[00:00] <klunkymutt_> nope. capslock + shift + d just beeps as well
[00:00] <klunkymutt_> copy and paste doesnt work
[00:00] <derek01> EriC^^: he said he cant copy it in either
[00:00] <derek01> EriC^^: thats where im confused.
[00:00] <EriC^^> highlight it here and press shift+insert to paste
[00:00] <klunkymutt_> woah
[00:00] <EriC^^> yeah that's odd
[00:00] <padgaland> so it sounds like the signal code of lower case d is making it ding
[00:00] <klunkymutt_> copy paste just worked
[00:01] <Johnny_Linux> you have it as a shortcut somewhere
[00:01] <Johnny_Linux> maybe you forgot
[00:01] <derek01> klunkymutt_: so what does bind -p | less bring up, is it bound to a key for something else?
[00:01] <klunkymutt_> im checking bind
[00:01] <klunkymutt_> what am i looking for?
[00:02] <Johnny_Linux> did you maybe make a shortcut in compiz ?, had a friend do that he lost his z
[00:02] <klunkymutt_> i checked bind. lowercase d is actually missing
[00:02] <derek01> klunkymutt_: I think its supposed to be "d": self-insert
[00:02] <klunkymutt_> can i add it?
[00:02] <klunkymutt_> how?
[00:03] <Walkerdine> How do you make a file with the command line
[00:03] <EriC^^> Walkerdine: touch /path/to/file
[00:04] <k1l> Walkerdine: or just open the editor like "nano filename" and put the stuff in it
[00:04] <Walkerdine> oooooo
[00:04] <EriC^^> klunkymutt_: do you have a ~/inputrc file?
[00:05] <EriC^^> or ~/.inputrc
[00:06] <shamurai> quit
[00:10] <arunpyasi> guys what does this cronjob mean ? 0-59/2 * * * * /usr/bin/script.sh
[00:11] <klunkymutt> Hey guys, sorry i keep leaving. So basically my d key stopped working in terminal, and you guys told me to do bind -p. D is missing. How can i add "d": self-insert to the file?
[00:11] <EriC^^> klunkymutt: do you have an ~/.inputrc
[00:11] <shamurai> exit
[00:12] <klunkymutt> Let me check.
[00:12] <derek01> still trying to figure out my nautilus problem, anyone got any clues? Its crashing everytime I move a file/folder, it crashes
[00:12] <derek01> If anyoen has a clue, or needs a specific error log, I can provide it

[00:13] <arunpyasi> EriC^^, OK thanks :)
[00:13] <onel0p3z> Hello! is there a way to know if a ppa is secure ?
[00:13] <EriC^^> np
[00:13] <derek01> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12258648
[00:13] <derek01> Thats my dmesg output, shows nautilus errors. But I cant find anything pertaining to them anywhere
[00:13] <k1l> derek01: .xsession-errors in home
[00:14] <onel0p3z> I've been looking around and reading posts but all they say is that only use if you know where it's coming from :/
[00:14] <derek01> k1l: solutions?
[00:14] <k1l> pastebin that file please
[00:15] <derek01> k1l: I realized that just after I said that haha sorry, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12258675
[00:15] <k1l> derek01: what ubuntu is it exactly? what desktop? are there any PPAs involved?
[00:15] <esr_> I've been using Linux for the past 5 years. I haven't stumbled upon an "unsafe" ppa (yet)
[00:16] <k1l> onel0p3z: its your decision. you actually allow that maintainer to change everything on your system.
[00:17] <k1l> derek01: any wallpaper changing scripts?
[00:17] <derek01> k1l: 15.04, Gnome (metacity), no, and no
[00:17] <onel0p3z> @k1l gotcha. this is the best i've found ...  http://askubuntu.com/questions/35629/are-ppas-safe-to-add-to-my-system-and-what-are-some-red-flags-to-watch-out-fo

[00:18] <onel0p3z> I'm actually looking for a Google Drive client. I found https://launchpad.net/~thefanclub/+archive/ubuntu/grive-tools and wanted to see if it's secure
[00:19] <k1l> derek01: same for guest account or another user on that system?
[00:19] <derek01> k1l: correct
[00:19] <k1l> derek01: changed the theme?
[00:20] <derek01> k1l: not that I know of
[00:21] <derek01> k1l: unless it changed when I attempted to install kde
[00:21] <derek01> k1l: but i had this issue before I tried to
[00:22] <k1l> derek01: ok i find some bug reports for gnome for "traps: nautilus trap int3 error:0". some say its a a teamviewer or gnome-tweak-tool issue
[00:23] <esr_> that's all I could find about Grive Tools: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=196191
[00:23] <esr_> I personally avoid doing cloud syncs
[00:23] <esr_> I have Google Drive as a Chromium App
[00:24] <onel0p3z> thank you @esr_
[00:24] <derek01> k1l: think I should reinstall gnome-tweak-tool? or is it a bug within the package
[00:24] <esr_> (opens from a separate "independent" window browser
[00:25] <k1l> derek01: some say removing that package helps
[00:25] <esr_> as it if were a separate offline app
[00:26] <esr_> I have AccuRadio, Weatherbug and Copy.com the same way
[00:26] <k1l> derek01: but dont know what the issue actual is.
[00:27] <esr_> try the PPA. If it does not work, just remove the ppa and the app
[00:27] <derek01> k1l: ill try removing the package, and report back. eating ATM
[00:27] <esr_> avoid the "nightly builds" if you want to keep things nice & tight

[00:37] <ArianPH> Ye
[00:38] <Comstock> you would need to do some research on the different ones available

[01:03] <Walkerdine> If a screen becomes inaccessible is there an easy way to get it back?
[01:04] <Walkerdine> Everytime I change my screen settings I can't keep the changes because I can't access the window anymore when it applies the changes
[01:04] <Walkerdine> So the timer runs out and it reverts
[01:04] <Walkerdine> Needless to say its really frustrating
[01:07] <Tex_Nick> Walkerdine: you mean multiple monitors ?
[01:09] <Walkerdine> It was happening when I was on one
[01:12] <tgm4883> Walkerdine: I'm assuming you can't use the keyboard to select OK?
[01:12] <Walkerdine> I suppose I could if I select the window
[01:12] <Walkerdine> But that doesn't solve the problem of bringing the windows back onto the screen so I can see them
[01:13] <Walkerdine> its happening to all my windows
[01:14] <lucas-arg> hello guys, i have a problem with my laptop, every time i suspend it when it comes back after 1 minute the system halts, any idea about this bug?
[01:14] <Tex_Nick> Walkerdine: you kinda need tp provide more details ... whar distro, what graphics driver, what settings are you trying to change

[01:19] <booh> I have a remote system with unbuntu 14.04 connected in ssh with my user.  This user had sudoers access... I never set a root passwd.  I modified the sudoers file and I made a mistake in it... so now I can't sudo anything.  How can I resolve this ?
[01:20] <angel> buenas noches
[01:20] <compdoc> booh, you could try booting a live cd and repairing the file

[01:27] <annihilator> I want to know is xubuntu uefi safe for a win 10 dual boot?
[01:30] <Bashing-om> annihilator: Define "safe" . Can you install as a dual boot the answer is yes .
[01:30] <OerHeks> annihilator, future will tell.
[01:31] <archie> yeah you can
[01:31] <annihilator> Meaning can I install ubuntu on uefi with win 10 and no screw up booting to windows as well as not screwing up secure boot setting stat arr in win 10
[01:31] <annihilator> That safe
[01:31] <annihilator> Lol
[01:31] <duckgoose> who knows. try and see
[01:31] <OerHeks> !uefi
[01:31] <duckgoose> if it fails, pop in the windows dvd and it'll fix the boot loader
[01:32] <annihilator> Easier said than duckgoose
[01:33] <mikubuntu> trying to see if i can get this *old* javelin point of sale touch screen to load lubuntu from a usb. i got the bios up and these are my choices (does any of them translate to usb?) -- http://imagebin.ca/v/2EJzRFiwkWqj
[01:33] <duckgoose> as long as you don't mess up your windows partition, fixing the MBR is easy
[01:34] <archie> it's safe too
[01:34] <annihilator> It's not a mbr formatted hdd and I don't have the cds on h
[01:34] <annihilator> Hand for my comp
[01:35] <OerHeks> no windows cd? not our problem.
[01:35] <annihilator> That I know
[01:35] <badBULL> try make an usb boot in other computer
[01:36] <OerHeks> annihilator, so read the manual, see "Creating an EFI System Partition" part, 200 mb is enough, and go for it
[01:38] <OerHeks> unless you have an 32 bit EFI ..
[01:42] <mikubuntu> trying to see if i can get this *old* javelin point of sale touch screen to load lubuntu from a usb. i got the bios up and these are my choices (does any of them translate to usb?) -- http://imagebin.ca/v/2EJzRFiwkWqj
[01:43] <OerHeks> mikubuntu, i see none, as it is IDE only, i guess it is before the usb boot age.
[01:44] <mikubuntu> OerHeks: bummerflakes. idea for workaround?
[01:45] <mikubuntu> OerHeks: oh, i guess if i could find an external cd?
[01:52] <OerHeks> hmm .. ARMD stands for ATAPI removable media device. ARMD-HDD usually refers to Zip drive while ARMD-FDD usually refer to LS-120 drive.
[02:05] <mekhami> i'm getting total system freezes when opening google chrome occasionally
[02:05] <mekhami> anyone have a clue what might be going on?
[02:09] <OerHeks> mekhami, known issue, use alt + tab to go to a clear desktop, release the keys, and use alt + tab to return again, most times works for me.
[02:09] <chinesesausage> only chrome?
[02:09] <mekhami> OerHeks: i use i3 wm, can't switch workspaces or windows at all
[02:10] <mekhami> i tried to do so in i3, but it was totally frozen
[02:10] <OerHeks> oh, i3 .. should have metion that
[02:11] <mekhami> i didn't cause i don't think it has to do with the wm, but maybe i'm wrong
[02:11] <mekhami> it just happened very suddenly

[02:32] <crutchcorn> Hey, just wondering... I know a friend who claims to have Ubuntu 14.05 and that it's an internal testing version or something or another? Is this true or am I being screwed over?
[02:32] <notaeon> screwed over
[02:33] <crutchcorn> I fucking knew it
[02:33] <crutchcorn> Sorry, language
[02:33] <OerHeks> 14.04 is ..
[02:33] <notaeon> if anything they would just call it an alpha build for the 04 or 10 releases
[02:33] <crutchcorn> But what about this: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/ubuntu-14.05
[02:33] <crutchcorn> ?
[02:33] <gambl0re> how do you open a new terminal tab
[02:34] <notaeon> gambl0re: that depends on whether it supports tabs or not
[02:34] <OerHeks> crutchcorn, that was just a status of 1 month after ...
[02:34] <crutchcorn> Thanks OerHeks
[02:34] <crutchcorn> I appreciate it guys. TTFN
[02:34] <OerHeks> current is 14.04.3
[02:35] <gambl0re> im using ubuntu

[02:52] <nexia> Hi. I kinda borked my grahpics driver here :|
[02:52] <nexia> I'm basically, according to some other folks who took a look at a log, running both nvidia binary driver and noveau at the same time
[02:53] <nexia> I have a dual graphics card setup in my laptop. And have kubuntu 15.04
[02:53] <nexia> from day 1 really, first reboot off, plasma 5 gave me a 'black screen' (cursor only)
[02:54] <nexia> I use i3 WM since then, and while it worked "okay" it wasn't really working that well as far as I noticed...like when I would return...my PC's fan would be loud and what not
[02:54] <nexia> in Windows (I have a dual boot), it works perfectly fine - intergrated graphics most of the time, nvidia/discrete only when necessary/I want to use it
[02:55] <nexia> so I tried to install a bunch of drivers, looking to the forums, looking to #kubuntu and what not
[02:55] <nexia> I think when I did sudo apt-get install nvidia-331-updates ..first reboot everything started 'flashing'
[02:56] <airstrike> hi
[02:56] <airstrike> i'm trying to create a bash function that will basically do:
[02:56] <airstrike> ssh $1 'cat "$2"' > /dev/clipboard
[02:56] <airstrike> but I can't seem to make it work. i guess the problem must be with the quotes?
[02:56] <nexia> (note: I had also changed login managers to unity's, hoping it would help)
[02:57] <nexia> tty terminal wouldn't work either, (ctrl+alt+f1-f7) so I had no way of uninstalling...I think I also had a 'lock' error trying to uninstall from root prompt in recovery mode
[02:58] <nexia> until I discovered, apparently I can boot into my system somehow with 'resume' from the recovery menu, yesterday. The first thing I did was do sudo apt-get remove nvidia-331-updates
[02:58] <nexia> that, hasn't solved anything yet :|
[02:58] <nexia> also added 'blacklist nvidia' to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[03:01] <klunkymutt_> hey
[03:01] <klunkymutt_> sorry, im finally back
[03:01] <klunkymutt_> i have been in and out all night
[03:01] <nexia> that's one side, the other side is this pastebin snippet, result of searching for glx" inside of /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[03:02] <klunkymutt_> can anyone help me out?

[03:07] <klunkymutt_> i did bind - p | less and d wasn't even listed
[03:07] <klunkymutt_> im wondering how i can add it again
[03:12] <nexia> so I switched login managers back to SDDM, and the flashing thing on login seems to have disappeared

[03:16] <jonny_bravo> Hello
[03:17] <jonny_bravo> So I'm technically not new to Ubuntu. But I decided to switch back from after using Kali Linux
[03:18] <jonny_bravo> Also I came here to see if it was possible for someone who has had expierence with Ubuntu and also a laptop using the Broadcom BCM43142 wireless card
[03:18] <somsip> !bcm | jonny_bravo
[03:19] <jonny_bravo> ubottu now is this link only specific to that card or any particular laptop for that matter?
[03:20] <somsip> jonny_bravo: did you read it?
[03:20] <jonny_bravo> I can't read that fast lol
[03:20] <somsip> jonny_bravo: it's not a race. Read it then ask questions based on what you find or don't find
[03:21] <zyxelChan> what do i need to do in order for /usr/bin/env/lessc to be identified as lessc?
[03:26] <Guest85067> Greetings, My question involves a desktop I recently built with a few internal drives running 14.04
[03:26] <jonny_bravo> ubottu how do I know what to install from that link? I mean it list's a whole bunch of different models so is it safe to say that it will work for mine?
[03:26] <Guest85067> disks show 3 of the 4 drives, however only 2 can actually be accessed from the desktop
[03:26] <jonny_bravo> ubottu
[03:29] <jonny_bravo> how do i know if im root again?
[03:30] <Mirodroid> whoami
[03:32] <nandran> i usually try rm rf to make sure i am not on illumos, but whoami works as well.
[03:33] <stringRealest> If someone can try to help with my drive issue I'll give you a digital cookie
[03:34] <jonny_bravo> Does anyone else here own or has owned a Lenovo G50-45 and had issues with their wireless card not connecting?
[03:35] <jonny_bravo> I keep trying to run these commands that I come across but I'm not sure what modprobe: "FATAL: Module wl not found" means????
[03:36] <somsip> stringRealest: if you explain what the issue is, maybe someone can help
[03:38] <stringRealest> I don't know if the mobo specs are helpful but I'm running a homebuild with 14.04. I have 4 drives installed. A ssd which has my o.s., and 3 other HDDs. In disks 3 of the 4 total drives show up. However I can only bring up information for one of them.
[03:38] <stringRealest> When I go to home, a 1tb drive shows up, but not the other 2tb and 1 tb unit basically
[03:39] <Mirodroid> stringRealest, there are many things you can do.  Inxi is useful for system information... look for it via google or on github
[03:39] <somsip> stringRealest: what method have you used to discount a hardware issue?
[03:40] <Mirodroid> stringRealest, second is to use the Gnome Disk Utility to see avalible drives, check their SMART health, and format/partition them
[03:40] <egc_> join #ubuntu
[03:40] <ndick> ada yang daqri indonesia
[03:40] <somsip> egc_: you already are
[03:40] <somsip> !id | ndick
[03:40] <egc_> yeah, didn't hit the slash ;)
[03:41] <Mirodroid> stringRealest, then you could just try using gsmartcontrol for more detailed SMART information
[03:41] <stringRealest> somsip: I swapped out sata cables as well as plugging them into different computers
[03:41] <stringRealest> Mirodroid: I checked them at bios level and the drives show up as healthy
[03:41] <somsip> stringRealest: are they detected in the bios? That's the first hardware check
[03:41] <somsip> stringRealest: laaag
[03:42] <stringRealest> somsip: yes kik
[03:42] <stringRealest> *lol
[03:42] <ndick> indonesia server is no people online
[03:43] <somsip> stringRealest: do they show in fdisk? Any difference if you plug them into different SATA ports?
[03:43] <somsip> ndick: you can speak english here and get help
[03:43] <ndick> ok
[03:43] <stringRealest> somsip: they show and I have also tried plugging into different sata ports
[03:43] <ndick> how to install kali tools on mint ?
[03:43] <somsip> !mint | ndick
[03:45] <stringRealest> somsip: thats why this issue is driving me crazy because I don't get why my home folder would only show one of the drives on the side panel yet not the other when the disks utility shows them both
[03:45] <somsip> stringRealest: are you saying they show in fdisk but not in the file manager?
[03:46] <Mirodroid> fstab
[03:46] <stringRealest> somsip: yes, I should have worded it differently, im so used to working with windows machines that I'm trying to get the language correct
[03:46] <Mirodroid> something isnt ounting for some reason it sounds
[03:46] <Mirodroid> is one of them windows partitioned?
[03:46] <Mirodroid> ie is it ntfs?
[03:46] <somsip> !fstab | stringRealest (have a read of this)
[03:47] <Mirodroid> because if yes then you need to look at adding some stuff to fstab to give the user read write capabilities when it is mounted
[03:47] <stringRealest> Mirodroid: yes one is an ntfs part
[03:47] <Mirodroid> bingo :3
[03:48] <Mirodroid> i had a similar issue on open****
[03:48] <stringRealest> That has to be it and I will read the articles over, I knew something wasnt right
[03:49] <somsip> stringRealest: trying mounting manually, and if that works, set up a fstab entry for automount
[03:49] <jonny_bravo> Does anyone know the name of that website where i can post my command line and share the link?
[03:49] <somsip> !paste | jonny_bravo
[03:49] <stringRealest> somsip: Alright I have a little learning to do and I will give that a shot
[03:49] <jonny_bravo> Nope that's not it.
[03:49] <somsip> stringRealest: good to figure as much out yourself as you can, but just ask for more direct hints
[03:50] <stringRealest> somsip: thanks
[03:50] <composerius> hello
[03:50] <composerius> I've got, I believe 1GB of swap space
[03:50] <composerius> how can I increase this?
[03:50] <somsip> !swap | composerius
[03:51] <composerius> yep, I know - thats why i originally added it :)
[03:51] <composerius> but i'm running into memory problems
[03:51] <somsip> composerius: read it. it has links for 'adding swap space'
[03:51] <composerius> so i think my 1GB is not enough
[03:51] <composerius> adding as in "increasing"?
[03:51] <composerius> or adding as in, i don't have it but I want it?
[03:51] <composerius> never mind :) "How do I add more swap?"
[03:52] <composerius> geez
[03:52] <composerius> that looks intense
[03:52] <jr__> I'm trying to add an environment variable...I edit .profile but android still does not recognize it
[03:52] <somsip> jr__: what is this to do with ubuntu?
[03:52] <jr__> somsip: I'm trying to make sure I'm doing it correctly
[03:53] <jr__> Since, you know, I'm using ubuntu...
[03:53] <jr__> otherwise I wouldn't be here
[03:53] <somsip> jr__: explain what you mean by 'android still does not recognize it' then
[03:53] <jr__> So, is .profile the correct place to add environment variables?
[03:53] <jr__> somsip: SEVERE: Error building server: Environment variable 'ANDROID_HOME' was not found!
[03:54] <jr__> what I set in .profile: export ANDROID_HOME=/home/jr/Android/Sdk
[03:54] <somsip> jr__: and have you source .profile or opened a new terminal to effect the change?
[03:55] <jr__> somsip: I restarted my computer. Does that not suffice?
[03:55] <jr__> Is the command that I need to enter, "source .profile"?
[03:56] <composerius> somsip: I've read that link - it doesn't sound right to me. it's talking about partitions and all sorts of things
[03:56] <composerius> i've already got a 1GB swapfile set up
[03:56] <composerius> I just want to make it say, 2GB
[03:56] <jr__> composerius: you should look into zram
[03:56] <jr__> it's faster, does the same thing
[03:56] <jr__> except in ram
[03:56] <composerius> i'm already hitched to the swapfile wagon now
[03:57] <somsip> composerius: if you have swap on a partition and you want more swap, you need to change the size of the partition
[03:57] <composerius> to be honest, i've actually got no memory problems 99.99% of the time
[03:57] <composerius> but I tried to run "composer update"
[03:57] <jr__> you can keep your swapfile fandom, but add the additional benefit of zram
[03:57] <composerius> and it seems to run out of memory
[03:57] <composerius> somsip I dont understand the talk about partitions
[03:57] <jr__> composerius: what's the issue?
[03:57] <composerius> I just have a file called swapfile
[03:57] <somsip> jr__: what happens when you try to echo $ANDROID_HOME
[03:57] <composerius> jr__, I run "composer update" and it says ""The following exception is caused by a lack of memory and not having swap configured""
[03:58] <jr__> somsip: it returns that directory path
[03:58] <jr__> composerius: sorry, can't help you
[03:58] <jr__> hm
[03:58] <composerius> thats ok
[03:58] <jr__> So the environment variable is set
[03:58] <composerius> thanks anyway
[03:58] <jr__> np
[03:59] <somsip> jr__: and what exactly are you running that is generating the error message?
[04:00] <somsip> composerius: read carefully through the guide or ask relevant questions
[04:00] <jr__> somsip: I'm trying to use selendrium in android-studio for advanced web scraping. They have a tool to make sure their library will work, a standalone file. When I try to run it I get an error that the environment variable is not set
[04:00] <lotuspsychje> jr__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables
[04:01] <somsip> jr__: selendrium or selendroid?
[04:01] <jr__> somsip: selendroid
[04:01] <jr__> thanks lotuspsychje
[04:02] <somsip> jr__: wow, you're difficult...there are github issues for this with selendroid. Have a read around those. Looks like an issue with selendroid rather than anything ubuntu is doing, eg: https://github.com/selendroid/selendroid/issues/470
[04:02] <jr__> somsip: everything I do is difficult...se la vi
[04:02] <jr__> thanks for the link
[04:02] <somsip> jr__: nah - you can spell the package youre using correctly. That's just not helpful. Anyway - off you go
[04:03] <jr__> somsip: would you believe me that in the very app I am making, when I save a file to the storage directory in android, there exists a bug within android that prohibits the file from being visible after the device has been mounted?
[04:03] <jr__> And is not visible until the device is restarted...
[04:03] <jonny_bravo> I have this window pop up in place of my terminal it says package configuration....ttf-mscorefonts-installer     TrueType core fonts for the Web EULA │ │ END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR MICROSOFT │ SOFTWARE
[04:04] <lotuspsychje> jonny_bravo: agree
[04:04] <xangua> jonny_bravo: hit your Tab key
[04:04] <jonny_bravo> OMG Xangua thank you so much

[04:07] <jonny_bravo> modprobe: FATAL: Module wl not found. WHAT DOES THIS S!$% MEAN!!!! it's the last step to try to get my wifi to work and it won't let me?
[04:08] <jr__> jonny_bravo: have you tried turning it off and then on again?
[04:08] <jonny_bravo> jr__would doing that cause me to lose all of my progress?
[04:09] <lotuspsychje> jonny_bravo: wifi chipset and ubuntu version please?
[04:09] <jr__> jonny_bravo: it was a joke.
[04:09] <jonny_bravo> Not funny
[04:09] <somsip> jonny_bravo: though it's considered bad form to refer you to google, if you search for 'ubuntu broadcom wl module not found' you will find lots of explanations and many issues marked as solved. You might find something helpful in there
[04:09] <jr__> jonny_bravo: it just went over your head
[04:09] <abb0> hi can i ask a ? about ubuntu mate?
[04:09] <somsip> !behelpful | jr__
[04:09] <lotuspsychje> abb0: you can try #ubuntu-mate also mate :p
[04:10] <abb0> some of the new additions in 15.04 can they be acchieved on 14.04.2 lts by just upgrading once the os is installed
[04:10] <abb0> ahhh yeah i wasnt sure if there was another chan specifically for it ;) thanks for the heds up
[04:11] <lucas-arg> i cant suspend my laptop!! im on ubuntu 14.04 when i try to suspend after resume my laptop halts
[04:11] <lucas-arg> help!
[04:12] <abb0> well i asked in ubuntu-mate but its pretty dead in there atm
[04:12] <jonny_bravo> lotuspsychje Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4365] (rev 01) and I'm running Ubuntu 14.04
[04:12] <somsip> lotuspsychje: and he's already had !bcm
[04:12] <lotuspsychje> somsip: ok tnx :p
[04:13] <abb0> if anyone knows lmk ;( much appreciated
[04:13] <lotuspsychje> jonny_bravo: did you check additional driver list?
[04:14] <tnkhanh> does pressing the Power button to shut down causes problems in Linux like in Windows?
[04:14] <jonny_bravo> https://wiki.debian.org/wl this is where I'm at and I followed all the steps except that steps 3 and 4 don't seem to work for me.
[04:14] <cfhowlett> tnkhanh, hard reset should be your last resort
[04:14] <abb0> lotuspsychje: i guess you didnt know eh lol
[04:15] <lotuspsychje> abb0: not sure what your trying to do, can you give us details
[04:15] <lotuspsychje> jonny_bravo: thats for debian...
[04:16] <lotuspsychje> jonny_bravo: did you read the broadcom trigger from somsip ?
[04:17] <jonny_bravo> lotuspsychje no... where was that again?
[04:17] <somsip> !bcm | jonny_bravo (remember?)
[04:18] <jonny_bravo> man why is this so difficult i mean don't all of linux distros run the same commands? This sucks!
[04:19] <lotuspsychje> jonny_bravo: did you install ubuntu with internet enabled + updates during setup?
[04:19] <jonny_bravo> yes
[04:19] <cfhowlett> jonny_bravo, you'll get better results and more help if you reduce the rant level.  and no, not all linux are the same
[04:19] <abb0> lotuspsychje: i was just wondering if the new stuff released in 15.04 like tilda pull down terminal and few mate tweak addons ...etc can i get them on the lts release of ubuntumate if i update software once i install
[04:20] <lotuspsychje> jonny_bravo: did you check your additional driver list for broadcom drivers showup?
[04:20] <abb0> or are there certain things that are speicific to 15.04 that cant be done on 14.04
[04:20] <abb0> thats all i guess i was wondering
[04:20] <lotuspsychje> !info tilda | abb0 install
[04:20] <jonny_bravo> lotuspsychje could you tell me how to check for that.
[04:20] <lotuspsychje> jonny_bravo: goto your additional drivers icon (hardware icon)
[04:21] <abb0> sigh. im going to guess that your saying the stuff can be installed and so its not limited to the 15.04 version
[04:21] <abb0> thanks for the help ;p
[04:21] <lotuspsychje> abb0: you can search packages with apt-cache search packagename
[04:23] <jonny_bravo> @lotuspsychje I don't show that icon anywhere
[04:24] <lotuspsychje> jonny_bravo: looks like this: http://i.stack.imgur.com/kkJEc.png
[04:26] <kichigai> Heyo, I'm trying to install some form of Ubuntu on my MacBookPro4,1 running OS X 10.10
[04:26] <somsip> !mac | kichigai
[04:27] <kichigai> Ahh, thank you somsip, somehow that didn't come up while searching.
[04:29] <jonny_bravo> OMFG lotuspsychje you sir are the F-ing MAN! It worked I it found the other driver and all I had to do is click on it to enable it and now my wifi icon appears in the top right corner ready for my to type my routers password!
[04:29] <jonny_bravo> I can't thank you enough
[04:30] <lotuspsychje> jonny_bravo: you see linux aint so hard if you experiment :p
[04:54] <NemoV> hello
[04:56] <lotuspsychje> NemoV: welcome, what can we do for you?
[04:56] <qianwei> haha
[04:59] <NemoV> hi lotuspsychje  came in here to see what people are discussing. as my questions are more specific to Ubunutu Server.
[05:00] <cfhowlett> !server | NemoV
[05:00] <Jonno_FTW> is there any way to install rhythmbox plugins without root?
[05:00] <lotuspsychje> someone knows if there's a trigger for this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows
[05:01] <cfhowlett> lotuspsychje, never seen one but there should be
[05:01] <lotuspsychje> seems like a handy page
[05:01] <cfhowlett> except the ***n page STILL lists wubi as a viable installation option.
[05:02] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: yeah wubi keeps haunting us :p
[05:02] <cfhowlett> like a bad dracula  it keeps --- coming --- BACK!!!
[05:07] <lotuspsychje> !vista | cfhowlett found it :p
[05:07] <lotuspsychje> hmm
[05:07] <lotuspsychje> !vista
[05:07] <cfhowlett> nope
[05:07] <lotuspsychje> deleted :p
[05:08] <cfhowlett> lotuspsychje, I wonder if it should included in the "glad you made it" page
[05:09] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: the !yay trigger is when users already fixxed something after installing ubuntu succesfully right?
[05:09] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: i was more thinking for windows users, curious to step over to ubuntu
[05:09] <cfhowlett> I always considered it "yay you found us!"
[05:09] <lotuspsychje> lol
[05:12] <lotuspsychje> !equivalent | cfhowlett also interesting
[05:13] <cfhowlett> lotuspsychje, needs a bit of an update, but good start
[05:14] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: yeah most triggers need revision, but some also get updated like the nvidia-binary page
[05:18] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: check google on 'ubuntu wiki' with last months results alot of pages got updated
[05:28] <zage> Good day, everyone.
[05:28] <zage> Does anyone know of a good snippets manager for ubuntu? Preferably cross-platform.
[05:28] <cfhowlett> zage, "snippets"??
[05:29] <baizon> zage: http://speckyboy.com/2011/06/14/10-free-desktop-applications-for-managing-your-code-snippets/
[05:30] <zage> Cool, have you tried any of them?
[05:30] <baizon> zage: no :)
[05:31] <zage> Where can I find the IRC for n00bs section? I don't know how to respond with your name prefixed :P
[05:31] <cfhowlett> !tab | zage
[05:32] <zage> cfhowlett, ubottu Thanks
[05:32] <zage> cfhowlett, ubottu | Thanks
[05:32] <tnkhanh> hi ubottu

[05:47] <antojose> Hi, what would be the best way to contribute to the Ubuntu community, as a beginner web developer?
[05:48] <baizon> antojose: http://community.ubuntu.com/contribute/
[05:49] <cfhowlett> !contribute | antojose
[05:49] <antojose> baizon, ubottu, Thank You! Will check and get back.
[06:00] <ndick> i want ask how to install kali tools on ubuntu
[06:19] <roo79x> hi all I'm running ubuntu server vivid, tried to setup mpd (music player daemon) everything worked but had no sound, could someone please point me to a good tutorial for beginners? thanks
[06:19] <cfhowlett> !server | roo79x
[06:22] <roo79x> cfhowlett, ubottu thanks I know server has no gui no ubuntu server has. guess I'm in the wrong place for help sorry
[06:23] <cfhowlett> roo79x, no worries, just seemed like the other channel might have your answers.  best of luck!
[06:23] <roo79x> cfhowlett, can you suggest one by chance/
[06:24] <cfhowlett> roo79x, I don't do #ubuntu-server.  please ask that channel.
[06:24] <roo79x> thanks
[06:24] <cfhowlett> roo79x, but if you want a non-gui player, pretty sure mplayer would work
[06:34] <Secret-Fire> anyone got mac os x to work in virtualbox?
[06:35] <auronandace> Secret-Fire: that is against their licence
[06:36] <TheHackOps> Hey guys, Just a quick question. I am using GParted to format my disks
[06:37] <TheHackOps> I have a new 2tb HDD which I formatted to Ext4 how ever I cant seem to get it to hold +x permission
[06:37] <TheHackOps> So nothing executes on the disk
[06:39] <baizon> TheHackOps: are you the owner?
[06:39] <baizon> TheHackOps: how does your chown and chgrp looks like?
[06:40] <TheHackOps> baizon, The owner it root :(\
[06:40] <TheNumb> TheHackOps: did you mount it with noexec?
[06:40] <TheNumb> by change
[06:40] <TheNumb> chance*
[06:40] <TheHackOps> baizon, Happy to reformat it as its blank
[06:41] <TheHackOps> TheNumb, No I dont think so
[06:42] <TheHackOps> Alright, I am just going to format the drive again
[06:43] <auronandace> TheHackOps: if it is blank how do you know nothing executes on it?
[06:43] <TheHackOps> auronandace, I tried
[06:43] <TheHackOps> heh
[06:44] <TheHackOps> auronandace, I have royally messed up the flags on it i think
[06:45] <TheHackOps> Alright, Just formatted again to ext4
[06:46] <TheHackOps> auronandace, Is there a handy GUI utility for managing fstab
[06:47] <TheHackOps> I mean if i chown the disk next boot isn't it just going to revert back to root
[06:49] <TheHackOps> Alright I ran chown against it and it seems to have worked for this session
[06:55] <jonathan_> HELLO
[07:05] <amazoniantoad> !cookie amazoniantoad
[07:14] <orion203> anyone know about RabbitMQ cluster between different version?
[07:42] <nug700> ahoy. Trying to install ubuntu 14 on my computer. After I get the option menu with "try ubuntu, install ubuntu, etc" and select any option, a few seconds later I get a black screen with a big white box in the top left corner with some text and my computer hangs on it.
[07:42] <nug700> doesn't accept input from keyboard
[07:43] <nug700> Installing from a 32GB flash drive, and attempting to install it onto an intel SSD
[07:43] <geirha> Sounds like you have a graphics card with awful linux support
[07:43] <nug700> I can take a picture of the text if you need it
[07:43] <nug700> I have an GTX 970
[07:43] <nug700> There a work around?
[07:45] <geirha> Probably, but I stay away from Nvidia cards
[07:47] <hateball> geirha: nVidia are great under Linux
[07:47] <hateball> nug700: There are workarounds !
[07:47] <nug700> yea>
[07:47] <nug700> ?
[07:48] <sm00raven> nug700: do you have on-board intel video?
[07:48] <nug700> yes
[07:48] <dfch> Hey guys, is there any GTK music player with 'capture' internet stream function?
[07:48] <sm00raven> might be better to  use that while installing
[07:48] <dfch> like idk in winamp :)
[07:49] <nug700> so install with intel graphics, isntall drivers, then I should be able to use the graphics card?
[07:49] <dfch> or console is also ok. no QT though
[07:49] <fancyfetus> Hey guys, what are some good locations to install my applications?
[07:49] <hateball> nug700: You need to add a PPA for recent enough driver
[07:49] <hateball> nug700: https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
[07:49] <sm00raven> yeah nug700, that's why I would be doing ^
[07:50] <nug700> I don't think the newly released unity 5 linux editor would work with a PPA
[07:50] <fancyfetus> is opt a good place?
[07:50] <sm00raven> you could also try disabling the on-board video support
[07:50] <hateball> nug700: Your card will not work unless you get a new enough driver. And yes, Unity will work...
[07:50] <nug700> as it states it needs the official nvidia driver
[07:50] <hateball> nug700: It is the official driver, just packaged for convenience
[07:50] <nug700> (also as in unity I mean the game engine)
[07:50] <hateball> Read the link....
[07:51] <sm00raven> I had problems when I went to install mint - even though pci-e was the default in the bios, linux install still wanted to use the intel
[07:51] <nug700> ah
[07:51] <ubunu> mage bada ridenawa
[07:52] <nug700> mk going to try again. Thanks.
[07:54] <fancyfetus> what about user/lib? Is that better than /opt? What about my programming languages? Where do I put those?
[07:54] <fancyfetus> I'm asking for general practice, I know I could technically put them anywhere
[07:56] <peterrooney> fancyfetus: /usr/local/
[07:57] <fancyfetus> is there any reason why I should use that over opt for general applications? Especially when I only have a single user?
[07:58] <fancyfetus> so what I'm reading is:
[07:58] <fancyfetus> applications go in /usr/locall
[07:58] <fancyfetus> languages go inside /usr/local/lib
[07:59] <geirha> Use /opt if your application doesn't follow the standard layout
[07:59] <fancyfetus> geirha, what is that?
[08:00] <geirha> Put executables in $prefix/bin, libraries in $prefix/lib, documentation in $prefix/share/doc  etc
[08:00] <geirha> See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard
[08:01] <Flannel> fancyfetus: What languages are you talking about, by the way?  Chances are they're already packaged and in the repositories.
[08:01] <freakynl> Hi, can I create persistent storage if I dd the iso to usb?
[08:02] <fancyfetus> Flannel, Scala
[08:02] <Flannel> fancyfetus: scala is in the repos ('scala' is the package name)
[08:03] <fancyfetus> it seems like it uses openjdk
[08:04] <fancyfetus> I'd prefer to use oracle jdk, can I make scala from the repos use oracle jdk, Flannel
[08:04] <fancyfetus> ?
[08:05] <nug700> it isn't the graphics card
[08:05] <Flannel> fancyfetus: It depends on *a* jdk, it'll happily use whichever one (however, the package manager will need to know about your java install, which might not currently be the case)
[08:05] <nug700> completely uninstalled it. Get same error
[08:06] <Marezz> Why cant I access tty from my ubuntu 15.04 install?
[08:06] <Marezz> it just shows black screen
[08:06] <Flannel> fancyfetus: also, it's 2.9, (and I see that current Scala is 2.11) so I'm not saying you have to use the one in the repos, but your first stop when you say "I want to install $foo" should be to check to see if the repos have what you're after
[08:06] <lotuspsychje> Marezz: grafix card driver installed correctly?
[08:06] <Marezz> lotuspsychje, yes, fglrx from ubuntu hw drivers
[08:07] <lotuspsychje> Marezz: did you try to switch to other driver?
[08:07] <fancyfetus> Flannel, noted. Is there a way to see where the repo will install to?
[08:07] <Marezz> lotuspsychje, i have not
[08:08] <lotuspsychje> Marezz: check out your additional drivers section mate, switch a driver and reboot
[08:08] <Flannel> fancyfetus: Yes, um, there's a few.  The easiest (doing the least amount of work) is to look at this website: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/scala
[08:08] <nug700> This is the error I'm getting https://www.dropbox.com/s/kh3f3f386xpz9hz/20150903_010234.jpg?dl=0
[08:09] <Flannel> fancyfetus: in there is a link to view the "list of files" (but you'll also want to click on the scala-library link, and do the same.  the "scala" package isn't "all of scala" it's just the runtime (not the libraries, if I understand the descriptions correctly)
[08:09] <lotuspsychje> nug700: have you tested your hd for errors perhaps?
[08:10] <nug700> with?
[08:10] <lotuspsychje> nug700: what brand is your hd? did it work before?
[08:11] <fancyfetus> Flannel, thanks a bunch :)
[08:11] <nug700> I'm using an intel 230 GB SSD
[08:11] <lotuspsychje> nug700: have you set your bios from IDE to AHCI?
[08:11] <nug700> hm
[08:12] <nug700> Any clues to where that's usually located?
[08:13] <lotuspsychje> nug700: not sure depends on bios
[08:13] <lotuspsychje> nug700: did your ssd work before, is this your first install?
[08:13] <nug700> I can get into Try Ubuntu for ubuntu 10
[08:14] <nug700> and I have this windows 7 installation on it
[08:14] <lotuspsychje> nug700: ubuntu 10.04?
[08:15] <baizon> lotuspsychje: i think he means windows 10, because ubuntu 10 is EOL a long time ago :D
[08:15] <nug700> yea
[08:16] <lotuspsychje> !uefi | nug700
[08:16] <nug700> I use Try ubuntu 10 for simple things because I know the UI better
[08:17] <baizon> well im very confused
[08:17] <baizon> to much ubuntu 10
[08:18] <lotuspsychje> nug700: lets start from the beginning, do you want dualboot win7 with ubuntu?
[08:20] <nug700> I want to install ubuntu 14 onto my SSD over the windows 7 installation (deleting it), format the 1 TB HDD windows 7 uses as a data disk and use it for data for ubuntu, then install windows 10 on a second SSD that is not installed currently
[08:21] <lotuspsychje> nug700: ok for ubuntu install you need to disabled fastboot + secureboot in your bios
[08:21] <SPLENDID> Hi! I formatted my partition and reinstalled xubuntu. Now I realize, I forgot to back something up. Any chance to recover the files?
[08:21] <lotuspsychje> nug700: also IDE change to AHCI for ssd
[08:22] <lotuspsychje> !info testdisk | SPLENDID sudo photorec after install
[08:22] <lotuspsychje> SPLENDID: then scan your whole partition with photorec
[08:23] <SPLENDID> right, thanks lotuspsychje I'll try that
[08:23] <Marezz> how does one check if a proprietary amd driver is in use (fully, both 2d and 3d)?
[08:23] <nug700> ok
[08:23] <lotuspsychje> SPLENDID: the recovered files will name your data to file.0001 to your /home
[08:23] <nug700> will be back soon.
[08:23] <nug700> hopefully
[08:24] <lotuspsychje> Marezz: sudo lshw -C video and check behind driver=
[08:24] <lotuspsychje> Marezz: or check your additional driver list icon
[08:25] <Marezz> lotuspsychje, this is what i get https://bpaste.net/show/254498027591
[08:26] <lotuspsychje> Marezz: driver=fglrx_pci
[08:26] <lotuspsychje> Marezz: check your additional driver section, to see what other drivers you can test
[08:27] <Lope> What tool can I use to make a flash drive that can boot multiple ISO images?
[08:28] <lotuspsychje> Lope: multisystem
[08:28] <Marezz> lotuspsychje, I have OSS driver, fglrx-updates and fglrx
[08:28] <Marezz> currently using fglrx-updates
[08:28] <Lope> lotuspsychje: multisystem doesn't seem to be open source?
[08:28] <lotuspsychje> Lope: you can download it for ubuntu allright with their install script
[08:29] <lotuspsychje> Marezz: try the oss driver and reboot, test if things go better
[08:30] <lotuspsychje> Lope: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/
[08:31] <Lope> lotuspsychje: i just read through the install script. it seems to be in the universe repo.
[08:32] <lotuspsychje> !info multisystem
[08:33] <LibertyWeNeed> Does anyone know how to record Jitsi Meet - Web Conferences ?
[08:34] <lotuspsychje> LibertyWeNeed: you can use kazam screenrecorder for ubuntu, to record things
[08:34] <lotuspsychje> !info kazam | LibertyWeNeed
[08:35] <LibertyWeNeed> what about quality?
[08:35] <LibertyWeNeed> will it be degraded in a screen recording?
[08:35] <lotuspsychje> LibertyWeNeed: pretty nice quality, you can choose 2 formats if i can recall
[08:35] <LibertyWeNeed> cool
[08:36] <lotuspsychje> LibertyWeNeed: maybe you can stream your conference with vlc also and record, but vlc makes huge video files
[08:36] <Lope> here is the install script for multisystem. it seems to be pulling multisystem from the ubuntu universe repos. However I have the ubuntu universe and multiverse repos enabled, yet my apt-cache doesn't find multisystem. I don't want to run this install script. I'd prefer to use apt-get. http://codepad.org/NZx5zuMy
[08:37] <lotuspsychje> Lope: you can get the deb here also: http://sourceforge.net/projects/multibootusb/files/
[08:37] <lotuspsychje> Lope: i dont think multisystem is in official repos
[08:40] <Marezz> my driver doesnt seem to work properly, can someone with more knowledge than me please take a look at this log and see if something is wrong? https://bpaste.net/show/843c9f8e3d41
[08:43] <lotuspsychje> Marezz: can you check sudo lshw -C video to see wich driver= is active now
[08:45] <medfly> hello. a lot of people quite like Ubuntu for its user friendliness. does that extend to servers?
[08:45] <medfly> I haev to install a server at work (just for development purposes only) and I'm quitting real soon. I haven't tried being a Linux noob lately.
[08:45] <lotuspsychje> medfly: server is non-GUI so it not so user friendly as desktop right
[08:46] <lotuspsychje> !server | medfly
[08:46] <medfly> lotuspsychje: I could have a GUI - the entire thing is physically located next to our devs and can be hooked up to some monitor.
[08:46] <medfly> lotuspsychje: so maybe not the typical use case.
[08:46] <medfly> ah fuck it, Ubuntu it is.
[08:46] <lotuspsychje> medfly: ubuntu server is a nice choice tough
[08:46] <Marezz> lotuspsychje, configuration: driver=fglrx_pci latency=0
[08:47] <lotuspsychje> Marezz: thats same as before? try another one switch in your additional drivers and reboot plz
[08:47] <lotuspsychje> medfly: check the #ubuntu-server channel for specific questions about it
[08:47] <Marezz> lotuspsychje, i did switch from fglrx-updates to fglrx and its the same
[08:48] <lotuspsychje> Marezz: wich one was your third driver?
[08:48] <Marezz> 3rd is oss
[08:48] <Marezz> havent tried that yet
[08:48] <lotuspsychje> Marezz: try the oss, thats what i suggested you first time
[08:52] <somekindarobot> Hey. Is this the right place to ask about SMB?
[08:52] <lotuspsychje> !samba | somekindarobot
[08:53] <lotuspsychje> somekindarobot: there is also a large #samba channel
[08:53] <somekindarobot> ok. thanks I'll ask there
[08:57] <lotuspsychje> Marezz: your on 15.04?
[08:57] <Marezz> lotuspsychje, yes
[08:57] <lotuspsychje> Marezz: keep in mind that 14.04.3 LTS might work more stable for you
[08:58] <panayotes> thunderbird crashes (exits)  :  (thunderbird:30640): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: g_menu_item_set_detailed_action: Detailed action name 'imap://panayotes%40gmail.com@imap.mail.com/INBOX' has invalid format

[09:03] <isolated> ayy lmao
[09:03] <Lope> I'm having trouble using multibootusb. When I open the program in the first tab, it looks like I should be able to add ISO's to the list in the box on the left but I can't find a way to do that. I've tried double clicking, right clicking, dragging files in...? http://sourceforge.net/projects/multibootusb/files/7.5.0/Linux/
[09:03] <lotuspsychje> isolated: can we help you?
[09:05] <lotuspsychje> Lope: normally drag n drop the iso should work
[09:06] <lotuspsychje> Lope: do you add 1 iso at time
[09:06] <Lope> yes
[09:06] <Lope> oh, I think my ISO is root owned
[09:07] <lotuspsychje> Lope: what happens when you drag your .iso to the area?
[09:09] <nug700> so it was already set to ahci, fastboot and secureboot were already disabled, and chkdsk found nothing wrong.
[09:09] <lotuspsychje> nug700: wich ubuntu version are you trying to install?
[09:09] <nug700> ubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-amd64
[09:10] <lotuspsychje> nug700: ok good should work
[09:10] <lotuspsychje> nug700: you didnt do a wrong firmware update on your ssd or so
[09:10] <nug700> I haven't done anything with my ssd other than physically install it and load windows 7 on it
[09:11] <Lope> lotuspsychje: nothing works. I tried owning the file. tried dragging the file from caja as root. etc
[09:11] <lotuspsychje> Lope: what kind of .iso is this?
[09:11] <Lope> just a 1.3gb ISO
[09:11] <balance> does ubuntu (kubuntu 15.04) work nice with an mac book air?
[09:12] <Lope> linux mint mate 64
[09:12] <lotuspsychje> nug700: i know there's a intel option in bios sometimes that can block install
[09:12] <lotuspsychje> nug700: normally should you be able to install ubuntu fine on it
[09:13] <nug700> yea but this happens way before that
[09:13] <lotuspsychje> Lope: not sure what goes wrong mate, normally drag n drop should work and youl see a terminal installing data on it
[09:14] <lotuspsychje> nug700: maybe ask the ##hardware guys, they might know whats going on with your ssd?
[09:14] <nug700> I boot onto the flash drive and get the menu with the "try ubuntu, install ubuntu, etc", all of those options lead to the same error
[09:14] <nug700> right after I select it
[09:14] <lotuspsychje> nug700: how did you make your ubuntu usb?
[09:14] <nug700> Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.6.1 program
[09:15] <Lope> lotuspsychje: What PC are you running multibootusb on?
[09:15] <lotuspsychje> nug700: should be good, tryed other usb ports?
[09:15] <hateball> nug700: what error are you getting?
[09:15] <Lope> lotuspsychje: mint mate 64 here.
[09:15] <Marezz> lotuspsychje, i noticed that that circle icon in drivers isnt green
[09:15] <Marezz> instead i see something else
[09:15] <lotuspsychje> !mint | Lope we advise you ubuntu desktop
[09:15] <hateball> nug700: when booting/installing to your SSD that is
[09:15] <Marezz> is that how it supposed to be?
[09:15] <nug700> https://www.dropbox.com/s/kh3f3f386xpz9hz/20150903_010234.jpg?dl=0
[09:15] <lotuspsychje> Marezz: the driver thats active, should be green
[09:16] <hateball> nug700: what model is the SSD?
[09:16] <Marezz> lotuspsychje, i get this http://i.imgur.com/LnqYufc.jpg
[09:16] <hateball> nug700: a samsung 8xx ?
[09:16] <nug700> Intel 249GB
[09:16] <lotuspsychje> hateball: an intel, he disabled fastboot and secureboot and ied to ahci running win7
[09:17] <nug700> 240*
[09:17] <hateball> lotuspsychje: mhm
[09:17] <hateball> I'm thinking if it has the same issues with NCQ in the firmware as some samsungs have
[09:17] <hateball> nug700: you can try editing your grub boot and appending "libata.force=nonncq" to the end of it. without quotes
[09:18] <lotuspsychje> Marezz: try the XORG driver and the microcode firmware enable too
[09:18] <lotuspsychje> Marezz: then reboot
[09:18] <nug700> Well I never get to installing or booting off the SSD
[09:18] <hateball> nug700: No, you can edit the install-medias grub menu
[09:19] <nug700> like. I boot off the ubuntu installer on the flash drive that gives a menu with options, and every one ends up giving the error
[09:19] <lotuspsychje> nug700: also checked recent firmwares for your intel ssd?
[09:19] <nug700> how would I edit the grub on it?
[09:19] <hateball> nug700: Like I said, you can edit the grub menu on install media
[09:21] <hateball> nug700: depends if you're using uefi or bios installer. do you get to some manner of menu at all? it should have instructions on screen, like press 'e' to edit
[09:22] <hateball> nug700: like in the first image here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[09:22] <pdc2> hateball, how to install ubuntu programs on NTFS drive?
[09:22] <hateball> pdc2: Don't
[09:22] <zaggynl> so I installed ubuntu server with encryption on virtualbox
[09:22] <zaggynl> restored a snapshot
[09:23] <zaggynl> now it no longer accepts the crypt password
[09:24] <nug700> I get a menu with options "Try ubuntu, install ubuntu, mem test, test integrety of install media" right after it boots off the flash drive
[09:24] <hateball> nug700: can you press F6 perhaps? to get a little menu to pop up
[09:24] <zaggynl> after a reboot it does work
[09:24] <nug700> I'll try
[09:25] <_dreamer> Hello, I tried copying counter strike global offensive from windows to ubuntu but no luck. Before I clicked install game on ubuntu I tried to check integity of files but it said no game content.
[09:26] <lotuspsychje> _dreamer: did you install wine to execute your cs exe?
[09:26] <_dreamer> I want to run it on steam
[09:26] <_dreamer> lunux supports it
[09:26] <_dreamer> linux*
[09:26] <_dreamer> some of the game files must be the same?
[09:27] <lotuspsychje> _dreamer: you cant just drag drop from windows to ubuntu to steam
[09:27] <_dreamer> I just dont want to download it because I have mobile broadband
[09:27] <_dreamer> the internet said I can
[09:27] <lotuspsychje> _dreamer: need to download from steam or try to execute your exe with wine
[09:27] <_dreamer> did it lie to me :( XD
[09:28] <hateball> No it is possible
[09:28] <lotuspsychje> _dreamer: source url?
[09:28] <hateball> It just isnt as easy as drag and drop
[09:28] <_dreamer> http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/139021/can-i-transfer-steam-games-from-win7-to-linux
[09:29] <hateball> _dreamer: Did you start the install first? It needs to create some manifest files etc first. It's also possible you'll get more help with this in #steamlug
[09:30] <_dreamer> yes I did
[09:30] <_dreamer> and it just kept running
[09:30] <cuqa_> hello, any hint how I can make echo +4.1 > /proc/fs/nfsd/versions sticky so it survives reboots?
[09:31] <Ben64> cuqa_: impossible, /proc doesn't really exist
[09:31] <nug700> this is the menu I get: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7bhid17sp0k2o4b/2015-09-03%2002.26.00.jpg?dl=0
[09:31] <nug700> F6 does nothing
[09:31] <s0x> hey guys, I just got an ubuntu 1404 lts at work and try to change the system language. I got it set up with german locals. I tried to change it via the language settings (apply system-wide) and even manually by editing /etc/default/locale. It seems that some process resets the locals to german from time to time ... after the reboot at the latest. Is there anyone with an valuable hint how to solve that?
[09:31] <hateball> !tab | nug700 you can tab-complete peoples names so they wont miss messages
[09:32] <Marezz> lotuspsychje, i believe i found the problem with driver
[09:32] <hateball> nug700: See that states you can press <tab> to edit the boot line. you should get something that ends with "quiet splash" or so.
[09:32] <lotuspsychje> Marezz: how did you fix?
[09:32] <_dreamer> I've put my folder just where he said ~/.local/share/steam/steamapps/common
[09:32] <Marezz> i have 64bit system but this is what i get fglrx: /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so
[09:32] <Marezz> fglrx: /usr/lib32/fglrx/dri/fglrx_dri.so
[09:32] <hateball> nug700: so append "libata.force=noncq" to that, without quotes, then press enter to boot
[09:33] <Marezz> lotuspsychje, havent fixed it yet
[09:33] <nug700> eh the bot gave a message about irc usage
[09:34] <lotuspsychje> nug700: that means you can use TAB to speak to the person who helps you
[09:34] <hateball> !who | nug700
[09:34] <nug700> yea just could rememberthe username of the person
[09:35] <nug700> hateball: I'll try the command
[09:36] <lotuspsychje> Marezz: have you tryed the xorg driver and reboot?
[09:37] <gerhard> Hi, I got curious permissions and ownership on a outdated hardy box
[09:37] <gerhard> d????????? ? ?    ?    ?            ? mod_disk_cache
[09:37] <gerhard> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep  3 11:12 reload
[09:37] <gerhard> ls: cannot access /repair/var/cache/apache2/mod_disk_cache: No such file or directory
[09:37] <Desu> gerhard: fs corruption or similar
[09:38] <lotuspsychje> !eol | gerhard and upgrade fast or better clean install
[09:38] <gerhard> That was my first thought. So maybe an fsck would fix that error?
[09:38] <Desu> probably not, but you can always try
[09:39] <Marezz> where is xorg.conf located in ubuntu?
[09:39] <gerhard> Yes, that was the task I tried. Due to this error I wasn't able to update the 8.04 (from old-stable, to get it to 10.04->12.04->14.04)
[09:39] <Desu> Marezz: same place as in any other distro
[09:39] <Desu> Marezz: but it is generally prefered to use xorg.conf.d/ instead
[09:40] <Marezz> Desu, where is it exactly?
[09:40] <lotuspsychje> gerhard: i would avise a fresh install, its so old prolly system is very broke by now
[09:40] <Desu> /etc/X11/
[09:41] <Desu> gerhard: reinstall is faster, easier and gets rid of all the old cruft
[09:41] <gerhard> It's a (to me) unknown server. Therfor I prefere to upgrade it.
[09:42] <gerhard> Will confixx work on 14.04?
[09:42] <lotuspsychje> gerhard: can you still trust a server that got security flaws?
[09:42] <Desu> gerhard: multiple upgrades are way more likely to epicly fail than a clean reinstall
[09:42] <Desu> and if you worry about not being able to get it up again, just make backups
[09:43] <lotuspsychje> gerhard: check how many security flaws: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/hardy/
[09:44] <gerhard> Desu, I guess I'll manage those sporadic upgrade fails. And the owner wishes to keep his outdated confixx installation. Even it's not recommended... :P
[09:44] <nug700> The Libata command failed with same error
[09:44] <lotuspsychje> nug700: check the intel ssd website and see if there are firmware upgrades for your ssd
[09:44] <Desu> gerhard: give the owner a good beating with a http://arch.har-ikkje.net/gfx/cluebat.jpg
[09:45] <lotuspsychje> Desu: lol
[09:45] <gerhard> Lol, good idea ;)
[09:45] <Desu> confixx is one of the worst things ever created
[09:45] <balance> Can someone recommend me a nice groupware client software? With email, calendar, contacts, notes, todo list?
[09:45] <Desu> even when it was brand new
[09:45] <Desu> balance: kolab
[09:45] <Desu> balance: can run it self-hosted or as a service
[09:46] <Desu> balance: otherwise: evolution, but it is not very good
[09:46] <Desu> works against exchange and the like though
[09:46] <Desu> (for some defenition of works)
[09:46] <ubuntu292> Hey, I'm on xubuntu, and my computer is interpreting most left clicks are right clicks :|
[09:46] <ubuntu292> =\
[09:46] <ubuntu292> as*
[09:46] <ubuntu292> Only started happening recently, and I'm on a desktop with a wired mouse.
[09:46] <Desu> ubuntu292: you can swap the buttons using xmodmap
[09:47] <Desu> ubuntu292: or an xorg.conf(.d) if you are not using libinput
[09:47] <dionysus69> I am running vmware lets say, and whatever memory I allocate to guest, systemo monitor doesn't show it as reserved or used, just continues to show only what ubuntu system uses, anyone know anything about this?
[09:47] <kitoy> hello, is there any way to install nmap without sudo access?
[09:48] <lotuspsychje> kitoy: installing things always sudo
[09:48] <kitoy> i min cud i wget it?
[09:48] <kitoy> download nmap from a browser and just tar it?
[09:48] <kitoy> dont have a sudo access :(
[09:48] <lotuspsychje> kitoy: no matter where you get it from, if you try to install= sudo
[09:49] <Desu> dionysus69: perfectly normal
[09:50] <Desu> dionysus69: it will only use it as the guest is actually filling it up
[09:50] <dionysus69> Desu: and windows guest hangs and makes ubuntu hang too, is that normal?
[09:50] <Desu> dionysus69: instead of preallocating it all
[09:50] <Desu> dionysus69: yes
[09:50] <kitoy> ok lotuspsychje
[09:50] <dionysus69> how can I fix it ? for several times now i had to hard boot computer because of this hanging Desu
[09:51] <Desu> dionysus69: contact vmware customer support
[09:51] <lotuspsychje> kitoy: get yourself a system where you have sudo rights :p
[09:51] <Desu> dionysus69: also https://sfconservancy.org/linux-compliance/vmware-lawsuit-faq.html
[09:51] <dionysus69> haha thanks :D
[09:51] <Desu> vmware does gpl violations and other nasty things, you should stop using their products
[09:52] <hateball> kitoy: you can run the binary from where you have user perms, if that is what you are asking
[09:53] <hateball> you still need root to access all functions of nmap tho
[09:55] <Desu> capabilities(7) can make the need for root access somewhat less, but have some other downsides instead
[09:59] <Aqui1a> Hello, is anybody awake and willing to give help? :P
[10:00] <lotuspsychje> !ask | Aqui1a
[10:00] <Aqui1a> May I ask to ask to ask a question, then?
[10:00] <Aqui1a> lol
[10:00] <Aqui1a> Anyway... I was on here last night with a problem. It never got fixed.
[10:01] <Aqui1a> Can I post the askubuntu thread I made, it would save some time?
[10:01] <nug700> Lotuspsychje: firmware is up to date already
[10:01] <lotuspsychje> nug700: sure you connected the sata cables allright and sata bios settings correct?
[10:02] <nug700>  Yes
[10:02] <Desu> test a different cable
[10:02] <Desu> also run smart
[10:02] <Aqui1a> May I post a link to the askubuntu thread I made? It would save some time in explaining my problem.
[10:03] <lotuspsychje> Aqui1a: sure
[10:03] <nug700> I've been running Windows 7 for months using this cable
[10:03] <geirha> though use the share button, not the long url
[10:03] <Aqui1a> http://askubuntu.com/questions/668631/strange-problem-with-starting-up-loggin-on
[10:04] <lotuspsychje> Aqui1a: doesnt mention ubuntu version? grafix card?
[10:04] <lotuspsychje> Aqui1a: details of system problem?
[10:04] <Aqui1a> Oh. It's the LTS one... 14.04 I believe
[10:04] <Aqui1a> GTX 460
[10:05] <Aqui1a> It doesn't show details
[10:05] <hateball> nug700: is there any reason you're going for 14.04 and not 15.04? You could try live-booting 15.04 to see if your errors are due to the kernel in 14.04
[10:06] <lotuspsychje> Aqui1a: have you checked your additional driver list wich driver is active?
[10:06] <Aqui1a> lotuspsychje: No. I can't get to any menus, unfortunately.
[10:07] <lotuspsychje> !nomodeset | Aqui1a maybe this can help temperory
[10:08] <Aqui1a> lotuspsychje: I tried this last night after somebody else suggested it :)
[10:08] <lotuspsychje> Aqui1a: same issue?
[10:08] <Aqui1a> lotuspsychje: Yeah, that didn't help get me past the first issue.
[10:09] <lotuspsychje> Aqui1a: how about recoverymode failsafeX ?
[10:09] <Aqui1a> lotuspsychje: I ended up doing a few other things, like reinstalling lightdm, reinstalling gnome files, purging nvidia drivers
[10:09] <nug700>  Lotuspsychj: not the ssd. Uninstalled it and got the same error.
[10:09] <Aqui1a> lotuspsychje: failsafeX recovery mode? I don't know what that is
[10:09] <lotuspsychje> !recovery | Aqui1a
[10:10] <lotuspsychje> Aqui1a: in some cases failsafeX or fix broken packages can help
[10:10] <Aqui1a> I've gotten into recovery mode before, I'll try that failsafeX now :)
[10:10] <Gh0st-> can anyone help me to set DDNs with Amazon Cloud Service?
[10:11] <lotuspsychje> nug700: its weird windows runs on it and ubuntu doesnt..
[10:11] <nug700> Well I get the error without sad connected.
[10:12] <nug700> ssd*
[10:12] <lotuspsychje> nug700: try a bios reset mate, or even battery out for 5min
[10:13] <Aqui1a> lotuspsychje: I'm encountering a problem I was also encountering last night; whenever it tries to remount my / filesystem, it just does nothing. At the bottom it displays two lines of text, and then a permanent flashing cursor.
[10:13] <nug700> Tomorrow... going to sleep 3am
[10:13] <lotuspsychje> nug700: nite nite
[10:14] <lotuspsychje> Aqui1a: recall what the text says?
[10:15] <Aqui1a> lotuspsychje: Hold on, I restart. I'll get back to that bit now.
[10:15] <Aqui1a> restarted*
[10:16] <Aqui1a> lotuspsychje: fsck from util-linux 2.20.1
[10:16] <Aqui1a> lotuspsychje: /dev/sda6: clean, 400246/2072576 files, 6216678/8286464 blocks
[10:18] <lotuspsychje> Aqui1a: sounds like cleaned up after system shutdown abnormally
[10:18] <lotuspsychje> Aqui1a: maybe press F1 during ubuntu boot time to see more errors before login
[10:18] <Aqui1a> Well, I can't shut down normally because it just hangs there :(
[10:18] <Aqui1a> Is that after I select recover mode, lotuspsychje?
[10:19] <lotuspsychje> Aqui1a: you can choose what you do first mate
[10:19] <lotuspsychje> Aqui1a: the more we know the better we can find some solution
[10:19] <Aqui1a> lotuspsychje: I mean, do I press F1 after I select the recovery mode?
[10:19] <Aqui1a> lotuspsychje: or during the GRUB screen?
[10:20] <lotuspsychje> Aqui1a: ah no, F1 is after grub, when ubuntu actually boots up
[10:20] <Aqui1a> alright
[10:20] <lotuspsychje> Aqui1a: it will switch to a text booting mode
[10:20] <gcfhvjbkn> anyone familiar with cgroups?
[10:20] <gcfhvjbkn> is it enough to just modify things in /sys/fs/cgroups for these changes to be applied?
[10:21] <nug700> Love this... cmos cleared,  no disk installed, no dedicated gfx and ubuntu freezes after first menu
[10:21] <lotuspsychje> gcfhvjbkn: can this help? https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/cgroups.html
[10:22] <lotuspsychje> nug700: doublecheck if secureboot and fastboot are still disabled
[10:22] <nug700> no usb devices other than mouse/keyboard
[10:22] <gcfhvjbkn> lotuspsychje: i read that yeah and i don't need/want/like cgm
[10:22] <gcfhvjbkn> i've got libcgroup1 and cgroup-bin, by the look of it that may be enough
[10:22] <lotuspsychje> gcfhvjbkn: no experience with that sorry :p
[10:22] <gcfhvjbkn> *i've got libcgroup1 and cgroup-bin installed
[10:22] <Desu> gcfhvjbkn: also see the kernel docs on cgroups
[10:23] <gcfhvjbkn> Desu: you mean these ones http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/cgroups ? any specific part it's worth to pay attention to?
[10:26] <Desu> gcfhvjbkn: the whole thing
[10:26] <Desu> gcfhvjbkn: btw, use kernel.org instead of random sites
[10:26] <lotuspsychje> nug700: bios settings can be very crucial to whats happening
[10:26] <Desu> https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroups/
[10:26] <ikonia>  /win 7
[10:27] <nug700> Those 3 options are set correctly
[10:27] <Desu> start with the cgroups.txt and go from there
[10:28] <Desu> the index tells you which contains what
[10:28] <lotuspsychje> nug700: whats the brand of your system?
[10:28] <nug700>  Custom
[10:29] <lotuspsychje> nug700: type of motherboard?
[10:29] <nug700> z97 extreme 6
[10:29] <lotuspsychje> lemme check
[10:29] <nug700> asrock
[10:30] <lotuspsychje> nug700: check if there's any intel storage setting in bios that could block
[10:30] <roman__> is it mandatory to disable secure boot ?
[10:30] <lotuspsychje> roman__: want dualboot or single ubuntu?
[10:30] <nug700> I've looked through every setting and found nothing that would block it
[10:31] <roman__> dualboot
[10:31] <lotuspsychje> roman__: uefi?
[10:31] <mistralol> is netflix meant to work inside chrome on ubuntu?
[10:31] <roman__> yes uefi windows 8.1 pre-installed
[10:31] <lotuspsychje> !uefi | roman__ read closely :p
[10:33] <nug700> I'll try ubuntu 15 tomorrow. If that doesn't work I'll try mint
[10:33] <lotuspsychje> nug700: sata cable on port1?
[10:34] <nug700> I don't have as any drives connected
[10:34] <nug700>  Have any*
[10:34] <lotuspsychje> nug700: plugin your ssd to install ubuntu right
[10:35] <lotuspsychje> nug700: is that an msata intel ssd or regular?
[10:36] <nug700> Regular Sata 3
[10:36] <lotuspsychje> ok
[10:40] <nug700> https://www.dropbox.com/s/kh3f3f386xpz9hz/20150903_010234.jpg?dl=0
[10:40] <nug700> See again if that gives any clue
[10:41] <arunpyasi>  how to make openvpn reconnect within 30 seconds if it gets disconnected ???
[10:45] <lotuspsychje> nug700: maybe that DRDY is a faulty hardware
[10:45] <lotuspsychje> nug700: please ask this in ##hardware
[10:48] <lotuspsychje> nug700: or try this as kernel parameter: libata.dma=0
[10:51] <gcfhvjbkn> desu: ok thanks
[10:54] <Aqui1a> lotuspsychje: I finally... somewhat fixed the problem mate
[10:55] <Aqui1a> lotuspsychje: I followed the instructions in the first answer here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/475509/no-desktop-icons-after-update-to-14-04
[10:55] <lotuspsychje> !yay | Aqui1a
[10:55] <Aqui1a> lotuspsychje: and I've been able to get onto my desktop. However, I did get like 4 different program errors... I'm hoping that they won't be a continuous occurance
[10:56] <Aqui1a> lotuspsychje: Thanks, pal :D
[10:56] <Aqui1a> lotuspsychje: and thanks for your time and help
[10:56] <lotuspsychje> Aqui1a: np :p
[11:00] <Aqui1a> lotuspsychje: Goodbye, take care

[11:59] <streulma> hello, I have a pc at home with an Intel G33 card (old), but I get artefacts in screen, not with MATE.
[12:00] <mcgiwer> hello all. I have some problem with updating the repositories. Even if I had imported all keys (re-import returns "not changed"), I'm getting the NOPUBKEY error of many correctly imported keys
[12:00] <ubuntu-mate> hello
[12:05] <technocf> What is going to happen to the Ubuntu naming system when we run out of alphabet?
[12:07] <mcgiwer> @technocf: I don't think it will happen to soon since many letter, number, and chars weren't still used
[12:08] <technocf> Well... every release it is Q, now V, then W.  We're going to be at Z soon.
[12:09] <technocf> U sorry.
[12:09] <technocf> Not Q.
[12:09] <mcgiwer> @technocf: mayby they would re-consider to restart the alphabet :p
[12:10] <technocf> mcgiwer, potentially.
[12:10] <technocf> Just a thought really
[12:11] <Alina-malina> hmmm i am running few instances of firefox (profile1, profile2 etc) so  i do -no-remote -profile and specify the folder name, but what is the best way of doing this  to run that instances in secur environment? should i run it inside mounted  .iso image instead of path to disk?
[12:13] <mcgiwer> @technocf: I was thinking about creating own distrubution based on diferent Ubuntu editions, but in oposite to the existing ones, they wil have more adventages
[12:14] <technocf> mcgiwer: For example?
[12:17] <k1l> technocf: we will see :) imho it will start with A
[12:18] <mcgiwer> @technocf: very light enviroment without most standard applications installed (the user can self decide what software he/she want to use and install), wide repositories (build-in, standard, non-standard included, third-party, etc.), harden security and some more
[12:18] <technocf> mcgiwer: Sounds like it could work.
[12:19] <mcgiwer> mayby I can await that Ubuntu start to distribute it for me xD
[12:19] <k1l> mcgiwer: there are tons of unofficial "wallbuntus". imho its better to cooperate with the existing flavors or make a new official flavor where one is needed, like ubuntu mate
[12:21] <mcgiwer> I know, but the "standard" ubuntu releases (*buntu, Mate, etc.) are overloaded with software with mostly isn't used by users and unnessecary takes the system resources and disk space
[12:22] <k1l> then there is still the minimal install for users who know they dont want the standard stuff. imho you cant make that one iso matching exact the apps that this group of users wants.
[12:25] <fidel_> to be honest - i dont even understand why canonical is offering > 1 version (ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu etc). I bet some users might even get confused by that big amount of variations
[12:25] <fidel_> and think they have to reinstall to be able to switchfrom i.e. gnome to kde ;)
[12:25] <mcgiwer> @k1l: the minimal one is a command line one and most "non-advanced" users may have difficulties to handle it. Besides of that, it don't has all drivers, with may make it not working on all computers. By example: I have a internet connection only by wifi (I have a ASUS wifi card) and when I tryed to install it from the "minimal" version, I was unable to do it because the installer couldn't connect to the wifi due the leak of the requi
[12:27] <k1l> mcgiwer: but why should a "non-advanced" user know what packages he needs anyway? and think about the license and copyright issues that come with all that prop.stuff if you want to distribute worldwide.
[12:29] <mcgiwer> @k1l: if the software is publically avaliable to download and while installing the propper license is displayed (with get accepted by user) like it happens to software (like by example Oracle) then it would be same like the user would self download the istaller from the author's website and install it
[12:31] <k1l> mcgiwer: dont get trapped in the license hell. its not that easy as it might look like. there are reasons why ubuntu handles it the way it does.
[12:31] <marlinc> Why does Ubuntu (or rather Debian) have a 'yum' package?
[12:32] <mcgiwer> ubuntu has apt-get as far as I know... yum was by Gentoo or Fedora
[12:33] <k1l> marlinc: good question. maybe to handle rpm packages?
[12:33] <mcgiwer> to handle rpm is program with same name
[12:33] <k1l> yum is a frontend for handling rpm, mcgiwer
[12:33] <fidel_> ubuntu has a package pacman as well  (besides yum)
[12:33] <ioria> !info rpm
[12:34] <fidel_> !info pacman
[12:34] <fidel_> hrhr ok
[12:34] <Afdla> how to reduce mouse sensitivity below the minimum that is in mouse settings
[12:34] <marlinc> I know what yum, rpm and pacman are its just curious
[12:34] <Johnny_Linux> xset m # #
[12:34] <mcgiwer> @k1l: I used Fedora and Gentoo very long time ago, so I don't remember anything :p
[12:35] <Afdla> xset m does nothing
[12:35] <Johnny_Linux> you have to add 2 more values
[12:35] <Afdla> yea, but still
[12:35] <Afdla> tried xset m 20 20, xset m 1 1, xset m 1/3 5, etc.
[12:35] <Johnny_Linux> ty xset m 7 4
[12:35] <Afdla> ok that made it faster
[12:36] <Johnny_Linux> diddle with lower #rs
[12:36] <Afdla> how to go below 1 1 ?
[12:36] <Johnny_Linux> 01
[12:37] <Afdla> xset m 0.1 0.1 and xset m 1/10 1/10 do not slow it down more
[12:37] <Johnny_Linux> lolo, try 4 2
[12:37] <Afdla> that makes it faster
[12:37] <Afdla> why would you suggest higher numbers?
[12:37] <Afdla> I want to lower the sensitivity
[12:38] <Johnny_Linux> then go the other way
[12:38] <Afdla> but nothing happens below xset m 1 1
[12:38] <Johnny_Linux> once you set that, you can also go to mouse settings and variate it also
[12:41] <ioria> Afdla do you have a xorg.conf file ?
[12:42] <Afdla> I don't know
[12:42] <ioria> Afdla maybe your threshold is  1
[12:42] <Afdal> Hello, I'm having a problem with a package installation
[12:43] <Afdal> I tried installing this program Dropbox from the Software Center
[12:43] <Afdal> And it hanged before finishing
[12:43] <Afdal> so I rebooted
[12:43] <Afdal> tried fixing it from Synaptic
[12:44] <Afdla> you have pretty similar nick
[12:44] <Afdal> :3
[12:44] <Afdal> tried following the advice from the update center
[12:44] <Afdal> and running a "partial upgrade"
[12:44] <Afdal> every time it hangs after this "Downloading Dropbox..." step reaches 100%
[12:44] <Afdal> I can't get rid of the installation
[12:45] <Afdal> and I can't install anything else now
[12:45] <Afdal> What the heck do I do?
[12:45] <k1l> Afdal: close synaptic
[12:45] <Afdal> it's closed
[12:46] <Afdal> it won't start up properly anyway
[12:46] <k1l> Afdal: open a terminal and run "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade"
[12:46] <Afdal> it advises me to run this --configure line in the terminal
[12:46] <Afdal> which I've tried and that hangs too
[12:46] <k1l> after that put all the output into a pastebin and show the link here
[12:46] <Afdal> all right, shall I try closing Distribution Upgrade now and running that line?
[12:46] <k1l> !paste | Afdal
[12:47] <k1l> Afdal: what distribution upgrade? did you even read what is said?
[12:47] <auronandace> that should be sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[12:48] <k1l> auronandace: better use the new apt command since its not that much confusing
[12:48] <auronandace> k1l: is that an alias?
[12:48] <Afdal> is this going to upgrade my distro?
[12:48] <k1l> nope. its the new apt which replaces apt-get apt-cache etc
[12:48] <k1l> Afdal: no, it will not upgrade to 14.10 if you are on 14.04
[12:49] <auronandace> k1l: cool, when did they introduce that?
[12:49] <Afdal> okay, trying "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" then
[12:49] <k1l> auronandace: some time around 14.04 iirc
[12:49] <auronandace> k1l: awesome, thanks for the info
[12:49] <Afdal> sudo: apt: command not found
[12:49] <Afdal> {:I
[12:49] <k1l> Afdal: important is that you show us the output in a pastebin since we dont know what you see there
[12:49] <Afdal> that's the output
[12:49] <k1l> Afdal: "lsb_release -d" please
[12:50] <Afdal> 12.04.5 LTS
[12:50] <Afdal> I guess this is pretty old now <.<
[12:50] <k1l> Afdal: ok, for 12.04 you still need to use the old command "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[12:50] <Afdal> giving that a try...
[12:50] <cyborg_> hi i have a problem in 14.04 trusty install skype and dependency is ok launch skype...and not working not have a login form
[12:50] <k1l> auronandace: the apt command was made stable after some 10 years of development finally
[12:51] <Afdal> ugh
[12:51] <Afdal> this is gonna upgrade my Firefox
[12:51] <Afdal> can't wait for it to break all my add-ons again ;_;
[12:51] <auronandace> Afdal: something tells me you don't update frequently
[12:52] <Afdal> I'm not on this system all that often
[12:52] <Afdal> but I especially avoid Firefox updates, whatever the system
[12:52] <Afdal> because those jerks at Mozilla don't care about usability anymore
[12:52] <auronandace> Afdal: that is a particularly bad practice
[12:52] <k1l> Afdal: avoiding updates is the best way to get security issues
[12:52] <Afdal> every new update breaks something else
[12:52] <Guest51811> hey ;) is it possible to have a sftp chroot jail but no ssh jail?
[12:52] <Afdal> okay so I ran that command
[12:53] <Afdal> got 11 updates
[12:53] <Afdal> seemed to go smoothly
[12:53] <k1l> !paste | Afdal
[12:53] <Afdal> and then I'm back at this Dropbox package setup again now
[12:53] <k1l> Afdal: let it run. after its finished show all the output in a pastebin
[12:54] <Afdal> it's hanging again
[12:54] <Afdal> like I described before
[12:54] <k1l> wait for it
[12:54] <kristhian> hello
[12:54] <kristhian> is cpanel installabe in ubuntu?
[12:55] <k1l> !info cpanel
[12:55] <Afdal> http://pastebin.com/MzcyfEv2
[12:55] <k1l> kristhian: it is. but since its non-free you will buy that and ask them for support
[12:56] <Afdal> gah
[12:56] <Afdal> that pastebin missed the very final line
[12:56] <Afdal> Downloading Dropbox... 100%
[12:56] <Afdal> this is where it hangs
[12:56] <k1l> Afdal: how long did you wait?
[12:57] <kristhian> oh
[12:57] <Afdal> uh
[12:57] <Afdal> 5 minutes I guess now
[12:57] <Afdal> I've seen this before though
[12:57] <Afdal> think I waited on it for 30 minutes last night
[12:57] <Afdal> it sits there at the 100% downloaded indicator and just stops
[12:59] <Afdal> Isn't there some way I can just purge this package
[12:59] <Afdal> without installing it
[13:00] <Afdal> I was actually just about to upgrade to 14.04 before I tried installing this too ._.
[13:00] <nrdb2> can anyone tell me why the command .... ssh -C -w any -o Tunnel=ethernet root@back-it-up-host.home .... which should create a tap interface ... creates a tun0 interface instead?
[13:00] <_UsUrPeR_> Hello!
[13:01] <_UsUrPeR_> I just finished an update for 14.04 on a Mac, and after a reboot, it looks like grub isn't attempting to load a kernel
[13:01] <_UsUrPeR_> all I get is a blinking cursor
[13:02] <_UsUrPeR_> I am booting to a 14.04 ubuntu live CD now
[13:02] <_UsUrPeR_> any help would be appreciated
[13:02] <k1l> Afdal: did it open a new window on the desktop?
[13:02] <k1l> Afdal: else try this method: http://ubuntuguide.net/install-dropbox-in-ubuntu-12-04
[13:03] <Afdal> nope, no new window
[13:03] <Afdal> just the terminal still
[13:04] <Afdal> oh hell this was a problem with the dropbox installer?
[13:04] <Afdal> guh, I thought it was going to be something else entirely :/
[13:05] <pdc2> k1l, how do I choose to install an ubuntu application in a directory of my choice?
[13:05] <k1l> pdc2: dont know. see the apt or dpkg documentation if that is possible
[13:06] <pbx> i have chrome at position #8 in the launcher, but sometimes when i open a link a new chrome icon appears in the launcher, and super-8 opens a particular bookmark in that new one rather that activating the old one. unlocking the old one and moving the new one to its spot is the "fix". wha?

[13:08] <Rojaws> and my small brain is having issues working it out..
[13:10] <salaloha> When I execute sudo -u username env, $HOME is set to the home directory of the user I execute it as, not username's. Is there a way to keep this behaviour for root (i.e. without -u ...), but reset the env variables for other users?
[13:12] <Afdal> okay so
[13:12] <Afdal> Ubuntu Software Center apparently thinks I already have this installed now
[13:13] <Afdal> When I try to run this .deb I downloaded manually I get this error
[13:14] <Afdal> "Breaks existing package 'nautilus-dropbox' that conflict: 'nautilus-dropbox'.  But the 'home/afdal/Desktop/dropbox_2015.02.12_amd64.deb' provides it via: 'nautilus-dropbox'
[13:15] <Afdal> I tried removing the current package that's supposedly installed in the software center previously, but -that- hanged too
[13:15] <Afdal> I'll try it again now...
[13:15] <SuperLag> Should any Ubuntu package that requires a config file to work have one with the package as it installs, by default?
[13:17] <newUser23344> Afdal, Open Synaptic Package Manager and remove that specific package (nautilus-dropbox). That will eliminate the conflict.
[13:17] <Afdal> no that's the thing
[13:17] <Afdal> When I try to open Synaptic it fails to startup
[13:17] <Afdal> tells me to go put this --configure line in the terminal to finish installation first
[13:18] <Afdal> so basically I'm caught in a failed installation that I can't get rid of until it finishes
[13:19] <Afdal> all right this time Synaptic says "unable to get exclusive lock"  This usually means that another package management application is already running.  Please close that application first."
[13:19] <_UsUrPeR_> afdal: there's a locker file in /var/run
[13:19] <_UsUrPeR_> open a terminal
[13:19] <_UsUrPeR_> as long as you're certain there is no installation going on
[13:19] <Afdal> I have no idea
[13:20] <Afdal> I closed the software center
[13:20] <_UsUrPeR_> because if you delete the locker file while something is installing, you could seiously bork up your system
[13:20] <Afdal> since the uninstallation attempt was hanging
[13:20] <Afdal> oi -_-
[13:20] <_UsUrPeR_> ok, got it
[13:20] <newUser23344> apt-get -f install ?
[13:20] <Afdal> should I just reboot again
[13:20] <_UsUrPeR_> in that case, if it's hung, you are probably alright
[13:20] <_UsUrPeR_> no
[13:20] <_UsUrPeR_> if you've already rebooted once, don't worry about it
[13:20] <_UsUrPeR_> so the locker file
[13:20] <Afdal> I:}
[13:20] <_UsUrPeR_> open a terminal, and sudo bash to root
[13:21] <_UsUrPeR_> then cd /var/run
[13:21] <Afdal> what's the command for that again
[13:21] <_UsUrPeR_> oh, so you opened a terminal window, right?
[13:21] <Afdal> yup
[13:21] <_UsUrPeR_> ok
[13:21] <_UsUrPeR_> type the following:
[13:21] <_UsUrPeR_> sudo bash
[13:21] <_UsUrPeR_> it will ask you for your user password
[13:21] <Afdal> oh okay
[13:21] <Afdal> gotcha
[13:21] <_UsUrPeR_> which you should enter
[13:21] <Afdal> I'm at /var/run
[13:22] <_UsUrPeR_> ok
[13:22] <_UsUrPeR_> one moment
[13:22] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[13:22] <_UsUrPeR_> whoops, wrong directory
[13:22] <Afdal> oh u
[13:22] <_UsUrPeR_> cd /var/lib/dpkg
[13:22] <_UsUrPeR_> run the following command:
[13:22] <_UsUrPeR_> ls
[13:22] <Afdal> I'm there
[13:22] <Afdal> ls
[13:22] <_UsUrPeR_> once in that directort
[13:23] <Afdal> what am I looking for
[13:23] <_UsUrPeR_> you should see something called ""lock"
[13:23] <_UsUrPeR_> do you see that?
[13:23] <Afdal> yes
[13:23] <_UsUrPeR_> ok, delete that file
[13:23] <_UsUrPeR_> rm lock
[13:23] <Afdal> okay...  I:>
[13:23] <Afdal> done, I guess?
[13:23] <_UsUrPeR_> yep
[13:23] <Afdal> try Synaptic again now?
[13:23] <_UsUrPeR_> that's the file that needs to be removed to "unlock"
[13:23] <_UsUrPeR_> yeah, give synaptic a shot again
[13:24] <_UsUrPeR_> about uninstalling: That I may not be able to help you with :P
[13:24] <Afdal> ah okay
[13:24] <Afdal> now I'm back to the other error I've been dealing with
[13:24] <_UsUrPeR_> ok, back to my question, #ubuntu!
[13:24] <Afdal> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[13:24] <Afdal> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[13:24] <_UsUrPeR_> humm
[13:24] <Afdal> that's what I get when I try to run Synaptic
[13:24] <Afdal> I've tried that particular command in the terminal and I just get another hanging installation
[13:24] <Afdal> @_@
[13:24] <nrdb2> can anyone tell me why the command .... ssh -C -w any -o Tunnel=ethernet root@back-it-up-host.home .... which should create a tap interface ... creates a tun0 interface instead?
[13:25] <_UsUrPeR_> afdal: unsure about that one. What does google say?
[13:25] <Afdal> I dunno how to approach this
[13:25] <Afdal> that's why I'm in here :(
[13:29] <Afdal> hmm
[13:29] <newUser23344> Afdal,
[13:29] <Afdal> shall I try this "sudo apt-get --purge remove <package>" command?
[13:29] <Afdal> hello
[13:30] <newUser23344> You referred a wrong link. Try the below commands on terminal to remove all the files inside /var/lib/dpkg/updates directory
[13:30] <rory> Afdal: Did you try running "sudo dpkg --configure -a"
[13:30] <rory> Afdal: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[13:30] <Afdal> yes rory, that hangs on installation
[13:30] <newUser23344> cd /var/lib/dpkg/updates
[13:30] <newUser23344> sudo rm *
[13:30] <newUser23344> apt-get update
[13:30] <Afdal> is your asterisk
[13:30] <rory> I would recommend running: sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/updates/*
[13:30] <rory> instead of those
[13:31] <Afdal> the program I want to get rid of
[13:31] <rory> less potential for error
[13:32] <Afdal> oh that's part of the line
[13:32] <Afdal> okay I removed those update files
[13:32] <Afdal> I'll try apt-get update now
[13:32] <Afdal> omg
[13:32] <Afdal> another "could not open lock file" error
[13:33] <Afdal> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[13:33] <Afdal> E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/
[13:33] <Afdal> jeez
[13:33] <Afdal> should I just reboot
[13:35] <_UsUrPeR_> afdal: is the lock file back?
[13:35] <_UsUrPeR_> do you see it in the directory again?
[13:35] <Afdal> how do I check
[13:37] <Afdal> oh yeah it's back
[13:37] <Afdal> should I remove it again
[13:37] <Mrokii> Hello. I'M having problems starting Firefox on Ubuntu (not sure if it's a firefox-problem though). The error I'm getting is: (process:3264): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed
[13:38] <Afdal> removing it didn't work this time
[13:38] <_UsUrPeR_> afdal: if you are seeing that error, then yes
[13:38] <Afdal> still getting the same error
[13:38] <Afdal> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[13:38] <Afdal> E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/
[13:38] <_UsUrPeR_> after removing the file?
[13:38] <Afdal> ^ when I try to sudo apt-get-update
[13:38] <Afdal> yeah
[13:38] <Afdal> apt-get update
[13:38] <_UsUrPeR_> did you remove that file as root?
[13:38] <_UsUrPeR_> are you sure it was removed? :P
[13:39] <Afdal> <.<
[13:39] <Afdal> oh
[13:39] <Afdal> I guess it wasn't
[13:39] <_UsUrPeR_> :)
[13:39] <Afdal> I did sudo rm lock though
[13:39] <Afdal> how do I get rid of the bugger
[13:39] <_UsUrPeR_> you have to be a root user to delete the lock file
[13:39] <_UsUrPeR_> sudo rm lock
[13:39] <Afdal> that's what I did I:
[13:39] <Afdal> okay, now it's gone
[13:40] <Afdal> and now it's back
[13:40] <Afdal> so I guess it's getting recreated every time I try to apt-get update
[13:40] <Afdal> removing it doesn't resolve the error
[13:40] <_UsUrPeR_> yes
[13:40] <_UsUrPeR_> it's recreated when you run apt-get update
[13:40] <_UsUrPeR_> and it should be deleted when apt-get update finishes properly
[13:41] <vuurdraak> Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64bit, Should I be worried ? Running rkhunter I get this (also after boot) Searching for Suckit rootkit..., Warning: /sbin/init INFECTED, The tty of the following user process(es) were not found, ! root         1352 tty7   /usr/bin/X -core :0 -seat seat0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswitch
[13:41] <Afdal> I'm gonna try rebooting...  :I
[13:42] <compdoc> vuurdraak, doesnt look good, but I cant tell what it is
[13:42] <HJammerstein> MROkii  what version of OS and FF are you using?
[13:43] <newUser23344> afdal is typical windows user always restart :D
[13:43] <vuurdraak> Yeh I don't know what to make of it, although I read that the suckit thing might be a false positve, but with others it got away after boot i think , and the tty thingy i can not find anything on that
[13:43] <Afdal> whew okay
[13:43] <Afdal> apt-get update worked this time
[13:43] <Afdal> it finished anyway
[13:43] <Afdal> Should I go back into Synaptic now?
[13:44] <_UsUrPeR_> cool
[13:44] <_UsUrPeR_> what are you attempting to remove?
[13:44] <newUser23344> :D
[13:44] <newUser23344> Afdal, try
[13:44] <Afdal> this Dropbox program that wouldn't install itself correctly
[13:44] <_UsUrPeR_> open another terminal
[13:44] <_UsUrPeR_> in there, sudo bash
[13:44] <_UsUrPeR_> then do the following:
[13:44] <Mrokii> HJammerstein: Ubuntu 15.04 and Firefox 40.0.3.
[13:44] <_UsUrPeR_> dpkg -l |grep -i dropbox
[13:45] <_UsUrPeR_> see if you see the name of the program in there
[13:45] <Afdal> yes
[13:45] <Afdal> it's there
[13:45] <_UsUrPeR_> ok
[13:45] <_UsUrPeR_> sec
[13:48] <_UsUrPeR_> afdal: ok, still there?
[13:48] <Afdal> hello
[13:49] <_UsUrPeR_> great
[13:49] <Afdal> o:
[13:49] <_UsUrPeR_> what's the name of the file you see when you ran the command I gave you?
[13:49] <_UsUrPeR_> err not file, package
[13:49] <Afdal> iF  nautilus-dropbox                       0.7.1-2                                 Dropbox integration for Nautilus
[13:49] <_UsUrPeR_> ok
[13:50] <_UsUrPeR_> so do the following: apt-get purge nautilus-dropbox
[13:50] <_UsUrPeR_> before hitting "y" to proceed, tell me what it says
[13:50] <_UsUrPeR_> specifically if there's any other dependencies which will be removed
[13:50] <_UsUrPeR_> or any other packages which will be removed
[13:50] <Afdal> could not get lock...
[13:50] <Afdal> goddamnit
[13:51] <_UsUrPeR_> ok
[13:51] <_UsUrPeR_> you need to run apt-get as root
[13:51] <_UsUrPeR_> so be sure to sudo bash
[13:51] <_UsUrPeR_> or sudo apt-get
[13:51] <charllie_> hello
[13:52] <Afdal> same thing :(
[13:52] <_UsUrPeR_> could you paste the error?
[13:52] <Afdal> oh is it because I have Synaptic open?
[13:52] <Afdal> lemme try closing that
[13:52] <Afdal> there we go :)
[13:52] <_UsUrPeR_> yeah
[13:52] <_UsUrPeR_> that's why! :D
[13:52] <Afdal> doesn't look like there's any dependencies
[13:52] <Diip> When using jdbc in tomcat is the charset parameter the charset I want the data to come out or is it the charset of the database data?
[13:52] <_UsUrPeR_> the locker file is created because synaptic is open
[13:53] <_UsUrPeR_> ok, in that case, just hit "y"
[13:53] <_UsUrPeR_> and see if it comes back with any errors
[13:53] <Afdal> I think it worked
[13:53] <_UsUrPeR_> ok
[13:53] <_UsUrPeR_> you can make sure by doing the following:
[13:53] <_UsUrPeR_> dpkg -l |grep -i dropbox
[13:54] <_UsUrPeR_> see if that returns anything
[13:54] <Afdal> nothin'
[13:54] <_UsUrPeR_> if not, the dropbox package was uninstalled
[13:54] <_UsUrPeR_> and you're all set!
[13:54] <Afdal> yay
[13:54] <Afdal> thanks for the help
[13:54] <_UsUrPeR_> yay!
[13:54] <pdc2> #wine
[13:54] <_UsUrPeR_> no problem
[13:54]  * _UsUrPeR_ gains his wings
[13:54] <Afdal> okay so if in the future if this happens
[13:54] <Afdal> I need to find that /update/ folder and remove the temporary files?
[13:54] <Afdal> what was the directory for that again
[13:54] <_UsUrPeR_> sorry, which /update/ folder?
[13:55] <_UsUrPeR_> oh, /var/lib/dpkg
[13:55] <_UsUrPeR_> the file was "locl"
[13:55] <_UsUrPeR_> err "lock"
[13:55] <Afdal> no not that one
[13:55] <Afdal> there was something else
[13:55] <Afdal> lemme scroll up
[13:55] <_UsUrPeR_> oh, I am not sure.
[13:55] <Afdal> ah
[13:55] <Afdal> /var/lib/dpkg/updates
[13:55] <charllie_> I' ve got problem with theme in Kubuntu , i mean when i change position of my cursor to action which i want (for example i'm in gimp and i wanna know what specific tool can do) and i cannot read anything becouse theme is too light, how can i change it ?
[13:55] <Afdal> so this happened because the junk in there got corrupted or something
[13:55] <Afdal> removing the junk fixed it, I think
[13:55] <_UsUrPeR_> oh? strange
[13:56] <Afdal> all right
[13:56] <_UsUrPeR_> I think there's an apt-get autoclean command which would be used to get rid of that stuff
[13:56] <Afdal> I'm gonna update to 14.04 now
[13:56] <_UsUrPeR_> well anyway, good on you.
[13:56] <_UsUrPeR_> oh man
[13:56] <Afdal> before I attempt anything else
[13:56] <_UsUrPeR_> prepare your butt
[13:56] <Afdal> what does that mean :I
[13:56] <_UsUrPeR_> because an upgrade is risky business
[13:56] <Afdal> this better not fuck up my GRUB or something
[13:56] <_UsUrPeR_> do you routinely back up your stuff?
[13:57] <Afdal> no
[13:57] <Afdal> I wish I had a backup drive
[13:57] <_UsUrPeR_> what do you have going on in grub? dual boot?
[13:57] <Afdal> yes
[13:57] <_UsUrPeR_> ok
[13:57] <Afdal> dual booth with Windows
[13:57] <jpds> I'd always backup before an upgrade
[13:57] <Guest93721> I' ve got problem with theme in Kubuntu , i mean when i change position of my cursor to action which i want (for example i'm in gimp and i wanna know what specific tool can do) and i cannot read anything becouse theme is too light, how can i change it ?
[13:57] <Afdal> bah
[13:57] <Afdal> maybe I better not upgrade then
[13:57] <Afdal> ._.
[13:57] <_UsUrPeR_> alright. the installer is typically good about detecting other filesystems on the drive
[13:57] <_UsUrPeR_> *typically*
[13:58] <Afdal> I've got a 950 GB NTFS partition
[13:58] <_UsUrPeR_> I would suggest the following:
[13:58] <Afdal> is that at risk
[13:58] <Afdal> oh actually I'll just unplug that HDD
[13:58] <_UsUrPeR_> no, the partition isn't at risk unless you intentionally overwrite it
[13:58] <Afdal> I had to do that anyway to install Xubuntu
[13:58] <_UsUrPeR_> I would unplug the drive though
[13:58] <_UsUrPeR_> that's your best option :)
[13:58] <Afdal> because that fucking dmraid is a piece of crap that doesn't work right I:<
[13:58] <_UsUrPeR_> language plz
[13:58] <Afdal> when you have a non-raid drive connected
[13:58] <Afdal> sorry
[13:59] <Afdal> <.<
[13:59] <_UsUrPeR_> it's a family channel :)
[13:59] <Afdal> s-sorry
[13:59] <_UsUrPeR_> anyway, yeah
[13:59] <_UsUrPeR_> if you are using a RAID...
[13:59] <Afdal> RAID0
[13:59] <_UsUrPeR_> woof
[13:59] <_UsUrPeR_> ok
[13:59] <Guest93721> do you see me ?
[13:59] <_UsUrPeR_> well that's a different story
[13:59] <Afdal> that coolest kind B)
[14:00] <_UsUrPeR_> Guest93721: yes
[14:00] <Afdal> RAID0 for people who like to live on the edge
[14:00] <pdc2> _UsUrPeR_, how do I  install an ubuntu program in a directory of my choice?
[14:00] <_UsUrPeR_> pdc2: I don't want to sound contrary or silly, but what is the program, and how are you installing it?
[14:00] <Afdal> well I'll just backup my OS stuff that isn't already on my storage drive and then unplug it
[14:00] <_UsUrPeR_> this will help me clarify my response.
[14:01] <_UsUrPeR_> afdal: that's a good idea
[14:01] <Afdal> anyway thanks a bunch for the help with this issue
[14:01] <_UsUrPeR_> you will need to update grub to find windows after the upgrade to 14.04
[14:01] <Afdal> ugh
[14:01] <Afdal> really?
[14:01] <_UsUrPeR_> but that is a far better idea than accidentally formatting your windows drive
[14:01] <Afdal> is that a reliable process...
[14:01] <_UsUrPeR_> yeah
[14:01] <_UsUrPeR_> hold on
[14:01] <_UsUrPeR_> and I'll send a link
[14:01] <Afdal> so upgrading to 14.04 wipes out my current GRUB settings?
[14:02] <_UsUrPeR_> what version of ubuntu are you using now?
[14:02] <Afdal> 12.04
[14:02] <Afdal> Xubuntu, actually
[14:02] <pdc2> _UsUrPeR_, it's a .exe program I'm using wine but I want to get it installed into one of the NTFS partition
[14:02] <_UsUrPeR_> ok, GRUB2 has been used since 9.10
[14:02] <Afdal> yeah I'm on GRUB2
[14:03] <_UsUrPeR_> pdc2: one sec, let me finish up with afdal
[14:03] <Afdal> :o
[14:03] <Afdal> I'm so popular
[14:03] <_UsUrPeR_> afdal: here's an easy repair program you can install - http://www.howtogeek.com/114884/how-to-repair-grub2-when-ubuntu-wont-boot/
[14:03] <_UsUrPeR_> that will detect all your bootable drives and rebuild grub once you've finished the upgrade
[14:03] <Afdal> oh actually
[14:03] <_UsUrPeR_> so here's what you do: back up files on windows
[14:03] <Afdal> I've also got this supergrubdisk thing
[14:03] <Afdal> on a floppy
[14:04] <_UsUrPeR_> wut
[14:04] <_UsUrPeR_> ok, well that may work then
[14:04] <_UsUrPeR_> unsure :)
[14:04] <Afdal> I needed that one time because GRUB sucks at detecting RAID arrays
[14:04] <_UsUrPeR_> oh. well again, not sure how to handle RAID. I assume it's simple, but *shrug*
[14:04] <_UsUrPeR_> anyway, you're all set for now
[14:04] <Afdal> thanks for the link
[14:04] <_UsUrPeR_> pdc2: ok, so you are trying to install a .exe in wine
[14:05] <pdc2> _UsUrPeR_, Yes
[14:05] <_UsUrPeR_> and you want to install those files in the wine drive somewhere, or you want to install it in your windows NTFS partition?
[14:05] <Afdal> been thinking of doing stuff on ntfs myself lately
[14:05] <Afdal> I used to be afraid of corrupting ntfs files by accessing thing on linux
[14:05] <pdc2> _UsUrPeR_, I want to install it in one of the NTFS partition
[14:06] <Afdal> but I've been told ntfs-3g doesn't have that problem anymore
[14:06] <floogy> Hi, I want to make a backup of  a server with rsync. I configured rsyncd on the target/destination host, but got permission errors
[14:06] <_UsUrPeR_> ok, so you have installed wine, right? what we are going to need to create is something called a simlink
[14:06] <pdc2> _UsUrPeR_,  Yes wine 1.6 is installed
[14:06] <_UsUrPeR_> ok, so here's what you do
[14:06] <_UsUrPeR_> open a terminal
[14:06] <floogy> I want to use numeric ids = true
[14:07] <pdc2> _UsUrPeR_, ok
[14:07] <_UsUrPeR_> ok
[14:07] <_UsUrPeR_> sudo bash
[14:07] <_UsUrPeR_> and then do the following:
[14:07] <_UsUrPeR_> cd ~/.wine
[14:07] <_UsUrPeR_> once in .wine, run an ls
[14:08] <_UsUrPeR_> you should see the root directory of your wine environment
[14:08] <_UsUrPeR_> is that correct?
[14:08] <pdc2> _UsUrPeR_, ok
[14:09] <_UsUrPeR_> did that take you to the correct place? do you see the root filesystem of wine?
[14:09] <_UsUrPeR_> it should look like a directory listing of a rudimentary windows installation: program files, windows, etc
[14:09] <_UsUrPeR_> nothing super crazy
[14:09] <_UsUrPeR_> pdc2: is that correct
[14:10] <pdc2> _UsUrPeR_, I'm in terminal and it displays .wine#
[14:10] <_UsUrPeR_> ok, type "ls"
[14:10] <_UsUrPeR_> that will list the files and directories in .wine
[14:10] <bassgoon> on 14 when I run "apt-get -m install fakepackage realpackage" it fails saying it can't locate fakepackage, does -m really "attempt" to keep going?
[14:11] <pdc2> _UsUrPeR_, yes dosdevices drive_c system.reg userdef.reg user.reg
[14:11] <mustmodify> I'm ssh'd into my ubuntu machine and it feels sluggish... but `top` seems to indicate everything is kosher... any thoughts on how I can diagnose? https://url.upwork.com/_012MZGYBetFt0qbl9EREKutICwZiLaWBvs
[14:11] <_UsUrPeR_> bassgoon: you can check program functionality with "man apt-get" in a terminal
[14:11] <_UsUrPeR_> bassgoon: that will explain the -m flag
[14:11] <_UsUrPeR_> pdc2: ok, cd drive_c then
[14:11] <_UsUrPeR_> that will take you to the root directory of your wine installation
[14:12] <_UsUrPeR_> it's kind of a virtual C:
[14:12] <_UsUrPeR_> pdc2: do you know where you want to install the files on your NTFS partition?
[14:12] <pdc2> _UsUrPeR_, yes in drive c of windows
[14:12] <bassgoon> _UsUrPeR_, So I use -m which says "If a package is selected for installation (particularly if it is mentioned on the command line) and it could not be downloaded then it will be silently held back." but when I run it with bad packages it says "E: Unable to locate package fakepackage"
[14:12] <bassgoon> and ends
[14:13] <bassgoon> it's like...doing exactly not what it says
[14:13] <_UsUrPeR_> pdc2: ok, where do you want the installed files to actually reside once you install them?
[14:14] <noelia_> Hello everyone!
[14:14] <_UsUrPeR_> bassgoon: I guess I would just not include the fakepackage in the command. Not sure why it wouldn't continue the installation, since the -m flag states it behaves in a specific way
[14:14] <pdc2> _UsUrPeR_, In drive C because I have ample drive space there
[14:15] <noelia_> Can anybody help me, please? I've downloaded a game called ManiaDrive and I can't run it
[14:15] <noelia_> it says mania2.sh not found
[14:15] <noelia_> I typed sh mania2.sh and it says "not found"
[14:15] <cfhowlett> noelia_, downloaded from ... where?
[14:15] <_UsUrPeR_> pdc2: you want it installed in drive C: on your NTFS partition then, correct?
[14:16] <pdc2> _UsUrPeR_, yes
[14:16] <_UsUrPeR_> pdc2: do you know where your NTFS partition is mounted presently?
[14:16] <noelia_> cfhowlett http://maniadrive.raydium.org/
[14:16] <_UsUrPeR_> pdc2: it's typically mounted in /mount or something unless you have created a fstab entry for it in another location.
[14:17] <pdc2> _UsUrPeR_, all NTFS partitions are mounted in /media
[14:17] <bassgoon> _UsUrPeR_, yeah...I'm trying to reinstall a bunch of packages from a 10 server on a new 14 server
[14:18] <_UsUrPeR_> pdc2: ok. first thing you want to do is create a directory in your ntfs partition to house the files
[14:18] <_UsUrPeR_> pdc2: so do that first.
[14:18] <cfhowlett> noelia_, source or binary download?
[14:18] <_UsUrPeR_> bassgoon: oh, god it. It's strange that apt-get doesn't function like it should with the -m flag
[14:19] <noelia_> cfhowlett static binaries
[14:19] <_UsUrPeR_> bassgoon: that may be a bug. Were I you, I would consider reporting it on launchpad
[14:19] <noelia_> cfhowlett and data
[14:19] <_UsUrPeR_> bassgoon: any contribution to make ubuntu better is worthwhile
[14:19] <cfhowlett> noelia_, cool.  install instructions are at the bottom of the download page
[14:19] <bassgoon> _UsUrPeR_, naturally
[14:19] <_UsUrPeR_> bassgoon: in the mean time, I guess you are going to have to manually parse the installation until everything is copasetic
[14:19] <pdc2> _UsUrPeR_, what should I name the directory>
[14:20] <pdc2> _UsUrPeR_, should I create a directory beginning with "."?
[14:20] <_UsUrPeR_> pdc2: that is your prerogative. It would be simple if you could name it something easy to spell and refer to :)
[14:20] <bassgoon> _UsUrPeR_, yeah, just curious if anyone else had seen it, thanks!
[14:20] <_UsUrPeR_> pdc2: no, do not create it with a leading period. leading periods make the directory invisible to a normal "ls" command, and serve no other functional purpose
[14:20] <noelia_> cfhowlett I can't find them...
[14:21] <_UsUrPeR_> bassgoon: for the record, I have not seen it, but was unfamiliar with that specific flag. have you tried aptitude instead of apt-get?
[14:21] <_UsUrPeR_> bassgoon: it may have some better functionality for your needs
[14:21] <bassgoon> _UsUrPeR_, I'll check
[14:21] <pdc2> Ok, I have created a directory named "wine"
[14:21] <_UsUrPeR_> ok
[14:21] <_UsUrPeR_> do you know the full path to that directory on your ntfs partition?
[14:22] <_UsUrPeR_> pdc2: ^^
[14:22] <LibertyWeNeed1> Why do a lot of GNU/Linux users dislike GUI's?
[14:22] <pdc2> _UsUrPeR_, yes I can copy and paste it
[14:22] <cfhowlett> LibertyWeNeed1, #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:22] <noelia_> cfhowlett I don't really see the install instructions...
[14:23] <mustmodify> I'm ssh'd into my ubuntu machine and it feels sluggish... but `top` seems to indicate everything is kosher... any thoughts on how I can diagnose? https://url.upwork.com/_012MZGYBetFt0qbl9EREKutICwZiLaWBvs
[14:23] <_UsUrPeR_> pdc2: brb
[14:23] <bassgoon> _UsUrPeR_, interestingly, aptitude doesn't appear to have a similar option
[14:23] <cfhowlett> noelia_, seems to be for source only
[14:23] <noelia_> cfhowlett Nevertheless, a sh script should be able to run...
[14:24] <cfhowlett> noelia_, one woud hope ... perhaps best to ask about this in the maniadrive forums.  it IS their game after all
[14:25] <philinux> noelia_;~ maybe there's a ppa somewhere
[14:25] <noelia_> thank you both
[14:25] <cfhowlett> noelia_, philinux asked and http://memak.raydium.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2192&sid=0832ace60e91e9f340e24c439060f43c
[14:26] <_UsUrPeR_> ok, I'm back!
[14:26] <_UsUrPeR_> pdc2: you are not, huh? :P
[14:26] <noelia_> cfhowlett Thank you very much
[14:26] <cfhowlett> noelia_, happy2help!
[14:27]  * _UsUrPeR_ will return in roughly 2 hours
[14:29] <mustmodify> Or if someone could point me to a more appropriate channel I'd be happy to take my question there.
[14:30] <cfhowlett> mustmodify, is this a server?
[14:30] <daftykins> and local LAN SSH or over internet?
[14:31] <mustmodify> cfhowlett: not a production machine, it's really a dev machine. But I initially installed Ubuntu Server, then added some light-weight GUI just to show a dashboard.
[14:32] <cfhowlett> mustmodify, well, #ubuntu-server is an option
[14:32] <daftykins> mustmodify: what's "free -m" like?
[14:33] <mustmodify> total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached Mem:          7859       6850       1009         98        490       1496 -/+ buffers/cache:       4864       2995 Swap:        24335         68      24267
[14:33] <daftykins> there was me thinking "i won't have to tell this person to use a pastebin because they won't..." ah.
[14:33] <daftykins> yes they will.
[14:33] <cfhowlett> there you go again ...
[14:33] <daftykins> !paste | mustmodify
[14:33] <mustmodify> daftykins: you know, I go back and forth.
[14:34] <daftykins> from what?
[14:34] <mustmodify> daftykins: well my rule of thumb has been if it's more than 3 lines, I use a gist.
[14:34] <daftykins> it's more about layout for that one
[14:34] <mustmodify> daftykins: https://gist.github.com/mustmodify/b5fa900f3bc3f21bfaa5
[14:35] <daftykins> lol @ 23GB swap
[14:35] <mustmodify> Yeah I just noticed that.
[14:35] <mustmodify> I don't think it was like that before...
[14:36] <mustmodify> One day I'll remove that.
[14:36] <daftykins> well you shouldn't run with *no* swap
[14:36] <daftykins> and you didn't mention whether it was local LAN SSH or what
[14:36] <mustmodify> daftykins: Yeah, my 'workstation' and my dev machine are right next to each other.
[14:37] <mustmodify> in my office, right next to me. :)
[14:37] <mustmodify> and normally, obv, it's not sluggish AT ALL.
[14:37] <mustmodify> I also noticed some sluggishness rending web pages
[14:37] <Diplomat> Hey guys, I have a little problem. I'm trying to set up passwordless SSH login for root using private and public keys, but for some reason it still asks me for root passowrd. So when I use -v flag for ssh then it shows me that it tries different private keys that dont exist in my .ssh folder. Any ideas how to fix it?
[14:38] <mustmodify> I feel like if vim is slow, things are bad.
[14:38] <daftykins> root =|
[14:38] <mustmodify> root?
[14:38] <mustmodify> oh
[14:38] <daftykins> mustmodify: not you. restart the largest mem using process(es), so maybe apache
[14:38] <Diplomat> Here's my log too: http://pastebin.com/jGbdEZFV
[14:39] <mustmodify> Diplomat: Well, you shouldn't be doing that. So it's good that you came here.
[14:39] <Diplomat> mustmodify: I know I shouldn't do it, but it doesn't mean I can't do it
[14:39] <mustmodify> I see.
[14:39] <Diplomat> I'm trying to set up hadoop + hbase on my local VM
[14:39] <mustmodify> ok, and?
[14:40] <mustmodify> daftykins: will do, but shouldn't there be some indication in top or free -m showing why it's sluggish?
[14:40] <daftykins> Diplomat: several bad practices there :)
[14:40] <daftykins> mustmodify: well you didn't provide so i assume i have to guess :D
[14:41] <Diplomat> Well, I'd be happy to follow someone's guide how to set up hadoop + hbase differently then. But fun thing is that I haven't found any really
[14:41] <Diplomat> I have been following this right now: http://www.tutorialspoint.com/hbase/hbase_installation.htm
[14:41] <mustmodify> daftykins: I added the `top` screen to the gist... sorry, I should have said that. https://gist.github.com/mustmodify/b5fa900f3bc3f21bfaa5
[14:42] <daftykins> is that sorted in any way?
[14:44] <mustmodify> daftykins: memory usage
[14:44] <daftykins> i'd have killed the browsers first off
[14:44] <mustmodify> no
[14:44] <mustmodify> wait
[14:44] <Guest93721> #Qt
[14:44] <mustmodify> cpu usage
[14:44] <daftykins> change to mem
[14:45] <daftykins> well, i'd not have X on a server but yeah 8D
[14:45] <mustmodify> 8D?
[14:45] <daftykins> it's a face
[14:46] <mustmodify> Oh
[14:46] <mustmodify> that's a ...
[14:46] <mustmodify> hm...
[14:46] <mustmodify> makes me think "manic". :)
[14:46] <daftykins> so i suggest rather than staring at it, you restart/close some things
[14:47] <mustmodify> It's not a server as much as it is a dev machine with a dashboard.
[14:47] <mustmodify> daftykins: Well I restarted the largest process per your suggestion and things seem better, I'm waiting to see if it comes back.
[14:47] <mustmodify> like that.
[14:47] <mustmodify> blah.
[14:47] <daftykins> slowdown comes back, or the process does?
[14:48] <mustmodify> Well I'll keep trying. I just wanted to find a tool that would help me pinpoint the problem without having to restart various things.
[14:48] <mustmodify> slowdown came back.
[14:49] <daftykins> and you closed the chromiums?
[14:49] <daftykins> maybe your machine is maxed and the SSH session is getting slowed :>
[14:49] <mustmodify> no, but I'll try that next. Weird that they would be causing this problem though.
[14:50] <mustmodify> daftykins: maxed on SSH sessions at 3?
[14:50] <daftykins> no like CPU load
[14:50] <mustmodify> one strange thing... I only have one tab on one window of Chromium running.
[14:50] <daftykins> i wasn't entirely serious
[14:51] <mustmodify> oh good. :P
[14:51] <daftykins> ones the parent and ones the tab i think
[14:51] <mustmodify> but I see four processes right now.
[14:51] <mustmodify> four chromium processes.
[14:53] <jack78> hello everyone
[14:53] <noelia_> Hello again
[14:53] <jack78> hello noelia
[14:54] <jack78> do anyone have a good knowledge on iso creation of ubuntu distrib ?
[14:54] <daftykins> can you phrase that a little better?
[14:55] <jack78> i need to make an EFI partition on my personnalized iso, but what i found onthe net does not work
[14:55] <jack78> on the *
[14:55] <daftykins> EFI partition in an ISO doesn't make any sense
[14:57] <jack78> ok dafty, so tell me, why when i list partition of an official ubuntu iso i can see an EFI second partition ?
[14:57] <jack78> ../../../ISOs/ubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso2         2038760     2043303        2272   ef  EFI (FAT-12/16/32)
[14:58] <daftykins> hmm ok, new one on me
[14:58] <daftykins> so whatever yours is wasn't based on one?
[14:59] <jack78> mine is base on Ubuntu Mini Remix
[14:59] <JustMozzy_> so ever since I upgraded to 15.04, my lightdm seems to crash very often, although I have removed all proprietary nvidia drivers. can anyone help me aout fix this problem? it crashes sometimes just randomly and sometimes with specific windows, when they open
[15:00] <mustmodify> daftykins: interesting. I restarted the whole machine and it's still sluggish.
[15:00] <mustmodify> So either it's a networking issue
[15:00] <mustmodify> or
[15:00] <mustmodify> something in startup
[15:00] <mustmodify> I guess I'll use the console and see.
[15:00] <daftykins> or it's your client end ;D
[15:03] <ravi__kumar> can anyone help me out with installing linux from command line "boot:"
[15:03] <jack78> Where could i see the method used by official ubuntu iso building ?
[15:03] <daftykins> ravi__kumar: if you got that trying to boot from DVD/flash drive - something is wrong with your media
[15:04] <jack78> ravi__kumar: if you have a grub rescue console, you can boot on linux, if not daftykins is right
[15:05] <ravi__kumar> daftykins: ok. thank you very much.
[15:05] <mustmodify> daftykins: Well, nothing else on the client end is sluggish, but certainly that's a possibility.
[15:05] <mustmodify> daftykins: so the terminal was the opposite of sluggish.
[15:05] <mustmodify> It was entirely responsive.
[15:05] <daftykins> since doing what?
[15:06] <mustmodify> Well, as I said, I restarted. SSH was still sluggish. So I plugged a keyboard into the dev machine.
[15:06] <mustmodify> And it was not sluggish.
[15:06] <daftykins> oh right, you neglected to mention that bit
[15:07] <mustmodify> I believe I did, above.
[15:07] <daftykins> "terminal" could still mean a GUI app SSHing in
[15:07] <daftykins> not very clear
[15:07] <daftykins> :)
[15:07] <mustmodify> daftykins: that's true.
[15:07] <SuperLag> Should any Ubuntu package that requires a config file to work have one with the package as it installs, by default?
[15:08] <jack78> Nobody has ever already made an EFI bootable ISO manually so ?
[15:08] <mustmodify> Well I was on the machine itself, but using xterm. But it wasn't sluggish. So the problem seems unlikely to be on that machine.
[15:08] <donzy> :)
[15:11] <donzy> Thoughts on windows 10...
[15:11] <k1l> donzy: in #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:11] <donzy> Sorry
[15:12] <donzy> Just installed ubuntu mate
[15:12] <daftykins> that's nice, dear
[15:13] <compdoc> Just installed ubuntu, mate
[15:13] <compdoc> whole diff meaning

[15:44] <fathom> Hi, I am trying to get dual monitor working and I tried both fglrx and ati radeon options, none work. Each time I am prompted my password, the config gui just dissapears
[15:46] <fathom> Perhaps this means a reinstall?
[15:50] <daftykins> fathom: what do you mean config GUI? CCC?
[15:53] <fathom> daftykins, I used the ati options
[15:54] <fathom> daftykins, They appear broken
[15:54] <daftykins> you're going to need to be a lot more specific about what you did
[15:54] <daftykins> also, what card?
[15:55] <fathom> http://pastebin.com/A6zvkvMk
[15:55] <fathom> daftykins, ati radeon?
[15:55] <fathom> No?
[15:56] <daftykins> R7 200
[15:56] <fathom> I cannot get more specific than Catalyst Control Centre
[15:56] <fathom> sawee
[15:56] <daftykins> you at no point said CCC
[15:56] <daftykins> and they haven't been called ATI for a very long time :>
[15:58] <snapzz> outlook.mail
[15:58] <daftykins> channel.wrong
[15:59] <fathom> daftykins, okay, wrong channel
[15:59] <linuxgecko> what's the best apt-get target to install a gui on a server? I'm generally against this, but i need it this time.
[15:59] <fathom> I was thinking of getting dual monitors working in ubuntu
[15:59] <fathom> Not happening
[15:59] <daftykins> fathom: i didn't mean you with the wrong channel comment :)
[15:59] <fathom> This gui thing is clearly broken
[16:00] <linuxgecko> fathom:  dual monitor, same vid card?
[16:00] <daftykins> fathom: there's nothing wrong with getting it going, you must've had driver installation issues
[16:01] <fathom> right, driver installation issues
[16:02] <linuxgecko> fathom:  what card/drivers?
[16:02] <daftykins> R7 200
[16:02] <fathom> http://pastebin.com/A6zvkvMk
[16:05] <linuxgecko> fathom: I'm not runnign ubuntu on my machine that has a R7 200, but i have it running linux with dual-monitor.  which driver are you using?
[16:05] <reecardo> i've lost a window somehow... Can't get it to come back. I closed and re-launched the program, and still the window is off screen somehow. How do I get it back?
[16:06] <linuxgecko> fathom: you using propietary?
[16:06] <daftykins> reecardo: right click and move?
[16:06] <daftykins> alt+f6 or F7 is move, too
[16:06] <reecardo> daftykins: Right click what exactly?
[16:06] <daftykins> well it depends what DE you're using
[16:07] <reecardo> DE?
[16:07] <daftykins> desktop environment
[16:07] <reecardo> Using a stock Ubuntu 14
[16:07] <daftykins> so unity
[16:07] <reecardo> compiz I guess?
[16:07] <reecardo> ok, so unity
[16:07] <daftykins> ok with it active, try the alt combos above
[16:07] <fathom> linuxgecko, I tried all the options
[16:07] <daftykins> after pressing you use the cursors to move it
[16:07] <fathom> When it prmpts my passord, it just dissapears
[16:08] <reecardo> wow
[16:08] <linuxgecko> fathom: "it" ??
[16:08] <reecardo> daftykins, THanks, it was a pixel wide, and a few tall, and totally freaking MIA!
[16:09] <daftykins> reecardo: :D did it sorta slide into view as barely visible?
[16:09] <daftykins> fathom: tell us which driver is in use right now - you're not helping yourself by being so vague and non-compliant.
[16:10] <hello-world> hello will someone plz help me i am on a the guest account on my own pc because the admin account keeps looping to login plz help
[16:10] <daftykins> hello-world: check all the files in the user accounts' ~/ are owned by that user, nothing by root
[16:10] <daftykins> hello-world: you can login on TTY1 to check - with ctrl+alt+F1
[16:12] <hello-world> i am very new to this OS so how do i login to TTY1 and what does it do?
[16:12] <daftykins> you press Ctrl+Alt+F1, this gives you a console login screen where you login as your user
[16:12] <daftykins> Ctrl+Alt+F7 brings you back to the GUI
[16:13] <fathom> daftykins, noncompliant...
[16:13] <daftykins> fathom: are you a parrot?
[16:13] <fathom> Sort of like the gui here
[16:13] <daftykins> hello-world: as your user, run "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "ls -al ~/ | pastebinit"
[16:14] <fathom> I am using the AMD Catalyst Control Center...as I mentioned more than once
[16:14] <fathom> ...
[16:14] <reecardo> daftykins, Exactly, alt+f7 put it under the pointer thankfully. God that was wanky, and I have no idea how it happend! Now I can use my IDE again, so back to work!
[16:14] <daftykins> fathom: no you did not, i asked and you never referred to it once.
[16:14] <fathom> When it prompts my password to make changes, I enter passowrd and it goes for a pack of smokes...
[16:14] <daftykins> fathom: also, the CCC is a GUI tool - NOT a driver, so you have no idea what you're talking about.
[16:14] <fathom> daftykins, Oh dear, someone got up on the wrongside of the bed
[16:15] <daftykins> so again i ask - which driver is currently installed :)
[16:15] <daftykins> fathom: don't worry you can go and have a nap and come back later
[16:15] <fathom> hahha
[16:15] <fathom> daftykins, Dude, if you don't feel like helping, whatever
[16:15] <daftykins> i am, you're just not giving me what i'm asking for
[16:16] <daftykins> so if you installed via CLI - state the package name, or if via the additional drivers GUI program - which driver entry you picked
[16:16] <fathom> Well, I have something called the ATI Catalyst Control Center, there is user and superuser
[16:16] <daftykins> just something that gives a clue as to what's running
[16:16] <daftykins> that's a program not a driver
[16:16] <fathom> To make changes to the monitor it requests super user privileges
[16:17] <fathom> I click superuser and enter password and then it goes poof
[16:17] <fathom> Which seems like buggy behaviour in my books
[16:18] <daftykins> fathom: ok i'll translate the repetition as you don't know - so "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" would be handy to state what's in use :) (you'll need to install pastebinit first)
[16:18] <sallu> hi
[16:19] <daftykins> greetings
[16:19] <sallu> greeting who ?
[16:19] <sallu> me?
[16:19] <sallu> if yes thanks
[16:20] <fathom> daftykins, no need for pastebin.com
[16:20] <daftykins> fathom: no, since pastebinit will upload it direct.
[16:21] <reecardo> daftykins, Thanks again!
[16:21] <daftykins> np :)
[16:22] <daftykins> g4m30v3r1d3: pastebinit is a CLI utility which takes files or command output and throws them on a pastebin automatically, very handy for problem solving
[16:23] <daftykins> g4m30v3r1d3: my first suggestion was to check your home folder for files not owned by your user, as that can prevent login - so "ls -al ~/" will show those permissions, then "| pastebinit" uploads them
[16:23] <daftykins> so you should have a URL to paste here (or in PM if you have lots of secret files in your /home )
[16:24] <g4m30v3r1d3> ?
[16:24] <daftykins> g4m30v3r1d3: question mark to which bit?
[16:24] <ravi__kumar> how i can view system log when logs are being written to the file
[16:25] <g4m30v3r1d3> question mark to "g4m30v3r1d3: my first suggestion was to check your home folder for files not owned by your user, as that can prevent login - so "ls -al ~/" will show those permissions, then "| pastebinit" uploads them"
[16:26] <daftykins> g4m30v3r1d3: i don't really understand what you're asking then, it's all pretty clear an explanation to me - i want you to run the command
[16:26] <g4m30v3r1d3> ok which command again?
[16:27] <g4m30v3r1d3> oh the ls one i did that
[16:27] <daftykins> as your username, logged into the TTY - "ls -al ~/ | pastebinit"
[16:28] <g4m30v3r1d3> ok i did that and it said done should i check and see if i can login to admin now?
[16:29] <daftykins> no you're just sharing the current state of permissions right now, upon typing the above it should've come back with a URL - like "http://paste.ubuntu.com/number_here"
[16:29] <g4m30v3r1d3> ok let me check again
[16:34] <daftykins> g4m30v3r1d3: sooo? :)
[16:35] <skrypt> do i give you the url or ..?
[16:35] <daftykins> yes, in PM if you have sensitive personal files
[16:36] <arianphg> hi
[16:36] <arianphg> how are you?
[16:39] <hmw> I use a sound theme with Mate. When I press Shift or Ctrl in GIMP, it creates a sound which I want to get rid of. It is hard to find on the web. How can I configure Gimp to not create sound events? What do I need to read to learn configuring a sound theme?
[16:45] <jhutchins> hmw: It should be in the sound settings for mate, not in gimp.
[16:46] <hmw> I can only change the sound theme in the GUI and in ~/.local/share/sounds/{themename]/stereo, there are sound files corresponding to events. There is no event that I can associate with pressing SHIFT in Gimp, nor do I see some "select" event. How could I sniff the events? Is it using DBUS? Where do I start? I am willing to read and do the work on my own, but I am really stuck here.
[16:46] <ricard> it's better a cable HDMI to DVI-D 18 + 1pin or vga cable?
[16:47] <hmw> jhutchins: ^
[16:47] <daftykins> ricard: what do you mean 18 + 1?
[16:47] <daftykins> HDMI and DVI being digital will always be better than VGA
[16:48] <jhutchins> hmw: I don't know enough about mate to help you, sorry.
[16:48] <jhutchins> !mate
[16:48] <jhutchins> Useless bot
[16:49] <ricard> thaks daftykins
[16:49] <hmw> heheh. I thought sounds are independent of the desktop.
[16:49] <jhutchins> hmw: Usually they're part of the DE.   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound
[16:50] <daftykins> daftyitsme: you're back again
[16:50] <daftykins> so many nick changes, so many clones...
[16:50] <hmw> Well... I will try asking the Mate people. Thanks!
[16:51] <daftyitsme> soryy dafty

[16:53] <leonic> hello i followed this http://wiki.mate-desktop.org/download to install the mate desktop
[16:53] <daftykins> leonic: and?
[16:53] <leonic> but i don't know hot to put it a t work
[16:54] <cfhowlett> leonic, log out.  click the ubuntu icon.  choose mate session.  login
[16:54] <daftykins> leonic: log out and on the login screen, click the ubuntu logo and change the session
[16:54] <daftykins> :D
[16:54] <br0wnie> If anyone is experienced with the Grub Recovery problem with dual boot, I have a support thread going that is what I'd call an "emergency." Hopefully someone can help :x
[16:55] <leonic> well thkans  brb
[16:55] <br0wnie> At the very least it'd be good to know someone looked
[16:55] <daftykins> br0wnie: link it then
[16:55] <br0wnie> Okay I wasn't sure if I could just link or if there were rules, but here it is: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2293214&p=13349467#post13349467
[16:56] <daftykins> br0wnie: oh dear you installed 14.10 today?
[16:56] <br0wnie> Uhh last night, then went to bed after it was installed
[16:56] <br0wnie> It took forever to set up and I had to go to sleep after
[16:56] <daftykins> that version has been dead for months
[16:56] <br0wnie> Well I'm glad my school had me install it
[16:57] <br0wnie> RIP
[16:57] <daftykins> what kind of school is that o0
[16:57] <cfhowlett> timeto change schools.
[16:57] <br0wnie> My college. And the real kicker is this course isn't even required for my degree, but I took it so I could still be fulltime
[16:57] <br0wnie> So am I completely fucked..?
[16:57] <fnuw543> hello! i have a problem with setting spf record for my server. i used TXT record "v=spf1 ip4:[myip4] ip6:[ip6] ~all" (yes, i've replaced [myip4/6] with my IPs:), but google still says that those two ips are not permitted... any suggestion?
[16:57] <br0wnie> Like I can't even boot to Windows or anything
[16:58] <daftykins> don't use that language here, first off
[16:58] <br0wnie> Sorry :x
[16:58]  * cfhowlett walks away
[16:58] <daftykins> was it really 7 and then got upgraded to 8? doesn't look EFI
[16:59] <OerHeks> grub is on sdb, what if you set boot to the 2nd hdd?
[16:59] <floogy> Hi, how can I workaround  "unable to install new version of `./var/cache/apache2/mod_disk_cache': No such file or directory
[16:59] <floogy> "
[16:59] <br0wnie> I should have included more details on the thread itself (the Veracrypt forum post has more details). Basically, I had an internal HD that was my OS (Windows 7 x64) and an external HD. Both were encrypted. Then ~ a year ago I got a SSD and installed 8.1 on it recently (from Windows 7).
[17:00] <br0wnie> I think the old internal HD still has Windows 7 on it. But my SSD is what I run my OS on etc
[17:00] <daftykins> ah yeah sdb is the SSD
[17:00] <br0wnie> Hmm so how do I go about changing that? I've tried changing boot orders as I start up but each one I've tried didn't change anything
[17:00] <floogy> I'm not able to check the filesystem of the virtuozzo/openvz vserver. It seems to be corruptet (reiserfs) Also shutdown -Fr will not initialize reiserfsck on reboot.
[17:01] <br0wnie> I changed the boot order using the f11 spam thing. Is there a better way I should be using?
[17:01] <floogy> From within a rescue system the system will be mounted under /repair on /dev/vzfs, but that device isn't existant (due to virtualization)
[17:02] <daftykins> isn't that the one time boot menu?
[17:02] <daftykins> not a boot order chooser...
[17:02] <floogy> So, I think I have to workaround the package system error that blocks the package system at the moment due to this unremovable directory.
[17:03] <br0wnie> Floogy, what do you mean virtualization? And dafty I did the 1 time boot thing, but I also tried the advanced options where it goes into Boot and I can choose like #1 #2 #3 etc
[17:03] <tgm4883> br0wnie: I agree, sounds like a one time boot menu. YOu should be able to go into the BIOS/UEFI and change it
[17:03] <Guest70129> @daftykins sorry dafty its me again i still cant login to my admin
[17:03] <floogy> br0wnie, it's a vserver with an outdated ubuntu installation. The owner did nothing at all for years on it.
[17:04] <TJ-> fnuw543: If you're operating a mail exchanger (SMTP server), you should ensure the reverse-DNS lookup matches the forward lookup of the MX hostname. Also, For SPF, I would use: "v=spf1 a mx ip4:AA.BB.CC.DD ~all" (only add ip4:AA.BB.CC.DD if that is an additional address on top of the MX record)
[17:04] <br0wnie> When I went into the thing that lets me pick the order, it had them named by the product name (i.e Toshiba xxxxxxx and Crucial xxxxx)
[17:04] <daftykins> Guest70129: i'm still waiting for that paste :(
[17:04] <Guest70129> which one i gave you the pastebinit paste
[17:04] <daftykins> br0wnie: yep
[17:04] <daftykins> Guest70129: i've only seen one still, which was wrong.
[17:04] <tgm4883> br0wnie: when you say things like "the thing that lets me pick the order", it makes me think you shouldn't be changing the boot order
[17:05] <Guest70129> then im not sure on how to do this then
[17:05] <daftykins> Guest70129: i'm at the stage of considering you a troll as i don't believe anyone can be this bad at following instructions :)
[17:05] <floogy> Ok, I need someone who knows the dpkg force options, or some other cheating options to work around this issue.
[17:05] <fnuw543> TJ-: i need mail server just for internal mail - messages for linux users, so I don't have mx records.
[17:05] <tgm4883> daftykins: obviously you've never worked support ;)
[17:05] <br0wnie> Well I only changed that stuff around once everything was messed up. So when I restart, should I hit F2 to access the BIOS? Then is there a menu that lets me choose sdb as first boot?
[17:05] <Guest70129> ive been trying to follow your instructions and it said its an empty file home/g4m30v3r1d3
[17:06] <daftykins> tgm4883: lol, sadly i have. you haven't seen how long this one has been going :(
[17:06] <tgm4883> daftykins: true, I haven't
[17:06] <daftykins> Guest70129: you know it needs to be /home/username right?
[17:06] <wileee> br0wnie, I would ask in ##windows but reloading the windows boot to the sda hd the mbr would be my first start, ubuntu does not show all the normal boot info, however this has encryption....etc.
[17:06] <Guest70129> my username is g4m30v3r1d3
[17:06] <daftykins> Guest70129: double check you're typing ls -al (that's two lowercase L's
[17:06] <TJ-> fnuw543: So you want it for outbound only? That is the definition of a spam source, which explains why Google will block it
[17:07] <tgm4883> why would you name.... no, you know what, nevermind
[17:07] <TJ-> fnuw543: you should relay your outgoing email through your domain's mail server, or your ISPd
[17:07] <br0wnie> Dafty said that sdb is the SSD (which has Windows and Ubuntu on it). Wileee you said to boot to the sda hd? Why is that?
[17:07] <floogy> Maybe I can mount and bind a ramdisk on that folder, to mask/cover that insane folder to get apt-get happy with it, don't know...
[17:07] <daftykins> tgm4883: save yourself! 8D
[17:07] <ricard> then I do leave hdmi cable dvi-d or I restart the vga cable?
[17:07] <br0wnie> Oh man, it really seems like I messed up
[17:07] <daftykins> br0wnie: i'd disconnect the two mechanical 2TBs and see what boots :)
[17:08] <daftykins> because your setup is quite frankly nuts.
[17:08] <floogy> Ok, I'll try that tomorrow
[17:08] <daftykins> encryption to me = lol
[17:08] <yaraju> Hi all! Is this a good place to ask an Ubuntu keyboard layout question?
[17:08] <daftykins> yaraju: yep
[17:08] <linuxgecko> br0wnie:  those are always the lessons you learn best :)  "oh man, i'm never doing THAT again!" :)
[17:08] <tgm4883> TJ-: Whats the original issue, google doesn't block that sort of thing in my experience
[17:09] <yaraju> daftykins: Thanks! When i try layouts besides US, I see 4 letters on each key. I know the left too, are press normally, and press with shift.... what about the right two?
[17:09] <wileee> br0wnie, I would start with hd with the OS having it's boot in the mbr is all.
[17:09] <yaraju> left two, are*
[17:09] <daftykins> someone else better field that one as i know nothing about layouts :)
[17:09] <br0wnie> Dafty, yeah basically it happened from being new to everything. Like I should have wiped out the internal HD so it didnt have an OS on it as well... the encryption and everything was fine until Ubuntu was installed :(
[17:10] <linuxgecko> i didn't recall someone responding directly. what shoudl i apt-get to get a full gui on my server?
[17:10] <fnuw543> TJ-: i have VPS and I wouldn't like to use other services to send mail... what would be the best way to do what I want - just to send mail from server which would be accepted?
[17:10] <br0wnie> I'll disconnect the HD, hopefully something good happens
[17:10] <daftykins> linuxgecko: for which DE?
[17:10] <yaraju> Aah, alright. Thanks daftykins!
[17:10] <br0wnie> I'll hopefully be back soon
[17:10]  * yaraju waits for someone with knowledge with non-US keyboard layouts to show up
[17:10]  * daftykins pats UK layout
[17:10] <linuxgecko> daftykins: i generally like KDE< but i've seen it look like crap on ubuntu before. probably gnome/unity, much as i hate them.
[17:11] <stukandhatingit> i have been typing it just like that im getting to the point of just chucking this os and going back to win 7
[17:11] <yaraju> In specific, I've been trying Swedish, and Indian layouts
[17:11] <tgm4883> fnuw543: when you say it says they aren't permitted, can you pastebin the actual error?
[17:12] <daftykins> linuxgecko: and which version did you install?
[17:12] <yaraju> daftykins: I guess I should have said non-English layouts, and not just non-US layout. :)
[17:12] <daftykins> yaraju: ;)
[17:13] <daftykins> linuxgecko: just "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" would sort you out then for unity
[17:13] <stukandhatingit> ok so my complete problem is that i can only login to my guest acc because my admin acc is stuck in a loop i type my pass and its looped right back to the login
[17:13] <daftykins> stukandhatingit: ok, lets start again...
[17:13] <linuxgecko> daftykins:  15.04 server.  ubuntu-desktop it is..
[17:13] <mcsteve> yaraju: at a guess, I'd say the other two characters on the key are with Alt and maybe Alt+Shift. Could be left/right Alt, specifically. But I'm afraid I've never tried it
[17:14] <fnuw543> tgm4883: http://pastebin.com/HwYpDqXE
[17:14] <tgm4883> stukandhatingit: ok, in the guest account you should be able to open a terminal and su to your admin account. My guess is something crashing
[17:14] <daftykins> stukandhatingit: on TTY1, do you see "username@something:~#" ? (exactly)
[17:14] <br0wnie_> Hey so I hit shutdown, it did the thing where it says "Remove media from tray and close it then press enter." I did that, and rebooted my computer and it went straight to Windows 8.1. There was no boot menu for Ubuntu/Windows.
[17:14] <stukandhatingit> ok first off i want to say i am new to this and i do appreciate the help you are trying to give me
[17:14] <br0wnie_> This is a start, at least lol
[17:14] <daftykins> tgm4883: i'd been trying to get a pastebin of ~ to check for anything owned by root btw
[17:14] <br0wnie_> Internal HD still can't be decrypted.
[17:14] <br0wnie_> But that is ok for now
[17:14] <yaraju> mcsteve: I tried Alt, and Alt+Shift but it didn't work. :( I was wondering if there's any way to check the settings to select/choose the key, since it may not even be set yet
[17:14] <tomodachi> grub-mkconfig gives me cannot find a grub drive for /dev/sdb1  , any suggestions?
[17:15] <br0wnie_> Is there a way for me to completely remove Ubuntu right now? Then hopefully I can install the most recent version instead afterwards.
[17:15] <yaraju> mcsteve: Also, I tried both left and right alt, and also tried super keys.
[17:15] <stukandhatingit> no it says username@username:~$
[17:15] <daftykins> stukandhatingit: that's fine, type this "ls -al | pastebinit"
[17:16] <stukandhatingit> ok one sec brb
[17:16] <tgm4883> fnuw543: ok, and you're not receiving email at your google account then?
[17:16] <tgm4883> fnuw543: or are you just wondering about the error
[17:17] <fnuw543> tgm4883: i am receiving all mail, but just spf is the problem... for example i received some message from yesterday when i set up server (previously i had wrong hostname in my postfix cnf) and rebooted and i looked at headers: google.com: domain of me@mydomain.tld designates [my ipv6] as permitted sender
[17:18] <fnuw543> tgm4883: but this is just one message for now; i will try to send another one and look if DNS is maybe updated now
[17:18] <xentity1x> Has anyone tried the dell xps 13 developer edition?
[17:18] <daftykins> xentity1x: #ubuntu-offtopic for more chatty questions
[17:19] <tgm4883> fnuw543: ok, yea it's possible DNS isn't updated. You could query google's DNS servers for your SPF record
[17:19] <hwpplayer1> do you know how to maximize screen resolution in virt manager
[17:19] <xentity1x> daftkins, i thought it was on topic since it ships with ubuntu as default os
[17:19] <br0wnie_> Is there a source for removing Ubuntu? I'll try to follow it :x I know I can Google, but I'm guessing you guys have a 100% verified version
[17:19] <hwpplayer1> i use ubuntu desktop as a vm
[17:19] <daftykins> xentity1x: support questions here, opinions of sold machines - not so much :)
[17:20] <xentity1x> daftykins, okay thanks!
[17:20] <hwpplayer1> i can't create and edit a file
[17:20] <hwpplayer1> for vga settings
[17:20] <mcsteve> yaraju: hmm. Sorry I don't know more. Just some vauge old idea that the right AltGr key is supposed to do stuff in non-US layouts
[17:21] <tgm4883> br0wnie_: how do you repaint a wall?
[17:21] <br0wnie_> Magic?
[17:21] <fnuw543> tgm4883: i think that google have cached my spf entry, because right now I tried to send another mail and there's spf neutral again. will look what's in google's dns servers for my spf entry.
[17:21] <tgm4883> br0wnie_: you paint over the top of the old paint. Similarily, that is how you uninstall an operating system
[17:21] <yaraju> mcsteve: No worries. Thanks for trying! Will try to find a non-English speaker who has Ubuntu.
[17:22] <hwpplayer1> http://tinyurl.com/ngu97n5
[17:22] <br0wnie_> tgm4883 Hmmm but I don't know if I have the partition space for reinstalling it... and somehow there are like 4 extra partitions or something idk its weird
[17:22] <tgm4883> fnuw543: sounds plausible. you could also test one of the online SPF validators. I would have done it already, but you seem keen to keep your domain secret
[17:22] <br0wnie_> Is there a way to get all of the partitions back together so I have more room for Ubuntu again?
[17:23] <daftykins> br0wnie_: your two 2TB mechanical disks, they're solely storage now yes?
[17:23] <ricard> thyaks bay
[17:23] <br0wnie_> daftykins the internal one has a few games on it, but besides that it is storage and such. External is pure storage, no OS on it.
[17:24] <TJ-> br0wnie_: If you install using LVM, you can add multiple existing partitions as Physical Volumes to a single Volume Group, and make use of all the space without needing to move partitions about.
[17:24] <br0wnie_> But I can't access the internal HD because of the encryption (not letting me decrypt for w/e reason)
[17:24] <LonelyDanbo> can someone tell me why my panel shortcut doesn't work, but the command works in the working directory specified if I type it manually?
[17:24] <br0wnie_> And ok TJ- I'll look into that
[17:24] <mcsteve> yaraju: have you tried the localized Ubuntu channels? #ubuntu-se for Swedish, for example
[17:24] <daftykins> br0wnie_: ok so pull all besides the SSD, (disconnect them) then boot up an ubuntu live session of 14.04.3 perhaps, with just the SSD in
[17:24] <yaraju> mcsteve: Awesome idea! Didn't know about them. Will try out! :)
[17:24] <LonelyDanbo> Maybe it has something to do with wine and "env"? env WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_WoW wine Battle.net\ Launcher.exe
[17:25] <guest-8Ao36u> ok so here is the pastebinit url for my problem "http://paste.ubuntu.com/12264667 and i typed it just like ls -al |pastebinit
[17:25] <br0wnie_> daftykins, how do I boot up that version? I only have that install disc that came w/ my book
[17:25] <fnuw543> tgm4883: i tried online spf validators and everywhere i get result as correct. the reason why i don't want to show you my domain is because i don't believe i know everything about servers and stuff, so better to be a little bit more careful, when pasting stuff like that to public conversations ;)
[17:25] <br0wnie_> What is the plan once I have everything removed and boot up to that Ubuntu?
[17:26] <daftykins> br0wnie_: download it and throw it on a flash drive if you have one
[17:26] <daftykins> guest-8Ao36u: nope that's still wrong :(
[17:27] <ariqs> 10:25 < ariqs> I have a wifi dongle that I plug in and then it shows up on iwconfig for a couple seconds, then disappears, then shows up again... etc
[17:27] <ariqs> 10:26 < ariqs> I ran dmesg and I suspect this is the only telling thing: "USB disconnect, device number 21"
[17:27] <ariqs> 10:26 < ariqs> after that it continues, acting like all is fine
[17:27] <ariqs> 10:26 < ariqs> how do I figure out why it's disconnecting?
[17:28] <ariqs> the dongle works fine on my desktop
[17:28] <daftykins> use a different port?
[17:28] <ariqs> tried all the ports, too
[17:28] <guest-8Ao36u> im getting tired of this im doing everything you tell me to do and is there a way that i wont keep getting kicked off guest after i press ctrl+ALT+f7?
[17:29] <daftykins> guest-8Ao36u: tell you what, do "ls /home" and tell me if it shows the username you expect
[17:30] <ariqs> no one has any ideas?
[17:30] <guest-8Ao36u> ok i will try that
[17:30] <br0wnie_> Hey daftykins, I am downloading it now. Do I have to "burn" that .iso to the USB? Or do I literally just leave the file there?
[17:30] <br0wnie_> Typically I've always had to do .iso to USB
[17:31] <daftykins> br0wnie_: use universal USB installer from pendrivelinux.com to format the drive and put it on
[17:32] <br0wnie_> Okay, it is my brother's USB since mine is MIA. Will it be able to be turned back to a regular USB after? (I've always been able to do that but wanted to make sure). Should I put his files onto my external HD?
[17:32] <guest-mjXl2l> does not give the username im expecting nor does it give me a username it says root root
[17:34] <daftykins> br0wnie_: yes, might want to copy off whatever is on it in case you get shouted at too :P
[17:35] <SonSteek> good evening all
[17:35] <br0wnie_> lol okay will do
[17:35] <yaraju> mcsteve, daftykins: Alt Gr is the right answer - except I had to press the key twice with Alt Gr pressed down
[17:36] <SonSteek> question: is Steam available on Ubuntu?
[17:36] <mcsteve> yaraju: glad you figured it out! and good to know in case I need to expand my repetoire of multilingual profanities :)
[17:36] <SonSteek> found it Software Centre, but link seems to be broken
[17:37] <OerHeks> SonSteek, enable the partner repo in softwarecenter > sources.
[17:37] <OerHeks> !steam
[17:37] <SonSteek> ty
[17:37] <SonSteek> will do
[17:37] <thiswillkeepchan> ok well dafty no it doesnt give me the username im expecting instesad it says root root
[17:38] <yaraju> mcsteve: Welcome. :) Also, that works for Swedish, but appears to fail for indic scripts. :( Will go hunt for a channel for indic scripts now to figure that out
[17:38] <br0wnie_> daftykins I'm putting the .iso onto the USB now. Seriously thank you for your patience and help so far. Once it is does and I remove the HD's and boot from USB, what do I do next? Do I go to try mode? Or try and install again? I don't know if I have enough room to install
[17:39] <br0wnie_> once it is done*
[17:39] <daftykins> thiswillkeepchan: then it sounds like you don't have an account on there - are you sure you're not typing from a live session? (booted DVD or flash drive)
[17:39] <daftykins> br0wnie_: boot 'try' with just the SSD in yep, then come back here
[17:39] <br0wnie_> kk
[17:39] <thiswillkeepchan> i honestly dont know
[17:40] <thiswillkeepchan> thats y im asking for help
[17:40] <daftykins> thiswillkeepchan: no, you should know whether there's a flash drive or DVD in that you're booted from :)
[17:40] <daftykins> you can't ask us to tell you what's in :D
[17:41] <thiswillkeepchan> oh no im not im booted from ubuntu os right on my laptop and no flashdrive or dvd
[17:43] <daftykins> thiswillkeepchan: ok so "ls /home | pastebinit" lets get a look at that
[17:44] <OerHeks> thiswillkeepchan, guest-8Ao36u , stukandhatingit howcome you all still here ( after supposed change user > root ?)
[17:44] <guest-rGL3Xt> im not booted from a dvd or a flashdrive  now what dafty?
[17:44] <OerHeks> oh next new name ...
[17:47] <tgm4883> someone needs to setup an account on irccloud...
[17:48] <br0wnie> Hey, booted up fine
[17:48] <br0wnie> I'm on the try mode now
[17:48] <guest-rGL3Xt> how do i set up that account on irccloud?
[17:48] <ikonia> guest-rGL3Xt: that is nothing to do with this channel
[17:49] <daftykins> br0wnie: open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo parted -l | pastebinit"
[17:49] <guest-rGL3Xt> ok btw this is thiswillkeepchan, guest-8Ao36u , stukandhatingit im on a guest account because im not able to login to my admin because its stuck on a loop
[17:50] <tgm4883> ikonia: to be fair, I didn't mention that he should. But you're right, that question isn't really ubuntu related and.... really points at the level of technical ability for this user
[17:50] <guest-rGL3Xt> so when i go to the tty it logsme out and then i have to log back in
[17:50] <tgm4883> err, did mention
[17:50] <br0wnie> Okay daftykins, should I paste the link here? Or is it info that shouldn't be public?
[17:50] <daftykins> br0wnie: it's fine here
[17:50] <br0wnie> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12264980/
[17:51] <daftykins> knowing the size of your Windows partitions is no secret
[17:51] <daftykins> :>
[17:51] <br0wnie> I hadn't looked at the log yet :p
[17:51] <tgm4883> daftykins: always stealing people's bits
[17:51] <br0wnie> Oh nooo  not my bits
[17:51] <daftykins> yep, all of 'em
[17:52] <daftykins> br0wnie: so you could run gparted and delete all the Linux partitions
[17:52] <daftykins> (5,6,7,8)
[17:52] <daftykins> 5 kinda confuses me 'cause it has no FS o0
[17:52] <guest-rGL3Xt> im just trying to get my admin account to let me login then ill be out of your hair
[17:53] <daftykins> guest-rGL3Xt: i'd still like to see "ls /home | pastebinit"
[17:53] <daftykins> guest-rGL3Xt: you may be able to run it from the GUI terminal app
[17:53] <br0wnie> daftykins is that the USB I'm using right now? It is ~8 gigs
[17:53] <br0wnie> I could 100% be wrong though
[17:54] <tgm4883> guest-rGL3Xt: I suppose making a new admin account is out of the question?
[17:54] <br0wnie> Wait nvm I see what you mean
[17:54] <br0wnie> The USB is in its own section
[17:54] <guest-rGL3Xt> i could do that if i had help
[17:54] <daftykins> br0wnie: no that's sdb
[17:54] <daftykins> ja
[17:54] <guest-rGL3Xt> because im new to this and im just learning
[17:54] <daftykins> guest-rGL3Xt: had help? what more help than the command do you need?
[17:55] <br0wnie> Yeah. Hmmm idk what it could be? Maybe it is when I first tried making a Linux install and I thought it froze or something and I shut it down.
[17:55] <guest-rGL3Xt> thats what i meant
[17:55] <br0wnie> Well something like that idk
[17:55] <br0wnie> Maybe that is why its no FS?
[17:55] <br0wnie> Prob the dumbest thing I've ever done
[17:55] <br0wnie> lol
[17:55] <guest-rGL3Xt> if you give me thew command to make a new admin acc then i will follow it
[17:55] <daftykins> *facepalm*
[17:56] <daftykins> tgm4883: do you want to take over with guest-rGL3Xt ? my patience is gone
[17:56] <fldka> Does any one know the lead singer for the group Ass Juice
[17:56] <tgm4883> I
[17:56] <tgm4883> for a bit I suppose
[17:56] <fldka> {GZ}dr4ev: saving room
[17:56] <guest-rGL3Xt> *facekeyboard*
[17:56] <daftykins> ;)
[17:56] <fldka> cma3585 not a degenerate homo and oldschool rakim/nas/tragedy khadifi
[17:56] <daftykins> !ops | fldka
[17:56] <fldka> {GZ}dr4ev: saving room
[17:56] <tgm4883> guest-rGL3Xt: you're logged in as your guest account?
[17:56] <br0wnie> HMMMM. daftykins, do you think it is safe to delete #5? And if I go and delete all of those partitions you listed, would I be able to reinstall the new version of Ubuntu on 1 partition?
[17:56] <fldka> cma3585 not a 10-9. honky convention, but i'd rather how to dealing when it's Caitlyn Jenner?. 153 left
[17:56] <guest-rGL3Xt> yes
[17:56] <fldka> damn ok. 1187songs dl'd any song ive been unable to find the element. its just these days? i have a swat team. you guys. the tingle on shit. werd. what if we go. vote for mixtapes and country. there we listened to expand its ok. 1187songs dl'd anymore. just look like a flight he like early bluray transit to there it out. meth are just cement. if you. josephneiraa statuatory rape ever had a room
[17:56] <tgm4883> guest-rGL3Xt: and you have a terminal open?
[17:56] <fldka> heard was in circuit city and country. there it is, but please dont tell me what kinda music do you in future. great that about 260songs left
[17:57] <br0wnie> Because if I can clean up this mess and still have Ubuntu, that'd be awesome
[17:57] <fldka> damn ok its getting in 2016?
[17:57] <guest-rGL3Xt> i was using the ctrl+alt+f1
[17:57] <tgm4883> guest-rGL3Xt: you shouldn't need to do that. Open a terminal in your guest session
[17:57] <daftykins> br0wnie: i'm not 100% what 5 is, might you have had an encrypted partition of 8GB after the Windows C:, as a D: ?
[17:57] <guest-rGL3Xt> ok its open
[17:58] <tgm4883> guest-rGL3Xt: ok, what is your admin users name?
[17:58] <guest-rGL3Xt> g4m30v3r1d3
[17:58] <tgm4883> guest-rGL3Xt: why is it named so weird?
[17:58] <daftykins> tgm4883: the only thing in /home was apparently 'root' so i don't think there is one - or something is majorly messed up :)
[17:58] <br0wnie> daftykins when I used to have my other HD's plugged in, D: was a "partition" that was encrypted because I guess thats how veracrypt works w/ harddrives. But since that stuff is inplugged, I don't know what could be in D: right now
[17:59] <guest-rGL3Xt> it means gameoveride im sorry  lol
[17:59] <daftykins> br0wnie: ok i don't think it matters - i'd delete all except 1
[18:00] <tgm4883> guest-rGL3Xt: no worries, ok do this   "su - g4m30v3r1d3"
[18:00] <tgm4883> guest-rGL3Xt: it should prompt for your password
[18:01] <br0wnie> daftykins you said 5,6,7,8 before but never said #2 last time. What about #2? It's 16.2 gb and doesn't have an FS either. Also, what is the command to delete the Linux partitions? You said gpart but I don't know the rest. Once I delete them, will I be able to reinstall fresh Ubuntu?
[18:01] <guest-rGL3Xt> i put in the right pass and it says "guest-rGL3Xt@g4m30v3r1d3-ThinkPad-T400s:~$ su - g4m30v3r1d3
[18:01] <guest-rGL3Xt> Password:
[18:01] <guest-rGL3Xt> setgid: Operation not permitted
[18:01] <guest-rGL3Xt> guest-rGL3Xt@g4m30v3r1d3-ThinkPad-T400s:~$
[18:01] <tgm4883> guest-rGL3Xt: ok, you've got pastebinit installed?
[18:02] <guest-rGL3Xt> i think so is the command sudo apt-get install pastebinit?
[18:02] <daftykins> br0wnie: #2 is an extended partition, it's just like a 'holder' for all the logical drives 5-8
[18:03] <daftykins> guest-rGL3Xt: ooh i know, tell us what "pwd" returns
[18:03] <tgm4883> guest-rGL3Xt: yes it is. And do what daftykins asked
[18:03] <guest-rGL3Xt> guest-rGL3Xt@g4m30v3r1d3-ThinkPad-T400s:~$ pwd
[18:03] <guest-rGL3Xt> /tmp/guest-rGL3Xt
[18:03] <guest-rGL3Xt> guest-rGL3Xt@g4m30v3r1d3-ThinkPad-T400s:~$
[18:03] <br0wnie> daftykins Okay so how do I go about doing this? I'm looking at gparted online, and it says to burn an .iso to a CD. Which I don't have another cd or USB. It also says a package is available, but risks messing with my hard drive/system
[18:04] <daftykins> ah that's only the guest though, nm
[18:04] <daftykins> br0wnie: nah click the dash icon top left (on the vertical sidebar of icons) then type gparted, it'll open a GUI partitioning utility
[18:04] <guest-rGL3Xt> guest-rGL3Xt@g4m30v3r1d3-ThinkPad-T400s:~$ sudo
[18:04] <guest-rGL3Xt> sudo: unable to change to root gid: Operation not permitted
[18:04] <guest-rGL3Xt> guest-rGL3Xt@g4m30v3r1d3-ThinkPad-T400s:~$ g4m30v3r1d3
[18:04] <guest-rGL3Xt> g4m30v3r1d3: command not found
[18:04] <guest-rGL3Xt> guest-rGL3Xt@g4m30v3r1d3-ThinkPad-T400s:~$ su - g4m30v3r1d3
[18:04] <guest-rGL3Xt> Password:
[18:04] <EriC^^> you can't use su from the guest account guest-rGL3Xt
[18:05] <EriC^^> guest-rGL3Xt: you need to use the recovery mode to reset your password
[18:05] <bishops> hello friends, a small detail but bothering to the highest degree and can't really find solutions online: Thunderbird & firefox have the annoying habit of setting my spelling to french (i have french and english installed) and I just wanted to be on english by default. It may be connected to the language support on ubuntu (14.04), anyone has an idea of how to change this?
[18:05] <br0wnie> daftykins so it will be able to delete those partitions? Oh, it must be because I'm running this from my USB right? So it isn't running off the partitions that are being deleted
[18:05] <br0wnie> Neato, what a world
[18:05] <tgm4883> EriC^^: that's a bummer
[18:05] <guest-rGL3Xt> can i just make another admin acc?
[18:05] <guest-rGL3Xt> from guest?
[18:05] <tgm4883> guest-rGL3Xt: ok, so it looks like you will need to ctrl+alt+F1 to make the new account
[18:06] <EriC^^> guest-rGL3Xt: nope cause you need privileges for that
[18:06] <guest-rGL3Xt> ok i will write down the instructions then
[18:06] <daftykins> br0wnie: yeah, live sessions are ace
[18:06] <guest-rGL3Xt> damn ok
[18:06] <tgm4883> guest-rGL3Xt: so you'll need a few commands, but I'd like to just test making a regular account first then logging in
[18:07] <guest-rGL3Xt> ok
[18:07] <tgm4883> guest-rGL3Xt: from the terminal, once logged in do "sudo adduser steve"
[18:07] <tgm4883> it will make you set a password
[18:07] <guest-rGL3Xt> adduser josh ?
[18:07] <br0wnie> daftykins, just to be 100% sure (I have the tool open now). I delete /dev/sda2 right? Because it has sda5, 6, 7, and 8 under it.
[18:07] <tgm4883> guest-rGL3Xt: sure, josh works too ;)
[18:08] <br0wnie> daftykins actually I can't delete sda2 or sda7, they are both locked or something
[18:08] <guest-rGL3Xt> ok brb
[18:08] <daftykins> br0wnie: right click swapoff for the swap one
[18:08] <daftykins> br0wnie: 7 that is
[18:08] <br0wnie> Oooh kk I can delete all of them now
[18:08] <OerHeks> br0wnie, remove the linux partitions first, after that you can remove the extended partition
[18:08] <br0wnie> kk good to know
[18:09] <br0wnie> Once I delete them, will it become free space or something? Will I have to merge it back with the rest of my SSD?
[18:09] <br0wnie> Because I'd like to reinstall ubuntu if it won't mess things up
[18:09] <bromel> #glc.academy
[18:10] <daftykins> br0wnie: it should show as unallocated now
[18:11] <daftykins> br0wnie: you have to hit the green tick to apply the changes (the deletes etc)
[18:11] <br0wnie> daftykins I deleted everything. Yeah I have 15.12 GiB unallocated + 35.84 GiB free space on my SSD
[18:11] <daftykins> br0wnie: can you close and re-open gparted then screenshot with print-screen, then share via imgur.com or similar?
[18:12] <daftykins> alt+print-screen would be even better (active window screenshot only)
[18:13] <Guest63017> ok so that worked i am now logged into josh
[18:14] <Guest63017> how do i make it admin?
[18:14] <Guest63017> im sorry this is taking so long yall
[18:14] <br0wnie> daftykins http://i.imgur.com/C69jfaq.png
[18:14] <tgm4883> Guest63017: sweet. Can you open a terminal and try the su command again "su - adminuser"
[18:15] <Guest63017> josh@g4m30v3r1d3-ThinkPad-T400s:~$ su - adminuser
[18:15] <Guest63017> No passwd entry for user 'adminuser'
[18:15] <Guest63017> josh@g4m30v3r1d3-ThinkPad-T400s:~$
[18:15] <tgm4883> Guest63017: well yea, I meant the actual username of your admin user
[18:16] <Guest63017> oh lol
[18:16] <Guest63017> oops sorry
[18:17] <Guest63017> josh@g4m30v3r1d3-ThinkPad-T400s:~$ su - g4m30v3r1d3
[18:17] <Guest63017> Password:
[18:17] <Guest63017> No directory, logging in with HOME=/
[18:17] <Guest63017> g4m30v3r1d3@g4m30v3r1d3-ThinkPad-T400s:/$
[18:17] <tgm4883> Guest63017: OK, do "sudo usermod -a -G sudo josh"
[18:17] <ikonia> why is su working without a password
[18:17] <tgm4883> ikonia: it's not?
[18:17] <Guest63017> it doesnt show the password
[18:17] <ikonia> ah, he tpyed tje password
[18:17] <daftykins> br0wnie: looks good, now shutdown - remove the flash drive and check Windows still boots happily before going further
[18:18] <br0wnie> kk brb
[18:18] <Anf> Guten Tag, hätte mal wieder eine kleine frage. Wollte mal gerne wissen. Kann man auf der Ubuntu Hompage irgendwo mal nachschauen, wie es mit Ubuntu und Apple Noteboos aussieht. Wie ist da die Funktionalität, laüft es genau so ab wie mit anderen Herstellern, oder muss man bei Apple und Ubuntu auf manchen Sachen besonders achten?
[18:18] <eraggo> !de |Anf
[18:18] <tgm4883> Guest63017: did you run that usermod command I just posted
[18:19] <Guest63017> g4m30v3r1d3@g4m30v3r1d3-ThinkPad-T400s:/$ sudo usermod -a -G sudo josh
[18:19] <Guest63017> [sudo] password for g4m30v3r1d3:
[18:19] <Guest63017> g4m30v3r1d3@g4m30v3r1d3-ThinkPad-T400s:/$
[18:19] <tgm4883> Guest63017: can you also run "sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit"
[18:20] <Guest63017> g4m30v3r1d3@g4m30v3r1d3-ThinkPad-T400s:/$ sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit

[18:20] <Anf> Sorry, wrong Channel :) . Thanks ubottu
[18:21] <tgm4883> Guest63017: ok. Just a single drive in this laptop?
[18:21] <Guest63017> yes
[18:21] <br0wnie_> Hey windows booted up fine
[18:21] <tgm4883> Guest63017: ok, logout and then log back in as Josh. You should be an admin now
[18:21] <Guest63017> its a lenovo thinkpad t400s
[18:24] <br0wnie_> daftykins what do I do now? Should I merge that partition w/ my SSD, then make a new one (that is bigger) for Ubuntu?
[18:25] <itsmeagain> i am now the admin ty very much yall
[18:25] <br0wnie_> daftykins I believe all I have to do is "extend volume" for my SSD right? Since the ~15gb is unallocated
[18:26] <tgm4883> itsmeagain: yw. So here is the deal
[18:26] <itsmeagain> im listening
[18:26] <daftykins> br0wnie_: no point regaining the space if you're installing ubuntu beside it still
[18:26] <Gill> Anyone here good with rsyslog?
[18:27] <daftykins> (where it = Windows)
[18:27] <bekks> Gill: Is that a poll?
[18:27] <tgm4883> itsmeagain: somehow your other users home directory is missing. This is a laptop with one drive, so we know the drive isn't bad. You've got a single partition, so we know it's not some weird mounting issue. That leaves either you deleted it, or it was deleted by some program. So, don't do that again
[18:27] <br0wnie_> daftykins yeah but I want to give Ubuntu more room. Am I able to add more to that unallocated space?
[18:27] <Gill> bekks: sorry I am just frustrated figured to see if anyone knows about it before I type out the question
[18:27] <itsmeagain> lol ok ty verymuch
[18:27] <MrSassyPants> did I somehow wreck my installation? http://nopaste.linux-dev.org/?753615
[18:27] <tgm4883> itsmeagain: that is why you couldn't login graphically to your other user
[18:27] <tgm4883> itsmeagain: yw
[18:27] <daftykins> br0wnie_: use Windows to resize the C: drive, run diskmgmt.msc and then right click shrink volume
[18:27] <bekks> Gill: So just ask your actual question.
[18:28] <tgm4883> also, itsmeagain looks like it's megan, so I might call you megan now
[18:28] <itsmeagain> can i delete the other user by deluser g4m30v3r1d3?
[18:28] <tgm4883> itsmeagain: yea
[18:28] <br0wnie_> daftykins I'll be able to add the unallocated space to the space that I am shrinking right?
[18:28] <EriC^^> itsmeagain: did you have anything important in your missing home dir?
[18:28] <Gill> OK. I am trying to get SIP phones ot send their syslog to an rsyslog server. This is working but the rsyslog server is not logging the SIP signalling. I know its hitting the server though because I see the info comign in with ngrep. Any ideas?
[18:29] <itsmeagain> ok well my name is josh but oh well you just helped me out so idc what you call me
[18:29] <crucerio> on my acer laptop ubuntu 15.04 frequently looses connection to the built in keyboard, often when I did not update for more than a week...
[18:29] <br0wnie_> daftykins oh boy there is only like 5mb available for shrinking >.> I had this problem for a while last night
[18:29] <daftykins> br0wnie_: think of it as |--|---| -> |-|----|
[18:29]  * tgm4883 sends daftykins a bill for lunch ;)
[18:29] <itsmeagain> only passwords and photos
[18:29] <daftykins> tgm4883: 8D
[18:29] <daftykins> tgm4883: i could give you a packet of crisps
[18:30] <tgm4883> I think I'll head out for a burger, thanks though
[18:30] <daftykins> :)
[18:30] <daftykins> !cookie | tgm4883
[18:30] <nug700> :D got ubuntu 15 to work... must of been a problem with 14
[18:30] <br0wnie_> daftykins so I extended my SSD so that it got that 15gb unallocated. Now I am able to shrink my SSD by that much. Is 15gb enough for ubuntu?
[18:31] <Wug> br0wnie_: 15GB is sufficient for an installation, but doesn't leave much room for adding more software
[18:31] <br0wnie_> daftykins I have ~55gb free space but can only shrink by 15gb sadly
[18:32] <daftykins> br0wnie_: depends what you're going to do with ubuntu really, 3GB is the normal install - plus whatever swap size it creates
[18:32] <Wug> you may have more luck using gparted to resize the partition than you will using windows to do it
[18:32] <Wug> offline methods almost always work better
[18:32] <itsmeagain> ok i will leave now and yall wont have to deal with me til something else breaks lol
[18:32] <itsmeagain> thanks again
[18:32] <br0wnie_> Wug daftykins yeah I'm not sure, the class hasn't really started yet (first assignment is install ubunut and watch a video) so idk if I'll need tons of room
[18:33] <br0wnie_> Wug are you saying boot using the Ubuntu USB, then making a partition from there?
[18:33] <Wug> br0wnie_: the installer uses gparted to manipulate partitions before the install, you should be able to use it to shrink the windows partition
[18:33] <br0wnie_> Ah right I forgot about that part
[18:34] <br0wnie_> Well brb then
[18:34] <crucerio> the laptop keyboard... why does ubuntu(15.04) loose connection to it? Might it be that the config get's damaged or something like that?
[18:34] <daftykins> br0wnie_: i think you'd be better off just running ubuntu under virtualbox atop Windows really ;)
[18:34] <Wug> daftykins: he left
[18:34] <daftykins> ah yes
[18:34] <daftykins> that'll teach me to task switch
[18:35] <Wug> crucerio: im not sure what you mean exactly
[18:35] <daftykins> you really shouldn't have advised that :)
[18:36] <Wug> I was going to tell him to make backups, but he quit before I got it out.
[18:36] <stacks88> whats the best way to take a ubuntu server (14.04), and install / add the GUI components? Basically i want to install desktop features, so that i can use VNC and remote desktop in and access gnome or kde or (it doesnt matter which one, just any would do).. Should I run something like tasksel ? Its beeen awhile since ive used gui, or is there another setup command i should run instead. Just
[18:36] <stacks88> looking for the ideal way
[18:36] <Wug> stacks88: well let me start by saying that vnc is terrible
[18:37] <itsmeagain> SON OF A "josh@g4m30v3r1d3-ThinkPad-T400s:~$ deluser g4m30v3r1d3
[18:37] <itsmeagain> /usr/sbin/deluser: Only root may remove a user or group from the system.
[18:37] <itsmeagain> josh@g4m30v3r1d3-ThinkPad-T400s:~$ sudo deluser g4m30v3r1d3
[18:37] <itsmeagain> [sudo] password for josh:
[18:37] <itsmeagain> Removing user `g4m30v3r1d3' ...
[18:37] <itsmeagain> Warning: group `g4m30v3r1d3' has no more members.
[18:37] <daftykins> itsmeagain: don't paste and - that looks normal
[18:37] <Wug> stacks88: I have a lot of luck with just plain old x forwarding
[18:37] <stacks88> Wug: okay, but do you know what is the ideal way to get all the packages installed for gui? I remember awhile back there was tasksel, not sure if thats still the way to do it
[18:38] <crucerio> Wug: well, I installed ubuntu and it worked fine for a week, then the keyboard stopped working when entering the desktop manager... and it only works again when I update the system (using an external keyboard which by the way works fine allways ;)
[18:38] <daftykins> yes tasksel still lists the desktop
[18:38] <mcsteve> stacks88: tasksel should work
[18:38] <Wug> in which case, you can just install whichever gui program you want to use (it will pull in all of the dependencies it needs)
[18:38] <daftykins> but it essentially just does "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"
[18:38] <itsmeagain> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12265446/
[18:38] <stacks88> ah okay cool
[18:38] <daftykins> itsmeagain: just leave it be, it's not doing you any harm
[18:38] <Wug> then just install xming on your windows machines and make sure it's running when you try to start gui programs
[18:38] <Wug> im sure you've done that bit before
[18:39] <itsmeagain> ok
[18:39] <br0wnie> Wug daftykins I just booted from the USB. At the install menu now, do you recommend doing "download updates while installing"?? And the "install this third party software" option?
[18:39] <stacks88> ill check out xming
[18:39] <EriC^^> itsmeagain: type kill -9 3513
[18:39] <Wug> crucerio: no idea. but if it ever works it's probably not a hardware problem
[18:40] <hggdh> itsmeagain: why would you delete the userId you are currently logged in under?
[18:40] <daftykins> br0wnie: just FYI i would not recommend trying to resize the Windows partition further
[18:40] <daftykins> (from the ubuntu installer)
[18:41] <Wug> br0wnie: 15GB is probably fine. if you need more space later you can resize again
[18:41] <br0wnie> daftykins I haven't resized the Windows partition at all. It's still just the main SSD (since I extended it to the 15gb unallocated from earlier). Because before I couldn't shrink at all.
[18:41] <Wug> it's just a pain in the ass
[18:41] <daftykins> br0wnie: eh, so there's no free space on it right now?
[18:42] <Wug> I usually use a 20GB partition for everything except /home on my most recent installs
[18:42] <br0wnie> Daftykins I have ~55gb free space. Just before when there was 15gb unallocated, I couldn't shrink my SSD anymore. So I extended it so that itd get the 15gb unallocated.
[18:42] <br0wnie> So its just 1 partition right now
[18:42] <crucerio> Wug: well, I just found one correspondence, someone had a similar problem in ubuntu 10.04 but his solution too was just updating... which works, yes... until it just doesn't anymore XD^^
[18:42] <br0wnie> With ~55gb free space
[18:42] <br0wnie> Idk how much it'll let me shrink by though
[18:43] <Wug> crucerio: what version of ubuntu are you using? if it's something old, your xorg.conf might be relevant
[18:43] <br0wnie> I mean, do I even need another partition for it? I have the option of "install Ubuntu alongside Windows 8"
[18:43] <Wug> nowadays that file is probably mostly ignored
[18:43] <daftykins> br0wnie: hrmm, maybe do a quick "sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit"
[18:43] <crucerio> my version is 15.04
[18:43] <Wug> br0wnie: it needs its own partition, so it will have to create one regardless
[18:44] <br0wnie> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12265494/
[18:44] <Wug> crucerio: im not sure then. as far as i know most laptop keyboards are internally connected as usb devices
[18:45] <nug700> I got ubuntu 15 installed on an ssd, however my computer won't boot off it
[18:45] <crucerio> so could I add a script that forces linux to let go the device and virtually replug it?
[18:46] <Wug> crucerio: out of curiosity did you install 15.04 fresh or did you update from an older version
[18:47] <crucerio> Wug: it is fresh
[18:47] <nug700> seriously how is ubuntu having MORE problems than back when I was on 10
[18:47] <Wug> nug700: is your bootloader sane
[18:47] <crucerio> hm does it matter that it's (x)ubuntu?
[18:47] <Wug> crucerio: no idea then :(
[18:48] <Wug> don't they have their own channel?
[18:48] <Wug> maybe ask there
[18:48] <Wug> it might be a weird but common xubuntu specific issue.
[18:48] <jhutchins> crucerio: No, the only difference in the ?ubuntu versions is which desktop they install by default.
[18:48] <Wug> nug700: is your bootloader grub or something else
[18:48] <pbx> nug700, you need to give lots more context. like, have you booted this version successfully from another drive?  what's the hardware? has it run other versions of ubuntu successfully?  what have you tried?
[18:48] <Wug> i know grub, if it's something else you will have to google it
[18:49] <Wug> if you boot to it and it just automatically loads the wrong operating system, that's probably a bootloader thing
[18:49] <derek01> Guess whos back! Its me! Still having issues with nautilus. Really dont want to reintsall, as I know its fixable. Ive read that others have had the issue but their resolutions didnt work. Whenever I move a folder or file from anywhere to anywhere, it crashes nautilus
[18:49] <Wug> it might just be configured not to show the prompt, and it's just auto-booting the first entry in the list (windows)
[18:49] <Wug> I believe grub configures by default the shift key to force the prompt when booting regardless of the setting to hide it
[18:50] <Wug> so, just to eliminate possible obvious problems, you might try holding shift while booting.
[18:50] <jhutchins> derek01: I don't think anyone here has had that problem or heard of it before.  You'll need to search web pages, wikis, and user forums/mailing lists for problems with nautilus.
[18:50] <nug700> I installed ubuntu 15 onto an ssd. All I get is a flashing white underscore
[18:50] <Wug> if you're sure it's not something obvious like that, you could try running update-grub to rescan for operating systems
[18:50] <br0wnie> Hey daftykins here is the log http://paste.ubuntu.com/12265494/ it seems like things are okay? Should I try installing?
[18:51] <jhutchins> Wug: So you want to change the default in /etc/defaults/grub, then run update-grub.
[18:51] <derek01> jhutchins: I found a few related articles, pertaining to the bug, however the fix didnt help. I cant remember if it was you who was helping me the other night or not....so many have tried
[18:51] <daftykins> br0wnie: yep, go for it
[18:51] <jhutchins> Wug: Press shift while booting to dosplay the menu.
[18:51] <Wug> jhutchins: --> nug700
[18:51] <daftykins> br0wnie: ensure you pick sda for the bootloader (GRUB) and i would pick no for updates while installing, doesn't matter though
[18:52] <br0wnie> daftykins I went to the next screen just to see, and it looks like I'd get ~29gb partition for Ubuntu http://i.imgur.com/0PfVPWb.png better than expected
[18:52] <br0wnie> taking the plunge, brb
[18:52] <jhutchins> derek01: You should try a different file manager.
[18:53] <derek01> jhutchins: any suggestions on which to go with first
[18:54] <nug700>  Pressing shift does nothing
[18:54] <nug700>  Pressing shift repeatedly
[18:55] <OerHeks> derek01, "Really dont want to reintsall, as I know its fixable" you added KDE and removed it, and you tried reinstall ubuntu-desktop that should solve issues... so you KNOW it can be fixed? tell me how :-D
[18:56] <jhutchins> nug700: Yeah, I'm not sure who I was responding to, I thought  somebody said they were booting straight to windows.
[18:56] <ioria> nug700, what you had before on that disk ?
[18:56] <Wug> jhutchins: I mentioned that I suspect it was possible
[18:56] <yfcihpoymh> good evening ladies and gentlemen. do you have, out of your head, any idea how to achieve an internal drive to pretend to be an actual removable usb connected drive to the system?
[18:56] <nug700> Windows 7 before
[18:56] <Wug> nug700: describe your system and your install procedures
[18:56] <derek01> OerHeks: Well, it happened before the KDE mishap, and It also happened to me on 14.04, which was solved by upgrading to 14.10. So I guess I shouldnt say i KNOW it can be fixed, but I feel it should be able to be
[18:56] <Wug> and remember, windows' bootloader is a dick
[18:56] <ioria> nug700, bios or uefi ?
[18:57] <Wug> that likes to think it's the only bootloader in the universe
[18:57] <yfcihpoymh> I mean how do I trick the system to think that an internal drive actually is a removable one
[18:57] <bekks> yfcihpoymh: You cant.
[18:57] <Wug> yfcihpoymh: you might be able to do so with a kernel driver or something, but im not sure such a thing exists (so you'd have to write it yourself, which is a whole lot of work.)
[18:58] <derek01> OerHeks: jhutchins: I just got an error code, http://pastebin.com/qkhghBZw
[18:58] <OerHeks> derek01, oh, now you mention upgrade to 14.10 .. what else did you try ?
[18:58] <nug700> I reset my bios last night trying to get ubuntu 14 to install. Today I burned ubuntu 15 on a flash drive,  Which let me install without a hitch.
[18:58] <daftykins> yfcihpoymh: why on earth...
[18:58] <yfcihpoymh> bekks: this is too easy a solution for me :)
[18:59] <crucerio> Wug: well... there are around 50 accounts logged in to the xubuntu channel, but the only one writing is me XD
[18:59] <OerHeks> derek01, you have been told too: starting nautilus from terminal give messages, those are not critical.
[18:59] <Klas5> yo
[18:59] <yfcihpoymh> daftykins: easy to explain. I need liveusb creator to cooperate with an internal sata drive
[18:59] <Wug> crucerio: patience
[18:59] <nug700> I had a 1tb hdd as a data drive for Windows that was installed during the ubuntu installation
[18:59] <ioria> nug700, do you know if your motherboard is uefi or not ?
[18:59] <Klas5> so Im writing a bash macro
[18:59] <nug700>  It is uefi
[18:59] <daftykins> yfcihpoymh: you want to boot and reinstall from a secondary disk, essentially?
[18:59] <lrcaballero>  yfcihpoymh: another option is to purchase an external HDD enclosure capable of USB3 & 2 and just run it externally at boot! Do you understand?
[18:59] <yfcihpoymh> Wug: I hope for something already existing, to be honest
[18:59] <derek01> OerHeks: even the last statement, showing the error, BadWindow?
[18:59] <daftykins> yfcihpoymh: easy, don't use silly creator programs, just 'dd' the ISO onto the disk.
[19:00] <derek01> OerHeks: it only shows that message, after I re-create the scenario
[19:00] <Wug> nug700: not getting a grub prompt when you hold shift when booting indicates that you're not booting to grub
[19:00] <ioria> nug700, did you select uefi -usb before the installation process ?
[19:01] <yfcihpoymh> lrcaballero: clever indeed :) still looking for suggestions with the drive internally connected. i mean, i'm pretty sure it's possible (what isn't with linux?), i just don't know yet how.
[19:01] <jhutchins> yfcihpoymh: What are you really trying to do?  All drives can appear as removable.  I use hotpluggable sata drives for backups.
[19:01] <Wug> if you installed ubuntu to a new disk and left the old disk unchanged, then you might simply be booting to the wrong hard drive
[19:01] <notr00tuser> Hello! :)
[19:01] <daftykins> IRC as root, tut tut
[19:01] <nug700> Ill try again making sure I select uefi usb
[19:01] <Wug> nug700: see if you can get a bios/uefi boot menu and pick the other drive?
[19:01] <jhutchins> nug700: You probably need to reinstall grub to the MBR.
[19:01] <br0wnie_> Hey daftykins and Wug, it installed perfectly fine and works great. Seriously thank you both, I thought I was done for lol. I really appreciate the help
[19:02] <daftykins> br0wnie_: now plug the other disk back in, haha ;)
[19:02] <jhutchins> !fixgrub
[19:02] <br0wnie_> daftykins will do :D
[19:02] <yfcihpoymh> daftykins: i need to unfortunately. I need to dump tails (tor live) to internal drive and in order to have persistence i need to use the installer provided, which in turn is a fork of liveusb creator, which in turn doesn't see internal drives but usb and sd card
[19:02] <notr00tuser> I have an uber low spec VPS and was wodering if I can install a lightweight GUI and VNC
[19:02] <ioria> nug700, what you mean with "I had a 1tb hdd as a data drive for Windows that was installed "
[19:02] <Wug> daftykins: you know modern clients will let you put whatever you want in that field and as long as you don't have an ident server running to override it, the ircd will just go with it
[19:02] <ioria> ?
[19:02] <notr00tuser>  vCPU Core
[19:02] <notr00tuser> 128MB RAM
[19:02] <notr00tuser> 500GB Bandwidth @ 1Gbit
[19:02] <notr00tuser> 3GB HDD
[19:02] <notr00tuser> Wooops
[19:03] <Wug> notr00tuser: I don't think you'd want to run a gui on 128MB of ram
[19:03] <Wug> i'd frankly be surprised if the system would even successfully boot to a graphical environment with a recent version of ubuntu
[19:04] <nug700> yea I installed the previous on in bios mode
[19:04] <ioria> nug700, could be a problem if you have Win in msdos and ubuntu in uefi
[19:04] <notr00tuser> Wug:  I can always upgrade the VPS however I was hoping I could run a thing gui for minmial use :P
[19:04] <yfcihpoymh> daftykins: you can indeed dump the hybrid iso to sda, but then the resulting system isn't able to configure persistent volume. but let's not overcomplicate the matter :) i wouldn't wanna bother you with the usecase. I'm just looking for an opportunity to have the internal drive show up as an external one.
[19:04] <daftykins> yfcihpoymh: hmm, why you want this on a hard disk is beyond my understanding
[19:04] <Wug> notr00tuser: you could do what i suggested to br0wnie_ earlier, and use ssh forwarding to run individual applications without a whole desktop environment
[19:05] <Wug> but, im not sure you'd be able to get much on there
[19:05] <ioria> nug700, if you have win with a msdos PT, install ubuntu in legacy mode
[19:05] <Wug> the libraries you'd need to install to make that work alone would use up most of your 3GB disk
[19:05] <notr00tuser> Wug I'm rather new to owning a shell and the whole unix scene can you point me in a direction of a good resource for such a thing?
[19:05] <Wug> here is a pretty good resource
[19:05] <nug700>  What is an msdos PT?
[19:06] <yfcihpoymh> daftykins: good question. I have a dedicated rig for it and after pulling my hair out about a silly acer bios unable to boot from sd card I decided to just dump it to the internal drive instead.
[19:06] <nug700>  Ah partition table
[19:06] <ioria> nug700, msdos / gpt
[19:06] <Wug> and I'd say that as a rule of thumb, for a graphical environment (if you want any semblance of reasonable performance), you will want at least 512MB of ram and 10GB of disk
[19:06] <daftykins> yfcihpoymh: don't own a flash drive?
[19:07] <Wug> you could probably squeeze one onto slightly less if you applied a bunch of tweaks and byte-pinching
[19:07] <Wug> but in general, most of the things you buy a shell account for are non-graphical things
[19:07] <tobbsen> Ahoy. It feels like the shutdown is too fast to let firefox exit gracefully, it always says it crashed after a reboot (Lubuntu 14.04). Is that possible at all?
[19:07] <Wug> (also vnc is a reasonably terrible protocol that performs very poorly on high latency connections)
[19:07] <notr00tuser> Wug, okie doke thanks :)
[19:07] <daftykins> tobbsen: maybe close it first? :P
[19:07] <yfcihpoymh> daftykins: I do. don't wanna have things sticking out from the side though. thus the sd card idea. now, after the acer bios fiasco, it's either selling the damn thing or using the internal drive as a last resort.
[19:07] <notr00tuser> brb
[19:07] <bekks> tobbsen: So close firefox before you shutdown.
[19:08] <barfly> hey, should i enter my personal data when creating certificate for vpn?
[19:08] <barfly> *my real personal data
[19:08] <tobbsen> thats not a good solution, i want it to keep multiple windows open and reopen them later daftykins & bekks
[19:08] <daftykins> tobbsen: yeah, so you choose "keep windows and tabs from last time" then use file -> exit
[19:08] <daftykins> that'll restore all on next run
[19:09] <daftykins> you don't crash it to achieve this :P
[19:09] <bekks> tobbsen: Rhen click on "restore last session" after starting firefox.
[19:09] <yfcihpoymh> daftykins: and ... I'm pretty sure making linux comply with the internal VS usb creator battle is WAY easier than having to deal with the acer bios (modify it) any longer.
[19:09] <Wug> well, if firefox is dumb and just dumps all signals into the crash handling signal handler, then logging off (which sends sigint to processes) would appear to firefox as a flavor of crash
[19:09] <tobbsen> I thought "shutdown" would not crash apps but let them exit gracefully? but thanks for that option daftykins and bekks
[19:09] <daftykins> yfcihpoymh: oh well, too crazy a desire for me i'm afraid.
[19:10] <Guest69> WUG can I pick your brain about a few more things?
[19:10] <Wug> tobbsen: it doesn't really. but it doesn't exactly ask nicely either
[19:10] <Wug> Guest69: sure
[19:10] <yfcihpoymh> daftykins: fair enough :)
[19:10] <Guest69> Wug Can you reccomend a good terminal email app
[19:10] <ki7mt> Ok, this one has me stumped. I'm sure it's simple, but .. In Gedit, can anyone tell me how the Checkmark and X is being displayed as in this this code snippet / text doc: http://ibin.co/2EPErzAHklHM  .. is it a plug-in or something for Gedit?
[19:11] <Wug> Guest69: you mean for ubuntu, or for something like windows
[19:11] <AmazonianDude> I have a question
[19:11] <Wug> I never mess with special applications for that stuff, too much work.
[19:11] <Guest69> Wug for ubuntu
[19:11] <daftykins> AmazonianDude: ask away
[19:11] <Wug> on windows I use putty, and for linux I just use whatever terminal is provided
[19:11] <ioria> Guest69 alpine, mutt
[19:11] <daftykins> Wug: i think the joke was wasted on you re: the 'root' user earlier
[19:11] <Guest69> ioria what is prefferable?
[19:11] <Guest69> I will be using a gmail account
[19:12] <ioria> Guest69 i use alpine
[19:12] <nug700> Seems like it was much easier to install new operating systems 5 years ago.
[19:12] <Wug> daftykins: probably, although the possibility remains that it's simply and old and overused joke and I'm doing my part to kill it
[19:12] <AmazonianDude> daftykins: I have a system running Kubuntu that just will not play any sound. Speakers plugged in correctly etc. aplay -l lists the soundcard correctly and sees it as an Intel ICH5
[19:12] <daftykins> Wug: not since i'm referring to that users' nick :)
[19:12] <ash_work> is SQL_SERVER_ROOT a typical env variable?
[19:13] <ash_work> for bash I mean?
[19:13] <Wug> AmazonianDude: this sounds like a question for #kubuntu
[19:13] <derek01> in looking over my apport error log from nautilus crashing, i see it still stated im on trusty....looking more and more like my dist-upgrade was interupted somehow
[19:13] <daftykins> AmazonianDude: ah no idea on audio issues personally, assuming you've tried the common snd-hda-intel thing
[19:13] <ioria> Guest69 if you are brave, you can think of emacs
[19:13] <Guest69> nug700 I remember installing Windows with floppy disks :P
[19:13] <Guest69> ioria I'm not fussy :P
[19:14] <Guest69> Learning curves are fine
[19:14] <ioria> ^_^
[19:14] <Wug> oh god emacs as a shell
[19:14] <Guest69> The amount of time this takeaway is taking to arrive however is not fine
[19:14] <Wug> please just shoot me now
[19:14] <TJ-> AmazonianDude: common causes: the Mute control is on; the outputs are mixed up ( try connecting speakers/headphones to other physical outputs), master volume is OK but per-output volume is set to 0
[19:15] <AmazonianDude> per output volume?
[19:15] <Wug> AmazonianDude: i have no idea if kubuntu does this but the gnome interface allows you to configure volume per-process
[19:16] <TJ-> AmazonianDude: at the command-line, try "alsamixer" check the controls
[19:16] <TJ-> AmazonianDude: Also, try using 'aplay' at the command-line with an MP3/WAV/whatever file... if that works, you have a Pulseaudio configuration issue
[19:18] <nug700> Woo. Using the uefi installer instead of bios one worked.
[19:18] <nug700> It's boots
[19:19] <ioria> nug700, very good
[19:19] <ioria> nug700, you have two different disks ?
[19:20] <nug700> At the moment just the ssd connected
[19:20] <ioria> nug700, so windows doesn't play ?
[19:21] <nug700>  I want to install a data disk for ubuntu,  then install another ssd to put Windows on
[19:22] <rohan420> Hello everyone!
[19:23] <lrojas> hi all
[19:23] <lrojas> quick question
[19:23] <Rohan_Kanojia> hello
[19:24] <lrojas> if i use ssh keys to access servers, and one of my developers / sys admin leaves, how can i invalidate his keys?
[19:24] <bekks> Remove it from the authorized_keys file.
[19:24] <TJ-> lrojas: remove from authorized_keys
[19:25] <lrojas> TJ-: that's fine if i have to remove it from 1 or 2 servers, but what if i am talking close to a hundred ?
[19:25] <ioria> a script ?
[19:25] <bekks> lrojas: Then you still have to remove the entry from that particular file :)
[19:25] <lrojas> my question is more in general, is there a solution that would let me manage keys in the same way amazon manages keys ?
[19:26] <TJ-> lrojas: Presumably you have some form of configuration management system
[19:26] <lrojas> pressumably
[19:26] <lrojas> i'm really hoping for a sort of "centralized" key manager
[19:27] <bekks> lrojas: USe a configuration management system, and manage the removal of that entry from that file.
[19:27] <lrojas> where i generate the key for a user and the if the user is no longer with us i tell the system to invalidate the keys
[19:27] <bekks> lrojas: "invalidate the keys" is not how ssh keys work.
[19:28] <lrojas> well, somehow amazon manages to make it work like that
[19:28] <ioria> http://www.ssh.com/products/universal-ssh-key-manager
[19:28] <lrojas> without the keys actually being copied to the server
[19:28] <lrojas> ioria: interesting
[19:28] <flow> I am considering using etckeep to backup my /etc folder. However, I don't currently have any private repositories on git. Are there any reasons why I shouldn't make the /etc folder public?
[19:29] <TJ-> lrojas: see e.g.  http://serverfault.com/questions/117072/a-system-for-distributing-ssh-public-keys
[19:31] <Zodowow> Hi, I have a file from which I can no longer remember what it is. Anyways I'm dumping it through cat and hexdump and it appears to be almost all zero's. Now what surprises me is that's it's 30G of it on a NTFS partition
[19:32] <lrojas> thanks all
[19:32] <Zodowow> And the harddisk LED hardly blinks at all, nor does iostat show any reads from the disk device it's on. Any ideas on that? After several minutes the prompt returns so there must be quite a bit of reads
[19:33] <nug700> Having a strange issue where I'm getting a purple screen on startup
[19:33] <TJ-> Zodowow: If the file is mostly zero-pages then it is probably now fully in the page cache
[19:33] <nug700> started after installing a drive that
[19:34] <nug700> I removed it and am still getting the purple screen
[19:34] <Seveas> Zodowow: try 'file your-filename-here'
[19:34] <TJ-> nug700: 'purple screen' is usually the Plymouth 'splash' screen. Ideally, pressing 'Esc' will dismiss it and show the startup messages it hides. However, if in doubt, reboot and use the Recovery mode from Advanced menu
[19:34] <nug700>  Freezes the keyboard too
[19:35] <Zodowow> TJ-: hmm that might be it, it compresses pages?
[19:35] <Zodowow> Seveas: tried that first ;)
[19:35] <TJ-> Zodowow: not even that. If they're zero then every block points to a single page in kernel cache
[19:35] <Zodowow> TJ-: ah dedupe for 0's only? :)
[19:36] <ioria> nug700, start ubuntu than connect the drive ?
[19:36] <TJ-> Zodowow: Yes, since all-zero's is empty. Even if it is real data, it makes no difference since it is correctly represented in the page cache
[19:36] <ki7mt> Ha .. it's Unicode insert ( shift + ctrl +u ) then type the code .. that's pretty cool!! So, so for a checkmark == ( shift + ctrl +u)  < then type 2714> [ Enter]
[19:37] <MrJoestar> Is there a way to show emblems for files and folders in the gtk file chooser? Thanks
[19:39] <nug700> https://www.dropbox.com/s/1odupzivh5mgnra/2015-09-03%2012.37.33.jpg?dl=0
[19:39] <nug700> I get that error in recovery mode
[19:41] <rohan420>  /part
[19:41] <TJ-> nug700: Bad connection to disk drive, or failed drive/controller
[19:41] <ioria> nug700, switch sata
[19:42] <TJ-> nug700: probably the DVD image is corrupt
[19:43] <Zodowow> Any chance of having tar use threaded xz by default?
[19:44] <nug700> Meh was DVD drive
[19:46] <Nils-FR13> #ubuntu-fr
[19:46] <Nils-FR13> bonsoir
[19:47] <Nils-FR13> y a t'il quelqu'un qui puisse m'aider au niveau affichage, j'ai des problèmes avec mes Gnome Panels
[19:47] <Nils-FR13> en particulier ceux que j'ai positionné verticalement, les fenêtre plein écran passent en dessous
[19:49] <stacks88> I ran tasksel and chose Ubuntu GNOME desktop and it installed it. Do I need to "start it up" in a sense, like service gdm start ? because i notice from ps auxw i dont see anything running necessarily
[19:49] <Nils-FR13_> #ubuntu-fr
[19:49] <Nils-FR13_> oups
[19:50] <ioria> !fr
[19:50] <Nils-FR13_> ok, no problem, I made a mistake with Xchat
[19:51] <Nils-FR13_> I don't know how to open 2 chats in the same time, and came from unbuntu-fr, which one I did not want to leave, wish to have both in the same time
[19:53] <Zodowow> Nils-FR13_: /join <channelname usually starts with #>
[19:54] <Nils-FR13> ok, I ask again in english, I have a problem with my vertical Gnome Panels, full screen windows have a part hidden by vertical Gnome Panels, I am using Gnome Flashback
[19:55] <Nils-FR13> this happened after I added a third screen, with a "new" (old) Radeon graphic card
[19:56] <Nils-FR13> how can i check if I am using Compiz or not ?
[19:56] <bekks> Nils-FR13: Which desktop environment do you use?
[19:57] <ikab> hello, I have an ubuntu 14.04.3 server, and I need to install "calendarserver" service (yes I need this), I installed with apt-get but when I want to start the service I get this python exception "xml.sax._exceptions.SAXReaderNotAvailable: No parsers found"
[19:57] <Nils-FR13> I am using Gnome Flashback on U14 LTS
[20:04] <Nils-FR13> bekks,  I am using Gnome Flashback on U14 LTS
[20:04] <bekks> Whats "U14 LTS"?
[20:04] <bekks> Nils-FR13: Do you mean "Ubuntu 14.04 LTS"?
[20:05] <Nils-FR13> bekks, yes I do
[20:05] <Nils-FR13> sorry bekks
[20:06] <bekks> Nils-FR13: Gnome Flashback doesnt use Compiz.
[20:07] <Nils-FR13> bekks, the issue is on my 3 screens, I have one vertical Gnome Panel on each, but, no problem with horizontal Gnome Panel
[20:07] <Nils-FR13> bekks, ok about Compiz, so I don't have to try to setting it up
[20:08] <Nils-FR13> bekks, this issue came with the installation of the second ATI Radeon card + third screen
[20:14] <Nils-FR13> bekks, I found this : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-workspace/+bug/1258422
[20:15] <Nils-FR13> ubottu, ? we found it at the same time ?
[20:15] <Nils-FR13> ouarf !
[20:15] <bekks> Nils-FR13: And how is a KDE error ralted to your Gnome Flashback? :)
[20:16] <bekks> *related
[20:17] <Nils-FR13> bekks, I do not understand your question ?, I do not use KDE, what KDE error ?, you talk about the sentence with kscreen (in the given link) ?
[20:17] <bekks> Nils-FR13: Your just posted a bug about KDE.
[20:18] <Nils-FR13> bekk, well, it is just what I found with my research, but I do not use KDE, maybe this will help, I don't know
[20:18] <Nils-FR13> bekk, yes, I did not read the title correctly
[20:19] <Nils-FR13> bekks, maybe this means, that issue does not belong to GnomeFlashback
[20:20] <Nils-FR13> bekks, but the issue is exactly the same for me, it happens, only if panel is at screens' boundaries, it does not happen on external egdes
[20:20] <Guest69> Waited for 1 hour 40 mins for my food to arrive, do I punch the takeaway driver?
[20:20] <Guest86427> i friends
[20:20] <Guest69> hello Guest86427
[20:22] <ibouvousaime> my USB drive became a 8mb drive and cant mount how can I fix it ?
[20:24] <Wug> ibouvousaime: it's possible that it's gone bad. they die after too much use
[20:25] <Wug> the flash's failure mode is to stop being writable
[20:25] <ibouvousaime> ohhh
[20:25] <Wug> you can try getting everything off of it with dd and then using partition recovery tools on the image if there was anything on it you cared about
[20:25] <Guest69> diskdestroyer!
[20:26] <Wug> once you have that you can try dding over the whole thing, if you get write errors the drive is toast
[20:27] <Wug> (keep in mind that dd-ing over the whole contents of the flash drive is a destructive operation and it will need to be reformatted afterwards)
[20:27] <gschanuel> hello
[20:28] <ntz> hello
[20:28] <ntz> I came to tell truth (I'm suse KDE user and I swear, it works like that): http://lamiradadelreplicante.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/montypython_linux.jpg
[20:29] <ntz> :D
[20:29] <gschanuel> have anyone found a way to disable the area where buttons are on touchpads? Pointer movement is already disabled on this area but if i let my finger on it and try to move the mouse on the normal touchpad area it works as two fingers scrooling and/or zooming
[20:30] <noob__> muhahahaha

[20:31] <Guest69> :)
[20:33] <mekhami> hey folks, this isn't strictly ubuntu related but i could really use some help
[20:33] <gschanuel> ignore thumb resting on trackpad.. that's what I need!
[20:33] <mekhami> i can't really gauge the value of hardware... which one of these is the best value for my ubuntu desktop? http://tinyurl.com/nhxddb4

[20:37] <Zodowow> mekhami: why do you need to buy one, why do you think you need one, what do you want to do with it?
[20:38] <mekhami> Zodowow: my video card just died. i do some light gaming, some programming, want to do some video recording in the near future
[20:38] <Zodowow> light gaming?
[20:39] <francesco_> ciao a tutti
[20:39] <mekhami> Zodowow: yeah i'm not playing crysis or anything, but playing street fighter, some rpgs, things like that
[20:39] <hecatae> mekhami, the 2 port usb pci looks ideal, but are you looking for a graphics card?
[20:40] <mekhami> hecatae: i'm looking for.. what's the difference between a graphics card and a video card? lol see, i'm hardware inept
[20:40] <hecatae> mekhami,  are you an lts user or user who updates each release?
[20:41] <mekhami> hecatae: lts
[20:42] <Zodowow> mekhami: define light gaming
[20:42] <mekhami> Zodowow: above I posted: I'm not playing crysis or anything, but street fighter, some rpgs, things like that
[20:43] <hecatae> mekhami,  I'm using a nvidia gt610 with 14.04.3 on my desktop, no issues found, my setup works for mame and zsnes and similar
[20:45] <hecatae> mekhami,  identical to this model, 2gb ddr ram on the video card http://www.bestbuy.com/site/pny-geforce-gt-610-2gb-ddr3-pci-express-2-0-graphics-card-black/9526059.p?id=1219020243864&skuId=9526059
[20:45] <mekhami> awesome okay
[20:45] <mekhami> is that comparable to the nvidia 450/460?
[20:45] <Nils-FR13> what is called the "laucher" ?
[20:46] <victor_> Hi, I'm on Elementary and want to install qBittorrent... how safe is it to install backports?
[20:47] <xangua> !elementary | victor_
[20:47] <Zodowow> mekhami: get a 730 for that cash or a 740
[20:47] <victor_> Okay forget about the elementary stuff... Should I install the default version or the newer backport version of stuff?
[20:49] <hecatae> mekhami,  gts 450 and gt610 very similar in spec
[20:49] <tgm4883> victor_: backport probably
[20:49] <hecatae> mekhami,  sent you a private message with the links on the nvidia site
[20:50] <hecatae> mekhami,  as Zodowow  states, a 730 or 740 may be possible for the same money
[20:53] <Zodowow> Probably consume a bit more power, also quite a bit quicker however.
[20:57] <Morpheus> hi
[20:57] <Morpheus> friends
[21:09] <rob__> hey guys is anyone available to help me with a steam/nvidia installation problem im having?
[21:09] <stacks88> i installed xfce4 and am using xrdp to connect remotely.. the system has 512mb of ram and is a virtual machine on a amd 2.8ghz processor. the load average is 3.xx .. is that normal for 512mb and 1 core allocated to the vm?
[21:09] <reisio> nobody can help you till you're more specific
[21:10] <rob__> well i didnt want to just post an error message and seem like a dick haha
[21:10] <rob__> but,
[21:10] <reisio> stacks88: how much ram does the host have?
[21:10] <stacks88> 8 gb
[21:10] <stacks88> but vm is only allocated 512mb
[21:11] <rob__> im trying to install Steam on a brand new OS installation. I was able to install steam and get it running without nvidia graphics drivers, but when i install the drivers, steam no longer runs
[21:11] <rob__> i get the error message:
[21:11] <rob__> Running Steam on ubuntu 14.04 64-bit STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically [2015-09-03 16:57:44] Startup - updater built Aug 19 2015 11:27:40 Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1440016726) libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast SteamUpdateUI: An X Error occurred X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
[21:12] <reisio> stacks88: what's the problem?
[21:12] <rob__> the real important part of the error message, i believe, is libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found libGL error: failed to load driver: swras
[21:12] <stacks88> was asking about the load being 3.xx on the vm
[21:12] <stacks88> if that was normal
[21:12] <stacks88> after installing xfce and xrdp and just remote desktop'ing in
[21:13] <stacks88> now its about 1.76 so i guess its normal
[21:13] <rob__> does anyone have any idea how to fix my problem?
[21:18] <reisio> rob__: what was the error?
[21:18] <reisio> stacks88: what's it matter what the load is?
[21:18] <stacks88> uh because things are slow? i didnt think the load would get so high
[21:18] <stacks88> with just installing xfce and remote desktopping in
[21:19] <eraggo> rob which nvidia card?
[21:19] <rob__> gtx 970
[21:19] <eraggo> rob__: sec
[21:19] <reisio> stacks88: is it slow not using RDP?
[21:20] <reisio> rob__: what was the error?
[21:20] <eraggo> rob__: since i have exactly same card. Did you add new repos for latest ubuntu version
[21:20] <LightweightOS> Why is ubuntu's default firewall, UFW disabled by default? Isn't it dangerous to not have a firewall enabled on your computer?
[21:21] <reisio> LightweightOS: nope
[21:21] <reisio> it's dangerous to use Windows, firewall or not
[21:21] <rob__> reisio : i messaged it to you in private message
[21:21] <mcsteve> LightweightOS: not really. By default, Ubuntu also doesn't really have any listening services
[21:21] <reisio> Windows is not Unix
[21:21] <rob__> $ steam Running Steam on ubuntu 14.04 64-bit STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically [2015-09-03 16:57:44] Startup - updater built Aug 19 2015 11:27:40 Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1440016726) libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast SteamUpdateUI: An X Error occurred X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
[21:21] <rob__> but here
[21:21] <rob__> eraggo, i believe so
[21:22] <eraggo> can you check from nvidiacontrolcenter what driver are you running on?
[21:23] <thesilenttype> WagWan
[21:24] <stacks88> reisio by slow im not referring to the remote desktop. im talking about on the system. im also logged in via ssh and cant even type any commands with the load sky rocketing to 23.xx at times.. or just running apt-get install wine
[21:24] <stacks88> seems to have finally settled down to 0.72, guess maybe 512mb of ram is too small
[21:25] <thesilenttype> What's the problem?
[21:25] <reisio> stacks88: this is wht Xfce running?
[21:26] <stacks88> yea
[21:27] <stacks88> i notice running top it says 43.5% cpu for Xvnc so i dunno
[21:29] <Panacea> hey guys, quick question: what ubuntu version are you running?
[21:30] <joesavage> Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'm trying to compile some C that includes kernel header files and am having issues chasing around headers. e.g. I try and compile with the include directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-3.19.0-25-generic/include', and get the following back: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12267301/. I'm running Ubuntu Server 14.04.3 LTS - could anyone lend a helping hand?
[21:34] <LightweightOS> Is there a way to configure pidgin so that it doesn't download rooms to the roomlist that have less than 10 users? Pidgin will lag and crash from all of the rooms with 1 people in it. Maybe it's a bit off-topic, however I am using pidgin to get to this irc channel.
[21:34] <Jordan_U> joesavage: What are you trying to compile?
[21:34] <joesavage> Jordan_U: A kernel module
[21:34] <Jordan_U> joesavage: What kernel module? What is your end goal?
[21:35] <joesavage> Jordan_U: It's just a ridiculously basic kernel "Hello, World" module, I'm just figuring some stuff out. It's hard to get started when I'm still wrestling the header files though.
[21:36] <Jordan_U> joesavage: The problem is most likely that this module was written for a different kernel version. The linux kernel intentionally has no stable internal ABI.
[21:37] <joesavage> Jordan_U: I'd expect a different error in that case though - it appears the problem here is within the header files I'm including, not in my module code
[21:38] <MonkeyDust> LightweightOS  type /j #pidgin
[21:38] <mmejia27> I have a question about setting up iptables to whitelist some IPs to use a SOCKS proxy. I'm using ssh -n -f -N -D 0.0.0.0:$socks_port localhost to create the SOCKS proxy and would like to only allow two IPs to use it. When I apply the following iptable rules, it breaks the proxying (SSH to the box still works). What am I missing?
[21:38] <mmejia27> iptables -A INPUT -s 52.22.104.186 -j ACCEPT
[21:38] <mmejia27> iptables -A INPUT -s 52.22.117.173 -j ACCEPT
[21:38] <mmejia27> iptables -A INPUT -s 0.0.0.0/0 -j DROP
[21:38] <MonkeyDust> !paste | mmejia27
[21:39] <mmejia27> Thanks!
[21:39] <Jordan_U> joesavage: I still expect that is the problem here. You can try compiling against the kernel version this was written for, though most likely that's an older kernel which would likely cause issues were you to try to use it (and thus we wouldn't support it).
[21:39] <LightweightOS> MonkeyDust: Thank you.
[21:40] <TJ-> joesavage: Did you run the 'prepare', '*config' and 'modules_prepare' target first?
[21:40] <mmejia27> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12267504/
[21:41] <joesavage> TJ-: I haven't done any of those, no
[21:42] <TJ-> joesavage: If you're building a module, those need to be done before yoy can do 'make M=path/to/module'
[21:43] <joesavage> TJ-: I'll look into it now - thanks
[21:43] <TJ-> joesavage: I'd also recommend you look at the DKMS build scripts, since they are there to build an arbitrary module against any installed kernel
[21:43] <untrium> hi, short question. if i connect my lumia (windowsphone) per usb to my ubuntu system, ubuntu asks me if i want to open the device with the shotwell photo viewer, but the command blkid doesnt list the device with a /dev/sdx id
[21:44] <TJ-> joesavage: package 'dkms' which builds modules from /usr/src/<moodule-name>-<version>/
[21:44] <MonkeyDust> !phone | untrium try here
[21:45] <TJ-> untrium: That is probably because the device presents as an MTP device
[21:45] <MonkeyDust> hm
[21:45] <anita_> hola
[21:45] <untrium> TJ-: with win10 i can open the phone like an usb stick
[21:46] <TJ-> untrium: It's application-defined how the application presents the device, but the protocol is likely to be MTP
[21:47] <untrium> TJ-: and what can i do about it? if i try to open it with shotwell it gives me the error  "unable to fetch previews from the camera: could not claim the USB device (-53)"
[21:47] <mekhami> which driver is recommended for the evga gtx 750 ti card?
[21:48] <SpongNoVitch> hi every body
[21:48] <SpongNoVitch> i am mohammed from egypt and i am very new on linux
[21:48] <SpongNoVitch> its my first time to run linux
[21:48] <Jordan_U> untrium: Can you browse its files via nautilus (the file manager)?
[21:48] <nexima> hi all
[21:49] <SpongNoVitch> can i get help using linux in this channel ????
[21:49] <TJ-> untrium: That suggests another application may have taken exclusive control. Most file-system explorers can present an MTP device it shouldn't need Shotwell. Do you also see a "Open File Manager" option on the USB connection notification?
[21:49] <untrium> nope, it is not even realy mounted. it shows up in caja (using ubuntu mate here) but with a camera icon. if i browse into the phone via caja it only shows some hint to open it with shotwell
[21:49] <Jordan_U> SpongNoVitch: If you're using Ubuntu, yes.
[21:50] <SpongNoVitch> i am using backbox 4.3
[21:50] <untrium> TJ-: yes i can choose to open it with caja, but it doesnt show any file only a hint to open it with shotwell
[21:50] <SpongNoVitch> ppl told me its part of ubuntu
[21:50] <MonkeyDust> SpongNoVitch  backbox is not supported here
[21:50] <SpongNoVitch> where can i get help using the backbox ???
[21:51] <SpongNoVitch> is ubuntu better than backbox or what should i use ????
[21:51] <TJ-> untrium: The way it is supposed to work is USB > MTP > GVFS > application
[21:51] <nexima> I have used this command "apt-get remove perl" and relationed services has stopped and doesn't start now. could you help me
[21:51] <MonkeyDust> SpongNoVitch  type /msg alis list blah   to find a channel
[21:51] <untrium> TJ-: wat
[21:51] <Jordan_U> SpongNoVitch: Then no. They have their own support channel #backbox on irc.autistici.org (which is not the network you're currently on).
[21:51] <maszlo> Does anyone know of a good resource that compares what current generation notebooks best work with dual booting windows and ubuntu?
[21:51] <untrium> TJ-: where do i find the MTP devices, in /media/user/ it isnt listed
[21:52] <Jordan_U> SpongNoVitch: You can also try ##linux here on freenode, which is a channel for general GNU/Linux support (all distribution questions welcome there).
[21:52] <maszlo> There are number of dinosaur info on Ubuntu compatibility
[21:52] <TJ-> untrium: No, GVFS (Gnome Virtual File System) has a mount point per-device which may show up if you use 'mount' at the command-line. Look for lines with '.gvfs/' in them
[21:53] <maszlo> I am not a novice. Just in market for new ultrabook. Want to avoid the mistakes I learned buying a bleeding edge Optimus (dual video card) system I did back in 2010
[21:54] <TJ-> untrium: I think if GVFS is involved, the mounts will be under $HOME/.gvfs/
[21:55] <TJ-> untrium: In newer Ubuntu releases, the mounts are at "/run/user/$USER/gvfs"
[21:56] <Jordan_U> maszlo: You can always buy from a company that advertises GNU/linux support and ships with a GNU/Linux distribution. One such company is System76: https://system76.com/laptops
[21:56] <untrium> TJ-: at /run/user/ there is only a folder called 1000, this folder is empty
[21:57] <untrium> TJ-: the .gvfs in the home directory isnt a directory, so i dont really know what to do with it
[21:58] <Na3iL> Hey, who know what's the problem with blender when I add mp4 files it tells me file can not be loaded..
[21:58] <TJ-> untrium: right, 1000 is the USER id not USER name. It's not clear if recent Ubuntu releases are using gvfs-mtp or some more direct access via libmtp. I don't use Gnome so I can't check. Maybe someone else using Unity/Gnome can test it so you can compare
[21:59] <untrium> TJ-: i am on mate, or is this the same in this regard?
[21:59] <maszlo> Jordan_U: is that what you run?
[22:00] <untrium> TJ-: opening the phone via file manager, and opening the properties it says that the permissions of the device could not be determined
[22:00] <reisio> Na3iL: try doing it after running blender from a terminal; might get a more useful error in the term
[22:00] <Na3iL> Okay reisio
[22:01] <untrium> TJ-: if i unmount the device, where should i find it so that i cant mount it again via shell?
[22:02] <TJ-> untrium: It's an MPT device, so you'd need an application that 'talks' MTP and presents the device. There's a package 'mtp-tools' which *may* contain something to do that
[22:03] <Epx998> How do I disable a service from starting at boot-up?
[22:03] <TJ-> untrium: "apt-file list mtp-tools" tells me there several command-line tools in there, and man-pages, for manually manipulating MTP devices
[22:03] <Epx998> in centos its chkconfig, is there something similar in ubuntu?
[22:03] <TJ-> Epx998: what Ubuntu release and init system?
[22:03] <maszlo> Jordan_U: they do not seem to have good spec options then need to deal with buying windows to dual boot.
[22:03] <untrium> TJ-: i am reading the manpages now, thank you
[22:03] <TJ-> Epx998: We've got a mix of SysV-Init, Upstart, and Systemd :p
[22:03] <Epx998> TJ-: 12.04 LTS
[22:04] <TJ-> Epx998: OK so SysV-Init/Upstart. First you need to determine if the service is started from /etc/init.d/ (SysV-Init) or /etc/init/ (Upstart)
[22:05] <TJ-> Epx998: what's the name of the service?
[22:05] <Epx998> pe-puppet
[22:05] <dm_comp> hi, what is a normal temp range for a laptop in C?
[22:06] <Epx998> TJ-, looks like just in /etc/init.d - it doesnt exist in /etc/init
[22:06] <TJ-> Epx998: 'pe-puppet'? Hmmm, can't find that
[22:07] <TJ-> Epx998: OK, then you use "sudo update-rc.d pe-puppet disable"
[22:07] <Epx998> TJ-: let me give that a try
[22:07] <sahnounM91> hi , blender not support mp4 format !, is there a solution ?
[22:08] <TJ-> dm_comp: 35 - 50ish
[22:08] <untrium> TJ-: "unable to open ~/.mtpz-data for reading, MTPZ disabled" what do?
[22:08] <untrium> TJ-: libmtp version 1.1.8
[22:09] <TJ-> untrium: No idea! I rarely use MTP devices
[22:09] <reisio> sahnounM91: ...what?
[22:09] <dm_comp> TJ - what would you consider safe. I'm running a game and it hit 85C was able to get it down to 78
[22:11] <TJ-> untrium: looks like bug 1364741
[22:11] <untrium> TJ-: seems like it isnt a mtp device
[22:12] <TJ-> untrium: Check the specs for the exact model; all the Windows support issues say windowsphone only uses MTP
[22:12] <untrium> TJ-: ok, i have found the launchpad site to this bug. what should i do next? i dont where to navigate
[22:13] <noam_> hey there, VNC question. i'm trying to start a vnc server and i'm having trouble with writing a correct ~/.vnc/xserver. if i do gnome-session & gnome-terminal &; i get a gnome-terminal window on gray background with no window manager
[22:13] <noam_> what's the command to start unity? i've googled that for the past 2 hours
[22:13] <untrium> TJ-: ok my idea that it isnt mtp was only based on the fact that in an online tutorial which uses mtp-detect the samsung phone is found, but when i run the ocmmand it says "no raw devices found"
[22:13] <TJ-> untrium: I'd do "sudo tail -f /var/log/kern.log" whilst plugging the device in; that should give some clues as to what the kernel sees of the device.
[22:13] <reisio> noam_: unity --replace, IIRC
[22:14] <ciurkut> hiho, how do i get current display cfg(i want to make script that would toggle between two confs)
[22:14] <reisio> config?
[22:14] <untrium> TJ-: kern.log gives me usb 1-1  Product name, manufacturer, serial number. three lines - nothing more
[22:15] <I-am-Groot> Hello, Just this morning, my dell latitude e6420 running ubuntu begun to hung up/freeze. And when i happens, nothing seems to work not even closing the lid gets it to respond. My only option is to press and hold the power button till it shuts down.
[22:15] <noam_> reisio, thanks but that gives me a python traceback with "no such file or directory"
[22:15] <I-am-Groot> It has happened 5 times now
[22:16] <I-am-Groot> Any help on that?
[22:16] <reisio> noam_: that sounds like a useful error
[22:18] <noam_> reisio, originates from subprocess.call(["stop", "unity-panel-service"])
[22:18] <TJ-> untrium: Those are important, tell me the numeric vendor and product IDs please
[22:19] <I-am-Groot> Anyone??
[22:19] <TJ-> I-am-Groot: start off by monitoring the CPU and GPU temperatures closely. If they climb just before the hang you've got a cooling issue
[22:19] <untrium> TJ-: Product: Lumia 930 (RM-1045)
[22:20] <untrium> TJ-: Manufacturer: Microsoft
[22:20] <TJ-> I-am-Groot: It may just need the fan/radiator cleaning (blowing out with compressed air)
[22:20] <untrium> also, i checked syslog, and it says the device was not an mtp device
[22:20] <TJ-> untrium: does it show the vendor/device IDs (each are 4-digit hex numbers)
[22:20] <noam_> reisio, is unity --replace supposed to be run by root?
[22:20] <untrium> TJ-: exactly like this guy: 1364741
[22:21] <untrium> TJ-: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libmtp/+bug/1393587 *
[22:21] <TJ-> untrium: can you show me "pastebinit <( tail -n 200 /var/log/kern.log )" ?
[22:21] <reisio> noam_: no
[22:22] <untrium> TJ-: the vendor device id is only in the syslog idVendor=0421
[22:22] <reisio> noam_: you trying to run unity the DE frontend?
[22:22] <TJ-> untrium: We probably just need to add your device IDs to the udev rules. Newer device IDs wouldn't be known when libmtp was packaged
[22:22] <I-am-Groot> TJ: Okay...But here is the weird part, it only seems to happen when watching a movie
[22:22] <I-am-Groot> with VLC player.
[22:23] <TJ-> untrium: The kernel log should have a line similar to: "New USB device found, idVendor=05c6, idProduct=6765"
[22:23] <noam_> reisio, yes. i'm a bit hazy on the details, it should go in ~/.vnc/xstartup
[22:23] <I-am-Groot> During the latest occurrence, i was watching a movie with VLC and a terminal screen appeared with all these writings.
[22:23] <untrium> TJ-: idVendor=0421, idProduct=06fc
[22:24] <TJ-> untrium: OK, with that we can compose a udev rule just for you :)
[22:24] <untrium> TJ-: :D
[22:24] <untrium> TJ-: what is a udev rule?
[22:25] <TJ-> untrium: what exact lumia model is it?
[22:25] <untrium> TJ- 930
[22:25] <I-am-Groot> TJ: the errors included EFLAGS
[22:25] <TJ-> untrium: 'udevd' is the user-space device daemon. It receives device state-change notifications from the Linux kernel and configures/notifies user-space and applications so the device can be used
[22:25] <reisio> noam_: oh okay, you want something else, then
[22:26] <noam_> reisio, successfully used this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/475023/how-to-make-vnc-server-work-with-ubuntu-desktop-without-xfce/475036#475036, for a gnome desktop
[22:27] <reisio> gj
[22:27] <noam_> at this point i just want to succeed launching unity to say i've succeeded though :)
[22:28] <leo__> gr
[22:28] <untrium> TJ-: ok reading the archlinux wiki about udev, how do we go about adding this rule?
[22:28] <TJ-> untrium: OK, issue this command exactly as I've typed it at the command line. It'll require your sudo password to write a new udev rules file in /etc/udev/rules.d/
[22:28] <TJ-> untrium: echo -e "# Lumia 930 WindowsPhone\n"'ATTR{idVendor}=="0421", ATTR{idProduct}=="06fc", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", MODE="660", GROUP="audio", ENV{ID_MTP_DEVICE}="1", ENV{ID_MEDIA_PLAYER}="1"' | sudo tee -a /etc/udev/rules.d/70-libmtp.rules
[22:29] <TJ-> untrium: hopefully you will copy/paste that!
[22:30] <untrium> TJ-: should i disconnect or connect the device while running the command?
[22:31] <TJ-> untrium: Doesn't matter, but re-connect after the rules file is in place so it can be acted on
[22:32] <bet0x> Hello, i have a ATI R290 using Open Source Drivers (default) with 3 Monitors, the LightDM has a issue on boot i do see the wrong resolution on my primary screen and i don't know how to configure it.
[22:32] <TJ-> untrium: With luck, the libmtp version will be able to handle it. If not, it would require a later libmtp
[22:33] <untrium> TJ-: haha, windows says "Unable to mount Lumia 930 (RM 1045) No MTP devices found" :(
[22:33] <bet0x> Also i'm using 15.04
[22:33] <untrium> TJ-: ok i read, libmtp 1.1.9 is out, but wasnt merged into ubuntu yet
[22:34] <TJ-> untrium: If Windows says that too, that is weird.
[22:34] <untrium> TJ-: do i have to wait or can i update it myself without risking to break my system?
[22:34] <untrium> TJ-: No windows gives no problems (dual booting win10 with ubuntumate)
[22:35] <I-am-Groot> TJ: I took a picture of the error after it froze..here is a link   http://imgur.com/4npnuww
[22:36] <I-am-Groot> Its not that clear but thats all i got
[22:37] <TJ-> untrium: Which is it? You just said "windows says "Unable to mount Lumia 930 (RM 1045) No MTP devices found" :"
[22:38] <untrium> TJ-: i meant the windows with the warning message
[22:38] <untrium> TJ-: window*
[22:39] <TJ-> untrium: OH!!! :D
[22:39] <I-am-Groot> Do you still think its a heatup problem?? The cpu fan doesnt speed up or makes noise before the freeze
[22:39] <ciurkut> how do i check if screen is on/off via xrandr?
[22:39] <TJ-> untrium: which Ubuntu release are you using?
[22:40] <TJ-> I-am-Groot: That looks bad. Have you tried booting with an older kernel version from the Advanced menu?
[22:40] <I-am-Groot> TJ: Nope, I havent done anything.
[22:40] <untrium> TJ-: 15.04
[22:41] <I-am-Groot> As i said earlier, i got 4 seasons of teenwolf from a friend and thats all i have been watching.
[22:41] <I-am-Groot> I havent tinkered with the kernel
[22:43] <TJ-> I-am-Groot: I meant, try booting with an older kernel version from the Advanced menu to test if it is the current kernel only, causing the issue
[22:44] <I-am-Groot> OOkay, But how do i do that?? I havent messed with the Advanced menu before.
[22:44] <TJ-> untrium: Even 15.10 (in development) only has 1.1.8-1ubuntu2
[22:44] <untrium> TJ-: what does this mean?
[22:44] <bet0x> Hello, i have a ATI R290 using Open Source Drivers (default) with 3 Monitors, the LightDM has a issue on boot i do see the wrong resolution on my primary screen and i don't know how to configure it. I'm using Ubuntu 15.04
[22:44] <TJ-> I-am-Groot: As soon as the PC starts booting hold down the Shift key until you see the GRUB boot manager's boot menu. Select the "Advanced" sub-menu, then choose to boot one of the older kernel versions listed there, if there is one
[22:45] <I-am-Groot> Okay
[22:45] <TJ-> untrium: That Ubuntu is unlikely to have support for the 930, unless there's something obvious we're missing
[22:45] <sudomarize> if i change a git branch without commiting changes (only adding the modified files), will i lose those changes?
[22:45] <reisio> sudomarize: don't cross post
[22:45] <reisio> sudomarize: go to #git
[22:45] <sudomarize> reisio: i mean't to do it ubuntu, not linux
[22:46] <noam_> reisio, i will want to run unity later in the VNC X server, could you please point me in the right direction for that?
[22:46] <untrium> TJ-: so i have to wait atleast a year? ^^
[22:46] <reisio> noam_: sorry I use tigervnc's X module
[22:47] <untrium> TJ-: how do i delete the udev rule?
[22:47] <reisio> it lets you connect as if you were in front of the box
[22:47] <noam_> okay, i'll look that up then, thanks
[22:47] <reisio> highly recommend it
[22:47] <TJ-> untrium: It looks like a source-code patch as well as the udev rule are required
[22:47] <TJ-> untrium: see http://sourceforge.net/p/libmtp/bugs/1226/
[22:49] <TJ-> untrium: I'd think the 'best' way to fix this would be to patch the current Ubuntu source package with a patch specific to this issue, and maintain it on your PC. If Ubuntu package is updated, you can simply re-do the patch
[22:49] <I-am-Groot> TJ: Just before i try that, there is this information i taught might be useful. When i enter dmesg in terminal, i get these.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/12268168/   ... is it normal?
[22:50] <TJ-> I-am-Groot: That's your Uncomplicated FireWall reports
[22:50] <I-am-Groot> OOh Okay
[22:51] <untrium> TJ-: i have to go to bed now, i will come in the following days again online. thank you very much so far :)
[22:51] <I-am-Groot> Then i am going into the boot manager, i would report back
[22:52] <untrium> bye
[22:58] <quietquail> o
[22:59] <I-am-Groot> TJ: So there were two older kernels, so i booted the least older one
[23:00] <I-am-Groot> So am i supposed to try doing whatever i was doing when it froze?
[23:01] <EXIDBot> v
[23:04] <sam_> quit
[23:05] <Jordan_U> I-am-Groot: Yes please.
[23:08] <I-am-Groot> Okay...so far so good
[23:08] <I-am-Groot> No lockups yet
[23:11] <Jordan_U> I-am-Groot: What version of Ubuntu are you using? What is the output of "uname -r"?
[23:11] <Kalimero> sorry for off-topic but how can i re-open a closed chat with a person or at least see trough the log ( he mentioned a program which name i forgot  :( )
[23:11] <Kalimero> in hexchat
[23:19] <OerHeks> Kalimero, not sure hexchat enables logging, check your settings > logging, also a button to open the log folder there
[23:20] <OerHeks> Kalimero, if it was in this channel, maybe in http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2015/09/03/ too
[23:20] <Kalimero> OerHeks: thanks found it
[23:21] <Kalimero> OerHeks: under settings -> logging is a open folder button.
[23:22] <Jordan_U> I-am-Groot: ?
[23:23] <I-am-Groot> Jordan_U: Sorry for the late reply. That command returned 3.13.0-36-generic
[23:23] <I-am-Groot> I think that is the kernel i chose from boot manager
[23:25] <Stryker13X> robert
[23:26] <Jordan_U> I-am-Groot: Please pastebin the output of "ls /boot/".
[23:27] <I-am-Groot> ok
[23:28] <I-am-Groot> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12268484/
[23:37] <Jordan_U> I-am-Groot: Please pastebin the output of "debsums linux-image-3.13.0-37-generic"
[23:37] <Guest98755> Hello there, For some reason, my battery icon is not showing on Ubuntu 15.04 64 bit. Instead of a battery icon, there's a square with a red "NO" symbol.
[23:39] <I-am-Groot> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12268577/
[23:39] <I-am-Groot> Found anything??
[23:39] <Jordan_U> I-am-Groot: Also, you should be on kernel version 3.13.0-63 by now, so even your "newest" kernel is pretty old. It's worth knowing if the kernel image that was giving you panics is corrupt (which the debsums command will tell you) but it's also worth doing a "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to be sure that you have the latest kernel (and other important packages with security updates you may have been ...
[23:40] <Jordan_U> ... missing).
[23:40] <I-am-Groot> OOkay
[23:41] <Jordan_U> I-am-Groot: Hopefully your panics were due to a bug introduced in an update, then subsequently fixed in an update after that.
[23:41] <I-am-Groot> I havent updated Ubuntu due to insufficient disk space
[23:41] <I-am-Groot> Ha, Good to know
[23:42] <I-am-Groot> I only have 1.3gb of free space left
[23:42] <I-am-Groot> and an update would require more than that
[23:42] <TJ-> Huh? you could fit an entire ubuntu-server install in that :)
[23:42] <I-am-Groot> Reaally?
[23:43] <TJ-> I-am-Groot: remember, when you do a package upgrade the new package over-writes the old, so the amount of additional space used is small
[23:44] <I-am-Groot> i dedicated 24 gb space for ubuntu but it has gotten full and i dont know why
[23:45] <I-am-Groot> My home folder has taken 6.9 gb of the 24gb
[23:45] <I-am-Groot> and i have been wondering where the rest went
[23:45] <TJ-> I-am-Groot: Even for a GUI install, the OS rarely needs more than 8GiB
[23:45] <I-am-Groot> So i was told
[23:46] <TJ-> I-am-Groot: use 'df -h' to check the usage per file-system. Use 'sudo du / --max-depth=2 --summarize' to identify the base directories where most space is used
[23:46] <I-am-Groot> Is there a command i could enter that would sort of return the amount of space folders are occupying?
[23:47] <I-am-Groot> Great
[23:47] <Guest98755> Hello there, For some reason, my battery icon is not showing on Ubuntu 15.04 64 bit. Instead of a battery icon, there's a square with a red "NO" symbol.
[23:47] <TJ-> I-am-Groot: ahhh, drop the '--summarize' argument, it can't be used with max-depth
[23:48] <I-am-Groot> ookay
[23:48] <Guest98755> actually I figured it out sorry to bother you all :)
[23:50] <I-am-Groot> The command is still running, once its done, i will send the link
[23:50] <TJ-> I-am-Groot: This seems to give the best output for an overview, listing biggest sizes last. "sudo du --max-depth=2 -x / | sort -n"
[23:51] <I-am-Groot> oookay
[23:52] <I-am-Groot> TJ: I am running the new command but here is the output from the first command http://paste.ubuntu.com/12268681/
[23:55] <I-am-Groot> TJ: Output http://paste.ubuntu.com/12268698/
[23:57] <TJ-> I-am-Groot: You know that log file you showed me earlier, with all those UFW entries in? Look at /var/log/ it is using 3.7GB ... probably because the logs are so massive. You need to turn down the log verbosity of UFW and clear out some of the older log files
[23:57] <I-am-Groot> Wow! Okay
[23:58] <I-am-Groot> Can you please guide me through it?
[23:58] <TJ-> I-am-Groot: You also have 1,4GB in /root/ !
[23:58] <TJ-> I-am-Groot: /root/.android 769MB ... looks like you've been using Android Studio as root
[23:59] <I-am-Groot> Yea, It wouldnt install as a normal user
[23:59] <TJ-> I-am-Groot: several applications under /opt/ taking 755MB
[23:59] <I-am-Groot> But i would delete it as i gave up learning it
[23:59] <TJ-> I-am-Groot: and the rest is in your home directory
