[00:03] <Voyage> What is the best place to make a folder that is intended to be share with all users on a machine?
[00:10] <mythofgriff> :)
[00:10] <icecube45> So
[00:11] <icecube45> Long story short, i removed my lv volumes
[00:11] <icecube45> anyway I can recover?
[00:14] <combatdud3> icecube45: got backups?
[00:14] <icecube45> combatdud3: of my drive?
[00:14] <combatdud3> Yeah
[00:15] <icecube45> combatdud3:nah, the data on it isnt important.. just dont want to reinstall
[00:15] <combatdud3> Fair enough. I'm all out of ideas.
[00:15] <icecube45> combatdud3: mainly because my internet is shit and the download of a livecd would be horrible
[00:15] <icecube45> combatdud3:actually..
[00:15] <combatdud3> I can understand taht.
[00:15] <icecube45> combatdud3:I do have a backup in a sense..
[00:16] <icecube45> long story short: deleted them while trying to resize them to fit the full size of my drive
[00:16] <icecube45> because my old drive failed
[00:16] <icecube45> and i cloned it over
[00:16] <combatdud3> So you might be able to recover from the old drive?
[00:16] <icecube45> going from 120gb to 500gb
[00:16] <icecube45> yea
[00:16] <icecube45> I just cloned it over like 2 days ago
[00:16] <icecube45> and i havnt added anything majorly important in that time
[00:16] <icecube45> combatdud3:know how to resize lv partitions? :P
[00:16] <combatdud3> Nope
[00:17] <icecube45> k
[00:17] <combatdud3> Sorry
[00:17] <icecube45> no problem
[00:18] <musca> is it really necessary to resize lv partitions?  I think you can just add another pv, am i right?
[00:20] <icecube45> musca:dunno
[00:20] <icecube45> hmmm
[00:20] <icecube45> do i have a spare sata cable..
[00:24] <musca> icecube45: you really should add some more specific messages from your system, it might be worth to throw it into the google search
[00:24] <musca> http://blog.adamsbros.org/2009/05/30/recover-lvm-volume-groups-and-logical-volumes-without-backups/
[00:24] <icecube45> musca:I did.. determined its not worth the effort
[00:24] <icecube45> considering i have this "backup"
[00:35] <musca> icecube45:  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 disk
[00:36] <icecube45> musca:thanks
[01:11] <gnargnar> does anyone know how i might go about getting blu rays to play (i have a blu ray drive)
[01:11] <TJ-> gnargnar: depends on the encryption
[01:12] <gnargnar> TJ-, i dont know, a standard blu-ray disc?
[01:15] <tax> anyone know how to turn off auto-complete for entering tags to bookmarks?
[01:16] <tax> in firefox
[01:17] <TJ-> gnargnar: commercially produced movies etc. are locked down with Digital Restrictions; the software to play them - which requires special unlock keys - is generally not made available to F/OSS projects. There are workarounds by various programs that can sometimes extract keys and decrypt to a hard disk file/memory stream
[01:19] <Flannel> gnargnar: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD
[01:25] <regedit> TJ-: BTW i found the root of my audio issue - was my fault all along, of course...
[01:26] <TJ-> regedit: I never doubted it :D ... tell me! ?
[01:40] <brad__> hello world
[01:48] <jean> hello
[01:48] <jean> new to ubuntu
[01:49] <jean> how can i know my grafic card?
[01:49] <JeanMV> hello
[01:49] <JeanMV> new to ubuntu
[01:49] <xxxreaperxxx> how to get virtualbox?
[01:50] <JeanMV> i'm trying to identify ma grafic card
[01:50] <JeanMV> and find which driver i should install
[01:50] <JeanMV> any idea?
[01:50] <xxxreaperxxx> how to get virtualbox?
[01:50] <JeanMV> also my HDMI is not working
[01:51] <Bashing-om> JeanMV: ' lspci -vnn | grep VGA -A 12 ' will list PCI, and look for those designated VGA .From that we match to the recommended driver .
[01:55] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: i've got two:  Intel Corporation 82567LM Gigabit Network Connection [8086:10f5]  and NVIDIA Corporation G98M [GeForce 9300M GS]
[01:59] <Bashing-om> jean, checking.
[02:01] <Bashing-om> JeanMV: Nvidia advises the 352 version for that card and to use nvidia-prime to control the 2 graphics sets. What release are you on ?
[02:01] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: thank zou!
[02:02] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: how to proceed'
[02:02] <JeanMV> ?
[02:03] <Bashing-om> jean to see what is presently install ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ' .
[02:03] <Bashing-om> installed*
[02:04] <Bashing-om> !paste | JeanMV
[02:05] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12311748/
[02:05] <Bashing-om> JeanMV: Look'n at your http://paste.ubuntu.com/12311748/ .
[02:06] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: Thanks
[02:06] <Bashing-om> JeanMV: Maybe an easy way to install the driver, What release are you on ?
[02:07] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: it looks like i have nvidia-prime seems installed
[02:07] <JeanMV> not sure about the driver
[02:07] <JeanMV> i'm on Ubuntu 15.04
[02:08] <Bashing-om> JeanMV: The driver is very old, and I bet not compatible. zar3 -> what release are you on ?
[02:08] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: i'm using Ubuntu 15.04
[02:08] <Bashing-om> JeanMV: K on 15.04 !
[02:11] <Bashing-om> JeanMV: Do ' sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia* ;  sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo ubuntu-drivers list ; sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' . "list" to see and "autoinstall" to make it happen .
[02:12] <scrum_wing> the utf8 curse... will get you sooner or later - it will
[02:18] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: i entered all your instractions (separetely, could i copy and paste all of them at once?), waiting for the autoinstall to finish
[02:21] <Bashing-om> JeanMV: Best done seperatly, one at a time . The install may take a bit .
[02:26] <wm-rajpout> hello
[02:28] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: i entered all commands, separetely, everything done
[02:29] <Bashing-om> JeanMV: Mow reboot the machine to see the effect .
[02:30] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: will come do and come back THANK YOU
[02:47] <jonathono> trying 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 visible
[02:48] <TJ-> jonathono: Sounds like the exportfs options on the server aren't allowing sub-trees
[02:49] <jonathono> TJ-, wouldn't that cause the manual mount to not show subfolders as well?
[02:49] <jonathono> This command works "sudo mount -t nfs -o proto=tcp,port=2049 freenas:/mnt/ZFS/Media ~/nas"
[02:53] <TJ-> jonathono: ensure the fstab options match those required on the command-line
[02:58] <Afdal> Hey can someone explain how to install proprietary graphics drivers to me?
[02:59] <marriedmanmichig> hi
[03:00] <marriedmanmichig> ne females on
[03:01] <Bashing-om> Afdal: 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] <Afdal> I'm at this Additional Drivers application but I don't see any options to actually do anything with it
[03:02] <Afdal> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2785467/Screenshot%20-%2009072015%20-%2008%3A46%3A34%20PM.png
[03:03] <Bashing-om> Afdal: 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] <Afdal> I:>
[03:04] <Afdal> so it would normally display a driver if there was one available?
[03:08] <Maratus> Does anyone know how to switch to the new AMDGPU drivers?
[03:08] <Maratus> Also, glxinfo tells me I'm running with llvmpipe, doesn't that mean I'm running in software rendering?
[03:12] <chaos7theory> On Beta1 for base Wily, there are 3 source images. What're they for (why are there three)?
[03:13] <Bashing-om> Afdal: 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] <yakamo> which version of ubuntu uses systemd?
[03:14] <chaos7theory> yakamo: Starting with 15.04
[03:14] <yakamo> ok kewl
[03:14] <yakamo> thanks chaos7theory
[03:16] <Bashing-om> Maratus: 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  ' .
[03:18] <lrer> 123testtest
[03:18] <lrer> anyone on?
[03:18] <Maratus> Bashing-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.
[03:19] <jonathono> TJ-, 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] <Maratus> Blender doesn't recognize it, and Krita I believe runs in software rendering.
[03:19] <Maratus> I'm using the default open source driver for 15.04.
[03:19] <lrer> oi
[03:19] <Maratus> Proprietary drivers yield even worse results.
[03:19] <lrer> is there any ubuntu toram version
[03:20] <LambdaComplex> Maratus: 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] <jonathono> TJ-, correct
[03:21] <Maratus> Yeah, but it believes that it's a 290. The two are very similar so I don't think that's an issue.
[03:22] <Birkoff> hello there
[03:22] <TJ-> jonathono: is "freenas:" always "192.168.3.15:" ?
[03:22] <jonathono> mount /home/jonathon/nas/ mount: according to mtab, 192.168.3.15:/mnt/ZFS/Media is already mounted on /home/jonathon/nas mount failed
[03:22] <jonathono> Yes it's static, and there's a DNS entry on the pfsense firewall.
[03:23] <TJ-> jonathono: Yes; you'd have to manually 'umount' anything you manually mounted, before using that command
[03:24] <jonathono> Haven'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" too
[03:24] <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.
[03:26] <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?
[03:31] <jonathono> From online manpage: The fourth field...  It contains at least the type of mount (ro or rw)... is why I included "rw"
[03:32] <TJ-> jonathono: read-only or read-write. I think read-write will be the default unless the NFS server has made it read-only itself
[03:33] <jonathono> I'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).
[03:34] <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/"
[03:37] <jonathono> Permissions on local 'nas' directory http://paste.ubuntu.com/12311945/
[03:40] <TheMontyChrist> how can I install flash?
[03:47] <Bashing-om> TheMontyChrist: ' sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer ' .
[03:49] <TheMontyChrist> hmm
[03:49] <TheMontyChrist> already installed
[03:49] <TheMontyChrist> maybe it's a chromium thing
[03:49] <TheMontyChrist> I'll try ff
[03:50] <jonathono> TJ-, thanks for the help I deleted local directory and fstab line, recreated fstab entry as "freenas:/mnt/ZFS/Media /home/jonathon/nas nfs auto 0 0" and it just worked. 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] <TheMontyChrist> well..
[03:51] <TheMontyChrist> works in ff
[03:51] <TJ-> jonathono: thanks for letting us know :)
[03:52] <jonathono> TheMontyChrist, there should be a setting to use system's Flash vs Pepperflash in advanced settings. Or maybe that is just Chrome?
[03:54] <jonathono> TheMontyChrist, I was wrong about location of setting it's under chrome://plugins
[03:55] <Aremis117> Hey I have an issue in wine and I was wondering if anyone here has seen it/ knows about it.  WHen I try to open 'wine regedit' I get this error "fixme:ole:RemUnknown_QueryInterface No interface for iid {00000019-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}
[03:55] <Aremis117> " and I don't know what to do about it.  I am using the most up to date version of Wine.
[03:55] <Aremis117> join #WineHQ
[04:02] <studentz> Ubuntu 14.04 . Problems installing CUDA Black screen. No for gaming is for machine learning. Thanks
[04:05] <Aremis117> You should just be installing the basic drivers.  From an experience in AMD never get the drivers off the site.  They will never work.  @: studentz
[04:06] <Philosopher> Anyone want to talk about controversial topics?
[04:06] <studentz> Aremis117 I have nvidia GTX 860m hybrid video card
[04:07] <studentz> Aremis117 Still I need GPU aceleration :(
[04:08] <jason_> For nvidia, I find the drivers on their website are a lot better than anything installed from packages.
[04:08] <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 :P
[04:09] <Aremis117> @jason_:  I never had any luck in installing drivers from AMD or nvidia sites
[04:09] <Aremis117> they just never worked
[04:09] <Aremis117> " and I don't know what to do about it.  I am using the most up to date version of Wine.
[04:10] <studentz> @Aremis117 but still I have Black screen. I tried like 10 tutorials without success .
[04:10] <jason_> Aremis117, really? I was having all sorts of difficulty from the different proprietary drivers. Then I just downloaded the .run file from nvidia, ran it in a vt after stopping lightdm, started lightdm and everything was good.
[04:11] <Aremis117> @jason_:  Yup.  I have been a user for a long time and I have never had a good run with it
[04:12] <TheMontyChrist> anybody recommend a good linux scientific calc?
[04:12] <studentz> @jason I'm using nvidia driver from the system package manager.
[04:14] <jason_> studentz, I'm not really qualified to help. I can only speak from my limited experience, but I'd say try finding the .run file for the drivers from the nvidia website.
[04:16] <Silenthush> Hey boys, got a question on that unity launcher. There's a borderline on the right of the launcher, how do I get rid of that?
[04:18] <Foxhoundz> Ubuntu
[04:18] <Foxhoundz> this is starting to anger me
[04:18] <Foxhoundz> I created a bootable USB of Ubuntu Server 14.04
[04:19] <Foxhoundz> It keeps asking me for a cd-rom. I mounted /dev/sdb1 to /cdrom
[04:19] <studentz> @TheMontyChrist  for symbolic I use Maxima, Linear Algebra Calculus Octave. In emacs both of them rocks
[04:19] <Foxhoundz> it worked for a bit
[04:19] <Foxhoundz> then asked me again
[04:19] <Foxhoundz> Wtf?
[04:19] <TheMontyChrist> I'm using grpn
[04:19] <TheMontyChrist> yeah, I use those too
[04:19] <TheMontyChrist> their' howitzer canons
[04:19] <TheMontyChrist> need something for quick and dirty stuff
[04:19] <TheMontyChrist> s/their/they're
[04:19] <TheMontyChrist> :P
[04:19] <TheMontyChrist> man, it's late
[04:19] <LambdaComplex> Foxhoundz: You realize /dev/sdb1 isn't a cdrom, right?
[04:19] <TheMontyChrist> barely keep my eyes open
[04:20] <TJ-> Foxhoundz: Are you installing on (very) old hardware?
[04:20] <Foxhoundz> ...
[04:20] <Foxhoundz> Guys this is a known problem with Ubuntu
[04:20] <Foxhoundz> I am fully aware /dev/sdb1 is pointing to my USB
[04:20] <Foxhoundz> I am using a 5 month old motherboard
[04:20] <LambdaComplex> Maybe it wants it to be at /media/cdrom ?
[04:20]  * LambdaComplex shrugs
[04:21] <Foxhoundz> ok
[04:21] <Foxhoundz> I'll try mounting it on /media/cdrom
[04:21] <Foxhoundz> Hold on to your hats
[04:22] <Silenthush> Hey guys you know in the launcher you have these errors on the side of the application? I'm not seeing that, instead it's blocks
[04:23] <Silenthush> Screenshot: https://sc-cdn.scaleengine.net/i/56914bd2aec16470d53c99469e3f92c3.png
[04:23] <Foxhoundz> Hold on to your hats
[04:23] <Foxhoundz> I mean
[04:23] <Foxhoundz> that did not work
[04:24] <Silenthush> errors = arrows
[04:24] <Foxhoundz> How the hell does something like this get past QA
[04:25] <TJ-> Foxhoundz: when you installed 14.04 to the USB did you do it from a USB or DVD installer image?
[04:26] <Foxhoundz> TJ-: it was a typical live cd image you get from their main download page
[04:28] <Foxhoundz> I think I found the problem
[04:28] <Foxhoundz> apparently the new images are meant to be written direclty on the USB media
[04:28] <Foxhoundz> instead of using thrid party tools like unetbootin on windows
[04:28] <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] <LambdaComplex> Foxhoundz: Unetbootin sucks
[04:28] <Foxhoundz> LambdaComplex: I used LiliLinux for this installation actually
[04:28] <LambdaComplex> Not sure about that one
[04:29] <Foxhoundz> It SHOULD work if I use dd
[04:29] <LambdaComplex> (but if it's doing something besides dd, I probably hate it)
[04:29] <Foxhoundz> or Win32diskimager
[04:29] <TJ-> Foxhoundz: Huh? I thought you said you'd installed Server to the USB? You mean you're just using the installer itself?
[04:29] <Foxhoundz> TJ-: no. I wrote the ISO to the USB to install on a machine
[04:29] <Foxhoundz> it's not going run on the USB itself
[04:32] <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.
[04:33] <Foxhoundz> well the installation wasn't at the stage to install base packages
[04:33] <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 image
[04:33] <Foxhoundz> this seems like an unrelated error
[04:33] <TJ-> Foxhoundz: you could get a shell from the installer when the fault happened/
[04:33] <Armadillos> Has anyone gotten the right trigger on a XBox 360 controller to work in Ubuntu (and Wine) correctly?
[04:42] <vuurdraak> hi o/, when I run the following command in a terminal it runs, when I run the same command in a desktop link, it says app failed to start
[04:42] <vuurdraak> WINEPREFIX="/home/vuurdraak/Fruitypro" wine /mnt/C/Muziek/FruityPro/FruityPro.exe
[04:43] <gnargnar> hello
[04:43] <AmitKumar> hello
[04:45] <gnargnar> does anyone know how can i share files between ubuntu and windows on the same computer? say i have a folder with different types of files how can i go into ubuntu and open and view it?
[04:45] <vuurdraak> 2 ways
[04:45] <vuurdraak> either you can mount ntfs drives
[04:46] <vuurdraak> or you can install paragons ext file extension in windows and mount the ext drives in win
[04:46] <AmitKumar> you can open your windows file from ubuntu but not from window to ubuntu
[04:46] <vuurdraak> u can
[04:46] <AmitKumar> ok
[04:46] <AmitKumar> let me check
[04:47] <vuurdraak> https://www.paragon-software.com/home/extfs-windows/
[04:47] <vuurdraak> ext3/4 drivers for win
[04:47] <vuurdraak> free
[04:47] <vuurdraak> but i dont like to install them and use ntfs drives mounted in linux
[04:48] <vuurdraak> just in case i get a vir in win xD (super paranoia mode)
[04:48] <gnargnar> vuurdraak, thanks ill look into that
[04:48] <wileee> gnargnar, commend good advice is a shared partition.
[04:48] <wileee> common*
[04:49] <gnargnar> wileee, meaning? lol sorry dude this is unoobtu from earlier
[04:50] <wileee> gnargnar, accessing linux from windows with a 3rd party app is stupid is the message.
[04:51] <vuurdraak> it's not an app they are drivers, u can read and delete etc files on ext partitions
[04:51] <Foxhoundz> When Ubuntu asks if a partition is a GPT partition and I don't know the answer to that, what do I do?
[04:51] <gnargnar> got it, but if i was in windows, created a folder in this c:/ drive, and boot up ubuntu and view it i should be fine right?
[04:51] <wileee> vuurdraak, and totally bad support here.
[04:52] <vuurdraak> i warned that i dont like to mount ext in win my self
[04:52] <vuurdraak> but its possible
[04:52] <vuurdraak> anybdy knows why this won't run from a desktop link ?
[04:52] <vuurdraak> WINEPREFIX="/home/vuurdraak/Fruitypro" wine /mnt/C/Muziek/FruityPro/FruityPro.exe
[04:53] <vuurdraak> it does run in cli
[04:53] <ThePengwin> Foxhoundz: Can you run parted -l from a terminal? that will list disk information
[04:54] <AmitKumar> u can do it by fdisk -l
[04:54] <gnargnar> wileee, vuurdraak, it looks like i can create folders on the c:/ drive with different files and open them in either windows or ubuntu. i've only tried a simple text file but it seems to work ok. this seems to easy?
[04:54] <Foxhoundz> Also, choosing to install using the entire disk (without LVM) ends in a failure "the attempt to mount a file system with type cfat in SCI1 (0,0,0) , partition #1 (sda) at /boot/efi failed"
[04:54] <AmitKumar> it shows the disk list
[04:55] <Foxhoundz> s/cfat/vfat
[04:55] <vuurdraak> gnargnar, easye peasy :)
[04:55] <Silenthush> If this was windows, the conversation would've already ended lol
[04:55] <vuurdraak> disadvantage of mounting ntfs drives is that you do not have per file permissions
[04:56] <Silenthush> Actually this whole conversation wouldn't even start with windows haha.
[04:57] <Silenthush> Thing is Ubuntu is working more towards mainstream user experience so that's good, hopefully in time we can see some changes. I've already seen it compared to 5 years ago. Major changes for sure.
[04:57] <vuurdraak> ow i found my solution :') wine /mnt/C/Muziek/FruityPro/FruityPro.exe  WINEPREFIX="/home/vuurdraak/Fruitypro"
[04:57] <vuurdraak> runs from the link
[04:57] <Silenthush> Vuurdraak, Dutch?
[04:57] <vuurdraak> yes
[04:58] <Silenthush> Same here, Dutchies all the way!
[04:58] <vuurdraak> ^.^
[04:58] <Silenthush> I wish I could run reason on Ubuntu, without Wine. Just straight up native.
[04:58] <vuurdraak> i just surprised my self that fruityloops runs in wine with pulseaudio :)
[04:58] <vuurdraak> reason ?
[04:58] <yerm> hi
[04:58] <vuurdraak> is that a tracker in the repository ?
[04:58] <Silenthush> Yep, google it. Propellerheads Reason
[04:59] <vuurdraak> ow wait u wish ;)
[04:59] <Silenthush> Nah it's not for Linux, Windows/Mac only at the moment :(
[04:59] <vuurdraak> :(
[04:59] <Silenthush> I use Reason on windows though usually.
[04:59] <vuurdraak> yeh i need a more modern tracker this is an old fruity
[04:59] <vuurdraak> but i got used to it :)
[04:59] <yerm> hi
[04:59] <Silenthush> You got any of your music online?
[04:59] <vuurdraak> yes
[04:59] <vuurdraak> let me get a link
[05:00] <Silenthush> Share man! :)
[05:00] <yerm> fuck
[05:00] <Silenthush> Hey Yerm :)

[05:00] <Silenthush> Do you have a soundclick URL or anything like that?
[05:00] <yerm> u re use ubuntu :V?
[05:01] <Silenthush> Yes Yerm :)
[05:01] <vuurdraak> gokkast.tk url is death btw, and i cant change the webside anymore, but the music is still there, tele2 killed the homepages :'D
[05:01] <Silenthush> Haha
[05:01] <Silenthush> I'm on your site now listening.
[05:01] <yerm> re u use ubuntu 14.04.3 lts or other version of ubuntu?
[05:01] <vuurdraak> ^.^
[05:02] <Silenthush> 14.04.03 :)
[05:02] <yerm> do you use facebook?
[05:02] <Silenthush> Yes Yerm, you want my facebook?
[05:02] <Silenthush> lol
[05:02] <yerm> yes
[05:02] <Silenthush> Ok man, here you go: *gives dust*
[05:02] <vuurdraak> you make music silent ?
[05:02] <Silenthush> Yes I do.
[05:03] <vuurdraak> :) you have it online ?
[05:03] <Silenthush> Let me see if I can find a snippet, sec.
[05:03] <somsip> !ot | Silenthush & vuurdraak (can this go to pm please)
[05:03] <vuurdraak> okay sorry somsip
[05:03] <somsip> vuurdraak: thanks
[05:05] <Silenthush> Yes somsip, thanks.
[05:05] <yerm> re u use ubuntu gnome or unity?
[05:07] <gnargnar> wileee, u said earlier that i i wiped windows on my c://. how do i fix it?
[05:09] <vuurdraak> whiped windows :O ?
[05:10] <vuurdraak> not sure if u can recover if you trow everything away
[05:11] <stupidwolf> hi
[05:11] <gnargnar> vuurdraak, 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] <vuurdraak> can you boot in to windows ?
[05:12] <vuurdraak> would be the ultimate test
[05:13] <gnargnar> vuurdraak, yea i can still boot up windows
[05:13] <stupidwolf> is there a website for learning ubuntu for beginner
[05:13] <somsip> !manual | stupidwolf (can be a good start)
[05:14] <stupidwolf> thanks
[05:14] <vuurdraak> gnargnar, then you have probebly done something wrong in mounting the NTFS drive in ubuntu, if you can not see it's content
[05:16] <vuurdraak> maybe you mounted it as root ?
[05:17] <gnargnar> vuurdraak, dang. idk man when i installed windows i chose the option that said "install along side windows boot manager"
[05:17] <vuurdraak> im confused about what the problem is
[05:17] <vuurdraak> gnargnar, you can not boot in to ubuntu ?
[05:19] <gnargnar> no, 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 windows
[05:19] <vuurdraak> gnargnar, are unable to boot up ubuntu or you are now in ubuntu trying to open an ntfs partition ?
[05:20] <vuurdraak> ah
[05:20] <vuurdraak> if 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 root
[05:20] <vuurdraak> you can change in fstab to make it mount under your own user
[05:21] <vuurdraak> normaly the first user has id 1000
[05:22] <vuurdraak> like: ntfs-3g defaults,auto,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=002 0 0
[05:22] <gnargnar> vuurdraak, got it. thanks. another question. how do i change my boot menu to automatically load windows instead of ubuntu.
[05:22] <vuurdraak> will mount the drive in fstab with execute rights on the normal user
[05:22] <vuurdraak> you will have to config grub
[05:23] <vuurdraak> uhm forgot what the commands where
[05:23] <vuurdraak> you can configure grub your self, and set other orders in the grub boot loader
[05:23] <gnargnar> sorry man im a complete noob, configure grub?
[05:24] <vuurdraak> let me search online one moment
[05:25] <vuurdraak> http://www.howtogeek.com/196655/how-to-configure-the-grub2-boot-loaders-settings/
[05:25] <vuurdraak> ur on 14.04 lts right ?
[05:25] <gnargnar> yes, thanks
[05:25] <vuurdraak> as ubuntu 12 uses grub 1
[05:27] <thetrav> so I have a secondary disk.  I need a command that will remove any existing partitions and then create a new one using all available space
[05:27] <thetrav> I had something using fdisk, however it's telling me something about the disk being too big for the partition?
[05:28] <vuurdraak> install gparted from the repository
[05:28] <thetrav> parted 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] <thetrav> no gui for gparted
[05:28] <vuurdraak> :O
[05:28] <vuurdraak> weird i have it with gui
[05:28] <thetrav> gparted is just a front end over parted right?
[05:28] <thetrav> no, I mean this computer has no gui
[05:29] <thetrav> ssh only
[05:29] <vuurdraak> aaah :'D
[05:29] <vuurdraak> i guess so yes
[05:30] <vuurdraak> yeh sorry i have never used parted in cli
[05:30] <gnargnar> vuurdraak, 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] <vuurdraak> gnargnar, normaly they would be mounted under different folders
[05:31] <vuurdraak> like my ssd is mounted at /mnt/ssd
[05:31] <vuurdraak> and my win drive at /mnt/c
[05:31] <vuurdraak> i did those mounts my self by editing the fstab
[05:31] <vuurdraak> in etc/fstab
[05:34] <renwenhsin> hi all
[05:34] <vuurdraak> ubuntu likes to mount stuf by drive id: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingUUID
[05:34] <renwenhsin> I have nvidia-346 installed, which is in 14.04 repository
[05:35] <vuurdraak> good :D
[05:35] <renwenhsin> however, it seems that resolutions and framerates are incorrectly detected throught HDMI with this driver.
[05:35] <renwenhsin> That or my graphics card bios
[05:35] <vuurdraak> there are more drivers in the repository
[05:36] <renwenhsin> Some people have reported updating to even newer nvidia driver
[05:36] <vuurdraak> type in dash: driver
[05:36] <renwenhsin> is there a good PPA for this?
[05:36] <vuurdraak> and then click on aditional drivers
[05:36] <renwenhsin> # driver
[05:36] <vuurdraak> to see other drivers to install
[05:36] <renwenhsin> hash oops
[05:37] <renwenhsin> vuurdraak, yes, however, I believe nvidia-346 is the latest under 14.04 repository
[05:37] <vuurdraak> i am using the 346.82 update driver
[05:37] <renwenhsin> vuurdraak, I would need a PPA to go higher
[05:37] <vuurdraak> ah
[05:37] <renwenhsin> vuurdraak, oh.
[05:37] <renwenhsin> vuurdraak, perhaps I can do update, lets see
[05:37] <vuurdraak> i had problems using Nvidia's own installer on ubuntu 14
[05:37] <renwenhsin> vuurdraak, yes, its a pain normally
[05:37] <renwenhsin> vuurdraak,  only worked on slackware and fedora for me
[05:38] <vuurdraak> so not sure if i can recomend downloading nvidia's own newest driver, but you could try
[05:38] <vuurdraak> nvidias drivers script worked fine on ubuntu 12, not sure what changed in 14
[05:39] <renwenhsin> I see that xorg-edgers has some drivers
[05:39] <renwenhsin> thats a ppa
[05:39] <renwenhsin> not sure if its a good ppa, perhaps too general
[05:39] <vuurdraak> not tried any of them, so idk sorry
[05:42] <renwenhsin> vuurdraak, ok found this finally http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2015/06/install-nvidia-352-21-ubuntu-1404/
[05:43] <vuurdraak> oww that looks interesting i didn't know there was more drivers :D
[05:43] <vuurdraak> are*
[05:43] <gnargnar> vuurdraak, 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?
[05:44] <vuurdraak> gnargnar, that would be windows own boot menu thingy that says that
[05:44] <gnargnar> yea, so thats ok?
[05:45] <vuurdraak> maybe if windows crashed it needs safe mode, unless you realy did delete windows
[05:45] <vuurdraak> but you said you could boot in to win before
[05:45] <vuurdraak> maybe it only asks it 1x ?
[05:45] <vuurdraak> bootin to safe mode and try again, i should be gone next time i presume
[05:46] <vuurdraak> it*
[05:47] <vuurdraak> iit has nothing to do with grub anyway
[05:47] <gnargnar> yea, whenever i i boot windows normally it seems to work. when i boot it in safe mode its weird, but i think im good
[05:47] <vuurdraak> ^.^
[05:48] <vuurdraak> maybe you need to do a check disk on windows
[05:48] <vuurdraak> maybe some files got corrupted
[05:50] <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] <vuurdraak> yup :)
[05:50] <vuurdraak> just do error checking on the windows disk from windows
[05:50] <vuurdraak> this can also happen with usb's
[05:51] <vuurdraak> if the usb doesn't want to be read , do an error check on it
[05:52] <vuurdraak> i mean if u can see the usb in win but not in linux
[05:59] <vuurdraak> i need to go, have fun everybody o/
[06:04] <gnargnar> anyone have good resource for cool things to do on ubuntu (noob friendly)
[06:05] <lotuspsychje> gnargnar: lookup '10 things to install after 14.04'
[06:06] <lotuspsychje> !manual | gnargnar
[06:06] <gnargnar> sweet thanks
[06:07] <lotuspsychje> gnargnar: apt-cache search indicator (from terminal) will make you a list of nice unity indicators also
[06:16] <nug700> How do i access terminal history?
[06:16] <John[Lisbeth]> type history
[06:17] <John[Lisbeth]> for options on formatting history try "man history"
[06:17] <nug700> very nice
[06:17] <nug700> thanks
[06:17] <John[Lisbeth]> or if you know a keyword from what you want do "history | grep <keyword>"
[06:17] <allstarsnorks2> Hi there. I'm having a bad header line when trying to sudo apt-get update
[06:18] <lotuspsychje> allstarsnorks2: added ppa's?
[06:18] <allstarsnorks2> added Kodi PPA, and it happened
[06:18] <lotuspsychje> !ppapurge | allstarsnorks2 remove ppa's first
[06:18] <John[Lisbeth]> allstarsnorks2: post the output to hastebin.com
[06:18] <John[Lisbeth]> allstarsnorks2:nevermind seems he already solved it
[06:19] <John[Lisbeth]> I have a chroot of ubuntu, and I am trying to run the command xhost. The version of ubuntu is 14.04 core 32 bit.
[06:19] <John[Lisbeth]> I don't know the dependency
[06:19] <John[Lisbeth]> how can I discover the dependency of the command xhost?
[06:21] <allstarsnorks2> how do I get apt-get to exit if it is running in the background (closed)?
[06:22] <lotuspsychje> allstarsnorks2: if you closed terminal, it wont still run
[06:22] <lotuspsychje> allstarsnorks2: reboots can do magic also
[06:22] <allstarsnorks2> i'm also receiving hash sum mismatch for one of my repos
[06:24] <allstarsnorks2> okay never it's fixed
[06:24] <John[Lisbeth]> allstarsnorks2:sometimes you just get errors in linux
[06:24] <John[Lisbeth]> they aren't all bad. Sometimes they are just helpful
[06:25] <lotuspsychje> John[Lisbeth]: can man xhost help?
[06:25] <allstarsnorks2> I just want to install Kodi
[06:26] <John[Lisbeth]> allstarsnorks2: you probably got a weird ppa
[06:27] <John[Lisbeth]> Steps: 1. Get rid of the PPA. 2. Update and upgrade and reboot if you want to play it safe like myself. 3. Find a different PPA and add it
[06:27] <John[Lisbeth]> or google: "Kodi ppa not working ubuntu <your version>"
[06:27] <lotuspsychje> allstarsnorks2: or join the #kodi-linux channel
[06:30] <John[Lisbeth]> allstarsnorks2:although keep in mind whenever someone tells you to join a channel that typically leads to a dead end. Don't be afraid to be a tad big aggressive. Especially when it's night in the US and the channel is slow.
[06:31] <John[Lisbeth]> It won't bother anybody if you ask for help getting a ppa to work so long as it relates to the ubuntu side of things.
[06:34] <sylvain> hello
[06:34] <lotuspsychje> John[Lisbeth]: freenode is a large network and we cant support all non-official ubuntu flavors in #ubuntu thats why they created seperate support channels
[06:34] <lotuspsychje> John[Lisbeth]: and #kodi is alive right now..
[06:34] <John[Lisbeth]> True but I personally don't mind helping people with simple stuff like PPAs.
[06:34] <John[Lisbeth]> For sure.
[06:34] <John[Lisbeth]> I didn't know Kodi was alive. most small projects like that always have dead channels
[06:34] <orhan> hi
[06:34] <ObrienDave> !ppa
[06:35] <John[Lisbeth]> Hello orhan
[06:35] <John[Lisbeth]> The only reason I don't use !<topic> is that brand new users who are unfamiliar with the shell will find that a hostile thing.
[06:38] <lotuspsychje> John[Lisbeth]: you can speak in general, many new users like the terminal experience
[06:38] <lotuspsychje> cant
[06:41] <pavs> I want to run this when my computer boots up "/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx" how would I do it?

[06:45] <John[Lisbeth]> YAY

[07:17] <Dip> Hi All, I am not able to run a php code into HTML. I am aware that Addtype and Addhandler lines need to be added in either .htaccess or .httpdconf. .htaccess had not yielded results even after allowing Global Override. and I am not able to find httpd.conf (seems it vanished in the latest version of apache) Can somebody please help me with this. Thanks in advance.
[07:19] <pavs> ubuntu apache doesnt have httpd.conf it has apache2.conf
[07:19] <pavs> its location should be
[07:19] <pavs> /etc/apache2
[07:20] <pavs> first you have to make sure that php is properly installed and working
[07:21] <pavs> I would suggest follow this: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu-14-04
[07:22] <Silenthush> Dip, what are you using. Lampp?
[07:22] <Silenthush> In other words, Xampp?
[07:29] <Number5> Hello guys, I have an Ubuntu server running with a replaced network card. Now I have the problem it doesn't detect the network card, although the hardware is detected by the OS. I've commented out all adapters in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-.... file. Now the adapter appears after 'ifconfig' but it doesn't have an ip. I also set eth0 to dhcp for automatic ip assignment.
[07:30] <Number5> Isn't there a standard procedure to configure a replaced network card?
[07:32] <cfhowlett> Number5, #ubuntu-server channel could know more ...
[07:33] <Number5> cfhowlett, ok never thought there's another ubuntu channel.

[07:46] <astdasds> hey all, trying to break software raid(1) on an existing system running Ubuntu 10.04 so I can do a P2V
[07:46] <astdasds> I've removed the disk from the RAID, zero'd the superblock but now I'm stuck
[07:47] <astdasds> the UUID of /dev/md0 and /dev/sdb1 is the same (blkid)
[07:47] <astdasds> how do I set grub to boot off /dev/sdb1
[07:48] <Amoz> pavs, did you get your nginx solved?
[07:48] <pavs> amoz I did, thanks.
[07:48] <kalby> astdasds: mount it?
[07:48] <astdasds> kalby: fstab?
[07:48] <pavs> I followed this: https://www.vultr.com/docs/setup-nginx-rtmp-on-ubuntu-14-04
[07:50] <astdasds> kalby: I've got it set to mount /dev/sdb1 /
[07:50] <astdasds> but it still mounts /dev/md0 on boot
[07:50] <kalby> astdasds: so what does it mean with the grub of your /sdb1?

[07:56] <astdasds> since i'm running 10.04... it seems a bit different
[07:57] <kalby> astdasds: well, maybe try to post it in stackoverflow, i am sure they will have few references
[07:57] <astdasds> mmmm

[08:54] <Fudge> lotuspsychje:  true thanks, ubiquity on a server edition what frontends are available other than debconf_ui trying to install with a screen reader and debconf_ui makes speakup completely silent.
[08:55] <lotuspsychje> Fudge: maybe the #ubuntu-server guys might know this?
[08:56] <Fudge> yeah maybe or #ubtuntu-installer guys but I was after community support first :)
[08:56] <daedeloth> dreamcat4, that bintray thing looks cool, but I'm a bit lost already :p
[08:56] <bcc> is there a way to change hostname on the crontab email subject? As it uses hostname, I would like to override it with a user set ENV
[08:56] <lotuspsychje> Fudge: or #ubuntu-devel might also know
[08:57] <Fudge> thanks lotuspsychje
[08:57] <lotuspsychje> Fudge: np, hope it gets solved
[09:06] <logy> hi ppl, anyone knows if you can use clementine REMOTE, to listen music form pc to phone, instead of controling clementine on pc
[09:12] <lotuspsychje> logy: is your phone android?
[09:15] <lotuspsychje> logy: maybe this can help: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/12/remote-control-clementine-android/
[09:15] <lotuspsychje> good morning cfhowlett
[09:16] <cfhowlett> yowza^2 lotuspsychje!
[09:17] <Hanumaan> do any body know with the error in iscsi error " initiator reported error (8 - connection timed out)" only one person is unable to connect .. others are able to connect
[09:18] <logy> lotuspsychje: this works,  i can control clementine  from my phone, but is there a way to use clementine to listen music from pc to phone
[09:18] <lotuspsychje> logy: what kind of phone? android Ios?
[09:19] <logy> android
[09:19] <lotuspsychje> Hanumaan: maybe the #ubuntu-server guys might know more of iscsi issues?
[09:20] <cfhowlett> logy, so you want to stream from you pc to your android player?  doable
[09:20] <logy> yes
[09:21] <logy> cfhowlett: how?
[09:21] <_dreamer> Hello, my wifi adapter dongle is not working satisfactory in ubuntu and I'm wondering why. It worked perfectly in windows 7 but now it turns of regularly. All I have to do to get it working again is unplug and plug it in.
[09:22] <_dreamer> How do I get rid of this troublesome task?
[09:22] <lotuspsychje> _dreamer: ubuntu version and wifi chipset please?
[09:22] <_dreamer> 14.04
[09:22] <cfhowlett> logy, several possibilities.  search for stream + music + ubuntu + android
[09:22] <_dreamer> WNDA4100 Netgear
[09:23] <lotuspsychje> _dreamer: you might wanna search your syslog and dmesg logs to see whats happening exactly
[09:23] <_dreamer> so it's not a common problem?
[09:24] <lotuspsychje> _dreamer: didnt hear of many netgears having issues here
[09:24] <_dreamer> its a usb dongle, not a router
[09:24] <lotuspsychje> _dreamer: fully updated to 14.04.3?
[09:24] <_dreamer> yup
[09:25] <_dreamer> LTS
[09:25] <lotuspsychje> _dreamer: checked additional drivers section, if other usefull drivers showup?
[09:25] <lotuspsychje> _dreamer: maybe check netgears website also for latest linux drivers for your dongle, or known issues/firmware
[09:25] <_dreamer> only my amd driver
[09:26] <Qwertie> Has anyone installed ubuntu on the intel compute stick?
[09:26] <lotuspsychje> Qwertie: best to ask your specific question in the channel
[09:27] <Qwertie> Just wondering what is the best way to get the bluetooth/wifi drivcers
[09:27] <lotuspsychje> _dreamer: i would go searching your logs, to find the error when it disconnects
[09:27] <lotuspsychje> Qwertie: i always recommend installing with internet enabled + updates enabled during setup + 3rd party software enabled
[09:28] <lotuspsychje> Qwertie: and choosing LTS might be also good choice
[09:28] <Qwertie> lotuspsychje, Its a bit hard to install updates with out any way to connect to the internet
[09:28] <_dreamer> lotuspsychje: drivers are only available for windows
[09:28] <lotuspsychje> Qwertie: depends wich wifi chipset it is
[09:29] <Qwertie> I think you need to get the drivers from the chipset manufacture
[09:29] <lotuspsychje> Qwertie: wich chipset are we talking about?
[09:29] <lotuspsychje> _dreamer: ok mate, dig out your logs then
[09:29] <_dreamer> lotuspsychje: is it enough to check /var/log/messages?
[09:30] <_dreamer> lotuspsychje: or should I check more
[09:30] <lotuspsychje> _dreamer: i would also go for syslog and dmesg
[09:30] <rozie> hello. I just hit http://askubuntu.com/questions/670106/igb-detected-tx-unit-hang but. I use 14.10 LTS and have spare machine to perform tests
[09:30] <lotuspsychje> _dreamer: or even beter to tail -f /var/log/syslog in realtime
[09:30] <lotuspsychje> !eol | rozie
[09:30] <cfhowlett> rozie, why?  14.10 is completely unsupported!
[09:31] <rozie> on production "solved" by downgrading to 3.16.0-46-generic
[09:31] <rozie> sorry! it's 14.04 LTS
[09:33] <_dreamer> lotuspsychje: so I should check at the moment of it happening again?
[09:33] <rozie> I wonder how to handle this situation. will it be fixed in next kernel release?
[09:33] <lotuspsychje> _dreamer: yes, would be reccomended to see whats happening at the time of your wifi disconnect
[09:34] <cfhowlett> rozie, #ubuntu-server might have more answers ...
[09:40] <rozie> cfhowlett: thx
[09:40] <cfhowlett> rozie, happy
[09:40] <cfhowlett> happy2help!
[09:40] <livcd> is there some ubuntu core channel ?
[09:41] <cfhowlett> !snappy | livcd
[09:42] <John[Lisbeth]> You guys I am having an issue with crouton but the crouton chat is dead
[09:42] <John[Lisbeth]> It's running an install script that is basically like a debootstrap that does a few extra things on the host machine as well
[09:42] <shrilaxmi> howdy! I've a problem in hexchat. In one of the channels , only 1 user's message is not received. Maybe, I'd done somthing. How to fix it? I could send text to that user
[09:43] <John[Lisbeth]> I am stuck in parts of the script that connect to archive.ubuntu.com
[09:43] <cfhowlett> shrilaxmi, did you /ignore that user??
[09:43] <John[Lisbeth]> it lags for about 15 minutes minutes each time It makes a transaction, and it is taking forever for me to debug my actual issue
[09:43] <shrilaxmi> i dunno how to check
[09:43] <John[Lisbeth]> So I need to figure out why archive.ubuntu.com is being so slow
[09:44] <cfhowlett> shrilaxmi, hexchat > window > ignore list ...
[09:44] <John[Lisbeth]> I've literally spent almost 17 hours straight staring at archive.ubuntu.com waiting for it to load
[09:45] <John[Lisbeth]> and once it goes past 0% it happens instantly
[09:45] <John[Lisbeth]> so I would appreciate any advice, as I am going to be doing an all nighter on this one
[09:45] <John[Lisbeth]> This is a bourne shell shell script
[09:45] <John[Lisbeth]> so I can just show you the commands
[09:45] <cfhowlett> John[Lisbeth], nope
[09:45] <cfhowlett> John[Lisbeth], first ping archive.ubuntu.com
[09:46] <motaka2> Hello, if I upgrade ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04 lts will I loose the LAMP and other sofwares?
[09:46] <John[Lisbeth]> I freaking bet my router blocks ping
[09:46] <cfhowlett> motaka2, no.
[09:46] <John[Lisbeth]> lets see
[09:46] <shrilaxmi> cfhowlett: Yep , that user was added in the ignore list. Removed. Now i receive his texts
[09:46] <shrilaxmi> cfhowlett: thank you
[09:46] <cfhowlett> shrilaxmi, happy2help!
[09:46] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: always safe to have backups surely for LAMP
[09:46] <John[Lisbeth]> Really fast, no packet loss
[09:47] <John[Lisbeth]> Ping works fine. I can also visit archive.ubuntu.com just fine in the browser
[09:47] <cfhowlett> John[Lisbeth], might want to verify with  bourne channel on how you're invoking the repo
[09:47] <John[Lisbeth]> Can I show you the script? I've been pouring over it
[09:47] <John[Lisbeth]> it's just crouton on git
[09:48] <John[Lisbeth]> https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton
[09:48] <lotuspsychje> John[Lisbeth]: the ##networking guys can also debug issues if you need
[09:48] <John[Lisbeth]> alright I'll try there first then come back, thanks
[09:48] <cfhowlett> John[Lisbeth], really might want to ask bourne or crouton channels for assistance.  if not irc, then forums or ##networking
[09:49] <lotuspsychje> John[Lisbeth]: maybe its some weird router or edu blocking issue
[09:52] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: How to backup LAMP ?
[09:53] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: maybe this can help: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-back-up-a-lamp-server-with-bacula-on-ubuntu-14-04
[09:54] <lotuspsychje> !backup | motaka2
[09:55] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: keep in mind this is just in worst case scenario, update will keep your /home like cfhowlett said
[09:56] <cfhowlett> motaka2 is running a server, lotuspsychje.  I have COMPLETE confidence that he has reliable and robust backups in place!
[09:56] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: i also 'hope' :p
[09:59] <John[Lisbeth]> I just lost my mouse, sorry
[09:59] <John[Lisbeth]> working keyboard alone
[10:01] <Fudge> take a look at etckeeper as well
[10:01] <HypothesisFrog> is there a log of the messages you get when booting up anywhere? I'm getting strange error messages flashing on the white on black screen while I'm booting, but they're too fast for me to copy down.
[10:02] <Fudge> HypothesisFrog:  type dmesg for the messages, stored in /var/log/dmesg
[10:04] <HypothesisFrog> Fudge does that contain only messages at boot up? Or is it every message?
[10:04] <John[Lisbeth]> the guys in ##networking assured me it wasn't a networking issue
[10:04] <Fudge> that and syslog show basically everything you want
[10:04] <John[Lisbeth]> I am able to wget the index of the archive just fine
[10:05] <HypothesisFrog> Fudge ta
[10:06] <Jackevansevo> anybody know if it's possible to have my .Xresources file point to a particular color scheme configuration? (as appose to having to manually copy and paste in values each time I want to change it)
[10:07] <Fudge> John[Lisbeth]:  they did have some fun with you
[10:07] <John[Lisbeth]> Indeed. They are more thorough than you guys though cause they actually try to solve the problem rather than redirecting it to somewhere else
[10:07] <John[Lisbeth]> too bad the best programmers are lazy huh?
[10:08] <Fudge> so insult everyone here and ask for help at the same time lol, smart
[10:08] <Fudge> what's the script John[Lisbeth]  I missed that part
[10:08] <John[Lisbeth]> I was insulted by being sent away so I feel that we are on the same playing field :)
[10:08] <EriC^^> indeed, reverse psychology type of stuff going on here
[10:09] <John[Lisbeth]> go to crouton in git and open the shortened link at the very top
[10:09] <John[Lisbeth]> it's not in the packages it's above that box
[10:09] <John[Lisbeth]> I can't send you a link cause my mouse stopped working in the middle of my session and i can't currently do anything about it
[10:10] <Fudge> push control v or if youre in a terminal shift control v
[10:10] <Fudge> surprised you dont know how to use a keyboard
[10:13] <John[Lisbeth]> sorry I was afk

[10:17] <k1l_> !details | gioans
[10:17] <John[Lisbeth]> You know the funny thing about me waiting an hour for you guys to help me is that after 18 hours I got it to work

[10:17] <John[Lisbeth]> bye
[10:17] <EriC^^> heh

[10:53] <k1l_> Tug: you need grub iirc. you can set grub to 0seconds timeout
[10:54] <Tug> k1l_, this is weird I'm pretty sure I hadn't grub before

[12:25] <jklm> i forgot my root password
[12:25] <onepolar> hi jklm
[12:26] <jklm> is there any way
[12:26] <KCmetro> I wonder if I can disable chat room messages showing enter/exit room.
[12:26] <jklm> to reset the password ?
[12:26] <cfhowlett> !quietirc | KCmetro
[12:26] <cfhowlett> !root | jklm
[12:26] <KCmetro> cool ty
[12:26] <cfhowlett> KCmetro, happy2help!
[12:27] <KCmetro> I like that "there is no password" ("there is no spoon")
[12:27] <pihpah> How can I install MySQL server on Ubuntu without a dialogue prompting to set root password?
[12:28] <bazhang> pihpah, use sudo

[12:29] <jost> Hi! I'm running XUbuntu 15.04 and need to connect to a Juniper VPN
[12:30] <cfhowlett> KCmetro, what irc client do you use?
[12:30] <jost> I can log in over the web page, but then all walkthroughs fail, since there is an option missing on the web page
[12:30] <KCmetro> pidgin at the moment
[12:30] <colin_000> Uh, so I tried booting Ubuntu on my USB drive but I get the GRUB command-line instead of being able to select to Install Ubuntu, Try Live Version, etc. Anyone know what´s up?
[12:31] <KCmetro> how about you?
[12:31] <nchambers> anyone?
[12:31] <cfhowlett> KCmetro, hexchat ==> /ignore feature works.  might find that useful
[12:31] <cfhowlett> !ask | nchambers,
[12:32] <nchambers> I did ask :p. I was doing that in case it was missed (its happened before)
[12:32] <KCmetro> I've used hexchat, not bad. Is /ignore native to this IRC service?
[12:32] <nchambers> its a client feature KCmetro
[12:32] <KCmetro> for hexchat?
[12:32] <nchambers> for any client
[12:32] <KCmetro> pidgin is a bit weird, requiring plugins
[12:33] <onepolar> agree KC
[12:33] <cfhowlett> KCmetro, /ignore is available and functional in hexchat
[12:33] <onepolar> im using irssi
[12:33] <meng> jj
[12:33] <KCmetro> i've used that too.
[12:33] <KCmetro> it's interesting to try the different ones out.
[12:33] <onepolar> yeah..
[12:33] <KCmetro> pidgin now for me because of other chat services, so just using the 1 app
[12:38] <prometheus> hello guys, I want to ask you, how can I remove that thing on the right of "Activities" in gnome?
[12:38] <prometheus> i don't find any use for it, so how could i remove it?
[12:39] <bazhang> !info gnome-tweak-tool
[12:39] <jakey2> hi please can someone help me setup syntax highlighting on nano
[12:40] <prometheus> i've been there, I can't really find, which to disable
[12:40] <prometheus> could you atleast tell the name, thank you :)
[12:45]  * onepolar away.. got work to do!!~ bye all
[12:46] <lebeer> hey guys, probably a dumb question, but if I install 14.04, can I still upgrade to systemd? or should I just go with 15.04 straight away?
[12:46] <lebeer> or to put it differently, are there any reasons to stay with 14.04 if I don't really care about LTS?
[12:46] <cfhowlett> lebeer, putting it like that, no.  go for 15.04
[12:46] <lebeer> cfhowlett: cool, thanks!
[12:47]  * cfhowlett prefers not to test his sanity every 6 months and will stick with LTS only
[12:47] <ubuntu528> hello
[12:47] <lebeer> I'm pretty sure that by the time 16.04 comes out, i'll have reinstalled a couple of time anyway :P
[12:47] <BluesKaj> lebeer, 14.04 being LTS will be supported long past 15.04
[12:48] <lebeer> cfhowlett: well, I initially wanted to use Arch, but I ran into a few hardware issues and didn't want to spend two weeks settings things up
[12:48] <ubuntu528> Need driver support for epson l220 in ubuntu
[12:48] <cfhowlett> lebeer, do what you do, amigo.
[12:48] <prometheus185> hello guys. can I get some help? I'm using Ubuntu Gnome atm, and I don't know how to remove this thing near the activities bar, I think it's called "Application Menu"
[12:48] <prometheus185> how could i remove it?
[12:48] <PCatinean> after one has added a .conf file in /etc/init
[12:48] <BluesKaj> non LTS releases are supported for only 9 mos
[12:48] <PCatinean> how do I make it take effect?
[12:48] <lebeer> maybe I should just stick with arch :D damn, picking a distro is hard :P
[12:48] <lebeer> BluesKaj: yeah, but my computer won't last 9 months probably
[12:48] <bazhang> what does linuxprinting.org database have to say about that ubuntu528
[12:49] <BluesKaj> lebeer, that's a different thing altogether then
[12:49] <bazhang> prometheus185, not tried gnome-tweak-tool as suggested
[12:50] <lebeer> BluesKaj: I'm mostly installing to do kernel hacking and play around with linux thingines, so I just want to have the latest dev tools and a terminal, that's kinda all I need from the system
[12:51] <KCmetro> lebeer: check out slackware :)
[12:51] <KCmetro> and Kali
[12:51] <bazhang> KCmetro, that is soo offtopic here
[12:51] <auronandace> lebeer: meaning no disrespect, but if you can't get arch up and running i'm not sure you're really cut out for kernel hacking
[12:51] <lebeer> KCmetro: hasn't slackware been beaten by arch?
[12:51] <KCmetro> what do you mean beaten?
[12:52] <KCmetro> linux distros are not a competition. lol
[12:52] <cfhowlett> lebeer, KCmetro please take the offtopic discussion to private chat.  thanks.
[12:52] <bazhang> !ot | lebeer KCmetro
[12:52] <KCmetro> it's the love of all of them, each in their own way. :-P
[12:52] <lebeer> :P
[12:52] <lebeer> cfhowlett: sorry
[12:53] <lebeer> auronandace: afaik those are two different things ... poking around in memory managers and allcators and stuff doesn't mean I automatically know how to get all those different bios/uefi/whatever-windows-bootloaders to work :)
[12:53] <KCmetro> wait a sec i disabled the enter/exit room and it just showed prometheus leave.
[12:53] <KCmetro> need to adjust settings i guess
[12:54] <Norbin> Having graphics issue with ubuntu 15.04 could someone try and help? see http://askubuntu.com/questions/671039/ubuntu-14-04-15-04-skylake-i5-6600k-intel-hd-530-graphic-issues/671355#671355
[12:56] <lebeer> hmm funny, everything about "live cd" ends up being "use a DVD" :\
[12:56] <auronandace> lebeer: a usb stick is another choice
[12:57] <PCatinean> Can anyone help with this?
[12:58] <Ben64> PCatinean: "this" ?
[12:59] <PCatinean> I just asked, after I added a file.conf in /etc/init
[12:59] <PCatinean> how do I enable it without restart of machine to d service file start
[12:59] <PCatinean> ?
[12:59] <Ben64> you're going to need to be a lot more specific
[12:59] <jpds> PCatinean: sudo service name start
[12:59] <cousteau> What do I need to build 32-bit C++ programs on a 64-bit Ubuntu?  I already have installed gcc-multilib and g++-multilib but it seems that I need lib32stdc++6 as well or something else; not sure what
[12:59] <PCatinean> it does not see it jpds
[12:59] <PCatinean> unrecognized service
[13:00] <PCatinean> I just created the file there
[13:00] <cousteau> hmm nope, lib32stdc++6 didn't fix my problems
[13:00] <PCatinean> vim /etc/init/some-service.conf paste there
[13:00] <PCatinean> then service some-service is supposed to work out of the box?
[13:00] <PCatinean> there's no re-loading or anything?
[13:00] <Ben64> again, be more specific
[13:01] <PCatinean> Ben64, I paste this https://gist.github.com/dfrankland/9aa711101ff18bb9f92c into odoo.conf in /etc/init/
[13:01] <PCatinean> after I have done that I cannot start it right away
[13:01] <jpds> PCatinean: You can run init-checkconf against it
[13:01] <PCatinean> ah so that's what I need to do?
[13:02] <jpds> PCatinean: That'll check if it's valid at least
[13:02] <ThePendulum> Hey. I have a dual screen setup and use a 3840×1080 wallpaper for it, spanning my two monitors. However, the Unity lockscreen uses a single monitor and duplicates itself onto the other, malforming the aspect ratio of the wallpaper. Is there any way to set another wallpaper for the lockscreen, or to configure how it should fit the wallpaper?
[13:03] <ioria> cousteau, try with -m32 flag
[13:03] <cousteau> ioria, yes, I'm already using it; it's just that this makefile doesn't seem to find the right libstdc++
[13:05] <ioria> cousteau, i'd suggest to try first from command line gcc -m32  -Wall helloworld.c
[13:06] <cousteau> the makefile says "/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6/libstdc++.so when searching for -lstdc++", same for libstdc++.a, and then stops.  Apparently I do NOT have the corresponding libstdc++.{so,a} in /usr/lib/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/, but I do have them in /usr/lib/i686-linux-gnu/ (without the /gcc/)
[13:07] <cousteau> ioria, indeed, for a .c it does work but for a .cpp it fails
[13:08] <ioria> cousteau, can you file a.out ? what it says ?
[13:09] <cousteau> for a .c program it says ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, ...
[13:09] <cousteau> so yes it's a 32-bit executable
[13:10] <ioria> !info g++-multilib
[13:11] <cousteau> but when trying to   g++ -m32 -Wall cpp.cpp -o cpp-32   it says: http://codepad.org/xYlleD01
[13:11] <ioria> cousteau, do you have this gcc-multilib
[13:11] <ioria> ?
[13:11] <ioria> sorry
[13:11] <cousteau> yep, both gcc- and g++-
[13:11] <ioria> sure
[13:12] <jack78> Hello all !!
[13:12] <cousteau> apparently (and maybe this is an issue with the g++-multilib package on my Ubuntu version, which is a rather old 12.04), the libraries are only on /usr/lib/i686-linux-gnu/ but not /usr/lib/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/
[13:14] <ioria> cousteau, and this libstdc++-4.8-dev ?
[13:15] <cousteau> That package doesn't seem to exist
[13:15] <ioria> !info libstdc++-4.8-dev
[13:15] <cousteau> nor a 4.6 equivalent
[13:15] <ioria> cousteau, oh... are you 12.04 ?
[13:15] <cousteau> yep :(
[13:16] <ioria> cousteau, no idea... then, sorry
[13:16] <cousteau> this is the PC at work and I'd rather not mess too much with it, so I've left it without upgrading
[13:16] <Bernzel> What's the outcome of editing the ptrace.conf file with "kernel.yama.ptrace_scope = 0" ?
[13:16] <cousteau> (it's up-to-date though; I do install the package upgrades)
[13:17] <ioria> cousteau, try some stackoverflow search  ' ubuntu 12.04, g++, 32 -bit' or similar.  wish the best
[13:22] <cousteau> ...if ioria ever comes back, tell them that I'm an idiot.  Apparently I didn't have g++-multilib installed even though I'm pretty sure I had installed that
[13:25] <Kartagis> cousteau is an idiot. okay got that
[13:28] <studentz> Hi 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. Thanks
[13:30] <Wobbo> Hey, 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] <cousteau> Kartagis, I mean, you also have to include the information of why I'm officially an idiot, otherwise you're not being scientific
[13:31] <Kartagis> I know. I was only messing around
[13:31] <cousteau> studentz, 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] <Astros> Question, I have around 30 git repositories with a remote path set to be on drive D: in Windows
[13:31] <Astros> I want to move them all to Linux
[13:31] <Astros> Including that remote path
[13:32] <Astros> What 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] <cousteau> studentz, with sudo?
[13:33] <BluesKaj> studentz, hybrid nvidia,? you must mean hybrid graphics on a laptop with nvidia and intel gpus. aka Optimus,.... install nvidia-prime
[13:33] <cousteau> (or better, sudo -H, in case sudo messes up something of your /home)
[13:33] <studentz> @cousteau: yep
[13:34] <hiller> Hi
[13:34] <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 cuda
[13:34] <BluesKaj> not bumblebee, just nvidia-prime, studentz
[13:35] <BluesKaj> cuda can be setup afterwards
[13:35] <cousteau> studentz, 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)
[13:36] <studentz> @BluesKaj: I'm not sure if you mean only select the driver form additional drivers, I did that already
[13:36] <BluesKaj> !nvidia-prime
[13:36] <BluesKaj> !info nvidia-prime
[13:37] <cousteau> studentz, do you really need CUDA 7?  Because CUDA 6 is in repositories which I guess will be easier to install
[13:37] <BluesKaj> studentz,^
[13:37] <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 opencl
[13:37] <studentz> @couteau I have not tried cuda 6
[13:38] <studentz> @cousteau let me see the spec of the library
[13:38] <cousteau> !info nvidia-cuda-toolkit
[13:39] <BluesKaj> @ on irc isn't needed , just the nick
[13:39] <BluesKaj> studentz,^
[13:40] <studentz> BluesKaj: u mean only install the driver from the GUI additional drivers?
[13:40] <cousteau> studentz, 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)
[13:43] <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 version
[13:44] <cousteau> ...well, CUDA 7 is not 6.5 or older
[13:45] <cousteau> what Ubuntu version do you have?  trusty has 5.5, utopic 6.0, vivid and wily 6.5
[13:45] <studentz> @cousteau I mean bigger than 6.5 sorry for the unclear statement :)
[13:46] <BluesKaj> studentz, assuming you already have the correct driver then install nvidia-prime ..it's a toolbox for dual gpus
[13:47] <cousteau> BluesKaj, I don't see how a toolbox for dual GPUs would help with CUDA
[13:49] <BluesKaj> cousteau, did I mention CUDA? no ,but he needs the nvidia driver working in order for the CUDA to function
[13:50] <cousteau> ...oh wait, studentz is having problems with the drivers too.  I thought they only had problems with the CUDA install itself
[13:51] <BluesKaj> I mean working properly
[13:51] <studentz> @cousteau: yea BluesKaj is right. I only installed cuda and automatically install nvidia driver. So I guess is a requirement for cuda
[13:53] <studentz> @cousteau  & BluesKaj : Should I install the driver from the repo or ppa:swat? or download the run installer?
[13:54] <cousteau> I think the Nvidia CUDA installer already comes with a driver
[13:54] <cousteau> if not, I'd go with nvidia-current; fewer headaches probably
[13:55] <auronandace> studentz: if you haven't used them from the repo before then stick to the repo
[13:56] <awestwell> hey I have a system with 2 display ports and two monitors plugged in It is showing a single monitor instead of 2 monitors. The display resolution is for both and it treats both display ports as one monitor
[13:57] <awestwell> any ideas how to fix the issue
[13:57] <awestwell> not mirrored but combined
[13:58] <studentz> @auronandace: I used from the distribution package manger 331 340 without success
[14:00] <auronandace> studentz: officially this channel can only support software that is in the repo, since it has been vetted and tested
[14:01] <auronandace> studentz: i'm not of much help when it comes to graphics drivers though, sorry
[14:01] <mohanraj> how to convert rpm to deb packages ? Is there any tool in ubuntu to do that ?
[14:01] <OerHeks> !info alien
[14:03] <mohanraj> @ubottu thank you
[14:03] <Pici> mohanraj: keep in mind that even though the package conversion might be successful, the install may not be and the software may not work as intended.
[14:05] <mohanraj> @pici. After long search in internet .i have got epson l220 printer driver for linux in rpm format only. Then what to do if it not work properly ?
[14:05] <Pici> mohanraj: ask again ;)
[14:07] <auronandace> mohanraj: that rpm might actually contain a ppd file which cups can use
[14:07] <mohanraj> I have downloaded epson l220  printer driver software from internet in rpm format. Now i need to install this rpm in ubuntu after converting from rpm to deb. will it work if i use alien ?
[14:07] <auronandace> mohanraj: there is no guarantee that it will work
[14:08] <awestwell> seems my docking station has a MST hub built in
[14:08] <mohanraj> @auronandace.. Then what is the solution ?
[14:08] <awestwell> that may be the issue
[14:08] <auronandace> mohanraj: you haven't tried it yet though...
[14:08] <mohanraj> @auronandance. Let me try with alien and come back
[14:13] <Azjo> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4539576/cambozola.JPG whats my problem here?
[14:14] <gioans> #ubuntu-chat
[14:14] <cousteau> Azjo, seems that there's no file matching /tmp/cambozola-0.93/dist*
[14:14] <gioans> hello
[14:15] <Azjo> oops thats the prior command. doesnt work with 0.936 either
[14:16] <cousteau> what do you get when you do   ls -d /tmp/cambozola*
[14:17] <linuxthefish> hi, does anyone have a latest ubuntu sources.list ?
[14:18] <Azjo> no such file or directory
[14:18] <rory> linuxthefish: http://paste.rory.sh/5hdu/
[14:18] <gioans> hello i am a new ubuntu
[14:19] <rory> linuxthefish: FYI that has partner, multiverse, restricted and universe uncommented
[14:19] <cousteau> Azjo, seems that there's no directory named anything like "cambozola" in /tmp
[14:19] <poorUser> hi people! i've a little issue with ubuntu-gnome and the 2° screen, VGA plugged (nvidia optimus). The second screen refuses to change its resolution, it uses the laptop's one. here a paste of xrandr and a tail of xorg.0.log http://pastebin.com/jyt7gSFv  When i try to change something it switches back to original settings after a second
[14:19] <linuxthefish> thanks rory !
[14:22] <Pa^2> Cannot turn off automounting in 15.04.    edits with dconf-editor do not persist.  Any suggestions?
[14:23] <mohanraj> @i have tried alien to convert rpm to deb. But it failed
[14:24] <mohanraj> @auronandace  I have tried alien to convert rpm to deb . But it failed
[14:24] <auronandace> mohanraj: you can try extracting the rpm and then looking for the ppd inside it
[14:26] <mohanraj> @auronandace. Ya i have extracted and found the ppd file. Now what to do with that file ?
[14:26] <auronandace> mohanraj: you can put it under /etc/cups/ppd
[14:26] <auronandace> mohanraj: you may then need to restart the cups service
[14:27] <mohanraj> auronandace: how to restart cups service ?
[14:28] <auronandace> mohanraj: my guess: sudo service cupsd restart
[14:28] <mohanraj> auronandace: Restart system or is there any way to restart the cups service separately without restarting the system ?
[14:28] <mohanraj> auronandance: ok i try now
[14:28] <auronandace> mohanraj: restarting the system would certainly restart cups
[14:28] <ux2> ello
[14:29] <ux2> Anyone here from India that can help me with Ubuntu?
[14:29] <ux2> India language pack..
[14:30] <auronandace> !india | ux2
[14:30] <ux2> ok
[14:32] <ux2> auronandace:  surely there must be a India language pack?
[14:32] <ux2> hmm
[14:32] <ux2> that channel is dead
[14:32] <ux2> Anyone from India?
[14:33] <ux2> hm
[14:33] <auronandace> ux2: sorry, i've never needed to mess around with language packs
[14:33] <ux2> oh ok
[14:33] <ux2> auronandace: no problem
[14:34] <ioria> !info language-pack-gnome-hi
[14:34] <ux2> ok
[14:34] <ux2> ill wait for an Indian too
[14:34] <ux2> I'm from there as welll
[14:35] <ioria> !info language-pack-hi-base
[14:36] <auronandace> cousteau> ...if ioria ever comes back, tell them that I'm an idiot.  Apparently I didn't have g++-multilib installed even though I'm pretty sure I had installed that
[14:36] <cousteau> auronandace, thanks!
[14:36] <ioria> ^O^
[14:37] <ux2> hi ilbelkyr
[14:37] <ux2> er
[14:37] <ux2> ioria:
[14:37] <mohanraj> @ux2 go to system settings and select language support
[14:37] <mohanraj> @ux2 Then you can install the languages that you want from there
[14:37] <cousteau> for some reason I was pretty sure I had already `sudo apt-get install g++-multilib`, but apparently I hadn't
[14:37] <ioria> cousteau, it's ok now ?
[14:37] <ux2> k
[14:37] <cousteau> yep
[14:37] <ioria> cousteau, good
[14:38] <cousteau> it was an error in the interface between the keyboard and the chair
[14:38] <ioria> cousteau, ^_^
[14:38] <auronandace> cousteau: i like it when people report back to tell others how it went, it gives a sense of closure to the issue
[14:38] <cousteau> auronandace, indeed; helps clarify it was a silly mistake and not a repository issue too
[14:39] <IceBot3000> Will there be a diffence between installing "--no-install-recommends xubuntu-desktop" vs simply "xfce"?
[14:39] <blaze> hi folks :)
[14:40] <gorbash> \quit
[14:45] <kalby> i want to install tar gz file, but i cant do, make install, also ./confiugure. does anyone know how can i install it?
[14:45] <ikonia> depends on what it is
[14:45] <ikonia> I'd suggest using a ubuntu package if possible
[14:46] <kalby> ikonia: so it is basicly configure available, like i do most of the times, now i dont have it [i am tryng to install JDK package from tar.gz]
[14:47] <kalby> ikonia: so how is the solution here?
[14:47] <ikonia> a jdk package will probably not be a "configure" package
[14:47] <ikonia> there should be a "READM" file or docs on the web of how to do it
[14:47] <ikonia> README
[14:47] <anony_user> Hello everyone :)
[14:48] <anony_user> Any good VPN suggestions? (Is PIA a reliable one?)
[14:48] <latk> I have stupidly forgotten the root password to an old machine I have. For some reason I can't see the GRUB screen when it boots - it is a dual boot with windows 7. When I select the ubuntu partition it directly goes to the login screen. This means I cant use recovery mode. How can I get access to GRUB? it is a 14.04 install.
[14:48] <kalby> ikonia: i have readme, but i dont really find the method here
[14:49] <latk> Alternativley, is there some way to mount the filesystem from a live boot?
[14:49] <auronandace> !checkinstall | kalby
[14:51] <mohanraj> @ auronandace i tried putting ppd in cups and restarted cups
[14:51] <mohanraj> but i am not able to print
[14:51] <poorUser> latk: if you press "c" you should enter grub, otherwise yes you can boot live and then reset the password
[14:51] <vedprakash> hiii
[14:51] <auronandace> mohanraj: you should be able to setup the printer now
[14:52] <vedprakash> i m a professional designer
[14:52] <vedprakash> working in photoshop
[14:52] <vedprakash> why should i switch from wimdows to ubuntu
[14:52] <Johnny_Linux> no one is forceing you
[14:53] <vedprakash> yes johnny u r ryt
[14:53] <poorUser> vedprakash: depend what you need the pc for
[14:53] <vedprakash> but i dont want to use windows
[14:53] <Johnny_Linux> learn to spell, ubuntu appreciates intelligence
[14:53] <kalby> ubottu: okay, shoud i just type checkinstall inside dir extracted package?
[14:54] <poorUser> vedprakash: i suggest you to use virtual OS to run dedicated software only windows
[14:54] <poorUser> vedprakash: virtualbox or vmware player
[14:55] <vedprakash> tell me pls..is any software in ubuntu for professional use
[14:55] <vedprakash> ??
[14:55] <vedprakash> for graphics designning..
[14:55] <auronandace> vedprakash: gimp, inkscape and blender are used on linux
[14:55] <kalby> vedprakash: what kind of prefession you have?
[14:55] <vedprakash> but gimp is not a professional
[14:56] <kalby> ubottu: are you there
[14:56] <vedprakash> please research on google gimp vs photoshop
[14:56] <Pici> vedprakash: You already seem to have made up your mind about Ubuntu.
[14:57] <kalby> ikonia: do you an answer for me here?
[14:57] <poorUser> vedprakash: best for you is to install ubuntu without deleting windows, and test if that software is ok for you
[14:58] <vedprakash> i used ubuntu..but i cant install itunes and also cant install 3ds max, zbrush, and aftereffect
[14:58] <vedprakash> these software i mentioned are professional level
[14:58] <cfhowlett> vedprakash, there are linux alernatives to everything you listed.
[14:59] <Pici> vedprakash: Then don't use it. No one here is forcing you.  This channel here is for Ubuntu support.
[14:59] <vedprakash> i think ubuntu is working on home basis only :-/
[14:59] <vedprakash> okk pici
[14:59] <auronandace> vedprakash: they are also closed source meaning the developers don't want to put the effort into getting them to run on linux for you
[14:59] <jpds> vedprakash: Err, you realize that it's the developers of those apps that need to make things run on Ubuntu?
[15:00] <vedprakash> it is not only me..there are many graphic designer that lyks ubuntu user interface but there is no any third party software for use
[15:01] <vedprakash> professionally
[15:01] <mohanraj> auronandace: It shows the error message "Printer 'EPSON-L220-Series' requires the '/usr/lib/cups/filter//opt/epson-inkjet-printer-201401w/cups/lib/filter/epson_inkjet_printer_filter' program but it is not currently installed.  Please install it before using this printer."
[15:01] <cfhowlett> vedprakash, false. many graphic artists use ubuntu and linux
[15:01] <cfhowlett> vedprakash, www.sintel.org
[15:02] <auronandace> mohanraj: hmm, sounds tricky. maybe what you need in in that rpm you extracted but it seems it would be a tedious job putting the right pieces in the right places to get cups to use it
[15:02] <cfhowlett> vedprakash, but again: if it's not for you, no problem.  continue windows/OSX and inform the publishers of the programs you need that you want linux support.
[15:03] <poorUser> vedprakash: if you work with a specific software made for windows only, use a virtual machine. It saves you from viruses / trjoian / malware
[15:04] <cfhowlett> poorUser, not sure "saves you from ..." is exactly how I'd describe a windows VM ...
[15:04] <poorUser> well the danger is restricted to the VM only, except rare cases
[15:04] <cfhowlett> poorUser, much more accurate  :)
[15:04] <ioria> mohanraj, have you tried with the .deb package from here http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModule
[15:05] <epaphus> Hi giys, i was asked to install oracle jdk 1.8 in linux I think I have done so, my output for java -version is  java version "1.8.0_60" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-b27) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.60-b23, mixed mode)
[15:05] <epaphus> Is this correct?
[15:08] <skinux> Anyone know what this means? "[ 155.146 ] (EE) FBDEV(0) FBIOBLANK invalid argument"
[15:09] <cfhowlett> no context >>> no answer
[15:09] <skinux> That is the last thing in Xorg.0.log, wondering if it's why desktop environment won't load.
[15:09] <auronandace> skinux: looks like an error from a framebuffer or sorts
[15:10] <anony_user> How to install Skype? (sudo apt-get skype?)
[15:10] <skinux> No matter which DE I choose, it seems to get stuck right after entring password. I don't know, maybe I need to reinstall a desktop environment to fix it.
[15:11] <auronandace> anony_user: after enabling the partner repo then: sudo apt-get install skype
[15:11] <anony_user> auronandace, thank you
[15:12] <curiousx> skinux:  a quick search gaves me this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/500911/ubuntu-14-04-not-recognizing-installed-intel-graphics-driver
[15:13] <Chuck_Norris> skinux: if your graphic card it's an intel then may be that's link may help ya
[15:13] <Chuck_Norris> skinux: what's is your ubuntu version ?
[15:15] <skinux> I'm using latest version
[15:18] <poorUser> hi people! i've a little issue with ubuntu-gnome and the 2° screen, VGA plugged (nvidia optimus). The second screen refuses to change its resolution, it uses the laptop's one. here a paste of xrandr and a tail of xorg.0.log http://pastebin.com/jyt7gSFv  When i try to change something it switches back to original settings after a second. Does anyone know what could be?
[15:19] <Chuck_Norris> skinux: paste in you terminal:  lspci | grep -i vga
[15:22] <skinux> If I'm supposed to tell you the output, I can't. I can only get a root shell using recovery.
[15:26] <Chuck_Norris> skinux: sry i'm tryin' to get an intell installer but look: https://01.org/linuxgraphics/documentation/intelr-linux-graphics-installer
[15:27] <Chuck_Norris> skasturi: oh! forgot you have no GUI :p
[15:28] <Chuck_Norris> skasturi: did you use a ppa to update your graphic module ?
[15:28] <Chuck_Norris> upgrade*
[15:34] <skinux> Lspci | grep -I vga returned 00:02.0 vga compatible controller Intel corporation 3rd gen core processor graphics controller (rev 09)
[15:35] <WormFood> I find the Ubuntu menu system to be absolutely horrible. How can I replace it with something "normal"? You know, a normal menu, with a task bar, on the long side of the screen, not a bunch of animated crap. I despise my menu moving around on me, when I mouse over it.
[15:36] <Chuck_Norris> skasturi: cat /etc/issue
[15:36] <Chuck_Norris> skinux:*
[15:36] <skinux> Chuck_Norris did you get the result?
[15:37] <Chuck_Norris> skinux: yes i did
[15:37] <Chuck_Norris> skinux: now: cat /etc/issue
[15:37] <cfhowlett> WormFood, sudo apt-get install lxde xfce4 kde-plasma                      logout/choose an alternate desktop enviroment/login
[15:37] <skinux> Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS \n \1
[15:38] <WormFood> thanks cfhowlett
[15:38] <cfhowlett> WormFood, happy2help!
[15:38] <cfhowlett> !flavors | WormFood
[15:38] <ioria> WormFood, something says to me that you don't like Unity :þ
[15:39] <WormFood> I'm a very experience Linux guy. I just don't use Ubuntu. I'm helping out a friend, who is using Ubuntu.
[15:39] <skinux> What do I need to do now?
[15:39] <WormFood> ioria, stuff moving around under my mouse, makes me feel like I'm on a mac. I can't believe someone thought putting the menu on the short side of the screen, and making it scroll around was a good idea.
[15:41] <Chuck_Norris> skinux: ok, you could upgrade to 14.10 or 15.04, or try this old intel installer:  https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/intelr-graphics-installer-linux-1.0.7
[15:41] <ioria> WormFood, was shocked too... but now i like it
[15:41] <WormFood> it makes remote control painful.
[15:42] <Chuck_Norris> skinux: in the link there a guide to install it, if you need help let us know, i would suggets you upgrade to 15.04 tho
[15:42] <WormFood> I hate working on a mac, via remote control, just because most people have their menus animated. It works like crap over a remote connection. And don't even get me started on remote controlling Windows >7
[15:42] <Chuck_Norris> there is* a guide...
[15:42] <AvatarA> seems you're not 'a very experience'
[15:42] <skinux> I can't upgrade directly to 15 can I?
[15:43] <auronandace> skinux: 14.04 can use the newer kernel too, it is in the repo
[15:43] <ioria> WormFood, you eman vnc ?
[15:43] <ioria> *mean
[15:44] <auronandace> !enablementstack | skinux
[15:44] <WormFood> I usually use TeamViewer, buy yeah, like vnc
[15:44] <usuario> hi
[15:44] <skinux> What is the name of 14.10 I should have upgraded anyway?
[15:44] <Chuck_Norris> skinux: honestly idk, i've never upgrade through the update manager (i always did a clean install), but most likely you'll be able to upgrade to 14.10 then 15.04
[15:44] <ioria> WormFood, if win7 is the server... you can use rdesktop on ubuntu
[15:44] <WormFood> ioria, you miss my whole point. Animated stuff via remote control SUCKS!
[15:45] <ioria> WormFood, ohh... i see
[15:45] <Chuck_Norris> skinux: do-release-upgrade --help
[15:45] <WormFood> any remote control. RDP, VNC, TeamViewer, et al...they all suck with anything animated.
[15:45] <skinux> SOB this root shell is readonly
[15:46] <WormFood> my customer asks me for help. They run teamviewer, and watch a movie on their computer, while they wait for me to connect...after I told them to minimize any web pages with animated stuff on it, and not to have stuff moving around on the screen when I connect.
[15:46] <Chuck_Norris> skinux: again... i would suggest you a clean upgrade :D but you could try an update through the "do-release-upgrade" idk you'll decide
[15:47] <poorUser> maybe it's a compression problem?
[15:47] <WormFood> skinux, 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] <skinux> I don't know how to do that.
[15:47] <AvatarA> mount -o remount,rw
[15:48] <WormFood> what AvatarA said, but with a mount point appended.
[15:48] <WormFood> mount -o remount,rw /
[15:48] <WormFood> change the / to whatever your mount point is (figure it out with 'mount')
[15:49] <Chuck_Norris> forgot that, you have to mount "rw" before upgradin' skinux :p
[15:49] <skinux> Can't find rw in /etc/ fstab or mtab
[15:50] <Chuck_Norris> skinux: don't forget to type "," comma
[16:03] <Hardtail> Hi 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] <skinux> Ubuntu partition only has ~2G free, so I'm not sure I'd be able to do an upgrade.
[16:04] <skinux> I 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] <rory> Hardtail: 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 stuff
[16:05] <rory> Hardtail: Are you aiming to make the system Windows-only? If so, you'll need to run startup repair from the Windows install disk
[16:05] <skinux> I can't backup my project files because of home directory encryption. So I can't just install fresh either.
[16:06] <Hardtail> rory: Yes I want to make that drive Windows fully, and then install Ubuntu on my secondary drive.
[16:07] <skinux> Geez. The only issue with using Linux is that when something goes wrong, it's always something big.
[16:08] <Chuck_Norris> skinux: in the whole disk you have only 2gb space ?
[16:08] <skinux> Ubuntu's partition
[16:08] <Chuck_Norris> skinux: so there is windows partition ?
[16:08] <skinux> Yes, that's what I'm using right now.
[16:09] <skinux> I was using my phone for IRC a few minutes ago.
[16:09] <Chuck_Norris> skinux: can you resize windows's parition ?
[16:09] <skinux> I don't know.
[16:10] <skinux> There'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.
[16:11] <Chuck_Norris> skinux: 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 upgrade
[16:11] <Hardtail> rory: can I make a grub usb?
[16:11] <skinux> Probably, but I don't remember how to do that
[16:11] <rory> Hardtail: What are you wanting to do with it? Install grub?
[16:11] <rory> Hardtail: You can install Grub from the normal Ubuntu USB
[16:11] <skinux> Windows has about 100G free
[16:12] <rory> Hardtail: Take a look here also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[16:12] <Chuck_Norris> skinux: you could boot with ubuntu in live mode, then use "gparted" to do that
[16:12] <poorUser> with a partition editor, resize and wait, if you resize an empy space you won't waste time waiting files to be moved
[16:12] <Hardtail> rory I would like to use it as the boot loader for now  -- I am unable to make a windows recovery usb for some reason (on this machine)
[16:12] <Chuck_Norris> skinux: i'm doin' an upgrade to 15.04 to 15.10 xD and look:  Need to get 362 MB of archives.
[16:12] <Chuck_Norris> After this operation, 71,8 MB disk space will be freed.
[16:13] <skinux> Okay, 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] <rory> Hardtail: 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 bootloader
[16:13] <rory> Hardtail: 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 mistaken
[16:13] <EriC^^> skinux: what's the problem?
[16:13] <Hardtail> rory I am going to get another USB incase there is an issue with my existing one.
[16:14] <skinux> I can't get any desktop environment to load past login. That's the problem.
[16:14] <rory> check also the integrity (hash checksum) of the image you're using
[16:14] <Chuck_Norris> skinux: 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 likely
[16:15] <EriC^^> skinux: did it used to work?
[16:15] <Chuck_Norris> skinux: who EriC^^ you xorg error -.- (Hello EriC^^)
[16:15] <skinux> Well, I'm not even sure I have a media for live booting Ubuntu 14.04 in order to do any resizing. Are you sure 2G isn't enough disk space for an upgrade?
[16:15] <Chuck_Norris> show* EriC^^...
[16:16] <skinux> EriC^^: It was all working fine until Ubuntu decided to restart itself.
[16:16] <EriC^^> hi Chuck_Norris
[16:16] <EriC^^> skinux: does the guest account work?
[16:17] <skinux> I didn't even realize there was a guest account.
[16:17] <JOW> Hello everybody! I have a Intel NUC that connects to the wireless but recently its IP keeps changing and I can't have that since I do ssh in it constantly and have its IP in my ~./nashrc file
[16:17] <EriC^^> try it, if it doesn't work, try an older kernel
[16:17] <JOW> help
[16:17] <EriC^^> if that doesn't work it's probably a graphics driver issue
[16:17] <skinux> Oh sheesh. It could be a corrupt user couldn't it?
[16:17] <JOW> * ~/.bashrc
[16:18] <EriC^^> yeah
[16:18] <JOW> please help
[16:18] <skinux> Okay..I'll try using an older kernel and look for a guest account at the same time..
[16:18] <gschanuel> hello folks
[16:19] <JOW> Hello everybody! I have a Intel NUC that connects to the wireless but recently its IP keeps changing and I can't have that
[16:19] <skinux> I'll go try that and be back in a few minutes.
[16:20] <poorUser> skinux: can't you login with ctrl alt F1?? rsync your data to another disk and do a fresh install?
[16:21] <JOW> I get no answer, no help!
[16:22] <Guest4249> Hello
[16:22] <xfceKris> So I uninstalled vlc 2.1.6 from the software center in order to update to ppa:videolan/master-daily, and I get this error after doing apt-get install vlc http://pastebin.com/GR4dr5Yc
[16:23] <TJ-> JOW: set a static IP on the device, rather than have it using DHCP. Or configure the DHCP server to offer a static assignment for the NUC's MAC address
[16:23] <poorUser> JOW: what's your problem? what ip is changing? if is a local lan use a static IP
[16:23] <xfceKris> I should add that I did this to update to the 2.2.1 version that vlc has displayed at videolan.org
[16:24] <skinux> Okay, I got in using older kernel and Guest account. Now Ubuntu is complaining there are 0 bytes available, so my question is, how can I remove Ubuntu Studio in one command. I know I installed it using a single command.
[16:25] <Guest4249> Why is an imagebrand of Mainboard showing before POST suddenly. I did no bios update or similar recently.
[16:25] <JOW> guys, do I change this configurations on " Edit Configurations"?
[16:26] <JOW> Is it IPv4 settings?
[16:26] <poorUser> JOW: maybe you are looking for a custom DNS server?look for BIND
[16:26] <poorUser> JOW: yes, select manual and set all fields
[16:27] <xfceKris> screw it, I'm just going to wipe and install kubuntu 15.04
[16:27] <xfceKris> then switch my nick to KdeKris.lmao
[16:27] <JOW> hehehe now I just got to figure out what to write on them poorUser
[16:27] <Guest4249> Has this something to do with plymouth?
[16:28] <santosxen> Hey Guys! Does anyone know how to swap some keys in a keyboard layout?
[16:28] <JOW> poorUser what do I put on DNS servers?
[16:29] <poorUser> JOW: it's a technical stuff. but is the same for all: ip: choose an ip, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, gateway your router's IP
[16:29] <poorUser> JOW: unless you are using a custom DNS server, nothing.
[16:29] <Guest4249> @santosxen loadkeys
[16:29] <MonkeyDust> JOW  what's the gateway? use 'route -n' to find out  (no quotes)
[16:30] <JOW> Okay MonkeyDust found a gateway
[16:31] <JOW> don't know the netmask though
[16:31] <JOW> Is it the mask number in ifconfig
[16:31] <JOW> ?
[16:31] <poorUser> JOW: 255.255.255.0
[16:31] <MonkeyDust> JOW  what poorUser suggested: 255.255.255.0 will do
[16:32] <santosxen> @Guest4249 More information pls? Im a linux newbie
[16:32] <MonkeyDust> JOW  the subnet mask sets the size of your network
[16:32] <JOW> Okay, now DNS servers?
[16:33] <skinux> Chuck_Norris: I've gotten into Unity using Guest account. So, I guess I need to know how to be able to create another admin user becuase I think my current user account got corrupted.
[16:33] <MonkeyDust> JOW  use your gateway
[16:33] <MonkeyDust> JOW  what's the gateway's ip address?
[16:33] <JOW> 10.202.110.1
[16:33] <anon> how to use i2p for ubuntu
[16:33] <JOW> Search domains? Is it necessary?
[16:34] <Chuck_Norris> skinux: try log in with your user but still using old kernel, that way you will notice if it's the user or the driver
[16:34] <poorUser> it should be auto-added, if internet doesn't work yes, it is necessary to set DNS
[16:34] <skinux> I already tried using my user account with older kernel. It didn't get past login.
[16:34] <JOW> There's a Search domains area to type...
[16:35] <Saturn812> hi, i am trying to disable ufw by "ufw disable" but it errors me with "ERROR: '/etc/ufw/ufw.conf' is not writable", last time i had no problems disabling it. I have a root account. Any hints?
[16:35] <poorUser> JOW: let if blank, unless you have connections problems
[16:35] <JOW> alright
[16:35] <Guest54962> how to use root for ubuntu
[16:35] <MonkeyDust> Saturn812  it's sudo ufw disable
[16:35] <JOW> there's a spot to mark saying " Require IPv4 addressing for this connection to complete"
[16:36] <JOW> should I leave it blank as well?
[16:36] <Saturn812> MonkeyDust, sudo doesn't work either
[16:36] <poorUser> JOW: yes
[16:36] <JOW> Hey but I cannot save this...
[16:36] <poorUser> JOW: it should perfectly work with these settings only
[16:36] <JOW> I think I must write something on Search domains...
[16:36] <Guest54962> ok
[16:36] <skinux> Chuck_Norris: My user account with older kernel didn't get past login. I have to use Guest account to get in. So, I believe that tells me the user account is the problem. Unless I need to try using Guest account with the later kernel.
[16:38] <santosxen> guys how to swap some keys in the keyboard layout???
[16:38] <oimi> JOW, I didn't read everything since you posted your problem but are you trying to set a static IP to the comp you're regularily SSH'ing into?
[16:38] <JOW> It doens't let me save the alterations... =(
[16:38] <Chuck_Norris> skinux: yes you can create another admin user: adduser skinux
[16:38] <JOW> exactly oimi
[16:38] <poorUser> oimi: yes ^^
[16:39] <skinux> Problem is, I need to be able to get files from the corrupted user, which is encrypted.
[16:39] <poorUser> skinux: i hope you have the key
[16:40] <oimi> JOW, in /etc/network/interfaces you need to change the "wlan0" "eth0" from iface eth0 inet dhcp to "iface eth0 inet static"
[16:40] <skinux> I should somewhere
[16:40] <Chuck_Norris> skinux: oh! but you need root access, idk how guest account works
[16:40] <oimi> JOW, then enter the address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
[16:41] <poorUser> oimi: he needs more basic info
[16:41] <oimi> JOW, I think the last thing you're struggling with is the dns right? you need to append to the same file same section dns-nameserver 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
[16:41] <JOW> There are two lines written in this file
[16:41] <oimi> poorUser, what do you mean?
[16:42] <Chuck_Norris> skinux: well... about the encrypted files idk sry, i don't know how to get those files back, i think maybe best way is to try gettin' back the user who own those files
[16:42] <skinux> I can't get any root access using Guest account.
[16:42] <JOW> I'll reproduce here
[16:42] <JOW> auto lo
[16:42] <oimi> no don't
[16:42] <JOW> iface lo inet loopback
[16:42] <oimi> JOW, use pastebin
[16:42] <xfceKris> I'm baaack.
[16:42] <skinux> Chuck_Norris: Well, I'd like to find a way to recover my user account since it got corrupted.
[16:42] <poorUser> oimi: he asked what numbers to write in these fields
[16:42] <Guest4249> @santosxen what version do you use?
[16:42] <JOW> oimi I'm editing the interfaces file right now
[16:43] <JOW> in the /etc/networks folder
[16:43] <santosxen> @Guest4249 14.04
[16:43] <oimi> JOW, yes good, what interface do you want static? wlan0? eth0?
[16:43] <ribisel> does anyone have experience with encrypting a usb flash drive using the built-in Disk Utility tool? I'm wondering how long it can take to overwrite a 16 GB device with zeros and encrypt it in luks. running for almost an hour already and I
[16:43] <ribisel> am becoming impatient.. :)
[16:43] <JOW> the wireless wlan0
[16:44] <xfceKris> So If I use tar -cfpzv /media/kristopher/TheFifthElement/LinuxBackup/Kristopher.tar.gz /home/kristopher to backup my home directory, will it also include hidden files? i forget
[16:44] <Guest4249> @santosxen and you want to change the keyboard layout?
[16:44] <oimi> JOW, paste me the line containing that (the one that looks like iface wlan0 inet"
[16:44] <MonkeyDust> JOW  first try with a cable, if that works, try to configure wifi
[16:44] <JOW> iface lo ined loopback
[16:45] <JOW> there's no cable, it's a mobile intel NUC device
[16:45] <Chuck_Norris> skinux: may be with root in recovery you could mount the partition as "rw" then see for file permissions in the user's home folder
[16:45] <oimi> JOW, just the one containing the wlan0 plz
[16:45] <JOW> oimi, I have two lines
[16:45] <JOW> I'll paste the whole thing in one message
[16:45] <santosxen> @Guest4249 I got the translit Russian / German Keyboard layout and i just want to SWAP some keys e.g. ^ should mean я instead of Q
[16:45] <JOW> I can't
[16:45] <JOW> in one message past it all
[16:46] <JOW> but I'll send in two messages right after
[16:46] <JOW> auto lo
[16:46] <xfceKris> JOW pastebin
[16:46] <oimi> JOW, like I said, the one line (the bottom one)
[16:46] <JOW> iface lo inet loopback
[16:47] <JOW> you want me to show the ifconfig information?
[16:47] <JOW> is that what youre asking?
[16:47] <oimi> JOW, no.
[16:48] <JOW> because in the file I'm editing there's no wlan0
[16:48] <poorUser> JOW: have you setup the static ip in your pc or in your NUC?
[16:48] <JOW> I'm trying to do it on the NUC
[16:48] <oimi> JOW,  just read what I am typing. Inside the /etc/network/interfaces there are two lines containing the word wlan0 paste the bottom one
[16:49] <JOW> oimi, inside the /etc/network/interfaces there are zero lines containing the word wlan0
[16:49] <JOW> I can't past you that
[16:49] <JOW> sorry
[16:49] <skinux> Chuck_Norris: Well, couldn't use root shell to create another user, it said it couldn't get access to add the user to a group.
[16:49] <oimi> JOW, paste the whole ifconfig and /etc/network/interfaces on pastebin.com
[16:49] <santosxen> @Guest4249 you got it?
[16:50] <JOW> okay
[16:50] <EriC^^> skinux: where are you logged in right now?
[16:50] <EriC^^> guest account?
[16:50] <JOW> what is pastebin.com?
[16:50] <skinux> I'm using Guest account
[16:50] <EriC^^> skinux: ok press ctrl+alt+f1 and login
[16:50] <oimi> JOW, go and look.
[16:50] <EriC^^> type ls -l ~/.Xauthority
[16:51] <JOW> okay I'm doing it
[16:51] <skinux> Okay. ls -l is for me?
[16:52] <Chuck_Norris> skinux: yes is for you,  mah upgrade finished, i'll restart cya (if i can come back :D)
[16:52] <skinux> It shows -rw------- skinux skinux
[16:52] <JOW> oimi, I just did it
[16:52] <JOW> do you want to know my nickname?
[16:52] <poorUser> JOW: paste here the link
[16:52] <JOW> search for jow13_12
[16:53] <JOW> okay
[16:53] <oimi> JOW, link us the paste
[16:54] <EriC^^> skinux: ok, so your account doesn't work right now right?
[16:54] <EriC^^> ( old kernel + your account )
[16:54] <ribisel> how long does it take to encrypt a partition using disk utility?
[16:55] <MonkeyDust> ribisel  i guess that depends on the the disk size and the speed of your computer
[16:55] <poorUser> JOW: more easy is this, install in your android phone FING, or any other network scanner. It tells you all IPs of your net
[16:55] <ux2> hey
[16:55] <oimi> JOW, once you pasted and clicked submit, you will be redirected to a link where you can see what you pasted. Copy paste that link here.
[16:55] <ux2> anyne from India that can help with Ubuntu?
[16:55] <MonkeyDust> ux2  ask and wait
[16:55] <ux2> ok
[16:55] <TJ-> ribisel: do you mean randomising the partition contents? Creating an encrypted container takes less than a second
[16:55] <JOW> pastebin.com/3WQ6Serw
[16:56] <JOW> =)
[16:56] <BluesKaj> !in | ux2
[16:56] <ribisel> MonkeyDust, it's a 16gb usb flash drive and I have a fairly new computer
[16:56] <ux2> I tried that
[16:56] <ux2> its dead
[16:56] <ribisel> MonkeyDust, and it's taking over an hour already
[16:56] <ux2> better wait for someone here to help perhaps with the language pack issue
[16:56] <oimi> JOW, ok, but that can't be the whole interfaces file at the bottom there
[16:56] <poorUser> JOW: there is a 4 instead of a 5 in your config
[16:57] <ribisel> TJ, I used disk utility to format, overwrite with zeros and encrypt a 16gb flash drive
[16:57] <poorUser> JOW: netmask wasn't correctly written
[16:57] <ux2> Anyone from India/
[16:57] <TJ-> ribisel: USB2 transfer speed is pretty slow, but it sounds more like the randomiser is slow
[16:57] <JOW> I thought about that poorUser
[16:57] <JOW> it's 255.255.254.0
[16:57] <TJ-> ribisel: which disk utility is it?
[16:57] <MonkeyDust> ribisel  all i know is, usb is slower than a hdd, never tried to encrypt usb
[16:57] <ux2> ello
[16:58] <JOW> well, are you talking about interfaces.d?
[16:58] <cfhowlett> ux2, this channel speaks english.  YOU speak english.  why not ask your support question?
[16:58] <JOW> actually is a directory
[16:58] <oimi> JOW,  /etc/network/interfaces just that not interfaces.d
[16:58] <ux2> I guess I can do that
[16:58] <ribisel> TJ, the default one that came with the distribution, https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/precise/gnome-disk-utility/
[16:58] <ux2> I'm looking for a language pack for Hindi/ and some other Indian languages. What do I do?
[16:58] <JOW> oimi this is exactly what I showed you...
[16:59] <TJ-> ribisel: I'd install iotop and use it check the write speed to the device
[16:59] <oimi> JOW, poorUser is right, you can't have bcast of .255 and a netmask 254.0
[16:59] <oimi> JOW, what's your gateway?
[17:00] <MonkeyDust> ux2  what's the outcome of   cat /etc/issue
[17:00] <JOW> oimi
[17:00] <JOW> more details now
[17:00] <JOW> pastebin.com/bdCVz0dn
[17:01] <ribisel> TJ, so is it safe to just pull out the flash drive? I can't unmount it because "the encrypted device is unlocked"
[17:01] <JOW> oimi and poorUser, thank for your time
[17:01] <JOW> I'll have to go now
[17:01] <TJ-> JOW: oimi: poorUser: The netmask and broadcast are CORRECT.
[17:02] <TJ-> ribisel: Don't pull it out!
[17:02] <ribisel> TJ, I don't have any data on it..
[17:03] <JOW> oimi, please let things to help me on pastebin.com
[17:03] <oimi> JOW, http://pastebin.com/K7GV3Mqn
[17:03] <oimi> JOW, add that to the /etc/network/interfaces file
[17:03] <TJ-> ribisel: I assume you're using gnome-disk-utility package. I'm not sure how it works but if it is taking some time, that suggests it is randomising the contents of the device in order to ensure that when encrypted data is written to it, it is indistinguishable from the surrounding random bytes
[17:03] <oimi> JOW, I made a mistake, change eth0 to wlan0
[17:04] <JOW> after iface?
[17:04] <JOW> first or second line?
[17:04] <JOW> both?
[17:04] <oimi> at the bottom
[17:04] <TJ-> JOW: oimi That is wrong! the network is incorrect
[17:05] <oimi> what class is it?
[17:05] <TJ-> JOW: oimi it's CIDR, 10.202.110.0/23
[17:05] <oimi> cheers
[17:06] <TJ-> JOW oimi "network 10.202.110.0"   "broadcast 10.202.111.255"
[17:06] <ribisel> TJ-, I see. thanks. the thing is, I figured I don't want to encrypt the entire drive but rather create a partition first. How do I abort the encryption process?
[17:07] <JOW> TJ: what exactly should I change?
[17:07] <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 device
[17:08] <phillys93> hi
[17:08] <JOW> TJ ?
[17:08] <ux2> any Indian people around?
[17:09] <cfhowlett> ux2, https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/prefs-language-install.html
[17:09] <ux2> ty
[17:09] <TJ-> JOW: Can you pastebin the result of "grep -A 10 dhclient /var/log/syslog"
[17:10] <JOW> TJ Permission denied!
[17:11] <JOW> actually there's no "!"
[17:11] <phillys93> Hi I'm having problem bridging my openvpn tap0 interface with eth0 on my VM (ESXi). I'm using brctl and have enabled promisc. mode on eth0, tap and the virtual VM switch in  VMware. From my VPN client I can't reach anything on the remote network except the br0 interface.
[17:11] <ux2> ello
[17:11] <TJ-> JOW: prefix the command with "sudo "
[17:11] <phillys93> I get ARP replies on eth0 and br0 but not tap0
[17:11] <AmyFlannigan> Hey guys, could someone help me? I'm new to Ubuntu and I've been setting up my printer, but my scenner still doesn't work. I used the preinstalled tool and it says no scanner found.
[17:11] <AmyFlannigan> I don't really know what to do with htat
[17:11] <AmyFlannigan> that
[17:12] <JOW> Oh man
[17:12] <TJ-> AmyFlannigan: tell us the exact make/model of the device - I assume it's a multi-function printer/scanner ?
[17:12] <ux2> ello AmyFlannigan
[17:12] <JOW> It's a huge text
[17:12] <JOW> like a history of something
[17:12] <TJ-> JOW: Give me that last 50 lines or so
[17:12] <JOW> with dates
[17:12] <AmyFlannigan> It's Brother DCP 1610WE
[17:12] <ribisel> TJ-, the average writing speed is between 1-2 MB/s. That means it will take around 12000 seconds, ie over 3 hours? Wow, should have thought about that before..
[17:13] <JOW> but I can't copy becuase I'm not using the same computer to communicate with y'all... =(
[17:13] <JOW> I'll just come back later
[17:13] <JOW> I need to go now
[17:13] <JOW> Thanks
[17:13] <TJ-> JOW: use the pastebinit command to auto-collect the sdata  "pastebinit <( sudo grep -A 10 dhclient /var/log/syslog)"
[17:14] <AmyFlannigan> And yea, multifunctional
[17:14] <skinux> Well, I was able to create another user account using root shell. Unfortunately, attempting to login to desktop using it didn't work. Instead of desktop coming up it went back to login.
[17:15] <ux2> hey
[17:15] <Arglax> Hello
[17:15] <Arglax> I have a problem
[17:15] <cfhowlett> !ask | Arglax
[17:15] <TJ-> AmyFlannigan: So again I assume the printer part was discovered, but the SANE (Scanner drivers) service couldn't discover the scanner part?
[17:16] <Arglax> When I try sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer i get: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[17:16] <Arglax> when i then try "sudo dpkg --configure -a" i get an sql install screen, but i can't progress
[17:16] <Arglax> it's stuck there
[17:16] <AmyFlannigan> Yes, the printer was discovered, I checked that, but not the scanner
[17:16] <AmyFlannigan> Each time I open the tool it tells me no scanner detected
[17:16] <Arglax> !patience
[17:17] <Norbin> I have 16gb ram, and a 512mb swap partition..... it's used over 90%, can i see what's using the swap?
[17:17] <ioria> skinux, ls -al ~/.Xauthority ?
[17:17] <Norbin> 1/16gb being used yet swap almost full? :/
[17:17] <marcv> Hello, 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/ ?
[17:18] <skinux> ioria: 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-site
[17:19] <AmyFlannigan> I downloaded everything directly from the Brother website and installed exactly as I have been instructed and it still wonẗ work
[17:19] <ioria> skinux, try with sudo
[17:20] <ioria> skinux, no, not in guest account ... log in via console
[17:20] <skinux> operation not permitted
[17:20] <TJ-> AmyFlannigan: Looking at the .deb package file, their driver is called brscan4
[17:20] <skinux> Okay, and what would i be looking for in the output of that command?
[17:20] <skinux> I can't copy and paste the output using recovery root shell.
[17:20] <ioria> skinux, the ownership
[17:21] <AmyFlannigan> TJ-: Jes, I have that one and installed it
[17:21] <AmyFlannigan> *Yes
[17:21] <skinux> Well, when I did it before it said -rw----- skinux skinux
[17:21] <TJ-> AmyFlannigan: OK... so that would be the package brscan4-0.4.3-2.amd64.deb would it?
[17:21] <AmyFlannigan> Yes
[17:21] <ioria> skinux, that's ok then
[17:21] <EriC^^> skinux: try typing DISPLAY=:1 startx in the terminal ( without sudo )
[17:21] <EriC^^> see what it says
[17:21] <skinux> You mean from root shell
[17:22] <EriC^^> no i mean from the login
[17:22] <EriC^^> ctrl+alt+f1
[17:22] <TJ-> AmyFlannigan: Hmmm... when you did "sudo dpkg -i --force-all brscan4-0.4.3-2.amd64.deb" did the system report any errors?
[17:23] <skinux> The 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] <skinux> Oh. It started waiting for X server to begin accepting connections and it's repeating no protocol
[17:23] <AmyFlannigan> I 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.
[17:24] <skinux> Or repeating No protocol specified
[17:24] <AmyFlannigan> TJ-: It's over a network, I don't have a usb for it
[17:24] <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 report
[17:24]  * WormFood agrees with TJ- 
[17:24] <AmyFlannigan> I asked about the terminal and found the commands, but he told me this :/
[17:24] <EriC^^> skinux: ok, press ctrl+c
[17:24] <lorek123> Hi, i needed to test my servers for ssl2 vulns so i installed openssl packets as in http://www.techstacks.com/howto/enable-sslv2-and-tlsv12-in-openssl-101c-on-ubuntu-1304.html. Now i have problem with skype installation because of no i386 packets. Are there any possibilites to fix this without reinstalling whole system? I'm now on ubuntu 15.04
[17:24] <skinux> I did. It's not stopping
[17:25] <marcv> Does anyone know the difference between an install of trusty-server-cloudimg-i386-juju-vagrant-disk1.box and the same *without* -juju in the name?
[17:25] <ioria> skinux, sorry, what's your the original issue  ?
[17:25] <EriC^^> skinux: pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[17:25] <skinux> FFS.
[17:25] <cfhowlett> marcv, I suspect the #ubuntu-server channel might know more ...
[17:25] <cfhowlett> lorek123, same advice ^^^
[17:26] <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 network
[17:26] <marcv> cfhowlett: didn't know it even existed. thanks!
[17:26] <ux2> ello
[17:26] <cfhowlett> happy2help!
[17:26] <ux2> anyone a native Indian language speaker?
[17:26] <ux2> hm
[17:26] <blah-> hi
[17:26] <WormFood> which Indian language? There are so many to choose from.
[17:27] <lorek123> cfwhowlett thx
[17:27] <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 least
[17:27] <cfhowlett> happy2help!
[17:28] <AmyFlannigan> TJ-: 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 guess
[17:29] <TJ-> AmyFlannigan: there are several FAQ answers for network scanning on Windows and Mac, but no clues with regard to Linux
[17:29] <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 it
[17:29] <AmyFlannigan> TJ-: Yea, there never was a problem on Windows, but I wanted to quit that completely.
[17:30] <AmyFlannigan> TJ-: 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 answer
[17:31] <skinux> Here's my X server log http://pastebin.com/Mx1WTBNk
[17:32] <TJ-> AmyFlannigan: I bet there's a way and it is easy once you know how :)
[17:33] <AmyFlannigan> TJ-: Maybe so. Hope I find it. Thank you anyway :)
[17:35] <TJ-> AmyFlannigan: this Ubuntu forums thread *may* give some hope/clues http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2174086
[17:36] <AmyFlannigan> TJ-: Cool! I will have a look. Thank you! <3
[17:36] <TJ-> AmyFlannigan: the last comment in that thread is also VERY intriguing... check that hasn't affected you!
[17:37] <skinux> EriC^^: 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)
[17:38] <AmyFlannigan> JT-: No, that is okay, I do have a 64 bit system. But I will read it carefully the whole thing
[17:38] <TJ-> AmyFlannigan: good luck with it :)
[17:38] <AmyFlannigan> OH! OKay, now I see. Thank you very much! :)
[17:42] <EriC^^> skinux: no idea
[17:44] <Bernzel> Im 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?
[17:45] <TJ-> skinux: the Xorg log shows it is using the framebuffer driver, rather than a hardware-accelerated driver for the GPU
[17:46] <skinux> TJ: 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.
[17:47] <ioria> skinux, amd/ati  graphics ?
[17:47] <HaaPut> Bernzel, what does file command say
[17:48] <skinux> I'm not sure...amd I think
[17:48] <TJ-> skinux: That makes sense. Are you using Ubuntu/Unity ?
[17:48] <skinux> Normally would be Unity.
[17:49] <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] <skinux> Yes, I do have nomodeset..I was to set that in boot menu earlier.
[17:49] <skinux> told*
[17:49] <dhmhtrhs_linux> hello 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!
[17:50] <TJ-> skinux: I'd remove that from "/etc/default/grub", do "sudo update-grub" and try a reboot
[17:50] <skinux> Remove it from /etc/default/grub first and then do update-grub?
[17:51] <TJ-> skinux: 'nomodeset' will prevent the kernel's Intel modesetting driver from initialising, which the Intel i915 Xorg driver needs in order to work
[17:51] <TJ-> skinux: Correct. 'update-grub' generates /boot/grub/grub.cfg based on the settings in /etc/default/grub
[17:51] <skinux>  Well /etc/default/grub doesn't say anything about nomodeset
[17:52] <TJ-> skinux: did you edit the kernel command-line manually at the last boot, from the GRUB boot manager menu?
[17:52] <skinux> Yeah, I modified it during boot
[17:53] <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.
[17:54] <skinux> I've already re-booted without making the change and haven't been able to get past login with my user account.
[17:54] <ioria> skinux, 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 up
[17:55] <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] <skinux> lspci | grep vga doesn't return anything
[17:55] <ioria> ok... didn't see it
[17:55] <TJ-> ioria: skinux 8086:0156 maps to the i915 driver
[17:55] <ioria> VGA not vga
[17:56] <skinux> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller Intel corporation 3rd gen core processor graphics controller (rev 09)
[17:56] <ioria> ok
[17:56] <TJ-> skinux: this is how I check which driver matches a PCI Vendor:Product ID: "grep -i '8086.*0156sv' /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/*"
[17:57] <skinux> So you want me to type all that in?
[17:57] <TJ-> skinux: after the reboot the /dev/dri/card0 node should be present
[17:57] <TJ-> skinux: No, I was just sharing the knowledge of how it is done
[17:58] <skinux> So, what do I need to do right now?
[18:00] <MonkeyDust> TJ-  2>/dev/null at the end makes it cleaner
[18:00] <TJ-> skinux: reboot, then we'll look at the logs again.
[18:00] <skinux> Okay
[18:00] <TJ-> MonkeyDust: too much typing - I know what I'm looking for
[18:01] <epaphus> Hi guys, can Tomcat 8 be installed in Ubuntu 14.04?
[18:01] <ioria> can't be a hybrid system and the cpu graphics has taken over because the dedicated has failed ?
[18:02] <TJ-> ioria: If there were another GPU the Xorg log would report it
[18:02] <ioria> TJ- ok, thanx
[18:03] <TJ-> ioria: the Xorg log has gotten quite useful recently; that raw PCI info didn't used to be there
[18:03] <sandeepkr> on what does the resolution/quality of images captured using print screen depend?
[18:03] <linuxr> hello 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_linux> hi!
[18:05] <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 content
[18:06] <sandeepkr> im 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] <neyder> hi does xfce use dconf, beacuse there is no dconf dir in /etc
[18:06] <reisio> linuxr: or you could install Flash
[18:06] <MonkeyDust> neyder  maybe gconf
[18:06] <reisio> neyder: no, but you can use Xfce and applications that use dconf simultaneously
[18:06] <reisio> also gconf
[18:07] <linuxr> TJ-, so flv is not flash but a container format with possibly anything in it?
[18:07] <linuxr> reisio, thats exactly what I do not want
[18:07] <skinux> Here is the log now: http://pastebin.com/sHfQM1G7
[18:07] <reisio> linuxr: sounds like the opposite
[18:07] <TJ-> linuxr: FLV is a Flash video, a container format with the content encoded by one of several possible codecs
[18:07] <TJ-> skinux: thanks
[18:07] <skinux> Took a couple tries becuase Firefox kept freezing
[18:08] <reisio> if you want to watch something related to Flash, you probably want Flash, this is not rocket science :)
[18:08] <TJ-> skinux: VERY good, looks much better now.
[18:08] <TJ-> skinux: So, now we need to figure out the login-loop
[18:09] <skinux> Well, ultimately I need to figure out why my actual user account just hangs after logging in.
[18:09] <linuxr> reisio, the point is that I do NOT want anything related to flash, and wonder why suddenly "flash" videos are played without flash
[18:09] <TJ-> skinux: right now how are you using IRC, from the console?
[18:09] <skinux> Guest account
[18:09] <TJ-> skinux: Great! so we know there is no Unity issue, just your profile
[18:09] <linuxr> TJ-, okay thats interesting
[18:10] <skinux> Guest account isn't using Unity.
[18:10] <skinux> It has Applications and Places menus
[18:10] <MonkeyDust> skinux  that's MATE or classic
[18:10] <BluesKaj> linuxr, most likely the "flash" videos you mention are HTML5 . Most browsers and alot of websites have switched over.
[18:10] <TJ-> skinux: OK, show me "sudo ls -al /home/<your-user-name>/.Xauthority"
[18:10] <skinux> But my user account hangs no matter which environment I choose.
[18:11] <linuxr> the URL is: http://video.blick.ch/content/51/276/60027/simvid_1_40.flv if anyone would like to inspect this
[18:11] <skinux> Guest account can't do sudo.
[18:11] <linuxr> BluesKaj, html5 comes in a .flv?
[18:11] <TJ-> skinux: skinux drop to a VT console, log-in, use that. Ctrl+Alt+F1  and Alt+F7 to return to the GUI
[18:12] <BluesKaj> linuxr, no, but it can play them afaik
[18:12] <skinux> -rw---- skinux skinux 50
[18:12] <TJ-> skinux: OK, that's good.
[18:14] <TJ-> skinux: so the next test some folks do is to move the entire $HOME/.config/ directory out the way, to determine if the cause is a config settings. For that you can do - from the VT console log-in -  "mv $HOME/.config $HOME/.config.old" then "mkdir $HOME/.config" ... then return to the GUI, log-out Guest and try log-in to your user account
[18:14] <skinux> Okay.
[18:18] <ROPA> I just bought a USB silicone keyboard, it is recozed, but it will not work. It says it works in windows and mac, but is there any reason why it won't work with ubuntu?
[18:19] <ROPA> recozed = recognized.
[18:19] <MonkeyDust> ROPA  because the manufacturer decided it that way, i guess
[18:20] <spoonman_> thinking about learning how to do linux kernel tuning
[18:20] <TJ-> ROPA: monitor ("sudo tail -f /var/log/kern.log") the log as you plug the device in. You should see a HID (Human Interface Device) appear and 1 or more input nodes created
[18:20] <skinux> Moving config directory didn't solve anything
[18:20] <ash_work> so; should you use adduser/addgroup if you want to add a new user to a new group?
[18:20] <dhmhtrhs_linux> ΚΑΛΗΣΠΕΡΑ ΑΠΟ ΚΡΗΤΗ
[18:21] <ash_work> and also, can this be completed in 1 command?
[18:21] <TJ-> skinux: OK, that's promising. Can you "pastebinit $HOME/.xsession-errors"
[18:21] <k1l_> !gr | dhmhtrhs_linux
[18:22] <skinux> You mean for Guest account?
[18:22] <dhmhtrhs_linux> YES I AM FROM GREECE
[18:22] <TJ-> skinux: No, for the skinux account
[18:22] <skinux> I can't. Access denied
[18:22] <neyder> thanks MonkeyDust reisio
[18:23] <skinux> Oh wait. Doy.
[18:23] <TJ-> skinux: Use the VT console, log-in there
[18:23] <Holzbein> Hello
[18:23] <dhmhtrhs_linux> thanks ubottu
[18:26] <ROPA> TJ, IT DOES RECOGNIZE THE KB, SHOULD i POST THE OUTPUT HERE?
[18:26] <ROPA> SORRY FOR CAPS:)
[18:26] <skinux> paste.ubuntu.com/12315667/
[18:27] <TJ-> ROPA: No, please use a pastebin
[18:27] <TJ-> !paste | ROPA
[18:27] <TJ-> skinux: thanks
[18:27] <skinux> It doesn't have .xsession-errors but it had .xsession-errors.old
[18:27] <ROPA> ok tj, standby
[18:29] <ioria> skinux, ls -l ~/.ICEauthority ?
[18:29] <TJ-> skinux: None of those log entries look good :(  The log file issue looks worrying, depending on how you interpret 'failed to write to log file' ... maybe just permissions ("ls -l /home/skinux/.cache/upstart/gnome-session-Unity.log", or possibly a failing disk ("sudo grep 'I/O' /var/log/kern.log")?
[18:30] <skinux> -rw---- 1 skinux skinux 28284
[18:30] <ROPA> TJ, http://pastebin.com/VDNkaJFi
[18:30] <TJ-> ROPA system-wise that looks perfect.
[18:31] <TJ-> ROPA: the next thing to check is whether the GUI Xorg X server is adding that device to its list of input devices
[18:31] <TJ-> ROPA: "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log"
[18:32] <ROPA> ok, thanks. My really old microsoft external kb works great on this laptop, but the new silicone kb does nothing!!
[18:32] <skinux> gnome-session-Unity.log doesn't exist
[18:33] <TJ-> skinux: did you recently use any commands that changed either ownership, or permissions, of any files in the skinux user's home directory?
[18:33] <ROPA> thanks TJ, here it is.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/12315699/
[18:33] <skinux> I don't believe so.
[18:34] <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 them
[18:35] <TJ-> ROPA all good there too! "(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "  USB Keyboard" (type: KEYBOARD, id 15)"
[18:36] <skinux> Well, I can only see so many, but they all have w in them
[18:37] <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.
[18:38] <Rhino_Crash> Hello 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] <skinux> Well, 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 2G
[18:38] <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] <ROPA> ok, thanks TJ, so it's possible the KB is defective and just not outputting any kb data?
[18:38] <TJ-> skinux: "sudo df -h"
[18:39] <skinux> On the whole partition?
[18:39] <TJ-> ROPA: it must be talking else it wouldn't have been recognised and connected
[18:39] <TJ-> skinux: 'df' lists the usage of all mountpoints
[18:40] <TJ-> skinux: if you can "pastebinit <( df -h )" it'd be easier
[18:40] <skinux> Used 57 out of 59..so yes..2G left
[18:40] <ROPA> ok, i see loads of these silicone kb's on ebay, they say windows and mac, none of them say linux.
[18:41] <ROPA> TJ Thanks for the help, it's much appreciated.
[18:42] <TJ-> ROPA usually because those sellers don't think of Linux as being used by anyone :)
[18:42] <skinux> It won't pastebinit, says there is no disk space left
[18:42] <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 issue
[18:43] <ROPA> TJ Yes, that's what I thought......I avoided buying a fancy unit with windows specific bells and whistles.....
[18:43] <skinux> can't do it with sudo either
[18:43] <TJ-> skinux: OK, just tell me the Use% for the root file system entry
[18:43] <skinux> It says 100% even though it has 2G
[18:44] <TJ-> skinux: Where do you get the 2G from? 100% means 100%
[18:44] <skinux> Used 57G out of 59G, it says total usage is 100%
[18:44] <ioria> skinux, can you ls /boot and see how many kernels do you have ?
[18:45] <skinux> There are 12 entires
[18:45] <TJ-> skinux: it could be Inodes then; try "df -i" and check the root file system entry again, the IUse%
[18:45] <rypervenche> skinux: It rounds up. That is 96.6%, so it rounds up to 100%
[18:45] <skinux> entries*
[18:45] <rypervenche> Oh wait, nevermind. That made no sense...
[18:45] <TJ-> ioria: that wouldn't affect the /home/ being out of space
[18:45] <ioria> skinux, you can try a sudo apt-get autoremove
[18:46] <TJ-> skinux: also clean out the package cache with "sudo apt-get clean"
[18:46] <skinux> It's removing a bunch of things. 119MB will be freed
[18:47] <ioria> skinux, mm... not enought
[18:47] <TJ-> skinux: that'll give you room to breath; enough for log-in I think. Then you need to address the lack of space issue
[18:47] <ioria> skinux, go on... better than nothing
[18:48] <TJ-> skinux: Earlier, did you move the $HOME/.config.old/ directory back to $HOME/.config ?
[18:48] <skinux> Nope
[18:49] <TJ-> skinux: you should do that now. "rm -rf /home/skinux/.config" then "mv /home/skinux/.config.old /home/skinux/.config"
[18:49] <TJ-> skinux: from the VT console login, obvisouly
[18:49] <TJ-> skinux: then try to log-in to the user account from the GUI
[18:49] <skinux> Okay.
[18:50] <skinux> Okay. I'll try it now.
[18:50] <isak_> hello
[18:50] <isak_> hello
[18:51] <skinux> Okay, got in using my user account
[18:51] <ioria> skinux, we need house cleaning :þ
[18:51] <skinux> Do symlinks with mounted Windows OS count toward disk usage of Ubuntu's partition?
[18:51] <TJ-> skinux: No
[18:52] <TJ-> skinux: df reports each file-system separately. You can use a Disk Usage analyzer to figure out where you can free up space
[18:52] <Norbin> It's hard for me to explain but when quickly Capsing first letter in a sentence, the 2nd letter will also come in CAps :/ I don't have this behavior using the same keyboard in windows... am I dreaming? :)
[18:53] <TJ-> skinux: the recent updates must have caused the file-system to run out of space, with the knock-on effect of locking you out
[18:53] <TJ-> Norbin: No! I get that frequenly too... thought I was holding down the Shift a bit too long
[18:53] <skinux> That's BS. The system should detect disk space and tell you if you don't have enough for the update.
[18:53] <skinux> I've noticed there are updates every single freaking day.
[18:54] <ioria> skinux, see if there are apps that you don't need  and think about a migration to a bigger hd
[18:54] <TJ-> skinux: Gnome/Unity used to do that I know. Whether it does or not now I'm not sure since I use other DEs
[18:55] <ioria> skinux, for example, you keep music and movie on an external usb hd
[18:55] <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. After we cleaned up /var/log/ was down to 25MB
[18:56] <skinux> My /var/log is only 11MB
[18:57] <compdoc> not bad
[18:58] <TJ-> skinux: this can often help identify where all the space is used: "sudo du --one-file-system --max-depth=2 --human-readable /"
[18:58] <cryptodan_laptop> could also do du -sh
[18:59] <TJ-> cryptodan_laptop: don't want a summary; already got 'h'
[18:59] <Norbin> TJ-, they say it's an issue with Xorg / alternatively use the shift key to Caps :/
[18:59] <ash_work> anyone have any ideas on why an msi GE70 won't come back from suspend running Ubuntu 14.04 ?
[18:59] <TJ-> Norbin: Hmmm... I found not leaving my pinky dangling on the shift solves it most of the time for me
[19:00] <TJ-> ash_work: usually a firmware ACPI issue
[19:03] <ash_work> TJ-: thanks
[19:06] <vertago1> if upstream won't or takes forever to fix a bug is it fine to submit a patch through ubuntu?
[19:06] <JOW> Hey guys! I wanna ssh into my intel NUC but its IP keeps changing
[19:06] <JOW> How do I set it to be static?
[19:06] <bekks> JOW: Its described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/network-configuration.html
[19:06] <JOW> I heard I have to alter the /etc/network/interfaces file
[19:07] <vertago1> JOW what is your DHCP server?
[19:07] <JOW> vertago1 I don't know
[19:07] <vertago1> JOW is it your internet IP or your local IP that is changing?
[19:07] <JOW> the one I need to ssh
[19:07] <OerHeks> That guide should be enough to set a static IP
[19:08] <JOW> the one that appears for wlan0
[19:08] <JOW> in ifconfig
[19:08] <vertago1> If you have control over your router you might want to make a dhcp reservation
[19:09] <pbx> i 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?
[19:11] <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 so
[19:11] <JOW> yes TJ
[19:11] <JOW> how can I put that from the terminal to pastebin?
[19:11] <JOW> directly?
[19:12] <JOW> TJ
[19:12] <auronandace> !pastebinit
[19:12] <latk> I'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] <TJ-> JOW:  "sudo grep -A10 dhclient /var/log/syslog | tail -n 50 |  pastebinit"
[19:13] <OerHeks> latk, hold shift @ boot
[19:14] <latk> OerHeks: I read that online, but it didn't seem to work.
[19:14] <latk> OerHeks: Will give it another go.
[19:15] <JOW> TJ paste.ubuntu.com/12315925
[19:16] <JOW> see TJ ? looks good?
[19:17] <michiil> hey guys, i am trying to get my bluetooth keyboard to be able to wake my sytem up from suspend
[19:18] <michiil> i habe looked at  /proc/acpi/wakeup but there is nothing in there what helps
[19:18] <TJ-> JOW: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12315948/
[19:18] <michiil> the bluetooth reciver is internal (pci i think)
[19:18] <latk> OerHeks: Yeah, that doesn't seem to work :s
[19:18] <SCHAAP137> michiil, this would require your bluetooth adapter to _not_ go into sleep mode
[19:18] <SCHAAP137> not sure how to accomplish that
[19:18] <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 from
[19:18] <michiil> SCHAAP137: well that seems to be the case anyway
[19:19] <michiil> it imediatly works after wakeup
[19:19] <michiil> after boot it takes a view seconds..
[19:19] <JOW> And how can I see what I have set there?
[19:19] <JOW> TJ
[19:19] <OerHeks> latk, it should, see the grub manual, keep tapping when your system starts ..
[19:19] <OerHeks> !grub
[19:20] <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/interfaces
[19:20] <TJ-> latk: Are you using a USB keyboard?
[19:20] <latk> TJ- Yes
[19:21] <latk> I just see a black screen with a purple border
[19:21] <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.
[19:22] <JOW> Oh I think I got you TJ
[19:22] <TJ-> JOW :) good
[19:22] <latk> Hm, 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] <JOW> It doens't matter too much cause once it starts being static I can set it all up
[19:23] <JOW> I know how to change ~/.bashrc
[19:23] <JOW> I just need the IP to keep constant lol
[19:23] <TJ-> latk: Because te BIOS drops USB support when it hands over to the boot-loader if "Legacy USB Support" is not enabled
[19:23] <TJ-> JOW: OK, well you're sorted thne
[19:23] <latk> TJ-: Looks like legacy USB was already enabled
[19:24] <TJ-> latk: Are there any sub-options related to USB HID devices (Human Interface Devices)
[19:24] <latk> EHCI handoff ?
[19:24] <JOW> TJ , I'll copy everything you wrote from the second line on?
[19:24] <TJ-> latk: Hmmm... possibly :)
[19:25] <TJ-> JOW: Yes
[19:25] <JOW> including # 10.202.110.0/23
[19:25] <latk> TJ-: Giving it a go :)
[19:25] <TJ-> JOW: the lines with # are comments to help understand the file later
[19:25] <TJ-> latk: EHCI is USB2 support. handoff would infer handing over control to something
[19:26] <TJ-> latk: usually the kernel takes over the USB controllers but GRUB doesn't - by default - include/load any of its USBmodules - although it can
[19:26] <latk> Hm
[19:26] <latk> Well, this also appears to not have worked
[19:27] <ioria> latk, what are you trying to do ?
[19:27] <latk> ioria: get to recovery mode so I can reset the password on an old box :s
[19:27] <shr3k> Hey guys, I just tried to follow a guide for setting up KVM... and adfter running "sudo apt-get install kvm ubuntu-vm-builder libvirt-bin bridge-utils" and rebooting I can no longer access ssh, I can boot recovery but not sure how to diagnose the problem or add an iptable in recovery!
[19:28] <ioria> latk, but the system boots ?
[19:28] <latk> ioria: Oh, yeah
[19:28] <cristian_> hi guys!
[19:28] <latk> I just don't see a grub menu at any point
[19:28] <ioria> latk, and shift not working ?
[19:28] <latk> ioria: Doesn't appear to be
[19:28] <cristian_> i've got a problem: my keyboard has got enter key broken, in Windows I use AutohotKey to bind RightShift (which i don't use) to be the Enter key. On Linux how can i do something similar?
[19:28] <ioria> latk, try ESC
[19:28] <latk> ioria: Giving it a go now
[19:28] <JOW> TJ I have administrator profile but it says I don't have permission to alter the file
[19:29] <BluesKaj> m
[19:29] <JOW> TJ 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 miss
[19:29] <ioria> latk, you have to take the time right after the bios
[19:29] <latk> ioria: Aha! That seems to work!
[19:29] <michiil> so no ideas about the bluetooth wake thing?
[19:29] <ioria> latk, yay
[19:30] <BluesKaj> cristian_, use the eter key in the numbers section unless it's laptop
[19:30] <Bashing-om> latk: If this is a UEFI system grub does look for the escape key - repeated press release - there is but a 3 second window of opportunity .
[19:30] <BluesKaj> err enter
[19:30] <ioria> latk, remember to remount rw the filesystem
[19:30] <cristian_> BluesKaj: is what i'm doing just now, but is very unconfotable if you use the keyboard a lot
[19:31] <wileee> cristian_, this the ubuntu unity desktop
[19:31] <BluesKaj> cristian_, understood
[19:31] <JOW> TJ it says I don't have permission to write in the file! =(
[19:32] <wileee> !ccsm | cristian_ if so, look in an installed ccsm for key assignment
[19:32] <cristian_> wileee: i know that ubuntu doesn't have a built-in option to do this. I was hoping that some of you could know some software that suits this need or may some terminal/script trick
[19:32] <JOW> TJ does it needs to be the root user?
[19:33] <wileee> cristian_, it does have a built in to some degree in ccsm
[19:33] <ajnr>  how to remove the lines if it contains other script then A-Z and 0-9, please help me out , http://paste.ubuntu.com/12316020/
[19:33] <ajnr>  how to remove the lines from a text file if it contains other script then A-Z and 0-9, please help me out , http://paste.ubuntu.com/12316020/
[19:34] <cristian_> !compiz
[19:34] <latk> ioria, Bashing-om: So the prompt that has come up is not the grub menu that I am used to
[19:34] <latk> How can I get into recovery mode from this grub> prompt?
[19:34] <MonkeyDust> ajnr  you can do that with sed, i guess... if you don't get an answer here, ask in #bash for details
[19:35] <ioria> latk, advanced
[19:35] <ioria> options
[19:35] <ajnr> MonkeyDust, okey
[19:35] <shr3k> This is getting stupid!  I am getting connection refused on ssh, on a root server, so no access, recovery logs not yielding any info I can make sensee of...
[19:35] <JOW> TJ ?? Do I need to be the root (superuser)?
[19:35] <latk> ioria: Neither of these are commands that work
[19:36] <ioria> latk, what you see ?
[19:36] <latk> just tabbing gives things like acip all_functional_test
[19:36] <latk> at a prompt that just says grub>
[19:36] <ioria> latk, that's he grub shell....
[19:37] <latk> ah
[19:37] <latk> possibly i accidentally pressed something
[19:37] <latk> will try again
[19:38] <latk> ioria: Pressing escape just takes me straight to this shell
[19:38] <ioria> latk, no...
[19:39] <ioria> latk, you have to keep up with shift then ...
[19:39] <latk> ioria: Well shit. Okay. What is the grub shell for, by the way?
[19:40] <ioria> latk, i think so... you don't do anything from there if the system boots regularly
[19:41] <mimi> Bonsoir bonsoir :)
[19:41] <ioria> latk, brug shell is a rescur tool
[19:41] <ioria> rescue
[19:41] <ioria> latk, brub shell is a rescue tool
[19:42] <mimi> could anyone a
[19:42] <latk> ioria: Neither shift appears to do anything :?
[19:42] <latk> :(
[19:42] <la00> hello
[19:42] <ioria> latk, boot and modify /etc/default/grub
[19:43] <latk> will that require sudo access? That is the password I am trying to reset in the first place :p
[19:43] <ioria> latk, ohhh
[19:44] <ioria> latk, usb live then
[19:44] <latk> Yeah, I guessed
[19:44] <latk> ioria: Okay, lets see if I can work out how to mount the drive :s
[19:44] <ioria> latk, you mount the partition, chroot, and passwd user
[19:44] <MasterPhi> Hey guys, I'm having a lot of bugs with rendering on Chrome. Pretty sure it's related to my VGA (Intel HD4600). Does anyone know how to fix this?
[19:45] <ioria> latk, let me see if Eric^^ is around
[19:45] <EriC^^> what's up?
[19:45] <la00> I've upgraded from ubuntu 14.04 to 14.10, but it went wrong...now I execute apt-get install -f and get this: http://pastie.org/10406025
[19:46] <ioria> Eric^^ ... latk cannot make grub screen show up... and need to reset passwd
[19:46] <la00> I'm currently running on an older kernel availble on the grub list
[19:46] <EriC^^> try esc
[19:46] <ioria> Eric^^  maybe he can do it from livecd
[19:46] <la00> 3.13.0-63-generic
[19:46] <latk> EriC^^: Esc gets me to the grub shell
[19:46] <wileee> la00, 14.10 is eol, did you know this?
[19:47] <ioria> Eric^^  it takes him to grun shell ...
[19:47] <EriC^^> hmm, what does he get before that?
[19:47] <latk> EriC^^, ioria: I now try to mount the partition from live cd, but get unkown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'
[19:47] <ioria> Eric^^  purple screen
[19:47] <latk> EriC^^: Prior to that there is the bios, then a black screen with a purple boarder.
[19:48] <EriC^^> latk: sudo apt-get install lvm2
[19:48] <latk> then the login prompt
[19:48] <la00> wileee>I wanted to upgrade to 15.04, but I had to upgrade to 14.10 before
[19:48] <latk> EriC^^: lvm2 is already the newest version
[19:48] <latk> Oh wait, it isn't online yet
[19:48] <latk> maybe there is a newer one
[19:48] <EriC^^> latk: ok, type sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999
[19:48] <la00> not sure if it's possible to upgrade directly to 15.04..and 15.10 is almost out
[19:49] <EriC^^> latk: so you get a purple screen right now and if you press esc you get a grub> ?
[19:49] <BluesKaj> la00, run sudo dpkg --configure -a, then the -f command
[19:49] <latk> EriC^^: Yes
[19:49] <llwll> i can't upgrade my system, get this error http://pastebin.com/nekmbqpE
[19:50] <llwll> any way to fix this?
[19:50] <la00> BluesKaj>I get the same effect...
[19:50] <BluesKaj> la00, is this a clean or a 'net install?
[19:51] <la00> when I startup It ask me to upgrade to 15.04 but not sure if I'll get an worse issue afterwards
[19:51] <MonkeyDust> llwll  looks like a 32/64bit problem to me
[19:51] <Bashing-om> latk: EriC^^ Was away from the keyboard. is this an encrypted hard drive issue ?
[19:51] <llwll> MonkeyDust: can't even remove it :/
[19:51] <ioria> latk, good luck
[19:51] <ioria> Eric^^  Thanx
[19:51] <MonkeyDust> llwll  what's the outcome of   cat /etc/issue
[19:52] <BluesKaj> la00, did you update and upgrade the packages in 14.04 first?
[19:52] <latk> Bashing-om: This is an old machine that I realise I need some data from, but I have forgotten the sudo password. I don't remember if the home dir is encrypted
[19:52] <llwll> MonkeyDust: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS \n \l
[19:52] <EriC^^> latk: type sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999
[19:52] <la00> BluesKaj>not sure what you mean....I had 14.04 and I've installed a couple of days after the release (from usb). This update was from the web.
[19:52] <latk> EriC^^: nc: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known
[19:52] <latk> oops
[19:52] <latk> my mistake
[19:52] <latk> one sec
[19:52] <la00> BluesKaj>Yep I did all the updates
[19:52] <MonkeyDust> llwll  ok, pastebin the output of   sudo apt update
[19:53] <latk> EriC^^: http://termbin.com/wvih
[19:54] <EriC^^> latk: type sudo blkid -p /dev/sda
[19:55] <BluesKaj> la00, and dist-upgrade too? that upgrades all the kernel modules
[19:55] <llwll> MonkeyDust: http://pastebin.com/7Tvu4g9v
[19:55] <latk> EriC^^: Ah, sdb is the actual install drive I think.
[19:55]  * llwll knows he shouldn't be using 32bit anymore
[19:55] <BluesKaj> make sure LTS update manager is disabled , la00
[19:56] <latk> for sdb pttype="gpt"
[19:56] <latk> EriC^^: ^^
[19:56] <la00> BluesKaj>apt-get  dist-upgrade?
[19:56] <BluesKaj> yes with sudo
[19:56] <la00> BluesKaj>where do I check that LTS update manager is disabled?
[19:57] <BluesKaj> in the software center
[19:57] <EriC^^> latk: ok try sudo parted -l and press y that it's gpt
[19:57] <la00> BluesKaj> is there a file where I can check that? ...the system is very slow
[19:57] <TJ-> latk When you hold Esc at boot and get the GRUB command shell prompt, type 'exit' will return to the boot menu
[19:58] <BluesKaj> la00, don't think it matters anyway there's no LTS to upgrade to :-)
[19:58] <latk> TJ-: Oh.
[19:59] <TJ-> latk: you can also type 'help' to get an overview of the available commands, if you ever get stranded there again
[19:59] <MonkeyDust> llwll  what's the in.release? i don't have those
[20:00] <llwll> MonkeyDust: no idea, i upgraded this machine from 12.04
[20:01] <la00> BluesKaj> sudo apt-get  dist-upgrade has the same outcome of sudo apt-get install -f
[20:01] <TJ-> MonkeyDust: InRelease are inline-signed Release files; Release on its own needs the detached signature file Release.gpg
[20:02] <TJ-> MonkeyDust: the "Ign" shows they are Ignored though, in favour of the Release/Release.gpg
[20:02] <la00> BluesKaj> where can I check the full trace of the apt-get command? tried  sudo apt-get  install -f > file.txt
[20:02] <JOW> TJ now it's not connecting to internet anymore
[20:02] <JOW> TJ gonna lose my job bro
[20:02] <TJ-> JOW: that means the 'gateway' is incorrect
[20:02] <la00> but I don't get all the output
[20:02] <epaphus> Hi guys, can Tomcat 8 be installed in Ubuntu 14.04?
[20:02] <JOW> TJ but it's the gateway I get on route -n
[20:03] <lotuspsychje> epaphus: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-apache-tomcat-8-on-ubuntu-14-04
[20:03] <la00> gedit /var/log/apt/term.log
[20:03] <llwll> TJ-: any help? http://pastebin.com/RppaNzyz
[20:03] <TJ-> JOW: so how are you determiniing it cannot connect to the Internet?
[20:03] <MonkeyDust> llwll  yes, the inRelease are ignored, didnt notice...
[20:04] <lotuspsychje> epaphus: there is also a #tomcat channel for more specific support
[20:04] <JOW> because the signal that shows it is not showing on the upper right corner... TJ
[20:04] <BluesKaj> la00, did you use, sudo do-release-upgrade, to upgrade to 14.10? or the package manager
[20:04] <JOW> It's not getting into internet TJ
[20:04] <TJ-> llwll: corrupted status file "/var/lib/dpkg/status"
[20:05] <la00> BluesKaj>used the gui that appears when the systms boots
[20:05] <JOW> I have a monitor plugged on my intel NUC TJ
[20:05] <llwll> TJ-: would a rm fix that?
[20:05] <la00> then followed the steps
[20:05] <TJ-> JOW: did you reboot the device ?
[20:05] <JOW> yyep
[20:05] <JOW> after I reboot no internet TJ
[20:05] <Xeth> this ubuntu server support aswell?
[20:06] <TJ-> JOW: OK, and what is this 'signal that shows it' - do you mean the Network Manager's Icon doesn't show a WiFi signal radiating icon?
[20:06] <BluesKaj> la00, live media, dvd, usb ?
[20:06] <epaphus> lotuspsychje, thank you.
[20:06] <JOW> yes, upper right corner
[20:06] <lotuspsychje> !server | Xeth
[20:06] <MonkeyDust> llwll  my guess is, that some 12.04 package no longre exists in 14.04... that's what the upgrade struggles with
[20:06] <JOW> I'm sure if I open the browser I can't get to any site
[20:07] <ajnr> Please help me to delete the lines containing  Bengali script from the text file http://paste.ubuntu.com/12316020/
[20:07] <TJ-> JOW. That is to be expected. You've manually defined the settings for wlan0 therefore NetworkManager knows not to manage that interface because it would cause conflicting settings.
[20:07] <EriC^^> latk: did you try sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999 ?
[20:07] <la00> BluesKaj>not sure I understand the question...I currently have ubuntu installed on my disk as my only OS
[20:07] <TJ-> JOW: In a terminal on the NUC do "ping -nc 5 8.8.8.8"
[20:07] <latk> EriC^^: yes
[20:08] <latk> EriC^^: http://termbin.com/wvih
[20:08] <JOW> Destination host unreachable
[20:08] <JOW> 100% packs lost
[20:08] <BluesKaj> la00, whay method are you using to install 14.10?
[20:08] <JOW> TJ
[20:09] <EriC^^> latk: ok, try sudo parted -l , then press y
[20:09] <BluesKaj> what
[20:09] <TJ-> JOW: OK, now do "ip route show" and tell me what the line that has 'default' in it, says
[20:09] <llwll> TJ-: how do i fix the corrupted /var/lib/dpkg/status?
[20:09] <la00> BluesKaj>here http://pastie.org/10406060 is the full log for sudo apt-get -f install
[20:09] <JOW> via 10.202.110.1 dev wlan0
[20:09] <TJ-> llwll: there should be a "/var/log/dpkg/status-old" back-up. You should move the "/var/log/dpkg/status" file to another name and rename the backup
[20:10] <JOW> of course after default TJ
[20:10] <latk> EriC^^: I ge ta list of my devices - what am I looking for?
[20:10] <la00> BluesKaj>I was using 14.04LTS, then the update manager said that there were a new version if I wanted to upgrade
[20:10] <JOW> It's the gateway number TJ
[20:10] <llwll> TJ-: fixed it, thanks a ton
[20:11] <llwll> thanks MonkeyDust
[20:11] <EriC^^> latk: can you paste it in paste.ubuntu.com ?
[20:11] <la00> BluesKaj>I said yes...I was avoiding because usually I get this kind of errors... but seems that 15.04 has some perfomance improvements and I decided to upgrade it
[20:11] <BluesKaj> la00. forget the update manager, run sudo do-release-upgrade in the terminal
[20:11] <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'
[20:12] <la00> BluesKaj>cool is running
[20:12] <JOW> TJ I didn't change anything with oimi
[20:12] <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'
[20:14] <JOW> So you think I should comment those lines I just added in "interface" reboot, get online, then configure the wpa_supplicant?
[20:14] <JOW> TJ
[20:14] <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 address
[20:15] <la00> BluesKaj>is downloading stuff...hopefully it works...If I don't come back after the instalation is because somethine went wrong lol
[20:15] <JOW> TJ Okay so I change back the /etc/network/interfaces to how it was?
[20:15] <JOW> right? TJ
[20:15] <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: correct
[20:16] <TJ-> JOW:  then do "sudo service network-manager restart"
[20:16] <TJ-> JOW: that should have NM take over wlan0 again
[20:17] <BluesKaj> la00, depending on your internet connection speed it could take over an hr to 90 mins after all packages are installed and configured
[20:17] <JOW> It connected to internet TJ I guess that's a good sign
[20:18] <JOW> Okay, 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 bonus
[20:18] <TJ-> JOW: No
[20:18] <JOW> I'm sorry maybe I'm using the term internet wrongly
[20:18] <TJ-> JOW: To set a static lease you need to edit the configuration on the gateway/router/DHCP server
[20:19] <JOW> TJ 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 NUC
[20:19] <BluesKaj> good 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?
[20:20] <JOW> TJ I'm at a university
[20:20] <BluesKaj> openvpn with PIA server
[20:20] <BluesKaj> TJ-,^'
[20:21] <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 can
[20:21] <BluesKaj> TJ-, NM handles openvpn nicely though
[20:21] <la00> BluesKaj>okay...this will upgrade to 15.04?
[20:22] <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] <JOW> TJ okay... you know the IP wasn't changing before, right?
[20:22] <karmic_koala> hi ubuntus, does anyone came across the situation that XORG is requesting the EDID data of the monitor 4 (four) times ?
[20:22] <JOW> Before I had to provide my password everytime I connected to the wireless
[20:22] <JOW> TJ
[20:22] <BluesKaj> la00, from 14.04 to 14.10  first
[20:22] <JOW> and it would not change the IP TJ
[20:23] <JOW> after I configured so I could connect without password this problem began TJ
[20:23] <BluesKaj> TJ-, yeah , that's what I went back to using NM
[20:23] <BluesKaj> why rather
[20:24] <TJ-> JOW, probably that was luck. Maybe 'before' there weren't so many devices connecting to the sub-net
[20:24] <JOW> Does 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] <JOW> I 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 IP
[20:24] <TJ-> JOW: no
[20:25] <TJ-> JOW: Why not address the NUC by it's hostname rather than by IP?
[20:25] <JOW> I had the IP memorized TJ
[20:25] <TJ-> JOW: if the campus DNS is updated by the DHCP server when it assigns the lease, then the name should resolve
[20:25] <JOW> hehehe I don't know much about linux TJ
[20:26] <JOW> I never ssh in any other way but with the IP
[20:26] <TJ-> JOW: a new IP is a function of the DHCP server policy. Maybe the lease reservation time was reduced. Ask the IT Admin
[20:27] <mab_> Good evening. My name is Maciej.
[20:28] <JOW> TJ what's a hostname
[20:28] <JOW> ?
[20:28] <MonkeyDust> JOW  the name of your pc
[20:28] <MonkeyDust> JOW  your pc is the host
[20:29] <JOW> I think my intel NUC is the host. I think both my intel NUC and my PC have the same name TJ
[20:31] <JOW> MonkeyDust I think my intel NUC is the host. I think both my intel NUC and my PC have the same name
[20:31] <MonkeyDust> JOW  what's the output of   cat /etc/hostname
[20:32] <JOW> BMO
[20:33] <MonkeyDust> JOW  i just read the upper lines, i read that you need to contact your it administrator
[20:35] <TJ-> JOW: usually each device has a unique hostname. That is the name used to resolve the device's IP address via DNS. www.ubuntu.com is a hostname.
[20:36] <LambdaComplex> Did someone highlight me in here?
[20:36] <Aladiah> AFter BIOs update, i cant see the grup to choose Lubuntu anymore! IT start with windows .how to do to see grub menu again _
[20:36] <JOW> well TJ MonkeyDust I just rebooted and didn't alter the IP... I'll try again
[20:37] <ubuntu_tech> I need help piping a certain result from blkid to a variable in bash. Can someone help?
[20:37] <JOW> TJ MonkeyDust if doenst change then everything is fine
[20:37] <JOW> wow it's keeping the IP guys TJ MonkeyDust
[20:38] <JOW> It's fine by me
[20:38] <JOW> not sure wh
[20:38] <JOW> y
[20:40] <chachin> how does this place not have people talking non stop right now
[20:41] <tgm4883> chachin: most of us are here to help
[20:41] <chachin> NetworkingPro is not here to help he's a troll
[20:42]  * NetworkingPro agrees. But feels you can be a helpful troll.
[20:43] <TJ-> JOW: it'll depend on the how busy the network is with device churn
[20:45] <JOW> TJ if it changes again I'll just contact the IT administrator then...
[20:45] <JOW> I hope it doens't... =/
[20:48] <Kion> for some reason when I try to pull the printers dialog of the system, it takes very long to come up and also even though I have a printer there It wont show on the different programs print dialog...
[20:49] <arcsky> Hi guys, how do you guys recommend to remote your ubuntu server from a windows machine?
[20:50] <ecylmz> arcsky: Putty ssh
[20:50] <aotea> arcsky: I used to PuTTy into mine before I saw the light that is ubuntu desktop
[20:51] <TJ-> desktop on a server? urgh!
[20:53] <tgm4883> TJ-: I think he was saying he SSHs to the server. When he used windows he used putty, but now he uses ubuntu as his desktop (meaning the server is still terminal only)
[20:53] <aotea> tgm4883: exactly
[21:10] <arcsky> ecdhe: aotea i mean GUI
[21:12] <Silenced> Guys i have separate partitions for root and /home . Now i wish to reinstall ubuntu . Does removing previous ubuntu and installing the new one delete the file in /home
[21:13] <Silenced> ?
[21:13] <MonkeyDust> Silenced  no... during installation, format /, but don't format /home
[21:13] <Silenced> Files**
[21:14] <Silenced> MonkeyDust : Even the download , music , pictures folders wont be deleted ?
[21:14] <MonkeyDust> Silenced  however, it's always wise to have a backup
[21:14] <MonkeyDust> Silenced  everythig inside /home/username remains untouched
[21:15] <Silenced> 👍👍👍
[21:15] <Silenced> Thanks man !
[21:18] <TJ-> tgm4883: aotea Ahhhhhh.... gave me shudders for a moment there!
[21:31] <freeone3000> I'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.
[21:33] <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 available
[21:33] <Hack3r> test
[21:34] <freeone3000> TJ-: I have lo, eth0, eth1, virbr0, and docker0. virbr0 (virtual bridge?) is saying there's no carrier.
[21:35] <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 why
[21:38] <freeone3000> Ah. 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.
[21:50] <kryko> .
[21:52] <bruce_lee> hello @all
[21:53] <bruce_lee> I want to install ubuntu, is there an ubuntu iso-image with less than 700MB?
[21:54] <OerHeks> bruce_lee, the mini iso, but you will need internet to install a desktop environment
[21:54] <OerHeks> !mini
[21:54] <bruce_lee> I can only burn cd and the cds I have are ~700MB
[21:54] <Johnny_Linux>  haki..saki...HA!
[21:54] <bruce_lee> I tried the minimal.iso with ~30MB
[21:54] <bruce_lee> it didn't work for me...
[21:55] <MonkeyDust> bruce_lee  maybe 12.04 is smaller than 700
[21:55] <bruce_lee> MonkeyDust: I guess I can do an update to the current lts?
[21:55] <genii> bruce_lee: If you can boot to USB and have a stick larger than 700MB I'd probably try that instead
[21:55] <MonkeyDust> bruce_lee  yes, not sure about the size of 12.04, tho
[21:57] <bruce_lee> ok, I need to duckduckgo these infos, thanks everybody
[21:57] <oshogun> Greetings fellow linuxers
[21:57] <TJ-> bruce_lee: the trusty server ISO is small enough
[21:58] <haskellberry_pie> how do i know if im on 32 or 64 bit?
[21:58] <Muimi> How much space will I need on my partition for an ubuntu install that's just made for web hosting (php and ruby on rails) and office?
[21:58] <Muimi> Is 50 gigs too little?
[21:58] <MonkeyDust> bruce_lee  just looked, the 12.04 desktop iso is 750MB
[21:58] <bruce_lee> MonkeyDust: :( it's too big
[21:59] <bruce_lee> 700MB is my limit
[21:59] <TJ-> Muimi: for the OS installation? no more than 12GiB tops, I'd be surprised if the installed packages take 6GiB
[21:59] <bekks> bruce_lee: So use the server iso.
[21:59] <k1l> haskellberry_pie: uname -a      and then look at the output
[21:59] <TJ-> bruce_lee: use the server iso, then install the desktop of your choice
[21:59] <Muimi> So 50 gigs would be enough to just host up a scratchpad web server for ROR and PHP
[21:59] <MonkeyDust> bruce_lee  http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/
[22:01] <bruce_lee> I want to install linux for a friend of mine, is trusty thar version  14.04.3 a good choice?
[22:01] <OerHeks> bruce_lee, why des the mini iso not work for you, too new machine with UEFI bios or what?
[22:02] <bruce_lee> it's a laptop, I guess it may be 2 or 3 years old
[22:02] <bruce_lee> first, I couldn't get it into my wlan (wpa2)
[22:03] <bruce_lee> it didn't found any ssid either
[22:03] <OerHeks> for some wifi devices you will need the internet, use a cable then
[22:04] <bruce_lee> during eth0-installation, I applied for many desktop-environments to be installed through eth0, now it's not booting
[22:04] <bruce_lee> I had a error-message, that some of the chosen packages couldn't be insalled
[22:05] <darrennnnn> hi i'm running an ubuntu live cd on a windows computer with ntfs drives that are failing. i was tipped off that using "dd" was a good resource to quickly dump info off. is there a channel i can go into for a teensy amount of hand-holding in this regard?
[22:05] <bruce_lee> so I chose the next of the installation, the next step was the installation of "grub" as boot-loader...
[22:06] <Muimi> Also, can anyone recommend a basic beginner's guide to ubuntu that I can just read online?  Name of a book?
[22:07] <MonkeyDust> !manual | Muimi
[22:07] <Bashing-om> !manual Muimi
[22:07] <Muimi> So can I just confirm: 50 gigs seems like it would for sure be enough?  Maybe even 20 would be cool?
[22:07] <Muimi> ror, php, ubuntu OS, fairly minimal
[22:08] <bruce_lee> my german-keyboard was not recognized...
[22:11] <bruce_lee> Muimi: you might want to consider virtualbox or simliar software to try out operating-systems
[22:14] <nandran> why does everyone recommend virtualbox,  oracle spits in the face of FOSS.
[22:16] <f10w3r5> it's free.
[22:17] <nandran> so is vmware player and kvm
[22:18] <cybergig22> Ello there
[22:18] <cybergig22> :D
[22:21] <k1l> nandran: user convienience. if you want to talk about foss better talk to the fsf guys
[22:22] <bruce_lee> virtualbox is free (GPLv2), it could be more "free"...
[22:32] <nandran> I am saying why 'recommend' software from such a brutal company as oracle when there are much better alternatives.  these people steal source code and sell it for millions of dollars.  they go against everything GNU/Linux represents.
[22:32] <ExeciN> how can I set sshd to accept connections from WAN?
[22:33] <MonkeyDust> nandran  discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:33] <Kevin-K> hi folks.
[22:34] <Kevin-K> can anyone help me wiuth the use of a laptop scereen and a 2nd 4:3 screen?
[22:34] <Kevin-K> this laaptop is old and that screen even older
[22:36] <Kevin-K> xubunto 14.04.1 LTS is what I have running
[22:36] <dreks> I installed Ubuntu 15.04 mini and HDMI worked during install, but after reboot I have no signal. lspci shows "VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Wrestler [Radeon HD 6310]"
[22:38] <TJ-> To check how the X server currrently understands the GPU/monitor configuration use "xrandr -q"
[22:39] <dreks> i get Can't open display
[22:39] <dreks> I'm having to ssh to it because I can't get monitor display
[22:40] <TJ-> dreks: Ahhh. Is the X server started? If so then this should do it: "DISPLAY=:0.0 xrandr -q"
[22:41] <dreks> I'm trying to do a server setup so I haven't installed xorg
[22:41] <dreks> normally I can at least get a text login
[22:42] <TJ-> dreks: OK. is it using the open source  drivers?
[22:43] <dreks> yes
[22:43] <dreks> I can see it in dmesg
[22:43] <dreks> [drm] radeon kernel modesetting enabled.
[22:43] <dreks> fb: switching to radeondrmfb from VESA VGA
[22:43] <dreks> etc.
[22:46] <dreks> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12317126/
[22:46] <dreks> There is the full dmesg output of dmesg |egrep 'drm|rade'
[22:48] <dreks> does the "registered panic notifier" mean that the OSS drivers are crashing ?
[22:48] <dreks> I literally have installed nothing besides basic ubuntu server and openssh server on the mini install
[22:50] <dreks> I've been fine with ubuntu 12.04 through 14.04 on this same hardware and never had this problem
[22:55] <cybergig22> I need help with something... o_O im having network connectivity issues in this machine I am on with a fluky wirless addapter and I want to switch adapters to the one i was using, thing is since the upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 it stopped working, the adapter is a Linksys WUSB6300
[22:55] <cybergig22> the one I want to switch too
[22:55] <michaelaguiar> Curious, do you guys feel Google Cloud or AWS is better for performance?
[23:03] <Rhino_Crash> Hello everybody I hope my question has an easy answer :)) There is a running program redirected to the DISPLAY 0.0 I would like to switch the output to the display 50.0 Without stopping that program. The reason is taht I am sitting by the monitor remotely and I do not see Display 0.0. And I wuld not like to interrupt the running program. Any suggestions?
[23:03] <andywork> I have a 32bit 12.04 ubuntu machine and I want to install some 64bit libs. How can i do that using apt-get?
[23:04] <jux1e> andywork: why do you need 64 bit libs ?
[23:07] <grrrrrrr> andywork, that's not going to work, i think
[23:08] <lildudespider> hello there
[23:09] <allen> Hi, is it possible to manually install the "moto4lin" .deb file from 10.04 LTS Lucid, into 14.04 Trusty? Will this work?
[23:09] <wyoung> Hello, 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?)
[23:10] <andywork> jux1e: to compile a 64bit program
[23:10] <lildudespider> is it possible to recover files deleted from a samba share with a program such as photorec?
[23:10] <Ben64> allen: probably not
[23:10] <jux1e> andywork: you can't compile 32bit version of it?
[23:10] <wyoung> lildudespider: It is possible
[23:11] <wyoung> lildudespider: although such programs will dump everything that used to be on the drive (if it wasn't already overwritten)
[23:11] <allen> Ben64: 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.
[23:12] <wyoung> so 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 ;))
[23:13] <Ben64> allen: have you tried p2kmoto? its in 14.04
[23:13] <andywork> jux1e: i can, but i want to target a 64bit build
[23:13] <allen> No, haven't heard of it before. Do you think that might work with an old Motorola w385?
[23:13] <andywork> perhaps the easiest way is to throw a 64bit version of ubuntu onto the machine then
[23:14] <Ben64> allen: maybe
[23:14] <allen> Ben64: I'll give it a shot, thanks
[23:15] <wyoung> ok I have also loaded the gre and pptp net filter modules, anything else?
[23:15] <wyoung> ok, a reboot was required too it looks like
[23:16] <TechMonger> anyone know how to get a linksys wifi card to work on ubuntu?
[23:16] <rockstar_> I was trying to write some python code to create voice commands to do some tasks in Ubuntu. Any working reference?
[23:17] <Ben64> TechMonger: which card, which ubuntu
[23:17] <TechMonger> ubuntu 14.04
[23:18] <TechMonger> Linksys WMP54GS v1.1 802.11g Wireless-G PCI Adapter with SpeedBooster
[23:18] <Ben64> you might want to get a better adapter
[23:18] <TechMonger> =[
[23:19] <Ben64> its old, its slow, its broadcom
[23:19] <TechMonger> its all i have
[23:19] <MACscr|lappy> test
[23:19] <MACscr|lappy> ok, that worked. lol.
[23:19] <grrrrrrr> andywork, you could use a 64 bit chroot
[23:20] <MACscr|lappy> so how do i find out what desktop environment i am running? I am trying to get hdmi audio out to work. I have it working fine with Plex Home Theater, but cant get it to work with a browser
[23:20] <TJ-> dreks: It looks like it could be an issue with the built-in Framebuffer Console device (fbcon) that sits on top of the framebuffer driver.
[23:21] <dreks> TJ-: hrm, ok. not sure what to do about that, but ill try researching. thanks
[23:22] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: hello :)
[23:22] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: yesterday i couldn't reboot...
[23:22] <andywork> grrrrrrr: my linux is not as up-to-date as it once was, could you elaborate a bit further?
[23:23] <Bashing-om> JeanMV: I am here .. current status ?
[23:23] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: can't boot ubuntu, currently writing from my mac...
[23:24] <dreks> In 15.04 I read somewhere that org.freedesktop.upower and org.freedesktop.consolekit.system were depricated now.. and that I should use org.freedesktop.login1 instead.
[23:24] <dreks> Is that accurate?
[23:24] <grrrrrrr> andywork, basically, you set up a 64-bit environment with debootstrap and chroot into it. You might need some qemu magic to get it all working
[23:24] <Bashing-om> JeanMV: We were installing graphics drivers, the best I recall for your card nvidia recommended the 352 version. What version did you choose ?
[23:25] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: we did autoinstall
[23:26] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: we first purged every Nvidia drivers, then autoinstall
[23:26] <Bashing-om> JeanMV: K. let's boot up ubuntu: 1st is what firmware .. is this a UEFI system ?
[23:28] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: Ubuntu is on an old Sony Viaio of my girlfriend, can't boot, gets stuck: "Starting Light Display Manager... and deal with any system changes..p link was shut down....."
[23:30] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: is there an emergency boot, just terminal?
[23:30] <Bashing-om> JeanMV: K; Pre UEFI system. Let's boot ubuntu, boot the box and as soon as the bios screen clears depress and hold a shift key , do you get the grub boot selection menu ?
[23:31] <andywork> grrrrrrr: thank you sir
[23:31] <TJ-> dreks: It's worth seeing if there's mention of the fbcom device in dmesg. the radeonfb shows the outputs are detected
[23:32] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: OK, which option should i choose?
[23:32] <TJ-> dreks: also, 15.04 has systemd init by default rather than upstart. That could be a factor too.
[23:33] <Bashing-om> JeanMV: For now, choose advance -> and any recovery kernel -> "resume normal boot' . We want to look at the log file, see what took place .
[23:35] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: chose advanced, and now i have kernels 3.19.0-26 generic, same with upstart or recovery mode
[23:35] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: same with kernel 3.19.0-15
[23:37] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: i guess latest kernel + recovery?
[23:37] <Bashing-om> JeanMV: Yepper, that will do for our purpose -- hey did we install the pasteninit tool ? as we want to post a log file ?
[23:38] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: loading... never heard of pasteinit
[23:39] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: i have other options to choose from now... failsafeX ?
[23:39] <Bashing-om> JeanMV: K; then instead of "resume normal boor" choose "enable networking' and then "resume normal boot" .
[23:39] <combatdud3> I have a really odd issue. I'm attempting to perform a net install. I have set up a local mirror in order to speed up the process. Anna pulls all the packages from the mirror successfully, but it doesn't look like it is caching them. So debootstrap fails. I am not all too familiar with the install process so I'm not sure where to go from here.
[23:40] <Bashing-om> JeanMV: What release is this ? 13.04 or 15.04 ?
[23:40] <Bashing-om> 14.04*
[23:40] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: 15.04
[23:41] <Bashing-om> JeanMV: OH boy, no experience with systemd, what 15.04 uses ... we be struggling to get us a desk top in 15.04 due to my ignorance .
[23:41] <MACscr|lappy> how do i know if my app is using pulseaudio or alsa?
[23:42] <MACscr|lappy> right now i have plex home theatre working great with hdmi audio, but everything else on my lubuntu box cant do audio
[23:43] <dirtysnow> u need JACK
[23:43] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: i'm now at the login windows, but can't login - it starts loading, black screen, back to log in windows
[23:43] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: modesty... you mean my ignorance
[23:44] <rockstar_> is there any good speech to text library in Ubuntu?
[23:45] <Bashing-om> JeanMV: Then we need to boot to terminal rather than to the GUI login screen . Lemme go ask for help . As I do not know 15.04 . --- not your's only .. ignorance is mine too ... but that condition can be corrected .
[23:46] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: THANK YOU
[23:47] <Bashing-om> JeanMV: Unfortanclely all the peeps I was going to inquire of are presently off-line ... uncle google here I come .
[23:48] <combatdud3> Does anyone know where I can find a decent resource on the debian install process at a low level?
[23:49] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: i googled myself, but don't have enough knowledge to understand / act based on the results...
[23:55] <Bashing-om> JeanMV: I do have a 15.04 test install... and I have tried to boot to terminal. My attempts, though I can, all result with no networking enabled. We need a terminal. try this .. boot to the recovery console .. and choose "root" and "networking: .. then we enable read/write acces to the file system ; and install the pastebinit tool to allow pasting the log file to our pastbin site .
[23:56] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: rebooting
[23:58] <JeanMV> Bashing-om: i'm on root now
[23:58] <K350> What do pople chat with now when ICQ and MSN seems to be out?
