| squidly | antonio_: ?? | 00:15 |
| MichaelHabib | squidly: ty, the business name is more about how others see it so your opinion is very valuable. | 00:15 |
| squidly | MichaelHabib: Very true | 00:16 |
| MichaelHabib | squidly: what about Cleverbiz | 00:17 |

| zakariaqadomi | hi | 00:44 |
| bxx | I had to patch /etc/grub.d/10_linux ; what can I do to protect this patched file from updates ? | 00:45 |
| rasusto | hello all. Can someone help me? I'm trying to compile gnu screen from source | 00:47 |
| somsip | rasusto: why? | 00:47 |
| rasusto | I'm trying to install it locally on a machine where I don't have root | 00:47 |
| somsip | rasusto: compiling is not normally support here but maybe it's a simple issue. What's the problem? | 00:48 |
| rasusto | I run ./configure and there is a dependency error for something called tgetent. I googled it and it's in a package called termcap. The thing is, I don't have root and I don't know to to install that package locally so I can compile | 00:51 |
| somsip | rasusto: I'd recommend contacting your sysadmin | 00:52 |
| auk | rasusto: i hear there's also linuxbrew that might help your problem | 00:52 |
| auk | rasusto: homebrew but for linux, facilitates non-root installs | 00:53 |
| auk | rasusto: http://brew.sh/linuxbrew/ | 00:53 |
| auk | rasusto: of course, your machine root needs to already have the dependencies... including ruby | 00:55 |
| rasusto | auk: just gave it a shot, no ruby unfortunately. Trying the git install now... | 00:56 |
| petypeyt | rasusto: yep | 00:57 |
| OerHeks | but you don't have root .. | 00:57 |
| petypeyt | auk: done | 00:57 |
| auk | petypeyt: huh? | 00:58 |
| petypeyt | auk: you did fix it | 01:01 |
| radiel892 | trying to get nvidia working right, lightdm login bouncing back to login screen so i uninstalled lightdm and running startx manually, here is the output i get http://termbin.com/wal0 | 01:01 |
| radiel892 | nvidia driver loads from single user mode but not normal boot, /dev/dri/card0 exists but not card1 mentioned in the error | 01:01 |
| petypeyt | radiel892: nvidia | 01:02 |
| petypeyt | So auk is it done | 01:04 |
| OerHeks | radiel892, uninstalled lightdm, then what dm do you use ? | 01:04 |
| OerHeks | just curious | 01:04 |
| radiel892 | OerHeks, none i think, just trying to get more info out of X stderr, will reinstall the dm after X is working | 01:04 |
| rasusto | auk: still depends on ruby | 01:04 |
| auk | rasusto: yeah, it's written in ruby i think | 01:06 |
| petypeyt | auk: no it's is | 01:06 |
| auk | rasusto: you could maybe try just downloading a screen binary | 01:06 |
| rasusto | I would be very surprised if there wasn't a way to download the dependency tarball and compile against that | 01:06 |
| === hugegree_ is now known as hugegreenbug | ||
| auk | maybe | 01:07 |
| somsip | rasusto: prepare to be surprised. There is a reason why your sysadmin does not want you to have root | 01:07 |
| rasusto | I don't know where to extract it, or if the configure script would be able to find it unless I change it myself | 01:07 |
| somsip | rasusto: you would normall use configure --prefix=~/some/install/path | 01:08 |
| rasusto | somsip: does that add /some/install/path to the list of places the configure script looks? or does that only look in that directory then? | 01:10 |
| somsip | rasusto: it installs the compiled software to that path. But I think this could be futile for what you need - dependency hell could not be far away. Speak to your sysadmin and ask for screen to be installed | 01:11 |
| rasusto | somsip, auk my new approach is to compile a static executable and copy it to the other machine | 01:30 |
| somsip | rasusto: could just download the deb and extract it... | 01:31 |
| auk | and hope it runs :) | 01:31 |
| guest88481 | to configure a firewall in ubuntu what is the difference between configuring iptables or ufw? | 01:32 |
| rasusto | somsip: debs are compiled but still linked against shared libraries. Those libraries are missing on the target system. Hence, the static executable | 01:32 |
| somsip | rasusto: fair enough | 01:32 |
| somsip | guest88481: ufw is an easyier front end to iptables | 01:32 |
| guest88481 | is iptables more powerful? | 01:33 |
| jellow | can't you just use nohup ? | 01:33 |
| bazhang | gufw somsip | 01:33 |
| bazhang | !info gufw | 01:33 |
| ubottu | gufw (source: gui-ufw): graphical user interface for ufw. In component universe, is optional. Version 15.04.0-0ubuntu1 (vivid), package size 719 kB, installed size 3060 kB | 01:33 |
| guest88481 | is iptables more powerful than ufw? | 01:33 |
| somsip | bazhang: wasn't really the question, but might help the OP | 01:33 |
| bazhang | somsip, front end generally means the gui | 01:34 |
| bazhang | guest88481, try and see | 01:35 |
| bazhang | guest88481, we cannot know what you find easy or difficult | 01:35 |
| guest88481 | i mean does iptables have more configuration options than ufw? | 01:35 |
| bazhang | guest88481, what have you tried so far | 01:36 |
| guest88481 | none | 01:36 |
| bazhang | guest88481, so try , decide | 01:36 |
| guest88481 | i dont know which to use so im getting an idea of which i could use | 01:36 |
| guest88481 | i would rather learn the more powerful option even if its hard | 01:36 |
| bazhang | guest88481, use gufw then | 01:36 |
| bazhang | guest88481, we cannot choose for you | 01:37 |
| somsip | bazhang: he only asked what the difference was "to configure a firewall in ubuntu what is the difference between configuring iptables or ufw?" I know you're an op so I'll leave it to you, but this does not read as friendly or helpful | 01:38 |
| CryptoSiD | * * 23 * * /bin/reboot | 01:40 |
| guest88481 | i just wanted to know difference but its cool | 01:40 |
| CryptoSiD | will this crontab reboot every 23 of each month? | 01:40 |
| somsip | guest88481: AIUI, ufw provides a way to create iptable entries in a way that is simpler than issuing iptable commands directly. But I've only ever used ufw so you may need to research more on examples | 01:40 |

| guest88481 | to encrypt a hdd that is not encrypted with ubuntu+windows do i need to wipe the hard drive first before starting encryption? | 01:49 |

| nrdb | I have setup LTSP, but I can't seem to get the terminals printer to work... I set "PRINTER_0_DEVICE = /dev/usb/lp0" ... the terminal has a /dev/usb/lp0 ... the terminal does not have the ipp port open ... the server can't find the terminals printer .... can anyone help? | 01:50 |
| nrdb | guest88481, you don't need to wipe the HDD but you will need a dedicated partition for the encrypted setup. | 01:52 |
| guest88481 | i mean if i want to encrypt the current partition already there | 01:55 |
| guest88481 | the partition with ubuntu | 01:55 |
| nrdb | guest88481, I don't think you can encrypt the data in-place . | 01:57 |
| guest88481 | so a new partition is requred and specific setup(eg filesystem type) is required, correcT? | 01:58 |
| nrdb | guest88481, you might be able to backup -- encrypt -- restore | 01:58 |
| guest88481 | alright, thanks all | 01:58 |

| somsip | t00bs0x_: this is ubuntu support. That sounds like a phone question...? | 02:24 |

| zykotick9 | radiel892: also, have you tried changing the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= line? | 03:56 |
| radiel892 | just the one linux is installed, yes i updated the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line and ran update-grub but it doesn't work | 03:56 |
| zykotick9 | radiel892: what change are you adding, what are you expecting it to do? | 03:57 |
| radiel892 | i am hoping it to add in nomodeset into the boot line, because my graphics card doesn't startx without it | 03:57 |
| radiel892 | it works when i go into grub and 'e' edit the line myself, but i can't make the change permanent | 03:58 |
| zykotick9 | radiel892: are you editing /etc/default/grub with sudo as well? | 03:58 |
| radiel892 | in single user mode, as root # | 03:58 |

| cfhowlett | radiel892, in single user, you can only make temporary/next boot edits, iirc. to make permanent changes, you have to boot into your admin account then sudo the edits | 04:00 |

| purr_ | hi everyone! I am having a bit of a problem that I think should have quick fix but my web searching has not provided a solution. I need to download the kernel source | 04:08 |
| purr_ | I am installing a nvidia driver and it fails becuase it is unable to locate the kernal source | 04:09 |
| cfhowlett | purr_, run the install command and paste: sudo apt-get install foo | nc termbin.com 9999 | 04:10 |
| cfhowlett | report the url | 04:10 |
| purr_ | unable to locate package foo | 04:11 |
| Bashing-om | purr_: (??) . Generally the headers for the kernel are required to build the modulle . The linux-hearders is downloadable from the repo . | 04:11 |
| cfhowlett | purr_, foo is a placeholder for a package name. In other words, replace it with your actual packagename | 04:12 |
| purr_ | I am doing this right now: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual | 04:14 |
| purr_ | Oh okay, sorry about not understanding that. I am not sure what the package name is though because it is packed in the cuda 7 run file | 04:14 |
| purr_ | my computer was missing linux-source thought, so that may have been it. | 04:15 |
| purr_ | I know it is nvidia 446 | 04:16 |
| purr_ | Bashing-om, I have the linux-headers | 04:17 |
| purr_ | Sorry 346.46* | 04:19 |
| purr_ | nope that still did not work | 04:20 |
| purr_ | How would I download the kernel source? | 04:21 |
| Bashing-om | purr_: Show us in a pastebin what you are doing. If you did not have the kernel installed you would not even boot the system . If we can see what you are doing, and the error you are getting we can then help . | 04:23 |

| Bashing-om | purr_: Nvidia graphics drivers are available in the software repository. Are you doing a graphics install the hard way ? | 04:27 |
| purr_ | I am installing the graphics drives that come packaged with cuda 7 to ensure compatibility | 04:28 |
| purr_ | I do have the recently added ppa that has been put out, but it is not working to install cuda | 04:29 |
| Bashing-om | purr_: In the repo ! 'apt-cache search cuda >> libcuda1-346-updates - NVIDIA CUDA runtime library ' . | 04:30 |
| === debian is now known as Guest73522 | ||
| Bashing-om | purr_: Food for thought, if ya stay within the repo then you do not have to yourself manage the driver breakage and updates. The package manager will do all that for you . | 04:33 |
| purr_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/12190361/ | 04:34 |
| purr_ | that is that I did so far | 04:34 |
| Bashing-om | purr_: Look'n at your http://paste.ubuntu.com/12190361/ . | 04:35 |
| purr_ | Bashing-on, I completely agree! I have had success installing cuda via repos on two other computers. This one says that it can not be found so I am doing it manually. | 04:35 |
| Bashing-om | purr_: See if the kernel headers are present ' ls -al /usr/src/ ' for the kernel you are booting ' uname -r ' . | 04:38 |
| purr_ | yes, they are there: 3.13.0-62-generic is in the /usr/src folder and the result of uname -r | 04:40 |
| Bashing-om | purr_: Maybe I am in left field, but direct the cuda installer to that location for the headers ?? | 04:43 |
| purr_ | yeah, I think i will extract the run file and install the driver separately with the path flag | 04:44 |

| gloria | Damn it! I love the way edx.org shows subtitles! --> http://uploadkon.ir/fl/dd/75423 (edx player); Is there any desktop video player with this approach? | 06:08 |
| lotuspsychje | gloria: havent found something like that yet | 06:13 |
| gloria | lotuspsychje: Ah, anyway it's the best way to watch a training video. it allows you to click on a specific subtitle line to repeat it. You can go to a specific part of video very fast. it's interactive! | 06:16 |
| lotuspsychje | gloria: maybe someone knows something like that online, try in #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:17 |
| lotuspsychje | gloria: or maybe you should search for subtitle editors somehow | 06:18 |
| lotuspsychje | gloria: didnt test myself: http://lintut.com/best-subtitle-editors-for-linux/ but seems like it can flood the subs also when you watch video | 06:19 |

| baizon | lotuspsychje: i think its a systemd problem | 07:04 |
| lotuspsychje | baizon: could be, let us know if you find out errors booting | 07:04 |
| lotuspsychje | baizon: check syslog/dmesg logs perhaps aswell? | 07:04 |
| baizon | lotuspsychje: so when i get black screen, press F!? | 07:04 |
| baizon | F1? | 07:04 |
| lotuspsychje | !nomodeset | baizon for black screen maybe | 07:05 |
| ubottu | baizon for black screen maybe: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 07:05 |
| baizon | lotuspsychje: no no, but i dont get it every boot | 07:05 |
| lotuspsychje | baizon: try your logs then | 07:05 |
| baizon | lotuspsychje: ok, will do | 07:05 |
| baizon | lotuspsychje: but will it be logged? i have to hard-reset my system | 07:06 |
| lotuspsychje | baizon: everything that goes wrong should be logged | 07:06 |
| baizon | ok | 07:06 |
| lotuspsychje | baizon: browse your /var/log :p | 07:06 |
| baizon | hmm, but nobody did experience that problem, i have it on both my systems (Workstation & Laptop). | 07:07 |
| lotuspsychje | baizon: not sure mate, investigate deeper until we find errors | 07:08 |
| baizon | ok, thanks lotuspsychje | 07:08 |
| lotuspsychje | baizon: also keep in mind that LTS performs more stable | 07:08 |

| cfhowlett | GAM002, "unsupported" means ... we don't support it. install instructions are on the page. if you need more, contact the package maintainers. | 07:10 |
| GAM002 | cfhowlett: ok | 07:10 |
| lotuspsychje | GAM002: it also shows adding a ppa | 07:11 |
| GAM002 | lotuspsychje: i am trying to install it without adding ppa | 07:11 |
| lotuspsychje | GAM002: you cant install things without a ppa, that needs a ppa | 07:11 |
| lotuspsychje | GAM002: meaning not supported here | 07:11 |
| GAM002 | lotuspsychje: ok | 07:13 |
| GAM002 | sorry for all this noobish qustions cause i am a newbie :) | 07:13 |

| bazhang | where do you see that error message linuxuz3r | 08:20 |
| linuxuz3r | bootstrap | 08:21 |
| linuxuz3r | on boot | 08:21 |
| bazhang | !wifi | kasper have a read first | 08:21 |
| ubottu | kasper have a read first: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 08:21 |
| linuxuz3r | bazhang: are you a ubuntu user | 08:21 |
| linuxuz3r | ok nvm | 08:21 |
| linuxuz3r | time to move on | 08:21 |
| kasper | thanks...but i've done about 24 hours of research :) | 08:21 |
| bazhang | linuxuz3r, yes ofc | 08:21 |
| bazhang | what an odd question | 08:21 |
| kasper | in desperate need of some live support | 08:22 |
| linuxuz3r | i dont want to switch distro i like ubuntu | 08:22 |
| bazhang | kasper, we need the actual chipset | 08:22 |
| kasper | cool hold on | 08:22 |
| kasper | Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6200 | 08:22 |
| kasper | does that help? | 08:22 |
| bazhang | yep | 08:22 |
| kasper | got as far as downloading something...but complete noob so i don want to install firmware without knowing what i am doing | 08:23 |
| bazhang | does ifconfig see it all kasper | 08:23 |
| kasper | jep | 08:23 |
| kasper | there was some command i did in terminal...found it on help site | 08:23 |
| kasper | it recognised the card | 08:23 |
| bazhang | kasper, what scanning for wireless hot spots | 08:23 |
| kasper | but in GUI i cant switch wireless on at all | 08:23 |
| kasper | the button is orange and when i press it it goes to airplane mode | 08:24 |
| bazhang | kasper, is there some sort of hard switch to flip it on and off | 08:24 |
| kasper | jep...but when i press it it ubuntu goes on airplane mode | 08:24 |
| bazhang | kasper, try to toggle that to off then on once the system has started, my notebook has a similar intel wifi chipset | 08:25 |
| kasper | off during boot? | 08:26 |
| adsc | http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=5375732#post5375732 here is an arch thread about your wifi card...it suggests to use rfkill | 08:26 |
| kasper | and then on again when it's completely booted? | 08:26 |
| adsc | it also mentions you need newer kernels for the card to be well supported | 08:26 |
| kasper | i am not farmilliar with terminal at all...i just installed ubuntu to give a 2nd hand laptop a second life :P | 08:27 |
| k1l | kasper: what does "rfkill list" give you? please put all the output into a pastebin and show the link here | 08:27 |
| kasper | http://pastebin.com/v7b4bkzp | 08:29 |
| kasper | <k1l> http://pastebin.com/v7b4bkzp | 08:31 |
| k1l | kasper: seems like its blocked by the hardware switch | 08:32 |
| kasper | yes...but the actual switch triggers airplane mode | 08:32 |
| k1l | kasper: try a "sudo rfkill unblock all" | 08:32 |
| kasper | <k1l> rfkill list gives same output after that command | 08:34 |
| kasper | still blocked | 08:34 |
| bazhang | kasper, start with it on, flick off then back off once started | 08:35 |
| bazhang | back on obviously for the second | 08:36 |
| k1l | kasper: is this a windows dualboot? | 08:36 |
| k1l | is it on in bios? | 08:36 |
| kasper | yes it works in win7 | 08:36 |
| cfhowlett | kasper, dell? | 08:36 |
| kasper | HP | 08:36 |
| kasper | it's a 5 year old HP elitebook 2540p | 08:37 |
| kasper | I read about new laptops having wireless issues in ubuntu...so i thought i was smart by getting a 2nd hand one since windows is just not an option | 08:37 |
| kasper | and mac is too expensive right now | 08:37 |
| cfhowlett | kasper, similar issue. I solved it accidentally after 4 years of rebooting win7. in windows F2 toggled fiwi. under ubuntu, f2 killed wifi. one day I accidentally hit ctrl-f2 and toggled wifi. suggest you experiment with your ctrl, alt and super key combinations. | 08:38 |
| kasper | OK what is the super key exactly? | 08:38 |
| kasper | i came across that more often | 08:38 |
| ZakTheGhost | windows key | 08:39 |
| cfhowlett | kasper, "windows" key | 08:39 |
| kasper | ah cool ok | 08:39 |
| kasper | i figured that but wasn't sure | 08:39 |
| kasper | hang on switching back... | 08:40 |

| k1l | chrisss123456: i like gummi because of the instant preview mode | 08:43 |
| chrisss123456 | baizon: How is it? Thing is, I'm wondering if there is something that a beginner can get into, which has an instant preview, but I can edit the side that is prepared... if that makes any sense. In other words, it's like microsoft word, but you can edit everything by hand should you want to change something. | 08:45 |
| cfhowlett | chrisss123456, I've heard good things about texstudio, but I've been using LyX. | 08:45 |
| baizon | chrisss123456: no, that isn't right for you then, what you search is: http://www.lyx.org/ | 08:46 |
| chrisss123456 | cfhowlett: I've downloaded lyx, however I'm not good enough to really get around comfortably. Is there an intermediate? | 08:46 |
| cfhowlett | chrisss123456, lyx comes with some excellent tutorials ... | 08:46 |
| chrisss123456 | baizon: cfhowlett: ah! haha well, ok but I still need to specify all the details for layout and whatnot. Guess there's no workaround, and I just gotta dive straight in. Thanks! | 08:48 |

| PanV | My Steam Client stopped working after switching graphics card | 10:08 |
| Izura | has anyone here experienced a red stop sign in place of the keyboard applet in the top panel? | 10:09 |
| k1l | Izura: run a "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" in terminal and show the output in a pastebin please | 10:09 |
| cfhowlett | PanV, sudo apt-get install --reinstall steam I'm guessing that steam fails as it can't configure for the now absent card. reinstall should get address that. | 10:10 |
| Izura | Thanks k1l, doing that right now. Forgive my ignorance but what is pastebin? | 10:12 |

| PanV | Will all the games installed delete? | 10:12 |
| PanV | @cfhowlett All the games I Installed with steam will be deleted after the re-install? | 10:13 |
| cfhowlett | PanV, no but you'll probably experience the games reinitializing/reauthorizing on steam. perhaps backup your .steam before reinstall? | 10:13 |
| PanV | Meh no want Steam backup.. I got Steam Cloud, right? | 10:14 |
| PanV | It backs up my progress if I am correct | 10:14 |
| cfhowlett | PanV, you misunderstand | 10:14 |
| cfhowlett | PanV, rename /home/pavnv/.steam to OLD.steam or something. reinstall. do NOT start steam! rename old.steam to .steam | 10:15 |
| PanV | Erm... I get to my home, I rename steam folder, I reinstall it then without starting it I name it back to .steam | 10:15 |
| PanV | Did I get it correct? | 10:15 |
| cfhowlett | PanV, yep. | 10:16 |
| cfhowlett | PanV, if you forget and start steam, a new .steam is created - an EMPTY .steam | 10:16 |

| PanV | I did not install anything rather than fglrx.. | 10:47 |
| k1l | PanV: first lets work out if the ubuntu fglrx (which is the amd website driver but made working with ubuntu already) works. | 10:48 |
| capsicumspray | hi not sure what happened but is firefox broken with the latest update. | 10:48 |
| PanV | The Ubuntu driver seems to work (if its supposed to be Gallium 0.4 on AMD OLAND) I am waiting for fglrx to install | 10:49 |

| k1l | capsicumspray: could be that some of your plugins are not made working with the latest release. but firefox is not known to be broken | 10:49 |
| capsicumspray | ok. dont know of any plugins. just a standard install. how can I run without plugins | 10:50 |
| PanV | Done, ktl | 10:50 |
| k1l | <k1l> PanV: "dpkg -l | grep fglrx" in a pastebin please | 10:51 |
| PanV | http://paste.ubuntu.com/12191776/ | 10:51 |
| PanV | Already done | 10:51 |
| capsicumspray | chromium seems to work ok. have reinstalled firefox a couple of times but no luck | 10:51 |
| k1l | PanV: ok, then reboot to let the amd driver now start | 10:51 |
| k1l | capsicumspray: what exactly is the issue? | 10:52 |
| capsicumspray | when I start I get the rotating twidle then it stops | 10:52 |
| k1l | capsicumspray: you can open a terminal and then type "firefox" and see in the temrinal what the errors are | 10:53 |
| trijntje | what is the best way to share a folder over the internal network with authentication, ie requiring a password to access the share | 10:54 |
| capsicumspray | Could not create gnome accelerators directory `/home/chris/.gnome2/accels': Permission denied | 10:54 |
| cfhowlett | !samba | trijntje | 10:54 |
| ubottu | trijntje: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/samba.html | 10:54 |
| capsicumspray | works when I run it at sudo | 10:54 |
| psyguru | +i psyguru | 10:54 |
| mcphail | capsicumspray: that is the problem right there. Don't run GUI apps as sudo | 10:55 |
| k1l | capsicumspray: ok, so you spoiled your home directory permissions because you run programs with sudo that are not supposed to be run with sudo | 10:55 |
| capsicumspray | no when run as user I get a permission denied message which is the obvious cause of my misfortune. Clearly somehow my home directory permissions appear to been stuffed up. | 10:56 |
| * cfhowlett wants to scream from the rooftops: DO NOT ROOT! | 10:56 | |
| el_juliano | Test | 10:56 |
| k1l | capsicumspray: yes, that is because you mess you system with running gui with sudo. | 10:56 |
| trijntje | cfhowlett: is it possible to share ext filesystems with samba? I want to preserve things like file permissions, hard and softlinks etc | 10:56 |
| PanV | Now something went wrong | 10:57 |
| el_juliano | I want to install Ubuntu on an old desktop pc but I don't find a way to boot from the cd | 10:57 |
| k1l | capsicumspray: this is not windows. we dont need to be root (or tha admin windows equivalent) all the time. | 10:57 |
| cfhowlett | trijntje, I've no experience with samba but I bet the #ubuntu-server folk can advise. | 10:57 |
| PanV | I cannot login after restart to my account -.- | 10:57 |
| cfhowlett | !install | el_juliano | 10:57 |
| ubottu | el_juliano: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 10:57 |
| cfhowlett | PanV, details | 10:57 |
| k1l | PanV: what is the exact issue? | 10:57 |
| PanV | I put my pass, there is a black screen for a sec, then it kicks me back at the login screen | 10:58 |
| el_juliano | @ubottu thanks | 10:58 |
| PanV | Let me try to reboot again... | 10:58 |
| cfhowlett | !nomodeset | PanV, | 10:58 |
| ubottu | PanV,: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 10:58 |
| PanV | I am at the login screen, Ubunru booted | 10:59 |
| PanV | I cant get to my account | 10:59 |
| cfhowlett | PanV, ah --- login loop? | 10:59 |
| PanV | I think? | 10:59 |
| cfhowlett | PanV, hey try the guest account | 11:00 |
| k1l | PanV: press ctrl+alt+f1. then login. then make a "ls -al" and see what is owned by your user and what by root. especially the .Xauthority is important if its root or your user | 11:00 |
| PanV | I will.. please tell me my stuff is not gone | 11:00 |
| cfhowlett | PanV, course not. | 11:00 |
| PanV | English Please :p | 11:00 |
| PanV | kk because my home is encrypted | 11:01 |
| === MrElendig is now known as Pantsu | ||
| k1l | capsicumspray: so you need to chown your folders in your home back to your user | 11:01 |
| PanV | And Guest did not work either. Yay \o/ | 11:01 |
| k1l | PanV: ok so were there any errors while isntalling fglrx? | 11:01 |
| PanV | nor my sisters account | 11:01 |
| PanV | No | 11:02 |
| capsicumspray | kll: managed to sort it out. deleted the offending hidden files as su. ran firefox again and rebuilt the offending directories | 11:02 |
| PanV | I even used it | 11:02 |
| PanV | and sent the output here | 11:02 |
| cfhowlett | capsicumspray, "and I will never root again cuz ubuntu uses "sudo"." say it. | 11:02 |
| k1l | PanV: no you didnt. i requested just a confimation as if the fglrx is isntalled or not. you did not show the installation log and if there were errors (like error for building the kernel module) | 11:03 |
| PanV | Oh. I was supposed to sent the installation log. | 11:03 |
| capsicumspray | dont know what caused it. I only use sudo when apt-get or update. Perhaps I did it by accident. It certainly wasnt intentional. I will be checking my history | 11:03 |
| mcphail | KingKhan: do you still need to run "aticonfig --initial" these days after fglrx installation? Perhaps PanV needs to do that? | 11:04 |
| k1l | PanV: no. i asked you if there were any errors. | 11:04 |
| PanV | I didnt notice | 11:04 |
| PanV | the command was usable though | 11:04 |
| EriC^^ | PanV: /var/log/apt/term.log should show the latest terminal outputs for apt-get | 11:05 |
| k1l | PanV: because your situation now can be caused by errors while installing. since we cant see anything you do we are completly blind and need you to give informations or bring them after we requested them. | 11:05 |
| mcphail | k1l: see my nick fail above, misdirected at KingKhan | 11:05 |
| k1l | mcphail: i dont know. | 11:05 |
| PanV | Why the fudge that happened.. | 11:05 |
| k1l | mcphail: i would check if its the proper kenrel and headers to build the module in first place after install. | 11:05 |
| PanV | RIP pc | 11:05 |
| PanV | What's with the login loop? | 11:06 |
| k1l | PanV: with your hectic you are making it more complicated than it is. | 11:06 |
| EriC^^ | graphics driver most likely | 11:06 |
| PanV | But Graphics should work right? I mean I dont see a black screen like last time.. I am at the login screen. | 11:07 |
| PanV | Well whatever.. how to fix this? :3 | 11:07 |
| k1l | can you get us a pastebin of the .xsession-errors from the users home? | 11:08 |
| k1l | PanV: we still dont have enough informations to know what is going wrong on your system. | 11:08 |
| PanV | I cant get access to my user.. I doubt I am able to pastebin anything | 11:09 |
| k1l | PanV: you are missing half of the questions we ask you to get to know what is wrong to help you | 11:09 |
| PanV | Sorry then. | 11:09 |
| PanV | What should I answer? | 11:09 |
| k1l | <k1l> PanV: press ctrl+alt+f1. then login. then make a "ls -al" and see what is owned by your user and what by root. especially the .Xauthority is important if its root or your user | 11:09 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 11:09 |
| capsicumspray | kll: I was attempting to use LVM to create some snapshots so I could reboot and attempt to install some apps in the snapshot in case I break my system. Unfortuantely, I discovered that my entire logical root drive takes up entire physical drive, so insufficient space to create snapshot. I will need to shrink my root but I not sure how to this. I tried booting from a livecd but I am at loss as to what to do next | 11:09 |
| PanV | k1l, I am seeing now a complete black screen, I dont know how to login | 11:10 |
| PanV | What should I do now? | 11:10 |
| loki__ | hello guys | 11:11 |
| PanV | No mouse, no anything | 11:11 |
| k1l | PanV: ok, you could try to edit the grub one time to boot with the kernel option "nomodeset" to test if that helps: | 11:11 |
| k1l | !nomodeset | PanV | 11:11 |
| ubottu | PanV: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 11:11 |

| dreamcat4 | wine is too difficult to deal with on ubuntu. it is reputed that most other distros 'just works'. not the case here | 11:58 |

| mcphail | dreamcat4: if you don't know how to use wine properly, try using playonlinux instead. It will configure and install the important components for many windows packages and games | 12:01 |
| === zengine_ is now known as zengine | ||
| dreamcat4 | mcphail: i tried playonlinux previously... it's a good idea. unfortunately it dictates a certain wine version (having playonlinux) | 12:02 |

| RealPanV | I am still lost.. can anybody guide me? :3 Thanks a lot Ben64 by the way | 12:03 |
| mcphail | dreamcat4: the scripts will download and install a particular wine version for a particular app, but you can override that if you want | 12:03 |
| RealPanV | I should paste that where? #!/bin/bash | 12:04 |

| RealPanV | >,< That hurts a lot | 12:10 |
| acetakwas | trijntje, I understand that, it's just for learning | 12:10 |
| Ben64 | RealPanV: read the page. | 12:10 |
| acetakwas | And a friend is asking | 12:10 |
| cfhowlett | acetakwas, easier to just write your password on a yellow sticky note on the side of your monitor. just as safe, too. | 12:10 |
| RealPanV | Short or long version? @Ben64 | 12:10 |

| rawiri | Will that help? | 12:13 |
| mcphail | rawiri: yes. Boot into a working version first | 12:13 |
| rawiri | mcphail: Ok thanks I hadn't thought of doing that. | 12:14 |
| RealPanV | I ran a command.. | 12:14 |

| bishops | Hi all, I have this weird thing happening on my ubuntu box, this morning I woke up to see two folders in my Home folder with weird letter names. I moved them to the trash as I couldn't open them. Trying to trash the system freezes and i have to force a restart and moving them back to Home folder does the same. Any suggestions??? | 12:18 |
| mcphail | bishops: check your disk | 12:18 |
| bishops | mcphail: check what and how? | 12:18 |
| mcphail | bishops: first, check "dmesg" for disk errors. Then, run a SMART check (and an fsck). But make sure your data is backed up | 12:19 |
| whatican | есть русскоязычные? здравствуйте | 12:20 |
| RealPanV | Could I ask one more unrelated question? Ben64 | 12:20 |
| mcphail | bishops: in my experience, freezes on moving files around has been symptomatic of a failing drive | 12:20 |

| Ben64 | RealPanV: i'm sure you can figure that out, its not an ubuntu support question so it doesn't really go here | 12:22 |
| RealPanV | Ok | 12:22 |
| bishops | mcphail: can i send you teh output of dmesg? | 12:23 |
| mcphail | bishops: I'm irc'ing over a mobile phone, so probably won't be able to read it very well :) | 12:23 |
| bishops | mcphail: alright no worries. there seem to be a problem, but for me it's gibberish :) | 12:24 |
| mcphail | bishops: if you run "dmesg | grep -i ata" and see if there are lots of errors mentioned, that should be a clue | 12:24 |
| sak | I fail to install bind9 on blackbuntu. help me | 12:24 |
| h0mer | whats the error | 12:25 |
| bishops | mcphail: mm actually there is no error mentioned | 12:25 |
| auronandace | sak: that is not a supported ubuntu derivative | 12:25 |
| Ben64 | sak: that is not a supported derivative, check their website for support channels | 12:25 |
| mcphail | bishops: then best check the SMART status of the disk. I can't remember the recommended tool for that, but someone on channel will be able to point you in the right direction | 12:26 |
| bishops | mcphail: alright thanks for the help | 12:26 |
| mcphail | bishops: after that, consider running an fsck, if your filesystem supports it | 12:26 |
| bishops | mcphail: I'm just wondering why did this happen in the first place! | 12:26 |
| mcphail | bishops: probably a failing disk or an interruption in power during a disk write, I would guess | 12:27 |
| bishops | mcphail: but why these folders popped out in my Home folder | 12:27 |

| milwaukee | o7 all, anyone very familiar with remmina? I know this isn't a remmina channel but since it comes default with Ubuntu I thought it'd be appropriate | 12:27 |
| mcphail | bishops: funny things happen with a corrupted filesystem | 12:28 |
| trijntje | bishops: you can use the program 'disks' to see if your harddisk is failing. Do you remember the exact name of the folders, that might give a hint as to what they are | 12:28 |
| ioria | bishops, did you connect an Apple device ? | 12:29 |
| bishops | trijntje: folder names (currently in the trash): t6tVuSgbkt & qHtIUNpxao | 12:29 |

| sak | can you do port forwarding on a key 3g | 12:30 |
| bishops | trijntje: I opened disks program now what? | 12:31 |
| trijntje | bishops: in the left panel it should show your harddisk(s), and on the right it should say: Assessment: Disk is OK (temperature) | 12:32 |
| bishops | trijntje: Yes it says Disk is OK | 12:33 |
| trijntje | you can also hit ctrl+s for more detailed metrics about how the disk is doing, but those are pretty confusing | 12:33 |
| bishops | trijntje: Yes I've seen those looks fine even if I don't understand much | 12:33 |
| ioria | bishops, have you tried to remove from command line ? | 12:34 |
| trijntje | bishops: if Assessment doesn't show x bad sectors its probably not an issue with the harddisk (I guess) | 12:34 |
| bishops | ioria: yes tried command line. Nothing happens, it just thinks for a long time, and the system starts overheating | 12:35 |
| ioria | bishops, with ls -ls you can chech the owner and the size ... | 12:37 |

| jpds | U^1: Why would it be different from any other Linux distro? | 13:03 |
| jpds | U^1: They are, after all, using the same libraries and code bases in most ways | 13:04 |
| U^1 | jpds, the Ubuntu font rendering is different from other distro like fedora and such | 13:07 |
| U^1 | according to archwiki | 13:07 |
| jpds | U^1: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_configuration#Ubuntu | 13:08 |
| jpds | U^1: Has links to the packages which have the patches | 13:08 |
| cfhowlett | U^1, *maybe* if it's an ubuntu based OS. but even so; only ubuntu is supported here, so as you're trying to solve a problem on a non-supported OS, it's off-topic in this channel | 13:09 |
| cfhowlett | !flavors | U^1 these flavors are supported. all others are not. | 13:10 |
| ubottu | U^1 these flavors are supported. all others are not.: !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu. | 13:10 |
| U^1 | cfhowlett, let me make it on topic. where is the files containing the specific of ubuntu font rendering. is it better? | 13:11 |

| PanV | Can anybody help me? I can't login | 14:09 |
| PanV | to ubuntu | 14:09 |
| EriC^^ | loki_: if you installed apache2 via the repos then it'll update as ubuntu release it in the repos | 14:09 |
| PanV | Oh hi EriC.. I did the same mistake | 14:10 |
| leonic | hello i am in a ubutu 14.04 live usb , i wanto to isntall a ubuntu mate iso in another usb what do i need | 14:10 |
| loki_ | EriC^^, but it is always 2.4.7... as i read they just fixed version and back port only security issues. | 14:10 |
| EriC^^ | leonic: sudo dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M && sync | 14:10 |
| PanV | Could you just tell me how to connect to internet on Recovery Mode? | 14:10 |
| EriC^^ | leonic: type sudo parted -l to get the list of disks and your usb's name | 14:10 |
| PanV | :3 | 14:10 |
| cfhowlett | leonic, torrent the ubuntu-mate .iso and either use command line or ubuntu startup disk creator to make the USB | 14:10 |
| MonkeyDust | leonic in the live session, install unetbootin, download the mate iso and proceed | 14:10 |
| EriC^^ | PanV: enable networking should do it | 14:10 |
| EriC^^ | PanV: what same mistake? | 14:11 |
| PanV | already done eric | 14:11 |
| PanV | it seems to not be connected | 14:11 |
| PanV | I tried to install fglxr | 14:11 |
| EriC^^ | purge it, try installing fglrx-updates maybe, if you need it | 14:11 |
| PanV | Now I purged it and want to get xorg back, I got the command for a clean install | 14:11 |
| shafox | I am trying to connect to my data card i.e. photon plus I am in india, but it doesnt detect in my wireless connection list | 14:12 |
| PanV | EriC, what is the difference? | 14:12 |
| EriC^^ | PanV: fglrx-updates has newer drivers | 14:12 |
| PanV | Ph | 14:12 |
| PanV | *Oh | 14:12 |
| koustuv | shafox: you can use sakis3g script. i have vodafone 3g and i use it, works like a charm | 14:12 |
| Agitime | Does anyone know if it's possible to connect a PC (Windows 7) to a laptop (Ubuntu 14.04), where I can control the PC through the laptop simply by switching a "window"? | 14:13 |

| Agitime | Sort of like Teamviewer I suppose | 14:13 |
| Pantsu | Agitime: rdesktop, vnc | 14:13 |
| PanV | @Agitime Talking about Virtual Box? | 14:13 |
| shafox | koustuv: thing is even if i try to add a connection it doesnt show up in the device list but in the lsusb it does show up as a device | 14:13 |
| EriC^^ | PanV: purge fglrx, then boot normally and install fglrx-updates | 14:13 |
| Pantsu | Agitime: windows supports rdesktop out of the box | 14:13 |
| leonic | do you mean torrent the mate iso to chks if is in good shape?; i just use the mk5um and i looked good y think | 14:14 |
| PanV | EriC, can I boot with no drivers? | 14:14 |
| cfhowlett | leonic, do you HAVE the mate .iso? | 14:14 |
| EriC^^ | PanV: you don't have the xorg driver anymore? | 14:14 |
| Agitime | @Pantsu Not really like that, I have a desktop PC standing by but I want to be able to control it with the laptop keyboard and mouse | 14:14 |
| PanV | I dont think so | 14:14 |
| Pantsu | Agitime: rdesktop lets you do that | 14:15 |
| PanV | let me see | 14:15 |
| Pantsu | Agitime: or you can use a KVMoIP solution | 14:15 |
| Pantsu | (most of them suck) | 14:15 |
| Agitime | Oh okay, I'll check it out. Thanks! | 14:15 |
| koustuv | shafox: yup same problem i had. try it with the sakis3g script once and see how it goes | 14:15 |
| PanV | Can I boot? | 14:15 |
| shafox | koustuv: thanks will give it a go | 14:15 |
| Pantsu | like synergy | 14:15 |

| EriC^^ | PanV: did you purge fglrx? | 14:19 |
| PanV | yes | 14:19 |
| PanV | I booted normally | 14:19 |
| EriC^^ | ok, type sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates | 14:19 |
| EriC^^ | or try the amd driver from their website, it would be the latest | 14:19 |
| shafox | koustuv: May i pm ? | 14:20 |
| PanV | EriC, on AMD site? | 14:20 |
| EriC^^ | PanV: first type sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-generic linux-image-headers | 14:20 |
| PanV | wait | 14:20 |
| EriC^^ | PanV: yes, installing fglrx-updates would be easier to do, try that first | 14:21 |
| koustuv | shafox: yes sure! | 14:21 |

| PanV | hi ali_ | 14:32 |
| ali_ | i wanna download and install apt-get | 14:32 |
| ali_ | but i dont know wich one to download | 14:32 |
| compdoc | apt-get should be installed already | 14:32 |
| PanV | Are you a troll? | 14:32 |
| akxwi-dave | sorry connection dropped.. someone's cut thru one of themain wires near my telecom exchange and the repairs not very stable | 14:32 |
| ali_ | yes | 14:32 |
| PanV | x3 | 14:32 |
| PanV | Its k | 14:32 |
| cfhowlett | ali_, ? apt and apt-get are included in ubuntu | 14:32 |
| ali_ | but i was trying to fix it | 14:32 |
| ali_ | it wasnt working | 14:33 |
| ali_ | and i removed it | 14:33 |
| PanV | ali_ Explain? | 14:33 |
| ali_ | and i dont know how it happened | 14:33 |
| compdoc | how can you install anything now? | 14:33 |
| cfhowlett | ali_, that was ... unwise | 14:33 |
| ali_ | im new to ubuntu | 14:33 |
| PanV | How can you remove apt-get anyways? | 14:33 |
| PanV | What the hell x3 | 14:33 |
| akxwi-dave | Pan did you get your x back? | 14:33 |
| cfhowlett | ali_, reinstall ubuntu. stop thinking it's windows. | 14:33 |
| ali_ | cfhowlett, that was silly | 14:33 |
| cfhowlett | ali_, removing core parts of the OS is silly. | 14:33 |
| PanV | Akxwi, yeah.. eric recommended to me to install from website | 14:34 |
| ali_ | so i prefer to download ubuntu15.04 and install it | 14:34 |
| ali_ | thanks guys | 14:34 |
| ali_ | :P | 14:34 |
| PanV | even tho I install fglrx updates | 14:34 |
| ali_ | aaaaah | 14:34 |
| ali_ | an other question | 14:34 |
| PanV | ali_ Why the hell did you do that? :3 | 14:34 |
| akxwi-dave | ahh ... thats good | 14:34 |
| PanV | I mean you got my mind blown | 14:34 |
| ali_ | isnt there any way to install it? | 14:35 |
| cfhowlett | ali_, "it"? | 14:35 |
| PanV | Ali_ I have no idea | 14:35 |
| PanV | cfhowlett, the apt get | 14:35 |
| kasper | Hi...i was here earlier with a wifi issue | 14:35 |
| ali_ | i mean apt-get | 14:35 |
| PanV | kasper, #wifi | 14:35 |
| cfhowlett | ali_, to install you need apt or apt-get. | 14:35 |
| kasper | lol seriously? | 14:35 |
| leonic | thanks rebboting now | 14:35 |
| PanV | hehe | 14:35 |
| PanV | nope | 14:36 |
| PanV | kasper | 14:36 |
| kasper | anyway...i found intel website...saying something like #cp iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode /lib/firmware | 14:36 |
| kasper | and then "you can now load the firmware" | 14:36 |
| kasper | This might sound absurd...but how do i load the firmware?! | 14:37 |
| PanV | Kadper, just like you would load a program | 14:37 |
| kasper | plus how do i check if the installation worked? | 14:37 |
| kasper | PanV, so how do i load a program? i am an absolute terminal newb and i don want to demolish my system | 14:38 |
| PanV | kasper, is there a download button? | 14:39 |
| kasper | i downloaded a .tgz file...unwrapped it and it contains a readme a license and a .ucode | 14:39 |
| leonic | mmm i thiks i make t usb bootable so i just have to install it after booting instead of just try it whiout install | 14:40 |
| PanV | you dont always need to have the terminal thing | 14:40 |
| kasper | ah! | 14:40 |

| kasper | PanV, cant seem to find the files though...only that .tgz one | 14:42 |
| === superman is now known as karo | ||
| TJ- | kasper: the .ucode file is the firmware, (u is an abortion of the micro (mew) symbol - read ucode as 'microcode') | 14:43 |
| kasper | yes i got that :) question is how do i load it...the instructions are very generic and it keeps saying it all depends on my distro | 14:43 |
| TJ- | kasper: The kernel/udevd looks for all firmware files in "/lib/firmware/" - transfer the file to that directory and when the kernel module loads and requests its firmware, the kernel/udevd will find it | 14:43 |
| kasper | if i have x y or z depends on what distro i use | 14:43 |
| kasper | ok...so that means a reboot...that loads the kernel i guess? | 14:44 |
| TJ- | kasper: no, if the module is dynamically loaded no boot is needed | 14:44 |
| kasper | TJ-, so another silly question...i think (like on the mac) the /lib/firmware is hidden by default? | 14:45 |
| TJ- | kasper: You can unload the module if it is already loaded ("modprobe -r <module-name>)" and reload it "modprobe <module-name>" | 14:45 |
| kasper | to prevent newbs like me from trashing their system | 14:45 |
| TJ- | kasper: No, "/lib/firmware/" is writeable by root only. To copy a file into it use sudo. As in "sudo cp filename.ucode /lib/firmware/" | 14:46 |
| TJ- | kasper: you can use "lsmod" to LiSt MODules curently in memory, to find out if you need to unload it first. E.g. "lsmod | grep iwl" will limit results that contain the string 'iwl' | 14:47 |
| TJ- | kasper: to be sure you have the correct firmware file, you can check what the module will ask for with "modinfo <module-name>" and look at the lines prefixed "firmware:" | 14:48 |
| PanV | I cannot *ing launch the *ing Steam App -.- | 14:48 |

| cfhowlett | lefti, overclocking on a pi? this is the wrong channel. | 14:51 |

| cfhowlett | ali_, this is the same ubuntu you castrated by removing apt and apt-get? | 14:54 |
| kasper | so it's not a firmware issue :(( | 14:54 |
| ali_ | yeah | 14:54 |
| cfhowlett | ali_, no. reinstall | 14:54 |
| TJ- | kasper: The firmware you mentioned earlier is part of the "linux-firmware" package which should already be installed: "dpkg -S iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode" ==> "linux-firmware: /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode" | 14:54 |

| kasper | TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12193050/ | 15:05 |
| TJ- | kasper: right. There are 2 rfkill levels, software controlled, and hardware controlled | 15:05 |
| w2vy | i guess I can try that AGAIN... did so about a week ago... | 15:05 |
| PanV | OerHeks, #valve is empty. Gaben must have done dirty stuff there | 15:05 |
| PanV | XD | 15:05 |
| TJ- | kasper: and that report shows the hardware controlled RF Kill is still enabled. I notice you have an HP Elitebook... it will have either a dedicated switch to control the radio, or a hotkey combo on the keyboard, is that correct? | 15:06 |
| PanV | Does anybody know Valve's f*ing email? | 15:06 |

| kasper | TJ-, it has a button below the screen yes...in windows this is used to switch on and off wireless and it turns blue when i use wifi | 15:07 |
| kasper | TJ-, in ubuntu however, the button controls airplane mode | 15:07 |
| TJ- | kasper: You're the 2nd person with this issue (unless you're the person I helped before) in the past 2 weeks | 15:07 |
| kasper | hotkey combo i don't know | 15:07 |
| kasper | TJ-, i was here earlier today...not in the past 2 weeks...got this puppy on saturday | 15:08 |
| TJ- | kasper: and it is a bug in the ACPI DSDT firmware of the HP. When it detects the Linux OS, it doesn't correctly enabled the radio kill switch functions | 15:08 |
| MonkeyDust | puppy? | 15:08 |
| MonkeyDust | kasper as in puppy linux? | 15:08 |
| kasper | no... | 15:09 |
| kasper | just an expression...a pet name for my very first linux machine | 15:09 |
| kasper | i was so proud i got through the install without any help...only took me 48 hours and 2 sleepless nights on coffee | 15:09 |
| === __NiC is now known as _NiC | ||
| TJ- | kasper: The common issue is that the hp-wmi kernel module calls the ACPI functions declared by the HP BIOS to enable the radio, but because the ACPI implementation has detected Linux, it doesn't do the same thing as when it detects Windows, and only toggles the soft block not the hard block | 15:10 |
| TJ- | kasper: do you get a result from "lsmod | grep hp-wmi" ? | 15:10 |
| kasper | TJ-, nope | 15:10 |
| kasper | I am startin uni next week...so wireless is kinda essential :-( | 15:11 |
| TJ- | kasper: that is strange; the rfkill device names come from that module. Let me read the dmesg some more. | 15:12 |
| kasper | TJ-, thank you! | 15:12 |
| TJ- | kasper: line 839: "hp_wmi: device hp-bluetooth blocked by BIOS" | 15:12 |
| POQDavid | Hi guys | 15:12 |
| marjory_baxter | hi | 15:12 |
| kasper | this is so much more helpfull then reading through endless posts online :) | 15:12 |
| POQDavid | i got a bit of problem deciding on Iptables | 15:13 |
| TJ- | kasper: Can I suggest, before we go any further, you reboot into the BIOS Setup and explore it for any settings that indicate they enable/disable the Wifi/Bluetooth/WWAN radios? | 15:13 |
| kasper | go for 192.168.x.x | 15:13 |
| kasper | TJ-, I will...but if that is the case shouldn't it be blocked in win7 as well? | 15:14 |
| TJ- | kasper: if that message means there BIOS Setup controls the radio state, then it will be a simple fix | 15:14 |
| POQDavid | Will you guys count this http://www.debuntu.org/series/iptables-how-to-share-your-internet-connection/ as the best way to setup Iptables | 15:14 |
| TJ- | kasper: In theory, but as I said, the ACPI DSDT is detecting Linux ... I doubt you'll find anything to be honest but I'd rather be sure and avoid wasting time | 15:14 |
| POQDavid | kasper: some times you can try to turn on the wifi on win then on ubuntu | 15:15 |
| POQDavid | kasper: i had similar problem in one of my pc | 15:15 |
| kasper | TJ-, yes...hang on please...rebooting in BIOS | 15:15 |
| TJ- | kasper: also, it seems that checking for the module in memory should have used an underscore: "lsmod | grep hp_wmi" | 15:15 |
| MonkeyDust | POQDavid windows settings have nothing to do with ubuntu settings | 15:16 |
| kasper | TJ-, http://pastebin.com/xJQ2HfyH | 15:16 |
| POQDavid | MonkeyDust: lets just say if turn off wifi in my old laptop Ubuntu wont find it | 15:17 |
| kasper | OK i am quickly checking the bios | 15:17 |
| kasper | hold on | 15:17 |
| kasper | brb | 15:17 |
| MonkeyDust | POQDavid hardware, then, you mean? | 15:18 |
| POQDavid | MonkeyDust: yah well if i don't turn of the wifi from windows it works fine in Ubuntu | 15:18 |
| === psychosomatic is now known as adjstts | ||
| POQDavid | so anyone here knows about Iptables | 15:21 |
| kasper | TJ-, integrated BT is off in BIOS | 15:21 |
| MonkeyDust | POQDavid that's a coincidence, then, don't make people think it's a working solution | 15:21 |
| bazhang | #netfilter POQDavid | 15:21 |
| TJ- | kasper: hmmm... that sounds like it should be On, don't you think? | 15:22 |
| POQDavid | bazhang: whats that | 15:22 |
| zeroXten | Hi. Am I correct in thinking that 12.04 doesn't include the ip_set kernel module? One can install the ipset command, but the module doesn't seem to exist. | 15:22 |
| bazhang | POQDavid, the channel for Iptables | 15:22 |
| POQDavid | bazhang: oh thank you so much i didn't know there is one | 15:23 |
| bazhang | welcome | 15:23 |
| POQDavid | Well guys have a good day/night i will go to the other chan | 15:24 |
| kasper | TJ-, i read on a ubuntu help site that BT can interfere with WFI | 15:24 |
| kasper | that it's a common issue | 15:24 |
| kasper | but i didn't switch it off...it was already off | 15:25 |
| TJ- | kasper: it can, but generally the wifi drivers have a co-exist functionality | 15:25 |
| TJ- | kasper: e.g. if you do "modinfo iwlwifi" you'll see it has the parameter "parm: bt_coex_active:enable wifi/bt co-exist (default: enable) (bool)" | 15:25 |
| kasper | so one will not work without the other? | 15:26 |
| TJ- | kasper: usually they can work independently, but it depends on whether the functions are combined in one chipset or in separate chipsets | 15:27 |
| kasper | TJ-, BT is switched on now but i still can't switch on wifi in ubuntu...BUT the status light of the physical button is now turning blue rather then staying orange the whole time | 15:28 |
| kasper | that is what changed | 15:28 |
| kasper | all other settings were ON everything that pointed to wifi or the hardware button...was on | 15:28 |
| TJ- | kasper: do you have a 'phone with Bluetooth? If so, try pairing it with the PC and tell me if they can see each other. | 15:29 |
| TJ- | kasper: When I was working on this issue a couple weeks ago I found a bug in the hp_wmi kernel module and fixed it, then provided a package to install it for testing. We might need to try that for you, too. | 15:31 |
| kasper | TJ-, my iphone can see the elitebook | 15:31 |
| TJ- | kasper: Great :) | 15:31 |
| TJ- | kasper: OK, let's see what rfkill is reporting: "pastebinit <( rfkill list )" | 15:32 |
| kasper | TJ-, wait a minute joining on elite book to avoid typos | 15:32 |
| TJ- | kasper: OK | 15:33 |
| kasper | pastebinit <( rfkill list ) | 15:34 |
| kasper_ | TJ-, pastebinit <( rfkill list ) | 15:34 |
| TJ- | kasper: you need to run that command in a terminal; give me the URL it returns :) | 15:35 |

| Zythyr | Need help. I have a 32GB USB with only the first 14GB with a valid partition and data, the remaining is unallocated space. I want to make an image of the 14GB so I can clone it to another 16GB USB. There are 42 partitions, and the last partition ends on sector xyz. How can I use the DD command to copy only the first 14GB work of data and not the unallocated space. | 15:37 |
| === pants1 is now known as whitebuffies | ||
| TJ- | kasper: do "sudo rfkill unblock all" and then look at "rfkill list" again, see if phy0 shows "Hard blocked: no" | 15:38 |

| TJ- | kasper_: until the radio is enabled you won't get sensible results from the tools, although the device/interface is available | 15:44 |
| TJ- | kasper: download the bug-fix hp-wmi source code: "cd $HOME; wget https://iam.tj/projects/misc/hp-wmi.dkms.tar.gz" | 15:45 |

| Zythyr | TJ-: Is it possible to do it with DD? Because I want to copy the partition table also | 15:48 |

| bishops | boys and girls I really need your help, I have folders in my trash folder that don't delete. Everytime I try the system freezes. I can't move them either. These folders were in my home folder and I'm not sure why, they appeared this morning there. | 15:54 |
| === kasper is now known as Kasper_mac | ||
| === kasper_ is now known as kasper_ubuntu | ||
| evon | mokmeister, Thanks, my understanding is that ddrescue only copies whole partitions and doesn't actually recover files like say photorec does. I'm willing to be corrected though | 15:56 |
| TJ- | evon: correct; ddrescue recovers blocks | 15:57 |
| TJ- | evon: however, if those blocks include an intact directory chain, the filenames will be recovered | 15:57 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: any more progress with the 'tar' command? | 15:57 |
| kasper_ubuntu | TJ-, nope error after error | 15:58 |
| evon | TJ, I've never used DD so can you explain a little of the recovery process for me? | 15:58 |
| kasper_ubuntu | TJ-, what is a basic harmless tar command so i can try that? | 15:58 |
| TJ- | evon: 'ddrescue' is *not* 'dd' - see "apt-cache show gddrescue" | 15:59 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: try it as the regular user with sudo: "cd $HOME; tar -C /tmp -xzf $HOME/hp-wmi-dkms.tar.gz" then "ls -l /tmp/hp*" should show "hp-wmi.c" | 16:00 |
| evon | TJ, my apologies for the confusion. What does DD stand for so I can look it up online? | 16:00 |
| mokmeister | evon: as TJ kust pointed out, dd and ddrescue are different | 16:00 |
| mokmeister | *just | 16:01 |
| mokmeister | dd is a copy / convert file command line tool | 16:01 |
| TJ- | evon: dd == 'data definition' | 16:01 |
| mokmeister | ddrescue is more of a recovery tool | 16:02 |
| TJ- | evon: dd will fail if there are any I/O errors. ddrescue will do its best to work around I/O errors and recover everything it can | 16:02 |
| bishops | HI all, I have folders in my trash folder that don't delete. Everytime I try the system freezes. I can't move them either. These folders were in my home folder and I'm not sure why, they appeared this morning there. | 16:03 |
| ioria | bishops, ls -al /home/<your_user>/.local/share/Trash/files ? | 16:04 |
| TJ- | evon: Example. a block device with a single sector I/O error 1/2 way through. 'dd' will fail at that point. 'ddrescue' will see the I/O error, then simply seek further into the device and try there. It will track the ranges it has failed on and keep working around them | 16:04 |
| evon | mokmeister, TJ, Maybe if I described the problem you could help me decide what to use. I think it might just be a lost partition but for some reason, Windows cannot read the drive at all, while Linux cannot. I also can't mount the partition in question although it is listed in Gparted. Photorec is able to recover the files but I want to preserve the file names (which photorec does not). | 16:04 |
| TJ- | evon: Are there any I/O errors reported for that device in "/var/log/kern.log" ? | 16:05 |
| kasper_ubuntu | TJ-, ls: cannot access /tmp/hp*: No such file or directory | 16:05 |
| kasper_ubuntu | keep getting same sort of errors | 16:05 |

| kasper_ubuntu | haven't done anything to it other then tried to fix wifi | 16:06 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: when you used the 'tar' command just now did it silently return to the command-line without reporting any errors? | 16:06 |
| bishops | ioria: it says no such file or directory | 16:06 |
| kasper_ubuntu | no | 16:06 |
| MonkeyDust | kasper_ubuntu did it xork with a cable connection? that needs no configuration | 16:06 |

| MonkeyDust | work* | 16:06 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: ahhh... well if tar is failing then the 'ls /tmp/hp*' won't find any files | 16:07 |
| evon | TJ, I will have to check. I'm not too sure. | 16:07 |
| TJ- | evon: the log file will report "I/O error" | 16:07 |
| kasper_ubuntu | TJ-, yeah it was the same error as before but tried anyway | 16:07 |
| kasper_ubuntu | figured it couldnt hurt...but it didnt work | 16:07 |

| kasper_ubuntu | is there a way to recheck/reinstall/repair tar? | 16:07 |

| bishops | ioria: yes i don't know what they are!!! | 16:16 |
| julian-delphiki | hi delt | 16:16 |
| delt | trouble with NFS ... i can't disable NFSv4 :( | 16:16 |
| TJ- | MonkeyDust: I've also been programming hardware, low-level, kernel, and OS since the early 1980s | 16:16 |
| evon | TJ, mokmeister, Thank you for your help | 16:16 |
| bishops | ioria: but they are paralysing everything | 16:16 |
| kasper_ubuntu | lol | 16:17 |
| kasper_ubuntu | sorry | 16:17 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: OK ... you have to pastebin multiple lines, as you just found out :) | 16:17 |
| delt | even if both rpc.mountd AND rcp.nfsd receive --no-nfs-version 4" on the command line, the ubuntu box is still serving nfsv4 | 16:17 |
| ioria | bishops, we should know what they are first .... but you can try rm -rif * ... but wait a second ... | 16:17 |
| Johnny_Linux | rock on TJ- , we love you. | 16:17 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: looking correct though, so now let's get your system to build that kernel module! | 16:17 |
| kasper_ubuntu | TJ-, http://pastebin.com/TGjX6vF8 | 16:17 |
| kasper_ubuntu | yes sorry apologies i got excited by the correct output :P | 16:18 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install dkms" then "sudo dkms install -m hp-wmi -v 1.01" | 16:18 |
| ioria | bishops, their names remember tmp folders ... but i don't know for what purpose ... | 16:18 |
| delt | even if both rpc.mountd AND rcp.nfsd receive --no-nfs-version 4" on the command line, the ubuntu box is still serving nfsv4 | 16:19 |
| bishops | ioria: yes they look like temporary folders but what were they doing in My home folder anyway | 16:19 |
| kasper_ubuntu | TJ-, DKMS: install completed. | 16:19 |
| kasper_ubuntu | woohoo! thank you so much! | 16:19 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: Good. OK, now we unload the current module with "sudo modprobe -r hp_wmi" | 16:20 |
| kasper_ubuntu | not even sure if it worked yet...but this is amazing thanks man | 16:20 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: and then load the modified module with "sudo modprobe hp_wmi" | 16:20 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: now show us "pastebinit <( tail /var/log/kern.log )" | 16:20 |
| delt | and ps xau shows: root 4818 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S< 12:20 0:00 [nfsd4] | 16:20 |

| ioria | bishops, they are 23 and 25 august ... not the same day .... | 16:21 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: wait one moment, I need to go back through the logs on this issue from 2 weeks ago... there's another module we have to load | 16:21 |
| bishops | ioria: yes i don't know why they say so because i sent them to trash today for sure | 16:22 |
| kasper_ubuntu | After this i am seriously considering getting rid of the win7 dual boot | 16:22 |
| ioria | bishops, the system works normally ? have you rebooted ? | 16:23 |
| bishops | ioria: yes all works as long as i don't come close to the trash. if i try to open it, to delete or to move files, all hell breaks loose... | 16:23 |
| ioria | bishops, try rm -rif t6tVuSgbkt | 16:24 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: "sudo modprobe hp-wireless" then "pastebinit <( tail /var/log/kern.log )" again | 16:24 |
| bishops | ioria: while being the directory? | 16:24 |
| ioria | bishops, in the files folder | 16:24 |

| no_gravity | Anybody familiar with PowerTop? It has this tab "tunables" where you can set settings from "bad" to "good". Is it a good idea to just set everything to "good"? | 16:25 |
| bishops | ioria: nothing is happening, terminal is thinking | 16:25 |
| ioria | bishops, they are big ... | 16:25 |
| MonkeyDust | !find powertop | 16:25 |
| ubottu | Found: powertop, powertop-dbg, powertop-1.13 | 16:25 |
| ruchacz | !s mr robot | 16:25 |
| ubottu | ruchacz: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 16:25 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: now try toggling the hardware wifi radio button, and after each press of that button do "rfkill list" and see if there is a change in the status | 16:26 |
| bishops | ioria: still thinking | 16:26 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: you're looking for the wifi Hard Block to show "no" | 16:26 |
| xangua | no_gravity: if what you want is better battery life, try tlp | 16:26 |
| no_gravity | xangua: what do you do with tlp? | 16:26 |
| bishops | ioria: now the whole system is slowing down | 16:27 |
| kasper_ubuntu | TJ-, same...it keeps saying yes | 16:27 |
| ioria | bishops, how big is your hd ? | 16:27 |
| xangua | no_gravity: http://m.webupd8.org/2013/04/improve-power-usage-battery-life-in.html?m=1 | 16:27 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: OK ... now we need to start hacking the BIOS ... are you game? | 16:28 |
| bishops | ioria: 250GB | 16:28 |
| kasper_ubuntu | TJ-, hell yeah | 16:28 |
| SCHAAP137 | i had a similar issue with an old laptop a while ago... in the end fixed it by covering pin 19 on the mini PCIe WLAN adapter chip | 16:28 |
| kasper_ubuntu | let me get another beer open for mental encouragement | 16:28 |
| alexbucuresti | how cpu is necessary for a ftp server? | 16:29 |
| kasper_ubuntu | and let me get my daredevil costume^^ | 16:29 |
| kasper_ubuntu | SCHAAP137, seriously?! i am not going to open this thing...i have a year warranty | 16:29 |
| kasper_ubuntu | i just hope that the warranty covers ubuntu :P | 16:30 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: :D This is pretty simple actually. I'm going to get you to capture to a file the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) Differentiated Services Descriptor Table (DSDT) which is pseudo-code provided by the BIOS, but which the kernel has to execute. | 16:30 |
| bishops | ioria: oh it worked! | 16:30 |
| kasper_ubuntu | TJ-, cool | 16:30 |
| ioria | bishops, now the other same command | 16:30 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: Then I need you to upload that file so I can download it. Do you have somewhere to do that? | 16:31 |
| bishops | ioria: doing it.. | 16:31 |
| Johnny_Linux | 2 cool | 16:31 |
| kasper_ubuntu | TJ-, just dont install anything to activate my webcam without the light burning so i see me and my mrs end up on pornhub in a week :D | 16:31 |
| === sub-zero is now known as Guest13415 | ||
| kasper_ubuntu | TJ-, not yet...any suggestions? I use iCloud...but i don think it has guest acces | 16:32 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: you shouldn't reveal your fantasies on IRC you know :) | 16:32 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: this looks useful: https://temp-share.com/ | 16:33 |
| kasper_ubuntu | TJ-, the deparment of justice over here advised people to cover their webcam with tape because apparently there are virusses going around that do exactly what i just said | 16:33 |
| kasper_ubuntu | no fantasy man...real hard reality | 16:33 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: the command is "sudo cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT | dd of=/tmp/DSDT.bin" then upload "/tmp/DSDT.bin" | 16:33 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: usually the LED attached to the webcam cannot be controlled independently, so it tells when the camera is active. | 16:34 |
| alexbucuresti | what cpu,ram is neccesary for a ftp server? | 16:34 |
| kasper_ubuntu | TJ-, yes... but there is a virus that deactivates the LED | 16:35 |
| kasper_ubuntu | like there is anti theft software that deactivates the LED and takes a pic of the thief | 16:35 |
| kasper_ubuntu | so it can be done...no idea how...but it can be done apparently | 16:35 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: controlling the LED is *very* model and chipset specific. It would have to be a targeted attack | 16:35 |
| AEL-H | I have been interested in this idea for a while --, how exactly is the LED light linked to th webcamera -- are they totally seperate? | 16:35 |
| OerHeks | TJ- +1 | 16:36 |
| TJ- | AEL-H: it's controlled by the camera chipset on a GPIO | 16:36 |
| OerHeks | lot of FUD, webcam light control | 16:36 |
| kasper_ubuntu | TJ-, maybe a bug in windows? | 16:36 |
| kasper_ubuntu | or some sort of exploit in common chipsets...so it wouldn work on all of them but just the most used ones | 16:37 |
| AEL-H | How would I go about trying to fiddle with it? -- I have a very basic grasp of computing&electronics | 16:37 |
| ObrienDave | not hardly, sheesh | 16:37 |
| kasper_ubuntu | kasper@EliteBook:~$ sudo cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT | dd of=/tmp/DSDT.bin | 16:37 |

| bishops | ioria: trash clean thanks! | 16:37 |
| TJ- | There are hundreds of USb camera modules, and each could have any one of hundreds of chipsets, and each of those combinations can choose an arbitrary GPIO pin to control the LED. | 16:37 |
| bishops | ioria: I'll reboot my system just to see if all is good | 16:38 |
| ioria | bishops, ok | 16:38 |
| kasper_ubuntu | TJ-, then it has to be an OS thing...i'll try and find the article | 16:38 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: upload it, and I'll decompile the binary to source-code here so I can be sure what it expects to enable control of the rfkill | 16:38 |
| kasper_ubuntu | TJ-, where do i find the file to upload? | 16:38 |
| piggy55 | Having an issue with daemons not being able to access files. i have a deamon running with user: proc1 that creates files in a directory that has the perms 660 proc1:shared. the other daemon runs as user: proc2. Both users are apart of the shared group but proc2 can access the files proc1 made | 16:38 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: "/tmp/DSDT.bin" | 16:38 |
| kasper_ubuntu | can i find that in the GUI TJ- ? | 16:39 |
| TJ- | Kasper_mac: sure, use the 'browse' button to get the File Open dialog, then navigate to the Root directory, and from there to /tmp/ | 16:39 |
| AEL-H | Sorry, I know this not an ubuntu specific question -- I have been reading about wildcards here : http://linuxcommand.org/lc3_lts0050.php. So if I wanted to search for a file that had 3 lowercase letters I would have to do "[[:lower:]][[:lower:]][[:lower:]]". Surely there is something else I can do like "[[:lower:]] *3"? | 16:39 |
| TJ- | AEL-H: [["lower:]]{3} | 16:40 |
| TJ- | AEL-H: [[:lower:]]{3} even | 16:40 |
| AEL-H | TJ-, thank you :) | 16:40 |
| TJ- | AEL-H: I am assuming you're using regular expressions of course. The shell doesn't have reg-exps | 16:40 |
| kasper_ubuntu | TJ-, https://temp-share.com/f/cxfrwkljmc/f55c167a80b72a00a14304e4a316cd8538bc21c274a909f17871238ccf307cac | 16:41 |
| kasper_ubuntu | TJ-, sorry: https://temp-share.com/f/cxfrwkljmc | 16:41 |
| AEL-H | TJ- : Sorry, what do you mean by reg-exps ? | 16:41 |
| kasper_ubuntu | thatś the correct one | 16:41 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: I got it from the first link :) | 16:42 |
| TJ- | AEL-H: regular expressions | 16:42 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: although it will probably look like spaghetti to you, you can follow along with what I am doing here. I ran the command "iasl -d hp-elitebook-DSDT.bin" to disassemble that code, and the source is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/12193688/ | 16:45 |
| no_gravity | Does Ubuntu not have an "your system is up to date" icon? Or will it only show up when there are updates available? | 16:46 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: I'm now reading that source to identify the methods (functions) that control the rfkill state, and looking at OSI specific controls such as "Windows 2009" that affect how that is used | 16:46 |
| Marezz | Im having screen tearing in Ubuntu 15.04, I use proprietary amd drivers | 16:47 |
| Marezz | its mostly when i scroll in firefox | 16:47 |
| kasper_ubuntu | TJ-, http://nos.nl/artikel/597896-justitie-plak-je-webcam-af.html in dutch...but throwing it in google translate will give you an idea of the fact that our country is run by dinosaurs | 16:47 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: if you scroll to line 380, method _INI, you'll see some conditional code that Store's a value based on the _OSI string | 16:47 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: if you look at the values Store-d, you'll see that the value stored for "Linux" is a much lower value than the value Store-d for "Windows 2009" | 16:48 |
| OerHeks | !fud | kasper_ubuntu | 16:49 |
| ubottu | kasper_ubuntu: Please do not fall prey to, or spread FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) - it is not welcome here! Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt | 16:49 |
| kasper_ubuntu | TJ-, yes i see | 16:49 |
| kasper_ubuntu | wow what?! | 16:50 |
| kasper_ubuntu | i am ridiculing it | 16:50 |
| kasper_ubuntu | i am not taking it serious and i am certainly not pasting it as a serious threat! | 16:50 |
| kasper_ubuntu | lol | 16:52 |
| kasper_ubuntu | TJ-, so you're changing the values to the same as for windows? | 16:54 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: I'm looking to correlate those values Store-d with the wireless radio state method. I'm still looking for the method since the names are arbitrary | 16:55 |
| Greek0 | how is it determined what services are restarted when a package is upgraded? what program is responsible for that? | 16:57 |
| EriC^^ | Greek0: i think it's in the post-install script of the package | 16:58 |
| Greek0 | actual problem: installation of a custom php5-auth-something package (with an .so) triggers an apache reload, i want apache restart (so the .so is reloaded) | 16:58 |
| Greek0 | EriC^^: I checked that first, the postinst only touched the /etc/cron.d/php5... file | 16:58 |
| Greek0 | it doesn't actively restart anything. there's a more general mechanism going on | 16:59 |
| EriC^^ | Greek0: did you check /var/lib/dpkg/info/php5-auth....postinst ? | 16:59 |
| Greek0 | EriC^^: I dpkg-deb -e'd the package | 17:00 |
| EriC^^ | Greek0: why do you want that? i mean can't you just restart it manually? | 17:00 |
| Greek0 | EriC^^: last month's events: package was manually deployed to production server, apt-get printed a "reloading apache.... [OK]" line. operator though "cool, no need to restart again". The fixed library was not live in production | 17:02 |
| Greek0 | debugged that now, it's pretty suble since you generally assume that the on-filesystem so is the same as the memory one. | 17:02 |
| EriC^^ | oh | 17:04 |
| Kasper_mac | OK TJ- hold on pls... | 17:07 |
| Kasper_mac | TJ-, i just discovered that eth0 and wlan can't work together | 17:07 |
| Kasper_mac | so i unplugged ethernet and no i CAN switch wireless on...just no networks are showing...AND the blocked is gone in rfkill list | 17:08 |
| Bendr | Software center will never exist? | 17:08 |
| TJ- | kasper_ubuntu: really?! I've not seen laptops with that switchover system for over 10 years! | 17:08 |
| Kasper_mac | TJ-, i am so sorry to have wasting your time...i such an idiot | 17:09 |
| Kasper_mac | i am such a bloody idiot | 17:09 |
| Kasper_mac | somehow i got an appafinay and started googeling without using ubuntu and linux etc... | 17:10 |
| TJ- | Kasper_mac: not at all; that is a very obscure hardware config, and a terrible one too! | 17:10 |
| TJ- | Kasper_mac: I didn't see mention of that in the user guide earlier | 17:10 |
| Kasper_mac | the stupid thing is...when i plug in a cable windows keep showing i am connected to a wireless network | 17:10 |
| Kasper_mac | that's why i never thought of it | 17:11 |
| TJ- | Kasper_mac: right... I had been about to give you a kernel command-line option to try, since we may as well make the BIOS/ACPI think the OS is Windows and behave the same way it does for Windows. | 17:11 |
| Kasper_mac | TJ-, but i don't think windows is showing it right | 17:12 |
| mahbub | hello i am a new user i want to learn command line so which book should i follow? | 17:12 |
| Kasper_mac | i think the same happens in windows...it just can't handle it | 17:12 |
| TJ- | Kasper_mac: do you know how to get to the GRUB boot-manager menu at start-up? Holding down the Shift key when you see the BIOS Power On Self Test (POST) or splash screen, until the boot manager menu is displayed? | 17:12 |
| PanV | Hello. Sorry for my raging before with cursing and stuff. But now its urgent since I only got 7 percent battery. I deleted xorg for reasons.. to get prop drivers. How to get them back If I got amd radeon? << Urgent | 17:13 |
| Kasper_mac | TJ-, i tweaked my own grub with a windows tool...since it wasn't showing | 17:13 |
| PanV | apt-get install (What should i write here?) | 17:13 |
| OerHeks | Panhowto remove ati fglrx drivers > http://askubuntu.com/a/68312 | 17:13 |
| PanV | oerherks, already done | 17:14 |
| TJ- | Kasper_mac: well, that may be because you have the UEFI firmware configured to do Fastboot for Windows (which is a fancy name for Windows Hibernate) | 17:14 |
| PanV | andleft with no drivers | 17:14 |
| PanV | Now ima at recovery mode | 17:14 |
| PanV | I just need to isntall xorg | 17:14 |
| Kasper_mac | TJ-, really? | 17:14 |
| mahbub | hey everyone whats up i want to learn command line so which book should i follow? | 17:14 |
| Kasper_mac | i didn't do that | 17:14 |
| TJ- | Kasper_mac: in Windows, you can disable that by using the power shutdown menu to choose full shutdown instead of fastboot | 17:14 |
| PanV | Please, I got 6%, ţ percent And device will close.. | 17:14 |
| OerHeks | PanV, and did the steps after the install ? | 17:14 |
| Kasper_mac | TJ-, i never use hibernate | 17:15 |
| PanV | oerherks, i just want the apt-get install xorg thingy | 17:15 |
| OerHeks | PanV, plugin the adaptor, don't hurry us. | 17:15 |
| TJ- | Kasper_mac: is it Windows 8? | 17:15 |
| Kasper_mac | TJ-, i use either reboot or shutdown... | 17:15 |
| Kasper_mac | it's 7 | 17:15 |
| PanV | Kk wait comin' | 17:15 |
| OerHeks | <PanV> oerherks, i just want the apt-get install xorg thingy " you need to do the steps after that too, is that so hard ?sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 17:16 |
| TJ- | Kasper_mac: Oh OK... then it may only be the BIOS Setup setting for Fastboot that needs disabling. When enabled it doesn't bother looking for alternate boot devices or showing the boot menu it just boots the default OS, which will be Windows. | 17:16 |
| mahbub | hey any one suggest me the best book of command line? | 17:16 |
| Kasper_mac | TJ-, it shows it now...but i can only get to ubuntu by pressing esc twice after getting an error | 17:17 |
| PanV | oerHerks, waht do I need to do? Sorry I am not patient or anything | 17:18 |
| PanV | Networking enabled, pressed root on recoveru | 17:19 |
| Kasper_mac | TJ-, thanks a lot man! | 17:19 |
| Kasper_mac | and again i am a bloody fool...i have worked on a second line helpdesk of an ISP for almost a year...this was such a bad trouble shoot :( | 17:19 |
| PanV | OerHerks, it wont let me do that command. | 17:19 |
| OerHeks | Panv just boot nornal, login with ctrl alt F2, and do those steps | 17:20 |
| TJ- | Kasper_mac: OK. if you can get to the GRUB menu, highlight the Ubuntu entry, press "E" to edit it. Now navigate to the line beginning "linux ..." move the cursor to the end of that line, and add: acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="windows 2009" then press Ctrl+X or F10 to boot with that option. With luck the system will behave the same way as it does with Windows. If that does provide useful improvements those parameters can be added permanently to "/etc/default/grub" and its | 17:21 |
| TJ- | "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX" setting, followed by "update-grub" | 17:21 |
| leandro | hi | 17:21 |
| === leandro is now known as Guest75127 | ||

| PanV | I already mentioned, that when I do ctrl alt f2, it just showd a black screen for some reason.. | 17:22 |
| PanV | *shows | 17:22 |
| OerHeks | Panwell, then i am stuck too | 17:22 |
| PanV | OerHerks.. all I need to know is apt-get install PacketName | 17:24 |
| PanV | Nothing else :3 | 17:25 |
| PanV | By the way thanks for your help | 17:25 |
| C0r3 | Why is sdvc package is unavailable? | 17:26 |
| TJ- | Kasper_mac: There is nothing in the User Guide about the WLAN/Ethernet being either-or | 17:26 |

| Kasper_mac | TJ-, I've seen the option in the BIOS...i just didn't think it was relevant because of how windows was behaving | 17:32 |
| PanV | BIOS =/= Windows | 17:32 |
| PanV | Windows = OS | 17:32 |
| PanV | ^ Captain Obvious | 17:32 |
| Kasper_mac | yes...windows was giving me a false positive | 17:32 |
| ObrienDave | say it isn't so! ;P | 17:33 |
| neredsenvy | hi | 17:33 |
| TJ- | Kasper_mac: check the output of the lspci command I gave you, if the Ethernet and WiFi devices are both listed they WILL work at the same time | 17:33 |
| kasper_ubuntu | http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Wireless-Internet-Home-Networking/Elitebook-2540p-Enable-wifi-while-connected-to-ethernet/td-p/3589861 | 17:34 |
| Kasper_mac | TJ-, i can simply switch it off in the BIOS :p | 17:34 |
| neredsenvy | I'm trying to install mysql-server-5.6 on u12 I keep getting start: Jon failed to start during installation with dpkg: error processing package mysql-server-5.6 (--configure) any ideas ? | 17:34 |
| MonkeyDust | neredsenvy is that a server? if yes, there's also #ubuntu-server | 17:36 |
| ioria | neredsenvy, vivid or trusty ? | 17:36 |
| TJ- | Kasper_mac: if it is optional that is fine; however the dmesg logs you reported showed both devices available so it can't be correct that they are mutually exclusive: "e1000e: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - 2.3.2-k" and "iwlwifi 0000:43:00.0: Detected Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6200 AGN, REV=0x74" | 17:37 |
| Kasper_mac | TJ-, it is very weird i agree...i switched the option off now like in the thread i posted | 17:38 |
| Kasper_mac | however in ubuntu now i don't have a mouse cursor :D | 17:38 |
| TJ- | Kasper_mac: there is sometimes a power-saving feature whereby the Ethernet PHY can be turned off to save power when WiFi is enabled. Maybe that is the control you have in the BIOS, so it toggles the wifi radio and ethernet PHY | 17:38 |
| Kasper_mac | not with USB or built in pointing device | 17:38 |
| geothom230 | hi guys i have problem with proftpd with connection with lampp | 17:38 |
| Kasper_mac | TJ-, i think that must be it...since this laptop was advertised as a business model with long lasting battery | 17:39 |
| TJ- | Kasper_mac: Can't help you with lost mouse cursor if you're using default Ubuntu with Unity; I use KDE | 17:39 |
| Kasper_mac | yes it's default... | 17:39 |
| Kasper_mac | that is so weird | 17:39 |
| TJ- | Kasper_mac: but you may find clues in /var/log/Xorg.0.log" | 17:39 |
| darkroom | okay so I want to wipe all my personal files and things I have downloaded over time but leave the base OS does anyone know of a way to do this? | 17:39 |
| MattTS | So I've tried to install Ubuntu 14.04 on my desktop along side Windows 10. Having lots of issues with GRUB2 and EFI. I got this from boot-repair on my second attempt http://paste.ubuntu.com/12193841/ | 17:40 |
| FLeiXiuS | darkroom, Theres no real *easy* way to do it unless you fresh install. | 17:40 |
| Kasper_mac | TJ-, i could see they were working simultaneously now...just not the mouse anymore | 17:40 |
| Kasper_mac | checking win blows now | 17:40 |
| TJ- | Kasper_mac: you'd best remove that custom hp_wmi DKMS module before we finish, now it is not needed | 17:41 |
| darkroom | FLeiXiuS: got a link for a tutorial for that? I have been having these conflicts between things I have cant seem to fix them and people on fourms say its not fixable so I just want a fresh start | 17:41 |
| FLeiXiuS | darkroom, A link for reinstalling Ubuntu? | 17:42 |
| darkroom | FLeiXiuS: yep | 17:42 |
| FLeiXiuS | darkroom, How'd you get ubuntu on there in the first place ;-) | 17:42 |
| Kasper_mac | TJ-, can you tell me how later? i am booting into windows to check the mouse...and got "installing update 1 of 3 billion" | 17:42 |
| FLeiXiuS | darkroom, Just download the ISO, put it in, install, voila | 17:43 |
| Kasper_mac | so that'll take a while | 17:43 |
| devth | i'm trying to use apt-offline to install packages on many machines (using ansible), so i need to avoid generating a machine-specific signature file. any ideas? | 17:43 |
| darkroom | FLeiXiuS: thanks :) | 17:43 |
| TJ- | Kasper_mac: it's easy: "sudo dkms remove hp-wmi/1.01 -all: | 17:43 |
| Kasper_mac | thanks! | 17:44 |
| Kasper_mac | TJ-, if you're ever having any issues with mac/iOS let me know :p | 17:45 |
| Kasper_mac | i owe you one man! | 17:45 |
| Kasper_mac | so cool | 17:45 |

| OmSai | Hi folks, I'm locked to using 14.04 Trusty for University security reasons, but I need OpenConnect 7 for our VPN. I see that the package is available in Wily (https://launchpad.net/openconnect/+packages). How do I go about install it without dist-upgrade? | 17:48 |
| darkroom | FLeiXiuS: I just download the ISO then put it on a flash drive correct | 17:48 |
| shamurai | bazhang: I suppose thats a matter of opinion but firmware/third party codecs would be a good reason. | 17:49 |
| bazhang | OmSai, distupgrade is not a version change | 17:49 |
| TJ- | OmSai: you might be able to install/use that package cleanly via either a chroot or a cgroups container (lxc), without causing package conflicts in the native 14.04 installation. | 17:49 |

| sentriz | Hi, I've got a cifs mount in /etc/fstab. It mounts with drwxr-xr-x, but I would like full write permissions. Here is the line: http://pastebin.com/x6QVFmRE - does anyone know how this is possible? I've also got "mount -a" in /etc/rc.local | 18:04 |
| MattTS | TJ-: Really doesn't seem that simple. GRUB just goes to prompt | 18:06 |
| TJ- | MattTS: "rescue >" or "grub:" ? | 18:06 |
| MattTS | It went to grub: originally, then I tried boot-repair from the USB media I created and then it started going to rescure | 18:07 |
| MattTS | *rescue | 18:07 |
| TJ- | MattTS: I don't trust bootrepair - when it messes up it tend to do it spectacularly! | 18:08 |
| TJ- | MattTS: at the 'rescue' prompt what does 'set' report, if anything, for "prefix" and "root" | 18:08 |
| MattTS | I noticed a /efi/ folder on my secondary SSD which is NTFS. That drive shouldn't have been touched | 18:08 |
| MattTS | under grub: it was reporting prefix as (hd3,gpt2)/boot/grub and root as (hd3,gpt2) | 18:09 |
| MattTS | under rescue I can't remember | 18:09 |
| TJ- | MattTS: When using UEFI, the firmware uses a *single* drive to store the EFI System Partition (ESP), which must be a FAT12/16/32 file-system and is usually between 256-512MiB. Within that file-system each bootloader+OS gets a directory under /EFI/ | 18:10 |
| Mohey | cannot find resource script /root/.set/meta config | 18:11 |
| MattTS | There was /EFI/ stuff on sdb2 which is where I believe it should have been but also stuff on sda | 18:11 |
| MattTS | Trying to reinstall 14.04 now with sdb set as the boot drive | 18:12 |
| MattTS | Before I let it set its own thing | 18:12 |
| TJ- | MattTS: so, with a dualboot you'll see "/EFI/Windows/" and "/EFI/ubuntu/" | 18:12 |
| MattTS | Yeah, in the grub prefix dir there was /EFI/ubuntu and /EFI/Microsoft (as well as /EFI/Boot) | 18:13 |
| Mohey | "cannot find resource script /root/.set/meta config" anyone have a solution ? | 18:14 |
| TJ- | MattTS: if you have ESP's on both devices, the UEFI boot manager (in the motherboard firmware) should store the correct path to the bootloader (<DEVICE>/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi) with the 'ubuntu' menu entry | 18:14 |
| MattTS | I saw 2 ubuntu entries in the motherboard boot manager, neither worked though | 18:15 |
| MattTS | Both went to grub prompt and then rescue | 18:15 |
| TJ- | MattTS: from an ubuntu UEFI boot (e.g. Live ISO) you can manually remove those using "efibootmgr" | 18:15 |
| === sins-_s is now known as sins- | ||
| TJ- | MattTS: then you can use 'grub-install' to reinstall including using efibootmgr to add a correct entry to the UEFI boot manager menu | 18:16 |
| sentriz | should I ask in #linux instead? | 18:16 |
| sentriz | join #linux | 18:17 |
| sentriz | oops | 18:17 |
| ioria | sentriz, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently | 18:17 |
| MattTS | Okay, finished the reinstall and get grub prompt rather than rescue again | 18:17 |
| === adante_ is now known as adante | ||
| === prosodyContext is now known as misalias | ||
| MattTS | I'll load up the live disk and try the grub-install and efibootmgr | 18:19 |
| EriC^^ | you have to chroot first | 18:19 |
| === Corey84 is now known as linux-modder | ||
| TJ- | MattTS: We can get you in from the grub prompt if you want to | 18:20 |
| EriC^^ | that sounds like a good idea ^ | 18:20 |
| MattTS | TJ-: If you can, that'd be great. I tried a few things without any luck before but I didn't really know what I was doing | 18:21 |
| TJ- | The advantage of using the GRUB shell is we can see exactly what is wrong | 18:21 |
| TJ- | MattTS: OK, let's start with checking the values of 'root' and 'prefix' - type "set" and tell us what they are | 18:22 |
| MattTS | prefix = (hd3,gpt2)/boot/grub | 18:22 |
| MattTS | and root = hd3,gpt2 | 18:22 |
| TJ- | MattTS: OK, I think I see the issue already - hd3 ... how many drives are connected? | 18:22 |
| MattTS | There's 3 internal drives and a USB external drive + USB stick | 18:23 |
| MattTS | so 5 | 18:23 |
| TJ- | MattTS: This is going to get interesting... prepare for a learning curve :) | 18:23 |
| MattTS | (ssd, ssd and hdd) | 18:23 |
| TJ- | MattTS: use the "ls" (LiSt) command to get a list of the available devices and partitions... if you can bear it, please copy that info here because it is vital for us to know what GRUB is seeing | 18:24 |
| MattTS | (SSD1 is storage, SSD2 is where Windows is and HDD is storage + where ubuntu is) | 18:24 |

| TJ- | MattTS: do you see a grub/ directory there? | 18:27 |
| MattTS | no | 18:28 |
| MattTS | there's /efi/ubuntu/ where grub.cfg is | 18:28 |
| jeffreylevesque | how can i check if an event is emitted. one maybe defined from a upstart script? | 18:28 |
| TJ- | MattTS: if you do "ls (hd3,gpt2)/efi" do you see "windows" and "ubuntu" directories, or nothing at all? | 18:28 |
| MattTS | I see Microsoft, Boot and ubuntu | 18:29 |
| TJ- | MattTS: OK, so the problem is gpt2 is the EFI SP, but it should be the file-system containing the OS's /boot/grub/ | 18:29 |
| Blowbalt | I don't know why I just disconnected randomly, but anyway... | 18:29 |
| TJ- | MattTS: So now you search for that using "ls (hd3, gptX)/" replacing X with 1-5 | 18:30 |
| Blowbalt | Has anyone else experienced random crashes in unity in 15.04? I have an HP laptop (dm1) and X occasionally just quits out to a blank terminal login screen | 18:30 |
| TJ- | MattTS: if Ubuntu was installed with a separate file-system for /boot/ you'll see a grub/ directory. | 18:30 |
| Jordan_U | TJ-: You can also find any GNU/Linux root filesystem with "search --file /etc/fstab". | 18:30 |
| Blowbalt | it almost always happens when I'm switching desktops or launching a terminal | 18:30 |
| TJ- | Jordan_U: good point... I'm too used to do everything myself :) | 18:31 |
| Blowbalt | .xsession-errors shows a lot of "Respawning too fast" messages, but i'm not sure whether they're connected or not | 18:31 |
| MattTS | TJ-: gpt1,3,4,5 are all unknown filesystems for grub | 18:32 |
| MattTS | only 2 is FAT | 18:32 |
| MattTS | but no /grub | 18:32 |
| MattTS | or /boot | 18:32 |
| TJ- | MattTS: so as Jordan_U points out you can also do "search --file normal.mod" | 18:32 |
| === offsec is now known as Guest17055 | ||
| TJ- | MattTS: that is interesting. Do you know which file-system types you used when Ubuntu was installed. The default is ext3 or ext4, which grub should have built-in to its grubx64.efi | 18:33 |
| Jordan_U | TJ-: No, you need an absolute path and we want to find the root fs (which is also the filesystem containing /boot/ in MattTS' case). | 18:33 |
| sm56 | hi all, can can some1 help me troubleshooting my motorola sm56 ? thx | 18:33 |
| Jordan_U | MattTS: Please run "search --file /etc/fstab". | 18:33 |

| Jordan_U | TJ-: No, it just iterates through every device. | 18:34 |
| MattTS | Hmm, just get errors | 18:34 |
| MattTS | no such device /etc/fstab | 18:34 |
| EriC^^ | MattTS: try ls (hd0,msdos1)/ | 18:34 |
| agent_white | Moin | 18:34 |
| TJ- | I think the issue here is the grub core.img (grubx64.efi) doesn't have the file-system driver built in for some reason | 18:34 |
| TJ- | based on "MattTS> TJ-: gpt1,3,4,5 are all unknown filesystems for grub" | 18:34 |
| MattTS | hd0,mdse.1 seems to have boot casper, install, isolinux and stuff | 18:35 |

| EriC^^ | something isn't right | 18:47 |
| MattTS | So there's an issue with some drives being mbr and some being gpt | 18:47 |
| TJ- | MattTS: well done! that took some typing | 18:47 |
| TJ- | MattTS: the main issue is, the device with Linux on is not being seen by GRUB! | 18:48 |
| TJ- | MattTS: is that drive on a some other disk controller that UEFI has no driver for? | 18:48 |
| MattTS | I believe the Linux drive is on a different SATA controller | 18:48 |
| TJ- | MattTS: aha! now we're getting somewhere | 18:48 |
| Guest17055 | hardware issue o.O | 18:49 |
| Jordan_U | MattTS: TJ-: Which means that your boot firmware doesn't support that SATA controller (or at least doesn't support using two controllers at once). | 18:49 |
| TJ- | MattTS: it is possible that drive cannot be used for the bootloader, *if* the UEFI has no driver for it | 18:49 |
| EriC^^ | he did mention "(hd4) error: failure reading sector 0xfc from 'hd4'" earlier | 18:49 |
| EriC^^ | in case that helps | 18:49 |
| TJ- | EriC^^: Yes, that's where I think the missing partitions are | 18:49 |
| TJ- | MattTS: try "lspci" | 18:50 |
| MattTS | can't find the command | 18:50 |
| MattTS | in grub | 18:50 |
| TJ- | MattTS: ok, you'd need the grub root device available so it could insmod that command | 18:51 |
| TJ- | MattTS: I was hoping we'd see an 'unknown device' reported, which would likely be the offending controller | 18:51 |
| Guest17055 | guys can i access the root account on vivid vervet ?! | 18:51 |
| teward | !root | Guest17055 | 18:51 |
| ubottu | Guest17055: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 18:51 |
| TJ- | MattTS: there is one thing we haven't tried. Try "nativedisk" then "ls" again | 18:52 |

| === Guest17055 is now known as h4x0r | ||
| MattTS | Now that I not I think the 1TB internal drive isn't listed there | 18:56 |
| MattTS | *notice | 18:56 |
| TJ- | MattTS: that confirms the issue | 18:57 |
| h4x0r | long convo for grub issue i must admit | 18:57 |
| TJ- | MattTS: you'll need a separate partition of about 512MiB on one of the drives the FW can see, for the /boot/ mountpoint | 18:57 |
| MattTS | I have the OPROM for the Marvell storage controller disabled and enabled for the JMB storage controller | 18:58 |
| TJ- | MattTS: is the missing drive on the Marvell controller? if so, enable the Option ROM | 18:58 |
| MattTS | TJ-: possibly, trying it now | 18:58 |
| MattTS | Okay, done that and get an extra screen at boot and the 1TB internal drive is listed now | 18:59 |
| TJ- | MattTS: I believe GRUB will find its root now | 19:00 |
| MattTS | I've had this machine 4+ years now, I obviously decided I didn't want the extra screen at boot so I disabled the OPROM without thinking of the repercussions | 19:00 |
| TJ- | MattTS: optimisations always bites you this way :) | 19:01 |
| MattTS | So, just try and boot into GRUB? | 19:01 |
| Lope | How can I install Ubuntu on a laptop with Full disk encryption? | 19:01 |
| Lope | Does the Ubuntu installer have an option for it? | 19:02 |
| MonkeyDust | Lope the installer asks for home encryption, not sure about 'full' encryption, tho | 19:02 |
| EriC^^ | Lope: no, you can move /boot into the encrypted partition and adjust grub after installing | 19:02 |
| MattTS | Yeah, booted into GRUB and can select Windows or Ubuntu now | 19:02 |
| ObrienDave | Lope, why would you want to do something so risky? | 19:03 |
| ObrienDave | encrypt a directory, put sensitive things there | 19:03 |
| blackm4mb4 | like porn.? | 19:04 |

| ioria | MattTS, you can select both ? | 19:04 |
| MattTS | Thanks a lot guys. It seems so obvious now | 19:04 |
| MattTS | ioria: Yes, thanks. Just booted to ubuntu login | 19:04 |
| MattTS | Not tested Windows yet but it worked fine before | 19:05 |
| ioria | MattTS, make some test... shutdown, reboot ... just to be sure | 19:05 |
| MattTS | Testing that now | 19:05 |
| ObrienDave | Lope, if you encrypt the entire drive and ONE bit gets corrupted, you LOSE the contents of the ENTIRE drive | 19:06 |
| MattTS | Windows seems to be booting fine | 19:07 |
| MattTS | Rebooted once before and got distracted and it booted to Ubuntu again | 19:07 |
| ioria | MattTS, do you have an adapter card ? | 19:09 |
| MattTS | Nah, just motherboard (with 2 SATA controllers) | 19:10 |
| ioria | MattTS, ok | 19:11 |
| brainwash | Lope: since 14.04 the installer should offer a checkbox for FDE | 19:11 |
| MattTS | Now have the fun task of setting up the OS appearance, settings, all the libs I need etc :) | 19:11 |
| ObrienDave | \o/ | 19:11 |

| diphtherial | hey, i'm attempting to format and partition a drive that's ~1TB, but for some reason fdisk sees it as just being ~200GB | 20:13 |
| burrito_ | filezilla just upped and stopped working | 20:13 |
| diphtherial | (i'm using the server edition of ubuntu 14.04, fwiw) | 20:13 |
| diphtherial | any idea how i can reconfigure the drive to be the full 1TB? | 20:13 |
| diphtherial | is there a special partition type i need to use? | 20:13 |
| insominia | hello friends !!! | 20:14 |
| EriC^^ | diphtherial: try sudo parted -l , how big does it say it is? | 20:14 |
| diphtherial | EriC^^: 'Error: unrecognized disk label' | 20:15 |
| diphtherial | here's the output from fdisk, by the way: https://dpaste.de/HLCJ | 20:15 |
| diphtherial | for some background, it's a volume that i provisioned on this cloud service my university uses. it seems that the volumes come unformatted by default, without so much as a partition table | 20:16 |
| diphtherial | maybe DOS partition tables can't handle volumes larger than 2GB? | 20:16 |
| plytro | owncloud? | 20:16 |
| EriC^^ | msdos limit for partitions is 2tb | 20:16 |
| diphtherial | well, it's called redcloud; i'm not sure what software they're using | 20:17 |

| insominia | what u mean ? | 20:18 |
| ihc | anybody outhere | 20:18 |
| diphtherial | it's possible that i fumbled the volume creation...let me check, could actually be 214 GB :P | 20:18 |
| diphtherial | ihc: hello | 20:18 |
| insominia | aeden__D_: what u mean ? | 20:19 |
| aeden__D_ | insominia: what are you wanting to know about the darknet and how does that relate to ubuntu? | 20:20 |

| * tgm4883 points finger guns at Guest55773 | 20:22 | |
| Guest55773 | use tails | 20:22 |
| diphtherial | well, the cloud management site reports that the volume should be 1000GB | 20:22 |
| Guest55773 | dont shoot me :)) | 20:22 |
| diphtherial | can't figure out why every time i try to create a DOS partition table on the thing it reports only 214GB | 20:22 |
| diphtherial | (i apologize for this not being strictly an ubuntu issue) | 20:22 |
| tgm4883 | diphtherial: did you pastebin the command output requested earlier | 20:24 |
| diphtherial | tgm4883: you're referring to the parted output? i mentioned what it was, but sure, i'll paste it as well | 20:24 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu itself, as other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information.

| MonkeyDust | x86iac this is the ubuntu support channel | 20:27 |
| x86iac | yea that is what it is and my statement applies | 20:28 |
| diphtherial | EriC^^: sorry, this is the output after having created a partition table for vdb | 20:34 |
| diphtherial | i'm just going to go with the 214GB size for now, i guess, until i figure it out. it's fine for what i'm doing at the moment | 20:35 |
| diphtherial | thanks for the help | 20:35 |
| diphtherial | maybe i'll give it another shot later tonight | 20:35 |
| EriC^^ | diphtherial: ok, np, try contacting the cloud support | 20:36 |
| diphtherial | that's a good idea; they're pretty responsive, although i hate to bother them over something i could conceivably do myself (well, with help, obviously) | 20:36 |

| Abe | hello, A school donated me 3 old computers I think I take them to recycling before they land on the dump... Is there any use for old Pc hardware like the HDD's Motherboards or Power supply? | 21:14 |
| mgolisch | how old are they? | 21:14 |
| suyash | i was installing ubuntu 14.04 lts and during installation i installed it on external drive connected to my laptop, for the boot loader i selected external drive but it installed on internal hardrive. and now it ubuntu option shows up in boot menu even if i dont have my external hdd connected. is there any way to remove ubuntu from boot menu list | 21:15 |
| Abe | I dont know very old probably 10 years they have like pentium 4 with 512 MB ram on it | 21:15 |
| compdoc | Abe, depends on their age, but ppl usually give away computers when they are too slow to be useful | 21:15 |
| TJ- | Abe pentium 4's can be quite useful; it depends on what you might want to do with them | 21:16 |
| Abe | Nobody would want to use them their is still Windows XP Pentium 4 on it... I didn't turn them on though | 21:16 |
| AEL-H | I did command "grep -ir 'mysearch' * > mytext.txt" | 21:17 |
| AEL-H | I understand this command will take a while as it will check the whole drive -- however is there a way I can check its progress? Or that I can be sure it has not hit a wall. The command has taken alot longer than expected | 21:17 |
| Abe | compdoc: CD drive's Floppy drive's Hard drives are plenty in there... I dont actually have a use for them besides recycle them | 21:17 |
| Abe | maybe I could use the old HDD's for something? | 21:18 |
| TJ- | AEL-H: which directory did you start grep from? | 21:18 |
| tahr301791 | Hi, how can I boot ubuntu live usb on a password-protected bios ? | 21:18 |
| compdoc | Abe, check the drive's SMART info to see if they are any good or not, but old hard drives are slow | 21:18 |
| Abe | that doesn't matter I still could store data on them.. or using it for a Raid system Idk? | 21:19 |
| suyash | is there any possible way to remove ubuntu listing from efi boot menu | 21:19 |
| suyash | ?? | 21:19 |

| TJ- | suyash: yes, with 'efibootmgr' | 21:19 |
| Abe | TJ-: who is still using floppy drives? | 21:20 |
| suyash | TJ: i tried efibootmgr but it still appears in boot menu | 21:20 |
| AEL-H | TJ- : I mounted an external drive (about 600GB) to a mountpoint /mountpoint/, this is the directory from which I used grep. So it should be checking around 600 gigs | 21:20 |
| TJ- | Abe: forensics, data retrieval specialists | 21:20 |
| suyash | TJ: i couldnt find efi/ubuntu to remove it | 21:21 |
| AEL-H | TF- : It has been running around 9 hours... | 21:21 |
| TJ- | AEL-H: ouch! well, you can use 'top' to check if the grep process is actually still working, or 'iotop' to check the I/O read rate | 21:21 |
| TJ- | suyash: you'd need to ensure the PC boots in UEFI mode in order for the EFI file system and variables to be available. Check manually for "ls /sys/firmware/efi/efi_vars/" I think it is | 21:22 |
| Abe | their must be a use for the old hdd's I think ? what would you guys suggest I should do. What are with the Pc cases?? should I move to offtopic? | 21:23 |
| mgolisch | its just a partition isnt it? | 21:23 |
| mgolisch | mount it and remove the grub file(s) | 21:23 |

| suyash | TJ: No such file or directory | 21:25 |
| === andrewjs18- is now known as andrewjs18 | ||
| TJ- | suyash: I might have the last component of the path wrong, so look 1 directory higher, but if you can't see the efi-vars under /sys/firmware/efi/ it is likely the PC booted in legacy mode | 21:25 |
| suyash | TJ: i am sorry, i forget to explain you that i have booted into ubuntu using live usb because i uninstalled grub while attempting to remove listing from boot menu | 21:27 |
| TJ- | suyash: don't worry, I'd already guessed that. The Live ISO can boot in UEFI or Legacy mode, and the mode used is controlled by the firmware boot menu. To make it worse, the menu it offers sometimes doesn't make it clear which entry is UEFI and which is Legacy | 21:28 |
| AEL-H | TJ- : Does 400K/s sound pretty slow to you for a typical harddrive? (obv not SSD haha) | 21:28 |
| TJ- | AEL-H: if the heads are seeking all over the disk that wouldn't surprise me. You'll only get multi-megabyte speeds when the files are large and/or contiguous | 21:29 |
| suyash | TJ: any idea what to do in my case? | 21:30 |
| TJ- | suyash: reboot, bring up the firmware boot manager menu, ensure you can identify the UEFI boot entry for the USB (you may need to scroll the list down to entries which are off-screen) | 21:30 |
| TJ- | suyash: sometimes it is so hard to tell you just have to try both entries ") | 21:31 |
| augusto | augusto | 21:36 |
| suyash | i can identify the UEFI boot enty for the live usb. the first option is Ubuntu, second option is Windows Boot Manager and third option is EFI USB Device (SanDisk USB Ultra) | 21:37 |
| TJ- | suyash: so the last one will be it by the sound of it | 21:37 |
| suyash | so i am trying to remove the Ubuntu entry not the efi usb device. the efi usb device option goes away if i remove the usb drive. | 21:38 |
| Arvid | Hello, So I am trying to setup up ssh keys following this guide: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-ssh-keys--2 however after I have done ssh-copy-id to the remote and entered my password, and then tried to ssh to the server I am not getting asked for my passphrase instead just my normal user password for the server. How can i debug this? ssh -vvv just tells me that the id_rsa was ssent but then it just moves | 21:39 |
| Arvid | on to password as auth method. | 21:39 |
| TJ- | suyash: I know. But you need to boot into the USB in UEFI mode to use the efibootmgr tool to remove the orphaned 'ubuntu' entry from the motherboard's non-volatile RAM | 21:40 |
| TJ- | suyash: that's why I asked earlier to identify if the system was in UEFI mode, because without it you cannot delete that orphaned entry | 21:41 |

| Arvid | Is this the right place for my question or does anyone have any tips on where I can get help with ssh auth to a ubuntu server? | 21:42 |
| TJ- | suyash: You tried what? deleting the entry using 'efibootmgr' ? | 21:42 |
| suyash | yes | 21:42 |
| MonkeyDust | Arvid ask away, but keep your question in one line | 21:43 |
| TJ- | suyash: aahh, then maybe you have one of the many UEFI firmwares with bugs that prevents variable deletion | 21:43 |
| TJ- | suyash: what is the make/model of the PC, or the motherboard? | 21:43 |
| suyash | TJ: its Lenovo Y50-70 | 21:43 |
| Arvid | MonkeyDust: I did that, or did you mean that my question was to long? | 21:44 |
| TJ- | suyash: a few months back I helped a user with an Ideapad, it turns out there is a known Lenovo firmware bug that causes EFI variable's to not be deleted. There were updated BIOSs issued for many models. First thing is to ensure the PC has the latest firmware version | 21:45 |
| MonkeyDust | Arvid hit the up key to repeat your question, every 15 minutes or so, until someone enters who can help | 21:45 |
| suyash | TJ: i guess i have the latest firmware version | 21:46 |
| TJ- | Arvid: that guide doesn't specify how to configure the sshd on the server to use certificates; have you done that step? | 21:46 |
| TJ- | suyash: best to check, with this being a known issue with Lenovo | 21:47 |
| TJ- | suyash: the user I helped couldn't even get the firmware upgrade to work due to this bug... eventually they found a way via Windows 7 to sneak it in, but it took a week to figure out | 21:47 |
| Arvid | TJ-: no, but according to the owner it should be configured anyway I can check? Or do you have a guide I can follow? | 21:48 |
| TJ- | suyash: I've found the Lenovo advisory: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/product_security/uefi_variable_reclaim | 21:49 |
| TJ- | Arvid: On the client, with 'ssh -vvv' you shuld see the server offer "debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,keyboard-interactive" | 21:51 |
| TJ- | Arvid: if you don't see 'publickey' then the server isn't configured for it. If you do, then look at the earlier debug messages to ensure your local ssh client is picking the correct key file | 21:52 |
| TJ- | Arvid: a fw lines after that message you should see something like: "debug1: Offering RSA public key: /home/$USER/.ssh/id_rsa" | 21:52 |
| suyash | TJ: the link you provided says lenovo y50-70 is also affected. | 21:53 |
| TJ- | suyash: I thought it was, so see about doing a firmware upgrade | 21:53 |
| Arvid | TJ-: yes that is right but after that it just moves on to id_dsa, which I don't have and then goes for the next authentication method | 21:53 |
| Arvid | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12195303/ | 21:54 |
| TJ- | Arvid: That means the server didn't accept the key, obviously. So, log-in using password then check the access permissions to the ssh directory and files: "ls -al ~/.ssh/" | 21:54 |
| Arvid | Tj-: -rw------- 1 arvid arvid 406 Aug 25 23:22 authorized_keys | 21:55 |
| Arvid | which I thought was correct? | 21:55 |
| suyash | TJ: i will try to upgrade the firmware and i will provide further updates if updating firmware fixes my issue. | 21:55 |
| TJ- | Arvid: where's the id_rsa.pub? I thought you'd done ssh-copy -id ? | 21:55 |
| TJ- | suyash: good luck with that; it was a hard task for the other user with the Ideapad | 21:57 |
| Arvid | TJ-: ehm I did, ssh-copy-id arvid@remote, Should I try to copy it 'manually'? | 21:57 |
| TJ- | Arvid: the user account on the server is 'arvid' ? | 21:57 |
| Arvid | TJ-: yes | 21:57 |
| TJ- | Arvid: something went wrong then. Try it again. On the client do: "ssh-copy-id arvid@remote.host" | 21:58 |
| TJ- | Arvid: then try 'ssh -vvv arvid@remote.host" | 21:58 |
| made2obey | Hello All / all | 21:59 |
| Arvid | TJ-: should I delete the old authorization file? | 21:59 |
| Arvid | first | 21:59 |
| TJ- | Arvid: not right now, it won't hurt. Let's not delete anything until we have a working method | 21:59 |
| Arvid | TJ-: I get prompted by password and no passphrase when I do the ssh -vvv step, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12195331/ | 22:01 |
| Arvid | TJ-: also no other files were created on the remote | 22:02 |
| TJ- | Arvid: can you show me, from the remote host, "ls -altr $HOME/.ssh/" | 22:02 |

| daniel72-72 | Hi! I have Ubuntu 14.10 and I keep getting a notificatin that I will have connections issues if I don't update to the 15 version. Does the 15 take too much on my hardware? Can't I keep this one? | 22:04 |
| TJ- | Arvid: OK, that looks correct | 22:04 |
| TJ- | Arvid: OK, if you've never added a key (except this one) it is safe to delete authorized_keys and start all over again | 22:05 |
| TJ- | Arvid: do you have sudo access on this remote server? | 22:05 |
| Arvid | TJ-: nope:/ | 22:05 |
| TJ- | Arvid: because I think the sysadmin needs to look at "/var/log/auth.log" to find out why the sshd is not accepting the public key | 22:06 |
| Arvid | TJ-: delete .ssh or just authorized_keys? | 22:06 |
| TJ- | Arvid: just the authorized_keys file | 22:06 |
| Arvid | TJ-: I'll try to get it from him on Skype | 22:06 |
| TJ- | Arvid: one cause can be if the server is configured to accept ciphers that the client can't do | 22:07 |
| TJ- | Arvid: if you can show me the entire ssh -vvv log that would help | 22:07 |
| Arvid | TJ-: sure, but if the auth.log would help alot I could always comeback tomorrow:) | 22:08 |
| TJ- | Arvid: another possible cause - incompatible key sizes. Your key might be smaller than the server will accept as a minimum | 22:08 |
| TJ- | Arvid: the auth.log is for the sysadmin to look at, not me :) | 22:08 |
| Arvid | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12195534/ | 22:09 |
| TJ- | Arvid the version of ssh you are using is quite old; what Ubuntu release is it? | 22:11 |
| TJ- | Arvid "cat /etc/issue" | 22:11 |
| Arvid | TJ-: Ubuntu 15.04 \n \l | 22:12 |
| Arvid | TJ-: The owner of the server is not the greatest at updating things.. So that could be something.. | 22:13 |
| sxclimax | Hi folks! I am in need of expert help. | 22:15 |
| TJ- | Arvid: the version of OpenSSH in Ubuntu 14.04 is "OpenSSH_6.6.1, OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014"... your client is showing "OpenSSH_6.2p2, OSSLShim 0.9.8r 8 Dec 2011" | 22:15 |
| TJ- | Arvid: and I noticed that ssh-cop-id was launched from "/usr/local/bin/" when it should be in "/usr/bin/" | 22:16 |
| sxclimax | I own an ASUS UX21 Series Ultra Slim laptop. I cannot use this laptop without it plugged in. This bug is well described to that point that Linus Torvalds worked on the issue. | 22:16 |
| TJ- | Arvid: I suspect you have a very old version of OpenSSH installed under /usr/local/ and that is taking precedence. Tell us what "which ssh" reports | 22:16 |
| sxclimax | How do ensure this bug fix is implimented on my computer? This goes over my head: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/dbf0e4c7257f8d684ec1a3c919853464293de66e | 22:17 |
| Arvid | TJ-: /usr/bin/ssh | 22:17 |
| TJ- | Arvid: and what does "ssh -V' report? | 22:17 |
| Arvid | OpenSSH_6.2p2, OSSLShim 0.9.8r 8 Dec 2011 | 22:17 |
| TJ- | sxclimax: commit dbf0e4c was added in July 2012 - what release of Ubuntu are you using? | 22:18 |
| Arvid | TJ-: So I should update openssh on OSX locally and try again:)? | 22:19 |
| TJ- | Arvid: I'm on 14.04 and I see "OpenSSH_6.6.1p1 Ubuntu-2ubuntu2.3, OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014" ... if you're on Vivid 15.04 you should be seeing a later version | 22:19 |
| Arvid | TJ-: oh I might be confusing local and remote now | 22:19 |
| TJ- | Arvid: hang on, you're on OSX? I thought you said the local was Ubuntu 15.04? | 22:19 |
| Arvid | TJ-: which one was the version and which for? | 22:19 |
| Arvid | TJ-: no sorry if that was unclear, local: OSX, remote: ubuntu | 22:20 |
| TJ- | Arvid: Ahhhhhhh! that explains a lot :D | 22:20 |
| === marj_bax is now known as marjory | ||
| TJ- | Arvid: OK... in the full -vvv pastebin were several error reports of the form "unknown mech-code" which means the version on OSX is too old, and is not correctly communicating with the server | 22:20 |
| Arvid | TJ-: err I'm on yosemite or are you talking about ssh version? | 22:22 |
| sxclimax | TJ- I was using ubuntu 14.04 but was still having the issue. It got to the point that my hard drive corrupted today because of a sudden shutdown when the power was cord was unplugged today. | 22:22 |
| sxclimax | I am currently working from a Live CD (boo...) | 22:22 |
| TJ- | sxclimax: that commit was introduced in kernel v3.5 so it is in 14.04, which has v3.13 or later | 22:22 |
| sxclimax | Well then, my computer was having unexplained shutdowns without being plugged in -- the exact problem purported to be fixed by that commit | 22:23 |
| Arvid | TJ-: So I guess I should install openssh through brew to get a later version of ssh locally? | 22:23 |
| TJ- | Arvid: it looks like that, or build a virtual machine Ubuntu guest and work from that :) | 22:25 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest3601 | ||
| Hpaman | i am wondering if anybody knows of a device file i can create to read all of computer memory /dev/mem seems to only do a little bit so i am curious if there is something with dd i can uses to dump all memory to file i know there is ways using linux c functions but i am wondeing about major and minor device numbers that would do the equivalent | 22:25 |
| Hpaman | anybody on this irc know or familar with something | 22:25 |
| Hpaman | like this | 22:26 |
| Arvid | TJ-: ok, thank you for all the help with the troubleshoot! | 22:26 |
| TJ- | sxclimax: The commit you referred to makes no mention of that problem, it is only for ensuring the PC doesn't hang when resuming from sleep | 22:26 |
| === badbodh is now known as badDick | ||
| sxclimax | TJ- Oh. I found that link following threads around the ASUS shutdown issue. Someone must have linked there in error | 22:26 |
| TJ- | sxclimax: what does the PC do if you only power it from battery? Does it start to boot, does it get to loading Linux. ? | 22:28 |
| sxclimax | It crashes once I log in, but makes it that far at least | 22:29 |
| sxclimax | If it is plugged in -- no problems at all | 22:29 |
| TJ- | sxclimax: by 'crashes' what do you mean exactly? powers off unexpectedly? writes a kernel panic to console? | 22:29 |
| sxclimax | One of two things: either the whole screen pauses and no keys or mouse movement is possible, the fan gets loud and the computer gets warm (I then have to hold the power button to shut it off); sometimes the computer immediately shuts off | 22:30 |
| === cyphase_ is now known as cyphase | ||
| TJ- | OK, the first sounds like the 'halt' instruction was executed... which should be followed by a shutdown/reboot but may not be. | 22:32 |
| TJ- | sxclimax: are you able to log-in as the Guest user, or another new user account, or does this affect those too. This test will identify if the problem is a per-user config, or systemwide | 22:33 |
| sxclimax | TJ- I haven't tried this, but I cannot test it now; my hard drive is corrupted and I am trying to recover my data | 22:34 |
| sxclimax | Ubuntu won't boot today | 22:34 |
| TJ- | sxclimax: ouch. | 22:34 |

| chas | Im using the default windows manager (Unity I believe), and I'm trying to get my window icons (minimize, maximize, and close) moved over to the right | 22:54 |
| chas | I found a lot of pages that said use the tweak tool I installed that and where it's supposed to be it's not :( | 22:55 |
| MonkeyDust | chas that's not possible | 22:55 |
| xangua | chas short answer is use another desktop enviroment | 22:55 |
| chas | seriously? | 22:55 |
| MonkeyDust | chas ah, i thought you mean the bar | 22:55 |
| xangua | MonkeyDust: neither is posible :P | 22:56 |
| chas | that's highly dissapointing | 22:56 |
| xangua | you are free to use another more traditional desktop, kde, xfce, mate | 22:56 |
| MonkeyDust | chas install unity-tweak-tool > Appearance > Windows controls | 22:56 |
| chas | that's exactly what I just said, where its supposed to be it's not there | 22:57 |

| daniel72-72 | Hi! Can someone help me? I have Ubuntu 14.10 installed and I got a nottification saying that I will have network issues if I don't update to the 15.04. Does the 15.04 uses alot of hardware or is it lean. I'm trying to keep as light as possible. thanks | 22:58 |

| xangua | daniel72-72: 14.10 stopped being supported since july 23, 2015 | 23:00 |
| mcphail | daniel72-72: 14.10 is now unsupported and you should update regardless. But 15.04 is not known to be more bloated than 14.10 | 23:00 |
| chas | I'm currently looking at the Tweak Tool | 23:01 |

| jjavaholic | no it is not | 23:10 |
| TJ- | jjavaholic: do you want to shrink or extend it? | 23:10 |
| jjavaholic | extend it | 23:10 |
| pecanqn | i need to fix a hdd, and i use this sintaxis badblocks -svf /dev/sdb -o 2GB.txt, its ok? | 23:11 |
| pecanqn | the disk have three ntfs partitions. | 23:11 |
| TJ- | jjavaholic: is there free space following the partition? | 23:12 |
| jjavaholic | not directly after there is a 6.3gb swap partition | 23:12 |
| TJ- | jjavaholic: so what is your intention/hope? reduce the size of the swap and give the space to the rootfs partition | 23:13 |
| jjavaholic | resize into unallotted space after swap partition | 23:13 |
| jjavaholic | partition/space | 23:14 |
| jjavaholic | I have thought about just creating a new /home partition | 23:14 |
| TJ- | jjavaholic: OK, that would probably be the less complicated approach. Create a new partition in the unallocated space, format it, boot in recovery mode so you're logged in as root user, mount it to say /mnt/new_home/ then 'mv /home/* /mnt/new_home/', add an entry in /etc/fstab to mount the partition to /home/ and reboot | 23:16 |
| bodie_ | I seem to have installed two incompatible versions of a library. I installed one from source, after I thought the other was gone. I need some help figuring out how to clean up the situation. | 23:19 |
| bodie_ | it looks like my linker compiled a binary using the newer version, but is using the older .so | 23:20 |
| bodie_ | (this is after running ldconfig) | 23:20 |
| TJ- | bodie_: which library? | 23:21 |
| bodie_ | TJ-, ZeroMQ 4.1.3 | 23:23 |
| bodie_ | s/linker compiled/linker linked/ :) | 23:23 |
| TJ- | bodie_: which package though? libzmq3 ? | 23:23 |
| jjavaholic | current /home won't have anything important in it so wouldn't it be easier to set mount point for newly formatted partition to /home and let new default folders be made | 23:24 |
| bodie_ | TJ-, I installed it from source, and I know I made sure libzmq-dev and libzmq3 were removed | 23:24 |
| bodie_ | I just don't know where I need to start digging to figure out where the wrong pieces are D: | 23:25 |
| mcphail | bodie_: for a start, have a look under /usr/local. Anything under there will not have been installed by the package manager | 23:25 |
| TJ- | bodie_: "ldd /path/to/binary" will tell you the paths to all the linked libraries | 23:26 |
| NekoTheCat | Hello | 23:26 |
| bodie_ | mcphail, ok. I think that's where the correct .so's were installed. I have libzmq.so and libzmq.so.5 there symlinked to libzmq.so.5.0.0 | 23:27 |
| bodie_ | mcphail, those are the ones I *want* to have, though | 23:27 |
| TJ- | jjavaholic: you still need to copy/move over the original content so it doesn't take up space that you cannot access | 23:27 |
| NekoTheCat | I'm having some problems with my (almost) freshly installed Ubuntu | 23:28 |
| NekoTheCat | Someone pls halp ;_; | 23:28 |
| TJ- | jjavaholic: e.g. you have a root-fs that has /home/$USER/.config/ and other files. If you then do "mount /dev/sdaX /home/" you've got a clean home directory, and need to create the user account directories. At the same time you've just *hidden* the files in the root-fs from view, but they are still there taking up space | 23:28 |
| * bodie_ mutters eldritch incantations in the direction of NekoTheCat's Ubuntu | 23:29 | |
| mcphail | bodie_: you can set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the directory of the libraries you want to use in preference | 23:29 |
| bodie_ | mcphail, LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/ ./go gives me the same error: `zmq4 was installed with ZeroMQ version 4.0.5, but the application links with version 4.1.3` | 23:31 |
| bodie_ | mcphail, when I run `locate libzmq.so`, it shows files that don't exist any more | 23:32 |
| bodie_ | hash -r didn't fix it | 23:32 |
| buzzbug | bodie_: history maybe | 23:33 |
| bodie_ | but I guess those are just stale entries in the updatedb | 23:33 |
| mcphail | bodie_: yes, you'd need to run updatedb | 23:33 |
| bodie_ | or whatever it's called. yeah. doing that now. but that shouldn't affect what files are seen when it tries to find a shared library, should it? | 23:33 |
| TJ- | bodie_: that error suggests 'go' was built to link to libzmq 4.1.3 but the local version of zmq4 is 4.0.5 - so which version of zmq source did you build? | 23:34 |
| mcphail | bodie_: what happens if you set LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/library.so ./go | 23:34 |
| bodie_ | TJ-, I know I built and installed 4.1.3, which is what I want. I don't know where the .so for 4.0.5 is | 23:34 |
| bodie_ | or why it's finding it instead | 23:35 |
| TJ- | bodie_: "which zmq4" maybe ? | 23:35 |
| sxclimax | Hey folks. I would love some help recovering my data. | 23:35 |
| bodie_ | mcphail, same error still | 23:35 |
| bodie_ | does that mean the .so's I'm looking at in /usr/local/lib are the old ones? | 23:36 |
| mcphail | bodie_: have to say I don't understand why that is failing, I'm afraid | 23:36 |
| sxclimax | I am booted in a Live USB because of the following error at boot otherwise: "init: Failed to spawn friendly-recovery pre-start process: unable to getpwuid: No such file or directory" | 23:36 |
| sxclimax | First of all, is this a fixable problem? | 23:37 |
| TJ- | bodie_: did you build 'go' or 'libzmq4' ? | 23:37 |
| sxclimax | Second of all, when I try to mount my home directory in my Live environment with "sudo ecryptfs-recover-private" I get empty folders called Downloads, Desktop etc. without my data there. | 23:37 |
| bodie_ | TJ-, both | 23:38 |
| TJ- | sxclimax: whilst you are in the Live ISO can you capture and upload the ACPI tables for the bug report? | 23:38 |
| bodie_ | "go" is a binary that is linked with libzmq4 | 23:38 |
| sxclimax | TJ- without instructions on how to do that, I'm not sure I can | 23:38 |
| TJ- | bodie_: so what does "ldd ./go" report as the paths for the libzmq SOs? | 23:38 |
| mcphail | bodie_: perhaps it pulled the 4.0.5 header files, but linked against 4.1.3 | 23:39 |
| TJ- | sxclimax: I can give you the instructions ") | 23:39 |
| bodie_ | libzmq.so.5 => /usr/local/lib/libzmq.so.5 | 23:39 |
| bodie_ | so I guess that's the old one? | 23:39 |
| bodie_ | mcphail, I think so, I'm just trying to figure out why and how to clean up the mess >_< | 23:40 |
| mcphail | bodie_: sounds like a nightmare. I'm off to sleep so good luck with it all | 23:41 |
| TJ- | sxclimax: "sudo apt-get install acpica-tools" and then "sudo acpidump >/tmp/UX21.acpidump.txt" ... then attach that file to bug 989191 | 23:41 |

| gp5st | hello. on ubuntu 14.04.3, installing haproxy adds the file /etc/rsyslog.d/49-haproxy.conf (contents: http://dpaste.com/39TQEPJ) on my one server this all works fine and dandy and rsyslog creates the appropriate socket, but on this one it's not and i'm having a heck of a time figuring out why | 23:42 |
| sxclimax | TJ- I have the output file but I'm not clear on where I'm supposed to attach the file | 23:43 |
| TJ- | sxclimax: use a web browser to visit the bug report page that ubottu just showed, log-in, and attach the report. If you don't have a launchpad account then instead put the file contents into a pastebin and I'll copy it to the bug report. You can pastebin it using "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" and then "pastebinit /tmp/UX21.acpidump.txt" | 23:46 |
| TJ- | sxclimax: also, when you get chance, I strongly recommend you read the additional comments I've added to that bug report. There are several reports from users that say disconnecting and reconnecting the battery permanently fixes the issue for them. | 23:47 |
| linuxnewbie22 | Hey, I'm wondering how I should go about updating the bios for my dell computer. I downloaded the driver off dell's website, however my attempt at using a bootable freedos usb didn't succeed. What's the easiest way to do it for a noob like me? | 23:47 |
| bodie_ | welp, I cleaned out the old .so's, rebuilt and reinstalled the package, confirmed they were timestamped right, rebuilt the executable, and it's still giving me the same error. I can only conclude that I am insane and will now take up a new line of work. lol | 23:48 |
| TJ- | linuxnewbie22: how did you create the FreeDos bootable? | 23:48 |
| sxclimax | TJ- I have tried the disconnecting the battery trick. It would fix the error for a couple of days then the same thing would recur. | 23:48 |
| sxclimax | I have done it so many times now that I am afraid of ripping the cable while disconnnecting it | 23:48 |
| TJ- | sxclimax: really? did oyu do any suspend/resume actions during that time? | 23:48 |
| sxclimax | Perhaps | 23:48 |
| linuxnewbie22 | Tj-: I used unetbootin. I'm using lubuntu btw. | 23:49 |
| sxclimax | I use suspend as part of my normal workflow | 23:49 |
| TJ- | sxclimax: OK... well collecting this ACPI info is the best chance of figuring it out, since it contains code the ACPI firmware tells the OS to execute for power events. | 23:49 |
| linuxnewbie22 | My lubuntu version is 15.04 | 23:49 |
| === Corey84 is now known as linux-modder | ||
| TJ- | sxclimax: OK, so that leads me to theorise that it is possible that during a suspend/resume cycle some settings are not correctly reset and lead to the problem | 23:50 |
| OerHeks | should work linuxnewbie22 | 23:50 |
| OerHeks | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DellBIOS | 23:50 |
| TJ- | sxclimax: if as soon as you have your PC usable again, can register for an account on launchpad and subscribe to the bug report and add log files to it, I can work on it. | 23:50 |
| sxclimax | It should be noted that this computer came with Windows 7 and the same issues of shutdowns while unplugged would happen on occasion in that OS. I no longer have a dual-boot to test this, though | 23:50 |
| sxclimax | I added the log files now | 23:51 |
| TJ- | sxclimax: Yes, I've read of that. That's why I think it is mainly a firmware issue where some devices aren't being reset correctly There are some fixes we can experiment with for those, too | 23:51 |
| linuxnewbie22 | OerHeks: When I booted into Freedos, it told me it couldn't find an iso or cd. | 23:52 |
| LambdaComplex | linuxnewbie22: ...Why are you using FreeDOS? | 23:52 |
| pettypierx | LambdaComplex: maybe he wants to | 23:53 |
| linuxnewbie22 | Lamdacomplex: To try and update my bios. However, my attempt failed. | 23:53 |
| OerHeks | There are more solutions on that page | 23:53 |
| LambdaComplex | And why are you asking in #ubuntu? O.o | 23:54 |
| TJ- | sxclimax: I've assigned the bug to myself, and will keep track of it | 23:54 |
| sxclimax | In the meanwhile, can anyone help me to recover my data? My last exhaustive backup is a month old and only some of my files are on Dropbox. My home directory was encrypted with ubuntu. I am trying to access these files now. Wen I log in as su, I see a readme that suggests I run ecryptfs-mount-private | 23:54 |
| sxclimax | . When I do this, I get a mounted directory with blank Desktop, Document, Download files, etc. | 23:54 |
| linuxnewbie22 | Lamdacomplex: I'm on lubuntu right now. | 23:54 |
| sxclimax | TJ- Thank you kindly | 23:54 |
| pettypierx | LambdaComplex: you have more insults | 23:54 |
| LambdaComplex | pettypierx: Those aren't insults, they're legitimate questions | 23:54 |
| linuxnewbie22 | Oerheks: Thanks, I'll try the Wine method. | 23:54 |
| OerHeks | LambdaComplex, pretty normal question, as there is a wiki for it. | 23:54 |
| LambdaComplex | I fail to see what updating a BIOS has to do with both FreeDOS and Ubuntu | 23:54 |
| sxclimax | Now it says, "Encrypted private directory is not setup properly | 23:55 |
| sxclimax | " | 23:55 |
| pettypierx | linuxnewbie22: bios of what | 23:56 |
| sxclimax | Nevermind, I found my data! | 23:57 |
| sxclimax | Huzzah! | 23:57 |
| acmeraptor | Does anyone have a working guide for setting up tightvncserver? My web searches have given me some outdated info. | 23:57 |
| linuxnewbie22 | pettypierx: I'm updating my dell computer's bios. My machine's support code is 4RKR8C1 | 23:57 |
| TJ- | linuxnewbie22: you've almost got it correct, I know the method and tools work | 23:58 |
| linuxnewbie22 | pettypierx: But don't get me wrong, I'm on lubuntu right now, not windows. | 23:58 |
| linuxnewbie22 | pettypierx: I uninstalled windows fully, so I can't use it to update the bios driver, so I'm going to try wine now. | 23:58 |
| pettypierx | Lin | 23:59 |
| === MrKomputerKid is now known as KomputerKid | ||
| pettypierx | linuxnewbie22: is it a Windows exe or dos exe | 23:59 |
