| I-am-Groot | Yea, about the home dir | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| I-am-Groot | And also sometimes when i run the disk analyzer i see a folder called upstart | 00:00 |
| I-am-Groot | and it takes so much of my space | 00:00 |
| I-am-Groot | I sometimes delete it | 00:00 |
| TJ- | I-am-Groot: for comparison, my current /var/log/ is 24MB | 00:00 |
| I-am-Groot | OOhh.... wow | 00:01 |
| I-am-Groot | Looks like mine is way over the charts | 00:01 |
| I-am-Groot | TJ: I just looked inside the log folder | 00:02 |
| I-am-Groot | and check it .. http://paste.ubuntu.com/12268791/ | 00:03 |
| I-am-Groot | its like i have duplicates of the log files | 00:03 |
| TJ- | I-am-Groot: Take a look at these tips for controlling ufw and removing old log files: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/127659/limit-log-sizes-in-particual-ufws-logs http://askubuntu.com/questions/100004/how-can-i-free-space-from-a-massive-39-5gb-var-log-folder | 00:04 |
| I-am-Groot | Okay | 00:04 |
| mrt_ | Hello, my fellow reptilians. | 00:05 |
| TJ- | I-am-Groot: log files are 'rotated' out on a schedule and given number suffixes (.1, .2, .3 ..), and the older logs are gzip-compressed (the .gz files). | 00:05 |
| I-am-Groot | OOkay | 00:05 |
| I-am-Groot | That makes sense | 00:05 |
| TJ- | I-am-Groot: This will list logs with largest last: "ls -lSr /var/log/" | 00:07 |
| I-am-Groot | http://paste.ubuntu.com/12268824/ | 00:07 |
| I-am-Groot | Should i rotate the logs and delete all those with numbers at the end? | 00:08 |
| I-am-Groot | including the compressed ones? | 00:08 |
| TJ- | I-am-Groot: start off deleting the '.gz' compressed logs | 00:09 |
| I-am-Groot | Okay | 00:09 |
| TJ- | You can also remove kern.log.1, ufw.log.1, syslog.1 | 00:10 |
| TJ- | I-am-Groot: then you need to stop UFW spamming the logs with so many messages | 00:10 |
| I-am-Groot | OOokay... But how? | 00:11 |
| I-am-Groot | Any command i could use? | 00:11 |
| TJ- | I-am-Groot: "sudo rm /var/log/*.gz" then "sudo rm /var/log/{syslog,kern.log,ufw.log}.1" | 00:12 |
| I-am-Groot | Also, can i delete .gz files in sub directories under /var/log? | 00:12 |
| I-am-Groot | ookay | 00:12 |
| TJ- | I-am-Groot: if you stop UFW spamming the logs won't be taking up too much space in future | 00:13 |
| I-am-Groot | Done with the commands | 00:13 |
| I-am-Groot | Yes Sir | 00:13 |
| TJ- | I-am-Groot: "du -hs /var/log/" | 00:13 |
| I-am-Groot | 488M/var/log/ | 00:14 |
| TJ- | I-am-Groot: A nice improvement | 00:14 |
| I-am-Groot | Yea | 00:14 |
| I-am-Groot | But there are still .gz files in sub dir in the log folder | 00:15 |
| I-am-Groot | like /var/log/upstart | 00:15 |
| I-am-Groot | it has .gz files in it | 00:15 |
| TJ- | I-am-Groot: Don't worry about those. they hardly take space. Your problem is the logs that take UFW messages, which are ufw.log kern.log and syslog. Those are the in-use log files which you cannot delete, so you first stop UFW spamming them, then wait until log-rotate moves those to become .1 files... at that point you can delete the .1 files and the in-use logs won't grow stupidly | 00:16 |
| I-am-Groot | Okay | 00:17 |
| I-am-Groot | Thank you | 00:17 |
| I-am-Groot | But how do i reduce the amount of data UFW logs? | 00:17 |
| I-am-Groot | any command ? | 00:17 |
| TJ- | I-am-Groot: currently those 3 combined use 218MB + 217MB + 63MB | 00:17 |
| TJ- | I-am-Groot: I don't use ufw, but I assume there is a GUI control for it, maybe in system preferences | 00:18 |
| I-am-Groot | oookay | 00:18 |
| artisan_pickle | gufw | 00:18 |
| TJ- | I-am-Groot: The package and the executable (if there is no preferences icon for the UFW): gufw: /usr/bin/gufw | 00:19 |
| I-am-Groot | OOh i think i found it | 00:19 |
| artisan_pickle | by default logging is set to low already | 00:19 |
| OerHeks | gufw appears in systemsettings | 00:19 |
| I-am-Groot | and logging was indeed set to full | 00:20 |
| I-am-Groot | Should i set it to low or turn it off completely | 00:20 |
| I-am-Groot | Nevermind, i turned it off | 00:21 |
| I-am-Groot | I hope i can just delete the android studio installation files without any problems right? | 00:22 |
| TJ- | I-am-Groot: Now you can force the rotation of the logs: "sudo logrotate --force /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog" | 00:23 |
| I-am-Groot | Okay | 00:23 |
| TJ- | I-am-Groot: That *should* work... check with "ls -lSr /var/log/" afterwards. If it worked, delete those 3 large .1 files | 00:24 |
| I-am-Groot | I think it worked http://paste.ubuntu.com/12268969/ | 00:24 |
| I-am-Groot | errrmmm i think it didnt | 00:25 |
| TJ- | I-am-Groot: No... the kern.log ufw.log and syslog are all still taking masses of space | 00:25 |
| I-am-Groot | yea | 00:26 |
| TJ- | did the 'logrotate' command give any feedback? | 00:26 |
| I-am-Groot | yes | 00:26 |
| I-am-Groot | lots of feedback | 00:26 |
| I-am-Groot | and i am unable to pastebinit it | 00:27 |
| I-am-Groot | How do i make the pastebinit send error messages? | 00:27 |
| TJ- | I-am-Groot: of the form " error: skipping "/var/log/syslog" ...."? | 00:27 |
| I-am-Groot | Exactly | 00:28 |
| I-am-Groot | thats what am getting here | 00:28 |
| TJ- | I-am-Groot: OK, my fault. | 00:28 |
| TJ- | I-am-Groot: "sudo logrotate --force /etc/logrotate.conf /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog" | 00:29 |
| I-am-Groot | another error | 00:29 |
| I-am-Groot | error: /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog:1 duplicate log entry for /var/log/syslog | 00:29 |
| TJ- | I-am-Groot: that's expected. Check the directory now: "ls -lSr /var/log/" | 00:30 |
| I-am-Groot | Output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12269005/ | 00:31 |
| TJ- | I-am-Groot: you can see it worked now, so you can delete those big files: "sudo rm /var/log/{syslog,kern.log,ufw.log}.1" | 00:31 |
| I-am-Groot | ook | 00:31 |
| TJ- | I-am-Groot: Then check disk usage again with "sudo du -hs /var/log" | 00:32 |
| I-am-Groot | command is still running | 00:33 |
| I-am-Groot | here ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/12269037/ | 00:36 |
| I-am-Groot | Wow... | 00:37 |
| TJ- | I-am-Groot: So, from 3.7GB to 7.1MB :) | 00:37 |
| I-am-Groot | Yea :) | 00:37 |
| I-am-Groot | Thank you very much | 00:37 |
| I-am-Groot | I will try updating Ubuntu since it overwrites the files | 00:38 |

| BenShepherd | Hello im wondering if anyone can give me some assistance regarding a mail problem i'm having. not a super experienced linux user | 00:40 |
| TJ- | I-am-Groot: "sudo apt full-upgrade" (or "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade") will only upgrade the packages in the current release. To change releases you have to use "do-release-upgrade" (e.g. to go from 14.04 to 14.10) ) | 00:40 |

| ericklagos | (external drive) | 00:50 |
| ericklagos | :( | 00:50 |
| ericklagos | try Gparted | 00:50 |
| I-am-Groot | Just connect the drive, and launch the disks program | 00:51 |
| I-am-Groot | from there, u can format, partition mount and umount | 00:51 |
| Walkerdine | how would I do it on command line | 00:51 |
| I-am-Groot | or Gparted | 00:51 |
| ericklagos | yeap | 00:51 |
| I-am-Groot | errmm that would be a problem... | 00:52 |
| I-am-Groot | You have to ask TJ | 00:52 |

| ubottu | Rad-: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 00:58 |

| Jordan_U | AndroidHacker: /var/log/syslog or for Ubuntu 15.04 you can "journalctl --boot" to show all logs since booting. | 02:16 |
| AndroidHacker | thanks | 02:16 |
| Jordan_U | AndroidHacker: You're welcome. | 02:17 |
| Jordan_U | AndroidHacker: "systemctl --failed" will just list failed units/services. | 02:19 |

| wileee | burk_20, this is the web page, https://launchpad.net/~ethereum/+archive/ubuntu/ethereum | 04:10 |
| DalekSec | wileee: Missed the -qt | 04:10 |
| burk_20 | DalekSec, wileee , I get the following output for "file /usr/bin/add-apt-repository" | 04:17 |
| burk_20 | /usr/bin/add-apt-repository: Python script, ASCII text executable | 04:17 |
| burk_20 | DalekSec, here is the output of " sudo apt-get --reinstall install software-properties-common" -> http://pastebin.com/2ZefE1J7 | 04:18 |
| DalekSec | ...That's..Fun. | 04:19 |
| wileee | burk_20, Thw eb page tells you how to add the repo, a key us added, you update and install what is needed. | 04:20 |
| Slade | so my server took forever to boot and i see.. this in dmsg init: failsafe main process (527) killed by TERM signal .. how can i troubleshoot? | 04:20 |
| burk_20 | wileee, "thw eb page"? I dont understand from the log what I have to install | 04:22 |
| Slade | or is that a normal process? | 04:22 |
| burk_20 | wileee, the log has several errors but no idea what to do at this stage :-( | 04:22 |
| wileee | burk_20, what is your install info, a web page? | 04:23 |
| burk_20 | my install info? I want to install the following software: https://github.com/ethereum/cpp-ethereum/wiki/Installing%20Clients | 04:24 |
| wileee | burk_20, Were you able to load the ppa? That seems to be the first issue. Using your link. | 04:26 |
| burk_20 | wileee, load the ppa? two weeks ago I could install it, but now I am not able to execute it anymore. What do I have to do to load the ppa? | 04:29 |
| wileee | burk_20, I can't follow you in any way, you're lost in several ways, sorry. | 04:29 |
| DalekSec | wileee: Really, it sounds like his python is broken and he needs to reinstall it. | 04:30 |

| DalekSec | No idea what he could have done to be in this situation. | 04:30 |

| burk_20 | $ which py3clean | 04:37 |
| burk_20 | /usr/bin/py3clean | 04:37 |
| DalekSec | TJ-: No, vivid still has 2 as default. | 04:38 |

| TJ- | DalekSec: with software-properties-common in a broken state, I doubt that'll run | 05:00 |
| DalekSec | TJ-: ...It's apt, much lower level. It's not python3. If anything, since from Debian, it'd be perl. :P | 05:00 |

| cfhowlett | happy2help! chris__ | 09:07 |
| hateball | jwhwv: you set umask per mount-point, so you'll likely have to run a cron-job that chmods. at least I do not know of any other way | 09:10 |
| jwhwv | hateball: Hmm, any major security risk I run by setting the entire filesystem as executable then? | 09:10 |
| jwhwv | I'm learning to program, so its annoying to have to chmod every time I make a script. | 09:11 |
| hateball | You really do not want every file to be set +x, no | 09:11 |
| jwhwv | hateball: I figured, but thought I'd ask. hehe. Cronjob it is. | 09:12 |
| hateball | jwhwv: well you could use an alias or something | 09:12 |
| hateball | jwhwv: so that you launch for instance "nano newfile.sh && chmod +x newfile.sh" | 09:13 |

| I-am-Groot | Hello, Yesterday, i complained about my ubuntu 14 crashing and it turned out to be a kernel panic. I was asked to boot from an older kernel which seemed to fix the problem. But the whole freeze just happened again this morning | 09:59 |
| MrSpock | acosonic: 1. it is not very good at all 2. it is a huge security risk, it contains more holes than a swiss cheese | 09:59 |
| lelzxor | :D | 09:59 |
| jdrab | acosonic: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebMin | 10:00 |
| acosonic | MrSpock: what do you recommend instead? | 10:00 |
| MrSpock | acosonic: plain old ssh | 10:00 |
| I-am-Groot | here is my dmesg... http://paste.ubuntu.com/12271870/ | 10:00 |
| k1l_ | !webmin | acosonic | 10:00 |
| ubottu | acosonic: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 10:00 |
| MrSpock | it is sad how many XSS exploits there have been for webmin | 10:01 |
| MrSpock | seriously, XSS is trivial to avoid | 10:01 |
| acosonic | I don't know I run over 150 servers on it, never had a signle problem | 10:01 |
| acosonic | with ubuntu 14.04 | 10:01 |
| MrSpock | acosonic: ignorance is not bliss :p | 10:01 |
| jdrab | MrSpock: and now they include "file manager" by default .. :) | 10:01 |
| acosonic | yeah, but you are assuming all users are Linux pro's I have dosen of shared-hosting users who can't even understand cpanel or webmin... | 10:02 |

| neglesaks | ? I'm on 14.10. I have the update engine set to offer update to any new release, but I have had no notificatiosn whatsoever of the upgrade to 15.04. Any advice? | 10:03 |
| MrSpock | acosonic: then you do it like eg linode, and write/provide good documentation | 10:03 |

| acosonic | MrSpock: my biggest security problem was drupal/wordpress ... Ever... And some Solr crap but I didn't submit Solr report anywhere | 10:05 |

| MrSpock | JustMozzy: as I said, read the logs | 10:08 |

| JustMozzy | MrSpock: sorry, I didnt get the message before. Got kicked out again ;) which logs should I have a look at? | 10:09 |
| I-am-Groot | JustMozzy: When did your problem start? | 10:09 |
| MrSpock | acosonic: "instead of fixing the original function, lets just add another!" | 10:09 |

| MrSpock | gulzar: you should use /src | 10:11 |

| MrSpock | srv* dammit | 10:11 |
| I-am-Groot | Yesterday, the system crashed and the capslock light begun to flush | 10:11 |

| JustMozzy | MrSpock: here is the journalctl output http://pastebin.ca/3151840 | 10:11 |
| MrSpock | I-am-Groot: sounds like a kernel panic | 10:11 |
| gulzar | MrSpock: /srv is empty | 10:11 |
| gulzar | MrSpock: I never used this dir | 10:12 |
| I-am-Groot | Yea... But why? | 10:12 |
| MrSpock | gulzar: becuse you didn't use it | 10:12 |
| I-am-Groot | It was working Okay. | 10:12 |
| gulzar | MrSpock: so I have to configure apache/php to use this dir? | 10:12 |
| MrSpock | gulzar: man -P "less -p /srv" hier | 10:12 |
| JustMozzy | MrSpock: and here my Xorg log http://pastebin.ca/3151841 | 10:12 |
| MrSpock | gulzar: sadly many distroes, including ubuntu, totally ignores the FHS when it comes to where to host stuff from :( | 10:12 |
| I-am-Groot | It just crashed again this morning and this time around, the caps lock light didnt flicker but i still couldnt get it to respond | 10:13 |
| MrSpock | gulzar: so yes, if you want to use it you have to poke the configs a bit | 10:13 |
| gulzar | MrSpock: so I can edit files easily from /srv ? | 10:13 |
| MrSpock | gulzar: if you set up the permissions, yes | 10:13 |
| MrSpock | gulzar: don't put stuff directly in /srv, btw, use /srv/http/ etc | 10:13 |
| I-am-Groot | I have done some research and i am trying to get kernel crash dumps by using this https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/kernel-crash-dump.html | 10:14 |
| gulzar | MrSpock: Ok | 10:14 |
| MrSpock | /srv/http/somesite or similar | 10:14 |
| MrSpock | gulzar: for permissions: create groups and add the user that is suposed to edit the site into said group, and give the group rwx access to the site dir | 10:14 |
| MrSpock | gulzar: or better, use ACL | 10:14 |
| MrSpock | (ACL lets you have more fine tuned control) | 10:15 |
| gulzar | MrSpock: So much configs. my code is hardly 100 lines. | 10:15 |
| gulzar | MrSpock: what about public_html ? | 10:15 |
| MrSpock | gulzar: apache/php is a big hassle to set up indeed | 10:16 |
| MrSpock | even when just using mod_php | 10:16 |
| MrSpock | gulzar: I'm not really a big fan of public_html from $HOME | 10:16 |
| gulzar | MrSpock: I need php only to execute my Python code. else I don't need php | 10:17 |
| MrSpock | gulzar: that makes no sense at all | 10:17 |
| MrSpock | why use php at all then? | 10:17 |

| JackAttack | python-gnome2 python-keybinder python-pyorbit | 10:18 |
| gulzar | MrSpock: I have python scripts to be called depending on user input. But these scripts cannot be called directly from HTML. I need webserver, django/flask or php to call python | 10:18 |
| MrSpock | just use uwsgi, optionally with nginx or apache in front for caching etc | 10:18 |
| JackAttack | autoclean | 10:18 |
| MrSpock | gulzar: sure, but why go for php? | 10:18 |
| neglesaks | ? I'm on 14.10. I have the update engine set to offer update to any new release, but I have had no notificatiosn whatsoever of the upgrade to 15.04. Any advice? | 10:18 |
| JackAttack | sound imprtant | 10:18 |
| gulzar | MrSpock: anyother way? I am beginner in web development | 10:18 |
| MrSpock | gulzar: python ofcourse | 10:18 |
| JackAttack | nvm | 10:18 |
| JackAttack | brb | 10:18 |
| MrSpock | easier and safer | 10:19 |
| JackAttack | y | 10:19 |
| hateball | neglesaks: you can run "sudo apt-get update && sudo do-release-upgrade" in a terminal, see if that works better | 10:19 |
| gulzar | MrSpock: but how to call python from html ? I know I can create pages with python but that is not the purpose. .html page is one, it calls ptyhon scripts and show output | 10:19 |
| neglesaks | i did try one of those, but i'll try that again and see what happens. thnaks | 10:19 |
| MrSpock | gulzar: you don't | 10:20 |
| MrSpock | gulzar: you have python generate the html | 10:20 |
| MrSpock | gulzar: eg using django, flask, cherrypy | 10:20 |
| MrSpock | asuming you want/need a dynamic site | 10:20 |
| neglesaks | hateball, this is what I gwt: Reading package lists... Done --- Checking for a new Ubuntu release---No new release found | 10:21 |
| MrSpock | gulzar: http://cherrypy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorials.html | 10:21 |
| neglesaks | SO, it apparently cant see any new releases | 10:21 |
| JustMozzy_ | damn it. got kicked again | 10:21 |
| gulzar | MrSpock: Yes, django or flask etc. then I have to learn new things just for one command. with php the whole code is "exec python3 script". I will think of django later. But the main problem is I can't edit files from /var or /srv. or else I need to edit apache/php config. whereever I go its tedious | 10:22 |
| === MattTS_ is now known as MattTS | ||
| MrSpock | gulzar: you don't need php for that | 10:22 |
| MrSpock | and php/apache is much more of a hassle to set up than uwsgi or similar | 10:23 |
| gulzar | MrSpock: Ok let's try | 10:23 |
| gulzar | MrSpock: what's your pick? django or flask | 10:23 |
| MrSpock | gulzar: depends on the use | 10:23 |
| JustMozzy_ | MrSpock: any thoughts on the logs? | 10:23 |
| MrSpock | JustMozzy_: use a sane pastebin like bpaste.net or gist.github.com | 10:23 |
| MrSpock | gulzar: in most cases I would use cherrypy | 10:24 |
| gulzar | MrSpock: mine is , take input file, run python on it and run another tool in perl. Show image as output | 10:24 |
| gulzar | MrSpock: this much simple is my deign. with php its two exec. that's why I thought of that | 10:24 |
| MrSpock | gulzar: that doesn't say anything about the actual use, if this is going to be served to 20 million people at once, or just on your fridge | 10:25 |
| gulzar | MrSpock: Oh, yes to thousands atleast | 10:25 |
| MrSpock | how dynamic is the data? | 10:25 |
| MrSpock | does it have to be regenned for every view? | 10:26 |
| MrSpock | if not: just generate it every 10 sec or whatever and then serve it as a static file | 10:26 |
| MrSpock | *much* better performance | 10:26 |
| MrSpock | or do heavy caching | 10:26 |
| gulzar | MrSpock: yes, for evey input all the steps needs to be executed again | 10:27 |
| gulzar | MrSpock: depending on input the scripts are different but steps are same | 10:27 |
| === omnik5570 is now known as omnik5569 | ||

| sachin_a | after hearing some words from Richard Stallman regarding ubuntu's spyware, I am planning to search an alternative | 11:45 |
| === kyle_ is now known as Guest52494 | ||
| cfhowlett | sachin_a, you came to ubuntu to ask about alternatives to ubuntu? strange. suggest you seek alternatives in ##linux | 11:45 |
| cfhowlett | sachin_a, also, ubuntu doesn't have spyware. RMS is free to disagree. | 11:46 |
| ropeadope | sachin, you can easily turn off the code R Stallman is referring to, which is remote content search | 11:47 |
| sachin_a | how? | 11:47 |
| k1l_ | sachin_a: system settings, privacy settings | 11:48 |
| ropeadope | gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Lenses remote-content-search none | 11:48 |

| marxS | how can I get rid of the background behind the text on the desktop icons (like this: http://cdn3.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/xfce-desktop-environment-installed-on-ubuntu-14.04.png ) so as it looks like these: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NSB573-XZyk/U8fRQDXJI4I/AAAAAAAATkk/AG04NPT_JbA/s1600/xfce-whiskermenu-panel-add.png | 11:52 |

| Tricks | Hi guys. I'm having a few problems with FQDN if anybody is available to help? | 12:00 |
| cfhowlett | !ask | Tricks | 12:01 |

| sardsurfer | hi, my tray icons in xubuntu aren't working anymore. What should I do? Thanks | 12:02 |
| cfhowlett | sardsurfer, you mean panel? | 12:02 |
| sardsurfer | yep | 12:02 |
| cfhowlett | sardsurfer, logout/login. also see if they launch in your guest account | 12:02 |
| sardsurfer | logout/login doesn't work. I will try to launch a guest account. brb, thanks | 12:03 |
| sardsurfer | back. Guest is working pretty good | 12:05 |
| Tricks | Ok, I have setup my box with fqdn of test.example.zone.internal. hostname returns test and hostname -f returns test.example.zone.internal. That's all great and as expected. I've set search in resolvconf to example.zone.internal. Problem is when I try and ping another machine by it's hostname database, for instance, it doesn't resolve. However if I type the full name database.example.zone.internal it does resolve? | 12:05 |
| cfhowlett | sardsurfer, pretty good = proper panels | 12:07 |
| cfhowlett | ? | 12:07 |
| sardsurfer | yep | 12:07 |
| sardsurfer | using guest i can minimize to tray | 12:07 |
| MonkeyDust | Tricks sounds more for ##networking | 12:08 |
| cfhowlett | sardsurfer, so it's not a system problem, but something user specific. Don't know exactly what's wrong but I do know how to fix it. | 12:08 |
| sardsurfer | sounds good. what should i do? | 12:08 |
| marxS | for this: https://odoepner.wordpress.com/2013/07/12/transparent-background-for-xfce-desktop-icon-texts/ where would such a file ~/.gtkrc-2.0 be located? | 12:08 |

| Aqui1a | Hello. I've been trying to configure my mouse buttons on my Logitech G500. I followed some instructions that I found on the Ubuntu wiki, but they didn't work for me. Could anyone help me with this? | 12:09 |
| cfhowlett | sardsurfer, delete /home/.config/xfce4 then logout/login note: this will nuke all xfce4 settings back to their factory fresh defaults; desktop/terminal/panel settings | 12:10 |
| sardsurfer | chfhowlett, ok. brb | 12:11 |

| ActionParsnip | oaulakh: and an Intel GPU as well? | 13:28 |
| oaulakh | it didn't show any intel | 13:28 |
| oaulakh | let me show u | 13:29 |
| RyanB | UIbottu That's kinda of what I was looking! | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip | oaulakh: ok, have you tried: sudo apt-get --reinstall install dkms | 13:29 |
| RyanB | PPA's allow you to install software otuside of the Software Center...Ah! | 13:29 |
| oaulakh | but for what? | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip | oaulakh: use a pastebin if you want to share lots of text please | 13:29 |
| oaulakh | ok | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip | RyanB: if there is a PPA with what you desire, yes | 13:30 |
| MonkeyDust | RyanB yes, but in your enthousiasm: don't use too many ppa's... | 13:30 |
| oaulakh | http://paste.ubuntu.com/12273103/ | 13:30 |
| RyanB | Why whats wrong with have alot of PPA's slow down update/upgrade ? | 13:31 |
| oaulakh | ActionParsnip, and install dkms too now | 13:31 |
| RyanB | Where are good palce to search for software and it tells u the PPA ? | 13:31 |
| RyanB | places* | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | oaulakh: you are using the nouveau (open source) driver. Did you install the proprietary video driver? | 13:32 |

| ActionParsnip | RyanB: or in duckduckgo you can use the !ppa bang :) | 13:32 |
| oaulakh | ActionParsnip, but how? | 13:33 |
| ActionParsnip | oaulakh: its a question, did you install the proprietary video driver, or not? | 13:33 |
| livcd | so how do i change dns permanently in ubuntu ? | 13:33 |
| oaulakh | no | 13:33 |
| ActionParsnip | livcd: I use the /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head file its hacky but works | 13:34 |
| livcd | ActionParsnip: is not it base instead of head ? | 13:34 |
| MonkeyDust | livcd yes, i use base... guess both work | 13:35 |
| ActionParsnip | livcd: head is the text that adds the "dont change this file" text to /etc/resolv.conf so if you add text to that it will be added before anything you recieve from DHCP :) | 13:35 |
| livcd | oh | 13:35 |
| MonkeyDust | ActionParsnip you're a geek | 13:35 |
| ActionParsnip | oaulakh: you can use the additional drivers application and install the proprietary driver. If you reboot and hold SHIFT, you can boot to an older kernel. Is it ok there? | 13:36 |
| ActionParsnip | MonkeyDust: indeed | 13:36 |
| ActionParsnip | MonkeyDust: off on a Solaris course all next week in London | 13:36 |
| MonkeyDust | livcd after modyfying and saving base (or head), do this... sudo resolvconf -u | 13:37 |
| livcd | i have tried to modify base | 13:37 |
| livcd | but it appends the stuff | 13:37 |
| livcd | so i end up with search Inteno localhost | 13:37 |
| ActionParsnip | livcd: conventionally, you can use network manager to configure all this too but I find that stuff frustrating | 13:38 |
| ActionParsnip | livcd: you can add the lines like this: echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee -a /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head > /dev/null | 13:38 |
| RyanB | Thanks for your help everyone! | 13:40 |
| livcd | ActionParsnip: right but that still would have the same effect | 13:40 |
| ActionParsnip | livcd: reboot and try it :) | 13:40 |

| funkt_ | as soon as i try sudo mount /dev/sda1/mnt it says cant find /dev/sda1/mnt in etc/fstab or etc/mtab | 13:54 |
| h4k1m | I have trouble to use graphical mode on an Amazon EC2 instance running Ubuntu 14 | 13:54 |
| h4k1m | I suspecting that driver for "Cirrus Logic GD 5446" are not installed | 13:54 |
| funkt_ | same with sda | 13:54 |
| sachin_a | is there a forum for ubuntu-gnome? | 13:55 |
| h4k1m | is there a way to check if the correct drivers are installed? | 13:55 |
| === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant | ||
| funkt_ | do you think if i reinstall ubuntu woudl it correct the grub loader and mbr?# | 13:56 |
| ActionParsnip | h4k1m: if you run: sudo lshw -C display do you see 'unclaimed' ? | 13:56 |
| h4k1m | ActionParsnip: yes | 13:57 |
| zetheroo | as far as I know fstab is for mounting on a system-wide level, but is there a way to have user-specific mounts configured so that when User A logs in certain mounts are mounted, and when User B logs in other mounts are mounted? | 13:57 |
| BluesKaj | funkt_, try boot repair http://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/ , if you can acces the 'net from a different pc or partition/OS | 13:57 |
| ActionParsnip | funkt_: you didnt specify the mount point. You would run: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt | 13:57 |
| h4k1m | ActionParsnip: does it mean that I need to install the driver? | 13:58 |
| technocf | Should I wait until it's offical before upgrading to 15.10, or will it be stable enough right now? Also, if I was to install it now, when it comes out, would I get all the updates that would make it the full release? | 13:58 |
| funkt_ | Hi actionparsnip Thats what I have tried | 13:59 |
| funkt_ | sudo mount /dev/sda1/mnt | 13:59 |
| funkt_ | sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt | 13:59 |
| ActionParsnip | h4k1m: it means that udev didnt pick up the device and is loading the failsafe driver. If you can find a driver for it then great | 14:01 |
| technocf | There will be the upgrade option in 15.04 when the release is offical, am I correct? Does it appear right away when the release comes out? | 14:01 |
| zykotick9 | !final | technocf | 14:01 |
| ubottu | technocf: If you install a development version of Ubuntu wily and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 15.10 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. | 14:01 |
| h4k1m | ActionParsnip: thanks it's getting clearer now | 14:01 |
| ActionParsnip | funkt_: ok, then mount the other folders in the mounted file system as the guides say | 14:01 |
| h4k1m | I will check if it's possible to change the vga card (on the cloud) | 14:01 |
| technocf | ubottu: Is it going to be stable as of Beta 1? | 14:02 |
| ubottu | technocf: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 14:02 |
| MonkeyDust | technocf wily isn't released yet... | 14:02 |
| ActionParsnip | funkt_: the fact that you are asking this sort of thing leads me to think that you werent following the guides very closely | 14:02 |

| funkt_ | I have been I dont really know what im doing ive tried every poss way sda1 - 4 | 14:02 |
| funkt_ | ive tried boot repir mbr repair | 14:03 |
| EriC^^ | funkt_: what's the problem? | 14:03 |
| funkt_ | I have messed up my mbr and cannot boot into ubuntu and I have tried several articles already mentioned here but keep getting grub-install error:failed to get canonical path of '/cow' | 14:05 |
| funkt_ | cannot install grub | 14:05 |
| BluesKaj | funkt_, are you sure it's mbr and not UEFI boot ? | 14:06 |
| funkt_ | I dont know mate | 14:06 |
| funkt_ | Not a scooby how do i find that out? | 14:06 |
| BluesKaj | funkt_, how old is your pc? | 14:07 |
| funkt_ | maybe 6 years old? | 14:07 |
| * zykotick9 thinks the "canonical path of /cow" is suspicious... | 14:07 | |
| funkt_ | maybe more | 14:07 |
| BluesKaj | funkt_, if it's newer than 2010 then it most likely uses UEFI instead of BIOS | 14:07 |
| funkt_ | okie dokes so what does that mean? | 14:08 |
| BluesKaj | no mbr | 14:08 |
| === richard is now known as Guest91095 | ||

| funkt_ | actionparsnip what is that? thanks | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip | funkt_: really!!!? | 14:10 |
| EriC^^ | funkt_: you have to mount bind the virtual filesystems and then chroot and grub-install | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip | funkt_: dude, read the actual guide, there are more mounts to run | 14:10 |
| BluesKaj | what other OSs are on that pc? | 14:10 |
| EriC^^ | funkt_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip | funkt_: again, you are getting issues because you arent following the guides closely, or at all | 14:10 |

| MonkeyDust | !latest | pdc2 here's why | 14:42 |
| ubottu | pdc2 here's why: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 14:42 |

| delt | files in /etc/init don't seem to have an option for that | 16:31 |
| Seveas | delt: 'start on' specifies dependencies | 16:31 |

| delt | haha :D channel factory | 16:33 |
| Seveas | livcd: in the network applet next to the clock, go to 'edit connections', edit your connection, go to ipv4 settings, set it to 'dhcp (addresses only)' | 16:34 |
| livcd | Seveas: cli please | 16:34 |
| Seveas | livcd: do you use networkmanager or /etc/network/interfaces? | 16:35 |
| livcd | Seveas: /etc/network/interfaces | 16:35 |
| Seveas | iirc you can specify nameservers in there and they'll be copied to /etc/resolv.conf | 16:36 |
| livcd | Seveas: great but the ones that were set by vbox will still be there | 16:36 |
| Seveas | hmm, not sure what vbox has to do with that. but if you never want to change it again, edit /etc/resolv.conf to your liking and make it immutable (chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf) | 16:37 |
| livcd | i assume that would work | 16:37 |

| Red_ | hi, I have installed openjdk-7-jre (with ubuntu software center). Now i have a .jar file (minecraft) and want to use it. I have changed the permissions (+x). But in nautilus when i want ot open it, the archiv manager opens. I googled and found that under /usr/share/applications there should be a openjdk-7-java.desktop file. But there is nothing.

| tufedo | Fjorgynn, what release? Did you try #xubuntu? | 17:01 |
| Fjorgynn | tufedo: latest. Seems to be some sort of error with the headphone/speaker function | 17:01 |
| Fjorgynn | because when I activate the "headphone" (unmute) and raise the volume I can play songs in the speaker | 17:02 |
| Seveas | livcd: /etc/resolv.conf is what you need to edit | 17:02 |
| Fjorgynn | when I plug my headphones in and remove them I need to reenable it | 17:02 |
| Seveas | livcd: change it from a link to a file :) | 17:02 |
| livcd | Seveas: that's just a symlink pointing to a file i listed | 17:02 |
| livcd | Seveas: ah will that work ? | 17:02 |
| not_stark | RobBurkeOne: looks like an ALSA issue. I’d try removing and reinserting HDMI, maybe trying to change the audio output if you have a laptop | 17:03 |
| Seveas | yeah, the symlink trick is new (and imnsho stupid) | 17:03 |
| tufedo | Fjorgynn, compared to pulseaudio, alsa is more manual at times, try playing with alsamixer to set levels | 17:03 |
| baizon | Fjorgynn: http://xubuntugeek.blogspot.fi/2012/05/fix-adjust-sound-with-multimedia-keys.html | 17:03 |
| baizon | Fjorgynn: try this | 17:03 |
| livcd | Seveas: ok i am trying thx | 17:03 |
| tufedo | Fjorgynn, usually thats due to a quirk written into the driver | 17:04 |
| dzejms | How could I set escape to capslock but still be able to use it in i3 window manager | 17:05 |
| Fjorgynn | :/ | 17:05 |
| Fjorgynn | tufedo: problem is that it isn't even in my gui | 17:05 |
| RobBurkeOne | not_stark: I will try. The HDMI isn working actually. I am using bumblebee and my HDMI port is connected to my dedicated nvidia gpu. I use Bumblebee to turn the GPU off in order to save power, so I cannot use it most of the time | 17:05 |
| Gill | Hey guys quick question. I have an init.d script with options to run rsyslogd but when I change it and do a stop start the options arent being used. Can someone please help me figure out what im doing wong? | 17:06 |
| maxilla | nvm wrong channel | 17:06 |
| not_stark | RobBurkeOne: still, is your audio output by any chance set to HDMI? | 17:07 |
| RobBurkeOne | not_stark: well, in audio settings I see 4 HDMI /Displayport as outputs.. I set all of them to mute, and that stopped the problem | 17:10 |
| RobBurkeOne | not_stark: option No. 5 is my internal speakers which are my standard output. normally | 17:10 |

| stacks88 | I've got a ubuntu 14.04 box that i need to uprade the kernel on, so i ran apt-get update;apt-get upgrade;apt-get dist-upgrade and it installed 3.13.0-63-generic but in the process it said: Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 3.13.0-63-generic cannot be found. Please install the linux-headers-3.13.0-63-generic package.. So i will run apt-get install linux-headers-3.13.0-63-generic but my | 17:11 |
| stacks88 | question is: Do I have to run something else after, before rebooting, to ensure everything goes smoothly, i.e update-grub ? and then anything else, or? | 17:11 |
| stacks88 | Just trying to ensure my machine comes back online, its a remote server | 17:11 |
| Seveas | stacks88: best way to ensure that is to have an out-of-band console. | 17:12 |
| stacks88 | what is that? like ipmi / kvm ? | 17:12 |
| Seveas | yeah | 17:12 |
| stacks88 | but in any case my question still stands, is there anything else i need to do? | 17:12 |
| Seveas | you may need to poke dkms after installing the headers (not sure if it's dkms prompting for them, but it's the only thing I can think of) | 17:13 |
| stacks88 | it did say | 17:13 |
| stacks88 | Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 3.13.0-63-generic cannot be found. | 17:13 |
| stacks88 | Please install the linux-headers-3.13.0-63-generic package, | 17:13 |
| stacks88 | or use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located | 17:13 |
| RobBurkeOne | I got another problem. I just created a supposed-to.be bootable usb flash drive with usb disk creator out of an kubuntu 15.10 daily image. The process was supposed to be successful but I still cannot boot from it. BIOS wise it should work. Did I forget something, do I have to do something aber creating the boot stick? | 17:14 |
| stacks88 | so i just installed linux-headers-3.13.0-63 linux-headers-3.13.0-63-generic and i dont see any message about dkms now | 17:14 |
| Seveas | stacks88: I'd also install the linux-headers-generic package so you get kernel header updates with apt-get dist-upgrade | 17:14 |
| Seveas | stacks88: can you pastebin the full output? | 17:14 |
| Seveas | of both commands | 17:14 |
| stacks88 | http://pastebin.com/A8ASExf9 | 17:15 |
| compdoc | stacks88, thats wrong | 17:15 |
| stacks88 | what is wrong? | 17:15 |
| compdoc | sudo apt-get update;apt-get dist-upgrade | 17:16 |
| bilaxos_ | hi | 17:16 |
| compdoc | no need for the 'apt-get upgrade' | 17:16 |
| Seveas | stacks88: I'd do an apt-get install --reinstall of the kernel packages. Other than that it should be fine. | 17:16 |
| bilaxos_ | is there anyone who use dell notebook ? | 17:16 |
| Fjorgynn | is there a way to change icons for libreoffice in buntu? | 17:17 |
| stacks88 | on another box, when running apt-get update, i am stuck on 100% [Waiting for headers] , what can i do to fix this? not sure why its happening | 17:20 |
| not_stark | Fjorgynn: https://smdavis.us/projects/menulibre/ looks like it does that. | 17:20 |

| delt | Hello | 17:38 |
| EriC^^ | hi | 17:38 |
| stacks88 | Seveas: when you said apt-get install --reinstall the kernel packages, right now i have linux-headers-3.13.0-63, linux-headers-3.13.0-63-generic, linux-image-3.13.0-63-generic, linux-image-extra-3.13.0-63-generic, linux-libc-dev:amd64 -- so how should i do it? Should i just run apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-3.13.0-63-generic or each one or should i run apt-get install --reinstall | 17:38 |
| stacks88 | linux-headers-3.13.0-63 linux-headers-3.13.0-63-generic linux-image-3.13.0-63-generic linux-image-extra-3.13.0-63-generic linux-libc-dev:amd64 | 17:38 |
| stacks88 | all in one* | 17:38 |
| delt | i'm trying to figure out why i get different look in xfce if i start it manually, vs. if mdm/lightdm starts it for me. | 17:38 |
| delt | uh... that got buried in a bunch of copypasta... here it is again -- | 17:39 |
| delt | i'm trying to figure out why i get different look in xfce if i start it manually, vs. if mdm/lightdm starts it for me. | 17:39 |
| genii | stacks88: Just use the generic names, then whatever kernel gets to be current will always be going to be installed. So packages named linux-image-generic linus-header-generic | 17:40 |
| genii | stacks88: Without specific kernel version | 17:40 |
| ioria | delt how do you start it manually ? | 17:40 |
| tgm4883 | delt: I would guess that if you look in lightdm, you've got both a xubuntu and an xfce environment | 17:40 |
| delt | and, why startxfce4 can't be started from /etc/rc.local (switching to the user account with su / sudo), while the exact same command works from a root login on a vt | 17:40 |
| delt | ioria: startxfce4 | 17:40 |
| delt | if i put this in my /etc/rc.local ---> su - user -c startxfce4 | 17:41 |
| EriC^^ | delt: /etc/rc.local doesn't have a display set, are you trying to auto-login? | 17:41 |
| delt | it says something like "user not allowed to start X server" or something | 17:41 |
| tgm4883 | yea why are you doing that? | 17:42 |
| delt | EriC^^: i want logout to drop me back to textmode vt | 17:42 |
| ioria | delt my guess is that you logged in the root session, but i could be wrong | 17:42 |
| delt | ioria: the "su - user " runs startxfce4 as user | 17:43 |
| meeret | +++ | 17:43 |
| meeret | #1# | 17:43 |

| ubottu | meeret: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use /join #test ) | 17:43 |
| ioria | delt are you sure ? | 17:43 |
| EriC^^ | delt: it'll take you to tty1 but you won't be logged in there yet | 17:43 |
| delt | EriC^^: then i'd still have the whole desktop manager running | 17:44 |
| EriC^^ | delt: logout using sudo service lightdm stop maybe | 17:44 |
| delt | EriC^^: i'm just not auto-starting an X login manager. | 17:44 |
| Seveas | stacks88: all in one will do | 17:44 |
| delt | EriC^^: BUT i just want to understand why "su - user -c startxfce4" from rc.local doesn't work | 17:45 |
| tgm4883 | delt: Is this a server, or are you trying to feel 1337 | 17:45 |
| EriC^^ | delt: it needs DISPLAY=:0 i'd guess | 17:45 |
| mayli | hi all, i have a command to dump disk to sparse file, but how to do the recovery? | 17:45 |
| delt | tgm4883: i've been using slackware since the mid 90's | 17:45 |
| EriC^^ | delt: but that's not a clean way to do what you want, you can use ~/.initrc to run X when you login to tty1 | 17:46 |
| delt | tgm4883: it's just the way i'm used to have things running | 17:46 |
| mayli | "cp --sparse=always <(dd if=/dev/sda1 bs=8M) /mount/external/backup/sda1.raw" <- what is the reversed version of this command? | 17:46 |
| EriC^^ | you can put in your ~/.profile , if tty is tty1 then source ~/.initrc to start X | 17:46 |
| tgm4883 | delt: so you want it to auto start xfce when you login, then when you logout of XFCE drop you to a shell? | 17:46 |

| stacks88 | so i notice when i run dpkg -l most of the packages have 'ii' in the beginning before the package name.. but one of them says 'hi' , anyone know what hi means? | 17:50 |
| stacks88 | or a link where i can read about what ii and hi mean etc. i know rc means like that its been removed but still some leftover contents or something like that | 17:51 |
| tgm4883 | stacks88: there is a key at the top of the output.... | 17:51 |
| tgm4883 | stacks88: do 'dpkg -l <PACKAGENAME>' | 17:51 |
| dm_comp | tgm4883, thx. now how do i confirm that sdl == libsdl1.2debian - Simple DirectMedia Layer or can i assume this | 17:51 |
| stacks88 | oh so i guess hi means half installed, hm ok | 17:51 |
| dm_comp | it look like it :/ | 17:52 |

| binarydepth | I'm guessing you are looking for : dpkg -l libsdl1.2debian | 17:52 |

| PsychoX75 | hi guys. Got into some trouble with my Ubuntu machine. | 17:55 |
| * tgm4883 applauds dm_comp for checking unknown commands retreived from the internet before running them | 17:55 | |
| C0r3 | I have downloaded skype for ubuntu but haven't installed it in the conventional way. I have extracted it to a folder in my home directory and added the path to $PATH env variable. Now when I try to run it by typing `skype`, it is telling me that it is not a directory or file. Then I tried to make it executable using `chmod a+x skype`, but still I'm getting the same error! | 17:55 |
| dlam | wah for some reason my laptope wired "Ethernet Network" is always disconnected despte being plugged in, anyone know to check? | 17:55 |
| binarydepth | yep | 17:55 |
| lotuspsychje | !ask | PsychoX75 | 17:55 |
| ubottu | PsychoX75: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 17:55 |
| binarydepth | What if he make "man man" :P ? | 17:56 |
| PsychoX75 | All of a sudden my ubuntu LTS computer is not showing any GUI anymore when it's opening. I can see that the processes are running in the background when i telnetted to it. Samba share and everything else works. Except the Gui. Just a frozen cursor in the upper left corner. | 17:56 |
| lotuspsychje | PsychoX75: touched any uefi settings recently? | 17:56 |
| C0r3 | PsychoX75: May be, you have messed with lightdm. | 17:57 |
| tgm4883 | C0r3: why did you install it that way? | 17:57 |
| not_stark | C0r3: I assume you closed and reopened your terminal. Does “which skype” produce any output? | 17:57 |
| PsychoX75 | Not really. It had Kodi running. One day wife calls me telling me that Kodi froze up. I logged in, and restarted the server by just typing 'reboot', but it didn't come back. | 17:57 |
| C0r3 | tgm4883: I'm running irssi in the same way and it is working just fine. | 17:57 |
| not_stark | C0r3: ah, also, make sure you really did chmod the binary (chmod +x ./skype in the correct directory) | 17:58 |
| C0r3 | That way my pc doesn't look for any updates. | 17:58 |
| tgm4883 | C0r3: ah ok then. Skype should work the same way then.... | 17:58 |
| === peroht-away is now known as peroht | ||
| C0r3 | not_stark: Yes. Which skype gives me the path to the skype file. | 17:59 |
| not_stark | C0r3: what exact error message are you getting? | 17:59 |
| C0r3 | This is the error... bash: /home/c0r3/.app/skype/usr/bin/skype: No such file or directory | 18:00 |
| PsychoX75 | Is there a place where Ubuntu would be writing the error that it's getting to run the 'display driver' in graphical mode? (I hope i'm not talking nonsense here) | 18:00 |
| akik | PsychoX75: did you just say telnet when you meant to say ssh? | 18:00 |
| PsychoX75 | akik: yeah. I meant SSH. | 18:00 |
| not_stark | C0r3: can you execute the binary manually or does it give you the same error? | 18:00 |
| PsychoX75 | the server responds through remote ssh without a problem. Just no display. | 18:00 |
| C0r3 | not_stark: By executing binary manually you mean? | 18:01 |
| not_stark | PsychoX75: journald? | 18:01 |
| akik | PsychoX75: look for errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 18:01 |
| C0r3 | not_stark: I tried, ./skype in the folder but still the same error.. | 18:01 |
| PsychoX75 | ah... | 18:01 |
| not_stark | C0r3: that’s what I meant, yeah. Output of ls -l skype? | 18:01 |
| C0r3 | -rwxr-xr-x 1 c0r3 c0r3 35868448 May 22 2014 skype | 18:02 |
| akik | yea could also show something in journalctl output | 18:02 |
| PsychoX75 | where is the journald located? | 18:03 |
| PsychoX75 | i mean, how do i run or look inside it? | 18:03 |
| === _djbkd is now known as djbkd_ | ||
| not_stark | PsychoX75: it’s a command, run it. | 18:03 |
| not_stark | PsychoX75: wait, no, the command is journalctl | 18:03 |
| PsychoX75 | journalctl: command not found | 18:04 |
| PsychoX75 | journalctl: command not found | 18:04 |
| C0r3 | not_stark: When I see the properties of the file, it is of type shared library. | 18:04 |
| not_stark | PsychoX75: oh. are you on the LTS release? | 18:04 |
| PsychoX75 | uhuh | 18:04 |
| === djbkd_ is now known as djbkd | ||
| akik | PsychoX75: journalctl is available when on a systemd system. otherwise look into /var/log/syslog | 18:05 |
| not_stark | C0r3: wait. So it’s not complaining about the binary you’re trying to run manually, but something else? | 18:06 |
| C0r3 | not_stark: Yes! | 18:06 |
| C0r3 | not_stark: I think, it's not actually a binary file, rather it's a shared library which is located inside the /usr/bin/ directory. | 18:07 |
| PsychoX75 | By the way, there is a spot where you can tell Ubuntu (in the graphic environment) to start certain programs automatically when starting Ubuntu. Can you tell me where that file is located? Probable somewhere in the /home/[user] menu | 18:08 |
| not_stark | C0r3: I’m not sure what to suggest… can you run tree or du in your ~/.app/skype folder and pastebin the output? | 18:09 |
| === trabbit_ is now known as trabbit | ||
| not_stark | C0r3: or at least tell us if you do, in fact, have a ~/.app/skype/usr/bin folder? | 18:09 |
| akik | PsychoX75: i'm not using unity (or if you are) but this seems to provide the answer to you http://askubuntu.com/questions/459277/how-do-i-make-a-program-auto-start-everytime-i-log-in-in-ubuntu-14-04 | 18:10 |
| PsychoX75 | found it | 18:11 |
| PsychoX75 | thanks | 18:11 |
| not_stark | C0r3: also maybe run ldd ./skype, you might be missing a shared library | 18:11 |
| C0r3 | not_stark: http://pastebin.com/LeBGCE7D | 18:12 |
| C0r3 | not_stark: ldd says, 'not a dynamic executable'. | 18:13 |
| not_stark | C0r3: damn, I forgot du doesn’t list files. That would be du -a | 18:13 |
| C0r3 | not_stark: http://pastebin.com/KnwPV9m5 | 18:15 |
| not_stark | C0r3: well, I’m stumped. Anyone else want to try? | 18:16 |
| PsychoX75 | ok. I removed the xrandr.desktop file which i assumed might have been messing with my display driver. My next step will be to try to reinstall the Videocard driver. Hoping it might straighten anything wrong with the driver. | 18:17 |
| PsychoX75 | Assuming the driver is messing up. Reading the /var/log/syslog file didn't give a quick reference to something called 'display' | 18:18 |
| PsychoX75 | Unless you would happen to know what display related logs look like. | 18:18 |
| dunpeal | Hi. I have the default JRE installed on Ubuntu 14.04. How do I get javaws? | 18:19 |
| lotuspsychje | !java | dunpeal | 18:19 |
| ubottu | dunpeal: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 18:19 |

| dm_comp | tgm4883, binarydepth, i think i got this :). 2 more questions. first this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12275277/ why didn't dpkg work and second, is it normal for README to be so vague http://paste.ubuntu.com/12275312/ like line 11 "m (i.e. math libary)" <- i think it would be "math library" | 18:22 |
| dm_comp | s/would/should | 18:22 |
| dm_comp | tgm4883, binarydepth, oh thx by the way! | 18:23 |
| binarydepth | OK | 18:23 |
| binarydepth | DPKG installs an archive that you have locally | 18:24 |
| binarydepth | use apt-get instead | 18:24 |
| C0r3 | not_stark: Not finding a way.. Installing it using Ubuntu Software Center. | 18:24 |
| C0r3 | not_stark: I got the problem! | 18:25 |
| binarydepth | dm_comp do "aptitude search libsdl" and you'll see the packages in a list | 18:25 |
| binarydepth | I think you need to install aptitude | 18:25 |
| not_stark | dm_comp: or apt-cache search | 18:26 |
| stacks88 | when performing apt operations, is there anything wrong with: sudo -i , becoming root, then running apt-get update etc, and if so why? | 18:26 |
| akik | stacks88: no | 18:26 |
| C0r3 | not_stark: The file wasn't a standalone installer. When I tried to install it using Ubuntu Software Center, it started downloading the installation files. | 18:26 |
| not_stark | C0r3: wait, what? You downloaded the .deb and extracted its contents? | 18:27 |
| C0r3 | not_stark: Yes! | 18:27 |
| not_stark | C0r3: I thought… doesn’t Skype have a separate download for this kind of setup? | 18:27 |
| not_stark | C0r3: extracting .debs should, in fact, not work | 18:27 |
| dm_comp | binarydepth, not_stark, i get that. but look at the README (second link) | 18:28 |
| dm_comp | m library | 18:28 |
| C0r3 | not_stark: I'm using irssi in the same way. So I didn't wanted checking updates etc. so I thought to extract it and use it the same way. But it was not a offline installer. Hence the problems. | 18:28 |
| dm_comp | apt0cache search m | 18:28 |
| dm_comp | apt-cache search m ... think i would get a few results | 18:29 |
| binarydepth | Well I think that's just wrong but maybe there is actually an "m" library | 18:29 |
| binarydepth | libm | 18:29 |
| binarydepth | I don't see any libm libraries here | 18:30 |
| not_stark | dm_comp: I probably should have replied to the other guy, sorry. Yes, absurdly terse READMEs are something you sort of need to get used to with open source, and as far as I can tell libm is, in fact, a math library | 18:30 |
| dm_comp | http://paste.ubuntu.com/12275312/ . why question is how would you go about searching for the m library using apt-cache search m | 18:30 |
| PsychoX75 | yes. I got graphical environment again after removing the whole ATI driver. | 18:31 |
| PsychoX75 | Now to reinstall | 18:31 |
| not_stark | dm_comp: what are you trying to install? | 18:31 |
| MoPac | Hello -- I'm quite confused about something that has happened, I think related to installing some LXC-related management tools like virtd / virtual machine manager. At frequent intervals in normal desktop use (not running in or controlling any LXCs), and even with no ethernet plugged in, my network connection switches to "eth0". | 18:32 |
| MoPac | This kills all my external connectivity. But I see a server with a default apache2 page running at 169.254.9.25, whcih is listed as the IP of this eth0 connection. ifconfig shows this address/connection as an eth0-avahi associated with that local IP. I never intentionally set up any webserver, but of course sometimes those tools get installed with other packages. | 18:32 |
| MoPac | So I uninstall apache2, kill every process to do with avahi (including ordering the daemon to stop via /etc/init.d script). But a few minutes later, when I'm not even running my usual Unity DE but am actually logged into a minimal Steam one, my network drops again. I log back into Unity and, lo and behold, my machine has spawned an eth0-avahi connection to nowhere and an apache2 webserver! | 18:32 |
| dm_comp | not_stark: Tux, of Math Command or tuxmath well t4k_common it's a library (I'm doing this to learn) | 18:34 |
| not_stark | dm_comp: yeah, found it in the meantime - https://github.com/ComputerNerd/t4kcommon/blob/master/INSTALL | 18:34 |
| not_stark | dm_comp: I think it might be part of libc, take a look at http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libmath-libm-perl | 18:36 |
| not_stark | dm_comp: it’s a libm binding that only lists libc6 and perl as dependencies | 18:36 |
| not_stark | dm_comp: anyway, just try installing t4kcommon after you get a hold of the other deps and see if it works | 18:37 |
| dm_comp | not_stark, is that normal practice? | 18:37 |
| not_stark | dm_comp: what, having absurdly uninformative READMEs? Yeah. Oh, and you might have to install libc6-dev. | 18:38 |
| jwash | anyone here able to help me get znc starting as a service at reboot? i installed via the main ubuntu repo, made my conf, but znc won't start with the init.d script at http://wiki.znc.in/Running_ZNC_as_a_system_daemon#Create_the_init.d_Scripts | 18:38 |
| liquidee | hey guys. I'm trying to install 32 bit libsdl1.2-dev on a 64 bit ubuntu 15.04. I've added i386 architecture to dpkg and tried to install the 32 bit version but it complained about missing X and so on. I tried to install them all at once but when it finally accepted, 64 bit versions of some packages were about to be removed. Why is that? cant i have both 32 and 64? Please look at the pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12275485/ | 18:38 |

| t3chguy | on ubuntu 14LTS anyway | 19:03 |
| wileee | Kira, a usb does not have the data transfer speed an internal does is all. | 19:04 |
| stacks88 | I get emails all the time from ubuntu saying that there are linux kernel vulerabilities and it affects my 14.04 LTS. So of course i run apt-get update and dist-upgrade and install the new kernel. But each time i do this, i have to reboot the machine which means i have to power down my guest vms i run on there first.. it becomes a hassle. I'm being told that with newer linux kernel versions you | 19:04 |
| stacks88 | can patch the kernel live. Is this possible with ubuntu and the kernels that i get from apt-get ? or do i need to custom compile my own kernel to achieve this | 19:04 |
| Kira | wileee: ah right, well there in lies as my hdd on my mac is tiny and can't really use it.. well this will be a fail | 19:05 |
| ioria | Kira if you want run ubuntu from an external HD in the installation process (partition table) you have to select /dev/sdX for GRUB where X is your external | 19:05 |
| Kira | *lies a problem | 19:05 |
| Seveas | stacks88: there are some things in the kernel that can now be patched live, but ubuntu security updates are not done this way (and I don't even know if they can). If uptime is important for you, build an HA system, any single box should always be able to go down. | 19:05 |
| Fii | Hi, not actually using ubuntu but I figured that this could probably be applied to it also | 19:06 |
| Kira | ioria ok thanks for the info will have to have another go. Like i said never used linux before but would like to have a mess around with it | 19:06 |
| PsychoX75 | Well well | 19:07 |
| wileee | Fii, ubuntu support here, not general could if run in ubuntu, try ##linux | 19:07 |
| PsychoX75 | reinstalling the driver of ATI actually solved the problem | 19:07 |
| PsychoX75 | many thanks peeps | 19:07 |
| PsychoX75 | have a nice night. | 19:07 |
| PsychoX75 | Ubuntu FTW!!! | 19:07 |
| ioria | Kira for example your hd is /dev/sda and your live USB is /dev/sdb ... probably your external hd will be /dev/sdc ... then select /dev/sdc | 19:08 |
| Fii | Situation: installed crashplan headless, and it (by default) was backing up to /usr/local/var/crashplan/{guid}. After about 9 gigs I was getting a destination full error, and it turns out that I filled up my /dev/root partition. Moved it and deleted the partially complete backup, and now I have ~50% available again. | 19:08 |
| Kira | wileee: is using usb 3 going to make little difference to the speed of ubuntu on a external? | 19:08 |
| stacks88 | Seveas by HA system is that clustering? i'll have to loook into it, its new to me | 19:08 |
| Kira | i'm assuming it won't really help much | 19:08 |
| Fii | Anyway, main question is what all is "on" the /dev/root partition? I had always seen stuff installed to either /usr/local or /opt/ but wouldn't that fill it up super quickly? | 19:09 |
| Seveas | stacks88: that or deal with the occasional downtime. Also, make sure you properly read each ubuntu security notice. Maybe you're not even using the facility that's broken and you don't need to reboot :) | 19:09 |
| wileee | Kira, slightly, but in the end ubuntu is gonna be slow. Why don't you give the internal HD size and the external HD size so we can help maybe get an internal install | 19:09 |
| Fii | My /home (/dev/sda2) has the majority of my storage on it. Is it possible to move some of that to /usr/local or /opt, or should I start keeping everything in my home directory? | 19:09 |
| pitastrudl | thanks t3chguy, that worked | 19:10 |

| wileee | Fii, you are not using ubuntu as k in the OS's channel. | 19:10 |
| ioria | Kira np | 19:10 |
| Fii | Ubuntu has a different file structure? | 19:10 |
| Fii | ok sorry | 19:10 |
| not_stark | Fii: depends on what you’re storing on it, of course | 19:11 |
| Kira | wileee: external is 500gb internal is 125gb pretty much maxed out and was trying to avoid having 2 OS's on the drive | 19:11 |
| t3chguy | no problem pitastrudl | 19:11 |
| wileee | Fii, No you want results with no real info on another OS, this is ubuntu support only. | 19:11 |
| pitastrudl | t3chguy the reason i chose iredmail is the installer and becuase im not so savvy with linux, other options seemed quite time demanding to learn how to setup | 19:12 |
| wileee | Kira, Put some of the extras on the external and use the internal, that is the standard way, you can get usb flash that will hold all of it. | 19:12 |
| wileee | Kira, I would use a virtual before an external is all. | 19:13 |
| ioria | Kira yep, switch the disks | 19:13 |
| WhiteRoseX | hey | 19:13 |
| daytonb | Is anyone here using virtualbox 5? | 19:13 |
| WhiteRoseX | anybody knows where to get reliable proxy sockets? | 19:13 |
| wileee | daytonb, try an actual issue, there is a #vbox channel | 19:14 |
| Seveas | WhiteRoseX: what on earth is a 'reliable proxy socket'? | 19:14 |
| WhiteRoseX | ip and port | 19:14 |
| WhiteRoseX | that actually work | 19:14 |
| Kira | wileee: okies,may sound seriously noobish but by having that way would it cause any issues for my current OS in anyway? | 19:14 |
| daytonb | wileee: Yep no one there is answering any of my questions | 19:14 |
| rob__ | does anyone here use steam on ubuntu | 19:15 |
| stacks88 | Seveas do you know if ubuntu will have the whole no reboot kernel patching in the near future? It looks like in kernel 4.0 and on ubuntu 15.10 (according to some link im reading), it will be possible or maybe its already possible | 19:15 |
| rob__ | 64 bit | 19:15 |
| Seveas | WhiteRoseX: http://www.geosurf.com/ works for me, but that's not really ubuntu related | 19:15 |
| WhiteRoseX | thank you Seveas | 19:15 |
| wileee | Kira, A virtual would not, a dual boot if done right no general issue. In the end be backed up no matter what. Find a local who can help you maybe. Here people will give you advice without any real longterm context considered, I'm making sure you have some understanding is all. | 19:16 |

| regedit | wileee: being informed, i guess? | 19:25 |

| rumpy1 | akik: english version http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ | 19:43 |
| akik | so i can start multisystem from grub? | 19:44 |
| akik | or is it a replacement for grub? | 19:44 |
| wileee | akik, multisystem is a usb loader, you boot what you've loaded from it. You can also boot some iso's from your on board grub 2. You can also make a usb with grub that is a multibooter yourself. | 19:45 |

| nug700 | ugh seriously who's idea was it to add this sidebar thing and sacrifice usability to make it look "pretty" | 21:18 |
| Umeaboy | Hi! Is there an ETA on when the 4.2-kernel from MAINLINE will be released as an update in Ubuntu 15.04? | 21:20 |
| nug700 | Johnny_Linux: Do I have to install that over this to get that desktop or is there a way to install it into ubuntu? | 21:22 |
| Umeaboy | I two annoying issues at start up namely. | 21:22 |
| nug700 | (i mean do i have to install that over this ubuntu installatino) | 21:22 |
| Umeaboy | nug700: To install WHAT? | 21:23 |
| Umeaboy | I may be able to help. | 21:23 |
| Umeaboy | Looking for another DE? | 21:23 |
| nug700 | installing ubuntu mate desktop | 21:23 |
| Johnny_Linux | mate-desktop | 21:23 |
| Umeaboy | Install it. | 21:23 |
| Umeaboy | sudo apt-get install mate-desktop -y | 21:23 |
| Johnny_Linux | log out and log to it | 21:23 |
| nug700 | what does -y do? | 21:24 |
| Umeaboy | You have to choose it from the login screen thou. | 21:24 |
| nug700 | every time? | 21:24 |
| Umeaboy | nug700: Do automatically answer yes. | 21:24 |
| Johnny_Linux | no | 21:24 |
| Umeaboy | No. | 21:24 |
| nug700 | ah | 21:24 |
| Johnny_Linux | once you log to it, itl log naturally | 21:24 |
| Umeaboy | Johnny_Linux: Do you know the answer to my question perhaps? | 21:24 |
| Umeaboy | I know that there's a PPA to use, but that is unstable/testing releases AFAIK. | 21:25 |
| Johnny_Linux | 4.2 ??, i have no idea | 21:25 |
| Umeaboy | I may be wrong thou. | 21:25 |
| Johnny_Linux | not sure about a ppa yet | 21:25 |
| Umeaboy | OK. | 21:26 |
| Johnny_Linux | untill ubuntu compiles it for thier own use, i wouldnt use it | 21:26 |
| Umeaboy | Johnny_Linux: Well, I have a kernel issue that every now and then makes my computer unbootable. | 21:28 |
| Umeaboy | A driver issue. | 21:28 |
| Umeaboy | Nouveau. | 21:28 |
| Umeaboy | And YES I have installed nvidia-prime. | 21:28 |
| Johnny_Linux | what ubuntu version | 21:28 |
| Umeaboy | 15.04. | 21:28 |
| Johnny_Linux | i havent used anything beyond 12 yet, so, not sure i could help | 21:28 |
| Umeaboy | Sometimes boot works fine. | 21:28 |
| TJ- | Umeaboy: Linux v4.2 is in 15.10 now; you could always use those packages, or the Kernel Team's mainline PPA | 21:32 |
| Umeaboy | TJ-: But I thought that the Kernel Team's mainline PPA is for Testing purposes only. | 21:33 |
| nug700 | my gosh playing with themes really likes fucking with my monitor positions | 21:34 |
| MonkeyDust | nug700 mind your language | 21:34 |
| TJ- | Umeaboy: It's 'unsupported' if that's what you mean; but there's nothing wrong with using those kernels if they fix an issue. I've run with the current mainline kernel for several years. The only issues with it are the Ubuntu kernel bundles additional drivers that aren't in mainline yet, such as aufs | 21:34 |
| mrtakdeniz | hey there | 21:35 |
| genii | thms: Work needed me for a long time, back now. How goes the battle? | 21:35 |
| mrtakdeniz | is there any documentation for copy home folder to another directory and re-install ubuntu | 21:35 |
| mrtakdeniz | most of my apps is on home folder, so i think if i copy home folder i can reinstall system and back to work asap | 21:36 |
| mrtakdeniz | but not sure if I just copy/paste work | 21:36 |
| MonkeyDust | !backup | mrtakdeniz i guess you mean this | 21:37 |
| ubottu | mrtakdeniz i guess you mean this: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 21:37 |
| nug700 | is it really necessary to micromanage language? my gosh it's not like I'm using that language excessively. | 21:37 |
| genii | nug700: It's part of the policy of this channel. the aim is to keep it family-friendly. | 21:37 |
| TJ- | nug700: it's unnecessary; if you're frustrated hit your PC :D | 21:38 |
| nug700 | Sorry I just really hate excessive political correctness policies. It's becomeing the death of a lot of tech culture. | 21:39 |
| MonkeyDust | mrtakdeniz rsync is pretty fast and easy to use, like so: rsync -a --progress [folder] [from] [to] | 21:39 |
| nug700 | Anyway I can't get mate to show up in my themes | 21:39 |
| mrtakdeniz | MonkeyDust, i know but as I told, after format only rsync them or copy paste them works | 21:40 |
| mrtakdeniz | i'm checkin backup app of ubuntu as your link says | 21:40 |
| Bashing-om | mrtakdeniz: See : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving if that answers . | 21:41 |

| === someon is now known as someone | ||
| mrtakdeniz | yeah that was the answer bashing, i were installing always like that, but on new ssd i forget to do it :3 | 21:42 |
| mrtakdeniz | so i were asking actually is there a way to do it on working system, thank you so much | 21:42 |
| mrtakdeniz | Bashing-om, sorry wrong tag :P thank YOU. | 21:43 |
| Sohail-Ahmed | I have installed a recently released version of swig. Its installed in /usr/local/bin. Now when I execute a program, say, XYZ which requires swig, the log of XYZ does not show the recent version of swig. | 21:44 |
| yoma | Salut | 21:44 |
| Sohail-Ahmed | any help? | 21:44 |
| TJ- | Sohail-Ahmed: maybe bash has cached the old version in its hash map? | 21:45 |
| Sohail-Ahmed | Tj: thanks for respsonding, I did hash -d swig, but in vain | 21:45 |
| TJ- | Sohail-Ahmed: "which swig" and "hash -t swig" maybe help? | 21:47 |
| TJ- | Sohail-Ahmed: otherwise the programs you're using maybe encode the absolute path to the system swig ? | 21:47 |
| Sohail-Ahmed | hash -t swig returns swig not found and which swig returns /usr/local/bin/swig | 21:49 |
| Sohail-Ahmed | and your second statement passed over my head | 21:49 |
| TJ- | Sohail-Ahmed: The progams you're using must be using absolute path to swig then | 21:49 |
| Sohail-Ahmed | How can I achieve that | 21:49 |
| Sohail-Ahmed | ? | 21:49 |
| TJ- | Sohail-Ahmed: If the system installed it to "/usr/bin/swig" maybe those programs you're using are calling it by that absolute path, rather than asking for "swig" and allowing it to be found on the PATH | 21:50 |
| Sohail-Ahmed | TJ: I am sorry for being too noob, but what I understood is: If I have installed it to /usr/bin then I may not any problems. Correct?? | 21:52 |
| TJ- | Sohail-Ahmed: If you back-up the older system version of /usr/bin/swig and put your new version in its place, that should work | 21:53 |
| Sohail-Ahmed | TJ: How can I put my new version at /usr/bin?? | 21:54 |
| Sohail-Ahmed | TJ: I have figure this out. I would run ./configure --prefix /usr/bin. | 21:55 |
| Sohail-Ahmed | TJ: but how can I remove the previous version and the one at /usr/local/bin??? | 21:55 |
| TJ- | Sohail-Ahmed: You could do that; but if you install and over-write system files you're liable to cause the package manager to fail in complicated ways later | 21:56 |
| delt | Hello | 21:56 |
| TJ- | Sohail-Ahmed: If you did 'make install' there should be a 'make ununinstall' target too | 21:56 |
| delt | is the text console font embedded in the kernel? i'm examining the contents of the initrd and i can't find it... | 21:56 |
| mrtakdeniz | guys | 21:57 |
| Sohail-Ahmed | TJ: Ok. This would remove my recently installed version. But How should I remove my old version?? | 21:57 |
| mrtakdeniz | assume that i have only 30 gb for ubuntu, and want to use home directory as a partition | 21:57 |
| TJ- | Sohail-Ahmed: using the package-manager, if you're talking about the Archive version | 21:57 |
| mrtakdeniz | how much ubuntu base i mean / partition need to be? | 21:57 |
| mrtakdeniz | 20 base - 10 home enough? | 21:58 |
| Sohail-Ahmed | TJ: Thankyou very much !!!!! | 21:58 |
| TJ- | mrtakdeniz: It depends on how many packages you install; I find 8GB for /, and 6G for /var/ is good and I install a lot of packages for testing/building | 21:59 |
| === zoltan_ is now known as Guest75090 | ||
| mrtakdeniz | TJ-, are you web developer? | 21:59 |
| mrtakdeniz | why /var directory? | 21:59 |
| Bashing-om | mrtakdeniz: Depends on how "tight" you want to run . I tun real tight on a '/' of " /dev/sda1 4.7G 1.8G 2.7G 40% / " . | 22:00 |
| Bashing-om | tun/run* | 22:00 |
| mrtakdeniz | Bashing-om, i'm using simple development tools | 22:00 |
| === shroud is now known as Guest50512 | ||
| mrtakdeniz | which are on home such as phpstorm, webstorm, pycharm etc | 22:00 |
| mrtakdeniz | and some other packages like nginx, apache, php, mysql | 22:01 |
| mrtakdeniz | and utilities like filezilla, chrome, sql managers.. | 22:01 |
| mrtakdeniz | i have 1 tb free hdd | 22:01 |
| TJ- | mrtakdeniz: No. | 22:01 |
| mrtakdeniz | and 120 gb ssd but can only use 30 gb for ubuntu.. | 22:01 |
| mrtakdeniz | which files should i host on ssd? | 22:02 |
| mrtakdeniz | i mean install ubuntu on ssd and use home from hdd may be a bad idea? | 22:02 |
| Bashing-om | mrtakdeniz: I would suggest 15 gigs for '/' and 50 Gigs for /home . If this is a development machine, might be good yo have the /var partiton separate also . | 22:02 |
| TJ- | mrtakdeniz: /var/ stands for 'various' and it can grow uncontrollably due to /var/cache/ and /var/log/, amongst others, so putting it outside the root-fs stops it from causing severe issues if it runs out of space. | 22:02 |
| TJ- | mrtakdeniz: I use LVM so if file-system gets close to 100% I just 'lvextend -L +2G VG/LV-name && resizesfs /dev/VG/LV-name' and i've got more space | 22:03 |
| mrtakdeniz | oh, lvm is good? should i search it? TJ- | 22:03 |
| mrtakdeniz | Bashing-om, 50 Gigs or 5 Gigs? | 22:04 |
| mrtakdeniz | my current home is 4 GB | 22:04 |
| TJ- | !lvm | mrtakdeniz | 22:04 |
| ubottu | mrtakdeniz: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 22:04 |
| mrtakdeniz | oh my god TJ- | 22:05 |
| mrtakdeniz | it says i can extend my drive to other drive | 22:05 |
| delt | nm found it | 22:05 |
| Bashing-om | mrtakdeniz: Tradtionally /home will grow the most with what is added to the system ( persinal data !) . Mine " /dev/sda2 9.5G 2.5G 6.6G 28% /home " that serves my needs . | 22:05 |
| mrtakdeniz | so if i out of space on ssd, i can use hdd as a part of that? | 22:05 |
| mrtakdeniz | Bashing-om, yeah i'm so pathetic right know.. :\ | 22:06 |
| TJ- | mrtakdeniz: Yes. With LVM you assign drives/partitions as Physical Volumes (PVs). You add any number of PVs to a Volume Group (VG). You then allocate Logical Volumes (LVs) for individual file-systems. You can use snapshots, set up mirrored LVs, and many other nice things with LVM | 22:06 |
| mrtakdeniz | damn windows uses at least 30 gb for system.. | 22:06 |
| mrtakdeniz | TJ-, should i need the format whole disk for LVM? | 22:07 |
| mrtakdeniz | and one more question, my ubuntu is on sectors 0 to 30Gib on ssd | 22:08 |
| TJ- | mrtakdeniz: No... As I said, you can make any spare partition a PV, add that PV to the VG, and then use all the space on all the PVs in any way you want. The LV file-systems can spread over several PVs and you don't need to know about it | 22:08 |
| mrtakdeniz | and after that windows part starts.. If I resize windows part and get free space at the end of the ssd and mount there as /home, will there be any performance issue? | 22:08 |
| mrtakdeniz | TJ-, it seems good, i'll try it | 22:09 |
| TJ- | mrtakdeniz: no performance issues | 22:09 |
| mrtakdeniz | i mean [ubuntu_base][windows][home] | 22:10 |
| Brandon_X_Fox | hi there can someone please help me I am having issues getting my wifi working, I am using a Toshiba satellite c55-b5200 I have tried to unblock the wifi using the RFKILL command and so far nothing is working. | 22:10 |
| mrtakdeniz | ok TJ- thank you so much | 22:10 |
| TJ- | mrtakdeniz: Ubuntu/Linux will have Windows surrounded :) | 22:10 |
| mrtakdeniz | i want to remove this sh*tty system.. but games.. | 22:10 |
| mrtakdeniz | and radeon fglrx drivers :P | 22:10 |
| TJ- | Brandon_X_Fox: Join the queue! We've had many users with the same issue recently, due to buggy laptop BIOS/firmwares causing ACPI incompatibilities | 22:11 |
| Brandon_X_Fox | which queue? | 22:11 |
| TJ- | Brandon_X_Fox: typical symptom is, toggling the hardware RF Kill button actually only toggles the soft block | 22:12 |
| TJ- | Brandon_X_Fox: The queue of users needing to find a fix for it :) | 22:12 |
| Brandon_X_Fox | ok and also if it helps i'm currently running Ubuntu 15.04 the latest version. | 22:12 |
| mao | hi | 22:13 |
| Brandon_X_Fox | so there's pretty much nothing I can do about this it seems like it would be an easy fix. | 22:14 |
| TJ- | Brandon_X_Fox: unfortunately it's not caused by the OS, it's the way the firmware ACPI DSDT reacts to finding Linux. It disabled some functionality. The common workaround is to discover an ACPI OSI string that the laptop accepts to enable maximum functionality, and pass that on the kernel command-line so it can fool the firmware into thinking the OS is a Windows variant | 22:14 |
| Bashing-om | mrtakdeniz: If you do not learn LVM now, as a 1st time install it will take 3 or 4 (RE-)installs over a period of time until you have it just the way you want it . :) | 22:14 |
| Voyage | Hi | 22:15 |
| Voyage | Please see this and inform me what to select http://oi59.tinypic.com/2yl1g85.jpg | 22:15 |
| TJ- | Brandon_X_Fox: If your issue is the one I'm talking about, then acpi_osi="Windows XXXX" is the best chance of a fix, where "XXXX" is determined by inspecting the system's ACPI DSDT table. Common strings are "windows 2012" and "Windows 2009" | 22:15 |
| Brandon_X_Fox | and how would I do this i'm totally new to ubuntu | 22:15 |
| TJ- | Brandon_X_Fox: Hmmm... best thing to do would be confirm your issue is caused by what I'm talking about :) | 22:17 |
| Brandon_X_Fox | I have no idea even what to do | 22:17 |
| TJ- | Brandon_X_Fox: Open a terminal, do "rfkill list"... then press the hardware radio toggle key, and do "rfkill list" again. Pastebin the results of both commands so we can see them. | 22:17 |
| TJ- | !paste | Brandon_X_Fox | 22:17 |

| Voyage | Please see this and inform me what to select http://oi59.tinypic.com/2yl1g85.jpg | 22:20 |
| TJ- | Brandon_X_Fox: It could be simply that the 'special' keys for controlling the radio and media keys aren't known by the kernel. There is usually a 'platform' driver for each manufacturer that 'knows' the models and their special ways of reading the non-keyboard function keys | 22:20 |
| Bashing-om | !paste | Voyage | 22:22 |

| Brandon_X_Fox | i understand | 22:22 |
| Brandon_X_Fox | it just seems that I should be able to turn on the wifi some way or another | 22:22 |
| TJ- | Brandon_X_Fox: Let's see if it has the toshiba platform driver loaded: "lsmod | grep toshiba" | 22:23 |
| mrtakdeniz | i'm downloading the iso, i'll try to figure it out on installation part Bashing-om | 22:23 |

| Brandon_X_Fox | http://paste.ubuntu.com/12277146/ | 22:25 |
| Voyage | Bashing-om: its not a multiline text. its a snap | 22:26 |
| Brandon_X_Fox | I posted what occured on the ubuntu pastebin | 22:27 |
| allizom | Voyage: either the free one (currently selected) or the proprietary, recommended one. Can you get full resolution and acceptable performance with the free one? If not, you may want the proprietary one | 22:27 |
| TJ- | Brandon_X_Fox: That shows all the expected platform drivers are loaded... so I'm going to bet on the ACPI issue I described earlier. | 22:27 |
| BlueProtoman | How can I cache .deb packages to an arbitrary directory, and then reinstall them from that directory later? I need to do this for a CI system | 22:27 |
| Voyage | allizom: thanks | 22:28 |
| Brandon_X_Fox | so theres nothing I can do besides wait? | 22:28 |
| TJ- | Brandon_X_Fox: There is more diagnosis, and you can try some workarounds. | 22:28 |
| EriC^^ | BlueProtoman: man apt-get | 22:29 |
| Brandon_X_Fox | worst help ive ever receieved | 22:29 |
| Bashing-om | Voyage: I tried to look, And guess I fat fingered. Nvidia recommends the 340 version if ya want to go with a proprietary driver . | 22:30 |
| TJ- | Well! | 22:30 |
| dar---- | A USB wi-fi don-gal is a workaround for it | 22:30 |
| BlueProtoman | EriC^^: If I thought that would help me in a useful manner, I wouldn't have asked in here | 22:33 |
| EriC^^ | search for download, use dpkg -i .deb to install later, and be sure to grab the dependencies too | 22:33 |
| TJ- | BlueProtoman: apt-cacher-ng, or apt-mirror is probably waht you want | 22:34 |
| genii | TJ-: Another satisfied customer ... ;) | 22:34 |
| TJ- | genii: Aye... I was about to offer to decode the DSDT for him; I hope he enjoys sneaker-net :) | 22:35 |
| BlueProtoman | EriC^^: Can I do that with updates/upgrades as well? | 22:39 |
| EriC^^ | sure | 22:39 |
| BlueProtoman | How? I don't necessarily know in advance what packages need to be upgraded (I'm trying to update packages on a CI system because my project needs its dependencies up to date). | 22:40 |
| EriC^^ | BlueProtoman: can you run apt-get update on the system? | 22:41 |
| BlueProtoman | EriC^^: Yes. upgrade, too. However, the upgraded packages are not preserved between builds. There is a caching mechanism available, but it doesn't seem to support /var/cache/apt/archives (maybe because that needs root?) | 22:42 |
| BlueProtoman | EriC^^: So I want to save all the relevant packages in my home directory once, then just re-install them with each build | 22:43 |
| genii | BlueProtoman: To cache deb files in a different place than /var/cache/apt/archives , one of 2 ways... either use -o Dir::Cache="somepath/here" or else make a conf file containing Dir::Cache "var/cache/apt/"; and then call apt-get with -c=thatconffile | 22:43 |
| genii | ( changing the var/cache/apt in that file of course) | 22:44 |

| BlueProtoman | genii: "E: Unable to write to ~/deps/" | 22:50 |
| genii | BlueProtoman: you might need to manually make the subdirs there like archives and archives/partial | 22:51 |
| bprompt | hmm | 22:53 |
| BlueProtoman | genii: Nope. "E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. Action failed: sudo apt-get -y -o Dir::Cache="~/deps" upgrade" | 22:54 |
| bprompt | BlueProtoman: are you just trying to do an upgrade on that package and keep the .deb? because you could simply wipe everything on /var/cache/apt/archive and when done, copy the .deb files over | 22:54 |
| BlueProtoman | bprompt: I'm trying to cache .deb files on a CI system (Circle CI in this case); I can cache dependencies to any directory, but I can't seem to use /var/cache/apt/packages, so I'm trying to see if I can do so in a home directory instead | 22:55 |
| tim_6485 | Hi, guys please, is there a way so i can limit internet connexion on wifi users on my computer? since i use wired connexion. It lags as hell ! | 22:56 |
| genii | Hm, wish I knew more about Circle CI or whatever it is | 22:57 |
| EriC^^ | BlueProtoman: does it work without ::Dir ? that error looks like it can't read /var/lib/dpkg/status or so | 22:59 |
| EriC^^ | try without ::Dir and press no when it asks to confirm ( don't use the -y with it ) | 22:59 |
| BlueProtoman | EriC^^: No, actually, it doesn't; I just get a 100 error code, though, and have no idea what that actually means | 22:59 |
| BlueProtoman | EriC^^: I can't; no interaction | 22:59 |

| SupaYoshi | but the script keeps running, even with differnt users over ssh. | 23:19 |
| SupaYoshi | So Im trying to find how to disable it but cant find any idea/ | 23:19 |
| SupaYoshi | its not in crobta- not in sshd_config i believe | 23:20 |

| bisch | SupaYoshi, can you get to a shell prompt? | 23:21 |
| Umeaboy | Johnny_Linux: I added the PPA by the Canonical Kernel Team, but it didn't update to 4.1. | 23:21 |
| SupaYoshi | First, create a VERY SECURE root password for your RaspberryPi. | 23:21 |
| SupaYoshi | Anyone with your root password can discover ALL of your passwords. | 23:21 |
| Umeaboy | And don't type something easy. | 23:22 |
| SupaYoshi | http://prntscr.com/8cpc1o | 23:22 |
| Umeaboy | The more different characters the less risk of getting hacked. | 23:22 |
| SupaYoshi | right what i get after logging in | 23:22 |
| SupaYoshi | i use private public keys | 23:22 |
| SupaYoshi | password authenciation dissabled. but this script keeps running each time i login ssh. | 23:23 |
| SupaYoshi | its annoying me and im trying to find how to disable it. | 23:23 |
| SupaYoshi | Any idea? | 23:23 |
| Umeaboy | Add it to trusted hosts. | 23:23 |
| SupaYoshi | already is. | 23:23 |
| SupaYoshi | not tat its a script on the box. | 23:23 |
| Gaming4JC | SupaYoshi, if you are logged into the box - run ps -aux while logging in again? | 23:23 |
| Gaming4JC | see if there's a process running | 23:23 |
| SupaYoshi | okay :D | 23:24 |
| Jordan_U | SupaYoshi: The configuration that we support in #ubuntu is to have no root password at all, where running commands as root is performed via sudo. Why are you talking about having a secure root password? | 23:24 |
| SupaYoshi | 0 /bin/bash /root/update-passwords | 23:24 |
| SupaYoshi | think thats it | 23:24 |
| Gaming4JC | SupaYoshi, yep. Now to find out what's launching it | 23:25 |
| Gaming4JC | SupaYoshi, might be ~/.bash_profile | 23:25 |
| cosc | Hello | 23:25 |
| Gaming4JC | Hi | 23:25 |
| SupaYoshi | okay gaming thnx | 23:25 |
| cosc | Do you use ubuntu? | 23:25 |
| Nectar | Im getting this error when i "sudo apt-get update" : W: GPG error: http://download.opensuse.org Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 5A7D1D38BEB6D886 | 23:25 |
| Nectar | will : "sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 5A7D1D38BEB6D886" work | 23:26 |
| matin | huuhu | 23:26 |
| SupaYoshi | nah isnt in there | 23:26 |
| Nectar | well, will it fix the problem | 23:26 |
| Gaming4JC | SupaYoshi, well, it's not the right way... but you can just mv /root/update-passwords /root/update-passwords.bak | 23:26 |
| Jordan_U | Nectar: Please pastebin the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list and any files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ . | 23:26 |
| matin | :) | 23:27 |
| Gaming4JC | it'll break the script | 23:27 |
| Gaming4JC | :P | 23:27 |
| bisch | SupaYoshi, you might try something like: grep -rl update-passwords / 2>/dev/null | 23:27 |
| cosc | Anyone know any good speed reading apps? | 23:27 |
| usr13 | What is a speed reading app? | 23:30 |
| Gaming4JC | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=598519 | 23:30 |
| Gaming4JC | those are speed reading apps ^^ | 23:30 |
| cosc | Speed reading app helps you read at 250 Wpm | 23:31 |
| cosc | usr13 | 23:31 |
| SupaYoshi | that resulted in 1 file but... | 23:31 |
| SupaYoshi | thats another script file. | 23:31 |
| cosc | Thank you for those links Gaming4JC> | 23:32 |
| Gaming4JC | SupaYoshi, that's probably a script calling that script - so it may be what you're looking for | 23:32 |
| Gaming4JC | cosc: np :) | 23:32 |
| Gaming4JC | !next | 23:32 |
| SupaYoshi | i dont wanna remove that scipt though | 23:32 |
| SupaYoshi | :) i wanna make it stop calling the passwords script heh | 23:32 |
| Gaming4JC | SupaYoshi: Edit it and add ### Commented Code ### in front of the part that's calling it? | 23:33 |
| Nectar | Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/QtGLY2wr . In /sources.list.d/ is: http://pastebin.com/hdh6rTFq | 23:33 |
| Gaming4JC | SupaYoshi also cp ~/fooscript ~/fooscript_bakup bfore you do, just to be safe | 23:33 |
| Jordan_U | Nectar: Please pastebin the outptut of the following: for file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* ; do echo "$file"; cat "$file"; echo; done | 23:36 |
| Nectar | Jordan_U: I dont understand | 23:37 |
| usr13 | cosc: Oh, ok. Interesting.... | 23:37 |
| SupaYoshi | got it | 23:38 |
| SupaYoshi | :D | 23:38 |
| SupaYoshi | thnx | 23:38 |
| Jordan_U | Nectar: Copy and paste everything on that line starting with "for..." into a terminal, then press Enter. It will print the name of each file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ followed by that file's contents (followed by a blank line). | 23:38 |

| colin_ | hey | 23:43 |
| Jordan_U | Nectar: If that key is available from keyserver.ubuntu.com then I would expect that to work. Where did you find this repository? Did it have instructions for adding the key properly? | 23:48 |
| Nectar | Jordan_U: I found it here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/13065/how-do-i-fix-the-gpg-error-no-pubkey replaced the key with the one from the error; "5A7D1D38BEB6D886". | 23:49 |
| Nectar | not sure if that would work though | 23:50 |
| Jordan_U | Nectar: I meant where did you find this "arc-theme" repository? | 23:50 |
| Jordan_U | Nectar: http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=5A7D1D38BEB6D886&fingerprint=on seems to show that keyserver.ubuntu.com doesn't have that key, so that command wouldn't work. | 23:54 |
| Nectar | I think I went here https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3AHorst3180&package=arc-theme | 23:54 |

| Jordan_U | Nectar: You didn't perform the second step listed there. | 23:57 |
| Nectar | Jordan_U: will I have wget already installed? | 23:58 |
