[00:01] So, I am trying to access a USB floppy drive, and for some reason my box can only see it about 1/10th of the time, and even then, I cannot access data on the drive. [00:01] Gparted shows constant I/O errors with the drive when attempting to format it. [00:01] Any ideas? [00:06] OneM_Industries: Do you have the fdutils package installed? [00:07] Sorry, about that, now I do. [00:08] Installing fdutils did not help, as the drive is still not showing up. [00:10] I have plugged and unplugged it a few times, and it has now shown up. However, I cannot access the drive, nor format it. [00:11] OneM_Industries: You may also need ufiformat [00:11] !info ufiformat [00:11] ufiformat (source: ufiformat): disk formatter for USB floppy drives. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.9-1 (vivid), package size 13 kB, installed size 60 kB [00:12] Odd side note: now that it is showing up, it is showing up before the floppy is inserted into the drive.

Hope your ubuntu systems are playing friendly [02:21] think you [02:21] haha [02:22] welcome :=) [02:26] sak: are you hanging around the school yard again? you know you aren't allowed to do that [02:27] Hey, I'm sort of interested in the HSA Heterogeneous System Architecture features of AMD/others in Linux. Would #ubuntu-kernel be a good place to ask about that? Or where? [02:28] Thaurwylth, perhaps ##linux? === Blaster is now known as Guest32475 [02:28] Yeah, but I'm sort of interested about their compatibility especially with Ubuntu, hehe. Of course they might be kernel-specific, so in that sense not dealing with Ubuntu per se at all, [02:29] x86iac, I am only monitoring good behavior [02:30] Anyone else experiencing general graphics issues with Ubuntu 14.04.3 and Virtualbox 4.3.30? Flickering windows, unable to minimize the virtualbox window. Flickering text.. This is with 3d acceleration enabled and 128mb of memory allocated with the guest additions installed. [02:30] i am [02:30] i am yeah [02:31] thaurwylth, what is the HSA Heterogeneous System Architecture features of AMD? [02:31] i am yeah yeah yeah [02:32] neldogz, 128MiB of memory sounds rather low [02:32] Eduard_Munteanu, thats all virtualbox will allow for Linux VM's [02:33] you can set any size you want [02:33] x86iac, really where? [02:33] Memory management and graphics processing management in such a way that there is minimal, ideally no distinguishing between CPU and graphics RAM and CPU and graphics tasks. And all devices are supposed to share memory allocation with the CPU if they're under the HSA umbrella. [02:33] sure [02:33] neldogz, does this happen without 3d acceleration? [02:34] So it's like, long ago they had this idea called HyperTransfer to replace the traditional BUS clock thinking, and now this is like the next step, or one after many next steps, that grew out of it. Philosophically speaking, that is. [02:35] sak, without the 3d acceleration unity is so slow its unbearable but yet it cooperates much better [02:35] I'm mainly interested in whether the Linux kernels running behind new versions of Ubuntu will be fully using those HSA features on AMD hardware. [02:38] are dem fancy features in the kernel to begin with? [02:38] This is kind of like my question... [02:39] ping jose [02:39] ? [02:39] pong? [02:39] Also it's sort of known that not even all hardware produced by AMD is going to be fully HSA capable right out of the bat. So that might be my other question. But seeing how that is not Ubuntu or Linux kernel related... [02:39] jose, are you from UbuConLA [02:39] ? [02:39] I am, yes [02:41] jose, great! Here in Puno, will host SFD'15 , so Do you still have the banners? [02:41] neyder: pm [02:47] Good morning friends..(GMT +5.30) [02:47] What??? [02:48] I sort of swer my clock's right and I deduce GMT should be 2:48. [02:48] I have an Question . can i upgrade the Ubuntu 12.0 to 14.0 without affecting the data [02:48] Woops, I can't read, sorry. [02:49] !home | anandh, if you have separate /home, yes [02:49] anandh, if you have separate /home, yes: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving [02:50] I often suggest doing a clean update, though. There are reasons. [02:51] thanks friends.. I will check the link and try to upgrade it . Okay [02:51] With older versions of Ubuntu I just did version upgrades for a long time and... it broke stuff. Gradually. [02:51] So even though I might be in the minority here, I'd suggest a clean new installation of Ubuntu. [02:55] hey gang, any tips for getting network/wifi printer address to get it workin [02:56] it's not for me my bro is trying to get something working [02:56] most of the online stuff looks outdated [02:57] trekker118: you saying the inernet is already out of date? [02:57] i guess we have old internets D: [02:58] the setting he found seems to want an address we're just not sure how to find it [02:58] Bah, anything that's not web 2.0 is for wussies! And IPv6. [02:58] some of it is rather mouldy [02:59] Trekker118: Search for the phrase: "printer" in Unity. [02:59] Does this stuff still work through CUPS or is that completely outdated? [03:00] darn i think he already started fixin it [03:00] themill: what are you doing here and in debian ? are you a troll [03:00] isn't that how it goes :/ [03:00] Trekker118: By address it wants the ip address of the printer, which is typicially 192.168.1.xxx [03:00] see that was my first guess, thx [03:01] themill is a gentoo user ... so why is he masquerading as a ubuntu person and a debian person of quality [03:01] Trekker118: You can scan your network for machines, and it will list the ip addresses of the machines, if you so wish. [03:01] Anyways, if you find the localhost address that CUPS resides in, sort of, you might be able to locate the printer there, no? [03:04] anandh, yes you can. Upgrading only upgrades the system and applications. User created generally does not get touched. Unless you are doing a clean install, then it would be better to backup. [03:04] Is there anyone, here, who can help troubleshoot an audio input issue on Ubuntu 15.04 (64-bit)? [03:04] trekker118: There's a program called nmap you can use if Ubuntu's printer application can't find your printer. [03:05] neldogz, I can imagine the frustration of that [03:05] I am using a Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000, which has functioned flawlessly for years under Ubuntu; however, today it's settings appeared greyed out in the sound settings [03:05] Using the Pulse Audio Volume Control, though, it picks it up fine and the microphone appears to be working [03:06] So, there seems to be some sort of disconnect between Pulse Audio and the Ubuntu audio/sound settings [03:09] thaurwylth, is this something in relation to your earlier question about AMD HSA, http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-hypertransport-bus/ [03:09] LightweightOS: thx for the tips, hopefully it helps [03:10] i'm more of a gentoo guy, i'm not really familiar with the interface [03:11] trekker118: I just set up my printer a couple seconds ago, and Ubuntu's printer application automatically searches for it, and displays it under "network printer". [03:11] hello [03:11] my brother's kind of weaning himself off of windows, so i'm weary to help him too much :/ [03:11] trekker118: If you click on "network printer" It will come up under there if it finds it. [03:12] Sak, hm, perhaps not really, since HyperTransport is a much older protocol than the current HSA specifications. [03:13] I think HSA Heterogeneous System Architecture 1.0 is pretty much like a 2015 thing. More or less. [03:13] now he thinks he connected the printer to the wrong network :/ [03:13] The specification might be older, but even hardware support for it might not have existed before 2015. [03:13] argh, i'm so not good w/ tech support [03:14] my new firefox build should use system libvpx so it'll be less vulnerable to these zdays [03:14] trekker118: I'm assuming this is the printer in your house, and you only have one wifi network. I don't think you could connect it to the wrong network. [03:14] darn firefox people just dont keep their internal code up to date [03:15] LightweightOS: yeah I don't get what he means either :/ [03:15] trekker118: You're setting up a connection for your computer to the printer, anyways. [03:17] I'll brb, I'm restarting my computer. [03:17] oh he thinks it was a neighor's connection he accidently clicked on [03:17] Tee hee. [03:17] gosh darnit [03:18] Anyways, do you know CUPS? Open address localhost:631 in a browser and that gives you a surefire way to always do pretty much as you please with things related to printers. [03:19] Like, adding printers, managing network printers, etc. [03:19] I'm back :) [03:19] Hah ha, I was sowing seeds of evil behind your back... [03:20] hm cli has unicode error :/ [03:21] Does anyone here see a black screen flash for a moment when they log out of the default unity desktop environment? [03:21] Hi what app to index files in ubuntu? Ive many PDFs, usually it takes some times to find a file. Any app to help this? [03:23] Can I get some technical support here?

[03:53] nightly: have you tried updating your packages (apt-get update; apt-get upgrade)?

[03:55] !purge [03:55] To purge all removed but not yet purged packages, use the following command: dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}' | sudo xargs dpkg -P [03:55] hmm better find the wiki page instead === Blaster is now known as Guest38852 [03:56] LightweightOS: here we go https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto#Removal_commands [03:56] I'm installing the lubuntu-desktop currently, and I may even uninstall the Unity desktop. [03:56] LightweightOS, you are NOT installing the DE. [03:57] you are installing the lubuntu OS apps + DE [03:57] LightweightOS: you may want to be carefull purging meta-packages...it may yield unexpected results [03:57] sudo apt install lxde = DE only [03:58] Sak, I sort of know the HSA specifications, like HSA 1.0 and, um, does HSA 0.8 even exist, well anyway. But does the extra info PDF they have there, or whatever, answer the questions about the current situation? Does the Linux kernel have support for, say, HSA 1.0? Does all the current AMD APU hardware already come with HSA 1.0 support? [03:58] cfhowlett: I typed in sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop so I am installing the lubuntu-desktop and all of its dependencies. [03:59] Would it be a terrible idea to purge the Unity desktop environment? [03:59] LightweightOS, "When I install another desktop environment on Ubuntu ..." was your original question. now you are saying something different. [04:01] Right, now I also know that HSA 1.0 was publicly specified in March '15.

[04:06] system* [04:07] @ how can i found the hardware which made the trouble [04:08] Oh Ubuntu is really troubled distro [04:09] sura: The kernel is probing ACPI, looking for the "Platforms communication channel" interface. This is a new ACPI interface and not much hardware currently supports it. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1432171 [04:09] Launchpad bug 1432171 in systemd (Ubuntu) "[udev] Shows "starting version 219" boot message even with "quiet"" [Low,Fix released] [04:09] nightly: dont say things that arent true [04:09] every time i upgraded the system,troubles fllowed [04:09] I think Linus Torvalds absolutely right about it distro [04:09] !ot | nightly [04:09] nightly: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. [04:12] I was not sure I understood HSA as you do, Thaurwylth. I was not trying to answer your question, but to educate myself on what you know. So if the link about HSA is what you were referring to, then I am on the same page in knowledge [04:12] lotuspyscheje: I'm going to use LXDE instead. [04:12] ubottu, I asked about my problem twice here, and no one helps :(( [04:12] nightly: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:13] why not install fedora instead [04:13] sura: this isnt the channel to propose fedora [04:13] LightweightOS: why not install lubuntu then? [04:13] lotuspsychje: are u a bot too? [04:14] nightly: What graphics set (card) are you using ? [04:14] lotuspsychje: I installed Lubuntu, but now I need to get rid of the Unity Desktop Environment.

[04:15] lotuspsychje: Yes, that's precisely what happened. [04:16] LightweightOS: i would suggest a clean install lubuntu 14.04.3 [04:17] lotuspsychje: Should I get it from Lubuntu.net? [04:17] !lubuntu | LightweightOS [04:17] LightweightOS: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [04:17] Sak, I see, OK. Anyways, I guess the HSA Foundation page would have good plenty of information on the contents of that specification. Seeing how it's now five months old. [04:17] But "lspci | grep -i vga" shows me 2 VGA: 00:01.0 VGA Compatible controller: AMD/ATI Sumo Radeon HD 6480G and 01:00.0 VGA Compatible controller: AMD/ATI Whrisper [Radeon HD 6630M/6650M/.. and etc] [04:18] But I guess I'll go bother people on #ubuntu-kernel about its current inclusion in Linux.

Thanks for asking the question [04:24] You're welcome! [04:26] One thing worries me, though, the thing that was supposed to be AMD's first 1.0 flagship with full compliance was pulled from their publishing roadmap, at least the desktop version, at least this is the rumour I currently 'know.' [04:27] nightly: IF you had no grub you could not boot at all to anything. OK, reboot and as soon as the bios screan clears, depress and hold the right shift key -> grub boot menu. In this menu dpress the 'e' key for edit mode -> boot parameters screen . Arrow down to the line starting with linux arrow across to the terms "quiet splash" and insert the term nomodeset. key combo ctl + x to continue the boot process. Do you now boot to the GUI login screen [04:34] When I'm in the Ubuntu installer, and I choose the erase disk option, does it really erase everything first or would I need to reformat my hard drive to do that? [04:34] Bashing-om, should I insert nomodeset before or after "quite splash"? [04:35] Time for a facenap... Ahhh... ZZzzZzzZzZzz [04:37] Bashing-om, I have inserted nomodeset term before "quiet splash" and pressed ctrl+x rebooted and there is same problem ubuntu throws me back to log in screen when I logging in [04:38] nightly: Before will be fine . [04:41] nightly: Then that suggest that you had a bad burn in the install medium. Check the burn. Boot the liveDVD and as soon as the bios screen clears depress the right shit key -> language screen; escape key to accept the default -> boot iptiopns screen -> choose " check disk for defects" . Takes some time to check. is the result no errors ? [04:42] hola. vegasputon! [04:42] noodlearm. i things. Blesbian? [04:42] and to go see the tinder one. haha chrome cops came is on in area. you. timoteo. lol. ultimately release dont theses hanges, it'll say the fuckin for our penis TWICE With concur. heel [04:42] u wont to it [04:43] Bashing-om, tried again, starts strange, when I tried to log in there is show some visual artefacts(lines, rectangles) with different colors, looked like broken graphics and returned me back to log in window :(( [04:43] hep tep rog [04:43] Thaurwylth told me to go away. [04:43] What the heck?!? Does that still work??? [04:44] Bashing-om, I used USB for install media, burn iso via dd: dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdb [04:44] Thaurwylth, what are you talking about ? [04:45] what is BBlalian ? [04:45] Those kinds of spam bots have been terrorizing EFnet for at the least a year. [04:45] nightly: Same same applies to a USB medium. Check that the burn to USB is good . [04:46] lol [04:46] and hep teg rog ??? how do you know that ? [04:46] Somebody knew somebody who knew that back at EFnet. [04:46] I was surprised myself that it worked. [04:47] le me google that .. :D [04:47] For future reference, though, it's 'tep.' [04:48] Thaurwylth, http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/details.php?room=%233ds&net=EFnet [04:48] Anyways, if it still works, it means that whoever created those botnets or viruses in the first place hasn't been evolving their scripts since then. [04:48] It's been fun. You guys have a good night [04:50] Bashing-om, idk, I think my disk and usb is good, because I installed Gentoo and used it before [04:51] Disk, most likely yes, but creating the install USB media is a different process every time, hm? [04:51] nightly: IF you can not boot up with "nomodeset" it suggest that the medium is not good . We must KNOW it is good before anything else is done. [04:52] Thaurwylth, do you know the language ? are they written by haskel ? [04:54] Hello folks. When I boot Ubuntu I see "Ubuntu" and some dots below it. I'd like to not see that. I'd rather see nothing or the crazy scrolling lines. This is my /etc/default/grub file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12292163/ [04:56] TuquiTuqui: you need to change quiet splash to "" [04:57] Anyone on? [04:57] lotuspsychje: quiet splash to nothing? [04:58] TuquiTuqui: yes then update frub and reboot [04:58] TuquiTuqui: sudo update-grub after [04:58] lotuspsychje: did you see that it's currenty "noquiet nosplash"? [04:58] TuquiTuqui: did you add that? [04:58] em yes, I saw that in a thread [04:59] TuquiTuqui: change it to "" for text booting [04:59] lotuspsychje: and it has worked for me before [04:59] ok I'll remove it [04:59] I have a windows partition that took up my entire harddrive [04:59] so the whole line should read: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" ?? [04:59] Is there any way to resize it and create a new partition [05:00] TuquiTuqui: correct [05:00] Without reinstalling windows??? [05:00] lotuspsychje: thanx [05:00] TuquiTuqui: Wat I do to doo the booting messages " GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text" " . [05:00] Alocer, huh, sorry, I wasn't paying attention. I don't think I know anything about those. Only that they roamed EFnet and caused a lot of trouble. [05:00] Bashing-om: I'll try that as well, thanx [05:01] I'll go away now ==> [05:06] Anyone? [05:08] Rou: Winows tools for Windows partitions. Best adressed in the Windows channel . But yes many do it ! [05:10] Bashing-om, Just installed Linux Mint 17 via same USB drive, it works :) [05:10] How can I check the depandancies of an executable file in Ubuntu? [05:10] Hey guys, I have a quick question for you. I have the Samsung evo 850 with ubuntu 14.04 on kernel 4.1.6. Is there anything I need to do for precaution in terms of the buggy trim command? [05:10] Bashing-om: "text" didn't work [05:11] nightly: Cool .. enjoy . [05:11] Bashing-om, but thank you for active help! [05:11] TuquiTuqui: 14.04 or 15.04 ? [05:11] 14.04 [05:11] user Ben64 useless fag [05:12] Yeah he is [05:12] nightly: maybe if you answered the single question i asked you [05:13] TuquiTuqui: after making the edit did you ' sudo update-grub ' . I assure you it works ! I run it on my 14.04 and I do see boot messagaes as I boot up . [05:13] yes I did Bashing-om === Blaster is now known as Guest89343 [05:14] Got it... using ldd command [05:15] TuquiTuqui: Beats me then . What results if you boot from the grub boot menu with that boot parameter 'text' ? [05:16] Bashing-om: will try that, but since it's already "text" I'm not sure what you're suggesting [05:17] Does anyone here use a samsung ssd as their main drive? [05:20] TuquiTuqui: I do not understand why the edit to 'text' in /etc/default/grub does not result in your seeing the boot messages as you boot. Maybe booting from grub's boot menu will shed some additional light on the subject. [05:21] Bashing-om: Because you need to remove 'quiet splash', 'text' just means you don't boot to the display manager (lightdm) [05:22] Also ensure to sudo update-grub before rebooting. You can nalso select this option once usint 'e' on the grub screen and removing those two options. [05:23] DalekSec: :) . === athairus is now known as athairuzzz [05:27] Bashing-om and lotuspsychje: if I edit the line from grub menu into text it doesn't work well (I don't get the login screen, instead everything keeps being terminal) but if I replace "quiet splash" into "" it works just like I want. However, why is it "quiet splash" if I edited the grub file to be ""? [05:29] TuquiTuqui: With the parameter 'text' starting the display manager is supressed . [05:34] Bashing-om: I have several kernels installed. Could this be the reason? When you edit the /etc/default/grub file, are you only affecting the default kernel parameters? or are you affecting all kernel entries? [05:35] TuquiTuqui: If you only edit GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, correct. [05:37] DalekSec: what bout the other entries? [05:37] My lubuntu installation is taking forever [05:37] And removing every ubiquity component [05:37] Should I give up on it? [05:38] @Rou How long has it been? [05:38] An hour [05:38] What do you have on screen? [05:38] It's still detecting file systems [05:38] Hmm [05:38] Doesn't sound good. [05:38] What are you installing on? [05:38] The console keeps saying it can't find ubiquity componenets and removing them [05:38] A laptop [05:39] Model? [05:39] Installing from inside the lubuntu demo on another partition [05:39] dunno what its called [05:39] It's a Sony something [05:39] What other OS's are you running? [05:39] Windows 7 [05:39] TuquiTuqui: In the boot process that file is parsed for all kernels that you boot . [05:40] Bashing-om: then, why when I press E, I see "quiet splash" still as if I hadn't edited the grub file? [05:40] Tell me about your partitions @Rou [05:42] How do you have your partitions set up? You must have one for Windows and one for Lubuntu right? [05:42] TuquiTuqui: Something then is "not right" . What do you dee in the boot line in /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? [05:42] dee/see* [05:43] Try hitting ctrl+alt+f1/f2 and see if you can get a command line? [05:43] If the OS is still stable you should be able to get a command line with ctrl+alt+f1-f6 [05:44] Bashing-om: http://lpaste.net/140380 [05:46] TuquiTuqui: Looks good to me " Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.16.0-37-generic root=UUID=fb804d09-0eb7-46c5-8de5-386f91fbe631 ro " as you see 'quiet splash' os not present . I have no idea why it would still be in grub;s boot parameter in edit mode . [05:48] I've tried to do a quick wipe of my partition with gparted, however I failed. How can I achieve this? === andrewjs18_ is now known as andrewjs18 [05:56] Guys hwat do I format the partition to before using wubi? [05:57] What does wubi do Rou? [05:58] Rou, wubi is not supported nor put in a partition. [05:59] What's a good tool to use to wipe my partition? [06:00] S4hit: gparted [06:01] S4hit: gparted and cfdisk both come to mind [06:01] baizon: I feel like it didn't wipe it properly, because when I format my hard drive to ext4, it says I still have 11 GiB of used space. [06:02] Do I use logical or primary? [06:02] S4hit: Well, you could use dd to write zeroes to it, but that'd be by no means fast [06:02] !wubi | Rou [06:02] Rou: Wubi was a way to install Ubuntu from within Windows, but it is no longer supported in recent versions of Ubuntu and was never well maintained even for Ubuntu 12.04. Do not use Wubi. See !install for other options for installing Ubuntu. [06:03] LambdaComplex: When I install Ubuntu, and it says "erase disk" Does it really erase the entire disk? [06:03] S4hit: No idea [06:04] S4hit: How long does it take? [06:05] My laptop refuses to boot from USB [06:05] And I can't burn a disk [06:05] So I have no other choice than wubi [06:05] LambdaComplex: It takes up to 10 mins to install Ubuntu for me. [06:05] Rou: What do you mean by "refuses?" [06:05] It just won't boot from usb [06:05] S4hit: Hm, not sure. Using dd will definitely get rid of the data though. [06:05] I've tried powerISO, I've tried unetboot [06:05] It boots Windows 7 from USB [06:05] Rou: Have you tried dd? [06:05] But not any linux distribution [06:05] dd? [06:06] bit-by-bit copying utility [06:06] LambdaComplix: Will dd take more than an hour? [06:06] S4hit: How big is the partition? [06:06] LambdaComplex: My drive is 700 gigs. [06:06] it depends on the size [06:06] try turning the bios to legacy mode [06:06] 700 GiB actually. [06:07] S4hit: Ooh, that'd definitely take a while. I used dd to write a ~1.5 GB iso earlier and that took about 10 minutes. [06:08] slow drive.. take it easy.. [06:09] S4hit: Did you try using gparted? [06:10] LambdaComplex: Bleach bit says it erases free disk space. And yeah, I tried gparted. I reformatted to ext4 on my 700GiB drive and it went from 14GiB used space to 11GiB used space. [06:10] try unetbootin or MultiSystem [06:10] to make the usb [06:11] Hi all! [06:11] dw1: Unetbootin is pretty unreliable. [06:12] what is the preferred method [06:12] No, it works fine for me [06:12] Rohan_k: That doesn't change the validity of my statement. [06:13] dw1: I'd say dd is the best method. [06:13] so just dd the iso and it's bootable ? [06:13] Otherwise I used to use Universal USB installer when I used windows [06:13] dw1: Yes? [06:13] k [06:13] Just don't get if and of mixed up :P [06:14] cd burning programs should burn to other removable media too :/ [06:14] make it easy [06:14] LambdaComplex: It says my drive is located under /dev/sda1 but I don't see it there in my file system. I'm on a live usb right now. [06:15] dw1: Writing to a USB drive is different from writing to a CD [06:15] And generally easier [06:15] S4hit: The drive that should be empty? [06:15] And faster [06:15] ^ [06:15] still the same commands to get the .iso on there [06:15] LambdaComplex: Yeah, that one. [06:15] but i digress [06:15] S4hit: Does it show up under lsblk? [06:16] LambdaComplex: yeah, it says it's located here: /media/lubuntu/a59f1380-1a6b-4856-bdbd-a7cf92f4 [06:17] LambdaComplex: They type is partition and the name is sda1 [06:17] S4hit: Does ls -A tell you anything is there? [06:17] is "safely remove" still necessary for USB/MMC cards to not experience data loss? [06:17] dw1: Just unmount it [06:17] It won't let you unmount if something is still using it [06:17] i notice nautilus has both eject and safely remove [06:18] LambdaComplex: Yeah, it says the size is 700 Gigs. [06:18] i thought thtat was due to some caching that needed a 'flush' [06:18] or something [06:18] LambdaComplex: I also found it under my file manager. [06:19] S4hit: Well, you could try using du and df [06:20] LambdaComplex: I'm using bleachbit, and it says there's 30 minutes remaining and it's going to wipe the free space from it. [06:20] That works too [06:20] LambdaComplex: 109 minutes and climbing :o [06:20] * LambdaComplex needs to go to sleep [06:21] Goodnight! Don't break anything :P [06:21] bleachbit looks good [06:21] ty === nudtrobert1 is now known as nudtrobert [06:27] I used universal boot loader [06:27] And it finally works [06:27] universal boot installer* [06:30] How can I simply delete every file on my hard drive without wiping the data bit by bit with dd. [06:31] Does reformating with gparted achieve that goal? [06:33] yeah [06:33] Format [06:33] dw1: Thanks. [06:34] creates a new file system and forgets the old [06:34] dw1: What if it says that I still have 11 GiB of used space on it, though? [06:34] when you format it should all be free [06:34] and empty [06:35] dw1: I've formatted it a few times and it's still 11 GiB [06:35] in another partition maybe [06:35] dw1: It's all one partition, it says so. [06:38] question, whenever i send the restart command to the ubuntu server, its like it doesn't restart properly or something [06:38] because I can't SSH into it [06:38] have to hit the reset on machine to get back in [06:56] someone here has got to know something that's happening [06:59] TragicM3LON: how do you send the restart command? [07:01] sudo restart [07:01] or sudo reboot [07:02] akik it seems it goes to reboot, cause the ssh tunnel gets disconnected [07:02] TragicM3LON: and you see the machine restarting normal? [07:03] it obviously isn't i don't know, akik it's a headless server box [07:03] so i'm always ssh'd to it [07:03] can you connect a display to it? [07:04] ya, but don't have a VGA Cable to use atm :( [07:04] otherwise this would be easier to troubleshoot [07:04] maybe it's not getting it's tcp/ip settings activated correctly [07:05] can you ssh into it after restart? [07:05] no says connection refused [07:05] so i have to manually press the reset button [07:05] then i can ssh in [07:07] can you ping it after restart? [07:16] you could add "ps auxwf" into /etc/rc.local and chmod +x /etc/rc.local and see if sshd gets started [07:16] sorry [07:16] ps auxwf > /tmp/processlist [07:16] that will create a processlist into /tmp as the last task in the boot process [07:18] ps auxwwf seems to bring in more detail [07:19] i'm just seeing if updating the kernel will fix it [07:19] is it using a wifi adapter? [07:20] no [07:22] you can try running "nc -v ipaddress 22" from another box to test the ssh port [07:22] does it have a static or dhcp ip? [07:23] static [07:25] someone knows a gui package to enable/disable systemd services easy === mhenrixon_afk is now known as mhenrixon [07:33] I believe my tv is probably supplying wrong EDID information [07:33] I figured it from running $ get-edid | decode-edid [07:33] I've read that typically people just override the EDID in various ways, or even disable EDID in xorg.conf [07:34] I'm not clear though what is the recommended way [07:34] renwenhsin: can you give us more details of your end goal? [07:35] arrrrrrgh. mom's computer was getting buggy so i decided to do a fresh install. now when i restart getting error: /boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod not found. entering rescue mode... grub rescue .. but not doing anything [07:36] installed via unetbootin usb lubuntu 14.04.2 [07:36] mikubuntu: did you disabled fastboot + secureboot? [07:37] lotuspsychje: nope -- never heard of that -- just did a normal install, seemed to go right until restart === luckybunny is now known as SeamanStaines [07:38] lotuspsychje, my colleague recommended a tv screen LG UB850V for doing some 3D multimedia work that I do. [07:38] mikubuntu: your system is uefi right? you single install ubuntu or dualboot? === SeamanStaines is now known as luckybunny === luckybunny is now known as BloodbathnBeyond [07:38] lotuspsychje: single install [07:38] lotuspsychje, now I have this expensive tv, but one resolution/frequency mode is missing on Ubuntu 14.04 [07:38] lotuspsychje, not a problem on windows, but on linux [07:39] renwenhsin: on wicj graphics card + driver? [07:39] lotuspsychje: what is uefi [07:39] !uefi | mikubuntu [07:39] mikubuntu: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [07:39] mikubuntu: try to find secureboot and fastboot in bios, both should be disabled [07:39] lotuspsychje, Ubuntu 14.04 recommended one was nvidia-346 for my card GTX970 [07:39] lotuspsychje: ok, lemme check === BloodbathnBeyond is now known as luckybunny [07:40] renwenhsin: is that an optimus card? === x1_ is now known as Jakey2 [07:40] lotuspsychje: where are those settings, in the boot sequence screen? [07:40] lotuspsychje, MSI GTX970 [07:40] how do i put the date on the lubuntu desktop [07:40] mikubuntu: bios screen, f2 or DEL [07:41] lotuspsychje, this card runs my ACER UHD monitor at 4k 60Hz without problem... only this LG TV results in problems... a lot of EDID inconsistency errors output in Xorg.0.log [07:41] Does Ubuntu have a default file for iptables policy files? [07:41] renwenhsin: have you tryed if you got same issue on different driver? [07:41] !iptables | greenride [07:41] greenride: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as gufw and ufw-kde also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [07:41] lotuspsychje, I've been hesitant to backport the driver [07:42] renwenhsin: would be interesting to see if other drivers get you more modes? [07:42] lotuspsychje, yes. [07:42] lotuspsychje, I have read that people are having issues, either with nvidia driver or bios on MSI card itself. [07:43] renwenhsin: also played with xrandr or arandr? [07:43] lotuspsychje, in every case people seem to solve problems by generating their own EDID [07:43] lotuspsychje, or doing some hocus pocus with xorg.conf [07:43] lotuspsychje, I have not tried that yet. [07:43] lotuspsychje, can I use xrandr to force a mode on that display? [07:43] renwenhsin: normally yes [07:44] !xrandr | renwenhsin [07:44] renwenhsin: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [07:44] lotuspsychje: in the main section of bios there are some entries: quiet boot (enabled), network boot (enabled) f12 boot menu (enabled) d2d recovery (enabled) but nothing says 'fastboot' or secureboot [07:44] !info arandr | renwenhsin also nice [07:44] renwenhsin also nice: arandr (source: arandr): Simple visual front end for XRandR. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.7.1-1 (vivid), package size 66 kB, installed size 507 kB [07:44] lotuspsychje, ok, so I should probably familirize myself with using xrandr/arandr first... see if I can force it... [07:45] mikubuntu: check all settings mate, see if you can find anything with uefi, legacy,secureboot,etc [07:45] lotuspsychje, does xrandr talk to xorg system? [07:46] renwenhsin: not sure how it communicates with xorg, but as the trigger says its the method for dualscreens in X [07:46] lotuspsychje: none of those appear [07:46] mikubuntu: wich was default Os on your pc? [07:47] lotuspsychje: it had lub 14.04.3, but i don't know what she had done to make it buggy -- the version that downloaded from unet was 14.04.2 [07:48] mikubuntu: what brand is your pc? [07:48] lotuspsychje: but i did 'erase' lubuntu and install [07:48] mikubuntu: i just wanna find out if your system is uefi [07:48] lotuspsychje: gateway [07:49] mikubuntu: type? [07:49] lotuspsychje: laptop [07:49] mikubuntu: lol, model?type? [07:49] lotuspsychje: lemme look underneath [07:50] nug700: have you been able to solve your issue yet? [07:51] which one? [07:51] nug700: :p any [07:51] lotuspsychje: gateway n214 https://goo.gl/9L9ErG [07:52] lotuspsychje: so funny when i loaded it live it all seemed to work, connected to wifi, etc [07:55] lotuspsychje: brb 5 mins tops [07:55] mikubuntu: can you find your model here: http://us.gateway.com/gw/en/US/content/drivers-downloads [07:57] How do I fix the intense screen tear on Amazon instant video? [07:57] tearing* [07:57] nug700: wich grafix card and ubuntu version? [07:58] ubuntu 15.04 with gtx970 [07:58] and xfce desktop them [07:58] nug700: wich driver loaded? [07:59] 352,41 [07:59] 352.41* [07:59] nug700: does a vlc or youtube give you same tearing? [07:59] yes on yourtube [08:00] nug700: tryed another driver? [08:00] curoius only does it on youtube when my mouse is over the video [08:00] curious* [08:00] nug700: on firefox or chromium? [08:01] using google chrome [08:02] nug700: test if you have tearing in vlc video or firefox aswell [08:02] lotuspsychje: how strange, no product number doesn't appear there [08:02] k [08:02] mikubuntu: yeah cant find neither, trying to find bios manual...

[09:44] akik: I'm quite certain it is possible, but it's in the "road less traveled" category. Unfortunately I cannot adjust or manipulate any settings or features as it only boot loops, and I am trying to fix it in recovery mode [09:46] hi, i have a problem building xml-rpc and cant find whats missing on my system. could anybody take a look at it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/12293504/ [09:46] akik: hence the reason I need it to mount in ubuntu so that I can access it in windows on Virtualbox with the recovery software provided by the vendor. [09:46] mach20x: why do you need to mount it? isn't it enough to forward the usb device to virtualbox?

I'm transferring my wordpress sites from Hostgator to Digital Ocean. I have paid close attention to this guide: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-multiple-wordpress-sites-on-a-single-ubuntu-vps and I think it was successful, but now i need to configure plugins and content before pointing the domain at new server. Is there any way i can access and develop current wordpress installations and pr [10:52] fiksie, might that question be better asked of #wordpress? [10:53] Yeah, I was thinking about that as well. It's because i could access developing domains with http://ip/~username. Now I'm wandering if it is any different with ubuntu [10:54] fiksie: It isnt different because of Ubuntu, it may be different because your of your Wordpress setup. [10:55] okay, thank you for your help [11:03] is opensmtpd in Ubuntu already a reliable alternative to postfix? [11:03] why would it not be reliable ? [11:03] it's an SMTP relay/mail agent [11:03] don't know what you mean by 'already' [11:05] well, it is "new" and it seems like only one maintainer over at debian is taking care of an slightly outdated version [11:06] so thats your answer [11:06] are you comfortable witht that situation ? [11:06] why do you need to replace postfix ? [11:07] imho postfix is not very intuitive. I am looking for a solution that is easier to understand and configure [11:07] postfix is very well laid out and very well documented [11:08] up to you what you use [11:12] hiya folks === mint is now known as Guest90673 [11:24] Hi!

[11:29] it would need to go upstream [11:29] as ubuntu pulls from debian [11:29] hmm [11:30] ikonia: do you mean I should send it to somebody at debian ? [11:31] I mean you should send it to the upsteam sourc [11:31] source [11:31] so that it's fed down [11:31] you can do that through the ubuntu/debian bug reporting system / tool [11:31] or direct [11:31] ok [11:32] I think upstream is some cvs server on sourceforge XD [11:33] apt-get source scanbuttond shows in debian/changelog: scanbuttond (0.2.3.cvs20090713-16) unstable; urgency=low * Orphaned. -- Milan Zamazal Sat, 30 Nov 2013 21:11:22 +0100 [11:33] why are you showing us that ?

[11:36] so it stands to reason that the later versions of the windows clients must need an extra setting/change if it works with 7 but not with 8 [11:36] I'd start by researching that [11:36] ikonia: FYI, I updated samba to 4.1.11 with a ppa, but I had the same problem with 4.1.6 [11:37] I'd remove that PPA package set [11:37] ikonia: yes, there are a number of things to try that I found online, but none worked. [11:37] ikonia: ok, why? [11:37] because PPA is unsupported/ stable is [11:38] ok I'll email that debian guy and ask instructions [11:38] goodbye [11:48] Hmmm; managed to lock myself out of the laptop for 2 hours this morning, via a GRUB Denial of Service attack.

[12:46] trijntje, if it's failing, every i/o brings you closer to catastrophic failure. [12:46] consider cloud storage of critical stuff [12:47] However, as cfhowlett said you are getting closer and closer to complete loss. [12:48] lvleph, I've been fiddling with alsamixer, pavucontrol and everything for quite a while. [12:48] Also alsa-base.ctf [12:48] cnf* [12:48] If I/O errors have started rsync is no good to you since it will fail as soon as it tries to read a bad sector [12:49] ddrescue maps the I/O errors and works around them, and tries its hardest to recover everything despite I/O errors [12:49] lvleph, cfhowlett I know, but what else can I do? I can leave the harddisk and never access it, or read it and risk a failure [12:49] I would rsync important things to another disk. [12:50] trijntje, back up to the cloud. no write needed. box/dropbox are your friends and/or rsync [12:50] If you have to buy a new drive and a usb external case for it if you can't install directly into your machine. [12:50] lvleph: rsync is no good if there are I/O errors [12:51] trijntje: ddrescue is your friend [12:51] trijntje, also: no more boots from the HDD! boot from USB, copy off the data [12:51] cfhowlett, I'm trying to dd to another disk, so there's no need to backup to the cloud. It would be too slow anyway [12:51] trijntje: it's like dd but won't break on failing sectors (but log them) and copy all it can. [12:51] another +1 for ddrescue, has helped me in this situation before [12:51] Seveas, TJ- I'm reading the ddrescue manual now, thanks [12:52] trijntje: I had a 2 TB disk in for recovery a while ago... ddrescue recovered all but one 4096 byte sector. [12:53] TJ-: that's better luck than me. Lost a few meg last time (on a 900gb disk) [12:53] trijntje: but that sector happened to be in the middle of a critical file-system data structure [12:53] Seveas: It depends on the extend of the failure I guess, and how fast it degrades, how fast you catch it, etc. [12:54] TJ-: catching was the problem. Literally. The disk broke when it fell :) [12:55] Seveas: LOL ... I've been there... and was SO thankfully the disk was fitted with a free-fall detector! [12:56] TJ-, thats unlucky. I'll have to see how much is damaged, I have had problems for a while, but only in windows, never in ubuntu, so I didn't suspect my harddisk itself [12:56] This one wasn't mine. The owner of the disk was incredibly happy I recovered most of his irreplacable photos, and was taught about the benefits of backups :) [12:57] trijntje: As cfhowlett said, stop booting/mounting that drive, Use a USB live ISO. Get a 2nd disk that is at least as big as the failing drive, use ddrescue to recover everything it can to the good drive, then use tools like 'testdisk' 'fsck' and 'photorec' if needed to recover file-systems andfiles [12:59] TJ-, I've booted from usb. Should I just run ddrescue with the default settings the first time? ddrescue /dev/sdb image logfile [13:00] trijntje: use smartmontools 'smartctl' to check the SMART diagnostic info the drive firmware stores, it will give you an idea of what the extent of the failure is, and whether it is major damage, or slowly degrading. Probably failing to remap failing sectors. [13:00] trijntje: yup. [13:02] trijntje: The other possibiliy is it is just a cable failure ... that is easy to fix [13:03] TJ-, smart says 'one bad sector', but the disk has been online for 2.5 years, so I guess its getting old. I've put it in another pc so its not a cable problem sadly [13:03] one bad sector isn't too bad [13:04] trijntje: It depends if that one bad sector is in a 'bad' place I guess :) [13:05] trijntje: The Linux kern.log should report the Logical Block Address (LBA) of the failing sector read. Get that number, and you can figure out what data is mapped to the sector. That will help identify how serious the issue is. [13:05] TJ-, looks like its about 10GB into the disk, so safely in the windows part of the disk [13:07] trijntje: If it is affecting Linux too, the error could be a mechanical issue that 'moves' rather than being a literal surface defect on a platter [13:09] TJ-, this is the dmesg output since starting ddrescue http://pastebin.com/GVYqRAX9 [13:14] trijntje: If that is all that fails, you're very lucky [13:15] trijntje: You might be able to use 'hdparm' to force that sector to be reallocated, if the SMART reallocated count isn't already at its maximum [13:16] so far so good, ddrescue has read 54G and found one 33kb error. [13:21] TJ-, this is what smartctl says, I dont really understand the output though: http://pastebin.com/yBymxi8k [13:24] trijntje: That actually looks very good; There's just 1 pending sector for reallocation, which you can probably force using hdparm. The UDMA CRC error count could indicate problems with the link to the disk controller, or the controller itself, in the original PC. [13:25] trijntje: Here's a simple overview: http://www.sj-vs.net/forcing-a-hard-disk-to-reallocate-bad-sectors/ [13:27] TJ-, I'm glad that the disk is mostly ok, but I'm not sure I still trust my pc. I've also had it hang at the bios a few times, or suddenly reboot. Could that all be caused by a faulty harddisk (connection)? [13:28] trijntje: My first suspect would be faulty power supply issues [13:36] * onepolar leaving to downtown [13:40] How to debug invoke-rc.d errors? ssh restart fails for me...

[14:27] cfhowlett: I see. Something tells me someone made something for this before (most server owners would like the system temperature available, i guess?). I'll google a bit and ask in that channel. Thanks. :) [14:27] cfhowlett: But still, you see what i'm after? Just like top, but for temperature. [14:28] Like a CLI Speedfan or something. [14:28] NGC3982, great idea! ask #ubuntu-server [14:28] I get what you're after, I'm just not knowledgeable [14:28] Although, i think i know how..

[15:59] ioria, yes i do [16:00] CRYPTIIX, can you past sudo lshw -c video [16:01] ioria, http://pastebin.com/zbKEPSJ1 [16:01] how to limit bandwidth on a web server === mhenrixon is now known as mhenrixon_afk [16:03] CRYPTIIX, laptop intel/nvidia ? [16:03] f [16:03] ioria, yes sir [16:03] Hi! what am i suppose to do if i forgot my BIOS password! :o [16:04] Enezaus: talk to the manufacturer :) [16:04] take the battery out of the mobo for at lwast 30 mins [16:04] Enezaus: sometimes they got reset procedures or universal passwords. [16:05] k1l_: and if i cant? :s [16:05] CRYPTIIX, how did you install nvidia, from Additional Driver or from command line ? [16:05] BluesKaj: im on a laptop so its not easy yo find the battery... [16:05] i have downloaded sublime in zip format , how to install that zip file? [16:06] ioria, additional driver [16:06] f [16:07] greg: the website where you got that .zip or inside the .zip should be a readme or howtoinstall [16:07] * NGC3982 notices his atom230 nettop server is pending on 80C [16:07] That's a lot. === mhenrixon_afk is now known as mhenrixon [16:08] k1l_: its sublime text editor there its not given [16:08] CRYPTIIX, as a try, when you resume you could ctrl-alt-F1 or F2 and then ctrl-alt-F6 of F7 to return to the GUI.. [16:08] CRYPTIIX, but that doesn't sole the issue ... i think [16:08] Enezaus: my bios password survived no cmos battery if that's what you mean. should probably check manufacturer's documentation [16:09] Is it possible to reset the BIOS PW using the terminal? [16:09] *v [16:09] ioria: I've tried that and it doesn't work :( . I've been trying for almost a week to find out what this problem is, but nothing has helped me [16:09] SchrodingersScat: thank you :) [16:10] greg: sublime text is payware. so ask sublime for support [16:10] !info nvidia-prime [16:10] nvidia-prime (source: nvidia-prime): Tools to enable NVIDIA's Prime.

[16:18] EriC^^, awesome thx [16:18] Norbin: np [16:20] what to do? [16:20] AmitKumar: what do you mean? [16:21] i mean topic of discussion. [16:21] AmitKumar: this is the ubuntu support channel [16:29] I am working with 2 monitors (1080p) sometimes when moving from one screen to another, one of them is just blank until i move the mouse cursor to it [16:29] hard to even describe the problem [16:29] Hi all. My VPS s running 14.04. I want to move to 15.04. I updated my /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set prompt to normal then ran sudo do-release-upgrade [16:29] the process took about 15 minutes, said it was updating 403 package, installing 24, removing a few, whatever. I had to manaully decide which configs to use. then it prompted for a restart [16:30] it restarted but lsb_release -a still says i'm running 14.04? [16:30] first update it again [16:30] then try for upgrade [16:30] and reboot the system [16:31] hope it will help [16:31] AmitKumar, So, just try again? [16:31] i have done the same it worked [16:31] stan_man_can, you can't upgrade directly to 15.04 [16:31] but i did it [16:32] BluesKaj, oh really? [16:32] first installed 14.10 then upgraded to 15.04 [16:32] you have to upgrade to 14.10 then 15.04 [16:32] BluesKaj, Ohh sorry Yes you're right I just noticed im' on 14.10 now not 14.04 [16:33] sorry that was dumb of me [16:33] stan_man_can: so once again do-release-upgrade [16:33] k1l_, Yeah I"ll just repeat the process [16:33] go for it [16:33] sorry for that guys I should have been paying better attention [16:33] as soon as I saw 14.* I think my brain shut down in a "wtff" [16:34] EriC^^: So, how do I properly disable autostart of lighttpd on my Xubuntu, which you said uses system.d? [16:35] !systemd [16:35] systemd is the default init system for Ubuntu 15.04 onwards. For information on transitioning from upstart to systemd, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers [16:35] i think you should use systemctl lighttpd disable [16:35] Since the topic are upgrades, can I (next year) upgrade from Server 15.04 to 16.04 LTS? Or am I stuck on the "non-LTS"? [16:36] EriC^^: Managed to add my script folder to NOPASSWD record in conf file in /etc/sudoers.d/,thanks. [16:36] saturday_sun, you'll have to upgrade to 15.10, and then to 16.04 [16:36] after that you can stay on lts if you want [16:36] ok! thanks! [16:37] AlexQ: np [16:37] Hi there. When will Ubuntu 16.04 LTS be releasing? [16:38] does desktop sharing only work locally via LAN btw? like remote desktop? [16:38] saturday_sun: 15.04 looses support after 9 months so you want to upgrade to 15.10 in this year anyway. [16:40] how does centos 7 compare to ubuntu 15? [16:40] you can't really compare [16:41] my understanding is that centos is considered more stable than ubuntu. Primarily, because its main repos are lagging behind ubuntu [16:41] you can't compare [16:42] well, I need to have some criteria to decide whether to use ubunto or centos [16:42] so where do I start? [16:42] It is for a web server [16:42] apples and oranges , silly comparison [16:42] use what you like [16:42] or best meets your needs [16:43] how do i configure grub,since i installed ubuntu with window10 in the system and ubuntu is not showing in grub [16:44] gajus: better ask in ##linux since this is #ubuntu [16:44] k1l_: I am Okay with biased answer. [16:45] EriC^^: And what would be the proper way (i.e. to be able to umount from userspace by just clicking "Umount" on the desktop etc.) to automount a NTFS drive on that Xubuntu, on boot up? Guess not by directly using ntfs-3g in /etc/fstab ? [16:45] gajus: you can't compare [16:45] so far my understanding is this: Ubuntu gives access to the latest tech. This comes at the cost of a less predictable behaviour. [16:45] gajus: nope. ubuntu got LTS releases [16:46] AlexQ: you could add gvfs-mount -d /dev/sdxY to the startup apps or so [16:46] However, this only describes repositories. In case of CentOS you can use custom repos too and make it as much unpredictable. [16:46] yep use lts and u are safe gajus [16:46] I'd be a lot more interested to know whats the overhead/how do the two compare in terms of performance [16:46] gajus: we in here cant help you on that decision. we focus on technical ubuntu support in here [16:47] gajus: you can't compare - grasp that [16:47] Understood [16:47] how do i configure grub,since i installed ubuntu with window10 in the system and ubuntu is not showing in grub [16:47] the suggestion to ask in ##linux iss the right one, gajus [16:47] can anyone suggest me? [16:48] ikonia: Sorry, your statement "You cannot compare" is nonsensical. I *can* compare apples and oranges (http://www.diffen.com/difference/Apples_vs_Oranges). The same way there is a common ground for Ubuntu and CentOS [16:48] BluesKaj: Thanks. I will head to Google. [16:48] gajus: no. it's not [16:48] gajus: if you could compare - you'd be researching [16:48] gajus, just click on here ##linux [16:49] Thank you all [16:49] o_O [16:50] Having trouble getting Ubuntu to play DVDs (for the first time in 8 years).

[16:58] Actpa: is your sound is ok? You have icon missing but can you hear played sound? [16:58] EriC^^: Thanks, it works well [16:58] My sound icon is missing and I cant hear sound [16:59] !sound | Actpa [16:59] Actpa: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [16:59] AlexQ: np [16:59] Actpa: can you check if your system "see" your sound card? [17:00] It does Liop [17:00] Actpa, or, if you try to play an audio file from the command like, like `mplayer something.mp3` -- see if it thinks it's playing but you don't hear anything, or if you get some error you can look up info on? [17:00] OKAY [17:00] The sound works [17:00] just no icon now [17:01] Hey guys, somone can help me with my optimus setup and nvidia-prime now? :/ really need help [17:01] unity/gnome/xfce/kde or something else? [17:01] Gnome [17:01] EriC^^: Was quite irritating to get an error from Copy daemon after every reboot, and then need to click to mount that drive and re-select Copy directory after mounting :D. Hope that it mounts it before Copy daemon starts. Could always add some pause command before Copy start command or sth. [17:01] Bye! [17:02] Actpa, what did you do to get it to work?

Maybe logging out and back in, not that you have the sound card selected? [17:05] Um What do I search in the search menu [17:05] just sound? [17:05] well, i am using mint, so i can find Applets, to configure such as icons [17:06] Actpa, Slow down, stop spamming the channel, name the release and desktop, we know you're missing the sound icon. [17:06] BluesKaj, thanks, yes, I've done that already (a few times, also apt-get purged it and reinstalled). Still getting that error when trying to read any DVDs...

[17:09] I'm completely new to Ubuntu. [17:10] actpa okay, wait let me see [17:10] Actpa, why are you asking? [17:10] I was told I needed it. [17:10] sudo apt-get install dconf-editor [17:10] thank you [17:10] Actpa, no nick was given, it was for anther read the posts. [17:11] Actpa, try sudo apt-get install dconf-editor [17:11] I did it, thank you. [17:12] gulag: have you ever used mesploit? [17:12] kalby ive got problems with it. Its NOT working. Thats why im here. I was trying around over 10 hours [17:12] kalby: metasploit is not in the focus of this channel [17:12] BluesKaj, getting a "Cannot open SCSI driver!" error when I run wodim devices, looking that up. (I'm pretty sure it's /dev/sr0 based on modification times because it gets updated every time I eject) [17:12] Where can I find the sound applet inside search? Mine has dissapeared on the top right bar. [17:12] kill: alright then [17:12] Actpa, When you get it open look for this path, com, cononical, indicator [17:13] what can i ask? kill? [17:13] actpa, can you open the dconf? [17:13] kalby: the focus of this channel is the technical ubuntu support. [17:14] kill: okay [17:14] gulag2014: none of those worked. [17:14] how to create root on ubuntu? [17:14] my default is a user only [17:14] blah-: you dont [17:14] !sudo | blah- [17:14] blah-: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !pkexec (for older releases: !gksu and !kdesudo). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [17:15] i cannot log-in su [17:15] Actpa, so there was no sound indicator for you to choose visible or not? [17:15] so root is not possible? [17:15] Nope. not that I could find. It was available last night and I turned off my PC to go to sleep and today nothing. [17:15] blah-: sudo -i to get a root shell [17:15] blah-, Ubuntu is designed for that not being needed and can be troublesome. [17:15] actpa: did you have the answer, look at this http://askubuntu.com/questions/483397/missing-sound-volume-icon-on-screen-top-14-04 [17:16] blah-: ubuntu is build around not using the root account. if need a command with root permissions you use sudo. see the bots message [17:16] sudo -i if i will use the root shell [17:16] Actpa, What I meant was in "dconf" [17:16] kalby: When I run that in terminal I get this error: gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.sound visible true [17:16] but if i'm using the terminal only, i cannot use/connect the root itself right? [17:16] whops [17:16] No such schema 'com.canonical.indicator.sound' [17:17] !root | blah- [17:17] blah-: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [17:17] blah-: please read the bots messages [17:17] blah-: if you need a root shell, sudo -i [17:17] Actpa, Are you using the gui? [17:17] ahhhh [17:17] thanks guys. [17:17] Terminal GUI? [17:17] doesn't sudo passwd let you set s a root password? [17:18] dantheman1800: and that is the best way out of the supported ubuntu way. [17:18] this is a rather fishy output http://paste.ubuntu.com/12297405/ [17:18] blah-: You can do 'sudo passwd' then enter a root password, after you've done that you can type 'sudo -i' and enter that password. [17:18] Actpa: dantheman1800 that is not supported [17:18] Actpa: that isn't right.. [17:18] That will give you a # instead of a $ indictating you have root access. [17:18] I just did it last night. [17:18] Actpa, ok i will try it now. [17:18] but you can sudo -i first... [17:18] guys, any decent app for screenshots taking, pref with upload option? such as ShareX on windows if u know it [17:18] ok [17:18] Actpa: you don't need sudo passwd to use sudo -i [17:19] I know you dont. [17:19] blah-: dont set a root password. [17:19] the problem with the output in that pastebin is the fact that both cards are in actuality the same card (3600 series) [17:19] Actpa: stop giving bad advise! [17:19] norbin: why do you need an apps for screenshot? [17:19] advice [17:19] Actpa: also the password you enter after sudo -i, isn't the root password you've set [17:20] Actpa, i think it is not working [17:20] i type sudo -i [17:20] mach20x: They are on different PCI busses [17:20] ohh not possible [17:20] BluesKaj, seems like the wodim error isn't relevant. I can run `wodim dev=/dev/sr0 --devices` and confirm that /dev/sr0 is the DVD drive [17:21] kalby, mainly for automatic upload i guess ;oo [17:21] to sites like imgur [17:21] ; 0 [17:21] so, whenever i run packages, i will login only the user right? [17:21] yes they are, but they are both the same model of video card... I just have two of them and one of the pci's are reading i lower version... [17:21] blah-: no [17:21] i'm using synaptic also [17:21] blah-: you can run root-tasks like "apt-get " with sudo. "sudo apt-get update" [17:21] balleyne, that's odd...then i have no ideas left [17:22] ahhh [17:22] so that's why there is a sudo it means that is the root [17:22] BluesKaj, I know! Very odd, can't figure this out... Thanks anyways! [17:22] like sudo apt-get install irssi [17:22] blah-: please read the bots messages: they do explain it [17:22] Norbin: well, i get your point. maybe you can google it bro [17:22] kalby: when I run this command in terminal "gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.sound visible true" I get this error "gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.sound visible true" === znf_ is now known as znf [17:22] !root | blah- [17:22] Actpa, accept my screenshot [17:23] yes su=root do=what you do, hence sudo [17:23] How Gulag. [17:23] !root > blah- [17:23] blah-, please see my private message [17:23] ok [17:23] thanks [17:23] wait.. [17:23] Actpa: you dont copy paste with double mark right?

I had to force shutdown. Is there any fix? === xubuntu is now known as Guest53326 [17:31] gulag2014: check ~/.bashrc , did you modify it recently? [17:31] mach20x: When you said 'they are in fact the same card' you make it sound like you mean they are the same device, *not* that you think they should be the same model. It's surprisingly common that the same brand/model has multiple hardware IDs... often due to product revisions [17:33] Eric, I tried finding that file is it in etc? I found a bash.bashrc ? [17:34] gulag2014: no it should be in your home dir [17:34] type ls -l ~/.bashrc [17:36] Eric, okay found it. Color=auto. is that what it should be? [17:38] My laptop is Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Sa 3650 when I close the lid and it goes to sleep, it never come back! I had to force shutdown. Is there any fix?

In normal boot, ACPI PCC probe fails, a "starting version 219" systemd message appears, and that's it.

[21:34] Katronix: A thought; Both hard drives are GPT, and you boot up MBR, the two partitioning schemes are not compatible and thus the partition table(s) are not seen ?? === Evanion is now known as Evanion[AFK] [21:36] Bashing-om: okay, how do I tell Ubuntu to be in GPT mode? === Evanion[AFK] is now known as Evanion [21:39] Katronix: when you partition the disk [21:39] you put a partition table on it, it can be a legacy msdos, or modern gpt [21:40] Katronix: can you reiterate your problem, it's not that clear [21:40] Katronix: When you install, boot up from the firmware as EFI mode . Mind you, there is more I do not know about EFI than I do know . [21:40] GPT and EFI are two different things [21:40] If I have to re-install ubuntu, can I keep /home in MBR, so I can keep its contents? [21:41] "in mbr" ?? [21:41] there is only 1 partition table on a disk [21:41] okay so I would have to loose /home ? [21:41] Katronix: what exactly are you trying to do ? [21:41] Katronix: what is it that your doing? [21:41] I want to get grub to see the Windows drive [21:42] the windows drive ? [21:42] is that a seperate disk ? [21:42] yes [21:42] drive a has win10 you installed ubuntu to drive b? [21:42] so why do you care about your ubuntu partition? === Evanion is now known as Evanion[AFK] [21:42] Drive A has Ubuntu, drive B has Win10 [21:42] and you get grub right now? [21:42] so why are you trying to re-partition the ubuntu drive ? [21:43] paste sudo parted -l please [21:43] grub right now only sees the Linux drive [21:43] ikonia: True that GPT and EFI are not the same, but does not EFI require the drive to be partitioned as GPT ? [21:43] Bashing-om: if you're using the actual EFI boot manager in "modern" mode yes [21:44] Katronix: I don't understand why you are messing with the ubuntu partitions if you want it to see the windows one ? [21:44] http://pastebin.com/s5hQc4MP [21:44] ikonia: I want to be able to get grub to see both [21:44] ikonia: Tks, just keep'n my think'n linear. [21:44] Katronix: I get that, but why are you re-partitioning your linux drive ? [21:44] Katronix: ok, win10 is installed in uefi mode, ubuntu was installed in legacy(mbr) [21:45] ikonia: was just asking if that is what was needed [21:45] I don't understand, it makes no sense [21:45] "I can't boot the windows partition, so I'll re-partition the linux drive" [21:45] Katronix: you need to reinstall ubuntu in uefi mode, when you boot the live usb, open a terminal and type ls -l /sys/firmware/efi to see if it exists and know you're booted in uefi mode, then install [21:46] ikonia, never said I couldn't boot Windows, only said that grub didn't see Windows :) [21:46] Katronix: which is "can't boot windows" [21:46] if your boot loader can't see it - you can't boot it [21:46] EriC^^ so I would loose my /home partition? [21:47] Bashing-om: The EFI spec mandates that EFI *must* support both GPT and MBR partitioning, regardless of CSM/Legacy support [21:48] Katronix: If you alter the Linux boot style to be EFI ( which you can do without a reinstall) then both Windows and Linux can be chosen from the EFI boot menu [21:48] TJ so that would mean not using Grub? [21:48] TJ-: K. so long as there is a /boot partition to support grub ? [21:49] Katronix: No, it would mean GRUB only boots Linux. The purpose of the EFI Boot Manager is to allow the firmware to store and offer the boot selection without another boot manager being involved [21:50] Bashing-om: Yes... /boot/grub/-/ stores the GRUB modules [21:50] TJ okay, so that would explain why the boot manager on the motherboard only sees the Windows drive? [21:51] Katronix: To make it happen you'd swap out the 'grub-pc' packages for the 'grub-efi' packages; the grub CORE.img (grubx64.efi) would be install in the EFI system Partition on the drive that has Windows on, the remainder of GRUB's files are on the Linux drive [21:51] Katronix: Correct [21:51] Katronix: With Linux/GRUB also configured to boot with EFI, the tools (efibootmgr) will add an entry for Ubuntu to the firmware's boot menu === OS-17344 is now known as nullsign [21:52] TJ I don't know if it makes a difference, but the Linux drive is plugged into a lower numbered SATA connection, wouldn't that make it the primary boot device? [21:53] Katronix: The only 'fly in the ointment' is if the system boots with SecureBoot [21:53] no I didn't turn that on [21:53] Katronix: No, there is no such concept of boot device order with EFI [21:53] TJ okay wanted to make sure, since you said I'd install it on the Windows drive, not the Linux drive [21:53] Katronix: each boot menu entry stores the location of the boot-loader by the PCI device path and UUID [21:54] TJ is there a page that you know of to give me the list of commands I need to use to make this switch? [21:54] Katronix: Yes, that is because the "Windows Drive" has the EFI System Partition (ESP) - a fat12/16/32 file-system of around 256-512MB which stores the EFI files required by *all* operating systems [21:55] Katronix: No, it's very infrequently done. I can guide you through the steps though. [21:55] * TJ- is currently doing a build of GRUB 2 and has some time to wait :) [21:55] TJ is this something I can be chatting with you on the same system I'm making the change on? [21:56] Katronix: Yes [21:56] TJ okay cool, is it okay if I private message you? [21:56] Katronix: I have PMs disabled; best to keep support in-channel so others can contribute too, or if I have to leave [21:57] ok [21:57] so what do I do? [21:57] Keep it here because swapping the packages is Ubuntu specific [21:57] Katronix: first, make sure the target system has pastebinit installed: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" [21:57] Okay, if it makes a difference, I'm actually using Mint, which hopefully is close enough? [21:58] * TJ- rolls eyes [21:58] Not at all; there is no guarantee their packages are the same as Ubuntu. We only support Ubuntu here [21:58] !mint [21:58] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [21:59] apologies - this isn't the first time he's been warned about that [21:59] hehehe phew! saved me a lot of typing :) [21:59] probably why he didn't want to do it in public chat [22:00] He did originally ask in #grub but I wasn't there at that time; then I saw he'd got support here === zoltan_ is now known as Guest29412 [22:02] We've got a neat bug in GRUB too - if there's more than 1 cryptodisk and you try to mount the additional volumes, GRUB thinks they are already mounted and doesn't mount them. Nice denial of service; locked me out the PC for a couple hours this morning :) === g4mby is now known as PaulW2U [22:08] TJ-: ^^ How tough was that to track down ? [22:10] Pretty easy. At the rescue prompt with "set debug=cryptodisk" the 'cryptomount hd0,gpt4' command kept telling me 'already mounted as crypto0' - I just grep-ed the source for the message and am about to test a fix [22:11] TJ-: :) .. When you know what you are doing, does make it 'easy' . [22:14] Bashing-om: grep-ing is hardly rocket science :) [22:16] OK, reboot time... hopefully won't take me 2 hours to get back in this time [22:17] TJ-: It is knowing what/when to grep that takes the cogitation. Like I have never encountered the need " set debug=cryptodisk " . Chances are I would heve missed it entirely . Good thing to keep in mind ! [22:18] can i install ubuntu on raspberry pi 2 [22:18] ? [22:18] yep [22:19] with the official iso? [22:19] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RaspberryPi [22:19] thank you! === user is now known as Maratus [22:21] I am having some issues with wired connectivity. It's strange because my router sees its connected my computer shows it has an IP assigned but i can't get to google or any other site. [22:21] I also can't access the router at 192.168.1.1 [22:21] Ben64: is trusty 14.04 lts? [22:22] did you read the page [22:22] yes [22:22] ohh [22:22] okay, nvm [22:22] :P [22:22] Hey, I havent read all of the convo, but have you tried refit for your mac [22:22] it is useful for dual boot and such === user is now known as Maratus === richard is now known as Guest31321 [22:25] eatingth_: DNS issue ? What returns ' ping -c3 8.8.8.8 ' ? [22:25] that just fails out. I have 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 set as my DNS in my router [22:26] ' [22:26] connect: Network is unreachable is the exact error Bashing-om [22:26] I installed Ubuntu 15.04 and after some fiddling around with drivers to my r9 290 it seems when I boot back into Windows it no longer recognizes ANY USB devices. Has anyone had this problem before? [22:26] I can't fix anything on the Windows side because I can't get any input in, I have a feeling there's something with GRUB that I can do to fix this. [22:28] eatingth_: Not even getting out of house. OK is the card working ? ' ping -c3 127.0.0.1 ' . [22:28] id checkout stackoverflow [22:29] I am trying to get a linksys wireless-G pci adapter to work on ubuntu. anyone know where i could get the drivers? === MattTS_ is now known as MattTS [22:31] Bashing-om: that responds properly [22:33] eatingth_: K . Then it is back to look at what the system sees ' sudo lshw -C network ' . === nullsign is now known as OS-17344 [22:35] Bashing-om: Do you want everything from that command? or a certain part? Just the computer im running it on i can't connect to in any way :/ [22:35] Anyone know how to get TeamSpeak 3 for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS? [22:36] !teamspeak | Actpa [22:36] Actpa: teamspeak is the proprietry VoIP software see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TeamSpeak For a open source alternative consider using Mumble http://mumble.sourceforge.net/ [22:36] well and no it just keeps trying to connect before it was getting connectivity but it was because i modified /etc/networking/interface so it was auto eth0 and iface eth0 inet dhcp [22:37] but if i change it back to the default of auto lo and iface lo inet loopback it wont connect anymore [22:37] but even if it does connect as above i still can't talk to anything [22:37] *and now [22:37] Actpa: If you want to install Teamspeak you'll have to use Wine. [22:37] TechMonger, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [22:37] Maratus, there is a linux version [22:37] Ah, I was not aware. [22:37] Maratus: no [22:38] eatingth_: The point of interest is the configuration line , what driver is loaded ? Mine " configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=8139too " . [22:39] Martaus: What's wine? [22:39] Ohh [22:39] Actpa: you dont need that. read the bots message [22:39] kll: I did that but idk how to connect to a ts server [22:39] Bashing-om: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=r8169 driverversion-2.3K-NAPI duplex=full firmware=rtl8168g-2_0.0.1 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes port=MII speed=1Gbit/s [22:39] Actpa: like you would on a windows machine [22:40] kll: I've never connected like that via windows. [22:40] Actpa: you never used the teamspeak client on windows? [22:41] kll: I have but it says to connect like teamspeak:// [22:41] Actpa: just click in the client and enter the ip and port [22:41] eatingth_: Realtek .. driver is loaded . Are you running with network-manager (GUI) ? Have to tried to re-configure the networking from the app ? [22:42] kll: Where do I install it at.. [22:42] Actpa: install what? [22:42] Bashing-om: yeah i have the network-manager GUI started. I am using the default settings on DHCP auto [22:42] kll: nevermind. [22:43] Actpa: are you trolling? you said you installed teamspeak client already and cant connect. now you say you dont have it installed? [22:44] kll: I never installed the TS client I'm here to find out how lol [22:44] Bashing-om: I can set it to manual and then set all my info and it connect right away. however if i ping 8.8.8.8 i get connect:network is uncreachable [22:44] eatingth_: Is the correct interface identified . What does 'ifconfig' report as the interface name ? [22:45] Actpa: like most programs teamspeak got a menu. most of the menu entries are self explaining. [22:45] Bashing-om: I have eth0 and lo listed. with eth0 showing the ip address that i manually set. [22:46] Bashing-om: syslog shows No DHCPOFFERS recieved when it connects as well as no working leases in persistent database - sleeping. [22:47] oes anybody know hwo to remove saved settings for different monitors? i plug mine in and it sets it to the wrong frequency. nothing is displayed and there is no way to change it [22:47] Bashing-om: I can also see the driver r8169 report eth0: link up [22:47] eatingth_: Far from knowing network-manager ,,, but in " /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf ' file is "managed=false" set ? [22:49] Bashing-om: yes it is [22:51] Bashing-om: I tried setting it to true as well as i saw that may help and restarted network-manager but exact same thing [22:51] syslog was exactly the same output as well [22:53] eatingth_: Confirm " /etc/network/interfaces // line 2 - auto lo - ; line 3 - iface lo inet loopback - // and nothing else . [22:53] Driving me a little crazy :/ I can see that dhcp is getting an offer of 192.168.1.2 from 192.168.1.1 after it requests it but then just keeps outputting DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 internal 7 [22:54] eatingth_: a value of 'true' directs the system to use manual as the networking method from the set up in /etc/network/interfaces . [22:54] who [22:54] Bashing-om: Yeah that is exactly what i have on those 2 lines [22:54] help please: need to reset my monitor configuration(s) somehow. there is no xorg.conf and no monitors.xml on my machine [22:59] eatingth_: Well, what is set for the nameserver to get dhcp ' cat /etc/resolv.conf ' . And is the symlink still in place ' ls -l /etc/resolv.conf ' ? [23:00] <_dreamer> Have some trouble loading jquery and other javascript into my html file. I've tried both chrome and firefox, but nothing. Googled for a while and found out it may have something to do with file permissions on my ubuntu system. Used chmod -R 775 on my /var/www/html folder. Still nothing [23:01] Bashing-om: hmmm.. I have nothing in resolv.conf but it is symlinked [23:01] <_dreamer> following lines of code have been added to my head in html file. [23:02] <_dreamer> system.js contains only $(document).ready(function() { alert("hello"); }); [23:02] <_dreamer> for testing [23:02] <_dreamer> but nothing [23:03] <_dreamer> is there some known bug of this? [23:03] _dreamer: /res/lib/js/jquery-2.1.4.min.js is not in /var/www/html [23:03] it's not a bug [23:04] <_dreamer> my index file is in html folder [23:04] <_dreamer> from there I take the path res/...... [23:04] _dreamer: that doesn't matter [23:04] <_dreamer> eatingth_: so what am I doing wrong? [23:05] _dreamer: You need to move jquery into /var/www/html [23:05] When I try to CD to my user Desktop with root it gives me an error that says that directrory doesnt exist [23:05] can someone help? [23:05] or set the permission on that directory to one that the var-www user can access [23:05] <_dreamer> but I get css files in the same way and that workd [23:05] <_dreamer> works [23:06] _dreamer: i'm guessing it's permissions are set different [23:06] or the owner is differen [23:06] *different [23:07] Anyone? Please? [23:07] eatingth_: Is your router set up tp provide the dhcp ? I have mine set up such that sysop@1404mini:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf >> Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8 >> # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN >> nameserver 192.168.0.1 . [23:08] Bashing-om: yes my router is setup to provide dhcp [23:08] <_dreamer> eatingth_: various sources I've googled say that the files only need read permission, is that true? I mean my js files [23:08] i'll try manually adding the nameserver see if that works [23:09] _dreamer: yeah but it will likely need to be world readable because i'm guessing the file is now owned by www-data [23:09] <_dreamer> actually by me [23:09] <_dreamer> how can I see all available groups? [23:09] yeah it could be you or root it wouldn't matter as apache is serving it up [23:10] well i guess it depends are you serving through a webserver [23:11] SOMEONE PLEASE? [23:11] <_dreamer> eatingth_: I listed all groups by typing groups. I only seem to have a root group [23:11] Bashing-om: Thanks for all your help i think this is a dhcp issue ill have to look into more [23:11] _dreamer: you typed in sudo groups [23:12] <_dreamer> eatingth_: cat /etc/group [23:12] Actpa: dont do stuff as root [23:12] kll: I dont have access to make a Dir.. [23:12] Actpa: where? [23:12] _dreamer: that file only has root in it? [23:13] <_dreamer> eatingth_: never mind I checked the wrong thing at first [23:13] Actpa: you got all right permissions in your users home. if you dont you have already messed up the system with using root in very false ways [23:13] <_dreamer> eatingth_: I found the www-data group, but I dont know how to list its permissions [23:17] <_dreamer> eatingth_: I chowned the /var/www folder and it now works [23:17] <_dreamer> eatingth_: is this safe? [23:17] Actpa: ? [23:17] Is there a way I can get audio to play on my server ? [23:17] I attempted the ubuntu-server channel but no one responds. === MattTS_ is now known as MattTS [23:18] samthewildone: pulseaudio [23:18] eatingth_: Yeah I do think we have the problem identified, Now maybe run ' sudo dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf ' -> It will present you with a question about preparing /etc/resolv.conf for dynamic updates . [23:19] samthewildone: but you're going to probably have issues with systemd not wanting to install properly :/ [23:19] I still gotta fix my damn microphone.. [23:19] no clue why it doesnt work. [23:20] Actpa: checked alsamixer? [23:20] or pavucontrol? [23:20] Yeah.. I've done alot. [23:20] My internal mic on my laptop [23:20] says it's unavilable. [23:20] on skype.

[23:21] Actpa: really look into the help page for skype the bot linked. it got a troubleshoot section [23:22] And I tried it with audicity [23:22] it didnt work. [23:22] Actpa: k1l: well if it doesn't work outside of skype, it surely won't work inside skype [23:23] tgm4883: thats what i dont understand. It works perfectly find on Windows 7. I came to ubuntu and it doesnt work at all. [23:23] fine* [23:23] if the soundsettings are wrong it will not work anywhere, correct. but we will never know if he doesnt look that up and works the step by step [23:23] Actpa: well Windows isn't Linux, so the fact that it works there only serves to show that the microphone hardware isn't broken [23:24] Maybe I need a select Driver for ubuntu? [23:24] This is a Dell afterall.. [23:24] Actpa: did you go through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SkypeTroubleshooting [23:24] Actpa: did you look into the troubleshoot wiki page that is linked in the skype wiki page?

[23:26] Actpa: that doesnt matter [23:27] kll: well, I looked through it. Nothing relates to my issue. [23:27] heh [23:27] Actpa: m( [23:27] Actpa: is this 14.04? [23:27] tgm4883: Yes. [23:28] Actpa: ok i am out. there is a brilliant troubleshoot page, but since you dont even want to read and use it i lost motivation. [23:28] lol [23:28] k1l: I read it. I told you nothing releated to my issue. [23:29] k1l: well, interestingly enough there appears to be a driver for the microphone [23:29] k1l: I see the microphone under my input devices, It says it's unavilable. [23:29] Sounds like a driver issue lol [23:29] Actpa: it is. [23:29] I was talking to someone earlier, we couldnt find out how to install the driver. [23:30] But the driver link I've got is for 10.10, so unless it can't be included I would have thought it would have made it into stock by now [23:30] Oh dear. [23:32] So do you think I should contact Dell or something? === MattTS_ is now known as MattTS [23:34] Actpa: can you fire up pavucontrol and post a screenshot of the page with the microphone on it?

[23:46] It's okay. [23:46] thank you for trying. [23:46] There doesn't seem to be much indicating why something would be "unavailable" [23:46] I appreciate it. === MattTS_ is now known as MattTS [23:46] I've seen that on my wifi device when the hardware switch was off [23:46] I'm guessing you don't have a hardware switch on that [23:47] Nope. [23:47] I think it is a driver issue. [23:47] They told me to contact Ubuntu. [23:47] I'll try that. [23:47] Actpa, I missed what you were trying to fix. what kind of driver? [23:47] mtn: his microphone says "unavailable" [23:47] mtn: I'm trying to fix my microphone. [23:47] Actpa, builtin or headset? [23:47] Built In. [23:48] mtn: dell Latitude E6420 [23:48] we found a driver for 10.10 [23:48] I already contacted Dell they said they dont support drivers for Ubuntu.
