[00:00] why do you describe it again after i say it was bad [00:00] Validus: if X is even trying to start up, the log /var/log/Xorg.0.log might shed some light on how far it's getting [00:00] i'm assuming you've got just the one display connected [00:00] Nope two, only one seems to be recognised though. [00:01] anywho go snatch that log [00:01] ok will do, thanks for your help. [00:02] Random question, but do you not get sick of just helping people on here? [00:02] all the time. [00:03] i have to have little breaks so as to not kill you all through the internet [00:03] ^_^ [00:03] lol [00:03] hahaha, I used to help people out in an Android IRC but just couldn't handle the pain. [00:04] being in an office is much different [00:05] daftykins: really appreciate the help - but assuming my drive is corrupted and since HDD's are so cheap now anyway I might just go pick a new one up tomorrow [00:05] daftykins: I've always thought we needed an RFC for Punching over Ethernet [00:07] mike802: sounds like a plan, can't help but wonder if something else is going on though - ho-hum. maybe if it were the disk, "dmesg | tail" would show up issues === Chappo is now known as Chapster [00:18] hey guys, hoping someone can help me. I've set my network config to static, and now I can't resolve anything.. I've followed every howto under the sun to try to get it working again. I added the nameserver manually to /etc/resolv.conf and it worked great, but that file gets overwritten all the time. How do I fix it? thank you [00:20] anthonym: Did you have network-manager installed at a prior time ? [00:21] anthonym: purge resolvconf, reboot, enter a nameserver into /etc/resolv.conf - be happy and enjoy :) [00:22] thankyou, got it now [00:22] Hello, I upgraded my ubuntu 14.04 to 14.10 and then finally to 15.04, but I still have linux kernel 3.16.0-45, is there anyway I can upgrade to kernel 3.19? [00:22] thank you so much :) [00:22] just setup an ltsp server for my works call centre [00:22] working AWESOMELY so far. [00:22] clinton: do you have linux-generic installed? [00:22] I think so [00:23] Ok, just checked and it's not installed. [00:23] see if it pulls in the 3.19 [00:23] until it gets the pxe image, then the screen goes blank like its going to initialise graphics, and then an error comes up on the client pc: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known [00:24] clinton: you may need to run "sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade" [00:24] ok, will do thanks for the help! [00:25] is there a way to print a document with cups and ignore a "ink is low" warning? [00:25] Hello, everyone [00:25] How do I setup wi-fi using text mode? [00:26] x__: why would you use wifi headless? [00:28] daftykins, I need to configure my video card from text mode [00:29] i seem to be getting lag [00:29] x__: what makes you think that? is this a laptop? [00:30] daftykins, yes [00:30] A netbook, to be more precise [00:30] oh good lord not another one [00:30] so... what are you going to do over wifi whilst in text mode? doesn't make much sense to me [00:31] look fancy lol [00:32] daftykins, sigh [00:32] My graphics card doesn't work without proprietary drivers [00:32] so I have to boot into text mode [00:32] I want to run apt-get from console to install the proprietary drivers [00:33] what netbook [00:33] locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory [00:33] any help ? [00:34] I have tried all the commands [00:34] this makes me want to kill someone. [00:34] this occurs every time I try to install postgres [00:34] good everning gentlemne [00:34] I don't know what to do [00:35] x__: so why can't you just plug into a router manually for that one package? [00:35] as in, wired [00:35] you're not gonna be able to faff with wireless in textmode without additional packages likely anyway [00:35] x__: and yes, sigh at you indeed. [00:36] daftykins, No, dude, I can't! [00:37] why not [00:37] daftykins, Are you going to help me or keep criticizing me? [00:37] 50/50 [00:37] daftykins, I'm not in the mood to deal with trolls [00:37] what netbook [00:38] i think you ought to look up the definition of troll [00:38] anyway, you're making life harder for yourself unnecessarily [00:38] tgm4883, It's a Phlico 10D netbook [00:38] cable'd be great [00:38] daftykins, I only have one internet connection cable, and it's being used by this computer [00:38] so swap it temporarily [00:38] o0 [00:39] daftykins, And how am I going to talk to you? [00:39] why would you need to do both at once... [00:39] this might be such an open answered question but what would cause lag in ubuntu other then lack of hardware ? [00:39] daftykins, I don't know, dude. Why do I need computers at all? [00:39] daftykins, Can't I just go back to the stone age? [00:39] Chapster: 'lag' can be many things and is often a word used incorrectly, so it's hard to know what you mean [00:40] x__: you're just being silly now. [00:40] Jesus x__ just put in the network cable, update and you will most likely install your wifi packages... [00:40] you don't need to talk here while that happens. [00:40] Validus, Internet connection does not work while I put the cable [00:40] the computer seems slow in simple terms haha [00:40] it will in your netbook... [00:40] Chapster: version, desktop and hardware spec? [00:40] Validus, Just tried that. Apt-get does not work [00:41] When installing programs what initial config/settings are used? For example, if I install a sql db how does apt-get know what settings to use? [00:41] Phrozen_One: the defaults are in the package [00:42] daftykins, are there best practices for those settings? Such as servers only listen locally and other "safe" choices? I'm just curious as to what happens if I were to install apache from the repos for instance. [00:42] x__: what version of ubuntu [00:42] Phrozen_One: defaults are pretty good. [00:42] guys anyone can help me with the locale problem ? [00:43] what ever I have tried [00:43] I still get locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory [00:43] daftykins, what's the name of the file that records these settings? Can I dump it after the package is installed? [00:43] Phrozen_One: err well apache would install :D heh, what do you mean what happens? [00:43] j3r0: http://askubuntu.com/questions/162391/how-do-i-fix-my-locale-issue [00:43] Phrozen_One: i don't understand what you're trying to achieve [00:44] daftykins, I'm curious as to what the default settings are for server apps such as Apache when installed. Like does it listen on all interfaces, or just locally? I'm also curious as to what the default config of fail2ban is. [00:44] tgm4883, 12.04 [00:44] Phrozen_One: apache would listen on all interfaces. The defaults are set by the package maintainer [00:44] Phrozen_One: so browse to the configs and open them with a text editor to see :) [00:45] Phrozen_One: the easiest way is to install and look [00:45] ^ [00:45] daftykins, oh so just check out the apps *.conf file? I guess I was overthinking. [00:46] x__: when you plug the ethernet in you could try sudo service networking restart [00:47] Validus, I still need to input the network name and key [00:47] _wired_ not wireless. [00:47] hah [00:47] sh -c "echo -e 'LANG=en_US.UTF-8\nLC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8' > /etc/default/locale" [00:49] Hi [00:49] cool distro [00:49] mmm [00:50] right, I'm going to go have a look at my xorg log and try and fix my own machine :) [00:51] Anyone know why my terminal closes as soon as I switch to another window? [00:52] That doesn't seem standard [00:55] looks like they all just got minimized or something, I guess I'm okay now [00:55] they weren't in my 'taskbar', nor were they visible when I went to the desktop, but I think I'm okay now [01:04] does anyone low the value from 60 to something else when it comes to swappng ? [01:04] or is it good as default === xtr-2172 is now known as xtr === Blaster is now known as Guest25130 === Kaneki is now known as Dhs92 [01:29] anyone know off hand what would be stopping me from being able to ping my ubuntu server's name ?

[01:30] assuming these are two systems on the same network [01:30] IP does work, but I'm trying to get LTSP-server working properly [01:30] when the ltsp client boots via pxe, it finds the boot image, starts up, then gives me this error: [01:31] getaddrinfo failed: name or service not known [01:31] anthonym: Could it be the DNS isn't properly setup or pointing to the wrong IP? [01:33] This is whats happening when its trying to boot: http://i58.tinypic.com/2dqnays.png [01:38] anthonym: Weird, does anyone else besides you have root access? Seems like the /boot directory been messed with. [01:41] anthonym: you're not at a proper shell there ;) you can't run commands [01:48] nah its a fresh install [01:52] Is there an alternate CD for 15? [01:53] I noticed theres one for 12, but none after? [01:53] no, it got canned [01:53] !alternative [01:53] The alternate CD has been discontinued for the main Ubuntu distro, please use and report any bugs in the !LiveCD [01:53] !mini [01:53] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [01:53] Oh fantastic. [01:53] Because everyone is pointing me to the alternate CD, change mode to INSTALL LTSP Server === Eurynomos is now known as Guest72475 [01:58] Screw it, I'm going to use Edubuntu LTSP [01:58] hi [01:59] lo [01:59] easiest way to remove grub?

[02:02] wow that doesn't make any sense to me. [02:02] are you trying to boot an install on HDD, or a flash drive? [02:03] i tried loopback [02:03] that didnt work because the image loads a shell [02:03] im trying to dual-boot [02:04] * daftykins waits [02:04] it seems like anything i try as far as BIOS settings there is always the grub that prevents the usb from booting [02:05] that doesn't make any sense [02:05] ok [02:05] i have to sleep though.

[02:57] hey [02:57] can anyone help me with basic file transferring from ubuntu to a windows PC over the workgroup [02:57] i tried to transfer an mp4 movie from my ubuntu 14.04 laptop to a windows 7 PC [02:57] and on my end, the file is successfuly on there [02:58] But on the PC it's just an empty unplayable file [03:04] Anyone that can help with network transfer problems? [03:04] haysuse, Safest way, an opinion is have a shared ntfs. [03:05] Thanks for the suggestion; this is sort of a really basic setup I have here [03:05] I have a laptop running 14.04 and a PC running Win 7; with the file manager I can view the files on my Win 7 PC [03:06] I wanted to transfer a file to that PC by just copying it from my local laptop, and pasting it in the Win 7 PC from the file manager [03:06] The file supposedly went through, and on my end I was able to use it correctly [03:06] But on the Win 7 PC, the file is just empty (size 0 bytes) [03:06] and it's useless [03:09] I just inserted a 750Ti in my ubuntu Server LTS box, and it hangs on boot. Any ideas on how to fix this? [03:10] Sorry blib [03:10] What's the error you're getting? === khan is now known as Guest63660 [03:11] Like it just hangs? [03:11] blib: In that case you may want to try nvidia-346 from xorg-edgers ppa. ' sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa ; sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade ; sudo apt-get install nvidia-346 . As that driver is not available in the 14.04 repository . [03:13] Anyone know anything about file transfer across networks? [03:14] blib: you can take the card out [03:14] that will fix it :P [03:14] haysuse: across networks or on the same network? [03:15] was the file usable on ubuntu? [03:16] honestly my windows/linux transfers always get done with winscp on the windows side [03:17] sorry plytro [03:17] Uh yeah across networks [03:17] Ubuntu -> Win 7 over windows "workgroup" file sharing [03:17] The file was usable on Ubuntu before transfer, and immediately after [03:17] But upon reconnecting to the PC the file was unusable after [03:17] so the windows machine is on another network [03:18] different subnets and the like? [03:18] how do I find out if ubuntu server vs desktop is installed on my machine? [03:18] Same subnets plytro [03:18] Like I have a router at the house [03:19] I'm a server installed [03:19] And both machines are on that router and network [03:19] Like I can access the Win 7 PC in Nautilis under the "Network" tab === Betal_z is now known as Betal [03:21] I clicked on "Browse Network" -> "WORKGROUP" -> "[PC-NAME]" -> and went to the desired folder from there [03:22] The file name got messed up too [03:23] did you try deleting and just recopying? [03:23] Yeah [03:23] And like the transfer supposedly was succcesful immediately after [03:24] I was able to watch the newly transferred video by clicking it while I was in the Network view, looking at the files on my PC [03:24] By now I can't even connect to the PC like I was able to before [03:25] dunno [03:25] my solution is to put winscp on the windows machine and use that [03:25] Yeah sounds smarter tbh [03:25] thanks [03:25] the other way has worked for me before [03:26] Other way meaning what I was trying? [03:27] has anyone recently installed gnome on 14.04? [03:27] I just fired the apt-get - its downloading 1GB or so [03:27] Yeah I did [03:27] Uh that sounds right I think [03:28] I'm totally new to linux so i'm probably not much help [03:28] For some reason my screen doesn't lock when I close my laptop [03:28] Ever since I installed gnome [03:28] chekc the powersettings app === base is now known as Guest59028 [03:46] if I boot using nomodeset - are my nvidia graphics drivers disabled?

[05:48] if I dont want to pay [05:48] I have a macbook pro so I can get OSX [05:48] but I wanna make apps [05:48] video games [05:48] so, do your reasearch and create them [05:49] unity is not installing [05:49] I get error [05:49] Unity 3d [05:55] Hello, I'm stuck in a login loop [05:55] I don't know what to do [05:55] I think it happened when I removed pulseaudio [05:55] Wanted to install alsa instead [05:56] Anyone? [05:56] pulseaudio and alsa are essentially the same. why would you do that? [05:58] I messed up :/ [05:58] I was trying to play league of legends [05:58] And some guide said some stuff [05:59] *face palms* [05:59] Anyway to get it back to normal? [05:59] in terminal: sudo apt-get install --reinstall pulseaudio [05:59] IPhoton, boot to the terminal. reinstall your missing packages. and be careful when relying on "some" guide to do "some" stuff [05:59] i think [06:00] How do I know which ones I need? [06:00] I found something they basicly said ctrl alt f1 to go to terminal, login then type sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [06:00] it's a meta package. it will install what's missing [06:00] I also get the error "unable to connect to x11 display." [06:01] IPhoton, you know what did to remove? reverse it [06:02] Well I thought I did, but its not working [06:02] I tried to install both alsa and pulseaudio [06:02] And still did not work [06:02] I'll reboot now to see if ObrienDave's thing worked [06:03] NO! [06:03] reboot is not needed [06:03] Oh well, still didn't work [06:03] this is NOT windows ROFL [06:06] When the "unable to connect to x11 display. Is $display set?" Is on screen, that means its a video card problem? [06:09] Hey guys, just thought I'd post this again since I haven't gotten any further: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2289184 [06:13] Hi [06:13] hi [06:14] how i got a dual boot to work with win10 is i used mbr [06:14] If i install ubuntu and my system is UEFI bios would it let me use the windows boot manager instead of grub? [06:14] Also would i have to like make a partion of 100GB (Which i would do) and install ubuntu there or would it make its own partition?? [06:14] first i formatted my disk with gparted [06:15] using mbr, then i loaded win 10, then i loaded ubuntu [06:16] Anybody? [06:17] Grrr.. Its getting to late to wait.. I'll come back in a few hours when the sun is out here.. === zz_Thelks is now known as Thelks [06:29] Question: Using "swapoff -a; swapon -a" (as root) will force all programs in virtual memory to move to RAM? [06:30] Considering you have enough free RAM [06:31] if i add a ppa to my sources.list so theres a new package of "vim" there, how does apt-get know where to download vim from? what dictates whether "apt-get install vim" downloads from ppa versus the main ubuntu repositories? [06:32] brucelee, ppa's are not supported however the apt looks for the latest package available on a update, in the ppa if the packages are there, grasshopper. [06:32] wileee: what if the "vim" package exists in default ubuntu repos as well as the ppa? [06:33] * brucelee bows down to wilee for the wisdom [06:33] brucelee, why would you have the ppa then? [06:33] lol [06:33] wileee: like a modified version of vim for instance [06:33] wileee: lets say i fork it, make some changes and created a new package called "vim" [06:33] the PPA is probably newer but official repos strive for stability [06:33] yeah [06:34] i know ObrienDave but how does apt-get install vim know which one to download it from? [06:34] which ever is newest [06:34] brucelee, If modified and in a ppa there would be something there a name change probably, I agree newest. [06:34] ObrienDave: how does it tell which is newest? what metadata does it look at? [06:34] version number, grashopper ;P [06:34] *grasshopper ;P [06:34] * brucelee bows to all the grand masters [06:35] brucelee, I been waiting for you to come back so I could say that, thanks. ;) I use on occasion as a comic bump. [06:35] :p [06:35] glad im of service [06:35] ;) [06:36] brucelee, when packages are automatically built, 99.999999999% of the time, version numbers increase [06:37] i see [06:37] whether it be version or build number, it goes higher [06:37] yeah im not too familiar on how the process is, i didnt realize how the version numbers get applied, like if i made a change to a package, concievably someone could just host it without worrying about the version # [06:37] this is true [06:38] but yeah if its automatic, i guess it makes sense that version numbers should increment automatically [06:39] i have several packages that get built every night. the contents might not change but the build number increases [06:39] ah ok makes sense [06:39] handbrake PPA version comes to mind [06:40] ;) === christophe is now known as Guest30772 [07:01] Ubuntu 14.04 just got a message to update, ran it and it's hanging on "setting grub2-pc". Known issue? [07:02] how long has it been like that? [07:02] 20 minutes [07:02] ok type ps aux | grep "dpkg\|grub" and paste it [07:03] Nevermind, it finally finished. Thanks anyway EriC^^ [07:03] great, np [07:04] needed 22 minutes to finish ;P [07:04] Older single core box that I use for Kodi :-P [07:06] A gig of ram and an old NV 9500GT video card in her and she streams in HD like a champ. God bless Linux. [07:25] Is there a reason my 64GB microsd card won't hold a partition table or formats? Every time I reboot the table is gone again and after I partition it and try to format it to a fs, it reverts either to no fs or loses the table altogether... [07:27] if it does that with more than one computer, i think your card is frionked [07:27] It does. Damn, brand new card too! Thanks anyways. [07:28] I just realized that the internet connection here has no NAT, I am directly in the internet! How can I get a firewall to block everything incoming? [07:28] goose1244 what brand is it? [07:28] !ufw | irrep [07:28] irrep: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as gufw and ufw-kde also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [07:28] some reading ^ [07:29] imrehg: SAMSUNG EVO SDXC [07:29] irrep: do you have not router or something? [07:29] *no [07:29] aeon-ltd: I started with that and just did `ufw default reject incoming`. Still my Apache is visible from the IP [07:29] irrep: just set your iptables and you will be fine [07:29] aeon-ltd: nope, just a modem [07:30] BuzzardBuzz: I have never used iptables ... the currently installed tables seem very long. CAn one understand that in half an hour or so? [07:30] you can use a GUI to set it up if you need to [07:30] we know some who spent YEARS and can't understand it ;P [07:32] How play GTA 5 on linux ?> [07:33] ask in #winehq [07:34] senk [07:34] BuzzardBuzz: I enabled the firewall in gufw and have no more rules in there. The default policy is to block. Still I can access my computer from the web I think [07:34] rootware: with the performance hit you'd have to take to run in linux, you would need a high spec pc. and if you had money for a high spec pc you have money for windows. seriously other than 'cool' factor why? [07:35] BuzzardBuzz: nevermind. I think the `lo` interface responds even when I put in the global IP address into the browser [07:35] i play stable on Windows / but a love Linux [07:36] it is better not to mention the evil windows here, i think [07:36] rootware: I guess most people here feel similarly. I have a dedicated Windows machine for Gaming. I treat it like a console and not worry about the OS there [07:37] rootware: I do everything else on LInux. I would not want to have some games on my Linux laptop, so I am rather happy to have a dedicated Windows machine for running all the games [07:38] gaming on linux is doable too with some effort [07:38] hello [07:39] i have 1 machines .. [07:39] rootware: What about dual-boot? [07:39] BuzzardBuzz: even with DX 12 games and so on? [07:40] anonymous: hi there [07:40] heya, I'm having problem with the sound on my ubuntu 14. I have a dual boot installed (w8 and ubuntu 14). The sound works perfectly in w8, but in ubuntu there is no sound at all. any idea what the problem could be? I've already reinstalled plusaudio and purged all configs etc... didn't helped :( [07:41] Hello. Is it possible to make additional partition on USB key with Ubuntu LiveCD? [07:41] Cholrabli: try pavucontrol [07:41] Cholrabli, or alsamixer in terminal [07:41] Novice201y: you mean an additional partition on the live usb? [07:41] EriC^^: Yes. [07:41] yeah [07:42] you can make a persistent live usb too [07:42] EriC^^: And have this USB still bootable as Ubuntu? [07:42] yeah [07:43] hey guys im installing ubuntu vivid velvet on mini iso [07:43] and i was wonderign [07:43] how do i get a grapical interface? [07:44] EriC^^: Thank You. [07:44] dylan_: install a desktop package, ubuntu-desktop xubuntu-desktop etc. [07:44] but dont i have to install xorg? [07:44] dylan_, mini iso has no GUI. you install one after [07:44] dylan_: it will pull in all the dependencies [07:44] Novice201y: no problem [07:44] i recommend Xubuntu-desktop. i'm partial to XFCE ;P [07:45] i want somthing like really lightweight [07:45] dylan_: lubuntu is lightweight [07:45] xubuntu is still lightweight but has more stuff [07:45] so is xubuntu [07:45] so whats the difference [07:45] ?? [07:45] the gui [07:45] Anyone is using laptop and lenovo one? [07:45] is gnome lightweight? [07:45] lubuntu is more for older pc's [07:45] just the DE (desktop environment) [07:45] im using a laptop hp [07:45] xubuntu uses xfce, lubuntu uses openbox and lxpanel [07:45] dylan_: no, gnome is pretty heavy [07:46] oh ok i thought gnome was lightweight [07:46] dylan_: what's the cpu/ram? [07:46] Please write my name if yes [07:46] cause i got ubuntu mini with 8gig ram assigned [07:46] So much important [07:46] i mean 8gig hard drive [07:46] ? [07:46] and the os is currently installing the packages etc [07:46] 8gb hdd? [07:46] this a vm? [07:49] ObrienDave: I've already tried alsamixer, but to be honest: I don't have any idea what I should do there [07:49] EriC^^: thanks, will install it [07:49] cofo: I have a ThinkPad X220 here [07:49] Can you help me in private? [07:49] dylan_: Gnome 3 is super heavy, need 3D. You can use Mate (Gnome 2 form) which is lighter [07:49] Cholrabli, make sure the volumes are turned up ;P [07:50] F5 i think [07:51] ObrienDave: LOL, already verified that in the "Sound settings". I've also tried all available output channels, no luck [07:51] EriC^^: pavucontrol tells "shows" me some sound in the "Built-in Audio Analog Setero" channel, but I still can't hear anything [07:52] ok [07:52] cause i just wanted to know what lightweight guis people really like [07:52] Cholrabli: what's the port below it? [07:53] EriC^^: can you specify what you mean with "port below it"? [07:53] Cholrabli: it says port below it here, and next to port it says speakers === Chappo is now known as Chapster [07:53] i can choose headphones too [07:53] Cholrabli: in the output [07:54] try speakers first [07:54] EriC^^: on "Built-in audio analog stero" I can choose between "Analog Output" and "Headphones". can see any "port" [07:54] im using 12.04 runs like a charm :D [07:54] with unity 2D:d [07:54] Cholrabli: what about the configuration tab? [07:54] how come in ubuntu it makes the disks so one is ext4 and one is swap? [07:54] does anybody know why cups is filling my /tmp dir with symbolic links and not remove them? [07:55] EriC^^: on the HDA NVidia Digital Stereo I see port 3. But I don't want to use the HDMI port, since the sound will go through my monitor (which sounds terrible) [07:55] I do you know the mode to work arduino? [07:55] EriC^^: configuration tab shows the same setup (no "port" for the built-in-audio but several ports for NDA Nvida) [07:55] Hi! [07:56] Can you read me? [07:56] is gnome 3 heavy on resources? [07:56] like for a gui? [07:56] claudio_, yes, we read you [07:56] Cholrabli: try a different profile [07:56] Ok It's the first time that i use Xchat [07:56] dylan_: its not lightweight [07:56] kk [07:56] !lubuntu | dylan_ [07:56] dylan_: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [07:56] hi [07:56] ' using xubuntu [07:57] EriC^^: the only available profil I have for "Built-in audio" is "Off" and "analog stereo output" (in the configuration tab) [07:57] I'm using Xubuntu [07:57] Is it possible to make separate /home partition during standard Lubuntu installation? [07:57] Novice201y: yeah [07:57] i think so [07:57] Cholrabli: is everything turned on and enabled in alsamixer? [07:58] PCM MASTER etc. [07:58] is loopback enabled? it's on the far right [07:59] EriC^^: http://i.imgur.com/eGriWji.png [07:59] to me, it looks like everything is enabled [08:00] Cholrabli: do you have anything to the far right? [08:00] also try cranking the master all the way up [08:02] EriC^^: to the right far I have LFE, Line, Line Boo, S/PDIF, S/PDIF D, Beep, Auto-Mut, Rear Mic [08:03] EriC^^: turning up the master all the way up doesn't work :( [08:03] hmm [08:04] EriC^^: syslog says "Aug 2 09:33:15 upc kernel: [ 14.585956] sound hdaudioC1D0: HDMI: invalid ELD data byte 88" [08:04] but googling for that will tell me that the hardware is broken (which is defnitely not the case since its a) a new pc and b) works perfectly in w8) [08:11] Cholrabli: are you trying to use the laptop's speakers? [08:11] EriC^^: nope [08:12] its a PC [08:12] and I have pluged in external speakers [08:12] do they have any settings on them? [08:12] EriC^^: I can turn them up and down on the speaker itself, thats it [08:14] EriC^^: http://www.amazon.de/Logitech-LS11-Stereo-Lautsprechersystem-silber/dp/B00178ZDOC <- pretty basic, nothing fancy [08:18] hi everyone, I've noticed that pulseaudio is not a dependency of skype in the 14.04 repos. Is there anywhere I can report it as a dependency? [08:19] ummm, what make you think that it's adependency? [08:19] * a dependency [08:19] Cholrabli: this is a long shot, but does your card have any switch or setting of some sort? googling says it was a setting on a tv that caused an error for someone [08:20] EriC^^: dont think so. also, that would mean that the sound wouldn't be working on w8. which is not the case [08:20] so it looks like some driver / ubuntu related issue to me [08:21] yeah, i was thinking maybe ubuntu can't handle that setting or something, anyways nevermind [08:22] ObrienDave: well skype requires pulseaudio to function properly (have audio). So when I installed skype on ubuntu minimal I didn't have any sound until I instaled pulseaudio alongside it. [08:22] Cholrabli: did you update ubuntu? sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ? [08:23] EriC^^: I'm using 14.04.02 LTS with the latest updates [08:23] EriC^^: will dist-upgrade upgrade me to non-lts? [08:23] no, it will update the kernel and other packages [08:23] give it a shot [08:24] you should be doing it anyways unless you have a good reason not to === test is now known as Guest81183 [08:25] why isnt a simple update sufficient? [08:25] EriC^^: getting " apt apt-transport-https apt-utils libapt-inst1.5 libapt-pkg4.12", dont think that these packets are related to audio, is that correct? also: "The following packages have been kept back: libgbm1" [08:25] apt-get upgrade? [08:25] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade <- thats what I did === S|ipKorN- is now known as CripperZ [08:26] asansola: dist-upgrade updates packages that need other packages to be removed or installed, so if you don't do it you'll have packages that aren't updated [08:26] Cholrabli: ok, did you reboot? [08:26] autoremove isn't really necessary, and should be last [08:27] EriC^^: how is it different from aptget update [08:27] and upgrade is redundant if you do dist-upgrade [08:27] EriC^^: sec [08:27] EriC^^: should I install libgbm1? [08:27] asansola: update just updates the list of available packages [08:27] Cholrabli: if you haven't rebooted after dist-upgrade you should reboot to use the new kernel [08:28] 刚刚加入了。 [08:28] EriC^^: I didn't got a new kernel [08:28] ok [08:28] type uname -r [08:28] mine's 61 [08:28] currently using 3.16.0-45-generic [08:28] that's old [08:28] oh, 3.16 [08:28] nevermind [08:30] EriC^^: btw, I've used the same loudspeakers with ubuntu 14 on my previous PC, worked always well [08:30] so it must be some driver thingy [08:30] Cholrabli: have you tried setting the preferred audio output in kde systemsettings applet. [08:31] because it looks like it is preferring the hdmi over your mobo audio. [08:31] soupnanodesukar: hmmm I guess you mean the "Sound settings"? [08:31] yes [08:31] Cholrabli: yeah [08:32] EriC^^ / soupnanodesukar: http://i.imgur.com/iF1z9v3.png [08:32] HDMI / displayport works (but sounds terrible -> monitor loudspeaker) [08:34] Cholrabli: if u have encountered this problem after an update, u can manually downgrade the new package [08:35] asansola: no upgrade, fresh ubuntu 14 installation on a brand new pc [08:35] Cholrabli: maybe you can plug the speakers in the monitor? [08:36] until you get it sorted out [08:36] so ur speakers are not functioning properly? [08:36] asansola: at least they did on my previous ubuntu PC and so they do on w8 yes [08:37] Cholrabli: no sound or choppy sound [08:38] asansola: no sound at all (through the built in sound chip of my ASUS board). but works through display port (Nvidia) [08:40] did u check alsamixer [08:40] is it muted there [08:41] Cholrabli: https://askubuntu.com/questions/14077/how-can-i-change-the-default-audio-device-from-command-line [08:41] asansola: http://i.imgur.com/eGriWji.png [08:42] Cholrabli: output of aplay -l [08:42] soupnanodesukar: "pacmd list-sinks" shows me two sinks that are in state "SUSPENDED". any idea what this menas? [08:43] asansola: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=iYr3dZXL [08:43] Cholrabli: suspended means it's not playing anything [08:44] soupnanodesukar: ah right, when I play sound it says "RUNNING" [08:45] soupnanodesukar: can you give me a hint what sink I should set as default? [08:45] soupnanodesukar: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=mUe7g3G2 [08:45] I guess index: 2 [08:46] Cholrabli: The second one. [08:49] soupnanodesukar: thanks, I guess I have to reboot now? [08:49] Cholrabli: yes, see if it persists across reboots. [08:49] hi im trying to figure out for ubuntu vivid velvet [08:49] the mini iso [08:49] what is the minimal install? [08:50] cause im trying to install a mini iso [08:50] cause im not sure if i want minimal or a desktop [08:50] dylan_: minimal is a command line, no desktop [08:50] so for the mini.iso rihgt [08:50] if i chose lets say xubuntu desktop [08:50] soupnanodesukar: alright, rebooting [08:50] it would install it? [08:51] it will install whatever you choose [08:51] how do i chose [08:51] i just press enter on what i highlighted [08:51] and i dont know if it did it [08:51] dylan_, after finishing install [08:52] well ill tell you what happens when its done [08:52] is xubuntu lightweight? [08:52] yes [08:52] i use it [08:53] soupnanodesukar: no luck, still no sound :( [08:57] Cholrabli: as u mentioned you have a dual boot, can you check and ensure that the sound level in ur windows are high enough ? then try to boot into ubuntu [08:57] Cholrabli: have a look at https://askubuntu.com/questions/158908/how-can-i-force-a-preferred-sound-output-device-to-be-used [08:58] i just got a error [08:58] soupnanodesukar: hmm isn't that the same what I just did a few mins ago? [08:59] dylan_: An error? [08:59] sorry the application update-apt-xapian-index has closed unexpectedly [08:59] what does that mean?? [08:59] and is that bad? [09:00] Cholrabli: it mentions the pusleaudio configs that get read at reboot [09:01] Hi to all. I have Ubuntu 14.04 installed on my Dell Inspiron laptop for a year. These days, I have a problem. [09:01] Sometimes (mostly when I try to move my laptop) wireless gets disconnected AND apart from that, my laptop freezes! [09:01] And it does not get back to normal unless I restart it. [09:01] As there is nobody in #btsync channel: Someone here with knowledge of btsync 2.0? I currently try to setup btsync server and transfer my identity https://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/40012-setup-sync-20-server-identity-automatically/ [09:01] Do you know what the problem might be and how to fix it? [09:03] hey should i install grub [09:03] in my mini install [09:04] yeah [09:04] soupnanodesukar: allright, rebooting [09:04] dylan_: yes [09:04] dylan_: grub lets you reboot into your linux system [09:05] ok thank you [09:06] soupnanodesukar: no luck :( [09:06] i just finshed the mini iso [09:06] and it didnt get a gui! [09:06] but i highlighted the xubuntu [09:07] and it comes up just with stupid text based [09:07] how can i fix [09:07] Has anyone tried lilo and syslinux instead of grub? [09:07] how was ur experience with it [09:07] asansola: lilo is pretty old [09:07] can anyone tell me how i get a gui for my mini install [09:07] Cholrabli: tbh at this point I would suggest installing kde and seeing if systemsettings5's multimedia section gives you an idea of whats going on [09:07] i just finshed it and it didnt come up with a gui instead with a [09:08] text base command prompt [09:08] dylan_: type sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [09:08] ok [09:08] thx [09:08] soupnanodesukar: aw :( [09:09] Cholrabli: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQM5fU7V-MM [09:11] soupnanodesukar: lol, I have no sound here :P [09:12] Cholrabli: http://a.uguu.se/fxcmtl.png [09:18] Cholrabli, not sure what you've tried but have you looked at the alsamixer or aplay? === iulian is now known as Guest71401 [09:20] Cholrabli, looks like someone mentioned it above but I don't see a response from you on that [09:20] Cholrabli, when I've had audio issues getting that working first seems to be the first step [09:22] wafflejock: no idea what I shuld do in alsamixer or aplay [09:22] I guess simply starting the program will not solve my issue? [09:23] alsamixer will allow you to adjust volume levels to eliminate that potential issue [09:24] hi guys [09:24] the gui didnt show up afterall [09:24] had to install startx [09:24] so the minimal install is bad afterall:( [09:24] i wanted to install xubuntu [09:24] i installed using sudo [09:24] reboot and no gui [09:24] what have i done wrong [09:25] ? [09:25] dont use startx [09:25] dylan_: What commands did you run? [09:25] i ran sudo apt-get xubuntu desktop [09:25] Cholrabli, aplay just plays an audio file but doesn't depend on pulseaudio or any of the stuff above ALSA for doing the playback so good to be sure that's working or nothing else probably will... in the alsamixer you can unmute devices or adjust their levels, sometimes things get muted [09:25] and it done everything i reboot [09:25] dylan_: what did you install? did you install the *dm ? did you install the desktop you want? [09:26] listen [09:26] dylan_: xubuntu-desktop ? or without the - ? [09:26] i installed sudo apt-get xubuntu desktop right [09:26] and i reboot [09:26] and no gui [09:26] Cholrabli, they're just things you can run at the terminal, for alsa mixer you'll need to install alsa-utils I believe (sudo apt-get install alsa-utils) [09:26] so i cant figure out why [09:26] dylan_: did you install a lightdm? [09:26] i just told u [09:26] xubuntu [09:27] it didint boot into grapical [09:27] it booted into a stupid terminal [09:27] dylan_: listen, the minimal install is a advanced install. so if you dont have a clue use the proper xubuntu iso and make the regular install. that is for beginners [09:27] wafflejock: aplay myfile.mp3 = no sound [09:27] Cholrabli, give alsamixer a shot [09:27] Cholrabli, it should show your device outputs that the system sees, maybe that will shed some insight [09:27] ugh i wanted to install xubuntu on mini iso [09:28] wafflejock: already did, you can see a screenshot of alsamixer above [09:28] didn't sorry can you link me again? [09:28] (sorry my history is gone because I rebooted my pc, so I can re-post the link) [09:28] ah k [09:28] dylan_: xubuntu desktop without the - is plain wrong. so there is the issue. and maybe you need to install the lightdm anyway yourself on the minimal install. but as i said, that is a advanced intall. if you want a "one click and all is done" install use the regular xubuntu iso [09:28] dylan_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/98561/how-to-install-xubuntu-complete-version-from-the-terminal [09:28] Cholrabli i havent followed ... try this, do you hear anything? play /usr/share/sounds/alsa/* [09:29] Is there a way to capture events of buttons being pressed on my bluetooth headset? [09:29] MonkeyDust: nothing :( [09:29] Cholrabli, okay yeah just read back some of that didn't see the link but basically you don't see much in terms of devices in alsamixer is the gist? [09:29] Hello! [09:30] Cholrabli, you can hit F6 in there to choose a different audio card [09:30] Cholrabli, does it show your audio device in there? [09:30] I accidently deleted my seagate file on my external HDD. My Ubuntu isn't opening my external HDD now. Any solutions? [09:31] wafflejock: http://i.imgur.com/BBQCs0W.png <- alsamixer screenshot [09:31] wafflejock: F6 -> shows me HDA Intel PCH and HDA Nvidia [09:32] hda nvidia works but thats not what I want (since it sounds terrible to my monitors loudspeakers) [09:32] Cholrabli, are you on 14.04? [09:32] ytixdecaf: try testdisk [09:32] Cholrabli, er which version [09:32] yes [09:32] sec [09:33] 14.04.2 [09:33] Eric^^: testdisk? [09:33] ytixdecaf: yeah sudo apt-get install testdisk [09:33] Cholrabli, are you dual booting? [09:33] wafflejock: yep [09:34] Cholrabli, well I've got just the bug report for you :) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1357723 [09:34] Launchpad bug 1357723 in linux (Ubuntu) "No sound after rebooting from Windows (ALC1150)" [Medium,Fix committed] [09:34] Eric^^: I installed it. No what? [09:35] wafflejock: hmmm interesting.... but thats from 2014... still no fix?! [09:35] ytixdecaf: type sudo testdisk [09:35] then no log [09:35] Cholrabli, it says fix committed I'm not sure how to tell when where it was pushed into a package though [09:35] Cholrabli, also says though it's swapping the ports is that a possibility with your card? [09:36] Cholrabli, just to verify it's the same problem [09:36] No log? New Log? [09:36] wafflejock: yep, actually it worked a few days ago when I swapped the ports at the card, which ofc sucks because I have to swap it back on windows. however, since I resitalled pulsaudio & co (and pruged the config), nothing works at all (except the HDMI /nvidia sutff) [09:37] "Kernel 3.18 has fixed this bug." <- so I have to wait for that kernel... [09:38] Cholrabli, it looks like it's in vivid [09:38] Cholrabli, I mean 15.04 but that's not LTS unfortunately [09:38] can use the enablement stack [09:39] wafflejock: likely stupid question: will kernel 13.18 ever come to 14 LTS? [09:39] it already is [09:40] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [09:40] yeah listen to Ben64 here I'm not sure but he'll know [09:41] Ben64: hmm do you have specific instructions on how I can get that stuff running here? [09:43] probably install something like linux-generic-lts-vivid [09:44] Ben64: thx, will give it a try === ed is now known as Guest5413 === CripperZ is now known as S|ipKorN [09:46] Ben64: rebooting, brb [09:49] Ben64: running on 3.19.0-25-generic now, still not sound [09:50] Cholrabli, check out aplay again before trying other things [09:50] Eric^^: Yes, I finished installing it. [09:51] <[twisti]> is the phpmyadmin package for LTS 12.04 broken ? the install fails with "apache2: Syntax error on line 234 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf: No such file or directory" which indeed points to /etc/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin.conf which doesnt exist [09:51] wafflejock: aplay myfile.mp3 -> no sound [09:51] :( [09:53] [twisti], dpkg -L phpmyadmin | grep /etc will show you anything the package put in /etc it should be fine though [09:53] [twisti], you can sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin --reinstall, if you think something went awry [09:53] Hi to all. I have Ubuntu 14.04 installed on my Dell Inspiron laptop for a year. These days, I have a problem. [09:53] Cholrabli, sorry not sure what else to tell ya on debugging that [09:54] Sometimes (mostly when I try to move my laptop) wireless gets disconnected AND apart from that, my laptop freezes! [09:54] And it does not get back to normal unless I restart it. [09:54] Do you know what the problem might be and how to fix it? [09:54] wafflejock: :( sucks donkey balls [09:55] Cholrabli no such language here [09:55] MonkeyDust: sorry === fakir is now known as an0nmat1r [09:56] so frustrating :( [09:56] <[twisti]> wafflejock: same error. the dpkg line shows a bunch of files that do not actually get put in /etc [10:01] [twisti], not sure what to tell ya http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/all/phpmyadmin/filelist think it should be pointing at that apache.conf not a phpmyadmin.conf file but you're saying you have no /etc/phpmyadmin after installing? [10:01] <[twisti]> i do, but there is only config-db.php in there [10:02] wafflejock: I'l try to get help in the ubuntu, if that doesn't work I'll take into consideration switching to an alternative linux distro. thanks for you help! [10:02] <[twisti]> presumably the other files would have gotten installed after the error happens [10:03] [twisti], oh strange okay yeah I didn't completely follow that it was during installation you got that error not after installing and trying to run the server [10:03] <[twisti]> and my bad, it does indeed point to apache2.conf [10:03] typically you only see those errors from apache when starting up or using apachectl to test the config [10:03] <[twisti]> phpmyadmin.conf -> ../../phpmyadmin/apache.conf [10:03] okay [10:03] <[twisti]> yeah, that apparently happens during the installation [10:03] hello all [10:04] [twisti], still strange I dunno I have a walkthrough on setting up lamp on YouTube using 12.04 I didn't have a problem at the time... I know some things in apache 2.4 have changed in terms of directory structure but don't think it affected that [10:04] hello guys, i want to parse hastebin.com and send data to it and save and get the url . how can i do this ? [10:04] hi [10:05] [twisti], here's my walk through it's long but jump points in the description and I cover a lot of other stuff, can maybe compare what's going on but I just did a full lamp install https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQNbsCTFrAA [10:05] <[twisti]> ill check it out, but presumably there isnt that much that one can do wrong when writing "sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin" [10:06] <[twisti]> my guess is that the package is indeed screwed up and only installs over existing older versions of the package [10:06] [twisti], yeah at worst though you can grab the package from the downloads/packages site I linked there and just manually install it, if there's a .deb can just dpkg -i thedeb.deb, but might be problematic with regard to getting updates [10:07] [twisti], basically phpmyadmin is really just a bunch of php files and that config.inc.php file has the settings for connecting to the DB and the .conf file has some apache configuration for the path === moz is now known as Guest24035 === Guest24035 is now known as motz [10:08] <[twisti]> i know, the only reason im going through apt is for the automatic updates [10:09] <[twisti]> i used to just dump the folder into my /var/www [10:09] [twisti], yup makes sense just trying to come up with alternatives to get it up and running === ch3f is now known as panosk [10:10] [twisti], I suppose you could try just putting that one configuration file in place and seeing if it gets past the error [10:17] [twisti], I'm trying to check out the .deb file to see if it does something silly perhaps [10:17] hello [10:17] any1 der [10:17] tzzun__: 1600 users are [10:18] i use ubuntu 14.04 LTS [10:18] is it possible to get unity 8 [10:18] for my ubuntu [10:18] tzzun__: unity8 is still in development for the desktop. [10:18] so wen will it be released [10:19] tzzun__: best is to test the "desktop next" iso [10:19] tzzun__: "when its done" :) [10:19] tzzun__: target was 16.04 iirc, for the desktop [10:19] so how is "desktop next" related to unity? [10:20] tzzun__: its a seperate .iso with unity8 and MIR running. for developers to have a test and dev system. [10:20] what is dis MIR? [10:20] tzzun__: so you want unity8 and dont know what MIR is? MIR is a new xserver that will be the base for unity8 [10:21] [twisti], yeah this is what's in the postinst http://paste.ubuntu.com/11985491/ that restarts the web server and might show that error if the configuration didn't get put in place, but I have no idea why the package wouldn't have already put the file in place by the time it runs the postinst [10:21] ok....can u tell me why der is a problem in fily copying in ubuntu.... imean sometimes it shows "0 seconds left" and it goes on for a while [10:22] tzzun__: sometimes its waiting for the hardware to clear the cache [10:22] ok..... i heard dat debian is more stable dan ubuntu.....is it true? [10:23] tzzun__: no. ubuntu offers LTS which got the focus on stableness, too. [10:24] where do you hear that, tzzun__ ? and why do you believe them? [10:24] k1l... is der a way to recover if ubuntu hangs [10:24] tzzun__: that depends on the exact issue [10:24] i mean der is nothing like CTRL + ALT+ DELETE wich is der inj windows [10:25] sometimes wen i watch moviez in ubuntu it hangs [10:25] tzzun__: ubuntu uses sysreq [10:25] den im forced to restart [10:25] <[twisti]> wafflej0ck: creating empty files with the proper names make the install go through, but the /etc/phpmyadmin directory still doesnt contain the files listed in the package [10:25] tzzun__: so look into the logs what was causing that hang. so you can remove the issue [10:25] wer can i find the logs? [10:25] /var/log [10:26] ok.....r u too using "irssi" [10:26] ? [10:26] tzzun__ it's 'are you', not 'r u' [10:26] when its rebooted afterwards you need to look into the .0 or .1 logs since they get cycled every boot === moz_ is now known as motz [10:27] tzzun__: i am using several irc clients [10:28] kl1....wen i copy files to USB drive my ubuntu hangs ....then i am not able to do anything till it gets over...why does it happen? [10:28] hi, I can't get my usb internet key working. Can anybody help me? [10:29] [twisti], you can try something like this http://askubuntu.com/questions/30482/is-there-an-apt-command-to-download-a-deb-file-from-the-repositories-to-the-curr or just download the .deb from the packages.ubuntu.com site directly and open it with a zip program (file roller) and open the /etc/ folder in there and check it out, the files are in there from what I've seen not sure why apt-get or dpkg or whatever isn't installing them [10:29] on your system [10:29] maybe the usb is that slow, that its causeing the system to use all ram. [10:30] <[twisti]> wafflej0ck: its no good, something in that package is fucked up, during install i get "A new version of configuration file /etc/dbconfig-common/phpmyadmin.conf is available, but the version installed currently has been locally modified." even if i manually delete that file before installing, same for the things in /etc/phpmyadmin [10:30] nope....i have check it in system monitor....it does not show any change in MEMORY usage wen i copy files [10:30] <[twisti]> i think im going to go with the traditional install [10:31] * neural_network passes gas [10:31] [twisti], would try sudo apt-get purge phpmyadmin, then sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin, if it doesn't work out something is screwy [10:31] * neural_network sniffs the fumes [10:31] fascinating [10:32] !ot | neural_network [10:32] neural_network: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

As of late I've been getting "system errors" on startup (no, I don't the exact messages, though I guess they are logged somewhere) I'm guessing due to borked packages/dependencies.

Currently it is "Cron Daemon" but I would line to make it more unique [10:57] Hello. My Lenovo Laptop won't charge above 59%, When I had windows I used lenovo energy managment and set the battery to charge up to 60% .Yesterday I switched to Ubuntu and now I have this problem. [10:58] Forums|13979, go back to windows and undo that 'set the battery to charge up to 60%' ? [10:59] hard way. only ubuntu on my pc now :( [10:59] it sounds not like an ubuntu issue, you gave tha answer yourself === Forums|13979 is now known as ashiq_ak [10:59] I would wonder how accurate that % is [11:00] when i use acpi -i command, it shows, Battery 0: Unknown, 59% [11:00] Battery 0: design capacity 176 mAh, last full capacity 168 mAh = 95% [11:01] wilee OerHeks [11:01] wileee [11:01] wrong mAh values :/ [11:03] Forums|13979, contact lenovo or see the manual? likely you need that tool to undo the charge limit [11:07] OerHeks : I know that it can fixed by installing windows again and changing the battery charge to 100%. I am looking for some other way. [11:07] its out of warranty [11:08] how can I customize the message at console login (previous to login) "Ubuntu 14.04 hostname tty1" ?

[11:17] ashiq_ak, AFAIK energy management softwares on windows make changes to bios [11:18] ashiq_ak i guess TLP is what you want [11:19] already tried no use. When i use acpi -i command, it shows Hello.

MonkeyDust Mandeep_Singh [11:19] sorry [11:19] already tried no use. When i use acpi -i command, it shows Battery 0: Unknown, 59% [11:19] Battery 0: design capacity 176 mAh, last full capacity 168 mAh = 95% [11:20] Mandeep_Singh MonkeyDust [11:21] ashiq_ak: try reflashing or updating your bios, that might reset it [11:22] ashiq_ak, there should be some option under BIOS to set the limit [11:22] brb [11:23] when on warranty period, i tried to update bios, which was donloaded from the lenovo site itself, and it didnt power on after that. happened two times from me. they replaced the motherboard :) Now i am out of warranty, i dont its a good idea for me, coz i dont know much about solution if it broke Mandeep_Singh [11:24] No such option in BIOS Mandeep_Singh [11:25] Also tried to reset CMOS by unpluging AC power and removing battery and holding the power button for 40 sec (Only for lenovo's i think), but didnt seem to work [11:25] Mandeep_Singh [11:25] Do you still have windows? [11:26] NO. thats the problem here lol [11:26] i should installed it along side windows === TheBigDeal is now known as green-in-blue [11:26] Have a look at: http://askubuntu.com/questions/34452/how-can-i-limit-battery-charging-to-80-capacity === green-in-blue is now known as MyLovelyBigDeal === MyLovelyBigDeal is now known as TheBigDeal [11:27] ashiq_ak: what's the problem? === TheBigDeal is now known as Newton95 [11:28] Mandeep_Singh Already tried that solution yesterday, when doing the second command it shows, modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'tp_smapi': No such device === Newton95 is now known as Newton_But_He_Kn [11:29] EriC^^ ("Hello.

[11:30] Yep === QuantumMechanics is now known as TheBigDeal [11:30] what's the difference between 59 and 60? [11:32] when i was on windows i used lenovo energy management tool, and set battery charge only to 60%, as it healthier while using laptop under ac power for long time. Now when i installed ubuntu its charging only to 59% not to 100% Eric^^ [11:33] Not typo, the truth:p [11:33] Did u saw the result when i use acpi =i command EriC^^ [11:33] acpi -i* [11:34] ashiq_ak: you're not being very coherent [11:35] so it's charging to 95% you want it to charge to %100? [11:35] it sounded at first like you wanted it not to charge to 59% but 60%, you can understand why that sounded kind of silly [11:36] EriC^^, he needs that lenovo tool to reset the charging limit. [11:36] Sorry, I am not that good in English. I respect everyone [11:36] yeah i need to charge it to 100%. [11:36] i answered he needs to go back to windows for that, but he has no windows anymore. [11:37] :( [11:37] why doesn't he have windows anymore? [11:37] * OerHeks found no unix tool or howto [11:37] he uninstalled it?

[11:42] Hey guys I was on here last night, but I'm still having issues logging into my machine. Last night I just installed an update, rebooted and when at the login screen it looked like I could login but then it wouldn't go to the desktop and just put me back at the login. [11:42] ideapad s300 [11:42] EriC^^ [11:42] ashiq_ak: oh, it only works for thinkpads [11:43] Looking into it, it seemed to be a graphics issue so I updated to the Nvidia 331 drivers and that has only made things worse as now I can't even get to the GUI login screen and I'm presented with a terminal to login to [11:43] http://termbin.com/nskf [11:43] http://termbin.com/nskf [11:43] http://termbin.com/nskf EriC^^ Mandeep_Singh [11:44] Reading /var/log/Xorg.0.log tells me that it couldn't open module vesa [11:44] module does not exist, 0 [11:44] no drivers avaliable. [11:44] no screens found [11:45] ashiq_ak: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Tpacpi-bat#Ubuntu_.2F_LinuxMint [11:45] I would continue using google as my help, but that has only seemed to make things worse [11:45] there's a ppa you can use [11:45] Has anyone got any idea what I can do? [11:45] (sorry for the essay) :) [11:45] ashiq_ak: can you access the bios? [11:46] okay. is my tp_smapi installation complete [11:46] ? [11:46] EriC^^ [11:46] ashiq_ak: tp_smapi only works for thinkpads, and not all of them [11:47] ashiq_ak: there's a ppa on the second link above, which should work, preferably if you can access the bios you can change it there as well [11:47] Saw this description on ppa page u gave, PPA description [11:47] ThinkPad battery charge threshold management scripts for newer models not supported by smapi. [11:47] Validus, can try sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-vesa [11:47] Validus, typically vesa is the fallback used if you have nomodeset in your boot params [11:48] I'll try that, just had to get my network working again. [11:49] EriC^^ Saw this description on ppa page u gave, PPA description "ThinkPad battery charge threshold management scripts for newer models not supported by smapi. [11:49] wafflejock: should I just reboot once installed? [11:49] ashiq_ak: yes, i think they mean it works for thinkpads/ideapads which don't support smapi [11:49] newer thinkpads or ideapad etc. [11:49] Validus, yeah can give it a shot not sure why it would have erased the vesa drivers but sounds like that's what was missing from the error [11:49] so I did, sudo service start lightdm [11:50] And that has brought em to a login [11:50] okay, how is that done PPA? idk how to do it' [11:50] EriC^^ [11:50] but I must have done something crazy last night as its giving me the debian login, rather than ubuntu, I also noticed my grub had been updated to debian [11:50] :| [11:51] I also still get the same login loop issue [11:51] Validus, you can have a terminal with dmesg running when you try to login [11:52] how? [11:52] Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to a terminal [11:52] ashiq_ak: you didn't answer about the bios.. are you able to access it? [11:52] Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back [11:52] yes [11:52] ok, you should be able to reset the power management there [11:53] no. option like that [11:53] battery saver/optimizer? [11:53] smart power management for the battery or something..? [11:53] nop ): [11:54] nop :( [11:54] Validus, it might give some insight into what's failing I've also heard of people needing to manually delete their ~/.Xauthority file not sure exactly why though [11:54] yeah I deleted that last night and it didn't do anything [11:54] People also chowned their home directory but that didn't do anything [11:54] i even tried resting CMOS yesterday..didnt seems to work [11:54] Validus, see anything with dmesg? or can tail -f /var/syslog [11:55] sorry /var/log/syslog [11:55] i even tried resting CMOS yesterday..didnt seems to work EriC^^ [11:56] ashiq_ak: ok, type sudo add-apt-repository ppa:morgwai/tpbat [11:56] syslog is just saying bumblebeed main process terminated with sytatus 1 [11:56] bumblebeed respawing too fast, stopped [11:56] Actaully, reading up it says no integrated video card found, quitting [11:56] which makes sense I suppose :P [11:57] Validus, https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues/232 some bug not sure if it's right or not [11:57] Okay. EriC^^ [11:57] Validus, would do some googling based on what you see there [11:57] Done!! EriC^^ === ob1mod_ is now known as ob1mod [11:57] Yeah just started, I'll have a look at that conf, cheers :) [11:57] Validus, try to get the exact version number of everything in there ideally to be sure you're not looking at some other issue [11:57] Validus, yup gl [11:57] ashiq_ak: type sudo apt-get update [11:58] done already [11:58] EriC^^ Done [11:58] At this point I'm just considering backing up my home directory and re-installing. [11:59] Validus backup is always a good idea [11:59] ashiq_ak: type sudo apt-get install tpacpi-bat [11:59] Its just slightly annoying that a normal update did this and I have only made things worse :) [11:59] hi, anyone able to help me with iscsi on ubuntu, i have created a lvm volgroup, and a volume, which is exported via iscsi. but i see the process[istd1] taking 100% cpu, and my esxi server can connect ot he servr, but not see any targets, doing a rescan takes about 5 mins. also the server is resistant to rebooting 'sudo shutdown -r now' three times now has failed to reboot the ubuntu server [11:59] Validus you can also create a separate /home partition, so you can easily reinstall without touching your personal files [12:00] Done EriC^^ [12:00] hey guys. I am creating my first .deb, is there a way to sign it? or how does the OS ensures that the package comes from the right hands? [12:00] I'm not sure if I did that when I installed, I know I spent some time deciding my partitioning scheme as I wasn't sure what flavour of Linux I wanted [12:00] So it may already be like that :) [12:00] EriC^^, will the same work for HP notebook? [12:00] ashiq_ak: type sudo tpacpi-bat -s SP 1 100 [12:01] Returns an error! "missing or invalid value for " EriC^^ [12:01] Mandeep_Singh: i dont think so [12:01] Validus what's the output of lsblk | nc termbin.com 9999 [12:02] nc: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known [12:02] wait [12:02] can't type :) [12:03] ashiq_ak: try 99 instead of 100 [12:03] hmm, nope still getting that [12:03] Validus take off those winter gloves [12:03] Now fine. Done that. EriC^^ [12:03] ashiq_ak: ok [12:04] gave me the same result MonkeyDust [12:04] LOL MonkeyDust and Validus [12:07] What next? EriC^^ [12:07] Ah I forgot to reset my eth0 again... [12:07] ashiq_ak: is it charging more than 95%? [12:07] still at 59% EriC^^ not 95% [12:08] type upower --dump | nc termbin.com 9999 [12:08] can I purge pcman?pcman is a file manager, I got rid of it, in the repos it appears as not installed, but there is still an icon on the menu [12:08] http://termbin.com/uqpz EriC^^ [12:08] Hello. I don't have sound on Lubuntu from installation. Is there other way to solve this than installing pulseaudio> [12:09] MonkeyDust: http://termbin.com/c0vo [12:10] That site is awesome btw. [12:10] ashiq_ak: try restarting, are you using uefi by the way? [12:10] yes EriC^^ [12:11] ok, try to restart [12:11] i was going to suggest reseting the bios, but it would probably delete the uefi entries too [12:11] while plugged in or /out? [12:11] EriC^^ [12:11] ? [12:12] AC power chord? [12:12] just restart [12:12] okay [12:13] BBLLCC, try ls /usr/share/applications/pcmanfm.desktop [12:13] BBLLCC, if there's a file there then it didn't remove it's entry used in the menus otherwise perhaps the menu just hasn't refreshed yet [12:13] should I use pcman instead of thunar? [12:14] BBLLCC, whatever works for you, I use nemo most of the time personally === D-unit is now known as adsjkdjka === adsjkdjka is now known as D-unit [12:15] install emerald ubuntu 12.04 [12:15] oops [12:15] 2 many computers running [12:17] good evening [12:17] anyone tried a linux kernel compile? [12:17] Still not charging. stuck at 59%. EriC^^ [12:17] kondratov: ubuntu does this service for you :) [12:17] kondratov, you may want #ubuntu-offtopic or #linux this room is just for support questions really [12:18] thank you, i still finding my way aroung irc [12:18] have u seen that the power values are wrong? "Battery 0: Unknown, 59% [12:18] Battery 0: design capacity 176 mAh, last full capacity 168 mAh = 95% [12:18] " [12:18] EriC^^ [12:18] ashiq_ak: type tpacpi-bat -g SP 1 [12:19] EriC^^ Done: Returns this: tpacpi-bat -g SP 1 [12:19] kondratov, np if it comes down to something you can't figure out in ubuntu itself or problems this is the place just fringe things people typically don't guide on in here just things the distro ought to do out of the box [12:19] sorry [12:19] wafflej0ck, how do I update the main menu? there is no directory for pcman to be uninstalled [12:19] your command did nothing [12:19] ashiq_ak: try with sudo [12:19] BBLLCC, is this the package you had installed? http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/amd64/pcmanfm/filelist [12:20] koszi [12:20] This: Bad status returned: Error: AE_NOT_FOUND [12:20] ASL base not found for this machine [12:20] {perhaps it does not have the ThinkPad ACPI interface} [12:20] ASL bases checked: [12:20] \_SB.PCI0.LPC.EC.HKEY [12:20] \_SB.PCI0.LPC0.EC0.HKEY [12:20] \_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC.HKEY [12:20] wafflej0ck, what I found on the repos [12:20] BBLLCC, typically Alt+F2 then R then enter will restart the interface but I use Gnome [12:20] BBLLCC, the .desktop files are used regardless of the GUI used for the menu basically but restarting them varies slightly I believe [12:20] alt+f2 opens the application finder [12:21] BBLLCC, okay not that then... what're you running? [12:21] EriC^^ what now? [12:21] xubuntu 15.04 64 bits [12:21] 大家好 [12:21] i was blocked lol did not see three copies of the same message [12:22] EriC^^ [12:22] jksfda [12:22] BBLLCC, yeah not sure on there but a couple people suggest alacarte I've found that useful as well [12:22] D-unit: nice gangsta name douchebag [12:22] BBLLCC, alacarte is just a GUI for managing which entries show up or deleting them [12:22] BBLLCC, still if there is no .desktop file from the package you installed then you shouldn't see it in the menu as soon as you reboot [12:23] thats the name I forgot, I use alacarte, but the pcman icon is not listed there either. Oddly enough, in the main menu the icon DO appears [12:23] ashiq-ak: use a pastbin next time. dont flood the channel [12:23] BBLLCC, which package did you install for pcman? [12:23] how? [12:23] He's arab what do you expect? [12:23] BBLLCC, you should be able to find it here http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and see the files in it [12:23] did mean to [12:23] wafflej0ck, is "from the repo" an answer to your question? [12:23] !paste | ashiq-ak [12:23] ashiq-ak: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [12:23] !language > pkg_add [12:23] pkg_add, please see my private message [12:23] Sharia and car bombings [12:23] didnt mean to [12:24] BBLLCC, well which specific things cause there's a few responses when I search pcman [12:24] BBLLCC, http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=pcman&searchon=names&suite=vivid§ion=all [12:24] EriC^^ U there? [12:24] ashiq-ak: yes, 1 sec [12:24] I am not arab by the way. pkg_add [12:24] he is gone. dont mind the trolls [12:25] did u see the message? [12:26] k1l_ Please . I am trying to do something :p [12:26] wafflej0ck, the first one [12:26] BBLLCC, okay search for .desktop here http://packages.ubuntu.com/vivid/amd64/pcmanfm/filelist [12:26] BBLLCC, you should see the files it puts in place [12:26] BBLLCC, those point to an icon and an executable file to run (usually in /usr/bin) [12:27] then all the other menu stuff uses that to know what to show [12:27] if your menu is still showing some old stuff and the .desktop file isn't there you just need to restart the menu app itself somehow, with Gnome it's just Alt+f2 then R in the box and enter, but not sure on XFCE [12:27] ashiq-ak: try sudo tpacpi-bat -g SP 0 [12:28] ashiq-ak: do you have a live usb by any chance? [12:28] Yes. I have the live usb. And that cmd returned this : Cannot specify 'either/both' for reading SP [12:28] EriC^^ [12:28] ashiq-ak: please use paste.ubuntu.com to paste [12:29] Okay.! EriC^^ [12:29] Validus i was away, so you do have a separate /home partition, ok [12:30] BBLLCC, you can also just try browsing around in /usr/share/applications since they're all somewhere in there but based on the file listing it's usually easier to find things [12:30] BBLLCC, or know something is already deleted that was in the package [12:31] MonkeyDust: I might just re-install, I'm having no luck with my original issue and I think I had made things worse with this debian grub and login screen :S [12:32] Validus, yeah would typically recommend just using the additional drivers dialog for installing drivers [12:32] EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11986100/ [12:32] Installing drivers didn't cause the issue originally, I just did a standard update and couldn't login. [12:32] Validus, in some cases you have to go with the proprietary from nvidia but people tend to run into problems with that more often than not and then have no way to upgrade or easily remove it seems [12:33] yeah, I'm trying to remove the damn thing now and its not the easiest [12:33] apt-get doesn't even think there is an nvidia driver installed. [12:33] ashiq-ak: ok, do you have a live usb? [12:34] No. can make one if we need one EriC^^ [12:35] ashiq-ak: ok, how did you install ubuntu, just as usual, nothing more? [12:35] just 10 min of time needed. EriC^^ [12:35] Interesting, I seem to have gotten rid of the nvidia drivers [12:35] usual EriC^^ [12:35] now I'm just back to a login loop [12:35] anyone got any ideas for my original issue? Haha [12:36] ashiq-ak: ok, make a live usb, see if it works [12:36] By deleting the windows partition and using the entire disk EriC^^ [12:37] Okay. Will be back! EriC^^ [12:37] ashiq-ak: ok, so you did not use any special efi or git drivers etc. to make it boot? [12:37] no. Just using F12 key EriC^^ [12:38] ok [12:38] 10 min i will be back EriC^^ [12:38] ok [12:39] thank you so much for helping me EriC^^ [12:39] Also does anyone have any idea how to fix this debian grub and login screen :\ [12:39] np [12:39] Validus, not sure what you mean by that what makes you think it's debian? [12:39] Hi, i have a acer laptop and i want to update bios. But, bios load only availibe for Windows, I mean *.exe. Is there any variants for bios update without Windows? [12:39] its got a debian logo on it :P [12:39] probably just a theme or something, no idea how I got it [12:39] Validus how did it get there in the first place [12:40] dunno, I did so much last night to try and get my system working again, it could be anything [12:41] I've run a lot of apt-get upgrades and stuff, not sure if that would pull something like that down? [12:41] Validus: did you install the package "desktop-base"? [12:41] lshkn, this page may be helpful https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate [12:42] dpkg says its installed [12:42] I assume I must had done [12:42] I guess so [12:42] can I just do a sudo apt-get remove on that? [12:42] wafflejock, thanks! [12:43] Validus: try it and see if it wants to remove additional packages [12:44] Just ran it, seems to have fixed me grub but can't get to the login screen now. This is probably the reason I installed it. [12:44] Validus is this useful sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth [12:45] MonkeyDust: its come up with a 2 choices [12:46] auto mode and manual mode, I assume I want auto [12:46] Validus proceed [12:46] ok, I'll give it a reboot [12:47] hmm so I still have the debian style login screen but grub is fixed [12:47] Guys I have Ubuntu14.04LTs, GT640M + Intel GPU card laptop. I wanted to install cuda and NVIDIA drivers (331binary). I guess I succesfully did, since I can run CUDa samples and device query returns my gpu. Also lsmod shows nvidia module. However I can't start lightdm anymore, it says "job failed", I can't boot GUI, is there any easy fix for this? [12:47] cylonmath: welcome to the club of failing Nvidia drivers. [12:48] Validus try this sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm [12:48] MonkeyDust: didn't do anything after restarting lightdm [12:48] it has seemed to remove the background wallpaper though :s [12:50] cylonmath: do you have to have the Nvidia drivers rather than the default? === Senj__ is now known as Senji [12:51] cylonmath: There are some log files in /var/log/lightdm I believe, that might give you a more descriptive message [12:51] Validus, for the CUDA support you need the proprietary version [12:51] Validus, I can't speak for Ubuntu, but on Debian I found it necessary -- the noveau drivers made the GPU idle at 92C. The proprietary drivers fixed that. Could be a similar issue here. [12:52] Wait, actually, on Lubuntu the same happened. [12:52] So, yeah. [12:52] fair enough, installing them here has caused a world of trouble. [12:52] Your mileage varies, I guess. [12:52] hey can anyone here give me some help? [12:52] yeah standard nix [12:52] Gl33D star with a question [12:53] start* [12:53] im running ubuntu and have installed the windows version of steam via play on linux and pointed steam to my steam library on my external hard drive but whenever i start any game it comes up with "unknown error" [12:54] Gl33D: probably best to never play a game from an external hard drive anyway, the data rate over USB isn't quick enough. [12:54] Validus, not even USB 3? [12:54] the only game that gets passed that is MW2 but that just gives me a video card error [12:54] the windows version of steam, not the linux version of steam? [12:54] it works fine in windows [12:54] Gl33D, my guess would be playonlinux doesn't have all the windows dependencies needed to run the games [12:55] yeah there is no linux version of the games i want to play [12:55] USB3 is plenty fast for things like that; I run entire virtual machines off a USB3 drive. [12:55] have you tried wine? [12:55] Gl33D, typically I believe Wine is the answer if there is oen [12:55] wine is play on linux [12:55] one* [12:55] well I think the other way around maybe [12:55] playonlinux is wine with some OOTB configs for each game [12:55] PlayOnLinux is a graphical front-end for the Wine software compatibility layer which allows Linux users to install Windows-based video games [12:55] i think your issue is the partition on your extended hdd, NTFS? [12:55] The More You Know! RAINBOW [12:55] just installing Steam through it doesn't guarentee that every individual game in your Steam library will play [12:56] Some games have no compatibility at all [12:56] oh the only games i really want working is ARMA 3 GTA v and Call of DUty Advanced Warfare [12:56] Gl33D, good to search here https://appdb.winehq.org/ [12:56] https://appdb.winehq.org/ [12:56] you might be out of luck with how recent they are [12:56] too slow [12:56] dammit so should i just install windows on another drive in my pc> [12:57] Gl33D: I found this that might be useful https://gist.github.com/BeauBouchard/c496fcd231c3d06fced5 [12:57] Gl33D: I'd run a VM before doing that, imho [12:57] Gl33D: The only way to get 100% compatibility with Windows programs is to use Windows [12:57] Gl33D, I have my desktop dual boot still so I can play some games on Win without hassle, some things have been coming over to linux I like too though like KSP and borderlands [12:57] test [12:57] jfg, successful. [12:57] Yeah I just dual boot for games [12:57] can a VM run games i know thats a thing on mac (i think) [12:58] it can [12:58] but probably not well [12:58] Gl33D: I don't see why not; just make sure it picks up the necessary hardware (GPU, enough memory assigned, cores, etc.) [12:58] don't think you get graphics card passthrough at least not with VBox [12:58] wafflejock: Oh? [12:58] The virtual graphics drivers might not be good enough [12:58] you get a virtual driver [12:58] even with xen? [12:58] I think maybe VMWare or some other ones might do it [12:58] Hm. [12:58] not sure [12:59] http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/1214 [12:59] i know people used to use vm's on mac to get windows games working? i know my friend used to [12:59] mint but the same [12:59] Gl33D: it all depends on the game [12:59] I know the guys on the jupiter broadcasting show were complaining about it for video editing [12:59] and the hardware resources it needs [12:59] isnt mint based on ubuntu? so surely it sould work [12:59] don't assume that [13:00] how come? [13:00] Gl33D mint is too different from ubuntu [13:00] ubuntu is based on debian and the guides don't always match one for one [13:00] its worth a shot [13:00] xen is probably you best virtual machine env to try it in [13:00] Hi nixers! I'm moving to a bigger HDD and I need some help. I want to multi-boot different OSs. I want to clean install Win7, somehow migrate my current Ubuntu setup, and install Arch. What do? [13:00] yeah ill try now [13:01] !clone | vervoid for ubuntu [13:01] vervoid for ubuntu: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can use the !software package "apt-clone" - See also !automate [13:01] vervoid: have you looked at docker for arch/ubuntu at the same time? [13:01] remove one dualboot? [13:01] I don't know what you're trying to do with arch so it may not be good for you [13:02] plytro, if you do that are they sharing a kernel? [13:02] plytro, if so is that a problem? [13:02] not really [13:02] yes they share a kernel [13:02] I run nearly everything in docker instances on my home server now [13:02] Thanks everyone! Should I install windows first? [13:02] !clone [13:02] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can use the !software package "apt-clone" - See also !automate [13:03] plytro, but ubuntu will be fine with a newer kernel if arch is the base or vice versa? [13:03] the host holds the kernel version [13:03] right so I'm saying though does it matter which one is host? [13:03] I am running ubuntu 15.04 docker instances on a 14.04 host without problem [13:03] I've only run ubuntu with docker instance of ubuntu too [13:03] and a debian jessie instance with a 14.04 host [13:04] does iscsi target work in ubuntu 15.04? [13:04] vervoid yes, 'first win, then lin' ... windows would ruin the grub menu [13:05] And grub2 is okay for arch+windows+ubuntu? [13:05] jessie runs 3.18, 14.04 runs 3.13, unsure what 15.04 runs out of the box [13:05] bollacks my intel CPU dosent support VT-D wich is required for direct I/O virtualisation (assentially getting my graphics card running fully in a VM) so im screwed i will have to install windows on a seperate drive [13:05] it 'works' on my 14.04 box until something connects to it, then my entire system semi-hangs until i hard reset it, by semi-hangs i mean guis etc is responsive, but no external connections are possible, and from an ssh/console session "shutdown -h now" fails to shut the system down [13:05] yes [13:06] Gl33D: what cpu do you have? [13:06] with windows / debian / centos o nthe same hardware, i dont have the same problem [13:06] Intel Core i3-4150 [13:06] Gl33D drop the profanities, it's not the first time you're using them [13:06] profanities? [13:06] Thats just what it says on the box xD [13:06] wait [13:07] i read that wrong [13:07] And with "apt-clone" do I need to use a same sized partition? [13:07] Gl33D: cat /proc/cpuinfo [13:07] i never said any "profranities" [13:07] right [13:08] harry@GuessWho:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo [13:08] processor : 0 [13:08] vendor_id : GenuineIntel [13:08] cpu family : 6 [13:08] model : 60 [13:08] model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4150 CPU @ 3.50GHz [13:08] use paste.ubuntu.com for multiline [13:08] Gl33D use a !pastebin for multiple lines [13:09] http://pastebin.com/fdeF5wmB [13:09] there [13:09] you have vmx [13:09] and that is? [13:10] i am randomly getting slow internet on my ubuntu box. anyone know a good way to boil down why this is happening? [13:10] http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/linux-tip-how-to-tell-if-your-processor-supports-vt/ [13:10] when i boot into a windows drive i dont get any of the same issues [13:11] on the same device [13:11] TechMonger: you could run iptraf-ng [13:11] and watch your traffic [13:11] it gets boring though [13:11] let ping run continuously to a know lan IP and see if you get any long response times [13:11] techmonger What internet card do you have? [13:11] also run one against your isps dns server [13:11] its internal [13:11] on a dell [13:12] and one against 8.8.8.8 [13:12] where do i find information about my net card? [13:12] Does anybody run 3 monitors at once on ubuntu here??/ [13:12] Could it be a intel wifi link 5100 agn? [13:12] Because I had similar problems with that [13:12] ping seems to work fine [13:13] Are you running windows right now? [13:13] no [13:13] Ubuntu? [13:13] yea [13:13] i just had to restart tho [13:13] bc every thing got slow then froze [13:13] Gl33D, the processor will be able to be used directly but that doesn't include the gpu there's some discussion about it here http://askubuntu.com/questions/202926/how-to-use-nvidia-geforce-m310-on-ubuntu-12-10-running-as-guest-in-virtualbox === elysium is now known as elysium^away [13:14] it happens randomly... at least to me. thats why i would like to find the trigger... if there is one [13:14] use this: lspci | grep -i net [13:14] in terminal [13:14] TechMonger: you need a ping to run all the time [13:14] when things get slow see if ping is ok [13:14] we have a problem at work [13:14] random slowness [13:15] im using an r9 270x i think the r9 2xx series is just a rebranded 7xxx series (from memory of when i tried to hackintosh this machine) [13:15] it occurs for about 10 minutes once or twice a day [13:15] ok... ill try all of this [13:15] I have a terminal open continously pinging the dns server in the office [13:15] when things get slow my response times go up to 5000ms+ [13:15] then 10 minutes later ping looks fine again [13:15] this is windows and linux both though [13:16] Gl33D, yeah the passthrough is described here but requires some particular hardware apparently http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#pcipassthrough [13:16] they're trying to troubleshoot at the AP level [13:16] oh sorry [13:16] 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM57788 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 01) [13:16] 03:06.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) [13:16] that's just a fancy name for the VT-d [13:16] or vmx you verified is available [13:17] l found these [13:17] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=881903 [13:17] http://linux-bsd-sharing.blogspot.hu/2012/03/howto-enabling-broadcom-bcm4318.html [13:17] http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-wireless-networking-41/how-to-for-the-bcm4318-airforce-one-card-473194/ [13:17] http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=96604 [13:18] 上进心 [13:18] my card is compatible with pci pasthrough (i think) because the 7870 is compatible and the r9 270x is a rebranded 7870 [13:18] OMG how unfortunate i am. My Desktop just broke while copying to my usb :( strange. Is there anything that i can download to make live usb (small size) EriC^^ [13:18] [13:18] ashiq-ak puppy is small [13:19] ashiq-ak: what do you mean by broke? [13:19] Gl33D, yeah I take back what I said there, apparently from this documentation you just need the VT-d support and a new enough kernel with the right flags set, the kernel should be new enough just not sure if the flags are set for ubuntu's build if so looks like you can just use that VBoxManage command to attach a device [13:19] EriC^^ its not turning on! [13:20] ashiq-ak: try to remove the line to the power supply and turn the power supply's button on off [13:20] my cpu dosent have VT-d support but does support VMX [13:20] brb guys [13:21] i have no idea what this iptraf-ng is doing [13:21] anyone know what I could try to troubleshoot why my bridged network connection drops out after ~5-60 seconds? It works when I first establish the connection but then stops. Also it Ubuntu as a guest os in VMWare Workstation 11. I can still access my host computer, but not the internet after the initial connection drops out [13:21] will fix that later. thanks for the advice though :) EriC^^ [13:21] Let me make a live usb first! EriC^^ [13:22] ok, there are iso's at releases.ubuntu.com [13:22] rory validus: yes... I gotta use them for my research. And I tried dpkg-reconfigure, didnt help. lightdm.log says "lightdm process 2084 exited with return value 127" and then display server stoped. [13:22] rory validus, not proud to be part of nvidia failers club :} [13:23] cylonmath, yeah I got the OpenCL stuff working to run Agisoft but it took a few trial runs and failures so can't really clearly guide ya [13:23] bk [13:24] so is it possible to get my Graphics card working in a VM? [13:24] even if my cpu dosent support vt-d [13:25] it would appear to be no [13:26] dammit [13:26] so is a windows partition my only hope [13:27] http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#pcipassthrough <-- this has VT-d as a requirement so if we're missing that piece it probably isn't going to work, so if you can't find the games in WineHQ and get their dependencies running then for running games compiled for Windows that's going to be the best option probably [13:28] ah ok :( looks like its off to install windows for me thanks for the help guys! [13:28] Gl33D drop the d*** [13:29] what?? [13:29] Gl33D this : Gl33D> dammit [13:29] really? [13:29] seriously [13:29] wow [13:29] sorry i didnt reallise [13:30] that is profane? [13:30] shit man I hear that in normal meetings at work all the time [13:31] Heya I have serious problems trying to install linux on my computer. anyone can help? [13:31] whats the problems [13:32] why the hell dont i have gparted installed? [13:32] Ubuntu cant detect any existing operating system. Ive tried to use fixparts but I cant get a grip on how it works and how I should fix it. I have windows 7 already installed. [13:32] is it on the same drive? [13:32] Hey guys, I'm trying to get the list of security updates for a specific package. The following page errors out when searching (for instance linux-image): http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/ [13:32] Yes [13:33] are there any other hard drives plugged in [13:33] No [13:33] Anyone have an idea on how to get a list of the security updates for a package? [13:33] hmm? what is it detecting when it asks you where to install ubuntu [13:33] "This computer currently has no detected operating systems. What would you like?" --erase disk and install ubuntu. Doesnt detect anything [13:33] Check ur Private message. EriC^^ [13:34] hmm thats weird is the windows install a standerd install? or has it been modified in any way [13:34] standard install normally [13:34] weird im stumped tbh maybe someone else here can help you [13:35] Hmm alright thanks anyways [13:39] daharon: apt-cache policy ? [13:39] hello [13:41] plytro: I'm already upgrading packages with security updates automatically. I'm just trying to find the USN/CVE that explains the security vulnerabilities that were known in all the kernels versions I am currently running. So I have a list of package-version, and I want to correlate it with vulnerabilities. [13:44] Right I suppose I'm going to try and get myself out of this login loop [13:46] In a single-socket, hex-core, hyper-threaded system, should NUMA support be disabled in kernel?

Version 2.0.10-1ubuntu2.1 (vivid), package size 21 kB, installed size 95 kB [13:47] its standard Delicates [13:49] bazhang: I'm talking about kernel configuration [13:51] As an aside TV packages are such a rip off [13:52] ifconfig -a shows I have a eth1, but it's not configured, what do I do? Right now I can't just go `ifup eth1` [13:52] please take that discussion to the offtopic channel Validus [13:52] lol sorry [13:54] are there any helpful monitoring tools to see why my connection is dropping? The actual connection is still connected but i lose internet connection shortly after initially establishing it (like within a minute) [13:55] has anyone got any suggestions as to why I'm not able to get past my login screen? It looks like it goes to login but then takes me back to the login screen [13:56] I've checked .Xauthority is owned by me, reinstalled lightdm and checked /tmp is rwx for everyone [13:56] these seem to be the standard issues [14:02] hi guy [14:05] jbv: I had this before. In Windows 7, do a boot-time chkdsk on all your volumes, and then once that completes, reboot once again [14:05] jbv: you have to reboot again into Windows, before you can do the Ubuntu install. At least that's what I found. [14:06] Hi guys, I want to ssh into my computer remotely, and run a script which takes a long time to complete [14:06] jbv: There was a sensible reason why this works, but I can't remember what it was; it was a while ago. [14:06] I want this script to run, and persist, beyond the length of the ssh connection [14:06] Is this possible? [14:06] Anthaas: Look into "screen" or "tmux" [14:06] Anthaas: yes, use screen [14:06] Anthaas: They are terminal multiplexers [14:06] Anthaas: run "screen", then run your script [14:06] Ahhh thanks [14:06] Anthaas: Then next time you connect you can do "screen -dr" and it will reconnect you to the screen session [14:07] Is it possible to allow the SSH connection to use all the resources available to the machine? [14:07] I recommend tmux [14:07] the config file is more sane [14:07] Anthaas: What do you mean? [14:07] i.e. is there some limit as to the resources available through an SSH connection? [14:07] no [14:07] Ahhh good :D [14:07] Thanks! [14:07] Ill look into screen and tmux now [14:07] I converted from screen to tmux about 2 years ago [14:07] hi someone know how to set Shadowsocks? [14:07] I converted from screen to tmux as well [14:07] side note can you lock in tmux? [14:08] but screen comes with most distros. tmux doesn't [14:08] http://pastebin.com/iZGi3ay5 [14:08] tmux has been in debian based distros for at least 5 years [14:08] when I run the SS ,it's show me that socket.error: [Errno 99] Cannot assign requested address [14:09] EriC^^: lock how? [14:09] like Ctrl-A x on screen [14:09] yeah [14:10] So, just to confirm, I install screen on my local machine, connect to my remote machine, run my script, and I can shut my local machine down, and the task continues to complete on the remote machine? [14:10] Anthaas: screen has to be installed on the remote machine [14:10] Ahhhh [14:10] after you start screen, run the command, then press ctrl+a then press d to detach [14:10] Anthaas: screen and ssh are separate beasts here [14:11] screen -ls lists the sessions, screen -r to resume [14:11] earlier someone told me to remove ubuntu-desktop, what's the reason for that? [14:11] Validus: What was the context, why did you need to remove that? [14:12] Validus: ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage, that is, it contains no binaries of its own, but it depends on a number of other packages (in this case, all the packages that come installed) [14:12] Validus: removing it won't remove those dependencies though [14:12] Is there any performance overhead on the script with using screen? [14:12] So I have two issues, one is my login screen looks like a debian login, and two I am in a login loop I.E i'm loging in and just getting put back at the login screen [14:12] Anthaas: No [14:12] It is performance sensitive [14:12] Ahhh thanks [14:12] I think they were trying to fix the first issue [14:12] which they go rid of the debian grub theme [14:12] *got [14:13] they might have got you to RE install it [14:13] IMO you should install it again [14:13] ok [14:14] so is it strange for apt-get update to be going to debian servers? [14:14] Validus, do you have debian repos on that [14:14] Anthaas: http://www.pixelbeat.org/lkdb/screen.html [14:15] I may have added them in my battle last night, but before then I would have just had the default. [14:15] Validus, never do that [14:15] EriC^^: tmux does have locking in its man page http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi/OpenBSD-current/man1/tmux.1?query=tmux&sec=1 [14:15] I'm just wondering if that is the reason for my login screen looking like debian as a apt-get upgrade may install them. [14:15] Validus, let's see: more /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit [14:15] Right, thats my script running - thanks guys [14:15] how do I see if my repo list is different? [14:15] Needed to run my benchmark on a remote machine, but am at a conference currently. [14:16] Life savers! [14:16] cat /etc/apt/sources.list and see Validus [14:16] http://termbin.com/i5kg [14:16] That would do it I suppose [14:16] should I just make that empty? [14:17] Validus: I run etckeeper to be able to find out if things change [14:17] Validus, why would you ever add debian repos [14:17] time for reinstall :-) [14:17] tbh, I was trying to fix this last night after a few beers so probably just a noob move [14:18] so should that sources.list be completely empty? [14:19] yo [14:19] Validus, you might consider rebuilding/replacing your sources.list http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/index.php [14:19] thanks cfhowlett [14:19] are there any userland programs for modifying the behaviour of my trackpad? [14:19] eg defining 'zones' that one can disable during/just after typing, etc?

[14:28] (Question) [14:28] How can I get my built in subwoofer (laptop) to work? [14:28] !anitvirus | PanV [14:28] !antivirus | PanV [14:28] PanV, please see my private message [14:28] PanV: no. ubuntu doesnt work with that sort of "simulated security" [14:28] Do I need an antivirus? [14:28] Live USB created. EriC^^ [14:29] PanV: no [14:29] ashiq-ak: ok, make sure try ubuntu works, then go to the bios and press reset bios to defaults, then save and exit [14:29] PanV: dont install stuff you dont know its safe and run the updates from ubuntu regulary [14:29] ashiq-ak: it might not boot ubuntu anymore so use the live usb to get back here [14:30] Thank you for your advice. But I need the antivirus for one thing. [14:30] PanV, stay off the dark net, avoid sketchy sites, enable firewall, keep security and browsers updated and you should be find for the most part [14:30] My Windows got screwed up recently [14:30] PanV, what's that to do with ubuntu? [14:30] Its the other partition [14:30] already done some hours before when i was trying fix myself :p . need to do it again? EriC^^ [14:30] and I am kinda worrying [14:30] 2 reasons: GRUB broke my windows OR Trojans [14:31] So I dont know.. [14:31] PanV: then use clamav to scan the windows partition. but you will need to reinstall windows then anyway [14:31] panv so far as we know, virii don't jump from partition to partition. they're not fleas. [14:31] hello all [14:31] cfhowlett, ok then [14:31] I have a quick question if someone can assist [14:31] ashiq-ak: ok, give it a shot, make sure the bios is fully reset and if there are any power settings [14:31] kll_ I want to back up all my files from the other partition, but I dont know if it is safe. (C:/Users) [14:32] how do I put something onto my clipboard in the terminal? [14:32] its puppy linux slacho 5.7 live usb . its enough right? [14:32] Thats why I really need to sort this [14:32] out [14:32] EriC^^ [14:32] PanV, ask ##windows about backing up windows stuff [14:32] How can I get my built in subwoofer (laptop) to work?

[14:33] 2 reasons: GRUB broke my windows OR Trojans << why should grub brake it? [14:33] kIl_ since this happened around the time I installed Ubuntu [14:34] PanV: grub doesnt change windows. (or is it a wubi install?) [14:34] (Not a Wubi Install, I was aware of the problems) [14:34] The bootloader? [14:34] tos-1: cheers however I don't have either of them install [14:35] and I can't do an apt-get as I'm trying to sort my sources list :P [14:35] so there is nothing that grub brakes on the windows side. only thing is you need to make sure grub points to the right windows partition to boot [14:35] chickeen and egg problem here [14:35] or can i rm -f Liv.09.rar?????

[14:49] leox5+gtx750+vivid+k4 monitor == :-( ? [14:49] tomhank: rm ~/Desktop/..... [14:50] you / a the beginning means start at the root of the disk [14:50] the ~ means start at your home dir root [14:50] http://termbin.com/gi4v [14:50] EriC^^ Sorry for the delay [14:50] very nice trying to delete now i keep getting no such directory should i use sudo? [14:50] cfhowlett: http://askubuntu.com/questions/412621/function-volume-keys-get-stuck-volume-raises-to-max-min-rapidly [14:50] rory: you know you said to install ubuntu-desktop? My login screen no longer comes up and I can't seem to get to a terminal [14:50] tomhank: no [14:50] AlexPortable vacuum cleaner is unrivalled when it comes to keyboard cleaning [14:50] cfhowlett: I just found this. seems to be this issue i think [14:50] EriC^^ [14:51] http://termbin.com/gi4v [14:51] tomhank: dont just use sudo just because you dont know what the issue is. that is going to make more trouble [14:51] MonkeyDust: not when the hardware is just unboxed [14:51] ashiq-ak: oh ok, you're using legacy not uefi [14:51] AlexPortable, try the fix and report back. I'm curious. [14:51] nice i got it to delelete thanks guys [14:51] MonkeyDust: and the keyboard gets dirty after booting to ubuntu, and then a reboot to windows and then it's fine [14:51] tomhank: do you use tab-completion? [14:51] how about for a mp3 file that uses spaces fill the spaces with _? [14:51] Oh I see EriC^^ [14:51] use tab [14:51] Validus, rary asked you if you installed desktop-core, and with the 1st part of removal you could see what it deletes also .. that is the point where you didn't answer [14:51] rory* [14:52] Some people are saying I am not supported here ? EriC^^ [14:52] cfhowlett: only thing i wonder is where is the file sudo nano 85-keyboard-configuration.rules [14:52] otherwise it is rm artist\ name\ -\ song\ name\ is\ really\ long.mp3 [14:52] AlexPortable, should be in your /home I would think [14:52] ashiq-ak: the people here only support vanilla ubuntu [14:52] its not [14:53] xubuntu and other flavors aren't supported [14:53] OerHeks: Nah he just told me to re-install it as I had removed it [14:53] me too supports vanilla ubuntu ;) [14:53] !flavors | ashiq-ak, if your're using one of these, you're supported. if not, sorry. [14:53] ashiq-ak, if your're using one of these, you're supported. if not, sorry.: !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu. [14:53] plytro: that is false. flavors are supported in here [14:53] it makes the support matrix too big [14:53] some people are cool and try to help [14:53] others just say "sorry not supported here" [14:53] my search of the chat only seems to show you mentioning desktop-core [14:53] well it has spaces how do i put a space in terminal when deleting a file [14:53] ashiq-ak: which ideapad do you have? [14:54] maybe you can hard reset it somehow [14:54] LOL plytro [14:54] tomaw, sudo rm 'this file name with spaces.mp3' note the use of ' ' [14:54] s300 EriC^^ [14:54] tomhank: I told you [14:54] OerHeks: I don't have desktop-core installed btw [14:54] foo\ bar [14:55] cfhowlett: somehow it seems to freeze keyboard input all together when I press the fn keys [14:55] escape with \ [14:55] . [14:55] i see so every space \ thank you [14:55] plytro, non-official ubuntu flavors are not supported here. if YOU choose to provide support anyway, please do so in a /msg box outside of main channel. thank you. [14:55] should I install desktop-core? [14:56] tomhank: tab completion to see how things works on the cli is helpful [14:56] AlexPortable, might be reported in your logs somewhere. try running dmesg and read the output [14:56] you can see what the shell does [14:56] cfhowlett: i have to reboot every time [14:56] dont the logs get wiped then? [14:56] every time i fn+volumekey, i cant open menus or type anything [14:56] ashiq-ak: you already tried to remove the battery and hold the power button for 10 secs right? [14:56] thanks everyone got my computer to finally boot up the data was too full to boot as always thanks everyone [14:56] AlexPortable, on liveboot? yes. on normal install? nope [14:56] ok [14:56] normla install [14:56] Validus, good luck with that, you messed up your system, added debian stuff, i suggest do a fresh install, as any step can give you issues now [14:57] ahh! ive installed windows 10 on a second drive and now i cant boot into linux! what do i do! [14:57] Validus, clean install +1 [14:57] Gl33D: boot from a live image and reinstall grub [14:57] Alright, probably easier in the long run anyway [14:58] aight [14:58] i did like remove battery, unplugged power chord, and holding power button for 40 sec. for all lenovo's to reset CMOS this is the way "says some site EriC^^" [14:58] EriC^^ [14:58] should I stick with 14.04 or go to 15? [14:58] cfhowlett: can't find aynthing in dmesg about it, because its flooded with other stuff [14:59] 14.04 works better with graphics drivers [14:59] ashiq-ak: try to remove the power plug and type upower --dump | nc termbin.com 9999 [14:59] ill brb 1 sec [14:59] Validus: With 14.04 [14:59] ok thanks [14:59] well whenever i installed them on 15.04 mt install crashed but didnt on 14.04 LTS [14:59] AlexPortable, should be one of the more recent entries [14:59] http://termbin.com/rm1h [14:59] EriC^^ [15:00] brb 1 sec means? is that meant for me? EriC^^ [15:00] cfhowlett: wlan links becomes ready [15:00] yes im back :D [15:00] ashiq-ak: usually how long does the battery last? [15:01] cfhowlett: modifier keys keep working, but the rest of the keyboard doesn't [15:01] so I need to get this to work and my subwoofer [15:01] AlexPortable, this is as laptop/desktop? [15:01] it could be that the battery is used to charging til 59% and its showing that as maximum cause it says 3hours til discharge [15:01] laptop [15:01] show 59% percent and time remaining as 1.45 and all of a sudden like after 10 -15 mins to 6 %. EriC^^ [15:01] got the touchpad to work though [15:01] ashiq-ak: i read on a site that that happens, and leaving the battery fully drain or something helps [15:02] ashiq-ak: hmm, type upower --dump | nc termbin.com 9999 again [15:02] saw something similar EriC^^ [15:02] without plugging power source? EriC^^ [15:02] cfhowlett: laptop [15:02] yes ashiq-ak [15:02] keep it unplugged for a bit [15:03] AlexPortable, just a thought: try an external keyboard [15:03] that's a pretty cute pastebin site—is netcat standard on Ubuntu? [15:03] then type upower [15:03] cfhowlett: and see if it works there [15:03] artois: yeah [15:03] nice [15:03] and wget, right? But not curl? [15:03] both wget and curl [15:04] cfhowlett: works fine there [15:04] oh really, real nice [15:04] i think debian doesn't have curl by default [15:04] AlexPortable, "there" = external keyboard? [15:04] cfhowlett: yes [15:04] a fair amount don't, even though it's wonderfulness [15:04] Lets make Ubuntu AI [15:04] yeah [15:04] arch has curl by default but no wget [15:04] it'd be nice if we could get all distros to have a preinstalled 'pastebin' wrapper with certain standardized behavior, regardless of backend [15:04] AlexPortable, well, that suggest your keyboard isn't quite configured properly. [15:04] cfhowlett: how can i fix it? [15:04] debian also doenst have sudo by default [15:04] !keyboard | AlexPortable [15:04] AlexPortable: To switch your keyboard layout on GNOME: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard | KDE: System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout | XFCE: Settings -> Settings Manager -> Keyboard, Layout [15:05] http://termbin.com/xenw [15:05] EriC^^ [15:05] AlexPortable, err, no [15:05] MonkeyDust: not really sure anyone _should_ have sudo by default, but yeah, darned discrepancies [15:05] it says something about repeat keys cn28h [15:05] cfhowlett: * [15:05] AlexPortable, do a search for ubuntu + multimedia + function keys [15:05] Hope this helpshttp://paste.ubuntu.com/11986973/ [15:05] EriC^^ [15:05] ashiq-ak: ok, i guess the 59% is correct, it's supposed to last for like 3 hours or so right? [15:05] Hope this helpshttp://paste.ubuntu.com/11986973/ EriC^^ [15:05] AlexPortable, I've no idea about that error [15:05] cfhowlett: its not an error thats what comes up [15:06] AlexPortable is this useful sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration [15:06] yeah. manufactures say it lasts for more than 4 hours. EriC^^ [15:07] MonkeyDust: what should i set it to? its not on 105-keys (international) PC [15:07] Sorry that link was wrong http://paste.ubuntu.com/11986973/ EriC^^ Please take a look at the mAh values. [15:08] AlexPortable to whatever suits your keyboard [15:08] MonkeyDust: how can i find out whatever suits my keyboard? [15:10] MonkeyDust: cfhowlett reconfigured the keyboard, keys still dont work properly [15:10] should i reboot for the changes to apply? [15:11] AlexPortable, http://askubuntu.com/questions/159857/function-key-on-my-acer-laptop-is-always-pressed [15:11] cfhowlett: thats not the issue [15:11] cfhowlett: that's when you press f11 and it does volume down [15:11] instead of fn+f11 for volume down [15:12] this is I press fn+f11 (volume down) once, and it keeps holding it === Rudench is now known as Shnaw [15:12] AlexPortable, sorry. officially over my head then.

EriC^^ [15:17] MonkeyDust: shoulkd i reboot after sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration ? [15:17] ashiq-ak: yeah [15:17] AlexPortable find "armada" in the list, it's there "(e.g. armada)" [15:18] its not [15:18] AlexPortable no, i use it all the time, no reboot required [15:18] armada? What's that [15:18] oh [15:18] * cfhowlett wonders why my 30 key laptop is configure as PC 105 / [15:18] AlexPortable scroll down to "laptop/notebook Compaq" [15:19] keyboard layout, english (us) or english (us) with dead keys via altgr? [15:19] what are dead keys? [15:19] Is this because of that wrong data? EriC^^ [15:20] AlexPortable: when you tap a modifier and then another key to get a different char than the default [15:20] AlexPortable: used more often outside of the anglosphere [15:20] so i should select dead keys? [15:20] like alt gr + 5 = € [15:20] AlexPortable: for what, us int? [15:20] yes [15:20] i can select us int or us int with dead keys via altgr [15:20] if there's no option that just says 'us international', that might be it, yeah [15:21] ah, um [15:21] EriC^^ : What this says?? http://askubuntu.com/questions/139202/how-can-i-reset-the-battery-statistics-for-the-powermanager [15:21] try one, then try the other =) [15:21] if you already know you want to use alt gr, then that's probably the one you want [15:21] well thats how it always is [15:21] alt gr is for ³¤€¼½¾‘’¥× [15:21] ?

Can I move GRUB to the Linux partition, use the Windows bootloader to select an OS, and can I then upgrade Windows while keeping my Ubuntu system working? Any positive experiences? :) [16:37] ashiq-ak_: try powertop [16:38] powertop ? whats that? EriC^^ [16:38] ashiq-ak_: a program [16:38] CompuChip: that's pretty odd [16:39] EriC^^: Which part of it? :) [16:39] CompuChip: you can't move grub to the linux partition, it's in the mbr [16:39] the part where windows refuses to upgrade cause grub is in the mbr [16:39] CompuChip: what did windows complain about exactly? [16:39] EriC^^: It is an EFI partition, so I guess Windows does not like that it doesn't own the MBR anymore or something. It keeps rolling back one of the upgrades. [16:40] if it's an efi partition then the mbr is pretty irrelevant [16:40] you should just have an ubuntu dir inside the efi partition, and your bios is set to boot ubuntu's efi file [16:40] ciao [16:41] _diego_: I might try adding the xorg-edgers PPA and updating the video drivers to what they have available [16:41] EriC^^: Sorry before I got this laptop I had never heard of EFI before. I just installed GRUB to /dev/sda as that seemed to make sense. I don't really understand EFI tbh. But I read that using the windows bootloader to select an OS gives Windows less issues. [16:42] CompuChip: i think it's pretty much the same thing, you chainload the windows .efi file from grub [16:42] hi [16:42] genii: you would need to update the kernel and see if the drm error still occurs [16:42] EriC^^, How to install and use it? Also now take look at these. http://termbin.com/juxp -time to full? why so? its just 26% now. also when i convert Wh rating to mAh, it shows same output as acpi. [16:43] EriC^^: I was thinking of just grub-install-ing to /dev/sdaX and then using Windows Restore or something to restore the Windows bootloader.

[16:45] EriC^^: And then if I upgrade Windows 8 to 10 I will need the live ubuntu again, right? [16:45] EriC^^: Yes [16:45] yeah you'll need the live ubuntu, to chroot and grub-install / update-grub [16:46] saw my message? EriC^^ [16:46] you want to do it now? [16:46] ashiq-ak_: sudo apt-get install powertop [16:46] EriC^^: And then I grub-install it back to /dev/sda right? Where it is now. [16:46] saw my stats now?

EriC^^ [16:51] sudo powertop [16:52] EriC^^, I got it now. bios is providing the wrong values. need to update bios. but how i don't know. [16:52] ashiq-ak_: that link says they fixed it in a bios upgrade, but you need win7 or maybe win8 or so to install it === christmascookiei is now known as sireebob [16:53] hmm EriC^^ [16:53] Thanks for ur valuable time. EriC^^ [16:54] powertop just shows some stats.. thats it? EriC^^ [16:54] yeah [16:54] no problem [16:55] ashiq-ak_: Valuable stats. And it can configure some power options. [16:55] now 46% hope it won't get stuck agin at 59% and don't drain battery fast :( EriC^^ [16:56] The most valuable statistic is how much power your system is drawing when on battery.

(Why the --force though?) [16:59] lordievader: no clue, that's what it does by default when doing the install from that ncurses interface (I hopped to TTY4 and saw the log) [17:00] AppAraat: IIRC you get a question where to install grub. [17:02] it asks whether I want to install it to the MBR, so I say yes. But since the USB stick is loaded as /dev/sda it thinks that it has MBR. [17:03] the disk I'm installing to is /dev/sdb [17:03] wat [17:03] grub-install: not found [17:04] is this thing for real? [17:04] AppAraat: Chroot into your install. [17:04] It is likely there then. [17:05] AppAraat: I find the gui installer to be quite lacking [17:05] but there is no real good alternative for the desktop packages [17:05] to automatically come in === dearn_ is now known as dearn [17:06] hi, firefox in ubuntu crashing very often ... [17:06] lordievader: where do I find my install though? [17:06] quite lacking is too strong [17:06] I find it lacking [17:06] plytro: it does what it does for me (mostly). I also don't really configure all that much in terms of paritioning. [17:07] AppAraat: Look through mount? Or mount it yourself. [17:07] lordievader: I don't have a lot of experience in this. Do you mean mount /dev/sdb in my case and chroot in there? [17:08] AppAraat: Have you looked through mount? [17:09] it says /dev/sdb1 on /target [17:09] but also [17:09] AppAraat: There you go ;) [17:09] it says /dev/sdb1 on /dev/.static/dev [17:10] also devtmpfs on /target/dev [17:11] EriC^^, Browsing through some forum I saw many batteries seem to have a lock feature that the Lenovo power management handles. its the issue. need to install windows back and lenovo energy management back to fix it. no other way. :( [17:12] AppAraat: Chroot into /target and see if grub-install is available there. Else install it to the live-cd. [17:12] AppAraat: I run a local approx repo and the gui won't let you select it that I can find [17:12] and i should reset gauge EriC^^ Thanks for ur suggestions though [17:12] so my installs on 5 laptops took 5x as long because each needed to pull to the local network [17:13] ashiq-ak: i see [17:14] Just letting u know EriC^^ [17:14] ashiq-ak: got to do what you got to do i guess [17:14] yeah EriC^^ [17:14] lordievader: isn't livecd read only though?

[17:39] ^ that and make sure that /boot is mounted too if that is a separate partition. [17:39] nope, it's pretty much my 2nd or 3rd time doing chroot.

[17:42] cowbacon : thanks [17:42] EriC^^: I think it is a busybox mount, it didn't find -B apparently. Also sudo is not there. [17:43] dafty: no i haven't bro [17:43] anil: yes, yes you have. [17:44] anil: scroll up :) [17:44] AppAraat: why are you trying to grub-install from a busybox mount? [17:44] dafty: can you tell me how to install adobe flash player again please ??? [17:44] anil: no, you can scroll up and look at the 5 replies you got. [17:44] should we use terminal?? [17:44] AppAraat: can you summarize your problem again real quick? [17:44] EriC^^: you missed it all, the gui wants to install to dev/sda which is mounted as the usb drive [17:44] he needs to install to dev/sdb [17:44] he can't choose sdb in the gui [17:44] dafty: haha wait so [17:45] EriC^^: it is an ubuntu minimal install. But it thinks that the USB stick it is installing from, is /dev/sda and as such is trying to install grub there. I just want to install grub on /dev/sdb. [17:45] he can select the bootloader location in the installer at the bottom [17:45] oh [17:46] sorry I missed the grub part [17:46] that was important [17:46] AppAraat: so what happens if you don't choose to install grub in the installer [17:46] will you get a root shell after the install? [17:46] ( or does it just reboot ) [17:46] I'm not even sure if it will boot, but I'll try and see. [17:47] you could boot from the live usb stick [17:47] daftykins: ping [17:47] and run grub install from that to put grub on sdb I bet.... [17:47] AppAraat: no, i mean once the install is done does it give a root shell or does it reboot, somebody who's used the mini installer might know maybe [17:47] Jamie_1: lo [17:47] yeah if you have a live usb then you're good [17:47] daftykins: i think i know what the problem with the install... just not sure how to fix it [17:48] Jamie_1: oh the gnome3 thing again, yeah just use the other damn kernel it worked with :P [17:48] EriC^^: ah, by default, when installation finishes and grub was installed in the correct place, it reboots and boots into the grub menu. I've also installed the Lubuntu minimal desktop so as such it will go into that DE. [17:48] oh ok [17:48] do you have a live usb? [17:48] validus [17:48] EriC^^: I think so yes. [17:49] daftykins: just changed back and still having it... but i think its a problem with the xserver [17:49] AppAraat: ok, you can chroot from there and install grub [17:50] anyone there? [17:50] if i have this system, i need to re-install ubuntu on /dev/sda5 right? [17:50] http://termbin.com/c0vo [17:50] ah I see. Also when I choose not to install the grub boot loader, it says that I will need to boot manually with the /vmlinuz kernel on partition /dev/sdb1 and root=/dev/sdb1 passed as a kernel argument. [17:51] daftykins: i have gotten the same error report pop up multiple times of the xserver crashing... which would explain quite a few of these problems [17:51] AppAraat: np [17:51] wondering how safe browsing sites that might have malicious (adware - virus - etc) programs it is in linux [17:51] johnson: what? [17:51] its never safe no matter the OS [17:51] Jamie_1: yeah but when one happens it keeps prompting about it because it sits in the same folder [17:52] if you are concerned, use a clean vm that gets reset each time you start it up [17:52] daftykins: i cleared the ext folder that had the report in it and still gotten and error report [17:52] johnson: in reality probably safer than Windows, just because most viruses will be built for Windows. However that doesn't mean Linux is safer just that virus makers are usually aiming to get the biggest number of attacks [17:52] I see [17:52] Jamie_1: dunno, but it's been like a week now and you've not really done much - so as fun as this is... === Tsunami1 is now known as Guest79158 [17:53] Validus: but viruses aren't really the problem anymore [17:53] and you can install clamav [17:53] somehow my windows machine still triggers a lot of malware even after checking for them using adware cleaners [17:53] maliscious j/s code executing in your browser is still bad [17:54] well yeah, but you would hope they are less likely to escape the sandbox. [17:54] daftykins: i know sorry for pretty much playing tag... i found when it started... when i crashed my whole computer playing a game right after swapping the kernal so i could play it... but i will just swap the kernal again and then probably try to reset or install a more reccent xserver... whatever makes it work [17:54] none of the adblockers I have installed in my windows machine detect the malware that's been plaguing it [17:55] games =| [17:55] on a work supplied machine :P [17:55] johnson: what are you browsing to? [17:55] do they detect adds¿ [17:55] torrent [17:55] daftykins: hey im aloud to have some fun from time to time :P [17:56] as plytro said, Javascript is the worst offender when browsing, so you could install noscript [17:56] not on my watch [17:56] that will stop all scripts running on your page. Install adblock plus to stop malicious adverts. [17:57] and that should cut it down a lot. Noscript is quite a pain to get used to though as pretty much every web page will be running scripts [17:57] no antivirus or cleaner or whatever will really protect your now days, as that means the infection is already in and will usually find a place to hide [17:59] Hi.

I am reading the guide at packaging.ubuntu.com and it seems that I have to create an entire repo with all the (copied) source code in order upload a package [19:51] !debian | Validus or at least the repos [19:51] Validus or at least the repos: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/what-is-debian.html - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [19:52] I am supposed to copy the entire source? Can't I just build the package, sign it, and upload it? [19:52] Yeah I know I'm not supposed to install debian packages [19:52] I accidently added a debian source to my source list and things went a little mental. [19:52] Validus, ^_^ [19:53] Thats what you get for trying to fix your machine with a few too many beers :P [19:53] Validus, right ! [19:54] It would be quite cool if there was a way to make snapshots like it if was a VM [19:55] lvm can do that [19:55] Validus it's possible with btrfs [19:55] Validus: why are you reinstalling ubuntu?

[19:57] So yesterday my machine updated, so I rebooted and get a login loop, when trying to fix it I install nvidia drivers which made things worse I also for some reason decided to add a debian source to my source list which downloaded loads of dodgy packages. I was able to get rid of the nvidia driver but I couldn't fix the rest of the mess. [19:57] so I've backed up my /home partition and I'm just going to re-install [19:58] oh, ok [19:58] :) [19:58] haha, if you were like "just run this" I would have been amazed :P [19:58] lol [19:58] but yeah, not really sure why I got a login loop [19:59] my guess would be a graphics driver issue [19:59] yeah thats why I installed the new drivers, but they made things worse. Couldn't even get to the login screen [20:00] sudo apt-get install this ... sudo apt-get install this :((( [20:00] did you try nomodeset? [20:00] nope? [20:01] give it a shot if you get a login loop again [20:01] !nomodeset [20:01] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen.

[20:39] datahood, ah didn't even know legacy grub was still an option,like UNIm95 said you'd want grub2 [20:40] ok [20:40] so whats the sudo command for grub 2...nevermind [20:40] pantato_, do you really want such ancient software? http://transcoder.org/downloads/ [20:41] the real problem is that I installed a 32 bit instead of 64... [20:42] datahood: than you need reinstall you system with liveCD|USB [20:43] OerHeks: I tried that. Those links are all 404s as well.

[20:46] pantato_ want to create subtitles? i guess you need to make a srt file [20:47] depends on the format really, maybe the guys in #ubuntu-studio can tell you more [20:47] MonkeyDust_: no. [20:47] datahood: Yes. I saw that you installed wrog grub.

[20:50] datahood, if it doesn't go to your bootable device or show it in the boot menu try going into the BIOS setup and change the boot order there [20:51] datahood: to select boot device on toshiba laptop you need to go to bios/uefi end disable fast(quick?) boot [20:51] UNIm95<< I did change boot order still nothing..can I download a new 64 ubuntu bversion while here online or do I need to burn a copy? [20:52] datahood, it's much easier to install from a media than try to get it to install from an existing system especially when you're trying to replace that system [20:52] I give up. I'll just use windows [20:53] datahood: you need to download 64-bit install image, write it to usb stick or CD or DVD and make usual ubuntu installation. [20:53] ok.so I need to download 64 bit version and reinstall from that? [20:54] I tried that all day yesterday and it would not burn copy of download nor add to usb stick [20:54] pantato_: have you looked into HandBrake ? It would transcode your AVI file & include the SRT file, however the output file would be MP4 (M4V) or MKV ... not sure if you want AVI output [20:54] on my bios I do not have fast(quick) just uefi and csm [20:55] is there a good place to get some help with a custom gtk theme?

For older versions, see http://askubuntu.com/a/19480 for information on activating it. [21:07] tytan: no. it should add a batched discard [21:08] Thank you ^_^ [21:08] OerHeks: Thanks.

See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [21:13] tytan, so why do you ask for the best way, if you don't trust a source besides https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads [21:13] I'm trying to select my current home partition when installing ubuntu but it seems the only way I can select it is to - the partition and re-create it which obviously I don't want to do. Anyone done this before? [21:13] or maybe you don't trust them either ? [21:14] oh no wait, I just choose "change" and select it as a ext4 then say it should be /home [21:15] Validus i di it all the time, you have to create a / partition and format it ... bind the appropriate /dev/sdX to /home and DON'T format it [21:15] Validus, do you want to keep settings and cruft from your previous install ? select the manual mode, and un-tick 'format'your home partition in that menu [21:16] OerHeks: If oracle itself provides a PPA it's trustworthy [21:16] Yeha just worked it out, thanks MonkeyDust_ and OerHeks :) [21:16] Validus in time, this becomes a routine [21:16] yeah, even with a backup its still a little daunting. [21:17] I wonder if it will just **work** with my encrypted home directory :P [21:17] k1l the strante thing is driver works! I can run CUDA samples. Lspci and lsmod shows card and driver being used. Hwever, lightdm is not happy [21:18] MonkeyDust_: is it pretty normal to have to re-install Ubuntu then? Or is that just because you like to try different distro's? [21:18] cylonmath: still fighting with Nvidia drivers? [21:18] Anyone expert in creating managed wifi hotspot ? [21:18] Validus Yes, the fight is going on :) [21:18] best of luck haha [21:21] cylonmath, you get anything from dmesg? I did get the OpenCL version of the drivers working not sure if it's the same as the CUDA ones actually but it did take me a full reinstall before I got it right [21:21] ok same problem after reboot [21:22] UNIm95< Are you still here? [21:23] wafflej0ck : I traced var/log/lightdm/x-0.log : It says "symbol lookup error ..... libglx.so: undefined symbol: Load Extension.". After runnin command there is no extra entry into Dmesg (it cant succesfuly start X i guess) [21:25] FML [21:25] Still getting this login loop! [21:25] is ERIC or UNIm95 still here? [21:26] hmm I can get into the guest session so maybe it just can't access /home :) [21:26] what about wafflejock? [21:26] datahood, yeah still around [21:27] datahood, you couldn't get it to boot from the device? [21:27] Validus i do it after i ruined my installation, due to some nholy [21:27] Validus i do it after i ruined my installation, due to some unholy experiment [21:27] datahood, you try md5 checksumming the downloaded file and the install media [21:27] ok I still can not boot from startup or restart... [21:27] not familliar with checksumming proess [21:28] hi I have a question concerning how to add a script to PATH [21:28] !md5sum | datahood [21:28] datahood: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [21:28] I already added the relevant codes to .baschrc but it is still not working [21:28] datahood, it doesn't happen often but sometimes things can get corrupted in the download or transfer process [21:28] datahood, do you see the boot media you're trying to boot from in the boot device order in your BIOS? [21:29] wafflejock< do I type in the terminal !md5sum? [21:29] datahood, no see the links there [21:29] the !thinghere is a command to ubottu to spit back some links and info [21:29] ok [21:30] datahood, should just be md5sum somefile.iso [21:30] datahood, on the place you downloaded the iso it should also have the md5sum listed [21:30] datahood, if they seem to match then they match and it's the same data [21:30] otherwise they'll be very different [21:30] ok...I only download from ubuntu.com [21:31] datahood, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [21:32] before I installed the software I checked to see if it said copy is ok with no errors [21:32] datahood, lots of places will list the md5sum with the download looks like ubuntu.com actually hides it for the sake of design I imagine but just match the iso you have with the hash there in the list that should be the output of md5sum [21:32] Right anyone got any idea how to restore an encrypted home directory? [21:32] datahood, that's exactly what this does just verifies the data is the same [21:32] http://www.howtogeek.com/116297/how-to-recover-an-encrypted-home-directory-on-ubuntu/ [21:32] cheers! [21:33] not tested, found it on google lol [21:33] ok [21:33] lol all of these things I did not do :P [21:33] still trying to figure out how to use md5 checksum [21:34] md5checksum filename [21:34] match it against the checksum listed on the official documentation [21:34] md5sum I believe [21:34] oh yeah [21:34] md5sum [21:34] fingers moving faster than my brain lol [21:35] hah yeah it happens lots of random program names to recall [21:35] datahood https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [21:35] datahood, just paste your md5sum output from your ISO here === Lihis is now known as Guest77224 [21:36] datahood, were you able to find and disable quick boot or fast boot in your BIOS? also do you see the boot media you're trying to start in the boot order menu in the bios? [21:37] Hey, how would I be able to see how many different partitions are on a HDD, and access their contents? [21:37] http://askubuntu.com/questions/182446/how-do-i-view-all-available-hdds-partitions [21:37] Thank you! [21:37] wafflejock<< no I was not able to find quick and fast...my bios screen do not have that option [21:38] datahood, okay what about the boot order options? [21:38] datahood, does it show your CD drive or a USB option in there? [21:38] datahood, if so can you just bump that to the top of the list [21:39] datahood, in my BIOS I can move them up or down or just select one to temporarily use as the first thing to boot from [21:39] boot order options would not load in the order I chose [21:39] datahood, you sure you saved the BIOS when exiting? [21:39] OerHeks: http://josephtingiris.blogspot.com/2012/11/centos-63-anaconda-kickstart-pxe-boot.html May be a better one. I was hoping to find a dvd iso or premade VBox image. Plugging along. [21:41] Dafk. Why is there a ntfs partition with 1k of storage in this thing? [21:41] when I try and typ md5 checksum commands it want deliver === SeizeSea is now known as Guest22354 [21:42] hi-low [21:44] wafflejock< yes [21:44] I just installed xubuntu and iin the menu, I find no where to see my current kernel, cpu clock, etc... [21:44] does it exist? [21:45] wafflejock< something is way out of wack with my bios....it would not let me boot from any disc [21:46] eipi-1_, sudo apt-get install sysinfo [21:46] ty [21:46] should be what you are looking for [21:46] is there a ubuntu repo for apache mod_h2 ? [21:48] Comstock< are taking over for wafflejock? [21:48] what do you mean? [21:48] info wise [21:49] oh, everyone here helps when they can [21:49] datahood, I've definitely had times when USB or DVDs won't boot for me but not sure where else to point ya at this point, md5sum filename.iso in the folder where you have downloaded the ubuntu iso [21:49] my knowledge is limited at best [21:49] but aside from checking that everything downloaded correctly and just opening up the install media after transferring the iso to it to see that it has the files and maybe checking that it's marked bootable are about all I can think of [21:50] wow thanks Comstock, that was exactly what I was looking for. [21:50] awesome! [21:51] is there something similar to a synaptic package manager with xubuntu? [21:52] ubuntu software center [21:52] yeah, but like mint has the center and the package manager [21:53] eipi-1_: synptic should be in the repos still. but its not standard anymore. [21:53] hey guys! I just wanted to say that after this windows 10 scandal with the keyloggers and constant feedback stuff , i'm going to convert myself to linux.

How do I re attempt the initialisation process after ubuntu has booted? [21:59] Loeb, boot ubuntu live, check the smart info, and recover your data [21:59] compdoc, I'm on live, the smart data is bad, and I'm attempting to recover the data [21:59] I can't do it when the system thinks there isn't a drive [22:00] if disk util or gparted cant see the drive, you might be too late [22:00] Comstock, could you or anyone else point me to a place that has installs like that sysinfo you showed me? I don't see where to check repositories and I just wanna "beef up" this install a little. I am lower than a noobie, so sorry. [22:01] compdoc, the disk sometimes gets stuck in a TLEResque error during boot, when it does the drive won't detect [22:01] it likes to boot cold better, and it will still spit out the partition name [22:01] What I'm asking is how to reinitialise the drive, not general info on bad hard drives [22:05] Is the tellinger Ubuntu? [22:05] what? [22:06] what is 'the tellinger' ? [22:07] Comstock<< hi. I'm trying to enlarge my crypted harddrive. everythings okay until now. pvdisplay shows me 27893 free extends (109.1GB) but a lvresize or lvextend on my root volume always ends up with "xxx extends needed, 0 avaible". any hint what i missed or doing wrong? [22:08] boot order options would not load in the order I chose [22:09] i bought a new bigger ssd and dd'ed it to the new one. know want to resize the dm-crypt [22:09] -k [22:09] glad I made that unencrypted backup, having a real tough time restoring the encrypted home directory [22:10] crypt isn't really a problem lol [22:11] Validus sounds like you're really having fun [22:11] hahaha [22:11] i see free extends, but lvresize denies with no free extends, that's the problem :P [22:11] usa BuDuScRiPt [ http://digilander.libero.it/udasoft/Software/Linux/buduscript ] [22:11] Version 3.7.86 [22:11] By U D A ' S o f t w a r e [22:11] pvresize worked, pvdisplay shows the correct new size [22:12] yeah, for some reason even though I have the passphrase it just doesn't want to work. [22:12] Someone online was having the same issues and they made a new user directory and somehow got it working from there, but if I'm doing that I might as well just copy over the backup and rip out the encryption rubbish.

Isntead of downloading binary driver doing lots of manual steps... this works like a charm! [22:34] Just gotta download bloody everything again [22:34] perfect! [22:34] Ah haha, yeah when I downloaded the binary someone on here said that was the worst choice I could have made [22:34] got it....forgot to unlock the physical volume before resizing the logical volume ^^ [22:35] looks like everyone is solving everything right now! [22:35] validated that its the worst choice. [22:35] Glad it's sorted though :) [22:36] yeah nvidia setting shows that i am running the driver [22:36] I think I can handle the rest more or less [22:37] awesome [22:38] looks like only one of my monitors is working right now so I will probably be fighting with graphics drivers again anyway [22:39] I'm having an issue installing Ubuntu - once the install is complete, it won't let me boot without the flash drive plugged in.
