dsfsdgdsgHi there, How do I give "user" access to these files (http://paste.ubuntu.com/12146487/), I've added "user" to snort group, still not allowed to access files.00:02
dsfsdgdsgFiles located at /var/log/snort/ *^00:03
Bashing-omthe_count: I am available. However, I have slept since our last . You will have to remind me what we are working toward, and where we are now .00:03
* kadiro we are in ubuntu channel ( joke ) :D00:05
the_countBashing-om: Do you always sleep like that? And, We were working on fixing something that is hindering synaptics drivers from letting the touchpad properly work, and we were last checking something for installed software or kernel or something like that?00:06
the_countI meant period00:06
the_countBashing-om: I need to talk to someone inexpectedly, be back in a bit. (or longer)00:08
dsfsdgdsgI don't get permission files, I have rw access and groups correctly sorted but I'm still forced to use root to access files in /var/log/blah/00:10

Guest813881how to i get Ubuntu to boot into a virtual terminal rather than login manager?01:02
SchrodingersScat!text | Guest81388101:06
ubottuGuest813881: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode01:06

AffyGuys, I'm lost... I can't seem to get windows 10 and ubuntu to play along. First of all the ubuntu install doesn't recognize windows 10 so I need to do manual install, but when I reboot and get into grub to boot ubuntu, I get dropped to (initramfs) prompt/busybox thing. I follow this guide: http://www.everydaylinuxuser.com/2014/05/install-ubuntu-1404-alongside-windows.html02:28
AffyAlso, another strange thing. When I do a re-install of windows on the drive and re-create the partition table. When I reboot, I still have a boot option in bios called "ubuntu". Maybe I should wipe the drive or something? Maybe something is corrupt?02:29

TaymonHello, I rescued the hard disk from a dead machine and am trying to recover my ecryptfs home partition, but am running into some unexpected difficulties.03:31
TaymonI ran ecryptfs-recover-private and got INFO: Success!  Private data mounted at [/tmp/ecryptfs.orDMsELX].03:32
TaymonBut then at that location there's just Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop and friends there, instead of my actual data.03:33
akikTaymon: is there a Exec= line in that desktop file?03:35
daffy__anyone who uses gnome can help me on changing the close windows button to the left side?03:37
Taymonakik: Exec=/usr/bin/ecryptfs-mount-private03:37
akikTaymon: i'm pretty sure that you need to run that command. you are not in a graphical DE ?03:38
Winter_Comdaffy__ I want to change the close windows button to the left too, so do you have any idea on xfce desktop environment ?03:39
akikTaymon: those .desktop files describe an icon03:39
Taymonakik: I'm on the command line and I already ran that command.03:40
daffy__Winter_Com, nothing here.. im trying on gnome, found nothing on google03:40

Winter_Comok, when you have any idea, give a clue , thanks. daffy__03:41
daffy__Winter_Com, you too, if u find something let me now, I'll consider change gui03:42
wafflejockWinter_Com: daffy__ I'm surprised by this, the move by unity to move them to the left was not well received03:42
Taymonakik: I did. And then I went to the directory that it created, and Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop was in it.03:42
wafflejockWinter_Com: daffy__ you may want to see if there's anything in dconf-editor or the tweak-tool for your desktop but not sure03:43
akikTaymon: what did /usr/bin/ecryptfs-mount-private output when you ran it?03:43

wafflejockdaffy__: well I tend towards shortcuts on the keyboard when it comes to closing windows but just having things in corners is the main thing so you can just bury the mouse in the corner basically and hit the button03:44

MerwcoHello everyone. I have a problem with my ubuntu 14.04. From time to time I get the sound problem, that the sound is either kind of slowed down or speeded up by about 10%. using pulseaudio -k in the terminal or rebooting is a temporary workaround. does anyone know how to fix this permanently?03:45
Taymonakik: Ah, sorry, I ran ecryptfs-recover-private.03:45
akikTaymon: try the command after Exec= now03:46
daffy__wafflejock, cool.. well, im my opn is way to long to move from left to right just to close or minimize something using mouse03:46
Taymonakik: From which directory?03:47
edtoast_46JOIN #toastirc please.03:47
akikTaymon: / is good03:48
daffy__wafflejock, what gui do u use?03:48
wafflejockdaffy__: interesting, yeah sorry I don't have a solution for ya though, I basically see the opposite as an advantage too though like I don't want to accidentally be clicking those buttons so I want them far away :) I use Gnome03:48
Taymonakik: ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not setup properly03:48
akikTaymon: try changing to your normal user account first03:49
Taymonakik: How do I do that?03:51
akikTaymon: su - username03:52
daffy__wafflejock, thats true either, but the design is so clean and bigger.. dependind the size of your monitor03:52
Taymonakik: No passwd entry for user 'taymonbeal'03:52
Taymonakik: I'm on a live flash drive.03:52
akikTaymon: ok try "su username"03:52

Taymonwc: standard input: Input/output error Inserted auth tok with sig [7a0d6cd2e4d732db] into the user session keyring fopen: No such file or directory03:53
akikTaymon: here's somebody's blog about recovering the data with a live session http://bodhizazen.net/Tutorials/Ecryptfs#Live03:54
Taymonakik: Yeah, I already tried that approach, it didn't make my data available.03:55
akikTaymon: sorry i'm out of ideas03:55
akikTaymon: maybe it would help to boot the live session dvd04:00
akikTaymon: even though it says it mounted your data at /tmp/ecryptfs.orDMsELX there might be some GUI dependency since there was that .desktop file04:01

Trinityif Java's JAVA_HOME isn't set can I still use Java sometimes?04:29
Nelson1can it ruin it by continously reading and writing on it?04:29
phixNelson1: no, it is good, means fast boot and app opening times04:29
TrinityI know its bad practice, but will some applications still be able to run java?04:30
phixNelson1: SSDs have a life span equiv to magnetic these days.04:30
phixTrinity: yes, most apps can figure out where java is installed04:30
Nelson1phix but people say , they have limited read and write limits?04:30
Nelson1like a flashdrive?04:31
Trinityphix, thanks. an article i'm reading states that I should set the env variable in /etc/environment. some other articles have stated other places. Do you know which i should be storing the path at?04:31
phixNelson1: no read limits, there are re-write limits though, but it is into the hundreds of thousands writes to the same spot on the chip until it stops retaining information, however SSDs these days are good at sharing the load over the entire disc, so you don't ever run into that issues until about 3 - 5 years of operation,  which is the average life span of a magnetic disc04:32
phixTrinity: if you install the Ubuntu java package it will do that for you04:32
phixTrinity: there is a ppa for java04:32
Trinityphix, ah I see.04:32
Trinitydo you know where it set the path?04:32
Trinityjava -version returns the version04:33
Trinitybut echo $JAVA_HOME is empty04:33
phixTrinity: what app is requiring JAVA_HOME to be set?04:33
phixTrinity: I dont have JAVA_HOME set however all of the java applications I use figure out where it is04:33
Trinityphix, no application. Im using IDEA and it auto-detects. I'm just curious where $JAVA_HOME went and how it was set04:34
Bashing-omNelson1: If you do not have a lot of ram, might consider putting /swap on the spinning drive to reduce reading/writing .04:34
phixTrinity: ah ok, IDEA is smart, it knows stuff04:35
phixTrinity: I use IDEA / ADT and PyCharm myself04:35
Trinity:)04:35
Trinityphix, do you have any idea where or how the Java path was set then? or should I test an application that isn't so smart04:35
Trinityas*04:35
Trinitythen again, java -version works04:36
phixTrinity: IDEA probably checks common installation directories based on your OS04:36
Trinityso it must be set somewhere04:36
phix /var/lib/jvm is a common place04:36
phixTrinity: it is probably set in code in IDEA: )04:37

Trinityphix, that still doesn't explain how typing in terminal `java -version` works though :/04:45
Nelson1what's the issue with windows10, a lot of people are complaining about it?04:45
Trinityim fairly new to linux and my assumption from being able to use `java -version` means that `java` has a path or something04:45
Trinityotherwise ubuntu wouldn't understand that command right?04:45

levosuppose i have two usb sticks with live linux distros on them (ubuntu on one and porteous on the other). porteous could boot but ubuntu couldn't. so I copied the files of ubuntu disk into the other usb (replacing with the previous files) this time ubuntu booted but i ran into some squashfs errors. is this due to the procedure i did?07:05
levoor at least could it be?07:05
cereexit07:06
Gallo_levo: it could be. but i'm not sure of the procedure you did07:06
levoGallo_: just copying all the ubuntu files from one usb to the other. supposing the other usb's mbr and things work.07:07
Gallo_that's pretty odd. my favorite way to make a bootable stick is with dd.07:07
Gallo_they usually have the mbr inplace07:08
Gallo_it should also be useful to note that i've not used any other distro's.07:08
levoGallo_: yep i use UUI but this time i wanted things to go quick07:08
Gallo_why not try another way of getting your other distro on the stick that didn't work. perhaps that one is not viable somehow07:09

BotchlaBIt seems this is something other people also experienced.11:05

BotchlaBAsk justatech. :)11:10
BotchlaBIt's their problem, not mine.11:10
Ben64ooh11:11
TJ-justatech: ACPI controls the reboot actions. If it is failing, likely the PC has a buggy BIOS implementation in ACPI DSDT , and we may need to 'teach' the Linux kernel how to work around that.11:11
TJ-For all ACPI issues your first step should be to collect the kernel boot lof "/var/log/dmesg" which will contain, in detail, the discovered ACPI configuration, and pastebin it11:11

TJ-powkie: remember that testdisk may be giving false positives. Those potentially corrupt RAID superblock may actually be data from Linux executables12:10
TJ-powkie: some executables will contain 'template' metadata structures that are written to disk when a RAID member is created, and values filled in12:11
TJ-powkie: if it were GPT you might have had a chance to recover from the 2nd partition table, but with MBR you don't. It looks as if the Windows installer expected the entire disk was for it12:11

ayylmaohello, is there any way I can change router's default DNS address to Google's without using static IP from my router.13:55
bekksayylmao: That depends on your router, and is described in its manual.13:56
ayylmaoI dont want to use google's dns on my router, only on my laptop. It is possible if I use static IP from my router, but thats not what im looking for here.13:57
ayylmaoif I change DNS from connection setting, primary DNS is always the default from router, only secondary DNS changes, which is no good.13:58
nickzJackevansevo: any idea13:58

bekksayylmao: In the setting of your connection in NetworkManager you can specify your desired DNS servers.14:00
ayylmaobekks: problem is, i can't change it. I have to use static IP to change it. It is not a router's issue you see, you can use any router you want. You can't use dynamic IP from router.14:01

diegoaguilarits ok with LTS14:43
Miaikonia, but when I do a full install it's not slow like persistent install14:44
diegoaguilarits a really nice computer14:44
Miait was totally fine14:44
ikoniaMia: because it's not being held in ram14:44

Miaikonia, then I should not do persistent install :)14:44

MiaSo back to my question: how can I make a full install on a usb stick, and partition it in a way that windows can also access the usb14:44
Mia(at least partly)14:44
ikoniaMia: as I've told you 3 times14:45
ikoniaMia:  you need a partition not part of the install, that both ubuntu and windows can see, eg: fat3214:45
desktop-linuxok next question, an simpel grafikhik editor14:45
Miaikonia, ikonia can ubuntu see ntfs14:45
sander_Mia: you make two partitions on the usb drive, one ext3/4, one ntfs/fat. you install linux on the ext partition14:46
ikoniaMia: yes14:46
sander_Mia: if you choose FAT, remember that there will be a maximum file size limit14:46

cfhowlettMia, I believe so15:46
rts-TJ- that must be what occurs when i type 'startx'... but when i run lightdm i actually get a graphical login prompt, so the Xserver is running then no?15:46
Miaokay thank you very much! I'll try this now!15:46
TJ-rts-:  nothing there either; no back-up xorg.conf... so now lets look at "pastebinit /var/log/dmesg"15:46
OerHeksrts-, startx is depreciated, i guess.15:46
TJ-rts-: yes, it's using the FBDEV... but unity/gnome want accelerate 3D rendering via DRI, and it isn't there, so the server shuts down15:47
rts-TJ- http://paste.ubuntu.com/12151472/15:47
prohobothx OerHeks15:48
rts-ah, when i had the gnome desktop installed i could get it to load, then load unity, but it was messy15:48

ioriafrenda, depends ... check /tmp for example19:16
jeffreylevesquecould someone interpret this for me: Without the 'task' keyword, the events that cause the job to start will be unblocked as soon as the job is started. This means the job has emitted a starting(7) event, run its pre-start, begun its script/exec, and post-start, and emitted its started(7) event.19:16
jeffreylevesquein terms of upstart scripts19:16
jeffreylevesquewhat's the significance of blocking jobs, relative to the init script?19:17
akikfrenda: Only the owner of the mount may read or write these files. http://fuse.sourceforge.net/doxygen/19:17
jeffreylevesquehow does it make the script last longer, or shorter?19:17
ioriafrenda, usually is that because the user need to write or read from them19:18

Trying to install ubuntu 14.04 on a RAID 1 4TB drive, it installs correct, but I get "no boot device available", If I use grub from a different disk,i can boot from the disk successfully, I've tried boot-repair to fix the grub on the disk, yet the same thing happened after a reboot, i currently have20:00

AldenIsZenHello! Can I possibly get some assistance withgetting connected to the internet? I am running an ubuntu based distro called Trisquel. I can access the internet with a live CD, and I was was able to access with this install.20:01
AldenIsZenSomething obviously isn't configured correctly.20:01
MonkeyDusticecube45  raid is server technology... is that a server? if yes, better ask in #ubuntu-server20:02
tgm4883!Trisquel20:02
jack_Running freya right now, anyone got any tips or tricks?20:02
MonkeyDustAldenIsZen  triquel is too different from ubuntu, it's not supported here20:02
AldenIsZenok, ty. I think it's just a configuration issue, something any linux knowledgable person could probably help me track down.20:04
plytroMonkeyDust: raid is not a server technology20:04
plytroit just started there20:04
MonkeyDustAldenIsZen  ##linux for general linux questions20:04
AldenIsZenty MonkeyDust20:04
plytroI haven't run a desktop without at least raid 1 in over 10 years20:05
icecube45plytro:as far as i know20:07
icecube45MonkeyDust:nah mate, desktop20:07
AldenIsZenplytro, I guess the advantage of that is that if you lose a hard disk you still are up and running?20:07
plytroyes20:08
icecube45plytro:where should it be intalled20:08
icecube45as far as i know it has been installed correctly20:08
plytroand if you do a raid 6(I think) a stripe of mirrors, you get better performance than a single disk alone20:09
bekksplytro: RAID6 with less than 4 disks is pretty - nonsense :)20:09
Jeeves_Mosshow do I launch a screen session with a command running in that screen, then have that screen session die after the program is done running?20:11
plytrobekks: well of course20:11
tgm4883 Jeeves_Moss why would you want to do that?20:11
plytrobekks: I was unsure if 6 was a stripe of mirrors or a mirror of stripes20:11
plytrocan't recall or be bothered to look now20:11
bekksplytro: RAID is neither a stripe of mirrors (which would be 01) nor a mirror of stripes (which is 10).20:12
bekksplytro: RAID6^20:12
plytrohence my (I think) after the number20:12
Jeeves_Mossplytro, RAID 6 is dual parity20:12
plytroah there we go20:12
tgm4883anyway....20:13
Jeeves_Mossplytro, you can loose 2 disks and still limp along.  but do NOT replace both dead drives at the same time.  wait until the first drive is rebuilt.  (don't ask how I know that one)20:13
akikJeeves_Moss: just tested and it's just "screen ftp" or "screen top". quit the program and screen dies too20:13
MonkeyDustJeeves_Moss  use screen -m like    screen -m [command]20:13
AldenIsZenlol, well that sounds like overkill for me, to have 4 disks running just so I get better performance. It just ain't that serious at this point.20:13
plytroJeeves_Moss: we had two drives in a 3 disk raid 5 die within 10 minues of each other20:14
plytro:(20:14
bekksplytro: Thats why RAID isnt a backup20:14
AldenIsZenplytro, tempature issue?20:14
Jeeves_Mossyea yea, thanks Dell tech support.20:14
plytroAldenIsZen: partial stupidity issue and just age20:15
tgm4883Also, proper drive rotation should fix that20:15
plytrothis was about 15 years ago though20:15
AldenIsZenyea a lot has changed since then.20:15
MonkeyDustJeeves_Moss  i use screen -m for my backup script20:15
plytroit was an external raid enclosure running with MacOS 8 or 920:15
Jeeves_Mossplytro, it's only a Mac, no harm, no foul20:15
plytrotgm4883: drive rotation?????20:17
plytrowe've played with fire far too long at my current employer20:17
plytrobut we upgrade the prod servers every 5 years or so and rotate them down for QA environments20:18
tgm4883plytro: yea, fixes the age issue. But of course costs more. Starting with all new drives sounds like a good idea, but then they are all 5 years old at the same time20:18
plytrowhere failures are more acceptable20:18
plytrothen the whole machine gets unracked and stuck in a pile 5 years after that20:19
tgm4883plytro: so the idea is to force a drive out after X amount of time and replace with a new drive20:19
tgm4883plytro: so you force 1 our every 6 months until all the drives are different ages20:20
tgm4883of course that means you need to have that many extra drives, which is more costly20:20
plytrotgm4883: oh I get what rotation is20:21
tgm4883plytro: or you could have raid 6 with hot spares. That would probably be fine too20:21
plytrothe ???? was more the thought~ of suggesting it anywhere I've worked20:21

TJ-Bootable RAID also depends on the metadata version; later (default) versions put the metadata where the bootloader wants to be... specifically, need to use 0.90/1.00 metadata with RAID1 if the RAID devices need to be bootable21:39

OerHeksnew_guest, that lib265 is in development, so any cruft is likely, did you logout/login since then?21:44
icecube45TJ-:trying to intsall to a hardware raid 1 - installs fine, but i get no boot device found.if i use another install's grub to launch it, it will boot21:44
=== ViCi is now known as Taci
new_guestOerHeks: I have rebooted21:44
TJ-icecube45: OK, if it is *true* hardware RAID1 (i.e. The BIOS/bootloader/OS only see 1 device) then there is no problem21:44
TJ-icecube45: However... to boot from such a device it must have a BIOS/UEFI Option ROM that provides boot services to the BIOS/UEFI firmware21:45
icecube45TJ- it is truly hardware raid - only one device21:45
TJ-icecube45: OK, so my 2nd comment applies21:45
icecube45TJ-: what do you mean by that?21:45
AvatarAnew_guest, I just connected so can't see all the chat. what doesn't work in totem? are you by any chance trying to play mp4?21:46
TJ-icecube45: usually when you boot a system with a hardware RAID adapter, during POST you'll see messages from the RAID adapter's Option ROM. That ROM will have a hot-key you can use to configure the array, and should also provide PnP boot services to the system BIOS, so the system BIOS boot-manager can use it as a boot device21:47
icecube45TJ- it is set as a bios boot device, and the raid card's bios is set to boot off of the array21:47
TJ-icecube45: OK... so in theory that is enough. What do you see when the system boots (flashing cursor top-left, "No Operating System" message, etc.) ?21:48
icecube45TJ-: I get the message,  "No boot device found. Press any key to reboot the machine"21:49
TJ-icecube45: OK... that tells us the System BIOS is likely calling the adapter's PnP (Plug and Play) Option ROM bootstrap code, but that code isn't identifying a boot sector and is returning control to the System BIOS.21:50
new_guestAvatarA: I was able to play any video files including h.264 with totem, I have installed lib265 bu it freezed my sistem, i have removed it and now tetem can play only audio files, and asks me21:50
TJ-icecube45: So, the next question is... what disk label format is on the RAID array - is it MBR or GPT?21:50
reisioanybody witnessed morituri working at all?21:50
MonkeyDust!info morituri21:50
ubottumorituri (source: morituri): CD ripper aiming for maximum quality. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.3-1 (vivid), package size 101 kB, installed size 664 kB21:50
icecube45TJ-: that's what i thought, GPT (4TB)21:50
TJ-icecube45: Many BIOS cannot work with GPT21:51
new_guestAvatarA: asks me the matroska demuxer but i have the libav installed and i was able to play it before21:51
TJ-icecube45: Did you configure the RAID device with a hybrid GPT/MBR ?21:51
MonkeyDustreisio  try Asunder, or ripperX, or, on the comand line, jack -Q -R21:51
icecube45TJ- At least i assume it's GPT due to the size21:51
icecube45TJ- no?21:51
TJ-icecube45: OK... I strongly suspect configuring a hybrid MBR/GPT will solve your issue21:52
icecube45TJ- the array can boot if i use grub on a different disk21:52
reisioMonkeyDust: morituri has a specific purpose beyond simply getting audio from a disc, alas21:52
icecube45TJ-: how can I setup the hybrid thing?21:52
TJ-icecube45: Use the 'gdisk' tool, advanced options21:54
TJ-icecube45: first you need to identify which partition(s) should be in the hybrid MBR21:54
TJ-icecube45: did you assign 1 partition for /boot/ ?21:54
icecube45TJ-:I used automatic partitioning21:55
icecube45TJ-: so i have bios_grub, swap, and a ext421:55
TJ-icecube45: can you "pastebinit <( parted unit s print )"21:55
TJ-icecube45: if you have an 0xef02 BIOS boot partition, that makes things much easier21:56
TJ-icecube45: typo! can you "pastebinit <( sudo parted unit s print /dev/sdX )"  where X is the device21:56
TJ-icecube45: also, if it isn't too late. With large disks I'd always recommend using LVM rather than a static file-system. With LVM you can assign, grow, shrink, snapshot volumes at will21:57
icecube45TJ- im just going to use a seprate disk for grub21:58
icecube45My mind is burnt out on this21:58
goddardwhen I connect an xbox one controller to my computer it locks up my system.21:58

JustSighDudesCan someone in plain english explain what the difference between bashrc and profile and bash_profile22:00
MonkeyDustreisio  i installed it, still figuring out how it works22:00
JustSighDudesIs there a file that gets read by all shells instead of login and/or interactive22:00
reisioMonkeyDust: oh thanks :)22:00
icecube45TJ-: I do have a bios boot partition22:00
TJ-icecube45: No. A hybrid MBR simply means that you can assign up to 3 partitions that are assigned in the GPT, to the MBR as well. So what you need to is to assign the BIOS-boot partition so it is also in the MBR... that way the BIOS boot services will be able to use it22:01
reisioMonkeyDust: you need a CD, of course, then try any of these: rip offset find; rip drive analyze; rip cd rip; rip cd rip -U22:01
QuestGood Night22:01
icecube45TJ-: really?... alright, let me do that whole pastebinit thing22:01
Questi need help22:01
reisioMonkeyDust: IME the application does almost nothing reliably, but I'd like a second opinion22:01
Questmy dpkg is corrupted22:01
TJ-icecube45: basically, the definitions of up to 3 partitions are in the MBR and GPT. The 4th MBR partition slot protects the remainder of the disk from accidental use, the same as a protective MBR does22:01
Questhow i fix it22:02

MonkeyDustreisio  i'm happy with what i suggested earlier22:04
caliculkHey, when restoring a ubuntu installation from archived files, (including /var) should you remove the apt entries so nothing is screwed up when you try to reinstall apps?22:04
TJ-icecube45: actually, this: "pastebinit <( sudo parted /dev/sdX unit s print )"  where X is the RAID device22:04
reisioMonkeyDust: --unknown (-U) actually uses the builtin freedb support which is way superior to musicbrainz, but... it still barely works with that, IME22:04
reisioI wonder if I can use -U with every last 'rip' command...22:05
* reisio tries22:05
reisiocaliculk: why woudl someting be screwed u?22:07
reisiosomething*22:07
caliculkSorry, readign that again, it doesn't make very much sense. I archived my files and reinstalled the OS, and am now trying to restore that archive. However, I am curious that if I restore the files pertaining to apt it may screw something up on the new install. Is it better to remove the apt folder and files and start from scratch in this situation?22:07
icecube45TJ- still booting livecd..22:07
caliculkreisio: not sure, just want to make sure it wouldn't screw up by thinking any apps are previously installed or something.22:07

TJ-icecube45: Ah, OK... that just gives alignment a knock22:17
icecube45TJ- gotta reintall grub tho, right?22:17
TJ-icecube45: Yes. first you need to use gdisk's advanced menu to copy partition #1 into the hybrid MBR22:17
Jeeves_Mosshow do I launch a screen session, and run a command in that screen (detached)?22:18

TJ-icecube45: OK, so we can install grub via a chroot22:22
icecube45TJ- ok, how?22:23
TJ-icecube45: Or, you can do your alternate boot device boot once, and do "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" from that installed system22:23
Jeeves_MossPOGtastic, nope.  I need to launch a file move in a screen session (with a name), and have it detach.  Once the move is done, I need it to pull down the screen it just made22:23
icecube45TJ- can't i just intsall boot-repair?22:23
TJ-icecube45: Probably quicker to do the alternate boot than use the Live ISO22:23
icecube45TJ- huh?22:24
TJ-icecube45: It's overkill for this, and might change things we don't want it to22:24

WACOMaltworked after doing sudo mount -a, but no longer22:33
WACOMaltafter a reboot22:33
TJ-icecube45: that's strange. That should be sufficient, although doesn't the boot device show up as /dev/sda in that case, and the RAID as /dev/sdb ? In grub terms the RAID/Linux should root be (hd1,2)22:34
icecube45TJ- the boot disk is attatched via usb22:35

TJ-icecube45: I'd try using the GRUB command line, you have full control then. Press 'c'22:36
TJ-icecube45: now type "ls" and it'll list all the mass storage devices22:36
icecube45TJ- uno momento22:36
TJ-icecube45: then you need to discover which is the RAID. You can do things like ls (hd0,2)/" to list the root directory, or "ls (hd0,2)/boot/" or even "cat (hd0,2)/etc/issue" - assuming (hd0) is the RAID device.22:37
new_guestOk guys i have solved my problem. I have re-installed libde265 and now totem can play my 264 videos. It doesn't have any sense because it was able to play those videos without libde265, before  my decision to install it and than remove it  cause it freezed my system playing 265 video. So thank yall.22:38
TJ-icecube45: the RAID device has 3 partitions so 'ls' should show something like "(hd0,1) (hd0,2) (hd0,3)"22:38
dasmadchenHi could you help me telling me what's the difference between the logs generated as *.log and the ones as *.log.1 ?22:41
TJ-dasmadchen: the numbered logs are the older files that have been rotated out by logrotate22:42
siscclim not sure but don’t you start getting *.log.1 etc. once they are full for rotation22:42
TJ-dasmadchen: logrotate will compress even older logs with gzip too22:42
icecube45TJ- it's hd122:42
icecube45i mean22:42
icecube45hd022:42
TJ-icecube45: I thought it would be, but you can't always be sure since the BIOS controls the drive numbering22:43
icecube45TJ- how do i launch it22:43
scott606I downloaded ccsm trying to get the cool cube going .. and now when i start the cube my origional background doesnt dissapear and as i rotate it blurs the cube like snapshotting as i turn22:44
scott606I sat everything back to default and it still does the snapshotting.. it didnt do it till i was poking around in the settings22:44
TJ-icecube45: OK, so we should be able to boot from it directly with "set prefix=(hd0,2)/boot"   and "set root=(hd0,2)"  and then "insmod normal" then "normal"22:44
TJ-icecube45: If that works, the grub menu that comes up is from the RAID device22:45
icecube45TJ-: thats not working22:46
icecube45set prefix that is22:46
icecube45"not an assignment"22:46
TJ-icecube45: hang on, I may have the syntax wrong. I'm firing up a GRUB VM22:46
icecube45was my bad22:46
icecube45typed it wrong22:46
icecube45TJ- k, i did those commands22:47
icecube45TJ- reboot to the grub menu?22:47
TJ-icecube45: I should have said that it ought to be  (hd0,msdos2)   too, since we have both MBR and GPT, GRUB may need to know which to read22:47
icecube45oh22:47
icecube45so22:47
icecube45do it again?22:47
icecube45but with hd(0,msdos2) rather than hd(0,2)22:47
icecube45?22:47
TJ-icecube45: when you do "normal" ... that should load the GRUB menu. if it doesn't, then GRUB isn't loading its config from the RAID device22:48
icecube45normal didnt do anything22:48
TJ-icecube45: Yes, I gave you the wrong syntax for root... it should be "set root=hd0,msdos2"22:48
TJ-icecube45: as in, no surrounding ()22:48
icecube45TJ- ls doesnt list a msdos222:49
icecube45TJ- just msdos 1 and msdos522:49
icecube45TJ- the same for set prefix?22:49
TJ-icecube45: hmmm... OK, I wonder if GRUB is only reading the MBR.22:50
TJ-icecube45: no, prefix uses the () ... that's why I got confused!22:50
icecube45TJ-: idk..22:50
icecube45TJ-:k..22:50
icecube45TJ-:so, set prefix=hd(0,msdos2)/boot ?22:51
TJ-icecube45: msdos5 suggests that is a logical partition in an extended device. That doesn't match what you have on the RAID. Are you sure that isn't the alternate disk you're booted from?22:51
r1k1_maybe go for ubuntu live usb stick and use this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair22:51
icecube45TJ- i dont even know anymore22:51
icecube45TJ- its the grub of the alternate disk..22:51
TJ-icecube45: If hd0 was the RAID we'd either see the hybrid MBR entries, or the GPT entries. which would be numbered 1-2 or 1-322:52
TJ-icecube45: I expected you to see a hd1 as well, which would be the RAID device.22:52
TJ-icecube45: In grub, when you do 'ls' it scans for mass storage devices and lists them22:53
icecube45ls has this22:54
icecube45(hd0) (hd0,msdos5) (hd0, msdos1) (hd1)22:54
TJ-icecube45: ha! (hd1) ... I bet we just need to 'insmod' additional modules22:55
icecube45k22:55
icecube45what do i do22:55
r1k1_sudo update-grub or that boor repair?22:56
TJ-icecube45: let's double check where GRUB is from. type "set" and look at the list of variables, in particular cmdpath22:56
r1k1_not sure dont listen mee bit drunk22:56
icecube45hd022:56
icecube45TJ-22:56
TJ-icecube45: OK, hd0 is the alternate disk. Let's try "insmod nativedisk" and then "ls" again22:57
icecube45no change22:57
TJ-icecube45: that may fail since we changed prefix/root and we may have to reset them to their original values22:57
icecube45TJ- i already rebooted22:57
icecube45if it doesnt persist that is22:57
TJ-icecube45: OK, it doesnt, so 'set' is showing the default values22:57
icecube45yea22:57
icecube45no change with that insmod22:58
TJ-icecube45: so I'm guessing you have "prefix=(hd0,msdos5)/boot/grub" or similar22:58
icecube45ye22:58
icecube45msdos1 tho22:58
TJ-icecube45: OK, that makes sense. So we want (hd1) to also show (hd1,gptX) X=1,2,322:59
icecube45ye23:00
TJ-icecube45: "insmod part_gpt" and then "ls"23:00
icecube45got it23:01
TJ-icecube45:  :)23:01
icecube45now what23:01
TJ-icecube45: OK, so Linux is on partition 223:01
icecube45k23:01
icecube45so do root and prefix again but with hd1,gpt2 ?23:02
TJ-icecube45: so lets be 100$ certain we can see the GRUB files before we change those23:02
TJ-icecube45: "ls (hd1,gpt2)/boot/grub/"23:02
TJ-icecube45: you should see 'grub.cfg' and 'i386-pc/" and others23:03
icecube45i see stuff that says grub23:03
icecube45yea23:03
TJ-icecube45: Yay!23:03
icecube45so now what23:03
TJ-icecube45: OK "set prefix=(hd1,gpt2)/boot/grub" and "set root=hd1,gpt2" and then "insmod normal" then "normal"23:04
icecube45grub menu!23:04
icecube45now what23:04
TJ-icecube45:  Finally :D23:04
TJ-icecube45: boot Ubuntu!23:04
icecube45the very first one?23:04
icecube45there are two sets of options23:05
TJ-icecube45: That should be the boot menu from the RAID device so yes23:05
icecube45well23:05
TJ-icecube45: if not sure, press 'e' whilst an entry is highlighted and check it23:05
icecube45i tried the first "Ubuntu"23:05
icecube45wrong one it seems23:05
icecube45i need to do that all again dont i23:05
TJ-icecube45: When you tried that entry did anything happen? Usually a faulty entry just means GRUB returns to the boot meny23:06
icecube45it booted to the external disk23:06
TJ-icecube45: Oh... oh sod it, let's use a chroot from there!23:07
TJ-icecube45: dont' reboot. get a terminal open23:07
icecube45Too late23:07
icecube45:P23:07
* TJ- laughs ... I'm going to go make a strong coffee!23:07
icecube45TJ- two seconds23:09
icecube45TJ- ready for chrooting23:09
TJ-icecube45: OK identify the RAID device: "lsblk"23:10
icecube45got it23:11
icecube45mounted in /media23:11
icecube45sda223:11
TJ-icecube45: what's the mountpoint path?23:11
icecube45media/user/longassstringgoeshere23:11
TJ-icecube45: let's make things easier. "udisksctl unmount --block-device /dev/sda2" ... that should remove that user mount23:12
icecube45done23:12
TJ-icecube45: Use "mount | grep sda2" to ensure its gone, then: "sudo mkdir /target  && sudo mount /dev/sda2 /target"23:13
icecube45done23:13
TJ-icecube45: then "for n in proc/ sys/ dev/ /dev/pts etc/resolv.conf; do sudo mount --bind /$n /target/$n; done"23:14
TJ-icecube45: then "chroot /target"23:14
TJ-icecube45: Then, finally, "grub-install /dev/sda" ... hopefully that won't report any problems!23:14
icecube45you mean /etc/resolv.conf?23:14
TJ-icecube45: no, leave off the initial / for those paths23:15
TJ-icecube45: the mount --bind command inserts the / in the right places23:15
icecube45done with that command23:16
icecube45chrooting now23:16
icecube45chrooted23:16
Dekker3DHey all23:16
icecube45installing grub..23:16
icecube45no error reported23:16
icecube45TJ-.. reboot?23:16
TJ-icecube45: "update-grub"23:16
a_led ubuntu mini.iso with lxde desktop...after this i install gnome networkmanager but i cant see it in lx panel23:17
icecube45updating grub23:17
icecube45done23:17
icecube45reboot?23:17
TJ-icecube45: then "exit" and reboot and hope :)23:17
icecube45here goes nothing23:17
Dekker3DEver since I got my current mobo, I haven't been able to install Linux on my pc. I suspect UEFI. But either way, I could use some help trying to finally get Linux on this thing. I'm starting to miss it.23:17
a_i have installed ubuntu mini.iso with lxde desktop...after this i install gnome networkmanager but i cant see it in lx panel23:17
icecube45No boot device found23:18
icecube45I hate this23:18
TJ-icecube45: that makes no sense now23:19
icecube45TJ- didn't make sense before, continues not to make sense23:20
TJ-icecube45: it did make sense originally, because there was no MBR entries the BIOS could find23:20
icecube45TJ- I think this bios supports gpt tho..23:20
TJ-icecube45: there's one other possibility... some BIOS boot routines are very particular and require the MBR partition with the boot code to have its boot flag set23:21
Dekker3DCurrent situation is: I have a Windows 7 install. I have tried to use LinuxLive USB Creator to make a bootable usb stick of the 64-bit and 32-bit versions of the latest Ubuntu.23:21
icecube45TJ- how can i do that..23:21
Dekker3D32-bit and 64-bit both failed in different ways.23:21
TJ-icecube45: the system BIOS might, but the RAID adapter option ROM might not23:21
nas_hi new join23:21
TJ-icecube45: use 'fdisk', or from grub use the parttool module23:21
icecube45TJ- how i do23:21
wileeeDekker3D, Have you checked the md5sum on either ios's or disks/usb's you've used?23:22
icecube45TJ- what about gparted?23:22
wileeeiso's*23:22
TJ-icecube45: Yes, any partitioning tool... provided it lets you focus on the MBR... things like gparted will usually pick the GPT, not the MBR23:22
icecube45k, fdisk command?23:23
Dekker3Dwileee, I haven't. But I downloaded the 64 bit version off the Ubuntu website, while the 32 bit version was automatically downloaded. It's pretty much the same problem I've had every time I tried to get Ubuntu on this machine, as far as I remember.23:23
TJ-icecube45: yes23:23
icecube45TJ- what is it?23:23
Dekker3DI'll see if I can figure out how to md5sum on windows23:23
icecube45TJ- the command that is23:23
wileeeDekker3D, Which we have yet to actually hear described, get to that point. ;)23:24
Dekker3Dwileee, I didn't want to spam this chat while nobody seemed to be listening :P23:24
TJ-icecube45: "sudo fdisk /dev/sda" then the 'p' to see the current state. Does it show the boot flag set (a *) next to the bios_boot partition?23:24
wileeeDekker3D, You already have, slowness does not mean lack of support, you second guessing yourself into a corner.23:25
Dekker3DOn 32 bit, it would simply open up the shell. Unity, I think? I could mess around, it was a bit slow due to running from usb, but yeah. Normal live usb behaviour. Except the installation utility would just hang.23:25
OerHeks!md5sum23:25
ubottuTo verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows23:25
icecube45TJ- no, the star is next to the ext4 partition23:25
Dekker3DThe installation utility had 7 dots, indicating 7 steps, it seems. The first step was fine. Second step was skipped, it seems, as it went straight to third.23:25
mranonymousI exited apt-get upgrade so that it's still running in the background. How to get into back into this process from shell?23:26
squintyDekker3D, winmd5sum   freebie23:26
Dekker3DIt mentioned a disk (sdd and some number, don't remember) being mounted and asking to unmount23:26
TJ-icecube45: OK... that *may* be the issue then. use the 'a' option to toggle the boot flag so it is on the bios_boot partition23:26
Dekker3DI clicked yes, and then it just got stuck in the next step. "preparing to install" or something.23:26
icecube45TJ- done23:26
Dekker3DI let it sit for an hour, and nothing changed23:26
icecube45TJ- i'm also noticing.. the ext4 is efi?23:26
wileeeDekker3D, very little of this is relevant, you need to stop and answer questions if asked.23:26
Dekker3DIt wasn't frozen, I could still click the close button and close the installer without breaking anything else.23:26
Dekker3DOh, sorry.23:27
TJ-icecube45: strictly though, any partition with a boot flag set should be sufficient. So I'm beginning to think there's a PERC issue here23:27
TJ-icecube45: really? can you show me? I'd expect the protective partition to end "ee GPT"23:27
icecube45TJ- let me pastebin23:27
Dekker3DThe 64 bit version had an actual error message, whether I tried to run from live usb or install directly. It mentioned not having a mountable disk, I think. Anyway, I'll check the md5sum first.23:27
mranonymousguys, how to enter a process that's in the background without installing anything?23:28
icecube45TJ- http://paste.ubuntu.com/12163818/23:28
squintyDekker3D, http://www.nullriver.com/products/winmd5sum23:28
icecube45TJ- wait.. is that swap?23:29
TJ-icecube45: Ohhhhh! 1 and 4 are protectives; 2 is the boot partition :)23:29
icecube45TJ- ok?.. so set flag back to 2?23:29
TJ-icecube45: remember this is a hybrid MBR, it contains protective entries and actual partitions23:29
TJ-icecube45: Yup :)23:29
TJ-icecube45: in which case, this points to some issue with the PERC boot ROM23:30
icecube45Yup23:30
icecube45Or something23:30
icecube45urgh23:30
icecube45idek23:30
snowkidindweird weird weird23:30
Dekker3DI used http://winmd5.com/ to run an md5sum. Both the 32 and 64 bit isos match the sums listed at http://releases.ubuntu.com/15.04/MD5SUMS23:30
TJ-icecube45: It's not that unusual. I'm working with Super Talent/Asmedia to fix a bug in a PCIe SSD with a boot ROM that has a similar issue. Except in this case it completely hangs the system at boot time23:31
icecube45TJ- ah.. well.. im stuck23:31
icecube45let me see if there are updates to the rom and shit23:31
=== MeltedLux is now known as Keepo
snowkidindi bought a monitor switcher for three machines to one monitor. The machines are all DVI but i convert them to HDMI and the switcher is HDMI. The two non- ubuntu boxes work. The ubuntu box only works if another box is turned on.23:31
=== Keepo is now known as MeltedLux
snowkidindany ideas?23:32
TJ-icecube45: If I had hands-on I'd be able to sort that out quickly, but being remote... it makes the task 10x harder... can't use behavioural clues and intuition23:32
TJ-icecube45: if you had a network KVM :)23:32

icecube45thanks for all the help TJ-23:34
MonkeyDustmranonymous  "enter a process from shell"?23:35
mranonymousmonkey, process is in the background, i need to get into it23:35
MonkeyDustmranonymous  did you send it to background with ctrl-z? then you need to type fg23:36
MonkeyDustmranonymous  if it started as a daemon, then i don't know23:37
=== Oiu is now known as Guest2227
Dekker3Dwileee, any ideas? Or did I miss a question I'm supposed to answer?23:37
mranonymousmonkey, i pressed ctrl-c when i was in apt-get upgrade and it's still running23:38
MonkeyDustmranonymous  ctrl-c stops a process... where do you see it running?23:39
mranonymousmonkey, i pressed it while i was checking difference between files to replace, it exited, but process is still running23:41
mranonymousmonkey, in background23:41
MonkeyDustmranonymous  where do you see that?23:41
mranonymousmonkey, in sudo ps x23:42
MonkeyDustmranonymous  mranonymous does 'jobs' show something? normally that's used after you typed ctrl-z23:42
