[00:08] hi , how can i use only a usb wireless card and not the internal, in a notebook ? [00:09] krabador, Be sure it works and use it, many cheap plug and play out there, marked as such in searches [00:09] wileee, it works, but it seems i can't disable the internale, for use only the external [00:09] krabador, Should show in the network manager or what ever your control is on your desktop [00:10] krabador, I believe i will default to the ethernet [00:10] if i try to disable the one, both don't works [00:11] krabador, You will have to give good details, you're not new here. [00:12] krabador, 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? [00:13] showing does not always mean working [00:18] why do those ppl dance like that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgGEwqaZLKc [00:19] !topic | ntz [00:19] ntz: Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information.

I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 [00:28] PS/2 keyboard/mouse/touchpad shows 300+wakeups, and Local Interrupts goes up to 260 when using the touchpad. [00:28] Guest21111, Little loose in the description, can you detail that a bit more, compartmentalize? [00:29] wileee: 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. [00:30] wileee: 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] Guest21111, 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. ;) [00:31] hello [00:32] worth it upgrading from 14.04lts to 15.04? [00:32] Guest21111, ps2 mouse and keyboard is a bit old hardware, I believe basically shut off on new releases, but still thee. [00:32] imho, no. I'd stick with 14.04 LTS till the next LTS comes out. [00:32] feneco_, Your decision. [00:33] wileee: 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%. [00:34] Guest21111, 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.

[00:36] wileee: No, this is my first time in the IRC [00:37] wileee: In a few years anyway. [00:37] synthor< are the tech help? [00:38] synthor - Guest21111, An issue if I knew this area would be your hardware info cpu, ram...etc, I would include this and proof is all for help. Very good help here but some want enough info to help as a start. [00:39] can anyone here help with a bios issue? [00:39] !ask [00:39] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [00:39] datahood, everybody here is free volunteer tech help/ [00:39] BIOS is beyond the scope of ubuntu support really. [00:39] ok [00:39] sorry [00:39] but you have to ask the question for us to know what you're on about [00:39] ok [00:41] I been trying to get help all day...I tried to update fire fox browser last night and clamtk reported a virus from the firefox update [00:42] 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] datahood, firefox updates come through via the repo's updating process [00:42] it's weird, so ubuntu 14.04 wont have software updates? like java or firefox? [00:42] datahood, You are using the ubuntu repos on both apps correct? [00:42] datahood: and somehow you hop from this to BIOS? [00:42] 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. [00:43] doctorly, you can [00:43] 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? [00:44] daftykins< 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 drive [00:44] doctorly, some details might help [00:44] datahood: sorry that's a crazy leap [00:45] daftykins, 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 earlier [00:45] daftykins, long story short is just trying to reinstall to 64-bit but can't get the bootable media going [00:45] 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. [00:46] wafflejock: righty-o, thanks for the heads up :) [00:46] wafflejock: thanks [00:46] doctorly, So you want the usb as the grub boot always or you need to get in now to fix this on the HD? [00:47] doctorly, End goal? [00:47] Hey! [00:47] I have a home server, and I want to setup a nas (public w/ private accounts) [00:47] any idea how I can do that/ [00:48] nahtnam: which part is relevant to ubuntu? [00:48] daftykins: The home server is running ubuntu [00:48] server [00:48] 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] nahtnam: ok so setup samba then? [00:48] wafflejock: 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 115200 [00:48] daftykins: Kk, thanks. [00:50] the intel websites says my graphics card don't support linux.. Is that BS? [00:50] doctorly_ 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] Its Intel pentium b960 with intel hd graphics. [00:50] i believe the intel hd graphics is 2nd gen intel. [00:51] doctorly_ That is checking if a no on board grub is not usable, may be, just not sure here. [00:52] bad wording strike the no, mistaken type [00:52] 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] lmao [00:52] my b [00:53] !pm | doctorly_ [00:53] doctorly_: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. [00:53] like I said, my b [00:53] Does most graphics cards support linux or they'll say it don't but it loads fine? [00:53] doctorly_, If it can be done, there are handfuls I see here daily, writing code for users at time, way beyond a support scenario in excellent service. [00:53] daftykins: ok I guess wafflejock gone? [00:54] o0 [00:55] doctorly, supergrub should bot it for now, I would hold out for the onboard and you knowing how to do it. [00:55] wileee: it is just a chainloader but in the reverse order to the way people usually do it. I am juts struggling to get it working. I'm sure supergrub will work for now though [00:55] wileee: at least until I can get the help I need [00:56] pesky nick there is doctorly & doctorly_ [00:56] that both of you [00:56] just making sure your notified is all with either [00:57] wileee: Yeah, I'm on both, my laptop is on live distro and I don't want to kill it every time I boot [00:57] cool === Blaster is now known as Guest59552 [00:58] Has anyone recently bought a dell xps ubuntu version?

[01:00] pure voodoo [01:00] datahood: you could use a flash drive instead [01:01] i been having trouble mounting a flash drive [01:01] probably boot it with grub, just a guess with a bit difference, grub is 32 bit [01:02] wow!

[01:26] datahood, Why? [01:27] because it want let me reinstall anything..screen just blink and goes from new install screen to grub [01:27] grub is required to boot [01:28] datahood, 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] ok [01:28] so how can I boot from usb or cd? [01:29] datahood, Use the per-session boot and make sure the medis is good. [01:29] media* [01:29] wileee< what is the per session boot? [01:30] datahood, 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 f12 [01:30] mine is f-12 [01:30] so what do you mean by per-session? [01:31] datahood, If you are not booting from there with the media, I would check the media. === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [01:31] datahood, per-session is that when you boot from that f12 menu at least here it is not a saved choice [01:31] its not the media...I have numerous versions of linux....and windows...neither will boot from cd [01:33] datahood, We can only assume all that media is good, problem here is over the net only so much can be done, especially depends on at least he user with issue is skilled in the tests needed to confirm any issue, here the media. [01:33] the* [01:35] datahood, Your for from any good descriptions or cause and effect that works is all. ;) You might find some local help. [01:36] well all I know is that this user knows bad media and it want load after clamtk logged and quarantine a virus...local help it is theen [01:43] when installing Gnome, is gdm simply a gnome login screen instead of the standard ubuntu one? [01:44] wileee< just ran a virus scan and can not delete 3 files found nor quarantine them...any suggestions? [01:59] I think I broke my install, although I don't think I did anything too odd [01:59] it was on a live usb though so I'm pretty safe, no real data lost [01:59] Nectar, basically yea [02:00] how do I make an iptable rule persistent? [02:01] can gnome be installed in the application center instead of though termininal? [02:01] is that possible [02:03] Hopefully somebody knows how to do this. I'm looking to search a website for all '*.dta' files and print their directories. Is that possible? [02:04] energizer, do you have an shell account to the webserver machine? [02:05] pzn no. i was thinking something with wget --spider | grep would work, but i can't quite figure it otu [02:05] out* [02:06] Nectar, search for ubuntu-gnome-desktop [02:07] !info ubuntu-gnome-desktop [02:07] ubuntu-gnome-desktop (source: ubuntu-gnome-meta): The Ubuntu GNOME metapackage. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.38 (vivid), package size 3 kB, installed size 28 kB [02:08] energizer, maybe this: wget -r -l 999 -np http://your-site.com than later you do "find . | grep -i dta$" in the downloaded structure [02:08] Anyone use f.lux in Ubuntu? [02:08] if i intend on using gnome what are the benifits of downloading ubuntu-gnome rather than downloading and installing ubuntu and then installing gnome? [02:09] pzn: what was that? === zz_denbeiren is now known as denbeiren [02:11] pzn: that will download the whole site, no? (it's too big to do that) === Guest59552 is now known as Blaster [02:12] energizer, but you don't have access to the website server, to search at directories... how could you find all files without downloading all the website? [02:13] pzn: there are a lot of large files on the site, i don't want to download them all, i just want to search them to locate the ones i want [02:14] energizer, I'm not good at websites. does the website has a page that lists all files? [02:15] pzn: not that i can see [02:15] pzn: or have seen, anyway [02:16] energizer, sorry... don't know how search all *.ext files from a website without downloading all the files, or without downloading a file list :-( [02:21] sorry [02:22] no worries pzn thanks [02:22] energizer, you are welcome [02:25] pzn: as far as searching a specific website, you might try using Google's Site Search ... Example: In the Google search bar enter - site:www.imdb.com gravity === denbeiren is now known as zz_denbeiren [02:28] pzn: you will see that all the results from that search are within the www.imdb.com domain [02:31] I had added a ppa (java) to my repository. and Now I have a hard time removeing it.. Here are the steps I have taken so far.. [02:32] sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:webupd8team/java --- hangs forever.. [02:32] hey energizer, take a look into what Tex_Nick wrote. it may help your needs [02:33] Would installing ubuntu gnome use less space than installing ubuntu and then the gnome shell? [02:33] Nectar: an interesting question [02:33] Removed the file from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [02:33] apt-key list; apt-key del $ID ; then removed the id for the java ppa.. but when I run sudo apt-get update/upgrade, it is still connecting to java url to download it.. [02:33] Nectar: they'd both use a lot [02:34] Ububegin, use ppa purge for that [02:34] I have 55 gigs available on my hdd [02:34] !ppa-purge | Ububegin [02:34] Ububegin: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [02:35] Anybody running mess on 14.4? [02:35] mess = mesos* [02:35] 0 6 * * * will only run the command one time at 6 AM correct? [02:36] yep [02:36] Is 55 gigs suitable for ubuntu? [02:36] dcope: one time a day [02:36] Nectar: more than enough [02:36] far more [02:37] exceedingly more [02:37] artois: yeah, that's what im trying to achieve. just run once at 6 AM every day [02:37] nearly twice as much as a thoroughly loaded down power user's system [02:37] pzn: sorry my friend, I didn't scroll up far enough to see that it was energizer that I should have directed that post to [02:37] Nectar, basic single partition install is maybe 6 gigs, lower really [02:38] is the 6 gigs for the os? [02:38] Tex_Nick, no problem [02:38] bazhang: I am not able to "sudo apt-get install ppa-purge" http://pastebin.com/TpF9LU5g [02:38] Nectar, What else would be in one partition? [02:38] Nectar: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [02:39] i just need to decide how much space i should give for the partition, to include all the programs. [02:41] Nectar, Basic use I would start with 20 gigs, you can resize in general if needed, some make a separate home, I don't one partition here for the os and a swap in another slightly more than the ram amount [02:42] all the programs is your analysis if beyond a basic install in size needed. [02:44] How do I clear a ppa from my system. This ppa had some problems as one of it url was down.. But NOW , i cant remove it.. http://pastebin.com/TpF9LU5g [02:44] wileee, so i can have a seperate home on an external hdd? [02:45] Nectar, This all intended to be external? Be really clear of your intent please. [02:45] you can have a sep-a-rate one =) [02:46] you can have anything you want, really [02:46] OS on the SSD and other files on an External [02:46] Ububegin: Im not good with ubuntu, but I believe you can remove ppa's from the Ubuntu Software Center [02:46] artois, Please don't make broad statements. It is obvious we are trying to be accurate here. === zz_denbeiren is now known as denbeiren [02:47] Nectar, I would not, even a usb3 external will be slow, your call. [02:47] thank you [02:47] so... weird problem. it seems when i try to use wget or curl or znc on my ubuntu box, nothing resolves anymore. even google.com... yet the websites on the box are running fine. i'm using virtualmin as well if that matters. haven't ever had this issue before. [02:47] nahtnam: I am on Ubuntu Server.. there is no Softwware centre [02:47] Ububegin: Oh ok, I dont know what do to then [02:48] wileee: we were already accurate, though [02:48] please try to... keep up? =) [02:48] Nectar, I would store media, docs...in general externally if space is an issue. [02:49] artois, If you don not understand the statement argue with your momma, who takes care of the indigenous and poor. ;) [02:50] How do I clear a ppa from my system. This ppa had some problems as one of it url was down.. But NOW , i cant remove it.. http://pastebin.com/TpF9LU5g [02:50] well who can argue with that =) [02:53] Ububegin, You have been at variations of this right for at least a day? [02:54] wileee: just for the past hour.. :) And also cant seem to install any other software like ppa-purge as well... :S [02:56] Ububegin, If you can't so the ppa never downloaded right, just is in your sources.list.d? [02:56] ignore If you can't [02:57] wilee : it didnt even download the first time.. so that's why i wanted to remove it.. === denbeiren is now known as zz_denbeiren [02:58] Ububegin, No desktop, just the base/server? [02:58] wileee: I have removed the file from the sources.list.d directory.. Yup using the server edition [02:59] Ububegin, Ah, but some where your apt-get got broken? Can we see that if so all commands and output in a pastebin. [03:03] wilee : http://pastebin.com/gwgKxmf5 .. it will take some for it to fail.. [03:04] Ububegin, Your earlier link looks like you were installing web updates ppa, really a confusing scenario somewhat and honestly none of which supported here, ppa's are your own responsibility. [03:05] Ububegin, We will help on occasion, especially removing, but you have to be on the ball, so we can do tis in maybe 3-4 posts. [03:05] wileee: Actually, I just want to remove this ppa shit from my system... Because of this, I unable to install anything else.. [03:06] I 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 u [03:06] p a new liveboot drive on a different thumbdrive. I am currently running Ubuntu live from that disk. My question is this: how do I reinstall at this point without making any mistakes? ie my disk was already partitioned [03:06] wileee: sure, i can do that.. [03:07] Ububegin, 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 pastebin [03:10] wileee: no issues at this point... heres the pastebin http://pastebin.com/YZazkZbc [03:12] Ububegin, I will take your word you did not include all of the text, always do that. Now pastebin running sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [03:13] vhost /Cloaks [03:14] From the ubuntu desktop I clicked the install icon and have progressed to a screen that says "This computer currently has Windows Boot Manager and Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS on it. What would you like to do?" [03:15] redrum187, I beleive you were told to use the something else option and use the partitions built, and were given the mount / info etc. This sound familiar? [03:15] Yes, it sounds familiar. [03:16] redrum187, Totally correct the info given by a top helper here, you have that info on hand, it is in the channels history most likely. === Ragnar is now known as Guest46030 [03:16] EriC^^: are you online? [03:16] redrum187, You want that info is all I mean. [03:17] I see that info, but I don't know what to do with it/from it. [03:18] wileee: http://pastebin.com/FQJbye4z .. the problem appears now [03:18] redrum187, Ah, that is fine, always best to just say that we all stumble in this area. ;) === zz_denbeiren is now known as denbeiren [03:18] wileee: thank you for your understanding === alpha is now known as Guest90513 [03:19] Ububegin, I believe the consensus was the proxy was probably the issue. [03:19] I think EriC^^ would remember/understand more about this situation than I do, but I don't think he's online [03:20] redrum187, No problem, yeah I would have them look again or there are others as well, I'm not really up on UEFI so want to be careful. ;) [03:20] wileee: Ok, but is there any way still to remove this ppa .. [03:21] Ububegin, 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] 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? [03:21] Should I format and install on the sda labeld Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS? [03:21] wileee: you mean by-passing the proxy.. [03:21] Ububegin, If it is the proxy, that is not our area, you would have to contact them. [03:22] yes bypass, check it in a standard access [03:22] wileee: i have 5 servers (all of them in proxy) and only this has this issue.. [03:22] redrum187, any sda or sdb is the HD not a partition [03:23] Ububegin, and that means? [03:23] wileee: so sda7 is not a partition? [03:23] redrum187, you said sda [03:23] Er, sorry [03:23] redrum187, sda is the HD sda7 is a partition [03:24] wileee: that's why I am more confused.. all of the other machines with the proxy have no issue accessing apt-get .. Only this one.. Maybe I messed up some setting sometwhere.. [03:24] should I install 15.04 HdMedia or 15.04 NetInstall? [03:24] Ububegin, Is it the broken package "1 not fully installed or removed." from your dist-upgrade [03:25] Ububegin, YOu continue to not post all of the terminal info, rather frustrating from here. [03:26] wileee: Ah.. i have posted everything.. what do u mean.. The only thing, i masked was the proxy url.. [03:26] wileee: jfyi, I have posted everything.. [03:26] My system is booting into emergency mode after editing my fstab. :( [03:27] In the installer dialog I show: /dev/sda7 ext4 131GB 5.6GB used Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS (14.04) [03:27] But if I edit it and run mount -a it mounts the new addition fine. So I'm confused. [03:27] Is this where I should reinstall? [03:27] and if so, should I format it? === gerald is now known as Guest66810 [03:29] 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.

[03:31] or kde or xfce or lxde or something? === Dhs92 is now known as Yukkii [03:31] I tried to install on sda7 where it says Ubuntu is already installed and it said no root directory is known [03:32] redrum187, 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 from [03:33] redrum187, You have your cart about a mile in front of you horse. ;) [03:33] Thank you for the feedback. I'm not sure how I should form my questions, or what the correct questions are to ask. [03:35] redrum187, 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. [03:37] redrum187, Note not to detailed, but captures the essence of info needed to start with for a helper to have a general image. [03:39] anyway hope all this helps, we want you to succeed!!! [03:39] I 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] Me, too. [03:39] Thank you for the support. [03:40] redrum187, THe mention of the oem is excellent, good job. ;) no problem helping [03:41] Hi, on 14.04, it was working fine until I got last update. After that wifi stopped working. [03:41] redrum187, 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 actually [03:42] Followup: 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] Ok, good to know. [03:43] redrum187, I'm currently running a dual-boot with Windows 8 as well...what's the manufacturer of the laptop, some of UEFI implementations are different [03:43] ? [03:43] Asus [03:43] redrum187, 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. [03:44] top=to my bad [03:44] redrum187, You are doing fine though, I will leave you alone, heh. [03:45] No problem, I appreciate genuine feedback. [03:47] redrum187, 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] Ubuntu 14.04 wifi stopped working. lshw command shows output *-network UNCLAIMED [03:47] description: Network controller [03:47] product: AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) [03:47] So can anybody help me determine if my computer can run 14.04.2 GNOME? [03:48] That's all I'm really trying to confirm. I have made sure to select "bootloader installation" to the one labeled ubuntu (based on the disk size I know this is correct) but it returns an error saying no root filesystem detected.

[03:55] I installed linux on a second drive so that I can dual boot with windows 10. After the install I was getting the grub rescue screen. I tried to fix it with ubuntu boot-repair app. I can now boot into mint linux, but I cannot boot into windows; the boot menu does not show windows. [03:56] !mint | drvenom [03:56] drvenom: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [03:56] Oh ok sorry, my apologies. [03:56] I'm new to linux, so I thought it was a part of ubuntu. [03:56] @jeremyflexer, it tends to even more system resources than Gnome... [03:56] Does anybody notice on 14.04 at times that their keyboard shortcuts just flat out don't work until you log out and back in? I'm trying to find a fix for it but most of the results I find are for much older Ubuntus. [03:57] !flavors | drvenom, if it's on this list of flavors, it's ubuntu and supported here. if not ... sorry [03:57] drvenom, if it's on this list of flavors, it's ubuntu and supported here. 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. [03:57] Damn. I would do XFCE but it's harder to make pretty haha. [03:57] @jeremyflexer, there's Awesome WM you could try...basically you can script the entire thing (or find someone else's) [03:58] ss [03:59] @jeremyflexer, it's just a Window manager though [03:59] @friedmicro Yeah I used to use awm on debian [04:00] Is there an older version of Ubuntu that is LTS and still active? [04:00] That doesn't use as many system resources? [04:00] Because 14.04 is GNOME3 right?

I want to make a bootable usb but i can't do anything with it [04:39] channman, What have you tried, and how is it formatted? [04:39] wileee I have tried using gparted. how do I tell you how it's formatted? [04:40] channman, was hoping you knew. ;) [04:40] like is it a fat32, ntfs, linux ext...etc [04:41] an apple formatted usb [04:41] well in gparted it says unallocated but it is acting as a readonly folder [04:41] channman, is it unmounted? [04:42] wileee as of now yes [04:42] channman, So it says unallocated, is there anything that was there that you need? [04:43] wileee nope, can wipe it [04:44] channman, 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] new table just to be sure we have a basic fresh table is all [04:46] wileee i am able to do the new table and msdos, but when I choose fat32 it gives me an error [04:48] channman, Can you say the error or would a picture of it be easier, I like a pic, to see the whole thang? [04:49] Is there a lubuntu help channel, or can I ask here? [04:49] is xfce a hard DE for begginers [04:49] ethMiner, xfce is pretty goo [04:49] OneMatt, lubuntu is part of the channel support [04:49] nothing 'hard' [04:49] Matt_teni: whats the hardest for begginers [04:49] Ah, thank you. [04:49] ethMiner, i3 i would say [04:50] cascading and tiling widow manager ethMiner [04:50] Matt_teni: ill get that then [04:50] Matt_teni: xfce is best [04:50] My box will not see a HDD that I have, and refuses to even properly boot with that HDD inserted. [04:50] wileee can i post an imgur link with my screenshot [04:50] ethMiner, good luck :-) [04:50] Oddly enough, it works fine if I put it into a centos 6.6 machine. Any ideas? [04:50] i 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... I read someone else having the same problem and they were told to try to switch drivers... so I tried to switch drivers and now OBS just crashes when I open it and it won't l [04:50] et me select the original driver i was using :( [04:50] grandpppp, yup i really like XFCE [04:51] channman, All this has to have the usb unmounted, cool on a pic [04:51] OneMatt: try changing bios/efi settings [04:51] wileee https://imgur.com/aRUlp8U [04:51] Already have cycled through all settings, no luck. [04:52] The BIOS can see the HDD, as can all the other machines in the house, just not this one, but even then, only when it has l ubuntu on it. [04:52] channman, show me gparted with that closed showing the usb you're working on. [04:53] just the gparted gui as opened [04:53] OneMatt: sometimes fstab needs modification. Try using uid [04:53] Um. How would I do that? === zz_denbeiren is now known as denbeiren [04:54] wileee https://imgur.com/8Bj2uIL [04:55] OneMatt: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab [04:55] channman, So you went to device-create new partition table and clicked yes on the msdos default? [04:55] Ah, thank you. [04:56] wileee yes [04:56] wileee that works fine [04:56] Odd, it is not even seeing the disk under /dev/sd** [04:56] OneMatt: sometimes if the uuid is messed up it will not boot properly. [04:56] and every time i try to redownload the driver i get "Can't find a source to download version '2:14.201-0ubuntu2.1' of 'fglrx-updates:amd64" but everyone else online says that fix works [04:57] how can i view the connected USB device name? [04:58] channman, 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] wileee how exactly do i unmount? [04:58] Ah. [04:58] That might do it. [04:59] channman, You are now, gparted will do it for you on gthe plugin, shutdown gparted before you do any. [04:59] I tried ls /dev and it lists all USB devices but how do I know which one is the one connected? Plz help. [04:59] For some reason, the filesystem of this drive is "promise_fasttrack_raid_member". [05:00] channman, you can unmount the usb if it is, probably is not mounted, as an unalocated [05:01] Matt_teni: sudo blkid what does that say [05:01] not sure [05:01] im on unity as for now [05:02] Matt_teni: type sudo blkid in the terminal [05:03] channman, 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] ok i just did table [05:04] wileee do I unplug now or create partition? === denbeiren is now known as zz_denbeiren [05:04] channman, nah, just wanted to start as fresh on this again as a tewst. [05:04] test* [05:05] ok wileee so create now? [05:05] channman, Yeah, also are you in a live environment or install doing this? [05:05] install. [05:06] cool [05:06] i get the same error after trying to make a fat32 partition wileee [05:06] channman, has there been an automount for it in fstab or anyplace? [05:07] this sticks out to me wileee "unable to open /dev/sdb1: device or resource busy" [05:07] wileee i'm not sure how fstab works [05:07] channman, yeah me to, I just wonder if it is automounting an unallocated. === grandpppp is now known as scumdigdog [05:09] channman, I have to go do a job for a little while so have top go. let me give you the bots fstab info, it is the mounting config for partitions.etc [05:09] !fstab | channman [05:09] channman: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [05:09] wileee thank you for the help [05:10] channman, No problem, unless fried this is fixable, probably a dd clean maybe not sure reall, you need better help. ;) === root is now known as Guest54236 [05:12] Ok, still having an issue.

Do 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' [08:28] wont that update to 15.04 if he's on 14.04 or lower? @somsip [08:29] someone: no. i dont want to upgrade my sustem. i want this version. [08:29] no [08:29] l1n3x: no, that's do-release-upgrade [08:29] oh my bad [08:29] niee: what version of ubuntu are you on? [08:31] somsip: i use 11.04 [08:32] niee: that's not supported, so you will struggle to upgrade. Best advice is to upgrade to a supported version of ubuntu before doing anything [08:37] niee: Why do you not want to update? [08:37] what is @hourly here : "@hourly docker run -volumes-from $MINECRAFT -volumes-from $MAPSERVER mapgenerator" [08:37] This server sucks ... enter irc.netchat.cl !!! ragnar owner awaits !!!

[08:39] somsip: ok. tnx for help. i know this, but not want to update os onlu for one apps. new version is not like for me!!! [08:40] niee: It is not just for one app, it is for everything, security, support, etc. [08:40] yes, i know, but not like new version menu. [08:40] niee: final suggestion would be to try 'apt-get dist-upgrade --dry-run' to see if it lets you just update googel-chrome. It won't install anything but will let you check. And what lordievader says - old, unsupported version are not safe [08:41] niee: Neither do I, hence I switched to Kubuntu ;) === stevenm_ is now known as stevenm [08:42] agent_white: is it a bash feature? [08:43] bq_: A feature from `cron`. [08:44] agent_white: but how bash recognize @?

Check X11 logs? [08:52] systemDcba: Debug logs? Any other logs? [08:53] lordievader: for this to work, cron needs to check each input after return [08:54] bq_: Err, what? Cron just executes what ever is behind @hourly every hour. [08:54] agent_white I viewed them, but as I said don't know what exactly to look for. I can provide them as a paste, though, if that helps [08:54] Luyin: It would help. [08:55] agent_white hang on a sec! [08:55] bq_: Cron will run a job/script, even if it fails. Your script needs to check to ensure it is working. [08:55] Cron only is there to schedule it.

[09:08] systemDcba this is no solution. first, it isn't my own computer, so I won't change the UI for its owner, and second it doesn't solve the problem [09:08] Luyin: Ignore systemd0wn, please. Otherwise your issue could be exacerbated. [09:08] erm [09:09] systemDcba is trolling. Ignore his advice. [09:09] Luyin: log into a tty1 and look with ls -al what is owned by root:root [09:09] agent_white I see [09:09] Luyin: k1l has you covered :) [09:09] Luyin, long story short: sounds like your issue is fixable. slow down, take your time and consider carefully the advice you follow [09:09] k1l http://paste.ubuntu.com/11991818/ nothing unusual afais [09:10] k1l I didn't change anything with python, no [09:10] Luyin: ok the important ones are .Xauthority etc and that are owned by the user. so its not that easy fix [09:11] Luyin: what says the .xsessin-errors ? [09:11] k1l http://paste.ubuntu.com/11991828/ [09:12] there could be something with this line: "mktemp: failed to create file via template ‘/tmp/config-err-XXXXXX’: Permission denied" for I did make a change to fstab to make /tmp a tmpfs [09:13] yep, that could be the reason [09:14] i minimized xchat to tray on my other laptop and i can't find the icon [09:14] how do i fix that? [09:14] texasmad_, try alt tab to switch [09:15] Luyin: what is the line in fstab? [09:15] doesn't show up [09:15] but it's running [09:15] texasmad_: should be in the systray in the "mail"icon menu [09:16] g_byers: 10:05 vs 10:11 ;-) [09:16] g_byers: sorry wrong channel, wrong nick ;-) [09:16] k1l https://bpaste.net/show/9ba8b152cf40 and fstab: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11991841/ [09:16] Luyin, are you logged in as root? [09:17] that's the issue. there is no mail icon. [09:17] cfhowlett not at the moment [09:17] hello === silver is now known as Guest40666 [09:18] Luyin: are you sure about the noexec and mode? [09:18] k1l I got it from the archlinux wiki afair. I wouldn't issue such things myself === apofis_ is now known as apofis [09:19] on my own machine, which is the one I'm currently connected with, I got "tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0" [09:19] Hi, 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] ...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. [09:20] Luyin: yes, that looks better for a start [09:20] k1l so I'm going to try remove anything else than that wich works for me and reboot? [09:20] Hilton, TWO admin accounts? [09:21] I 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] cfhowlett: Set my wife as administrator so she could make policy changes to things like Timekpr without needing MY password. [09:21] Hilton, :) niiiiiice. [09:22] Finding 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. [09:23] So, this is strictly a GUI problem not letting the standard accounts log in with the right password. Why!? [09:24] cfhowlett k1l_ agent_white removing everything but nodev,nosuid did the trick, thanks a lot! [09:24] Luyin, congrats on the fix! [09:25] Hi all, I'm trying to lessen the amount memory used by my chef-runs. A first big change that helps a lot is the use of the partial_search api. It seems a lot of memory gets used by shell's inside the recipes as wel, [09:25] now I feel so stupid for adding these options to fstab :D [09:25] is there a clean way to dispose of the shell's data when the needed data is extracted? [09:25] Guest23617: definitely one to ask the chef experts [09:26] somsip: you are correct, thanks [09:28] cfhowlett: Any idea on why the GUI rejects the passwords? I looked for another group, but the only group they are part of is their own name (i.e. user name morgan, in group morgan). [09:28] when will Kernel 4.1 land in LTS? [09:28] Any suggestions as to why Firefox (or the gtk theme/library) is magnifying all its user interface elements, whereas Chromium (using the system settings) is rendered at normal DPI (see http://imgur.com/x4yuvZb) ? [09:28] Hilton, sorry, no idea. I'm on Ubuntustudio so I have XFCE4, not ubuntu/unity. [09:28] still no mail icon. It's just gone. [09:30] phre4k: the nest release with a 4.X kernel will be 15.10, and after that release there will be the backports kernel from 15.10 after some time. [09:30] !enablementstack | phre4k [09:30] phre4k: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases. see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [09:32] thanks k1l_! [09:33] hi, can i have some help to booting to my laptop ? after using boot-repair , i have this log : paste.ubuntu.com/11991635 [09:36] wget http://www.sigb.net/IMG/documentation_343_fr.zip [09:37] Hi all. I will repeat my earlyer and hope I don`t break any rules. I have a chrooted Ubuntu 12.04 (3.0.101-novafusion+) running on my Samsung S3 mini and I would like to have a functional Arduino UNO v3 connected on the USB. The problem is that I have no /dev/ttyUSB on ubuntu. when I try "modprobe usbserial product vendor" I got: "Could not load /lib/modules/3.0.101-novafusion+/modules.dep". Can anyone help please? PS: I`m kinda [09:38] fixed it [09:38] had to get the topicons extension [09:39] kreazulle: That output suggests the kernel has no additional modules built, or if so, the module dependency info usually found in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.dep isn't there for the android build [09:40] heh [09:41] Ty TJ. Any sugestion on how to bypass this problem? [09:42] kreazulle: Build a full kernel from the novafusion sources with the exact same version and config and make it available to the Ubuntu chroot [09:42] kreazulle: can you run depmod -a which updates the modules.dep ? === ed-09988-23 is now known as funkt1 [09:43] Today when I got back from work and was going to access my samba folder over the network everything was empty. So I sshed to my server and when I try to ls my directory it says "@backup-serverrummet:/media/backup$ 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] akik: there is *no* kernel/modules for the chroot, it's hosted on an Android host [09:44] ok [09:44] johelish: input/output error usually indicates a hardware problem === cartucho is now known as Guest65145 [09:45] Ben64: That's not very promising. The harddrive can't have broken down can they? [09:46] johelish: it can, you should check [09:46] Hi 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] akik 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) [09:47] 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" [09:48] funkt1, xampp is not supported here, use lamp [09:48] !xampp | funkt1 [09:48] funkt1: 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] so anyone here who can help me? [09:48] 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] see above funkt1 [09:48] I have! [09:49] funkt1, there are links on how to get lamp going, please read [09:49] TJ-: There's three discs in the system. One is for the operative system and the other two and for /media/ which we use for share [09:49] I dont like lamp [09:49] any help to boot to my laptop :/ [09:49] funkt1, ask in ##linux for xampp help then, its not supported here [09:49] I Just need some help with xampp [09:49] ok [09:49] boot repair : paste.ubuntu.com/11991635 [09:49] ##linux [09:50] funkt1: then ask the xampp guys for support [09:50] /join [09:50] yeah like thats gonna happen [09:50] funkt1, they are the experts. we are not. [09:51] I understand that but it may take months If I even get a response at all there maybe someone here out off allll these people on this channel and it may simply be a chmod issue or something? [09:51] anyway not here to explain myself [09:51] funkt1, its simply not supported , please stop asking here [09:51] funkt1, https://www.apachefriends.org/community.html lots of support options [09:52] cheers! [09:52] Hi, 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? [09:53] !eolupgrade | lobo_nz, [09:53] lobo_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?

[09:53] Ben64: 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 them [09:54] 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] johelish: check dmesg for errors [09:55] ubottu: thx [09:55] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [09:55] ubottu: Im getting in now before you take over the world [09:55] lobo_nz: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:56] hi, [09:56] is it possible to have help on vsftpd here ? [09:57] nils13: the best thing you can do with vsftpd is uninstall it and use sftp instead [09:57] nils13, possible but only if you give copious details. telepaths use Miley Cyrus OS [09:57] TJ: 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 noob [09:57] ok, will sftp work with Filezilla ? [09:58] nils13: google says yes [09:59] ok, I found something googling sftp and understood sftp work only with command line, I was wrong, ok, I remove vsftp and install sftp ... thanks [09:59] thank you Ben64 [09:59] all you need is a ssh server for it, theres no package called "sftp" [10:01] 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 the [10:01] differences between android and mainline/Ubuntu kernels, and the workflow required, so put aside several days to master it :) [10:02] Ben64: I have openssh-server installed, then how do I install sftp if there is not package named sftp ? [10:02] you're already done [10:03] TJ: Ty for your time and patience. Hopefully after this experience I wil call myself lessnoob :) [10:03] Ben64: ok, I have a Filezilla connexion, I can write in my home dir, but still cannot write on /var/www/html/somedir [10:04] you should be able to write anywhere you user can [10:04] the user I am using, is the first user created when Ubuntu server install [10:04] can you write to /var/www/html/somedir using that user [10:05] Ben64: in a terminal, I use sudo to write anywhere, then, what about FTP via Filezilla ? [10:05] Hi, is there any application on Ubuntu to see what an application doing such as create new folder and settings? [10:06] nils13: you could add your user to the group of the directory, you could take ownership of the directory, theres a few ways to do it [10:07] Ben64: I can write anywhere using sudo in a terminal, and look likes sudo is not available via Filezilla [10:07] correct === trae32566[w]-1 is now known as trae32566[w] === d- is now known as Guest98214 === mikecmpb_ is now known as mikecmpbll [10:09] Ben64: yes, I tried, adding nils to root group, but it does not work, I would like nils to be able to write any where, so I do not want to change all dirs "rights" (don't know the english word) [10:09] don't add to root group, undo that [10:09] and its for security that you can't write anywhere as a normal user === lonix_ is now known as lonix [10:10] Ben64: ok, already deleted, as it did not work [10:10] i think /var/www is owned by www-data or something like that [10:10] you can add your user to that group [10:11] Ben64: then ?, do I have to create a special user for FTP ?, and how I give this user rights to write anywhere ? [10:11] you don't. read what i said about security [10:12] nils13: If you "adduser $USER www-data" you'll also need to allow the "www-data" group *write* access to "/var/www/" and sub-dirs [10:13] ok, 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] you don't need to "write anywhere" over ftp sftp or anything really [10:14] nils13: see http://askubuntu.com/questions/19898/whats-the-simplest-way-to-edit-and-add-files-to-var-www [10:14] hello world [10:15] well fuck you too [10:15] TJ, 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] ok Ben64 [10:17] nils13: /var/www will be owned by root, but the entries in it, and sub-dirs, should be owned by "www-data" [10:18] Ok TJ- , I changed chown www/* to www-data:www-data [10:19] how can I do a setting... that allows me executing bash scripts on (all) ntfs partitions I use ? [10:19] I've seen I have a user and a group named www-data [10:20] now, should I add user nils to group www-data ?, I try ... [10:21] nils13: As far as I recall, "/var/www/html/" is the DocumentRoot for apache, and that already is owned by "www-data" [10:21] no, not enough, still cannot write in /var/www/* [10:21] TJ-: yes, you are right, this is the case [10:21] you do need to re log in in order to have the group stiff to take effect [10:21] group stuff* [10:22] nils13: /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf:12: DocumentRoot /var/www/html [10:22] ok Ben64 , re log via Filezilla, right ? [10:23] nils13: do "sg touch /var/www/html/hello.txt" and you should see the user has write permissions [10:23] no, I re log in Filezilla, but still cannot write in /var/www/ [10:25] nils13: you have to set write permissions for the group. The default is read-only. "chmod -R g+w /var/www/html" [10:27] TJ-: "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-data [10:27] hi , I wonder why after updated nvidia driver my brightness got reset every restart ? [10:27] how to permanent set brightness of nvidia ? [10:27] TJ-: yes I can see, group can only read, I change it ... [10:29] TJ-: it works !!! [10:31] 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] ok, 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 ? [10:32] ok TJ- for sg, I understood [10:32] nils13: user permissions will require any user that wants write access to /var/www/html/ to be a member of www-data group [10:37] TJ-: 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] and Ben64 as well, thanks ! [10:38] when I ps aux | grep ftp I can see /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server, that means openssh has its own ftp server ? [10:38] installed when I apt-get install openssh-server ? [10:40] nils13: see "man sftp" [10:41] ok TJ- === carlo is now known as Guest77105 [10:43] TJ-: man does not tell me if sftp comes with openssh ?, is it a "basic" package of ubuntu server ? [10:43] I do not remember to have installed sftp by myself [10:45] nils13 why should sftp have something to do with openssh? [10:46] nils13: it does [10:46] how to permanent set brightness of nvidia ? for desktop ? [10:46] install openssh-server and you have sftp access too on that machine [10:46] hi [10:46] Luyin: I don't know ?, I try to understand, because of the S ? [10:47] k1l_: so sftp comes with openssh install, right ? [10:47] nils13 no it doesn't. [10:49] do you know an application for hacker a instagram account (sorry for bad english) [10:49] not here [10:49] Luyin: ok, so it comes with Ubuntu server, without having to install it manually ? [10:50] xx_Kr0nUs_xx: an application for hacker a instagram account? [10:50] !hacking | Guest77105, no and we are not going to help you hack anyones account [10:50] Guest77105, no and we are not going to help you hack anyones account: A hacker is a person who delights in having an intimate understanding of the internal workings of a system, computers and computer networks in particular, as defined by Request for Comments (RFC) 1392 - i.e. a good programmer -- crackers on the other hand break systems, see also !piracy [10:51] What 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" === zz_Thelks is now known as Thelks === clobrano is now known as c-lob [10:53] Will this work?: http://ctrlv.in/614573 , keep in mind i'm already splitting the connection in the basement (possibly multiple times) after the coax comes out of the FIBER junction box. The GSH-3F is basically just a glorified splitter with a 3.5db + two 7db outputs, it has a 5mhz to 1000mhz tag on it. HTPC=Ubu box [10:54] XDS2010, the ubuntu box should work. as far as the other stuff, no way we would know. ask ##networking [10:54] I had enable brightness contro l at Device section Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1", what else I need to do set it permanent brightnes to -30 ? [10:55] nils13: sftp comes with openssh-server isntall, yes [10:55] nils13: _server_ is the important part here. [10:56] cfhowlett: best guess on the other stuff ? [10:56] Luyin: when I dpkg -l *ftp* I can read openssh-sftp-server package is installed, so it should had been install with openssh-server install I suppose, as I did not installed it by myself [10:56] XDS2010, best *advice* = ask the networking folks about network issues. [10:56] cfhowlett: he's just been going around to a bunch of channels asking it [10:57] nils13: if you install a server image openssh-server is already installed. since that makes sense on a server. [10:57] k1l_: ok, I understand now why it works, and why I don't need vsftp or proftp [10:58] cfhowlett: ok thanks ill hit up that channel === c-lob is now known as clobrano === clobrano is now known as c-lob [10:59] cfhowlett : I had enable brightness contro l at Device section Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1", what else I need to do set it permanent brightnes to -30 ? [11:00] nbusrone, sorry. no idea. I do try to avoid responding to (the many) things I lack experience with.

[11:08] nils13, you DO now about #ubuntu-server channel?? === ubuntu_user is now known as rcw2 [11:11] cfhowlett: no I did not know there was an #ubuntu-server channel, I did not find it, when I had a look on Google for Ubuntu irc channels [11:11] ok, I am going to #ubuntu-server [11:12] !server | nils13 [11:12] nils13: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI.

[11:22] thats true. i was using win server 2012 before lol EriC^^ [11:23] hog Resources means? BotchlaB [11:23] As in, it doesn't use too much CPU or RAM to function. [11:23] Since you don't have much to spare.

[11:28] starkiller: Why not rsync? [11:28] because im doing it localy:P [11:28] i have a quick question about which file system to use on an install im doing for my dad. I typically use ext4, but im reading that btrfs is better. What are your opinions? [11:30] no need fot rsyc just type filezila ip adress and user name and im in my laptop getting what in need:P [11:30] spoon_of_destiny "better" depends on what ypu prefer and on how skilled you are ... you'll find more support for ext4 [11:30] spoon, 1700 opinions ? [11:30] hi [11:30] !btrfs | spoon_of_destiny [11:30] spoon_of_destiny: Btrfs is a new filesystem available for Ubuntu. It is currently marked as experimental, and should not be used for important data. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/btrfs [11:30] today my copy-paste doesnt work ... [11:30] on the terminal [11:31] yesterday i used the middle buton click [11:31] i also tried ^insert and ctrl+^c [11:31] but doesn't wor [11:31] is it ctrl }+ atl = c or v on terminal :P? [11:32] doesnt work [11:32] anyone's opinion here really hahaha. the thing is i like to learn by trouble shooting, but my dad isn't very technical with computers. He is just going to use it for email, browsing, and the likes. I read that btrfs can rollback if you break something so i thought that might be better for my non-techie dad. Is that a correct assumption to make? [11:32] ctrl+shift+c [11:32] this makes a ^c [11:32] ctrl+c will cancel the running command [11:32] yes [11:33] spoon_of_destiny there's also #btrfs [11:33] yesterday all this worked [11:33] right click paste :P?

Even looking at the mtime the FOOSUMS are newer than the signature files. [14:41] Any suggestion on where/how to best report that? [14:42] nvm. it requires me to change boot manager from bios.

I used to back up my Ubuntu install using tar - and could restore it fairly easily. This doesn't seem to work so well any longer - and wondering what people use to do a back up of your total system (minus the various directories you do not want)? Thanks. === bitcoinassassin_ is now known as bitcoinassassin [14:57] bitcoinassassin, btrfs snapshots or rsync [14:57] cfhowlett: yeah that worked [14:57] molgrum, take a look at your settings in thunderbird [14:57] is there a disk formatting utility on ubuntu 15.4 live cd? or can I install one if I have persistent ubuntu live cd [14:58] Amoz - I've thought about rsync. So if I used rsync I imagine I'd reinstall the basic OS and then update via rsync? [14:58] molgrum, specifically [14:58] I need to wipe 1TB disk totally and it has mbr and boot partitions and many other partitions [14:58] so I would boot from usb live and then totally wipe with some tool like gparted maybe? === oli is now known as Guest25563 [14:58] onla: you don't need persistence to install an app in a live session, yes it comes with one [14:59] ok cool thanks [14:59] cfhowlett: thanks, i set it to a european standard instead of US and now it works [14:59] onla: what are you trying to achieve? you could go nuclear with a full zero fill if you so wish [14:59] molgrum, 'tis magic, innit? [14:59] :D [15:00] daftykins: how I would do that? [15:00] onla: I used to use http://www.dban.org/ to wipe a drive. Overwrites everything - mbr, partitions, etc. [15:00] bitcoinassassin, you can backup everything as long as you exclude the non-FS parts of the tree I Believe. [15:00] onla "man shred" [15:01] bitcoinassassin, but yeah, I usually want a clean install when I do mine, so I have a separate /home partition because of that. And if I backup, I just do a rsync on /home. [15:01] onla: what're you trying to do, first? [15:02] yea I am selling a pc and it currently is dual booting windows and ubuntu so I just want to wipe them all. it has 1tb hd in it wit multiple partitions [15:02] Amoz - I'm more interested in cron jobs and software installed and configuration of those. My data is somewhere else entirely so that's not an issue. [15:02] !find libre2-1-dbg [15:02] Found: libre2-1-dbg [15:02] the buyer is putting ssd disk in the pc and install OS to that ssd [15:03] I'm trying to install gradle, and the docs say "For running Gradle, add GRADLE_HOME/bin to your PATH environment variable. Usually, this is sufficient to run Gradle." [15:03] :\ this for ubuntu14? [15:03] So do I place the zip file somewhere in particular and then add a path variable? [15:03] !find libre2-1-dbg trusty [15:03] Package/file libre2-1-dbg does not exist in trusty [15:03] onla: then forget about dban. it doesn't work on ssds. [15:03] that dban looks good but they are hosting files on sourceforge and doesnt indicate ubuntu version there [15:03] onla, dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx bs=4M will wipe *everything* on the sdx drive. [15:04] mircx1, no, vivid. but we have been here before, haven't we? [15:04] not wiping ssd disk, just old hd [15:04] onla: yeah just run as Amoz says essentially [15:04] onla: you create a boot disk that will boot into dban's utilities - and wipe from there. Ubuntu version doesn't matter. [15:04] in any case I should wipe from live usb stick or dvd? [15:04] live USB for the easiest [15:05] onla, doesn't matter at all, whatever you have available works equally fine imo === dearn_ is now known as dearn [15:06] but if I run that cmd on ubuntu that is running on the hd that it will wipe [15:06] onla: they're saying you need to boot from a live ... whatever... usb, cd, dvd [15:07] I believe this is what they're saying, anyway [15:07] sounds kinda shady input some mysterious command, when I could just delet partitions from gparted on live usb stick though. Is this command method better against trying to retrieve data like dban? [15:07] onla, the partition deletion will not clear the actual data [15:07] it will just remove the partition layouts [15:07] and with this dd command I am not breaking the hd either I guess [15:08] no [15:08] and it will be detected and I can format it later, ok [15:08] detected? format? [15:08] onla: for the record, dban doesn't retrieve data; is free erasure software [15:08] onla: deleting partitions doesn't do a thing. [15:08] the dd command I wrote will clear the whole disk, write zeroes *everywhere* [15:09] Amoz: but from a live usb or dvd, right? [15:09] after 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] onla: yeah because it's a hard disk... [15:09] it doesn't stop being a hard disk [15:09] yea I dont want it to erase the data on that live usb, but the hard disk [15:10] onla, when you're in a live environment, /dev/sda is *probably* your USB drive [15:10] funny [15:10] Amoz: nope [15:10] okay, so I shouldnt run the command then with /dev/sda but replace that with the path to the 1tb disk [15:10] Hi guys I am returning my laptopt back to shop and I want to delete user from it. How can I do that without having to create different user and delete the main one from there? [15:11] OerHeks you can please explain to me how i can fix this in ubuntu14 -pipe -fPIC -DPIC -pedantic -Woverloaded-virtual -Wshadow -Wformat=2 -Wmissing-format-attribute -Wall -O2 -g1 -Iinclude -DMODNAME=m_antibotctcp.so -fPIC -shared -rdynamic [15:11] Trudko, go into your admin account and delete the other user [15:12] onla: yes, you need to run the command with the path to your 1tb disk or whatever else you want to erase [15:12] onla: just run "sudo parted -l" on live session boot to confirm which disk is which [15:13] cfhowlett: how do I go into admin account when I only have one account which I want to delete? [15:13] mircx1, nope. you might want to ask in #mircx on undernet for build support, their homepage does not give any clue either [15:13] Trudko, boot recovery mode, that way you get root [15:14] Trudko: because you have an admin account and a user account? [15:14] on the ubuntu itself there the 1tb is /dev/sda at least, I gonna backup some files before booting live cd [15:15] onla: backing up is always wise and should be mandatory [15:15] bitcoinassassin: actually I have only one now [15:16] Trudko: you have only one what? === shakamunyi is now known as barra204 [15:16] account [15:16] Trudko: One user account? [15:16] I guess I can just format whole drive anyway [15:16] yeah === quassel6 is now known as djsacrosanct [15:17] Trudko: which is what you want to delete, correct? [15:17] yes [15:17] Well what the others have told you is correct - about how to remove that. [15:17] an account won't stop your data being there [15:18] daftykins: yeah I realize that I should just format the whole drive [15:18] I mean the laptop is faulty I am getting my money back so they dont care if the original software is on it [15:19] Trudko: yep so same advice as above if it's a mechanical hard disk, boot a live session, run dd [15:19] what's up with it? [15:19] Trudo: what daftykins said. You want to erase / overwrite the drive - not just delete an account. [15:19] *facepalm* [15:19] ha [15:20] bitcoinassassin: having you in here confirming every statement is going to get very spammy. [15:20] :-) apologies [15:23] I would like to try kde on a ubuntu 14.04 install. How can I do so without installing native kde apps like open office, etc? [15:23] bitcoinassassin, yes as daftykins said, it's gonna get very spammy ;) (joke) [15:25] newMeta: #kubuntu might help === prefixed is now known as grill [15:26] no, I don't want to install a complete distro flavor for it, daftykins === wpkeg is now known as kegster [15:26] newMeta, sudo apt-get install kde-plasma [15:26] cfhowlett, that package includes kde native apps like konquerer, office, etc [15:27] newMeta, false. GUI only [15:27] newMeta, kubuntu-desktop is the metapackage you're thinkingof [15:28] oh ok, because I checked kubuntu desktop on synaptic, maybe thats why, cfhowlett [15:28] newMeta, don't feel bad. I was still wrong. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE [15:29] after update to Windows 10 on EFI computer, I can't boot into Ubuntu LiveUSB anymore...can someone help me? [15:29] newMeta, (iii) kde-plasma-desktop [15:29] newMeta, it is --without install recommends - http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/kde/kde-plasma-desktop [15:30] --without install recommends? Is it a parameter, OerHeks? [15:30] fix lunchingpad error 404 [15:30] vubuntor, that makes me think of one thing: disable FASTboot ( not secureboot) in windows, and try again [15:30] newMeta, no, that is what that package is. [15:30] already disable fastboot and even secureboot [15:30] vubuntor: i bet you just need to change the boot device from 'Windows Boot Manager' -> your hard disk/SSD inside your EFI. [15:31] what is the shortcut to create a new file? [15:31] ctrl + shift + n = new folder [15:31] touch /path/to/file [15:32] OerHeks: is there nothing with a keyboard in a GUI window? [15:32] @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] vubuntor: you're saying there's no other entry? [15:32] No other [15:32] kulelu88, mouse right click, new folder or new document [15:32] only that WBM [15:32] OerHeks: I know that. I'm looking for a keyboard option [15:32] vubuntor: are you sure that it's not under a hard disk priority section which supplies the Windows Boot Manager entry? sometimes that's the case [15:33] Amoz: why bs 4M? I saw google many uses smaller size there [15:33] kulelu88, nope, not available. [15:33] ( in nautilus, that is) [15:33] will dd 1tB /dev/sda take a long time? [15:33] I even move WBM entry to the bottom on the boot order [15:33] onla, you write it in 4MB chunks [15:34] what about XFCE? [15:34] onla, a HDD is very slow latency wise, so it's good to put big blocks of data to the write queue at the same time [15:34] onla: yes quite a while. [15:34] does it matter in what chunks I should write there? guess not [15:34] onla, if you put 4K it will be much slower afaik [15:34] 2M or 4M doesn't matter [15:34] quite a while with 4M = 1h or 5h? [15:34] kulelu88, if the panel menu gives no shortcut, then find out howto make that yourself [15:35] onla: more than tht [15:35] *that [15:35] Thanks OerHeks [15:36] daftykins: you knows what's wrong? [15:36] onla, 70MB/s ~ 4h or something [15:36] that is , if I calculated correctly [15:36] vubuntor: er as in you found it or you're still not sure? [15:37] Amoz: i hope you factored in the speed from start to end of disk :P [15:37] vubuntor: i'd boot a live session and chroot the install, then run update-grub perhaps [15:37] daftykins, if he uses dd of=dev then it will be very close to linear access I think. [15:37] daftykins: i didn't found anything, other entries in the bios/uefi settings are blank. [15:37] daftykins: the point is i can't even boot into any live sessions [15:38] vubuntor: why not? [15:38] UEFI blocks me because it sticks with the WBM, no other entry [15:38] is the usb first in the boot order? [15:38] vubuntor: shutdown from Windows properly first, "shutdown -s -t 1" [15:38] vubuntor, so you can't even get to a boot-menu by ESC of F2 or delete ? [15:39] Amoz: i did get boot menu,but the only entry on that menu is Windows Boot Manager, no entry for USB or DVD [15:39] maybe that shred is faster shred -n 5 -vz /dev/sda [15:40] daftykins: isn't that the same to disable fastboot? [15:40] doesn't hurt to try in case something is funky [15:40] i think you have bigger problems if your flash drive isn't showing up in a boot menu [15:40] onla, it will definitely not be faster. [15:40] I will try and come back later [15:41] vubuntor: there's also fastboot in the bios, if it's enabled disable it [15:41] onla: waste of time, 3 users gave you the same advice - you should take it. [15:41] daftykins: this is the biggest problem since my computer is EFI only,no legacy. [15:41] onla, 5 times rewriting and a zeroing out in the end. That will take about 24h at least. [15:41] EriC^^: my bios has no fastboot option [15:41] vubuntor: try a different usb port [15:42] lol [15:42] also, you're not selling it to the NSA, are you onla? [15:42] ^ valid point [15:42] 10¹²/(80·10⁶) = 12500 seconds = 3.47 hours: [15:43] vubuntor: my machine has the same issue sometimes, if I reboot and re-insert the USB stick it normally shows up. [15:43] but where is the chunk size taken into account [15:43] onla: why do you keep saying chunk? if you mean the bs= then that's blocksize, thus it has a name [15:44] oh ok [15:44] your write speed on a hard disk slows from start to end, so no point calculating it as a fixed figure [15:44] anyway all this time spent talking about it, you could be running it... [15:44] I am moving files atm :p [15:44] but very soon done [15:45] it doesnt matter how many files I have there I guess [15:45] writing 0 every place anyway [15:46] onla, correct [15:46] hi [15:46] this is independent of any data/filesystem/whatever [15:47] hope 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 sleep [15:47] installed ubuntu restricted extras vlc and ffmpeg on 15.04. when i insert video film cd nothing happends. its not appearing on file manager. help.

[15:51] even if wont play due to codecs, atleast it should appear in the file manager right? [15:51] OerHeks, my vcd is not detected at all. [15:51] oh, vcd , not dvd ? [15:52] one dvd and vcd. [15:52] nothing playes. [15:53] videolan says: Open your VLC Player Go to Media---> Open Disc---> Select SVCD/VCD option [15:53] let me try [15:54] OerHeks, it plays that way. [15:54] :-) [15:54] but ubuntu is not asking me when i insert cd and also its not appearing on my filemanager? [15:54] OerHeks +1 [15:54] thanks for that btw OerHeks :-) [15:54] does it really need to? [15:54] you know when you put a disc in, because... you put a disc in [15:54] does it appear in filemanager as removable? [15:54] daftykins, yes. how will i use cd drive in future? [15:55] OerHeks, no [15:55] Abhijit: depends on the task [15:56] what 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 menu [15:56] fail [15:56] still no USB on boot menu [15:56] Abhijit, I hope you didn't choose 'do nothing' and 'remember my choise´ once, so that menu never turns up again [15:56] vubuntor: was that to me? [15:56] onla: no [15:57] daftykins, yeah but how can I leave it like that? all the things need to be in working condition in new laptop no? [15:57] OerHeks, no. it never asked any prompt. [15:57] OerHeks, where do I do that setup? [15:57] daftykins: other usb ports,shutdown,nothing [15:58] shutdown, remove power + battery, discharge, then try again? [15:58] Abhijit, on unity, systemsettings - details - removable media [15:58] this is way beyond ubuntu relevance right now though [15:58] there is also an option 'other media' [15:59] my pc froze to the first picture when it does system tests when I press F11 to enter boot menu now [16:00] OerHeks, ok. will try. thanks. [16:00] onla: if you wouldn't mind reducing the running commentary... [16:02] I guess my ubuntu usb stick is not working. I tried 3 different ports, but it wont boot to the live cd. [16:03] sorry. so I add to this that if anyone have any ideas if something else is up :) [16:03] onla: so remake it [16:03] onla, checked everything from bios settings? enable usb booting thes set usb disk on first priority etc? [16:04] priority is a waste of time, there's no need to adjust boot order [16:04] hasn't been for years [16:05] just use one-time menus :> [16:06] ah 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 priority [16:07] ... [16:07] now for the scary dd command :) [16:07] why do you need dd after booting into live ubuntu usb? [16:08] I gonna wipe 1tb disk [16:08] ok. [16:08] I know the buyer and he said im being too nerd doing something like that instead of just formatting [16:08] but it practically IS formatting [16:08] so he's too newb :) [16:09] "sudo parted -l" then, pick the disk [16:09] "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=2M" [16:09] Hi, 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] ...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] then if can also get progress reports by "sudo killall dd -USR1" [16:09] What could the problem be!? [16:10] Hilton: nuke those accounts and start again. [16:10] hi 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? [16:11] daftykins: I will choose 4MB bs [16:11] if it would be a bit faster [16:11] daftykins: I did. Same problem. [16:11] if I kill the dd while it is in progress, I would need to start from begin, no? [16:11] onla, FYI, you can check the speed and/or written amount later by sending a signal to dd [16:11] so I need no sudo for dd command [16:12] Hilton: what about delete them, create one... log into one, set the password... then try? [16:12] onla: no kill with -USR1 prints progress [16:12] Does 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] that 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 completely [16:12] onla: i wouldn't have told you to do it if it stopped it, would i? :) [16:13] jwash, its in the brightness and lock settings in system setting [16:14] jwash yes, you can uncheck 'turn screen off' [16:14] Amoz: the signal -USR1 is what i'd already spoken of ;) [16:14] ight locker settings? [16:14] jwash, no. "Brightness and Lock" Setting. [16:14] hi [16:14] hi sanjay [16:14] daftykins, you're too quick, slow down ;) [16:14] hi [16:15] i am new to ubuntu [16:15] Abhijit: i don't have that in my settings [16:15] i can't log into my skype account on skype for linux for some reason (when i type in my microsoft account stuff it just sends me back to the login screen) [16:15] jwash, which ubuntu version you are using? [16:15] can someone help [16:15] Xubuntu [16:15] jwash, type cat /etc/*-release in terminal and paste output here [16:15] 14.04 lts [16:15] andrew_: test in the guest session [16:16] but i like centos more [16:16] jwash, wait. use pastebin. do not directly paste here.

[16:18] okhay!! :)) I got the dd running and already checked some reports too :) I looked at the system settings - power, and there was only suspend time setting and it is set to 'don't suspend' So I guess I can go out and expect that it will be running when I get back home [16:18] andrew_ it's possible that your ms account is blocked, due to spam or so, i had that too... had to create a new account [16:18] well i did try to change my microsoft security info [16:18] so it tells me to verify that someone isnt trying to hack me [16:19] everytime i log into my email [16:19] andrew_ see, that's what i had [16:20] welp i have to go ask my mom for help since her email is my alternate email for security [16:20] say hi to your mom [16:21] already 45GB. Oh well. I also toggeld of log out and turn screen off when inactive. Oke I go now afk thanks all!

[16:27] Matt_teni: nope [16:34] Trying to install ubuntu, but the partitioning stage can't see my hard drive, only the usb stick from which I'm booting. [16:34] hi [16:34] can u please tell me how to partition HD from terminal [16:35] i mean without using GPARTED [16:35] techkamar, use parted [16:35] !info parted [16:35] parted (source: parted): disk partition manipulator. In component main, is standard. Version 3.2-7ubuntu1 (vivid), package size 43 kB, installed size 183 kB [16:35] so itz not possible with "fdisk"? [16:36] I 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? [16:37] horatiohb: can you open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit" [16:37] followed by "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" [16:37] techkamar, sure, http://www.howtogeek.com/106873/how-to-use-fdisk-to-manage-partitions-on-linux/ [16:37] daftykins: I can't because I'm in the middle of an install. [16:37] hello [16:38] daftykins: do you want me to reboot into "Try Ubuntu" mode instead? [16:38] i want to study the code that recovers a documente on libreoffice startup. how should i download the associated source code packages? [16:38] horatiohb: well, if it's not installing i guess you're not going to get very far [16:38] horatiohb, in the middle of an install, little late to see partitions now. [16:38] hi [16:38] daftykins: the install hasn't even started yet. [16:39] horatiohb: unless you hit ctrl+alt+F1 maybe? [16:39] OerHeks: ^^ [16:39] do you know a program for Linux 14.04 for open .zip files? [16:40] It 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.

[16:42] thanks everyone [16:42] daftykins, yes, if you selected the "Try Ubuntu" option from the initial prompt [16:42] lukecarrier: wrong user. [16:43] sorry bud [16:43] keep your eyes peeled ;) [16:43] it's been a long day :( [16:43] horatiohb: yes... though you should've really selected try instead of install [16:44] daftykins: I'll reboot with 'try' instead of 'install' now, and then maybe you can tell me how to reproduce this partitioner window... [16:44] daftykins: Okay for some reason after sitting all night everything worked this morning. Didn't have to do anything. WTF. [16:44] But [16:44] Hilton: i have no idea what you're talking about (: [16:44] daftykins: what's the problem? [16:44] daftykins: My incorrect password problem.

[17:07] yep [17:07] Ubuntu 14.10 server message to upgrade to 15.04 because it was no longer supported. After upgrade and reboot file system in read only mode. Then all my local area network connections are being refused and my PLEX server cannot connect.

[17:09] upgrade already done. That's why it does not function properly anymore. I am not a linux programmer but I can follow directions and not afraid of terminal.

Didn't mess with keyboard shortcuts till recently, but it seems to be not working so well. [17:10] extlinux = syslinux [17:11] how can i check if i have syslinux or grub? [17:11] Please do not install grub, it is grub2 [17:11] Tried assigning CTRL+ALT+D and Super+D to "hide all normal windows" (AKA show the desktop) and it doesn't seem to work most of the time. [17:11] Daffykins. What is LTS? NO linux background....server set up by third party [17:11] !lts [17:11] LTS 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) [17:12] royer is this bootloader from an other linux version ? [17:12] syslinux has the file extlinux.conf in the root and grub the /boot/... with menu.lst and grub2 is different [17:12] Also tried installing gnome-settings-daemon and adding it to startup applications to fix it. Didn't work. [17:12] i have ubuntu gnome 14.10 installed and i try to upgrade to 15.04 [17:13] That can be done in a fly royer - it takes about 1.5 hours (by me) [17:13] Hi. 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] I 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. [17:15] In Windows, the notification area (typically at the bottom right for most people) is often called the System Tray. What does Ubuntu call it? [17:15] i download all files and when is ready to install that alert [17:15] show [17:15] keithmorg, yous issue is your disks read only, fix that by performing a fsck. filecheck [17:15] anyone here ever tried to send broadcasts with netcat? [17:16] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilesystemTroubleshooting [17:16] I wonder if Unity and the GNOME stuff is conflicting. [17:16] i get permission denied or protocol not available [17:17] Systemtray ==== By me it is called "Menubalk" [17:18] MikeRL, It is Gnome OR Unitiy - you can choose it at the place where you choose your user [17:18] Hmm. I have more ideas. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/texmaker/+bug/1386111 [17:18] Launchpad bug 1386111 in texmaker (Ubuntu) "Keyboard shortcuts not working on Ubuntu 14.10 and 15.04" [Medium,Confirmed] [17:18] Maybe try removingt appmenu-qt5 as a workaround. [17:20] hi all! im trying to install ubuntu to a machine which as one ssd and one mechanical hdd. somehow even though ubuntu can see ssd (from terminal, i can mount and check the files ssd has), during the installation it doesnt show ssd drive in the devices. any ideas? [17:21] Thank you OerHeks but the file system issue was solved. I can now get to my GUI and mount all my drives. [17:21] keithmorg, i think so, yes. have fun! [17:22] cihhan, I would try to disconnect the hdd before and during installation to make it easy [17:22] BUT nothing in my local area network can connect to the server with all connections refused. As a noob I think it has something to do with the definition of localhost being reset to defaults? [17:23] i've disabled a site by removing it from sites-enabled AND sites-available, restarted apache, restarted the machine, and it's still being served [17:23] I have a raid5 and a raid1 that can only be accessed locally. [17:23] keithmorg, i think you need to reinstall that plex you mentioned, it is not part of our repositories [17:24] here is apachectl -S [17:24] http://pastie.org/10327757 [17:24] Thanks OerHeks that is a minor issue and only mentioned because it gives the same error. [17:24] Hi. I want to dual boot Windows 10 and Ubuntu. Can someone help me out? [17:25] My other local area clients area all Windows machines. [17:25] nircUser, yeah that s what i will try to do now -- you are right, good idea :) [17:26] Anyone? [17:27] fsociety_: you need to say what you've done and where you got stuck, first. [17:28] fsociety_: step one: install both oses, done [17:28] Right now I'm running Windows 10 and I have a bootable Ubuntu USB created. [17:29] ok [17:29] fsociety_: you got free partition space for Ubuntu? [17:29] hello [17:29] I 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 frozen [17:29] akhbadhack: hi [17:30] any body? [17:30] onla: why zeroing? [17:30] I haven't created a partition yet. How do I do that? === bittin- is now known as bittin [17:30] onla: you using bs=? [17:30] fsociety_ do you have free space? [17:30] because it is faster than urandom and I wanted to wipe the disk. using bs=4M [17:30] fsociety_: does Windows 10 currently take up all of your only disk? [17:30] fsociety, I use a puppylinux CD and use gparted for partioning a disk [17:30] artois: No, I do have free space. I have a 500 GB hard drive... [17:31] onla: dunno, maybe it's just old hardware? [17:31] fsociety_: with free _partition space_? [17:31] fsociety_ boot from the live usb/dvd and run gparted [17:31] brothersome: why puppylinux, hate yourself? [17:31] artois: Yup. [17:31] fsociety_: okay, if you have enough free partition space for Ubuntu, then just install it to that space [17:31] Oh writing zeroes at a disk is easier with shred [17:31] ideally it will all 'just work' [17:32] brothersome: nope [17:32] artois: 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 yet [17:32] artois, just a choice [17:32] fsociety_ partitioning is the hardest part when you're new to linux, what follows is very easy and swift [17:32] onla: you can kill -USR1 the pid and get some output [17:32] 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] artois: yea I used that, but the screen is dark now and I cant get to the terminal [17:32] fsociety_: you don't have to create partitions manually [17:33] fsociety_: just point the installer at the empty space, not the already-used-by-windows space [17:33] onla: CTRL+ALT+F2? [17:33] artois: In the installation, I have to select "something else," correct? [17:33] onla: why'd you want to wipe the disk? [17:33] fsociety_: which version of Ubuntu? [17:34] artois: It's 14.04.02 [17:34] im selling the pc and I wanted to format it or such. ctrl alt f2 not giving me terminal window or anything either [17:34] onla, shred is much easier and faster [17:35] fsociety_: I imagine the first 'alongside' option will suffice [17:35] brothersome: shred is both slower, more pointless, and not applicable to his situation [17:35] I 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] artois: What does that option do? [17:35] onla: k === cam is now known as Guest80207 [17:35] onla: dunno, I usually use http://www.sysresccd.org/ with kms off for such things, much less overhead, much less to go wrong [17:35] fsociety_: it'll say something like 'install Ubuntu alongside Windows: be able to use either' === feneco_ is now known as lupado [17:36] artois: I've heard that option sometimes messes things up? === lupado is now known as vulpes [17:36] fsociety_: what've you heard never messes things up? [17:37] artois: If I were to install it using the "something else" option, what would I have to do? [17:37] fsociety_: more work [17:37] more opportunities to mess things up yourself [17:37] fsociety_ then you can create a seperate /home partition [17:37] you could if you wanted to, at that [17:37] a separate one, anyway [17:38] artois: If I do the correct things, I won't mess things up. I just have to know the correct steps.. [17:38] that's true, if you don't mess things up, things aren't messed up [17:38] there are plenty of guides how to set it up the way you need it to be [17:38] so, so true [17:39] fsociety_: is your win10 install legacy or EFI? [17:39] daftykins: EFI [17:39] fsociety_: make sure you boot the ubuntu flash drive as EFI then [17:39] After upgrade to 15.04 none of my local area network client computers can connect to the shares on the server. All disks are mounted and shared. All disks are accessible locally. Connection refused on all clients. [17:39] !efi | fsociety_ here for more info [17:39] fsociety_ here for more info: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [17:40] onla: just watch the disk activity LED. [17:40] I am having an issue. [17:41] keithmorg, verify that samba is running, try to connect locally with cifsclient? [17:41] I have a computer that will not install lubuntu if the drive is connected. [17:41] OneMatt: what kind of system? and define 'will not install' - what happens? [17:42] Back. I noticed I'm only having issues it seems with the show desktop shortcut. [17:42] Hodgepodge collections of parts, but an old AMD and some ddr1 sticks. [17:43] If 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] Amoz, is that the actual command line argument? === xangua_ is now known as xangua [17:43] OneMatt: 'desktop' would have sufficed :) so what happens? [17:43] I wonder if Unity's ALT+TAB is conflicting with it or something. Anyone have any ideas? [17:43] MikeRL try windows-key D to show the desktop [17:44] It 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] Is that the default? [17:44] MonkeyDust, what exactly does Win+D do? [17:45] MikeRL shows the desktop [17:45] keithmorg, I don't rememeber. But you can surely check the logs as well. [17:45] for the samba server, that is. [17:45] Maybe I've screwed up keyboard shortcuts by now. I could do a unity reset. [17:45] MikeRL instead of asking, try it yourself [17:45] If needed, I can give the specs of the hardware. [17:45] OneMatt: so rather than it won't install, really it's the live session that won't boot? [17:46] Seems to be hit and miss. [17:46] OneMatt: check the disk and run memtest before going any further [17:46] Install or live boot. [17:47] Um, what exactly is memtest? [17:48] MonkeyDust, Still doesn't seem to work. [17:48] what's the difference between fglrx-updates and fglrx? [17:48] OneMatt, checking memory, you can find it in the bootmenu for ubuntu [17:48] Because I am at 70k+ errors and counting... [17:48] Make that 100K. [17:48] molgrum, probably newer modules for the GPU [17:48] OneMatt, sounds like it's borked [17:48] OneMatt: what, on running memtest? so your RAM is bad. [17:49] Odd. [17:49] Is there a terminal command I could use to simulate showing the desktop? That may help. [17:49] Amoz. 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 terminal [17:49] not odd for some old DDR1 you cobbled together ;) [17:49] The supremely odd thing is that winXP was working on this thing just yesterday. [17:49] OneMatt, have you recently touched/reinserted the RAM? [17:49] Possibly in localhost....just a guess from a novice. [17:49] hi [17:49] Yes. [17:50] Ah [17:50] OneMatt, reinsert it then [17:50] Well, bother. [17:50] OneMatt: sounds like you fried it with static perhaps [17:50] it might be halfway connected as well [17:50] Amoz: nope [17:50] wouldn't have POST'd [17:50] daftykins, oh, really? [17:50] unless it's entirely out :) [17:51] daftykins, are you sure? [17:51] positive. [17:51] been dealing with hardware for 20 years now [17:51] Odd, thought that static at 60+ percent humidity would not be an issue. === user is now known as Guest24408 [17:52] daftykins, 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] THat's odd. If I add show desktop to the launcher, and use it once, the keyboard shortcut works more often. [17:52] Amoz: oh well :) [17:52] Looks like it is the 256MB sticks I got out of the dell at fault, oh well. [17:53] OneMatt: cleaning the connector pins with a pencil eraser before reinsertion is always good, as is taking a toothbrush to the slots [17:53] anyway, knew that wasn't ubuntu at fault ;) [17:53] Yeah, I kind of suspected it was a hardware issue. [17:54] Is it ok to turn off the power in the middle of memtest? [17:54] OneMatt, yes [17:54] if you did you wouldn't have come in here, an OS support channel [17:54] OneMatt, can you boot it now when the faulty sticks are removed? Did you try reinsert and memtest again? [17:54] It is still running the first memtest, but not for long. [17:54] it's always frustrating when someone claims they knew what was wrong all along. [17:54] Very 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] I don't [17:55] If you were here last night, you would have seen me blaming the HDD. [17:55] Which was still wrong, but not lubuntu's fault. [17:57] Guess I was too used to how Windows was by default. If I slowly press Win and then D a few seconds later, everything works. [17:58] Could somebody help me, Im stuck with this for a week without system. Please help. Thanks a lot any way [17:58] !elementary | pocheche [17:58] pocheche: Elementary OS is an Ubuntu derivative which is supported in their IRC channel #elementary on irc.freenode.net - http://elementaryos.org/ for more information on this distribution.

[18:00] pocheche: knows what? you appear to be typing from elementary OS, which isn't supported here [18:00] Hello, I am running Ubuntu Velvet and there are problems with the launch of some programs. For instance, Audacity does not launch properly. The interface is all greyed-out. This also happens to some other programs where some work and some do not. I did all my updates and cleaning too I might add. [18:00] so? [18:01] live cd [18:01] pocheche: yeah, so go ask in their channel thanks [18:01] Ah ha! [18:01] Looks like the old sticks were fried. [18:01] done [18:01] no body knows [18:01] pocheche, elementary has its own issues. sorry we cannot help. [18:01] ok [18:01] pocheche: yeah so you can't ask here... bye bye [18:02] thank you [18:02] you could also try in #linux [18:02] fathom: 'velvet' ? you mean vivid vervet - 15.04 ? [18:02] maybe someone might know [18:02] daftykins, yes [18:02] thanks [18:02] So here is a pastebin of when I run audacity http://pastebin.com/cBtnNJQn [18:04] do we have a good solution for google drive yet? [18:05] When programs will not launch, normally I switch distros but figure I would ask around to see if a fix exists. Otherwise it may mean that the OS is unstable. [18:05] RustySha1kleford define "good solution" http://askubuntu.com/questions/544646/how-to-install-google-drive-on-ubuntu-14-04#544650 [18:06] an excellent solution would be an official app [18:06] fathom: got any user configs that could be conflicting? i don't do any audio stuff so can't comment on that [18:06] I guess good means one that works without hickups [18:06] RustySha1kleford: right, for a proprietary product from Google - for a free OS [18:06] hiccups, even [18:06] meh, I'd rather get the official tool. Free as in beer is good enough for me [18:07] daftykins, I do not know. [18:07] fathom, really looks like you have errors related to PA/ALSA etc. [18:07] fathom: well either look or try running it in a guest session / different user [18:07] RustySha1kleford dirty workaround: I installed Chromixium, a Chrome OS clone, in VMware... it has google drive [18:07] Amoz, How would I fix? [18:07] Amoz, Or work around? [18:07] MonkeyDust: how do you live with that lol [18:07] fathom, no idea. Best advice is to join PA/ALSA channels and confirm the error, and if so let them guide you [18:08] RustySha1kleford i don't use google drive [18:08] Is Verveta dev version? [18:08] fathom: no [18:08] I'm pretty invested in the Google platform. Android works best if you embrace it all [18:08] fathom: 15.04 = year.month, that's when they come out [18:09] I got a new desktop so maybe the kernel and such has yet to catch up with the hardware... [18:10] But my soundcard is ancient [18:10] I haven't run linux in a while. So many choices... [18:10] fathom: was it an upgrade install? [18:10] daftykins, No, it was fresh [18:10] ok [18:11] I have the same issue with vuze [18:12] http://pastebin.com/iJNKsyfq [18:13] Vuze? Isn't that proprietary? [18:13] fathom: I use deluged with deluge-web [18:13] works great on my local network [18:13] yeah, try deluge [18:14] I wouldn't touch Vuze with a ten foot pole [18:14] proprietary torrent clients will get you into trouble [18:14] and java ones will just make you sad [18:14] vuze is both of those [18:14] i use a central server on my network, then use http access [18:14] and a magnet loading app from firefox [18:14] its tits [18:14] vuze is not free as in freedom? [18:16] fathom, vuze is a piracy tool, you know that. and offtopic AFAIK, as it has a search engine for illegal stuff. [18:16] ^ [18:16] not allowed here indeed [18:17] OerHeks, daftykins Linux distros are illegal? [18:17] Will blow me down! [18:17] don't be silly, we didn't say that at all [18:17] fathom, no, that is why standard transmission is enough [18:18] Golly, torrents sharing knowledge and distros is like being a Somalian in Captain Philips [18:18] transmission works well for me [18:18] hi, i've got a problem with installing 15.04 on my 12 year-old pc. there were a lot of artifacts and weird graphics issues during installation, and now it simply will not boot at all. It just boots into a black screen with green artifacts, ctrl-alt-f1 and related key combos have no effect. any ideas? [18:18] You may want to inform archive.org to stop torrenting [18:18] And Ubuntu [18:18] fathom, please stop your rant, thanks. [18:18] They torrent too [18:19] OerHeks, You were t he one who asserted torrenting is piracy [18:19] wowee [18:19] no [18:19] he asserted that vuze [18:19] was a pirate too [18:19] tool [18:19] So is a computer [18:19] because it had a pirate search [18:19] and a hard drive [18:19] different [18:19] and the internet [18:20] fathom, the difference is the search-tool build in, but you know that. you are ignored now. [18:20] fathom = troll [18:20] fathom: no we said don't speak about that specific client thanks :) now drop it. [18:20] Indeed, I was asking for assistance with crashing programs, not judgement [18:20] I think you guys are the trolls [18:20] vuze = not supported in #ubuntu [18:20] Refrain from judgement [18:20] silva, what specs does that machine has? maybe a lighter ubuntu desktop works better [18:20] another child confused over the definition of words, oh dear me. [18:21] fathom try #vuze [18:21] hi [18:21] Perhaps "we do not know" is a more apt answer [18:21] oerheks: 512 mb ram, amd athlon dual core ~2ghz, and 100gb hard disk. [18:22] !nomodeset | silva [18:22] silva: 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. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [18:22] silva: that RAM is pretty borderline for even functioning [18:22] 512 is very low, just enough for Lubuntu [18:22] Tell Ubuntu to remove Vuze from their repositories [18:22] silva you downloaded the 64 bit iso ? or 32 ? [18:22] 32 bit. [18:23] I was planning on using it as a basic server. [18:23] I guess audacity is a piracy tool too, not supported [18:23] and ALSA...I get the picture now [18:24] silva use the server iso ( without gui) and have fun with it [18:24] silva try nomodeset... if fails try to download the server iso [18:25] saves a lot of resources too [18:25] mini.iso might be better than server [18:25] Alright, I'll try that. Thanks for the help :-) [18:25] nomodeset sounds like a plan [18:25] bye [18:25] silva: might be something as simple as the screen resolution being detected incorrectly [18:26] silva if you are uncomfortable with cli env , then Lubuntu is a good choice [18:26] silva better at all, add some ram :þ [18:27] Herro :) [18:28] This channel is a lot quieter than I expected. [18:28] hi all [18:28] * frostyfrog waves. [18:28] Whilst lack of RAM is a problem, it is unlikely to cause graphical corruption... [18:29] mcphail: that wasn't the sole connection [18:29] frostyfrog, all the channels are quiet. [18:29] frostyfrog, I remember when the internet used to be bursting with chat. Now it's all dead. All giving way to the cancer that is facebook. [18:29] some friend give me a booteable usb with expecific characteristics; and i was thinking; how does he did it? [18:29] CosmicNoises: no chat please, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic . [18:29] CosmicNoises: xP #archlinux is very noisy. [18:30] frostyfrog: same with you [18:31] im 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] !uck [18:31] uck 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] I 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) [18:32] xochilpili, it is not easy to do [18:32] frostyfrog, #Xubuntu [18:32] xochilpili, both types of install are noticeably different [18:32] Comstock: people don't need to be sent to the specific DE channels necessarily :) [18:33] sorry :P [18:33] how to know if this is preinstalled or is a live version of ubuntu? [18:33] xochilpili, Context? [18:33] live versions run off of media usb/cd/dvd [18:33] i have mounted the usb in my fedora workstation; and i can see all the files; /boot/ and all tree [18:34] xochilpili, How was this put on the usb? [18:34] wileee, what do you mean with context? [18:34] !details | xochilpili context= [18:34] xochilpili context=: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [18:34] did you install it to the usb or was it a live cd converted to usb [18:34] xochilpili, just boot it, if the installer starts, it is a live iso. [18:34] isn't there a user named "live" or "livecd" when it's not a complete install? [18:34] the os is the user [18:35] good point [18:35] This boot, but doesnt start because is looking for some hardware; in a loop... [18:37] there's no installer, just a splash plymouth in back i see how it's looking for a specific card reader hardware [18:40] he's back! Still no joy. The server is not seen by anything else on the local network. It connect to the internet only. [18:41] Alright, its toast. refuses to boot even with nomodeset. [18:41] if i have mounted the usb in my workstation is there a way to know if this is a livecd? [18:41] xochilpili: the usb? [18:41] check the contents, type ls /mountpoint [18:42] silva do you remember the graphic card model ? [18:42] I'm thinking about giving lubuntu a try, but are there any lighter dists? [18:42] No graphics card. Its integrated. [18:42] silva puppy, based on ubuntu [18:44] EriC^^, 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] which is the simplest-to-configure FTP server we have in the archives? [18:44] TJ: VSFTPD [18:44] I 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] or PureFTP [18:45] I prefer ProFTPD via Tasksel [18:45] alright, thanks. puppy looks nice. I'll see if I can get that working, probably off to the dumpster if not. Cheers. :-) === corey_ is now known as Guest82629 [18:45] jwash: thanks, I'll check it out. I have an emergency firmware update to apply to a CDU that has failed, and it requires firmware upload over FTP [18:45] silva give lubuntu a chance .... [18:45] silva: i just installed it on a p4 2.8 with 1gb ram [18:46] it runs youtube and 720p videos with vlc just fine [18:46] xochilpili: ask your friend about it [18:46] fine... lubuntu it is...

[18:55] TJ- in any case : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/vsftpd [18:55] ioria: Yes, I've done that. But there's no indication as to which directory will be the root for anonymous users, grrr. [18:55] i had lpi books and training in edx platform, but everything will be welcome. [18:55] under Ubuntu 15.04 im running the AMD drivers fglrx-updates and my screen turns black [18:56] any tips how i should proceed? doing dd command on ubuntu live cd, but having been idle too long, the screen went blank for power saving or something and it is not coming back. should I just power off the machine after some 4h as that would be the time it would take to complete that dd? [18:57] TJ- anon_root=/var/ftp [18:57] ioria: Hmmm, couldn't see that in the man page. Thanks [18:58] TJ- http://askubuntu.com/questions/555660/create-a-vsftpd-server-with-anonymous-access [18:59] you can install tasksel via sudo apt-get install tasksel then bring it up via sudo tasksel and install proftpd and you can edit it as you wish [19:01] under Ubuntu 15.04 im running the AMD drivers fglrx-updates and my screen turns black [19:02] I 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 packa [19:02] goddard: turns black when? [19:03] goddard: are there any other drivers you may be able to try? [19:04] daftykins randomly [19:04] silva yeah i could install the non-updated version i suppose [19:06] goddard: which hardware is this too? [19:06] ioria: not having a lot of success. The system already had a /home/ftp/ and an ftp user from a previous OS release, but vsftp doesn't seem to want to play so far [19:07] TJ-: what ftpd was installed prior? [19:08] well no joy here. have a good day. [19:08] daftykins r9 290 [19:08] Hi, I have a version of libglapi-mesa that seems to conflict with vlc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11995154/ [19:09] I think it got in there from a ppa which I did not properly run ppa-purge on, but I don't know it was a while ago [19:09] apt-get install libglapi-mesa=10.5.9-2ubuntu1~vivid1 wants to reinstall half my system [19:09] and remove the other half [19:10] ioria: OK, solved! somehow there were 3 instances of vsftpd running! [19:10] cryptodan_laptop: Looks like it was vsftpd before, too :) [19:10] TJ- gooooood [19:10] goddard: you probably won't be catered for well by either of those repo drivers. [19:11] nothingmuch, add that ppa again, update, and remove it with ppa-purge. [19:11] ioria lol, just noticed your last comment. Can't really install any more ram because it isn't manufactured for my particular mobo anymore... the few people still selling it charge too much money for a tiny amount of ram per stick. [19:11] TJ- i was suggesting you to check /etc/group [19:11] OerHeks: how can I find out which ppa it was? it could have been xorg-edgers but I'm not sure [19:11] daftykins oh? what is recommended? [19:12] goddard: probably latest from AMD if you game [19:12] silva i see.... maybe a good swap file [19:12] nothingmuch, maybe apt history, or softwarecenter history [19:12] daftykins 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 fast [19:13] yeah, up to date from AMD then [19:13] 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 hoping [19:14] TJ- good luck [19:15] 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] nice, vsftpd working? [19:16] jwash: thanks... yes, eventually. [19:16] OerHeks: looks like your suggestion to add (just guessed xorg-edgers) and purge worked, thanks! [19:16] TJ- yep [19:16] nothingmuch, have fun [19:18] i'm having some trouble with my Sky2 driver for my ethernet adapter [19:18] when i have a lot of network traffic, it drops packets [19:19] DNS requests are failing from time to time too [19:19] ioria: I've got the CDU in bits on the workbench right now, hooked up to a logic analyser, been trying to figure out why the main power-supply control MCU isn't talking on the SMBus.

[19:46] any tips how i should proceed. did dd command on ubuntu live cd, but having been idle too long, the screen went blank for power saving or something and it is not coming back. should I just power off the machine after some 4h as that would be the time it would take to complete that dd? [19:47] silva for now you have to make stable nomoset, otherwise every time you boot, you'll have the same problem === zz_denbeiren is now known as denbeiren [19:48] Sorry Wileee I have no idea what is a pastebin , this is first time in IRC.. [19:48] filipe_Vieira, I sent you a bot message look up. ;) [19:49] I need to setup a tunnel interface at boot. Can someone help me? [19:49] thanks [19:49] filipe_Vieira, all this would be to the channel, not me is all. [19:49] mkultra, a ssh? [19:50] no [19:50] unencrypted [19:51] mkultra, Cool, note this is free volunteer help, the channel ask you to have patience. ;) [19:51] yup. I understand [19:51] ;) [19:52] I wondering If I'm doing something wrong, or if things have substantially change between distro versions [19:52] that it doesn't work like I used ot set it up [19:54] filipe_Vieira, pastebin is you put your info on a webpage (paste it, or type it) save and post the url here, the bot gives you one address, there are lots of web pages that are designed just for this. [19:54] yeah you don't want ot paste your entire conf files on here [19:55] that's where pastebin comes handy [19:56] http://a.uguu.se/rzdrhe.png cool found an ssh client for firefox :) [19:56] mkultra, I had to put you in ignore, for the record, way to much posting, very little details. Over empty posting does not attract help. [19:56] Thanks wileee , I am really struggling with internet connection, funny enough in IRC I do not have a problem but as soon as I go online after a while I loose connection. I`ve installed firmware-b43 but no luck [19:57] anyway , the kids are destroying the house , I will pop in another day , thanks guys and specially wileee !:) [19:57] filipe_Vieira, Sounds like you have seen the broadcom wiki, not an area I really know anything beyond the wiki. [19:58] best of luck filipe_Vieira [20:04] bittin, that domain has malware and virus reported, don't post here no support links.

Have you tried with an older kernel? [20:10] why is switching irssi windows not working? I could use ALT+number in Lubuntu! [20:11] hi all === NotANick_ is now known as NotANick [20:11] why is switching irssi windows in Ubuntu not working? I could use ALT+number in Lubuntu! [20:11] how can i create an booteable iso from a folder? i google it and found mkisofs but it requires a isolinux folder which i havent [20:12] impalle: seems like gnome-terminal is catching the alt+number [20:12] Hi! why is switching irssi windows in Ubuntu not working? I could use ALT+digit in Lubuntu! [20:12] xochilpili: a bootable iso from a folder... please elaborate [20:12] impalle: and now you are getting annoying with that repeating :/ [20:12] impalle: check the terminal settings to disable some certain key combos, most of the terminals have a setting for it [20:13] @k1L sorry I am just to slow :) did not se your response [20:13] @k1L_ sorry I am just to slow :) did not se your response [20:13] @onla thx - I was just thinking about this ! === denbeiren is now known as zz_denbeiren [20:14] !away > zz_denbeiren [20:14] zz_denbeiren, please see my private message [20:14] xangua, a friend of mine (which i haven see) gave me long time a ago, a usb with some kind of ubuntu version, im trying to edit some customizations, so i cp all tree of a usb in a folder on my computer, then edit what i need, but now i cant make an booteable iso from that folder [20:14] xangua, (which i havent seen) [20:15] xochilpili: long time ago....you can download a recent iso from ubuntu.com along with instructions on how to make a bootable usb stick [20:15] !usb [20:15] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [20:16] xangua, it is not a regular ubuntu ; he made some modifications === Lee` is now known as Lee1` [20:16] xochilpili, If it is a supported release you are wasting your time, custom or not. [20:16] not* [20:21] hey. I erased data from disk with dd. now when I open gparted, it says I don't have a partition table. I need to create one before I could create partitions. There is 9 different partition table types to choose from: aix, amiga, bsd, dvh, gpt, mac, msdos, pc98, sun and loop. Now I am not going to install ubuntu here, but if I would boot with win7 installation media, can its OS installer install the partition table, or can I do that from this gparted? [20:22] onla: If you are going to install windows, install windows. No need for gparted. [20:22] @onla msdos and fat32 [20:22] onla: i thought you were selling it wiped. [20:23] I am selling, but I was wondering whether a hd bought from a store is equipped with some partition table already, and the windows installation media wouldn't have skills to install partition table but I guess it can :s [20:23] no it is not [20:23] they are totally blank [20:23] yes, any OS can :) [20:24] time to power it off and ship it ;) [20:24] alright. So msdos is probably the partition table type that win7would install to it [20:24] onla, If you're selling it with W7 on there anyone would wipe it if smart. [20:24] onla: there's no point touching it now it's been dd'd, just leave it alone... [20:24] okay [20:24] wileee: no childish comments about Windows please [20:25] daftykins, I use windows and grow up. [20:25] Hi, How do i Install ubuntu 15.04 with Wubi.exe on my flash drive? [20:25] !wubi | Shed-34046 [20:25] Shed-34046: Wubi was a way to install Ubuntu from within Windows, but it is no longer supported in recent versions of Ubuntu and was never well maintained even for Ubuntu 12.04. Do not use Wubi. See !install for other options for installing Ubuntu. [20:25] WUBI is dead. [20:25] i see the exe on the flash drive and i am wondering would i be able to run it on this windows 8 laptop [20:25] daftykins, Unneeded garbage my friend. [20:25] Shed-34046: Dont use Wubi. [20:26] wileee: i don't care for your opinions, this is support [20:26] daftykins, That is a two way street, I only stated what is a standard procedure, you don;t run others install, and you had to harass me. [20:27] bekks and ubottu if i install ubuntu alongside windows will i have to manually partition the drive for it, I know about GRUb but if say 8 months later i don't want ubuntu anymore would windows bootloader restore itself? My laptop don't have legacy bios it has UEFI and a legacy BIOS mode but its UEFI and i think windows is installed in uefi mode [20:27] and back to topic === BE_0300912 is now known as ^0300912^ [20:28] * wileee remembers why daftykins was pretty much in ignore anyway. [20:28] highlight me if you answer my question please :3 [20:28] wileee, his abusive junvinile behaviour is why I put him on permanent "ignore" ages ago. the guy never seems to mature up [20:29] i don't really understand the confusion here wileee - you make some silly comment about removing windows being better, which is juvenile, deal with it [20:29] yep [20:29] anybody? [20:29] Can we just get an op to boot this guy? [20:29] Shed-34046, you'll have to resize the NTFS partition and reinstall the bootloader for windows [20:30] Shed-34046: resize Windows' drive from inside Windows leaving space for it... you can easily remove ubuntu afterwards [20:30] This channel can loose any helper and survive, none of us are any more important than the other, in the big picture [20:30] wileee, the truth is that as much as I don't like window, sometimes you need it: like to update an android phone [20:30] Amoz what is the difficulty of restoring it? [20:30] cyberalex4life, Same here, I started on opensource anyway. [20:30] Shed-34046, if you do the normal ubuntu install, GRUB will overwrite the Windows bootloader in MBR [20:31] Shed-34046: For restoring the Windows boot sector, please refer to the Windows support in ##windows [20:31] wileee, I actually did it from o virtual machine in ubuntu and it worked (shortest way I guess) [20:31] bye [20:31] I'm on 14.04; is there a utility (commandline?) preinstalled to convert WAV to Vorbis? [20:31] Shed-34046, usually, you can just use the windows DVD and try a "boot recovery/repair" or whatever the name is. [20:31] You should change the topic of this channel to: "We dont help anyone, no matter what, we will change topic and give you our opinions about your question" [20:32] Amoz and bekks would i have to change the UEFI boot order? The first thing on the list is windows boot manger, would i have to switch that to URB [20:32] *GRUB [20:32] Amoz i got a factory default drive i made for this gateway/acer machine [20:32] xochilpili: is that because you're upset you didn't get an answer? [20:32] ornj, ffmpeg -i audio.wav -acodec libvorbis audio.ogg [20:32] daftykins, you need to read history... not about me [20:33] shamurai>> pretty sure this has libav installed not ffmpeg, but thank you :) [20:33] should be similar I just prefer ffmpeg [20:33] xochilpili: anything specific? the world wars, a specific country maybe? [20:33] Yes but I'm too lazy to instal it when it's already got the other. ;) [20:34] Shed-34046, sorry, I'm not very familiar with UEFI, but I'm pretty sure the principle would be similar. === zz_denbeiren is now known as denbeiren [20:35] ornj, try this avconv -i inputFileName -c:a libvorbis -qscale [0-255] targetFileName.ogg [20:35] daftykins, are you high? am i talking about the world wars or a country or this channel? [20:36] shamurai: <3 [20:36] xochilpili: well i figured 'history' had about as much relevance. [20:36] Oh [20:36] Vorbis scale is 0-255? [20:36] xochilpili: anyway, i and many others help tonnes of people in here. so keep your comments to yourself in future please :) [20:36] And, thank you, I'd forgotten the command `avconv' [20:36] Been a while [20:37] guys, takes the fight to #ubuntu-offtopc [20:37] o being worst 255 being best [20:37] quality [20:38] Bossome, thank you [20:40] I am having a bit of an issue with lubuntu and GNOME MPlayer. For some reason, it will not play DVDs. [20:41] OneMatt try xine [20:41] avconv -i /run/user/1000/gvfs/cdda\:host\=sr0/Track\ 1.wav -acodec libvorbis -qscale 255 Music/01.ogg [20:41] OneMatt, you probably also need to install libdvdcss [20:41] * ornj tips his hat to shamurai [20:41] Thank you, sir [20:41] OneMatt, have you got restricted extras and libcssread4 installed? [20:42] No, I do not have those.Installing now. [20:43] I'm having an issue with my touchscreen and stylus, they don't work at all === eraggo_ is now known as eraggo [20:44] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touchscreen [20:44] OneMatt, not sure if this is still valid but after install restricted extras you may need to run this also. [20:44] sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh [20:45] shamurai, as i wrote this is libdvdread4 ^^ [20:45] Odd, libcssread4 does not exist. [20:45] *dvd ;) [20:45] Ah. [20:45] shamurai wrote the right command [20:46] Derich, sorry thought script also pulled some other packages as well. [20:46] What I love about this system is that this piddly little CPU is trying so hard. === denbeiren is now known as zz_denbeiren [20:47] OneMatt, whatever you have has got to be better than the P2 333mhz I started on lol. [20:48] Still a no go. [20:49] It says loading, then playing, then flashes to stopped. [20:49] OneMatt, have you rebootet yet? #windowsstyle [20:49] Lol was just typing that. [20:50] Hold on, one core at a blazingly fast 1.0GHz takes a while. ;) [20:51] Still not playing. [20:51] maybe try vlc? :( [20:53] hello all [20:54] Might just have too, but I am worried that this machine might not be able to handle VLC. [20:54] VLC isn't to heavy you should be fine. [20:54] I got to serial connection on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touchscreen I typed screen /dev/ttyS0 and it said it wasn't installed. I installed screen and tried again this time I just got a message saying screen is terminating. [20:55] Just don't try any Bluerays lol. [20:55] if it doesnt work you can just remove vlc :) [20:56] i just put crouton /w 12.04 on a chromebox but unity fails to launch after I try to use the update manager to upgrade to 14.04. any tips? [20:57] Why no blurays? === proq`` is now known as proq [20:57] BottomNotch, is there anything running on that tty? Sounds like there isn't. === proq is now known as Guest30289 === Guest30289 is now known as proq` [20:58] OneMatt, because his computer might die... [20:58] Ah. [20:58] @ shamurai idk, how can I check that? please bearf with me I'm kinda a newbie :P [20:58] Poor attempt at humor possibly. [20:59] Considering this machine is struggling with firefox, it might just die. [21:00] Also considering it is from early 2002.... [21:00] oh nevermind I figured it out [21:00] BottomNotch, Did you check your lsusb output for the touchscreen? [21:00] Haha! VLC works! [21:00] Thank you! [21:01] OneMatt, anytime hope its a good movie [21:02] shamurai, no but I figured it out, I got to TTYS4 and I get a response [21:03] BottomNotch, good deal. === zz_denbeiren is now known as denbeiren [21:11] ok I tried to enter the command sudo inputattach --touchit213 /dev/ttyS4 [21:11] but I got the error inputattach: device initialization failed [21:12] I need to define a new variable in ubuntu, ORACLE_HOME. do I put it in -bash_profile of my user or somewhere else?

I have one ssd that i want to install ubuntu on. However, somehow during the installation harddrive page, it does not show it. however, when i try to open terminal and mount it, I can successfully mount it and check the existing partitions without any issues. Any suggestions? [21:37] What type of ssd is it? Sata, Msata, m2? [21:37] cihhan, Can you post sudo fdisk -l in a pastebin === zz_denbeiren is now known as denbeiren [21:38] wileee, i just rebooted it. let me do the installation again [21:38] cihhan, no install started needed, just some commands run in the terminal [21:39] wileee, the system is off now :) [21:39] cihhan, This a live iso boot, or a server or net install? [21:40] im using live iso boot on a usb [21:40] cihhan, Cool, we want to be sure you have a partition table and what it is, and if any partitions exist. [21:41] wileee, in fdisk -l it shows the sda and sda1 [21:42] let me try to put to pastebin [21:43] are any of you guys aware of a way to make gnome 3 spawn new terminals in tabs of an existing window? I tried changing the dropdown, but it rarely does spawn a new tab. usually it elects to spawn a new terminal window. also, is there a way to move tabs from one terminal window to a different terminal window? [21:44] wileee, pastebin.com/qCY6XTcm [21:45] cihhan, Now run sudo parted -l you have a gpt table [21:46] cihhan, Apple involved anywhere here? [21:46] or windows 8 [21:47] wileee, nope. in fact i already installed ubuntu on this sdd on another computer.. but i need to move it to this computer with a fresh installation [21:47] cihhan, you have a gpt table so, might you know why or what it is? [21:48] wileee: actually i dont know why (and even what it is) [21:48] I'm trying to upgrade my v12.04 server... but, apt-get update throws 404 errors [21:48] wileee, http://pastebin.com/J0pZeGjA === denbeiren is now known as zz_denbeiren [21:50] darrenlooby: which mirror is it trying to hit? [21:50] cihhan, 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. [21:51] Here's an example message: Err http://security.ubuntu.com quantal-security/restricted i386 Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.200 80] daftykins [21:52] darrenlooby: well, quantal was 12.10 so that's a bad repo right there - if you're trying to upgrade, i reckon you've got it trying to go to 12.10 instead of 14.04 [21:52] wileee, i see. i would say that it should have at least show the drives in the installation page [21:53] wileee, let me try to hard format it [21:53] darrenlooby: i think you'll need to specify LTS only [21:53] cihhan, I don't think a full HD, with max partitions will show. [21:53] daftykins: Well, currently, I'm just trying to do sudo apt-get update. No release upgrade just yet. So, I can't even go that far. Do I need to redirect my repo? [21:54] !oldreleases | darrenlooby [21:54] wileee, btw, i just bought another ssd with nothing on it. and it didnt show it either :( [21:54] cihhan, You need a new table to hopefully remove the gpt, if that's the goal. [21:54] cihhan, no table on second will be a no show [21:55] TJ-: I'm not IRC savvy, does that mean I'm in an incorrect room for old releases? [21:55] anyone know the factoid for the old-releases archives? ubottu really doesn't like to tell me what all the supported factoids commands are [21:55] wileee, i didnt get your point [21:56] darrenlooby: sorry, the 'bot was supposed to give you some useful info... but it ignored me :) [21:56] !eolupgrade [21:56] 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.

[22:10] There are a couple of ways of doing it - personally I kind of like the chroot into the installed system option. [22:11] I have a question. Are y'all familiar with Ubuntu Server? (I'm assuming so) [22:11] Craytor: Was that your question, or just a poll? [22:11] TJ-: What am I looking for in the output? [22:12] hello [22:12] I do have a question. I'm currently working on a project, and I'm wondering if I could set up a VPS and use FFMPEG to stream the display. [22:13] Ah ha, found the partition. [22:13] I have FFMPEG all set up, but when I do this, all the stream gets is a black screen. I think it has to do with it not having an actual monitor. I'm wondering if there would be a way to get this to work. [22:14] Mount does not want to mount a LVM2_member filesystem type though. [22:14] OneMatt: Because that not a mountable filesystem, but a container. [22:14] Ah. [22:14] So, how do I access it? [22:15] Mount the LVM volume. [22:15] I tried. [22:15] sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /media/william/HDDPART2 [22:16] ^ that was my question bekks :P [22:17] OneMatt: You cannot mount a LVM physical volume. You need to activate the LVM volume group and mount the LVM volume. [22:17] Um. [22:17] So, how do I do that? [22:19] hi [22:19] OneMatt: Replace /dev/sdb2 with your desired volume shown by lvdisplay -C [22:19] hi evil__ [22:20] OneMatt: "sudo vgchange -ay" then "sudo lvdisplay" then "sudo mount /dev/mapper/$VGNAME-$LVNAME /mount/point" [22:20] hi ubuntu_irc_guy_ === denbeiren is now known as zz_denbeiren [22:21] Ah ha! === jasoniumh_ is now known as jasoniumh [22:21] I'm currently working on a project, and I'm wondering if I could set up a VPS and use FFMPEG to stream the display.

[22:24] I am being asked for the password to access my key when connecting through ssh with a public key? [22:26] Anthaas: That's normal behaviour [22:26] Really? [22:27] Being asked for the password to the public key rather than just the password to connect seems a bit....redundant? [22:27] Why bother with the public key if I wanted to enter the password? [22:27] Anthaas: yes, ssh is asking for your key password, not the server you are connected to. [22:28] Yes - is there a way I can prevent the need? [22:28] Surely if there is a key on this computer, and a matching key on that computer, the need for a password is gone? [22:28] Anthaas: No. Since you can protect your key with a password. [22:28] Ok, not gone, but knowing I am the only person on the 3 machines involved, and that the passwords and other access to them is secure, I can reduce the need. === zipp0man is now known as zippoman [22:29] Anthaas: Just generate keys without password protecting them, then. [22:29] I have another ssh connection with a password protected key, and I can still do it [22:29] I am wondering why not on this instance. [22:30] i.e. on one connection I can do ssh 'user@host' and it connects, but on the second connection, it asks for a password [22:30] I am on computer A connecting to B, to connect to C. A -> B -> C [22:31] A -> B is fine, but B -> C is asking for a password [22:35] Already reinstalled firefox, but lightspark lib (yet removed) crashes YT-player and only by viewtube VLC is possible to watch videos. Is there any easy fix or should I use another browser? [22:36] Any tips for constantly crashing Flash plugin in Firefox? I know. I know. Flash sucks. But I still need it, and I'd rather run Firefox than Chrome. [22:36] Anthaas, as already described the password is for the private key, if you don't use a password when making the private/public key pair then you won't be prompted for one when using that private key [22:37] Anthaas, the disadvantage here being if someone manages to get your private key they don't need a password to have access to your server [22:37] ad [22:37] ad [22:37] ad [22:37] There are numerous other things in place to prevent any unauthorised connection with my key [22:37] Anthaas: Name three :) [22:38] mancomunado, there is an on board minitube, just info. Is YT-player this app? [22:38] Anthaas: Maybe A -> B key is not password protected [22:38] Hmm, I am certain it is, there was an option to enter the password just once that didnt come up the second time. [22:39] wilee, is just what I refer to the embed common player [22:39] https://tinyurl.com/qee3ooo [22:39] https://i.4cdn.org/g/1438641288802.jpg [22:40] mancomunado, Hmm, not sure what you mean, looks vimeo. [22:41] mancomunado, Is this using an open source flash? === zz_denbeiren is now known as denbeiren [22:41] anyone have experience installing ubuntu on a chromebox? [22:43] you dont really install ubuntu on chromebook [22:43] wileee, nope clearing it didnt work out too. thanks a lot though :) [22:43] you still using chyromeOS [22:43] i used the instrustions for crouton install [22:43] cihhan, I have no idea what you've done like make a new table.....etc [22:44] instructions* [22:44] Anthaas: I doubt it is, because (unless you are using an ssh-agent) it should ask for your key password then. [22:44] cihhan, We never really got to crucial info, you decided to wipe the table. [22:45] Does anyone know how to make a Fuji Xerox ApeosPort-III C5500 work with Ubuntu? [22:45] Hmm, need to look into removing the key and starting again [22:45] i cant upgrade to 14.04 [22:45] i have 12.04 [22:45] hey guys, is there a way to take a full backup of my ubuntu desktop while its running? [22:45] so if the hdd dies, i can simply restore it on a new hdd and boot directly? [22:45] BlackDalek, Printer? have you checked printers? === crazybluek is now known as Blueking [22:45] Anthaas: I'd recommend to just generate another key without a password^^ [22:46] Smokie, it's typically not a good idea to backup a live system since things on disk can be changing [22:46] Smokie: Not really. DD is the best way to do that [22:46] Smokie, there are backup programs to backup your documents etc. built in but if you want a snapshot I personally just use clonezilla [22:46] so its not like Windows? [22:46] wileee, no driver for it is listed. There is driver here for linux http://onlinesupport.fujixerox.com/processDriverForm.do;jsessionid=13F1D9969494DF481B2132C5FD8AB4CB.worker4?ctry_code=NZ&lang_code=en&d_lang=en&corp_pid=APIIIC5500&rts=null&model=ApeosPort-III+C5500&type_id=2&oslist=GNU+%2F+Linux&lang_list=en but can't figure out how to install it. [22:46] hmm [22:46] wafflejock, im trying to avoid turning it off while i need a backup [22:47] BlackDalek, Have you checked printers? [22:47] Smokie, well what I said is true by default, there are more advanced filesystems like ZFS that can take live snapshots and really push that feature [22:47] i mean to create a backup [22:47] !clonezilla | Smokie [22:47] bprompt, clonezille is a live cd [22:47] BlackDalek, I assume you mean none listed in printers? [22:47] clonezilla [22:47] @Smokie, do u mean just copying the contents on the desktop? [22:47] Smokie: I'd get a clonezilla iso, run a liveusb session, and do it from there [22:47] wileee, yes. It is not listed when you add new printer. [22:47] Smokie, 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 it [22:47] impalle, no, i mean a full backup of the whole thing [22:47] Smokie: its not like windows you can deploy your back up on another machine wioth out having to call ms for rearming [22:48] wileee, not listed under fuji xerox nor under xerox list. [22:48] JRogers, not to another "machine", to another HDD if needed [22:48] what if the machine dies [22:48] bprompt, im trying to not boot to a livecd every couple of days to create the backup [22:49] Smokie: because? [22:49] Smokie, your regular backups should just be of your critical files you would need to restore [22:49] JRogers, im trying not to think of that heheh [22:49] like JRogers indicated what if the system fails [22:49] bprompt, for various reasons [22:49] mainly cuz i have a LAMP running on it and its on 24/7 [22:49] Smokie, take a snapshot from the get go with Clonezilla once things are stable, then for your dailys just have it backup files you use [22:49] BlackDalek, I see multiple manuals in the zip. [22:50] er dd whatever [22:50] clonezilla just makes it easier [22:50] wafflejock, i assume that works for LAMP settings too? [22:50] wat [22:50] BlackDalek, Not an area I can confidently help otherwise, sorry about that. [22:50] Smokie: For "LAMP settings" just use rsync. [22:50] Smokie: 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 it [22:50] well.. the way you said it now might work for me wafflejock [22:51] Smokie: Export/dump your databases as well, done. [22:51] Smokie, works for me :) [22:51] wafflej0ck_: what linux need is a way to backup all files to recreate the same environment after reinstall [22:51] JRogers, yeah would be nice [22:51] so 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 can [22:52] JRogers: Those "ways" exist for decades. [22:52] have seen hacks for how to save the programs you installed with apt-get but some sort of restore for that and config would be nice [22:52] right wafflejock ? [22:52] wilee, yeah... I tried to follow the instructions given in the archive... but it failed. I posted more details here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2288791 === denbeiren is now known as zz_denbeiren [22:52] Smokie, regarding lamp settings clonezilla will get everything if you just backup your /etc too you'll get all your program config [22:52] Smokie: note on using "dd", dd takes a full raw snapshot, if your hdd is 250gbs and only 50gbs in use, dd will not do 50gbs only, is 250gbs or bust, whilst clonezilla will only take the used space, besides all other geometry data in the hdd or partition [22:52] bekks: meaning they are obsolete now days_ [22:52] Smokie, so that includes all your LAMP stuff whatever [22:53] JRogers: Which is a false assumption. [22:53] bprompt, good point [22:53] noted [22:53] one last question, [22:53] whats a good program to do regular backups of folder/files that i choose? [22:53] with a GUI [22:53] !backup | Smokie [22:53] Smokie: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [22:54] Has anyone here had success installing a Fuji Xerox printer on Ubuntu? Specifically a ApeosPort-III? [22:54] Smokie, yeah I've used duplicity (built into ubuntu gnome) or grsync sure those pages have more options [22:54] grsync has a GUI? [22:54] ive heard that name before [22:54] well grsync is the gui for rsync === rob is now known as Guest14700 [22:55] it just lets you pick options in a gui instead of flags at the command line [22:55] too bad you can use the ubnutu cloud anymore [22:55] ah cool [22:55] cant use the ubuntu cloud [22:55] to sore backups [22:55] store [22:55] I just looked over someone's shoulder in my CS class and saw this code: http://pastebin.com/eu39viRX [22:56] JRogers: Even having a decent connection, it would take ages to actuall upload/download backups. [22:56] *actually [22:57] how much space do you get on ubuntu cloud 8? [22:57] for free i mean [22:57] bekks not if you using btrfs and didnt make hole lot of changes to the default instal [22:58] JRogers: So how long ill it take for you to upload lets say 10GB data? [22:58] &list [22:59] i could leave it running over night [22:59] JRogers: Thats only for uploading _one_ backup :P [23:00] you just backup the btrfs snapshots [23:00] should be like 50 megas a dayt [23:00] JRogers: And then you will have to restore 750 snapshots after 2 years? :) [23:01] Hello [23:01] When 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] no the sanpshoots are incremental [23:01] you dont upload a new one everyday [23:01] JRogers: Then your snapshots will be much larger, when regularly updating your system. [23:01] you just merge with the previous one [23:02] thats how dnf works [23:02] JRogers, yeah tarsnap offers something like what you're talking about [23:02] JRogers, it locally encrypts and dedups the data [23:02] but it can still be a long time for 10GB initial upload or whatever it may be [23:02] Does ubuntu one deliver to the US?

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] how did you creat the usb drive? [23:17] hola - is there some keyboard shortcut for shutter's selection tool? [23:17] I installed the Java 7 JDK, which also brings in the Java 7 JRE. [23:17] 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 work [23:18] OneMatt: I had the same issue a while ago. I ended up creating a custom .desktop file for running JAR archives... [23:18] Oh.

[23:20] Ghhos7, gotcha okay lets try to just purge nautilus by itself hopefully and then reinstall, that seems like an okay plan [23:20] Hm, even setting the executable bit didn't do it. [23:20] Ghhos7, 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 anything [23:21] OneMatt: 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] Ok, how do I make this .desktop file? [23:22] OneMatt: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UnityLaunchersAndDesktopFiles [23:23] Ghhos7, 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 again [23:23] Ah, that looks really easy. [23:23] if 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 nautilus === denbeiren is now known as zz_denbeiren [23:24] OneMatt: Yes, fortunately it is.
