| gp5st | is it possible to install nagios3 without install apache in 14.04? | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| linos | how can I delete file in another directory if I'm lets say in a base directory | 00:06 |
| k1l | linos: rm works with path. like: rm /path/to/file | 00:07 |
| gp5st | linos: rm accepts absolute pats (as well as the relative one's you're used to) | 00:07 |
| linos | <k1l>: what about if there are multiple files? | 00:07 |
| gp5st | linos: spaces! | 00:07 |
| gp5st | you can put a space between each file (or directory) you'd like to remove | 00:08 |
| imthenachoman | does ubuntu have any help files on how to create startup scripts? | 00:08 |
| gp5st | imthenachoman: what type of init script? | 00:08 |
| gp5st | the newest ubuntu uses systemd, so you'd want to look for how to write service files for systemd | 00:09 |
| linos | gp5st: what about removing multiple files? | 00:09 |
| gp5st | older versions used upstart | 00:09 |
| imthenachoman | gp5st: thanks. i'll check systemd | 00:09 |
| k1l | linos: if they are named similar you can use wildcards or regexp. | 00:09 |
| imthenachoman | gp5st: i just need to write this script to be ubuntu friendly : http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=79262 | 00:09 |
| gp5st | and all versions still support sysvinit scripts, but are not recommended | 00:09 |
| gp5st | linos: spaces between them, like I said | 00:09 |
| gp5st | rm /path/to/file1 /second/path/file2 | 00:10 |
| gp5st | you can use globs like you're probably used to rm /path/to/*.files | 00:10 |
| gp5st | but be _very_ careful to make sure there aren't spurious spaces:) | 00:10 |
| linos | gp5st: example rm -rf /some/path/dir/WhatDoIputHereToDeleteAllFiles | 00:11 |
| k1l | linos: all files? | 00:12 |
| gp5st | linos: * will match all files, so /path/to/* will expand to all the files in /path/to/ | 00:12 |
| linos | gp5st: that is what I've been trying, but the files are not being deleted | 00:12 |
| gp5st | (so the rm command will actually see all the files in /path/to/ separated by spaced and with absolute paths) | 00:12 |
| gp5st | linos: are any errors being given | 00:13 |
| linos | nope | 00:13 |
| k1l | linos: what files and folder are we talking about? | 00:13 |
| linos | gp5st: it works when I'm local | 00:13 |
| gp5st | ls -la /path/to/ shows files after running rm -rf /path/to/*? | 00:13 |
| gp5st | do you have write permission on /path/to? | 00:14 |
| linos | a directory that I created with files in it. | 00:14 |
| gp5st | try the -v switch for rm | 00:14 |
| utu8o | is there are good linux app that fully utilizes a tablet with pen? | 00:17 |

| R1l3y | hi | 00:17 |
| maddawg4 | ppl still have tablets with pens ? | 00:18 |
| maddawg4 | lol | 00:18 |
| maddawg4 | did you lose your fingers? | 00:19 |
| imthenachoman | gp5st: if i am using 14.04 lts i should use init scripts? | 00:21 |
| Ooboontoo | I forgot the password to sign into my main account, so I have to use the guest account. How do I retrieve my password? | 00:21 |
| OerHeks | !password | 00:22 |
| ubottu | Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords | 00:22 |
| linos | gp5st: nothing happens | 00:23 |
| linos | gp5st: how can that be | 00:23 |
| linos | gp5st: the command can only be performed as root | 00:25 |
| linos | gp5st just figured it out | 00:25 |
| k1l | linos: in that case it should give an error that the file doesnt exist. | 00:26 |
| k1l | or it cant remove. due to file permissions | 00:26 |
| gp5st | linos: what was it? | 00:32 |
| Hudsonkem | I installed synfig studio from .deb, but its denied, I have been try change permition of synfig, but it doesnt, any ideas? | 00:33 |
| I-Needs_Help | hello, may I have help with my computer's partitions? | 00:34 |
| gp5st | Hudsonkem: what error do you get? and what command are you running? | 00:34 |
| linos | gp5st: I had to run sudo rm -r Path/to/dir/* | 00:34 |
| gp5st | linos: that's a relative path | 00:35 |
| gp5st | I-Needs_Help: don't ask to ask. | 00:35 |
| DChapman | I-Needs_Help: What's your question about partitions? | 00:35 |
| Hudsonkem | hudsonkem@Maki-chan:/usr/bin$ synfig | 00:35 |
| Hudsonkem | bash: /usr/bin/synfig: Permission denied | 00:35 |
| I-Needs_Help | i have some unallocated space and would like to use it | 00:35 |
| linos | gp5st: ok, how does that effect deleting files? | 00:36 |
| I-Needs_Help | there is little space left and i need all i can get | 00:36 |
| maddawg3 | then use it I-Needs_Help | 00:36 |
| I-Needs_Help | use what? | 00:36 |
| maddawg3 | the unallocated space | 00:36 |
| maddawg3 | allocate it and use it | 00:36 |
| I-Needs_Help | how? | 00:36 |
| DChapman | Again, what's your question? | 00:36 |
| Hudsonkem | i tried change file permition -rwx-------- to -054 but it doesnt work | 00:36 |
| maddawg3 | well you can either create it as a partition or if it's part of an existing disk you can increase the size | 00:37 |
| maddawg3 | i.e. unallocated partition | 00:37 |
| gp5st | linos: it's not so much deleting it /path/to/file means the path from /, the root of the file system. path/to/file means, starting in the current directory, go to the dir `path` then `to` and there is `file` | 00:37 |
| I-Needs_Help | i would loke to increase the space of already existing (root) partition | 00:37 |
| maddawg3 | if it's an unallocated partition then use GParted to extend it | 00:37 |
| DChapman | Note that changing the size of partitions can have unwanted side effects, such as losing data. | 00:37 |
| I-Needs_Help | ok i have gparted on my system | 00:37 |
| gp5st | linos: we thought you meant something else than you did when you originally ask | 00:37 |
| maddawg3 | I-Needs_Help, then boot from a ubuntu live cd and open gparted | 00:37 |
| maddawg3 | you cant do it from the running partition | 00:37 |
| I-Needs_Help | its already installed | 00:37 |
| maddawg3 | you have to do it from a live cd | 00:37 |
| I-Needs_Help | ohhh | 00:38 |
| maddawg3 | yes you cant do it while the system is running | 00:38 |
| DChapman | You can't resize a partition while it is mounted... | 00:38 |
| I-Needs_Help | ok | 00:38 |
| gp5st | Hudsonkem: for some reason it doesn't have the x perm set | 00:38 |
| linos | gp5st: ah ha. Ok, I get it now | 00:38 |
| maddawg3 | so boot a ubuntu disk and open gparted | 00:38 |
| maddawg3 | it should be on the live cd as well | 00:38 |
| I-Needs_Help | yes i get it | 00:38 |
| maddawg3 | then you can extend it | 00:38 |
| maddawg3 | the GUI should make sense | 00:38 |
| gp5st | Hudsonkem: 700 means only the owner can execute the file. who is the owner | 00:38 |
| gp5st | Hudsonkem: also, that error can also happen if you have the wrong binary for your architecture | 00:39 |
| I-Needs_Help | but i do not have 1 will the .img file burn to a cd not a dvd because system only have cd drive (lol its kind of old) | 00:39 |
| gp5st | Hudsonkem: eg if you have an x64 bin on an x32 system | 00:39 |
| linos | gp5st: could you send me that last description. I cleared by window by accident | 00:39 |
| gp5st | linos: it's not so much deleting it /path/to/file means the path from /, the root of the file system. path/to/file means, starting in the current directory, go to the dir `path` then `to` and there is `file` | 00:40 |
| gp5st | that? | 00:40 |
| linos | gp5st: thank you very much | 00:40 |
| gp5st | I-Needs_Help: as long as the .img is small enough to fit on a CD it'll work | 00:40 |
| I-Needs_Help | ok ill try it | 00:40 |
| Hudsonkem | well, its says root is the owner | 00:41 |
| gp5st | linos: absolute vs relative paths are common in almost all software , not just rm too | 00:41 |
| Hudsonkem | i tried set +x executive to but doesnt work | 00:41 |
| gp5st | Hudsonkem: doesn't work is the most useless phrase in the english language. What did you do? What was the error? | 00:42 |
| Hudsonkem | have any problem get my user to it? | 00:42 |
| Hudsonkem | gp5st, i tried change permission but, for some reason nothing change | 00:42 |
| gp5st | Hudsonkem: still not helpful. | 00:42 |
| gp5st | it's owned by root, you need to be root or using sudo in order to edit the permissions on it | 00:43 |
| linos | gp5st: now I stumble across another problem, I'm trying to run a an executable using the mono command, so for example I would simply type 'mono nameofexecutable.exe'. How can I run this from another directory, say path/to/dir/mono nameofexecutable.exe?? | 00:43 |
| Hudsonkem | gp5st yes, but doesnt work kk | 00:43 |
| Hudsonkem | ofcourse i used sudo, im admin of system, but no file permission changes after tried it, | 00:44 |
| I-Needs_Help | the image is 3.7 gb and it will obviosly NOT fit on a cd, any other options? | 00:44 |
| gp5st | linos: same deal. don't start with a path if the file is beneath your current directory. / means that ti's the path from the top of the filesystem | 00:44 |
| Hudsonkem | "sudo chmod -054 synfig" | 00:45 |
| gp5st | I-Needs_Help: damnsmalllinux or knoppix? | 00:45 |
| I-Needs_Help | i have no idea. computer is running Ubuntu MATE 14.04 | 00:45 |
| gp5st | Hudsonkem: why are you using -054? | 00:45 |
| gp5st | I-Needs_Help: no, I'm telling you I know those still fit on a CD and DSL is pretty small if you have a slow connection. You could use those as a boot disk and then go into their gparted | 00:46 |
| Hudsonkem | set own execute, and try set read and exe to members | 00:47 |
| gp5st | Hudsonkem: if it's 700, -054 won't change anything | 00:47 |
| I-Needs_Help | i have cox gigablast so internet is very fast. are you telling me to preform an internet startup? | 00:47 |
| Hudsonkem | so, i must get root user to change it? | 00:47 |
| gp5st | Hudsonkem: the - means to subtract those permissions | 00:47 |
| gp5st | Hudsonkem: if it's owned by root, you'd need to be root to change the permissions | 00:48 |
| Obituaryy | hi | 00:48 |
| linos | gp5st: I tried that, but I receive an error mono not found. it almost seems like it chops off the nameofexecutable.exe | 00:48 |
| gp5st | Hudsonkem: man chmod for more info. try chmod a+rx | 00:48 |
| linos | gp5st: I'm trying to build a shell script | 00:48 |
| Hudsonkem | oh ok, i thought sudo was enough, but why it become root file, if i just installed it? | 00:48 |
| gp5st | linos: can you paste the command and error? | 00:48 |
| gp5st | linos: does the path have a space in it? | 00:49 |
| gp5st | Hudsonkem: how did you install it? with sudo dpkg? | 00:49 |
| linos | gp5st: the path does not, but when I have to run the mono command there is a space between mono and the nameofexecutable.exe file | 00:49 |
| Hudsonkem | nope, used center of software | 00:49 |
| keviv | Any reasons host-side that a usb device won't show up under lsusb? | 00:49 |
| gp5st | Also, you shouldn't have to be playing with the permissions. Like I said -054 means remove read and execute from group and read from other | 00:50 |
| gp5st | linos: yeah | 00:50 |
| linos | for example 'mono nameofexecutable.exe' | 00:50 |
| gp5st | linos: that only works if the exe is in the same directory | 00:50 |
| gp5st | Hudsonkem: did it make you enter your password? | 00:50 |
| gp5st | keviv: is the device on? does the device work on other computers (or on this computer)? | 00:51 |
| linos | gp5st: if I'm at the parent directory and type 'mono nameofexecutable.exe', it works fine | 00:51 |
| keviv | gp5st: yeah it's definitely on, it shows as charging. I'll try it on another computer now | 00:52 |
| gp5st | Hudsonkem: regardless I would "sudo chmod 555 /path/to/program" to set r and x for all users | 00:52 |
| gp5st | keviv: some phones will charge even if they're not "on" | 00:52 |
| Hudsonkem | ok let me try it | 00:52 |
| itai | hello | 00:54 |
| gp5st | Hudsonkem: also try "file /path/to/executable" to make sure it's a compatible executable format | 00:54 |
| Hudsonkem | ok i must relogg to see some effects on whisker menu | 00:56 |
| itai | im new to linux and was wondering why after installing and extracting something, i cant open it | 00:56 |
| gp5st | itai: open how? | 00:56 |
| keviv | gp5st: oh yeah, but I meant it was definitely on, and also showing as charging | 00:57 |
| gp5st | Hudsonkem: can you excute it from the command line? | 00:57 |
| keviv | gp5st: I think it might be as stupid as the cable I was using might be charge-only | 00:57 |
| itai | like i downloaded utorrent and extracted and for some reason i cant run it | 00:57 |
| itai | is what i meant | 00:57 |
| gp5st | itai: how have you tried to run it? did you download it from their website or via apt-get/the software center? | 00:58 |
| keviv | gp5st: yup, tried a different cable, and now it works haha | 00:58 |
| shleezy | is there an easy way of fixing my mbr? i have win7 on another drive but it doesn't pick it up on the boot menu | 00:58 |
| itai | their website | 00:58 |
| gp5st | how have you tried to run it? | 00:59 |
| wileee | shleezy, You've run sudo update-grub ? | 00:59 |
| itai | gp5s: idk now that im looking back at it theres nothing to run haha. i was double clicking the UTserver | 01:00 |
| shleezy | wileee: haven't tried that, will try. | 01:02 |
| wileee | grub looks for other OS's with the os=prober with an update | 01:03 |
| wileee | os-prober* doh | 01:03 |
| gp5st | itai: can you open a terminal and go to the directory the executable is in? | 01:04 |
| itai | ok i think im there | 01:08 |
| gp5st | itai: please don't pm | 01:12 |
| AdolfH | hallo | 01:12 |
| gp5st | itai: ok, if you ls -la do you see the executable? | 01:12 |
| AdolfH | nein | 01:12 |
| lulz | yo AdolfH | 01:13 |
| Hudsonkem | ok i reinstalled and change again the permissions and work | 01:13 |
| Hudsonkem | thx gp5st | 01:13 |
| gp5st | Hudsonkem: the software equiv of turning it off and back on :) | 01:13 |
| gp5st | Hudsonkem: glad it works | 01:13 |
| linos | ok, I'm not having much luck. But maybe someone can set me correct. I have a an exe file in a directory in linux and would like to run it from another directory. Is this possible? | 01:14 |
| Hudsonkem | :) i think its kinda bug :V | 01:14 |
| gp5st | linos: yes, but you need to know where it is! Where is the executable? | 01:15 |
| axk4545 | try which <program name here> | 01:15 |
| psusi | linos, do you mean a windows .exe file, or a linux binary? if it's a linux binary, you just specify the full or relative path if the directory it is in isn't already on your PATH | 01:16 |
| linos | gp5st: I do know where it is, but I keep getting the following error message... No such file or directory | 01:16 |
| linos | psusi: I'm running mono | 01:16 |
| axk4545 | what command? | 01:16 |
| linos | psusi: Ubuntu | 01:16 |
| gp5st | linos: so, you know the name? is this something you compiled? did you download and unpack it? why do you think it exists? | 01:16 |
| gp5st | if you think it's in the current directory, try "find . -name NAMEOFTHEEXE" | 01:17 |
| AdolfH | lulz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKrLrhtZrLU | 01:17 |
| linos | gp5st: I created the file myself. its 'Foo.exe' | 01:17 |
| gp5st | itai: so when you open your terminal it'll dump you in your home directory. If you downloaded it into Downloads, cd Downloads | 01:17 |
| === m_A_y_A_t is now known as M_A_Y_A_T | ||
| psusi | linos, and what command did you use? | 01:18 |
| linos | psusi: mono Foo.exe | 01:18 |
| psusi | I *think* that as long as you have mono installed and the exe is set to execute permission, you can just run it like any other binary, but I'm not sure | 01:18 |
| === AdolfH is now known as AdolfHit | ||
| gp5st | psusi: you don't need the exe perm | 01:18 |
| Hudsonkem | linos try, >>whereis <name of program> | 01:18 |
| === AdolfHit is now known as AdolfHitlr | ||
| === eclipse is now known as Guest50193 | ||
| gp5st | linos: how did you create it? | 01:19 |
| axk4545 | AdolfHitlr, speaking of installing Ubuntu, I saw something on efnet that ubuntu is an old african word meaning i don't know how to configure debian. | 01:19 |
| itai | gp5st: Im in the directory. but there is no executable inthere. | 01:19 |
| linos | psusi: this command works fine when I run it from the directory it resides under. So for example when I cd the directory and run mono Foo.exe is works fine | 01:19 |
| AdolfHitlr | i thought it was an old african word meaning i'm too stupid to know how to use arch | 01:20 |
| linos | Hudsonkem: it says Foo: | 01:20 |
| gp5st | itai: what is in it? which dir are you in? | 01:20 |
| axk4545 | Similar idea. AdolfHitlr, I personally use Fedora. | 01:20 |
| AdolfHitlr | i personally use windows | 01:20 |
| === M_A_Y_A_T is now known as m_A_y_A_t | ||
| linos | gp5st: I built it with monodevelop | 01:20 |
| gp5st | linos: ok, so you do know where the executable is? | 01:20 |
| linos | gp5st: yes | 01:21 |
| gp5st | ok, where is it? | 01:21 |
| apollonovich | I'm trying to set up machines to fetch ssh public keys from ldap, but the ssh-ldap package I see in all the posts about it appears no longer to exist? Am I missing something obvious? | 01:21 |
| linos | it is located under Foo/bin/Debug/Foo.exe | 01:21 |
| gp5st | linos: wich dir is the Foo folder in? | 01:22 |
| gp5st | linos: when you're in a folder, you can run pwd to show the absolute path of the current directory, just fyi | 01:23 |
| linos | gp5st: under linos. so for example my ubuntu dir is home/linos/Foo/bin/Debug | 01:23 |
| gp5st | do you mean /home/linos as the home dir (note the leading /!) | 01:24 |
| linos | gp5st: yes | 01:24 |
| gp5st | ok, so if you "cd $HOME" (or "cd" or "cd ~") | 01:24 |
| gp5st | and you "ls -l Foo/bin/Debug/Foo.exe" what happens? | 01:25 |
| linos | gp5st: it prints our the -rwxrwxr-x and the file dir/path/Foo.exe | 01:27 |
| linos | gp5st its there | 01:27 |
| gp5st | itai: what do you sww when you ls -la in the dir you think the executable should be in? | 01:27 |
| gp5st | and if you replace ls -l with mono? | 01:28 |
| linos | gp5st: you are a piece of work. Beautiful! | 01:28 |
| linos | gp5st: IT WORKS! YaY | 01:29 |
| Hudsonkem | congrats | 01:29 |
| linos | gp5st: thank you very much | 01:29 |
| gp5st | linos: to hammer home the point, try it with /home/linos/Foo/bin/Debug/Foo.exe | 01:29 |
| lying_cake | apt-get wants me to run autoremove to remove 151 packages. Am I right in assuming that is in error? | 01:30 |
| gp5st | (or whatever your home dir is) that will run regardless of the dir you're in, but the one that doesn't start with a / will only work in your home dir | 01:30 |
| gp5st | try both in your home dir | 01:30 |
| gp5st | and then "cd Documents" or w/e and then try both | 01:30 |

| k1l | like close the software center when you run apt-get in terminal. and when you apt-get in terminal use sudo | 01:32 |
| thewingman | Ooooooohhhhhhh... | 01:33 |
| thewingman | Software Updater is running. | 01:33 |
| thewingman | Is that why? | 01:33 |
| gp5st | is lsof installed by default? you could lsof /var/lib/dpkg/lock to see the other process | 01:33 |
| gp5st | oh, nvm | 01:33 |
| k1l | thewingman: yes | 01:33 |
| linos | gp5st: it says no such file or directory. should I put mono in front of it all? | 01:33 |
| thewingman | Got it. | 01:33 |
| thewingman | Then now I know why I never had the issue before. | 01:33 |
| lying_cake | apt-get is pushing me to remove a ton of packages with auto-remove (over 150). Am I right in assuming that is an error? | 01:33 |

| Hudsonkem | lying_cake, did u see what r tobe removed? | 01:34 |
| lying_cake | lots of stuff. I'm not really sure what's significant and what isn't. Some stuff pertaining to wine, libmono, etc.. | 01:35 |
| lying_cake | I can drop it into pastebin if anyone is willing to look at it | 01:35 |
| Hudsonkem | lying_cake yeap | 01:36 |
| linos | gp5st: yes that is what I'm seeing on my side | 01:36 |
| Hudsonkem | lying_cake, the warnings of autoremove, just says when u got unlinked packages, but let see it :) | 01:37 |
| lying_cake | http://pastebin.com/Aq7DyxMc Here goes... | 01:37 |
| gp5st | linos: ok, hope that helps understand absolute vs relative paths | 01:38 |
| linos | gp5st: thank you | 01:39 |
| Hudsonkem | lying_cake have u been removed wine? | 01:40 |
| lying_cake | hudsonkem: not recently. But i don't need it anymore. Are those all dependencies of wine? | 01:40 |
| Hudsonkem | lying_cake alot of these yes, u use x64 system? | 01:41 |
| lying_cake | hudsonkem: Yup. | 01:41 |
| Hudsonkem | so its okay | 01:42 |
| Hudsonkem | lying_cake take a copy of it to text file, just in case of disaster lol :P | 01:42 |
| linos | gp5st: I have a crazy question for you. Is it possible for a script to open a new shell and execute a command in there? | 01:43 |
| Hudsonkem | lying_cake but I think its ok to execute "sudo apt-get autoremove" command | 01:43 |
| gp5st | linos: what do you mean "a new shell" and why do you want to do that | 01:43 |
| gp5st | linos: tech `` and $() open subprocesses | 01:43 |
| linos | gp5st: a terminal window | 01:43 |
| Hudsonkem | linos, yes | 01:44 |
| gp5st | linos: yeah, you can. what problem are you trying to solve? | 01:44 |
| linos | well, I have two exe that I'm trying to run and they cannot be running in the same instance of a terminal window. I will need two, but I would like to do it with one script | 01:45 |
| tomek_ | hi anyone can help? | 01:45 |
| gp5st | tomek_: don't ask to ask! | 01:45 |
| gp5st | linos: can you use & to send one command into the background? | 01:45 |
| lying_cake | hudsonkem: ran auto-remove. Computer is still functioning. Thanks :) | 01:46 |
| gp5st | (otherwise you start to be dependent on the terminal emulator or simply that someone has X (e.g. doing what you want won't work on an ssh connection unless you plan ahead) | 01:46 |
| linos | gp5st: I need to interact with both windows | 01:46 |
| Hudsonkem | lyink_cake lol, congrats | 01:46 |
| linos | gp5st: if there is a way I can open a new terminal window from the script and run a command that points to that terminal window, then I'm set | 01:48 |
| gp5st | linos: you could have a new window open. I would suggest you make 2 shell scripts or have your script run one command or the other based on an argument passed to it | 01:48 |
| gp5st | linos: you'd have to call out to the terminal emulator as a command and run it in the background | 01:48 |
| gp5st | which ties you to the emulator | 01:48 |
| linos | gp5st: how would I go about doing that? | 01:49 |
| gp5st | xterm is fairly common, but not pretty:p | 01:49 |
| psusi | linos, if you are in another directory then you need to specify the path to the one where the file actually is | 01:49 |
| gp5st | linos: try this "xterm xev" | 01:49 |
| imthenachoman | hey guys. i have a 2nd HD on my machine that is mounted at /this/that. the group of /this/that is plugdev and has 775. user1 is in plugdev and created folder /this/that/blah. now i want user2 to be able to create a file in /this/that/blah but i am getting permission denied | 01:50 |
| imthenachoman | the folder /this/that has thousands of files/folders so changing the permissions on all of them seems a bit rought | 01:50 |
| imthenachoman | its a samba share also. i'd love to make it so any files created on it, by anyone, are set such that anyone can read/write and if applicable execute | 01:51 |
| psusi | imthenachoman, chmod -R will recursively change permissions on all files and subdirectories of a given point | 01:51 |
| gp5st | imthenachoman: "ls -dl /this/that/blah" | 01:51 |

| neoncontrails | I'm having trouble consolidating what I'm trying to do into a google query, but there must be a simple answer to it... | 02:18 |
| neoncontrails | Can I use a local application to open a file on a server I'm ssh'ed into? How? | 02:19 |
| k1l | neoncontrails: do you mean x forward (ssh -X) or mean like using samba for the file or such? | 02:20 |
| TJ- | !info sshfs | neoncontrails SSH File-system can do so (not via an existing interactive SSH session though) | 02:20 |
| ubottu | neoncontrails SSH File-system can do so (not via an existing interactive SSH session though): sshfs (source: sshfs-fuse): filesystem client based on SSH File Transfer Protocol. In component main, is optional. Version 2.5-1ubuntu1 (vivid), package size 40 kB, installed size 133 kB | 02:20 |
| k1l | fathom: is the right driver installed? | 02:20 |
| neoncontrails | kil: Forgive me. I'm too inexperienced with Unix to understand your question :) | 02:20 |
| k1l | neoncontrails: with ssh -X you can start a program on a server but the window comes up on your local system. but it sounds more like you want sshfs | 02:21 |

| neoncontrails | kil: possibly, yes. If I'm not mistaken, there's a dependency issue with ssh -X on macs I believe? Requires X11-compatible software I think? | 02:24 |

| Metatheon | hello? | 02:39 |
| mssbrg | Why don't people regular `apt` versus `apt-get` or `apt-cache`? | 02:39 |
| mssbrg | *use regular | 02:39 |
| Metatheon | dunno | 02:40 |
| k1l | mssbrg: because its too new. | 02:40 |
| TJ- | mssbrg: tradition, habit | 02:40 |
| mssbrg | Interesting. I myself have been using ubuntu for a few years and it just hadn't occured to me, I was definitely intrenched in habit of apt-get/apt-cache | 02:41 |
| Metatheon | how do i modify an ssid code for my own use? | 02:41 |
| === thomas_ is now known as Guest17390 | ||
| mssbrg | but it seems apt is pretty good *shrug* | 02:41 |
| Metatheon | anyone? | 02:41 |
| === Guest17390 is now known as thomasd | ||
| phoskins | So I'm running a crouton chroot of ubuntu on a chromebook, and I accidentally used up all my disk space by installing texlive 2015. Oops. Is there a way I can delete it from the chrome console? | 02:41 |
| OerHeks | Metatheon, change it in your wifi router | 02:41 |
| Metatheon | is that in the network app? | 02:42 |
| TJ- | mssbrg: One reason is the output format of apt-{get,cache,file} are designed for scripts and therefore predictable, whereas apt is liable to change | 02:42 |
| k1l | mssbrg: apt got stable just one year ago, iirc. so before it was adviced to use apt-get. and since that still works and the old howtos are all out there that change takes some time | 02:42 |
| OerHeks | Metatheon, no, change the ssid in your wifi router first, then your client | 02:43 |
| Metatheon | oh gotcha, Not too possible, i cant connect to my university wifi | 02:43 |
| Metatheon | i looked it up and other people had the same problem | 02:44 |
| Metatheon | they said to run these- | 02:44 |
| Metatheon | cd /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections sudo touch SSID #SSID is the name of the profile, e.g. eduroam sudo nano SSID | 02:44 |
| Metatheon | and modify my ssid there | 02:44 |
| TJ- | Metatheon: that doesn't sound quite correct. "/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/" is the directory where all the system-wide network connections are stored, in text files, one per connection | 02:45 |
| linos | what is the simplest way to run a execute a command that contains parameters within a script | 02:45 |
| mssbrg | k1l: is apt officially recommended then? | 02:45 |
| TJ- | Metatheon: But, the GUI provides a connection editor where the SSID/BSSID can be edited | 02:46 |
| k1l | mssbrg: standard tool for cli is still apt-get. | 02:46 |
| Metatheon | TJ, where is it? | 02:47 |
| mssbrg | k1l: hm, despite apt's 'stability'? not arguing, just seems odd. | 02:48 |
| TJ- | Metatheon: It should be accessed via the task-bar network icon. On Gnome-based systems the program is 'nmapplet' | 02:48 |
| Metatheon | TJ: thanks ill look at it | 02:48 |
| k1l | mssbrg: then propose it to replace apt-get :) | 02:48 |
| mssbrg | k1l: i think i'll just start using and enjoying it instead, seems easier :) | 02:50 |
| TJ- | mssbrg: 'apt' cannot do several popular tasks the other tools can | 02:50 |

| linos | Hello, how can I run a command within a script that has parameters? | 02:54 |
| TJ- | linos: your question is unclear. Do you mean: Within a shell script, how to run a command that takes parameters? If so simply: "[/path/to/]command param1 "param 2 with spaces" param3 " | 02:56 |
| linos | TJ-:the contrary | 02:56 |
| linos | I have a command inside the script that I'm running and it call an exe that take parameters | 02:57 |
| mssbrg | TJ-: i should have expected :) any examples? | 02:57 |
| TJ- | mssbrg: 'purge' --no-install-recommends | 02:57 |
| linos | TJ-: for example mono Foo/bin/Debug/Foo.exe -a bob -d 1000.00 | 02:58 |
| linos | TJ-: tje parameters after Foo.exe are required | 02:58 |
| TJ- | linos: The commands in a script are written identically to how you'd write them on the shell command-line | 02:58 |
| mssbrg | TJ-: i'm actualy not familiar with purge, what man page should I read? | 02:59 |
| linos | TJ: I'm having he same problem when I try to run it manually inside a terminal window | 02:59 |
| TJ- | mssbrg: "man apt-get" (it purges package configuration files (e.g. from /etc/) | 02:59 |
| TJ- | linos: what is the exact error message you get? | 02:59 |

| netman87 | hello. im looking for choise of text editor. so can someone help me little? | 03:00 |
| mssbrg | netman87: if you aren't sure, sublime text is very popular | 03:01 |
| TJ- | linos: That sounds like an issue with the program you're running. Are you sure it takes the arguments prefixed by a hyphen? If the program is originally from Windows it might take the '/' as the argument prefix. | 03:01 |
| linos | mssbrg: this is what I'm typing... mono Foo/bin/Debug/Foo.exe -a bob -d 1000.00 | 03:01 |
| netman87 | so X = graphical, no vi/vim, minimal or configurable layout (menu,buttons... i dont want them to be on way, line numbers, coloring php,perl,python,c,c++ and so on... main purpose will be programming | 03:01 |
| linos | TJ-: 100% sure | 03:01 |
| TJ- | linos: Best to check with the mono executable then; it probably isn't passing them to the sub-process | 03:02 |
| linos | TJ-: when I run the command from the Debug directory, it run perfectly. | 03:02 |
| netman87 | used to use gedit on linux and notepad++ on windows | 03:02 |
| netman87 | mssbrg, its not free :/ and it doesnt feel really too nice... maybe but atleast not before next month as im having money problems atm | 03:02 |

| cfhowlett | RepThis1, one would think so, but I am completely out of my element on that issue. perhaps #ubuntu-server can advise?? | 04:18 |
| RepThis1 | cfhowlett: i mean i would partially agree with you on the bios because there is no option in its firmware revision, odd though that it can still work. | 04:19 |

| uny | is there any way I can go from ubuntu 15.04 to 14.04 LTS , i don't want to keep udating my system every while ? | 04:23 |
| reisio | so don't | 04:24 |
| delt | Hello | 04:25 |
| Bashing-om | uny: Release 14.04 is the long term support release - support 'til April 2019 . To switch to 14.04 from 15.04 will require a fresh install of 14.04 . | 04:25 |
| delt | what packages do i need to compile stuff that uses GtkGLArea ? | 04:25 |
| uny | <Bashing-om : Oh No | 04:25 |
| uny | Bashing-om: a fresh install ? | 04:26 |
| delt | (gtk3) | 04:26 |
| delt | just adding #include <gtkgl/gtkglarea.h> to the relevant .c file gives a ton of errors | 04:27 |
| Bashing-om | uny: Else; ya can upgrade to 15.10 soon, then when the next LTS is release up[grade to 16.04 ( April 2016) . | 04:27 |
| uny | Bashing-om :isn't there a way to downgrade ? | 04:27 |
| cfhowlett | uny, no. | 04:27 |
| genii | !downgrade | 04:27 |
| ubottu | Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. | 04:27 |
| smacktalk | im having trouble getting my avermedia tv tuner usb stick to work. How do i know if the system recognizes it? | 04:28 |
| uny | Bashing-om ; does it effect my system if i stopped installing the updates i get ? | 04:28 |
| smacktalk | anyone know how to make hexchat have a longer scrollback? | 04:29 |
| Bashing-om | uny: Are you trolling ? You know that is not a wise thing to do .. Aways keep the system updated . | 04:29 |
| uny | Bashing-om : so i need a fresh install to get long support , and get rid of the annoying updates ? | 04:32 |
| cfhowlett | even LTS gets updates, uny. | 04:32 |
| wileee | smacktalk, settings-preferences-logging | 04:33 |
| uny | cfhowlett : so what is the difference basically then .? | 04:33 |
| cfhowlett | uny, LONG TERM support. 3 years. not 9 months. | 04:34 |
| reisio | one encourages you to not update | 04:34 |
| reisio | for ages and ages | 04:34 |
| reisio | like a caveman :) | 04:34 |
| uny | cfhowlett ; means , it you just have to install updates for 3 years without upgrade instead of 9 months ? | 04:35 |
| cfhowlett | correct | 04:35 |
| reisio | not that you ever _have to_ update | 04:35 |
| wileee | not that there's anything wrong with that | 04:36 |
| cfhowlett | you do realize those udpates are for the safety, security and functioning of your OS, right? So if you don't care about security or functionality, feel free to disregard update advisorys. WHEN you get breached or broken, do not ask for support. | 04:36 |

| reisio | qwebirc74229: school kids? | 04:37 |

| Bashing-om | !latest | xfcemofo | 04:39 |
| ubottu | xfcemofo: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 04:39 |

| ubottu | niee: !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu. | 04:50 |

| wileee | niee, no problem. | 04:52 |
| niee | wileee possible to install 2 or more flavors | 04:55 |
| cfhowlett | niee, yes. but better to install only the desktop environment? test them, choose one you like | 04:55 |
| cfhowlett | niee, sudo apt intall lxde gnome-shell kde-plasma xfce4 | 04:56 |
| cfhowlett | then logout/choose DE session/login | 04:56 |

| huscurian | Is there a way to delete any unnecessary cache from the Internet on Ubuntu? | 05:07 |
| huscurian | And more specifically, is there a program that's akin to defragmenter for Ubuntu? | 05:08 |
| somsip | !defrag | huscurian | 05:08 |
| ubottu | huscurian: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext4) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. | 05:08 |
| huscurian | somsip | the link provided is dead. Mods should change that link | 05:09 |

| jotterbot | hey all, is there a way to clone a boot disk whilst ubuntu is running to another hdd, so that I can then boot off that | 05:20 |
| yerm | oh... i'm sorry | 05:20 |
| somsip | !clone | jotterbot | 05:20 |
| ubottu | jotterbot: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can use the !software package "apt-clone" - See also !automate | 05:20 |
| somsip | jotterbot: bad factoid. Look for clonezilla for copying disks | 05:20 |
| somsip | !info clonezilla | jotterbot | 05:20 |
| ubottu | jotterbot: clonezilla (source: clonezilla): bare metal backup and recovery of disk drives. In component universe, is extra. Version 3.10.11-1 (vivid), package size 678 kB, installed size 2624 kB | 05:21 |
| jotterbot | i am aware of something like clonezilla, and "dd", but I wish to be able to leave the system running whilst it clones | 05:21 |
| somsip | jotterbot: what filesystem is it running? | 05:21 |
| jotterbot | ext4 | 05:21 |
| delt | Bashing-om: thanks | 05:21 |
| somsip | jotterbot: I don't believe that supports snapshotting in the way it needs to for what you want | 05:21 |
| neoncontrails | I think I successfully configured sshfs to mount my Ubuntu server (via OSXFUSE), but I notice "sudo sshfs root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/ /mnt/droplet" loads those droplet contents as hidden files. Is there a good reason for this? | 05:22 |
| jotterbot | I am used to using something like "SuperDuper!" for OSX. It allows a bootable disk creation whilst the machine is running | 05:22 |
| jotterbot | somsip: no I don't think it does. I have heard of something like using dd to output a disk over the network. Or just straight up cloning a drive | 05:23 |
| somsip | jotterbot: general search results suggest that you will only get non-atomic snapshots from ext4 so are not guaranteed a perfect copy which might cause problems | 05:23 |
| jotterbot | is there a way to temporarily mount the root filesystem readonly, run a clone, then remount R/W | 05:23 |
| somsip | jotterbot: this may change if you use LVM - do you? | 05:24 |
| somsip | jotterbot: you cant unmount a filesystem that is in use. You'd need to boot to another medium | 05:24 |
| jotterbot | okay, understood, thanks somsip | 05:26 |

| neoncontrails | To clarify my question earlier, by 'hidden' I mean those sshfs-mounted files appear to be invisible to Finder even after toggling my AppleShowAllFiles flag to true. Is there a way to get around this, or does sshfs require you to open mounted files from terminal directly? | 05:36 |

| _Jay_ | Hello i have a asus k550ln laptop and every time i use the nvidia drivers form ubuntus driver options X breaks | 06:10 |
| indistylo | sjoshi, Sure Gentlemen | 06:11 |
| _Jay_ | its a geforce 840m/intel hybrid graphis | 06:11 |
| lotuspsychje | _Jay_: is it an optimus card? | 06:11 |
| _Jay_ | geforce 840m / intel hybrid | 06:12 |
| lotuspsychje | _Jay_: for optimus cards you need the package nvidia-prime | 06:12 |
| lotuspsychje | !info nvidia-prime | _Jay_ | 06:12 |
| ubottu | _Jay_: nvidia-prime (source: nvidia-prime): Tools to enable NVIDIA's Prime. In component main, is optional. Version 0.8.1 (vivid), package size 10 kB, installed size 114 kB (Only available for i386; amd64) | 06:12 |
| _Jay_ | is my card a optimus? | 06:13 |
| lotuspsychje | _Jay_: yes | 06:13 |
| lotuspsychje | _Jay_: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-840m | 06:13 |
| lotuspsychje | _Jay_: after installing nvidia-prime you need to enable performance mode in nvidia-settings | 06:13 |
| lotuspsychje | _Jay_: combined with the best working driver for your system also | 06:14 |
| _Jay_ | do you know witch is the best version for 840m? 346.xx | 06:15 |
| _Jay_ | ??? | 06:15 |
| lotuspsychje | _Jay_: ive seen 346 + nvidia-prime working good on some users | 06:15 |
| _Jay_ | shoudl i ust do a apt-get nvidia-prime | 06:15 |
| _Jay_ | should i just* | 06:16 |
| lotuspsychje | _Jay_: but best way is to install nvidia-prime and test out drivers from list yourself | 06:16 |
| lotuspsychje | _Jay_: yes, sudo apt-get install nvidia-prime | 06:16 |
| _Jay_ | i hate the testing part becasuse if it breaks the only way know to fix is a reinstall | 06:16 |
| _Jay_ | is there a faster fix way if drivers dont work? | 06:17 |
| lotuspsychje | !recovery | _Jay_ if things go wrong | 06:17 |
| ubottu | _Jay_ if things go wrong: If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode | 06:17 |
| lotuspsychje | _Jay_: in the recoverymode you can mostly enter 'fix broken packages' option to the rescue | 06:17 |
| lotuspsychje | _Jay_: or terminal and purge non-working drivers | 06:18 |
| _Jay_ | so im installing just the nvidia-prime with dep now, after i go in software and updates and select the best looking drivers available of install via terminal? | 06:19 |
| _Jay_ | or install* | 06:19 |
| lotuspsychje | _Jay_: if you have GUI, try drivers from additional drivers list | 06:20 |
| _Jay_ | what does tested beside drivers mean beside the obvious that there tested but for what? system like mine or for ubuntu? | 06:21 |
| lotuspsychje | _Jay_: for ubuntu | 06:22 |
| _Jay_ | then a good idea to start with that one? | 06:23 |
| lotuspsychje | _Jay_: its hard to say mate, every card/system reacts different | 06:24 |
| lotuspsychje | _Jay_: select/test/reboot and good luck to you! | 06:24 |
| lotuspsychje | _Jay_: and dont forget to enable performance mode right | 06:24 |
| === Malsasa_ is now known as Malsasa | ||
| _Jay_ | ok so just to make sure before i apply this if x breaks just fix broken package in recovery? | 06:25 |
| _Jay_ | its a automatic fix? | 06:25 |
| lotuspsychje | _Jay_: not always, but it can do some rescue in soem cases yes | 06:25 |
| lotuspsychje | _Jay_: you can also start a terminal from recoverymode and purge that driver | 06:26 |
| _Jay_ | ok worst case if that doesnt work and stuck mid boot? | 06:26 |
| _Jay_ | that would work | 06:26 |
| andrewjs18 | hi all, is there a layer 7 filtering module for iptables? | 06:26 |
| lotuspsychje | _Jay_: worst cases we had users will total black screen, non able to rescue mode | 06:26 |

| andrewjs18 | lotuspsychje, possibly. I just asked in the ##linux channel..no replies yet | 06:27 |
| _Jay_ | so reinstall at that point/ and in terminal apt-get purge nvidia-current or is it nvidia* | 06:27 |
| lotuspsychje | _Jay_: wich ubuntu version please? | 06:27 |
| _Jay_ | 104.04 | 06:28 |
| _Jay_ | 14.04* | 06:28 |
| lotuspsychje | ok | 06:28 |
| lotuspsychje | !info nvidia-current | _Jay_ | 06:29 |

| _Jay_ | but tested says 346,96 | 06:29 |
| lotuspsychje | _Jay_: yep depends on wich driver you installed | 06:30 |
| _Jay_ | does current mean what i have installed in apt-get or 304? | 06:30 |
| lotuspsychje | _Jay_: did you install 14.04 with cable + updates during setup? | 06:30 |
| _Jay_ | yes | 06:30 |
| _Jay_ | well wifi | 06:30 |
| lotuspsychje | _Jay_: wich driver did ubuntu choose by default | 06:30 |

| Silex | baizon: is there an easy "env var" way to change that or do I really have to edit sources.list etc? | 07:54 |
| Silex | baizon: it's for a build system | 07:54 |

| rutu | hi, hope you do fine. i was wondering if somebody of you know how to reset the menu in ubuntu-15.10. the "shutdown" entry disappeared. | 08:19 |
| DJOnes | rutu: Its probably best to ask that in #ubuntu+1 That'll be the support channel for 5.10 until its released as a final version, the people there are more likely to know if there's an issue | 08:21 |
| baizon | rutu: unity --reset | 08:23 |
| baizon | rutu: else http://askubuntu.com/questions/17610/how-do-i-reset-my-unity-configuration | 08:24 |

| pitiye | can any one teach me how to increase screen brightness in Lubuntu 15.04 ? | 09:27 |
| bhanz | what steps should be taken in order to determine performance issue apart from using system utilities ? any suggestion ? | 09:28 |
| vape | pitiye: There is a program called xbacklight that you can install via apt-get, and it allows you to change brightness with a simple interface through the command line. | 09:30 |
| vape | pitiye: sudo apt-get install xbacklight | 09:30 |
| vape | pitiye: xbacklight -set 100 | 09:30 |
| pitiye | vape: i did with xbacklight -set 70 | 09:30 |
| vape | OK well it's out of 100, so 70 would be 70% brightness | 09:31 |
| vape | so if you want to make it brighter, use a number between 70 and 100 | 09:31 |

| ubuntuspa | dear friends and fellows, happy new day, lets get started. just another issue to solve: booting xubuntu-live-usb fails. the reason is a unetbootin problem, there is some library modules missing that I need to add. Got the answer and workaround on this website: https://bugs.launchpad.net/tuxboot/+bug/1190256 now the question: as I don't have any ubu | 10:25 |
| ubuntuspa | ntu on my computers installed, do you have any ideas where I could find these files to copy them to my live-usb? | 10:25 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1190256 in usb-creator (Ubuntu) "USB drive is created successfully, but fails to boot" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 10:25 |

| globalimport | how do you get the help menu to display in kismet? I read the manual and it said press "h", that is not doing anything for me from the main client screen. Also tried looking through the menus and can't find it. Also I found reference on a website and in the manual to kismet's ability to show a network's location, I even found a screenshot of a compass with an arrow showing estimated direction, but I can't find it anywhere in | 10:28 |
| globalimport | the menus. Any suggestions? There's no activity on #kismet, so apoligies for being a bit off topic but hopefully someone here knows? | 10:28 |
| freeroute | ubuntuspa: if you're on a linux system already, just plug in a USB stick that you can overwrite, and then do something like `dd if=/path/to/xubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdX` | 10:29 |
| ubuntuspa | freeroute: ok so need to download xubuntu again and then not use unetbootin? :) thanks. | 10:29 |
| freeroute | but be sure to get the paths right, because dd is a dangerous tool | 10:29 |
| freeroute | you don't have to download it again if you already have the downloaded iso image. | 10:30 |
| ubuntuspa | thats why I prefer to use unetbootin. but I will be careful and there will be no damage at all | 10:30 |
| kanupatar | rory: crwxrwxrwx. 1 root dialout 188, 0 Oct 6 15:40 /dev/ttyUSB0 | 10:31 |

| oddRevan | I actually installed Debian, but I'm sure they're similar enough | 11:19 |
| oddRevan | k1l: sdb1, checked with fsck | 11:20 |
| k1l | so ask debian if they have hybrid isos (needed for dd to work with the iso). and sdb1 is the issue here. you need to ss it to bare metal, not to partitions. | 11:20 |

| knob | Twirl, do you have the latests libreOffice updates? | 11:52 |
| knob | Alternatively, ask the person (if possible), to save it as a .odf (Open Document Format). | 11:52 |
| Twirl | knob: i guess, i always update all the software i have installed | 11:52 |
| Twirl | knob: that is not possible | 11:52 |

| knob | Twirl, did you try ioria's suggestion? | 11:57 |
| Twirl | im onto it | 11:57 |

| antoon | I googled it and found: "sudo lshw -C network", knob, heh | 11:58 |
| knob | antoon, nice. Thanks! | 11:59 |
| knob | Twirl, ok ok... so it's opening with Calc staright up. | 11:59 |
| ioria | Twirl, are you 14.04 ? | 11:59 |
| knob | And not "import options" when the file is going to open? | 11:59 |
| Twirl | 15.04 | 11:59 |
| Twirl | knob: nope it just opens the file | 12:01 |
| knob | Man, I am at a loss... last resource (for me), would be to open it up in Excel, save as odf, then open in LibreOffice | 12:01 |
| ioria | Twirl, it's possible that it contains some macros, that can be used only in MS, as far as i know | 12:02 |

| allizom | you could try one of these online document converter | 12:04 |

| Twirl | k1l: that is not easy, that is impossible :P | 12:05 |
| allizom | Twirl: first result: https://cloudconvert.com/ods-to-xlsx or anything that works | 12:05 |
| Twirl | mcphail: im not going to add anything to wine, i dont like it, if it comes to that i would just boot into windows and deal with it | 12:06 |

| BluesKaj | Hi folks | 12:19 |
| ioria | Twirl, you can try with gnumeric (in the repo) and convert in cvs with the command ssconvert file.xlsx newfile.csv | 12:19 |
| gardar | Twirl: yeah well I do a lot of business with partners that use microsoft products, so WPS has become my primary office suite, it's really compatible with microsoft office formats | 12:20 |
| gardar | but to each his own | 12:20 |
| gardar | and it's not like software can't be uninstalled :) | 12:20 |
| Twirl | ioria: that will probably look the same as the online converter | 12:21 |

| NovaKittyCatMeow | I'm trying to get an Edimax N150 (ew-7811un) USB wifi adapter working reliably. It seems to not work after I suspend. Ubuntu supports this device out of the box, or it's supposed to. I tried the driver from Edimax too but it won't compile. I'm tempted to try the driver from https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes, as alot of comments in forums indicate that it works. Has anyone been through all this before? | 12:22 |
| Twirl | well, tried dochub and it says the file contains errors, maybe its corrupted or something | 12:25 |
| ioria | Twirl, have you tried this ? https://online2pdf.com/convert-xlsx-to-pdf | 12:27 |
| Twirl | ioria: :O | 12:30 |
| Twirl | that fixed it | 12:30 |
| ioria | Twirl, good | 12:30 |
| Twirl | ty | 12:30 |
| ioria | NovaKittyCatMeow, at least this pvaret compiles . .. . last part http://askubuntu.com/questions/509498/is-there-a-standard-wifi-driver-for-the-edimax-ew-7811un | 12:31 |
| ioria | Twirl, np | 12:31 |
| NovaKittyCatMeow | iroia, Yes it does seem to work. I'm trying it on a VM to test right now. What I'm wondering is will I be unable to update linux kernels without breaking the driver? | 12:34 |
| ioria | NovaKittyCatMeow, with dkms it should .... if not, you recompile | 12:35 |
| NovaKittyCatMeow | My problem is this is a friends computer I'm fixing up, and this friend has no idea what linux is. I was hoping to keep it really noob friendly. Is locking the kernel version a resonable option or is that a bad idea? | 12:37 |
| ioria | NovaKittyCatMeow, just write a script with the compile commands ... put it on the Desktop with a label "if WFI not working after an update" :_) | 12:38 |
| NovaKittyCatMeow | ioria, hmm that sounds like a good idea....would it just be the "sudo dkms install 8192cu/1.10" and "sudo depmod -a" parts? | 12:41 |
| Guest6583 | exit | 12:42 |
| Guest6583 | exit | 12:42 |
| Guest6583 | exit | 12:42 |
| ioria | NovaKittyCatMeow, all of them... i guess, remember to cd in the proper directory and the beginning of the script | 12:42 |
| Guest6583 | help | 12:43 |
| Guest6583 | cd | 12:43 |
| mcphail | Guest6583: /exit | 12:43 |
| Guest6583 | 3q | 12:43 |
| ioria | NovaKittyCatMeow, without the first two commands, i mean | 12:43 |
| NovaKittyCatMeow | ioria, you mean i can skip re cloning the source and running "sudo dkms add ./rtl8192cu-fixes"? | 12:44 |
| ioria | NovaKittyCatMeow, yes, you don't need the clone anymore | 12:44 |
| NovaKittyCatMeow | good...I was worried if the version changed again...the compile command would have to change too | 12:45 |
| ioria | NovaKittyCatMeow, no | 12:46 |
| joel__ | k | 12:47 |
| NovaKittyCatMeow | ioria, what i mean is the commands suggested at http://askubuntu.com/questions/509498/is-there-a-standard-wifi-driver-for-the-edimax-ew-7811un (at the end) no longer work because the version has changed from 1.9 to 1.10. | 12:48 |
| NovaKittyCatMeow | thanks for the advice ioria! | 12:49 |
| ioria | NovaKittyCatMeow, no, i mean the last part of the page... | 12:50 |
| ioria | NovaKittyCatMeow, where you see "With an ethernet connection do:" | 12:50 |
| === Turnip_Green1 is now known as Turnip_Green | ||
| === Tsunami is now known as Guest49672 | ||
| NovaKittyCatMeow | iroia, yes thats what i mean..the command "sudo dkms install 8192cu/1.9" is no longer valid after "git clone https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes.git", it should be "sudo dkms install 8192cu/1.10" now. So if I were to put it all in a script and 1.11 came along the script would break. | 12:56 |
| maximusfl_ | Any other tool besides top to figure put what process is using cpu | 12:57 |
| NovaKittyCatMeow | iroia: so not pulling the code again would be preferable | 12:57 |
| maximusfl_ | I am looking for a command line tool | 12:57 |
| ioria | NovaKittyCatMeow, oh... i got it.... yes, good idea | 12:57 |
| NovaKittyCatMeow | maximusfl_: I like htop | 12:57 |
| SCHAAP137 | maximusfl_: i like htop | 12:58 |
| maximusfl_ | thanks I will check it out | 12:58 |
| SCHAAP137 | very similar to top | 12:58 |
| NovaKittyCatMeow | we both like htop | 12:58 |
| SCHAAP137 | there is no life without htop | 12:59 |
| maximusfl_ | I have a process that spikes the cpu to 100% very quickly, but top seems not to catch it before it goes back down to 3% | 13:00 |
| SCHAAP137 | maximusfl_: you can use the -d option to set the screen update interval / delay time | 13:00 |
| SCHAAP137 | it takes a value in the form of x.x seconds | 13:01 |
| maximusfl_ | _d option for htop? | 13:02 |

| JOW | Hello guys! I wanna connect to a printer here. | 14:53 |
| JOW | It prints by wifi | 14:53 |
| JOW | How do I do it?!?! | 14:53 |
| pbx | JOW, what have you tried? | 14:53 |
| pbx | JOW, step 1 is to get the printer on your network. | 14:53 |
| TJ- | JOW: http://localhost:631 is the CUPS admin interface. Your user will need to be in the 'lpadmin' group to add a new network printer | 14:53 |
| JOW | pbx have tried add a printer and search for it's name | 14:53 |
| serard | Hello | 14:54 |
| pavan | t | 14:54 |
| serard | Anyone is using unison ? | 14:54 |
| pbx | JOW, is the printer connected to your network? | 14:54 |
| JOW | I'll enter on localhost:631 pbx TJ- | 14:54 |
| pbx | JOW, is the printer connected to your network? | 14:55 |
| k1l_ | serard: i bet some do. | 14:55 |

| cfhowlett | serard, https://inkscape.org/media/cms_page_media/56/ask-smart-questions.pdf | 14:55 |
| JOW | I can print on it when I'm at windows pbx | 14:55 |
| TJ- | JOW: Auto-discovery depends on a lot of variables which you may not have control of on the network, so you may need to manually provide the Printer's IP address and printing interface protocol | 14:55 |
| serard | Oups, sorry... | 14:55 |
| k1l_ | serard: basically, unison is 2-way rsync. but what is your issue? | 14:56 |
| serard | I'm using unison. It quits after sync, but I want it to wait for new changes to re-sync auto. Anyone knows ? Or should I use inotifywait ? | 14:56 |
| cfhowlett | sdjaio, go into your /home and delete all .hidden files and folders. note: this is the nuclear option and it WILL remove all settings and configs you stored. be sure. be very sure. then: logout, login | 14:56 |
| pbx | JOW, i think this should work: Printers > Add > Network Printer > Find Network Printer... and wait | 14:57 |
| pbx | at least it worked for both my wifi printers | 14:57 |
| sdjaio | cfhowlett, I compiled some source files that installed stuffs in directories like /usr/lib/bin etc. | 14:58 |
| JOW | pbx TJ- I'll need to go now. thank you though. I might come back later | 14:58 |
| sdjaio | I think I need more than removing /home | 14:58 |
| cfhowlett | sdjaio, sorry, then. above my pay grade | 14:58 |
| k1l_ | serard: i think inotify is the proper way. or you go for a cronjob | 14:58 |
| serard | ah ok I thought unison would keep on waiting for.. | 14:59 |
| TJ- | sdjaio: if the manually built package used "make install" it should have also "make uninstall" | 14:59 |
| cfhowlett | sdjaio, iirc there is a dpkg command to reconfigure your entire system | 14:59 |
| TJ- | sdjaio: if that package over-wrote existing files from Ubuntu packages, you would need to identify the package(s) that own those files and do "apt-get --reinstall install <package>" for each | 15:00 |
| sdjaio | I guess you don't remember it, right? | 15:00 |
| serard | thank you k1l_ | 15:00 |
| cfhowlett | sdjaio, http://man.he.net/man8/dpkg-reconfigure | 15:00 |
| xmj | moin | 15:01 |
| sdjaio | I guess I will just reformat it | 15:01 |
| xmj | with mailx, where do i find a list of permissible debug levels? | 15:01 |
| TJ- | sdjaio: "dpkg --configure -a" will reconfigure all packages (re-write their configs under /etc/) but it won't fix issues with library or other files that have been changed | 15:01 |

| NovaKittyCatMeow | i want to make a script that runs some commands as the current user, and some commands as root. Since using sudo in a script isnt viable, running the whole script with sudo is recommended.

| |TheWolf| | Hi! I was entrusted with updating a 14.04 server. When checking out the environment, I discovered that for some reason the server runs legacy grub. When running apt --installed list, I get the following line: grub-common/trusty,now 2.02~beta2-9 amd64 [installed,upgradable to: 2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1.3]. Does this mean a simple apt-get upgrade will update to Grub2? | 16:01 |

| ubottu | blah-: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea.

See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 16:09 |
| k1l_ | blah-: if you want gnome 3.18 better go for ubuntu 15.04 or ubuntu 15.10. since a install of gnome 3.18 will need to replace that much libs and gnome stuff, it will be not LTS anyway | 16:11 |

| justme_ | julian-delphiki ; what should i do , and what are the risks ? | 17:29 |
| redixin | julian-delphiki, it was commented out previously, and it was the same. | 17:29 |
| k1l_ | redixin: there was a security update on so that seems to interfer with the regulkar package | 17:29 |
| justme_ | julian-delphiki ; could it be caused because i used the testdisk recovery program on the harddrive from the same computer ? | 17:30 |
| julian-delphiki | justme_: probably. I'd reboot if you can... | 17:31 |

| Tripp | I'm using an amd radeon graphic card, and I have instaled the catalyst control center | 19:52 |
| Tripp | there is no option to enable the triple buffering there, and the internet told me to use the xorg.conf archive, but it does not exist, nor I can create it through X -configure | 19:53 |
| Ben64 | Tripp: explain what you mean by cursor lag | 19:53 |
| Tripp | the main reason being that there seems to be a problem with my console mode, as I get a black screen, but I have also read that using xorg is not that good of an idea, so I'm back to the beginning | 19:53 |
| Tripp | I move the mouse, and the cursor takes a bit to follow | 19:54 |
| Tripp | enough to make a gathering game like hafen unplayable | 19:54 |
| Ben64 | triple buffering will make it worse | 19:54 |
| Tripp | I have been told the opposite, that it's used exactly for that | 19:54 |
| Ben64 | it adds an extra frame of buffer, so you'd have an additional frame delay | 19:55 |
| Tripp | well then I don't know what can I do to solve it | 19:55 |
| Ben64 | maybe the game has mouse acceleration on | 19:55 |
| Tripp | I do know that back when I have windows 8.1 I had no problem with it | 19:55 |
| Ben64 | or your system does | 19:55 |
| Tripp | uhm the game has no such option, as there was no problem back on windows | 19:56 |

| k1l_ | neoaf: did you install a ppa or 3rd party package? | 20:36 |
| k1l_ | neoaf: that sounds like you used a 15.04 or 15.10 package, right? | 20:36 |
| echostar777 | alright so my problem is starting from the sound card. for some odd reason its not showing up at all. | 20:37 |
| neoaf | it says wily, I don't know what version it is | 20:37 |
| OerHeks | neoaf, according to this page, http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/trusty/marble this 'marble' uses libmarblewidget18 | 20:37 |
| OerHeks | no QT5 | 20:37 |
| neoaf | I don't know my it complains about qt5-22. I installed 18 pne | 20:38 |
| k1l_ | neoaf: well, you cant mix the packages. like 15.04 uses kde5. | 20:38 |
| k1l_ | neoaf: wily is 15.10 | 20:39 |
| auronandace | neoaf: you'll very likely run into dependencyissues that way | 20:39 |
| auronandace | neoaf: that is why package managers and repos exist | 20:39 |
| k1l_ | neoaf: so you installed a wrong package (even a beta package) onto the 14.04. | 20:39 |
| neoaf | I checked that I have all dependt packages | 20:39 |
| k1l_ | neoaf: no you dont. | 20:40 |
| echostar777 | im having issues with my sound. ubuntu studio isnt seeing my 1.4 internal realtek sound card. | 20:41 |
| auronandace | !sound | echostar777 | 20:42 |
| root_explorer | what up | 20:42 |
| neoaf | yes it gets dependcy problem | 20:43 |
| echostar777 | auronandace can you assist? | 20:43 |
| auronandace | echostar777: not sure what's up with ubottu: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems | 20:43 |
| k1l_ | neoaf: ok: dont install 15.10 packages into 14.04. then you dont have depency problems | 20:43 |
| neoaf | I follow the instructions on https://marble.kde.org/sources.php at two PC that has 14.04 | 20:44 |
| neoaf | one works fine, the other one gets libmarblewidget-qt5.so.22: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory error | 20:44 |
| neoaf | hmm actually it has 15.04 | 20:45 |
| neoaf | how can I upgrade 14.04 to 15.04? | 20:45 |
| OerHeks | neoaf, if you really want to upgrade 14.04 > 14.10 (EOL) > 15.04, you will need the old-releases trick. see !eolupgrade | 20:46 |
| OerHeks | !eolupgrade | 20:46 |
| OerHeks | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 20:47 |
| k1l_ | neoaf: better ask in #kubuntu since they know better about the kde stuff | 20:47 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 20:47 |

| dupolas_ | (yes back) | 21:18 |
| OerHeks | kuindios, softwarecenter, or install synaptic | 21:18 |

| OerHeks | kuindios, the Ubuntu way is apt://<packagename> | 21:22 |
| dupolas_ | k1l_ : aha... I see... any idea how to get ppa-purge installed with apt-get install throwing errors at me? | 21:23 |
| k1l_ | dupolas_: well. you could try "sudo apt-get -f install" | 21:23 |
| kuindios | I want to install any application just double click | 21:24 |
| OerHeks | kuindios, use softwarecenter :-) | 21:25 |

| roggo | i installed a newer version of qt, how do i change the version that is used if you write qtcreator in the shell? | 21:25 |
| wileee | kuindios, apt has it's advantages, when you install you see what is actually going on including dependencies, and when it is over, a bit more in some ways. | 21:26 |

| echostar777_ | a tip for you, good luck. | 21:33 |

| k1l_ | dupolas_: ok, use the system-settings, software and updates, 2nd tab, to disable the boost ppa. | 21:34 |
| bprompt | aotea: did you say it made a .deb? | 21:34 |
| bprompt | aotea: if you have a .deb from the compiled package, you could just do a -> dpkg -c FILENAME.deb <-- to see what files and where it installed | 21:35 |
| dupolas_ | k1l_: terminal alternative available for that too maybe? (have to dig for some mouse/keyboards to get to my nuc and tv :) ) | 21:36 |
| wileee | skwishy, If you find the model you need, get it and have problems we will help. We will see websites needing any special install instructs if there mis no load and run available. | 21:37 |
| k1l_ | dupolas_: erm wait, i cant remember if that is the right way for 12.04. if not use a "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/boost-latest-ppa-precise.list" and make a # in front of the repo there. then ctrl+o, ctrl+x | 21:37 |
| echostar777_ | just filed a bug report on the no audio issue. is their anything else i can do to fix the no audio driver issue or do i just wait for the developers to fix it? | 21:37 |
| wileee | is* | 21:37 |
| k1l_ | dupolas_: after that: sudo apt-get update&& sudo apt-get autoremove | 21:37 |
| aotea | bprompt: Yes it made a .deb. And I ran apt-get to install it using "apt-get install -f" and "apt-get install myprog" | 21:38 |
| dupolas_ | k1l_ gonna try tnx | 21:38 |
| bprompt | aotea: k, then just do a "dpkg -c" on it then | 21:38 |

| TJ- | aotea: installing a package.deb file requires "dpkg -i package.deb". "apt-get install" will install from the repositories listed in the apt sources.list | 21:43 |
| k1l_ | dupolas_: sudo apt-get purge libboost1.55-tools-dev | 21:43 |
| aotea | TJ-: ok sorry, I forgot to mention that part, but yes that happened before the apt-gets | 21:44 |
| TJ- | aotea: "apt-cache policy package" will tell which versions are installed/available | 21:44 |
| bprompt | aotea: hmmm dpkg -c works for me :/ | 21:44 |
| TJ- | aotea: Then "dpkg -L package" will list the installed files | 21:44 |
| dupolas_ | k1l_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12699635/ | 21:45 |
| TJ- | aotea: your shell script doesn't appear to create "debian/changelog" (which contains the version info) | 21:46 |
| aotea | TJ-: can it be that I failed at .deb format, my .deb is got some capital letters in it. Just remember the 'guide' telling me .deb usually keeps it lowercase all the way | 21:48 |
| TJ- | aotea: I'd think a missing debian/changelog is going to cause some issues because the version declared there is used in building and naming the .deb file | 21:49 |
| aotea | TJ-: Seeing as when I try running "dpkg -L Package" I get "package is not installed". Wouldn't that have thrown me errors when trying to build? | 21:50 |
| TJ- | aotea: "dpkg-deb --raw-extract <archive> <directory>" will extract both trees (DEBIAN and file-system) from a .deb | 21:51 |
| TJ- | aotea: if 'dpkg -L' can't see the package that suggests 'dpkg -i' failed. | 21:51 |
| aotea | TJ-: seems odd as I'm positive 'apt-get -f' and 'install' told me things happened. Need to scoll my history some. | 21:53 |
| TJ- | aotea: check out the resources at http://packaging.ubuntu.com/ | 21:54 |
| k1l | aotea: see /var/log/apt logs | 21:54 |

| k1l | itsme_: its some issue with lilo. | 22:55 |
| Finale | sounds paranormal though. do they even connect? | 22:55 |
| k1l | itsme_: i havent used lilo since a long time. so dont know about that. | 22:55 |
| wileee | Finale, should not. | 22:55 |
| itsme_ | <k1l> will uninstalling it break my system ? | 22:56 |
| itsme_ | k1l ; or solve the problem at the first place ? | 22:56 |
| k1l | itsme_: well, you need a bootloader. | 22:56 |
| wileee | Finale, This a partitioned install, not a wubi or virtual? | 22:57 |
| k1l | itsme_: i dont know why you choose lilo in first place. grub is the ubuntu standard. and that is known to work | 22:57 |
| itsme_ | k1l ; i have grub installed , by the way i installed grub from the live ubuntu cause it couldnt install from the mini iso | 22:57 |
| Finale | wileee: yup, 2 actual OS | 22:57 |
| wileee | Finale, Unlikely tied, is it fixed yet? | 22:58 |
| Finale | Windows 8 includes a new feature called "Hybrid Shutdown" or "Fast Boot". In this mode, "shutdown" just suspends hardware devices, and when Linux boots it is unable to resume them. You will need to disable it on a dual-boot system. | 23:00 |
| Finale | might try that. | 23:00 |
| reisio | better to not dual boot | 23:00 |
| Finale | really need my FL studio | 23:01 |
| itsme_ | k1l ; how can i chek the helth of my disk ? | 23:01 |
| reisio | nah, there are Unixy analogues | 23:01 |
| wileee | Finale, Yeah if a uefi consult the ubuntu uefi wiki, that from it? | 23:01 |
| reisio | moreover, FL Studio will run via Wine | 23:01 |
| * wileee bequeaths a ceramic podium to reisio ; ) | 23:02 | |
| reisio | wileee: now we're talkin' | 23:03 |
| wileee | ;) | 23:04 |
| Thorax | Sooo.... Its impossible to disable system sounds? | 23:12 |
| cweagans | When installing the apache2 package, is there an easy way to specify the uid/gid of the www-data user and group? | 23:18 |
| cweagans | or do I just need to install the package and fiddle with the uid and gid after the fact? | 23:18 |
| genii | cweagans: Needs to be done after installing | 23:20 |
| cweagans | dang. okay. thanks. | 23:20 |
| genii | ..but not sure why you'd want to anyhow | 23:20 |
| Gurkenglas | While trying to build the haskell package ghc-mod, on the dependency ghc-paths it complains "<command line>: can't load .so/.DLL for: libtinfo.so (libtinfo.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)". http://pastebin.com/JYRT68PP I'm assuming that means I need a dll-like file. The software center seems to say I already have it. https://gyazo.com/87ae1e1a021eefff2abbad84baf748f4 | 23:21 |

| qwebirc21817 | Using TRUSTY runningt apt-get upgrade. It finished but: The kernels are being held back why? | 23:54 |
| wileee | qwebirc21817, try dist-upgrade | 23:54 |
| wileee | dist is the security kernel tag | 23:54 |
| qwebirc21817 | wileee: Will that change to utopic or reinstall the entire system? | 23:54 |
| wileee | no, security and kernel updates is all in the release | 23:55 |
| === AAA_ is now known as Guest31082 | ||
| qwebirc21817 | wileee: So dist-upgrade only updates the security updates? | 23:56 |
| qwebirc21817 | Now that dist-upgrade is running and replacing the kernel how can I specify not to erase old kernels? | 23:57 |
| wileee | qwebirc21817, If they fit within that tag, it is not a thing to worry about it is standard control. | 23:57 |
| genii | qwebirc21817: dist-upgrade will bump application versions up to a new major version if they exist for the Ubuntu version you are running, as well as bring your kernel to the latest one packaged for that version Ubuntu as well. | 23:59 |
| wileee | qwebirc21817, Lubuntu but the same, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/RemoveOldKernels | 23:59 |
