| ubottu | putolov: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 00:00 |
| selite | Where does Ubuntu store the print screens by default? | 00:00 |
| xubuntu666 | except that it won't work during a kernel panic. | 00:00 |
| putolov | xubuntu666, for instance my screen is frozen but coursor moves | 00:00 |
| Blue1 | selite: /Downloads/ iirc | 00:00 |
| selite | Blue1: it's not in downloads | 00:01 |
| LtL | selite: ~/Pictures | 00:01 |
| xubuntu666 | putolov, wait. if your caps lock is flashing, your cursor shouldn't move. do you mean that you can turn caps lock on and off, or that it flashes on and off on its own? | 00:01 |
| selite | LtL: It's not in pictures either I use the Files and it doesn't show. | 00:01 |
| selite | What a stupid fucking OS. | 00:01 |
| putolov | xubuntu666, my coursor moves and caps lock flashing | 00:01 |
| xubuntu666 | putolov, CA | 00:02 |
| putolov | but I cann't work on browser | 00:02 |
| xubuntu666 | putolov, try alt+ctrl+F1 | 00:02 |
| xubuntu666 | putolov, do you get a text login? | 00:02 |
| putolov | no | 00:02 |
| xubuntu666 | putolov, try what daftykins recommended with reisub | 00:03 |
| putolov | xubuntu666, yes | 00:03 |
| promet | daftykins, boots to a black screen, then crtl-alt-f1 over to a tty to check out logs and things | 00:03 |
| putolov | I have got tty | 00:04 |
| xubuntu666 | putolov, you can remember it in a pinch (which is the only time you'll need it!) by remembering the phrase "Raising Elephants Is So Udderly Boring" | 00:04 |
| gabmus | exit | 00:04 |
| gabmus | ops | 00:04 |
| daftykins | promet: do you have working networking at that point? "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" if it's non-zero could be handy, also an "lspci | pastebinit" | 00:04 |
| xubuntu666 | putolov, ok, log in, and restart lightdm with command sudo service lightdm restart | 00:04 |
| promet | it (Xorg.o.log) seems to be trying to load fglrx and ati modules for video, I think it should maybe be "radeon" | 00:04 |
| daftykins | promet: mmm that might depend on the card at hand | 00:05 |
| notionSunday | anyone know how to pause the boot up so i can edit the .bashrc file | 00:05 |
| xubuntu666 | I know it | 00:05 |
| xubuntu666 | I know it's Utterly. I visualize udders. | 00:06 |
| promet | daftykins, ATI Rage IIc with 2 MB of SGRAM | 00:06 |
| promet | Smokin... =D | 00:06 |
| daftykins | promet: i think full ubuntu would be impossible then, i'd retry with xu or lu perhaps | 00:06 |
| TJ- | notionSunday: edit the file. Log-out. Log-in. | 00:06 |
| xubuntu666 | or dsl | 00:06 |
| daftykins | xubuntu666: psst we're in an ubuntu channel | 00:07 |
| daftykins | ;) | 00:07 |
| putolov | xubuntu666, what is lightdm ? | 00:07 |
| notionSunday | how do i do that one bootup | 00:07 |
| notionSunday | i need to stop the boot process first so it doesnt run the .bashrc | 00:07 |
| xubuntu666 | putolov, it's the display manager that gives you your login session and starts x for you. restarting it will kill your previous graphical session and bring you to the login screen without a full reboot | 00:08 |
| promet | daftykins, just for kicks though, how might I point the X instance to load radeon. I've never quite understood this since xorg.conf.d came around; luckily never had much need. | 00:08 |
| TJ- | notionSunday: .bashrc is only read when the user logs in | 00:08 |
| notionSunday | i got it set to auto login | 00:08 |
| xubuntu666 | daftykins, fair enough. does ubuntu package something that is equivalent to dsl? | 00:08 |
| notionSunday | its for a raspberry pi | 00:08 |
| promet | if I write an xorg.conf will it default to that? | 00:08 |
| notionSunday | rasbian | 00:08 |
| daftykins | xubuntu666: er, i assume you refer to damn small linux which is an alternative distro - why would a distro package a distro? | 00:09 |
| putolov | xubuntu666, ok, tnx | 00:09 |
| daftykins | i'm seeing Russian dolls here... | 00:09 |
| xubuntu666 | daftykins, no, I mean you shh me because dsl isn | 00:09 |
| TJ- | notionSunday: Ahhh, well, Raspian isn't Ubuntu and not supported here | 00:09 |
| daftykins | promet: er you'd need a minimal config xorg.conf that explicitly only pics a driver - but the fact nomodeset didn't work is kinda telling nothing will | 00:10 |
| xubuntu666 | isn't ubuntu product, but there is no equivalent. I'm not trying to support dsl, but if there's nothing that ubuntu does that is equivalent, there's no reason to ban mentioning it. | 00:10 |
| promet | daftykins, gotcha | 00:10 |
| xubuntu666 | yes, I meant damn small linux. Puppy Linux would be another that isn't in the same space. | 00:10 |
| daftykins | xubuntu666: i'm not saying i'm banning mentioning it, just that if someone is in an ubuntu support channel it's likely because that's what they want to run :) | 00:10 |
| xubuntu666 | daftykins, fair enough. | 00:11 |
| BlueProtoman | I'm trying to get my nVidia GeForce 520M working with the latest drivers on Ubuntu 15.04 (and Optimus, of course), but I'm not sure if I actually did. How can I check what my graphics hardware and OpenGL version is? | 00:13 |
| xubuntu666 | BlueProtoman, glxinfo | 00:13 |
| daftykins | BlueProtoman: did you go the nvidia-prime route? nvidia-settings should run also | 00:13 |
| BlueProtoman | xubuntu666: And what am I looking for? | 00:13 |
| putolov | xubuntu666, ok, is there some solution to kill browser when my screen is frozen and my coursor works ? | 00:14 |
| xubuntu666 | glxinfo | grep direct tells you if you've got direct hardware rendering | 00:14 |
| BlueProtoman | xubuntu666: Does it display info for multiple OpenGL versions? | 00:14 |
| xubuntu666 | putolov, you can kill an x-window from the terminal a few ways, or alt+F2 and run xkill then click on window to kill | 00:15 |
| OerHeks | sudo ubuntu-drivers devices | 00:15 |
| xubuntu666 | BlueProtoman, yes, as well as available extensions | 00:16 |
| BlueProtoman | xubuntu666: Oh, I see, for core profile, compatibility profile, etc.? | 00:16 |
| putolov | xubuntu666, Terminal I opent with Ctrl+Alt+T | 00:16 |
| BlueProtoman | xubuntu666: Looks like my core profile supports OpenGL 3.3...but I'm still using the nVidia. | 00:16 |
| BlueProtoman | xubuntu666: *still using the Intel, derp | 00:18 |
| xubuntu666 | putolov, do you? I don't know your hotkeys, sorry. I'm not using unity. from terminal you can kill using pid or kill all processes of a certain name. | 00:18 |
| putolov | xubuntu666, how does it work with pid or to kill process of a certain name ? | 00:19 |
| xubuntu666 | BlueProtoman, oh you have an APU? a newer intel processor? | 00:19 |
| daftykins | xubuntu666: no, optimus - intel on-die + nvidia discrete chip | 00:19 |
| daftykins | BlueProtoman: as i mentioned initially, did you install nvidia-prime or bumblebee? does nvidia-settings run? | 00:20 |
| BlueProtoman | xubuntu666: I have a Intel HD Graphics 5000 and a nVidia GeForce 520M, and an Optimus to let me switch between them | 00:20 |
| xubuntu666 | putolov, well, you can get the pid using "top" "ps" or "pidof" commands. then kill -[1-9] <PID> where the 1 to 9 is a choice of signal to send, and the <PID> is replaced with the pid number | 00:20 |
| BlueProtoman | daftykins: Yes, I have them both. But "primusrun glxinfo" returns "primus: fatal: Bumblebee daemon reported: error: Could not load GPU driver" | 00:20 |
| daftykins | BlueProtoman: no you can't use them both. nvidia-prime is what should be used *instead* of bumblebee | 00:21 |
| xubuntu666 | putolov, in a terminal, you can get the manual for commands with the "man" commaqn | 00:21 |
| xubuntu666 | putolov, "man" command. e.g. man ps | 00:21 |
| putolov | xubuntu666, tnx very much | 00:21 |
| BlueProtoman | daftykins: Okay, I'll uninstall bumblebee and get back to you on that. | 00:22 |
| daftykins | BlueProtoman: cool. sudo apt-get purge bumble* | 00:22 |
| BlueProtoman | daftykins: Cool. Then what, try "primus glxinfo"? | 00:23 |
| BlueProtoman | daftykins: What do I do next? | 00:25 |
| daftykins | BlueProtoman: "dpkg -l | grep nvidia" and "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" | 00:29 |
| daftykins | er the former should be pastebin'd as well, but apparently i don't have my head screwed on today | 00:29 |
| daftykins | could just do "dpkg -l | grep nvidia | pastebinit" | 00:30 |
| finetundra__ | hello everyone, I'm trying to make a bootable usb, however my web browser crashes when attempting to download. Normally I'd use unetbootin but my computer seems to be refusing to boot a usb made with that | 00:31 |
| finetundra__ | *download uuo | 00:31 |
| finetundra__ | *uui | 00:31 |
| BlueProtoman | daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12203028/ for the first command, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12203029/ for the second | 00:34 |
| daftykins | BlueProtoman: hrmm xorg-edgers and nvidia-355, there's actually an official PPA for ubuntu for updated drivers now. 355 is a waste for such an old mobile chip though | 00:36 |
| daftykins | Xorg's log there shows no sign of your nvidia being used or configured | 00:36 |
| daftykins | !info nvidia-prime | 00:36 |

| Fyxi | Hello, how to set virtual desktops under multiple monitors in latest xubuntu? | 00:38 |
| Fyxi | I heard that its possible. On windows 10 its possible, so... War started. | 00:39 |
| daftykins | Fyxi: go to settings | 00:42 |
| daftykins | i believe you want workspaces | 00:42 |
| BlueProtoman | daftykins: Is this the PPA you mean? https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa | 00:43 |
| designbybeck | Still no Official Supported Google Drive for Ubuntu/Linux? | 00:43 |
| daftykins | ask Google | 00:43 |
| Fyxi | Yea, workspaces | 00:45 |
| tgm4883 | designbybeck: they really need to get on it. It was supposed to be out long ago | 00:45 |
| Fyxi | But I heard that its not working under multiple monitors, it's that true? | 00:45 |
| Techspectre | Can you damage an NTFS file system by reading it from Linux? | 00:45 |
| Fyxi | daftykins | 00:45 |
| tgm4883 | designbybeck: and technically, you mean no google supported google drive for linux. There are other supported google drive clients | 00:45 |
| daftykins | BlueProtoman: looks like the one - you'll need to purge _all_ nvidia* and remove xorg-edgers first though | 00:46 |
| designbybeck | correct tgm4883 | 00:46 |
| daftykins | BlueProtoman: oh you're still on 12.04 - wow. | 00:46 |
| tgm4883 | designbybeck: well yea, only google can make a google supported one | 00:46 |
| BlueProtoman | daftykins: What? No. I'm on 15.04 | 00:46 |

| BlueProtoman | daftykins: Okay, purged nvidia*, but what is this "xorg-edgers" and how do I remove it? | 00:48 |
| nrdb | daftykins, it is a LTSP server.. so yes it should | 00:48 |
| daftykins | BlueProtoman: the PPA you're getting drivers from already, visit their site for removal | 00:50 |
| BlueProtoman | daftykins: You mean *not* https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa ? | 00:50 |

| daftykins | hi | 01:29 |
| Fyxi | i mean | 01:29 |
| Guest70960 | what is going on here? | 01:29 |
| Fyxi | i have two monitors | 01:29 |
| Fyxi | and want to have workspaces under these | 01:29 |
| blitz31 | spanich? | 01:29 |
| blitz31 | spanish? | 01:29 |
| RevertToType | so on ubuntu-server 15.04 what do i need to run say a script or command at login? | 01:29 |
| TJ- | Fyxi: define what you mean by "under" ? | 01:29 |
| Fyxi | it doesnt matter if one monitor will have workspaces and second will have other, or one workspace will use two monitors | 01:30 |
| TJ- | Fyxi: you have the monitors using a single X screen (single desktop across both) ? | 01:30 |
| Fyxi | TJ-: i dont get it ;_; probably not | 01:31 |
| Fyxi | or... ef i dont know | 01:31 |
| daftykins | Guest70960: as the topic states, this is an Ubuntu support channel, for support. | 01:31 |
| Fyxi | i have extended desktop to two monitors, so i can have things on first, and other things on second | 01:32 |
| TJ- | Fyxi: with multiple monitors, the X server can do 1 of 2 things. Use both monitors on a single X screen so the desktop covers both monitors (as in windows), or have each monitor on a separate X screen, in which case there are two separate desktops and you cannot move applications from 1 to the other | 01:32 |
| Fyxi | i want first case | 01:33 |
| BlueProtoman | daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12203204 | 01:33 |
| Fyxi | but, im not really familar with terminal and used last two months windows so i forgot most | 01:34 |
| daftykins | BlueProtoman: hrmm this laptop of yours, does it have any BIOS controls over the optimus configuration? | 01:34 |
| Fyxi | i just know few commands, to install packages or compile something | 01:34 |
| TJ- | Fyxi: which should be what is configured by default when you connect the 2nd monitor. So now if you add workspaces, each workspace will include both monitors (because as far as the X server is concerned, there's just 1 very large display) | 01:34 |
| BlueProtoman | daftykins: No. | 01:34 |
| daftykins | BlueProtoman: alright, i suspect the repo i suggested does not have drivers supporting prime then :( did you purge nvidia* yet? | 01:35 |
| Fyxi | TJ-: when i change number of workspaces under settings, it doesn't add item to list | 01:35 |
| Fyxi | just i still have only one workspace | 01:35 |
| Fyxi | i can post screenshot | 01:35 |
| Saulo | (away) not here. | 01:35 |
| TJ- | Fyxi: OK, what you say makes sense... it is either silently failing to create the workspaces, or not listing them | 01:36 |
| Fyxi | TJ-: http://i.imgur.com/1zSrXhY.png | 01:37 |
| Fyxi | I tried to that before. | 01:37 |
| BlueProtoman | daftykins: 355 is the beta driver, right? Maybe I should just use 352? | 01:38 |
| daftykins | BlueProtoman: you're welcome to try something else, i'd purge - remove the PPA then try the default repos 346. | 01:39 |
| BlueProtoman | daftykins: I want a newer driver than that, though | 01:40 |
| BlueProtoman | I'll try 352 and report back | 01:40 |
| daftykins | BlueProtoman: i already mentioned it's a huge waste of time | 01:40 |
| daftykins | do you have any idea how old that chip is? :) | 01:40 |
| Fyxi | TJ-: I go sleep, probably will read logs later. If I will dont remember your msg's i will write to you privately. Good night. | 01:41 |
| TJ- | Fyxi: although the list only shows 1 entry, do the workspace hot-keys move to another workspace? From what I've read the hot-key is Ctrl+F1 through Ctrl+F4 | 01:41 |
| Fyxi | If I will lost your msg's* I mean | 01:41 |
| Fyxi | TJ-: Nope. | 01:41 |
| BlueProtoman | daftykins: No, I do not. And the site still lists my chip as supported, by the way | 01:41 |
| Fyxi | Ok, good night, i can read logs, bye | 01:42 |
| daftykins | BlueProtoman: it's old, chasing driver versions is fruitless. | 01:42 |
| Fyxi | I will sleep about 2-5 hours | 01:42 |
| BlueProtoman | daftykins: Why is it fruitless? | 01:42 |
| daftykins | because such an old chip will not have any worthwhile improvements | 01:42 |
| daftykins | versions are iterated to add support and tweak newer hardware, they're not going to miraculously triple the framerates on an old product | 01:43 |
| BlueProtoman | daftykins: Just let me try 346 on this new PPA first. If that fails, I'll rever | 01:44 |
| BlueProtoman | *revert | 01:44 |
| daftykins | but 346 might be coming from the wrong place | 01:45 |
| BlueProtoman | daftykins: Ok, so what's the PPA for the default driver source again? | 01:46 |
| daftykins | you don't need one | 01:46 |
| daftykins | just remove what was added before | 01:46 |
| BlueProtoman | But I did a ppa purge as the PPA's site suggested | 01:47 |
| daftykins | ok hang on you've lost me | 01:47 |
| daftykins | where are we? 1) default 2) xorg-edgers PPA 3) ubuntu-drivers PPA | 01:47 |
| BlueProtoman | I purged 2) so I could install from 3), as the site for 2) suggested | 01:48 |
| BlueProtoman | Via sudo ppa-purge | 01:49 |
| daftykins | right so you have 3) on and you want to...? | 01:50 |
| TJ- | Fyxi: according to a post in the Mint forums, the issue is caused when you have Compiz (3D effects) enabled. In that case you have to use the Compiz Config Settings Manager and change the desktop numbers there for workspaces to function. See http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=191883 | 01:50 |
| BlueProtoman | daftykins: Either install the latest drivers in 3) and have them work or revert to 2) safely | 01:50 |
| daftykins | yeah so you can do the first idea now | 01:52 |
| BlueProtoman | What's the PPA's exact name again? | 01:52 |
| daftykins | but you already have it installed | 01:53 |

| Fyxi | ok, i set multiple monitors, but its still dont works | 02:12 |
| msodrew | Hi. I have Ubuntu 14.04 installed with an Nvidia GTX 970. I use the proprietary graphics drivers. As a software engineer, I really want to love ubuntu (I've been a Mac OS X devotee for 10 years), but the X window system crashes randomly once every 3-4 hours. Sometimes dbus brings it down, sometimes I suspect it is compiz (though, I have zero "effects" turned on)... in general though, it is unreliable to code on. Has anyone else experienced t | 02:12 |
| msodrew | and know how to run ubuntu with the stability linux is known for? | 02:12 |
| Fyxi | i have at xfce panel widget four workspaces, but clicking them nothing changes | 02:12 |
| somsip | maki: no it's not | 02:13 |
| Fyxi | TJ- | 02:13 |
| maki | Thanx! | 02:13 |
| TJ- | Fyxi: I'm not sure why that would be, sorry. Maybe you have to switch using hotkeys for the Compiz 'displays' ? | 02:14 |
| Fyxi | where is workspace hotkeys under compiz settings | 02:15 |
| Fyxi | i want to know how to change workspace... | 02:16 |
| === dsfzxc is now known as HellZ | ||
| daftykins | just adding the workspace switcher to the panel will work | 02:17 |
| Nikesh | msodrew: It's usually stable for me. I'm a software engineer, too. But presently struggling with a new machine (also graphics drivers and boot issues..) | 02:18 |
| msodrew | Nikesh: does X server bring down the whole system for you too? that's pretty much my only quip | 02:19 |
| msodrew | ill be running Atom, gnome-terminal, Zeal, and Chrome and it'll randomly happen after a few hours | 02:20 |
| daftykins | Nikesh: so what's the make + model? | 02:20 |
| Nikesh | msodrew: Hm, no. The issue for me is that it seems like my CPU is doing what the graphics card should (seeing heavy loads when nothing but X is running) | 02:20 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: It's an Acer Aspire E11-111 | 02:20 |
| TJ- | msodrew: Linux generally excels at logging clues. For X see "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" and possibly "/var/log/kern.log" (or if using systemd, use "journalctl" ) | 02:21 |
| msodrew | Nikesh: mmm. what kind of GPU you have? | 02:21 |
| daftykins | Nikesh: hrmm, latest BIOS as per their website? sometimes there's a Linux variant for acers, or just an update if EFI boot is going weirdly. | 02:21 |
| Nikesh | msodrew: Not sure actually. Just the stock laptop one.. nothing special I'm sure (maybe that's why -- but I hope rather that I can find some different drivers and it will work better) | 02:21 |
| msodrew | TJ-: thanks. I wasn't aware of /var/log/kern.log ... ill look into that. Is systemd something I can run to get more logging? | 02:22 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: Hm.. I had it working on 14.04 after using Boot-Repair, but it seemed magical (can't remember what changed) -- I wanted to reinstall though for other reasons | 02:22 |
| Fyxi | TJ-: thanks | 02:22 |
| Fyxi | its works like harm | 02:22 |
| msodrew | Nikesh: that is, I've found, one of the most essential things to find out. If you're running windows you should be able to inspect your hardware and see if it's AMD or Nvidia | 02:22 |
| Fyxi | one things i would have is to show desktops and windows like windows OS had | 02:22 |
| Fyxi | seperate desktops with sepeare windows | 02:23 |
| Nikesh | msodrew: No windows around.. But I think I can find it Linux, too | 02:23 |
| TJ- | msodrew: systemd is the new init system in 15.04+. Up to then the init system is upstart. systemd takes over a lot of core services, including generating binary (not text) logs, and to view those "journalctl" is required | 02:23 |
| msodrew | Nikesh: generally, the state of things is that AMD proprietary drivers are absolute garbage and not updated enough, so you gotta use the open source ones mantained by xorg | 02:23 |
| daftykins | msodrew: you don't need to use Windows to detect the hardware... | 02:23 |
| Nikesh | msodrew: Ah yeah, that's my feeling. So I wonder what's being used | 02:23 |
| daftykins | Nikesh: so any luck on the acer website? | 02:23 |
| msodrew | Nikesh: nividia is better, but ive found that since im running a (reasonably) new and high powered card, I have to use the xorg-edgers special PPA that supports it | 02:23 |
| msodrew | Nikesh: open a terminal and type "sudo lspci | grep VGA" and tell us what it says | 02:25 |
| msodrew | daftykins: I was only saying that in case he was talking to us from a booted windows partition | 02:25 |
| daftykins | why are you folks talking about graphics hardware anyway, when the query is EFI installation? | 02:25 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: Not yet | 02:25 |
| daftykins | when did graphics issues come up? | 02:25 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: msodrew was talking about it, and I was also facing that, but first I just want to boot! :P | 02:26 |
| msodrew | daftykins: that's my issue... Nikesh just chimed in and wanted to talk about it too | 02:26 |
| daftykins | ah ok. | 02:26 |
| === mnkyboi is now known as freq | ||
| msodrew | TJ-: so should I forget about systemd if im running 14.04.3 deliberately for stability? | 02:28 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: OK, so I'm in a live USB and Boot-Repair says "Boot of PC is in EFI mode, but no EFI partition found" Recommends creating one.. | 02:28 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: In gparted I see /dev/sda1 bios_grub and /dev/sda2 as ext4 and /dev/sda3 (unknown.. somehow an aborted swap partition it seems) | 02:29 |
| EphraimMB | Why does the Ubuntu UI look so outdated? | 02:29 |
| daftykins | Nikesh: i'd rather start with the BIOS options if you wouldn't mind just glancing if there is one | 02:29 |
| TJ- | msodrew: Yes, 14.04 has upstart and all text logs in /var/log/ | 02:29 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: Sure, what do you mean though? | 02:29 |
| daftykins | are you sure it's not an E3-111 ? | 02:29 |
| daftykins | http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/series/aspire-e11 | 02:30 |

| daftykins | Nikesh: is that what it came with? | 02:30 |
| EphraimMB | Why does the Ubuntu UI Desktop look so outdated? | 02:30 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: Hehe yeah. That's gone. I have a new SSD in it | 02:30 |
| msodrew | Windows 8.1 is the ultimate sadness. | 02:31 |

| tsimonq2 | msodrew: No, Windows 10 is... | 02:31 |
| tsimonq2 | :P | 02:31 |
| daftykins | Nikesh: doesn't matter, that EFI is hamstringed to only load 32-bit EFI code - so no wonder it doesn't work properly | 02:31 |

| Nikesh | What file system type do I use for an EFI boot partition? | 02:32 |

| EphraimMB | Why is everyone ignoring my question? | 02:32 |
| Nikesh | EphraimMB: It looks modern to me | 02:33 |
| TJ- | msodrew: I'd suspect your X server crashes are caused by using the xorg-edgers PPA. I'd recommend purging that PPA and returning to the stock Ubuntu packages, and either use the LTS HardWare Enablement stack or use the new special PPA that providers just the video drivers: see https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa | 02:33 |
| msodrew | Nikesh: FAT32 | 02:33 |
| daftykins | Nikesh: this should help - http://askubuntu.com/questions/392719/32-bit-uefi-boot-support | 02:33 |
| EphraimMB | The Ubuntu Desktop UI isn't flat | 02:33 |
| msodrew | EphraimMB: it's up to you to customize Unity. Try Numix. http://sourcedigit.com/9432-top-10-best-custom-themes-ubuntu-14-04/ | 02:33 |
| daftykins | Nikesh: you probably would find it easier to try and boot and install as legac *if* that machine will let you though. | 02:34 |
| daftykins | EphraimMB: you're not asking a support question. | 02:34 |
| msodrew | TJ-: ah... does that PPA provide an open source GPU driver that supports the Nvidia GTX 970? | 02:34 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: OK, interesting. Though I was weary because the Legacy USB boot was really slow | 02:35 |
| TJ- | msodrew: It provides the latest nvidia drivers, without all the other X server changes that make xorg-edgers unstable | 02:35 |
| daftykins | Nikesh: if you enter the BIOS and check, does it let you disable secure boot and EFI - and enable legacy / CSM ? | 02:35 |
| msodrew | TJ-: amazing... I will DEFINTELY try that out tomorrow. | 02:35 |
| msodrew | TJ-: thank you | 02:35 |
| TJ- | !ot | EphraimMB if you don't have a support question | 02:35 |
| ubottu | EphraimMB if you don't have a support question: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 02:35 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: Yes, I did that and was able to boot into the USB in legacy mode (the boot splash was different) | 02:36 |
| daftykins | Nikesh: mmm maybe you'll be ok installing that way then, you'll want to nuke your disk entirely before setup to ensure it's got no GPT evidence left :) | 02:36 |
| TJ- | msodrew: see also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 02:36 |
| Nikesh | So.. in gparted the option to create a fat32 partition is disabled.. I created new unallocated space of 2mb at the beginning of the disk, but it only allows ext2/3/4 | 02:37 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: How do I nuke it? | 02:37 |
| daftykins | Nikesh: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M count=1 | 02:37 |
| msodrew | TJ-: im already on a fresh install of 14.04.3, so is that relevant? | 02:37 |

| daftykins | Nikesh: what hours? | 02:38 |
| Nikesh | I mean, that will take a long time? | 02:38 |
| daftykins | that's going to be instant, i told you to write 1MB :) | 02:38 |
| TJ- | msodrew: It might be - it brings in the latest kernels that support recent hardware, etc. | 02:38 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: Ah right, I see now | 02:38 |
| daftykins | Nikesh: it's also pretty annoying that you've been carrying on with your own approach whilst i've been describing this btw | 02:38 |
| daftykins | :) | 02:38 |
| TJ- | msodrew: most importantly, HWE is a supported option on LTS | 02:38 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: Is there any way legacy will be 'slower'? | 02:38 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: I see | 02:38 |
| msodrew | TJ-: "The 14.04.2 and newer point release will ship with an updated kernel and X stack by default. If you have installed with older media you can use the following to install the newer kernel from 15.04 (Vivid):" | 02:38 |
| daftykins | you'll have to try it and tell me | 02:38 |

| EmanuelNJ | Hello. not sure where to ask if here or ubuntu-server. I have the desktop version of ubuntu installed on a laptop. How can I access that system remotly with a GUI from my Windows system? I do have the ability to ssh in | 03:36 |
| daftykins | teamviewer, VNC if local trusted LAN (or tunnel over SSH) | 03:37 |
| daftykins | plenty really. | 03:37 |
| daftykins | but really my brain screams 'why?' :) | 03:38 |
| lofty | EmanuelNJ, come with me son, i'll buy you some genuines :) | 03:38 |
| EmanuelNJ | daftykins, It's a trusted LAN. Do I need to install a VNC server first? And to answer why, I'm too lazy to go downstairs every time I want to use software manager to install an app | 03:39 |
| EmanuelNJ | daftykins, I'm trying to turn this into a Plex Media Server | 03:39 |
| daftykins | EmanuelNJ: learn to install packages via SSH | 03:39 |
| daftykins | it doesn't even need a GUI running, Plex would run faster without :) | 03:40 |
| plex | turning it into a plex media sever is easy you download the deb and install it using the Ubuntu software center | 03:41 |
| freq | ##d3v01d | 03:42 |
| EmanuelNJ | daftykins, I don't have time now to lean how to install over ssh. I'm under the gun from my fiancee who wants this working by the weekend. I need to get Plex installed and seen by my Amazon Fire TV stick | 03:42 |
| daftykins | lol. | 03:42 |
| Johnny_Linux | your fired | 03:42 |
| daftykins | EmanuelNJ: and you don't believe you can find out how to install a single package between now and the weekend? | 03:43 |
| daftykins | Tux, give me strength | 03:43 |
| daftykins | actually dont i'm off to bed | 03:44 |
| daftykins | \o | 03:44 |
| plex | once installed you setup the directory for movies etc and start adding your media | 03:44 |
| EmanuelNJ | daftykins, installing over ssh yes I know I won't have time. After work tomorrow I have to visit my parents in rehab and on Friday I have a wedding to go to | 03:44 |

| chaos7theory | When upgrading to an LTS Enablement Stack, is there any special considerations if upgrading from one stack to the other? | 04:31 |
| cfhowlett | !hwe | chaos7theory, this might help | 04:32 |
| ubottu | chaos7theory, this might help: On August 7, 2014, Ubuntu 12.04.5 will deliver the kernel and graphics stack from 14.04. At that time, security updates and bug fixes for older hardware enablement stacks will cease. Users of older hardware enablement stacks are encouraged to update to the 12.04.5 hardware enablement stack or upgrade to 14.04. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/1204_HWE_EOL for further details. | 04:32 |
| chaos7theory | Thanks, although this page is more specific to Trusty https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 04:35 |
| chaos7theory | Seems weird they'd cease support on stacks when LTS is all about extensive support | 04:35 |
| cfhowlett | chaos7theory, I seem to recall reading the hwe support was rolled into the kernel after 12.04 | 04:36 |

| Toya_ | ops my bad! firefox is extremely slow on my 15.04, I did try to reinstall it and still same issue | 05:06 |
| cfhowlett | Toya_, disable ff plugins and try again. | 05:06 |
| kadiro | I confirm that too | 05:06 |
| cfhowlett | Toya_, also try launching from cli to observe error messages. | 05:06 |

| cfhowlett | Toya_, yeah I get all kinds of errors and warnings. this is a fairly fresh and clean installation of Xubuntu. firefox still runs perfectly from what I can see and the errors refer to gnome which I do not have since xubuntu. http://paste.ubuntu.com/12203707/ | 05:17 |

| __doc__ | switching between nuveau and proprietary nvidia drivers in the additional drivers settings didn't do anything (nuveau doesn't do the monitor at all) | 06:23 |
| acosonic | __doc__, do you have backup of your ETC, like etckeeper? Try reverting to old configuration | 06:24 |

| AAA_ | Are there any firefox experts in here? I have firefox window with no menu or anything displayed in it a complete blank, but the window title works and even the keybord commands work! ;( | 07:14 |
| FreeHu | Hello! On startup, Ubuntu aways tells me "System program problem detected". With no option to show me what the problem is. How can I find out whats up? | 07:14 |
| FreeHu | AAA_: what is the question? | 07:15 |
| AAA_ | FreeHu, the question is how do I configure firefox to display menu, url bar, bookmarks toolbar and the webpage itself :D | 07:16 |
| FreeHu | AAA_: you mean FF starts up in the state you described? | 07:17 |
| msodrew | FreeHu: hey dude. open up a terminal and check out some of your logs. These include /var/log/syslog /var/log/Xorg.0.log and more. You can pretty much browser /var/log and poke around to see what is suspect | 07:17 |
| AAA_ | FreeHu, exactly, It runs everything as expected, but no display, no drawing output, only the window title shows you that the window is doing anything... | 07:18 |
| msodrew | FreeHu: also, commands like "dmesg" cant hurt... that'll barf out all your kernel log messages on boot | 07:18 |
| Ethoscience | phone | 07:18 |
| AAA_ | msodrew: how is dmesg connected to firefox? | 07:19 |
| FreeHu | msodrew: yes, i know those logs. i just thought when apport tells me something is wrong, it should tell me *what* is wrong. | 07:19 |
| auronandace | !touch | Ethoscience | 07:19 |
| ubottu | Ethoscience: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch . Support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch | 07:19 |
| FreeHu | AAA_: and when you type CTRL+L, type a url and hit return? | 07:19 |
| cfhowlett | AAA_, firefox experts are at mozilla. | 07:20 |
| msodrew | AAA_: I'm answering FreeHu's question. Not the help he is offering you. | 07:20 |
| AAA_ | FreeHu: I can do ctrl+T and "load" a new webpage with no display, no toolbar menu... | 07:20 |
| FreeHu | msodrew: well, there are 912 lines in dmesg. hard to say what it is that apport complains about. | 07:21 |
| AAA_ | msodrew: yae, I noticed now, it just seemed connected, sorry... I came too late in your conversation so didn't see the previous | 07:21 |
| FreeHu | AAA_: and when you type ALT+V and enable toolbars and stuff in the menu? | 07:22 |
| msodrew | FreeHu: welcome to the world of linux. you really have to dig through log files and look for things that are suspicious to diagnose problems | 07:22 |
| AAA_ | cfhowlett and mozilla irc channel is? as you see my browser does not work :D | 07:22 |
| msodrew | FreeHu: combine that with googling those errors you find and you're on your way to victory | 07:22 |
| FreeHu | msodrew: guess i will deinstal apport then | 07:22 |
| msodrew | FreeHu: what is apport? | 07:22 |
| FreeHu | msodrew: the thing that bugs you with the "system program problem detected" messages. | 07:23 |
| msodrew | FreeHu: lol i dont think thats a solution | 07:23 |
| msodrew | FreeHu: you should try to diagnose the problem | 07:23 |
| AAA_ | FreeHu: the thing is: I had toolbars and menu enabled before and I tried the alt-v and such... nothing :) I... it is as if the rendering output is redirected to /dev/null | 07:23 |
| msodrew | FreeHu: instead of uninstall the app that is warning you | 07:23 |
| FreeHu | msodrew: if the app is so dump to report "problem" but not what, i dont trust that app. no other linux distro i know uses it. | 07:24 |
| msodrew | FreeHu: fair enough | 07:24 |
| msodrew | FreeHu: good luck | 07:24 |
| msodrew | 1\ | 07:24 |
| FreeHu | its another blow agains my trust in ubuntu | 07:25 |
| FreeHu | they want you to send them data without even giving you the chance to see the data yourself. | 07:25 |
| magicoverflow | I installed cryptsetup and i got there error cryptsetup: WARNING: failed to detect canonical device of /dev/md2, why is it trying to detect anything ? | 07:26 |
| FreeHu | apport offers a "report the problem" button but no "see the problem". | 07:26 |
| FreeHu | this is SO anti-user | 07:26 |
| AAA_ | FreeHu: trust in ubuntu? not a good idea, given their totalitarian tendencies (stripping you of options and choices) | 07:26 |
| FreeHu | AAA_: just using it because my new laptop came with it. already downloaded mint to replace it. | 07:26 |
| cfhowlett | I know it's tempting, but let's focus on the technical support topic, please. FUD, religion and politics should be discussed in #ubuntu-offtopic --- if you must | 07:27 |
| AAA_ | cfhowlett, I didn't say ubuntu is a religion ... ;-) | 07:28 |
| FreeHu | i didnt say its a political party. just that it has apport installed which prompts you to send data to canonical and offers no way to look at that data yourself. | 07:28 |
| FreeHu | which is a technical description of what that app does. | 07:29 |
| FreeHu | and there also was no fud in what we said. | 07:30 |
| FreeHu | just facts. | 07:30 |
| AAA_ | FreeHu: on the other hand, I have reliable reports of confidential and personal data being sent to microsoft ever since the early days of windows XP..., they had all the names and usernames and organisation names and such from all the installations, including the pirated ones... | 07:30 |
| FreeHu | AAA_: maybe. i did not use windows since windows 2k. | 07:31 |
| AAA_ | FreHu: when I try to closethe firefox, I get the window of "confirm close" that is also empty... no buttons in it... frustrating :D | 07:32 |
| FreeHu | AAA_: how did you install FF? | 07:32 |
| AAA_ | FreeHu: I am only reporting what the internal employees saw... and the same goes for win 10, even worse | 07:33 |
| AAA_ | FreeHu: wll, it was installed for years, but there cuold have been an upgrade to it... well. | 07:33 |
| FreeHu | AAA_: is it installed from the ubuntu repos or did you download it from somewhere? | 07:34 |
| AAA_ | FreeHu: I loaded a blank profile instead of the usual one and well it started, it seems I will have to repair the profile!!! I'm dead... | 07:35 |
| AAA_ | FreeHu: I think it could be caused by a combination of firefox update and the big freeze it suffered (10.5 GB of virtual memory) | 07:44 |
| FreeHu | AAA_: i would probably apt-get purge firefox, then install it from the repos. | 07:47 |
| AAA_ | FreeHu: yea, but you still need to repair the profile... | 07:48 |
| FreeHu | wouldnt apt-get purge delete itß | 07:48 |
| FreeHu | wouldnt apt-get purge delete it? | 07:48 |
| xangua | FreeHu: no | 07:48 |
| FreeHu | then i would delete it manually | 07:48 |
| AAA_ | FreeHu: where is the difference between comitting suicide and deleting your profile? | 07:48 |
| FreeHu | i dont keep anything important in the ff profile | 07:49 |
| FreeHu | i would just do rm -r /home/username/.mozilla | 07:49 |
| AAA_ | FreeHu: no bookmarks, even? | 07:49 |
| FreeHu | sometimes i bookmark something as a reminder "hey you could look into this later" | 07:49 |
| xangua | AAA_: just rename your .Mozilla directory and try a new one, you could also start Firefox in safe mode to check is not an add-on causing any troubles | 07:49 |
| FreeHu | and when i have time, i go through my bookmarks and read some of them. | 07:50 |
| FreeHu | but nothing important, no. | 07:50 |
| AAA_ | FreeHu: your bokmarks are in the profile | 07:50 |
| FreeHu | yes, but i dont need them | 07:50 |
| FreeHu | right now, i have 1 bookmark | 07:50 |
| FreeHu | from like 30 minutes ago | 07:50 |
| FreeHu | probably i will delete it again without readin it. | 07:51 |
| AAA_ | xangua: how do I start in a safe mode is I don't have menu, url bar or anything displayed? :D | 07:51 |
| xangua | AAA_: I don't remember the actual command , Firefox-safe-mode maybe? I'm not in Ubuntu right now | 07:52 |
| AAA_ | xangua, aah, command line? good idea... I need to find the list somewhere... | 07:53 |
| FreeHu | AAA_: man firefox | 07:53 |
| FreeHu | AAA_: will tell you the parameter is -safe-mode | 07:53 |
| AAA_ | FreeHu, great, that one man page is nice | 07:54 |
| === cz4 is now known as cz2 | ||
| AAA_ | FreeHu: and I see Glib-CRITOCAL and several warnings after I run it... nice... | 07:56 |
| AAA_ | FreeHu: but the safe mode works even less than the usual one... | 07:57 |
| FreeHu | AAA_: and when you run it with a fresh profile? | 07:58 |
| AAA_ | FreeHu: fresh profile works, but I would like my browser session back and the bookmarks and so on... | 07:59 |
| FreeHu | AAA_: then analyze what is in the profile dir and copy the important bits over | 08:00 |
| xangua | How old is this profile? What Ubuntu/Firefox version? When and how did your profile stopped working? | 08:01 |
| AAA_ | FreeHu: there are issues with that as well :(, but I will have to do that... hours and hours of work... | 08:01 |
| michel__ | I installed i3wm and let it execute the mate-settings-daemon by default. now i can control the volume by fn-keys but not the brightness. is there another daemon which controls that part? | 08:13 |
| FreeHu | is there a keyboard only way in ubuntu to start programs? | 08:18 |
| FreeHu | in gnome i use ALT+F1 to bring up the main menu and then start applications via the first char in their name. | 08:19 |
| FreeHu | but unity seems to not have that. | 08:19 |
| TomyWork | i just rsynced my home folder to my new machine (with --delete, so it's exactly the same as it was on the old machine) and now i cant log into an x session anymore. both machines are kubuntu trusty | 08:19 |

| cfhowlett | !ipad | linocisco | 08:34 |

| ubuntu | hey guys | 08:35 |
| ubuntu | i really really need some help | 08:35 |
| cfhowlett | !ask | ubuntu | 08:35 |
| ubottu | ubuntu: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 08:35 |

| Guest48877 | okay when i start my computer it says that it is running in low graphic even in fail safe mode and i have not been updating or removing any drivers | 08:36 |
| linocisco | cfhowlett, it doesn't help. I want to transfer like USB drive between ipad and ubuntu. | 08:37 |
| cfhowlett | linocisco, then you'd have been better served with an android tab. osx is not linux friendly | 08:37 |

| Guest48877 | okay when i start my computer it says that it is running in low graphic even in fail safe mode and i have not been updating or removing any drivers can anyone help me out?! | 08:38 |
| benwilber | cfhowlett what a useless answer. | 08:39 |
| AAA_ | Guest: seems like you havean older GPU that is "no longer supported", welcome to the new world | 08:39 |
| cfhowlett | Guest44528, you're on a live usb not full install. I'd suspect you haven't got the correct answers. | 08:39 |
| cfhowlett | benwilber, feel free to improve on it | 08:39 |
| h0mer | @Guest48877 what video card do you have? | 08:39 |
| Guest48877 | cfhowlett i am running the live usb right now because i cant boot from my hard | 08:40 |
| AAA_ | linocisco: well, in old XP, we used the F5, Enter to copy files... in Total Commander, it seems the new methodsare not as user friendly? | 08:40 |
| Guest48877 | h0mer its a intel i ran these 2 in teminal sudo lshw -c display and lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 VGA doesnt say much to me but maybe you know more about it | 08:41 |
| AAA_ | Guest48877 then you need a proprietary driver, and most likely the old one had "issues", what chipset is it? | 08:42 |
| h0mer | what motherboard do you have? | 08:43 |
| Guest48877 | AAA_ how will i know what chipset it is?? | 08:43 |
| Guest48877 | h0mer i have a hp laptop its a probook 430 g2 | 08:43 |
| benwilber | cfhowlett when the answer is "use something else", then the result is "don't use ubuntu" | 08:44 |
| AAA_ | Guest: either look at the mainboard or find it somehow... on manufacturers page or during startup, bios, etc. | 08:44 |
| h0mer | @Guest it's a Intel HD 4400 | 08:44 |
| cfhowlett | benwilber, do YOU have an answer to the original question: how does one transfer media between ubuntu and ipad? | 08:45 |
| Guest48877 | h0mer is there any ways i can reinstall my drivers from the live usb? | 08:45 |
| === kerdel is now known as Hardcore7 | ||
| benwilber | the answer is you can't. don't use ubuntu if you want to play with your ipad | 08:45 |
| h0mer | @Guest48877 try the following: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2222388 (update your kernal version) | 08:46 |
| Hardcore7 | Guest48877: why from live usb, can't you use the recovery or fallback? | 08:46 |
| cfhowlett | linocisco, sorry. other than transferring pictures in camera mode, usb transfer between ios and ubuntu doesn't work. | 08:47 |
| arussel | is it possible on a system with both ubuntu and window to run ubuntu and access the window systm from a vm such as VirtualBox ? | 08:48 |
| cfhowlett | arussel, ssh for sure. remote desktop procedures possibly | 08:49 |
| h0mer | if you're dual booting operating systems... only one is running at a time so I'm going to go ahead and say no.. | 08:49 |
| === Poe is now known as Guest73866 | ||
| arussel | cfhowlett: what do you mean ssh ? I mean start a VirtualBox instance that uses the Window OS installed. | 08:50 |
| cfhowlett | !ssh | arussel, | 08:50 |
| ubottu | arussel,: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 08:50 |
| Guest48877 | Hardcore7 no nothing is working the fallback and recovery mode is giving me the same errors about graphics and i tried CTRL + F1 ro do it in the console but it couldn't connect to my wifi because the ssid is hidden | 08:50 |
| arussel | cfhowlett: if the window system is not up and runnning, I can't ssh into it | 08:51 |
| cfhowlett | arussel, pretty sure that any remotely accessed system must be up and running before you come knocking ... | 08:51 |
| Hardcore7 | Guest48877: is it possible to connect your LAN cable? | 08:51 |
| arussel | cfhowlett: my question is how do you get the Window system up and running using VBox (is it possible) | 08:52 |
| Guest48877 | Hardcore7 thats the sad thing it's not possible so the options i got is find a way to update from live usb or format at least thats the options i see | 08:52 |
| cfhowlett | arussel, ask in ##windows? seems something they would know | 08:53 |
| Guest48877 | h0mer if i update the kernal will i lose anthing?? | 08:53 |
| adsc | arussel: you can't start up an installed windows system as a virtual machine | 08:53 |
| TomyWork | http://paste.ubuntu.com/12204300/ <-- I get this error as soon as I connect a monitor to my docking station. what do you suggest? | 08:53 |
| Hardcore7 | Guest48877: Hm, I never tried to change drivers with an live usb; I think I can't help you out :/ | 08:53 |
| AAA_ | adsc: why not? lol | 08:53 |
| TomyWork | except not connecting a monitor to the docking station :) | 08:53 |
| adsc | AAA_: because an installed system is not a virtual machine container? | 08:54 |
| AAA_ | adsc: the great feature of windows (XP, 98 and such) was the ability to clone it, so you do a clone and run the clone in an VM. | 08:54 |
| arussel | adsc: thanks | 08:54 |
| linocisco | cfhowlett, if ubuntu would offer wifi tethering without any assistance of wifi router in between and ipad can connect to ubuntu's mini web server, it would be cool | 08:55 |
| AAA_ | adsc: it will of course complain about the drivers, so you reinstall the drivers and such, but then... much better than nothing at all! | 08:55 |
| adsc | AAA_: yes, but it's a clone, not the same system...if you change files, the files on the installed system aren't changed | 08:55 |

| Guest48877 | EriC^^ okay | 10:24 |
| cfhowlett | zetheroo, why? if you're running a 64 OS, 64 parts ... | 10:25 |
| Guest48877 | zetheroo doesnt that depend on how much RAM you got installed?? | 10:25 |

| Guest48877 | EriC^^ okay that sounds baad | 10:26 |
| zetheroo | cfhowlett: I read online that someone needed to install the 32bit libraries in Linux for it to work | 10:26 |
| Guest48877 | EriC^^ will it erase any data or something?? | 10:26 |
| EriC^^ | Guest48877: no just reinstalling in case it'll help | 10:26 |
| EriC^^ | no | 10:26 |

| EriC^^ | Guest48877: type ls -l /etc | nc termbin.com 9999 | 10:36 |
| zetheroo | cfhowlett: the issue I am having is that .net 4.0 is not installable in a 64bit prefix, so I am stuck with using a 32bit prefix - hence the need for Ubuntu 32bit libraries ... no? | 10:36 |
| Guest48877 | EriC^^ does that have anything to do with the gpu? | 10:36 |
| cfhowlett | zetheroo, outside my area. please ask #winehq or see the wine database for that specific app. | 10:36 |
| zetheroo | cfhowlett: ok | 10:37 |

| zetheroo | cfhowlett: but is it possible to install the 32bit libraries in Ubuntu 64bit? | 10:37 |
| Guest48877 | EriC^^ yes it used to be fine it came wiht windows 8 but i have been using ubuntu on it for maybe 2 month now | 10:37 |
| EriC^^ | yes that would affect the install Guest48877 , those ghost should be root | 10:37 |
| cfhowlett | zetheroo, of course. | 10:38 |
| EriC^^ | i think you should opt for reinstalling at this point Guest48877 | 10:38 |
| EriC^^ | Guest48877: i think you've run chown ghost on your system | 10:38 |
| Guest48877 | EriC^^ cant i just give root the ownsership? | 10:38 |
| EriC^^ | Guest48877: no saying how much the damage is.. | 10:38 |
| cfhowlett | zetheroo, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiArch | 10:39 |
| Guest48877 | EriC^^ i did because it wouldnt let me open firefox without doing sudo firefox | 10:39 |
| zetheroo | cfhowlett: ok, great - thanks! | 10:39 |
| EriC^^ | Guest48877: well, never change the permissions of the system files | 10:40 |
| EriC^^ | just your home directory | 10:40 |
| Guest48877 | EriC^^ so where is no was to give root the ownsership again?? | 10:40 |
| EriC^^ | Guest48877: the files aren't all owned by root, some have different groups etc. also what was the command you issued? | 10:41 |
| EriC^^ | was it just on /etc ? | 10:41 |
| Guest48877 | yea the whole etc i had some problems that i didn't have before | 10:41 |

| EriC^^ | are the files also owned by ghost? | 10:44 |
| Guest48877 | EriC^^ yupp | 10:45 |
| EriC^^ | i'd reinstall | 10:45 |
| EriC^^ | or you have to check what a base install /etc looks like and manually fix everything | 10:45 |
| EriC^^ | a reinstall would be quicker and easier | 10:45 |
| Guest48877 | EriC^^ is there any way to keep the files i have?? i dont wanna download all the software i got | 10:45 |
| EriC^^ | Guest48877: if you haven't run apt-get clean then the files will still be in /var/cache/apt/archives | 10:46 |
| EriC^^ | you can try to copy them and in the new install copy them back or so, also you can save the list of packages you have installed right now and install them back | 10:46 |
| Guest48877 | EriC^^ so they won get deleted or anything ill just get a new system and all my software will be installed on there? | 10:47 |

| gh0st | EriC^^ i didnt even think of that XD okie | 12:53 |
| EriC^^ | press on other at the bottom | 12:53 |
| EriC^^ | and browse to where the backup is mounted | 12:53 |
| gh0st | EriC^^ uhh i already made it go to the internal hard ill just browse to it and put it in the external | 12:54 |
| EriC^^ | ok | 12:55 |
| gh0st | EriC^^ why is it gonna make a .iso tho?? | 12:55 |
| EriC^^ | so you can burn it to a cd | 12:55 |
| gh0st | EriC^^ i dont want it to be a iso tho XD | 12:55 |
| EriC^^ | it's ok you might be able to choose the file later | 12:56 |
| EriC^^ | worse case you can just open the .iso and copy the .deb's to /var/cache/apt/archives | 12:56 |
| gh0st | EriC^^it already made a .iso... | 12:56 |
| EriC^^ | that's ok | 12:56 |
| PanV | Eric, for some reason I cant install back xorg packets on rwcovery mode.. i need those fglrx packets too though. | 12:56 |

| PanV | I installed fglrx.. | 12:59 |
| PanV | updates | 12:59 |
| gh0st | EriC^^ waaaaait before we do this do you think this whole thing can be caused by a theme?? | 12:59 |

| gh0st | EriC^^ okay then we shall do this! | 12:59 |
| PanV | same result happens.. Well i can wait. gh0st's problem seems more serious :) | 12:59 |
| EriC^^ | i dunno depends i guess, it's unlikely though | 12:59 |
| gh0st | EriC^^ even if thats the case i would still need to do it cuz of the etc and stuff anyways | 13:00 |
| EriC^^ | gh0st: did you issue chmod -R ghost:ghost /etc ? | 13:00 |
| gh0st | okay so i backed up and i got the .iso insode the external | 13:00 |
| EriC^^ | *chown | 13:00 |
| gh0st | EriC^^ that is exactly what i put in | 13:00 |
| EriC^^ | gh0st: yeah, that was the problem | 13:00 |
| gh0st | EriC^^ kinda scary how much you know about this XD | 13:01 |

| AEL-H | I chmod 700 the mountpoint and then mount the drive, however the permissions become rwxrxrx as soon as the drive is mounted. The drive filesystem is NTFS | 13:36 |
| PanV | geothom, I could use xorg but steam wont open | 13:36 |
| geothom230 | PanV:reinstall the module of amd drivers and your problem solved | 13:36 |

| PanV | then tried for 2 hours each attempt to bring back xorg | 13:37 |
| PanV | geothom, what am I supposed to do? other people have fglxr with no problems | 13:37 |
| geothom230 | I'll suggest you to visit the amd site to look to troubleshootings | 13:37 |
| geothom230 | i have problem with fglxr me too | 13:38 |

| PanV | I have 15.04 | 13:39 |
| PanV | for some reason | 13:39 |
| geothom230 | maybe the solution is on creator of this | 13:39 |

| geothom230 | dont worry every problem have solution | 13:39 |
| PanV | BUT WHERE IS THE SOLUTION *RAGES* | 13:40 |
| PanV | *sigh* | 13:40 |
| TJ- | AEL-H: That is the default expected behaviour with ntfs-3g. See "man mount.ntfs" and uid=/gid=/umask=/dmask= | 13:40 |
| geothom230 | go to troubleshootings or first read man pages for fglxr | 13:41 |
| PanV | With what PC :/ | 13:41 |
| geothom230 | dont panic go to fight and win the battle of amd fgxlr | 13:41 |
| TJ- | PanV although fixed, bug 871667 has a good discussion of .Xauthority and how its incorrect ownership can cause log-in loops | 13:41 |

| PanV | hm.. | 13:42 |
| geothom230 | i have idea reinstall ubuntu 15.04 if this fix the problem otherwise shoot in head of monitor and go out to drink one beer | 13:43 |

| incindiary | Question: Using terminal, I want to search for directories with a common, sequential name, like dir1, dir2, dir3 and so on. I then want to execute a custom command for each find. I tried xargs but it didn't work :( | 14:41 |

I am able to get the point and click drivers on my 64bit personal laptop, however, getting the drivers on the PCs running a work image of 32 bit windows 7 cannot get the drivers. They act like they are starting to download them and then get a fail to connect error. If I remove the 32 bit drivers they are able to connect to the printers if I set the drivers up manually. | 14:41 |

| mekhami | ash_work: that's generally one way to do it | 14:46 |
| Sanemon | Another bit of info is that it downloads the files "pscript5.dll, ps5ui.dll, pscript.ntf, pscript.hlp" but does not get to the post script file that is set for the specific printer | 14:46 |

| skeleton | I'm back with a more interesting problem this time: I'm running cinnamon. It crashes (says something about fallback mode, if I click yes on restart it just pops up again after a but) during startup. Before I removed gnome (which fixed nothing), the gnome toolbar would appear. If I kill lightdm, it restarts and works fine. | 14:50 |
| skeleton | It seems to me like it's trying to run two desktop environments at once, but I don't get why or how to stop it from doing that... | 14:52 |
| ash_work | postgres apparently does not have permission to write to /usr/local/pgsql - interesting. | 14:52 |
| ash_work | so if I want postgres to be able to write to that, I need to add postgres to a group right? | 14:54 |
| ash_work | the group which has the priviledge to write to that dir, right? | 14:54 |
| tsimonq2 | PanV: Sorry, I am not an expert with driver problems...can anyone else assist? skeleton | 14:57 |

| ubottu | Joel: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 15:11 |

| bouhafs | please tell me, this is not my own cp is for my brother he know nothing about linux | 16:29 |

| RealPanV | I dont know which version of 15.04 should I install with UNetBootin. Help? | 16:30 |
| bouhafs | so he must return in windows to do that? | 16:30 |
| reisio | Abe: should be in your wine prefix | 16:30 |
| reisio | Abe: ~/.wine/drive_c/blah/path/to/desktop by default | 16:30 |
| reisio | or ~/Desktop/ | 16:30 |
| HexTq | no there is a youtube-dl package you can install or use minitube app, but as it got mentioned its against the terms | 16:30 |
| EriC^^ | RealPanV: any version should do | 16:30 |
| Abe | ok thank you reisio !! | 16:30 |
| RealPanV | kk | 16:30 |
| === TwistedFate is now known as Marezz | ||
| EriC^^ | admin-g: type sudo apt-get update | 16:31 |
| bouhafs | yes HexTq i can use youtube-dl but my brother can't he is very noob | 16:31 |
| RealPanV | Installing.. 1,5 mb per second :/ | 16:31 |
| reisio | Abe: probably be a .lnk file if it's in the prefix, find ~/ -iname '*.lnk' | 16:31 |
| EriC^^ | admin-g: then go to the iso and click on it and mount it, it should show on the left side | 16:31 |
| HexTq | well... you could teach him -.- | 16:31 |
| jpds | bouhafs: Well, you're going to have to educate him | 16:31 |
| jpds | bouhafs: Pretty much nothing we can do here can help otherwise | 16:32 |
| admin-g | EriC^^ what do i do after that? | 16:32 |
| bouhafs | I tryed but no chance he never enter to the school | 16:32 |
| EriC^^ | admin-g: then type gksu nautilus and in the iso copy the .deb files from Packages and paste them in /var/cache/apt/archives | 16:32 |
| Abe | I was going to say I dont have /blah ^^ | 16:32 |
| HexTq | bouhafs try minitube with him maybe | 16:32 |
| bouhafs | HexTq, i would to install it from apt-get? | 16:33 |
| HexTq | i think so | 16:33 |
| OerHeks | bouhafs, use softwarecenter, easy | 16:34 |
| bouhafs | thank you guys, OerHeks i use only apt-get, but good idea thank's | 16:35 |
| admin-g | EriC^^ i have to go eat ugh haha i'll be back soon but i did everything you told me to do so far | 16:35 |
| EriC^^ | admin-g: ok, you still have to use the installedpackages file to reinstall the packages | 16:36 |
| bouhafs | i will be back soon to ask a new question about sensors next time, thank you, | 16:36 |
| EriC^^ | admin-g: xargs -a /path/to/installedpackages sudo apt-get -y install --reinstall | 16:37 |
| kjozwiak | just wanted to stop by and say Hi! Switched over to Ubuntu from Win 10 :) ran into some hurdles at the beginning but definitely liking it far! | 16:37 |
| OerHeks | !yay | 16:37 |
| ubottu | Glad you made it! :-) | 16:37 |
| bouhafs | No protocol specified | 16:38 |
| bouhafs | minitube: cannot connect to X server :0 | 16:38 |
| RealPanV | It got this command? | 16:38 |
| HexTq | looks like win10 is the best advertising linux can get | 16:38 |
| RealPanV | xD | 16:38 |
| RealPanV | You made my day HexTq | 16:38 |
| RealPanV | at least no more IE | 16:38 |
| HexTq | flowers in the locker room thank you -.- | 16:38 |
| RealPanV | I made a. mistake and didnt buy nvidia but amd | 16:39 |
| RealPanV | !yay | 16:39 |
| ubottu | Glad you made it! :-) | 16:39 |
| RealPanV | Why ubottu ;.; | 16:39 |
| HexTq | i have hd7700 and i have no problem with it even runs wows | 16:40 |
| RealPanV | I cant install fglxr | 16:40 |
| RealPanV | or else I will be stuck into login page and login loop | 16:40 |
| RealPanV | and be where I am atm | 16:40 |
| HexTq | may be the difference im on elementary -.- | 16:41 |
| strk | I'm opening up a 12.04 after a long time, do I need to apt-get upgrade *before* a dist-upgrade ? | 16:41 |
| RealPanV | strk, update to 14.04 :) | 16:41 |
| RealPanV | x3 | 16:41 |
| auronandace | !dist-upgrade | strk | 16:41 |
| ubottu | strk: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 16:41 |
| strk | note it's a computer from 2010, ideally I'd switch to lubuntu | 16:41 |
| RealPanV | Strk, why not ubuntu? ;.; | 16:42 |
| * RealPanV feels like he got backstabbed | 16:42 | |
| strk | it runs ubuntu already | 16:42 |
| strk | but I'm afraid 14.04 will be heavier than 12.04 | 16:42 |
| RealPanV | Meh | 16:42 |
| RealPanV | its still 2 gb | 16:42 |
| strk | heavy on use not on occupation | 16:43 |
| RealPanV | K | 16:43 |
| bouhafs | minitube said operation abondonate | 16:43 |
| strk | !upgrade | 16:43 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 16:43 |
| bouhafs | and no buton to download | 16:43 |
| RealPanV | Try 14.04, and if you see you experience problens, then download Lubuntu | 16:43 |
| OerHeks | bouhafs, nothing we can do about that, try youtube-dl | 16:44 |
| Abe | got it thanks reisio | 16:44 |
| reisio | Abe: gj | 16:44 |
| bouhafs | ok man i will back to windows, my brother can't do that | 16:44 |
| reisio | can't do what? | 16:45 |
| Abe | use share-tube.eu for downloading yt | 16:45 |
| bouhafs | can't use a command line | 16:45 |
| Abe | very simple but sadly german | 16:45 |
| OerHeks | bouhafs, told you, use softwarecenter, but you want it the hard way | 16:45 |
| grio-work | Used up all my google-fu trying to find an answer; figured I'd check here. Have a Promise FastTrak 4650 that, when in Windows, recognizes the RAID5 configuration. However, when booting GNOME 15.04, during partitioning, it wants to split out the drives independently. Any thoughts on how I might get it to recognize in Ubuntu as one VD (Virtual Drive), instead of 3 1TB drives? | 16:45 |
| reisio | bouhafs: to do what? | 16:45 |
| Abe | just insert the link and click downloaden done... | 16:45 |
| Abe | u can download every file format there | 16:46 |
| bouhafs | OerHeks, softwarecenter to install minitube? | 16:46 |
| Abe | well all media formats i ment | 16:46 |
| OerHeks | bouhafs, *any* software | 16:46 |
| bouhafs | thank's Abe | 16:46 |
| Abe | np | 16:47 |
| HexTq | havent downloaded from youtube like ages | 16:47 |
| bouhafs | yes OerHeks but the problem i ask what's the software equivalent to idm | 16:47 |
| bouhafs | and no one sugessed work | 16:47 |
| bouhafs | i need a simple one | 16:47 |
| EriC^^ | bouhafs: uget + aria2 + flashgot is similar | 16:48 |
| HexTq | we did that circle EriC | 16:48 |
| bouhafs | uget not exist in chrome ( installed i can't see it ) | 16:48 |
| EriC^^ | you need to install an extension | 16:48 |
| EriC^^ | something instead of flashgot | 16:48 |
| OerHeks | bouhafs, did you restart chrome after that? | 16:48 |
| bouhafs | i tryed flashgot but forbiden in youtube | 16:49 |
| bouhafs | yes OerHeks | 16:49 |
| Abe | http://en.share-tube.eu/ | 16:49 |
| EriC^^ | bouhafs: what do you mean by forbidden in youtube? | 16:49 |
| EriC^^ | bouhafs: if you want to download youtube videos/extract the mp3, use youtube-dl | 16:49 |
| HexTq | he wants to download videos from youtube for his brother who is unable to use youtube-dl | 16:49 |
| bouhafs | the plugins said, sorry i can't download from youtube | 16:49 |
| RealPanV | They say that downloading videos is against ToS, but technically, your client downloads the Video's data.. so watching videos is forbidden ;D | 16:50 |
| === wook is now known as Guest71112 | ||
| HexTq | some time ago you could find the downloaded video in some firefox folder too :) | 16:50 |
| HexTq | you just had to watch it then convert the file | 16:50 |
| bouhafs | EriC^^, the pc is not mine, is my brother he is very noob in linux ( and in windows ) if something about do multiple things he can't understand i tryed to help him but no chance | 16:51 |
| admin-g | EriC^^ i did what you told me to do but non of my old software are downloaded again | 16:51 |
| bouhafs | i said to him i think linux have an equivalent to idm and is fast than windows, but i think i lie to him | 16:52 |
| SuperMX | hi | 16:52 |
| SuperMX | my ubuntu server isn't booting properly | 16:52 |
| SuperMX | its not the hard drve or cd rom drive | 16:52 |
| wfreeman | I had a question about X11 forwarding earlier. It turns out the trick is to force indirect rendering: ssh 192.168.1.4 -X -Y LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=y | 16:53 |
| wfreeman | Then everything works. | 16:53 |
| EriC^^ | admin-g: is the list there in installedpackages? | 16:53 |
| JCT500Thz | So, I need to ask a question. | 16:53 |

| JCT500Thz | Can you install Grub 2 without installing the OS? | 16:55 |
| JCT500Thz | I already have the OS but I took Grub 2 off of it by accident. | 16:56 |
| EriC^^ | admin-g: ok type xargs -a /path/to/installedpackages sudo apt-get install --reinstall | 16:56 |

| ubuntunoob | I'm running ubuntu 15.04 and need to change the NetworkManager.conf file. I tried to use sudoedit /etc/NetworkManager/Networkmanager.conf and edited the file. Then I tried to overwrite the original file and it denied me permission. | 16:58 |
| admin-g | EriC^^ missed that sorry | 16:58 |
| ubuntunoob | Can anyone help me get around this issue? | 16:59 |
| admin-g | EriC^^ it is saying "E: unable to locate package" to all of the softwares | 16:59 |
| EriC^^ | hmm | 16:59 |
| HexTq | ubuntunoob try sudo nano | 16:59 |
| EriC^^ | admin-g: try xargs -a /path/to/installedpackages -0 sudo apt-get install --reinstall | 17:00 |
| ubuntunoob | HexTq: Can you give me a more specific commant? I am completely new to the command line. | 17:00 |
| ubuntunoob | *command | 17:01 |
| HexTq | sudo nano filename opens it in cli and you can save it when you edit it but i suggest you make a copy of it before tinkering | 17:01 |
| admin-g | EriC^^ here is the outcome http://paste.ubuntu.com/12207284/ | 17:01 |
| Abe | ubuntunoob: did you try ~/path -- chmod +x * ? | 17:01 |
| EriC^^ | admin-g: try for i in $(cat /path/to/installedpackages); do sudo apt-get -y install --reinstall $i; done | 17:02 |
| ubuntunoob | Abe: I have no idea what that does | 17:02 |
| admin-g | EriC^^ i think its installing it o.o | 17:03 |
| admin-g | EriC^^ it sure looks like it | 17:03 |
| Abe | chmod is for changing file permissions so you can change them... read " man chmod " in terminal for more information | 17:04 |
| ubuntunoob | i tried sudo nano and it works | 17:04 |
| HexTq | ubuntunoob something like sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/Networkmanager.conf then when finished with the edit CTRL+X | 17:04 |
| ubuntunoob | Im trying to fix my network connection | 17:04 |
| ubuntunoob | it says unmanaged | 17:04 |
| Abe | good job ubuntunoob | 17:04 |
| Abe | I thought you are getting a permission denied or something | 17:05 |
| HexTq | he did | 17:05 |
| ubuntunoob | Can anyone recommend a good resource that is beginner friendly for me to learn the command line? | 17:06 |
| admin-g | EriC^^ huston we got a problem (more of an error) | 17:06 |
| somsip | !bash | ubuntunoob | 17:06 |
| ubottu | ubuntunoob: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 17:06 |
| Abe | ubuntunoob: youtube, ubuntu-forums, man pages, and time | 17:06 |
| HexTq | http://linuxcommand.org/lc3_lts0010.php could be a good start | 17:07 |
| === voronwe is now known as Guest99076 | ||

| ubottu | somsip: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 17:07 |
| thei0173 | that way youll get our manual for what the command starts with | 17:07 |

| EriC^^ | admin-g: ? | 17:08 |
| ash_work | is there a ubuntu equiv to windows "run as" ? | 17:08 |
| somsip | ash_work: sudo -u | 17:08 |
| ash_work | or like, can you sudo open a file with a program? | 17:08 |

| nehaljwani | Is there a known solution to this? | 17:09 |
| admin-g | EriC^^ oracle-java9-installer and spotify-client and oracl and indicator-sysmonitor and libgcrypt11 all got this error "E: Unable to locate package" | 17:10 |
| Abe | nehaljwani: o_O | 17:10 |
| ash_work | somsip: I got it I guess, it was sudo atom file.txt | 17:10 |
| ash_work | somsip: because this dir is linked to a volume on a docker container, I don't have the normal permissions | 17:10 |
| nehaljwani | Abe: ? | 17:11 |
| Abe | nehaljwani: I've never seen this before so I don't have a solution for you. does it look like that right now? | 17:11 |
| nehaljwani | Yeah | 17:12 |
| HexTq | my guess would be something with the graphics driver | 17:12 |
| Abe | ok I try using google for you. I hope I can find something for you | 17:12 |
| EriC^^ | admin-g: they might be from ppa's | 17:12 |
| HexTq | or maybe some broken font | 17:12 |
| admin-g | EriC^^ ohh right right sorry | 17:13 |
| EriC^^ | admin-g: did it reinstall them without downloading btw? ( the rest of the packages ) | 17:13 |
| admin-g | EriC^^ yea everything went smoothly just the ones from pps's that failed but i listed them and will get them manually | 17:14 |
| EriC^^ | ok, cool | 17:14 |
| SuperMX | what can i do if ubuntu server crashes at boot? | 17:15 |
| HexTq | look at the logs | 17:15 |
| === kpease_ is now known as kpease | ||
| HexTq | telling server crashes at boot leaves a pretty big hole for why | 17:16 |
| Abe | nehaljwani: It could be that a language package is corrupt or something try an regular Update restart try sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig and restart... hope it helps if not you need to wait for an professional | 17:16 |
| apb1963 | Is anyone able to use pipelight on ubuntu 14.04 with firefox? | 17:17 |
| MarchHare | Got a question about Ubuntu drivers/packages that enable screen tilting in 14.04. I'm running a Dell Inspiron 7558 (I know, not certified), and I've installed the OS with very few problems. However, the biggest thing is when I swing the screen into tablet mode and tilt it to portrait orientation, obviously the driver to do this isn't installed | 17:17 |
| apb1963 | I can't get it to work | 17:17 |
| MarchHare | I did find a "magick-rotation" package, but that didn't seem to install. | 17:17 |
| nehaljwani | Abe: it's not font specific | 17:17 |
| nehaljwani | even if I open a terminal ad type some commands | 17:18 |
| HexTq | are you sure nehaljwani | 17:18 |
| apb1963 | #pipelight channel is dead | 17:18 |
| nehaljwani | it goes awry | 17:18 |
| Abe | maybe language specific ? idk | 17:18 |
| MarchHare | Or rather, I found a magick-rotation tar.bz2 that the installer wanted to open, but didn't seem to actually do anything with | 17:18 |
| HexTq | then something with the graphics driver thats my last guess -.- | 17:18 |
| MarchHare | So the question is: Where can I find the specific driver packages to enable this in the certified laptops that do work? | 17:19 |
| Abe | nehaljwani: this is really odd... maybe I recommend you reinstalling Ubuntu from scratch. ?? | 17:19 |

| RealPanV | Hello | 17:29 |
| RealPanV | Eric you still here? | 17:29 |
| rodd | dionysus69: the t450s has this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1452318 | 17:29 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1452318 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) "Faulty behavior when resuming from suspend" [High,Confirmed] | 17:29 |
| rodd | dionysus69: which carbon you got? | 17:30 |
| dionysus69 | rodd: 3rd edition, it works great with last kernel | 17:30 |
| RealPanV | EriC^^, you still here? | 17:30 |
| dionysus69 | rodd: pretty much everything works, I didnt try using fingerprint reader, I had to tinker just a little bit with wifi | 17:30 |
| rodd | dionysus69: u on 14 or 15? | 17:30 |
| Abe | nehaljwani: they say it has to do with the display driver right? so maybe when using the proprietary one will help...? But like I said. I cannot help you with this because I don't know where the Problem lies... are you just using it in VMWare ? | 17:31 |
| dionysus69 | if you are asking screen size, it comes with 14 | 17:31 |
| rodd | dionysus69: sorry ubuntu version | 17:31 |
| nehaljwani | Abe: I am using qemu ,not vmware | 17:31 |
| Abe | but it is a Virtualbox right? | 17:31 |
| dionysus69 | rodd: haha 15.04, which is actually what I recommend, easiest way to fix problem with compatibility is to try newer version, maybe that kernel solved that problem :) | 17:32 |
| rodd | dionysus69: yeah guess so, your specs should be similar to what I got | 17:32 |
| rodd | intel graphicc ards | 17:32 |
| dionysus69 | depends on many things why waking from suspend could be faulty, I have experienced that due to ATI graphics card on t500 | 17:32 |
| dionysus69 | if you have intel graphics then for sure try 15.04, I should fix it. even if it doesnt, i would still not quit ubuntu :D | 17:33 |
| rodd | ill give it a try to 15 before going with fedora | 17:33 |
| rodd | on mine, the t440s im already into arch lands | 17:33 |
| HexTq | umm i throwed fedora so far away i hopefully never see it again | 17:33 |
| dionysus69 | come on ubuntu is more solid than fedora | 17:34 |
| rodd | I couldnt brwose for 5 minutes no matter in what browser | 17:34 |
| Abe | well maybe it's just quemu then. I thought you really boot it and it came up like that pew... try using a different hardware virtualization program like Virtualbox from Oracle? | 17:34 |
| dionysus69 | never tried arch, I have a feeling if i try it, i will spend month just to set it up | 17:34 |
| rodd | that i'd get the bad-rss counter error | 17:34 |
| rodd | maybe it could be related to spotify preview app | 17:34 |
| HexTq | dionysus did you look at manjaro? | 17:34 |
| rodd | dionysus69: yea, ive spent two days so far | 17:34 |
| dionysus69 | bad rss error, like computer hangs and boots u off and writes bad-rss error at the terminal or ? | 17:35 |
| rodd | dionysus69: well the tabs and a few apps crash, im forced to reboot then I get the dialog 'ubuntu encountered an error...' | 17:35 |
| rodd | and there it says bad rss counter | 17:35 |
| rodd | i was pissed off didnt dig much | 17:35 |
| rodd | couldnt work | 17:36 |
| dionysus69 | i google bad rss error nothing comes up | 17:36 |
| dionysus69 | you need to search for something more specific | 17:36 |
| arthar360 | Hi, I am trying to configure a mail server. Everything is working except that my mail is going to spam of gmail and yahoo. I have proper SPF and DKIM. What I think is going wrong is that The Mail Headers in Gmail says "Received: from localhost (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1])".

| pbx | arthar360, your MTA is your mail server. each one has its own support community. e.g. when i ran postfix i got a lot of out #postfix here on freenode | 17:48 |
| pbx | arthar360, major services like google and yahoo often have guides about how to stay on their good side when sending mail. i don't have urls but that's worth looking up. | 17:49 |
| Abe | arthar360: I'm not into servers that much anyway you should listen to pbx | 17:49 |

| arthar360 | pbx, I did follow all guides, googled for a week.. tired. Every mail test gives 10/10 result. Neither the mail has any spam or looking like spam content. I am sure that the mistake is silly in my configuration. The localhost.localdomain in Received Headers is the culprit | 17:52 |

| terraview | hi guys, I'm trying to give a 2nd Linux user permission to edit files in /var/www but getting permission errors. So far I created a new group, added both olduser and newuser to that group, and did >chown :group /var/www/file.php | 17:59 |
| terraview | yet the new user still can't edit the file... any ideas? | 17:59 |
| TJ- | terraview: the group will also need write permission for the directory, so file metadata can be updated | 17:59 |
| terraview | TJ-: I did that - the directory is 775 and the file inside is 664. It's actually /var/www/site.com/ and /var/www/site.com/test.php | 18:01 |
| HexTq | its not the brand of the USB its the class type that determines the speed of a pendrive i think | 18:01 |

| TJ- | terraview: Does the group have traversal permissions from / to /var/www/site.com/ (the x bit on directories) ? | 18:03 |
| HexTq | i think class 2 is like 2mb/s while class10 is 10mb/s but that may only apply to sd cards | 18:04 |
| terraview | TJ-: no, both /var and /var/www are owned by group root[0]. Are you saying I should apply the group to the full path recursively, starting with /var?? | 18:05 |
| TJ- | HexTq: that does indirectly affect USB-connected Flash storage, because internally the cheaper controller/flash modules often have modules with slower write/read access | 18:05 |
| HexTq | could be, i just forget my pendrive is not a pendrive its a 4slot cardreader | 18:06 |
| TJ- | terraview: Well, if the 'Other' permissions doesn't allow 'x' on the directories, then the group or user will need 'x' in order to traverse from / to the target dir | 18:06 |
| HexTq | and there is a very noticeable difference in speed between cards | 18:06 |

| ioria | Voyage, xrandr ? | 18:26 |
| TJ- | regedit: The problem is, the image you have in the file doesn't start with a partition table, it looks like you originally only backed up the partition e.g. dd if=/dev/sdc1 ... *not* dd if=/dev/sdc | 18:27 |

| regedit | TJ-: strange, i'm pretty sure i did dd on the entire device not just a specific number of the device... i may be wrong tho | 18:28 |
| TJ- | regedit: then check it's content with "file /path/to/foo" | 18:28 |
| Voyage | ioria, xrand whats that? | 18:28 |
| TJ- | regedit: if 'foo' is just a file-system image, 'file' will tell you what type | 18:28 |

| ioria | Voyage, tells you what displays are connected and on what resolution | 18:29 |
| regedit | TJ-: yep i'm able to mount the img file as a filesystem and browse in it | 18:30 |
| Voyage | ioria, thanks, | 18:30 |
| TJ- | regedit: oh, well then that confirms it is just a file-system image from a partition then. | 18:31 |
| ioria | Voyage, np | 18:31 |
| regedit | interesting... maybe i did do the sdX# then | 18:31 |

| OneM_Industries | I am having an issue where the drive is refusing to let me create any new file or folders in it, as I require root to do so. | 18:37 |
| HexTq | why would you want to be root to access a drive | 18:38 |
| OneM_Industries | Problem is, this was supposed to be a backups drive. | 18:38 |
| Gallomimia | perhaps you should change how its mounted? or the permissions on the drive? | 18:38 |
| regedit | TJ-: well strangely enough looks like i did `dd` the entire device after all.. the exact command was: sudo dd if=/dev/sdc of=/media/regedit/foo/bar/hdd.img | 18:38 |
| Gallomimia | or you could run your commands to copy files on there as root with sudo ? | 18:38 |
| TJ- | OneM_Industries: if the file-system is ext* the default permissions of its root dir with be root:root; you can change that if you want to | 18:38 |
| OneM_Industries | It is the permissions on the drive. | 18:38 |

| Gallomimia | sudo chown (yourusername) /path/to/your/drive | 18:39 |

| Gallomimia | Voyage: multiseat is something i gave up on awhile ago. i'd like to figure it out again. but you have 2 displays, that sounds good enough for me. | 18:40 |
| TJ- | regedit: Can you do "pastebinit <(dd if=/media/regedit/foo/bar/hdd.img count=4 | hexdump -C)" | 18:40 |
| regedit | TJ-: yep in the ##linux channel i mentioned i was following some tutorial which instructed me to use the loop option and specify offset (sector size * begin sector) | 18:40 |
| Voyage | Gallomimia, someone said : <rkeene> Voyage, If you only have one device you cannot share it between two processes | 18:41 |

| Siente | yeah :) | 18:46 |
| Siente | I've used it all the time | 18:46 |
| drkjstr | This was back in like 2010 | 18:46 |
| Siente | the installer from the web site | 18:46 |
| Siente | but wanted to ask here now before using it again | 18:46 |
| Gallomimia | TJ-: is it possible to multiseat with 1 gpu? | 18:46 |
| TJ- | Voyage: If you want to use multiseat with a single GPU, you'll need to have almost identical "Device" sections for both heads, *but* you'll need to tell each "Device" to only use one head, usinf the "Screen X" option (where X will be 0 for the first head and 1 for the second) | 18:47 |
| OneM_Industries | Ok, found the issue. I had ownership over the drive, but not the mountpoint. | 18:47 |
| drkjstr | If you are using 15.04, it seems the web installer is the only option. But, the official is usually via apt. | 18:47 |

| TJ- | Voyage: see "man xorg.conf" and look at the "DEVICE SECTION" and its definition of "Screen number" | 18:48 |
| Gallomimia | Voyage: TJ- that link is from the bottom of the page on multiseat. has some tweaks for single card. it's a hard problem. i hope to tackle it again soon | 18:48 |
| drkjstr | OneM_Industries, did you do that with sudo? | 18:48 |
| TJ- | regedit: OK, that is an MBR (55 aa at offset 510 (0x1FE) | 18:49 |
| Gallomimia | Voyage: i'm going to spy on the "known to be working" setups. they posted their configs and stuff! | 18:49 |
| Voyage | TJ-, Gallomimia so multiseat with one card is a DIFFICULT thing to do? | 18:50 |
| Gallomimia | i dunno. multiseat with any number of cards is difficult. | 18:50 |
| Gallomimia | as i said, i tried and gave up. still got things to iron out of my 1 seat setup | 18:50 |
| Siente | I'll need to have a web server I can install php5 mysql and php5-mysql with sudo apt-get install right and what else I'll need? | 18:51 |
| OneM_Industries | drkjstr: Yes, I now have full permissions over the drive. | 18:51 |
| Ben64 | Siente: depends what you need | 18:51 |
| TJ- | Voyage: use 2 "Device" sections in the xorg.conf with different "Identifier", using "Screen 0" for 1 and "Screen 1" for the other, and the BusID identical | 18:51 |
| Siente | Ben64, web server so I'll need apache php mysql | 18:52 |
| Gallomimia | OneM_Industries: good job. rule of thumb: if you need root permissions for something, use them to get yourself permission to do that thing without root. doing things as root is dangerous 100% of the time. | 18:52 |
| regedit | TJ-: ok, soo... what might that mean, regarding all the other weird stuff going on about it? | 18:52 |

| drkjstr | OneM_Industries, glad you figured it out =] | 18:54 |
| jhutchins | Nikesh: How do you know the keyboard isn't working? | 18:56 |
| drkjstr | OneM_Industries, Gallomimia, I did something similar with a hard drive connected to my router for an FTP. I had to use sudo to copy the files to a new drive, and then assign ownership back to the user needed for the router. | 18:56 |

| TJ- | regedit: if you want to access file-systems in partitions inside a raw disk image, you first losetup the raw image, then you run 'partprobe /dev/loopX' on it, which reads the partition table and gives it to the kernel.

| ROPA | daftykins, posted at http://paste.ubuntu.com/12208522/ | 19:48 |
| TJ- | regedit: if it had a GPT you'd have many other problems because GPT has 2 PTs, one at the end of the device, so finding it relies on the size of the image matching the original device exactly | 19:49 |
| TJ- | regedit: if the file contains an ISO image, or is just a file-system, then there doesn't need to be a PT | 19:49 |
| regedit | TJ-: does any of this have to do also with why win8 context menu "Mount" option results in error? or is it simply that w95 MBR LBA is simply unsupported on windows 8+ | 19:50 |
| TJ- | regedit: I suspect Windows expects the file to only contain a file-system, but I've no recent knowledge of what Windows expects | 19:51 |

| EriC^^ | then type lsblk i think it should show up and you can mount as TJ- said about the whole thing | 19:52 |
| uioo | TJ-: 'recent knowledge' - I find this interesting, it's like when vegetarians say that they have difficulty remembering what meat tastes like.... sort of reminding oneself that one has distanced themselves from former things be it meat or Microsoft | 19:53 |
| TJ- | regedit: I'm not sure what Windows expects; you'd need to find that out to know the best format | 19:53 |
| EriC^^ | oh, talking about windows too.. | 19:53 |
| EriC^^ | nevermind | 19:53 |
| uioo | TJ-: again with 'not sure what windows excpects'.... | 19:53 |
| TJ- | EriC^^: we've already done that; the original issue was that there appeared to be a garbage partition table, but that was because an offset was used for the loop mount | 19:53 |
| regedit | generally if i asked "how should i dd my drive into an image i can mount and browse files & folders", would you suggest i do anything different than what i did? | 19:55 |
| TJ- | uioo: not especially; but I have no idea which particular part of Windows regedit is using to mount the image, or what that expects to find. If it can't mount this image then it seems clear it only expects a file-system image, not a raw disk with partition table | 19:56 |
| TJ- | regedit: dd is fine; what is important is *which* set of sectors you save... the entire device including partition table, or just the file-system | 19:56 |

| xeth | im looking for performance which is better? | 19:58 |
| daftykins | Nikesh: i told you yesterday the entire reason behind that one not working :) | 19:58 |
| regedit | TJ-: gotcha ok | 19:58 |
| xeth | looks can be changed | 19:58 |
| TJ- | Nikesh: is this the UEFI 32-bit bootable device? | 19:58 |
| daftykins | Nikesh: TJ- sure is | 19:59 |
| * TJ- runs off to dinner to avoid being drawn in :) | 19:59 | |
| daftykins | 8D | 19:59 |
| regedit | TJ-: actually now that i have this entire drive image (not just specific filesystem/partition/wtvr) would it be easy for me to produce this filesystem-specific image off of it? | 20:00 |
| geekdinazor | hi, i have question about iptables | 20:00 |
| geekdinazor | can you help me ? | 20:00 |
| daftykins | geekdinazor: probably better in #ubuntu-server or ##networking then | 20:00 |
| loula | hi #ubuntu | 20:00 |
| regedit | oh TJ-ran off :) | 20:00 |
| Trinity | is there a way to have some applications use a vpn | 20:01 |
| Trinity | and others to not? | 20:01 |
| daftykins | Trinity: not easily probably. | 20:01 |
| loula | i've got a question : i'm searching for some Hamachi equivalent to play easily with a friend. I know hamachi has a linux version, but it seems there are issues communicating between different OSs. Does anyone knos about easy-to-use alternatives? | 20:02 |
| daftykins | loula: not easy, nope. | 20:03 |
| Trinity | daftykins: any suggestions on where to find some resources if I were interested? | 20:03 |
| loula | thanks daftykins . and "medium well documented" alternatives? :D | 20:03 |
| daftykins | Trinity: nope | 20:03 |
| daftykins | loula: you sure you need to be on the same network - not just port forward a game server? | 20:04 |
| daftykins | Trinity: better approach, VM the tasks you want on one side and VPN client that. | 20:04 |
| hydrian | Ello All | 20:04 |
| Trinity | daftykins: eh, :/ i guess thats one of the easiest ways | 20:04 |
| daftykins | Nikesh: is there a reason you refuse to accept the solution from me? :) | 20:04 |
| hydrian | I'm currently have a problem setting a samba share's create directory permissions | 20:05 |
| loula | daftykins, i have no skills to set up a server, so yeah, the simulated LAN is what i'm searching for | 20:05 |
| HexTq | loula take a look at freelan | 20:05 |
| daftykins | loula: no _game_ server, what are the things you're trying to play together? | 20:05 |
| loula | daftykins, minecraft | 20:05 |
| hydrian | I've set directory mask and force directory mode to 0770. But yet when I create a directory over the share I'm getting 0750 | 20:05 |
| loula | HexTq, thanks | 20:05 |
| daftykins | loula: oh good lord that's the most basic of them all | 20:05 |
| Trinity | pretty sure there's a guide on setting up minecraft on ubuntu | 20:05 |
| hydrian | Any ideas? | 20:05 |
| EriC^^ | hydrian: umask is for file creation | 20:05 |
| daftykins | loula: run it, forward a port, tell your friend to connect- job done. | 20:06 |
| daftykins | Trinity: +1 roughly 2 million i'd imagine | 20:06 |
| daftykins | (guides) | 20:06 |
| HexTq | and 3 of them works today -.- | 20:06 |
| hydrian | EriC^^: I'm using the (force) directory mode/mask directives not the create mode/mask directives. | 20:06 |
| loula | daftykins, how do you "forward a port"? | 20:06 |
| daftykins | loula: look it up online for your model of router. | 20:07 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: Yes. I booted with Legacy mode and my keyboard wouldn't work to input anything into the installation fields | 20:07 |
| loula | oh, thanks | 20:07 |
| EriC^^ | hydrian: ah ok, i don't know much about samba, sorry | 20:07 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: Actually, my touchpad either (I had to plug in a mouse) | 20:07 |
| HexTq | most likely you can do it over the webadmin ui of your router loula | 20:07 |
| daftykins | Nikesh: no i'm talking about the whole installing avoiding the 32-bit EFI issue - legacy was _YOUR_ idea if you remember. | 20:07 |
| loula | thanks daftykins HexTq i'm investigating this | 20:08 |
| HexTq | welcome | 20:08 |
| eshant | Do anyone know about a notebook app to make notes on? | 20:09 |
| HexTq | i use rednotebook | 20:09 |
| eshant | ok..any other alternative in your knowledge? | 20:11 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: Sorry, I'm confused what you mean | 20:11 |
| HexTq | i tried a couple but rednotebook is the best | 20:11 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: I thought you were suggesting to install via Legacy. What are rather, though? | 20:12 |
| HexTq | well... at least for my needs | 20:12 |
| eshant | ok great! thanks ! HexTq | 20:12 |
| jhutchins | eshant: vi | 20:12 |
| HexTq | thats a text editor | 20:13 |
| eshant | jhutchins: by notebook app, I also mean an app where I can do more than just writing text | 20:13 |
| jhutchins | eshant: More like what? | 20:13 |
| HexTq | rednotebook has calendar,timestap and #-s | 20:13 |
| jhutchins | Interesting. | 20:14 |
| eshant | where you can put diagrams/architecture also | 20:14 |
| HexTq | well that i dont know i just use text | 20:14 |
| jhutchins | Heh. Already installed on my system. | 20:15 |
| eshant | I was searching on google and there are few apps like that, comparing all of them | 20:15 |
| daftykins | Nikesh: ok here it is for the second time then - http://askubuntu.com/questions/392719/32-bit-uefi-boot-support | 20:15 |
| NorrisBreeze | What is the best to install LAMP on Ubuntu Desktop 14.04? | 20:16 |
| daftykins | NorrisBreeze: sudo tasksel | 20:17 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: OK. I'm skeptical of that because I don't know where you think this is a 32-bit UEFI machine? Finally, just a few days ago I got this all working with Boot-Repair but I stupidly wanted to do a re-install | 20:17 |
| NorrisBreeze | Awesome! | 20:17 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: But now I can't figure out what I did previously to get it to work | 20:17 |
| daftykins | Nikesh: i know so because it's a windows 8.1 with Bing machine you said, which is what results in this | 20:17 |
| ash_work | apt-get install installs packages, right? and php5-pgsql is a package right? this is intended to avoid compiling PHP yourself, right? so why wouldn't the pg_connect function be available? hmm? | 20:17 |
| NorrisBreeze | I am new to Ubuntu, why isn't LAMP available in Software Center? | 20:18 |
| ash_work | I should check the info file I guess | 20:18 |
| daftykins | Nikesh: so you have two choices really, try it - or continue enjoying a non-working machine | 20:18 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: Interesting. My former experience says otherwise :P but I'll try it | 20:18 |
| Siente | my version of git is 1.9.1 how to update it to 2.5.0 ? | 20:18 |
| daftykins | Nikesh: what of the past makes you think it's untrue? | 20:19 |
| daftykins | Nikesh: you didn't even know what 32-bit EFI was prior to mention. | 20:19 |
| ash_work | or perhaps the modules aren't enabled or something | 20:19 |
| tsimonq2 | Not that I am a Windows user or anything, but is it possible to do an install of Ubuntu on a fat16 partition? | 20:20 |
| daftykins | tsimonq2: no | 20:20 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: What I mean is, I didn't have to do anything special previous except run Boot-Repair, which possibly does the above magically, only this time it isn't working. | 20:20 |
| tsimonq2 | daftykins: How about fat32? | 20:20 |
| Bashing-om | !lamp | NorrisBreeze | 20:20 |
| ubottu | NorrisBreeze: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process. | 20:20 |
| daftykins | tsimonq2: no. only compatible file systems | 20:20 |
| daftykins | NorrisBreeze: mmm as Bashing-om has pointed out, i think you need to do some research as to what it actually means ;) | 20:21 |
| HexTq | tsimonq2 you could using a live usb but on a hdd i dont think | 20:21 |
| daftykins | Nikesh: well what's your alternative? :) | 20:21 |
| AlternativElite | hi all, is there a way restart tightvncserver with the command line? could find the command online | 20:22 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: Haha, yeah.. | 20:22 |
| NorrisBreeze | I understand what LAMP is. I am just trying to figure out why a version of LAMP is not available in Software Center. Is it because Software Center is so new? | 20:24 |
| AlternativElite | I need to restart the vncserver because I changed password and port, but don't want to reboot the computer | 20:24 |
| MrElendig | NorrisBreeze: lamp bundles are horrible | 20:25 |
| tsimonq2 | daftykins: How about NTFS? | 20:25 |
| MrElendig | NorrisBreeze: you should install and configure each bit on its own | 20:25 |
| MrElendig | NorrisBreeze: or better, not use php and mysql (and apache) | 20:25 |
| reveredge | hey | 20:26 |
| HexTq | NTFS no way | 20:26 |
| reveredge | I want to create desktop application in Ubuntu | 20:26 |
| Bashing-om | NorrisBreeze: Lamp is not a package, it is a meta thing of many packages . From which you 'may' choose what you want to install . | 20:26 |
| reveredge | preferably using C++ | 20:26 |
| daftykins | tsimonq2: only POSIX compatible file systems, so the EXTs only ideally. | 20:26 |
| reveredge | how shall I start | 20:26 |
| HexTq | get atom | 20:26 |
| MrElendig | reveredge: learn C first | 20:27 |
| MrElendig | then C++ | 20:27 |
| tsimonq2 | daftykins: So you are saying not ZFS or BTRFS? | 20:27 |
| MrElendig | then realise that there are better languages for the job out there and use one of those | 20:27 |
| daftykins | tsimonq2: look it up. you're wasting my time. | 20:27 |
| NorrisBreeze | Ok, thanks! So Software Center is for packages only, not "meta things" ? | 20:27 |
| MrElendig | NorrisBreeze: why do you want LAMP? | 20:28 |
| NorrisBreeze | for WordPress | 20:28 |
| MrElendig | reveredge: but if you *really* want to use C++, then read up on qt5 | 20:28 |
| MrElendig | NorrisBreeze: you shouldn't run wordpress | 20:28 |
| MrElendig | NorrisBreeze: 1. it is *really* hard to secure 2. you probably don't need a dynamic site anyway for your blog | 20:29 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: So I just used Boot-Repair again and found the option to get it to work! | 20:29 |
| Nikesh | Booted into GRUB, now into Ubuntu | 20:29 |
| NorrisBreeze | Sorry, for WordPress desktop development | 20:29 |
| MrElendig | even worse :/ | 20:29 |
| daftykins | Nikesh: so what was it? | 20:30 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: In 'Advanced options', 'GRUB Location' tab, check box 'Separate /boot/efi partion' and selected /dev/sda1 where I'd made a partition with /boot/efi mount point. In any case I can see that the link you gave me probably would have led to this without the need for Boot-Repair, so thanks for all your help | 20:33 |
| AurorasDream | how is ubuntu 16.04 ? | 20:35 |
| k1l_ | AurorasDream: since the naming of the ubuntu version is Year.Month, there is no 16.04 yet | 20:35 |
| jhutchins | eshant: If you end up writing a summary/list/comparison I'd like to see it. There was a system tray time tracker I used for a while and I have NO idea what it was called. | 20:35 |
| AurorasDream | 15.10 then | 20:36 |
| daftykins | AurorasDream: not out yet either | 20:37 |
| k1l_ | AurorasDream: you can load a 15.10 alpha iso and test it yourself. for support of the development branches we have #ubuntu+1 | 20:37 |
| daftykins | AurorasDream: notice how the names are year.month | 20:37 |
| AurorasDream | so 12.01 12.02 12.03 etc | 20:38 |
| AurorasDream | year 2012 month x | 20:38 |
| k1l_ | !releases | AurorasDream | 20:38 |
| ubottu | AurorasDream: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 9 months to 5 years. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases | 20:38 |
| daftykins | sure is. | 20:38 |
| AlternativElite | daftykins: we spoke yesterday and you were right, changing port and password of vncserver did the trick. no attacks from China anymore.;) | 20:41 |
| arooni-mobile | hey everyone. i'm trying to debug my wireless internet connection to the at&t router... it seems to keep dropping as evidenced by radiotray disconnecting a few times per hour. is there a way to monitor via the command line to see if i have a persistent connection? | 20:43 |
| daftykins | arooni-mobile: sure, with ping | 20:44 |
| HexTq | did you look at nload or iftop ? | 20:45 |
| daftykins | arooni-mobile: have one infinitely pinging your router and one infinitely pinging a public website e.g. google.com , then when it goes down you can see if both fail. | 20:45 |
| arooni-mobile | daftykins, how can i know what IP address to ping for my router? | 20:45 |
| daftykins | you don't know your router's IP? | 20:45 |
| daftykins | type "ip route" | 20:45 |
| daftykins | it'll say "default via <IP>" | 20:45 |
| daftykins | likely that's it, maybe 192.168.x.x | 20:45 |
| arooni-mobile | default via 192.168.1.254 dev wlan0 proto static | 20:46 |
| daftykins | yep that's the one. | 20:46 |
| bouhafs | hello, how to autologin in lubuntu? | 20:50 |
| bouhafs | I used users-admin but not let me do that | 20:51 |
| OerHeks | in 15.04 systemsettings > user accounts | 20:51 |
| bouhafs | with sudo it crash just a white windows | 20:51 |
| bouhafs | OerHeks, thank again i'm in 14.10 | 20:51 |
| OerHeks | uh,, why comandline? use the tool provided | 20:51 |
| OerHeks | ..14.10 ... isn that EOL? | 20:52 |
| bouhafs | EOL ? ended you means? | 20:52 |
| daftykins | OerHeks: sure is | 20:52 |
| daftykins | dead. as the dod | 20:52 |
| daftykins | dodo. | 20:52 |
| HexTq | thats a long time i read that dafty :D | 20:53 |
| OerHeks | bouhafs, you get no updates, right? | 20:53 |
| bouhafs | can i upgrade it and this will take many times? | 20:53 |
| bouhafs | yes | 20:53 |
| daftykins | HexTq: i like to crack out the classics for the special cases :> | 20:53 |
| HexTq | :D | 20:53 |
| bouhafs | so | 20:54 |
| HexTq | depends on your internet connections speed how long it takes mostly | 20:54 |
| OerHeks | + what is installed | 20:54 |
| bouhafs | my internet is very slow | 20:54 |
| OerHeks | upgrading is fun, cup of tea | 20:55 |
| daftykins | but backup first! :D | 20:55 |
| bouhafs | to download an iso that take 9 hours or more for less than 700M iso | 20:55 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: Bah, argle. On boot up it says 'Default boot device missing' -- It /does/ let me select the harddrive, but looks like I didn't quite get it. I'm giving your method a go now | 20:55 |
| daftykins | Nikesh: hmm i think you'd be better off with an expert to have a look | 20:56 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: I mean I can select the harddrive and boot into GRUB -> Ubuntu, but I don't want to have to do that every time | 20:56 |
| HexTq | Nikesh do you have one hdd? | 20:56 |
| Nikesh | HexTq: Yes | 20:56 |
| daftykins | select the HDD? you mean from the acer's boot menu? | 20:56 |
| Nikesh | HexTq: It gives two options - "Unknown HDD" and "Windows Boot loader" or something | 20:56 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: Yeah, BIOS Boot Menu | 20:57 |
| daftykins | yeah try changing your default inside the BIOS | 20:57 |
| bouhafs | with: sudo apt-get upgrade i see just 50M will be installed, is that correct? | 20:57 |
| daftykins | sounds like it's on the wrong device | 20:57 |
| HexTq | i dont followed your problem but with this selecting the hdd my first idea was you installed grub on a different hdd | 20:57 |
| daftykins | nah very special case, HexTq | 20:57 |
| Nikesh | daftykins: Not sure how to do that.. I moved the Windows loader to the bottom and the HDD to the top but it still asks | 20:57 |
| bouhafs | hello | 20:57 |
| spiritualgamer | Hello everyone | 20:57 |
| HexTq | upgrade only upgrades your current OS it does not upgrade to the next version | 20:57 |
| Pokinawa | spiritualgamer: Hola | 20:58 |
| daftykins | Nikesh: ok you need a boot expert to add an entry then perhaps. | 20:58 |
| Nikesh | Ah OK | 20:58 |
| spiritualgamer | Guayadeque won't play if I choose a new stream/file to play | 20:58 |
| bouhafs | so how to upgrade? | 20:58 |
| daftykins | !upgrade | 20:58 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 20:58 |
| spiritualgamer | actually, it only occurs after a stream | 20:59 |
| bouhafs | just sais the command man why i must read all the web site with my bad connexion | 20:59 |
| spiritualgamer | so if I stream something, I have to restart guayadeque in order to play or stream something else | 20:59 |
| daftykins | bouhafs: don't bring that attitude here. | 20:59 |
| bouhafs | i opened it i must wait for about 15 minutes or more for just reading one link | 21:00 |
| bouhafs | if it work | 21:00 |
| HexTq | is that a potato you use to connect to the internet? :) | 21:00 |
| bouhafs | yes | 21:01 |
| daftykins | if that were true we'll see you on 15.04 around about when *it* goes EOL too :) | 21:01 |
| HexTq | with 56k i did not wait so long for a website :D | 21:02 |
| wileee | bouhafs, If in your position I would download 14.04 the latest build, it has 5 years support and use it and upgrade/update when you can. | 21:02 |
| bouhafs | yes true, for that i'm here if any one have a simple solution | 21:02 |
| HexTq | i would suggest a clean install rather than a dist-upgrade | 21:02 |
| daftykins | dist-upgrade isn't even what's being done | 21:03 |
| HexTq | download iso-createusb-install | 21:03 |
| bouhafs | and now firefox just said no connexion what the helle | 21:03 |
| wileee | bouhafs, You would probably be best served by the longterm releases. | 21:03 |
| bouhafs | i downloaded some iso from internet when my neibord let me access to his modem in the past but now i have my own internet but not enought to do a hard things | 21:04 |
| HexTq | time to visit a coffehouse :D | 21:05 |
| bouhafs | HexTq, iso-create? | 21:05 |
| DJ | hey | 21:05 |
| HexTq | more like download iso -> createusb -> clean install :) | 21:05 |
| DJ | ;) | 21:06 |
| DJ | actually | 21:06 |
| bouhafs | but my internet is too slow to download | 21:06 |
| DJ | ubuntu is pretty usefull if u wanna create bootable usb disks ;D | 21:06 |
| DJ | just download the ISO | 21:06 |
| DJ | like | 21:06 |
| HexTq | thats why i suggested to visit a coffehouse they have usually free wifi | 21:06 |
| DJ | leave your pc running at night if you want :) | 21:06 |
| DJ | to download it | 21:06 |
| DJ | while you're sleeping | 21:06 |
| OerHeks | torrent resumes download if disconnected | 21:07 |
| wileee | bouhafs, This is support you have been given options. The problems you have on your end are your problems, you have to do what needs ti be done. | 21:07 |
| OerHeks | http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ | 21:07 |
| DJ | yeah | 21:07 |
| bouhafs | ok wileee i just asked if there are a solution | 21:07 |
| wileee | bouhafs, No magic here, you have been given the options available. | 21:08 |
| bouhafs | i just ask if possible to upgrade from 14.10 to 15.04 | 21:08 |
| HexTq | hey and what if im actually a wizard | 21:08 |
| bouhafs | have you a solution? | 21:08 |
| wileee | HexTq, Stop the chat. | 21:08 |
| DJ | bouhafs yes | 21:08 |
| DJ | i know there's a terminal command | 21:09 |
| DJ | that would let you | 21:09 |
| wileee | eol | bouhafs read the eol upgrade info. | 21:09 |
| bouhafs | please said it | 21:09 |
| DJ | wait i need to look it up | 21:09 |
| wileee | !eol | bouhafs read the eol upgrade info. | 21:09 |
| ubottu | bouhafs read the eol upgrade info.: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 21:09 |
| HexTq | i dont think upgrading from cli with a bad connection is an award winning idea | 21:09 |
| bouhafs | so you means it's not possible to upgrade from eol to lts? right? | 21:10 |
| DJ | my dad was running 10.04 LTS | 21:10 |
| daftykins | bouhafs: it is but you're going to have to read up on it, or follow the above advice. | 21:10 |
| DJ | i sucessfully upgraded his pc to 15.04 | 21:10 |
| daftykins | cool story, DJ | 21:10 |
| DJ | ok :D | 21:11 |
| bouhafs | now the page is loade and i read it, i see nothing about how to upgrade: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 21:11 |
| wileee | HexTq, This is not a drama class, stick ti actual help, on topic. | 21:11 |
| EriC^^ | bouhafs: check here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 21:11 |
| DJ | ok i found the command u want bouhafs | 21:12 |
| bouhafs | omg another link i will wait another 20 minutes | 21:12 |
| EriC^^ | bouhafs: you need to change archive.ubuntu.com to old-releases.ubuntu.com in your sources.list i think, and then run the do-release-upgrade command | 21:12 |
| bouhafs | please DJ said it | 21:12 |
| HexTq | well sorry i have some humour left for mankind and bothered you with it mate | 21:12 |
| DJ | yeah | 21:12 |
| DJ | eric already said it | 21:12 |
| bouhafs | cool thank's EriC^^ you are fast | 21:12 |
| DJ | do-release-upgrade | 21:12 |
| DJ | i was gonna say this | 21:12 |
| DJ | sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 21:13 |
| DJ | but that prob wont work | 21:13 |
| daftykins | bouhafs: you do understand that if you go to 15.04 you will be in this exact same situation in January? | 21:13 |
| bouhafs | thank you this is the real help | 21:13 |
| HexTq | dont do that on a connection where it takes a website 20m to load | 21:13 |
| DJ | yeah | 21:13 |
| daftykins | no it's handing you the answers when you refuse to read a link - that's not help | 21:13 |
| HexTq | dafty thats what people understand under help | 21:13 |
| EriC^^ | i gave him the link and a tiny overview of what's involved | 21:14 |
| daftykins | i think the main issue of ending up in this situation again come January is unwise to be overlooked | 21:14 |
| bouhafs | daftykins, i readed the link you puted and i found nothing just eol = blabla and lts = blabla | 21:14 |
| daftykins | but nevermind, you can't save them all. | 21:14 |
| DJ | eol is end of licence | 21:14 |
| daftykins | life. | 21:14 |
| teward | !eol | 21:14 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 21:14 |
| HexTq | i would not save them all even if i could | 21:14 |
| teward | DJ: End of Life (see the ubottu comment on EOL) | 21:15 |
| DJ | yeah | 21:15 |
| DJ | LTS is long term support | 21:15 |
| daftykins | bouhafs: there were two links on the response :) you missed one | 21:15 |
| DJ | 5 years instead of 9 months support | 21:15 |
| daftykins | DJ: please stop | 21:15 |
| DJ | stop what? | 21:15 |
| daftykins | we already have a channel bot | 21:15 |
| bouhafs | if the user need help and you said go to this link or other it is not help, he can do that from google, he need a real help and prefered fast one | 21:16 |
| HexTq | TIL about sudo !! :D | 21:16 |
| DJ | im not botting :/ | 21:16 |
| DJ | i dont have a bot running | 21:16 |
| DJ | at all | 21:16 |
| DJ | sorry if its seems like it | 21:16 |
| daftykins | DJ: nevermind you didn't understand. | 21:16 |
| DJ | ? | 21:16 |
| daftykins | bouhafs: you still don't understand that the release 15.04 if you upgrade to it, will only be usable for another 5 months | 21:16 |
| daftykins | then you will be here again :) | 21:17 |
| DJ | yeah ;D | 21:17 |
| DJ | i will upgrade to 15.10 wheneger it gets released | 21:17 |
| === hxm is now known as Guest46509 | ||
| bouhafs | omg just 5 mounth? | 21:17 |
| DJ | yeah | 21:17 |
| DJ | its annoying :/ | 21:17 |
| bouhafs | so why you said how to upgrade than? | 21:17 |
| daftykins | i think you'll find i actually never did. | 21:17 |
| daftykins | others were telling you to upgrade :) | 21:18 |
| daftykins | you were too busy complaining about my response to actually understand the bigger picture | 21:18 |
| daftykins | now, multiple people told you to switch to 14.04 | 21:18 |
| bouhafs | so what i can do in this case? | 21:18 |
| daftykins | so backup - download 14.04, clean install - and you'll be fine until 2019. | 21:18 |
| DJ | wait | 21:19 |
| DJ | is 15.04 EOL? | 21:19 |
| HexTq | actually you will be fine if you dont do anything at all | 21:19 |
| EriC^^ | DJ: no, it's supported for 9months | 21:19 |
| DJ | oh k | 21:19 |
| bouhafs | wait a second i will check if i have iso for 14.04 | 21:19 |
| DJ | hmm | 21:20 |
| DJ | 'failed to get repository information' | 21:20 |
| DJ | what do i do? | 21:20 |
| daftykins | HexTq: also wrong, EOL = insecure | 21:20 |
| DJ | yup | 21:20 |
| HexTq | thats true | 21:20 |
| DJ | thats why i upgraded my dads pc to 15.04 | 21:20 |
| kadiro | hello | 21:20 |
| DJ | coz he was running 10.04 | 21:20 |
| HexTq | but it was fine running 10.04 wasnt it | 21:20 |
| DJ | kadiro: hey | 21:20 |
| DJ | yeah it was | 21:21 |
| OneM_Industries | How would I find the speed of the various drives in my box? I am not sure, but I think one drive is 3Gb/s, and the other is 6Gb/s. | 21:21 |
| HexTq | its not like there is a countdown and then it nukes the os :) | 21:21 |
| DJ | yeah :D | 21:21 |
| DJ | but my dad needed 12 or later | 21:21 |
| daftykins | OneM_Industries: for what purpose? | 21:21 |
| DJ | so i upgraded to 15 | 21:21 |
| DJ | he needed it for a ID card reader | 21:21 |

| bouhafs | ok thank you daftykins | 21:24 |
| EriC^^ | bouhafs: kde is pretty heavy if it's an old pc | 21:24 |
| EriC^^ | how old are we talking? | 21:24 |
| DJ | ;/ | 21:24 |
| reisio | well, it depends on the graphics hardware, mostly | 21:24 |
| reisio | old with onboard only, you're going to hurt | 21:25 |

| DJ | if u need a lightweight ubuntu version | 21:26 |
| DJ | get xubuntu ;D | 21:26 |
| OneM_Industries | lubuntu works as well. | 21:26 |
| ira_ | or lubuntu | 21:26 |
| HexTq | or just install xfce and change the de | 21:26 |
| DJ | yep | 21:26 |
| daftykins | DJ: please cut the chat. | 21:26 |
| DJ | what? | 21:26 |
| daftykins | #ubuntu-offtopic for that. | 21:26 |
| bouhafs | if i install kubuntu and then try another DE like xfce or lxde it will be fine? | 21:26 |
| DJ | ok | 21:26 |
| HexTq | it will be fine yes, you dont need to install another system just the de | 21:27 |

| bouhafs | 12.04 is an lts right? | 21:27 |
| daftykins | Daphko: you're better off with #ubuntu-server i think | 21:27 |

| HexTq | ohboy | 21:28 |
| Jordan_U | bouhafs: I would still recommend installing 14.04 LTS over 12.04 LTS unless you have a very compelling reason to go with the former. | 21:29 |

| poppe | does anyone know how to get the latest kernel source? it should be a tar.gz? I found this page but I dont find the tar.gz https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/utopic/ppc64el/linux-source-3.16.0/3.16.0-44.59 | 21:30 |
| bouhafs | ok Jordan_U thank you i just wont to install it the time to download 14.04 with my bad and slow connexion i understand all yours sugession :) | 21:31 |
| daftykins | poppe: that's a utopic kernel though, better off moving to the vivid HWE if you're in 14.04 | 21:31 |
| kadiro | bouhafs: yes 14.04 is good and if you have an old pc try lxde i means lubuntu or xubuntu | 21:32 |
| bouhafs | ok thank you kadiro | 21:32 |
| bouhafs | see you later guys, thk's for your help | 21:33 |
| kadiro | you welcome bouhafs | 21:33 |
| bouhafs | :) | 21:33 |
| poppe | daftykins sorry I dont understand. I just need a stable kernel that I can recompile due to a hw bug. I would like a good one and I just installed so everything is new. do you have a link? | 21:34 |
| backbox | hi] | 21:34 |
| daftykins | poppe: which version did you install? | 21:34 |
| daftykins | !backbox | backbox | 21:34 |
| ubottu | backbox: Backbox Linux is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu and is thus not supported in #ubuntu. Please use #backbox on irc.autistici.org or https://forum.backbox.org/ for help with it. | 21:34 |
| ubuntu90 | with Windows but I want to put and ubuntu but not remove the Windows installation but shows me that the HDD is full and not divided | 21:34 |
| backbox | em using on mac | 21:35 |
| backbox | os x | 21:35 |
| backbox | em new | 21:35 |
| daftykins | backbox: and you're typing from backbox which isn't supported here :) | 21:35 |
| Jordan_U | poppe: You can use "apt-get source packagename" to get the source package for "packagename". This will get you something better than a tar.gz (though a tar.gz will be part of it) as it will build to a proper .deb file and will include all of the expected Ubuntu patches. | 21:36 |
| backbox | yup em using backbox,n kaali linux and backtrack | 21:36 |
| ubuntu90 | help me | 21:36 |
| poppe | daftykins:Ubuntu 14.04.3 | 21:36 |
| daftykins | poppe: so you should be on the 3.19 kernel | 21:37 |
| EriC^^ | ubuntu90: did you shrink the partition in windows? | 21:37 |
| backbox | hi | 21:37 |
| daftykins | backbox: yep so none of those can be spoken of in here, just so you know. | 21:38 |
| poppe | <Jordan_U> I use a book linxu kernel in a nutshell. it is old but i think it would be best to just follow the procedures there from a tarball | 21:38 |
| poppe | daftykins is there a way to get the source for that kernel? | 21:39 |
| poppe | I could not find it online... | 21:39 |
| daftykins | poppe: "uname -r" show your running kernel, "dpkg -l | grep linux-image" show the package names installed, "apt source <packagename>" will download the source according to results online | 21:40 |
| DJ | hey guys | 21:41 |
| daftykins | (don't use sudo on the last one, apparently.) | 21:41 |

| IamTrying | OK - great thanks tsimonq2 | 22:08 |
| tsimonq2 | IamTrying: The point is, in OS X, when something breaks, you can't easily fix it(without hours of research). With Linux, there are people here 24/7/365 to help you get it up and running again. So give Ubuntu a try again, and if a certain distro crashes for you, get it fixed. | 22:08 |

| Bashing-om | the_count: Sorry, I thouhgt that you knew . Teah pipe it ! ' dpkg -l xserver-xorg-input-synaptics | pastebinit ' If you have the "pastebinot" tool installed. | 22:19 |
| the_count | Bashing-om: Not follownig you, I have pastebinit installed, so like: ' dpkg -l xserver-xorg-input-synaptics | pastebinit | something_to_copy_to_clipboard_here ' | 22:22 |
| Bashing-om | the_count: So, not installed. Is there a possile conflict installed ? ' dpkg -l xorg-driver-synaptics | pastebinit ' . | 22:22 |
| Bashing-om | the_count: The result from pastebinit is a URL back to your terminal. | 22:22 |
| the_count | I know, is there any way to pass that to the clipboard after pastebinit handles it? | 22:23 |
| EriC^^ | the_count: | pastebinit | xclip | 22:23 |
| EriC^^ | maybe | 22:23 |
| the_count | Ok | 22:23 |
| EriC^^ | the_count: pastebinit | xsel , then shift+insert to paste | 22:24 |
| Bashing-om | the_count: EriC^^ :) .. or maybe redirect to a file and upload the file to pastebin . | 22:24 |
| EriC^^ | it'll send a newline though so as soon as you paste it'll enter | 22:24 |
| BlueProtoman | I'm trying to update my graphics drivers (on a laptop running Ubuntu 15.04, and two GPUs via Optimus) so I can use the new experimental build of Unity 3D, but whenever I try my graphics break. And I've been able to use Optimus before! http://askubuntu.com/q/666615/61195 Any thoughts? | 22:24 |
| EriC^^ | Bashing-om: he means the link itself how to put it in the clipboard | 22:25 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: Thanks, Hey I can get real dense sometimes ! | 22:25 |
| the_count | BEriC^^: What do you mean by shift+insert, what key does insert map to? | 22:26 |
| the_count | Bashing-om: | 22:26 |
| EriC^^ | shift+insert is like middle mouse button | 22:27 |
| the_count | EriC^^: I don't have a middle mouse button | 22:27 |
| HexTq | but you have a key named insert :) | 22:27 |
| EriC^^ | ok, so press shift+insert | 22:27 |
| EriC^^ | should be near home del etc. | 22:27 |
| the_count | EriC^^: My keyboard doesn't | 22:27 |

| the_count | EriC^^: WHat is the difference between xsel and xclip? | 22:30 |
| the_count | Bashing-om: Did you get that link? | 22:31 |
| Bashing-om | the_count: OK, now we try and install the driver: ' sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics ' . See what results . | 22:31 |
| EriC^^ | the_count: i think xclip sends to the other clipboard (the one where you press ctrl+c and ctrl+v to copy and paste) | 22:31 |
| EriC^^ | the_count: xsel is for the selection clipboard, if you highlight something and type xsel in a terminal it'll show up | 22:32 |

| Bashing-om | the_count: Show us ' sudo apt upgrade ' . ( just because I like 'apt' better ) . | 22:49 |
| the_count | Bashing-om: It did not return any errors, we can try again... I have been using apt to install packages since you told me about it. It is a bit cleaner I think... | 22:50 |

| ra122 | howdy there, have a quick question for you all | 23:41 |
| ra122 | more a linux or a debian question, rather than just ubuntu - is there any way to change what hostname is broadcasted, rather than the hostname that the local system knows? | 23:41 |
| ra122 | (e.g. same hostname in the console, etc.) - or would that cause networking problems? | 23:42 |
| Nikesh | Any ideas how to address 'Error code 0xc000025' (from Windows boot partition, looks like) after install Ubuntu in UEFI? | 23:42 |
| Jordan_U | ra122: Are you actually using Ubuntu? | 23:43 |
| Jordan_U | !bootinfo | Nikesh | 23:43 |
| ubottu | Nikesh: Boot info script is a useful script for diagnosing boot problems. Please run the script following the directions here: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ and then !pastebin the RESULTS.txt for us to use to help diagnose your problem. | 23:43 |
| ra122 | Jordan_U: debian-based distro. i'm aware that this channel is designated for ubuntu in particular, but i'd figure that the talent/commands might be the same | 23:43 |
| Bashing-om | the_count: Correct versions are fully installed. So this " Depends: libcheese-gtk23 (>= 3.4.0) but it is not going to be installed " presently does not make a lot of sense . | 23:43 |
| jeffreylevesque | i created an upstart script in `/etc/init/`. but, running as `sudo service thing start` yields unrecognized service. But, it i do `sudo initctl start thing` it works | 23:44 |
| jeffreylevesque | is there a difference? | 23:44 |
| Nikesh | Jordan_U: OK, will try | 23:44 |
| the_count | Bashing-om: I agree with you, so, is there some way to reset dpkg or something along those sorts? | 23:44 |
| the_count | I find this crazy, just using 2 terminals and unity with wifi, my battery has only went down 10% in the last 2 hours... | 23:46 |
| the_count | Bashing-om: Or, Check and reinstall everything? Another question, could autoremove hurt or cause the situation? | 23:47 |
| Bashing-om | the_count: Scratching my head as " info xorg-input-abi-20 trusty >> Package xorg-input-abi-20 does not exist in trusty ". | 23:48 |
| the_count | Bashing-om: WHat would happen if we removed it? Or would trusty not recognize that it is in here in the first place? | 23:49 |
| Bashing-om | the_count: In respect to "autoremove" generally a good thing, but in the case of a package inconsistency can cause issues . | 23:49 |
| the_count | Bashing-om: I have used it a couple times after removing applications. | 23:49 |
| Nikesh | Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12210664 | 23:51 |
| the_count | Bashing-om: So, have we tried this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/610505/broken-packages-error-while-trying-to-install-xserver-xorg-input-mtrack | 23:52 |
| Bashing-om | the_count: Not at all sure what is going on here as " apt-cache show xorg-input-abi-20 >> N: Can't select versions from package 'xorg-input-abi-20' as it is purely virtual - N: No packages found " | 23:53 |
| Jordan_U | Nikesh: Do you get the same error if you boot Windows directly from your boot firmmware menus, rather than through grub? | 23:53 |
| Nikesh | Jordan_U: Sorry, I'm not wanting dual boot so somehow that windows partition is a side effect | 23:53 |
| OerHeks | so, the last comment, " xorg-input-abi-20 is present in other packages xserver-xorg-core-udeb and xserver-xorg-core So try to install xserver-xorg-core manually," does not work? | 23:53 |
| the_count | Bashing-om: I don't know if this would even do anyhting, but: http://askubuntu.com/questions/607693/unmet-dependencies-for-synaptics-touchpad-driver | 23:54 |
| Nikesh | Jordan_U: I was following this --> http://www.jfwhome.com/2014/03/07/perfect-ubuntu-or-other-linux-on-the-asus-transformer-book-t100/ But I don't have that machine, I have an Acer Aspire ES1-111 laptop | 23:54 |
| Nikesh | Jordan_U: It says to try to preserve the EFI partition | 23:54 |
| Nikesh | Jordan_U: Because previously from the default install options when I would boot it would just say 'No bootable device' | 23:54 |
| Bashing-om | the_count: I think ' sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core ' is what got us where we are. Will not hurt to run it again and re-confirm . | 23:54 |
| Nikesh | Jordan_U: I am open to just doing Legacy mode, but my keyboard and mouse didn't work in that mode (in the installer) | 23:55 |
| the_count | Bashing-om: http://askubuntu.com/questions/607693/unmet-dependencies-for-synaptics-touchpad-driver | 23:56 |
| the_count | No, sorry Bashing-om | 23:56 |
| OerHeks | arvinchou_, check your connection pls | 23:57 |

| OerHeks | why is that? | 23:58 |
| the_count | OerHeks: What? Not shure what you mean. | 23:59 |
| Jordan_U | Nikesh: OK, so you're never getting to a grub menu. | 23:59 |
| Jordan_U | Nikesh: Please pastebin the output of "sudo efibootmgr". | 23:59 |
