[00:01] 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. [00:02] Like where you define your own cron entries in /etc/cron.d etc === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [00:16] gah, not sure if my last message went though. just wondering if anyone here that is good with upstart could advise if this script is OK? for loading a node app: http://pastebin.com/9BTXT3ij [00:17] Penguinguy: check out xsane for scanning === owner is now known as Guest57680 [00:21] Anyone know how to turn off weird kernel output on 14.04 with kernel 4.1.1 [00:21] By that I mean, it is like tripple overlapped characters and the screen flashes white once. [00:22] doctorly: just during startup? [00:23] wafflejock: Yeah, before ubuntu loads up, just the kernel output, but turning off kernel output in grub didn't fix it. [00:23] where did you get that kernel? [00:24] doctorly: typically the thing that shows the loading screen to not show the verbose output going on is called plymouth [00:25] Do I want LVM on a new Ubuntu install? [00:25] wafflejock: could you rephrase that? I am misunderstanding what you meant. [00:25] Ivoah: not if you want to keep things simple. [00:25] daftykins: one moment, let check my links. [00:25] What are the disadvantages to LVM? [00:25] 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 [00:26] doctorly: I've had times I needed to mess with plymouth's configuration or reinstall for it to work properly [00:26] Ivoah: having to learn how to use it [00:26] it's mostly for resizing of disks and partitions after the fact. [00:27] daftykins: it was an official kernel from the ppa. kernel.ubuntu.com. [00:27] mainline? [00:27] wafflejock: Oh alright, I will try to mess with that quick. [00:27] hrmm, those are really only for testing - why are you using it? [00:28] daftykins: yeah mainline [00:29] 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] I think it is considered extremely stable. [00:54] facebook === NotANick_ is now known as NotANick [01:16] 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. [01:17] This is on ubuntu 14.04 [01:18] chrome 44.0.2403.155 (64-bit) and intel GPU HD4600 with i915 driver [01:21] 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] Or1on, If I rolled you down the stairs, how would you feel, you're somewhat doing the same. [01:22] wileee, I don't get the analogy. please explain. [01:23] 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. [01:24] should work depending on a number of factors is all it would seem, just guessing though [01:24] 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 [01:25] cool, just wondering myself [01:32] I'm going to try using "use system title bar and borders" with chrome to see if that makes a difference. === Guest14119 is now known as amrX2K [01:42] does anyone run Cannonical Openstack here? [01:47] khaldrogox, some of us do, you might ask in #ubuntu-server too [01:47] OerHeks, thanks! I had a question regarding 10 node licensing. [01:47] site says its free, but I have a "Outage in X days* on my cloud region monitor. [01:48] I am not worried as nothing prod is running there [01:48] but I am in the middle of testing and its a bit concerning [01:48] timer also counts down a lot quicker than days -- more like 2-3 days each day. [01:51] help needed please. I have a ubuntu system on my home network. I can see it from My windows 10 system but do not have access to a fold that I am sharing on the network. i used nataulis to make the share. 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)' [01:52] Emanuel: you can use winscp to copy files/folders with ssh [01:53] 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] Hello, i installled ubuntu 15.04 but the nvidia proprietary driver is bugged and i cant start the gui(appear lots of fragments and it freezes), i entering the recovery mode and in the terminal. Whoe can i change the driver or put the generic again? [01:53] Emanuel: oh, for the samba part, I cannot help since I've never used it. [01:54] Windows says it can't access \\PRINTERSERVER\Plexfolder You do not have permission to access \\PRINTSERVER\Plexfolder. Contact your network administrator to request access' [02:03] :) [02:08] Emanuel: are you attempting to use user+pass authentication from Windows? [02:09] daftykins, No I believe I have guest allowed. === avery_ is now known as kala [02:09] 1) Leave the homegroup on the win10 machine (if it's in one) 2) set an smb password on the ubuntu system 3) ensure the share was created properly with 'testparm' 4) restart samba with "sudo service smbd restart" (might be samba, not smbd) === snowkidind_ is now known as snowkidind [02:11] daftykins, How camn i view the shares? My end goal is to be able to use my FireTV to watch movies on my plex system [02:12] very strange that some of my ubuntu setup will auto generate 70-persistent-net.rules, some of them didn't [02:13] Emanuel: view the shares? what do you mean [02:13] Dones ubuntu still use unity by default, or has it returned to gnome? [02:13] Steven_M: unity [02:13] Emanuel: just browsing in Windows to \\IP or name of server\ would work [02:14] 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] Steven_M: Unity is mostly a layer on top of GNOME, however, so there's that [02:14] Emanuel: oh yeah that'll be due to the nautilus method of sharing the folder you used, probably not gonna work automatically that. [02:15] not without at the very least a restart [02:15] daftykins, a restart of the Ubuntu sysetm or restart of SMB? [02:15] both [02:16] though one causes the other ;) [02:16] daftykins, Ok let me do a reboot === Yukkii is now known as Dhs92 [02:16] quite honestly a GUI share is never going to be as reliable as a nice proper samba share defined in smb.conf :> [02:17] daftykins, I don't have time now to learn how to code a samba share. In November I will but not before then. Quuick & Dirty will work for my fiance for now [02:18] am having trouble opening a tar file...can someone help with it? [02:19] hi everyone, i'm looking for a confident programmer who is interested in politics. [02:19] roo [02:21] Emanuel: you'll never change it if you don't get it right first time. [02:21] how do i disable IPv6 for the installer via the kernel commandline? i'm booting debian-installer from iPXE. [02:21] bendun: well you're in the wrong place [02:21] !ot [02:21] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [02:22] daftykins: well i need to find out how to host something off an ubuntu server [02:22] bendun: that is not dev or politics :P [02:22] somsip: okay, is there a spin-off version for gnome, in the same way that KDE users have Kubuntu? [02:22] r00t^2, ask in #debian ? [02:22] daftykins: :P well i better go now lol [02:23] bendun: if you can form a straightforward question about ubuntu, then just ask. But if it's nothign to do with ubuntu really, expect to be told to go elsewhere [02:23] !flavors | Steven_M [02:23] Steven_M: yup Ubuntu Gnome edition [02:23] Steven_M: !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. [02:23] OerHeks: i'm booting ubuntu. ubuntu kernel, ubuntu initrd. [02:23] i have this problem with gdm on ubuntu 12.04 [02:23] leo7mario: say what it is [02:24] artois: interesting, I did not know that. [02:24] whenever i log out or switch users [02:24] it goes to a black screen [02:24] and i can't go to another tty or kill X11 [02:25] hi, if I calculate the sha1 of a datablock, then encrypt the sha1 with a safe algorithm, e.g. aes, and send the encrypted hash as "signature" to the recipient, will it be safe to authenticate the data? what's the difference between this simple approach and HMAC? [02:27] if i hard-shutdown the computer it will go back to gdm and i can be able to log in again, but if i log out or switch users it goes to a black screen and sometimes displays a cursor [02:28] i've created a bash script to setup and run my gunicorn application server but the bash script is not properly setting my env variables [02:28] http://dpaste.com/1GBTZGS [02:28] can someone help me out with that [02:29] Leo7Mario: check its' logs [02:29] where does it store the logs [02:29] limbera: ask in #bash [02:29] thank you [02:29] Leo7Mario: where all the logs live [02:29] somsip: wafflejock: thanks :-) [02:30] /var/log? [02:30] leo7mario: try that [02:31] Leo7Mario: it's in /var/log/gdm [02:31] r00t^2, i think you need to setup your pxe service right, /etc/dnsmasq.conf [02:31] ok there's 69 different files in there [02:32] OerHeks: it's booting just fine. it boots to the installer. please re-read my question. [02:32] Leo7Mario: what's the most recent one [02:32] Leo7Mario: to clarify, it should be in /var/log/gdm -- simply called gdm.log [02:33] Leo7Mario: Linux devs are cunning and name logs to do with the program [02:34] Leo7Mario: put the log on pastebin [02:34] then post the link here [02:35] !paste [02:35] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [02:35] OerHeks: and before you say it, i'm aware i can do it with a preseed file- but i'm trying to avoid using a preseed file, nor should i need to use one as there's a perfectly good kernel command-line paramater- ipv6.ipv6_disable - yet it is not honoured by the ubuntu installer. [02:35] I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 server. How do I start inetd as a service? [02:35] ok i have 3 log files with the same timestamp, :0.log, :0-greeter.log, and :0-slave.log [02:35] should i upload all of them? [02:35] OerHeks: so i'll ask again- what boot parameter is the ubuntu installer expecting to disable ipv6 autoconfiguration? [02:35] Leo7Mario: GDM.LOG [02:36] there is no gdm.log there is a folder for gdm though [02:36] look in the gdm folder [02:36] *facepalm* [02:37] wileee, one of the indicators (psensor) was causing the crashes I was having when using the mouse wheel to switch tabs on chrome. It seems to be normal now :o) [02:38] pastebin.com/dMkfPp6q [02:38] Leo7Mario: were you in /var/log [02:38] or /var/log/gdm [02:38] /var/log/gdm [02:38] was that the directory with the three files? [02:38] yeah [02:39] ls && pastebinit [02:40] .:Leo7Mario:. pastebin.com/dMkfPp6q [02:40] what file was that btw [02:40] :0.log [02:40] you said there was another gdm folder? [02:41] pastebin.com/pW2rfPW7 is :0-greeter.log [02:41] r00t^2, not sure this multi-pxe is any help, it is still configured serverside https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallMultiDistro [02:41] and pastebin.com/hA32gwnd is :0-slave.log [02:41] can you share the full ls for /var/log/gdm? [02:41] ok [02:41] Leo7Mario: ls && pastebinit [02:42] run that [02:42] pygmyGeek: ahhh "ls && pastebinit" doesn't seem right?!? "ls | pastebinit" perhaps? [02:43] zykotick9: whoops [02:43] I believe both work [02:43] but i may be mistaken [02:43] OerHeks: that is not helpful. it lists disabling IPv6 disabling for e.g. Fedora, but not Ubuntu. [02:43] pastebin.com/LjWmrKvN [02:44] any directories in /var/log/gdm? [02:44] nope [02:44] just files [02:44] try :7.log [02:44] and :7-greeter.log [02:44] and :7-slave.log [02:45] ok those are modified before the problem [02:45] i just started experiencing the problem today [02:45] ok that's useful information [02:46] so I'm assuming the most recent logs were the :0.log files [02:46] yes [02:47] and i already pastebinned all 3 of them [02:47] I saw [02:48] 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 [02:53] list [02:53] -l [02:55] i might take a little break. if you think you know what the problem or solution is please tell me === raj1 is now known as Galaxy [02:59] Leo7Mario: upgrade to 14.04 [03:01] daftykins: apparently his pc can't run it somehow [03:01] that seems unlikely [03:01] yeah [03:01] we discussed it on another network before he was told to join here [03:01] well that's useful [03:01] i'd wager that conclusion is wrong though [03:10] I'm having issues with VLC on a fresh Ubuntu install [03:11] I insert a DVD and open it in VLC [03:11] then click play [03:11] yeah i cannot upgrade to 14.04 due to my computer's graphics card not supporting hardware acceleration. [03:12] but it immediately pauses it [03:13] also i had this problem where a floppy doesn't mount automatically, i easily fixed that through editing a file.

(Do other DEs work?) [04:23] on247: Have you seen the uid option to mount.cifs? [04:23] 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] does it exist for bind mounts ?

[04:28] hi === tuxor1337 is now known as Kirara [04:30] Alternatively could i just tell samba to share the effing files no mater who is the owner as long as they are in /DATA [04:32] you might be able to just add uid=# and gid=# to your mount options [04:32] e.g. -o uid=1000,gid=1000 [04:35] @tonyyarusso think it might be my graphics card causing the problem?

[05:45] prolly need to takw a can of air and clean things [05:45] please take this topic to the relevant channel ##hardware [05:45] it doesn't do this in lxdm [05:45] but it does do it in gdm and lightdm [05:46] my friends who like to use my computer are all linux noobs [05:47] like they litterally don't know anything about basic terminal commands like cd or ls or cat [05:47] that's nice, but you're chatting right now in a support channel - please take the chat to #ubuntu-offtopic :) [05:47] i'm just explaining my situation [05:47] and none of it is relevant [05:48] so i was wondering if there is a fix to gdm that stops this issue [05:48] or maybe since it's multiple desktop managers it actually might be an x11 issue [05:48] someone said you claimed 14.04 won't work on your machine, why was that? [05:48] because my graphics card [05:48] what of it? legacy AMD? [05:48] and i really don't want to deal with package conflicts right now [05:49] well if you have temperature issues then there's no action to be taken but to resolve those first [05:49] you don't use software to get around hardware issues like temperature [05:49] well i am in the bios right now [05:49] the system doesn't idle properly there. [05:50] ok [05:50] booting into ubuntu [05:50] you need to turn it off and investigate the temperature issue [05:50] well i really can't since it's late at night [05:51] best stop talking about it and save it for morning then [05:51] well is there any way to fix this issue [05:51] the issue is whenever i log out or switch users [05:52] i already said resolve temperatures first, do you not read? [05:52] ok fine [05:52] i'm probably gonna put a big fan right next to my computer then [05:53] Leo7Mario, that doesn't explain why its overheating and can actually make airflow through the case worse if your not careful [05:53] 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] actually i built my computer myself [05:53] apparently it doesn't have enough cooling :) [05:54] Leo7Mario, so it would seem. [05:54] Leo7Mario, gonna take a wild guess that you did not use a grounding strap [05:54] i did [05:54] !ot [05:54] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [05:54] take it to ##hardware people, third time of asking now. [05:54] Leo7Mario, indeed. ##hardware for the experts. [05:55] i'll try it again in an hour [05:56] hi [05:56] is there anything that could override the blacklist.local.conf file, or otherwise explain why a blacklisted modules is still being loaded at boot? [05:57] what joral [05:57] hey [05:57] heru [05:57] s [05:57] s [05:57] sd [05:57] df [05:58] ayush: I have a module that I have added to blacklist.local.conf, yet it is still loading at system boot [06:00] wait when i tried doing it again something different showed up [06:01] it went to gdm but the computer hung and it repetively played the drum noise. [06:01] and my computer was cooled down [06:04] nope :) fix. it. [06:13] Is Lubuntu abandoned? [06:15] [ASK] how i can enable user home dir on webserver ? [06:15] like this mydomain.com/~user [06:17] xViper: Include conf/extra/httpd-userdir.conf [06:18] Canonical Landscape seems $$$$$$$$$. [06:18] if you guys have multiple Ubuntu machines to admin, and keep up to date... how do you do it efficiently? [06:19] we want to create a partition with around 40 TB.. which fs do you guys recommend for that? [06:19] whoa [06:19] that's massive [06:19] SuperLag: is it really? [06:19] for a single partition? I'd certainly say so [06:19] need help getting access to my portable hard drive, just installed ubuntu pm me for help please [06:20] gingerlyred: plug it in [06:20] start with that [06:20] already done, wont recognize is [06:20] it [06:21] gingerlyred: how are you making the determination it's not recognizing the drive? [06:21] SuperLag: you'd create different small partitions amounting to around 40 TB in total? [06:21] its not on the file explorer but it is on the disks application [06:21] zamba: Depends on what I was using the system for. I've never heard of anyone needing a single fs of that size. [06:22] zamba: of course, that's not to say there is no application for something like that... I just don't know what that'd be :) [06:22] hehe [06:22] Hey guys! I'm hosting a private VPS with a vzfs filesystem. The vzfs partiion is full, but the host says they've extended the allowed quota. But I don't know how to allocate the new space [06:22] zamba: what are you planning on using it for? [06:23] gingerlyred: does the portable drive have data on it? is it formatted already? [06:23] it should have data on it, i havent formatted it since i changed os's === rangzen__ is now known as rangzen_ [06:23] and i only changed os's an hour ago [06:23] gingerlyred: what's on that drive? [06:23] music, books, game setup files [06:24] gingerlyred: right, but was this drive for your OS, or a secondary drive you had stuff put on? [06:24] secondary [06:24] gingerlyred: and was this something you'd formatted in Windows? [06:25] yea before i put stuff on it [06:25] do you remember what type of filesystem you formatted it as? FAT or NTFS? [06:25] ntfs [06:25] gingerlyred: you comfy with the command line? [06:26] the terminal says the system on the drive is GPT and the id is ee [06:26] ciao a tutti [06:26] gingerlyred: if not, I suggest you get to that point. It'll only help. :) [06:26] gingerlyred: if you run dmesg, what drive letter comes up at/near the end? [06:27] ci sono toscane? [06:27] gingerlyred: something like /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc [06:27] jonny_: there's probably an Italian channel for you. [06:27] its dev/sdb [06:29] gingerlyred: okay, all one partition, or did you make multiple? [06:29] multiple, made sdb and sdb2 === DigitalDayTrader is now known as SparkMasterTape [06:30] from what it looks like on disks sdb2 has the 250gbs (not all of that is used) [06:30] sorry it made 3 partitions, sdb,sdb1,sbd2 [06:30] gingerlyred: try sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt [06:31] gingerlyred: that's only going to be two parititons [06:31] got: mount: block device /dev/sdb2 is write-protected, mounting read-only [06:31] mount: you must specify the filesystem type [06:31] gingerlyred: sdb is the name of the disk, and sdb1 and sdb2 are partitions on that did [06:32] gingerlyred: Okay. Try this, then: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb2 [06:32] then if you run just "mount" it'll tell you where it mounted it to... probably something in /media/youruser/...... [06:33] says only root can do that [06:33] sorry... sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb2 === brayden_ is now known as Blaster [06:35] it basically gave me a list of help options [06:39] Hello [06:39] this is for help, right? === lala is now known as Guest12422 [06:40] Guest12422: yes, just ask if its ubuntu support [06:40] ok, then i have a question [06:41] i'm trying to restore data from an errored harddisk [06:41] anyone knows how to change mouse sensitivity through terminal in 15.04? [06:41] xset m doesn't work [06:41] I'm trying to restore the data on ubuntu but I can't find any drives in Computer [06:42] Guest12422: if you run lslblk, in the terminal do you see the drive there? [06:43] " Command 'lsblk' from package 'util-linux' (main) lslblk: command not found" [06:43] Guest12422: sorry mistype on my part [06:43] Guest12422: meant lsblk [06:44] "NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 465.8G 0 disk sr0 11:0 1 1006M 0 rom /cdrom loop0 7:0 0 962.1M 1 loop /rofs" [06:44] Guest12422: can you see the disk in the bios? [06:44] Guest12422: use paste.ubuntu.com to share multiline here [06:45] in the bios? how? [06:46] wafflejock: what kind of syntax? [06:46] Guest12422: was just saying what you pasted earlier that is across multiple lines is better to share here http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [06:48] wafflejock: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12116433/ [06:51] Guest12422: okay yeah not showing the disk so probably something not working in the controller on the hard drive or something, not much hope then, like k1l said you could try checking to see if the hard disk can be seen in the BIOS setup in the boot disk section or otherwise but sounds like it's not communicating [06:52] okay, i will be right back. [06:55] outside of lvm, is there a decent way to 'snapshot' my current ubuntu install? other than, say, imaging the whole thing [06:58] !info grsync [06:58] grsync (source: grsync): GTK+ frontend for rsync. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.5-1 (vivid), package size 127 kB, installed size 700 kB [06:58] Hey guys, any idea what Cinnamon appletts are programmed in? [06:59] wait i forgot what to do again [07:00] i went to BIOS setup, then what [07:01] Guest12422: missed your problem, what's the full issue? can't boot from ubuntu, or your computer can't see the disk at all? [07:02] my computer can't see the disk at all [07:02] is it a new disk? has it ever seen it? have other machines seen it? [07:02] i'm trying to restore my files from Hard Disk Error 2F1 [07:02] Guest12422: then see if it lists that hdd somewhere. that depends on your actual mainboard/bios. but its about checking if that hdd is working at all or dead. [07:02] I mean 3F1 [07:02] Guest12422: because if its dead there is nothing ubuntu can do [07:02] 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 [07:03] i don't have an external dock, unfortunately. plus it's on a laptop so it's hard to take it out [07:03] making sure you have AHCI enabled in your BIOS is always good, but usually that's enabled anyway [07:04] Well the total memory says its 2 GB which is weird [07:04] so i'm guessing you have more than 2gb then [07:04] Yes [07:05] At least before the crash [07:05] check for a bios update exists for your machine. install it. reseat the RAM/HD/whatever else [07:05] Oh wait i'm on boot options now [07:06] and what does it show you [07:07] CD ROM Boot enabled,Internal Network Adapter Boot Enabled, Network Boot Protocol IPv4 legacy... [07:07] should that be it? [07:09] oh ok i'll search for bios update [07:10] wait you can check the updates in the BIOS settings? === n is now known as Guest93620 [07:12] Guest12422: no you'll need to boot into something and check your machine's model [07:12] but honestly i don't think that's the issue [07:13] 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 [07:14] well i have a live ubuntu cd [07:15] oh so i use ubuntu. OK [07:15] 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] 3) AHCI isn't turned on for some bizarre weird-ass reason [07:15] or 4) i have a laptop that honest to god required a couple bios updates before it would boot off certain drives [07:16] notdaniel: USB drives? [07:16] BotchlaB: i'm referring to internal sata drives. [07:17] this one dell laptop i have refused to boot from anythin UEFI about 70% of the time until a couple updates. [07:18] so you just update the BIOS? [07:18] Guest12422: i mean, it's hard to tell because this could be any of several problems [07:18] but it's one of the solutions, right? [07:19] 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] (i dropped in here after your original question so i don't know what type of installation is on this drive) [07:19] but UEFI vs legacy is another thing, depending on how/where you installed the OS on that drive you cant boot [07:20] oh ok [07:20] this was a drive that worked until a crash? or this is a new/different drive/install? [07:20] well if you're asking for more information my laptop kinda jumps out of places before it crashed [07:20] yeah it worked before it crashed [07:20] so this drive in question booted, and then crashed, and now does not boot? [07:21] ok, and have you booted with a live usb to see if ubuntu can see it? [07:21] Yes, I'm having ubuntu rn [07:21] not even the file system itself, because that could very well have gotten messed up, but can it see the hardware itself [07:22] how do you do that? [07:22] if you run 'sudo lshw -class disk -short' from ubuntu, do you see the drive? [07:23] 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] i'm booting with UEFI [07:23] k1l: drives don't always show up in the boot menu unless there is something on it to boot from, especially on UEFI machines [07:24] the days of the "this disk isn't bootable" error started going away after that switch [07:24] UEFI doesn't bother even listing it as an option on plenty of machines unless there's a bootable uuid on it [07:24] notdaniel: i am not talking about boot menu. i am talking baout the hardware settings menu [07:26] 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] 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 [07:30] Here's what it says: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12116612/ [07:32] It says "500GB", which I think is how much memory it has. [07:36] Guest12422: if your hard drive is a 500gb drive made by HGST, then it looks connected to me :) [07:37] 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'. Please free at least an additional 24.2 M of disk space on '/boot'. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'. I have few files... [07:37] ...in \boot and grub folder ...how can I decide what to delete [07:37] notdaniel: Oh good! :D Then what. [07:37] Guest12422: are you trying to make it boot again, or just get data off it or what? [07:37] i'm trying to get the data [07:37] Guest12422: run 'parted -l' on it and see what it things it's got on it [07:38] hi anyone just anyone i need help [07:38] guys ?

[11:00] 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] Guest12422: install "pastebinit" and "smartmontools" on your system then grab the .deb packages from /var/cache/apt/archives/ [11:00] I've already copied resolv.conf to the chroot [11:00] ok cool, so do an apt-get update and upgrade [11:02] NTQ: then an update-initramfs -k all [11:02] daftykins what's the html? [11:02] Hi [11:02] Guest12422: what html? [11:02] only linux-libc-dev can be upgraded [11:02] Guest12422: you're extremely vague. [11:02] albert88nt: i'm sure it'll be fine [11:03] NTQ: being a dev package thats probably not gonna help [11:03] @daftykins thank you and have a nice day [11:04] Im looking for a tool to make system snapshot. Can you give me some advice ? [11:04] clonezilla perhaps could image up the whole machine [11:04] daftykins whoops i forgot to tell you that my desktop is running windows 8 [11:04] Guest12422: oh. that makes a bit more sense :P [11:05] heh [11:05] 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] sounds like that system is just hosed though [11:05] personally i'd disconnect the hard disk from it and see if the live session behaves normally [11:05] daftykins so i still use my laptop instead of my desktop? [11:06] you have multiple choices [11:06] try any you feel like [11:06] schlerp: update-initramfs -c -k all? [11:07] NTQ yeah [11:08] update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0.{41,45,62}-generic [11:08] schlerp: No errors === NTQ is now known as NTQ_afk [11:08] NTQ: ok, and you've already done this a few times ay? [11:09] 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 === innocent95 is now known as Bendr === NTQ_afk is now known as NTQ [11:11] NTQ: try reboot now and hold shift when your computer starts up to catch the grub menu [11:11] schlerp: I did this a few times. But not after boot-repair [11:11] schlerp: reboot now [11:11] NTQ: some machiones you need to rapidly hit Shift [11:12] actually if you havent rebooted yet you could ry dpkg --reconfigure grub2 aswell [11:12] schlerp: I'm in grub [11:12] try boot your oldest kernel [11:13] the one it installed with if its still there [11:13] schlerp: That kernel is no more there [11:13] It was 3.16.0-30. Now the oldest is 3.16.0-41 [11:13] NTQ: i guess try the oldest on first and see if it still drops to initramfs [11:13] schlerp: recovery mode or normal? [11:14] recovery [11:14] daftykins wait turns out there's "postfix configuration" on my laptop [11:14] NTQ: im not really sure it matters, if its still broken we will prbably end up at an initramfs anyway :P [11:14] "Switched to clocksource tsc" and waiting... [11:15] schlerp: "random: lvm urandom read with 2 bits of entropy available" [11:15] daftykins it says "Please select the mail server configuration type that best meets your needs" [11:15] "GAve up waiting for root device [11:15] Guest12422: weird. local delivery should be fine if listed [11:15] schlerp: (initramfs) _ ;) [11:16] daftykins: what do you mean? [11:16] schlerp: No /dev/sd* available [11:17] Guest12422: well does it have choices or not? or must i guess? i'll buy a vowel to start with... [11:18] NTQ: ok, either boot back into live so we can read dmesg or use sed -n "start,Stop" /file [11:18] NTQ: start and stop are line numbers and /file should be /var/log/dmesg [11:19] schlerp: in initramfs there is no /var/log/dmesg. But i can pipe dmesg through sed [11:19] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12117552/ [11:20] very good point haha, yeah pipe it in [11:20] Guest12422_: hit no config then [11:20] Guest12422_: this is all a live session so really none of this matters [11:20] and local delivery WAS listed =| [11:21] schlerp: It's not working. it seems that this 'sed' is an very small version of the 'sed' [11:21] NTQ: have you seen this question? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1576140 === dreamon__ is now known as dreamon [11:21] damn, yeah i hadnt piped to sed in busybox (i normally use it in android, not initramfs) [11:22] daftykins: it's not clickable unfortunately :/ [11:22] there is also no screen :( [11:22] schlerp: But we can still grep through dmesg ^^ === badbodh is now known as Guest26106 [11:23] Guest12422_: well pick something === Guest26106 is now known as badbodh_1 [11:23] NTQ: yeah haha [11:24] daftykins I can't click anything [11:24] daftykins ok nvm [11:26] yeah, not a mouse interface ;) [11:26] daftykins oh man i feel so embarrassed :/ [11:26] NTQ can you put a usb in and pipe dmesg to that then boot back to the live system and read it there? [11:29] schlerp: interesting idea [11:29] daftykins OK here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12117589/ [11:29] NTQ: may be a little less painful, im pertty sure we arent going to get any firsther in initramfs because it cant even see the drive [11:30] *further [11:30] Guest12422_: i dreamed this day would come! [11:30] daftykins So what do you think? [11:30] Guest12422_: oh wow that disk is totally trashed [11:30] 7,248 reallocated sectors... 1631 reallocated event count, 176 pending [11:30] :S [11:30] yeah shes not looking too flash, but it reckons it "passed" lol [11:31] daftykins can you explain the details? like what caused it and such? [11:31] not really no, possibly the heads touched the platter surface and started scraping it up [11:31] hi [11:31] daftykins oh crap now what [11:32] basically if you want any data from it, it's probably already too late. [11:32] it also says its over heated [11:32] daftykins can I still use photorec? [11:32] nope if you care for anything on that, take itto a professional data recovery company now [11:32] and i mean now, turn it off and don't try to use it again [11:32] ok === neopsyche_ is now known as neopsyche [11:33] daftykins well i guess i'd better buy a hard disk tomorrow to backup future data, right? [11:34] 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] 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] might be a good time to check out SSDs :) [11:35] SSDs? [11:35] Guest12422: Solid State Drives [11:35] Guest12422: also, always back up to DVDs... [11:36] DVD? oh dear Tux no [11:36] Guest12422: nevermind, ##hardware can help you there ;) [11:36] daftykins: why not? dvds don't crash [11:36] lol. [11:36] I can just use hard disks? [11:37] you might want to look into retention of optical media [11:37] the above channel can help you pick a new one [11:38] daftykins too bad they don't provide ones available in Indonesian stores... i suppose? [11:38] wat [11:38] 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 [11:38] schlerp: how could I mount the usb stick? :D [11:38] i don't quite follow you on what relevance Indonesian stores might have? :) [11:39] ls /dev | grep sd [11:39] to find the usb drives letter [11:39] schlerp: it's empty [11:39] maybe a mdev problem?

I don't want to have the same problem after the next reboot. [12:04] quit [12:04] daftykins: At the moment I think the problem is udev or mdev. [12:05] not much point telling me i'm afraid.

[12:32] Kartagis: which card? [12:33] daftykins: nvidia 8xxx something === neopsyche_ is now known as neopsyche [12:33] Hello. Im trying to access my mac using vnc client Remmina. It seems to connect fine, password correct and a big screen appears and quickly disappears again(so fast I can't identify it.) Then nothing else happens. Any idea of what may be wrong? [12:33] daftykins: 8400 [12:33] oh wow, quite old school then [12:34] i don't think it'd change much but it wouldn't hurt to try nvidia-304 perhaps [12:34] Bern_: run it in the terminal so you can see what the error is === innocent95 is now known as Bendr [12:36] daftykins: what is the difference between 304 and 340? both are listed here [12:36] an update a few days back has rendered my box unusable, it will fail some drivers failing and won't boot. The furthest I got to was a desktop message saying something like there was problems, but I didn't have any input devices working. [12:36] I'm in on a livecd now, can someone help me fix this? [12:36] daftykins: Do you think I could boot again with SuperGrubDisk? [12:36] Kartagis: a bigger number = newer [12:37] okay [12:37] NTQ: if i had any input of any use for your situation i'd be helping [12:38] daftykins not really sure how to do so. [12:39] 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] 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] or maybe remmina even has a log window [12:39] do i have to reinstall the driver for the new kernel? [12:40] 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] 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=,passwd='',iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0' [12:41] seems no flooding of messages are appearing. [12:42] Jeeves_Moss: it's not passwd, it's password= [12:42] daftykins, I've tired both [12:43] Jeeves_Moss: but "dmesg | tail" on a mount test would tell you what's wrong [12:43] daftykins, I can mount it manually [12:43] Bern_ seems you have to 'Set Color depth to High color (15 bit) or better, otherwise connection will fail' https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppleRemoteDesktop (i don't have a Mac :( ) [12:43] that doesn't prove anything [12:44] daftykins, how do I tail a fstab mount? [12:44] im running ubuntu 14.04. no external gfx card atm as it fried so running off onboard HD5000. when I fullscreen any web video (flash / html5) all my 4 cores almost hit 100% usage. fine with VLC and other media players. how do I fix this? [12:44] ioria thanks! That got it sorted. [12:44] good [12:45] Jeeves_Moss: test it with "sudo mount -a" then "dmesg | tail" to see what it fails on [12:45] Jeeves_Moss: oh and it shouldn't be "0 0" but more like "0 2" [12:46] 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] daftykins, thanks. one sec [12:47] 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] daftykins, thanks. I figured it out. I had escaped the password because it has a ! in it [12:48] Jeeves_Moss: ah. the conventional approach is to declare a credentials file, stored in /root/.smbpass and set that to 400 permissions [12:49] daftykins, yes, that's next on my list. this box only has admin access anyways.

[13:37] -ish, you have to configure mit-krb5 and sssd, neither is terribly hard [13:38] then you take the machine into ad with the command linked in the kinit article listed at the bottom -> done [13:38] s/kinit/msktutil/ [13:38] hmm ... well when we are talking a handful of machines ... no ... but 20 - 40 systems? :) [13:38] 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 [13:39] so?

But feel free to try both :) [13:41] I am speaking of PBIS [13:41] ;) [13:42] that looks like a third party, non supported, non open solution [13:42] feel free to try it *shrug* [13:43] it's in the Ubuntu Server Guide https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/samba-ad-integration.html [13:43] the link directs right to it === Tsunami1 is now known as Guest6851 [13:44] that's what made me think it was the tried-and-proven way to do it [13:45] hello all [13:45] where's the crontab log ? its not in /var/log ?

After the latest software update, when I watch anything fullscreen, coming out of fullscreen locks my desktop - no mouse, no screen updates, no keyboard. The only way to regain control is to forcably poweroff the machine (or I guess I could use another machine and SSH in, but still) === neopsyche_ is now known as neopsyche [14:38] phix: you don't compare a WM with a DE.

[14:42] mhnmcgk: Unfortunately, It doesn't tell how to troubleshoot my case. [14:42] did you restarted the display manager ? [14:43] So, no one got a clue? [14:43] someone replied to you [14:43] Hmm? I got disconnected, missed that I guess [14:44] and you copied bspwm-session to /usr/bin ? and bspwm.desktop to /usr/share/xsessions/ ? [14:46] krux: I don't have a bspwm-session file in the contrib [14:46] and krux: I copied the .desktop [14:47] oi [14:47] hello [14:47] ola [14:47] something you missed then bspwm-session is the binary that stars the wm.

[15:42] Daftykins Not manually [15:43] I think I moved xorg.Conf to force auto regen [15:43] you shouldn't really need one at all [15:43] I just DC'd.

[15:44] Daftykins Should I just reinstall fglrx? [15:45] Dasdre: would you have installed from package, or official repos? [15:45] er package being manual download from AMD [15:45] Official repos [15:45] mmm well it finds fglrx ok, but fails to find fglrxdrm - though i suspect that might be optional [15:46] wouldn't hurt to purge the lot and try again [15:46] Apt-get Remove fglrx and apt get install flgrx [15:46] no, purge [15:46] 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] Bern_: no you're being way too paranoid about SSD writes, all software should live on SSD. [15:46] and you don't :) [15:48] Bern_ It might be easier to force OK to ssd [15:48] nope tryed new user still no sound [15:48] l1n3x: well that's the only thought i had [15:49] unless it's as simple as volume from pavucontrol / alsamixer [15:49] should i run sudo apt-get install alsamixer?

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] MonkeyDust: it says the frequency should be between 1.20 and 2.21 but it goes higher [16:17] snowkidind: I thnk it's mysqlbackup/msanzo_$(date +\%m+\%d+\%Y).sql [16:18] snowkidind: the guys in #bash may be able to advise [16:18] that did it [16:18] thas a bunch [16:18] qkdt odd, but my tip still holds: install indicator-cpufreq [16:18] but i still wonder about why tick marks look different sometimes [16:19] MonkeyDust: oki i will give it a try [16:19] snowkidind: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/unix-linux-appleosx-bsd-shell-appending-date-to-filename/ [16:19] snowkidind: it looks like single quotes on the line that you pasted, not backticks [16:19] or that way [16:19] yea whats up with the backticks [16:20] what does that tell shell to do? encase a command? [16:20] i guess?

[16:21] hmm, interesting approach ActionParsnip, i could try that [16:21] SCHAAP137: seems to be in ~/.mateconf/apps/panel/* [16:22] ActionParsnip: permanently [16:22] SCHAAP137: not something I use, but worth a play. Just make backup copies of files before you edit them# [16:22] oh i get it after reading it is pretty much a like a macro [16:22] brb [16:22] 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] TheEagerPadawan sudo -e /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base ... nameserver x.x.x.x ... save ... sudo resolvconf -u ... done! [16:22] 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 :) [16:23] TheEagerPadawan: eg: echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee -a /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head > /dev/null [16:26] 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 [16:27] whatsup === retro is now known as Guest81870 [16:28] hey [16:28] whatsup people [16:28] po lypshi ropt me jav qi [16:29] besomni [16:29] po folni tkarit [16:29] Guest81870 what's you're language? find a channel accordingly [16:29] gone [16:30] does anyone know how to install powerpoint viewer?

[16:54] Dasdre: The top menu is just transparent. I can post a picture. [16:54] ActionParsnip: one more thing which is better flavour in term of devlopment gnome or kbuntu or xbuntu [16:54] Dasdre_, have you tired to remove your drivers ? [16:54] http://i.imgur.com/xif7qqa.jpg this might be related to my issue [16:54] *tried [16:54] Gonna remove fglrx real quick [16:55] guys [16:55] what happen with flash on ubuntu [16:55] the last upgrade [16:55] dev-code: explain [16:55] Why do you want flash? [16:55] to see movies on internet [16:56] for e.j [16:56] dev-code: what is the actually problem? [16:56] Vlx [16:56] flash in firefox has been pretty terrible for a while, install chromium/chrome and pepperflash if you want a better experience [16:56] *vlc [16:57] daftykins: Dasdre: http://picpaste.com/df-T8GNCfQg.png [16:57] 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] daftykins: By graphic I mean appearance. [16:57] dev-code: using what Browser/version? [16:57] mojtaba: so the way it's green? [16:58] Opera, Chromium, Firefox Developer edition Konqueror [16:58] daftykins: no. The top menu is transparent and folder icons are like the one in kde. [16:58] It works when I uninstall fglrx, but no cursor [16:58] daftykins: I do not know why this happened?! [16:58] ah yeah, funky. [16:58] i need some recording software for ubuntu to make video tutorials [16:58] Mojtaba what about right click - > panel settings? [16:58] mojtaba: and this persists across reboots etc? [16:59] which is best one? [16:59] daftykins: yes [16:59] Dasdre: How can I check that? [16:59] demonlove, RecordMyDesktop from Store [16:59] TJ? [16:59] TJ-, ? [16:59] Dasdre: You mean when I right click on the desktop? (yes the right click panel has also changed [17:00] Mojtaba right click on the panel, panel settings, and then transparency [17:00] Or color [17:00] dev-code but i think that is ppa [17:00] installing ppa isn't right i think [17:00] isn't? [17:00] Dasdre: Where is the panel? [17:01] No mouse /keyboard support now when I disable fglrx [17:01] On top [17:01] demonlove: in some case yes [17:01] The green transparent thing with the icons [17:01] daftykins: right click does not work there [17:01] tab complete fail :> [17:01] Dasdre: It is unity [17:02] Oh. It might have loaded gnome fallback [17:02] 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] kadiro: how to know which are some good cases don't say experience.,. [17:02] Dasdre: I just followed this: http://zecheru.com/thinkpad-fingerprint-ubuntu-14-04/ [17:02] Dasdre: and then this mess happened [17:03] dev-code: The changelog says new upstream release New upstream release 11.2.202.508 on 10th August [17:03] demonlove: when we can't find a package from softwere manager then yes we must try some ppa's [17:03] Dasdre_, maybe it's not completely purged .... [17:04] 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] ioria why is my mouse dead? [17:04] 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? [17:05] It gets power but won't send stuff [17:05] Back light works [17:05] demonlove, look at the ubuntu-studio package list https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Applications [17:05] 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] Dasdre: sure you don't have a TV plugged in? :D [17:06] the desktop could be over there all along [17:06] 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] TJ-: I removed it too, but still I have the problem :( [17:06] and what is actully ppa means can i assume it as third party software [17:06] mojtaba: Hmmm... did you follow the instructions about replacing policykit? [17:06] yes demonlove [17:06] Dasdre_, and back up an eventually xorg.conf [17:06] TJ-: yes === Len__ is now known as Len [17:07] PPA - Personal Package Archive [17:08] how is plugin diff from ppa? [17:08] mojtaba: I'm not sure then. Maybe read back through "/var/log/apt/history.log" to find out if any packages were removed/replaced at the time the FPR GUI was installed... and ensure they're installed now if os [17:08] !ppa | demonlove [17:08] demonlove: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[17:18] nrdb: how do you mean remotely? [17:18] !alis | kadiro [17:18] kadiro: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" . For more help or questions relating to alis, please join #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [17:18] no just one #gentoo-vdr [17:18] nrdb: do yo mean from outside your LAN? [17:19] kadiro: then there is none [17:19] Omg === klaas_ is now known as klaas [17:19] kadiro: you could ask here instead [17:20] ubuntu have no channel for vdr it's odd [17:20] i have a question about how adding bis to an encrypted channel [17:22] I asked here many time but no chance [17:22] If I upgrade to 15.04 will it restore the theme to the default Unity one? [17:25] kadiro, never seen your question before, but what do you want with "how adding bis to an encrypted channel" ? [17:25] nrdb: how do you mean remotely? [17:26] mojtaba: is the guest account or another user working correctly? [17:27] k1l_: I should test that one [17:27] OerHeks: thank's for response, i have one encrypted channel ( in my country ) and i would to decrypt it from vdr, i can do that from windows, but i need from ubuntu because i don't use windows just if i should to do [17:28] kadiro, then you have one chance: chrome browser ( with buildin DRM stuff) [17:29] ActionParsnip, I have a VPN to a remote computer, I am using this to test the external (i.e. via internet) login. When I test from the local LAN it works great, but not from the external I.P. [17:29] OerHeks: DRM, what that means? [17:30] = encrypted [17:30] nrdb: why not port forward TCP/22 to the system running the SSH server? Then you can connect to WAN.IP.goes.here port 22 [17:30] OerHeks: from my sattelite card ? [17:30] k1l_: Guess session works fine [17:30] nrdb: did you check routing is pushing the traffic for your LAN down the VPN? [17:31] 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] k1l_: Do you know what should I do? [17:31] 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) [17:32] 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] kadordo only chrome can play *some* DRM channels such as netflix, do some research, ubuntu + your country + that bis channel [17:32] mojtaba: what was the issue again? a bad theme? [17:33] 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] nrdb: something like 10.0.0.0/24 is fine too [17:33] OerHeks: you means read from internet? [17:34] 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] streaming [17:34] k1l_: I just installed finger reader software, and just messed up with the default theme of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS [17:34] 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! [17:35] kadiro, yes, is this so hard to understand? [17:36] mojtaba: if that didnt work try reinstalling the libgtk-3-common package [17:36] 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 [17:37] 3 minutes waiting for 10 or more [17:37] Any reason why my uBuntu freeze while I am using firefox, or when I am in my bank acccount [17:37] mojtaba: i am away now. if this doesnt help please ask again with describing the issue so others can jump in. [17:38] Hi Sheldon. R u there? === matthew is now known as Guest67262 [17:39] any one have any information to seeing encrypted ( bis only ) from vdr? [17:40] pigeon-, mine doesn't [17:41] OerHeks: thk's anyway for trying to helpe me [17:45] 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? [17:50] 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) [17:51] how can i be sure that this really contains my gpt? [17:52] try running gparted on the image file [17:54] genii: gparted /root/myparttable gives me 'end of file while reading No such file or directory' [17:54] Bah. [17:55] winsux1: What says result of: file /root/myparttable ..? [17:55] genii: /root/myparttable: x86 boot sector [17:57] genii: the file does have a mbr boot signature at 0x1fe [17:57] I think gparted work only in device and not in files [17:58] 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 [17:59] thank you genii that help me [17:59] 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 === linx is now known as asdasd === asdasd is now known as sdsdsdsdsd === sdsdsdsdsd is now known as linx === vivek is now known as Guest5969 [18:00] winsux1: Unfortunately i don't know wenough about GPT for this. If it was a regular MBR would be easy === Guest5969 is now known as aadha [18:00] ok thanks nrdb [18:00] guys how can i change the color :D [18:00] where stevo_ ? [18:00] on the GUI [18:00] of smuxi [18:01] :D [18:01] genii: yeah, mbr is easier. do you know if there is a tool that can export/import gpt? [18:02] winsux1: "sgdisk --backup=/path/to/file /dev/sdX" - see "man sgdisk" [18:02] http://askubuntu.com/questions/57908/how-can-i-quickly-copy-a-gpt-partition-scheme-from-one-hard-drive-to-another [18:02] genii: thanks. i'm going to take a look at sgdisk then [18:03] Hi all, I'm getting a Hash Sum mismatch on the Translation-en files when doing an apt-get update [18:03] winsux1: good to heard this information [18:04] ioria: thanks for the link. sgdisk seems to do what i want [18:04] But looking at the sha1 sum in the index file it matches the sha1 of the file itself [18:04] "W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/i18n/Translation-en Hash Sum mismatch" [18:04] winsux1, good luck [18:05] uberamd: Possibly caused because the archive mirror is/was in the process of sync-ing with the master [18:06] 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] just updated and now i can't login, even though i had auto-login enabled [18:06] uberamd: Was that after "apt-get update" too? [18:06] TJ-: the apt-get update is what causes it [18:06] uberamd, it happened to me... after a couple, it disappeared [18:06] ioria: ah gotcha thanks all [18:07] 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] 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. [18:09] 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] hi guys.. i am trying to match the cpu utilization statistics as found in /proc//stat and /proc/stat.. But the utilization values dont match. I dont know what i am doing wrong. === Eggs is now known as Guest96923 [18:10] cltr+alt+FN isn't bringing up a terminal [18:10] any one know a channel about vdr? please !! [18:10] uberamd: so the local cached lists then, genii's suggestion should clear it [18:11] 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] TJ-: not sure if it's caching something elsewhere, but if it is then I have no idea where it's hiding stuff [18:12] postmodern: Did you boot into recovery mode? If so there's only one console [18:12] 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] TJ-: Good call, I'll check! [18:14] 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] genii, how do i get to recovery mode if i have the grub boot menu disabled [18:15] Hi, Is there any ways I can verify the proper functionning of my ubuntu? it's freezing on me some times? [18:15] genii, holding down the shift key does nothing during boot [18:16] postmodern: If left alone does it boot into Ubuntu normally, or dump you to a grub prompt, or something else? [18:17] genii, it boots to the lightdm login screen, but can't login [18:17] i have a NAS that i want to mount and copy backup files to. My question is: the drive is asleep when the server begins to the copy action, how do i ensure that the cronjob will work? [18:17] postmodern, ctrl-alt-f2 ? [18:18] hi Jean-Guy.... I have the same question, [18:18] how do I control premissions on a windows share from a linux mount? [18:18] 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 [18:19] jean-guy, pigeon- your problem is related may be on graphic card, i hop someone can help you [18:19] genii, ctrl-alt-FN just brings me to a blank screen, no login prompt [18:20] 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] genii, it's F1 [18:20] tanks Kadiro... much appreaciate, I will check my graphic card [18:20] you welcome pigeon- [18:20] genii, i used to run gentoo, i'm not that clueless ;) [18:21] postmodern: Try F2 instead [18:21] genii, same effect [18:21] 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] postmodern: Try hitting enter a couple times in one of those [18:21] genii, already tried that, no go [18:21] work, afk [18:22] postmodern: Do you have openssh-server installed, and do you have another PC you can remotely log-in from? [18:22] TJ-, what if grub won't appear and you don't have sshd running? [18:22] Thanks Kadiro, do you know if is there's a way for testing or if we discard? Many thanks again. [18:22] postmodern, how did you manage to block grubmenu?? [18:22] postmodern: If you've disabled GRUB's 'shift' key show-boot-manager option then it's Live-ISO boot/recovery time :) [18:23] TJ-, shift does nothing [18:23] TJ-, ok was hoping to avoid using a livecd [18:23] TJ-, thanks! [18:23] postmodern, you have to try few times with shift ... or esc [18:23] postmodern try press ESC many times on bootin [18:24] jean-guy: I'm not an expert, but i think you can install a driver from software manager if you know yours [18:24] 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 [18:25] TJ v2 works with ESC too [18:25] postmodern: is the keyboard USB, or built-in, or PS/2 style? [18:26] you have a good idea Kadiro... I will also check the drivers for my video card... [18:26] Hudsonkem, ah ha, that worked! [18:26] what happend to fglrx the other day? ubuntu 15.04 refuse to boot with fglrx installed "running in low-graphics mode" [18:26] :) [18:26] test [18:27] 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 [18:28] postmodern: Now you can prevent the GUI starting... as well as "nomodeset" add "text" to do a VT console-only start [18:28] postmodern: if that gives you a working terminal, you can start to work on the issues [18:29] postmodern: which ubuntu release is it? [18:29] postmodern tried click on screen sometimes? === corey84__ is now known as Corey84 [18:31] ok finally found recovery mode (under Advanced Boot options) [18:32] how well today does Ubuntu / GNU/Linux handle 4K monitors/scaling? [18:32] postmodern, choose network if you want rw mode [18:34] spacebug^ that's a very general question, start here https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ubuntu+4k+monitor&t=canonical [18:34] ah yes, got a segfault from fglx [18:38] My /boot is full. How do i clean it without fucking everything up [18:38] It seems like it fucks with my system [18:38] postmodern, resolution error may do it too.(blank screen) [18:39] df -H ? [18:39] ioria, Is that to me+ [18:39] lrs_ by not using the f word === laptop is now known as Guest67174 [18:39] lrs_ yep [18:40] *smeg [18:40] lrs_ full how? partition /boot full is it? [18:40] Yeah it has 4 mb left [18:40] with kernels [18:40] And it seems to give me problems when i install stuff [18:40] lrs_ how many kernels do you have ? [18:41] How many? Do you mean kernels that I can fall back on? [18:41] I thought you only could have one kernel [18:41] lrs_ ls /boot [18:42] lrs_ no, if you don't rum apt-get autoremove you can have a lot [18:42] ioria, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12119853/ [18:42] lrs_ you got 7 [18:42] Which one? the abi ones?

[18:45] I am running kde 4.8.5 on Ubuntu 12.0.4.5 and I am having problems with skype picking up my speakers and microphone, can anyone provide some guidance or help me work out what the issue is? I have very little experience with linux [18:45] lrs_ i do that... but i don't know if you have specifi issues [18:45] *c [18:46] It says 363 mb will be freed [18:46] Im gonna try [18:46] lrs_ like some exotic hardware that will work only on a specific kernel ... are you ? [18:47] Well, this whole thing started with me not being able to run optirun steam [18:47] So its a primus nvidia driver [18:47] So i figured, maybe theres something wrong so i did sudo apt get update [18:47] if he is running with -58 so maybe its fine. [18:47] And then it give me out of free space gzip something [18:48] I'm having some trouble performing a `dist-upgrade`. I don't seem to have a var/log/messages to tail.

I need to install this stuff in x right? Argh. [19:00] i want to completely remove a windows 8.1 installation with gparted and leave the second OS (i.e. xubuntu 14.04) intact. what windows partitions are safe to remove so the other OS stills works? [19:00] d4rklit3 and swap? do u have right? [19:00] 67108864, that 67mb ? [19:00] its bytes right [19:01] winsux1: if you don't touch the mbr yes if not you can recreate it from live system [19:01] out of HDD memory Hudsonkem [19:01] kadiro: i backup'd all my important data and i booted from a live usb, gparted tells me windows uses 9 out of 12 partitions [19:02] d4rklit3 is it all swap size or usage? [19:02] Hi guys i am running Ubuntu as guest in vbox and i wanted to share the connection from guest to host [19:02] how i can do that correctly [19:02] kadiro: the first 5 partitions used by windows are winre_drv, system_drv, lrs_esp, unknown and the main OS partition. is it safe to remove the first partitions or does this mess up the uefi booting process? [19:02] how do i tell [19:03] POQDavid: I am not 100% sure but from what I can remember there is a vbox guest additions package to install? [19:04] kadiro: the last partitions are hidden and recovery partitions, but i don't need those anymore so i guess it is safe to remove them [19:04] winsux1: no idea but in generally we can recreate mbr so ubuntu can boot, for others partitions i have no idea [19:04] AEL-H1: yes i got that [19:04] kadiro: if i remove those partitions and run grubcfg again then everything should be ok right? [19:04] POQDavid: what exactly is it you are trying to share?

[19:17] winsux1: really i don't know, but to be safe keep it [19:18] bekks: well this looks really nice [19:18] bekks: i will set it up :) [19:18] and thanks guys [19:18] POQDavid: Good :) [19:18] have a good day everyone [19:18] thk's POQDavid to you also [19:18] tc :) [19:19] P0QDavid: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html [19:19] kadiro: yeah, i don't want to make the system unbootable. thanks for your help, i have removed almost all partitions. i'm going to update grub and see if everything keeps worknig [19:20] locoloco: the vbox manual will not setup a ubuntu router in a guest vm ;) [19:20] winsux1: it must work in my little few information [19:21] brb, i will be back, time to eat something [19:21] bekks: missed the router part, thought he was looking for host-to-host networking === Kirara is now known as Kirara|Phone [19:23] how do i get my wacom digitizer up and running [19:24] kadiro: looks like it worked perfectly, only windows is still shown in grub. i removed windows with sudo efibootmgr -b 5 - [19:24] kadiro: B where 5 is the windows entry [19:24] lol winsux [19:25] I am running kde 4.8.5 on Ubuntu 12.0.4.5 and I am having problems with skype picking up my speakers and microphone, can anyone provide some guidance or help me work out what the issue is?

When in network settings it seems to do nothing to the wifi switch but for some reason it turns airplane mode on(not off only on I can turn it off only manually with my cursor) [19:44] i had to reboot for update [19:44] bekks: no [19:45] bekks: but its the only active connection after eth0 [19:45] 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] JayTeeZee, You can man wacom I have not followed your issue however. [19:45] POQDavid: PPP is your dialup connection then.

As I read, have you gone into the PC's BIOS/firmware setup and checked for any options that enable/disable wireless functions? [19:49] right lower corner, where the icons are, a speaker maybe??

I am running kubuntu through crouton on a chomebook.. bare with I am going to take a picture with my phone :P [19:54] TJ-: There is no setting regarding the wireless in the bios, the only options regarding the network are to turn it on during the booting stage(which I have and no change) regarding the boot order (which i have changed to put the network first ) still nothing changed. The weird thing is that from time to time the wireless turns randomly on for 1-5 seconds and IF I have the time to insert the password for the wifi adress I can even connect to pages(For the remai [19:54] ning server untill it turns off again) [19:54] for the remaining second * [19:55] Dyjoe: OK, well neither of the manuals give any idea of the BIOS Setup options so I'm blind. When you use the F12 key to try and toggle WiFi, do you press the FN+F12 keys, or just F12 ? === laptop is now known as Guest23348 [19:56] kadiro: yes, grub does not show windows anymore [19:56] kadiro: gparted does not list any windows partitions anymore. thanks for your help :) [19:56] TJ-: Well on windows I used to FN+F12 but on ubuntu it's just F12(or so I assume since all FN commands now work with simple F without the FN part but I have tried both ways) [19:56] Dyjoe: does the text in Chapter 3, page 14, of the User Manual match what you experience? [19:57] Dyjoe: specifically, it says the wireless LED should be white at boot-time ... is it? does it change to orange later? [19:57] cool winsux1 you welcome :) [19:58] Dyjoe: If the PC still has Windows on and bootable, have you tried booting into Windows, ensuring Wifi is enabled and connecting, and then doing a 'restart' into Ubuntu? [20:00] still no pen input? Why does setting up linux have to be so difficult?

Can you do "lspci -nn" and tell me the line that shows the wifi device? [20:03] Dyjoe: Yes, I expected that.

I may have found a sneaky workaround. It is 100% worth trying. Disconnect any and all external devices (USB. media cards, etc.) disconnect the AC charger. *remove* the battery. Press the power button *for at least 60 seconds* to drain any remaining charge from capacitors. Reconnect the AC charger (*not* the battery), power up and check if the WiFi light is white or not. If so, power down, reconnect battery, and boot Linux [20:07] hello [20:07] hi leonic [20:07] how do i make firefox use ronome flash [20:08] Dyjoe: this is called doing a Hard Reset [20:08] how does on setup wacom?

[20:08] JayTeeZee: may be this can help you: http://libregraphicsworld.org/blog/entry/wacom-intuos-pen-touch-tablets-on-linux [20:09] Dyjoe: hopefully not - that is the power for the BIOS's CMOS RAM where the settings are stored [20:09] brb in few minutes [20:10] will it help me configure if the digitizer is built into computer? [20:10] Dyjoe: what we are doing here is actually preventing the 5 volt standby power being provided to the WiFi hardware so it hard resets. [20:10] TJ-: I will try to do that and return after [20:10] Dyjoe: great, I'd like to hear how you got on [20:10] AEL-H1, that is strange, no sound at all ? might be a crouton issue, no experience with that, ask the channel again.

Let me provide some more information [20:17] re [20:18] TJ-:The wifi used to turn on automatically when i had just windows (it used to turn on since booting not from when I entered windows), the wifi cards works ( i tried it on my roommate's laptop who has the same model and runs a version of linux ,not sure which 1 . His is orange but then turns it on when he logs in linux) [20:18] JayTeeZee: is a serial wacom device ? [20:19] it is a wacom digitizer built into a tablet [20:19] Dyjoe: that's disappointing. It does sound as if your PC has a BIOS setting that has disabled it. Maybe that setting is only accessible from Windows. [20:19] it uses the exact same panel as the surface pro 2 [20:20] http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-8-rt/general/cube-i7-stylus-t3151563 [20:21] Dyjoe: the PCI ID of that device shows the kernel driver is rt2800pci which has no specific control itself for the radio, so the interface to the radio kill switch must be elsewhere [20:22] hi, i see today linux kernel 3.19.0.26-generic is causing conflict with fgrlx [20:23] JayTeeZee: sorry i'm a newbie, i found this for you, try to look on it: http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/wacom_bamboo_pen_and_touch_cth460 [20:24] TJ-: Could trying to remove the network card ,rebooting and then adding it back and rebooting again help in some way? I can't find any other settings in bios regarding the network === Lee1`- is now known as Lee1` [20:25] i am going to try rebooting without my keyboard connected [20:25] Dyjoe: the hard power down should be sufficient if that kind of fix was going to work; the fact it works in another PC tells us the device itself should be locked out [20:27] maybe i have to wait for another update [20:27] Can someone tell me who the package maintainers for Linux-HA stuff for ubuntu are? [20:27] is it possible to build a livecd from a vm ? [20:28] currently looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [20:29] 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 ? [20:30] Dyjoe: maybe not. I've found mention of that exact device and issue, and it could simply be a firmware/kernel version issue. [20:31] Dyjoe: what does "uname -r" and "lsb_release -r" report?

[20:42] Waraqa: may be [20:42] 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) [20:43] how do i change my nickname [20:44] Waraqa: I don't understand your question, i'm a newbie [20:44] Dyjoe: please check the system has the firmware file "/lib/firmware/rt3290.bin" [20:45] where does ubuntu usually install the bootloader? [20:46] Goddard: on the boot drive, and under /boot/grub/ [20:46] Goddard: can you describe what the issue is? [20:46] TJ-: it doesn't have its own partition? [20:46] what if Windows already existed? [20:46] would it install on the "SYSTEM" drive? [20:46] 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] Goddard: can you give more details so we dont need to guess and can answer with facts? [20:47] 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] Waraqa: ah i understand now [20:47] 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] kadiro: In order to save time when opening those images in the next time [20:47] k1l_: im trying to install over the old install [20:48] TJ-: it is UEFI Fat32 partition [20:48] TJ-: manually? If yes, then yes it is there if no , then I don't understand how [20:48] Goddard: ubuntu over an old ubuntu? [20:48] k1l_: no over arch [20:48] Goddard: any other OS installed? like windows dualboot etc? [20:48] Does somebody know if it is possible to build a livecd from a build on a vm? [20:48] Waraqa: I understand, you want an entire session to be saved, but i have no idea for that sorry man [20:49] k1l_: yes windows is installed [20:49] kadiro: thanks, I will try ask in superuser.com [20:49] np Waraqa [20:49] Goddard: ok, so ubuntu will install its bootloader (grub). and that will work recognise the windows too [20:50] 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] Greetings!! [20:50] k1l_: where does it install to by default in that situation? [20:50] grub will not erase mbr don't worry Goddard [20:51] I erased the ubuntu partitions and grub is still popping up [20:51] 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] Goddard: for bios/legacy devices i would have said MBR of the first disk and /boot/grub in that ubuntu partition [20:52] TJ-: I have received an error about lpsci : No command 'lpsci' found, did you mean: [20:52] Command 'lspci' from package 'pciutils' (main) [20:52] lpsci: command not found [20:52] TJ-: oh that sounds complicated [20:52] 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] ahh [20:52] Dyjoe:doh, my typo!

[20:55] 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)" === dearn_ is now known as dearn [20:59] TJ-:http://paste.ubuntu.com/12120654/ [21:01] Dyjoe: OK, there is no error about missing firmware so we assume it loaded.

Here is the make log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12120718/ . What could be happening?? [21:07] can anyone help me? [21:07] 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] downbeam: this is ubuntu support. why dont you use a linux pdf reader? [21:08] i have ubuntu [21:09] Dyjoe: that is progress. So pressing Fn+F12 once just disabled the radio. Does "rfkill list" show anything different now? [21:09] Dyjoe: I'm wondering if the toggle state has got inverted so off means on and on means off [21:09] TJ:- 2: phy0: Wireless LAN [21:09] Soft blocked: no [21:09] Hard blocked: yes [21:09] Dyjoe: it seems we have to ignore the LED state/colour since it may not reflect the true state of the radio. [21:10] TJ-: 2: phy0: Wireless LAN [21:10] Soft blocked: yes [21:10] Hard blocked: yes [21:10] after pressing it one more [21:10] Dyjoe: OK, so presumably if you press that key combo once again the radio turns on again? [21:10] downbeam: so why do you use a .exe? [21:10] ive tried every thing even that [21:11] anyone know about serviio streaming? [21:11] im having trouble installing it [21:12] TJ-: it seems the f12 only triggers the soft blocked on and off [21:12] Dyjoe: thanks, so we know what does what. [21:13] 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 [21:15] 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] 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 [21:16] 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. [21:19] 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) [21:20] 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] 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? [21:23] 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) [21:24] TJ-: the roommate-modem cause is also the reason why i'd like to keep working wireless on the laptop xd [21:24] Dyjoe: Try the 'suspend' trick listed as steps 1 2 3 4 [21:25] 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 [21:26] TJ-: I will try the 4 steps then report back with the results [21:26] Dyjoe: good luck ;) [21:28] hello [21:29] help froms argentina [21:29] one español for help!!

Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. [21:31] 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 ) [21:32] Dyjoe: does that strike you as a bug? We'd expect Fn+F12 to do a hard switch wouldn't we? [21:32] Dyjoe: which might point us to a bug in the hp-wmi kernel module that handles those keys [21:33] 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] 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 [21:34] does anyone recommend a book on chroot jail, linux security... on an ubuntu machine? [21:34] 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] Dyjoe: Yes, I read that and some others earlier [21:37] 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 ?

[21:43] it looks like i am going to have to install linux mint since nobody seems to know [21:44] JayTeeZee: that doesnt make a difference [21:44] Dyjoe: Yes, the modules there, and your dmesg.log showed it is being loaded. I've looked at the source code and all it does is send the RFKILL event to the kernel input system when the wireless key is pressed. That doesn't explain why it only appears to toggle the soft block.

[22:16] elc: russians [22:16] 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] 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 [22:17] bugzilla.kernel.org bug 69131 in Platform_x86 "hp_wmi cannot hard-unblock wifi on HP nx6325" [High,Assigned] [22:17] so....I can see that make differents L and l......ok...I got it....what u need to know from the output?

[22:27] I plan to do a clean install of 10 later, will Ihave to reinstall Ubuntu?

Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [22:30] i am getting a lot of frame dropping in videos [22:31] chrome, firefox, vlc, videos are not smooth [22:31] Anyone have a preference? What's the best IRC client? [22:31] hexchat [22:32] i7-860, 16gb DDR3 1600, MSI P55-GD65, HD 6870 1Gb [22:32] thanks geo [22:32] volatile240: ask 10 people and get 12 answers. what about you try the typical ones and see yourself :) [22:32] hexchat with znc server to protect yourself it's really awesome [22:34] how do I check what version of FGLRX i am running? [22:34] k1l, I am - just looking for other opinions! [22:35] hello guys [22:35] scott_11: "dpgk -l | grep fglrx" [22:35] geothom230 - thanks! [22:35] my ubuntu 14.04 LTS is going wierd [22:35] weird [22:35] I installed over a corrupted version of windows 10 [22:35] but it freezes right after startup [22:35] and it does not boot automatically to ubuntu upon startup [22:36] I need to boot to BIOS first and select GRUB [22:36] scott_11, what ati card? lspci | grep VGA [22:38] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Barts XT [Radeon HD 6870] [22:38] yingw787: You dont boot into BIOS, you access BIOS prior booting. [22:38] scott_11: "dpkg -l | grep fglrx" sorry had a typo === alan_ is now known as Guest33593 [22:39] bekks: when I start the computer otherwise the screen just turns black [22:39] yingw787: You access the BIOS prior grub is started. [22:40] 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] bekks: it's not doing that right now [22:40] yingw787: So set the boot order you are changing in BIOS persistantly. [22:41] thanks k1l_ [22:41] 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 [22:42] yingw787: Which doesnt matter since you have to set the boot order once, persistantly. [22:42] Dyjoe: are you still awake? [22:42] tj-:yes [22:44] 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 [22:45] is there a general opinion on the difference between fglrx and fglrx-updates? which should I choose? [22:46] hey, there's no need for something like vagrant if you're running an ubuntu distro from your local machine, is there? [22:46] 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] meaning I should just install webservers, languages, etc, directly to my workstation... or is it better to isolate this in a vagrant environment? [22:47] ash_m: for 'cleanliness' you might want to isolate those tools in chroot's or using containers (LXC/Docker) [22:48] 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] Dyjoe: no reboots! This Is Linux not Windows :) [22:49] 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: you should files dkms.conf hp-wmi.c Makefile and the directory patches/ [22:49] lsusb>enter [22:49] Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub [22:49] Bus 001 Device 003: ID 2232:1071 [22:49] Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0cf3:e300 Atheros Communications, Inc.

OK ... now you're going to try and build + install that kernel source code to create a replacement binary kernel module (device driver). See http://paste.ubuntu.com/12121139/ [22:54] Dyjoe: OK, can you "pastebinit <( tail -n 500 /var/log/syslog )" immediately? I want to see the log entries [22:57] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12121142/ ;"NOT FUCK" is the name of my network (blame my roommate not me it's cause I said fuck while he was installing the modem sry : | ) [22:57] Dyjoe: We'll let you off :) [22:57] Dyjoe: Give the DKMS build of hp-wmi a go - hopefully it won't error for you. [22:58] i have ubuntu 15.04 - how do I default gnome terminal to use xterm-256color instead of xterm?? [23:00] TJ-: I'm getting an error : sudo: dkms: command not found ; [23:00] Dyjoe: "NetworkManager[718]: WiFi now enabled by radio killswitch" ... "ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Info - Loading firmware file 'rt3290.bin'" ... "NetworkManager[718]: WiFi now disabled by radio killswitch" exactly 5 seconds on [23:01] k11 are u there? [23:01] Dyjoe: Ahh sorry, I always assume every system has dkms. "sudo apt-get install dkms" [23:01] roler, http://whiletruecode.tumblr.com/post/13358288098/enabling-256-color-mode-in-ubuntus-bash-terminal [23:02] mate|74463: you were asked several times to use a paste-service not flood in the irc. [23:03] mate|74463: i dont see a wifi hardware in your output. [23:03] what u mean....I use it on windows.... [23:04] TJ-:also an error http://paste.ubuntu.com/12121171/ [23:04] mate|74463, you were silenced, before we could read lspci. [23:05] mate|74463, use paste.ubuntu.com for multiple lines [23:05] sorry eveyone.... [23:05] r [23:05] Dyjoe: show me the build log: "pastebinit /var/lib/dkms/hp-wmi/1.01/build/make.log" [23:05] mate|74463: did you shut down the wifi with a hardware switch, or a shortkey fn+... on the keyboard? [23:05] yes.yes I tried [23:06] TJ-:http://paste.ubuntu.com/12121174/ [23:06] on windows....is everything working as usual... [23:07] 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] 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... [23:08] mate|74463: is there no chance you can put a lan cable into that laptop? [23:08] no [23:09] 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] may it will solve all....may the system need a several update....I know [23:09] Dyjoe: if that works... you won't need my DKMS code [23:09] amean...the Ubuntu need.... [23:10] hi guys i just downloaded the vm and i added a new user [23:10] i did adduser and logged into a new user account... now it says "command not found" [23:10] when i try to run nmap [23:10] mate|74463: the issue is: we need a lot more technical infos about your system and hardware. and like it took so long now and i am not sure we got the proper info we need i dont think this is a good way of support. [23:10] wireless went on nd off for a second i've pastebin'ed it if you think that is still necesarry [23:11] no commands are working in the new user [23:11] account [23:11] what version of kali kali-user [23:11] kali-user, added an user in Kali ? [23:11] Dyjoe: I think the bad key codes is causing that [23:11] Dyjoe: So, try the reboot with the alternate ACPI OSI and see how it goes [23:11] kali is single user, find help in the kali channel, as it is not supported here === jeff_ is now known as Guest4432 [23:11] TJ-:i'll do that just now [23:12] k11....I'll back soon.....with everything working properly.....I see u soon....tks a lot === Guest4432 is now known as IdontknowJack [23:15] yes i'm using kali [23:15] i just had to add a user to the sudoers file [23:15] gotta love linux [23:15] !kali | kali-user [23:15] kali-user: Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu itself, as other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [23:19] Tj-:Well the wifi is still stuck at no , but FN-F12 does not trigger airplane mode&soft block to go on anymore [23:20] stuck at off* [23:22] hi [23:22] Im trying to install lubuntu on my Thinkpad. it keeps giving me can not mount on //filesystem.squash [23:23] Ive been searching on google for somthing MD5 [23:23] Peyamm: how did you make the lubuntu usb? [23:24] 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] Dyjoe: then upload "/tmp/DSDT.bin" somewhere [23:24] sudo cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT | gzip > /tmp/DSDT.bin would be better [23:25] k1l_: using pen driver linux installer [23:25] Dyjoe: I've updated the DKMS source code to be based on the 3.19 kernel of 15.04 Vivid, so you can also re-download, extract, and try installing it [23:25] Eduard_Munteanu: yeah, I'm getting tired... but it'll work :) [23:25] Peyamm: that error sounds like it got a corrupted download or something on making the usb-system went wrong [23:26] Peyamm: what OS do you use right now? [23:26] Win 10 [23:26] k1l_: Win 10 [23:26] Dyjoe: downloading the DKMS source is : "wget https://iam.tj/projects/misc/hp-wmi.dkms.tar.gz" [23:26] k1l_: I donwload 15.04 twice and 14.04 once [23:26] Peyamm: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [23:26] * TJ- will be back... getting Coffee [23:28] hello [23:29] TJ-: not exactly sure where to upload it (without the whole creating an account process) , I have in megaup however idk if it's temporary just for me or if the files are available for everyone...anyway here is the link https://mega.nz/#fm/KtdzQJRS [23:29] n4mkrad, | !question [23:30] grr [23:30] hey guys [23:30] me again [23:30] so uh [23:30] when I'm rebooting my ubuntu 14.04 distro [23:30] it goes into a black screen [23:30] this doesn't happen when I shutdown and boot up again [23:30] I'm not sure why [23:30] any suggestions [23:30] dont reboot ;p [23:31] I am trying to convince my parents that Linux is way better than Windows [23:31] it is hard to do that when it doesn't reboot ;P [23:31] 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] TJ-:I'm also not sure where has ths downloaded the file and if I need to move it again or not [23:31] Dyjoe: wait one, I'll just try the mega link [23:32] yingw787_: make sure there isn't any "fast boot" thing set in your bios, as well [23:33] k1l_: the MD5 is the same [23:33] from the iso and the usb stick? [23:34] can you name the md5sum? [23:34] Dyjoe: No, mega doesn't show it to me, but I have a plan :) [23:36] is there a way to make audio output always default to 1) In sound settings, on output tab; play as "speakers - built in audio" and not HDMI / display port (built in audio? and 2) in pavucontrol "headphones unplugged" over "speakers"? thanks [23:36] from USB or the downloaded one [23:37] Dyjoe: I'm going to send you a pvt message [23:37] TJ-:i googled temporary upload got to this site so I uploaded it here , idk the quality of the site never used it before : http://expirebox.com/download/b2ac8f48bb52f2f818b38109bc07faf3.html [23:38] k1l_: how do I compare them? [23:38] Peyamm: can you please name the md5sum you got? [23:38] Dyjoe: You beat me to it! Forget the pvt msg now :) [23:39] k1l_: ef68089eb8ae2cfaf78cc89a01dfcb0e [23:39] Dyjoe: got the file, working in it now. [23:40] Dyjoe: For the DKMS source: "wget https://iam.tj/projects/misc/hp-wmi.dkms.tar.gz" then "sudo tar -C / -xzf hp-wmi.dkms.tar.gz" - you may have to confirm over-writing the previous code - then "sudo dkms install -m hp-wmi -v 1.01" [23:42] Peyamm: is it from the .iso or the usb? [23:42] TJ-:I've done that , the installation went swift, f12 key still does the same [23:42] k1l_: .iso I downloaded [23:43] Peyamm: so you made the md5sum check on windows of the .iso file and the usb? [23:43] 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] I dont know how to do it on a usb. Just did it on USB k1l_ [23:44] 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. [23:47] 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 [23:48] TJ-:yes it is in there [23:49] 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" === jeff__ is now known as IdontknowJack [23:51] umestroburmeumetmeainfirmitatem [23:51] 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] whoops [23:52] 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] How do I see my ubuntu version? [23:52] Caelum: "lsb_release -a" [23:53] ah thank you very much [23:53] TJ-: there are some changes i'll put them in a pastebin hardswitch is still on though [23:53] hi [23:53] sup [23:54] 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] Dyjoe: I expected it would be for now, since we disabled hotkey interpretation with that "!Windows 2012" :) [23:54] TJ-:http://paste.ubuntu.com/12121309/ [23:55] 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 [23:56] Dyjoe: Yay! you have the hp-wifi and hp-bluetooth devices now [23:56] 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] Dyjoe: OK ... let's try just rebooting without any special acpi_osi value... just reboot and see how we go [23:56] Dyjoe: I have a good feeling about this [23:57] My synaptics touchpad is not scrolling properly... I think this may be part of theproblem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12121315/ [23:58] Elimin8er: hi [23:58] drkjtr: xfce drive, but it was installed on the windows drive in the past. When I switch bios boot priority and moved grub to xfce disk, the windows boot partition and mbr got borked. [23:59] hey folks; ubuntu 14.04 LTS here. PROBLEM: can't get flash working inside of google chrome. i have tried installing the pepperflashplugin-nonfree with no result. ideas?
