[00:00] frozenonline, this will put a text of what is there in home, dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages [00:01] thanks wileee.. [00:01] I'll check it out.. [00:01] np, you can use it for installing the set as well [00:03] I had no idea how much stuff was installed when installing ubuntu.. that's a lot of packages .. [00:07] I'm using an intel centrino wireless card in my HP 8440p laptop. It keeps messing up when trying to connect to my wifi. I disable power management on the adapter with iwconfig and works great. Is there a way to have it turn off in a script? [00:10] Hello all [00:10] hey kule [00:11] what's going on tonight? [00:12] Does anybody know of a combination of terminal/commandline commands where I can: 1) See the output of a file to the terminal screen . 2) save that output to another file . I need to save a continuously updating file to another file and then cancel the saving at a certain point, by visually reaching a certain point and hitting: CTRL+C [00:14] if the file starts from empty you could use "tail -f file | tee output" [00:14] so you want to see the contents of a file continuously while it's also copying to another file but when it gets to a certain point you want to it to quit? [00:16] frozenonline: yes, exactly that. Also, if I am fetching the file from a URL, will the command be something akin to: wget URL | tail -f file | tee output ? [00:16] AvatarA: ^^ [00:18] apologies for not mentioning the most crucial detail, fetching the file from a URL. Slipped my mind [00:18] I'm studying for the Linux+ certification. Could anyone recommend a free online Linux+ practice test that is current with the latest exam version? [00:18] if you're fetching from wget then it's getting looped so why not just cat it? [00:19] probably want wget -O - for that [00:19] or s/wget/curl/ [00:20] explosive if he cats it.. it won't give him the ability to send to another file or would it? [00:20] hmm, he could tee it [00:20] wget -O - | tee [00:20] wget does not use stdout by default is all [00:20] FastZ... checkout linuxfoundations.org may have some material for you there. [00:21] because it's stupid [00:21] I can use curl if that is better ? [00:21] frozenonline: thanks! I'll check that out now. [00:22] FastZ, only the exams are not free https://www.edx.org/course?search_query=linux+certification [00:22] explosive: so something like: wget -0 - URL | tee file.txt ... will (possibly) work? [00:22] Thanks OerHeks. I'll look there as well. [00:23] O(h), not (zer)0 [00:23] curl uses stdout by default [00:23] which makes it less silly [00:24] reisio: any suggestions for a curl alternative? [00:24] wget -O - [00:24] oh lordy someone help [00:24] no no, sorry, i mean what would be the curl alternative to wget -O - ? [00:24] how can we assist tonight? duckgoose [00:24] wget -O - foo is like curl foo [00:25] sane applications send to stdout by default [00:25] they call it standard out because it's supposed to be standard [00:25] (default) [00:25] I have a ubuntu box running (CLI only) thats getting internet via wifi. I'd like to share the wifi internet through the ethernet port on the box, but every tutorial I find is based on GUI [00:26] duckgoose: are you sharing the internet via the box or a router? [00:27] the box is connected to my router via wifi. I want to share this connection through ethernet to another router [00:28] sure there is a cli wiki https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [00:29] duckgoose: so you want to: get internet via wifi to an ubuntu-box that only runs CLI, then via the ethernet port, share the wifi internet to another router via the ubuntu box? [00:29] yep [00:30] alright. I think the problem is now fully explained, but it is orders of magnitude above my knowledge, but someone here might have the knowledge of it [00:30] this looks pretty complicated @ kulelu88 [00:31] it is duckgoose [00:32] what I'm not sure of is whether a machine/PC can handle parsing network traffic like a router can? [00:32] of course it can [00:32] so router>Wifi>PC>router>ethernet (and reverse) is possible? AvatarA [00:32] duckgoose: you need nmcli to get the wifi working with a cli ubuntu box [00:33] I have wifi working [00:33] on the cli box? [00:33] yes [00:33] explosive: he needs to connect another router to the CLI box via ethernet now [00:33] kulelu88, when it comes to linux, ANYTHING is possible, I hate it when someone asks something and someone else says it cannot be done [00:34] hey folks who here managed to import open vpn file via ubuntu plugin? [00:34] AvatarA: I didn't say it. I asked :) [00:34] maybe it's hard to do/complicated/not worth it, but it can always be done [00:35] duckgoose: try setting up eth0 with an ip === hexchat1 is now known as pshearer [00:42] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/1294899 [00:42] Launchpad bug 1294899 in network-manager-openvpn (Ubuntu) "Import saved VPN connection has been Recently Broken" [High,Confirmed] [00:42] was it fixed?

[00:54] this is way better im just below intermidiate and above new lol [00:54] cant find my distro i guess if thats what you call it [00:55] okay, that's a valid reason to not use arch i suppose :P [00:55] but the touchscreen should work on arch [00:55] maddogcz75c: this is ubuntu support [00:55] maddogcz75c: try lxle ubuntu [00:55] maddogcz75c: Please see the links i provided you. you just need to install ubuntu on your laptop [00:55] nudoge, lxle is not supported here [00:55] what's lxle? [00:55] is that like lxde? [00:55] suggest lubuntu, but that is not his problem [00:56] glmark2 score: 118 ...how does that stack up compared to everyone else?

[00:56] from what I can remember joufflu that is very low [00:56] Im running ubuntu and I must say it runs smooth and my laptop is not over heating but I cant get touch to work like two finger scrolling other than that its awsome === ochorocho1 is now known as ochorocho [00:56] desktop wise I would install arch [00:56] spaghettiman: tails linux ? Probably not the right channel [00:56] maddogcz75c, read those urls , sure it can be enabled [00:57] thanks I gonna read [00:57] @kulelu88 yeah but the tails channel is dead and ubuntu and tails are both based on debian [00:57] spaghettiman: synaptics touchpad drivers might be needed [00:57] im just all over the place since I somewhat know my stuff but still lost [00:57] that's my first and only guess [00:57] spaghettiman, wrong channel for forks [00:57] may be worth asking in debian also [00:57] @oerheks should I go to debian then? [00:57] I will say ubuntu supporr is WWWAYYYY better than arch [00:58] they would say read the wiki and go away [00:58] lol [00:58] we sure would like to help you spaghettiman , but the problem is that nobody else has tails installed (assuming) [00:58] anyone know if accutype is synaptics? [00:58] maddogcz75c, no we don't, we hate copy pasting, read it yourself. [00:58] so just for the record I thank all of you for your support cause you can easily tell me go away and $%*$ off lol [00:59] maddogcz75c: we didn't tell you to go away, but if a question has already been answered (and requires intense detail), it is easier to link to it [00:59] yea Im gonna go read OerHeks [00:59] no Im talking about Arch forum really they would say read wiki and not give info [01:00] Put it this way you guys are way more supportive [01:01] oh ok. [01:02] sorry guys I had to get that off my chest Im just about 1/4 inch below intermediate Im just trying to make linux work cause windows sux and so does mac no offence to who ever uses them but really you shouldnt be here lol [01:02] I just know ubuntu support is way better [01:02] and like i said my laptop runs flawless but touchscreen runs like crap [01:03] I like the extra crutch [01:03] just tell me to shut up and ill shut up lol [01:04] Ill give ubuntu props though cause everything just works other that my touch [01:04] ubuntu buggy network manager!!!

Aka feisty buttnugget. lol. [01:19] Hi, over the last week or so, my ssh connections to two 15.04 boxes now fail with "no route to host" errors. They had been working great for months prior. Both boxes can still be successfully pinged by both their ip and dyndns hostnames. Anyone have any thoughts about that? [01:20] I was only able to root it because I didn't do the recent update and there was actually something floating around online that worked. Ioroot does not work for me.ever. [01:20] I don't recall any ssh updates recently, so before "checking the plumbing", I'm just curious if anyone has noticed anything similar [01:21] I've checked both from the lan and wan sides [01:21] are auto-updates enabled? promet [01:21] Promet: where are the servers? Vps [01:21] kulelu88, no I manually update [01:21] Or on your lan? [01:21] lukastheblack, the servers are both "home" lan servers [01:22] I can't even ssh from one to the other, but ping happily succeeds [01:22] one to the other over the lan that is [01:23] Promet: what is the output of traceroute? [01:23] promet: try this maybe: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/no-route-to-host-error-and-solution.html [01:24] I have an app and the file are all owned by games:games. I am a member of the games group. I'm getting write errors to files with 664 but not with 666. [01:24] I've tried a bunch of stuff but any clue would be most helpful. [01:24] lukastheblack, thanks, will post momentarily [01:24] kulelu88, thanks also, checking that out [01:28] HouseMusic, did you just recently add yourself to the games group? [01:28] lukastheblack, hmmm, weird; well, not "weird", just never seen that myself before: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12496183/ [01:28] hmm today for sure, do I need to reboot? [01:28] I probably haven't since I addd myself, I've relogged though [01:29] By which I mean "!H" response [01:29] newgrp command, or even easier, log out and login again [01:29] np thanks going to try that immediately [01:31] Promet: that's new to me too, have you restarted either server? [01:32] I have restarted one, "/etc/init.d/ssh restart" which reported successful, but no dice on ssh connection. [01:33] whois OneBoy [01:33] I have downloaded 32 bit logstash forwarder , but i am unable to find it's extension. I am wondering how to execute this file.? [01:34] AvatarA that did it sir. I had an RDP session up to the server as well which I never disconnected. Very much appreciated. [01:34] Here's an, super obvious, but not until just now had I recalled, point. I just recently started fooling around with the enlightenment window manager which, on it's startup, I think, required the removal on gnome-network-manager. [01:35] Which I allowed, just for kicks and to check it out, easy enough to fix. Maybe though this had some "unforeseen consequences"? [01:35] ? === orfeo1 is now known as orfeo [01:35] What's the output of "route -n" [01:35] what does "route" say? [01:35] gnome-network-manager and network-manager, now that I think of it. [01:35] I wouldn't have thought removal of those would have an affect on ssh; but, maybe? [01:36] lukastheblack, It will show your local network details, like gateway and subnest masking [01:36] why not? it is network Manager after all :) [01:37] Does anyone know how to configure 32 bit architect Logstash-forwarder? [01:37] Promet: What's the output of "route -n" [01:37] Server and box you're connecting from [01:39] lukastheblack, like so: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12496289/ [01:40] Promet: I'm cautious, but I almost want to have you delete that route for 192.168.122.0 [01:40] Hi, I'm having a problem where my screen randomly turns off and won't turn on until I go to sleep mode and back. [01:40] My PC is making weird noises which I think is the mic, anyone else experienced this? [01:41] regarding enlightenment window manager; no idea why that would affect "box #2", as it's, essentially, running headless...so... [01:41] * pressure679 thinks his computer wants him to speak to it. [01:42] lukastheblack, throwing caution to the wind has never been one of my problems ;) [01:42] Promet: route del 192.168.122.0. Are you bridging connections? If so, do NOT follow this advice [01:43] lukastheblack, though, I have also been messing with android virtual machine via genymotion lately, and maybe that is a route designation for android vm's via vitrualbox? [01:43] not shying away, just noting [01:43] well if he is trying to connect to 192.168.1.146 and 192.168.1.0 has netmask 255.255.255.0, in my limited knowledge about networking, it shoudl route correctly to that ip [01:44] Promet: not being familiar, but that sounds like what the bridge is from, may not be wise in that [01:44] maybe the routes on the ssh box are wrong [01:44] Avatara: I would agree, it's just very odd he can ping and then gets a route error on ssh [01:45] lukastheblack, hmmmm, so, just spit-balling, maybe genymotion android vm network bridges may be screwing with ssh/host routing? [01:45] Hey guys... interesting side-question. I have a 2tb hdd that died. I also have the same model right next to it, that is working. I tried placing the working-hdd's board unto the dead-hdd... and although it spins up and makes sounds,... it doesn't show up. Any suggestions? [01:46] lukastheblack, I did also, btw, try an "ssh localhost" and it gave me the standard "host recognition "man in the middle" warning, if you've seen that; in my network shenanigans, I see it pretty often ;) [01:47] Promet: it's definitely possible, if it's easy, it might be worth trying to remove it [01:47] maybe try ssh -vv and see what that says [01:47] also nc -vv boxip port [01:48] see if you can connect to other ports if you have any other services running [01:48] Knob: does it show up in lsblk ? If not, dmesg? [01:48] Avatara: great idea [01:49] lukastheblack, easy enough, genymotion is pretty quick setup/takedown configuration-wise (recommended actually, if anyone is into that sort of thing - current issue notwithstanding ;) ), I will play with this and see if it might bring ssh back up. Thanks very much for your input, wasn't even thinking along that line... [01:50] Promet: I would try avatara's advice first, it's faster and probably will give us more [01:51] I have a hunch data goes out from his computer to his box but it doesn't go out from box to computer, at least from what we saw up to this point [01:52] I think you're on the Right track avatara [01:53] lukastheblack, AvatarA, roger that... [01:53] AvatarA, thanks very much for the input as well, much appreciated... [01:53] I can't figure out what's causing my screen to go dark. Could someone check my dmesg? http://pastebin.com/urc9LBhL [01:53] and we didn't even ask what sits between those [01:53] because it can be a router problem as well [01:54] But that shouldn't be an actual Routing problem if it's on the same segment [01:54] Though the router could certainly be the core of it [01:56] what is a good place to watch hurtcore? [01:56] what i need is to see kiddies being bonded with rope, gagged and whipped [01:56] all the hurtcore links i have are down :( [01:56] AvatarA, output of "ssh -vv" to "box #2 ("headless one")" from "box #1 (all lan)" - seemingly, not very revealing: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12496453/ [01:57] nc ? [01:59] AvatarA, results of "nc -vv": http://paste.ubuntu.com/12496507/ [02:01] So you're connecting to ssh on port 6784? [02:01] <[n0mad]> port blocked? firewall? port forwarding on the router? [02:01] lukastheblack, "NC - BSD General Commands Manual NC(1) NAME : nc — arbitrary TCP and UDP connections and listens" [02:02] yeah, see what 'route' says on that box [02:02] lukastheblack, yes, 6784 is the correct port for box #2 [02:03] okay guys. I've got a few dealies that need dealing [02:03] how do ii add users on the command line that are secure from root access? [02:03] router, which, for these boxes, forwards a range of ports, is the same as prior working config. [02:03] Promet: in box 2, netstat -at and confirm it's listing on that port [02:04] was working suspiciously well, actually; desktop to desktop, android to desktop, etc, etc. which is why I'm confused... [02:04] Old1: do they need to have sudo access? [02:04] from what I understand, gnome-network-manager was removed from that ssh box, right? [02:04] lukastheblack, will try that... [02:05] Anyone got a good GIF viewer - I'd like the ability to zoom and have a frame-by-frame display - and the ability to have gifs show icons in Unity? Possible? [02:05] lukastheblack: ok [02:05] no its to rujn a tf2 server [02:05] or does it [02:06] old1: yeah it will [02:06] Should be able to run without sudo [02:07] Volund: yes jpegddd [02:07] say i wanted to call it tfguy can you give me an example? [02:08] lukastheblack, kvm switch is actually disconnected and I don't have to fortitude to re-cable at the moment, will try that (netstat -at) in troubleshooting though [02:08] old1: cursing [02:09] Old1:http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-add-new-linux-user-account/ === charles is now known as Guest27261 [02:09] promet, please see my question [02:09] adduser blah blahy [02:09] ok [02:09] AvatarA, yes, gnome-network-manager was removed; weirdly, a requirement, apparently, of enlightenment wm [02:09] if that's the case then whatever other network manager remained/got installed changed your ip or other network settings [02:10] Hey guys [02:10] sorry useradd blah blah lol [02:11] AvatarA, total possibility, enlightenment is very "proactive" with system changes.; nice wm though. [02:12] it probably removed gnome-networking-manager because it has its own network manager and the packages conflict [02:12] I'm not finding any jpegddd [02:12] --oi [02:13] AvatarA, I'm going to try to re-install gnome-network-manager and boot Unity and see what's going on with that; may drop out as a result; thanks again for your help! AvatarA, yes it does I think have it's own network management scheme [02:13] what im wondering is how doi start the server/limit the users access to sudo etc that url was helpful but basic useradd knowledge [02:15] Old1: useradd -m -g tf2user [02:15] old1: you PM me [02:16] lukastheblack: you trying to ruin him [02:17] no i didn't your very vulgar yabdiotop [02:17] old1: who asked you [02:17] thanks lukastheblack [02:17] old1 when you add an user with adduser, it has no root or sudo access by default [02:18] useradd -m -g users -G wheel [02:18] then username [02:18] AvatarA: better? [02:18] Yabdiotop is very vulgar [02:19] LambdaComplex: now you got it [02:19] I think old 1 wants the user to NOT have sudo [02:19] Mr Freeman agrees [02:19] then `useradd -m -g users username` [02:19] lukastheblack: you insulting [02:19] so I can't run mumble on ubuntu 14.04. I googled the error it gave and apparently found an old thread about libqt4-sql-sqlite not being a dependency, but this isn't the case anymore. [02:19] any ideas?

I like you [02:25] lol [02:25] just an example [02:25] wileee: same problem [02:25] yeah but adduser prompts you to fill in all the details and takes care of home directory creation and all that jazz [02:25] Sounds more annoying than useradd to me [02:25] no need to go "low level utility" if you don't need low level stuff [02:27] wileee: any other ideas maybe?

[04:29] xnet, but previously when i was connected via DSL modem directly. i was able to ssh my pc from outside [04:29] citrix, just open port 80 tcp in your router to the ip of the server, and you will need no domain name, ip will do [04:29] wvirxjf, yes i am fine with that. [04:29] citrix: IP address will work, domain name NOT required... [04:29] intern wan ip that is [04:29] yes you can ssh your pc anywhere [04:29] ssh always works from outside. Http doesn't. [04:30] yes from internet ip [04:30] as long you create a port forwarding on your router [04:30] ssh only works if you open the correct ports. [04:30] i had opened 22 and 8080 [04:30] which is port 22 [04:30] for ssh [04:30] https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/index.html [04:31] but that does not mean you can host a sever outside your network without a domain name [04:31] For http which port i need ?? Port 80 [04:32] yes [04:32] ok [04:32] but if i were you i would set it up to port 443 [04:32] again: you will need no domain name, ip will do [04:32] which is https [04:33] but you can also do both [04:34] yes a domain which is a name that will be translated into your public ip === jasoniumh_ is now known as jasoniumh [04:36] I'm new to linux, so I've never updated a program before.

[06:35] jasonj8: i can try that i guess, but how do i switch nvidia settings back to the embedded intel graphics card for now so i can resume my graphical desktop? [06:37] when I was having trouble I just purged nvidia-* [06:37] That may be extreme. I'm not sure. [06:37] what does Driver Manager do? [06:38] oh well im'a try that... [06:39] Maybe blacklisting the driver would work too? [06:40] jasonj8: how do i do that? [06:40] jasonj8: oh well i purged nvidia, gonna restart... thanks for the suggestion [06:42] jasonj8: ok phew i have arrived at graphical desktop again [06:42] jasonj8: so you think installing the .run directly from nvidia can actually work? [06:44] regedit, Yeah, what worked for me was get a .run file from the nvidia website. Switch to a virtual terminal and stop the lightdm service, run the .run file and install the drivers, and then start lightdm up. [06:44] jasonj8: i think my particular flavor/distro (Kubuntu 15.04) runds "sddm" in contrast to lightdm, i think [06:45] same process? [06:45] No idea. Probably. [06:46] I'm not a normal help person here, but I happen to have a little experience with the frustration of nvidia drivers on Ubuntu.

DON'T close your terminal windows? [07:59] i close them by accident [07:59] azizLIGHT, stop doing that. [07:59] it closed my program [07:59] it was a mistake [07:59] azizLIGHT, ok. open a new terminal and try again [08:03] what is the command to detach a running program from the terminal window [08:06] Hi azizLIGHT, you can use "screen" command [08:07] azizLIGHT: Ctrl+Z to stop the running program, then "bg" to continue it in the background. [08:08] what about disown [08:08] theres no man entry for it [08:09] someone here know about a terminal where i can bookmark commands, and maybe also review the command logs with a gui? [08:10] you can alias commands krizoek [08:10] azizLIGHT: It's a shell builtin, see e.g. bash(1) [08:10] Use it if you want your program to continue even if you close the terminal. [08:10] to bookmark commands with a familiar name try alias [08:10] is there a alias editor? [08:11] you can shove your alias in .bashrc [08:11] and edit that file [08:11] ok, ty [08:11] you can put multiple aliases in your .bashrc and have a bunch of favorite commands with easy to remember names [08:13] do i need to reload after a edit? [08:13] tos-1: well i did sudo wireshark &, but it goes to background and doesnt ask for password. i type fg, and got password prompt, entered password, wireshark launches, now i did ctrl-z on terminal, and then did disown and it said something i didnt notice it, and when i closed the terminal window, wireshark got killed [08:14] krizoek: .bashrc gets loaded on login. you can try to open a new bash and see if it worked [08:14] krizoek: if you use screen, try opening a new window [08:18] that worked nicely, ty [08:18] :D [08:18] krizoek: for commands log, you can read .bash_history [08:19] azizLIGHT: That's because your job was still suspended. You forgot to continue it using "bg". Don't fork the sudo command. You could use gksu(1), it's a graphical frontend to sudo. [08:19] it might be limited, im not sure? [08:19] *for sudo [08:19] but ill still have to disown gksu [08:19] right? [08:20] it would be nice with a gui where i could add buttons as the shortcuts too [08:20] If you don't keep your terminal window open: Yes. [08:20] tos-1: nice that works great!

[13:36] It only doesnt work at home, and home is not campus. [13:36] Anthaas, sounds like your home ISP needs to configured [13:36] My other devices work at home. I dont know if that should be mentioned?

[13:40] Anthaas: he's been rude in the first place [13:41] not competitive answer [13:41] He is trying to help you - he is allowed to. [13:41] is there a way to cancel a reboot, ie. if i accidentally type "reboot" in the wrong window or something? [13:41] well, I WAS trying to help ... [13:41] Anthaas: he allowed to be rude when helping :D? s'rsly? [13:41] anyway [13:41] Sure, why not? [13:41] :0 [13:42] Anthaas: get some book about morals maybe i can recommend one [13:42] Does anyone know what I can do to get my browser working? I am fairly certain it is because of my network settings. [13:42] in rhel it's: yum whatprovides '*bin/grep' [13:42] I really don't know what to do about this. update-grub complained it couldn't find the device, even though it was mounted and chrooted [13:42] in debian it;s..? [13:42] Maybe I did chroot wrong.. [13:42] I did 'sudo chroot drive' [13:42] holms: He could alternatively just not help you? Then you could get a book on finding less? [13:42] tried plenty of "books" didn't find any [13:43] i'm asking quite basic thing [13:43] the worst is to help when you don't know, or don't even know what you talking about [13:43] wasting time of others.. [13:43] going to #debian, there's more linux "users" in here, more devops [13:44] lol when he says he is using Ubuntu they will just send him back [13:44] hehe lolz [13:44] Anthaas, have you had network access anywhere other than school? [13:45] Nope :/ [13:45] I have only tried here and Uni [13:45] Anthaas, starbucks, wifi, somewhere. I'd like to think that you aren't limited to the school network, but it IS a school computer so .... [13:46] Oh no, it has been given so that I CAN use it everywhere. [13:46] I will be travelling internationally too - they know this. [13:46] I have an admin account etc. [13:46] Anthaas, but you've not tested or verified this ... (appeal to the higher reasoning you have most assuredly been learning. right? RIGHT?) [13:48] Hmm. I do have an admin/root account. I know this much. I am in visudo. [13:48] I can perform root commands. [13:48] Anthaas, 1 more question. can't get wifi and or cant' get a hardwire connection? [13:48] wifi, not tried wired. [13:49] ... [13:49] There is a network proxy set up. [13:49] Also* [13:50] Anthaas, you know what? might just be more sensible to take this up with your uni IT department.

Or do you want to customise a system that's already installed? [14:15] rory, live cd [14:15] Austin___: the only other thing that comes to mind is if you used any sort of python package management system (is it pip?) [14:16] hypermist: ahh I haven't done that for a while. I vaguely remember a tool called ubuntu-builder but I don't know if it is up-to-date [14:16] I think i have used pip, yes [14:16] hypermist: Looks like Ubuntu Customisation Kit is the new hotness, and has replaced ubuntu-builder. That Wiki link you already posted will serve you well [14:17] Good xD [14:17] Austin___: if pip is used to install python modules then you may be missing one that is required [14:17] If i could i'd make a vm of ubuntu to do it that way [14:17] auronandace: have you seen the errors apt-get shows? [14:18] Austin___: from your previous pastebin yes, that is what made me think of pip [14:18] Can someone help me - I cant connect to the internet. [14:19] auronandace: ah, thanks. Maybe just reinstalling python would solve this? I've got no attachment to any version of python [14:19] Austin___: purging python and reinstalling it sounds like e next best step [14:19] just sudo apt-get purge python? [14:20] auronandace: ^^ [14:20] My laptop is connected to my network, and my network is connected to the internet, but I cannot open any websites in a browser. [14:21] Austin___, first: dpkg -l python and show the version # [14:21] Austin___: that looks right to me, i've never needed to purge anything before, but that's likely because i never use software from outside the repos [14:21] 2.7.5 [14:21] same same [14:22] I can't find the kernel-doc package in ubuntu.

[14:34] oh wow, sudo apt-get purge python is not possible because it has unmet python dependencies... :S [14:34] try [14:35] stefanojj: I'll do that thanks.

[14:35] dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of python: [14:37] Austin___, this is weird. python comes with ubuntu by default so unless you installed from some off-brand repo or did some exotic type stuff, this should be 100% routine [14:37] cfhowlett: my thoughts exactly. I've got no idea what could have happened [14:38] Austin___, was this a fresh install? did you upgrade from a previous version? any other issues? [14:38] when i installed it was a fresh install. this machine has been plugging away under my desk for about 2 years [14:39] ciao [14:39] This was provoked by a sudo apt-get upgrade AFAIK [14:39] lightair, http://www.unixmen.com/how-to-install-iredmail-mail-server-in-linux/ [14:39] Austin___, truly weird. sorry but I don't have a fix suggestion. [14:39] whats worse, is my mahine is in recovery mode, on an previous kernel, but i can't remove the new one and reinstall because of this python issue [14:39] no problem [14:40] Austin___, nuclear option: reinstall [14:40] lightair: why not change it after installation [14:40] hmm [14:41] it seemed like that was a bad decision at the start because it'll take so long to set up again [14:41] but now...

[14:46] on mine when i was on 64 my sdcard would not work [14:46] yes actually 32bits give you more memory room [14:47] stefanojj: Really? I didn't know that. I thought any 32-bit OS would be limited to max 4GB memory. [14:48] no [14:48] stefanojj: Okay great.

[17:30] i guess so...this is what im trying to use https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup.html [17:30] which requires java [17:31] !java [17:31] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [17:31] so why don't you install elasticsearch package? [17:31] it will automatically pull in the dependencies [17:31] gambl0re: I'd try the openjdk packages first [17:31] or do as AvatarA said [17:33] gambl0re, you can use 'sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre' for the jre if you need the jdk use 'sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk' [17:33] ok thanks [17:34] How do i address a specific splitted pane in a tmux session with send-keys? [17:34] I installed it last week, i'm not sure they had an apt package [17:34] but all you should need to do is install java and maybe set JAVA_HOME [17:34] gambl0re, I used Oracle's JDK but it's not provided by default in Ubuntu. If you want to us it you will need to add a ppa [17:34] *use [17:35] im a beginner with ubuntu, i just want the quickets solutin to install java [17:35] gambl0re, jdk or jre? [17:35] gambl0re, then follow the repos and forget the ppa [17:36] gambl0re: webupd8 has a PPA to install oracle java easily [17:36] Elasticsearch is built using Java, and requires at least Java 7 in order to run. Only Oracle’s Java and the OpenJDK are supported. The same JVM version should be used on all Elasticsearch nodes and clients. [17:36] gambl0re, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java for the Oracle's JDK if you choose it [17:37] so i guess they're lookging for jdk [17:37] so this command should work sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk [17:38] geeeeez... just sudo apt-get install elasticsearch [17:38] it will automatically install java [17:38] gambl0re, that command will work, but Oracle's JDK is the official JDK [17:39] oh really? [17:39] why didnt you just say so.. [17:39] gambl0re: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer use TAB and ENTER to accept the license [17:39] gambl0re, I did... [17:39] Super easy [17:39] im running,sudo apt-get install elasticsearch [17:40] run it, you don't need any ppa for this package [17:40] as usual!!! E: Unable to locate package elasticsearch [17:40] !find elasticsearch [17:40] Found: elasticsearch, php-horde-elasticsearch, python-elasticsearch, python-elasticsearch-doc, python3-elasticsearch, ruby-elasticsearch, ruby-elasticsearch-api, ruby-elasticsearch-transport, syslog-ng-mod-elasticsearch, W: (and 2 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=elasticsearch&searchon=names&suite=vivid§ion=all [17:40] what a suprise [17:41] gambl0re, sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre / sudo apt-get install python-software-properties / sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java / sudo apt-get update / sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer [17:41] gambl0re: depends how you want to use it [17:41] aedend: why openjdk if you are going to then install the Oracle solution? [17:41] gambl0re, are you trusty ? [17:42] trusty? [17:42] im root user if thats what you mean [17:42] gambl0re, are you 10.04 ? [17:42] gambl0re, are you 14.04 ? [17:42] gambl0re: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [17:42] I just assume everybody has access to the latest packages... [17:42] !info elasticsearch trusty [17:42] Package elasticsearch does not exist in trusty [17:42] yes [17:42] !info elasticsearch [17:42] elasticsearch (source: elasticsearch): Open Source, Distributed, RESTful Search Engine. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.3+dfsg-5+deb8u1build0.15.04.1 (vivid), package size 10250 kB, installed size 12015 kB [17:42] im using 14.04 [17:43] AvatarA: in Ubuntu, it's rarely the case [17:43] gambl0re, no elasticserach :( [17:43] ActionParsnip, openjdk-7-jre openjdk-7-jdk if you want both [17:43] what the fuck...i cant use elasticserach? === TheMaster is now known as Guest73733 [17:44] gambl0re: download it from their website and install it using dpkg, it's easy [17:44] aedend: yes but your command then installs Oracle Java, so why install OpenJDK? It's a waste of drive space [17:44] !find elasticsearch trusty [17:44] Found: php-horde-elasticsearch [17:45] https://www.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch [17:45] ActionParsnip, I might have type slower than my brain was working... I was trying to explain the options available and the difference between what's in the repos and what's not [17:45] ok so since im using ubuntu i download the tar file? [17:45] gambl0re: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.4/setup-repositories.html there is a PPA. Just follow the steps on that page [17:46] every second my ubuntu machine is making a DNS lookup on its hostname [17:46] why is this [17:46] gambl0re, you can upgrade to vivid or you can http://www.unixmen.com/install-elasticsearch-ubuntu-14-04/ [17:46] and how do I make it stop [17:47] gambl0re: first command adds the GPG key, then a line added to sources.list then installs the package. [17:47] ok ill give it a shot [17:47] gambl0re: I hope you aren't logging in to the graphical environment as root [17:47] lets see what happens. hopefully it doesnt break my machine [17:47] no im logged in as user [17:47] oh problem solved in my /etc/hosts it had the wrong hostname for 127.0.0.1 [17:48] gambl0re: good, then you are not root, you just have sudo access [17:48] so if you put the wrong name in /etc/hosts for 127.0.0.1 it will do a DNS lookup for the correct hostname every second [17:48] what a stupid design [17:48] ok i ran first two commands and i think everytrhing went well... [17:49] no errors atleast [17:49] DJJeff: was it doing a lookup on the wrong name, or by IP? [17:49] when i execute the sudo apt-get update command is it going to take a long time to update? [17:49] can i skip that? [17:49] no [17:50] is the update going to take long? [17:50] gambl0re: no, you need to reread the sources so that the packages on the new source are known [17:50] if it takes 1hr+ i'll have to do it later on [17:50] gambl0re: the update stage is pretty quick. The install will be longer [17:50] i hr ? [17:50] should only take a couple of minutes [17:50] ok [17:51] gambl0re: are you using a dialup connection? [17:51] it was asking my router for the correct IP of the hostname [17:51] http://i.imgur.com/Vqh4YYb.png [17:51] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install elasticsearch....running [17:51] lets see what happens [17:51] i always get nervous when running any sudo apt-get commands [17:51] gambl0re: BTW, that link I gave... [17:52] gambl0re: all I did was search the Web. I hadn't even heard of elasticsearch til you mentioned it today [17:52] i did a google search also [17:53] but like everything else theres like 100 different ways to do one thing and i just wanted the simplest, quickest solution [17:53] hi, im using ubuntu w/ plasma 5 and unity on a 2014 mbp (ubuntu 15.04). for some reason, if my computer falls asleep/something (not too sure what causes it, because sometimes it doesnt happened if I turn my laptop back on fast enough) the wifi cuts out [17:53] and I need to restart my laptop [17:53] any ideas? [17:53] with windows, you execute .exe file and run the installer. with ubuntu you have to do like 10 different steps to install something [17:54] gambl0re: I'm not even sure how to respond to that [17:54] ok doesnt matter [17:54] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install elasticsearch is finished [17:54] gambl0re: there is a deb, it would install in exactly the same way you install things in Windows [17:55] yo people [17:55] gambl0re: you just added a source so that the application updates with normal updates [17:55] ok i still dont have java...shit [17:55] i thought after installing elasticsearch it installs all its dependencies [17:55] hi all - question for the room. i have a few php scripts that im running as a service. when certain actions occur they print/echo a message. is there a way with the console that i can 'watch' the service that is running so i can see its current state? [17:55] gambl0re, if you use a package manager like synaptic, Software Center, etc... it's only one step ;P [17:55] gambl0re: imagine if all your games and CD burning software updated in one single place [17:55] please refrain from cursing [17:55] gambl0re: it does [17:56] gambl0re: I already told you how to install java using the webupd8 PPA [17:56] i ran this command... sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install elasticsearch [17:56] this installs elasticsearch, no? sudo apt-get install elasticsearch [17:56] gambl0re: yes it does [17:56] mobile broadband switch does not work :) [17:56] which should have installed java, no?> [17:56] gambl0re: if the package from elasticsearch doesn't include Java then it won't install [17:56] no [17:57] gambl0re: use the webupd8 java PPA and you will get Java [17:58] https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.4/setup-repositories.html [17:58] i did everthing on the page like you said [17:58] what command do you want me to run now? [17:59] gambl0re: so elasticsearch is installed now [17:59] gambl0re: you need to install java [17:59] gambl0re: so if java isn't installed, then it doesn't need java [17:59] i dont know if elasticsearch is installed [18:00] i didnt get any errors so i assume isntallation went fine [18:00] gambl0re: what does "dpkg -l | grep elasticsearch" return [18:00] elasticsearch 1.4.5 all Open Source, Distributed, RESTful Search Engine [18:01] gambl0re: that isn't the whole line [18:02] thats everything i get... [18:02] i dont know what to tell you [18:02] doubtful [18:02] it doesn't know what java install.... so it 's not installing it .... (maybe) [18:02] gambl0re: what's the output of "lsb_release -a" [18:02] ? [18:02] https://gist.github.com/anonymous/dc8fb6a680fa4360485f [18:02] why would i lie? [18:03] gambl0re: yes, you did [18:03] because that isn't what you posted [18:03] ? [18:03] that "ii" on the front was missing in your first post [18:03] oh ok... [18:03] gambl0re, dpkg -l elasticsearch [18:03] thats not a lie, thats a mistake [18:03] trying to restore my backup in ubuntu, but i don't know why i get logout screen [18:03] gambl0re: you need to follow all the instructions [18:04] gambl0re: no, it was you not following simple instructions [18:04] gambl0re: looks like Java is just for the client [18:04] ioria: he just posted that [18:04] it's installed [18:04] seems like it [18:05] tgm4883, oh... i didn't see the output... [18:05] trying restore backup, but while doing that, i get logout screen [18:05] where to see output to solve this? This can be that i deleted some files why doing backup? [18:05] gambl0re: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.4/setup-service.html [18:06] #ubunt-help [18:07] gambl0re: what is the output of: /etc/init.d/elasticsearch status [18:08] * elasticsearch is not running [18:08] gambl0re: OK then change the word "status" for "start" [18:08] gambl0re: obviously this will be running with default settings. [18:09] its looking for java. [18:09] Could not find any executable java binary. Please install java in your PATH or set JAVA_HOME [18:09] ^_^ [18:09] gambl0re: OK then install Java as I told you earlier [18:09] gambl0re: once that's in, start the service [18:10] im going to follow the EXACT commands under Installing The Oracle JDK heading ok? [18:10] @ActionParsnip i want to get help... [18:10] is that waht you want me to do? [18:10] https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.4/setup-service.html#_installing_the_oracle_jdk [18:10] on that page [18:10] gambl0re: exactly [18:11] "The usual recommendation is to run the Oracle JDK with elasticsearch." [18:11] I wonder how old that is [18:11] in addition to being unjustified [18:11] gambl0re: they are pretty much telling you everything on the page... I'm surprised you even asked. The page is telling you everything.... [18:11] heh [18:11] How do I check the total amount of memory reserved by hardware? [18:12] and/or the total amount of usable memory? [18:12] its doing somehing... [18:12] ActionParsnip can you help me? [18:12] there are like 5 different instructions.. [18:12] do this command, run this command, update this first, update that. [18:12] 1 instruction is way better [18:13] Augustas: did you chown the restored data to your user after restore? [18:13] Maybe no, i dont know how to do that. That can couse auto login out? [18:13] gambl0re: you are away from the official repositories, so you are getting the support from the elasticsearch guys which is pretty decent [18:14] but a couple of files are restored success [18:14] java is currently installing [18:14] hopefully this nightmare will be over soon [18:14] Augustas: yes, if you don't have access to certain files you will be logged out [18:14] gambl0re: it's hardly a nightmare. You just need to read websites more [18:14] actionparternship how much linux experience do you have [18:14] what folders i have to do chown? because i know that bad to give 777 permissions [18:15] or just maybe somehow run backup program as root?| [18:15] Augustas: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME [18:16] Augustas: this will make sure the user is the owner of its own data [18:16] * Starting Elasticsearch Server [18:16] gambl0re: and..... *plays drumroll * [18:16] i think success ? [18:16] Gambl0re: run the status command again. [18:17] its running [18:17] success? [18:17] gambl0re: yes, easy peasy [18:17] thanks man... [18:17] gambl0re: also, when elasticsearch update their version you will automatically be updated. [18:18] thats awesome [18:18] gambl0re: indeed. It was all on that site dude, all you had to do was read [18:18] reading is fun [18:19] llllll [18:19] your nickname is fun :D [18:19] running linux in a VM, didnt put a lot of effort into the username during install.. :P [18:19] i didnt want to make any mistakes... [18:20] i scrweed up my linux machine once, i didnt want to do it again [18:20] gambl0re: well you got there, 2 PPAs and install 2 packages. Quick and easy [18:21] hola [18:21] 'lo [18:21] Good evening! Does any of you use plex media server on Ubuntu? I have NTFS drives with movies and series on them for personal use. Since these drives are not the part of the fstab I have to click on them after every boot to mount. The data on them can be read but when I want to tell Plex that "Hey! There are two folders (and a lot more) on the disk called New Volume. Please add them to the Movie library" it doesn't work :/ I can see in [18:21] the library I made the following (as usual) "The library has no content yet. Click here to add content to the library." I click on it, go to the New Volume which I mounted, but I cant browse the files on it. Plex doesnt see anything... [18:23] bozsikarmand: why not add the NTFS partition to fstab if they are to be used? [18:23] folks for some reason ubuntu broadband connection greyed out [18:23] I did enter pin and unlock device [18:23] llllll why only on VM ? [18:23] enable mobile broadband box greyed out [18:24] Augustas: im messing around with i3 at the moment and dont want to make any big changes just yet. i have ubuntu on my thinkpad though [18:24] protn: what is the output of: lsb_release -a; lsusb [18:24] ActionParsnip, I will but at first I would like to solve this problem if possible. :) [18:24] any ideas? [18:24] protn: use a pastebin like paste.ubuntu.com to host the output [18:24] 1 moment [18:25] bozsikarmand: I think if the file system is mounted at the same place then you will see the system is smoother [18:25] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12505251/ [18:26] modem shows blue light which means connection is on [18:27] protn: http://bytefish.de/blog/huawei_e352s5/ just needs 2 udev rules, you have usbmodeswitch by default === interrobang is now known as roonie [18:28] Hello folks [18:28] hi [18:29] hi === roonie is now known as pellucid_banana [18:29] Hello! I've installed Dropbox on Ubuntu and it's working fine, except for one thing. It won't allow me to set the location of my Dropbox folder on a drive other than the one Ubuntu is installed to. Does anyone have any experience with such an issue? [18:29] hmm it works without it before [18:29] Aqui1a: could just symlink the path instead, is this dropbox-nautilus? [18:30] nautilus-dropbox even [18:31] daftykins: I don't know. I downloaded it from the website. [18:31] Aqui1a: oh, well that's not the way i've used it before. [18:31] so yeah, symlink away [18:31] daftykins: Thanks, I'll look that up [18:31] Symlink will indeed do it [18:33] That's a very good idea [18:33] added rules [18:34] reloaded, same stuff [18:34] I think its network manager bug [18:34] but I'll ask this first... I've just noticed on USC that Dropbox isn't marked as installed. Would it be better if I installed the one listed there? [18:35] Aqui1a: are you using ubuntu with unity? [18:35] daftykins: I'm using Ubuntu Mate [18:35] ah, does that use nautilus as the file manager? [18:35] it's up to you but nautilus-dropbox seems to do the basic job for a xubuntu install i have somewhere [18:36] I don't think so :D [18:36] it's a bit daft as nautilus isn't the default there, so if i want to share a link to someone i have to manually run nautilus to do it ;) [18:36] wtf lol === someon is now known as someone [18:46] hello [18:46] does anyone know of some good hardcore mmo rpgs that run on ubuntu [18:47] and just good games in general [18:47] I would search on steam and filter by linux platform [18:47] does anybody know about VPN networks? [18:48] and also search in wine appdb [18:48] quants_: A lot of people do - but whats your specific question? [18:48] hypernova: could try planeshift [18:49] bekks, sorry, i want to hide my location and ip address, can this be done without external software? [18:51] quants_: Hiding from what? [18:52] if you want to hide online, it's already too late :) [18:53] bekks, sorry im a noob i mean i want to improve security by changing the ip address etc.. [18:54] quants_: Maybe you'll hold on for a few and rephrase your actual issue, First, you said you want to know about VPn, then about hiding your IP, now you are asking for improving security. What do you want to do, actually? [18:55] daftykins: I resolved my issue. Even though I couldn't select the drive in the small pane on the left, I just pasted its location into the space at the bottom... and it worked. :$ [18:56] heh [18:56] that's the spirit === regedit_ is now known as regedit [18:56] yes hiding from what is THA question [18:56] :) [18:56] -.- [18:57] if you want to hide from your ISP you have some ways, if you want to hide from a server you're connecting to, there are some ways, if you want to hide from the government you have to disconnect [18:58] ok bekks, start from the beggining, i want improve my general security and ive been advised that having a VPN will help, i understand the concept of the VPN but i cant afford to pay for a service at the moment [18:58] quants_: A VPN will help improving security only for a few use cases. [18:58] quants_: Who told you that? [19:00] Bekks, a friend of mine, thats why i came to you guys , you all know what your talking about [19:01] hi, is there a relatively easy way to bind a non-root application to port 443 without causing issues with my SSL certificate? [19:04] sanitypassing: there's an excellent write up of that on stackexchange.. http://superuser.com/questions/710253/allow-non-root-process-to-bind-to-port-80-and-443 [19:04] hi. Does anyone knows how to recover the login password? I havent been use my laptop for a while and I forget the password [19:06] jerry-6: Here are easy instructions to reset your password in Ubuntu: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword . [19:06] hi! i am thinking of switching to ubuntu. is it safe to move 4tb drives of important files over from NTFS to ext(3? or 4?)? afterwards could i verify that this was correct somehow without worrying about read errors? [19:07] dirgeable_: You cannot "move them", you have to backup all files, then reformat your filessystem with ext4, and restore your backup. [19:07] dirgeable_: And since you are talking about important files, you already have one valid backup. [19:09] btw use ext4 [19:09] bekks, i have backup drives already so i would be formatting one, copying files over, formatting origional, and copying them back [19:10] AvatarA, thanks [19:11] reading from ntfs and writing to ext4 should normally give you no problems [19:11] so is reading from ext4 safe/accurate and how do i verify [19:11] awesome [19:12] you could create SHA256 sums or something [19:12] first on the source drive, then on the destination drive after you copy everything [19:12] and then compare the sums [19:14] AvatarA, thanks :) sha256sum /mount/mountpoint or w/e i think then? [19:14] sha sums for every file [19:14] not the entire data [19:14] dirgeable_: rsync'ing twice is enough [19:15] reisio, ahh excellent, ill use rsync then :) [19:15] can anybody tell me how to get TOR browser through the terminal [19:15] rsync'ing once is enough, really, but twice is nice for peace of mind [19:15] quants_: apt-cache search tor [19:15] quants_, you could configure any terminal browser to use the socks5 port [19:15] apt-get install foo [19:16] quants_, usuaally 9050 [19:16] sha isn't really meant for integrity checking alone, btw [19:16] it's meant for security, which makes it a waste of time for other things [19:16] slow down guys im a noob [19:16] but yeah, rsync [19:17] quants_, why the terminal anyhow if noob? [19:17] i guess learning rocks :) [19:17] quants_: Maybe you shouldnt listen to your friend who obviously throws random things at you. Maybe just start using Ubuntu and get familiar with it, first. [19:18] dirgeable, i find it faster if i know the code. im odd like that [19:18] thanks bekks [19:18] quants_: *shouldnt listen [19:19] dirgeable_ socks5 port ??? [19:20] so I have sound in mplayer (using pulse audio) but not chrome or firefox (with youtube html5 player). what can be up with them? [19:20] quants_: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOCKS [19:21] your screen graphics card and input device settings could not be detected correctly [19:21] i made sure to update/upgrade after installing xdfe from the software manager, then i try apt-get installing it just incase the software amanager install didnt work.. maybe the double xdfe install borqed itself? because it looked like it installed a bunch of stuff in the commandline too afterwards? [19:22] i dont how i installed gnome a million times but installing xdfce4 once, is a major problem? [19:23] thanks bekks, is that easy to change? [19:23] quants_: Is what easy to change? [19:23] to set my computer so it uses socks [19:24] quants_: Why would you want that if you dont even know what SOCKS is for? [19:24] quants_, about:preferences#advanced and click 'settings' ... in firefox i mean [19:24] im just looking to improve security [19:25] quants_: Then forget about everything your friend tells you, and start using Ubuntu. Dont try to get things done you dont even know why. [19:25] .join #ubuntu-server [19:25] ack [19:25] Will do bekks, thanks for being patient with me === jswe_ is now known as jswe [19:28] Is there any way to send data to a tmux session with send-keys?

So is it posible that ftp craetes this folders? [19:36] stonerl: Your problem is that the FTP protocal doesnt support what you want. You have to do it manually. [19:36] stonerl: You need to manually create the local folders and then get the files. [19:36] !op [19:36] Help! Channel emergency!

[19:38] ok [19:41] bekks: thx === user is now known as Guest93210 [19:55] After installing a package I'm unable to ssh to my Ubuntu box anymore. netstat shows it's listening and tcpdump shows it's receiving packets from the client, but the client just times out. Can anyone point me in the right direction for what to look at next? [19:57] port forwarding issue? [19:58] I filtered tcpdump specifically for port 22, though, and I do see packets come in. Could that still be the case? [19:59] if there's one thing i've learnt about linux and networking, it's what it's always worth double checking :) [19:59] sorry i can't be of more help to you, i'm sure someone knowledable will appear soon [20:00] well the come in but do they go out? [20:00] they* [20:00] llllll: No worries, I appreciate your help! [20:00] AvatarA: I hadn't thought to check that. Let me take a look. [20:01] platta, so what package did you install that caused this? [20:01] if you receive packets and the client sits, waits and times out, it looks like it's waiting to get something back and doesn't receive it [20:02] OerHeks: I installed Docker using their installation instructions. Basically you run this: curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh [20:02] hi, are there known causes to high I/O wait values - other that a failing disk - when running e.g. tar, apt-get, or freshclam? [20:03] PsynoKhi0: version? kernel? [20:03] btw just a curiosity of mine now, if anyone knows; does tcpdump show packets that are dropped by the firewall? [20:04] daftykins, ah sorry, ubuntu 14.04, kernel 3.13 (PAE) [20:04] PsynoKhi0: so how did you rule out disk issues already? [20:05] daftykins, S.M.A.R.T pass, fsck pass, the 64bit distro I dual on same drive shows no similar load [20:05] dual boot* [20:06] PsynoKhi0: wouldn't hurt to show us a smartctl -a /dev/sdX pastebin [20:07] daftykins, on it. Oh and dmesg doen't complain about the drive either [20:07] mmm it wouldn't know if the issues were at disk firmware perhaps [20:09] oin #debian [20:09] daftykins, the drive has 10k hours life time, never touched the f/w, the 32 bit ubuntu installation has been humming along since the release [20:10] PsynoKhi0: well just pastebin the smartctl output ;) [20:11] daftykins, ask and you shall receive :) http://paste.ubuntu.com/12507194/ [20:12] I need some help getting GRUB installed. I installed Ubuntu a few days ago, but there is no GRUB, system boots right into Windows. [20:12] AvatarA: No outgoing packets. Could it be a firewall thing? I checked "sudo ufw status" and it claims to be inactive. [20:13] PsynoKhi0: good stuff, yeah that definitely looks clean. Not sure then! [20:14] platta, start that docker, and try to ssh into your machine, if that works, docker takes over somehowe [20:14] daftykins, ever heard of PAE kernels needing specific attention when upgrading RAM? I went from 8GB to 24GB and that's when it starting acting up [20:14] started* [20:15] 24GB RAM and you said you're using 32-bit? [20:15] I was told there should be an easy way to fix it using Live boot. Anyone know what it is? [20:15] PsynoKhi0, oh, now you come with important info .. [20:15] PAE isn't enough to save you there :) i'd reinstall with 64-bit [20:15] daftykins, I triple-boot 1 ubuntu 32 bit and 2 64bit distros [20:16] skinux, is this an UEFI machine? [20:16] and AFAIK PAE handles up to 64GB... guess no one actually gathered empirical data on that though heh [20:18] OerHeks, did the amount of memory raise red flags? [20:18] i think it's fair to say peeps would sooner install a 64-bit host OS than run the gamble [20:19] daftykins, yeah I guess [20:20] platta, if ufw is inactive it doesn't mean much [20:20] there's still netfilter [20:22] AvatarA: ufw is a frontend for iptables, which netfilter is a plugin for. So if you disable ufw, you clean all iptables rules, which inheritly disables netfilter. [20:25] what about manually added iptable rules? [20:26] AvatarA: Just finished checking that (not very experienced with linux, but my Google Fu is strong). Looks like the install creates some rules, but removing them doesn't fix the issue. [20:26] AvatarA: Now I'm looking into the fact that it creates a virtual ethernet interface. [20:26] AvatarA: Manually added iptable rules arent covered by ufw. [20:27] platta, did you restart iptables? [20:27] AvatarA: I just did iptables --flush [20:28] (I just probably said some non-sense with that restart iptables) [20:29] iptables -F; iptables -X :) [20:32] Hey guys! If I leave a virtual Interface configured like this: https://paste.debian.net/312649/ (no auto or allow-hotplug options) [20:32] can you reach your client from that server? [20:32] will be brought up at boot time? [20:32] daftykins, OerHeks thanks for the hints! [20:32] AvatarA: No luck with iptables, but I was able to get it to work again by disabling the virtual interface that Docker created. [20:33] so it was a routing problem [20:35] Oh man, that's way beyond what I know about networking. [20:35] Any news on supporting Baytrail processors with 32bit UEFI? [20:36] And do cherry trail processors have 32 or 64bit UEFI? I cant find the info googling. [20:36] AvatarA: Further testing your other suggestion, I can ping the client from the server but when I re-enable the virtual interface I can't ping it. Looks like I'm gonna learn me some routing :) [20:41] AvatarA: Got it - my server is on 172.16.108.0 and my client is on 172.17.1.0. The virtual interface Docker creates uses 172.17.0.0, so it's devouring all that outgoing traffic when it's active [20:42] ah-haaaar [20:42] AvatarA, OerHeks, daftykins, bekks thank you all for your help! [20:52] well short story is, if you want to send something to 1.2.3.4 the system has to know where it should send that [20:53] and the routing table helps do that === Bray9082_ is now known as bray90820 [21:02] your screen graphics card and input device settings could not be detected correctly === bray90820 is now known as Bray90820 [21:03] i am getting this error on reboot after trying to instal XFCE? [21:04] tachibana, have you run updates/upgrades? What was there before the xfce and how was it installed? [21:04] i had unity installed prior [21:05] and i am pretty sure i purged it away, also updated/upgraded [21:05] tachibana, purging it was a mistake is all, can be removed but a waste of time is all. [21:05] i did install xfce twice, once from software manager, and then again from command line apt-get, so maybe im getting an arror from a double install? [21:07] makes sense [21:07] ? [21:07] tachibana, unity is a plugin in compiz on top of gnome 3, I'm not sure what xfce and gnome 3 are sharing, which may have been removed with the purge is all. [21:08] no double install [21:08] all i can think of is try installing LFCE from command line? [21:08] same source, different managers is all [21:08] lxce* [21:10] i really want an xfce machine running though :[ [21:11] tachibana, did you install proprietary drivers at some point? [21:13] Hi [21:13] any one there to help me? [21:13] AvatarA, yes i followed some guide that said to reinstall some nvidia drivers so I did that but it was for a similar but different problem [21:14] ??? [21:14] anyone there? [21:14] ? [21:15] you seem to be missing a xorg.conf [21:15] proprietary drivers usually need that, open source usually don't [21:15] I have already have driver issue on ubuntu 14.04 [21:15] find a guide for your drivers, reinstall, and re-generate that xorg.conf [21:16] I am using NVIDIA Quadro FX 1800 [21:16] hy all, i need help to configure module userdir in my apache 2.4 ... i'm using ubuntu 14.04 [21:16] module is work's fine ... but rewrite module don't ok. [21:16] I have successfully install the driver but it fails to give perfect resolution [21:17] i have this error ... [21:17] [core:info] [pid 1176] [client 127.0.0.1:36829] AH00128: File does not exist: /var/www/html/home/adrianoc/public_html/cake/webroot/index.php, referer: http://localhost/~adrianoc/ [21:17] i already had a nvidia driver problem before this shit sucks [21:18] how do i edit the .config file [21:18] look "/var/www/html", this is wrong. [21:18] nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf but you have to see what your specific hardware requires [21:18] don't know about nvidia [21:19] ati had a tool called aticonfig for example and you typed aticonfig --initial or something like that and it generated the .conf [21:19] but i can't set the correct configuration. [21:19] did you install that driver from ubuntu repositories or from manfuacturer's site? tachibana [21:20] * Mufasil slaps adrianoc around a bit with a large fishbot === WormDude is now known as WormFood [21:21] AvatarA, i installed the driver from sudo apt-get [21:21] sudo apt-get nvidia something [21:23] maybe purge that nvidia something and then install again [21:23] don't know, depends how that package is built, the idea is to regenerate the .conf file anyway you find easier for yourself [21:25] maybe this will help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [21:27] i installed the nvidia after installing xfce and getting this error, you realize that right? [21:28] are you saying updating the nvidia driver ruins my ability to successfully install XFCE even though xfce was clearly already giving me an error and not booting to the login screen? [21:28] doesn't make sense? [21:29] it does if the hardware doesn't work with the open driver. [21:29] tachibana: dpkg -l | grep nvidia [21:29] state which it is :) [21:32] when I installed ubuntu I check marked yes install 3rd party drivers because i tried berry linux earlier and the wifi card wasnt working [21:32] tachibana, what card exactly? [21:32] realtek [21:32] NIC [21:32] all i read is what is not working, no details to get a clue [21:33] i am seriously going to just reinstall ubnuntu and spend half a day to download 200 MB of updates agaiN! >: [ [21:33] now it is a nick, first you mention the nvidia one.. [21:34] are you on drugs sir? [21:34] tachibana, no, are you ? [21:35] tachibana are you women right? [21:35] how to list all symlinks in subdirectory /a/subdir1 and its subdirectories that point outside of subdir1 ? [21:37] How come boot repair says UEFI is turned off when it is turned on?? [21:38] It's freaking annoying. I installed Ubuntu, but it didn't put a boot option anywhere. [21:38] id help you guys and make your lifes easier but these jokers wont even help me [21:38] I remember when free software meant something [21:39] lovely [21:39] skinux: i suspect you messed up your install again :) [21:39] tachibana, your destails are bad and spread out no real context. [21:39] daftykins: No. The installation seemed to have gone fine except that there was no boot menu option. [21:39] HOLA [21:40] right but the installation includes GRUB placement steps [21:40] I tried to add one to Windows using EasyBCD but it just says Windows failed to load when I use it. [21:40] an entry to boot Windows? wat [21:40] tachibana, being abusive gets a free ignore here. [21:40] No, an entry in Windows boot menu to put Ubuntu [21:41] to boot Ubuntu* [21:41] Is there a way to check open bugs on an application? I am trying to use "Simple Scan" and it cannot see the USB scanner. I can see the scanner using lsusb. [21:41] i feel like people refer to that as not being an option [21:41] skinux: well once again you come to us with problems but no logs, output - or anything whatsoever to go on :) [21:41] Well, I also tried official instructions for installing GRUB and it didn't work either. [21:42] Well, it appeared to work, but I didn't get any GRUB instead it went straight to Windows [21:43] if Windows and Ubuntu both are truly installed as EFI, then you will need to be sure Windows Boot Manager isn't the entry listed for boot inside your BIOS [21:43] UEFI doesn't have any option for Ubuntu [21:44] no you typically pick the hard disk device over WBM [21:44] so go off and get us some output please instead of expecting us to do all the work and/or guess. [21:44] Boot from hard disk instead of choosing Windows? [21:44] I can give that a shot. [21:45] just watch... this one idea will be tried, no output will be brought back - just a "it dun work" [21:45] I am trying to get Simple Scan to work. I cannot get it to see the scanner. I can see the scanner with lsusb. [21:46] There is also an issue with terminating the program. It locks up I am forced to quit it. If I start in a terminal it locks up the terminal === SyndicateDon__ is now known as SyndicateDon [21:47] Am I asking my question in the right IRC channel? [21:48] whats an easy way to set up a restore point in ubuntu so i dont gotta spend 1 week reinstalling after every trial/error [21:48] good god I wouldn't wish this torture on anybody ='[ [21:49] hola [21:49] If you are testing stuff I would run Ubuntu in KVM/VirtualBox/VMWare. That way if something goes wrong you have not lost anything. [21:50] Most VM software has a way to take snapshots === Tuck is now known as Tuck110 [21:55] storri: correct channel yes, just sunday and nobodys able to reply ;) [21:55] Okay, I tried booting from disk. GRUB is there, but I only get a GRUB console instead of a boot menu. [21:56] daftykins: Well I am switching from Linux Mint to Ubuntu to match what I use at work. Devices were easy to install in LInux Mint. In Ubuntu they are taking time to figure out. [21:56] skinux: progress at least, ok so it's misconfigured now. [21:56] Yeah...but I have no idea how to repair [21:57] storri: i greatly doubt that, i bet it's down to mismatched versions [21:57] daftykins: The problem most likely exists between the keyboard and the chair. What do you mean about mismatched versions? [21:58] the Mint and Ubuntu versions you refer to could be different releases with different kernels [21:58] True === camilla is now known as spr-k3737 [21:59] storri: also when you say devices, what other than the scanner do you mean? [22:00] daftykins: I am speaking of my usb scanner. That is the current device I am trying to get Simple Scan to see. [22:00] daftykins: Sorry for the confusion. [22:00] right, but you made it sound like more devices were the issue [22:00] you made it sound like Mint is this magical distro that makes everything work ;) [22:01] It was the printer but I got that sorted out the Printer configuration. I had to install the drivers from Brother. After which the Printer program was able to configure the printer. [22:01] why does the software center charge us for software when i can the same software for ubuntu for free else where? [22:01] Hi there! Installed xubuntu just recently, on a UEFI machine. Followed default settings, did some partitioning that I wouldn't expect to affect Windows, and now I can't boot into windows? UEFI lists a windows boot entry, but even when that is given priority, xubuntu boots. [22:01] jlim: maybe it's someone who packaged it up for you, who knows [22:01] happened twice today [22:02] spr-k3737: did you use boot-repair? [22:02] it might have switched the efi files [22:02] spr-k3737, 'some partitioning' needs to be explained [22:02] jlim, what software package? [22:02] @wileee, deleted linux, linux swap, and linux [22:02] Are there a few commands I can give to GRUB console to fix this? [22:02] don't know about you guys, but I like temperate geekier systems (like with unity and gnome-shell), I really hate to do configurations in gui mode [22:02] daftykins: Any experience with getting usb scanners sorted out? [22:02] i went to the developers website and downloaded for free. but i cost $$$ in the software center [22:03] storri: nah, else i'd have replied from the beginning :) [22:03] @EriC^^ no, I have not! Will do. [22:03] jlim, what software package exactly? [22:03] spr-k3737: no, don't [22:03] Oh [22:03] one was filebot [22:03] spr-k3737, no moving windows, or removing the uefi boot? [22:03] daftykins: no worries. Just funny how running scanimage freezes the terminal. I don't know why that is happening. [22:03] other numix circle icon theme [22:03] @wileee, correct, only touched two ext4 partitions labelled for the OSes that were in them, and the swap partition one of them made. [22:04] both available free for ubuntu\ [22:04] not in software center [22:04] cost money in software center [22:04] spr-k3737, cool, you have better help than me interested, not my best area. [22:05] i don't mind paying. but don't make me pay for something that is available for free [22:06] that is messed up [22:06] fdisk -l output: http://paste.roguecoders.com/p/c5d48c066697689c48f772a6a80ff07e.txt [22:06] jlim, good find, sure that numix theme should not be sold. [22:06] jlim, about that filebot, do you have an Url ? [22:06] yes [22:07] spr-k3737: type sudo efibootmgr -v | nc termbin.com 9999 [22:07] http://www.filebot.net/ [22:07] also [22:08] jlim, about that numix theme, see https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/precise/numix-icon-theme-circle/ in the header, add their ppa for free ppa:numix/ppa [22:08] efibootmgr not found [22:08] spr-k3737: type ls -l /sys/firmware/efi [22:09] EriC^^, acpi and memmap are only dirs in /sys/firmware [22:09] (O [22:10] spr-k3737: ok, i think you've installed in legacy mode [22:10] Oh, is that default? [22:10] It' [22:10] s a fresh install so I'm happy to reinstall to not use legacy mode if I don't have to. [22:10] spr-k3737: type sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999 [22:11] jlim, according to this post, the filebot money goes to the developer , but you can still use it for free http://www.webupd8.org/2014/04/organize-your-tv-shows-and-movies-with.html [22:11] Eric^^: http://termbin.com/11t6 That is the coolest thing ever [22:11] spr-k3737: ok, enable uefi in the bios ( or disable csm legacy ) and boot the live usb [22:11] i have installed it. I just find it alarming that the softwareware center is charging. I would donate on my own because i love the work those guys do. but i am finding this more and more with the software center lately [22:11] what is going with the software center lately? [22:12] spr-k3737: once booted try ls -l /sys/firmware/efi to see if you're booted in uefi [22:12] In the liveusb? [22:12] LiveUSB has xchat, so I' [22:12] ll report in! [22:12] spr-k3737: yeah, in try ubuntu, also nuke the disk and make it gpt [22:12] ok [22:13] Eric^^ I can't nuke windows === CraHan is now known as CraHan_out [22:13] jlim, i don't know about numix, but the filebot maintainer placed it himself on softwarecenter. [22:13] it seems that the persin maintaining it doesn't know what he/she is doing [22:14] is there an ubuntu wiz around ?? :) [22:14] i tried to install skype but it was removed. had to download from skype website [22:14] same thinf with google earth [22:15] jlim, skype is in the partner 3th party repo, enable it in softwarecenter > sources. [22:15] i thought i had that enabled. let me check [22:15] google earth is not in our repos [22:17] OerHeks: yup thirdparty sources are enabled [22:17] Here is my GRUB installation error: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/bfd9c02b9828b355305d [22:18] I just got this error using LIVE USB [22:18] EriC^^, I'm on the live usb, and there is no /sys/firmware/efi [22:18] I didn't see anything in BIOS about Legacy Mode :s [22:18] it's sometimes called CSM [22:19] spr-k3737: ok, type dmidecode | grep UEFI [22:19] sudo dmidecode.. [22:20] supported [22:20] spr-k3737: ok, did windows used to boot? [22:20] Yes [22:21] i think it's in legacy mode [22:21] And that should be a switch in BIOS? [22:21] Cause I looked pretty thoroughly :I [22:22] you can't switch it, you have to reinstall windows to make it work with uefi or convert somehow [22:22] Oh, Windows is in Legacy mode? [22:22] yeah i think so [22:22] type sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt [22:23] then ls -lR /mnt | nc termbin.com 9999 [22:23] It's empty [22:24] fdisk -l: http://termbin.com/ys2t [22:25] type df /mnt [22:25] /dev/sda5 297820 4 297816 1% /mnt [22:25] ok i guess you can install ubuntu in legacy mode [22:26] and dual boot or fresh install windows for uefi [22:27] or maybe convert windows [22:28] Oof [22:29] which windows is it anyways? [22:30] how would I reinstall my UBUNTU or roll back the system after screwing it up :P ?? [22:30] spr-k3737: seems pretty easy to convert windows to use uefi [22:31] dr_sweets: what did you do? [22:31] deleted something I wasnt'supposed to :) [22:31] such as? [22:31] can figure out what [22:31] EriC^^: Oh, you're right, there are pretty straightforward instructions. THanks for all the help! [22:31] can not [22:31] spr-k3737: no problem [22:32] I was trying to rinse it up so I could reinstall my BNC and eggie, it all fell apart [22:33] dr_sweets: aha [22:34] well, lets see , I might have stumbled upon something :) [22:38] nope, didn't take [22:48] finally learnt how to mount an smb share on boot so i can use cmus to listen to music from my network machine [22:48] SO HAPPY [22:50] well, I am still stumped, is there any command in the command line that I could use to reupgrade ?? === dearn_ is now known as dearn === jwheare_local_ is now known as jwheare_local [22:59] Hi guys === ilbelkyr is now known as bcode [23:00] Kind of new at this but I'm hoping to get some help with my issue.
