| _SLM_ | TJ- I did ¨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 ...' and then I stopped because nomodeset is not there | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| n_blownapart | TJ-: maybe I'll just burn another image on the usb. thanks. | 00:01 |
| TJ- | n_blownapart: It's a long time since I used the installer, but I recall at the Partitioning stage there's a basic set of choices offered, amongst which is the Guided option, as well as a Manual option for advanced requirements. The Guided option will offer choices if the disk has existing partitions taking up (all) space | 00:01 |
| n_blownapart | TJ-: many thanks .. trying again. | 00:03 |
| n_blownapart | thanks bekks | 00:03 |
| abb0 | is 15.04 any less stable atm than the lts | 00:04 |
| abb0 | just curious even if its opinion only | 00:04 |
| _SLM_ | Should I maybe add nomodeset TJ-? Since it is not there | 00:05 |
| abb0 | nobody? | 00:05 |
| === jack is now known as Guest96458 | ||
| OerHeks | abb0, both are pretty stable, why ? | 00:06 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: does the problem PC have Internet connectivity so it can pastebin the log(s) ? | 00:06 |
| _SLM_ | it has internet connection.. assuming it works within login | 00:06 |
| _SLM_ | *without | 00:06 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: test it: "ping -nc 5 8.8.8.8" | 00:07 |
| abb0 | well was thinking of going ahead and installing 15.04 since ive been runnin the lts for the last few months | 00:08 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: if you've logged-in on a VT console (Ctrl+Alt+F1 == tty1) then you're logged in. GUI isn't required. | 00:08 |
| abb0 | i usually just stick to lts releases | 00:08 |
| TJ- | abb0: Stick :) | 00:08 |
| TJ- | abb0: 15.04 is the first release with systemd init system. | 00:09 |
| abb0 | thats no big deal to an end user really tho right | 00:09 |
| abb0 | few themes i hate that wont work with 14.04 b/c of the older gtk or w/e | 00:09 |
| TJ- | abb0: Errr... depends if you want everything to still just work. | 00:09 |
| abb0 | ;/ | 00:09 |
| OerHeks | Yeah, themes are really a decision breaker | 00:10 |
| TJ- | abb0: Transistion from Upstart to Systemd is still ongoing on 15.10 (in development). | 00:10 |
| TJ- | :D | 00:10 |
| abb0 | alrighty | 00:10 |
| abb0 | so a theme isnt worth upgrading if stability is what i truely want. although 15.04 isnt unstable per say its not gonna be as solid as the lts | 00:11 |
| abb0 | basically | 00:11 |
| TJ- | abb0: I'm on 15.10 and got a pile of regression bugs still to work out for boot-time/init-time regressions | 00:11 |
| _SLM_ | TJ- 100% packet loss | 00:12 |
| TJ- | abb0: That's the theory; but there is also a reason we do major transitions in non-LTS releases - to provoke and work out the bugs | 00:12 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: does the PC use Wifi to connect? | 00:12 |
| _SLM_ | LAN cable | 00:12 |
| _SLM_ | directly to router | 00:12 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: type "nmcli con" that will report all the NetworkManager connections | 00:13 |
| _SLM_ | It does | 00:14 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: _SLM_ then type "nmcli con show --active" to see if one of the connections is claimed to be active or not. If no connection is listed as active, we can bring it 'up' (make it active) | 00:14 |
| _SLM_ | the timestamp of wired connection 1 is a few minutes ago | 00:14 |
| Jordan_U | TJ-: I'm curious. Would you mind posting the links to the bugs you're talking about? | 00:15 |
| TJ- | Jordan_U: Too many for that! | 00:15 |
| _SLM_ | TJ- that command is incorrect | 00:15 |
| _SLM_ | it lists list, status, up, down and delete | 00:16 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: ahhh, you've probably got an older version of nmcli; they changed the nmcli commands in 15.10 | 00:16 |
| _SLM_ | okay | 00:16 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: OK, let's check the interfaces. Easiest/most readable is "ifconfig" | 00:17 |
| _SLM_ | done | 00:18 |
| _SLM_ | what is important to tell you here | 00:18 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: If one of the interfaces is UP and has an 'inet addr' then it should be connected | 00:18 |

| TJ- | _SLM_: do either have IP addresses though? | 00:19 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: s/either/both/ | 00:19 |
| _SLM_ | the ip of my router | 00:19 |
| _SLM_ | in eth0 | 00:20 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: right... can you ping it "ping -nc 5 <ip-address>" ? | 00:20 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: if you're able to ping it, the connection issue must be routing, which we can check/fix | 00:20 |
| _SLM_ | it asks if I wanted to ping broadcast, choose yes, then 100% packet loss | 00:21 |
| _SLM_ | my bad | 00:22 |
| _SLM_ | pinged the wrong one I think | 00:22 |
| _SLM_ | I pinged inet | 00:22 |
| _SLM_ | it worked | 00:22 |
| _SLM_ | ´inet addr´ I pinged and worked | 00:23 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: Phew! :) ... now check for a default route: "ip route show" ... there should be a line 'default via <router-ip-address>' | 00:23 |
| _SLM_ | yep | 00:23 |
| _SLM_ | inet addr ends at .11 | 00:24 |
| _SLM_ | defaults via ends at .1 | 00:24 |
| _SLM_ | 192.168.178.1 | 00:24 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: now do "ping -nc 5 192.168.178.1" | 00:25 |
| _SLM_ | worked | 00:25 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: now try the "ping -nc 5 8.8.8.8" again. That is it a Google DNS server. If the PC has internet connectivity that has to work | 00:25 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: (unless the router/gateway firewall blocks ICMP pings) | 00:26 |
| _SLM_ | 100% packet loss again | 00:26 |
| _SLM_ | before you wonder, both pcs are connected to the same router | 00:26 |
| nug700 | why isn't "alt + PrtSc" taking screenshot on ubuntu 15.04? | 00:26 |
| _SLM_ | (this one and the problem one) | 00:26 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: OK, so you have an issue on the router/gateway it seems, it isn't forwarding packets from that PC, or it isn't returning the responses. | 00:27 |
| _SLM_ | so router has internet | 00:27 |
| nug700 | or any screenshot shortcut | 00:27 |
| _SLM_ | Internet worked before TJ- when I could login to my account | 00:28 |
| OerHeks | nug700, just 'prtscrn' does the job | 00:28 |
| _SLM_ | So pastebin doesnt seem to be a option atm unfortunately | 00:28 |

| TJ- | _SLM_: I'm monitoring for pings on my server, please do (no-one else, please!) "ping -nc 5 109.74.197.121" | 00:28 |
| _SLM_ | ok | 00:28 |
| nug700 | it is not | 00:28 |
| OerHeks | nug700, on what ubuntu version ? | 00:29 |
| _SLM_ | TJ- worked | 00:29 |
| nug700 | prtscn takes the whole desktop, and alt+prtscrn does current windows, btw | 00:29 |
| nug700 | 15.04 | 00:29 |
| scatterp- | 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 ? | 00:29 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: OK, I saw 5 pings from a Ziggo Internet customer, was that you? | 00:29 |
| Egyptian | i got a machine that is newly provisioned, it is on a proxy and an internal dns. when i do dig www.gmail.com the dns responds but when i do curl http://www.gmail.com it says curl: (6) Could not resolve host: www.gmail.com and then on the 2nd try it says curl: (7) Failed to connect to www.gmail.com port 443: Connection timed out .. any ideas? | 00:30 |
| _SLM_ | yep | 00:30 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: Right. did your ping show responses? | 00:30 |
| _SLM_ | yes | 00:30 |
| OerHeks | nug700, both options works here. not sure why it does not for you. | 00:30 |
| _SLM_ | maybe I simply cant ping google´s dns | 00:30 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: OK, so the usually perfect Google 8.8.8.8 test was actually blocked for you! | 00:30 |
| _SLM_ | weird, but okay | 00:31 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: but now we've gone the long winded way to prove you can use pastebinit :D ! | 00:31 |
| _SLM_ | :) | 00:31 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" | 00:31 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: possibly you'll need "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" | 00:31 |
| abb0 | is there a way to get GTK 3.14 in 14.04 | 00:32 |
| TJ- | Egyptian: when you do "dig www.gmail.com" does the response include an ANSWER section with an A record? | 00:32 |
| abb0 | or is that a component you just cant update that simply | 00:32 |
| abb0 | and whats up with this thing with everytime i put a dvd in to bunr something it says unable to mount dvd drive already mounted | 00:33 |

| TJ- | _SLM_: thanks; looking now | 00:41 |
| JeanMV | Bashing-om: once in the system you told me to enter a comand whic gave me a URL http://paste.ubuntu.com/12317953/ | 00:41 |

| JeanMV | Bashing-om: i can't boot and dont recall how we boot last time | 00:46 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: but with the Xorg log-file *any* (EE) error message usually means trouble, so we need to focus on those to find out if they are just 'noise' or the fundamental problem. | 00:46 |
| _SLM_ | TJ- http://paste.ubuntu.com/12354173/ | 00:47 |

| _SLM_ | I am on Ubuntu latest LTS | 00:48 |
| JeanMV | Bashing-om: awesome | 00:49 |
| _SLM_ | Trusty I think it´s called | 00:49 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: it affects 14.04.3 too - you have the updated kernel and Xorg stack | 00:49 |
| JeanMV | Bashing-om: can't boot, what should i do? I get stuck at "Startint Light Display Manager..." | 00:49 |
| _SLM_ | I see... so, what do I do? It was all working fine 3 hours ago | 00:49 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: don't focus on bug titles so much as the details they report, which match exactly the errors in your Xorg log file | 00:49 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: it appears some package upgrade has caused this. There's a workaround in comment #2 of that bug you should try | 00:50 |
| _SLM_ | can I remove the faulty driver and return to the old default? | 00:50 |
| _SLM_ | ok | 00:50 |

| _SLM_ | so.. currently nvidea is turned off, and I am running on my cpu driver for display | 00:54 |
| _SLM_ | Was this the case before is it worth trying the X.org driver in the drivers menu | 00:54 |
| Bashing-om | JeanMV: Need to get you to a terminal (still) .. Can you get to the login screen, and if so what results with key combo ctl+alt+F1 ? | 00:55 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: comment 26 of that last bug is VERY interesting. It suggests the problem is a bad "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" generated by nvidia-settings | 00:55 |
| _SLM_ | I see :o | 00:55 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: Please "pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" | 00:55 |
| _SLM_ | will do | 00:55 |
| JeanMV | Bashing-om: i tried to apply what i remember of our last session | 00:55 |
| JeanMV | Bashing-om: but get stuck | 00:55 |
| JeanMV | Bashing-om: could you please give me instructions to boot to a terminal | 00:56 |
| JeanMV | Bashing-om: with access to network | 00:56 |
| Bashing-om | JeanMV: let's backup and start all over. We need a terminal . can you get to a console from ctl+alt+F1 ? | 00:56 |
| _SLM_ | TJ- that file does not exist, so since I am now in my GUI session I opened Nautilus and browsed there, I see xorg.conf.09122015 | 00:57 |
| _SLM_ | Do you want that instead? | 00:57 |
| Abe | Hi I have a Problem with the KDE desktop... I use my laptop more like a stationary over vga with keyboard and mouse connected... well everytime I switch just back to laptop the cpu runs very high and games i.e. are very laggy and in the wrong resulution :/ any idea what it could be... So basically it got so used to be stationary I think idk I't doesn't like to switch back to ""Laptop Mode"" ? | 00:58 |
| Bashing-om | JeanMV: "with access to network" rings my bell .. I have yet to figure out how to activate a terminal from 15.04's rescue mode ! . | 00:58 |
| _SLM_ | ¨/etc/X11/xorg.conf¨ does not exist | 00:58 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: comment 33 is also confirmed as a workaround - putting the laptop into Suspend mode and Resuming (closing the lid when on battery) | 00:58 |
| Abe | yes I did try to change the resolution | 00:59 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: OK, so it is using an auto-calculated setting. Whilst you have it working in the GUI, launch the 'nvidia X Server Settings' application, and get it to save an xorg.conf by choosing the "X Server Display Configuration" tab, ensuring it is configured to your liking, and pressing the "Save to X Configuration file" button | 01:01 |
| TJ- | Bashing-om: "/sbin/getty -8 38400 ttyX &" (replace X) | 01:02 |
| JeanMV | Bashing-om: so now, i'm doing a regular boot, and get stuck at "starting Create Static Device Nodes in /dev.. with any system changes.. p link was shut down....." | 01:02 |
| _SLM_ | It wants to save a .nvidea-settings-rc file TJ- | 01:03 |
| TJ- | Bashing-om: 2 <= X <= 7 | 01:03 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: OK | 01:03 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: in *theory* by saving the currently working configuration, when you next log-in, it should use that rather than trying to 'guess' the correct config. That *may* allow the nvidia GPU to be used. Right now you're limited to the integrated Intel GPU | 01:04 |
| _SLM_ | I opened that config file, it´s useless | 01:05 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: did it also write "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" ? | 01:05 |
| _SLM_ | no | 01:06 |
| _SLM_ | But /etc/X11/xorg.conf.09122015 exists | 01:06 |

What results ? | 01:14 |
| _SLM_ | TJ- so what do I do? Rename and restart? | 01:14 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.09122015 /etc/X11/xorg.conf" then log-out from GUI and try log-in again. If it fails, Ctrl+Alt+F1, and "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" | 01:14 |
| easyOnMe | hello | 01:14 |
| easyOnMe | I got some message here tellng me that my ubuntu has encountered some internal problems | 01:15 |
| easyOnMe | this has been happening everytime I boot up and it has only started to happen only this month | 01:15 |
| rejesalat | @easyOnMe where do you get the error message | 01:15 |
| easyOnMe | I tried reporting the problem and tried update and upgrade the problem still persist | 01:15 |
| easyOnMe | from the laptop | 01:15 |
| easyOnMe | rejesalat: everything I boot up I get this error message | 01:16 |
| TJ- | easyOnMe: You mean when you log-in to the GUI a dialog pops up | 01:16 |
| TJ- | easyOnMe: It is caused by some process having crashed during the previous session and saving a 'crash file'. That dialog is the crash-reporting system wanting to report the problem. | 01:16 |
| rejesalat | @easyOnMe do you get a popup in the gui with a error? if so it's probably the apport feature which can be turned off | 01:17 |
| easyOnMe | this is the message that I get http://imgur.com/krpmyiB | 01:17 |
| TJ- | easyOnMe: You can check if there are more reports with "ls -al /var/crash/" | 01:18 |
| rejesalat | @easyOnMe that is apport you can turn it off (if everything is working) | 01:18 |
| _SLM_ | TJ- It failed. paste.ubuntu.com/12355087 | 01:18 |
| rejesalat | @easyOnMe sudo -i gedit /etc/default/apport then change enabled=1 to enabled=0 | 01:18 |
| easyOnMe | rejesalat: but I think I better address the issue because before I encountered this problem after I report it and do some frequent sudo apt-get update and upgrade routines the problem goes away | 01:19 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: OK... check if it has been renamed "ls -l /etc/X11/" | 01:19 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: then use the manual workaround of switching to the Intel, and log-in at GUI again | 01:19 |
| _SLM_ | It hasnt been renamed | 01:20 |
| mikubuntu | bloop are you handy by any chance? blender 2.75 not working again -- crashes on startup :( | 01:20 |
| easyOnMe | rejesalat: is your suggestion the real solution or is there a way to really find out the real cause of the problem rather than disabling the reporting mechanism | 01:20 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: I wonder if we can simply alter it for now, hang on | 01:20 |
| easyOnMe | I believe this is default by ubuntu to report in order to alert the user | 01:20 |
| rejesalat | @easyOnMe try sending me a imgur link with Show Details so i can see the actual error | 01:21 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: are you familiar with a command-line text editor, to make a small change to xorg.conf | 01:21 |
| _SLM_ | I am not, but I´ll try | 01:21 |
| easyOnMe | rejesalat: how will I do that please intruct me | 01:21 |
| _SLM_ | I can also login to GUI as you said | 01:21 |
| easyOnMe | instruct me | 01:21 |
| _SLM_ | with that switch-to-intel workaround | 01:21 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: it won't log-in whilst xorg.conf is still there, I don't think, since it tries to activate the nvidia | 01:22 |
| rejesalat | @easyOnMe honestly i don't know if its just me or everybody but even on a clean install i get the "Ubuntu has expierenced an internal error" so i usually turn it off and i don't have any problems at all | 01:22 |
| easyOnMe | TJ-: let me just complete my sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade routines | 01:22 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: Try this: "sudo sed -i 's/Inactive "intel"/Inactive "nvidia"/' /etc/X11/xorg.conf" | 01:22 |
| JeanMV | Bashing-om: stuck on purple screen | 01:22 |
| JeanMV | Bashing-om: blank purple screen | 01:22 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: then check the change 'took' with "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf" - if so, try log-in at the GUI again (Ctrl+Alt+F7) | 01:23 |
| Bashing-om | JeanMV: OK, Looks like that is a invalid boot parameter then . Presently stuck . (again) . | 01:24 |
| easyOnMe | rejesalat: what is the command to automatically pastebin the result of any command using the terminal | 01:24 |
| easyOnMe | I remember it starts with apastebin but now it says invalid command | 01:24 |
| TJ- | JeanMV: Does pressing the Escape key cause the splash screen to go away and a (black) text console to show? | 01:24 |
| rejesalat | easyOnMe: you could do "pastebinit /var/log/apport.log" | 01:25 |
| easyOnMe | ok thanks | 01:25 |
| TJ- | easyOnMe: " <command> &| pastebinit" | 01:25 |
| TJ- | easyOnMe: typo! " <command> |& pastebinit" | 01:25 |
| JeanMV | TJ-: esc does nothing, at which point should i press it? | 01:25 |
| TJ- | JeanMV: When Plymouth shows the splash screen during start-up, if it hasn't crashed it watches for the Escape key and toggles the splash screen on/off when you press it. If you're not getting that behaviour it suggests a 'hard' crash/lock-up | 01:26 |
| easyOnMe | TJ-: alright this is the result of the command ls -al /var/crash/ | 01:26 |
| easyOnMe | http://imgur.com/krpmyiB | 01:26 |
| easyOnMe | rejesalat: this is the result http://imgur.com/krpmyiB | 01:27 |
| _SLM_ | What change should have ´took´ TJ-? I have done the sed and cat command, what should I look for in cat? | 01:27 |
| rejesalat | easyOnMe: that's the same link as the first one? | 01:27 |
| TJ- | JeanMV: in which case reboot, hold down Shift to get the GRUB boot menu, choose Advanced, then the topmost "Recovery" option. | 01:27 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: you should see Inactive "nvidia" now | 01:28 |
| easyOnMe | sorry here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/12355295/ | 01:28 |
| _SLM_ | I do | 01:28 |
| easyOnMe | TJ-: any ideas | 01:28 |
| TJ- | easyOnMe: the crash report names show which packages crashed - apache web server, and teamviewer. | 01:29 |
| easyOnMe | rejesalat: any ideas | 01:29 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: OK, continue to the GUI and try to log-in | 01:29 |
| easyOnMe | rejesalat: /var/log |& pastebinit | 01:30 |
| easyOnMe | http://paste.ubuntu.com/12355416/ | 01:30 |
| TJ- | easyOnMe: If you are repeatedly being prompted at log-in to send a report, then it looks as if for some reason that appport (the crash reporter) isn't seeing those .uploaded files | 01:30 |
| _SLM_ | I did ctrl-alt-f7 I got greeted by a scary full screen error that says The system is running in low-graphics mode. Your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You need to configure these yourself | 01:30 |
| JeanMV | TJ-: i pressed esc during splash screen, but still cant boot, so going to recovery mode | 01:30 |
| easyOnMe | TJ-: ok so what do I do now | 01:30 |
| easyOnMe | with apache web server and teamviewer | 01:30 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: Ahhh... Ctrl+Alt+F1 then "sudo service lightdm restart" to restart the display manager | 01:30 |
| TJ- | easyOnMe: If it were me I'd simply delete the file from /var/crash/ - they are of no use now. | 01:31 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: "low graphics mode" is what happens when the X server can't use the configuration it is given, and falls back to a 'fail safe' mode without any advanced GPU support or modes | 01:32 |
| _SLM_ | TJ- I did, it didnt work. The console output stop: Unknown instance: start: Job failed to start | 01:32 |
| easyOnMe | TJ-: ok I can do that but will it really address the real problem or we are just preventing the reporting mechanism to just merely stop reporting errors | 01:32 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: Grrr! check if lightdm or the X server are running: "ps -efly | egrep 'bin/(lightdm|X)' " | 01:34 |
| rejesalat | :easyOnMe i gotta agree with TJ- at this point if your not expierincing any thing not working i would simply turn off apport or remove the file from /var/crash/ yes you are just preventing the reporting mechanism however if you are not expierencing any thing wrong i wouldnt really bother | 01:34 |
| JeanMV | TJ-: i'm booting in recovery mode, and i'm being asked to choose between options... failsafeX? | 01:34 |
| OerHeks | easyOnMe, teamviewer errors are out of our hands | 01:34 |
| Jonathan_e | Hello | 01:35 |
| TJ- | easyOnMe: If you clean out the files and the issue happens again it means a new crash happened. Right now, it could be that old crash files are causing a new attempt to report the crash each log-in. Some time ago there was a bug that had that symptom - it may have come back | 01:35 |
| easyOnMe | rejesalat: I agree but how will I know whether I am not experiencing anything wrong | 01:35 |
| easyOnMe | I mean is there a way I can check that my apache web server is working as well as my teamviewer | 01:35 |
| rejesalat | easyOnMe: very simple :D If something dosen't work you will definently know and you don't need apport to tell you that | 01:35 |
| _SLM_ | TJ- it highlighted bin/X in red twice | 01:36 |
| TJ- | JeanMV: At this point maybe Bashing-om wants to jump in? I would suggest 'root shell' to begin with so the logs can be investigated. | 01:36 |
| _SLM_ | no lightdm that can I see | 01:36 |
| rejesalat | :easyOnMe and looking in /var/log/ is a good start | 01:36 |
| easyOnMe | rejesalat: you mean if either of those apps do not work I get an alert is that what you mean | 01:36 |
| easyOnMe | rejesalat: ok one moment | 01:37 |
| JeanMV | TJ-: ok thanks, will i get network access with root ? | 01:37 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: OK, so the X server didn't stop. Let's kill it manually: "sudo pkill X" then retry "sudo service lightdm start" | 01:37 |
| JeanMV | Bashing-om: logging in root then? | 01:37 |
| Jonathan_e | Can't seem to browers my two Ubuntu 14.04 machines inorder to transfer files between them | 01:37 |
| TJ- | JeanMV: I seem to recall there's a "enable networking" option on the recovery menu, which you can use | 01:37 |
| Trinity | is using kill -9 bad due to the possibility of leaving resources in an indeterminate state? | 01:37 |
| easyOnMe | rejesalat: when I type cat /var/log/ | pastebinit it says I am trying to send an empty document | 01:38 |
| _SLM_ | TJ- my laptop suddenly stopped. I think battery was suddenly empty | 01:38 |
| _SLM_ | now it hangs on a black screen | 01:38 |
| easyOnMe | so it means there is nothing in the /var/log/ | 01:38 |
| Trinity | i read somewhere that it could even cause system damage | 01:38 |
| Bashing-om | TJ-: JeanMV When it comes to systemd I am floundering . Initially JeanMV had an old nvidia driver installed. we tried to autoinstall from the repo, and seems it failed. To this time I am unable to get networking in a rescue mode . ( might be good to see what is installed and look at the log ) . | 01:38 |
| JeanMV | TJ-: thank you tj-! | 01:38 |
| Trinity | in which case does that mean that the OS never reclaims such resources? | 01:38 |
| rejesalat | easyOnMe: /var/log is your directory in which logs are stored | 01:38 |
| rejesalat | easyOnMe: "cd /var/log" "ls" | 01:39 |
| easyOnMe | /var/log$ ls |& pastebinit | 01:39 |
| easyOnMe | http://paste.ubuntu.com/12355798/ | 01:39 |
| TJ- | Bashing-om: JeanMV OK... which release is this? I'd suggest root shell and "ls -latr /var/log/" to identify the most recently changed log files, and trying to identify the logs relating to the previous - failed - boot attempt, and then pulling them off or - if network is Internet-enabled - pastebining | 01:40 |
| rejesalat | easyOnMe: if you want to monitor your apache server you could do "sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/access.log or sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log | 01:40 |
| === Jonathan_e is now known as R_Neville | ||
| TJ- | easyOnMe: the command you need is 'ls'; try "ls -altr /var/log/ | pastebinit" | 01:41 |
| _SLM_ | TJ- I start to feel like I dont want nvidea to work anymore... Ubuntu wont even start anymore now... My work is on that laptop, I have backups from a few days ago, but still, dont wanna lose any of it | 01:42 |
| _SLM_ | Maybe just get intel to work again and call it a day | 01:43 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: What's the current state of play? Did lightdm not start, or did it start but do low-graphics mode again? | 01:43 |
| _SLM_ | Ubuntu doesnt start | 01:43 |
| _SLM_ | Like, doesnt make it to login screen | 01:43 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: OK, we call that the display manager greeter | 01:43 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: So, maybe the pkill didn't manage to stop X process when we asked it nicely to terminate. So now we force it to stop using the KILL signal: "sudo pkill -KILL X" | 01:44 |
| _SLM_ | After the loading screen, the screen goes black with a terminal-blinky-thing in the top left, but its not blinking | 01:44 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: In that case, Ctrl+Alt_F1, and then remove the bad xorg.conf "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bad" | 01:45 |
| _SLM_ | ctrl-alt-f1 doesnt work | 01:46 |
| _SLM_ | I´ll start recovery mode terminal | 01:46 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: at that point - if X is now no longer running (check with "pgrep X" - if it is you'll see its process ID, if not, nothing is displayed) you can do the manual intel switch command, and then "sudo service lightdm restart" once again | 01:46 |
| TechMonger | dose anyone know a good way to get rid of duplicate files within a directory? | 01:47 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: OK. I think you'll have to live with the Intel-only situation and subscribe to those 2 bug reports and maybe add your commentary to them. | 01:47 |
| _SLM_ | I can come back another day, but it´s close to 4AM now :) | 01:48 |
| JeanMV | TJ-: Ubuntu 15.04 on an Early 2011 MBP 15 | 01:48 |
| TJ- | TechMonger: There's a package called 'duff' that claims to do that | 01:48 |
| JeanMV | TJ-: sorry pb is Ubuntu 15.04 on an old sony vaio | 01:49 |
| TJ- | JeanMV: OK, so MacBookPro quirks plus everything else, hmm! | 01:49 |
| TJ- | JeanMV: Ahhhh OK... which Vaio model? | 01:49 |
| rejesalat | _SLM_ If you are on a laptop and everything goes to shit you can always a Sata to USB or a Sata dock and recover your files from your drive | 01:49 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: It looks like a pretty nasty bug with no obvious cause or solution right now | 01:50 |
| easyOnMe | TJ-: ok will do one moment please | 01:50 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: at least you know Intel-only mode works | 01:50 |
| TechMonger | TJ-, i have multiple backups of my phone. so i have a lot of duplicates but some stuff has been removed along the way. | 01:50 |
| easyOnMe | TJ-: /var/log$ ls -altr /var/log/ | pastebinit | 01:50 |
| easyOnMe | http://paste.ubuntu.com/12356070/ | 01:50 |
| TechMonger | TJ-, so the most current backup does not contain everything | 01:50 |
| _SLM_ | hm.... TJ- I cant rename that file, it says file is read-only | 01:51 |
| easyOnMe | TJ-: any issues that I can address on my end there | 01:51 |
| JeanMV | TJ-: VGN-Z770TD | 01:51 |
| JeanMV | pb began when trying to install nvidia drivers | 01:52 |
| _SLM_ | rejesalat, yeah I can also take the disk out of the hdd and place it in a external hdd container and plug it into usb | 01:52 |
| _SLM_ | *the disk out of the laptop | 01:52 |
| rejesalat | _SLM_ definently :)! hope youll figure something out though those cables are actually pretty cheap the one from corsair is anyways :P | 01:52 |
| === brayden_ is now known as Blaster | ||
| TechMonger | TJ-, do you have any options to suguest for the duff utility? | 01:52 |
| TJ- | easyOnMe: The only thing 'interesting' in the /var/log/ listing is that the apport (crash reporter) timestamps are for the 9th, but the last crash files were the 12th. That might suggest apport has got confused somehow. I go back to my original suggestion: delete the crash files in /var/crash/ | 01:53 |
| easyOnMe | TJ-: ok will do then | 01:53 |
| easyOnMe | thanks TJ | 01:53 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: there's no risk to the installation, you've just got a GUI issue due to Optimus hybrid drivers | 01:53 |
| easyOnMe | TJ-: /var/log$ ls -altr /var/log/ | pastebinit | 01:54 |
| easyOnMe | http://paste.ubuntu.com/12356070/ | 01:54 |
| easyOnMe | do you want me to delete all those files in the crash folder | 01:54 |
| _SLM_ | TJ- how do I rename/remove the file? It says read only | 01:55 |
| TJ- | easyOnMe: I'd suggest "sudo rm /var/crash/*" | 01:55 |
| _SLM_ | even when I use sudo | 01:55 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: are you at recovery console? | 01:55 |
| _SLM_ | yes | 01:55 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: you need to remount the / file-system read-write (it is read-only right now) "mount -o remount,rw /" | 01:55 |
| easyOnMe | TJ-: so much thanks TJ | 01:56 |
| easyOnMe | :) | 01:56 |
| easyOnMe | kudos man | 01:56 |
| Bashing-om | JeanMV: In accord with TJ-'s instruction, (recovery console) are you in terminal at this time ? | 01:56 |
| _SLM_ | TJ- that worked, how do I do sudo systemctl restart lightdm.service in my version of ubuntu again? | 02:00 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: If you're in the recovery root shell, you need to 'exit' to get back to the recovery menu, then select the top entry 'resume normal boot' or similar language | 02:01 |
| JeanMV | Bashing-om: in root | 02:01 |

| === FloppyDop is now known as tsimonq2\ | ||
| === tsimonq2\ is now known as tsimonq2 | ||
| _SLM_ | Feel free to do so.. | 02:12 |
| _SLM_ | but it worked before | 02:12 |
| Jum-B-Q | I'm taking a Linux Server class, we are using Ubuntu 14.04 | 02:12 |
| _SLM_ | like, 5 hours ago it worked | 02:12 |
| Jum-B-Q | I'm using it on VmWare WOrkstation 10 | 02:12 |
| Jum-B-Q | And I can't get any packages to download/install | 02:13 |
| _SLM_ | so its not entirely using the defaults I think | 02:13 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: many things do/did :) ... if you could locate a clue in some log as to what changed in the interim! | 02:13 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: I suspect a package upgrade | 02:13 |
| Jum-B-Q | and I think it's cause my VM cannot connect to the external internet | 02:13 |
| JeanMV | 340 | 02:13 |
| Bashing-om | JeanMV: Back on topic. ^^ what driver is installed 'ii' in the 1st colume of the dpkg output . | 02:13 |
| TJ- | Jum-B-Q: then you'd need to correctly configure VMWare to provide the VM with a network connection, and ensure there host has no firewall rules preventing it | 02:14 |
| Bashing-om | JeanMV: We purged the nvidia drivers, no ? Then how can 340 still be installed ? I would not think 15.04 even had that offring . | 02:15 |
| Bashing-om | offerring* | 02:15 |
| TJ- | Jum-B-Q: in the Ubuntu guest, you can test the issue to some extent. To check if it is a DNS issue but there is connectivity "ping -nc 5 91.189.90.58" should get responses | 02:15 |
| JeanMV | Bashing-om: may be from auto install? | 02:16 |

| ubottu | Bashing-om: nvidia-340 (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers-340): NVIDIA binary driver - version 340.76. In component restricted, is optional. Version 340.76-0ubuntu2 (vivid), package size 28334 kB, installed size 136832 kB (Only available for i386; amd64; armhf) | 02:16 |
| Bashing-om | JeanMV: beats me .. we need to install the recommended driver. Can you get this box to a wired connection ? | 02:16 |
| _SLM_ | dual screen works again :) | 02:17 |
| Jum-B-Q | TJ: Thanks for the commands, I'll check it out | 02:17 |
| Jum-B-Q | I'm also installing a "newer" version of Workstation to see if that'll fix it | 02:17 |
| TJ- | _SLM_: phew! :D quit whilst you're almost ahead :) | 02:17 |
| _SLM_ | Indeed :D | 02:17 |
| TJ- | Jum-B-Q: best to diagnose the problem before replacing software! | 02:17 |
| Jum-B-Q | TJ-: ....too late. | 02:18 |
| chadwin | hi guys.....I have a multimonitor question | 02:18 |
| abb0 | Unable to mount Blank DVD+R Disc | 02:19 |
| abb0 | location is already mounted | 02:19 |
| JeanMV | Bashing-om: wired | 02:19 |
| _SLM_ | TJ- thanks so much for all your help and patience in helping me through this issue! :) | 02:19 |
| abb0 | is the error i get every single time i insert a blank media disc into my dvd writer | 02:19 |
| _SLM_ | Also thanks zykotick9, Bashing-om, rejesalat and the others who helped/shared their helpful thoughts | 02:19 |
| abb0 | thats what i was talking about earlier TJ- | 02:19 |
| Bashing-om | JeanMV: Networking ? ping -c 3 8.8.8.8 . | 02:19 |
| abb0 | i didnt know why it always does that. try to mount it or whatever especially if you said you cant mount a blank dvd | 02:20 |
| TJ- | Jum-B-Q: Internet connections rely on 2 things: 1) an IP link with address and routing (sp pings to IP addresses will work) and 2) DNS resolving to convert names to IP addresses. If 1) works but 2) doesn't then the server needs its DNS configuring correctly, *or* the host isn't providing a DNS resolver to the guest | 02:20 |
| Bashing-om | _SLM_: Not me .. all for TJ- . | 02:20 |
| zykotick9 | Bashing-om: +1 | 02:20 |
| mvff | hi | 02:20 |
| JeanMV | Bashing-om: network is un reachable | 02:20 |
| Jum-B-Q | TJ- ping 8.8.8.8 fails. | 02:21 |
| chadwin | can I use multi monitor on ubuntu mini- terminal only | 02:21 |
| _SLM_ | TJ- was no1 thanked off course :) | 02:21 |
| happyfr0gg | How do I get a desktop file to run as a normal file? When I run the .desktop file it presents an error dialog box. | 02:21 |
| TJ- | abb0: that looks like a badly written message to me... sometimes 'mount' is used in an imprecise way, and confuses. | 02:21 |
| TJ- | Jum-B-Q: Ok, so lack of basic connectivity. Did you configure networking during the install process? | 02:22 |
| _SLM_ | Have a nice evening | 02:22 |
| TJ- | chadwin: There's very little support for multi-monitor framebuffer consoles | 02:23 |
| Bashing-om | JeanMV: Let's double check what driver should be installed. What returns ' sudo ubuntu-drivers devices ' . Then focus on getting networking to install the correct driver . | 02:23 |
| JeanMV | Bashing-om: it used to work before changing nvidia | 02:24 |
| JeanMV | GeForce 9300M GS | 02:24 |
| JeanMV | Bashing-om: GeForce 9300M GS | 02:25 |
| monsterco | I have a pfSense router and have made a /29 VLAN on it which is attached to my LAN port. My ubuntu server is then connected to LAN port. I would like to pick one of those /29 public IPs, is it possible? | 02:25 |
| Bashing-om | JeanMV: Thing is presenly you are in a 'root' terminal and networking has not been enabled . | 02:25 |
| JeanMV | Bashing-om: OK | 02:25 |
| kernix | hey all | 02:26 |
| JeanMV | Bashing-om: nvidia-340 distro non free recommended | 02:26 |
| JeanMV | Bashing-om: nvidia-304 distro non free | 02:26 |
| monsterco | anyone can answer my question above? | 02:26 |
| JeanMV | Bashing-om: same with .updates | 02:27 |
| JeanMV | ba xserver | 02:27 |
| JeanMV | Bashing-om: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau | 02:27 |
| JeanMV | intel-microde | 02:27 |
| Bashing-om | JeanMV: I do stand corrected, per : http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html the 340 version driver is correct ! | 02:28 |
| JeanMV | Bashing-om: what about 304 ? | 02:29 |
| monsterco | anyone can help on networking? | 02:33 |
| bazhang | try ##networking monsterco | 02:33 |
| Bashing-om | JeanMV: I see that 304 is too old for the 9300m GS card . Nvidia shows 340 for that card . | 02:34 |
| Bashing-om | JeanMV: We need to look at the log file. unfortunatly I do not know how or where to find what Xorg file is in 15.04 (systemd) . | 02:36 |
| TJ- | Bashing-om: The logs haven't moved; whether journald is piping to rsyslogd (it is in 15.10) I'm not sure. Best thing to test that is "stat -c %s /var/log/kern.log" to get the file-size, which should be significantly non-zero | 02:40 |
| TJ- | Bashing-om: tip for identifying PCI device IDs and therefore driver support: "egrep '(^[^[:space:]].*NVIDIA|GeForce 9300M GS)' /usr/share/misc/pci.ids" | 02:41 |
| TJ- | Bashing-om: also, at the command-line, to identify the recommended proprietary driver packages, use "ubuntu-drivers devices" | 02:43 |

| easyOnMe | thanks for the help TJ and rejesalat and Oerherks | 02:47 |
| easyOnMe | kudos to all of you here | 02:47 |
| Bashing-om | TJ-: :) Aware . just aggravated at myself for formerly misreading someing to have the thought the wrong driver was installed . Now I do not know what the booting problem is . Got to get networking up to look at logs . | 02:48 |
| TJ- | Bashing-om: I'd suggest a 'default' boot with edited kernel command line; remove "quiet splash" add "debug text" and see if it'll get to the login VT consoles | 02:51 |
| TJ- | Bashing-om: If it fails the screen should be full of useful messages at the point it fails | 02:51 |
| jason_ | Is there a command to open a file with whatever the configured default program is for that file type? | 02:51 |
| OerHeks | jason_, click on it, it will ask if ubuntu is not sure | 02:52 |
| jason_ | I mean from a terminal | 02:52 |
| OerHeks | nope | 02:54 |
| jason_ | I'd like to be able to do something like "launch file.txt" or "launch file.png" and have it do whatever would happen if I had double clicked it in nautilus. | 02:54 |
| OerHeks | you will need a lot of magic if you want to open a jpg in a terminal session | 02:54 |
| jason_ | why? there is information somewhere about what program is supposed to handle what type of file | 02:55 |
| TJ- | jason_: 'man xdg-open' | 02:55 |
| Bashing-om | TJ-: Usefull advise ! However, in my recent testing on 15.04 now 'text' no longer boots . | 02:56 |
| jason_ | TJ-, Thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for. | 02:56 |
| jason_ | I knew that had to exist. Googling failed me. | 02:57 |
| TJ- | Bashing-om: Ahhh... 'text' is in the Upstart lightdm job. I wonder if it has been replaced for systemd. | 02:58 |
| TJ- | Bashing-om: I'll check | 02:58 |
| Bashing-om | TJ-: Prior to updatong the 15.04 kernel 'text' as a boot parameter did work to get to terminal ( no networking ) after updating 'text' drives the system nuts and causes a shutdown . - on my AMD system . | 03:01 |
| TJ- | Bashing-om: ahhh, we've been here before about a week ago, I recall researching/confirming it. You said "systemd.unit=multi-user.target" | 03:02 |
| Bashing-om | TJ-: In this instance we have tried it and failed with Jean . I use systemd.unit=rescue.target to get to a terminal, and that does presently work . but without networking . | 03:04 |
| TJ- | Bashing-om: Ahhh, well that tells us something doesn't it? Some unit (service) that is started by multi-user.target but not rescue.target is causing an issue. | 03:05 |
| explodes | Hello. Can I make ProjectM work with just the straight audio output from my computer | 03:07 |
| TJ- | Bashing-om: With systemd-journald being used, "journalctl --list-boots" will list all the saved boot attempts with an index number and timestamps. Current boot is always 0. Last boot is -1, etc., | 03:07 |
| Bashing-om | TJ-: systemd.unti=rescue.target I gather is run level 3, however in terminal ' systemctl enable NetworkManager.service ' is inefective to start networking ... hummm .. | 03:07 |
| explodes | Instead of having it run inside any specific program | 03:07 |
| TJ- | Bashing-om: "systemctl start NetworkManager.service" will likely be required too, at least in my experience | 03:07 |
| joao | boa noite pessoal | 03:08 |
| TJ- | Bashing-om: re: the journals. If --list-boots lists older logs then you can do "journalctl -b -1" to view the previous boot log | 03:08 |
| TJ- | Bashing-om: On 15.10 there are no older boot journals kept because journald is configured to pipe its log output to rsylogd, so we have all the same logs as in 14.04 | 03:09 |
| Bashing-om | TJ-: Yeah, that helps. I have been doing the homework on journalctl . I am trying to force new thought process to see the info I want to see . And KNOW where/how to find it . - old habits die hard ! | 03:10 |
| monsterG | Sup plp | 03:10 |
| TJ- | Bashing-om: Despite the learning curve I've been really impressed with the way it is organised and the level of detail available, as well as the filtering | 03:11 |
| TJ- | Bashing-om: systemd still causes some high-level regressions where it hasn't fully replaced existing functionality, but overall it is enjoyable to use. | 03:12 |

| Bashing-om | TJ-: Thus far I am impressed with systemd, and journalctl is getting my goat. learning to use the tools at our disposal . I will fire up my test bed in the AM and back to see what I can learn . | 03:15 |
| Kramerboy | Hello, I have a question about Shotwell Viewer. I have opened an image from a folder containing about 10,000, but haven't edited it. When I close the Shotwell Viewer window the program continues to run in the background and I notice hard disk activity. Is it safe to kill the process when this happens? Or do I wait for the program to finish up? I'd assume it's trying to read all the images from the folder when this happens. | 03:15 |
| TJ- | Bashing-om: I do like how journalctl keeps all the logs together, so you can view *all* logs in context rather than having to remember timestamps from one file and checking in another file for those, especially when some don't have datetimes only relative stamps | 03:16 |
| A1F4 | my bad, I enter IRC command in wrong window. | 03:18 |
| TJ- | Kramerboy: no sure; it sounds like it is indexing/thumbnailing | 03:19 |

| phunyguy | let's not comment on them, and just stick to support please. Thank you. | 03:21 |
| cfhowlett | Kramerboy, I justed tested. pretty sure shotwell is cataloging image locations, not moving or editing. a 10K library does take a bit of time to read. | 03:22 |
| Kramerboy | cfhowlett: so it's still safe to kill the process, even if it's still indexing? | 03:23 |
| cfhowlett | Kramerboy, as I understand it, yes. | 03:23 |
| TJ- | Kramerboy: it's likely reading the XIF data to create an index | 03:23 |
| Kramerboy | cfhowlett and TJ: ah, good to know then. First I was worried, as this is the only copy of the folder I got. Thanks! | 03:24 |
| cfhowlett | Kramerboy, complete index should only be so time consuming the first time. after it completes once, it should be much speedier | 03:27 |
| monsterG | q | 03:27 |
| Kramerboy | cfhowlett: where is the index stored? in the home folder or on the same drive as the pictures folder? | 03:29 |
| cfhowlett | Kramerboy, no idea. best to ask the shotwell folk | 03:29 |
| TJ- | Kramerboy: probably under $HOME/.cache/ if it abides by the freedesktop specs, or possibly $HOME/.config/ or even $HOME/.shotwell/ | 03:30 |

| meltingwax | i installed windows 8 on a seperate parition, then ran boot-repair from the live-cd. now i can boot into ubuntu, but windows does not show up on the grub menu. what can i do? | 04:22 |
| Diitto | TheCholbs: hi | 04:22 |
| sbluen | thanks | 04:23 |
| sbluen | meltingwax, I got a similar problem | 04:23 |
| sbluen | I can now boot into ubuntu, but windows isn't on my grub menu | 04:23 |
| sbluen | it worked just fine on windows 7 and ubuntu 14 | 04:24 |
| OerHeks | sbluen, that is because you are in legacy now. | 04:24 |
| sbluen | I know | 04:24 |

| sbluen | also, I noticed that hexchat is missing its scrollbars | 04:30 |
| dasjk | i do not understand how the System language applet works | 04:30 |
| dasjk | is it for unity session only? | 04:30 |
| sbluen | after the updates are installed I'll see if that works | 04:31 |
| sbluen | ok, so the scrollbar appeared after I attached a mouse and used the mouse scrollwheel | 04:36 |
| sbluen | I'd still like to ask about how to safely dual boot windows and ubuntu | 04:36 |
| sbluen | I mean, do I need to shrink the windows partition from windows? | 04:37 |
| nug700 | if I want to install windows 10 on a different disk and dual boot, how would I do this? | 04:37 |
| OerHeks | nug700, install windows 10, and reinstall grub after that. | 04:39 |
| OerHeks | !grub | 04:39 |

| nehemiasz | badbodh, yeah but i want to add Woderlist | 06:34 |
| nehemiasz | Wuderlist* | 06:34 |

| skynetguy | Is it me or is Precise Pangolin google chrome and firefox buggy???? | 06:38 |
| skynetguy | whats going on | 06:38 |
| skynetguy | is anybody else having these problems | 06:39 |
| badbodh | baizon: ah, why not chromium. forgot about that :D | 06:39 |
| baizon | badbodh: the second answer | 06:40 |
| badbodh | chromium will be much easier, good call | 06:41 |
| skynetguy | i think the latest google chrome update messed it up | 06:41 |
| skynetguy | it stops working after about 40 min | 06:42 |
| skynetguy | then it wont reload | 06:42 |
| badbodh | skynetguy: precise is pretty old by now, better stick to official repository for apps. | 06:42 |
| badbodh | latest versions won't play well with it | 06:42 |
| skynetguy | you mean latest versions of google chrome | 06:43 |
| skynetguy | not well with precise | 06:44 |
| badbodh | yes. but as a blind turkey shoot, open chrome and clear cache. do the same with any other browser you got | 06:44 |
| skynetguy | doing it now | 06:46 |
| OerHeks | skynetguy, "google chrome and firefox" both ?sounds you have a different issue, maybe ram problems | 06:46 |
| skynetguy | google chrome gets buggy after half hour then it wont reload | 06:47 |
| skynetguy | firefox is buggy as well | 06:47 |
| skynetguy | i stopped using firefox back when they stopped releasing updates to flash player for linux | 06:48 |
| skynetguy | does Trusy Tahr have these problems | 06:48 |
| skynetguy | OerHeks, i got 8gb ram | 06:49 |
| skynetguy | OerHeks, should i update to 14.04.3LTS | 06:52 |
| badbodh | won't be a bad idea if you plan on using chrome | 06:52 |
| OerHeks | precise is supported until 2017, but you can upgrade if you like. | 06:52 |
| OerHeks | chrome version will be the same | 06:53 |
| badbodh | alternatively you can use chromium+pepperflash from repositories | 06:53 |
| badbodh | should be more compatible than google chrome | 06:53 |
| OerHeks | pepperflash is depreciated https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Chromium/Getting-Flash | 06:53 |
| badbodh | oh | 06:54 |
| skynetguy | is chromium pretty stable | 06:54 |
| OerHeks | i have that flash thingy removed, i use chrome with buildin flash, and html5 is default now | 06:54 |
| skynetguy | you mean google chrome | 06:55 |
| skynetguy | ?? | 06:55 |
| badbodh | yes. | 06:55 |
| baizon | skynetguy: no, chromium | 06:55 |
| OerHeks | yes chrome, not chromium | 06:55 |
| baizon | chrome is bad | 06:55 |
| badbodh | hehe | 06:55 |
| baizon | closed source calling home peace of software :P | 06:55 |
| OerHeks | !fud | 06:56 |
| ubottu | Please do not fall prey to, or spread FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) - it is not welcome here! Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt | 06:56 |
| skynetguy | so chromium is pretty stable under precise??? | 06:56 |
| seraph_ | hi.. | 06:57 |
| badbodh | as a wise man said, you gotta wear your own undies to find out skynetguy . tell us what happens | 06:58 |
| skynetguy | using it now | 06:58 |
| skynetguy | ..... | 06:58 |
| badbodh | do check if ubuntu 12.04 has older version of chromium or the latest | 06:59 |
| baizon | badbodh: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=chromium&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all | 06:59 |
| OerHeks | even 12.04 has always the latest. | 06:59 |
| baizon | OerHeks: youre wrong again | 07:00 |
| OerHeks | HUH? 37 .. that is bad | 07:00 |
| baizon | precise (12.04LTS) (web): Chromium browser - 37.0.2062.120-0ubuntu0.12.04.1~pkg917 | 07:00 |
| OerHeks | it must be the shortage of packagers .. chromium is often late with updates | 07:00 |
| OerHeks | baizon, how 'wrong again' ??? | 07:01 |
| OerHeks | this one is unexpected, unlogical also. | 07:02 |
| skynetguy | yeah i just got a update message | 07:02 |
| skynetguy | is 37 old verison | 07:02 |
| skynetguy | what should i have | 07:02 |
| badbodh | wow. shortage of volunteers in ubuntu, that's news to me. where have your packagers gone | 07:03 |
| badbodh | skynetguy: apparently 37 is the version available on 12.04. makes sense, older version = more compatible with precise | 07:04 |
| badbodh | less crashy and bugsy | 07:04 |
| skynetguy | what is the latest version??? | 07:05 |
| auronandace | skynetguy: on 15.04 i'm running 44 | 07:05 |

| hio | yeah but i can never remember what the command is, what needs to run on the remote pc, where is my "key" or what i need exactly on my pc so it works | 08:41 |
| hio | usually i just do the same password everywhere and then it somehow works.. | 08:41 |
| qmr | hio: the command is 'ssh' ? | 08:42 |
| hio | qmr: yeah but i need some kind of public rsa key first right? i need to generate something | 08:43 |
| qmr | hio: You can use a key pair or password | 08:43 |
| appsport | Bonjour | 08:43 |
| monomon | hio: it's also possible to connect using username and password | 08:44 |
| monomon | it depends on the setup | 08:44 |
| monomon | the ssh server can define whether it allows password or not | 08:44 |

| bellflower | Hello. Need some help or suggestion. I need to install Ubuntu 32 bit from mini-iso download, but cheksum does not match. | 10:41 |
| cfhowlett | bellflower, then don't use it. download a clean .iso | 10:42 |
| bellflower | Tried re-download 4 times using different computers. all DLs match but it is not the MD5 listed on website. | 10:42 |
| bellflower | Could it be the hosted file for Vivid 32 bit mini.iso is corrupt or incorrect? | 10:43 |
| cfhowlett | bellflower unlikely | 10:44 |
| dian222 | bellflower: did you try some older/different versions? to see if they give the MD5 mismatch too? | 10:44 |
| bellflower | Not yet. Would you recomend I DL Utopic instead? | 10:44 |
| cfhowlett | !utopic | bellflower | 10:45 |
| ubottu | bellflower: Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic Unicorn) was the 21st release of Ubuntu. Support ended on July 23rd, 2015. See !eol, !upgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/utopic | 10:45 |
| MonkeyDust | bellflower try 14.04 if you want long support, or 15.04 if you want the latest and greatest | 10:46 |
| bellflower | I'd like to install 15.04, but the DL keeps giving the same incorrect MD5 checksum. | 10:47 |

| BluesKaj | 'Morning all | 10:50 |
| feliwir | can someone answer my question from earlier? | 10:50 |
| MonkeyDust | feliwir hit the up key to repeat the question | 10:50 |
| bellflower | rpm, I think that is a common error since modems/routers went to DOCSIS 3.0 with power saving flags. Happens in several OSes. | 10:51 |
| feliwir | hi, for what reasons I can't write to a writeable disk with brosero? | 10:51 |
| bellflower | Sorry, I do not know of a permanent fix. Most support just says to reboot router/moden. | 10:51 |
| feliwir | i entered a 4.7gb writeable dvd into my drive | 10:52 |
| BluesKaj | is the dvd blank? | 10:53 |
| feliwir | BluesKaj, yes | 10:53 |
| feliwir | could someone maybe teamviewer? i really need to get that iso on my dvd (to fix my windows OS :D) | 10:53 |
| BluesKaj | feliwir, does your file manager see the dvd/drive ? | 10:54 |
| dian222 | feliwir: i'm not expert but I've found more simple to use K3B | 10:54 |
| feliwir | BluesKaj, the disk program does find it | 10:55 |
| feliwir | the filemanager doesn't show it (i guess because its empty) | 10:55 |
| bellflower | Bst fix for Windows = See "Delete" | 10:55 |
| bujji | rm: cannot remove ‘1.zip’: Input/output error | 10:55 |
| rpm_33 | bellflower: this doesnt happen on my windows/mac machines. or even on the win7 partition of that computer. | 10:55 |
| dian222 | feliwir: try to install k3b as a CD burning software | 10:56 |
| cfhowlett | bujji, i/o errors often point to hardware problems | 10:56 |
| bellflower | rpm, then you could reasonably rule out the posibility of it being the DOCSIS 3 power saving options. | 10:56 |
| bujji | cfhowlett:iwant to delete the files in pendrive | 10:57 |
| cfhowlett | bujji, pendrives fail too. | 10:57 |
| cfhowlett | try a different one | 10:57 |
| bellflower | feliwir, I find K3B to be much more reliable than Brasero. | 10:58 |
| feliwir | lol | 10:58 |
| feliwir | No CD/DVD/BD writer found. | 10:58 |
| bujji | cfhowlett: how? | 10:58 |
| feliwir | was this cheap 10$ drive no burner -.- | 10:58 |
| feliwir | what a disappointment | 10:58 |
| bellflower | feliwir, run "disks" to see if it's recognized and mounted. | 10:58 |
| cfhowlett | bujji, ? reach in pocket. find another USB. insert into computer. use. | 10:58 |
| bellflower | Also check permissions on your optical device. | 10:59 |
| bujji | cfhowlett:can i change the filesystem type of the pendrive | 10:59 |
| bellflower | or try K3B or Brasero launching from terminal with udo prefix. | 10:59 |
| bellflower | sudo* | 11:00 |
| cfhowlett | bujji, if the drive itself is failing, as seems to be the case, that won't help. test a different USB | 11:00 |
| bujji | i have used another usb also same problem happening | 11:00 |
| cfhowlett | bujji, try sudo rm filename | 11:02 |
| rpm_33 | So I rebooted the laptop: wifi connected after a little while. then I close and open the lid, and it will no longer connect. | 11:02 |
| bujji | cfhowlett: nothing work | 11:02 |
| BluesKaj | bellflower, K3b has been erroring out on my system in the last few kubuntu releases, so I switched to the terminal with wodim. It seems thje K3b gui has some kind of problem since it uses wodim as it's backend. | 11:03 |
| bujji | cfhowlett: do you want any information regarding this | 11:03 |
| cfhowlett | bellflower, I downloaded the mini.iso and md5sum is perfect. are you sure you're checking the correct hash against the correct version? | 11:03 |
| cfhowlett | bujji, load it up in the channel for all to see | 11:04 |
| bujji | okey | 11:04 |
| bellflower | BluesKaj, Very likely. Despite K3B usually working more often than Brasero, I am having issues with both not being able to start a burn in TAO mode. It looks like it's ignoring user burn perms. | 11:04 |
| bujji | files cant delete in pendrive (i/o error) | 11:05 |
| rpm_33 | this is awful; I need to reboot every time I close my laptop lid, or whenever it goes to sleep, so that I can get internet back? | 11:05 |
| BluesKaj | bellflower, wodim in the terminal has been flawless, wodim -eject -tao speed=0 dev=/dev/sr0 -v -data /my/directory/image.iso | 11:06 |
| MonkeyDust | rpm_33 no, so you can get wifi back... it probably works with cable | 11:07 |

| Expletive | Hi. I built a PC recently, but I'm having an issue with ubuntu. I installed 15.04 on the machine, ran the software update, and then the next time it tried to boot, it would just hang at a black screen with a flashing underscore. | 11:33 |
| popey | .oO( I wish we had a really good step by step guide written up for "black screen on boot after update" issues ) | 11:34 |
| bellflower | Step 1. Reinstall/ Try again | 11:34 |
| bujji | popey: Error synchronizing after initial wipe: Timed out waiting for object (udisks-error-quark, 0) | 11:35 |
| bujji | another pen drive | 11:35 |
| MonkeyDust | !nomodeset | Expletive is this useful | 11:35 |
| ubottu | Expletive is this useful: 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 | 11:35 |
| bellflower | The only times I run in to the "nothing but an underscore on boot" issue it has to do with an interrupted or corrupted update. | 11:35 |
| popey | bellflower: which is fixable, "reinstall" isn't the fix :( | 11:36 |
| popey | anyway, sorry for discussing here. | 11:36 |
| bellflower | It can be. Time consuming, but with no personal data or work on the machine yet, it's sometimes the most straight-forward and easy fix. | 11:36 |
| EriC^^ | maybe it's just newer graphics drivers / kernel don't work for the pc? | 11:37 |
| bellflower | Or granted, once I forgot to select any desktop GUI to install, and then an X11 update resulted in only a cursor. | 11:38 |
| hedgewarrior | ehi popey , what do you make out of this: "With the introduction of MultiArch support in dpkg we should also support the parallel install of EGL packages from different sources for different architectures - for example, to allow a developer on an x86-64 system to use the x86-64 EGL implementation from the proprietary ATI drivers while having an armel EGL implementation from mesa installed to cross-compile for ARM." | 11:38 |
| bellflower | My biggest issue is desktops breaking, and no longer functioning the way I like to use them after updates. | 11:39 |
| bujji | popey: the drive is still showing 1.8gb used but there is no data.. | 11:39 |
| bujji | any help | 11:39 |
| Expletive | MonkeyDust: I'll try nomodeset when I get a chance. It's really late right now and I figured I'd pop in and ask since I'm not sleeping for some reason. Thanks for the suggestion. | 11:40 |
| bellflower | I ue a laptop as my primary PC, I like to leave the top closed after booting and work on my better HDMI monitor, but can no longer find the "ignore lid switch while on AC power" options. | 11:40 |
| bellflower | Xfce never has the laptop lid issues, but all others, lose the option after updates. | 11:40 |
| Expletive | Do updates break things a lot? | 11:41 |
| popey | bujji: is this ubuntu? | 11:42 |
| bujji | yes | 11:42 |
| bellflower | Not really. More often on dist-upgrade, but usually just missing options in settings go missing after 1 in 20 updates. | 11:42 |
| chakravanti | I'm trying to install package cli-common:i386 on 14.04 and it's returning: "E: Package 'cli-common:i386' has no installation candidate" I've apt-get update. launchpad seems to show it's there. I'm at a loss with how to deal with this one. | 11:42 |
| popey | bujji: not kali or some other type? | 11:43 |
| bujji | no, | 11:43 |
| bellflower | I don't cosider losing the laptop lid detection options to be a significant issue, since I've become quite comfortable with the Xfce desktop over the last 9 months. | 11:44 |
| rpm_33 | This is a total pain. Why is Ubuntu so hopeless at joining WIFI? This is a brand new laptop. | 11:44 |
| popey | Expletive: they can for some people - unfortunately our experience is that updates can break if people install random 3rd party drivers or remove critical components (like the ubuntu-desktop package) | 11:44 |
| bujji | popey: while doing format iam getting the same error | 11:44 |
| bellflower | New Laptop + Ubuntu + Wifi isues... Sounds like maybe a chipset driver issue. | 11:45 |
| popey | bujji: is the usb drive plugged in directly? or via a usb hub? | 11:45 |
| === clearcut_ is now known as clearcut | ||
| bujji | popey: directly plugged | 11:45 |

| bellflower | rpm_33, What I would do is check system info to see what is detected as network devices, if any, then on a web-enabled computer (or my phone) look up the hardware maker and see what they list as available wifi chipsets for that model | 11:47 |

| bellflower | Then google the chipset to look for linux drivers that support it. | 11:47 |

| rpm_33 | bellflower: I ran lspci - it says 06:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev bb) | 11:52 |
| bellflower | That could be correct. Did you search for which Linux drivers support that device? | 11:52 |
| tsoutseki | this may be off-topic, but i am running xchat on ubuntu | 11:52 |
| tsoutseki | and id like to chat with someone in a way that the messages wont be going through freenode | 11:53 |
| tsoutseki | what do i do? | 11:53 |
| Strat | popey: i checked those directores...the .desktop file of the application is in the /usr/share/applications directory. However, there is only 1 desktopfile corresponding to the application. I also checked for hidden files, but that didn't show anything extra | 11:53 |
| bazhang | tsoutseki, there's #xchat but you should upgrade to hexchat | 11:53 |
| bujji | OerHeks: still i am getting the same error while formating | 11:53 |
| popey | Strat: one desktop file can have two sections, maybe it has two? | 11:53 |
| popey | bujji: i just pointed you at the bug | 11:53 |
| bazhang | /msg nick hi tsoutseki | 11:53 |
| Strat | popey: how do you mean two sections? | 11:53 |
| bazhang | !info hexchat | tsoutseki | 11:54 |
| ubottu | tsoutseki: hexchat (source: hexchat): IRC client for X based on X-Chat 2. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.10.1-2 (vivid), package size 386 kB, installed size 1195 kB | 11:54 |
| popey | Strat: one desktop file can describe multiple ways to open an app, multiple stanzas, sections | 11:54 |
| rpm_33 | bellflower: do I just google that, or is there someplace Linux drivers are stored? Or would that be Dell's website themselves? | 11:54 |
| OerHeks | bujji, try formatting it on an other machine, mac or windows perhaps? | 11:54 |
| bujji | OerHeks: that would probably good | 11:55 |
| Strat | popey: so how do i check out what the desktop file describes? | 11:55 |
| OerHeks | or dd that thing | 11:55 |
| Strat | the parameter "OnlyShowIn" of this file lists "GNOME; KDE; Unity; LXDE" | 11:55 |
| popey | Strat: open it in nano / vi and take a look | 11:55 |
| popey | Strat: the .desktop file is a standard that is documented online | 11:56 |
| Strat | popey: i've opened it in vi; can't see anything strange though | 11:56 |
| bellflower | rpm_33 It could be on any of those. I just search google, then look at the manufacturer's website first in case it's proprietary. But Intel 7260 sounds common/generic enough, that any official Linux repo's should be able to cover it. Better yet, see if Software Center turns up anything on searching that number. | 11:56 |

| OerHeks | bujji, nice | 11:59 |
| MonkeyDust | makara that's too vague, please specify | 11:59 |
| makara | sound controls totally unresponsive, yet sound is working (Rhythmbox) | 12:00 |

| Mitt | what upgrade, makara? | 12:00 |
| wligtenberg | Hi, the sound doesn't swich output when I select a new output device in the Sound application. | 12:00 |
| wligtenberg | (previously that worked) | 12:00 |
| makara | Mitt, sudo apt-get upgrade | 12:00 |
| Mitt | what have you been upgrading? | 12:01 |
| makara | Mitt, 15.04 | 12:01 |
| bellflower | rpm_33, I found this while searching... https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/17045/Intel-Drivers-for-Linux- | 12:02 |
| Mitt | Maybe it's not sound but Rhythmbox, try something else | 12:02 |
| bellflower | See if that helps. | 12:02 |
| Mitt | see if totem or parole work e.g. | 12:03 |
| makara | Mitt, its not Rhythmbox. No sound driver available in system settings | 12:03 |

| rpm_33 | bellflower: thanks - is that for the network card I posted? | 12:05 |
| makara | Mitt, standard unity | 12:05 |
| Mitt | makara check if the volume daemon is in startup apps | 12:06 |
| bellflower | rpm_33, Yes. The drivers are based on the chipset numbers. But you may need to find out whether you are using 4.2+ Kernal or previous version. | 12:06 |
| rpm_33 | bellflower: thank you - how do i find out that information about kernel version? | 12:07 |
| MonkeyDust | rpm_33 uname -r | 12:08 |
| bellflower | MrElendig, I only suggest the same reasonable safe browsing habits I use myself. Only official, especially when it comes to hardware mfg. Check it yourself. | 12:08 |
| Mitt | makara, check something with pulseaudio in startup | 12:08 |
| rpm_33 | thanks - 3.19.0-25 generic | 12:08 |
| makara | look there must be some way of seeing what modules have been upgraded, and roll them back or something like that. How often does something break after an upgrade | 12:08 |
| MrElendig | bellflower: getting him to actually post output that explains what is actually wrong is much more useful | 12:09 |
| makara | there're unrelated items in additional startup apps | 12:09 |
| bellflower | MrElendig, if I have been of no usefulness or help, then I should get back to what I was working on. Thank you for offering to take over. :) | 12:11 |
| makara | weird. In synaptic, shows pulseaudio:i386. I recently installed Wine 32bit. Uninstalling, going to install 64bit pulseaudio | 12:15 |

| Ntemis | i put a hdd that had wondows on it | 15:15 |
| Ntemis | *windows | 15:15 |
| daftykins | :) | 15:15 |
| Ntemis | doesnt boot on this machine | 15:15 |
| Ntemis | will i have trouble removing it? | 15:15 |
| daftykins | not a problem then, as it won't boot by default | 15:16 |
| daftykins | don't bother | 15:16 |
| Ntemis | thanks | 15:16 |
| daftykins | if you ever remove that disk, any future kernel update will re-run update-grub which will remove it i think | 15:16 |
| Ramseize | hello, can you advise which one is better to use, inspircd or unreal? hope for you kind reply. | 15:16 |
| Omid | daftykins: Can you give me a command to add this repo add-apt-repository ppa:WHAT_IS_HERE? | 15:17 |
| daftykins | Omid: i just told you it isn't one, stop repeating the same question! | 15:17 |
| Ntemis | still cant install mesa-vdpau-drivers | 15:18 |
| Ntemis | shall i reboot? | 15:18 |
| Omid | daftykins: Ok, but i think you don't understand my question | 15:18 |
| daftykins | Omid: i do and i'm telling you that's not a PPA | 15:18 |
| Omid | daftykins: Thanks. | 15:19 |

| fritz4fun | have a ubuntu 14.04.1 instance in virtualbox. cant change the keyboard layout | 15:40 |
| daftykins | fritz4fun: until it's updated there's not much point trying to fix anything | 15:43 |
| === jacky is now known as Guest58515 | ||
| fritz4fun | daftykins, what should I've avoided to prevent this problem | 15:44 |
| daftykins | 14.04.1 is old, we're currently at 14.04.3 - so you need to run a dist-upgrade ideally | 15:44 |
| fritz4fun | when i type root it says "root" is currently not installed. You can installi it by typing: sudo-apt-get instlal root-system-bin. Normal behaviour? | 15:45 |
| TJ- | fritz4fun: 'root' is a command in a data analysis package :) | 15:46 |
| === Chris230 is now known as Guest96309 | ||

| samthewildone | Can someone help me with this error > http://codepad.org/UAxAHDas | 15:49 |
| samthewildone | I google the error and tried majority of the methods from various sites including, askubuntu/help | 15:50 |
| samthewildone | currently running 14.04.3LTS up2date with a Intel HD card. | 15:50 |
| samthewildone | this is all on a thinkpad t430s | 15:50 |

| rpm_33 | Thanks for the link about installing Ubuntu on the Dell XPS 13 - does it apply to other Dell laptops (mine's a Precision)? What are those things - bcmwl-kernel-source, dkms, fakeroot, libfakeroot? I might be able to use the included USB-to-ethernet adapter to get online and install those - what do they do? | 15:53 |
| daftykins | rpm_33: install debian kernel management system/support utilities and the broadcom kernel source for broadcom wireless | 15:55 |
| Jonii | A question: I did some magic to update opengl version. Now however on startup, login screen starts out in that black energy saving mode | 15:56 |
| Jonii | I don't want that to happen. Any ideas? | 15:56 |
| rpm_33 | dafrykins - my wireless card is "Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 Plus Bluetooth" | 15:56 |
| blahhh | Hi. I am trying to partition my hdd with gparted. I am having trouble with it. i think it i because my disc is encrypted | 15:57 |
| daftykins | rpm_33: ah then you have the higher spec model which doesn't need the above. | 15:57 |
| === erwin_ is now known as easyOnMe | ||
| daftykins | rpm_33: are you having wifi issues? | 15:57 |
| rpm_33 | daftykins - yes BAD issues!!!! | 15:57 |
| daftykins | as in what, no interface? | 15:57 |
| === pax2you1 is now known as pax2you | ||
| rpm_33 | daftykins - it used to pick up the WIFI network sporadically - but would fail to connect after closing the lid and resuming. Now I can't get the WIFI to work at all, even after a reboot. | 15:58 |
| daftykins | rpm_33: does network manager show any networks? is this a clean 14.04.3 install? | 15:59 |
| rpm_33 | daftykins: I had tried some fixes people posted on the internet, but they didn't work - so I did a new install. Since then I've had no WIFI at all. | 15:59 |
| === slickness_ is now known as slickness12345 | ||
| daftykins | rpm_33: ok, what are you typing from now? which interfaces do you see from "ifconfig -a" ? | 16:00 |
| blahhh | Hi. I am trying to partition my hdd with gparted. I am having trouble with it. i think it i because my disc is encrypted | 16:00 |
| blahhh | is this the right place to ask | 16:00 |
| rpm_33 | daftykins - note that my laptop came with Ubuntu pre-installed, but I overwrote it, put Win7 on, and then reinstalled Ubuntu on a separate prtition. I'm using someone else's MBP to talk to you. | 16:00 |
| daftykins | rpm_33: ok, run the above and let me know what interface names you see | 16:01 |
| rpm_33 | ifconfig -a returns: lo and wlan0 | 16:01 |
| daftykins | oh it does find wlan0, how odd | 16:02 |
| daftykins | rpm_33: do you have anything you can take a picture with and upload - or a flash drive to take a screenshot/text off and share? | 16:02 |
| rpm_33 | yeah can do, bear with me... | 16:02 |
| daftykins | rpm_33: "sudo lshw -C network" would be handy to see | 16:02 |
| easyOnMe | daftykins: do you do web development | 16:02 |
| daftykins | no | 16:03 |
| chrisss123456 | im trying to root a samsung android phone from ubuntu, and online instructions are very conflicting. has anyone here done it? | 16:04 |

| Geo | Hi, I have a RAID via mdadm that, after replacing some disks, one of the new disks is listed as a spare, and is not going back into the 'normal' RAID slot. Thus, the RAID is still listed as degraded. The spare disk itself is listed as clean, so why can't I get it to xfer into the actual RAID slot? | 16:04 |
| rpm_33 | daftykins - hi again, I made a pastebin for you to look at: http://pastebin.com/cxcg79jN | 16:06 |
| daftykins | oh this is an M3800 not an XPS 13 | 16:07 |
| rpm_33 | correct | 16:07 |
| MonkeyDust | Geo what's the output of 'inxi -R', is it useful | 16:07 |
| lee_ | 으 | 16:07 |
| lee_ | 음 | 16:07 |
| lee_ | ? | 16:07 |
| daftykins | lee_: no thank you | 16:07 |
| Geo | MonkeyDust: thats not a command I have installed nor am I familiar with it | 16:08 |
| lee_ | what? | 16:08 |
| MonkeyDust | Geo install inxi, first | 16:08 |
| daftykins | no spam thanks :) | 16:08 |
| daftykins | rpm_33: hmm, i see that's a little older of a kernel - can you get it online with wired? | 16:09 |
| === pax2you1 is now known as pax2you | ||
| rpm_33 | daftykins - I'll go set up next to the router and try that. What determines the age of the Kernel? I downloaded the ISO from the Ubuntu website a couple of days ago. | 16:09 |
| Geo | MonkeyDust: what are you looking for, exactly | 16:10 |
| daftykins | rpm_33: there's always a newer one than what's in the images - i spy -25 but we're up to -29 i think now for vivid | 16:10 |
| EriC^^ | bla | 16:11 |
| fritz4fun | how to read out distro in terminal | 16:11 |
| daftykins | rpm_33: ah the old "rfkill list all" might be useful too | 16:11 |
| daftykins | rpm_33: it should be 'no' beside both hard + soft blocked | 16:12 |
| === io is now known as IdleOne | ||
| rpm_45 | daftykins - I was previously chatting with you as rpm_33 - but I'mnow upstairs connected to my router with a wire. | 16:15 |
| Geo | fritz4fun: lsb_realease -a | 16:16 |
| daftykins | rpm_45: ok, could you try "rfkill list all" and check it's a 'no' for both soft and hard blocked? | 16:16 |
| rpm_45 | daftykins - only bluetooth is "soft blocked", the rest is "no" | 16:17 |
| daftykins | rpm_45: ok good stuff | 16:17 |
| daftykins | rpm_45: i'd just do a nice "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" then | 16:18 |
| TJ- | Geo: what command did you use to add the spare back into the array? | 16:18 |
| MonkeyDust | fritz4fun or cat /etc/issue | 16:18 |
| Jonii | A question: I did some magic to update opengl version. Now however on startup, login screen starts out in that black energy saving mode which makes my screen turn off | 16:19 |
| rpm_45 | daftykins - okie dokie, these are general updates and security fixes? | 16:20 |
| daftykins | rpm_45: yep | 16:21 |
| rpm_45 | it's been hanging for a while | 16:21 |
| daftykins | http://paste.ubuntu.com ? | 16:21 |
| rpm_45 | daftykins - d'oh! i accidentally hit ctrl+c when I wanted to copy. OK, doing it again... | 16:23 |
| daftykins | is it stalling in the mirror hits or after? | 16:23 |
| rpm_45 | daftykins - here's where I accidentally stopped it the first time, and where it's been hanging this second time... http://paste.ubuntu.com/12369542/ | 16:25 |

| === sireebob is now known as sireebobAUS | ||
| daftykins | cool, that should keep you busy for a while (: | 16:26 |
| rpm_45 | daftykins - gonna take a little while yep | 16:26 |
| JustMozzy | hey everyone. I am trying to solve a problem with my wifi connection. when I connect to my router, I am not able to ping anything | 16:27 |
| === sireebobAUS is now known as sireebob | ||
| JustMozzy | it all times out | 16:27 |
| daftykins | JustMozzy: do you get a DHCP lease? | 16:28 |
| JustMozzy | daftykins: I guess so. the weird thing is, if I connect through my phone's tethered connection things work fine. just in case I also flushed my iptables | 16:29 |
| daftykins | that's not strange at all, it's a completely different interface | 16:29 |
| daftykins | JustMozzy: confirm you're getting an IP for your home network with "ip a" after connecting | 16:30 |
| daftykins | JustMozzy: what's the history surrounding this? did it suddenly happen today? is it a clean install? | 16:30 |
| JustMozzy | daftykins: yeah, I just picked up the laptop and noticed that I didnt have a connection. was working on some docker things over night, so I though maybe it messed up my network configuration or something so I purged the package and flushed my iptables but still no connections. | 16:31 |
| daftykins | JustMozzy: ok well until you can specifically state that you've got a correct IP, we can't really progress | 16:32 |
| fritz4fun | I've upgraded to ubuntu 14.04.3 and still have keyboard layout problems | 16:33 |
| fritz4fun | Permission problems with /etc/sysconfig/keyboard | 16:33 |
| rpm_45 | daftykins - OK bro, I'm all up to date. | 16:34 |
| daftykins | rpm_45: fresh boot and see what you can see | 16:34 |
| rpm_45 | daftykins - OK see you on the other side. | 16:35 |
| rpm_45_ | daftykins - hello again I'm rebooted. | 16:37 |
| daftykins | so what's new? | 16:37 |
| rpm_45_ | Oh should I be able to use WiFi now? | 16:37 |
| daftykins | is this standard ubuntu with unity? | 16:37 |
| daftykins | if so, clicking the network manager icon should show wireless networks nearby | 16:37 |
| rpm_45_ | Well yeah (although the icon has changed since im plugged in to ethernet) | 16:38 |
| daftykins | so it does show them - and before it didn't? | 16:38 |
| daftykins | yeah it'll show up as wired | 16:38 |
| rpm_45_ | No before it did, it jst wouldn't connect | 16:39 |
| daftykins | oh right | 16:39 |
| daftykins | and i take it you turned your router off and on? | 16:39 |
| rpm_45_ | Yeah lol. | 16:39 |
| rpm_45_ | daftykins - This problem only occurs on ubuntu, not on my Win7 partition, or any other computers | 16:39 |
| daftykins | you wouldn't believe how much time is wasted in here on people who refuse to do that | 16:39 |
| daftykins | so - what's it doing when you hit connect and enter the password now? | 16:40 |
| rpm_45_ | Well in the interests of exhausting the easiest fixes, let me unplug and replug the router. See you in a bit. | 16:40 |
| daftykins | yay | 16:40 |

| PCatinean | How does one allow ssh only for ipv4? | 16:42 |
| daftykins | only port forward v4? :D | 16:43 |
| skydog | Hi all, I try to install grunt but I during the installation (npm install -g grunt-cli) it is written that grunt can't be accessed , any idea what happens? http://pastebin.com/4bp09npv | 16:43 |
| PCatinean | allow ssh connections only from ipv4 not ipv6 | 16:43 |
| PCatinean | I would like in the end to have only ssh http and https, that's it deny any other incoming connection | 16:43 |
| PCatinean | and ssh only for ipv4 | 16:43 |
| daftykins | PCatinean: why not just reconfigure the daemons to only listen on a given? | 16:44 |
| JustMozzy | daftykins: sorry, phone. I do get an ip and when I ping I get back an IP from the domain to ping, but no connection can be established | 16:44 |
| PCatinean | daftykins, if the server is dedicated solely for that, why would I keep open ports? | 16:44 |
| PCatinean | If I need more I will open them up one by one | 16:44 |
| daftykins | JustMozzy: what are you pinging? 'the domain' is what? | 16:44 |
| PCatinean | Isn't that a more secure policy, restrictive? | 16:44 |
| daftykins | PCatinean: i was assuming you meant services behind a home NAT router, so i don't know what you mean | 16:45 |
| daftykins | not listening at all on a given protocol you don't want to use makes more sense than blocking it | 16:45 |
| PCatinean | daftykins, a web-server with ubuntu 14.04.02 installed on it | 16:45 |
| PCatinean | why is that daftykins ? | 16:45 |
| daftykins | you ever heard the phrase "prevention is better than cure"? | 16:45 |
| daftykins | it's pretty obvious to me | 16:46 |
| daftykins | don't use it? don't run it. | 16:46 |
| PCatinean | Don't seem to fully get it but nevermind | 16:47 |
| rpm_45 | daftykins - hey there. no luck - still refuses to connecto to wifi. just does the 'connecting' animation for a while | 16:47 |

| JustMozzy | daftykins: same thing | 16:51 |
| daftykins | rpm_45: did it work in the live session at all? | 16:51 |
| daftykins | JustMozzy: ok and for the third time now - do you have an IP? :) | 16:51 |
| rpm_45 | Thanks OerHeks - I don't really know the first thing about Ubuntu and Linux so that turorial is a little out of my leagye. What are those things - bcmwl-kernel-source, dkms, fakeroot, libfakeroot? | 16:51 |
| JustMozzy | daftykins: yes, I do. ifconfig is showing everything correct. primary dns is also set to the router ip | 16:52 |

| rpm_45 | So do i need to get Dell drivers or something? There's nothing in the box - no disc, memory stick, nothing. I have no idea where to get them from or how to install them. | 16:54 |
| Ryvius | So to get 32 bits versions of packages I just have to append :i386 to them, right? | 16:54 |
| daftykins | rpm_45: well i'd call Dell support :) | 16:55 |

| Flabus | Hey everyone | 16:56 |
| rpm_45 | I thought so. Only got it a couple of days ago, so deffo in warranty. Although I did partition it and redo the Ubuntu install myself. Will they yell at me for that? | 16:56 |
| daftykins | only one way to find out | 16:56 |
| Flabus | My cheap usb adaptator is not listed on lsusb, can I do something to make it work ? | 16:57 |
| daftykins | 'USB adapter' as in what? wifi dongle? flash drive? | 16:57 |
| OerHeks | daftykins, then he needs these 2 repos at the end https://gist.github.com/dougo/9f2b212d4bdb933dcdb4 | 16:58 |
| Flabus | daftykins: sorry I forgot a word ;) a cheap GPS ! | 16:58 |
| OerHeks | but no keys in this post | 16:59 |
| daftykins | Flabus: watch the output of "dmesg | tail" before and after plugging in | 16:59 |
| OerHeks | sad dell does not provide iso's or a clear howto .. | 16:59 |
| daftykins | OerHeks: hrmm, interesting but it's an intel card so you'd expect it just to work | 16:59 |
| OerHeks | Haswell .. | 17:00 |
| rpm_45 | ARe you guys talking about my laptop, daftykins and OerHeks? | 17:00 |
| OerHeks | rpm_45, yes | 17:00 |

| yigal | In Ubuntu 15.04 I'm unable to resize windows with mouse in Unity even after specifying the mouse + keyboard combo, can someone help me troubleshoot this? | 17:01 |
| rpm_45 | When I first switched it on, a message said to create some kind of dell backup - and I didn't have a stick to hand so I forgot about it. Goddamn. Would hat have contained all the drivers I need? | 17:01 |
| daftykins | Flabus: is it in a USB 3 port or a 2? i'd try juggling it around | 17:01 |
| OerHeks | rpm_45, point is, as far as i understand: the Dell M3800 repo's are known now, but not the keys | 17:02 |
| Terrierbyte | Hello! I've just bought a VPS that happened to run without dpkg, apt, nano or anything else I need to feel comfortable configuring my OS. How would I go about installing both dpkg and apt? | 17:02 |
| yigal | <Alt><F8> works without issue however | 17:02 |
| daftykins | rpm_45: probably | 17:02 |
| rpm_45 | OerHeks I don't know what you mean by that, sorry | 17:03 |
| yigal | I take that back it appears there's some kind write issue, the values I'm setting in ccsm are being overwritten. | 17:03 |
| Flabus | daftykins: It's usb 2 and I tried the 2 ports of my laptop and got the same result, as on my mac and on my rpi... I guess it's kind of fried | 17:04 |
| daftykins | Terrierbyte: doesn't sound like Ubuntu then, sorry but we can't support things that are modified / not even Ubuntu. | 17:04 |
| rpm_45 | Also, my laptop has intel integrated graphics as well as a discrete nvidia card - I imagine I'm not getting any support for that nvidia card now, since I only have generic drivers or whatever? | 17:04 |
| daftykins | rpm_45: that'd be easily remedied, but not much point if the wifi isn't resolved | 17:05 |
| yigal | This is getting more interesting changing the keybindings for the Resize Window settings appears to also alter the Move Window keybindings | 17:05 |
| rpm_45 | daftykins - well at least I can connect through the wire, and I can get all the stuff I need for work. I'll have to speak to dell on monday morning. | 17:06 |
| OerHeks | rpm_45, repositories are libraries with special software/drivers, you can only access them ( safe) with the encryption key. those keys are missing. I guess Dell sends you to this IRC, but they have the info about those keys for "deb http://dell.archive.canonical.com/updates/ trusty-dell public" and "deb http://oem.archive.canonical.com/updates/ trusty-oem public" >> found @ https://gist.github.com/dougo/9f2b212d4bdb933dcdb4 | 17:06 |
| yigal | It appears these two are being changed as a pair, {Resize,Move} Window | 17:06 |
| OerHeks | rpm_45, mail them with this info, they should be able to help you further | 17:07 |
| yigal | Time for some Launchpad research. | 17:07 |
| sethj | I see Ubuntu 15.04 is back to ffmpeg (vs libav). Does that extend back to 12.04 and 14.04 as well? | 17:08 |
| rpm_45 | OerHeks so those links you directed me to contain drivers I need, but I can't download them until Dell gives me some kind of key? | 17:08 |
| yigal | sethj: as the primary driver for what? | 17:08 |
| yigal | sethj: I mean both can be installed? | 17:09 |
| OerHeks | rpm_45, yes, or someone her knows how to get those, maybe with the same Dell M3800 | 17:09 |
| sethj | yigal, basically, yes. libav has a bug that ffmpeg has patched so if I can just go back to ffmpeg it will save me a ton of pain. | 17:10 |
| yigal | sethj: what frontend are you using? | 17:10 |
| rpm_45 | OK thanks for all your help OerHeks and daftykins, I'm out. | 17:10 |
| OerHeks | rpm_45, i was looking wrong earlier, focussed on xps13 .. | 17:10 |
| sethj | yigal, what do you mean? I'm just using it from the cli | 17:10 |
| yigal | sethj: I use ffmpeg to reencode my phone's videos to properly sync audio/video | 17:10 |
| sethj | well, in a script really.. | 17:10 |
| yigal | sethj: just apt-get install ffmpeg | 17:10 |
| daftykins | rpm_45: np, good luck | 17:10 |
| sethj | yigal, I know how to install ffmpeg, my question stems from the fact that 6-8 months ago ffmpeg was replaced by libav in debian and thus ubuntu. Debian reversed this several months ago and I need to know to what extent Ubuntu as followed. | 17:11 |
| abhishek_naik | Hi | 17:12 |
| skydog | Hi all, I have "grunt" under /usr/bin/grunt, but when I execute the remove command, it says that it is not in the node_modules. How can I remove it? | 17:13 |
| skydog | $ npm uninstall grunt | 17:13 |
| skydog | npm WARN uninstall not installed in /home/skydog/node_modules: "grunt" | 17:13 |
| curiousx | sethj: ffmpg it's very active you could use it if you want, http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=FFmpeg-2.8-Released | 17:13 |
| yigal | sethj: it's using version 2.5.8, so perhaps quite old as the most uptodate is 2.8 http://paste.ubuntu.com/12370998/ | 17:13 |
| MrElendig | skydog: bet you didn't use npm to install it in the first place | 17:14 |

| yigal | sethj: I currently am using it on Ubuntu 15.04, so again I think I'm not understanding exactly your issue here? | 17:18 |
| yigal | sethj: by it == ffmpeg | 17:18 |
| sethj | yigal, I want to know if ffmpeg became available in 12.04 and 14.04 as well as 15.04. | 17:19 |
| PsynoKhi1 | Hi, I've been experiencing high I/O wait on a 32bit 14.04 installation, when e.g aptd or tar is running. I dualboot with openSUSE 13.1 64bit on the same SATA-drive that shoes no such issues. I noticed the problem yesterday, and the changes to my config since the last known good state are: installing the vivid-LTS kernel (removed with no change), installing virt-manager and its dependencies (now purged, no change) | 17:19 |
| PsynoKhi1 | and going from 8GB to 24GB RAM | 17:19 |

| ioria | !info ffmpeg trusty | 17:19 |
| Seveas | yigal: there's your answer. No idea why it wasn't in 14.04 | 17:20 |
| sethj | ouch, so I guess it's only in Vivid then. | 17:20 |
| ioria | yep and pangoline | 17:20 |
| sethj | Thanks Seveas! | 17:20 |
| yigal | Seveas: savvy use of the bots, and it's for sethj | 17:20 |
| Seveas | yigal: I wrote the bot :) | 17:20 |
| yigal | Seveas: ty | 17:20 |
| Seveas | I should know how to use it | 17:20 |
| yigal | Seveas: vn | 17:20 |
| yigal | Seveas: lol | 17:20 |
| ioria | sethy tou cn build it in trusty | 17:20 |
| sethj | yes I'm sure I could | 17:21 |
| ioria | sethy you can build it in trusty | 17:21 |
| sethj | I'd rather not if possible. It's also a j, not a y ;) | 17:21 |
| ioria | sethy you can build it in trusty | 17:21 |
| easyOnMe | does anybody know the linux command on the terminal to determine the file encoding of a target file | 17:21 |
| ioria | sethj you can build it in trusty | 17:21 |
| yigal | ioria: autocomplete users, what irc client you using, sorry off topic (:)) | 17:22 |
| pixxel | Hey! Someone willing to help me with my ubuntu installation? Currently experiencing some problems and don't know how to proceed. Made a ubuntu bootable usb via pendrive linux (tried with unetbootin as welll), i formated my previous win 8.1 drive and installed it normally, everything proceded like it usually do, but upon boot i only get a blinking cursor and nothing else happens. I tried installing it on a seperate drive as well, sam | 17:22 |
| Seveas | sethj: libav does exist in trusty. The package name for ffmpeg may simply be different, maybe it's in libav-tools | 17:22 |
| Seveas | !find /usr/bin/ffmpeg | 17:22 |
| ubottu | Found: W:, W:, W: | 17:22 |
| ioria | yigal it's not the client it's my 'environment' ^_^ | 17:22 |
| sethj | Seveas, yes, it's libav-tools. My problem is avlib has a bug that ffmpeg fixed :/ | 17:22 |
| PsynoKhi1 | pixxel, can you list your hardware? | 17:23 |
| Seveas | sethj: ah. That leaves you only the build-it-yourself route. | 17:23 |
| sethj | yeah, not fun. Thanks guys! | 17:23 |
| ioria | sethj http://sysads.co.uk/2014/07/install-ffmpeg-2-3-ubuntu-14-04/ | 17:24 |
| yigal | ioria: he's a gonner | 17:24 |
| pixxel | PsynoKhi1: Any easy way to create such a list from a live usb(that's what i'm currently running) | 17:25 |
| ioria | oh | 17:25 |
| yigal | I wonder if the 15.04 ffmpeg package could be used, I'm too tired to look at the library dependencies though | 17:25 |
| yigal | or if he has extra space a 15.04 chroot environment | 17:26 |
| PsynoKhi1 | pixxel, "lspci" from a terminal, paste the output on paste.ubuntu.com | 17:26 |
| PsynoKhi1 | then paste the link to the pastbin page here | 17:26 |
| OerHeks | " lspci | grep VGA " for videocard | 17:26 |
| pixxel | PsynoKhi1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12371455/ | 17:27 |
| ioria | pixxel, also sudo parted -l | 17:28 |
| rpm_45 | I had one more question: I reinstalled Ubuntu this morning - I chose "Erase ubuntu and reinstall". Would this have deleted all the previous stuff and installed everything fresh, or would it have left some stuff lying around from the previous installation? | 17:29 |
| pixxel | ioria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12371606/ | 17:29 |
| PsynoKhi1 | rpm_45, I beleieve it depends on your partition setup | 17:30 |
| PsynoKhi1 | believe* | 17:30 |
| OerHeks | rpm_45, yes, it will wipe all. | 17:30 |
| ioria | pixxel, you put ubuntu on /dev/sdb: ? | 17:30 |
| PsynoKhi1 | OerHeks, even a separate /home partition? | 17:31 |
| rpm_45 | I have a Win7 partition and the Ubuntu stuff. I was keen to not overwrite Win7 because that was a total pain to install. | 17:31 |
| pixxel | ioria: yeah | 17:32 |
| ioria | pixxel, and what's on sda ? | 17:32 |
| pixxel | sdb not sda | 17:32 |
| OerHeks | PsynoKhi1, he does not have that, standard install. else the /home would survive indeed | 17:32 |
| PsynoKhi1 | OerHeks, ah alright | 17:32 |
| OerHeks | oh, still win7 .. | 17:32 |
| pixxel | ioria: nothing now, formated, empty drive | 17:32 |
| OerHeks | rpm_45, to be sure, choose custom install, you will get the partition menu, wipe all, and press return to the menu you see now. | 17:33 |
| ioria | pixxel, you got an sda the boot sector and a swap partition (???) | 17:33 |
| rpm_45 | OerHeks If i wipe all, will it destroy Win7? | 17:33 |
| pixxel | ioria: tried manually selecting what drive to boot from as well in bios (one time boot) | 17:33 |
| OerHeks | rpm_45, yes | 17:34 |
| OerHeks | rpm_45, if you want to keep win 7, proceed with replace ubuntu | 17:34 |
| ioria | pixxel, probably grub it's not correctly installed .... | 17:35 |
| pixxel | ioria: should i perhaps try to format both drives 100% and then installing it again? | 17:35 |
| Flabus | i liek potato | 17:35 |
| rpm_45 | What about inside Win7, using Disk Management to delete the Ubuntu partition? Would that work? | 17:35 |
| pixxel | ioria: yeah.. thats what i guessed as well, tried to google it but only found answers regarding dual boot | 17:35 |
| ioria | pixxel, if sda is empty why don't you install ubuntu on /dev/sda ? | 17:36 |
| pixxel | sda is a normal hdd, sdb is a ssd | 17:36 |
| ioria | oh.... | 17:36 |
| pixxel | i can switch them around if you think that matters | 17:36 |
| ioria | pixxel, desktop ? | 17:36 |
| pixxel | y | 17:36 |
| ioria | pixxel, you can take hdd out ... | 17:37 |
| ioria | pixxel, install ubuntu on ssd ... and then put the hd in ... or you can try to install grub on sda | 17:38 |
| OerHeks | rpm_45, yes, but after that, you might not be able to boot into win7 again, as grub is removed too. | 17:38 |
| rpm_45 | ah, very useful to know, thanks OerHeks | 17:38 |
| pixxel | ioria: surething, ill try it, brb | 17:38 |
| OerHeks | rpm_45, it will be detected and added with a fresh ubuntu install, | 17:39 |
| ioria | pixxel, sorry... you can also install grub on sdb if you want | 17:39 |
| rpm_45 | OerHeks, if that happened, would I be able to use my Win7 install USB stick and start from scratch? | 17:39 |
| ioria | pixxel, by the way sda it's NOT empty | 17:39 |
| yigal | Ah my resize was resolved, those nasty keybindings in Compiz/Unity, {Move,Resize} Window keyboard + mouse bindings are linked, by default to button{1,2} respectively. | 17:40 |
| yigal | Anyways changing the resize windows keybinding to button3 with some non-collision combo <CTRL><ALT> works, finally | 17:41 |
| yigal | of course this changes the move combo also to <CTRL><ALT> but not to bad a price | 17:41 |
| EriC^^ | cool | 17:41 |
| yigal | s/to/&o/ | 17:42 |
| OerHeks | rpm_45, that is always your final solution, if you remember how you did this before, you said it was a pain to install win7 .. | 17:43 |
| === blah_ is now known as blah- | ||
| rpm_45 | OerHeks yes true it was I'd rather avoid that. | 17:44 |
| OerHeks | rpm_45, oke, so just replace ubuntu, and you'll be fine | 17:45 |
| yigal | rpm_45: I love my kvm passthrough, if you have the resources you should consider virtualizing your windows environment - super off topic, and still somewhat advanced | 17:45 |
| rpm_45 | Does anybody know what pkg-config and/or opencv are, and how to install them? | 17:48 |
| ioria | path-finder | 17:49 |
| bekks | rpm_45: Whats the issue leading to your question? | 17:49 |
| ioria | !info pkg-config | 17:49 |
| ubottu | pkg-config (source: pkg-config): manage compile and link flags for libraries. In component main, is optional. Version 0.28-1ubuntu1 (vivid), package size 38 kB, installed size 135 kB | 17:49 |
| yigal | rpm_45: basically pkg-config is used for building packages | 17:49 |
| yigal | rpm_45: opencv is a visualization software | 17:50 |
| rpm_45 | It seems I already have pkg-config, I need opencv. This is in order to install some other software "pkg-config or opencv not installed." it says. | 17:50 |
| bekks | rpm_45: Define "it". What leads to your question? | 17:50 |
| rpm_45 | "it" is the installer for a particular deep learning library | 17:51 |
| yigal | rpm_45: I think this is relatively the state of affairs for opencv https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenCV | 17:51 |
| Jinxit | hello, I have windows and arch in dualboot, but now I want to steal some HDD space from windows to install ubuntu alongside that | 17:51 |
| bekks | rpm_45: So can you pastebin the complete error messages, please? | 17:52 |
| Jinxit | without overwriting my current boot settings | 17:52 |
| Jinxit | any gotchas? | 17:52 |
| Jinxit | 14.04 LTS | 17:52 |
| yigal | rpm_45: are you using http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/introduction/linux_install/linux_install.html | 17:52 |
| yigal | rpm_45: for installation | 17:52 |
| yigal | rpm_45: that should work for 14.04, but ? | 17:53 |
| Jinxit | is it safe to resize an NTFS partition in the ubuntu installer? | 17:53 |
| ioria | Jinxit, you can do from win Disk managment | 17:54 |
| Jinxit | yeah true, probably safer | 17:54 |
| bekks | Jinxit: You always should have backups. | 17:54 |
| Jinxit | yeah but even if I have backups it's gonna be a bother to restore :) | 17:55 |
| yigal | Jinxit: it should be relatively safe | 17:55 |
| yigal | Jinxit: if you're worried resize in Windows | 17:55 |
| Jinxit | how about the boot, will the ubuntu installer overwrite my current grub config? | 17:56 |
| bekks | Jinxit: Yes. You can only have one grub configured. | 17:56 |
| ioria | Jinxit, what's the loader now ? | 17:56 |
| Jinxit | grub2 iirc | 17:57 |
| bekks | Jinxit: Installed from which OS? | 17:57 |
| Jinxit | arch | 17:57 |
| ioria | arch | 17:57 |
| yigal | lol | 17:57 |
| === Guest32 is now known as yuciyuar | ||
| yigal | Jinxit: the bootloader should recognize the arch partition | 17:58 |
| yigal | Jinxit: you can log into arch and reinstall the bootloader, if you want arch's | 17:58 |
| yigal | Jinxit: or use the grub loader cli but that's ugly | 17:59 |
| Jinxit | ugh | 17:59 |
| yigal | Jinxit: is it on lvm, encrypted or other gotchas? | 17:59 |
| Jinxit | my laptop has a history of not co-operating, bootwise | 17:59 |
| Jinxit | EFI | 17:59 |
| yigal | Jinxit: That's just not BIOS it should be fine | 18:00 |
| yigal | Jinxit: no promises | 18:01 |
| yigal | Jinxit: that's why virtualization is nice :) | 18:01 |
| Evaldas | Hello, How to delete grub loader? | 18:01 |
| EriC^^ | Evaldas: what are you trying to do? | 18:01 |
| Jinxit | yigal: you mean running ubuntu inside arch? | 18:01 |
| Jinxit | in a VM | 18:02 |
| ioria | Jinxit, not sure but you could install ubuntu (without grub) and update-grub from arch ... | 18:02 |
| Evaldas | grub doesnt allow me to choose any os. i want to reinstall it | 18:02 |
| Jinxit | I didn't see any checkboxes for not installing grub | 18:02 |
| EriC^^ | Evaldas: do you get a menu? | 18:02 |
| yigal | Jinxit: as I wrote and ioria suggested you should be able to just reinstall arch's grub | 18:02 |
| Evaldas | EriC^^: no | 18:03 |
| EriC^^ | Evaldas: what happens? are you dual booting? fresh install? etc. | 18:03 |
| yigal | Jinxit: I'm a virtual evangelist on most modern hardware, but it all depends on what you're end goals are | 18:03 |
| ioria | Jinxit, at the end... maybe it will query you ... don't remember | 18:03 |
| Evaldas | its shows errors, i can only boot xubuntu from my usb. | 18:04 |
| yigal | ioria: right, it always used to, but I'm not sure if it does anymore :) | 18:04 |
| ioria | yep | 18:04 |
| Jinxit | yigal: honesly my uni requires ubuntu for a project, that's all I need it for | 18:04 |
| metalice | Hi | 18:05 |
| EriC^^ | Evaldas: what are the errors? | 18:05 |
| Evaldas | i cant, remember now, if you could wait bit i would restart sys and copy paste it. okay? | 18:05 |
| yigal | Jinxit: I'm not certain you want to get into it but getting a vm going likely will be easier than anything | 18:06 |
| EriC^^ | ok | 18:06 |
| Evaldas | thanks. 1min | 18:06 |
| Jinxit | yigal: is it possible to like.. run ubuntu much like you would a server over SSH, and X-forward all the windows? or is it usually just a fullscreen application type VM? | 18:06 |
| Jinxit | only done VMs briefly on windows | 18:06 |
| yigal | Jinxit: it will depending on the network setup have its own tcp IP so you can do anything SSH/X-Forward etc. | 18:07 |
| yigal | Jinxit: by default it will have it's own ip | 18:07 |
| yigal | s/it's/its | 18:07 |
| Jinxit | and performance is okay? | 18:07 |
| yigal | Jinxit: it depends | 18:07 |
| yigal | Jinxit: what kind of graphics needs do you have? | 18:08 |
| Jinxit | pretty light | 18:08 |
| Jinxit | light openGL at best | 18:08 |
| yigal | Jinxit: likely even the defaults should work fine | 18:08 |
| Jinxit | like boxes and circles | 18:08 |
| Jinxit | what software do you recommend for the VM then? | 18:08 |
| yigal | Jinxit: what type of gpu are you using? | 18:09 |
| Jinxit | because this sounds a lot more attractive | 18:09 |
| Jinxit | intel integrated GPU | 18:09 |
| Jinxit | 4400 iirc | 18:09 |
| Evaldas | its says "Error: file not found!" entering rescue mode | 18:09 |
| yigal | Jinxit: ok, I'd just use virtualbox | 18:09 |
| EriC^^ | Evaldas: ok, are you in the live usb right now? | 18:09 |
| Evaldas | yes | 18:09 |
| EriC^^ | type sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 18:10 |
| EriC^^ | Evaldas: then type sudo parted -l | pastebinit and paste the link here | 18:10 |
| yigal | Jinxit: my apologies very off topic, for #ubuntu https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox | 18:10 |
| Jinxit | yigal: should I just install normal ubuntu or some headless version? | 18:10 |
| yigal | Jinxit: normal | 18:10 |
| yigal | Jinxit: should be perfectly fine | 18:10 |
| Jinxit | alright | 18:10 |
| yigal | Jinxit: good luck, but really that should work like a charm | 18:11 |
| Jinxit | brb rebooting and resizing, hopefully you won't hear from me again :) | 18:11 |
| Jinxit | thanks for the help! | 18:11 |
| yigal | anytime | 18:11 |
| TJ- | Jinxit: if you want a GUI in a VM, avoid Ubuntu/Unity. Use something like Lubuntu/Xubuntu, or start from an Ubuntu-Server install and add one of those latter desktop environments. Ubuntu/Unity requires GPU drivers with hardware 3D acceleration | 18:11 |
| Evaldas | http://paste.ubuntu.com/12372530/ | 18:12 |
| yigal | TJ-: I would have said that a few years ago, but the latest integrated intel gpus do fine with unity | 18:12 |
| noelia | Hello everybody! | 18:12 |
| MonkeyDust | i use MATE in vmware, pretty swift | 18:12 |
| TJ- | yigal: In a VM the performance is going to suffer, it isn't going to be using pass-through | 18:13 |
| EriC^^ | Evaldas: type sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt | 18:13 |
| noelia | Does anybody know why Burg doesn't go graphic mode on my laptop? | 18:13 |
| Evaldas | ErriC^^ should i restart now? | 18:13 |
| yigal | TJ-: it certainly isn't passthrough and it will take a hit, but for most simple processes it should work fine, agreed if there is a certain work load removing a wm with composite is essential for optimal performance | 18:14 |
| noelia | Or better asked: Does anybody know of burg replacing grub? | 18:14 |
| EriC^^ | Evaldas: no | 18:14 |
| EriC^^ | Evaldas: type for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done | 18:14 |
| Guest4723 | HI! How do I disable bind9 to cache and respond with ipv6 address? | 18:15 |
| EriC^^ | Evaldas: type the whole line from for i ... til done | 18:15 |
| TJ- | yigal: If all the applications are going to be X-forwarded to the host X server, it seems silly having the guest use a compositor | 18:15 |
| yigal | Jinxit: ok, I'm not going to deal with hypotheticals if you have any issues just let us know | 18:16 |
| yigal | TJ-: I don't know if that's the idea, so I'm just going to refrain from further comments, I like composite for obvious reasons transparency, scale compiz plugin etc. | 18:17 |

| noelia | For example, sora clean | 18:22 |
| PermaPissed | Ubuntu is awesome. | 18:22 |

| noelia | ioria Yes, it does work | 18:23 |
| PermaPissed | Ubuntu is so beatiful. | 18:23 |
| noelia | ioria But whenever I reboot the computer, text mode burg appears | 18:23 |
| daftykins | Norbin: is this 15.10 alpha/beta ? | 18:24 |
| noelia | Should I change anything in the configuration file? | 18:24 |
| noelia | burg.cfg? | 18:24 |
| ioria | noelia resolution maybe ... did you follow a guide ? | 18:25 |
| EriC^^ | Evaldas: ok, type sudo chroot /mnt | 18:25 |
| noelia | ioria I tried that too, changing resolution doesn't work either | 18:25 |
| Norbin | daftykins: it's actually mint based off 14.04 lts, iirc as far as xorg goes should be the same troubleshooting no? | 18:25 |
| daftykins | uuuuugh | 18:25 |
| Evaldas | <EriC^^> done | 18:26 |
| daftykins | Norbin: ok well #1 Mint is not supported here, as it has its' own problems - #2 that's a 4.2.0 mainline kernel which is more testing and not stable - and #3 it's using the FBDEV driver due to having some issue with the intel one for whatever reason | 18:26 |
| EriC^^ | Evaldas: type grub-install --recheck /dev/sda | 18:26 |
| noelia | I did follow a guide | 18:26 |
| daftykins | Norbin: so assuming you've got intel only, you need to use a stable kernel and find the #mint channel on irc.spotchat.org :) | 18:26 |
| Evaldas | Installation finished. No error reported. | 18:27 |

| ioria | noelia, did you install super boot manager ? | 18:38 |
| loki_ | how are you | 18:38 |
| ioria | pixxel, good job pixxel | 18:38 |
| noelia | ioria No, I didn't | 18:38 |

| ioria | noelia, anyway http://develop.alpdesigns.ch/pages/ubuntu/brug-and-theme-configuration.html | 18:39 |
| noelia | Why is it dangerous? | 18:40 |
| ioria | noelia, it messes with grub | 18:40 |

| noelia | ok, thanks again :) | 18:41 |
| noelia | So, do you recommend me to go back to grub? | 18:41 |
| ioria | noelia, yes | 18:41 |
| ioria | noelia, you can customize grubb as well | 18:42 |
| noelia | ioria Graphics a poor in grub, that's why I switched to burg | 18:42 |
| ioria | noelia, then try the link above | 18:43 |
| TJ- | CarlFK: it is the language/country locale settings to use | 18:44 |
| CarlFK | TJ-: that's what I figured. so all my error messages will be in French, right? | 18:45 |
| sifosifosifo | hello :) | 18:46 |
| TJ- | CarlFK: locale is not necessarily the language; it is also about number formats, datetime and lots of other settings. At a command-line type "locale" and you'll get an idea of the range of settings it influences | 18:46 |
| sifosifosifo | when ubuntu using wayland? | 18:46 |

| horaby | is there any way i can get a static public ip adress in ubuntu ?? | 18:59 |
| bekks | horaby: Sure, just configure it. | 18:59 |
| horaby | <bekks> How ? | 19:00 |
| bekks | horaby: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/network-configuration.html | 19:00 |
| horaby | bekks ; I tought it's difficult , you need to ask your ISP to give it one ?? | 19:01 |
| bekks | horaby: So you are talking about the IP your ISP gives you, not the IP of your computer in your LAN? | 19:01 |
| [n0mad] | ubuntu won't assign you a static public ip address, you would have to have that through a service | 19:01 |
| horaby | bekks ; yes public IP | 19:02 |
| bekks | [n0mad]: Ubuntu will configure every IP you have configured in the config files. | 19:02 |
| yigal | horaby: yah that's through your ISP | 19:02 |
| bekks | horaby: Then you habe to talk to your ISP. | 19:02 |
| horaby | bekks : there is no other possible way through router maybe .? | 19:02 |
| yigal | horaby: depending on your carrier, however it will could be very expensive | 19:02 |
| yigal | horaby: no, that won't do it | 19:03 |
| ioria | or dynamic public ip.. | 19:03 |
| yigal | horaby: what do you want a static IP for? | 19:03 |
| shinka | Where can I browse the list of packages for Ubuntu 15.10? I want to know if Cuda 7 (or 7.5) will be there. | 19:03 |
| bekks | horaby: Using a router, just use a dynamic public IP and configure a static IP in your LAN. | 19:03 |
| horaby | I want to run a server | 19:03 |
| lotuspsychje | !15.10 | shinka | 19:03 |
| ubottu | shinka: Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily Werewolf) will be the 23rd release of Ubuntu. Discussion in #ubuntu+1 | 19:03 |
| bekks | horaby: If you want to run a server at home, talk to your ISP. | 19:03 |
| yigal | horaby: likely you'll just want to get dynamic DNS | 19:03 |
| [n0mad] | most ISPs probably would require a business account to assure you a static IP | 19:03 |
| bekks | [n0mad]: which is untrue, as well. | 19:04 |
| yigal | horaby: and unfortunately most business accounts are rediculously expensive | 19:04 |
| [n0mad] | if you say so | 19:04 |
| horaby | bekks ; it seems i do have a static lan ip adress | 19:04 |
| bekks | horaby: "it seems"? | 19:04 |
| yigal | horaby: it's likely dynamically assigned by your ISP, it will last for a couple of days or so | 19:04 |
| horaby | <bekks> am not sure how to check that but when i do ifconfig it's always the same | 19:05 |
| bekks | horaby: Which doesnt mean much. | 19:05 |
| bekks | horaby: Check your config instead of ifconfig. :) | 19:05 |
| bekks | horaby: Are you using NetworkManager? | 19:05 |
| horaby | yes | 19:05 |
| yigal | horaby: one way of dealing with this is dealing with all traffic through a vpn service | 19:05 |
| bekks | horaby: So take y look at your configuration. | 19:05 |

| ubottu | Techspectre: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 19:08 |

| Techspectre | bekks, in any case, the latest 5.0 software seems quite different and I'd like to use the version in Ubuntu's repositories regardless | 19:13 |

| Geo | A random user on the box? | 19:32 |

| Geo | Start what server? | 19:32 |
| Rhino_Crash | Geo Whoever I trust enough to provide them with the access to the command :) In this case a distant friend. | 19:33 |
| Geo | Rhino_Crash, thats doesnt help | 19:33 |
| Geo | This person is a user on the box? | 19:33 |
| iNs | anyone tried using sstp-client on ubuntu? | 19:33 |
| Geo | How are you giving them access to run something? | 19:33 |
| Rhino_Crash | Geo No, the person does not know anything about linux. I can only teach them how to give the command. | 19:34 |
| lotuspsychje | iNs: ask your real issue with it to the channel | 19:34 |
| Geo | I'm still confused- how do you expect them to be able to run a command on linux, if they're not on the ubuntu box? | 19:34 |
| Techspectre | bekks, except when I do apt-get install virtualbox, it still gives me the unfamiliar interface... | 19:34 |
| ioria | mikubuntu, what's the issue there ? python enconding ? | 19:34 |
| iNs | i have the simplest config i am trying to use and it fails at handshake with socket error code 5 without any furhter info | 19:35 |
| youssef | monkeydust i typed it but nothing happens? | 19:35 |
| mikubuntu | ioria: not sure TJ- looking at it | 19:35 |
| Rhino_Crash | Geo I was thinking about some Putty based solution or something providing very simple server on my side for them. | 19:35 |
| Geo | or perhaps in your words, Rhino_Crash- where are they 'giving the command' ? | 19:35 |
| Geo | So they would be a user on the box then | 19:35 |
| Geo | They have to log into the ubuntu server, right? | 19:35 |
| MonkeyDust | youssef a new tab opened, the raspberry channel | 19:36 |
| ioria | mikubuntu, ok.. check if you have python-chardet installed | 19:36 |
| Rhino_Crash | I can make an account but the server should start under my account | 19:36 |
| Techspectre | bekks, oh, no, it seems this is indeed the older vbox. I just didn't recognize it because it's missing its right side info panel for some reason. But can you take a look at this output and tell me what it means? http://pastebin.com/zT4DPVFc | 19:36 |
| Geo | Or are you trying to say that they would be using YOUR login credentials to log in to the ubuntu server? | 19:36 |
| Geo | If you give them your creds (bad idea) there is no way to differentiate between you and them, so you cant limit usage | 19:36 |
| bekks | Techspectre: Virtualbox 5 doesnt have a right side info panel too. | 19:36 |
| mikubuntu | ioria: its to get blender working, i don't know how to check for python-chardet | 19:37 |
| sifosifosifo | hello :) | 19:37 |
| Rhino_Crash | Geo OK in theory I can give them account, that is not a problem | 19:37 |
| youssef | monkeydust it says i need to be identified services? | 19:37 |
| mikubuntu | ioria: i guess i could check with synaptic | 19:37 |
| ioria | mikubuntu, i see ... well dpkg -l python-chardet | 19:37 |
| Techspectre | bekks, yeah that's why I thought it was version 5. Anyways I'm going to try it now, but what's this about? http://pastebin.com/zT4DPVFc | 19:37 |
| Geo | To run something under your user that is started by a different user, there is a way to chmod the bin (+s, iirc) to your username, so that whenever it runs, it runs under your user | 19:37 |
| MonkeyDust | youssef yes, it's possible you have to !register first | 19:38 |

| lotuspsychje | iNs: users wont be able to help if they cant read full question | 19:38 |
| sifosifosifo | i dont have vt-x things ;( | 19:38 |
| lotuspsychje | iNs: best way is repeat once in a while, the whole issue in one line | 19:39 |
| TJ- | mikubuntu: You appear to have the correct encodings package there; that suggests that Blender or one of its components is incorrectly configured, and is not looking in the correct location for its Python 'imports' | 19:39 |
| sifosifosifo | my vbox is so slow :( | 19:39 |
| bekks | Techspectre: again: virtualbox doesnt have a rightside-panel :) | 19:39 |
| Geo | Rhino_Crash, is there a reason it needs to run under your account? | 19:39 |
| Techspectre | bekks, no that's not what I'm talking about | 19:39 |
| bekks | Techspectre: And those messages are about installing kernel modules used by virtualbox. | 19:40 |

| Rhino_Crash | Geo OK. I willmake a user, restric him some way and you say I can run the script as me? How would look such a command? For running a script as a different user. Say, i have script /home/me/script.sh and my user is /home/myguest/script2.sh | 19:48 |

| sifosifosifo | yes thanks :) | 19:54 |
| Techspectre | bekks, attempting to remove them fails because they're being used by one another. So I purged virtualbox again, to see if that would allow me to remove each of them individually before reinstalling it. Now, after purging virtualbox, it mentions those modules and says that it failed to delete them because there isn't such a file or directory, and no original module was found. | 19:54 |
| Techspectre | bekks, it tells me to use the dkms install command to reinstall a previous module version. So, should I run dkms install (module)? | 19:55 |
| mikubuntu | TJ-: lotuspsychje yes i get it, just that in conversations i've heard that there are quite a few important newer features and since i'm just 'trying' to learn blender thought it would be best to learn up to date. but lets face it, i'm prolly not gnna learn it anyways :P never seen so many tools in a program makes my head swim. | 19:57 |

| Papangelo | Hi, I'm a long time Ubuntu user (10 years). I just bought a new laptop and I can't get any version of vanilla Ubuntu to install (I've tried 15.04, 15.10 and a daily build of 15.10 from a couple of weeks ago). The machine has a new Broadwell i7, Intel 8-series/C220 chipset, nVidia GM204 GTX970m GPU with a G-Sync monitor, USB 3.1 controller, Atheros 1525 "Killer" WiFi and Ethernet. All of the installers kernel panic, | 20:00 |
| Papangelo | seemingly randomly, before they get the install complete. I get solid lock ups with flashing CAPS lock. If I manage (1 time in 5) to get the live CD running with "nomodeset" I sometimes get to see the kernel panic message. The couple of messages I've seen have been "machine check - error synching CPUs" or something I didn't quite catch involving a timout and the microcode on CPU0. I think the problem may relate to the | 20:00 |
| Papangelo | version of the CPU microcode present on the Live CD. When I managed to get it into live mode once, the Additional Driver installer offered me a proprietary microcode package for an "unknown device". I have managed to get Debian Stretch to install but it is randomly crashy, particularly when doing things involving discs or USB. I'm looking for help capturing the details of what's going wrong so I can file the appropriate | 20:00 |
| Papangelo | bugs and get myself going please. I've filed bugs before but this is beyond my level of expertise. | 20:00 |
| Tzunamii | umm | 20:00 |
| bekks | Papangelo: Can you rephrase your actual question one line? :) | 20:00 |
| Papangelo | I have a brand new machine with a new Broadwell i7 and the latest revidion of the nVidia GTX970m. I can't get 15.04, 15.10 or a daily of 15.10 through an install without a kernel panic. I think these panics may be related to CPU microcode. | 20:02 |
| Tzunamii | Well, we always complain about people not giving us the right amount of information to help them. This guy went overboard, but I like it :) | 20:02 |
| bekks | Papangelo: Why do you think so? | 20:02 |
| TJ- | Papangelo: OK, have you tried it with the current In-Development 15.10 Wily installer, which has the v4.2 kernel? | 20:02 |
| lotuspsychje | Papangelo: did you install nvidia-prime? | 20:02 |
| Papangelo | I managed a couple of times to get the CD to run in live mode. There was a microcode package offered by the Additional Driver tool. The couple of panics I saw in live mode related to "machine check synching CPUs" and a timeout on CPU0 microcode. | 20:03 |
| TJ- | lotuspsychje: the installer is dying with a kernel MCE - not getting nearly far enough | 20:03 |
| Papangelo | I tried a daily build a couple of weeks ago. | 20:03 |
| TJ- | Papangelo: OK OK don't repeat yourself; you've already given us everything we need to know :) | 20:03 |
| === francesco is now known as Guest19029 | ||
| TJ- | Papangelo: The reason I asked about 15.10 is it has very recently transitioned from the v4.1 to v4.2 kernel | 20:04 |
| Papangelo | Should I get the current daily and try again? | 20:04 |
| Papangelo | The daily I tried was from 28/08 | 20:05 |
| TJ- | Papangelo: I don't think there's much else to do right now. It sounds like a combination of new hardware/firmware and lack of quirk support in the kernel. Is it a UEFI system? | 20:05 |
| Papangelo | It is | 20:05 |
| jiafanz1 | hi, i have seem someone doing a presentation using a browser in ubuntu. Does anyone know what is the name of software to develop this presentation? | 20:05 |
| TJ- | Papangelo: At the installer boot menu (GRUB) where you can edit the kernel command-line, it may be worth adding "acpi_osi=Linux" | 20:06 |
| jiafanz1 | The presentation has powerpoint similar feature, and one each slide, an error down can lead to a number of more slides | 20:06 |
| iNs | has anyone succeeded in estabilishing sstp-client connection to windows server? im having an unrecoverable socket error 5 without any futher info | 20:06 |
| lotuspsychje | jiafanz1: was it MS powerpoint webapp for ubuntu perhaps? | 20:06 |
| Papangelo | I will try that. Thank you | 20:07 |
| jiafanz1 | lotuspsychje: ms powerpoint webapp for ubuntu? | 20:07 |
| lotuspsychje | jiafanz1: well we cant see, what you mean.. | 20:08 |
| Papangelo | Should I be trying to capture information about my problems and fining bugs or are these things that are likely to be fixed in the pipeline please? | 20:08 |
| jiafanz1 | lotuspsychje: yep, it is a bit vague I know. | 20:08 |
| jiafanz1 | lotuspsychje: basically a browser like firefox running the slides based presentation. | 20:09 |
| jiafanz1 | lotuspsychje: each slide has a down feature which leads to a number of more pages. | 20:09 |
| jiafanz1 | lotuspsychje: it looks very cook | 20:09 |
| jiafanz1 | lotuspsychje: *cool | 20:09 |

| lotuspsychje | Papangelo: did you install nvidia-prime? | 20:10 |
| jiafanz1 | akik: ok, googling now | 20:10 |
| rpm_45 | omgomgomg can anybody explain this? All day I've been struggling, researching, asking questions about why my WIFI won't connect. Now all of a sudden it's connected!!! OMG so confusing. | 20:10 |
| lotuspsychje | rpm_45: ubuntu version, wifi chipset and driver loaded please? | 20:11 |
| Papangelo | No, I haven't. I can't get it to stay running for long enough for an install to complete. | 20:11 |
| Rhino_Crash | Geo Do you have idea how could I restrict all at start and then allow what I want only? I mean access to the directory in my home folder where his script should run my server? When I ssh as my test user I can escape now everywhere i want, using mc or anything else. | 20:11 |
| akik | jiafanz1: reveal.js is another actually which fits your description better | 20:12 |
| lotuspsychje | Papangelo: maybe the #ubuntu+1 guys know more of this? | 20:12 |
| Papangelo | Also, it's not an Optimus machine per-se. It has two GPUs but they don't switch on the fly. In Windows, you hit a hot key, reboot to bring the other GOU live and that selection persists across reboots. | 20:12 |
| rpm_45 | 14.04, Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 Plus Bluetooth 4.0, not sure which driver, how do I find out (N.B. my computer came with ubuntu, then I deleted it, got win7 instead, then put ubuntu back on a separate partition - so i must only have generic drivers right??) | 20:13 |
| mikubuntu | TJ-: i don't remember why i decided to stay with LTS, should i just upgrade to latest lubuntu? | 20:13 |
| lotuspsychje | Papangelo: your card is optimus, so it needs the package nvidia-prime | 20:13 |
| lotuspsychje | rpm_45: pastebin sudo lshw -C network please | 20:13 |

| PsynoKhi1 | Hi, I've been experiencing high I/O wait on a 32bit 14.04 installation, when e.g aptd or tar is running. I dualboot with openSUSE 13.1 64bit on the same SATA-drive that shows no such issues. I noticed the problem yesterday, and the changes to my config since the last known good state are: installing the vivid-LTS kernel (removed with no change), installing virt-manager and its dependencies (now purged, no change) | 20:40 |
| PsynoKhi1 | and going from 8GB to 24GB RAM | 20:40 |
| mikubuntu | Ben64: don't even know where software sources is in lubuntu 14.04.3 anymore | 20:40 |
| nbuonanno | MonkeyDust: Did you catch all of that? | 20:40 |
| Ben64 | mikubuntu: it shows how to add ppa on the page i linked | 20:40 |
| rpm_45 | lotuspsychje which one - syslog? | 20:41 |
| Ben64 | mikubuntu: something like add-apt-repository ppa:blah/blah | 20:41 |
| lotuspsychje | rpm_45: syslog and dmesg are usefull | 20:41 |
| mikubuntu | Ben64: and after adding that, it will auto-upgrade from blender 2.69? | 20:41 |
| smacktalk | anybody watch netflix or xfinity on their linux box? I seem to have lot's of issues with flash. Especially when using the chrome browser. What's the best way to keep that updated? | 20:41 |
| Ben64 | mikubuntu: maybe? depends on package names. you'll want to install whatever package it shows on the page i linked | 20:42 |
| mrappie__ | just use XBMC | 20:42 |
| smacktalk | Chrome totally locks up my box, I can't do anything when the flash bug gets tripped | 20:42 |

| kulelu88 | what is the difference between "sudo apt-get autoremove" and "sudo apt-get clean" ? | 20:47 |
| bekks | kulelu88: clean removes packages from the cache, autoremove uninstalls packages. | 20:47 |
| PsynoKhi1 | kulelu88, "clean" cleras the local package cache | 20:47 |
| lotuspsychje | rpm_45: at wich time did you close lid? | 20:47 |
| rpm_45 | lotuspsychje roughly half past 9 | 20:48 |
| rpm_45 | OMG wifi just connected, as I was typing that | 20:48 |
| mikubuntu | Ben64: sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found | 20:48 |
| kulelu88 | How do I remove install-time packages? I want to install a package and then remove the install dependencies that the system no longer needs | 20:48 |
| PsynoKhi1 | kulelu88, autoremove uninstalls unneeded dependencies | 20:48 |
| bekks | kulelu88: apt-get autoremove | 20:48 |
| kulelu88 | so if I use both clean and autoremove, will that help lessening the bloat? | 20:49 |
| rpm_45 | lotuspsychje sorry a little bit earlier than 21:30 actually | 20:50 |
| PsynoKhi1 | kulelu88, depends on your definition of bloat, the commands will clear up disk space from stuff that aren't used | 20:50 |
| lotuspsychje | rpm_45: yeah found it | 20:50 |
| lotuspsychje | rpm_45: Sep 12 21:33:20 xavi-Dell-Precision-M3800 NetworkManager[806]: <info> (wlan0): deactivating device (reason 'managed') [2] | 20:50 |
| rpm_45 | lotuspsychje wow i'm impressed you can interpret that, it looks like alphebetti spaghetti to me | 20:50 |
| kulelu88 | PsynoKhi1: the reason why I say bloat is because these are docker images I am using these commands for. So which 1 should I use first, clean or autoremove? | 20:51 |
| PsynoKhi1 | kulelu88, though you can't remove a package's dependencies while still having the package installed... especially not if you still want the program to work | 20:51 |
| lotuspsychje | rpm_45: could try the intel site for latest wifi drivers perhaps | 20:51 |
| PsynoKhi1 | kulelu88, both are safe to use | 20:51 |
| kulelu88 | I think maybe autoremove first? then clearing the cache | 20:52 |
| lotuspsychje | rpm_45: need to go mate, hope you get the prob fixxed | 20:52 |
| rpm_45 | lotuspsychje thanks for all your help man | 20:52 |
| rpm_45 | bye | 20:52 |
| lotuspsychje | rpm_45: come back here if you cant solve, with your logs + prob to channel ok | 20:52 |
| PsynoKhi1 | kulelu88, apt-get will prompt you for packages that are candidates for autoremove, clean is something you have to remember every once in a while | 20:52 |
| bekks | kulelu88: the order of that commands doesnt matter. | 20:52 |
| bekks | *those | 20:52 |
| kulelu88 | PsynoKhi1: so autoremove requires a yes/no from me? | 20:53 |
| bekks | kulelu88: Yes. | 20:53 |
| PsynoKhi1 | PsynoKhi1, yes | 20:53 |
| PsynoKhi1 | PsynoKhi1, apt-get is not a psychic, you might be uninstalling a package to grab another version that still requires the dependencies, hence you have to remove them manually with autoremove ;) | 20:54 |
| kulelu88 | by prompt, do you guys mean "here is a bunch of packages autoremove says I can remove, select which ones and then yes to each of them" OR "here is the list we will remove, yes to proceed, no to not proceed" ? | 20:54 |

| baumy | literally none of the different ways I have found online to rotate the login screen for portrait monitors, using either lightdm or gdm, have worked | 22:10 |
| baumy | any suggestions? | 22:10 |
| daftykins | did any involve xrandr ? | 22:10 |
| baumy | half of them | 22:10 |
| baumy | the other half involved monitors.xml | 22:10 |
| daftykins | so lets say the system is at the login screen, if you SSH in and run an xrandr command - will it rotate it as desired? | 22:11 |
| SCHAAP137 | anyone know if there's a generic command for xinput, to disable tap-to-click on a touchpad? | 22:11 |
| baumy | don't have a second machine that I could do that with, but I have no reason to think it wouldn't | 22:11 |
| baumy | the xrandr command ive tried putting in various places just never seems to get executed | 22:11 |
| daftykins | ah-har, hmm - well that part would be beyond me too | 22:12 |
| baumy | and it works fine as soon as I log in | 22:12 |
| daftykins | what graphics card + driver? | 22:12 |
| baumy | this is an ubuntu 14.04 box, which I also have on my work computer and I have the same version of lightdm on an arch box at my apartment | 22:12 |
| baumy | I've managed to get all of them to work | 22:12 |
| daftykins | could be as simple as permissions? | 22:13 |
| daftykins | upon said script | 22:13 |
| baumy | I tried giving them 777 lo | 22:13 |
| baumy | l | 22:13 |
| baumy | to rule that out | 22:13 |
| baumy | this is just baffling to me right now | 22:13 |
| TJ- | baumy: is it using lightdm? | 22:13 |
| baumy | right now gdm, but I've tried both | 22:14 |
| baumy | obviouslt different methods depending on which one | 22:14 |
| daftykins | i would think a valid approach would be a hardcoded xorg.conf | 22:14 |
| baumy | graphics card is gt640 | 22:14 |
| baumy | nvidia proprietary drivers | 22:14 |
| baumy | xorg.conf was written by nvidia-settings and seems to be what i want | 22:14 |
| baumy | it would work fine to just login and run an xrandr command that flips the monitors | 22:15 |
| baumy | issue is that this machine isn't for me, and the user is somewhat nontechnical | 22:15 |
| baumy | needs to "just work" when i'm gone | 22:15 |
| TJ- | baumy: with lightdm, did you use "display-setup-script=" | 22:17 |
| baumy | yep | 22:17 |
| baumy | also greeter-setup-script | 22:17 |
| baumy | this config file worked fine for my work machine which is also 14.04 https://github.com/jebaum/dotfiles/blob/amazon/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | 22:17 |
| daftykins | mmm, i'd rotate their head 90 deg | 22:18 |
| baumy | yeah lol i'm gonna throw in the towel on this one | 22:19 |
| TJ- | baumy: I think I missed something through coming in late. This works on other 14.04 systems but not on 1 particular system? | 22:20 |
| baumy | there must be something obscure on this system interfering with this | 22:20 |
| baumy | TJ-: yes | 22:20 |
| TJ- | baumy: Are they all using the same GPU/driver? | 22:20 |
| mikubuntu | whats a good channel to ask about flashing bios? | 22:21 |
| TJ- | baumy: the reason I ask is, some outputs get named HDMI-X whereas you have HDMIX ... I wondered if it could be that simple on this system? | 22:21 |
| monty_hall | looks like flash works in firefox but not in chromium, anybody know why? | 22:22 |
| monty_hall | 14.04 | 22:23 |
| daftykins | monty_hall: which flash? | 22:24 |
| daftykins | "ah-aaaah" | 22:24 |
| baumy | TJ-: i dont bother to write those by hand, i use arandr to generate them. anyway i double checked and i'm using the write script for this machine | 22:26 |
| baumy | i can login, run my xrandr command to get things roated right and then log out, and the login screen will be properly rotated after that | 22:26 |
| baumy | just not at boot | 22:27 |
| zteam | Hi all! | 22:27 |
| baumy | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 22:27 |
| TJ- | baumy: Also, depending on which version of nvidia driver package you have, it Depends on nvidia-prime, which may have installed a 'display-setup-script=' override in /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/90-nvidia.conf | 22:27 |
| TJ- | baumy: I'd look at the logs in /var/log/lightdm/ for the greeter session; that should reveal the config files it reads and actions it takes | 22:28 |
| zteam | I'm trying to change my default video player from Totem to VLC, but it doesn't work correctly (by going to defaults -> Default Software and selecting VLC as my default player, the system just refuese to change it in Ubuntu 15.04, is this a known issue? | 22:29 |
| TJ- | baumy: e.g. in "/var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log" I see display-setup-script setting from that 90-nivida... file is executed by the process name it shows: "[+3.20s] DEBUG: Launching process 1151: /sbin/prime-offload" | 22:30 |
| zteam | and by not working I mean it still defaults to Totem, even after I log of and login again | 22:30 |
| baumy | TJ-: good tips, thanks. didnt know a lot of that. will look into it | 22:30 |
| kronosPhere|42 | Hi everyone, just stumbled on Ubuntu platform - Cordova, not set up yet does this allow developing for desktop too or is it for mobile only? | 22:30 |
| Kazuto | Is there a way for me to remove a user from Windows if I boot into Ubuntu? A friend gave me his laptop but doesn't remember the password, and I don't want to wipe and reinstall Windows | 22:33 |
| Ornias | how do i put the left near the right bus | 22:33 |
| treadstone | I'm a bit curious (after multiple hours of googling), has anyone managed to get Skydome to work with the cube (Compiz) ? | 22:35 |
| Ornias | just come to ##d3v01d. too much noise in here | 22:35 |
| treadstone | My Skydome works but is misshaped (picture is like a butterfly or something like that) - anyone has a thought on that? | 22:35 |
| mikubuntu | i want to instal lxle ls on an old javelin point of sale touch screen that my neighbor gave me before she moved -- if you can believe it its running win 95. anyways it has two usb ports but the bios doesn support usb boot. anyone know what the chances are that i could flash a new bios onto it - heres a 'screenshot' of current bios http://ibin.co/2FRIz5OKOf6I | 22:36 |
| TJ- | Kazuto: there are Linux-based tools to reset the Administrator password on a Windows install | 22:36 |
| daftykins | mikubuntu: looked into PLOP? the ISO that boots flash drives for you? | 22:36 |
| Kazuto | TJ-: You say Linux-based. Does that mean I need to use Windows? | 22:37 |
| mikubuntu | omg daftykins how cool is that | 22:37 |
| TJ- | mikubuntu: You see those ARMD-HDD/FDD entries? | 22:37 |
| mikubuntu | TJ-: yes | 22:37 |
| mikubuntu | TJ-: but i don't know a thing about them | 22:38 |
| TJ- | mikubuntu: ARMD stands for AMI Removable Media Device | 22:38 |
| mikubuntu | TJ-: the box doesn't have cd either | 22:38 |
| TJ- | mikubuntu: The HDD *should* equate to a regular USB mass storage device. FDD is a floppy disk emulation mode | 22:39 |
| monty_hall | daftykins: not sure what you mean | 22:39 |
| daftykins | monty_hall: adobe or pepperflash | 22:39 |
| TJ- | mikubuntu: have you tried booting from USB using AMRD-HDD ? | 22:39 |
| mikubuntu | TJ-: what do you mean *equate* | 22:39 |
| mikubuntu | TJ-: nope | 22:39 |
| monty_hall | daftykins: I guess I'm not sure | 22:39 |
| monty_hall | pepper is chrome right? | 22:40 |
| daftykins | monty_hall: dpkg -l | grep flash | 22:40 |
| daftykins | yep | 22:40 |
| TJ- | mikubuntu: Try it ... both ARMD-HDD and if that doesn't work ARMD-FDD | 22:40 |
| monty_hall | looks like the installer is installed | 22:40 |
| monty_hall | wonder why chromium isn't allowing me to view flash | 22:41 |
| monty_hall | definitely works in firefox | 22:41 |
| TJ- | mikubuntu: also, there may be an additional setting elsewhere in the BIOS Setup that enables "USB Legacy" or similar; enable it | 22:41 |
| stamak | всем привет | 22:41 |
| mikubuntu | TJ-: ok, but i think i did try armd-hdd last week, but i'll try again | 22:41 |
| daftykins | monty_hall: chrome and chromium ditched NPAPI support, so they won't work with adobe flash | 22:41 |
| mikubuntu | TJ-: where else, you mean on another page of the bios? | 22:41 |
| TJ- | Kazuto: No, there are several Windows password recovery tools. They are all customised Linux Live environments with tooling to find the Windows registry file and overwrite the password with a known one. | 22:42 |
| TJ- | mikubuntu: Yes. It may not be there, but if it is, it should be enabled. | 22:42 |
| Kazuto | TJ-: Ah, gotcha. Thanks! | 22:42 |
| monty_hall | but, chromium still does flash via pepper | 22:42 |
| monty_hall | if that's the case why a website not working | 22:42 |
| daftykins | monty_hall: yeah which also needs installing | 22:42 |
| monty_hall | pepper needs installing? | 22:43 |
| monty_hall | sheesh | 22:43 |
| daftykins | yep | 22:43 |

| Qukslice | Hello everyone | 23:01 |
| Qukslice | I've been trying to troubleshoot a pretty crippling issue and I was hoping that somebody here could help me | 23:02 |
| daftykins | not until you give details :> | 23:03 |
| Qukslice | I have a switch that controls whether my computer searches for Wifi connections | 23:03 |
| Qukslice | And ever since I've begun using Ubuntu, it's been constantly off | 23:03 |
| daftykins | ok | 23:03 |
| Qukslice | Sorry, I got distracted with my brother | 23:03 |
| TJ- | Qukslice: Do you mean the hardware RF kill switch? | 23:03 |
| daftykins | "rfkill list all" perhaps worth a glance | 23:04 |
| Qukslice | Perhaps you can show me where I can actually input the command | 23:04 |
| daftykins | the terminal... | 23:05 |
| Qukslice | Which is where? | 23:05 |
| daftykins | called 'Terminal' | 23:05 |
| daftykins | you could hit alt+F2 then type it | 23:05 |
| TJ- | Qukslice: Is it a Lenovo PC? | 23:06 |
| Qukslice | No | 23:06 |
| Qukslice | I have a HP Pavilion dv6000 | 23:07 |
| Qukslice | Also Daft | 23:07 |
| Qukslice | When I put the command in the terminal, nothing happened | 23:07 |
| daftykins | what does "cat /etc/issue" give? | 23:08 |
| Qukslice | No such file or directory | 23:08 |
| daftykins | it sounds like you are not using Ubuntu. | 23:09 |
| Qukslice | I am though :/ | 23:09 |
| daftykins | well, sadly i can't take your word for it | 23:09 |
| Qukslice | I have it on test drive to figure out these exact issues | 23:09 |
| Qukslice | I could give you a gyazo link | 23:09 |
| daftykins | you could hand me a smoke and a pancake but i feel like it's not gonna help either of us right now | 23:10 |
| * EriC^^ hands daftykins a smoke and a pancake anyways | 23:10 | |
| daftykins | 8D | 23:10 |
| EriC^^ | :) | 23:10 |
| Qukslice | Jezz | 23:10 |
| Qukslice | If you didn't want to help, you shouldn't have said anything | 23:11 |
| daftykins | it's not about not wanting to, it's about you not being able to demonstrate you're using Ubuntu | 23:12 |
| daftykins | thus i cannot help what is not the product we're in a channel for the support of | 23:12 |
| Qukslice | Why would I come here to ask for help if I wasn't having an actual issue | 23:13 |
| Qukslice | Why go through the trouble of finding out what the IRC channel is if I have no reason too | 23:13 |
| mtn | heh | 23:13 |
| Qukslice | Seems kind of dumb that I spelled out a specific problem that you wanted details on | 23:13 |
| EriC^^ | Qukslice: type lsb_release -d | 23:14 |
| daftykins | you don't know the half of it. | 23:14 |
| Qukslice | And that's why I asked for help | 23:14 |
| daftykins | perhaps it's not really the terminal you're typing these things into, since you're not coming back with results we expect | 23:15 |
| Qukslice | Well | 23:16 |
| Qukslice | You should be expecting the unexpected | 23:16 |
| daftykins | i suggest you drop the attitude if you expect to be helped. | 23:16 |
| Qukslice | I'm not trying to come through as rude | 23:16 |
| daftykins | did you run EriC^^'s command yet? | 23:17 |
| Qukslice | I just don't understand why you're refusing to help | 23:17 |
| daftykins | then you haven't been reading my messages | 23:17 |
| Qukslice | It could just be that the installer got corrupted | 23:17 |
| mikubuntu | TJ-: nope .. set to armd hdd and armd fdd for first and 2nd boot, but no dice | 23:17 |
| daftykins | no that's rubbish, the installer has nothing to do with what's running in front of your face | 23:17 |
| daftykins | Qukslice: now run the command you were asked to do, or you go on ignore. | 23:18 |
| TJ- | mikubuntu: Oh well, you'll have to hook up an IDE CD/DVD-ROM drive | 23:18 |
| Qukslice | No LSB modules are availble | 23:18 |
| Qukslice | Could it be because I booted it off a USB instead of a live CD? | 23:18 |
| mikubuntu | TJ-: somewhere around here theres an external cd drive ... somewhere | 23:18 |
| TJ- | mikubuntu: :) Or even a floppy? | 23:19 |
| daftykins | Qukslice: no. | 23:19 |
| mikubuntu | TJ-: i used to have a floppy and it *might* be somewhere around here .. lol | 23:19 |
| Qukslice | Well I already told you the command said " No LSB modules are available" | 23:20 |
| mikubuntu | TJ-: i definitely have a box of 'brand new' floppies | 23:20 |
| kostkon | Qukslice, try cat /etc/issue | 23:20 |
| Qukslice | Already did | 23:20 |
| EriC^^ | Qukslice: you're in a live usb? | 23:20 |
| daftykins | can only imagine it's not ubuntu | 23:21 |
| Qukslice | It said that "No such file or directory" | 23:21 |
| Qukslice | Eric, I am | 23:21 |
| EriC^^ | Qukslice: why? | 23:21 |
| TJ- | Qukslice: You have a Terminal open with a shell prompt that waits for your input after a $ symbol? | 23:21 |
| Qukslice | Yes TJ | 23:21 |
| TJ- | Qukslice: OK ... type whoami then press Enter | 23:22 |
| Qukslice | It said "ubuntu" | 23:22 |
| Qukslice | Eric, I had a spare USB | 23:22 |
| TJ- | Qukslice: Making progress :) I'm going to surround commands you should type with double-quotes from now on, to make it clear what should be typed. Do "/bin/uname -r" | 23:23 |
| EriC^^ | Qukslice: why don't you boot into the normal ubuntu and troubleshoot stuff i mean? | 23:23 |
| Qukslice | "3.16.0-30-generic" | 23:23 |
| Qukslice | Eric, This is normal Ubuntu? | 23:24 |
| === cbarreda is now known as _cb | ||
| EriC^^ | Qukslice: O.o | 23:25 |
| Qukslice | All troubleshooting I did with google wasn't suceesful | 23:26 |
| EriC^^ | don't you have ubuntu installed on the hdd? | 23:26 |
| Qukslice | Please, speak human pls | 23:27 |
| daftykins | troll confirmed. | 23:27 |
| jr_ | I want to encrypt an external hard drive via terminal. I did a bit of digging and the easiest way seems to be with lvm. Can anyone help me find a tutorial or find instructions on doing this? | 23:27 |
| Qukslice | Also, if you didn't see it TJ, it said "3.16.0-30-generic | 23:27 |
| Qukslice | " | 23:27 |
| EriC^^ | Qukslice: you don't know what an hdd is? | 23:28 |
| TJ- | Qukslice: Yes, I got that. I was trying to figure out why you don't find the file "/etc/issue" - it suggests a corrupted install | 23:28 |
| Qukslice | No | 23:28 |
| reisio | jr_: encfs is a potentially easier solution | 23:29 |
| TJ- | jr_: Do you want to do full-disk encryption? | 23:30 |
| Qukslice | /etc/issue says "Permission denied" | 23:30 |
| TJ- | jr_: It might be as easy as "cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sdZ" | 23:30 |
| TJ- | Qukslice: Sorry, yes, I was quoting the file-name, not a command to show it. You already said you got "File not found" when you issued the command "cat /etc/issue" | 23:31 |
| Qukslice | Lol | 23:31 |
| Qukslice | It's alright | 23:31 |
| jr_ | tj yes | 23:31 |
| TJ- | jr_: do you want to encrypt the *entire* disk before it is partitioned, or after (encrypt partitions(s) ) ? | 23:32 |
| jr_ | I want to encrypt the entire disk...and be able to use it? | 23:32 |
| jr_ | oh | 23:32 |
| jr_ | i see what you mean | 23:32 |
| jr_ | no, no partitions | 23:32 |
| jr_ | just encrypt it | 23:32 |
| TJ- | jr_: if you use "cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sdZ" then you'd have to either use the entire container for an LVM PV, or else a single file-system, or even a partition table in there. It's quite flexible | 23:33 |
| EriC^^ | Qukslice: why are you booted in the live usb and not the ubuntu on your hard disk? | 23:33 |
| Qukslice | Test Driving it | 23:34 |
| jr_ | TJ-: It also must be compatible with raspberry pi since im going to mount it on there and use it as external storage | 23:34 |
| Qukslice | Knowing my luck, I knew I would get a problem | 23:34 |
| TJ- | jr_: That rather depends on what OS is on the RasPi | 23:34 |
| reisio | jr_: going to be a lot of overhead for a raspberry pi | 23:34 |
| TJ- | reisio: not especially; I don't see any noticable performance hit with dm-crypt on RasPi | 23:35 |
| jr_ | TJ-: raspbian | 23:35 |
| _cb | Am using Go to power a web site. One of the things I will need to do is convert text submitted to html. Can easily do it in C, imagine it is just as easy in Go. Any reason to use C instead of Go? | 23:35 |
| TJ- | jr_: Then you will be OK; cryptsetup is available | 23:35 |
| jr_ | reisio: I know, it doesnt matter. i mean it does but...it's my only option | 23:35 |
| daftykins | _cb: that's a dev question, nothing to do with #ubuntu - try channels for those languages. | 23:36 |
| jr_ | TJ-: can you walk me through this? :/ | 23:36 |
| reisio | TJ-: probably because they're slow to start with | 23:36 |
| reisio | and slower is imperceptible :p | 23:36 |
| TJ- | jr_: If you're using encryption, it makes sense to randomise the entire disk first, so the encrypted data doesn't stand out in a sea of zeros | 23:36 |
| reisio | no, it does not | 23:36 |
| reisio | randomizing is a waste of time | 23:36 |
| reisio | a huge one | 23:36 |
| TJ- | reisio: no it isn't | 23:37 |
| reisio | an enormous, ungodly huge one | 23:37 |
| reisio | it is | 23:37 |
| jr_ | TJ-: Im keeping employees off of the disk. not forensic analyst | 23:37 |
| jr_ | not a* | 23:37 |
| reisio | randomization is 100% useless | 23:37 |
| reisio | it's 100% useless regardless | 23:37 |
| reisio | there is no situation in which it is not 100% useless | 23:37 |
| reisio | just saying :) | 23:37 |
| jr_ | you know what? I'm just going to do it over email | 23:37 |
| jr_ | that seems faster | 23:37 |
| reisio | now you're talkin' | 23:37 |
| jr_ | thanks anyway | 23:37 |
| reisio | do what over email, though? :p | 23:38 |
| Botchla | Kind of late to ask, since they /quit. | 23:38 |
| reisio | nah, maybe one of you'd know | 23:38 |
| daftykins | reisio: find out how to use FDE i think | 23:39 |
| reisio | :/ | 23:39 |
| Qukslice | So TJ, would it be a good idea to get a new ISO install> | 23:43 |
| TJ- | Qukslice: If a basic file appears to be missing, I'd say yes, if you intend to install from it. | 23:43 |
| Qukslice | Alright thanks | 23:45 |
| Qukslice | I'm going to try that | 23:45 |
| Qukslice | If that doesn't work | 23:46 |
| Qukslice | I'll just move on and forget about it | 23:46 |
