| Chaser | Hi, I wish to add custom users to /etc/passwd file (and /etc/group). Is there way to add these custom entries to a different file and the login authentication mechanism picks them up ? I want to keep /etc/passwd distribution default and have my own entries in a separate file if thats possible. | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| Chaser | Like where you define your own cron entries in /etc/cron.d etc | 00:02 |

| doctorly | Anyone know how to turn off weird kernel output on 14.04 with kernel 4.1.1 | 00:21 |
| doctorly | By that I mean, it is like tripple overlapped characters and the screen flashes white once. | 00:21 |
| wafflejock | doctorly: just during startup? | 00:22 |
| doctorly | wafflejock: Yeah, before ubuntu loads up, just the kernel output, but turning off kernel output in grub didn't fix it. | 00:23 |
| daftykins | where did you get that kernel? | 00:23 |
| wafflejock | doctorly: typically the thing that shows the loading screen to not show the verbose output going on is called plymouth | 00:24 |
| Ivoah | Do I want LVM on a new Ubuntu install? | 00:25 |
| doctorly | wafflejock: could you rephrase that? I am misunderstanding what you meant. | 00:25 |
| daftykins | Ivoah: not if you want to keep things simple. | 00:25 |
| doctorly | daftykins: one moment, let check my links. | 00:25 |
| Ivoah | What are the disadvantages to LVM? | 00:25 |
| wafflejock | doctorly: just the package/program that runs to show you some loading screen instead of the kernel output is called plymouth if you search on ubuntu 14.04 plymouth you may come up with something | 00:25 |
| wafflejock | doctorly: I've had times I needed to mess with plymouth's configuration or reinstall for it to work properly | 00:26 |
| daftykins | Ivoah: having to learn how to use it | 00:26 |
| daftykins | it's mostly for resizing of disks and partitions after the fact. | 00:26 |
| doctorly | daftykins: it was an official kernel from the ppa. kernel.ubuntu.com. | 00:27 |
| daftykins | mainline? | 00:27 |
| doctorly | wafflejock: Oh alright, I will try to mess with that quick. | 00:27 |
| daftykins | hrmm, those are really only for testing - why are you using it? | 00:27 |
| doctorly | daftykins: yeah mainline | 00:28 |
| doctorly | It adds support for trackpad on my computer and is fairly stable, just caused some weird kernel output on start, figure I just need to reconfigure something. I will try what wafflejock suggested now. | 00:29 |
| doctorly | I think it is considered extremely stable. | 00:29 |

| Or1on | have anyone experience xwindow crash & logout when using chrome maximized in Unity? I can trigger the crash by using the mouse wheel to change tabs. I can force a crash by switching a lot of tabs with the wheel. | 01:16 |
| Or1on | This is on ubuntu 14.04 | 01:17 |
| Or1on | chrome 44.0.2403.155 (64-bit) and intel GPU HD4600 with i915 driver | 01:18 |
| Or1on | I really like unity... there used to be a 2D Unity that was nice... Is there any other alternative that is similar to the unity experience? | 01:21 |
| wileee | Or1on, If I rolled you down the stairs, how would you feel, you're somewhat doing the same. | 01:21 |
| Or1on | wileee, I don't get the analogy. please explain. | 01:22 |
| wileee | Or1on, using the wheel like that kicks out random code is my guess, your not going from a to b directly, the hardware/software may be over run. | 01:23 |
| wileee | should work depending on a number of factors is all it would seem, just guessing though | 01:24 |
| Or1on | wileee, I used that without problems with the nvidia driver/card. and what I described was only how to trigger the crash quickly. it took me a real long time to find out that using the wheel to change tabs created a crash | 01:24 |
| wileee | cool, just wondering myself | 01:25 |
| Or1on | I'm going to try using "use system title bar and borders" with chrome to see if that makes a difference. | 01:32 |

How can I fix this so I can acceess the folder for reading and writing?> I have ssh access only to the ubuntu system right now (too lazy to go to the basement)' | 01:51 |
| Stanley00 | Emanuel: you can use winscp to copy files/folders with ssh | 01:52 |
| Emanuel | Stanley00, It's not an issue of copying the files. it's an issue that when I try to browse to the shared folder I'm told I lack permission | 01:53 |

| daftykins | Emanuel: view the shares? what do you mean | 02:13 |
| Steven_M | Dones ubuntu still use unity by default, or has it returned to gnome? | 02:13 |
| somsip | Steven_M: unity | 02:13 |
| daftykins | Emanuel: just browsing in Windows to \\IP or name of server\ would work | 02:13 |
| Emanuel | daftykins, I don't see the Share I made listed in the output of testparm BUT I also don't see the folder that is shared when I use testparrm | 02:14 |
| artois | Steven_M: Unity is mostly a layer on top of GNOME, however, so there's that | 02:14 |
| daftykins | Emanuel: oh yeah that'll be due to the nautilus method of sharing the folder you used, probably not gonna work automatically that. | 02:14 |
| daftykins | not without at the very least a restart | 02:15 |
| Emanuel | daftykins, a restart of the Ubuntu sysetm or restart of SMB? | 02:15 |

| daftykins | Leo7Mario: Linux devs are cunning and name logs to do with the program | 02:33 |

| Leo7Mario | :0.log | 02:40 |
| pygmyGeek | you said there was another gdm folder? | 02:40 |
| Leo7Mario | pastebin.com/pW2rfPW7 is :0-greeter.log | 02:41 |

| Leo7Mario | ok | 02:41 |
| pygmyGeek | Leo7Mario: ls && pastebinit | 02:41 |
| pygmyGeek | run that | 02:42 |

| pygmyGeek | zykotick9: whoops | 02:43 |
| pygmyGeek | I believe both work | 02:43 |
| pygmyGeek | but i may be mistaken | 02:43 |
| r00t^2 | OerHeks: that is not helpful. it lists disabling IPv6 disabling for e.g. Fedora, but not Ubuntu. | 02:43 |
| Leo7Mario | pastebin.com/LjWmrKvN | 02:43 |
| pygmyGeek | any directories in /var/log/gdm? | 02:44 |
| Leo7Mario | nope | 02:44 |
| Leo7Mario | just files | 02:44 |
| pygmyGeek | try :7.log | 02:44 |
| pygmyGeek | and :7-greeter.log | 02:44 |
| pygmyGeek | and :7-slave.log | 02:44 |
| Leo7Mario | ok those are modified before the problem | 02:45 |
| Leo7Mario | i just started experiencing the problem today | 02:45 |
| pygmyGeek | ok that's useful information | 02:45 |
| pygmyGeek | so I'm assuming the most recent logs were the :0.log files | 02:46 |
| Leo7Mario | yes | 02:46 |
| Leo7Mario | and i already pastebinned all 3 of them | 02:47 |
| pygmyGeek | I saw | 02:47 |
| Leo7Mario | wait now that i think about it those might not be the troubling logs because the date modified plus my uptime equals the current date and time | 02:48 |
| c0rd4x | list | 02:53 |

| Mathewwe | Alright. So what seems to be happening is for whatever reason whenever I try to use the desktop on Ubuntu gnome is leaves me at a black screen. I know Linux is responding as I can use ctrl alt f1 to get to the terminal and login from there, but I cannot use the DE. I tried installing drivers for my graphics card to no avail. Any suggestions for what to try next? | 04:18 |
| === Dhs92 is now known as Yukkii | ||
| on247 | Anyone | 04:20 |
| on247 | i just want to make all files owned by a appear as i owned by b | 04:21 |
| on247 | using some mount option | 04:21 |
| tonyyarusso | Mathewwe: Is it Gnome that's not loading, or the login screen? (Do other DEs work?) | 04:22 |
| tonyyarusso | on247: Have you seen the uid option to mount.cifs? | 04:23 |
| Mathewwe | The login screen loads, but as soon as I log in it goes to aforementioned black screen. I've tried using other DEs and even whole other distros(debian) | 04:23 |
| on247 | does it exist for bind mounts ? | 04:23 |
| on247 | B actually doesent access the share as share but as a mounte dir | 04:24 |
| valcea | .query wxL | 04:25 |
| tonyyarusso | on247: No, this would be different. Why not just mount it again? | 04:26 |
| Mathewwe | @tonyyarusso sorry I forgot to mention you | 04:27 |
| on247 | B actually doesent mount the share but shares a bind mounter directory with the actual samba server | 04:27 |
| on247 | B is a container | 04:27 |
| tonyyarusso | Mathewwe: Curious... | 04:27 |
| valcea | hi | 04:28 |
| === tuxor1337 is now known as Kirara | ||
| on247 | Alternatively could i just tell samba to share the effing files no mater who is the owner as long as they are in /DATA | 04:30 |
| daftykins | you might be able to just add uid=# and gid=# to your mount options | 04:32 |
| daftykins | e.g. -o uid=1000,gid=1000 | 04:32 |
| Mathewwe | @tonyyarusso think it might be my graphics card causing the problem? | 04:35 |
| daftykins | you could pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log to show if there's an issue | 04:36 |
| daftykins | Mathewwe: ^ | 04:36 |
| Mathewwe | @daftykins Would installing xserver-xorg-video-ati have any effect? I'm not at my computer right now so I'm just brainstorming how I should go about this and doing some research | 04:39 |
| tonyyarusso | Mathewwe: Either the card, how your card is detected, or how things get configured as a result anyway. Not really sure from there - the log daftykins mentioned may help. | 04:41 |
| Mathewwe | @tonyyarusso I've been looking for a reason to get a new card for while now. Is nvidia compatibility good? | 04:44 |
| tonyyarusso | Mathewwe: "It depends" :) | 04:45 |

| Leo7Mario | umm anybody know that problem i had | 05:21 |
| Leo7Mario | with gdm | 05:21 |
| Leo7Mario | maybe it has to do with gnomescreensaver | 05:21 |
| Leo7Mario | nope | 05:23 |
| Leo7Mario | not even xscreensaver fixes it | 05:23 |
| Leo7Mario | i thought that was the fix since whenever i switched users it didn't do it. | 05:24 |
| Leo7Mario | wait a second i have some more info | 05:24 |
| Leo7Mario | not only does it do that bug where the computer freezes after switching users or logging out | 05:24 |

| Ivoah | but there's not sound coming out of the speakers | 05:34 |
| mohib | ? | 05:34 |
| Ivoah | mohib: What's your issue? | 05:34 |
| mohib | Ubuntu 12.04 installation of Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300i | 05:35 |
| Ivoah | hmm | 05:36 |
| Ivoah | well, headphones work | 05:37 |
| Ivoah | but the speakers don't | 05:37 |
| mohib | Ivoah do you have experience with Ubuntu 12.04 installation of Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300i? | 05:37 |
| joral | Ivoah: often the soundcard defaults to muted in mixer. Have you double checked that its unmuted? | 05:37 |
| Ivoah | joral: Yeah | 05:38 |
| aib | Ivoah: try playing around with pavucontrol | 05:39 |
| Leo7Mario | wait you know how i said something about my gdm problem where when i switch users the screen goes black and only shows a cursor | 05:39 |
| Leo7Mario | well i think i found the cause | 05:39 |
| Leo7Mario | i resetted my machine and got welcomed by my bios saying my computer overheated | 05:40 |
| Leo7Mario | but the weird thing is not only does it do it with gdm | 05:41 |
| Leo7Mario | it also did it with lightdm as well | 05:41 |
| daftykins | so your card is toast | 05:42 |
| joral | Leo7Mario, sounds like an ACPI issue to me, something isn't sleeping correctly. | 05:42 |
| Leo7Mario | ok. | 05:42 |
| Leo7Mario | i'm in my bios right now | 05:42 |
| Leo7Mario | and my computer has cooled down a bit | 05:42 |
| Leo7Mario | like from 70 C to about 40 C | 05:43 |
| daftykins | ##hardware :) | 05:43 |
| joral | Leo7Mario, I will say what you don't want to think though, it is possible the ACPI issue is at the hw level and not sw | 05:43 |
| Leo7Mario | huh | 05:43 |
| Johnny_Linux | mmmMMMmmm, toasted card w/cheese | 05:43 |
| Leo7Mario | well i did build the computer with my problematic ubuntu install | 05:44 |
| daftykins | super helpful there, Johnny_Linux | 05:44 |
| joral | Leo7Mario, what everyone else is saying, it is likely hardware | 05:44 |
| Leo7Mario | yeah | 05:44 |
| Leo7Mario | it kinda looks like an overheating issue | 05:44 |
| Leo7Mario | it is summer where i live and my fans are kinda weak. | 05:45 |
| Johnny_Linux | prolly need to takw a can of air and clean things | 05:45 |
| daftykins | please take this topic to the relevant channel ##hardware | 05:45 |
| Leo7Mario | it doesn't do this in lxdm | 05:45 |
| Leo7Mario | but it does do it in gdm and lightdm | 05:45 |
| Leo7Mario | my friends who like to use my computer are all linux noobs | 05:46 |
| Leo7Mario | like they litterally don't know anything about basic terminal commands like cd or ls or cat | 05:47 |
| daftykins | that's nice, but you're chatting right now in a support channel - please take the chat to #ubuntu-offtopic :) | 05:47 |
| Leo7Mario | i'm just explaining my situation | 05:47 |
| daftykins | and none of it is relevant | 05:47 |
| Leo7Mario | so i was wondering if there is a fix to gdm that stops this issue | 05:48 |
| Leo7Mario | or maybe since it's multiple desktop managers it actually might be an x11 issue | 05:48 |
| daftykins | someone said you claimed 14.04 won't work on your machine, why was that? | 05:48 |
| Leo7Mario | because my graphics card | 05:48 |
| daftykins | what of it? legacy AMD? | 05:48 |
| Leo7Mario | and i really don't want to deal with package conflicts right now | 05:48 |
| daftykins | well if you have temperature issues then there's no action to be taken but to resolve those first | 05:49 |
| daftykins | you don't use software to get around hardware issues like temperature | 05:49 |
| Leo7Mario | well i am in the bios right now | 05:49 |
| daftykins | the system doesn't idle properly there. | 05:49 |
| Leo7Mario | ok | 05:50 |
| Leo7Mario | booting into ubuntu | 05:50 |
| daftykins | you need to turn it off and investigate the temperature issue | 05:50 |
| Leo7Mario | well i really can't since it's late at night | 05:50 |
| daftykins | best stop talking about it and save it for morning then | 05:51 |
| Leo7Mario | well is there any way to fix this issue | 05:51 |
| Leo7Mario | the issue is whenever i log out or switch users | 05:51 |
| daftykins | i already said resolve temperatures first, do you not read? | 05:52 |
| Leo7Mario | ok fine | 05:52 |
| Leo7Mario | i'm probably gonna put a big fan right next to my computer then | 05:52 |
| joral | Leo7Mario, that doesn't explain why its overheating and can actually make airflow through the case worse if your not careful | 05:53 |
| cfhowlett | Leo7Mario, or (and this is crazy, I know ...) get off the internet/irc and take your hardware to a computer technician? IF you actually want it fixed ... | 05:53 |
| Leo7Mario | actually i built my computer myself | 05:53 |
| daftykins | apparently it doesn't have enough cooling :) | 05:53 |
| cfhowlett | Leo7Mario, so it would seem. | 05:54 |
| joral | Leo7Mario, gonna take a wild guess that you did not use a grounding strap | 05:54 |

| k1l | Guest12422: because if its dead there is nothing ubuntu can do | 07:02 |
| notdaniel | Guest12422: yeah if it's dead, it's hard to tell. pop it into an external dock if you have one, or similar, to make sure it work at all | 07:02 |
| Guest12422 | i don't have an external dock, unfortunately. plus it's on a laptop so it's hard to take it out | 07:03 |
| notdaniel | making sure you have AHCI enabled in your BIOS is always good, but usually that's enabled anyway | 07:03 |
| Guest12422 | Well the total memory says its 2 GB which is weird | 07:04 |
| notdaniel | so i'm guessing you have more than 2gb then | 07:04 |

| Guest12422 | should that be it? | 07:07 |

| Guest12422 | wait you can check the updates in the BIOS settings? | 07:10 |
| === n is now known as Guest93620 | ||
| notdaniel | Guest12422: no you'll need to boot into something and check your machine's model | 07:12 |
| notdaniel | but honestly i don't think that's the issue | 07:12 |
| notdaniel | make sure AHCI is turned on. you are _sure_ this drive is bootable? do you have like a live ubuntu cd or some such thing to boot the machine from | 07:13 |
| Guest12422 | well i have a live ubuntu cd | 07:14 |
| Guest12422 | oh so i use ubuntu. OK | 07:15 |
| notdaniel | most of the time i see a drive not show up in the boot menu, it's either 1) the drive just plain isn't plugged in right, 2) the BIOS can't boot from UEFI and the drive has a UEFI install on it (or the exact inverse of that problem) | 07:15 |
| notdaniel | 3) AHCI isn't turned on for some bizarre weird-ass reason | 07:15 |
| notdaniel | or 4) i have a laptop that honest to god required a couple bios updates before it would boot off certain drives | 07:15 |
| BotchlaB | notdaniel: USB drives? | 07:16 |
| notdaniel | BotchlaB: i'm referring to internal sata drives. | 07:16 |
| notdaniel | this one dell laptop i have refused to boot from anythin UEFI about 70% of the time until a couple updates. | 07:17 |
| Guest12422 | so you just update the BIOS? | 07:18 |
| notdaniel | Guest12422: i mean, it's hard to tell because this could be any of several problems | 07:18 |
| Guest12422 | but it's one of the solutions, right? | 07:18 |
| notdaniel | even though it is time-consuming, the first thing i usually do in this case (once i've made sure AHCI is on, UEFI vs legacy boot is corect, etc.) is pull the damn thing out of the computer and make sure it works | 07:19 |
| notdaniel | (i dropped in here after your original question so i don't know what type of installation is on this drive) | 07:19 |
| notdaniel | but UEFI vs legacy is another thing, depending on how/where you installed the OS on that drive you cant boot | 07:19 |
| Guest12422 | oh ok | 07:20 |
| notdaniel | this was a drive that worked until a crash? or this is a new/different drive/install? | 07:20 |
| Guest12422 | well if you're asking for more information my laptop kinda jumps out of places before it crashed | 07:20 |
| Guest12422 | yeah it worked before it crashed | 07:20 |
| notdaniel | so this drive in question booted, and then crashed, and now does not boot? | 07:20 |
| notdaniel | ok, and have you booted with a live usb to see if ubuntu can see it? | 07:21 |
| Guest12422 | Yes, I'm having ubuntu rn | 07:21 |
| notdaniel | not even the file system itself, because that could very well have gotten messed up, but can it see the hardware itself | 07:21 |
| Guest12422 | how do you do that? | 07:22 |
| notdaniel | if you run 'sudo lshw -class disk -short' from ubuntu, do you see the drive? | 07:22 |
| k1l | Guest12422: again: if the bios doesnt list the hdd that hdd is most probaply broken. so there is nothing ubuntu can do about it. | 07:23 |
| Guest12422 | i'm booting with UEFI | 07:23 |
| notdaniel | k1l: drives don't always show up in the boot menu unless there is something on it to boot from, especially on UEFI machines | 07:23 |
| notdaniel | the days of the "this disk isn't bootable" error started going away after that switch | 07:24 |
| notdaniel | UEFI doesn't bother even listing it as an option on plenty of machines unless there's a bootable uuid on it | 07:24 |
| k1l | notdaniel: i am not talking about boot menu. i am talking baout the hardware settings menu | 07:24 |
| notdaniel | k1l: oh definitely, but since he wasn't sure about his settings, but is already in a live iso, we should still be able to at least see signs that the thing exists. | 07:26 |
| notdaniel | but yeah, like i've said, my first move here would've been to yank the thing out and put it in a dock somewhere else and check it | 07:26 |
| Guest12422_ | Here's what it says: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12116612/ | 07:30 |
| Guest12422 | It says "500GB", which I think is how much memory it has. | 07:32 |
| notdaniel | Guest12422: if your hard drive is a 500gb drive made by HGST, then it looks connected to me :) | 07:36 |
| goju | I am using buntu 14.04 LTS and my software updater is showing security updates pending , but when I try to install them it springs up this msg - The upgrade needs a total of 84.0 M free space on disk '/boot'.

| notdaniel | Guest12422: do you have an external drive that's as big as this one? because my obligatory disclaimer: when dealing with any sort of potential data loss, i much prefer to totally clone the drive first, so if you mess it up somehow you still have the clone | 07:38 |
| goju | notdaniel: I am trying to install the updates | 07:39 |
| Guest12422 | Unfortunately, no | 07:39 |
| acepro | ok so i am not able to dual boot this os | 07:39 |

| k1l | acepro: you can stay on the live-ubuntu and join this chat | 07:46 |
| acepro | k1l how can i contact u later in case i come back and ur not here | 07:46 |
| k1l | acepro: and the command is "parted -l" a small L at the end | 07:46 |
| acepro | just give me a few minutes ill switch to ubuntu and come back here | 07:46 |
| k1l | acepro: others can help too with that info. | 07:46 |

| ace_ | i mean i think | 08:25 |
| ace_ | its non uefi | 08:25 |
| k1l | the ubuntu installer is booting in uefi mode, so it cant see the non-uefi win8.1 | 08:25 |
| ace_ | as its old bios not the new one meaning its blue screen with white text | 08:26 |
| ace_ | how do i boot it in non uefi mode ? | 08:26 |
| k1l | you can give ubuntu the kerneloption "nonefi" iirc | 08:26 |

| ace_ | um how as i have made a pendrive and i just boot from it and it automatically boots so how do i change order | 08:30 |

| navetz | hi guys, if I install KDE to ubuntu, will I basically have kubuntu and ubuntu or how does that work? | 08:39 |
| bazhang | navetz, some duplicate packages | 08:40 |
| bazhang | navetz, at tleast with kubuntu-desktop | 08:40 |
| cfhowlett | navetz, ubuntu is the main OS. kde-plasma-desktop is the gui + apps | 08:40 |
| bazhang | navetz, you could go for a more minimal thing like the kde core | 08:40 |
| navetz | what do you guys suggest? | 08:43 |
| navetz | If I duplicate packages wont it just kind of be like a souped up version of of each? | 08:43 |
| ObrienDave | after installing ubuntu, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 08:43 |
| nodus | navetz: if your willing to do a bit of work cleaning things up, switching things over by installing kubuntu-desktop is fine | 08:44 |
| acepro12 | sadly f6 did not work | 08:44 |
| ObrienDave | that will get you KDE and the apps | 08:44 |
| nodus | navetz: but it can definately leave some configs messed up | 08:44 |
| navetz | nodus, I can clean it up, what kind of things would I need to do? | 08:44 |
| navetz | ah dang, I've been upgrading since like 10.04 I think I need to reinstall | 08:44 |
| navetz | then try to install kubuntu desktop alongside it | 08:45 |
| nodus | i havent installed kubuntu over a ubuntu install in a long time, so i dont know hoof the top of my head | 08:45 |
| acepro12 | guys ? | 08:45 |
| navetz | nodes it's cool, if anything goes wrong I can uninstall kubuntu right? | 08:46 |
| navetz | or will the configs still be messed up | 08:46 |
| acepro12 | q.q guys | 08:46 |
| nodus | navetz: the configs may be messed up, i would backup first. | 08:47 |
| cfhowlett | navetz, suggestion: test before you do all that stuff. install virtualbox. install your test OS to virtualbox. | 08:47 |

| daftykins | Nelson1: this is a topic for #freenode though and NOT ubuntu support. | 10:12 |
| NTQ | schlerp: less is not available in initramfs | 10:13 |
| schlerp | hmm | 10:13 |
| daftykins | NTQ: is it just coincidence or do you know that i wasn't telling you to do dmesg? | 10:13 |
| schlerp | use tail -n x /var/log/dmesg | 10:14 |
| schlerp | where x is how many lines.. although that wont work now i think about it | 10:15 |
| NTQ | daftykins: both | 10:16 |
| daftykins | ok good stuff | 10:16 |
| Halelujah | daftykins i found out using commanod "lslk" to be the est | 10:16 |

| Halelujah | is it safe to burn iso to DVD using dd? | 10:17 |
| daftykins | Halelujah: you can't afaik. | 10:18 |
| Halelujah | daftykins why? | 10:18 |
| daftykins | i don't expect it to work. | 10:18 |
| Guest12422 | help i don't know why i can't even open mozilla | 10:18 |
| daftykins | Guest12422: the rest of the system might be hung up on trying to access that bad disk, so live sessions might not operate with it even connected. | 10:19 |
| Halelujah | daftykins what you recommend? I tried to burn iso to DVD using xfburn it damaged my dvd | 10:19 |
| daftykins | Halelujah: must you use DVD at all? | 10:20 |
| Halelujah | yes | 10:20 |
| Guest12422 | daftykins so what should i do? | 10:20 |
| daftykins | it's 2015, flash drives are ace. | 10:20 |
| Halelujah | i want to keep DVD | 10:20 |
| Halelujah | flash drives are much more expensive than dvd :) | 10:20 |
| daftykins | Guest12422: get that system online and then run the command i had suggested | 10:20 |
| daftykins | Halelujah: yes but optical media is rubbish | 10:21 |
| daftykins | are we talking one or are you trying to deploy a fleet of 1,000 machines? :P | 10:21 |
| Halelujah | daftykins all material turns to rubbish | 10:21 |
| daftykins | Halelujah: this isn't a place for philsophy, it's fact. | 10:22 |
| gartral | hey all, I've run into a snag while looking through an old hdd of mine... I can't run "ecryptfs-mount-private" or moreover, it returns nothing, i'm on ubuntu 15.04 | 10:23 |
| Halelujah | daftykins but i didnt start it :) i also said a fact | 10:23 |
| schlerp | are you just trying to burn an iso to disk? | 10:24 |
| daftykins | Halelujah: so you can try K3B if you're sure you must stay in the past, otherwise i'm sure there are plenty of optical media writing programs out there | 10:25 |
| schlerp | if you are running ubuntu you can just right click an iso and theres an option to burn it? | 10:26 |
| daftykins | that might well be a large assumption | 10:27 |
| Halelujah | daftykins i don't know why you have something against DVD's :) | 10:27 |
| schlerp | disk image writere is standard on ubuntu, i havent used it but its always how i imagined id burn an iso... | 10:27 |
| daftykins | because live sessions don't work well from them, often drives are faulty... slow... just all the usual sensible reasons. | 10:28 |
| schlerp | right click on the iso, open with other application... Disk Image Writer | 10:28 |

| Guest12422 | daftykins I tried apt-get install smartmon tools and now it's stuck on Get:2 with 12% | 10:55 |
| schlerp | NTW: awesome! have you tried chrooting into the system and running update initramfs | 10:55 |
| daftykins | Guest12422: something must be up with your connection, or that systems general stability. what actually led to this drive being discovered as bad? | 10:55 |
| schlerp | NTQ: if not i can guide you through | 10:55 |
| NTQ | yes, I did this 5 times already | 10:55 |
| NTQ | But I can do it again ;) | 10:56 |
| daftykins | albert88nt: make the second disk the /home entirely | 10:56 |

| albert88nt | @daftykins thank you. Are ok the rest of partition wich i`m trying to do? | 10:57 |

| HewloThere | Hi. I'm simply curious about this, does Ubuntu get sponsored free bandwidth for OS downloads and repo's, etc? | 10:57 |
| daftykins | albert88nt: yep, depends on how much software you use for the 25GB / though | 10:58 |
| NTQ | schlerp: no. Not on this new ssd | 10:58 |
| popey | HewloThere: Yes. Canonical pays for datacentre hosting, and there are volunteer mirrors also | 10:58 |

| Guest12422 | is it possible for me to install it on the desktop and insert the file via flashdisk? | 10:59 |
| schlerp | if the live system has internet, we can apt0get update & upgrade too | 10:59 |
| NTQ | schlerp: do you mean withing chroot? | 10:59 |
| daftykins | Guest12422: you could grab the .deb files yes | 10:59 |
| Guest12422 | daftykins OK how do I do that? | 11:00 |
| schlerp | nah from outside chroot, it will copy in your resolve file which will let youre chroot talk to the internet for running apt-get update etc | 11:00 |
| daftykins | Guest12422: install "pastebinit" and "smartmontools" on your system then grab the .deb packages from /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 11:00 |
| NTQ | I've already copied resolv.conf to the chroot | 11:00 |
| schlerp | ok cool, so do an apt-get update and upgrade | 11:00 |
| schlerp | NTQ: then an update-initramfs -k all | 11:02 |
| Guest12422 | daftykins what's the html? | 11:02 |

| KrisDouglas | heh | 11:05 |
| daftykins | Guest12422: so armed with the version of ubuntu that your live session is booting, use http://packages.ubuntu.com/ to find and download the packages | 11:05 |
| daftykins | sounds like that system is just hosed though | 11:05 |
| daftykins | personally i'd disconnect the hard disk from it and see if the live session behaves normally | 11:05 |

| schlerp | NTQ: try reboot now and hold shift when your computer starts up to catch the grub menu | 11:11 |
| NTQ | schlerp: I did this a few times. But not after boot-repair | 11:11 |
| NTQ | schlerp: reboot now | 11:11 |
| gartral | NTQ: some machiones you need to rapidly hit Shift | 11:11 |
| schlerp | actually if you havent rebooted yet you could ry dpkg --reconfigure grub2 aswell | 11:12 |
| NTQ | schlerp: I'm in grub | 11:12 |
| schlerp | try boot your oldest kernel | 11:12 |
| schlerp | the one it installed with if its still there | 11:13 |
| NTQ | schlerp: That kernel is no more there | 11:13 |
| NTQ | It was 3.16.0-30. Now the oldest is 3.16.0-41 | 11:13 |
| schlerp | NTQ: i guess try the oldest on first and see if it still drops to initramfs | 11:13 |
| NTQ | schlerp: recovery mode or normal? | 11:13 |
| schlerp | recovery | 11:14 |
| Guest12422 | daftykins wait turns out there's "postfix configuration" on my laptop | 11:14 |
| schlerp | NTQ: im not really sure it matters, if its still broken we will prbably end up at an initramfs anyway :P | 11:14 |

| daftykins | Guest12422: well does it have choices or not? or must i guess? i'll buy a vowel to start with... | 11:17 |
| schlerp | NTQ: ok, either boot back into live so we can read dmesg or use sed -n "start,Stop" /file | 11:18 |
| schlerp | NTQ: start and stop are line numbers and /file should be /var/log/dmesg | 11:18 |
| NTQ | schlerp: in initramfs there is no /var/log/dmesg. But i can pipe dmesg through sed | 11:19 |
| Guest12422_ | daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12117552/ | 11:19 |
| schlerp | very good point haha, yeah pipe it in | 11:20 |
| daftykins | Guest12422_: hit no config then | 11:20 |
| daftykins | Guest12422_: this is all a live session so really none of this matters | 11:20 |

| schlerp | NTQ can you put a usb in and pipe dmesg to that then boot back to the live system and read it there? | 11:26 |

| NTQ | schlerp: I got some messages from dmesg as I put the usb stick in. Things like "New USB device found", "Product", "Manufacturer", "SerialNumber". But no new devices | 11:34 |
| daftykins | well you'll need a new one to put in that system to keep using it, then you can take the current one to a recovery company | 11:34 |
| daftykins | might be a good time to check out SSDs :) | 11:34 |

| hal9000 | i just updated the kernel through the Update Manager, now I get nothing but a cursor when booting unless i choose the *.25 kernel | 12:39 |
| daftykins | Bern_: open the terminal app, run remmina by typing its' name... then repeat the test connect, messages should be flooding the terminal window | 12:39 |
| daftykins | or maybe remmina even has a log window | 12:39 |
| hal9000 | do i have to reinstall the driver for the new kernel? | 12:39 |
| Bern_ | daftykins , ah so it's enough to just launch the application to get logs? I thought I had to do the connection from terminal aswell. | 12:40 |
| Jeeves_Moss | ok, I'm having a brain fart here. I just added a line to fstab, and I can't seem to get it to mount on boot. so far, I've got "//10.0.2.30/ownCloud /media/ownCloud cifs username=<User>,passwd='<my password>',iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0' | 12:40 |
| Bern_ | seems no flooding of messages are appearing. | 12:41 |
| daftykins | Jeeves_Moss: it's not passwd, it's password= | 12:42 |
| Jeeves_Moss | daftykins, I've tired both | 12:42 |
| daftykins | Jeeves_Moss: but "dmesg | tail" on a mount test would tell you what's wrong | 12:43 |
| Jeeves_Moss | daftykins, I can mount it manually | 12:43 |

| Bern_ | ioria thanks! That got it sorted. | 12:44 |
| ioria | good | 12:44 |
| daftykins | Jeeves_Moss: test it with "sudo mount -a" then "dmesg | tail" to see what it fails on | 12:45 |
| daftykins | Jeeves_Moss: oh and it shouldn't be "0 0" but more like "0 2" | 12:45 |
| MoPac | Hello. During an automatic GUI update, I've gotten a window asking to choose 0 or more drives/partitions to install/reinstall grub-pc. My system is dual-boot/multiboot, and it's all EFI, so I'm not sue if I should do anything here or not | 12:46 |
| Jeeves_Moss | daftykins, thanks. one sec | 12:46 |
| MoPac | It gives me a choice of the main sda drive, the partition of it that mounts at /boot, or the crypt volume...but I'm not sure if, with EFI, I should be asking it to install grub-pc at all | 12:47 |
| Jeeves_Moss | daftykins, thanks. I figured it out. I had escaped the password because it has a ! in it | 12:47 |
| daftykins | Jeeves_Moss: ah. the conventional approach is to declare a credentials file, stored in /root/.smbpass and set that to 400 permissions | 12:48 |
| Jeeves_Moss | daftykins, yes, that's next on my list. this box only has admin access anyways. | 12:49 |

| ruind | yeah, it just says 0.17-28 | 13:28 |

| ruind | which client is it | 13:29 |
| Pici | ruind: update-alternatives --list ftp | 13:29 |
| zetheroo | cfhowlett: according to the docs (https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/samba-ad-integration.html) the first step is to "join an AD domain" using "Likewise-open", but it seems PBIS is now the thing to use. | 13:30 |
| cfhowlett | zetheroo, I've never - samba'd. I would think the #ubunut-server folk do all the time, though. | 13:31 |
| zombiefox | I would use either, I'd use sssd | 13:31 |
| zetheroo | ok | 13:31 |

| zetheroo | zombiefox: ok, thanks. Odd thing is that there are so many how-to's online with how this 'should' work ... :P | 13:35 |
| zombiefox | zetheroo: the one I linked is in front of me and works | 13:36 |
| zombiefox | my box is in our AD and I am logged in with my AD user, so I'd say it works :p | 13:36 |
| zetheroo | zombiefox: that's great | 13:36 |
| zetheroo | and you just had to do the "Preparing Active Directory integration" part? | 13:37 |
| zombiefox | -ish, you have to configure mit-krb5 and sssd, neither is terribly hard | 13:37 |
| zombiefox | then you take the machine into ad with the command linked in the kinit article listed at the bottom -> done | 13:38 |
| zombiefox | s/kinit/msktutil/ | 13:38 |
| zetheroo | hmm ... well when we are talking a handful of machines ... no ... but 20 - 40 systems? :) | 13:38 |
| zombiefox | but in general it's: 1) install sssd and mit-krb5 2) configure both 3) take machine into AD and create keytab 4) done, log in via AD account | 13:38 |
| zombiefox | so? I assume for a setup like that you have something like salt, ansible or puppet | 13:39 |
| === cprofitt_ is now known as cprofitt | ||
| zombiefox | which means that all of this can be fully automated. If you don't: you probably want to look into that first | 13:39 |
| zetheroo | zombiefox: well according to what I was reading there was this straightforward way of adding an Ubuntu systems to AD domain ... so I really want to see if that's a dead end before launching into all this other stuff | 13:40 |
| zombiefox | I'd say that's rather straightforward, at least about as straightforward as winbind (samba) is. But feel free to try both :) | 13:40 |
| zetheroo | I am speaking of PBIS | 13:41 |
| zetheroo | ;) | 13:41 |
| zombiefox | that looks like a third party, non supported, non open solution | 13:42 |
| zombiefox | feel free to try it *shrug* | 13:42 |

| l1n3x | i guess my only solution is to reinstall? | 15:42 |
| daftykins | Dasdre: appears you're forcing a config with xorg.conf / xorg.conf.d/<stuff here> content | 15:42 |
| daftykins | Linlz: try a new user | 15:42 |
| l1n3x | me try a new user? | 15:42 |
| Dasdre | Daftykins Not manually | 15:42 |

| daftykins | you shouldn't really need one at all | 15:43 |
| Bern_ | I just DC'd. Someone here told me you could install software from source in order to get to pick destination? Im currently installing spotify, "sudo apt-get install spotify-client" would this command land the software on the same disk as the os? | 15:43 |
| daftykins | l1n3x: yeah sorry, tripped over your silly nick | 15:43 |
| daftykins | Linlz: sorry! | 15:43 |
| l1n3x | ok will come back with results | 15:43 |
| daftykins | Bern_: what's your SSD size? | 15:43 |
| daftykins | Bern_: and yes it would because you're not telling it to do anything different | 15:44 |
| Bern_ | daftykins , 120gb | 15:44 |
| daftykins | Bern_: that's plenty for an ubuntu install to have tonnes of software installed there. | 15:44 |
| Dasdre | Daftykins Should I just reinstall fglrx? | 15:44 |
| daftykins | Dasdre: would you have installed from package, or official repos? | 15:45 |
| daftykins | er package being manual download from AMD | 15:45 |
| Dasdre | Official repos | 15:45 |
| daftykins | mmm well it finds fglrx ok, but fails to find fglrxdrm - though i suspect that might be optional | 15:45 |
| daftykins | wouldn't hurt to purge the lot and try again | 15:46 |
| Dasdre | Apt-get Remove fglrx and apt get install flgrx | 15:46 |
| daftykins | no, purge | 15:46 |
| Bern_ | daftykins , sure for software. But things like spotify have no need to have quick writing/reading speeds. I would rather sample some games or more heavy software in that. How do I command a different install location? | 15:46 |
| daftykins | Bern_: no you're being way too paranoid about SSD writes, all software should live on SSD. | 15:46 |
| daftykins | and you don't :) | 15:46 |
| Dasdre | Bern_ It might be easier to force OK to ssd | 15:48 |
| l1n3x | nope tryed new user still no sound | 15:48 |
| daftykins | l1n3x: well that's the only thought i had | 15:48 |
| daftykins | unless it's as simple as volume from pavucontrol / alsamixer | 15:49 |
| l1n3x | should i run sudo apt-get install alsamixer? | 15:49 |

Is there something special I don’t know about the tick mark syntax? I believe the command is trying to run a date function, but it isn’t working | 16:17 |
| qkdt | MonkeyDust: it says the frequency should be between 1.20 and 2.21 but it goes higher | 16:17 |
| ActionParsnip | snowkidind: I thnk it's mysqlbackup/msanzo_$(date +\%m+\%d+\%Y).sql | 16:17 |
| ActionParsnip | snowkidind: the guys in #bash may be able to advise | 16:18 |
| snowkidind | that did it | 16:18 |
| snowkidind | thas a bunch | 16:18 |
| MonkeyDust | qkdt odd, but my tip still holds: install indicator-cpufreq | 16:18 |
| snowkidind | but i still wonder about why tick marks look different sometimes | 16:18 |
| qkdt | MonkeyDust: oki i will give it a try | 16:19 |
| ActionParsnip | snowkidind: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/unix-linux-appleosx-bsd-shell-appending-date-to-filename/ | 16:19 |
| dryicebomb | snowkidind: it looks like single quotes on the line that you pasted, not backticks | 16:19 |
| ActionParsnip | or that way | 16:19 |
| snowkidind | yea whats up with the backticks | 16:19 |
| snowkidind | what does that tell shell to do? encase a command? | 16:20 |
| snowkidind | i guess? | 16:20 |
| ActionParsnip | SCHAAP137: maybe there is a config file to set the panel size to the size you are setting it at and then maybe it will go to the middle | 16:20 |
| TheEagerPadawan | how do i change the dns server that my computer uses | 16:21 |
| ActionParsnip | TheEagerPadawan: tempoarily or permanently? | 16:21 |
| SCHAAP137 | hmm, interesting approach ActionParsnip, i could try that | 16:21 |
| ActionParsnip | SCHAAP137: seems to be in ~/.mateconf/apps/panel/* | 16:21 |
| TheEagerPadawan | ActionParsnip: permanently | 16:22 |
| ActionParsnip | SCHAAP137: not something I use, but worth a play. Just make backup copies of files before you edit them# | 16:22 |
| snowkidind | oh i get it after reading it is pretty much a like a macro | 16:22 |
| TheEagerPadawan | brb | 16:22 |
| SCHAAP137 | the aligning seems to take place independently from panel size though, so if i change the panel size and reboot, they're equally unaligned irrespective of the panel size | 16:22 |
| MonkeyDust | TheEagerPadawan sudo -e /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base ... nameserver x.x.x.x ... save ... sudo resolvconf -u ... done! | 16:22 |
| ActionParsnip | TheEagerPadawan: I use /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head personally, add the "nameserver a.b.c.d" lines at the bottom of that file and it will override anything you get from DHCP :) | 16:22 |
| ActionParsnip | TheEagerPadawan: eg: echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee -a /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head > /dev/null | 16:23 |
| ActionParsnip | TheEagerPadawan: you will need to rerequest DHCP to make it reapply.If you are using a static IP in /etc/network/interfaces then put the nameserver line directly into /etc/hosts | 16:26 |

| demonlove | what is the main difference between su and sudo? | 16:41 |
| SCHAAP137 | sudo is used in combination with other commands, demonlove | 16:41 |
| maintenance | oops i ve forget a litte change, i use cinamom..no problem with cinamom and gnome search tool ? | 16:41 |
| SCHAAP137 | as to execute it with superuser powers | 16:41 |
| SCHAAP137 | su is used for switching between users, mainly from non-root to root | 16:42 |
| Dasdre_ | The new pastebin : http://paste.ubuntu.com/12119199 | 16:42 |
| SCHAAP137 | it could be used in similar ways though demonlove, but this would be the main difference | 16:42 |
| ActionParsnip | demonlove: sudo is more controlled, you can specify what commands a user can run using visudo. su will let you run any command as long as you know the password of the account you are su'ing to | 16:42 |
| Dasdre_ | daftykins | 16:42 |
| ActionParsnip | maintenance: MATE is based on GTK | 16:42 |

| ActionParsnip | demonlove: http://www.differencebetween.net/technology/difference-between-su-and-sudo/ | 16:44 |
| ioria | Dasdre_, try to boot , removing "quite splash", i know is silly ... but it's easy to try | 16:45 |
| Dasdre_ | I've done that | 16:45 |
| ActionParsnip | demonlove: make (as long as the files are in your user's $HOME) will not need sudo, as you are only writing to files and folders in $HOME, so sudo is not needed) | 16:45 |
| Dasdre_ | It looks like it's booting normally | 16:45 |
| Dasdre_ | But no login screen | 16:45 |
| ioria | Dasdre_, you can restart lightdm service ? | 16:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Dasdre_: if you press CTRL + ALT + F1, can you log in there? | 16:45 |
| Dasdre_ | No screen | 16:46 |
| Dasdre_ | I can log in | 16:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Dasdre_: oh...headless box you mean? | 16:46 |
| daftykins | Dasdre_: be funny if this whole time you had a second display plugged in | 16:46 |
| Dasdre_ | It becomes headless when I start z | 16:46 |

| demonlove | do i need any extra intallation for running make cmd? | 16:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Dasdre_: After you start x , drop back to TTY1 and read /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 16:47 |
| Dasdre_ | 270x, worked fine yesterday | 16:47 |
| OerHeks | demonlove, try it, any error will give a clue what -dev packages you need | 16:47 |
| Dasdre_ | There's a crash log from the same time | 16:47 |
| Dasdre_ | I logged lut | 16:48 |
| ActionParsnip | demonlove: you'll need the build-essentials package | 16:48 |
| Dasdre_ | ActionParsnip The xorg log is in the pastebin | 16:48 |
| daftykins | Dasdre_: still seems pretty unhappy, but no content. make sure there's no xorg.conf (rename it) and perhaps empty xorg.conf.d/ | 16:48 |
| ActionParsnip | or build-essential I forget | 16:48 |
| OerHeks | !build | 16:48 |

| TheEagerPadawan | ActionParsnip: what if i use a both IPv4 and IPv6 can i just add nameserver <someip6> in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head | 16:49 |
| ismail_ | hello | 16:49 |
| ActionParsnip | TheEagerPadawan: the head file contains the text that says "don't edit this file" so any text you add to it will be assumed to be the header. The fact that it is a valid config line is just extra | 16:50 |
| ismail_ | im new | 16:50 |
| ActionParsnip | TheEagerPadawan: or you can set the name servers if you are using the /etc/network/interfaces file by adding more lines | 16:50 |
| ActionParsnip | TheEagerPadawan: the GUI network manager app will allow you to set DNS servers too | 16:50 |
| Dasdre_ | The recovery menu shows äöåöäå in the border instead of whatever it should be | 16:50 |

| TJ- | dev-code: what is the actually problem? | 16:56 |
| Dasdre | Vlx | 16:56 |
| daftykins | flash in firefox has been pretty terrible for a while, install chromium/chrome and pepperflash if you want a better experience | 16:56 |

| mojtaba | daftykins: Dasdre: http://picpaste.com/df-T8GNCfQg.png | 16:57 |
| dev-code | i've done the last upgrade on ubuntu and one of them was to update my flash plugin and now, no video online I cant see | 16:57 |
| mojtaba | daftykins: By graphic I mean appearance. | 16:57 |
| TJ- | dev-code: using what Browser/version? | 16:57 |
| daftykins | mojtaba: so the way it's green? | 16:57 |
| dev-code | Opera, Chromium, Firefox Developer edition Konqueror | 16:58 |
| mojtaba | daftykins: no. The top menu is transparent and folder icons are like the one in kde. | 16:58 |
| Dasdre | It works when I uninstall fglrx, but no cursor | 16:58 |
| mojtaba | daftykins: I do not know why this happened?! | 16:58 |
| daftykins | ah yeah, funky. | 16:58 |
| demonlove | i need some recording software for ubuntu to make video tutorials | 16:58 |
| Dasdre | Mojtaba what about right click - > panel settings? | 16:58 |
| daftykins | mojtaba: and this persists across reboots etc? | 16:58 |
| demonlove | which is best one? | 16:59 |
| mojtaba | daftykins: yes | 16:59 |
| mojtaba | Dasdre: How can I check that? | 16:59 |
| dev-code | demonlove, RecordMyDesktop from Store | 16:59 |
| dev-code | TJ? | 16:59 |
| dev-code | TJ-, ? | 16:59 |
| mojtaba | Dasdre: You mean when I right click on the desktop? (yes the right click panel has also changed | 16:59 |
| Dasdre | Mojtaba right click on the panel, panel settings, and then transparency | 17:00 |
| Dasdre | Or color | 17:00 |
| demonlove | dev-code but i think that is ppa | 17:00 |
| demonlove | installing ppa isn't right i think | 17:00 |
| demonlove | isn't? | 17:00 |
| mojtaba | Dasdre: Where is the panel? | 17:00 |
| Dasdre | No mouse /keyboard support now when I disable fglrx | 17:01 |
| Dasdre | On top | 17:01 |
| kadiro | demonlove: in some case yes | 17:01 |
| Dasdre | The green transparent thing with the icons | 17:01 |
| mojtaba | daftykins: right click does not work there | 17:01 |
| daftykins | tab complete fail :> | 17:01 |
| mojtaba | Dasdre: It is unity | 17:01 |
| Dasdre | Oh. It might have loaded gnome fallback | 17:02 |
| TJ- | dev-code: I don't have flash-plugin installed it is too much of a security risk. Check the package changelog/report a bug against it if you experience problems. | 17:02 |
| demonlove | kadiro: how to know which are some good cases don't say experience.,. | 17:02 |
| mojtaba | Dasdre: I just followed this: http://zecheru.com/thinkpad-fingerprint-ubuntu-14-04/ | 17:02 |
| mojtaba | Dasdre: and then this mess happened | 17:02 |
| TJ- | dev-code: The changelog says new upstream release New upstream release 11.2.202.508 on 10th August | 17:03 |
| kadiro | demonlove: when we can't find a package from softwere manager then yes we must try some ppa's | 17:03 |
| ioria | Dasdre_, maybe it's not completely purged .... | 17:03 |
| TJ- | mojtaba: what benefit is the FPR going to give? FPs aren't safe for authentication (i.e. as a substitute for passwords), only for identity | 17:04 |
| Dasdre | ioria why is my mouse dead? | 17:04 |
| mojtaba | TJ-: You are right. But it messed up my theme. ( I do not know what else has happened back the scene.) Do you know how can I fix the issue? | 17:04 |
| Dasdre | It gets power but won't send stuff | 17:05 |
| Dasdre | Back light works | 17:05 |
| OerHeks | demonlove, look at the ubuntu-studio package list https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Applications | 17:05 |
| TJ- | mojtaba: I'm sorry I don't. I tried that FPR GUI some time ago (about 18 months) but it was so problematic (causing random freezes of login) I removed it | 17:05 |
| daftykins | Dasdre: sure you don't have a TV plugged in? :D | 17:05 |
| daftykins | the desktop could be over there all along | 17:06 |
| ioria | Dasdre_, if you run a script to install it, you have to use it with unistall flag , then purge with apt and check if there still an /etc/ati or a /usr/lib/fglrx | 17:06 |
| mojtaba | TJ-: I removed it too, but still I have the problem :( | 17:06 |
| demonlove | and what is actully ppa means can i assume it as third party software | 17:06 |
| TJ- | mojtaba: Hmmm... did you follow the instructions about replacing policykit? | 17:06 |
| kadiro | yes demonlove | 17:06 |

| mojtaba | k1l_: Guess session works fine | 17:30 |
| ActionParsnip | nrdb: did you check routing is pushing the traffic for your LAN down the VPN? | 17:30 |
| nrdb | ActionParsnip, that is what I have been trying to get working. The port forwarding seems to be OK, the packet get the the computer running the sshd. | 17:31 |
| mojtaba | k1l_: Do you know what should I do? | 17:31 |
| ActionParsnip | nrdb: does the network you are sat on externally and the one you are VPNing have the same subnet (lots of home networks use 192.168.0.0/24) | 17:31 |
| ActionParsnip | nrdb: so if you are connecting from a 192.68.0.0/24 to another 192.68.0.0/24 network, it won't work | 17:32 |
| OerHeks | kadordo only chrome can play *some* DRM channels such as netflix, do some research, ubuntu + your country + that bis channel | 17:32 |
| k1l_ | mojtaba: what was the issue again? a bad theme? | 17:32 |
| ActionParsnip | nrdb: if this is the case you will need to change the subnet of your network to be different so that the networks are different | 17:33 |
| ActionParsnip | nrdb: something like 10.0.0.0/24 is fine too | 17:33 |
| kadiro | OerHeks: you means read from internet? | 17:33 |
| k1l_ | mojtaba: to clear all the unity settings try this command: "rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity .cache .dbus .dmrc .mission-control .thumbnails ~/.config/dconf/user ~.compiz*" | 17:34 |

| mojtaba | k1l_: I just installed finger reader software, and just messed up with the default theme of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS | 17:34 |
| nrdb | ActionParsnip, I found the problem ... I have been have trouble before with the default route on this server... I fixed and everything is OK (for ssh) ... now to figure out why the default route is not working... thanks! | 17:34 |
| OerHeks | kadiro, yes, is this so hard to understand? | 17:35 |
| k1l_ | mojtaba: if that didnt work try reinstalling the libgtk-3-common package | 17:36 |
| kadiro | OerHeks: not hard but my question is about vdr from my card sattelite, my internet is very slow i can't watch minutes normally, for minutes i must stay for minutes or more | 17:36 |
| kadiro | 3 minutes waiting for 10 or more | 17:37 |
| pigeon- | Any reason why my uBuntu freeze while I am using firefox, or when I am in my bank acccount | 17:37 |

| winsux | i would like to backup my partition table so that i can restore it if gparted or something else messes up my partition table. what is considered best practise to backup the table? | 17:45 |
| winsux1 | gparted tells me i have 12 partitions and some unallocated space. issuing sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/root/myparttable bs=1K count=1024 copies the first MB on my drive, but i don't know if this will contain the gpt (i don't think there is a mbr) | 17:50 |
| winsux1 | how can i be sure that this really contains my gpt? | 17:51 |
| genii | try running gparted on the image file | 17:52 |
| winsux1 | genii: gparted /root/myparttable gives me 'end of file while reading No such file or directory' | 17:54 |
| genii | Bah. | 17:54 |
| genii | winsux1: What says result of: file /root/myparttable ..? | 17:55 |
| winsux1 | genii: /root/myparttable: x86 boot sector | 17:55 |
| winsux1 | genii: the file does have a mbr boot signature at 0x1fe | 17:57 |
| kadiro | I think gparted work only in device and not in files | 17:57 |
| genii | kadiro: If you have a full image file of the drive, gparted and fdisk work fine on them. But looks like not if you just have the MBR or a partial | 17:58 |
| kadiro | thank you genii that help me | 17:59 |
| winsux1 | kadiro: i thought so too, but i don't know how you can export the partition table so that gparted can rescue the device if the partition table gets corrupted | 17:59 |

| uberamd | Hi all, I'm getting a Hash Sum mismatch on the Translation-en files when doing an apt-get update | 18:03 |
| kadiro | winsux1: good to heard this information | 18:03 |
| winsux1 | ioria: thanks for the link. sgdisk seems to do what i want | 18:04 |
| uberamd | But looking at the sha1 sum in the index file it matches the sha1 of the file itself | 18:04 |
| uberamd | "W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/i18n/Translation-en Hash Sum mismatch" | 18:04 |
| ioria | winsux1, good luck | 18:04 |
| TJ- | uberamd: Possibly caused because the archive mirror is/was in the process of sync-ing with the master | 18:05 |
| uberamd | TJ-: thought about that possibility however it's been a few hours now with the same results, switched to some differnet mirrors like lug.mtu.edu or de.archive.ubuntu.com and get the same result | 18:06 |
| postmodern | just updated and now i can't login, even though i had auto-login enabled | 18:06 |
| TJ- | uberamd: Was that after "apt-get update" too? | 18:06 |
| uberamd | TJ-: the apt-get update is what causes it | 18:06 |
| ioria | uberamd, it happened to me... after a couple, it disappeared | 18:06 |
| uberamd | ioria: ah gotcha thanks all | 18:06 |
| genii | uberamd: Delete the cahed lists in /var/lib/apt/lists/ and /var/lib/apt/lists/partial and then run sudo apt-get update again | 18:07 |
| TJ- | uberamd: No, apt-get reports it, it doesn't cause it. The way to test is to manually fetch the file and check its signature, and the hash. if it matches you know the local cached copy of the index/Package files are the problem. | 18:07 |
| uberamd | TJ-: sha1 of http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/i18n/Translation-en matches the sha1 listed here: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/i18n/Index | 18:09 |

| TJ- | uberamd: so the local cached lists then, genii's suggestion should clear it | 18:10 |
| uberamd | TJ-: Tried removing everything from those dir's a few times and did an apt-get clean, but alas, same problem on multiple boxes | 18:11 |
| uberamd | TJ-: not sure if it's caching something elsewhere, but if it is then I have no idea where it's hiding stuff | 18:11 |
| genii | postmodern: Did you boot into recovery mode? If so there's only one console | 18:12 |
| TJ- | uberamd: is the network behind some kind of proxy that is injecting something into those files? check the contents of the local files in apt's cache. I've often seen them contain Captive Portal log-in pages and other things like 404's from misconfigured load balancers | 18:12 |
| uberamd | TJ-: Good call, I'll check! | 18:12 |
| genii | postmodern: Wait, are you using the key on a laptop called FN, or are you using one the F1 through F6 keys instead? | 18:14 |

| jean-guy | Hi, Is there any ways I can verify the proper functionning of my ubuntu? it's freezing on me some times? | 18:15 |
| postmodern | genii, holding down the shift key does nothing during boot | 18:15 |
| genii | postmodern: If left alone does it boot into Ubuntu normally, or dump you to a grub prompt, or something else? | 18:16 |

| pigeon- | hi Jean-Guy.... I have the same question, | 18:18 |
| Jeeves_Moss | how do I control premissions on a windows share from a linux mount? | 18:18 |
| genii | postmodern: When it hits the login screen try then the ctrl-alt-F1 ( or F2, I forget if lightdm runs on the first console or the 7th like X does) and see if you get a console login instead | 18:18 |
| kadiro | jean-guy, pigeon- your problem is related may be on graphic card, i hop someone can help you | 18:19 |
| postmodern | genii, ctrl-alt-FN just brings me to a blank screen, no login prompt | 18:19 |
| genii | postmodern: When you say "ctrl-alt-FN" is "FN" the key labelled FN on your keyboard, or one of the Function keys labelled F1, F2, F3, F4, etc ? | 18:20 |
| postmodern | genii, it's F1 | 18:20 |
| pigeon- | tanks Kadiro... much appreaciate, I will check my graphic card | 18:20 |
| kadiro | you welcome pigeon- | 18:20 |

| genii | postmodern: Try F2 instead | 18:21 |
| postmodern | genii, same effect | 18:21 |
| TJ- | postmodern: the black screen VT issue is usually caused by a video driver that doesn't properly support modesetting, and the usual solution (if you can intercept GRUB bootloader) is to add "nomodeset" to the kernel command line... sounds like you can't do that right now? | 18:21 |
| genii | postmodern: Try hitting enter a couple times in one of those | 18:21 |
| postmodern | genii, already tried that, no go | 18:21 |
| genii | work, afk | 18:21 |
| TJ- | postmodern: Do you have openssh-server installed, and do you have another PC you can remotely log-in from? | 18:22 |

| jean-guy | Thanks Kadiro, do you know if is there's a way for testing or if we discard? Many thanks again. | 18:22 |
| OerHeks | postmodern, how did you manage to block grubmenu?? | 18:22 |
| TJ- | postmodern: If you've disabled GRUB's 'shift' key show-boot-manager option then it's Live-ISO boot/recovery time :) | 18:22 |
| postmodern | TJ-, shift does nothing | 18:23 |
| postmodern | TJ-, ok was hoping to avoid using a livecd | 18:23 |
| postmodern | TJ-, thanks! | 18:23 |
| ioria | postmodern, you have to try few times with shift ... or esc | 18:23 |
| Hudsonkem | postmodern try press ESC many times on bootin | 18:23 |
| kadiro | jean-guy: I'm not an expert, but i think you can install a driver from software manager if you know yours | 18:24 |
| TJ- | postmodern: which release of Ubuntu is it? If it is using GRUB v2 then the key is "shift' ... and needs to be continuously held down from the time the firmware's POST (power on self test) / splash display is active | 18:24 |
| Hudsonkem | TJ v2 works with ESC too | 18:25 |
| TJ- | postmodern: is the keyboard USB, or built-in, or PS/2 style? | 18:25 |
| pigeon- | you have a good idea Kadiro... I will also check the drivers for my video card... | 18:26 |
| postmodern | Hudsonkem, ah ha, that worked! | 18:26 |

| postmodern | TJ-, ok i appended nomodeset to the kernel args, but it still just boots to lightdm and won't login, and the VTs are blank | 18:27 |
| TJ- | postmodern: Now you can prevent the GUI starting... as well as "nomodeset" add "text" to do a VT console-only start | 18:28 |

| POQDavid | bekks: no | 19:44 |
| POQDavid | bekks: but its the only active connection after eth0 | 19:45 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: it's possible the PC requires some action in Windows first to make it happen, or it may the Linux kernel needs to be told there's a special way to control the radio. What exact make/model is the PC? | 19:45 |
| wileee | JayTeeZee, You can man wacom I have not followed your issue however. | 19:45 |

| JayTeeZee | it is a wacom digitizer built into a tablet | 20:19 |

| Dyjoe | TJ-:So I guess the best thing to do now would be adding windows again and then trying to see if there's a connection between it and the wifi's hard switch ? | 20:29 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: maybe not. I've found mention of that exact device and issue, and it could simply be a firmware/kernel version issue. | 20:30 |

| Waraqa | Is this the right place to ask my question? | 20:41 |
| kadiro | Waraqa: may be | 20:42 |
| Waraqa | I thought what I need is very simple, a software that can restore the session of opened images remembring their settings (amount of zoom and position) | 20:42 |
| Guest44032 | how do i change my nickname | 20:43 |
| kadiro | Waraqa: I don't understand your question, i'm a newbie | 20:44 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: please check the system has the firmware file "/lib/firmware/rt3290.bin" | 20:44 |
| Goddard | where does ubuntu usually install the bootloader? | 20:45 |
| TJ- | Goddard: on the boot drive, and under /boot/grub/ | 20:46 |
| k1l_ | Goddard: can you describe what the issue is? | 20:46 |
| Goddard | TJ-: it doesn't have its own partition? | 20:46 |
| Goddard | what if Windows already existed? | 20:46 |
| Goddard | would it install on the "SYSTEM" drive? | 20:46 |
| Waraqa | kadiro: When I use an image viewer, I need a few minutes to prepare images I use. I want a software that can save the current open images state | 20:46 |
| k1l_ | Goddard: can you give more details so we dont need to guess and can answer with facts? | 20:46 |
| piero | Hi! After a system update the unity fails to start. My tty consoles doesnt appears and I only can login because I have windowmaker installed. If I remove the fglrx-updates driver, a different error occours, the session dont die, but just the wallpaper and the right mouse click menu are working. Where can I start solving this problem? | 20:47 |
| kadiro | Waraqa: ah i understand now | 20:47 |
| TJ- | Goddard: It depends on whether the system is UEFI boot, or Legacy/BIOS boot, and whether the boot drive has a MBR or GPT disk label | 20:47 |
| Waraqa | kadiro: In order to save time when opening those images in the next time | 20:47 |
| Goddard | k1l_: im trying to install over the old install | 20:47 |
| Goddard | TJ-: it is UEFI Fat32 partition | 20:48 |
| Dyjoe | TJ-: manually? If yes, then yes it is there if no , then I don't understand how | 20:48 |
| k1l_ | Goddard: ubuntu over an old ubuntu? | 20:48 |
| Goddard | k1l_: no over arch | 20:48 |
| k1l_ | Goddard: any other OS installed? like windows dualboot etc? | 20:48 |
| unloading | Does somebody know if it is possible to build a livecd from a build on a vm? | 20:48 |
| kadiro | Waraqa: I understand, you want an entire session to be saved, but i have no idea for that sorry man | 20:48 |
| Goddard | k1l_: yes windows is installed | 20:49 |
| Waraqa | kadiro: thanks, I will try ask in superuser.com | 20:49 |
| kadiro | np Waraqa | 20:49 |
| k1l_ | Goddard: ok, so ubuntu will install its bootloader (grub). and that will work recognise the windows too | 20:49 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: as long as the firmware file is on the system, now all we need to do is prove it has been loaded. For that lets unload and reload the RT3290 kernel module. To do that, lets first be sure we know which module is loaded. Do "lpsci -k -d 1814:3290" | 20:50 |
| klagid | Greetings!! | 20:50 |
| Goddard | k1l_: where does it install to by default in that situation? | 20:50 |
| kadiro | grub will not erase mbr don't worry Goddard | 20:50 |
| Goddard | I erased the ubuntu partitions and grub is still popping up | 20:51 |
| TJ- | Goddard: On a UEFI boot with an EFI System Partition (ESP) grub will be installed alongside the Windows boot-manager, and will be registered in the system's UEFI boot menu | 20:51 |
| k1l_ | Goddard: for bios/legacy devices i would have said MBR of the first disk and /boot/grub in that ubuntu partition | 20:51 |
| Dyjoe | TJ-: I have received an error about lpsci : No command 'lpsci' found, did you mean: | 20:52 |
| Dyjoe | Command 'lspci' from package 'pciutils' (main) | 20:52 |
| Dyjoe | lpsci: command not found | 20:52 |
| Goddard | TJ-: oh that sounds complicated | 20:52 |
| TJ- | Goddard: The motherboard maintains in Non-Volatile RAM the UEFI boot menu. You'll need to manually delete the Ubuntu entry from there using either a tool in the firmware setup, or from Windows | 20:52 |
| Goddard | ahh | 20:52 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe:doh, my typo! "lspci -k -d 1814:3290" | 20:52 |
| Dyjoe | TJ-: 01:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT3290 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe | 20:53 |
| Dyjoe | Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Ralink RT3290LE 802.11bgn 1x1 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 Combo Adapter | 20:53 |
| Dyjoe | Kernel driver in use: rt2800pci | 20:53 |
| k1l_ | Goddard: so you got arch installed and want to remove the ubuntu bootloader entry? | 20:54 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: OK, so the kernel module (device driver) is rt2800pci. Let's unload it and then reload it, and then look at the kernel log entries it causes to see if it reports loading the firmware file too. "sudo modprobe -r rt2800pci" then load it "sudo modprobe rt2800pci" then grab the last 50 lines from the kernel log: "pastebinit <( tail -n 50 /var/log/kern.log)" | 20:55 |

| Dyjoe | Hard blocked: yes | 21:02 |
| JayTeeZee | damn i guess linux on this tablet is a no-go | 21:04 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: hmmm. can you try "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan" | 21:04 |
| downbeam | the program AcroRd32.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inconvenience | 21:05 |
| Dyjoe | TJ-:wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down | 21:05 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: I've read on the Crunchbag/Debian forums/wiki that on some HP models the F12 LED *will remain orange* even when the Wifi is enabled, *but* Fn+F12 still toggles it on or off - just that the LED doesn't indicate the current state | 21:05 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: So, press Fn+F12 only once ... and try that scan again | 21:06 |
| piero | After upgrading my linux kernal the system fails to compile the fglrx-updates driver. Here is the make log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12120718/ . What could be happening?? | 21:07 |
| downbeam | can anyone help me? | 21:07 |
| Dyjoe | TJ-: It turns white when the wifi is on. On windows it didn't work at all it always stayed white I was even wondering if it worked before installing ubuntu, but here it (For some reason) turns on airplane mode when I look at the network panel | 21:07 |
| k1l_ | downbeam: this is ubuntu support. why dont you use a linux pdf reader? | 21:07 |
| downbeam | i have ubuntu | 21:08 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: that is progress. So pressing Fn+F12 once just disabled the radio. Does "rfkill list" show anything different now? | 21:09 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: I'm wondering if the toggle state has got inverted so off means on and on means off | 21:09 |
| Dyjoe | TJ:- 2: phy0: Wireless LAN | 21:09 |
| Dyjoe | Soft blocked: no | 21:09 |
| Dyjoe | Hard blocked: yes | 21:09 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: it seems we have to ignore the LED state/colour since it may not reflect the true state of the radio. | 21:09 |
| Dyjoe | TJ-: 2: phy0: Wireless LAN | 21:10 |
| Dyjoe | Soft blocked: yes | 21:10 |
| Dyjoe | Hard blocked: yes | 21:10 |
| Dyjoe | after pressing it one more | 21:10 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: OK, so presumably if you press that key combo once again the radio turns on again? | 21:10 |
| k1l_ | downbeam: so why do you use a .exe? | 21:10 |
| downbeam | ive tried every thing even that | 21:10 |
| splash_wave | anyone know about serviio streaming? | 21:11 |
| splash_wave | im having trouble installing it | 21:11 |
| Dyjoe | TJ-: it seems the f12 only triggers the soft blocked on and off | 21:12 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: thanks, so we know what does what. | 21:12 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: I'm beginning to wonder if there's a deeper issue for your PC, since the experiences of other users with the same RT3290 and HP model I've looked at show they solved it with nothing more than we've tried so far | 21:13 |
| Dyjoe | TJ-: I've tested the card on another laptop so it's not that , I'm going to buy a modem tomorrow anyway and use a wired network but what's weird is that again, it turns on by itself for around 5-10 seconds every 10 minutes and so and within those 5-10 seconds it can connect to any network and if I manage to have the time to use a webpage I can even "browse" but besides that it didn't show any other sign of working | 21:15 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: OK, found an even sneakier workaround. Read and try this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/360589/problems-with-rt3290-card-running-using-rt2800-driver-on-ubuntu-13-04 | 21:15 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: really... has that happened recently? I'm wondering if we can locate log entries in kern.log to give us a clue on that. That sounds like a possible power-save side-effect. | 21:16 |
| Dyjoe | TJ-: It happens randomly I can't control it , it started happening after I went "berzerk" on the airplane mode on/off button and after that it just randomly happened once in a while ( I keep seeing the wireless disconnected sign every few 10 minutes or so) | 21:19 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: another possible from-boot-time solution that some people report as working - in the BIOS setup, if possible, put the network boot option before the hard disk so the BIOS *may* fully enable the wifi and ethernet devices. | 21:20 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: It sounds like you may have stumbled onto a clue as to how to solve this. Do you have some more time to collect some technical logs I can dig into? | 21:20 |
| Dyjoe | TJ-: I don't have much time left since my roomate sleeps where the modem is , from the thread should I try the "don't last past the next system boot" version or the versions he has found working for him (from the other thread he mentions)? Also in bios should I reboot with my wired connection off (i've seen some people say it might matter however it showed nochanges when i did it normally) | 21:23 |
| Dyjoe | TJ-: the roommate-modem cause is also the reason why i'd like to keep working wireless on the laptop xd | 21:24 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: Try the 'suspend' trick listed as steps 1 2 3 4 | 21:24 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: OK, well I'm around here quite a lot so come back another time and we can do some more diagnostics. If you're able to trigger it by going berzerk I'm guessing you're not far from figuring out a permanent fix | 21:25 |
| Dyjoe | TJ-: I will try the 4 steps then report back with the results | 21:26 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: good luck ;) | 21:26 |

| Dyjoe | TJ-: the 4 steps do not work , I also rfkill listed when airplane mode on/off so apparently tthe fn-f12 switch does exactly the same thing as airplane mode(when airplane mode is on soft-block is on as it s when i do the fn-f12 combo...idk if this helps ) | 21:31 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: does that strike you as a bug? We'd expect Fn+F12 to do a hard switch wouldn't we? | 21:32 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: which might point us to a bug in the hp-wmi kernel module that handles those keys | 21:32 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: I've written up the 3 diagnostic reports I'd like to see, and some suggestions for things that help investigate. http://paste.ubuntu.com/12120832/ | 21:33 |
| Dyjoe | TJ-: yes, the hard switch should be trigger by the FN-F12 , the airplane mode shouldn't be activated...as far as I know on this model at least the fn-f12 should not even start airplane mode but just close the wifi connection | 21:33 |
| barzai | does anyone recommend a book on chroot jail, linux security... on an ubuntu machine? | 21:34 |
| Dyjoe | TJ-: i've found a thread on the hp forum(compaq is made by hp) named "F12 button changed to airplane mode, can't turn on wifi" so i guess this could be a bugg from the laptop , i'm reading it now | 21:34 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: Yes, I read that and some others earlier | 21:34 |
| Dyjoe | TJ-: I've stumbled upon this http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Wireless-Internet-Home-Networking/F12-button-changed-to-airplane-mode-can-t-turn-on-wifi/td-p/2514337/page/2 , where it says to get "HP Hotkey Utility Driver " , would that work on ubuntu or do I have to install windows to switch back the commands ? | 21:37 |

In BIOS enable "Internal Network Adapter Boot" option, boot into Linux anc check the rfkill status ("rfkill list") and try forcing it with "sudo rfkill unblock all" then try scanning "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan" - some people say after doing that the PC needs a couple of reboots before it 'takes' reliably. | 21:58 |

| Technobliterator | anyone know why my internet and download speeds are really slow in ubuntu? | 22:08 |
| Technobliterator | is it some dns issue I have yet to solve? | 22:08 |
| k1l_ | Technobliterator: could be due to bad drivers. but that depends on the exact hardware. you could look up the hardware and see if other ubuntu users got the same issue with that | 22:09 |
| CheloniaG | I'm trying to do a clean install of Ubuntu on a blank hard drive. I downloaded Ubuntu desktop. My computer won't boot from this. Do I need something else? | 22:10 |

| Technobliterator | I haven't found anything online that suggests that it's to do with the hardware :/ | 22:14 |
| OerHeks | navetz, isn't there is a "reset to default" button in the font-section of the KDE-Systemsettings ? | 22:14 |

| Dyjoe | TJ-: Nothing, However I don't think the boot changes anything in the wireless in my case (including it's on/off status), because I have made the network the first thing to boot and it took a while whle it loaded the wired card,however when i rebooted with the wired connection removed it didn't stay even a second at the network it jumped directly at booting normally , it might be that the changes to the booting system were made and saved while in windows | 22:16 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: I've just found a mainline kernel bug, which includes a patch, which isn't in the mainline kernel, which is supposed to fix this. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69131 | 22:16 |
| ubottu | bugzilla.kernel.org bug 69131 in Platform_x86 "hp_wmi cannot hard-unblock wifi on HP nx6325" [High,Assigned] | 22:17 |
| mate|74463 | so....I can see that make differents L and l......ok...I got it....what u need to know from the output? | 22:17 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: As the patch isn't in mainline yet we can't simply test by installing a mainline kernel, but I'm investigating if we can build it using the DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support) | 22:18 |
| k1l_ | mate|74463: to see what is the cause of your "i cant connect" issue we need to check the drivers etc. but we need to know what wifi card that is. so please follow that clear and easy instructions i gave you. if you have issues with english ask in #ubuntu-it | 22:19 |

| mariano | what is the ~dir | 22:22 |
| Suntop_ | Hello, Question with the GRUB Boot screen I want to change Windows 8 Loader text to Windows 10 loard how do I do that? | 22:22 |
| mariano | Is that the home directory? | 22:22 |
| OerHeks | mate|74463, use paste.ubuntu.com for the full output please, just 'atheros' .. come one | 22:22 |
| k1l_ | mariano: ~ is /home/'user' | 22:22 |
| volatile240 | mariano - yes, ~ is your home directory | 22:22 |
| mariano | ah ok, thank you :) | 22:23 |
| mate|74463 | how could I copy and past if am using this from the pc that has already a connection????.....wait I will write all.... | 22:23 |
| OerHeks | just the line with atheros will do | 22:23 |
| Suntop_ | -_- | 22:23 |
| * Suntop_ sits down and waits | 22:23 | |
| k1l_ | mate|74463: ok, you did not tell so far, that you dont have a connection on that ubuntu pc at all. so can you put a lan cable in it? | 22:23 |
| mate|74463 | no | 22:24 |
| k1l_ | Suntop_: try if a "sudo update-grub" will do | 22:24 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: I'm working on a small DKMS package here that, if it works, will allow you to build the patched hp-wmi module yourself. | 22:24 |
| mate|74463 | if am having problem with wireless....means....that am digit from somewhere else....isn't true? | 22:25 |
| Suntop_ | k1l_: thats all? | 22:25 |
| OerHeks | Suntop_, that will change windows 8 to your installed windows 10 | 22:25 |
| Suntop_ | Okay I will give that a try | 22:26 |
| k1l_ | Suntop_: that command runs the scripts that generate the grub boot menu. one script will scan for windows installs. | 22:26 |
| Suntop_ | I plan to do a clean install of 10 later, will Ihave to reinstall Ubuntu? | 22:27 |
| k1l_ | a clean windows install will most likely wipe the ubuntu boot loader and will need to run a ubuntu live usb/cd to install that again. yes | 22:28 |
| Suntop_ | I understand if I do a windows insall it will take over and makit whre GURB will not show up | 22:28 |
| OerHeks | Suntop_, you wil have to reinstall grub https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 22:28 |

| yingw787 | weird | 22:35 |
| yingw787 | I installed over a corrupted version of windows 10 | 22:35 |
| yingw787 | but it freezes right after startup | 22:35 |
| yingw787 | and it does not boot automatically to ubuntu upon startup | 22:35 |
| yingw787 | I need to boot to BIOS first and select GRUB | 22:36 |

| === alan_ is now known as Guest33593 | ||
| yingw787 | bekks: when I start the computer otherwise the screen just turns black | 22:39 |
| bekks | yingw787: You access the BIOS prior grub is started. | 22:39 |
| yingw787 | bekks: yeah but I want it to just boot into ubuntu automatically without having to manually access BIOS in order to boot grub | 22:40 |
| yingw787 | bekks: it's not doing that right now | 22:40 |
| bekks | yingw787: So set the boot order you are changing in BIOS persistantly. | 22:40 |
| scott_11 | thanks k1l_ | 22:41 |
| yingw787 | bekks: I tried setting the boot order, but they're not labelled nicely; one is grub and I think the other is some phantom USB disc | 22:41 |
| bekks | yingw787: Which doesnt matter since you have to set the boot order once, persistantly. | 22:42 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: are you still awake? | 22:42 |
| Dyjoe | tj-:yes | 22:42 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: I have a DKMS module for hp-wmi for you to test. Download it from https://iam.tj/projects/misc/hp-wmi.dkms.tar.gz | 22:44 |
| scott_11 | is there a general opinion on the difference between fglrx and fglrx-updates? which should I choose? | 22:45 |
| ash_m | hey, there's no need for something like vagrant if you're running an ubuntu distro from your local machine, is there? | 22:46 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: assuming you saved it to your $HOME/Downloads/ directory using a web browser, then in a terminal do "sudo tar -C / -xzf $HOME/Downloads/hp-wmi.dkms.tar.gz" - this should extract the files into the /usrs/src/ directory so you can attempt to build it | 22:46 |
| ash_m | meaning I should just install webservers, languages, etc, directly to my workstation... or is it better to isolate this in a vagrant environment? | 22:46 |
| TJ- | ash_m: for 'cleanliness' you might want to isolate those tools in chroot's or using containers (LXC/Docker) | 22:47 |
| Dyjoe | TJ-: I have done just that, I haven't received a return message for it so I'm imagining it worked? Should I reboot now? | 22:48 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: no reboots! This Is Linux not Windows :) | 22:48 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: You've only installed source code so far. Check you see it there first with "ls -l /usr/src/hp-wmi-1.01/ | 22:49 |

| Dyjoe | TJ-:http://paste.ubuntu.com/12121174/ | 23:06 |
| mate|74463 | on windows....is everything working as usual... | 23:06 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: I've also just found a very strong hint that a kernel command-line boot option for ACPI could fix this. I came on that since the syslog you provided a few minutes ago shows unknown key codes, and that is related to the Fn-F12 sequence from what I can make out. The fix involves adding " acpi_osi="!Windows 2012" " | 23:07 |
| mate|74463 | on Ubuntu....does not reach any network around me.....looks like switched off...but I don't know hot to let it work...even from the bios menu... | 23:07 |
| k1l_ | mate|74463: is there no chance you can put a lan cable into that laptop? | 23:08 |
| mate|74463 | no | 23:08 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: OK... I need to change the source code in hp-wmi.c to an older version for it to work... whilst I do that, why not try rebooting, intercept the GRUB boot manager by holdind down the Shift key, and in the menu navigate to the Ubuntu entry, press E to edit it, navigate to the line "linux ..." and at the end add acpi_osi="!Windows 2012" then press F10 or Ctrl+X to execute that | 23:09 |
| mate|74463 | may it will solve all....may the system need a several update....I know | 23:09 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: if that works... you won't need my DKMS code | 23:09 |

| TJ- | Dyjoe: OK, so we've made some change but not quite the correct one. There are several options for ACPI and its per-BIOS-image, but I suspect that might be the actual *correct* fix so I wonder if you can upload the ACPI DSDT binary table somewhere for me so I can disassemble it. "sudo sh -c 'cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT | gzip > /tmp/DSDT.bin' " | 23:24 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: then upload "/tmp/DSDT.bin" somewhere | 23:24 |

| yingw787_ | I'm not sure why | 23:30 |
| yingw787_ | any suggestions | 23:30 |
| k1l_ | dont reboot ;p | 23:30 |

| yingw787_ | it is hard to do that when it doesn't reboot ;P | 23:31 |
| k1l_ | yingw787_: dont know. i would suggest to look into the logs (syslog and dmesg) and the old ones before the recycle if there is something obvious | 23:31 |

| xfceKris | I have a broken boot partition on my windows hdd, though grub boots windows normally. If I unplug my xfce hdd, the pc should boot windows as if it were the only OS installed. Instead I get a grub rescue screen. Can anyone help me fix this? | 23:43 |
| Peyamm | I dont know how to do it on a usb. Just did it on USB k1l_ | 23:43 |
| xfceKris | Also, I've looked at all the tutorials I care to look at, so please no tutorials. I haven't got a windows disk either, only a linux usb. | 23:44 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: OK, nothing will change until we unload the current module from memory and load the new module. First lets check the new module is installed. Do "modinfo hp-wmi" and check the first line of the output, the filename. It must have in it updates/dkms/hp-wmi.ko | 23:47 |
| Dyjoe | TJ-:yes it is in there | 23:48 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: OK ... I suspect because of the Fn-F12 not currently working due to the acpi_osi setting, it won't help right now without a reboot. Let's try it anyhow. "sudo modprobe -r hp-wmi" then "sudo modprobe hp-wmi" then try the key sequence see if it affects "rfkill list" | 23:49 |

| TJ- | Dyjoe: A little bit of background about the ACPI DSDT table. It is actually a form of executable code the firmware specifies, but the OS kernel interprets. One function configures the PC with various settings based on the operating system name (OSI). I've disssembled your DSDT and this fragment shows that code. You can see how it stores different config values depending on the name of the OS it receives. http://paste.ubuntu.com/12121288/ | 23:51 |
| the_count | whoops | 23:51 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: Turns out OSI "!Windows 2012" isn't the correct setting for your PC, but it is possible "Windows 2012" is (without the "!"). | 23:52 |
| Caelum | How do I see my ubuntu version? | 23:52 |

| BTJustice | Is there a way to change the color depth using Terminal? I do not have an xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 so I have no idea how to do it. | 23:54 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: I expected it would be for now, since we disabled hotkey interpretation with that "!Windows 2012" :) | 23:54 |
| Dyjoe | TJ-:http://paste.ubuntu.com/12121309/ | 23:54 |
| Dyjoe | TJ-: Airplane mode is also trigger by FN-F12 again however now when i press it i trigger it back off as well not only on-on | 23:55 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: Yay! you have the hp-wifi and hp-bluetooth devices now | 23:56 |
| drkjtr | xfceKris: I think I remember you having this issue the other day. Where is your grub installed? The Windows drive or the XFCE? | 23:56 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: OK ... let's try just rebooting without any special acpi_osi value... just reboot and see how we go | 23:56 |
| TJ- | Dyjoe: I have a good feeling about this | 23:56 |
