combatdud3Yeah00:14
icecube45combatdud3:nah, the data on it isnt important.. just dont want to reinstall00:15
combatdud3Fair enough. I'm all out of ideas.00:15
icecube45combatdud3: mainly because my internet is shit and the download of a livecd would be horrible00:15
icecube45combatdud3:actually..00:15
combatdud3I can understand taht.00:15
icecube45combatdud3:I do have a backup in a sense..00:15
icecube45long story short: deleted them while trying to resize them to fit the full size of my drive00:16
icecube45because my old drive failed00:16
icecube45and i cloned it over00:16
combatdud3So you might be able to recover from the old drive?00:16
icecube45going from 120gb to 500gb00:16
icecube45yea00:16
icecube45I just cloned it over like 2 days ago00:16
icecube45and i havnt added anything majorly important in that time00:16
icecube45combatdud3:know how to resize lv partitions? :P00:16
combatdud3Nope00:16
icecube45k00:17
combatdud3Sorry00:17
icecube45no problem00:17
muscais it really necessary to resize lv partitions?  I think you can just add another pv, am i right?00:18
icecube45musca:dunno00:20
icecube45hmmm00:20
icecube45do i have a spare sata cable..00:20
muscaicecube45: you really should add some more specific messages from your system, it might be worth to throw it into the google search00:24
muscahttp://blog.adamsbros.org/2009/05/30/recover-lvm-volume-groups-and-logical-volumes-without-backups/00:24
icecube45musca:I did.. determined its not worth the effort00:24
icecube45considering i have this "backup"00:24
muscaicecube45:  here is a nice introduction to LVM http://www.tecmint.com/create-lvm-storage-in-linux/  Part 6 covers the migration of volumes to new disk00:35

jonathonotrying to troubleshoot an fstab nfs mount. If I mount the share using "mount" it works fine. fstab entry mounts the share but subfolders and files are not visible02:47
TJ-jonathono: Sounds like the exportfs options on the server aren't allowing sub-trees02:48
jonathonoTJ-, wouldn't that cause the manual mount to not show subfolders as well?02:49
jonathonoThis command works "sudo mount -t nfs -o proto=tcp,port=2049 freenas:/mnt/ZFS/Media ~/nas"02:49
TJ-jonathono: ensure the fstab options match those required on the command-line02:53

marriedmanmichighi02:59
marriedmanmichigne females on03:00
Bashing-omAfdal: One purges the old driver, and from the software repository install the recommendd driver . To see what card you have, termonal command ' lspci -vnn | grep VGA -A 12 ' .03:01
AfdalI'm at this Additional Drivers application but I don't see any options to actually do anything with it03:01

Bashing-omAfdal: A couple of reasons, too old a card, too new of a card, a non-supported card. what card from the above command ?03:03
Afdal[AMD/ATI] RV530 [Radeon X1600 XT/X1650 GTO] [1002:71c0] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])03:03

MaratusDoes anyone know how to switch to the new AMDGPU drivers?03:08
MaratusAlso, glxinfo tells me I'm running with llvmpipe, doesn't that mean I'm running in software rendering?03:08
chaos7theoryOn Beta1 for base Wily, there are 3 source images. What're they for (why are there three)?03:12
Bashing-omAfdal: Yep, too old, ATI does not offer a driver any longer , ( I am in the same boat ), last update for that driver was 2010 .03:13
yakamowhich version of ubuntu uses systemd?03:13
chaos7theoryyakamo: Starting with 15.0403:14
yakamook kewl03:14
yakamothanks chaos7theory03:14
Bashing-omMaratus: Depends on the card. ATI has dropped support for many . ( open source works great ) to see what card you have ' lspci -vnn | grep VGA -A 12  ' .03:16
lrer123testtest03:18
lreranyone on?03:18
MaratusBashing-om: My card is an r9 390, I know that because I built the computer and chose it for its OpenCL performance, but not a single application recognizes that it even exists.03:18
jonathonoTJ-, tried with specified option (was using "auto") and still get no subfolders. Mount tells me it is mounted. This is my fstab line "192.168.3.15:/mnt/ZFS/Media /home/jonathon/nas nfs rw,proto=tcp,port=2049 0 0"03:19

=== abrahams_ is now known as abrahams
LambdaComplexMaratus: Does lspci recognize it exists?03:20
TJ-jonathono: so you see the sub-folders when issuing the mount command at the command-line, but not when using "mount -a" or "mount /home/jonathon/nas" ?03:20
jonathonoTJ-, correct03:20
MaratusYeah, but it believes that it's a 290. The two are very similar so I don't think that's an issue.03:21
Birkoffhello there03:22
TJ-jonathono: is "freenas:" always "192.168.3.15:" ?03:22
jonathonomount /home/jonathon/nas/ mount: according to mtab, 192.168.3.15:/mnt/ZFS/Media is already mounted on /home/jonathon/nas mount failed03:22
jonathonoYes it's static, and there's a DNS entry on the pfsense firewall.03:22
TJ-jonathono: Yes; you'd have to manually 'umount' anything you manually mounted, before using that command03:23
jonathonoHaven't manually mounted. Was just wondering if after boot I had to enter "mount /home/jonathon/nas" before I could see folders?03:24
TJ-jonathono: Weird; check "/var/log/auth.log" for permission issues when trying to navigate the mount (also worth checking "/var/log/syslog" too03:24
=== Laogeodritt| is now known as Laogeodritt
TJ-jonathono: No ... when there is an fstab entry you can issue a partial mount command which only specifices the mountpoint, and mount will find it in fstab and use the settings it finds.03:24
TJ-jonathono: NFS is very particular about permissions; I notice fstab has 'rw' option but your command-line doesn't. TMaybe that is the cause?03:26
=== arlen_ is now known as Guest75224
jonathonoFrom online manpage: The fourth field...  It contains at least the type of mount (ro or rw)... is why I included "rw"03:31
TJ-jonathono: read-only or read-write. I think read-write will be the default unless the NFS server has made it read-only itself03:32
jonathonoI'm thinking it is permissions too but not sure how to resolve. My username and password are the same on client and server, but maybe the root mount in fstab causes it to fail to dispaly the subfolders.03:33
TJ-jonathono: I doubt that is causing it; NFS not showing content is usually caused by the wrong user IDs. NFS assumes the user IDs (the numbers) are the same on both sides; both of your commands are using 'sudo' and therefore the user ID should be 0 (root).03:33
TJ-jonathono: If that is the case, check the ownership/perms of the directory: "ls -al /home/jonathon/nas/" - it may only allow 'root' to navigate it... try also "sudo ls -la /home/jonathon/nas/"03:34

Not sure what was wrong before, but vim's syntax highlighting was different so I probably had a stray space or character wrong.03:50
TheMontyChristwell..03:50
TheMontyChristworks in ff03:51
TJ-jonathono: thanks for letting us know :)03:51
jonathonoTheMontyChrist, there should be a setting to use system's Flash vs Pepperflash in advanced settings. Or maybe that is just Chrome?03:52

Aremis117@studentz:  You get the acceleration from the 340 drivers.  They don't skip out on that stuff.  The nvidia drivers are basically the same across all platforms.  AMD is just lazy :P04:08

FoxhoundzHow the hell does something like this get past QA04:24
TJ-Foxhoundz: when you installed 14.04 to the USB did you do it from a USB or DVD installer image?04:25
FoxhoundzTJ-: it was a typical live cd image you get from their main download page04:26
FoxhoundzI think I found the problem04:28
Foxhoundzapparently the new images are meant to be written direclty on the USB media04:28
Foxhoundzinstead of using thrid party tools like unetbootin on windows04:28
TJ-Foxhoundz: OK... what usually happens when you install from a pseudo-DVD image is it adds a cdrom entry in /etc/apt/sources.list so it can install packages without going on the 'net. Maybe that is what is causing the issue?04:28
LambdaComplexFoxhoundz: Unetbootin sucks04:28
FoxhoundzLambdaComplex: I used LiliLinux for this installation actually04:28
LambdaComplexNot sure about that one04:28

Foxhoundzit's not going run on the USB itself04:29
=== ytixdecaf is now known as lelznot
TJ-Foxhoundz: OK, so my original thoughts might be relevant. There is some hardware that reconfigures the media interface for the installer. I've seen it in the past with Dell Poweredge servers, for example.04:32
Foxhoundzwell the installation wasn't at the stage to install base packages04:33
TJ-The initial part of the installer boots and several steps are OK, but once the chroot /target the installer is building is executed the code cannot find the device with the installation image04:33
Foxhoundzthis seems like an unrelated error04:33
TJ-Foxhoundz: you could get a shell from the installer when the fault happened/04:33

vuurdraaknot sure if u can recover if you trow everything away05:10
stupidwolfhi05:11
gnargnarvuurdraak, yea he said i wiped windows 8 but all my partitions are still there. i'm totally new to this so idk. but windows is still working for me?05:11
vuurdraakcan you boot in to windows ?05:11
vuurdraakwould be the ultimate test05:12

vuurdraakgnargnar, then you have probebly done something wrong in mounting the NTFS drive in ubuntu, if you can not see it's content05:14
vuurdraakmaybe you mounted it as root ?05:16
gnargnarvuurdraak, dang. idk man when i installed windows i chose the option that said "install along side windows boot manager"05:17
vuurdraakim confused about what the problem is05:17
vuurdraakgnargnar, you can not boot in to ubuntu ?05:17
gnargnarno, im not sure really. wileee was helping me earlier and i sent him some paste bins after running some commands in ubuntu and he said it looked like i wiped windows 7 but the partitions are still there. Now windows and ubuntu both boot up fine so im just gunna ignore what he said a move on? im just paranoid i messed up windows05:19
vuurdraakgnargnar, are unable to boot up ubuntu or you are now in ubuntu trying to open an ntfs partition ?05:19
vuurdraakah05:20
vuurdraakif all boot just fine then it's okay, if you try to mount an ntfs partition in ubuntu and it is there but stays blank, then you probebly mounted it as root05:20
vuurdraakyou can change in fstab to make it mount under your own user05:20
vuurdraaknormaly the first user has id 100005:21
vuurdraaklike: ntfs-3g defaults,auto,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=002 0 005:22
gnargnarvuurdraak, got it. thanks. another question. how do i change my boot menu to automatically load windows instead of ubuntu.05:22
vuurdraakwill mount the drive in fstab with execute rights on the normal user05:22
vuurdraakyou will have to config grub05:22
vuurdraakuhm forgot what the commands where05:23
vuurdraakyou can configure grub your self, and set other orders in the grub boot loader05:23
gnargnarsorry man im a complete noob, configure grub?05:23
vuurdraaklet me search online one moment05:24
vuurdraakhttp://www.howtogeek.com/196655/how-to-configure-the-grub2-boot-loaders-settings/05:25
vuurdraakur on 14.04 lts right ?05:25
gnargnaryes, thanks05:25
vuurdraakas ubuntu 12 uses grub 105:25
thetravso I have a secondary disk.  I need a command that will remove any existing partitions and then create a new one using all available space05:27
thetravI had something using fdisk, however it's telling me something about the disk being too big for the partition?05:27
vuurdraakinstall gparted from the repository05:28
thetravparted looks like it might be able to do it, but it wants me to give it start/stop numbers... can I just tell parted "start at the start and stop when you've used it all"?05:28
thetravno gui for gparted05:28
vuurdraak:O05:28
vuurdraakweird i have it with gui05:28
thetravgparted is just a front end over parted right?05:28
thetravno, I mean this computer has no gui05:28
thetravssh only05:29
vuurdraakaaah :'D05:29
vuurdraaki guess so yes05:29
vuurdraakyeh sorry i have never used parted in cli05:30
gnargnarvuurdraak, another noob question for ya. i have an ssd and an hdd, how can i tell to which drive a certain file is saved to?05:30
vuurdraakgnargnar, normaly they would be mounted under different folders05:30
vuurdraaklike my ssd is mounted at /mnt/ssd05:31
vuurdraakand my win drive at /mnt/c05:31
vuurdraaki did those mounts my self by editing the fstab05:31
vuurdraakin etc/fstab05:31
renwenhsinhi all05:34
vuurdraakubuntu likes to mount stuf by drive id: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingUUID05:34
renwenhsinI have nvidia-346 installed, which is in 14.04 repository05:34
vuurdraakgood :D05:35
renwenhsinhowever, it seems that resolutions and framerates are incorrectly detected throught HDMI with this driver.05:35
renwenhsinThat or my graphics card bios05:35
vuurdraakthere are more drivers in the repository05:35
renwenhsinSome people have reported updating to even newer nvidia driver05:36
vuurdraaktype in dash: driver05:36
renwenhsinis there a good PPA for this?05:36
vuurdraakand then click on aditional drivers05:36
renwenhsin# driver05:36
vuurdraakto see other drivers to install05:36
renwenhsinhash oops05:36
renwenhsinvuurdraak, yes, however, I believe nvidia-346 is the latest under 14.04 repository05:37
vuurdraaki am using the 346.82 update driver05:37
renwenhsinvuurdraak, I would need a PPA to go higher05:37
vuurdraakah05:37
renwenhsinvuurdraak, oh.05:37
renwenhsinvuurdraak, perhaps I can do update, lets see05:37
vuurdraaki had problems using Nvidia's own installer on ubuntu 1405:37
renwenhsinvuurdraak, yes, its a pain normally05:37
renwenhsinvuurdraak,  only worked on slackware and fedora for me05:37
vuurdraakso not sure if i can recomend downloading nvidia's own newest driver, but you could try05:38
vuurdraaknvidias drivers script worked fine on ubuntu 12, not sure what changed in 1405:38
renwenhsinI see that xorg-edgers has some drivers05:39
renwenhsinthats a ppa05:39
renwenhsinnot sure if its a good ppa, perhaps too general05:39
vuurdraaknot tried any of them, so idk sorry05:39
renwenhsinvuurdraak, ok found this finally http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2015/06/install-nvidia-352-21-ubuntu-1404/05:42
vuurdraakoww that looks interesting i didn't know there was more drivers :D05:43
vuurdraakare*05:43
gnargnarvuurdraak, whenever i choose to open windows in the grub menu a windows error recovery comes up and gives me the option to start windows normally, or start it safe mode. is this normal?05:43
vuurdraakgnargnar, that would be windows own boot menu thingy that says that05:44
gnargnaryea, so thats ok?05:44
vuurdraakmaybe if windows crashed it needs safe mode, unless you realy did delete windows05:45
vuurdraakbut you said you could boot in to win before05:45
vuurdraakmaybe it only asks it 1x ?05:45
vuurdraakbootin to safe mode and try again, i should be gone next time i presume05:45
vuurdraakit*05:46
vuurdraakiit has nothing to do with grub anyway05:47
gnargnaryea, whenever i i boot windows normally it seems to work. when i boot it in safe mode its weird, but i think im good05:47
vuurdraak^.^05:47
vuurdraakmaybe you need to do a check disk on windows05:48
vuurdraakmaybe some files got corrupted05:48
gnargnar<vuurdraak, u r right, whenever i first installed ubuntu, i would go back restart windows and a message popped up saying some file was corrupted. i did do a system restore and now it doesnt say it anymore? i think i fixed it?05:50
vuurdraakyup :)05:50
vuurdraakjust do error checking on the windows disk from windows05:50
vuurdraakthis can also happen with usb's05:50
vuurdraakif the usb doesn't want to be read , do an error check on it05:51
vuurdraaki mean if u can see the usb in win but not in linux05:52
vuurdraaki need to go, have fun everybody o/05:59

studentzHi There: My setting Ubuntu 14.04 GTX 860M hybrid card. Only driver Nouveau.  I have problems installing  CUDA . I got a blank screen. I'm not interesting in gaming only for Machine Learning. So Far I have tried at least 10 tutorials without success. Thanks13:28
WobboHey, empathy is working perfect. Even Google talk video-chat works, but only between Ubuntu to Ubuntu. And empathy can not show photo's only url. All the help online is for old ubuntu, '14 and older... Any help or tips?13:30
cousteauKartagis, I mean, you also have to include the information of why I'm officially an idiot, otherwise you're not being scientific13:30
KartagisI know. I was only messing around13:31
cousteaustudentz, it's been long since I installed CUDA, but what did you try?  (You have to install it from command line as far as I know, in case you weren't)13:31
AstrosQuestion, I have around 30 git repositories with a remote path set to be on drive D: in Windows13:31
AstrosI want to move them all to Linux13:31
AstrosIncluding that remote path13:31
AstrosWhat would you do to correct their new remote path?13:32
cousteau(also, "only machine learning"?  Is CUDA used for anything other than computing?)13:32
studentz@cousteau: yes I download the cuda 7.0 deb package and use CLI to install it.13:32
cousteaustudentz, with sudo?13:32
BluesKajstudentz, hybrid nvidia,? you must mean hybrid graphics on a laptop with nvidia and intel gpus. aka Optimus,.... install nvidia-prime13:33
cousteau(or better, sudo -H, in case sudo messes up something of your /home)13:33
studentz@cousteau: yep13:33
hillerHi13:34
studentz@BluesKaj yes but I tried last year bumbleebe without success. I forgot about that I'm no interesting in gaming. Now I want to install cuda13:34
BluesKajnot bumblebee, just nvidia-prime, studentz13:34
BluesKajcuda can be setup afterwards13:35
cousteaustudentz, btw, I really recommend you to try OpenCL (once you've installed CUDA); I found it quite nice, plus you can use it in different platforms to compare (Intel, Nvidia, etc)13:35
studentz@BluesKaj: I'm not sure if you mean only select the driver form additional drivers, I did that already13:36

studentz@cousteau I'm plannig to use TORCh which is library implemented in cuda. No options, and I do not have the knowledge to port the library to opencl13:37

BluesKaj@ on irc isn't needed , just the nick13:39
BluesKajstudentz,^13:39
studentzBluesKaj: u mean only install the driver from the GUI additional drivers?13:40
cousteaustudentz, I was suggesting OpenCL only in case you were a developer who was interested in learning CUDA.  OpenCL is a similar solution except more cross-platform (works on Nvidia, AMD, Intel CPUs, and even FPGAs)13:40
studentz@cousteau: Ok but for now is out of my scope. I need some  results for my thesis. Torch recommend cuda 6.5 or older version13:43
cousteau...well, CUDA 7 is not 6.5 or older13:44
cousteauwhat Ubuntu version do you have?  trusty has 5.5, utopic 6.0, vivid and wily 6.513:45
studentz@cousteau I mean bigger than 6.5 sorry for the unclear statement :)13:45
BluesKajstudentz, assuming you already have the correct driver then install nvidia-prime ..it's a toolbox for dual gpus13:46
=== lebeer is now known as darthdeus
cousteauBluesKaj, I don't see how a toolbox for dual GPUs would help with CUDA13:47
BluesKajcousteau, did I mention CUDA? no ,but he needs the nvidia driver working in order for the CUDA to function13:49
cousteau...oh wait, studentz is having problems with the drivers too.  I thought they only had problems with the CUDA install itself13:50
BluesKajI mean working properly13:51
studentz@cousteau: yea BluesKaj is right. I only installed cuda and automatically install nvidia driver. So I guess is a requirement for cuda13:51
=== tinyhippo is now known as darthhippo
=== darthhippo is now known as DarthHippo
studentz@cousteau  & BluesKaj : Should I install the driver from the repo or ppa:swat? or download the run installer?13:53

Chuck_Norrisskinux: again... i would suggest you a clean upgrade :D but you could try an update through the "do-release-upgrade" idk you'll decide15:46
poorUsermaybe it's a compression problem?15:47
WormFoodskinux, it's not the shell that is readonly. Perhaps your file system is mounted RO. If that is the case, you should be able to remount it in R/W mode.15:47
skinuxI don't know how to do that.15:47

WormFoodwhat AvatarA said, but with a mount point appended.15:48
WormFoodmount -o remount,rw /15:48
WormFoodchange the / to whatever your mount point is (figure it out with 'mount')15:48

HardtailHi everyone. Funky situation here. I had Windows and Ubuntu installed on the same disk. The Ubuntu partition was deleted and now I am in Grub Rescue .16:03
skinuxUbuntu partition only has ~2G free, so I'm not sure I'd be able to do an upgrade.16:03
skinuxI don't understand. I can get the system to work using root shell, but none of the desktop environments will get past login.16:04
roryHardtail: The boot loader was deleted along with the Ubuntu partition. You will need to install some boot loader, probably from the Windows installation disk, to do stuff16:04
roryHardtail: Are you aiming to make the system Windows-only? If so, you'll need to run startup repair from the Windows install disk16:05
skinuxI can't backup my project files because of home directory encryption. So I can't just install fresh either.16:05
Hardtailrory: Yes I want to make that drive Windows fully, and then install Ubuntu on my secondary drive.16:06

skinuxGeez. The only issue with using Linux is that when something goes wrong, it's always something big.16:07
Chuck_Norrisskinux: in the whole disk you have only 2gb space ?16:08
skinuxUbuntu's partition16:08
Chuck_Norrisskinux: so there is windows partition ?16:08
skinuxYes, that's what I'm using right now.16:08
skinuxI was using my phone for IRC a few minutes ago.16:09
Chuck_Norrisskinux: can you resize windows's parition ?16:09
skinuxI don't know.16:09
skinuxThere's got to be a way to fix the problem without reinstalling the entire system. The desktop environments or XServer seems to be where the issue is at.16:10
Chuck_Norrisskinux: i meant if you got free disk space in the windows parition, so you can minimize it in order to give ubuntu's parition some room for the upgrade16:11
Hardtailrory: can I make a grub usb?16:11
skinuxProbably, but I don't remember how to do that16:11
roryHardtail: What are you wanting to do with it? Install grub?16:11
roryHardtail: You can install Grub from the normal Ubuntu USB16:11
skinuxWindows has about 100G free16:11
roryHardtail: Take a look here also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair16:12
Chuck_Norrisskinux: you could boot with ubuntu in live mode, then use "gparted" to do that16:12
poorUserwith a partition editor, resize and wait, if you resize an empy space you won't waste time waiting files to be moved16:12

skinuxOkay, tell me this...would reinstalling the graphical desktop stuff fix it? Upgrading would basically be doing the same thing except for installing a newer version.16:13
roryHardtail: Not sure on that. Probably not since Grub is written to the MBR of your hard drive, and it would originally have chainloaded the Windows bootloader16:13
roryHardtail: So even if you installed Grub on, say, a flash drive, it wouldn't be able to "see" the Windows bootloader. But I may be mistaken16:13
EriC^^skinux: what's the problem?16:13
Hardtailrory I am going to get another USB incase there is an issue with my existing one.16:13
skinuxI can't get any desktop environment to load past login. That's the problem.16:14
rorycheck also the integrity (hash checksum) of the image you're using16:14
Chuck_Norrisskinux: we don't know about the graphical installer, but the upgrade would fix imo, if 14.10 doesn't 15.04 would do it most likely16:14

TJ-ribisel: Before you do something drastic, since it is probably almost done by now, check the throughput to the USb device with 'iotop' which reports the I/O speed. "sudo apt-get install iotop" then "sudo iotop" and look at the average write speed for that device17:07

marcvHello, I'd like to get an ubuntu vagrant box corresponding to the ubuntu server 14.04 installed on my production server (not installed by vagrant). Anyone knows how I could know if I have to get the "-juju" box or the one without "-juju" on this page https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/vagrant/trusty/current/ ?17:17
skinuxioria: For Guest account (which I'm using)? Because I get permission denied trying that with my user account.17:18
TJ-AmyFlannigan: It looks as if the scanner driver required is provided directly by Brother, via their support web-site17:18
AmyFlanniganI downloaded everything directly from the Brother website and installed exactly as I have been instructed and it still wonẗ work17:19
ioriaskinux, try with sudo17:19
ioriaskinux, no, not in guest account ... log in via console17:20
skinuxoperation not permitted17:20
TJ-AmyFlannigan: Looking at the .deb package file, their driver is called brscan417:20
skinuxOkay, and what would i be looking for in the output of that command?17:20
skinuxI can't copy and paste the output using recovery root shell.17:20
ioriaskinux, the ownership17:20
AmyFlanniganTJ-: Jes, I have that one and installed it17:21
AmyFlannigan*Yes17:21
skinuxWell, when I did it before it said -rw----- skinux skinux17:21
TJ-AmyFlannigan: OK... so that would be the package brscan4-0.4.3-2.amd64.deb would it?17:21
AmyFlanniganYes17:21
ioriaskinux, that's ok then17:21
EriC^^skinux: try typing DISPLAY=:1 startx in the terminal ( without sudo )17:21
EriC^^see what it says17:21
skinuxYou mean from root shell17:21
EriC^^no i mean from the login17:22
EriC^^ctrl+alt+f117:22
TJ-AmyFlannigan: Hmmm... when you did "sudo dpkg -i --force-all brscan4-0.4.3-2.amd64.deb" did the system report any errors?17:22
skinuxThe screen went back and it doesn't appear to be doing anything.17:23
TJ-AmyFlannigan: is the scanner connected via USB or on the network?17:23
skinuxOh. It started waiting for X server to begin accepting connections and it's repeating no protocol17:23
AmyFlanniganI talked to Chris Were and he told me I can install the packages by double-clicking them and run the install through the software centre.17:23
skinuxOr repeating No protocol specified17:24
AmyFlanniganTJ-: It's over a network, I don't have a usb for it17:24
TJ-AmyFlannigan: Yes, that is possible too. I prefer command-line in a terminal since you get to see any problems, which the GUI doesn't always faithfully report17:24
* WormFood agrees with TJ- 17:24

cfhowlettmarcv, I suspect the #ubuntu-server channel might know more ...17:25
cfhowlettlorek123, same advice ^^^17:25
TJ-AmyFlannigan: I'm not sure the scanner is usable over the network; On the Brother support site, on the page it gives you after the download has started, Item 5 says "Use your scanning appliction by a superuser and try a teset scan" and then "Use your usb-connectrd scanner by a normal user" link. No mention of connecting to the scanner over the network17:26

lorek123cfwhowlett thx17:27
TJ-AmyFlannigan: following that link takes you to a page listing udevd (Userspace Device Manager) rules packages to recognise the scanner, and looking at them they are all specific to a USB connection. No hint of network connectivity for those at least17:27
cfhowletthappy2help!17:27
AmyFlanniganTJ-: I see. That's no good. Hmmm, well, I'd have to get a cable then. I chose a network printer because I don't like way too many cables, but it can't be helped I guess17:28
TJ-AmyFlannigan: there are several FAQ answers for network scanning on Windows and Mac, but no clues with regard to Linux17:29
TJ-AmyFlannigan: I suspect it is possible, but not being able to test the Brother driver myself to see how it operates, I can't really suggest much else as to how to solve it17:29
AmyFlanniganTJ-: Yea, there never was a problem on Windows, but I wanted to quit that completely.17:29
AmyFlanniganTJ-: OKay. Well, I'll get a cable and then report back if I need to. I may try and write to them directly, maybe they will answer17:30

skinuxEriC^^: See anything in my log?17:37
TJ-AmyFlannigan: it talks about the download links on the Brother site being reversed, and when you want the 64-bit package it actually downloads the 32-bit (it should be .amd64.deb for 64-bit and .i386.deb for 32-bit OS)17:37
AmyFlanniganJT-: No, that is okay, I do have a 64 bit system. But I will read it carefully the whole thing17:38

BernzelIm trying to mount an iso file using AcetoneISO but it simply says it can't mount it and suggests to convert the image to ISO (it already is?) or extract the content to a folder? Anyone got an idea on how to solve it?17:44
TJ-skinux: I've not been following your problem; care to summarise?17:44
TJ-skinux: the Xorg log shows it is using the framebuffer driver, rather than a hardware-accelerated driver for the GPU17:45
skinuxTJ: Ubuntu restarted itself, after that I couldn't get past login with my user account. I used older kernel and Guest account to login. I created a second user, after logging into that it goes back to login.17:46
ioriaskinux, amd/ati  graphics ?17:47
HaaPutBernzel, what does file command say17:47
skinuxI'm not sure...amd I think17:48
TJ-skinux: That makes sense. Are you using Ubuntu/Unity ?17:48
skinuxNormally would be Unity.17:48
TJ-skinux: The Intel i915 driver isn't taking over the GPU because "(EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory" ... do you have "nomodeset" on the kernel command line ("cat /proc/cmdline") ?17:49
skinuxYes, I do have nomodeset..I was to set that in boot menu earlier.17:49
skinuxtold*17:49
dhmhtrhs_linuxhello from CRETE!17:49
TJ-skinux: OK, so the reason it doesn't log-in is that Unity requires 3D hardware acceleration, doesn't find it, and quits. It really ought to tell you!17:49
TJ-skinux: I'd remove that from "/etc/default/grub", do "sudo update-grub" and try a reboot17:50
skinuxRemove it from /etc/default/grub first and then do update-grub?17:50
TJ-skinux: 'nomodeset' will prevent the kernel's Intel modesetting driver from initialising, which the Intel i915 Xorg driver needs in order to work17:51
TJ-skinux: Correct. 'update-grub' generates /boot/grub/grub.cfg based on the settings in /etc/default/grub17:51
skinux Well /etc/default/grub doesn't say anything about nomodeset17:51
TJ-skinux: did you edit the kernel command-line manually at the last boot, from the GRUB boot manager menu?17:52
skinuxYeah, I modified it during boot17:52
TJ-skinux: AHA!. OK, then all you need do is a reboot and don't add 'nomodeset'. That should ensure the DRI device node gets added. Then we can work on the issue with more confidence.17:53
skinuxI've already re-booted without making the change and haven't been able to get past login with my user account.17:54
ioriaskinux, lspci | grep VGA  what says ?17:54
TJ-skinux: I'm not expecting it to get past log-in. We're fixing the driver issue to start with, then we'll see what else crops up17:54
TJ-ioria: it's in the Xorg log: Intel " PCI:*(0:0:2:0) 8086:0156:1028:0597 rev 9, Mem @ 0xc0000000/4194304, 0xb0000000/268435456, I/O @ 0x00003000/64"17:55

linuxrhello everyone...when I view the "page info" (media tab) of a page containing a video, I noticed there being a .flv video, that could be played in that info page...but I have no flash player installed at all! how is that possible? I'm a little uneasy about that!18:03
mary_linuxhi!18:03
=== neyder__ is now known as neyder
TJ-linuxr: if it is only a video in an FLV container, there are several libraries that can play that. Flashplayer is required only for Shockwave Flash content18:05
sandeepkrim currently using print screen to capture some images. i feel that quality of the captured images is less than what is on my screen.18:06
sandeepkr is there a way to increase the resolution/quality of images.18:06
neyderhi does xfce use dconf, beacuse there is no dconf dir in /etc18:06
reisiolinuxr: or you could install Flash18:06
MonkeyDustneyder  maybe gconf18:06
reisioneyder: no, but you can use Xfce and applications that use dconf simultaneously18:06
reisioalso gconf18:06
linuxrTJ-, so flv is not flash but a container format with possibly anything in it?18:07
linuxrreisio, thats exactly what I do not want18:07
skinuxHere is the log now: http://pastebin.com/sHfQM1G718:07
reisiolinuxr: sounds like the opposite18:07
TJ-linuxr: FLV is a Flash video, a container format with the content encoded by one of several possible codecs18:07

skinuxWell, ultimately I need to figure out why my actual user account just hangs after logging in.18:09
linuxrreisio, the point is that I do NOT want anything related to flash, and wonder why suddenly "flash" videos are played without flash18:09

ROPAthanks TJ, here it is.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/12315699/18:33
skinuxI don't believe so.18:33
TJ-skinux: "ls -la /home/skinux/.cache/" and look for ownership not being skinux:skinux, or permissions for the user (first 3 letters) not having 'w' in them18:34
TJ-ROPA all good there too! "(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "  USB Keyboard" (type: KEYBOARD, id 15)"18:35
skinuxWell, I can only see so many, but they all have w in them18:36
TJ-skinux: I've a gut feeling this is a key clue and you should take time to check out the ownership and permissions of the $HOME/ directory and those below, and the files in them. I think we ought to be able to come up with a 'find /home/skinux ....options...." command that can sniff out any bad ownership or permissions, but it might take a bit of tinkering to perfect the options.18:37
Rhino_CrashHello everybody  I hope my question has an easy answer :)) There is a running program redirected to display DISPLAY 0.0  I would like to switch the output to the display 50.0. Without stopping that program. The reason is that i am sitting by the monitor remotely and I do not see DISPLAY 0. And I would not like to interrupt the running program. Any suggestions?18:38
skinuxWell, I just tried to send the output to a file and it says there's no space on disk when I know I have at least 2G18:38
TJ-ROPA: at this point the keyboard input should be accepted. X doesn't require switching between keyboards, both should work at the same time.18:38
TJ-skinux: AHA!!!18:38

TJ-skinux: "sudo df -h"18:38
skinuxOn the whole partition?18:39
TJ-ROPA: it must be talking else it wouldn't have been recognised and connected18:39

TJ-ROPA usually because those sellers don't think of Linux as being used by anyone :)18:42
skinuxIt won't pastebinit, says there is no disk space left18:42
TJ-skinux: If the /home/ directory is on the root file-system, and that file-system has only 5% free space remaining, ONLY root user can write any more data to the file-system. That might explain the issue18:42

ioriaskinux, can you ls /boot and see how many kernels do you have ?18:44

skinuxentries*18:45
rypervencheOh wait, nevermind. That made no sense...18:45

TJ-Norbin: No! I get that frequenly too... thought I was holding down the Shift a bit too long18:53
skinuxThat's BS. The system should detect disk space and tell you if you don't have enough for the update.18:53
skinuxI've noticed there are updates every single freaking day.18:53
ioriaskinux, see if there are apps that you don't need  and think about a migration to a bigger hd18:54
TJ-skinux: Gnome/Unity used to do that I know. Whether it does or not now I'm not sure since I use other DEs18:54
ioriaskinux, for example, you keep music and movie on an external usb hd18:55
TJ-skinux: most updates won't use more space since they replace what is there; installing new programs is the only system activity that will use up a few more MBs. Also, check the /var/log/ in case you have some process spamming the log files to be huge. Last week we had a user with 4GiB in/var/log/ due to having UFW (firewall) set to 'full' logging.

JOWHey guys! I wanna ssh into my intel NUC but its IP keeps changing19:06
JOWHow do I set it to be static?19:06
bekksJOW: Its described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/network-configuration.html19:06
JOWI heard I have to alter the /etc/network/interfaces file19:06
vertago1JOW what is your DHCP server?19:07
JOWvertago1 I don't know19:07
vertago1JOW is it your internet IP or your local IP that is changing?19:07
JOWthe one I need to ssh19:07
OerHeksThat guide should be enough to set a static IP19:07
JOWthe one that appears for wlan019:08

pbxi have chrome locked to my launcher at position 8, but periodically a new one spawns and then super-8 just opens a (particular) chrome bookmark in the new instance instead of switching. 14.04, unity, latest chrome, been seeing this for a while. wha?19:09
TJ-JOW: before you left I asked for a pastebin of "sudo grep -A10 dhclient /var/log/syslog" and to give me the last 50 lines or so19:11

ubottupastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com19:12
latkI'm not seeing a grub screen when booting into 14.04, just a black and purple box. Is there something I can do to make it appear?19:12

michiilhey guys, i am trying to get my bluetooth keyboard to be able to wake my sytem up from suspend19:17
michiili habe looked at  /proc/acpi/wakeup but there is nothing in there what helps19:18
TJ-JOW: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12315948/19:18
michiilthe bluetooth reciver is internal (pci i think)19:18
latkOerHeks: Yeah, that doesn't seem to work :s19:18
SCHAAP137michiil, this would require your bluetooth adapter to _not_ go into sleep mode19:18
SCHAAP137not sure how to accomplish that19:18
TJ-JOW: The 'address' is set to the current DHCP address; you might want to change that to match what you have set in the other PC where you SSH from19:18
michiilSCHAAP137: well that seems to be the case anyway19:18
michiilit imediatly works after wakeup19:19

ubottuGRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub219:20
TJ-JOW: you said earlier that you have an ssh configuration for the NUC that has the IP address to connect to. That's the IP I am referring to, that you should set for the 'address' option in the /etc/network/interfaces19:20
TJ-latk: Are you using a USB keyboard?19:20
latkTJ- Yes19:20
latkI just see a black screen with a purple border19:21
TJ-latk: Go into the system's firmware/BIOS setup, enable "Legacy USB" support. That enables the BIOS to process USB events for the boot-loader. Without that GRUB has no way to get the input.19:21
JOWOh I think I got you TJ19:22
TJ-JOW :) good19:22
latkHm, to access the BIOS I need to press delete on the keyboard, which works. Why would that not work for GRUB? Is it different somehow?19:22
JOWIt doens't matter too much cause once it starts being static I can set it all up19:22
JOWI know how to change ~/.bashrc19:23
JOWI just need the IP to keep constant lol19:23
TJ-latk: Because te BIOS drops USB support when it hands over to the boot-loader if "Legacy USB Support" is not enabled19:23
TJ-JOW: OK, well you're sorted thne19:23
latkTJ-: Looks like legacy USB was already enabled19:23
TJ-latk: Are there any sub-options related to USB HID devices (Human Interface Devices)19:24
latkEHCI handoff ?19:24
JOWTJ , I'll copy everything you wrote from the second line on?19:24
TJ-latk: Hmmm... possibly :)19:24
TJ-JOW: Yes19:25
JOWincluding # 10.202.110.0/2319:25
latkTJ-: Giving it a go :)19:25
TJ-JOW: the lines with # are comments to help understand the file later19:25
TJ-latk: EHCI is USB2 support. handoff would infer handing over control to something19:25
TJ-latk: usually the kernel takes over the USB controllers but GRUB doesn't - by default - include/load any of its USBmodules - although it can19:26
latkHm19:26
latkWell, this also appears to not have worked19:26

JOWTJ do you think it's because of superuser thing?19:29
cristian_i saw that in keyboard settings there's the possibility to assign key combination to make something (like program opening or script execution) but the possibility to replace a key miss19:29
iorialatk, you have to take the time right after the bios19:29

BluesKajla00. forget the update manager, run sudo do-release-upgrade in the terminal20:11
TJ-JOW: when oimi was giving you the manual settings for the 'interfaces' file earlier, had he already got to configure wpa_supplicant to connect and authorise to the WiFi network? That is a pre-requisite if there's a manual entry in 'interfaces'20:11
la00BluesKaj>cool is running20:12
JOWTJ I didn't change anything with oimi20:12
TJ-JOW: the issue you have here is I don't think wpa_supplicant has been configured to do that, and until the PC is connected to the WiFi it can't use the network configuration from 'interfaces'20:12
JOWSo you think I should comment those lines I just added in "interface" reboot, get online, then configure the wpa_supplicant?20:14
JOWTJ20:14
TJ-JOW: Ahhhh... I came in part way through so assumed that had been done as I saw him give you an 'interfaces' file for wlan0. That being the case I suggest you simply remove the 'interfaces' file entries and let Network Manager do it all for you. The alternative is to go into the DHCP server/router configuration and set a static IP assignment for the NUCs MAC address20:14
la00BluesKaj>is downloading stuff...hopefully it works...If I don't come back after the instalation is because somethine went wrong lol20:15
JOWTJ Okay so I change back the /etc/network/interfaces to how it was?20:15
JOWright? TJ20:15
TJ-JOW: usually, with a DHCP server, it can be configured to always give the same IP address (called a static lease) to a particular Ethernet MAC (Media Access Control) address.20:15
TJ-JOW: correct20:15
TJ-JOW:  then do "sudo service network-manager restart"20:16
TJ-JOW: that should have NM take over wlan0 again20:16
=== iljaz is now known as Ululus
BluesKajla00, depending on your internet connection speed it could take over an hr to 90 mins after all packages are installed and configured20:17
JOWIt connected to internet TJ I guess that's a good sign20:17
JOWOkay, so now do you want me to click on edit connections and configure things there?20:18
TJ-JOW: It connected to the WiFi ... that's what the icon means. The Internet is an added optional bonus20:18
TJ-JOW: No20:18
JOWI'm sorry maybe I'm using the term internet wrongly20:18
TJ-JOW: To set a static lease you need to edit the configuration on the gateway/router/DHCP server20:18
JOWTJ Okay, is this a file?20:19
TJ-JOW:  do you control the DHCP server? If not, ask the sysadim to set a static lease for the NUC20:19
BluesKajgood old interfaces file for static IP , too bad it's so complex to setup a vpn with the interfaces file.20:19
TJ-BluesKaj: what kind of VPN?20:19
JOWTJ I'm at a university20:20
BluesKajopenvpn with PIA server20:20
BluesKajTJ-,^'20:20
TJ-JOW: OK, so you'd need to ask the IT Department to assign a static lease for the NUC's MAC address. Being on a campus with lots of devices connecting explains why the NUC doesn't keep its IP address. A DHCP server generally tries to give the same IP address to a MAC address if it can20:21
BluesKajTJ-, NM handles openvpn nicely though20:21
la00BluesKaj>okay...this will upgrade to 15.04?20:21
TJ-BluesKaj: That would be a pain trying to shoe-horn all the settings into the interfaces file. That's what the openvpn config files are for :)20:22
JOWTJ okay... you know the IP wasn't changing before, right?20:22
karmic_koalahi ubuntus, does anyone came across the situation that XORG is requesting the EDID data of the monitor 4 (four) times ?20:22
JOWBefore I had to provide my password everytime I connected to the wireless20:22
JOWTJ20:22
BluesKajla00, from 14.04 to 14.10  first20:22
JOWand it would not change the IP TJ20:22
JOWafter I configured so I could connect without password this problem began TJ20:23
BluesKajTJ-, yeah , that's what I went back to using NM20:23
BluesKajwhy rather20:23
TJ-JOW, probably that was luck. Maybe 'before' there weren't so many devices connecting to the sub-net20:24
JOWDoes it has to do with security; since it doens't need a password it needs to keep changing IP so hackers won't do harm TJ ?20:24
TJ-BluesKaj: NM just hides the config file from you; It's in "/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/"20:24
JOWI don't think it was luck TJ I did many many times and the IP was ALWAYS the same. Now everytime I turn on the computer there's a new IP20:24
TJ-JOW: no20:24
TJ-JOW: Why not address the NUC by it's hostname rather than by IP?20:25
JOWI had the IP memorized TJ20:25
TJ-JOW: if the campus DNS is updated by the DHCP server when it assigns the lease, then the name should resolve20:25
JOWhehehe I don't know much about linux TJ20:25
JOWI never ssh in any other way but with the IP20:26
TJ-JOW: a new IP is a function of the DHCP server policy. Maybe the lease reservation time was reduced. Ask the IT Admin20:26

freeone3000I'm following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/L2TPServer , but there doesn't seem to be a ppp0 for tcpdump to attach to under Debugging. I've followed every other step.21:31
TJ-freeone3000: ppp0 is a dynamically created interface name, it may not be the same on your system. Use 'ip link show' to check the interface names available21:33
Hack3rtest21:33
freeone3000TJ-: I have lo, eth0, eth1, virbr0, and docker0. virbr0 (virtual bridge?) is saying there's no carrier.21:34
TJ-freeone3000: If you're expecting the PPP interface to have been created and it hasn't, you need to debug earlier steps to find out why21:35
freeone3000Ah. Yep, it's supposed to be virbr0, that "NO-CARRIER" tag is expected if there's nothing on the other end (because it used to be an actual phone line!), and my problem is that I've not set up cert auth properly. Thanks.21:38

bruce_leeI want to install ubuntu, is there an ubuntu iso-image with less than 700MB?21:53
OerHeksbruce_lee, the mini iso, but you will need internet to install a desktop environment21:54
OerHeks!mini21:54
ubottuThe Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want.  The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD21:54
bruce_leeI can only burn cd and the cds I have are ~700MB21:54
Johnny_Linux haki..saki...HA!21:54
bruce_leeI tried the minimal.iso with ~30MB21:54
bruce_leeit didn't work for me...21:54
MonkeyDustbruce_lee  maybe 12.04 is smaller than 70021:55
bruce_leeMonkeyDust: I guess I can do an update to the current lts?21:55

MonkeyDustbruce_lee  just looked, the 12.04 desktop iso is 750MB21:58
bruce_leeMonkeyDust: :( it's too big21:58
bruce_lee700MB is my limit21:59
TJ-Muimi: for the OS installation? no more than 12GiB tops, I'd be surprised if the installed packages take 6GiB21:59
bekksbruce_lee: So use the server iso.21:59
k1lhaskellberry_pie: uname -a      and then look at the output21:59
TJ-bruce_lee: use the server iso, then install the desktop of your choice21:59

wyoungHello, I am having issues making a PPTP connection to a Windows box via a Ubuntu server (and firewall).  If I connect directly to the Internet (without being behind the ubuntu server) the PPTP connection works.  I am wondering what iptables rules I need for this to work (I am allowing GRE packets, anything else?)23:09
andyworkjux1e: to compile a 64bit program23:10
lildudespideris it possible to recover files deleted from a samba share with a program such as photorec?23:10
Ben64allen: probably not23:10
jux1eandywork: you can't compile 32bit version of it?23:10
wyounglildudespider: It is possible23:10
wyounglildudespider: although such programs will dump everything that used to be on the drive (if it wasn't already overwritten)23:11
allenBen64: Is there any way to use "moto4lin" with newer versions of Ubuntu? I need it to transfer files off my old Motorola Razr flip phone.23:11
wyoungso if your samba server has been running for a while and your storage space is a few TBs then you will need somewhere of equal volume to restore to (it can't be to the same disc obviously ;))23:12
Ben64allen: have you tried p2kmoto? its in 14.0423:13
andyworkjux1e: i can, but i want to target a 64bit build23:13
allenNo, haven't heard of it before. Do you think that might work with an old Motorola w385?23:13
