| overflyer | its saying default via 192.168.2.1 dev wlan0 \ 169.254.0.0/16 dev wlan0 scope link metric 1000 \ 192.168.2.0/24 wlan0 proto kernel scope link 192.168.2.191 | 00:01 |
| overflyer | so yes i think its repourting to my router correctly | 00:02 |
| daftykins | overflyer: 169.254.x.x - that shows that your wifi link has failed as it has given itself an APIPA address. | 00:02 |
| overflyer | so since i only got low-medium linux skills. whats the matter here? how to fix it? | 00:02 |
| daftykins | well first off, why are you connecting to wifi headless? | 00:03 |
| urkengurken | ok my bios version is f.14 | 00:03 |

| joujou | Hi guys, now I have another problem: ubuntu does not detect the wifi card. I've downloaded linux firmware non-free and installed it with dpkg, but no good. Any idea? | 00:04 |
| === Guest90422 is now known as sonicx | ||
| daftykins | joujou: identify it first. "lspci" for PCI cards and "lsusb" for usb devices | 00:04 |
| Voyage | daftykins, but first I would need a player support. Vlc cant play it it seems | 00:04 |
| daftykins | Voyage: maybe not new enough, what's the source? | 00:05 |

| daftykins | overflyer: i'm more asking why you're running it command line only with wifi :P | 00:06 |
| daftykins | joujou: yep | 00:07 |
| wileee | sonicx, What is the release now? | 00:07 |
| daftykins | !broadcom | joujou read up here | 00:07 |
| ubottu | joujou read up here: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 00:07 |
| overflyer | because its a server i dont wanna install a gui | 00:07 |
| easyOnMe | daftykins: how do I create a new user on my ubuntu laptop that is not allowed to perform sudo commands so that when I run scripts it won't mess up my laptop this is what the people in #bash channel wanted me to ask here | 00:08 |
| easyOnMe | according to them that is the solution to my needs | 00:08 |
| urkengurker | ok im back | 00:08 |
| zykotick9 | overflyer: i'd suggest wicd-curses myself... YMMV good luck. | 00:08 |
| urkengurker | may you please send me the instructions again? | 00:09 |
| daftykins | easyOnMe: go to settings, users, create one that isn't an admin. | 00:09 |

| sonicx | one sec | 00:09 |
| daftykins | Voyage: alright, well you'll need to look up whether that version is capable. | 00:09 |
| easyOnMe | daftykins: ok thanks | 00:09 |
| overflyer | zykotick9 ... what is wics-curses? | 00:09 |
| G0 | Hi | 00:10 |
| zykotick9 | overflyer: it's a curses (terminal based) network manager | 00:10 |
| sonicx | Kdelibs version 4.13.3 | 00:10 |
| sonicx | 32bit | 00:10 |
| wileee | sonicx, 14.04, 14.10? | 00:10 |
| urkengurker | daftykins: may you please send me the instructions again, I'm on another computer | 00:10 |
| Voyage | daftykins, thats why I asked to know which players are compatible. VLC seems not to be | 00:10 |
| sonicx | 14.04 | 00:10 |
| overflyer | so daftykins... you got any clue why link fails? zykotick9 so will that console based networkmanager interfere with my already set up wpsa_supplicant and interfaces config? | 00:10 |
| daftykins | urkengurker: nope. | 00:11 |
| urkengurker | ? | 00:11 |
| urkengurker | why not? | 00:11 |
| daftykins | overflyer: the IP on your interface is an APIPA address, it didn't find a DHCP server which suggests your wireless connection isn't actually working. | 00:11 |
| zykotick9 | overflyer: possibly... | 00:11 |
| urkengurker | seriously | 00:11 |
| daftykins | overflyer: try forcing it with e.g. "sudo ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.200 netmask 255.255.255.0" | 00:12 |
| overflyer | u got an idea what part or configfile(line) i needs fixing? | 00:12 |
| overflyer | ah ok | 00:12 |
| wileee | sonicx, Note my message starts with your nick, that is how you know I'm addressing you. You will have to upgrade through a eol to get to 15.04 that is a short support release. The other issues describe for help is all. | 00:12 |
| daftykins | overflyer: well i can't see your config from here | 00:12 |
| daftykins | overflyer: ah hang on i got the number wrong | 00:12 |
| urkengurker | was it.? check bios version, clear all keys? | 00:13 |
| daftykins | overflyer: try forcing it with e.g. "sudo ifconfig wlan0 192.168.2.200 netmask 255.255.255.0" | 00:13 |
| urkengurker | what was after | 00:13 |
| sonicx | so don't upgrade? | 00:13 |
| joujou | So, I found out what chipset it was, downloaded fwcutter .deb and installed it but it still does not detect the wifi card. Ideas? | 00:14 |
| wileee | sonicx, you talking to me? | 00:14 |
| daftykins | joujou: rebooted? | 00:14 |
| joujou | daftykins: I'll try and report | 00:15 |
| overflyer | now ip route only returns 192.168.2.0/64 dev wlan0 proto kernel link src 192.168.2.200 which is a good thing right since no more APIPA address. however apt-get update still wont work | 00:15 |
| sonicx | <wileee> ya | 00:15 |
| daftykins | overflyer: start simple. try "ping 192.168.2.1" if that's your router's IP. (is it?) use ctrl+C to stop | 00:16 |
| wileee | sonicx, you can tab complete nicks, upgrade but be informed of what it entails, is my point only. If you did not understand just ask, no biggie. | 00:16 |
| G0 | Someone speaks portuguese ? | 00:16 |
| urkengurken | My hp envy m4 1015dx won't boot the cd, it has something like "efi won't load" and then whenever i try to install ubuntu it won't install | 00:16 |
| overflyer | router gets pinged successfuly !!! :) | 00:16 |
| Voyage | how to play hevc based videos on ubuntu? | 00:16 |
| urkengurken | it just makes a loud fan noise and shuts my computer down | 00:16 |

| wileee | urkengurken, free volunteer help, have some patience and read links given you. | 00:18 |
| daftykins | urkengurken: already told you what to do. | 00:18 |
| urkengurken | I know | 00:18 |
| urkengurken | I switched to another computer | 00:18 |
| urkengurken | i need someone to co-py and paste the instructions again | 00:18 |
| overflyer | 64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_seq=20 ttl=64 time=2.37ms ...for example | 00:18 |
| sonicx | ok ? how do I fix the windows lay out like the "x" button to close and so on | 00:19 |
| sonicx | wileee; sorry keep forgeting to add your name | 00:19 |
| daftykins | overflyer: you got anything to take a picture with? | 00:19 |
| daftykins | urkengurken: write them down in future. so, any BIOS updates? | 00:19 |
| overflyer | a smartphone yes. why. how to send a picture in irc? O.o | 00:20 |
| urkengurken | daftykins: I'm not sure how to check that | 00:20 |
| daftykins | overflyer: throw it on imgur.com then link me here, what i'd like to see is the output of "route -n" | 00:20 |
| urkengurken | daftykins: don't worry ill figure it out and come back | 00:20 |
| daftykins | urkengurken: yeah that was the plan | 00:20 |
| wileee | sonicx, I have not used kubuntu is all so not sure. But be as clear as possible, maybe an image of it and a url where you load it to would help the description. | 00:20 |
| sonicx | wileee:umm how do i do that? | 00:21 |
| wileee | !pastebin | sonicx look at imagebin info | 00:21 |

| wileee | sonicx, YOU have a prtsc key, I would assume kubuntu has an image app as well. | 00:22 |
| daftykins | overflyer: hmm would've been preferred. yeah you've got no gateway | 00:22 |
| daftykins | overflyer: route add default gw 192.168.2.1 | 00:22 |
| sonicx | ok one sec | 00:22 |
| daftykins | ^with sudio | 00:22 |
| daftykins | *sudo | 00:22 |
| overflyer | it was definitely added in interfaces...very strange. wait a sec ill do your command | 00:23 |
| wileee | sonicx, I doubt I can help, so just do this to the channel, if I see something I will let you know. ;) | 00:23 |
| overflyer | ok done. now what? | 00:23 |
| overflyer | still no internet connectivity. route-n now returns two lines | 00:24 |
| overflyer | ill upload pc to imgur | 00:24 |
| overflyer | pic | 00:24 |
| urkengurken | ok im stumped | 00:24 |
| urkengurken | what is "flashing a bios" do i need to do that? | 00:24 |
| daftykins | overflyer: should have 'UG' beside 192.168.2.1 | 00:26 |
| urkengurken | ok i think it has to be updated to f.20 | 00:26 |
| urkengurken | its f.14 rn | 00:26 |
| overflyer | http://imgur.com/hMWRC2N | 00:26 |
| daftykins | overflyer: maybe you're just lacking DNS now. put "nameserver 192.168.2.1" into /etc/resolv.conf | 00:27 |
| overflyer | it does but destination and genmask are 0 now | 00:27 |
| meLon | I do not have a `/etc/X11/xorg.conf` file. Is it possible to generate this with my current settings? | 00:27 |
| overflyer | i put it in resolv.conf with the quotes "" ? | 00:28 |
| sonicx | sorry hard to use it this way | 00:28 |
| daftykins | overflyer: without | 00:28 |
| daftykins | overflyer: you can confirm DNS by getting IPs back from "nslookup ubuntu.com" | 00:28 |
| overflyer | done! is a reboot neccessary now? | 00:28 |
| overflyer | i get ip from ubuntu.com now and it is working | 00:29 |
| overflyer | OMG your my HERO!!!!!! THX!!!! | 00:29 |
| overflyer | will those configurations stay fixed now and next reboot my internet connection still works? | 00:30 |
| urkengurken | ok daftykins, i really confused, how do i check if i need to update it | 00:30 |
| daftykins | overflyer: nope, install the package "pastebinit" and share your /etc/network/interfaces - i suspect something's wrong | 00:31 |

| wvew | hello there, I made a clean install, and when I was running the first software update, I accidentally interrupted the process. now, when I restarted the machine, I have grub command line ( like this; grub>)..how can I fix this? | 01:31 |
| wvew | noone here to help? | 01:37 |
| wvew | for the first time ever nobody replying here | 01:39 |
| Bashing-om | wvew: Can you boot from grub boot menu in " rtecovery mode ' ? | 01:40 |
| wvew | Bashing-om, hi. I dont see the boot menu in the first place. after the first splash screen comes directly the black command line screens with a blinking cursor after grub> | 01:42 |
| wvew | and an explanation at the top that says 'minimal BASH-like line editing..." | 01:42 |
| mbrigdan | Hey guys, semi-recently, alt-middle click stopped letting me resize windows, it seems to paste stuff instead. Anyone know how I can get it to go back to its old behaviour? | 01:42 |
| nicomachus | mbrigdan: keyboard shortcuts in the system settings | 01:43 |
| Bashing-om | wvew: Try this: Reboot, and as soon as the bios screen clears depress and hold a shift key -> grub boot menu ? | 01:44 |
| mbrigdan | nicomachus, hmm, keyboard shortcuts only lists alt-F8 | 01:44 |
| wvew | Bashing-om, sorry, what is 'depress' ? | 01:45 |
| mbrigdan | nicomachus, ah I found it, it was hiding in ccsm. Thanks anyways | 01:45 |
| Bashing-om | wvew: Depress = hold down the key . | 01:45 |
| wvew | Bashing-om, so I just press down a shift key? | 01:46 |
| Bashing-om | wvew: Yep, unless this is a UEFI system, then it is the escape key . | 01:46 |
| wvew | Bashing-om, yes, boot menu! it says 1.usb hdd <enter setup> | 01:48 |
| Bashing-om | wvew: That does not sound like the grub boot menu . Maybe you did bot await bios to clear, before pressing the shift key ? | 01:50 |
| Bashing-om | bot/not* | 01:50 |
| Bashing-om | wvew: Honestly if you re-install .. will be quicker and easier than trying to fix this fresh install . | 01:51 |
| wvew | oh no.. | 01:52 |
| Bashing-om | wvew: The choice is yours, and your time . Your call . | 01:53 |
| wvew | Bashing-om, i think I will do that. | 01:53 |
| wvew | thank you for your help | 01:53 |
| Bashing-om | wvew: " i think I will do that. " Which ? fix or re-install . | 01:54 |
| wvew | Bashing-om, I meant reinstall :) | 01:54 |
| Bashing-om | wvew: Yeah, I assure you, that is the better option, ubless you want to spend some time learning this operating system . There is a learning curve to fix a broken install . But it is ubuntu ! It is always fixable . | 01:56 |
| wvew | Bashing-om..yes, I'd fixed grub before with a few commands and a live cd, but this time things looked messier :) | 01:57 |
| Bashing-om | wvew: :) ,, Maybe we could CHange Root into the install from the liveDVD and complete the update . possible . Won't take long to find out . | 02:00 |
| wvew | started reinstall already..thank you Bashing-om | 02:02 |
| Bashing-om | wvew: K, still the btter thing to do - (RE-)install . Then no worries later on if 'something' is not right . | 02:03 |
| wvew | yes | 02:03 |
| Techspectre | In general, how much swap space should Ubuntu be using at a time? Under normal everyday use? | 02:04 |
| nicomachus | daftykins: do you know if unity in 15.04 still does compositing? everything I can find is 11.04 or older | 02:04 |
| stack12 | Techspectre: if you never max out your ram make it use none | 02:05 |
| Techspectre | stack12, I see. As far as I can tell, I'm not maxing out my ram. But for some reason, Ubuntu has been freezing recently. Like, I have to reset the machine, as if I were on Windows. And I'm wondering if swap space is the problem, because I have 8Gb of ram but only 6.5 Gb of swap space | 02:06 |
| wileee | TechChristoph_, Is it swapping? | 02:08 |
| wileee | Techspectre, ^^ | 02:08 |
| wileee | sorry TechChristoph_ | 02:08 |
| === gerald is now known as Guest86832 | ||
| Techspectre | wileee, Well, sys monitor says it's using absolutely none of the swap | 02:08 |
| Techspectre | 0% | 02:08 |
| wileee | Techspectre, If you have a spinning HD, if it swaps it may produce this, you can monitor this, I use a conky, changing the swappiness value is an option, all this is on conjecture is all. | 02:10 |
| Techspectre | wileee, the swap space is located on an SSD | 02:11 |
| Techspectre | Is there an effective way to identify the cause for freezes | 02:11 |
| wileee | Techspectre, demsg might show info | 02:12 |
| Techspectre | wileee, could you tell me how to use that in the terminal | 02:12 |
| wileee | dmesg in the terminal gives a huge text output, have fun. ;) | 02:13 |
| Techspectre | lmao | 02:13 |
| Techspectre | okay thank you | 02:13 |
| Techspectre | lmao I have no clue what I'm looking at | 02:14 |
| Techspectre | and there's so much data it would take ages to identify the problem this way | 02:14 |
| wileee | Techspectre, there is no magic answer, I gave you some stuff to work with. | 02:14 |
| Techspectre | wileee, and I appreciate it | 02:15 |
| Techspectre | I guess the first step to take will be to run stress on the CPU and memory, see if I can get it to hang... if not, I'll chalk it up to software and read through that output | 02:16 |
| Bashing-om | Techspectre: Another thought, ya might keep 'top' running in a terminal, and see if an pplication becomes a resource hog . | 02:17 |
| Techspectre | Bashing-om, thanks I'll try that. Not familiar with top, is it the same as watching sys monitor? | 02:18 |
| mariano_ | does ubuntu have a screen auto rotate option out of the box? | 02:18 |
| Bashing-om | Techspectre: Very similar .just open a terminal and type top to start the tool . | 02:19 |
| Bashing-om | Techspectre: ^ 'q' to quit out of top . | 02:19 |

| wileee | bedeho, Help is here if you outline the issue. | 03:41 |
| chaos7theory | bedeho: If you're doing it, my best advice is do it with the most recent stable release of Ubuntu possible | 03:41 |
| bedeho | chaos7theory: that seems to have have happened to me as well | 03:41 |
| bedeho | wilee: thanks, will explain | 03:42 |
| chaos7theory | Are you booting through Windows Boot Manager or GRUB? | 03:42 |
| === CarloMagno is now known as uberius | ||

| bedeho | The boot manager seems like an ubuntu manager, so that would be grub I guess | 03:43 |
| wileee | bedeho, Did you resize windows with the ubuntu install? | 03:44 |
| fasdf | hi do all app running on ubuntu can also be used in linux mint ? | 03:44 |
| wileee | fasdf, You would have to ask mint. ;) | 03:44 |
| bedeho | wilee: yes, there was just one disk, so an ubuntu partition was created, which resulted in resizing the single windows partition | 03:45 |
| wileee | bedeho, That can be an issue, you in ubuntu now? | 03:45 |
| bedeho | wileee: yes | 03:45 |
| bedeho | it works just fine | 03:45 |
| wileee | bedeho, run in the ubuntu terminal sudo fdisk -l and pastebin the info | 03:46 |
| wileee | bedeho, let us know the ubuntu release as well. | 03:46 |
| chaos7theory | Do you have a recovery USB drive or DVD? | 03:47 |

| wileee | bedeho, cool, you want the bots info on pastebin? | 03:48 |
| bedeho | chaos7theory: I think the machine ships with some windows version on some hidden partition or something | 03:48 |
| bedeho | I dont have a disk | 03:48 |
| wileee | bedeho, Ah, this was a oem install? the command is actually to see what is there, if a UEFI setup, do you know? | 03:50 |
| bedeho | wilee: not sure I understand, what is UEFI? | 03:51 |
| bedeho | wilee: http://pastebin.com/64r4em13 | 03:51 |
| bedeho | also not sure how I find my ubuntu version | 03:51 |
| wileee | bedeho, UEFI Is the new no bios safe boot setup, a gpt partition setup. | 03:52 |
| wileee | you have gpt | 03:52 |
| bedeho | gpt? | 03:53 |
| wileee | bedeho, You will need better help than me, we will have to fighure out a few things great help here though. | 03:53 |
| wileee | !uefi | bedeho just info as of now | 03:53 |
| ubottu | bedeho just info as of now: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 03:53 |
| bedeho | ok, not sure entirely what to make of this, I just followed the recommended steps for getting dual boot to work... | 03:54 |
| wileee | bedeho, under a gpt scenario? Not sure you followed the correct source is all. | 03:55 |
| wileee | bedeho, Things have changed since this uefi has been around with dualboots, you just need a helper whom can check the wrk you done and get you the right help. ;) | 03:56 |
| wileee | work you've* | 03:57 |
| wileee | bedeho, Not saying you can't do this, just a suggestion is all. | 03:58 |
| bedeho | who would you recommend I try to get to help me onthis? | 04:00 |
| bedeho | wileee: Not sure whom to ask | 04:01 |
| wileee | bedeho, seems appropriate, you came here for help, I mean here. | 04:01 |
| blook | anybody able to help me out with a regex really quickly? #regex is dead. | 04:01 |
| wileee | bedeho, Kind of slow right now, but this is a common issue in general and there are users here whom give help on uefi. | 04:02 |
| bedeho | wilee: thank you, will try come back then. Do you have any sort of hunch about what will be required? | 04:03 |
| bedeho | wilee: I dont even mind reinstalling windows, i would justl ike to avoid reinstalling ubuntu | 04:04 |

| wileee | yes | 05:22 |
| wileee | same bcd since vista | 05:22 |
| chaos7theory | So Ubuntu detects it fine with UEFI and everything? | 05:22 |
| wileee | chaos7theory, I was msdos, but there should be no issue, same boot structure | 05:22 |
| wileee | I have not had a uefi to mess with is all | 05:23 |
| chaos7theory | I've had a bad history with it even with SecureBoot off, where I never got it to work <_> | 05:24 |
| chaos7theory | But that was with 12.04/12.10 more specifically a few years back | 05:24 |
| wileee | chaos7theory, some do it could be the computers setup in some, hard to say from here. | 05:24 |
| wileee | there were more problems it seemed around the 12.04 release, not really an accurate assessment though. | 05:25 |
| chaos7theory | I'll see how well it goes xD | 05:29 |
| chaos7theory | I did a clean install of Windows 10, though annoyingly it only dedicated 100 MB to the ESP, where from what I understand 200-300 MB is recommended especially on dualboot | 05:30 |

| LonelyDanbo | Is there any point in me trying Ubuntu to fix issues I'm having with Xubuntu, or should I try Mint instead? I'm having trouble with my graphics driver in support of Linux Steam, and also Wine. | 05:56 |
| baizon | LonelyDanbo: the version is important there. And what is your problem? | 05:57 |
| LonelyDanbo | uhm... I should get the specific text. I don't remember. | 05:58 |
| LonelyDanbo | for Steam, "OpenGL GLX extention not supported by display". | 05:58 |
| baizon | LonelyDanbo: well i had trouble with intel graphics on 14.04, but they were gone with 14.10 and 15.04 | 05:59 |
| LonelyDanbo | for Wine... it's tricker. I did an apt-get update and apt-get I forget what, and the game I had that used to crash 3/4 times now crashes 4/4 times when trying to start. | 05:59 |
| LonelyDanbo | ... Oh. Yeah I'm on Xubuntu 14.04. | 06:00 |
| LonelyDanbo | No one seemed to suggest that a higher version would be a good idea, and the only reason against it was "LTS". | 06:00 |
| LonelyDanbo | Also I'm on an AMD chip. | 06:01 |
| baizon | LonelyDanbo: well i had to upgrade to the newest wine1.7 because had trouble with the 1.6. | 06:01 |
| baizon | LonelyDanbo: well for gaming i would suggest to use the newest version of *buntu | 06:02 |
| LonelyDanbo | Any difference between Ubuntu and Xubuntu? The one person giving me advice said they're not the same and at least Steam is designed for Ubuntu. | 06:03 |
| baizon | LonelyDanbo: well xubuntu uses xfce and xfwm, ubuntu uses gnome and compiz, but it should not be the problem if something bad happens | 06:04 |
| LonelyDanbo | I also heard trying to update versions of the OS can break things so I guess I need to install a new OS on another partition regardless... | 06:04 |
| baizon | LonelyDanbo: it depends, but yes i do always a fresh install of my xubuntu machine | 06:05 |
| ronburgendy | if you're worried about steam working, I'm pretty they have both worked out of the box for me | 06:05 |
| ronburgendy | 14.04, and 15.04 | 06:06 |
| LonelyDanbo | Well it's not working for me on 14.04 | 06:06 |
| ronburgendy | try out 15.04, thats what im running now | 06:06 |
| ronburgendy | new kernal probably broke it | 06:06 |
| baizon | LonelyDanbo: like i said, 15.04 has newer software and drivers, so less bugs. 14.04 is more stable but has less "newer" stuff. | 06:06 |
| LonelyDanbo | so much for "LTS" being reliable. | 06:06 |
| baizon | LonelyDanbo: it is, but not for everything. Games need many updates and stuff. | 06:07 |
| ronburgendy | I just wish they had more support for drivers from AMD | 06:07 |
| LonelyDanbo | I guess when I get things working I should not update. :( | 06:07 |
| LonelyDanbo | I had it working for over a year and updating is what broke it all. | 06:08 |
| baizon | ronburgendy: +1 sadly :( | 06:08 |
| ronburgendy | thats why I make a small 35gig partition on the side with windows 7 for csgo lol | 06:08 |
| LonelyDanbo | well... not Steam. I didn't try installing Steam before, so I'm not sure if it was unbroken then. | 06:08 |
| baizon | LonelyDanbo: what ronburgendy just said. I need 20 min for a fresh install | 06:08 |
| baizon | with that partition i mean | 06:08 |
| baizon | not windows 7 :P | 06:09 |
| LonelyDanbo | I also had a question about the boot loader. that's the thing that lets you pick which partition to boot? I'm not sure which OS set it up, but are there incompatibilties between them? like Debian and Ubuntu? It seems to have made a bit of a mess when I installed both. | 06:09 |
| LonelyDanbo | I'm wondering if it's going to delete old entries and put in new ones if I install another OS or if I have to learn how to manually edit that stuff. | 06:10 |

| ronburgendy | lmao | 06:11 |
| baizon | LonelyDanbo: always remember... don't forget to backup your data first | 06:14 |

| ronburgendy | im guessing they have their own channel | 06:15 |
| LonelyDanbo | I can't backup. I don't have another HD. | 06:15 |
| ronburgendy | take it to the cloud then | 06:15 |
| crazyhorse18 | gliffy (web) works really well but costs $100 per year, google docs doesn't allow you to connect tables properly.. i'm really at a lost | 06:15 |
| crazyhorse18 | loss* | 06:15 |
| baizon | LonelyDanbo: cloud? google drive, dropbox, mega, etc. | 06:15 |
| LonelyDanbo | Uhg. I ... I guess I'll just acknowledge your advice and say nothing more. :| | 06:17 |
| LonelyDanbo | do I have to do more identifying of partitions before I try to wipe my Debian installation and install another version of Xubuntu on it beside my older Xubuntu? running "df" seems to have identified where my current Xubuntu is, but an fdisk -l shows a lot more than just 2 partitions of the 2 OSes I have. | 06:25 |
| ronburgendy | can you mount the partitions and see what is in them? | 06:27 |
| LonelyDanbo | the Debian's partition with pictures and such is already mounted, though I'm not sure which /dev/sdbwhatever it is. oh wait, the size should make that clear. | 06:29 |
| ronburgendy | if you can pastebin I could tell you whats what | 06:31 |
| Blinkiz | Hello. I was tuning my display setup (Control panel -> Displays) and after that am having problem scrolling with my mouse wheel. When scrolling fast the window hops up to the top, irritating. What has happened? It is the same with all different kinds of mouses, tried a couple so it is not hardware problem but software | 06:31 |
| LonelyDanbo | ronburgendy http://pastebin.com/rzYqQ9gM | 06:32 |
| LonelyDanbo | sda7 is Xubuntu. I'm guessing sda6 is Debian. something tells me that 6 & 7 are inside 2? | 06:33 |

| ubottu | File cp210x.ko found in linux-image-3.19.0-16-lowlatency, linux-image-3.19.0-20-lowlatency, linux-image-3.19.0-21-lowlatency, linux-image-3.19.0-22-lowlatency, linux-image-extra-3.19.0-16-generic, linux-image-extra-3.19.0-20-generic, linux-image-extra-3.19.0-21-generic, linux-image-extra-3.19.0-22-generic | 07:44 |

| wolfgang | hi | 07:45 |
| Triffid_Hunter | OerHeks: hm looks like the kernel is old, and apt-get install linux-image spits out a huge list of versions and types and tells me to be more specific. how do I find out what type of kernel is currently installed?

| OerHeks | Triffid_Hunter, so you claim those kernels are old, and you wanjt PAE? | 07:51 |
| OerHeks | bcx_, you might want to ask in #ubuntu-server too | 07:51 |
| bcx_ | ah cool, thanks for that tip | 07:52 |
| ronburgendy | bcx_ have you looked into rsync? Never used it but thought id throw it out there | 07:52 |
| bcx_ | i've done some googling, but i felt like i was going in circles | 07:52 |
| bcx_ | hang on, let me look it up :) | 07:52 |
| OerHeks | rsync is indeed a fast solution | 07:53 |
| bcx_ | i am looking at the example on the rsync site... if i just want to sync my /var/www stuff, can i assume that the "export PATH=$PATH:" should be /var/www on the 2nd server? | 07:56 |
| Ububegin | I am at the root folder.. how do i find the size of all the folders here.. If i type du -lh * .. it starts recursing to every sub folder | 07:56 |
| Ben64 | Ububegin: have you checked "man du" | 07:57 |
| === clobrano is now known as c-lob | ||

| VOID001__ | Hi , I cannot use gcc -m32 What dependencies do I need? | 07:59 |
| VOID001__ | I cannot find via search engine.. | 07:59 |
| somsip | Ububegin: it has to recurse to find the size of each file in the sub dirs and get the overall size used | 08:00 |
| VOID001__ | Hope anyone could give me the answer | 08:00 |
| Ububegin | somsip: but i just want it to display the size of the entire folder and not all the subdirectores and files etc | 08:00 |
| Triffid_Hunter | OerHeks: it has a 3.10 kernel, apt-get has 3.19-generic and 3.19-generic-lpae.. anyway, what's the risk of this board getting bricked if I update the kernel? | 08:01 |
| Ben64 | Ububegin: yeah, check the man page again for the switches you want | 08:01 |
| somsip | Ububegin: -d (max-depth) read the man as suggested | 08:01 |
| VOID001__ | Could anyone please tell me how to enable gcc -m32 on Ubuntu QAQ | 08:02 |
| VOID001__ | I don't know what dependencies to install | 08:02 |
| fidel_ | VOID001__: what error do you get? | 08:03 |
| VOID001__ | When I build wine from source | 08:03 |
| VOID001__ | run ./configure | 08:03 |
| Ben64 | why are you trying to do that | 08:04 |
| VOID001__ | then It shows checking whether gcc -m32 | 08:04 |
| VOID001__ | It said no | 08:04 |
| Ububegin | somsip: just used -s operator.. this seems quite good | 08:05 |

| VOID001__ | I don't know which dep for Ubuntu to enable 32 bit develop | 08:05 |

| elton | and i don’t know what to do next | 08:07 |
| somsip | elton: if you need to ask that question, dont upgrade the linux kernel | 08:07 |
| elton | well i need it to set-up docker | 08:08 |
| mcphail | VOID001__: if you really _need_ to build something from source, rather than use whatever is in the repositories, a quick tip is to use "sudo apt-get build-dep packagename" to install everything you need. Works 98% of the time | 08:08 |
| somsip | elton: really, I'm not being sarcastic. It's not something to do unless you know what you're doing | 08:08 |
| VOID001__ | But I think this time it doesn't work ... | 08:08 |
| VOID001__ | Thank you all the same | 08:08 |
| elton | well i guess my question is i want to upgrade the linux kernel | 08:09 |
| elton | what are my options | 08:09 |
| somsip | elton: the answer would be to use the one in the repo. Cmopiling the kernel from source is not supported here | 08:09 |
| elton | ah i see | 08:10 |
| richardreloaded | is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1246272 ever going to be fixed? | 08:10 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1246272 in unity-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) "Keyboard layout changing randomly" [Low,Confirmed] | 08:10 |
| mcphail | VOID001__: wine is a bit tricky because it wants to build a 32bit binary and you are probably running a 64bit Ubuntu version. This is a common snag, and a bit of basic searching on the wine website will answer your questions | 08:10 |
| richardreloaded | at all? | 08:10 |
| mcphail | VOID001__: building wine is not on topic here | 08:10 |
| elton | i’m trying to set-up environment and prereq is that i need linux kernel 3.8+ | 08:10 |
| VOID001__ | OK , I see ~ thanks | 08:10 |
| mcphail | !mainline | elton | 08:10 |
| ubottu | elton: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 08:10 |
| elton | nice | 08:11 |
| elton | i think that is what i need ty! | 08:11 |
| mcphail | elton: what version of Ubuntu are you running if your kernel is <3.8? | 08:11 |
| elton | ah this box is still 12 lts | 08:13 |
| elton | i think i am going to upgrade to 14 lts lol | 08:14 |
| mcphail | elton: probably a better idea than messing about with new kernels | 08:15 |
| elton | yeah definately | 08:15 |

| bcx_ | thanks to everyone recommending rsync - i've checked it out, looks good. not too hard to use, especially with the GUI (grsync) - one question though, what's the difference between backing up and synchronizing? | 08:20 |
| bcx_ | probably a dumb question :) | 08:20 |
| somsip | bcx_: back - copy everything from A to B. Sync - copy from A to B and from B to A depending on what's missing, filestamps, etc | 08:21 |
| fidel_ | bcx_: most likely unidirectional vs biderectional. refering to texts in grsync? | 08:21 |
| somsip | s/back/backup | 08:21 |
| bcx_ | i mean what makes them different. if i back up 1 server to another, what makes that different from syncing 1 server to another | 08:22 |
| fidel_ | oe direction vs two direction | 08:22 |
| somsip | bcx_: backup only goes one way - from source to destination. Sync goes both ways | 08:22 |
| bcx_ | ahh | 08:23 |
| bcx_ | great, thank you | 08:23 |
| richardreloaded | greetings to canonical. due to #1246272 my organization is forced to migrate from ubuntu to fedora... The accounting department regularly fails to login because their passwords are not entered correctly on a random keyboard layout | 08:29 |
| richardreloaded | which causes me a shitload of work and anger | 08:30 |
| richardreloaded | management was close to migrate back to windows. you guys fucked up big time | 08:31 |
| somsip | richardreloaded: this channel is staffed by volunteers, not canonical | 08:32 |
| richardreloaded | oh... sorry | 08:32 |
| mcphail | richardreloaded: please moderate your language | 08:32 |
| somsip | richardreloaded: you can go for the paid support, or you are relying on the community to help, which is here | 08:32 |
| k1l | and that bug sounds more like a general "i press the language cycle key binding" "bug". but thanks for your rant, that will help _a lot_ | 08:32 |
| richardreloaded | it isnt... i experience that bug myself quite regularly | 08:33 |
| richardreloaded | gdm just randomly changes the layout | 08:33 |
| richardreloaded | before you even touch the keyboard | 08:33 |
| Tzunamii | richardreloaded: Did you try the second to last 'solution' to see if it works properly after that? (in the bug thread) | 08:34 |

| richardreloaded | and we're using QWERTZ | 08:37 |

| Tebbo | but whatever | 08:54 |
| Flannel | _a00_: The simplest way would simply be to compare the package lists of each, and then remove/install the appropriate packages. You can get the package lists via the manifest file (for instance: http://releases.ubuntu.com/15.04/ubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.manifest) | 08:55 |
| OerHeks | you might want to visit wineHQ, for game help | 08:55 |

| _a00_ | Flannel: Thanks :) | 08:55 |
| OerHeks | Flannel, but some packages removes the whole unity-desktop | 08:55 |
| Flannel | OerHeks: yes, but he wants to remove the whole unity desktop, so that's a bonus. | 08:56 |

| sheratan | hola | 09:39 |
| sheratan | tengo un problema con mysql-server-5.6 | 09:40 |
| sheratan | alguien podria ayudarme? | 09:40 |
| k1l | !es | sheratan | 09:40 |
| ubottu | sheratan: 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. | 09:40 |
| ubuntunoob | k1l, The disk itself or the CD/DVD drive? It works fine under Windows. And here's the specs of device: http://pastebin.com/kT7cuNbA | 09:40 |
| sheratan | hello | 09:40 |
| sheratan | i have a problem with mysql-server-5.6 | 09:41 |
| k1l | sheratan: what problem? | 09:41 |
| k1l | ubuntunoob: the cd? | 09:42 |
| cfhowlett | k1l, USB is also an option? | 09:42 |
| sheratan | the term said this " dpkg: error al procesar el paquete mysql-server-5.6 (--configure): el paquete mysql-server-5.6 no está listo para configurarse no se puede configurar (estado actual `half-installed') Se encontraron errores al procesar: mysql-server-5.6 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) | 09:42 |
| sheratan | it's a bug, but i don't know the solution or alternative | 09:43 |
| ubuntunoob | k1l, the cd in question is a bootable Windows disk, I want to make .iso of it for future use. I tried other disks that I have laying around (both CD and DVD), neither of them seem to work. | 09:45 |
| McEE | Hi,what does the clean-script in apt-mirror is for exactly ? | 09:45 |
| cfhowlett | McEE, paste it. the documentation should explain. | 09:48 |
| EriC^^ | ubuntunoob: did you try with /dev/cdrom | 09:48 |
| McEE | cfhowlett, never bother if you dont know what i am talking about... | 09:48 |
| EriC^^ | ubuntunoob: try just mount -o loop /dev/cdrom /mnt | 09:49 |

| zvasafsaf | Why does Ubuntu have Multiverse and Universe repos and Debian doesn't? | 09:59 |
| cfhowlett | zvasafsaf, different distro's, different mirros | 10:00 |
| zvasafsaf | cfhowlett:Do Multiverse and Universe receive less support? | 10:00 |
| popey | kinda | 10:01 |
| popey | universe is community supported | 10:01 |
| popey | main is canonical supported | 10:01 |
| cfhowlett | !repos | zvasafsaf | 10:01 |
| ubottu | zvasafsaf: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories. | 10:01 |
| baizon | zvasafsaf: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu | 10:01 |
| baizon | zvasafsaf: or the fast way: "Universe - Community maintained software, i.e. not officially supported software. ", "Multiverse - Software that is not free. " | 10:02 |
| zvasafsaf | Thanks, will give it a read | 10:02 |
| zvasafsaf | baizon:The community releases bug fixes and uploads to the repos? | 10:02 |
| === eugen is now known as Guest98938 | ||
| k1l | !sru | zvasafsaf | 10:02 |
| baizon | zvasafsaf: well yes | 10:02 |
| ubottu | zvasafsaf: Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates | 10:02 |
| popey | yes zvasafsaf | 10:02 |
| popey | zvasafsaf: technically the same can be said of all the packages in all the sections | 10:03 |
| popey | because canonical is part of the community, and thus "the community" maintains all the packages | 10:03 |
| zvasafsaf | Do Universe and Multiverse packages receive updates in LTS even if it's not a security vulnerability? | 10:04 |
| baizon | zvasafsaf: yes | 10:04 |
| cfhowlett | zvasafsaf, yep | 10:04 |
| popey | updates as in bug and security fixes, yes. | 10:04 |
| k1l | zvasafsaf: its not that they get version upgrades. | 10:04 |
| cfhowlett | zvasafsaf, as not all packages update, I also enable backports. YMMV | 10:04 |
| zvasafsaf | Okay, it's not as bad as I thought then. I thought Debian would be a better choice for me because I thought it supported like 50k packages instead of Ubuntu's 10k | 10:05 |
| popey | zvasafsaf: not sure where those numbers come from | 10:05 |
| baizon | zvasafsaf: ubuntu also has ppa ;) | 10:05 |
| baizon | zvasafsaf: you know that ubuntu takes all his packages from debian, right? | 10:06 |
| popey | ubuntu pulls in most of the debian archive too | 10:06 |
| zvasafsaf | popey:Debian main repos and Ubuntu main | 10:06 |
| popey | thats not a good gauge | 10:06 |
| zvasafsaf | I am worried that if I install stuff that isn't Unity and Gnome packages in Ubuntu from the Universe and Multiverse repos that my system will become an unstable mess | 10:07 |
| popey | nah | 10:07 |
| baizon | wont happen | 10:07 |
| popey | this isn't arch ;) | 10:07 |
| baizon | only ppa can break your system | 10:07 |
| zvasafsaf | Is it okay to upgrade to LTS from non-LTS and then set my update manager to only update to the next LTS or do I need to do a clean install? | 10:08 |
| baizon | zvasafsaf: its ok, but i personally always do a fresh install | 10:09 |
| popey | i wouldn't skip versions | 10:09 |
| zvasafsaf | baizon:Why? | 10:09 |
| popey | but you can | 10:09 |
| popey | I always upgrade :) | 10:09 |
| zvasafsaf | popey:I mean upgrade between versions then get to LTS then skip until the next LTS | 10:09 |
| baizon | zvasafsaf: its faster, no need to upgrade, just install :) | 10:09 |
| zvasafsaf | popey:Because LTS is better, right? | 10:09 |
| popey | yes, you can LTS->LTS | 10:09 |
| popey | "better" is subjective | 10:10 |
| zvasafsaf | popey:But can I go non-LTS->non-LTS->LTS->LTS? | 10:10 |
| popey | yes | 10:10 |
| zvasafsaf | LTS is more stable, like Debian? | 10:10 |
| popey | no | 10:10 |
| popey | thats not what LTS is for | 10:10 |
| zvasafsaf | baizon:But then you have to reinstall all your packages and configs and everything... | 10:10 |
| baizon | zvasafsaf: what you cant to is this: 13.04 -> 14.04. | 10:10 |
| popey | LTS is for longer support period | 10:10 |
| popey | baizon: actually you can :) we just don't recommend it | 10:10 |
| zvasafsaf | popey:So it is not for consumers? | 10:11 |
| popey | zvasafsaf: wat? | 10:11 |
| popey | zvasafsaf: you are making some wild leaps here :) | 10:11 |
| baizon | popey: you need to 13.04 -> 13.10 -> 14.04, or am i wrong? | 10:11 |
| popey | baizon: we recommend that, yes. but it's possible to skip | 10:11 |
| zvasafsaf | popey:I want to use LTS because it has less bugs | 10:11 |
| baizon | ou ok, never skipped :D | 10:11 |
| popey | zvasafsaf: LTS doesn't mean less bugs | 10:11 |
| zvasafsaf | popey:I thought it did? | 10:12 |
| popey | zvasafsaf: LTS means supported for longer, hence "Long Term Support" | 10:12 |
| popey | meaning, you install it and don't have to upgrade for years | 10:12 |
| zvasafsaf | Is there a distro like Ubuntu but less buggy? | 10:12 |
| popey | wat | 10:12 |
| baizon | zvasafsaf: i tried them all, ubuntu has very few bugs ;) | 10:12 |
| bazhang | zvasafsaf, try ##linux | 10:12 |
| pupil | zvasafsaf: what bug do you find? | 10:12 |
| zvasafsaf | popey:I like Ubuntu because it has good support and easy ecryptfs and easy everything, but it is released every 6 months so is very buggy | 10:13 |
| baizon | zvasafsaf: thats why there is a LTS version ;) | 10:13 |
| baizon | so you dont have to upgrade every 6 months | 10:13 |
| pupil | zvasafsaf: that's why we recommend LTS version | 10:13 |
| popey | is released every 6 months does not mean "is buggy" | 10:14 |
| cfhowlett | popey, your choice. Personally, I find I don't truly NEED the shiniest, newest packages. LTS only works just fine. Naturally, YMMV. | 10:14 |
| popey | cfhowlett: wat? | 10:14 |
| EriC^^ | highlight fail | 10:14 |
| popey | cfhowlett: why are you telling me that? | 10:14 |
| cfhowlett | popey, d'oh! ignore me. | 10:15 |
| popey | /ignore cfhowlett | 10:15 |
| cfhowlett | sorry | 10:15 |
| baizon | hehe :) | 10:15 |
| jpds | zvasafsaf: If you find a piece of software that has no bugs, let me know | 10:15 |
| cfhowlett | zvasafsaf, bleeding edge = bloody edge. Unless you truly NEED the newest, shiniest packages, I suspect LTS only will satisfy you quite nicely. | 10:16 |
| bazhang | he's muted, lets get back to regular support please | 10:17 |
| baizon | hehe, yeah hes right, he just got muted. Moving on | 10:17 |
| Balder_ | Hello guys | 10:32 |
| Balder_ | On ubuntu with gnome 3.16 whats best ati driver to use the open one or fglrx ? | 10:32 |
| EriC^^ | Balder_: depends if you need the gpu, unity runs better on the open one for me | 10:34 |
| EriC^^ | temps are lower | 10:34 |
| Balder_ | i dont unity one gnome shell but this open driver feels alot snappier and stable | 10:34 |
| Balder_ | use* | 10:34 |
| mcphail | Balder_: depends on a few things, including your card. I much prefer the open driver for my AMD APU | 10:35 |
| Balder_ | my card is 7850 | 10:35 |
| bfahmi | exit | 10:38 |
| bfahmi | Quit | 10:38 |
| Balder_ | ur here | 10:38 |
| mcphail | Balder_: try them both and see what works best for you | 10:39 |
| Balder_ | in terms of stability etc this open feels better so far i can play 4k videos on youtube with out any lagging.. | 10:40 |
| bfahmi | set nick mr.xbin | 10:40 |
| cfhowlett | !nick | bfahmi | 10:41 |
| ubottu | bfahmi: 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. | 10:41 |

| cfhowlett | Fahim, greetings. ask your ubuntu questions. | 11:05 |

| rustx | hi guys | 11:07 |
| Fahim | hello | 11:07 |
| rustx | i have one question regarding apt private repositories via ssh on custom port | 11:07 |
| Dirkos | I can login in my terminal, but when i login to my GUI i hear the system login sound but then return to my login page | 11:08 |
| Dirkos | even though the pass is valid. Anyone that has an idea? | 11:08 |
| EriC^^ | Dirkos: does the guest account work? | 11:08 |
| rustx | what is the correct syntax to configure port into apt/sources.list file ? | 11:08 |
| Dirkos | EriC^^: what is the guest account? | 11:08 |
| Dirkos | I can login while doing CTRL+ALT+F1 with the same account | 11:09 |
| rustx | i am trying this one but does not work deb [arch=amd64] ssh://apt.repo:8888/var/repositories trusty main | 11:09 |
| EriC^^ | Dirkos: ok, type ls -l ~/.Xauthority | 11:09 |
| Dirkos | EriC^^: no guest session is not working | 11:09 |
| EriC^^ | oh | 11:09 |
| k1l | Dirkos: see on the tty1 with ls -al what is owned by root:root in your home | 11:09 |
| Dirkos | k1l: nothing only the .. folder which makes sense | 11:10 |
| k1l | Dirkos: ok, that could have been an easy fix if it was a wrong owner of important files in the users homw | 11:10 |
| k1l | *home | 11:10 |
| EriC^^ | Dirkos: type cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | nc termbin.com 9999 | 11:11 |
| Dirkos | well its an almost clean install | 11:11 |
| EriC^^ | has it worked before? | 11:11 |
| Dirkos | partial | 11:11 |
| EriC^^ | meaning? | 11:11 |
| RSpliet | when I "# fsck -yf /dev/sdc2 " as preparation for fs resize in Trusty, the result is a corrupted filesystem | 11:11 |
| k1l | Dirkos: what video card is it? and what driver is installed? | 11:11 |
| Dirkos | has some issues with 2 screens but was resolved after installing video drivers, after that a kernel update and now this | 11:11 |
| Dirkos | correct driver though | 11:11 |
| RSpliet | are there any known problems with either fsck or the mmc driver in trusty? | 11:11 |
| Dirkos | Nvidia Quadro K2200 | 11:12 |
| EriC^^ | Dirkos: try using the old kernel | 11:12 |
| k1l | Dirkos: make sure the kernel headers are installed for that kernel | 11:12 |
| Dirkos | is there anything i should look at, at the Xorg.log? | 11:12 |
| Dirkos | FBIOBLANK : Invalid argument is at the bottom | 11:13 |
| EriC^^ | Dirkos: any errors, but if it happened after the kernel update, i'd just use the older kernel or try a different driver, or see what k1l suggested | 11:13 |
| jpds | rustx: I didn't even know that APT could do SSH | 11:16 |
| === bogdan_ is now known as Bogdar | ||

| Afdla | what display manager ubuntu uses and how could I revert this? | 11:24 |
| Afdla | I thought I was using lightdm | 11:24 |
| Afdla | changed the greeter, failed the way I should write it. Then i fixed it from terminal with nano, but now I get only white screen | 11:25 |

| EriC^^ | hmm | 11:34 |
| Dirkos | On the old kernel, the new kernel is crashing on both | 11:35 |
| EriC^^ | try a different graphics driver maybe | 11:35 |
| Dirkos | The strange thing is that a collegue has exactly the same system only with a different screen | 11:35 |
| Dirkos | And same driver etc | 11:35 |
| Dirkos | But if Gnome works, why should a driver fix it? | 11:36 |
| EriC^^ | maybe the driver doesn't work well with unity | 11:36 |

| === clown is now known as Guest76078 | ||
| Dirkos | EriC^^: driver is listed there | 11:38 |
| Dirkos | what is the easiest way to remove it k1l ? | 11:39 |
| k1l | and gnome-fallback might have worked because it doesnt need 3d drivers to work. | 11:39 |
| Dirkos | since it was a .run file | 11:39 |

| vishnu_ | does any one know how to change fonts of lxde menu | 11:40 |
| Afdla | basic ubuntu, though I've installed xfce4 | 11:40 |
| Afdla | and removed unity | 11:40 |
| k1l | Afdla: ok, should still be lightdm (i know ony kubuntu uses a different dm since 15.04) | 11:41 |
| Dirkos | k1l: thanks, will install it from aptitude | 11:41 |
| Dirkos | connection here is limited so will take a while though | 11:41 |
| Dirkos | 135 kb/s lol | 11:41 |
| k1l | Afdla: what tell the logs? you said you changed lightdm stuff, is that the cause? | 11:41 |
| Afdla | yea I tried to change the greeter | 11:41 |
| WG1337 | HI! If I want to mirror 2 files to different (local) location, can rsync do that? But I want to have a instant update. So each time file is changed - sync it. | 11:42 |
| Afdla | but forgot the [something] from above it | 11:42 |
| Afdla | then restarted lightdm and boom | 11:42 |
| Afdla | I got to desktop now but the login screen is just white | 11:42 |
| Afdla | I even reverted the greeter change removing the lines | 11:43 |
| k1l | WG1337: see if the suggestions here lead to a solution for you: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/31905/real-time-local-file-sync | 11:43 |
| k1l | Afdla: hmm. so all the configs are back to original? | 11:44 |
| Afdla | should be, yea | 11:44 |
| Afdla | only thing I changed was the greeter but I removed it already | 11:44 |
| Afdla | tried rebooting and now it says "authentication is required for rebooting the system"? | 11:45 |

| EriC^^ | stereoit_: can you get temporary access to the internet to download one package? | 11:55 |

| ubottu | APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline | 11:55 |
| stereoit_ | cfhowlett: OK, but how I convert "install package-X" into own repo with all dependincies? | 11:55 |
| cfhowlett | stereoit_, no idea. | 11:55 |
| stereoit_ | EriC^^: noep, I can push only files via scp | 11:55 |
| EriC^^ | stereoit_: you need internet access to install aptoncd though, maybe if you get it and it's dependencies on a usb or something it would work i guess | 11:55 |
| EriC^^ | stereoit_: try aptoncd maybe | 11:56 |
| h0mer | download the packages into a separate folder | 11:56 |

| acetakwas | Unity isn't on my system anymore | 12:02 |
| acetakwas | I can't update with apt successfully | 12:02 |
| MonkeyDust | acetakwas upgrade to a supported release, then ask again | 12:02 |
| acetakwas | I don't have another version right now | 12:03 |
| stereoit_ | seems the aptoncd is a right tool | 12:03 |

| naftilos76 | Hi, i am on lm cinnamon and apache server while it restarts fine manually after booting it does not auto start as it should . It is there in the /etc/rc.X .

| Fatar | what's the command to know where a shortcut leads to? | 12:10 |
| MonkeyDust | Fudge indicator-cpufreq lets me change the cpu mode with a single click ... Conservative / Ondemand / Powersave / Performance | 12:11 |

| bq_ | i have a domain name on godaddy now I want its subdomain pointing to a server on AWS, how do i do that? | 12:12 |
| Fatar | nope mcEE that didn't work | 12:13 |
| Fudge | MonkeyDust: its interesint that thsi install cpufreqd is not making my cpu run at full speed as i want from this core 2 duo. it runs at 2.1ghz instead of 2.8 | 12:13 |
| Fudge | apt-mirror is really easy to use | 12:14 |
| McEE | Fud | 12:14 |
| McEE | Fudge: better is like what openSUSE does..., shipping all packets on dvd by default.. | 12:15 |
| Fudge | McEE: that's great at time of release but easily depricated as time goes on. taking longer to load your live image for obselete packages | 12:15 |
| MonkeyDust | Fudge i guess 'performance' mode can handle that ... the indicator also lets me switch between different GHz | 12:16 |
| Fudge | thanks MonkeyDust | 12:16 |
| Fudge | this is like using a system with no cache, i have to track down what it is | 12:17 |
| MonkeyDust | Fudge hint: use psensor to monitor your cpu temperature | 12:19 |
| Fudge | CPU Temperature: +41.0°C (high = +60.0°C, crit = +95.0°C) | 12:19 |
| MonkeyDust | Fudge that better than here | 12:20 |

| k1l | are we done with "suse is the best OS in the world"? | 12:33 |
| k1l | Dirkos: still the nvidia website driver? | 12:33 |
| Dirkos | no | 12:34 |
| Dirkos | also with the nvidia current | 12:34 |
| k1l | Dirkos: yes, 346 is the latest is see in the ubuntu repos | 12:34 |
| Dirkos | and nvidia 346 | 12:34 |
| Dirkos | well the 352 is on the nvidia website which seems to be newer | 12:34 |
| k1l | Dirkos: then please dont mix that. did you remove the bad nvidia website driver properly before installing the official ubuntu one? | 12:35 |
| Dirkos | but im a bit lost now tbh | 12:35 |
| k1l | Dirkos: yeah, the latest is not the best. especially if it doesnt work | 12:35 |
| Dirkos | yeah well lets try it again, i removed the old one (uninstall) | 12:35 |
| Dirkos | which one is suggested? Current or 346? | 12:35 |
| ioria | ubuntu-drivers list | 12:36 |
| k1l | 346 should be fine from the repo | 12:37 |

| k1l | Dirkos: gnome-fallback is not a proper 3d desktop. dont call it gnome since that is confusing it with gneom-shell | 12:41 |

| k1l | you can boot into gnome-fallback if that is more convenient for you. and get that logs to a pastebin from there. | 12:42 |

| k1l | is it a hybrid card? Dirkos_ | 12:50 |

| Dirkos_ | nvidia quadro k2200 4gb | 12:51 |
| k1l | christiansl2: running the regular updates will bring you to .3 its more like a "servicepack" stage. | 12:51 |
| Dirkos_ | how can i determine if its hybrid? Its a normal PCE card if im correct | 12:51 |
| k1l | christiansl2: can you show the command and the errors in a pastebin? | 12:51 |
| k1l | Dirkos_: ok, so no nvidia-prime technology | 12:51 |
| Dirkos_ | no not as i know, just a random PCE card | 12:52 |

| Dirkos_ | and same happens on guest | 12:56 |
| ds_solanki | :) | 12:57 |
| christiansl2 | k1l: maybe there is no upgrade path atm from vivid as 14.04.3 is scheduled for august? | 12:58 |
| ds_solanki | O:-) | 12:59 |
| k1l | Dirkos_: the k2200 is supported since the 340.32 kernel. so that should not be an issue on that side. | 12:59 |
| k1l | Dirkos_: can you look into ".xsession-errors" in the users home? | 12:59 |
| k1l | Dirkos_: need to leave now for a bit. so maybe other can help with spotting the error. i guess the .xsession-errors should show something | 13:00 |
| k1l | christiansl2: would be worth a bug report. | 13:00 |

| easyOnMe | daftykins: yeah | 13:48 |
| easyOnMe | thanks | 13:48 |
| easyOnMe | daftykins: just want to ask how do I know the password of the root user in my ubuntu laptop secondly how do I know whether a particular user belongs to the group sudoer | 13:49 |
| daftykins | !root | 13:49 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 13:49 |
| daftykins | never set a root password. | 13:49 |
| daftykins | running "groups" or "id user" would show whether a given user is permitted to use sudo or not | 13:49 |
| IAmAnOwl | Hey guys, quick question | 13:50 |
| IAmAnOwl | I’m want to install Ubuntu on an SSD which previously boots Windows8.1. I want to erase that and just install ubuntu. | 13:50 |
| MonkeyDust | G0 in a terminal, type this and follow instructions: srm | 13:51 |
| IAmAnOwl | However, when I tried to do that, a warning message came up: /dev/sda contains got signatures, indicating that it has a get table. However, it does not have a valid fake mdse. partition table, as it should. Perhaps it was corrupted - possibly by a program that doesn’t understand GPT partition tables. Or perhaps you deleted the GPT table, and are no | 13:51 |
| IAmAnOwl | w using an mdse. partition table. Is this a GPT partition table? | 13:51 |
| IAmAnOwl | What should I do? | 13:51 |
| IAmAnOwl | Click Yes or No? | 13:51 |
| daftykins | IAmAnOwl: "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=2M count=50" | 13:51 |
| daftykins | run that, reboot, install. | 13:51 |
| MonkeyDust | G0 keep it in the channel please | 13:52 |
| IAmAnOwl | daftykins However, i have yet to install ubuntu | 13:52 |
| IAmAnOwl | how can i run the command? | 13:52 |
| daftykins | IAmAnOwl: yeah so run this from the live session. | 13:52 |
| IAmAnOwl | ah ok | 13:52 |
| daftykins | you have to boot media to install. | 13:52 |
| IAmAnOwl | what does that command do? | 13:52 |
| daftykins | writes zeroes to the first 100MB of the disk | 13:53 |
| daftykins | nuking it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure. | 13:53 |
| IAmAnOwl | why does it need to write zeroes? | 13:53 |
| daftykins | it doesn't, it could write disney lyrics if you really want | 13:53 |
| G0 | I think it'nt a good idea | 13:53 |
| daftykins | this is just the simplest practical application. | 13:53 |
| G0 | It's better write with randomic bytes | 13:54 |
| daftykins | G0: totally stupid and won't work on an SSD unless you fully fill it over anyway. | 13:54 |
| daftykins | we're not achieving data security here, we're nuking the partition table to clean install | 13:54 |
| IAmAnOwl | daftykins what's the reason that caused ubuntu to give this warning message? I've installed it a couple of times but I've never got that warning before | 13:54 |
| daftykins | IAmAnOwl: the partition table was left over from Windows, it's not too keen about that. | 13:55 |
| daftykins | just do the above and all will be well | 13:55 |
| daftykins | you could've been done by now | 13:55 |
| daftykins | :) | 13:55 |
| easyOnMe | daftykins: wow thanks for the info all along I have been dying to reset root password | 13:55 |
| easyOnMe | lol | 13:55 |
| IAmAnOwl | daftykins Alrighty. Thanks! | 13:55 |
| daftykins | easyOnMe: running "sudo -i" and entering your password will switch to root@ if you've been getting tired of typing 'sudo' repeatedly. bear in mind that you're more likely to break things if you do though | 13:55 |
| daftykins | !pm | G0 Bad netiquette | 13:56 |
| ubottu | G0 Bad netiquette: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. | 13:56 |
| easyOnMe | daftykins: ok thanks but I think I'd rather follow the advice of typing sudo to prevent messing up my linux I had my fair share of reinstalling ubuntu and go through the arduous process of reconfiguring things in the laptop because of my noob mistake I did last December | 13:58 |
| daftykins | easyOnMe: wise decision | 13:58 |

| IAmAnOwl | daftykins Can I just format the whole ssd from the live ssd? When I tried to do that, I was given a choice of FAT, NTFS or Ext4. Which one should I choose if I want to format the whole disk? | 14:00 |
| daftykins | IAmAnOwl: bad idea. | 14:00 |
| IAmAnOwl | I mean live ubuntu not live ssd | 14:00 |
| daftykins | just do what i said | 14:00 |
| IAmAnOwl | reason? | 14:00 |
| daftykins | you don't want to unnecessarily waste writes to an SSD | 14:00 |
| daftykins | read up on how they work for a why. | 14:01 |
| IAmAnOwl | ah i see. I know the reason | 14:01 |
| IAmAnOwl | However, how does writing 100mb to the disk change how ubuntu will install? | 14:01 |
| IAmAnOwl | or more specifically what does writing 100mb does specifically? | 14:01 |
| daftykins | IAmAnOwl: i already said, it deletes all traces of the partition table | 14:02 |

| ivank | is java 8 ever going to be supported on 14.04 LTS? | 14:27 |
| === xubuntu is now known as Guest98633 | ||
| daftykins | ivank: already is, no? you have to get it from oracle | 14:28 |
| ivank | daftykins: i mean in terms of there being debs available in the official repo | 14:29 |
| daftykins | well it's not open source so no, never. | 14:29 |
| zykotick9 | ivank: oracle prevents anyone from distributing java except themselves | 14:29 |
| daftykins | that's basically like asking if Windows is in the repos :D | 14:30 |
| ivank | ok, let me more specific then. will there ever be a openjdk-8-jre package for 14.04? | 14:31 |
| daftykins | i doubt oracle will package one, they've got an installer package | 14:32 |
| daftykins | just use that | 14:32 |
| daftykins | i don't see the problem.... | 14:32 |
| ivank | the problem is that if you want to distribute a package for ubuntu 14.04 that depends on java8, it's not possible. and businesses often only use 14.04 on servers, since it's LTS | 14:34 |
| === iNFeCTeD is now known as PAiN | ||
| daftykins | ivank: yeah, so i guess don't develope for oracle java... or make an install script. | 14:38 |

| Guest9212 | yeah thats true but I kinda just went with the first one I found | 15:05 |
| giray | i have a question people | 15:05 |
| daftykins | giray: how many guesses do we get? | 15:05 |
| giray | i am trying to install ubuntu | 15:05 |
| cfhowlett | Guest9212, "everyone" = over 1000 people in this channel. we really don't need 1000 responses to your question when you already have an answer, right? | 15:05 |
| daftykins | right... | 15:05 |
| Guest9212 | what os are you one right now? | 15:05 |
| giray | and as a disk i have only 1 ssd that is 120 gbs | 15:05 |
| giray | windows 7 | 15:05 |
| Geogts | OerHeks: can i just delete the file from the sources.list.d folder or is there a different way i need to remove them? | 15:06 |
| Guest9212 | cfhowlett, thats pretty true | 15:06 |
| cfhowlett | giray, more than enough space. do you want to keep win7? | 15:06 |
| daftykins | giray: use win7 to resize your install 20GB less, then install ubuntu beside perhaps. | 15:06 |
| OerHeks | Geogts, use ppa purge | 15:06 |
| OerHeks | !ppapurge | 15:06 |
| ubottu | To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 15:06 |
| giray | but i have already 90 gbs filled | 15:06 |
| Guest9212 | yeah giray you need like 6 GB for ubuntu | 15:06 |
| cfhowlett | giray, 100 for win7, the rest for ubuntu then. | 15:07 |
| giray | but the disk isnt partitioned | 15:07 |
| Guest9212 | you will want more for software but just os is 6GB | 15:07 |
| giray | there is only c volume | 15:07 |
| giray | does that make a problem | 15:07 |
| cfhowlett | !dualboot | giray, ubuntu should offer to partition for you. | 15:07 |
| ubottu | giray, ubuntu should offer to partition for you.: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 15:07 |
| Guest9212 | nope just partition it in windows | 15:07 |
| Guest9212 | you will also most likely be asked if you want to install next to windows in ubuntu anyways | 15:08 |
| OerHeks | leave the space empty, don't follow the suggestion of Guest9212 to let windows do partitioning, as it cannot handle ext4 | 15:08 |
| daftykins | OerHeks: +1 | 15:08 |
| daftykins | Guest9212: please don't give bad advice. | 15:08 |
| cfhowlett | giray, the dualboot factoid explains exactly what you need to do. I strongly suggest you read it. | 15:08 |
| Guest9212 | I dont mean FORMATTING I mean partitioning | 15:09 |
| daftykins | Guest9212: still unwise. | 15:09 |
| Guest9212 | why? | 15:09 |
| Guest9212 | it just shrinks the disk space | 15:09 |
| giray | cfhowlett thx readin right now | 15:09 |
| Guest9212 | and thats weird that it does not handle ext4 | 15:10 |
| cfhowlett | Guest9212, it's windows. no reason why it should be expected to handle anything not from microsoft. | 15:10 |
| tgm4883 | cfhowlett: daftykins why it is bad to let windows handle partition resizing of a NTFS partition? | 15:13 |
| cfhowlett | tgm4883, ntfs partitions sure. ext* no. | 15:14 |
| tgm4883 | cfhowlett: we aren't talking about ext partitions though | 15:14 |
| daftykins | tgm4883: i never claimed it was, this guest is confused. | 15:14 |

| daftykins | Riviera: sure, or just download memtest86+ | 16:28 |
| daftykins | that has a bootable ISO too. | 16:28 |
| cfhowlett | Riviera, or use utility in bios | 16:29 |

| polpo | actually no, I wa not aware of that | 16:29 |

| daftykins | cool :) | 16:35 |
| polpo | daftykins: guest works fine. I feel a bit confused =D | 16:36 |
| daftykins | polpo: ok some config in your user account has killed it by the sounds | 16:36 |
| daftykins | polpo: two choices: either look up where KDE stores its' configs and rename those folders to give you a blank slate, or do the shotgun approach of resetting everything via "mv ~/.config ~/.configold" | 16:37 |
| daftykins | the above will hide your configs - you can just copy individual programs back from .configold -> .config to get them back | 16:38 |

| Bombo | OerHeks: is it safe to do-release-upgrade from 14.04.2 to 15.02? | 16:52 |
| Bombo | 'does it work' ;) | 16:52 |
| Pici | Bombo: you'd need to go through 14.10 first. | 16:52 |
| Bombo | Pici: how? | 16:52 |
| Pici | Bombo: do-release-upgrade can bring you to the next version, or if you are on an LTS, to the next LTS if available. | 16:53 |
| Pici | You cannot skip releases otherwise. | 16:53 |
| Bombo | Pici: using Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS right now | 16:54 |
| MonkeyDust | Bombo my advice is to stick to 14.04 | 16:54 |
| Bombo | MonkeyDust: the systemd/lxc bug could be fixed in 15.02 | 16:55 |
| Pici | Bombo: your current release will be supported until 2019. 15.04 is only supported until mid 2016. | 16:55 |
| Amoz | Bombo, you have two options. Either upgrade to 14.10 and then 15.04, or reinstall 15.04 directly. | 16:55 |
| x23 | i can't use my usb, don't have partition table and i can't create it | 16:56 |
| Pici | Bombo: you are free to upgrade, but you need to keep in mind that your release will only have 9 months of support (from april 2015) | 16:56 |
| Bombo | Pici: can't i upgrade to the next version when support ends for 15.04? | 16:56 |
| Pici | Bombo: sure. Some people don't like having to upgrade every time a release comes out though. Businesses certainly can't deal with having to schedule OS upgrades that frequently. | 16:57 |
| x23 | somebody? | 16:57 |
| Bombo | will the support fix the systemd+lxc bug that is (probably) fixed in 15.04? hmm maybe 14.12 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1346734 | 16:58 |

| Pici | Bombo: what do you mean? | 16:58 |
| MonkeyDust | Bombo there's no such thing as 15.02 or 14.12 ... it's 15.04 or 14.10 | 16:59 |
| Bombo | Pici: i got this problem, lxc doesn't work, maybe because of systemd | 16:59 |
| Bombo | MonkeyDust: i just read it there under 'milestone' Ubuntu ubuntu-14.12 | 17:00 |
| Bombo | this are the commands i use on 14.04.2: 'lxc-create -n jess32 -t debian -- --arch i386' then to start it 'lxc-start -n jess32' error i get is this: 'Failed to mount cgroup at /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd: Permission denied' | 17:02 |

| artois | jayjo: https://www.google.com/search?q=linux%20command%20log%20to%20file | 18:03 |
| jayjo | I know to output the command to a file, but I thought I could output from STOUT to a file | 18:03 |
| jayjo | like change one setting | 18:03 |
| glassdolphin | hi | 18:04 |
| EriC^^ | jayjo: not sure what you mean. | 18:04 |
| artois | heyo | 18:04 |
| glassdolphin | anybody use ubuntu studio | 18:04 |
| EriC^^ | *... | 18:04 |
| artois | jayjo: > | 18:04 |
| artois | doesn't make much sense to implement redirection in cron | 18:05 |
| artois | it's already done by your shell | 18:05 |
| didar | jayjo, there is MAILTO= that you can use | 18:05 |
| didar | but it just emails the output | 18:06 |
| didar | ...to the user | 18:06 |
| daftykins | artois: though it's often tempting, giving people search engine results isn't quite the intended purpose of this channel - so just hold back if you see something that seems to not have been searched for :) | 18:06 |
| artois | daftykins: suck an egg | 18:07 |
| ikonia | artois: tone it down please | 18:07 |
| artois | ikonia: talk to daftykins | 18:07 |
| ikonia | the purpose of the channel is to help - not tell people to google | 18:07 |
| artois | didn't tell anyone to google | 18:07 |
| daftykins | artois: i worded it politely, now follow the rules please. | 18:07 |
| ikonia | artois: you posted a google search, | 18:07 |
| artois | daftykins: I worded it politely, too; it's an old saying | 18:07 |
| artois | ikonia: yup, I was there I remember | 18:08 |
| daftykins | that is not the expected behaviour for an adult in here. | 18:08 |
| artois | what isn't?... | 18:08 |
| ikonia | artois: don't be smart, I'm just asking you to "please" try to actually help rather than post google searches, | 18:08 |
| ikonia | I sugges the topic is dropped now | 18:08 |
| didar | jayjo, seems like if cron produces any output then default behaviour is to email it to the user *or* to the user mentioned by MAILTO (like MAILTO=root@localhost) | 18:08 |
| artois | adults can't find other adults to be wasting their breath? | 18:08 |
| * artois shrugs | 18:08 | |
| artois | ikonia: I don't see anyone else "helping" him | 18:08 |
| dearn | Whats the name of ncurse program that starts in recovery mode? (menu with grub and check filesystem etc) ? | 18:08 |
| artois | moreover, I also "helped" him without a URI | 18:09 |
| artois | so what you're on about is frankly confounding, but whatever | 18:09 |
| ikonia | artois: drop it - help or be quiet | 18:09 |
| artois | happily | 18:09 |
| artois | I'll keep helping =) | 18:09 |
| artois | dearn: dialog? | 18:09 |
| dearn | artois: yeah yeah but exactly that program | 18:10 |
| artois | dearn: you can probably change vt and find it from the processes running | 18:10 |
| daftykins | there aren't any until a choice is made probably | 18:11 |
| artois | any what? | 18:11 |
| daftykins | functional TTYs | 18:12 |
| artois | so pointless conjectural second guessing is cool but linking to instructions _and_ also explaining in addition to that isn't? =P | 18:13 |
| * artois rolls eyes | 18:13 | |
| daftykins | being a drama queen isn't helping anyone. | 18:13 |
| artois | no kidding | 18:13 |
| daftykins | all of your responses are guesses. | 18:13 |
| bratchley | OK I'm trying to use Ubuntu for the first time and I accidentally installed 14.04.2 LTS, is there an easy way to get to 15.04? | 18:15 |
| ioria | /lib/recovery-mode ? | 18:15 |
| tgm4883 | bratchley: 14.04 is a good choice | 18:15 |
| daftykins | bratchley: nothing wrong with running long term support (LTS) | 18:15 |
| MonkeyDust | bratchley 14.04 is good | 18:15 |
| tgm4883 | so good job :) | 18:15 |
| bratchley | wasn't 14.10 EOL'd ? | 18:15 |
| dearn | ioria: thanks man! thats it | 18:15 |
| MonkeyDust | bratchley well done | 18:15 |
| ioria | ok | 18:15 |
| artois | bratchley: the shortest duration solution to that would probably be just an ordinary install, if you've nothing on the system yet | 18:15 |
| === abigail is now known as Guest17806 | ||
| tgm4883 | bratchley: yes, but 14.04 is LTS (Long Term Support) for 5 years | 18:16 |
| MonkeyDust | bratchley 14.04 is longer supported than 14.10, it's called LTS, mong term support ... every even year, in april | 18:17 |
| MonkeyDust | long* | 18:17 |
| bratchley | what happens in April? | 18:17 |
| MonkeyDust | bratchley new LTS | 18:18 |
| daftykins | 14.10 is already dead :) | 18:18 |
| tgm4883 | bratchley: so you can stick with 14.04 and be supported until 2019, or you can install 15.04 and be supported until Jan 2016, then upgrade to 15.10 and be supported until July 2016, then upgrade to 16.04 (which happens to be another LTS) | 18:18 |
| ikonia | is anyone doing the Sat 6.1 beta ? | 18:18 |
| ikonia | oops | 18:18 |
| ikonia | wrong channel | 18:18 |
| bratchley | is there something I can read that explains the Ubuntu release cycle? | 18:18 |
| bratchley | ikonia: fwiw I have a sat 6 running | 18:19 |
| artois | bratchley: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29#Releases | 18:19 |
| tgm4883 | bratchley: there's a really good graphic of it that I can't find right now | 18:19 |
| tgm4883 | bratchley: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS I like this graphic | 18:20 |
| bratchley | ah OK so x.04 will always be the LTS version | 18:20 |
| bratchley | tgm4883: ty | 18:20 |
| MonkeyDust | bratchley no, only in the even years | 18:20 |
| tgm4883 | bratchley: yw | 18:20 |
| BotchlaB | tgm4883: Isn't 14.04 till 2017? | 18:20 |
| artois | 2019 I think | 18:21 |
| MonkeyDust | bratchley https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29#Releases | 18:21 |
| artois | as it says on the link I gave, anyway =) | 18:21 |
| tgm4883 | BotchlaB: 5 years of support. 2014 plus 5 years is 2019 | 18:21 |
| artois | and also tgm4883's | 18:21 |
| BotchlaB | tgm4883: Oh, I see. | 18:21 |
| tgm4883 | artois: yea I saw your link first (and MonkeyDust) but I think the graphic on the LTS page explains it better than a table | 18:22 |
| tgm4883 | BotchlaB: 12.04 however is supported until 2017 | 18:22 |
| BotchlaB | tgm4883: Maybe that was my confusion. :P | 18:22 |
| artois | tgm4883: sorry meant to direct those at him not you | 18:22 |
| artois | your graphic is nice | 18:22 |
| bratchley | Does Ubuntu support FreeIPA? At least at the level of a client? | 18:22 |
| tgm4883 | artois: Well not my graphic, but I like it so much I did decide to rip it off and use it for Mythbuntu http://www.mythbuntu.org/repos | 18:23 |
| artois | yes, of course... | 18:23 |
| artois | unquestionable specificity of language can be so tiresome... | 18:23 |
| tgm4883 | it's just so concise in how it explains diffferent levels of supported | 18:23 |
| artois | bratchley: it's in universe | 18:23 |
| bratchley | is "universe" the name of the main Ubuntu repos? | 18:24 |
| tgm4883 | bratchley: it's one of them. However it depends on what you mean by support | 18:24 |
| artois | if it's in universe, it's supported | 18:25 |
| bratchley | as in I can configure SSSD+IPA specific stuff like HBAC | 18:25 |
| tgm4883 | bratchley: we can get into the technical details of that if you want, but suffice to say that it's in the repos so you should be able to install it and use it | 18:25 |
| bratchley | ok | 18:25 |
| Bashing-om | bratchley: An explanation of ubuntu's repository : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu . | 18:26 |
| tgm4883 | artois: no, it depends on what he means by support. For instance, if he has a support contract with Canonical, he cannot call up and get help with stuff in Universe | 18:26 |
| tgm4883 | artois: however here, we will support it :) | 18:26 |
| artois | if he had that kind of support contract, wouldn't he have called them to ask that question, though? =) | 18:26 |
| jayjo | on my production box I have 8 cron jobs going. It looks like when I do >> or 2>&1 it looks like it doesn't append. Is there a flag to pass in to append? | 18:26 |
| artois | jayjo: >> will append, or | tee -a | 18:27 |
| tgm4883 | artois: god I hope not. When I worked support I hated it when people would call me up for easy questions like that | 18:27 |
| jayjo | artois: thank you | 18:27 |
| artois | tgm4883: ahah, but were there questions you actually like? heheh | 18:27 |
| artois | jayjo: sometimes it can help to have cron call a script, rather than trying to cram the entire script into the crontab | 18:27 |
| tgm4883 | artois: also, this was likely quicker, and also I'm not sure if people under contract have a limited amount of support interactions with canonical | 18:28 |
| artois | s/sometimes/most of the time/ :p | 18:28 |
| artois | tgm4883: that'd be annoying, heh | 18:28 |
| tgm4883 | artois: yes, anything that was challenging, but that is a conversation for a different channel | 18:28 |

| artois | I wouldn't know, never paid for support | 18:29 |
| tgm4883 | artois: you aren't a big enough business to need it | 18:30 |

| proq` | I have been unable to boot ubuntu from USB stick. I installed wubi but it says there are too many partitions and cannot proceed, but I can now see the USB stick. how do I start the ubuntu installer from the usb stick? | 19:58 |
| xangua | !wubi | proq` | 19:59 |
| ubottu | proq`: Wubi was a way to install Ubuntu from within Windows, but it is no longer supported in recent versions of Ubuntu and was never well maintained even for Ubuntu 12.04. Do not use Wubi. See !install for other options for installing Ubuntu. | 19:59 |
| wileee | proq`, Sounds like you tried to partition wubi, it was when supported just a file in windows. | 20:00 |
| proq` | xangua: I am booted into ubuntu via wubi. I cannot boot from the USB stick with ubuntu. my only hope to installing ubuntu right now is to launch the installer | 20:00 |
| proq` | xangua: which I can *see* on the mounted usb stick now | 20:01 |
| daftykins | sorry, we don't advise touching WUBI ever | 20:01 |
| proq` | wubi may suck and by unsupported, but I'm now booted into ubuntu | 20:01 |
| brothersome | proq`, You need to install the grub2 bootloader on a USB stick - pretty hard | 20:01 |
| OerHeks | why can you boot from usb? | 20:01 |
| === zz_Thelks is now known as Thelks | ||

| J4 | come on now wubi is the bees knees | 20:02 |
| wileee | proq`, You're in the right place for help, I would avoid making statements that works against this. ;) | 20:03 |
| OerHeks | UEFI ? | 20:03 |
| xangua | doesn't want or can't proq` ? how old is this "netbook" ¿ | 20:03 |
| proq` | it's an acer aspire one D270 | 20:04 |
| OerHeks | that was my 2nd thought, how old netbook/cpu/pae-story | 20:04 |
| wileee | proq`, I have a d250, it will work, that is msdos | 20:04 |
| wileee | pae friendly | 20:04 |
| proq` | I have a D255 and it boots from the USB stick but this D270 won't | 20:04 |
| TJ- | proq`: Does the D270's boot manager menu list the USB device ? | 20:05 |
| proq` | yes, it lists the USB Flash device | 20:05 |
| proq` | and it's at the top of boot priority | 20:05 |
| === CripperZ-brb is now known as CripperZ | ||
| wileee | proq`I believe f11 is the per session boot | 20:06 |
| proq` | on this machine it's F12 but that doesn't make it boot | 20:06 |
| TJ- | proq`: and what happens ... does the BIOS report "No operating system", does it return control to you, or do you get a flashing cursor top-left | 20:06 |
| proq` | it just pauses for a few seconds then boots windows 7 | 20:07 |
| OerHeks | Intel Atom N2600 "Cedar Trail" - GMA 3600 | 20:07 |
| brothersome | proq` So it has no bootflag or bootloader | 20:07 |
| TJ- | proq`: OK ... some BIOS are really picky over how the partition table is configured. Is the ISO image on the USB, the Desktop Live image? | 20:08 |
| TJ- | proq`: have you tested the USB by booting another PC, if one is available, so we can rule out a bad image on it? | 20:09 |
| proq` | TJ-: it's the ubuntu 15.04 desktop ARM64 image written to USB disk. I've done this about 20 times and it works on many machines, but not this one | 20:09 |
| TJ- | proq`: Do you mean AMD64 ? :D | 20:09 |
| proq` | TJ-: yes, I used it two days ago on a lenovo S21e and it worked | 20:09 |
| proq` | yes, amd64... blah | 20:09 |
| wileee | that is a 32 not 64 I would think | 20:09 |
| TJ- | proq`: OK ... so you're currently booted into Ubuntu and have the USB connected | 20:09 |
| proq` | yes | 20:10 |
| TJ- | proq`: do you know which device the USB is, as in /dev/sdb ? | 20:10 |
| proq` | /dev/sdb, yes | 20:10 |
| brothersome | proq` : Perhaps it is the bootloader, I installed the SysLinux bootloader and that worked for my machine (Only USB no harddisk) | 20:10 |
| TJ- | proq`: Can you do "pastebinit <( sudo dd if=/dev/sdb count=1 bs=512 | hexdump -C)" ? | 20:10 |
| wileee | proq`, This your computer, acer-aspire-one-d270-1375-10-1-atom-n2600-windows-7-starter-32-bit-1-gb-ram-320-gb-hdd | 20:11 |
| proq` | it is a 64-bit processor | 20:11 |
| TJ- | proq`: There are several 'modes' a BIOS can boot from USB ... mass storage block device (aka hard disk), Floppy disk emulation, and CD-ROM emulation. I've seen some BIOS cause issues like this due to reading the USB incorrectly | 20:11 |
| wileee | proq`, Hope your sure, I do have a toshiba listed as 32 but a 64 so possible. | 20:12 |
| proq` | wileee: http://cpuboss.com/cpu/Intel-Atom-N2600 -> Details -> Architecture: x86-64 | 20:12 |

| TJ- | proq`: can you pastebinit as per the command so we can see it | 20:16 |
| proq` | daftykins: odious -> detestable ;) | 20:16 |
| proq` | TJ-: I can't as it's booted into an ubuntu console and I don't know how to POST that to any pastebin | 20:19 |
| TJ- | proq`: use the command as I gave it, it posts it automatically and tells you the URL | 20:19 |
| TJ- | proq`: do "pastebinit <( sudo dd if=/dev/sdb count=1 bs=512 | hexdump -C)" ? | 20:20 |

| bprompt | Nectar_: get rid of the theme :), or try to install the conky version is meant for | 20:28 |

| === Blaster is now known as Guest94952 | ||
| artois | I like both of those responses | 20:58 |
| treybul | well - I want to place different windows in a single window | 20:59 |
| artois | treybul: that doesn't clarify much, IMO =) | 20:59 |
| treybul | the purpose of this is to use google hangouts to display contents of one window rather than my whole monitor. | 20:59 |
| artois | you want to stream part of your screen? | 20:59 |
| Gerowen | treybul: Just take the naked girl off your wallpaper and you won't have to worry about hiding the rest of your monitor from the hangout, :P | 21:00 |
| treybul | for example, if i have chrome open, and i have terminal open >> i want both windows to be within a single window (that has max,min etc) | 21:00 |
| kualala | ok | 21:01 |
| treybul | i can then select that window when using hangouts. it will also display better because you dont have the extra fluff around the monitor | 21:01 |
| bprompt | treybul: so..... use a workspace then :) | 21:02 |
| Gerowen | treybul: On a serious note, you can use things like Xephyr to create a separate display session within a window. Found this with Google: http://jeffskinnerbox.me/posts/2014/Apr/29/howto-using-xephyr-to-create-a-new-display-in-a-window/ | 21:02 |
| bprompt | that's more or less what workspaces are for | 21:02 |
| treybul | with hangouts screenshare you have option to either select whole monitor, which isn't that great if the guy you're sharing with has crappy resolution | 21:02 |

| Gerowen | treybul: No problem. I've done this before to test things out, log into another user account without leaving mine, etc. It basically puts an entire desktop session, and therefore all of its running applications, inside its own window. You can of course log into your own username in this nested session and have access to all of your personal documents, applications, etc. | 21:05 |

| === corey84__ is now known as Corey84 | ||
| adrian_1908 | hello. I have installed Apache2 for local (offline) development and would like it to not start automatically. How would I do this? (I saw online tutorials, but they might be outdated regarding systemd and such) | 21:39 |
| daftykins | j3r0: 'multiple links' ? as in several domains? like website.com, website.net ? | 21:39 |
| j3r0 | yes | 21:41 |
| start | Any HTML5 browser for ubuntu? | 21:42 |
| j3r0 | I don't want to spam but an other question I have is I want to give access to the server to some people. What I have to watch out and secure it as much as I can ? I just read the ubuntu server manual ? or there are better resources ? | 21:42 |
| start | j3r0 | 21:43 |
| start | you can trust no-one | 21:43 |
| start | make diffrent accounts | 21:43 |
| j3r0 | start that's the best advice ever(for trust no-one). So is that simple ? I just create users and give them ssh privileges ? | 21:45 |
| Gerowen | j3r0: You create users, and add them to the SSH config (/etc/ssh/sshd_config I think it is). You can either add users explicitly there, or you can create a group, add them to the group, then specify the group in the SSH config. | 21:46 |
| Gerowen | j3r0: More info here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Configuring | 21:47 |
| === zen is now known as Guest36722 | ||
| === EriC^ is now known as EriC^^ | ||
| j3r0 | thank you | 21:48 |
| Gerowen | j3r0: Just know that this does not necessarily affect their ability to access other services such as regular FTP, HTTP web services, etc., you have to lock each of those down with their own configuration stuff. | 21:48 |
| Gerowen | j3r0: Np, :-) | 21:48 |
| j3r0 | I see | 21:48 |
| j3r0 | if I want to do this for many users it's better to write a script ? is that even possible ? | 21:49 |
| Gerowen | j3r0: If you have several users you want to have the same access privileges, it's easier to create a group, add those users to that group, then specify the group in the SSH config file, and then you can add/remove people from the group as necessary without messing with the SSH config every single time. It will also keep the end of the SSH config from being a mile long list of usernames. | 21:50 |
| Gerowen | j3r0: You can also use that group in other places too if you want, such as granting all of those same users access to other services like HTTP, print services, etc. | 21:51 |
| Gerowen | j3r0: At least in my opinion. You can certainly add each individual user to the ssh config and that'll work just fine. | 21:51 |
| j3r0 | it will be guys all over the internet that I don't know. Plus that I am total noob with servers & linux | 21:53 |
| j3r0 | also in this server I want to have my personal site | 21:53 |
| bekks | j3r0: Then you should not do it. | 21:54 |
| Gerowen | j3r0: Like let's say you're a teacher, and you're setting up a fake server, and you want all the kids in your class to be able to access SSH and FTP. You can create a group say called, "Linux Class", and add that group to the FTP and SSH permissions separately. Then let's say a person drops out of your class. All you have to do is remove that person's user account from the group and they automatically lose access to all services the group was added t | 21:54 |
| Gerowen | o, so you don't have to manually edit the config files for every single service you have running to remove that user, hoping you don't forget one. | 21:54 |
| muculus | I have 3 virtual network interfaces, eth0:1 eth0:2 eth0:3, how can I force debian to use them round-robin for default route? | 21:54 |
| bekks | muculus: Those are IP aliases, not interfaces. They use the same gateway, and they are using the same single eth0 adapter. | 21:55 |
| bekks | muculus: And that applies to debian too. This is Ubuntu support ;) | 21:55 |
| danportin | I'm trying to connect to my computer from an external network using SSH, but I'm having trouble defining the correct iptables rules. I have a port (say xxxx) forwarded from my router. Do I just need to accept input/output on that port over tcp? | 21:57 |
| adrian_1908 | I was able to stop apache2 from autostarting with `systemctl disable apache2.service`. Starting it manually appears to work fine as before. | 21:57 |
| muculus | bekks: all of this virtual interfaces have public IP address. | 21:57 |
| bekks | muculus: hats what IP aliases are for. | 21:58 |
| bekks | *what | 21:58 |
| Gerowen | danportin: The firewall of the destination computer (the one you're trying to log into) must have the appropriate SSH port opened. If it has a GUI, GUFW is an easy to use firewall modification tool. | 21:58 |
| Gerowen | danportin: The router can forward traffic all day long, but the computer also has to have the port the traffic is being sent to opened. | 21:59 |
| muculus | bekks: what do you mean? | 21:59 |
| bekks | muculus: IP aliases are for creating different IP addresses on the same physical interface. | 22:00 |
| danportin | Gerowen: Yeah, I'm trying to set up iptables for SSH on the destination computer. Thanks for recommending GUFW though, I'll give it a shot. | 22:00 |
| deliad | hi my usb soundcard is recongnized but cant select it in alsa | 22:01 |
| deliad | how i can solve it | 22:01 |
| deliad | ? | 22:01 |
| tonyyarusso | bekks: They're called "virtual interfaces", not "IP aliases", and they don't need to use the same gateway. | 22:02 |
| Gerowen | deliad: Have you tried rebooting since plugging in the card? | 22:02 |
| deliad | yes | 22:03 |
| Gerowen | deliad: Does it appear at all in the Ubuntu sound settings under the "output" tab? | 22:03 |
| deliad | it seems that jackd uses the card if i run it but alsa not | 22:03 |
| deliad | no | 22:03 |
| deliad | this is my cat /proc/asound/cards | 22:04 |
| tonyyarusso | muculus: You want to do what's called "bonding" or "link aggregation", and set the algorithm to round robin. | 22:04 |
| muculus | bekks: I want to , first time when I run : 'wget http://whatismijnip.nl' it should returns first ip address, second time it should return eth0:2 ip address, and so... | 22:04 |
| muculus | tonyyarusso: I know bonding, but I don't know is it possible for virtual network interfaces or not. I couldn't find any documentation this way. | 22:05 |
| tonyyarusso | muculus: I think it would be the same for virtual ints as anything else. Might be wrong, but try it :) | 22:06 |
| tonyyarusso | Virtual interfaces don't seem to be very common - I've only encountered them on VMs on Xen. | 22:07 |
| meatie | muculus, you can do that with a simple perl script. | 22:08 |
| tonyyarusso | muculus: Depending on exactly what you need, you might be able to get away with just creating two A records in DNS as well. | 22:09 |
| Gerowen | Well everybody I'm out for a little while, I need to go out to the building and do some painting on my truck. If deliad returns he said he needs help with getting a USB sound card to work. My wifi doesn't work in the shed out back. You all have a good evening. | 22:10 |
| * Gerowen is away: I'm busy | 22:10 | |
| muculus | tonyyarusso: I don't know how Dns can help? | 22:11 |
| meatie | virtual interfaces will work with bonding. | 22:11 |
| tonyyarusso | muculus: Your users will randomly get one record or the other to use, so roughly half of your users will use one IP and the other half the other IP. | 22:12 |
| muculus | meatie: Are you sure? I can't find any documentation about it, even one! :) | 22:13 |
| tonyyarusso | muculus: It doesn't help if you need an individual user's traffic to get split though, and there are various other caveats. It's a poor man's solution, but sometimes handy. | 22:13 |
| muculus | tonyyarusso: DNS doesn't solve my situation. :( | 22:14 |
| meatie | just set the bonding options and try | 22:14 |
| meatie | and as far as getting the external IP of many interfaces... | 22:15 |
| meatie | just do.... | 22:15 |
| meatie | for i in $(/sbin/ifconfig | grep "inet addr" | grep -v "127.0.0.1" | awk -F: '{print $2}' | awk '{print $1}'); do | 22:15 |
| meatie | curl --interface $i http://ipecho.net/plain | 22:15 |
| meatie | done | 22:15 |
| meatie | maybe a more elegant solution but you get the idea. | 22:16 |
| meatie | if you are trying to balance between your three interfaces... you have better options for load-balancing. | 22:18 |
| serch | finally a luch linux mint on theese coffe maker | 22:18 |
| serch | but y can no wach a movie i put babel on dvd room and nathing happend | 22:19 |
| muculus | meatie: this script works well :) , What kind of options do you mean for load-balancing? | 22:19 |
| meatie | i don't know why he requires the 3 interfaces to be balanced | 22:20 |
| meatie | if its for webserver/websockets etc he can easily use many diff. options | 22:20 |
| meatie | haproxy comes to mind | 22:20 |
| meatie | ah i guess haproxy does handle websockets now. neat. | 22:21 |
| deliad | hi lost internet connection | 22:25 |

| cimbakahn | Hello Everyone! | 22:25 |
| deliad | /proc/asound/cards | 22:25 |
| cimbakahn | Does anyone here have Thunar File Manager on their computer? | 22:26 |
| daftykins | cimbakahn: what's the actual question? | 22:26 |
| cimbakahn | I am on Linux Mint 17 Qiana Xfce 64bit. I want to know: Can i uninstall thunar-media-tags-plugin without any problems? | 22:26 |
| cimbakahn | It reads: Media tags plugin for Thunar file manager | 22:26 |
| deliad | 0 [PCH ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH | 22:26 |
| deliad | HDA Intel PCH at 0xf7420000 irq 46 | 22:26 |
| deliad | 1 [AVB ]: USB-Audio - UltraLite AVB | 22:26 |
| deliad | MOTU UltraLite AVB at usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.3, high speed | 22:26 |
| deliad | 2 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia | 22:26 |
| deliad | HDA NVidia at 0xf5080000 irq 17 | 22:26 |
| cimbakahn | It also reads: This plugin allows tags editing from Thunar file manager and tags-based file renaming from inside Thunar Bulk Renamer | 22:26 |
| artois | it's not required | 22:27 |
| meatie | sxp you could just fork/thread your requests. | 22:27 |
| artois | no package is, in fact | 22:27 |
| cimbakahn | Because it reads: Media tags plugin for Thunar file manager Will it affect Thunar file manager negatively if removed completely? | 22:27 |
| artois | cimbakahn: probably not for you if you want to remove it | 22:27 |
| cimbakahn | ? | 22:27 |
| deliad | my usb soundcard is AVB Motu Ultralite | 22:27 |
| daftykins | !mint | cimbakahn sorry. | 22:27 |
| ubottu | cimbakahn sorry.: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 22:27 |
| deliad | can't select it in alsa mixer | 22:28 |
| deliad | what should i do? | 22:28 |
| deliad | also in pulseaudio | 22:28 |
| meatie | it's weird when people ask for help and then don't answer follow-up questions. | 22:28 |
| cimbakahn | I just did and they sent me somewhere else. I thought i would try here since Mint is made from Ubuntu. | 22:28 |
| daftykins | cimbakahn: no, you see how it's a totally different network? | 22:29 |
| daftykins | are you sure you were on spotchat? | 22:29 |
| daftykins | cimbakahn: regardless no Mint help here, sorry. | 22:29 |
| daftykins | Mint has its' own problems | 22:29 |
| cimbakahn | Ok. Thank you! | 22:29 |
| sxp | meatie: I'm not acquainted with 'fork/thread' but I'm going to search for them and how to make it work, I hope by limited background knowledge lets me get closer to a solution. | 22:30 |

| Thorax2015_ | HI all. Looking to install MATE DE on 15.04. Can anyone point me in the right direction? | 22:41 |
| wileee | Thorax2015_, In the repos as an add a de or as a release? | 22:42 |
| Thorax2015_ | Just to change the DE | 22:42 |
| Thorax2015_ | So i can switch between the two | 22:43 |
| wileee | Thorax2015_, sudo apt-get install mate | 22:43 |
| Thorax2015_ | Unity and mate | 22:43 |
| Thorax2015_ | Doesnt that install vanilla mate and not the ubuntu version? | 22:43 |
| wileee | might be mate-desktop not sure it's in the repos | 22:43 |
| Thorax2015_ | Would it be "sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-mate-dev/ppa" | 22:44 |
| wileee | Thorax2015_, If it is in the ubuntu repos, it is their approved install, there is a ubuntu mate release | 22:44 |
| wileee | Thorax2015_, ppa's are not suported here, mate is in the ubuntu repos, for the third time. | 22:44 |
| tgm4883 | !info mate-desktop-environment | 22:45 |
| ubottu | mate-desktop-environment (source: mate-desktop-environment): MATE Desktop Environment (meta package). In component universe, is optional. Version 1.8.0+9 (vivid), package size 2 kB, installed size 26 kB | 22:45 |
| tgm4883 | that's probably what he wants to installed | 22:45 |
| tgm4883 | not sure why they didn't go with the standard naming convention | 22:45 |
| wileee | I don't guess | 22:45 |
| === sxp1 is now known as sxp | ||
| d0ghst | mate-desktop-environment-extras will get everything | 22:46 |
| Thorax2015_ | Apologies, new to linux, I dont fully understand the differences between repos and ppa's and whatnot | 22:46 |
| wileee | Thorax2015_, ppa's are 3rd party repos, their all repos | 22:46 |
| Thorax2015_ | Thats what I thought | 22:47 |
| wileee | Thorax2015_, Good questions though, if you not sure, we do want you smiling. ;) | 22:47 |
| Thorax2015_ | Thank you wileee, its very much appreciated. | 22:48 |
| === asdf is now known as curious-arg | ||
| Thorax2015_ | http://wiki.mate-desktop.org/download Am i able to use the commands here for ubuntu 14.04? I am using 15.04. | 22:48 |
| d0ghst | depends on what you have installed now | 22:50 |
| Thorax2015_ | Fresh install. In fact, the only thing I have done is run the software update, restart, then install Quassel | 22:50 |
| d0ghst | but fresh install of what? | 22:51 |
| Thorax2015_ | Like i said, Ubuntu 15.04 | 22:51 |
| d0ghst | sorry, I missed that | 22:51 |
| Thorax2015_ | No worries :) | 22:51 |
| meatie | Thorax2015_, yes that should work fine with 15.04 | 22:52 |
| wileee | Thorax2015_, there is this https://ubuntu-mate.org/trusty/ | 22:52 |
| meatie | no, 15.04 is vivid. | 22:53 |
| meatie | https://ubuntu-mate.org/vivid/ | 22:53 |
| Thorax2015_ | Thanks meatie. I assume I would be better off using the second set of commands. As opposed to the ppa? | 22:54 |
| Thorax2015_ | wileee, I wanted to use 15.04 really, and I do want to be able to switch DE's | 22:54 |
| d0ghst | Thorax2015_, this gives instruction that I have used - you can skip the ubuntu install part https://ubuntu-mate.org/blog/2014-08-ubuntu-mate-14-04-from-scratch/ | 22:54 |
| meatie | either way works. | 22:54 |
| wileee | Thorax2015_, Cool, I don't think mate was in the official repos for 14.04. | 22:54 |
| sakang | IIRC quassel is a KDE apps? | 22:54 |
| Thorax2015_ | sakang: I found Quassel on the Ubuntu Software Centre | 22:55 |
| meatie | ubuntu-mate-core - Ubuntu MATE - core system | 22:55 |
| Thorax2015_ | Always used Quassel on windows | 22:55 |
| meatie | i see mate in my apt-cache and i'm using 15.04 | 22:55 |
| sakang | Thorax2015_: yes you can see it but it's a KDE app | 22:55 |
| wileee | works and supported here, may not shake hands | 22:55 |
| Thorax2015_ | So will that cause problems using Quassel | 22:56 |
| sakang | not really, but installing quassel will bring in a lot of KDE stuff | 22:57 |
| sakang | or Kubuntu | 22:57 |
| Thorax2015_ | ah | 22:57 |
| wileee | Thorax2015_, just a general statement, you wee given instances for install IE 14,04 build your own that would not be supported here possibly | 22:57 |
| theskillwithin | ==> default: Error: Execution of '/usr/bin/apt-get -q -y -o DPkg::Options::=--force-confold install php5-redis' returned 100: Reading package lists... | 22:57 |
| wileee | were* | 22:57 |
| theskillwithin | E: Unable to locate package php5-redis | 22:57 |
| Thorax2015_ | XD Im so confused | 22:57 |
| eatingthenight | theskillwithin: you try php-redis? | 22:58 |
| meatie | he's new to Linux guys... | 22:58 |
| wileee | Thorax2015_, as far as support here? | 22:58 |
| meatie | Thorax2015_, why do you want to use Mate so bad? | 22:58 |
| theskillwithin | this is Vagrant using Puphpet | 22:58 |
| theskillwithin | why is it doing that wierd | 22:58 |
| eatingthenight | theskillwithin: did you run an apt-get update? | 22:59 |
| lunarctx56 | Is there any reason software center is so sluggish? | 22:59 |
| wileee | theskillwithin, keep it in support and try to avoid the enter as punctuation. free volunteer help. | 22:59 |
| meatie | it can't read his package list | 22:59 |
| Thorax2015_ | Because I've used Ubuntu in the past and I'm not a massive fan of unity. I like Mint a lot but im not a fan of the security concerns. | 22:59 |
| meatie | clean your package cache and rerun update. | 22:59 |
| meatie | use xfce Thorax2015_ | 22:59 |
| meatie | screw all the bloat of everything else | 22:59 |
| Thorax2015_ | any particular reason meatie? | 22:59 |
| meatie | without boring you... it's better and not bloating to shit. | 23:00 |
| lunarctx56 | I second Xubuntu, but i'm not a fan of the whisker menu | 23:00 |
| wileee | meatie, Can we keep it to support without the biased fud, and clean language? | 23:00 |
| eatingthenight | xfce so nice. it's the only way i could get my laptop to last 6 hours | 23:00 |
| meatie | oh sorry wileee. | 23:00 |
| sakang | Thorax2015_: well, quassel is the iRC client for KDE, so there should be one equivalent for mate | 23:00 |
| meatie | didn't mean to offend, my bad. | 23:00 |
| Thorax2015_ | Doesnt bother me meatie | 23:01 |
| wileee | no biggie, we want a minimum is all, world wide family channel | 23:01 |
| wileee | channel rules | 23:01 |
| meatie | makes sense. | 23:01 |
| meatie | i am a heathen, it comes out at times. | 23:01 |
| Thorax2015_ | So, how do i go about installing xfce? | 23:01 |
| wileee | heh | 23:01 |
| meatie | xfce is less resource hungry so if you appreciate that, you'll enjoy it. | 23:01 |
| sakang | install xubuntu | 23:02 |
| Thorax2015_ | Does xfce have a similar layout to linux mint cinnamon? | 23:02 |
| meatie | you can change everything to suit your needs, no matter what you choose. | 23:02 |
| theskillwithin | eatingthenight thank you i ssh into my vagrant machien now i am doing reprovision to see if error is gone | 23:02 |
| Thorax2015_ | sakang, ive already said i want unity aswell as something else | 23:03 |
| Thorax2015_ | Hence why i used the vanilla 15.04 install | 23:03 |
| Qbuo | Hey I have a supposedly easy question if anyone would be willing to help me for a bit? | 23:03 |
| lunarctx56 | Yes, it's similar to mint. | 23:03 |
| sakang | Thorax2015_: I thought you want to install xfce? Xubuntu is the ubuntu xfce flavor | 23:04 |
| lunarctx56 | SIMILAR not the same | 23:04 |
| wileee | Qbuo, Spill it fpr help. ;) | 23:04 |
| wileee | for* | 23:04 |
| Qbuo | I want to completely erase my ubuntu partition | 23:04 |
| Thorax2015_ | Yes sakang, I'm just trying to install another DE along side Unity | 23:04 |
| meatie | is that your question? | 23:04 |
| Qbuo | Yep | 23:04 |
| wileee | Qbuo, All in one post, likw with what and why and end goal. | 23:04 |
| theskillwithin | dang vagrant sucks with ubutnto | 23:04 |
| Qbuo | It's the only thing on my HD if that's a variable | 23:04 |
| theskillwithin | will the break anything? http://pastie.org/10322911 | 23:05 |
| meatie | vagrant is amazing with ubuntu. | 23:05 |
| meatie | vagrant+docker .. great dev. entails | 23:05 |
| theskillwithin | well then i suck with vagrant | 23:05 |
| Qbuo | I want to Uninstall Ubuntu 14.04 and all my data so I can install a new operating system | 23:05 |
| theskillwithin | I am using vagrant + puphpet | 23:05 |
| theskillwithin | what is docker? | 23:05 |
| meatie | docker.io | 23:05 |
| wileee | Qbuo, any install will wipe what you want, this is ubuntu support. | 23:05 |
| Qbuo | So installing anything will wipe what remains? | 23:06 |
| theskillwithin | u have to pay for it? | 23:06 |
| tgm4883 | containers FTW! | 23:06 |
| wileee | Qbuo, If you do it yes, youhave not mentioned the other OS, really this is not a supported issue if not a ubuntu install. | 23:06 |
| Qbuo | Alright, thanks | 23:06 |
| theskillwithin | I am using puphpet/ubuntu1204-x64 | 23:07 |
| Thorax2015_ | So how can i install xfce on Ubuntu 15.04? | 23:07 |
| Qbuo | I have bootlegged windows that I want to upgrade to w10 so I can play my games :P | 23:07 |
| faqih | a | 23:07 |
| tgm4883 | Qbuo: that's not this works, that's not how any of this works | 23:07 |
| Thorax2015_ | Plus win10 is free | 23:08 |
| meatie | Thorax2015_, if you are new to linux become familiar with the package management first. | 23:08 |
| sakang | Thorax2015_: like I said install xubuntu. | 23:08 |
| meatie | then you'll be able to just search for 'xfce'... apt-cache search xfce | 23:08 |
| dogeywoof | can anyone help me access the appdata section in ubuntu? | 23:08 |
| Thorax2015_ | I dont want to install xubuntu XD I keep saying that | 23:08 |
| dogeywoof | i know how in the terminal, but id like to do it graphically so i can see | 23:08 |
| Qbuo | tgm4883 what do you mean | 23:09 |
| Thorax2015_ | I just want to add a different DE to my current install, not format and install XUBUNTU | 23:09 |
| meatie | Thorax2015_, sudo apt-get install xfce4 | 23:09 |
| tgm4883 | Qbuo: I mean, this isn't windows support, as we don't support it here | 23:09 |
| sakang | Thorax2015_: installing xubuntu adds xfce desktop alongised your existing DE | 23:09 |
| dogeywoof | when you type /.folder in the terminal it brings you to the hidden appdata, but i cant figure out how to access those folders through the gui explorer | 23:09 |
| Thorax2015_ | Thankyou meatie. I am already pretty familiar with how the package management works. I just wasnt sure exactly how to install xfce | 23:09 |
| tgm4883 | sakang: installling xubuntu-desktop would | 23:10 |
| meatie | you're welcome. | 23:10 |
| Qbuo | I just want to know if installing a new operating system will completely wipe the ubuntu partition | 23:10 |
| meatie | Qbuo, yes. | 23:10 |
| tgm4883 | Qbuo: you've already been told it would | 23:10 |
| Qbuo | Well thanks for your help then, see you later | 23:10 |
| Thorax2015_ | Qbuo, not if you partition your drive first | 23:11 |
| Qbuo | Thorax2015_ what? | 23:11 |
| theskillwithin | blah | 23:12 |
| Thorax2015_ | Depends on your HDD's. If you have one drive with ubuntu on it, you will need to shrink the partition and install windows along side it. | 23:12 |
| Thorax2015_ | Though you will end up having only the windows MBR. Its best to install windows first then ubuntu | 23:13 |
| tgm4883 | Thorax2015_: he wants to wipe everything.... | 23:13 |
| Thorax2015_ | ohhh. Then yeah, go ahead haha | 23:13 |
| sakang | tgm4883: don't get confused between fresh install vs installing from package manager | 23:13 |
| theskillwithin | how do i know if redis is running? | 23:13 |
| tgm4883 | sakang: I'm not confused | 23:14 |
| tgm4883 | !info xubuntu | 23:14 |
| ubottu | Package xubuntu does not exist in vivid | 23:14 |
| tgm4883 | sakang: the only way to install "xubuntu" would be a fresh install. If you are using the package manager it would be xubuntu-desktop or xfce4 | 23:14 |
| Thorax2015 | Wow.... xfce is not very nice at all | 23:15 |
| artois | sure it is | 23:15 |
| tgm4883 | Thorax2015: ? | 23:15 |
| Thorax2015 | Task bar at the top, another mini taskbar at the bottom, whats that all about? | 23:16 |
| meatie | it's minimalistic | 23:16 |
| tgm4883 | Thorax2015: well to be fair, you installed a flat xfce without any of the xubuntu customizations | 23:16 |
| Myrtti | something that you can change from default | 23:16 |
| tgm4883 | Thorax2015: out of the box it looks like this http://xubuntu.org/screenshots/ | 23:17 |
| Thorax2015 | Not as minimalistic looking as mate or cinnamon | 23:17 |
| Thorax2015 | tgm4883: yeah thats exactly what it looks like except i have a small bar at the bottom | 23:17 |
| wolfy1339 | my computer is stuck in the grub CLI and I would like to boot a live usb, how would i go on to do that? | 23:17 |
| tgm4883 | Thorax2015: how is that not as minimalistic as mate? | 23:18 |
| tgm4883 | actually, mate has a bar on teh bottom | 23:18 |
| Thorax2015 | yeah, and nowhere else | 23:18 |
| Thorax2015 | Ahh i see, it was just a panel that I can move | 23:19 |
| fernando | hola | 23:20 |
| === fernando is now known as Guest19920 | ||
| Guest19920 | hol | 23:20 |
| Guest19920 | HOLa | 23:20 |
| Thorax2015 | ok xfce is pretty nice | 23:23 |
| meatie | Thorax2015, indeed it is | 23:24 |
| Thorax2015 | I think the default layout was just a bit naff | 23:24 |
| Thorax2015 | I cant get the taskbar to work over both my monitors though | 23:24 |
| danportin | tgm4883: just customize the interface; it will look as minimalistic as you prefer in no time at all. | 23:25 |
| Thorax2015 | Yeah i am doing, its pretty damn flexible | 23:26 |
| tgm4883 | danportin: I think you meant that for Thorax2015 | 23:26 |
| danportin | tgm4883: I did, you're right. Sorry! | 23:26 |
| tgm4883 | :) | 23:26 |

| treeprogram | hi, I'm trying to fix a battery issue stemming from the DSDT table. I've disassembed the file, fixed the problem, and recompiled it. Now how do I replace the existing DSDT table in /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/ with the modified one? I keep getting "operation not permitted", even when root | 23:27 |
| Thorax2015 | How stable is cinnamon on Ubuntu 15.04 | 23:27 |

| danportin | On Gerowen's suggestion, I installed Gufw to simplify editing iptables and connect to my machine from an external network. I still can't connect because (apparently) ufw keeps blocking my connection attempts (telnet and ssh). Am I doing something wrong? I'm really not sure what's wrong, here: <http://lpaste.net/137693> | 23:27 |
| Taz3r | Bon allez ++ à dans une semaine | 23:28 |
| tgm4883 | danportin: you have SSHD running on port 2015 but allowed in port 22? | 23:29 |
| treeprogram | *getting "permission denied", not "operation not permitted" | 23:29 |
| david__ | hello | 23:29 |
| pavlos_ | leave | 23:30 |
| treeprogram | nevermind, I think I found instructions on how to do it: http://askubuntu.com/questions/50656/no-battery-present-on-a-toshiba-satellite-l655 | 23:30 |
| theskillwithin | how do I know if reddis is running? | 23:30 |
| meatie | redis? pgrep redis ... | 23:31 |
| danportin | tgm4883: I think ufw is permitting ingoing and outgoing tcp connections on port 2015 (I forgot to edit that last 2015 - too late); where do you see it allowed on port 22? | 23:31 |
| gr1zzlybe4r | What should I do if I cannot get my Gnome Display Manager to bootup? I stupidly ran 'sudo apt-get remove gtk+-3.0" and now I can only see "starting version 219" indefintely when trying to turn on my computer. | 23:31 |

| meatie | gr1zzlybe4r, recovery mode -> reinstall it. | 23:32 |
| tgm4883 | danportin: that is what the GUFW says in your paste | 23:32 |
| gr1zzlybe4r | For reference -- I have reinstalled gtk3 by running sudo apt-get install gtk+-3.0 | 23:32 |
| gr1zzlybe4r | meatie -- you mean reinstall gdm? | 23:32 |
| gr1zzlybe4r | I'm also in recovery mode now. | 23:32 |
| tgm4883 | danportin: granted, I've not used GUFW, so I'm just reading what it says and hoping i'm right | 23:32 |
| meatie | i would try reinstalling gdm | 23:33 |
| meatie | tgm4883, nmap and see if the port is actually open | 23:33 |
| meatie | and i hope your router is forwarding the port | 23:33 |
| gr1zzlybe4r | argh -- ok I'll do that. Pretty dumb move to type "remove gtk+-3.0" lol. | 23:33 |
| deliad | hi | 23:33 |
| * tgm4883 sighs | 23:33 | |
| deliad | i'm getting my usb souncard working with alsa thru jack in lmms | 23:34 |
| tgm4883 | come on guys, at least read a little bit of the backlog | 23:34 |
| danportin | tgm4883: Oh, I see. That was the output of Gufw after selecting 'Deny' for 'Incoming'. That still doesn't answer the question why it's blocking ssh though, I think. | 23:34 |
| deliad | how i can use it in the whole system as default sound device? | 23:34 |
| meatie | ah sorry i just had a brainfart and was skimming the channel. | 23:35 |
| meatie | my mistake tgm4883 | 23:35 |
| danportin | nmap -p 2015 <my local ip> gives: 2015/tcp open cypress (what is cypress?) | 23:36 |

| euphoria42 | Hi, im interested in running a visualization of Windows 7 for use to run programs like Photoshop when I need them, i have the specs for it. Im just wondering what software to use. I know of VirtualBox, but are there better options for me? | 23:40 |
| tgm4883 | euphoria42: personally, I just use virt-manager and libvirt | 23:41 |
| tgm4883 | well, I did when I had to run a windows VM | 23:41 |
| B0g4r7_ | I use vmware, but that's non-free. | 23:41 |
| === cyphase__ is now known as cyphase | ||
| euphoria42 | Does it offer any better performance over VirtualBox? tgm4883 | 23:42 |
| tgm4883 | euphoria42: I like to think so | 23:42 |
| Guest70666 | wileee: Hi again, the guy with the grub issue. do you know of a way to boot into my linux dual boot from a live USB? | 23:43 |
| B0g4r7_ | Guest70666, you might have a look at http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ | 23:44 |
| stavros | hello | 23:46 |
| stavros | i'm trying to change a setting with "sudo -u myself gsettings <setting>" while i'm logged in, but it never changes. without sudo, it works fine. how can I make sudo work? | 23:47 |
| Guest70666 | B0g4r7_: I had tried that, but it wanted me to activate a repo on my system. | 23:50 |
| gr1zzlybe4r | whomever it was that recommended that I install gdm again -- it worked. I also had to reinstall the gnome desktop envrionment. New question: is the `ubuntu-gnome-desktop` package the DE that comes with the Ubuntu Gnome distro? I installed just `gnome` and it looks different from the Gnome DE that I had when I freshly installed the Ubuntu Gnome distro. | 23:50 |
