| xpilot | hi, I'm having some trouble installing wine | 00:05 |
|---|---|---|
| xpilot | it appears that I have "held broken packages" | 00:05 |
| xpilot | tracing the dependencies, it looks like the problem is with libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 | 00:05 |
| xpilot | which depends on libdrm-intel1:i386, which depends back on libgl1-mesa-dri:i386... | 00:06 |
| kyaw_ | On which website, can I check a package exists (or package name is correct) to install using 'apt-get install'? e.g. apt-get install ImageMagick | 00:07 |
| genii | kyaw_: apt-cache policy <pakckagename> | 00:07 |
| dbkaplun | lotuspsychje: ? | 00:08 |
| genii | kyaw_: If it doesn't exist, use: apt-cache search <whatyouthoughtpackagename mightbe> and pick from there | 00:08 |
| lotuspsychje | dbkaplun: yes | 00:09 |
| Jordan_U | kyaw_: Note that Ubuntu comes with bash completion for apt-get by default, which means that you can also use tab completion for package names as part of apt-get install commands. | 00:09 |
| niee | Hello. can someone help me. two days trying to set up my desktop environment. latest Ubuntu distro I can not use. today once again I fuck my head with this problem. I want to have "gnome 2.32.1" is this possible? I would be very happy if I can last ubuntu to distribution, but gnome 2.32.1. | 00:09 |
| kyaw_ | @genii awesome. That's what I wanted to check. I'm just wondering if there's an official website like https://packagist.org/ for php library. | 00:09 |
| dbkaplun | lotuspsychje: what? | 00:09 |
| lotuspsychje | dbkaplun: you asked me ? | 00:10 |
| kyaw_ | @Jordan_U thanks for the tip. | 00:10 |

| mcerb | Still trying to get wifi working on hp split 13 x2; now fully updated | 00:21 |
| TechEffigy | Hi | 00:21 |
| ratrace | so how do I flush the dns cache on ubuntu? | 00:21 |
| mcerb | I'm able to connect to internet via bluetooth tethering with my phone | 00:22 |
| TechEffigy | I got this old laptop, installed Ubuntu, been sitting all day just to fix the resolution | 00:22 |
| TechEffigy | Still nothing | 00:23 |
| mcerb | I'm able to get a checkmark when I click "Enable Wi-Fi" on the ultrabook | 00:23 |
| TechEffigy | It's a wide screen, Ubuntu giving me 4:3 | 00:23 |
| genii | ratrace: There's nothing to flush, Ubuntu doesn't cache any dns by default | 00:23 |
| wileee | !xrandr | TechEffigy | 00:24 |
| ubottu | TechEffigy: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 | 00:24 |
| mcerb | Only when I go to the "Network" menu and click the on switch it toggles on and then off again | 00:24 |
| TechEffigy | And it looks like pixels are being stretched from the bottom | 00:24 |
| genii | ( unless you'e installed a dns cacher) | 00:24 |
| mcerb | The bluetooth connection is slow and unstable | 00:24 |
| wileee | TechEffigy, Sorry look at xrandr in the terminal see the setup, address any graphic drivers if involved, to the channel. | 00:25 |
| ratrace | genii: it looks like there is some kind of cache. also /etc/resolv.conf is not pointing to the DNS servers I configured through network manager, and I have no idea how the OS is resolving. | 00:25 |
| TechEffigy | I've try xrandr | 00:25 |
| mcerb | I think I fixed this before by blacklisting some daemon | 00:25 |
| ratrace | genii: by "no idea" I mean in 15.04. Otherwise I've been a unix sysadmin for 10 years and I know how it _should_ resolve, but in 15.04 it's a mystery to me. | 00:25 |
| mcerb | But I want the most up to date, simple solution possible | 00:26 |
| TechEffigy | Won't switch to the modes I add | 00:26 |
| TechEffigy | I've even tried xdiagnose | 00:26 |
| lotuspsychje | TechEffigy: wich resolution is your screen native | 00:26 |
| TechEffigy | It's an Intel graphics driver | 00:26 |
| TechEffigy | Modes lvds1 goes upto 1024x768 | 00:26 |
| TechEffigy | 1280x768 | 00:27 |
| lotuspsychje | TechEffigy: ubuntu version? | 00:27 |
| TechEffigy | I've done the whole cut thing, doesn't work | 00:27 |
| TechEffigy | 14 | 00:27 |
| disconnectedave | how do you set a default file manager? | 00:27 |
| mcerb | Someone suggested I look at journalctl for errors, but it's too full of text for me to decipher it | 00:27 |
| Bashing-om | TechEffigy: "old desktop" got the hosses to run (u)buntu ? 2 Gigs+ of ram ? see :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements/ . | 00:27 |
| lotuspsychje | TechEffigy: did you enable cable + updates during setup? | 00:28 |
| Ben64 | TechEffigy: there is no 14, there is 14.04 and 14.10 | 00:28 |
| TechEffigy | And just apt-get upgraded it | 00:28 |
| TechEffigy | What command gets the version? | 00:29 |
| Ben64 | lsb_release -a | 00:29 |
| TechEffigy | 14.04 | 00:29 |
| genii | ratrace: resolvconf is now the culprit. Look at /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base | 00:30 |
| Ben64 | TechEffigy: good, can you pastebin the output from xrandr | 00:30 |
| TechEffigy | Laptop is core2 with 2 gigs ram | 00:30 |
| TechEffigy | On my fone atm | 00:30 |
| genii | ratrace: Also, the manpage for resolvconf | 00:30 |
| ratrace | genii: it's empty | 00:31 |
| ratrace | genii: I have nameserver 127.0.1.1 in /etc/resolv.conf with warnings saying resolvconf confiugred it, but 127.0.1.1 has only dnsmasq listening, and so I have onn idea how it works, there's no obvious config for dnsmasq | 00:32 |
| Bashing-om | TechEffigy: dual core and 2 Gigs ..:) | 00:32 |
| ratrace | *no idea | 00:32 |
| TechEffigy | It has screen0, Lvds1, VGA1, VIRTUAL1 | 00:33 |
| Ben64 | TechEffigy: really need to get the full output | 00:33 |
| TechEffigy | Lvds1 1024x768+0+0 | 00:33 |
| Ben64 | pastebin | 00:33 |
| mtN | hi | 00:34 |
| TechEffigy | Net is down | 00:34 |
| TechEffigy | Will try connect quickly | 00:34 |
| Ben64 | so come back when its up, might need a lot of stuff in a pastebin | 00:35 |
| TechEffigy | Isn't there some tool I can just use? | 00:35 |
| genii | ratrace: The main config file for dnsmasq is /etc/dnsmasq.conf, it gets disabled or enabled in /etc/default/dnsmasq | 00:36 |

| croberts | but it didnt say anything about flash being needed <- using chrome | 00:45 |
| ratrace | genii: I don't have that file. I've set the DNS servers in the Network Manager's connection (clicky-clicky), but I can't find how the glibc resolver is working with that information. through dnsmasq? how? | 00:45 |
| genii | ratrace: I'm not sure either, sorry | 00:46 |
| croberts | speaking of chrome in ubuntu gnome 15.04 has anyone noticed chrome not showing everything almost freezing, sometimes i have to move my cursor to get pages to show up | 00:46 |
| croberts | on unity 15.04 never had an issue | 00:46 |
| robotdevil | croberts: I didnt think of chrome ill try that | 00:46 |

| robotdevil | yay chrome works | 00:48 |
| robotdevil | wonder whats up with ff | 00:48 |
| Jordan_U | robotdevil: Firefox (without a little work) doesn't support current releases of flash for linux, which only support Chrome's Pepper API (they no longer support NPAPI). | 00:50 |
| genii | ratrace: Some interesting reading here, but haven't waded through all of it yet http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/128220/how-do-i-set-my-dns-on-ubuntu-14-04 | 00:50 |
| robotdevil | Jordan_U: it works on other sites | 00:50 |
| TJ- | ratrace: Network Manager operates a private instance of dnsmasq, which listens on 127.0.1.1. When NM brings up and interface it passes the nameservers to dnsmasq over the dbus. If using DHCP those come from the dhclient instance that NM runs, else they come from the manually configured entries in the NM connection | 00:53 |
| Jordan_U | robotdevil: Yes, because Firefox is using an old release of flash, the last version that supported NPAPI. | 00:53 |
| qwebirc21817 | When installing wine can a WindowsXP system be rsynced to it? | 00:53 |
| genii | TJ-: Interesting | 00:54 |

| qwebirc21817 | Not when but after. | 00:54 |
| Ben64 | qwebirc21817: no | 00:54 |
| Jordan_U | qwebirc21817: What is your end goal? | 00:54 |
| genii | Ben64: Well, possible with cygwin to get an rsync on Windows. but painful. | 00:56 |
| Twirl | hi, is there a way to change color profiles fast with some key combination? | 00:58 |
| Ben64 | genii: oh yeah for sure, but rsyncing a windows xp system to wine will break everything | 00:59 |

| OS_Connoisseur | linos: You mean open up a new terminal window? | 01:33 |
| linos | yes | 01:33 |
| OS_Connoisseur | That depends on what terminal you're using. | 01:33 |
| linos | huh? | 01:34 |
| Jordan_U | linos: To get the terminology correct, you want to open another graphical terminal window, not just "another shell". Do you want to use gnome-terminal as the program providing the graphical terminal? | 01:34 |

| elisa87 | what is testdisk OerHeks | 02:22 |
| Jordan_U | elisa87: There is no "undo" for rm, but there are some ways to *possibly* get back *some* of your data. Note that the more you create and delete files on this filesystem, the more of your data could be permanently made irrecoverable. | 02:23 |

| Jordan_U | SubCool: How have you ensured that cloning just the first 100 GiB of the HDD to the SDD will result in something usable? Without explicit preparation such a dd will not result in something usable. | 02:39 |
| sonvirgo | genni i can see it on chronium thanks much | 02:40 |
| SubCool | Jordan_U, there is nothing else on the drive. I only need the first few parititions, it would simply be easier to do a drive clone than partition. | 02:41 |
| genii | sonvirgo: Great, glad to be of assistance :) | 02:42 |
| Jordan_U | SubCool: Are you using an msdos or GPT disk label on this drive? | 02:42 |
| sonvirgo | i am out now bb genii | 02:42 |
| SubCool | Jordan_U, im not sure, pretty sure GTP. | 02:43 |
| Jordan_U | SubCool: GPT stores a copy of the partition table at the end of the drive, so just doing a dd as you propose would leave you with a drive whose partition table many utilities will cosider invalid. gdisk can probably fix it easily enough after the fact though. | 02:44 |
| SubCool | So im going to have to do this partition by partition. Ok. | 02:45 |
| maximusfl_ | is there a command line program that returns cpu usage % | 02:45 |
| SubCool | well, then even then ill have an issue. | 02:46 |
| genii | top | 02:46 |
| genii | maximusfl_: ^ | 02:46 |
| Jordan_U | SubCool: To actually answer your question, dd's count=foo option can be used (be careful to note that it expects number of blocks of size bs, so count=100G would almost certainly be *wrong*). But yes, doing it partition by partition is the more reasonable choice in my opinion. | 02:47 |

| xpilot | Ben64 I'm trying to install wine, and it appears that I have "held broken packages" | 03:19 |

| Ben64 | OS_Connoisseur: they're almost exclusively user error | 03:25 |

| denza242 | is there any tool to configure gstreamer | 04:56 |
| denza242 | preferrably qt | 04:56 |
| Ben64 | xpilot: looks like you're mixing repos, thats causing the problem | 04:57 |
| xpilot | Ben64: ah, perhaps this is related to the i386 and amd64 repos giving 404 not found errors on apt-get update? | 04:59 |
| Ben64 | xpilot: which ones | 04:59 |
| SaintMoriarty | has anyone mounted a s3 for data storage/.? | 04:59 |
| xpilot | Err http://ppa.launchpad.net vivid/main amd64 Packages | 05:00 |
| Ben64 | probably not the cause but not great | 05:00 |
| xpilot | should I disable some repos then? | 05:00 |
| Ben64 | well your previous paste showed packages from trusty and vivid, you should definitely only use repositories from your version, and PPAs just complicate things | 05:01 |
| xpilot | Ben64 this machine was upgraded all the way from 12.04, I guess the old repos weren't properly removed? | 05:03 |
| Ben64 | possible i suppose, but the upgrade process disables those | 05:03 |
| xpilot | then why do they still show up? | 05:03 |
| denza242 | bugged updater maybe? | 05:03 |
| * denza242 shrugs | 05:04 | |
| xpilot | should I manually remove any package from trusty? | 05:04 |
| denza242 | updating always broke stuff for me, be it instantly or in a few weeks. no thanks to my PPA abuse | 05:04 |
| xpilot | I didn't realize I still had packages from trusty, that's certainly not good | 05:04 |
| Ben64 | xpilot: you can use synaptic to see which packages are from which repository, can remove them all, then remove the repository | 05:04 |
| xpilot | ah | 05:04 |
| xpilot | how exactly? I've never used synaptic | 05:05 |
| Ben64 | on the left, origin | 05:06 |
| xpilot | no sign of trusty | 05:06 |
| xpilot | it looked like the only package from trusty was libglapi-mesa:i386 | 05:08 |
| Ben64 | the only one installed yeah, but the system knew about more | 05:08 |
| xpilot | true - that means there's a trusty repo in some file? | 05:09 |
| xpilot | it doesn't look like synaptic sees any trusty sources | 05:11 |
| xpilot | nor does ubuntu software center | 05:11 |
| xpilot | maybe a lower-level dpkg call could tell me where it's getting trusty packages from? | 05:12 |

| somsip | Ben64: there is a newish one | 05:26 |

| xpilot | but they didn't work for me | 05:27 |
| xpilot | grep trusty /var/lib/dpkg/status has a lot of hits | 05:33 |
| xpilot | a quick web search suggests that this is a common problem for people trying to install steam | 05:40 |
| xpilot | their workaround (on 14.04) was to install libgl1-mesa-dri-lts-utopic:i386 instead | 05:42 |
| xpilot | is there a way to just purge everything and start over | 05:47 |

| freeroute | from what I've understood in the latest plasma they make further distinction between apps and desktop | 06:40 |

| freeroute | konsole and wallpapers are all right with me, I never had experience with konsole yet so I'm curious to try it out | 07:13 |

| MrSassyPants | something on my system is constantly shutting down the CPU | 09:55 |
| MrSassyPants | Like, 1000mhz instead of 2000mhz | 09:55 |
| MrSassyPants | I can track it with cpupower | 09:55 |
| lotuspsychje | MrSassyPants: perhaps a question for ##hardware? | 09:56 |
| MrSassyPants | I'm pretty sure it's some sort of laptop-mode like power save program for ubuntu | 09:56 |
| MrSassyPants | but I have removed laptop-mode already so its gonna be something else | 09:56 |
| mcphail | MrSassyPants: The chosen kernel CPU governor will throttle back if it can | 09:57 |
| Peanut | Hi folks. I have an Ubuntu 15.04 with dmraid, and it no longer boots properly, the / filesystem stays read-only due to fsck errors. "ext4_mb_generate_buddy: block_bitmap and bg descriptor are inconsistent". | 09:57 |
| k1l | MrSassyPants: modern cpus are designed to not run at full speed all the time | 09:57 |
| Peanut | THe machine *seems* to be resyncing my dmraid in some way, but it's hard to pin down what is happening. THe drive light is on constantly. | 09:57 |
| MrSassyPants | mcphail, wrong. I'm setting the governor to "performance". The problem is something is lowering the mhz *range* the governor operates in | 09:58 |
| MrSassyPants | mcphail, slowly down to the min | 09:58 |
| MrSassyPants | ignoring the range I set | 09:58 |
| mcphail | MrSassyPants: temps? | 09:58 |
| MrSassyPants | mcphail, high but not omg high | 09:58 |
| Peanut | So I seem to be hitting 2 problems: A corrupt ext4, and problems with mdraid. However, smartctl shows no issues or errors with any of the drives, so I don't quite understand what is happening and how to debug/proceed. Any help please? | 09:59 |
| yossarianuk | hi -does anyone know any good guides for connecting ubuntu machines to freeipa servers - most of the docs I found related to RHEL servers ? | 09:59 |
| mcphail | I'd suspect thermal throttling before looking elsewhere. Do you have a fancy BIOS which is dictating things? | 10:00 |
| lotuspsychje | yossarianuk: start here maybe? https://launchpad.net/freeipa | 10:01 |
| k1l | MrSassyPants: please pastebin the output of "cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state " and "cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors " | 10:01 |
| lotuspsychje | yossarianuk: or the #freeipa channel exist also | 10:01 |
| MrSassyPants | k1l, that won't help you much | 10:02 |
| MrSassyPants | until a few minutes ago it ran normally | 10:02 |
| MrSassyPants | then I unplugged the laptop and replugged it | 10:02 |
| lotuspsychje | MrSassyPants: why dont you just try whats been advised | 10:02 |
| k1l | MrSassyPants: ok, when you are the linux guru here, then why ask for help anyway? | 10:02 |
| MrSassyPants | and this somehow triggered a buggy script I presume that somehow ends up lowering the allowable range | 10:02 |
| MrSassyPants | I want to know what that could be because its not laptop-mode | 10:03 |
| lotuspsychje | MrSassyPants: providing us the details might result to solving your issue | 10:04 |
| yossarianuk | lotuspsychje: cheers - i'll ask in that room. | 10:05 |
| yossarianuk | thought i'd ask in vase anyone had a link to existing how/to. | 10:05 |
| lotuspsychje | yossarianuk: or the freeipa man page could help point you right direction?. | 10:05 |

| MrSassyPants | lotuspsychje mcphail : Figured it out. Offending tool was thermald | 10:37 |
| mcphail | MrSassyPants: the answer is always thermal throttling :) | 10:41 |
| MrSassyPants | it wasn't the governor, it was thermald starting to clamp the governors frequency limits as the temperature exceeded 80% | 10:43 |

| nfk|laptop | and note that i'm kinda sceptical about its capabilities in a world where there's something like thousand new threats detected every day and most companies for one reason or another seem to avoid even touching stuff that looks like it's backed by a government making the actual detected threat count even higher | 11:56 |

| nfk|laptop | bazhang, but it would still need to be able to detect very large amount of threats to be anywhere nearly effective | 11:59 |
| nfk|laptop | just because it does not spread via email on its own does not mean i can't mail something evil to your not that smart users and have them run it | 12:00 |

| cfhowlett | philinux, it is NOT the local server. that's why it is wise to manually localize it. | 12:28 |
| CryptoSiD | well, not perfect but way better | 12:28 |

| xStark | I have RADEON graphics currently | 12:29 |
| xStark | But my new computer as NVIDIA | 12:29 |
| bazhang | guest-ab3bpH, if its an ubuntu support question then ask | 12:30 |
| guest-ab3bpH | my audio card is sound like fart | 12:30 |
| badbodh | SPF, lol. pity. i got intel too. actually compiz is your window manager. whenever it freezes you run <window manager command> --replace , that forces restart and things work | 12:30 |
| bazhang | ##hardware guest-ab3bpH NOT here | 12:30 |
| badbodh | works for other window managers too, like mutter marco xfwm4 etc | 12:30 |
| iamrohit7 | any views on the question i asked? | 12:30 |
| guest-ab3bpH | bazhang? | 12:30 |
| SPF | badbodh: it's not possible to use kill or something? | 12:30 |
| guest-ab3bpH | i am windows user | 12:30 |
| bazhang | guest-ab3bpH, that is a hardware issue | 12:30 |
| guest-ab3bpH | what is the hardware? | 12:31 |
| cfhowlett | guest-ab3bpH, ask ##windows or ##hardware. Not an ubuntu problem. | 12:31 |

| ren0v0 | hmm, i'm getting "No such file or directory" when trying to run a program using ./program from within the directory?? | 12:32 |
| mbwe | afternoon everybody, i have ubuntu server on a vps, and noticed that my disk is slowly filling up at a rate of 0.04 mb/s could somebody give me some pointers how to track which process is responsible for that | 12:32 |
| mbwe | i disabled all logging already | 12:33 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu-server mbwe | 12:33 |
| mbwe | oh there is ubuntu-server :) thanks bazhang | 12:33 |
| pbx | ren0v0, what's the program? is it executable? is it a script that perhaps is throwing that error itself? | 12:33 |
| ren0v0 | pbx, its an executable yea, i've run it on another container and its fine, i run programs like this all the time | 12:34 |
| EriC^^ | ren0v0: is it +x ? | 12:34 |
| ren0v0 | EriC^^, yea | 12:34 |
| ren0v0 | let me pastebin | 12:34 |
| EriC^^ | ok | 12:34 |
| EriC^^ | run ls -l , then ./program | 12:34 |
| Snicksie | do you have the right architecture? not mixing 64/32bit? | 12:34 |
| Snicksie | you could try to strace your program, see if it's missing a library | 12:35 |
| ren0v0 | http://pastebin.com/G91A7aVn | 12:35 |
| ren0v0 | Snicksie, let me see, pretty sure CT is 64bit | 12:35 |
| ren0v0 | Snicksie, execve("./dslstats", ["./dslstats"], [/* 18 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) | 12:36 |
| ren0v0 | wtf | 12:36 |
| Snicksie | no weird characters in the filename that are hidden? | 12:37 |
| ren0v0 | nope, i literally have exactly the same files on another CT and it works, albeit giving x11 errors, which is why i setup another CT to mess with that | 12:37 |
| ren0v0 | let me scp from the other box to rule out any file issue | 12:38 |
| EriC^^ | ren0v0: try ~/modem/dslstats/dslstats | 12:39 |
| ren0v0 | same, how very odd | 12:39 |
| ren0v0 | yea should have tried full path sec | 12:39 |
| ren0v0 | lol no | 12:40 |
| ren0v0 | how else can you run an executable without ./ syntax? this is baffling | 12:40 |
| ioria | ren0v0, no problem to run the 64bit ver... | 12:40 |
| EriC^^ | ren0v0: what did ~/modem.... give? | 12:41 |
| ren0v0 | -bash: ./home/shaun/dslstats64L-5.6/dslstats: No such file or directory | 12:41 |
| ioria | ren0v0, it's not a script, it's a binary .... | 12:41 |
| EriC^^ | ren0v0: type file /home/shaun/dslstats64L-5.6/dslstats | 12:42 |
| ren0v0 | EriC^^, same output | 12:42 |
| ren0v0 | -bash: /home/shaun/dslstats64L-5.6/dslstats: No such file or directory | 12:42 |
| ioria | ren0v0, try the 32-bit | 12:43 |
| ren0v0 | ioria, just did, seems it works | 12:44 |
| ioria | ren0v0, ypppy | 12:44 |
| ren0v0 | so sorry | 12:44 |
| ren0v0 | must have had a fat finger moment creating the VM or something | 12:44 |
| ren0v0 | god i feel stupid, sorry again.... | 12:45 |

| baizon | mirko_: have you tried to reseet your firefox profile | 13:10 |
| Pici | habermas2: what release of Ubuntu are you currently running? | 13:10 |

| nfk|laptop | because it's ugly and could cause weird issues or conflicts with the system stuff | 13:22 |

| habermas2 | MasterWayne, package manager for python | 13:25 |
| MasterWayne | Thx habermas2 | 13:26 |
| mirko_ | TJ-: no errors | 13:26 |
| MasterWayne | Anyone has experience in handling system imaging or cloning for enterprise level? | 13:26 |
| MasterWayne | Such as clonezilla, ghost, aomei, etc? | 13:27 |
| Pici | nfk|laptop: no, you should never sudo pip. | 13:28 |
| MonkeyDust | MasterWayne don't start a question with 'anyone'... describe your issue and 'someone' will recognize it | 13:29 |
| Pici | habermas2: it looks like there was a deletion of a libpython3.4 update yesterday that is likely causing your problem, I'm trying to remember how debian version numbers work (not enough caffiene this morning) to find you a workaround. | 13:29 |
| cfhowlett | MonkeyDust, that deserves its own factoid! | 13:29 |
| habermas2 | thanks pici, that's awesome of you | 13:29 |
| MonkeyDust | cfhowlett thanks *bows slightly* | 13:30 |
| Pici | nfk|laptop: use a virtualenv or pip --user install. using sudo pip will mix where system and pip installed packages go and only results in headaches later. | 13:30 |
| mjayk | Pici: Thankyou for that | 13:30 |
| TJ- | mirko_: I wonder if it isn't a firefox change, but a change in an underlying library used to provide the file open dialog. May be worth checking the /var/log/apt/ logs to see what other (library) packages changed at the same time as Firefox was upgraded | 13:33 |
| nfk|laptop | Pici, then what should i have done; also sorry if i disconnect, my system is running GPU grade stuff on CPU right now | 13:35 |
| mirko_ | TJ-, indeed can be. I ve updated multiple packages at the same time. can you point out what should I actually look for on these logs ? | 13:35 |
| Pici | nfk|laptop: use a python virtualenv to install into, or use pip --user to install into your user's home. | 13:36 |
| nfk|laptop | Pici, will it work even if i have almost everything else installed via apt-get? | 13:37 |
| Pici | nfk|laptop: only if you do the --user option. If you select the virtualenv route you'll need to elect to copy your site-packages into the virtualenv when you create it. | 13:37 |
| nfk|laptop | also how should i proceed if i have already installed via sudo pip? | 13:37 |
| nfk|laptop | site-packages? | 13:38 |
| TJ- | mirko_: Any packages on the "apt-cache depends firefox" list for starters | 13:38 |
| Pici | nfk|laptop: sudo pip uninstall the package and then pip install --user yourpackage, that would be the cleanest. | 13:40 |
| nfk|laptop | alright, i'll do that after this simulation has done if ever | 13:41 |
| nfk|laptop | running state of the art artificial neural network on CPU sounds about as bad is it is | 13:42 |
| nfk|laptop | did i mention a CPU from previous decade? | 13:42 |
| Pici | habermas2: you *might* be able to revert back to libpython3.4-stdlib by doing apt-get install libpython3.4-stdlib=3.4.0-2ubuntu1.1, but I warn you that it might be safer to just wait until the issue is fixed. | 13:44 |
| habermas2 | ok. thanks for checking into that one! | 13:44 |
| Pici | habermas2: it looks like one of my servers has both libpython3.4-stdlib and libpython3.4 at the newer version which breaks requests, but another one is missing one of those packages and is in the same situation you are in. | 13:45 |

| DexterF | hi | 13:54 |

| mirko_ | TJ-, i ve done cat history.log and compared with the dependency list of firefox, no package seems to match | 13:54 |
| DexterF | ran a rather harmless upgrade on 14.04LTS for RasPi2, now network is gone, no DHCP broadcast received. I do see the act led on the interface blinking, tho. what else can I diagnose? | 13:55 |
| MonkeyDust | DexterF there's also #raspberrypi | 13:57 |
| cfhowlett | more likely to find answers from a raspberry pi channel | 13:57 |
| DexterF | MonkeyDust: who will send me here with ubuntu specific trouble, won't they | 13:59 |
| King_Hual | why don't you just connect the rpi to a screen and see what the issue is | 14:00 |
| cfhowlett | DexterF, by now you could have actually posted a query to #raspberrypi | 14:00 |
| mcphail | DexterF: as far as I know, the RPi Ubuntu is not an official distro and wouldn't be supported here. I'm sure someon will correct me if I'm wrong | 14:00 |
| MonkeyDust | DexterF i guess this channel is for x86 architecture... ARM has is own channel too | 14:01 |

| libredeb | Hi guys! | 14:06 |
| libredeb | good day | 14:06 |
| libredeb | i have a several question | 14:06 |
| Pici | just ask :) | 14:07 |
| libredeb | I'm in doubt about which version of ubuntu use | 14:07 |
| libredeb | i am a developer of apps in GTK+ with VALA | 14:07 |
| libredeb | and java developer | 14:07 |
| cfhowlett | any version can be used for dev work | 14:08 |
| Pici | libredeb: Personally I suggest sticking to Ubuntu LTS releases, which would be 14.04 right now. | 14:08 |
| libredeb | but if not expect to use 14.04 or 15.10 | 14:08 |
| libredeb | I'm in a major company ... it is clear. With a laptop Lenovo G460 | 14:08 |
| thebope | Hello everyone, I've got a Ubuntu 14.04 virtual machine set up on a remote server hosted by digital ocean. I can use their VNC console access with my login credentials just fine, but ssh doesn't work at all, is there a reason for this? | 14:09 |
| cfhowlett | lenovo is generally considered pretty ubuntu friendly - ignoring the inject bios stuff | 14:09 |

| Cyton | I'm going crazy with this new bug | 15:08 |
| Cyton | how do I stop chrome from opening popcorn-time when I hit a magnet link? | 15:09 |
| Khaotic | has ubuntu 12.10 not had in update in about a month? | 15:09 |
| SchrodingersScat | Cyton: change the default program, or could be in mime settings | 15:09 |
| SchrodingersScat | !12.10 | 15:09 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) was the 17th release of Ubuntu. Support ended on May 16th, 2014. See !eol, !upgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/quantal | 15:09 |
| EriC^^ | Khaotic: 12.10 or 12.04? | 15:09 |
| k1l_ | Khaotic: i really hope you dont use 12.10 anymore | 15:09 |
| Cyton | how do I change the default program | 15:09 |
| Khaotic | 14.10* | 15:09 |
| k1l_ | Khaotic: even 14.10 is out of life already | 15:10 |
| Khaotic | my bad lol | 15:10 |
| Khaotic | really? | 15:10 |
| Khaotic | fuuuuuuuuuuuck | 15:10 |
| SchrodingersScat | !language | Khaotic | 15:10 |
| ubottu | Khaotic: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList | 15:10 |
| k1l_ | Khaotic: if you dont want to upgrade every 6 months stay on LTS. you need to upgrade to 15.04 (and soon to 15.10) | 15:10 |
| Khaotic | dang | 15:10 |
| k1l_ | !releases | Khaotic | 15:10 |
| ubottu | Khaotic: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 9 months to 5 years. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases | 15:10 |
| Cyton | HOW DO I CHANGE THE default program or the mime to make it ACTUALLY work in 14.04.3 | 15:10 |
| Khaotic | when will 15.10 be out? | 15:10 |
| Cyton | on chrome | 15:11 |
| k1l_ | Khaotic: 22.10. is release of 15.10 | 15:11 |
| k1l_ | Khaotic: but upgrade to 15.04 first asap | 15:11 |
| Khaotic | i might just wait until then | 15:11 |
| k1l_ | Khaotic: you cant jump from 14.10 to 15.10. you need to upgrade to 15.04 anyway | 15:11 |
| SchrodingersScat | Cyton: i'm in xubuntu, but I have a 'preferred applications' menu option and 'mime-type editor' in menu | 15:12 |
| Cyton | Need it to work for Unity | 15:12 |
| Cyton | why is unity so broken and so featureless? | 15:13 |
| Cyton | I mean I like the interface | 15:13 |
| Cyton | but trying to change anything is as hard as walking on hot coals | 15:13 |
| MonkeyDust | Cyton try unity-tweak-tool | 15:14 |
| Cyton | don't see a mime option in unity tweak tool | 15:14 |

| ferdaus | Hello! | 15:15 |
| [n0mad] | Cyton: have you read through this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/16580/where-are-file-associations-stored | 15:18 |
| Cyton | yes | 15:19 |
| Cyton | I have editted the .desktop files | 15:19 |
| Cyton | the mimetype | 15:19 |
| Cyton | updated mime | 15:19 |
| Cyton | ect ect ect | 15:19 |
| Cyton | let me show you what I have done | 15:19 |
| Cyton | http://askubuntu.com/questions/682623/chrome-magnet-links-xdg-open-fail-popcorn-time-theft | 15:19 |
| Cyton | It, just, does, not, work | 15:19 |
| Cyton | and is so unintuative, it is making me very very very nausious and sick | 15:20 |
| Cyton | how can something so small me so hard to change? | 15:20 |
| Cyton | my mind boggles | 15:20 |
| Cyton | thousands of developers. and this is not fixable easily? | 15:20 |
| EriC^^ | oh gawd | 15:20 |
| cfhowlett | Cyton, 1. did you file a bug? | 15:21 |
| Cyton | Not sure it's a bug | 15:22 |
| Cyton | I don't know what it is | 15:22 |
| Cyton | I wouldn't even be able to describe or discern any bug | 15:23 |
| Cyton | the mime type is just not updating | 15:23 |
| Cyton | and I am sure sure sure 10000% its possible | 15:23 |
| k1l_ | Cyton: please take a breath and dont use enter as punctation. when you calm down maybe more people will be motivated to help you | 15:23 |
| Cyton | but I just don't know how to do it and there is nowhere in either chrome or ubuntu I can set it | 15:23 |
| cfhowlett | Cyton, then I suggest you file it as a but so those 10000's of developers you mention might address it. ranting here or askubuntu is not the same thing as filing the official bug | 15:24 |
| Cyton | is it a bug? | 15:24 |
| k1l_ | Cyton: in all your ranting and making drama i still dont know what the exact issue is | 15:25 |
| Cyton | Issue: when I click a magnet link on Chrome browser - it launches in Popcorn-time (a video watching App) | 15:25 |
| Cyton | I want it to use qbittorrent/torrent client | 15:26 |
| k1l_ | what sort of links? | 15:26 |
| hotmedal | I want to create a virtual LAN with a bunch of computers on different ISPs and which may be running Windows or Ubuntu, but I know their public IPs. How can I do this without port forwarding on any router. Is http://www.freelan.org what I am looking for? | 15:26 |
| Cyton | Magnet: links | 15:26 |
| mojtaba | Hi, I just restart my computer and now keepass2 does not run. Does anybody know what should I do? :( | 15:26 |
| cfhowlett | hotmedal, sounds like a ##networking question? | 15:26 |
| mugurel | Hello everyone | 15:27 |
| hotmedal | cfhowlett: didn't know about that channel, thanks | 15:27 |
| Cyton | x-scheme-handler/magnet | 15:27 |
| cfhowlett | hotmedal, happy2help! | 15:27 |
| mugurel | I have a problem when i try connect with ssh to my desktop from my laptop (both linux, using openssh server). When i try to work with mercurial the system does not recognizes my public keys. Anyone know anything about that? | 15:28 |
| Cyton | I have edited xdg-mime, the Popcorn-Time.desktop the qBittorrent.desktop and another file | 15:28 |
| k1l_ | Cyton: can you pastebin the "/usr/share/applications/<program here>.desktop" of the program you want to open the links? | 15:28 |
| Cyton | yes certainly | 15:28 |
| rizi | i am trying to calibrate my monitor but calibrate button is dimed out in 'colour' | 15:29 |
| Cyton | http://pastebin.com/EnGUdqVH | 15:30 |
| rizi | anybody know why | 15:30 |
| k1l_ | Cyton: please try a "gvfs-mime --set x-scheme-handler/magnet qBittorrent.desktop" | 15:30 |
| mcphail | rizi: do you have a hardware calibrator? | 15:30 |
| mojtaba | Hi, I just restart my computer and now keepass2 does not run. Does anybody know what should I do? :( | 15:31 |
| rizi | nope | 15:31 |
| mcphail | rizi: I think you need one for that | 15:31 |
| jmadero | mojtaba: what do you mean it won't run? any errors from terminl? | 15:31 |
| Cyton | is the application I want (http://pastebin.com/EnGUdqVH) - this is the application I don't) http://pastebin.com/sdp3tKh3 | 15:31 |
| rizi | but couldn't you do software calabration | 15:31 |
| Cyton | sec | 15:31 |
| mcphail | rizi: I don't think you can by default | 15:31 |
| mojtaba | jmadero: bunch of errors and there is no process | 15:32 |
| rizi | i saw one option in windows, it based on your eye judgement | 15:32 |
| mcphail | rizi: at least, you couldn't a couple of years ago (before I bought a calibrator) | 15:32 |
| k1l_ | Cyton: and pastebin the output of "xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/magnet | 15:32 |
| k1l_ | && gvfs-mime --query x-scheme-handler/magnet" | 15:32 |
| jmadero | "bunch of errors".....I suggest pastebin | 15:32 |
| mcphail | rizi: yes, windows has on but Ubuntu doesn't | 15:32 |
| Cyton | brb | 15:33 |
| mcphail | rizi: If it is any consolation, you can pick up a Spyder 2 on ebay for a couple of pounds/euros/dollars which works well (and there are no Win7 + drivers, hence the cheap price) | 15:33 |
| mojtaba | jmadero: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12705370/ | 15:33 |
| Cyton | k1l_: http://pastebin.com/XbG3Zpcn | 15:34 |
| Cyton | however, it was like that before already | 15:34 |
| rizi | i see | 15:34 |
| Cyton | what was gvfs do? | 15:35 |
| Cyton | I think its fixed k1l_ | 15:35 |
| Cyton | I think gvfs command fixed it | 15:35 |
| Cyton | so what exactly was broken? | 15:35 |
| rizi | but it seems strange there is no such option in ubuntu while window had it. | 15:35 |
| Mathisen | for regular use, what is the recomended disk size ? 20 gb ? | 15:36 |
| mcphail | rizi: I think noone has bothered to make one. Most people who value a claibrated screen would have a device | 15:36 |
| teward | Mathisen: 'regular use' is varied from user to user. My regular use requires 100s of GB | 15:36 |
| cfhowlett | Mathisen, "regular" use? no way to say. | 15:36 |
| teward | Mathisen: if all you're doing is web browsing and not downloading, 20GB *could* be what you needl | 15:36 |
| mojtaba | jmadero: did you check that? | 15:36 |
| mcphail | rizi: you could check out "dispcal-gui" to see if it has a software mode | 15:37 |
| Mathisen | yeah just surfing and the basic programs... got a 1 TB disk for storage.. | 15:37 |
| bananapie | Hello. Is it possible to run xorg-server-core 1.12 or less using a modern Ubuntu like 14.04 or 15.04 ? | 15:37 |
| Cyton | I had previously set the correct mime manually in mimeapps.list | 15:37 |
| mcphail | rizi: I don't have access to an Ubuntu machine to check just now | 15:37 |
| rizi | np let me check. | 15:38 |
| k1l_ | Cyton: gvfs handles the mime times now. | 15:38 |
| mcphail | rizi: in any case, dispcal-gui is better at hardware calibration than the default program | 15:38 |
| k1l_ | Cyton: next time make less drama, so people dont get annoyed by the drama before they actually see what the issue is. | 15:38 |
| rizi | just a side question i am new to irc chat. if am talking to someone is it better to write his nickname with : and then type a responce or there is no need. | 15:41 |

| compdoc | rizi, if you include their nick, they know you are talking to them | 15:41 |
| mcphail | rizi: use the name, unless you are adressing the whole channel | 15:41 |
| Cyton | thanks k1l_ | 15:41 |
| mcphail | rizi: for most clients, just type the first couple of letters then "TAB" to complete the nickname | 15:42 |

| mcphail | rizi: whatever you prefer. You can set your client to do either | 15:45 |
| mcerb | how do I verify that the wireless card listed in lspci is correct? | 15:46 |
| rizi | mcphail, thank you very much for the response | 15:46 |

| julian-delphiki | leba2: this channel is for support questions :) | 16:32 |
| OerHeks | julian-delphiki, it can be ontopic, although it is not in our repos i think > http://www.epsxe.com/download.php | 16:34 |
| happycoder | hi, could you please have a look at this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/12705574/ ? | 16:34 |
| leba2 | julian-delphiki: if this doesn't count as support, I'm sorry. But, I asked because that emulator is not working for me. Controllers cannot be configured at all. | 16:34 |
| theseb | happycoder: me? | 16:35 |
| julian-delphiki | leba2: It | 16:35 |
| julian-delphiki | leba2: it's not in the ubuntu repos, I don't believe. Correct. | 16:35 |
| happycoder | nope, theseb. that was my problem :) | 16:35 |
| leba2 | Mm. Sorry. | 16:35 |
| julian-delphiki | leba2: Yeah... are there any error messages or anything | 16:36 |
| leba2 | julian-delphiki: not at all. On epsxe I try to configure controller pad, and what I fidn by defautl are numbers instead of keyboard keys. Ok, I change them, save, but no changes are applied at all. Never. | 16:40 |
| julian-delphiki | hmm, leba2, that sounds like something you should take up with the epsxe folks | 16:40 |
| leba2 | julian-delphiki: already tried more than once, no luck at all. Heck channel even says "not a support channel, just an archive channel", or something like that. WTH? | 16:43 |
| jmadero | does anyone use smartmontools to do a daily check of drives? | 16:43 |
| OerHeks | leba2, there are some controller answers in http://www.epsxe.com/files/ePSXe_FAQ.txt | 16:43 |
| jmadero | trying to get a daily report sent (not just errors, I want daily showing it's working and things are in good shape) | 16:43 |
| reisio | jmadero: better to do a daily check of drive performance | 16:44 |
| jmadero | reisio: why is that better than a smart check? | 16:44 |
| reisio | jmadero: smart check is meaningless | 16:44 |
| reisio | you can test performance with hdparm and the like | 16:44 |
| timbozeman | is there any backup program that can completely restore the entire computer in a dooms day senario? I was using deja-dup, but couldn't get it to restore from the command line. | 16:44 |
| jmadero | I need some proof of it being meaningless | 16:44 |
| reisio | timbozeman: the problem you're having there is not knowing what deja-dup does | 16:44 |
| jmadero | after reading quite a bit about it - seems pretty useful to me | 16:44 |
| reisio | timbozeman: only solution to ignorance is knowledge | 16:45 |

| davidmichaelkarr | I'm having trouble getting access to a virtualbox-configured shared folder on my Ubuntu VM. The shared folder is configured in "Devices". The "sf_" folder exists in "/media". It's owner is root:vboxsf, and perms are 770. I did groups, verifying that I'm not in the vboxsf group, and then "sudo usermod -a -G vboxsf <myloginname>". I then ran "groups" | 16:45 |
| davidmichaelkarr | again, but it didn't change. | 16:45 |
| timbozeman | reisio, kinda hurtful, but ya. I agree. | 16:45 |
| leba2 | julian-delphiki: and I really would not care a frog about epsxe if it was liek it seems to be: old abanoned. But they had to make another release, without good support. Who understands? If it just works for Windows they should say it. | 16:45 |
| jmadero | also does hdparm work with externals? | 16:45 |
| jmadero | this is a USB external, not IDE or SATA | 16:45 |
| julian-delphiki | leba2: yeah, I agree. Sorry I'm not of more help | 16:45 |
| reisio | timbozeman: dd is simpler, though | 16:45 |
| reisio | timbozeman: dd if=input of=output; dd if=output of=input | 16:46 |
| reisio | timbozeman: but you can save time and hassle by complicating your backup schemes more than dd | 16:46 |

| aarobc | Is there a video editor on linux that's basically lightworks, but free? | 16:47 |
| leba2 | julian-delphiki: after several searches I found many users moved from that to pcsx-r precisely. But I wanted to see if an emu that can be just run out of the box could work. I really don't ask for too much, but it's frustrating seeing somethign cannto be used at all due to a misserable faulty small detail. | 16:47 |
| aarobc | or cheaper? | 16:47 |
| timbozeman | reisio, save time by complicating your backup schemes with deja-dup? | 16:47 |

| leba2 | julian-delphiki: already got it. Thanks. | 16:48 |
| reisio | timbozeman: no, that's just obfuscating | 16:48 |

| freeroute | the thing I'm talking about specifically, is the inclusion of the +clipboard flag for vim. By default it is off, and needs the gtk version of vim to get the clipboard functionality. - http://kpaste.net/9494b8 | 17:49 |

| emadhelmi | Hi, i have ubuntu 15.04 and i have installed bumblebee on it, how can i know that is the graphci driver is installed on my OS or not? | 19:39 |
| k1l | emadhelmi: why did you install bumblebee and not just use the official nvidia-prime? | 19:40 |
| godbod | is Ubuntu 15 a stable release ? | 19:40 |
| D-unit | @godbod yes | 19:41 |
| k1l | godbod: 15.04 is the actual short term support stable release, yes | 19:41 |
| emadhelmi | Because I See that the icons on the left side bar in ubuntu are very bad shaped and i think my graphical driver is not installed correctly | 19:41 |
| k1l | emadhelmi: bumblebee is deprecated | 19:41 |
| ikonia | emadhelmi: the intel component is default with xorg, the nvidia free is also default, but limited support, the properitary binary is 3rd party provided by the ubuntu package manager | 19:42 |
| k1l | emadhelmi: it was a workaround until nvidia did ship nvidia-prime to support hybrid video cards. which we have now since some time | 19:42 |
| ubuntu_user_new | ioria, their solution is to use xorg.conf, but I believe you can't put kernel mode settings into xorg.conf. The only way I know is to use xrandr for this... | 19:42 |
| ikonia | kernel mode stuff is nothing to do wtih xorg | 19:42 |
| ikonia | thats done at boot arguments | 19:42 |
| ioria | ubuntu_user_new, /etc/default/grub | 19:42 |
| ioria | ubuntu_user_new, maybe if you explain the entire problem .... | 19:43 |
| ubuntu_user_new | ioria, right, the problem is this: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Dithering/ - I must deactivate dithering with "xrandr --output HDMI-1 --set dithering On". They don't provide a kernel command line solution on that page. | 19:44 |
| emadhelmi | ikonia, so what should i install?or what should i do? | 19:44 |
| ikonia | emadhelmi: it really depends on your system and hour you want to use it | 19:45 |
| ikonia | specific model of card, and it's support status | 19:45 |
| emadhelmi | ikonia, i do not use it very much the reason only i want to install my graphic driver is the bad icons in the left sidebar | 19:46 |
| emadhelmi | and nothing else | 19:46 |
| schnerf | I'm having a very basic problem: My live CD is asking for a username and password. I've downloaded 15.04 twice today, and it seems to be downloaded correctly. | 19:46 |
| ioria | ubuntu_user_new, you need to enable/disable dithering ? | 19:46 |
| schnerf | Is there a known solution? | 19:46 |
| ikonia | emadhelmi: so I sould say hard set it to the intel mode, and use the default intel drivers in xorg | 19:47 |
| RNeville | Anyone know how to shutdown a computer just using keyboard keys, without using the mouse? Running Ubuntu 14.04 | 19:47 |
| schnerf | ubuntu/ doesn't work, ubuntu/ubuntu doesn't work, root/root doesn't work. | 19:47 |
| emadhelmi | ikonia, how can i do this? | 19:47 |
| ubuntu_user_new | ioria, yes, and that's why I believe I need a way to make it apply for all users - it would be most convenient if it applied at the login screen, too... | 19:47 |
| schnerf | RNeville: open a terminal (ctrl-alt-T, i think) | 19:47 |
| Spr1ng | ctrl-f2 | 19:47 |
| schnerf | RNeville: then type sudo shutdown now | 19:48 |
| Spr1ng | terminal | 19:48 |
| ikonia | emadhelmi: the card switching tool, set it to inetl | 19:48 |
| Spr1ng | sudo shutdown -h nopw | 19:48 |
| ioria | ubuntu_user_new, the problem would persists with proprietary nvidia ? | 19:48 |
| emadhelmi | ikonia, i am new to ubuntu,is this a program?(card switching tool) | 19:49 |
| ikonia | emadhelmi: nvidia-prime/bumblebee | 19:49 |
| RNeville | schnerf, thx, hoping just for a combination of key strokes, and not a command | 19:50 |
| emadhelmi | ikonia, i enter it in the terminal and i get this massage No such file or directory | 19:50 |
| ubuntu_user_new | ioria, proprietary nvidia introduces other problems, so I'd like to use nouveau | 19:50 |
| schnerf | RNeville: not that I know of, then. SOrry. | 19:50 |
| RNeville | schnerf, thx, anyway | 19:51 |
| schnerf | RNeville: I figured it was "this mouse is broken and I can't unplug it without unplugging... something". Or something. | 19:51 |
| ubuntu_user_new | Maybe Ubuntu's login manager has an init file where you can paste your custom commands into? | 19:51 |
| RNeville | schnerf, I just like using the keyboard only - if I don't have my hand on the mouse | 19:51 |
| ioria | ubuntu_user_new, right... http://askubuntu.com/questions/364394/xrandr-startup-script | 19:52 |
| ikonia | emadhelmi: enter what into the terminal | 19:52 |
| RNeville | also, like to be able to turn off the computer without setting down and using the mouse | 19:52 |
| emadhelmi | nvidia-prime/bumblebee | 19:52 |
| RNeville | don't think I should just push and hold the off buttong - if standing up | 19:52 |
| ioria | ubuntu_user_new, you could use a .xinitrc file | 19:53 |
| ikonia | emadhelmi: did you read about bumblebee before you installed it ? | 19:53 |
| ikonia | RNeville: just bind a hotkey to a script/binary | 19:53 |
| [n0mad] | shutdown now | 19:53 |
| RNeville | ikonia, thx, | 19:53 |
| RNeville | n0mad, thx | 19:54 |
| [n0mad] | ctrl+alt+t to open terminal, sudo shutdown now | 19:54 |
| RNeville | n0mad, thx, again | 19:54 |
| Zerock|Work | How can I reload the top bar in Unity? My clock is missing, and I can't reboot at the moment. | 19:54 |
| RNeville | Zerock|Work, I have the same problem - at times in Ubuntu 14.04 | 19:55 |
| OerHeks | Zerock|Work, go into systemsettings > time & date, and enable it again? | 19:55 |
| ubuntu_user_new | ioria, thank you, I'll try to make a lightdm startup script - but I fear a global xinitrc takes no precedence over users' ~/.xinitrc | 19:55 |

| ioria | ubuntu_user_new, good luck, come back if this is not resolving | 19:56 |

| ikonia | what do you mean what should you do | 19:57 |
| ubuntu_user_new | ioria, thank you, have a nice evening | 19:57 |
| emadhelmi | ikonia, no i dont read about it, i just read in the net that for reduce the fan working i can install bumblebee | 19:57 |

| wileee | MiDOZ, you resize swap to fix? | 21:25 |

| MiDOZ | Maybe I've got an old story stuck in my head then | 21:28 |
| MiDOZ | Swap is resizable,space can be gained back | 21:28 |
| bprompt | MiDOZ: the extra virtual ram space, is needed IF your system usage, runs out of actual ram, and that'd happen if you run lots of big apps or services or if you only have like 2gbs or so of ram, otherwise, it may not happen at all, at which case, the virtual ram space will never be used | 21:28 |

| MiDOZ | I usually run 4 VMs together for some simulation | 21:29 |

| MiDOZ | 8 GB DDR3 | 21:30 |
| MiDOZ | it lags a bit too | 21:30 |
| bekks | MiDOZ: So how much RAM do your VMs use, altogether? | 21:30 |
| bprompt | MiDOZ: so... have you ever checked how much of the swap space it's being used whenever you have the VMs running? | 21:30 |
| MiDOZ | I've accumulated around 2 GB each | 21:30 |
| MiDOZ | no, never done that b4 | 21:31 |
| bekks | That leaves no RAM for your host, which leads to a lagging system. | 21:31 |
| MiDOZ | now the swap comes to the rescue | 21:31 |
| bekks | It doesnt, since it is about 1000x times slower than your RAM. | 21:31 |

| itsme | why there is no Brightness indicator in Lubuntu ? i used to have it in older versions ? | 21:41 |

| guest42 | Oh, that was new. Is the grub menu a blue box on black screeen, or was that someething my bios has? | 21:44 |
| ubuntu_freedom_y | hi | 21:45 |
| guest42 | I've only seen grub2's boot, and that was on a different machine | 21:45 |
| guest42 | And that didn't work. | 21:45 |
| itsme | bprompt ; it used to have an applet in 14.10 n can i install one ? | 21:46 |
| ubuntu_freedom_y | is ubuntu going to stop using compiz soon? | 21:46 |
| wileee | guest42, I think you're uefi so I'm not up on all these screens for boot I.E. grub and the uefi boot, excellent help here now on this though. | 21:46 |
| ubuntu_freedom_y | i was reading that it is very important to stop using it, because it is two years old and not supported. | 21:46 |
| itsme | bprompt ; the problem is i cant even controle the britness with my keyboard | 21:46 |
| ubuntu_freedom_y | what itsme | 21:46 |
| bprompt | itsme: are you on mobile or desktop? | 21:47 |
| ubuntu_freedom_y | do you mean screen brightness doesn't work for your laptop? | 21:47 |
| ubuntu_freedom_y | there is a grub fix for this. | 21:47 |
| itsme | bprompt ; desktop | 21:47 |
| wileee | guest42, This was just a starting point to see if a desktop was reachable, others may have others responses as a start. | 21:47 |
| charms | k1l, I use this https://launchpad.net/~moorkai/+archive/ubuntu/cinnamon | 21:47 |
| itsme | ubuntu_freedom_y ; what is it please ? | 21:47 |
| bprompt | itsme: then your monitor/lcd would have a knob for that, use that :) | 21:47 |
| ubuntu_freedom_y | let me find it. | 21:47 |
| ubuntu_freedom_y | Update your Grub file, line no 11 in /etc/default/grub | 21:48 |
| ubuntu_freedom_y | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash | 21:48 |
| ubuntu_freedom_y | acpi_backlight=vendor" | 21:48 |
| ubuntu_freedom_y | then run sudo update-grub | 21:49 |
| fearnothing | if you want to create an entire path in one go rather than creating each directory in turn | 21:49 |
| fearnothing | what's the right command? | 21:49 |
| wileee | ubuntu_freedom_y, preface with whom you're addressing if you can. | 21:49 |
| ubuntu_freedom_y | itsme | 21:49 |
| mcerb | I still can't get my wifi enabled. Every time I run "rfkill unblock wifi" while watching "rfkill event" I get this: "1444254525.404667: idx 1 type 1 op 2 soft 0 hard 0\\1444254526.100416: idx 1 type 1 op 2 soft 1 hard 0" | 21:49 |
| mcerb | meaning the wifi interface gets unblocked and then immediately reblocked | 21:50 |
| itsme | ubuntu_freedom_y change line 11 to acpi_backlight=vendor" ? | 21:50 |
| ubuntu_freedom_y | itsme no add that line | 21:50 |
| ubuntu_freedom_y | itsme: so, go sudo gedit /etc/default/grub | 21:51 |
| ubuntu_freedom_y | then edit it, then sudo update-grub | 21:51 |
| itsme | <ubuntu_freedom_y> ye i opned it it ! | 21:51 |
| mcerb | can anyone think of what service/kernerl module might be constantly soft blocking my wifi interface? how would I go about figuring it out? | 21:51 |
| itsme | ubuntu_freedom_y ; so the line 11 should be GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash cpi_backlight=vendor" | 21:52 |
| ubuntu_freedom_y | itsme: http://itsfoss.com/fix-brightness-ubuntu-1310/ | 21:55 |
| ubuntu_freedom_y | itsme: yes, but Acpi | 21:56 |
| roller | how do I unzip a rar file? | 21:56 |
| roller | xubuntu 15.04 | 21:56 |
| ubuntu_freedom_y | roller: install unrar | 21:56 |
| roller | thats windows, cant I do it from a terminal? | 21:56 |
| k1l | roller: install unrar package and than use the fileroller or whatever gui xubuntu uses | 21:56 |
| k1l | roller: use the unrar command on cli | 21:57 |
| roller | i dontknow what cli is, im now in synaptic looking for rar | 21:57 |
| ubuntu_freedom_y | roller: sudo apt-get install unrar | 21:58 |
| ubuntu_freedom_y | roller: from terminal | 21:58 |
| demhlyr | cli is the terminal. commandline interface | 21:58 |
| HackerII | unrar | 21:58 |
| HackerII | cli terminal | 21:58 |
| roller | what I never understood: if I cd to a directory not on my home dir and execute that command you just pasted, will the programm get installed in the directory I chose? | 21:59 |
| k1l | roller: no | 21:59 |
| ubuntu_freedom_y | roller: no, it has nothing to do with where it installs, where you are. | 21:59 |
| ubuntu_freedom_y | you are generally issuing install command from anywhere in terminal world | 22:00 |
| roller | insatalled | 22:00 |
| roller | unrar "Jose Luis Rodriguez con los Panchos.Inolvidable".rar didnt do anything | 22:00 |
| k1l | roller: apt and dpkg are the same commands that synaptic uses in the background | 22:01 |
| vtrev | hi guys | 22:01 |
| k1l | roller: you need to escape all spaces with \ in front. | 22:02 |
| k1l | roller: on cli you better use tab completion | 22:02 |
| roller | x Extract files with full path < how do I add that to the example I pasted? | 22:04 |
| bekks | roller: unrar x... | 22:04 |
| roller | and why does the command doesnt work without the x? | 22:05 |
| bekks | roller: which exact command, which exact output? | 22:06 |
| roller | unrar "Jose Luis Rodriguez con los Panchos.Inolvidable".rar | 22:06 |
| roller | unrar x "Jose Luis Rodriguez con los Panchos.Inolvidable".rar | 22:07 |
| roller | unrar "Jose Luis Rodriguez con los Panchos.Inolvidable".rar | 22:07 |
| roller | THATS The only difference | 22:07 |
| roller | the one witouth the x didnt work | 22:07 |
| bekks | roller: Because you need to tell unrar what to do. | 22:07 |
| roller | mazing the ammount of crap windows programmers create for such simple tasks | 22:08 |
| k1l | roller: why dont you use the tab-completion? | 22:08 |
| charms | k1l what do I do? | 22:08 |
| roller | amazing* | 22:08 |
| roller | k1l, because I dont know how to do it | 22:08 |
| bekks | roller: Windows has nothing to do with it. | 22:08 |
| k1l | roller: you are making it more difficult than it should be. | 22:08 |
| mcerb | how do I figure out which service is calling rfkill to soft block my wifi? | 22:08 |
| roller | bekks, i was comparing extracting on a cli and using winzip | 22:08 |
| k1l | roller: write Jose(then press TAB key) | 22:09 |
| roller | k1l, enlighten me | 22:09 |
| bekks | roller: comparing apples and tires. | 22:09 |
| k1l | roller: you can use the GUI, too | 22:09 |
| roller | you mean on a cli and not here, right k1l ? | 22:09 |
| k1l | roller: again: you want to make it the most difficult way possible. so dont blame others. | 22:09 |

| roller | who am I blaming now? | 22:10 |
| === sandeep is now known as Guest96423 | ||
| k1l | roller: you can let the terminal complete paths and filenames and even commands. just use the tab key. it even works here on irc with nicknames. like "roll(TAB)" and it will make it roller | 22:11 |
| k1l | roller: and i told you already, that you need to install the unrar package and than you can use the gui. like winzp. or unrar or 7zip on windows. the program on xfce is calles xarchiver | 22:12 |
| roller | thanks a lot k1l | 22:12 |
| vtrev | bump | 22:15 |

| qstrahl | I have seriously screwed up something, can't boot normally, sudo is broken in recovery mode, something is wrong with my FS I think. | 22:18 |
| qstrahl | I've been getting this error here and there: http://askubuntu.com/questions/631362/error-getting-authority-error-initializing-authority-could-not-connect-no-suc but nothing I've seen so far in the way of solutions has worked for me | 22:19 |
| qstrahl | Issues began after my machine froze and totally locked me out; I had to power down, and then this nonsense began. | 22:20 |
| SchrodingersScat | roller: right, twice will bring up suggestions if it can't match it to a single file/directory | 22:22 |
| cweagans | I'm running Ubuntu in a Docker container. In order to make volumes work right when running the container on Docker Machine (local virtualbox vm), I opened a PR against my container that does `groupmod -g 51 staff && groupmod -g 50 www-data && usermod -u 1000 www-data` before installing apache or php. If the uid of www-data (user) is 1000 and gid of www-data (group) is 50. What are the potential negative ramifications (if any) of doing | 22:22 |
| cweagans | that? It feels kind of dirty to be fiddling with user and group ids. | 22:22 |
| Bashing-om | qstrahl: What results with a file system check/repair from a linveDVD(USB) ? | 22:23 |
| guest42 | ... I think I did something and I'm not sure what. I held f5 in startup, my screen flashed ubuntu several times, some of the startup stuff that is usually hidden showed up,and I just logged in. | 22:23 |
| qstrahl | Bashing-om, I managed to run fsck on all disks and it says they're all fine. Dirty bit was set but it ran on all of them with no complaints | 22:23 |
| Bashing-om | liveDVD(USB)* | 22:24 |
| bekks | qstrahl: did you use fsck or fsck -f ? | 22:24 |
| qstrahl | bekks, Both | 22:24 |
| ikonia | cweagans: look at what it's changing from and too | 22:24 |
| ikonia | you'll probably find this is just a weak method of "init" your setup | 22:24 |
| roller | i have a problem then: if I press tab once I dont get anyting. I just ls -l'ed my home directory, tried to tab the "video" directory, but nothing happened. I wrote "vi" and pressed tab., Nothing | 22:24 |
| k1l | roller: its case sensitiv | 22:25 |
| k1l | roller: Video is different from video | 22:25 |
| roller | cooool | 22:25 |
| roller | :D | 22:25 |
| cweagans | ikonia: I'm not sure what you mean? In Docker Machine (running locally in virtualbox), your host home dir is mounted inside the vm with uid = 1000 and gid = 50. That's hardcoded, so you can't change it. Then in the VM, when you run a container and bind-mount a dir from the vm into the container, it still has that same ownership. Without changing the group id and user id, apache/php can't read the files from the mounted volume. | 22:26 |
| ikonia | cweagans: yes, I understand how it works | 22:27 |
| cweagans | ikonia: okay, so I'm not understanding what you're saying, I guess. Are you saying that it's not a good idea? | 22:27 |
| ikonia | cweagans: but apply logic, look at what it's changing from and too, and there is your answer of what's changing, then work out the risks eg: security, privileged low UID's etc | 22:27 |
| Bashing-om | qstrahl: Able to boot from a recovery console ? | 22:28 |
| cweagans | ikonia: Okay, let me ask a different way: Is changing the uid or gid going to break anything that I install afterward? I've verified that at the time I change the ids, nothing is using them. Apache and PHP seem to work fine if I install them after changing the ids. | 22:29 |
| cweagans | ikonia: I guess I'm more confused about "you'll probably find this is just a weak method of "init" your setup" | 22:29 |
| ikonia | cweagans: it will break anything that references the old UID, or filesystems that are owned by the old UID | 22:29 |
| qstrahl | Bashing-om, Yes, into recovery mode -- that's how I'm here now, on the affected machine, unfortunately. But tons of stuff doesn't work in this mode as well. | 22:29 |
| ikonia | it will introduce some security risks | 22:29 |
| qstrahl | Bashing-om, For example I can't launch any graphical applications except for the ones that loaded on startup... they just won't start. I can't sudo, and some git commands are failing too. | 22:30 |
| Bashing-om | qstrahl: If one does not remount the file system in "recovery" for r/w one can expect some things not to work . Do you own "YOUR" files in your /home directory ? ' ls -al /home/<username> ? | 22:31 |
| guest42 | Okay, so that didn't fix the problem, just gave me a way into my desktop. I also noticed my computer did not shut down properly when I tried to restart it from there, but I forgot if I used shutdown or restart. | 22:31 |
| qstrahl | Bashing-om, I remounted as rw. Everything in my home directory is present and functioning apparently normally. | 22:33 |
| cweagans | ikonia: okay, the first is not a problem. There isn't anything owned by the old uid or gid in the base image. The second: can you elaborate on that? On the default ubuntu image, the www-data user is uid 33 and the www-data group is gid 33. The staff group is 50 by default. I'm changing staff from gid 50 to 51, www-data (user) from uid 33 to 1000, and www-data (group) from gid 33 to 50. What security implications does this have? Sorry for | 22:33 |
| cweagans | pestering - just trying to understand.. | 22:33 |
| Bashing-om | qstrahl: The question was who owns those files in your home directory ? | 22:33 |
| qstrahl | But for example if I try to use sudo at all it asks for my password and then hangs forever, never completing the command. strace shows zero activity. | 22:33 |
| qstrahl | Bashing-om, My user | 22:34 |
| ikonia | cweagans: your owner will be full interactive users, | 22:34 |
| cweagans | ikonia: "your owner" meaning www-data (user)? And that's because it's a uid > 100 ? | 22:35 |
| ikonia | more so because the process will still be changed, but you're now putting it owned by a bind mount from a fully interactive user | 22:36 |
| cweagans | ikonia: What could I Google for to find ways of mitigating that risk? | 22:39 |
| ikonia | you can't really | 22:40 |
| ikonia | you just have to manage it | 22:40 |
| cweagans | ikonia: Okay, how would I learn about the steps that I need to take to manage the risk? | 22:40 |
| ikonia | just be sensible, and think about whawt/how you're exposiging things to the internet | 22:41 |
| Bashing-om | qstrahl: See if your home dir location is set correctly in the /etc/passwd file, ' getent passwd <user_name> ' . | 22:42 |
| Cyton | HI all, can you tell me how to order unity apps when I search | 22:44 |
| Cyton | when I do <super> and type calc I want calculator to be first result | 22:44 |
| k1l | Cyton: then type calculator | 22:45 |
| wileee | Cyton, add the letters till it does | 22:45 |
| Cyton | is it not possible to change the order? | 22:45 |
| k1l | Cyton: its a algorythm that calculates what you might want. so its the same like: no matter what i search in google i want calculator to be the first entry | 22:46 |
| k1l | Cyton: think about there is other stuff that might match for calc too | 22:47 |
| Cyton | so there is no recently used ordering? | 22:48 |
| Cyton | or favourite applications? | 22:48 |
| qstrahl | Bashing-om, Looks fine to me | 22:48 |
| k1l | it matches program names and tags | 22:49 |
| qstrahl | Bashing-om, Worth noting however is that my home directory is encrypted. Dunno if that makes a difference. | 22:49 |
| Bashing-om | qstrahl: Same, encryption but that a big step beyond my skill set . | 22:50 |

| wileee | guest42, Sure, we know hardly nothing really. In general what is there already if a dual boot, you mentioned W8 is relevant, your end goal and what you've done till know, all this if you can to get started, we are patient. | 23:15 |
| wileee | know=now* | 23:16 |
| wileee | guest42, What you're looking for is a helper who recognizes something in that info, or any other info. | 23:17 |
| guest42 | It's not a dual boot. I cleared out windows 8, I was just mentioning that it was there before in case that was relevant. [I didn't know what you were talking about].

| wileee | single files is the difference, read sam on updates/upgrades | 23:51 |

| OerHeks | vexati0n, one reason could be: those ppa's have no candidates for your ubuntu version. | 23:52 |
| vexati0n | wileee: yes. apt is supposed to read .list files which define additional DEB repositories, so you can add things without messing with your main sources.list file. | 23:52 |

| vexati0n | OerHeks: no, that is not it in this case. "apt-get update" does not even show Ubuntu checking those repositories, much less attempting to find packages for its version. besides, i have many other servers also running 14.04 which all install packages from this same repository. | 23:52 |

| zykotick9 | mojtaba: sorry there wasn't much "advice" included. best of luck. | 23:57 |
| vexati0n | wileee, the .list file is created by a central config management server that puts exactly the same file on all the servers. the other servers work, this one doesn't. | 23:57 |
| wileee | ah | 23:57 |
| vexati0n | the problem is ubuntu is not checking the repository. even if i edit sources.list and add a different repo there, ubuntu does not check it. it behaves as if it is using some older, cached copy of sources.list. | 23:58 |
