TJ-Bashing-om: I'm still working with Super Talent/Asmedia to find the bug in their SSD boot ROM that locks systems up at boot time. Been sticking the logic analyser probe all over the pci-e signals as well as reverse-engineering the BIOS. Might get around to the boot guide in about 10 years at this rate :)00:00
columbobaasjepla, send the logs to k1l_00:00
Bashing-omTJ-: Haw ! logic probes are fun !00:01
TJ-Bashing-om: yeah, except when you're trying to decode gigahertz differential signals :)00:01

alui didnt really get a quality output00:02
cawinget1so I wanna fix some super bad screen tearing. I'm in the compizConfig settings manager, and I was told to set Sync to VBlank to enabled, under Display Settings, but there's no option to add that.00:02
aluit says cuda cores 1024 in nvidia-settings gui00:02
Bashing-omTJ-: Talk Talent/Asmedia into providing you with a high end o'scope ?00:02
alufor that command tho it says Attribute value is an integer not wrirten to the rc file and whatever00:02
TJ-Bashing-om: If I thought it'd come in handy again I'd get one, but I rarely need that kind of diagnostic capability. Although I have to say, hardware hacking is much more deterministic than all these software bugs!00:03
aludownloading off nvidia site now00:03
TJ-alu: you can use the --terse option to get just the numbers, as in "nvidia-settings -tq CUDACores" ... see "nvidia-settings --help"00:04
cawinget1I installed compton and screen tearing goes away, but I have to disable display compositing in the window manager tweaks, so my dock application doesn't work. Is there a way to make compton my compositor instead of compiz?00:05
Bashing-omTJ-: OId school. Little green light on the card is orange ... and come to find out , is the software closing the port. Just is not a perfect world .00:09

daftykinsand you didn't find an answer looking this up? :)01:31

vasiHi! It seems there have been a few Chromium point-releases since the latest chromium-browser package in Ubuntu. Do those usually end up packaged? Is there a staging repo I can look at if I need to use one of these releases?01:42
=== Gallomimia is now known as notGallo
Kali_Yugaubskeur: you can look under your setting and use the propriatary graphics driver of your card... was that you question?01:47
Kali_Yuga*r01:47
ubskeurKali_Yuga, the proprietary driver in the settings are fglrx, which causes some sort of crash whenever I log in01:47
ubskeurKali_Yuga, I was wondering if there were options beyond fglrx01:48
OerHeksfglrx-updates maybe?01:48
ubskeurok, I'll try both of those01:48
ubskeurjust in case I can't log in, how would I revert the drivers from command line?01:49
chalcedonymy husband had a network card failure with his last computer (being fixed). he's using my other computer in the meantime, but atm when he plugs in a lan cable it doesn't see the network. ifconfig only shows lo (not eth) 127.0.0.1 and inet 255.0.0.001:50

notGallosnicker01:51
Kali_Yugaok I was able to force unmount with "umount -f" option01:51
ubskeurok, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it I guess01:51
Kali_Yugaubskeur: thats an Ati card that you have right01:52
phixskinny: what about the rest of us?  you say hi too?01:52
notGalloubskeur: i used fglrx a year ago. it was terrible. crashed X when i used functions that it didn't like, such as adjusting voltages and fanspeeds and clockspeeds. unfortunately i found the fix was to get an nvidia GPU :/01:53
daftykinsubskeur: you've tried both fglrx and fglrx-updates i take it?01:53
ubskeurdaftykins, about to try them both now01:53
daftykinsnotGallo: er, that's more of a sign not to overclock than them being bad... (though yes AMD on Linux suck :) )01:53

ahemlockslieI think my installation may be hung. It's been on the "Who are you" screen for 15 minutes, maybe more, where it asks for password and such. Is there some way I can check? Nothing seems to be eating much CPU when I run "ps aux", which I find troubling.01:54
Kali_Yugawell thats installing the open-source driver I thought he wanted the propriatary one01:54
ubskeurI was going to get the gtx 970 but the local shop lied about it being available from them at all01:54

ubskeurchalcedony, have you checked all the basic settings?01:58
chalcedonyjust ifconfig01:58
Kali_Yugathats a huge grphics card reading something about a binary Catalyst driver01:58
ubskeurchalcedony, go into your network settings and see if stuff is off that should be on01:58
chalcedonyubskeur, i can't find stuff on his computer, if you can tell me what to do i'll do it?01:59
ubskeurchalcedony, go tot he launcher (usually top left or press the super key next to alt) and type in system settings01:59
chalcedonyubskeur, ok let me do that let's see02:00
ubskeurchalcedony, there will be a network icon, 2nd row between mouse and power02:00

chalcedonyindeed hopefully02:01
ahemlockslieMy Ubuntu installation hasn't shown any sign of progress in over half an hour, and I'm afraid to cancel since I don't know what it's done to my partitions. Is there any way I can see if it's stuck?02:01
daftykinsahemlockslie: well 'top' would be a lot better than ps02:01
ahemlockslieI did tell it to encrypt my home folder, but nothing is really eating CPU but firefox02:02
daftykinsdisk LED?02:02
Kali_Yugait doesn't take that long to install ubuntu in general ? maybe it really froze02:02
ahemlockslieNope.02:02
ahemlockslieNo LED02:02
daftykinsas in you don't have one or it's not lit? ;)02:02
ubskeurahemlockslie, is there an option on the installation window to show terminal or something?02:03
ahemlockslieNot lit02:03
daftykinsi'd give up if i were you02:03
ahemlockslieI'm doing this from the installation PC, so yeah, I have terminal02:03
ubskeurahemlockslie, you can always redo the installation and hope it doesn't take as long02:03
ahemlockslieI worry it might corrupt my Windows partition if I'm not careful02:03
daftykinsahemlockslie: that won't be mounted02:03
ubskeurahemlockslie, unlikely02:03
Kali_Yugadoes ctrl + alt + T work while installation?02:03
ahemlockslieOr at least render it inaccessible until I reburn Ubuntu if the CD is at fault, but it verified fine after burning02:04
daftykinshow else do you two think ps got run?02:04
ahemlockslieWell, less the Windows partition, more the MBR02:04
ahemlockslieAnd partition table02:04
daftykinsjust reset, it'll be fine.02:04
daftykinsyou made backups before installing anyway right...02:04
ahemlockslieYeah, I just reinstalled Windows like two weeks ago, all my back ups are pretty current, it's just...02:04
ahemlockslieNot again D:02:05
ahemlockslieplease no02:05
daftykinschop chop.02:05
Kali_Yugacan you open terminal ??02:05
ahemlockslieYeah02:05
Kali_Yugatype top02:05
daftykins*facepalm*02:05
daftykinsi already said that :P02:05
ahemlockslieps aux and top both show pretty low CPU usage outside of Firefox and various desktop things02:05
Kali_Yugaoh02:05
Kali_Yugaand?02:05
Kali_Yugaa nothing but firefox02:06
ahemlockslieJust about nothing, yeah02:06
chalcedonyubskeur, "the system network settings are not compatible with this version"02:06
chalcedonyubskeur, it shows network and network settings - which is a window that is blank02:06
Kali_Yugayes reset and overwrite that partition and do it again02:06
daftykinschalcedony: what led to being misconfigured?02:07
ahemlockslieSome activity from various kworker threads, a bit of rcuos/2 and rcu_sched, but that's most of it02:07

chalcedonyubskeur, daftykins i haven't a clue. maybe trying to get it to work with the non-working motherbaord's card?02:07
daftykinschalcedony: ah you mentioned it's an old system, interesting - no eth0 is bad, you definitely don't have anything else from "ifconfig -a" ?02:07
ahemlockslieThose last few things and everything else are showing tenths of a percent of CPU usage, if anything02:07
chalcedonydaftykins, let me go see what ifconfig -a does02:08
ubskeurI just realised that the "progress bar" in the additional drivers window was a scroll bar02:08
ubskeurbrb reboot02:08
Kali_Yugahow old is that pc???02:08
daftykinsKali_Yuga: please don't jump on issues other people are dealing with, nor ask questions that won't help.02:08
ahemlockslieI'm just gonna give up and leave it running overnight. It's almost certainly stuck, but if it's not, I don't want to ruin it, and I have no other plans for the PC tonight anyway, so it's harmless to let it run.02:08
ahemlockslieThanks anyway for the help, everyone02:09
daftykinssounds like a waste of time but ok :)02:09
ubskeurit appears that my issue was only in fglrx and using fglrx-updates has solved this02:09

ahemlocksliedaftykins: I can either shut it down and go to bed, or go to bed and let it run, but either way, nothing else is happening, so what could it hurt?02:10

daftykinsahemlockslie: guess someone else pays the bills ;)02:11

notGalloubskeur: yup :(02:13

daftykinsso if this is an old machine, what distro is it? or rather, which desktop environment?02:21
supercom32Question: I have a USB keyboard. If I stop typing for a short period it appears that it goes to sleep or something. Because the next character I enter gets lost and I have to push the key a second time before it registers. Anyone know how to solve this?02:21
thedanyessupercom32: wireless?02:21
supercom32Literally, if I stop typing for like 5-10 seconds, it does this. Nope, not wireless. Wired.02:22
daftykinssupercom32: are you using a USB 3 port? switch to 2 if so02:22
thedanyessupercom32: what model keyboard?02:22
supercom32I can double check, but I think I'm using 2.0? I have a logitech washable keyboard02:22
supercom32I forget the model number02:22
thedanyessupercom32: you can check dmesg and syslog for errors. might be losing connection or something.02:23
thedanyessupercom32: Actually, first thing I'd probably try is swap keyboards.02:23
supercom32I plugged my keyboard into the front where I know for sure it has USB 2.0. We'll see if that does anything. Though I dunno why USB 3.0 would do that02:24
chalcedonydaftykins, its a new computer. good power supply. the hard drive is whatever he's running - ubuntu 14.0402:24
daftykinschalcedony: oh so you transplanted it from the faulty system and booted up?02:24
chalcedonydaftykins, yes02:24
daftykinsmmm that is what resulted in having eth202:25
supercom32thedanyes: Suppose the issue is USB 3.0 ports, can anything be done about it?02:25
chalcedonydaftykins, efforts to get the other one to work, yes most probably02:25
daftykinsyou should not use peripherals in USB 3.0 ports02:26
daftykinssupercom32: it's pretty obvious which ones are 3.0, they'll either have an SS logo beside them, or be blue02:26
thedanyessupercom32: well you could stop using that port for that keyboard.02:26
daftykinschalcedony: is it the normal unity desktop?02:26
thedanyessupercom32: Personally, I haven't encountered any problems with USB 3.0 recently, I use it pretty extensively for external HDD.02:26
supercom32thedayes: All the ports in the back of my PC are blue. But the USB ports on the front which connect directly to the internal motherboard connectors are USB 2.0 for sure.02:26
daftykinsHDDs aren't peripherals :)02:27
chalcedonydaftykins, essentially. he's also running whatever that's called that makes multiple desktops02:27
thedanyessupercom32: logitech washable thing is like the silicon flexy deal?02:27
thedanyessilicone*02:27
supercom32@thedanyes: Nah, its this = http://www.logitech.com/en-sg/product/washable-keyboard-k31002:28
daftykinschalcedony: hrmm, so the network card from the motherboard that is faulty was a separate card and you still have it?02:28
daftykinsi think plugging it in will allow it to appear in that install as eth0 and possibly resume working02:29
Kali_Yugafunny keyboard :)02:29
chalcedonydaftykins, it was onboard, a new gigabyte board, they are repairing (under warranty)02:29
daftykinsah ok so not an option02:29
chalcedonyyes02:29
daftykinswell, sounds to me like you either need to stop network manager or fight it into dealing with *that* systems NIC instead02:30
chalcedonygreat02:30
lkthomasanyone using KDE on Ubuntu now? does KDE still use more resources than Unity ?02:31
daftykinsso first up try a reboot, "sudo service network-manager stop" then "sudo dhclient eth2" again02:31
chalcedonyok02:31
chalcedonyty02:31
daftykinschalcedony: if you know the IP schema of your home network you could also just statically address the adapter temporarily and see if it works.02:31
daftykinschalcedony: e.g. "sudo ifconfig eth2 192.168.x.x netmask 255.255.255.0" then try pinging your router to see if the adapter is working02:32
Kali_Yugalkthomas: I think a little more yes I use kde02:32
lkthomasKali_Yuga, how is general stability ?02:32
chalcedonydaftykins, yes i'll try that02:32

Kali_Yugaeverybody dislikes unity or not?02:43
thedanyesI love it.02:43
lkthomasthedanyes, I like it a lot, but I am a little more demanding in terms of features02:44
thedanyesThe Amazon thing was dumb, but I don't mind disabling it, and supposedly they made it opt-in in newer versions.02:44
thedanyeslkthomas: I find there's sometimes a trade-off between stability, ease-of-productivity, and features.02:45
lkthomasthedanyes, I am pretty sure Ubuntu guy are getting rebates from Amazon02:45
chalcedonydaftykins, this was supposed to be *my* computer. i had to disable ipv6 to get it to boot properly on debian squeeze. i wonder if any of that messed with its abilities, because now it has an ip, it tries to ping.. but gets nothing02:45
lkthomasthedanyes, some of our desktop users having issue like clock disappear, desktop hang...etc with Unity02:45
Tyrandiswhats up guys02:46
thedanyeslkthomas: hmm what version of Ubuntu and what graphics driver?02:46
daftykinschalcedony: are you pinging the router IP or a web address?02:46
lkthomasthedanyes, 14.04, Nvidia 33102:46
chalcedonydaftykins, *1.1 and another address on the lan. still nothing02:46
thedanyeslkthomas: strange.  that's pretty much what i'm running (14.04.3 + NVIDIA 355.06)02:46
lkthomasthedanyes, well, that two users is very demanding, those crash never appear to any other users but two of them02:47
chalcedonydaftykins, i could try other cables, but i doubt it's the cable02:47
daftykinschalcedony: does 'ifconfig -a' show any 'dropped' beside eth2?02:47
chalcedonydaftykins, let me see02:47
daftykinsalso check for any clues from "dmesg | tail"02:47
thedanyesI ran KDE back in the 3.5.10 days and it was fine, but even then the 'good' applications menu was unstable (the one that let you type to search).  I totally abandoned KDE in the 4.1/4.2 days because it was so unstable and they'd removed so many basic features.02:48
lkthomasthedanyes, heard about it too02:48
thedanyeslkthomas: huh.  no info in the logs?  can they just run 'unity' at the command line to restart unity and get their clock back?02:48
daftykinsfolks take the chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please :)02:49
lkthomasthedanyes, I just ask them reboot02:49
lkthomaslet's move to offtopic02:49

Nelson1Linux (pronounced i/ˈlɪnəks/ lin-əks[4][5] or, less frequently, /ˈlaɪnəks/ lyn-əks[5][6]) is a Unix-like and mostlyPOSIX-compliant[7] computer operating system (OS) assembled under the model of free and open-source software development and distribution. The defining component of Linux is the Linux kernel,[8] an operating system kernel first released on 5 October 1991 by Linus Torvalds.[9][10] The Free Software Foundation uses the na04:45
Nelson1The Unix operating system was conceived and implemented in 1969 at AT&T's Bell Laboratories in the United States byKen Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, Douglas McIlroy, and Joe Ossanna.[22] First released in 1971, Unix was written entirely inassembly language as it was common practice at the time. Later, in a key pioneering approach in 1973, it was rewritten in the C programming language by Dennis Ritchie (with exceptions to the kernel and I/O). The avai04:45
Nelson1Linus Torvalds had wanted to call his invention Freax, a portmanteau of "free", "freak", and "x" (as an allusion to Unix). During the start of his work on the system, he stored the files under the name "Freax" for about half of a year. Torvalds had already considered the name "Linux," but initially dismissed it as too egotistical.[32]In order to facilitate development, the files were uploaded to the FTP server (ftp.funet.fi) of FUNET in September 1991. 04:45
cfhowlettNelson1, stop it now04:45
Nelson1Adoption of Linux in production environments, rather than being used only by hobbyists, started to take off first in the mid-1990s in the supercomputing community, where organizations such as NASA started to replace their increasingly expensive machines with clusters of inexpensive commodity computers running Linux. Commercial use followed when Dell and IBM, followed by Hewlett-Packard, started offering Linux support to escape Microsoft's monopoly in t04:45
Nelson1A Linux-based system is a modular Unix-like operating system, deriving much of its basic design from principles established in Unix during the 1970s and 1980s. Such a system uses a monolithic kernel, the Linux kernel, which handles process control, networking, access to the peripherals, and file systems. Device drivers are either integrated directly with the kernel, or added as modules that are loaded while the system is running.[48]Separate projects th04:47
Nelson1Installed components of a Linux system include the following:[49][51]A bootloader, for example GNU GRUB, LILO, SYSLINUX, Coreboot or Gummiboot. This is a program that loads the Linux kernel into the computer'smain memory, by being executed by the computer when it is turned on and after the firmware initialization is performed.An init program, such as the traditional sysvinit and the newer systemd, OpenRC and Upstart. This is the first processÂ04:47
Nelson1The user interface, also known as the shell, is either a command-line interface (CLI), a graphical user interface (GUI), or through controls attached to the associated hardware, which is common for embedded systems. For desktop systems, the default mode is usually a graphical user interface, although the CLI is available through terminal emulator windows or on a separatevirtual console.CLI shells are the text-based user interfaces, which use text for b04:47
Nelson1The primary difference between Linux and many other popular contemporary operating systems is that the Linux kernel and other components are free and open-source software. Linux is not the only such operating system, although it is by far the most widely used.[57]Some free and open-source software licenses are based on the principle of copyleft, a kind of reciprocity: any work derived from a copyleft piece of software must also be copyleft itself.

Nelson1Linux kernel is a widely ported operating system kernel; it runs on a highly diverse range of computer architectures, including the hand-held ARM-based iPAQ and the IBM mainframes System z9 or System z10 – covering devices ranging from mobile phones to supercomputers.[66] Specialized distributions and kernel forks exist for less mainstream architectures; for example, the ELKS kernel fork can run on Intel 8086 or Intel 80286 16-bitmicropro04:47
Nelson1Beside the Linux distributions designed for general-purpose use on desktops and servers, distributions may be specialized for different purposes including: computer architecture support, embedded systems, stability, security, localization to a specific region or language, targeting of specific user groups, support for real-time applications, or commitment to a given desktop environment. Furthermore, some distributions deliberately include onlyfree software04:47
Nelson1The popularity of Linux on standard desktop computers and laptops has been increasing over the years.[69] Currently most distributions include a graphical user environment, with the two most popular environments being GNOME (which can utilize additional shells such as the defaultGNOME Shell and Ubuntu Unity), and the KDE Plasma Desktop.[citation needed]No single official Linux desktop exists: rather desktop environments and Linux distributions select c04:47

Stringtosshey i just upgraded from 14.10 to 15.04, and AMD Catalyst Control center won't load, i errors when typing in fglrxinfo into the terminal... if i purge fglrxinfo and reinstall it like it says on this page:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD  would that help?  I was unaware that I was supposed to uninstall it when upgrading05:57
lotuspsychjeStringtoss: if you need more stable try LTS05:58
lotuspsychjeStringtoss: a clean install 15.04 can do magic also05:59
Stringtossokay i don't have a CD to put a clean install on... but for now would purging and reinstalling help?06:00
WACOMaltlotuspsychje, gparted will not allow me to resize it06:00
WACOMaltthe handle will not drag and I cant type in a new size06:00
lotuspsychjeStringtoss: have spare usb perhaps?06:01
BGLk, well maybe i'll have better luck with an xubuntu install cuz this is a joke06:01
BGLwhy is unity even utilizing 640x480 at all? i can't see any of the dialogs in full06:01
Stringtossi don't see why i should have to do a clean install, i mean i've been suggested that before and I don't see what the point of providing an upgrade is if you should just do a clean install, you know?06:01
Stringtossi guess I was trying to avoid having to do something like that06:02
lotuspsychjeStringtoss: 14.10 is eol, so upgrading from it can cause issues06:02
WACOMaltIs there any other way to resize this partition? I dont know what gparted's deal is06:03
lotuspsychjeStringtoss: in many cases clean install can fix things, did you try the open source driver?06:03
StringtossI know, everything else is working fine though06:03
Stringtossthe xorg one?06:03
lotuspsychjeyes06:03
Stringtossi mean that one seems to work fine but I was hoping I could get the other one too06:03
Stringtossat least I thin it's working okay, no major explosions06:04
cfhowlettBGL, this is virtualbox?06:05
Stringtossactually I thought they went hand in hand06:05
BGLyeah06:07
lotuspsychjeStringtoss: best driver is the one working right06:07
cfhowlettBGL, no guest additions package = no full resolution06:07
BGLi don't get how the installer is in what appears to be 1024x768 yet then after install it boots to a fixed 640x48006:07
BGLi don't even care about full resolution, i'd be happy with what it installed with for now06:08
wafflejockStringtoss: LTS to LTS between 12.04 and 14.04 I was able to upgrade, ended up wiping eventually anyhow cause I decided to change up the environment I was using (used kubuntu for a while but settled on Gnome edition), it can work, that said I think the whole separating your home partition for easy reinstall of the OS/programs is a good idea06:08
wafflejockBGL: just install the guest additions should be good06:08
LambdaComplexBGL: Perhaps the LiveCD has drivers that aren't included in an installation?06:08
LambdaComplexBut yeah, just install the guest additions06:08
BGLyeah if only, i inserted and tried to install it twice and it just hung06:08
Stringtosswell from what i understand, i'll be able to keep my .home folder right?06:09
BGLi just shut it down and i'm trying xubuntu now06:09
BGLwhich i probly should've done from the beginning, but we'll see06:09
LambdaComplexXFCE <306:09
wafflejockBGL: you can try the ones in the repo as well sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-additions-iso, not sure what the problem is though06:09
lotuspsychjeStringtoss: yes, but backups always reccomended06:09
Stringtossoh of course, i backed up everything last night06:10
Stringtossthat's why i didn't upgrade sooner, i had moved and couldn't find my external hard drive06:10

ubuntu509hey guys I have an emergency07:40
ubuntu509I lost root ownership of the whole filesystem07:40
ubuntu509how do I gain it back? i cant even startup system without going to root shell07:41
akikubuntu509: boot of the live dvd and fix it there07:41
xanguaubuntu509: how about you explain first what you did exactly¿07:41
ubuntu509xangua I booted from vmware into a real partition and accidentaly timer timed out and it boot default which is ubuntu which i was runniing instead of what I wanted to run in VM, windows07:42
ubuntu509vmware was running in root mode so it stole the filesystem07:42
bazhangubuntu509, thats not credible07:42
ubuntu509meaning?07:42
bazhangubuntu509, #vmware for support07:43
ubuntu509i know i made stupid mistake but it all happened because grub timed out on ubuntu07:43
ubuntu509no seriously its not a vmware problem07:43
akikwhat is vmware root mode?07:43
ubuntu509i lost ownership on most system directories07:43
ubuntu509akik I ran vmware with sudo07:44
bazhangubuntu509, grub and vmware and 'stealing root' vmware issue07:44
cfhowlettWHY was vmware in root mode07:44
ubuntu509so simple question, how do I assign / ownership to sudo07:44
ubuntu509cfhowlett: because the virtual VMDK i created was only accessible in root07:44
bazhangubuntu509, you said root in vmware07:45
=== beyondsight is now known as Guest77465
ubuntu509no real ubuntu problem here forget vmware07:45
akikubuntu509: maybe before doing anything more, backup your data07:46
bazhangubuntu509, there is no stealing of root, for one, and without vmware in the equation, this alleged theft never took place07:46
ubuntu509ok let me post something, when I log into shell with my real username and do sudo chown root /07:46
lkthomashmm07:47
ubuntu509it gives me sudo: unable to openn /var/lib/sudi/webgen/tty1: read only file system07:47
ubuntu509chown: changing ownership of someWeirdChars: read-only file system07:47
ubuntu509var/lib/sudo i meant not sudi07:48
akikubuntu509: that can probably be solved by mount -o remount,rw /var07:48
ubuntu509ok let me try07:48
akikbut please backup your data first :)07:48
ubuntu509akik: my data is fine no worries07:48

ubuntu509i am scared :D07:51
ubuntu509and i really dont wanna reinstall ubuntu i have it pretty setup omg07:52
ubuntu509var lib sudo webgen tty1 dir sounds like a problem, if I somehow gain rw ownership then I ll be able to resolve i think07:53
akikubuntu509: one way to go forward is to boot the live dvd and chown there07:53
akikubuntu509: but it's hard to say what's your real problem is07:54
ubuntu509if i chown from live usb, how does it give ownership to the root and not the live usb root?07:54
akikroot is uid 0 always07:54

acsokais it possible to prevent a cp but allow mv only?08:01

acsokaakik what else can be used?08:04
akikcat, dd08:05

_Nornshello08:22
ObrienDaveAppropriate time-of-day greetings & Welcome08:23
_Nornshas the amd/fglrx situation been resolved for the latest apt upgrade with linux-headers and image generics?08:23
ObrienDavetry it and see08:23
_Nornswent through a whole ordeal yesterday.. spent far too long troubleshooting only to find out it was an issue tehre08:24
_Nornsdont feel up for that :D08:24
CyborgCygnusI'm clicking on icons to launch VLC, other apps in my Ubuntu 14.04 but they aren't opening. This happens when I tried to shutdown also, I have to shutdown from a terminal using commands08:24
_Nornsbut basically all videos aspects were nonfunctional with the upgrade08:24
ObrienDavehonestly couldn't tell you either way08:24
_Nornscool08:25
ubskeur_Norns, I'm running fglrx08:25
ubuntu509fixed without live usb akik thanks allot i used fcsk commandd or something and it corrected lots of errors i dont know and then it just logged in normally08:25
ubskeur_Norns, I was having issues with fglrx, switching to fglrx-updates seemed to fix it08:25
_Nornsubskeur: I had to roll back my grub to previous, was only solution i found08:25
ubskeur_Norns, either that or the problem was fixed08:26
ubskeur_Norns, what were the symptoms of your issue?08:26
rallonhi all08:27
ObrienDaveCyborgCygnus, try reinstalling the ubuntu-desktop08:27
_Nornsubskeur: basically the issue lies in the latest upgrade, with the linux-image-generics and linux-header-generics, at least as far as I was able to deduce from searching.. it lies with AMD GPU and FGLRX udpate08:27
_NornsI fixed it by rolling back to previous grub08:27
rallonI have to check a HDD for its content: it should be completely written with 0x55, how can I check, with which prog?08:27
_Nornsjust curious if its been solved08:27
ubskeur_Norns, I'm running fglrx-updates right now, yesterday I couldn't log in due to fglrx, today it's fine08:28
_Nornsi should say, fglrx-updates not fglrx08:28
_Nornsmy bad08:28
ubskeur_Norns, I wasn't running fglrx-updates yesterday though08:29
CyborgCygnusObrienDave, last thing I want to do but do you have a link on how to do that? You mean not reisntall Ubuntu right? And just reinstall its desktop environment?08:29
ObrienDaveCyborgCygnus, try     sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop08:30
ObrienDavejust the desktop environment (DE)08:30
_Nornsubskeur: hm.. I tried that yesterday purged fglrx-updates and core, dev and all that.. swtiched to fglrx, still had issue.  Only solution was to roll back grub.  Guess tomorrow when I get up i'll try an upgrade see what happens08:30
akikrallon: i don't know how to check, maybe calculate a checksum for 1 GiB of 0x55 then read it off the disk with dd and compare?08:30
_Nornsthx08:31
zuzulovesumhi08:32
zuzulovesumany one here08:32
ubskeuryes, ask a question08:32
zuzulovesumnice to meet u08:32
_Nornssup08:32
ubskeurzuzulovesum, are you here for a chat, or to solve a problem with ubuntu?08:32
zuzulovesumok so i installed ubuntu yesterday http://i.imgur.com/Q1tCaQ9.png < u can in this image though i forgot to turn off safe boot and installed it08:33
zuzulovesumthough it was installed it boots directly into 8.108:33
zuzulovesumand does not show grub any idea what i can do08:34
ubskeurzuzulovesum, where do you turn off safe boot? is it a bios setting or a windows setting or something else?08:35
ObrienDaveUEFI setting08:35
_Nornsthink you have to work around the UEFI setting08:35
ObrienDave!uefi08:35
ubottuUEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI08:35
akikrallon: if you don't have to test for 0x55 you can use badblocks to write 0x55 to the whole disk08:35
zuzulovesumbios uefi setting08:35
zuzulovesumi forgot to turn it off while installing08:35
ubskeurzuzulovesum, yeah, you have to work around uefi08:35
zuzulovesumi was told to turn it off as it could causesome issues08:35
_Nornsyea08:36
zuzulovesumso is there a way or work around ?08:36
ubskeur!uefi zuzulovesum08:36
ubskeur!uefi | zuzulovesum08:36
ObrienDaveturn it off, reinstall08:36

zuzulovesumi already read that mate08:36
zuzulovesumbut is 20 gb enough for ubuntu08:36
ubskeurzuzulovesum, probably08:37
zuzulovesumalso all i need to know how to fix grub08:37
ubskeurzuzulovesum, *yes08:37
_Nornsyea08:37
ubskeurzuzulovesum, it's all explained in the link on that post08:37
rallonakik: I had to block a badblocks -w in the reading of 0x55 patter and I wanted to just check that pattern, not re-write it and then check08:37
ObrienDavezuzulovesum, sudo update-grub08:37
ubskeurObrienDave, doesn't work if they can't boot to ubuntu08:37
zuzulovesumso should i go in live ubuntu08:38
ObrienDavenah, really? please tell me you're kidding, right?08:38
zuzulovesumand write that in terminal ?08:38
ubskeurnot sure it will work in a lovecd08:38
ubskeurliveusb08:38
zuzulovesumbut its worth a try right ?08:38
ubskeurI would suggest reinstalling using the uefi tutorial08:39
akikrallon: have you tried using dd to read the disk? you can pipe it directly to md5sum08:39
zuzulovesumhuh @akik08:39
zuzulovesumubskeur i got no problem reinstalling but how do i uninstall first08:39
rallonakik: md5sum calculate the MD5, but I have to check for every single byte to be 0x5508:40
ubskeurzuzulovesum, when you reinstall, remove the existing partitions and then put new ones where they were08:40
akikrallon: it's too slow that way08:40
rallonI'm trying od -t c | grep -v U08:40
ObrienDavezuzulovesum, you don't, just overwrite the ubuntu partitions08:40
rallon(U = 0x55)08:40
akikrallon: i'd read it in blocks of maybe 1MiB or such08:40
zuzulovesumhow do i remove them sorry but im new at all of this08:41
bodhihello08:41
rallonakik: it's VERY FAST that way, 100 MB/s08:41
rallon12 GB in 109 sec08:41
ubskeurzuzulovesum, when you're running the ubuntu installer, there is an option to do custom partitions08:42
ubskeurzuzulovesum, you can select partitions you don't want and press the - to remove them08:42
zuzulovesumyeah something else08:42
zuzulovesumk ill try that thank u08:42
ubskeurnp08:42
zuzulovesumill be back if i get more issues thanks again08:42

mistralolbasically its for a rapsberry pi09:23
ubskeurmistralol, it exists, it used to be supported, why do you need to know?09:23
teo_hi09:34
ubskeurteo_, hello, how can we help you?09:34
teo_i'd like to install ubuntu, i have tested it on virtual box and i like it09:34
teo_but i'd like to use it with kde09:34
teo_and not unity09:35
teo_i have read that there is kubuntu09:35
teo_but there are many differences in it (programs installed)09:35
teo_so i'd like to install normal ubuntu and change the desktop from unity to kde09:35
teo_is it possible (easy) or it's better to install kubuntu?09:36
ubskeurteo_, kubuntu and ubuntu are very similar, but changing ubuntu from unity to kde is also possible09:36
teo_is it simple?09:36
wafflejockteo_: there will be a different set of default apps but just as easy in terms of setup09:36
mistralolubskeur: yeah i would like th eprecompiled gstreamer 14.10 from it :)09:36
mistralolubskeur: is it still possible to upgrade to it?09:37
teo_good09:37
ubskeurmistralol, so you want to install gstreamer on 14.10?09:37
mistralolyes but a specific version at least 1.409:37
teo_i need a single command (like search it in the app list) or is longer?09:38
ubskeurteo_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE09:38
wafflejockteo_: you can get a totally separate ISO here http://www.kubuntu.org/09:38
teo_thanks!!!09:38
mistralolubskeur: unless it would be possible to update the rpi port to 15.04 that would also work as well09:38
teo_i know that there is kubuntu (not tested) but seems (from wikipedia) that it has different apps09:39
teo_for example there isn't firefox but there is other09:39
ubskeurmistralol, you mean to update a raspberry pi to ubuntu 15.04? that would be possible09:39
wafflejockteo_: they have the same repositories so you can still install everything09:39
teo_yes but the only thing that i don't like is kde09:39
mistralolubskeur: either way works. Would almost prefere the supported lastest version imo09:39
teo_i mean unity09:39
wafflejockteo_: just different defaults because it's using KDE friendly stuff09:39
mistralolubskeur: but if i run a do-release-update it says no new version found09:40
wafflejockteo_: would suggest giving it a try you get the full KDE experience and adding in the one or two apps you want from regular Unity is no biggie09:40
teo_maybe i will try kubuntu and ubuntu with kde09:40
ubskeurmistralol, do you have graphics or do you have to use command line?09:40
mistralolcmd line09:40
teo_so you think is better if i download kubuntu?09:40
ubskeurteo_, I would recommend kubuntu in your case09:40
teo_good!09:41

mistralolubskeur: ypu looks like its going to update to utopic09:44
ubskeurmistralol, that fixed it?09:44
mistralolubskeur: another quick question. Does ubuntu force an update path? or can you jump trusty -> vivid?09:45
OerHeksmistralol, no.09:45
ubskeurmistralol, you should be upgrading to vivid, not utopic09:46
OerHeksas utopic is EOL, you will need some tricks to get the package server running, see !eolupgrade09:46
OerHekssee the old-releases part > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades#Upgrading09:47

mistralolubskeur: yeah but i am on trusty which is still supported?09:57
mcphailmistralol: there will not be a supported upgrade path from trusty until the release of 16.0409:58

mistraloldo I have to go trusty -> utopic -> vivid?09:59

mcphailmistralol: OerHeks has already given you a link to the unsupported method, and has also given you the supported advice: do a fresh install09:59
mistralolmcphail: there is no installer for vivid for this port ;)10:00

mistralolcurrently looking at this https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11010510:02

mistralolOerHeks: trusty has gstreamer 1.2.x i need 1.4.x10:04
mcphailmistralol: I've found gstreamer to be a nightmare to upgrade in the past. I don't think you're going to find a good solution beond waiting for someone to port a newer Ubuntu version. Perhaps consider a different distro?10:05
mistralolmcphail: i am about to build my own image for vivid which somebody else has already done.10:06

The screens gets black every 7 second and pretty much the whole PC freezes. Could it be I need proper drivers for this?10:57
Gallomimiayes.10:58
ubskeurBern_, you can install proprietary drivers from the additional drivers settings10:58
Gallomimiaopen source drivers, very slow. someone was in here comparing them. 7fps in one game, change to proprietary, got 60fps10:58
ubskeurGallomimia, it was 9fps10:58

Gallomimiawas it you?10:59
ubskeurGallomimia, yeah10:59
Gallomimiaa slideshow is still a slideshow10:59
Bern_ubskeur ok. So just download drivers from AMD's website and install? No other fuss?10:59

ubskeurBern_, that is not the best method10:59
Gallomimiause package manager.10:59

Bern_Should I use "Using Video driver for the AMD graphics accelerator from fglrx updates" ?11:02
Gallomimiathat sounds terrible. is he using the open source drivers?11:02
ubskeurBern_, there are a few options in that window, pick one (fglrx is meant to be stable, but has been having issues in the past couple of days)11:02
GallomimiaBern_: yes that's the good stuff.11:02
k1lBern_: dont install the driver from the amd website. ubuntu ships amd drivers, you just need to choose them11:02
folfGallomimia: no I haven't done anything to them. Basically inherited the machine.11:02
ubskeurBern_, fglrx or fglrx-updates11:02

SirDude0Lotwas running netstat -nap13:39

techkamarhi der13:39
SirDude0Lotbut the port is in use....13:40
lilwizOk, good news. If Ubuntu is installed onto a USB-device, it does work to update it. But if ran as a live-cd with persistance and updated, it will give you a "busybox" error.13:40

TJ-SirDude0Lot: how about telling us what service you are trying to start, and show us in a pastebin what it reports?13:42
lilwizAnyone familiar with libata and could give me a hand in disabling my on-board SSD from failing and halting boot over a minute?13:42
lilwizThere is a patch but there is no instructions on how I do it in "libata", link: https://superuser.com/questions/599333/how-to-disable-kernel-probing-for-drive13:43
TJ-lilwiz: which kernel version is in use ("uname -r") ?13:44
lilwizTJ-, 3.19.0-15-generic13:44
TJ-lilstevie: let me check if we carry that patch already13:44
TJ-lilwiz: : let me check if we carry that patch already13:44
lilwizThank you!13:45
TJ-lilwiz: that'll be a Vivid install?13:45
lilwizI'd just like Ubuntu (or if its grub) to skip checking ATA00 and ATA01 on boot. It keeps testing and testing.13:45
lilwizTJ-: Correct.13:45

thunderwillowlilwiz, I would not recomend it, but you could edit your /etc/fstab(as root) and erase the "1" after every line13:47
thunderwillowlilwiz, make a backup of that file first though13:47
Guest38582I've been trying to figure out plymouth.  But, I just keep getting black screens instead.  On several systems, I've install the plymouth manager and/or manually installed a plymouth theme and all that ends of happening is a black screen during boot.  I've "sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth" and "sudo update-initramfs -u" before each reboot.13:48
TJ-thunderwillow: what are you talking about?!13:48
lilwizthunderwillow: I could, I'm a newbie on Ubuntu and linux though. The link I read, it almost sounded like it was "patched" already and just a simple line in terminal to fix it. But maybe your suggestion is the better.13:48
TJ-lilwiz: ignore that - editing fstab has nothing at all to do with it13:48
thunderwillowthe 1 mean disk checking doesn;t it13:49
thunderwillow?13:49
TJ-lilwiz: OK, the patch is in the Vivid 3.19 kernel so you can use the option on the kernel command line13:53
lilwizTJ-: How do I proceed if I'm in desktop?13:53
m0e42reboot and edited the startup line in bootmenu13:54
m0e42just for testing13:54
lilwizBy holding shift (googled)?13:54
TJ-lilwiz: identify the ataX.YY number of the device, then edit "/etc/default/grub" and add the entry to the line that starts GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX, inside the double-quotes, space separated from other options that may be there.13:55
baizonHi, I need some help. How can I securely delete a partition, so that no data can be recovered?13:55
m0e42or so13:55
TJ-lilwiz: Then update GRUBs on-disk grub.cfg with "sudo updte-grub"13:55
TJ-baizon: depending on the underlying device, it may or may not be possible. Superficially, you can zero it with "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdZ bs=100M", or randomise it with "if=/dev/urandom"13:56
m0e42@baizon best is to boot something like UBCD and erase it. http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/dban.html13:57
baizonm0e42: but its an external drive, so why boot into an extra live system?13:57
m0e42or like TJ said dd it with /dev/random 2 or 3 times13:57
justintv90Hi everyone, can i integrate hexchat into message indicator ?13:57
TJ-baizon: if the target device reallocates blocks, or uses erase blocks (as in an SSD) then you'd need to erase the entire device to be sure all the blocks were almost gone13:58
lilwizTJ-, so in my case (knowing it's ATA0) it would look like this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="libata.force=ata0:disable" ?13:58
baizonjustintv90: sudo apt-get install hexchat-indicator13:58
justintv90then restart hexchat ?13:58
TJ-m0e42: why 2 or 3 times? That hasn't been required for years. That's folklore from when the hard disk drive servo's couldn't always fully align over the track on the platter13:58
baizonTJ-: is this enough?13:58
m0e42@baizon try nwipe from the terminal13:59

lilwizTJ-, rebooting now to test, appreciate the help from you!14:03
TJ-m0e42: the issue you're referring to was when the recorded magnetic tracks were wider than the recording heads, and slight variations in the servos holding the heads over the tracks meant that there could be residual magnetic remains to the sides of the track centre. The idea of multiple passes was that it sohuld average out and overwhelm those remnants14:03

arca_voragoMorning all, anyone have any quick tips on how to save window locations? I have a multimonitor setup and want to launch a few terminals in set locations on monitors 3 & 4 everytime I log in14:04
catphishOerHeks: i think that's only for hardware detected interfaces, i want to do this for a bridge14:04
mylordshould I install nvm with curl, or apt-get?14:05
TJ-catphish: there's many options, we've had traditional kernel names (ethX), biosdevnames (p1e2), and now systemd/udevd network device naming... it depends on which is in use as to how you can influence the naming14:05
m0e42@TJ ok, learned something again today :)14:05
ametjanhello14:05
TJ-catphish: for virtual interfaces, the tools will allow you to give the interface any legal name you want14:05
catphishi think maybe i need "mapping"14:05
ametjancan anyone  help me on setting up a serial  connection14:06
lilwizTJ-, the boot this time wasn't as informative as before, by that I mean that it was just showing a purple background instead of the command line "jibberish" that it used to do. Do I hold down a key to enable that listing or..?14:06
m0e42normaly F214:06
lilwizTJ-, it booted fine though.14:06
TJ-lilwiz: you're seeing the Plymouth splash screen. Pressing Esc usually toggles that.14:06
lilwizI'll reboot to test again.14:06
TJ-lilwiz: You can also disable 'splash' from the kernel command line if you want, by deleting from the setting you edited earlier14:07
catphishTJ-: do you happen to know how?14:07
TJ-lilwiz: if you hold Shift down at boot and get the grub boot manager menu, you can 'E'dit an entry, and delete the 'splash' parameter, then boot with the revised line using Ctrl+X or F1014:08
TJ-catphish: if it's a bridge all you need is to use the name you want in the "iface ...' line of "/etc/network/interfaces"14:08
lilwizTJ-, I will try that. ESC or F2 (as m0e42 suggested) didn't do anything I'm afraid. Still just a purple background before entering desktop.14:08
TJ-lilwiz: Esc should always work for Plymouth, that's the key it listens for.14:09
catphishTJ-: how does that then relate to an "auto" line, and how will it know what type of interface to create14:09
Edicohi14:10
catphishoh, auto just enable the interface to come up automatically, nothing to do with its configuration, but how does the iface line know what type of interface to create?14:10
=== guilherme is now known as Guest59385
TJ-catphish: e.g. "iface br0 inet dhcp" ... "auto br0"   could become "iface myfabbridge inet dhcp" " auto myfabbridge"14:11
lilwizTJ-, I should perhaps clearify, I'm running it off a USB flash drive, I installed it using another USB flash drive to run the installer ontop of it. Maybe that makes a difference? I tried holding down shift now, still just goes to the purple background and then black, then into desktop.14:11
catphishTJ-: thanks, i hoped i could do that, but how does it know to create a bridge?14:11
TJ-catphish: interesting question that... I've never wondered that! I guess, because a bridge will have "bridge_ports xxx xxx" too?14:12
arca_voragowell nobody answered but if you are curious the way to save window pos is to install zompiz-config-settings-manager and compiz-plugins-extra14:12

TJ-catphish: yep!  /etc/network/if-{pre-up,post-down}.d/bridge are sym-links to /lib/bridge-utils/fupdown.sh which looks for the bridge_ports entry or else exits immediately: case "$IF_BRIDGE_PORTS" in ...14:15

catphishi'm making a GUI that configures bridges, i'm just trying to work out what to do if someone tries to make a bridge from an interface that already has IPs, i'll either refuse and make them modify their interfaces file, or move the IPs to the bridge automatically14:18
TJ-catphish: the latter option is the usual thing to do... gets to be fun though when several bridge_ports have IPs assigned, or there are alias interfaces14:19
catphishwell it's made easier by the fat that there will only ever be one port in the bridge (it's for VMs)14:19
TJ-catphish: ahhh, that makes sense. You know that libvirt has that functionality ?14:20
m0e42so guys i'm out for no. works over. cya14:20
catphishTJ-: tbh i'm trying to avoid libvirt and implement the functionality myself as simply as possible, mostly so that i know what's happening at a low level, though i realise this may be causing me more trouble than its worth14:22
TJ-catphish: I don't blame you - libvirt makes my ears steam sometimes14:23
catphishlibvirt has some great features, but my dislike of xml and excessive abstraction keep me away from it14:23
TJ-catphish: I assume you have to transfer the routing tables that have entries for the bridge_ports too?14:24
catphishTJ-: yes14:24
TJ-catphish: just thinking about how it would affect policy-based routing tables :)14:24
catphishi really don't anticipate any existing, but its worth remembering14:24
catphishi'm hoping this will be limited to a simple eth or bond interface with a couple of IPs and a default gateway14:25
catphishbut there are all sorts of things i'm unsure about, like knowing which IPv6 addresses to move14:25
gartralhey all, I'm having a mild issue with a new computer that isn't dropping to idle CPU speed, it's an i7 4790k system with ubuntu 15.04 as it's only OS... it seems to be always running at it's turbo speed of 4.4ghz14:25
TJ-catphish: I can imagine :)14:25
catphishshame one can't just change the interface of an IP14:26
TJ-gartral: any clues in "/var/log/dmesg" ?14:26
gartralTJ-: oddly enough.... (Nothing has been logged yet.)14:26
MonkeyDustgartral  did i already suggest thermeld and indicator-cpufreq to you?14:28
MonkeyDustthermald*14:28
TJ-gartral: it's systemd... journald  isn't feeding to rsyslogd so you have to view/search the binary logs14:28
gartralTJ-: doing a dmesg | tail -n 120 shows nothing cpu-related, there's a few traces for a dodgy USB device, but that's nothing new14:28
catphishTJ-: on the other hand, if libvirt has a oneline CLI command to do this, i will probably use it in that way14:28
gartralMonkeyDust: I've not installed thermald14:29

Guest72408Thank you.14:49
bishopsand why14:49
catphishlexflex: i'd give virtualbox a try, though personally i've never tried photoshop with it14:49
TJ-gartral: looks like you may need to change the scaling governor, because "/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq = 4400000"  ... _min_ is the same as _max_14:49
catphishlexflex: unfortunately the next step would be very complicated with pci passthrough14:50
lexflexcfhowlett, do you think my lags are due to lack of dedicated GPU? what i observe in system monitor is CPU spikes when lags happen14:50
gartralTJ-: i only have two governers available, "Performance" and "Powersave" I'm using "Powersave" right now and it's not doing jack14:51
TJ-lexflex: yes, since the GPU is having to be software emulated in many ways.14:51
lexflexcatphish, yeah, that passthrough sounds terrifying and exciting at the same time. i really want to keep ubuntu as main operating system and avoid going back to windows but this is kind of a bummer14:51
gartralTJ-: I'mm reboot and do the intremap=no_x2apic_optout trick14:51
TJ-gartral: Yes, that's what I mean. you need to figure out how to alter that _min_ or to use an alternative governor. You'll need to read up on that though14:51
TJ-gartral: OK14:51
lexflexTJ-: so a stab at PCI passtrough might solve it then, wouldn't it?14:52
TJ-PCI pass-through with IOMMU/VT-d is quite simple. It's the same as mapping a host USB device into a VM guest.14:52
cfhowlettbishops, please don't poll this channel.  use what works for YOU14:52
lexflexTJ- I'm not 100% sure if my mainboard supports VT-d. My CPU does14:53
TJ-lexflex: The mobo chipset must support IOMMU/VT-d (directed I/O) and the system will probably need 2 separate GPUs if you want to use the host with a display, too14:53
Keir0nI read that performance is also better when playing on linux, is that true?14:53
catphishneeding a second GPU would be the main issue14:53
bishopscfhowlett: alright, I was just genuinely curious to know what knowledgeable people think. But I don't want to cause controversy obviously14:53
Keir0nexcuse me if i sound like a noob :P14:53
catphishKeir0n: i believe valve did some tests and found that source games ran *marginally* better on linux14:54
lexflexTJ- couldn't I use the onboard-graphics for host ubuntu and passthru the nvidia card to the VM?14:54
catphishKeir0n: i doubt it would make much difference either way though14:54
TJ-lexflex: if they are both discrete GPUs (not Optimus) yes, very likely14:54
cfhowlettbishops, no worries.14:54
lexflexTJ-: the board is this: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/Z87PRO/specifications/14:56

alimjNo encryption this time.15:09
alimjShould it be fine?15:09
TJ-alimj: why not simply use LVM so you can vary the file-system sizes in the future with minimal obstacles?15:10
alimjTJ-, I am little bit paranoid. On old HDD I had LVM over LUKS (even for SWAP)15:10
TJ-alimj: I would use LVM and leave at least 20% of the extends in the volume group unallocated; and have them available if some LV needs extending later.15:11
TJ-alimj: Yes, LUKS+LVM is a good solution15:11
mcphailvanishing: if you run "apt-cache search inotify", there might be a tool in there for you15:11
lexflexTJ- thank you. well that rules out PCI passthrough then15:12
gartralTJ-: whelp.. i added the flag.. no help.. you say the govener is being dumb?15:12

mcphailrumpy1: I'm afraid the upstream kernels won't be supported, so you are not going to get much traction on the bug reports unless you are running stock15:58
TJ-rumpy1: re: #1486581 "4.2 RC7" ... as soon as anyone sees that, the default reaction is "unsupported". If the bug report included details for a supported kernel it might get some notice. However, it is assigned to the acpid package whereas the usb3 driver is in 'linux' kernel15:59
rumpy1oh boy, cant properly use wifi/bluetooth on stock kernel15:59
rumpy1well, i guess i have to wait for 15.1015:59
mcphailrumpy1: the other thing is to make sure you create a better title for the bug report. "Automatic resume from suspend" doesn't give much information, and wouldn't catch the eye of someone looking for a project to fix16:00
rumpy1though the problem was present in stock kernels too16:00
TJ-rumpy1: OK, but if you can confirm the resume issue also affects stock, that is useful info. If it doesn't then you've found a regression16:00

Gallomimiathe command you wrote put the installer on a partition within the usb stick. you want it to occupy the whole disk, and it comes with a bootable master block21:01
pte_peteyright ok21:01
Gallomimiawhen you try again, make sure it's still disk421:01
v0ronweclimu: try the same with .xprofile21:01
pte_peteyi think the doc should come with a warning21:01

aeden__DAEL-H, there are subdirectories of the root folder they need access to, applications they run that need access to subdirectories of /. So locking them out of / would lock them out of directories they need to run stuff23:20

Infinite_but can I reinstall stuff in recovery mode?23:44
Infinite_its recovery pro btw23:44
Infinite_k1l_:  should I do it?23:45
k1l_Infinite_: the recovery depends on the hoster and are most times custom recoveries. i would suggest to talk to the hoster if they can help you there23:45
Infinite_k1l_: My hoster is OVH23:46
Infinite_so23:46
Infinite_and its Recovery Pro23:46
Infinite_k1l_: would reinstalling the iptables be fine23:46

k1l_Infinite_: i dont know what iptables rules you need to get connected again. but the -F did kill all rules23:48
Infinite_so killing all of them was the problem?23:49
