| zeio | hi all, is possible use on the same installation on device radeon and one other nvidia | 00:11 |
| OerHeks | zeio, never tried to switch between them, i guess it can with the open driver only. | 00:14 |
| zeio | OerHeks: ok thks, i try this | 00:16 |
| denisotugo | ok | 00:22 |
| denisotugo | hello | 00:23 |
| voya | hi | 00:23 |
| tase | hello | 00:25 |
| Smashcat | Hi, Is there an alternative to vsftp that supports chroot and TLS ? | 00:32 |
| writershorde | vsftp is good, yes? | 00:35 |
| cdk_ | is there a way i can get info on the program CANtact? | 00:36 |
| cdk_ | and i do not know what vsftp is | 00:36 |
| Smashcat | writershorde: Yeah, it's a bit fragile though. Just changing the user's shell stops them from being able to login. | 00:37 |
| Ben64 | cdk_: have you tried looking on google for cantact? or going to cantact.io? | 00:37 |
| Ben64 | Smashcat: ftp is old and bad and not good and terrible. you should use sftp | 00:37 |
| Smashcat | Ben64: Er, no it's fine when you use TLS (encryption) | 00:37 |
| Ben64 | eh, its still bad | 00:38 |
| Smashcat | Ben64: Explain | 00:38 |
| writershorde | only thing I used ftp for was to allow wordpress updates on my dev laptop. | 00:38 |
| cdk_ | tried google couldnt find it | 00:38 |
| Smashcat | Ben64: Do you know what TLS is? | 00:38 |
| Ben64 | i do | 00:38 |
| Smashcat | Ben64: So, why do you think using FTP over TLS is "bad"? | 00:39 |
| Ben64 | why even bother when sftp works great and already has encryption built in | 00:39 |
| Smashcat | Ben64: Bearing in mind it's as secure as sftp and https | 00:39 |
| Ben64 | debatable | 00:39 |
| Smashcat | Ben64: Explain how it's not | 00:40 |
| Ben64 | the file transfer might not be encrypted | 00:40 |
| writershorde | ftp is slow compared to http downloads. don't know any other reason to use it except what stated. otherwise use ssh and fuse. | 00:40 |
| Smashcat | That's what TLS is for. | 00:40 |
| Ben64 | no, the file transfer itself might not be encrypted | 00:40 |
| Ben64 | the client gets to choose, and thats dumb | 00:40 |
| Smashcat | Ben64: It is, as TLS is enforced by the server. It would be "dumb" not to... | 00:41 |
| gartral | hey all, I got a bit of a problem here with a 14.04 system, google chrome keeps crashing with a core-dump, has anyone else had any similiar issues? | 00:41 |
| Ben64 | the login is encrypted yes, the transfer, maybe | 00:41 |
| OerHeks | Smashcat, TSL is only safe, when you work with certificates. | 00:41 |
| Smashcat | Ben64: Can you link to anything that says "transfers may not be encrypted over FTP using TLS"? I was not aware of this | 00:41 |
| Smashcat | OerHeks: Yep - in fact you NEED to use certificates for TLS to work. That's how the encryption works :) | 00:42 |
| OerHeks | So your trust is on the certificate-authority. | 00:42 |
| Smashcat | OerHeks: All encrypted transfers rely on certificates. | 00:42 |
| cdk_ | thank you the cantact.io is what i was looking for | 00:42 |
| Smashcat | (including ssh, sftp, scp https etc) | 00:43 |
| Smashcat | Ben64: Can you link an article where file transfers are not encrypted, when enforcing TLS over FTP? I need to check, and you seem to know about it... | 00:46 |
| Ben64 | yeah not finding one, but the login and transfer are done with separate connections, and the client gets to choose the data options | 00:46 |
| Ben64 | what i don't understand is why you're so opposed to sftp | 00:47 |
| Smashcat | Ben64: You're the one telling me not to use FTP. You don't seem to have any reason for saying that though. As I am enforcing TLS (so the client does NOT get to choose) as I said. | 00:48 |
| Ben64 | fine, do whatever you want then | 00:48 |
| OerHeks | gartral, just got a chrome update | 00:48 |
| Smashcat | Heh, that's what I thought :) | 00:48 |
| Ben64 | stupid me trying to help people in a support channel | 00:48 |
| gartral | OerHeks: 45-47 seem to cause a nasty core dump, 44 works | 00:49 |
| writershorde | http is more reliable for downloads than ftp, and torrent is a whole lot more reliable than either one. | 00:49 |
| evon | Does anyone know of a program that will create a bootable USB with a non-linux disk image? | 00:49 |
| OerHeks | gartral, tried to clean your profile? | 00:49 |
| Smashcat | Ben64: You weren't trying to help really. I do need to use ftp. You were saying it's "bad", "wrong" etc, with nothing to back it up. It's fine so long as it's secured correctly. | 00:49 |
| === Rob_C is now known as Rob_zZz | ||
| Ben64 | you don't need to use ftp | 00:49 |
| gartral | OerHeks: the google profile? | 00:49 |
| Ben64 | nobody does | 00:49 |
| wileee | evon, look at pendrivelinux | 00:49 |
| OerHeks | gartral, yes, the folders in your /home | 00:50 |
| gartral | OerHeks: yep, tried that | 00:50 |
| Smashcat | Ben64: You don't know anything about the server, or why I do need to use FTP. | 00:50 |
| Ben64 | because you didn't provide any of that information | 00:50 |
| writershorde | ftp suck dude | 00:51 |
| Smashcat | Ben64: But you made an assumption ("nobody needs to use FTP"). In this case (as said) I do, as the remote system uses it to transfer files. | 00:51 |
| gartral | Smashcat: you're right, we don't. Why don't you tell up why you *must* use an inherently insecure server? | 00:51 |
| Ben64 | Smashcat: i worked with the information available | 00:51 |
| wileee | evon, here is the site, handful of usb loaders for differing OS's, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ | 00:51 |
| Smashcat | gartral: I've already explained why a secure FTP server is not insecure. Please read up before making such comments | 00:51 |
| Smashcat | Ben64: Saying "nobody needs to use X" is always a bad assumption. If nobody needed something, it wouldn't exist, and be maintained. | 00:52 |
| Ben64 | its not really maintained | 00:52 |
| writershorde | sometimes even the linux ftp mirrors don't work, have to use http. | 00:52 |
| RDM1337 | I was trying to follow the steps on Ubuntu's website on how to write Ubuntu-core on the Pi 2, and the "xzcat" command is showing wierd output. Help? | 00:52 |
| pbx | indeed | 00:52 |
| Ben64 | so instead of arguing, explain why you "need" ftp? | 00:52 |
| Smashcat | Ben64: Really? I just installed it using apt on the latest ubuntu... | 00:53 |
| pbx | can't we skip that part | 00:53 |
| Smashcat | Ben64: I've already explained twice. Please read above. | 00:53 |
| pbx | RDM1337, how about sharing the output via pastebin? | 00:53 |
| Ben64 | you haven't actually | 00:53 |
| Smashcat | Ben64: What part is confusing to you? | 00:53 |
| Ben64 | you never explained why you need it | 00:53 |
| Smashcat | Ben64: I'll quote it "In this case (as said) I do, as the remote system uses it to transfer files." | 00:54 |
| Ben64 | and frankly, i don't care anymore, enjoy your 30 year old protocol with 18 year old security tacked on to it | 00:54 |
| Smashcat | Ben64: You've been proven wrong, now you're pouting like a child. Fine. | 00:54 |
| writershorde | Ben64, i agree. | 00:54 |
| Ben64 | you still didn't explain anything by the way, you just said it needs it because it uses it | 00:54 |
| edve | and your using IRC yeah right Ben64 ... | 00:54 |
| Ben64 | edve: not for anything secure | 00:54 |
| * Smashcat Laughs, thinking about how old the ssh protocol is :) | 00:55 | |
| imthenachoman | hey guys, i have a generic *nix question and thought i'd run it by here. i have a folder with numerous files/sub-folders with all sorts of different permissions. i want to use rsync to back it up to a drive on a 2nd machine. i was going to use sudo to run the rsync/script. is that the best/right way to do this? | 00:55 |
| edve | enyway there is not any secure protocol | 00:55 |
| edve | if you want your data to be secure try disconnecting your PC | 00:55 |
| edve | there is the only secured way to have a PC | 00:55 |
| Smashcat | Ben64: Read it more slowly - I said the remote server uses it. I have no control over that | 00:55 |
| writershorde | use http (apache) or ssh for local users who have an account, otherwise use torrent for files. | 00:55 |
| Smashcat | edve: Yup. | 00:56 |
| Ben64 | Smashcat: so get it changed | 00:56 |
| OerHeks | Smashcat, your original complaint is "Just changing the user's shell stops them from being able to login" | 00:56 |
| pbx | Smashcat, it seems the answer is, "nobody here knows about anything better than vsftp" :\ | 00:56 |
| edve | I know some accountants that are on my IT care and they do all their work on an offline PC | 00:56 |
| Smashcat | Ben64: You haven't considered the possibility that the remote server is not controlled by me, and uses proprietory software, that is very expensive. | 00:56 |
| Smashcat | pbx: hehehe | 00:56 |
| Ben64 | if its so fancy it should be able to use ssh | 00:57 |
| Smashcat | pbx: Funny thing is, during this useless conversation, I've reconfigured vsftpd :) | 00:57 |
| [n0mad] | i'm confused because if the server isn't you, isn't vsftp server side? | 00:57 |
| OerHeks | So your issue is serverside, no? | 00:57 |
| edve | looks like it yeah | 00:58 |
| RDM1337 | pbx: It was still going, at a speed that's way too fast to record, but then I killed it by closing the window, the program was outputing weird symbols and Chinese letters and other ridiculous stuff at a fast rate, is this what "xzcat" supposed to do? O_o | 00:58 |
| Smashcat | Ben64: This is pointless. The remote system uses FTP to transfer files to hundreds of other systems at night. They are not going to throw it out and cobble something together with ssh because "some guy on IRC thinks it's cool" | 00:58 |
| * OerHeks facepalms | 00:59 | |
| Ben64 | yep. i'm the only person who thinks ftp is outdated | 00:59 |
| pbx | RDM1337, depends what's in the xz file you're catting | 00:59 |
| * [n0mad] gets it i guess | 00:59 | |
| Smashcat | Ben64: The irony of someone on IRC calling any communication protocol outdates is not lost on me | 00:59 |
| ExecSlim | RDM1337, you're probably catting a binary file like a zip, gz or tar file | 01:00 |
| RDM1337 | pbx: ubuntu-core for pi | 01:00 |
| Ben64 | again, i'm not using irc for anything secure | 01:00 |
| pbx | we are only a few rounds away from a suggestion that Smashcat make the server admins rewrite all their stuff in Node | 01:00 |
| Smashcat | pbx: hehe | 01:00 |
| RDM1337 | pbx: it's a .img.xz file | 01:00 |
| Smashcat | Ben64: I need to stick you on ignore dude. I don't think anything you have to say will help me in any way :) Bye! | 01:01 |
| pbx | RDM1337, maybe share the instructions you're following and at what step your experience seems to be diverging from normal? | 01:01 |
| evon | wileee thank you | 01:02 |
| edve | omg bitchslap please | 01:02 |
| pbx | RDM1337, also, have you asked in #raspbian? | 01:02 |
| edve | well raspbian will help him only with raspbian product .. | 01:03 |
| edve | he's at the right place i think | 01:03 |
| pbx | edve, pardon, i misunderstood then | 01:03 |
| Ben64 | nah, should probably be in #ubuntu-arm | 01:03 |
| RDM1337 | pbx: First, I did "wget http://people.canonical.com/~platform/snappy/raspberrypi2/ubuntu-15.04-snappy-armhf-rpi2.img.xz" Then I did "zxcat ubuntu-15.04-snappy-armhf-rpi2.img.xz." Oh, BTW, #raspbian helps raspbian, not Ubuntu-core. | 01:04 |
| Ben64 | or maybe #raspberrypi | 01:04 |
| RDM1337 | Ben64: There's a #ubuntu-arm? | 01:04 |
| edve | Grats Ben64 | 01:04 |
| edve | cant tell but thats more of logic that way | 01:05 |
| Ben64 | RDM1337: yeah there is | 01:05 |
| Ben64 | RDM1337: but looking at your command... you didn't output anywhere so you put the entire image to stdout ? | 01:06 |
| RDM1337 | Ben64: stdout? | 01:06 |
| Ben64 | the terminal | 01:06 |
| RDM1337 | oh | 01:06 |
| RDM1337 | Ben64: I'm guessing, though I did do it again a while ago with "-d," but no difference. | 01:07 |
| Ben64 | what do the instructions say to do | 01:07 |
| RDM1337 | Ben64: It said xzcat ubuntu-15.04-snappy-armhf-rpi2.img.xz | sudo dd of=/dev/sdX bs=32M | 01:08 |
| RDM1337 | oh wait, did I need to add the "| sudo dd of=/dev/sdX bs=32M to it? | 01:09 |
| Ben64 | yep, thats why it said it :) | 01:09 |
| Ben64 | but be very careful with that command, the wrong letter can wipe your drive | 01:09 |
| RDM1337 | I'm an absolute idiot..... I thought my newly installed copy of 14.04.3 was bugged up, lol. | 01:09 |
| RDM1337 | Ben64: First I'll reboot to be safe, but then I'll try that, thanks. :P | 01:12 |
| Ben64 | RDM1337: note you have to replace the X with the actual letter for the drive you want to write the image to | 01:13 |
| RDM1337 | Ben64: I know. I dd'ed before. | 01:13 |
| Ben64 | RDM1337: ok good :) i've seen too many people wipe their drives | 01:13 |
| RDM1337 | 10/10 Will dd again. -IGN :P | 01:14 |
| gartral | OerHeks: any other ideas? | 01:15 |

| spagoop | Hi all, need some advice. What's the best practice for running an ongoing daemon in the background? I have a python script that I'm running in crontab that depends on a daemon but running one in crontab doesn't feel right. | 01:28 |
| spagoop | running 14.04 | 01:29 |
| writershorde | gartral, mv .pki .pki.bak | 01:30 |
| Jordan_U | spagoop: What is your end goal? | 01:30 |
| spagoop | I have a python script running in crontab that outputs .txt documents. The daemon watches a file and uploads the contents of a text document to twitter. | 01:31 |
| RainMan28 | I'm trying to have an upstart script that waits 30 seconds after reboot before starting. Any idea how to accomplish this? Ubuntu 14.04. | 01:31 |
| writershorde | RainMan28, Unity? | 01:32 |
| RainMan28 | um its a digital ocean droplet thats running ubuntu, no GUI | 01:32 |
| thms | When I uname -ra I get 3.13.0-042stab111.12 - I want the kernel headers for this kernel, but apt-cache search inux-headers-3.13.0 jumps from 41 to 43, there is no 42, what can I do ? | 01:32 |
| Jordan_U | thms: Why not upgade to the latest available kernel? | 01:33 |
| Jordan_U | thms: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 01:33 |
| thms | Jordan_U: I am looking into this. Trusty. | 01:33 |
| thms | Rebooting the server to see if it loads another kernel. | 01:34 |
| thms | Jordan_U: erm, apt-get upgrade doesn't upgrade the kernel | 01:34 |
| thms | I am lost, I really need those headers | 01:35 |
| Jordan_U | thms: It looks like you're not using an official Ubuntu packaged kernel, but rather packages provided by another party (openVZ?). Try asking the organization you're getting your kernel from. | 01:35 |
| thms | Jordan_U: yes, it is a vServer | 01:36 |
| Froodle | Hi, I'm trying to get the helptags for vim-rails to generate, but after I type :helptags ~/.vim/bundle/vim-rails/doc I keep getting "Sorry, no help for rails." | 01:39 |
| Froodle | Anyone got any ideas? | 01:40 |
| RainMan28 | I'm trying to have an upstart script that waits 30 seconds after reboot before starting. Any idea how to accomplish this? On Ubuntu 14.04 server. | 01:40 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: What does this script do? What is your end goal? | 01:41 |
| RainMan28 | Hi Jordan_U. The script will monitor a logfile's contents but want to make sure that it doesn't start before the logfile is created. | 01:41 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: So why not just check if the logfile exists before starting it? | 01:42 |
| writershorde | don't know much about it yet, but search turned up start session-init-setup | 01:42 |
| RainMan28 | Jordan_U: didn't know you could do that | 01:42 |
| writershorde | start session-init-setup will start job after network is up. | 01:43 |
| promet | Anyone ever buy a usb microscope to use with Ubuntu? | 01:43 |
| RainMan28 | Jordan_U: how can I check for existence of a file before starting my task? | 01:43 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: You can do anything you want with a bash script, and I suspect that Upstart has an official way to do this as well (but I'm only familiar with the systemd method for handling starting services only after a certain file exits). | 01:43 |
| Zetta | Guys it seems my "proxy server is refusing connections". | 01:45 |
| Jordan_U | spagoop: Why are you using cron at all? What daemon does your script depend on? | 01:45 |
| Zetta | I believe I messed up when I was trying to configure it to be more secure. | 01:45 |
| GAbbs83 | hola a todos | 01:46 |
| GAbbs83 | me gusta el arrrrte | 01:46 |
| spagoop | i'm using cron to run the script every hour (it's for a twitter bot). the daemon is then used to take the content generated by the script and upload it to twitter. it's not very elegant, but i'm afraid my python skills are a bit too limited at the moment to make it more efficient :( | 01:46 |
| gartral | OerHeks: I just downloaded 44 from uptodown and reinstalled with that, an frigging pinned it | 01:46 |
| Zetta | GAbbs83: Greetings. :) | 01:46 |
| Jordan_U | spagoop: If the script only runs every hour, then why do you need a daemon at all? Why not just upload to twitter as part of your cron job / script that's running every hour (then exiting until it's run again)? | 01:52 |
| writershorde | RainMan28, if [ -f ~/.profile ]; then echo "true"; fi | 01:56 |
| === Blaster is now known as Guest64999 | ||
| RainMan28 | writershorde: thank you but is that checking to see if .profile exists? where do I place that? in my init file? | 01:57 |
| RainMan28 | err in my conf file? | 01:57 |
| writershorde | upstart runs bash right? we still on that? | 01:58 |
| RainMan28 | writershorde: sorry I'm really new to this, I was trying to have my upstart script wait until a log file exists before starting | 02:01 |
| writershorde | search for: start session-init-setup and upstart | 02:02 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: start on file FILE=/path/to/file EVENT=create | 02:03 |
| writershorde | Jordan_U dat might work. | 02:03 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: That will start your service when that file is created. I don't know what will happen if the file already exits when you boot, but I suspect that the service wouldn't start in that case. | 02:04 |
| chaunax | hi, pretty new to linux; anyone here use Quassel for IRC? It seems to only work for me when running it using sudo | 02:05 |
| chaunax | (but this might just be a general sudo usage question) | 02:06 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: And it turns out my suspicion was wrong, it does what is probably useful for most people (yourself included): "If the file already exists when the job is registered, and EVENT either specifies create or the variable is not specified, the event will be emitted." | 02:06 |
| RainMan28 | ah ok | 02:07 |
| RainMan28 | will try now | 02:07 |
| wafflejock | chaunax: you shouldn't typically be running regular apps with elevated privileges haven't used quassel in a while but I don't recall ever needing to use sudo to run it, perhaps some of your quassel files have the wrong ownership | 02:08 |
| Jordan_U | chaunax: Don't ever run an IRC client as root. It should never have been something you even considered testing. | 02:08 |
| RainMan28 | Jordan_U: this is what I have now: https://dpaste.de/DWF8 | 02:08 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: I'm really not very familiar with upstart jobs, but that start on line looks correct to me. Have you tried it? | 02:10 |
| RainMan28 | trying now, thank you Jordan_U! | 02:10 |
| wafflejock | chaunax: you can try to run, sudo apt-get purge quassel, and then re-install it, sudo apt-get install quassel | 02:10 |
| chaunax | ok, will try it out, thanks | 02:10 |
| wafflejock | chaunax: otherwise maybe consider hexchat or pidgin or some other IRC client, np | 02:10 |
| chaunax | ok, was just going to ask what other clients to try | 02:10 |
| chaunax | brb (hopefully) | 02:11 |
| Jordan_U | chaunax: What happens when you try to run quassel as your user? Note that running it as root may have actually caused you additional problems by making some of its files root owned. | 02:11 |
| gartral | chaunax: i use irssi | 02:11 |
| chaunax | yeah, I think I may have initialized some files as root owned | 02:11 |
| chaunax | I'll try the purge had hopefully that'll clear it out | 02:11 |
| writershorde | uplink.sh will run from upstart if it's in /root? | 02:14 |
| RainMan28 | writershorde: yeah I'm trying to make it so that uplink.sh will run from upstart once /var/log/upstart/server.log is created | 02:16 |
| RainMan28 | Jordan_U: didn't work :/ | 02:16 |
| cynixx3 | writershorde, isint that what init.d scripts are for? | 02:17 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: You'll have to give a slightly more detailed description of what happened than that. | 02:18 |
| RainMan28 | Jordan_U: sorry, I created that startup file (/etc/init/uplink.conf), then I rebooted the server, and when it started up again, uplink.sh didn't run | 02:18 |
| cynixx3 | RainMan28, checklvl -l | 02:20 |
| RainMan28 | cynixx3: whats that mean? | 02:20 |
| cynixx3 | just because a script is init.d doesnt mean it will run on startup. There are 6 different startup levels from recovery mode to normal boot. Checklevel is a program that calls init.d scripts into action depending on the boot level. | 02:21 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: Is uplink.sh a short lived script or a daemon? | 02:21 |
| RainMan28 | Jordan_U: it keeps running constantly | 02:22 |
| RainMan28 | it doesn't quit ever | 02:22 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: Then "task" is inappropriate. | 02:22 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#task | 02:23 |
| RainMan28 | ah service then? | 02:23 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: I think you just need to remove that line, without replacing it with anything else. | 02:24 |
| cynixx3 | RainMan28, I would try chkconfig --level to see if your init.d script is being called at boot or not. | 02:27 |
| cynixx3 | or chkconfig --list, my bad. | 02:28 |
| RainMan28 | Jordan_U: removed task, still a no go | 02:28 |
| RainMan28 | cynixx3: do i just type chkconfig --list at the prompt? | 02:28 |
| cynixx3 | yes. | 02:29 |
| RainMan28 | chkconfig: command not found | 02:29 |
| asdffff | ubuntu is free! | 02:31 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: What happens when you run "sudo service yourservice start"? | 02:32 |
| cynixx3 | my appologies Ubuntu updated the command update-rc.d yourscript defaults | 02:32 |
| RainMan28 | Jordan_U: I don't know if what I have is a service...what would be the name of my service? I have two files uplink.sh and uplink.conf (which is in /etc/init/) | 02:33 |
| chaunax | thanks all, I found out that I had to delete some .config files out but that did the trick | 02:33 |
| erkburgles | I can only run a certain application through command prompt, it's located in root/bin. I can navigate to the folder and see the application but cannot open it unless I do it through the command prompt. How do I change it so I can open it by clicking on the icon | 02:33 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: What is the output of "sudo service uplink start"? | 02:34 |
| RainMan28 | uplink stop/waiting | 02:35 |
| cynixx3 | RainMan28, a service is just a script that runs constantly in the background. Scripts in /etc/init.d are to start programs. the command Jordan_U gave starts scripts in /etc/init.d | 02:35 |
| RainMan28 | cynixx3: oh i see | 02:35 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: What is the output of "ls -l /var/log/upstart/server.log"? | 02:35 |
| RainMan28 | -rw-r----- 1 root root 468476 Oct 13 19:36 /var/log/upstart/server.log | 02:36 |
| cynixx3 | we could probably use a pastebin of that log | 02:37 |
| RainMan28 | cynixx3: https://dpaste.de/RroJ | 02:38 |
| erkburgles | can i get some pointers here | 02:39 |
| cynixx3 | depends erkburgles | 02:39 |
| erkburgles | im listening | 02:40 |
| erkburgles | what information can i give you to narrow that down | 02:40 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: Please pastebin your uplink.sh. | 02:40 |
| cynixx3 | erkburgles, is this what you are tying to do? http://askubuntu.com/questions/436891/create-a-desktop-file-that-opens-and-execute-a-command-in-a-terminal | 02:42 |
| Jordan_U | erkburgles: What application? How are you trying to run it? What happens when you try to run it now? | 02:42 |
| RainMan28 | Jordan_U: cynixx3: https://dpaste.de/Lf6i | 02:43 |
| cynixx3 | RainMan28, the upstart/server.log left more questions than answers. | 02:43 |
| erkburgles | its called SPSS | 02:43 |
| erkburgles | I run it by going to the destingation folder | 02:44 |
| erkburgles | sudo ./STATISTICS | 02:44 |
| erkburgles | the permissions indicate I do am not the owner | 02:44 |
| erkburgles | i was trying to do chown | 02:44 |
| erkburgles | not sure if that's right | 02:44 |
| erkburgles | didn't seem to fix anything | 02:44 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: And the contents of /var/log/syslog . | 02:45 |
| cynixx3 | erkburgles, you may need to check the ownership permissions of the parent folder as well. | 02:45 |
| erkburgles | is that the folder root? | 02:47 |
| Jordan_U | erkburgles: How did you install SPSS? | 02:47 |
| RainMan28 | Jordan_U: https://dpaste.de/MxQj | 02:47 |
| cynixx3 | This looks like a program that should have its own user and not be installed in root. Are you sure its supposed to be installed there? | 02:48 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: Oct 13 19:34:55 development kernel: [ 520.100113] init: uplink main process (1486) terminated with status 2 | 02:48 |
| RainMan28 | Jordan_U: whats that mean? | 02:48 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: It means that upstart tried to run uplink (presumably uplink.sh) and it exited with "2" as the exit status. | 02:50 |
| erkburgles | from bin file chmod +x SPSS_Statistics_22_Lx.bin then ./SPSS_Statistics_22_Lx.bin | 02:50 |
| RainMan28 | ls | 02:51 |
| RainMan28 | oops | 02:51 |
| Jordan_U | erkburgles: Were you following a particular set of instructions? If so, please link to them. | 02:51 |
| erkburgles | ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/analytics/spss/documentation/statistics/22.0/en/client/InstallationDocuments/Linux/Concurrent_License_User_Installation_Instructions.pdf | 02:52 |
| DrHalan1 | i have two screens with different DPI value and would like to set the scaling independently. is there a bug report for this already? this seems like common issue but i cant find it | 02:54 |
| Jordan_U | DrHalan1: As I understand it, this can only be properly addressed using Wayland (or possibly Mir). | 02:55 |
| RainMan28 | Jordan_U: any other ideas? thank you | 02:56 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: Does the script run properly when executed directly? | 02:57 |
| RainMan28 | yes | 02:57 |
| RainMan28 | but it doesn't quit until I do CTRL+C | 02:58 |
| RainMan28 | but its not supposed to quit either...supposed to keep going | 02:58 |
| RainMan28 | Jordan_U: I just tried running it with @reboot bash /root/uplink/uplink.sh >/dev/null 2>&1 in my crontab and it worked | 03:00 |
| erkburgles | ccynixx3: in that case, how do I move the bin folder to a location where I can run it as a normal user? | 03:01 |
| erkburgles | cynixx3* | 03:01 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: Why did you use "@reboot bash /root/uplink/uplink.sh >/dev/null 2>&1" instead of "@reboot /root/uplink/uplink.sh >/dev/null 2>&1"? | 03:01 |
| RainMan28 | Jordan_U: I don't know, should I try changing it? | 03:02 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: Yes. | 03:02 |
| RainMan28 | ok | 03:02 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: Please also try adding "console log" to your upstart job, then starting it again. That should give you the stdout/stderr in a new file /var/log/upstart/uplink.log . | 03:03 |
| RainMan28 | Jordan_U: removing the bash made it stop working | 03:04 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: Is /root/uplink/uplink.sh executable? | 03:05 |
| RainMan28 | yes | 03:05 |
| RainMan28 | I did chmod +x /root/uplink/uplink.sh | 03:05 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: ls -l /root/uplink/uplink.sh; | 03:05 |
| RainMan28 | -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3265 Oct 13 20:02 /root/uplink/uplink.sh | 03:06 |
| RainMan28 | should my console log part be above the exec in my upstart job? | 03:07 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: D'oh, simple mistake :) | 03:07 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: Sometimes adding comments can have an effect. #!/bin/bash needs to be the first line of the file. | 03:07 |
| RainMan28 | Jordan_U: ok added it as first line, now will try to restart and see what happens | 03:08 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: And you should pretty much never use bash/python/perl/foo explicitly when executing a script. Best practice is to just execute the file and allow the #! magic do its work. | 03:08 |
| RainMan28 | oh ok | 03:08 |
| kro2488 | what is the best way to learn ip tables? I've been using ufw because its easy but i don't really know what im doing using that. | 03:09 |
| kro2488 | it makes it too easy | 03:09 |
| RainMan28 | Jordan_U: you're right, it worked now from the upstart file | 03:09 |
| RainMan28 | Jordan_U: should I just use a cronjob instead of what we did? It seems the cron job works the same | 03:10 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: No, because the cron job won't ensure in any way that the log file exists first, and doesn't have the same monitoring capabilities as upstart. | 03:10 |
| RainMan28 | understood | 03:11 |
| RainMan28 | Jordan_U: thank you so much for all your help. you too cynixx3 | 03:11 |
| Jordan_U | RainMan28: You're welcome. | 03:11 |

| erkburgles | I'm trying to open a .sav file, I have the program that opens this extension, but when I try to open it, and it asks what program I'd like to use to open the file, the program I have that opens it does not populate, why? | 03:19 |
| NicholasCage | Good evening people! | 03:20 |
| genii | erkburgles: The extension .sav would seem to just be some generic extension you give a file like .bak or such, that doesn't actually have anything to do with what the file actually is. Probably want to do: file filename.sav ( or whatever the filename ending in .sav is actually called) and see if it tells you what the file actually is so you know what to use to open it | 03:22 |

| erkburgles | when you try to open a file, it asks what application you want to use to open it and gives a bunch of options | 03:26 |
| erkburgles | the program i have that i need to open it is not there | 03:26 |
| Jordan_U | erkburgles: And that program is SPSS? | 03:27 |
| erkburgles | lol yes | 03:27 |
| Jordan_U | erkburgles: That's unfortunately what you get with programs that aren't in the default repositories and whose developers didn't take the time to add proper integration to. | 03:28 |
| erkburgles | why is it that I can only run SPSS through command prompt? | 03:29 |
| Jordan_U | erkburgles: There are well agreed upon standards for shipping configuration files, .desktop files mainly, that tell the Desktop Environment where in the launcher menus to add your program, how to launch it, what types of files it can open, etc. It looks like IBM didn't bother writing those files, in which case you have to write them yourself. This is one of the downsides of proprietary software. | 03:30 |
| erkburgles | ah ok | 03:31 |
| erkburgles | can you point me to how to do that | 03:31 |
| Jordan_U | erkburgles: Does PSPP fit your needs https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/precise/pspp/? | 03:33 |
| erkburgles | i was looking at that, but it | 03:33 |
| erkburgles | crashes when I start it | 03:33 |

| spider_ | This makes it really hard to install ubuntu :D | 04:26 |
| optimistic7 | ok , let me try writershorde | 04:26 |
| soupnanodesukar | spider_: boot with nomodeset and install amd/nvidia graphics drivers on the console | 04:27 |

| kiawin | hi anyone familiar with openbox? I modified my ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml and ran "openbox --reconfigure" but my menu seems still remain unchaned | 04:29 |
| kiawin | * unchanged | 04:29 |
| spider_ | How would one go around to booting with nomodeset and installing the nvidia driver? | 04:29 |
| spider_ | I am in the bios at the moment | 04:29 |
| somsip | !nomodeset | spider_ | 04:29 |
| ubottu | spider_: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 04:29 |
| spider_ | Is this done in the bios? I never seen a console in BIOS before. | 04:30 |
| somsip | spider_: did you read the link? | 04:30 |
| writershorde | spider, nomodeset is typed into grub end of line. http://askubuntu.com/questions/38780/how-do-i-set-nomodeset-after-ive-already-installed-ubuntu | 04:31 |
| spider_ | Just to be sure, I have not installed ubuntu. I am in the bios at the moment, here I can boot using the USB | 04:33 |
| spider_ | when I boot from the USB I see the Ubuntu icon for a moment and then monitor goes to sleep | 04:33 |
| writershorde | spider_ something wrong with your usb. bad download maybe. on my box you hit F11 on startup to bring up usb boot option. | 04:35 |
| zacman | Hi can somebody help me | 04:35 |
| spider_ | No no, it is the nvidia graphics card, seems to be a common problem | 04:35 |
| soupnanodesukar | spider_: You're booting from USB? Create a usb boot disk with usb-creator-gtk/usb-creator-kde, make sure it has a persistence file, and boot into the usb disk with the nomodeset option, then install the drivers on to the usb from alt-ctrl-f1 console. Reboot, and the installer should run with the proprietary driver. | 04:35 |
| cynixx3 | Whats up zacman ? | 04:37 |
| curiousx | kiawin: maybe you didn't edit your menu.xml, properly, maybe there are missing characters or somethin' bonus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10894405/ :p | 04:37 |
| writershorde | soupnanodesukar that would mean he has to create bootable use with persitence. | 04:37 |
| writershorde | i mean usb with persistence. | 04:37 |
| curiousx | kiawin: your menu.xml properly... | 04:38 |
| soupnanodesukar | writeshorde: yes, i had to do that with my laptop once. | 04:38 |
| writershorde | i would just install it and then install extra drivers. | 04:38 |

| curiousx | kiawin: i think to remember myself running a sctipt that autoconfigure the menus, i don't remember if its worked or not, but, i end up learning and editing that file my self, tho, ty :p | 04:43 |
| curiousx | kiawin: do ya want me to send mah configuration files that i had in openbox ? | 04:43 |
| yi_ | ... | 04:44 |
| spider_ | hmm if I hold F6 at the Ubuntu Gnome icon I can enter this menu. | 04:44 |
| spider_ | I gotta aFK, I will look at this when I return | 04:44 |
| writershorde | computers different, but one key opens boot menu yes. | 04:44 |
| k3pl3r16 | has ssh been patched and secure now? | 04:45 |
| kiawin | curiousx: that not necessary. I'm just unsure what behavior has changed as I used to modify the file too. | 04:45 |
| k3pl3r16 | sorry ssl | 04:45 |
| curiousx | oh! ok, mmm, maybe can i send some links that i used back in those day to learn how configure openbox ? | 04:46 |
| writershorde | not used openbox, only i3wm unity and gnome. | 04:46 |
| lotuspsychje_ | !heartbleed | k3pl3r16 | 04:47 |
| ubottu | k3pl3r16: A fix for the recent OpenSSL vulnerabilities (2014-0076 & 0160) has been pushed to the Ubuntu repositories. See http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2165-1/ and http://heartbleed.com/ for more information. | 04:47 |
| k3pl3r16 | lotuspsychje_, cheers for that | 04:47 |
| curiousx | writershorde: oh! i saw some screenshot in "unixporn" about i3wm and bspwm, those WM looks awesomes, i used gnome-shell tho -.- | 04:47 |
| spider_ | Seems like you can select nomodeset if you hold down F6 when the gnome logo shows up, and then in there if you press F6 you can select nomodeset and a couple of others | 04:48 |
| writershorde | got 8gb, might as well use Unity. i3wm good on large screen where you never close out prog and leave same stuff running. | 04:48 |
| kiawin | curiousx: I did an experiment by copying a default menu (which is different from the "loaded" menu), and run "openbox --reconfigure" (or even restart), but it doesn't change | 04:48 |
| kiawin | the default xml is located in /etc/xdg/openbox/menu.xml | 04:49 |
| kiawin | So something has changed somehow | 04:49 |
| kiawin | Hahahaha | 04:49 |
| writershorde | not reading in .conf I had that happen before | 04:50 |
| kiawin | writershorde: I thought of i3wm, but heard it doesn't play well with swing stuff. | 04:50 |
| writershorde | i3wm good, once i learned it still had problem setting up fonts but on some desktops it's great with large screen. | 04:50 |

| Techspectre | Ubuntu 15.04 running windoze and android apps in vbox VMs. Is there a way to get the launcher to see each VM as its own sort of app? | 04:50 |
| writershorde | I know a little python, just now learning Glade though. | 04:52 |
| kiawin | hi Techspectre, I think there's a "seamless mode" for Ubuntu | 04:52 |
| kiawin | * sorry, virtualbox | 04:52 |
| writershorde | it very different! installed Lazarus, I used to know some pascal but forgot most of it. | 04:53 |
| Techspectre | kiawin, thanks but that isn't what I mean. I want the Ubuntu launcher to recognize each VM as its own program, instead of just multiple instances of virtualbox | 04:53 |
| k2596 | hello everyone | 04:53 |
| curiousx | kiawin: take a look: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12778251/ | 04:54 |
| kiawin | Techspectre: you mean, customized launcher icon and name? | 04:54 |
| Techspectre | kiawin, yeah that'd be pretty sweet | 04:54 |
| Techspectre | make it look like I'm running creative suite natively | 04:55 |
| kiawin | thanks curiousx | 04:55 |
| curiousx | kiawin: np | 04:55 |
| kiawin | Techspectre: so when you press the icon, it will show you the windows desktop (entire vm), or just the adobe creative suite | 04:55 |
| Techspectre | kiawin, the entire VM is fine | 04:56 |
| Techspectre | seamless mode is very um.. not seamless. So I set up Windows's UI to look like it's all one app | 04:56 |
| kiawin | Hahahaha | 04:57 |
| kiawin | I totally agree with you on that part Techspectre | 04:57 |
| writershorde | i only have 8 gigs no vm, but my son has win 7 so i do the remote desktop thing and play with powershell. | 04:57 |
| Techspectre | It becomes very clear when you drag a window and you see trails of windows desktop | 04:57 |

| Techspectre | kiawin, I figured out how to do it | 05:28 |
| kiawin | cool :) | 05:28 |
| Techspectre | Create a shortcut to the VM on the desktop via vboxmanage's function to do so. Move the shortcut to the home folder. Then drag it into the launcher. | 05:28 |

| ubuntu748 | hey is anyone here? | 05:44 |
| ubuntu748 | i need some help | 05:45 |
| somsip | !ask | ubuntu748 | 05:45 |
| ubottu | ubuntu748: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 05:45 |
| spider_ | You can see who is only in the list to the left <<<< or right? Well, in chatmozzila it is to the left. | 05:46 |
| spider_ | online* | 05:46 |
| ubuntu748 | whilestarting ma ubuntu os which is installed in other drive is showing probe failed .....can anyone explain it | 05:46 |
| ubuntu748 | here? | 05:49 |
| spider_ | Does anyone know the text version of the nomodeset command? I am in the grub menu (Live Mode, Install, File Integrity Check, Memory Test). Here I can press F6 for Other Options and there I can select nomodeset but it isn't working as I a still getting an error. However I have Boot Options: and it has some commands in it, but nothing about nomodeset. | 05:51 |
| spider_ | This is in relation with the Blank screen after grub boot. | 05:52 |
| LambdaComplex | spider_: Can you get to the editor? I think it's "e" with the entry selected | 05:54 |
| LambdaComplex | Although I'm not sure if I'm fully understanding the question | 05:54 |
| spider_ | editor? Do you mean the the boot options console? | 05:54 |
| LambdaComplex | spider_: http://cdn9.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/grub2-timeout.png | 05:55 |
| LambdaComplex | e to edit the commands | 05:55 |
| spider_ | Hey, seems like I have fixed it, by typing nomodeset in the boot options console | 05:56 |
| spider_ | I am now seeing the install GUI | 05:56 |
| spider_ | Ok, ubuntu is installing. Thanks for the help. | 05:58 |
| ubuntu748 | i having problem while starting ubuntu on dual boot mode ,it is showing just like a DOS command and written probe failed...so on this condition what should i do to recover working process properly? | 05:59 |
| spider_ | ubuntu748 did you do anything before you started getting that problem? | 06:00 |
| ubuntu748 | i dont think so but it shows like probe failed DOS format...!! | 06:01 |
| jordany | hello word!! | 06:02 |
| ubuntu748 | <spider> i dont think so but it shows like probe failed DOS format...!! | 06:03 |
| deweydb_ | is there a way to dismiss an incomplete install | 06:03 |
| deweydb_ | so it doesn't keep trying everytime i apt-get upgrade | 06:03 |
| spider_ | Hey LambdaComplex I am able to enter the menu, as I still have the blank monitor issue after installing ubuntu | 06:04 |
| LambdaComplex | spider_: Configure grub to use nomodeset | 06:05 |
| spider_ | ok, I am in the menu, do I simply type in nomodeset under the setparams 'Ubuntu'? | 06:06 |
| dionysus69 | I am on ubuntu server and I installed it with minimal lubuntu, but I want to run gui only when I want to, how do I prevent it from loading by default and also what is the command to start lubuntu gui? | 06:06 |
| spider_ | LambdaComplex do you remember what button is for save? | 06:07 |
| LambdaComplex | spider_: After editing the entry from grub? | 06:10 |
| LambdaComplex | I honestly don't think there is one | 06:10 |
| spider_ | yeah, I simply have to do ctrl+x | 06:10 |
| spider_ | but it says nomodeset commands is wrong so I guess I am typing it in the wrong place | 06:10 |
| ubuntu748 | same here <LambdaComplex> | 06:11 |
| ubuntu748 | no one is here to help | 06:11 |
| wileee | spider_, look at the bots nomodeset info and no splash in grub | 06:11 |
| lotuspsychje_ | !nomodeset | 06:12 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 06:12 |
| Moussa | erver irc.freenode.org | 06:12 |
| wileee | ubuntu748, This a wubi install from windows? What you describe is not really ever seen here. | 06:13 |
| LambdaComplex | I thought wubi wasn't supported anymore | 06:13 |
| LambdaComplex | Am I wrong? | 06:13 |
| wileee | nope | 06:14 |
| LambdaComplex | dionysus69: A. I don't think ubuntu server is supported in this channel. B. disable the display manager, edit .xinitrc, and use the startx command. | 06:14 |
| ubuntu748 | nope | 06:14 |
| LambdaComplex | Lemme seeee | 06:14 |
| spider_ | I tried reading that article either I am missing it or it is not there, I simply can't see how to add the nomodeset parameter to the grub2 file thingie before boot | 06:14 |
| LambdaComplex | !server | 06:14 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Trusty (Trusty Tahr 14.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide - Support in #ubuntu-server | 06:14 |
| LambdaComplex | dionysus69: ^ | 06:14 |
| dionysus69 | how do I disable display manager? when I do service lightdm stop it just doesnt go to cli and system hangs | 06:15 |
| wileee | spider_, At grub hit e than look about 3rd 4th line fir no splash, that is what us described. | 06:15 |
| ubuntu748 | black screen with command probe failed.....how to solve it? can anyone are listening here? | 06:16 |
| LambdaComplex | dionysus69: maybe like this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10798400#post10798400 | 06:16 |
| LambdaComplex | (but lightdm.override instead of gdm.override) | 06:16 |
| spider_ | wileee, the only splash I see is quiet splash | 06:17 |
| spider_ | There is nothing on the 3rd or 4th line for no splash | 06:18 |
| Ryein | ok after several hours of fuss i keep running into the same issue over and over again | 06:19 |
| wileee | spider_, right, in that place I forget before or after you would put nomodeset, this is a per boot mod, you can change this permanently if need after an update. | 06:19 |
| wileee | splash is the key word | 06:20 |
| Ryein | is there any way to install CUDA 7.5 on Ubuntu 14.04.3 without it locking up at the Ubuntu Slpash screen? | 06:20 |
| hateball | Ryein: are you running the latest nvidia drivers? | 06:21 |
| hateball | or the ones supplied in 14.04 | 06:21 |
| spider_ | thanks wileee, adding the nomodeset after quitesplash seemed to do something, I will see if it progresses | 06:21 |
| spider_ | Ok, I am in the desktop now, better change the driver before it messes up ^^ | 06:21 |
| Ryein | hateball, i am running the drivers that come with CUDA 7.5 | 06:22 |
| Ryein | hateball, Nvidia's deb file comes with driver version 352 | 06:22 |
| Ryein | the default CUDA libs offered by default in 14.04.3 is 5.5 | 06:23 |
| Ryein | pretty old | 06:23 |
| hateball | Ryein: I wasnt aware it came with the driver, iirc that wasnt always the case | 06:23 |
| hateball | Ryein: My suggestion would have been to add the https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa and updated, but 352 should be new enough I guess. Although the PPA has 355 as well | 06:24 |
| Ryein | tried doing that previously | 06:25 |
| Ryein | ive been banging my head against this issue for awhile | 06:25 |
| Ryein | hateball, do you know in the Xorg log what does "compiled for 4.0.2" mean? | 06:26 |
| Ryein | this is what it says right after it loads the Nvidia module | 06:26 |
| Ryein | does that mean it is the wrong Xorg version or wrong kernel version? | 06:26 |
| deweydb_ | is there a way to dismiss an incomplete package install, so it doesn't keep trying everytime i apt-get upgrade | 06:27 |
| ubuntu748 | I am running Ubuntu 15.04 ....[1.079026] ACPI PCC probe failed starting version 219 | 06:27 |
| hateball | Ryein: I would assume kernel, since Xorg is 11 in 14.04 | 06:29 |
| spider_ | Thx for the help wileee that did it, boots and reboots fine now | 06:31 |
| wileee | spider_, Cool, you got pretty far by yourself and others help. | 06:32 |
| spider_ | Best thing is, the more errors I encounter the easier it gets to upgrade other pc's to linux | 06:32 |
| spider_ | only been using linux for a week now | 06:32 |
| wileee | gets easier with time for some, probably more than not | 06:33 |
| ubuntu748 | <wileee> I am running Ubuntu 15.04 ....[1.079026] ACPI PCC probe failed starting version 219 | 06:33 |
| motaka2 | Hello, if I upgrade my ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04 will I losse LAMP setting and so on? | 06:35 |
| hateball | motaka2: You shouldnt, but as always take a backup before upgrading | 06:36 |
| motaka2 | how to take a backup ? | 06:36 |
| somsip | motaka2: apache changes from 2.2 to 2.4 from 12.04 to 14.04 so you would need to change your sites-available files, but I did that upgrade and it was fine. Though I don't use LAMP - I use separate packages | 06:36 |
| motaka2 | somsip: How long would it take? I mean how much should download? | 06:37 |
| somsip | motaka2: depends how much you've got, how fast you can get it. Unanswerable | 06:38 |
| hateball | motaka2: issuing "do-release-upgrade" will prompt you for how much it needs to download etc, before you agree to it | 06:38 |
| hateball | !backup | motaka2 | 06:38 |
| ubottu | motaka2: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 06:38 |
| motaka2 | I already agrred it | 06:38 |
| ubuntu748 | Hello,hateball:I am running Ubuntu 15.04 ....[1.079026] ACPI PCC probe failed starting version 219 | 06:38 |
| motaka2 | Pray for me | 06:38 |
| hateball | motaka2: Personally I like to use clonezilla to backup an entire system | 06:39 |
| spider_ | Do you guys know if it is possible to automatically size different windows to like half of the screen | 06:40 |
| spider_ | if that makes sense? | 06:40 |
| hateball | ubuntu748: No idea about that, google gives http://askubuntu.com/questions/584248/boot-error-acpi-pcc-probe-failed | 06:40 |
| spider_ | like so half of the screen is firefox other half is w.e other window I have open | 06:40 |
| hateball | spider_: Are you using Unity, or some other window manager? | 06:40 |
| spider_ | Ubuntu Gnome 3.16 | 06:40 |
| Ryein | when i look in dmesg i get "module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel" when I dmesg | grep Nvidia | 06:41 |
| Ryein | is this why i get locked at boot | 06:41 |
| motaka2 | recentely I had to restart several times so I could see the ubuntu start page. Was that because I hade not upgraded for long time ? | 06:41 |
| Ryein | ? | 06:41 |
| hateball | spider_: You could use devilspie for instance, to create custom rules | 06:41 |
| phaidros | I have a weired problem. I just upgraded from trusty to wily and somewhere along the way gpg agent changed, hence my gpg key are not unlocked on login anymore. problem is, I forgot the passphrase for one rather (very!) important key and wonder if someone knowledgeable could help me understand if the passphrase might still be cached somewhere in seahorse agent or so, and if there is a chance to unlock that | 06:42 |
| phaidros | key .. | 06:42 |
| spider_ | hateball seems like holding down the super key (the windows logo one) and simply using the arrow keys seems to do the job | 06:43 |
| hateball | spider_: oh you meant manually | 06:45 |
| spider_ | yes indeed, sorry about that. | 06:45 |
| hateball | :) | 06:45 |
| spider_ | Next step, getting rid of the windows button :D | 06:46 |
| spider_ | on my laptop | 06:46 |
| auronandace | spider_: use a superman sticker, you can then truly refer to it as the super button | 06:47 |
| spider_ | hm, excellent idea! | 06:47 |
| motaka2 | from where I can run upgrade again ? | 06:47 |
| somsip | spider_: http://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=718 | 06:47 |
| samssammerz | spider_, I find it useful as a command key ... I usually either reserve it for VM controls or typing unicode chars | 06:47 |
| samssammerz | Sometimes I open my browser with it | 06:48 |
| samssammerz | and look at pictures. | 06:48 |
| spider_ | Oh, I do not want to get rid of it, just cover it up. | 06:48 |
| somsip | spider_: ^^^ | 06:48 |
| wileee | motaka2, what does 'lsb_release -a' show | 06:48 |
| samssammerz | I like to uncover it every now and then though, and peek at it. | 06:48 |
| samssammerz | It makes me giggle. | 06:49 |
| wileee | motaka2, Ah never mind, you are 12.04 | 06:49 |
| spider_ | Thanks for the link somsip | 06:51 |
| motaka2 | wileee: I am 12.04 | 06:51 |
| motaka2 | I want to upgrade to next mager version | 06:51 |
| motaka2 | lts | 06:51 |
| wileee | motaka2, You can set software & updates for lts update and your update gui will show you 14.04, can't guarantee any thing other than that. | 06:52 |
| spider_ | I was wondering, is it possible to have more processes running at once, like if I am installing something over the terminal it says the directory is in use | 06:53 |
| spider_ | if I try to install something else | 06:53 |
| wileee | spider_, you can only use one installer at a time, | 06:55 |
| spider_ | ok thanks | 06:55 |
| hateball | motaka2: you can run "do-release-upgrade" from the commandline as well, it is the same thing as the GUI does | 06:55 |
| wileee | terminal or software center or synaptic, you can make an install string in the terminal though | 06:55 |
| wileee | spider_, ^^ | 06:56 |
| cooldharma06 | hi all | 06:56 |
| cooldharma06 | i am trying to sync the ntp server but it not syncing time how to resolve this one | 06:57 |
| === newbie is now known as Guest95382 | ||
| optimistic7 | how to make alias avail in every directory | 06:58 |
| phaidros | how can I start seahorse-daemon as gpg-agent? | 06:58 |
| hateball | cooldharma06: How are you trying to sync? Can you run "sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org" in a terminal and see if that works? | 06:59 |
| cooldharma06 | hateball : "no server suitable for synchronization found" | 07:00 |
| hateball | cooldharma06: are you behind some firewall that blocks ntp ? | 07:00 |
| hateball | cooldharma06: ntp uses udp:123 | 07:00 |
| cooldharma06 | i have to tell to my n/w administrator to enable the port or any other way? | 07:02 |
| cooldharma06 | hateball.. ^ ..?!? | 07:03 |
| hateball | cooldharma06: well, perhaps you have an internal ntp server you could use? | 07:03 |
| hateball | cooldharma06: but yeah, talking to them is probably least painful :) | 07:04 |
| motaka2 | it says I have not enough diskspace | 07:04 |
| cooldharma06 | hateball: thanks dude i ll check with my admin.. | 07:04 |
| regum | hi | 07:05 |
| regum | I want to boot to the terminal, how can I do this? I'm running ubuntu 14 arm, and I can't use grubs | 07:06 |
| regum | I want to boot to the terminal, how can I do this? I'm running ubuntu 14 arm, and I can't use grubs | 07:14 |
| cfhowlett | regum, ask the arm channel | 07:15 |
| cfhowlett | !arm | 07:15 |
| ubottu | ARM is a specific (RISC) processor architecture used in a variety of applications such as handhelds and networkdevices. For more information see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM . For ARM specific support, stop by the #ubuntu-arm channel. | 07:15 |
| regum | I did | 07:15 |
| regum | there's noone there | 07:16 |
| TJ- | regum: do you want to do it manually at boot-time, or set it permanently? On which specific device? | 07:17 |
| regum | permanently | 07:17 |
| regum | raspberry pi 2 | 07:17 |
| TJ- | regum: Right, so that requires editing the boot-loader's command line. | 07:19 |
| regum | TJ: how would I go around doing that? | 07:20 |
| regum | about* | 07:20 |
| skweek | wondering why it might be that my wallpaper isn't changing when Im setting it | 07:20 |
| TJ- | regum: usually by running raspi-config to configure ub-oot | 07:22 |
| regum | TJ: I don't have raspi-config on ubuntu 14 | 07:22 |
| TJ- | regum: which Ubuntu image is installed? | 07:23 |
| regum | TJ-, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RaspberryPi | 07:24 |
| TJ- | regum: That's not a supported option I'm afraid; from a brief scan it appears to be a customised set of manual install steps created by some RasPi users. You'd need to ask them how the boot-loader config is supposed to be edited | 07:28 |
| TJ- | regum: It does say, under "2015-02-19": "Created legacy /boot/config.txt and /boot/cmdline.txt symlinks as these live in /boot/firmware" which infers there should be access to the boot-loader config manually | 07:29 |
| stemid | I can't get english messages when I run commands, I keep getting swedish. this sucks for googling and also ansible seems to be getting them which messes up parsing. I've tried prefixing LANG=C or LANG=en_US.UTF-8 before commands, if sudo I use sudo -E after but I keep getting swedish localized messages. | 07:30 |
| regum | TJ-, well, it used to boot to the command line until I installed lubuntu-desktop, which I needed at the time, isn't there a way to disable lubuntu's gui? | 07:30 |
| stemid | is there no way to temporarily reset this? | 07:30 |
| regum | stemid, that looks like a locale problem | 07:30 |
| TJ- | regum: Depending on which init system is installed. If it is regular Upstart then simply "echo 'manual' | sudo dd of=/etc/init/lightdm.override" *ought* to do it | 07:31 |
| regum | TJ-, thanks, I'll try that | 07:31 |
| stemid | regum: yes, the specific question is: how do I temporarily reset localization back to default when I run commands? in debian LANG=C prefix still works before commands but not in ubuntu 12.04 or 14.04 | 07:31 |
| TJ- | stemid: did you create the English locate ? | 07:31 |
| Viking667 | bwahahaha.... | 07:31 |
| stemid | TJ-: localectl lists C.UTF-8 and en_US.UTF-8 if that's what you mean. | 07:32 |
| rick_ | Hi All, I am interesting how ubuntu build so many packages and integrated them into an iso file. | 07:32 |
| rick_ | Is there any buildbot to do this? | 07:33 |
| TJ- | stemid: OK, just checking it was actually there. is LC_MESSAGES set the same as LANG? | 07:33 |
| cfhowlett | stemid, I've not seen that on the terminal, but I had the derndest time getting my calendar/clock to speak English rather than chinese. If you boot while online, the localization seems to auto generate a locale which is not cleaned up after you set language. try this: sudo purge locale-gen | 07:33 |
| stemid | no, I only tried LANG so far. | 07:33 |
| wileee | !uck | rick_ | 07:34 |
| ubottu | rick_: uck is a tool that helps you customise official Ubuntu Live CDs (including Kubuntu/Xubuntu and Edubuntu) to your needs. See http://uck.sourceforge.net/ | 07:34 |
| TJ- | rick_: See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage | 07:34 |
| TJ- | rick_: More generally, binary packages are built for all supported architectures on clusters of buildd (daemons) controlled via launchpad | 07:35 |
| stemid | TJ-: LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 instead of LANG did not help. | 07:36 |
| stemid | cfhowlett: you mean apt-get purge locale-gen? | 07:36 |
| stemid | that doesn't seem bright | 07:36 |
| cfhowlett | nope | 07:36 |
| cfhowlett | you're not GETTING anything | 07:36 |
| cfhowlett | you're SETTING | 07:36 |
| stemid | you said "sudo purge locale-gen" | 07:37 |
| stemid | I'm sure you missed something | 07:37 |
| Viking667 | i.e. export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 | 07:37 |
| cfhowlett | ... and you tried. right? | 07:37 |
| stemid | thanks Viking667 this helped LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 sudo -E update-alternatives --display editor | 07:37 |
| cfhowlett | stemid, wait 1 | 07:38 |
| stemid | cfhowlett: purge isn't a command I have installed. but it doesn't matter now because LC_ALL was what I needed to set. | 07:38 |
| cfhowlett | stemid: NICE! :) | 07:38 |
| Viking667 | stemid: and purge can often mean dpkg --purge, but tat's a rather lethal command n the wrong hands | 07:38 |
| cfhowlett | stemid, ah! Right! sudo locale-gen purge sorry for the error. it's a command used most unfrequently. | 07:39 |
| cfhowlett | INfrequently | 07:39 |
| Viking667 | ohhh, that's one I didn't know. | 07:39 |
| rick_ | Tj, Thanks! so uck can be used to gather binary packages into an iso. how about built so many packages form source to binary? | 07:42 |
| rick_ | Tj, oh, it's on launchpad, I miss your words.... | 07:43 |
| Gamoder_ | Hi everyone, does anybody know how I can copy files retaining their extended attributes from ext4 to ntfs and vice versa? I am using ubuntu 14.04 on an odroid (ARM architecture) | 07:48 |
| Gamoder_ | I would like to do it in a way I can use the UserDefinedFileAtributeView in Java | 07:48 |
| Gamoder_ | I can set extended attributes there both in NTFS and EXT4, but they get deleted when I copy the file | 07:49 |
| optimistic7 | how to make alias avail in every directory | 07:49 |
| somsip | Gamoder_: NTFS does not support permissions in the way that ext4 does | 07:49 |
| Viking667 | optimistic7: whoa. you don't half want to waste inodes. | 07:49 |
| Gamoder_ | somsip: I mean metadata information | 07:50 |
| Gamoder_ | and it is supported in some way because if I set a metadata attribute and move the file, the attribute is still there | 07:50 |
| Gamoder_ | it only disappears if I copy the file | 07:51 |
| spider_ | Hey, I have dual monitors. Do you guys know if it is possible to assign a workspace like workspace 3 to always be a specific monitor? | 07:51 |
| spider_ | I am on Ubuntu Gnome 3.16 | 07:51 |
| optimistic7 | i didn't get it Viking667 | 07:51 |
| somsip | Gamoder_: AFAICT, the same thing applies. It's an NTFS issue, not a ext4 issue | 07:51 |
| jill_ | hi, i am getting a 'mount.nfs: mount(2): Protocol not supported' while trying to mount an NFS share using version 4 | 07:51 |
| Gamoder_ | somsip: it's not an NTFS issue. If I copy the file on windows, the attributes ARE retained | 07:52 |
| somsip | Gamoder_: do you mean 'if I copy from ntfs to ntfs it works, but when I copy from ext4 to ntfs it doesnt'? | 07:53 |
| jill_ | mount -v -t nfs -o nfsvers=4 ipaddress:/share /mount-point , this is the command issued | 07:53 |
| Gamoder_ | ok, it seems to be a general linux issue. Metadata attributes seem to be never copied, even not for ext4->ext4 | 07:53 |
| Gamoder_ | somsip: if I copy from ntfs to ntfs on windows, it works. If I copy from ext4->ext4, ntfs->ext4, ext4->ntfs or ntfs->ntfs on linux it doesn't work even though attributes itself work | 07:54 |
| jill_ | and rpcinfo -p server-ipaddress shows version 4 also , '100003 4,3,2 tcp,udp6,tcp6,udp nfs superuser' | 07:54 |
| jill_ | any idea about this | 07:55 |
| regum | optimistic7, have you tried edditing bash_aliases? | 07:57 |
| regum | ~/.bash_aliases | 07:58 |
| Gamoder_ | ok, now i found out: There actually IS a way to copy files with there metadata, but you have to write cp --preserve=xattr src trg. Is there any way to make this the default? | 08:07 |
| Gamoder_ | (and why the hell isn't that the default?) | 08:08 |
| quackgyver | Is there a market for Linux games? | 08:16 |
| quackgyver | I.e. are there a lot of Linux gamers? | 08:16 |
| Gamoder_ | no | 08:16 |
| Gamoder_ | but there still is a market | 08:17 |
| Gamoder_ | but not a really large one | 08:17 |
| cfhowlett | !steam | valve would disagree with that assessment | 08:17 |
| ubottu | valve would disagree with that assessment: Valve have officially announced that they are developing Steam and are working with !ubuntu during their development, see http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/ for further details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve for install instructions, you can also join #ubuntu-steam for discussion. | 08:17 |
| regum | quackgyver, if you want to play games, windows is the way to go | 08:18 |
| Gamoder_ | ... there are only 1% or so linux gamers in steam. Yes, steam wants to increase that market in th future, but currently there are few gamers | 08:18 |
| regum | linux has an extremely long way to go | 08:18 |
| quackgyver | regum: I'm asking cos I'm trying to determine whether it'd be worth spending time porting my game to Linux | 08:18 |
| quackgyver | before releasing it | 08:19 |
| quackgyver | I'd say selling a few thousand copies would make it worthwhile | 08:19 |
| Gamoder_ | how many copies do you expect to sell? | 08:19 |
| quackgyver | But I have no idea how many Linux users actually game :P | 08:19 |
| regum | quackgyver, that depends on how difficult it would porting it be | 08:20 |
| quackgyver | Gamoder_: No idea. It's a pretty unusual and quirky game, but at the very least a few thousand copies on Windows and Mac. | 08:20 |
| quackgyver | regum: Yeah I'm guessing a few weeks. | 08:20 |
| Gamoder_ | I think you can expect to have about 0,5% or so sale increase if you do a linux version. More, if it is a game without great graphics | 08:20 |
| quackgyver | Gamoder_: Good logic. | 08:20 |
| Gamoder_ | no, you can't expect to double your sales if you support linux | 08:20 |
| quackgyver | Well, I figured that less popular market would warrant more time in the limelight | 08:21 |
| quackgyver | More exposure in Linux-related mags and such | 08:21 |
| quackgyver | which I assumed might weigh things up a little | 08:21 |
| Gamoder_ | sure | 08:21 |
| Gamoder_ | that's why I said "more if it is a game without great graphics" | 08:22 |
| quackgyver | Yeah. | 08:22 |
| regum | Noone I know uses Linux for entretainment, only work, so I don't know about that | 08:22 |
| quackgyver | Hm. | 08:23 |
| Gamoder_ | I used to play some games on linux | 08:23 |
| quackgyver | Yeah you're probably right. | 08:23 |
| Gamoder_ | but mostly OSS ones and games with wine | 08:23 |
| === newbie is now known as Guest41804 | ||
| Gamoder_ | so, I got another question: Is there a version of cp which has --preserve-attr (and maybe even -i) as default? | 08:25 |
| Gamoder_ | --preserve=xattr | 08:25 |
| TJ- | Gamoder_: no; set an alias if you want that as default. Linux doesn't enable it by default since not all file-systems support user_xattr and often are not mounted with that option | 08:27 |
| asdffff | anyone got a moment to answer a question? | 08:27 |
| asdffff | for i have a question to ask. | 08:28 |
| Gamoder_ | imho that's not a reason, but how would I set such an alias? | 08:28 |
| asdffff | if you dont mind. | 08:28 |
| cfhowlett | !ask | asdffff | 08:28 |
| ubottu | asdffff: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 08:28 |
| asdffff | ... | 08:28 |
| asdffff | are you serious. | 08:28 |
| asdffff | i didnt kno you would be so nice. | 08:28 |
| asdffff | thanks. | 08:28 |
| asdffff | voice mode on irc | 08:29 |
| Gamoder_ | if I add an alias to .bashrc, will it also be active for tmux sessions? | 08:29 |
| asdffff | does it activate voice services? | 08:29 |
| asdffff | +v..... | 08:29 |
| asdffff | you dont mave to answer. | 08:29 |
| asdffff | have..... | 08:29 |
| asdffff | not mave. | 08:29 |
| asdffff | ? | 08:30 |
| * soupnanodesukar has no voice, and would scream, but is mildly amused right now instead | 08:30 | |
| asdffff | cuase like, a text/voice program would be nice. | 08:31 |
| asdffff | though most text/voice based have turned into video games? | 08:31 |
| asdffff | when alot of society is going text/voice/video | 08:31 |
| soc | hi | 08:31 |
| asdffff | cuase you would think irc would support voice.... | 08:31 |
| asdffff | sup | 08:32 |
| soc | on my (xubuntu) system, most $XDG_ ... variables don't exist | 08:32 |
| soupnanodesukar | asdffff: check out mumble, xmpp, and if you're feeling brave, tox | 08:32 |
| soc | is this intentional, and how would I figure out whether some application writes a file to some other directory because of that? | 08:33 |
| asdffff | already did mang. | 08:33 |
| asdffff | started on video games before irc. | 08:33 |
| asdffff | its a long story. | 08:33 |
| soupnanodesukar | asdffff: well you can always install skype. :^) | 08:34 |
| asdffff | skype used to be free.....then it wasnt. | 08:34 |
| soupnanodesukar | soc: are you a programmer? perhaps you are thinking of inotify | 08:34 |
| asdffff | it was the like opposite of a miricle. | 08:35 |
| regum | skype isn't free? | 08:35 |
| regum | since when? | 08:35 |
| SiouxPlex | skype is definitely still free lol | 08:35 |
| somsip | !free | regum | 08:35 |
| ubottu | regum: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/licensing | 08:35 |
| wu1 | skype isn't free software ;) | 08:36 |
| regum | I meant gratis | 08:36 |
| SiouxPlex | not having to pay any money to use software | 08:36 |
| SiouxPlex | counts as free softwre | 08:36 |
| SiouxPlex | maybe not open source | 08:36 |
| SiouxPlex | but $0 is free | 08:36 |
| regum | yeah, you scared me for a moment | 08:37 |
| TJ- | SiouxPlex: $0 != free ... you give up other things in return | 08:37 |
| regum | what do you give in return for using skype? | 08:37 |
| soc | soupnanodesukar: it's more along the lines of "does app X dump things to $HOME because it is hardcoded, or because the $XDG stuff is not set?" | 08:37 |
| soc | regum: no data privacy? | 08:37 |
| SiouxPlex | data privacy...whats that? | 08:38 |
| soc | not having random people watching your conversations? | 08:38 |
| asdffff | skype is still free? | 08:38 |
| Gamoder_ | free software = open source software + possibility to modify and re-destribute. Freeware = costs nothing | 08:38 |
| asdffff | last time i checked......it kinda isnt....or they made it more complicated? | 08:38 |
| wu1 | free like free beer but not free like in freedom | 08:39 |
| soc | asdffff: free as in "they don't charge you for (basic) usage" | 08:39 |
| regum | you don't really want data privacy on skype, the same way you wouldn't talk about something confidential in a public space | 08:39 |
| Gamoder_ | still, I'd consider Skype as Freemium | 08:39 |
| asdffff | .. | 08:39 |
| SiouxPlex | if you want data privacy, encrypt everything | 08:39 |
| soc | sure, that's why it's not free. you are paying with your private data. | 08:39 |
| k1l | hey guys, can we put that "is it free opr just gratis" talk to #ubuntu-offtopic ? | 08:39 |
| asdffff | well im just saying, i have reason to believe that irc has voice features. | 08:39 |
| SiouxPlex | ................. | 08:40 |
| asdffff | meh. | 08:40 |
| asdffff | cause i think im banned from msn servers. | 08:40 |
| asdffff | for knowing about ubuntu or something. | 08:40 |
| asdffff | so im here like wasup. | 08:40 |
| SiouxPlex | talking about ubuntu on microsoft servers | 08:40 |
| cfhowlett | asdffff, can't imagine why. anyway; instead of "reason to believe" why not RESEARCH it and get the facts. | 08:40 |
| TJ- | asdffff: IRC does not have audio; mode +v (voice) is for channels that are set 'quiet' and therefore only channel operators and regular users with +v mode can talk in the channel | 08:40 |
| asdffff | though voice features are offered in many different programs. | 08:41 |
| asdffff | other than irc. | 08:41 |
| asdffff | and ill research. | 08:41 |
| asdffff | i'll | 08:41 |
| regum | What do you want voice irc for? | 08:42 |
| regum | wouldn't it be kinda chaotic? | 08:42 |
| soupnanodesukar | soc: most apps write to ~/.local and ~/.config, or ~/.<programname> and use $HOME to determine ~, or hardcode to /home/[username]/whatever. at the source of apps that I've read do. $XDG_* vars in my experience doesn't seem to come up very often. | 08:42 |
| asdffff | irc is text based. | 08:42 |
| soupnanodesukar | *at least | 08:42 |
| asdffff | or so it seems. | 08:43 |
| asdffff | not to mention if irc had video features. | 08:43 |
| asdffff | in one program. | 08:43 |
| regum | what? banned from msn for knowing about ubuntu? | 08:43 |
| asdffff | it MIGHT turn into the most popular program. | 08:43 |
| asdffff | or something. | 08:43 |
| cfhowlett | it's called "google hangouts" for all that | 08:43 |

| spider | Hello all. I am experiencing an odd audio bug. I have no sound until I go under sound and click on HDMI/DisplayPort3 -GM204 High Definition Audio Controller. Is it possible to set this to be enabled as default? Because I have to repeat this every time I start the computer or if I want sound in the other workspaces. | 08:47 |
| === anibal26 is now known as maferv | ||
| TJ- | spider: that's probably because the system has a built-in audio device which is set as the default | 08:48 |
| spider | But that one does not play any sound? | 08:48 |
| TJ- | spider: there's a way of changing the default sound device by setting the usually default device's index to -1 (so index 0 is free for the next device) | 08:48 |
| hateball | Is it not possible to do using the GUI volume applet? In kmixer (kde) you can just assign default channels etc | 08:50 |
| spider | Can this be found under /etc/pulse/default.pa | 08:50 |
| spider | hmm, not that I can see hateball | 08:51 |
| spider | however I have a profile in the bottom it is set to Digital Stereo (HDMI 3) Output | 08:51 |
| TJ- | It depends if you want it system-wide or just for PA. | 08:51 |
| curiousx | spider: did you install "pulse equalizer" ? | 08:51 |
| spider | system wide, I do not use any headsets (ruins my hair due) | 08:52 |
| spider | no, never heard of that curiousx | 08:52 |
| curiousx | spider: mvm :p | 08:52 |
| spider | I was just looking around in the etc foulder and found that default.pa file figured it might be useful | 08:52 |
| spider | folder* | 08:52 |
| TJ- | spider: see for example "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf" where several (removable) devices are already set iwth negative indexes so they don't become the default | 08:52 |
| TJ- | spider: if you identify the kernel driver for the internal sound device with "lspci -nnk" you can add that drive to the alsa-base.conf file in the same way | 08:53 |

| Axton | I have a problem with connecting to my ubuntumachine from ssh. It worked for 6 month, then after new firmware in my router it wont work. I have forwarded the port, but now when I am trying it comes with a Man-in-the-middle prompt. I have removed my known_host key from my laptop. But when I connect now, it ask if I wana add it, I type yes and it ask for a password... Dont know what that password is. It is not the user pw on the server, not the passphrase, | 08:58 |
| Axton | it just give me a Permission denied (publickey,password). | 08:59 |
| Axton | I have local acces (via ssh) to the server. | 08:59 |
| nabn | cfhowlett: shouldn't i be able to reconfigure/reinstall gnome-shell so that it gets reset to the default state? | 08:59 |
| spider | However TJ- I am not sure if the one I posted is the internal one | 08:59 |
| daftykins | Axton: so you're using key auth, not password auth? | 09:00 |
| cfhowlett | nabn, one would think so, but installing that elemenary stuff? not advised. I'd suggest you first purge gnome-shell then apt-get inststall --reinstall it | 09:00 |
| Axton | daftykins: I was using key auth yes | 09:01 |
| Axton | daftykins: Thats why im confused. It ask for a pw when I am connecting after the "fingerprint has changed" | 09:02 |
| nabn | cfhowlett: thanks. i'll give it a try | 09:02 |

| hateball | cooldharma06: It shouldnt matter, but if the drift is too large it might not work. So make sure the time is reasonably correct first | 09:06 |
| daftykins | apik: if the computers are new enough, you can connect them directly with just a cable - then you will need to either use their automatic IP addresses (APIPA) or to address them both as for example, 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 | 09:06 |
| apik | well, one of them is old, and... how to see my ip? | 09:07 |

| cooldharma06 | hateball but my server time is Wed Oct 14 14:54:55 IST 2015 but in my client time is-> Wed Oct 14 09:25:29 UTC 2015.. time is not syncing | 09:25 |
| Ben64 | DISCLAIMER: If you hit kernel or firmware bugs (which are plenty with not widely-tested features such as ATA Secure Erase) this procedure might render the drive unusable or crash the computer it's running on. | 09:25 |
| Ben64 | not worth it to try really | 09:25 |
| daftykins | there are known working ones, we weren't asked about a Lenovo :) | 09:26 |
| xubuntuJonathan | @Eric my bad, http://termbin.com/1jzf | 09:26 |
| daftykins | stkim1: unless that's text i don't see it happening, why so small? | 09:26 |
| Ben64 | you said there is nothing wrong with it, theres plenty wrong with it, its a pointless command if it can brick your drive | 09:26 |
| deweydb_ | guy's i'm stuck in post installation script failure | 09:26 |
| deweydb_ | i'm loosing my mind | 09:26 |
| deweydb_ | i can't finish installing, or uninstall the package. | 09:27 |
| daftykins | Ben64: yeah cause it's worked fine in my first hand experience, i'm going to let it go now if you can too... obviously you're always right | 09:27 |
| EriC^^ | xubuntuJonathan: ok, type sudo efibootmgr -v | nc termbin.com 9999 | 09:27 |
| Ben64 | deweydb_: pastebin the error(s) | 09:27 |
| deweydb_ | http://pastie.org/10480526 | 09:27 |
| Ben64 | daftykins: your experience isn't everyone or everything | 09:27 |
| EriC^^ | xubuntuJonathan: you might need to run sudo apt-get install efibootmgr | 09:27 |
| deweydb_ | Ben64: I added the suggested varnish repo's so i could get varnish 4.1 on ubuntu 14.04. The problem i'm having is the post installation script does a few things: 1) service varnish start. 2) service varnishlog start. | 09:28 |
| daftykins | what a poor challenging attitude you have, Ben64 | 09:28 |
| cfhowlett | +1 efiboot, xubuntuJonathan | 09:28 |
| deweydb_ | but 1) modifies a file and sets its ownership to root, and permissions of read only. | 09:28 |
| deweydb_ | and 2) tries to read that file, and fails. | 09:28 |
| deweydb_ | here's a better pastie, one sec. | 09:28 |
| Ben64 | daftykins: i don't understand why you're arguing? it has the potential to cause issues, don't say it doesn't | 09:28 |
| cooldharma06 | hateball is anything i am missing.?? if you are free means plz guide me | 09:29 |
| deweydb_ | Ben64: http://pastie.org/10480535 | 09:29 |
| daftykins | Ben64: nevermind, this is a waste of time with you. | 09:29 |

| stemid | I have an ubuntu with dnsmasq on localhost and nameserver 127.0.0.1 in resolv.conf. the dnsmasq hijacks all queries except a few exceptions. one exception is ubuntu.com for apt. but I don't think it's enough because I get size mismatch errors for apt packages when I do apt-get upgrade. | 09:30 |
| Ben64 | deweydb_: contact the maintainer/developer about their scripts | 09:31 |

| Morou | anyone make this ? | 09:32 |
| EriC^^ | xubuntuJonathan: try sudo apt-get install efibootmgr pastebinit | 09:32 |
| EriC^^ | xubuntuJonathan: then sudo efibootmgr -v | pastebinit | 09:32 |
| lotuspsychje | Paolas: you didnt asnwer daftykins yet... | 09:32 |
| lotuspsychje | stemid: maybe something for the ##networking guys? | 09:33 |
| deweydb_ | Ben64: tried that, no luck. is there some way i can modify the install / uninstall script | 09:33 |
| xubuntuJonathan | @Eric, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12779463/ | 09:33 |
| hateball | cooldharma06: well if they are set to different timezones you cant "sync" like that | 09:34 |
| stemid | lotuspsychje: nevermind, I found the issue. it's trying to resolve other domains than ubuntu.com during the apt-get upgrade. so clearly I need more dns exceptions. | 09:34 |
| stemid | or allow localhost | 09:34 |
| lotuspsychje | stemid: glad you made it! | 09:34 |
| Ben64 | deweydb_: go for it | 09:34 |
| deweydb_ | where would i find it? | 09:34 |
| cooldharma06 | oh great hateball.. let me try with same timezone.. | 09:35 |
| EriC^^ | xubuntuJonathan: ok, type sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt | 09:35 |
| xubuntuJonathan | @eric, yep done | 09:35 |
| Ben64 | deweydb_: you'd probably have more luck fixing the permissions or whatever | 09:35 |
| EriC^^ | xubuntuJonathan: type sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi | 09:35 |
| Ben64 | deweydb_: or force removing the package | 09:35 |
| xubuntuJonathan | @Eric, affirmative, done | 09:36 |
| EriC^^ | xubuntuJonathan: for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done | 09:36 |
| deweydb_ | problem with force removing it, is it gets stuck on the pre-removal script | 09:37 |
| Ben64 | deweydb_: sudo dpkg --force-all -P <package> | 09:37 |

| EriC^^ | xubuntuJonathan: type sudo nano /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/efi/20microsoft | 09:55 |
| Okay123 | did it | 09:55 |
| EriC^^ | xubuntuJonathan: then in the middle there's a bootmgfw.efi , replace it with bootmgfw.efi.backup | 09:55 |
| EriC^^ | Okay123: type xargs -a 514n sudo apt-get -y install --reinstall | 09:56 |
| xubuntuJonathan | @Eric, okay the value of the path variable? | 09:57 |
| EriC^^ | xubuntuJonathan: no, it's after bootmgfw=$(item_in_dir bootmgfw.efi | 09:58 |
| xubuntuJonathan | @Eric, oh sorry i see it, changed it | 09:58 |
| Okay123 | dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' | 09:58 |

| hvoigt | Hi, I've googled a bit but did not find anything about this: How do I configure the screen settings before login? I have three Monitors from which one is a TV and switched off most of the time. But the login Window keeps appearing on the TV rather than the other screens. | 10:00 |
| EriC^^ | xubuntuJonathan: ok, did it mention picking up windows boot manager? | 10:00 |
| xubuntuJonathan | @Eric got a warning about 'setting GRUB_TIMEOUT to a non-zero value when GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is set is no longer supported.' relevant? | 10:01 |
| EriC^^ | xubuntuJonathan: that's fine | 10:01 |
| xubuntuJonathan | @Eric, it found linux and initrd image, no mention of windows | 10:01 |
| EriC^^ | xubuntuJonathan: ok, try grep bootmgfw.efi.backup /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/efi/20microsoft | 10:02 |
| EriC^^ | i think it should have mentioned it even if windows isn't installed | 10:02 |
| tuor | hi, in the bash man at ["chapter" INVOCATION, paragraph 10, sentence 2] there is written "...it reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc and ~/.bashrc...", why? | 10:02 |
| tuor | (ubuntu 14.04) | 10:03 |
| xubuntuJonathan | grep gives 'bootmgfw=$(item_in_dir bootmgfw.efi.backup "$efi/$microsoft/$boot")' | 10:03 |
| xubuntuJonathan | @ERic | 10:03 |
| EriC^^ | xubuntuJonathan: ok, seems ok, anyways type exit | 10:03 |
| EriC^^ | then try rebooting | 10:03 |
| Seveas | tuor: that repetition seems to be a bug :) | 10:04 |
| xubuntuJonathan | @Eric rebooting from SSD right, not live USB? | 10:04 |
| EriC^^ | xubuntuJonathan: yeah | 10:04 |
| tuor | Seveas, report it? Or will this be fixed in future? | 10:04 |
| xubuntuJonathan | @Alright, ill be back in a moment | 10:04 |
| Okay123 | flash pluggin installed, procesing triggers for libc-bin | 10:05 |
| Seveas | tuor: it's a bug in a debian or ubuntu patch, so you'll need to report it on launchpad. | 10:05 |
| Seveas | specifically, debian/patches/man-bashrc.diff is broken | 10:05 |
| Okay123 | Hey Eric^^ are you there ? flash player installed | 10:07 |
| EriC^^ | Okay123: ok, it's finished? | 10:07 |

| cobradabest_ | Hey, does anybody know how to enable flash on Chromium? | 10:13 |
| cousteau | is it still possible to use Wubi, or is that project already dead? a friend of mine needs to install Ubuntu natively (well, Xubuntu) but repartitioning might be too much trouble | 10:13 |
| daftykins | cobradabest_: yeah, install pepperflashplug-nonfree | 10:15 |
| daftykins | oops | 10:15 |
| daftykins | !info pepperflashplugin-nonfree vivid | 10:15 |
| ubottu | pepperflashplugin-nonfree (source: pepperflashplugin-nonfree): Pepper Flash Player - browser plugin. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.7ubuntu1 (vivid), package size 10 kB, installed size 69 kB (Only available for i386; amd64) | 10:15 |
| daftykins | ^ that one | 10:15 |
| Okay123 | Its done , what now @Eric^^ | 10:15 |
| Okay123 | processing triggers for libc-bin | 10:15 |
| cousteau | ...actually, if it were possible to just run natively a VMWare virtual machine file, that would be nice... | 10:16 |
| EriC^^ | Okay123: ok, try sudo service lightdm restart | 10:16 |
| cobradabest_ | daftykins: Does that automatically enable it on Chromium? | 10:17 |
| joelr_ | Hey, could anyone help me? I think my server`s being used for a DDoS in that I`m getting LOADS of outgoing traffic, iftop says its coming from my ntp | 10:18 |
| joelr_ | which ive switched off | 10:18 |
| daftykins | cobradabest_: yeah, you probably want to close and re-open if you already had it open during install | 10:18 |
| joelr_ | It`s racked up 500GB in about 24 hours | 10:18 |
| daftykins | joelr_: nasty, sounds like an amplification attack | 10:18 |
| Okay123 | shit man, it happened ! :) Would you plz summarise where was the prob and what I (you) did ! | 10:18 |
| cobradabest_ | daftykins: Okay, it works now, thanks so much! | 10:18 |
| daftykins | Okay123: that language isn't appropriate here | 10:18 |
| Okay123 | I got my home account back , Thanx a lot bro @Eric^^ | 10:19 |
| Okay123 | Sorry | 10:19 |
| EriC^^ | Okay123: no problem :) | 10:19 |
| joelr_ | daftykins, so i hear, but i've already turned off ntp [i think] and its still showing up [and my control panel says my bandwidth usage is still increasing :/] | 10:19 |
| daftykins | joelr_: well, identify what the data is (this might be more relevant in #ubuntu-server or ##networking by the way) | 10:19 |
| joelr_ | i`ll take a look over there, cheers | 10:20 |
| EriC^^ | Okay123: the packages weren't installed and configured, and that's about it | 10:22 |
| Okay123 | Hey Eric would you plz summarize where was the prob and what you did ? | 10:23 |
| tuor | Seveas, I don't have time now, to read the terms and conditions stuff now. It's a minor documentation bug, that's to much to read for now. | 10:24 |
| tuor | (because I need to create an account to report bugs). | 10:25 |
| Axton | daftykins and EriC^^: Still having SSH problems. I have tried to generate new key on my laptop but still no acces. I have checked /var/log/auth.log but I cant see anything here out of the normal. | 10:25 |

| cousteau | uh... wubi.exe seems to still be available! could someone explain me if it's still supported or what? | 10:28 |
| cfhowlett | !wubi | cousteau | 10:29 |
| ubottu | cousteau: Wubi was a way to install Ubuntu from within Windows, but it is no longer supported in recent versions of Ubuntu and was never well maintained even for Ubuntu 12.04. Do not use Wubi. See !install for other options for installing Ubuntu. | 10:29 |
| cousteau | cfhowlett, it seems available on http://releases.ubuntu.com/trusty/ though | 10:32 |
| cfhowlett | available. NOT recomended | 10:33 |
| cousteau | (although "Do not use Wubi" seems like a good indication that Wubi shouldn't be used) | 10:33 |
| cousteau | I don't get why it was discontinued; that option was rather good for people who wanted more than a virtual machine but not quite a binding compromise | 10:34 |

| OnkelTem_ | Hi all. I forgot to configure the swap at installation, so I have now the space allocated (a separate partition) but it is not mounted, neither it has a record in /etc/fstab. What is the canonnical way to enable it on Ubuntu? | 10:50 |
| billbillbill | In Ubuntu everything is Canonical. | 10:50 |
| OnkelTem_ | okay | 10:51 |
| OnkelTem_ | even unconfigured swap, I c | 10:51 |
| cfhowlett | !swap | OnkelTem_ | 10:51 |
| ubottu | OnkelTem_: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 10:51 |
| mcphail | OnkelTem_: just remember that swap is often more of a hindrance than a help on modern machines with lots of RAM | 10:52 |
| theptr | hi, i want to install latest APCu on my ubuntu 14.04 server but i get an error . if someone could help me that would be nice | 10:52 |

| Anthaas | Is it possible to send an email through Thunderbird without invoking any UI? | 10:59 |
| Anthaas | So that I can ssh into a machine, and have the machine send an email once a script is finished, for example | 11:00 |
| teemo | Anthaas: You don't need Thunderbird to do that http://tecadmin.net/ways-to-send-email-from-linux-command-line/ | 11:00 |
| Anthaas | I can't configure the MTA etc, because it is sat behind a firewall | 11:00 |
| teemo | you don't need to configure a mail server, just use the same ones you're using in Thunderbird | 11:01 |
| teemo | If you can send a mail from your network with Thunderbird, you can do it with sendmail too | 11:01 |
| atezai | how can i create my own chat room? | 11:01 |

| swenzel | any ideas? | 11:04 |
| wumpus | Kartagis: a LUKS encrypted file system on it? | 11:05 |
| hateball | swenzel: well, it works ootb in 15.04, but perhaps he wants to use LTS for a reason? | 11:05 |
| Kartagis | wumpus: no | 11:06 |
| swenzel | hateball: because I told him to :D he is new to linux | 11:06 |
| hateball | swenzel: Does he not have an ethernet cable to perform updates? | 11:06 |
| swenzel | neither cable nor plug | 11:07 |
| hateball | :\ | 11:07 |
| swenzel | also no wifi dongle | 11:07 |
| OnkelTem_ | mcphail, Ben64: yeah, thanks | 11:07 |
| hateball | swenzel: How did they install in the first place without no internet connection? | 11:08 |
| swenzel | hateball: from external harddrive | 11:08 |
| OnkelTem_ | mcphail: I've an exciting device - Asus' transformer T300L where I installed Ubuntu w/o serious problems. But the great fail is that it has RAM sealed in! Crap 4Gb, and I can't extend it | 11:08 |
| hateball | swenzel: I see | 11:09 |
| OnkelTem_ | I've got* | 11:09 |
| hateball | swenzel: Well I would just put 15.04 on there and re-install. Otherwise you need to grab a mainline kernel for 14.04 | 11:09 |
| OnkelTem_ | mcphail: and after 1 hour of using chrome it ran out off it and I had to reset | 11:10 |
| swenzel | hateball: so you think 15.04 is already stable enough? | 11:10 |
| hateball | swenzel: I personally do, yes. For my desktops I always use the latest, only use LTS on servers. But of course it depends what you use the machine for | 11:11 |
| swenzel | hateball: okay, I'll tell him to install 15.04 then. thank you :) | 11:14 |
| hateball | swenzel: We use those models at work, so I know it should just work :) | 11:14 |

| Axton | In setting up ssh for pw free acces. When I have copied my p key to server and connect, it ask me if I wanna add server to known_host. I type "yes" and it then ask for a password. Which password is it asking for? User pw on server? Passphrase for key? user pw on client? | 12:10 |
| k1l | on client | 12:11 |
| Seveas | Axton: which key did you copy and how? Can you pastebin the output of this command on the server: ls -laR ~/.ssh | 12:11 |
| Langley | I don't have any /etc/default/grub ... do you know if it's different on ARM, mcphail ? | 12:12 |
| stimoceiver | whats the preferred driver for my Radeon R9-290? With the default driver, apps like youtube or mplayer are definitely not running accelerated. I see two packages, fglrx and fglrx-updates. Whats the deal? | 12:12 |
| k1l | Langley: ARM is a total different setup. | 12:12 |
| mcphail | Langley: no idea about ARM, I'm afraid | 12:13 |
| Axton | Seveas: http://pastebin.com/2J2EGEh4 | 12:13 |
| k1l | Langley: better ask in #ubuntu-arm for help and name the exact hardware you use etc. | 12:13 |
| wumpus | with ARM you have a bootloader (e.g. uboot) instead of grub | 12:13 |
| Langley | Ugh... okay, thanks | 12:13 |
| wumpus | this differs per device unfortunately, some are supported out of the box, some need manual fidgeting | 12:13 |
| mcphail | Langley: I have an old ARM device running Debian, but I have never been brave enough to tackle uboot :( | 12:14 |
| Seveas | Axton: ok, those permissions look good. And the content of authorized_keys is the same as your local public (not private!) key? | 12:14 |
| Langley | Well I think I found it... it's configured in /boot/config.txt | 12:15 |
| wumpus | messing with uboot can brick your device, so if there is no way to recover it's not recommended | 12:15 |
| stimoceiver | whats the preferred driver for my Radeon R9-290? With the default driver, apps like youtube or mplayer are definitely not running accelerated. I see two packages, fglrx and fglrx-updates. Whats the deal? or should I use the stuff from the xorg-edgers ppa??? Cuz I definitely end up needing crap like RandR on some of my monitors... | 12:15 |
| wumpus | (eg a serial console, jtag, some vendor-supported to re-flash the firmware over USB, ...) | 12:16 |
| Axton | Seveas: Yeah, im pretty sure. I have used ssh-copy-id to copy it over... | 12:17 |
| Axton | Seveas: I have ssh acces to server without pw on local network, but if I try with ip from ISP it ask for my password... | 12:17 |
| Seveas | ah, the server is behind a nat? Is the port forwarded properly? | 12:18 |
| Axton | Seveas: I can see in the debug output that it connect | 12:18 |
| Axton | Seveas: Ill just make a pastebin with ssh -vvv output | 12:19 |
| Seveas | Axton: but is it connecting to the right thing? | 12:19 |
| Seveas | does the connection attempt show up in /var/log/messages or /var/log/auth.log on the server? | 12:20 |
| Axton | Seveas: http://pastebin.com/HwNmk2Dd | 12:21 |
| Axton | Seveas: I am not sure. I have changed loglevel to VERBOSE in sshd_config but im not sure its in the log. Only entry for the local connection is in the log... I think, not sure..! | 12:22 |
| Seveas | debug1: Remote protocol version 2.0, remote software version dropbear_0.46 | 12:23 |
| Seveas | I bet that's the ssh on your router | 12:23 |
| Seveas | which really shouldn't be made publicly accessible, you should fix that first... | 12:24 |
| Axton | Seveas: When i forwarded the port on my router it told me that the router ssh was moved to another port | 12:24 |
| Seveas | Axton: looks like it lied. | 12:26 |
| Axton | Seveas: I think your right... I just got into my router and removed ssh. Now i just get a connection refused... | 12:26 |

| C_minus | what can i type into terminal to get a readout of wverything my WIFI card is doing? because i have hella problems connecting (has been trying to connect for hours) | 14:02 |
| lotuspsychje | C_minus: ubuntu version and wifi chipset please? | 14:02 |
| C_minus | 14.04 intel 7260 | 14:03 |
| lotuspsychje | C_minus: try a tail -f /var/log/syslog and tail -f /var/log/dmesg and play around with wifi | 14:03 |
| hateball | C_minus: You'll want a recent kernel such as in 15.04 for 7260 to work properly. I have the same chipset | 14:04 |
| OerHeks | C_minus, were you here before ? intel 7260 should be supported OOTB in 15.10 | 14:04 |
| OerHeks | oh, 15.04 too | 14:05 |
| C_minus | Yes i was. Funny, no sooner do I ask you guys about it, it connected straight away. I hate computers! | 14:05 |
| OerHeks | magic irc room | 14:05 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 14:05 |
| cfhowlett | gremlins ... | 14:05 |
| hateball | the kernel in 14.04 can have problems unless you disable N or AC | 14:05 |
| hateball | but if you run 15.04 and onwards, everything works glorious | 14:06 |
| hateball | C_minus: ^ | 14:06 |
| lotuspsychje | hateball: thats good to know, just for that chipset? | 14:06 |
| hateball | lotuspsychje: Well surely other chipsets can have malfunctioning drivers, I just happen to know about 7260 since I have it myself | 14:06 |
| lotuspsychje | hateball: ok nice | 14:07 |
| hateball | lotuspsychje: but it's not uncommon for various chipsets using iwlwifi/iwlagn to struggle, forcing you to disable N | 14:07 |
| lotuspsychje | hateball: does your card show firmware version? might be interesting to compare with him | 14:07 |
| C_minus | hmmm, that's interesting to know. i have been reluctant to upgrade to 15.04 because my laptop came with 14.04, and it has "long term support". | 14:07 |
| hateball | lotuspsychje: Sadly I am at work now, I have that chipset at home | 14:08 |
| lotuspsychje | kk | 14:08 |
| cfhowlett | C_minus, current version is 14.04.3 ... | 14:08 |
| hateball | Well the kernel/modules are still "old" in .3 | 14:08 |
| lotuspsychje | hateball: so upgrading trusty kernel could be usefull in this case? | 14:10 |
| cfhowlett | can't hurt to try??? | 14:10 |
| C_minus | How come I can't just install some driver that will make it work properly? I got the driver package from the Dell website, but it contains about 30 different .dpkg files whose names are just garbled strings of numbers and letters. Dell want you to use their "dell recovery tool" to load the driver package onto a stick (but this doesn't work). | 14:10 |
| C_minus | I might as well just upgrade to 15.04 for all the help dell has been. | 14:11 |
| lotuspsychje | C_minus: you can try few things now, 14.04.3 or kernel upgrade or 15.10 | 14:11 |
| cfhowlett | C_minus, sudo apt full-upgrade will grab new kernels and package upgrades | 14:12 |
| C_minus | did i mention - it only gives me this problem at home. it connects to all other networks just fine. even its Win7 partition connects fine, as well as all other computers/phones/tablets. | 14:13 |
| MonkeyDust | am doing that now with 15.10 vm | 14:13 |
| hateball | C_minus: yes, it depends on how the SSID you're broadcasting is set up. | 14:14 |
| hateball | C_minus: That's why it can work properly if you disable N speeds, but then... you wont have N speeds | 14:14 |
| C_minus | sometimes the other machines struggle to connect to the home router for a while, but they come around. the androids say "acquiring IP address...", the Macs and the Win7s show a little exclaimation mark over their WIFI icons... but Ubuntu just tries and fails. | 14:15 |
| hateball | C_minus: If other devices struggle as well you might want to look into upgrading the routers firmware | 14:15 |
| C_minus | hateball yeah trouble is, the rest of the fam need the N speeds. | 14:15 |
| hateball | C_minus: Yes, but you can disable N in the intel driver in ubuntu | 14:16 |
| C_minus | i think its running latest. lousy D-Link router came free from the ISP. | 14:16 |

| iamrohit7 | in freya, i get graphical glitches when changing the wallpaper or when in multasking mode, when using midori. I use a Dell Vostro 1400. How can I fix my problem? I know this isn't for elementary but there isn't much activity in #elementaryos | 14:17 |
| C_minus | hateball oh i've tried that fix, didn't work so well for me | 14:17 |
| cfhowlett | iamrohit7, not supported here. not ubuntu. sorry. | 14:17 |
| hateball | C_minus: I see, well then either grab a mainline kernel, or upgrade to 15.04+ I am afraid | 14:17 |
| iamrohit7 | cfhowlett: its based on ubuntu, isn't it? | 14:18 |
| C_minus | while i'm here, what can I do about screen tearing while playing videos etc.? | 14:18 |
| cfhowlett | iamrohit7, it is. but it is NOT ubuntu and not supported here. | 14:18 |
| cfhowlett | !elementary | 14:18 |
| ubottu | Elementary OS is an Ubuntu derivative which is supported in their IRC channel #elementary on irc.freenode.net - http://elementaryos.org/ for more information on this distribution. | 14:18 |
| hateball | C_minus: what GPU chipset are you using, and what browser? | 14:18 |
| iamrohit7 | cfhowlett: there isn't much activity there. | 14:19 |
| hateball | C_minus: or is it tearing in video players outside the browser? the usual fail is flash, is why I am asking | 14:19 |
| lotuspsychje | iamrohit7: feel free to install an ubuntu version from topic | 14:19 |
| cfhowlett | iamrohit7, if you need support, I strongly urge you to install an official ubuntu flavor. if elementary OS doesn't support you - perhaps there's a cosmic message for you rhtere | 14:19 |
| C_minus | not just browser. I have intel integrated graphics and NVidia Quadro. | 14:19 |
| cfhowlett | !flavors | iamrohit7 | 14:20 |
| ubottu | iamrohit7: !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. | 14:20 |
| hateball | C_minus: For nvidia there are ways to prevent tearing globally, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA#Avoid_tearing_with_GeForce_500.2F600.2F700.2F900_series_cards | 14:20 |
| iamrohit7 | lotuspsychje: i currently use ubuntu. i want to switch. and then there are all those problems. | 14:20 |
| hateball | C_minus: But if you're using optimus so the intel card is used.... I am not sure how you set that up | 14:20 |
| lotuspsychje | iamrohit7: if you have troubles on ubuntu desktop, come to us | 14:21 |

| Che-Anarc | Is it something I'm doing wrong? | 14:52 |
| daftykins | why use aptitude since it doesn't come with a default install? | 14:55 |
| daftykins | are you expecting users to install it before running your script? | 14:55 |
| thebwt | Howdy folks, is there a document out there that details packaging destination directory best practices? like when to use /sbin vs /usr/sbin ? | 14:55 |

| thebwt | mcphail: I know about that one, was more curious about ubuntu specific best practicies | 14:57 |
| mcphail | thebwt: Ubuntu tends to stick to the FHS | 14:57 |
| thebwt | though they should be similar :) | 14:57 |
| thebwt | roger | 14:57 |
| OerHeks | Che-Anarc, in that aptitude line, what software are you trying to install ? hard to give answer in this hypothetical question | 14:58 |
| mcphail | thebwt: basically, if a binary might be needed before disks are mounted it has to go in /bin or /sbin. If it can wait for disk mounting, it goes in /usr/bin or /usr/sbin (if provided by the package manager) or /usr/local/bin (if provided by the user self-installing) | 15:00 |
| elysium_ | exit | 15:00 |
| Che-Anarc | Orphis, ```aptitude -q -r -f -y install libperl5.14 libsnmp15``` | 15:00 |

| Che-Anarc | SchrodingersScat, is that an OSX device your trying to do it from out of interest? | 15:03 |
| SchrodingersScat | Che-Anarc: no, both are ubuntu 15.04 | 15:03 |
| OerHeks | Che-Anarc, -q & -y ? that bites AFAIK | 15:03 |

| thebwt | SchrodingersScat: can the remote server 'ssh localhost' well? | 15:07 |
| thebwt | that's a timeout and typically a firewall thing | 15:07 |
| thebwt | if it's can ssh localhost, and then ssh <public IP>, then we know the ssh server is runnign fine and that it's a network thing | 15:08 |

| regum | daftykins, if you're interested, adding 'single' to the kernel parameters did it | 15:29 |
| a1_ | does installation take twice as long since your write to 2 hardrives | 15:30 |
| a1_ | ? | 15:30 |
| mcphail | DWSR: tar doesn't compress. But you can pipe teh output of dd through bzip2 or gzip | 15:30 |
| daftykins | regum: and you gained access to change that via editing /etc/default/grub or...? | 15:30 |

| ubottu | tuelho: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin.

| k1l | erkburgles: somehow some process in the past did change the user/group settings and didnt remove the lock file properly that blocks other processes to change stuff their. we removed that lock file and now it works again | 18:19 |
| === rajak is now known as Guest77060 | ||
| erkburgles | ok ty | 18:19 |
| canaima__ | fgmddjdmjgs | 18:19 |
| erkburgles | where did you see that that had happened? | 18:19 |
| sortkwik | Well there's not much to tell. When I use the normal GUI shudown, it takes around 20 minutes to shutdown. When I use terminal and shutdown through there, it's immediate. Any insight or suggestions on why this is so? | 18:19 |
| erkburgles | or "we" | 18:19 |
| k1l | erkburgles: look at the error when trying to install postgresql: something like "could not lock file...." | 18:21 |
| sortkwik | bazhang: would the shutdown command be routed differently from command prompt to the graphical shutdown? | 18:21 |
| EriC^^ | sortkwik: yeah | 18:22 |
| sortkwik | Eric^^: so if this is the case, why does shutting it down graphically take so long? | 18:23 |
| EriC^^ | i have no idea | 18:23 |
| sortkwik | Eric^^: is there somewhere I can look or modify to do this? | 18:23 |
| sortkwik | Hmmm... | 18:23 |
| EriC^^ | when you mean it takes long, do you mean after the ubuntu logo and dots come? | 18:23 |
| EriC^^ | or until they come? | 18:23 |
| sortkwik | It sits at the shutdown screen, for a long time. Like 20 minutes. | 18:24 |
| EriC^^ | press esc and it should say what it's trying to do or waiting for | 18:24 |
| sortkwik | Tried that, nothing popped up. | 18:24 |

| OerHeks | flab, not sure it will, maybe someone else here knows? | 18:32 |

| cobradabest | wileee: No, there isn't... | 19:06 |
| EriC^^ | sortkwik: ok | 19:06 |
| sortkwik | EriC^^: So I have no idea why it did it now. I've tried restarting many times and that's the fastest shutdown graphically. Was it due to the command you recommended me to put in?? | 19:07 |
| wileee | cobradabest, No idea what the issue is, might help if you name the graphic hardware. If this is a PPA cinnamon you would have to contact them, if that is the fault. | 19:07 |

| wileee | cobradabest, Sure, just a heads up on the support model here is all. | 19:10 |
| OerHeks | vacho, so you want ssh login to an account you have no access to? that is called hacking? | 19:11 |
| vacho | OerHeks: I have root access. | 19:11 |
| OerHeks | vacho, why do you not have access to that account? that makes no sense. | 19:12 |
| cobradabest | wileee: Well, I'm kind of in a panic right now, I don't know why... | 19:12 |
| wileee | cobradabest, You will probably get this fixed, I would assume you still have other desktops; which give you some time to follow the right lead. | 19:14 |
| cobradabest | wileee: I hope so. Do you have any suggestions on what to try to fix it? | 19:16 |
| wileee | cobradabest, Not really, other than if you're sure it is a ppa cinnamon, contact them is our standard response. | 19:17 |
| wileee | and sure it is that desktops issue | 19:18 |

| doomlord | can any spin of ubuntu with its' desktop environment do this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMsqA4k0J34 | 19:25 |
| doomlord | very similar to the way desktops work on mac OSX; microsoft have copied it. i was under the impression linux worked differently to avoid legal issues | 19:25 |
| OerHeks | doomlord, maybe/maybe not, how should we know? | 19:25 |
| k1l | doomlord: virtual desktops have been on linux desktops since very long time | 19:26 |
| doomlord | yes they have | 19:26 |
| doomlord | and the feature has been evolved. I've seen expo/scale. | 19:27 |
| k1l | doomlord: is there any specific support issue? for general talk please join the #ubuntu-offtopic channel | 19:27 |
| doomlord | wheres' a good place for this question | 19:27 |
| Pici | doomlord: whats the question? | 19:29 |
| doomlord | is there a way to get this specific behaviour in ubuntu. (the desktop overview seen in OSX mission control and now windows 10). .. amongst the various array of plugins and desktop environments | 19:30 |
| Pici | doomlord: compiz has been able to do that for a few years now/ | 19:31 |
| doomlord | i've seen expo and scale - is that what you're talking about | 19:31 |
| Pici | doomlord: there are a number of compiz plugins, of which those are two. | 19:32 |
| Pici | doomlord: the folks in #compiz might be able to suggest which ones will give you functionality like that | 19:32 |
| doomlord | (so has someone written a plugin that does this: simultaneously show desktop thumbnails *and* current desktop windows) | 19:32 |
| Pici | I don't know, I don't use a desktop regularly, but the #compiz people would be the ones most familiar with their plugin offerings | 19:33 |
| doomlord | the point is the overview in mission-control and OSX combines desktop&window overview in one screen | 19:33 |
| doomlord | ok | 19:33 |
| doomlord | the second question is: | 19:33 |
| cobradabest | Does anybody know a way to do system restore points on Ubuntu? | 19:34 |
| cobradabest | Systemback doesn't work properly for me. | 19:34 |
| doomlord | Do legal issues prevent the linux community sharing such a plugin? I assumed thats' why it never appeared before. Seeing Win10 now questions that view. | 19:34 |
| Pici | doomlord: I would doubt it. | 19:34 |

| lorenzo522 | hello | 19:35 |
| zerowaitstate | doomlord: it's possible there's a cross-licensing agreement that lets them do things another party wouldn't be able to. Software patents are dumb to start with, so trying to work out logically why a particular patent applies is the path to madness | 19:36 |
| cobradabest | So does anyone know a good restore point program for ubuntu? | 19:36 |
| doomlord | zerowaitstate thanks . | 19:37 |
| zerowaitstate | cobradabest: LVM snapshotting? | 19:37 |
| mcphail | cobradabest: are you using btrfs? | 19:37 |
| k1l | doomlord: the compiz plugin is called window spread | 19:37 |
| cobradabest | zerowaitstate: Well, whatever the equivalent to windows system restore is. | 19:37 |
| zerowaitstate | cobradabest: windows system restore doesn't really do what it advertises | 19:38 |
| cobradabest | zerowaitstate: Well it's always worked for me... | 19:38 |
| zerowaitstate | cobradabest: you've been fortunate | 19:39 |
| k1l | doomlord: press super+w or super+shift+w | 19:39 |
| mcphail | cobradabest: if you use btrfs, you can snapshot your filesystem at any point. If you don't use btrfs you will need to use something like LVM | 19:39 |
| cobradabest | mcphail: I don't know what btrfs or lvm are... | 19:39 |
| doomlord | k1l i've seen that and its' related, but last time I tried it it wasn't the specific behavior i'm after - unless its' gained options lately. In ubuntu unity out of the box, you had super+W for windows, or super+S for desktops. The beauty of OSX is its' one shortcut for both, and you can move windows between desktops on that, and slide between them | 19:41 |
| TR3M3R3 | hi everyone... somebody speak spanish? | 19:41 |
| mcphail | cobradabest: then you are probably not using them :) Btrfs is a filesystem you can use instead of the default (ext4). LVM is a technology for managing partitions and filesystems which you set up at install time | 19:41 |
| Pici | !es | TR3M3R3 | 19:41 |
| ubottu | TR3M3R3: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 19:41 |
| Piperanci | Helloo | 19:42 |
| cobradabest | mcphail: Oh, okay, so if I reinstall, I could choose btrfs instead of ext4? | 19:42 |
| mcphail | cobradabest: if you want to be able to simply snapshot your filesystem, it is a good choice. But it is not as well tested as ext4 | 19:42 |
| Piperanci | I have an app running but it's not showing in the panel, just in the task manager. What can I do? | 19:43 |
| k1l | doomlord: well, you can still move the apps on ctrl+s | 19:43 |
| mcphail | cobradabest: personally, I think the advantages outweigh the risks, but you may disagree | 19:43 |
| cobradabest | mcphail: It sounds like a better idea, at least I can do risky stuff on btrfs. | 19:44 |
| doomlord | k1l i realise its' "useable", it certainly isn't 'bad'. I just have a very specific preference and would be surprised if I was unique in that | 19:44 |
| Piperanci | nvm I opened it somehow | 19:45 |
| mcphail | cobradabest: there are a few apps which will automatically make snapshots on btrfs when you use the package manager etc, but I have never found them to be much use. I create the snapshots manually as I need them | 19:45 |
| doomlord | k1l recently in linux I have used XFCE/xbuntu more, sticking with a simpler environment... but I also enjoy using the mac | 19:45 |
| k1l | doomlord: there is a huge amount of users that have never used OSX before. so they might not be used to that like you are. | 19:46 |

| cobradabest | mcphail: Can you make schedules for backups? | 19:46 |
| mcphail | cobradabest: you can make schedules from crontab, if you wish | 19:47 |
| mcphail | cobradabest: these are not "backups", though. They are "snapshots" | 19:47 |
| k1l | doomlord: so "it needs to be exactly like OSX" is not what most users or developers might think in the first place. | 19:47 |
| MonkeyDust | doomlord only OSX is exactly like OSX | 19:48 |
| doomlord | k1l whilst I'm no mac fanboy, in this instance I think apple got it right. v1 of mission control was terrible but v2 fixed it (app bundles). Windows10 seems to have copied the behaviour. Whats so good about it is you get an overview of everything, but with recent windows larger , and older ones (on other desktops) smaller; its not eye-candy - the information is readable | 19:48 |
| doomlord | MonkeyDust oh sure - i'm not after the specific *look*, but the specific *behaviour* i.e. what information is visible at one time, and the transitions | 19:49 |
| SchrodingersScat | Che-Anarc: -o ServerAliveInterval=2 -o ServerAliveCountMax=1 had no effect | 19:49 |
| doomlord | Windows10 replicates that, but with a windows 'look' rather than an apple 'look' (and slightly different options) | 19:49 |
| k1l | doomlord: well, than suggest bugfixes or whishes to the desktop enviroments. but it might not be seen like you do from other users/devs | 19:50 |
| jancoow | Hi guys | 19:51 |

| jancoow | I really need python3 but i can | 19:52 |
| OerHeks | doomlord, if the behaviour is exactly the same, we would have legal issues. a 'start' button is very expensive | 19:52 |

| zerowaitstate | sortkwik: cd to untarred source tree, "sudo auto-apt run ./configure", then do "make && sudo checkinstall". That helps deal with the dependency hell that comes with building C stuff from source. | 20:21 |
| zerowaitstate | sortkwik: before that will work though, you need to "sudo apt-get install auto-apt build-essential checkinstall" | 20:22 |
| sortkwik | zerowaitstate: so run "checkinstall" after I run "make"? | 20:22 |
| sortkwik | Got it | 20:22 |
| zerowaitstate | sortkwik: then "sudo auto-apt update && sudo auto-apt updatedb && sudo auto-apt update-local" | 20:22 |
| zerowaitstate | sortkwik: then do the cd to untarred... | 20:22 |
| sortkwik | zerowaitstate: Already ran "./congifure" and now installing said programs you stated earlier then I will run "make" and then "checkinstall" | 20:24 |
| zerowaitstate | sortkwik: so ./configure didn't produce errors? | 20:24 |
| sortkwik | zerowaitstate: None | 20:24 |
| zerowaitstate | sortkwik: k. usually when compiling from source on debian, you often are missing "-dev" packages, which contain the header files (.h) for libraries you are compiling against | 20:25 |
| sortkwik | This will be my first compiled program from source code, I'm excited. | 20:25 |
| dickGraySon | so what is this about | 20:25 |
| zerowaitstate | sortkwik: auto-apt is designed to automatically fetch the necessary -dev packages during the ./configure step | 20:25 |
| sortkwik | zerowaitstate: We'll see how it pans out and go from there. Would the errors have been glaring in all the scrolling text? I didn't see anything. | 20:26 |
| zerowaitstate | sortkwik: however, if ./configure isn't producing errors, then means auto-apt isn't necessary | 20:26 |

| zerowaitstate | sortkwik: on a generic linux system, make install directly copies the necessary files to the default install location (this is normally set up by configure, and it is normally under /usr/local by default). However, checkinstall analyzes the locations where the "make install" script is trying to copy stuff and instead makes a .deb package out of it | 20:28 |
| dickGraySon | remote command via ssh in background? | 20:28 |
| k1l | dickGraySon: use screen | 20:28 |
| Pici | or tmux | 20:28 |
| zerowaitstate | sortkwik: if you don't use checkinstall, and do it the generic linux way, you have to keep the source around, so you can run "make uninstall" later to remove the software. the deb package makes that unnecessary, as you can use dpkg or other tools to remove it | 20:29 |
| brother_ | hi all, somebody help me doing this from command line | 20:29 |

| sortkwik | zerowaitstate: That makes sense, sort of. Still a bit of a newb at this but we're all here to learn!! | 20:29 |

| brother_ | not to remove them all | 20:30 |
| dickGraySon | @ | 20:30 |
| zerowaitstate | sortkwik: as I learned on freenode a day or two ago, you can apparently do something like "make -j 2" to run multiple build tasks in parallel, but you have to be careful when you use it | 20:31 |
| reisio | brother_: uniq would do it, though it'd also remove other duplicate consecutive lines | 20:31 |
| zerowaitstate | sortkwik: compiling is CPU bound, so the more cores you can use, the faster you will get done | 20:31 |
| reisio | brother_: another way: perl -0pe 's/\n\n+/\n\n/g' | 20:31 |
| brother_ | aha reisio, and how can I apply that to all the files in the directory, and they keep their original name after the removal of the blank lines? | 20:32 |
| reisio | brother_: how big are these files? | 20:34 |
| sortkwik | zerowaitstate: Yeah, I have 4 cores but not a super speedy cores. toshiba satellite radius 11 | 20:35 |
| reisio | brother_: I'd probably do something like: mkdir ../cleaned; ls | while IFS='' read -r item; do uniq "$item" > ../cleaned/"$item"; done | 20:35 |
| brother_ | reisio they vary from 4 KB to 150 KB in some cases, but norm is 30 kb let's say | 20:35 |

| sortkwik | zerowaitstate: My monitor shows all 4 cores are chugging away. | 20:35 |
| s1dr0 | hola a toc from italy | 20:35 |
| reisio | brother_: fine to make a duplicated 'cleaned' dir, then | 20:35 |
| zerowaitstate | sortkwik: well, never mind then | 20:35 |
| reisio | if they were huge files, you'd have to modify them and delete the original basically simultaneously, which you have to be more careful about | 20:35 |
| reisio | copying to another dir is simpler, and requires less care :) | 20:35 |
| reisio | brother_: what's nice about that loop is you just make the ls output what you want, if there are exceptions | 20:36 |
| reisio | brother_: so "ls | while IFS=''..." could be instead "ls | egrep -iv 'not wanted|also not wanted' | while IFS=''..." | 20:36 |
| reisio | lots of other ways you could do it, though | 20:37 |
| sortkwik | zerowaitstate: Yeah, I am not going to try any parallel builds. | 20:37 |
| brother_ | reisio but in that expresion, where do you refer to the files inside the directory? | 20:40 |
| reisio | brother_: 'ls' | 20:40 |
| reisio | you'd run it from in the dir | 20:40 |
| reisio | if the output of 'ls' is all the files you want to process, and nothing more, then it's good to go | 20:41 |
| reisio | mkdir ../cleaned; ls | while IFS='' read -r item; do uniq "$item" > ../cleaned/"$item"; done | 20:41 |

| regum | how can i fix this? | 21:08 |
| daftykins | jancoow: i meant to the channel really and not me, i know nothing about python :) | 21:08 |
| daftykins | regum: sounds like an issue that's come about through upgrading. | 21:09 |
| regum | daftykins, what do you mean' | 21:09 |
| k1l | regum: can you give more details? | 21:09 |
| regum | yeah | 21:10 |
| regum | I have a raspberry pi 2, and it boots as root | 21:10 |
| regum | i can't ssh into it until I log in as a user | 21:10 |
| regum | it says 'connection refused' | 21:10 |
| blakdog | Do the ubuntu lts versions able to run as a live cd ? | 21:10 |
| bekks | regum: Because the root accoutn is disabled in Ubuntu, by default. | 21:11 |
| daftykins | blakdog: run as live for testing, yes | 21:11 |
| regum | which is really inconvenient, as it means I have to plug a keyboard every time I turn it on | 21:11 |
| blakdog | thanks | 21:11 |
| daftykins | regum: so reconfigure SSHd | 21:11 |
| jancoow | daftykins: oh haha sorry | 21:11 |
| regum | how can i do that? | 21:11 |
| regum | what should I change? | 21:12 |
| jancoow | https://jancokock.me/f/83ccf someone can help me reinstalling python3? | 21:12 |
| jancoow | its broken | 21:12 |
| k1l | regum: ask in #ubuntu-arm if that sort of setup is common on that arm image. its not on pc | 21:12 |
| regum | ok, I'll try there | 21:12 |
| regum | thanks | 21:12 |
| daftykins | jancoow: also i meant to pastebin what happens when you try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall <pythonpackage>" :) | 21:12 |
| regum | there's noone there | 21:12 |
| regum | I just remembered I sked a while ago and there have been no answers | 21:12 |

| daftykins | regum: sure you didn't typo the channel? | 21:12 |
| daftykins | heh, figures. | 21:13 |
| regum | I mean, there are people, but they seem to be afk | 21:13 |
| regum | or just ignoring the channel | 21:13 |
| daftykins | you can't say they're not there in 5 seconds of joining | 21:13 |
| regum | it's been close to 10 min now | 21:14 |
| regum | and it's always kinda empty, it's not my first visit | 21:14 |
| daftykins | and i guess your issue is mission critical :) | 21:14 |
| k1l | regum: welcome to irc | 21:14 |
| daftykins | regum: so to be sure, you're ssh'ing as username@host when you try after the Pi boots up? | 21:14 |
| regum | no, just ssh hostname | 21:15 |
| regum | the users have the same name | 21:15 |
| regum | that way it's less of a hassle | 21:15 |
| daftykins | ok so it's not trying root@ to begin with, that's good | 21:15 |
| daftykins | it's possible SSHd isn't even running until your user logs in then | 21:16 |
| regum | is there any way i can set it up so that it logs into my user at boot time? | 21:16 |
| regum | yeah, it's probably something like that | 21:16 |
| regum | because after I log in it works perfectly | 21:16 |
| bekks | regum: Ensure your raspi isnt in sleep mode or something, and wakes up only upon the user logging in. | 21:16 |
| k1l | regum: is it encrypted? | 21:16 |
| regum | it isn't encrypted | 21:17 |
| regum | and it isn0t in sleep mode | 21:17 |
| bekks | How do you know, if you arent logged in? :) | 21:17 |
| regum | I can work on it as root without logging in if it's connected to a display | 21:17 |
| regum | I connected a display before to check | 21:17 |
| daftykins | check SSHd is configured to run at boot | 21:17 |
| bekks | ah :) | 21:17 |
| regum | that's how I know | 21:17 |
| regum | how can I check that? | 21:18 |
| k1l | i still dont understand what the issue is | 21:18 |
| daftykins | don't know. | 21:18 |
| daftykins | it's a weird Pi image for ARM so all of my usual bets are off | 21:18 |
| daftykins | what about that boot text file from last time? | 21:18 |
| regum | k1l, my pi boots as root, and it refuses ssh connection until i log into it from the same pi | 21:18 |
| daftykins | does it mention SSHd? | 21:18 |
| k1l | regum: no. it boots as nothing. | 21:19 |
| regum | i don't think it did | 21:19 |
| regum | I'll check | 21:19 |

| jancoow | yes it is | 21:21 |
| daftykins | and that bug doesn't have an answer yet? | 21:21 |
| regum | can't I add some sort of script at boot time that inputs 3 commands? | 21:21 |
| regum | exit | 21:21 |
| regum | username | 21:21 |
| regum | passwrd | 21:21 |
| regum | that logs me in | 21:22 |
| daftykins | not really. | 21:22 |
| k1l | regum: well, you boot into single user mode then. that is not loading the regular system then | 21:22 |
| k1l | regum: so better use text. | 21:22 |
| daftykins | ah yeah regum did that yesterday | 21:22 |
| jancoow | last time i asked it here also because "python.h" was missing. Then someone helped me downgrading some stuff to get it extally updated. Since then the module threading is missing for some reason | 21:22 |
| daftykins | i did suggest text but you did single instead, mmm | 21:22 |
| daftykins | so there you go. | 21:22 |
| daftykins | k1l: good catch! | 21:22 |
| regum | but i can't use grubs | 21:22 |
| regum | that's why | 21:22 |

| Silentloud | ty, first time using | 21:23 |
| daftykins | regum: i'm saying specifically USE the parameter 'text' - it's not good enough what you have now. | 21:24 |

| k1l_ | tase: server doesnt mean "webserver". | 23:38 |
| tase | well luckly for me its not a server its just a personally owned spare computer | 23:38 |
| Ben64 | what you're describing is a server. a computer you ssh into to perform tasks without a gui | 23:39 |
| k1l_ | yep, server doesnt mean it needs to run on a dual cpu xenon mainboard with 100GB ram. | 23:39 |
| Ben64 | you could turn the gui off on your already existing 14.04 install and be done with it already | 23:39 |

| tase | server doesnt mean it needs to run Ubuntu 14.04 server LTS either :) | 23:40 |
| === test is now known as Guest30513 | ||
| tase | i mean if im not going to use apache, why use the server iso over the minimal iso | 23:41 |
| Ben64 | k1l_ already said server isn't for apache | 23:41 |
| === Guest30513 is now known as steelbrain | ||
| k1l_ | tase: mini.iso is very very minimal. server is basically the general ubuntu base system like the desktop but without a desktop. | 23:42 |
| Ben64 | i'm done with this though, i don't know why i bother trying to help people who don't want it | 23:42 |
| k1l_ | tase: if you think your way is the only way: then do it. but dont ask us about it and then be picky when we suggest another way | 23:43 |

| tase | well i wasnt asking for help with picking a distro in the first place | 23:43 |
| k1l_ | tase: you wanted us to guarantee that everything will be fine. so we suggested not to change everything then but just make the actual setup work like the task is. | 23:44 |
| tase | if i pick server or mini my question is the same, can a /home partition be reused in different instals without .config files spoiling ? | 23:44 |
| k1l_ | tase: yes, but since from 14.04 to 15.04 program version changed, too. that can be an issue. not a common issue but no one will guarantee that for you. | 23:45 |
| k1l_ | tase: that is why we suggested not to change everything in the first place. | 23:45 |
| k1l_ | and an issue could be that the configs in the old /home rely on services/packages that are not installed on the mini system. and therefor produce errors | 23:46 |
| tase | well im on Desktop atm,going to Server would change things | 23:46 |
| k1l_ | tase: you dont listen at all, do you? | 23:47 |
| tase | maybe i misread | 23:47 |
| k1l_ | !text | tase | 23:47 |
| ubottu | tase: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 23:47 |
| tase | when did you even mention that | 23:48 |
| k1l_ | a server is a system that doesnt have a desktop (running) and is maintained through ssh in most cases. so a desktop ubuntu made not to start the desktop is a server. and the server.iso is the same bases system than the desktop.iso just without a installed desktop | 23:48 |
| tase | so which part didnt I listen to btw ? | 23:51 |
| k1l_ | you still combine a server with running apache | 23:51 |
| tase | combine a server with running apache ?i dont understand | 23:52 |
| k1l_ | tase: you asked, we suggested a different solution. its your choice what you do now | 23:52 |
| tase | ... yes ? i asked about /home files between ubuntu installs and you told me to install Ubuntu Server, then got personal when I said the version didnt really matter. | 23:55 |
| tase | this feels like a nice misunderstanding | 23:56 |
| jhutchins | tase: Why don't we start over, what was your original question? | 23:56 |
| === perseus is now known as Guest37296 | ||
| jhutchins | tase: I think k1l_ misunderstood what you were asking. | 23:57 |
| k1l_ | you can make that install into a server like i told you now several times | 23:57 |
| k1l_ | if you want to reinstall at all costs. then go for the server install. | 23:57 |
| k1l_ | if you want to do it your way. well, then do it. | 23:57 |
