It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [07:27] HackSmash: it just takes time to load the right click options or something [07:27] slow response right click sounds like a buzy system [07:28] OerHeks: yea, but i've been running this ubuntu install for over 2 years now [07:28] and it's very heavily customized [07:28] and it has hundreds of packages installed on it [07:28] Twirl, top or htop interminal can show what is taking cpu time [07:29] OerHeks: yea i use it all the time [07:29] it isnt showing anything different from before [07:29] number of services is more important than installed packages [07:30] wilee, ubottu, yes I've seen that wiki but following their instructions I seem to get this error still === Schwarzbaer_ is now known as Schwarzbaer [07:31] bajopickin, do you see the word legacy in the right menu? [07:31] OerHeks: can't see anything suspicious except for chrome that uses all resources like a black hole [07:31] #5 yes [07:32] but the delay in showing the right click options also happens when chrome isnt running so [07:32] Twirl, chrome keeps running in the background [07:32] wish i could just reinstall everything but it would take a whole day of work and im not in the position to do so at the moment [07:32] maybe if i were running an SSD it woldnt be like this [07:33] OerHeks: nope i checked in htop [07:33] wileee, in kubuntu in terminal (from the live usb right now) I DON'T SEEM ABLE TO LAUNCH BOOT REPAIT [07:33] Twirl, do you use Chrome or Chromium? [07:33] Spider_: chrome [07:33] Spider_: but its unrelated to the issue [07:33] bajopickin, Not sure why you would. [07:34] wileee, I thought I'd need to use boot repair to switch to UEFI or something [07:34] wileee, what's the part of the wiki you wanted me to read [07:35] bajopickin, Nah, what you need I think is someone to look at your setup and help you through is all, things have changed. You could fry your windows you don't flail about, I'm not your help however.

[07:53] Schwarzbaer, I think the link is better dconf-editor or a command, I use the ubuntu tweak tool myself on occasion, it is a 3rd party however.

[08:42] i was trying to write some string using command line and i used tee command but it overwritten all the old data, is there any thing that i can revert to old one? [08:44] dionysus69, yes, for the owner of that /home [08:44] aavrug: you can get the old file from your backup. If you don'y have a backup, it is gone [08:44] OerHeks: thanks :) [08:45] mcphail, but i didn't created any backup and that was my /etc/hosts file [08:45] aavrug: Well, you'll need to recreate it [08:45] mcphail, but there was too many contents in it and i really don't remember all of them [08:46] aavrug: never run a sudo command unless you know what it does, and back up _everything_ [08:46] mcphail, that means it is gone no solution for that? [08:47] any cache or somethin? [08:47] *something [08:47] aavrug: no perfect solution. You can run the "mount" command to see what is mounted just now, and work out how to recreate your fstab [08:49] mcphail, i run the mount command but not understanding what it is returning can you please guide me a little bit? [08:51] aavrug: run "mount | nc termbin.com 9999" and post the URL here [08:52] mcphail, http://termbin.com/to4b [08:53] aavrug: OK, give me 2 minutes [08:57] aavrug: http://termbin.com/eryr should be enough to get you booting again. But you may want to replace the "/dev/sd?" bits with the UUIDs of your partitions [08:57] what's that mean?

[09:04] AciD`, 14.10 is end of life. upgrade to a supported release. [09:04] aavrug: what is in your /etc/hosts just now?

The latest LTS version of Ubuntu is !Trusty (Trusty Tahr 14.04) [09:05] thanks for the info [09:07] aavrug: the preferred way to _append_ to a system file is with "echo whatever | sudo tee -a /path/to/file".

[09:10] mcphail, i haven't tried the recory part yet just created a new /etc/hosts file :) [09:10] aavrug: ignore all that filesystem stuff I was talking about above.

[11:38] p4trix, there's probably an easier way, but I'd install ccsm, and then you'll find it in it under "General Options", "Desktop Size" tab. [11:39] Ok. Thank you. I ll do that [11:43] mcphail, it worked yesterday [11:43] this has happened earlier too [11:44] Hey guys, I've just installed Ubuntu 15.04, but I'm unable to connect to any wireless network.. It does find networks, after a while asks for the WPA password, then connects for a minute after it gives up.. Any idea? Intel Wireless 3160 card appears to be supported fine [11:45] And I havent installed the driver by hand, only in this windows [11:45] Schwarzbaer, everything worked perfectly. Thx [11:45] Don't think the laptop is listed in DHCP assignments on the router too, if that helps [11:45] p4trix, you're welcome. Well, that was easy. :) [11:50] my Ubuntu experience this morning: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/505832/VID_20151016_084928.mp4 [11:51] that's a cool movie [11:53] Also, interstingly it shows the firmware is rtl8411-2_0.0.1 [11:53] Shouldn't that be the iwlwifi? [11:56] Oh wait that was LAN :P === ubuntu is now known as Guest5813 [12:01] Alright, I suck at googling :p - turning off bluetooth makes wifi work [12:05] Hey all [12:05] hi [12:30] Hello. I'm curious to know if it takes more space to have 1000 blank files with names, "a", "b", "c" ... or to have one file that has 1000 lines with "a", "b", "c" ... [12:31] mirbeau: ext4 blocksize is 4kb by default [12:32] mirbeau: which means a file consisting of 1byte data will still use 4kb [12:32] Interesting [12:32] So therefore one big file, containing all those lines is more efficient [12:32] yes [12:33] Do you happen to have a resource on that or did you already know it? [12:37] mirbeau, that's sort of common knowledge for advanced Linux users. However, there's also further considerations to take into account when scaling up. For one, with small files, you'd also run out of inodes quite quickly. OTOH, having a single large file could be bad for seeking content. And then there's filename uniqueness. [12:38] So while by asking such an abstract question you have learned about the file system, if you want to solve an actual problem, you might want to take a step back and explain your purpose. :) [12:40] Schwarzbaer: Too bad they left before they got your message [12:40] messages, even [12:40] ... Well, ####. === boxmein_ is now known as boxmein [12:41] So now I have no chance of discussing SQL-DBs vs HBase vs MongoDB, and might even have to get some actual work done. [12:43] my uh [12:43] my laptop doesn't want to sleep [12:43] what do [12:43] no /swap = no sleep [12:46] boxmein: "cat /proc/meminfo" and "free -m" in a pastebin [12:46] weirdly enough [12:47] sudo pm-suspend workee [12:47] hey guys. lately when i perform apt-get upgrades i get a lot of prompts for input. for example http://paste.ubuntu.com/12798401/. it is like it more'd the file and i have to press q to quit/continue. any idea why? [12:47] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12798414/ [12:49] boxmein: ok so you've just about got enough room for RAM in swap as long as no open programs are creeping into swap [12:49] daftykins: sudo pm-suspend works, though [12:49] perhaps it's as simple as sleep being disabled. [12:49] daftykins: also, after unsuspending from pm-suspend, it doesn't show a login screen [12:49] yea that might be it [12:50] what graphics hardware and driver have you got there? [12:50] daftykins: i3-380m (intel something) and a nvidia gt630m sideloaded via optimus [12:51] daftykins: weirdly enough both worked from a fresh install, so I haven't touched the driver/x config too much [12:51] first gen core iwhatevers is original Intel Integrated [12:51] daftykins: https://gyazo.com/cd8a6674c0ac333169e03b5445a6a8d3 [12:51] 'sideloading' is putting apps via file onto smartphones, heh - nothing to do with optimus. [12:53] hello [12:53] i have high cpu temps in ubuntu [12:53] Nicholas: and not elsewhere? [12:54] the idle cpu temp in ubuntu is 60 c [12:54] no on windows its like 34 c [12:54] ok, useless without knowing the processor [12:54] intel dual core e2140 [12:54] lga 775 [12:54] 1.6hz [12:54] ghz* [12:54] Nicholas, sensors | pastebinit [12:55] adapter- isa adapter core 0 = 57c , core 1 = 58c [12:56] check 'top' for load from software [12:56] all apps are closed [12:56] already did that [12:56] Nicholas, my readout shows (high = 84 degrees, critical = 100 degrees) 50 seems doable [12:57] 60 [12:57] Nicholas: how are you reading the temp in both OSs? [12:57] i know , but 60 c idle is not good for cpu. on windows its 34 c . i don't want to damage my processor [12:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/12798489/ < Nicholas [12:57] i have dual boot [12:57] it's perfectly fine for a processor actually. [12:59] !fans | Nicholas, seems to be within normal range but just in case: clean your vents, install fans app [12:59] !fan [12:59] fan is Control the fan on/off http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-12058.html [12:59] on windows 7 running prime 95 for like an hour the maximum temps it reaches is 60 c on 100% cpu usage. and on ubuntu , it boots to 60 c at idle ? isn't it strange [12:59] cfhowlett i have just installed a new cooler [12:59] again you must share how you're reading these values. [13:00] new thermal paste [13:00] i am using hwmonitor on windows and lmsensors in linux [13:00] coretemp is great under Windows [13:00] i have coretemp too [13:01] i use both hwmonitor and coretemp [13:01] on the forum , most people are saying those temps are completely abnormal [13:02] show us an "sensors | pastebinit" [13:02] some are getting 38-41 c on idle on pentium d processors [13:02] i am really confused [13:02] well don't be, because nobody's setup is the same [13:02] i get 60 on idle with an i7 and open source amd drivers, with the prop drivers it climbs to 70c [13:02] at this point i'm going to have to direct you toward ##hardware because as much as i love discussing hardware, it's off topic for this channel really. [13:03] i suggest you boot a live session too and rule out your install. [13:03] i have a dell that's duocore or something and it idles at 40c [13:04] heh just to concern you more, i have an E6750 @ 26 deg C :) [13:04] EriC^^ 40 c is pretty good [13:04] I have a screen command and need to wait for it to finish before sending a log file…I'm using wait but it does not wait for the screen command to finish..any ideas? [13:04] and mine is idling at 60 c + [13:04] Nicholas: my hp idles at 60c too [13:04] battery life is like 2 hours, the dell has like 7 hours of battery life [13:05] but it's way slower though [13:05] and doesn't handle vm's that well [13:05] Nicholas: 60'c isn't dangerous though, i think 70-80 is pushing it [13:06] that's an idle temp [13:06] i guess it depends on the specs of the laptop though and stuff [13:06] Nicholas: yeah i know, if im running something intensive it can go to 70-80c [13:06] hi [13:07] hay [13:07] Nicholas: this is my current "sensors" output, idling http://paste.ubuntu.com/12798577/ [13:07] that's my idle cpu temp http://uploadpie.com/x5WFI === ZuLu is now known as Guest71185 [13:08] EriC^^ those are load temps? [13:08] b [13:08] that's the current temp [13:09] daftykins these are my temps http://uploadpie.com/x5WFI [13:09] idle temps [13:10] my dear Tux, an image of text. [13:10] . [13:10] Nicholas: i've already made many suggestions, go try them. [13:11] my cooling system isn't dusty or clogged [13:11] either its a bug or ubuntu doesn't likes my processor [13:12] i have tried almost all things and that's why i am here [13:12] i have even closed few backgorund services , still no luck [13:13] hi, how should home folder permissions be? chmod and chown [13:13] Nicholas: what's ps aux | sort -k 3 | pastebinit give ? [13:14] Nicholas: but you haven't booted a live session like i said, so not much point me helping :) [13:14] I don't know how to enlarge a partition when the unallocated space is to the left. I have an extended partition on sda2, within which is an ext4 partition on sda6, and a swap partition on sda5. Halp. [13:14] atralheaven_: user = your user, group = your group, chmod 770 [13:14] Nicholas, isn't 65 c a good temp? [13:14] what is the default group? [13:14] milkcow: type sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999 [13:14] daftykins ok will try that too [13:14] atralheaven_: type id [13:15] milkcow: can you make a screenshot on gparted and show it on imgur? [13:15] Spider 65 c at 'idle' isn't a good temp. though its great full load temp [13:16] \quit [13:16] nc is netcat, but what's 9999? [13:16] i really like ubuntu, but this temp issue is irritating me [13:17] milkcow: it's the port of the termbin.com service [13:17] I see [13:17] Here's the results: http://termbin.com/q58z [13:17] Screenshot forthcoming [13:17] Nicholas: do the fans come on? [13:18] milkcow: i think the easiest method would be to just create a new primary partition with the 50gb, and then rsync your ext4 partition there, [13:18] EriC^^ i have a 3 pin cpu fan, so its almost running at its 100% rpm. be it lower or higher temp it always runs at its full potential. u know what i mean [13:18] then extend it over the whole disk leaving some space for swap [13:19] The screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/OBfV2LA.png [13:19] milkcow: and adjust /etc/stab with the proper uuid and reinstall grub from a live usb [13:19] */etc/fstab [13:20] Nicholas: "uname -r" ? [13:20] do u people also provide support for lubuntu ? [13:20] Would I need a new swap partition in the new 50gb partition? [13:20] Nicholas: yes [13:20] Nicholas, ask [13:20] 3.2.29 [13:20] i don't lubuntu , just asking [13:20] i am using ubuntu 12.04 LTS [13:20] precise one [13:20] ah well that's ancient [13:20] use* [13:20] boot a 14.04 live session [13:20] Hello i have a problem with "hung_task_timeout_secs" http://pastebin.com/xuzz2ES2 What can i do with this? [13:21] milkcow: first create the 50gb partition, copy the data over preserving permissions and everything, then delete the extended one, and then extend the primary one, leaving enough space at the end for a swap partition === Guest is now known as omrib [13:21] EriC^^, I was wondering if you should try the acpi_osi parameter === omrib is now known as omri [13:21] I'm already in a boot CD at the moment, I forgot to mention [13:21] Spider_: me? or Nicholas ? [13:21] The guy with the fan problems :D [13:21] That may make things easier [13:21] oh, Nicholas then :) [13:21] daftykins even i thought older kernel might be an issue, though even on 14.04, the temps are exactly same [13:22] milkcow: ok, type sudo cfdisk /dev/sda [13:22] Nicholas: which one, 14.04.0 media, 14.04.2, or 14.04.3 ? === Guest45314 is now known as Tristam [13:23] whoami [13:23] I have done that, I see a terminal version of GPArted [13:23] milkcow: ok, create a new primary partition at the start [13:24] daftykins well buddy if i remember correctly it was 14.04.2 , [13:24] Wait, why couldn't I just use the GUI? [13:24] milkcow: cfdisk is pretty easy [13:24] I see [13:24] Spider_ i don't have fan issues sir [13:25] New > 47.8G size then do I select "Bootable"? [13:25] Nicholas: sounds like you're not too sure [13:25] no, just make sure the hex code is 8300 milkcow [13:26] daftykins well it was 14.04 , i don't remember the whole numeral. though still it was newer kernal and ubuntu . u know what i mean [13:26] How can I check? And once I get to the menu with bootable, write, etc., what do I do? [13:26] milkcow: press write [13:26] the temps were exactly same when i ran it as live [13:27] Quick question guys. I had my USB drive attached last night and while I still had a folder open, I unplugged the drive. Now I can't access the folder through the GUI (it's like a paper icon) but I can through the terminal. I know it will work if I restart my pc, but is there any way to do it without having to restart? [13:27] Nicholas: yes but it'd be relevant which kernel [13:27] milkcow: then type sudo partprobe so the kernel knows about the changes [13:27] Okay, but I have to check the hex code first, and I don't know how [13:27] RockLee: nope [13:27] reboots do not cause death, don't be afraid :) [13:27] milkcow: type sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda | nc termbin.com 9999 [13:28] daftykins: you speaketh of windows ways, shame on you :P [13:28] ( j/k ) [13:28] http://termbin.com/bcgo [13:28] daftykins ubuntu 14.04 uses 3.16 kernel [13:28] milkcow: link isn't working [13:29] Nicholas: not it doesn't, only .2 does. [13:29] i see [13:29] EriC^^: :D [13:29] how to set permission like this? drwx-wx-wt ? [13:30] That's weird, try bpaste.net/show/70a5547fb71a [13:30] converge: chmod 1733 [13:30] EriC^^: it gives me drws-ws-wt [13:31] but still it uses a better kernel than 12.04 right daftykins? might be my processor could be an issue here? [13:31] converge: mm works here *shrug* [13:31] its an pentium dual core. [13:31] a* [13:31] 2008 make [13:31] gma 950 [13:32] milkcow: the partition isn't there still [13:32] EriC^^: world is bad to me [13:32] converge: did you try chmod -s ? [13:32] milkcow: try cat /proc/partitions | nc termbin.com 9999 [13:32] Nicholas: really i've no interest until i've seen data first hand from a live session of a specific version. [13:32] converge: try chmod -s [13:32] pksadiq, EriC^^: S2 [13:32] thanks [13:33] nevermind anyways thanks for the help people , much appreciate bye [13:34] hey guys. lately when i perform apt-get upgrades i get a lot of prompts for input. for example http://paste.ubuntu.com/12798401/. it is like it more'd the file and i have to press q to quit/continue. any idea why? [13:35] pksadiq: isn't that a bug in linux, i just tried it and shouldn't 1xxx remove any setuid and setgid bits? [13:36] http://termbin.com/rt41, if it doesn't work try http://bpaste.net/show/fdd55692212e [13:36] kind of odd, you'd expect it to remove them if you can do 7xxx to set them and 1xxx to set the sticky bit [13:37] milkcow: still doesn't see them, did you run sudo partprobe ? [13:37] EriC^^: Don't know. But I don't think such a bug would go unnoticed in some popular package like GNU coreutils [13:37] pksadiq: yeah that's true, it's odd though, it doesn't make much sense [13:38] I didn't make the partition yet [13:38] It's still unallocated [13:38] Does the hex checking happen after I make the partition? [13:39] milkcow: while creating the partition in cfdisk it asks you for the hex code [13:39] I see [13:39] it's just the partition type, 8300 is linux 8200 is swap [13:39] It is pretty lame that every time the update manager runs on Ubuntu 10.04 it freezes the UI when it says, "Your Ubuntu release is not supported anymore." so that my repositories that *DO* have updates cannot even update. [13:39] I literally have to kill -9 the update manager every time because the "Your Ubuntu release is not supported anymore." freezes every single time. It cannot be closed. [13:39] superkuh, end of life...END OF LIFE. upgrade to a supported version. [13:39] Oh fuck off. [13:39] !ops | superkuh [13:39] superkuh: Help! Channel emergency!

This is not about upgrading. [13:40] It's about breaking what works. [13:40] I run 14.04, etc, on my new systems. [13:40] I'm certainly not going to change this one. [13:40] It didn't ask me what the hex code is [13:40] superkuh: what release is it on? [13:41] milkcow: ok, nevermind, did you write it? [13:41] It just said "the partition table has been altered" [13:41] superkuh: oh, you said, 10.04. sorry [13:41] milkcow: ok, type sudo partprobe , then sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda | nc termbin.com 9999 [13:41] superkuh: uninstall update manager - you're getting no updates anyway :) [13:41] Hello i have a problem with "hung_task_timeout_secs" http://pastebin.com/xuzz2ES2 What can i do with this? [13:41] popey, ... except from all my non-canonical repositories. [13:41] Like for java, etc. [13:41] Yes, it's there now [13:42] Which are being blocked by Canonicals BS message about dropped support. [13:42] Sure, I can do it from the cli. [13:42] I do. [13:42] milkcow: oh ok, just tried it, i think cfdisk is different than cgdisk which asks you, open cfdisk again and highlight the partition then press type at the bottom [13:42] I hear 12.04 is quite good :) [13:43] superkuh: would you like a patched version of update manager which doesn't have that popup? [13:43] Instead of a hex code, cfdisk uses ID and type. [13:43] sda1 has an ID of 83 and is of type Linux [13:43] milkcow: ok, use 83 [13:43] popey, that'd be excellent. [13:43] sda5 is type 82, type Linux swap/Solaris [13:44] superkuh: I had one kicking around, ping me after the weekend and I'll dig it out [13:44] But I'll need a swap partition too, and the swap partition is locked in sda2, the extended partition [13:44] Wow. Okay. That's really cool. Thanks. [13:44] milkcow: np, now type sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda | nc termbin.com 9999 and paste the link [13:44] milkcow: np you can create it later [13:45] np [13:45] http://termbin.com/e3dz [13:45] milkcow: ok, type sudo mkdir /oldinstall [13:45] superkuh: what version of update-manager do you currently have? [13:46] superkuh: apt-cache policy update-manager* and stick the output on paste.ubuntu.com pls [13:46] i have done that [13:47] milkcow: ok, type sudo mount /dev/sda6 /oldinstall [13:47] I have done that [13:47] milkcow: also, type sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1 [13:47] make sure of the spelling [13:49] http://superkuh.com/update-manager-version.txt [13:50] I have done that too EriC^^ [13:50] milkcow: ok, type sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt === rar is now known as ptoleimaos [13:51] What's next [13:52] milkcow: type sudo rsync -av /oldinstall/ /mnt ( make sure there's a trailing "/" after oldinstall ) [13:59] I'm running Xmonad on Ubuntu 15.04 on a ThinkPad T450s. I haven't poked around with this sort of stuff since years before systemd was a thing, so I'm a bit out of the loop. Currently, I have to launch pavucontrol to change the volume and echo to a proc file to change display brightness. The battery time is bad. So I'm missing some laptop-specific things, but not sure where to start. [14:00] superkuh: kk [14:01] Hello guys. Ive got a intel compute stick that says its compatible with ubuntu model STCK1A32WFC [14:02] fun [14:02] but after install i realize that i dont have wifi [14:02] STCK1A32WFC is the windows one isn't it? [14:02] popey, yep [14:02] popey, its so cool [14:02] has 32gb mmc and 2gb ram [14:03] super fast to open things [14:03] now i just need to get my wifi working. Sound works [14:03] The rsync has finished [14:03] Do I do anything else? [14:04] milkcow: ok [14:04] im wondering if is there any command that i could do to try to make the wifi working [14:04] milkcow: open the file browser and browse to /mnt make sure everything is there [14:04] with modprobe or something [14:04] milkcow: do you have a backup of the important files you need? [14:04] fabio: i think you need to build the wifi driver [14:05] oh, right [14:05] milkcow: on a different drive? [14:05] popey, i've installed the 14.02 LTS [14:05] fabio: do you know what wifi chipset is on it? [14:05] No, why do you ask [14:05] fabio, there are some troubleshooting tips here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide [14:06] popey, i know that is an realtek [14:06] milkcow: because we need to extend the first partition ( that involves deleting the partition and recreating it, and you never know what can go wrong when dealing with partition tables ) [14:06] fabio: I'd go and poke the realtek website for the source then [14:07] popey, let me be sure [14:07] I've had a number of problems (through my own fault) with Grub and Ubuntu and I'm wanting to make a fresh install. Grub won't start up properly and I have to start the Windows bootloader from the computer's Boot Manager. How can I uninstall both Grub and Ubuntu from Windows and start again? I tried Disk Management but there's like 10+ partitions, most of them unlabelled. [14:07] fabio: i have seen other reports that it's realtek too [14:07] fabio: https://communities.intel.com/thread/76216 has an iso which you may be able to get something out of [14:07] Dyzem: type sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999 , it might be a stubborn bios + uefi [14:08] How much of a sure thing is it that my partition will be wiped? Because I don't have another hard drive [14:08] milkcow: well, nothing should go wrong, but you never know, power outtage kernel panic etc. [14:08] if the info is vital i'd back it up first [14:09] Is there a way for me to backup on the BootCD? [14:09] !eolupgrades | superkuh look at this for the repo message [14:09] superkuh look at this for the repo message: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [14:09] milkcow: i think you can create a persistent live usb, i've no experience with it though [14:09] milkcow: another option would be to just use the 50gb as a separate /home [14:10] That sounds much easier [14:10] ... [14:11] milkcow: ok, type gksu nautilus, browse to /mnt and delete everything except for the /mnt/home dir [14:12] superkuh: the repos get shut down when a release gets EOL. its not the others to blame that you still want to use a insecure release then. see the bots links to change the repos. [14:13] I think seeing 10.04 must trigger a reflex in most that causes you to become blind. [14:13] Like # but for #ubuntu people instead of compilers. [14:13] It's a Lubuntu bootcd, so I typed sudo pcmanfm [14:14] But when I clicked "move to trash", the items doesn't show up in the trash can [14:14] Oh boy [14:14] What now? [14:14] superkuh: your are doing it wrong. stop blaming others and beeing such aggressiv [14:14] superkuh: the 10.04 repos are shut down. deal with it and stop ranting [14:14] hi all [14:14] jak2000: Hi ;) === backbox_ is now known as exithe [14:15] k1l, I don't want to get updates. I handle it all myself these days. Since you didn't read I'll re-explain. The actual message about upgrading itself, is bugged. [14:15] superkuh: your attitude stops you from looking into the solution the bot linked you. [14:15] how to assign a ip to my network card: http://pastie.org/10486076 i think is: "Ethernet controller" [14:15] Really? Because I gave you the benefit of the doubt and actually read the irrelevant links. [14:15] milkcow: they're probably in a hidden .Trash-0 dir [14:15] press ctrl+h to show it [14:16] http://superkuh.com/update-manager-version.txt shows you are still using the wrong repos. [14:16] ~/.trash0? [14:16] My issue isn't about upgrading. It's about the message pop-up, "Your Ubuntu release is not supported anymore." , which freezes the update-manager GUI and prevents it's use. [14:16] i think it should be in /mnt/.Trash-0 [14:16] For non-canonical repos. [14:17] superkuh: i think you can disable the message from appearing in the software & sources program [14:17] Oh wow, you da real MVP EricC^^ [14:17] Could I do rm -rf /mnt/.Trash-0/files? [14:17] superkuh: under updates [14:18] milkcow: yeah [14:18] "Release upgrade" section? [14:18] Alright. Trying to set to "never". I'll see if this stops it. [14:18] superkuh: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid <<< that is not going to work anymore. [14:19] Now I can go back to the /mnt/home directory. What do I do from here? [14:19] superkuh: the only way you can let your package-manager live is with changing it to the old-releases [14:19] k1l: you're reading his paste wrong [14:19] k1l: that is where the packages came from, not what his sources.list necessarily says [14:20] k1l: while his sources.list may indeed be wrong, that's not what you get from that paste [14:20] milkcow: ok, type sudo mv /mnt/home/* /mnt [14:20] milkcow: also, type sudo mv /mnt/home/.* /mnt [14:20] popey: the whole package-management will not work with that shut-down repos. [14:21] k1l: I didn't say it would. [14:21] The second one says "device or resource busy" [14:21] milkcow: np [14:21] k1l: I'm saying you are incorrectly inferring something from apt-cache which isn't the case [14:21] milkcow: type ls -a /mnt/home , make sure it's empty and everything is in /mnt [14:21] apt-cache shows where a package came from originally [14:21] popey: yes. i get that [14:22] perhaps we can take the support discussion for the no longer supported releases to a private chat? please? thank you. [14:22] O_O [14:22] du -h /mnt/home has no files and 4.0K space used [14:22] I have no reason to believe everything is not in /mnt [14:22] superkuh: what they aren't showing you is http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ if you need a way to fix a system [14:22] We're okay [14:22] milkcow: ok, type sudo rmdir /mnt/home [14:22] maybe just tell him how to upgrade to a supported release and be done with it "-) [14:23] What do I do after that [14:23] BluesKaj: he doesn't want to. [14:23] s/he/they/ [14:23] Guys, guys, just drop it. I'm fine, done talking. This is painful to watch. [14:23] milkcow: type sudo rm -rf /oldinstall/home/* [14:23] then he's out of luck [14:23] But that's where all my files are [14:23] Isn't it? [14:24] milkcow: no, they should be in /mnt too [14:24] You terrified me for a minute [14:24] I meant the files in /dev/sda6 [14:24] :D [14:24] how to assign a ip to my network card: http://pastie.org/10486102 i think is: "Ethernet controller" [14:25] milkcow: nah, we only need to remove the files in the /home there so we have an empty dir to mount the new partition too [14:25] The /home directory in /dev/sda6 is where I keep all of my vital files [14:26] milkcow: yeah, but it's in /mnt now right? === Dro__ is now known as Dro [14:26] milkcow: i mean we rsync'd the files there, deleted everything but /home then moved them into /mnt [14:27] The home directory is actually /mnt/ [14:27] I think I screwed up again [14:27] ah no, that's fine [14:27] you didn't [14:28] check if the files are there though [14:28] if it's all good, we'll continue [14:30] Cross referencing du -h shows there is no loss of data, so I can continue [14:30] milkcow: ok, type sudo rm -rf /oldinstall/home/* [14:30] whoami [14:30] The directory is now empty [14:30] What now [14:30] milkcow: ok, type blkid /dev/sda1 [14:31] I see a UUID, TYPE, and PARTUUID [14:31] you should get the uuid, type sudo nano /oldinstall/etc/fstab [14:32] ok, add to fstab [14:32] UUID= /home ext4 defaults 0 2 [14:33] EriC^^ escuse me any advie?

[14:36] to fix this [14:36] jak2000: The paste log shows that you have been already assigned with a public IP (device eth0, which is the Ethernet controller). Do you need to change it?

You should also !register your nick with freenode. [15:24] Hey! I need some help regarding a machine that I can't access physically. I need it to be able to run a X11 session without a monitor connected. Afaik xorg-dummy will get me there, but I don't have internet access to that machine (university network), but can ssh into it when I connect via vpn. So: how do I get the needed packages and configuration on there, or get internet access to that machine to use apt properly? ssh tunneling? if so, [15:24] how? only ever used it the other way around and not a expert on it. [15:25] oh, forgot: runnung 12.04 LTS because of the used software. [15:25] jan112: why don't you just X forward? it itself doesn't need a running GUI. hell, why do you want a GUI at all? [15:26] Hello, I have a problem with sound not coming through my headphones, on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS [15:26] daftykins, we're running galicaster on the computer, that's the main purpose. it needs to be run as a GUI. therefore X forward isn't an option because i obviously can't let my machine be connected to it 24/7 [15:28] jan112, easy: ssh -X @ -p [15:29] jan112: why is it running on a box tied in the Uni somehow? run it somewhere more appropriately instead. [15:29] daftykins, it needs to be in the lecture hall to capture the video and audio streams. there is no other physical way. also, I sadly can't get in that room anymore until monday. [15:30] make sure you have " ForwardX11 yes " in ~/.ssh/config. (client) [15:30] jan112: so X forward it is. [15:30] OerHeks, see above. Would work fine if I need it to just run once, but this needs to be a permanent solution. [15:31] Could someone please help me with a sound card issue? [15:31] then you need to set this up in a more suitable way - and not having access shows poor planning :) [15:31] barC: just ask the channel [15:31] ¨ X11Forwarding yes " in /etc/ssh/sshd_config (serverside) [15:31] barC: nobody can unless you're more specific, no [15:31] jan112, time to learn howto write a script, no? === marshal0605 is now known as marshal0505 [15:32] !details | barC [15:32] barC: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [15:32] just in case you needed four more lines to comprehend my plain English... [15:33] not having access is the restriction from the university. yes, i understand that it is not a proper setup but my hands are ultimately tied. what i need is to be able to run the xserver without a monitor attached. that's it. of course i could explain why, why there are such restrictions, why we need exactly this software, but, come on... I've already filtered those options out. [15:33] jan112, do you have root access in that server ? if no, end of story [15:33] I get sound output from my built-in speakers, but when I plug in my headphones I can't hear anything. I've tried several possible solutions listed on the forums, but the problem remains. [15:33] yes, i have. [15:33] when we know the true reasons why for a task, often a better idea can be presented - instead of the way you think you want to accomplish it :) [15:33] barC: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload [15:34] jan112: why do you need the X server? [15:35] !xvfb | jan112 [15:35] !info xvfb | jan112 [15:35] jan112: xvfb (source: xorg-server): Virtual Framebuffer 'fake' X server. In component main, is optional. Version 2:1.17.1-0ubuntu3.1 (vivid), package size 790 kB, installed size 2356 kB [15:35] I need more coffee :( [15:35] * daftykins slides to genii [15:35] daftykins, we use this machine to capture lectures (hdmi input from beamer signal, audio input from lecturers mic) with a combination of galicaster and opencast. galicaster because it is the prefered software in conjunction with opencast and does EXACTLY what we need it do to. sadly, it will only run with a X11 server. whole system should be as autonomous as possible. because of the way the lecture hall is laid out (very old) the only [15:35] option is to put the machine in the little cabin above the beamer. [15:36] daftykins: Much appreciated [15:37] genii, that looks very promising. thank you. can you give me a hint how to set it up so that it will be used as default? [15:38] ActionParsnip, Your ALSA information is located at http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=ca96b1ad9d7f3d393a59566f0ca6b8ea765be023 [15:39] Hey guys, I'm having some trouble with vsftpd I cannot seem to be able to mount a resource [15:40] you don't mount with FTP servers? :) [15:40] PCatinean: use ssh instead [15:41] ah sorry I mounted inversely [15:41] Nah it's because vsftpd does not allow giving ftp access if the parent dir is not owned by root and readonly or some strange stuff like that [15:41] that's why a mount must be done towards a certain dir while keeping the directory structure they want [15:41] it's because you should use ssh [15:42] oh no not this again [15:42] PCatinean: depending on how you have vsftpd setup, either the user who is accessing or the vsftpd user needs to have access to the path in question. [15:43] there are indeed users hellbent on making us deal with antiquated protocols such as FTP :) [15:43] PCatinean: you really should consider using sftp/ssh instead, unless you are tied to FTP for some reason. [15:43] :))) [15:43] Pici: +1 - FTP is a waste of time in 2015 [15:43] * pbx prepares some questions on gopher [15:43] not my options unfortunately Pici, working with very old-school developers that just won't budge [15:43] I would have just used git for the damn thing, 10 times easier and safer but hey...what can you do [15:44] daftykins: I have some vendors that require it, although I have ssh for the ones that have moved into this century. [15:44] Pici: :D [15:44] Pici: is that the way they supply things, or mandate receipt of things? [15:45] daftykins: a little of both. At least for most of them we either encrypt with gpg before transfer or already have a site-to-site connection with them. [15:46] *nod* interesting [15:46] barC: let me search [15:46] jan112: There seems to be a lack of decent tutorials on the subject to point you to. But I'd probably use this method to make it the default: http://askubuntu.com/questions/456766/how-to-set-default-session-in-ubuntu-14-04-lts [15:47] ActionParsnip, ok, thanks :) [15:47] genii, awesome, thanks. I've just found out that the dummy package is already installed on the machine. gonna try that one first, if it won't work, i'll give xvfb a go. [15:48] barC: have you tried adding "position_fix=1" as an option on the snd_hda_intel module? [15:49] ActionParsnip, nope, I'll give it a shot [15:52] l0rdkermit. o/ [15:52] jan112: You might also want to read or look at the manpages for xvfb and xvfb-run [15:53] ActionParsnip, no luck [15:55] barC: ok, remove it and re-reboot [15:55] barC: is the headphone jack muted in alsamixer? === newbie is now known as Guest64495 [15:55] ActionParsnip, no, it's not muted === al_ is now known as Guest63812 === Haaibo is now known as unaffiliated [16:00] ActionParsnip, still nothing. built-in speakers work fine, headphones don't [16:00] Hello i have a problem with "hung_task_timeout_secs" http://pastebin.com/xuzz2ES2 What can i do with this? === mira is now known as Guest635 [16:03] Hello everyone!

How can I === marshal0605 is now known as marshal0505 [17:05] Gnjurac: Not really an Ubuntu question, but I have found psX 113 to be the best-working one for me. [17:05] ok [17:05] i just wnat it for CTR [17:07] j/ #ubuntu-offtopic [17:07] I have a problem, maybe not so much in connection to Ubuntu. I broke my audiojack and need to replace it. And I have two choices 1) buy a usb soundcard (with support for linux) 2) Buy a wireless headphone with bluetooth and a bluetooth adapter?. Problem is I dont know what I should buy? Some of the remote headphones still need a 3.5mm jack, and the usb soundcards im not sure if they work with ubuntu... What should I do? === willcooke_ is now known as willcooke [17:12] lrs, take a look @ http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/hardware_support or join #ubuntu-studio, those guys know more [17:22] lrs: this a laptop? just get a new one soldered in [17:23] daftykins, Well, I sent it in the the warranty but they said they needed to replace the whole mb [17:23] So im not buying a new motherboard for it. And soldering, well, not sure about that [17:23] lrs: warranty shouldn't mean you pay :( [17:24] daftykins, Well since it looked bvroken on the outside they said its not a fualt in const ruction , i.e im at fault, [17:24] ah ok, just wear and tear [17:24] that figures [17:24] Yeah, wear and tear [17:25] i'd find someone competent to solder it personally, i'd not go for some ugly external solution [17:26] Well, thing is I was just thinking of getting a remote headphone anyway so [17:27] BEcause this happens alot to me [17:27] So its not really that much of a work around [17:27] A desktop i could solder, but laptop, too much work and sensible to put it all back [17:27] It still works, its just htat its sound on the right ear lol [17:28] lrs, maybe it is just a bended connection [17:28] not broken i mean [17:28] OerHeks, Yeah, well, that what happened. I was in bed or something and it twisted itself upwards [17:28] you might be able to bend it back. [17:28] So the peg from the headphone cracked it [17:30] http://i01.i.aliimg.com/photo/v0/607043309/3_5mm_female_stereo_headphone_jack_wiring.jpg this can be solved, this one is harder http://i00.i.aliimg.com/wsphoto/v0/1898182738/2014-Top-Fasion-Seconds-Kill-Computer-Rca-Connector-Connector-3-5-Headphone-Jack-for-Audio-Pj.jpg [17:30] greetz [17:30] hi highdivr [17:30] |-} [17:31] OerHeks, Hmm. basically the jack is loose === kpease_ is now known as kpease [17:35] how to grep and not include words that don't start with the suggested letter [17:36] kgirthofer if you don't get an answer here, ask in #bash [17:37] !crosspost | kgirthofer [17:37] kgirthofer: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time.

I've been having a problem with sound. My built-in speakers work fine, but my headphones don't produce any sound. After messing around with the alsa-base.conf file options and setting every possible thing in the alsa mixer to the maximum value I get a very low volume sound in my headphones (which is also somewhat distorted). How do I fix this? [17:41] barC, regular speakers going through the same audio jack? [17:42] certain .flv videos are saying install plugin help when flash is already installed [17:42] kgirthofer, no, my speakers are built-in. I am using a laptop. I'm not sure how they are connected to the sound card though [17:42] barC try downloading Pulse Audio Volume Control [17:42] it helps with managing the audio settings, setting defaults and so forth [17:42] Spider, will try that. thanks [17:43] brandon_, on youtube? else it is a hoax i think, trying to install malware. [17:43] OerHeks, Heh. Turns out I have bluetooth on this computer. But ubuntu doesn't seem to find it. [17:43] So I have some in-ear headphones im gonna use. If i get bluetooth to work. Question is how... [17:44] !bluetooth [17:44] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [17:44] I want to use the "wipe menu" feature of the package mkusb, but I can't seem to get it to appear (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb#Wipe_the_first_megabyte_or_the_whole_device for a picture at the bottom of the section). How can I use the full wipe menu instead of just the first-mega/mibibyte wipe menu? [17:45] Spider, Thats for 11.04? I got 14.04 [17:45] I believe it should work for 11.04 + [17:45] Spider, pulse audio volume control did not help [17:46] barC, ah too bad :/ [17:47] lrs, sometimes it works when you resetthe headphone. how, depends on the make/model. [17:49] lrs some say install pavucontrol, lots of tips here http://askubuntu.com/questions/259354/how-do-i-connect-to-my-bluetooth-headset [17:49] I don't understand why my headphones wouldn't work. They work fine in win 10. [17:49] I've been going at this for over 5 hours lol [17:50] I'm using Ubuntu 14.04. How can I set Super and arrow keys to automatic window snapping? Like in Linux Mint Cinnamon? [17:52] marjinal1st, i don't know mint/cinnamon, but for what it's worth you can use Compiz's grid plugin to throw windows around with the keyboard. including moving from one monitor to another. [17:52] i suspect that's different from what you were asking for, but it's something useful in the same ballpark [17:54] is it possible to setup an adhoc connection without having two network interfaces [17:54] im using it temporarily to connect another device which will send other wifi creds for that AP to connect to. [17:55] pbx: I'll give it a try, thanks. [17:55] the machine i want to use as an AP is ubuntu.. and ive set up a wifi adhoc connection but it just ajax swirls then fails [17:56] christo_m: so you want the same wireless adapter to be both an AP and connect to a network? [17:57] daftykins: heres the situation, the machine is a small intel compute stick. [17:57] i want to mimick the chromecast setup.. when you first use chromecast it is an AP that you connect to and pass network info to [17:57] then the chromecast stops being an AP and connecst to said wifi. i want to mimick this behavior with ubuntu on the stick [17:57] daftykins: the issue is i cant even get the AP part to work [17:57] are you using hostapd? [17:58] daftykins: no im just using the gnome network manager thing [17:58] how does fprint work? [17:58] daftykins: is it not possible to do this with iwconfig and a simple bash script? is a program necessary? [17:58] ok and what's the other device? why are you wanting to connect ad-hoc? [17:58] daftykins: i told you why.. i want to be able to pass my wifi information to the device [17:58] does it really work any way? [17:58] so on first bootup, its AP.. then i connect with another device to it and pass the wifi details [17:58] yup I use hostapd [17:59] christo_m: i saw you say *like* the chromecast but not really that it's actually one :) [17:59] daftykins: it isnt one. [17:59] its an intel compute stick. [17:59] oh ok that thing, well now we're making some actual progress [17:59] yes.. [17:59] no i would say hostapd is the wisest approach. [17:59] seems odd to me though that this approach is really how they want it to be configured... [18:00] i mean i also did mention earlier that it was an intel compute stick and that i wanted to mimick chromecast but ya [18:00] daftykins: nobody wants it configured this way [18:00] Is there something wrong with the skype on ubuntu? The emoticons have no life. They are lifeless stills from the past. [18:00] im trying to develop something and i want it to work on someones netowkr without them having to plug in a mouse and keyboard to enter wifi creds [18:00] right but when i see you chat, i don't comb all my scrollback to help you having to type a few extra words [18:00] skype 4.3 for Ubuntu [18:01] viju: it's just Microsoft who doesn't give many craps about the linux versions [18:01] why is pulseaudio still not working properly in ubuntu? its always stuttering when several devices open audio output [18:01] viju: the client is ancient, don't expect the Windows experience [18:01] is there any stable audio driver stack for ubuntu? [18:02] viju, now you know how windows phone users feel about google apps :D [18:02] daftykins, about a year back there were animated emojis. [18:02] haha barC [18:02] syntroPi start from the beginning, what brings you here [18:02] viju: most people are concerned with justified things such as, IM and calling :) [18:02] daftykins: thats it eh [18:02] ok [18:03] Hmm... Cant seem to get bluetooth to work in my t530 lenovo [18:03] Any ideas? [18:03] The link I was given doesnt seem to work i think [18:03] MonkeyDust, my audio output is having a "stuttering sound" issue. the volume slider is jumping around wildly on its own without any manual interference [18:04] MonkeyDust, i am using Gnome shell [18:04] christo_m: yeah what you want to achieve looks totally beyond the scope of ubuntu support imo. [18:04] daftykins: turning ubuntu into an AP is beyond the scope of ubuntu supportL? [18:04] truth. [18:04] time to find a rope and a chair i guess [18:05] syntroPi #ubuntustudio is multimedia dedicated, try there [18:05] MonkeyDust, can i not just have a simple working audio in ubuntu on gnome desktop? [18:06] christo_m: well i already pointed you to what to install, do you need further input? [18:06] syntroPi you're the first to come up with the issue, so it must be on your pc [18:06] christo_m: i don't really understand what you're hoping to achieve with these devices such that someone would own one who doesn't hook it up to a keyboard and mouse to get it online [18:07] lsusb | grep Bluetooth gives me nothing [18:08] Hello. I've been having a problem with sound. My built-in speakers work fine, but my headphones don't produce any sound. After messing around with the alsa-base.conf file options and setting every possible thing in the alsa mixer to the maximum value I get a very low volume sound in my headphones (which is also somewhat distorted). How do I fix this? [18:08] daftykins: word. [18:09] MonkeyDust, any idea what can change the output volume in such a stuttering way? the slider jumps like crazy on its onw [18:09] syntroPi, install pavucontrol and see if that strange probmen persists, if so, check the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [18:10] great on launching pavucontrol it completely stops working now [18:11] hi can I ask a linux question [18:11] if it was a mic, i would think of automatic record control. [18:11] trung ubuntu linux, yes [18:11] yes I tried on ubuntu [18:12] I wanted to just write a script to log a process’s CPU/Memory% to a file, so I started with this: echo $(date +%s) $(top -p $(pgrep vim) -n 1 | grep vim | awk '{print "CPU: " $9 "% MEMORY: " $10 "%"}’) [18:12] it worked but when I piped it to `tee` it doesn’t work [18:12] echo $(date +%s) $(top -p $(pgrep vim) -n 1 | grep vim | awk '{print "CPU: " $9 "% MEMORY: " $10 "%"}’) | tee report [18:12] trung you too, that'ws more for #bash [18:12] ok [18:13] daftykins: im creating a product built on the intel compute stick platform.. part of what makes a product good is user experience.. going to fetch a kebyoard and mouse is awful UX [18:15] christo_m: i get that, what i don't get is what you're trying to do with the thing :P [18:15] nor what makes it an ubuntu problem to be frank [18:16] daftykins: im running ubuntu on the stick.. [18:16] i dont see why it matters what the device is for.. its running the Ubuntu OS [18:16] its almost like you arent reading anything im saying [18:17] because often people come to us wanting to do x, but really they should've asked to do y - but they didn't know that at the time. [18:17] well, the exact problem is what i said it was, but i will try hostapd as per your recommendation and get back to you [18:17] so your idea is to supply people with this stick running Ubuntu... and somehow you want to simplify getting it on wifi - but if they still don't have user input devices, what use is it to them? [18:18] daftykins: because their mobile device is a remote control for it [18:18] its a stick that plays media [18:18] and honestly thats already divulging too much as im under NDA but whatever [18:18] so your idea is to make it a Kodi/Plex device or similar? [18:18] either way the purpose doesnt matter, the issue remains [18:18] it actually does since it makes the task more understandable and alternative approaches can be thought up [18:19] the only alternative approach is using bluetooth instead of wifi [18:19] as fun as being led around in the dark by a question asker :) [18:19] to pass the cerdentials [18:19] trust me, ive thought about this for you. [18:20] to be quite honest it's a pretty rubbish choice of device for the task [18:20] daftykins: and why is that? [18:20] there are far more capable devices with remotes built in capable of more than likely, better accelerated video decode [18:21] computestick first use act as an AP that you connect to and pass network info to .. you might want to put this on askubuntu [18:21] tons of more readers [18:21] daftykins: im not trying to sell hardware remotes, im trying to turn the mobile device into the remote. [18:21] and ive already tested the device with h264 media and pretty much everything on the web and it works [18:22] hello [18:22] and most other devices are ARM , im also using node webkit and that doesnt have an ARM build thats quite ready tbh [18:22] so i need intel atom for x86 [18:22] but H.264 has already been superseded. [18:22] k cool man [18:22] im not gonna debate the design decisions with you [18:22] the problem is simple, need to pass wifi creds to ubuntu [18:22] not trying to neckbeard the solution over here [18:22] ok, if you're not open to seeing how you've already gone down the wrong path i'll leave you to your fun :) [18:22] i want disable autosearch in nautilus, can help?? [18:23] daftykins: welcome to real life, we dont always get to play with the shiniest tech and do things the correct way like you wish [18:23] i give gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences enable-interactive-search false [18:23] which Qt version is coming in 16.04? [18:23] christo_m don't refuse advice you're getting here, it's demotivating [18:23] MonkeyDust: aside from downloading hostapd, there has been no real advice [18:23] luist: 16.04 hasn't begun development yet. [18:23] and output is: No such key 'enable-interactive-search' [18:23] christo_m: you have a very poor attitude, don't take things so personally. [18:23] Pici, when does it start? :) [18:24] daftykins: not at all, i just realize its easier to criticize red herrings than actually approach the issue i mentioned to begin with [18:24] luist: shortly after 15.10 is released. [18:24] probably because its out of the scope of your knowledge , which is fine [18:24] christo_m or because it cannot be done [18:24] Pici, okay thanks [18:24] i needed more info before i understood what you were getting at [18:24] any help??? [18:24] MonkeyDust: well chromecast does it, so it can be [18:24] you were not forthcoming with that information. [18:24] daftykins: that information does not help at all, and you know it. [18:25] have any manual methods??? [18:25] no it truly did :) [18:25] daftykins: lol, right, it led you to "don't bother at all" i guess thats real helpful.. [18:25] nname31, install dconf, then go to org.gnome.nautilus.preferences > enable interactive search # and disable this [18:25] sure is. [18:25] christo_m maybe *only* a chromecast can do it [18:25] MonkeyDust: lolol [18:26] one approach you've got is to modify network-manager to parse wifi config from the microSD card, then provide configs on there [18:26] still involves user input though [18:26] daftykins: it should be enough to establish an adhoc connection with ubuntu on the stick.. have my cordova app create a tcp connection and funnel the details across [18:26] i try and dconf but dnot have any "search" [18:26] http://prnt.sc/8ryyrp [18:26] my node webkit app is on the other side receiving the details and using a bash script to configure iwconfig [18:26] what is "it" in that sentence? [18:27] last 2 day start this bug [18:27] what can i use/install to try out a drawing tablet? [18:27] daftykins: im sorry are you trolling? [18:28] no trolling, just misread was all. [18:28] and you're still presenting that really poor attitude, so i think i'm done [18:29] what i just said makes sense in theory.. the practical aspect is proving difficult since ubuntu is having difficulty being a hotspot [18:29] maybe driver issues though because of the restricted chipset [18:29] nname31, strange output on your pic, i see this http://imgur.com/tqi3ZMC [18:29] daftykins: perfect. fitting name btw [18:29] nname31, what linux are you using? [18:30] i install gnome [18:32] i used debian 8.2 [18:33] oh, that is why, join #debian then. [18:33] I Ctrl+Alt+F2'd to get a prompt and after logging in, didn't get a password: prompt; the system is hanging and instead said "Login timed out after 60 seconds." How do I get another login prompt? [18:34] ask in #debian #gnome #ubuntu but ...nothing [18:34] * syntroPi really hates pulseaudio [18:34] hello i am from holland [18:35] nname31, i showed you i see that auto search. so, good luck in #debian [18:36] how can i find out which application is interfering or adjusting my audio output without my permission? [18:36] syntroPi, the audiotroubleshooting might give a clue, maybe the alsa settings for your carde is wrong. ( most likely) [18:36] is there a way to remove the contents of a file without removing the file? [18:36] Noone? [18:37] very thx oerheks [18:37] I have dead.letter that i just want to clear out, but keep it there bc I ahve scripts that rely on it [18:37] rapper97: you tried all 6 TTYs? [18:37] Its very strange. I have bluetooth support but i cant find it in linux [18:37] Is the firmware not supported? [18:37] no... system is very laggy so I am loathe to do anything more than the minimum needed to get to `top' [18:38] OerHeks, hmm i never messed on this installation with alsa nor pulse... [18:38] tried Ctrl+Alt+F4 [18:38] no password: prompt on that, either - ugh, echoed my pw in plaintext [18:39] syntroPi, what does 'lspci' say about your soundcard? [18:39] Noone?

In the bluetooth option it says it is off [18:41] and lspci and lsusb doesnt give me anything [18:42] That is, bluetooth is off [18:42] lrs, laptop ? [18:42] OerHeks, Yep [18:42] lrs, is there a FN key to enable/disable BT ? [18:42] Yeah, I put that one on [18:42] key or FN combo [18:43] so your actual problem is, cannot enable BT itself. [18:43] Yep [18:43] OerHeks, can i somehow LOCK pulseaudio on a specific output volume once and forever? [18:45] syntroPi, so it is a macbook?

Trying to login but it just refreshes the login screen [19:46] _Nectar2: clear .cache [19:47] ubuntuUser: Got it [19:47] <_Nectar2> how do i do that [19:47] _Nectar2: ctrl+alt+F1, login, then remove the content of .cache/ [19:48] ubuntuUser: Thanks, I am still confused on how to connect the computer remotely now [19:50] netlar: no problem ;) [19:50] ubuntuUser: It is confusing, cause they all share the same public ip [19:51] 127.0.0.1 ? [19:51] Hello [19:51] ubuntuUser: What is that? [19:51] How do I check which Ubuntu version I have? [19:51] Piperanci: cat /etc/issue [19:51] Piperanci: cat /etc/issue [19:52] Piperanci or lsb_release -d [19:52] Thanks! [19:52] <_Nectar2> : what command would that be? [19:52] 127.0.0.1 is the loopback ip address, it's the same on all computer [19:53] <_Nectar2> : clear .cache/ ? [19:54] _Nectar2 type ba and then hit tab, it completes the nickname [19:54] ubuntuUser: Ok, how does that help me [19:54] I thought you were talking about that === aaron is now known as Guest94233 [19:54] ubuntuUser: No, the public ip address [19:54] _Nectar2: rm -rf .cache/ [19:54] hi [19:55] anyone? lvm on luks? [19:55] use kali linux :p [19:55] ubuntuUser: I understand , that is my address to the outside world and the internet and how the local ip is unique inside my lan [19:55] the defaut installer allow you to use LVM + luks [19:55] <_Nectar2> baizon: and restart? [19:55] ubuntu MATE came out pretty well [19:56] ubuntuUser: not on a specific partition [19:56] _Nectar2: well, yes [19:56] ubuntuUser: But when try to connect to the ssh server when away from home, how do I uniquely id each computer at home [19:56] netlar: router port forwarding [19:57] netlar: it's not easy [19:57] the best way is to use a VPN network [19:57] it is as easy as mapping ports on your router [19:57] im having trouble connecting my eleduino 3.5 inch touch screen to my raspi 2 with ubuntu MATE 15.04 [19:57] theShirbiny: Mapping router ports to each computer? [19:58] i just camt figure it out [19:58] port mapping is the easy way but is less secur than VPN [19:58] <_Nectar2> baizon: still not logging me on [19:58] yes, you basically tell the router to forward the connection to a specific computer on your network [19:58] _Nectar2: try creating a new user [19:58] secur/pratical [19:59] theShirbiny: Like 3000 for one, then 3001 for another comptuer and so on? [20:00] netlar: IP forwarding allows you to direct incoming traffic from WAN side (identified by Protocol and External port) to the Internal server with private IP address on the LAN side. [20:02] ubuntuUser: Why is that less secure? [20:02] netlar: it may have a different name on your router as "Virtual Servers" or something [20:02] theShirbiny: I have an apple airport, they call it port mapping I think [20:03] <_Nectar2> baizon: the new user work but still not my existing one. [20:03] <_Nectar2> works* [20:04] theShirbiny: Is that the only way to remotely connect to a computer, beside VPN? [20:04] it's not really less secur === max is now known as Guest50935 [20:05] ubuntuUser: I am going to used public/private keys too [20:05] and it's more easy than set up a VPN networks [20:05] just remember you're exposing your computer to the internet so you want to secure it [20:05] theShirbiny: I thought ssh is secure? [20:06] it's just less pratical but for your usage they are no problems [20:06] ban2fail/permit root login/use only keys no passwords [20:06] theShirbiny: Yes, I saw that in the config file [20:06] fail2ban* [20:07] But the biggest problem I have is I am sending a computer to another state, and will not be with the computer [20:07] To set it up [20:07] you'll also need ip reservation if you're using dhcp [20:07] I am trying to set it up as much as I can before I ship it [20:08] use a vpn [20:08] ubuntuUser: Instead of ssh? [20:09] install openvpn server on your personnal server and openvpn client on the computer you will send [20:09] ubuntuUser: or the other way around? [20:10] ubuntuUser: I will be connecting to the sent computer, they are not going to connect to me [20:10] <_Nectar2> baizon: what's the default password. I changed it to empty but cant login now, maybe its the default now? [20:11] netlar: if you want to send a computer and be sur to keep a link with it, the best way is the vpn client/server [20:12] are there any quick replacements for pulseaudio? or is it a big effort to replace pulseaudio ? [20:12] ubuntuUser: But I would be connecting the openvpn server from my place right [20:12] yes [20:13] and the client is the remote computer [20:13] I thought the server would be the remote computer [20:13] I want to have access to the remote computer and login to it [20:15] Any ideas why /only/ 14.10 wouldn't hang my system on shutdown/restart? I've installed 14.04 and 15.04 and they both get stuck when I choose shutdown or restart, but 14.10 works great [20:15] with vpn witch use a classic port (for ex 443 tcp), you can get access to the remote computer despite his network config [20:15] Is there a way to clear the contents of a file without deleting the whole text file? [20:16] > file [20:16] ubuntuUser: Yes, cause they are not very tech savvy, would be very difficult to explain things to them [20:16] theShirbiny: so just rewrite the file with 'nothing' [20:17] jayjo, ctrl + a,ctrl+x,and save [20:17] with vpn thez have nothing to do [20:17] <_Nectar2> baizon: maybe if i could copy the settings from one account to another? [20:17] only plug the rj45 [20:17] <_Nectar2> baizon: then delete> [20:17] OerHeks: from command line [20:17] jayjo: yes [20:17] ubuntuUser: Well they will be wireless [20:17] theShirbiny: thanks [20:17] np [20:17] that's not a problem [20:18] ubuntuUser: Great, thanks [20:18] jayjo, touch && mv [20:18] install openvpn as server on your office and openvpn as client on the computer [20:19] something like that? [20:19] netlar: google will help you better than me ;) [20:19] ubuntuUser: Well you pointed me in the right direction, thanks so much [20:21] is there anything like deboostrap or pacstrap for ubuntu? [20:23] !debootstrap | theShirbiny [20:23] theShirbiny: debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot for more information [20:23] oh, ubuntu too, thanks MonkeyDust [20:26] if my eth0 network and wlan0 networks has the same ip range, how to tell the system that I want to join an ip on wlan0 network rather than eth0 network ? [20:27] ubuntuUser: if they're the same network you don't [20:27] it's different network [20:27] hi [20:27] ubuntuUser: ideally they're not the same network, but in cases where they are, then you would have to change your routing to say which interface you want data to go over by default [20:28] ubuntuUser: you can't have two conflicting IP ranges - not safely, but in any case say you did - you would have to problems: [20:28] i have a problem [20:28] (1) local network IPs would never be reached safely because the networks have identical ip ranges and you nuke the capacity to route [20:28] (2) you can reach 'out' but not necessarily sanely, if you change your ip route to say "All traffic goes over interface abc" [20:28] ubuntuUser: ^ [20:29] !details | angelpat [20:29] angelpat: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [20:29] ok thx [20:33] this page hasnt been updated for a long time... dead links (and also links missing, i think) ... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot [20:36] i have problem with my network i change my hard disk whith ubuntu because that in ifconfig say network unreachable [20:45] <_Nectar2> I still cant login to ubuntu. It just refreshes :( [20:45] <_Nectar2> created another user. that worked but more problems [20:50] Ya'll guys ever had a problem where you can't run a file that obviously exists? xD === ph is now known as Guest74380 [20:52] NegativeFlare start from the beginning, what brings you here [20:53] hy !! i have a problem whith my keybord . in Bash into my terminal a can't use the letter S please can you give me an explanation [20:53] ??? [20:53] _Nectar2, did you check the .Xauthority file ? [20:53] MonkeyDust: I live here lol. I've helped tons of people here. Back to my problem, I'm trying to run a file, it works on all my other machines. But I copy it over ssh to my laptop, and my laptop says its there. Yet I can't run it, what gives? xD [20:54] I am running this process. How do I find out how long it is taking to complete? [20:54] _Nectar2: A thought . Driver issue ? In the configuration line of ' sudo lshw -C display ' what driver is loaded ? [20:55] Is there a program that I can run that will complete when the other program completes? [20:55] andy__: run in in a terminal with the prefix command 'time' [20:55] do you think use terminal in root is a problem ?? [20:55] http://askubuntu.com/questions/436925/ownership-of-xauthority-transferred-to-root [20:56] andy__, what do you mean with "that will complete when the other program completes?" ?? [20:57] I want to be able to run the time command with another command that will monitor a process that is already going. [20:57] ok i will go to the Xauthority [20:57] thank you good bye !! [20:58] <_Nectar2> OerHeks: shall i give sudo rm ~/.Xauthority a blast [20:58] _Nectar2, that will do. [20:58] it will be re-created [20:58] <_Nectar2> OerHeks: i just remembered that this occoured after using nautilus [20:59] It can be caused by an update, or startx (depreciated) [21:00] Thank you for your help. [21:00] The process usb-creator-gtk aborted, so I ran it again with the time command. [21:02] <_Nectar2> OerHeks: will this work logged in as the working user gui? [21:03] Hello [21:03] hi [21:03] join #kubuntu [21:03] heyo [21:04] _Nectar2, yes, when @ login screen, ctrl alt F2, login and rm [21:06] Is there another installation method more reliable than usb-creator-gtk? [21:07] andy__, that tool worked good for me, it asks a password again to write the MBR during copying [21:07] andy__: unetbootin [21:07] andy__, Handfuls of usb loaders, try pendrivelinux.com to see a number, reliable is an opinion and subjective. [21:08] <_Nectar2> OerHeks: rm cannot remove aCY/home/nectar/.XauthorityaCO: No such file or directory. [21:08] <_Nectar2> what am i doing wrong [21:08] andy__: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [21:08] It looks like the installer has gotten stuck on 97%. Nevermind. It just completed. [21:09] rm cannot remove aCY/home/nectar/.XauthorityaCO ??? > sudo rm ~/.Xauthority # not with those strange letters [21:10] OerHeks, curiousx, wileee, Thanks. [21:10] curiousx, Nice to see you again. [21:10] <_Nectar2> OerHeks: I think im typing it correctly but its just outputting this... === ubuntu is now known as Guest43624 [21:11] <_Nectar2> maybe if i login from my working account and do it in terminal? [21:12] curiousx, I will need to register at Freenode, and get a more memorable nickname, like most of you have.

[21:17] Guest43624, yes, they are stored in /usr/share/openclipart/ [21:17] oh wileee... 1000 thanx... oer too ^^ [21:17] but should be available within the program, like openoffice draw etc [21:18] Guest43624, No prob OerHeks is right, I had not thought where the file was. [21:18] one moment [21:18] <_Nectar2> OerHeks: could i delete the Xauthority using nautilus in a the working user and restart? [21:19] <_Nectar2> idk [21:19] _Nectar2, not likely, if it is owned by root:root .. check it in terminal: ls -la [21:20] I found it ^^ 1000 thanx... !!

[21:30] guest6661, Not my top area, but it looks like there is a wait for firmware from somewhere I see two bugs one listing computers affected, look through yourself, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1484159 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1436940 [21:30] waters33637: explain more [21:30] Launchpad bug 1484159 in linux (Ubuntu) "Qualcomm Atheros Device [168c:0042] (rev 30) not working on Ubuntu" [Medium,Triaged] [21:30] Launchpad bug 1436940 in linux (Ubuntu Wily) "Atheros wifi 168c:0041(QCA6174) is not supported" [Medium,Confirmed] [21:30] waters33637: you could try a modeline via configuring a custom config / monitor with xorg [21:31] Ben64: waters33637 has this quirky all in one PC that has a known bug of being detected as having a 1600x1200 display instead of a 1680x1050 - i've no idea how to bypass it, xrandr definitely doesn't show 1680x1050 [21:31] <_Nectar2> i might just reformat :( [21:31] Yep ;o) [21:31] guest6661, Hope there is an option, if not though there are cheap plug and play wifi for linux out there, most does, in the mean time if needed.

Long time since I have been here. Anyways, I am thinking for my future only. I use /mnt/data for my user data on a different partition of the same drive as my root intall of Xubuntu. Then I symlink to it from my ~. Could I use ecryptfs to *only encrypt my /mnt/data/, data only by using it as secret folder to open after I have started the OS and then unmount with ecryptfs to decrypt it. See what I mean from bodhi.zazen's page under "Make an Enc [22:07] rypted Directory here: [22:07] <_Nectar2> EriC^^:should i be doing this from the login (alt + ctrl + f1) or the alternate working user? [22:07] <_Nectar2> termbin.com/ybug [22:08] mikodo: not much point, one area of the disk being encrypted it'd be obvious it's there. [22:08] oops: link: http://bodhizazen.net/Tutorials/Ecryptfs#Unique [22:09] daftykins, I just want it encrypted, not secret/anonymous [22:10] _Nectar2: as long as you put /home/ it's fine [22:11] <_Nectar2> EriC^^:yea [22:11] whatever you're more comfortable with [22:11] <_Nectar2> EriC^^:termbin.com/ybug [22:12] _Nectar2: try mv /home//.bashrc{,.old} [22:13] _Nectar2: then cp /etc/skel/.bashrc /home/ [22:14] make sure /home//.bashrc is owned by your user if you use sudo to copy it [22:15] <_Nectar2> EriC^^:i dont understand. [22:15] _Nectar2: are you using ctrl+alt+f1 or the other user? [22:15] <_Nectar2> EriC^^:other user [22:16] ok, type sudo mv /home//.bashrc{,.old} [22:16] <_Nectar2> EriC^^:okay. did that [22:16] then sudo cp /etc/skel/.bashrc /home/ [22:16] then sudo chown : /home//.bashrc [22:17] <_Nectar2> EriC^^:okay. [22:17] try logging in [22:18] OK this is weird. I have a IP camera recording to a NFS share - I can play the recordings back (from the NFS share) but the directory when I browse it on the ubuntu pc where it is store is empty???? [22:19] permissions maybe? [22:19] <_Nectar2> EriC^^:same problem [22:20] <_Nectar2> :( [22:20] _Nectar2: ok, type sudo cat /var/log/lightdm/x-0.log | nc termbin.com 9999 [22:22] al_nz1: or are the files hidden? :) [22:22] more than likely list perms though yeah [22:22] daftykins: nobody:root [22:23] that's not hugely relevant when i don't know who you are or the perms on the path :) [22:23] <_Nectar2> EriC^^:"no such file or directory. use netcad" [22:23] is what its set to [22:23] normally this camera will store its recordings in /folder/ip_ip_ip_ip/etc [22:23] daftykins: im root [22:23] _Nectar2: type sudo cat /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log | nc termbin.com 9999 [22:24] so for this camera it should be recordings/10_39_139_12/etc [22:24] _Nectar2: also, type sudo mv /home//.bashrc.old /home//.bashrc [22:25] I started the loader for kxstudio at 6:12.
