[00:00] <OerHeks> the_count, the last paste, is that the output of "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core" ?

[00:04] <OerHeks> apb1963, no, the  only solution is chrome to see drm streams, like netflix.

[00:07] <Bashing-om> the_count: As we do not presently have "xserver-xorg-core' Can do no harm to see what results with ' sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-core ; sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core ' . See what the package manager tells us .
[00:08] <Wader8> hello
[00:08] <darkfader> hmm... I might change that one fe to ee... xxxx:1:f8de:caff:fefe:babe
[00:09] <Wader8> I'm primarly windows 7 user and I will get a 2TB Western Digital Green drive for backup-archive and was wondering about using ZFS to improve data integrity, this HDD will be mostly disconnected and stored and the scrub function is perfect for occasional refresh/recheck
[00:09] <the_count> Bashing-om: It gives us the same errors as before
[00:10] <Wader8> I started reading OpenZFS sites but I don't know whether I need to install Ubuntu first or has to be preloaded and some newer Ubuntus seem to not install some peresquite by default ?
[00:10] <kadiro> hello, a torrent for lubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-i386.iso is ver very slow, can any one check it please?
[00:11] <Bashing-om> the_count: Humm .. stuck at the virtual ' xorg-input-abi-20 ' ??
[00:11] <btsierra> What is there to check?  It's a torrent.
[00:12] <kadiro> there are 27 pairs but the speed is very slow between 1k to 26 k of max
[00:13] <btsierra> Okay?  That's nothing anyone here can do anything about.
[00:13] <SubCool> channel for offtopic
[00:14] <Anastasius> Oh, not that hellhole.
[00:14] <OerHeks> the_count, i think you need to insall both opackages, xorg-input-abi-20 virtual package provided by xserver-xorg-core, xserver-xorg-core-udeb
[00:15] <the_count> How would I go about doing that?
[00:15] <somsip> !ot | SubCool
[00:15] <kadiro> btsierra: if you can just trying it to see if the problem is from me or from ubuntu web site
[00:15] <OerHeks> sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core xserver-xorg-core-udeb
[00:16] <btsierra> It's a torrent.  The peers are other people.  If they're not seeding fast, there's nothing to be done for it.
[00:16] <Bashing-om> the_count: My last was a question. and what results from ' sudo apt-get install --reinstall unity-control-center ' ?
[00:16] <kadiro> ok thank you

[00:19] <orangerobot> hi. i would like to disable a service (mysql) from starting on boot but I do not want to uninstall it. I want to be able to start it using /etc/init.d/mysql start when I need it only. Is this possible on ubuntu (14.04)?
[00:20] <oeuvre> USA #1
[00:21] <Bashing-om> the_count: Well ! The package manager did not holler .. what now is the status ' dpkg -l xserver-xorg-core ' ?

[00:24] <the_count> OerHerks: It said the latter could not be located

[00:27] <kadiro> yes orangerobot i'm sure i enabled my lirc with it
[00:27] <Bashing-om> the_count: OerHeks A true condition " Package xserver-xorg-core-udeb does not exist in trusty " . Back to the drawing board .
[00:28] <kadiro> try to install it orangerobot
[00:28] <OerHeks> the_count, Bashing-om So xserver-xorg-core itself is now not installed?
[00:28] <the_count> Bashing-om: Would using aptitude make any remote difference, or not?
[00:28] <the_count> Bashing-om: Just what I read
[00:29] <kadiro> fedora is like redhat? true?
[00:29] <orangerobot> kadiro: I'd rathe rnot install anything new... I looked up "update-rc.d remove". Are they equivalent?
[00:30] <kadiro> never use it i can't said any thing about update-rc
[00:31] <Bashing-om> OerHeks: Yeah, xserver-xorg-core is NOT installed, and will not install die to that depencency on "Depends: xorg-input-abi-20 " . Where xorg-input-abi-20 is a virtual package .
[00:32] <the_count> What is a virtual package
[00:32] <the_count> coreos install apache
[00:32] <ProfessorKaos64> I think usually a "dummy" package that points to a newer one, available so users doing "apt-get install THIS" don't loose it
[00:32] <ProfessorKaos64> a pointer
[00:33] <the_count> Sorry about that
[00:34] <Bashing-om> the_count: A virtual package is - not real - it contains directives to install other packages, it contains no packages it's self . In and of it's self it has no meaning .
[00:34] <kadiro> orangerobot: the exact command is: sudo update-rc.d -f NAME_OF_SERVICE remove

[00:39] <c_app> Nikesh: in my bios I had to enable uefi boot then restart and go back into bios and there is an option to boot from uefi fat file system
[00:39] <Shai-Tan> Where does ubuntu do 'startx'?
[00:40] <Nikesh> c_app: I see.. I didn't come across anything like that in my BIOS, only UEFI enable/disable
[00:40] <c_app> My problems was with booting from a USB but I would assume it would be the same for the hdd
[00:41] <kadiro> Shai-Tan: I don't think so, there are gdm lightdm ..etc depending on the DE
[00:41] <c_app> Nikesh: the are no new options when you restart to boot from uefi

[00:49] <An_23> hola alguien quiere hablar
[00:49] <Bashing-om> the_count: Back. Take a look at http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/xorg-input-abi-20 . That indicates to me that we should remove xserver-xorg-core, and try and RE-install it .
[00:50] <An_23> HOLA
[00:50] <the_count> Ok
[00:50] <kadiro> !es | An_23
[00:51] <the_count> lol
[00:51] <MrJones> ok so apparently the alternate installer is going to be faded out
[00:51] <the_count> Bashing-om: How should we go about doing that?
[00:51] <MrJones> but the regular one still doesn't detect existing luks partitions or existing lvms correctly... what is the rationale behind that?
[00:52] <the_count> Bashing-om: I can't take a look very easily at that link...
[00:54] <tsimonq2> Does Lubuntu really not show up in the http://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/intellectual-property-policy
[00:55] <Bashing-om> the_count: No biggy . Stoll researching and I find confirmation "xserver-xorg-core 2:1.15.1-0ubuntu2 >> Provides:xorg-input-abi-20 "
[00:55] <Bashing-om> still*
[00:56] <the_count> Ok
[00:57] <Bashing-om> the_count: Let;s try this ' sudo apt-get purge server-xorg-core ; sudo apt-get install server-xorg-core ' . See what happens !
[00:59] <MrJones> ok so does the graphical installer supposedly detect luks?
[00:59] <MrJones> because for me it doesn't, type is just nothing (no value/empty field)
[01:00] <the_count> Says server-xorg-core is unable to be located still
[01:00] <Tyreal> could someone help me with a skype install please?
[01:00] <Pokinawa> whats wrong?
[01:01] <Tyreal> i have skype installed on lubuntu and its not opening
[01:01] <Tyreal> is there a command i need to run in xterminal
[01:01] <Pokinawa> you can type "skype" in terminal
[01:01] <kadiro> type skype in terminal
[01:01] <Pokinawa> that would launch it or at least throw errors to show what's wrong
[01:01] <MrJones> how do I create an usb image from the lubuntu alternate installer image on windows? the recommended Universal USB Installer seems to expect a desktop image and doesn't take it
[01:01] <Tyreal> skype: error while loading shared libraries: libQtDBus.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[01:02] <Pokinawa> you are missing qt libs
[01:02] <MrJones> or alternatively, is there somehow a way to enable proper luks detection in the graphical installer's partitioning part
[01:02] <kadiro> MrJones: are you trying unetboutin?
[01:02] <Pokinawa> check google for what package to install
[01:02] <MrJones> kadiro: no, because the web is plastered with warnings not to use it.
[01:02] <Pokinawa> and then sudo apt-get install <whatever>
[01:02] <MrJones> should I?
[01:03] <kadiro> MrJones: try with multi boot rmpusb
[01:03] <Tyreal> i went straight to skype website to download and install
[01:03] <kadiro> MrJones: www.rmprepusb.com/
[01:04] <Pokinawa> are you on 64-bit?
[01:04] <kadiro> you don't need to extract an iso just to put it to mainmenu folder under _iso folder
[01:04] <Bashing-om> the_count: Typo ! Go ahead and run ' sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-core ; sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core ' . Lets see what happens .
[01:05] <Pokinawa> Tyreal: try sudo apt-get install libqt4-x11-32bit libsigc++2-32bit libpng12-0-32bit if on 64-bit

[01:06] <the_count> Bashing-om: I did, sorry, I forgot to include your name, but is said:
[01:06] <MrJones> unless I downloaded the wrong thing
[01:06] <the_count> Bashing-om: Says server-xorg-core is unable to be located still
[01:06] <MrJones> which wouldn't surprise me given how chaotic the website is..
[01:06] <kadiro> MrJones: no it's not i use it my self and it fine
[01:08] <MrJones> kadiro: it asks me for the FILE START BYTE position..
[01:09] <Bashing-om> the_count: In the purge ? or in the re-install attempt ? As on my system " dpkg -l xserver-xorg-core >> ii  xserver-xorg-c 2:1.15.1-0ub amd64 " That package is installable .

[01:09] <the_count> Oh, I missed your typo message
[01:09] <kadiro> ok, try another if you don't trust it
[01:09] <the_count> Bashing-om
[01:10] <MrJones> I'm sure this makes sense to someone who has an idea of how the image is built
[01:10] <MrJones> but I don't
[01:10] <kadiro> try this one: http://www.linuxliveusb.com/
[01:10] <Bashing-om> the_count: K.
[01:10] <the_count> Bashing-om: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12211136/
[01:11] <the_count> and Bashing-om:
[01:11] <MrJones> kadiro: is that one known to work with the alternate installer?
[01:11] <the_count> Bashing-om: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12211141/
[01:12] <kadiro> yes MrJones is a good one for any linux distro
[01:12] <MrJones> kadiro: it explicitely warns me that the image is an unsupported variant
[01:12] <kadiro> I used it before unetbootin and rmpusb
[01:12] <kadiro> MrJones: so your windows have a virus
[01:13] <the_count> Bashing-om: it also said on the second one the same error we have been seeing for a long time now.
[01:13] <MrJones> kadiro: do you even read what I write?
[01:13] <MrJones> "oh omg it doesn't work it must be a virus"
[01:13] <MrJones> I'm using the lubuntu alternate variant, that's hardly the regular image... not that surprising it doesn't recognize it
[01:13] <MrJones> also often those usb things only work with a couple of distros
[01:13] <MrJones> and sometimes only with some variants of the images
[01:14] <kadiro> i suggess to you 3 ones ( tested from me ) i can't help more
[01:14] <MrJones> I assumed I'm not the only one on windows trying to use the alternate installer, so I guess there must be some regular simple choice that works
[01:14] <kadiro> yes sure
[01:15] <Bashing-om> the_count: OK; one has to wonder what is holding "libcheese-gtk23 and libcheese7 " at such a low version requirement. Let's blow them away and see what we can do . ' sudo apt-get purge libcheese-gtk23 ; sudo apt-get install libcheese-gtk23 ' .
[01:15] <kadiro> MrJones: take a look here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows ( not tested from me )
[01:17] <MrJones> kadiro: yup, and as I initially said, that tool doesn't accept the alternate images.
[01:17] <MrJones> you simply can't pick them in the file chooser, it filters for the desktop ones
[01:17] <kadiro> this is odd
[01:17] <kadiro> the alternative image is an iso?
[01:18] <ablegreen> My "time and date settings" dialog looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/QBP6L77.png I would like to know how Ubuntu automatically gets my location. What package is it using?
[01:18] <MrJones> kadiro: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/14.04/release/ see "Alternate install image"
[01:19] <kadiro> ah an iso then
[01:19] <the_count> Bashing-om: We should have tried that long ago
[01:20] <the_count> Bashing-om: It worked, and now I am doing your previous instruction.
[01:20] <kadiro> normally it will install it on usb by those application i suggess to you
[01:20] <Bashing-om> the_count: That result is good ? then do the same for libcheese7 .
[01:24] <c_app> I'm having trouble installing 15.04
[01:24] <kadiro> MrJones: why not just test unetbootin and choose localy where your iso located?
[01:24] <the_count> Bashing-om: I need to go, I'll see you later, and all three competed succesfully, so I'll be back to fix the rest if needed.
[01:25] <Bashing-om> the_count: K; the end result is to install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics !
[01:26] <the_count> Bashing-om: Ok

[01:34] <AwlsomeAlex> Would Customized Ubuntu Distributions be discussed here?
[01:34] <ROPA> Is there any practical reason why a new flexible usb keyboard wouldn't work in ubuntu? It is being recognized as a USB keyboard by the system.

[01:35] <Nikesh> kadiro: OK. I killed it and started it again, but nothing visually comes up on the screen

[01:36] <Nikesh> AwlsomeAlex: How?
[01:36] <AwlsomeAlex> Search it, it's real easy
[01:36] <Nikesh> kadiro: In the 'Network' app I click the 'ON' switch for VPN and it never logs in, just still says 'not connected' any my IP doesn't change
[01:36] <Nikesh> OK
[01:37] <kadiro> try restarting network and/or your modem
[01:37] <AwlsomeAlex> No, the network service
[01:37] <AwlsomeAlex> On your pc
[01:38] <AwlsomeAlex> Can anyone help me?
[01:38] <kadiro> about what AwlsomeAlex
[01:39] <AwlsomeAlex> I'm trying to turn my customized system into an bootable installer for my friend, so I don't use ubuntu minimal, and Remastersys and UCK are outdated.
[01:39] <AwlsomeAlex> It's 15.04 if that helps
[01:39] <kadiro> No Idea sorry I never heard about that
[01:40] <AwlsomeAlex> Oh. I cant find any solutions.
[01:40] <Nikesh> kadiro: Ah, maybe it is my moden
[01:40] <Nikesh> modem
[01:40] <kadiro> may be yes
[01:40] <AwlsomeAlex> No. You're modem has nothing to do with VPN.
[01:40] <kadiro> I had a same problem yesterday
[01:41] <AwlsomeAlex> It's something with the ports
[01:41] <kadiro> firewall?
[01:41] <AwlsomeAlex> If any hardware was the problem, it would be the router. Software could be firewall. Kadiro
[01:41] <AdamRoberts> is chu here?
[01:41] <kadiro> ok thank you
[01:41] <AwlsomeAlex> Anyone else could help me? I'm trying to turn my customized system into an bootable installer for my friend, so I don't use ubuntu minimal, and Remastersys and UCK are outdated.
[01:41] <AdamRoberts> how can i find out the name of this song?
[01:42] <AndroidHacker> is there a way to set a devices mount point without using fstab to automount it.. for example, every time i plug in flash drive x, its mount point is set to /media/user/flashdrive_x
[01:42] <AndroidHacker> ?
[01:42] <AdamRoberts> http://kike.co.uk
[01:42] <AdamRoberts> the file name is jew.mp3 but that's not a valid song
[01:42] <AwlsomeAlex> Wtf
[01:42] <kadiro> O_o
[01:43] <AwlsomeAlex> Anyone? Help me?
[01:43] <AndroidHacker> why was he banned?
[01:43] <kadiro> he talk about something out of the rules
[01:44] <AndroidHacker> he was banned for talking offtopic? seriously
[01:44] <Jordan_U> AndroidHacker: Racial slur. If you (or anyone else) would like to discuss this more, please join #ubuntu-ops.
[01:44] <Nikesh> AndroidHacker: Looks like he was trolling
[01:44] <AndroidHacker> ok just wondering
[01:44] <AwlsomeAlex> Jordan, can u help me?
[01:45] <AndroidHacker> anyway, does anyone know if thats possible what i said above? ^^
[01:45] <AwlsomeAlex> What?
[01:45] <AwlsomeAlex> Anyone?
[01:46] <kadiro> no idea AndroidHacker , especially without fstab
[01:46] <AndroidHacker> well im assuming if its in fstab, it will try to mount it automatically on boot?
[01:46] <AwlsomeAlex> @AndroidHacker, do u know anything about Customized Distribution Drone`
[01:46] <AwlsomeAlex> Not drone
[01:46] <kadiro> yes AndroidHacker
[01:47] <AwlsomeAlex> Do u?
[01:47] <AndroidHacker> AwlsomeAlex, never heard of it
[01:47] <AwlsomeAlex> No! I'm so stuck!
[01:47] <kadiro> AwlsomeAlex: you doing it or you find how to customize the distro?
[01:48] <AwlsomeAlex> I'm doing it off of Ubuntu Minimal
[01:48] <AwlsomeAlex> It's kinda like the abandoned Fluxbuntu
[01:48] <kadiro> and it can't boot?
[01:48] <MrJones> hi
[01:48] <AwlsomeAlex> No, I can't make a iso off of the system
[01:48] <MrJones> how can I make an alternate installer usb bootable thing on windows
[01:48] <kadiro> oh ok
[01:48] <MrJones> which lets me enter expert mode
[01:48] <AwlsomeAlex> Do not use expert mode MrJones
[01:49] <AwlsomeAlex> Unless you're an expert
[01:49] <MrJones> how can I make an alternate installer usb bootable thing on windows which lets me enter expert mode?
[01:49] <AwlsomeAlex> Get Rufus and the alternative installer, and boom.
[01:50] <kadiro> dangerous?
[01:50] <MrJones> rufus will retain the boot menu?
[01:50] <AwlsomeAlex> No
[01:50] <MrJones> because the standard recommendation doesn't, therefore boots the alternate without expert mode :/
[01:50] <AwlsomeAlex> Rufus will make the usb bootable
[01:50] <MrJones> "Universal USB Installer" is the standard recommendation for windows
[01:50] <AwlsomeAlex> MrJones do u know anything about Customized Ubuntu Distributions
[01:50] <MrJones> and if I use that with the lubuntu alternate 14.04 disk, I get a menu which doesn't include a choice for expert mode
[01:50] <kadiro> AwlsomeAlex: i suggess to him unetbootin but he sais it does not detect it
[01:51] <AwlsomeAlex> MrJones Don't use 14.04, sorry that's broken, use 15.04
[01:51] <MrJones> no I didn't try unetbootin yet because the wiki warns that it doesn't work with anything debian-based
[01:51] <MrJones> I tried the "Universal USB Installer"
[01:51] <Jordan_U> MrJones: I'm not even certain that Ubuntu alternate / server images properly support booting from USB, as surprising as that sounds. They might, but there are many indications, including the many varied work arounds for problems with using the installer via USB rather than DVD here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/593002/fail-to-install-ubuntu-server-14-04-64bit-lts-from-usb-drive that suggest it just isn't supported.
[01:51] <AndroidHacker> unetbootin works fine
[01:51] <AndroidHacker> on buntu
[01:51] <MrJones> Jordan_U: ok so how can I install with an existing luks partition and reuse it?
[01:51] <kadiro> AwlsomeAlex: 14.04 is lts not 15.04
[01:51] <MrJones> because the graphical installer can't do it.
[01:51] <AwlsomeAlex> Kadiro MrJones The Alternative for 14.04 doesn't support Expert Mode for some strange reasom, you're doing nothing wrong, use 15.04 or 14.10
[01:52] <MrJones> the expert mode installer can
[01:52] <MrJones> oh interesting
[01:52] <AwlsomeAlex> Like Expert mode is physically written out of the code. MrJones
[01:52] <MrJones> ok at least that explains why it's not available :)
[01:52] <MrJones> btw any plans to make the graphical installer less awful?
[01:52] <kadiro> thank you AwlsomeAlex you learned me a lot
[01:53] <AwlsomeAlex> Nope. :-) MrJones and you're welcome kadiro
[01:53] <MrJones> it's really lacking behind anaconda and yast, especially with lvm and luks support
[01:53] <kadiro> :)
[01:53] <AwlsomeAlex> Ikr.
[01:53] <MrJones> the expert mode does it of course, but it's always butt ugly and a pain to use
[01:53] <AwlsomeAlex> Ik. They should make a Graphical Expert Mode.
[01:54] <AwlsomeAlex> Make it easier. XD
[01:54] <MrJones> or just a graphical mode that's not shit. can you believe this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1462632
[01:54] <AwlsomeAlex> Wow
[01:54] <MrJones> in the release version
[01:54] <AwlsomeAlex> They screwed up
[01:54] <AwlsomeAlex> XD
[01:54] <kadiro> lol
[01:55] <AwlsomeAlex> So anyone on know anything about turning a system into a iso to be installed on a different pc?
[01:57] <AwlsomeAlex> (AwlsomeAlex) So anyone on know anything about turning a system into a iso to be installed on a different pc?
[01:57] <AwlsomeAlex> (Sorry if u see it as spam, really confused)
[01:57] <kadiro> AwlsomeAlex: have you looked here ( seem to be a similar problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/409607/how-to-create-a-customized-ubuntu-server-iso
[01:59] <AwlsomeAlex> Ooooo kadiro If that works in all of Ubuntu and is still supported, that could work!
[01:59] <AwlsomeAlex> Nice find.
[01:59] <kadiro> ^^
[02:01] <AwlsomeAlex> I mean, I hope it works! But this is server. That's a possibility for failure too. But thanks.
[02:01] <beckbeck> greetings all.... anyone using 15.10 yet?
[02:02] <kadiro> I hop this will work for you AwlsomeAlex
[02:02] <AwlsomeAlex> Thanks. I'm using 15.10 beta 1! Beckbeck
[02:03] <beckbeck> AwlsomeAlex:  what setup?
[02:03] <xangua> !15.10 | beckbeck
[02:03] <AwlsomeAlex> Toshiba Satellite
[02:05] <AwlsomeAlex> Ok, just a general question, what Ubuntu version did yall start with?
[02:05] <AwlsomeAlex> I'm 4.10! Buggy as heck but super cool.
[02:06] <beckbeck> I came in on Kubuntu 8.04 AwlsomeAlex
[02:06] <apogue> Y'all know the feature where you have multiple windows open and you click the launcher icon, and it tiles the windows? Does that work on 15.04? For me the window manager bugs out.
[02:06] <alexbucuresti> how learn commands terminal?

[02:07] <Mirodroid> reading the man pages
[02:07] <AwlsomeAlex> Sorry.
[02:08] <Mirodroid> there are a few books that are useful and are good regardless of the distro
[02:08] <Mirodroid> ie the books are mainly distro agnostic
[02:09] <MrJones> does the 14.04 network installer do expert mode maybe?
[02:10] <MrJones> since 15.10 is still unreleased I'm not sure it's a good idea to use it
[02:11] <CAPITANOOO>  installing  ubuntu  from usb    get this error  probe failed

[02:29] <aditya> hi
[02:30] <MikeRL> I am no security expert, but in noob terms, does anyone know how AppArmor compares overall compared to say, SELinux on recent Android versions? Is it well-implemented by default?
[02:31] <CAPITANOOO> Bashing-om: probabili its facking acer aspire desktop problem
[02:31] <Bashing-om> CAPITANOOO: OK. 14.04 and the md5sum is correct . next is a graphics driver that prevents booting. that is often addressed by the boot parameter "nomodeset" and once installed, install the recomended graphics driver .
[02:31] <Bashing-om> CAPITANOOO: Acer with UEFI ?
[02:32] <CAPITANOOO> i dont knw
[02:33] <CAPITANOOO> but i try nomodeset
[02:34] <AwlsomeAlex> So anyone on know anything about turning a system into a iso to be installed on a different pc?
[02:34] <Bashing-om> CAPITANOOO: If and I do say IF this is an Acer laptop with UEFI firmware, there are issues with vendor lockin . Several hoops exist one must jump through to boot anything but Windows .
[02:37] <MikeRL> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/Specifications/ApplicationConfinement
[02:38] <MikeRL> Hmm. It appears I may have been right when I speculated that more can be done. I guess having a mobile version of Ubuntu with a ton of random apps floating around in a Store could warrant security improvements.
[02:40] <MikeRL> I wonder if some of the security improvements will make there way to the desktop in time.
[02:40] <Bashing-om> CAPITANOOO: See: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2292242&highlight=acer for some insight .
[02:40] <CAPITANOOO> Bashing-om: its acer aspire desktop
[02:41] <OerHeks> MikeRL, you just said "I am no security expert" and now you talk improvements?
[02:42] <MikeRL> Well, I'm just speculating.
[02:42] <MikeRL> I wonder if anyone here is more knowledgeable to see if my assumption has any ground to it.
[02:42] <Bashing-om> CAPITANOOO: Then the above does not apply . If 'nomodeset' does not work to get to the desk top, I am out of ideas .
[02:42] <CAPITANOOO> maybe i can solve using cd
[02:43] <CAPITANOOO> or dvd
[02:43] <CAPITANOOO> its last chance
[02:43] <Bashing-om> CAPITANOOO: Maybe, I have better luck with DVD - ( ubuntu no longer fits on a CD ).
[02:44] <CAPITANOOO> Bashing-om: tnks
[02:47] <Bashing-om> CAPITANOOO: Not much help yet. but we keep trying . :)
[02:47] <MikeRL> And I was essentially quoting the Wiki with what I was expanding on with security.
[02:47] <CAPITANOOO> i know
[02:48] <MikeRL> I didn't just know this. I was reading this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/Specifications/ApplicationConfinement
[02:49] <MikeRL> Oh and this one https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AppArmor
[02:49] <CAPITANOOO> Bashing-om i never had problem before to installing  ubuntu  on everithing
[02:50] <CAPITANOOO> very boring that
[02:50] <Nikesh> Just having Firefox open with a blank tab I see 30-50% usage on all four cores of my CPU and at times it takes even 3-4 seconds just for a text box to begin accepting input. Any ideas why it's so horrible performance?
[02:50] <Nikesh> CAPITANOOO: I just installed to Acer Aspire laptop. What's your issue?
[02:51] <CAPITANOOO> probe failend and still on dot screen
[02:51] <CAPITANOOO> and after still on dot screen
[02:51] <MikeRL> That sounds odd to say the least. I have a slow POS desktop with a dual core processor that was also used in netbooks, and Firefox is usable.
[02:51] <CAPITANOOO> Nikesh: but its  acer aspire desktop
[02:52] <Nikesh> MikeRL: Right, I agree. On my older laptop with the same version of FF and Ubuntu it works faster than on my new one
[02:52] <Nikesh> MikeRL: So it seems likely something to do with drivers..
[02:52] <Nikesh> Maybe?
[02:52] <MikeRL> Sometimes, I wait a release to use Ubuntu on my new machines. You could always try the daily ISO of the next release.
[02:53] <Nikesh> You mean better to use a newer release on a newer machine?
[02:53] <MikeRL> I had odd stuff happen when I installed Ubuntu on a brand new computer. Usually the bugs went away after another release.
[02:53] <MikeRL> Likely. But no promises. An unstable release can have other issues.
[02:53] <Nikesh> Yeah :/
[02:54] <CAPITANOOO> Nikesh: i get probe failed end after  i get The screen with the dots  looping
[02:54] <Nikesh> CAPITANOOO: Ah OK
[02:54] <Nikesh> CAPITANOOO: The only thing I can recommend, that drove me mad, is to install in Legacy BIOS mode instead of UEFI
[02:54] <Nikesh> If you don't need Windows
[02:55] <Nikesh> MikeRL: Maybe graphics drivers?
[02:55] <MikeRL> Could be. Google is your friend.
[02:56] <CAPITANOOO> Nikesh: i will try
[02:56] <CAPITANOOO> thks
[02:56] <MikeRL> Anyone here know if AppArmor is going to be expanded on as Ubuntu Touch matures? It would kind of make sense for security improvements to migrate back to the main desktop release.
[02:56] <MikeRL> In part, anyhow.
[03:01] <MikeRL> Well, maybe I can help someone else a bit until my question gets an answer. I'm just another user, but maybe I can give some advice.
[03:02] <MikeRL> Try Googling your computer model, space, then Ubuntu and version number. You may find an answer that way. Like "Acer Aspire AX1430-UD30P flickering pointer ubuntu 14.04"
[03:03] <MikeRL> I Googled something like that (without quotes) and found a blog that told me to edit some Xorg file that stores monitor config, and my display has no more issues.
[03:04] <MikeRL> Or Google the component, like the graphics card or the graphics card family and Ubuntu version.

[04:08] <keithtoo> Hey folks. Question on dual booting. Is it possible to put an already loaded Ubuntu HD in a box with a windows HD?
[04:10] <strayPuppy> keithtoo: i think as long as the buntu boots first
[04:10] <strayPuppy> so the grub boot loader will handle it
[04:11] <strayPuppy> *buntu drive
[04:11] <xpose> eaeee
[04:13] <Rave1> keithtoo,   just select the drive you wish to boot in bios
[04:15] <liuxg> I have tried to  sudo apt-get install network-manager-vpnc, but the VPN does not show in the network manager when adding a VPN. what could be the cause for it?
[04:15] <keithtoo> Yep - I know how to dual boot. What I have is a computer I'm going to decommission which runs straight Ubuntu. I want to move the 2 TB to the new box which only has Windows on it now. Can I do that without reinstalling ubuntu?
[04:16] <cfhowlett> keithtoo, why not just reinstall and properly configure ubuntu in its new home?
[04:17] <keithtoo> well - apart from having to reload (again!) all the accumulated apps and possibly losing some data... I could do that. Just wondered if it could be done another way
[04:18] <keithtoo> I understand the question though... :)
[04:19] <liuxg> I have done all of the installation for vpn, now I am trying to connect shadowsocks vpn. I have installed network-manager-pptp network-manager-vpnc, and  network-manager-openvpn
[04:19] <cfhowlett> keithtoo, if this was a transfer only of data, I'd say go for it.  otherwise you're hoping that the new configurations are close enough to the previous one that you can boot.  and if not, you're left with ... trying to reconfigure in the new environment.  saner to just reinstall IMHO
[04:20] <liuxg> I cannot see the "VPN" section in the network manager. what could be the problem for it?
[04:21] <keithtoo> cfhowlett, thanks - I thought as much and have the install disk ready to go.
[04:21] <cfhowlett> keithtoo, happy2help!
[04:22] <keithtoo> It dawned on me that the old drives have the grub loader already on them... ah well, hope I was smart when I loaded it this last time.
[04:22] <keithtoo> Much appreciated.

[04:43] <atralheaven_> can I make a backup of my ubuntu by copying EVERYTHING from root directory? will this work?
[04:43] <Faks> yes, there is actually a software that does that
[04:44]  * javanoob ** SysInfo ** Client: HexChat 2.10.2 (x64) ** OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro ** CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2520M CPU @ 2.50GHz (2.00 GHz) ** RAM: 6023 MB Total (3494 MB Free) ** VGA: Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 ** Uptime: 3.40 Hours **
[04:44] <Faks> its called "TimeShift"
[04:45] <atralheaven_> after using that backup, my system will be exactly like it is right now?
[04:45] <Faks> yes
[04:45] <atralheaven_> thats great
[04:45] <Faks> it doesnt backup your home directory, but I guess there is probably an option for that
[04:45] <atralheaven_> I thought everything is file, so that should work!
[04:51] <DoYouKnow> I've had some issues with gimp 2.6 crashing on large images in ubuntu 12.04, is there anything I can do to fix that?
[04:51] <cfhowlett> DoYouKnow, perhaps upgrade to 14.04??
[04:52] <DoYouKnow> by large I mean png ~1.2GB
[04:52] <ribbit> quit()
[04:52] <ribbit> #quit
[04:52] <cfhowlett> DoYouKnow, also: do you get an exit error message from gimp?
[04:52] <cfhowlett> ribbit, precede the command with /                /quit
[04:53] <DoYouKnow> I've just had general issues. we'll see if this brightnes/contrast change works

[05:06] <Kalimero_> lol
[05:06] <DoYouKnow> is there a better way to view a large image in linux than the gimp?
[05:06] <DoYouKnow> it seems pretty inefficient
[05:06] <cfhowlett> DoYouKnow, without more info than you seem willing to share --- no
[05:07] <DoYouKnow> it's a large image
[05:07] <cfhowlett> !details | DoYouKnow
[05:07] <somsip> !info gpicview | DoYouKnow (is very small)
[05:07] <DoYouKnow> what more info do you want?
[05:08] <DoYouKnow> I want to be able to pan and inspect it
[05:08] <cfhowlett> DoYouKnow, 1.  why you no upgrade to 14.04?  2.  why you no upgrade gimp?  3. how much ram?  4. what does open gimp from terminal > open large image > gimp crash > error message say
[05:09] <DoYouKnow> I haven't upgraded to 14.04 since dell hasn't released a dvd with my drivers yet
[05:09] <DoYouKnow> I haven't upgraded gimp for the same reason
[05:10] <DoYouKnow> 6gb ram
[05:11] <Kalimero_> DoYouKnow: My dell was delivered with 12.04 as well but i immediately to 14.04 and it runs like a charm
[05:11] <DoYouKnow> 12.04 -> 13.04 -> 14.04?
[05:11] <DoYouKnow> you have to upgrade in sequence right?
[05:11] <cfhowlett> DoYouKnow, suggestion: download 14.04.3, boot USB and TEST. 12.04 > 14.04     as both are LTS
[05:11] <Gentoo12> I have a volume that I would like to NOT be mounted by just anyone
[05:12] <cfhowlett> DoYouKnow, wait
[05:12] <Kalimero_> DoYouKnow: no i just format the original one and installed 14.04
[05:12] <DoYouKnow> 14.04 doesn't include my wifi firmware
[05:12] <cfhowlett> DoYouKnow, before all that do this:   lsb_release -a | nc termbin.com 9999            and paste the url here.
[05:12] <lotuspsychje> DoYouKnow: wich wifi card chipset please?
[05:13] <cfhowlett> DoYouKnow, this is a dell? probably broadcom chipset.  easily configured with the install .iso
[05:13] <DoYouKnow> 0b:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4321 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 03)
[05:13] <cfhowlett> and there's a good chance 14.04 iso will boot the wifi
[05:13] <DoYouKnow> I don't have a wired link
[05:13] <DoYouKnow> 14.04 doesn't work with my wifi
[05:14] <cfhowlett> DoYouKnow, you're not hearing me:  it's DOES work if you configure it.
[05:14] <Gentoo12> thing is, with ubuntu, all they have to do is click on the thing and it mounts.  all the files are there for the whole world to see and I'm trying to run ubuntu as my main OS
[05:14] <DoYouKnow> configure it?
[05:14] <cfhowlett> 90 seconds in a terminal, no reboot required
[05:14] <DoYouKnow> I have no network access besides wifi
[05:14] <cfhowlett> !broadcom
[05:14] <cfhowlett> use the <no internet access> option
[05:14] <DoYouKnow> I cannot access the internet through wired
[05:15] <Kalimero_> how do i readout which network controller i am using_
[05:15] <Kalimero_> ?
[05:15] <cfhowlett> you - do - not -need - the - internet - to - do - this
[05:15] <lotuspsychje> Kalimero_: sudo lshw -C network
[05:16] <lotuspsychje> DoYouKnow: grab the firmware and download it to an usb, for next time you install
[05:17] <Kalimero_> ok i am using Intel Wireless 7260
[05:18] <cfhowlett> DoYouKnow, this is what I've used.  works every time on my dell 1545 and other models.  YOUR chipset is specifically supported.  you need an ubuntu .iso for the files.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#STA_-_No_Internet_access
[05:18] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: +1
[05:19] <Kalimero_> does anyone know how to hide a statussymbol on the i3status bar?
[05:19] <lotuspsychje> Kalimero_: did you try the large #i3 channel?
[05:20] <cfhowlett> lotuspsychje, fun times = head to a quiet corner of the Apple store, insert ubuntu USB, fire up a MacBook, configure the broadcom wifi and ... leave the store
[05:20] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: lol
[05:21] <Kalimero_> lotuspsychje: no i dont i didnt know there is one (there is an irc channel for everything, isn't it? pretty new to irc)
[05:21] <DoYouKnow> thanks, cfhowlett
[05:21] <lotuspsychje> Kalimero_: well not for everything, but their are many communities
[05:21] <lotuspsychje> !alis | Kalimero_ you can use this also
[05:22] <cfhowlett> DoYouKnow, happy2help.  if you need more, join me via pm. this is doable.  consider upgrading.
[05:23] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: do you know if there's a reason that devs dont added broadcom driver to default iso yet?
[05:23] <cfhowlett> lotuspsychje, legal stuff.  broadcom is proprietary.
[05:23] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: ah right
[05:23] <lotuspsychje> tnx
[05:25] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: maybe they could add to ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[05:25] <cfhowlett> lotuspsychje, possibly.  seems to be a low priority.
[05:25] <lotuspsychje> lemme suggest that in devel :p
[05:34] <bhagwan> gm om
[05:35] <lotuspsychje> bhagwan: welcome, wat can we do for you?
[05:37] <bhagwan> what i do for that

[05:38] <lotuspsychje> !warez | eduardo_
[05:39] <bhagwan> what i doing for install whatsapp on backbox linux
[05:39] <cfhowlett> bhagwan,   backbox linux is not ubuntu.  ONLY ubuntu is supported here.  sorry
[05:39] <cfhowlett> !backbox
[05:40] <whologin> whats up party ppl ??
[05:40] <bhagwan> any option .....
[05:40] <whologin> do i have to watch my lang here?
[05:40] <cfhowlett> !backbox > bhagwan
[05:40] <cfhowlett> whologin, yes.
[05:40] <whologin> k
[05:40] <bhagwan> ok thanks
[05:41] <whologin> anyone know why its such a *&%$#@ to install ubuntu on an efi laptop? I have read all the support and still have no progress.
[05:42] <whologin> the uefi community site has a boot-fix tool that does not work
[05:42] <whologin> after I instal I cannot reboot into ubuntu
[05:42] <whologin> just live or windows
[05:43] <whologin> when i install stand alone , live is my only option
[05:43] <whologin> so I guess my question is, is this the end of linux on laptops if uefi is here to stay?
[05:44] <cfhowlett> whologin, uefi is not going away.
[05:45] <whologin> right, so what does that mean for adoption of the OS for complete newbs who want open source ??
[05:45] <whologin> like me
[05:45] <thetrav> so I have /dev/sdb and I want to create a new partition on it without any user input beyond the initial command
[05:45] <cfhowlett> whologin, that question is better addressed in ubuntu-offtopic.  this is the support channel
[05:45] <royalaxe> what the hells uefi?
[05:46] <thetrav> from what I can tell of the man page, fdisk works through a menu?
[05:46] <cfhowlett> !uefi | royalaxe and please watch the language
[05:46] <royalaxe> woh
[05:46] <cfhowlett> thetrav, fdisk is command line
[05:46] <whologin> id love it if you could assist me in completing my install
[05:46] <PanV> Hello, how can I mount a Live USB to my PC with ubuntu? I need to install something
[05:47] <PanV> is it mnt /dev/sda1?
[05:47] <cfhowlett> whologin, details of your hardware
[05:47] <PanV> ?
[05:48] <whologin> asus x205ta
[05:48] <Allegiant> If I have Mint running on VBox and I have to close it... does it save what Ive done? (installing browsers and other progs)
[05:48] <PanV> I will just google it..
[05:48] <PanV> bye
[05:48] <whologin> do you need more detailed specs?
[05:48] <cfhowlett> Allegiant, it can.  save the machine.
[05:48] <Allegiant> Thank you
[05:51] <marjory> .
[05:54] <thetrav> http://superuser.com/questions/332252/creating-and-formating-a-partition-using-a-bash-script <- seems to indicate that fdisk reads from stdin
[05:54] <thetrav> so effectively I'm using the menu... I can't do what I want via params
[06:01] <whologin> ty for taking the time cfhowlett
[06:01] <cfhowlett> whologin, happy2help!  best of luck.
[06:13] <Ethoscience> Hi
[06:14] <Gentoo12> testing
[06:14] <Gentoo12> aha
[06:14] <Gentoo12> so ages ago I asked about having a disk in my system be hidden, or unmountable, or something to that effect.
[06:14] <Ethoscience> does fsck erases data from my external hdd?
[06:14] <Ethoscience> or just repair it
[06:15] <somsip> !fsck
[06:15] <Gentoo12> I had to step away, so I didn't see if I got an answer or not.
[06:15] <Ethoscience> Thanks you somsip
[06:15] <Gentoo12> just seeing if someone knows off the top of thier head as I'm having some trouble figuring it out.
[06:19] <dw1> my monitor stopped turning off after screen blanking and locking. weird. :[
[06:19] <somsip> Gentoo12: hidden to whom, visible under what circumstances?
[06:24] <dw1> oh i set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power active to false
[06:24] <dw1> wups
[06:24]  * dw1 praises .bash_history
[06:26] <Gentoo12> somesip hidden to general users of the machine.  My whole life in on that drive, and I'd rather not have to unhook the thing to leave my machine in the livingroom
[06:27] <somsip> Gentoo12: hidden like 'cant ls and cant read'? Just make it chown -R gentool2:gentool2 (or whatever your username is)
[06:28] <Ethoscience> Is there a way to change the file system from raw/other to ntfs from ubuntu?
[06:29] <dw1> System Tools -> Preferences -> Disks
[06:29] <Ethoscience> fsck seems that work only with ext2,3,4
[06:29] <somsip> Ethoscience: ISTR conversions to/from NTFS do not play nicely. I think you have to move data off, convert, then move data back on
[06:30] <Ethoscience> I have 700Gb of data :S
[06:30] <somsip> Ethoscience: the amount of your data makes no difference to how it works
[06:30] <cfhowlett> Ethoscience, how is all that data backed up??
[06:30] <dw1> it's the lesser used apocalyptic end time configuration
[06:31] <dw1> i would never back up that much :p
[06:31] <baja> i am getting message not enough disk space
[06:31] <dw1> actually drives are big now nm
[06:31] <somsip> baja: when doing what?
[06:31] <Ethoscience> I executed mke2fs on my external HDD instead of my USB
[06:31] <Ethoscience> so I canceled it to not lose data
[06:31] <baja> trying to update
[06:31] <Ethoscience> but I corrupted the file system
[06:32] <somsip> !paste | baja (paste the actual output)
[06:32] <dw1> baja: whyyikes
[06:32] <dw1> yikes Ethoscience
[06:32] <Ethoscience> :S
[06:32] <dw1> testdisk is a good recovery tool
[06:32] <dw1> but i guess it wont get filenames? :p
[06:32] <lotuspsychje> !info testdisk
[06:33] <Ethoscience> I think I'm going to do it from w7
[06:33] <Ethoscience> or with hiren's boot or something
[06:33] <baja> somsip: software updater that is telling me it needs free space to update
[06:33] <Ethoscience> thanks guys
[06:33] <baja> somsip: it needs 126M free on disk
[06:34] <somsip> baja: sudo apt-get clean can free up some space, but paste a df -h so we can see what's going on
[06:34] <dw1> Ethoscience: MS has some advice about it
[06:34] <cfhowlett> baja, open a terminal: sudo apt-get autoremove
[06:35] <dw1> Ethoscience: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Advanced_NTFS_Boot_and_MFT_Repair
[06:35] <Ethoscience> dw1 what do you mean with MS?
[06:35] <dw1> but that loks better
[06:35] <dw1> microsoft
[06:35] <Ethoscience> oh okay
[06:35] <Ethoscience> let me check it, it seems interesting
[06:36] <dw1> seems a backup may be at the end of the drive. woohoo
[06:36] <baja> here is the pastebin link: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12212454/
[06:38] <somsip> baja: paste the error message from the update too. Though /boot is not very big, it should have enough space for a normal update. Or are you trying to install something?
[06:38] <baja> no im not

[06:40] <baja> whats that somsip?
[06:40] <baja> github?
[06:41] <somsip> baja: it tells you how to fix the problem. And I'm out now as I'm finding helping you to be too annoying.
[06:41] <baja> ok
[06:41] <Norbin> I bought a new rig which consists of an I5 skylake CPU, Asus Z170 mobo, and a radeon 390 GPU.
[06:41] <baja> thanks
[06:41] <Norbin> Had some issues which by now are sorted, although I am left with the audio problem still, sound card is not being recognized.
[06:41] <Norbin> Running Ubuntu 15.04 with the fglrx amd proprietary drivers.

[06:53] <ali_> guys
[06:53] <ali_> how can i exit an infinite loop in c++
[06:53] <cfhowlett> ali_, ask the c++ channel, this is ubuntu support
[06:53] <somsip> ali_: this is ubuntu support channel. Ask in #c++ or somewhere similar
[06:53] <baizon> ali_: wrong channel to aask

[06:59] <Mrokii> Hello. I have installed KDE 5.4 on Ubuntu 15.04, but it doesn't work properly. Reaction to clicking the upper bar (with all the virtual screens and such) takes several seconds. And when I click on the upper left icon (the "k"), only an "empty" window opens (meaning: only a window-border is shown, with no content. Instead the desktop-background and any app opened in that area is shwon within the window-frame).
[06:59] <Mrokii> Does anybody know what could cause this?
[07:01] <PanV> Hello!
[07:01] <Norbin> I have similiar problem Mrokii , kinda - see how windows appear for me http://i.imgur.com/rXGM84Y.png
[07:01] <Norbin> u see how messed up the window's background is?
[07:02] <Norbin> it happens on every window i open via "settings" :{
[07:02] <Norbin> no idea why
[07:03] <Mrokii> It looks weird, but not quite the same as for me. I can't even open the settings on KDE (I assume there should be some kind of menu available when klicking on the K-symbol).
[07:04] <PanV> Hello.. I need to mount a Live USB to my PC. Could I get some help?
[07:05] <PanV> What is the command?

[07:05] <pierre__> bonjour a touttes
[07:07] <pierre__> bonjour a tous et touttes
[07:07] <PanV> Norbin, sorry for bothering you, but I never understand those tutorials :/
[07:08] <PanV> Wait, I just need to get xorg with a live usb, could I get assistance?
[07:08] <ali_> guys
[07:08] <PanV> Hello?
[07:08] <ali_> a question
[07:09] <ali_> why cant i shut down my system with command line
[07:09] <somsip> ali_: what command are you using?
[07:09] <Norbin> what does it say when you run shutdown?
[07:09] <chatterb8> would anyone like to join a channel with no rules?
[07:09] <whologin> when setting up lubuntu on a vbox, if i have an atom based quad core should i select 4 processors in the setup?
[07:09] <Mrokii> Norbin: Besides, I only have these problems with KDE. On Unitiy, everything works.
[07:10] <Norbin> whologin: you can but it's not a must - you can go with just one
[07:10] <chatterb8> there's free speech and we can discuss anything you'd like
[07:10] <somsip> !ot | chatterb8 (no adverts here thanks)
[07:10] <PanV> Can anybody explain me how to install stuff on my Ubuntu drive with a LiveUSB?
[07:11] <chatterb8> i'm not advertising because i'm not making a profit from here
[07:11] <somsip> chatterb8: enough. You can tell by the response whether people are interested.
[07:12] <ali_> i just type: sudo shutdown now
[07:13] <ali_> sth like shutting down happens
[07:13] <rsv> how can i change the desktop screen of ubuntu to look like http://forums-cdn.appleinsider.com/a/ae/700x1000px-LL-ae008a87_ub11_04.jpeg
[07:13] <ali_> and my keyboard backlight remains on
[07:13] <rsv> i want the icons to be at the bottom of the screen,
[07:13] <ali_> i use asus n56jn laptop
[07:14] <somsip> ali_: sudo shutdown -h now, or just sudo halt. http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000606.htm
[07:14] <chatterb8> the best laptop for ubuntu is one that has driver fan support or else ubuntu will obliterate your computer
[07:15] <ali_> tnx
[07:15] <rsv_> how can i get the icons at the bottom of the screen
[07:15] <somsip> rsv_: you mean, a dock?
[07:15] <Mrokii> rsv: Cairo-Dock can do something like that.
[07:16] <cfhowlett> chatterb8, false.  installing fan support is a trivial task
[07:16] <Norbin> he's a troll don't pay attention to him ^_^
[07:16] <chatterb8> no
[07:16] <rsv_> i dont know whats a dock - is it something like http://forums-cdn.appleinsider.com/a/ae/900x900px-LL-ae008a87_ub11_04.jpeg
[07:16] <somsip> cfhowlett: WHS ^^^
[07:16] <chatterb8> i downloaded fan drivers and my computer was still running like a toaster
[07:17] <cfhowlett> somsip Norbin got it, added to /ignore
[07:17] <somsip> rsv_: yeah - cairo dock, or plank is a current favorite I think
[07:17] <chatterb8> i'm not a troll
[07:17] <rsv_> when i install it - it will take care of the icons right?
[07:17] <Mrokii> rsv_: Cairo-dock and others do exactly what you want. It emulates the Mac-dock (the bar at the bottom you posted screenshots of).
[07:18] <somsip> rsv_: read up a bit http://is.gd/5DAdun http://is.gd/kn1STO
[07:18] <rsv_> somsip: thanks, i use lubuntu by the way
[07:19] <PanV> Guys..
[07:19] <rsv_> somsip: it should not matter right lubuntu or just ubuntu
[07:19] <somsip> rsv_: I last used cairo-dock before unity so not sure. I think it should be fine
[07:20] <PanV> I am still waitinf..
[07:20] <cfhowlett> !patience | PanV
[07:20] <Ben64> PanV: you've been told many times here how this channel works
[07:21] <PanV> I lost my patience though
[07:21] <cfhowlett> PanV, learn to manage yourself.

[08:01] <Om> hi
[08:02] <EriC^^> hi
[08:04] <Om> hi sai
[08:07] <bhagwan> hi
[08:07] <pragomer1> hi. is it possible to run a program, e.g. gthumb, using a different gtk-theme than the rest of the system? e.g. to choose the used theme via parameter? or config-file?
[08:07] <Norbin> anyone using psensors ? i am trying to get it to read my radeon gpu temps... using the fglrx drivers
[08:08] <bazhang> pragomer1, some are skinnable like that, some not so easily
[08:08] <Om> bhagwan come a tab
[08:08] <bazhang> audacious is an example of an easily skinnable one pragomer1
[08:08] <cfhowlett> pragomer1, interesting problem.  sounds do able, but I think the saner option is to install a skin as bazhang suggests
[08:09] <bazhang> !info psensors
[08:09] <pragomer1> e.g. gimp is skinnable of course... the question was because I wanted gthumb to look different.. do you think it is possible?
[08:09] <cfhowlett> ?  asked and answered
[08:09] <cfhowlett> perhaps ask gthumb directly?
[08:10] <bazhang> pragomer1, is gthumb skinnable gets several hits on a search engine
[08:12] <pragomer1> bazhang: ok... hm.. how to skin it??
[08:12] <bazhang> pragomer1, did you not even read any of those links at all?
[08:12] <cfhowlett> nah, he's not reading anythiung
[08:12] <bazhang> pragomer1, is this debian?
[08:12] <pragomer1> what links?? sorry
[08:13] <pragomer1> No I am using ubuntu
[08:13] <ObrienDave> much easier to ask than read ;p
[08:13] <bazhang> pragomer1, 'is gthumb skinnable'  <------ those links
[08:14] <ObrienDave> but that would involve using google ;P
[08:14] <bazhang> !bing
[08:14] <bazhang> ruhroh
[08:14] <cfhowlett> ObrienDave, or lmgtfy
[08:14] <ObrienDave> we can't go there LOL
[08:14] <cfhowlett> :)
[08:15] <pragomer1> the gnome default dark theme is called adwaita-dark, right?
[08:15] <bazhang> pragomer1, gtk3?
[08:15] <ObrienDave> not sure, sounds right
[08:19] <Bray90820> When I opened the software I got this error message
[08:19] <Bray90820> http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=n5irxXVS
[08:20] <pragomer1> ok.. sorry.. but I did not yet find out how to change the theme especially for gthumb !?!?

[08:31] <hateball> That's not true with systemd, at least I never got it working....

[09:05] <houndtoun> ntaxid: online maybe
[09:06] <houndtoun> ntaxid: open in browser then print to pdf
[09:06] <Bray90820> What number would drwxr-xr-x be
[09:06] <ntaxid> houndtoun: Ok, I will try that. Thanks. It is quite a large file anyway.
[09:07] <ntaxid> houndtoun: It just downloads the file? Maybe I am doing it wrong?
[09:08] <zzarr> hello!
[09:09] <houndtoun> ntaxid: find firefox add-on for chm. Then Firefox add-on to print or save to pdf
[09:10] <ntaxid> houndtoun: Ok, thanks. I will try that also. I just knew that the browsers could do it. thanks]
[09:11] <zzarr> I have asked in the #udev channel, but not gotten any answer, do anyone know how I can make a /dev path with the help of a device ID? (I have the bus ID as well if needed)
[09:12] <guite> hi, is there anyone using duplicity here ? I wonder if increasing the volsize may decrease the final size of the entire backup

[10:07] <ubuntu-studio> hi guys i have accidentally deleted my kernel. I have tried booting live cd which i am on write now and following instructions from ubuntu help website but its not working.
[10:08] <Ben64> ubuntu-studio: don't delete your kernel, boot an older one from grub
[10:08] <cfhowlett> ubuntu-studio, back up your data.  reinstall.  do not format your /home
[10:08] <ubuntu-studio> Ben64: i think i deleted all kernels
[10:08]  * cfhowlett wonders if it's possible to delete the currently booted kernel
[10:08] <Ben64> it is
[10:09]  * cfhowlett shudders
[10:09] <Ben64> can delete i think any file in linux, and while its in use, the inode stays active
[10:09] <ubuntu-studio> im logged in using live cd at the moment
[10:10] <cfhowlett> Ben64, and no "Hey are you SURE?" message?
[10:10] <cfhowlett> ubuntu-studio, no need to repeat
[10:10] <Ben64> well you have to use sudo to do it, so its kind of your own fault
[10:10] <ubuntu-studio> ok
[10:10] <cfhowlett> Ben64, "with great power ..." indeed
[10:10] <Ben64> don't run things you don't know what they will do, be careful with grub, etc
[10:11] <dtraveler> I use bind9 for DNS by the way.
[10:12] <mcphail> ubuntu-studio: what command did you use do delete your kernel?
[10:15] <ubuntu-studio> mcphail: i was trying to free space for ubuntu updates. the /boot had no enough space. I used this site https://gist.github.com
[10:15] <mcphail> ubuntu-studio: that does not answer my question
[10:17] <ubu_dib> good evening people
[10:18] <ubu_dib> can someone help me regarding restoring backups?
[10:18] <cfhowlett> !ask | ubu_dib
[10:18] <ubu_dib> sorry it's been a while since i've been on irc...  !ask is a command?
[10:19] <mcphail> cfhowlett: the bot has been crippled, for some reason. Some factoids have been deleted
[10:19] <cfhowlett> ubu_dib, it's an irc trigger but seems to be sleeping.  don't ask permission, ask your question.  give details
[10:19] <Ben64> its supposed to pop up this message... "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."
[10:20] <ubu_dib> thanks cfhowlett and Ben64  - i'm trying to restore a backup file but the default backup won't read my backup files, is there a way to restore manually?
[10:21] <ubu_dib> I just get a "no backups to restore" when the directory clearly has the required files.
[10:21] <Ben64> what type of backup file, how did you make it, what isn't opening it
[10:22] <ubu_dib> they're gpg, using the default ubuntu backup system.
[10:22] <ubu_dib> i have sigtar.gpg, manifest.gpg, and diftar.gpg made on the same day.
[10:23] <ubu_dib> they're made from daily backups made automatically
[10:25] <Ben64> go to the help page for the backup program, it has a lot of good info
[10:27] <HexTq> hi
[10:30] <ubu_dib> hrm ty ben64
[10:32] <ubu_dib> firefox crashed after update and I lost all my tabs in one window.  Backup won't work for some reason either.  frustrating :S
[10:38] <ubu_dib> Ben64, are you terribly familiar with deja-dup?  I'm trying out some terminal commands as listed on the website and getting errors: "Command line error: Expected 2 args, got 5"
[10:44] <Amoz> zzarr, are you trying to create a driver for a specific device?
[10:46] <zzarr> Amoz, no, I'm trying to connect to it as if it were a serial port
[10:51] <Amoz> zzarr, shouldn't the device driver expose/create the stuff in /dev ?
[10:53] <poppe> Hi all. Is there man pages for the different gui programs on the desktop? If yes how do I know what the gui program is called?
[10:53] <zzarr> Amoz, yes, there's a device (/dev/hidraw5)
[10:54] <ubu_dib> can you describe the gui program's function?
[10:55] <zzarr> I've understood the problem, I need a driver for a cy3240-i2c-usb chip
[10:55] <poppe> ubu_dib: I actually want to set the terminal to be able to scroll back further. but I wonder in general since it would be nice to be able to look for information myself. :)
[10:57] <EriC^^> poppe: which distro are you using?
[10:57] <EriC^^> i mean unity xubuntu etc ?
[10:57] <andrea__> xubuntu
[10:57] <ubu_dib> well for the terminal issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1904796
[10:57] <k1l_> poppe: the terminal is gnome-terminal if use ubuntu
[10:58] <andrea__> ok
[10:58] <chrisss123456> hiya! anyone know why if I sort images in a folder by, say, date created, image viewer still displays them in the same order?
[10:59] <poppe> k1l_:ok thank you. but is there a way to see the actual name of a program that has a gui?
[10:59] <sortanoob> Hi. I'm having constant plymouthd crashes on a dozen identical 14.04 laptops. It forces hard reboots between a half dozen and a dozen times a day each. It appears to be something similar to launchpad bug #1223714. Does anyone know anything about this? A workaround maybe that doesn't involve complete rollback-reinstalls of 12.04?
[11:00] <poppe> EriC^^: ubuntu
[11:00] <Amoz> chrisss123456, probably because the viewer maintains its own list by name or something
[11:00] <EriC^^> poppe: right click > profiles > preferences
[11:00] <chrisss123456> Amoz: yea, thats probably true. is there a way to change that?
[11:01] <EriC^^> poppe: then scrolling > unlimited
[11:01] <EriC^^> poppe: you can make your own profile and have it start the terminal using it
[11:01] <k1l_> poppe: click in the menu, then the last tab: help, then the point: info or about
[11:01] <Amoz> chrisss123456, what viewer?
[11:01] <chrisss123456> the system default: Image Viewer
[11:02] <inerkick> Hi. Anyone who got whatsapp on ubuntu
[11:02] <zoli___> hi. if i play MIDI music in Totem, i cannot seek in the song. The buttons are greyed out. Why is that? and how could i still seek in it??
[11:02] <inerkick> I don't have a smartphone , but would like to install whatsapp. Kindly help with any link, since I see, it requires QR code to be scanned
[11:03] <EriC^^> poppe: in the global menu then edit > profiles
[11:03] <k1l_> inerkick: iirc a smartphone is mandatory.
[11:04] <poppe> EriC^^: thank you. I would very much have a profile. :)
[11:04] <inerkick> iirc?
[11:04] <chrisss123456> inerkick: "if i recall correctly"
[11:04] <k1l_> inerkick: if i recall correctly
[11:04] <inerkick> ok
[11:04] <inerkick> so without smartphone we can't use Whatsapp,
[11:05] <auronandace> inerkick: that is correct
[11:05] <k1l_> inerkick: the webservice of whatsapp is just a additional service to the smartphone account.
[11:05] <poppe> k1l_ EriC^^ : ok I will check it out. thank you !!! I have to go now but see you later :)
[11:05] <slaffe> Hi guys. What is the right FTP command to download multiple files ignoring the endings of the files? I got tons of Backup files with different endings, due to date changes. How can I download them all throguth ftp?
[11:05] <slaffe> get Backup.server* does not work
[11:05] <Amoz> chrisss123456, not that I'm aware of, tell me if you find a solution. I remember I've been annoyed by that as well.
[11:05] <inerkick> that's so bad. Anyway thanks for info . I thought it's like Telegram app which even got destop version which doesn't require scanning or anything of that sort
[11:05] <chrisss123456> Amoz: ah, no worries. will do!
[11:06] <Amoz> slaffe, I think that is very much dependent on the client
[11:06] <slaffe> Amoz standard ubuntu ftp client
[11:06] <Amoz> slaffe, the ftp command?
[11:06] <slaffe> ya
[11:06] <zoli___> hi. if i play MIDI music in Totem, i cannot seek in the song. The buttons are greyed out. Why is that? and how could i still seek in it??
[11:06] <sortanoob> inerkick: I haven't tried it, but you might be able to run android in a virtual machine and run whatsapp in the virtual machine. You likely would still have problems since the virtual machine will have problems scanning a qr code with its nonexistent camera...
[11:06] <slaffe> It seems I need to specify the entire filename and not just Backup*
[11:07] <Amoz> slaffe, that probably is the case
[11:07] <slaffe> blah
[11:07] <slaffe> need another client then
[11:07] <Amoz> slaffe, the star is just a feature for bash shell
[11:07] <slaffe> so I thought
[11:07] <slaffe> what is your tip to download all them files then?
[11:08] <inerkick> yeah, i thought so too sortanoob . But seams, now useless to try so many things to get whatsapp working
[11:08] <Amoz> slaffe, check the manpages, it looks like you can enable "glob" and use mget
[11:08] <poppe> I have a older computer with 2g of ram which distro of ubuntu is best do you think (just opinions). :)
[11:09] <Amoz> poppe, depends on the usecase, but 2G is not that bad imo.
[11:10] <slaffe> Alright, thanks Amoz.
[11:10] <slaffe> I'll dig into the manpages.
[11:10] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[11:11] <zoli___> hi. if i play MIDI music in Totem, i cannot seek in the song. The buttons are greyed out. Why is that? and how could i still seek in it??
[11:11] <sortanoob> Trying again for ideas: I'm having constant plymouthd crashes on a dozen identical 14.04 laptops. It forces hard reboots between a half dozen and a dozen times a day each. It appears to be something similar to launchpad bug #927636. Does anyone know anything about this? A workaround maybe that doesn't involve complete rollback-reinstalls of 12.04? Is it possible to disable plymouth until it's actually fixed?
[11:12] <poppe> Amoz: as desktop. surfing watching movies a little programming. some 3d stuff (visual bodies if it exists for linux)
[11:13] <sliddis> i need an rdp client for ubuntu that can copy paste from a windows server 2012 connection
[11:13] <Amoz> poppe, best way is to try it imo. If unity/gnomeshell is quick enough in your opinion that might work for you, otherwise you can try xubuntu if you want a more lightweight environment
[11:14] <poppe> Amoz: ok thanks a lot :)
[11:14] <poppe> i will try.
[11:15] <poppe> Amoz: if I run live environment from usb is the load proportional to the load installed?
[11:15] <poppe> I mean between the environments.
[11:16] <slaffe> Amoz solved. first axecute glob, then prompt and then you can run mget Backup.* /destination/dir
[11:16] <slaffe> Thumbs up.
[11:17] <Amoz> poppe, i could be hard to simulate it because of the slow media. It really depends on what you do I'd say. I would just try xfce first if you're worried about performance or prioritize "quickness" :)
[11:18] <Amoz> slaffe, I learnt something new today as well ;)
[11:18] <Amoz> slaffe, although I prefer to use something better than FTP ...
[11:19] <poppe> Amoz ok good then I will try it. can I still ask questions here if I have xubuntu?
[11:19] <Amoz> poppe, I don't know what the official rules are unfortunately.
[11:20] <poppe> Amoz ok. you have a great channel here :)
[11:22] <k1l_> poppe: a usb live system is much slower. usb timings are very slow
[11:25] <poppe> k1l_: mmm. yes I know. but if you try both on a usb you perhaps would feel some of the difference? or both would be bogged down too much?
[11:25] <k1l_> on both the bottleneck is the usb flash  not the enviroment
[11:26] <Amoz> poppe, it's hard to know what exactly is due to slow media and what is due to "slow render/graphics/code"
[11:26] <k1l_> poppe: if you bother about performance on a slow and /or older system try Lubuntu
[11:26] <slaffe> Amoz itäs in a local network :)
[11:26] <slaffe> it's*
[11:27] <Amoz> slaffe, if both are *nix I'd prefer rsync/scp etc anyway
[11:27] <poppe> k1l_ Amoz ok. thanks a lot both of you !!! great channel btw :)
[11:29] <slaffe> Amoz ok, never used that. I'm fairly new to linux :)
[11:30] <Amoz> slaffe, look it up, definitely worth learning. Much "easier" to use I'd say. You can autocomplete paths from your local shell etc.
[11:31] <slaffe> I sure will. I'll get right to it.
[11:34] <ubuntu-studio> hello i have tried backing up files but i dont have permissions. I am using live cd and i wanted to recover my accidentally deleted kernels

[12:25] <Gerowen> Random thought.  I'm using a laptop with just a microphone and speaker jack.  I sometimes loop my microphone to the output and use it to monitor or record radio traffic from my CB radio base station.  Is there mixer software I could use in conjunction with this to adjust sound properties, equalize volume levels between weak and strong signals, etc.?
[12:25] <omich> hi guys, after locking screen my mouse spawning on non-primary display, can I fix this somehow?
[12:25] <EriC^^> Gerowen: pavucontrol
[12:26] <Johnny_Linux> Gerowen , go to radio shack and get you a passive 5 band E Q
[12:26] <EriC^^> Gerowen: not sure check it out
[12:26] <Johnny_Linux> Gerowen , i repair ham and cb radio
[12:27] <Gerowen> Johnny_Linux: Will check that out, thanks.  Eric^^: It's basically just an expanded sound control program, no equalizer or anything, but thanks, :-)
[12:28] <Johnny_Linux> Gerowen , any passive E Q will work, its just radio shack is prolly the cheapest
[12:29] <Johnny_Linux> passive = non amplified
[12:29] <samthewildone> Ok I'm having a problem here.
[12:29] <samthewildone> I'm trying to record a video on another workspace, though everytime I switch to my working space it records what I'm doing.
[12:29] <samthewildone> I have 4 work spaces
[12:30] <samthewildone> 1 is to work, 2 is to record a video and the others just are there.
[12:30] <samthewildone> I check'd the playback of the recording and it recorded workspace 2 but, when I switch back to workspace 1 it recorded what I was doing.
[12:35] <Wulf> in Wily, why can't I install both libepoxy0:amd64 and libepoxy0:i386 at the same time?
[12:35] <Voyage> Has anyone done a multi seat config?
[12:36] <k1l_> !15.10 | Wulf
[12:36] <wydhry> Wulf - lol question , sorry.
[12:37] <Voyage> where to make xorg.conf?
[12:37] <Wulf> k1l_: thanks
[12:37] <samthewildone> anyone ?
[12:37] <samthewildone> help ?
[12:37] <Wulf> wydhry: if you're so smart, just tell me the answer, okay?
[12:38] <samthewildone> how can I just record one workspace not the whole desktop ?

[12:44] <unpchar> run in pc startup. like a daemon or service
[12:46] <Voyage> this is the closest I can get but I have kubuntu 14 LTS. Is this still valid : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX#Single_xorg.conf   ?
[12:47] <auronandace> unpchar: if you are on 15.04 it is best to do it the systemd way otherwise you'll want to look at how upstart does it

[13:00] <Voyage>  how can I add devices in xorg? mouse, keyboard, vga? I am trying to do multiseat
[13:00] <reisio> Voyage: how can't you
[13:01] <HexTq> well i dont really know now
[13:02] <Celphish> I mean, my usb 3.0 ports work, but they seem to work at 2.0 speed, which I notice when I move around my mouse on my displalink-connected monitors
[13:02] <Voyage> reisio,  am.. I am following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX#Single_xorg.conf  but REALLY dont know how to add devices for each seat / how to write xorg.conf
[13:02] <HexTq> yes thats what lsusb sees
[13:02] <Celphish> but I can't seem to find drivers anywhere
[13:03] <reisio> Voyage: did you try not writing any yet?
[13:03] <Celphish> it's a regular mobile intel chipset
[13:03] <reisio> Celphish: check that xhci is going
[13:03] <Celphish> reisio: how?
[13:03] <Voyage> reisio,  this is  a sample I got. But I dont know how to get device values and is it ok to write in same manner
[13:04] <HexTq> Celphish 14.04?
[13:04] <Celphish> HexTq: ya
[13:04] <reisio> Celphish: lsmod | grep -i xhci; zgrep -i xhci /proc/config.gz
[13:04] <samthewildone> anyone know how to record just a single workspace ?
[13:04] <reisio> Voyage: you can't really break anything if you do it wrong :)
[13:04] <reisio> samthewildone: I'm not sure how to record more than a single one
[13:04] <Voyage> reisio,  hm I cant break things? hm ok. so is that sample ok for kubuntu 14 LTC?
[13:05] <Voyage> LTS
[13:05] <HexTq> there is a mention of a bug
[13:05] <samthewildone> I just want to have a recorder running on one of my workspaces while I do something else.
[13:05] <reisio> Voyage: it's just a config, either it works or it doesn't
[13:05] <Celphish> reisio: don't have any filed at /proc/config.gz
[13:05] <Voyage> reisio,  ok
[13:05] <reisio> it's very hard to brick anything with a config, except perhaps an older scanner
[13:05] <samthewildone> Everytime I start the recorded in one workspace and move to the other it records the others.
[13:05] <Voyage> reisio,  did you ever did multi seat btw?
[13:05] <reisio> Voyage: not so far, no :)
[13:06] <reisio> wanted to put my folks on one, but there was whining
[13:06] <reisio> apparently they're too rich for that
[13:07] <Voyage> how do I make commments in the xorg.conf?
[13:16] <Celphish> afk 5 mins
[13:20] <samthewildone> yo, I'm going to do a screen recording from live ubuntu.
[13:20] <samthewildone> Is it possible to have a folder on the server which the recording can be dumped ?
[13:20] <samthewildone> like a folder to be accessed outside the server.
[13:21] <Voyage> strange that I cannot list my 2 vgas. (I am using both at the same time) but only one is being displayed in lspci |grep -i vga (I have one built in and one external video card)
[13:23] <Amoz> Voyage, pastebin lspci -vvv
[13:23] <Celphish> back
[13:24] <Celphish> so, usb 3.0, intel drivers, anyone know where to find them? google is just a pain in the ass
[13:24] <Voyage> Amoz,  http://pastie.org/10381555
[13:26] <Amoz> Voyage, what's your "external" card?

[13:28] <ash_work> how do you do characters on ubuntu like... 1/2 in windows is alt+0178 (if I remember correctly) ?
[13:29] <Amoz> Voyage, the GF 8400 ?
[13:30] <Voyage> yes
[13:30] <Amoz> ash_work, ctrl+shift+u, release, now type the digits and spacebar
[13:31] <ash_work> hmm
[13:31] <TJ-> ash_work: Right-Alt + 5 = ½
[13:31] <ash_work> I guess I've memorized the ansi codes
[13:31] <TJ-> ash_work: Right-Alt + Shift + 5 = ⅜
[13:31] <ash_work> TJ-: its not working for me
[13:32] <TJ-> ash_work: it may depend on your meta/super etc key assignments
[13:32] <Amoz> ash_work, do you get the chars at all? Or do you just get incorrect ones?
[13:33] <TJ-> ash_work: Right-Alt + number-row = ¹€#¼½¾{[]}\
[13:33] <TJ-> ash_work: Right-Alt + Shift + number row = ¬¡⅛£$⅜⅝⅞™±°¿
[13:34] <Amoz> TJ-, but that is just the chars from your keyboard charset, isn't it?
[13:34] <ash_work> Amoz: incorrect... but I suspect that's my fault
[13:34] <ash_work> what is 1/2 supposed to be?
[13:34] <Amoz> ash_work, check the Gnome character map
[13:34] <ash_work> Amoz: I don't see a 1/2 character in the map
[13:35] <TJ-> Amoz: The UTF characters should be assigned to relatively standard key-codes, allowing for keyboard layout/language.
[13:36] <Voyage> These are my devices I was able to sort out. I hope that identification is enough. Now I have NO idea how to set 2 groups of multiseat. http://pastie.org/10381571   I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX#Single_xorg.conf but its over my head
[13:36] <TJ-> ash_work: try combinations of the right Ctrl/Alt/Shift keys and other printable keys, see if you discover the correct combo. Sometimes you have to press + release Right-Alt, press+release right Ctrl, then press a printable key (with or without shift)
[13:37] <ash_work> TJ-: thanks
[13:37] <ash_work> is there a way to like, name your windows?
[13:38] <ash_work> It always takes me a moment to figure out which term is which
[13:39] <EriC^^> ash_work: terminal > set title
[13:41] <ash_work> EriC^^: thanks
[13:41] <EriC^^> np
[13:47] <MrElendig> you can also set your shell up to automaticly name it
[13:48] <Marezz> is it possible that ubuntu update manager cause lag on my irc client if it only checks for updates?
[13:51] <MrElendig> Marezz: yes, if your network suck and you are not doing QoS
[13:51] <MrElendig> Marezz: so will any other network traffic, like downloading <insert random stuff here>
[13:52] <MrElendig> specially of a lot of concurrent connections are opened
[13:52] <Marezz> MrElendig, well its cable net 25/3, i think its enough for checking updates >.<
[13:52] <MrElendig> eg using torrents
[13:52] <MrElendig> specially if your router is one of those cheap trash isp provided ones
[13:53] <Marezz> i dont have a router
[13:54] <MrElendig> only a dumb modem
[13:54] <MrElendig> ?
[13:54] <Marezz> just a modem
[13:54] <MrElendig> many people actually have a router even though they think it is just a modem
[13:54] <Marezz> it is a modem
[13:55] <Marezz> i know what router is
[13:55] <MrElendig> anyway, goes for the same thing
[13:56] <MeowZedong> hi, I tried installing Dropbox through Ubuntu Software Center, I went to the In Progress panel and the progress bar is stuck at around 70% completed for a while now.
[13:56] <MeowZedong> What are the ramification of killing Ubuntu Software Center at this point? would it leave the Dropbox package in limbo, making it impossible to purge?
[13:56] <MeowZedong> thanks for your help
[14:01] <cfhowlett> MeowZedong, sudo apt-get install dropbox --reinstall should sort you out
[14:01] <MeowZedong> cfhowlett: i can kill -9 the Ubuntun Software Center no harms done?
[14:02] <cfhowlett> MeowZedong, kill it
[14:02] <Twirl> Is github desktop available in ubuntu?
[14:05] <jpds> Twirl: https://desktop.github.com/
[14:05] <Twirl> jpds: "Available for Mac and Windows" ?
[14:06] <jpds> Twirl: Pretty much
[14:06] <cfhowlett> perhaps in virtualbox/wine??
[14:07] <Twirl> cfhowlett: not worth it
[14:07] <easysleeper> greetings - I have recently compiled a 4.1.6 kernel with 3 patches for a Surface Pro 3. Everything works very well except one thing. The built in ethernet port on the docking station. This ethernet port WAS working prior to this update. I cannot even find it now. Any ideas? otherwise I have a flawless Surface Pro 3 install with xubuntu 15.04 and a patched 4.1.6 kernel
[14:08] <Twirl> someone should por it already
[14:09] <jpds> Twirl: Better go and talk to GitHub
[14:09] <cfhowlett> Twirl, never used it, but I am certain that linux alternatives are available across all the major platforms
[14:09] <cfhowlett> but yeah: ask github
[14:10] <Paddy_NI> Does anyone remember the name of the collaborative note taking app that was predominantly used at UDS and such?
[14:10] <Paddy_NI> Gobby or something
[14:10] <MeowZedong> cfhowlett: much obliged
[14:10] <cfhowlett> MeowZedong, you good now?
[14:11] <MeowZedong> it’s downloading dropbox, but from the command line
[14:11] <MeowZedong> so i am good
[14:11] <Paddy_NI> Never mind I got it, it actually is called Gobby :-)
[14:11] <cfhowlett> MeowZedong, happy2help!
[14:11] <MeowZedong> cfhowlett++
[14:11] <Paddy_NI> I keep forgetting I can use the google on the internet machine thing
[14:12] <MonkeyDust> Paddy_NI  or other search engines
[14:13] <Paddy_NI> MonkeyDust, What's a search engine
[14:13] <MonkeyDust> Paddy_NI  soething you use to search something on the internet
[14:14] <Paddy_NI> The internet machine
[14:14] <MonkeyDust> Paddy_NI  like google or duckduckgo
[14:15] <Paddy_NI> I used duckduckgo for a time however I grew tired of having to append !g to every search query
[14:15] <MonkeyDust> Paddy_NI  yes, g! is to make it a google search
[14:16] <MonkeyDust> why use ddg if you always add the !g
[14:16] <Paddy_NI> MonkeyDust, exactly
[14:17] <Paddy_NI> I prefer to have an efficient workflow, duckduckgo does not fit with that ideology
[14:17] <Paddy_NI> Anyway I should not be discussing this here
[14:17] <Paddy_NI> :-)
[14:19] <reisio> Paddy_NI: aliases, man
[14:20] <Paddy_NI> reisio, Yes I really should get on that
[14:20] <Paddy_NI> reisio, Long overdue
[14:21] <eshant> Twirl: http://www.syntevo.com/smartgit/
[14:25] <Paddy_NI> reisio, I may ask you some questions on aliases later if you don't mind?
[14:25] <Paddy_NI> reisio, And are still here :-)
[14:26] <Paddy_NI> MonkeyDust, I do cringe at myself when I have all my eggs in one basket
[14:26] <Paddy_NI> I do however use startpage occasionally
[14:26] <Paddy_NI> But that is basically just a google wrapper of sorts
[14:26] <Paddy_NI> or middleman
[14:27] <reisio> Paddy_NI: ?
[14:27] <reisio> what browser do you use
[14:27] <Paddy_NI> reisio, Firefox and Chrome
[14:28] <Paddy_NI> Have to leave for an appointment bbl
[14:28] <reisio> Paddy_NI: http://www-archive.mozilla.org/docs/end-user/keywords.html
[14:28] <reisio> not sure what the process is in chrome
[14:28] <Paddy_NI> reisio, Oh I am well aware of that
[14:29] <Paddy_NI> I thought you meant some sort of alias for duckduckgo that automatically uses google
[14:29] <Paddy_NI> nm
[14:29] <Paddy_NI> have to run
[14:29] <reisio> how many aliases do you need that do the same thing :p
[14:29] <daro> Hi. Would anyone dare to solve http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32250914/bash-script-works-as-it-should-when-started-from-terminal-but-it-doesnt-when-in
[14:30] <GTFr0> anyone know what the current HWE kernel version is for 14.04.3?
[14:30] <GTFr0> is it 3.16 or 3.19?
[14:30] <MonkeyDust> daro  ther's also #bash
[14:30] <daro> MonkeyDust: Tried there already, they've sent me here ;)
[14:36] <daro> GTFr0: apt-cache search linux-image
[14:36] <NK8M_> hi everyone
[14:38] <cfhowlett> NK8M_, greetings.  ask your ubuntu question.
[14:38] <NK8M_> I have a question I was hoping to possibly get some help with please.  I have an HP TC4400 laptop, upon which I had originally installed ubuntu 12.04.  I had everything working but the softkeys, including the fingerprint reader, which would let me log in with my fingerprints.  I have since upgraded the installation to 14.04, and tried out several different desktop managers, but for some reason I can no longer log in via fingerprints
[14:38] <NK8M_>  from the log in screen.  Any ideas?
[14:39] <reisio> you know those things aren't remotely secure
[14:39] <reisio> and if you're not encrypting, it doesn't even matter if they are (they aren't)
[14:41] <adison> hello
[14:41] <adison> Whats is girls
[14:41] <adison> ?
[14:44] <GTFr0> daro: I see 3.13, 3.16 and 3.19.  I assume that means that 3.19 is the 14.04.3 HWE kernel?
[14:44] <NK8M_> reisio: while I'm sure they aren't, it's more of a convenience thing for me.
[14:44] <NK8M_> vs a try for better security
[14:45] <Amoz> GTFr0, "By default, the 14.04.3 point release will ship with a newer 3.19 Linux kernel from Ubuntu 15.04, and a matching X.org stack. "
[14:46] <Amoz> GTFr0, for future reference, that information is usually included in the release notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes
[14:46] <GTFr0> Amoz: Thanks
[14:47] <GTFr0> Amoz: I didn't realize they put out release notes for the point releases
[14:48] <cfhowlett> GTFr0, every release has notes.
[14:49] <NK8M_> no thoughts?  If someone responded, I apologize, I missed it.  Seems my internet connection went a little wonky for a few
[14:49] <mobile3> cfhowlett: how to install convert module ?
[14:49] <cfhowlett> mobile3, I've no idea what that is so can't advise
[14:50] <mobile3> cfhowlett: It converts pdf file thumbnails
[14:50] <Leverquin> i think i will tonight remove win 7 and set up 14.04 :3
[14:51] <Amoz> NK8M_, have you checked if it works on a new install?
[14:52] <NK8M_> Amoz: you mean removing and reinstalling the fingerprint-gui, libbsapi, and the policy?  yes
[14:52] <cfhowlett> mobile3, it's an app?
[14:52] <Amoz> NK8M_, did it work out of the box in 12.04 ?
[14:53] <NK8M_> Amoz: out of the box, no.  once I installed the libbsapi, fingerprint-gui, and policy, it worked fine
[14:53] <Amoz> NK8M_, actually, I meant if you tried a fresh install of 14.04. Did you --purge the packages or just "remove" ?
[14:54] <NK8M_> oh...
[14:54] <cofo> Sorry for my lack of knowledge I don't know what is new/changed in ubuntu 15.04 that i couldn't find in ubuntu 14.04. I want to know please.
[14:54] <NK8M_> I haven't tried a fresh install of 14.04.  and also, I just did the apt-get remove
[14:54] <Amoz> NK8M_, I believe all the config files and such is untouched if you just do a remove
[14:56] <NK8M_> Amoz: ok...I will try a purge of those files then
[14:56] <Leverquin> can someone define me "packages"?
[14:56] <Amoz> cofo, newer version of packages usually. The specific "new features" are usually mentioned in release notes
[14:56] <mobile3> cfhowlett: I don't think so... It may be a command line program.... see here http://23.250.19.128/_h5ai/  login without password
[14:56] <poppe> I have a slow athlon 64x2 5000+ processor. what do you think low latency or generic kernel?
[14:57] <cfhowlett> !lubuntu | poppe,
[14:57] <cofo> Amoz: Where can I find it please?
[14:58] <zetheroo> just wondering if clamtk is the only/best gui for clamav ... ?
[14:58] <Amoz> poppe, unless you actually know what lowlatency does, go with the generic
[14:58] <Amoz> cofo, on the wiki
[14:58] <cfhowlett> mobile3, got it.  convert is part of imagemagick
[14:58] <cfhowlett> !info imagemagick
[14:58] <ash_work> is there a quick way to copy a directory path from a folder icon?
[14:59] <ash_work> other than left-click > properties > highlight path > copy ?
[14:59] <mobile3> cfhowlett : how to install it on my ubuntu server ?
[14:59] <cfhowlett> mobile3, sudo apt install imagemagick
[14:59] <zetheroo> I just installed clamav-daemon and clamtk and when I open clamtk it shows a grey X beside the GUI version and the Antivirus definitions (Outdated) but I can't find anything in the gui to update the definitions ... did I miss installing something!?
[14:59] <EriC^^> ash_work: drag it to the terminal
[14:59] <Wader8> hello new here
[14:59] <zetheroo> This is Ubuntu 14.04
[15:00] <ash_work> EriC^^: neat!
[15:00] <cfhowlett> Wader8, greetings.  ask your ubuntu question
[15:00] <poppe> Amoz it is supposedly more responcive because it checks what processes ned extra attention but slower over all. Well that is what I know but I have no experience and I think my ubuntu is working fine with the generic. Im will be spending some time recompiling so just thought that I would go for the one kernel that fits my system best (sorry for beeing a noob)
[15:00] <NK8M_> Amoz: purged packages and reinstalling now
[15:00] <ash_work> EriC^^: you always have quick, succinct answers for me! Thanks ^^
[15:01] <poppe> cfhowlett,
[15:01] <Wader8> I was looking to use ZFS file system for my data arvhive HDD and i heard ubuntu is one of the good choices, I was wondering how can i start, I already read about it for a few days ...
[15:01] <EriC^^> ash_work: no problem :)
[15:02] <Wader8> I'm primarly Win7 User ... and I have quite some sorting and transferring to do, but because i'll have to use linux then I have to keep switching between the two
[15:02] <Wader8> archive* this is for backup the HDD will be sitting in the closet
[15:02] <NK8M_> brb
[15:02] <poppe> cfhowlett ubottu. hahaha... thanks for the advice. I really like the desktop experience on my ubuntu though. but I have just had it for 2 days so we will see. :)
[15:02] <cfhowlett> poppe, suggestion ...
[15:03] <MonkeyDust> Wader8  did you read this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZFS
[15:03] <ash_work> EriC^^: is ^^ supposed to be a smile?
[15:03] <ash_work> (in your name I mean)
[15:03] <cfhowlett> poppe, to TEST lubuntu's desktop environment (look & feel), sudo apt install lxde.  logout / choose lxde session / login.  this will NOT install the lubuntu desktop apps, only the DE
[15:04] <EriC^^> ash_work: nope
[15:04] <Wader8> I was reading primarly ZFS specific stuff but yeah I just got into this yesterday, so I heard there is some other peresquite that needs to be added that isn't installed in newer version by default
[15:05] <ash_work> EriC^^: might I ask what the ^^ means?
[15:05] <ash_work> ("look up" twice?)
[15:05] <Wader8> but since ZFS is more specific etc, more broad question, is there any advanced file transfer utility something like robocopy or teracopy equivalent from windows ?
[15:05] <poppe> cfhowlett: ok cool! I will definitely. :)
[15:06] <Wader8> for example teracopy transfers the file then it's test's it to check the CRC
[15:06] <EriC^^> ash_work: nope it's just the nick i've used since i was like 13 on dal.net, EriC^ was taken
[15:06] <ash_work> EriC^^: okay... so why the ^ on EriC^ ?
[15:06] <EriC^^> cause EriC was taken
[15:06] <MonkeyDust> Wader8  depends on what those programs do... in linux, rsync is very common and fast
[15:06] <EriC^^> haha :D
[15:06] <ash_work> lol
[15:07] <ash_work> I'm gonna pretend you said you were just happy when you made the nick
[15:07] <ash_work> :P
[15:07] <Wader8> just recently I had a major transfer problem, i lost 50GB of data due to shitty windows command prompt copy utility ( i used ordinary, not robocopy, robo would tell me which files were skipped/failed)
[15:07] <NK8M_> Amoz: yeah, may have to try fresh install...that didn't work
[15:07] <EriC^^> ash_work: lol
[15:07] <EriC^^> i was happy :D
[15:07] <pbx> anybody use Outlook Web App and have a trick to work around its browser-sniffing and give you the "full" version?  changing UA to IE does not suffice alas
[15:08] <zetheroo> I cannot get clamdscan to start ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/12214823/
[15:08] <MonkeyDust> Wader8  in ubuntu, use   rsync -a --progress [from] [to]
[15:08] <Amoz> Wader8, you also have the option of btrfs as a more linux native alternative to ZF
[15:08] <Amoz> ZFS*
[15:08] <Furai> Ok, something weird happened. I have no sound. Ubuntu 15.04. Yesterday it was there.
[15:09] <Furai> Now in sound setting I have nothing to choose from for output devices.
[15:09] <Wader8> not sure what BTRFS is .... i just used linux mint for a few months, but mint doesn't have ZFS support so it seems
[15:10] <dangoo87> Greetings good sirs.  I am having an issue where I'm unable to have any sound registered from my microphone (usb headset with two jacks for sound+mic).  I've plugged them in at the back, but no mic sound registered, and the mic volume in sound settings is greyed out at mute.
[15:10] <cfhowlett> !btrfs | Wader8
[15:10] <jmadero> has anyone upgraded their Thunderbird and seen big performance losses?
[15:11] <Wader8> oh, this is important data I have here :) heh
[15:11] <ash_work> oh yeah, does anyone happen to know right of the bat why an MSI gamining laptop would never return from suspend on Ubuntu 14.04 ?
[15:11] <jmadero> Thunderbird 38.2.0 to be precise
[15:11] <cfhowlett> jmadero, "has anyone ..." questions are a waste of space.  YOUR issues and specs are much more informative
[15:11] <Celphish> sorry if I missed the answer, but does anyone know where I can find the drivers for Intel USB 3.0?
[15:11] <ash_work> I haven't googled it yet, but I thought I'd throw it out there
[15:11] <jmadero> cfhowlett: um it's called triaging and reproducing
[15:11] <jmadero> it's pretty common thing to ask
[15:11] <jmadero> I open thunderbird and immediately it freezes for anywhere from 20-60 seconds
[15:11] <jmadero> just started happening after update
[15:12] <Wader8> one other thing guys, which ubuntu GUI resembles win7 GUI the most ?
[15:13] <NK8M_> on, one other question.  does anyone know of a linux distro (preferably deb based) that uses cairo as the DM out of the box?
[15:13] <xangua> Wader8: windows resembles KDE probably, but you can make KDE look whatever you want
[15:14] <Wader8> thanks
[15:14] <sudomarize> If i'm using curl, how can i use a file after -d instead of a string?, e.g. curl -XPUT 'somestring' -d myfile.txt
[15:15] <ash_work> theres like 10 million questions here! :P
[15:16] <mobile3> cfhowlett : I installed that, still it is showing "no" , check that page...!
[15:16] <pbx> sudomarize, curl manpage says "If  you start the data with the letter @, the rest should be a file name to read the data from..." - try that
[15:16] <cfhowlett> mobile3, dpkg -l | grep imagemagick
[15:17] <sudomarize> pbx: so "curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/events/_mapping/event' -d @myfile.txt?
[15:17] <mobile3> cfhowlett : ii  imagemagick                     8:6.7.7.10-6ubuntu3                 i386         image manipulation programs ii  imagemagick-common              8:6.7.7.10-6ubuntu3                 all          image manipulation programs -- infrastructure
[15:18] <cfhowlett> mobile3, ok then you have it.  convert                 should display the man page
[15:18] <zetheroo> anyone know how to solve this issue with clamav? http://paste.ubuntu.com/12214823/
[15:19] <mobile3> cfhowlett: ya it is displaying it, but why on that page it is showing no ?
[15:20] <Celphish> http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/usb3/sb/CS-033079.htm
[15:20] <pbx> sudomarize, that's what it sounds like to me.  read the manpage and see for yourself. then try it
[15:20] <Celphish> wow, that was helpful, fuck you intel
[15:20] <cfhowlett> mobile3, no idea ...
[15:20] <Amoz> Wader8, Btrfs is still under development, but a lot of us use it daily without and hickups at all. Depending on what you want to use it for it might suit you. A simple RAID1 setup is definitely quite "stable", even according to the developers. Although, *always* have backups on important stuff, no matter if you use ZFS, FAT or ext4
[15:20] <Voyage>  I had this http://pastie.org/10381718  in xorg and tried to do multiseat in kubuntu but when I rebooted, the display on 'kubuntu' logo got stuck. I have to put livecd to delete the file. Any clues?
[15:20] <sudomarize> pbx: yep it works, thanks
[15:20] <xangua> !language | Celphish
[15:20] <Celphish> xangua: ubottu sooooorry :)
[15:20] <dv310p3r> Ok, I've searched and tried everything and still can't figure out what's up. I had a ubuntu 14.04 server with an NTFS 3tb drive connected. I pulled the 3tb drive out and am connecting it to another ubuntu server via USB and it just won't mount. error: ntfs-3g: Failed to access volume '/dev/sdb1': No such file or directory
[15:20] <Amoz> Wader8, correction: "without any hickups"
[15:20] <Wader8> Amoz, the thing im doing now, is the backup, I can't afford to make a backup of the backup
[15:20] <mobile3> cfhowlett: okay can you tell me about others on that page like ffmpeg, du  and zip ?
[15:21] <dv310p3r> It shows up fine when I do an fdisk -l
[15:22] <dangoo87> Greetings good sirs.  I am having an issue where I'm unable to have any sound registered from my microphone (usb headset with two jacks for sound+mic).  I've plugged them in at the back, but no mic sound registered, and the mic volume in sound settings is greyed out at mute.
[15:24] <momomo> what do you call the menu that normally includes, preferences, edit, and stuff like that? context-menu, application-menu, /.... something like that?
[15:24] <momomo> but it has a name does it not?
[15:24] <Amoz> Wader8, I understand. It's hard to actually make promises about reliable software, I can just talk from my experience. I've been running it as my primary server FS (2x3TB RAID1), where I have lots of files and backups for my laptops. It's been working without any problems. But of course, that doesn't say much =(
[15:25] <wellsmontague> Happy Friday!
[15:25] <Amoz> Wader8, the nice thing about it compared to ZFS is that you can just put a bunch of different disk sizes in it, and some other stuff that ZFS can't do. It's also supported out of the box, compared to ZFS.
[15:26] <wellsmontague> oh snap!  Apple stock $AAPL at high of day!  Go baby!
[15:26] <Wader8> Amoz. well if ZFS doesn't provide any more protection without deduplication than NTFS then I think it doesn't make , since I'll have to switch between OSs every time i have to transfer something and it's a lot
[15:26] <Voyage> log at bottom http://pastie.org/10381822
[15:26] <Wader8> well once i'm done archiving i won't have to do that as much so i migth power-through that if it means better data integrity
[15:27] <Wader8> I have one 2TB HDD, and this is not for operation, this is for the closet, so it'll be sitting unpowered 95% of it's lifetime
[15:29] <Amoz> Wader8, deduplication is something else, I think you mean duplication/RAID, no? Also, It's very good to have checksums , which both ZFS/Btrfs has, NTFS has not.
[15:30] <Wader8> Amoz, no i do not mean RAID, since I'm a desktop user at home, I don't have any servers, and I already have my HDD cage full, so any extra HDDs will not be plugged-in all the time
[15:31] <Amoz> Wader8, in your case I suppose it's better to just copy your stuff on to a normal FS and manually checksum the stuff , such that you can check the integrity.
[15:32] <Celphish> is there a way to enable xhci drivers?
[15:38] <Voyage> there is no /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc, where do I put configs
[15:38] <Voyage> kubuntu
[15:39] <Voyage> helo......
[15:39] <MonkeyDust> Voyage  there are some 270 people in #kubuntu
[15:39] <Voyage> all sleeping then
[15:40] <davis> i have a odd problem. On my laptop, if I have my eth0 cable plugged in and I boot NetworkManager works. wlan0 will auto connect. However, if I have the eth0 unconnected, netiher wlan0 does not connect.
[15:40] <cfhowlett> Voyage, your user configs?  usually in your /home
[15:40] <Celphish> anyone? I would really like to get ubuntu to understand that my usb-ports are 3.0, not 2.0
[15:41] <MonkeyDust> Voyage  and 450 in #kde
[15:41] <Voyage>  where should I put these settings? http://pastebin.com/bxGbHNra
[15:42] <TomyWork> https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/trusty/intellij-idea-ce/ if i click the big orange "available on software center" button here, i get an error claiming the opposite of what the button is claiming

[15:57] <UbuntuIndia> cfhowlett thanks
[15:57] <TomyWork> that # thing is not a hashtag btw
[15:58] <ajatshatru> and it aint twitter lol
[15:58] <Voyage> where should I place this http://pastebin.com/7GqELp0k ?
[15:59] <reisio> Voyage: looks like something to do with /etc/lightdm/
[15:59] <Voyage> reisio,  which file in it?
[15:59] <Voyage> someNamed.conf?
[15:59] <reisio> the obvious one
[15:59] <Voyage> obvious one? whats that?
[15:59] <Voyage> theres only users.conf
[15:59] <Voyage> there
[16:00] <reisio> probably lightdm.conf
[16:00] <reisio> where'd you get it?
[16:00] <Voyage>  /etc/lightdm/users.conf
[16:00] <Norbin> !server
[16:00] <ajatshatru> btw i use elementary os on a pc with 1 gb ram (i know it sucks). when i untick the option called "show memory used by cache as free" in the task manager, the used ram is shown as around 800 MB :-/ why?
[16:01] <Voyage> reisio,  theres one /etc/init/lightdm.conf
[16:01] <cfhowlett> !elemenatary | ajatshatru
[16:01] <bazhang> ask in hte elementary channel ajatshatru
[16:01] <ajatshatru> i did. it's empty
[16:01] <cfhowlett> ajatshatru, elementary is not ubuntu.  not supported here.  not our problem.
[16:01] <bazhang> ajatshatru, then be patient, its not supported here
[16:02] <MonkeyDust> ajatshatru  or use a better supported distro
[16:02] <cfhowlett> such as ubuntu
[16:02] <bazhang> !elementary
[16:02] <bazhang> ajatshatru, ^
[16:02] <ajatshatru> is the latest LTS verson of ubuntu running well with 1 gb ram?
[16:03] <ajatshatru> i am guessin 14.04.3
[16:03] <cfhowlett> ajatshatru, lubuntu or xubuntu for 1 gb ram
[16:03] <bazhang> ajatshatru, you said you are on elementary
[16:03] <ajatshatru> i have the ubuntu dvd for 14.04.3
[16:03] <bazhang> ajatshatru, so boot it up and see
[16:04] <ajatshatru> but i think lubuntu will do it (it looks terrible)
[16:04] <ajatshatru> :-(
[16:05] <MonkeyDust> ajatshatru  then make it beautifull with a !theme
[16:05] <ioria> TomyWork, maybe is in this package libgradle-plugins-java, take a look
[16:05] <TomyWork> surely not
[16:05] <Leverquin> reason why i will install ubuntu over mint tonight! - just because someone told me here "there are lot people on this channel, and many of them will help you". well thank you for cut my miserables about what to choice.
[16:05] <Voyage>  is this http://pastie.org/10381822 in /etc/X11/xorg.conf          and  this http://pastebin.com/7GqELp0k    in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf     ok?
[16:05] <TomyWork> that's a library from gradle which happens to integrate with intellij
[16:05] <ajatshatru> please suggest a good theme except numix please
[16:06] <TomyWork> (gradle, not that library, i think)
[16:06] <bazhang> ajatshatru, check the website for them
[16:06] <MonkeyDust> Leverquin  apart from that, what was your question?
[16:06] <bazhang> ajatshatru, no one here can decide what is good for you
[16:07] <Leverquin> there was no question just happy thought about gettin into linux
[16:07] <ajatshatru> leverquin you did the right thing
[16:07] <cfhowlett> Leverquin, may I suggest a bit of reading : www.fullcirclemagazine.org/downloads issue #99
[16:07] <sudomarize> how can i close access to all ports unless the request comes from that same machine (except port 80 obviously)? (using nginx/gunicorn for my django webapp)
[16:09] <TomyWork> sudomarize with iptables i guess :)
[16:09] <TomyWork> cant help you with the details though
[16:10] <mikael> Has anyone experience using Android studio on Ubuntu? Does it work OK?
[16:10] <TomyWork> but try googling "iptables close all ports except 80"
[16:11] <moat_joe> How can I get a backtrace from a .core file?
[16:11] <dv310p3r> Can anyone help with mounting a 3tb usb drive that was working fine on a different Ubuntu server
[16:11] <dv310p3r> when i try to mount I get the following error: ntfs-3g: Failed to access volume '/dev/sdb1': No such file or directory
[16:11] <cfhowlett> dv310p3r, ask the server folk?   #ubuntu-server
[16:12] <dv310p3r> Right direction, cfhowlett thank you
[16:12] <cfhowlett> happy2help!  dv310p3r
[16:15] <TomyWork> what do i install in order to get the latest linux-headers all the time?
[16:16] <TomyWork> ah, linux-headers-generic
[16:17] <genii> TomyWork: linux-headers-generic and linux-image-generic
[16:17] <genii> Then whenever kernel upgrades, headers also are
[16:17] <TomyWork> i probably already have the later :)
[16:17] <TomyWork> yep, i do
[16:20] <burningChrome_> hi
[16:21] <burningChrome_> is there a way to slow down the download speed?
[16:22] <habbasi> burningChrome_: For what program?
[16:22] <burningChrome_> firefox
[16:23] <Mister_> Hi
[16:23] <Mister_> Anybody here today ?
[16:23] <cfhowlett> Mister_, ask your ubuntu question
[16:24] <burningChrome_> For example, if I go to youtube
[16:24] <burningChrome_> I don't want to download videos at 220kb/s
[16:24] <burningChrome_> but at 100kb/s (for example)
[16:24] <Mister_> ok tnx, trouble about disk unit (USB) .i got a deleted directory and want to recover !
[16:25] <EriC^^> Mister_: type sudo apt-get install testdisk
[16:25] <MonkeyDust> burningChrome_  in firefox, type   about:config
[16:25] <Mister_> ok i already got it onboard  (said terminal)
[16:25] <burningChrome_> aha
[16:26] <burningChrome_> what else?
[16:26] <TomyWork> burningChrome_ what purpose?
[16:26] <MonkeyDust> burningChrome_  find what you need
[16:26] <TomyWork> testing or QoS?
[16:26] <Mister_> test disk could recover all my datas ?
[16:26] <burningChrome_> the purpose is that my room mate STOPS complaining, tomaw
[16:26] <echo1> Hi, I'm facing an issue with wifi connections by using nmcli on my ubuntu server 14.04 32bit: "nmcli -p dev wifi" I don't receive nothing back. I have checked first if my wifi interface is up: "ip link show" the response is "wlan0 <BROADCAST, MULTICAST, UP, LOWER_UP> mq state UP". To be sure I launch "ip link set wlan0 up" again and after I ensure NetworkMan is enabled by running: "nmcli nm enable". My scanning with "nmcli
[16:26] <echo1>  -p dev wifi list" gives me nothing back as I told, but "id dev wlan0 scan" prompts me back the signals around me. How can I connect to wifi with nmcli?
[16:26] <burningChrome_> TomyWork,
[16:26] <TomyWork> yes?
[16:26] <EriC^^> Mister_: it depends, type sudo testdisk
[16:27] <Mister_> i did
[16:27] <burningChrome_> meh
[16:27] <Mister_> i don't know testdisk  : nothing about it ?
[16:28] <TomyWork> echo1 i dunno, i usually just use the plasma-network-manager thingy
[16:29] <Mister_> eric : it said  in menu : create ,append ,No Log  .What  do i choose ?
[16:29] <plytro> burningChrome_: https://www.debian-administration.org/article/187/Using_iptables_to_rate-limit_incoming_connections
[16:29] <plytro> close but not quite what you need
[16:29] <TomyWork> echo1 any reason for you to go for a command-line tool?
[16:29] <burningChrome_> thx plytro
[16:30] <plytro> TomyWork: he said he is on a server
[16:30] <TomyWork> oh
[16:30] <echo1> TomyWork: server
[16:30] <TomyWork> in that case, #ubuntu-server
[16:30] <EriC^^> Mister_: press on no log
[16:30] <Mister_> ok : no log
[16:31] <echo1> yeah, ok but nmcli can be addressed as ubuntu-desktop issue, am I wrong?
[16:32] <EriC^^> Mister_: ok, choose your usb
[16:32] <reisio> course
[16:32] <Mister_> eric :  other menu said Intel , EFI GPT,None  . What do i choose ?
[16:32] <EriC^^> keep what's default
[16:33] <echo1> I have tried to plug in second wifi inteface in that case I receive response from wifi, isn't it weired?
[16:33] <davel> hi i'm trying to boot installation iso file in a ntfs drive with efi boot
[16:33] <davel> but with no avail
[16:33] <Mister_> eric : testdisk wrote Disk /dev/sda/ (my hard drive) let me replug my USB key before
[16:33] <GTFr0> echo1: out of curiosity, why not just use wpasupplicant and set the wifi info in /etc/network/interfaces ?
[16:33] <davel> tried boot=casper isoscan/filename thing found on internet
[16:34] <davel> tried to extract iso files and put in a gpt part and boot from that partition
[16:34] <davel> tried to extract the squashfs file to directly boot to that
[16:34] <echo1> GTFr0: /etc/network/interfaces works fine
[16:34] <Mister_> eric : ok i replug my USB key (where i lost 400 Mo)  , i choose NoLog in 1st menu ...
[16:34] <davel> but the issue with the squashfs is many tiny issues to fix. add users, can't sudo can't su( i don't know why exactly can't)
[16:35] <Mister_> eric : then i select my USB key ...
[16:35] <EriC^^> Mister_: ok
[16:35] <davel> with error message of sudo must be owned by uid 0 and the setuid must be set thing
[16:35] <ash_work> is there a way to tile an application group?
[16:35] <davel> the squashfs was extracted to an ntfs partition
[16:35] <davel> i don't have a usb available
[16:35] <bazhang> davel, dont use enter as punctuation thats impossible to read
[16:35] <ash_work> like if you have 4 terminals, can you tile them such that they take up 1/4 of the screen each?
[16:36] <Mister_> ok then an other one menu apprear : Intel,EFI GPT,Mac,None,Sun,BOX,Return are the choices ; What do i select please?
[16:36] <MonkeyDust> davel  don't abuse the enter key, it has rights too
[16:36] <EriC^^> Mister_: keep what's selected
[16:36] <Strat> I'm looking for a software that can do: To-Do lists, view agenda (preferrably with google sync), etc.
[16:36] <Strat> Any recommendations?
[16:36] <Mister_> ok so i press on Intel option in menu
[16:36] <cfhowlett> Strat, look in the ubuntu software center
[16:36] <bazhang> apt-cache search term strat
[16:36] <EriC^^> Mister_: ok, press quick seach
[16:37] <EriC^^> *searhc
[16:37] <Mister_> ok i press on analyse option
[16:37] <davel> any idea of how to manually start the installation script from the installation iso?
[16:37] <ldlework> I tried to install some node package, which ended up installing a bunch of stuff related to cairo, and now when I try to start stuff like gedit or gnome-terminal, I get the following error: gnome-terminal: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgdk-3.so.0: undefined symbol: cairo_surface_set_device_scale
[16:37] <davel> i can boot into ramfs and load the iso
[16:37] <bazhang> davel, you dont extract the iso like that, for one
[16:37] <ldlework> I don't really know what to do
[16:38] <davel> bazhang: didn't want to
[16:38] <davel> bazhang: but all method on the internet doesn't work
[16:38] <GTFr0> anyone have an Intel 7260 Wifi card and have problems with constant disconnects?
[16:38] <dlam> for some reason my eth0 ethernet network always shows "disconnected" even though i'm plugged in right:  anyone know what to check or type?   i got like  Qualcomm Atheros Killer E2000 gigabit
[16:38] <Mister_> testdisk said : 2 wanings (my USB key is FAT32) , and whant me  to launch Quick search . Correct?
[16:38] <EriC^^> ok
[16:39] <bazhang> davel, and your posts are so spread out with the constant enter, no one can possibly follow or help with your issue
[16:39] <davel> bazhang: including the ubuntu isoboot page. I tried to loopback loop myiso and linux vmlinuz thing. it doesn't work either. The system complains it can't find the iso file
[16:39] <Mister_> ok i press it
[16:39] <GTFr0> mine seems to disconnect every 15 minutes or so, especially with 5 GHz networks
[16:39] <Mister_> Testdisk said search for partition created under Vista (Y/N)
[16:40] <EriC^^> Mister_: y
[16:40] <davel> bazhang: if i can boot to the ramfs and load the iso and actually run the file in the iso. how to start the installation process
[16:40] <davel> that's the only question
[16:40] <Mister_> ok i press Y option (but don't understand why) . Before ,do my Hard Drive  be opened ?
[16:41] <EriC^^> Mister_: what's it say now?
[16:41] <MonkeyDust> davel  not sure what you are doing, simply boot from the dvd or usb, 'try ubuntu', install from there
[16:41] <echo1> GTFr0: faced same problem (where are a lot of hosts connected to the same AP but not at home), the only solution what I found is to use 2.4ghz when it is possible.
[16:41] <davel> MonkeyDust: don't have dvd and usb.
[16:42] <MonkeyDust> davel  then how are you hoping to install?
[16:42] <Mister_> i dont press Y  yet , because i want to know if my H.drive must be opened before launching . Should i press Y anyway?
[16:42] <davel> MonkeyDust: it used to work with previous distros. one can even install in vmware with access to the real harddrive
[16:43] <davel> by which i mean the canonical distros which uses mbrs
[16:43] <GTFr0> echo1: hrm, well I guess it's not just me then... heh
[16:43] <MonkeyDust> davel  define 'it'... where do the vm's come in?
[16:43] <EriC^^> Mister_: yes press y
[16:43] <bazhang> MonkeyDust, an iso extracted to an ntfs drive
[16:43] <EriC^^> Mister_: no don't open anything
[16:44] <MonkeyDust> ah, ntfs, missed that part
[16:44] <davel> MonkeyDust: you can actually use iso file to feed the vm and make the vm boot from that iso. and allow the vm to access the real harddrive
[16:44] <bazhang> davel, dont extract the iso, and not t o ntfs
[16:44] <dangoo87> hi there, i have an ssd and a storage hdd.  I'm trying to set up my storage hdd as a shared steam library, but it says that it must be on a file system mounted with execute permissions.  It created the folder "SteamLibrary" in the storage though
[16:44] <davel> bazhang: it supposed to work. consider the ISO is READ ONLY. NTFS is KNOWN to be fine with READ ONLY
[16:45] <echo1> GTFr0: I haven't found yet a way around for busy wifi connection on 5ghz
[16:45] <Mister_> ok .Nothing opened.Tesdisk said warning ! My USB has strange datas, incorrect cylinder number 124 instead of 255 .Should i launch the scan anyway?
[16:46] <EriC^^> yeah
[16:46] <davel> bazhang: set aside this. is there any way to run ./install.sh in the iso to start the installation process
[16:46] <MonkeyDust> davel  so you are using vm, guests... what is the host?
[16:46] <echo1> GTFr0: a friend of mine has also the same problem on debian
[16:46] <davel> it will be so much easier
[16:46] <davel> MonkeyDust: windows. I tried this before with old machines. I'm using a new one with ssd
[16:46] <bazhang> davel, what ubuntu disto uses install /sh
[16:46] <MonkeyDust> davel  nothing about what you said, sounds 'easy'
[16:46] <davel> MonkeyDust: windows
[16:47] <Mister_> One moment before. Before launching process , should i do a backup of my USB key ? I mean testdisk could reach trouble may be ?
[16:47] <carlson05> how to make programs start automatically on system start?
[16:47] <whomobile> Good morning
[16:47] <marjory> which OS?
[16:47] <MonkeyDust> davel  so you are installing ubuntu in a vm?
[16:47] <carlson05> xubuntu 14.04
[16:47] <davel> MonkeyDust: no, i installed grub2win
[16:48] <MonkeyDust> !find grub2win
[16:48] <davel> MonkeyDust: otherwise, i wouldn't say i have tried to boot from the extracted iso or directly an iso file on an ntfs
[16:48] <davel> MonkeyDust: it's a windows app to take over the uefi boot loader
[16:49] <MonkeyDust> davel  have you considered asking in ##windows?
[16:49] <Mister_> eric, are you still here ?
[16:49] <whomobile> Can anyone recommend some vm settings for vm settings for a laptop with 2g ram . 32g emmc and quad atom processor please
[16:49] <davel> MonkeyDust: no..
[16:49] <reisio> whomobile: vm for what?
[16:49] <davel> MonkeyDust: it's supposed to be a ubuntu installation question
[16:49] <MonkeyDust> davel  i guess nobody gets what you are doing
[16:49] <ikonia> davel: please explain how this is anything to do with ubuntu and the support request ?
[16:50] <davel> MonkeyDust: install ubuntu on a windows machine without usb and just the iso
[16:50] <Mister_> eric, are you still here ? (brb 30 seconds)
[16:50] <davel> ikonia: err, because i'm trying to install the ubuntu iso. and the ubuntu installation iso is a bit tricky to understand the installation process
[16:50] <ikonia> davel: install the ubuntu iso ?
[16:51] <ikonia> davel: you boot the ubuntu iso and the install process walks you through it
[16:51] <bazhang> extracted iso to ntfs ikonia
[16:51] <ikonia> what part is not clear ? / causing a problem
[16:51] <ikonia> that is nothing to do with ubuntu
[16:51] <ikonia> that is not an ubuntu install method
[16:51] <EriC^^> Mister_: if you want to backup, why not, but it won't do damage unless you write to it or something
[16:51] <echo1> carlson05: Try adding the command to:
[16:51] <echo1> /etc/rc.d/rc.local
[16:51] <echo1> If it is to run in the background then put a space then an ampersand afetr it " &".
[16:51] <davel> bazhang: i'm not saying that's the only way i tried
[16:52] <ikonia> davel: please expain the problem you what help from ubuntu with
[16:52] <bazhang> davel, that is what you have asked the channel about
[16:52] <ikonia> (as in this channel)
[16:52] <ikonia> we need to cut to the chase a little as nothing is clear
[16:52] <davel> ikonia: how to start the installation while you boot in a ramfs i mounted the iso already
[16:52] <davel> but have no clue to start the installation app
[16:52] <ikonia> davel: you don't
[16:53] <ikonia> davel: you boot the ISO / use a supported install method
[16:53] <carlson05> thanks echo1
[16:54] <davel> ikonia: i don't have a dvd drive and don't get a usb stick
[16:54] <ikonia> davel: then you don't install
[16:54] <ikonia> davel: you get a DVD drive, or a USB stick, or you use a netboot (for example)
[16:54] <ikonia> davel: you need to use a supported method if you want to get help
[16:54] <Mister_> Sorry for telling you about backup , but i lost 400 Mo on USB key.All my personnal datas (in only one directory). It means that all my working files during 3 year (at least) could be lost. I don't want to do more damges trying to solve my problem (that i still don't know why and how did it happended)
[16:55] <davel> just try to see if any expert here might coin a shortcut method
[16:55] <ikonia> davel: you use a supported method - thats how you need to approach this
[16:55] <ikonia> davel: cd/usb/netboot/boot-iso/etc etc
[16:56] <davel> ikonia: i read there's isoboot on ubuntu page
[16:56] <EriC^^> Mister_: yes, back it up before anything if you didn't delete the file, cause the filesystem might be damaged or the usb
[16:56] <davel> ikonia: it doesn't work i'm not exatly sure why
[16:56] <davel> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot
[16:56] <EriC^^> Mister_: run dd if=/dev/sdxY of=/path/to/usb.img bs=4M conv=sync,noerror,trunc
[16:56] <EriC^^> Mister_: use sudo
[16:57] <Mister_> i do a backup , could you help me after backing up?
[16:57] <EriC^^> yes, run that command with sudo
[16:57] <davel> I try the method under the text "The following is an example GRUB menuentry for Ubuntu 12.04's 64-bit ISO, located in the user's Downloads folder of sda5."
[16:57] <EriC^^> also backup as you were, won't harm
[16:58] <ikonia> davel: you've not said what the actual problem was
[16:58] <echo1> Does anybody know what does "wlan0 unmanaged" by running "nmcli dev status"?
[16:58] <davel> ikonia: it complains it couldn't find the iso
[16:58] <echo1> *mean
[16:58] <ikonia> davel: then it's configured to look in the wrong place
[16:59] <Mister_> eric^^ one question again  : i've just got an idea about my problem! If i perform a "rm -R directory" could i recorver this directory again ?
[16:59] <EriC^^> Mister_: with fat32 yes it's easy
[17:00] <Mister_> oh my god , what a fantastic news ! So i fear i erased myself my own dictory maybe . So a solution could exist
[17:02] <EriC^^> Mister_: yeah, no worries
[17:04] <Mister_> EriC^^, i was so angry , i didn't know how a such trouble could exist! I even think tha my cat did the job: it always come one my keyboard . I sarted suspect him to push some key that could launch a fatal erasing process
[17:06] <EriC^^> Mister_: lol :D
[17:07] <ash_work> can you search for multiple files?
[17:07] <EriC^^> ash_work: find -iname "something" -o -iname "something"
[17:07] <Mister_> EriC^^, yes it's the truth. My cat always disturb me.Always looking afte me whereever i go.But more seriously i suspect bandit to be the reason of my crash.
[17:08] <burk_20> Hi all, the partition (SSD) of my ubuntu is almost full and I would like to use the hard disk for more expace. Is it possible to extend the SSD space with the hard disk?
[17:09] <ash_work> EriC^^: that wasn't want I meant
[17:09] <burk_20> I am not talking about mounting the hard disk, but on extending the available space. I need to install more programs in the "SSD"
[17:09] <ash_work> what*
[17:09] <compdoc> burk_20, you could mount whole directories on the other drive, like /home
[17:09] <burk_20> cl ö
[17:10] <burk_20> compdoc, that I already have in /home, is it possible to "move" or "extend" it with the hard disk using the mount option?
[17:10] <zach2825> hi, does anyone here know postfix?
[17:10] <burk_20> I dont want to mount on new folders
[17:10] <ikonia> many people
[17:10] <zach2825> lol thank you.
[17:11] <zach2825> im trying to see which domain which domain is queuing email
[17:11] <Bodsda> Hi, my xorg.conf is getting overwitten on every reboot. Can anyone suggest a way of identifying what program is overwriting it? -- I'm running ubuntu 15.04 + fluxbox
[17:11] <Mister_> EriC^^,you know my personnal job is creation (3D ) .So i am so dissapointed !
[17:11] <EriC^^> burk_20: use /home on the ssd instead and you'll get the space that /home takes up right now
[17:12] <EriC^^> to install programs
[17:12] <EriC^^> Mister_: should be ok
[17:13] <Mister_> EriC^^, thats all what i hope. (i saw so many stange troubles). It's one of the reason that make me join linux community.
[17:13] <zach2825> i currently host a few wordpress instances and one of them is hacked but i cannot tell which one is sending out the emails..
[17:15] <zach2825> oh and my server is ubuntu 14.04 and the mail service is postfix
[17:16] <Mister_> EriC^^,if you help me to solve my trouble , i 'll sent you a small Demo (about my job). just tell me yes if i ask you later to accept my present
[17:17] <moat_joe> Can I upload a .crash file to have it analyzed?
[17:17] <moat_joe> or can I get some useful info (like a backtrace) from it?
[17:17] <echo1> I have solved my problem: 1. Uncomment everything in /etc/network/interfaces under interface lo, in other words uncomment wlan and eth configuration. 2. Reboot. 3. Run: nmcli dev wifi con SSID_name password SSID_password iface wlan0
[17:18] <Noobi> is ubuntu good for programming?
[17:18] <Noobi> with python
[17:18] <Noobi> or should I try another *buntu version
[17:19] <echo1> Noobi: is not good, it is great
[17:19] <Noobi> ideal?
[17:19] <echo1> Noobi: each distro is fine actually, it depends on your pc
[17:20] <Noobi> It's a decent PC
[17:20] <echo1> Noobi: ubuntu is the way to go
[17:20] <Noobi> so I guess doing Lubuntu would be pointless since I don't have any performance issues
[17:20] <Noobi> Ok thanks :)
[17:20] <echo1> Noobi: that's right
[17:21] <lucidguy> ok confused.  Just changed my UID, but didn't have to chmod mass change all my $/* files.  Shouldnt all my old files still be listed with the old UID?
[17:21] <Bashing-om> Noobi: The only difference between (l)ubuntu and (u)buntu is the desk top and the default installed apps. The kernel is the kernel is the kernel and is the same .
[17:23] <Noobi> Bashing-om: So choosing between *buntu versions is not that important
[17:23] <bazhang> Bashing-om, the repos and the package mgmt as well
[17:23] <echo1> Noobi: for python it's not that important. Some packages they do change
[17:24] <bazhang> Noobi, important when ram etc is limited
[17:24] <Noobi> Also my tutorial requires I do bash first
[17:24] <jhutchins> lucidguy: How did you change it?
[17:24] <Noobi> So is ubuntu fine in that sense?
[17:24] <Bashing-om> Noobi: Subjective as to personal preference, and IF the hardware supports higher demands ( like 3d accelleration and so forth) .
[17:25] <echo1> Noobi: for python just install ubunti, is the easiest way and dont worry
[17:25] <dgarstang> Where's the best place to put a persistent lock file?
[17:26] <MonkeyDust> dgarstang  look in /Var/Lib/Apt/Lists/Lock
[17:26] <dgarstang> MonkeyDust: it's not for apt tho
[17:27] <josePHPagoda> hello everyone.  I'm trying to increase the stack size limit on my phpfpm daemon
[17:27] <josePHPagoda> i can't seem to get it to change
[17:27] <josePHPagoda> i've tried changing the init script to have ulimit -s unlimited
[17:27] <josePHPagoda> at the beginning and it doesn't seem to do anything
[17:31] <OneM_Industries> I am attempting to set up a pair of bluetooth headphones, but they will not play sound. I cannot find them in the sound settings, and I am not sure what I would need to do to get them to work.
[17:32] <OneM_Industries> They show up under bluetooth devices, but that is it,
[17:34] <Mister_> Eric^^, so i just crash scanning 2 probable suspect text files. And suddenly crash (Explorer dissapead ,Main Menu too)
[17:34] <Mister_> EriC^^,  But test disk terminal still running
[17:35] <EriC^^> run analyze
[17:36] <Mister_> let me check the directoy size where 2 txt files are  located .Cause i was backing up this directory
[17:39] <Mister_> This directory seems no to be backup , but it should be ! One strange thing mow , all directory on USB key are drawing with a padlock ICON .Why?
[17:40] <EriC^^> Mister_: it's probably mounted by root
[17:40] <Mister_> i was wrong part of dirctoy is backup
[17:40] <OerHeks> OneM_Industries, you might need the stream2ip package >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothHeadset
[17:40] <Mister_> i check both size now
[17:41] <Mister_> linux tells 407 Mo size for original directory
[17:42] <Mister_> and said 406.8 Mo for backup directory , all is nearly good
[17:42] <Mister_> but very strange txt files . Maybe zipping then before copy
[17:43] <Mister_> i am fed up so i launch analyse now?
[17:44] <EriC^^> ok
[17:44] <Mister_> i try with help of GOD now
[17:44] <EriC^^> Mister_: do you have any file you remember from the dir that was deleted?
[17:45] <EriC^^> what was the dir called?
[17:45] <OneM_Industries> OerHeks: How would I verify that I have that? Synaptic Package Manager does not show that package.
[17:45] <Mister_> no because there were so many files. But i can look after very old backup to know about some name.
[17:46] <EriC^^> Mister_: what was it called?
[17:46] <Mister_> can you imagine about 200 Mo of some text files !
[17:46] <EriC^^> ( the dir )
[17:46] <OerHeks> OneM_Industries, good point, i only read the manual
[17:47] <Mister_> EriC^^,  i can't tell the names because my job is secret (CREATION)
[17:47] <Mister_> lets return to testdisk
[17:47] <EriC^^> Mister_: ok, type sudo find /path/to/usb -iname "*dirname*"
[17:48] <EriC^^> Mister_: i think you might have moved the file and dropped it into another dir
[17:49] <Mister_> i ' ve already think about what you say.But i launch disk cat on some linux OS and even on Win XP :  they didn't found any files  and not the directory
[17:50] <Mister_> all have dissapeard , but my usb key is now 395 Mo free and before the crash 40 Mo free maybe
[17:51] <EriC^^> oh ok
[17:51] <Mister_> thats why i tell you i lost 400 Mo datas
[17:52] <Mister_> main impotant files  are some kind of txt files ! You know txt files are not big files
[17:54] <Mister_> it's a big disaster for me !
[17:54] <Mister_> but go back to test disk
[17:54] <Mister_> i can see Partition FAT32  start  0 17 19 end 1018 123 6é
[17:55] <EriC^^> ok, press p
[17:55] <Mister_> what for ?
[17:56] <Mister_> give me 2 minutes to throw cat out of the room plase
[17:57] <EriC^^> lool
[17:59] <Mister_> ok EriC^^  , i am back and the cat is outside now
[18:00] <Mister_> you want me to press p ! Did i tell you my USB key has only one partition !
[18:01] <Mister_> ok p : list files
[18:01] <Mister_> i should see deleted files if they exist you mean EriC^^ ?
[18:01] <EriC^^> Mister_: yeah
[18:02] <EriC^^> they should show up in red
[18:02] <Mister_> ok i understand why you wanted to know if i remember deleted file names!
[18:02] <alphagene> hello, port 25 is open on my machine (nmap localhost). I runned netstat but I do not get any further information which program has opened that port. Do you have any tips?
[18:02] <alphagene> how to find the program
[18:03] <Pici> alphagene: sudo netstat -tanp | grep 25 will show you which process has that port open
[18:03] <EriC^^> Mister_: it should show you the dir that you deleted
[18:03] <Mister_> i 'll recognize them don't worry : before i must jump into ... into nothing cause directory has been deleted . i mean i only look for directory name
[18:04] <alphagene> hmm, curious, it says tcp6, what is this?
[18:04] <alphagene> @Pici
[18:04] <EriC^^> Mister_: actually i asked that to run the search
[18:04] <Mister_> EriC^^,  oh strange thing , some red file names apprears
[18:04] <EriC^^> Mister_: anyways, it should show you the deleted dir in red
[18:05] <Mister_> ok i can see some of them in root USB dir !
[18:05] <Pici> alphagene: because it is listening on your ipv6 address. The process name is on the far right.
[18:06] <Mister_> i look for application directory first  (existing dir)
[18:06] <alphagene> Pici, thanks a lot, my terminal window was too small to see. It says 'master'? what is this?
[18:06] <brad_> I'm running 14.04 LTS and my computer lags out when I watch streaming videos.
[18:06] <brad_> Is there a fix for this?
[18:06] <ioria> postfix
[18:07] <Pici> alphagene: as ioria says, its postfix
[18:07] <OerHeks> brad_, we need more details, specs of your machine? videocard?
[18:07] <Mister_> EriC^^,  what about locked directory ? sould they be visible?
[18:07] <brad_> 16 gb ram. graphics: Intel® Ivybridge Mobile. processor: Intel® Core™ i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.40GHz × 8
[18:08] <Amoz> brad_, what browser?
[18:08] <alphagene> I purged postfix, do you haveany idea what it could have caused? I do not run a mail server or any thing like that
[18:08] <OerHeks> Intel® Ivybridge Mobile, is that intel 3000 ?
[18:08] <linocisco> pdf printer for ubuntu please
[18:09] <MonkeyDust> linocisco  more details please
[18:09] <Mister_> ok founded
[18:09] <reisio> linocisco: probably already have one
[18:09] <brad_> Amoz firefox
[18:09] <linocisco> MonkeyDust, i want to print my document in pdf format
[18:09] <xxavi> hi
[18:09] <Amoz> linocisco, from Libreoffice?
[18:09] <reisio> linocisco: that's called saving or exporting
[18:09] <OerHeks> brad_, oh i found it, intel 4000. not a racemonster, but should be able to play 720p
[18:10] <reisio> don't ask me why it's sometimes called exporting, though
[18:10] <reisio> xxavi: hi
[18:10] <xxavi> I get this message: "Could not start process Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'webcals'.". Any idea ?
[18:10] <xxavi> reisio: hi
[18:10] <Mister_> EriC^^,  white log file appears in testdisk it said "npacking ../libsexy2_0....."
[18:10] <linocisco> reisio, Amoz yes
[18:10] <brad_> OerHeks, so it's expected that this will happen?
[18:10] <EriC^^> Mister_: hmm
[18:10] <alphagene> xxavi, kde perhaps?
[18:10] <xxavi> alphagene: yes
[18:10] <Amoz> brad_, what stream are you referring to?
[18:10] <Mister_> EriC^^,  found working deleed dir called SAMPLE in red
[18:11] <OerHeks> brad_, expected?
[18:11] <EriC^^> Mister_: did you find the dir that has the 400mb?
[18:11] <brad_> it's happened both on youtube and facebook
[18:11] <Mister_> yes ,
[18:11] <OerHeks> i just said 720p should do fine, do you play full hd?
[18:11] <Asta666> hello
[18:12] <Mister_> what do i do with red dir ?
[18:12] <OerHeks> brad_,  then try chrome browser with buildin pepperflash
[18:12] <reisio> Asta666: hi
[18:12] <alphagene> xxavi, install kinit kio kio-extras (sudo apt-get install...)
[18:12] <EriC^^> Mister_: ok press C over it
[18:12] <xxavi> alphagene: ok, I try it, thanks
[18:13] <alphagene> xxavi, no problem
[18:13] <Mister_> c to perform a copy i suppose !
[18:13] <EriC^^> Mister_: yes press c and then type the destination where to copy to
[18:13] <Mister_> ok now we must select destination dir i suppose. Lets select  system root dir
[18:13] <brad_> OerHeks it happened again in chrome
[18:14] <Mister_> ok path selected , must press Y i suppode
[18:14] <EriC^^> yes
[18:15] <Mister_> ok copying ...
[18:15] <Mister_> ok testdist , returns in disk dirctory list now
[18:16] <EriC^^> ok
[18:16] <EriC^^> press q a bunch of times til it quits
[18:16] <Mister_> oh no dirctory is empty
[18:17] <EriC^^> go back to testdisk
[18:17] <Mister_> ok still running
[18:17] <ioria> alphagene, you purged postfix ?
[18:18] <EriC^^> go to the dir thats red, press the right arrow
[18:18] <Mister_> do i press and go into delete dir ?
[18:18] <EriC^^> yeah
[18:18] <alphagene> ioria: Yeah, it isn't a bad thing, is it?
[18:18] <Mister_> ok inside deletesd dir i can see big red filename list
[18:19] <ioria> alphagene, and you have process master running ?   try ps -A | grep master and catch the id
[18:19] <Mister_> i press c on one file it said Copy one (green ink)
[18:19] <Mister_> let me check result
[18:19] <ioria> alphagene, then sudo ls -l /proc/(pid id)/exe
[18:19] <fontis> Hmm, anyone here running Elementary Freya? I'm just looking to see if it's worth "downgrading" from ubuntu gnome 15.04 to it. Or if it's just not worth the hassle
[18:20] <Mister_>  ok recovered this perticuliar  file it seems
[18:20] <daftykins> !elementary | fontis Sorry, no talk of it here.
[18:20] <alphagene> ioria, thanks a lot, but I do not have any process listen on that port, hope my machine is not going to explode
[18:20] <OerHeks> fontis, ask in their support room, you would get funny answers here :-D
[18:20] <fontis> I know
[18:20] <fontis> Which is exactly why I'm asking it here haha
[18:20] <fontis> I'm trying to get "our" perspective on the switch u see :P
[18:21] <daftykins> fontis: well the perspective is no Elementary chat here thanks
[18:21] <OerHeks> fontis, oke, we had a good laugh, now please keep this channel clear for ubuntu support, thanks
[18:21] <ioria> alphagene, the port is 25 is for mta .... you need the pid of 'master', then you can trace which program has lauched it
[18:22] <alphagene> ioria, thanks a lot I will trace it on another machine
[18:23] <ioria> alphagene, ok
[18:23] <dangoo87> hi there, I have an issue with sound, I have managed to get teamspeak to play through headphones, but that seems to be the only program that does.  I can play everything else through my monitor speakers, but when I try and set it up for my headphones, nothing but teamspeak plays through it. Anyone have any ideas?
[18:24] <EriC^^> Mister_: did you press C or c?
[18:24] <EriC^^> when you recovered the dir
[18:24] <Mister_> ok EriC^^  , i crash again cause of my antyvirus ! . I must check if the recoverd file is ok now.i mus see what it looks like
[18:24] <EriC^^> ok
[18:24] <TomyWork> can i downgrade firefox to 38.0 somehow? it's not listed as an available version on aptitude
[18:25] <TomyWork> the reason being that it cannot connect to a certain intranet server anymore
[18:25] <TomyWork> i use firefox pretty much only for that server
[18:25] <alphagene> TomyWork, have you configured the proxy settings
[18:25] <reisio> TomyWork: what's it say when you try?
[18:26] <no_gravity> Anybody here using Ubuntu with unity and a task bar? I wonder if I should install tint2 or conky.
[18:26] <daftykins> TomyWork: browsers should be kept up to date to remain secure online.
[18:26] <daftykins> TomyWork: is this down to SSLv3 certificate failure?
[18:26] <TomyWork>  SSL received a weak ephemeral Diffie-Hellman key in Server Key Exchange handshake message. (Error code: ssl_error_weak_server_ephemeral_dh_key)
[18:27] <TomyWork> alphagene no proxy needed. i tried disabling it entirely already, same error.
[18:27] <TomyWork> reisio see above
[18:27] <TomyWork> daftykins i dont use that browser for the internet, only that one intranet page on which it fails now
[18:27] <TomyWork> i use chromium for everything else
[18:28] <daftykins> that's nice
[18:29] <TomyWork> i tried adding the host to "security.tls.insecure_fallback_hosts" already and all the ciphers listed under about:config are enabled
[18:29] <alphagene> TomyWork, type about:config in the url  menu, and set these settings     security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes_128_sha
[18:29] <alphagene>     and security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes_256_sha to false
[18:30] <TomyWork> wouldnt that disable those ciphers?
[18:31] <TomyWork> oooh, that worked
[18:31] <TomyWork> thanks a lot
[18:31] <alphagene> TomyWork, no problem
[18:32] <nino> ciao
[18:32] <MonkeyDust> alphagene  that's so specific, how did you know?
[18:33] <alphagene> MonkeyDust, Google is awesome haha
[18:34] <TomyWork> yeah i think i found the same thing. i thought i had to set the to true to enable them
[18:34] <Mister_> EriC^^,  guess what ?
[18:34] <EriC^^> what?
[18:35] <Mister_> i did complete crash  ! I've just reboot all system .
[18:35] <ioria> the cat ?
[18:35] <Mister_> No the cat  not this time. It's Antivirus's fault i suppose
[18:35] <ioria> ok
[18:36] <Mister_> so i did sudo apt-get update , i must have text editor and  picture viewer to install now .before using testdisk
[18:36] <EriC^^> ok
[18:37] <TomyWork> i installed a package with dpkg -i, turns out i need some java package first that i cant get to right now. now i need to install something else and apt-get refuses to comply without fixing that unrelated package first.
[18:37] <Mister_> i put gedit but look for picture viewer EriC^^  now
[18:37] <daftykins> TomyWork: yeah so remove that one with dpkg -r
[18:37] <TomyWork> is there a way to do that or do i need to uninstall the broken package?
[18:37] <ioria> maybe purge it and install with apt ?
[18:37] <TomyWork> ioria it's not in the ubuntu repos
[18:37] <ioria> oh...
[18:37] <TomyWork> intellij community edition
[18:38] <ioria> i'd purge it anyway ... but it's me
[18:38] <Mister_> USB key plugged testdisk launched
[18:40] <Mister_> EriC^^,  and what about multi selection in testdisk?
[18:41] <TomyWork> oooh i found my java package
[18:41] <Mister_> ok 3 files recovered .Let me check them
[18:41] <ioria> TomyWork, the thing is that if you run apt-cache search intellij-*    you get result .... libgradle-plugins-java, i know that doesn't fit
[18:41] <EriC^^> Mister_: ok
[18:42] <Mister_> oh a whole sub-dir has been recover it seems !
[18:43] <TomyWork> ioria yup. gradle works with intellij, that's the relation. it's mentioned in the package's description
[18:44] <ioria> TomyWork, i see
[18:44] <Mister_> backing up all .ok successful text file
[18:44] <EriC^^> Mister_: ok, great, press c over the main dir, it should recover everything
[18:44] <fontis> I just got a random curious question, is anyone here running gnome 3.16 on 15.04?
[18:44] <EriC^^> ( c not C )
[18:44] <Mister_> i fear the worst ! But i try !
[18:45] <Mister_> copying ...
[18:45] <Mister_> copy done , lets check now
[18:45] <EriC^^> hmm that was quick
[18:45] <fontis> Cause the gnome3-staging ppa install seems to ruin my setup completely, throws me into endless chaos. Still not managed to cleanly install 3.16 on 15.04 :(
[18:45] <Mister_> ok 313 Mo recovered
[18:45] <EriC^^> nice
[18:46] <LordThumper> Hi
[18:46] <Mister_> ok the cat did the worst fear in my life. ok i know what i said...
[18:47] <OerHeks> fontis, PPA's happen to break, and unfortunately not supported here.
[18:47] <alphagene> Unity is really awesome if you disable that sidebar, clearly superior to gnome
[18:47] <OerHeks> fontis, ask next time who runs that staging ppa ;-)
[18:47] <LordThumper> I am trying to boot into a Ubuntu live cd.
[18:47] <LordThumper> I am on Windows 10 with fast boot enabled. Is it possible?
[18:47] <wileee> alphagene, unity runs on top gnome
[18:47] <Mister_> i said i'll give something to you : so do no change your nick in the future  .Cause i 'll need to contact you
[18:47] <OerHeks> LordThumper, most times not, fastboot prevents booting from media
[18:48] <no_gravity> I tried tint2 and did not like it. now i installed conky - how do i start it?
[18:48] <Mister_> just  let me time enough to find a subjet for your present , EriC^^
[18:48] <LordThumper> OerHeks: I see, I intend to install Ubuntu on a USB drive, and it is quite a hassle to disable fast boot each time I need to boot
[18:48] <EriC^^> Mister_: it's ok, none required :)
[18:48] <ioria> Eric^^ beer ?
[18:49] <EriC^^> sure
[18:49] <Mister_> a little game only for you (if you want)
[18:49] <alphagene> I mean the gnome shell
[18:49] <ioria> Mister_, a lifetime forniture of beer
[18:49] <wileee> alphagene, It's all gnome 3, yes we understand your like.
[18:50] <Mister_> let me translate ...
[18:50] <Mister_> let me translate ... My English is not ok.English is not my primary language you know
[18:51] <EriC^^> Mister_: it's ok, thanks anyways though :)
[18:51] <ioria> Mister_, a lifetime stock of beer
[18:51] <Mister_> he he !
[18:52] <reisio> nomnom
[18:53] <__raven_> hi
[18:53] <reisio> heyo
[18:53] <__raven_> how to disable a specific usb device in 14.04.3?
[18:54] <Mister_> Be back later 1 mounth less, to install Ubuntu MATE USB live (i already test) . Keep it  for a long time use (especially if Wine compatible)
[18:54] <reisio> __raven_: what for?
[18:54] <Mister_> ok tnx to all of you !
[18:55] <h4k1m> hi all
[18:55] <h4k1m> what's the vnc client/server recommended to use on ubuntu?
[18:55] <__raven_> reisio: cut the power of a device what sends broken messages on the hub
[18:55] <Mister_> Bye bye.
[18:55] <jackhum> I want to setup simple proxy in my 14.04 , earlier when i was using windows i used a sofware named proxifier , i usually entered my public ip and port 3128 , into it and it worked fine. How can i setup proxy in ubuntu
[18:56] <ioria> h4k1m, vino server is installed and vingagre is the client ... but you can choose
[18:56] <ioria> *vinagre
[18:56] <jackhum> i already googled but each blog mentions something like squid , can anyone tell me how can i configure proxy on my ubuntu
[18:56] <ioria> h4k1m, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers
[18:57] <ioria> h4k1m, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Clients
[18:57] <teward> jackhum: what do you mean by 'simple proxy' in this case?
[18:57] <h4k1m> ioria: thank you ^^
[18:58] <ioria> h4k1m, my advice is for x11vnc
[18:58] <TomyWork> how do i wireshark as non-root?
[18:58] <ioria> h4k1m, if the server is windows, then rdesktop
[18:58] <TomyWork> the group wireshark doesnt exist, so i cant give myself that
[18:58] <h4k1m> ioria: I didn't find anything for tigervnc on ubuntu, does it exist in the repos?
[18:59] <h4k1m> no windows is actually the client and ubuntu is the server
[18:59] <jackhum> teward: the proxy was really easy to setup , you know i am not very familiar with linux terminal env, right now
[18:59] <teward> jackhum: that wasn't my question
[18:59] <ioria> h4k1m, mmm... maybe not
[18:59] <ioria> !info tigervnc
[19:00] <EriC^^> TomyWork: setcap 'CAP_NET_RAW+eip CAP_NET_ADMIN+eip' /usr/bin/dumpcap
[19:00] <jackhum> teward: then what are you trying to ask ?>
[19:00] <teward> [2015-08-28 14:55:41] <jackhum> I want to setup simple proxy in my 14.04 , earlier when i was using windows i used a sofware named proxifier , i usually entered my public ip and port 3128 , into it and it worked fine. How can i setup proxy in ubuntu    <-- what do you mean by 'simple proxy'
[19:00] <h4k1m> ioria: I'm using rdp right now (on an Amazone EC2 server), I'm wondering if VNC is more efficient
[19:00] <teward> or proxy in this matter
[19:01] <h4k1m> I guess I need to try x11vnc
[19:01] <ioria> h4k1m, no clue, sorry
[19:01] <TomyWork> EriC^^ i found dpkg-reconfigure wireshark-common
[19:01] <jackhum> teward: my college has blocked some sites , and i want to access those site
[19:02] <mistralol> would somebody be able to help me with xsp4. I have an application that work sin 14.10 but not in 15.04. Under 15.04 every pages returns a 404 not found ....
[19:02] <MonkeyDust> jackhum  then ask to unblock them
[19:02] <teward> jackhum: ask them to unblock.  if they won't, then you may want a VPN rather than a proxy
[19:02] <teward> so you can connect through the college network to a remote server that then acts as your 'proxy' point
[19:02] <MonkeyDust> jackhum  how legal is what you want to do?
[19:02] <teward> (it also makes you look like the server, to the outside world)
[19:02] <teward> but also that's a valid question, the legality of what you're trying
[19:03] <jackhum> Its very legal , infact everyone in the college uses windows
[19:03] <h4k1m> ioria: thanks again for the links
[19:03] <ioria> h4k1m, no problem
[19:03] <alphagene> jackhum, I suggest using Tor
[19:03] <jackhum> the proxy is really easy to setup in windows , but i am getting a hell lot of trouble to setup it in ubuntu
[19:04] <MonkeyDust> jackhum  why are the sites blocked?
[19:04] <Johnny_Linux> jackhum  https://www.torproject.org/download/download-easy.html.en
[19:04] <alphagene> jackhum, what proxy settings are you meaning?
[19:04] <jackhum> alphagene: i tried tor , and it gets stuck  . on my ubuntu , on windows it is working fine
[19:04] <ioria> h4k1m, if you use vino, you could have some trouble during authentication with a win machine : use this (only on lan) : gsettings set org.gnome.Vino require-encryption false
[19:04] <ubuntu-mate> hello
[19:05] <ubuntu-mate> ping
[19:05] <jackhum> MonkeyDust: you wont believe , me these idiots have blocked every site which has hack word in it
[19:05] <ubuntu-mate> exit
[19:05] <jackhum> even irc clients dont work , i am using irccloud.com to talk to people here
[19:05] <h4k1m> ioria: I need to install vino first
[19:06] <alphagene> If you need to use a http proxy to circumvent your limitation, you can do that in the proxy settings in your browser. Tor works perfect in Linux, I am using it… (Go to the tor page and download the browser bundle) If you ned help just ask
[19:06] <ioria> h4k1m, no, it's installed by default.... go in dash and type vino
[19:06] <Bray90820> So this script I have here runs wether or not the network/destination drive is available
[19:06] <Bray90820> rsync -r -t -p -o -v --progress --delete --ignore-existing -s /data /media/aaron/backup
[19:06] <Bray90820> What I want is for it to check if the drive is available so it doesn't copy everything to my internal drive
[19:07] <jackhum> alphagene: i know , everyone in the world is using it , but i cant make it to work on ubuntu
[19:07] <ioria> h4k1m, it' s a server, not a client
[19:07] <TomyWork> i have a package that downloads stuff via https. for some reason dpkg knocks out https_proxy before running the package's downloader
[19:07] <TomyWork> what could that be?
[19:07] <TomyWork> http_proxy is also not what i entered
[19:07] <h4k1m> ioria: ok, so you would connect to it from windows using remote desktop as usual, right?
[19:08] <ioria> h4k1m, no.... you 'll need tightVNC...
[19:08] <jackhum> i just need to know what is the way of doing things on ubuntu , i know how to setup proxy on my windows , but on ubuntu i am failing really badliy
[19:08] <ioria> h4k1m, tightVNC viewer
[19:08] <TomyWork> ah, there was "Acquire::http::Proxy" in apt.conf but nothing for https
[19:08] <ed_> hi
[19:09] <h4k1m> ioria: I'll try it right now
[19:09] <ioria> h4k1m, you have to configure vino first... with passwd
[19:11] <TomyWork> man, next machine i'm gonna set up myself again... bloody admins
[19:12] <jackhum> teward: ?
[19:13] <TomyWork> basically took them 2 weeks to install stuff i dont need and now i have to figure out what they did in order to fix things up
[19:13] <h4k1m> ioria: ok I set the password with `vino-passwd` now how do I run it?
[19:13] <h4k1m> I mean to start the service...
[19:14] <jackhum> here's my question : http://askubuntu.com/questions/393912/how-to-set-https-proxy-in-privoxy , someone has already asked
[19:14] <ioria> h4k1m, to start it just press close...
[19:15] <ioria> h4k1m, to check   ps -A | grep vino      you should see   vino-server
[19:16] <alphagene> jackhum, what kind of proxy do you have?
[19:16] <jackhum> alphagene: i dont know , https ?
[19:17] <alphagene> Then just open your browser
[19:17] <alphagene> Goto preferences
[19:18] <alphagene> Advanced > Network > Settings... enter https proxy
[19:18] <TomyWork> how does one get an oracle jdk these days?
[19:18] <jackhum> alphagene: i already linked you a question , my problem is same , i know how to setup proxy in my windows , but in ubuntu i have no idea
[19:18] <espagnol> hi guys!, we speak english here right?
[19:18] <TomyWork> my old methods are failing
[19:18] <OerHeks> !java | see this page TomyWork
[19:19] <alphagene> TomyWork, openjdk-8... works perfect for me
[19:19] <Jordan_U> espagnol: Yes, though there are different Ubuntu support channels for many other languages as well.
[19:20] <asad2005> I tried upgrading to 15.10 beta and update-manager failed at package installation two packages failed one is modemmanager and nfs-common now i am stuck how can i undo the changes before i restart?
[19:20] <akik> TomyWork: search for oracle java archive
[19:20] <OerHeks> asad2005, ask in ubuntu+1 until 15.10 is released
[19:21] <jackhum> alphagene: no its not working that way
[19:21] <h4k1m> ioria: actually, what worked for me is `$ /usr/lib/vino/vino-server` to launch it... I verified that the service is listening on port 5900 using `netctl`
[19:21] <ioria> h4k1m,   ps -A | grep vino  ?
[19:21] <TomyWork> OerHeks i can't use a non-oracle jdk. this software is messy
[19:21] <alphagene> jackhum, are you trolling or are you serious? How does your proxy look like you have to configure?
[19:21] <h4k1m> ioria: yes its process is running
[19:22] <OerHeks> TomyWork, your solution is on that page too
[19:22] <jackhum> alphagene: my friend uses tor browser on his ubuntu , and it connects fine to the internet , but the strange thing is he use wine to run tor on ubuntu
[19:22] <ioria> h4k1m,   ok, if th client is a win machine i think that Remote Desktop it's not going to work ... so you need another client
[19:22] <jackhum> alphagene: nope , i am not trolling , i really hate switching to windows
[19:23] <alphagene> jackhum, okay no problem
[19:23] <jackhum> alphagene: do you know how to configure privoxy ?
[19:24]  * jackhum alphagene: i need alternative for this https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CB4QFjAAahUKEwikrsiuwMzHAhWEH44KHVdYCas&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.proxifier.com%2F&ei=QrXgVaSFL4S_uATXsKXYCg&usg=AFQjCNF4fzeE3FcVnBpuF2TTeTmfShM7dw&sig2=kmiKKB371Uf8c5f7W9MrWg
[19:24] <TomyWork> http://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7108196 resolution: Won't fix -_-
[19:24] <jackhum> oops sorry
[19:24] <OerHeks> TomyWork,  we do not care about oracle bugs :-D
[19:24] <TomyWork> OerHeks i.e. you didnt read it
[19:24] <akik> TomyWork: search for oracle java archive
[19:25] <TomyWork> akik they only have rpms and tar.gzs
[19:25] <TomyWork> no .deb
[19:25] <akik> TomyWork: so?
[19:25] <TomyWork> so i cant install things that depend on java
[19:25] <zagaza> hi guys, I asked this before but I haven't gotten any good answer.. is there any way to send encrypted emails without having to install keys on the reciever end? like, only the server encrypts the email and the reciever doesn't have to do anything.. is there such a thing?
[19:26] <TomyWork> unless i step into a snake pit of having more than one java
[19:26] <OerHeks> TomyWork, don't want too read that, and the wiki gives great solutions for installing oracle blobs
[19:26] <wad> Hey guys, trying to get a laptop working with Ubuntu. It's 14.04 64-bit desktop, with an NVidia 860m in it. It was working great, then an update nuked the video driver somehow. We've been trying to get it back, now it's totally hozed. :(
[19:26] <OerHeks> including howto select the java to use
[19:26] <TomyWork> OerHeks the webupd8 method?
[19:26] <wad> Can no longer CTRL-ALT-F1 to get a prompt even. It just hangs on boot.
[19:27] <TomyWork> that started failing at some point
[19:27] <TomyWork> and anyway i cant use anything past 7u40-ish
[19:27] <wad> We can get a recovery mode root shell prompt. Any ideas?
[19:27] <TomyWork> again, messy software
[19:27] <wad> At this point we just want to recover the ability to boot.
[19:31] <genii> wad: mount -o remount,rw /       ...then I suggest:  update-grub
[19:32] <wad> thanks. Right now we're just trying to get it to a read-write filesystem. :(
[19:32] <muhammaduxama12> hi
[19:33] <Nikesh> I have two laptops, both running 14.10 and Firefox 39, except that the one that should be faster (8GB RAM, 2.17ghz quad core) is terribly slow using Firefox and looking at htop, there is a lot of CPU usage (30-50% on all four cores sometimes).. where I can barely type into a text box. On the older machine (4GB RAM, i3) it is snappy. Any ideas as to why?
[19:34] <Jordan_U> Nikesh: Do both have proper GPU drivers installed?
[19:34] <reisio> muh-die-kuh: hi
[19:34] <Nikesh> Jordan_U: I had a feeling it could be that. I don't know. Can you point me how to check?
[19:35] <h4k1m> ioria: I was able to connect with the remote desktop control of windows as opposed to vncviewer (integrated to tightvnc).
[19:35] <ioria> h4k1m,   how ?
[19:35] <wad> Is there any way, from grub, to boot to a text terminal only?
[19:36] <wad> The hoarked graphics driver on this machine make it freeze on boot.
[19:36] <ioria> h4k1m,   win8 ?
[19:36] <h4k1m> ioria: using vnc any option (port 5900)
[19:36] <h4k1m> no windows 7
[19:36] <TomyWork> blah, add-apt-repository still doesnt work through a proxy
[19:36] <akik> wad: you can boot to single user mode by adding single to the end of kernel line
[19:36] <wad> ok
[19:36] <AEL-H> what is \u003cb? I am very confused. It looks Unicode-ish, does anyone know what this might be?
[19:37] <bekks> wad: And to text mode by replacing single with text.
[19:37] <wad> thanks
[19:37] <reisio> ϋ kewl
[19:38] <reisio> AEL-H: hit CTRL+SHIFT+u, then type 003cb, then ENTER
[19:38] <jhutchins> 003b
[19:39] <jhutchins> 003cb
[19:39] <AEL-H> xd
[19:39] <ioria> h4k1m,   good for you ... i don't find that option ...
[19:39] <jhutchins> Nope.
[19:39] <AEL-H> That is what I was expecting..
[19:39] <poppe> Hi all again :). i try to download sources for a kernel. "I get Invalid operation source" when I use apt source linux-image-3.19.0-26-generic" I dont know what is wrong. i looked at "man apt" and cant see the "source" option. newly installed lubuntu.
[19:39] <jhutchins> Then again, I'm on irssi over ssh from putty on Windows...
[19:39] <h4k1m> ioria: thanks a lot for the help (it's in the list of modules)
[19:39] <alphagene> poppe, apt-get source?
[19:39] <jhutchins> !source
[19:40] <jhutchins> When did apt as a command start being included?
[19:40] <alphagene> wow, I didn't know that apt was a command
[19:41] <OerHeks> poppe, ' sudo apt-get source linux-image-3.19.0-26-generic' work her
[19:41] <AEL-H> reisio: Nothing is happening?
[19:41] <alphagene> no root needed OarHeks
[19:41] <reisio> AEL-H: do it right and something will
[19:41] <ioria> h4k1m,  ok i got it ... it'a another program
[19:41] <AEL-H> reisio: What am I doing wrong ?
[19:42] <ioria> h4k1m,  no problem ... i thought you were using the default one  :-)
[19:42] <reisio> AEL-H: you either aren't doing what I said to do, or you're typing it into some strange window other than your IRC client, or you have zero fonts
[19:42] <reisio> or your system is configured to use some bizarre encoding, etc.
[19:42] <h4k1m> ioria: I have no idea it's my try on rdp and vnc
[19:42] <h4k1m> I'm used to teamviewer
[19:42] <ioria> h4k1m,  ok ^_^
[19:43] <AEL-H> ϋ
[19:43] <AEL-H> omfg lol
[19:43] <reisio> lawlz
[19:43] <reisio> you can actually type just the '3cb'
[19:43] <AEL-H> yeah I noticed the 0's weren't doing anything, why is this?
[19:43] <reisio> though the 0's are likely included in the official codepoint
[19:44] <reisio> 'cause they're leading 0's
[19:44] <AEL-H> ah of course
[19:44] <reisio> some kind GTK+ author decided to spare us the hassle of pointlessly tapping 0
[19:44]  * reisio splits for lunch
[19:44] <AEL-H> but what is the \u about
[19:45] <lucidguy> Is their a decent client for MS Lync on Linux?
[19:46] <wad> Yay, we got command prompt again! With network!
[19:47] <OerHeks> lucidguy, what does ms lync ?
[19:47] <wad> It still crashes on normal boot though.
[19:47] <jhutchins> lucidguy: I thought they deprecated lync in favor of Skype-for-Business.
[19:47] <jhutchins> lucidguy: Traditionally it's been difficult to interface with MS proprietary protocols like that...
[19:49] <espagnol> i cannot use my touchpad. Is there anybody that can help me?
[19:49] <lucidguy> jhutchins: In this office I access their "chat" via OWA.  I can now get my Exchange email via Thunderbird, that leaves my chat ability.
[19:49] <jhutchins> lucidguy: There appears to be a plugin for Pidgin.  Google link for linux and you should have enough to at least give it a try.
[19:49] <TomyWork> is there any reason why a modern OS like ubuntu 14.04 lacks hibernate, btw?
[19:50] <lucidguy> Pidgin .. jezz forgot about that
[19:50] <TomyWork> i know i can enable it, but shouldnt that be kind of a priority to fix and make stable and such?
[19:50] <jhutchins> TomyWork: Ubuntu can hibernate.  If you have a desktop install it might not be installed.
[19:50] <poppe> @ all: thanks!!! One more question if you can bear with me. I know I get a tarball. I get 4 files: .diff.gz (that is the patch i think) .orig.tar.gz (that is the version 0) the .dsc . and a folder linux-3.19.0 (is that the uncompressed tarball from the 0 version?)
[19:50] <MonkeyDust> TomyWork  yes, it should be easier, i agree   http://paste.ubuntu.com/12217167/
[19:51] <Smashcat> Hi, I've got an old 12.10 server that I need to copy all the files from to a NAS. The NAS has rsync, but the server seems to have a broken version of rsync (or they're not compatible) so it just falls over with an error after attempting to transfer the first file. Is there a newer binary for rsync I could use?
[19:51] <TomyWork> jhutchins you said "installed" is there a package?
[19:51] <espagnol> somebody can help me with my touchpad?
[19:51] <espagnol> it doesnt work at all.
[19:51] <TomyWork> or should i take the config file MonkeyDust posted?
[19:51] <bekks> Smashcat: Whats the rsync command you are using?
[19:51] <jhutchins> TomyWork: Not sure if the package is pm-utils or just hibernate, gnome power manager should interface with it.
[19:51] <Smashcat> (the server does have rsyncd running, but it's an old broken version)
[19:51] <TomyWork> using kde
[19:51] <ar> hi. where can i find usb image for installation from a pendrive?
[19:52] <Smashcat> rsync -vr username@192.168.1.250::video/Movies ./media/
[19:52] <TomyWork> pm-hibernate works fine, but it doesnt show up in the menus
[19:52] <espagnol> hi ar, what do you want to install?
[19:52] <MonkeyDust> ar  http://www.ubuntu.com/download/
[19:53] <bekks> Smashcat: "the server" is your NAS.
[19:53] <espagnol> if you are running Windows, you can download Lili Live Image Creator
[19:53] <MeatPopsicle> So is Ubuntu or Debian more privacy friendly (after disabling the amazon stuff of course)?
[19:53] <Smashcat> bekks: No, the server is the linux box. The NAS is the client, pulling the files across
[19:54] <bekks> Smashcat: So where are you typing in that command?
[19:54] <MoPac> Hello. I'd really like to take better advantage of my multitouch screen in Ubuntu. I'm wondering if there are any alternatives to, or good new controls for, ginn, which has never really worked for me.
[19:54] <espagnol> ar, it will automaticly download your image and makes your usb booteable
[19:54] <Smashcat> bekks: On the NAS - it also runs linux
[19:54] <alphagene> MeatPosicle, Ubuntu is just Debian that works
[19:54] <MoPac> I've started using Easystroke for press-and-hold-to-right-click, butI still can't find a way to, e.g., zoom/scroll with two points
[19:54] <bekks> Smashcat: So try running it on the linux box.
[19:55] <TomyWork> MonkeyDust thanks for that quick guide and sudo -e :)
[19:55] <AEL-H> reisio : Thank you for what you showed me, however, it was just unicode. I wrote it down wrong too, the b was seperate, \u003c is <
[19:55] <AEL-H> it was \u003cb\u003e --> "<b>". Thank you for the interesting aside though :)
[19:55] <TomyWork> very useful
[19:55] <TomyWork> going home now, finally
[19:55] <MonkeyDust> TomyWork  glad i could help
[19:56] <bekks> Smashcat: Since it is a linux box, you can just use the syntax user@host:/path/to/files/ since you have ssh access, too.
[19:56] <reisio> AEL-H: :p
[19:56] <Smashcat> bekks: Works on the linux box. I suspect the version of rsync is incompatible. I'll just use Samba to copy them over I think
[19:56] <bekks> Smashcat: Since it works on the linux box - why do you want to use samba?
[19:56] <ar> MonkeyDust: that takes me to an .iso image which is about as useful for installing onto a usb as xfs is useful for sharing data with windows users
[19:57] <Smashcat> bekks: Because I need to copy from the linux box to the NAS. Not from the linux box to the linux box
[19:57] <bekks> Smashcat: So please try what I suggested.
[19:57] <Smashcat> bekks: Samba is work, so it's all good now :)
[19:57] <Smashcat> *working
[19:58] <MonkeyDust> ar  it's a normal .iso to install ubuntu, everyone uses it, not sure what you mean
[19:58] <AEL-H> Guys, what do you reckon this is ?
[19:58] <AEL-H> "m_en_us1271970.001"
[19:58] <Smashcat> Looks like I need to leave my PC on for 8 hours to copy the files across between the boxes though :))
[19:58] <bekks> ar: dd if=file.iso of=/dev/yourusb
[19:58] <bekks> ar: Thats how "useful" it is.
[19:59] <ar> bekks: you sure? most iso images don't have the required isolinux/syslinux configuration for that
[19:59] <MonkeyDust> AEL-H  it's a line of context-less characters
[19:59] <bekks> ar: 1000% sure, using it for a long time like that.
[19:59] <bekks> ar: ubuntu isos are hybrid images.
[20:00] <ar> ok
[20:00] <Guest55596> compiz
[20:00] <safe_> When did synergy become priced? How else to crossplatform control both linux and windows?
[20:00] <poppe> does anyone know if I get a patched folder after downloading the kernel? I got a text file (stdout) from the event but dont really understand it.
[20:01] <Guest55596> ok sure
[20:02] <MonkeyDust> !info synergy | safe_ find it in the repos
[20:02] <poppe> I think i got it :)
[20:03] <safe_> MonkeyDust: it's paid software though, also on windows
[20:03] <safe_> MonkeyDust: it has always been free
[20:04] <MonkeyDust> safe_  i see no price in the software center
[20:05] <MonkeyDust> safe_  what makes you think it's paid?
[20:05] <wad> Still trying to get this laptop working again. Video drivers got messed up on an update. I can get to a shell prompt, with a rw filesystem. Any ideas on what to do now? The googles show me a bunch of different apt-get commands to try, but they result in "held packages" errors.
[20:06] <safe_> MonkeyDust: It says so on it's homepage, if i want to download it unto windows. Which i understand isn't directly ubuntu-related
[20:06] <wad> When it boots, it shows the "Ubuntu" purple screen, with some dots below it, then it immediately goes black and stays that way.
[20:06] <espagnol> disconnect
[20:07] <wad> We tried install the proprietary nvidia drivers, and tried installing the noeview drivers, and tried some commands to put the drivers back to the original (whatever that was, was working originally).
[20:07] <wad> Nothing works.
[20:07] <MonkeyDust> safe_  sudo apt install synergy does the trick
[20:08] <safe_> MonkeyDust: Cost money on windows (as far as i can tell) and looking for a free alternative
[20:08] <MonkeyDust> safe_  this is ubuntu support, i have no information about windows, ask in ##windows
[20:08] <safe_> MonkeyDust: I understand and i thank you for your help :)
[20:09] <bekks> wad: So you mixed up drivers, right?
[20:09] <wad> Yes, I'm sure they're quite mixed up right now. :(
[20:09] <bekks> wad: So uninstall all traces of your attempts then.
[20:10] <stanley_robertso> hi all
[20:10] <wad> bekks: We tried this:  sudo apt-get auroremove --purge nvidia-*
[20:10] <ablest1980> hi
[20:10] <wad> We now get "not installed, so not removed".
[20:10] <wad> Not sure what else to do for removing that...
[20:10] <bekks> wad: so check that using dpkg -l | grep nvidia
[20:10] <wad> bekks, empty.
[20:10] <wad> :)
[20:11] <wad> Doing the same thing for noveau.
[20:11] <bekks> wad: And how did you install the nvidia drivers?
[20:11] <wad> "apt-get install nvidia-current" I think.
[20:11] <Bashing-om> wad: Optimus ? is old install of BumbleBee a factor ?
[20:11] <bekks> wad: So you did not manually install them by downloading them from nvidia?
[20:12] <wad> The system got messed up due to a normal (gui) update.
[20:13] <bekks> wad: Which doesnt answer my question.
[20:13] <wad> The apt-get nvidia command was done *after* the system was messed up.
[20:13] <wad> Other than the apt-get, we didn't manually download and install any drivers.
[20:13] <wad> Not sure what optimus or bumblebee are...
[20:14] <bekks> wad: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HybridGraphics
[20:14]  * wad clicks
[20:14] <wad> This laptop has the nvidia 860n in it. There is also the video on the i7 chip.
[20:16] <daftykins> wad: pastebin of lspci would suffice. also 'n' isn't a thing
[20:18] <wad> daftykins, here it is: http://wadhome.org/~wad/lspci.txt
[20:18] <daftykins> sorry not looking at your home links :) http://paste.ubuntu.com
[20:19] <wad> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12217372/
[20:19] <wad> For obvious reasons, I'm not on that machine right now. So I just scp the file to my server.
[20:19] <daftykins> mmhmm nvidia 860M optimus setup
[20:20] <daftykins> "pastebinit" is ace in such circumstances
[20:20] <wad> Ah...
[20:20] <daftykins> wad: so what was this update you speak of?
[20:21] <daftykins> wad: also "dpkg -l | grep nvidia | pastebinit" and "dpkg -l | grep bumble | pastebinit" <-- that one should say trying to send blank document
[20:21] <wad> daftykins, the update the killed the box was a normal Ubuntu update.
[20:21] <daftykins> as in a single one, not a release upgrade?
[20:21] <wad> correct
[20:21] <daftykins> and this is what, 15.04?
[20:21] <wad> 14.04 64-bit desktop
[20:21] <Yesid> Hello....
[20:22] <wad> This is the LTS.
[20:22] <Yesid> Hello...!!!!
[20:23] <wad> Thanks for the ideas so far guys. Hopefully we can get this thing working again.
[20:23] <Bashing-om> Yesid: Hello. ubuntu support channel, you have a question ?
[20:24] <daftykins> wad: so can you create those pastebins? you'll need pastebinit installed first of course
[20:24] <Yesid> I would like to know how to format a USB to install Ubuntu...
[20:24] <wad> Oh, sure.
[20:24] <wad> Have to retype the commands over there.
[20:24] <dangoo87> I have downloaded a zip with an experimental driver for a HD game capture device from elgato.  I've extracted the files like so: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12217402/  - I'm not sure how to install it from here, I've tried ./configure etc. but that's clearly not the right answer. Any suggestions?
[20:24] <xangua> !usb | Yesid
[20:24] <wad> They are both empty, daftykins.
[20:25] <wad> We get a couple of entries for nouveau though.
[20:26] <daftykins> wad: that doesn't matter
[20:26] <wad> We're removing them anyway. :)
[20:26] <daftykins> wad: and what's your kernel on this machine?
[20:26] <daftykins> you already had done apparently
[20:26] <wad> pastebin: 12217434
[20:26] <daftykins> make it into a URL
[20:27] <wad> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12217434/
[20:27] <wad> That's the output of `uname -a`
[20:27] <Yesid> thank you.... I'll try
[20:28] <daftykins> wad: ok you're on an ancient kernel, so there's no point even fixing anything up until you're up to date. run a "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade"
[20:28] <wad> ok!
[20:28] <daftykins> thing is right now your desktop should be coming up fine with just the intel in use, is that not true? no X at all?
[20:28] <wad> Is that "apt" or "apt-get"?
[20:29] <daftykins> i typed it as i did on purpose
[20:29] <TheRealSol> Does anyone have a suggestion for a Launcher that I can use on a X server running on a Windows PC connected to a Ubuntu 15.04 desktop via SSH?
[20:29] <wad> k
[20:29] <wad> just checking.
[20:29] <wad> Commands are running.
[20:29] <alphagene> TheRealsol, dmenu, or what are you meaning with launcher?
[20:30] <dangoo87> !makefile
[20:30] <wad> daftykins, it insists that it's up to date. o_O
[20:31] <daftykins> wad: sudo apt install linux-generic && sudo apt full-upgrade
[20:31] <TheRealSol> basically a simple control that allows access to the apps via a GUI as opposed to constantly needing to use a shell to start apps
[20:31] <alphagene> TheRealSol, ah okay, dmenu is great
[20:33] <TheRealSol> alphagene: that looks like it will do the trick
[20:33] <dangoo87> Does anyone know how I can install the driver from this list of files?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/12217402/  There's no instructions in the readme
[20:35] <wad> `apt install linux-generic` did some stuff, but `apt full-upgrade` said it was up to date. Rebooting now.
[20:35] <bekks> dangoo87: Where did you get that driver from?
[20:35] <dangoo87> bekks, https://github.com/tolga9009/elgato-gchd
[20:35] <dangoo87> it's an experimental driver for an Elgato Game Capture HD device
[20:36] <daftykins> heh
[20:36] <wad> daftykins, okay, so the kernel is still 3.16.
[20:36] <dangoo87> based on videos published, it works, mostly, so I'm assuming it's the answer to 99% of my current problems
[20:37] <wad> It doesn't seem to be able to find anything newer.
[20:37] <ivan_> prog python africa
[20:37] <wad> On the ubuntu machine I'm typing this on (a working one), it's using 3.13.0-62-generic.
[20:38] <alphagene> dangoo87 insmod
[20:38] <Jordan_U> dangoo87: Try simply "make".
[20:38] <dangoo87> alphagene, "error missing file name" - do I need to put a filename after it? do you know which one?
[20:39] <bungle> hi - im looking for some help setting file permissions.  when setting with sudo chown and sudo chmod - the files revert back to original settings within a few seconds
[20:39] <dangoo87> Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12217558/
[20:39] <dangoo87> if only it was that easy :(
[20:40] <ivan_> ubuntu web server
[20:40] <ivan_> ^^
[20:40] <wad> I think we're just going to wipe the drive and reinstall.
[20:41] <daftykins> wad: use 14.04.3 media, that install isn't up to date
[20:41] <bungle> what could be changing the file permissions back?
[20:41] <alphagene> dangoo87 write the maintainer
[20:41] <daftykins> bungle: is it even a POSIX file system? perms won't change on FAT/NTFS
[20:42] <bekks> dangoo87: install clang first.
[20:42] <bungle> ive successfully changed them before though
[20:42] <bungle> ubuntu running on vm
[20:43] <bungle> the permission appears to change correctly, but then changes back within a few seconds - no errors thrown
[20:43] <dangoo87> bekks, installing now, then what?
[20:43] <bekks> dangoo87: run make again.
[20:43] <dangoo87> alphagene, I have literally no idea what that is, I'm trying to google but I'm not finding much info, will keep trying to understand that
[20:44] <dangoo87> ok, bekks thanks.
[20:45] <dangoo87> bekks, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12217617/
[20:45] <dangoo87> different error to last time (prior to clang)
[20:45] <bungle> the owner is also changing to root
[20:46] <bekks> dangoo87: Yeah, since now you have installed the missing clang compiler. Now it errors out on missing dependencies. You really have to ask the author.
[20:47] <dangoo87> I see, ok thanks bekks .  There are 2 files in the "Firmware"/ folder, but I think I should just speak to the author then at this stage.  Thanks for your help
[20:47] <OerHeks> bungle, it "cannot change back" to root, as you cannot change ntfs/fat32 permission, as it is not posix. so it never changed. mount it correctly.
[20:47] <TechMonger> hello people
[20:47] <wad> daftykins, thanks for the help, but he's left. Just gonna reinstall.
[20:47] <daftykins> bungle: http://paste.ubuntu.com <-- put there "ls -al" in the path and also "mount"
[20:48] <reisio> 'lo tech
[20:48] <daftykins> wad: "he" ? if we were doing proxy support, don't waste our time in future - make the person come here.
[20:48] <wad> He was sitting next to me.
[20:48] <TechMonger> i am trying to rsync files to and from a fat files system drive and some of the files i want to put on it are too large for the file system
[20:48] <TechMonger> can rsync skip those files?
[20:48] <bekks> TechMonger: No.
[20:48] <TechMonger> xp
[20:48] <daftykins> TechMonger: why not re-do it as exFAT?
[20:48] <wad> I'll pass on the tip on using up-to-date media though, for the reinstall.
[20:48] <TechMonger> i guess i have to
[20:48] <TechMonger> lol
[20:49] <TechMonger> its primaraly windows stuff
[20:49] <bungle> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12217647/
[20:49] <daftykins> bungle: funny there's one of two things i asked for there
[20:50] <TechMonger> i can skip the files if i copy and paste...
[20:50] <bungle>  sorry missed that one - http://paste.ubuntu.com/12217659/
[20:51] <bungle> i dont understand whats different because the server is running on a vm and ive changed file permissions successfully in the past without any issues?
[20:52] <bekks> bungle: Which command did you run?
[20:52] <bungle> to change the permissions?
[20:52] <bekks> bungle: Yes.
[20:52] <EriC^^> TechMonger: rsync has an --exclude feature
[20:53] <TechMonger> hmm
[20:53] <bekks> EriC^^: But that options works on filenames, not file sizes.
[20:53] <TechMonger> boom
[20:53] <TechMonger> lol
[20:53] <daftykins> bungle: maybe you should stop your web server just in case too
[20:53] <bungle> first i ran sudo chown -R www-data:ww-data /var....etc
[20:54] <bekks> bungle: "/var...etc" is too generic. State the exact path please.
[20:55] <bobsteve> Yo
[20:55] <bobsteve> How is it going today?
[20:55] <TechMonger> bueno
[20:55] <bungle> first > sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/crm/cache/modules
[20:56] <bekks> bungle: And which commands did you run after that?
[20:56] <bungle> then > sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/crm/cache/modules
[20:57] <bungle> then ls - l   and the owner shows as www-data...... but after a few seconds ls -l shows owner as root
[20:57] <daftykins> those aren't even wise permissions heh
[20:58] <bungle> no but they are needed temporarily while i upgrade suitecrm
[20:58] <bekks> bungle: The owner for symlinks is irrelevant.
[21:01] <bungle> i see - but the write permissions are also changing as well as owner.  what i dont understand is that ive done it this way before so something must have changed i guess
[21:01] <bekks> bungle: And which permissions arent correct now?
[21:02] <daftykins> obviously you've got an overriding process running
[21:02] <Nikesh> Can anyone help me look into whether I have the proper graphics card drivers installed? Here's the output for https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicsTroubleshootingProcedure --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12217750/
[21:03] <Nikesh> daftykins: Btw, I installed in legacy mode!
[21:03] <daftykins> what a whole bunch of spam
[21:03] <daftykins> just "lspci" would be good
[21:03] <bungle> sorry bekks i thought i understood what you meant about the symlinks owner being irrelevant - and was thinking even though thats the case the write permission should be
[21:04] <bungle> will try stopping the webserver temporarily daftykins
[21:06] <bungle> keeps reverting back even with apache stopped
[21:06] <bekks> bungle: So another process is still running.
[21:06] <daftykins> ^
[21:08] <bekks> bungle: This reverting of permissions - which permissions are set?
[21:11] <bungle> im trying to set permission of /var/www/crm/cache/modules/Users/Uservardefs.php to www-data:www-data with rights of 0775
[21:11] <bungle> and also some other files
[21:11] <Berry> Hey, quick question. I installed a Ubuntu startup disk on my flash drive. I use Unity 14,04 64 bit. The startup disk installed gnome.
[21:11] <Berry> Any reason?
[21:11] <bekks> bungle: Thats not an answer to my question.
[21:12] <bekks> Berry: Any reason for what?
[21:12] <Twirl> Berry: what did u expect?
[21:12] <Twirl> Berry: windows NT?
[21:12] <Berry> Twirl: Well, I run Ubuntu Unity, and it made gnome. I was expecting it to make Unity.
[21:12] <reisio> Berry: what makes you think it's not Unity?
[21:13] <Berry> reisio: Because my main computer is unity, and I know what gnome looks like
[21:13] <Twirl> Berry:  man, unity and gnome are not the same thing
[21:13] <Berry> Twirl: Hence my confusion
[21:13] <Twirl> Berry: nope, they both run on your machine, they are for different things
[21:13] <jeffreylevesque> how can i ensure upstart script starts every boot-up
[21:14] <bekks> Twirl: What different things are Unity and Gnome for?
[21:14] <Twirl> Berry: maybe u want KDE?
[21:14] <Berry> Twirl: Let me re-explain this. I am currently talking in this chat on a computer that is currently running Ubuntu Unity OS. We good on that part?
[21:14] <Berry> Twirl: Using "Startup Disk Creator", a default software, I made a boot disk on my flash drive for
[21:14] <bungle> sorry - not quite sure i understand then - the file has the permission set as rw-r-xr-x
[21:14] <Berry> Twirl: Ubuntu (sent too early)
[21:15] <Berry> Twirl: The ubuntu it installed on the disk, however, was gnome
[21:15] <Twirl> Berry: stop the nonsense man, unity and gnome are for different things
[21:15] <Berry> Twirl: I know they are
[21:15] <EriC^^> Berry: it depends on the .iso you used
[21:15] <bekks> Twirl: For WHICH different things are Unity and Gnome for?
[21:15] <bekks> Twirl: BOTH are desktop environments.
[21:16] <Berry> EriC^^: I used Startup Disk Creator, which uses the current OS that is running... which was Unity
[21:17] <Berry> Don't get me wrong guys, I want Gnome more. I am glad it made gnome, but I am completely baffled as to what on earth happened
[21:17] <Twirl> bekks: i thought he was talking about a different kind of gnome then :\
[21:17] <bungle> is that what you were asking?
[21:17] <Twirl> this will clear things up a bit http://askubuntu.com/questions/333237/difference-between-unity-and-gnome
[21:18] <Twirl> " theUnity shell and GNOME Shell (which are the only things that can be accurately compared)."
[21:18] <EriC^^> Berry: you made a live usb using gnome startup disk creator and it created one with unity? ( or vice versa?)
[21:18] <bekks> bungle: thats 466. Are you sure you didnt have a typo before running the correct command? :)
[21:19] <Berry> bekks: I used Startup Disk Creator while running Unity, and it made gnome
[21:19] <bekks> bungle: And did you ensure there is no other chmod process runing?
[21:19] <EriC^^> Berry: which .iso did you use?
[21:19] <bekks> Berry: I always used ISO files, not the startup disk creator.
[21:20] <Berry> I'm an idiot. I misread.... yes, I used a gnome iso
[21:20] <Berry> Well, that's the second time I made a fool of myself on this irc in two days
[21:20] <Berry> RIP my reputation
[21:20] <daftykins> you didn't have one :)
[21:20] <Berry> ;(
[21:22] <paulsen> hi, I have a problem with my Ubuntu 14.04 install: Night before last, I ran apt update which installed some generic ubuntu base update, something related to SMB/WINS I think, and some encryption stuff(?). Yesterday, when I booted up, I logged in but Unity doesn't start properly.
[21:22] <paulsen> I tried with unity tweak tool to reset unity, that didn't work
[21:22] <bekks> paulsen: so what exactly did it do?
[21:22] <Berry> paulsen: What do you mean "not properly"?
[21:23] <Twirl> everyone, listen up! berry is a noob!
[21:23] <Twirl> Berry: there u go
[21:23] <bekks> Twirl: You too.
[21:23] <Berry> Twirl: It's true. I so far have trashed two hard drives by using bad commands, at one point chmodding all of "/" to a user that didn't exist because I mistyped the user
[21:23] <bungle> sorry - i think its set as 665 and im trying to set it as 775 - no typo :-)  tried after a reboot - but will check no chmods in queue
[21:24] <paulsen> I see the desktop itself, and that's all. The sidebar isn't loaded up, and the windows I open (by adding shortcuts on the desktop) doesn't have the menubar and icons
[21:24] <bekks> bungle: You "think" its 665?
[21:24] <Twirl> bekks: well i've been using ubuntu for a couple of years now
[21:24] <Twirl> Berry: congrats man
[21:24] <bekks> Twirl: And you didnt know that Gnome is a desktop environment. :)
[21:24] <paulsen> Right now I have booted on live usb to hopefully get it working again, somehow
[21:25] <Twirl> bekks: i already proved i was right,

[21:30] <Jordan_U> Syg: Does "ping 8.8.8.8" succeed or fail?
[21:30] <Syg> i can't ping 8.8.8.8, irc.freenode.net, google.com, netflix.com, nothing
[21:30] <Syg> Jordan_U, no

[21:32] <Syg> can get on skype, aim, jabber
[21:32] <paulsen> ping might be blocked by a firewall?

[21:33] <Syg> Jordan_U, i've had this issue before while other machines worked fine
[21:33] <Syg> also issues with the wifi being super weak at 2 feet from the router
[21:33] <Syg> i think it's an os issue

[21:40] <wileee> Nikesh, means nothing in this context.
[21:40] <bekks> bungle: File permissions of 777 for non-temporary files are the most wrong thing to do.
[21:40] <paulsen> I take it formatting is my only option :/
[21:40] <bungle> it needs the permissions 775 just for the installation
[21:41] <bekks> bungle: Whats the exact message of the installer regarding "wrong" permissions?
[21:41] <Nikesh> wileee: I don't understand. Do I need to install 14.04 to be able to get help on this?
[21:41] <Wader8> oops ... sorry guys i have two identical USBs and used the wrong one :facepalm:
[21:41] <bekks> Nikesh: Either 14.04 or 15.04
[21:42] <daftykins> Nikesh: are you seriously saying after all this drama you were using 14.10? :(
[21:42] <wileee> Nikesh, You need a supported release, look in the chanel header they are shown
[21:42] <alphagene> ;q!
[21:43] <kookaburra-bg> hi
[21:43] <Nikesh> daftykins: I had 14.04, was having graphics problems, so I thought I'd try throwing on 14.10. Then I had problems installing. Now I have 14.10 but still this high CPU load.. so here I go again in a circle :P
[21:43] <wileee> Nikesh, Also comparing the two computers is a waste of time, it has no value, address the one that is the issue.
[21:43] <Bray90820> I have a script here that checks to see if a drive is mounted and tells you if it is or not what I want is a second drive added to the script
[21:43] <Bray90820> http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=pRxLpPjC
[21:43] <Bashing-om> paulsen: (RE-)install is the nuclear solution. rarely advised . Need to determine if this is a config issue with unity, or a graphics issue with the desktop . What exactly happens when booting up and expecting to see the desktop ?
[21:43] <Nikesh> wileee: I see. I'm just trying to illustrate my point that what should be a smooth experience is not
[21:44] <Nikesh> In any case, if in order to address this I need to be on 15/14.04, then I'll come back with that..
[21:44] <wileee> Nikesh, your point has no measurable in the real world value is all, this is facts, not it seems like this is happening.. ;)
[21:45] <mac1986> ello
[21:45] <sudormrf> how is the 4k scaling coming along in 15.10?
[21:45] <mac1986> help with irssi?
[21:45] <Syg> Jordan_U, any ideas?
[21:45] <bungle> will have to run the installer to get exact message, but basically there is a check process that runs and then it says 'view files with bad permissions' and lists the files with permissions 0655
[21:45] <Syg> someone suggested checking sel
[21:45] <paulsen> Bashing-om: I (re)boot and come to the login screen. Then I log in, and nothing more really happens. The expected unity bar(?) as well as the top menu bar never loads. I can create shortcuts on the desktop, that's about it. The shortcuts I made are so I can open a file browser and a terminal window.
[21:46] <enitiz> Hi. Is there any way to improve audio? Music goes a bit muffled in my laptop.
[21:46] <Bashing-om> mac1986: There is a dedicated channel for irssi; #irssi ; you may get better results there .
[21:46] <mac1986> thank you!
[21:48] <Bashing-om> paulsen: Now that sounds more like a graphics driver issue, Proprietary driver installed, and in the update process that driver got broke ?
[21:48] <Kermit_> anyone on?
[21:49] <lickalott> hey guys, I just installed 15.04 and I've noticed that my cursor disappears when I go to the top of the screen.  Is there a fix for this or just live with it?
[21:49] <paulsen> Bashing-om: That might be the problem, but there hasn't been any updates to it, to my knowledge. Is it supposed to actually say "nvidia driver" or similar in the update list?
[21:49] <bekks> Kermit_: Anyone on what?
[21:50] <ningu> hi, I have a very general question so please lmk if you need more info. I'd like to be able to run an ubuntu vm on a new windows laptop and am wondering about hardware requirements. am I right that (1) ram is the main requirement, (2) 8GB is probaby enough to run a commandline-only ubuntu vm?
[21:50] <ningu> that is, 8GB on the laptop; not sure how much I'd have to dedicate to the vm.
[21:50] <Kermit_> Hey! I am trying to install Ubuntu 15.04 on my Dell Inspiron and it says that it dosen't finds the kernel. HALP!
[21:50] <Syg> can anyone help me figure out why my ubuntu can't ping 8.8.8.8 but can be in this channel?
[21:51] <daftykins> ningu: i'd run 3 desktop VMs with 2GB RAM allocated each atop that just fine.
[21:51] <reisio> ningu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements
[21:51] <reisio> ningu: it's something like 6.7GB for plain Ubuntu
[21:51] <ningu> daftykins: hehe ok. cool.
[21:51] <Bashing-om> paulsen: IF you are running a proprietary driver - built from the old kernel - then when a new kernel is installed, that driver is broke . Is this a likelu situation ? Should we try: purge and re-install the graphics driver ?
[21:51] <daftykins> Syg: if things work, what's the point?
[21:51] <daftykins> 8.8.8.8 is google DNS, pinging it isn't necessary
[21:51] <Bashing-om> likely *
[21:51] <ningu> reisio: you mean storage or ram?
[21:51] <reisio> ningu: storage
[21:51] <Syg> daftykins, because i can't ping anything
[21:51] <reisio> ningu: ram is not an issue
[21:52] <ningu> reisio: oh, I am not worried about storage
[21:52] <ningu> ok
[21:52] <Syg> 8.8.8.8 was just a bulletproof control
[21:52] <paulsen> Bashing-om: That seems like a plausible next step. What do I need to do then?
[21:52] <reisio> ningu: it'll work with any amount of ram you give it, but it'll work better the more you give it
[21:52] <ningu> yes, but keep in mind windows will also be running and if windows is taking most of the ram up then ubuntu's 1gb or 2gb of ram will induce swapping
[21:52] <reisio> swapping is normal
[21:52] <Syg> can anyone help me figure out why my ubuntu can't ping any server outside my network but can be in this channel?
[21:53] <reisio> to put it into perspective, I used to virtualize OSes with less than a gig of ram for the entire host
[21:53] <ningu> that may be, but I'd like to not thrash too much... but this laptop will have an ssd so maybe that won't be a big deal, I dunno
[21:53] <reisio> it's not an issue
[21:53] <daftykins> Syg: what system?
[21:53] <reisio> ningu: nah
[21:53] <reisio> you'll probably replace the computer before the ssd gives out
[21:53] <ningu> I am talking about speed really, not failure
[21:53] <Bashing-om> paulsen: K; lets look at the hardware, see what driver is required . ' sudo ubuntu-drivers devices ; sudo ubuntu-drivers list ' These commands are valid for 14.04 + ,
[21:53] <Syg> daftykins, 15.04
[21:53] <reisio> moreover if you worry about writes on an ssd, you kind of nullify the point of having them
[21:54] <reisio> ningu: as it relates to... swapping?
[21:54] <daftykins> Syg: desktop or server?
[21:54] <Syg> daftykins, desktop
[21:54] <daftykins> Syg: and behind a home router? are you saying you can't reach websites?
[21:54] <paulsen> Bashing-om: I know I have an nvidia NVS3100M card
[21:54] <Syg> daftykins, yes, no websites, behind verizon quantum fios router
[21:55] <ningu> reisio: yes. in my experience windows and os x can both nearly grind to a halt if they don't have enough ram, so I just want to be sure I won't be dragging the whole machine down with the vm. it isn't really a question of how much ubuntu needs but how much windows needs
[21:55] <Syg> daftykins, laptop right next to this one hardwired to the same router/modem works FINE pings and can visit anything
[21:55] <ningu> maybe I am in the wrong channel ;)
[21:55] <paulsen> Bashing-om: There are 4 options listed; nvidia-304, nvidia-331-updates, nvidia-304-updates, nvidia-331
[21:56] <ningu> I have a friend with an old (3-4 years) laptop that he recently 'upgraded' to win 10 and the whole machine is apparently much slower. just trying to avoid that sort of situation.
[21:57] <ningu> I assume it's due to increased ram requirements rather than win 10 being lousy but who knows :)
[21:57] <bcooke1> I need help
[21:57] <ningu> we all need help
[21:58] <Bashing-om> paulsen: Never heard of that one . Do you know how to use pastebin ? I get some additional info from you and do the research to see what we are going to do // 331 driver goes back a ways .
[21:58] <daftykins> Syg: share a full "route -n" and "ip a" on http://paste.ubuntu.com
[21:58] <paulsen> Bashing-om: You want the entire output from the above commands?
[21:58] <paulsen> or rather, the first one.
[21:58] <Syg> daftykins, i can't get to paste.ubuntu.com to do that...
[21:58] <reisio> ningu: 8GB is on the order of 4-8 times more RAM than you need
[21:58] <Syg> i guess i can use a thumbdrive :/
[21:59] <daftykins> Syg: i know. you're going to type it out.
[21:59] <reisio> ningu: I'd leave half for the host, unless you're using the guest for some kind of low-intensity idle processing
[21:59] <Syg> can you get me the ip for paste.ubuntu.com?
[21:59] <Syg> that might connect
[21:59] <reisio> then you can give the guest even less and not care
[21:59] <Syg> seeing as i'm on irc
[21:59] <ningu> reisio: ok cool. thanks
[21:59] <daftykins> Syg: no, you have two systems, do some work.
[21:59] <Bashing-om> paulsen: O "thinl" the 1st will give me the relevant info to do the loo;n about .. That ole of a card, not sure . can try and see what ' sudo ubuntu-drivers devices ' relates .
[21:59] <reisio> anyway, ram won't be an issue :)
[22:00] <reisio> you can possibly save some storage space by starting with a lighter variety of Ubuntu
[22:00] <reisio> xubuntu, lubuntu, server
[22:00] <Bashing-om> "think"*
[22:00] <bxx> When requiring more privileges, I got an 'Authentication required' window asking for 'Administrator' password instead of mine.
[22:00] <bxx> What is the application responsible for this ? Of course 'Administrator' does not exists, and authentication fails:
[22:00] <bxx> polkit-agent-helper-1[2074]: pam_unix(polkit-1:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=1000 euid=0 tty= ruser=root rhost=  user=root
[22:00] <bxx> Also even by setting a root password and typing it, authentication always fails
[22:00] <ningu> reisio: yeah, I've run ubuntu on very small amounts of ram before, with decent success. I'll look into those distros
[22:00] <paulsen> Bashing-om: http://pastebin.com/50q1uHsY
[22:01] <ningu> basically all I need is perl, python, build-essential, basic unix utils, some perl and python modules
[22:01] <Bashing-om> paulsen: Look'n at your http://pastebin.com/50q1uHsY . Be back soonest .
[22:02] <bcooke1> I've got a question about mirroring a root disk
[22:02] <ningu> cygwin is another option but a real ubuntu install is preferable for various reasons
[22:03] <daftykins> ningu: so... get to it?
[22:04] <ningu> daftykins: hehe I will, still need to order the laptop(s) for work, basically just wanted to sanity check the specs
[22:05] <Wader8> hello
[22:05] <bcooke1> exit
[22:06] <ningu> one of our employees wants to just use ubuntu and we're getting a system76 laptop, I'm curious how that will turn out
[22:06] <Wader8> Ubuntu doesn't boot and causes my PC to go into emergency shutdown
[22:06] <Wader8> this is just weird
[22:07] <Wader8> I have win10 and linux mint installed on the HDD i want to install Ubuntu over the Linux Mint
[22:07] <reisio> ningu: should turn out nicely for them
[22:07] <Hootch> Wader8: make a clean install and be happy
[22:08] <lickalott> hey guys, I just installed 15.04 and I've noticed that my cursor disappears when I go to the top of the screen.  Is there a fix for this or just live with it?
[22:08] <Wader8> Hootch it doesn't boot
[22:08] <Wader8> from the USB
[22:08] <Bashing-om> paulsen: Nvidia recommends the 340 version driver ( huh ?) / Let's try this ' sudo apt-get purge nvidia* ; sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' See what the package manager recommends . And install the driver .
[22:08] <Hootch> Wader8: bios boot options checked?
[22:09] <Wader8> black screen, then I reset the PC, and then the PC reset itself again (usually that's a overclocking failsafe)
[22:09] <jdvs> i'm having an issue getting any package to install: http://pastie.org/pastes/10382455/text
[22:09] <paulsen> Bashing-om: I take it I have to boot back to normal to do that? I'm on live usb now you see
[22:09] <jdvs> how can i fix that?
[22:10] <Wader8> Hootch this is after ubuntu boot screen, i tried the live and installer option, nothing
[22:10] <Hootch> Wader8: can you make a new usb image or boot a dvd?
[22:10] <Bashing-om> paulsen: Yeah, ya want to do this from the install . You can get a console @login screen ( ctl+alt+F1 ) .. yes ?
[22:11] <Wader8> hootch well i'll try on a DVD then
[22:11] <paulsen> Bashing-om: yes, but I can also launch a terminal from a desktop shortcut I made, hehe. I'll reboot and come back in here!
[22:11] <Wader8> I just need to get ZFS running for my backup archival HDD
[22:12] <Bashing-om> paulsen: Good deal. I await the result .
[22:12] <Wader8> i wanted to try FreeBSD but i'm not sure why is memstick and DVD images so varying in size, the download is slow, I cancelled the DVD download as it's going super slow
[22:13] <daftykins> Wader8: single HDD? :P
[22:15] <quinnwizard> howdy all :)
[22:16] <Wader8> daftykins yes
[22:16] <daftykins> Wader8: that's ridiculous :)
[22:16] <paulsen> alright, let's see what happens..
[22:16] <Hootch> Wader8: for all this things - relax, make a tea etc., relax
[22:16] <Wader8> well i have a lot of HDDs but when I go into win10 or linux mint i use a separate HDD
[22:16] <Wader8> I use Win7 mainly which is on a SSD
[22:16] <Wader8> and I hoped I could use ZFS file system for my new 2TB WD Green i just got today
[22:17] <daftykins> oh dear not a green
[22:17] <daftykins> ZFS on single disk seems pointless
[22:17] <paulsen> Bashing-om: it seems to be 340 it wants now yeah =)
[22:17] <ningu> hmm... I thought ZFS had features that made it attractive even on single disks but I have no idea
[22:20] <Wader8> brb restarting router
[22:22] <paulsen> Bashing-om: it installed, I rebooted. It didn't work (so far at least)

[22:23] <mzgnr> Hi everyone. I bought a macbook air 2015. I know that this is ubuntu channel but I want to know your experience for macbook air.
[22:23] <supusr> anyone know anything about point linux?  Reliable?  Supported?  Secure?
[22:23] <ningu> what experience?
[22:23] <mzgnr> Installation, dualt booting, driver issues ningu
[22:24] <k1l> supusr: ask in ##linux if its not an official ubuntu version
[22:24] <supusr> ok
[22:24] <ningu> iirc there are wiki pages on installing ubuntu on apple hardware
[22:24] <ningu> for example https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookAir
[22:25] <mzgnr> I know there are wiki pages. I've been arch user :) But It might be useful to know experience
[22:25] <Wader8_> back
[22:27] <Bashing-om> paulsen: Shucks, OK .. Lry's see what the system says when we re-configure unity . Do in terminal ' sudo service lightdm stop ; sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm ; sudo dpkg-reconfigure unity-greeter ; sudo service lightdm start ' Does the desk top start ?
[22:29] <Wader8_> anything bad using one disk with ZFS ?
[22:29] <Wader8_> you guys think it's unneded ?
[22:30] <paulsen_> Bashing-om: just ran it, still no joy :/
[22:31] <Bashing-om> paulsen_: well.. next is ' rm ~/.dmrc ' (again) see if that has a positive result when rebooted .
[22:32] <paulsen_> Bashing-om: there's no such file
[22:33] <Bashing-om> paulsen_: Strange ( file should exist as you have rebooted) . Think'n .
[22:34] <Bashing-om> paulsen_: Let's run ' sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop ' see if now the desk top will start .
[22:35] <paulsen_> Bashing-om: I assume a reboot is necessary after that too?
[22:35] <Bashing-om> paulsen_: Yeah .. Let's reboot to make sure the change propagates.
[22:35] <paulsen_> brb
[22:37] <zorkata> I installed my ubuntu but I have Windows 7 why my pics displays which operating system to let the restart and how to fix it
[22:37] <the_coun1> Bashing-om: Back... All seems in working order now except for two/three finger clicks, two finger scroll, etc...
[22:38] <zorkata> help me
[22:38] <daftykins> zorkata: be patient, your question doesn't make much sense in English
[22:39] <paulsen> Bashing-om: Damn it, that didn't work either
[22:42] <the_count> Bashing-om: I was disconnected in case you responded.

[22:43] <daftykins> zorkata: ^
[22:44] <macbash_> channel to help me with irssi suggestions?
[22:44] <daftykins> what?
[22:45] <Bashing-om> paulsen: OK. last thing I know to try ' dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ ; unity --reset-icons ; setsid unity ' . See what results . ( mauy have to install dconf ) .
[22:45] <EriC^^> paulsen: what's up?
[22:45] <zorkata> with Windows 7 but you've installed and ubuntu
[22:46] <zorkata> but restart not show me which OS to ask
[22:46] <Bashing-om> the_count: "xserver-xorg-input-synaptics" installed completely ?
[22:46] <the_count> macbash_ THere is #irssi, or as first resort, irssi.org
[22:46] <daftykins> zorkata: you don't make any sense.
[22:46] <the_count> Bashing-om: It said that it was the newest version
[22:47] <EriC^^> zorkata: sometimes ubuntu doesn't pick up windows and you have to add it manually
[22:47] <Bashing-om> the_count: 'dpkg -l xserver-xorg-input-synaptics ' comes back with "ii" as the status ?
[22:48] <the_count> Bashing-om: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12218572/
[22:48] <zorkata> how to add
[22:49] <the_count> zorkata: What os is it booting into?
[22:49] <EriC^^> zorkata: try sudo update-grub first
[22:49] <Bashing-om> the_count: Yepper, it is installed. If now you have touch pad issues, Beyond my knowledge to assist further .
[22:50] <the_count> Bashing-om: Thank you, and would you reccomend anyone to ask?
[22:52] <Bashing-om> the_count: No, I can make no recommendation as I do not know any who have experience with a touch pad / Reprase the question and ask of the channel in general .
[22:53] <the_count> Bashing-om: Ok, thank you Sir, and have a good day!
[22:53] <Bashing-om> the_count: :) People such as yourself make it so .
[22:53] <the_count> BAshing-om: Good, have a good one. :D
[22:55] <billp> hi, is there a way to get rid of the overlay that pops up in ubuntu gnome when the screen times out - I have tried disabling all lock screens but ...
[22:56] <paulsen> Bashing-om: I tried your last command, it gave some output but was hanging for a really long time at a point, several minutes went by. I hit Ctrl+C and it says something along the lines of "dconf connection refused"
[22:56] <paulsen> Bashing-om: I  assume that is an error ouput when interrupting the job
[22:57] <the_count> Bashing-om: Ok, the settings I had entered before upon install had been overwritten, so I will have to add them again. :D
[22:58] <dresuer> Hi all!
[22:58] <EriC^^> paulsen: login loop?
[22:58] <EriC^^> no desktop icons?
[22:58] <paulsen> EriC^^: no, unity doesn't work. I login, and unity doesn't start/work.
[22:58] <EriC^^> does it work with the guest account?
[22:58] <paulsen> I'll give it a try, gotta reboot tho
[22:59] <EriC^^> ok
[23:00] <Bashing-om> PaulCapestany: At this point, might be of benifit to update and clean the system up, Then see what state the package manager is in .
[23:01] <paulsen> EriC^^: I'm in the guest account now, and it works just fine here
[23:01] <leverquin_> hello  i just broke my system settings. first icon on left vanished second when i try to click on system setting on top right corner won't open. i am on 14.04
[23:01] <EriC^^> paulsen: ok, it's a user config issue then
[23:02] <EriC^^> paulsen: press ctrl+alt+f1, login, and type rm -r .compiz , then press alt+f7 to get back here, try to login to your user from the top right corner
[23:03] <EriC^^> paulsen: if it doesn't work,
[23:03] <dresuer> I've a big problem with all distributions of GNU/Linux. No matter what distribution I using. When I connect my Ethernet cable, after a seconds my machine reset.
[23:03] <dresuer> Why!?
[23:03] <EriC^^> you can always type sudo service lightdm restart in ctrl+alt+f1 to reset the login screen
[23:04] <Smashcat> Dresuer: Probably a hardware incompatibility problem
[23:04] <MonkeyDust> dresuer  this is ubuntu support, type /j #linux for general linux support
[23:04] <EriC^^> paulsen: also type rm -r ~/.config/compiz-1
[23:06] <Yuken> How exactly would I allow all workspaces to be displayed at once?
[23:07] <paulsen_> EriC^^: just tried removing .compiz - it didn't work either
[23:08] <EriC^^> paulsen_: try ~/.config/compiz-1 and later ~/.config or ~/.gconf
[23:08] <paulsen_> EriC^^: hehe, I'll give them all a try
[23:08] <EriC^^> paulsen_: try mv ~/.config ~/.config.old
[23:09] <Bashing-om> paulsen: EriC^^ Permissions in /home ?

[23:16] <Guest33135> how to fix it
[23:16] <EriC^^> Bashing-om: i don't think he has problems removing them

[23:17] <Emulator> is this place where to look for ubuntu, xubuntu help? :)
[23:18] <EriC^^> Bashing-om: i think he was talking about unity not working still
[23:18] <Bashing-om> EriC^^: Naw, do not think you missed anything.  Seems I am reading more into it "  EriC^^: just tried removing .compiz - it didn't work either " .
[23:20] <Emulator> i hope this is right place. well i want to install xubuntu alongside with windows. problem is that xubuntu dont see hdd on my system, there is no error or anything just gparted scaning my pc for 5min now
[23:22] <Bashing-om> Emulator: UEFI system, and did you boot up in CCSM mode ?
[23:22] <MonkeyDust> Emulator  are you in ubuntu now, a live session?
[23:22] <EriC^^> Emulator: sometimes stray gpt confuse the installer, grab your disk's name from sudo parted -l, and type sudo fixparts /dev/sdX
[23:22] <Emulator> im on live usb. and im not sure if i have uefi
[23:23] <MonkeyDust> Emulator  what's the outcdome of   lsblk   <-- use a pastebin
[23:26] <Emulator> MonkeyDust, hers the paste http://pastebin.com/0h49JiGL
[23:28] <Emulator> MonkeyDust, it seems like it detect drive this way but why gparted failing?
[23:28] <EriC^^> Emulator: try sudo parted -l
[23:30] <Emulator> now console thinking long
[23:30] <Emulator> terminal that is
[23:30] <EriC^^> ok, try sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
[23:32] <Emulator> Cannot open /dev/sda
[23:32] <Emulator> weird
[23:33] <MonkeyDust> Emulator  with sudo
[23:34] <Emulator> nop, it stuck again
[23:34] <EriC^^> Emulator: try sudo blkid -p /dev/sda
[23:34] <OneM_Industries> I am attempting to set up a pair of bluetooth headphones, but they will not play sound. I cannot find them in the sound settings, and I am not sure what I would need to do to get them to work.
[23:35] <OneM_Industries> They show up under bluetooth devices, but that is it. I am not sure if I have the stream2ip package, as it is not showing up in the Synaptic Package Manager.
[23:36] <Emulator> and that do nothing too. well i guess i need to check bios to make sure thers everything like should be
[23:36] <Emulator> tnx for trying to help guys
[23:37] <EriC^^> Emulator: give sudo fixparts /dev/sda a shot
[23:37] <OneM_Industries> And now, oddly enough, they will connect, then disconnect after a couple of seconds.
[23:38] <OneM_Industries> Repairing them with the computer does not help.
[23:38] <Emulator> EriC^^, how long it should take?
[23:38] <MonkeyDust> OneM_Industries  in a terminal type this, do you see anything disturbing   alsamixer
[23:38] <EriC^^> almost instantly
[23:38] <Saku9> hey guys, can anyone help me, for some reason ctrl + left mouse click launches an xterm terminal session, currently running ubuntu 12.04 lts
[23:39] <Saku9> i have no idea why
[23:39] <Emulator> EriC^^, got loading mbr data text and nothing more
[23:39] <OneM_Industries> What do you mean by disturbing?
[23:39] <EriC^^> Emulator: no stray gpt data?
[23:40] <Emulator> EriC^^, no just says loading mbr from /dev/sda and thats it
[23:40] <OneM_Industries> And they are still connecting then disconnecting from the computer...
[23:41] <EriC^^> Emulator: odd
[23:42] <Emulator> EriC^^, ill switch to win and check manuall how to config win 10 for duallboot again. i think i mised something somewhere
[23:43] <EriC^^> ok
[23:44] <apb1963> Is anyone using pipelight on ubuntu 14.04 with firefox?   I can't get it installed and working.  #pipelight is apparently dead, despite all the corpses littering the channel.
[23:44] <daftykins> apb1963: trying to use something like netflix? you're years too late
[23:44] <apb1963> daftykins: no
[23:45] <OerHeks> chrome, is the answer
[23:45] <daftykins> apb1963: an explanation would be handy then
[23:45] <apb1963> daftykins: I'm trying to use a county website, who in their infinite wisdom decided that one must be an MS lover to use their site.
[23:45] <apb1963> OerHeks: chrome does not work with silverlight
[23:46] <daftykins> so it's using some kind of silverlight content?
[23:46] <apb1963> daftykins: correct
[23:46] <OneM_Industries> Anyone have an idea why these headphones connect then almost instantly disconnect?
[23:47] <apb1963> daftykins: and I have no choice.  If I want their info. - and I do - I must use something that understands silverlight and can render it.
[23:47] <MonkeyDust> OneM_Industries  try blueman for better connection
[23:48] <poppe> in lubuntu, does someone know how to redirect sound through a display port (nvidia gtx 960 proprietary driver) to my monitor w speakers?
[23:48] <jdvs> i'm hoping someone here might be able to help me fix this problem i'm having with apt: http://pastie.org/pastes/10382455/text
[23:48] <daftykins> apb1963: heh i'd sooner VM Windows to get the job done, a native solution is a waste of effort
[23:49] <apb1963> daftykins: yeah, only problem is my cpu doesn't have vt-d or vt-x
[23:49] <daftykins> apb1963: that's not even necessary
[23:49] <apb1963> daftykins: it is for VM
[23:50] <daftykins> no. it is not.
[23:50] <daftykins> it simply accelerates it, it doesn't stop it being possible
[23:52] <apb1963> well, it was quite a while ago since I tried it... I don't remember the exact issue, but I do know I got halted by not having vt-{d,x}...  I was trying to setup a machine to for an android VM and I couldn't do it.  Maybe it was restricted to that app, as I say... I don't recall the precise issue.
[23:52] <daftykins> depends on the virt tech you try and use
[23:53] <daftykins> but no, it's not a thing - which CPU model exactly?
[23:53] <OneM_Industries> MonkeyDust: I tried using blueman, for some reason it says "Device added successfully, but failed to connect." Any ideas?
[23:53] <apb1963> daftykins:  Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     E7500  @ 2.93GHz
[23:54] <daftykins> i'm sure something like qemu would work
[23:54] <Aleepor> do i need to create a swap particion in the instalation of ubuntu? is that required? what benefits swap particion has?
[23:55] <apb1963> daftykins: I did not try qemu... I tried virtualbox if memory serves.
[23:55] <Jordan_U> daftykins: qemu without kvm is so slow as to be basically unusable for most purposes.
[23:55] <daftykins> Aleepor: ability to sleep, hibernate... ability for machine not to grind to a halt
[23:55] <Ben64> Aleepor: you only need swap if you have low ram, or want to hibernate
[23:56] <Bashing-om> Aleepor: 8 Gigs of ram, one can maybe do without - if you do not hebernate. But a swap partition is cheap insurance to help take the load of the processor .
[23:56] <daftykins> Jordan_U: i don't know how those fit together- but i'm not the helpee here.
[23:57] <MonkeyDust> OneM_Industries  no, is it with the earphones only?
[23:57] <Aleepor> i have 6gb and it fits me, so i wont create
[23:57] <Aleepor> thanks
[23:57] <Jordan_U> apb1963: Please pastebin the output of "sudo kvm-ok".
[23:57] <OneM_Industries> I don't have any other bluetooth devices, so not sure.
[23:57] <apb1963> Aleepor: if, like me... you typically have 35-50 browser windows open, and a buttload of other things running, along with multiple desktops and virtual machines, then you might run short on RAM, at which point the CPU will need a swap partition, to swap out those processes not actively running to make room for more processes.
[23:58] <Ben64> Aleepor: 6 is a bit low for no swap
[23:58] <Jordan_U> apb1963: If you don't have kvm-ok then "sudo apt-get install cpu-checker" first.
[23:58] <apb1963> Jordan_U: read my mind... working onit
[23:59] <apb1963> Jordan_U:
[23:59] <apb1963> INFO: /dev/kvm exists
[23:59] <apb1963> KVM acceleration can be used
