[00:00] <mattsl> Ben64: Any suggestions on one that will actually have that functionality? From what I see about changing it, it's not something as simple as a couple drop down boxes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DefaultFileManager
[00:01] <mattsl> And it's not as though I can just test it before setting it to default, since obviously in the normal window of Nautilus I can rename files, etc.
[00:07] <quaesitor>  -bash: 1s: command not found
[00:08] <bazhang> L not one
[00:08] <OS_Connoisseur> Is there a way to have ps not truncate the executable names?
[00:12] <quaesitor> ls: -rw-r--r--: No such file or directory
[00:12] <Ben64> quaesitor: what are you typing?
[00:12] <quaesitor> I am typing some commands from a link provided earlier
[00:12] <Peachey> hey so i am having trouble
[00:13] <quaesitor> to ascertain md5
[00:13] <Ben64> quaesitor: ok, but what exactly are you typing?
[00:13] <Peachey> ubuntu keeps freezing when ever i try doing sudo apt-get update or try updating the system it self please help
[00:14] <quaesitor> "ls -l ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 jsmith jsmith 732766208 2008-10-28 23:24 ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso"
[00:14] <Ben64> quaesitor: thats way wrong. and why are you trying to use a 8.10 iso?
[00:15] <quaesitor> this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[00:16] <Ben64> well the first line is what the command is, the second one is the output. and you're supposed to use your filename
[00:17] <quaesitor> Ben64: u mean ubuntu-14.4-desktop-?
[00:17] <quaesitor> *14.4.2-desktop-
[00:21] <quaesitor> I tried just the cmd and got "no such file or directory"
[00:24] <quaesitor> I apparently forgot a digit
[00:25] <quaesitor> same result
[00:26] <xnet> anyone know how to install Nitrous io on ubuntu
[00:26] <geirha> try:  md5sum ubuntu*.iso
[00:26] <xnet> is that even possible
[00:26] <bazhang> what is nitrous io xnet
[00:27] <quaesitor> -bash: md5sum: command not found
[00:27] <xnet> its an IDE but online
[00:27] <bazhang> xnet, online, means using a web ui, not installing
[00:28] <xnet> somehow some people said you can install it
[00:28] <geirha> quaesitor: Are you on OSX? if so, use md5 instead of md5sum
[00:28] <quaesitor> yes
[00:28] <bazhang> check their support then xnet
[00:31] <xnet> any  text editor on ubuntu linux
[00:31] <xnet> i mean ubuntu mate
[00:31] <quaesitor> md5: ubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso: No such file or directory
[00:34] <Bashing-om> quaesitor: Is the Present Working directory the sdame as that containoing the file " ubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso " ?
[00:35] <quaesitor> Bashing-om: how do I check that?
[00:36] <Bashing-om> quaesitor: On a Mac . can not say .. but the command 'list', do you see our target file ?
[00:36] <quaesitor> could not find my version on this link:  http://releases.ubuntu.com/
[00:39] <Bashing-om> quaesitor: Then you did not download a current release . As a new user you do want to break in with a Long Term Support release - 14.04.3 - .
[00:40] <quaesitor> Bashing-om: thats true, I downloaded it roughly a year ago and only now decided to use it.
[00:42] <Bashing-om> quaesitor: So, OK, what is the file name ?
[00:42] <m321> hi rm
[00:43] <m321> anyone know how to dl dependencies to back up software if it requires a bunch, in case you need to do an offline install? very new sorry
[00:44] <m321> wget command on each one?
[00:45] <quaesitor> Bashing-om: i'm still trying to figure out the filename
[00:45] <bazhang> packages.ubuntu.com m321
[00:46] <bazhang> that lists the depends, sneakernet them
[00:46] <Bashing-om> m321: Sounds like a job for 'get-selections' see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2234850 .
[00:46] <m321> thx just got a system76 comp installed something that required like 10 different dependencies :)
[00:46] <m321> thank you
[00:46] <bazhang> ten is not so bad
[00:47] <m321> yea i like how easy it is to install stuff, but without internet i want to be able to back up the most important stuff
[00:47] <m321> lets just say i don't miss xp ;)
[00:48] <Bashing-om> quaesitor: Can not run a file integrity check on a file that you can not identify by name. // So where is this mystery file located ? Then list the contents at that location .
[00:50] <m321> bashing: this looks good i'm def looking into that link. was the one prob i had with linux
[00:51] <Bashing-om> m321: That is not a real good idea - for long term - as the system gets updated frequently, and old files (libraries and such) are no longer valid .
[00:51] <quaesitor> Bashing-om: it's located in my downloads file
[00:51] <m321> what if i am backing up something like keepass or a app that just requires to open stuff but is not changing
[00:53] <m321> bash, i am mostly worried i'll pw protect something then loose internet and access to files or something
[00:53] <Bashing-om> quaesitor: OK, so (C)hange (D)irectory to /Downloads ( on the Mac still right ?) and list the contents of the /Downloads directory to get the file name that you are seeking .
[00:54] <Bashing-om> m321: With a liveDVD(ISB) you have complete access to your install for what ever reason . ( but encryption is a level of complexity that is difficult or impossible to overcome in some instances ) .
[00:55] <Bashing-om> DVD(USB)*
[00:55] <m321> bashing - i'll look into liveDVD no idea what that has to do with backing up dependecies tho?
[00:55] <m321> usb*
[00:56] <m321> thanks got a lot to read
[00:57] <m321> just switched to 14.04 computer did not come with LTS so just want to get at least the most important files backed up, my internet sucks
[00:57] <Bashing-om> m321: The point is that here is absolutely no need to backup system files - for long term backup. period.
[00:58] <m321> bash suppose you have all your passwords backed up or files you need encrypted so you need software that needs a few dependencies to access em
[00:59] <m321> mostly i see your point
[00:59] <Ben64> still doesn't make sense
[01:02] <Bashing-om> m321: A Windows user ? Please bear in mind this is not Windows. We been around a long time before Windows, and them guys I think knew what they were doing back then . There is nothing you can not restore/fix from that liveDVD ( the install desktop medium ) . - encryption .. YUK that sometimes is a problem if/when it breaks .
[01:02] <m321> windows xp actually, little bit of linux but not too much obviously ;)
[01:03] <quaesitor> Bashing-om: I changed the directory to downloads and then implemented the md5 cmd but it still does not find a file or directory
[01:03] <Ben64> quaesitor: then you're not in the right directory or you're typing it incorrectly
[01:04] <Bashing-om> m321: Not to know is not a sin, We were ALL new at one time. Like anything else there is a learning curve getting comfortable with linux .
[01:05] <m321> bashing appreciate the help, reading the info you gave now. pretty much loved the feel of linux from day 1, was using a 10 year old pc with linux lite this is my first new pc with real ubuntu. really nice looking features. thanks again.
[01:05] <quaesitor> is it possible that I have to type the entire path?
[01:05] <Bashing-om> quaesitor: Then a) You are not telling the command the location, b) you are not in that directory or c) you still have not got the file name right .
[01:07] <Bashing-om> m321: No Problem. We are all here to help .. Ask, the only dumb question is the one that is not asked .
[01:07] <m321> :) good people like you are around makes finding most stuff easily in the community
[01:08] <m321> linux would be almost impossible for many without the help you can find everywhere
[01:08] <Bashing-om> m321: :) Us nerds are all good peeps, once in a while .
[01:08] <quaesitor> I typed in the entire path and now it says "not a directory"
[01:09] <m321> lol good this room is crazy busy bet you get non stop questions ;x
[01:11] <Bashing-om> m321: Now that is a fact, and that is off-topic. Not to detract from this busy traffic channel. We have #ubuntu-offtopic for chatter .
[01:11] <m321> gotcha
[01:12] <quaesitor> I think I got it this time but the msg is blank how shld I interpret this?
[01:12] <Ben64> quaesitor: what exactly did you type
[01:13] <quaesitor> Bashing-om: "md5 ubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso" without quotes
[01:14] <acacar> Hello. Ive been trying to make a usb in which i have a liveusb and a partition readable by Windows. It seems that it only boots if the OS partition is fat 32 and not ext4 or ext2. How can i make it boot in ext4 so that when I connect it to a virus-infected pc it doesnt mess up my liveusb partition?
[01:14] <Bashing-om> m321: To be honest. I too used to be concerned about backups. I did learn that all I need to backup is my personal data, and keep a change log of all changes I make to the system. There is nothing else really required . It takes 20 minutes to Re-install the operating system Right back to the point I was . ( it has been ages since I broke my system !) .
[01:14] <Ben64> quaesitor: replace md5 with ls and see if it shows the file
[01:15] <quaesitor> Ben64: is that a lower case L or an upper case i?
[01:16] <m321> bashing yea this sounds right, i use "gnote" and back this up so i can remember all the settings i change in case of a disaster.
[01:16] <acacar> Anyone?
[01:16] <m321> gnote is like a fast notepad just categorized and easy to open and close without saving manually
[01:16] <Ben64> quaesitor: LS lower case
[01:17] <m321> bash what i want to do is just backup possibly keepass which i think i can just download, so i can keep my passwords moved to a pc not online or whatever. i'm pretty good with backing up files like you said.
[01:18] <quaesitor> "= 1b305d585b1918f297164add46784116"
[01:18] <quaesitor> I think I did it
[01:18] <m321> acacar i'm a newbie but have done the same, i always also had to use fat32 then access the windows partition..
[01:18] <Ben64> quaesitor: yep
[01:18] <quaesitor> where do I go from here
[01:19] <Ben64> quaesitor: well now you know you have a good copy of the iso
[01:19] <acacar> m321: Thanks. So, a virus will infect my liveusb and theres nothing i can do about it?
[01:20] <Ben64> don't put a flash drive into a computer with viruses?
[01:20] <Bashing-om> quaesitor: Confirmed, you have a good download of 14.04 !
[01:20] <m321> acarcar sorry i thought you were using live usb with linux to access a infected windows
[01:20] <bcx> How can I make update-{initramfs,grub} re-mount rw/ro, to keep my boot partition ro ?
[01:21] <afrowheel> Hi! I represent the Gloryhole Foundation! We focus on giving free internet to kids in Africa! http://gloryholefoundation.com/
[01:21] <afrowheel> Donations & volunteers welcome!
[01:21] <m321> don't they need food more
[01:22] <acacar> m321: I want to make a liveusb that has an ext partition so windows cant infect it.
[01:22] <m321> bad joke sorry good luck with that :)
[01:22] <quaesitor> thats good, but why won't the  windows boot from the dvd-r I made? and why can't my mac read it?
[01:22] <afrowheel> Not anymore. They can order food from South Africa now.
[01:22] <m321> oh, sorry i am not sure i only had luck with fat32
[01:22] <Ben64> !ops

[01:23] <afrowheel> South African kids are receiving free food from South Africa through this program.
[01:23] <m321> afrowheel thats good, my family was all wiped out in ukrain so i should not make starvation jokes either way ;)
[01:23] <afrowheel> From Cape Town
[01:24] <m321> seeya guys thanks again bashing-om sorry cannot help acacar i do not know much about windows's virus's
[01:24] <acacar> m321: Yeah... Thanks.
[01:25] <tincatdog> acacar: linux can be a carrier but can't catch them.
[01:25] <tincatdog> m321: ha
[01:26] <m321> ;x
[01:33] <genewitch> How good is ubuntu server? Running on old Xeons, in a VM, with only 600MB of memory, it took me 2 years to finally need more memory.
[01:33] <genewitch> I started hitting swap sometime last week, and it became real slow
[01:35] <bazhang> try #ubuntu-server genewitch
[01:36] <utu8o> how do you play HEVC files on Ubuntu?
[01:37] <tincatdog> utu8o: vlc
[01:37] <Geo> So, asking this in the context of wanting to know the 'why' and possible causes, not a fix- a disk has no bad blocks, but several dirs aren't accessible due to I/O errors. A fair amount of errors are listed via smartctl. What are the possible issues with the disk? I'm particularly confused on how badblocks came back clean
[01:37] <quaesitor> I was able to comfirn that the hash matches
[01:37] <utu8o> tincatdog, it doesn't work also
[01:38] <tincatdog> quaesitor: it still won't boot.
[01:38] <genewitch> ok
[01:38] <utu8o> i think Ubuntu apps are too old
[01:38] <quaesitor> tincatdog: that's correct
[01:38] <utu8o> Ubuntu wants people to use the newest version of Ubuntu but apps in the repos are on average 5 years old lol
[01:39] <tincatdog> quaesitor:  Did you try f12 yet
[01:39] <quaesitor> tincatdog: is f12 the bios setup? it's f2 on the windows computer
[01:40] <utu8o> so i guess HEVC files are not officially supported on Ubuntu until a year or two from now?
[01:40] <guest-ADZfhW> Someone using this computer signed in as guest, and must ahve missed the message about all data being erased.  Is there any way at all to recover a word document they saved before they logged out?
[01:40] <tincatdog> quaesitor: f12 should bring up a menu.
[01:40] <somsip> !undelete | guest-ADZfhW
[01:40] <tincatdog> quaesitor: during boot
[01:41] <Geo> utu8o, not sure why you're saying that, and only walked in on the second half... but ubuntu plays hvec, you were already given an app that does so
[01:41] <tincatdog> utu8o: the file might be corrupt. Or rename extension
[01:42] <utu8o> should i install this PPA? https://askubuntu.com/questions/362745/how-to-install-h-265-hevc-codec-on-ubuntu-linux
[01:42] <utu8o> same PPA https://askubuntu.com/questions/362745/how-to-install-h-265-hevc-codec-on-ubuntu-linux
[01:42] <Geo> I feel as though you're ignoring people giving you the answer :)
[01:42] <Ben64> utu8o: what version of ubuntu, did you try what was suggested?
[01:42] <Geo> maybe this is a turing bot!
[01:43] <tincatdog> utu8o: VLC don't use external codecs. Try smplayer
[01:43] <utu8o> yeah VLC and other players don't suppose it
[01:43] <Ben64> utu8o: what version of ubuntu
[01:43] <utu8o> tincatdog, SMplayer is my main player
[01:43] <utu8o> 14.04
[01:43] <kostkon> utu8o, snappy based ubuntu will change all that. be patient. the ppa will probably replace your gstreamer. see for youself https://launchpad.net/~strukturag/+archive/ubuntu/libde265
[01:43] <tincatdog> utu8o: you can install player codecs
[01:44] <tincatdog> utu8o: you can install mplayer codecs
[01:44] <utu8o> kostkon, is that bad or good? should i replace the gstreamer?
[01:44] <Geo> vlc-plugin-libde265 for instance
[01:44] <tincatdog> quaesitor: what's up
[01:44] <Geo> but utu8o seems intent on his own solution :)
[01:44] <Ben64> utu8o: use this https://launchpad.net/~rvm/+archive/ubuntu/smplayer
[01:45] <utu8o> so both answers are to install a PPA
[01:47] <Ben64> utu8o: yep, ppa is how to add new things
[01:47] <quaesitor> tincatdog: I tried f12 a couple times but it did nothing, the first time I had some loud beeping, and then it got stuck on the starting windows screen. the second time it went into recovery or start windows normally which i've seen without pressing f12.
[01:48] <quaesitor> ps I am trying to use linux to fix bsod problem on windows
[01:48] <Ben64> thats not how to fix windows
[01:49] <utu8o> quaesitor, maybe try system restore or something
[01:49] <quaesitor> I need to backup data to make sure it is safe before I use recovery mode
[01:49] <utu8o> quaesitor, maybe try #Windows too
[01:49] <jgranate> I always find clean install fixes my windows issues... though maybe a bit extreme
[01:49] <Ben64> yeah, you should be asking ##windows for windows support
[01:49] <Geo> So, asking this in the context of wanting to know the 'why' and possible causes, not a fix- a disk has no bad blocks, but several dirs aren't accessible due to I/O errors. A fair amount of errors are listed via smartctl. What are the possible issues with the disk? I'm particularly confused on how badblocks came back totally clean but only have issues with specific files
[01:49] <quaesitor> utu8o: unfortuneately I did not make a system restore point
[01:50] <utu8o> quaesitor, use the LiveUSB/CD to access your windows drive then copy your data to an external drive or something
[01:50] <Ben64> Geo: what are the errors
[01:50] <quaesitor> Ben64: is #windows free?
[01:50] <utu8o> yeah
[01:51] <quaesitor> utu8o: that is what 'm trying to do but windows wont recognize the live cd
[01:51] <Ben64> windows doesn't have to, the computer does
[01:51] <utu8o> quaesitor, i think sometimes Windows automatically creates a restore point everytime you install new apps and stuff
[01:52] <dominic_> the purpose of shadow copies
[01:52] <Geo> Ben64: Input/Output error
[01:52] <Geo> literally what is listed
[01:52] <Ben64> sounds like a dying drive
[01:52] <underd0g> yo
[01:52] <Geo> well, yes :)
[01:53] <jgranate> quaesitor, have you tried booting to your cd?
[01:53] <utu8o> quaesitor, put/plug the LiveCD/USB in the computer then start the computer, make sure you set in your bios to boot from CD/USB first usually to access the mother settings you have to press f1 or f2 or something
[01:53] <quaesitor> Ben64: it started when I interrupted a windows update
[01:53] <Geo> but how does badblocks come back clean, if it cant read the data from the disk? Which is what I'm assuming is the case
[01:53] <Ben64> quaesitor: again, ##windows for windows support
[01:53] <utu8o> motherboard*
[01:53] <Geo> ls: cannot access foo: Input/Output error
[01:54] <quaesitor> jgranate: yes, I set it to boot from internal optical drive first in bios
[01:55] <quaesitor> is my disk a dud?
[01:55] <underd0g> Geo: could be a currupted disk
[01:55] <utu8o> what app did you use to make the CD
[01:56] <Geo> underd0g: corrupted in which respect?
[01:56] <quaesitor> utu8o: I used disk utility
[01:57] <underd0g> Geo: didnt write it fast enough or maybe too fast
[01:58] <underd0g> Geo: i think if you write at speeds over 16x you could currupt the disk
[01:58] <utu8o> write it as the slowest speed
[01:58] <Geo> underd0g, this is a hard drive... are we on the same page here?
[01:58] <quaesitor> I wrote one disk on speed 8x and one on speed 3x when I suspected speed to be the culprit
[01:59] <underd0g> Geo ^
[02:00] <the_count> Hey, anyone know how I could set cmatrix as my desktop background?
[02:00] <underd0g> the_count: like the live wallpaper
[02:01] <the_count> Sure, somehow have a non-imput terminal as the background which I could start cmatrix on
[02:02] <quaesitor> cld it be the fact that the ubuntu version I have is a year or 2 old?
[02:02] <the_count> **input
[02:04] <OneM_Industries> So, does Ubuntu have support for ISA expansion cards?
[02:06] <quaesitor> can a ubunu live cd burned by a mac work on a windows 7 computer?
[02:08] <underd0g> the_count: try terminator and play with the setings
[02:09] <Geo> how can I figure out which harddrive is referenced as 'ata10' in syslog?
[02:10] <somenickasd> quaesitor yes that should work
[02:11] <somenickasd> does seem like quite a large amount of unkowns to deal with though
[02:11] <somenickasd> "potentially unknowns"
[02:11] <somenickasd> really one gets that almost any time they cross between vastly different operating systems
[02:12] <commania> Hello
[02:12] <somenickasd> essentially cross operating system functionalities never get tested as well as their native counterparts
[02:12] <somenickasd> but yeah the iso should work fine, just "burn it" to the cd
[02:13] <commania> Does anybody use Ubuntu with Thinkpad X220 and tested Gobi3000 WWAN card?
[02:14] <quaesitor> somenickasd: I've tried it, it is unreadable on the mac that burned it and does not boot in windows.
[02:14] <commania> I ensured it is compatible with my South Korean network carrier but not sure about the Ubuntu yet..
[02:15] <underd0g> commania: just test it out
[02:16] <commania> underd0g, well you're right, it is better to just try it out...
[02:17] <commania> I was just curious if somebody did it and succeeded.
[02:17] <underd0g> commania: iunderstand, its just un likely that anyone has. that is a very specific question
[02:18] <underd0g> if you run into any problems feel free to ask
[02:19] <m321> is it risky to reinstall grub, it asks me to choose between windows 7 or ubuntu on restart and i don't have windows 7 hd in it. doesn't bother me is it worth fixing or should i ignore it do you guys think?
[02:20] <underd0g> n821: just reconfigure the settings with grub-manager in ubuntu
[02:20] <wileee> m321, run sudo update-grub in ubuntu and see if it still shows
[02:21] <m321> cool. no risk it won't break it or anything? lol
[02:21] <m321> i do have boot repair thought i had to use that iso
[02:22] <underd0g> n821: Its called grub customizer and no it wont break anything
[02:22] <m321> no idea about grub-manager either
[02:22] <m321> thanks :)
[02:22] <nomic> screen savers aren't even needed -- why do they cause so many problems
[02:23] <commania> m321, You mean you'd recently formatted the Windows 7 partition so you don't have it anymore?
[02:23] <m321> i actually bought a old hd for spare and it  happen to have 7 on it
[02:24] <m321> guess when i reinstalled ubuntu to LTS it found it
[02:24] <m321> but the os doesn't even load i just forgot to format it, he did too
[02:24] <commania> but nothing inside actually?
[02:24] <m321> nothing i want
[02:24] <m321> its formatted now
[02:24] <m321> Generating grub configuration file ...
[02:24] <m321> Warning: Setting GRUB_TIMEOUT to a non-zero value when GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is set is no longer supported.
[02:25] <m321> then it found a bunch of stuff
[02:25] <m321> found image ect ect
[02:25] <commania> So you should perform sudo update-grub first, and if the problen persists...
[02:25] <m321> i'll restart in a few, thanks :)
[02:25] <commania> oh..
[02:25] <m321> i got boot repair iso maybe its time to learn how to use that, see what happens
[02:26] <underd0g> n821: if that doesnt work i would seriously try grub-customizer, you can edit what OS's show up at the boot menu
[02:26] <underd0g> and its gui, really straight forward
[02:26] <m321> i only have ubuntu installed right now does that matter
[02:27] <underd0g> no
[02:27] <m321> ill check it out, gui is a bonus for me ;)
[02:27] <underd0g> if you want to get rid of the windows boot option, then this is the perfect tool
[02:27] <m321> ill install it, thanks underd0g
[02:27] <underd0g> yup no problem, but try updating grub first
[02:28] <m321> k
[02:28] <commania> oh I have a question...
[02:28] <wileee> underd0g, we don't suggest ppa's here unless it is the last resort. The grub customizer does nothing you can't do already.
[02:28] <commania> I installed burg bootloader for some eye-candy
[02:28] <underd0g> true but if it makes it easier on him, then why not
[02:29] <wileee> underd0g, I don't see how, it is a update that is needed is all.
[02:29] <commania> but it can't recognize resolution so it isn't eye candy at all.
[02:29] <commania> how can i fix that?
[02:29] <m321> no harm good to know in case i'm not too good in terminal :) i did the update i will reboot soon as i finish watching new gotham. thanks to both
[02:29] <commania> I'm using Thinkpad X220 w/HD3000 graphic.
[02:30] <underd0g> wileee: messing with the boot loader is a serious thing if you have no idea how it works
[02:31] <underd0g> commania: you got it to work?
[02:31] <wileee> underd0g, running an update grub is standard, using thed customizer is screwing with it, bad advice in the end, read the channel madel. Apps from the ubuntu repos, no 3rd parties, and your assumptions of easier for another with no proof.
[02:32] <underd0g> wilee: you are absolutely right, i just want to make it easier for the guy. I suggested that he update grub first becuase it most likely will be that
[02:38] <m321> anyone have a fav imagine viewer? only software i have not found that i prefer to windows would be infranveiw, like the tree feature
[02:38] <gshmu> how to close all connection on my pc by ssh
[02:38] <gshmu> I stop ssh service, but the long connection always using
[02:38] <jgranate> Are repositories added in terminal supposed to be reflected in the graphical package manager (I.E. Muon)?
[02:39] <underd0g> n821: feh
[02:41] <underd0g> j granate: yup
[02:49] <m321> tried logging on this server with pidgen forgot it could do irc and got "card.freenode.net: (notice) *** Notice -- You need to identify via SASL to use this server" anyone know what that means?

[02:54] <ubun-noob> Hello! I need help with installing GRUB2 for a Windows 10 dual boot setup.
[02:56] <ubun-noob> Anyone? Please?
[02:57] <ubun-noob> So basically I installed Ubuntu 15.04 alongside Windows 10 and it went well, except for GRUB2 that did not manage to install properly. Now I need to do it manually. How do I go about that?
[02:58] <m321> hey i never tried it but i was just reading this site : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair#Getting_Boot-Repair
[02:58] <m321> i'm also knew so please take others advice before mine just something to look at
[02:59] <salvador> Hi

[03:00] <salvador> Que tal
[03:00] <ubun-noob> m321 Thank you very much, kind gentlesir. I will give those instructions a try. I'll be back soon(ish) to let you know how it went.

[03:03] <Kramerboy> Hello, I have renamed a user account by name using 'sudo usermod -l <newname> <oldname>', but when I log into SFTP on that account, the old username still appears as owner of the files, but the UID is correct. The user account's shell is RSSH and I have forgotten to change the jail's passwd file to reflect the new username. Would this screw things up?
[03:03] <keviv> Any ideas what I can do?
[03:07] <m321> bye room gnite, thanks to all that helped me out again
[03:07] <m321> will return the favor when i know what i'm doing ;)
[03:13] <ubun-noob> Hello! I am having trouble install GRUB2 manually from Ubuntu 15.04. I think I fucked up.
[03:14] <ubun-noob> I am using Windows 10 and have installed Ubuntu properly but GRUB2 will not install and I have no idea what to do. The tutorials I find seem to be outdated somehow.
[03:16] <underd0g> ubun-noob: have you tried sudo apt-get remove grub2, then sudo apt-get install grub2
[03:17] <ubun-noob> underd0g I will try right away!
[03:17] <bindi> hey, would you guys recommend installing TLP on a laptop? looking for more battery life
[03:18] <ubun-noob> underd0g it is not installed. What should I do?
[03:18] <ubun-noob> bindi what's a TLP?
[03:18] <bindi> http://linrunner.de/en/tlp/tlp.html
[03:19] <underd0g> run sudo apt-get install grub2, then sudo apt-get update and then restart and see if that fixes it
[03:19] <ubun-noob> still no idea what that is
[03:19] <bindi> perhaps you are not equipped to answer my question, then :)
[03:19] <ubun-noob> grub2 is not available
[03:19] <ubun-noob> grub-pc-bin grub-pc grub-ieee1275-bin grub-ieee1275 grub-efi-ia32-bin   grub-efi-ia32 grub-efi-amd64-bin grub-efi-amd64
[03:21] <underd0g> ubun-noob: try this and replace the X with the disk you want to boot
[03:21] <underd0g> sudo grub-install /dev/sdX  # Example: sudo grub-install /dev/sda
[03:21] <underd0g> ie sdA
[03:22] <ubun-noob> underd0g I think it just worked by using the --force flag
[03:22] <underd0g> bindi: i use tlp on arch and its good if you know your system
[03:22] <ubun-noob> Installation finished. No error reported. -- Now I'll go see if I bricked my system, lol
[03:22] <bindi> does the 14.04 kernel have a "PHC-patch"? for undervolting
[03:22] <ubun-noob> BBR
[03:22] <ubun-noob> BRB*
[03:22] <bindi> I found some guides for building with phc-patch but those are from 2009
[03:23] <bindi> I would think it is in the kernel already, can I check somehow?
[03:23] <underd0g> check the ubuntu repos
[03:23] <underd0g> and it should still work
[03:23] <keviv> Trying to install wine1.6-amd64, and I get this error http://paste.pound-python.org/show/5JxakxnLonJBAzDcmoqa/
[03:23] <Kramerboy> Hello, I have renamed a user account by name using 'sudo usermod -l <newname> <oldname>', but when I log into SFTP on that account, the old username still appears as owner of the files, but the UID is correct. The user account's shell is RSSH and I have forgotten to change the jail's passwd file to reflect the new username. Would this screw things up?
[03:23] <bindi> the guides? they tell you to wget kernel-2.6 blahblah :P
[03:24] <bindi> i cant find anything relevant in the repos for 'phc'
[03:24] <underd0g> bindi: i think the guides are right
[03:25] <underd0g> bindi: that should work unless the kernel was updated, in which case you could check thier website
[03:25] <bindi> ehh. 14.04 has like 3.19 now?
[03:26] <underd0g> bindi: substitute in the latest version you know of
[03:26] <ubun-noob> underd0g: it didn't work
[03:26] <ubun-noob> so apparently I may have installed grub, but it doesn't show me the options to load windows or ubuntu; it's just a terminal screen
[03:26] <bindi> Note: Current Intel core i CPUs use Intel P-states instead of acpi_cpufreq and are therefor not compatible with PHC.
[03:27] <bindi> i wonder what "current" means.. I have a sandy bridge
[03:27] <itnet7> %
[03:27] <ircnickhere> my old i7 worked with it pretty sure
[03:27] <ircnickhere> so yeah, my guess is your sandy bridge does. idk
[03:28] <underd0g> ubun-noob: check this out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing

[03:28] <bindi> http://thinkwiki.de/PHC-Patch#Ubuntu_12.04_bis_14.10 I'll try this :P
[03:29] <bindi> unless someone strongly objects against it
[03:30] <underd0g> ubun-noob: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing
[03:30] <underd0g> ubun-noob: i have to get to bed, but read that and it should guide you though a new installation all the way through
[03:31] <ubun-noob> underd0g: Thank you very much.
[03:32] <bindi> alright done, lets see
[03:32] <underd0g> ubun-noob: im really sorry i have to leave you at such a bad time, best of luck to you. hope someone else can help you out

[04:38] <lloydC> im not using the DE, im just using nautilus, How can i add a shortcut to a folder on the left pane to nautilus?
[04:39] <cfhowlett> lloydC, if you're using nautilus you ARE using a DE otherwise you'd see nothing except the terminal
[04:40] <XYZAFFA1R> cfhowlett, WM's exits.
[04:40] <XYZAFFA1R> *exist.
[04:40] <XYZAFFA1R> By the way.
[04:40] <XYZAFFA1R> And you could just run nautlius from tty.
[04:41] <lloydC_> sorry wifi went down
[04:42] <lloydC_> otherwise you'd see nothing except the terminal
[04:42] <lloydC_> whats that mean
[04:42] <XYZAFFA1R> lloydC, He is wrong.
[04:42] <lloydC_> i know
[04:43] <XYZAFFA1R> He thinks if you aren't using a DE all you can see is tty.
[04:43] <lloydC_> lolz
[04:43] <lotuspsychje> XYZAFFA1R: please leave the mockery outside this channel
[04:44] <XYZAFFA1R> lotuspsychje, I really didn't mean to mock him, just explain what he meant.
[04:44] <lloydC_> when my system is up on a fresh boot, ready for me to run my gui app, before i run any my ram usage is only 90-ish MB.... how is your 600 MB feeling cfhowlett lol
[04:44] <XYZAFFA1R> Sorry if it seemed that way.
[04:44] <lotuspsychje> XYZAFFA1R: we are al here to learn
[04:44] <cfhowlett> lloydC_, XYZAFFA1R knows more about your issue than I.  please consult him
[04:45] <XYZAFFA1R> I don't use nautilus, I wouldn't know.
[04:45] <XYZAFFA1R> sorry cfhowlett, I didn't mean to offend you.
[04:45] <XYZAFFA1R> If I did.
[04:46] <cfhowlett> XYZAFFA1R, meh.  I've been referred to in much harsher terms so ... let's all just move on, yes?
[04:46] <XYZAFFA1R> cfhowlett, sure, <3
[04:47] <XYZAFFA1R> lloydC_, Is this what you want? http://naveenubuntu.blogspot.com/2012/05/ubuntu-1204-adding-bookmarksshortcuts.html

[05:03] <skynetguy> cfhowlett, hey i wondering i dual boot windows 7 and 12.04 precise..... if i upgrade from update manager to 14.04 will i keep all settings and files ???
[05:04] <cfhowlett> skynetguy, you *should*.  I prefer to maintain a dedicated /home and to clean install my LTS's.
[05:05] <skynetguy> cfhowlett, is it preferable to install 64 bit ubuntu to 64 bit systems than 32bit pae's
[05:06] <cfhowlett> skynetguy, if your box is 64 bit capable, then get 64
[05:07] <skynetguy> cfhowlett, im running 32 bit precise ......if i upgrade to 14.04 in update manager will i get the 64 bit version??
[05:07] <cfhowlett> skynetguy, no.  you'd have to install to change the arch
[05:08] <skynetguy> cfhowlett, ok
[05:09] <cfhowlett> skynetguy, of course, 12.04 is still supported so you have time to plan ...
[05:10] <skynetguy> cfhowlett, yeah i know but all three browsers are buggy on 12.04
[05:10] <cfhowlett> :) skynetguy yep.
[05:10] <skynetguy> cfhowlett, chromium is most stable but it version 37
[05:11] <cfhowlett> skynetguy, can't advise.  ffox is my goto, but I have chrome as well.
[05:12] <lotuspsychje> skynetguy: a re-install clean is a good idea like cfhowlett suggests
[05:12] <skynetguy> ok

[05:58] <yigal> How can I get Evince to honor changes in dconf values, do I need to log out and then back in or something else for active instances of Evince to use the current dconf conf?
[05:58] <yigal> https://gist.github.com/8leggedunicorn/de9ca463e284305e0ff0
[06:02] <yigal> ah for new files it's accepting the new configuration, but it apparently caches per document settings.
[06:02] <yigal> interesting
[06:02] <BitNova> hi, can anyone share some light on this? i was trying to mount a remote drive with sshfs which i eventually got right. and suddenly when i mounted my local drives under media when i click on nautilus, they all mount as ro and now i cant edit anything in them. does anyone know how this happened and how i can get it back to normal to mount my drives as rw again?
[06:05] <yigal> BitNova: how are you mounting the local drives, are they being automounted by Ubuntu?
[06:06] <yigal> BitNova: the one thing that comes to mind is that permissions were changed to set up the sshfs mount.
[06:06] <BitNova> yes, well when i start up ubuntu, they are visible in nautilus and i have always clicked on the drives and then they always mounted themselves.
[06:06] <yigal> BitNova: where did you mount the sshfs share?
[06:06] <BitNova> yea and now im really worried...
[06:07] <BitNova> at a remote location using an external ip
[06:07] <BitNova> but i mounted it in my home directory which has nothing to do with my drives
[06:08] <yigal> BitNova: got it, I just need to ask the obvious so I can understand what might be going on.
[06:08] <BitNova> yigal, no worries - just want to know if i can get things back to normal ?
[06:08] <BitNova> is this all happening in the mtab file?
[06:09] <yigal> BitNova: yah let's take a look at that
[06:09] <yigal> BitNova: it should show the current state of the mounts.
[06:09] <BitNova> ok what do i need to do?
[06:10] <yigal> BitNova: So paste the output of the mtab file to http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[06:10] <yigal> BitNova: So we can take a look at what's going on
[06:11] <yigal> BitNova: we'll likely also want to see dmesg, but it's very verbose so maybe grep for errors first, 'dmesg | grep -i error' something like this
[06:12] <BitNova> ok
[06:13] <yigal> BitNova: also as it won't be too many lines provide the output from the 'df' command
[06:15] <BitNova> yigal, ok. check your pvt quick
[06:16] <Ben64> use a pastebin
[06:17] <BitNova> il have to be back later
[06:28] <asdasd> Hello
[06:28] <asdasd> DOes the lubuntu live iso fit in a cd? The 14.04.3 one IT weighs a little more than 700mb
[06:31] <asdasd> anyone?
[06:32] <Techspectre> asdasd, as far as I know it should fit on a CD-R no problem.
[06:33] <asdasd> Techspectre: Are you sure? It weighs (727 Mb)
[06:34] <Techspectre> asdasd, still, I'm not positive about that. The last few live discs I made were DVD-Rs, and I can't even tell you how long ago I made those. Why don't you just use a USB?
[06:34] <asdasd> Techspectre: Its an old computer, doesnt have usb boot.
[06:34] <wileee> asdasd, There is the mini, a net install it is tiny.
[06:34] <asdasd> 15.10 weighs less but i want LTS.
[06:35] <Techspectre> asdasd, I've encountered that before, chances are it actually does support boot from USB, but it doesn't show as USB, it shows as a hard disk.
[06:36] <Techspectre> asdasd, in the BIOS, when you're assembling the boot order, does it show you two hard disks?
[06:36] <asdasd> Techspectre: No, its a computer from 2000
[06:36] <asdasd> around 2002 or 2003.
[06:36] <asdasd> Its THAT old.
[06:36] <asdasd> However it does have 512mb of ram
[06:36] <Techspectre> Yeah what I'm referring to I encountered on a Pentium 4
[06:36] <Techspectre> Which is like 1998 - 2000
[06:37] <Techspectre> Unless the machine doesn't actually have USB ports, then that's obviously a problem
[06:37] <asdasd> Techspectre: Ok, but if i try to burn it to a cd it will tell me that its too much right?
[06:37] <Techspectre> asdasd, from the get-go the utility you're using will tell you it's too much
[06:38] <Techspectre> Suggest using Brasero
[06:38] <jackhum> I want to install photoshop cs6 in my ubuntu 14.04 , i am using wine with playonlinux to accomplish this , but the problem is i am unable to download this  http://download.microsoft.com/download/d/3/0/d30e32d8-418a-469d-b600-f32ce3edf42d/WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe  from my network , as large files are blocked on my network by my network admin , how
[06:38] <jackhum> can i install this from folder , i will download the exe file from another computer using proxy
[06:40] <Ben64> jackhum: have you checked the appdb
[06:40] <jackhum> Ben64: what ?
[06:40] <Ben64> !appdb | jackhum
[06:41] <Techspectre> Halfway through installing Steam, the Ubuntu software center started to hang. Had to force close it. Now it says 'applying changes' forever and I can't attempt the install again. What should I do?
[06:42] <jackhum> Ben64: i am following this https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCQQFjABahUKEwiK3cLUxozIAhVDtpQKHeizDyk&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bendangelo.me%2Finstall%2F2014%2F10%2F29%2Finstalling-photoshop-cs6-on-ubuntu.html&usg=AFQjCNHgXw62CZdpyPobewvmKUxUG2ICoA&sig2=LDnfJxtE_FdWAhUi1mv5rg
[06:42] <asdasd> Techspectre: Thanks.
[06:43] <jackhum> Ben64: sorry , for long http://www.bendangelo.me/install/2014/10/29/installing-photoshop-cs6-on-ubuntu.html
[06:44] <Ben64> jackhum: i don't see anything about running XP SP3 installer there
[06:44] <Techspectre> Seeing as how Photoshop CS2 is rated to run very well in WINE and yet it's got so many glitches, I can't imagine how poorly CS6 must run...
[06:45] <jackhum> jackhum: well play on linux have already listed the dependencies from its database, playonlinux is showing dependencies required to install ps6
[06:46] <auronandace> jackhum: did you change winecfg to show wine as win7 rather than xp?
[06:47] <Ben64> or just do what the appdb says to do
[06:48] <jackhum> auronandace: i havent changd anything , i am letting playonlinux do the work
[06:51] <Techspectre> Can anyone help me with this ubuntu software center problem? Tried to install steam, and it's infinitely hanging, even after force close
[06:51] <lotuspsychje> !steam | techhelper1
[06:51] <lotuspsychje> Techspectre: ^
[06:52] <Ben64> doesn't really answer the question... just kill dpkg\
[06:52] <Techspectre> lotuspsychje, wait what?
[06:53] <Techspectre> lotuspsychje, the steam client has been out for some time now
[06:54] <Techspectre> Ben64, I tried killing dpkg and it doesn't seem to work... when I reopen the software center it's still 'applying changes'
[06:55] <Ben64> Techspectre: pastebin the output of "ps aux | grep -e 'apt\|dpkg'"
[06:55] <yigal> Techspectre: this is dangerous.  You may need to do some command line fu to get the package manager back in order, apt-get install -f, or other good ones
[06:56] <Techspectre> Ben64, http://pastebin.com/JfBFyHQE
[06:57] <Ben64> eh, might be easier to reboot
[06:57] <Techspectre> yigal, that doesn't sound fun
[06:57] <Techspectre> Ben64, will that work?
[06:57] <Ben64> it'll stop it from running
[06:57] <Ben64> you might have problems afterwards though
[06:57] <yigal> Techspectre: it won't be too painful, just a bit of work
[06:57] <absklb> hi
[06:57] <Techspectre> I imagine I will have problems
[06:58] <Techspectre> So what's the first step in fixing this, reboot?
[06:58] <absklb> why my apt-get install nodejs goes to W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/chris-lea/node.js/ubuntu/dists/vivid/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found
[06:58] <absklb> i never added thet ppa
[06:58] <yigal> Techspectre: good attitude it's best to think this way before doing anything
[06:58] <Ben64> Techspectre: yeah do that first
[06:58] <auronandace> Techspectre: you already have a problem which is why you are here
[06:58] <Ben64> absklb: apparently you did
[06:58] <Techspectre> Let me reboot and I'll be right back.
[06:59] <yigal> Techspectre: I would not reboot
[06:59] <Techspectre> ?
[06:59] <Ben64> yigal: its fine
[06:59] <yigal> Ben64: yes, but he'll get very little from doing it
[06:59] <absklb> Ben64, apparently my files are lieing then.
[06:59] <Ben64> yigal: it'll stop the rogue dpkg processes
[06:59] <yigal> Ben64: best to see what actual state the package manager is in
[06:59] <Ben64> can't as long as they're running
[07:00] <yigal> Ben64: well kill -9, it's the same as a forced reboot
[07:00] <yigal> Ben64: he can strace to see what is going on
[07:00] <Ben64> they're defunct already, much easier to just reboot
[07:00] <dieguin> hi, i got a weird problem. When i log in my ubuntu it works ok, but suddenly after 5 minutes, i dont know why my user disappears. For example if i lock computer, i cant log in back, if i open a term, i get an error saying: Unknown UID, who are u? This only happens 5 min after login in, at first is ok. Can be something wrong in the hard disk?
[07:00] <Techspectre> I mean, it's going to boot, right?
[07:00] <Ben64> Techspectre: yep
[07:00] <Techspectre> Okay, then what's the harm?
[07:00] <Ben64> none
[07:01] <yigal> nothing, but it won't fix things,
[07:01] <Techspectre> Well I'll come back here to fix things. Brb
[07:02] <Techspectre> Okay. Now what.
[07:03] <Ben64> Techspectre: what version ubuntu
[07:03] <Techspectre> Ben64, 15.04
[07:03] <Ben64> try installing steam again
[07:04] <absklb> Ben64, so why there is no search result for keyword in my etc/apt/sources.list ?
[07:04] <Techspectre> Should I try anything like apt update first
[07:04] <Ben64> Techspectre: the software center takes care of that
[07:04] <Ben64> absklb: because it's likely in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[07:04] <absklb> oh! ubuntu!
[07:05] <Techspectre> Ben64, ran it anyway, and it tells me 'dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.' do it?
[07:05] <absklb> Ben64, there is also ubuntu-desktop-ubuntu-ubuntu-make-vivid.list what is it? is it safe to delete?
[07:06] <Ben64> Techspectre: run what it says and pastebin if it fails
[07:06] <Ben64> absklb: you shouldn't go around deleting anything from system folders
[07:06] <absklb> :-(
[07:08] <Techspectre> Ben64, seems like all is fine now. Did dpkg configure, did an apt-get upgrade, worked fine, then installed steam with the software center, worked fine.
[07:09] <Ben64> have you opened steam yet
[07:09] <Techspectre> Yes
[07:09] <Ben64> then yay
[07:09] <Techspectre> Indeed, yay!
[07:09] <Techspectre> Ben64, yigal, auronandace thanks for the help
[07:10] <Techspectre> Ben64, originally the error had happened in AppGrid (ubuntu software center alternative) should I not use that?
[07:11] <Ben64> i wouldn't
[07:11] <Techspectre> Use what you know works, I guess
[07:13] <borsuk> hello
[07:20] <KervyN> gosh peta.. http://motherboard.vice.com/read/peta-sues-for-copyright-on-behalf-of-selfie-taking-monkey :-/
[07:26] <oskie> hello, I have an up-to-date "stock" trusty server using 3.2G for kmalloc-512 slab, and I need to know if there is anything I should do before I reboot it
[07:32] <jackhum> is there any way i can fake GET from network on my computer ? for eg . playonlinux want to get some package from a url which is blocked by my admin , so , i want to give it package which i have on my usb
[07:33] <Lyze> You could add a entry to the hosts file so the ip gets redirected to localhost and then start a http server there which containts the path to the file
[07:33] <Lyze> else the download script should be available online on the play on linux site ... you could edit that to set the correct position of the package
[07:33] <learner001> Hey guys I setup a local repo following this guide but I am unable to access it. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion
[07:33] <learner001> any suggestions?
[07:34] <learner001> I may have messed up apache config
[07:34] <jackhum> Lyze: how can i serve exe file?
[07:35] <Lyze> jackhum: .... lets try it like that: https://www.playonlinux.com/en/supported_apps.html  .... search for the application
[07:35] <Lyze> jackhum: click on the link then on "source code" ... edit the source code and add the game via the custom source code
[07:36] <jackhum> Lyze: i cant see any source code
[07:37] <jackhum> Lyze : i want to install photoshop cs6 ,
[07:37] <Lyze> jackhum: https://www.playonlinux.com/en/app-2316-Adobe_Photoshop_CS6.html ... scroll down a bit ... under the screenshots
[07:39] <jackhum> Lyze: yeah , okay it is trying to download WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU
[07:41] <jackhum> Lyze: tell me way to patch the host file , i want a certain url get redirected to my usb
[07:41] <Lyze> jackhum: oh I get it ... sorry. Thought you had a different problem. Can't help you there :/
[07:42] <artisanIndia> will safari on ubuntu perform same as it performs on mac
[07:42] <artisanIndia> ?
[07:43] <auronandace> artisanIndia: is that via wine?
[07:43] <absklb> artisanIndia, does it even install on linux?
[07:44] <Sachiru> How would you go about making xz accept a stream? Running "dmesg | xz <outputfile>" does not work.
[07:45] <artisanIndia> via playonlinux
[07:45] <geirha> Sachiru: dmesg | xz > outputfile
[07:45] <auronandace> artisanIndia: you will have to try it and see
[07:46] <artisanIndia> is there anyway to impersonate safari with installing it
[07:46] <geirha> oh and slap a .xz on the end of that filename ;)
[07:46] <artisanIndia> or may be a website which tells you how your website looks on different browers
[07:46] <Lyze> There shouldn't be a difference between chrome/chromium and sfari
[07:46] <Lyze> safari
[07:48] <artisanIndia> both of them use same webkit ?
[07:49] <absklb> artisanIndia, thats just frontend to wine
[07:49] <absklb> artisanIndia, why do you want Safari?
[07:49] <Lyze> Chrome uses a fork of it ... but if you really want to test a website on safari under linux then install it via POL yeah ...
[07:52] <artisanIndia> everyone uses mac these days and I want to make responsive website for safari(mac)/chrome/firefox
[07:53] <absklb> artisanIndia, get real hardware or use simulation software for testing.
[07:54] <absklb> artisanIndia, dont rely on wine.
[07:54] <bindi> how can I change my touchpad right edge scroll size?
[07:54] <artisanIndia> yeah thining of that only
[07:54] <bindi> im fiddling with xinput set-prop, i found my values for synaptics edge scrolling are 1 0 0
[07:55] <atralheaven_> I have an annoying problem, I can't show it with screenshot because it doesn't capture mouse cursor. if anyone here has ubuntu 14.04 installed, please open an image file with the default image viewer, and drag the image inside of it to a folder, check if you have this problem too?
[07:55] <Lyze> atralheaven_: phone cam?
[07:56] <atralheaven_> Lyze: no, I found it, I will give you the link now
[07:57] <atralheaven_> its here with a picture http://askubuntu.com/questions/595565/seeing-two-mouse-cursors
[07:58] <atralheaven_> please fix this bug in updates
[07:58] <atralheaven_> thanks...
[07:58] <absklb> atralheaven_, go to launcchpad annd mark affect me too
[07:59] <Ben64> you'd need to report the bug first
[07:59] <atralheaven_> it seems that its reported
[07:59] <absklb> ...
[07:59] <atralheaven_> but not fixed yet
[07:59] <Ben64> you didn't link to a bug report
[07:59] <Ben64> and i'm unable to reproduce the problem here
[08:00] <Sachiru> geirha, thanks!
[08:04] <atralheaven_> Ben64: its a link to the problem, but I saw bug reports on google results
[08:04] <atralheaven_> Ben64: what's your ubuntu version?
[08:05] <atralheaven_> Ben64: I have 14.04 and that guy has 14.10
[08:06] <Aqui1a> Hello. Whenever I start my computer, and start up Dropbox, it says that the folder is missing. This seeeeeeems to be fixed once I manually open the hard drive it's on from the 'Places' menu. Once I do this and restart Dropbox, it starts just fine... Am I right in thinking that this is because that drive has not been mounted?
[08:06] <auronandace> atralheaven_: it seems like it may be a graphics driver issue
[08:07] <Lyze> Aqui1a: yeah ... try to start dropbox delayed: e.g. "sleep 60 ; dropbox" (or whatever the command is c: )
[08:07] <atralheaven_> auronandace: I don't know, I just wanted to report, but when I searched I saw its reported, but its not fixed yet
[08:07] <Aqui1a> Lyze, I don't even start Dropbox on boot. It happens no matter what, right up until I manually start up the drive to look inside it.
[08:08] <Aqui1a> Lyze, I was thinking somehow... making it mount automatically?
[08:08] <Lyze> Aqui1a: ohh yeah ... then it's def. not mounted.
[08:08] <auronandace> atralheaven_: try the same thing in a newer release
[08:08] <Aqui1a> Lyze, I never knew drives were not mounted until you opened them up in the file browser :D
[08:09] <auronandace> !fstab | Aqui1a
[08:09] <Lyze> Aqui1a: They aren't when they aren't in the /etc/fstab file. When you "open the drive" in a file explorer it gets mounted automatically
[08:09] <Aqui1a> Ah, thanks guys
[08:10] <Aqui1a> you both mentioned this fstab thingy
[08:10] <Aqui1a> I'll look into this, cheers
[08:10] <EriC^^> Aqui1a: an easy way to mount it automatically is to add the command used in the filemanager to your startup apps for your user
[08:10] <Aqui1a> auronandace, that second link doesn't work anymore
[08:11] <EriC^^> ( gvfs-mount -d /dev/sdxY )
[08:11] <Aqui1a> hmm
[08:12] <atralheaven_> auronandace: I only have 14.04 and I don't want to change it... it works fine, but I think they should fix it on updates on every version that gets the updates
[08:13] <auronandace> atralheaven_: if you are using a proprietary graphics driver (and if the issue is definitely graphics related) then there is nothing ubuntu can do about it
[08:17] <atralheaven_> auronandace: how can I check that?
[08:17] <Lyze> astralheaven_ in the settings http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/images/driversprecise01.jpg
[08:18] <auronandace> atralheaven_: pastebin lsmod
[08:18] <Aqui1a> Alright, I've changed it. Now to test it out! ^^
[08:21] <Trinity> hi, i'm using pulse audio. one of my applications allows for a mic and i'm trying to config it. When I use my mic it will show up on the recordings tab but when I don't it wont. The problem is, my application is basically a game and has to be on screen for the mic to be active
[08:21] <Trinity> is there another way to configure the mic?
[08:21] <Trinity> or have the recording application stay for a bit longer?
[08:22] <Trinity> nvmd
[08:22] <ObrienDave> *that was easy* ;P
[08:27] <Nyt129X> Hi everyone ,I'm fairly new to C++ and Ubuntu , Since I'm a beginner .I'm using Gedit to do my codings , Would you mind recommending a plugin for CODE COMPLETION / SUGGESTIONS for Gedit ??
[08:29] <Nyt129X> Hi everyone ,I'm fairly new to C++ and Ubuntu , Since I'm a beginner .I'm using Gedit to do my codings , Would you mind recommending a plugin for CODE COMPLETION / SUGGESTIONS for Gedit ??
[08:29] <hateball> !repeat | Nyt129X
[08:30] <Nyt129X> hateball: :-P
[08:30] <hateball> Nyt129X: I don't know much about Gedit, but have you considered using an alternative editor?
[08:30] <hateball> Nyt129X: For instance Kate
[08:31] <Nyt129X> hateball: The thing is I spent some time in setting gedit up...(autocompile / embedded terminal etc..) Was thinking it'll be great to continue with this !!
[08:31] <hateball> Nyt129X: Fair enough :)
[08:32] <Nyt129X> I have an IDE (trial version) but the PROJECT scenario is giving me trouble when , I'm doing simple code files given in the class...
[08:32] <jackhum> playonlinux application is using a mircrosoft server url to get a large file , as the file is blocked on my network , the md5sum of the file on server doesnt match with the  local one , i want a nifty hack so that i can install dependency using file present in my usb
[08:32] <Nyt129X> jackhum: Sorry , NO idea :-(
[08:33] <atralheaven_> auronandace: http://hastebin.com/omacitokac.hs
[08:34] <jackhum> Nyt129X: i dont think , gedit has code completion or suggestions , you can get jetbrains clion
[08:36] <Nyt129X> jackhum: Hmmmm....I'm actually trying out a trial of Clion :-D  , But its working with PROJECTS ...In my case this its going to be mainly a few individual C++ files that needs to be compiled and run.For atleast a few months. TIll then I need something which is NOT using projects or make files :-)
[08:37] <Nyt129X> jackhum: after that , Yes I will be going ahead with Clion for the assignments..
[08:37] <jackhum> codeblocks
[08:38] <jackhum> i use geany for my seperate c++ files . but it doesnt have codecompletions
[08:38] <Lyze> eclipse w/ the c/c++ plugin would be a different option. works pretty well except that it has a built in terminal ... which sucks a bit
[08:39] <Nyt129X> jackhum: i see...Guess I'll have to live without codecompletion ;-)  , atleast it'll help with the learning experience .
[08:40] <Nyt129X> Lyze: WIll it work with seperate c++ files (not part of a single project) without having to re-configure the makefiles etc ??? I dont think so...
[08:40] <smellsLikeGoatSp> hello everyone, I am trying to load Ubuntu-Mate onto a MicroSD card
[08:40] <smellsLikeGoatSp> the ddrescue command wont budge though
[08:41] <Lyze> Nyt129X: hmm what do you mean? ... Do you need a self created makefile and don't want to let eclipse generate one? ... Eclipse itself can link two projects together w/o a problem
[08:41] <popey> smellsLikeGoatSp: define "won't budge"? what exact command are you using?
[08:41] <smellsLikeGoatSp> also I am not really sure what to do with f2fs and the root of the SD
[08:42] <Nyt129X> Lyze: Nope , What I want is to run simple c++ files without having to go with makefiles etc.Just to compile and run.
[08:42] <smellsLikeGoatSp> popey: I am running sudo ddrescue -d -D --force file.img /dev/sdb program ends with error: can't open input file
[08:42] <smellsLikeGoatSp> popey: I am following this https://ubuntu-mate.org/raspberry-pi/
[08:42] <Nyt129X> Lyze: This is for my class , When it's time for the assignments and REAL DEVELOPMENT , I'll use an IDE .
[08:43] <popey> smellsLikeGoatSp: your sd card is sdb?
[08:43] <popey> smellsLikeGoatSp: you need to replace "file.img" with the actual filename of the image file
[08:43] <smellsLikeGoatSp> well no it is /mmc..
[08:43] <smellsLikeGoatSp> popey: I did that
[08:43] <Lyze> Nyt129X: yes that's what eclipse does … it simply executes the commands (will be printed into the terminal) [I think the makefile was a different option so it doesn't generate one normally]
[08:43] <popey> smellsLikeGoatSp: right, I asked you to paste the exact command
[08:44] <smellsLikeGoatSp> popey: I am sorry I though I would save us some time." sudo ddrescue -d -D --force ubuntu-mate-15.04-desktop-armhf-raspberry-pi-2.img /dev/mmcblk0 "
[08:45] <KervyN> hi, some1 got an idea how to configure squid3 to cache by filename? I want to build a deb/rpm proxy and ignore the hostname
[08:45] <popey> smellsLikeGoatSp: are you in the directory where that file is, when you run the command?
[08:45] <smellsLikeGoatSp> popey: yes
[08:45] <Nyt129X> Lyze: I see...Is there anyway to do so in netbeans ?? The way I see it Eclipse seems to be somewhat tooo heavy for my needs ??
[08:45] <popey> smellsLikeGoatSp: because if it can't open the input file, you're probably not sat in ~/Downloads
[08:46] <popey> smellsLikeGoatSp: can you pastebin (paste.ubuntu.com) the output of "ls *.img" and the output from running the ddrescue command?
[08:47] <Lyze> Nyt129X: I never tried using netbeans for that. Ohh ... another editor would be sublime which should have plugins for autocompleting c++ code
[08:48] <Lyze> Nyt129X: you can also enter some custom build commands for that. so simply press on a button and it'll execute those commands
[08:51] <Nyt129X> Lyze: Hmmmmmmmmmm............
[08:51] <smellsLikeGoatSp> popey: done! http://paste.ubuntu.com/12529688/ now be aware that I havent a sd card with me atm hence I have just stuck a usb pendrive to do the trick
[08:51] <Nyt129X> Lyze: Let's see :-) Thanks a lot..
[08:52] <Lyze> Yeah no problem c:
[08:52] <popey> smellsLikeGoatSp: use /dev/sdb, not /dev/sdb1, for one thing.
[08:54] <smellsLikeGoatSp> popey: I have been running the ddrescue command on /dev/mmcblk0 and not /dev/mmcblk0p1 when I had an SD. do you want me to run in again on /dev/sdb?
[08:55] <smellsLikeGoatSp> popey: I read that f2s filesystem are recommended. but I am not the best shot at managing sd's
[08:55] <popey> smellsLikeGoatSp: ddrescue will wipe the device, so it doesn't matter that the device was f2s before hand
[08:56] <popey> smellsLikeGoatSp: ahh! do you have the gddrescue package installed? There's apparently two of them
[08:56] <popey> smellsLikeGoatSp: (conveniently the Ubuntu MATE developer is standing behind me telling me this) :D
[08:57] <popey> smellsLikeGoatSp: so, sudo apt-get install gddrescue  and then re-run the command, should work, and yes, use /dev/sdb, not /dev/sdb1, or /dev/mmcblk0 not /dev/mmcblk0p1 etc
[08:58] <smellsLikeGoatSp> popey: thanks for that! to both of you. I am afraid that is the same package I installed last night yet. I am trying again and get back to you
[08:58] <smellsLikeGoatSp> popey: same package
[08:59] <JE_> hello
[08:59] <EriC^^> smellsLikeGoatSp: is the -d flag needed? "use direct disc access for input file" ?
[09:01] <smellsLikeGoatSp> EriC^^: I think you are overestimating me ahah mmh I just copied and pasted from the installation tutorial. should I try without?
[09:02] <Deadmarshal> hi
[09:03] <ajay_> hello
[09:05] <ren0v0> tgm4883, I couldn't ping the server, in fact my IRC client wouldn't connect because i use the hostname for it. So i did a lookup and it shows the "server" with IP, i tried to ping after this command and it still didn't work
[09:05] <ren0v0> tgm4883, http://pastebin.com/cGK3qGc9
[09:09] <atralheaven_> this is output of lsmod: "http://hastebin.com/omacitokac.hs" am I using a proprietary graphics driver?
[09:10] <smellsLikeGoatSp> EriC^^,popey: I am heading to class I will be back later and I will try on a microSDHC this time. thanks for the help. have a good one!
[09:11] <stonerl> atralheaven_: you have an intel card?
[09:21] <g105b_> I just killed my PC by uninstalling old linux headers. My original problem is identical to http://askubuntu.com/questions/298487 , I followed the top answer, but on reboot all my laptop does is perform a blue-screen memory scan thing... can't boot!
[09:22] <g105b_> Is there a way to repair the install on my laptop's hard drive? Can I put the linux headers back in some way?
[09:24] <Lyze> g105b: you can boot into a live cd then chroot into the os itself. after that you can install the packages again
[09:24] <limbera_> i want to set up a little shared directory of files for my office
[09:24] <limbera_> we're all on different platforms, ubuntu + os x + win 8
[09:25] <limbera_> and i don't want to use dropbox (and clog outbound bandwidth)
[09:25] <limbera_> are there any good open source apps for ubuntu i should know about?
[09:25] <ren0v0> just use samba?
[09:25] <k1l_> limbera_: use samba
[09:26] <k1l_> which is also known as "windows data exchange service"
[09:26] <Anthaas> My laptop seems to struggle to maintain a wifi connection, it keeps getting disconnected - Im assuming this isnt normal behaviour although my other laptop had the same problem - any ideas?
[09:26] <limbera_> i want to host it on the ubuntu machine
[09:26] <g105b_> Lyze: please can you guide me? This sounds like big boy Linux :)
[09:26] <ren0v0> limbera_, and?
[09:27] <ren0v0> limbera_, even nautilus has UI support for this is you can't be bothered with CL
[09:27] <g105b_> Lyze: I've mounted my hard drive with the broken Ubuntu, not sure how to chroot.
[09:27] <ren0v0> just right click a folder and "local network share", you may want to check your samba config though and lock things down, i'm not sure what defaults are
[09:27] <Lyze> g105b: chroot /path/to/harddrive
[09:27] <atralheaven_> stonerl: I have both intel and nvidia, its switchable
[09:28] <hithere> hi
[09:28] <g105b_> Lyze: oh its as simple as that... do I then just run my normal apt-get commands to reinstall the things I just removed?
[09:28] <hithere> is there a keyboard shortcut in kate for jumping into the console window?
[09:28] <k1l_> !samba | limbera_
[09:28] <Lyze> g105b: yes c:
[09:29] <Lyze> g105b: it basically changes the root directory ( / ) to ( /path/to/damagedOs ) and executes everything there
[09:31] <Anthaas> My laptop seems to struggle to maintain a wifi connection, it keeps getting disconnected - Im assuming this isnt normal behaviour although my other laptop had the same problem - any ideas?
[09:31] <JE_> hello all
[09:31] <JE_> how are you doing?
[09:31] <g105b_> Lyze: I'm getting a lot of errors like: Fatal Python error: Failed to open /dev/urandom
[09:31] <g105b_> (inside the broken hard drive)
[09:31] <Lyze> g105b: exectued it as root? (sudo chroot /path/to/disk)?
[09:33] <g105b_> Lyze: yeah I definitely used root.. just checked. `sudo chroot /media/broken/hdd` then if I run something like `su g105b` it gives me `bash: /dev/null: Permission denied`
[09:34] <EriC^^> g105b_: you need to mount bind the virtual filesystems from the live cd to the chroot
[09:34] <EriC^^> type exit
[09:34] <EriC^^> then type for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /path/to/broken/hdd$i; done
[09:35] <trijntje> I have made a shared folder in virtualbox, it gets mounted under /media automatically, but I cannot access it as a user because I keep getting 'permission denied' errors. How can I fix this?
[09:35] <g105b_> EriC^^: ok done that, now do I just `chroot /path/to/broken` again?
[09:36] <EriC^^> g105b_: yeah
[09:36] <g105b_> EriC^^: thanks, no more errors :)
[09:36] <EriC^^> np
[09:36] <g105b_> need to work out which Linux headers to reinstall now...
[09:38] <g105b_> Is there a way I can tell which Linux headers _should_ be installed on the broken system?
[09:38] <k1l_> g105b_: make sure "linux-generic" is installed. that will install the recent kernel and headers
[09:39] <EriC^^> you can get a list of installed kernels with dpkg -l | grep "^ii.*linux-image"
[09:39] <EriC^^> g105b_: also you can see what was removed in /var/log/apt/history.log
[09:39] <yray> hello the good people of the Net, I have a tiny question about praat may i ask it here?
[09:41] <g105b_> k1l_: EriC^^: Thanks so much!
[09:41] <g105b_> rebooting now, wish me luck!
[09:41] <Lyze> !ask | yray
[09:41] <EriC^^> g105b_: exit the chroot before rebooting so it doesn't hang
[09:42] <EriC^^> ( just type exit )
[09:43] <Kartagis> (or Ctrl+D)
[09:44] <yray> i am working (trying) with praat, and I want to make a script that has to be able to automatically transcribe the selected vowel, like detecting what the vowel is. Praat itself has a very nice machine learning FFNet available but I have two problems: 1 how can i enter about a half a million of rows of data about vowels into praat pattern, and also after the learning how can i use the learned network to detect the selected vowels by the user??
[09:44] <Silentlord> hi how come i don't have com.canonical.Unity.panel, because i have trayicon and it doesn't show and for the google chrome it shows
[09:46] <yray> i  knw this might not be the place to ask this, but can you please tell me where to go, cause it seems there is no working community or group available for praat that is working any more
[09:46] <yray> or if you know the answer to my question already may you share?
[09:47] <bindi> how can I add google calendar into ubuntu? (not using evolution)
[09:50] <Silentlord> hi how come i don't have com.canonical.Unity.panel, because i have trayicon and it doesn't show and for the google chrome it shows
[09:51] <scuba323> bindi: does your calendar application support Caldav?
[09:51] <bindi> scuba323: my calendar application? you mean ubuntu's calendar application? what?
[09:51] <scuba323> bindi: if that's the one you plan on using then yes
[09:51] <bindi> I dont know what ubuntu's calendar application is, I looked at "online accounts" and adding a google account mentioned nothing about google calendar
[09:52] <mahendra> Does anyone know how to connect office communicator with ubuntu14.04LTS?.
[09:52] <Lyze> bindi: you can export the google calendar as caldav
[09:53] <MonkehParade> Uhm,hey people c:
[09:53] <bindi> unity->calendar "sorry there is nothing that matches your search"
[09:53] <ren0v0> when i try and mount a NFS on ubuntu with sudo mount -t nfs, the permissions are borked for my mounted DIR, they are owned by user "libuuid"  ??
[09:53] <bindi> clicking on the "taskbar" calendar does nothing
[09:54] <MonkehParade> Hi.
[09:54] <MonkehParade> I'm on Ubuntu 12.04.
[09:54] <MonkehParade> How do I upgrade my modem-manager?
[09:55] <scuba323> well a quick Google search says there is no default. I find that hard to believe 😛
[09:56] <MonkehParade> Hello? :c
[09:56] <Anthaas> Hi guys, I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro R50-B-186 and it is struggling to find and maintain a wireless connection, could someone help?
[09:57] <Anthaas> This came with Windows installed which has been removed and had Ubuntu 14.04 installed.
[10:01] <yungBLUD> Does anyone have much experience with a laptop with nvidia on Ubuntu?
[10:01] <Kartagis> a few months ago, I was helped by someone about screen tear. it still happens. http://i.imgur.com/fOMyDwM.png any ideas?
[10:02] <k1l_> !details | yungBLUD
[10:03] <MonkehParade> Hello :c
[10:03] <Anthaas> Linux on laptops just seems a right pain in the arse
[10:03] <yungBLUD> Basically I have setup a dual boot on my laptop. It now overheats slightly and the fans don't stop running. This is just while doing nothing. Should my Fujitsu lifebook be using nvidia card while just on desktop or only in games etc? I've tried installing bumblebee but unsure if its working.
[10:03] <MonkehParade> I'm on an Ubuntu 12.04 system, how do I upgrade my modem-manager? :/
[10:04] <MonkehParade> The existing version is giving me problems :/
[10:04] <MonkehParade> i.e constantly crashing
[10:04] <yungBLUD> Also another issue is my WiFi is really bad. Drops out and only gets 10mb when. My internet is 100
[10:04] <k1l_> yungBLUD: bumblebee is deprecated. use nvidia-prime which comes with the nvidia driver now
[10:04] <Anthaas> yungBLUD: I am also having wifi issues, my previous laptop was the same...
[10:05] <yungBLUD> OK so I just Google and install the drivers? Is there a way to check if its running on Intel or nvidia after?
[10:05] <k1l_> yungBLUD: go to: system settings: software and updates: last tab.
[10:06] <yungBLUD> That's great I'll have a go at that.
[10:06] <Anthaas> k1l_: "No addtional drivers available"
[10:06] <MonkehParade> yep, no one is going to answer my question.
[10:06] <yungBLUD> What about the WiFi. What are the best things to try with that? On windows 10 I'm getting 80mb easily
[10:06] <MonkehParade> If no one here knows, at least have the decency to say that :/
[10:06] <k1l_> Anthaas: that was not directed at you. and it seems you dont use a amd or nvidia card then
[10:07] <k1l_> yungBLUD: depending on the exact card there might be solutions
[10:07] <Anthaas> k1l_: I do not, I have an intel card.
[10:07] <k1l_> Anthaas: so that is right then. but my solution was not directed to you at all. see the nick in front of the line i posted
[10:07] <MonkehParade> *sigh*
[10:08] <cfhowlett> !patience | MonkehParade,
[10:08] <yungBLUD> thanks k1l I'll look into it and find out the card type. Also I have USB WiFi dongle I can try.
[10:08] <Anthaas> Sorry, I thought you were referring to the same issue regarding wifi problems
[10:08] <MonkehParade> cfhowlett: I've been repeating the same question constantly :/
[10:09] <cfhowlett> MonkehParade, that is exactly why you need to stop
[10:09] <k1l_> MonkehParade: if no one in here is online who knows the answer try to ask on ubuntuforums, askubuntu, mailinglist or discourse
[10:09] <MonkehParade> *sigh*
[10:10] <MonkehParade> I've done all of them.
[10:10] <trijntje> I have made a shared folder in virtualbox, it gets mounted under /media automatically, but I cannot access it as a user because I keep getting 'permission denied' errors. How can I fix this?
[10:10] <k1l_> MonkehParade: ok, then the answer you dont want to here: get the source and compile it.
[10:11] <EriC^^> trijntje: i think you need to access it as root
[10:11] <EriC^^> trijntje: for vm's i've lately just used ssh to copy dirs and stuff it's way easier
[10:12] <MonkehParade> k1l_: Tried that, and installed a boat-load of dependencies, still doesn't work.
[10:15] <trijntje> EriC^^, even as root it doesnt work, but I'd really like to get a shared folder working since I'll be using it a lot
[10:16] <Qwertie> Will installing unity8-desktop-session-mir damage my system at all?
[10:25] <Nyt129X> ubottu: If it's overheating and power management ur worried about ? Pls check out tlp.
[10:28] <Nyt129X> yungBLUD: If it's overheating and power management ur worried about ? Pls check out tlp.
[10:31] <venkat_> hi
[10:31] <venkat_> anyone know about makefiles??
[10:31] <venkat_> is there any way to update a rule
[10:32] <k1l_> venkat_: we will never know if you dont ask a specific question :)
[10:32] <venkat_> rule actually lies in another file
[10:32] <kreelly__> is it possible to show on unity apps panel only windows that opened on current monitor ? cant find option that enables that behaviour
[10:32] <venkat_> install :
[10:32] <venkat_> the install rule lies in another file
[10:32] <venkat_> and i am including the file
[10:33] <Nyt129X> yungBLUD: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/04/improve-power-usage-battery-life-in.html
[10:33] <venkat_> is there anyway to execute my commands along with the install
[10:38] <ren0v0> Anyone have a clue why an NFS mounted would have these permissions?      0 drwxrwx--T+  1 libuuid libuuid   72 Feb 27  2015 readynas
[10:38] <absklb> venkat_, what software? what install command?
[10:39] <venkat_> i am trying to update a rule in makefiles
[10:40] <absklb> makefiles of which software?
[10:40] <EriC^^> ren0v0: how are you mounting it?
[10:40] <venkat_> postgresql
[10:40] <absklb> venkat_, you want to install postgresql?
[10:40] <venkat_> i have a shared library for postgres
[10:40] <ren0v0> EriC^^, sudo mount -t nfs <ip>:/<share> <mount_loc>
[10:41] <absklb> venkat_, what are you actually trying to do?
[10:41] <EriC^^> ren0v0: no idea
[10:41] <venkat_> and postgres allows installation of shared libraries too from its makefiles
[10:41] <venkat_> i will tellu clearly
[10:41] <venkat_> postgresql has a .mk file
[10:42] <EriC^^> ren0v0: type getfacl <mountpoint>
[10:42] <absklb> wait.
[10:42] <absklb> venkat_, so yoou just want to install some other library inside postgres?
[10:42] <absklb> venkat_, better ask in #postgres
[10:42] <venkat_> ok
[10:42] <ren0v0> EriC^^, what am i looking for there?
[10:42] <EriC^^> ren0v0: nevermind
[10:43] <EriC^^> thought it might have extra user permissions there
[10:43] <ren0v0> gotta be related to remote permissions i guess?
[10:44] <EriC^^> maybe
[10:50] <pa> hi, is it possible to move the unity launcher to the bottom?
[10:50] <EriC^^> no
[10:51] <EriC^^> there are dockers though, cairo-dock and others
[10:52] <k1l_> pa: no
[10:52] <termos> Is there a way to keep the ubuntu look on programs like chrome and all the keyboard settings and networking stuff from Unity, when I change to a different WM?
[10:56] <user> hi
[10:56] <jpds> termos: Isn't that the whole point of a window manager?
[10:56] <user> +0
[10:56] <user> how are you
[10:56] <user> people
[10:56] <jpds> pa: No
[10:56] <Guest92868> кто русский
[10:56] <cfhowlett> user, ask your ubuntu question
[10:56] <cfhowlett> !ru | Guest92868
[10:58] <kreelly__> is it possible to show on unity apps panel only windows that opened on current monitor (dual monitor config) ? cant find option that enables that behaviour
[10:59] <absklb> Package 'passenger-common1.9.1' has no installation candidate
[11:00] <absklb> even after adding their repo as described here https://www.phusionpassenger.com/library/install/apache/install/oss/vivid/
[11:00] <absklb> on 15.04
[11:10] <g105b> k1l_: please could you remind me of how to mount a chmod using the for ... done command? You helped me just before 10:00UTC but my chat history doesn't go back that for
[11:10] <g105b> chroot not chmod
[11:11] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot g105b
[11:11] <k1l_> g105b: i wasnt online at that time, but you can see the official logs:
[11:11] <k1l_> !logs | g105b
[11:11] <g105b> it wasn't you?
[11:14] <g105b> k1l_: ah you did help me but it wasn't you who told me how to mount. Thanks for the log link, very useful.
[11:26] <nix_> Hi. I have a problem with my touchpad. It isn't working. Can someone help out?
[11:27] <nix_> I am using a Dell 7348 13 laptop.
[11:27] <nix_> It also has a touchscreen.
[11:28] <nix_> Touchscreen works but touchpad doesn't.
[11:29] <BitNova> anyone know why dmesg has no output on anything i type? even with sudo?
[11:30] <EriC^^> BitNova: try ls -l /var/log/dmesg
[11:30] <jackhum> My Ubuntu doest show theme at all. I mean it shows default theme after reboot
[11:31] <BitNova> EriC^^, that only says -rw-r----- 1 root adm
[11:32] <EriC^^> what's after adm?
[11:32] <EriC^^> the number
[11:32] <BitNova> 73269
[11:32] <EriC^^> ok, so it has data
[11:33] <BitNova> but why is there no output on terminal?
[11:33] <EriC^^> BitNova: did you do sudo dmesg -C ?
[11:34] <BitNova> yes.. nothing
[11:34] <EriC^^> just now or before?
[11:34] <BitNova> now
[11:34] <spaceship> My touchpad doesn't seem to work. I'm on 14.04.03.
[11:34] <EriC^^> that clears the ring buffer
[11:34] <EriC^^> i meant if you did it earlier, it would explain no output
[11:35] <BitNova> i didnt do that before at all... and still no output..
[11:36] <jackhum> My Ubuntu doesn't shutdown restart. And when it start it is not showing theme.  It just shows default theme. Whereas unity tweak shows different theme. I think the whole themeing capabilitty has gone haywire
[11:37] <EriC^^> BitNova: i've no idea
[11:39] <BitNova> EriC^^, i need to see whats happening, because my drives that i usually mount through nautilus (by clicking them) mount all as ro.
[11:39] <spaceship> Can someone help out with my touchpad problem?
[11:39] <EriC^^> BitNova: type cat /var/log/dmesg
[11:39] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[11:39] <EriC^^> BitNova: or cat /var/log/kern.log
[11:39] <absklb> hi
[11:39] <absklb> what provides #include "pyconfig.h"
[11:40] <absklb> jackhum, delete .config and restart and check if problem persists.
[11:40] <trijntje> absklb, probably python-dev, or python3-dev
[11:41] <absklb> trijntje, checking....
[11:41] <BitNova> EriC^^, that works, im getting output. but how do i filter for errors
[11:42] <EriC^^> BitNova: grep -i error /var/log/kern.log
[11:42] <mahendra> Any help connecting with office communicator?.
[11:43] <BitNova> EriC^^,  i get EXT4-fs (sda5): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro
[11:44] <spaceship> I have a Dell 7348 13 laptop that has a touchscreen too. The touchpad doesn't seem to be working on Ubuntu 14.04.03.
[11:45] <absklb> trijntje, worked. thanks.
[11:46] <EriC^^> BitNova: that's not an error, it's normal
[11:47] <BitNova> oh ok.. but what about my other drives EriC^^ ? they all mounted as ro. and this all happened after i mounted a remote drive in my home drive using sshfs
[11:48] <BitNova> ive done something and it has messed up the mounting
[11:48] <EriC^^> BitNova: type mount and check the output
[11:49] <spaceship> Wow...
[11:50] <BitNova> EriC^^, one of the drives says /Media1 type ntfs (ro,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177,uhelper=udisks2)
[11:51] <EriC^^> BitNova: it says /Media1 ?
[11:52] <BitNova> sorry EriC^^ , i mean it says /dev/sdc1 on /media/USER/Media1 type ntfs (ro,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177,uhelper=udisks2)
[11:53] <BitNova> EriC^^, so clearly its mounted as ro... right?  do you know why its mounting all my drives as ro?
[11:54] <Lope> I need to make phonecalls from my laptop to various countries. I'd like to use some VOIP solution instead of installing skype rubbish on my computer. However when looking at a SIP client, I noticed that I have to forward a port to my laptop to be able to use it. That's a problem when travelling around using random wifi hotspots etc. Any suggestions? So far I've thought of "Skype in a VM" but their prices are not even good.
[11:54] <EriC^^> BitNova: ok, unmount it in nautilus
[11:54] <EriC^^> BitNova: then type gvfs-mount -d /dev/sdc1
[11:54] <EriC^^> and see what it says
[11:55] <spaceship> my. touchpad. is. not. working.
[11:56] <spaceship> puts "Is there anyone that can help out."
[11:57] <cfhowlett> !patience | spaceship, repeated questioning every few minutes and/or seconds is unnecessary.  and annoying.
[11:59] <nishu-tryinghard> can i backup my wubi installed distro just by making a copy of disk.root and use it later any time? I want to do a fresh install instead of wubi but want to keep wubi installed distro for later use.
[11:59] <cfhowlett> !wubi | nishu-tryinghard
[11:59] <bazhang> wubi?
[11:59] <genii> Gah, wubi
[11:59] <cfhowlett> bazhang, arrrg!  thou hast said that which must no be said!  perform your penance!
[12:00] <nishu-tryinghard> commmon its a machine at my place ! so i dont know who did that !
[12:00] <nishu-tryinghard> work*
[12:00] <BitNova> EriC^^, does gvfs use fuse?
[12:00] <BitNova> because i was messing around with mfuse and modprobe..
[12:00] <cfhowlett> nishu-tryinghard, w**i is a bad idea, unstable and will break ubuntu.  WILL break ubuntu.  reinstall a dual boot ubuntu or install virtualbox to windows and put ubuntu in a vbox
[12:00] <BitNova> and i think thats what messed everything up
[12:01] <EriC^^> BitNova: did you try rebooting?
[12:01] <BitNova> yes i did
[12:01] <BitNova> what does gvfs-mount -d /dev/sdc1 this do?
[12:01] <EriC^^> BitNova: it mounts it as mounting in nautilus does
[12:02] <absklb> hhi
[12:02] <absklb> my xbacklight says No outputs have backlight property
[12:02] <EriC^^> to /media/user/..
[12:02] <nishu-tryinghard> cfhowlett, thats what ill do but before that i need to be sure that wubi installed distro can be fired up again whenever needed by using wubi.
[12:02] <absklb> how can I assign it to my laptop moniter and control its brightness?
[12:02] <BitNova> oh ok EriC^^  let me see
[12:02]  * cfhowlett backs away slowly.
[12:02] <bazhang> nishu-tryinghard, please back up whatever important items you have and get away from wubi altogether
[12:03] <cfhowlett> nishu-tryinghard, you keep saying "be sure" ... NOTHING about wubi is sure beyond the facts that it's unstable, unsupported and KNOWN to break things.  you've been given answers.  your choice.
[12:03] <EriC^^> absklb: you can use echo <number> | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/..../brightness
[12:03] <EriC^^> absklb: or xrandr
[12:03] <nishu-tryinghard> cfhowlett, okay.
[12:05] <absklb> EriC^^, xrandr worked. thanks.
[12:05] <EriC^^> wow, xrandr borked the pc for a bit
[12:05] <absklb> :-)
[12:05] <EriC^^> ah great
[12:06] <BitNova> EriC^^, it says No volume for device file /dev/sdc1
[12:07] <EriC^^> ok
[12:07] <BitNova> what does that mean now....?
[12:07] <trijntje> please stop that FRODO
[12:09] <EriC^^> BitNova: did it mount it?
[12:10] <BitNova> EriC^^, no, all it did was reply with :  No volume for device file /dev/sdc1
[12:10] <FRODO> I've been here for the past hour I think.
[12:11] <bazhang> !ot | FRODO
[12:12] <EriC^^> BitNova: is there anything in /etc/fstab ?
[12:13] <EriC^^> try udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdc1
[12:14] <BBLLCC> i need to recursively find a file
[12:14] <BBLLCC> how do I do that?
[12:14] <BBLLCC> on my home directory
[12:15] <ikonia> ls -R
[12:15] <EriC^^> BBLLCC: find ~ -iname "file"
[12:16] <BBLLCC> EriC^^, do I have to state data type? (odt)
[12:16] <EriC^^> pardon?
[12:16] <EriC^^> oh, no you give it the file name
[12:16] <BBLLCC> "love" or "love.odt"?
[12:17] <EriC^^> you can give it "love" or "love.odt" or "love.*" ..
[12:17] <EriC^^> -iname is for case insensitive, -name is for case sensitive
[12:18] <BitNova> EriC^^, the only thing in fstab is the sda partitions that are mounted. im using ubuntu server 14.04 . Another 14.04 server i have, the fstab file looks the same and mounts the drives as normal
[12:19] <BitNova> when i say mounts the drives as normal... i mean when i click on the drives in nautilus on the second server, they mount as rw
[12:19] <BBLLCC> thx eraggo_
[12:19] <BBLLCC> thx EriC^^

[12:44] <cfhowlett> keromatsu, to answer your question: YES you can present ubuntu at school
[12:44] <BitNova> EriC^^, have the default mounting options changed or something?
[12:44] <keromatsu> Yeah! Thanks
[12:44] <BitNova> how can we revert back to how it used to mount?
[12:44] <absklb> how to know package version in repo ?
[12:45] <MonkeyDust> absklb  apt cache policy or apt-cache show

[12:55] <Eldunar> hello. I intstalled ubuntu-server on vbox. It is working on windows host (Connection by putty). But on linux host it is not working. I can not connect to server via ssh. It says that Network is unreachable. I set the network adapters with same options. Can u help me?
[12:56] <EriC^^> BitNova: try opening the program "disks"
[12:57] <BitNova> yes done
[12:58] <Lyze> Eldunar: which network mode have you choosen on your vm? (bridge, nat,...?)
[12:58] <EriC^^> BitNova: click on the partition, and at the bottom click on the gear and check mount options
[12:58] <BitNova> EriC^^, i know that i can go into mounting options in each disk , and they are all set to auto.
[12:58] <BitNova> yes...
[12:59] <Eldunar> nat+ hostonly
[13:00] <MonkeyDust> Eldunar  try bridged, to make a logical bridge to your existing network
[13:01] <Eldunar> but its interesting that exact same configration is working on windows host but not on linux
[13:01] <altin> I have a directory ~/16GB and /dev/sda6 mounted to that directory located in my home folder. When /dev/sda6 is not mounted, I have hello.txt saved in 16GB directory, but when I mount /dev/sda6 in 16GB directroy, hello.txt disappears, and gets replaced with content from /dev/sda6. My question is, where is hello.txt, how can I access it while /dev/sda6 is still mounted ?
[13:02] <MonkeyDust> Eldunar  yes, that's odd, but now first try to make it work...
[13:03] <Lyze> altin: so you mount /dev/sda6 in ~/16Gb. And inside the ~/16Gb directory there is a "hello.txt" file?
[13:04] <mcphail> altin: you can't access the file if you've mounted another filesystem over the top
[13:05] <mcphail> altin: (usually)
[13:05] <ioria> altin, http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/198542/what-happens-when-you-mount-over-an-existing-folder-with-contents
[13:06] <Eldunar> yeah its working. But why host-only is not working here?
[13:07] <Nyt129X> any luck with the installation instructions ??
[13:07] <absklb> Nyt129X, regarding?
[13:07] <Nyt129X> I tried to do some searching , and it was like Greek :-(
[13:07] <absklb> ??
[13:08] <bazhang> apt-cache search term Nyt129X
[13:08] <Nyt129X> absklb: OOps wrong channel ;-)
[13:08] <k1l_> Nyt129X: what is the issue? the installer is quite self explaining. if you ever installed a windows OS you will be fine installing ubuntu
[13:08] <bazhang> packages.ubuntu.com and software centre as well Nyt129X
[13:08] <absklb> :-(
[13:09] <Nyt129X> k1l_: Sorry wrong channel :-(

[13:10] <MoritzJT> Hi! Someone familiar with f2fs? Trying to change the UUID of a partition with f2fs, can't find a way...
[13:10] <Nyt129X> absklb: was searching for a code completion plugin for gedit on #gedit :-(
[13:10] <absklb> ok. np.
[13:11] <k1l_> Nyt129X: i bet #gedit will be happy about more informations in your questionline :)
[13:12] <Nyt129X> k1l_: No luck :-( they dont have an updated codecompletion plugin for gedit...latest ones r from 2011
[13:15] <k1l_> Nyt129X: i would start to file a bug report with what is missing.
[13:17] <altin> Lyze: yes I did that
[13:17] <altin> thanks ioria
[13:18] <ioria> altin, you're welcome
[13:19] <BitNova> EriC^^, you there?
[13:19] <EriC^^> BitNova: yeah

[13:20] <ParsectiX> Guys I'm using LDAP to have my user Database. How can I sync the system users also ?
[13:20] <ParsectiX> My concern it's for the root/administrator user to have a fail-save mechanism to login on the server.
[13:23] <MonkeyDust> ParsectiX  there's also #ubuntu-server
[13:25] <bishops> anyone knows how I can change language settings on thunderbird in ubuntu? Everytime i write an email, it seems blocked on french, so I have to change to english. There is no options for changing default language and spellings on thunderbird and it seems to behave according to ubuntu's settings
[13:27] <MonkeyDust> bishops  in a terminal, type    env | grep LANG  ... anything disturbing?
[13:29] <bishops> MonkeyDust: no looks good. default language is english US. I think something is happening when I install other language on the system and the way this interacts with applications such as thunderbird and firefox. for example I can remove "check spelling" by default, it always comes back!
[13:30] <MonkeyDust> bishops  System settings > language support
[13:31] <enochII> if all else is Ok except for thunderbird language simply uninstall and install again
[13:31] <enochII> that should do the trick when nothing else works
[13:32] <ren0v0> If my router will serve names to local clients via /etc/hosts, do i need to set DNS server to my router's IP in ubuntu for this to work?
[13:33] <ParsectiX> MonkeyDust: Thanks
[13:33] <bishops> MonkeyDust: and what do i do there?
[13:34] <MonkeyDust> bishops  no language to be removed, there?
[13:35] <Zampax> Ciao a Tutto il Canale!!!
[13:36] <mcphail> ren0v0: what does "If my router will serve names to local clients via /etc/hosts" mean?
[13:36] <ren0v0> hostnames
[13:36] <ren0v0> well in fact they aren't the hostnames, they are just names
[13:36] <ren0v0> as would be applicable to a hosts file
[13:37] <ren0v0> ie,    192.168.1.x homeserver
[13:37] <mcphail> ren0v0: that wouldn't be the normal role for /etc/hosts
[13:38] <mcphail> ren0v0: does your router provide a nameserver?
[13:38] <JexHd> mcphail: Hi
[13:38] <mcphail> JexHd: hello to you
[13:39] <JexHd> mcphail: How are you?
[13:39] <ren0v0> mcphail, its an ERlite, i think it uses these entries for dnsmasq or w.e its called
[13:39] <absklb> in my apache i have enabled /var/canvas as well as /var/www/html for two different aps. how can I point my localhost to /var/canvas app now?
[13:39] <ren0v0> mcphail, "By default, dnsmasq will serve names defined in "/etc/hosts" to local clients"
[13:39] <ren0v0> it does work, btw
[13:40] <absklb> in my apache i have enabled /var/canvas as well as /var/www/html for two different aps. how can I point my localhost to /var/canvas app now?
[13:40] <ren0v0> it works 95% of the time, i'm trying to find out if i've done something wrong client side to cause it not to work the other 5%
[13:40] <mcphail> ren0v0: OK, well that wouldn't really be supported here. You should get support from your router manufacturer. But most local name resolution can be achieved adequately with avahi
[13:40] <mcphail> ren0v0: (which is setup by default on most machines)
[13:41] <ren0v0> mcphail, "most machines" ?
[13:41] <ren0v0> like an ip cam?
[13:41] <ren0v0> i don't think that statements very good :P
[13:42] <mcphail> ren0v0: you might be surprised
[13:42] <ren0v0> mcphail, i'd rather have something i can maintain though and be 100% sure every device on my network is reachable
[13:42] <bishops> MonkeyDust: I don't want to remove the languages I just want english to be the "spelling language by default in thunderbird. for some reason it is stuck to French. Yet I do wan to keep French as a language of writing when I need to use it.
[13:42] <ren0v0> i'll go back to chan for router though, thanks
[13:42] <mcphail> ren0v0: then I'd suggest you set up a proper nameserver
[13:43] <ren0v0> mcphail, dnsmasq isn't ? i know its not bind, but i think it does the same job here
[13:43] <mcphail> ren0v0: I haven't used it, but you might be right. I've only used bind
[13:44] <mcphail> ren0v0: and since I discovered avahi, I haven't even touched nameservers!
[13:44] <ren0v0> hmm, so based off using bind, would you need to add the server location to ubuntus network config for it to see it?
[13:44] <ren0v0> so if dnsmasq *does* the same job, should i be putting my routers IP as DNS server in network manager?
[13:44] <absklb> bishops, #thunderbird on irc.mozilla.org would help
[13:44] <mcphail> ren0v0: yes, or set up your dhcp server to point to it
[13:45] <mcphail> ren0v0: If you use dhcp, make the change there. Otherwise, set the IP on all connecting machines
[13:45] <ren0v0> tbh i do have it there already, but also have openDNS, i'm wondering how ubuntu uses these DNS server list, in order? fallbacks?
[13:45] <fRit_^> hi, haw can I open .pdf.xades in ubuntu?
[13:45] <mcphail> ren0v0: I can't answer that, I'm afraid
[13:46] <ren0v0> maybe i need to move opendns to the router's DNS config, then just set router from local clients?
[13:46] <ren0v0> maybe this is why 5% is dropping, maybe its trying to use opendns ones in this list
[13:46] <ren0v0> mcphail, thanks for help, i'll google on how ubuntu uses that list
[13:46] <ren0v0> this could be it
[13:46] <mcphail> ren0v0: good luck
[13:47] <absklb> fRit_^, looks like open standard. try opening in gedit or something?

[13:58] <reisio> possibly in ~/.gnome* or ~/.config/gnome* someplace
[13:58] <reisio> might query #gnome
[14:03] <pesari> chisholm: maybe gsettings ?

[14:37] <backbox> hi all
[14:37] <absklb> hi
[14:39] <zetheroo1> I have a system here with Windows installed on the disk. I want to add a second disk with Ubuntu installed on it. I am guessing I would have to reinstall grub for it to find the Windows installation on the other disk!?
[14:39] <cfhowlett> true
[14:40] <zetheroo1> ok, so it's ok that the OS's are on separate disks - grub should find it ok ... ?
[14:40] <cfhowlett> zetheroo1, "should"
[14:40] <zetheroo1> ok :)
[14:40] <absklb> legalities matter!
[14:43] <AvatarA> zetheroo1, why do you say "reinstall grub" if it's not installed yet?
[14:43] <absklb> its installed on that second disk where ubuntu is!
[14:44] <absklb> already.
[14:44] <AvatarA> I would make the second disk bootable from bios/uefi and then update-grub
[14:44] <absklb> right.
[14:44] <AvatarA> got it absklb , didn't catch that, my bad
[14:55] <Tazmania> I am running a PPTPd server on a Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS blade server to serve more than 1000 pptp clients.  As the number of clients grow, the ubuntu machine keeps crashing.  Any idea?
[14:56] <cfhowlett> Tazmania, perhaps ask #ubuntu-server
[14:56] <Tazmania> thanks
[15:03] <ren0v0> how can i confirm what DNS server my ubuntu box is using ?
[15:04] <zetheroo1> AvatarA: so an update-grup should be enough ..
[15:05] <zetheroo1> should I do that from a LIVE session or can it be done while being logged into the installed Ubuntu?
[15:06] <AvatarA> just boot that ubuntu disk
[15:06] <AvatarA> and then run update-grub

[15:11] <smellsLikeGoatSp> hello there, I am preparing my microSD card with Ubuntu-Mate. I am following this instruction but I dont know where to find build-image.sh in the BUILD section

[15:12] <jaska__> hmmm
[15:12] <teward> smellsLikeGoatSp: preparing for the RPi?
[15:12] <Rafen> hello all. Does anyone happen to use Fritzing on Ubuntu 14.04? They current version in the repository is outdated. I have the tar from the site downloaded but have questions about installing and removing the file. As you guessed I am fairly new to the world of Linux.
[15:16] <smellsLikeGoatSp> teward: yup RPi2
[15:16] <teward> smellsLikeGoatSp: you don't need to 'build' anything
[15:17] <smellsLikeGoatSp> teward: is it just ready to go in the Pi?
[15:17] <teward> smellsLikeGoatSp: assuming you have an RPi 2, then follow the "Putting the image onto the microSDHC" step
[15:17] <teward> and nothing more
[15:17] <teward> smellsLikeGoatSp: it won't expand to fill the microsd card
[15:17] <teward> smellsLikeGoatSp: so you may have to use gparted or such on your main computer (with the microsd card connected) after using the ddrescue command to put the image to the card to resize the ext4 partition to fill the card
[15:18] <teward> smellsLikeGoatSp: since I have a 64gb card, i had to expand its ext4 partition.  Not too hard.
[15:18] <teward> smellsLikeGoatSp: after that, it's ready to put into the RPi.  Have the RPi hooked up to a monitor though, 'cause you'll need to go throug the setup wizard
[15:18] <teward> (sets up the user account, passwords, etc.)
[15:20] <smellsLikeGoatSp> tewars: then I aced it! you talk English too!! :)))) for some reason the ddrescue command didnt work with the -d flag
[15:20] <smellsLikeGoatSp> teward: gave me 'cant open input file' error
[15:20] <teward> smellsLikeGoatSp: full error output
[15:20] <teward> pastebin it
[15:22] <sweb> i make ubuntu server iso to USB with StartUp manager and Unetbooting during installation give me an error

[15:23] <sweb> how can i solve this issue
[15:23] <smellsLikeGoatSp> teward: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12531784/
[15:24] <teward> smellsLikeGoatSp: are you in the same directory as the img file?  If not then you have to `cd` to the directory it's in
[15:24] <smellsLikeGoatSp> teward: YES
[15:30] <tachibana> so im retarded and trying to install a program manually in linux
[15:31] <tachibana> anyways i extract the .tar.gz and their is a nice decorated INSTALL icon but it opens up a text file with a bunch of echo commands
[15:31] <tachibana> how do i install this shits
[15:31] <cfhowlett> tachibana, no profanity.
[15:31] <Pici> tachibana: what are you trying to install?
[15:31] <tachibana> so I have downs syndrome*
[15:32] <Pici> Excuse me?
[15:32] <tachibana> i am trying to install a .tar.gz
[15:32] <cfhowlett> !english | tachibana, follow the guidelines.  they apply to everyone ... even you.
[15:32] <tachibana> with a install file inside that looks just like windows typical .exe installer
[15:33] <tachibana> but also inside looks like a bunch of program documentation and tutorials
[15:33] <Pici> yes, the INSTALL file is normally documentation.
[15:33] <tachibana> do i use makefile or something
[15:34] <sikio> tachibana: I would assume you'd have to compile the program
[15:34] <tachibana> ew

[15:37] <iamrohit7> i am using ubuntu 15.04 on a dell vostro 1400. i have core2duo cpu which can clock upto 1800GHz. But it clocks only at 800MHz(from cpufreq-info) when using ubuntu. how can i troubleshoot the issue?
[15:39] <nicomachus> 1800 GHz? sure about that?
[15:39] <AvatarA> open up a full screen youtube video and then see what it says
[15:39] <teward> iamrohit7: i think you mean 1800 MHz (1.8GHz = 1800 MHz)
[15:40] <iamrohit7> teward: yes, but i wouldn't mind if my computer can go upto that.
[15:41] <MonkeyDust> iamrohit7  1.8Ghz? sure you know what you are doing?
[15:42] <iamrohit7> MonkeyDust: yes.
[15:42] <vertago1> does e2fsck return the signal that killed it, if it is killed by a signal? I am trying to figure out why fsck dies with code 13 when it is run by systemd
[15:43] <vertago1> code 13 doesn't seem to make sense as return codes on the man page, but sig 13 is sigpipe
[15:44] <mdgmiguel> #ubuntu
[15:44] <ikonia> you're in \ubuntu - welcome
[15:44] <iamrohit7> is there any way to force the frequency to the max?
[15:44] <mdgmiguel> hello
[15:44] <nicomachus> iamrohit7: what makes you think you're only getting 800MHz?
[15:45] <iamrohit7> nicomachus: cpufreq-info and lag.
[15:45] <nicomachus> what tags are you using on the cpufreq command?
[15:46] <vertago1> iamrhoit7 do you have one of the microcode updates installed?
[15:46] <mdgmiguel> #4/%centro /america
[15:46] <AvatarA> pastebin your cpufreq info
[15:46] <AvatarA> that's probably just ondemand scheduling or you changed something
[15:46] <iamrohit7> vertago1: just installed ubuntu.
[15:46] <iamrohit7> AvatarA: i think that's the case.
[15:46] <cfhowlett> !es | mdgmiguel
[15:46] <mdgmiguel> link.... the ubuntu installed
[15:46] <AvatarA> cpu frequency scales down when it's not doing much
[15:47] <AvatarA> to preserve power
[15:47] <AvatarA> and it goes up when it's needed
[15:47] <vertago1> iamrohit7 this probably wont fix it, but it might: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/181646/should-i-install-the-amd-intel-microcode-packages-when-running-debian
[15:48] <iamrohit7> AvatarA: http://pastebin.com/E8kRAhvw
[15:48] <k1l_> "cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies"  who is it with the freq issue?
[15:48] <nicomachus> and different options on the command give different readings: current measured by cpufreq core, current measured by hardware, min/max
[15:48] <k1l_> iamrohit7: ^ run that command and pastebin the output
[15:48] <AvatarA> iamrohit7, The governor "userspace" may decide which speed to use
[15:49] <AvatarA> that means you tried to change it, set it back to ondemand
[15:49] <mdgmiguel> thank you we need help
[15:49] <cfhowlett> !help | mdgmiguel
[15:50] <iamrohit7> k1l_: 1801000 1800000 1200000 800000 this is it.
[15:50] <AvatarA> and I see the ondemand governor works very fine: current CPU frequency is 1.20 GHz.
[15:50] <k1l_> iamrohit7: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state
[15:50] <AvatarA> for your second core
[15:50] <k1l_> iamrohit7: please in a pastebin
[15:50] <zykotick9> iamrohit7: are you running on battery power or plugged in?
[15:50] <iamrohit7> AvatarA: back to ondemand.
[15:51] <iamrohit7> zykotick9: plugged in, always.
[15:51] <AvatarA> and why did you ignore what I just told you
[15:51] <zykotick9> iamrohit7: OK... just checkin'
[15:51] <AvatarA> open up an youtube video, set it to full screen, HD
[15:51] <AvatarA> and then see what cpufreq info says
[15:51] <AvatarA> it should scale up to 1800
[15:51] <Nyt129X> HELP !! , I recently installed COMODO antivirus for Ubuntu on 14.04 , After minutes I fed up and removed it using apt-get purge...NOW I'm getting an error on every startup about "Sorry,the application cmgdaemon has stopped unexpectedly.."
[15:52] <swcdx> Hello
[15:52] <swcdx> i have this under cron.hourly and it's not working. any suggestions? http://pastebin.com/MrHN6GT9
[15:53] <iamrohit7> k1l: AvatarA: it doesn't.
[15:53] <AvatarA> get cpufreq info WHILE that video is playing btw
[15:54] <k1l_> iamrohit7: what doesnt? what gives the output from the command i gave you? please just put it into a pastebin so we can have a look
[15:54] <vertago1> Nyt129X check these locations for a file related to COMODO: http://askubuntu.com/questions/63407/where-are-startup-commands-stored
[15:54] <Nyt129X> vertago1: and delete the file is it ??
[15:55] <vertago1> Nyt129X if you are sure it is from COMODO, otherwise you might want to move it to a different location
[15:55] <MonkeyDust> Nyt129X  try this for a more thorough purge    sudo aptitude purge ~c     <-- that's a tilde
[15:55] <iamrohit7> AvatarA: yes. i had it on the background.
[15:55] <iamrohit7> k1l_: http://pastebin.com/8xwAcMq9
[15:56] <k1l_> iamrohit7: so it does use the differen frequencies
[15:56] <AvatarA> ya he looks in some wrong place and gets the wrong info
[15:56] <iamrohit7> k1l_: yes, but most of the time it stays at 800MHz.
[15:57] <k1l_> iamrohit7: maybe most of the time that is enough?
[15:57] <k1l_> iamrohit7: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor  gives what?
[15:58] <iamrohit7> k1l_: ondemand.
[15:58] <nicomachus> iamrohit7: you don't want your CPU to be maxed out all the time...
[15:58] <k1l_> ondemand is fine
[15:58] <Nyt129X> MonkeyDust: Dude u cant be serious ?? It listed 175 packages for removal..
[15:59] <Nyt129X> vertago1: Nope..nothing related to comodo .
[15:59] <iamrohit7> nichomachus: i would like to set the minimum to be at 1.2GHz. i can see the animation lagging when opening dash.
[16:01] <nicomachus> iamrohit7: yea... you're running 15.04 on an old machine with low power. animations are going to lag. It's not going to be totally smooth unless you upgrade CPU, RAM, or both.
[16:01] <vertago1> Nyt129X did you run sudo apt-get --purge remove cav-linux?
[16:01] <MonkeyDust> Nyt129X  scroll down http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/aptitude-remove-or-purge-packagename-not-working-723265/
[16:01] <Nyt129X> vertago1: Yup..
[16:02] <vertago1> Nyt129X what MonkeyDust said will probably help
[16:02] <iamrohit7> nicomachus: wouldn't setting min frequency to 1.2GHz help? my battery is dead anyways, i'm always plugged in.
[16:03] <Nyt129X> MonkeyDust: I see...so all those are leftovers :-D
[16:03] <Nyt129X> vertago1: sure will run it and get back after a restart.
[16:03] <vertago1> so no one here really has delt with fsck dying during startup?
[16:04] <vertago1> I think I found an upstream bug with my problem
[16:04] <nicomachus> iamrohit7: not that I can deduce, no. But I'm not an expert. all that's gonna do is make it run hotter.
[16:07] <iamrohit7> nichomachus: k1l_: AvatarA: thanks guys.
[16:08] <wtc> test
[16:08] <wtc> hello
[16:09] <MonkeyDust> Nyt129X  i also use ubuntu-tweak, a 3rd party app, to clean my system
[16:09] <nicomachus> hi wtc
[16:09] <rejd_> hows 15.10 so far?
[16:10] <MonkeyDust> rejd_  ask in #ubuntu+1
[16:10] <cfhowlett> !ubuntu+1 | rejd_,
[16:10] <iamrohit7> rejd_: new.
[16:10] <rejd_> oh oh
[16:10] <rejd_> sorry guys
[16:10] <cfhowlett> not even new - it's unreleased
[16:10] <MonkeyDust> it's so new, it isnt even released yet
[16:11] <nicomachus> only 29 more days!
[16:11] <iamrohit7> why does the font in ubuntu look so cool than debian?
[16:12] <nicomachus> because ubuntu > debian, but that's not really a support question.
[16:13] <iamrohit7> that's one of the reasons i switched from debian and probably won't leave.
[16:15] <Guest35133> do you know bridge offline ubuntu?
[16:16] <MonkeyDust> Guest35133  bridging is a way to connect, as opposed to NAT, or is that not what you mean
[16:27] <nicomachus> Ugh. All i wanna do is watch the copy of Brazil that I have stored on my home computer... but my ssh gets disconnected saying "Packet corrupt" every time VLC opens.

[16:49] <lakitu> quick/stable?
[16:49] <lakitu> normally i'd use amd catalyst, but like i say, it wasn't installing. i guess i could retry the amd site's one
[16:50] <lakitu> i haven't re-attempted since installing a different video card i had laying around...
[16:50] <nicomachus> lakitu: the best way I've found to do that was messing around with xrandr's underscan values
[16:50] <lakitu> thanks
[16:50] <lakitu> nicomachus,
[16:50] <lakitu> minus ","
[16:51] <lakitu> what is the threat index (risk level) on messing with xrandr - can i bork my system?
[16:51] <lakitu> it's pretty much spanking new - wouldn't be a huge loss, but.
[16:51] <lakitu> still
[16:52] <nicomachus> nah, worst case scenario is you push the whole desktop off-screen, but all you have to do is reboot and it goes back to normal.
[16:56] <lakitu> alright, thank you much
[16:56] <lakitu> (nicomachus)
[16:56] <nicomachus> lakitu: I have 2 commands set to run in /.config/autostart for xrandr. First is 'xrandr --output HDMI-0 --set underscan on'
[16:57] <nicomachus> second is 'xrandr --output HDMI-0 --set "underscan hborder" 35 --set "underscan vborder" 18'
[16:58] <asdasd> Hello
[16:58] <nicomachus> lakitu: messing with those hborder and vborder values is what you wanna try.

[17:06] <lakitu> nicomachus, i didn't grep anything else for border in the manual
[17:06] <lakitu> maybe it's listed when i do a xrandr --prop
[17:06] <lakitu> i never used xrandr, always Catalyst
[17:06] <k0mp0> can i get some basic networking help? i have two nics and when i disconnect the lead from one nic and place it in the other.. ifconfig -a shows no changes

[17:18] <jmacdonald> its included right in the snort distro but the ubuntu package excludes it for some rediculous reason

[17:27] <Copernicus22> jmacdonald: message the developers?
[17:27] <reisio> http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/
[17:28] <jmacdonald> Copernicus22: Yeah, gotta find them. its the snort package that comes from ubuntu.

[18:02] <arcsky> hi guys im trying to connect to my wireless at home. i have some issues. it works with windows. what can i do?
[18:02] <nicomachus> lakitu: a reboot is going to clear out xrandr adjustments, FYI. That's why I have my commands set in autostart. But I think you're doing too much. Stick to those 2 I pasted above and just try messing with the values for hborder and vborder. You're doing a lot of stuff to generate outputs, and not actually setting anything.
[18:03] <nicomachus> but I'm going to be AFK for the next hour or so, so good luck.
[18:03] <lakitu> did you mean something other than hborder?
[18:03] <lakitu> & alright, see you
[18:05] <lakitu> ah, i missed & just found in my logs your two commands
[18:05] <lakitu> that helps a lot

[18:07] <mnms_> how it is possible that after fresh installation of ubuntu my trash is not empty
[18:07] <mnms_> there are my very old files
[18:07] <mnms_> which I even dont remember when I could delete it
[18:11] <auronandace> mnms_: not an old /home partition you used previously?
[18:12] <Forbidd3n> When I try to change a user's home directory with usermod -d /path/to/new/dir username - it says usermode: user username is currently used by process 31082
[18:12] <Forbidd3n> I do sudo kill 31082 and it starts a new one
[18:12] <Forbidd3n> any suggestions?
[18:13] <auronandace> Forbidd3n: are you logged in as the user you are trying to change?
[18:13] <lakitu> having troubles with xrandr -  "sudo xrandr --output DFP1 --set underscan on" gives X Error of failed request:  BadName (named color or font does not exist) - trying & googling, need a hand figuring this out
[18:13] <Forbidd3n> no, logged in as root
[18:13] <reisio> Forbidd3n: lsof /home/thatuser
[18:14] <mnms_> auronandace: I removed from partition table: swap, and "/" ext4 partitions. I create again smaller swap partition and root "/"
[18:14] <lakitu> does "xrandr --output" apply to "Screens" not e.g. DFP1?
[18:15] <mnms_> and I installed on it fresh ubuntu installation
[18:15] <Forbidd3n> reisio: lsof - says two sftp-serv
[18:15] <auronandace> mnms_: are you sure you applied the changes and not just reassigned the old / without formatting?
[18:16] <Forbidd3n> reisio: sorry there is on sftp-serv
[18:16] <mnms_> auronandace: yep Im sure thats whay Im asking
[18:16] <Forbidd3n> I just killed it let me try now
[18:16] <Forbidd3n> thanks
[18:16] <reisio> Forbidd3n: so maybe you're sftp/ssh'ing as that user
[18:16] <auronandace> mnms_: what is in the trash?
[18:16] <mnms_> auronandace: very very old files :)
[18:16] <tgm4883> mnms_:  Are you sure you formatted /home ?
[18:17] <Forbidd3n> reisio: ok killed that pid, nothing shows with lsof now - but still getting usermod: user username is currently used by process 31082
[18:17] <tgm4883> mnms_: oh wait, you don't have a separate home partition right?
[18:17] <auronandace> mnms_: from where?
[18:17] <mnms_> tgm4883: I didnt format it. I had two patitions. SWAP and "/"
[18:17] <mnms_> I remove them from partition table whean I was installing ubuntu
[18:17] <tgm4883> mnms_: the ubuntu installer doesn't overwrite /home
[18:17] <mnms_> and I created it again
[18:17] <tgm4883> hmm
[18:18] <mnms_> and installed new system

[18:18] <tgm4883> mnms_: I'm going to say ubiquity magic
[18:18] <reisio> Forbidd3n: ps -p 31082
[18:18] <mnms_> auronandace: mayb becuase that files can be from external drive which is connected right now
[18:18] <mnms_> it is my storage
[18:18] <reisio> arcsky: sudo lspci | grep -i net
[18:18] <auronandace> arcsky: do you know what wifi chipset?
[18:19] <tgm4883> mnms_: well you should be able to look in there for a .Trash folder
[18:19] <tgm4883> it would be hidden
[18:20] <mnms_> tgm4883: Thanks, explained.

[18:21] <reisio> arcsky: cool, cool
[18:21] <latsni> it looks like the raid can't be activated with mdadm
[18:21] <Forbidd3n> reisio: this is what it says - 31082 pts/5    00:00:00 bash
[18:21] <Forbidd3n> I closed all terminal windows and restarted terminal and still no luck same issue
[18:22] <lakitu> why does "sudo xrandr --output DFP1 --set underscan on" give "X Error of failed request:  BadName (named color or font does not exist) (...)"
[18:23] <anisha> which honeypot is compatible with ubuntu 15.04
[18:23] <lakitu> fixing an overscan i think it's called on a tv/monitor
[18:23] <Peachey> hey i need some help i get a kernal panic everytime i try to update or ubuntu just freezes
[18:24] <Peachey> when i am not in recovery mode i need help please
[18:24] <Forbidd3n> reisio: anything else I can try
[18:24] <Peachey> i get a kernal panic - not syncing: Fatal exceptio in interrupt
[18:25] <arcsky> reisio: whaat can i do?
[18:25] <anisha> i need help
[18:25] <Peachey> i do to anisha
[18:26] <anisha> which honeypot is compatible with ubuntu 15.04???
[18:26] <wileee> we all need help, state the issue and leave out the help, you would not be here otherwise
[18:26] <Forbidd3n> reisio: I have the user and group on the directory I am changing it to as vmarketing:vmarketing which is the new user I created
[18:27] <reisio> Forbidd3n: you're root right now?
[18:27] <Forbidd3n> yep
[18:27] <wileee> anisha, Not a support question for here is all.
[18:27] <reisio> Forbidd3n: how'd you log in as root?
[18:27] <Forbidd3n> I use key pair and then sudo su
[18:27] <reisio> arcsky: should be covered by iwlwifi
[18:28] <Peachey> i get a kernal panic everytime i try to update the system please help
[18:28] <reisio> arcsky: lsmod | grep -i iwl
[18:28] <Forbidd3n> I create a new key pair and new user, then loaded the pem into user .ssh directory and got the public key from the pem and loaded that into authorized_keys
[18:28] <Peachey> and ubuntu freezes every few minutes
[18:28] <reisio> Forbidd3n: you should probably log out to the login screen, then hit CTRL+ALT+F2, then do your business
[18:28] <reisio> Forbidd3n: +F7 to go back
[18:29] <Peachey> can't unless theres a key pair for that since my mouse freezes as well
[18:29] <Forbidd3n> I closed out terminal all the way
[18:29] <Forbidd3n> opened it back up and relogged in
[18:31] <reisio> Forbidd3n: you should probably log out to the login screen, then hit CTRL+ALT+F2, then do your business
[18:31] <Forbidd3n> would this be the same using terminal?
[18:31] <UbuUpgrade> Hi, Can you tell me, if my files are safe, if I split one large partition to 2 parts with GParted?
[18:32] <latsni> okay 'mdadm -v --assemble /dev/md0 --force' helped me somehow
[18:33] <reisio> Forbidd3n: this what?
[18:33] <wileee> UbuUpgrade, always be backed up, anything can happen at anytime.
[18:33] <Forbidd3n> the command's
[18:33] <reisio> UbuUpgrade: what wileee said, it's not 100% safe
[18:33] <reisio> it's pretty safe, but pretty != 100%
[18:33] <MicroAlien> ..
[18:34] <reisio> Forbidd3n: I think if you log out to the login screen, then hit CTRL+ALT+F2, then do your business, it will not complain about your user being logged in
[18:34] <arcsky> reisio: i have iwl in lsmod
[18:34] <MicroAlien> .
[18:34] <reisio> arcsky: you got a little wireless icon at top right?
[18:35] <arcsky> reisio: yes
[18:35] <reisio> arcsky: show your access point?
[18:35] <MicroAlien> .
[18:35] <arcsky> reisio: yes its there
[18:35] <reisio> arcsky: click on it and it asks for your passphrase?
[18:35] <Forbidd3n> reisio: I closed terminal all the way out and opened a new window
[18:36] <reisio> Forbidd3n: that's not what I'm saying
[18:36] <reisio> Forbidd3n: when you boot up, you get a login screen, right?
[18:36] <arcsky> reisio: yes
[18:36] <Forbidd3n> when I boot the mac itself?
[18:36] <reisio> arcsky: and then what?
[18:36] <reisio> Forbidd3n: when you boot whatever it is you're running
[18:36] <arcsky> it comes back to the same
[18:36] <tgm4883> arcsky: what does that mean?
[18:36] <reisio> arcsky: to what now?
[18:37] <UbuUpgrade> Can I ,and how, to spit the default Ubuntu partition, while working in Unity? The size of partition resize changes to same, if I click on the next box..
[18:37] <reisio> UbuUpgrade: what for
[18:37] <ProfMac> In Trusty Tahr, where are the network preferences stored.  (Not in /etc/network/interfaces)
[18:37] <Forbidd3n> when I open terminal it shows my home directory, I then to to ~/.ssh directory and then I log into the ubuntu EC2 aWS server with key
[18:38] <reisio> Forbidd3n: oh you have no GUI?
[18:38] <auronandace> UbuUpgrade: you can't alter partitions that are currently mounted, you need to use a livecd/usb/dvd/whatever
[18:38] <reisio> Forbidd3n: can you ssh in as root instead of as your user?
[18:38] <Forbidd3n> reisio: I am using mac terminal to login to ubuntu via command line
[18:38] <reisio> Forbidd3n: okay
[18:38] <Forbidd3n> reisio:  I do ssh as root
[18:38] <reisio> Forbidd3n: pgrep -l X
[18:38] <UbuUpgrade> ok. thanks. Does live cd eable the partition editing ?
[18:39] <auronandace> UbuUpgrade: you can use gparted from a livecd to edit your partitions
[18:39] <UbuUpgrade> ok, thanks.
[18:39] <Forbidd3n> reisio: what is that going to do?
[18:39] <reisio> Forbidd3n: same as those other commands I gave you that you ran, give us some information
[18:40] <arcsky> tgm4883: reisio it ask for pass again
[18:40] <Forbidd3n> it didn't show anything
[18:40] <Forbidd3n> oh mall x
[18:40] <Forbidd3n> small
[18:40] <reisio> arcsky: make sure it's asking for the wifi pass and not some kind of keyring pass
[18:40] <reisio> arcsky: and make sure you type your password/s correctly
[18:40] <Forbidd3n> reisio: what am I looking for in the list?
[18:40] <reisio> Forbidd3n: just that there's a list
[18:41] <reisio> Forbidd3n: if you run 'sudo service lightdm stop', that should stop the GUI and fix the problem
[18:41] <Forbidd3n> I see that list, what do I need to look for in the list
[18:41] <reisio> sudo service lightdm start to re-start
[18:41] <Forbidd3n> what is lightdm? not sure if we are on the same page here or not
[18:41] <reisio> lightdm is the service for the manager for the GUI
[18:41] <Forbidd3n> I have no gui
[18:42] <reisio> if you have no GUI, then pgrep -l X will produce no list
[18:42] <Forbidd3n> pgrep -l X shows no list
[18:42] <Forbidd3n> preg -l x does
[18:43] <Forbidd3n> so there is no list
[18:43] <reisio> o-k
[18:43] <reisio> Forbidd3n: what command did you use to ssh in?
[18:44] <Forbidd3n> ssh -i {pem key file} ubuntu@{amazonaws}
[18:44] <MicroAlien> How can I figure out other IP addresses in my building??
[18:44] <Forbidd3n> it logs me in as ubuntu and then I can sudo su
[18:44] <reisio> Forbidd3n: can you use Root@{amazonaws} ?
[18:44] <reisio> Forbidd3n: can you use root@{amazonaws} ?
[18:45] <tgm4883> MicroAlien: uh, what?
[18:45] <Forbidd3n> no, I have to use ubuntu first, then sudo to root
[18:45] <reisio> Forbidd3n: might be simpler to create a new user, then copy any configs you want from /home/ubuntu/ to /home/newuser/
[18:46] <MicroAlien> I am trying to figure out all the IP addresses in my building was wondering how to get them
[18:46] <MicroAlien> tgm4483/
[18:46] <tgm4883> MicroAlien: out of curiosity, why would you want to do that?
[18:47] <reisio> nmap probs
[18:48] <MicroAlien> No specific reason. Was just curious
[18:48] <Forbidd3n> reisio: ugh! I can't even remove the user or kill all the processes it is using - userdel: user vmarketing is currently used by process 31082
[18:49] <MicroAlien> tgm4883: cant you shut down computers if you have the IP addresses? I was watching a youtube video seemed kinda funny
[18:49] <reisio> Forbidd3n: you might want to find the amazon channel: /msg alis list *aws* /msg alis list *ec2* etc.
[18:49] <tgm4883> MicroAlien: you need more than just the IP address
[18:49] <reisio> MicroAlien: you can do a lot, depending
[18:49] <tgm4883> MicroAlien: and this isn't really support either
[18:51] <MicroAlien> reisia: depending on?
[18:51] <MicroAlien> Oh is this a support channel?
[18:51] <tgm4883> MicroAlien: yes

[18:56] <nug700> when editing "etc/default/grub" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX, do I seperate entries with a comma?
[18:56] <fer> hola
[18:56] <nug700> like would it be GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="intel_iommu=on,iommu=pt"

[18:57] <nug700> or would I use ;
[18:58] <keviv> Sorry, I know I just asked but I got disconnected
[18:58] <keviv> So I'm trying to install wine1.6-amd64. I keep getting this error http://paste.pound-python.org/show/X1TklbAs08OXcSjaRzzr/. Using `locate libvisual-0.4-0:amd64` to find the list file, it appears to be binary. Any ideas?
[18:58] <samfreenode> if I install Ubuntu with full disk encryption, then I change my login password, will my encryption password also change? I know it works with ecryptfs, but I don't know about LUKS
[18:59] <kirkland> samfreenode: your login password has nothing to do with your full disk encryption password, so no.
[18:59] <dans_> Hi! I have a ubuntu VM with many modifications, can I make it into an ISO for PXE booting?
[18:59] <samfreenode> kirkland: Hmmm it seems ecryptfs home encryption is a lot more convenient then
[18:59] <kirkland> samfreenode: indeed.
[18:59] <MicroAlien> So I have python3 if I download Java will it mess with python
[18:59] <samfreenode> kirkland: I use LUKS on Android and my login password and LUKS password change together automatically....
[18:59] <samfreenode> kirkland: It would be nice if Ubuntu did something similar....
[19:01] <Marksman> MicroAlien: No. Two different environments.
[19:02] <MicroAlien> Marksman: thanks
[19:02] <irreverant> i'm using ubuntu 12.04 live usb, ramdrive is set for ubuntu live, i'd like to reset the local password for a windows 8 machine on a domain.
[19:02] <samfreenode> kirkland: Is there anyway to do it like Android does it?
[19:02] <irreverant> What tool in ubuntu would allow me to accomplish this?
[19:02] <kirkland> samfreenode: I don't know much about the full disk encryption implementation (while I wrote the eCryptfs encrypted home feature)
[19:03] <samfreenode> kirkland: Oh cool, I really like that feature you wrote
[19:03] <kirkland> thx
[19:03] <samfreenode> kirkland: But I'm starting to think that maybe it's not very secure compared to full disk encryption
[19:03] <wileee> irreverant, windows issues in ##windows there are tools there.
[19:03] <irreverant> well i'd like to use ubuntu
[19:03] <irreverant> lets go for this question
[19:04] <irreverant> i'm having trouble getting the ubuntu os detecing my wifi card
[19:04] <Forbidd3n> reisio: ok I removed the user, recreated and changed home directory, now when I try to login I get - Too many authentication failures for vmarketing - but I believe this is due to permissons
[19:04] <Forbidd3n> permissions
[19:04] <wileee> irreverant, good for you, not a good idea is all, info is on the web, we are not really password breakers.
[19:04] <samfreenode> kirkland: My new HTC One M9 Android smartphone uses LUKS for full-disk encryption
[19:04] <Forbidd3n> I have the directory that I changed their home directory to vmarketing:vmarkerting
[19:04] <keviv> Forbidd3n: relevant username? xD
[19:04] <MicroAlien> irreverant: I had the same problem. Had to buy a wifi USB until the update for my wifi card comes
[19:05] <Forbidd3n> keviv: I have the directory set to vmarketing:vmarketing
[19:05] <keviv> Forbidd3n: Oh I was just talking about your nick
[19:13] <michael_mbp> Guys, I got ubunut 14.04 apt-get update && apt-get upgrade openssl saying it is already latest
[19:13] <nicomachus> samfreenode: I may be missing something because I came in late on this, but if you select full-disk encryption *while installing* Ubuntu, it use LUKS.
[19:13] <michael_mbp> but my version of openssl is 1.0.1f
[19:14] <samfreenode> nicomachus: Yeah then I change my login password and now I have to remember 2 passwords!!!!!
[19:14] <ioria> !info openssl
[19:15] <Forbidd3n> reisio: would you have any idea on why I would get this error in log - Disconnecting: Too many authentication failures for vmarketing [preauth] - after changing the user home directory?
[19:16] <Forbidd3n> if I change the home directory to /home/vmarketing it works fine
[19:16] <samfreenode> nicomachus: Android only forces me to remember ONE password
[19:16] <michael_mbp> ioria: is that latest?
[19:16] <ioria> yup
[19:16] <ioria> for ubuntu, i mean
[19:16] <michael_mbp> but 1.0.1f is open to Heartbleed
[19:17] <legionCyber> Does anyone know of reliable information regarding the latest Adobe Flash vulnerability and working exploits against Ubuntu systems running the affected version of Flash?
[19:17] <gansta93> http://a.pomf.cat/etpxvk.webm
[19:18] <ioria> michael_mbp, then, https://www.openssl.org/
[19:18] <reisio> Forbidd3n: probably because it can't login without its dir
[19:19] <Forbidd3n> what do you mean without it's dir
[19:19] <nicomachus> samfreenode: convenience and security are usually a tradeoff. Are you sure Android does that? I have separate passwords to decrypt and unlock on my phone.
[19:19] <Forbidd3n> the dir is created and is assigned to this user
[19:19] <latsni> Our server shoud send mails to our administrator unfortnatly our mail server uses grey listing but it seems that the ubuntu server doesn't support that when sending mails, is there a way to change that?
[19:19] <reisio> Forbidd3n: which dir?
[19:19] <samfreenode> I’d say Dustin Kirkland’s outlook on eCryptfs is quite realistic. I  don't see why file names are not encrypted from the start, but I find no  fault in giving people ultra simple data encryption as eCryptfs does,  even if the threat model is primarily computer thieves, presumably with  no crypto or forensics knowledge and/or need for such information.  However, outside that area of general protection, eCryptfs would
[19:19] <Forbidd3n> I changed it to /var/www/hmtl/assets/flyers
[19:19] <Forbidd3n> from /home/vmarketing
[19:19] <wileee> michael_mbp, was patched I believe, the packages were not renamed.
[19:19] <Forbidd3n> flyers is set to vmarketing:vmarketing
[19:20] <samfreenode> nicomachus: Maybe they are seperate passwords, but both changed at the same time to the same thing
[19:20] <nicomachus> Hm. That would be a security flaw, in my eyes.
[19:21] <Bashing-om> michael_mbp: Way back then "heartbleed" was patched within hours of it's disclosure . Your build info: terminal command ' openssl version -a ' .
[19:21] <wileee> like most issues, covered fast
[19:22] <nicomachus> wew open source
[19:22] <michael_mbp> Bashing-om?
[19:22] <Forbidd3n> reisio: ?
[19:22] <michael_mbp> yeah, that's how I'm getting my openssl version
[19:22] <michael_mbp> got 1.0.1f
[19:23] <michael_mbp> which according to heatbleed is vulnerable and I have a server in production with it.
[19:23] <michael_mbp> BUT the heartbleed site says it's not affected LOL
[19:23] <wileee> you were patched in an update
[19:23] <michael_mbp> wileee: ?
[19:24] <wileee> michael_mbp, look on the web dude
[19:24] <michael_mbp> patched in what update.
[19:24] <michael_mbp> you talking about the background security updates?
[19:24] <reisio> Forbidd3n: ?
[19:24] <wileee> if you're smart enough to build a server you can figure it out
[19:25] <Forbidd3n> reisio: any idea on why I can't login after changing the users home directory?
[19:25] <michael_mbp> wileee: not helpful when you talk about a patch, that I haven't applied.
[19:25] <reisio> Forbidd3n: that dir probably isn't owned by the user
[19:25] <reisio> Forbidd3n: sounds like you're in the tall grass
[19:25] <Forbidd3n> it is set to vmarketing:vmarketing
[19:26] <Forbidd3n> that is the user
[19:26] <Forbidd3n> I even tried vmarketing:ubuntu

[19:27] <nicomachus> or also: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-protect-your-server-against-the-heartbleed-openssl-vulnerability
[19:27] <michael_mbp> nicomachus: Ah, I think what wileee meant was the apt package has been patched.
[19:27] <michael_mbp> openssl's built on: Thu Jun 11 15:28:12 UTC 2015 duh.
[19:28] <nicomachus> i got tired of reading the snarky back and forths, so I just googled. all taken care of now?
[19:29] <michael_mbp> nicomachus: I know, snarkyness doesn't really help, thanks although I had already found that first link.
[19:30] <wileee> all found on google, huh
[19:30] <michael_mbp> http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/how-to-update-ubuntu-plug-heartbleed-openssl-flaw/ this had info about the built-on date
[19:34] <Bashing-om> michael_mbp: IRT heartbleed vulnerability : See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2280316&highlight=heartbleed as one source .

[19:38] <michael_mbp> so even though I kept seeing 1.0.1f, that 'built-on' indicator was the important bit.
[19:41] <jost> I'm seeing this in the output of df -h: /dev/sda1       917G  871G  4,0K 100% /home
[19:41] <jost> how can this happen, 46 GB of disk space wasted?
[19:43] <Pici> jost: by default, 5% of your filesystem is reserved for root.
[19:44] <Pici> jost: You can change that by doing tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1    if you wanted to change it to 1%.
[19:44] <jost> Pici: do you mean the folder /root?
[19:45] <jost> Or generally on each mounted partition?
[19:45] <Pici> jost: no, I mean the root user, and any processes being run as the root user.
[19:46] <jost> Pici: thanks, that was seemingly the problem :-)

[20:09] <[TK]D-Fender> Quick question : looking to use Ubuntu desktop as a HOME server.  Basically Dektop for HTPC purposes, and run KVM for some small VM's, Samba for file serving, and maybe another small thing or two.  Any particular gotchas in trying to use the desktop version in this manner?
[20:10] <reisio> [TK]D-Fender: nope
[20:10] <tgm4883> [TK]D-Fender: the only difference between the desktop and server version is that the desktop contains a desktop
[20:11] <TJ-> [TK]D-Fender: possibly response latency - you might want to use the lowlatency rather than generic kernel build
[20:11] <[TK]D-Fender> And as enabling standard root login?
[20:11] <[TK]D-Fender> as for*
[20:11] <sn0w3> Is it possible to enable root login in Ubuntu ?
[20:11] <[TK]D-Fender> nothing special beyond the common instructions already out there?
[20:12] <TJ-> sn0w3: Anything is possible; whether it is advisable is another matter
[20:12] <[TK]D-Fender> I have found a few guides for a version or two behind while I presume are largely compatible if not as-is
[20:12] <[TK]D-Fender> basically I'm acquiring a nice box I'd like to run as a general-purpose server and as my HTPC rig so as not to need extra boxes.

[20:21] <Guest93232> ok tgm4883 is it a small task to shrink the current ubuntu install to a minimal size and copy it to a cdrom?
[20:21] <nicomachus> the current Ubuntu iso is too large for a CD-Rom, but will fit on a DVD-Rom.
[20:21] <tgm4883> Guest93232: A CDROM? you'd have to remove quite a bit of stuff
[20:22] <reisio> use the minimalcd/mini image
[20:22] <Guest93232> tgm4883 Yes, I want the compiler and keys. I want to install something updated on the machine but want to keep this old stuff as a reference archive.
[20:23] <sn0w3> Still anyone having CDROM ??
[20:23] <sn0w3> Lol
[20:23] <tgm4883> Guest93232: so you want to backup the current install and install a newer version?
[20:23] <tgm4883> sn0w3: yes, many people do
[20:23] <sn0w3> Lucky you did not ask Ubuntu in a floppy.. Lol
[20:24] <MonkeyDust> sn0w3  yes, a technical rescue disk
[20:24] <tgm4883> sn0w3: getting pretty off topic
[20:24] <Guest93232> tgm4883 I want the backup to cdrom and I will install another distro.
[20:25] <tgm4883> Guest93232: if your install is small enough, you could use clonezilla
[20:25] <Guest93232> Is it practicle to boot from something live and do a dd to cdrom?
[20:26] <Guest93232> tgm4883 what does clonezilla do?
[20:26] <tgm4883> Guest93232: no, I don't believe that would work
[20:26] <tgm4883> !clonezilla | Guest93232
[20:26] <tgm4883> hmm, could have sworn that was a factoid
[20:26] <tgm4883> Guest93232: http://clonezilla.org/
[20:27] <Guest93232> The problem is that it has a custom crypto setup.
[20:28] <nicomachus> eek
[20:28] <Guest93232> So it is very difficult to resize the partitions.
[20:29] <Daniel070189> hi everyone
[20:29] <nicomachus> no other media handy that you can back it up to? usb?
[20:29] <Guest93232> Yes I have usb media however it is not apropriate for archiving.
[20:29] <Daniel070189> pidgin is best
[20:29] <TJ-> Guest93232: if it is LUKS, as long as the header remains intact resizing (shrinking) the decrypted block device is fine
[20:29] <reisio> Guest93232: works fine, if you have enough devices
[20:30] <Daniel070189> alguem do brasil
[20:30] <Pici> !br | Daniel070189
[20:31] <TJ-> Guest93232: e.g. /dev/sda5 = 100G LUKS/dm-crypt -> decrypts to /dev/mapper/file-system which has 85GB free. Shrink /dev/mapper/file-system to its minimum and back-up the FS, *not* /dev/sda5
[20:32] <Guest93232> TJ the custom crypto is loopy.
[20:32] <TJ-> Guest93232: at some point te block device has to be presented decrypted; back that up
[20:32] <Rafen> Is there a program that takes ubuntu commands given via the gui and lets you see the command in a terminal..as its being issued?
[20:33] <Daniel070189> niguem no canal do brasil
[20:33] <TJ-> Guest93232: if the install is done via some 'custom crypto' then it isn't a standard Ubuntu installation, or something we can help with.

[20:38] <fRit_^> hello
[20:38] <jhutchins> Me, about two months ago: "awstats will produce spikes just like the ones that are taking 70 sites off-line every hour.  We don't use it, why don't we turn it off?"
[20:38] <jhutchins> Them, today: "awstats was running from two different cron jobs every hour.  I turned it off and it fixed those spikes."
[20:39] <fRit_^> hello, how can I .xades file decrypt?
[20:40] <orfeo> hello guys!
[20:40] <fRit_^> hello
[20:40] <orfeo> I have a process stuck on a remote server I need to figure how to identify and kill it. Could someone help me please?
[20:41] <n_blownapart> hi what is a shrunken VM instance as opposed to a skeleton os?
[20:41] <orfeo> hey, hi fRit_^ !
[20:41] <neurotus> orfeo: use top or htop ?
[20:41] <fRit_^> orfeo: hi
[20:41] <neurotus> orfeo: or is it more complicated case ?
[20:42] <neurotus> orfeo: just kill the one that is in zombie state
[20:42] <reisio> n_blownapart: both meaningless adjectives, IMO
[20:43] <n_blownapart> well, the skeleton term just means no desktop, right? reisio
[20:44] <reisio> n_blownapart: doesn't mean anything to me
[20:44] <reisio> n_blownapart: what's it to you?
[20:44] <orfeo> Sorry, I got disconnected.
[20:44] <orfeo> Where were we?
[20:44] <n_blownapart> I want to install a centos 7 VM on my ubuntu machine, via Vagrant, reisio. the "pre-baked" centos box is listed as shrunken.
[20:46] <reisio> probably means they either eliminated unused disk space form the image, so it has not much space to start with
[20:46] <reisio> or that it is compressed
[20:46] <reisio> and it'll end up larger than it seems
[20:47] <reisio> /msg alis list *vagrant*
[20:47] <orfeo> I know there is a process running but I don't know how to identify which one is it.
[20:47] <Bashing-om> jost_: 100% capacity in '/' : I can not help but be concerned that the /boot partiton is filled with old kernels. ' dpkg -l | grep linux- ' , To confirm .
[20:47] <n_blownapart> thanks reisio
[20:47] <jost_> Bashing-om: it was the home partition, and old kernels are regularly removed
[20:48] <Serus> hi
[20:48] <Serus> my friend recently upgraded his server to ubuntu trusty
[20:49] <Serus> but now he's gettting errors with insserv when trying to update or install packages
[20:49] <orfeo> Hello?
[20:49] <orfeo> Could someone help me please?
[20:49] <nicomachus> Serus: what kind of errors?
[20:49] <fRit_^> hello, how can I .xades file decrypt?
[20:49] <nicomachus> orfeo: Not unless you ask a question.
[20:50] <Serus> update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults
[20:51] <Serus> insserv: Default-Start undefined, assuming empty start runlevel(s) for script `binfmt-support'
[20:51] <orfeo> nicomachus: I have one process running at a virtual server which I don't know how to identify and kill it.
[20:51] <Bashing-om> jost_: :)
[20:51] <yoierlied> Serus: yep. It's replaced by init.d
[20:51] <Serus> from what I see here, insserv is conflicting with upstart
[20:52] <Serus> is it safe to remove insserv and the stuff that depends on it?
[20:52] <k1l_> Serus: that insserv issues are from wrong scripts. please pastebin the exact messages
[20:52] <BitNova> hi guys, ive been having this really strange problem, i cannot solve it. the 'disks' program mounts all storage drives and usb drives as read only, after using sshfs command line options to mount a remote drive it worked. but then all my drives get mounted as read only. except my ubuntu drive.   When i click on a drive in nautilus as usual to mount it, it mounts it as ro, please can someone tell me how to revert back to the defaults?
[20:52] <Serus> or should I do something else?
[20:53] <yoierlied> BitNova: neat
[20:53] <orfeo> So, how do could I figure which process could be blocking my host?
[20:53] <BitNova> yoierlied ?
[20:53] <Serus> k1l_: http://pastebin.com/Mk8jq8g3
[20:53] <yoierlied> orfeo: killall
[20:54] <yoierlied> BitNova: big prob little solution
[20:55] <BitNova> yoierlied, can you elaborate? have you come across this before..
[20:55] <BitNova> im pretty sure i can force the drives to mount as rw in fstab.. but i dont wanna use fstab
[20:56] <orfeo> yoierlied: doesn't work like that.
[20:56] <Serus> so what do I do?
[20:56] <tgm4883> BitNova: with one of the drives mounted, can you pastebin the 'mount' command
[20:56] <k1l_> Serus: sudo update-rc.d mdadm-raid remove && sudo update-rc.d mdadm-raid defaults
[20:57] <BitNova> ok tgm4883, can you explain to me where on pastebin and how to do that on which site?
[20:57] <tgm4883> !pastebin | BitNova
[20:57] <Serus> doesn't work, k1l_
[20:58] <orfeo> If I reboot my server those processes just start restart as well.
[20:58] <Serus> The script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart job, but lsb-header is not supported for Upstart jobs. < k1l_
[20:58] <k1l_> Serus: yes, seems like the init scripts are a mess there
[20:59] <k1l_> Serus: is there some ppa or other 3rd party involved with mdam etc?
[20:59] <Serus> uh
[20:59] <Serus> I don't know
[20:59] <Serus> this is my friend's server
[20:59] <BitNova> yoierlied, please stop harassing me and swearing at me in pvt. can someone ban this guy?
[21:00] <Serus> how do I check?
[21:00] <orfeo> Couls someone point me to a ubuntu server channel please?
[21:00] <orfeo> Could*
[21:00] <k1l_> Serus: apt-cache policy mdadm-raid
[21:00] <auronandace> !server | orfeo
[21:00] <orfeo> Please?
[21:00]  * k1l_ needs to go afk for some minutes
[21:00] <Serus> unable to locate
[21:00] <orfeo> k1l_: I need the irc channel of it.
[21:01] <yoierlied> BitNova: You PM me
[21:01] <orfeo> k1l_: got it thank you.
[21:01] <Serus> orfeo: what's the channel?
[21:08] <Twigler> hi guys
[21:09] <ryanalexmartin> hi
[21:10] <BitNova> tgm4883, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/12535188/
[21:13] <tgm4883> BitNova: is it anything that you plug in gets mounted as ro, or only things that are formatted NTFS?
[21:14] <BitNova> both.. my drives in my box are formatted as ntfs. and usb's as well
[21:14] <BitNova> this all happened when i was trying to mount a remote drive with sshfs
[21:14] <BitNova> which i eventually got right
[21:14] <Serus> k1l_: it's unable to locate it
[21:15] <BitNova> something with fuse.. and modprobe..
[21:15] <tgm4883> BitNova: that wasn't really an answer to my question. If you plug in a drive that is say, fat32, does it mount ro?
[21:15] <BitNova> i dont know. i havent tried another format
[21:15] <BitNova> only ntfs
[21:16] <BitNova> must i try another format on a usb stick to see?
[21:17] <tgm4883> BitNova: IDK, I find it odd that it's doing that, if it's NTFS only then maybe there is some setting with the NTFS driver
[21:17]  * tgm4883 shrugs
[21:18] <auronandace> BitNova: do your removable drives have some sort of write protection switch on them?
[21:18] <k1l_> Serus: "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" and "ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d" please in a pastebin
[21:18] <BitNova> auronandace, no they dont. everything was normal before. i could read and write, and mount the drives on demand through nautilus.
[21:19] <BitNova> like i said this all happened after i installled fuse and did modprobe fuse etc.. to mount a remote drive
[21:19] <tgm4883> hmm
[21:19] <BitNova> i actually uninstalled fuse, and then reinstalled.. because i was battling to mount the remote drive.
[21:20] <tgm4883> BitNova: did you reboot or unload the fuse module?
[21:20] <BitNova> i rebooted yes
[21:20] <Serus> k1l_: http://pastebin.com/nMuVPLmG
[21:20] <BitNova> fuse is somehow connected to the udisks2 ...isnt it?
[21:21] <auronandace> BitNova: fuse is file system in user space, i think ntfs-3g relies on it
[21:21] <BitNova> im sure i can force mount the drives through fstab.. but i dont want to do that. i want it to mount through DISKS. or nautilus like i said. and im sure i can use manual options under mount options in DISKS program, but i want it to stay AUTO. like it was
[21:22] <BitNova> so somehow the auto options in the backround of the DISKS program loads all drives as RO
[21:22] <k1l_> Serus: ok, seems like that is a bit of hickup which ends up in a circle of conflicts. lets try a method now:
[21:23] <k1l_> Serus: make backup of /etc/init.d/mdadm file somewhere; find line starting with '# Required-Start' in /etc/init.d/mdadm file, and remove string 'mdadm-raid' from this line; run command: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade; immediately restore /etc/init.d/mdadm file (and other, if necessary) from the backup.
[21:23] <Serus> ok
[21:24] <Serus> heh, he also PM'd me
[21:25] <BitNova> thanks k1l_ he didnt stop
[21:26] <k1l_> if a user in here gets harassment in PM from others user just report in #ubuntu-ops . the guy is clever enough to not PM the ops.
[21:26] <k1l_> he left in here. if he continues (since he already got your PMs open) report to #freenode so server staff can take actions
[21:26] <Serus> k1l_: still doesn't work
[21:27] <k1l_> Serus: new message? please show the output from the updates
[21:27] <Serus> /sbin/mdadm already running.
[21:28] <Serus> and it has dependency problems configuring the other packages
[21:28] <k1l_> Serus: can you pastebin it?
[21:28] <Serus> http://pastebin.com/e2eBTESM
[21:32] <BitNova> auronandace, ....
[21:32] <k1l_> Serus: "sudo insserv -f"
[21:33] <Serus> sudo: insserv: command not found
[21:35] <k1l_> Serus: "sudo touch /etc/init.d/.legacy-bootordering"
[21:35] <Serus> already did that
[21:35] <Serus> unless I typo'd
[21:36] <k1l_> Serus: honestly i think that somewhere in the past webmin did some stuff with the boot-init and now that mess is taken with that upgrades.
[21:37] <Serus> so what should my friend do?
[21:37] <Serus> backup the important stuff and get support to reinstall his server?
[21:39] <k1l_> i mean you could look at every init.d script that is mentioned there and test stuff. but that might take longer than make a clean 14.04 reinstall
[21:39] <k1l_> the "easy fixes" didnt work so far :/
[21:40] <ProfMac> In Trusty, some of the networking configuration information is not in /etc/network/interfaces.  Where is it?
[21:40] <k1l_> ProfMac: if its not set in the interfaces file its set in the network manager
[21:41] <Guest93084> hola
[21:41] <BitNova> guys please.. is anyone going to help me with my drives problem? :( they are all mounted as read only. i dont know what to do :(
[21:42] <dholbert> Howdy folks! Anyone know where best to provide feedback for the Ubuntu 15.10 installer flow?
[21:43] <dholbert> The "Help and Support" blurb is near-unreadable, with dark text on dark background: https://i.imgur.com/dX0Gz5F.png
[21:43] <k1l_> dholbert: mailinglist or bugreport since its still in developing state
[21:43] <dholbert> (just installed 15.10, using today's daily)
[21:43] <ProfMac> k1l_: Thanks, found the files.
[21:44] <dholbert> k1l_, thanks!
[21:45] <dholbert> k1l_, I think https://launchpad.net/~ubiquity-slideshow is where I want to file that bug -- does that seem sane?
[21:46] <k1l_> dholbert: yes
[21:46] <dholbert> k1l_, thanks
[21:50] <Serus> k1l_: he could simply wipe the install itself, not the data, in rescue mode and then install trusty again, right?
[21:50] <dholbert> [I ended up emailing the ubiquity-slideshow mailing list linked from that launchpad page]
[21:51] <k1l_> Serus: sorry i dont know what setup that guy got there.
[21:51] <dholbert> [didn't end up finding an obvious place to file the bug]
[21:51] <k1l_> !bug | dholbert
[21:53] <TJ-> Serus: You might be able to fix the issues by un-diverting update-rc.d. check if it is diverted to the insserv tool using "dpkg-divert --list /usr/sbin/update*"
[21:53] <Serus> no output
[21:58] <TJ-> Serus: which Ubuntu release did the system upgrade from?
[21:58] <Serus> 12.04
[22:03] <potatomaster> is the ubuntu live cd secure if i just plug it in and do online banking then turn it off or would there be vulnerabilities that could be exploited in that short window
[22:04] <Serus> TJ-, k1l_, apparently his server died during the upgrade and he hard rebooted it
[22:05] <Serus> he's going for the reinstall
[22:05] <Serus> thanks for the help
[22:07] <nopf> potatomaster: nothing is secure in such a networked system, but i'd trust it as far as you trust the domain-CAs. unless your bank was hacked and tries to hack you
[22:09] <potatomaster> so I wouldn't be susceptible to like a key logger from an old vulnerability that isnt fixed in the live cd then?  it should be secure enough for an hour of use without installing updates etc?
[22:13] <nopf> a key logger should not be on the cd and not be able to creep in, unless there is a remote exploit, which is not that probable on a system not running services to the outside
[22:14] <potatomaster> perfect thank you nopf
[22:15] <nopf> potatomaster: there is the problem with firefox accepting weak encryption which might not be up to date on older cds, but as long as there is not evil middle man between you and the bank, this shouldn't matter
[22:17] <potatomaster> I'm trying to set it up so my mother can do online banking safely as she shares a computer with my grandmother who tends to click and install everything she sees, so it isn't really a safe environment for such things
[22:17] <potatomaster> and I'm not really a tech guy so I'm doing my best lol
[22:18] <zykotick9> potatomaster: <sidenote/OT> there is a security/privacy focused livecd project called Tails.  It's based on debian...
[22:18] <potatomaster> ill have a look at that too thank you
[22:23] <io__> ciao
[22:28] <io__> ciao
[22:29] <cluelessperson> I don't know if I can stand debian
[22:29] <cluelessperson> every other package I try to install and it can't be found
[22:31] <k1l_> cluelessperson: well, since you are in #ubuntu, use ubuntu :)
[22:31] <cluelessperson> k1l_, probably is, almost everything at work has been configured with ubuntu, so switching to debian suddenly for new servers may be unadvised.
[22:32] <tgm4883> cluelessperson: so.... use ubuntu?
[22:33] <cluelessperson> tgm4883, I don't think it's that simple
[22:33] <kimyl>  On a standard account I can't connect to my VPN without entering root password. How can I give this user access?
[22:33] <tgm4883> cluelessperson: how is it not that simple. You said everything at work was configured with Ubuntu, so just continue using ubuntu?
[22:34] <tgm4883> cluelessperson: that's litterally the simpilist solution
[22:34] <Forbidd3n> anyone that can help me with this, please? I created a new user and need to allow them access to /var/www/html directory and jail them to it
[22:34] <io__>  /EXEC rm -vf /home/io/.xchat2/buduscript/tmp/budus_XDCC_8210.query
[22:34] <cluelessperson> tgm4883, >.<  I'm being a moron.  Everything at work has DEBIAN, and I want ubuntu
[22:34] <tgm4883> cluelessperson: ah
[22:34] <cluelessperson> I'm thinking of saying screw them and just using it, but the standard so far is debian
[22:35] <tgm4883> cluelessperson: well I'm not going to try and advise you on your work environment
[22:39] <JOW> Hey dear fellows!!! I wanna detect and use a printer here at my lab, how do I do it?
[22:39] <JOW> =)
[22:42] <JOW> .... Come on guys... I wanna access my wireless printer..
[22:44] <JOW> okay, fine!
[22:44] <fRit_^> hello, how can I .xades file decrypt?
[22:47] <cluelessperson> christ, ubuntu even downloads like 10 times faster
[22:48] <cluelessperson> fRit_^, what is .xades?
[22:52] <potatomaster> seems like this place had a lot more activity 5 years ago, what happened?  just a lot less people using IRC?
[22:54] <SuperxMan> potatomaster: you should have seen 10 years ago
[22:55] <SuperxMan> *seen it
[22:55] <Bashing-om> potatomaster: I have heard the theory that more people are more familiar with ubuntu, and it is more stable now .
[22:56] <Rexter> Just a test. Who loves Ubuntu?
[23:06] <bprompt> potatomaster:    I'd think the opposite, more folks are on irc per se, many other "forums" have been developed that have proliferated the irc format, many are just called blogs, many just called chats,  and many sites provide them as part of their services, that's true of myspace.com, or facebook.com or blogspot or a plethora of others, I've even used it for live support on a webstorage provider, they offer it on a browser click in a
[23:06] <potatomaster> oh nice
[23:07] <bprompt> just recently stackoverflow.com   added their own live support chat/forum service as well, yahoo has had their for a good while now
[23:10] <bprompt> potatomaster:   overall however, the irc protocol is still the more efficient though, lower bandwidth footprint and lower memory overhead with much more customizability, but folks have other live chat/forum venues/choices they can use, besides irc
[23:21] <BigMao> Hey guys - I did a fresh install of Ubuntu on a machine with a 4K monitor. I've gotten a lot of the scaling to work correctly, except the mouse pointer is still having problems. Can someone suggest how I can have a mouse pointer that's twice as large as the default? Thanks a lot.
[23:33] <krispy> hello all, newb to irc, still learning BASH
[23:33] <bazhang> krispy, #bash can help
[23:34] <amigoo89> hey
[23:34] <krispy> thanks bazhang, i understand some of it, but say for example the man and help files...i dont understand the syntax
[23:35] <bazhang> try man man to start krispy
[23:35] <Rexter> BigMao, as far as I know, ubuntu has only very limited Mouse controls. I think you will be looking for a third part app.
[23:35] <amigoo89> I am trying to update my vsftpd on my linux machine, but no matter if I try apt-get update / apt-get upgrade, it doesn't upgrad to version 3.x, how can I get the latest version of it?
[23:36] <krispy> will do, im on my windows drive atm, need to get an irc client on ubuntu...running the gnome desktop atm, any recommendation on which package to install?
[23:36] <Abe> I use irssi
[23:36] <burstroc> hi everyone, i'm on lubuntu 14.04 LTS and i'm having issues trying to set up a linksys wusb11 ver 2.6 usb wifi adapter. the device shows up in lsusb and iwconfig but it doesn't seem to connect
[23:37] <bazhang> hexchat for gui, irssi or weechat for cli krispy
[23:37] <Rexter> krispy, I disagree with bazhang. My opinion is the man files are only useful to someone who already understands the command, but needs to find an option.
[23:37] <Abe> burstroc: you need an driver for the stick to run it
[23:37] <Rexter> man is more of a reference, you need a guide.
[23:38] <burstroc> Abe: i installed atmel-firmware and hal and that got it to appear in my outputs, do i need something else?
[23:39] <Abe> burstroc: I don't know I would have to google about your stick
[23:39] <amigoo89> I am trying to update my vsftpd on my linux machine, but no matter if I try apt-get update / apt-get upgrade, it doesn't upgrad to version 3.x, how can I get the latest version of it?
[23:40] <Abe> Installing wifi usb adapters can be sometimes a pain in the ass
[23:40] <nlife> amigoo89 try synaptic
[23:41] <krispy> since win 10 came out and ruined my computer, ive went hell bent on learning a linux os. i gotta say linux is awesome, im kicking myself for not jumping on it earlier. i used to know MSDOS commmands like i know english, and thus was able to do a lot of advanced stuff and override windows...esp win 98 and prior
[23:41] <krispy> <<old school lol
[23:42] <Abe> burstroc: hey did you try sudo modprobe at76c50x-usb
[23:42] <Gale_Grim> 10 was over hyped, and has a bunch of shit on it. I would sooner take XP
[23:42] <burstroc> Abe: yes, it did nothing
[23:42] <bazhang> no cursing here Gale_Grim
[23:42] <Forbidd3n> Anyone here know how I can force a user to chroot to /var/www/html/assets/flyers directory instead of them going to their home directory?
[23:42] <amigoo89> nlife: it is for graphical interface right? I only have a shell
[23:42] <Gale_Grim> of sorry.
[23:43] <Gale_Grim> bunch of crud on it.
[23:43] <bazhang> krispy, this is the support channel, could you please take the chat to #ubuntu-offtopic ? thanks
[23:43] <Chaser> amigoo89: I would also try apt-get dist-upgrade
[23:44] <Abe> burstroc: I found this on your device https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/LinksysWUSB11 follow it. Maybe I would restart my machine after that. but you probably did that all already. cuz that's where I got that Information from
[23:44] <burstroc> Abe: yep, i followed all the "new" instructions, and i guess it's supposed to work now, but it isn't. :p
[23:45] <krispy> bazhang, was just making making small talk, ill keep things on topic :)
[23:45] <Abe> did you try to restart that helps sometimes
[23:45] <Abe> It did for me on some machines
[23:46] <burstroc> Abe: wait, i'm starting to remember things... is there a wifi device driver that i need to disable? *googles*
[23:47] <Abe> burstroc: yes I would delete all previous ones so they don't interfer with each other... but thats just my opinion
[23:47] <amigoo89> Chaser: Okay I will do it now
[23:47] <krispy> i had a prob running my cdrom and had to find a prog in the package that was defined as diagnostic for disk drives
[23:47] <amigoo89> what is the difference, between upgrade and dist-upgrade?
[23:47] <krispy> i know the wifi adapter would be more difficult
[23:48] <Abe> burstroc: wish you good luck
[23:48] <burstroc> Abe: thanks :[
[23:50] <Abe> well I try to assist as much as I can. but I can only help you with google things cuz every usb wifi is different. I think you will get it running at some point. hope that somebody has more experience here than I have with that. I can only google too.
[23:52] <krispy> going to reboot in ubuntu after this download is complete, being that im new to irc probably best to learn it on the OS im getting aquainted w/...thanks to all for the recommendation of hexchat as irc client among the other stuff
[23:52] <amigoo89> it still doesn't work...
[23:52] <amigoo89> vsftpd is already the newest version.
[23:52] <amigoo89> which is not true
[23:52] <Bashing-om> amigoo89: "dist-upgrade' invokes apt's "smart" mode to resolve dependencies and to install new software .
[23:54] <Techspectre> Installing Ubuntu on a UEFI machine in Legacy BIOS mode, need to use USB 2.0 or can I use 3.0?
[23:55] <Bashing-om> amigoo89: "which is not true" I bet that if you run 'apt-cache policy <package>' you will see that it is true for the packages that are presently installed .
[23:56] <Abe> Burstroc: does that help? : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1483506 ... I see you're not there anymore
[23:57] <wileee> Techspectre, the legacy mode has nothing to do with the usb on installs, use which works.
[23:57] <amigoo89> Bashing-om: I think now, that the reason is that I run ubuntu 12.04 and maybe it is only avaiblabe for 14.04
[23:58] <Chaser> amigoo89: :) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=vsftpd
[23:58] <Chaser> You can see the versions across releases.
[23:58] <Bashing-om> amigoo89: Maybe, run ' apt-cache show vsftpd ' see what results from the repo . - partner repo enabled in Software Sources ' .
