krabadorhi , how can i use only a usb wireless card and not the internal, in a notebook ?00:08
wileeekrabador, Be sure it works and use it, many cheap plug and play out there, marked as such in searches00:09
krabadorwileee, it works, but it seems i can't disable the internale, for use only the external00:09
wileeekrabador, Should show in the network manager or what ever your control is on your desktop00:09
wileeekrabador, I believe i will default to the ethernet00:10
krabadorif i try to disable the one, both don't works00:10
wileeekrabador, You will have to give good details, you're not new here.00:11
wileeekrabador, Could it be that you don;t know if the wifi is working, it may not be and ethernet off means you'rs off the net?00:12
wileeeshowing does not always mean working00:13

Guest21111When moving my touchpad, wakeups per second in power manager goes from 100 to 700. I'm on Ubuntu 14.0400:27
Guest21111PS/2 keyboard/mouse/touchpad shows 300+wakeups, and Local Interrupts goes up to 260 when using the touchpad.00:28
wileeeGuest21111, Little loose in the description, can you detail that a bit more, compartmentalize?00:28
Guest21111wileee: I'm using Mate Power Manager. When I go to the processor tab to view Processor wakeups per second, I get an average of 100 wakeups per second when not using the touchpad. When I move the mouse using the touchpad, it immediately jumps up to 600-700.00:29
Guest21111wileee: I'm thinking this may be related to my short battery life. I've looked around on forums, it's a common issue with synaptics touchpads. But I've found no solutions. Apparently it was fixed in Ubuntu 12.04, but I still have the issue in 14.04.00:30
wileeeGuest21111, Thanks, I've not used the app or mate. If it were me I would check does this show in the use and is this just looking for problems, seems high but may be a norm, not sure here. ;)00:30
feneco_hello00:31
feneco_worth it upgrading from 14.04lts to 15.04?00:32
wileeeGuest21111, ps2 mouse and keyboard is a bit old hardware, I believe basically shut off on new releases, but still thee.00:32
BotchlaBimho, no. I'd stick with 14.04 LTS till the next LTS comes out.00:32
wileeefeneco_, Your decision.00:32
Guest21111wileee: most laptops still use PS/2 internally for the touchpad. Also, when idle I get 0-1% cpu usage. But as soon as I begin moving the mouse, it goes up to 7-10%.00:33
wileeeGuest21111, Can't say what is normal in this, I would not be worried however if this does not effect the systems running, can't tell if it does for you. Peoplle how can cover this may ask just that question.00:34

datahoodI been trying to get help all day...I tried to update fire fox browser last night and clamtk reported a virus from the firefox update00:41
doctorly_I am trying to install grub2 onto a usb from a serperate live usb. What is the best way to install just grub2 to a USB?00:42
squintydatahood,  firefox updates come through via the repo's updating process00:42
feneco_it's weird, so ubuntu 14.04 wont have software updates? like java or firefox?00:42
wileeedatahood, You are using the ubuntu repos on both apps correct?00:42
daftykinsdatahood: and somehow you hop from this to BIOS?00:42
doctorly_It seems like most tutorials are for a fresh install, it would be nice if I could just install grub2 from the install option on the live cd though.00:42
wileeedoctorly, you can00:43
doctorly_wilee: It keeps telling me I need to select a root though, and then it trys to install ubuntu onto the root. Is there something else I can do?00:43
datahooddaftykins< yes...because after I quarantined the virus I realized that I install ubuntu 32 bit instead of 64...somehow I can not reinstall any disc from my drive00:44
wileeedoctorly, some details might help00:44
daftykinsdatahood: sorry that's a crazy leap00:44
wafflejockdaftykins, have been having problems trying to help datahood because it seems the BIOS isn't respecting the boot order or something may be wrong with the installation media possibly but we tried a few things earlier00:45
wafflejockdaftykins, long story short is just trying to reinstall to 64-bit but can't get the bootable media going00:45
doctorly_wileee: there are two devices, a usb and a HDD. HDD has Ubuntu, USB needs grub2 so that I can boot into HDD. USB only needs to have grub2 on it, nothing else.00:45
daftykinswafflejock: righty-o, thanks for the heads up :)00:46
datahoodwafflejock: thanks00:46
wileeedoctorly, So you want the usb as the grub boot always or you need to get in now to fix this on the HD?00:46
wileeedoctorly, End goal?00:47
nahtnamHey!00:47
nahtnamI have a home server, and I want to setup a nas (public w/ private accounts)00:47

daftykinsnahtnam: which part is relevant to ubuntu?00:48
nahtnamdaftykins: The home server is running ubuntu00:48
nahtnamserver00:48
doctorly_wileee: I want it to always be the grub boot, because the bios actually can't boot to the hard drive. It is a eMMC, and is not detectable to the bios, but grub can boot the HDD. It is a really weird use case.00:48
daftykinsnahtnam: ok so setup samba then?00:48
datahoodwafflejock: I did get the boot order to change but did not boot from disc just went to a page that said *ubuntu, advanced options for ubuntu, memory test (memory test 86) serial console 11520000:48
nahtnamdaftykins: Kk, thanks.00:48
Shed-34046the intel websites says my graphics card don't support linux.. Is that BS?00:50
wileeedoctorly_ Ah cool, I would just use supergrub for now, but putting grub for boot on the usb is doable, I would have to google it myself. Really you need better help, to check if this is true.00:50
Shed-34046Its Intel pentium b960 with intel hd graphics.00:50
Shed-34046i believe the intel hd graphics is 2nd gen intel.00:50
wileeedoctorly_ That is checking if a no on board grub is not usable, may be, just not sure here.00:51
wileeebad wording strike the no, mistaken type00:52
doctorly_msg wileee It is for sure possible, there is someone who has accomplished it,  on this same model. It is a really weird work around and I am not sure how he did it. When I get the chance to ask I will, but he hasn't been around.00:52

wileeedoctorly, supergrub should bot it for now, I would hold out for the onboard and you knowing how to do it.00:55

datahoodbecause it want let me  reinstall anything..screen just blink and goes from new install screen to grub01:27
Ben64grub is required to boot01:27
wileeedatahood, The grub boot is probably in the mbr, where the partition table info is...etc, a pro area at the least to mess with, not a good or solid idea.01:28

datahoodwileee< what is the per session boot?01:29
wileeedatahood, On my computer and all others besides a bios access with a key press, you can have the bootfrom menu with another key press, mine is f1201:30

wileeedatahood, If you are not booting from there with the media, I would check the media.01:31

redrum187I tried to install for the first time Friday, and apparently there was an error after lots of troubleshooting help here.  Ubuntu wasn't showing up in the BIOS and there was no menu to choose between Windows and Ubuntu after startup, just straight to windows.  Ultimately it was recommended that I do a clean install.  I md5 checked tehe iso and set u03:06

Ububeginwileee: sure, i can do that..03:06
wileeeUbubegin, If it is gone from any source.list it is gone, however looks like you probably have broken packages or the cache of the ppa. Lets see all of sudo apt-get update in a pastebin03:07

Ububeginwileee: Ok, but is there any way still to remove this ppa ..03:20
wileeeUbubegin, THe ppa is gone, the ppa cache or package cache needs to be cleared in the proxy. Switch to a regular access to se if this is the issue.03:21
Guest90513I just built a desktop using a ssd to instal ubuntu 14.04, I have two xhds that I removed from their enclosures and plugged into sata3 ports on my mobo.

wileeeUbubegin, Is it the broken package "1 not fully installed or removed." from your dist-upgrade03:24
wileeeUbubegin, YOu continue to not post all of the terminal info, rather frustrating from here.03:25

alpha_I just built a desktop using a ssd to instal ubuntu 14.04, I have two xhds that I removed from their enclosures and plugged into sata3 ports on my mobo. They are partitioned in either fat32 or ntfs because I used them on a windows sys. Is there any way that I can get ubuntu to recognize my files and read/write to the disk?03:29

redrum187I tried to install on sda7 where it says Ubuntu is already installed and it said no root directory is known03:31
wileeeredrum187, The way your doing this leaves you with the chance for people to just comment, who do not know the issue, I remembered it exactly, you want someone like that or a detailed description to work from03:32
wileeeredrum187, You have your cart about a mile in front of you horse. ;)03:33
redrum187Thank you for the feedback.  I'm not sure how I should form my questions, or what the correct questions are to ask.03:33
wileeeredrum187, Like this basically W8 install, did not know UEFI install scenario, advised to do a reinstall using same partitions from something else (manual) install. Not sure of the instructions in this area.03:35
wileeeredrum187, Note not to detailed, but captures the essence of info needed to start with for a helper to have a general image.03:37
wileeeanyway hope all this helps, we want you to succeed!!!03:39
redrum187I am using a manufacturer installed win8.1 laptop.  Friday I installed Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS from a liveboot disk.  After troubleshooting, it was discovered that a file in /sys/firmware/efi was missing or damaged. I started over from scratch and want to confirm how I am reinstalling at this point (from livebooted Ubuntu).03:39
redrum187Me, too.03:39
redrum187Thank you for the support.03:39
wileeeredrum187, THe mention of the oem is excellent, good job. ;)  no problem helping03:40
niranjanHi, on 14.04, it was working fine until I got last update. After that wifi stopped working.03:41
wileeeredrum187, ON the average the help you want is around in about 3 hours more or less, not a specific person, a hand full of helpers actually03:41
redrum187Followup:  My primary issue is that Ubuntu does not show up in the BIOS boot order menu, nor does GRUB appear, regular boot defaults to windows.03:42
redrum187Ok, good to know.03:42
friedmicroredrum187, I'm currently running a dual-boot with Windows 8 as well...what's the manufacturer of the laptop, some of UEFI implementations are different03:43
friedmicro?03:43
redrum187Asus03:43
wileeeredrum187, Be careful with additional info, put everything in each post, your basic just need to reinstall is the issue, that last post, will have people trying to fix what we know is broken. What happens is if you spread the info around it's hard top follow is all for some of us.03:43
wileeetop=to my bad03:44
wileeeredrum187, You are doing fine though, I will leave you alone, heh.03:44
redrum187No problem, I appreciate genuine feedback.03:45
friedmicroredrum187, I'm not going to give a recommendation that might break something...I'm afraid I don't have experience with Asus, but as wileee said earlier a reinstall is your best bet. Just don't accidentally erase Windows in the process.03:47

channmani'm having trouble accessing my USB flash drive. I want to make a bootable usb but i can't do anything with it04:38
wileeechannman, What have you tried, and how is it formatted?04:39
channmanwileee I have tried using gparted. how  do I tell you how it's formatted?04:39
wileeechannman, was hoping you knew. ;)04:40
wileeelike is it a fat32, ntfs, linux ext...etc04:40
wileeean apple formatted usb04:41
channmanwell in gparted it says unallocated but it is acting as a readonly folder04:41
wileeechannman, is it unmounted?04:41
channmanwileee as of now yes04:42
wileeechannman, So it says unallocated, is there anything that was there that you need?04:42
channmanwileee nope, can wipe it04:43
wileeechannman, So go to the top and click on make a new partition table, accept msdos, after that finishes, make a fat32 run  it and it should be good to go.04:44
wileeenew table just to be sure we have a basic fresh table is all04:44
channmanwileee i am able to do the new table and msdos, but when I choose fat32 it gives me an error04:46
wileeechannman, Can you say the error or would a picture of it be easier, I like a pic, to see the whole thang?04:48

Orbitsi was trying to run OBS which is experimental anyway (it's a program for streaming) and everything would work except when I streamed the screen was just black on the stream...

Orbitset me select the original driver i was using :(04:50
Matt_tenigrandpppp, yup i really like XFCE04:50

bishes414how can i view the connected USB device name?04:57
wileeechannman, Strange it should wipe the usb, the error is rather strange I have no idea. As an easy test I would unplug the usb, plugin unmount and try the table then the partition again.04:58
channmanwileee how exactly do i unmount?04:58
OneMattAh.04:58
OneMattThat might do it.04:58
wileeechannman, You are now, gparted will do it for you on gthe plugin, shutdown gparted before you do any.04:59
bishes414I tried ls /dev and it lists all USB devices but how do I know which one is the one connected? Plz help.04:59
OneMattFor some reason, the filesystem of this drive is "promise_fasttrack_raid_member".04:59
wileeechannman, you can unmount the usb if it is, probably is not mounted, as an unalocated05:00

Matt_teninot sure05:01
Matt_teniim on unity as for now05:01
grandppppMatt_teni: type sudo blkid in the terminal05:02
wileeechannman, Sorry m=not the best description, since it is unallocated it should not mount, so unplug plugin, make sure not mounted and do the table a partition again. My bad.05:03

HiltonHi, sorry this is long, figured I'd get it all out at once. After getting tired of my kid's inexplicable ability to get Windows infected with dozens of programs despite every attempt to lock it down, I've decided to 'introduce' them to Ubuntu... but I can't get their accounts to work. I initially set up their accounts without passwords, intending to have them log in and set their own. I then...09:19
Hilton...changed my mind and set passwords for them all, but none could log in. Research found they were all part of a 'nopasswdlogin' group or something; I removed them all from that group, but NOW Ubuntu simply says "Invalid password." at all times, right password or not. This does not happen on the two admin account.09:19
k1l_Luyin: yes, that looks better for a start09:20
Luyink1l so I'm going to try remove anything else than that wich works for me and reboot?09:20
cfhowlettHilton, TWO admin accounts?09:20
HiltonI even tried deleting and recreating all their accounts, with no change. Note that if I use su in a terminal window, or switch to a TTY console, I can log in to their accounts just fine.09:21
Hiltoncfhowlett: Set my wife as administrator so she could make policy changes to things like Timekpr without needing MY password.09:21
cfhowlettHilton, :)  niiiiiice.09:21
HiltonFinding a version of Timekpr that worked on 14.04 was a task in itself... 300,000 references to the original that stopped working at 11.x, 1 reference to someone else's updated version that works on 11-15.09:22
HiltonSo, this is strictly a GUI problem not letting the standard accounts log in with the right password. Why!?09:23

So I sshed to my server and when I try to ls my directory it says "@backup-serverrummet:/media/backup$ ls ls: läser katalog .: In/ut-fel" which means "reading catalog, in/out-error". I've tried to reboot the system but without success... what can I do? :(09:43
TJ-akik: there is *no* kernel/modules for the chroot, it's hosted on an Android host09:43

Ben64johelish: it can, you should check09:46
funkt1Hi there I seem to have a very weird problem. I have installed xampp and I have a localhost. The problem I am having is I cannot seem to add any folders and even weirder the folders I have removed are still completely intact every file in place even though there is no folder whatsover in htdocs. I have tried through 3 different browsers and all claim to have the files even though they do not exist has anyone ever come across this problem?09:46
kreazulleakik I get FATAL Error with no such file or directory. TJ ty again. Aparently I cannot escape what I have feared (building a full kernel)09:46
TJ-johelish: /media/backup/ suggests the samba share is on another file-system. Check the device that is hosted on, or do a file-system check. Also, first review any I/O errors in "/var/log/kern.log"09:47
bazhangfunkt1, xampp is not supported here, use lamp09:48
bazhang!xampp | funkt109:48
ubottufunkt1: We do not support XAMPP installs here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in our repositories; see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for more information.09:48
funkt1so anyone here who can help me?09:48
TJ-kreazulle: You could explore the novafusion host directories to find other kernel modules, in case they are there but need mapping/copying into the chroot. On android do "find / -type f -name '*.ko' "09:48
bazhangsee above funkt109:48
funkt1I have!09:48
bazhangfunkt1, there are links on how to get lamp going, please read09:49

lobo_nzHi, Im trying to upgrade an old server from Lucid to Precise and have many errors like this "No candidate ver:" all the things I have tried have not fixed those errors yet, any ideas on what to do?09:52
cfhowlett!eolupgrade | lobo_nz,09:53
ubottulobo_nz,: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades09:53
kreazulleTJ: Done that and I got a list of .ko: bthid, dhd, exfat_core, exfat_fs, hwreg, j4fs, param, rng-core, scsi_wait_scan, vpnclient.09:53
johelishBen64: Is it possible that just the symlink is gone? With fdisk -l I can see the hdds but I don't know how to access them09:53
TJ-kreazulle: So the module(s) you need aren't there. That confirms you'll need to build that same kernel with the required module(s) enabled.09:54
Ben64johelish: check dmesg for errors09:54

nils13hi,09:56
nils13is it possible to have help on vsftpd here ?09:56
Ben64nils13: the best thing you can do with vsftpd is uninstall it and use sftp instead09:57
cfhowlettnils13, possible but only if you give copious details.  telepaths use Miley Cyrus OS09:57
kreazulleTJ: Just to be on the safe side, I need to build a new ubuntu image or do I have to have a new Android rom that has the modules? Again kinda noob09:57
nils13ok, will sftp work with Filezilla ?09:57
Ben64nils13: google says yes09:58
nils13ok, I found something googling sftp and understood sftp work only with command line, I was wrong, ok, I remove vsftp and install sftp ... thanks09:59
nils13thank you Ben6409:59
Ben64all you need is a ssh server for it, theres no package called "sftp"09:59
TJ-kreazulle: You'd need to build the exact same kernel but with the config options for the modules you need also enabled. Then you can install those modules into the chroot. I'd *think* the first thing to try would be check-out the android kernel at the same commit as the installed kernel, identify the modules you need, run "make xconfig" to add the modules you'll need, then try to build. If you're new to kernel hacking this will be a tortuous experience due to the10:01
TJ-differences between android and mainline/Ubuntu kernels, and the workflow required, so put aside several days to master it :)10:01
nils13Ben64: I have openssh-server installed, then how do I install sftp if there is not package named sftp ?10:02
Ben64you're already done10:02
kreazulleTJ: Ty for your time and patience. Hopefully after this experience I wil call myself lessnoob :)10:03
nils13Ben64: ok, I have a Filezilla connexion, I can write in my home dir, but still cannot write on /var/www/html/somedir10:03
Ben64you should be able to write anywhere you user can10:04
nils13the user I am using, is the first user created when Ubuntu server install10:04
Ben64can you write to /var/www/html/somedir using that user10:04
nils13Ben64: in a terminal, I use sudo to write anywhere, then, what about FTP via Filezilla ?10:05
dpnuxHi, is there any application on Ubuntu to see what an application doing such as create new folder and settings?10:05
Ben64nils13: you could add your user to the group of the directory, you could take ownership of the directory, theres a few ways to do it10:06
nils13Ben64: I can write anywhere using sudo in a terminal, and look likes sudo is not available via Filezilla10:07

Ben64i think /var/www is owned by www-data or something like that10:10
Ben64you can add your user to that group10:10
nils13Ben64: then ?, do I have to create a special user for FTP ?, and how I give this user rights to write anywhere ?10:11
Ben64you don't. read what i said about security10:11
TJ-nils13: If you "adduser $USER www-data" you'll also need to allow the "www-data" group *write* access to "/var/www/" and sub-dirs10:12
nils13ok, I do not understand how to do this ?, allowing one user to write anywhere via FTP, with a strong password ?, not good ?, same issue as ssh connexion as root, no ?10:13
Ben64you don't need to "write anywhere" over ftp sftp or anything really10:13
TJ-nils13: see http://askubuntu.com/questions/19898/whats-the-simplest-way-to-edit-and-add-files-to-var-www10:14
th3_4dm1nhello world10:14
th3_4dm1nwell fuck you too10:15
nils13TJ, this is a brand new Ubuntu server install, and what I can see, is all www dir belong to root, should I change all this to www-data ?10:15
nils13ok Ben6410:15
TJ-nils13: /var/www will be owned by root, but the entries in it, and sub-dirs, should be owned by "www-data"10:17
nils13Ok TJ- , I changed chown www/* to www-data:www-data10:18
pragomer1how can I do a setting... that allows me executing bash scripts on (all) ntfs partitions I use ?10:19
nils13I've seen I have a user and a group named www-data10:19
nils13now, should I add user nils to group www-data ?, I try ...10:20
TJ-nils13: As far as I recall, "/var/www/html/" is the DocumentRoot for apache, and that already is owned by "www-data"10:21
nils13no, not enough, still cannot write in /var/www/*10:21
nils13TJ-: yes, you are right, this is the case10:21
Ben64you do need to re log in in order to have the group stiff to take effect10:21
Ben64group stuff*10:21
TJ-nils13: /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf:12:       DocumentRoot /var/www/html10:22
nils13ok Ben64 , re log via Filezilla, right ?10:22
TJ-nils13: do "sg touch /var/www/html/hello.txt" and you should see the user has write permissions10:23
nils13no, I re log in Filezilla, but still cannot write in /var/www/10:23
TJ-nils13: you have to set write permissions for the group. The default is read-only. "chmod -R g+w /var/www/html"10:25
nils13TJ-: "sg touch ..." says touch group does not exist, if I touch a file, via ssh, as I did sudo bash, the file will belong to root, I have a test file, that belong now to www-data:www-data10:27
nbusronehi , I wonder why after updated nvidia driver my brightness got reset every restart ?10:27
nbusronehow to permanent set brightness of nvidia ?10:27
nils13TJ-: yes I can see, group can only read, I change it ...10:27
nils13TJ-: it works !!!10:29
TJ-nils13: sorry, the 'sg' commmand needs the group name, too. It's just a good way to test without needing to log-out/log-in, as in "sg www-data touch /var/www/hello.txt"10:31
nils13ok, to summary, no special FTP server is needed, ssh + ftp (native) is enough, user nils do not need to belong to www-data group, right ?10:31
nils13ok TJ- for sg, I understood10:32
TJ-nils13: user permissions will require any user that wants write access to /var/www/html/ to be a member of www-data group10:32
nils13TJ-: yes, I tried, add/remove me from www-data group, it works as you describe it, so thank you very much for your help !10:37
nils13and Ben64 as well, thanks !10:37
nils13when I ps aux | grep ftp I can see /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server, that means openssh has its own ftp server ?10:38

Guest77105hi10:46
nils13Luyin: I don't know ?, I try to understand, because of the S ?10:46

Guest77105do you know an application for hacker a instagram account (sorry for bad english)10:49
Ben64not here10:49
nils13Luyin: ok, so it comes with Ubuntu server, without having to install it manually ?10:49
Guest77105xx_Kr0nUs_xx: an application for hacker a instagram account?10:50
cfhowlett!hacking | Guest77105, no and we are not going to help you hack anyones account10:50

nils13What I checked while installing Ubuntu server was : openssh server / LAMP server / Mail server, anything else, so, sftp comes with one of these choice, or with Ubuntu "native"10:51

Ben64cfhowlett: he's just been going around to a bunch of channels asking it10:56

Amozthe dd command I wrote will clear the whole disk, write zeroes *everywhere*15:08
bitcoinassassinAmoz: but from a live usb or dvd, right?15:09
onlaafter that dd, when the buyer goes to some partition manager, he can see the 1tb disk, and he can choose to format it as ntfs or ext3 or such?15:09

kulelu88what is the shortcut to create a new file?15:31
kulelu88ctrl + shift + n = new folder15:31
OerHekstouch /path/to/file15:31
kulelu88OerHeks: is there nothing with a keyboard in a GUI window?15:32
vubuntor@daftytins correct, I'm stuck with that Windows Boot Manager things, I won't let me boot into anything else(Ubuntu LiveUSB, even Windows USB)15:32
daftykinsvubuntor: you're saying there's no other entry?15:32
vubuntorNo other15:32
OerHekskulelu88, mouse right click, new folder or new document15:32
vubuntoronly that WBM15:32
kulelu88OerHeks: I know that. I'm looking for a keyboard option15:32
daftykinsvubuntor: are you sure that it's not under a hard disk priority section which supplies the Windows Boot Manager entry? sometimes that's the case15:32
onlaAmoz: why bs 4M? I saw google many uses smaller size there15:33
OerHekskulelu88, nope, not available.15:33
OerHeks( in nautilus, that is)15:33
onlawill dd 1tB /dev/sda take a long time?15:33
vubuntorI even move WBM entry to the bottom on the boot order15:33
Amozonla, you write it in 4MB chunks15:33
kulelu88what about XFCE?15:34
Amozonla, a HDD is very slow latency wise, so it's good to put big blocks of data to the write queue at the same time15:34
daftykinsonla: yes quite a while.15:34
onladoes it matter in what chunks I should write there? guess not15:34
Amozonla, if you put 4K it will be much slower afaik15:34
daftykins2M or 4M doesn't matter15:34
onlaquite a while with 4M = 1h or 5h?15:34
OerHekskulelu88, if the panel menu gives no shortcut, then find out howto make that yourself15:34
daftykinsonla: more than tht15:35
daftykins*that15:35
kulelu88Thanks OerHeks15:35
vubuntordaftykins: you knows what's wrong?15:36
Amozonla, 70MB/s ~ 4h or something15:36
Amozthat is , if I calculated correctly15:36
daftykinsvubuntor: er as in you found it or you're still not sure?15:36
daftykinsAmoz: i hope you factored in the speed from start to end of disk :P15:37
daftykinsvubuntor: i'd boot a live session and chroot the install, then run update-grub perhaps15:37
Amozdaftykins, if he uses dd of=dev then it will be very close to linear access I think.15:37
vubuntordaftykins: i didn't found anything, other entries in the bios/uefi settings are blank.15:37
vubuntordaftykins: the point is i can't even boot into any live sessions15:37
EriC^^vubuntor: why not?15:38
vubuntorUEFI blocks me because it sticks with the WBM,  no other entry15:38
EriC^^is the usb first in the boot order?15:38
daftykinsvubuntor: shutdown from Windows properly first, "shutdown -s -t 1"15:38
Amozvubuntor, so you can't even get to a boot-menu by ESC of F2 or delete ?15:38
vubuntorAmoz: i did get boot menu,but the only entry on that menu is Windows Boot Manager, no entry for USB or DVD15:39
onlamaybe that shred is faster shred -n 5 -vz /dev/sda15:39
vubuntordaftykins: isn't that the same to disable fastboot?15:40
daftykinsdoesn't hurt to try in case something is funky15:40
daftykinsi think you have bigger problems if your flash drive isn't showing up in a boot menu15:40
Amozonla, it will definitely not be faster.15:40
vubuntorI will try and come back later15:40
EriC^^vubuntor: there's also fastboot in the bios, if it's enabled disable it15:41
daftykinsonla: waste of time, 3 users gave you the same advice - you should take it.15:41
vubuntordaftykins: this is the biggest problem since my computer is EFI only,no legacy.15:41
Amozonla, 5 times rewriting and a zeroing out in the end. That will take about 24h at least.15:41
vubuntorEriC^^: my bios has no fastboot option15:41
EriC^^vubuntor: try a different usb port15:41
onlalol15:42
Amozalso, you're not selling it to the NSA, are you onla?15:42
EriC^^^ valid point15:42
onla10¹²/(80·10⁶) = 12500 seconds = 3.47 hours:15:42
yossarianukvubuntor: my machine has the same issue sometimes, if I  reboot and re-insert the USB stick it normally shows up.15:43
onlabut where is the chunk size taken into account15:43
daftykinsonla: why do you keep saying chunk? if you mean the bs= then that's blocksize, thus it has a name15:43
onlaoh ok15:44
daftykinsyour write speed on a hard disk slows from start to end, so no point calculating it as a fixed figure15:44
daftykinsanyway all this time spent talking about it, you could be running it...15:44
onlaI am moving files atm :p15:44
onlabut very soon done15:44
onlait doesnt matter how many files I have there I guess15:45
onlawriting 0 every place anyway15:45
Amozonla, correct15:46
Abhijithi15:46
Amozthis is independent of any data/filesystem/whatever15:46
onlahope there is no hibernations or things in ubuntu live usb disk if I put that dd rolling and after couple of hours it will put the pc to sleep15:47
Abhijitinstalled ubuntu restricted extras vlc and ffmpeg on 15.04. when i insert video film cd nothing happends. its not appearing on file manager. help.15:47
Amozonla, easy to verify in settings I believe.15:47

OerHeksAbhijit, i had that issue too, i have nvidia, and needed to set vlc - preferences - video - output to VDpau ...15:51
Abhijiteven if wont play due to codecs, atleast it should appear in the file manager right?15:51
AbhijitOerHeks, my vcd is not detected at all.15:51
OerHeksoh, vcd , not dvd ?15:51
Abhijitone dvd and vcd.15:52
Abhijitnothing playes.15:52
OerHeksvideolan says: Open your VLC Player Go to Media---> Open Disc---> Select SVCD/VCD option15:53
Abhijitlet me try15:53
AbhijitOerHeks, it plays that way.15:54
OerHeks:-)15:54
Abhijitbut ubuntu is not asking me when i insert cd and also its not appearing on my filemanager?15:54
MonkeyDustOerHeks  +115:54
Abhijitthanks for that btw OerHeks :-)15:54
daftykinsdoes it really need to?15:54
daftykinsyou know when you put a disc in, because... you put a disc in15:54
OerHeksdoes it appear in filemanager as removable?15:54
Abhijitdaftykins, yes. how will i use cd drive in future?15:54
AbhijitOerHeks, no15:55
daftykinsAbhijit: depends on the task15:55
onlawhat the.. the bios has the usb mass storage set as 1 boot option, but it wont boot it but goes to grub. Now I removed the 2nd option of SATA disk altogether frmo 2nd option, and still boots to grub menu15:56
vubuntorfail15:56
vubuntorstill no USB on boot menu15:56
OerHeksAbhijit, I hope you didn't choose 'do nothing' and 'remember my choise´ once, so that menu never turns up again15:56
onlavubuntor: was that to me?15:56
vubuntoronla: no15:56
Abhijitdaftykins, yeah but how can I leave it like that? all the things need to be in working condition in new laptop no?15:57
AbhijitOerHeks, no. it never asked any prompt.15:57
AbhijitOerHeks, where do I do that setup?15:57
vubuntordaftykins: other usb ports,shutdown,nothing15:57
daftykinsshutdown, remove power + battery, discharge, then try again?15:58
OerHeksAbhijit,  on unity, systemsettings  - details - removable media15:58
daftykinsthis is way beyond ubuntu relevance right now though15:58
OerHeksthere is also an option 'other media'15:58
onlamy pc froze to the first picture when it does system tests when I press F11 to enter boot menu now15:59
AbhijitOerHeks, ok. will try. thanks.16:00
daftykinsonla: if you wouldn't mind reducing the running commentary...16:00
onlaI guess my ubuntu usb stick is not working. I tried 3 different ports, but it wont boot to the live cd.16:02
onlasorry. so I add to this that if anyone have any ideas if something else is up :)16:03
daftykinsonla: so remake it16:03
Abhijitonla, checked everything from bios settings? enable usb booting thes set usb disk on first priority etc?16:03
daftykinspriority is a waste of time, there's no need to adjust boot order16:04
daftykinshasn't been for years16:04
daftykinsjust use one-time menus :>16:05
onlaah yes. Now it boots. I tried with usb 3 ports first, and it didnt work. Modified the boot menu and tried again no avail, then after switching to usb2 slot, the boot menu option had moved the usb down on priority16:06
Abhijit...16:07
onlanow for the scary dd command :)16:07
Abhijitwhy do you need dd after booting into live ubuntu usb?16:07
onlaI gonna wipe 1tb disk16:08
Abhijitok.16:08
onlaI know the buyer and he said im being too nerd doing something like that instead of just formatting16:08
daftykinsbut it practically IS formatting16:08
daftykinsso he's too newb :)16:08
daftykins"sudo parted -l" then, pick the disk16:09
daftykins"sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=2M"16:09
HiltonHi, sorry this is long, figured I'd get all the information out at once. I'm getting a "incorrect password" errors in the GUI. I just did a fresh install of 14.04 on a PC and set up 6 accounts; my wife and I (admin) and 4 for the kids. I initially set up their accounts without passwords, intending to have them log in and set their own. I then changed my mind and set passwords for them all,...16:09
Hilton...but none could log in. Research found they were all part of a 'nopasswdlogin' group or something; I removed them all from that group, but NOW Ubuntu simply says "Invalid password." at all times, right password or not. This does not happen on the two admin account. Note that using 'su' in the terminal, or switching to a TTY console, I can log in to any of their accounts just fine.16:09
daftykinsthen if can also get progress reports by "sudo killall dd -USR1"16:09
HiltonWhat could the problem be!?16:09
daftykinsHilton: nuke those accounts and start again.16:10
jwashhi everyone, i'm on 14.04, is there a way to make the behavior of 10 min of inactivity not lead to the login screen and stoppage of play for media like youtube and online radio. does anyone know how to make it not do this?16:10
onladaftykins: I will choose 4MB bs16:11
onlaif it would be a bit faster16:11
Hiltondaftykins: I did. Same problem.16:11
onlaif I kill the dd while it is in progress, I would need to start from begin, no?16:11
Amozonla, FYI, you can check the speed and/or written amount later by sending a signal to dd16:11
onlaso I need no sudo for dd command16:11
daftykinsHilton: what about delete them, create one... log into one, set the password... then try?16:12
daftykinsonla: no kill with -USR1 prints progress16:12
HiltonDoes it make any difference if I use the User Accounts app, or the Users and Groups app I installed? (forgot the actual name...)16:12
Amozthat way you can check e.g. after 1 hour it has writen X amounts of data, and IF it is interrupted, you can use the "skip" argument to dd if you start again. That way you dont have to start over completely16:12
daftykinsonla: i wouldn't have told you to do it if it stopped it, would i? :)16:12
Abhijitjwash, its in the brightness and lock settings in system setting16:13
MonkeyDustjwash  yes, you can uncheck 'turn screen off'16:14

horatiohbTrying to install ubuntu, but the partitioning stage can't see my hard drive, only the usb stick from which I'm booting.16:34
techkamarhi16:34
techkamarcan u please tell me how to partition HD from terminal16:34
techkamari mean without using GPARTED16:35
OerHekstechkamar, use parted16:35
OerHeks!info parted16:35
ubottuparted (source: parted): disk partition manipulator. In component main, is standard. Version 3.2-7ubuntu1 (vivid), package size 43 kB, installed size 183 kB16:35
techkamarso itz not possible with "fdisk"?16:35
horatiohbI assume the installer is using something like GParted, but it will allow me to create a new partition table only for the USB stick I'm booting from. How do I get it to see and partition my hard drive?16:36
daftykinshoratiohb: can you open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit"16:37
daftykinsfollowed by "sudo parted -l | pastebinit"16:37
OerHekstechkamar, sure, http://www.howtogeek.com/106873/how-to-use-fdisk-to-manage-partitions-on-linux/16:37
horatiohbdaftykins: I can't because I'm in the middle of an install.16:37
regreghello16:37
horatiohbdaftykins: do you want me to reboot into "Try Ubuntu" mode instead?16:38
regregi want to study the code that recovers a documente on libreoffice startup. how should i download the associated source code packages?16:38
daftykinshoratiohb: well, if it's not installing i guess you're not going to get very far16:38
OerHekshoratiohb, in the middle of an install, little late to see partitions now.16:38
xx_Kr0nUs_xxhi16:38
horatiohbdaftykins: the install hasn't even started yet.16:38
daftykinshoratiohb: unless you hit ctrl+alt+F1 maybe?16:39
horatiohbOerHeks: ^^16:39
xx_Kr0nUs_xxdo you know a program for Linux 14.04 for open .zip files?16:39
horatiohbIt seems I'm not being clear. Ubuntu is asking me to define a new partition table, but it won't let me do so for my hard drive. This is the process one has to follow before installation can actually begin.16:40
MonkeyDust!zip | xx_Kr0nUs_xx16:40
ubottuxx_Kr0nUs_xx: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME), Ark (KDE), or Xarchiver (XFCE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression16:40

daftykins!lts17:11
ubottuLTS means Long Term Support. Until 12.04 LTS versions of Ubuntu were supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; since 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) LTS versions will be supported for 5 years on the desktop and server. The latest LTS version of Ubuntu is !Trusty (Trusty Tahr 14.04)17:11
OerHeksroyer is this bootloader from an other linux version ?17:12
brothersomesyslinux has the file extlinux.conf in the root and grub the /boot/... with menu.lst and grub2 is different17:12

k-methodHi. Does upstart emit a "starting" event before an sysv init script is started?  For instance: given the init script /etc/init.d/apache2  could you write an upstart service file that has the line "start on starting apache2"?17:13
keithmorgI am assuming it is a problem with the definition of the localhost being reset to default state.  Just do not have the expertise to fix it.17:13

akhbadhackhello17:29
onlaI am back at my ubuntu live cd running dd command to write zeroes to disk. Despite my setting, the screen is turned off, but when I move mouse around or press any keys on keyboard, it wont return picture to screen. It was already quite laggy to move mouse around in the ubunt live cd while it was doing dd before I left. I am not sure if this is just lag and how I can get the screen back, or if the dd process has frozen17:29

artoisfsociety_: does Windows 10 currently take up all of your only disk?17:30
brothersomefsociety, I use a puppylinux CD and use gparted for partioning a disk17:30

fsociety_artois: Yup.17:31
artoisfsociety_: okay, if you have enough free partition space for Ubuntu, then just install it to that space17:31
brothersomeOh writing zeroes at a disk is easier with shred17:31
artoisideally it will all 'just work'17:31
artoisbrothersome: nope17:32
onlaartois: yeah. I hope so. It did dd some 100GB already in some 15-20 minutes, and now some 80minutes has passed, so if it kept that pace and it is still doing it, it shouldn't be done yet17:32
brothersomeartois, just a choice17:32
MonkeyDustfsociety_  partitioning is the hardest part when you're new to linux, what follows is very easy and swift17:32
artoisonla: you can kill -USR1 the pid and get some output17:32
fsociety_artois: That's the part I don't know how to do. I've always installed Ubuntu alone, never alongside another OS, so I've never had to create partitions manually before.17:32
onlaartois: yea I used that, but the screen is dark now and I cant get to the terminal17:32
artoisfsociety_: you don't have to create partitions manually17:32
artoisfsociety_: just point the installer at the empty space, not the already-used-by-windows space17:33
artoisonla: CTRL+ALT+F2?17:33
fsociety_artois: In the installation, I have to select "something else," correct?17:33
artoisonla: why'd you want to wipe the disk?17:33
artoisfsociety_: which version of Ubuntu?17:33
fsociety_artois: It's 14.04.0217:34
onlaim selling the pc and I wanted to format it or such. ctrl alt f2 not giving me terminal window or anything either17:34
brothersomeonla, shred is much easier and faster17:34
artoisfsociety_: I imagine the first 'alongside' option will suffice17:35
artoisbrothersome: shred is both slower, more pointless, and not applicable to his situation17:35
keithmorgI think I put too much info in my original request. My main problem is nothing can get to my shares on the server. Connection refused. All raids are mounted and accessible locally.17:35

MikeRLBack. I noticed I'm only having issues it seems with the show desktop shortcut.17:42
OneMattHodgepodge collections of parts, but an old AMD and some ddr1 sticks.17:42
MikeRLIf I assign a combo, like CTRL+ALT+D to show the desktop, it will work only once if I switch via ALT+TAB to show the desktop and press CTRL+ALT+D immediately. After the first keypress it doesn't work at all until I select it from ALT+TAB again.17:43

MonkeyDustMikeRL  try windows-key D to show the desktop17:43
OneMattIt gets stuck at the loading screen, and will either a) exit to shell, b) go into kernel panic after 20+ minutes of the loading screen, or c) stall at the loading screen, sometimes for up to half an hour plus.17:44
MikeRLIs that the default?17:44
MikeRLMonkeyDust, what exactly does Win+D do?17:44
MonkeyDustMikeRL  shows the desktop17:45
Amozkeithmorg, I don't rememeber. But you can surely check the logs as well.17:45
Amozfor the samba server, that is.17:45

MonkeyDustMikeRL  instead of asking, try it yourself17:45
OneMattIf needed, I can give the specs of the hardware.17:45
daftykinsOneMatt: so rather than it won't install, really it's the live session that won't boot?17:45

daftykinsOneMatt: check the disk and run memtest before going any further17:46

MikeRLMonkeyDust, Still doesn't seem to work.17:48

AmozOneMatt, checking memory, you can find it in the bootmenu for ubuntu17:48
OneMattBecause I am at 70k+ errors and counting...17:48
OneMattMake that 100K.17:48
Amozmolgrum, probably newer modules for the GPU17:48
AmozOneMatt, sounds like it's borked17:48
daftykinsOneMatt: what, on running memtest? so your RAM is bad.17:48
OneMattOdd.17:49
MikeRLIs there a terminal command I could use to simulate showing the desktop? That may help.17:49
keithmorgAmoz. I have verfied that Samba is running (Samba on the command line).  I am suspicious that it has something to do with defaults being set after the upgrade and I need to define something. I am not a linux person but I can use the terminal17:49
daftykinsnot odd for some old DDR1 you cobbled together ;)17:49
OneMattThe supremely odd thing is that winXP was working on this thing just yesterday.17:49
AmozOneMatt, have you recently touched/reinserted the RAM?17:49
keithmorgPossibly in localhost....just a guess from a novice.17:49

=== user is now known as Guest24408
Amozdaftykins, I'm not convinced. I recently removed my RAM to try out another MB, and I got the same errors for one of the sticks. Reinsertion solved the problems.17:52
MikeRLTHat's odd. If I add show desktop to the launcher, and use it once, the keyboard shortcut works more often.17:52
daftykinsAmoz: oh well :)17:52
OneMattLooks like it is the 256MB sticks I got out of the dell at fault, oh well.17:52
daftykinsOneMatt: cleaning the connector pins with a pencil eraser before reinsertion is always good, as is taking a toothbrush to the slots17:53
daftykinsanyway, knew that wasn't ubuntu at fault ;)17:53
OneMattYeah, I kind of suspected it was a hardware issue.17:53
OneMattIs it ok to turn off the power in the middle of memtest?17:54
AmozOneMatt, yes17:54
daftykinsif you did you wouldn't have come in here, an OS support channel17:54
AmozOneMatt, can you boot it now when the faulty sticks are removed? Did you try reinsert and memtest again?17:54
OneMattIt is still running the first memtest, but not for long.17:54
daftykinsit's always frustrating when someone claims they knew what was wrong all along.17:54
MikeRLVery strange. It doesn't seem to like it if I'm quick with showing the desktop. But the behavior improved a lot when I added the Show Desktop buttonn to the Unity Launcher.17:54
keithmorgI don't17:54
OneMattIf you were here last night, you would have seen me blaming the HDD.17:55
OneMattWhich was still wrong, but not lubuntu's fault.17:55
MikeRLGuess I was too used to how Windows was by default. If I slowly press Win and then D a few seconds later, everything works.17:57

xochilpiliim sorry by my english, but how to make an customized ubuntu version or i dont know how to call this; and another doubt is how can i know if this is a live version or is this preinstalled in the usb?18:31
OerHeks!uck18:31
ubottuuck is a tool that helps you customise official Ubuntu Live CDs (including Kubuntu/Xubuntu and Edubuntu) to your needs. See http://uck.sourceforge.net/18:31
frostyfrogI actually came here to ask if anyone knew how to get a Xubuntu VM to respect the window size of virt-manager (and share the cursor with the host. capturing the cursor is annoying)18:31
OerHeksxochilpili, it is not easy to do18:32
Comstockfrostyfrog, #Xubuntu18:32
wileeexochilpili, both types of install are noticeably different18:32

Comstocklive versions run off of media usb/cd/dvd18:33
xochilpilii have mounted the usb in my fedora workstation; and i can see all the files; /boot/ and all tree18:33

Comstockdid you install it to the usb or was it a live cd converted to usb18:34
OerHeksxochilpili, just boot it, if the installer starts, it is  a live iso.18:34
frostyfrogisn't there a user named "live" or "livecd" when it's not a complete install?18:34
wileeethe os is the user18:34
wileeegood point18:35
xochilpiliThis boot, but doesnt start because is looking for some hardware; in a loop...18:35
xochilpilithere's no installer, just a splash plymouth in back <pressing ESC> i see how it's looking for a specific card reader hardware18:37
keithmorghe's back! Still no joy. The server is not seen by anything else on the local network. It connect to the internet only.18:40

xochilpiliEriC^^, af riend give me a usb, in it is a customized version of ubuntu; then, i have boot it from his usb in Virtualbox, when it starts there's a splash, then i press ESC key, and i can see that it's looking for a card reader hardware, in a loop, so, the OS never starts because i havent this card reader.18:44
TJ-which is the simplest-to-configure FTP server we have in the archives?18:44
jwashTJ: VSFTPD18:44
xochilpiliI was thinking, how does he did it? how can i pass this card reader and finish the boot process? and how can i make a sub-version of his version?18:44

blizzowI added the webupd8 ppa to get oracle java. I had previously installed the package oracle-java8-installer and upgraded to the oracle-java9-installer.  I then did apt-get purge oracle-java8-installer.  On some of my machines when I do an aptitude search oracle-java8-installer is shows the state is pi , on other machines it's just p.  From what I understand of aptitude, p means there is no trace of the package and i means it's installed.  How do I get a packa19:02

goddarddaftykins oh? what is recommended?19:11
daftykinsgoddard: probably latest from AMD if you game19:12
ioriasilva i see....   maybe a good swap file19:12
OerHeksnothingmuch, maybe apt history, or softwarecenter history19:12
goddarddaftykins not to worried about gaming just dont want to it to go black and id like the performance increases as opposed to the open drivers that work great but aren't as fast19:12
daftykinsyeah, up to date from AMD then19:13
TJ-ioria: Yes, I had checked /etc/{passwd,group} to ensure ftp was configured correctly.  Instructing the CDU to reboot and fetch the firmware over FTP now... here's hoping19:13
ioriaTJ-  good luck19:14
TJ-ioria: thanks... funny thing is, looking at the installed /home/ftp/pub/ it contains older firmware for these same CDUs ... so obviously I used vsftpd to upgrade the firmware some years ago :)19:15

wileeecihhan, This a live iso boot, or a server or net install?21:39

wileeecihhan, Not a big deal, but is a different install slightly. I see 4 partitions, under a msdos that s the max primary partitions, you can have. It may be you have msdos partitions from the look with gpt remnants in the table, hard to tell at this point.21:50

BlackDalekwileee, yes. It is not listed when you add new printer.22:47
wafflejockSmokie, you can use rsync to just backup all of your critical files (your home folder, your /etc your /var/log maybe) but in terms of a full snapshot the regular filesystem doesn't support it22:47

Smokiemainly cuz i have a LAMP running on it and its on 24/722:49
wafflejockSmokie, take a snapshot from the get go with Clonezilla once things are stable, then for your dailys just have it backup files you use22:49
wileeeBlackDalek, I see multiple manuals in the zip.22:49

wileeeBlackDalek, Not an area I can confidently help otherwise, sorry about that.22:50
bekksSmokie: For "LAMP settings" just use rsync.22:50
bpromptSmokie:     likely none of them unworkable, as wafflejock  pointed out, safest way is to do it no when the partition or hdd is running processes and doing lots of i/o,  but when is idle and all you're doing is reading it22:50
Smokiewell.. the way you said it now might work for me wafflejock22:50
bekksSmokie: Export/dump your databases as well, done.22:51
wafflejockSmokie, works for me :)22:51
JRogerswafflej0ck_: what linux need is a way to backup all files to recreate the same environment after reinstall22:51
wafflejockJRogers, yeah would be nice22:51
Smokieso basically do full backup with clonezilla.. then daily backups of my critical data.. if i change any LAMP settings, like for apache or php, i just do another clonezilla backup when i can22:51

BlackDalekHas anyone here had success installing a Fuji Xerox printer on Ubuntu? Specifically a ApeosPort-III?22:54
wafflejockSmokie, yeah I've used duplicity (built into ubuntu gnome) or grsync sure those pages have more options22:54
Smokiegrsync has a GUI?22:54
Smokieive heard that name before22:54
wafflejockwell grsync is the gui for rsync22:54
=== rob is now known as Guest14700
wafflejockit just lets you pick options in a gui instead of flags at the command line22:55
JRogerstoo bad you can use the ubnutu cloud anymore22:55
Smokieah cool22:55
JRogerscant use the ubuntu cloud22:55
JRogersto sore backups22:55
JRogersstore22:55
teaearlgraycoldI just looked over someone's shoulder in my CS class and saw this code: http://pastebin.com/eu39viRX22:55
bekksJRogers: Even having a decent connection, it would take ages to actuall upload/download backups.22:56
bekks*actually22:56
tintedwindowshow much space do you get on ubuntu cloud 8?22:57
tintedwindowsfor free i mean22:57
JRogersbekks not if you using btrfs and didnt make hole lot of changes to the default instal22:57
bekksJRogers: So how long ill it take for you to upload lets say 10GB data?22:58
xiterrex&list22:58
JRogersi could leave it running over night22:59
bekksJRogers: Thats only for uploading _one_ backup :P22:59
JRogersyou just backup the btrfs snapshots23:00
JRogersshould be like 50 megas a dayt23:00
bekksJRogers: And then you will have to restore 750 snapshots after 2 years? :)23:00
bewbzHello23:01
CraytorWhen I run this: ffmpeg -f x11grab -vc x264 -s xga -r 30 -b:v -g 300 -i :1.0 session-recording.avi, I get: :1.0: protocol not found, any suggestions?23:01
JRogersno the sanpshoots are incremental23:01
JRogersyou dont upload a new one everyday23:01
bekksJRogers: Then your snapshots will be much larger, when regularly updating your system.23:01
JRogersyou just merge with the previous one23:01
JRogersthats how dnf works23:02
wafflejockJRogers, yeah tarsnap offers something like what you're talking about23:02
wafflejockJRogers, it locally encrypts and dedups the data23:02
wafflejockbut it can still be a long time for 10GB initial upload or whatever it may be23:02
bewbzDoes ubuntu one deliver to the US? I need buy a dvd23:02

bewbzbekks: It doesn't can. I can select Boot from USB in the bios menu, but it just never works. I'm not the only who has trouble gigabyte mobos. apparently they don't boot from usbs easily23:09
Ghhos7so if someone can help me that woudl be great23:09
nekanethanks g200023:09
Ghhos7would*23:09
wafflejockGhhos7, try to run nautilus from a terminal23:10
wafflejockGhhos7, see if it spits out an error23:10
Ghhos7wafflejock does the same thing23:10
Ghhos7i tried to find the error online but no one got the same one23:11
wafflejockGhhos7, what's the error?23:11
wafflejockGhhos7, if it's multiple lines use paste.ubuntu.com23:11
Ghhos7http://paste.ubuntu.com/11996557/23:12
wafflejockGhhos7, also lsb_release -a, give use the exact version of Ubuntu you're running23:12
Ghhos7thats it23:12

wafflejockyeah23:13
=== zz_denbeiren is now known as denbeiren
wafflejockbewbz, have had hit or miss with some USB drives and some USB ports on different computers, can be flaky at times but would try a few USB ports, disconnecting anything unnecessary and give it another go, the board says it supports it, if it doesn't work from the boot menu try going into the BIOS setup and adjusting the boot order23:14
Ghhos7<wafflejock> this is the link to what i got from the second command you gave me http://paste.ubuntu.com/11996565/23:15
OneMattHow would I run a Java program in Lubuntu?23:15
JRogerstry using another program to make the use bootable frive23:15
wafflejockGhhos7, thanks23:15
Ghhos7<wafflejock> not you who should be the one saying that23:15
wafflejockGhhos7, did you add or remove any software recently?23:15
Ghhos7<wafflejock> thank you23:15
OneMattOnly the policy tools are showing up in the software list, and it tries to open the jav with archive manager.23:16
bewbzi tried every USB port and adjusted the boot order. I used  a PNY apache flash drive.23:16
wileee!java | OneMatt this may help23:16
ubottuOneMatt this may help: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software  Development Kit" (SDK).  Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations.23:16
JRogershow did you creat the usb drive?23:16
kgirthoferhola - is there some keyboard shortcut for shutter's selection tool?23:17
OneMattI installed the Java 7 JDK, which also brings in the Java 7 JRE.23:17
Ghhos7<wafflejock> i wanted to delete a version of wine so what i put in was "sudo apt-get purge wine 6.0" and it ended up really badly i have been recovering from morning now and its 2 am so i ran the same command "sudo apt-get install 6.0" and it installed 1,000 something MB and the it told me to restart and nautilus didnt work23:17
g2000OneMatt: I had the same issue a while ago. I ended up creating a custom .desktop file for running JAR archives...23:18
OneMattOh.23:18
g2000OneMatt: Just run "java -jar $ARCHIVE_NAME_HERE"23:18
nekaneQuit: Leaving23:18
kgirthofernevermind I figured it out23:19
OneMattInvalid or corrupt jarfile.23:19
OneMattAh, got it.23:19
wafflejockGhhos7, gotcha okay lets try to just purge nautilus by itself hopefully and then reinstall, that seems like an okay plan23:20
OneMattHm, even setting the executable bit didn't do it.23:20
wafflejockGhhos7, when you use apt-get you can use the -s flag to simulate which means it will just show you the options but not actually install anything23:20
g2000OneMatt: But you can place the .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications/. You can run JAR-files by double-clicking on them after doing this.23:21
OneMattOk, how do I make this .desktop file?23:21
g2000OneMatt: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UnityLaunchersAndDesktopFiles23:22
wafflejockGhhos7, you can, sudo killall nautilus, then sudo apt-get purge nautilus -s, if everything it just says its removing nautilus or nautilus and a few packages that depend on it you should be okay to not have a bunch of packages get removed on you again23:23
OneMattAh, that looks really easy.23:23
wafflejockif that simulated one goes fine, go ahead and just purge the package (this removes the binaries and deletes the configuration for the program) then sudo apt-get install nautilus23:23

g2000OneMatt: Use "Exec=/your/path/to/java -jar %f"23:28
TJ-Any ideas why the Firefox chrome and content is being rendered abnormally large (even with new profile), as if the display DPI is low, whereas Chromium renders correctly (145 DPI, 1920x1200px) see http://imgur.com/x4yuvZb23:36
OneM_IndustriesSo, one router crash later.23:38
g2000TJ: tried safe mode?23:40
bewbzDo you guys trust this site for setting up my USB to boot from. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/testing-your-system-for-usb-boot-compatibility/23:41
bewbzI want to give this another shot23:41
Spiderwhy don't you use terminal command instead?23:43
TJ-g2000: Yes, tried everything I can think of. I suspect it's something to do with Firefox using the gtk-2 libraries/theme, but not been able to track down what might cause it. It only started when I moved the laptop from its usual position on the workbench where it usually drives 6 monitors over 3 GPUs, and I had something similar but that was when a display was rotated and the DPI calculated incorrectly. I've checked that and its fine.23:43
romualdoHi, I have 20gb ram, and my BIOS recognize it, but ubuntu just recognizes 11,2gb ram, someone can tell me how fix it ?23:44
artoisromualdo: what makes you think Ubuntu only recognizes 11,2?23:44
=== zz_denbeiren is now known as denbeiren
TJ-romualdo: can you "pastebinit <(sudo dmidecode)"23:45
romualdoartois: when i go to: About this computer, show only 11,2gb23:45
romualdoTJ-: ok, one moment23:45
neorpheushey does anyone know if there is a working solution to steam not working in 64 bit ubuntu with nvidia (non optimus) graphics23:46
AndroidHackercan u use the shred command on block devices... ie shred /dev/sdc23:47
artoisdoubt it, but you could try it23:48
artoisshred without -n 0 is a waste of time, though, FYI23:48
g2000neorpheus: What in detail is not working?23:48
AndroidHackerartois, i know -n but i just mean shred in general, regardless of options23:49
artoistry it and see23:49
AndroidHackerbut thanks23:49
neorpheusg2000, specifically, upon launching steam i am greeted with a window stating "OpenGL GLX extension is not supported byt the display"23:49
ziggySobotkahi23:50
ziggySobotkaterminator vs screen?23:50
romualdoTJ-: pastebin.com/6wCyMsCv23:50
TJ-AndroidHacker: The best way to randomise a block device is do "cryptsetup LuksFormat /dev/sdX" then "cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdX blat" then "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/blat" << (this step is very fast randomisation) ... then "cryptsetup luksClose blat" and wipe the LUKS header with "dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdX bs=2M count=1"23:50
AndroidHackerill try it out.. thanks23:51
bewbzis this a safe site?23:52

bewbzanyone here ever build a PC? I'm trying to rectify a horrible build with a 64 bit OS : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/66kV8d23:53

squintyziggySobotka,  by any chance do you mean "terminal" rather than terminator?23:53
ziggySobotkanope23:54
ziggySobotkaI meant terminator23:54
ziggySobotkathe multiplexer23:54
neorpheusg2000, i can provide full system specs if nessecary23:54
g2000neorpheus: Sounds like a driver issue, are you using nouveau or closed-source nvidia drivers?23:54
TJ-romualdo: That looks as if you've got incompatible bank config, if you look at the address mapping of the first DIMM it overlaps the mapping of DIMMs 2 and 3... which together 8+4 = 12 GB which is what you're seeing23:55

OneM_Industriesg2000: so I have made a .desktop file, how do I use it?23:56
romualdoTJ-: The Range Size of one of the two 8gb slots appears 1kb23:57
romualdoTJ-: how can i fix this bank config ?23:57
neorpheusg2000, i am glad you asked about the drivers. i thought i had selected the proprietary drivers for my 2 cards. but apparantly i did not select them for my quadros which are the ones im trying to render steam on. i will select the proprietary drivers and reboot23:57
g2000OneM_Industries: Just copy it into ~/.local/share/applications/23:58
OneM_IndustriesDone. How do I use it?23:59
OneM_IndustriesActually, there is no .local folder...23:59
squintyhave you turned on hidden files?23:59
TJ-romualdo: It looks to be as if the mobo requires matched pairs, and you've only got 1 DIMM in the 1st bank23:59
OneM_IndustriesOh, found it.23:59
