Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Xubuntu, etc [00:00] In that case, Ubuntu Studio, with Ubuntu 14.04 I believe [00:01] Any one can help me with KDE interface not properly loading? [00:01] Sukai: Browser? [00:01] I tried with the preinstalled Firefox browser, and with Chromium, which I just installed [00:03] Bashing-om i tried that but it seems to hang. does it take a long time? [00:03] Sukai: Ok, let's try something else. I know it is not ideal, but try download Chrome. It has a sort of pre-integrated Flash player. (Chromium does not have this) [00:04] I did this before [00:04] it fails to start [00:04] Which is why I installed chromium [00:04] Besides, I'm not sure Flash is at fault here [00:05] The videos are using html5 support, afaik [00:05] I know youtube does, it's set to use it by default === Guest16046 is now known as ikonia [00:06] I'll check something... [00:06] Hmm... [00:06] Sukai: Mmmm. Ok, this might actually relate to your graphic card drivers [00:06] I'm not that sure [00:07] Unless Soundcloud is also affected by those, because I just checked with it [00:07] Same thing happens [00:07] Youtube did work earlier today, btw [00:08] Might be a driver failing or something, if it's related to the graphics card... [00:08] Quick beginner question: Is running a live version of Ubuntu on top of windows capable of rewritting the windows data. I dont have the password to the windows account and would like to reset it [00:08] Tell you what, I'll try restarting my computer, see if it does anything [00:09] See you laters [00:10] Sukai: K, see you [00:11] I'm back [00:12] ahi2: Should not take long .. pastebin the results . we see if we can see the problem . [00:12] RobBurnettes: I see google hits for "windows password recovery from ubuntu" [00:13] Well for some reason it fixed it [00:13] hi, can i have two grub entries, one that blacklist nvidia in /etc/modprobe.d/, and the other does not? thanks [00:14] Sukai: :) The power of positive think'n . ( I did not rub the crystal ball ) . [00:14] Well anyways [00:15] Hope that doesn't happen again [00:15] (it probably will) [00:15] Well, laters [00:15] hamza: Hybrid graphics ? Intel/Nvidia ? .. try nvidia-prime to control the graphic sets . [00:15] Optimus based laptop, yes hybrid [00:15] I had trouble running the program they all suggested [00:16] Bashing-om: will this work out: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/24670/choose-at-grub-menu-whether-nvidia-driver-should-be-used [00:16] hamza: Yeah .. the recommended thing now is nvidia-prime .. for info terminal command ' apt-cache show nvidia-prime ' . [00:17] It's not letting me change permissions on a directory even though it's owned by the user running the chmod command. There's no output from stdout or stderr but the permissions just don't change [00:17] i have it on my list since it's installed with Nvidia driver, thx! Bashing-om [00:18] RobBurnettes: well, at this point you're into research territory. Or concede defeat and do "proper" windows password recovery. [00:18] bashing-om: it didn't work. it is on another computer so i cant paste it but it is in mandarin anyway and i dont speak mandarin yet. [00:19] Hello, I have posted a photo on how KDE is looking: Can anybody help? Basically it is completely black: http://ibin.co/2JWW5WfZuHey [00:19] Would it be possible to have Ubuntu send a signal out on one of the GPIO pins on a parallel port on power on/awake from sleep? [00:19] (I have a project in mind, but if this will not work then I will need to revise it.) [00:19] hamza: Nvidia-prime is the recommended method. IF you want to control otherwise, then next is a convoluted hack of the xorg.conf file(s). [00:21] Bashing-om: alright, i see Nvidia-prime installed /usr/bin/prime-supported and /usr/bin/prime-select, and a bunch of files, i will go through with how it works, thank you very much [00:22] ahi2: Not havong much info to fo on .. one can try ' gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv E18CE6625CB26B26 ; gpg --export --armor E18CE6625CB26B26 | sudo apt-key add - ' note the trailing dash . replace this key with th one in question .

The output seems OK to me. [02:20] interesting, /me takes notes [02:20] DChapman, remove the -s to perform the operation [02:20] and preface the command with sudo [02:21] Well, I don't need sudo as I already "su -" (hence the #) :) [02:22] I came from Slackware, just not familiar with aptitudes syntax. :) [02:22] DChapman, well you'll be pleased to learn, I think, that apt-get is going away. apt install PackageName would also perform the function [02:23] cfhowlett: Oh, when was that changed? Interesting. [02:23] DChapman, don't remember the exact date, but there was a notice to the effect. === jacob_ is now known as Guest31232 [02:24] Can you use the Tizen SDK with the OpenJDK?

[03:01] PanV_, you could boot from a USB drive and try to fix? [03:02] I am booted right now from a LiveUSB, but I don't know how to fix it [03:02] what' the problem? [03:02] I am going into grub [03:02] *rescue since it cant find normal.mod [03:07] uupz: ? [03:09] Hi ALL had a question about creating an admin user. I may need to give my machine to the Linux admin at work, hence, they'll need a admin user. I'll assume the other user, being admin, will be able to see my files.........that encrypting my home folder will fix that?? === nudtrobert1 is now known as nudtrobert [03:09] jeffrey_f, it should, yes [03:10] Thanks. Just double checking. [03:10] though IIRC they shouldn't be able to see it anyways. I'd hav eto look it up though [03:14] PanV_, did you google the issue? The first link says it's a case of incorrect GRUB files, so you need to reinstall GRUB [03:14] here's the link I'm looking at: http://askubuntu.com/questions/266429/error-file-grub-i386-pc-normal-mod-not-found [03:14] malimbar, I am currently preparing a question at askubuntu. Can't I fix those grub files with a liveusb? === chinyahuang is now known as chinya_huang [03:15] PanV, the wise ubuntu user always has a spare ubuntu USB ... or three [03:15] PanV_, yeah, you should be able to. You could probably speed it up by reading ht elink yourself, but I'm giving it a go with about half my attention if you wait [03:15] Thanks. [03:16] Even though, reinstalling is NOT an option for me... Well it is, but it is the last one [03:16] it says to mount the root partition, and then install grub. The link has command line options for both of them [03:16] PanV_, not reinstalling the OS, just reinstalling grub [03:16] This ain't windows, :) [03:16] Im on 12.04 precise aside from all 3 browsers being buggy sometimes i open up home folder and folders and files dont appear i have to mouse over them to reappear???? [03:16] Oh. By the way I got a broken windows partition, will this affect anything? [03:17] PanV_, it's broken? [03:17] Yes, and I am thinking to format it, since it's windows. But whatever I am trying to fix Ubuntu. [03:18] skynetguy, first thing I'd guess is something a restart would fix. Have you updated and restarted? [03:18] cfhowlett: Ii got a spare ubuntu usb [03:18] which I couldnt find yersteday so I left it for today [03:18] brb [03:19] PanV_, I could imagine it might mess up the windows partition, but IIRC grub is good about finding it. Haven't had a separate windows partition in years though, so I could be off. Luckily we always have google and IRC if things go wrong. [03:21] malimbar: Do I need to backup all my files from both windows and ubuntu? [03:21] malimbar, it does go away with a restart but after a few hours or...well its random i would say...i always run updates nothing has fixed this problem.....im wondering if this is because 12.04 is no longer supported and i thought it was until 2017 or should i upgrade to 14.04 lts 64bit [03:22] PanV_, you shouldn't need to at all. You can if you want, but it's not overwriting any of those files. It's overwriting boot files. [03:23] Ok then!! Give me a sec [03:24] skynetguy, not being supported shouldn't matter for things like stability, unless you kept installing modern versions of software on top of it. [03:24] malimbar: so how should I start? [03:25] PanV_, did you read and write down the commands in the link I sent? [03:25] When you say write down? [03:25] malimbar, i was under that impression that ubuntu doesnt suffer from malware or viruses even sending an error report comes back as an error [03:25] PanV_, well, unless you're already booted into that usb stick right now and want to copy/paste [03:26] Well then. Already done! [03:26] I have no idea where to start... [03:26] skynetguy, I don't know of any malware or viruses for ubuntu or linux in general, but it's not perfect. But that's not really relevant now. Teh concern for not being up to date is compatibility problems with libraries that are no longer updated. [03:27] Sorry for being a pa [03:27] pain in the *** but where should I start? [03:27] Day changed [03:28] skynetguy, it looks like 12.04 is still supported. I thought it was one of the 5-year support versions, it's supported until april 2017. [03:29] malimbar, i have a 64 bit machine running 32bit precise...should i upgrade to 64bit 14.04lts [03:29] skynetguy, These apport reports? [03:29] wileee, huh? [03:30] I threw this question up just a little under an hour ago, so I thought it might be past the point of it being pushy to ask again. :) Any particular reason why apt-get would be (incredibly) slow when installing packages, particularly during "Unpacking package (ver) over (ver)..."? On an SSD with ext4, no less. I read something about dpkg and fsync on certain filesystems, but on a similar setup with a hard disk everything works just fine. [03:30] skynetguy, i'd recommend it. I'm not in professional IT, but it seems like a generally good idea if you're doing a fresh install anyways. [03:30] yeah, if your doing a fresh install, install 64bit [03:31] PanV_, did you look at the link I sent yet? it had a pretty simply 3 steps to it [03:31] Those are supposed to be executed at GRUB, aren't they? [03:31] skynetguy, You mentioned this, even sending an error report comes back as an error. [03:32] malimbar, i would but i have a small problem of backup for my windows partition and ubuntu partition other than that i would upgrade through update manager to 64 bit 14.04ls but i was told it only upgrades to 32bit if your running 32 bit [03:32] PanV_, those executed on the root file system when you're running off a different one (IE the USB stick) [03:32] skynetguy, yeah, you can't easily update 32 bit into 64 bit [03:33] wileee, yeah i click send report then it tells me report unable to send...something like that i cant recall [03:33] skynetguy, you can overwrite it though wish a fresh install [03:33] skynetguy, definitely backup your data before you do that [03:33] malimbar: I can't understand how to do it at a liveusb. o.o [03:33] malimbar, yeah i know [03:33] skynetguy, Sounds like the apport app, it will send on any error including 3rd party install...ppa...etc, so could an error issue. [03:34] PanV_, do you know what a liveUSB is? I need to know how detailed to be here [03:34] malimbar: Yes, and I am booted at it right now. [03:34] wileee, is their a fix?? [03:34] That USB that lets you install Ubuntu or try it without installing. The try without installing is commonly used for fixing Ubuntu. [03:35] PanV_, press ctrl+alt+t to open a terminal, and then type "sudo fdisk -1" [03:36] PanV_, then tell us what it says [03:36] let me paste.ubuntu [03:36] skynetguy, Not sure you understand the ramifications of additional 3rd party stuff, and if this is an issue in your install is all. [03:36] sorry, sudo fdisk -l [03:36] the lower case L, not the number 1 [03:36] http://paste.ubuntu.com/12857524/ [03:37] wileee, well i have addes a 3rd party ppa for netflix....and thats another thing netflix wont work either along with wine [03:38] PanV_, then type "sudo mount /dev/sda5" [03:38] skynetguy, I don;t use netflix but the standard help is just use google chrome [03:38] PanV_, then, to install GRUB 2, you type "sudo grub-install /dev/sda --root-directory=/mnt" [03:38] mount: can't find /dev/sda5 in /etc/fstab [03:39] ... well that's weird. the pastebin you gave has /dev/sda5 [03:41] um, callout to more experienced people - why wouldn't PanV_ be able to mount sda5 when it's listed in fdisk -l ? [03:42] swap mounted or partitions out of order, did not see paste [03:43] wileee, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12857524/ is what he gave earlier [03:43] not that I'm more experienced, but wouldn't you need to tell mount where to mount sda5? "sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mountpoint" ? [03:44] did I not... oh. [03:44] lol [03:44] sorry PanV_ . type "sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt" [03:44] wileee, how do i remove ppa in system setttings [03:45] ppa-purge | skynetguy this is what you want [03:45] !ppa-purge | skynetguy this is what you want [03:45] skynetguy this is what you want: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [03:45] wileee, i dont want to remove all my ppa's [03:45] skynetguy, Individually the bots link show how. [03:46] wileee, is ppa-purge a gui interface because i dont remember the exactly name of ppa i installed [03:46] skynetguy, The key here is additional repos added can add dependencies, this can conflict with the ubuntu repos, so a purge is safest. [03:47] skynetguy, When I do this I google it, so all I can do is that, others might be more exacting. [03:48] malimbar: Sorry I was busy [03:49] I got 10 mins so we gotta go fast XD [03:49] :P [03:49] PanV_, no problem, I'm watching Agents of Shield in the background [03:49] wileee, this is the command i entered and the ppa when i added to repo,.....sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio [03:49] Disk is Mounted [03:49] skynetguy, You can see the ppa's in two place /etc/apt/sources.d and a gui software& sources [03:49] Send me the file when you are done watching it. :P [03:49] PanV_, next is "sudo grub-install /dev/sda --root-directory=/mnt" [03:50] yes [03:50] wileee, how do i acces gui software sources [03:50] Installation finished. No error reports. [03:50] skynetguy, Type the name in a search [03:50] *reported [03:50] PanV_, after that, if the page i read is right adn that's yoru problem, it'll work fine [03:50] wileee, oh ok [03:50] just reboot [03:50] Thanks! [03:51] wileee, you mean software center??? [03:51] Hope it works! if not, please come back. I'm a user, not really that amazing. [03:51] skynetguy, It is installed software, the dash if the ubuntu desktop software & updates actually, my mistake. [03:52] didnt work [03:53] damn. [03:53] wileee, it says its installed but i dont see it in dash?? [03:53] It booted me at Ubuntu, but skype notifications are flashing in a black screen [03:53] Grub works, ubuntu doesnt [03:53] skynetguy, do you see a search when you hit the windows key? [03:53] so... it did boot. But.. skype didn't? [03:53] so it did work, but you have more problems [03:53] Yes. [03:54] well, bright side - progress [03:54] It flashes that I am connected to a wifi [03:54] downside - I know knothing about skype. Try re-installing it? [03:54] No not skype [03:54] wileee, yes you mean dash home right [03:54] Anything popping on desktop and is not a window, is flashing [03:54] wileee, but in software center it says software sources is installed already [03:54] I guess I should hard reboot [03:55] PanV, didn't you do that once already? [03:55] ? [03:55] What? [03:55] OH YES! [03:55] It didnt end up well [03:55] PanV, didn't you hard reboot for the grub issue? [03:55] Yes. But now I didnt have a choice [03:55] ah [03:55] skynetguy, We are lost trying to something "you" think will work, I have no idea what that is and really actually don;t at this point is all, this is way drawn out, sorry. [03:56] booted from liveusb... I gtg now, See ya later! [03:56] see ya later! [03:56] well, or someone else will [03:56] :p [03:56] Well bai [03:57] wileee, when i hit windows key and bring up dash i type in software sources all ...that comes up is software center weird huh [03:58] skynetguy, go to software center. In the edit menu there is an option for "software sources" [04:00] malimbar, where is edit i dont see it [04:01] on the top of the screen. All the menus are integrated into the bar on the top of the screen [04:02] malimbar, it says ...All Software.and ...Installed.. [04:02] malimbar, what am i looking for [04:03] skynetguy, no the top of the window. The top of the screen [04:03] the menu doesn't appear at the very top of the screen until you mouse over it [04:03] you know how windows has thigns like file, edit, view, etc? [04:03] you put your mouse at the top of the screen, adn those things appear [04:04] malimbar, ok i see sorry i was minimized [04:04] skynetguy, it takes a while to learn new things when you're not used to them :o). [04:06] malimbar, will deleting ppa's from gui remove them from system [04:06] skynetguy, yup. careful though - it only removes the ppa. Not the programs you installed form them [04:07] malimbar, what i should say is...does purging them from terminal also remove programs it came with [04:07] skynetguy, purging a ppa only removes the sources. that's what a ppa is. You take it awya what you're really saying is "don't install software from this area anymore." [04:07] malimbar, yeah ok [04:08] skynetguy, if you say "purge xyz program" or the equivalent though you get rid of it. [04:08] malimbar, so you think 3rd party stuff affect system stablity [04:09] skynetguy, not necessarily. It's not just because it's 3rd party. it's because software in general affects things. [04:09] Its' [04:10] It's why for security sake, every OS I know of says "don't install programs you don't trust completely" [04:10] malimbar, well i think this started happening when i installed a ppa for netflix from some darn website ....i just removed netflix and removed the ppa's [04:10] a... ppa for netflix? netflix doesn't have a ppa [04:10] lol, I wonder what it installed [04:11] btw, netflix works in chrome. If you install chrome via google you should be able to use netflix just fine - I do [04:11] I don't think it's malicious btw - probably just changed some settnigs to get around some limitations [04:12] hello [04:12] malimbar, now i know i tried it on google chrome [04:12] i have an advanced audio question [04:12] some how my audio is working and pulse is not running [04:12] and i am confused [04:19] Okay, so I've been asked to try to reinstall my keyboard drivers. I have a laptop, specifically a Toshiba c650. What do I do? [04:27] what? why do you need to reinstall your keyboard drivers [04:30] Banjooie, hopefully this helps though : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallUSBKeyboard [04:32] Okay, Malimbar, so I replaced my internal laptop keyboard. Ever since then, a particular telnet program (Tinyfugue) has refused to accept any input after a single second has passed from its opening. [04:33] Key-mon says there are no keys being pressed that shouldn't, and I don't see anything else wrong that would cause this. Someone suggested reinstalling the keyboard drivers. [04:34] Banjooie: is it only happening in Tinyfugue? [04:34] Way above my head. I can't figure out in particular why only a single program couldn't grab the program. Best I got is the link. [04:34] LoLz, just one program refuses keypresses, i don't believe that is caused by a new keyboard. [04:35] totally agree. must be an issue with tinyfugue === _ruben_ is now known as _ruben [04:36] Banjooie: I'm no expert but perhaps you could run an strace on the program [04:36] Banjooie: check system calls and see if you spot and error [04:36] an error [04:36] It is only happening in tinyfugue, but I've been told it's a little touchy about metakeys? [04:37] OK, so assume I am literally a moron, is there a guide as to how I use strace [04:37] As it /stands/ I feel like I type 'strace -o tf.txt tf' [04:38] Banjooie: yes just google linux strace...I read a tut a while back. Just an option. [04:39] Banjooie: It really sounds like it might be worth a shot if thats the only app your having trouble with. [04:39] OK, I have here a bunch of...stuff, now to learn how to read it. Okay! [04:41] Banjooie: Ya,,I hoped not to give an impression it would be easy. Perhaps even not a viable solution. [04:42] Funnily enough, after running `echo "force-unsafe-io" > /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/02apt-speedup`, dpkg began to run incredibly quickly. What would make fsync run so slowly on an SSD, I wonder? [04:43] ....Well, hm. What I have learned is tinyfugue likes to find out what time of day it is a lot. [04:44] Banjooie: There's a tut somewhere online on how to read and filter the output... [04:45] Hate to be useless and all, I do apologize. [04:45] Banjooie: If there's a problem with a system call it should be noticeable. [04:49] My completely unprofessional opinion says this line is weird that popsup a lot [04:49] 28404 select(1, [], [], NULL, {41, 690169}) = 0 (Timeout) [04:50] Hi everyone [04:51] Banjooie: Not sure just typed "man 2 select" to look at the system call man page. [04:52] Banjooie: However, since I'm not using the malfunctioning program I can't tell if its relevent. === jd is now known as Guest44979 [04:53] Tinyfugue is basically a telnet client. [04:54] I don't know if that helps. [04:56] Banjooie: Not really. Unless I mis-understood your problem the keyboard functions are problematic. [04:57] Yeah, the keyboard functions are the issue [04:57] Banjooie: only with this app. Correct [04:57] So far as I've found. [04:57] I upgraded to wiley and now my display manager doesn't seem to want to start. Any hints? [04:57] Banjooie: Have you checked the usual suspects...conf file. [04:58] Banjooie, use an other app, TF is discontinued in 2007 .. http://sourceforge.net/projects/tinyfugue/files/ and this ticket #31 http://sourceforge.net/p/tinyfugue/bugs-and-support/31/ [04:58] Banjooie: perhaps there is a KB layout discrepency [04:58] ...wait. [04:58] "I am unable to supply any input." [04:59] so it is not your keyboard, if that makes you happy [04:59] Yeah, it does. I don't know why it only /started/ after I switched keyboards, but [04:59] I'm glad someone else has the issue [05:02] Banjooie: So you purchased a keyboard that caused a bug in an application that prior to the switch worke fine. Sounds like my luck. [05:02] What if I told you that I have purchased this exact keyboard three times now with no issue. [05:07] Anyone here? [05:07] yes [05:07] Maybe just me and you active [05:08] I see. I mainly come here for help. Are you willing to help me solve an issue after midnight? [05:08] :v [05:09] Possibly, I'm just getting back into Linux, and new to Debian / Ubuntu [05:09] Right. [05:09] I will at least try [05:09] !ask | Zetta [05:09] Zetta: 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 [05:10] My temperature is unreasonably high. It happens when I open certain websites. Such as megamitensei.wikia.com or neoseeker.com . [05:11] Is there flash content? [05:11] It shouldn't be at 84 degrees by just opening those websites. [05:11] Noes. [05:11] PC is 4GB RAM i3. [05:11] OerHeks: Got it. [05:12] The top process is the Mozilla Firefox. [05:12] My i3 in toshiba laptop gets in high 60's with flash content sometimes. You could try "no script" firefox extension and enable one at a time and watch temp? that's as good as i can answer [05:14] Actually mine doesn't get high with flash content at all. [05:14] That's what bothers me. [05:15] I can run YouTube videos without the fan spinning like crazy. [05:15] I had the same issue with my laptop. Have you cleaned it out with dust lately? [05:15] I literally went down 40 celsius by cleaning my laptop out properly, from 90 to 50. [05:15] Hum... could it be the case?! [05:15] It was..kiinda hilarious [05:15] Hum... damn. [05:16] Go ahead and try "no script" extension and load the pages that are causing it and see if it changes anything. I would suggest cleaning also, but it seems it would get hot on other processes too [05:16] I bought it about six months ago. Never cleaned it. Actually I'm not familiar with the procedure. [05:16] I'll try both installing this script and clean it. [05:16] Thanks. [05:17] I have had a laptop that was new with a horrible thermal paste job. [05:17] Will check a YouTube video on how to do it. It's better than if you try to explain it to me here. [05:17] Oh, really? :\ [05:18] Intel Core i3 2120 vs AMD E1 1200 >> Much higher Maximum operating temperature 100 °C vs 69.1 °C [05:18] so it can be normal, 84'C [05:18] But in all honesty it seems only a few pages are causing the heat issue. Check your cpu usage while you're on those pages. You can use "top" on command line [05:20] Indeed. The CPU usage is very high when loading the page, then it drops down to normal which is around 15% with only Firefox with 6/7 tabs opened. [05:22] Zetta, disable ondemand script, reboot, leave your laptop in idle for about an hour. if it still heats up call the mechanic. [05:22] Zetta, oh. and you have to set cpu governor as performance for that [05:22] need steps ? [05:22] Zetta: I'm also running an I3 in a laptop and I just tried those 2 pages you mentioned. Mine is at 55c [05:22] badbodh: Yes, please. :) [05:23] droidster: I see. [05:23] Zetta, step 1. sudo update-rc.d ondemand disable [05:24] badbodh: Done. [05:24] step 2. install one of these: cpufrequtils, tlp [05:24] if you have of those installed already we can proceed to step 3. [05:25] Instaled tlp. [05:25] don;t install both, will clash [05:25] Right. === neon is now known as Guest1959 [05:26] Zetta: I jumped up to 70c on the wiki site u linked [05:27] Zetta, ok. sudo nano /etc/default/tlp , scroll down and look for "CPU_SCALING_GOVERNOR_ON_AC=performance" [05:27] I've noticed up to 90 'C after compiling a large app. so it is usual with i3. [05:27] usually it's ondemand, change the value to performance [05:27] badbodh: Sorry, I checked and tpl installation failed. Instaled cpufrequtils instead. [05:27] droidster: Whoa, really? [05:27] Zetta, not tpl, tlp :) [05:28] anyways. cpufrequtils will do fine [05:28] Oh. My bad. === Blaster is now known as Guest40950 [05:29] if cpufrequtils installed run - sudo nano /etc/init.d/cpufrequtils [05:29] scroll down find 'governor' section, change ondemand to performance [05:30] you may share the contents on pastebin if you need pinpointing [05:31] Change. [05:31] Changed.* [05:32] badbodh: Thanks for this info, I'm going to try this myself [05:32] OerHeks, ubuntu doesn;t come with tlp or cpufrequtils installed right? or any similar power managing script. [05:33] no, just install the package, and run it without sudo from the menu. [05:33] Zetta, now you may reboot. you can check current cpu frequency with "cat /proc/cpuinfo" , note this down. make sure cpu is running at max freq after reboot, leave it idle for an hour. [05:33] i deleted vmlinuz file how to recreate it [05:33] Make sure it's running at max frequency you say? [05:34] помогите установить свой хостинг [05:34] Zetta, if heat still builds up, you got hardware issue. else revert the changes (back to ondemand) and clean dust off your laptop :D [05:34] !ru | Guest1959 [05:34] Guest1959: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [05:34] badbodh: Understood. Will do it. Thanks, sir. [05:35] Zetta, run "cat /proc/cpuinfo" , it'll show maximum frequency. if not then you may have missed a step. [05:36] After reboot, right? [05:36] yes === Blaster is now known as Guest17382 [05:38] Will try running it now. [05:39] Zetta, leave it idle. disable 'sleep' in power settings though. you don;t want it to fall asleep. [05:39] What should I look for again? After the hour's passed. [05:40] temperature. run 'sensors' now, check temp. [05:40] see if it heats up after an hour of idle. [05:40] 45º [05:40] oooooh I see [05:40] I see it. [05:40] 45 is fair. check after an hour of idle. [05:40] Makes sense. [05:41] Did you come up with it? [05:41] yup. i can't even code a 'hello world' though [05:41] hhahaha [05:41] Thanks, once again. [05:41] np. see you later. [05:42] Hope I'll have good news by then. :D [05:42] Zetta, run 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' now and check frequency [05:42] badbodh: what does cpufreq means? [05:42] Can't seem to find it. [05:43] lubarch, frequency of the cpu? [05:43] Zetta, it's in the list. find it. [05:43] or just share output on pastebin [05:44] http://pastie.org/10492152 [05:44] cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i cpu [05:44] would that help narrow it down? [05:45] Mine has cpu mghz listed instead of naming it as frequency [05:45] droidster: Oh. Perhaps that's it. [05:45] Zetta, looks like it didn't work as expected. [05:45] "cpu MHz : 933.000" it says [05:46] Eeeeh. [05:46] should say 2700 [05:46] yeah its still downclocking [05:47] you ran 'sudo update-rc.d ondemand disable' right? [05:47] badbodh: So ondemand is causing his heat issues with the cpu upclocks, you think? [05:47] badbodh: I thought I was supposed to manually disable the command? [05:47] droidster, no. ondemand actually helps reduce power consumption (less heat) [05:47] badbodh: Anyway, I checked and it's still on. [05:48] badbodh: So him disabling ondemand will cause it to use full power consumption? but reduce his heat? [05:48] if you run ^ that, it will remove a few symlinks from rc(autostart) folders [05:49] droidster, no. cpu will ru at full frequency, but idle. if heat still builds up, he's got to see the mchanic. [05:49] badbodh: or you are having him run at full clock and power consumption to check to see if his heat reises [05:49] *ru/run [05:49] badbodh: Oh ok yeah I understand now, we are doing this for a test [05:49] yep [05:49] And how do I do to enable it again? [05:49] If it doesn't work. [05:49] Zetta, "sudo update-rc.d ondemand enable" duh! [05:49] AHAHAHAH of course! [05:50] lol [05:50] well let's reboot [05:50] yes [05:51] badbodh: I'm on the same page now :), sorry for the misunderstanding [05:51] np. i'm a newbie too. [05:51] badbodh: I was thinking that somehow ondemand was bugged causing some proc's to build heat. IT makes perfect since to disable it so it runs and full clock and power while idle in order to test his machine [05:52] 50º [05:52] If it's 60º after an hour it's trouble, right? [05:53] ondemand script runs cpu at full freq during startup, then you login, atfer a minute or so it will set cpu governor to ondemand. [05:53] so you get fast boot, but balanced cpu usage during normal operation [05:53] not 60, we're talking 80+ [05:54] That's clearer. [05:54] Do I close the chat too? [05:54] depends what client you are using. if it's weechat, don;t bother. [05:55] XChat [05:55] So basically if you're running a console based irc client you can leave open [05:55] why xchat, use hexchat. it's better xchat. [05:55] Will do. ;) [05:55] hexchat is a fork of xchat which is not maintaned right? [05:55] xchat has been dead since 2008, or 2010 something like it [05:56] It came installed on Xubuntu. [05:56] stupid xubuntu [05:57] basically you keep your cpu usage to minimum during an hour. unity and kde consume some even if you don't use it :D [05:58] Right. I'll let you know the results afterwards then. [05:58] yep [05:58] Talk to you guys soon. [05:58] check the frequency now? [05:58] lemme see [05:58] I'm using Linux Mint, was away from Linux for a long time. I installed this and seen hexchat and noticed it was almost identical to xchat. After some research I noticed it was a fork [05:58] mhz should be 2700 [05:59] ooooooh [05:59] it's 933.00 [05:59] 933.000 * [05:59] Maybe xubuntu is using another daemon to govern cpu? [05:59] sad. we're missing something. [06:00] Hi; i don't know if anyone can help me but please hint me in PV because i haven't used IRC in really long and can't remember how to filter all the stuff popping up... my question is... why doesn't ubuntu work... i mean... i have two laptops... and i can't, for the life of me get a gui when trying to install... i have managed after messing around a lot before; to get it installed on one but the problem is still present... ubuntu will not load with a [06:00] gui.. i MUST close the lid; wait for standby, and reopen in order to access ubuntu; i don't know what to do i've been googling this for months; no solution [06:00] badbodh: Would you like me to try it on my mint installation to see if it works? just for testing? [06:00] could be. there's tlp, cpufreqd, laptop-mode [06:00] droidster: Would you do it? [06:01] Zetta: sure [06:01] just moment [06:01] droidster: You're the man. [06:01] Zetta, let's wait for some expert. meanwhile search in the web , 'setting ubuntu governor to performance' etc [06:01] droidster, it will work on mint and ubuntu trusty. [06:01] gars28: what is the model of laptop(s) [06:01] hp [06:01] pavilion g6 [06:01] some things are diff in 15.04 [06:01] both are [06:02] i tried 3 versions of ubuntu; thinking the LTS would work... didn't chane anything [06:02] gars28: dual boot or no? [06:02] no [06:02] even live CD doesn't work [06:02] Current: cpu MHz : 799.906 - Ill check back in few [06:02] i managed to get live CD in a couple of times by disabling UEFI [06:03] but everywehre, it says UEFI is supported, not to turn it off; so i'm confused [06:03] gars28: have you disabled safe boot? [06:03] ya [06:03] and quick boot [06:03] there is no quick boot [06:03] droidster: Right! [06:04] Latrodectus, it's fastboot and secureboot if i recall [06:04] gars28: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/does-linux-work-on-the-hp-pavilion-g6-934335/ [06:04] ^different distro, but same problem [06:04] fastboot in windows 8+, secureboot in uefi settings [06:04] on the G6 there's only the secure boot [06:05] gars28: from what i read it seems like a driver issue [06:05] theres no windows on it; i formatted the thing.... ij ust want ubuntu on it :P [06:05] i tried installing the right drivers on it; problem still arises 3/4 times [06:06] it could just be bad chipsets [06:06] on both laptops? [06:06] gars28: disable secure/fastboot enable legacy mode. Run live-CD. Install. reboot [06:06] hp laptops hate linux anyway :P [06:06] ^ [06:07] i thought hp used to work with linux XD [06:07] i tried to get linux on a hp once but gave up [06:07] some models hardcode the efi to boot windows 10 bootloader exclusively [06:07] acer is a safe bet for linux [06:07] i've always had linux on my hps but did have some issues; didn't know it was home to hp to have issues with linux tho [06:07] oh [06:07] i'll keep in mind then [06:07] gars28: xubuntu runs great on my $229 HP laptop.... [06:08] k :P :) thanks opsman [06:10] droidster, badbodh, Guys, I'll have to go right now. Will be back afterwards. I'll check if you're still here by then. Byes! [06:10] Zetta: cpu MHz : 1864.929 [06:10] gars28: WARNING::during installation of dual boot system (you want to keep windows) the installation should find the win OS. [06:11] i don't want to dual boot [06:11] badbodh: It's not at 799 anymore but at that new clock speed after disabling ondemand [06:11] i can't stand windows 10; it's the reason why i'm dealing with allof this hassle... [06:11] gars28: if it doesn't then during boot you must select from boot menu to boot linux installation. [06:11] droidster, unless it is the max clock speed of your cpu, something else is interfering. [06:11] badbodh: After checking the clock is jumping up and down so disabling ondemand don't seem to be working for me either [06:12] gars28: working on my son for a year to switch to linux.... [06:12] gars28: 30 days of win10 did it for me. [06:12] droidster, if you have some other power managing script like tlp, laptop-mode etc they will clash [06:13] must have only one, like monogamy [06:13] give him a 300$ hp laptop with windows 10; if that thing has not been thrown out the windows b4 the end of trial period... give him ubuntu for a day... my only prob is the monitor thing... and skype but that's a detail [06:13] i got tlp [06:13] badbodh: Yeah I was trying to help him out, he must have something clashing also [06:14] droidster, it's possible the update-rc isn;t working for him, probably needs systemctl commands instead. === mayo_ is now known as Guest52748 [06:17] badbodh: Another thing he might of done is change the part that was commented out as example [06:17] gars28: running xubuntu-vivid on HP 15-1009wn with skype just fine. I did add 4gb of ram for $49 [06:17] badbodh: that's what I jsut did [06:17] droidster, *facepalm* [06:18] oh opsman i have 6gb of ram; skype runs... but skype has issues; if you close it; you can't re-open it; you must kill it in term in order to re-open it lol [06:19] droidster, i have too much faith in humanity. i never needed to be told that !- // or # means commented. it's pretty obvious when you look at it. [06:20] gars28, unity doesn;t support system tray of skype and similar apps. don;t close it, or disable systray icon [06:21] badbodh: I changed the settings that was not commeted out and same thing. I atleast tried to help him [06:22] then i've missed something. on my laptop disabling ondemand + cpufrequtils does the trick. [06:22] badbooth: that's what i'm saying; it doesn't run great... making it unpleasant. it's not the end of the world but for newbies who enjoy the app... it may be a good thing to keep the popular "userfriendly" apps, "userfriendly" lol pers. i find it annoying, someone who doesn't know linux; may think it's way too much [06:24] gars28, stop exaggerating your annoyance. please do realise that skype isn;t a native linux app. that somebody has successfully ported a microsoft product into linux is an achievement in itself. [06:24] we've all been annoyed by skype. [06:25] just focus on making calls, not nicknacks of the GUI [06:25] moving on... [06:26] it is an achievement! :) i sound more negative than i truly think i guess; sry guys [06:29] gars28: it's ok..it should function properly regardless. Legit gripe. I don't have that problem on my system. However I don't run it often and it doesn't sit in the system tray- too bloated. [06:30] * badbodh is waiting for the day when ie6 will be fully ported into linux system. with toolbars and pop-ups of free screensavers.

[06:37] goodnight [06:40] goodnight [06:41] hi anyone familiar with vim?? may I ask, I have 2 questions. 1. I open file with ctrl-p and :ls the buffer numbers shows something like 1 & 3. why the buffer number is 3 instead of 2?? does that means there has hidden buffer? if so, how can I just remove hidden buffer, or just make the buffer number to 2 [06:41] vcoinminer: b:2 will change to buffer 2, but likely it's gone (:q or :bd) [06:42] er.. :b 2 [06:43] vcoinminer: maybe the #vim guys know? [06:44] somsip ya, :bd kill the buffer, and that's the case if you have buffer 1&2(hidden?)&3. but I would like to just make new file as number 2 [06:44] lotuspsychje oh, thanks. :D [06:46] vcoinminer: buffers will be allocated as they are needed AFAIK [06:47] somsip hmm. that must broken somewhere because some plugins... thanks. :) === michael__ is now known as Guest358 [07:37] How do I tell why a package was initially installed as a dependency?

I believe... === BlackDevil is now known as DarkShadow-x [09:16] Bleakwise: On another note, Ubuntu will be switching to systemd in the near future (and already has started to fully move), so you'll be wanting to look into systemd-networkd which deals with virtual network devices.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [09:51] I have installed maldet on Ubuntu 12.04 with ClamAV. Postfix is also running there. The problem is that when doing manual scans I get the report with the results and also an email is sent to the email address I have set in the maldet configuration. But the problem is that I was hoping the maldet itself should scan daily by default and send emails with its findings, which in my case it doesnt.

[10:21] does ubuntu have transmission embedded? [10:21] b100s: Alt+F8 ? or Alt+Middle-mouse button ? [10:21] agent_white: i think i've tracked down why i'm getting such verbose logging in auth.log - looks like someone installed snoopy on the box which records every since command run by any user [10:22] lyss, yes it does. [10:22] agent_white: thanks all the same (my problem was my auth.log file ended up 5gb over the weekend) [10:22] chrismck1nnel: Generally, auth.log is (as the name of it says) for authorizations, as well as usages of sudo. [10:22] lyss, at least in the gnome edition. [10:22] agent_white: yeah exactly, that's why i was so confused, but it looks like a third party app is to blame [10:23] agent_white, thx a lot [10:23] chrismck1nnel: Oh wow! What in the hell... why it records in auth.log is... not smart on snoopy's part. [10:23] b100s: Cheers!

[10:27] chrismck1nnel: Looks like auth.log is the default location for pretty much all the distros it's aimed towards... maybe toss-out snoopy and just filter entries from syslog?

[13:10] polishpoliceforc, how are you [13:10] polishpoliceforc: or you mean unity alone? [13:10] i'm good how are you all? [13:10] unity alone [13:11] I'm fine [13:11] i want to get rid of unity and install xfce to save more space [13:11] polishpoliceforc: better install xubuntu fresh then [13:11] you'd have been better off installing xubuntu from the get-go [13:11] but you won't save much disk space imo [13:11] daftykins, OK，I'm wrong, I don't want to do anything! [13:12] polishpoliceforc: or a lubuntu, tweaked for space and speed [13:12] but ugly ;) [13:13] daftykins, Can you help me see if I'm writing a script right? [13:13] Hi! [13:13] Hey - installing Ubuntu on a mac and he wants the mac-style KB layout.. xmodmap mostly works but unity still treats the old super key as super -- can I disable *all* unity/compiz keyboard shortcuts ? [13:14] When I run /etc/init.d/lightdm start it hangs on 'starting lightdm (vis systemctl): lightdm.service' [13:14] I'm not able to reboot at the moment because of a long running operation in progress [13:15] I've reinstalled the lightdm package, but that hasn't helped [13:15] what else can I do [13:16] ulot0: no, that's not on topic for this channel. [13:16] ulot0: maybe the ##programming guys know howto write scripts [13:17] im havinga gain issues with autocomplete (tab) on a cli. There is a file named book.rar I want to unrar, so it should be unrar bo... and autocomplete. Autocomplete does not woirk [13:17] what am I doing wrong? [13:18] ipoxfred you are missing a parameter [13:18] ok , I'm sorry,bye [13:18] unrar -e bo ( then tab ) [13:18] ModFather, why the -d? and how do I get a list of parameters? [13:19] ipoxfred: man unrar [13:19] ipoxfred yes man unrar , also you can check this out http://sysbible.org/2008/07/25/unrar-command-line-usage-under-debian-linux/ [13:19] What log files could I look at to determine what the problem is? [13:20] hey all, i deleted the /var/lib/dpkg/lock file because it was complaining that apt-get was being used. Now I can't install anything. what should I do? [13:20] jophish: maybe lightdm.log? [13:20] Can I set up my ubuntu to use static IP if dhcp fails? [13:20] tsp1, yes [13:20] pHuNk3r5: recovermode/fix broken packages [13:21] !recovery | pHuNk3r5 [13:21] pHuNk3r5: If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode [13:21] tsp1, do you mean, use static IP conditionally, if you detect somehow that dhcp is failing? that i don't know. [13:21] i dont get it, the command does nothing "unrar -e book.rar" [13:21] wrong? [13:21] I have a computer that is beeing moved from one location to another, and maybe back [13:21] one place has dhcp, the other does not. [13:22] lotuspsychje: nothing seems to be turning up there when I run /etc/init.d/lightdm start [13:22] o_be_one: [13:22] lotuspsychje, It doesn't fail to boot. It just errors when I try to apt-get install new programs [13:22] pbx: so then it's static IP conditionaly [13:22] ipoxfred : unrar e book.rar [13:23] pHuNk3r5: it gave you the error while software center and using apt-get simultaneously probably [13:23] pHuNk3r5: so erasing that lock isnt the way to go [13:24] tank you guys [13:24] ipoxfred you are welcome === __NiC is now known as _NiC [13:24] jophish: can you provide some more info, ubuntu version? why isnt lightdm starting by itself? [13:25] little off-topic, But can you guys help me find a suitable wifi router for 100mbps internet connection? [13:26] thatkid: try ##hardware mate [13:26] lotuspsychje: sure thing: ubuntu 15.04 x86_64. It starts by itself on boot. I'm recovering a 3tb hdd at the moment, and that's taking a long time, I left it overnight and when I came back I wasn't getting any displays (Ctrl-Alt-F2 doesn't switch to a tty either). I sshed into the machine and ran /etc/init.d/lightdm restart to no avail [13:27] the disk recovery still has some time to go and I'd rather not reboot in the middle of it [13:27] lotuspsychje: thanks for suggestion, I'll ask in that channel :) [13:27] jophish: should that not be sudo start lightdm or something [13:28] lotuspsychje: I get a problem with upstart doing it like that: start: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused [13:29] jophish: sudo service start lightdm? [13:29] so, how do I make ubuntu choose network configuration conditionaly? [13:29] tsp1: you're going to need to interact with the system upon move regardless. [13:29] jophish: or sudo service sddm restart [13:30] jophish: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM [13:31] !bot [13:31] Hi!

[13:34] EriC^^: same behavior [13:34] Cerealkill3r: dont think so, you dont like left unity sidebar? [13:34] lotuspsychje, Not really ^__^ [13:35] but I like some of unity's features,that's why i haven't switched to gnome [13:35] Cerealkill3r: how about a dock at bottom? [13:35] like cairo/docky? not really [13:35] jophish: are you sure the recovery is working? did you try tmux attach ? [13:35] Cerealkill3r: i think terminal and classicmenu are your best bet :p [13:36] lotuspsychje, It's kind of weird to configure tho,i used alacarte but it won't work that well [13:36] Cerealkill3r: dont know that1 [13:36] !info alacarte [13:36] alacarte (source: alacarte): easy GNOME menu editing tool.

[13:40] EriC^^: yeah, I'm watching it tick by right now [13:40] Where does one get the Alternative installer for Trusty LTS that has the RAID config options? [13:41] SuperLag: it's not separate media anymore. [13:41] just use server or desktop [13:41] daftykins: and how do you do RAID config from the desktop installer?

I can`t install libre office in this OS. i have downloaded the libreoffice .gz version and tried to double click installing process, but the office section of this Os doesnt show libre office [13:46] * Guest57 is waiting for help [13:46] SuperLag: which mode are you looking to do specifically? [13:46] daftykins: it lets you do LVM... but I don't see how you set up RAID, and that's what I'm trying to do, rather than install and set up a degraded RAID array after the fact [13:47] Guest57: you need to use packages, not manual downloads. [13:47] daftykins: I have 4 identical drives. I'd like to use one pair for /, the other pair for /home [13:47] daftykins: in two RAID1 arrays [13:47] daftykins: u mean.. to install from through terminal right? [13:48] Guest57: doesn't have to be terminal based, just package management based instead of downloading a .tar.gz like you did [13:48] SuperLag: well you were already linked to the relevant help page, did you look? [13:49] daftykins: of course, and there's no helpful information there [13:49] yes there is :/ you want the parts referring to mdadm [13:49] I posted a link. I said that link wasn't helpful. [13:49] you can partition the disks and create the pairing immediately, then select the md devices during the manual partitioning stage of the desktop installer [13:50] what are you referring to, then? [13:50] daftykins: and no, you cannot pair immediately. [13:51] yes you can [13:51] http://askubuntu.com/questions/505446/how-to-install-ubuntu-14-04-with-raid-1-using-desktop-installer [13:51] I'm looking at the installer with my own two eyes, right this second. There's no option for that. [13:51] i didn't say the installer had the option to do it [13:51] i said it can be done :) [13:51] Okay. Checking that out.

[14:10] RubyDZ: why are you using a release that is no longer supported? [14:11] daftykins: yeah it's a blue screen running tests right now [14:11] auronandace: that's not relevant when the query is a live session not booting.

[14:27] Perhaps then we can rule out the hardware issue possibility? [14:27] yes. then check if any process is eating up cpu [14:28] badbodh, Definately Firefox. [14:28] try clearing the cache [14:28] badbodh, It's weird because it's taking a lot more then it should. I'm using Linux for less then a month . [14:28] remove history> select "everything" instead of "last hour" , and clean only cache [14:29] Or maybe a bit more but certainly less than two.

[14:30] if you still get high cpu usage, the websites are faulty [14:30] SuperLag: try not to be so resistant in future :) it's highly demotivating when giving help. [14:31] badbodh, Do you mind trying access megamitenseiwikia and neoseeker.com to check it out if it happens the same there? [14:33] Zetta, yeah .... 39 % cpu if the culprit is FF , maybe flashplayer is involved [14:33] Zetta, just read back, on what videocard? the buildin intel or ? [14:33] Zetta, were you playing the videos on neoseeker ? [14:33] The building intel, yes, OerHeks. [14:34] badbodh, no. It's curious because it's just some sites. [14:34] badbodh, on YouTube I can play videos without the fan going crazy however there are websites that I can't. [14:34] Zetta: sounds like flash [14:35] disable flash plugin completely and try. flash on ff is outdated and causes trouble on mine too. [14:35] auronandace, any first step suggestions? [14:35] badbodh, alright. [14:35] Hi. I have added a few gpg keys to /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d and they don't work. They keys are named .gpg and are in the form of plaintext public keys. Have I misunderstood something here? [14:35] even chromium's pepperflash runs bad on dailymotion. i disable flash everywhere. html5 runs nicely. [14:35] i got intel onboard too [14:36] Zetta is it the only gpu in that machine? i can imagine with dual gpu, without prop drivers, that the cpu goes bonkers [14:36] Hi. I'm trying to insert a script in to the boot process with initramfs to modify the LVM volume/physical UUID. I tried a script in /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/ but the pvchange command says it can't find /dev/sda5 ("/dev/sda5: Couldn't find device. Check your filters"). Where can I insert a script so that it runs after sda5 exists but before LVM makes it active/in use. [14:36] I am using kde program under ubuntu.

However no error messages shows up. === Bonn333_ is now known as Bonn333 [14:40] I have no problems with flash..Xubuntu-vivid [14:40] badbodh: Yes, but it's a bit more complicated than "add-apt-repository" :P The servers do not have access to the internet. Packages are made available to them through a local server that is running apt-cacher-ng [14:40] Zetta, lspci shows everything on your mobo. includes your gpu, sound card, network wifi etc [14:41] badbodh, I tried just "lspci" and it worked. [14:41] a few of the packages come from third party repositories, so I'm trying to distribute the proper keys [14:41] Hi there, I [14:41] Zetta, lspci -k | grep VGA [14:42] http://pastie.org/10493130 [14:42] Segfault_, control center> software sources > second last tab > import keys [14:42] I'm having a problem formatting a SD card; it gives me the error: Error sync. after initial wipe : Timed out waiting for object (udisk-error-quark, 0) [14:42] named 'authentication' [14:42] badbodh, 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [14:44] Zetta, yours is newer hardware :) disable flash. should be fine. cpu will still be used though, around 50-60% when playing videos on html5. but won;t overheat. [14:44] So I can ask my phone "Okay, Google, what is seventeen times nine?" And I can ask my PC, when booted to Windows 10, "Hey Cortana, what is five times five?" (I don't trust MicroSoft on harder problems). But my PC is usually booted to Ubuntu. Any rumors about a similar voice-activated feature for my favorite OS? [14:44] badbodh, Understood. Thanks. [14:44] wad: no and that's off topic -> #ubuntu-offtopic [14:45] wad, they are working on it right now, testing statges. [14:45] camag27, install gparted and use it to remove your sd card's partitions. create a new partition and format it. [14:46] i find gnome-disk-utility a bit obtuse [14:46] Just disable it in firefox, right? [14:46] "Error sync. after initial wipe" indicates you didn;t wait long enough to let the formatting complete [14:46] Or should I input any command on the Terminal? === agent_wh1te is now known as agent_white [14:46] Zetta, firefox > plugins > never active [14:47] Did it then. [14:47] play videos now [14:47] Zetta, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ <-- play this and test [14:48] will run on html5 player [14:48] HackerII, thanks! Glad there is some movement. :-D [14:48] HackerII, do you happen to know what the project is called, so I can search for it? [14:49] Coretemp is 63º [14:49] badbodh: Um.. These are servers, there is no control center here. I need an automated way to distribute some gpg keys to approximately 400 different servers, doing it manually is not an option [14:49] It runs normal. [14:49] However I must notice Adobe Flash was not listed on my plugins [14:51] Segfault_, then use "apt-key add /path/to/your/key-file" [14:52] hey fr? [14:52] btw ubuntu-server has a separate channel. this one's primarily meant for desktop users. [14:52] This website made my temperature go up to 80º omg http://downloads.tomsguide.com/Epiphany,0305-1192.html [14:53] Plays video okay, but then enters site and sh*t starts spinning. lol [14:53] Zetta, even Mozilla seems not to trust their NPAPI architecture anymore since adobe flash is full of security breaching bugs. maybe the chrome(ium) PPAPI is a bit more secure on linux (sandboxed). [14:53] !language | Zetta [14:53] Zetta: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [14:54] *** won;t do :) [14:54] Oh, sorry. :D [14:54] tomsguide appears to be a heavy website. install midori and see. "sudo apt-get install midori" [14:55] if midori lags too, then website's fault [14:55] I hope it's just the browser. [14:55] lots of images and fancy styling [14:56] badbodh, is midori more stable nowerdays? i remember it to be quite a nice broswer but when one tab crashes it pulled down the whole broswer some time ago... [14:56] syntroPi, midori is new, but catching up. it's a good lightweight alternative browser. [14:57] Zetta, you may also try palemoon. it's a firewfox clone but sticks to older UI. [14:58] badbodh, yes i tried it some time ago and liked it, but they didnt implement one process per tab (or such) then. i faced often myself cursing because the whole thing went down with all tabs. i tried the gtk2 and gtk3 variants [14:59] for multiprocess use aurora. do note that it's unstable. [14:59] badbodh, do you know of a lightweight alternative which does some sandboxing and tab isolation? [15:00] I guess I'll try downloading a different version of Linux. :\ [15:00] erm, lightweight and tab-isolation are kinda see-saw thing. [15:00] Zetta, all distros are same inside. you won;t find relief unless you figure out what's the issue. [15:00] !info uzbl [15:00] uzbl (source: uzbl): Lightweight Webkit browser following the UNIX philosophy. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.0.0~git.20120514-1.1 (vivid), package size 134 kB, installed size 448 kB [15:00] badbodh, Oh damn. [15:01] also try firefox's channel and forum [15:01] Zetta, despite being written by google i made very good experience with chromium browser [15:01] syntroPi, I'll get it a try then. [15:02] yes ... 230 MB of software [15:02] Problem is that there is much unjustified heat. [15:02] #georchestra [15:02] And it's not hardware since it doesn't happen with Windows 7. [15:02] Zetta, which graphics card does your system use? [15:02] It's curious because things run smoother here. [15:02] Hello. [15:02] Zetta, best you can do is try different web browsers and check which one runs nice on your hardware [15:03] Hey PanV [15:03] then you sync it with an account and use it on all platforms [15:03] IsLet m just send the ask ubuntu link real quick [15:04] syntroPi, The Intel Integrated Graphics. Onboard. === manacit_ is now known as manacit [15:05] Geez, appereantly didnt post the askubuntu post. Anyways.. Does anybody know how to fix stuff with a LiveUSB? [15:05] PanV: define stuff [15:06] 15.04, gnome terminal not working, just hangs the console if launched [15:06] PanV: what kinda stuff? [15:06] Ok. [15:06] Give me 5 minutes to write it. [15:06] Zetta, ok thats a good one, intel provides open source drivers. do you know which generation you use (i.e. which exact graphics core)? [15:06] SopaXT: any errors when you launch gnome-terminal from another terminal === BlackPanx_ is now known as BlackPanx [15:07] Could it be a driver problem perhaps? I've updated it but still. [15:07] How can I check it, syntroPi ? [15:08] I'm getting an error trying to transfer a medium-sized file with rsync. Output says "Corrupted MAC on input. Disconnecting: Packet corrupt". Not sure if it's a hardware issue on the source end, or maybe something I could fix by disabling TCP offset checksums. Anyone have some experience with it? [15:08] I placed an Audio CD for my sister (irrevelant), and switched users. When I got into my sister's account screen went black for 15 seconds, then it went white for 20 seconds. When it got me in, weird stuff happened, like the icons on top of this Unity bar thingy? They were textureless. And background was white, while it shouldn't be white. Because I was scared, I hard-rebooted and I got into my account. A Black screen and on bottom right [15:08] syntroPi Zetta - no don't attempt to install anything for intel drivers, if your install is up to date you already have the best situation. [15:08] notifications blinking a bit, glitching, and that WiFi notification was glitching too. So I hard-rebooted again since I didnt have a choice [15:08] lotuspsychje, nope [15:08] full output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12861750/ [15:09] I see. [15:09] it just does not display a window/neither it produces any output [15:09] Then it got me into grub rescue. I reinstalled GRUB with #ubuntu's irc help. I booted into Ubuntu then it got me into the same black screen [15:09] SopaXT: so it starts allright but just hangs? [15:09] So I rebooted at the LivsUSB. [15:09] SopaXT: can you install something like terminator? [15:09] XTerm works [15:10] So, what am I supposed to do now? Ubuntu seems broken, perhaps all packets need a re-install. Unity could have broken. [15:10] SopaXT: see if you can purge gnome-terminal and reinstall maybe? [15:10] daftykins, ok so the latest ubuntu kernels already include those from https://01.org/ ? [15:10] when I try to gdb it -> "file format not recognized" [15:11] syntroPi: they're already fine yeah, best never to instruct anyone to install from that site, they'll only have a broken setup that's a mess to clean up after :) [15:11] Zetta, you can find out which gfx card you use in a terminal with "lspci -vnn | grep VGA -A 12" [15:11] daftykins, well ok then [15:11] Who was the guy that was helping me today..... and where is eric.. [15:12] PanV: Eric might went to sleep, he might be back tomorrow [15:12] PanV: sounds like it'd be worth checking your hard disks health to me [15:12] hi all [15:13] syntroPi, http://pastie.org/10493185 [15:13] lotuspsychje: I was kinda joking at that one. daftykins: Disk is fine. SMART confirmed. [15:13] I believe hard-reboot is the problem. [15:13] PanV: i'd rather see it for myself [15:13] daftykins: Can I check it at a liveusb? [15:13] yes, "sudo apt-get install pastebinit smartmontools && sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit" [15:13] i'm trying to install Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS (64-bit) on a Dell Precision 7910. i've enabled "legacy boot mode" and installed the OS as I usually would, but whenever I restart, I keep getting a "no boot device found" error message. any ideas? [15:13] SopaXT: not sure mate i would try reinstall [15:14] spoonman_: singleboot or dualboot? [15:14] i'm singlebooting [15:14] spoonman_: fastboot and secreuboot disabled? [15:14] secureboot [15:14] spoonman_ did you simply copy the iso, or did you install the live session on your boot device [15:15] lotuspsychje: i did not see an option for disable fastboot. it is set to "Thorough." i will dbl check secureboot disabled [15:15] spoonman_: bot must be disabled for singleboot [15:15] both [15:15] MonkeyDust: i burned an iso, and installed instead of "Try Ubuntu before Installing" [15:15] GRUB could've gone to the wrong disk [15:15] wow! [15:15] /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.real FAILS! [15:15] spoonman_: some bios have also deep hidden settings to block installing another Os [15:15] spoonman_: According to http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514/t/19613159 this happens if you install to a drive connected to the SAS controller [15:16] -> I have inconsistent locale settings [15:16] genii: i saw that, but couldn't follow what they were saying [15:17] Zetta that seems to be an Arrandale first generation "HD Graphics" one. i guess you should be fine with noremal ubuntu kernel drivers then [15:17] spoonman_: If you are like me, you can't read tutorials.. and will probably come often to this channel. [15:17] yeah [15:18] spoonman_: GRUB doesn't know what device driver to use for the SAS controller so it fails. Hook the drive you want to install onto into a different port [15:18] daftykins, do you know if arrandale already uses vaapi? [15:18] oh ok, i will try that [15:18] Does ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair fix GRUB only stuff or does stuff like dpkg? [15:18] gonna open it up now [15:18] PanV: it won't help you. [15:18] syntroPi: nope sorry [15:19] daftykins: I forgot how to Chroot with a liveusb at my Ubuntu. I even made an article but... Dunno where is it. Do you remember the commands? [15:19] !chroot [15:19] A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [15:19] Hi there everyone [15:20] PanV: are you actually going to run the commands i mentioned today, or shall i leave? [15:20] Hey peeps! I am trying to get bumblebee working again after years of unsuccessful tries. [15:20] I have installed and configured most of it [15:20] but I can't get the nvidia module to not load on start. [15:20] daftykins: Wait, what commands? [15:20] steelbrain: waste of time, it got replaced by nvidia-prime years ago. [15:20] I am using Ubuntu 14.04 [15:20] daftykins: Nvidia-prime doesn't let me switch on fly [15:21] I have a laptop that lives only 2 hours on nvidia [15:21] 16:13 < PanV> daftykins: Can I check it at a liveusb? [15:21] 16:13 < daftykins> yes, "sudo apt-get install pastebinit smartmontools && sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit" [15:21] and at least 4 on intel [15:21] Zetta, i never owned one of those intel graphics but you might want to read up on hw video accelleration (vaapi). "vainfo" could tell you some specs of your driver stack [15:21] steelbrain: right, well bumblebee i'm pretty much sure is deprecated so gl with that [15:21] hmm, genii i don't see anything plugged into either SAS port [15:21] daftykins: , wait, I dont get it. What did I ask? [15:21] they are both SATA [15:21] daftykins: Is there no way to get the windows-like switching then? :( [15:21] PanV: i want to see the hard disk SMART status first-hand, so run the above from the live session ¬_¬ [15:22] steelbrain: unlikely. [15:22] What postfix configuration should I choose? [15:22] defaults. [15:22] just hit enter :) [15:22] Pretty sad. Okay then. Thanks anyways, now I gotta undo all that [15:22] No configuration or local? I shouldnt move around the menus.. [15:23] none. [15:23] I chose ok. [15:23] System mail name? [15:23] steelbrain: you should look into prime though, likely it runs as the intel mainly but you can still open a program that'll make use of the nvidia [15:23] Is there no nvidia-xconfig anymore in 15.10 ?? [15:23] PanV: doesn't matter, as i've already said [15:23] I hope I don't get screwed up [15:24] genii: is that link talking about disconnecting one of the SATA drives? nothing is plugged into either SAS port [15:24] daftykins: I am not sure if that's possible, because when I change between the GPUs I have to restart to make it work, even a logout doesn't do that [15:24] Zetta, you could try something like "sudo apt-get install i965-va-driver vainfo " and then invoke "vainfo" to see which video decoding is accellerated [15:24] PanV: you're in a live session, nothing you do will even last after reboot :) [15:24] let me copy paste the paste link [15:24] http://paste.ubuntu.com/12862056/ [15:24] steelbrain: that's for permanent switching, just read up and try :) [15:24] spoonman_: SAS and SATA use the same plugs, you can't really tell them apart by physically looking at the cables. Just try the other plug [15:24] daftykins: I know, I was just afraid if it af- oh wait I am not mounted [15:25] ( if there's only two) [15:25] genii: ok. i can read on the MOBO where they say SATA0 SATA1 (have plugs), SAS0, SAS1 (no plugs) [15:25] PanV: probably just need to fsck your disk then. [15:25] And by that you mean.. :P [15:25] i literally mean, fsck. [15:26] PanV fsck = file system check [15:26] so keep the disk unmounted, then "fsck /dev/sdx#" where that's a partition on your system [15:26] "sudo parted -l" to list them [15:26] Ok [15:26] you want to check what is your / partition, likely /dev/sda1 [15:27] i'll bbl [15:27] fdisk -l it? [15:27] ? [15:27] oops [15:28] wait a minute. [15:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/12862122/ My partition is like 100 GB, what is my partition? [15:29] PanV: sda5 [15:30] fsck /dev/sda5/? [15:30] can someone tell me how to find all files with a leading whitespace? google is failing me. [15:32] lotuspsychje: i cannot disable fastboot on this thing. it only has "minimal," "thorough," and "auto" for options [15:33] That's the command? fsck /dev/sda5/ [15:33] spoonman_: something must be still blocking in bios mate, its the symptons of a fastboot enabled i think [15:34] spoonman_: maybe the ##hardware guys might know wich to disable [15:34] cool, thanks [15:34] genii: in the bios, SAS RAID controller is also "Disabled" [15:34] spoonman_: if you find a pdf manual for your mobo, i wan take a look for you === Blaster is now known as Guest61841 [15:35] !uefi | spoonman_ you might find usefull info here aswell [15:35] spoonman_ you might find usefull info here aswell: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. 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 [15:35] luckily, i disabled the UEFI stuff and am legacy booting :) [15:36] spoonman_: it mentions fastboot also [15:36] oops i messed up lol [15:36] spoonman_: some system have also an intel thing to block new Os install, i keep forgetting its name [15:37] i accidentally did this: sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/ownCloud:/community/xUbuntu_15.04/ /' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/owncloud.list" [15:37] but i dont know how to reverse it [15:37] i added the wrong version [15:37] interesting [15:37] what is the proper way to reverse the above command [15:37] can i just delete /etc/apt/sources.list.d/owncloud.list? [15:39] maddawg2: yes [15:39] k1l_, thanks [15:39] maddawg2: and be more careful in the future with commands that need sudo rights :) [15:39] lol thanks ;-P [15:39] i know [15:39] just grabbed the wrong version [15:39] mesant to get 14.04 [15:40] maddawg2: well stop [15:40] please could someone pastebin the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf files [15:40] http://paste.ubuntu.com [15:40] maddawg2: open that with nano "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/owncloud.list" and then change the 15.04 to a 14.04.then ctrl+o, ctrl+x to safe [15:42] Kai_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12862277/ [15:42] thanks lotuspsychje [15:42] thanks k1l_ i actually ended up deleting owncloud.list and readded the correct one [15:43] That's it, I will simply blow up my PC! [15:47] genii: starting over; setting it to UEFI, enabling secureboot, etc. [15:47] spoonman_: whats your motherboard type please [15:47] lemme look [15:48] i just got this equipment assigned to me [15:48] Hey daftykins, hope you're still around ... I just got 2 Passes on the memtest ... [15:49] RubyDZ: and still no sign of anything errors wise huh? (they come up as big red lines so it's not easy to miss) [15:49] daftykins: Nope, no errors [15:49] spoonman_: I guess just keep us posted [15:49] lotuspsychje: i do not know how to tell :( i'm only in the bios lemme see if i can catch it rolling across the screen [15:49] RubyDZ: try booting your live session again with nomodeset then [15:49] !nomodeset [15:49] 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 [15:50] spoonman_: whats the dell type again [15:51] precision tower 7910 [15:55] daftykins: not really sure how I should go about following the instructions in that link, I don't have Windows on the laptop I'm trying to reinstall Ubuntu on .... [15:56] hey [15:56] RubyDZ: i don't know how you got that you'd need windows for anything, "nomodeset" is a parameter you add by booting to the menu then pressing F6 and selecting nomodeset :) [15:57] daftykins: So now I reboot, and open BIOS and press F6? [15:57] one thing i don't get is, where do i install the bootloader? i have /dev/sda1 set to "biosgrub" or i can choose /dev/sda [15:57] I'm still on the memtest screen BTW [15:57] RubyDZ: no F6 is on the menu when you boot ubuntu from your flash drive or DVD [15:58] daftykins: So from the Installer Boot Menu, right? Just before it freezes on me [15:58] RubyDZ: you see a little logo at the bottom, press a key and it gives you a language menu - then you will be offered to press F6 for advanced options [15:58] yep [15:58] spoonman_: main /dev/sda should be fine [15:58] daftykins: K will try now [15:59] foo [15:59] bar? [15:59] spoonman_: can you check intel active management in bios [16:00] lotuspsychje: sure one sec === zach is now known as Guest49209 [16:00] spoonman_: http://binar.pl/p/precision-t7910/precision-t7910-owner_manual_en-us.pdf [16:01] daftykins: Are you here? [16:01] I just fat fingered a monumental fubar moment: I chown'd /var/ to www-data. Since I am setting up Ubuntu 12 LTS, and it's not in production, I have two options... go through and re-assign ownship and permissions or reinstall. What's the better option? (I already have 4 hours of work into this thing). [16:02] PanV: yes. [16:02] perfect [16:02] PanV: just ask a detailed question and others can see if they can help [16:02] thanks lotuspsychje - am checking that in bios now [16:02] DrDamnit: start again [16:02] So.. What command should I do now after knowing that my partition is /dev/sda5/? [16:03] daftykins, yeah... I was hoping someone had a github script to un-fuck this, but that's what I figured I would have to do. [16:03] spoonman_: play with some settings till you can install ubuntu [16:03] daftykins: Didn't get it the way you said, but I went to Help on the Installer Boot Menu, and when I press F6 it says: This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU [16:03] DrDamnit: Language. [16:03] daftykins: I'm guessing I've downloaded the wrong version of Ubuntu? I got the 64-bit one ... I should've gotten 32-bit, right? [16:03] RubyDZ: ah so it's that your system is too old for 64-bit :) you will need to download the 32-bit version and try again [16:03] Hey guys I wanted to ask, is Ubunto Mate a good distro for a noobie ? [16:03] Apologies. Couldn't think of a G-rated version of what I did. [16:04] thanks everyone. Off to re-install. [16:04] RubyDZ: however, 15.10 will be out in a few days, so if you have 15.04 there you might want to just wait / grab the 15.10 media [16:04] Guest49209: sure [16:04] brb [16:05] daftykins: Hmmm. How many days is that? 'Cause I right now want to have Ubuntu on this old netbook to have a backup for if my Windows 10 upgrade backfires on my day-to-day usage laptop ... [16:05] thanks for the help, lotuspsychje [16:05] spoonman_: np, hope it helps [16:06] spoonman_: try fastboot:minimal uefi:disabled and atm disabled [16:06] lotuspsychje: what's atm [16:06] Thanks for the response, and to what distro should I go for further experience ? [16:07] spoonman_: that intel active management [16:07] i couldn't find that in the bios manual. wonder if it's not installed [16:07] RubyDZ: well you could install it from a disc today then update to final when it goes final before the end of the month - i think on an old netbook you'll want to pick lubuntu though, not standard ubuntu [16:08] daftykins: I had Ubuntu on it earlier, why should I pick lubuntu and what's the difference [16:08] lubuntu is lighter and will run with less resources [16:08] daftykins: K thanks [16:08] so it'll be easier to deal with on a horrid netbook that is fit for burial at sea :) [16:09] It's not a horrid netbook xD It's a 2010/2011 model and perfectly fine except needs a battery and charger replacement xD [16:09] all netbooks were horrid on their day of creation :) [16:10] daftykins: Haha yeah I guess so [16:15] hi, anyway i can disable ubuntu's unity-screen-panel from controling my resolution? it seems to add offset whenever it finds two display with different sizes, i.e it applies this resolution to a 28" monitor to make it "seamless" with my old 26": 1920x1080+0+41 [16:15] Guys, I came across something called MacBuntu, anyone have an idea what that is? Seems to be a mix of hackintosh/linux? [16:16] doesnt sound official [16:17] RubyDZ: probably just an ubuntu with a skin or theme to make it look like a mac [16:17] can't think of anything worse :) [16:17] RubyDZ: it is what it sounds like [16:17] display with unusual resolutions cannot be manipulated with xrandr [16:17] RubyDZ macbuntu is not supported here [16:17] RubyDZ: elementary os is much better then this to be honest [16:18] RubyDZ baizon but elementaty is also not supported here [16:18] elementary* [16:18] baizon MonkeyDust K, I just was asking, out of curiosity. I think I'm sticking with Ubuntu [16:19] MonkeyDust what about lubuntu is that also not supported here? [16:21] RubyDZ well... LXDE is simply a different DE [16:21] Hello fellows! I need a little help. I want to run a script after the wifi has been connected to a network. How can i accomplish that? I'm running 14.04 LTS [16:22] fabio_ scripting is more for #bash [16:23] fabio_: You could do a post-up directive in /etc/network/interfaces for the wlan0 ( or other applicable device) [16:23] Hey I'm noticing something is overwriting my .Xresources settings each login, trying to pinpoint where it's coming from... thought I found the relevant settings in dconf-editor but they still seem to be wrong when I log in, even after I changed them. [16:24] The relevant settings are the xft* settings in com.canonical.unity-greeter (I think) [16:24] genii, hi. that could be a good solution yes [16:24] fabio_, http://askubuntu.com/questions/13963/call-script-after-connecting-to-a-wireless-network [16:24] If anyone could offer some insight on the matter I'd repay them in most valuable appreciation :P [16:25] daftykins: just a Q about lubuntu, my understanding is that since it requires fewer resources, that will mean my netbook will run faster than usual, right? Also, is Google Chrome supported? [16:26] RubyDZ Google chrome os is not supported here === armyriad2 is now known as armyriad [16:26] RubyDZ, I assume you are asking about Google Chrome the browser in which case yes it is available to you [16:27] MonkeyDust Dude why do you seem to be picking on me all the time today? I meant the browser!! [16:27] qstrahl thanks [16:27] RubyDZ: yes and yes [16:27] RubyDZ, Also the difference with lubuntu is likely not that huge but yes they do put a focus on using less resources in general... you are more likely to get less bloat on your disk than a "faster" experience though [16:27] MonkeyDust: can you maybe realise chrome is a browser and stop enforcing rules pointlessly? [16:27] daftykins qstrahl thanks guys [16:27] Now now daftykins [16:28] Any time, RubyDZ :D === jasoniumh_ is now known as jasoniumh === Motoservo_ is now known as Motoservo === lolmac is now known as Guest19741 [16:29] RubyDZ didnt mean to offend [16:31] Now kiss [16:33] qstrahl: cut the foolishness please [16:35] Yessir === shuduo is now known as shuduo-akf === shuduo-akf is now known as shuduo-afk [16:42] hello im trying to create a bootable usb stick for Mac OS X with ubuntu in it. I did everthing ccording to http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx but I cant boot to it [16:43] If i boot to Mac OSX it says the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer [16:43] and considers it Unmounted still [16:43] evebthough sudo dd transfer was successful [16:43] you're holding option after the chime i take it? [16:44] daftykins: yes, nothing happends. In mac OS it doesnt recognize the disk either [16:44] hmm ok, if you used 'dd' are you sure you used the main disk device and not a partition? [16:44] yes i am sure [16:44] i understand disk naming under OS X is very different [16:45] I did everything according to the link [16:45] 1054867456 bytes transferred in 85.068227 secs (12400252 bytes/sec) [16:45] and what is the ISO you obtained? [16:45] ubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-amd64 that I transformed to .img like the manual said [16:46] .img.dmg apple added the .dmg [16:46] i would try using dd on the iso direct to the disk device without conversion [16:46] or just borrow another system temporarily [16:48] okay I will try to transfer .iso directly but seems weird [16:48] that's macs for you :) which model is it? [16:49] 2014 mac book air [16:49] It still doesnt recognize it, I dont understand what happends. I unmount the disk, why do I not format it to fat32 or something first [16:49] before transfer [16:49] it doesnt recognize it [16:50] sudo dd if=./ubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/rdisk5 bs=1m [16:50] 1054867456 bytes transferred in 41.269978 secs (25560165 bytes/sec) [16:50] Hello. [16:50] stuentttet: try a boot options menu or so [16:50] Oh hi EriC^^! [16:50] stuentttet: you want to eject it safely before continuing, but i don't like the look of 'rdisk5' [16:50] stuentttet, os x won't recognise the filesystem but the mac will boot off it fien [16:51] hi PanV [16:51] diddledan: I was pressing options key the whole time, but it just boots to my mac [16:51] daftykins: thats just raw trasnfer [16:51] stuentttet: any uefi menu? [16:51] EriC^^: I dont get any menu [16:51] it just boots straight to mac [16:51] I re-installed GRUB, tested Ubuntu but it gets me into a black screen with my steam and skype notifications flashing like crazy at bottom right, and notifications like WiFi connection staying there and dont react correctly.. I believe Unity is broken. What should I do? [16:51] stuentttet: i suggest you get the disk menu up then replug the flash drive. [16:52] stuentttet: try making a fat32 and extract the iso there [16:52] EriC^^: okay [16:52] stuentttet HOLD the option/alt key, don't repeatedly press it [16:52] stuentttet, i agree, had a friend try to get Ubuntu loaded using DD on his mac book pro. Had to format to Fat32 first. [16:53] PanV: try apt-cache depends ubuntu-desktop | awk '/Depends/ {print $2}' | xargs sudo apt-get -y install --reinstall [16:53] stuentttet, hold it as soon as the startup chime sounds and don't let go until the menu appears - the menu will appear if you've done it right even if it doesn't recognise the disk [16:53] EriC^^: I am on a LiveUSB and I have no idea what to do or where to start.

[16:59] ActionParsnip: right, well eth0 goes to my wall and that goes to the basement [17:00] ActionParsnip: What do you mean? [17:00] PanV: did you type sudo fsck .. ? === Guest27947 is now known as mfisch [17:00] bindi: i'd be willing to bet it's your setup and not something power management related, never seen intel NICs cause issue like that :) [17:00] and eth1 goes to hp 1810-8g switch and from there through wall to my pc, i dont think both of those cables would be bad (all new cat6 / cat6a) [17:00] PanV: did you type: fsck /dev/sda5 or: sudo fsck /dev/sda5 [17:00] Oh crap.

[17:06] stuentttet: ok, your OS X installation is definitely fine? [17:06] Omg you got me at last moment [17:06] PanV: dpkg --configure -a [17:06] KK [17:07] munsking: i think it got deprecated [17:07] And it installs [17:07] daftykins: well I have not had problems with it [17:07] daftykins: oh ok, do you know of any good alternatives? [17:07] Copy paste whole output?

[17:08] ActionParsnip: ;) [17:09] ActionParsnip: :) [17:09] EriC^^: I got a feeling Unity is broken. Should we try and reinstall it? Just in case? Will this have any defects? [17:09] or I am horrible at Ubuntu. [17:10] PanV: try apt-cache depends ubuntu-desktop | awk '/Depends/ {print $2}' | xargs apt-get -y install --reinstall [17:10] Doing it, 81 stuff reinstalling [17:10] Meanwhile, I will watch some 9gag. [17:12] PanV: why 9gag? [17:12] you do know that 9gag steals content from reddit and imgur and slaps their watermark on it right? [17:12] Shibe: Why not? It's cancerous and it has Potatoes. [17:12] Shibe: off topic. [17:12] I will ms [17:12] and if you mention reddit and/or imgur in a comment or post you get banned [17:12] msg [17:12] ok [17:13] that seems kinda strict [17:15] EriC^^: , install is done. [17:15] PanV: type exit [17:15] PanV: you're using 14.04 right? [17:15] 15.04 [17:16] Tell me I did a mistake. [17:16] is it possible to hook up an android phone to ubuntu and transfer files back and forth? i was reading that android doesnt make the drivers for linux for it to be compatible [17:16] uupz: MTP might work, your mileage may vary [17:16] PanV: no, it's just that the kernel says 3.16, thought i'd give you a heads up if you're using 14.10 [17:16] uupz: It is possible to put Ubuntu phone at an android device, just not at all of them. Some may have hardware problems, like bluetooth not working etc. [17:16] just plug it in and see what happens (standard ubuntu desktop (unity)) has more chance of working [17:16] EriC^^: So.. now what? [17:16] ubuntu has a phone? [17:16] PanV: that's nowhere near what's being asked, please don't help when you don't know. [17:17] PanV: try rebooting [17:17] daftykins: Ok. [17:17] EriC^^: Rebooting. [17:17] THIS TIME WITH MY MOUSE, not the button [17:17] Almost did the same mistake [17:17] :D [17:17] daftykins: okay I partitioned it from OSX now im trying to isntall it to the new partition but it complains "No root file system is defined" [17:18] stuentttet: you'll still need "sudo parted -l" to work ideally. [17:18] stuentttet: if the disk appears blank to ubuntu's installer, you're gonna have a bad time [17:18] daftykins: it doesnt appear blank now the new parition, it says 156mb used [17:18] what new partition? [17:19] are you sure you're not overwriting the old partition table? O.o [17:19] stuentttet: ^ [17:19] daftykins: ah yes it doesnt recognize the mac osx drive useage, but it recognizes the partition i made from the mac osx [17:19] drive [17:20] divided 250G into two [17:20] best to show a pastebin or screenshot of that [17:21] results: still black screen, mouse appears, and steam notifications flashing [17:21] EriC^^: Now they disappeared [17:21] PanV1: that's after you login? [17:22] It just dropped me there, without logging in. [17:22] as usual [17:22] daftykins: sda undefines, freespace 0mb, sda1 efi1 209mb, sda2 200gb unknown, sda3 hfs+ 650 584mb used, sda4 hfs+ 50gb 156mb used (this is where i would like to install ubuntu), free space 134mb, sdc undefined [17:22] PanV1: do you have autologin enabled? [17:22] I guess [17:22] stuentttet: so that's seeing it just fine =| [17:23] and i want to disable it, but after we are done with fixing pc [17:23] stuentttet: obviously 156MB is useless for ubuntu, so use the installer or gparted to delete that one and manually create some instead. [17:23] PanV1: try ctrl+alt+f1 [17:23] I dont remember login credentials [17:23] Should I do it? [17:24] yeah [17:24] stuentttet: you'll want at the very minimum, 20GB+ for / and around your RAM size in a swap partition if you want to sleep/hibernate [17:24] - login: [17:24] Should I try admin admin? [17:24] PanV1: try to login, if you can't remember, then press ctrl+alt+del to reboot, hold shift to get grub and go to advanced, then recovery [17:24] PanV1: no [17:24] k Ctrl alt del [17:25] Hello. Anyone present that has spotify working on 15? [17:25] start on recovery? [17:25] DrinkMe: 15 what? [17:25] there are two versions of 15.xx [17:25] DrinkMe: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [17:26] Goin' into recovery [17:26] PanV1: yeah, recovery, then go to drop to root shell [17:26] ? [17:26] The what? [17:26] A question regarding bootloader options... why does it have "ro" on the grub config instead of "rw"? [17:26] 15.04 [17:27] stuentttet: oh well i have to go, plenty of help to be had here or online on how to make partitions for an ubuntu install, then you'll likely want to install rEFInd/rEFIt to give you a friendly bootloader to not have to use option at every boot :) [17:27] MinusFour: because if there is an issue with the file system, you dont want to try and write to it, you might break stuff [17:27] MinusFour: i think that means to mount ro if it encounters an error [17:27] it's a kernel parameter [17:27] eric, What should I press? [17:27] Ah I see, but it still mounts the root as rw right? [17:27] ( i could be wrong ) [17:27] DrinkMe: much better, how are you attempting to install it? [17:28] I Wonder what this button does! *presses it* *huge explosion* [17:28] MinusFour: yeah, later on [17:28] who does it? the init system? [17:28] MinusFour: i think it always mounts as ro first, then it runs fsck or something like that [17:28] Now what Eric? [17:29] MinusFour: when the file system is mounted, if there are issues it will use read only, otherwise its read/write [17:29] PanV1: press drop to root shell at the bottom === PanV1 is now known as PanV [17:29] cool, i figured out how to make my phone work with ubuntu [17:29] i love ubuntu, it's awesome the guides are so user friendly [17:29] I am at recovery, and ay bottom I see system summary [17:29] above it I see a root [17:29] PanV: it should say root shell somewhere [17:29] fsck start networking root shell ..etc [17:30] ActionParsnip, don't it have to be remounted? [17:30] MinusFour: you can remount it if you like, yes [17:30] ActionParsnip: I went through spotify's install process for ubuntu but it specifies 14.04 and I had no errors installing, but it just won't open [17:30] DrinkMe: what are the errors? [17:30] i meant, like at some stage of the boot process [17:30] resume, clean, dpkg, failsafeX, fsck, grub, network, root, system-summary, Ok. [17:30] DrinkMe: you can't just say " I get errors " and expect people to be able to reply [17:30] nothing else, as anytime I have been here [17:30] DrinkMe: have you tried opening it from terminal? [17:31] PanV: root.. [17:31] Pk! [17:31] *ok [17:31] DrinkMe: the output may be useful [17:31] Root. [17:31] ActionParsnip: No, there were no errors. It installed fine. And yes, still won't open. [17:31] DrinkMe: or try deleting the Spotify profile folders which will probably be under ~/.config or ~/.cache somewhere [17:31] PanV: ok, type mount -o remount,rw / [17:31] done [17:32] DrinkMe: make sure the process is not running with: ps -ef | grep -i spot | grep -v grep [17:32] PanV: do you remember your username? [17:32] realpanv, I guess [17:32] PanV: ok, type passwd realpanv === marshal0605 is now known as marshal0505 [17:32] insert password unix [17:32] or sth like that [17:33] ok, enter whatever password you want [17:33] Greek characters dont show up properly at recovery.. [17:33] put a numeric one [17:33] for now [17:33] I put Tnt---1 [17:33] --- (hidden) [17:33] ok [17:33] ActionParsnip: Have to get back to class. I'll try your suggestion and I'm sorry for being difficult. [17:33] Test [17:33] should i write it again? [17:33] PanV: no, type exit [17:33] then try failsafeX === user is now known as Guest33301 [17:34] I think it asked for a confirmation, you sure? [17:34] PanV: yeah type it again [17:34] Then root again.. [17:34] i thought you meant you wanted to change it or do it again [17:35] I believe its done now, going to failsafr [17:35] Yes or No? [17:35] yes [17:35] what happened...? [17:35] exit [17:35] It wrote sth in a log file [17:36] ok, what did it say at the end? [17:36] Couldnt read, but it said something about logs and a terminating server? [17:36] I think [17:36] PanV: ok, press ctrl+alt+del [17:36] reboot as usual [17:36] k [17:37] ubuntu right? [17:37] not recovery mode or anything? [17:37] I will just YOLO it. [17:37] booting ubuntu [17:37] lol [17:37] ;) [17:38] *cross fingers* [17:38] mouse appeared, disappeared [17:38] moved, it appeared again [17:38] PanV: ok, press ctrl+alt+f1 [17:39] login [17:39] now realpanv and the pass i made right? [17:39] yeah [17:39] Unable to get valid context for realpanv, after a copyright message [17:40] Now I can run commands [17:40] copyright message [17:40] how is that possible [17:40] The programs included with the... blah blah then the context thing [17:40] ok, type sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf [17:41] I installed xmonad on xubuntu, and the default command to bring up the terminal isn't working [17:41] Pass.. enters it [17:41] omg wtf [17:41] PanV: ok, remove your username next to autologin-user= [17:41] Hello, trying to install ubuntu on sda4, but says no root system found. What to do? (I had interent problems just now if u answered daftykins ) [17:41] Now?

[18:46] why does ubuntu gnome run a filesystem check everytime I boot? [18:46] can I disable it? [18:47] EriC^^: That says I shouldve created uefi partition? [18:47] Shibe, let it run, so it never returns after checking and correcting [18:48] Is anyone there that can give me a hand? Im using kdenlive and cant see any icons? [18:48] OerHeks: I have let it run [18:48] it still runs [18:48] Shibe, it can take some time, with big disks. [18:48] OerHeks: it goes to 100% and then dissapears [18:49] Shibe, good. [18:49] studetntttu: i think you can either use refind to boot grub, or you can still use the mac bootloader but you need to include some files it expects and "bless" the grub file so it boots it [18:49] shibe it should not appear again, if so, check a system utility like disks for the smart info [18:49] EriC^^: do you know how to do it with the mac bootloader? [18:50] i've never done it myself, but the page explains a bit [18:50] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting#Using_Apple_bootloader_itself_.28safest_option.29 [18:51] you want to give it a shot?

[18:53] andybrine: ubuntuforums.org [18:53] studetntttu: oh i see it [18:54] studetntttu: i think it means uefi in general, there's nothing about mac on the other page [18:54] andybrine: "a good support forum for ubuntu?" I use ubuntuforums.org . [18:54] awesome thanks baizon, its usually quite good to get support here right?

[19:16] 8200 is for swap [19:16] Why did it recognize it as 8300 just now? [19:16] i think that's default, when it asks what to use, 8300 is linux ext [19:17] okay i put 8200 [19:17] ok, now press write [19:18] EriC^^: something is wrong [19:18] i write 7.8G but it only reserves 3.5KiB for swap [19:18] for swap just press enter itll use the remaining [19:18] EriC^^: oka [19:18] then write [19:19] yeah [19:19] write on swap?

[21:11] utu8o: its called dualboot. you need to make partitions to put windows in. then you need to have a ubuntu-cd/usb to reinstall the grub afterwards since windows will override it [21:11] k1l, how do you reinstall grub exactly [21:11] studetntttu: ty :D === loyalty_kink is now known as modafinil [21:12] !dualboot | utu8o [21:12] utu8o: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [21:12] utu8o: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [21:12] EriC^^: u da real mvp [21:12] k [21:14] k1l: The links are very useful.

This happened even in the installer (i.e. once it was finished it said 'Reboot now', all things looked like they were unloading and screen went black but then just remained there..) I've disabled "quiet splash" in /etc/default/grub and this is what I see when I try to shutdown: http://i.imgur.com/N9bgjuZ.jpg Sorry, that's quite blurry.

[21:55] If it doesn't freeze, I've noticed when it resumes it hasn't locked the screen yet and a few seconds later the screen will lock [22:07] k1l still freezes [22:09] hello world! [22:10] lafleurdubien: world says - "what is your ubuntu support question?" :) [22:11] dropbox for linux sucks [22:12] works fine for me :) [22:12] not if you want your dropbox folder to be on a different drive. [22:12] symlink -> done [22:13] Omg the freezes... I moved back to 14.10 and it still keeps freezing. I got my xinput issues back though [22:13] I mean you can set it to a different drive and it will write to it, but on startup it can't always locate it and will set it to default location. [22:13] you shouldn't be on 14.10, it's EOL. [22:13] and start downloading it there. [22:13] More end_requests [22:14] nug700, easy to move dropbox, https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/89 [22:14] I know, but 15.04 is buggy as well [22:14] I just said I can move it. [22:14] no it wont look in the default location. [22:14] When my system starts up, it fails to locate it. [22:14] and sets it back to default location [22:15] so you are obviously trolling. [22:15] excuse me? [22:15] Bomber4Chats: need a lot more details! [22:15] What can I give? What logs? [22:15] Bomber4Chats: your constant comments doesnt help othery help you [22:15] Bomber4Chats: exact kernel version, exact ubuntu version, logs like dmesg or syslog [22:15] Cool [22:16] Ubuntu is kubuntu 15.04 [22:16] Bomber4Chats: right so 14.04 is LTS [22:16] Kernel was something like 19.30, I'll try to get the exact number [22:16] nug700, You might set a delay on dropbox start if the drive mount is the issue [22:17] 3.19 on vivid (15.04) [22:17] Yes exactly [22:17] you don't need to tell *us* what the kernel is :P [22:17] The only readon drobox cannot find that folder, is when that partition has failed, and you cancelled filecheck. [22:17] Thanks dafty [22:17] Bomber4Chats: uname -a gives you the exact kernel number [22:17] *reason [22:18] What's the command to pastebinit? [22:18] And dmesg only gets me the logs for my current session. I need to get the logs of my previous session, where the freeze occurred. How would I do that? [22:19] Bomber4Chats: see in /var/log [22:19] Dmesg. 0? [22:20] daftykins: image on the right shows where my dropbox folder is supposed to be (after I set the custom location). The left is where it is being set to on startup. I'm not trolling. [22:21] Listening before jumping to conclusions. [22:21] k1l, sorry could you give me a suggestion to what to look In /var/log? [22:21] I'm not so sure where to access previous logs [22:21] OerHeks: meant you [22:21] Bomber4Chats: there are the logs saved. [22:21] Some of them are .gz [22:21] Bomber4Chats: after each reboot the logs get cycled away to log.0 or log.1 [22:22] Bomber4Chats: that are the logs after some dayy/reboots. look at the dates [22:22] Bomber4Chats: how is this done? [22:22] nug700: 'image' ?

I'm not sure I'm able to retrieve the previous log [22:24] Bomber4Chats: or syslog [22:25] Syslog Is empty [22:26] Bomber4Chats: pastebinit /var/log/syslog [22:26] wileee: how do I set a delay for things to start? [22:26] put the link into here [22:26] Right, I think that because of the freeze u cannot access my hard drive [22:26] Now dmesg is empty. [22:26] nug700t [22:26] Oh! Here we go, [22:26] hold 0n [22:26] I'm gonna try to pastebinit. Hopefully works [22:27] What's the command to pass dmesg output to pastebinit? [22:27] Bomber4Chats: "dmesg | pastebinit" [22:28] nug700, Dropbox is in startup applications here, you would just edit the command, if you have file issues with that HD though in mounting, be sure to address that. [22:28] I got an input/output error [22:28] From pastebinit [22:28] I think my system crashed my network. [22:28] input/output error sounds more like a ram issue or a disk issue [22:29] Yeah, I can't access any of my commands. I'll go to clean root node from recovery.

[22:30] Bomber4Chats: check your disk health and run memtest, all this faffing might be unnecessary [22:30] yes, test the ram with memtest and test the disk.

[22:55] I copied the file into the usb drive and tried to do, but it can't find the package [22:55] dd the ISO onto it [22:55] Probably because it is inside the usb [22:55] or better yet, just put an ubuntu desktop release on it - so it's both memtest AND ubuntu [22:55] Lol [22:55] Kk [22:55] no you can't just copy files on and run them [22:56] Hey guys.

Thank you, trying that now. Deepin support basically doesn't exsist and the Manjaro chaps were struggling. [23:01] No valid sudoers... Woe [23:01] or if that error is a known issue on their systems and should be handled another way [23:02] deerclops: yes, this is a sign you're on the wrong distribution. not to try and come here and get support :) [23:04] daftykins I know. I'm terrible. [23:05] deerclops: ask in ##linux if you OS support is just rubbish [23:06] k1l To be fair, the Manjaro guys are working hard to try their best to help me.

[23:51] Good evening! I am setting up an raspberry pi to autoconnect to my wireless network. According to all the tutorials I can find I need to set "wpa-ssid" and "wpa-psk" in the /etc/network/interfaces file. My consern is that the password is in plain text. Is this safe? [23:51] Are you giving out accounts on the raspberry? [23:52] Nope no accounts [23:53] So the only way that file could be read is by logging into the box [23:53] It is not a password but a preshared key so anyone else who has access to the wifi will already have it [23:54] true. So I guess the only way to get it is to already know the pw. If I would set up accounts. What would been the difference? [23:55] If there were accounts then someone could cat /etc/network/interfaces and see it [23:56] okay makes sense. But I could remove the read permission for anyone except root. right? [23:56] Most likely. I cannot say for sure if the bootup stuff runs as root, but I would expect them to [23:57] okay. thx anyway. I got it up and running now :)
