[00:00] apb1963: Great, that means that you should get good performance from any of the Virtual Machine options. [00:00] ok, i guess i'll create though. Which size is the recommended for 6gb ram? [00:01] 6gb if you want to hibernate, maybe 4GB or so if you don't [00:01] same size as the ram? [00:02] i heard that was the double, not even 10? [00:03] Jordan_U: so the theory goes... It appears to be saying that since /dev/kvm exists then acceleration can be used... I'm not sure I agree with that assessment (devices are easily created), but I'll go back and see if I did in fact make a mistake. Thank you [00:04] daftykins: thank you as well [00:04] Aleepor: "double the ram" is old info from the days of a scarcity of ram . With your 6 Gigs, you can make swap much less . [00:05] ok [00:05] apb1963: You're welcome. People don't just go around creating devices that happen to be named /dev/kvm, and random software doesn't either. Your CPU supports KVM acceleration, and that support is enabled in your boot firmware. [00:05] apb1963: ;) [00:07] Jordan_U: it's probable I installed something that created the device... what I wonder is if the device was created without regard to actual abilities of the CPU. [00:08] Jordan_U: if you look at the capabiilties of the CPU (i.e. the spec sheet) it doesn't have vt-d or vt-x... which is what makes me wonder. [00:10] I MUST find where those crickets are hiding. [00:10] 9~ [00:10] Gotta be in my clothing somewhere or something. [00:11] apb1963: http://ark.intel.com/products/36503/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-E7500-3M-Cache-2_93-GHz-1066-MHz-FSB shows VT-X as being available (though dependant on the configuration of the rest of the hardware). [00:13] Jordan_U: ? This feature may not be available on all computing systems. Please check with the system vendor to determine if your system delivers this feature, or reference the system specifications (motherboard, processor, chipset, power supply, HDD, graphics controller, memory, BIOS, drivers, virtual machine monitor-VMM, platform software, and/or operating system) for feature compatibility. Functionality, performance, and other benefits of this [00:13] feature may vary depending on system configuration. [00:14] good lord will you move on from that point and just get it working :) [00:14] Jordan_U: It's a Dell Optiplex 760 for the record [00:14] virt was possible years before VT came about [00:17] apb1963: Try it. I am able to run VM's on CPUs that are not supposed to be able to run VMs, and with the VM option off. [00:18] Ok, so I got my headphones connected, but now they are not showing up in sound settings. [00:18] I cannot see them in either pavucontrol or alsamixer. [00:20] hi guys where is alacartes system configuration stored? [00:22] dpkg -L alacarte [00:26] Anyone have an idea about these headphones? [00:27] bluetooth? [00:27] you pair them? [00:27] Yep, but they are not showing up in the sound settings. [00:27] OneM_Industries: which Ubuntu release? [00:28] 14.04 LTS, not sure about the sub version. [00:30] cat /etc/issue ;) [00:30] OneM_Industries: That's all I wanted; what kind of headset is? As in, which BT profile? AS2SP, HCF, HSP ? [00:30] 14.04.3 [00:30] Um, hold on. [00:31] OneM_Industries: A2DP is for stereo audio playback, HCF/HSP are for devices with microphones as used on phones [00:32] This has a microphone. [00:32] Hi, can someone confirm that unity 3d can is able to run in ubuntu - with wine? [00:32] wydhry: ask #winehq [00:32] Thx [00:33] wydhry: without Wine, I believe [00:33] I need help! [00:33] with dhcpd, is it possible to send different bootfiles based on the MAC address? [00:33] OneM_Industries: If you're using a GUI, in the Bluetooth device connection list does it show any audio sinks? [00:33] OneM_Industries: as in "Audio Sink" and "HEadset Service" [00:34] Yep, it is set up as a headset service. [00:35] OneM_Industries: Unfortunately, the underlying Bluez libraries and tools ripped out the headset support and it still hasn't been replaced for 15.10 [00:35] Doh! [00:35] So, what are my options? [00:36] I'm trying to make a bootable USB of an Android x86 port. I have the ISO but uNetBootIn only tells me to mount /dev/sdb1 to a mountpoint. I've tried just using the "dd" command but I am not sure how to properly use it for this purpose. [00:36] It refuses to set up as an audio sink. [00:36] OneM_Industries: I was caught by this regression too; took me 1/2 a day of searching to find the explanation. I'm trying to find the links again now [00:37] Thank you. [00:37] OneM_Industries: It should still work with the A2DP profile (audio out sink) although you may need to use PulseAudio's pavucontrol in order to reroute audio to the headset. [00:38] I have tried that, it refuses to set up as an Audio out sink. [00:38] Is there a method of mounting my USB to a mountpoint like it said or...? I apologize for my inexperience but I'm just not sure what to do in this situation [00:39] I could also use instructions on using the "dd" command to take care of this [00:39] kris27mc: what's this android setup provided in? ISO? [00:39] It's an ISO [00:39] sudo dd if=/path/to/file.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=2M [00:40] replace sdX with the letter of the drive, *not* a partition though, so not sdX1... sdX. [00:40] TJ-: If I try to use A2DP, blueman says "Device added successfully, but failed to connect." [00:40] OneM_Industries: that suggests the pairing may have failed. Delete the pairing and try again [00:40] Basically, it only works in the headset profile. [00:41] Ok, working on it. [00:41] OneM_Industries: if you can get HCF/HSP profile working you doing better than me! [00:41] Yep, it is only working in the headset service profile. [00:42] But still not showing up in audio settings. [00:43] OneM_Industries: Ahhh! I got myself inverted! HCF/HSP *wiil* workin 14.40 Trusty (which has Bluez 4.1) but won't in 15.10/Wily (Bluez 5.x) [00:43] Ah! [00:43] Ooh....good thing I never got bluez 5 working then. [00:44] OneM_Industries: A2DP should work though, unless the Pulseaudio module isn't correctly configured. Have you ever done any manual configuration of the pulseaudio modules, or installed something like Blueman that does it for you? [00:44] I have blueman, but I am not sure how to configure pulseaudio really. [00:45] daftykins: Thank you so much! [00:45] OneM_Industries: just to confirm what I said earlier. PA v5.x release notes says Bluez v5.x only supports A2DP see http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Notes/5.0/ [00:46] Hm, I have Bluez 4.101, so that should not be an issue. [00:46] OneM_Industries: In the background pulseaudio loads small specialised modules, for sources and sinks. So in theory all it needs is to ensure the module-bluetooth-sink (I think it is called) is loaded [00:46] l [00:46] o [00:46] OneM_Industries: exactly - as I said, I got myself inverted... I did this research several months ago when considering whether to upgrade to bluez5 [00:47] OneM_Industries: Try "pactl list | grep blue" [00:48] http://pastebin.com/SDQCmVMC [00:49] OneM_Industries: see mine: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12219355/ [00:50] Hm, odd. [00:50] OneM_Industries: I saw identical output to you until I connected the headset, then that additional info [00:51] Odd, if I try to initialize any of those modules, it outputs "Failure: Module initialization failed". [00:51] OneM_Industries: So, you need to have the headset connect. Does the headset support multiple devices? If so, you may need to tell it to connect to the PC rather than its default connection (usually a 'phone) [00:52] It does support multiple devices, but the odd thing is that I just got it, so it has never had the chance to connect to something else. [00:52] OneM_Industries: My device supports 2 'phones and a PC, and when connecting something other than the default I have to hold down the connect button for 3 seconds, and then I can change the connection device using the volume -/+ control [00:53] ...and now it will not connect at all. [00:57] Fine, forget it. I am just going to use the audio in jack on these things. [00:57] OneM_Industries: in the detail of the PA v5 release notes it also adds "GNOME made also a decision, possibly misinformed one, to drop support for BlueZ 4 in their last release, which means that upgrading to the current GNOME version (3.10) has one of two problems depending on the BlueZ version in the system: with BlueZ 4, the GNOME UI for managing Bluetooth won't work, and with BlueZ 5 the headset audio functionality will be crippled." [01:03] is samba a necessary ubuntu package to have on your system? [01:03] nope [01:03] so im safe to purge it? [01:04] yup === raj` is now known as raj [01:04] . === hxm is now known as Guest96644 [01:15] hi [01:16] I got a haupage dvr recorder and need some help getting it working... is this the right place? [01:21] tv-guy: don't see how Ubuntu has anything to do :) === john__ is now known as tables [01:23] i am looking for help with getting some hardware to work in ubuntu, is this not a support chat for ubuntu? [01:24] lol at jhon _> tables rename [01:26] tv-guy, have you considered using mythbuntu instead? [01:28] tv-guy, #ubuntu-mythtv might be able to tell you more info about what hardware works best for dvr etc. [01:28] yep but I would like a vanilla browser & whatnot, anyway its the same hardware set right? [01:28] like a vanilla browser? what on earth do you mean? [01:28] tv-guy: what card? [01:29] I do not like the crazy ui stuff in mythnuntu [01:29] * aeden__d likes his chocolate browser [01:29] tgm: not sure, the box just says haupage colosus [01:30] <-- new to ubuntu hardware [01:30] tv-guy, you can just install myth tv instead of the full mythbuntu [01:31] it's just the same as Windows hardware ;) [01:31] only less of it works! [01:31] tv-guy: pci card? [01:31] tgm: yep [01:32] tv-guy: can you pastebin the output of 'lspci' [01:32] unless there is a reason I am not going to install myth anything [01:33] tv-guy: what is your end goal? [01:34] hello [01:34] vlc & xawtv is enough for non coded channels [01:34] tgm: record video off my old games [01:34] http://pastebin.com/DpA5tbXt [01:37] well it's listed, so thats good [01:38] and http://www.kernellabs.com/blog/?page_id=2117 says it's supported though regular video4linux [01:39] tv-guy: can you pastebin the output of 'dmesg' [01:41] http://pastebin.com/hB9hK1WQ [01:45] tv-guy: seems to be detected fine. Have you tried firing up a video program and seeing if it works? [01:45] xawtv says no video grabber device available btw [01:46] say Could someone help me get rid of ubuntu? I don't know if y'all help with that but I'd really appreciate either help with it or if you could direct me to someone that can help. [01:46] tgm I am not sure what to use... nothing finds it [01:46] BlitzerHound: and replace with...? [01:47] Well, I'm just way too used to windows, so I think I'm gonna go ahead and switch it back if that's possible. [01:47] tgm so... vlc asks for a ton of stuff i do not know [01:47] BlitzerHound: is there an actual reason? something you're unable to do? you can just install windows and it will work [01:47] I've been trying to do it on my own but it doesn't seem to be working because of some kind of error with the partition. Not sure what that is. [01:48] tv-guy: I'm not familiar with that device, and it's been a long time since I've used PCI tuners [01:48] BlitzerHound, put in your windows cd and boot & repair [01:48] No, no real reason honestly. Just a bunch of small things - a lot of the programs I'm used to take a lot of work to install and this computer has a lot of hardware issues, so learning a new system on top of all that is kinda difficult. [01:48] tv-guy: I wonder if it just shows up as a standard /dev/video# device [01:49] tgm: suggestions??? [01:49] tv-guy: anything come from 'ls /dev/video*' [01:49] Um, see I tried and it keeps telling me there isn't room on the partition. I don't know what that is. [01:49] tgm: not 0-9 anyway [01:49] BlitzerHound: how did you get Ubuntu installed? [01:50] I installed it by downloading it and then running the thing from the USB [01:50] tgm: no file found [01:50] BlitzerHound: the thing = ? [01:50] tv-guy: hmm [01:50] I don't know what it's called. I installed it from a program that I installed onto a flash drive. [01:51] BlitzerHound: too vague. [01:51] way too vague [01:51] tgm: I like the sound of that humm :-) [01:52] BlitzerHound: sounds like WUBI? [01:52] I looked up ubuntu, it showed me the process of installing it via USB so I downloaded that, formatted the USB drive and installed the program onto the flash drive. It said I needed to reboot then run it from the boot menu, but there wasn't a button showing up so I had to take an extra measure to create an option on boot to install from the USB. [01:52] Yes, that thing. [01:52] Sorry, I'm not good at names. [01:53] boot from usb is not wubi [01:53] But wait, no that's not it. I just looked at it. Sorry, that's not what I used. [01:53] tv-guy: tgm4883 I didn't see a DVR reported in dmesg; which lines did you see it at? [01:53] Let me see if I can find it. [01:54] I think it's called pendrive linux? [01:54] universal USB installer [01:54] UUI or YUMI would've put the ISO onto the flash drive [01:54] TJ-: I think it's this 04:00.0 Multimedia controller: ViXS Systems, Inc. Device 3000 [01:54] BlitzerHound: none of this has anything to do with why you can't reinstall Windows. [01:55] I know, I'm not sure why the question came up. I tried using gpart to free up space on the 'partition' and it won't let me because the min amount of space and maximum amount of space are the same and I can't resize it. [01:56] do you have a dual boot system [01:56] No. [01:56] then install windows [01:56] I tried. It keeps telling me that I need to free up space on the partition. [01:56] BlitzerHound: you don't free space, you wipe the drive... [01:56] then join ##windows for help installing windows [01:57] BlitzerHound: you need to ask in windows irc channel [01:57] Okay, sorry. I know I seem really stupid [01:57] tgm4883: From lspci yes, but that's no evidence of a driver loaded. tv-guy can you "pastebinit <(sudo lspci -nnvvvk -s 04:00.0)" [01:58] Thanks for trying to help me anyway. I appreciate it. [01:58] blitzer: you are going to have to back up any data on the drive you want to keep and repartition without resizing, this will destroy the data on the drive [01:58] I don't have anything on here I want to keep. I'm hoping to just completely wipe everything and start over. [01:59] BlitzerHound: so nuke the disk from the booted ubuntu live session, then boot your Windows media and install. there's nothing to it. [02:00] http://pastebin.com/suFDf4VU [02:00] But what if I don't have the disk? [02:00] I'm trying to install it from a USB like I did with ubuntu [02:00] BlitzerHound: you need to be asking windows questions in ##windows [02:01] BlitzerHound: bye bye [02:01] tv-guy: I don't see any sign of drivers for that device. You can check with this command: "egrep -i '(1745.*3000|0070:d180)' /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/*" [02:03] tv-guy: in case you're not aware, a kernel driver recognises a PCI device it supports by the unique Vendor:Product ID (1745:3000 or sub-system 0070"d180) and there are no drivers claiming those IDs [02:04] http://pastebin.com/e3Wt2D4B [02:05] tj: ok so how do I get the driver? as I said I am new to hardware [02:05] tv-guy: As I said, there isn't one [02:05] Hello guys [02:06] tj: so what do I do? [02:06] tv-guy: You need to ask the manufacturer if they provide a proprietary or out-of-tree Linux driver [02:06] how are you? [02:06] Siente: support questions only please, no chat here [02:07] tj: I am told it should "just work" [02:07] our survey says no :) [02:07] okay I have installed Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS on my machine I want to configure a web server I'll need apache, php, postgresql [02:07] tv-guy: older Hauppage devices do have some support, and the manufacturer has a basic overview page for Linux at http://www.hauppauge.com/site/support/linux.html [02:07] how can i make the chat show me all channels on freenode [02:08] Siente: cool, so install them [02:08] Kalimero, use alis to search [02:08] should I use the version which are in the package manager? [02:08] tj: been through all that [02:08] !alis | Kalimero [02:08] Kalimero: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" . For more help or questions relating to alis, please join #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [02:08] Siente: yes [02:08] tv-guy: Nothing "just works"! Everything needs a specialised driver. The more unique the hardware the more need for a unique driver [02:08] daftykins, is there a way to install newer version ? [02:08] bazhang: thats it thanks [02:08] Siente: i wouldn't recommend it. [02:08] or If I want newer version I need to use ubuntu 15.04 [02:08] or to compile them manually ? [02:09] or find a PPA [02:09] daftykins, on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS the version of git is 1.9.1 [02:09] i'd recommend staying on LTS for server aspects [02:09] daftykins, where can I look for ppa? [02:09] your favourite search engine [02:09] daftykins, okay, but are there official ppas? and what ppa is standing for? [02:09] !ppa [02:09] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [02:09] bazhang: ok now i am confused. how do i use it [02:10] you need to ask yourself if you really need the latest version - more often than not you don't [02:10] daftykins, well maybe only for git I need version 2.5.0 [02:10] good for you :) === ossurayynot is now known as tonyyarusso [02:11] daftykins, okay btw how can search in the apt-get ? I mean what I am doing atm is for example typing sudo apt-get install postgr and pressing tab to show me the suggestions [02:11] daftykins: for functionality i agree with you but for security reasons you should always have the latest one, shouldn't you [02:12] sudo apt-get update && apt-cache search x [02:12] Kalimero: the packages in the repos have fixes applied. [02:12] but with apt-cache search x it's finding too many results [02:12] so be more specific [02:12] I mean I have tried apt-cache search postgresql [02:12] or pipe the output to less [02:13] I am wondering to use postgresql or mysql [02:13] can you phrase an actual question? [02:14] what are you trying to achieve? [02:14] to setup a web server and to work over projects [02:14] I can do simply sudo apt-get install php5 php5-mysql mysql apache2 [02:14] and standard LAMP won't cut it huh? [02:15] yeah so what are you asking? [02:16] wtf [02:16] so setup ubuntu firewall should i use iptables or ufw? [02:16] daftykins, you know for postgresql there's pgadmin do you know if there's something like that for mysql? [02:17] you mean a web frontend so you can avoid learning to do things properly? :) [02:17] there's phpmyadmin [02:17] I know about phpmyadmin [02:17] guest81389: ufw is a wrapper for iptables [02:17] anyone bootloader experts here? [02:17] I am just wondering if there's something like pgadmin [02:18] i don't know what that is [02:18] so if i use ufw, iptables will have the same config? [02:18] why don't you look these things up online? [02:18] !ufw [02:18] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as gufw and ufw-kde also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [02:18] I want to modify a bootloader file (bootx64.efi) but not sure where to begin [02:18] jacko: Just ask your question . [02:19] !xy | jacko [02:19] jacko: The XY problem is when you need to do X, and you think you can use Y to do X, so you ask about how to do Y, when what you really should do is state what your X problem is. There may be a Z solution that is even better than Y, but nobody can suggest it if X is never mentioned.

Read "/msg alis help list" . For more help or questions relating to alis, please join #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [02:19] any ideas? [02:20] daftykins: thanks [02:20] daftykins, okay btw maybe I am just going to install LAMP like this sudo apt-get install php5 php5-mysql mysql apache2 it's going to be okay right? [02:20] !ubuntu [02:20] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [02:21] jacko: UEFI EDK2 has generic PXE modules, but you'll need a UEFI module specific to the NIC and load it manually via the UEFI shell [02:21] Siente: quite honestly if you think you're going to be starting some web dev work on Ubuntu and you won't look up the basics of setting up a system, you're not going to have a fun time. [02:21] !sudo [02:21] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !pkexec (for older releases: !gksu and !kdesudo). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [02:22] TJ-: I want to automate this... [02:22] daftykins, what do you mean with the basics of setting up a system? :D [02:22] jacko: automate what? if the firmware doesn't come with built-in PXE support there's no way to automate it [02:22] is iptables in all linux distros(even not ubuntu)? [02:22] *facepalm* [02:22] Siente: you can't be serious. [02:23] TJ-: It does have built-in PXE support, it's booting up fine.... just that it's looking for "boot.cfg" in the root directory and I want to tell it to look somewhere else [02:24] daftykins, I'll just have to configure the apache and so on after installing LAMP ? [02:24] the L is Linux so technically you're installing AMP on L [02:24] jacko: Oh, so alter the config of the PXE/TFPT server [02:25] daftykins, yeah [02:25] TJ-: so it's the TFTP server that's controlling where it's looking for the boot.cfg? [02:25] daftykins, I'll be able to configure my apache, mysql and so on [02:25] yes... yes you will [02:25] if iptables is embedded in linux kernel does that mean that it is embedded into all linux distros(since they all use same kernel)? [02:26] guest81389: that's not an ubuntu support question, that's a ##linux question [02:27] daftykins, seriously I didn't get it what you mean with and you won't look up the basics of setting up a system, you're not going to have a fun time. [02:27] jacko: with PXE the host calls the TFTP server defined by the BOOTP/DHCP server response, and the TFTP pxe configuration can be tailored to match on individual MACs if you really want, it is very flexible [02:27] daftykins, what do I need to setup on Ubuntu? [02:27] Siente: essentially you're unsure of step #1 so i think you're going to struggle. === guest81389 is now known as visitor9491 [02:28] not exactly :) [02:28] right. [02:28] jacko: usually the kernel image and initrd are served over TFTP along with a kernel command-line from the PXE config... if doing a complete network boot the kernel command-line usually has a NFS root file-system specified [02:29] TJ-: trying to install ESXi... don't really know where to get the kernel image or initrd [02:29] so that's not ubuntu support, jacko [02:30] daftykins: right [02:30] and why aren't you just installing it from a flash drive and getting it done o0 [02:31] daftykins: because I have like 36 servers and I want to use kickstart [02:31] daftykins, I've installed everything now :) [02:31] jacko: best find an appropriate channel then [02:31] daftykins: ok thanks [02:32] daftykins, actually I know where are all configuration files located and so on [02:33] jacko: VMWare document PXE boots [02:33] Siente: that's nice, you don't have to keep bugging me now [02:34] daftykins, okay I have 1 fast question what's the best way to install LXDE on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS properly ? [02:34] don't put a GUI on a server [02:35] daftykins, hmm it's going to be a dev environment I'll be coding on this machine [02:35] daftykins, it's my PC at home [02:36] Siente: security-wise you shouldn't install a x-server / gui on a server ( i tried and ubuntu told me not to do) [02:36] but it won't be a server where I'll be hosting anything it I'll be just developing on it [02:36] Siente: I would guess 'sudo apt-get install lxde' [02:36] !lxde [02:36] LXDE ( http://lxde.org/ ) is the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment used by !Lubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop ». See http://lubuntu.net/ for more information, and join #lubuntu for support. [02:36] !info lxde [02:36] lxde (source: lxde-common): Meta-package for the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.0-4ubuntu4 (vivid), package size 2 kB, installed size 30 kB [02:37] what graphical environment are you using guys [02:37] Siente: I3 if it counts [02:37] Siente: on my desktop? Unity [02:37] Siente: precisely. no GUI :) [02:39] Siente: Also known as I3wm [02:39] daftykins, but this machine won't be a server I'll just have a dev environment where I'll be coding [02:39] that's nice [02:40] Siente: so why dont you install ubuntu normaly? [02:40] I have installed Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS Desktop normally [02:40] Siente: You would install lxde via 'sudo apt-get install lxde' [02:41] tgm4883, I have installed LXDE this way on Ubuntu 15.04 didn't look good [02:41] tgm4883: +1 [02:41] haven't tried on ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS [02:41] on 15.04 was buggy [02:41] Siente: well yea, that would be default lxde [02:41] Siente: is that not what you wanted to do? [02:42] it's what I wanted to do [02:42] don't you like LXDE guys? [02:43] Siente: "didn't look good" isn't a very good description [02:44] tgm4883, true, but I don't have it installed now to make a screen shot of it and to show it to you what I call buggy [02:45] btw I'll need just ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /home/siente/workspace/public right? [02:45] i think it's time you actually learnt for yourself rather than asking every single step of the way [02:45] else you won't know how to use this thing when you break it :) [02:46] hmm maybe I'll need to add alias for the phpmyadmin in the apache2.conf to be able to use it from anywhere :D [02:46] okay I'll stop asking [02:49] phpmyadmin was saying that mcrypt is missing omg :D cd /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d && sudo ln -s ../../mods-available/mcrypt.ini 20-mcrypt.ini easy [02:49] ohh sorry for the spam have a great weekend [02:50] so when setting up a firewall is iptables more powerful than ufw? === Ivo is now known as Guest38676 [02:54] it depends on how you measure "powerful" [02:55] sllt [02:55] Guest38676: You are not understanding. 'ufw' is a wrapper for iptables. IF one understands 'iptables' there is no need of 'ufw' . === Guest38676 is now known as Ivoah [02:56] Bashing-om: what? [02:57] Ivoah: " IPTABLES(8) >> iptables/ip6tables — administration tool for IPv4/IPv6 packet filtering and NAT " All you need . [02:58] Bashing-om: what are you talking about? [03:00] The default firewall configuration tool for Ubuntu is ufw. Developed to ease iptables firewall configuration, ufw provides a user friendly way to create an IPv4 or IPv6 host-based firewall. By default UFW is disabled. [03:00] !ufw [03:00] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as gufw and ufw-kde also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [03:01] Ivoah: he was talking to a guest who left, and tab completed to you [03:01] ah [03:04] so just quickly, iptables modifies ufw firewall rules or ufw modified iptables firewall rules? [03:04] the latter [03:04] wow you really don't follow do you :) [03:05] Ivoah: eah ^^ Sorry bout that . my opologies . [03:05] this is rather confusing, 2 different packages to config 1 firewall [03:05] no [03:05] Bashing-om: no problem [03:05] ufw makes it easier to configure iptables [03:05] no, ufw is the noob friendly one - iptables is the insanely complex low level one [03:05] so essentially ufw just mods iptables [03:05] guest81838: and don't forget there are many other wrappers [03:05] yes! [03:05] no [03:06] and essentially iptables is modified anyway regardless wether you use ufw or not right? [03:06] Tgm4883 - did you install unity in ubuntu? [03:06] I see it more like, you can use cd, ls, cat, etc to get around your filesystem [03:06] since its like the base of all packet filtering [03:06] but you can browse around with a mouse in the window environment [03:07] fhrhch: yes [03:07] I think that is a more accurate comparison [03:07] so essentially iptables is the base of all linux packet filtering and all the frontends(like ufw) just edit iptables? [03:07] Tgm4883 - with wine? I cannt find unity linux version [03:08] guest81838: i think it's time you read up online now, you're going over and over the same thing. [03:08] is that a yes? [03:08] !iptables | guest81838 [03:08] guest81838: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as gufw and ufw-kde also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [03:08] how many ways do you want to phrase the same thing before you get it o0 [03:08] !ufw | guest81838 [03:09] nothing modifies the executable iptables [03:09] fhrhch: and here we have one of the many naming issues with software. I'm talking about the DE, not the game engine [03:09] so its a yes? [03:09] you question is not even accurately formed for a yes/no response [03:09] guest81838: go learn. [03:09] not the executrable but the iptables configureation [03:10] read, play with them, learn [03:10] k [03:10] yes, ufw is used to configure iptables rules [03:11] Tgm4883 - oic. Feel so fool [03:11] so the kernel module is where the actual filtering occurs? [03:11] not iptables [03:11] right? [03:12] like we said go read. [03:12] this is getting irritating and isn't really ubuntu support [03:12] ok bye [03:15] Does anyone here have LVM with Trusty 14.04 host, and a 15.10 Wily chroot ? [03:15] 15.10 talk goes to #ubuntu+1 until release [03:16] that wasn't the question Ben64 - damn, dial it back a notch [03:16] Ben64: No, this is a 14.04 based issue [03:16] daftykins: you dial it back, i was just stating a fact === Ubre is now known as ubre === user is now known as Guest52601 [03:22] lol, you're ridiculous. [03:26] daftykins can you help me with a network question [03:26] you have to ask it first [03:27] bear with me, im "new" [03:27] * daftykins waits [03:27] * AldenIsZen grabs a snickers... [03:28] im trying to see everything using my current home network [03:28] phones laptops etc [03:28] define 'see' [03:28] When you say see everything, you mean full access to all disk storage, etc? [03:29] everything using my network? [03:29] You just want to be able to share a few files, what? [03:29] answer daftykins ... basically [03:29] well that was the second question, can i transfer files from win to linux -- vice versa? [03:30] yes [03:30] !scp [03:30] scp is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [03:30] what do you hope to achieve by "seeing" phones? [03:30] Linux uses software called samba that is compatile with Windows network sharing. But ubottu is right that scp is more secure [03:31] only for the benefit to see who was jackin wifi [03:31] allow you can see that in your routers log [03:31] rsync is even more fun. [03:31] lol define jackin [03:31] oh sorry nevermind [03:31] allow: better yet is to just secure the wifi. [03:31] but most router web admins have a devices connected page, so this is pointless [03:32] allow, do you suspet someone is using it without your permission? Have you tried using wifi security? [03:32] suspect* [03:34] I more so just curious about who is doing what on my network, i am generous in sharing my service, just curious to see what people are doing [03:34] thats something you'd still have to do on your router [03:35] pro tip: dont be generous about sharing your wifi [03:36] i know i know, it for the younger ones in the building tho [03:36] give them pw [03:36] if i access this through the router, could i block certain devices if it was necessary? [03:36] depends on your router [03:37] yes most routers can even block mac adresses [03:37] sharing a password with those you trust makes far more sense than letting everyone on [03:37] prevention is better than cure after all. [03:37] this is a feature of the higher end? === root is now known as Guest80 [03:37] really depends on your router [03:37] daftykins very well put [03:37] hello [03:37] mac addresses are easily spoofed [03:37] not really i have a ~$25 router and it can block [03:38] how often should i change the password? you know how younger ones are with secrets [03:38] monthly, quarterly... dunno [03:38] allow: if you want to discuss networking , you should do so in ##networking [03:39] i change weekly [03:39] right thank you all === jbasalone is now known as jbasalone-away [03:40] There is background noise in headphone when no sound is played. Does anybody know how to fix this issue? Ubuntu 14.04 LTS [03:41] on a laptop? pretty common [03:41] hello guys i will like to see the content of this command in less or cat iptables -vnL --line-numbers [03:41] daftykins: yes [03:42] IRCJOE, blah blah blah | less [03:42] ohh thanks [03:43] daftykins: Do you any fix? [03:43] when i used to have a particularly noisy laptop, i can its' audio via a little stereo system (amplifier) to take out the noise. [03:44] I am having this problem..... http://pastebin.com/Lk8YHGxq [03:44] i can? i piped its' audio * [03:44] my gf has a usb soundcard it eleminated the static noise [03:44] I am afraid to just remove kernels using the "rm" command, but... what options do I have? [03:44] daftykins: How should I do that? [03:45] talntid: old and unsupported, or not even ubuntu [03:45] mojtaba: what i stated was a complete sentence, it explains how to do it. [03:45] Laptop <-> amplifier/stereo <-> headphones [03:46] daftykins: sorry, could you please explain, I did not get it. [03:46] daftykins, what? it's ubuntu. 10.04 [03:46] talntid: yeah so EOL - can't help with it anymore. [03:47] !eol [03:47] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [03:47] daftykins, I'm trying to update so I can upgrade to newer [03:47] mojtaba: i fail to see how more obvious i can get [03:47] talntid: meh, that old clean would make more sense. [03:47] mojtaba you phisically connect your laptop to a stereo/amplifier and connect the headphone to the stereo/amplifier [03:47] daftykins: (11:44:23 PM) daftykins: i can? i piped its' audio * I do not know how to pipe its audio [03:48] by plugging in a cable... [03:48] HexTq: no I just plugged in my headphone to the laptop. [03:48] for the love of tux. [03:48] but dafty told you to do that, not to pipe your audio [03:48] piping to my mind is what putting the audio cable between the laptop and amplifier is... [03:49] :D [03:49] HexTq: daftykins: Oh, sorry. I taught you are talking about software part like and by piping you mean this: | (my bad) [03:50] I keep trying to run a .sh file but it keeps saying that I need my files to be in some crazy filepath [03:50] np [03:50] you're welcome to play with CLI to get a laptop talking to a stereo, but i think you might get locked away... [03:50] "Please ensure cbootimage,dtc,ftdput and tegrarcm are in your /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin" [03:50] So there is no way of changing sound card settings, or ... [03:51] you could drop your max volume to 90% to see if it helps [03:51] mojtaba you could get for cheap a external usb sound card it helps [03:51] play in pavucontrol / alsamixer [03:51] daftykins: there is static sound even when I mute it. [03:51] then you have to do one of what me and HexTq suggest [03:52] daftykins: or keep it at 10% sound. [03:52] daftykins: oh, ok. [03:52] daftykins: HexTq: thanks. [03:52] * daftykins tips hat [03:52] i read some time ago its caused by the cpu frequency === wook is now known as Guest91670 [03:53] so no real way to fix it at home so i got that external usb sound card [03:53] What does a colon mean in a filepath? [03:53] HexTq: Thanks. Good to know. [03:53] :) [03:53] hello [03:53] welcome === share is now known as Guest79607 [03:54] Walkerdine: example? [03:55] a [03:55] quit === nobody is now known as Guest45707 === sorinello_ is now known as sorinello [03:59] daftykins: ""Please ensure cbootimage,dtc,ftdput and tegrarcm are in your /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"" [04:01] Walkerdine: it's instead of a comma [04:02] What wouldLike cbootimage should be in /usr/local/sbin and dtc should be in /usr/local/bin [04:02] ignore what would sorry [04:03] why don't you tell us what you're really doing? [04:03] the main task - not this funky approach [04:03] I want to send a file [04:04] It looks like someone wrote a script that meant to say "Please ensure these programs are in your $PATH" and didn't realize $PATH would be substituted with its contents. [04:04] Guest79607: i wasn't talking to you just then - but sure - ask a question. what do you mean send a file? to where? [04:10] Guest79607: silent treatment eh, well ok [04:12] I'm trying to flash a Nvidia Jetson board but I'm getting confused by the directories and where the files are supposed to go [04:13] nice [04:13] Walkerdine, I'm pretty sure it just means "anywhere in your PATH" [04:13] Walkerdine: essentially, all those binaries must be in your path like jasonj8 said [04:14] so typing those binary names from anywhere on the system should be able to find and run them, so that the .sh script can find them [04:14] I need to be root in order to run the script and I think thats what is confusing me [04:17] Walkerdine: doesn't seem like too tough a task then [04:17] install the above programs, have them in your path, run the script [04:17] job's a good-un [04:18] Okay I think I know what I'm doing wrong [04:24] hi, how can I file an issue for a Linux kernel module? [04:24] Just kidding [04:25] I have an Acer C720 chromebook that shipped with an elan trackpad instead of the cypress trackpad, so trackpad doesn't work in ubuntu [04:25] the touch screen work fine though [04:26] is there a way to optimize a compression ? [04:26] coolstar-pc: i suspect you're not using vanilla ubuntu, as it would detect the hardware properly [04:27] daftykins: I'm using Ubuntu 15.04 [04:27] the issue is that my C720P shipped with an Elan trackpad instead of the normal Cypress trackpad C720's ship with [04:27] so chromeos-laptop doesn't enumerate the trackpad properly [04:28] https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/platform/chrome/chromeos_laptop.c#L470 [04:28] what does "chromeos-laptop" have to do with ubuntu? [04:28] it enumerates the light sensor, touch screen and a *cypress* not *elan* trackpad [04:28] chromeos-laptop is the module in the Linux kernel [04:28] daftykins:^ [04:29] hmm perhaps you need to disable the chunk of code in that module for the wrong pad [04:29] you must be quite the niche situation though :) [04:29] yes I was able to fix the issue by patching that module [04:30] but the patch should be pushed upstream [04:30] daftykins: well for some reason on the Acer C720, Acer switched some stuff on the ones that shipped after a certain date [04:30] they switched the CPU from the Celeron 2955U to Celeron 2957U and the trackpad from cypress to elan [04:30] ah that's quite common. [04:31] stocks change [04:31] daftykins: I'm in the same directory as what I am working with but its coming up with the same path as before [04:31] "the same path" ? [04:31] Walkerdine: put the output of you running that script here: http://paste.ubuntu.com [04:32] Okay [04:34] http://paste.ubuntu.com/12220790/ [04:34] ok you're running it with bash, are you sure that's the shebang at the top of the file? [04:35] so if you type "cbootimage" on its' own, does it run? or does it say it doesn't know where it is? :) [04:35] also make sure the programs have executable permission [04:36] coolstar: You should report the issue on https://bugzilla.kernel.org and send a path to the Linux Kernel Mailing list [04:37] Well I'm trying to follow a guide so I hope so [04:37] look at the header of the script file [04:37] so, does cbootimage run or not? [04:37] How do you create a soft link named /a/b pointing to directory /x/y/z ? [04:37] arussel: "man ln" [04:37] I'm not sure if I should run it [04:37] Walkerdine: it won't do anything without any parameters [04:38] either chop chop or you're on your own :) [04:38] daftykins: can't find it, I can manage /a/z -> /x/y/z, but not to rename z as b [04:38] arussel: well you want ln -s, read the man page [04:39] "The program 'cbootimage' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [04:39] apt-get install cbootimage" [04:39] daftykins: I know I need ln -s, otherwise I wouldn't be able to /a/z -> /x/y/z, but I can't find how to /a/b -> /x/y/z [04:39] Walkerdine: right so do that [04:39] arussel: that's good, i'm just a little shocked you can't put 2 + 2 together to make the command work given that far ;) [04:40] is there anyway i can see in ubuntu if my system supports raid? [04:40] arussel: "ln -s /x/y/z /a/b" [04:40] stangeland: well Linux can do software RAID, so any system can that can have enough disks plugged in. [04:41] daftykins, but hardware raid is faster [04:41] TJ-: thanks === randomne_ is now known as randomnesia [04:42] http://wiki.baserock.org/guides/baserock-jetson/ [04:42] stangeland: not necessarily [04:42] This is what I am currently trying to follow [04:42] stangeland: you won't have it without a proper card. [04:43] I have the /nvidia-tools/ directory set up with all of the flashing tools in it [04:43] Walkerdine: just install the above and then re-run the script, jeez [04:43] ah you're supposed to get cbootimage from git [04:44] Walkerdine: you need to add the nvidia-tools folder to your $PATH then [04:45] How do I do that [04:46] $PATH=$PATH:/path/to/nvidia-tools/ i think [04:46] hey n00bs [04:46] !backbox | backbox no support here. [04:46] backbox no support here.: Backbox Linux is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu and is thus not supported in #ubuntu. Please use #backbox on irc.autistici.org or https://forum.backbox.org/ for help with it. [04:46] is it different on root vs user [04:46] Walkerdine: yeah they might have different $PATH s, dunno [04:48] Hey guys, how can i have root privilege without installing (: [04:54] I URGE EVERYONE TO SUPPORT THE DEATH PENALTY FOR HOMOSEXUALS DO AS WHAT GOD COMMANDS! [04:55] what is the best Linux password manager? [04:55] ANTILGBT: lol what? (I am sorry to feed the troll btw) [04:56] Homosapiens should death penalty what? [04:56] novato_br,I don't use them,but lastpass is a very famous one,seems like it supports extensions and linux? [04:56] can't vouch for it though.

[05:20] novato_br, which firefox [05:21] if I know I wouldn't asking for [05:21] novato_br, no, that is the answer to your question. put it in a terminal and see [05:21] which [05:22] ok [05:22] thank you, cfhowlett [05:22] happy2help! novato_br [05:22] happy2help! novato_br [05:23] . [05:23] you kinda spoke to yourself there [05:24] guys is there a way to del a rule from iptable from all table [05:25] from all chains i mean [05:28] sure, sudo rm /sbin/iptables [05:30] thtt, false. that will kill ALL the iptables, not the single rule he requested [05:30] And it should be what? [05:31] actually that'll delete the binary which is exceedingly dumb [05:32] daftykins, doh! right, I totally misread that. that's not just dumb, that's felony level dumb [05:32] IRCJOE: No, you'll need to process each chain separately [05:33] cfhowlett: :) [05:33] i want to enter wine papers please directory but I'm confused. i'm trying to get throught program files (x86) but im missing the command. i wrote: "cd /home/pc/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ (x86)/" and dont work. Can someone help me? [05:33] IRCJOE, man ufw seems to suggest: sudo ufw delete RULE|NUM read for yourself [05:34] cfhowlett: good morning :p [05:35] i'm using terminal though [05:35] lotuspsychje, eh? morning? greetings to you, Sir. It's past lunchtime all over China.

[06:39] hmm [06:39] ok [06:39] what can i do? [06:40] chalcedony: Which file-system that is depends on whether Ubuntu/Linux is installed with a separate /boot/ partition-file-system - if not, then GRUB's files will be in the operating system root file-system [06:40] i mumbled about the 15.04 live DVD i made him [06:41] TJ-, i doubt that he did the custom installation [06:41] chalcedony: first thing to do, when you get the "rescue>" prompt is to to find out where grub thinks its files are. "set" will report GRUB variables. The important two are "prefix" and "root" [06:41] ok TJ- thanks let me go see [06:42] chalcedony: since the last successful boot have any extra storage devices been added (hard drives, flash storage - possibly attached with USB) [06:44] TJ-, not usb but he's removed and replaced the motherboard and power supply, dunno which drives are different [06:46] chalcedony: Ahhhh! it is possible with a replacement motherboard that 1 of 2 things could change. The first is the mode the disk controller uses to access the disk drives. If the drive is relatively recent then the controller should be using AHCI mode, which needs setting in the motherboard Setup. [06:46] prefix=)nsd s6/boot/grub root=hd0,msdos1 [06:47] chalcedony: the second issue can sometimes be that the mobo has multiple SATA controllers, and sometimes only 1 of them can have boot drives attached to its ports [06:47] ahh [06:47] chalcedony: There was a typo there with "prefix=..." I think? [06:49] chalcedony: That 2nd issue can't be causing this since the mobo has managed to read the bootstrap and GRUB's core.img code from the drive [06:49] TJ-, yes - i'm copying from notes - computer is across the room [06:50] chalcedony: give me a moment to start a GRUB virtual machine I have here, so I can replicate the "rescue>" situation [06:50] prefix=)msdos6/boot/grub [06:50] TJ-, thank you VERY much :) [06:51] chalcedony: That prefix - based on what root= says - should be "prefix=(hd0,msdos1)/boot/grub" [06:51] i'll go look again [06:53] TJ-, it is actually what i'm typing - i agree that an umatched ) is weird [06:53] prefix=)msdos6/boot/grub [06:53] chalcedony: That is the fault then! [06:53] oh [06:53] how do we fix? [06:54] chalcedony: was the mobo replaced due to a fault? I wonder if another issue was corrupted disk drive contents [06:54] TJ-, the board has an onboard nic - it wasn't seeing the lan [06:56] Any ide what would be unum for %^&" [06:58] chalcedony: OK... well let's see what we can do about getting you from rescue into the real system [06:58] TJ-, super! thank you :) [06:59] hello everybod [06:59] y [07:00] hey all, i have a newbie question. I am running the command: "servercommand & > log.txt", a log.txt files gets created but noting gets appended. "servercommand &> log.txt" logs to file, but when i dot ctrl+c interrupt, i actually kill my server command - what is the right syntax to use? === hxm is now known as Guest51177 [07:02] chalcedony: First you need to confirm that grub's core.img (which is what gives you the very limited rescue command-line) can see the drive. Type "ls" (LiSt) to see the drives and partitions that have been found. To fix this, you must be able to see (hd0,msdos1) [07:02] TJ-, okies checking :) [07:03] ladies [07:05] oh, the command is "servercommand > log.txt &" and not "servercommand & > log.txt" [07:06] TJ-, (hd0) (hd0,msdos5) (hd0,msdos1) === matthew is now known as Guest36392 [07:07] chalcedony: looking good then. OK 3 commands *should* get you booted. "set prefix=(hd0,msdos1)/boot/grub" then "insmod normal" then "normal" assuming no error messages from those commands you will now be at the standard GRUB boot menu [07:07] I have a Dell laptop Inspiron 14 5000 series which includes windows with nVIDIA GeForce 820M/920M Graphics Driver , I have instaled ubuntu 14.04 where can I download the same video driver for ubuntu ? [07:08] Is this the correct one http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/83686 ? Not sure need an advice [07:08] hmm [07:10] TJ-, going to try :) [07:10] What is a good temp for a HDD?

Nice! [07:13] chalcedony: OK... this seems to indicate the disk is corrupt [07:14] TJ-, ouch [07:14] chalcedony: You'll need a Live ISO image on DVD or preferably a USB flash device, boot that, and use to explore the extent of the corruption and either repair it, or recover vital data and reinstall [07:15] TJ-, i see. what's the preference for USB? [07:15] chalcedony: In case it's not disk corruption, but the new motherboard+RAM modules causing memory corruption right now, when you start the Live ISO image at its boot menu use the 'memtest' option and thoroughly test the system RAM [07:16] ah ok good idea [07:16] chalcedony: I'd suggest the Ubuntu Desktop Live for 14.04 Trusty [07:16] Ben64: Not sure which one to install. In ubuntu software center i can only see this package nvidia binary x.org driver, while in askubuntu and in another blog post suggests to use a ppa. Confused. :/ [07:16] chalcedony: Right now we don't know if the corruption exists on the disk, or only once it has been read into system memory [07:16] TJ-, no but i meant why USB over DVD? [07:17] good point [07:17] chalcedony: Time it takes, waste of a DVD [07:17] TJ-, ok good he's got lots of dvds. has a thing about usb. [07:18] chalcedony: OK, well good luck with it :) [07:18] TJ-, thanks a lot for your help :) [07:27] ? not sure [07:27] neither I [07:27] lol [07:27] :p [07:29] shafox: open the software center, go to Edit -> Software Sources, then Additional Drivers [07:31] Ben64: I see 3 optioins: Nvidia binary driver version 346.82 from nvidia-346, Nvidia binary driver version 346.82 from nvidia-346-updates, and last one is x.org x server nouveau display driver from xserver-xorg-video-nouveau [07:32] Which one to choose the update one or without update one ? === Yukkii is now known as enxia === enxia is now known as neixa === neixa is now known as nexiana [07:45] Does anyone's Dash widgets work in KDE 5.3?

I currently only think of /etc and ~ [09:32] where are you running the command in? which directory? [09:32] Tangurin: also as your user, type which git [09:32] Tangurin: it's cause you installed the script using root so it was installed to /root [09:33] EriC^^: usr/bin/git [09:33] aha [09:33] is that bad or doesn't it matter? [09:33] ok, type cd as your user to go to your home dir [09:33] then try running the script again [09:36] EriC^^: I will make a summary of this now: I could not install ZSH so I wrote sudo su and got root access and then it worked. then I rebooted the ubuntu server and logged in with normal user account. But it seems like I was still root even if I rebooted the server, so I wrote sudo su again and now I am the normal user again, and not root. when I wrote "cd" now, I come to the home folder where my .zshrc file ise [09:36] EriC^^: Everythings seems to be alright then, or is this a bad practice? [09:36] it doesn't make sense [09:37] okey :/ [09:37] Tangurin: you should always use sudo su - [09:38] Tangurin: otherwise you're left with environment from your normal account [09:38] When I login I the terminal shows my servername and a percent (%) [09:38] type id [09:39] EriC^^: Okey when I login I am not root, I am the user tangurin, but when I write sudo su, I get the root [09:39] ok [09:39] and when I write sudo su I get colors in the terminal [09:39] yes, root is using zsh i think [09:39] EriC^^: I think that too.. can I get that to all users? === MattTS_ is now known as MattTS [09:40] When I write: echo $0 as root I get "zsh" when I write echo $0 as tangurin (user) I get "-zsh" [09:41] try to run the script as your user [09:42] what script do you mean now, the zsh?

I need to install Skype, but i cant see it in the repository. I downloaded the .deb from the skype website but appearantly its 32-bits [11:24] I installed it just like 5 mins ago without any problem [11:24] did you install it from the repository? [11:25] I downloaded the deb package from skype site [11:25] ok so i should just dpkg -i the thing and it should work? great [11:25] !skype | opalraava [11:25] opalraava: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [11:25] opalraava actovate the 3rd party repo, update, install skype [11:25] skype 12.04 (multiarch) [11:25] activate* [11:26] ah yes, i'll activate that repo, thanks [11:30] is there a recommended book if I wanted to learn more about linux (particularly using the command line)? there's a lot out there but it's hard to know where to start [11:30] Hi, guys I hava a question I was always using Ubuntu. I want to try another distro. Which should I try?

[11:31] my system hangs sometimes, why? [11:32] mlvmhn: type dmesg after it hangs it might say [11:32] is there a way for me to set up this pc to just be a open type server so i can access it from anywhere? [11:32] cant it hangs cant do anything [11:32] u mean after restart? [11:32] mlvmhn: try ctrl+alft+f1 [11:33] then use terminal [11:33] did i have a stupid question lol? [11:33] like ctrl+alt+delete in windows? [11:33] mlvmhn: dmesg does not contain any information of a prior boot. You have to take a look at the logs instead. [11:33] DC_: its not very specific, what does 'open type server' mean? and what do you want to access from anywhere? [11:34] you want ftp server? [11:34] when it hangs, i must hit the power button [11:34] DC_ can you open this? (dropbox has changed, it works differently) https://www.dropbox.com/home/Public?preview=Ubuntu+Linux+Toolbox.pdf [11:34] !reisub | mlvmhn [11:34] mlvmhn: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [11:34] yeah a ftp server sorry i dont know that much [11:34] DC_: well don't use ftp, its old and bad [11:35] DC_: i'd recommend an ssh server. using that you can transfer files, make a secure tunnel, and a whole lot more [11:35] k, but i think Chrome is the villain here, but why? [11:35] oh i use to be into computers like 7 years ago just now trying to paly around with it again i used phpnuke and stuff for websites it seems like nothing is close to the same lol [11:36] ssh? and would i access it by ip? [11:36] mlvmhn: after you restart, check /var/log/syslog or /var/log/kern.log [11:37] in terminal? [11:37] DC_: ip or domain name perhaps [11:37] mlvmhn: yes, type less /var/log/syslog [11:37] k will do [11:39] is there a way to install windows games on to ubuntu like world of warcraft? [11:39] shall i take a print screen? [11:39] dc: use wine [11:40] no, you can type cat /var/log/syslog | nc termbin.com 9999 to send it to a pastebin and get the link [11:40] mlvmhn: ^ [11:40] and that runs .exe? [11:40] in one sentence? [11:40] mlvmhn: yes [11:40] dc_: yeah I play assultcube.exe using it. [11:40] cat /var/log/syslog | nc termbin.com 9999 ? [11:41] yea [11:41] thanks ill see if i can figure it out [11:41] but i know Chrome is the main reason, but why? [11:42] mlvmhn: is it up to date? [11:43] DC_: open config.wtf and change: SET gxApi "D3D11" to ET gxApi "opengl" then just open wow.exe with wine [11:43] yes, i have 15 tabs and when one tab is updating it can hang the whole system ;( [11:44] there is more then one wine does it matter witch one i get and if i get more then one is that a problem? [11:44] Ira_ good ext .wtf - lol [11:44] dc_: try to use the latest [11:45] Ira_ btw your nick remind me of one of my best friend in college [11:45] Are u from indonesia?

[11:47] wydhry STOP [11:47] oops [11:47] Sorry [11:47] do you use software center for most of your software or download it from a browser? [11:49] if i want to replace /etc/network/interfaces on ubuntu 14.04 - i have tried sudo vi (which edits horribly!) sudo gedit (big error) and sudo nano -- it won't let me save and exit in nano? [11:49] DC_ or from the terminal, using sudo apt install blah [11:50] DC_: usually check software center or apt-get , if it's not there and you need it then check the web for good projects on sourceforge and the likes === martinst is now known as martins-afk [11:50] i feel like learning terminal is a long process but i feel like its so important and is linux hackable? [11:51] DC_ linux is opensource, no need to 'hack' [11:51] i mean like from keyloggers ect [11:51] DC_: it depends on what you install [11:51] DC_, step 1 apt-get install vim - then use it. [11:52] linux being open source means bugs will surface and be fixed, and at the same time it means unofficial bugs can be found more easily and used [11:52] i didnt know if there is a keylogger or anything like that for linux like could people hack your pc useing unbuntu [11:53] DC_: as a user i wouldn't be worried, if you dont run random software that's not from the repos and don't run services on your pc you wouldn't have any problem [11:55] ok so i installed Skype, according to the community help page, but somehow my system settings app was uninstalled [11:55] if i search for system settings from the dash, it's not there [11:56] and i need settings to figure out why my microphone doesnt work [11:56] i'm aware that skype is not the best app, but i'm installing this for somebody else [11:57] opalraava: unity?

[11:58] type sudo apt-get install --reinstall unity-control-center [11:58] ty [11:59] is there a free music program for ubuntu? [11:59] dc_: if u wanna know about true unix break ur sys sometime. don't worry always keep backup. get ur hands dirty [11:59] DC_: music editing ? or listening? [11:59] Eric, if i type that it says it will remove pulseaudio:i386 which i need (for skype) [11:59] download [11:59] rythymbox, vlc [12:00] Hi guys, how can one check why why/if one's laptop is booting to slow? [12:00] opalraava: that's odd [12:00] seems as if the two packages bite eachother? [12:00] bishops: check ur system startups [12:00] bishops disable services [12:00] faucon: you mean apps starting with sys? [12:01] opalraava, run from terminal unity-control-center [12:01] ok i got battle.net to install but it wont let me select a region? [12:01] bishops: yeah [12:01] bishops: like mysql, apache when u don't need it. [12:01] I think what's slow is before the word "ubuntu" appears on the screen, there is a long lag time there [12:01] ioria: that says unity-control-center is not installed [12:02] opalraava, ?_? [12:02] where would I change the colours of my title bars in unity? [12:02] bishops: sys specs? [12:02] bishops http://paste.ubuntu.com/12222380/ [12:02] I don't want to change the theme, only the colours [12:02] it seems as if unity-control-center wants 64 bits pulse audio and nothing else [12:02] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-control-center/+bug/1423414 [12:02] Launchpad bug 1423414 in unity-control-center (Ubuntu) "unity-control-center will deinstall lts-utopic" [Undecided,Confirmed] [12:02] MonkeyDust: thanks [12:03] faucon: how to check sys specs [12:03] bishops: i mean what is ur configuration [12:04] where is my config.wtf [12:04] faucon: ubuntu 14.04 ? [12:04] opalraava: try to reinstall unity-control-center [12:05] bishops: no dude, I meant how RAM, processsor? etc [12:05] To update my kernel is it as easy as go to synaptic and install the latest linux-image (linux-image-3.19.0-26-generic)? [12:05] opalraava: i dont have pulseaudio:i386 installed and skype is working [12:05] hello, may I ask a small question :D [12:05] ubuntu 15.04 is there a way to move the maximize/minimize buttons to the right?

[12:06] ok thank u faucon [12:06] Eric^^ thank you. [12:06] bishops: how much time does it take to boot? r u dual booting [12:07] faucon: maybe 10 sec, no dual booting. [12:07] Hello. I was wondering if ubuntu have any impact on soundcards? I've heard win8 is causing issues with some soundcards. I thought of installing an Xonar DGX in my system. [12:08] bishops: I thinks ur sys is just fine. [12:08] on website of ubuntu-mate it said torrent hash for ubuntu-mate-15.04-desktop-armhf-raspberry-pi-2.img.bz2 is ea74db696bb50907a12ffbc2f2eeb4b5 but torrent via official website is 02666744900bf0326ed1301a21af42db after download [12:08] faucon: haha yes possible! [12:08] tigga_n00bz: looks like you got a bad copy maybe [12:09] ok thank u @ben64 [12:09] bishops: if ur hash does'nt match discard it. [12:09] tigga_n00bz: the hash shows up here [12:09] tigga_n00bz: if ur hash does'nt match discard it. [12:10] faucon: what's hash? [12:10] https://ubuntu-mate.org/raspberry-pi/ tigga_n00bz [12:10] ok thank u all eric faucon and ben64 <3 [12:10] bishops: I was saying it to tigga not to u [12:10] bishops: sorry [12:11] faucon: yes i then guessed [12:12] Eric, ok i'll try that [12:14] tigga_n00bz: i just used the torrent and got ea74db696bb50907a12ffbc2f2eeb4b5 so you should definitely download it again, maybe your torrent didn't finish? [12:15] Just finished downloading and checking, probably odd error. now is good. thanks again : ) @ben64 and rest [12:15] tigga_n00bz: i agree with Ben64 [12:17] ok bye and thank u all [12:17] dang world of warcraft now uses battle client so i get a error when i open it is there anyway to edit a file to fix that? so i can install wow?

[12:19] i installed battle.net but now i cant install the game [12:19] yes [12:19] DC_ better ask in #winehq, i guess [12:20] EriC^^: it seems better now that i removed pulseaudio:i386, i have my settings back. it might be an error in the help page to specify one must install pulseaudio:i386 (i followed the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype ) === nerofox is now known as Guest58228 [12:27] how do I prevent dropbox from starting as another user?

[12:47] medicijnman many people have the same problem, in windows too.. seems you have to convert it to some other readable format [12:47] Hiyas all [12:49] MonkeyDust: you mean m4a? before i tried installing h265 support it worked without any problems [12:50] medicijnman can you not simply uninstall h256 support? [12:51] MonkeyDust: i already tried to uninstall h265 but this made m4a and mp4 playback completely broken (i.e. could not play both formats at all) [12:52] medicijnman so m4a and mp4 are conflicting, right? [12:53] Hi, I am trying to cp this file on my machine, but it is saying 'cannot stat /path/file.so No such file', But when I am in the directory and ls, it is there, but ls -l file.so says 'Can not access /path/file.so No such file'.

[14:29] hello [14:29] how do i lock my screen to prevent cat from typing on keyboard while im away [14:30] poppe: it might be easier to buy an adapter which is known to work [14:30] beaky: alt-ctl-L works for me [14:30] akik: yes :) suggestions? [14:31] akik: I have a pcie 4 place no pci and usb. I rather have usb if i can find one that is stable. [14:32] only suggestion is to avoid realtek :) [14:32] intel is supposedly best [14:33] akik: hahaha... ok. thanks. :) [14:35] i tried that but when my cat slept on my keyboard it froze the lock display [14:35] what do i do now to unfreeze it :( [14:36] beaky ctrl-alt backspace [14:36] MonkeyDust: that hasn't been configured since years by default [14:37] also when i have max-screen xterm on display it briefly flashes when i open the lcok screen [14:38] how do i preent that without having to go to another workspace with no xterm [14:38] prevent8 [14:40] Anyone here run the proposed updates repo and if so have you ever had any issues with it? [14:40] playenball, plenty, you must have a reason to test those updates [14:43] I have a working btrfs filesystem which I rm'ed a file from. I've rebooted to a live env and am trying to restore it, however btrfs-find-root is failing with the error "Went past the fs size, exiting" [14:43] Searching this error only seems to find people having issues with a corrupted filesystem, which I do not have [14:43] Btrfs restore does not restore the deleted files, I assume because it restores the current state of the filesystem [14:43] Any ideas what else I can try? [14:44] lol btrfs is so buggy [14:45] namaste [14:45] rizikon, put back a snapshot, if you have any. [14:46] OerHeks: No snapshots but I should be able to tell btrfs restore to use a previous generation === dipperswett is now known as tswett [14:47] But I need the output of btrfs-find-root to get a list of IDs [14:48] Hello guys I am running ubuntu 15.04 and I was using Ubuntu kde but uninstalled and started using the default ubuntu desktop but now themes switch and it looks like kubuntu and Ubuntu are at war witch each other on my screen [14:49] !pure ubuntu [14:49] !pure-ubuntu [14:49] heh [14:49] without - [14:50] BluesKaj: should I put that in as a command? [14:50] !pureubuntu [14:50] If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/pureubuntu [14:50] I would reinstall ubuntu-dekstop to fix those changes [14:51] already tried that OerHeks , there used to be an info about a page with setting up a pure ubuntu desktop , but I guess since untity there are too many DE options [14:52] ok , good yoiu found it [15:05] kugh [15:10] im trying to create an interface called xenbr0, but every time i try to make an alias in the interfaces file i cant use the network, but dns works [15:10] im a little annoyed, could someone give me some relief, im stuck at this [15:11] stevecam is that a xen bridge? [15:11] yeah [15:11] stevecam sounds like a server, then [15:12] yeah, it does [15:12] stevecam ok, there's also #ubuntu-server [15:15] how do i update my kernel on ubuntu [15:15] to version 4 [15:15] (im on 3.19) [15:16] beaky: why? [15:16] best not to, unkless you have some reason [15:16] beaky if you have to ask, then you shouldent do it [15:16] there usualy is no need for anything like that [15:16] for btrfs [15:17] beaky: you can use the mainline kernel [15:17] beaky: else you have to wait until ubuntu 15.10 [15:17] ah ok [15:17] on opening terminal everytime it shows The program 'banner' is currently not installed. To run 'banner' please ask your administrator to install the package 'sysvbanner' [15:17] im fed up of it? how to fix it [15:18] sever2client can you not install sysvbanner? [15:18] sever2client: check what's calling it in your .bashrc [15:18] or install sysvbanner [15:19] now i dont want that [15:19] !info sysvbanner [15:19] sysvbanner (source: sysvbanner): System-V banner clone. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.15 (vivid), package size 6 kB, installed size 72 kB [15:19] i want to remove that shit [15:20] sever2client: type grep banner ~/.bashrc ~/.profile [15:20] sever2client mind your language ... you want to use something, but you don't want to install it ... doenst make sense [15:22] now i dont want that [15:22] i have already mention that earlier, awake MonkeyDust: [15:23] sever2client, no need to abuse the free help [15:23] appolize [15:23] sever2client guess i was away, so tone it down [15:24] EriC^^: it gives the name which i wanted to put , iwant to remove this facility..

[15:30] I installed a bundle of them and now it looks like they are at war so I want to uninstall all of them (purge or whatever) so that Ubuntu looks like Ubuntu [15:30] sever2client: if it's more than 2 lines paste in paste.ubuntu.com [15:30] admin-g look in ~/.themes [15:32] psichas: I installed kubuntu desktop inviorment and then u purged it and now it looks like it's trying to force itself onto ubuntu [15:32] admin-g, explain. [15:33] admin-g a theme is not the same as a desktop environment [15:34] hello, [15:35] hi [15:35] is the some for help with cross comp? [15:36] cfhowlett: okay I opened terminal and put in "Suso apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" then when I tried to boot my computer it gave me a black screen so I CTRL ALT F2 and put in "Suso apt-get purge kubuntu-desktop" then I did a autoremove so that all the stuff with kubuntu would uninstall and now when I start my computer before the login screen it doesn't say [15:36] Ubuntu it says kubuntu and after the login screen it looks like Ubuntu and kubuntu is trying to both be on the screen idk how to explain it 0.5 seconds Ubuntu then kubuntu n like that in a infinite loop and the windows go from dark theme to normal the window menu disappears and shows up [15:37] admin-g run one more ... sudo apt-get autoremove [15:37] can anyone guide me how to remove nouveau and use nvidia when installing from usb stick [15:38] cfhowlett: I tried that like 5 times [15:38] live sdcard wfm, but once installed nouveau drivers seem broken [15:38] cfhowlett: I even tried purge ubuntu-desktop then install it again [15:38] EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12223473/ [15:39] hi [15:39] i need help with compile on ubuntu for sh4 [15:40] sever2client: type sed -i 's/banner/#banner/' ~/.bashrc [15:40] admin-g, dang. one step ahead of me :) [15:40] smoula99, ??? cross comp? [15:40] cfhowlett - yes [15:40] EriC^^: nothing happened [15:40] cfhowlett: idk what to do at this point [15:40] !details | smoula99, [15:40] smoula99,: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [15:41] sever2client: yes, it should work when you open a terminal now [15:41] admin-g, worst case: reinstall ubuntu [15:41] admin-g: and I fresh installing is not an option I mean it is but I have a lot of stuff that I will not be able to recover [15:41] cfhowlett - i would like cross comp this "http://www.streamboard.tv/oscam/wiki/crosscompiling#sh4" [15:41] hi can i install MATE desktop in my kubuntu? [15:42] admin-g backup first, create a separate /home partition during fresh install [15:42] admin-g, data? move it to a /home partitoin [15:42] EriC^^: works, ton of thanks [15:43] sever2client banner issue solved? [15:43] yeah [15:43] EriC^^ +1 [15:43] MonkeyDust, cfhowlett its software I know it sounds crazy but I will not be able to recover it [15:43] anyone here use a macbook pro with ubuntu [15:43] arulmagi_, first make a backup then use ubuntu-mate-desktop [15:43] sever2client: no problem [15:44] I'm going to try to install gnome and see if that works with no problems [15:45] playenball, after installing MATE, can i remove kubuntu? is it possible? [15:45] arulmagi_: depends on how you installed it I think [15:45] turned firewall on in ubuntu 15.04 ... seeing alot of SRC=74.125.207.141 being blocked... [15:46] from Google.. [15:46] i used my entire partition in my laptop for kubuntu [15:46] Why is google attempting this.. ? [15:46] arulmagi_: yea then it's fine [15:47] HadesWatch3r probably 'trackers' [15:47] ok thanks. which one you think is better kde or mate? [15:47] MonkeyDust ... cookie trackers .. ? Trying to do what ? [15:47] arulmagi_: depends on ur taste [15:47] arulmagi_, what matters is what works for YOU. [15:47] i would like cross comp like "http://www.streamboard.tv/oscam/wiki/crosscompiling#sh4" but don't work for me [15:48] arulmagi_: depends on your taste buddy they are called flavors for a reason ;) [15:48] HadesWatch3r http://donttrack.us/ [15:48] arulmagi_, have you ever used tasksel? [15:49] no... [15:49] hi everybody [15:50] somebody use USBKill ? [15:50] MonkeyDust thanks... I have been searching with startpage.com ... [15:50] no google. [15:50] if you will install tasksel you can use it to remove the kubuntu desktop and install the ubuntu-mate one. [15:50] oh... ok thanks guys [15:51] playenball: does that work if the kubuntu is a environment and the original os is Ubuntu? [15:51] hello all [15:51] arulmagi_, if you switch to ubuntu-mate-desktop I would also select ubuntu-mate-minimal-install as well [15:51] arulmagi_, also if you aren't short on space, you can leave them both installed and select which ever one you want at login. [15:52] admin-g, it is all good because it is still the same ubuntu base [15:53] i got around some 500 gb so no problem with space.... i just want to see how MATE works.... heard some nice things about it [15:53] playenball: so if I have two environments I can delete the one I want not caring about what I had from the first place [15:53] hello [15:53] are there downsides to using a mainline kernel [15:54] hello there, i cannot watch streamings for I have no flash. how can I avoid flash and still watch them? with html5? [15:54] arulmagi_, if I were you I would just install the mate desktop and see how you like it first before removing the kubuntu one [15:54] wearsocks why ask if you have the answer [15:54] admin-g, as long as all you are removing is the desktop then yes [15:54] I dont know how to do it, MonkeyDust, that is why [15:54] Error!! building kernel according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel : fakeroot debian/rules editconfigs gets me "curses.h: No such file or directory". what could be wrong? [15:55] wearsocks youtube.com/html5 [15:55] and if it is a question, it already means I am not sure or do not know it [15:55] playenball: what would one do if desktop was removed and then did a autoremove command? [15:57] I dont have problem with youtube videos. It is other video sites (like news sites) that do not show [15:59] admin-g, as long as you had all the right packages still installed it should be ok. I personally find tasksel to just be cleaner and quicker because the scripts that run already know what packages you need [15:59] is there a way to watch a news channel with an alternative to flash? [16:00] read newspaper === Guest1178 is now known as IdleOne [16:01] admin-g, tasksel is pretty easy. Here is a link to a guide for Ubuntu proper to Ubuntu Gnome using tasksel. Its the same process basically with all the flavors. http://jupiter.ninja/owncloud/public.php?service=files&t=a782d24212751716f75f7cf43f60ca1c [16:01] sever2client "newspaper" is so pre-internet! [16:03] wearsocks, try using chromium-browser [16:03] MonkeyDust: read blogs [16:03] cfhowlett, it asks for flash, too [16:03] then wait for IoT [16:04] happy to ignite a thrilling conversation with one help question [16:04] wearsocks: pepperflash [16:04] kadiro, is it a chromium extension? [16:05] it work with it, pepperflash is an open source for flash [16:06] I use it for both chrome and superbird [16:06] kadiro, thank you, trying it now [16:07] kadiro, I dont find it among add-ons. is it to be installed on browser or on OS? [16:07] !info pepperflash [16:07] Package pepperflash does not exist in vivid [16:08] it exist [16:09] try apt-cache search pepperflash wearsocks [16:09] kadiro, yes, I found it in software center [16:09] :) [16:10] it says that it will download chrome from google to unpack the player [16:10] it is like buying a computer to use a wifi adapter [16:10] lol [16:10] this is odd [16:11] As of 2015-05, the old "pepperflashplugin-nonfree" is deprecated in favor of an official, maintained, one-step package called adobe-flashplugin, which works for Firefox and Chromium and derivatives. [16:11] ( that one downloads chrome indeed, to obtain the plugincontainer) [16:11] OerHeks, but it is "adobe-flash", right? [16:12] Yes [16:13] wearsocks: are you trying to wach a streaming inside vlc? i think this is good if you don't need flash [16:13] kadiro, no, in the browser [16:14] i found an outdated version of marble and just installed the newest one from synaptic. how do i get rid of the old one? [16:14] because i try for example youtube from my vlc [16:14] hi [16:14] OerHeks: what flash version does adoble-flashplugin install¿ it's from the partner repo right¿ [16:15] BBLLCC, depends, how you installed it. [16:15] no idea [16:16] xangua, i removed firefox and the plugininstaller, but i noticed that pepperflashplugin nonfree thingy downloads chrome. [16:17] BBLLCC: remove the new one and install the old one [16:17] BBLLCC, then you will have a hardtime to get an answer [16:17] Sorry about, got disconnected [16:17] OerHeks, interestingly, also a device which has flash plugin installed does not accept it anymore, either, for being outdated etc. [16:18] Anyway, is Ubuntu 15.04 a good version of Ubuntu to use for OS development? [16:18] flash is dead, it does not know it yet. [16:18] yes wearsocks for that i said pepper but like OerHeks said i can't add anyting [16:18] Or is anything older than that sufficent? [16:18] there must be a way to list all installed versions of marble [16:18] Guys what is the difference between lightdm and the other one that I forgot the name off cc [16:18] and purge the old one [16:19] BBLLCC: apt-cache search marble and apt-cache policy marble [16:20] so where we are is that flash is no more, and pepper thing drags along chrome with it? [16:20] wearsocks: install chrome or wait :p [16:21] if you want to watch any web video except on youtube, pepperflash is the option for ubuntu users? [16:21] yes it was [16:21] My apt is broken due to unmet dependencies: http://pastie.org/10383840 [16:21] was? [16:21] no idea how to fix this.. [16:22] bjensen82, update before doing an install, might help [16:22] wearsocks: just install chromr if you don't worry about none open source [16:22] OerHeks: I tried..no luck [16:23] brb [16:23] OerHeks: and its basicly that error msg regardless of how I use apt.. :-/ [16:23] bjensen82, and 'apt-get install f´ does not fix? === wearsocks is now known as fivefingersocks [16:25] but this is strange, there was no such problem until a month ago or so [16:25] with streamings, I mean [16:25] OerHeks: sorry got dced. I tried the update without luck and I get the error msg when I try to update other stuff etc as well [16:26] by the way, has 14.04.3 arrived recently? [16:27] fivefingersocks 3 weks ago [16:27] weeks* [16:27] oh, thanks [16:27] bjensen82, strange, you are some versions behind. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/amd64/libssl1.0.0 [16:28] bjensen82, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade # could bring more updates. [16:28] OerHeks: Yeah I am..but how to fix that just for libssl and dont want to do a whole dist upgrade [16:28] you need to. ( dist upgrade does not bring you a version higher, just newer packages.) [16:28] oerheks but can it potentially break my server? [16:29] bjensen82, potentially someone can break your server, yes. === ich is now known as Guest80219 [16:29] bjensen82 there's no such thing as 100% secure, anywhere, ever [16:30] ofcause not [16:30] but this is avoidable, MonkeyDust [16:30] Im just asking you wether there is a chance I might have to use my sunday for admin stuff? :-p [16:31] bjensen82: depends how long ago you did your last dist-upgrade [16:31] and you should know which packages you have installed and an idea of the support [16:31] between 6-1 and 6-11, ild guess [16:32] *wild guess [16:32] bjensen82: we can't know if a dist-upgrade is going to break your server or not [16:33] bjensen82: is everything installed from the repos? if yes it wont break [16:33] on ubuntus software center marble appears as installed, but when I click on the icon to uninstall it, a message pop ups: it cannot be uninstalled, because it is already uninstalled. There is still a marble icon in the menu and the thing works [16:33] i want to get rid of it [16:33] eric^^ pretty much yeah [16:33] (unless the stuff you're using needs some feature that is now deprecated or something) [16:34] bjensen82: there is always a possibility, slight as it may be, that your server explodes after an upgrade. chances are it won't if you stuck to the ubuntu repos. [16:34] ok thanks. I have a cronjob for apt-get upgrade running nightly as I recall..so I dont think its too bad [16:35] or is that for security updates..Ill have to check into that [16:35] sudo dpkg --purge marble [16:35] dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove marble which isn't installed [16:35] but marble works [16:35] it IS installed [16:35] BBLLCC: type dpkg -S marble [16:37] EriC^^, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/12223770/ [16:37] Is it normal not to have DNS working within local network in linux? pinging a machine to a machine next to it by name won't work, by IP all is good [16:37] BBLLCC: how do you launch marble? [16:37] OerHeks: Bah even if I do apt-get dist-upgrade I get the same errpr: http://pastie.org/10383840 [16:37] EriC^^, either from a terminal writting "marble" or using the icon on the main menu/education [16:38] BBLLCC: type which marble in a terminal [16:38] bjensen82: have you tried running sudo apt-get -f install [16:38] /usr/local/bin/marble [16:38] BBLLCC: ok, looks like it was manually installed [16:39] what is the "root of the kernel source tree"? I have the linxu-3.19.0 folder and subfolder: kernel,arch, debian,ubuntu and some more. [16:39] BBLLCC: you'll have to uninstall it according to the installer you used [16:39] EriC^^, no idea, dont remember, just get rid of all binaries in that directory? [16:39] OerHeks: sorry got dced again. Eeven if I try to do the apt-get dist-upgrade after a apt-get update I get this error http://pastie.org/10383840 [16:39] BBLLCC: i guess [16:39] BBLLCC: not all binaries [16:40] with the name marble on em :D [16:40] BBLLCC: just /usr/local/bin/marble [16:40] bjensen82: have you tried running sudo apt-get -f install [16:41] IdleOne: here is the result of that http://pastie.org/10383878 [16:42] bjensen82: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [16:42] cant [16:42] what is the result? [16:42] bjensen82: why can't you? [16:42] http://pastie.org/10383840 [16:43] bjensen82: apt-cache policy libssl-dev [16:43] i have quite a lot of things i installed manually, got rid of em, but the icons to access em are still visible on the main menu, notice that if I chose the "edit the menu" option to try to get rid of them, the icons are not there [16:43] how do I get rid of all non useable icons? [16:43] k1l: http://pastie.org/10383884 [16:43] BBLLCC: they should be in /usr/share/applications [16:44] BBLLCC: oh misread [16:44] bjensen82: ok i would suggest a sudo apt-get -f install [16:45] I cant, that gives me: http://pastie.org/10383878 [16:45] bjensen82: hmm. [16:45] k1l: when he does a -f he gets the same error about dependencies. You think that maybe pinning to the installed version will let the dist-upgrade complete? [16:46] and I cant do a dist-upgrade either [16:46] EriC^^, that directory also lists things i got rid of year ago... ill have to purge [16:46] bjensen82: did you run a "sudo apt-get update"? [16:46] k1l: yes [16:46] because the package list from that server seems to be older than the packages you got installed. [16:48] k1l: well here is the apt-get update output: http://pastie.org/10383887 [16:48] !precise [16:48] Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is a currently-supported !LTS release of Ubuntu.

[16:51] bjensen82, any ppa on that machine? and what did you want to install in the 1st place? [16:51] what is this error: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/kernel-ppa/ppa/ubuntu/dists/vivid/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [16:52] im trying to update my kernel to something > 3.19 [16:52] hio: that ppa is down or not available for vivid [16:52] OerHeks: well I just wanted to do a apt-get install unzip lol [16:52] what is vivid [16:52] and yeah I think the raid controller have some ppas [16:52] i got that repo from the internet [16:52] hio: 15.04 [16:52] !vivid | hio [16:52] hio: Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download at http://releases.ubuntu.com/15.04/ - Read the release notes at http://ubottu.com/y/vivid [16:53] lol [16:53] i have 15.04 vivid, so why isnt it available [16:53] hio: yes, its not for 15.04. its only for ubuntu releases up to 13.04 or something. [16:53] i need a newer kernel so that the vmware shared folders work [16:53] !mainline | hio [16:53] hio: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [16:53] hio, you should use the mainline.. http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [16:53] i dont understand omg [16:54] hio, and use at your own risc, backup stuff first [16:54] testing [16:54] what is the command?? [16:54] hio, if you don't understand then you really should approach changing kernels with caution [16:54] hio, it is on that page [16:54] k1l: any idea how I can this this? [16:54] i just need shared folders to work, google says i need a newer kernel because it doesnt work with 3.19 [16:54] bjensen82: IdleOne i guess that needs some dpkg depp diving. but i am not available right now for that task :/ [16:55] anyone else have the time to help out? :-/ [16:55] hio, explain please? [16:56] How can I list what devices I have attached to my computer? I need to check if /dev/sdf is the thing I think it is [16:56] Walkerdine: sudo parted -l [16:56] i have to restart, maybe then it works [16:57] Cool thanks [16:57] np [16:58] OerHeks: this is actually how it all started I think. Perhaps this casts some light on the issue: http://pastie.org/10383908? [17:00] when i try to install firefox via a deb file downloaded from security.ubuntu.com, i get this "Error: Breaks existing package 'hunspell-en-us' that conflict: 'iceweasel'. But the '/home/siddhartha/Downloads/firefox_40.0.3 build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_i386.deb' provides it via: 'gnome-www-browser,iceweasel,www-browser' on Gdebi package manager. please help [17:01] bjensen82, line 34 and on: no space on the device.. what does ' df -h " tell you ? [17:02] ubuntu is really complicated [17:02] OerHeks: well i saw the no space left so I started removing old kernel versions..but when I wanted to run apt again..it was busted in the state its in now.. [17:02] hio_: Can you be more specific? [17:03] i have to read all kinds of articles to install something [17:03] hio_: Which is the same on all OS, even Windows. [17:03] hio_, problem is, you are sparse with information too. [17:03] on windows i just have to double click [17:03] siddhartha_xs: why are you installing firefox from a downloaded deb file instead using the repository¿ [17:04] hio_: And then you have installed some software you have no clue about on how to use it - and you have to read the docs. Same thing. And not supported related. [17:04] siddhartha_xs, are you running debian? [17:04] OerHeks: and right now when I look at http://pastie.org/10383908? Im a bit afreid to reboot the system..should I be? [17:05] actually a distro based on ubuntu 12.04 LTS , elementary Os [17:05] now i get error "system program problem detected report problem?" [17:05] !elementaryos | siddhartha_xs [17:05] bjensen82, something is holding the packages back, i thought the space would fix it .. [17:05] !elementary | siddhartha_xs [17:05] siddhartha_xs: Elementary OS is an Ubuntu derivative which is supported in their IRC channel #elementary on irc.freenode.net - http://elementaryos.org/ for more information on this distribution.

[17:06] hio_ nice, do you need al those kernels? and whatfor ? [17:06] the website said i have to download them all and install them [17:06] "It is best to downloaded the files into a folder by themselves. Then, one may install all the packages simultaneously by executing the following in a terminal: sudo dpkg -i *.deb" [17:06] hio_: Which website told you to install non-install kernel? [17:07] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds#Installing_upstream_kernels [17:07] firefox comes bundled with ubuntu. i made a huge mistake installing this elementary thing. it sucks and it lags. [17:07] OerHeks: can I see which packages depend on the package? [17:07] hio_: What do you need mainline builds for? [17:07] i dont understand what mainline means omg [17:07] i just want a new kernel [17:07] hio_: Why? [17:07] to fix shared folder bugs [17:08] libssl-dev depends on libssl1.0.0 (= 1.0.1-4ubuntu5.27) ..what if I remove the libssl-dev and reinstall it? [17:08] hio_: Show us the bug report containing the information that those bugs are fixed with a new kernel please. [17:08] bjensen82, good thinking, remove/purge and reinstall [17:10] bekks: here it says it: https://communities.vmware.com/message/2510025 [17:11] YES!!! [17:11] that worked! [17:11] hio_: Wrong bugreport. It doesnt even mention mainline builds. It clearly tells you how to fix that error. [17:11] !yay [17:11] Glad you made it! :-) [17:11] TIME FOR A DRINK! [17:12] thanks OerHeks k1l for the help, [17:12] bjensen82, now please keep up2date :-) [17:14] i ONLY have problems with ubuntu packages constantly [17:14] hio_: Which doesnt solve your issue now. Just read and follow the instructions goven in the link YOU provided. [17:15] how do i install windows vm underubuntu [17:15] so that i can evaluate windows server 2016 [17:15] no it wont work anyway, i dont have so much time omg i just want to try a better kernel [17:15] but NOTHING WORKS [17:16] beaky: Install a hypervisor software like Virtualbox, VMware Workstation, KVM or XEN, and then install your VM as usual. [17:16] hio_: The link YOU provided clearly states that a new kernel will now fix the issue. [17:16] zdorova pediki [17:16] beaky, find a supported virtualiser, ask in ## windows perhaps? [17:16] beaky, virtualbox + win7 = fully upgraded and working. guest additions allows me to access my /music in ubunt + itunes in windows [17:17] ffs thats why im trying to install a new kernel but it doesnt work [17:17] kozli mother fucker [17:17] hio_: Read again: a new kernel will NOT fix your issue. [17:17] hio_: Did you even read the instructions in the link you provided? [17:17] !language | anonymous, [17:17] anonymous,: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English.

[17:18] wow i gotta give virtualbox a try then [17:18] : Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/kernel-ppa/ppa/ubuntu/dists/vivid/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [17:18] beaky, it's a useful tool.

For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [17:20] hio_: that PPA is not for 15.04 [17:20] so why does it try to download it then [17:20] hio_: so stop trying to use that PPA. its not gonna work no matter how much you swear [17:20] hio_, so you are on a VMware image, want to share folders, and want a newer kernel without even telling us what the real issue is. is ubuntu the host or the vm ? [17:20] hio_: because you added that PPA. [17:21] i just do what the links tell me to do [17:22] hio_: You just staed you are ignoring the solution offered in the link you posted. [17:22] *stated [17:22] i shouldnt need to fix ubuntu's mistakes [17:23] hio_: The issue is a missing patch for VMware Workstation - you really should read your link. [17:23] hio_: drop that attitude! [17:23] hio_, goodluck [17:23] so why cant that missing update come automatically via ubuntu update? [17:23] hio_: you are just ranting and swearing. this is not the way you contact this support run by volunteers. [17:23] hio_: did you file a bug on ubuntu? [17:23] hio_: BEcause VMware Workstation is not even shipped by Ubuntu - but by VMware. [17:24] hio_: Now stop your ranting, read the link, follow the solution. [17:24] k1l: It's a VMware bug. [17:25] hio_: and i did not find where the !mainline command and wiki page says to use a PPA that is not for recent ubuntu versions. [17:25] i googled how to install new kernel and got it from some website [17:25] I keep getting the error message [17:25] "WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdf'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted. [17:25] " [17:26] hio_: so, even the people i here did say you more than 10 times now that your solution is the wrong one, you still ranting and swearing your solution doesnt work? [17:26] And then there are several messages like "Command (m for help): g: unknown command" [17:26] k1l, it's a done deal. I saw this coming 15 minutes ago and /ignored [17:27] !mainline | hio_ read that page and get a more recent kernel if that helps you. [17:27] hio_ read that page and get a more recent kernel if that helps you.: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [17:27] now i did the steps in the link and i still dont see any shared folder [17:27] i knew it wouldnt work [17:28] Walkerdine, Details within context for us to even begin to help. [17:28] hio_: You cant have done those steps that fast. [17:28] i did it while we were talking [17:28] hio_: Not within thre minutes. [17:28] Yeah, of course... [17:28] Whatever, good luck. [17:28] I'm trying to run a flashing script but its giving me errors on the board partition section and its trying to use fdisk [17:28] oh ok, so now that i have proven you wrong it's not your problem anymore? [17:29] hio: could you stop beeing that aggressiv towards other helpers? [17:30] hio: you said you need a more recent kernel because that fixes your issue with a 3rd party program. we showed you the right solution to get a more recent kernel. [17:30] hio_: It literally NEVER was my problem. [17:30] hello, guys can anyone recommend a good tiling wm? [17:30] hio: It is your problem, amongst others - the biggest problem for you is that you are not listening, and actively refusing help. [17:30] hio: Thats why I wont try to help you anymore. Good luck. [17:30] Hello guys I am installing kubuntu desktop and I am wondering if I should pick lightdm or sddm [17:31] admin-g: 15.04? [17:31] k1l: yes [17:31] admin-g, pretty sure light-dm is the default on all *buntus [17:31] light dm would be my choice [17:31] admin-g: i think kubuntu uses sddm now [17:31] ! or not [17:31] Does fdisk have a "g" command [17:31] Walkerdine, gdisk [17:31] k1l: thanks cx [17:32] Ohh yea is there a way to uninstall all other desktops so I only use kubuntu? [17:32] Should I switch the fdisk command in the flasher script to gdisk? [17:32] !purekubuntu | admin-g [17:32] admin-g: you dont have to uninstall something for using kubuntu. [17:33] bekks: I know but I have Ubuntu-desktop and gnome it takes space and I want more space on my computer [17:36] admin-g, It you are filling up your hard drive you better have it backed up. [17:37] wileee: I back it up every now and then when I think I'll need it but is there a way to back up Java? I need it for webstorm and phpstorm and I'm tired of downloading it ever time I format [17:40] admin-g, use a ltl. [17:40] wileee: ltl??? [17:40] longterm support release [17:41] !lts [17:41] LTS means Long Term Support. Until 12.04 LTS versions of Ubuntu were supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; since 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) LTS versions will be supported for 5 years on the desktop and server. The latest LTS version of Ubuntu is !Trusty (Trusty Tahr 14.04) [17:42] hi Friends [17:42] I have a vga laptop [17:42] k1l: I am done installing now but is it bad if two lines said "1. Unknown media type in type 'all/all'" [17:42] want to connect to HDMI tv [17:43] can somebody suggest me? [17:43] cfhowlett: does that mean Java is reinstalled on it? The jdk I mean [17:43] vga laptop to HDMI output...? [17:44] gaurav_SpringDev: just plug a hdmi cable from computer to TV?? [17:44] admin-g, no, LTS means Long Term Support. non LTS, 15.04, have a 9 month lifecycle. LTS has at least 3 years [17:44] does not work [17:44] gaurav_SpringDev, find a vga-hdmi adaper/kit [17:45] from 14.04 LTS has atleast 5 years [17:45] OerHeks : is it a software kit or hardware? [17:45] hardware [17:45] cfhowlett: and how would that make me able to back up my Java installation or anything else? [17:45] gaurav_SpringDev, false. xubuntu = 3 years [17:46] but I have a cable which takes vga input and gives HDMI output [17:46] Okay guys just got done installing it and my computer is rebooting arm [17:46] admin-g, you don't need LTS to backup ANYTHING. [17:46] which I am connecting [17:46] and no output is being displayed on the TV [17:47] cfhowlett: then why did someone tell me to use it when I asked that someone if there was a way to back up jdk installation dad [17:47] Uhh take the dad out haha [17:47] admin-g, you complained about frequent downloads. On LTS, you do not need to upgrade every 9 months, thus ... fewer downlods [17:48] how to get lts [17:48] admin-g, Hard to tell what your doing honestly, sounded to me like the hard drive space was tight, that is not a good thing, so I suggested a backup scenario is all. [17:48] ServerSage, download 14.04.3 [17:49] Hey. Im having some issues with remmina vnc connecting to my mac. It have worked flawlessly before, now though it refuses to connect to the mac. I've rebooted both systems but no difference. Anyone got some ideas? [17:49] Where is the system's default alacarte config in a 15.04? [17:49] cfhowlett: no I asked if there was a way to back up my Java and I also said that I am tired of having to download it every time I format my computer in case you wondered why I would want to back up my jdk installation [17:49] macskay, there is no default alacarte anymore [17:50] How does it populate then? [17:50] macskay, use unitytweak or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UnityLaunchersAndDesktopFiles [17:50] I've build a custom ubuntu with all my stuff in it, but when installing my home folders get flushed, meaninf all the alacarte settings are gone [17:51] i could back it up into my dotfiles-repo but yeah, would be neat to just tell the installation to use that file [17:51] "when installing my home folders get flushed" ... custom ubuntu ? [17:52] OerHeks, yeah I just installed all the packages i want into an ordinary ubuntu 15.04 installation and created a setup file with distroshare [17:52] now everytime i use that distro i get all the programs i want rom the beginning [17:52] *from [17:53] Oh, can't help you there, so you found the cause. [17:53] howdoes alacarte populate its menus in the first place, so when you don't have any settings [18:01] while connecting from VGA to HDMI output; it is showing no signal on the TV..??can anyone tell me? [18:04] Not sure if my flashing script is bad or if I'm just not doing something that I'm supposed to [18:08] ciao [18:13] Anyone fairly familiar with Remmina? [18:14] Bernzel: What if? [18:17] I am trying to install Ubuntu on an SSD separate from my Windows 7 SSD [18:17] Where should I install the bootlaoder? [18:17] On the Ubuntu SSD or Windows 7 SSD? [18:17] bekks Well if that is the case, what could possibly cause the software to stop connecting to my mac after weeks of successful usage? [18:17] DarkSector: On the boot disk. [18:17] well, I'd like to boot from the Ubuntu SSD, but grub says it's unable to install on ti [18:18] bekks ^ [18:18] Bernzel: Can you connect successfully with another client? [18:18] DarkSector: So whats the full error you get? [18:18] Boot loader install failed [18:18] Unable to install grub on /dev/sda [18:18] I have the windows boot loader on /dev/sdb [18:19] DarkSector: Then why are you trying to install it on sda? [18:19] DarkSector: You will not be able to dualboot automatically that way. [18:19] Ohh [18:19] Okay, so I had the wrong idea. I thought if I were to install it on /dev/sda, I could set boot priority [18:20] and grub would show up [18:20] and I would be able to select windows or Linux from there [18:20] DarkSector: Thats "manually setting boot order" and not "dual boot" :) [18:20] !dualboot | DarkSector [18:20] DarkSector: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [18:20] But say, I do want to use manual boot. I should be able to install grub on /dev/sda right? [18:20] In the script I am running there is a command like "fdisk /dev/$1 < My real question is, why can't I install it on /dev/sda [18:21] and then on multiple lines there are letters and then EOF [18:22] bekks , dont have any other clients to try on unfortunatly, I was hoping there was debugging/logging options to track the source of the problem? [18:23] Bernzel: You dont need other client computers. All you need is another program, so you can identify wether the issue is on the mac side, or on the remmina side. [18:26] bekks ah I see. X2 or what is it called? Same thing? [18:29] whats a good wm that is easy to configure? [18:29] tiling if possible [18:29] dynamic would be best [18:29] Caveman_: The one you install, most likely. [18:29] oh, ok [18:30] i didnt know if i3 was easy to configure [18:30] but im gonna try it out now thanks [18:30] There are a lot of other tiling wm as well. [18:30] bekks: thanks [18:30] like what [18:31] i heard some guys on 4chan saying i3 was the best [18:31] ello [18:33] hello guys i was wondering how to change the path of webstorm when i try to start it the computer gives me a alert window saying "could not launch " i went to that path toonly to be reminded that i moved my webstorm to another path [18:37] dd is not burning neither XP or 7. "Operational system not found". Anyone had similar results? [18:38] admin-g_, more a question for #ubuntu-server. likely you edit that new path, but webstorm is not an ubuntu package. so i find no manual [18:38] mancomunado: dd is not used to burn anything [18:39] akik +1 [18:40] mancomunado: what you want is k3b or brasero or cdrecord or wodim or growisofs [18:41] ello [18:41] ello [18:41] what is the cd/dvd burning program in unity?

What in the world are you trying to do ? [19:01] admin-g_, is webstorm kde software or is written for one of the desktops you removed? ie gnome [19:02] I'm trying to run a flashing script that is supposed to flash this Nvidia Jetson board but when it gets to the partitioning part it just has a bunch of errors [19:02] and only makes a 4.2 mb section and I can't figure out why [19:03] https://gitlab.com/jamesthomas/baserock-flashing-tools/blob/master/flashscripts/jetson-tk1-flash.sh [19:03] pauljw i dont think its spesified to any desktop but if you think so then i could try to install ubuntu-desktop again [19:03] Everything works fine until the board_partition() function [19:03] admin-g_, i had that same advice for you in mind :-D [19:03] In which I can't figure out what its doing [19:04] admin-g_, i don't know, i'm just thinking out loud. lots of things load drivers and paths according to the environment they're installed under [19:04] OerHeks, pauljw nope i never uninstalled ubuntu-desktop so it should work [19:04] okay admin-g_ was just a guess [19:05] pauljw i just wanted to tell you [19:05] admin-g_, you uninstalled kubuntu desktop, so check again if that firestorm is still there. [19:06] admin-g: if you lunch a script from a full path it work? [19:06] OerHeks if i did that i wouldnt be using kubuntu right now i am not understanding what you are saying [19:07] Bashing-om: Would you like to see the output? [19:07] trusty - does it have avlib (or libav, or whatever the new ffmpeg is called?)

[19:09] hell to everyone)) [19:10] typing error ray1 sorry :( [19:10] it's ok. just joking [19:10] gaurav_SpringDev, Cannot directly connect VGA output to HDMI input without a specialised Analog-To-Digital converter [19:10] whois [19:11] kadiro: right. thanks. [19:11] admin-g_: don't worry about version and name you can put any value for theme [19:11] * kadiro some one insult us O_o [19:12] you welcome CarlFK [19:12] TJ_on_Wily : I have brought up a cable which takes vga input and gives HDMI output [19:12] TJ_on_Wily :but when connecting to a HDMI device; it is showing me no signal [19:13] do I stille need a converter? [19:13] i think u should use converter [19:13] a small circuit analog to digital do a staff [19:14] Walkerdine: "WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdf'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted." Here is the rub. the script was written for MSDOS partitioning, and seems you have GPT. 'fdisk' does not support GPT. The tool to cope with GPT is 'gdisk' . [19:14] gaurav_SpringDev, It is not possible to use a passive cable; if the cable has an integrated D/A converter then it *might* work. You'd have to check the specifications of the cable's converter [19:14] yes gaurav_SpringDev if you are not experienced with electronic testing [19:15] that is quite okie...but when I am plugginn in the cable; even xrandr is not showin up the connected devices;don't you think that atleast xrandr should show me the output.... [19:16] even if the cable is not supporting [19:16] gaurav_SpringDev, No [19:16] VGA output is being bradcasted already [19:16] *broadcasted [19:16] kadiro in the file i wrote "terminal=false" but whn i open it up it opens with terminal why is that?? [19:16] gaurav_SpringDev, VGA to DVI-I will work, but no VGA to DVI-D or HDMI or DisplayPort [19:17] gaurav_SpringDev, If the PC has a DVI-D that can directly connect to HDMI [19:18] gaurav_SpringDev, some hdmi devices must be enabled on the machine before boot. might worth a look [19:18] admin-g: because you use under it a script or the script it self open some command needed from terminal [19:18] yes, I use a DVI to HDMI , works well [19:19] so TJ_on_Wily : if the pc has DVI-D; then? [19:19] kadiro but my phpstorm doesnt do that it just opens up with no terminal [19:19] DVI-D and HDMI both use identical digital signals. The only difference is that HDMI also carries audio [19:19] well im ashamed, i just posted getting ubuntu on to my laptop on craigslist === shroud is now known as Guest99930 [19:19] and how to check if the PC is equipped with DVI-D? [19:19] DVI also carries audio [19:19] DVI-I carries analog signals identical to VGA, which is why that works too [19:20] thanks for the info man...how to check if the PC is equipped with DVI-D? [19:20] admin-g: in desktop change Exec=... with Exec=bash -c '...' [19:21] * onepolar away got to go a few hours [19:21] TJ_on_Wily: my DVI to HDMI connection carries the digital audio from spdif as well , but it depends on your graphics catrd [19:22] BluesKaj, No the DVI standard does not include audio. There are some adapters that use a DVI connector but it outputs standard HDMI packets, which include audio [19:23] Old winuser switching to ubuntu and liking it.. however, would very much like to use terminal more then gui and asking for a good reference point to learn commands. There are tons of material out there, but wondering if there is one more liked then others.. [19:24] TJ_on_wily : how to check if my PC is equipped with DVI-D or not? === user is now known as Guest57966 [19:24] well, it can tell you that it works here, TJ_on_Wily , perhaps not std , but it loops back from my rv to my audio receiver [19:25] hello linux ppl :) [19:25] im trying to become one too slowly [19:25] so BluesKaj : can you tell me how to check if pc is equipped with DVI-d or not? [19:26] v [19:26] oops, sorry. I'd say look @ the back where the connectors are? [19:28] I don have the one [19:28] gaurav_SpringDev: you can check what connector you have on the gfx card [19:28] so what would I have to do now; BlueKaj? [19:28] user manual then [19:28] or tech specs on a webpage if you have model/ part name [19:28] guess I am lacking +v [19:28] gaurav_SpringDev: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface#/media/File:DVI_Connector_Types.svg [19:28] gaurav_SpringDev: you hasve to test it to find out out. I had no indication at first til I checked my audio output fro my tv sources [19:29] +1 [19:29] gaurav_SpringDev: : what motherboard/ graphics card? [19:29] How do I get fdisk the option to create GPT partitions [19:29] Walkerdine: instead of fdisk use gdisk [19:30] I'm running a script that uses fdisk though [19:30] do not have graphics card [19:30] I'm supposed to be able to just run it [19:30] I've now a working WLAN (RTL8723BE). I removed the hard block by adding the line 'blacklist rtl8723be' in /etc/modprobe.d/fbdev-blacklist.conf, and now see 2 devices instead of 4 devices in rfkill, but WLAN works. _BUT_ my keyboard airplane key to enable/disable WLAN manually doesn't work anymore. Any idea for me? [19:30] but its says the g command is not recognized [19:31] pretty sure fdisk doesn't support gpt [19:31] sstra: There is no one size fits all .. A great place to start : http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Text-Terminal-HOWTO.html#toc17 .

[19:33] yeh [19:33] jamie : but no HDMI port is there [19:33] Realtek only provides Windows drivers [19:33] It's jus a vga port out here [19:33] Walkerdine: You can not do GPT with a MSDOS tool . I do suggest that you go back to your susouce and see if there is a script supporting GPT . Or get twith the author of the script and see what can be workd out . By this time I would assume there has been a mod made to support GPT partitioning . === ragnar is now known as Guest78545 [19:36] Bashing-om: fdisk is a linux tool [19:36] admin-g_: try the path from terminal to see what's happen [19:36] jamie : no DVI port present [19:36] jamie : http://icecat.in/en/p/vendorName/psc2ug-00p001/notebooks-C640-X4012-14356765.html [19:38] akik: Yes it is .. to support a particular partitioning scheme (MSDOS/MBR) The error here is in reguards to GPT partitioioning. Other tools are required supporting GPT . [19:38] akik: like said Bashing-om you need to use gdisk to fix GPT problem [19:40] help. is there any app i can use to sync files to mega and skydrive? [19:41] and also download of course [19:41] skydrive don't have linux client?

[19:47] phayalz, I'm not sure that's possible unless you use screen? maybe someone else knows how [19:47] No gui so no need to use amouse [19:47] I use tmux for window management [19:47] ctrl+alt+1 [19:47] ctrl+alt+f1 * [19:47] phayalz: you can use mouse in the console if you install the gpm package [19:48] beaky still showing bash when i echo $SHELL [19:48] ctrl+alt+f1 doesnt seem to ne doing ti for me [19:48] but it did ask for a password [19:48] dm_comp: log out and log in again [19:49] I will try out gpm thanks!

I need something which is compact and can supply me good video feed using usb (1080p + 60fps would be nice) [19:51] phayalz, You use ctr-a to start the command sequence. Then press esc, your cursor will move in any direction. Press enter to select text, move to where you want to end the highlight, press enter again. -- copies to buffer. Then ctr-a and then } will paste [19:51] if you use screen [19:51] beaky: when I exit it close my terminal. It's okay, I'm reading How Linux Works 2ed and this is only for practice. thanks anyways! [19:52] Oh okay, I really like tmux but this gpm, thanks akik [19:53] bash: logout: not login shell: use `exit' [19:53] not a big deal :) [19:54] kadiro instead i took the path php storm use and changed the end to the webstorm and it worked XD [19:55] I'm trying to boot my laptop that has Ubuntu, but it opens an OS selection, and when I choose Ubuntu, it tells me that "The system is running in low-graphics mode".

[20:06] How can I install php without installing apache2? [20:06] hey [20:07] ubuntu528: ^^ to use pastebin ; ' sudo apt-get install pastebinit ' and direct to the site with ' lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 vga | pastebinit ' the result is a URL back in terminal. Pass that link back here . [20:07] Bashing-om: Ah. [20:07] ubuntu528: (not to know is not a sin) we were all new at one time .

[20:12] I did a make install of it [20:13] I screwd up mount and probaly alot of other things [20:13] Bashing-om: I think I found a workaround, by invoking Emacs and *trying* to get to the terminal trough there. [20:13] So I could paste the results. [20:14] ubuntu528: The command works for me as is - http://paste.ubuntu.com/12225116/ - . Did you install the tool ?

Life will be much simpler if this tool is available to use . [20:19] Bashing-om: Uh... what excactly do you mean by 'positive result'? I did the command, it gave me a huge wall of text.

[20:45] IDJ: if you execute free you will see the amount of swap space you have [20:45] Bashing-om: So, should I get Lubuntu? [20:46] IDJ: it should correlate with the size of your sda5 partition [20:46] Demon_Jester no opinions here, type /j ##linux for general linux questions [20:46] MonkeyDust, ok thanks [20:46] ubuntu528: I do like performance.

Do I just download through the app from the original device?? [20:46] akik: ok [20:46] Hey, just super quick question before I look into this, how easy do you guys think it would be to write a program that makes an overlay graphic when a button is pressed? [20:47] jeffrey_f: what is spideroak and where did you get it [20:47] Well, and then toggle it on and off with the button pressed [20:47] ubuntulog2: Get lubuntu : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu . [20:48] Ben64: It's a paid, internet backup solution. Works well, but getting the data from/to another system is a little tricky [20:48] jeffrey_f: then talk to their support [20:48] Berry this is a support channel, no dev channel [20:49] MonkeyDust: Oh, right. My bad. [20:49] jeffrey_f: not really ubuntu related but setup your sync folder on your new comp and it will sync the data from the cloud to your new comp. make sure your old comp synced before doing so. [20:49] Demon_Jester: Check out : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements/ . On that low spec hardware lubuntu Might work . [20:50] That sounds like a better option.

[21:28] DarkSector deleting zeitgeist improved my unity performance [21:29] MonkeyDust, are you sure? I thought there was always a debate between screen and another program, like android vs apple phones. [21:29] My lag crops up only when it tries to do super user task [21:29] So I guess it's the file manager [21:29] Demon_Jester i use screen as we speak [21:29] Does Unity use nautilus?

I installed 14.04 for development, and the built-in video worked fine until a recent update (just your regular old GUI-prompt update). I've tried apt-get purge nvidia-*. Can only log into shell by setting grub loader to "text". Not sure where to go next. Help appreciated [21:37] is it possible to make my built in sd card reader bootable so i could run a live version? [21:38] whologin i know one way, but it requires an installed ubuntu [21:38] ok [21:39] whologin: From that terminal try : ' sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' to install the recommended graphic's driver . [21:49] Bashing-om: was that comment meant for whologin or me? Because it helped me to at least get the login screen working again, but after login the screen flashes weird patterns, the drums beat and it goes back to login page [21:49] alright fellas i really need some help here [21:50] what i think happened was i unmounted all my drives, and now when booting it says "error: unknown filesystem" [21:50] "Entering rescue mode..." [21:50] grub rescue> [21:51] kuju: Ooopps, must be cross eyed here . the suggestion was for you . [21:52] Bashing-om: Thanks! It made some progress for me at least, haha. Any suggestions on how to get past the login page loop? [21:54] kuju: Depends on the cause . Sometimes it is the graphics driver . Try and reboot the system ? Do you own the files in yout /home ? A loss of authorization to access /home will also cause the looping . [21:54] yout/your* [21:55] Bashing-om: Read/write access to /home is ok. Reboot yielded same result [21:57] Bashing-om: At one point I tried downloading the graphics driver straight from NVidia following these steps (http://askubuntu.com/questions/526668/how-do-i-use-nvidia-gtx-860m-with-14-04) and found that my machine's /usr/lib/nvidia/pre-install is preventing it.

[22:04] Bashing-om: No worries, I didn't follow through with the install. I figured the pre-install fail was put there for good reason. Though in an earlier attempt I did try an apt-get install nvidia-current, and subsequently did an apt-get --purge nvidia-* [22:08] kuju: Have you at some point done the no-no ' sudo startx' ?? === zoltan_ is now known as Guest1868 [22:09] Bashing-om: Nope.

[22:16] MonkeyDust: I'm looking for something that will run on Ubuntu but send the output to my Windows X Server [22:16] TheRealSol "run on a remote windows pc", is what i read [22:17] MonkeyDust: np, I guess you missed the X Forwarding as the end [22:18] someone did suggest dmenu, but that works in a Terminal and I'm ideally look for something I can configure as a panel === skreen is now known as vinyl_samurai [22:25] Hi! [22:26] allo [22:26] I wanted to add the kernel ppa in Ubuntu 15.04, but it won't update. [22:26] I know that it's not for official use, but I'd like to activate and use full GPU. [22:26] Any fix to that? [22:26] I have a brand new laptop with Optimus graphics. [22:27] Hybrid graphics. [22:27] !mainline [22:27] The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [22:27] Intel with Nouveau when it comes to drivers. [22:27] kuju: OK; back .. Let's get the pre-requisites out of the way . pastebin ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ; la -al /home/ ; ls -al /home/ ' . See where we go from here . [22:28] genii: Is it possible to use http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.0-vivid/ as a third party mirror in Ubuntu? [22:29] Umeaboy: optimus now-a-days is controlled by nvidia-prime . nvidia-prime should install by default when the proprietary driver is installed . [22:29] I did add the ppa. [22:29] What is a good temperature for a i7 quad core under normal load on ubuntu 14.04 unity? [22:30] vinyl_samurai: Why not upgrade to 15.04? [22:30] It's released as stable. [22:30] Umeaboy, you don't need a kernel, just the driver tool, no PPA at all. [22:30] Or are you using 14.04 as a server? [22:30] OK. [22:30] Umeaboy: http://askubuntu.com/questions/160535/how-do-i-add-the-mainline-kernel-ppa [22:30] Umeaboy: small home server [22:31] Umeaboy: You do not need a PPA to install Nvidia drivers, the proprietary drivers are available in the software repository . [22:31] Umeaboy: seems that the active one, that would gives you some updated packages will be "ppa:kernel-ppa/pre-proposed" [22:31] vinyl_samurai, check the manufacturor for temp specs. and your mobo settings. [22:31] bprompt: Right. [22:31] brrrr pre-prposed... [22:32] Bashing-om: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12225756/ [22:32] kuju: Look'n at http://paste.ubuntu.com/12225756/ . [22:32] Umeaboy: No, the mainline builds are purposely made to be manually installed by deb file only [22:32] vinyl_samurai install lm-sensors, then type this to monitor the temperature and know the critical value watch -n 1 sensors [22:33] kuju: All I see that is adverse is " ii bbswitch-dkms " . Was BumbleBee installed at some point ? [22:34] The reason that I choose to use a newer untested kernel is to see if the nouveau driver issue has been fixed upstream. [22:36] Bashing-om: Not to my knowledge. But if it's there maybe I pasted a suggested line from a SO page [22:37] Is there still files so you can update packages on ubuntu 13.04 [22:37] Umeaboy: You may want to try first instead to use the xorg-edger PPA before trying to manually install a mainline kernel [22:38] Hola [22:38] Viseion: no [22:38] Viseion: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2014/01/28/ubuntu-13-04-raring-ringtail-end-of-life-reached-on-january-27-2014/ [22:38] !es | Gghh [22:38] Gghh: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés.

[22:40] i would reinstall. [22:40] Viseion: 13.04 repositories have been archived now to old-releases.ubuntu.com [22:40] my cd drive broke [22:41] ( 13.10 has not, yet, but soon will be also) [22:41] and nothing will install because it says this package requires installation from unauthenticated sources [22:41] kuju: Just looks out of place to me . Not accustomed to seeing it in a nvidia output. To play it safe, lets purge all and start again . ' sudo apt-get purge bumble* nvidia* ' And again install the driver ' sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' . Reboot and we see what we got . At a later time we remove those old 304 config files . [22:42] how would i update it to 13.10 [22:43] !eolupgrade [22:43] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [22:44] Bashing-om: after the purge, bbswitch-dkms remains. I'll still try the ubuntu-drivers autoinstall and see what happens [22:44] Viseion: See the second link that ubottu just gave, above [22:44] kuju: K; doing some research at this time as to what bbswitch is . [22:45] Bashing-om: Thanks for the help :) === vinyl_samurai is now known as skreen [22:48] which fonts do you guys prefer? [22:48] kuju: Well, not sure what is going on as " apt-cache show bbswitch-dkms >> Suggests: bumblebee " . I can believe that bbswitch conflicts with 'nvidia-prime' but, I do not know this for a fact . [22:49] Bashing-om: Strange. Not sure what put it there. Well, I've purged, re-installed drivers and rebooted. Same error. [22:50] kuju: Nope. we are good ! " apt-cache rdepends bbswitch-dkms " will work with either . [22:52] kuju: "Well, I've purged, re-installed drivers and rebooted. Same error." show me the error . See if I can see something there you do not (?) . [22:53] how to move the toolbar below [22:53] Hmm. Not sure that the rdepends command you gave me is supposed to do, but it appears to have 3 items listed: bbswitch-dkms:i386, bumblebee, and nvidia-prime. Bumblebee has a bar next to it, making it look highlighted. As for the "same error" I mentioned, it's that I try to log in, get the drums sound and a flashing screen, and get returned back to the login screen [22:54] Bashing-om: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12225944 is the contents of ~/.xsession-errors [22:55] kuju: Nothing so far is amiss that I can see. What desktop are you running ? We start the desktop from terminal and see what the system reports . Then see what the log file(s) has to tell us . === DanyG is now known as ertz [22:58] kuju: " update-notifier-crash " ??? .. what does the package manager advise from terminal ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ' . If the package manager is not happy we are in a world of hurt . [22:58] I'm running Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS. Not sure how to start the desktop from terminal or where the system would report that [22:58] could someone just tell me exactly how to upgrade from ubuntu 13.04 to 13.10 [22:59] Bashing-om: I tried ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ' yesterday, and had 0 changes. Same result today :S [22:59] kuju: I do know a little bit. We start the desktop from the terminal ' sudo service lightdm start ' . The log file we want to look at ' cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log ' . [23:01] kuju: Do not know then what the .xsessions advisory is all about then . Package manager is happy, we go on about our way and see why the GUI does not start . [23:01] K here's /var/log/Xorg.0.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12225998/ [23:02] Viseion: sudo apt-get update && sudo upgrade-manager [23:02] Or is it update-manager [23:02] Bashing-om: Sorry failing to ping you when I post [23:02] Well, try both.

[23:04] failed to download repository information check your internet connection [23:05] Viseion: As I think I've reiterated a few times to you now, you need to change your 13.04 repositories in your sources.list file to point to old-releases.ubuntu.com instead of whatever you have there currently. [23:05] how do i do that [23:05] sources.list is root [23:06] Viseion: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [23:06] kuju: "/boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-46-generic" Booting an old kernel, what is up with that ? Does ' sudo apt full-upgrade ' install the -62 kernel ? [23:07] it did nothing... [23:07] Viseion: After you've done that and saved the file: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [23:07] Viseion: After that: sudo do-release-upgrade [23:07] Bashing-om: Mm... It does not upgrade the kernel. Is that a package manager issue, then? [23:08] hi everyone [23:08] Viseion: Try gksu then instead of gksudo [23:08] did anyone has successfully undervolted a CPU under ubuntu 14.04? [23:09] I searched the web for a bit and it seems quite complex when compared to windows and we just open an app and thats it [23:10] it says it is not installed [23:10] Viseion: So then use the CLI editor instead: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [23:11] well when i took gk out and did sudo it worked [23:11] Viseion: Do not use only sudo with graphical applications [23:11] why not [23:12] ..but that is a lecture I don't have time or patience for right now... [23:12] !gksu [23:12] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [23:12] tip: next time create separate partition for /home then just reinstall every new version you like [23:12] saves you all the hassle with upgrading [23:14] ibus-warning.... i dont care about warnings [23:15] well the terminal is getting stuff from old-releases [23:16] kuju: Yikes !

Let's try and addess the xserver issue 1st . Let's try ' sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg ; sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg ; sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ' . See what the package manager advises ! [23:40] address* [23:44] Bashing-om: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12226273 [23:44] ok my error, I had linker definitions before object files in Makefile [23:44] kuju: Look'n at http://paste.ubuntu.com/12226273 . [23:47] kuju: Well, the plot thickens . Got to have that package . On my system " dpkg -l xserver-xorg >> ii xserver-xorg 1:7.7+1ubunt amd64 ' . Looks like we have to deal with libcheese7 before we can address the xserver. [23:48] Bashing-om: Aight. I love cheese [23:49] kuju: Let's do ' sudo apt-get purge libcheese7 ; sudo apt-get install libcheese7 ' . See how that effects the need to fix libcheese-gtk23 . Then maybe we can return to xserver . [23:50] this computer is mental [23:52] Bashing-om: Okay, I'm seeing the pattern here. We're systematically purging and re-installing this dependency from the leaves to the root [23:54] heyyyyyyyy everyone [23:54] Bashing-om: Good news! After refreshing libcheese7, the xserver-xorg reinstall worked [23:54] does anyone know how to make a usb drive bootable without downloading and programs on ubuntu 13.04 [23:55] startup disk creator [23:55] is that on ubuntu by default [23:56] should be [23:56] afaik [23:56] Bashing-om: Success now on installing the vivid packages you mentioned [23:56] Bashing-om: (but still on progress, stay tuned) [23:57] yay it is [23:57] kuju: Great .. I must be away for a short time . I will be back . [23:58] and if i take the ubuntu install iso file and put it on a usb drive will it start like a cd with it would [23:58] depends on your bios settings [23:58] how would i make it === rkv is now known as botz [23:58] like what settings [23:59] boot disk priority [23:59] need to be what [23:59] boot sequence [23:59] so usb boot first?
