[00:03] <Rocketeer_> Even more interestingly, when I connect speakers or headphones to the laptop dock, they also don't work, but external mice or keyboards work fine
[00:03] <TJ-> Rocketeer_: according to that DP1-2 isn't enabled
[00:04] <TJ-> Rocketeer_: You notice the '*' next to the eDP1 1920x1080 entry - that means the current mode. There is no current mode next to any DP1-2 modes. Try this: "xrandr --output DP1-2 --auto"
[00:05] <Rocketeer_> TJ: That made the external display work!
[00:05] <aZz7eCh> hmm... MATE... is it actually called "Ubuntu MATE" ?  if so, will it be an option on install of a default iso ?
[00:05] <TJ-> Rocketeer_: Yes, it wasn't enabled, only connected. Either your Display GUI config tool is lying, or you've misunderstood it and not enabled DP1-2
[00:06] <wileee> aZz7eCh, mate has their own website
[00:06] <k1l> aZz7eCh: yes it is ubuntu mate with own isos
[00:06] <Rocketeer_> TJ: But in mirrored mode only, even when the gui "mirror displays" box is unchecked
[00:07] <TJ-> Rocketeer_: maybe that is all the GPU/dock supports?
[00:07] <TJ-> Rocketeer_: show me "xrandr -q" again now
[00:07] <k1l> aZz7eCh: since 14.10 you could install mate-desktop-environment as the metapackage
[00:08] <Rocketeer_> TJ: They weren't mirrored in the guest login though, and I've never had problems of this sort before GPU wise
[00:09] <Rocketeer_> TJ: Now outputs: http://pastebin.com/CbxgB2MR
[00:11] <Lz1> chat about the truth at #nigggers (freenode's only ban-free zone)
[00:18] <TechTonics> does anyone know how to setup a usb to vga adaptor ?
[00:19] <TJ-> Rocketeer_: which side of the laptop screen is the external monitor
[00:19] <TechTonics> the left
[00:20] <WednesdayFin> Rocketeer_, at least gnome has a graphical display driver
[00:20] <WednesdayFin> you can drag displays from there
[00:20] <TechTonics> i'm already using an external monitor on the right and got an usb to vga adaptor for the second external
[00:20] <WednesdayFin> guess its the same with unity
[00:21] <WednesdayFin> ahh i see
[00:21] <TJ-> Rocketeer_: "xrandr --output DP1-2 --left-of eDP1"
[00:21] <Rocketeer_> TJ: Physically it's on the left, in the guest login it acted as if it was on the right.
[00:22] <WednesdayFin> guess they sell usb to vga adaptors with proper drivers ready
[00:23] <Rocketeer_> TJ: That worked! Thank you!
[00:23] <TechTonics> well that is part of it i havn't installed any drivers yet .. the company doesn't have any linux drivers it looks like
[00:24] <TJ-> Rocketeer_: I think the GUI Display config tool maybe isn't helping you here... would it let you drag 'monitors' to their required position?
[00:25] <WednesdayFin> TJ-, in gnome it does the job, xrandr is a hell to use
[00:26] <TJ-> TechTonics: does the kernel's DisplayLink driver recognise the adapter?
[00:26] <WednesdayFin> or at least more difficult
[00:26] <TJ-> WednesdayFin: I disagree; I love xrandr command-line... Let's me control the server in ways no GUI applet allows
[00:26] <WednesdayFin> true that
[00:27] <WednesdayFin> i just had issues with xrandr + nvidia
[00:27] <TJ-> WednesdayFin: I have 4 X screens... 2 of which are rotated, but the server miscalculates the DPI as a result so I have to use --fbmm to correct for it
[00:27] <WednesdayFin> which gpu?
[00:27] <TJ-> WednesdayFin: I use it with nvidia (1 mGPU and 2 external GPUs), never had a problem.
[00:28] <WednesdayFin> with optimus?
[00:28] <rocketeer2> TJ: I can't find the other IRC window I have open, but yes, I can change sides with the GUI tool
[00:28] <TJ-> WednesdayFin: No! I wouldn't touch that with a barge pole!
[00:28] <WednesdayFin> TJ-, got a laptop, only optimus cards available from nvidia
[00:28] <TJ-> rocketeer2: As long as you log-out the session without crashing the user config should retain the display layout and use it next time you log in
[00:29] <TJ-> WednesdayFin: Same here; mobile  8600M GT + external Quadro NVS420
[00:29] <rocketeer2> TJ: thanks so much, I'll reboot and make sure it still works!
[00:29] <WednesdayFin> people won't believe the shit you run into, deleted and reinstalled x after shitty autoconfigs like three times
[00:29] <TJ-> rocketeer2: OK, but to test you should only need to log-out... that restarts the X server
[00:30] <WednesdayFin> TJ-, so the 8600M GT is your default gpu?
[00:30] <WednesdayFin> my default is sandy bridge
[00:30] <TJ-> WednesdayFin: I run 6 1920x1200 monitors over 4 X screens on 3 GPUs
[00:31] <WednesdayFin> sweet
[00:32] <Rocketeer> TJ: it retained settings! I've very happy about it!
[00:32] <WednesdayFin> i run a 1378x768 laptop screen with 32" telly on hdmi
[00:32] <TJ-> WednesdayFin: That's Hybrid/Optimus though;
[00:32] <TJ-> Rocketeer: I thought it would
[00:33] <WednesdayFin> TJ-, still got the secondary gpu's working fine?
[00:33] <TJ-> TechTonics: I know we've successfully helped several users configure USB DisplayLink devices
[00:33] <TJ-> WednesdayFin: I've never had any problems with it over several releases and kernel versions.
[00:34] <WednesdayFin> TJ-, my gcc threw a version incompatibility warning...
[00:35] <WednesdayFin> when compiling drivers from source
[00:35] <TJ-> WednesdayFin: using DKMS packages?
[00:35] <WednesdayFin> yeah
[00:35] <Rocketeer> This is a much less important problem, but sound through the dock doesn't work either. That I can totally live with
[00:35] <TJ-> Rocketeer: check the device isn't just muted
[00:35] <WednesdayFin> ẗhe autoconfig is broken
[00:35] <TJ-> Rocketeer: also, check the device is found in "/var/log/kern.log" when the dock connects
[00:36] <WednesdayFin> overwrites working shit with corrupted log files
[00:36] <TJ-> !language | WednesdayFin
[00:36] <WednesdayFin> ok sry
[00:36] <TJ-> WednesdayFin: what is a 'corrupted log file' ? Your statement makes no sense without explanation
[00:36] <Rocketeer> TJ: It plays through laptop speakers though, and when the external speakers are plugged into the laptop jack, everything works fine.
[00:37] <WednesdayFin> TJ-, the drivers own autoconfig script overlaps with system autoconfig
[00:37] <TJ-> Rocketeer: The thing is, some docks have an additional audio chipset whereas others just pipe additional outputs from the internal laptop chipset
[00:38] <Rocketeer> TJ: Aug 31 17:37:11 peter-PC kernel: [  421.784385] hid-generic 0003:17EF:304E.0009: input,hidraw2: USB HID v1.00 Device [C-Media Electronics Inc. ThinkPad OneLink Pro Dock Audio] on usb-0000:00:14.0-3.1.4/input3
[00:38] <TechTonics> does anyone have any ideas on finding a driver that will work for a usb 2 vga adaptor?
[00:38] <TJ-> WednesdayFin: For what driver specifically? I'm not aware of any DKMS package that uses autoconf
[00:38] <TJ-> TechTonics: I know we've successfully helped several users configure USB DisplayLink devices - what is the device ID?
[00:38] <mota> I'm building an Ubuntu 14 livecd for the purpose of benchtesting and detecting failed or dodgy hardware. Seeking suggestions about packages to include.
[00:39] <WednesdayFin> TJ-, can't remember, the newest for 540M, already purged the installations
[00:39] <ikonia> if you don't know what to include on your own test build - thats your issue
[00:39] <ikonia> we don't support your personal custom spins
[00:39] <WednesdayFin> I'm running with the Sandy Bridge currently
[00:39] <TechTonics> TJ: how do i find out?
[00:39] <mota> Didn't ask for support; asked for suggestions, ikonia
[00:40] <TJ-> Rocketeer: OK, so that looks like an additional USB audio device... So in the Audio Mixer controls you should find there is an additional device, and you may need to increase its playback priority to make it preferred. Alternatively, in the PulseAudio output control you can right-click on an active playback stream and choose "Move" and select the dock's audio device
[00:40] <ikonia> mota: its your buid - your choice, nothing to do with this channel
[00:40] <TJ-> TechTonics: Start with "lsusb" - pastebin the results for us
[00:40] <OerHeks> mota, benchtesting with a live cd is useless, and detecting hw failures use UBcd  http://askubuntu.com/questions/109935/are-there-any-hardware-diagnostic-tools
[00:41] <mota> have you tried ubcd? I have; it's imho horrible and outdated
[00:41] <god_phantom> !lsusb
[00:42] <OerHeks> oh, nive attitude towards ikonia, mota. and yes, i did, with success.
[00:42] <god_phantom> what's a key excellent way for me to get involved in open source?  i know bugs solving is tremendous and help is always needed; but how would i duplicate the problem on my own machine to try & troubleshoot?
[00:43] <WednesdayFin> god_phantom, unit testing modules, i don't know
[00:43] <ikonia> god_phantom: most bugs explain the problem
[00:43] <TJ-> WednesdayFin: Support for Optimus rather depends on the output architecture. Originally everything used a multiplexer (MUX) to switch the outputs between the 2 GPUs, but the manufacturers wanted to save more money so removed the multiplexer so we now have MUX-less. I remember reading in the nvidia-prime notes it does NOT support MUX-less systems, although that might have changed very recently.
[00:43] <TechTonics> TJ: http://pastebin.com/fmsyEuc9
[00:43] <TechTonics> i assume it to be the #6.
[00:44] <WednesdayFin> TJ-, thank you, going to sleep now
[00:44] <TJ-> TechTonics: Agreed... so let's find out what that might be
[00:44] <mota> OerHeks: thanks for the input
[00:45] <Rocketeer> TJ: That worked, thanks a million!
[00:45] <TechTonics> TJ: Fresco Logic FL2000
[00:46] <WednesdayFin> don't really know if i have MUX-less hardware
[00:46] <WednesdayFin> need to check the motherboard manufacturer (asus) i guess
[00:48] <TJ-> TechTonics: not a lot of help unfortunately. The only entry in the PCI-ID database is the Vendor name, with no associated known Device IDs: "1d5c  Fantasia Trading LLC"
[00:50] <TJ-> TechTonics: can you "pastebinit <( lsusb --verbose -d 1d5c:2000 )"
[00:51] <TechTonics> TJ: http://pastebin.com/pPpDP8vF
[00:52] <TJ-> TechTonics: also, depending on which DL version the device is, have you seen/tried http://www.displaylink.com/downloads/ubuntu.php
[00:54] <CAPITANOOO> TJ-:  unable to find a medium containing a live file system
[00:55] <TJ-> CAPITANOOO: congratulations :)
[00:55] <CAPITANOOO> im lost
[00:56] <TJ-> CAPITANOOO: In older hardware that was a common issue; the CD/DVD device seemed to change its device node right under the installer as it was starting
[00:57] <TJ-> CAPITANOOO: I remember reporting that myself on some Dell server hardware in about 2007
[00:57] <knob> Hey guys... how can I set back the video driver, from the nVidia one, to the "generic" (open source?) one?   I want to do this via the command line.   I foobar'd the machine.  I select the nvidia driver, rebooted, and now she's in a loop when she starts x
[00:57] <daftykins> knob: sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
[00:58] <knob> daftykins, going to try that now... thank you.
[00:58] <knob> Will report back
[00:58] <crazyhorse> i've lost a window on my screen, how can i get it back into the main area?
[00:59] <daftykins> crazyhorse: right click move perhaps
[00:59] <daftykins> which DE?
[00:59] <crazyhorse> unity
[00:59] <crazyhorse> 15.04
[00:59] <crazyhorse> right click, is not on there
[01:00] <crazyhorse> heh
[01:00] <mota> Is there a CLI way to lock applications to the Unity dock?
[01:00] <crazyhorse> so crap.. i had to change the resolution
[01:00] <knob> daftykins, thank you!  I was able to get back into X just fine.
[01:00] <knob> Now to try and fix the mess I did =)
[01:01] <crazyhorse> mota: yeah there is, i've done it before.. you edit a file..
[01:01] <nahtnam> How can i enable gtk3?
[01:01] <nahtnam> or switch to it?
[01:01] <nahtnam> Apparently its installed by default
[01:01] <daftykins> knob: which card do you have?
[01:02] <mota> crazyhorse: you wouldn't happen to remember which file would you?
[01:02] <knob> daftykins, I have to check.  It's a "nothing impressive".  Cost like 40$ at TigerDirect.  I don't do gaming so...
[01:03] <knob> Where I went wrong was that I have two monitors.  The main one, I started driving it from the motherboard's HDMI.   Then the second one via the video card.  Yet something was off (I think it was that the second monitor had an "extension" of the primary monitor - and then the cursor would "jump" into the primary monitor).
[01:03] <knob> That's when I started playing with the drivers and broke it
[01:04] <TJ-> TechTonics: I've extracted that DisplayLink driver download, it includes a DKMS kernel module as well as pre-built binary drivers for the X server - my concern is that the libusb will replace/overwrite the system installed version, so be careful
[01:05] <daftykins> knob: run "lspci" and paste the output to http://paste.ubuntu.com
[01:05] <TechTonics> TJ: ok so taht would mean that i could lose my current dispay?
[01:05] <nahtnam> Anyone?
[01:05] <nahtnam> How can I switch from unity to gtk3?
[01:05] <nahtnam> I ran sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev but it says that its already installed
[01:06] <daftykins> nahtnam: those sound like two confused terms to me
[01:06] <daftykins> do you mean unity the DE?
[01:06] <nahtnam> daftykins: Yes
[01:06] <knob> paste.ubuntu.com/12242318
[01:06] <knob> there daftykins
[01:06] <daftykins> knob: ok so Geforce 210
[01:06] <knob> Let me know if I can get any other info!
[01:06] <daftykins> knob: do you know which driver you tried to select last time?
[01:07] <kadiro> !desktop | nahtnam
[01:07] <knob> daftykins, yes... sec, and I will tell you....
[01:08] <nahtnam> kadiro: http://snwh.org/paper/theme/ On this page, it makes the distinction between gtk and unity. I want to use the gtk version of it
[01:08] <knob> NVIDIA binary driver - version 304.76 from nvidia-340-updates (propietary)
[01:09] <daftykins> knob: too old a version that i would say, try 346
[01:10] <kadiro> nahtnam: it's new for me but look like just a theme
[01:11] <knob> daftykins, ok!  Updating it now
[01:11] <nahtnam> kadiro: Its a beautiful one! I think I need to install "Gnome"
[01:11] <TJ-> TechTonics: No, but the libusb if it over-writes the current library - instead of installing the new stuff under /usr/local/ - might cause unexpected USB weirdness.
[01:11] <knob> daftykins, do I update via... the Software Center?
[01:12] <kadiro> nahtnam: ok good luck, in your place i will choose gnome2 and not gnome3
[01:12] <knob> Or adding the ppa?
[01:12] <OerHeks> maybe the !notunity factoid is still valid
[01:12] <TJ-> TechTonics: but I'd think it is worth trying; as long as you're aware you can always reinstall the package manager's libusb-X.Y.Z package
[01:12] <daftykins> knob: whichever method you want, the hardware drivers wizard would be useful - or just "sudo apt install nvidia-346"
[01:13] <knob> Doing that last one ^^  =)
[01:13] <TechTonics> ok thanks
[01:13] <knob> updating in a bit... have to download 311MB... connecting a little bit slow
[01:13] <TJ-> TechTonics: let us know if it does work... be good to know for others
[01:14] <TechTonics> TJ : will do it's building now ..
[01:15] <TechTonics> TJ: ya think i should reboot?
[01:17] <Shadow> does anyone know how to use MPD
[01:17] <daftykins> it's a server portion, you install MPD and feed it a folder of music iirc, then you run mpc and connect to localhost and play it
[01:18] <ShadowPony> ha
[01:18] <ShadowPony> any one good with icecast
[01:19] <TJ-> TechTonics: I'd unplug/replug the device first
[01:20] <knob> daftykins, now I borked something... hmm...
[01:20] <knob> it threw various lines of bbswitch
[01:20] <knob> as if it was trying... then dropped my into the command line  (this was after a reboot)
[01:29] <TechTonics> TJ: no change
[01:31] <TJ-> TechTonics: that is disappointing. Let me look at the DL kernel module source; see how it recognises the device
[01:32] <TechTonics> TJ: thanks
[01:34] <TJ-> TechTonics: I don't see a udevd rule in that installer so maybe it needs to be manually handled. Can you do "lsmod | grep evdi" - if that shows nothing the module isn't loaded
[01:36] <TechTonics> TJ: true nothing was shown

[01:38] <aZz7eCh> Ubuntu MATE question:  how have i dragged the power button and calendar to the middle of my bar ?? speakers and messages icons still sitting to the right
[01:40] <TJ-> TechTonics: OK, start with loading it: "sudo modprobe evdi"
[01:40] <TJ-> TechTonics: now check the kernel log in case it tells us it found the device: "sudo tail /var/log/kern.log"

[01:48] <TJ-> TechTonics: This is interesting though, although no solution for you: http://www.cy384.com/projects/fl2000dx-driver.html
[01:51] <TJ-> TechTonics: on the FrescoLogic support pages it says "For FL2000 in USB 2.0 mode, the maximum resolution is 800x600 only" ... I noticed your 'lspci --verbose' output shows the device is, or is in, a USB2.1 port

[01:54] <Reiny> Tj are u the real deal?
[01:55] <TJ-> TechTonics: There's no real point; that device is not going to work with Linux since the manufacturer provides no driver or technical data
[01:57] <TechTonics> TJ: grr well thank you for your help
[01:58] <TechTonics> TJ: should i remove the displaylink ?
[01:58] <TJ-> TechTonics: Yes, it might be a good idea to avoid future issues

[02:01] <mota> can anyone suggest a cli method for locking applications to the unity dock?

[02:02] <tv-guy> mota: I would doc a known app, then grep for it, and see where the config is installed and in what format
[02:02] <TJ-> TechTonics: ooo! I just noticed, that script does add a udev rule: /etc/udev/rules.d/99-displaylink.rules
[02:02] <mota> good idea, tv-guy, will try
[02:02] <TJ-> TechTonics: It is a *very* long shot but I think if we amend that to include the device you have, at least the DL driver may try to use it
[02:03] <tv-guy> mota: you might want to do that under a trash account in case you mess it up

[02:08] <tv-guy> I just got me a video capture card, and I see /dev/video0 but cheese and VLC do not play the content... help!
[02:08] <TJ-> TechTonics: OK, how about correcting that (although it won't help you) and adding another entry to the file that matches on your adapter?
[02:09] <TechTonics> ok
[02:09] <tv-guy> anyone know what they are doing around video? I think I have a config issue, but do not know where to start!?

[02:10] <TJ-> tv-guy: does the PC have a camera too (webcam) ?
[02:12] <tv-guy> TJ: Its a video capture card, and no it has no camera, the capture card has dual input so I am seeing /dev/video[01]

[02:13] <daftykins> .win 13
[02:13] <daftykins> oops
[02:13] <TechTonics> TJ: ahh ok well either gedit or kate either is good
[02:13] <TJ-> tv-guy: It may require firmware which isn't available to the system. Check "/var/log/dmesg" for clues if you haven't already
[02:13] <tv-guy> I like gedit
[02:14] <tv-guy> TJ: I got that installed, it sees my card, but I will check
[02:14] <TJ-> TechTonics: OK, well with Alt+F2 then do "gksudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/99-displaylink.rules"
[02:15] <tv-guy> TJ: cat /var/log/dmesg
[02:15] <tv-guy> (Nothing has been logged yet.)
[02:15] <TJ-> tv-guy: Have you tested the capture using vlc? If started from a terminal, VLC can be very verbose and informative

[02:16] <daftykins> archie: i think you can use it on the v2 yes
[02:16] <TJ-> TechTonics: OK, first replace ATTR{idVendor}=="179"   so it is 17e9
[02:17] <TechTonics> TJ: done
[02:17] <archie> is it the desktop version or a raspberry pi version
[02:17] <daftykins> archie: you have to get an ARM build
[02:17] <TJ-> TechTonics: then add a new line with "ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="1d5c", ATTR{idProduct}=="2000", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660"  "
[02:18] <TJ-> TechTonics: save the file. Unplug the USB device. Start a tail: "sudo tail -f /var/log/kern.log". Plug the device in... and pastebin all the errors if any :)
[02:19] <archie> alright kool! thanks for the info!
[02:20] <tv-guy> yea, I got plenty of data, not idea what I am looking for???
[02:20] <TechTonics> TJ: http://pastebin.com/st81BWEA
[02:21] <TechTonics> TJ: i didn't see any errors
[02:21] <tv-guy> TJ: in VLC it "plays" no errors, no output
[02:23] <TJ-> TechTonics: OK, that doesn't help if the kernel module doesn't pick it up. I think it's a lost cause
[02:24] <tv-guy> vidioc_s_frequency() No analog tuner, aborting???
[02:26] <TJ-> tv-guy: what capture adapter is it?
[02:27] <tv-guy> a haupage
[02:27] <tv-guy> TJ: I am not sure I understand the question
[02:27] <TJ-> tv-guy:  I was wanting to know the exact model number of the hardware so I can look it up
[02:28] <TJ-> tv-guy:  "lspci -nn" output for that device would also be excellent, since it gives the PCI ID
[02:29] <peter92> i am running ltsp 14.04 and i am trying to run fat clients i have followed the Ubuntu wiki yet clients are still booting from thin clients instead of fat clients and i am not sure how to debug the problem
[02:30] <tv-guy> TJ: Its a hauppauge WinTV-HVR 1150 http://pastebin.com/yRv9FZzS
[02:30] <Reiny> lol
[02:30] <choppin32> hi all
[02:30] <tv-guy> tj: oops hauppauge WinTV-HVR 2250
[02:31] <TJ-> tv-guy: OK, so the driver is saa7164
[02:32] <tv-guy> TJ: I think so... that sounds familure
[02:32] <TJ-> tv-guy: "modinfo saa7164" tells us quite a lot about it, including some kernel parameters that can alter its behaviour
[02:33] <peter92> how can i make sure that ltsp is handing out fat client images?
[02:33] <TJ-> tv-guy: can you do "pastebinit <( dmesg )" ?
[02:33] <OerHeks> the 1st answer looks old but should work http://askubuntu.com/questions/308695/help-with-hauppauge-wintv-hvr-2250-on-ubuntu-13-04
[02:34] <tv-guy> http://pastebin.com/4V9mFLkJ
[02:34] <skwishy> after doing an 'sudo apt-get install docker', and 'apt-file search docker' shows there should be a /usr/bin/docker, but that file doesn't exist, what can I check next?  'dpkg -l | grep docker' shows that it installed with a 'ii', so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here
[02:35] <tv-guy> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12242711/
[02:35] <Giordano> hey guys, I'm running "ubuntu/trusty64" with vagrant, and I can't execute scripts when I'm outside the folder the script is in. It gives me a message saying the file doesn't exist. Could someone give me a help?
[02:36] <daftykins> you need to add the script path to your $PATH
[02:36] <Giordano> The message is also prepended with :
[02:37] <TJ-> tv-guy: ok, line 897  shows "CORE saa7164[0]: subsystem: 0070:f111, board: Hauppauge WinTV-HVR2200 [card=5,insmod option]"
[02:37] <tv-guy> Gior: some scripts expect files to be in pwd, so if you run them from another location they cant find the files they need
[02:37] <tv-guy> TJ: OK
[02:38] <tv-guy> TJ: so?
[02:38] <Giordano> daftykins:but I wanna specify the path to the script, for example : I'm in ~ and file is in ~/bin/script.sg I could do $~/bin/script.sh
[02:38] <TJ-> tv-guy: firmware looks good: "saa7164_downloadfirmware() Waiting for firmware upload (NXP7164-2010-03-10.1.fw)" ... "saa7164_downloadfirmware() firmware loaded"
[02:38] <daftykins> Giordano: and you're saying that's what doesn't work?
[02:38] <Giordano> tv-guy:I don't think that is the case for this one, I'm trying to run rspec
[02:38] <TJ-> tv-guy: but unfortunately, starting at line 969 there are errors: £tveeprom 6-0000: Encountered bad packet header [00]. Corrupt or not a Hauppauge eeprom."
[02:38] <Giordano> daftykins: yes!
[02:39] <daftykins> Giordano: do they have execute permissions?
[02:39] <Giordano> daftykins: yes, I have
[02:39] <tv-guy> TJ: one scond you said 5?
[02:39] <Giordano> file is 777 since is in windows
[02:39] <daftykins> wat
[02:39] <daftykins> what do you mean 'in windows' ?
[02:39] <TJ-> tv-guy: 5 what?
[02:40] <Giordano> I'm running ubuntu inside vagrant, using a virtual machine with shared folders
[02:40] <tv-guy> TJ: card number
[02:40] <daftykins> nevermind i have to cook.
[02:40] <tv-guy> TJ: never mind thats what I have in the config
[02:41] <Giordano> daftykins: the odd thing is that if I go inside the folder and type the script name it works, but not outside the folder
[02:41] <tv-guy> TJ: In /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf that is
[02:41] <daftykins> pretty sure you've just got some script running basics to overcome there :P
[02:42] <skwishy> can dpkg show all the files for an installed package?
[02:42] <tv-guy> TJ: so what do I need to do next?
[02:43] <PC-LTSP> i have been running Edubuntu ltsp trusty taher. i tried switching from thin client to fat client by following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/FatClients but it didn't run the fat client and i'm not sure what else to edit
[02:43] <wileee> Giordano, you been here? #vagrant
[02:43] <Giordano> daftykins: Do you think the ':' at the beginning of the message saying the file does not exist has a meaning?
[02:43] <TJ-> tv-guy: have you done a completely *cold* boot of the PC, and did the card work when you did?
[02:43] <Giordano> wileee: yes, the channel is too quite, no one to help me
[02:44] <tv-guy> TJ: I did a cold boot, it looks like it should be playing but I get nothing
[02:44] <wileee> Giordano, cool, had not followed all the posts is all.
[02:44] <tt> so I just installed 15.04 with the encrypted LVM config option (the default "encrypt my stuff" one)
[02:44] <Giordano> I think my problem is somewhat related to a missing package
[02:44] <tt> and it is incessantly nagging me for the passphrase to unlock the swap partition even though it's already moutned
[02:45] <tt> (this is in the terminal window inside Software Updater!)
[02:45] <Giordano> but I have no idea what package
[02:46] <tv-guy> Gior: if you know what files are missing google the full path, you can often find the package from that
[02:46] <tv-guy> TJ: Ideas???
[02:46] <TechTonics> TJ: so how do i undo what i have done this far
[02:46] <crazyhorse18> i'm copying my photos off my laptop onto a harddrive using rsync, i'll then copy them from that drive to another drive using rsync... are there any santity checks i can do to guarantee they have all copied?
[02:47] <tv-guy> crazy: you could do a checksum
[02:47] <TJ-> tv-guy: The card isn't supported correctly, maybe a bug in the driver, or possibly the adapter itself
[02:47] <Giordano> tv-guy: I know where the file is, If I go to the folder I can execute the file, but I can't reference the file from outside the folder using the relative path to it and execute it
[02:47] <crazyhorse18> tv-guy, how do i do that?
[02:47] <crazyhorse18> tv-guy, and can you do checksums over gb's of files?
[02:47] <Giordano> tv-guy: like you usually do $ ./bin/script.sh
[02:48] <tv-guy> crazy: yep, look into md5sum
[02:48] <crazyhorse18> tv-guy, thanks checkin it out
[02:49] <TJ-> TechTonics: "sudo ./displaylink-installer.sh --help" ... looks like "uninstall"
[02:51] <Giordano> I think the problem is because files are in windows
[02:53] <daftykins> Giordano: oh so you're leaving them *on* Windows and running over the share? yeah that's not gonna be wise :P
[02:54] <archie> save
[02:54] <Giordano> daftykins: have any suggestions? I kind need those files in a shared folder because I need to edit them
[02:54] <daftykins> Giordano: no you just need to learn how to access a Linux host from Windows :)
[02:55] <daftykins> learn how to use SSH and SCP
[02:55] <daftykins> !scp
[02:56] <MaHLuKaT> hi all
[02:56] <Giordano> daftykins: well, since I'm working with web development, I kind need the files to reflect their changes as soon as possible
[02:56] <tt> q/w 24
[02:56] <tt> whoops
[02:57] <daftykins> Giordano: and since you work with web development, you need to learn how to do things properly.
[02:57] <daftykins> Giordano: don't be resistant to learning how to do your job properly :)
[02:57] <Giordano> daftykins: not being resistence, just trying to learn what I need to do
[02:58] <somsip> Giordano: can you explain again what the goal is?
[02:58] <daftykins> your wording suggests otherwise
[02:58] <OerHeks> nobody in webdevelopment touches the real file, you copy it and edit.
[02:58] <daftykins> be able to edit files from Windows when the files sit on the Linux VM, somsip :)
[02:58] <Giordano> I can do that daftykins
[02:59] <somsip> Giordano: so answer my question
[02:59] <Giordano> the problem is that I can't execute scripts using relative paths to those scripts inside my shared folders
[02:59] <crazyhorse18> Giordano, what language are you working with?
[02:59] <daftykins> i'm going to walk away now..
[02:59] <Giordano> ruby
[02:59] <crazyhorse18> Giordano, ok why are you editing your source code on a windows box?
[03:00] <somsip> Giordano: you want to share a file on a linux VM with a windows client and be able to execute them from the windows client?
[03:00] <crazyhorse18> are you mapping to a vm?
[03:00] <TechTonics> TJ: Thanks for all your help man!
[03:00] <Giordano> because my hardware does not run linux well (displaylink stuff)
[03:01] <crazyhorse18> Giordano, hmmm sounds like a very awkward setup
[03:01] <daftykins> crazyhorse18: +1
[03:01] <crazyhorse18> I just switched to using ubuntu as my desktop from windows
[03:01] <Giordano> somsip: I have my files sitting in a shared folder, a webserver inside the Ubuntu server VM to execute them. Port fowarding to send requests from host to guest. And I want to edit those files from windows
[03:02] <crazyhorse18> now ubuntu is no where near as polished as windows is, but it's almost impossible to get a stable development environement with all the tools you need under windows
[03:03] <somsip> Giordano: "share folder" means what? If it's ahred with windows, edit it in windows if you must. If it's shared between the VM and something else, SSH to the VM and edit there. But your approach is your problem.
[03:03] <crazyhorse18> Giordano: you could use winscp, i remember it has a file watch option
[03:03] <crazyhorse18> somsip, yeah but then he can't use his editor
[03:03] <somsip> crazyhorse18: so essentially, it's OT
[03:05] <Giordano> crazyhorse18: it is almost like if you were using aws
[03:06] <crazyhorse18> well not really
[03:06] <Giordano> crazyhorse18: almost
[03:06] <crazyhorse18> Giordano, you commit to the local git repo, tag a release, then deploy the release.. what you want is a development environement
[03:07] <Giordano> crazyhorse18: the ideia is to bring your production enviroment closer to the development enviroment and diminish the differences between machines from team mates, so you have less surprises when you deploy your code
[03:07] <somsip> Giordano: the problem here for me is that you're not defining the issue very well, not responding to my questions, and it seems very offtopic now. So that's it for me
[03:08] <daftykins> i think we have a case of someone not knowing how to use the tools at hand.
[03:08] <Giordano> daftykins: yeah, kind like that
[03:08] <crazyhorse18> Giordano, in that case, get rid of your windows computer, and install ubuntu
[03:09] <crazyhorse18> The only reason we use ubuntu for our desktop environment is so that it matches the server environment  ... and like you said, less problems, more likely to work
[03:09] <Giordano> crazyhorse18: I wish I could do that, but I'm not willing to use some drivers that I would need to use since they are in early development
[03:10] <crazyhorse18> you don't have an old desktop you could use?  i mean programming isin't exactly cpu intensive
[03:11] <Giordano> crazyhorse18: nope
[03:11] <Giordano> crazyhorse18: only one laptop with hardware without good drivers for linux =D
[03:11] <dunderproto> Is it possible to put Ubuntu on my smartphone? I have a Sony Xperia Z Ultra (C6806). I've been looking around at the Ubuntu Touch project and was wondering if that is the right project for me
[03:11] <daftykins> even setting up samba and sharing the cwd of the files to your windows host would probably work better - but the method is still absolutely insane and shows not knowing the industry
[03:12] <somsip> Giordano: your problem seems to be the shared folder. Find a different solution. init a git repo on the shared folder, and clone it on the VM. Then just push changes to it (this could be much more refined)
[03:12] <Giordano> daftykins: I do think vagrant is so insane?
[03:12] <Giordano> daftykins: why*
[03:13] <daftykins> your sentence doesn't make much sense
[03:13] <daftykins> i'm saying the way you're using your computer is :)
[03:13] <Giordano> daftykins: why do you think using vagrant is so insane?
[03:13] <daftykins> i never said vagrant was
[03:13] <somsip> !ot | Giordano (no longer anything to do with ubuntu support)
[03:14] <Giordano> somsip: ok, sorry
[03:14] <crazyhorse18> Giordano, check out winscp
[03:14] <crazyhorse18> Giordano, it's a bad idea though.. https://winscp.net/eng/docs/task_synchronize_full
[03:15] <somsip> Giordano: and go search for 'webdev windows vagrant' for better solutions for what you are trying to do
[03:15] <crazyhorse18> I strongly recommend you find a different solution
[03:31] <crazyhorse18> are there any drawbacks to using the exfat filesystem with ubutnu?
[03:33] <marjory> :(

[03:49] <lasers> Hi all. What's the ubottu command to find out the linux version for each Ubuntu version?
[03:50] <somsip> !brain | lasers
[03:50] <_andy_> @lasers Are you looking for the command for the Ubuntu version or the Linux kernel version?
[03:51] <daftykins> lasers: look it up online, don't hassle the bot for such information
[03:51] <lasers> _andy_: Linux kernel verison. Trying to find out what Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS is on.
[03:52] <Giordano> somsip: Sorry but I can't see why "user@arch:/shared_folder/bin $ test.rb" work and "user@arch:/shared_folder/ $ ./bin/test.rb" don't work. Could you explain to me?
[03:52] <_andy_> @lasers You can type uname -r to find the kernel version.
[03:52] <daftykins> lasers: it comes with 3.19
[03:54] <somsip> Giordano: linux requires that the executable flag is set on a binary for it to be allowed to be executed. Windows does not support the executable flag
[03:54] <_andy_> @andy Although 14.03 may come with version 3.19, it may be handy to check your version using the command. I have 14.03, but an older kernel version than 3.19, to add to daftykins.
[03:55] <somsip> _andy_: first sign of madness you know...
[03:55] <daftykins> 14.03 is not a release.
[03:55] <I-Candy> irc://efnet/
[03:55] <_andy_> @daftykins I meant 14.04.3. My mistake.
[03:55] <daftykins> I-Candy: no, still wrong.
[03:55] <daftykins> installing afresh with 14.04.3 media includes the vivid (15.04) HWE, thus 3.19 kernel as standard.
[03:55] <lasers> daftykins: Thank you. I found it. http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=trusty&section=all&arch=any&keywords=linux-image&searchon=names -- It came out on 3.13... and later with upgrades to current 3.19? I need at least 3.8 -- Thank again for your help.
[03:56] <daftykins> yes 14.04 vanilla came with 3.13
[03:56] <daftykins> 14.04.2 came with utopic's 3.16 iirc
[03:57] <setzke> j #jitsi
[03:57] <_andy_> Anyway, I have a networking Ubuntu Server question, and was wondering if anyone is able to help me out with that.
[03:58] <_andy_> I know this is not the right channel, but the ubuntu-server channel is empty.
[03:58] <daftykins> not until you ask it - and not in a big spam paste
[03:58] <linuxuz3r> how do i upgrade my kernel
[03:58] <lasers> daftykins: I counted wrong. D'oh.
[03:58] <linuxuz3r> i got to program really
[03:59] <_andy_> I'm sorry. I didn't know that pasting was bad. In a nutshell, my server does not show up in the list of computers.
[03:59] <daftykins> linuxuz3r: that doesn't make any sense
[03:59] <daftykins> _andy_: relying on browsing lists seems unnecessary, can't you just make use of things via IP and share?
[04:00] <_andy_> @daftykins IP addresses and NetBIOS lookups work fine, but I would like to have the computers show up in a list (like the smbtree command).
[04:01] <_andy_> They work fine if I type in the Netbios name or IP address.
[04:01] <daftykins> !paste
[04:01] <daftykins> examples are always good
[04:01] <eyecandy> umm
[04:02] <daftykins> eyecandy: you're on freenode, you need to type "/connect irc.efnet.org" then after connectiong "/join #channel-name"
[04:02] <daftykins> connecting, too
[04:10] <_andy_> @daftykins Will I need to sign up to use the pasting service?
[04:11] <daftykins> http://paste.ubuntu.com no

[04:21] <sachin> what i am actually i?
[04:21] <Cay> but being that it's dieing in your change, likely the issue is between the keyboard and the chair
[04:21] <sachin> in??
[04:21] <daftykins> sachin: you're in a chat channel for ubuntu support on the IRC network of freenode.
[04:21] <sachin> oh!!

[04:22] <Cay> though chandan_ what version of deb/ubu are you using?
[04:23] <daftykins> _andy_: so you're actually working with Mint
[04:24] <chandan_> Cay: I installed the machine with ubuntu-15.10-20150812-server-ppc64el.iso
[04:24] <_andy_> @daftykins That's one of the comptuers on the network, but the server runs Ubuntu Server.
[04:24] <Cay> cool, yeah shoot me the diff (if it's private feel free to pm) I can at least glance at it for syntax errors
[04:24] <daftykins> _andy_: well you've got an auth failure in there
[04:25] <daftykins> no WINS servers, might be relevant
[04:26] <_andy_> @daftykins I am hoping to create a setup without a WINS server, if that is possible. I've seens others do that successfully.
[04:28] <daftykins> maybe you should talk to them about their configs :>
[04:31] <_andy_> @daftykins I have another file if this helps. http://paste.ubuntu.com/12243157/plain/
[04:31] <_andy_> One thing I find suspicious is that there is not a #1d entry, nor an MSBROWSE entry.
[04:33] <daftykins> _andy_: you've asked in #samba i take it?
[04:33] <_andy_> @daftykins Not yet. I can ask there if that is a better place.
[04:34] <OerHeks> chandan_, if you use the daily build, why not the current http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/current/
[04:35] <chandan_> OerHeks: ok let me check with that
[04:42] <ubunu> how  to get cent os server status report
[04:42] <daftykins> this is an ubuntu channel, you can't ask about CentOS here.
[04:45] <_andy_> @daftykins I've just tried the #samba network. No response.
[04:46] <daftykins> that's a channel
[04:46] <daftykins> you have to wait.
[04:47] <ubunu> how to genarate watch dog report

[05:01] <setzke> Do you still have access to the email address you registered with?
[05:01] <EriC^^> mikem_: recovery mode
[05:01] <mikem_> I dont remember the password. how to get into recovery mode pls
[05:02] <lotuspsychje> !recovery | mikem_
[05:02] <EriC^^> mikem_: hold shift to get grub > advanced > recovery > drop to root shell, type mount -o remount,rw / , then type passwd <your user>
[05:02] <mikem_> thanks. it boots and runs good, i just cant update cause i forgot the password
[05:03] <EriC^^> mount -i remount,rw /
[05:03] <EriC^^> mount -o remount,rw /
[05:08] <greenberet123> I have a single ext partition of 5 TB with an ubuntu install and im mounting it from a rescuecd. It doesnt show all files, it randomly shows some files .. different from every restart. Anyone know whats wrong?
[05:09] <daftykins> greenberet123: can you show an example?
[05:14] <plytro> greenberet123: your disk is dying?
[05:16] <estudiante> no me responde bien firefox
[05:16] <cfhowlett> yeah that sounds highly ominous.  I'd suspect dying disk
[05:16] <cfhowlett> !es | estudiante
[05:16] <estudiante> en realidad no me funciona
[05:16] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: morning mate, join us at discuss :p
[05:17] <greenberet123> daftykins: For eg, in my last restart, /home was empty ... now it shows files
[05:17] <greenberet123> plytro: disk is fine ... but there was a power outage, computer rebooted and now doesnt boot anymore
[05:18] <estudiante> necesito ayuda
[05:18] <greenberet123> cfhowlett: Its a brand new machine .. just 2 months old. The disk is a megaraid 0....
[05:18] <plytro> greenberet123: that doesn't mean the disk is fine
[05:18] <plytro> power outage could fuck it up
[05:19] <greenberet123> plytro: It does a bunch of checks during startup and doesnt report any errors
[05:19] <plytro> SMART reports ok?
[05:19] <estudiante> quiero saber que es esto ??
[05:20] <cfhowlett> !es | estudiante no habla english?  [05:20] <greenberet123> plytro: Not exactly smart, but there is a raid check thing that happens in the start, it scans all the disks and reports everything as ok
[05:20] <greenberet123> plytro: googling a bit revealed that the partition may be too big ... but I dont know why that would be a problem
[05:21] <estudiante> gracias
[05:22] <greenberet123> plytro: it apparently uses this thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS_boot_partition ..... which i know nothing about ... There is a 1 MB grub_bios partition in the start
[05:22] <greenberet123> the ubuntu install did all this automatically
[05:23] <EriC^^> cause you're using gpt with legacy
[05:23] <EriC^^> which makes sense, cause msdos only supports up to 4tb partitions
[05:25] <greenberet123> EriC^^ : So now i cant boot coz grub says "attempt to access disk outside hd0" while loading the kernel ....... and the rescuecd randomnly shows different files on my partition
[05:25] <daftykins> heh
[05:26] <greenberet123> is there some way for me to do a diagnostic check of the huge partition from my rescuecd?

[05:34] <sachin> anyone can hear me??
[05:34] <cfhowlett> sachin, ask your ubuntu question
[05:35] <cfhowlett> nuclearnadal, it'll be in your system settings
[05:35] <nuclearnadal> its not there
[05:35] <nuclearnadal> thats why I am asking, I have tried searching everywhere
[05:37] <daftykins> nuclearnadal: you change brightness on your monitor, not in the OS...
[05:37] <nuclearnadal> daftykins: I can't because its connected by DVI cable
[05:37] <nuclearnadal> why I cant control by system?
[05:38] <daftykins> being connected by DVI doesn't change brightness options :P
[05:38] <daftykins> you must have a really terrible monitor
[05:38] <cfhowlett> nuclearnadal, every external display I've ever seen provides hardware switches for brightness

[05:40] <dsnyders> Hi all!  I want to attach two folders together so that when a file gets written, it gets written to both folders, but when a file is deleted or overwritten, it only happens in the first folder.  How do I set that up?
[05:40] <TheNumb> !patience | dsnyders
[05:41] <TheNumb> dsnyders: some keywords that might be useful to you in this case: inotify fsnotify
[05:41] <plytro> !hardlinks | dsnyders

[05:42] <dsnyders> TheNumb: Is this a job for rsync?
[05:42] <TheNumb> dsnyders: might be.
[05:42] <sachin38> How do i set up my PC to learn c programming in ubuntu?
[05:42] <daftykins> ask in a C channel
[05:43] <cfhowlett> sachin38, ask #c channel
[05:43] <somsip> sachin38: if you can setup a development environment, don't learn c
[05:43] <somsip> s/can/can't...
[05:43] <sachin38> I am a complete noob
[05:44] <cfhowlett> sachin38, all the more reason to ask about programming in the programming channel not here
[05:44] <sachin38> ok thanks
[05:45] <dsnyders> sachin38: Chances are that your ubuntu is already set up.  As a first step, you should google for a c tutorial or c self taught website and go from there.
[05:45] <OerHeks> !ide
[05:46] <plytro> dsnyders: could you accomplish what you want using a copy-on-write file system?
[05:46] <dsnyders> sachin38: a good tutorial site will have detailed instructions for installing whatever add-ons you might need.
[05:46] <plytro> btrfs has "File cloning (copy-on-write on individual files, or byte ranges thereof)"
[05:47] <dsnyders> plytro: It sounds promising if it can be done mid project.
[05:47] <plytro> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs#Cloning
[05:52] <dsnyders> TheNumb: I've been googling inotify and found a few sites related to monitoring dropbox folders.  Looks like you've sent me in the right direction.  Thanks!

[06:26] <lotuspsychje> !manual | HolyKnight
[06:26] <daftykins> HolySpirit: there's a great free course on edx.org called LFS102x too
[06:27] <guest42315> !manual | ubottu
[06:27] <lotuspsychje> HolyKnight: also a good way is experimenting yourself on ubuntu
[06:27] <HolySpirit> daftykins: ok thank you ill check. anything else?
[06:27] <HolySpirit> lotuspsychje: yeah but i need some knowledge
[06:27] <lotuspsychje> HolyKnight: and the manpages in terminal comes handy also
[06:28] <HolySpirit> well
[06:29] <HolySpirit> manpages talk aonly about specific commands
[06:29] <delt> Hello
[06:29] <daftykins> HolySpirit: https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-linux-linuxfoundationx-lfs101x-2
[06:29] <delt> i'm confused about the ubuntu boot sequence... how come the ramdisk file /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-53-lowlatency contains only this? ---> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20480 Sep  1 02:16 ./kernel/x86/microcode/GenuineIntel.bin
[06:29] <daftykins> nope that's all i've got
[06:30] <daftykins> that's both an old kernel and LL anyway :P
[06:30] <delt> there's an older one (initrd.img-3.13.0-23-lowlatency) that's gzipped and contains a proper initrd......
[06:31] <HolySpirit> daftykins: do you know how to add module in kernel in linux distribution iso file
[06:31] <delt> but i have a total of 3 /boot/initrd.img-* files, two of which only contain an intel microcode file...
[06:32] <daftykins> HolySpirit: that's a little bit different to basic learning :P what are you hoping to achieve?
[06:32] <HolySpirit> daftykins: i need to learn how to compile module in kernel
[06:33] <daftykins> why...
[06:34] <HolySpirit> daftykins because i have problems with modules
[06:34] <delt> ok found it .... http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/163346/why-is-it-that-my-initrd-only-has-one-directory-namely-kernel
[06:34] <delt> weird that the kernel accpepts such weird nonstandard formats..
[06:35] <daftykins> HolySpirit: ok, sorry too vague.
[06:36] <penos> does kernel support intel M chip?
[06:37] <Kamuela> has anyone ever bought a prebuilt Ubuntu machine?
[06:37] <Cay> Well this is annoying, trying to deploy an apk to my phone to test it
[06:37] <Cay> lsusb all good, mtp all good
[06:37] <Cay> adb no dice
[06:37] <daftykins> penos: Core M? i'm sure it does.
[06:37] <daftykins> Kamuela: that's not really on topic
[06:38] <lotuspsychje> Kamuela: whats your real question?
[06:39] <Kamuela> a recommendation i suppose. i don't absolutely need an mbp but i'd hate to buy another windows machine, wondered if there were any recommendations for a laptop built for the ubuntu experience
[06:40] <lotuspsychje> Kamuela: most machines perform well on ubuntu
[06:41] <lotuspsychje> Kamuela: ive installed 14.04 LTS on more then 50 machines and all work very good
[06:41] <Kamuela> lotuspsychje, yes but as an example my old toshiba by default the media keys caused X to crash, and until the latest version of Ubuntu no graphics drivers could fix very odd display issues
[06:41] <akik> Kamuela: check out system76. they put ubuntu on all their machines
[06:41] <penos> can u automate ubuntu install on multiple machines?
[06:41] <lotuspsychje> Kamuela: older machines: lubuntu/xubuntu
[06:41] <delt> oops
[06:42] <Kamuela> lotuspsychje, older like 16gb ddr3 i7?
[06:42] <lotuspsychje> Kamuela: ?
[06:42] <lotuspsychje> penos: for workstation installs?
[06:42] <penos> yeh
[06:42] <HolyKnight> Lotus
[06:43] <HolyKnight> Why me?
[06:43] <daftykins> penos: of course.
[06:43] <Kamuela> it wasn't having issues because it was older it was having issues because there was some unspoken quirk
[06:43] <lotuspsychje> penos: i know there's a package for that, but forgot name
[06:43] <lotuspsychje> HolyKnight: why you what?
[06:43] <HolyKnight> U did mention to me.
[06:44] <HolyKnight> I am ubuntutu beginner
[06:44] <HolyKnight> Oh spell bad.
[06:45] <lotuspsychje> HolyKnight: please use this channel for ubuntu questions only
[06:45] <daftykins> misterpink: lots of clones and IRC as root = not clever
[06:45] <HolyKnight> lotuspsychje: of course
[06:46] <HolyKnight> I know.
[06:47] <HolyKnight> lotuspsychje: maybe
[06:47] <HolyKnight> U did mistake.
[06:47] <lotuspsychje> !ot | HolyKnight
[06:47] <HolyKnight> I am not HolySpirit .
[06:48] <lotuspsychje> HolyKnight: stop that, you will get banned with this attitude
[06:49] <HolyKnight> Ok.

[07:23] <greenberet123> ok, is there a way to boot another kernel using SystemRescueCd ?
[07:24] <greenberet123> I want to boot the kernel in my linux installation ... my grub is screwed up, so I cant rely on it
[07:24] <lotuspsychje> !recovergrub | greenberet123
[07:24] <greenberet123> lotuspsychje: no, I dont want to recover grub ... I just want to boot into it
[07:25] <lotuspsychje> greenberet123: whats your purpose once you get to boot it?
[07:25] <greenberet123> lotuspsychje: Once I boot, I will never ever restart the machine
[07:26] <lotuspsychje> lol
[07:26] <lotuspsychje> greenberet123: doesnt sound like a good pla, you need updates+reboot sometimes
[07:26] <greenberet123> lotuspsychje: Someone else will deal with that ... right now, I just want to boot into it
[07:27] <lotuspsychje> greenberet123: if grub is broken, you might not load a kernel right
[07:27] <greenberet123> lotuspsychje: Im wondering if I can use some rescue disk or something to load the kernel for me
[07:29] <lotuspsychje> greenberet123: you need something to boot, lilo or grub
[07:29] <greenberet123> lotuspsychje: sure ... but cant the grub be from a livecd? Does it need to be on my MBR?
[07:30] <lotuspsychje> greenberet123: not sure why you make it so hard for yourself.. you can install new ubuntu and save your /home
[07:30] <lotuspsychje> greenberet123: or recover grub
[07:31] <greenberet123> lotuspsychje: so I dont have separate partitions... everything is in one giant partition (5TB)
[07:31] <greenberet123> lotuspsychje: so i guess I cannot reinstall
[07:31] <greenberet123> lotuspsychje: in any case, my root partition is perfectly fine .... I can boot it using the rescue kernel ...
[07:31] <lotuspsychje> greenberet123: saving data on just 1 hd is never clever
[07:32] <greenberet123> lotuspsychje: agreed, thankfully I didnt do it .... whichever crazy person set up this machine did that
[07:32] <lotuspsychje> greenberet123: take out the hd physicaly and recover data from it?
[07:32] <lotuspsychje> greenberet123: then reinstall ubuntu fresh
[07:33] <greenberet123> lotuspsychje: no no ... that seems unnecessary. The partition is totally fine ....
[07:33] <greenberet123> lotuspsychje: grub is having issues ..
[07:33] <lotuspsychje> greenberet123: then recover grub...
[07:34] <greenberet123> lotuspsychje: ok, ill try :( ....
[07:37] <OerHeks> greenberet123, what makes you think you have grub with one partition?
[07:39] <ubuntu-mate> hi all
[07:41] <bujji> how can i close open ports
[07:41] <greenberet123> OerHeks: No, I also have the bios_grub partition, requires for GPT
[07:41] <greenberet123> OerHeks: but my entire linux install is in one single huge partition
[07:42] <greenberet123> OerHeks: and the grub only reads part of it .... and so, cant load the kernel
[07:43] <bujji> o/
[07:45] <bujji> hello
[07:48] <bujji> OerHeks: hello
[07:52] <greenberet123> does anyone know what super grub disk is? Can it boot my kernel in existing linux install?
[07:52] <ikonia> why do you need superb grub ?
[07:52] <ikonia> just use the ubuntu install media if you need to fix a grub problem
[07:55] <justintv90> Hi tuers
[07:57] <greenberet123> ikonia: coz im unable to fix grub ... i do grub-install /dev/sdb ... but it says that it cannot find bios partition
[07:57] <ikonia> why are you doing it to /dev/sdb
[07:57] <ikonia> that is not where the grub boot loader lives
[07:58] <ikonia> and if it can't find the bios partition, then super grub disk won't make it magically appear
[07:59] <greenberet123> ikonia: coz that is my drive ... /dev/sdb1 is the bios_grub partition, /dev/sdb2 is my linux parition and /dev/sdb3 is swap
[07:59] <daftykins> you're doing something wrong
[08:00] <ikonia> greenberet123: but are you booting the actual pre-boot env from /dev/sdb ?
[08:00] <gogeta> bo
[08:00] <greenberet123> ikonia: er.. not sure what you mean
[08:01] <gogeta> ikonia, whats up just came in
[08:02] <daftykins> gogeta: not a chat channel, either ask a support question or take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:02] <gogeta> toshy, you figure out that display problem

[08:05] <daftykins> C0r3: it's pretty basic, apache's docs will help - but if you just look at the configs in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ it's pretty obvious
[08:08] <C0r3> daftykins: If I change the DocumentRoot to my uri will it then, will it be updated?
[08:08] <justintv90> Anybody know how to install Paltalk on Ubuntu ?

[08:10] <daftykins> C0r3: if you work in web dev i think you need to do a course of some kind
[08:10] <TheNumb> daftykins: oops, sorry ;p
[08:10] <gogeta> justintv90, paltalk does not work in wine
[08:10] <C0r3> daftykins: What kind? Web servers?
[08:10] <justintv90> Honestly, i hate paltalk express, very very lag
[08:11] <stangeland> how do i disable to alt-hud key?
[08:11] <gogeta> justintv90, that paltalk in genrel
[08:11] <daftykins> C0r3: that's the most immediate example ;)
[08:11] <justintv90> gogeta: Oh really ? I just know it
[08:11] <C0r3> daftykins: Thank you. Can you tell me what else I'll be needing?
[08:12] <C0r3> daftykins: PM me the details if you don't mind.
[08:12] <daftykins> C0r3: no.
[08:13] <daftykins> C0r3: this channel is not a substitute for gaining a clear competent level of education with a given topic
[08:13] <daftykins> if you are paid to perform this task, shame on you ;P
[08:13] <gogeta> justintv90, well you can try adding ie to wine and paltalk
[08:14] <justintv90> gogeta: OK, i will try it. Thanks alot for your help
[08:16] <justintv90> Theres anybody using Oibaf driver graphic on Ubuntu 15.04 ?
[08:18] <OerHeks> justintv90, nope, https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa is better for gtx750ti
[08:19] <justintv90> OerHeks: I'm using Ati HD 5470 not a nvidia :(
[08:20] <OerHeks> oh that card should not need newer drivers than the regular ubuntu provides,AFAIK
[08:20] <mcphail> justintv90: I have used Oibaf, but PPAs can't really be supported here
[08:31] <justintv90> OerHeks: yeah, thanks alot
[08:42] <yorwos> i installed an addon on firefox youtube mp3 downloader , and since then the player changed. i uninstalled the addon but the player is still not the original it had, i cant recover from full screen and have some problems with it , any ideas how to proceed ?
[08:43] <daftykins> reset your firefox profile
[08:43] <daftykins> to test, confirm it's how you expect in your guest session first
[08:43] <daftykins> or create a second in your user account, by running "firefox -p" i think it is
[08:44] <daftykins> nope alt + F2 -> "firefox -profilemanager"
[08:44] <yorwos> aw great
[08:44] <yorwos> thanx guyz
[08:56] <yorwos> it still didnt fix
[08:58] <yorwos> for example in the old player kwin would make it full size using its effect , this player is just boom and laggy/buggy
[08:59] <Ntemis> hey guys please help me out
[09:00] <yorwos> got it , it was uging html5 instead of flash player
[09:00] <rory-> Ntemis: ...
[09:00] <Ntemis> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12244084/
[09:01] <Ntemis> i have 30g free space btw
[09:01] <Ntemis> *gb
[09:02] <TheNumb> Ntemis: check your /boot
[09:02] <Ntemis> and i rm -rf the /tmp folder too
[09:02] <TheNumb> I guess it's a separate partition
[09:02] <Ntemis> no is not
[09:02] <ikonia> you rm -rf /tmp ?
[09:02] <Ntemis> yeap
[09:03] <Ntemis> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12244097/
[09:03] <ikonia> errrr that will cause a problem
[09:03] <ikonia> the temp directory has to exist with certain permissions
[09:03] <leslie_> hello
[09:03] <ikonia> look at /tmp, it's %100
[09:03] <Ntemis> yes that why i rm rf it
[09:03] <pcp> why only 1m tmp?
[09:04] <Ntemis> beats me
[09:04] <ikonia> Ntemis: that seems crazy
[09:04] <ikonia> umojnt /tmp
[09:04] <ikonia> and either use a directory or partition
[09:04] <Ntemis> am afraid to reboot tbh
[09:04] <ikonia> no-one said reboot
[09:04] <Ntemis> unmount /tmp?
[09:05] <ikonia> Ntemis: what have you actually done to your system to cause this
[09:05] <leslie_> does any one know how to setup kodi on rasp2 running ubuntu mate?
[09:05] <Ntemis> nothing
[09:05] <ikonia> Ntemis ls -la /tmp in a pastebin please
[09:05] <daftykins> leslie_: openelec would've been far more sensible
[09:06] <Ntemis> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12244117/
[09:06] <leslie_> is that a desktop version of linux or is it just for media center usage?
[09:06] <ikonia> Ntemis: I would suggest rebooting and seeing what comes back up
[09:07] <ikonia> Ntemis: /tmp is being mounted from overflow and it's full
[09:07] <oaulakh> how to fix ubuntu auto mount drives?
[09:07] <ikonia> let it go back to disk or ramfs - whatever you're using
[09:07] <ikonia> or just unmount
[09:07] <pcp> Alternative solution could be to unmount the /tmp, make the RAM the tmp from next boot (fstab) and then redo your /dev/sd* structure. Guessing you are not using any kind of LVM.
[09:07] <Ntemis> so reboot is my solution to this?
[09:07] <greenberet123> ah! it booooooted!!!!! grub-install followed by some grub boot commands!
[09:07] <greenberet123> thanks everyone!
[09:07] <ikonia> Ntemis: did you hard disk fill up at any time ?
[09:07] <Ntemis> yeap
[09:08] <Ntemis> fill up
[09:08] <ikonia> Ntemis: ok  - that makes sense
[09:08] <ikonia> so why didn't you say that earlier
[09:08] <Ntemis> because i deleted a lot of stuff
[09:08] <Ntemis> and i assume that error was gone
[09:08] <Ntemis> didnt know i had to reboot
[09:08] <ikonia> you don't
[09:08] <ikonia> I asked you what had happened to cause this - you said nothing
[09:08] <ikonia> just sudo umount overflow
[09:09] <ikonia> and /tmp will unmount and go back to disk space
[09:09] <ikonia> or reboot
[09:09] <Ntemis> i cant unmount
[09:09] <ikonia> why ?
[09:09] <oaulakh> how to fix ubuntu auto mount drives?
[09:10] <Ntemis> paste.ubuntu.com/12244128/
[09:10] <ikonia> Ntemis: sudo umount -l /tmp
[09:10] <Ntemis> yeap that  did it
[09:10] <Ntemis> Thanks!!
[09:11] <Ntemis> ow yes
[09:11] <Ntemis> fixed
[09:11] <Ntemis> Thanks ikonia
[09:11] <shrilaxmi> how to clear the personal xchat history permanently
[09:12] <shrilaxmi> Could anyone tell me how to clear the personal xchat history permanently?
[09:12] <cfhowlett> shrilaxmi, xchat has been officially deprecated.  should not be used at all.  hexchat is the lookalike replacement
[09:12] <shrilaxmi> cfhowlett: is there anyway to do it?
[09:13] <shrilaxmi> cfhowlett: i cleared but it appears again
[09:13] <cfhowlett> shrilaxmi, sudo apt-get purge xchat && sudo apt-get install hexchat
[09:13] <cfhowlett> shrilaxmi, xchat is no longer supported.
[09:14] <heena> if there is no trash folder, where are all the files deleted?
[09:14] <cfhowlett> heena, .trash
[09:14] <heena> there is no .trash
[09:14] <cfhowlett> heena, scratch that.  sorry
[09:15] <EriC^^> heena: /home/e/.local/share/Trash/files
[09:15] <k1l> shrilaxmi: see the .xchat2 folder in your users home. there are the logs stored
[09:16] <heena> nope i dont have that path
[09:16] <EriC^^> heena: sorry /home/<user>/.local/share/Trash/files
[09:16] <heena> same
[09:16] <k1l> heena: what ubuntu is that?
[09:16] <heena> 12.04 precise
[09:17] <k1l>  ~/.local/share/Trash/files
[09:17] <heena> i work in /root but i do not have /root/.local/share/Trash at all
[09:17] <cfhowlett> heena, you should not be in root and should certainly not trash in root
[09:18] <k1l> on different partitions they got their own .trash-xxxxx folder in the partitions root
[09:18] <heena> cfhowlett, what if i am, i still dont get where my files are going
[09:18] <EriC^^> heena: where are you deleting them? nautilus?
[09:19] <heena> EriC^^, from the terminal using rm
[09:19] <k1l> erm rm doesnt send to trash
[09:19] <cfhowlett> and rm in root is ... risky
[09:20] <heena> ohh, so rm deletes permanently
[09:20]  * cfhowlett backs away slowly ...
[09:20] <k1l> heena: yes
[09:22] <mortenhauberg> Hi. Any of you guys know if it is possible to read a cron expression from the bash script running? If i have this line in my crontab "* * * * * /home/test/test.sh", is there any way i can read the "* * * * *" from the script?
[09:22] <heena> how do i recover a file deleted using rm
[09:23] <EriC^^> sudo testdisk
[09:24] <EriC^^> mortenhauberg: crontab -l
[09:25] <mortenhauberg> EriC^^, That would just list all of the jobs, right? I am only interested in the one currently running. In this instance every minute
[09:25] <k1l> heena: you could try with photorec, extundelete, ext4magic, etc. but that is a lot of effort and no guarantee if that will work in the end
[09:26] <EriC^^> mortenhauberg: it should be in /var/log/syslog
[09:27] <heena> k1l, ok thanks
[09:27] <mortenhauberg> EriC^^, i am looking for the schedule from the running job. I was just wondering if there was a variable or something i could read it from. So the script being run by cron could know the schedule
[09:31] <chalcedony> my husband used a ubuntu live cd to try to help recover his hard drive that goes to grub and stops. ubuntu live cd (on usb stick) found bad sectors in his drive
[09:31] <chalcedony> now we have an Uncompression Error -- System Halted
[09:31] <chalcedony> what can i do now?
[09:35] <tumbler> chalcedony, you can use a program to fix them like HDDregenerator ... i hope you have a backup of data ... good luck
[09:36] <tumbler> usually it means your HDD is died
[09:37] <chalcedony> ooh
[09:37] <chalcedony> tumbler, i hope he has good backups too
[09:37] <chalcedony> hdd regenerator
[09:48] <claw-cat> hi all
[09:50] <yoda_> hello :)
[09:50] <Nirjhor> hello
[09:50] <claw-cat> sudo apt-get install policycoreutils && which sandbox
[09:50] <Nirjhor> in KDE what is the best alternet of du meter?
[09:51] <claw-cat> not found sandbox =(
[09:54] <claw-cat> how to solve the problem ?
[09:55] <Nirjhor> claw-cat: what is your problem ?
[09:56] <claw-cat> sudo apt-get install policycoreutils && which sandbox
[09:56] <claw-cat> not found sandbox
[09:57] <daftykins> that'll be because 'sandbox' isn't a program on your system then
[09:57] <Nirjhor> claw-cat: what are you trying to achieve?
[09:57] <Idiot> When I'm trying to run a .sh script from a CD, it gives the message "bash: ./linux_installer.sh: Permission denied".
[09:57] <Idiot> "linux_installer.sh" is the script.
[09:57] <Nirjhor> Idiot: change permission with chmod
[09:57] <Nirjhor> Idiot: refer to "man chmod" and adjust according to your need
[09:58] <Idiot> Nirjhor: I tried once, told me that it's a read-only file. But I can try again.
[09:58] <claw-cat> okey, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/en/man8/sandbox.8.html
[09:58] <Nirjhor> Idiot: you need to be root for that
[09:58] <definity> hi, i just updated my kernel and now my wireless dont work, how come?
[09:58] <daftykins> Idiot: "sudo -i" then browse to it, chmod +x, then ./blah.sh
[09:58] <Idiot> Nirjhor: Ah...
[09:58] <daftykins> though on CD you won't be able to modify permissions
[09:59] <EriC^^> Idiot: don't run the script as root unless you need to and you know what it does too
[10:00] <TomyWork> i want to run aptitude on a backup to explore the packages i had installed. chroot or is there another way?
[10:00] <Nirjhor> claw-cat: I haven't tried but this might help: http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/382226:run-applications-in-secure-sandboxes-with-selinux
[10:01] <Idiot> Alright, did "sudo -i", logged in, navigated to the CD, did "chmod +x linux_installer.sh", but it still tells me that it's a read-only file system.
[10:01] <claw-cat> Nirjhor: in Centos all good
[10:01] <Idiot> I should try copying it off the disk and then running.
[10:02] <TomyWork> ok, chroot was easy enough :)
[10:02] <claw-cat> Nirjhor: it seems the problem is in the package deb
[10:03] <mcphail> Idiot: run "sh /path/to/whatever/script"
[10:03] <claw-cat> Nirjhor: your url actualy only Centos =)
[10:03] <Idiot> mcphail: Okay.
[10:03] <daftykins> Idiot: yeah that's normal. since a CD is RO :>
[10:04] <mcphail> claw-cat: is the required app in your $PATH? If it is installed in /usr/sbin or /sbin it won't be in the default user path and "which" will not see it
[10:04] <Idiot> Alright, there seems to be an error in the script.
[10:04] <Idiot> Dangit.
[10:04] <Idiot> Why would Epic Games want to distribute a CD with an erroneus script on it?
[10:04] <claw-cat> mcphail: i did find / -name 'sandbox'
[10:05] <EriC^^> Idiot: what does the error say?
[10:05] <mcphail> claw-cat: and you are sure the package provides that app?
[10:05] <claw-cat> mcphail: yes http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/en/man8/sandbox.8.html
[10:06] <Idiot> EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12244375/
[10:06] <daftykins> Idiot: i suspect they haven't :)
[10:06] <Idiot> daftykins: Well, what's wrong then?
[10:06] <k1l> Idiot: is it the virtualbox guest additions?
[10:07] <Idiot> k1l: You mean the script?
[10:07] <k1l> Idiot: yes
[10:07] <daftykins> files of a different size, sure it's an original copy?
[10:08] <Idiot> k1l: Well, it's a Linux installer script from the Unreal Tournament 2003 CD 3. Not really necessary, but it would be nice.
[10:08] <daftykins> hit their website, might be a newer edition.
[10:08] <Idiot> daftykins: Okay.
[10:11] <EriC^^> Idiot: can you upload the script?
[10:11] <Idiot> EriC^^: I'll try.
[10:11] <EriC^^> Idiot: looks like it tries to open the last 266 lines but the filename is missing there or something
[10:12] <Idiot> EriC^^: The script is 17 MB's. Not sure if I could upload it.
[10:13] <EriC^^> Idiot: type grep -C4 "tail.*266" /path/to/script
[10:13] <EriC^^> and upload that
[10:13] <Idiot> EriC^^: "Binary file linux_installer.sh matches."
[10:14] <EriC^^> grep -C4 "tail.*266" /path/to/linux_installer.sh
[10:14] <mcphail> claw-cat: I've downloaded the package, and "/usr/bin/sandbox" is in there...
[10:15] <Idiot> EriC^^: I did it, it said that it matches.
[10:15] <EriC^^> Idiot: odd, it should give the lines that match
[10:16] <EriC^^> try grep tail /path/to/linux_installer.sh
[10:16] <Idiot> EriC^^: Same.
[10:16] <EriC^^> are you using linux?
[10:17] <mcphail> EriC^^: thos old loki-installer scripts contain compressed binary information
[10:17] <Idiot> EriC^^: Of course! Lubuntu 15.04, to be exact.
[10:17] <claw-cat> mcphail: your os version ?
[10:17] <EriC^^> mcphail: oh
[10:17] <mcphail> claw-cat: I downloaded the build from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policycoreutils/2.1.0-3ubuntu1/+build/2975533/+files/policycoreutils_2.1.0-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb to check
[10:18] <flaymond> hi
[10:18] <Idiot> Hello.
[10:18] <EriC^^> Idiot: try grep -a -C4 "tail.*266" /path/to/linux_installer.sh
[10:20] <Idiot> EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12244434/
[10:20] <CantFindBackToSl> Hi, I have a NTFS-formatted drive that gets automounted into my Ubuntu system and I just found out that I'm unable to execute files on that drive, because there is no x-right. I found out that one can change default rights via mount options (http://askubuntu.com/questions/18052/exe-file-permission-fail/18053#18053), but the device is not mounted via /etc/fstab, so I'm looking for where to put my options.
[10:20] <goju> Disc burned in Windows refuses to mount in Ubuntu....but they are ok....i can run them on Windows
[10:21] <CantFindBackToSl> I found udisks and tried udisks --mount-options fmask=0022,dmask=0000,uid=1000,gid=1000 /dev/disk/by-label/SYSTEM_DRV, but that seems to be an invalid command (displays help).
[10:21] <goju> how can I mount the disc....I am unable to understand the syntax of dares
[10:21] <daftykins> CantFindBackToSl: you add the options to fstab under the options column.
[10:22] <CantFindBackToSl> daftykins: But there's no entry for that device in /etc/fstab.
[10:22] <EriC^^> Idiot: yeah, that's a syntax error, it's either tail -266 or tail -n +266
[10:22] <daftykins> CantFindBackToSl so create one
[10:23] <Idiot> EriC^^: In that case, would (trying) fixing it help?
[10:24] <flaymond> I need help on finding 'matches' for a string name, in my /
[10:24] <EriC^^> Idiot: *shrug*
[10:24] <flaymond> ls -a / | grep -r "word" - Just ....
[10:25] <daftykins> flaymond: #bash may also be of use
[10:25] <flaymond> I'm not good with Perl to use regex, anyone can help?
[10:25] <flaymond> how daftkins
[10:25] <daftykins> it's a channel
[10:25] <daftykins> you ask them :)
[10:25] <Idiot> EriC^^: I googled "shrug", just in case. Turns out it didn't mean what I thought it did.
[10:25] <goju> can anybody guide me ?
[10:26] <EriC^^> Idiot: :D
[10:26] <mcphail> Idiot: I would be hugely surprised if those old loki installers still worked today
[10:26] <flaymond> I just want to use bash to find files in my top / directory, says the command will find from / to everywhere
[10:26] <Idiot> EriC^^: Guess I'll have to seek non-ASCII entertainment elsewhere, then. *whips out DOSBox with Wolfenstein 3D*
[10:26] <flaymond> so, my idea it to use -r
[10:26] <daftykins> goju: what kind of discs? what's on them? any other detail that your messages haven't shared?
[10:26] <flaymond> is*
[10:27] <claw-cat> mcphail: Thanks! why not in the official repositories ?
[10:27] <daftykins> flaymond: i think 'find' would make far more sense come to think of it :)
[10:27] <goju> Data dvd, DVD-R
[10:27] <daftykins> find / -i name "blah"
[10:28] <mcphail> claw-cat: that is from the repos. Just that I'm currently SSH'd into an old debian box, so had to download from Ubuntu site directly
[10:28] <goju> I do not see the disc mounted
[10:28] <mcphail> claw-cat: don't know why apt-getting didn't work for you
[10:29] <flaymond> daftykins - outputs unknow predicate (for -i)
[10:29] <daftykins> flaymond: eh i probably have the syntax wrong off hand, check the man page.
[10:30] <goju> when I insert the disc , i hear it spinning in the drive but it does not appear anywhere
[10:30] <flaymond> daftykins: I'm actually don't know which options to use, I'm afraid it will do something bad, especially it will finding matches in /
[10:30] <daftykins> flaymond: there we go: find / -name "blah"
[10:30] <daftykins> flaymond: that's a terribly unadventurous approach!
[10:31] <daftykins> flaymond: bear in mind you must add * before or after 'blah' if you don't know any other text in the name, e.g. foo* would match foobar
[10:31] <CantFindBackToSl> daftykins: How would I test that? I've added the entry to fstab.
[10:31] <goju> It was a multisession disc burned with Nero and Windows disc burner...do not remember exactly
[10:32] <daftykins> CantFindBackToSl: first off you need to unmount where it is already, then in a terminal you run "sudo mount -a"
[10:32] <flaymond> daftykins: sounds like I have to use *.txt in case I need for txt or *i to find any file ending with i?
[10:32] <daftykins> goju: was the session closed?
[10:32] <daftykins> goju: try running "lsblk" and see if it lists the optical drive.
[10:33] <mcphail> flaymond: are you searching for text in those files, or simply searching fro the text of the filenames?
[10:33] <erasmus> I upgraded my bios and lost my LUKS graphical password prompt to decrypt my drive.
[10:33] <erasmus> I can still type it in and start the system but the screen is blank.
[10:33] <erasmus> anyone know how I can restore it? Preferably not with a gui.
[10:33] <flaymond> Is that possible mcphail? Should I regex it with head + tail?
[10:33] <daftykins> mcphail: sounded like filenames before
[10:33] <flaymond> or head -10
[10:34] <daftykins> flaymond: if you're afraid, test on a path other than / before you do it - but it won't do anything wrong.
[10:34] <daftykins> it'll just a tonne of directories your user isn't allowed to read, but it'll be fine
[10:34] <flaymond> daftykins: really helping me out, thanks
[10:34] <goju> where do i run lsblk ?
[10:34] <daftykins> goju: in the terminal application
[10:35] <goju> sudo lsblk ?
[10:35] <daftykins> try without first.
[10:35] <daftykins> when in doubt, leave it out
[10:36] <flaymond> daftykins: actually, I can't use file 'arguments' in the /, even with sudo
[10:36] <flaymond> Should I use locate?
[10:36] <daftykins> what do you mean file arguments?
[10:36] <CantFindBackToSl> daftykins: Well, now it tells me "Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened.". :( I should try the fuser command.
[10:36] <daftykins> CantFindBackToSl: i did say to unmount it first didn't i...
[10:36] <CantFindBackToSl> daftykins: I did that.
[10:36] <daftykins> CantFindBackToSl: close any terminals or file managers with it open and type "mount" to confirm the device is not mounted anywhere

[10:37] <mcphail> flaymond: I'm sorry, but I'm still not sure what you are trying to do,exactly. You may want to look at apps such as ack or ag (package: thesilverseracher-ag) which are designed to find tect in files or filenames of files rather quickly
[10:37] <mcphail> *text
[10:37] <flaymond> daftykins: I mean file 'options', I called it arguments because I have been scripting with $1
[10:37] <flaymond> I mean $#
[10:38] <flaymond> mcphail: thanks for helping, I just want to files around the / directory
[10:38] <flaymond> find*
[10:38] <claw-cat> mcphail: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/amd64/policycoreutils/2.2.5-1
[10:39] <mcphail> flaymond: find files where the filenames match a pattern, or find files where the files contain the pattern?
[10:39] <flaymond> the first option
[10:40] <TomyWork> I have a 3rd party package with this in its control file: Architecture: i386\nPre-Depends: [...]libart-2.0-2[...]
[10:41] <TomyWork> i have the amd64 version of that lib installed and i'm prepared to make an equivs package. however, that is a native lib so it wont work. so how do i install that library's 32 bit version on a 64 bit ubuntu trusty?
[10:41] <mcphail> flaymond: and what do you mean by "around the / directory"? Do you mean files which are found in the "/" directory only?
[10:41] <goju> When I run lsblk in terminal I get this :http://paste.ubuntu.com/12244516/
[10:42] <flaymond> mcphail, daftykins: Actually nevermind, I find my way with 'ls -la | grep -r -P "blah" >> $HOME/matches.txt'
[10:43] <daftykins> goju: so the good news is sr0 appears to be a 3.6GB disc - so that should work. here's how i'd test mount it - in the terminal, type "sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt"
[10:43] <TomyWork> daftykins why mount things directly as /mnt?
[10:43] <flaymond> I'm actually wanna find Glib-2.0 (after exporting GLIB=`pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0`)
[10:43] <flaymond> anyway, thanks everyone
[10:44] <daftykins> TomyWork: because i'm feeling in that kinda mood today, it's a one-time thing to check a disk - i calculated zero kittens would be harmed in the process.
[10:44] <flaymond> Before I go, can Perl regex handle this better?
[10:44] <goju> but in other disc I would see the see mount automatically and appear in the side panel
[10:45] <TomyWork> except if the kittens try to mount other stuff below that :D
[10:45] <daftykins> goju: that's nice, but i deal with how things are - not desirables
[10:45] <daftykins> TomyWork: yes but we're not doing that.
[10:45] <CantFindBackToSl> daftykins: Okay, I think I've figured it out. So, the right way of doing it would be mounting it to /mnt/foo, wouldn't it?
[10:46] <goju> ok running command sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt in terminal
[10:46] <mgc-svetatroica> hi guys i want to ask a question.... I have installed lubuntu and want it to use it as a work machine but i cant get the printer To work properly... can someone help me?
[10:47] <daftykins> CantFindBackToSl: more like /media/somethinghere but yeah
[10:47] <goju> I get this : sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt
[10:47] <daftykins> goju: i don't think it's telling you what you typed in
[10:47] <goju> I get this :mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
[10:47] <mgc-svetatroica> can someone help me with printer configuration on lubuntu???
[10:47] <daftykins> goju: yep then it returns to the prompt?
[10:47] <CantFindBackToSl> daftykins: Mh, okay, I've just read somewhere that /media was for user-mounts and mnt for root/system.
[10:47] <goju> yes
[10:47] <daftykins> mgc-svetatroica: might be handy if you state the make and model :)
[10:48] <TomyWork> "sudo apt-get install libart-2.0-2:i386" gives me "Package libart-2.0-2:i386 is not available, but is referred to by another package.". How do i install the 32 bit vesion of that package on a 64 bit trusty?
[10:48] <daftykins> goju: cool, that means it worked - now "ls /mnt/" and you should see the data on that disk - you can also browse to it with nautilus (the GUI file manager)
[10:48] <flaymond> TomyWork: have you hit the <TAB>
[10:48] <goju> ok running "ls /mnt/"
[10:49] <flaymond> TomyWork: or try running apt-cache search libart-
[10:50] <flaymond> if not available, you have to compile it from source.
[10:51] <TomyWork> flaymond what good would tab do if i already know the package name?
[10:51] <mgc-svetatroica> can someone help me with printer configuration on lubuntu??? i want to migrate fully to linux but i cant get the printer to work like it works on windows...
[10:51] <flaymond> TomyWork: I missed your previous comments
[10:51] <daftykins> mgc-svetatroica: as i already said you should state the printer make + model to get help! otherwise nobody will even try!
[10:52] <flaymond> TomyWork: but have you try to install it? (I really can't find your old comments, I'm using web client)
[10:53] <TomyWork> as said, "sudo apt-get install libart-2.0-2:i386" gives me "Package libart-2.0-2:i386 is not available, but is referred to by another package."
[10:54] <flaymond> you on 64 bit?
[10:54] <TomyWork> yes
[10:54] <TomyWork> i also mentioned that in my original question :)
[10:54] <flaymond> I can't scrolling, sorry TomyWork
[10:54] <mgc-svetatroica> My printer is Canon MF4410  i have instaled som divers but it says MF4400  not 4410
[10:55] <daftykins> mgc-svetatroica: that doesn't matter, they often speak of an entire range - not a specific model.
[10:55] <SopaXT> How do I force the OS to use intel backlight instead of acpi?
[10:55] <flaymond> so, the package not available for your 64 system I guess?
[10:56] <daftykins> SopaXT: add the kernel boot parameter of acpi_backlight=vendor i think it is, but confirm online
[10:56] <acosonic> mgc-svetatroica: Serbia is the best country in the world :D
[10:56] <CantFindBackToSl> Now it's just weird that I've set the options to "fmask=0022,dmask=0000,uid=1000,gid=1000" and all files are 0777.
[10:56] <SopaXT> No, it didn't work
[10:56] <mgc-svetatroica> yes but when i print a page i get lines witch should`t be there
[10:56] <daftykins> CantFindBackToSl: has your issue been resolved?
[10:57] <mgc-svetatroica> so is there a way to fix it?
[10:57] <acosonic> mgc-svetatroica: try a proper page setup? A4 instead of Letter?
[10:57] <CantFindBackToSl> daftykins: Well, I have successfully mounted it to /media/foo nowm but all files are 0777, so yes, I can execute now, but I expected the rights to be more like 0755.
[10:58] <daftykins> CantFindBackToSl: better fine tune your mount then :)
[10:58] <CantFindBackToSl> daftykins: So up to this point thanks for your help. :)
[10:58] <daftykins> no problem
[10:58] <CantFindBackToSl> daftykins: My options are fmask=0022,dmask=0000,uid=1000,gid=1000, shouldn't that make it 0755?
[10:58] <daftykins> sorry, i gotta head out now
[10:59] <CantFindBackToSl> Ok, no problem.
[10:59] <CantFindBackToSl> Maybe someone else here knows what's wrong.
[10:59] <flaymond> because TomyWork, on 64-system, the package might be available, on different package
[10:59] <mgc-svetatroica> i get the same result on all pages no matter what  A4 pdf even the test page
[11:00] <flaymond> that's why apt-cache will give you a chance to find the 'other' packages
[11:00] <CantFindBackToSl> Oh no, I'm an idiot. NVM.
[11:01] <TomyWork> there's this: http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/liba/libart-lgpl/libart-2.0-2_2.3.21-2_i386.deb
[11:01] <TomyWork> can i just install that on a 64 bit system or would that not be good?
[11:01] <acosonic> mgc-svetatroica: Well then try using some generic drivers or different ones, have you tried this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/182529/how-do-i-get-my-canon-mf4410-printer-to-work
[11:01] <goju> daftykins: thanx for your help , but why the disc does not mount on its own
[11:02] <TomyWork> it has /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu in it, so it should work, right?
[11:02] <mgc-svetatroica> y i installed them and now the printer is working but with this strange lines
[11:02] <flaymond> TomyWork, as long you have the required libraries to run different ELF
[11:03] <TomyWork> which ones?
[11:03] <acosonic> mgc-svetatroica: http://askubuntu.com/questions/304174/messed-up-characters-in-pdf-printed-from-ubuntu-12-10 something like that ?
[11:04] <flaymond> TomyWork: This might be helpful
[11:04] <flaymond> http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-install-a-32bit-program-in-64bit-ubuntu
[11:05] <flaymond> TomyWork: if you running higher than 13.x.x, try install - lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0
[11:05] <mgc-svetatroica> no the line is going from one side to the other side of the page its about 2cm in hight and goes across the whole page
[11:06] <acosonic> mgc-svetatroica: are you sure it's not your toner that's broken, does it print properly from Windows or Mac? Try connecting it to different machine or virtual machine
[11:07] <mgc-svetatroica> on windwos its working fine
[11:10] <mgc-svetatroica> some ideas? anyone?
[11:12] <flaymond> mgc-svetatroica - i think it's better to post about this on Ubuntu Forums.
[11:12] <flaymond> your issue might need different ways, knowledges to get fixed.
[11:13] <TomyWork> flaymond uhm, i might be wrong but those look like the old way of doing multiarch
[11:14] <acosonic> mgc-svetatroica: have you tried updating canon UFR?
[11:14] <flaymond> TomyWork: have you tried the dependencies I told to install?
[11:14] <mgc-svetatroica> how do i do that?
[11:14] <TomyWork> flaymond i dont want to break my system, so no
[11:15] <flaymond> you can purge that out..
[11:15] <acosonic> mgc-svetatroica: https://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-a-canon-printer-on-debian-and-debian-like-systems
[11:15] <nokia> hello
[11:15] <MrElendig> TomyWork: what are you trying to install?
[11:15] <flaymond> mgc-svetatroica: http://ubuntuforums.org/index.php
[11:15] <TomyWork> MrElendig ibm/lotus notes 9
[11:16] <MrElendig> don't they have 64bit builds? they used to
[11:16] <TomyWork> nope, never had
[11:16] <TomyWork> it's java, so i assume it's hard to port to 64 bits
[11:16] <MrElendig> I know they have had, because I've used it at work
[11:16] <TomyWork> MrElendig do you remember which version?
[11:17] <MrElendig> was ages ago though
[11:17] <SopaXT> Help! How do I force ubuntu to use intel_backlight, not acpi
[11:17] <flaymond> TomyWork: from this webpage, it seems the libart-2.0 available on wide architecture
[11:17] <flaymond> https://packages.debian.org/sid/libart-2.0-2
[11:18] <flaymond> so, the chance are pretty high...for 64 bit
[11:18] <flaymond> (just need to download, and install, in this case, might be not from ubuntu downstream)
[11:21] <TomyWork> flaymond i'm currently manually installing the dependencies from the ubuntu package repos for trusty
[11:22] <TomyWork> i dont see how getting them from debian-sid is better
[11:22] <Bernzel> Is there a way to see if I run my Graphic Cards driver or my intergrated graphics? I have a lot of lag playing videos from streaming sites that I didn't have before when running windows.
[11:22] <TomyWork> my problem is that this should work automatically, but doesnt
[11:23] <TomyWork> some packges show up with the :i386 suffix, some dont, despite being available with the i386 architecture
[11:23] <TomyWork> and being tagged with multiarch: same/allowed
[11:25] <flaymond> TomyWork: apt-cache show libart-2.0?
[11:25] <flaymond> then post the output
[11:26] <flaymond> TomyWork: from this website, this package available for amd64
[11:28] <flaymond> TomyWork: you can manually install this manually (adding debian key address, you can google for instructions)
[11:31] <e01> how can i use preload for a apps that are located outside /usr/bin, i mean i want to put eclipse on it but it is installed on /opt
[11:33] <flaymond> TomyWork: Sorry, previous link is wrong. Here the right one: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/amd64/libart-2.0-2/download
[11:36] <razvan> zenix
[11:37] <zipn> Hey guys, is Terra Terminal out for ubuntu? I don't seem to be able to find it! And I want it!
[11:38] <zipn> the ppa I found, didnt work. :(
[11:38] <TomyWork> so, yeah, apt-get install $package_name:i386 did work for everything but libart-2.0-2.
[11:38] <flaymond> TomyWork: working?
[11:38] <TomyWork> couldnt use apt-get -f install because this silly ibm-notes package uses only Pre-Depends
[11:39] <TomyWork> meaning it doesnt even get unpacked, and thus apt-get -f install has nothing to work on
[11:39] <flaymond> TomyWork: which you referring to?
[11:40] <flaymond> zipn: hi
[11:40] <zipn> Hey
[11:40] <flaymond> zipn: https://github.com/ozcanesen/terra-terminal
[11:40] <atralheaven_> Hi
[11:41] <atralheaven_> guys I still have problem with ubuntu 14.04
[11:41] <flaymond> zipn: how about from source? Seems it using Python, and portability might not be the real issue.
[11:41] <flaymond> Hi atralheaven
[11:41] <xxxxx_> hello
[11:41] <flaymond> What's the problem?
[11:41] <atralheaven_> should I go for 15.04?
[11:41] <cedric_> hello
[11:41] <xxxxx_> this ubuntu is nice
[11:41] <cedric_> I;m using crunchbangplusplus
[11:41] <xxxxx_> just starting to use
[11:41] <flaymond> atralheaven: I don't know why you should go for 15.04
[11:41] <flaymond> xxxxx: true
[11:42] <TomyWork> flaymond libart wasnt the only dependency
[11:42] <TomyWork> there were a couple dozen more
[11:42] <atralheaven_> I don't know actually, I want stability, my system is acting weird
[11:42] <xxxxx_> i lost 2-3 days to instal a stable ubuntu with all programs,but still miss the motherboard nootebook driver
[11:43] <atralheaven_> sometimes it freezes, and nothing works, I have to manually power off my laptop, I don't want that!
[11:43] <flaymond> altralheaven: a good way to fix that, are by re-installing.
[11:43] <atralheaven_> I thought it can be from nvidia graphic driver
[11:44] <flaymond> altralheaven: can you give your PC specs?
[11:44] <xxxxx_> yes,i have this problem some thimes to
[11:44] <xxxxx_> my screen freez
[11:44] <atralheaven_> I set the graphic mode from switchable to intel
[11:44] <xxxxx_> is about video driver
[11:44] <atralheaven_> I even can't reach other terminals
[11:44] <atralheaven_> I have a Lenovo Z500 laptop
[11:45] <atralheaven_> 6gig ram, core i5
[11:45] <flaymond> xxxxx, atralheaven: I don't use Ubuntu since they bloated and big.
[11:45] <flaymond> altralheaven: that's actually fine.
[11:45] <flaymond> altralheaven: have you tried other alternative?
[11:46] <atralheaven_> alternative for?
[11:46] <atralheaven_> driver? I did
[11:46] <atralheaven_> it broke up my entire system :| it was nvidia "tested" driver!
[11:46] <flaymond> altralheaven: a lot of users complaining about freezing problem on Ubuntu
[11:46] <ikonia> flaymond: where ?
[11:47] <ikonia> flaymond: where are these users complaining, how many is "a lot"
[11:47] <ikonia> atralheaven_: what is the actual problem you have ?
[11:47] <flaymond> ikonia: I gonna say it's a lot..for users that have low-specs
[11:47] <ikonia> flaymond: how many is a lot
[11:47] <ikonia> what is "low spec"
[11:47] <flaymond> but for altral, might not be
[11:47] <ikonia> where are all these users ?
[11:48] <flaymond> ikonia: I can't count
[11:48] <ikonia> flaymond: ok - so you are just making up random statements then
[11:48] <flaymond> ikonia: is this a forum?
[11:48] <ikonia> no
[11:48] <ikonia> atralheaven_: explain/summerise your issue
[11:49] <chereraandres> have someone try Ubuntu Mate..? is it good ?
[11:49] <flaymond> yes chere
[11:50] <ikonia> chereraandres: it's a linux distribtuion with the mate desktop, if you like the mate desktop, it's as good/bad as most others
[11:50] <chereraandres> great, but what about performance
[11:50] <k1l> chereraandres: if you like the old gnome2 look its worth a try
[11:50] <atralheaven_> I actually don't know what's the problem, but I can tell how is it
[11:50] <chereraandres> is lighter than unity?
[11:50] <atralheaven_> mate is actually the gnome 2
[11:50] <ikonia> atralheaven_: summerise your issue
[11:50] <atralheaven_> yes it is
[11:50] <ikonia> mate is not gnome2
[11:51] <ikonia> gnome2 is dead
[11:51] <chereraandres> so mate == gnome 2 ?
[11:51] <ikonia> no
[11:51] <chereraandres> is a fork?
[11:51] <atralheaven_> yes
[11:51] <auronandace> mate is a fork of gnome 2
[11:51] <ikonia> it is based on gnome2 - but taken foward and developed
[11:51] <ikonia> the gnome 2 codebase is dead
[11:51] <chereraandres> awesome... i love gnome2
[11:51] <chereraandres> i will give it a try on mate
[11:51] <atralheaven_> once I explained here : http://pastebin.com/03pVPCEZ
[11:51] <flaymond> hate gnome3
[11:52] <Patte> hello
[11:52] <Patte> how do I get an existing environment variable into a new one? i just need to get another name for it
[11:52] <atralheaven_> linux mint team work on it, I don't know its better on ubuntu or mint
[11:52] <ikonia> atralheaven_: just give a basic summary of your issue here
[11:52] <flaymond> hope GTK+4 will be available pretty soon.
[11:52] <chereraandres> yes, gnome3 is trying to get fancy but that slow down performance a lot
[11:52] <SopaXT> Okay, so I have intel_backlight and thinkpad_screen in /sys/class/backlight. thinkpad_screen seems not to work, so I need to force intel_backlight to be hsed
[11:52] <jpds> chereraandres: Everyone's getting fancy, it's called evolution
[11:52] <Patte> say i have $FOO with content "foo" I wanna get $BAR as an alias for $FOO as well
[11:53] <flaymond> You can try xubuntu
[11:53] <atralheaven_> sometimes it freezes, and nothing works, I cant even reach terminal with ctr+alt F1,2 ect
[11:53] <cfhowlett> !who
[11:53] <SopaXT> Anyone?
[11:53] <ikonia> anyone what ?
[11:53] <k1l> atralheaven_: see the logs "dmesg" and "syslog" afterwards to get a clue what was going on.
[11:54] <ikonia> atralheaven_: if the whole system is hanging - that is normally a hardware problem, or a hardware incompatability with linux
[11:54] <SopaXT> ikonia: okay, so I have intel_backlight and thinkpad_screen in /sys/class/backlight. thinkpad_screen seems not to work, so I need to force intel_backlight to be hsed
[11:54] <atralheaven_> ikonia: can it be from a driver?
[11:54] <chereraandres> thanks for the advise, i will try mate!!!
[11:54] <ikonia> atralheaven_: that seems unlikely
[11:54] <k1l> SopaXT: see if some of those answers solve that issue: http://askubuntu.com/questions/476664/cannot-change-backlight-brightness-ubuntu-14-04
[11:55] <atralheaven_> ikonia: look at this picture https://www.dropbox.com/s/i8a1nk9vuw465l7/CAM00109-1.jpg?dl=0
[11:55] <Rubas> if the temperature on my CPU is 97 celcius, should I clean my heatsink and fans?
[11:55] <SopaXT> k1l, already, no effect
[11:55] <ikonia> atralheaven_: and ?
[11:55] <k1l> atralheaven_: did you try the fglrx driver?
[11:56] <flow> s
[11:56] <atralheaven_> ikonia: this happened when I switched to a tty terminal, everything was ok, but when I got there, this was repeating, and again, I couldn't do anything
[11:56] <cfhowlett> Rubas, that's not a critical temp, but if you've got the box cracked open, of course you should clean
[11:56] <ikonia> atralheaven_: you said you couldn't switch TTY's a minute ago
[11:56] <auronandace> k1l: that would be for amd/ati cards
[11:56] <Rubas> cfhowlett: You think the temperature will fall if I clean it?
[11:56] <Rubas> I got a air-sprayer
[11:56] <atralheaven_> ikonia: yes, when system freezes, I can't
[11:57] <cfhowlett> Rubas, cleaning never hurts
[11:57] <atralheaven_> ikonia: that time I was here, and I just took a look overthere, and this happened
[11:57] <k1l> atralheaven_: ah yes, did you try the nvidia-current driver? auronandace is right i mixed ati with nvidia
[11:58] <atralheaven_> my graphic card is nvidia and intel, I thought if I disable switchable graphic card it will be ok, but it didnt
[11:58] <atralheaven_> ikonia: one time I tried to install nvidia driver
[11:59] <atralheaven_> ikonia: before that problems, just for testing, I couldn't login to my system, I can't remember what was the error,
[12:00] <atralheaven_> ikonia: I used the ubuntu gui to install that driver
[12:01] <Johnny_Linux> atralheaven_ , k1l  is responding to you.
[12:01] <atralheaven_> ikonia: I want to stay on ubuntu, unity works fine, I don't want to change to an other distro, but I should fix these problems
[12:02] <atralheaven_> k1l: the driver I tested that time (one or two month ago) was nvidia tested I think
[12:02] <atralheaven_> k1l: how can I try this?
[12:05] <btorch> morning
[12:08] <k1l> atralheaven_: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[12:08] <k1l> atralheaven_: or use the prop. driver tab in system settings -> software and updates
[12:09] <atralheaven_> k1l: im downloading it :)
[12:09] <atralheaven_> I hope what happened before doesn't happen again
[12:09] <k1l> atralheaven_: some video cards need the nomodeset setting
[12:10] <k1l> !nomodeset | atralheaven_
[12:10] <atralheaven_> when finished I will reboot and tell you the result
[12:10] <atralheaven_> k1l: Im reading that page, thank you!
[12:11] <atralheaven_> I will be back
[12:13] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[12:17] <dohzer> other than ~/.bashrc, where does PATH come from?
[12:17] <EriC^^> ~/.profile
[12:17] <acosonic> mgc-svetatroica: any luck?
[12:19] <dohzer> EriC^^: thanks. Anywhere else? For instance, I don't see "/usr/bin" in either of those files, but it's still part of $PATH
[12:19] <EriC^^> dohzer: /etc/environment too
[12:20] <dohzer> BINGO! Thanks a lot for that. :)
[12:20] <EriC^^> dohzer: no problem :)
[12:31] <bijan_> hi friends, I am a bit stuck choosing a mysql 5.6 automatic backup solution for 14.04LTS. Usually I would like to use automysqlbackup but I get the error described here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/497531/mysql-5-6-depends-on-client-5-5
[12:31] <bijan_> another option is this script here: https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/MySQL/Backup
[12:31] <bijan_> basically a cronjob script
[12:31] <bijan_> https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/MySQL/Backup#Das-Skript
[12:32] <bijan_> is it still relevant for 14.04LTS (it was written for 12.04)=
[12:32] <bijan_> ?
[12:32] <bijan_> How do you backup mysql databases?
[12:33] <Pantsu> dump it
[12:33] <ruwan> Hello, can someone tell me a virus guard for ubuntu?
[12:34] <Pantsu> ruwan: rkhunter if you know how to use it
[12:34] <sachin_a> .
[12:34] <ruwan> GUI or command line?
[12:36] <ruwan> I installed clamav. But it works only command line.
[12:36] <sachin_a> Where can I get free themes for ubuntu ?
[12:37] <sachin_a> .
[12:37] <EriC^^> !themes
[12:38] <sachin_a> I want theme for unity
[12:38] <ruwan> rkhunter, just only rootkit hunter?
[12:39] <bazhang> !find chkrootkit
[12:39] <bazhang> ruwan, ^
[12:40] <SopaXT> How do I run scripts on XF86Kbd events!
[12:40] <SopaXT> ?
[12:40] <bazhang> SopaXT, what is that details needed
[12:40] <k1l> ruwan: rkhunter is not the same thing as the blinky one click antivirus from windows. tl;dr you dont need that blinky programs on ubuntu
[12:41] <bazhang> !shiny
[12:41] <ruwan> How about comodo antivirus? Anyone use it?
[12:41] <ikonia> rootkit hunting is a pointless waste of time
[12:41] <bazhang> not needed ruwan
[12:41] <SopaXT> bazhang, googled it myself, sorry
[12:41] <bazhang> no problem
[12:42] <k1l> ruwan: dont install stuff from websites or 3rd parties that you dont trust
[12:42] <jonascj> Hi all. I am running ubuntu 14.04, and starting today, gnome-terminal crashes when I do "ls -la"  in any directory (it also crashes on 'git status' in git repos, on 'help' in the terminal etc.). Any ideas how to debug this?
[12:42] <bazhang> the rootkit hunter is not really needed either ruwan
[12:42] <ikonia> jonascj: could you define crashes
[12:42] <ruwan> comodo has good name
[12:42] <bazhang> ruwan, not needed at all
[12:43] <vidhan> how can I download kickass torrents from terminal ?
[12:43] <bazhang> vidhan, thats piracy dont ask here
[12:43] <jonascj> ikonia: sure, the gnome terminal window disappears, and any processes launched from that window terminates (e.g. 'gedit&')
[12:43] <SopaXT> Not all torrents are piracy
[12:43] <bazhang> so what
[12:43] <ruwan> You say no need a virus guard for ubuntu?
[12:44] <SopaXT> And what is 'kickass' here
[12:44] <bazhang> ruwan, no
[12:44] <ikonia> jonascj: can you open another terminal and launch a second terminal from it without it crashing ?
[12:44] <bazhang> SopaXT, a piracy site, time to move on
[12:44] <SopaXT> Ah
[12:44] <vidhan> bazhang: I can download ubuntu iso too from there :P
[12:45] <vidhan> not every thing is pirated
[12:45] <jonascj> ikonia: 1) "ctrl+t" to open one terminal, 2) "gnome-terminal" to open a second from the first, 3) "ls -la" in the first terminal window closes both windows (terminates any gnome-terminal process I assume)
[12:46] <ikonia> jonascj: can you launch xterm
[12:46] <jonascj> ikonia: "ls -la" works from xterm
[12:46] <SopaXT> I have a script that has to be runned at the backlight keys
[12:46] <SopaXT> How to do this?
[12:46] <ikonia> jonascj: from xterm can you launch gnome terminal
[12:46] <ruwan> Does Linux require an anti-virus?
[12:46] <ruwan>     Definitely. It used to be the case that Linux was not heavily targeted by malware writers for two main reasons. Firstly, the general popularity of Linux amongst home users wasn't very high. This meant hackers had a low number of potential victims and hence a low 'return on investment' for their efforts. It was always far more lucrative to attack Windows because of its large user base. Secondly, the fact that there are many variations (distributions) of
[12:46] <ruwan> the Linux OS meant virus programmers would have to create and test separate attack code for each of them. Compare this to Windows where a single virus code is capable of infecting everybody that uses the operating system. In the past few years, however, both these points have been eroded. Firstly, there is a general increase in the popularity of the OS with more and more home users adopting Linux. The fact that major computer distributors like Dell are
[12:47] <ruwan> shipping desktops and laptops with Linux per-installed is testament to this shift. Secondly, the run-away popularity of easy-to-use distributions like Ubuntu has consolidated the fragmented Linux user base. Unfortunately, this makes it easier for hackers to create a single piece of virus code that will hit millions of users.
[12:48] <jonascj> ikonia: I can only launch xterm from gnome-terminal (the normal run command in ubuntu does not work, neither does the software center, I fear something is completely wrong). Since it is just a VM with only a single application installed I might as well just reinstall the vm
[12:48] <jonascj> ikonia: thank you for your assistance
[12:48] <ikonia> jonascj: sounds like a lot is wrong
[12:48] <ikonia> jonascj: has this ever worked ?
[12:49] <atralheaven_> ok im back :) I installed the driver, system booted, everything looks ok
[12:49] <jonascj> ikonia: yes yes, it worked completely fine a week ago, but who knows, maybe I tried something which replaced libc or similar, which is now showing after a restart.
[12:49] <ikonia> something that replaced libc ??? what did you do ?
[12:51] <jonascj> ikonia: I use it to test different compilers (e.g. newest versions of gcc) and going along with all dependencies might have messed up something critical to the basic functionality of the OS (like requiring a newer glibc or similar). I just remembered this when I realized I could not use the 'run command' and 'software center'.
[12:51] <ikonia> yeah, your box is probably screwed
[12:51] <bazhang> full reinstall
[12:52] <jonascj> ikonia: it would be a fun exercise to restore it, which should be possible. But being a VM I will just restore it to a previous state I think. Sorry for not remembering earlier that this was my compiler-test box, but thank you for your assistance.
[12:52] <atralheaven_> if you want to reinstall, keep some stuff from your home folder, they're important!
[12:53] <ioria> jonascj, check   /tmp   should be drwxrwxrwt    root root
[12:54] <axwhy> hi there
[12:55] <axwhy> why my laptop so hot using ubuntu 14.04
[12:55] <axwhy> using process amd fx-7600p
[12:55] <atralheaven_> but actually, its better to solve the problem, reinstalling is kind of windows thing!
[12:58] <atralheaven_> I want to backup my system, coping everything, so with the restore everything would be like it is now, what tool do you suggest? rsync seems good, that it just copy changed parts, right?
[13:01] <yecril71pl> When I remove Test User from the system, Nautilus still reports that the owner is Test User.
[13:01] <Beliq> atralheaven_ yes rsync is syncing only the changed parts.
[13:02] <yecril71pl> (of a file that used to be owned by Test User)
[13:03] <MarinZ> Hello I installed ubuntu 15:04 his laptop Lenovo G580 put all drivers with nvidia graphics card g635M, but when you turn on the monitor via HDMI processor I began to heat up? Can you help me?
[13:10] <yecril71pl> Moreover, when I make a new user, the home folder of the new user is reported to have been owned by the old user.
[13:11] <Ben64> yecril71pl: pastebin everything
[13:11] <yecril71pl> !pastebin
[13:14] <atralheaven_> what can cause unusual battery usage when laptop is putted on sleep?
[13:16] <yecril71pl> Ben64: http://imgur.com/V5yoTJK is how the home director for Old User looks in Nautilus after I have created it.
[13:16] <yecril71pl> Observe how Nautilus got the user name wrong.
[13:17] <Ben64> the group must still exist then
[13:17] <yecril71pl> It is a new user and a new group.
[13:17] <yecril71pl> The old user exists now.
[13:17] <Ben64> see how it says owner 1006, thats because the user doesn't exist
[13:17] <yecril71pl> The user exists.
[13:18] <Ben64> it doesn't...
[13:18] <yecril71pl> I have just created the user.
[13:18] <Ben64> how
[13:19] <yecril71pl> I created a new user account in system settings.
[13:20] <dzejms> What should I set in my .vimrc to use Ubuntu clipboard?
[13:21] <Ben64> yecril71pl: pastebin the output of "cat /etc/passwd | grep 100[0-9]"

[13:24] <tomodachi> hi , i want to install full disk encrypted ubuntu, but im dualbooting OSX, does anyone have any tutorial I can follow? the wizzard either erases the entire disk or allows "other" options
[13:24] <tomodachi> or perhaps give me some pointers
[13:25] <yecril71pl> OK got it
[13:25] <yecril71pl> Ben64: olduser:x:1006:1006:Old user,,,:/home/olduser:/bin/bash
[13:26] <Ben64> yecril71pl: ok so i'm not understanding what problem you're having
[13:26] <yecril71pl> That Nautilus gets the user name wrong, as you can see in the screen shot.
[13:26] <Ben64> you mean it says 1006
[13:27] <yecril71pl> That is what I mean.
[13:27] <Ben64> what does "ls -ld /path/to/the/folder" say
[13:28] <yecril71pl> drwxr-xr-x 2 olduser olduser 4096 wrz  1 15:12 /home/olduser
[13:29] <sachin_a> I am using ubuntu 14.04 . When I go to setting and try to decrease brightness it is not decreasing. How to solve this?
[13:29] <Ben64> yecril71pl: then its fine
[13:29] <yecril71pl> It is definitely not fine what I see in Nautilus.
[13:30] <geirha> yecril71pl: Does ''getent passwd 1006'' output more than one line?
[13:30] <Ben64> restart nautilus
[13:30] <Ben64> if uid bugs you that much
[13:31] <yecril71pl> geirha: just one line
[13:31] <yecril71pl> Ben64: How do I restart Nautilus?
[13:32] <Ben64> kill it, and start it again
[13:32] <MarinZ> :D
[13:32] <MarinZ> reboot better
[13:32] <MarinZ> it's the same
[13:32] <geirha> pkill nautilus
[13:32] <yecril71pl> And install Microsoft Windows instead :-)
[13:32] <geirha> gnome should start it again automatically
[13:32] <MarinZ> xaxa
[13:32] <yecril71pl> Please, your recipes are getting too funny.
[13:33] <yecril71pl> ROTFLing at work is not recommended.

[13:44] <sachin_a> ok!!
[13:46] <ActionParsnip> sachin_a: what make and model system?
[13:48] <sachin_a> you mean??
[13:49] <ActionParsnip> sachin_a: is the system a Dell, or an ACER or an Asus?
[13:49] <ActionParsnip> sachin_a: or a home build
[13:49] <ActionParsnip> sachin_a: if you dont know, there is a command to tell you
[13:50] <sachin_a> acer aspire 5740. Intel hd as graphic
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> sachin_a: http://www.linlap.com/acer_aspire_5740   10.04 seems to have this issue too
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> sachin_a: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1580695     seems to need the boot option:     acpi_osi=     and it'll work
[13:52] <sachin_a> let me check that out!
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> sachin_a: 5742 seems to use:    acpi_backlight=vendor
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> sachin_a: try both, see if either helps
[13:53] <sachin_a> ok.. thanks buddy!
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> sachin_a: all did was search the web....
[13:54] <sachin_a> well i stopped doing that after trying couple of times
[13:57] <nosmelc> I'm using a Lubuntu Live flash drive to copy data off an unbootable Win7 laptop to an external hard drive.  I keep getting an "error splicing file: input/output error."  Any ideas?
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> nosmelc: is the NTFS partition healthy?
[13:58] <nosmelc> ActionParsnip I don't know.  I know Win7 isn't booting
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> nosmelc: why do you not have a regular backup? What if the drive motor or IDE fails...where is your data?
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> nosmelc: if the NTFS isn't right then Ubuntu will have a hard time reading it
[13:59] <nosmelc> ActionParsnip it's a friend's laptop, actually
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> nosmelc: can you not drop to safe mode recovery console and run a chkdsk?
[13:59] <nosmelc> ActionParsnip I can try that
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> nosmelc: tell your friend they need to look into a backup
[13:59] <nosmelc> ActionParsnip I thought I'd try getting a copy before I did a chkdsk
[14:00] <nosmelc> some of the pictures and videos are getting that error
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> nosmelc: chkdsk should straighten out the file system
[14:02] <nosmelc> ActionParsnip I'll try that.  thanks
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> nosmelc: remember, NTFS is a proprietary file system so only Microsoft truly know how it works. The access in Linux is a best effort
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> nosmelc: you may find bootable BartPE disks which is like a bootable Windows CD, it may be able to read the NTFS as well.
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> nosmelc: or, just make a note of tyhe troublesome files and work around them in Ubuntu
[14:03] <nosmelc> ActionParsnip work around them?
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> nosmelc: yes, remove them from the scope of the recovery (dont copy the bad files)
[14:04] <nosmelc> ActionParsnip ohh ok.  I want to get them if possible.  don't want him to lose any family pictures
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> nosmelc: I dont think you will get a 100% recovery if the file system is screwed
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> nosmelc: again, a backup to a cheap USB drive would save you all this effort
[14:05] <nosmelc> ActionParsnip it's hard to convince people to do back ups ;)
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> nosmelc: they will learn if they learn the hard way

[15:01] <steinerlein> good morning #ubuntu
[15:01] <daftykins> lo
[15:02] <steinerlein> I need some help with cloning a partition (or two): I have a new SSD drive that I want to clone a windows and a ubuntu partition onto
[15:02] <Pici> Bernzel: I'm pretty sure you can't use Wine to run programs from your Windows install. You'll need to install them under Wine itself.
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> Pici: nice catch
[15:03] <Bernzel> Pici so I must move the whole software folder to the "fake" directory that Wine created?
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> Bernzel: yes, that simply wont work. If it did then piracy would be even more rife than it already is
[15:03] <Pici> Bernzel: No, you need to run the photoshop installer software under Wine.
[15:04] <steinerlein> The old drive is set up to have a ntfs partition with windows and an extended partition for ubuntu (swap and ext4). I cloned the partitions with dd, but I wasn't able to boot into windows, even though the file structure seems to be fine.
[15:05] <Bernzel> Pici that's what Im trying to do. But the exe is in the win folder.
[15:05] <steinerlein> I tried to fix everything using the windows install DVD and by reinstalling GRUB, but that didn't work
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> steinerlein: you will need to reinstate the boot loader then. ##windows will be able to advise.
[15:05] <Pici> Bernzel: then continue, just wanted to make sure our expectations were the same :)
[15:06] <daftykins> steinerlein: download clonezilla, put on flash drive as bootable, boot - choose disk to disk clone, enjoy
[15:06] <Bernzel> Pici Okey. But I need to cd into that directoy to run "wine Photoshop.exe". And I can't get in there :p

There is a patch on this page https://onedrive.live.com/?id=78C0847849FED8F1!112&cid=78C0847849FED8F1&group=0&parId=root&authkey=!AIxjisKGRA8_YNU&action=locate     but im not sure how to apply it.
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> mlll: I suggest you report a bug, this will be affecting more than yourself
[15:07] <steinerlein> daftykins: that won't work as the partitions don't have the same size.. The old drive is 1TB, the SSD 240GB
[15:07] <steinerlein> There is one partition between windows and ubuntu that I want to get rid of, too
[15:07] <samba35> is there any way to change log level for dmesg
[15:09] <lucidguy> Other than Exquilla via Thunderbird ($notfree), can anyone else recommend a client that supports Exchange.   Evolution does not seem to support modern Exchange servers and please don't say Outlook.
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> lucidguy: could use OWA
[15:11] <daftykins> steinerlein: it will since you can resize :)
[15:11] <steinerlein> also, using clonezilla to clone the windows partition gives this error: http://pastebin.com/f82Bgz2t
[15:11] <daftykins> steinerlein: are you resizing both OSs?
[15:11] <steinerlein> how would I do that?
[15:12] <sudomarize> I'm trying to get docker running on ubuntu, but when i'm in the docker container i can't download ubuntu packages, because archive.ubuntu.com can't be resolved. I think it might have something to do with the univerity network i use, how can i mitigate this?
[15:12] <steinerlein> right now I am booted into the ubuntu install on the old drive and trying to clone only the windows partition onto the ssd
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> sudomarize: what is the full output of:   sudo apt-get update; lsb_release -a; uname -a      please. Use pastie.org to hold the text (or similar). Thanks
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> !away > martins-afk
[15:15] <sudomarize> ActionParsnip: in the docker container or on my laptop? (btw: i can ping archive.ubuntu.com on my laptop, but not in the docker container, only the IP address works there).
[15:15] <Bernzel> How come only Common Files and Internet Explorer show inside Program Files(x86) when ls in terminal?
[15:16] <daftykins> because Wine isn't Windows.
[15:16] <sudomarize> ActionParsnip: here's the paste: http://pastie.org/10389836
[15:17] <daftykins> Bernzel: please direct your wine questions to them in their channel, makes more sense than here - to get it from source
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> sudomarize: Elementary isnt supported here
[15:17] <Bernzel> Ok thanks.
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> sudomarize: elementary has its own channel on freenode
[15:17] <sudomarize> ActionParsnip: there's never anyone there unfortunately. thanks anyway
[15:18] <ActionParsnip> sudomarize: then reinstall with real ubuntu and you can enjoy the full ubuntu support
[15:18] <ActionParsnip> sudomarize: if you start using spinoffs then you will get lesser support due to user base
[15:21] <steinerlein> ActionParsnip: Can you show you the output of clonezilla so that you can help me troubleshoot?
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> steinerlein: wrong dude, dude :)
[15:23] <steinerlein> you are right, daftykins, how about you?
[15:23] <BluesKaj> lotsa dudes
[15:24] <nvidia> hey I was looking for some help with my nvidia card>
[15:24] <daftykins> steinerlein: seeing what you're dealing with could be a handy start. "sudo parted -l | pastebinit"
[15:24] <wonko> ugh, stuck the remote-syslog2 deb from papertrail into my local apt repo. When I try to install it, however, I get this: WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
[15:24] <daftykins> nvidia: which one, what's up?
[15:24] <wonko> google has failed me on how that gets resolved
[15:26] <steinerlein> daftykins:http://paste.ubuntu.com/12246264/
[15:26] <nvidia> @daftykins its an 840M
[15:26] <nvidia> Nvidia Optimus
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> wonko: let me search
[15:26] <daftykins> nvidia: ok and the query?
[15:26] <nvidia> Theres a lot of flickering in the screen
[15:26] <nvidia> videos cannot be watched at all
[15:27] <nvidia> youtube also gives a lot of tearing
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> wonko: try:   sudo apt-key update
[15:27] <daftykins> this is with nvidia-prime?
[15:27] <nvidia> yes
[15:27] <wonko> ActionParsnip: already did that
[15:27] <nvidia> its a laptop
[15:27] <BluesKaj> !nvidia-prime | nvidia
[15:27] <daftykins> nvidia: dpkg -l | grep nvidia | pastebinit
[15:27] <wonko> ActionParsnip: I'm *thinking* it was maybe signed with a key, but shouldn't it complain about which one it's missing?
[15:27] <nvidia> I already have nvidia prime
[15:27] <nvidia> it works flawlessly, neatly allows me to switch
[15:27] <nvidia> no issues there
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> wonko: if you can find the key you can add it to the system. Its just a warning so should be ok t ignore
[15:28] <nvidia> In Nvidia only i get flicekring and tearing
[15:28] <wonko> ActionParsnip: sadly it causes apt-get to explode (the way puppet calls it at any rate)
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> nvidia: what browser(s) have you tried)
[15:28] <wonko> ActionParsnip: any idea how to find the key though?
[15:28] <nvidia> Firefox and google chrome
[15:29] <wonko> unless I just tell apt-get to stfu and install it anyway
[15:29] <daftykins> steinerlein: what i would do in your situation, is clone the first two NTFS partitions over - use Windows boot media to fix the boot (kill GRUB), resize the C: from within Windows - then clone the last NTFS, resize that from in Windows (if you want to)
[15:29] <nvidia> @ActionParsnip The videos dont play well in VLC either
[15:29] <daftykins> steinerlein: after that, i would create the extended with gparted in an ubuntu live session, clone the rest one by one with resizes where you want them in the same manner - then install GRUB from live too
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> nvidia: what is the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; nvidia-settings -q XVideoSyncToDisplay
[15:30] <nvidia> give me a few min
[15:30] <daftykins> nvidia: can you run the command i mentioned so i can see what's installed?
[15:30] <steinerlein> daftykins:the ubuntu clone works already, is there a way to let clonezilla figure out the first two partitions (and partition table) on its own?
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> wonko: could contact the devs: https://github.com/papertrail/remote_syslog2
[15:31] <daftykins> steinerlein: depends, are you wanting to resize the NTFS partitions?
[15:31] <wonko> ActionParsnip: I've got an issue opened with them. Still waiting for a response. Trying to figure this out in the meantime though
[15:32] <steinerlein> daftykins: I don't need to resize the first two, no. And the third one I want to get rid of anyway
[15:32] <steinerlein> The plan is to use the 1TB drive as data storage afterwards
[15:32] <daftykins> steinerlein: but you're going to end up having to move up the Linux ones - so it's probably pretty moot to bother preserving what you have there already?
[15:33] <steinerlein> daftykins: What do you mean by "move up"
[15:33] <daftykins> steinerlein: oh ignore that, the third NTFS is only on the old isn't it.
[15:33] <steinerlein> it is
[15:34] <tekkkz> hello, what is a networkgraph (up/down) good for?
[15:34] <Fjorgynn> so why is emacs the best text editor?
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> Fjorgynn: its not, none of them are
[15:34] <Fjorgynn> tekkkz: seeing how much bandwith you're currently using?
[15:34] <tekkkz> and what is this good for?
[15:34] <daftykins> steinerlein: your Windows drives may even be fine as-is, you might be better off just going straight for booting windows media and fixing boot with it, then reinstaling GRUB
[15:34] <steinerlein> daftykins: all the new partitions are bigger than their old counterpart, so I figured I could clone them with dd
[15:35] <steinerlein> daftykins: I tried that, several times.. Didn't work out
[15:35] <Fjorgynn> tekkkz: didn't I just say that?
[15:36] <tekkkz> hm, i see that im currently have 10kb download, and what is this info good for?
[15:36] <nvidia> yeah sorry about that
[15:36] <nvidia> needed to find my charger
[15:36] <daftykins> steinerlein: ok well i'd start again if it were me, doing as i first mentioned :)
[15:36] <nvidia> @ActionParsnip could you tell me the command again, sorry
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> nvidia: still awaiting that output.....
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> nvidia: what is the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; nvidia-settings -q XVideoSyncToDisplay
[15:37] <steinerlein> daftykins: Alright, thanks for your help!
[15:37] <daftykins> no problemo
[15:37] <nvidia> @ActionParsnip   Distributor ID:	Ubuntu Description:	Ubuntu 15.04 Release:	15.04 Codename:	vivid Linux aa481-HP-Pavilion-15-Notebook-PC 3.19.0-25-generic #26-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 24 21:17:31 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux   DEPRECATED: The attribute 'XVideoSyncToDisplay' is deprecated, Use             "XVideoSyncToDisplayID" instead.

[15:37] <parallax-lawrenc> Hey, I have a question regarding mounting disk images
[15:38] <daftykins> parallax-lawrenc: ok?
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> nvidia: I see
[15:38] <nvidia> any thoughts?
[15:38] <parallax-lawrenc> It seems to work fine using mount -o loop,rp /image /mount-path for the first disk
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> nvidia: Try enabling the setting "Override software rendering list" in chrome://flags
[15:39] <daftykins> nvidia: still important to see what i asked for too :P
[15:39] <parallax-lawrenc> then subsequent ones seem to be the same disk
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> nvidia: obviously in Chrome
[15:39] <steinerlein> daftykins: is clonezilla able to create the partitions as needed in unallocated space?
[15:39] <nvidia> no Chrome,  I removed it after the scrolling becameall choppy, only firefox now sadly
[15:39] <nvidia> @daftykins sorry could u let  me know the commands again?
[15:40] <daftykins> nvidia: your scroll bar feels lonely. dpkg -l | grep | pastebinit
[15:40] <daftykins> nvidia: ugh i messed it up hang on
[15:40] <parallax-lawrenc> It’s odd and it’s definitely something to do with the loop device somehow being the same, just can’t quite get my head around how/why
[15:40] <daftykins> nvidia: dpkg -l | grep nvidia | pastebinit
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> nvidia: are you using Unity shell?
[15:41] <nvidia> Yup
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> nvidia: tried a non-compositing session, like LXDE ?
[15:41] <nvidia> Downloaded Gnome yet to install as quite a few things to move
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> nvidia: sudo apt-get install lxde      log off and log in to LXDE session, is it ok
[15:42] <daftykins> optimus should be on a decent component combination before that, but non-unity is a good idea
[15:42] <nvidia> Only tried KDE, XFCE and unity
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> nvidia: daftykins also would like the output of:      dpkg -l | grep | pastebinit
[15:42] <daftykins> but for the love of Tux, lets see those driver versions before being too hasty ;)
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> nvidia: ah, XFCE is test enough
[15:42] <nvidia> @daftykins Im installing pastebinit give me a momen
[15:42] <daftykins> you must be on a cup and string internet connection ;)
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> nvidia: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/01/how-to-fix-video-tearing-in-videos-nvidia-ubuntu/   may work too, not sure if its relevant
[15:43] <john_doe_jr> how do you run a cron job manually?
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> john_doe_jr: crontab -l     copy the command and paste it to the terminal, press ENTER
[15:44] <geothom230> My software-center on ubuntu 14.04.03 crashed before open,how to fix this problem guys?
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> john_doe_jr: if its for another user:   sudo crontab -l -u usernamehere
[15:45] <john_doe_jr> ActionParsnip: isn't crontab -l just listing a users cron jobs?
[15:45] <daftykins> geothom230: try opening it in the terminal to see any errors it creates
[15:45] <nvidia> @daftykins paste.ubuntu.com/12246384/
[15:46] <ActionParsnip> john_doe_jr: yes but you can list ither users jobs if you ike, or even root's
[15:46] <nvidia> Sorry for the wait, it took a while honestly
[15:46] <nvidia> @ActionParsnip I'm taking a look at that link now
[15:46] <daftykins> nvidia: hmm ok so 346, that's fine as long as nvidia-settings says all is good.
[15:46] <geothom230> yeap but when i run software-center on terminal something says about python and javascript
[15:47] <daftykins> geothom230: right so take that output and put it into http://paste.ubuntu.com so helpers here can have a look, as we can't see over your shoulder from here :)
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> john_doe_jr: using the text, you can copy and paste the commands and run them as you wish
[15:47] <geothom230> i post the problem to ubuntu and other forums  and says that have big bug to open from openjdk problem
[15:48] <geothom230> i have openjdk7
[15:48] <ablegreen_w> For java plug-in support, there's Icetea. Does the official Java plug-in even work on Ubuntu?
[15:49] <geothom230> i spent all of times and i think the problem is mind from hard disk not at all have the last life and then is coming rip
[15:50] <Kalimero> how can i create and join a folder in one command?
[15:51] <aarobc> I have a system 76 Galago ultrapro, but I can't for the life of me get the hibernate to work.
[15:51] <geothom230> if i open firefox the web icetea plugin stack on javascript code of sites that have expired certification
[15:51] <aarobc> any ideas?
[15:51] <daftykins> aarobc: they have paid support right?
[15:51] <geothom230> its time to format the hard disk and solve all of this problem
[15:52] <daftykins> why not drop them a line since they earn money to do it? :)
[15:53] <aarobc> daftykins: I'm not sure, I suppose that's worth a shot
[15:54] <daftykins> beats volunteer IRC ;)
[15:55] <Pici> aarobc: they also have a channel here on freenode :)
[16:01] <kadiro> hi, when my brother connect whith his atheros to my modem i loose my connexion especially when he use idm, can any one help me on how to solve that?
[16:01] <daftykins> router you mean?
[16:01] <daftykins> so wifi
[16:01] <kadiro> yes daftykins
[16:01] <daftykins> what's he using? ubuntu x.x ?
[16:02] <joyce_> my ubuntu 15.04 is not supporting suspend action.Can someone help?
[16:02] <kadiro> no he use windows and i use ubuntu
[16:02] <kadiro> lubuntu*
[16:03] <daftykins> kadiro: if you reboot are you able to rejoin fine - and you both use it at the same time?
[16:04] <joyce_> Once the lid of the laptop is closed,when I reopen the system doesnt resume
[16:04] <joyce_> any idea?
[16:04] <daftykins> joyce_: no lights? no power on? no noises?
[16:04] <kadiro> daftykins: no i try that the same thing, i try also to reboot my router and i can connect but very slow
[16:04] <joyce_> no display
[16:04] <daftykins> joyce_: but _is it on_ ?
[16:05] <joyce_> yea,its on
[16:05] <joyce_> the system doesnt resume daftykins
[16:05] <daftykins> can you try switching TTYs with Ctrl+Alt+F1 through F7 ?
[16:05] <joyce_> I need to reboot again
[16:06] <aarobc> Is there a way to change the microphone volume from the command line? Every time I reboot it's up to 100, and that's wayy to loud for people on the other end.
[16:07] <Ben64> aarobc: alsamixer
[16:07] <aarobc> Ben64: I never got that to work
[16:08] <manlin> Ben64: pavucontrol
[16:08] <kadiro> daftykins: my router is HUAWEI HiLink
[16:08] <john_doe_jr> is there a way to display a web page in bitbucket?
[16:09] <kadiro> 4G
[16:09] <daftykins> kadiro: which ubuntu and kernel do you use?
[16:09] <kadiro> lubuntu 14.04.3 lts
[16:10] <daftykins> and which kernel? ("uname -r")
[16:10] <joyce_> daftykins: 3.16.0-46-generic
[16:11] <kadiro> 3.19.0-25-generic
[16:11] <daftykins> joyce_: hmm i meant kadiro but that's useful nonetheless, which release are you on? you said 15.04 but that's not 15.04's kernel
[16:12] <joyce_> 14.04
[16:12] <joyce_> daftykins: this will help you https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-lts-utopic/+bug/1491038
[16:12] <daftykins> joyce_: specifically? "cat /etc/issue" or "lsb_release -d"
[16:12] <kadiro> lol sorry
[16:12] <joyce_> daftykins: i have  reported my issue there
[16:12] <daftykins> kadiro: you could try a newer mainline kernel as a test
[16:12] <daftykins> !mainline | kadiro
[16:13] <joyce_> daftykins: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
[16:13] <daftykins> joyce_: did you try the key combos i suggested yet?
[16:13] <spacebug^> Can I use VNC without using a second X-server and also still be "logged out" from the remote computer?
[16:13] <joyce_> yea,I tried that
[16:13] <joyce_> it was working
[16:13] <kadiro> ok thank you, so I need to update a kernel?
[16:14] <daftykins> kadiro: no i am suggesting it to try, i give no guarantees - you're on vivid's 3.19 right now, so trying wily's 4.1 or newer could be worth a try
[16:14] <jack> out of curiosity: what happened to Vicious Vampire (why is there no v release)?
[16:14] <daftykins> joyce_: so you get a picture back from switching away then back to Alt+F7?
[16:14] <daftykins> !vivid | jack
[16:14] <daftykins> *ahem*.
[16:15] <jack> uh
[16:15] <joyce_> daftykins: I get the graphical display back
[16:15] <jack> vivid :) thx
[16:15] <daftykins> joyce_: so then it's working but a minor inconvenience
[16:16] <joyce_> daftykins: You mean,I should suspend the system and when lid is opened,I should have tried all these?
[16:16] <daftykins> joyce_: yes, since that is the fault we're testing ;)
[16:16] <ActionParsnip> jack: next release is Wily Wearwolf
[16:20] <joyce_> daftykins: No action
[16:20] <joyce_> no change
[16:20] <jack> ActionParsnip: i know - thx anyway
[16:20] <joyce_> the system is not responding
[16:21] <hwpplayer1> I couldn't see md5 or other things for 14.04.3 torrent download
[16:21] <daftykins> joyce_: ok, well what you have right there is an older kernel - utopic's HWE on trusty - i would move up to the vivid HWE and see how you get on
[16:21] <bazhang> !hashes
[16:21] <user_> i'm using 15.04, and the calculator that comes with it is very basic. documentation says that we can change modes for more advanced options, but there is no apparent way to change modes. help, please
[16:21] <kadiro> daftykins: I will choose wily 4.0.9 the newest stable and retun after to check if the problem gone thank you
[16:21] <daftykins> kadiro: no problem, good luck
[16:23] <eran> hi
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> user_: settings in the menu bar..?
[16:24] <joyce_> daftykins: So,what can I do now?
[16:24] <kadiro> daftykins: wait, he said in the link: you will need to uninstall the module first, in order to test the mainline kernel. If you do not uninstall these modules first, then the upstream kernel more than likely will not boot. ( How to do that ? )
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> user_: or mode, maybe...
[16:25] <user_> ActionParsnip: thanks, I just realized that the settings are showing at the top of the screen instead of the application
[16:25] <daftykins> joyce_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack - see the command here to install the vivid HWE kernel and other components
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> user_: yeah its a vertic al space saving thing. Some people dig it
[16:25] <joyce_> okay
[16:25] <daftykins> joyce_: as always, backup anything important and preferably have an ubuntu live session on a flash drive before running the above
[16:26] <user_> thanks again, ActionParsnip
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> user_: np dude
[16:26] <joyce_> daftykins: so,this will affect my data?
[16:26] <smartass> hi, where can I find detailed information about the relationship of Ubuntu LTS releases to Debian branches?
[16:26] <daftykins> joyce_: backup is just a wise precaution
[16:27] <smartass> I'm trying to determine the policy in LTS releases on version changes and backporting
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> smartass: the changelogs on Launchpad may help
[16:29] <smartass> ActionParsnip: that is a little too detailed to get the big picture ;)
[16:29] <joyce_> daftykins: I am facing some issues:https://dpaste.de/J68U
[16:30] <ActionParsnip> joyce_: what is the output of:  apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-lts-vivid libgl1-mesa-dri-lts-vivid libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-vivid; lsb_release -a
[16:31] <nvidia> @daftykins hey mate I hope ya there, something went wrong and now the desktop only shows my wallpaper
[16:31] <joyce_> ActionParsnip: https://dpaste.de/PDQy
[16:32] <nvidia> @ActionParsnip samething to what i said to dafty, I'm on windows now, the compiz settings did something and now desktop is wallpaper only
[16:33]  * SonikkuAmerica finds it hilariously bad that after 5 years, NVIDIA graphics are still terrible to configure on Ubuntu. 
[16:34] <daftykins> nvidia: wasn't me advising steps last, from what i remember
[16:34] <daftykins> SonikkuAmerica: no optimus is a totally different kettle of fish. hybrid graphics
[16:34] <nvidia> @SonikkuAmerica this has been going on for 5 years?
[16:34] <nvidia> @daftykins, yeah but right now i'll go for any advice i can get
[16:34] <daftykins> sorry, don't know what was done last.
[16:35] <daftykins> testing your guest session will confirm whether it's user config or system wide
[16:35] <joyce_> daftykins: Is this the command to be run:https://dpaste.de/Scz9?
[16:36] <nvidia> @ActionParsnip, OK i followed the link it said, to install compiz-manager, which I did then after some 5 seconds the screen went blank
[16:36] <daftykins> joyce_: yes as per the page i had linked
[16:36] <nvidia> Oh hell
[16:37] <daftykins> nvidia: do as i suggested, stop hopping between us.
[16:37] <nvidia> @daftykins Ok then what do u suggest
[16:37] <daftykins> i already said.
[16:38] <nvidia> I dont know how to go directly into a guest session as I disabled password login startup
[16:38] <joyce_> daftykins: That returned me:https://dpaste.de/J68U
[16:39] <daftykins> joyce_: yeah saw it, only someone else asked you to run things in the meantime. try a "sudo apt-get update" before retrying
[16:41] <ralph4100> when I use the command "export" in bash to add a directory to $PATH, do I need to add that command into a .bashrc file for it to persist? I didn't think so but seem to have lost functionality from a previous export
[16:41] <julian-delphiki> ralph4100: yes, you do.
[16:41] <julian-delphiki> ralph4100: otherwise it only persists in your current shell.
[16:42] <EriC^^> ralph4100: all export does is send it to any child processes of the shell
[16:42] <ralph4100> ok. so if I just add the exact same lines in a bashrc file I'm set
[16:42] <ralph4100> ?
[16:43] <julian-delphiki> in general there is nuance to your question :) but yes ralph4100
[16:44] <brainwash> !bash
[16:44] <daftykins> joyce_: if it made no difference, try a 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'
[16:44] <joyce_> daftykins: I ran the command  https://dpaste.de/qoDu and got  https://dpaste.de/PDQy
[16:44] <pbx> Kalimero, what do mean by 'join'?  Does this do what you want?  `mkdir foo && cd foo`
[16:46] <Kalimero> pbx: yes similar to that but one command like mkdire (make dir, enter)
[16:47] <daftykins> joyce_: yes i didn't ask for those though :)
[16:47] <shoaib> i get this error while trying to install kubuntu, please help http://pastebin.com/ZmcQKUj9
[16:48] <EriC^^> shoaib: open the dash > software & updates > 2nd tab remove the ppa
[16:49] <shoaib> http://ppa.launchpad.net/deluge-team/ppa/ubuntu
[16:49] <shoaib> this?
[16:49] <EriC^^> yeah i think so
[16:50] <pbx> Kalimero, you could make your own bash function to do that
[16:51] <Kalimero> pbx: i could but i thought there is maybe an easier way or something that already exists.
[16:53] <shoaib> wow it worked thanks a lot mate
[16:53] <EriC^^> no problem
[16:59] <aksinha> which is the best tool for android development?
[16:59] <TheNumb> aksinha: android studio
[17:00] <aksinha> thanks, but it is not lightweight
[17:00] <TheNumb> it's not.
[17:00] <souvik> how to connect windows phone with ubuntu?
[17:00] <brainwash> why should it be lightweight?
[17:00] <cfhowlett> aksinha, ask xda.developers those kind of questions
[17:00] <TheNumb> It won't ever be lightweight because it's an IDE, writen in java ;p
[17:00] <TheNumb> written even
[17:08] <souvik> hey plz anybody help me to connect windows phone with ubuntu
[17:13] <Kalimero> does anyone know the vlc parameter to open it borderless / framless ?
[17:19] <gaandubuntu> Hi people. I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and the software updater only shows 14.10 as the available update. Why does it not show whatever the latest version is, which I believe is 15.x?
[17:20] <xangua> gaandubuntu: because you can't skip releases, unless is LTS to LTS upgrade
[17:20] <MonkeyDust> gaandubuntu  because that's what it does, show the next release
[17:20] <xangua> Next LTS will be 16.04
[17:21] <MonkeyDust> xangua  you'll be able to upgrade 14.04 > 16.04
[17:21] <brainwash> Kalimero: try -no-video-deco
[17:21] <Kalimero> brainwash: i did seems to do nothing
[17:21] <brainwash> Kalimero: --
[17:22] <brainwash> Kalimero: so, it's --no-video-deco

[17:32] <ubuntu_user> Hello -- hoping to get some help from someone. I'm attempting to install a few packages in Vivid (15.04) that require libprotobuf8. A github issue references a PPA that provides this package but I can't seem to find it. Any help appreciated.
[17:34] <TheNumb> ubuntu_user: the proper way of doing that would be to rebuild the packages for vivid.
[17:37] <ubuntu_user> the_numb: yes, agreed.
[17:37] <ubuntu_user> TheNumb: but there are several packages I'm hitting this issue on
[17:37] <TheNumb> They must be outside the official repositories.
[17:38] <TheNumb> You might want to grab the old libprotobuf8 and rebuild it on vivid yourself.
[17:38] <ubuntu_user> TheNumb: From source? Or by adding utopic packages to apt?
[17:38] <TheNumb> rebuild from source
[17:38] <ubuntu_user> TheNumb: i.e., what's the best way to do this?
[17:41] <ubuntu_user> It appears the package is listed here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/vivid/amd64/libprotobuf8/2.5.0-9ubuntu1 but it's shown as deleted. Sorta silly.
[17:42] <TheNumb> ubuntu_user: it has been replaced by libprotobuf9

[17:44] <d3ad7rack> hi, having an issue with my laptop that is bugging the heck out of me....Did a clean install of 14.04.3 a few days ago on my Acer Ferrari One. Install wen't great, used LVM w/encryption; only issue is now when I shutdown the computer goes down, but the next time I power the machine on I will have to hold the power button down to kill the machine after turning it on; after powering on the machine the 2nd time the screen comes up that asks for encryption
[17:44] <d3ad7rack>  phrase to unlock HDD. Does anyone know of anything that might be making this happen, by chance?
[17:44] <TheNumb> oops
[17:44] <TheNumb> wrong channel ;f
[17:45] <ubuntu_user> TheNumb: Yes, I know. But removing the old package breaks packages that are slowing a updating. Lacks logic IMHO
[17:45] <ubuntu_user> TheNumb: slower* at updating, rather
[17:45] <TheNumb> It doesn't lack logic.
[17:45] <TheNumb> All the packages in the archive have been rebuilt to use libprotobuf9.
[17:45] <TheNumb> Nobody cares about 3rd party packages.
[17:46] <EriC^^> d3ad7rack: i think it has to do with swap encryption
[17:46] <TheNumb> ubuntu_user: I'll try rebuilding it for vivid.
[17:47] <d3ad7rack> EriC^^, gotcha, I will look into that, ty :D
[17:47] <EriC^^> np
[17:47] <ubuntu_user> TheNumb: thanks, you rock.
[17:48] <dziobak> hi
[17:48] <TheNumb> Thought internet connectivity on my vps sucks at the moment
[17:48] <TheNumb> So... sluggish
[17:48] <dziobak> I have small problem, can someone help?
[17:49] <dziobak> I have installed linux 4.2 and I am trying to install amd catalyst
[17:51] <dziobak> NOTE: If your system has logged the missing packages required for installation, install them in the order as per the log file to resolve package-dependency issues.
[17:51] <dziobak> fglrx installation requires that the system has kernel headers.  /lib/modules/4.2.0-040200-generic/build/include/linux/version.h cannot be found on this system.
[17:51] <dziobak> Install kernel headers using the command apt-get install linux-headers-4.2.0-040200-generic.
[17:51] <dm_comp> probably no need to report a bug on a project that hasn't seen an update since 2006
[17:51] <dziobak> this is log
[17:51] <dziobak> I have all these packages
[17:51] <john75894> Where can I see, How long every Distribution will be Supported?
[17:52] <dziobak> I also tried make sudo apt-get install fglrx
[17:52] <dziobak> but after install it I had problems with run dekstop
[17:52] <dziobak> and I had to purge
[17:53] <Pici> john75894: The best formatted list is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases#Table_of_versions
[17:53] <john75894> Pici: thanks :0
[17:54] <dziobak> Who can help?
[17:54] <dziobak> I want install this stupid driver
[17:54] <cfhowlett> !patience | dziobak
[17:54] <dziobak> I tried all
[17:56] <john75894> Pici: Kubuntu will be supported until 2019 too?
[17:56] <TheNumb> dziobak: won't work.
[17:56] <Pici> john75894: I'm not 100% sure on that, but I would hazard a guess of yes.
[17:56] <TheNumb> dziobak: dkms doesn't know about kernel 4.2
[17:56] <k1l_> dziobak: that sounds like the mainline kernel?
[17:56] <TheNumb> k1l_: it is.
[17:57] <dziobak> So how fix it?
[17:57] <k1l_> dziobak: make sure you got the 3 need packages: the kernel, the generic kernel and the header package
[17:57] <dziobak> I checked all
[17:57] <TheNumb> k1l_: won't work anyways.
[17:57] <john75894> Pici: and about the Kernel, it won't receive any updates? It will stay at 3.13?
[17:58] <marxS> Can somebody help me with a little customisation?
[17:59] <TheNumb> dziobak: query
[17:59] <marxS> how can I get rid of this annoying backdrop to the files on my desktop? http://i.imgur.com/DVaXxH1.png
[18:00] <marxS> They all look as if they are currently clicked on. I don't want that background to them
[18:00] <Pici> john75894: If you mean for 14.04, there is a backported package that includes 3.16, and I think thats what comes in on new installs now.
[18:00] <k1l_> marxS: i would say that is due to the theme?
[18:00] <Pici> john75894: but generally kernel version does not change.
[18:00] <marxS> k1l_: ok, I'll try change it I guess, thanks
[18:06] <john75894> Pici: Will I be able to update the kernel to 4.2? after i install Ubuntu 14.04?
[18:09] <john75894> If I download and install 'Ubuntu 14.04.3
[18:09] <john75894> If I download and install 'Ubuntu 14.04.3' will I be able to update the kernel to 4.2?
[18:11] <k1l_> john75894: not officialy. after the 15.10 is released there will be an official 4.xx (the 15.10 kernel) backports in the enablement stack. but if you want it now you need to use the !mainline kernel
[18:11] <wileee> john75894, Not and be supported is all.
[18:13] <ex00> hi, is there any software for monitoring internet bandwidth that can be added on panel? something like DU Meter on windows
[18:13] <john75894> What is the difference between kernel versions?
[18:13] <tkeith> I put a file in /etc/cron.d with the crontab format but it doesn't seem to be executing and I can't find any cron logs in /var/log. Any advice how to troubleshoot this?
[18:14] <wileee> ex00, I would look at conky, make a script or use one of the 1000's on the net.

[18:33] <ash_work> so, often I find that history is not consistant between terminals, which makes sense, but like; is there a way to get the "master" history?
[18:35] <rdz> hi all. i just migrated my system from HDD to an SSD. Now, do I need to tell/configure the system to not use rotating disk optimization or does the kernel recognize that by itself?
[18:35] <MonkeyDust> ash_work  less ~/.bash_history
[18:35] <rdz> do I need to tune the fs for optimal usage with an SSD?
[18:36] <cfhowlett> rdz, trim is now enabled by default in 14.04 +
[18:36] <ash_work> MonkeyDust: thanks
[18:37] <cfhowlett> !trim | rdz
[18:37] <T3> hey guys, is here the better place to talk about tomcat7 manager ubuntu packages?
[18:39] <TJ-> T3: possibly #ubuntu-server
[18:40] <T3> cool, thanks TJ-
[18:43] <Spottswoode> I would like to make a linux boot disk that uses gbt instead of mbr on windows. Need to install ubuntu on an old mac and it will take considerably more time to install it on that system than to make the disk on windows and boot it from the alt launcher.
[18:47] <TJ-> rdz: If you're using SSD with TRIM, and installing a system with Full disk Encryption, using LUKS + LVM, there is a bug whereby the encrypted device containing the VG that contains the rootfs doesn't enabled discard support.
[18:49] <Kurolox> Hello, Is there any way to create a shortcut for the terminal? Like every time that I want to put /media/HDD/ in the console I can just put media (just an exaple of what I want)
[18:50] <teward> Kurolox: `ln -s /path/to/actual/folder /path/for/symlink`
[18:50] <teward> but it will break every time you remove the drive, etc.
[18:50] <teward> Kurolox: so I would advise against that
[18:50] <bekks> or create an alias.
[18:50] <teward> that too
[18:50] <teward> Kurolox: you may want to be more specific with use case though
[18:51] <Kurolox> I think the alias is what I want, I knew that something like that existed but I didn't know the name
[18:51] <Kurolox> Well, I want to run wine-staging more easily, so I wanted to replace the /opt/wine-staging/bin/wine for wine-staging every time what I want to launch something with it
[18:52] <mariano_> is suspend computer the same as sleep function in windows?
[18:52] <Spottswoode> Not exactly, but close.
[18:53] <MonkeyDust> mariano_  suspend = to RAM ... hibernate = to disk
[18:53] <mariano_> I don't see a sleep option in xubuntu, so suspend is probably what I should be doing then when I close the lid? I normally use sleep in windows.
[18:53] <mariano_> What is recommended?
[18:54] <Kurolox> bekks I made an alias and worked like a charm, thanks for the suggestion
[18:54] <Spottswoode> Suspend is what you want, most likely.
[18:55] <mariano_> Thank you Spottswoodle.
[18:55] <Spottswoode> Anyway, in fewer words and considerably less confusing terminology, I need to make a mac ubuntu installer on windows. I can't find a program that does that.
[18:56] <Spottswoode> I do have a linux machine which I can use.
[18:57] <en1gma> is there a newer ubuntu 15.10? last one i have i think is willy which was an alpha
[18:57] <Plone> vmware backup software complaining my ubuntu server does not support diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 for keyexchange
[18:58] <Plone> that something I can install
[18:58] <Plone> ?
[18:58] <d3ad7rack> if your mac uses EFI/UEFI you can use Rufus to write an ISO/DD/and DMG file I believe to USB to boot to
[18:58] <xangua> !15.10 | en1gma
[18:59] <en1gma> thanks
[19:00] <Spottswoode> Thanks, I'll try that.
[19:00] <Plone> OpenSSH_6.7p1 Ubuntu-5ubuntu1.3, OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014
[19:00] <lmat> I just installed ubuntu, but upon boot, I get an error about reading outside hd0. I think the problem is that
[19:00] <lmat> when I booted the system into the USB, the hard drive was sdg
[19:01] <lmat> When I boot it up fresh, I think it's sda. So, the grub menu items are for (hd6... rather than (hd0.
[19:01] <lmat> How can I fix this?
[19:02] <phunyguy> lmat: the installer will use UUID instead of /dev/hd* for install
[19:02] <phunyguy> so that is a non-issue.
[19:03] <lmat> phunyguy: In /boot/grub/grub.cfg, it references hd6 quite a bit.
[19:03] <TJ-> lmat: There is an option to tell GRUB to use UUIDs
[19:03] <lmat> Once linux is up and going, I think fstab is going to be fine.
[19:04] <lmat> TJ-: oh, okay, I'll take a look at grub-install?
[19:04] <TJ-> lmat: In "/etc/default/grub" ensure this is *not* enabled: "GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true"
[19:04] <phunyguy> huh... I have never seen that option, and I even see UUIDs in grub.
[19:04] <TJ-> lmat: usually that setting is commented out
[19:04] <phunyguy> good to know though
[19:05] <lmat> it's commented.
[19:05] <TJ-> lmat: Did Ubuntu generate the /boot/grub/grub.cfg, or some other distro ?
[19:05] <lmat> I'm thinking I should edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg and change 6->0 where it looks right?
[19:05] <lmat> TJ-: ubuntu.
[19:05] <phunyguy> is it an encrypted install?
[19:06] <lmat> TJ-: I'm seeing, for instance, in /boot/grub/grub.cfg: "set root='hd6,msdos1'"
[19:06] <lmat> phunyguy: nope
[19:06] <TJ-> lmat: which Ubuntu release - that is very unusual
[19:06] <phunyguy> hmmm
[19:06] <lmat> TJ-: 15 something
[19:06] <lmat> 15.04
[19:08] <phunyguy> huh I just verified on a 14.04 laptop I have here.  there is indeed that set root line, and it points to hd0
[19:08] <lmat> grub-mkconfig can generate /boot/grub/grub.cfg from /etc/default/grub, right?
[19:08] <phunyguy> lmat: yes
[19:08] <phunyguy> but update-grub should do the same thing
[19:08] <phunyguy> might be a better option
[19:08] <TJ-> lmat: On 14.04 and 15.10 here, all grub.cfg references use UUIDs
[19:08] <d3ad7rack> 15.10's not out yet
[19:09] <phunyguy> lmat: is it a UEFI install?
[19:09] <lmat> TJ-: Do you have "set root=..." ?
[19:09] <lmat> phunyguy: I don't know...probably not
[19:09] <phunyguy> this laptop boots UEFI, and set root='hd0,gpt2' is there
[19:09] <BluesKaj> d3ad7rack, it's in beta atm
[19:09] <phunyguy> hmm
[19:10] <phunyguy> lmat: just try update-grub, see if it just fixes it
[19:10] <phunyguy> it might,.
[19:10] <d3ad7rack> ahhh
[19:10] <xotix> hi
[19:11] <TJ-> lmat: Mine sets it via "search ..." entries; the hints provided use UUIDs
[19:11] <lmat> phunyguy: /boot/grub is no good. I'm now in a live USB ...
[19:11] <phunyguy> lmat: so chroot to it.
[19:11] <phunyguy> !chroot
[19:11] <xotix> I just wanted to install ubuntu but I though, let's do a memory check first, can't hurt. never did one for years. Now I have this blue screen with the red cross and the _ blinking but expect that, nothing happens. That's normal?
[19:11] <phunyguy> hmm that may not be ideal.
[19:11] <lmat> I know all about chroot, but it's not trivial... does ubuntu provide a tool for that?
[19:11] <lmat> (arch linux has  arch-chroot to set up a *usable* environment ;-) )
[19:12] <phunyguy> but yes chroot is the key.  You need to mount the install as it would be from fstab in the live environment, mount proc, dev, and sys, and then chroot to it.
[19:12] <bekks> A tools for running three commands?
[19:12] <lmat> phunyguy: I think grub-install is the way to do it to a drive that wasn't used for booting?
[19:12] <phunyguy> I think arch does those proc, dev, sys in that arch-chroot script.
[19:12] <phunyguy> lmat: yes you use grub-install to the device, then update-grub to set up the config.
[19:12] <TJ-> lmat: "sudo -i" then "mkdir /target; mount /dev/sdXY /target; for n in proc/ sys/ dev/ dev/pts /etc/resolv.conf; do mount --bind /$n /target/$n; done"   then "chroot /target" then "update-grub"
[19:13] <lmat> TJ-: brb
[19:13] <phunyguy> TJ-: I need to write that line down.  That's a good one.  Takes some things a step further that I never thought of.  Thank you.
[19:15] <Plone> figured it out
[19:15] <Plone> let me know if anyone interested in how to get ubuntu to serve as file repository for veeam
[19:15] <Plone> via ssh
[19:15] <ronic> Hi can i ask for my prob here?
[19:15] <Plone> sure
[19:16] <xotix> what can I do if the memory check has no progress/freezed? can I just restart?
[19:16] <ronic> Im begginer on linux, i have Ubuntu and i want to login on GRnet (greek chanels) via hexChat, how i can do it?
[19:17] <bekks> Plone: No big deal, documented well enough :)
[19:18] <lmat> on   chroot /target;, error is Bus error (core dumped)
[19:18] <xotix> ronic hexchat has a own channel maybe ask there
[19:19] <derek01> anyone have experience with NVIDIA drivers and ubuntu? cant get my drivers to load properly. They are there, and I have reinstalled a million times. Still no luck.
[19:20] <lmat> okay, now I can't make any directories, etc. "mkdir: cannot create directory 'target': Read-only file system" :-(
[19:21] <bekks> So mount your filesystem read-writeable.
[19:22] <jack> ronic: /server <address>
[19:22] <lmat> TJ-: ^ ^_^
[19:26] <lmat> TJ-: When I sudo chroot /mnt/drive; it hangs for a few seconds, then nothing. When I sudo -i; chroot /mnt/drive; I get the error: Bus error (core dumped)
[19:26] <lmat> TJ-: That's the only way to redo /boot/grub/grub.cfg ?
[19:27] <rdz> cfhowlett, TJ- many thanks
[19:28] <derek01> When I try to run the NVIDIA installer, it tells me there is a previos version installed, even after purging everything I can think of. Even dpkg shows nothig under nvidia
[19:30] <bekks> Daphko: So how are you trying to install it?
[19:30] <lmat> derek01: ^ that's you :-)
[19:30] <bekks> Thanks :)
[19:30] <BluesKaj> derek01, which nvidia installer?
[19:31] <derek01> blueskaj: using the nvidia 340.76 installer from their website.
[19:31] <derek01> imat: same as above lol
[19:32] <bekks> derek01: Why dont you use the driver shipped in the official ubuntu repos?
[19:32] <derek01> bekks: Ive tried that as well. Still doesnt take.
[19:32] <bekks> derek01: Elaborate "still doesnt take".
[19:33] <TheNumb> derek01: can you post the error log?
[19:33] <bekks> And uninstall all traces of the .run installer you are using, before.
[19:33] <ZuZuD_> Hi evrybody
[19:33] <derek01> bekks: Installs, no errors, upon starting lightdm, it still wont let me configure anything. When I try to use the nvidia settings manager, it tells me there is no xserver
[19:34] <derek01> thenumb: which error log would you like. X? Lightdm?
[19:35] <TheNumb> derek01: Xorg.0.log
[19:36] <lmat> TJ-: I rebooted into the live medium, and it does the same thing.
[19:36] <derek01> thenumb: let me install using apt-get then Ill paste it, I just uninstalled trying to use the nvidia installer. one moment.
[19:36] <lmat> TJ-: How should I go about generating my /boot/grub/grub.cfg?
[19:36] <TheNumb> lmat: run update-grub as root
[19:37] <lmat> TheNumb: That script refers to /boot. I'm in a live USB, so /boot is no good. I need /mnt/target/boot...
[19:38] <lmat> TheNumb: Also, I need it to read /mnt/target/etc/default/grub  rather than /etc/default/grub...
[19:38] <TheNumb> lmat: then chroot to /mnt/target/boot and run it?
[19:38] <root> hi
[19:38] <TheNumb> err chroot to /mnt/target
[19:38] <Guest13092> how are you?
[19:38] <lmat> TheNumb: When I sudo chroot /mnt/drive; it hangs for a few seconds, then nothing. When I sudo -i; chroot /mnt/drive; I get the error: Bus error (core dumped)
[19:38] <TheNumb> lmat: check dmesg for errors
[19:38] <OerHeks> !rootirc | Guest13092
[19:38] <TheNumb> your drive might be dying
[19:39] <derek01> thenumb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12247926
[19:39] <Guest13092> ubottu : what?
[19:39] <Guest13092> aha ok
[19:39] <TheNumb> derek01: the nvidia kernel module is missing.
[19:40] <lmat> TheNumb: Thanks for the clue! Yeah, it looks like io problems... failed command: READ FPDMA QUEUED...
[19:40] <TheNumb> lmat: run smartctl on that drive
[19:40] <derek01> thenumb: how would it go missing after an upgrade from 14.10 to 15.04, It was working before the upgrade lol
[19:40] <Guest13092> lmat: hi
[19:40] <TheNumb> extended test or something
[19:40] <derek01> thenumb: ugh
[19:40] <lmat> TheNumb: :( smartctl doesn't come on the live ubuntu medium?
[19:40] <TheNumb> derek01: it won't work without it.
[19:40] <bekks> derek01: Did you update directly to 15.04, from 14.04?
[19:40] <TheNumb> lmat: not really
[19:40] <TheNumb> lmat: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install smartmontools should be enough
[19:41] <derek01> bekks: no i went 14.04 to 14.10, then after about a week, to 15.04
[19:41] <bekks> derek01: So install the nvidia driver from the repo now.
[19:41] <Guest13092> thenumd: hi
[19:41] <derek01> bekks: I just did, still no luck.
[19:42] <i7> hey guys, does anyone know if there exists some tweak on ubuntu mate to move window title and controls on panel, like you can do on ubuntu unity? i cant find anything on the internet
[19:42] <bekks> derek01: So pastebin the entire output of the installation command.
[19:42] <acidchild> does anyone know how to rebuild a package designed for ubuntu for debian? https://launchpad.net/~monotek/+archive/ubuntu/samba-vfs-glusterfs-3.5
[19:42] <BluesKaj> derek01, did you reboot?
[19:42] <Ben64> acidchild: try #debian maybe
[19:42] <acidchild> i have.
[19:43] <Ben64> well its not on topic here
[19:43] <acidchild> how helpful :)
[19:43] <bekks> acidchild: Well, you dont have an ubuntu issue, but a debian issue.
[19:44] <derek01> be right back.
[19:45] <Hetman_> Hello anyone have url to working solution howto boot to my Windows10 after installing ubuntu 14.04 ? update-grub does not detecting partition and I cannot boot it using my BIOS boot menu (F8 -> UEFI Windows Launcher)
[19:48] <OerHeks> Hetman_, with win8 the last part should work http://itsfoss.com/install-ubuntu-1404-dual-boot-mode-windows-8-81-uefi/ > bcdedit /set "{bootmgr}" path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi
[19:48] <Hetman_> OerHeks: thx
[19:48] <Guest13092> ubottu : what?
[19:48] <Hetman_> OerHeks: opposite . I can boot to ubuntu but not to windows!
[19:49] <derek01> yea, its much worse now, stuck in 640x480
[19:49] <derek01> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12247997
[19:49] <BluesKaj> Hetman_, run sudo os-prober, then sudo update-grub ...that might work
[19:50] <Hetman_> BluesKaj: no does not already tried .
[19:50] <BluesKaj> ok
[19:50] <Hetman_> is (hd1,0) will be /dev/sdb1 in grub2?
[19:50] <OerHeks> Hetman_, oh sorry, other way around..
[19:50] <bekks> derek01: So whats the output of the command you are using to install the nvidia drivers from the repos?
[19:50] <BluesKaj> damn UEFI
[19:50] <bekks> derek01: And which command are you using?
[19:51] <derek01> bekks: sudo apt-get install nvidia-340
[19:52] <danrik> if I install ubuntu 15.10 beta now - will I be able to just use it and when final comes out just update to that?
[19:52] <bekks> derek01: Why are you sticking with 340, instead of using the latest available?
[19:52] <derek01> bekks: not sure how to paste the output of an already run command
[19:52] <Hetman_> oks added manual entry to 40_custom and updated groob we will see is it works
[19:52] <bekks> derek01: By running the command again?
[19:53] <derek01> bekks: I have outdated cards, geforce 9800GTX+
[19:53] <auronandace> !final | danrik
[19:53] <tgm4883> danrik: yes
[19:53] <danrik> I see. thanks

[19:55] <ash_work> is it bad practice to have a colon (":") in a filename?
[19:55] <bekks> derek01: Update your system as well, you have 66 updates pending.
[19:56] <bekks> ash_work: Yes.
[19:56] <ash_work> bekks: crud
[19:56] <derek01> bekks: since like 2 days ago lol, I do it often
[19:56] <ash_work> bekks: I was hoping that I could just use the %T in a mv
[19:56] <auronandace> ash_work: why not use a hyphen?
[19:56] <ash_work> auronandace: ^
[19:57] <ash_work> I guess it's not much longer to do %H-%M-%S ... but it _feels_ longer :P
[19:58] <auronandace> ash_work: you could just use quotation marks for the directory you are moving
[19:58] <ash_work> auronandace: who-da-wha?
[19:58] <auronandace> sorry, ignore that
[19:58] <ash_work> auronandace: it's like mv error.log{,.$(date +%F_%T)}
[19:59] <derek01> bekks: any other suggestions?
[19:59] <ash_work> auronandace: and this is just me wanting to roll it over... it doesn't _need_ to be rolled over, nor should this activity be automated... its more a troubleshooting thing
[19:59] <bekks> derek01: Whats the latest Xorg.0.log ?
[20:00] <ash_work> I guess I could just delete them later
[20:00] <ash_work> they're not really that useful
[20:00] <derek01> bekks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12248068
[20:01] <ash_work> bekks: can you link me to an article on why whatever characters are bad practice to use in filenames?
[20:01] <bekks> derek01: Can you pastebin "dmesg" please?
[20:02] <superherointj>  /j #node
[20:02] <derek01> bekks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12248074
[20:07] <derek01> bekks: stumped as I am? frustrating lol
[20:11] <bekks> derek01: Purge the nvidia-340 package and reinstall it please, and pastebin the entire output.
[20:11] <derek01> bekks: sudo apt-get install nvidia-340 | pastebinit ?
[20:12] <derek01> will that take the output to the pastebin?
[20:12] <bekks> derek01: Yeah.
[20:12] <derek01> bekks: do you want verbose?
[20:13] <bekks> derek01: I just want the output of that command :)
[20:13] <derek01> bekks: running now.
[20:13] <bekks> derek01: Did you purge the package before?
[20:14] <derek01> bekks: sure did
[20:14] <derek01> bekks: whish I could purge it with hellfire
[20:14] <derek01> lol

[20:15] <bekks> derek01: Read the last four lines.

[20:22] <acemi-linuxos> but i wanna use led monitör and led tv movies will slow
[20:22] <cdk_> is ther an app in the store that will allow me to run an exe application or will i have to setup virtual box?
[20:23] <acemi-linuxos> i am using linux lite os
[20:23] <acemi-linuxos> i used ubuntu-linux mint but same problem :D
[20:23] <bekks> acemi-linuxos: Well, you arent using Ubuntu.
[20:23] <derek01> bekks: I had seen that as a resolution, however I have done so. irrc...
[20:23] <derek01> iirc*
[20:23] <acemi-linuxos> no but ubuntu based linux distro
[20:23] <k1l_> acemi-linuxos: they all are not official ubuntus and handle kernels and drivers differently than the official ubuntus
[20:24] <bekks> derek01: Obviously you didnt ;)
[20:24] <acemi-linuxos> ok i understand but my problem origin is not distro
[20:24] <acemi-linuxos> about configuration
[20:25] <derek01> bekks: linux-source is already at the newest version. And which version of headers...
[20:25] <Fringe> Anyone know how to fix the issue with sound not playing for headsets plugged into alienware laptops running Ubuntu?
[20:25] <acemi-linuxos> i dont want use windows
[20:25] <derek01> bekks: generic?
[20:25] <bekks> derek01: The version of headers matching the installed kernel version.
[20:25] <Fringe> tfw forced to use Ubuntu because Linux Mint's kernal is so out of date and it doesn't support some of my hardware
[20:25] <derek01> bekks: /boot shows 3.16, only avail is 3.19
[20:26] <bekks> derek01: So update ... as I already suggested.
[20:26] <acemi-linuxos> if you wanna some outputs i can give
[20:26] <derek01> bekks: i did that already too :)
[20:26] <acemi-linuxos> anyone can help me guys?
[20:26] <OerHeks> acemi-linuxos, linux lite os is not supported here, find their support channel
[20:26] <bekks> derek01: Then you would have rebooted and would be running 3.19 already... :P
[20:27] <OerHeks> they have their own issues.
[20:27] <derek01> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12248234
[20:27] <derek01> and I just rebooted, but will again...
[20:28] <bekks> derek01: STOP.
[20:28] <bekks> derek01: Install the headers matching your running kernel first. You dont need to reboot, unless you are changing kernels.
[20:29] <derek01> bekks: so im running, 3.16.0-45
[20:29] <derek01> bekks: but there is no apt-get for that version
[20:29] <bekks> derek01: So install the headers for that version then.
[20:29] <derek01> bekks: only available are 3.19 headers.
[20:29] <derek01> bekks: thanks for all the help btw
[20:30] <bekks> derek01: Pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)-generic" please.
[20:31] <cdk_> is there an application in the store that will allow me to run an .exe without installing and setting up virtual box.
[20:31] <bekks> cdk_: Noone, basically.
[20:31] <OerHeks> cdk_, wine maybe, or freedos

[20:32] <ubuntu076> Hello I need some help applying a patch for a webkit bug. Said patch comes as a .zip that contains numerous .dep packages. It also contains a "dev" folder with more .dep packages inside ? How should I proceed with this?
[20:32] <k1l_> derek01: what ubuntu is that?
[20:32] <cdk_> ok thanx i will try those
[20:33] <bekks> derek01: So reboot and select the kernel from vivid, you are still booting into the kernel of utopic.
[20:34] <derek01> bekks: ill double check, but i think those are the only options. The 3.16 kernels. Be right back
[20:34] <k1l_> derek01: seems like its a 14.04 with the 14.04.2 kernel (3.16). or is it a 15.04?
[20:34] <bekks> k1l_: It's a 15.04 with a 14.10 kernel.
[20:34] <k1l_> derek01: stop
[20:34] <k1l_> derek01: please make sure you have "linux-generic" installed
[20:34] <derek01> O stopped
[20:35] <k1l_> that will make sure you are on the 15.04 kernel and have the matching headers installed
[20:35] <derek01> k1l_: its not installed....how does that even happen
[20:35] <derek01> lol
[20:36] <auronandace> derek01: was your upgrade to 15.04 interrupted or something?
[20:36] <derek01> autonandace: not that I know of....
[20:36] <k1l_> or there was some fiddeling with kernel meta packages and the enablement stack etc.
[20:36] <derek01> auronandace: makes me wonder what else is missing haha
[20:36] <k1l_> but just make sure that linux-generic is installed and that ships you the latest kernel and headers from now on
[20:37] <cdk_> freedos does not come up in a serach of the store
 i am running ltsp 14.04 and i am trying to run fat clients i have followed the Ubuntu wiki yet clients are still booting from thin clients instead of fat clients and i am not sure how to debug the problem
[20:37] <ltsp> I am running ltsp 14.04 and i am trying to run fat clients i have followed the Ubuntu wiki yet clients are still booting from thin clients instead of fat clients and i am not sure how to debug the problem
[20:37] <k1l_> cdk_: you cant run .exe on linux. you need some sort of layer like wine or a VM.
[20:38] <k1l_> !wine | cdk_
[20:40] <cdk_> ok im installing wine right now but the other suggestion was freedos which i cant find i will let you know if wine works for me
[20:42] <derek01> SUCCESS!!!!
[20:42] <derek01> nvidia works!
[20:42] <auronandace> !yay | derek01
[20:42] <derek01> seriously, thank you all. Its been a rough week, without having all three screens.
[20:42] <bekks> derek01: Of course it does :)
[20:44] <derek01> hmm now to figure out why my third screen is not acting right, cant right click, or drag anything over. but thats easy to figure out :)
[20:47] <derek01> and done, seriously thanks everyone who helps
[20:51] <derek01> ok new problem :) Whenever i go to drag anything from window to window, ie, from the file roller to the folder I want it to go to, file roller quits
[20:51] <derek01> sorry, archive manager **
[20:55] <derek01> seems like a nautilus issue, the minute the folder moves a single pixel it crashes
[20:56] <derek01> also cant get gnome to load properly, just loops to the greeter
[20:56] <derek01> My system loves me :)
[20:56] <derek01> gnome, and gnome classic that is, only gnome metacity and gnome compiz work atm

[21:12] <Fringe> TheNumb, why even bother mentioning solutions that never even worked? All you need to know is the problem and that link details it, no need to go over solutions that failed to work.
[21:13] <auronandace> Fringe: sometimes the "solutions" you try actually end up creating new problems
[21:13] <Fringe> OerHeks, so it is simply a matter of modifying the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file  ?

[21:29] <poorvikrampandit> bekks: I currently have 2048 MB of RAM, 1 CPU on a VMware instance. Is that not enough for postgres + nginx + Node web app + image crop service in golang?

[21:32] <VanessaE> hi.  anyone here familiar with using DVDstyler to deal with .ass/ssa subtitles? specifically on how to make it actually USE the formatting my subtitle file carries?  I've been fighting with and googling about this for 2 solid days now.
[21:32] <poorvikrampandit> Sorry!
[21:32] <VanessaE> ..or with spumux...or anything at all?
[21:33] <lrs_> I have 3.13.0-59 and want to update to -61
[21:33] <lrs_> How do I do?
[21:34] <Ben64> lrs_: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[21:35] <lrs_> Ben64 nothing happens
[21:36] <lrs_> I got x86_64
[21:36] <Ben64> lrs_: pastebin the output of "dpkg -l | grep linux-image"
[21:37] <lrs_> Ben64, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12248727/
[21:37] <Ben64> looks like you had it, then removed it?
[21:38] <Fringe> OerHeks, I added that line into alsa-base.conf but can't save the damned thing, how do I edit it?
[21:38] <lrs_> Not sure
[21:38] <lrs_> I also had a full boot once
[21:38] <lrs_> And had to lcean
[21:38] <lrs_> Maybe its that? I can delete all that stuff or?
[21:40] <Bashing-om> Ben64: lrs_ Observation: an improper kernel removeal makes for a messy messy clean up .
[21:41] <k1l_> lrs_: make sure "linux-generic" is installed
[21:41] <TJ-> lrs_: "sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic" ... will ensure that the latest image release is installed
[21:41] <lrs_> k1l_, I removed everything without the ending -59 and the mem stuff now
[21:41] <k1l_> lrs_: linux-generic will bring you the latest kernel and headers
[21:42] <lrs_> cool, it showed me 62 there so ill see what happens
[21:42] <chrisn_> is there any way I can check to see what is going to be updated by apt/etc when I reboot?
[21:42] <chrisn_> i'm afraid to reboot my server
[21:42] <chrisn_> :P
[21:42] <Ben64> don't be afraid
[21:42] <bekks> chrisn_: a reboot doesnt update any files.
[21:42] <sa_> Это тест
[21:42] <bekks> chrisn_: The update happens before rebooting.
[21:42] <chrisn_> like, if some packages are pending a reboot
[21:42] <chrisn_> like libs and whatnot
[21:43] <TJ-> chrisn_: The libraries are installed already. The only thing a reboot does is make sure that essential system services that cannot be simply restarted are using the latest versions
[21:43] <bekks> chrisn_: There are no packages pending at reboot.
[21:43] <Fringe> Anyone here know how to edit protected read-only files?
[21:44] <Ben64> Fringe: explain what you're trying to do
[21:44] <bekks> Fringe: Become super-user, use a read-writeable filesystem.
[21:44] <mutante> Fringe: tell vim that you mean it when saving and hit Y :)
[21:44] <lrs_> k1l_,  Bashing-om TJ- http://paste.ubuntu.com/12248779/
[21:44] <lrs_> I get this
[21:44] <lrs_> I had the same problem before when I tried a update i htink
[21:44] <Fringe> https://media.8ch.net/4chon/src/1441143429507.png
[21:44] <k1l_> lrs, no space left on device.
[21:44] <TJ-> lrs_: show us output from 'df'
[21:45] <k1l_> lrs_: remove the old "linux-images..." and "linux-header....." ackages you dont need anymore
[21:45] <lrs_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12248786/
[21:45] <VanessaE> repeating:  hi.  anyone here familiar with using DVDstyler or any other program to add soft .ssa/.a-s-s (minus the dashes) to a DVD-destined video file? specifically on how to make it actually USE the formatting my subtitle file carries?  I've been fighting with and googling about this for 2 solid days now.
[21:45] <ToobSnekBuggie> I GOT A GAL SHE LIVES CROSS-TOWN
[21:45] <TJ-> lrs_: probably the system has a separate /boot/ file-system that is out of space due to being full of older kernel/initrd files
[21:45] <ToobSnekBuggie> SHE'S THE ONE THAT REALLY GETS DOWN WHEN SHE BOOGIE
[21:45] <Fringe> https://media.8ch.net/4chon/src/1441143898469.png hopefully this will work
[21:45] <ToobSnekBuggie> SHE DO THE TUBE SNAKE BOOGIE
[21:45] <lrs_> TJ-, Yeah... What can I remove?
[21:46] <VanessaE> ooookay then..
[21:46] <TJ-> lrs_: I usually keep the last 2 kernel's installed and remove any older, unless there is a reason to keep them
[21:46] <lrs_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12248796/ < This is my boot
[21:47] <Fringe> Ben64 https://media.8ch.net/4chon/src/1441143993220.png ?
[21:47] <Fringe> bekks mutante I can't seem to overwrite this: https://media.8ch.net/4chon/src/1441143993220.png
[21:47] <TJ-> lrs_: Can you show us "ls -latr /boot/" so we can see file sizes
[21:47] <Ben64> Fringe: sudo nano /path/to/the/file
[21:47] <bekks> Fringe: Did you start gedit using gksude ?
[21:47] <bekks> *gksudo
[21:47] <cdk_> when i try to open an .exe application with wine it tells me it cant find it or that the was an error but does not tell me what specific error any suggestions on how to fix this?
[21:48] <bekks> cdk_: USe a Windows virtual machine.
[21:48] <Fringe> bekks what would the command for that be? sudo run gEdit ?
[21:48] <lrs_> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12248808/
[21:49] <ltsp> i am running ltsp 14.04 and i am trying to run fat clients i have followed the Ubuntu wiki yet clients are still booting from thin clients instead of fat clients and i am not sure how to debug the problem
[21:49] <lrs_> Do i need to expand boot or something
[21:49] <cdk_> windows virtual machine like?
[21:49] <TJ-> lrs_: you can recover about 12MB by removing the older System.map files
[21:49] <bekks> cdk_: Like "a virtual machine running windows".
[21:49] <lrs_> Right, removed
[21:50] <lrs_> What about the rest?
[21:50] <lrs_> The abi thing?
[21:50] <lrs_> And the 59 kernel? can i remove that?
[21:50] <TJ-> lrs_: lrs_ you've also got a .Trash-0/ directory there, check if there's anything in there
[21:50] <k1l_> lrs_: "df -h" please
[21:50] <lrs_> Or maybe copy it to home
[21:50] <cdk_> i dont want to go through the trouble of setting one up
[21:50] <TJ-> lrs_: No, keep .59 it's the current booting kernel I think
[21:50] <lrs_> Deleted the trash
[21:50] <bekks> cdk_: Then you have to live with wine and the generic error messages.
[21:50] <lrs_> Free space 181 mb
[21:50] <TJ-> k1l lrs_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/12248786/
[21:50] <lrs_> Should i try now
[21:51] <TJ-> lrs_: Yes
[21:51] <TJ-> lrs_: re-generate the initrd.img for .62
[21:51] <k1l_> yes, /boot is somewhat small
[21:51] <lrs_> What was the command for update again?
[21:51] <TJ-> lrs_: "sudo update-initramfs -vu"
[21:52] <cdk_> why is it telling me that there was a generic error
[21:52] <TJ-> cdk_: what is the exact command you are issuing?
[21:52] <Fringe> Ben64,  tried that just now and all it has done is displayed the file in the terminal but I still don't know how to edit it or to open it up in gEdit with the correct permissions
[21:52] <Ben64> cdk_: have you checked the appdb for the application you're trying to run
[21:52] <Ben64> Fringe: you can edit it there
[21:53] <Fringe> Ben64, how do I edit it inside of Terminal then?
[21:53] <Ben64> Fringe: you type stuff, then save and exit
[21:53] <EriC^^> ( save with ctrl+o )
[21:53] <cdk_> yes it doe not come up with it
[21:53] <lrs_> TJ-,  i did the linux generic hting
[21:54] <eeeerik> hi all , quick question, does ubuntu still contain the feature that sends your searches to amazon?
[21:54] <Fringe> Ben64, is this where I should be right now? https://media.8ch.net/4chon/src/1441144391342.png
[21:54] <lrs_> Should i do that?
[21:54] <lrs_> I am at y/n
[21:54] <TJ-> lrs_: Good; that'll make sure the latest kernel is installed.
[21:54] <Ben64> Fringe: yeah that looks good
[21:54] <cdk_> and i am right clicking on the exe app and clickking run with wine
[21:54] <EriC^^> eeeerik: yeah, you can turn it off
[21:54] <eeeerik> ok n/m then :)
[21:54] <k1l_> eeeerik: the backgroundservers got shut down
[21:55] <lrs_> TJ-, Do i need to reboot after this?
[21:55] <Fringe> Ben64 I added the text in but I don't know how to save it now via terminal.
[21:55] <lrs_> I think it worked
[21:55] <lrs_> But uname -r gives me old kernel
[21:55] <EriC^^> Fringe: ctrl+o, then ctrl+x to exit
[21:55] <EriC^^> ( you have to press enter after ctrl+o
[21:56] <TJ-> lrs_: Yes, reboot is required to use a newer kernel
[21:56] <TJ-> lrs_: just to be sure do "sudo update-grub" too
[21:56] <lrs_> Now?
[21:56] <lrs_> Ok done
[21:57] <cdk_> any suggestions?
[21:59] <lrs_> omg awesome it worked
[21:59] <lrs_> And my steam now works. Woho
[21:59] <OerHeks> cdk_, join #winehq for application help. also look at playonlinux
[22:00] <cdk_> i tried winehq and got nohelp will try the other
[22:01] <maxflax> Interesting problem here with my ubuntu install, When I select shutdown I only get logged out instead.
[22:11] <Wyattwic> Would anyone be willing to help me out with installing psad on 12.04?  I cant seem to get it right.
[22:12] <MonkeyDust> !info psad
[22:13] <Wyattwic> Thanks MonkeyDust, my issue is that when compiling from source everything goes to hell.  I'm going to hold off though and retrace my steps before going to pastebin.
[22:14] <Wyattwic> Forgot to mention that I'm working on getting 2.4.1 installed.
[22:22] <Fringe> Welp it didn't work, still do not have audio.
[22:22] <Fringe> Anyone here have an answer to this problem? https://askubuntu.com/questions/650964/audiojack-headphones-not-working-ubuntu-14-04-dell-alienware-m17x-r4/668255#668255

[22:32] <reisio> sup flag
[22:40] <Kamuela> Anyone give help with i3wm?
[22:41] <mikeasaurus> I just created a samba server on ubuntu, im trying to download fedora via torrent to the shared folder, and I get an error (I'm assuming this is a permission problem). ls -lh shows that I have (drwxr-x---), which I thought w and r meant read write
[22:45] <everydaylinuxuse> what was the error?
[22:47] <reisio> Kamuela: /msg alis list *i3*
[22:48] <mikeasaurus> permission denied
[22:48] <mikeasaurus> all deluge says is 'error'
[22:49] <mikeasaurus> Now when I go into the directory, all of the folders have a lock and x icon. when I try and enter it says permission denied
[22:49] <everydaylinuxuse> what user did you use to create the share?
[22:50] <mikeasaurus> terminal
[22:50] <mikeasaurus> mkdir shared
[22:50] <mikeasaurus> Then I setup samba, it was working, I was able to get access and download files I had placed there
[22:51] <mikeasaurus> But then I installed deluge and tried downloading to the shared/linux and the whole shared dir is blocked
[22:52] <mikeasaurus> and now it looks like the group assigned is hte name of my wife
[22:54] <mikeasaurus> ok, figured it out. somehow the permission of the directory got changed to my wife. I just added myself to her group
[22:56] <mutante> she stole my stuff, so i added myself to her room
[22:57] <lousyhacker> Sup sup
[22:57] <lousyhacker> I gotta poop
[23:01] <TJ-> Anyone familiar with systemd's handling of hot-plug storage, and why it adds it to the boot-time config, resulting in very long waits if the storage isn't connected?
[23:03] <kadiro> when connecting to irc I see always:  Looking up your hostname... Checking Ident Couldn't look up your hostname No Ident response,
[23:03] <kadiro> How to solve this hostname ?
[23:04] <TJ-> kadiro: 'ident' was a service often used on multi-user Unix systems. It's not required, and not generally installed/used by Linux
[23:05] <kadiro> TJ-: thank you, so hostname is not important?
[23:05] <TJ-> kadiro: If you're a typical Internet user behind a PNAT router/firewall, you'll have to enable port-forwarding as well as installing the identd service on the PC
[23:05] <kadiro> oh I'm a noob on those things
[23:06] <TJ-> kadiro: The Hostname issue is when the IRC server doesam a reverse-DNS lookup of your connecting IP, to get the associated hostname. Not all ISPs configure that correctly.
[23:06] <kadiro> I have internet just in about 3 years before i have a local pc
[23:07] <kadiro> ok i understand now thk's again
[23:07] <TJ-> kadiro: If you do "/whois kadiro" on IRC you'll see your host is only identified by its IPv4 address. Do the whois on my nickname and you'll see a hostname
[23:09] <kadiro> cool i see something not clear like leguin.freenode.net :Umeå, SE, EU
[23:09] <TJ-> kadiro: this line "[kadiro] (~kadiro@197.119.143.195): realname"
[23:09] <kadiro> yes
[23:09] <kadiro> oh that show my ip
[23:09] <TJ-> kadiro: the ~ in front of the username indicates no IDENT confirmation was found
[23:10] <TJ-> kadiro: Yes... if the reverse-DNS of that IP address returned a hostname, you'd see the hostname after the @
[23:11] <kadiro> how can i get a confirmation?
[23:12] <kadiro> sorry if i ask a lot i'm noob
[23:13] <TJ-> kadiro: confirmation of what?
[23:13] <kadiro> IDENT confirmation
[23:14] <TJ-> kadiro: As I said earlier, you'd need to run an identd service and probably configure port-forwarding in your gateway/router/firewall
[23:15] <kadiro> thank you TJ-
[23:19] <shingshang> so if apt-get install failed with : tzdata-java : Depends: tzdata (= 2014b-1) but 2015a-0ubuntu0.14.04 is to be installed, does it mean I have the 2015a version installed?
[23:19] <shingshang> which is newer than 2014b-1?
[23:20] <MonkeyDust> shingshang  use    apt-cache policy [package]    to know the installed version
[23:20] <k1l_> shingshang: can you show a "sudo apt-cache policy tzdata-java" in a pastebin?
[23:21] <shingshang> http://pastebin.com/n1jeeFCT
[23:22] <shingshang> I guess I'll have to "downgrade" to 2014b-1 huh?
[23:22] <cdk_> how do i find how much memory my graphics board has?
[23:22] <k1l_> shingshang: did you run a "sudo apt-get update" before?
[23:22] <shingshang> just did
[23:22] <k1l_> shingshang: then run a "sudo apt-get upgrade"
[23:22] <TJ-> cdk_: what is the manufacturer of the GPU?
[23:23] <shingshang> ugh, it wants to upgrade nvidia drivers..
[23:23] <shingshang> last time it did my ubuntu box just refused to do anything after a restart :(
[23:25] <kadiro> TJ-: I find this video on forwarding a port ( the router have different from my huwai ) but still i can't understand application under NAT
[23:26] <kadiro> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfCEtzqlyVM
[23:27] <TJ-> kadiro: There is no real benefit to adding IDENT support. If you have a registered nickname on Freenode that is sufficient
[23:27] <cdk_> TJ- its amd
[23:27] <kadiro> cool but i have no nickname i think
[23:28] <TJ-> cdk_: there may be some info in the log at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" but it depends on the driver as to what it reports. There is no generalised way to find out for any GPU
[23:28] <shingshang> looks like downgrading that package using "force version" in synaptic fixed everything
[23:29] <k1l_> shingshang: not upgrading your system can be very dangerous
[23:30] <shingshang> kil_ yeah, but twice I did apt-upgrade on 14.04 and next restart I just get black screens
[23:30] <shingshang> this is my third 14.04 reinstall
[23:32] <k1l_> shingshang: yeah, you will need to work that out. you can look at ubuntu.com/usn and see the amount of heavy security issues that get patched every day and are shipped to the users as updates for packages.
[23:32] <cdk_> so if an installation is asking me how much and it gives me the option of selecting one of the following which should i pick? 64,  128.  256.  320,  384,  512,  640,  768,  896,  1024,  1536,  1792,   2048,  3072,  4096
[23:32] <k1l_> apt-get update only gets the new list from the servers. it doesnt update any packages.
[23:32] <shingshang> are the security issues that bad?
[23:32] <shingshang> should I move away from ubuntu if I wanta secure OS? :(
[23:33] <kadiro> no
[23:33] <k1l_> shingshang: that issues are not ubuntu issues. they are global issues and that site showes how ubuntu  fixed them and shipped the updates
[23:33] <k1l_> shingshang: but since you dont install the updates you still have that security issues
[23:34] <kadiro> shingshang: If you booting from recovery you have a desktop?
[23:34] <Bashing-om> kadiro: Registering your nick_name helps im any ways . Have you ? see: /msg nickserv help register from your IRC status window .
[23:35] <shingshang> kadiro, I don't understand what you mean
[23:35] <kadiro> thank you Bashing-om
[23:35] <kadiro> I will test it right now
[23:36] <RevertToType> so i am running a machine that basically starts off with an xinit (webbrowser) kind of thing so no wm/de but x running... i was wondering how do i make sure that the app that is run is an active window (i currently have to click into it to type or do anything
[23:36] <kadiro> that say from freenode: Vous n'avez encore rejoint aucun canal. Essayez /join #<canal>
[23:36] <kadiro> that means: you have not access any channel, try /join #channel
[23:37] <mutante> RevertToType: from startx manpage " fundraising the way we do would be in violation of finnish laws, so we dont fundraise there...so experimentally moving traffic to apps is risk free from that perspective."
[23:37] <kadiro> shingshang: when you booting you have a grub menu have: ubuntu, recovery ..etc, try recovery
[23:37] <mutante> eh, wrong
[23:38] <cdk_> TJ- : which one should i pick
[23:38] <mutante> RevertToType: this: "Most of the clients started by .xinitrc should be run in the background. The last client should run in the foreground; when it exits, the session will exit"
[23:38] <shingshang> kadiro, tried that multiple times, easier to just reinstall
[23:38] <kadiro> Bashing-om: I try it from here?
[23:38] <shingshang> also the experience of trying to fix broken ubuntu installations have been pretty depressing, so I'd like to avoid doing that again
[23:38] <TJ-> cdk_: I have no idea; You've not said what is asking the question, or what is the system. You know your system best.
[23:38] <RevertToType> perhaps i'm missing you here mutante then again i'm really really dumb
[23:39] <kadiro> wait shingshang try access in grub menu with " E " letter and delete " quiet splash " and Ctrl+X to boot and see what errors come
[23:40] <mutante> RevertToType: it says if you start a bunch of things from .xinitrc, then the last thing that is started will run in foreground and that most people would therefore make a window manager to be the last one to be started. in your case i think it just means to start it last
[23:40] <shingshang> kadiro, this was a few weeks ago and I've already reinstalled, nothing to fix now
[23:40] <Bashing-om> kadiro: I use irssi as my irc client, i do suggest that you use a 'status' window in your client . In case of a no-no that all account matters be handled in that "private' environment .
[23:41] <RevertToType> @ mutante thanks... would that mean it was an issue cause it's a while loop cause otherwise it is the last command
[23:42] <k1l_> shingshang: can you pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get upgrade"?
[23:42] <kadiro> thank you Bashing-om i opened a new channel for test
[23:42] <kadiro> shingshang: the errors shown help us to help you
[23:44] <kadiro> MSG <nick> <message>, sends a private message, message "." to send to last nick or prefix with "=" for dcc chat
[23:45] <kadiro> O_o
[23:45] <nutzz> I have a call like this in my program system("utility 2> /dev/null"). But it continues to display the output of utility to stderr. However, If  I invoke the program (the program that contains the system() call) this way: program 2>/dev/null. It doesn't display anything to stderr
[23:46] <nutzz> What is happening?
[23:46] <josePHPagoda> hello everyone.  I'm running 14.04 server and i'm needing a newer version of ssh
[23:46] <josePHPagoda> is there a way to do that without moving off of lts or compiling from scratch?
[23:46] <josePHPagoda> this is for pci compliance needs
[23:47] <kadiro> Bashing-om: i will make any passwords or freenode send it to me?
[23:47] <Bashing-om> kadiro: In my client interfacing with this server, the syntax as given is correct . ' /msg nickserv help register ' for instructions to register your chossen nick name .
[23:47] <TJ-> josePHPagoda: what is the specific PCI need? The packages are kept up to date with security fixes
[23:47] <josePHPagoda> CVE-2014-2653
[23:48] <kadiro> yes Bashing-om i have too but for password i don't understand if i make it or found it somewhere
[23:49] <k1l_> josePHPagoda: ubuntu doesnt increase the version number of programs. it patches the versions that are in the repos.
[23:49] <Bashing-om> kadiro: The system will forward the additional instructions to your email adress . Complete the registration from what that email directs .
[23:49] <josePHPagoda> the latest in ubuntu is 6.6.1p1
[23:49] <k1l_> josePHPagoda: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2014/CVE-2014-2653.html   your cve is already patched and should be shipped with the updates.
[23:49] <josePHPagoda> k1l_: what do you mean?
[23:49] <kadiro> ok thank you Bashing-om
[23:49] <TJ-> josePHPagoda: see the package Changelog; the fix was applied Fri, 28 Mar 2014
[23:50] <josePHPagoda> ah, thanks
[23:50] <Bashing-om> kadiro: Your password will be what you make it to be .. Make it a strong as you are able to use .
[23:50] <josePHPagoda> that's what I needed, I'll file a dispute and then we'll go from there
[23:50] <josePHPagoda> thanks
[23:50] <kadiro> ok thank's again Bashing-om
[23:50] <Bashing-om> kadiro: :) Open Source; all for 1 and one for all .
[23:51] <TJ-> josePHPagoda: The Ubuntu release version including that fix was openssh 1:6.6p1-1
[23:51] <kadiro> Bashing-om: ;)
[23:58] <kadiro> thank's again Bashing-om and TJ- I'm now registred
