[00:06] I am trying to install a HP P1006 printer... I am amazed I have to use the propietary HP drivers. [00:07] knob: Who told you that? [00:07] thedanyes, I plugged the printer in, it's not working... so I am googling, and everything I read is to install their drivers. [00:07] HP supports linux perfectly [00:07] I don't want hp crap in my machine. [00:07] and Yes, you have to accept their license [00:08] If I wanted that, I would buy a Windows box. [00:08] Doesn't the drivers that Ubuntu bring support a "universal driver" that will work? [00:08] Or does it have to be with the hp one? [00:08] Ah yeah sounds like you need a proprietary driver. [00:08] Have you tried to install hplip [00:08] HP gives open drivers, afaik. [00:08] LOL [00:08] >buys an HP printer [00:08] >doesn't want HP crap [00:09] thedanyes, it's the available printer at the house I am at... didn't buy it myself. [00:09] collisionsystm, going to try that now... [00:09] Note: HPLIP is free, open source software distributed under the MIT, BSD, and GPL licenses. [00:10] hplip I like so far then! [00:10] * OerHeks thinks HP is the best partner, try Canon MUHAHAHA [00:11] i'm learning linux [00:12] GitGud, it [00:12] it's fun [00:12] yes it is. I'm a user of windows but I'm going to buy a new computer and force myself to use linux only [00:12] honestly i've used linux and its way better than windows [00:13] plus free software [00:13] I like the "power" over the machine that linux gives you. [00:14] GitGud, try and use the command line as much as you can [00:14] And keep a notebook full of hyperlinks to stuff [00:15] yeah its um, gives you more freedom [00:15] Awesome... hp software says it has printer, and nothing comes out of the printer. [00:15] what model printer is it [00:15] hp P1006 [00:16] Apparently its 100% supported [00:16] http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/laserjet/hp_laserjet_p1006.html [00:17] Yeah... I have printed in the past from another laptop I had... [00:17] yet... 0_o [00:17] YOu need this [00:17] http://hplipopensource.com/node/309 [00:17] 8 ("Required") A downloadable driver plug-in is required for printing support.

[00:20] Yet, that did it. [00:20] lol [00:20] Thank you very much =) [00:20] hp-setup pulled the binary 'blob' [00:20] You're welcome! [00:20] I find it funny hp can't constrain themselves from setting up a hp system tray thingy on the startup of the machine [00:20] I went ahead and removed it [00:20] You know,... just to know when the ink is low... [00:20] =) [00:21] Good stuff... haha thanks! [00:21] Well, 30 minutes later I printed out the page I wanted. Yet now I am a tiny bit wiser. [00:21] And I have a hp printer configured on this laptop. [00:21] =) [00:22] lol. hplip is good software [00:22] I'm going to print out wikiPedia [00:22] in the five major languages [00:22] please keep it on one line knob, no need to hit enter that much [00:22] I used to manage a centos server for a company and it acted as a print server. Trying to find working drivers can be interesting [00:22] hplib is pretty good. Sure think OerHeks. [00:23] collisionsystm, out of curiosity, how would it work? All printers configured on that CentOS server... and then the individual machines? [00:23] Did you configure the print server on them? Windows machines too? [00:23] The application was accessed on the server via telnet. It was a ticketing system for a waste management company [00:24] The printing would occur within the server itself to any 1 of 20 printers === bradjones is now known as bradjones|away [00:24] Lexmark...hp...dell... we didn't have a standard.

[00:26] http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/other/envy_4500_series.html [00:26] yes [00:26] However you will need to do the same as Knob and install the binary blob.

[00:59] I have cleaned the heads and all that nonsense and yet my papers appear blurry and multiple colors [01:00] what does linuxprinting.org database say about that printer [01:00] I know it's not my printer because I have used my desktop and my wifes laptop and those print out just fin [01:01] jonny_bravo: yeah. Printers are made to self destruct in a few years. [01:02] hello, is there a dedicated AppArmor channel? [01:02] what am i looking for on this linuxprinting.org? [01:02] what is the rating jonny_bravo [01:02] No printer is still good as i just finished stating that two other computers in my house print just fine [01:03] if it says paperweight thats not good [01:03] Im not familiar with that website so Im not sure what my rating would be [01:03] check that the appropriate printer drivers are installed, that site will tell you [01:03] jonny_bravo: did ur printer work before and work with linux [01:04] dirtvest this is the first time with using Ubuntu and this printer. [01:05] Or this laptop I should say. [01:05] last laptop running Ubuntu also had printing issues.

What make and model printer. [01:06] I cleared the partitions and not even that is helping [01:07] but what I do notice is that the partitioner is, for some reason, making the main partition swap instead of ext4 [01:07] Viper550: quick format the whole drive [01:07] I'm on the Kubuntu live USB. Which button does so? [01:07] dirtvest it's a EPSON Epson Stylus NX420 [01:08] Viper550: Have you done a S.M.A.R.T. check of this drive? Have you done an integrity test on the Ubuntu installation media you're using?

About to select a partition to do it on but I just wanted to check with you guys... [01:18] thanks dirtvest I will let you know if it works out [01:18] I'm supposed to choose "free space" and click "install now" right? [01:19] ninthDimension, a partition in not a free space. [01:20] is* [01:20] wileee: Oh so do I need to click the little + plus sign whilst "free space" is highlighted? [01:20] why is the history in the software center useless [01:20] doesn't show a package I just installed [01:20] 'cause you haven't fixed it yet [01:21] OneM_Industries: /var/log/ someplace [01:22] ninthDimension, I would not know without seeing the HD setup as of now, the channel needs the same basically, just to be sure same page and all. [01:22] Okay so I did manual partitioning in the installer and chose ext3 instead of ext4. It seems to be working now [01:23] I have under /dev/sda/ : /dev/sda1, which is tiny (windows bootlader?), /dev/sda2, which is NTFS and large (my main windows partition) and "free space". [01:23] So I want to create a partition... [01:24] Do I make it primary or logical? Beginning of space or end of space? What file system? Any "mount point"? [01:25] Viper550: Have you done an integrtiy test of the Ubuntu installation media you're using? You should definitely do that before installing, as if the media isn't good then the installation won't be either. [01:25] Or if I choose "Install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7" will it take care of this stff automatically for me? [01:26] ninthDimension: It will, and I recommend using that option. [01:27] Jordan_U Thanks man! :D [01:28] ninthDimension: You're welcome. [01:28] Just installed Ubuntu, I have intel integrated graphics hd 4600. When I go to system details, no graphics are shown. Ive tried using intel drivers updater, but no luck. Any ideas? [01:28] sharkasdf: what's the problem? [01:29] video drivers, or lack thereof [01:29] what makes you think you have hd 4600? [01:29] sharkasdf, "intel drivers updater" ?? i hope not the https://01.org/linuxgraphics one [01:29] Well, I don't think I have them. I just know my cpu supports them [01:30] sharkasdf: how do you know [01:30] sharkasdf: Other than nothing showing up in "system details" what symptoms are you having? [01:30] laggy youtube videos and flash videos on nbc [01:30] oh, so you don't have a problem :) [01:30] Not laggy, choppy vidoe [01:30] video [01:31] Whenever there is movement [01:31] also is there any particular reason why the screen goes black for a moment when I launch an app with root priveleges? Suse was doing that too [01:31] What is wrong with the 01.org [01:31] Viper550, do you mean sudo [01:32] Viper550, you dont use sudo to do that, why are you [01:32] I mean [01:32] I'm going crazy on a problem with 14.04. this installation is using uefi, and the box won't boot. I was having an issue installing wine. (it kept complaining about a missing dependency wine1.6-i386), so I ended up running sudo dpkg add-architecture i386. I still couldn't get it installed, so I restarted, and now the box won't boot. [01:32] On applications that ask for a root password to launch (on the kubuntu live CD, this was the partition manager) [01:33] dejavou42: What happens when you try to boot? [01:33] it can't detect uefi [01:33] can someone tell me why flask failed to download - https://bpaste.net/show/04ec4f1b6cfb via travis - https://github.com/jeff1evesque/machine-learning/blob/acfc65f8cc1c68e620703c0b7d2549d9ace26401/.travis.yml [01:33] efi* [01:34] I've since logged into a recovery session with a live cd, and removed the i386 architecture [01:35] dejavou42: Please describe what you see when you try to boot. [01:35] Jordan_U: no bootable device is detected. [01:35] dejavou42: That is the exact message that appears on the screen? [01:35] paraphrasing [01:36] dejavou42: Please pastebin the output of "sudo efibootmgr" from an Ubuntu liveCD/USB. [01:36] but yes, the message is from the bios, not failing at some point in the ubuntu boot [01:37] so is there nothing i can do about these intel drivers? [01:38] i booted my computer and it goes into emergency mode [01:38] how do I fix it ? [01:39] I tried running fsck on it and rebooting but it goes back into emergency mode [01:39] devslash, read teh SMART from your drive(s) [01:40] how [01:40] boot a live cd [01:40] or usb [01:40] ok then [01:40] Jordan_U: I'm going to try to pastebin this, but being as I am in a rescue mode shell, I don't know how well its going to go [01:41] then what do i do [01:41] dejavou42: Are you familiar with the pastebinit command? [01:42] devslash, you can run a command and pastebin, or open the Disks utility [01:42] Jordan_U: not really, but I'm assuming it is something similar to piping the output to that, and it will pastebin it? [01:44] Hi [01:45] Hello [01:45] Jordan_U: ok, that's not going to work either, I can't install pastebinit [01:46] I have a question about my question iso. [01:46] dejavou42, disable Fastboot from within windows, that prevents booting usb [01:46] dejavou42: Please boot from an Ubuntu LiveCD/USB then (and not a server or alternate install image as they are not "live" systems). [01:46] Jordan_U: however I do get a warning when running efibootmgr boot000a is not efi 1.10 compliant (lowecase hex in name) [01:47] Jordan_U: please rebuild using efibootmgr to remove this warning. [01:48] If make my own modified ubuntu version [01:48] How do I put it on a usb [01:49] starwarsmace: usb-creator-gtk [01:50] Ok...

[01:51] Yes, because it was crashing launching normally. [01:51] curiousx [01:51] starwarsmace: [01:52] Does the usb-creator-gtk for to make an sd card? [01:52] skinux, remove the .config/google-chrome/ folder and try again ( this will delete plugins too) [01:52] starwarsmace: idk, but try it -.- [01:52] starwarsmace: Booting from a rasberry pi is completely different than booting from a PC, and thus tools made for PCs, like unetbootin, will not work for making something a pi can boot. [01:52] oh [01:53] Well, I would..but I just installed it, literally. [01:53] compdoc, at least 5 minutes have passed and im still on the ubuntu purple screen [01:53] dejavou42: Please boot from an Ubuntu LiveCD/USB. [01:53] I had to install using alien because software center kept dropping the install and saying only install from sources I trust. [01:54] skinux: You should pretty much never use alien. [01:54] Hmm. [01:54] skinux, huh? the .deb from their site installs an entry in sources, and the key [01:54] skinux: Uninstall anything you have ever installed via alien. [01:54] Well, how do I get software center to install when it only wants to revert to saying it's not trusted [01:55] Jordan_U: I am on a ubuntu live cd [01:55] skinux, if you install that deb, it says indeed something about trust... just press yes [01:55] Can I use pendriveinstaller [01:55] I didn't see "yes" anywhere. [01:55] or whatever.

[01:57] i am the only user on my computer, with root access, but it tells me that a file i need to access is not mine [01:57] dejavou42: "Rescue mode" is something from the server/alternate install images. I want you to have access to the internet and a browser. Use the "Try Ubuntu before installing" option, and if the media you have doesn't have that option then please get media with an Ubuntu Live system. [01:57] tzar1, find their dedicated support channel and ask again [01:57] Topazzz1: root access isn't the same as being root, however [01:58] skinux: sudo dpkg -i /path/to/file.deb; sudo apt-get -f install [01:58] so then how do i change the permission to my own?

[02:08] yes [02:08] because i tried to install it dowload in from the webiste, but now [02:08] Errors were encountered while processing: [02:08] /var/cache/apt/archives/codeblocks-contrib_13.12-3_amd64.deb [02:08] /var/cache/apt/archives/codeblocks-dev_13.12-3_amd64.deb [02:08] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [02:08] lasbr: try tuxguitar [02:08] lasbr did search it on the store?

[02:10] I hade tryed tuxguitar but something is really rong [02:11] wrong* [02:11] Jordan_U: I'm assuming for this to work, I'm going to need to boot the dvd in EFI mode correct? [02:11] hello , OerHeks ubuntu 15.04 (latest download ) from ubuntu website the dual band ac-3160 wifi card works without having to do anything just in case anyone else wanted to know :) [02:11] I´m asking for your opinion: I´m searching a lightweight window-manager, which one would you suggest? (purpose: running kodi/retroarch) [02:11] I can not hear the audio of the tablature [02:12] Topazzz1: http://worldofgnome.org/how-to-theme-gnome-3/ [02:12] Schnabeltierchen: don't think kodi needs a wm [02:12] Schnabeltierchen, what version of ubuntu [02:13] Ooops wrong channel, shame on my head... Sorry, never meant to bother you guys. [02:14] reisio: since kodi get minimized/closed to run retroarch a windowmanger is needed [02:14] thats the problem, i have the prereqs, but the files are owned by root [02:14] it wont let me put anything in them [02:15] bazhang: forgot the fact, the image-distributor changed from ubuntu to debian in last upgade.... so nwm [02:15] Is it normal that my system freezes when under heavy CPU load? [02:15] Running 2 Android Virtual Devices at once has caused it to freeze twice today [02:16] Jordan_U: ok, I'm booting the live cd, both uefi options quickly popped up a message that said "failed to load" the efi files, and it defaulted to the grub menu [02:16] Jordan_U: but it is booting under try ubuntu now anyway [02:16] Schnabeltierchen: you could use a window manager, or you could just run each on a dedicated tty [02:17] Schnabeltierchen: openbox is a nice minimal wm, though [02:17] when i do dpkg --configure -a : Errors were encountered while processing: [02:17] codeblocks-dbg [02:17] codeblocks-contrib [02:17] codeblocks-contrib-dbg [02:17] help [02:17] OerHeks: are you there? [02:18] Umm...how do I uninstall something I installed using alien?? [02:18] I've only installed Chrome using it, but I want it installed correctly. [02:18] Uhh. Doesn't alien just convert packages? [02:18] reisio the method you sent me to is one ive already tried, i cant do it because it says the file is owned by root [02:18] If you converted the package and then installed it with apt-get, you should remove it with apt-get. [02:19] I tried using apt-get, it couldn't locate the package. [02:19] try dpkg [02:19] What's the remove command? [02:19] dpkg -r [02:20] Nope. It says it's not installed [02:20] well try doing it in the folder with your .deb package in it [02:20] Funny, since it can crash and shows up in dash. [02:20] dpkg -r [02:21] dpkg: error: you must specify packages by their own names, not by quoting the names of the files they come in [02:21] try to get the full package name [02:21] Hi guys. Having trouble with the python-central package. Seems I can't apt install it on ubuntu 14.04. Anybody know why? And A workaround? [02:22] skinux: dpkg --list | grep | grep ^ii [02:22] Jordan_U: http://www.pastebin.com/ymzv10m5 [02:23] Jordan_U: evidently its not detecting the efi boot partition at /dev/sda1 [02:23] Thanks [02:23] that work? [02:23] Damn. Still crashes [02:23] if after: sudo dpkg -i *.deb, and applcations is not working, how can i remove it (sudo apt-get purge application not working) [02:23] lol well at least you removed it... you installed a chrome rpm using alien? [02:24] reisio mhm it´s said openbox needs about ~7mb load and is just a fork of blackbox which needs ~3mb load... any experiences? [02:24] ERROR:gl_implementation_osmesa.cc(22)] Failed to load libGL.so.1: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Aborted (core dumped) [02:24] Why wouldn't you just use the normal ubuntu chrome package? [02:24] I did, but I thought you have to install it from Chrome's site [02:25] ah. the error sounds like your graphics driver isn't set up correctly. [02:25] Schnabeltierchen: if you're worried about load, dump kodi and use mplayer [02:25] Hmm. I just installed this system maybe an hour ago [02:25] Do other 3D applications work? [02:25] can anyone else one here help me with theming gnome? im using lightning linux. [02:25] I don't know. I've only tried Firefox, HexChat, and Chrome [02:26] topazzl what is your problem? [02:26] reisio it´s my htpc (some kind of raspberry-pi), kodi is needed for ui and stuff :P [02:26] skinux: if you install the virtualgl package, you can test your 3D subsystem with glxspheres64 [02:26] Schnabeltierchen: nah, you only need omxplayer [02:26] the only method anyone here has tried to send me to is one ive already tried, but i cant do it because i dont have ownership of the file location [02:26] topazzl: download gnome icon theme and: mv /usr/share/icons [02:27] skinux: it doesn't get installed in your path, so you have to run it like /opt/VirtualGL/bin/glxspheres64 [02:27] and the apt-get update Topazzzl [02:27] xela2244 im already using the gnome default theme, im trying to use a custom one from gnome-look [02:28] I got it I think. I reinstalled from Ubuntu repo and it seems to be working [02:28] reisio nah, i need kodi for the ui and accessing my movie library which is shared among several devices, my games (via rom collection browser) [02:28] :p [02:28] skinux: nice [02:28] it´s my "smart-tv" [02:28] uhuh === sixun8 is now known as hadbeld_hh [02:28] sorry we're just having this discussion in another channel [02:29] Topazzzl i'm using kde so i don't know [02:29] an ordinary desktop-type x86 SBC costs only about $40 more than an rpi now [02:29] turned an broken tv and an odroid u3 into an multimedia-retrogrames-player [02:29] at which point you wouldn't need to be concerned about blackbox vs openbox [02:29] Hi. Ubuntu seems to have a hard time finding the python-central package using apt install. Any workaround? [02:30] Jordan_U: Are you still here? [02:30] hadbeld_hh: are you getting an error message when you try to install python-central? [02:30] hadbeld_hh: are you running the command 'sudo apt-get install python-central' ? [02:30] Thanks for the help [02:30] skinux: you're welcome :) [02:31] yup. E: Package 'python-central' has no installation candidate [02:31] thedanyes, yes. [02:31] I'm actually so pissed at my self right now. I was trying to reinstall Ubuntu to solve other issues, accidentally over-wrote my whole hard drive. [02:31] thedanyes, let me correct myself. No. sudo apt install python-central [02:31] reisio: the boad is tinyier than a box of cigarettes, i remodeled the tv-frame to fit the box inside. i couldn´t have done it with an ordinary pc [02:33] you could've done it with just a chromecast [02:33] a chromecast just works while having access to the internet [02:33] help, Errors were encountered while processing: [02:33] /var/cache/apt/archives/codeblocks-contrib_13.12-3_amd64.deb [02:33] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [02:33] thats a huge malus [02:34] it's just an example [02:34] hadbeld_hh: well my system seems to indicate there is an install candidate for python-central. [02:34] you can transmit video & audio over a network connection [02:34] or over a cable [02:34] the computer size is irrelevant [02:34] but for the record, x86 SBCs, being SBCs, are also small [02:35] hadbeld_hh: I'm not sure why yours isn't. I'm running 14.04. Maybe it's not in the repos for your version? [02:35] dejavou42: Ok, you no longer have any UEFI boot entries for any OS. Properly running grub-install should fix this though. Those warnings shouldn't cause problems for you as those entries were created by your boot firmware (so it should have no complaints about using them) [02:35] skinux: ouch that sucks [02:36] !bootinfo | dejavou42 [02:36] dejavou42: Boot info script is a useful script for diagnosing boot problems. Please run the script following the directions here: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ and then !pastebin the RESULTS.txt for us to use to help diagnose your problem. [02:37] Jordan_U_Phone: I tried running grub-install /dev/sda2 I get "installing grub for i386 platform" (odd because I'm on an x64 platform with an x64 installation and x64 live cd) then " unable to determine the canonical location for /cow [02:37] " [02:37] I'm thinking that must be a joke [02:40] dejavou42: That's entirely expected when trying to run grub-install from a liveCD (and why I mentioned "properly" in my response). I will walk you through properly running grub-install.

[04:29] yeah but I figured it wouldn't be +x [04:29] I can't eve get it installed, but I love the look. [04:29] since it doesn't support it [04:29] well why is it a problem if they have +x [04:29] it's superfluous [04:29] Please, give me direct link ( debs for offline install) for "trusty+python2.6.x" from this PPA https://launchpad.net/~fkrull/+archive/ubuntu/deadsnakes [04:31] Hello [04:32] I have some questions about making my own ubuntu os by modifying ubuntu [04:33] So if I want to change what happen on a yes/no dialoge in ubuntu how would I do this? [04:33] happens* [04:33] Would I have to make my own os? [04:33] By modifying ubuntu [04:33] Or is there a way I can change it through an app [04:33] that I make* [04:34] any suggestions? === sins-_v is now known as sins- [04:35] nobody on? XD [04:35] why would you want to do that? [04:35] I need to do something with it [04:36] Like when a yes/no dialogue pops up [04:36] but why do you have to modify the entire OS behavior [04:36] I need to do something when someone presses yes or no [04:36] for every instance of yes/no ? [04:36] yes [04:36] Is there an easier way? [04:37] I mean... you could check out the gnome source [04:37] or whatever desktop environment you're using [04:37] hm? [04:37] or maybe you could just modify X11 [04:37] If I check out the source? [04:37] what would I look for? [04:37] <[n0mad]> you clicked yes, are you sure? yes. but are you really really sure? yes. ... [04:37] I would look up X11 configurations first [04:38] there might be something you can do there... possibly.. maybe. I'm not sure [04:38] starwarsmace: it sounds like you don't really have a clue. is this something you need to do really, or just some vague idea you have of doing something === sins-_v is now known as sins- [04:38] For every instance of yes/no I want to make it have a 50% chance of doing yes and a 50% change of doing no [04:39] shh [04:39] oh ok. for goofs and gaffs [04:39] Kindve [04:39] So [04:39] Would I have to modify it? [04:39] The os === mkv is now known as m4v [04:40] or is there something easier [04:41] hmm [04:42] Is there a way I can make a program that hooks into the os and theres an yes/no dialogue event or something [04:42] or is there no such thing as that [04:43] starwarsmace: there could be an X11 configuration for it [04:43] you should google. I'm not sure but it's a possibility [04:50] i've been 3 days trying to get blender (http://blender.org) to work on lubuntu 14.04.3 to no avail. several people at #blender have tried to help, but no-one seems to be able to diagnose or help me resolve the issues. blender tries to launch and then crashes. don't know if this page is significant https://developer.blender.org/T43529 [04:50] heyhey [04:51] mikubuntu: are there any logs? [04:51] i may be able to help [04:51] you might try enable logging from command line [04:51] first up we need to find out why blender is crashing, to do this, i want you to run blender from the command line [04:51] then when it crashes it may tell you whay or h [04:52] what it may be mission [04:52] i just did a reinstall, so i guess there's not too much of a trail -- but i'm game if you can direct me :P [04:52] it might have a verbose mode as well [04:52] in command switch [04:52] I would recommend enabling that [04:52] mikubuntu: firstly, did you install it from the repo or from somewhere else? [04:52] good call bloop [04:53] fabzor3-: somsip bloop this is direct download from blender.org [04:53] mikubuntu: start up a terminal and run it from there [04:53] blender --help [04:53] see if there are any debug message switches [04:53] try installing from synaptic or apt-get [04:53] mikubuntu: and the bug you linked has version 2.73a. Does that refer to an alpha release? [04:54] somsip: yes [04:54] blender uses a to denote alpha for versioning [04:54] bloop: using non-official releases of alpha software is not supported here.

[04:55] yeah lol stop using alphas [04:55] 'a' is alpha and 'r' is release candidate and 'b' is beta [04:55] anything post 2.5 is fine [04:56] mikubuntu: but you should look in the logs [04:56] hmmm -- what i downloaded didn't indicate that it was alpha can you help me identify the right file from http://blender.org [04:56] 2.5 was the big one, that included a new viewport renderer and a bunch of other wild changes [04:56] Does any one know how to install slingshot-launcher in ubuntu 14.04? I can't get it installed and it is the best looking launcher I have seen. [04:56] mikubuntu: I would recommend using the one in your distro package manager [04:56] mikubuntu: first option is always to install official packages from the repo. [04:57] bloop i have a term open, just need instructions from you about how to setup logging if you say i need that [04:57] blender --help [04:57] sudo apt-get install blender gimp kdenlive handbrake [04:57] can you find a verbose mode for debug messages [04:57] thats all you need mate [04:57] somsip: the version in software center was quite a bit older, and the #blender people said to use the direct download. [04:58] and possibly inkscape [04:58] mikubuntu: did you run 'blender --help' ? [04:58] mikubuntu: 2.72 does not seem 'quite a bit older' that 2.73. Though what version of ubuntu are you running? [04:58] s/that/than [04:59] 'blender --verbose' [04:59] I just checked and it does so run that [04:59] you can have both [04:59] but install the stock bversion first to make ks [04:59] lubuntu 14.04.3 -- the version in software center was 2.67 i think [04:59] sure that you have python and junk [04:59] oh you have to specify the verbosity level too [04:59] !info blender trusty | mikubuntu (it's this) [04:59] mikubuntu (it's this): blender (source: blender): Very fast and versatile 3D modeller/renderer.

[05:00] wow, i got a lot of operations lined up -- which first :P ?? lol [05:01] mikubuntu: remove whatever it was you installed from blender.org [05:01] hey mik [05:01] my computer is linux, but my brain is win 95 :P [05:01] sudo apt-get install blender [05:01] ok, deleting blender [05:01] gimme sec [05:01] do it [05:01] i gotta get on the bus ill be back later [05:03] somsip blender deleted [05:03] mikubuntu: if you still care about diagnosing the issue then you can PM me [05:03] mikubuntu: then install blender from the repos [05:04] somsip are you talking about installing the version in software center? [05:04] mikubuntu: yes [05:04] bloop are you suggesting a different approach? [05:07] most likely its just sitting in your home folder somewhere right?

Installation boot params that worked fine on 14.04.1 are failing on 14.04.3 (exits to interactive installation) [05:08] Hi all [05:08] This is an AMD server installation (both for .1 and .3), installing into vmWare ESXi VM [05:08] howdy [05:09] I am trying to install apache 2 [05:09] somsip: on blender.org they say 'Download Blender 2.75a Blender 2.75a is the latest stable release from the Blender Foundation.' [05:09] okay rehju [05:09] but i am getting some dependency problem . [05:09] mikubuntu: releases that are not in the official repo are not supported here [05:10] oic ... lol. ok. [05:10] apache2 : Depends: apache2-bin (= 2.4.7-1ubuntu4) but 2.4.7-1ubuntu4.5 is to be installed [05:10] fabzor3-, ^ this what i am getting [05:10] Depends: apache2-data (= 2.4.7-1ubuntu4) but 2.4.7-1ubuntu4.5 is to be installed [05:11] and this one [05:11] try using apt get to repair packages [05:11] I tried apt-get -f install [05:11] with the fix missing switch [05:11] mikubuntu: I think the better idea is to stick with the package maintained by the distro [05:11] but it do nothing [05:11] apt-get install --fix-missing [05:11] shiiii [05:12] yeah that one [05:12] mikubuntu: but I wouldn't bank on them fixing your issue if you decide to use a later version [05:12] No Success. [05:12] then perhaps even [05:12] Rahju: solution here http://thelinuxfaq.com/195-how-to-solved-unmet-dependencies-problem-in-ubuntu-apt-get [05:12] bloop, so you mean the one i'm downloading from the software center right? [05:12] because they won't know what your issue is [05:12] apt-get dist-upgrade [05:12] yes. but I would think the blender devs would be interested in your crash and system specs [05:12] it will upgrade my Distributiuon [05:13] So no one knows of a way? [05:13] somsip, i tried this link. [05:13] yeah [05:13] XYZAFFA1R: your question is off-screen. Can you repeat? [05:13] fabzor3-, but then some other problem may arise. [05:13] with new version [05:14] fabzor3-, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [05:14] # sudo apt-get clean [05:14] this is saying when i did dist-upgrade [05:14] somsip bloop fabzor3- blender installed and launched without crashing :P [05:14] so youre at newest, okay [05:14] mikubuntu: that's why we recommend official repo packages [05:14] ohoh, try selecting a different mirror [05:14] mikubuntu: i still think your should make a log of your crash and let the blender people know about it [05:15] you should, rather [05:15] fabzor3-: not newest -- 2.69 [05:15] mikubuntu: are you planning on using Cycles? [05:15] or the internal renderer [05:15] bloop i guess it's too late to log if i deleted the blender.org instance? [05:16] bloop don't know from cycles? [05:16] mikubuntu: you can get a tarball of the alpha and run it frm there === sins-_v is now known as sins- [05:16] to make a log [05:16] yesterday i did some thing wrong .. by mistake /var/lib was deleted. [05:16] mikubuntu: cycles is the new renderer for blender. it's constantly updated now [05:16] but then from another same system i copied it and then update and upgraded [05:16] Rahju, youre the worst [05:16] that might be why they recommended the newest version [05:17] no no this might break your permissions [05:17] bloop that sounds like a major component [05:17] somsip, Is there a way to get slingshot-launcher installed on ubuntu 14.04? I mean the older one that was full screen and really nice looking. [05:17] dont do things like that [05:17] mikubuntu: 2.69 is probably missing some cycles features [05:17] fabzor3-, Is there any other way to recover? [05:17] hmmmm [05:17] somsip: I had it in Debian at one point and it is my favorite launcher I have ever used, and have never seen another like it. [05:18] if you're planning on using blender internal renderer then I doubt you're lacking any interesting feature [05:18] what live sin opt var [05:18] XYZAFFA1R: oh I remember now. No idea. So wait and see if someone else can help [05:18] mostly logs [05:18] yes [05:18] bloop so i am complete newb to blender, was why i wanted to use latest version too [05:18] well going back to the feedback [05:18] missiong what package [05:18] somsip: Is someone a person or do you mean some one in general? It is blue like a link but I can't click it. [05:18] fabzor3-, with apache2? [05:19] I don't like this IRC client. [05:19] XYZAFFA1R: I'll say once more, I have no idea [05:19] mikubuntu, trust me the other vesns fine [05:19] yeah with apache2 [05:19] bloop are you saying to re-download the tarbz2 that was crashing and extract to desktop again, for logging? [05:19] i will paste the log in bpaste [05:19] wh [05:19] y [05:19] thanks [05:20] mikubuntu: yes [05:20] https://bpaste.net/show/12e99b57fcd5 [05:20] fabzor3-: yes i guess i need to stick with 2.69 if its stable [05:20] fabzor3-, [05:20] bloop so it won't interfere with my repo'd version [05:20] apache2-bin and apache2-data [05:20] bloop so it won't interfere with my repo'd version? [05:20] mikubuntu: the most it will do is use some of the configurations from your old version [05:20] but that shouldn't be a big deal [05:21] not enough to elicit a crash of its own anyway === madmangunradio is now known as madmangunr [05:21] fabzor3-, but apache2-bin and apache2-data are already installed [05:22] mikubuntu: once you do if you run it from terminal in blender --help you'll see various flags to set for debug messages [05:22] it should help bring light to whatever issue it is you're having [05:23] fabzor3-, do i purge these 2 packages and reinstall? [05:23] if it's not something easily fixed then I would recommend making a bug report [05:23] Rahju, http://askubuntu.com/questions/611354/error-installing-apache2 [05:23] bloop you'll help me go through the process? [05:23] mikubuntu: yes. it shouldn't be difficult. [05:23] fabzor3-, there is no valid answer [05:23] mikubuntu: can that be done in pm please as this is OT here [05:24] ok, downloading -- bloop can you set private channel i don't know how [05:24] we can go to #blender [05:24] cheers [05:24] ooooooooh, i like that [05:25] somsip thanks so much for your help and fabzor3- [05:25] mikubuntu: np - hope you get it sorted how you want it to work [05:25] :P [05:26] i am seeking a live cd image i can use in case my computer does not boot. the websute suggests the regular install image will do this. i figured i'd download http://releases.ubuntu.com/vivid/, but it's 1.1GB. that's too large for a cd. is there a version that will fit on a cd? [05:27] ryouma: live cds are now live dvds. [05:27] fabzor3-, apt-get purge apache2* and then update then apt-get install apache2 it worked [05:27] somsip: i don't have any dvds. am i out of luck for a cd? [05:27] but /usr/sbin/apache2: error while loading shared libraries: libaprutil-1.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [05:27] somsip: is there anything similar to the debian netinst except live? [05:27] ryouma: yes - they change to >700MB a couple of versions ago [05:28] ryouma: I don't know what that is. There is... [05:28] !minimal | ryouma [05:28] ryouma: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [05:28] ryouma: but that's install only, not a live cd === Chen is now known as Guest17191 [05:28] somsip: would it make sense to go back a couple of versions? [05:29] ryouma: older versions may suit your needs [05:29] (or are those insecure?) [05:30] ryouma: old versions are not up to date. If you want something for recovery it may suit your needs [05:33] thanks. trying to find the page where they are listed. [05:34] mikubuntu got it open without crashing in case anyone was wondering [05:34] probably garbled configurations or something [05:34] or a bad .deb maybe [05:35] ryouma: 12.04 http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ [05:39] thanks. that saved me a lot of searching. [05:39] will the server version also have a live? or must i use the desktop one? [05:40] ryouma: "The desktop cd allows you to try Ubuntu without changing your computer at all"..."The server install cd allows you to install Ubuntu permanently on a computer" [05:40] got it [05:45] how to resolve all these dependencies for installing apache2 [05:46] libaprutil-1.so.0 [05:46] it need a huge mess to be install [05:46] is there any way to do this ?? [05:46] i can't start apache2 [05:46] due to this? [05:49] hello, i have a problem running dota 2 reborn in ubuntu [05:49] someone help me === sins-_v is now known as sins- [05:50] xer0, tell your problem [05:50] So that any one can answer [05:51] CheckGLExtensions(); required opengl extension "GL_ARB_separate_shader_objects" is not supported. Please update your OpenGL driver [05:51] error is shown while i try to run dota 2 reborn [05:51] Which graphics card/driver you are using? [05:51] it is amd radeon [05:52] Ok .. are you using latest driver [05:52] ? [05:53] i think so [05:54] my os is ubuntu 14.04 x64 [05:55] xer0: are you using the proprietary or OSS driver? [05:55] can you provide asic info [05:55] how do i check that [05:55] xer0: Go into the additional drivers thing [05:56] glxinfo | grep 'OpenGL \w\+ string:' [05:56] can you provide output of it [05:57] using x.org x server - AMD/ATI display driver wrapper from xserver-xorg-video-ati (open source, tested) [05:57] xer0, cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i chipset and of this ?

[05:58] I am trying to compile the upstream emacs from source. I do apt-get build-dep emacs24-nox (I want only the terminal version of emacs), but instead I get dependencies for emac24, which includes X11. [05:59] xer0: Yes [05:59] Is there a way to select a subset of build-deps that are specific to another version of the binary? [05:59] can anyone help me get bluetooth working on ubuntu? [05:59] xer0, are you getting problem with another games also? [06:00] it is the only game i play. [06:00] i used to play dota 2, with no errors, [06:00] so is Dota 2 running fine? [06:00] since the latest reborn update of dota 2, i've been getting the errors [06:00] Reborn uses the new source engine, which in turn requires opengl extensions not found in the radeon driver [06:01] yes, dota 2 was running fine [06:01] hateball, so what should i do? will using the proprietary driver solve the problem? [06:01] xer0, it seems you are using OSS driver? [06:01] Yes it will sove. [06:01] hizz, what problem you are getting ? [06:02] is it different from proprietary? [06:02] xer0: tick the fglrx, that is proprietary [06:02] Rahju, it doesn't seem to recognize and activate the bluetooth dongle [06:02] I have the bluetooth dongle showing up in the lsusb [06:02] But that's about it [06:02] yes i'm applying the change now [06:02] I think it's bcause there is both bluez and gnome-bluetooth installed, but I don't know how to install one without installing seemingly the whole system.. [06:03] xer0: and hopefully the driver in 14.04 is new enough to support this, otherwise you might have to add a PPA to get an updated driver [06:03] Every time I try to just uninstall those programs, it tries to remove all of gnome or all of a ton of stuff. [06:03] hateball, ok, i'll try that if it doesn't work [06:03] Do you have bluez-utils? [06:03] hizz, ^ [06:04] hizz, try, hcitool scan [06:04] I did [06:04] device not available [06:04] Okk [06:05] hizz, hciconfig -a [06:05] what it shows? [06:05] says devicenot available [06:05] that's it [06:05] how do I use pastebin command to get output to pastebin [06:06] open a bpaste on browser [06:06] and paste it there? [06:06] no there is a cli command "pastebin" [06:06] which does it automatically [06:06] There is but i don't remember how to use it [06:07] !pastebinit [06:07] pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [06:07] ok one sec [06:08] hey yall. i have an mdadm array and im trying to grow it paste the 16tb limit. everything im finding on google is ~4 yrs old... is there really (still) no way to convert my ext4 fs from 32bit to 64bit ? do i have any other options ? really trying to avoid figuring out where to put ~11tb, so i can reformat and put it back [06:08] whatev.. it's just saying "Device is not available: No such device [06:08] " [06:11] hizz, you can go for #bluez [06:16] what happened to package ubuntu-restricted-extras ? trying to install it on fresh system but sudo apt-get install ubuntu-**** is not showing the same [06:18] what happened to package ubuntu-restricted-extras ? trying to install it on fresh system (vivid) but sudo apt-get install ubuntu-**** is not showing the same [06:21] what happened to package ubuntu-restricted-extras ? trying to install it on fresh system (vivid) but sudo apt-get install ubuntu-**** is not showing the same === keroberos is now known as kerozene === sins-_v is now known as sins- [06:24] what happened to package ubuntu-restricted-extras ? trying to install it on fresh system (vivid) but sudo apt-get install ubuntu-**** is not showing the same [06:30] Hey, I currently have arch installed. Can I install Ubuntua nd keep my /home partiton and have everthing still work? [06:31] organicanarchy: of course, but you might have to delete a few config files to avoid strange behaviours [06:32] I actually migrated from arch to ubuntu like that [06:33] Mattias, so I can just grab an ubuntu/mint/debian ISO and install it and just keep my current /home and itll work? [06:33] organicanarchy: Depends, I have my /home on a full hdd and the system on another ssd [06:33] Was easy that way [06:34] Mattias, I have a seperate /home partiton ont the same drive [06:34] hi guys? [06:35] what is the best tool to partition a with the boot partition? [06:35] gparted? although your question doesn't make sense [06:36] sorry for the typo [06:36] thanks alot will try that. [06:36] organicanarchy: That might be a little bit more complicated. You do want to fully clean out the other partitions to install the system on. But not touch the home partition. For a worry-free experience I'd recommend getting a drive exclusively for /home, then copy everything over there. If you want to keep this drive you'll have to be very careful. But I assume you just don't need to format it and it should go [06:36] fine, might require the use of the manual partitioning in the installation [06:37] tangri [06:37] hi [06:37] loading it a live cd does the trick or you can do it after tHE MACHINE HAS BOOTED? [06:38] wut [06:38] sam1_: live cd should work if it has gparted installed [06:38] sam1_: you can't modify partitions that are mounted, so if thats what you want you should use a cd/usb [06:38] mattias Im just concerned my programs wont still be installled [06:38] organicanarchy: yes, you can choose manual partitioning in the installer [06:38] organicanarchy: programs aren't installed into /home [06:39] Thanks guys. [06:39] organicanarchy: programs are not in /home unless you specifically installed them there yourself, will have to reinstall most likely, but the config files should be there in /home, might require new config files if the program is of a different version in the ubuntu repo [06:39] organicanarchy: perhaps there is some aur-to-apt conversion script somewhere, so you could export what you have now, and then feed into apt/dpkg once you've migrated [06:41] word, alright, thanks Mattias and hateball [06:43] organicanarchy: If things doesn't start up as you expect it to, config files might be the reason. disable them and see if the issues fixes themselves. Migration between systems can be a pain but doable :) [06:43] my shit isnt that important, I might just backup a few things and just reinstall [06:46] hi [06:49] Hi micw. === sins-_v is now known as sins- === peterrus- is now known as peterrus [06:56] Does anyone know of a tool to strip terminal control codes from a screenlog file, in the way 'less -r' will do to console?

Don't know what it is....how do I remove it? [14:10] carib remove what? [14:11] last thing, why should I use a client for irc (as suggested by most users) against webchat ? question is not as a preference but on advantages. Like I said before, its very handy as browser is kinda always open and a tab is far less memory than a full client plus asking, answering, chating & opening links, searching & doing other things side by side is very easy, fast and productive. furthermore with httpS its secure also [14:11] This what was said: carib: that's completely unrelated, it's saying there's an issue with BIND9 - so if you use that, fix it - or if not, remove it [14:12] Encountering problems with unattended installation of 14.04.3 amd server that do not occurr with 14.04.1 - the same boot parameters fall back to interactive installation [14:12] carib: "dpkg -l | grep bind" will show you what BIND packages you have installed [14:13] daftykins, I don't know what BIND9 is. I don't know if I need it. How do I remove it? [14:13] Does anyone know any poker sites that works on ubuntu? I cant seem to find one [14:13] I'm installing to a VM - seeing this in multiple environments - VMWare Esxi and Virtualbox [14:13] carib: one step at a time, run the above to see what packages. BIND9 is a DNS server, for managing your own DNS - likely you don't need it if you don't know [14:14] magnolia one reason could be, that with irssi+screen you can be "always online", especially if you run it on a remote server [14:14] magnolia: do as you will, i wouldn't dream of running webchat personally. Also, your resource claims are hilarious. [14:15] datykins this is what is installed http://paste.ubuntu.com/12339112/ [14:15] magnolia with irssi+screen on a local pc, you can close the windows and even logout, without stopping the irc session [14:15] daftykins: why not personally ? whats wrong with webchat ? why they are hillarious ? spoke what I felt right [14:16] magnolia use what suits you [14:16] MonkeyDust: there may be many features but I asked as a basic irc chat and security [14:16] lrs_: sudo apt-get install icedtea-plugin [14:16] magnolia: not really any point discussing things that are opinion based, access IRC however you want. === curiousx is now known as Chuck_Norris [14:17] daftykins please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/12339112/ [14:17] daftykins: thats what I asked -- not an opinion but on advantages so as discover something which I dont know [14:17] magnolia: well what better way than to try first hand? [14:17] magnolia what are you struggling with? [14:17] curiousx: Its so weird. It crashes when the progrma is loaded. And i cant do anything [14:18] MonkeyDust: hows that possible ? logging out means stopping all current user processes [14:18] carib: sudo apt-get purge bind9 bind9-doc bind9-host [14:18] magnolia not with screen in a terminal [14:18] lrs_: do you have icedtea-plugin installed ? [14:18] hmm, I've irssi installed [14:18] Chuck_Norris, Yeah [14:18] Thanks daftykins. You guys are awesome. [14:18] lrs_: no matters the browser you use ? [14:19] magnolia great! also install screen, then run screen in a terminal, followed bij irssi [14:19] by [14:20] lrs_: maybe you got some plugins in some browser that makes it crash, try other browsers [14:20] Chuck_Norris, Firefox 40.0.3 [14:20] It seems it cant find java now. In firefox. Hmm. [14:20] magnolia, my irc client(Konversation) has a much lower cpu load than my browser (firefox) [14:21] Chuck_Norris, I have to use firefox. The site uses NPAPI [14:21] MonkeyDust: but what could be the use of running irc after logging out apart from the fact that its own personal channel ? and any more great things like this one ? === Drunkarcher is now known as Drunkwizard [14:21] Hi [14:22] lrs_: if you to: about:addons > Plugins is it there icead-tea in there ?

[14:23] BluesKaj: yes, now I see that firefox consumes a lot of memory around 1-2gb or even more (vivid with default firefox). Is anything wrong with firefox now ? [14:23] lrs_: paste: aptitude search icedtea-plugin [14:23] i icedtea-plugin - web browser plugin to execute Java applets [14:23] MonkeyDust: true [14:24] lrs_: yeah that's not going to work, plenty of guides online for how to install a working firefox java plugin [14:24] Oh shit. I looked at addons [14:24] Wait. It says its disabled. [14:24] lrs_: enable it dude :D [14:24] whaddup people. new to ubuntu here. i have found that after restarting or waking my laptop from sleep, i need to forget my wifi network or at least re-enter the password before it will connect again. anybody know what might cause this? [14:25] Chuck_Norris, Hmm. I enable it. And it still freezes. [14:25] Is this command incorrect for creating a bootable USB from Windows ISO: sudo dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/handle-of-usb? It put the ISO on the USB (extracted it seems), unfortunately, I only get an error that disappears so fast I can't read it. [14:25] skinux: yeah [14:26] skinux: is it for uefi? [14:26] EUFI, but I used Legacy option for USB boot. [14:26] MonkeyDust: what I understand is that if I wanna ask few questions or chat once a week then webchat is good otherwise if its on regular basis then I should go for a client daftykins [14:26] so do you intend to install in uefi mode? skinux === Guest88419 is now known as DellBoy [14:27] Well, I want UEFI boot menu (F12) to exist after installing, but other than that I don't think I much care. [14:27] skinux: do you have another os? which win is it? [14:27] DellBoy8822 [14:27] skinux: you can't use that with Windows ISOs [14:27] I'm trying to re-install Windows 8, since I accidentally wiped my whole drive installing Linux. [14:27] skinux: here's the deal, if you have another os in uefi mode they should both be in uefi mode or you'd have to switch from the bios every time [14:28] JVMLauncher.afterStart(): starting JVM process watcher [14:28] daftykins, one final question, I did a sudo apt-get autoremove as suggest in the terminal and got a notice that I may need to rerun bootloader. How do I do that? http://paste.ubuntu.com/12339307/ [14:28] Thats the last problem I get from the terminal [14:28] skinux: ok, so you'll then reinstall ubuntu? [14:28] carib: no need, it'll be fine. [14:29] thanks much daftykins. I sure wish I could be come as competent as you. [14:29] Well, this laptop came with Win8 installed. I believe last time I turned Safe Boot off to install Ubuntu on it's partition and then turned it back on. After that, I could either use UEFI boot menu or select either Linux or Windows in GRUB menu. [14:29] lrs_: idk what else to writher, maybe tryin' other browser that support NPAPI idk maybe "epiphany-browser" aka "web" in ubuntu-gnome ? [14:29] write* [14:30] Yeah, i tried epiphany too but it doesnt find java [14:30] Yes, I'll have to re-install Ubuntu again after Windows gets installed. I've been using Ubuntu while trying to get a bootable media for Win8 since I wiped my drive. [14:30] skinux: ok, so ubuntu is installed in uefi mode right now [14:30] why would you want it to find java [14:30] skinux: ok, make a fat32 partition on the usb, mount the iso and copy it's contents their [14:30] *there [14:31] EriC^^: Ubuntu is installed now, if I press F12 at boot I get UEFI boot options, otherwise it automatically gives GRUB menu. [14:31] test [14:31] yay [14:31] skinux: ok, you might not have to reinstall it [14:31] !test | JamieOnUbuntu [14:31] JamieOnUbuntu: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use /join #test ) [14:32] skinux: follow the above instructions to make a win8 bootable usb and install it [14:32] skinux: backup any data first [14:32] EriC^^: The contents of the ISO are already on the USB, but obviously doing it by dd didn't work right. Or, maybe I just need to turn something UEFI related off for the install. [14:32] skinux: the latest up to date win8 ISO can be obtained directly from Microsoft if you enter your key :) [14:33] Chuck_Norris, Tried opera too, but it didnt support java [14:33] skinux: no, win8 iso's won't work like that, you have to manually create a fat32 partition and copy the iso there, it has an EFI dir that your bios will use to boot [14:33] From what I found, MS provides a tool for creating a bootable media, but you have to have Windows to use it. [14:33] skinux, true [14:33] it's time for 10 anyway :D === coy is now known as Guest46026 [14:34] I'm not sure about that yet. 10 has a bunch of built-in spyware-like stuff, not sure if I want it. [14:34] yeah you've been suckered into all the paranoid articles i see [14:34] ah well :) [14:35] it may interest to know those same features have been backported into 8 :) [14:35] I've done just a little reading. [14:35] That figures [14:35] Besides, I don't have a key for 10 and I can't use an upgrade I have to completely install. [14:36] ok install win8 then upgrade i guess [14:36] then you can do a fresh install [14:36] I assume 10 only comes free if you're using an upgrade type installer. [14:37] if you have win8 installed you download an iso which you can use to upgrade or fresh install ( you have to upgrade first though to get it activated ) [14:37] Anyway, I guess the way I screwed up this USB is not formatting it to FAT or NTFS first? [14:37] yeah, make a fat32 [14:37] hi [14:38] does any BT 4.0 stick just work with Linux? [14:38] then copy the iso there, don't use dd [14:38] It has to be fat32 and not NTFS? [14:38] yes, fat32 for uefi [14:38] How do I format it to FAT32? [14:38] create a partition, then type sudo mkfs.fat /dev/sdxY [14:39] Right now it's seen as a UDF and context menu doesn't have format option [14:39] skinux: no to 10, you download the ISO free and upgrade from 8 - you don't need a key during install at all [14:39] so wipe the drive with gparted [14:40] Why create a partition? It will take the full size of USB to hold Windows installer [14:40] right and you need a partition to put data on [14:40] whether a drive is fully used or not, it has a partition [14:41] I don't understand...I'm not trying to dual-boot the USB [14:41] sigh. [14:41] the drive is going to have _one_ partition on, formatted as FAT32... then the win8 ISO contents will be extracted to it [14:42] it will then be EFI boot capable [14:42] Okay. [14:42] So I have to create a partition on the USB first, how exactly do I do that? [14:42] your mom will be EFI capable [14:42] Oh, wait, you said use GParted [14:43] freezer: no childish comments here please else you will be shown the door.

If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. === Guest12266 is now known as TheRealSol [14:45] Okay, I see the USB has a UDF volume which is listed as "boot", and then it has 8.01MB of unallocated space. [14:45] just wipe the drive [14:46] GParted doesn't give me an option to delete anything [14:46] So, do you mean just wipe everything using a file browser? [14:46] skinux: type sudo parted -l | pastebinit [14:46] no the drive [14:47] skinux: you've been coming in here far too long to be tripping up with tasks at this level :P [14:48] lrs_: Midori :p that web browser is supported by Elementary comunity, maybe that one could work -.- [14:49] Hi?

[14:50] Here is the parted info for the USB http://pastebin.com/CiGhk64N [14:51] lrs_: lel, just curious, what browser are you running under wine, firefox ? [14:51] skinux: as EriC^^ said earlier: sudo mkfs.fat /dev/sdb1 [14:51] Chuck_Norris, Good question. I think its internet explorer. But i donwloaded the poker client, so i run it from there [14:52] * Chuck_Norris thought suggestin' installin' IE under wine but change its mine :P [14:52] I think its default actually, but im not sure [14:53] whynot just run windows in vm [14:53] Well, I should. But hten i have to download iso and stuff [14:53] Okay, I did that, so now I just need to copy and paste the ISO? [14:53] hi guys [14:53] i have a problem with ubuntu live cd [14:53] !ask | milamber [14:53] milamber: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [14:53] the ubuntu live cd doesnt see SSD hdd on my lap top [14:54] skinux: no, and at no point in the history of man has an ISO sat on a flash drive ever done anything other than make it portable. extract it like the archive it is, putting the contents onto the drive [14:54] can anyone help pls [14:54] lrs_: the thing is it's workin' now, if it's workin' don't touch it -.- [14:55] Milen: open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo parted -l | pastebinit" then paste the link here [14:56] Weird. The ISO is almost 4G, but Archive Mounter says the directory within is empty. [14:56] Archive Manager or whatever I mean...not mounter [14:56] skinux a 4G iso? [14:56] daftykins, can i paste in pastie.org ? [14:56] Milen: http://paste.ubuntu.com [14:56] Milen: the commands i gave you will do it automatically though, no need [14:57] skinux: i think cat /path/to/iso > /dev/sdb1 works [14:57] not sure, maybe someone can confirm [14:58] * daftykins looks [14:58] daftykins, : http://paste.ubuntu.com/12339842/ [14:58] Oh geez! I just noticed, the ISO I got it for Pro...I didn't have Pro [14:58] EriC^^: i know: cat /dev/sr0 > some.iso works, now, that way idk, so old school tho :D [14:58] Milen: i see a 128GB SSD and a 1TB mechanical just fine? [14:58] hey, any reason why my trackpad isn't working in kubuntu 15.04? [14:59] yes but i cannot ount 128 gb sdd [14:59] skinux: or try to mount the iso, right click and mount it and then cp the files over [14:59] Chuck_Norris: yeah i usually just mount the iso and copy stuff over [14:59] Milen: what is your main task? what are you trying to do with your Windows install from Ubuntu? [14:59] EriC^^:I have to get the right ISO first. This one is for Pro which I didn't have. [14:59] Milen: sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb2 /mnt [15:00] skinux "Pro" what exactly? [15:00] MonkeyDust: vanilla versus Pro editions of Windows [15:00] bit obvious :P [15:00] ah windows [15:03] daftykins, NTFS signature is missing. [15:03] The device '/dev/sdb' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. [15:03] Milen: so what's the backstory here, what happened and what are you hoping to do? [15:03] you did type /dev/sdb2 right? [15:04] sdb [15:04] type it as i did [15:04] sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb2 /mnt [15:04] tfs-3g: Failed to access volume '/dev/sdb2': No such file or directory [15:04] what are you typing? [15:04] copy from you === gameaccount is now known as Burkeburke [15:05] hey guys.. anyone using lxy? [15:05] put it on a pastebin because something doesn't sound right :P [15:05] Burkeburke that's a yes/no question... what brings you here? [15:05] can u give me the command line again for pastebin [15:05] Milen: pastebinit [15:05] Milen: no you can do it manually this time [15:05] i want to see what you ran and the output :P [15:05] I opened up lyx and I wanted to restore the emergency save of a file. However the emergency file is 0 bytes big and the the original is broken [15:05] oki [15:06] Any idea of what I could do? [15:06] Burkeburke, 1. please avoid using "anyone ..." question. state your problems with specifics and details. 2. Yes I use LyX a bit [15:06] http://pastie.org/10412575 [15:06] cfhowlett, I think I just did that [15:07] Milen: what version is this live session? [15:07] Burkeburke, 0 file? did lyx restart. MAYBE there's a temp file somewhere .. [15:07] daftykins, how can i see uname -a or /etc/version? [15:07] 0 bytes, yes. I found that out after wondering why lyx refused to load the emergency [15:07] Milen: cat /etc/issue [15:08] or yeah just run 'uname -a' [15:08] buntu 14.04.3 LTS \n \l [15:08] u* [15:08] hrmm ok so it's new enough [15:08] Burkeburke, bad news - file wnasn't saved the [15:08] Milen: try the same with sdb1 perhaps [15:08] I found I have a Windows 8.1 Rescue disc I burned at some point. I'm gonna try to use that. [15:09] Thanks for the assistance thus far. [15:09] hello [15:09] krylor_max: hi [15:09] am new to Xchat [15:10] daftykins, : http://pastie.org/10412580 [15:10] krylor_max this is the ubuntu support channel [15:10] cfhowlett, so you think its gone definately [15:10] ? [15:10] Oh [15:10] Well, that wouldn't be odd, since I am using Ubuntu [15:10] Burkeburke, I'm looking in my .lyx directory - no sign of any partial saves or archives ... [15:11] Milen: well everything seems to be reporting that that SSD is damaged, or was never created properly - what's the situation here exactly? === hrobjartur is now known as bartur [15:11] mmm not sure, buy a lap top before 2 months [15:11] installed a fresh copy of win7 [15:11] mmm [15:12] anyone ? [15:12] alright then... I should accept reality and start woriking on it again. [15:12] hello world [15:12] sorry Burkeburke . [15:12] and now trying to mount ssd to get some info, because it's friend lap top and don't have win pass [15:12] m0rk: anyone what? [15:12] hello world ? [15:12] m0rk: stop saying that.

[15:13] windows 7 password to load the windows [15:13] cn [15:13] Milen: show a "dmesg > ~/file && pastebinit ~/file [15:13] " [15:14] Burkeburke, there is a #lyx channel [15:14] daftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12340137/ [15:14] http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/IRC Burkeburke [15:16] Milen: hmm see lines 734 onward, 740 speaks of the disk being made wrong [15:16] or rather the partitions are (what i think is) beyond end of disk === Chris230 is now known as Guest59061 [15:16] daftykins, any solution [15:16] to mount the ssd? === Guest59061 is now known as christos230 [15:17] Milen: nope looks bad to me. [15:19] daftykins, maybe after some time, i'll have to change the hdd [15:19] to replace it with a new one [15:20] Milen: well there are no errors there, so perhaps just a clean install is all that's necessary [15:20] Hello. I'm planning to install Windows on one SSD and Ubuntu on another. Are there any specific difficulties in installing them on separate drives? [15:21] daftykins, clean install ubuntu [15:21] and after that i can mount the ssd hdd? [15:21] Milen: the SSDs NTFS partitions are faulty, it doesn't matter what OS you have installed or running from a live session - it looks to have issues [15:22] hello all [15:22] Ianovski: nope, i'd just have only one connected for the Windows install - fully update, then be sure to put GRUB on the Windows drive when installing to the second [15:24] daftykins: Do you mean disconnect the SSD I plan to install Ubuntu on? Why do you suggest I do that? [15:27] Ianovski: makes life easier when installing Windows to keep all its' boot components on the same disk, if two are in - they can boot up in another order and add confusion :) [15:28] probably doesn't matter, just a thing i do to make life easier [15:28] hello everybody! [15:28] daftykins: Thanks for the tip :) [15:28] i just migrated from windows to ubuntu, i can't access my synology diskstation... [15:29] daftykins: One more thing, how do I make sure I put GRUB on the Windows SSD? [15:29] fyratjugo: how are you trying to access it? [15:29] fyratjugo: via what method? samba would be fine [15:29] Ianovski: the installer has an entry for picking /dev/sdx to put it on [15:29] i tried using synologys software "synology assistant" [15:29] ok, samba what's that? [15:29] daftykins: And I should definitely put GRUB on the Windows SSD, yeah? [15:29] * fyratjugo dancing [15:29] SMB, windows file sharing [15:30] Ianovski: yep [15:30] lol fyratjugo [15:30] how do i use it? i'm a linux noob, be nice, if i just can get this to work, i promise to start reading some f** manuals. [15:31] !samba | fyratjugo start reading [15:31] fyratjugo start reading: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/samba.html [15:31] daftykins: Would you happen to have any.. guides or tutorials on doing what I'm planning to do? I'm nervous I'll mess things up lol [15:31] Ianovski: nope [15:31] fyratjugo: I would bet that the NAS is already setup correctly and that you just need to mount the shares [15:31] ubottu: the NAS is a linux machine, not windows. i have it connected directly to my ethernet port. [15:32] no windows, no more :) [15:32] still samba? [15:32] yeah, 'cause there are no Windows NASes :p [15:32] fyratjugo: probably [15:32] you can probably use other things, too, though [15:32] fyratjugo: samba is just a protocol. Have you ever logged into the web interface on your NAS? [15:32] yes [15:32] fyratjugo: but it shares files using the Windows protocol [15:33] but i can't access the web interface now either.. [15:33] reisio: *cough* windows home server [15:33] fyratjugo: then you should be able to see what the shares are [15:33] fyratjugo: you need to set a static IP on that network interface by the sounds of it, if you're not going via a router it can't talk to the NAS. [15:33] fyratjugo: when you say it's connected directly to your ethernet port, do you mean on your router or directly to y our PC? [15:33] direct to pc. [15:33] worked on windows. [15:33] then it's as i said [15:34] yeah but Windows set an IP... [15:34] ok, how to set static ip? [15:34] fyratjugo: open the terminal application and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit && ip a | pastebinit" [15:35] daftykins: what about it [15:35] nevermind, moment has passed [15:35] fyratjugo: our of curiosity, do you have a router? [15:36] i have several routers but none that i use [15:36] how are you online then? :P [15:36] i use my phone, usb-tethering [15:37] nasty [15:37] it works great [15:38] anyway that's off topic [15:38] did you run the command yet? [15:38] no, i get an error when pasting it, i'm trying to input by hand [15:38] sorry for bad english btw, i'm swedish. [15:39] daftykins: How do I make sure GRUB is put onto the Windows disk? [15:39] i won't hold it against you ^_^ [15:39] Ianovski: by selecting the right disk during the installer, as mentioned [15:39] daftykins: Right. Thanks! [15:39] daftykins: During Ubuntu installing, right? [15:39] Ianovski: you might have to use 'something else' during partitioning [15:40] command run! [15:40] daftykins: I plan to use that anyway. I read somewhere that I should set the size of the different things, like /, swap and /home. [15:40] http://paste.ubuntu.com/12340576/ [15:40] how does one change the name of a partition? [15:41] fyratjugo: ok so your eth0 doesn't have an IP address at all, if that's the interface connected to the synology. can you double check the cable is in and the lights are on on the Synology end? [15:41] DammitJim: ext partition? [15:41] daftykins: Alright, thanks for your help. I'll attempt to do it, now. :D [15:42] the lights are "off" it's in standby/sleep mode. One of the disks is broken so if i restart it an annoying beep will go off. I can only turn it off via the webinterface, so i haven't done that. [15:42] .... [15:42] reisio, what you see when you do a df: /dev/mapper/upbos101test--vg-home [15:43] all the dev mappers I need to change the piece that says upbos101test [15:43] but if you can promise me that we can fix this today, i restart her. [15:43] fyratjugo: well if you still have Windows on, you could just check what the IP address the synology has at present [15:43] there are no promises :) [15:44] http://192.168.1.186:5000/webman/index.cgi <- this was the adress to access the web interface, but it doesn't work now... [15:44] windows is gone. [15:44] DammitJim: lvrename maybe [15:44] ah ok [15:44] DammitJim: or vgrename, even [15:44] fyratjugo: run this "sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" [15:44] actually i just tried to reinstall it, but there where problems with installation so i made a clean ubuntu install and took it as a sign :) [15:45] fyratjugo: then open a browser and try reaching http://192.168.1.186/ [15:46] unable to connect... [15:46] try "ping 192.168.1.186" - ctrl+C to stop [15:46] i haven't restarted the NAS yet. [15:47] it might need that :) [15:47] if it were in standby it should wake up i would think [15:47] fyratjugo what's your gateway? [15:47] there doesn't need to be a gateway [15:47] destination host unreachable.. [15:47] it's a local device at the end of a direct cable connection [15:47] daftykins: you'd need to send a magic packet I recon [15:47] whats a gateway? [15:47] fyratjugo: ok reboot it [15:48] tgm4883: well, they wake up when e.g. windows has a mapped drive and you browse onto them, so that can't do it for you [15:48] hey it's blinking now! and i haven't rebooted.. [15:48] ok retry the ping [15:48] and the browser [15:49] reisio, what do I need to refresh after the change? [15:49] DammitJim: no idea, I don't use LVM [15:49] i don't know if the ping's successful.. [15:50] fyratjugo: should be pretty obvious [15:50] is there any good screen capture apps for ubuntu? i used greenshot for windows. [15:50] DammitJim: what do you mean by change the name? you want to rename a Logical Volume? [15:50] fyratjugo: e.g. 64 bytes from : icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.16 ms [15:50] 27 packets transmitted, 0 recieved, 100% packet loss, time 25999ms <- ping [15:50] fyratjugo: there are lots, but something using ffmpeg as a backend will work best [15:50] TJ-, yes [15:50] what you see when you do a df: /dev/mapper/upbos101test--vg-home [15:50] fyratjugo: ok nevermind, just restart the unit [15:51] DammitJim: if you use 'lvrename' that alters the device-mapper name instantly [15:51] oh ok, then I renamed the vg, not the lv [15:51] my BT headphones stop playing music when taking them off [15:52] how does VLC get that message to pause playback? any idea how that works [15:52] DammitJim: OK, well the same thing applies. The device-mapper name should be updated at the same time [15:52] when I do df, it still shows the old name [15:52] freezer_, the P key is one method [15:53] BluesKaj, you think the BT headphones send the P key to the PC? [15:53] freezer_, nope [15:53] hey folks, I'm using xrdp to connect to my computer remotely but I'm having an issue where my cursor appears in an x shape. The desktop(LXDE) loads fine and I can do everything but the cursor is in that weird x shape. Is there any way to fix that? I should mention that it doesn't do that with xfce [15:54] finetundra2235: sounds like you have no wm loaded [15:54] reisio, how would I check? I know that other parts of the cursor theme work despite the regular cursor being an x [15:56] finetundra2235 i guess the X cursor is an old Unix relic (if your screen looks what i think it looks like) [15:56] MonkeyDust: how do you think it looks? [15:56] if you just start X with no wm or DE or anything, your cursor will be an X [15:56] when I try to install play on linux from synaptic, it says in the "TO BE REMOVED" section that it is going to remove unity. How do I go about instaliing play on linux without removing unity or it's dependencies? [15:57] Sorry I had a similar quesiton yesterday, I am getting an error "address already in use" when I try to deploy a jetty server. When I run 'lsof -i tcp:8888" (which is the port it says it can't bind to because something is running there) It shows nothing. What is another command I can run to find what else is running? [15:57] restarted and pc-speaker beep on repeat. [15:57] daftykins: ^ [15:57] MonkeyDust: The DE loads just like a regular lxde session just with the sursor acting up. I can fix it by opening "customize look and feel" but that only lasts for the session [15:59] fyratjugo: right but what about it responding to ping, webpage working - or the lights being on? [15:59] Can I just list all listening ports? [16:00] webpage: no, ping: no, lights: yes [16:00] do you want me to try the other commands again? [16:00] pastebin and ifconfig? [16:00] sure it's not ipconfig btw... [16:01] ifconfig [16:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/12340936/ [16:03] tried ifconfig and accessing webinterface again, no luck. [16:03] fyratjugo: ipconfig is windows. [16:03] what you discussing [16:03] beep slowly driving me (more) insane... [16:03] you have some sort of usb network adapter ? [16:03] yes [16:03] fyratjugo: alright either the address is wrong, or it's set to DHCP (get an IP automatically) and it's not going to work how you're doing it, direct [16:03] fyratjugo: my best advice to you is to go and get one of your routers, plug it in between you and the synology - then configure it with a static IP address. [16:03] * tgm4883 wonders if anyone has tried 169... [16:03] mobilephone is hooked up via usb to provide me with glorious internet. [16:04] hi, I have a problem with usb [16:04] its not registering new devices, and lsusb hangs [16:04] can anyone help me reset my usb? [16:04] tgm4883: not since eth0 had no IP at all no, APIPA would be fun and games to start guessing :P [16:04] Laurenceb: laptop? [16:05] desktop [16:05] daftykins: ok... i'll see if i can find them. not sure if i have enough cables though,.. [16:05] Laurenceb: turn it off, remove the mains power cable - let it sit for a moment, plug back in and fire up - that should reset the controllers nicely. [16:06] fyratjugo, it was working with win ? i mean with the same cable ? [16:06] when I try to install play on linux from synaptic, it says in the "TO BE REMOVED" section that it is going to remove unity. How do I go about instaliing play on linux without removing unity or it's dependencies? [16:06] fyratjugo i'm still not following... usb connects to something that connects to the internet, no? [16:06] does anyone know how to disable buffering on a USB drive ? [16:08] MonkeyDust: why bother to confuse a user when it's only yourself that doesn't follow the query, not them? === hugegree_ is now known as hugegreenbug [16:08] they user has: tethered phone <- USB -> Ubuntu system <- LAN -> Synology NAS [16:08] MonkeyDust, i think he connected directly with an eth cable ubuntu and the nas , and connect to the web with his phone [16:09] *the [16:09] yep ^ [16:09] how do I go to a terminal when I boot from a live cd? [16:09] Can I just list all listening ports?tcp 0 0 *:8888 *:* LISTEN [16:09] after you wrote file to a usb storage, run sync command make system writing files right now. [16:09] no, nevermind [16:09] stupid question [16:09] but if I run lsof -i tcp:8888 I get nothing. Is that correct? [16:10] jayjo: netstat tuln [16:10] *netstat -tuln [16:11] that line shows up there too [16:11] @jayjo did you tried netstat | grep LISTEN [16:11] I am on Ubuntu 14.04. I replaced that line with oh sorry, I hit the up arrow [16:11] tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8888 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN [16:11] jayjo: don't paste here. [16:13] Seems I have installed Windows 10 + Ubuntu without UEFI. (When booting the USB stick I could choose UEFI or just normal) what difference does that make? [16:13] Is there a way to investigate the process further with netstat? It definitely shows up and is Listening on 8888 [16:13] when I try to install play on linux via synaptic, it says in the "TO BE REMOVED" section that it is going to remove unity. How do I go about instaliing play on linux without removing unity or it's dependencies? [16:14] vooze: what usb stick? [16:14] reisio, just normal USB burned with unetbootin and windows creation tool :) [16:14] I just realised after I did not choose UEFI [16:15] jayjo: if you add -p to the netstat you did it should list the PID and program name [16:15] vooze: to be used for what purpose [16:15] reisio, installing windows 10 + ubuntu ofcourse :) [16:15] it works, I'm must wondering if there is a downside to not using UEFI [16:16] vooze: not hugely [16:16] if it works i'd say leave it be [16:16] EFI windows could make use of secure boot, but eh === Chris230 is now known as Guest91036 [16:17] daftykins, thats it? I have secure boot turned on, but I dont really care if its "secure" or not. [16:17] vooze: ah, thought you'd done that already [16:17] UEFI has no advantages for end users, only vendors [16:18] yeah, like daftykins says, if it ain't broke, it ain't broke [16:18] wait for a problem to have one [16:18] vooze, maybe the point is if you are using gpt or msdos .... [16:18] lol [16:18] vooze: beyond booting from a 3TB+ disk with Windows, there's nothing to be gained [16:19] ah okay :D thanks [16:19] Guess i'll just leave it be. [16:21] hello [16:21] Hi [16:21] anyone here using linuxlite? [16:22] fearless_man: what's that [16:22] fearless_man, not supported or discussed here [16:22] I want a +o too [16:22] ok, i connected the router, but when i did, i lost internet connection. [16:23] if i disable the router connection i can access internet. [16:23] reisio another one of those ubuntu forks [16:23] i don't remember my credentials for weblogin to router. [16:23] they closed their irc channel [16:23] mmm [16:23] isn't there a way to access the NAS directly via ethernet? [16:24] fyratjugo, it was working with win ? i mean with the same cable ? [16:24] fearless_man, still off-topic here. sorry. [16:24] yes [16:24] fyratjugo: yes but only if it has an IP at the other end too :P [16:24] but if an OS closes down support channels MAYBE you should reconsider you choice of install [16:24] fyratjugo: no just go into the network manager settings and configure the LAN interface eth0 to use a static IP with no gateway [16:25] daftykins: with router connection enabled? [16:25] fyratjugo: yep [16:26] https://www.synology.com/en-global/support/download/DS212j [16:26] what can I use to edit a file when I am booted from an instalation cd? [16:26] ok, brb [16:26] yeah i've setup a few of the 212s :P [16:26] I'm on ~ # [16:26] DammitJim: nano [16:26] depends what you're editing [16:26] dammit [16:26] fstab is not available when booting from the cd [16:26] I guess I need to mount it? [16:26] yes it is [16:26] ugh [16:26] you just have to mount the disk first [16:27] !backbox | backbox [16:27] backbox: Backbox Linux is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu and is thus not supported in #ubuntu. Please use #backbox on irc.autistici.org or https://forum.backbox.org/ for help with it. [16:27] troubles using Ettercap [16:27] backbox: see above, you are not using Ubuntu [16:27] i've been using it for like 2 years since I jump out of windows. the only thing that bugs me is when i turn of my laptop my wlan switch led lights white even turn off so i have to tap the switch twice to turn it off kinda annoying, any workaround? [16:27] reisio ^^ [16:28] help [16:28] backbox: no, you are in the wrong place - Backbox Linux is not supported here. read up. [16:28] backbox, we did help you. go to #backbox. [16:28] i can't find the setting [16:28] for eth0, or LAN [16:28] when I try to install play on linux via synaptic, it says in the "TO BE REMOVED" section that it is going to remove unity. How do I go about instaliing play on linux without removing unity or it's dependencies? [16:29] pdc2, install an alternate DE, logout/choose alternate/login, install playonlinux [16:29] fyratjugo: alright, try putting the cable between the synology NAS again direct and we'll try something else. [16:30] she's connected [16:30] ok [16:30] why can't i share a directory on my external hd on the network [16:31] fyratjugo: run "sudo ifconfig eth0 169.254.1.1 netmask 255.255.0.0" [16:31] fyratjugo: now run "sudo apt-get install nmap" to get nmap installed [16:31] let me rephrase my q. can i like program my wifi's light to turn on or off? [16:32] done [16:32] cfhowlett, I have kde and unity. It removes kde and unity depencies altogether [16:32] fearless_man: not usually, no [16:33] cfhowlett, like when I install playonlinux/wine, it installs without a fuss but when I reboot my computer both kde and unity are gone [16:33] pdc2, it's removing all DE? I'd say that's broken, but take it up playonlinux support. problem is on their end. [16:33] fyratjugo: ok, "sudo nmap -sP 169.254.0.1-169.254.255.254" [16:33] fyratjugo: that might give an error though [16:34] yep. No targets specified [16:35] fyratjugo: sudo nmap -sP 169.254.0.1/16 [16:35] Hello. How do I get an old (HP Scanjet 2200c) to be recognized on Ubuntu 15.04 64 bit? I've tried "lsusb", but, though it is a USB printer, it doesn't show up [16:35] ok, it started something [16:35] reisio too bad it's too anoying to double tap the switch everytime i boot. [16:36] Sbur, dmesg | tail [16:36] Sbur: http://sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=hp&model=2200c&bus=any&v=&p= [16:36] fearless_man: what's that do? [16:37] cfhowlett, what is the IRC for playonlinux/wine please? [16:38] /msg alis list *wine* [16:38] etc. [16:38] i need music! can't stand this beep. but there is no sound from youtube (flash). i have an external soundcard.. html5 works though. [16:40] fyratjugo: it may take some time [16:40] fyratjugo free music, type "play rock" or so http://cmdto.com/fm [16:42] fyratjugo: maybe just buy a working disk to replace the dead one ;) [16:42] daftykins: what's the use when i can't access the nas [16:42] thanks for the music btw [16:42] because that is coming [16:42] you should show more patience if you want to make use of Ubuntu :) [16:43] essentially your problem is down to not having a proper network, or having your NAS configured properly. [16:43] reisio when I switch off my wifi the led turns orange. after booting the led turns white (even if I already turned it off) so what I do it tap the switch twice, like turn it on and off again just to make the led turn orange. [16:44] daftykins: ok. as long as the problem is solveable. [16:45] sure [16:45] there might be a better place to ask this but... [16:45] and i've been using windows for 15 years, i know patience ;) [16:46] reisio so can I like fix it? some workaround I guess. [16:46] does anyone know if you can somehow get the same effect as using the youtube syntax font styles on Skype like you can on windows? (ie: *bold*, etc)? [16:47] ash_work: it's such an ancient client on Linux that i doubt it [16:47] two things made me wanna go all in linux: ms installing a keylogger. and the discovery of irssi and bash (cygwin) [16:47] fyratjugo: the keylogger one is obviously you misreading about the insider editions :) [16:47] fyratjugo and the great people in this channel... [16:48] daftykins: skype is not popular on linux? [16:48] !skype | ash_work [16:48] ash_work: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [16:48] ash_work: i didn't say anything about popularity, i said the client is ancient [16:48] MonkeyDust: yes. this is by far the most freindly clash of linux people i have ever spoken to. [16:48] it doesn't get updated like the Windows one [16:49] daftykins: I see; I sorta felt that implied it's not popular. But yeah, I get it :) [16:49] fearless_man: orange means off? [16:49] i think making that connection is not sensible [16:50] reisio yes. Can I program my wifi's led? *I'm thinking of writing a scrip and run it at boot time [16:52] hi [16:52] daftykins: :\ ... at least I wanted to clarify, however I'll be more careful in the future and rephrase it to something like: "Does the fact that Microsoft does not update Skype for Ubuntu imply that the demand for Skype is not very large on that platform?" [16:53] Which of the jobs in /etc/cron.daily is the most disk I/O charged? [16:54] ash_work: :D [16:54] fearless_man: you usually can't directly, but sometimes you can disable/enable an entire device, and if the light responds to that, then you can essentially :p [16:54] ash_work: microsoft does update skype for linux [16:54] not that it matters, webrtc will kill skype [16:54] Bradipo, do you have spamassassin ? [16:55] ioria: No. [16:55] current skype is from 2014. version preceding that was from 2012 iirc ... [16:55] I think it's probably apt, but I'm not certain. [16:55] Bradipo: maybe the APT upadting for the MOTD if relevant, yeah [16:55] does anyone know where i put irssi scripts? in windows it was C:\Cygwin\USER\irssi... [16:56] daftykins: Yes, I think so. [16:56] What exactly does /etc/cron.daily/apt do? [16:56] i need ma crapbuster atleast.. my old setup is on the (still beeping) NAS [16:56] RTFM is fine if there is an FM to read on /etc/cron.daily/apt [16:56] reisio you mean I have to recompile my own kernel for that? [16:57] fearless_man: dunno, all depends :) [16:57] probably not, if it'll work at all [16:57] Bradipo: probably like i say, checking for updates to display in the MOTD on login? [16:59] ok i found it. but it's a lock on the folder. i downloaded a script, it's in downloads, when i try to paste it in the irssi script-folder, i can't do it.. [17:01] bloop -- blender crashed again after we got it running yesterday/last nite :( [17:01] reisio: but they haven't rolled out a new version in a long time... right? [17:02] daftykins: the NAS went standby again, still beeping, Nmap - don't know lots of scan reports came up.. [17:02] fyratjugo: throw it on http://paste.ubuntu.com [17:04] http://paste.ubuntu.com/12342014/ [17:04] it doesn't say it's done though. [17:04] why can't i share a directory on my external hd by linux on the network [17:04] why can't i share a directory on my external hd by linux on the network i have no access [17:05] fyratjugo: nah, hmm ok i think this approach is not going to work. can you come on IRC from your tethered phone so that you can have just your PC + NAS connected via a router? [17:05] they're both going to need to be powered off, router setup - then powered on [17:05] daftykins: np [17:05] brb [17:05] reisio Simple Problem = Simple Fix(acceptance*it's all part of the game) thanks by the way [17:10] Daftykin I'm on the phone router and nah is friends. [17:10] fyratjugo: what is friends? :) [17:11] Sry just trying to be funny. Same old. [17:11] I stopped nmap [17:11] ok [17:11] did you power both devices off and on again? [17:12] computer + NAS [17:12] goddamn it is painfully difficult registering a nick with freenode [17:13] No power off should I? [17:13] maybe I"m just a moron [17:13] bradford281: tell that to #freenode please :) off topic here [17:13] gotcha [17:13] fyratjuge: yeah turn both off [17:14] hello === SonikkuAmerica is now known as Guest6294 [17:15] what does it mean when i get system program problem [17:15] a crash [17:15] LOG === littlebunnyfufu is now known as SonikkuAmerica [17:16] oh [17:16] i am apt-getting an upgrade hten [17:16] Ok they are off. Start em? Both? [17:16] paste the log from apt [17:16] fyratjuge: if the test router is on and both are networked into it, yes [17:17] how to share a directory on a external hd by linux on the network [17:18] beaky look in /var/crash ... the name of the file should give you an hint of what thing is involved [17:18] apt-get install samba-server [17:18] arthur_: samba correctly configured [17:18] my firefox browser is very slow to open [17:18] Daftykins i got some network error but it. Disappeared. .. [17:18] arthur_: i suspect you've tried right click -> share via nautilus and it's not working eh? [17:18] how to make it faster? [17:18] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%20to%20Create%20a%20Network%20Share%20Via%20Samba%20Via%20CLI%20(Command-line%20interface/Linux%20Terminal)%20-%20Uncomplicated,%20Simple%20and%20Brief%20Way! [17:19] fyratjuge: "ip a" in the terminal should show an IP address beside eth0? [17:19] fyratjuge: the router should be giving out 192.168.1.x or similar to your PC [17:19] daftykins: the strange thing is when i do it on a directory on the internal hd it works by right click on the directory [17:20] arthur_: is the disk NTFS maybe? [17:20] yes [17:20] yeah there you go then, permissions issue [17:20] Two ips. .. [17:20] Is there any documentation on what /etc/cron.daily/apt does? [17:20] Beside the script itself... [17:20] arthur_: you'll need to create/edit the /etc/fstab mount and ensure it's setting the correct permissions [17:21] 192.168.2.197/24 ::: 192.168.2.255 [17:22] fyratjuge: cool, so your router is giving out 192.168.2.x [17:22] fyratjuge: now run "sudo nmap -sP 192.168.2.1-254" [17:22] if your NAS is there, it'll find it as another IP instead of .197 [17:24] arthur_: http://www.d-lan.net/ [17:24] daftykins: in the fstab i see nothing about the external hd partions [17:24] Yes. 186 [17:24] fyratjuge: cool, can you open firefox and visit http://192.168.2.186 ? [17:25] arthur_: then it must be auto mounted, it'll come up as /media/username/blah if you type "mount" ? [17:27] Yah. Beep is off! Web interface accessed. [17:27] fyratjuge: ok, go into the synology settings and look for network settings, you need to set it to have a static IP - and disable DHCP [17:27] daftykins: on the windows pc i see the share but have no access === VonB1 is now known as VonB [17:28] arthur_: yes because of permissions, i have already mentioned this [17:29] daftykins: what must the permissons be [17:29] Network interface? Disable get network configuration auto? [17:29] Dhcp [17:29] Use manual configuration [17:29] fyratjuge: yep, then give it a simple IP address like the one it already had maybe, 192.168.2.186 [17:30] netmask 255.255.255.0 [17:30] daftykins: by disk it auto mount the external hd [17:30] arthur_: well as mentioned right now your external disk is being automounted when it connects - you have two choices: 1) format the disk to Ext4 and share it with correct permissions 2) edit /etc/fstab to mount the disk with working permissions at boot time (the disk will need to always be connected) [17:31] Done [17:31] daftykins: i can't format it to ext4 must ntfs [17:33] arthur_: right so option 2 then :P [17:33] fyratjuge: all good? ok remove the router and go back to just one network cable PC <-> NAS [17:34] daftykins: yes but i use linux mint [17:34] Ok. [17:34] arthur_: oh for Tux's sake - this is ubuntu support not Mint. [17:34] daftykins: yes but i use linux mint and by disk i see it's auto mount but i see nothing about it [17:34] !mint [17:34] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [17:34] daftykins: yes but i use linux mint and by disk i see it's auto mount but i see nothing about it in the fstab [17:34] daftykins: i now but linux is linux [17:35] fyratjuge: now you can follow this guide for how to statically address your PC as 192.168.2.197 like before - https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/net-fixed-ip-address.html [17:35] arthur_: yeah that's nice, but this is #ubuntu - so sorry, can't help you. [17:35] arthur_: this is also not the first time you have used this channel as a resource to help you with your problems on Mint - why do you continue to deceive? [17:36] join their channel and ask them how to edit fstab to mount that NTFS disk with samba compatible permissions :) [17:37] i use this channel because i now it works in mint to [17:37] what you are doing is deceiving us and causing us to endure the problems of another distribution - they are not identical and do get alternative issues [17:37] if you know it works, why say you're using mint, going out of your way to get into your own way :p [17:37] so i suggest in future you go to THEIR channel and stop hassling us. [17:38] Hi, does anyone know why "sudo chmod 755 *" in a directory doesn't change mode and "sudo su" then "chmod 755 *" changes them? [17:38] daftykins: i change it and now i see it in the fstab [17:38] daftykins: i change it and now i see it in the fstabdaftykins: what must the sudo service smbd restart [17:39] daftykins: do i have to restart now [17:39] sorry, not helping with Mint. i told you where to ask and what to ask - you will get no more. [17:39] what is the name of the program that handles the login screen on ubuntu 15.04? [17:39] alistair: lightdm [17:39] alistair: lightdm-greeter usually [17:39] Daftykins. Net mask . Gateway? [17:40] fyratjuge: netmask 255.255.255.0, leave gateway blank [17:40] thanks :-) [17:42] Ok done. [17:42] I reconnect to irc via pc now? === veli-diallo is now known as Mamadou [17:42] fyratjuge: yep [17:43] you should maintain connection to the NAS with this [17:44] CIAO [17:44] ITALIAN [17:44] !it [17:44] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [17:44] yes, yes you are :) [17:44] quit [17:45] HI [17:45] ok, i'm on the pc! [17:46] \o/ [17:46] i can access the nas web interface [17:46] and internet works [17:46] fyratjuge: you should be able to "ping 192.168.2.186" in a terminal too [17:47] yep [17:47] cool, Ctrl+C to stop [17:47] fyratjuge: so now it's just getting access to the data on there you need i guess? :) [17:48] exactamundo [17:48] it shows up in the network [17:48] fyratjuge: i wonder if the files program will show you the synology on the left hand side [17:48] yeah [17:48] anything from clicking on it? [17:48] it asks for credentials. [17:48] it doesn't accept the ones i'm giving... [17:48] you should have a username + password set on the web admin [17:48] maybe worth checking [17:49] fyratjuge: alternatively the synology .deb you installed should work now - the assistant program? [17:49] assuming you meant you have that on Ubuntu [17:49] daftykins: ok, i try [17:50] Hello! [17:50] Once again! [17:50] welcome back [17:50] lol Thanks daftykins, I knew you'd remember me! [17:51] I'm still in the process of installing windows/ubuntu on the drives [17:51] but, I have another question.... [17:51] mmhmm? [17:52] Prior to removing Ubuntu, something happened which caused my boot splash screen to ... shrink? It has a black border around it. The same thing applied to the Grub2 menu. I thought, once removing Ubuntu, it would change... but no. It still affects the boot screen, but also Windows, once I logged in! :( === sins-_b is now known as sins- [17:52] Even while installing Windows, it had the thick black border around it [17:53] I don't know why it has shrunk, though... [17:53] yes it works, but i can only access the web interface with it... [17:53] And, it happens on both monitors! It's not just one monitor. [17:53] Ianovski: err i suspect that might be more down to the wrong resolution being set - and your monitor doesn't scale the image up to the full size. perhaps you just need graphics drivers on to use it properly [17:54] on windows you where able to mount drives through the assistant app... [17:54] fyratjugo: hmm i think you're going to need to check the usernames and passwords set on your NAS web admin and try again [17:54] no such option here. [17:54] daftykins: It never used to do this, that's the thing. Even my boot splash screen has shrunk, and drivers don't have an effect on that does it? [17:54] Ianovski: which are you typing from now? [17:54] daftykins: My laptop lol [17:54] i can login to webadmin, but the same credentials doesn't work in file manager.. [17:54] the resolution being wrong can cause black borders [17:55] fyratjugo: you probably need 'admin' if you're just clicking on the main NAS device in Nautilus (the Files app) [17:55] daftykins: But how has the resolution of the boot screen, Windows installation, and Windows itself changed? [17:55] daftykins: Is there some sort of system-wide default resolution? [17:55] Ianovski: well lets focus on the facts - boot one of the OSs and check which resolution it's outputting at. [17:55] fyratjugo, i think you need some protocol , like nfs or smb to share with your nas ... just an idea [17:56] im in! [17:56] ioria: yeah that's what nautilus is doing when it sees the network device... [17:56] !info nfs-common [17:56] nfs-common (source: nfs-utils): NFS support files common to client and server. In component main, is optional. Version 1:1.2.8-9ubuntu8.1 (vivid), package size 188 kB, installed size 752 kB [17:56] daftykins: I did on Windows, and the resolution was 1024x768... and it was greyed out; I couldn't chnge it. [17:56] ok. now i want to permanently mount some of the folders.. [17:56] Ianovski: right and that sounds like too low a resolution - so you need to install graphics drivers. [17:57] Ianovski: just run windows update and get it all up to date - same with ubuntu, make sure you're all up to date - then it might just be a case of installing a driver too. [17:57] daftykins: Yep, and once I did that.. it was fine. However, the boot screen - and I'm sure GRUB once I install it - remains very small with a black border. [17:58] Ianovski: yeah. is that really a problem though... [17:58] sounds like scaling on your monitor settings, try using the OSD to check for that setting, mine have it. [17:58] daftykins: It's not affecting anything, but I just wanted to fix it, and know what's causing it in case I should worry something's going wrong... something which I could prevent from deteriorating further. D: [17:59] daftykins: OSD? [17:59] on screen display [17:59] the menus [18:00] well that's kinda beyond OS support if i'm right :) [18:00] Ah right of course.. dummkopf! [18:00] Can I just stop bind? I haven't setup a dns server on it. Is it used for anything else? (I am running nginx atm, will it affect that?) [18:00] Yeah you're right, and I really do appreciate the help. :) [18:00] You're a good egg, daftykins. [18:00] :P [18:01] give it a go anyway, see if it's what's causing it [18:01] Yeah I will do, nice one! [18:01] Ianovski: often these issues also come about from using the old analog connections like VGA - instead of lovely digital ones like DVI, HDMI or Displayport [18:01] (between monitor + graphics card) [18:02] ok. it's 8 oclock. burger time! brb [18:02] i'm listening to music from my nas now btw. [18:02] daftykins: thank you soo much! [18:02] fyratjugo: :D no problem [18:03] mines a cheeseburger [18:03] daftykins: Oh really? Because I had messed about with them... A few days ago, when one monitor used VGA and the other DVI, I switched them about in order to fix something (didn't work). Now, they're both DVI. [18:03] ah DVI should be preferable [18:05] Im stuck at the login screen and lightdm has decided that the grub menu and all the ttys are not for me [18:05] What can i do? [18:06] Smilex: boot recovery mode to root shell, then check all files in your ~ are owned by your user [18:06] Cant [18:06] No grub menu [18:06] hello [18:07] hello, I have ASUS X552V and i cannot connect to internet.. there is any drivers for my laptop for internet?

[18:17] micw: i think you're in trouble there [18:17] wileee: the /boot folder [18:17] daftykins, i dont think so [18:17] that's only kernel, initrs grub+config [18:18] nothing that cannot be restored from defaults [18:18] i'd boot a live session, copy some over - chroot, run update-grub... [18:18] oh, i'm on the running system [18:18] or just chroot and reinstall kernel packages [18:18] unitl i reboot ;-) [18:18] that doesn't help i'd say [18:18] no need for chroot [18:19] ah well, did you recreate it already?

[18:34] bit odd [18:34] i had to double check that it was ubuntu, not windows ^^ [18:35] very funny [18:38] hi [18:38] hello [18:39] so, let's reboot. see yor maybe ^^ [18:39] you know how I can get netflix accounts [18:39] that has nothing to do with ubuntu i would say [18:39] somewhere to download free netflix accounts [18:39] no [18:40] I need help [18:40] no idea what you mean but that is not an ubuntu support question so not relevant here. === sins-_b is now known as sins- === x86penguin is now known as x86p3nguin === x86p3nguin is now known as p3nguin === p3nguin is now known as x86penguin [18:54] can someone tell me what is wrong with my systemd daily timer script?

If you want to auto-complete a file you can type in letters that appear in order... but not all the letters. So for abc/def/xyz.js you could type abdxj and it would figure out what you want.

[19:04] so i was right :) [19:04] Whats the issue? I don't see where I'm going wrong here/ [19:05] tommaso, Ask your question and if anyone can help they will respond. [19:05] Lexicade: you can add the different programs that you want to run on screen startup to $HOME/.screenrc [19:06] I have downloaded an iso image of linux mint and now i want to "write" it on my hard drive [19:06] i have alrreadfy installed Windows 10 and uuntu [19:06] ubuntu, sorry [19:06] and i also have 50 GB of white space in ext4 format [19:07] i'd like to install linux mint [19:07] Hmm...

Then use the CD to install. [19:12] I'm using 15.04, just (automatically) upgraded kernel to 3.19.0-29 (from 3.19.0-28). One boot, the keyboard doesn't work to enter the crypt passphrase. I need to go to recovery mode to enter the passphrase. Then login proceeds normally. [19:12] maash: yeah so manually boot -28 and test [19:13] maash: try sudo update-initramfs -u -k all [19:13] I did the update-initramfs -u -k all. My /etc/initramfs-tools/modules is empty. Should it have contents? [19:14] I don't know what is meant by "-28 and test" [19:14] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1238194 [19:14] Launchpad bug 1238194 in initramfs-tools (Ubuntu Saucy) "keyboard doesn't work to enter password with encrypted partitions ubuntu 13.10 saucy" [Critical,Fix released] [19:14] a bit old...

[19:14] maash: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:15] maash, he means to boot an older kernel [19:15] maash: booting the -28 kernel of course [19:15] I can even boot the current kernel after I go to the recovery mode. (BTW how do I specify to grub that I'd like to boot an earlier kernel?) [19:15] back ^^ but with different computer [19:16] maash: you select it from the advanced options menu item [19:16] ping [19:16] Sorry let me rephrase: how can I specify that the boot should automatically be from an earlier kernel? [19:16] (I know how to select the older kernel once I have gone to the menu) [19:17] maash, remove the new kernel ? that would automatic load the older .. [19:17] edit your default in /etc/default/grub [19:17] are my messages getting through? [19:17] :) [19:17] mustmodify: yes, but none have been a question yet [19:18] daftykins: Does this involve editing the line GRUB_DEFAULT=0 ? [19:18] maash: yes [19:18] maash: so e.g. if you have 29 and 28 - you'd want to change 0 to 3 [19:18] daftykins: Well, one was. Then I was just wanting to verify it got through. I was asking whether there was a tool to do autocomplete like some text editors I've experienced. [19:19] mustmodify: 'tool to do autocomplete' - not following you there [19:19] daftykins: thanks, I'll try that and be back (I hope). [19:20] mustmodify: you can use find to look for files [19:20] daftykins: TextMate and some other editors have a feature that I would love to use on the command line. If you want to auto-complete a file path you can type in letters that appear in sequence... but not all the letters. So for abc/def/xyz.js you could type abdxj and it would figure out what you want. Is there a linux package like that? [19:20] mustmodify: BASH already does that at the command line, still vague to me :) [19:22] Why should texteditors autocomplete ? only IDE programms can do that, AFAIK [19:23] locate could also work but you need to run updatedb === sins-_b_c is now known as sins- [19:26] OerHeks: shhh === jswe_ is now known as jswe [19:28] hello.

[19:29] daftykins: Sorry, apparently my client died. [19:30] daftykins: ok so if I have a file at abc/def/xyz.js and I type a, assuming there is one and only one file/directory starting with a, that will auto-complete. [19:30] Then I can type d [19:30] but I want to know if I can type adxj and have that work. [19:31] elosz, what are you trying to build? [19:31] elosz: Fire up a file manager with 'root' priviledges, and drag/drop files between 2 open windows ?

[19:36] grabbed another keyboard from the pile of used ones. It also stopped working after a few minutes. [19:36] mustmodify: that is some advanced shell logic you want. neve heard of anything like that. but lookup updatedb and locate [19:36] akik: I know. When I first saw it ... [19:37] mustmodify: there's also bash-completion which *might* have something similar [19:38] akik: I'll check it out, thanks. [19:39] Bashing-om: cp -r friend/ . should work right? when executed from usr/src/elosz/ [19:39] can anyone help me out [19:39] mustmodify, you need at least two characters... [19:40] akik: bash-completion's home page is like "Here's how to install. We're not discussing what it does." :) === sins-_b_c is now known as sins- [19:41] mustmodify: it brings some intelligence to commands and files related to those commands [19:42] is it possible / necessary to scan cmos for malware under ubuntu 14.04? [19:42] hi i am trying to set up zurmo on ubuntu 14.04 it requires "imap" and gives the error message "IMAP extension is not loaded. FAIL" can anyone help with that ? [19:42] elosz: Given that you are positive of the path, AND only files are to be copied ( no other subdirectories) then yes , the '.' is the short hand . [19:42] akik: got that. Just thought some examples would be nice. :) [19:43] I'll ask on their channel. [19:43] Holzbein yes simple way is to simply reflash with a diffrent version check it worked then update [19:43] Bashing-om: I need to copy files as well as directories [19:44] scatterp> thanks, more detail maybe? [19:44] Holzbein most bios`s contain some form of malware even if its just vendor backdoors you could install an open bios but its a lot of work :) [19:44] elosz: Then again, if you are positive of the paths .. then 'R' for recursively copy files and directoroes . [19:44] @scatterp like CoreBoot [19:44] ? [19:45] "most bios`s contain some form of malware" !fud [19:45] Holzbein exactly if you are in a situation where you really need to be concerned about security then look at other firmware like your cdrom controller [19:46] @scatterp the firmware for cdrom controller is likely to be corrupted? [19:46] Holzbein its pretty well known that theres a lot of backdoors and crap inserted by the chinese gov how ever those who shout the loudest about it are typically doing the same stuff === sins-_b_c is now known as sins- [19:46] scatterp-, it uses php ? [19:46] !fud [19:46] Please do not fall prey to, or spread FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) - it is not welcome here!

[19:47] elosz: Keep on mind that linux always "assumes" you know what you are doing, Is not forgiving if you make a mistake . [19:47] scatterp-, maybe that... but really don't know :þ [19:47] pici im just experessing my personal opinion holzbein what are you trying to secure against ? [19:47] OerHeks true [19:47] yeah Bashing-om. Worst case i can direct both directories and start from scratch:P [19:48] @scatterp against someone with lots of time on his hands and very crafted. i just want to be sure [19:48] ioria yeah i did apt-get install php5-imap but it did not seem to solve it see the error says not loaded rather than not installed oddly locate imap.ini and enmod imap shows the file both does and doesnt exist [19:48] @scatterp is it possible that these backdoors are exploited by other than chinese gov? [19:49] elosz: Yep, that is the good thing about 'cp' . can always then do a re-do . .. never hurts to check with the manual on your logic ( man cp ). [19:49] scatterp-, sudo php5enmod imap ? [19:50] Bashing-om: cp -a /source/. /dest/ is what I need [19:51] Show that in ABC the distance from the circumscribed circles center O to the side AB is half of the distance from C to orthocenter H [19:51] *the triangle ABC [19:51] Anyone?

[19:53] elosz: If you say so, it is your system and command ,... but the manual " -a, --archive " // the 'a' is for archieved files . [19:54] when i try to sudo clamd I get ERROR: initgroups() failed.

[19:58] micw: Path should be the same as 2.6.32. [19:58] jhutchins, seems that the -extra kernel package was missing [19:59] i had to reinstall all kernels because i accedently deleted /boot === megabit|away is now known as megabitdragon [19:59] now the system booted without hires splash and without keyboard/,mouse [20:00] jhutchins my fault for ignorance, what should i do?

(Hold shift at boot if you don't see the menu) [20:06] jhutchins, yes, i have. i could not try it at the moment when i needed it because i had no keyboard (missing usbhid modules ^^) [20:07] micw: If not, you can edit the grub command line to say "system.unit=rescue.target" [20:07] at the moment i have the system running (i just plugged out the faulty disk) [20:07] i'm resilvering my zfs pool, that will take a few hours. later i try go make it boot [20:07] to make it boot even if something fails ;-) === jnoob22 is now known as Harlin [20:08] doesnt exist.. [20:08] micw: I guess you need to learn how to set the timeout. [20:09] THREE: You need sudo.

[20:12] jhutchins, it does, but aprograms like apt-get and tar are slow are molasses [20:12] s/are/as [20:12] thank you all, good night [20:13] asmith: Fastest way will be booting linux from usb with persistent mode [20:13] jhutchins, 8,1 isn't available. === badbodh_1 is now known as badbodh [20:13] First steps to become confidential with it. [20:13] asmith_: Sorry, what is 8,1? [20:13] dieterd, so if I change iso to an img, I can boot it that way? [20:14] jhutchins, top shoes status "D" on those, "watch free" shows used cached RAM increasing slowly [20:14] J- its the version of the macbook [20:14] asmith_: Ah. It should mostly be the same as older models. [20:15] ok so just try 8,0 [20:15] also are there any phone support for ubuntu [20:15] PsynoKhi1: cat /proc/meminfo [20:15] asmith_: Nope. [20:15] lol...thanks [20:16] asmith_: It's just all of us together making it work. You're part of the support team now. [20:16] hello. can anyone here help me to solve a problem about ubuntu installation ? [20:16] trust me you don't want me on the support team [20:16] jhutchins, any specific value I should look for in the output? [20:17] PsynoKhi1: MemTotal? [20:17] asmith: look here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx [20:17] jhutchins, MemTotal: 24841608 kB which is correct [20:17] PsynoKhi1: There you go! [20:17] someone ? [20:17] Tachyon_: What did you try to do? How did you try to do it? What did you expect to happen? What happened instead? [20:18] jhutchins, yes, though it stoff doesn't explain why extracting tar balls and reading package list when running apt-get takes ages [20:18] s/stoff/still [20:18] I have boot ubuntu, I have waited about 10 seconds and then my screen show me a message like: cant display this, please change to 1280 x 1024 [20:19] PsynoKhi1: Possibly disk I/O [20:19] if i change the file ending from iso to .img in finder by manually typing and changing the name, is that the same as running the command function to change the file? [20:19] Question - if you are dual booting and using Grub - is it ok to add a third boot say if i wanted to check out another flavor of linux? [20:19] mjampala fix your connection please [20:20] ViperZ: Yes. [20:20] ViperZ: yep, grub installation for the new version will automatically figure out the previous Windows and linux versions, so go ahead [20:20] asmith_: I'm not sure what context you're asking about. I believe you have to do something to get the image file bootable by Mac, but I'm not sure what. [20:20] jhutchins, dual-booting with a plain 64bit distro which doesn't show any of the above mentioned issues, it only started atfer upgrading from 8 to 24GB RAM [20:20] asmith: No that is not the same. iso and img a little different inside. it is mostly some bytes at the beginning in detail. [20:20] meh. [20:20] grub will pick it up ok - nitin_ thanks [20:21] I have waited then few minutes and nothing changed. Any ideas ? [20:21] Tachyon_, what's your screen resolution? [20:21] yeah this sucks....do you think running a VM would be easier or can that make me more vulnerable to intrusion? [20:21] my max screen resolution is 1280 x 1024.. yeah.. old screen [20:21] Tachyon_: Looks like you were trying to set an unsupported screen resolution for the monitor that you have, did you try to set the resolution to the suggested values? [20:21] PsynoKhi1: Your ubuntu installation is 64bit, right? What do you mean "a plain 64bit distro"? [20:22] How can I set it in ubuntu install ? [20:22] Tachyon_: I think there's a text mode, but I'm not sure how to access it. [20:22] asmith: On stick you will have tools like gparted for changing partitions for your linux install in future. [20:22] Tachyon_: go to settings using the menu at the top right and then go to the option called display [20:22] I have just boot ubuntu, than wait, I wasnt asking nothing about settings [20:22] ubuntu install [20:23] from my uefi [20:23] I havent ubuntu installed.. yet [20:23] hi evreryone [20:24] who wanna join my party? [20:24] hey guys! How do you set the alt key for multiple selection like it is in windows? Or is there a different key for this? I knwo there is shift, but that selects only files next to each other, not randome ones. [20:24] nitin_: It wont overwrite the boot sector and mess grup will it? [20:25] so I havent any options .. [20:25] jhutchins, the issue I have is with ubuntu 14.04 32 bit, which is dualbooting with openSUSE 64 bit on the same HDD, openSUSE doesn't exhibit slow tar ball extraction [20:25] nitin_: Im looking to boot off a disk to install it [20:25] PsynoKhi1: What filesystem are you using for each distro? [20:26] Tachyon_, you could force VESA for the installation [20:26] asmith: You can also let linux run in a virtual machine: http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/06/running-linux-on-your-mac-2013-edition/ [20:26] Jordan_U, ext4 on both [20:26] damn my gtx 970 [20:26] AmyFlannigan: You might be able to do that using Ctrl if I understand you correctly, try that, and if that's not what you want, tell us what you mean by multiple selections [20:26] That are two safe methods for newb to run linux on a mac. [20:27] ViperZ: The last distribution that ran grub-install will have control over the bootloader, and grub-install is run during installation and any time the grub packages are updated. It shouldn't matter much which distribution has control though, as every distro should have entries for every other in their grub menu. [20:27] nitin_: Hey yea, that's it! Thanks :D [20:28] ViperZ: unless you are going to install a really old copy of some esoteric linux flavor, you shouldn't have any problems, as almost all versions use the same grub these days [20:28] Tachyon_, I think your screen doesn't that standard that reports screen resolution (sorry I can't remember the acronym for it) [20:28] AmyFlannigan: np [20:28] Tachyon_, doesn't support* [20:28] Jordan_U: Thank you sir [20:28] ViperZ: You're welcome. [20:28] nitin_: And thank you as well [20:29] psynokhil: um.. what is vesa ? what should I do ? [20:29] If all goes well ill be back to let you know :) [20:29] ViperZ: sure [20:30] Tachyon_, VESA is a basic video driver, do you get to the menu asking you if you want to install or try Ubuntu after starting form the CD/DVD/USB? [20:30] I didnt get it [20:30] How do I check how many files I have open at the moment? [20:31] cuddylier: run "lsof" [20:31] cuddylier: lsof [20:31] bprompt: Yeah but any idea on how to find just the number? [20:31] Tachyon_, did your screen show anything? [20:31] cuddylier: what are you specifically looking for? [20:31] I get only a image like http://news.softpedia.com/images/extra/LINUX/large/ubuntu1004installation-large_000.jpg for few seconds, than my screen says it dont like the resolution [20:31] bprompt: To see how many are open to deterime if increases I made to the limit have worked. [20:32] hi please help with virt-manager and apparmor [20:32] hmm [20:32] cuddylier: you might try -> lsof | wc -l; <--- that'd give how many "lines" are in the output [20:32] qemu-system-x86_64: -acpitable file=/sys/firmware/acpi/tables/SLIC: Wrong acpi table provided: can't open file /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/SLIC: Permission denied [20:33] <[Outcast]> anyone else noticing slowness from the apt servers? [20:33] 9039 hmm === bradjones is now known as bradjones|away [20:33] But unlimit -Hn says 65k [20:33] Tachyon_, ok at least it starts showing something... so you saw the first screen with the "DaVinci human = square with dots in it"? [20:34] yes, it have the dots [20:34] Tachyon_, when it shows the "person in a circle = keyboard" at the bottom, it means you can press any key to show the boot menu [20:35] Tachyon_, from there you can force some startup options.... I think it's with the F6 key [20:36] bprompt: I have values set to 65k in /etc/security/limits.conf already too, any other ideas why it's saying I've hit the file limit? [20:36] what options should I force ? [20:36] Tachyon_, VESA [20:37] will be it ok with a dual-boot with windows using this VESA ? [20:37] Tachyon_, nvidia cards can be a pain to get running until you have the drivers installed [20:37] damn my gtx 970 [20:37] cuddylier: hmmm dunno that one [20:37] Tachyon_, yeah, dual boot won't be affected [20:38] Tachyon_, please watch your language here, keep this channel family frienndly, thanks [20:38] ok, thank you, I will try tomorrow [20:38] ok, sorry [20:38] Tachyon_, VESA is only temporayr till you can install the right drivers [20:38] I'm sorry for my language [20:39] I don't even consider that world a non-friendly word , sorry :D [20:39] carry on :-) [20:39] Thanks, psyno, I will try [20:40] and I will probably never come back in this irc if works :D :))) [20:40] Tachyon_, np, don't worray about the language... you should hear me rant about nvidia hehe [20:40] now THAT'S not family friendly [20:41] test [20:42] I have a really annoying problem with my copy of 15.04 64-bit. I can see I'm connected to the internet, but will randomly get DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET errors and won't be able to reach any internet pages unless I unplug my router or reconnect to the network. lshw information for my router: https://bpaste.net/raw/c0947a47417b (It's an N300 USB router) [20:42] good night guys [20:43] 32 bit ubuntu installation showing high I/O wait in top after upgrading to 24GB RAN, although the 64bit distro I dualboot on the same SATA drive (ext4 on all partitions) has no issues, any taker? [20:43] hi all [20:44] more precisly, tar and apt-get (while reading package list) show high I/O wait [20:44] precisely* [20:44] Sorry, my connection died again and webchat stopped working [20:46] i was hoping somebody could help? i've done step by step on https://raymii.org/s/tutorials/SAMBA_Share_with_Active_Directory_Login_on_Ubuntu_12.04.html , but it still won't link with AD (i'm getting a key from kinit).. but when doing a wbinfo -u it only shows local users... =( [20:47] my hunch is that memory caching is acting up... swappiness set to 20, vfs_cache_pressure set to 50, reverting them back to the default 100 doesn't help [20:48] If on choosing "install ubuntu" and then it outputs alot of stuff involving noveau then splash screen then reboots pc and I get the grub2 menu again to choose "install" and outputs the same stuff but works [20:48] What does that mean? [20:48] it means you bought the wrong video card :P [20:48] j/k [20:49] well, not really, but to the point... nouveau is the free driver for nvidia card [20:49] s [20:49] Ahhhh probably because of that bug [20:49] your card might not be 100% supported by nouveau [20:49] test [20:50] Psyno I'll tell you what I think is the cause [20:51] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-drivers-common/+bug/1492873 [20:51] Launchpad bug 1492873 in ubuntu-drivers-common (Ubuntu) "nvidiadetector.py: neglects to match on class code 0302 3D Controller" [High,Triaged] [20:51] That may be it [20:51] could be [20:52] Can I change the script on the LiveCD itself? [20:53] hey [20:53] anybody have some free time? i'm also willing to pay for your time... just want to get this done :( [20:53] I need help installing ubuntu [20:53] TangiGaming: Which kind of help? [20:53] well [20:54] when I try to boot up on it i select try ubuntu [20:54] then it goes black and loads windows [20:55] and when I installed ubuntu on windows itself when I boot to it it gives me a partition table error [20:57] what do I do [20:57] hi all. I was wondering if someone could help me figure out how to get afp_client to connect to an afp share. [20:57] I'm pretty sure I'm using it correctly but I keep getting the error "Could not resolve afp. [20:57] " [20:57] Does anyone know what may cause that? [20:58] still looking for help loading imap i did apt-get install php5-imap but it doesnt seem to load ? [20:58] AbdoTGM50, you can force VESA from th CD boot screen [20:58] I can do what? [20:58] TangiGaming: You cannot install Ubuntu on Windows itself- [20:58] ya xD i know now [20:59] bekks vm ? === gary is now known as Guest30859 [20:59] scatterp-: Thats not "on itself", but yes. [20:59] TangiGaming: You cannot have done that, because it isnt possible, and there is no option to do so. :) [21:00] no i mean i installed wubi [21:00] without booting to it [21:00] but forget about that part [21:00] AbdoTGM50, I don't remember the exact steps, a web search might help you "force vesa ubuntu" [21:00] What is vesa? [21:01] Ahh ill just Google it XD [21:01] wubi will still be on the next ubuntu, but wubi is unmaintaned, and very hard to fix when something goes wrong ... drop wubi please [21:01] !wubi | TangiGaming [21:01] TangiGaming: Wubi was a way to install Ubuntu from within Windows, but it is no longer supported in recent versions of Ubuntu and was never well maintained even for Ubuntu 12.04. Do not use Wubi. See !install for other options for installing Ubuntu. [21:01] i was hoping somebody could help? i've done step by step on https://raymii.org/s/tutorials/SAMBA_Share_with_Active_Directory_Login_on_Ubuntu_12.04.html , but it still won't link with AD (i'm getting a key from kinit).. but when doing a wbinfo -u it only shows local users... =( === notafadss is now known as notafads [21:02] can someone give me the link to the latest version of ubunto desktop and not wubi [21:02] TangiGaming: it's the same iso [21:02] TangiGaming, you should have the latest already, no? [21:03] you just boot the live installer instead of clicking on wubi [21:03] yea i downloaded ubuntu desktop 15.04 iso [21:03] i tried that [21:03] TangiGaming: put it on a usb and let the pc boot it [21:03] TangiGaming: Then you have everything you need. Just dont use wubi. [21:03] i tried that [21:03] TangiGaming: No, you tried wubi, as you said. [21:04] when i try to boot from it I select try ubuntu without installing [21:04] and the wubi was a difff story [21:04] and [21:04] TangiGaming: Then select install instead. [21:04] it goes black with a blinking - [21:04] TangiGaming, easy on the enter please. [21:04] and then it boots windoews [21:04] i tried that too [21:04] same thing [21:05] TangiGaming: try booting with nomodeset [21:05] how do i use that and get it? [21:05] are you using uefi? [21:05] and what is it xD [21:05] !nomodeset { TangiGaming [21:05] bekks: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:05] !nomodeset | TangiGaming [21:05] TangiGaming: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [21:06] TangiGaming: do you get a graphic try ubuntu or a black and white menu? [21:06] black and white [21:07] ok, press c over try ubuntu, then at the line that says linux /vmlinuz.efi .... add nomodeset before the end and press ctrl+x [21:07] sorry, press e over try ubuntu [21:07] how do i add nomodeset [21:07] type it [21:08] and i do have nvidia cards btw so it should be the problem [21:08] TangiGaming: Did you even read what ubottu just told you? [21:08] give me a break im 14 [21:09] so just type nomodeset [21:10] ? [21:10] TangiGaming: you have to add it to the kernel command line, as the link explains and provides examples for [21:10] TangiGaming, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 [21:13] PsynoKhi1 I google it but I dont think it would work. The system doesn't even know the nvidia drivers work for my card it doesn't even aknowledge its existence outside lspci [21:13] so exactly what code do i type im confused [21:14] nvm [21:14] im going to try it [21:14] xD [21:14] Is there any possible way to copy files to a read only file system? [21:14] probably will be back [21:14] bobbd: No. [21:15] bekks: Ahh.. I need to add firmware to installation media, but the usb with the media on it seems to be read only [21:15] bobbd: Yes, it is readonly. You need to customize your installation medium and create a new one. [21:16] bekks: Oh, okay. How should i do this? [21:19] bekks: Oh i see what you mean. Add it to the iso image before writing to usb [21:19] bekks: Thank you [21:20] bobbd: Yes. [21:21] I would place it on the persistence part, it is an option when creating a live usb === jbasalone is now known as jbasalone-away === jbasalone-away is now known as jbasalone [21:23] OerHeks: Im not sure what you mean. I use dd to make installation media [21:23] bobbd, then you have no persistense part to write data to. [21:28] bobbd: the installation iso, if written raw, like say, using "dd", would not include a "persistent storage" area, you could install "usb-creator-gtk", to make burn the iso to a usb stick, and at the bottom, it has a section for "persistent storage" area, it says hmm "stored in reserved extra space", that'd make a persistent storage in the installation system, and that means you can install packages to it, and they'd persist afte [21:28] Oh crap it froze on restart system XD [21:29] bobbd: and you can set the persistent storage, to however big, depending on how big your usb stick is, usb-creator-gtk has a slider to increase/decrease set it [21:35] I got sent an Image PDF of a document, is there any tool that can convert that to an ediable PDF? [21:35] No. [21:35] yea [21:36] i cant do it [21:36] btw i had to press tab to edit [21:36] not e [21:36] Murdoch5: You can try OCR (optical character recognition), but I wouldn't expect good results, especially if it's a low quality image. [21:36] bekks [21:37] Ya, it's a horrible quality document [21:37] kk [21:38] Jordan_U: I've gone that way previously trying to do the exact same thing they are trying to do, not worth it. You spend less time just rewriting the one that's an image into a text file instead manually [21:38] Murdoch5 fiverr.com :) [21:39] can any one help with setting up php5-imap when i do php5enmod imap it gives a warning saying that imap ini doesnt exist when i do locate it does ?

[23:02] <_SLM_> when I do ctrl-alt-f1 [23:02] <_SLM_> and try to login to my account [23:02] <_SLM_> it says password incorrect [23:02] <_SLM_> but the password is correct [23:03] _SLM_ don't abuse the enter key, it has rights too [23:03] <_SLM_> alright [23:04] <_SLM_> actually, it says ´login incorrect´ ... not sure how to proceed here... [23:04] _SLM_, what exactly did you do before this trouble started? [23:05] <_SLM_> I installed a few graphics-related apps for work and installed the nvidea gpu driver [23:05] _SLM_, how did you install that gpu driver, from the driver menu or the nvidia site? === d9k_ is now known as d9kd9k [23:05] <_SLM_> from the driver menu === Liam- is now known as Liam` [23:06] Is there any way to play a sound every time a line is shown on terminal emulator? [23:07] Knight80: What is your end goal? [23:07] <_SLM_> The Extra Drivers menu, I choose nvidea-340-updates [23:08] <_SLM_> It says ¨1 not-free driver in use¨ (translated, my Ubuntu is in my own language) [23:08] Jordan_U To make it let me know that it's "working" [23:09] Knight80: So you have long running commands that output every once and a while to show their progress? [23:09] Jordan_U For example, when I do 'sudo apt-get update' [23:09] Just to make it cooler [23:10] Knight80: I think you would need to make your own wrapper that does this. [23:10] Jordan_U I suppose you're right... [23:11] Knight80: Simply a the shell 'bell' control-code to the PS1 prompt so each time it returns the bell rings [23:11] <_SLM_> OerHeks? [23:11] <_SLM_> Anyone? Hello? [23:11] s/a the/add the/ [23:11] TJ- Excuse me? [23:11] TJ-: That would only tell you when the command finishes, not tell you when it prints more output. [23:12] _SLM_, an incorrect password error means the password is incorrect or the username does not exist [23:12] _SLM_, could be a typo, keyboard problem, or the obvious [23:12] Jordan_U: Without a custom pipe that's the easiest way to get in indication of it being 'back' [23:13] That's what I did with X-Chat, every time a line is printed, it plays a sound [23:13] And I would like to do the same with terminal emulator. [23:14] <_SLM_> mtn, I dont think the issue is really the password, when I try to login to the account in the usual way the screen goes into a fullscreen terminal for a few seconds before throwing me back to the login screen. It feels like a bad setting/driver/software is causing me to not be able to login to my account [23:14] _SLM_, did you not say login from the command line failed, too? [23:14] <_SLM_> The bad login error is in the ctrl-alt-f1 terminal.. no idea what the issue is there [23:14] <_SLM_> I think they´re unrelated tbh.. [23:14] <_SLM_> two seperate errors [23:15] Knight80: The "beep" command has a feature specifically for this: sudo apt-get update | beep -s [23:15] <_SLM_> A bad login on ubuntu´s normal login screen should give a normal red-bold text saying bad login [23:15] _SLM_, well, the bad password error is obvious, as I just said. it is a real problem [23:16] <_SLM_> I defintely did not change my password... [23:16] Jordan_U Thank you :) [23:16] Knight80: You should ensure that "beep" alone actually produces a beep for you first. You may need to enable your pcspkr. [23:17] _SLM_: The bas password error is related, since it prevents you from login in. [23:18] Jordan_U Doesn't it work with an audio file? [23:18] Knight80: 'beep' only drives the PC internal speaker, if it has one, not the audio outupts [23:18] Knight80: No, it tries to use your computers' pcspkr (the tiny little speaker that sometimes beeps when you boot). [23:18] _SLM_: Can you get to the recovery console from grub, and verity ownership of files in your /home ? ' ls -al /home ; ls -al /home/ ' . Maybe in all the aps added 'root' now owns /home . [23:19] Thank you very much indeed [23:19] <_SLM_> How exactly do I get to a grub? [23:19] <_SLM_> *-a [23:21] _SLM_: UEFI system ? the method to activate the grub boot menu differs. [23:23] <_SLM_> I opened recovery console [23:23] <_SLM_> what should I do from here? [23:25] <_SLM_> I think I verified the ownership [23:26] _SLM_: Termianl command 'ls -al /home ; ls -al /home . Do you own all the files ? [23:26] <_SLM_> yes [23:26] <_SLM_> /home/username is owned by username [23:26] <_SLM_> /home by root [23:26] !nomodeset " _SLM_ Then try this: [23:26] Bashing-om: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:26] _SLM_: check this one specifically "ls -l ~/.Xauthority" [23:26] !nomodeset | _SLM_ Then try this: [23:26] _SLM_ Then try this:: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [23:27] <_SLM_> (I also think I see why I couldn´t login before, username is lowercase) [23:28] <_SLM_> zykotick9 that file does not exist [23:28] <_SLM_> Bashing-om trying [23:28] _SLM_: oh ~ might be an issue! sorry. try "ls -l /home/YOURUSERNAME/.Xauthority" [23:30] _SLM_: if it's owner or group is set to "root" it can cause a problem with login, if it says you're username twice = you're all good. [23:30] s/you're/your/ [23:31] <_SLM_> it says username twice [23:31] _SLM_: cool, just checkin'. best of luck! [23:31] <_SLM_> thanks for the suggestion [23:31] <_SLM_> and the help [23:32] <_SLM_> looking into nomodeset, that tutorial is very unclear to me [23:32] hello unity greeter has no avatar option so i changed the default png file in the schema to one thats got my avatar on it and recompiled the schemas and rebooted and it works :-) one prob though, im using hdmi and vga together and my login screen on vga always changes when hdmi is connected and it shows my png file but with an ubuntu icon right in the middle of it. How can i get rid of the icon? is there a different sc [23:32] hema file i should edit? i already tried setting the icon prefs to false in my com.canonical.unity-greeter.gschema.xml file and it makes no difference, help ! :-) [23:32] _SLM_: can you login into ctrl+alt+fx now, with the lowercase username? [23:33] <_SLM_> what should I do in ctrl-alt-fx? ¨A common one is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot in to a black screen or corrupted splash¨ this sounds like exactly the problem I have [23:34] <_SLM_> I typed nomodeset in the recovery terminal hoping for a one-button-miracle, but that didnt seem to be a option [23:34] _SLM_: if it was a modeset issue you wouldn't be able to boot at all really, the kernel stops almost right away if that's an issue. can't you get to your Login screen both GUI and terminal right now? [23:35] <_SLM_> Ill try, one sec [23:35] my ubuntu 14 no longer functions to watch you tube or live leak, shockwave flash 11 has been disabled remotely and shockwave flash 13 wont work at all, how do I fix this issue? thanks [23:36] _SLM_: zykotick9's advise to try to login from console is the easier to check/do . Then we can try the 'nomodeset' boot parameter . [23:37] <_SLM_> Thanks for the help guys, I really really appreciate it. Without this channel I honestly wouldn´t have dared to use Ubuntu for my work environment, since I understand issues like these are a bit of a risk that you need to accept with linux [23:38] <_SLM_> Anyway, trying now [23:38] Bashing-om: actually, you can certainly try nomodeset... but it certainly doesn't sound to _me only_ a nomodeset issue, if they can get to lightdm/gdm/whatever OR a VT... YMMV [23:38] alistair: I don't know if this applies equally to Ubuntu as it does to arch, but it sounds more correct than the method you're describing: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LightDM#The_AccountsService_way [23:39] <_SLM_> the ctrl-alt-f1 login worked [23:39] <_SLM_> with lowercase username [23:42] <_SLM_> so... how do I proceed now? [23:42] <_SLM_> that check passed, I can login with ctrl-alt-f1 [23:42] I installed google chrome from ubuntu software center. fixed everything [23:44] <_SLM_> I assume nomodeset is the solution then [23:45] _SLM_: In debugging never assume unless you want to waste effort and time === The_Acid_Toyz is now known as Neytiri [23:45] _SLM_: There are copious logs captured in Linux, and they'll usually provide evidence of the true problem [23:46] _SLM_: if you want to try nomodeset, try getting back to the grub screen, then edit the booting kernel line... if it works, then you can modify /etc/default/grub to make the change permanent. [23:48] <_SLM_> TJ- Okay. Should mention that I am a complete linux noob: don´t know where those logs are and lack the experience to read the errors and go ¨ah, off course, I should ...¨ :) [23:48] _SLM_: also, you can confirm/deny the setting is working by checking "cat /proc/cmdline" and see if it lists nomodeset [23:48] <_SLM_> zykotick9 okay [23:49] * zykotick9 still doesn't think it's a nomodeset issue if you can use/access the system... [23:49] _SLM_: You're currently using the Recovery boot option? [23:49] TJ-: user login sould work from Recovery... should it? [23:49] s/should/shouldn't/ sorry [23:50] zykotick9: depends on which stage _SLM_ is at; if at the root shell, no. If 'resumed normal boot' then yes [23:50] <_SLM_> zykotick9, other suggestions more then welcome :) Checked: It lists nomodeset [23:50] TJ-: ummm, interesting. [23:50] <_SLM_> TJ- currently at ctrl-alt-f1 terminal [23:50] _SLM_: 'nomodeset' will *prevent* the Unity 3D acceleration from working, resulting in the GUI log-in failing and returning to the greeter [23:51] _SLM_: OK, was that from a regular boot, or from the GRUB menu's Advanced > Recovery option? [23:51] _SLM_: Do "grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log" [23:52] _SLM_: if you see any reports of the form 'unable to open' about '/dev/dri/card0' nomodeset is the likely culprit [23:52] hi I went in to install a 32 bit ubuntu and the setup menu forced me to deal with partitions. I want to use no partitions, just a clean install. I fooled with the partitions, couldn't get it right. now I can't get back to the install ubuntu env. what can I do from bios to force it to boot from the usb? [23:52] probably all he has to do is type his username correctly in the login window [23:52] he had it wrong, after all [23:53] mtn: No. If that was the problem the greeter puts up a warning message. [23:53] n_blownapart: A clean install uses partitions, as well. [23:53] if you say so. not sure his reporting correctly, but ok [23:53] mtn: _SLM_ already said the password problem was a Caps/lowercase issue he solved [23:54] TJ-, and did he fix it in the login window and test it? I didn't see that [23:54] <_SLM_> TJ- Did "grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log" I see different errors, ncluding at the last line: Compatible NVIDEA X driver not found [23:54] bekks: I have the usb first in the boot order. all I get is a blinking cursor. can I force it? (two weeks ago I did this no problem with no partition setup) [23:54] <_SLM_> Not the unable to open dev/dri/card0 [23:54] n_blownapart: Can you force what? [23:55] _SLM_: OK. Reboot, hold down shift until you have the GRUB boot menu. highlight the "Ubuntu" entry, press 'e' to edit it. Navigate to the line beginning 'linux ...' then delete 'nomodeset' from it. Press Ctrl+X or F10 to boot the modified entry [23:56] <_SLM_> mtn the login window allows me to select my username, so the lowercase issue shouldnt be a problem since the OS basicly typed the username for me [23:56] _SLM_: Also, before you reboot, try also... [23:56] I was getting the ubuntu install / try out desktop, now nothing. how do I get the machine to boot from the +usb (first in boot order)? it could be I screwed up the partition though it wouldn't let me set the partitions. [23:56] _SLM_: "grep WW /var/log/Xorg.0.log" for the WWarnings not the EErors [23:56] bekks: ^ [23:57] i.e the machine won't recognize / boot from the usb. [23:57] n_blownapart: sounds like you could have overwritten the USB [23:57] TJ-: hmm that is possible do you think? [23:57] n_blownapart: Partitioning is *not* optional in the installer. If you don't know how to do allow the Guided Partitioning to set it up [23:59] TJ-: it asked me to make partitions.. change button, etc. last time I did a nice install with none of that. [23:59] n_blownapart: was there already other operating systems on the target disk? [23:59] It's a refurbished older ibm lenovo. I don't think so. TJ-
