| bpeak | Bashing-om: I cannot find any setting that describes this behavior on the accessibility tab. But, is this a WM (xfce4) setting? Does this keybind not work on other WM in ubuntu? | 00:00 |

| pedepy | hi i'm trying to setup a plex media server ... i have the service running but when trying to access the web app i get a connected refused from the browser.. in fact i get a connection refused trying to connect to localhost on any port so i'm not sure what to do from here | 00:09 |
| maddawg2 | on localhost? | 00:09 |
| yvesyat | daftykins any idea? | 00:09 |
| maddawg2 | what OS? | 00:09 |
| chunkasaurusREX | I need help making wirehsark Version 1.10.6 work in ubuntu 14.04, I have the interfaces loading but whenever I try to start a capture wireshark crashes. | 00:09 |
| maddawg2 | it sounds like a firewall issue | 00:09 |
| daftykins | yvesyat: try installing smbfs and smbclient then trying again | 00:09 |
| pedepy | maddawg2 im running elementary (ubuntu fork) i cant imagine its very different .. sounds like that too or a permission issue but i have no idea how to access any of those | 00:10 |
| maddawg2 | pedepy there is a plex support channel btw | 00:10 |
| pedepy | i didnt know what it is | 00:10 |
| pedepy | is it* | 00:10 |
| maddawg2 | #plex | 00:10 |
| maddawg2 | lol | 00:10 |
| pedepy | makes sense hahah | 00:10 |

| pedepy | alright ill try those but you dont think maybe it could be a permission issue on my user ? | 00:11 |
| pedepy | can i ask you another question when i try to connect to webchat freenode i have no more 'connect' button or whatever used to be ? im running ircii off a terminal now it's not the best least to say | 00:12 |
| Bashing-om | bpeak: Maybe: http://docs.xfce.org/apps/ristretto/4.10/preferences?s[]=zoom will help ? Not sure at all what has changed in 4.12 version . | 00:13 |
| yvesyat | daftykins : sorry to ask but what's the command to install smbfs and smbclient? | 00:13 |

| LegalAction | hi! | 00:17 |
| bhat | i've got problem with ubuntu when i suspend the system the screen stay black, i tried a lot of solutions but not work | 00:17 |
| LegalAction | Anyone willing to help me with a silly problem? | 00:18 |
| bhat | maybe i can, try to give it out | 00:18 |
| yvesyat | daftykins : just installed these 2 | 00:18 |
| yvesyat | what shall i do next? | 00:18 |
| LegalAction | I'm using 14.4, and trying to get games to work like EGATrrek and Master of Magic to work. I'm using DOSbox and D-Fend Reloaded for the front end. | 00:19 |
| LegalAction | Every time I load one of those games the computer sends e back to the log in screen. | 00:19 |
| LegalAction | I don't know why and I can't figure out how to fix it. | 00:20 |
| reisio | sounds like your X is crashing | 00:20 |
| reisio | grep EE /var/log/X*log | 00:20 |
| daftykins | yvesyat: repeat the mount | 00:20 |
| LegalAction | I'm enough of a newb that I don't understand what X is or that grep command or how to execute it. | 00:21 |
| daftykins | 14.04, there's a zero | 00:21 |
| reisio | LegalAction: CTRL+ALT+t, 'grep EE /var/log/X*log', ENTER | 00:22 |
| wafflejock | LegalAction: what reisio wrote on the grep line is all you would write in a terminal to get the output, grep searches files/a file for some text specifically looking for error messages there | 00:22 |
| wafflejock | LegalAction: X is the underlying drawing system that the graphics system uses to draw windows and other graphical elements on the screen, if there's an error in X and it restarts you might get kicked back to the login screen since everything graphical is restarted | 00:23 |
| LegalAction | "this device may have been added with another device file" | 00:23 |
| chunkasaurusREX | I think I figured out my issue, good luck everyone else | 00:25 |
| reisio | chunkasaurusREX: say how, for posterity | 00:26 |
| LegalAction | Should I format and reintall again? | 00:26 |
| chunkasaurusREX | No problem, I ran wireshark in terminal and saw GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid unclassed pointer in cast to 'GtkScrollbar' so I ran the command export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 | 00:28 |
| yvesyat | daftykins : just found a way to mount | 00:29 |
| yvesyat | it's working now | 00:29 |
| yvesyat | thanks a lot | 00:29 |
| chunkasaurusREX | I actually still see that in terminal but now my capture is working without trying to run as root | 00:29 |
| daftykins | yvesyat: cool, GUI method working ok now? | 00:30 |
| yvesyat | yes sir | 00:31 |
| yvesyat | great and copying | 00:31 |
| yvesyat | now if the power shuts now i might commit suicide lol | 00:31 |
| yvesyat | but thanks thanks thanks | 00:31 |
| yvesyat | you were very helpful | 00:31 |
| daftykins | yvesyat: haha, go into power management and disable everything you can | 00:31 |
| yvesyat | just did | 00:32 |
| yvesyat | thanks again man | 00:32 |
| yvesyat | where r u from? | 00:32 |
| chunkasaurusREX | hmm, wireshark still only runs if I launch from terminal, is there any way to make 'export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0' work on wireshark from launcher? | 00:33 |
| daftykins | yvesyat: channel islands | 00:33 |
| wafflejock | chunkasaurusREX: can typically modify your .desktop files to launch with whatever params you need | 00:35 |
| chunkasaurusREX | Does that apply to the Launcher icon? | 00:36 |
| wafflejock | chunkasaurusREX: can go in a terminal and, sudo updatedb, then, locate whatever.desktop if you (probably wireshark.desktop) | 00:36 |
| wafflejock | chunkasaurusREX: yeah launchers typically come from .desktop entries as far as I know | 00:36 |
| wafflejock | chunkasaurusREX: program called alacarte is helpful for modifying menu entries too most of the time... not using Unity here anymore so can't check | 00:37 |
| chunkasaurusREX | Okay cool, and on an unrelated note, how can I check to see what privileges I am letting wireshark run with? | 00:37 |
| wafflejock | chunkasaurusREX: typically if you start a process it has your user privileges you can check top to see what users process are run as or use, ps aux, that'll list the processes along with the user info | 00:38 |
| yvesyat | daftykins : thanks guy from the channel island | 00:42 |
| yvesyat | i'm heading to sleep now after launching the backup process | 00:42 |
| yvesyat | see u :) | 00:42 |
| chunkasaurusREX | awesome, thank you very much wafflejock, alacarte looks like a life-saver, checking it out now. | 00:42 |
| daftykins | yvesyat: laters :> | 00:43 |
| chunkasaurusREX | ps aux is very enlightening as well. | 00:44 |
| wafflejock | chunkasaurusREX: yup no prob | 00:50 |

| gerep | I'm logged in as userA and I'm changing the user like this: sudo su - userB | 01:00 |
| gerep | When I change the user, does it load another shell for this user? | 01:00 |

| NekoMaid420 | So I'm not in sudoers file and I have one user. What can I do to put myself back in it? | 01:59 |
| * geomyidae_ starts authoring new upstart job install-systemd-and-purge-upstart.conf | 02:00 | |
| Eduard_Munteanu | NekoMaid420, gpasswd -a user sudoers | 02:02 |
| NekoMaid420 | What will that do? | 02:02 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Add your user to the sudoers group. | 02:02 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Er, should be sudo or wheel. | 02:03 |
| geomyidae_ | Doesn't that depends on how their sudo is configured? Mine is "wheel" not "sudo", certianly not "sudoers" | 02:03 |
| * geomyidae_ forget they're in #ubuntu and sudo is preconfigured a certain way | 02:03 | |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Oh, you want to configure /etc/sudoers? Use visudo or such. | 02:04 |
| geomyidae_ | No, sorry Eduard_Munteanu, I was in {other-distro} mentality and was saying that the group to join is dependent on how the /etc/sudoers file is configured. | 02:04 |
| bufferloss | how large should I make my partitions? so far I’m only seeing minimum recommended sizes in my google searches | 02:04 |
| NekoMaid420 | Eduard_Munteanu: Do I have to run that command with sudo? | 02:05 |
| geomyidae_ | NekoMaid420: yes, if a regular, non-root/non-sudo user could add themselves without root authority, there wouldn't be much point :) | 02:05 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | bufferloss, one big partition or assign like 40GiB to / and the rest to /home. Figures vary depending on your usage. | 02:05 |
| bufferloss | Eduard_Munteanu: ok, I was going to use a separate /var partition as well | 02:06 |
| NekoMaid420 | Yeah, that's my impression. I can't execute any sudo commands at all right now geomyidae_ since my machine has only one user and that user is not in the sudoers file | 02:06 |
| === john is now known as Guest50865 | ||
| geomyidae_ | NekoMaid420: hm, that's a bit strange, if I recall, Ubuntu puts the original user in the sudoers file | 02:06 |
| geomyidae_ | Otherwise, I'm not sure how you'd go about it, except in some not-so-nice ways | 02:07 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | bufferloss, oh, well, it depends then. A lot of stuff may end up on /var in some cases, and little in others. | 02:07 |
| NekoMaid420 | Which is true, or was true. I was missing around with groups and I may have either deleted the admin group or simply removed myself from it | 02:07 |
| NekoMaid420 | Though, I'm not entirely sure. Is there a way to check that configuration geomyidae_? | 02:07 |
| mushir | I can't get network connection to work for any guest on virtualbox using ubuntu as host a tired every setting but no luck | 02:08 |
| geomyidae_ | NekoMaid420: you can check your groups with `groups` and check sudo's config with `cat /etc/sudoers` possibly | 02:08 |
| bufferloss | Eduard_Munteanu: yeah so my main concern here is that I will be working with rather large databases | 02:08 |
| bufferloss | along the lines of greater than 40GB | 02:08 |
| geomyidae_ | NekoMaid420: but yeah, if you've removed yourself from that group, it's time to break out the big-person gloves... | 02:08 |
| geomyidae_ | NekoMaid420: unless by change you've activated the root account on your install.... | 02:08 |
| bufferloss | and I would prefer to be able to just let the db take up as much room as it wants, and let the home folder take up as much room as it wants | 02:08 |
| bufferloss | so, it seems like either I want to store the postgres data dir in the /home partition | 02:09 |
| bufferloss | or… well, yeah that’s sort of my main thought at the moment | 02:09 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | bufferloss, a better convention would be using /srv rather than /home | 02:09 |
| geomyidae_ | NekoMaid420: I've just skimmed this, but it seems like a good way for you to fix your issue: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 02:10 |
| NekoMaid420 | I don't think I have activated it geomyidae_ nor can I access that file :( I don't think I've used the root account on this computer | 02:10 |
| geomyidae_ | curious if psychocats is still around... I remember that from when I was an ubuntu user. | 02:10 |
| geomyidae_ | NekoMaid420: that's fine, check the link I posted and see if it makes some sense or not | 02:10 |
| NekoMaid420 | Nice! I think that's what got linked to me earlier, but I forgot it at work, haha. Thanks geomyidae_ | 02:10 |
| * geomyidae_ even has logging in his upstart script, can confirm that the last line was executed and yet upstart thinks it's still running | 02:12 | |
| bufferloss | Eduard_Munteanu: hmm, sure, that’s a possibility, it’s not much different than using the default of /var/lib for the postgres db directory | 02:12 |
| bufferloss | the issue I’m contemplating is the possibility/eventuality that my db may likely outgrow its partition | 02:12 |
| bufferloss | and similarly that my /home dir may outgrow its partition | 02:12 |
| bufferloss | mostly only a concern if I have to choose right now to size them without really being 100% sure of how much space I’ll use on either one | 02:13 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | bufferloss, you might want to use LVM and leave some extra space unallocated, if that's more comforting. | 02:14 |
| bufferloss | Eduard_Munteanu: yeah I’ve been hearing about LVM, how do I setup/choose/etc LVM? | 02:14 |
| bufferloss | I’m looking at gparted right now | 02:14 |
| bufferloss | but the only choices I see effectively are “primary” or “logical” when I go to change my partitions | 02:14 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | bufferloss, not sure, I haven't set up LVM with the installer in ages | 02:15 |
| coffeeguy | hi how do i make all my apps use openvpn in ubuntu 14.04.3 with Gufw | 02:15 |

| bufferloss | Eduard_Munteanu: hmm, another question, gparted has an option called “Device for boot loader installation” | 02:20 |
| bufferloss | I have 2 separate physical drives, one with windows that I just installed, and now this new empty drive I’m going to install ubuntu | 02:20 |
| bufferloss | do I want to choose my windows drive for the “boot loader” or do I choose the actual drive I intend to install ubuntu on? | 02:21 |
| bufferloss | or does the mount point parameter take care of the “which drive to install ubuntu on" | 02:21 |
| bufferloss | i.e. whatever partition I specify as / basically, that’s where the system will install | 02:21 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | bufferloss, the drive with Ubuntu is likely better, as it doesn't interfere with Windows (e.g. get erased later on), but you'll have to boot from it | 02:22 |
| * geomyidae_ isnt even sure what the gparted option is used for | 02:22 | |
| geomyidae_ | It also depends on your traditional boot method, how you want to dual boot, etc. | 02:22 |
| bufferloss | Eduard_Munteanu: ahh, ok so I should choose my ubuntu drive, but then I’ll probably need to update/change my bios to try to boot from that drive first I’m guessing | 02:22 |
| bufferloss | cuz right now my bios tries to boot from my windows drive | 02:22 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Yes. | 02:23 |
| bufferloss | ok cool | 02:23 |
| geomyidae_ | If you install a NEW EFI System Partition, then you will have to use your machine boot menu to choose which OS to boot. If you install into the same ESP, then you can use systemd-boot or something else as a boot manager to choose the boot loader. | 02:23 |
| geomyidae_ | FWIW, you can programatically restart into a different OS using the system boot manager... haven't figured out how to do it with systemd-boot yet though... | 02:23 |

| bufferloss | so I just installed ubuntu | 03:08 |
| bufferloss | but I don’t get the boot loader… my bios doesn’t give me the option to boot from my second HD, only my first | 03:08 |
| bufferloss | I was going to change the boot pointer in my bios but since I can’t do that, I figure I need to reinstall/setup/etc the MBR on the correct disk | 03:09 |
| bufferloss | how do I do that? | 03:09 |

| Gerowen | Question for you Ubuntu-ers, are you able to watch Hulu? I've watched Hulu for years on Linux PCs, and all of a sudden, out of the blue, it no longer works on my Linux PCs which currently run Debian. Using Firefox it tells me to install HAL, which is deprecated and no longer in the package manager, which means hunting down and compiling it and all its dependencies, and using Google Chrome it tells me the browser doesn't support playing protected | 03:26 |
| Gerowen | content. | 03:26 |
| [n0mad] | no Gerowen | 03:26 |
| [n0mad] | been broke for a couple of months | 03:26 |
| wileee | bufferloss, Not an area I really know, but lots of helpers here who know. | 03:26 |
| bufferloss | wileee: ok, I mean I figure I can try installing the proprietary nvidia drivers | 03:27 |
| Gerowen | n0mad: That's what I thought, getting ready to send a nastygram to Hulu tech support. | 03:27 |
| [n0mad] | it actually caused me to move my fire stick to my bedroom and use my 360 in the living room | 03:27 |
| bufferloss | I was hoping to at least get a basic functionally working setup just with nv/neuvau or whatever ubuntu comes with | 03:27 |
| [n0mad] | cuz i can't use my laptop for it anymore | 03:27 |
| wileee | bufferloss, Hae you looked in the additional drivers tab in software & updates? | 03:27 |
| wileee | Have* | 03:27 |
| bufferloss | not yet, I usually use apt-get | 03:28 |
| xxy | xxy | 03:28 |
| bufferloss | that monolithic “software center” thing makes me leary :P | 03:28 |
| wileee | bufferloss, I would start there if it were me, it is a specific app just for this. | 03:28 |
| bufferloss | is that anything related to jockey? | 03:28 |
| [n0mad] | bufferloss: software & updates, not software center | 03:29 |
| bufferloss | cuz last time I used jockey was epic fail :/ | 03:29 |
| vfw | bufferloss: Yes | 03:29 |
| wileee | bufferloss, Yeah I believe so, there is a command that brings it up I think | 03:29 |
| bufferloss | I’m gonna let apt-get update && apt-get upgrade finish first | 03:29 |
| Gerowen | n0mad: I let my subscription run out, thinking about hooking up the PS3 in the living room so my wife can watch Hulu, but I've got the desktop kinda set up as a "Media PC", game console emulators, DVD player, you name it. I just didn't know if it was something specific to Debian stable (old library version or something) or if it affected other Linux distributions as well. | 03:30 |
| vfw | bufferloss: Good idea. | 03:30 |
| [n0mad] | Gerowen: i think that some distributions actually have it working still but i haven't looked at it in a while, i finally just gave up. they may have also lost it since then. not sure. | 03:31 |
| bufferloss | [n0mad]: Hulu probably got wise and added some extra layer of DRM-ish type stuff | 03:31 |
| [n0mad] | yeah, it was a change on hulu | 03:31 |
| bufferloss | thus breaking free-ish tools like whatever Ubuntu had been using | 03:31 |
| bufferloss | [n0mad]: get a roku or something | 03:32 |
| bufferloss | I have a roku, xbox, ps etc, and all of them have Hulu | 03:32 |
| [n0mad] | bufferloss: i have it working on my fire stick, roku and 360. | 03:32 |
| Darkenvy | My lamp installation wont perform php properly. while MAMP can view the same PHP file and render it correctly | 03:32 |
| Gerowen | It has been a month or so since I first noticed it. Strange that we Linux users spent YEARS crying about Netflix, we finally get an updated library that satisfied Netflix enough to enable playback using native Chrome on Linux systems, and then Hulu goes and turns it off, lol. | 03:32 |
| [n0mad] | i was just responding to Gerowen | 03:32 |
| bufferloss | oh, doh, yes that’s right | 03:33 |
| bufferloss | Gerowen: probably Hulu did something | 03:33 |
| bufferloss | Gerowen: get a roku or similar | 03:33 |
| bufferloss | amazon has one, apple has one | 03:33 |
| Gerowen | bufferloss: I've got a PS3, but I want it working on my laptop, desktop, etc. | 03:34 |
| bufferloss | you could always dual boot or run a VM | 03:34 |
| Gerowen | bufferloss: I'll reinstate my paid membership when they change whatever stupid DRM policy they implemented. | 03:34 |
| bufferloss | windows is kinda slow in a VM but I’ve done that before for netflix | 03:34 |
| bufferloss | Gerowen: hah, that’ll probably be “never" | 03:34 |
| bufferloss | TV rots your brain anyway, it’s better like this :P | 03:36 |
| Gerowen | bufferloss: It's not THAT important to me. I'll just go without it. Windows is painful enough when you actually install it, let alone run it in a VM. Last time I started my Win7 VM to test a Python script I wrote I decided to go ahead and install updates so that the VM was up to date, BIG MISTAKE. 10 freakin' years later, lol. | 03:36 |
| bufferloss | get an SSD | 03:36 |
| bufferloss | and metric crap tons of RAM | 03:37 |
| jason__ | I've managed to run some somewhat graphically intense windows only games in a virtual machine. | 03:38 |
| Gerowen | jason_ : What VM software? | 03:38 |
| bufferloss | jason__: have you tried wine for any of those? wine has relatively decent game support | 03:39 |
| jason__ | whatever the free vmware is | 03:39 |
| bufferloss | certainly many titles are lacking in good support, but plenty of them are robust on wine | 03:39 |
| bufferloss | jason__: is there a free vmware anymore? | 03:39 |
| plytro | yeah | 03:39 |
| bufferloss | I usually go with virtualbox | 03:39 |
| plytro | vmware player | 03:39 |
| Gerowen | jason_ : I just use Virtualbox, and DirectX support in it is still marked "experimental" last time I looked. | 03:39 |
| bufferloss | plytro: that’s the one where you can only run premade images though right? | 03:39 |
| plytro | bufferloss: its changed | 03:39 |
| bufferloss | ah ok, interesting, I might check it out again | 03:40 |
| plytro | you can create and other things now | 03:40 |
| plytro | no snapshots | 03:40 |
| jason__ | I think VMWare has better support for that sort of thing. | 03:40 |
| plytro | I ran stuff in Wine | 03:40 |
| plytro | team fortress 2 and teh like | 03:40 |
| bufferloss | yeah lots of big title run fine in wine | 03:40 |
| plytro | no issues with that genre of game | 03:40 |
| bufferloss | scroll through the list and look for “gold” status I think it is | 03:40 |
| plytro | now lots of games on steam are native linux | 03:40 |
| jason__ | team fortress 2 runs natively on linux, no? | 03:40 |
| bufferloss | but even non-gold are often fine | 03:40 |
| plytro | jason__: at the time it didn't | 03:40 |
| bufferloss | jason__: not natively, it runs using WINE | 03:40 |
| Darkenvy | PHP LAMP problem: http://192.173.174.132/x_location/x_current.php is blank but it should not be. | 03:41 |
| plytro | bufferloss: it is native now | 03:41 |
| bufferloss | oh, well and yeah the valve games all run on linux these days | 03:41 |
| plytro | so is counter strike, etc | 03:41 |
| bufferloss | jason__: so yes, that includes TF2 CS DOTA etc | 03:41 |
| Darkenvy | on my Mac, MAMP displays x_location/x_current.php correctly | 03:41 |
| vfw | Darkenvy: apache? | 03:41 |
| Darkenvy | is that the problem? | 03:41 |
| plytro | at the time (pentium 4, geforce 6600 gt) it ran in wine | 03:41 |
| Darkenvy | I have apache2 installed | 03:41 |
| quantic | Darkenvy: um, I'm going to say that the code isn't complete. I also have your database password. You should also never design an application to use the mysql root user. | 03:42 |
| vfw | Darkenvy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP | 03:42 |
| Darkenvy | Its not my code :P. Dang time to change THAT password XD | 03:42 |
| bufferloss | Darkenvy: I’m also gonna say that you maybe want #apache or #mamp or #macosx instead | 03:43 |
| Darkenvy | I had a problem earlier with the PHP not reading another PHP file through require(). Im guessing its all related | 03:43 |
| bufferloss | er sorry #httpd | 03:43 |
| plytro | looks like you end after a <script>...</script> no more html tags | 03:43 |
| Darkenvy | I dont want the mac anything though :S. I just tried it on there as a control to this experiment | 03:43 |
| plytro | the script to include google maps | 03:43 |
| plytro | php is probably failing to do something | 03:44 |
| quantic | Darkenvy: check pms | 03:44 |
| Darkenvy | okay | 03:44 |
| Darkenvy | the source of what is viewable seems to not be the full code | 03:45 |
| Darkenvy | of what should be interpreted | 03:45 |
| bufferloss | Darkenvy: you want one of ##php or #httpd or #mysql | 03:47 |
| Darkenvy | okay | 03:47 |
| bufferloss | probably #httpd | 03:47 |
| Gerowen | Getting ready to switch back over to Ubuntu. I tried Debian for the past couple weeks, and it's fine, but lacks "polish" in certain areas. Font anti-aliasing is lacking in certain scenarios, the versions of certain software packages are already pretty dated, etc. I'll go ahead and get 15.04 installed and then do an in-place upgrade to 15.10 in a couple of days. Plus the people in this IRC channel are generally more active I think, easier to get a | 03:49 |
| Gerowen | quick answer. | 03:49 |
| Gerowen | Here's an example of the font issue. No amount of installing additional fonts, including MSTT Core fonts, or adjusting the font settings in the Gnome Tweak UI fixes it. This is what I see on certain websites, like CNN in this example. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6017319/Screenshots/cnnfonts.png | 03:52 |
| Gerowen | Ubuntu just seems a little more polished when it comes to basic things. | 03:52 |
| bufferloss | Gerowen: yes, Ubuntu is generally more polished, my anti aliasing is pretty much fine | 03:54 |
| === bschaefer_ is now known as bschaefer | ||
| bufferloss | Gerowen: debian is really a server distribution | 03:54 |
| bufferloss | if you want anti aliasing you want more of a workstation distro | 03:54 |
| bufferloss | Ubuntu is definitely my only choice for a workstation | 03:55 |
| bufferloss | I dunno, I mean Fedora is probably ok for some folks. I used it back during the FC1 and FC2 days, then I tried it again more recently, couple times in the past couple years | 03:55 |
| bufferloss | I just like Ubuntu so much better | 03:55 |
| Gerowen | bufferloss: I don't mind doing work customizing things, but it's nice to have a good starting point where the basic stuff is taken care of. | 03:55 |
| bufferloss | I had definite problems with Fedora in terms of getting what I wanted | 03:56 |
| bufferloss | Fedora is an ok choice if you’re planning to prepare to work with CentOS servers for example | 03:56 |
| bufferloss | all the things you learn on Fedora will be relatively apropos to CentOS, but otherwise, I’d stay stick with Ubuntu | 03:56 |
| bufferloss | Gerowen: if you’re interested in slightly more proprietary things like Hulu, Ubuntu is the only choice right now | 03:56 |
| bufferloss | Gerowen: evidence: steam is only officially supported on Ubuntu | 03:57 |
| Gerowen | bufferloss: I remember I used Fedora Core 4 for a little while and liked it, but it seemed like, at least at that time, RPMs, or at least the ones I chose, were hard to work with. Every time I would find something in RPM format and try to install it, I'd have to go find RPMs of all its dependencies and install those first, or drop them into the same folder with the end product so it could find them and install them. Apt-get/Aptitude just seemed | 03:57 |
| Gerowen | smarter and easier to work with. | 03:57 |
| bufferloss | you can install steam basically anywhere, I’ve installed steam just fine on Arch for example | 03:57 |
| bufferloss | but technically, Valve only “truly” supports Ubuntu | 03:57 |
| bufferloss | Gerowen: meh, yum is fine, pretty good and not really any better or worse than apt-get as I remember | 03:57 |
| Gerowen | bufferloss: Yeah I've been playing my Steam games on Debian with no issues. In a perfect world everything would abide by the Debian Free Software Guidelines or the GNU GPL, but there's some things in life that I need or want to use that don't. | 03:58 |
| bufferloss | but dealing with proprietary repos is more of a pain | 03:58 |
| bufferloss | (more of a pain on fedora) | 03:58 |
| bufferloss | Ubuntu has great repos, free and non-free | 03:58 |
| Gerowen | Now if deja-dup would hurry up with finishing my backup I could get one with installing Ubuntu, :P | 04:00 |
| quantic | I use Ubuntu for personal workstations and servers. My workstation is CentOS, same as the servers I manage. | 04:03 |
| Gerowen | Question, if I install the Beta 2 for 15.10 will it automagically update to the "release" version on the 22nd? Does it run off the same repos? | 04:03 |
| quantic | Rather: My work-workstation is CentOS, etc. | 04:03 |
| quantic | Gerowen: Yes, it'll follow the wily repos. | 04:04 |
| Gerowen | quantic: Never used CentOS. Was gonna install it in a VM a few days back just to play around with it, but my laptop doesn't support 64 bit virtual machines for some reason (even though it has a 64 bit processor it's missing certain extensions I guess), and there's no 32 bit version of CentOS available in the newer versions that I could find. | 04:05 |
| quantic | Gerowen: The virtualization extensions may be turned off. I run into that a lot on some hardware. | 04:05 |
| Gerowen | quantic: Will have to go check the BIOS settings, cause' I can run 32 bit guest systems, just not 64 bit. | 04:06 |
| bufferloss | hmm, by default after a fresh install I’m not seeing multiple desktops | 04:07 |
| bufferloss | how do I change that | 04:07 |
| quantic | Gerowen: What CPU are you running? I can verify whether or not you've got the necessary extensions. | 04:11 |
| Gerowen | bufferloss: Change the default, or add desktops? | 04:12 |
| Gerowen | quantic: Intel Pentium B960 | 04:13 |
| Gerowen | quantic: dual core, 2.2 Ghz | 04:13 |
| quantic | Gerowen: Whoa. No, you definitely do NOT have the necessary extensions. | 04:13 |
| Gerowen | quantic: :P | 04:13 |
| Gerowen | Like I said, it's 64 bit, but it's just an old Toshiba laptop. I use it for some light gaming, browsing, e-mailing, movies/music, occasionally coding on a couple newblet projects I have on sourceforge, but nothing terribly CPU intensive. | 04:14 |
| Gerowen | The biggest CPU hog of a game I've played I think has been Half Life 2 Episode 2, I just finished it last week or so. | 04:15 |
| RepThis1 | I was wondering if anyone knew how to configure ubuntu to use a vpn using openvpn or the likes via commandline? I have the .ovpn, ca.crt, and crl.pem but when i tried to connect it freezes after username and password authentication. | 04:16 |
| quantic | Gerowen: If you're interested in checking it out: http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/i386/CentOS-7-i386-DVD-1503.iso | 04:17 |
| quantic | Gerowen: There's a 32-bit release, now. | 04:18 |
| bufferloss | Gerowen: well, I want multiple desktops | 04:18 |
| bufferloss | maybe I don’t have them configured | 04:18 |
| Gerowen | quantic: Ah Ok, once I get bumped back over to Ubuntu I'll check it out, :-) | 04:18 |
| bufferloss | enable them add then, whatever | 04:18 |
| bufferloss | I don’t see anywhere in the settings panel to do this | 04:18 |
| quantic | RepThis1: When it freezes, do you get a message of any kind? Anything in the logs? Network interface configuration and state at the time of the freeze? | 04:19 |
| Gerowen | bufferloss: http://askubuntu.com/questions/260510/how-do-i-turn-on-workspaces-why-do-i-only-have-one-workspace | 04:19 |

| RepThis1 | quantic: i wouldnt be sure which logs to check but as the process ran it did give some output on which last step it was able to complete. Give me a second though cause someone said i just need a password file to add to the line of arguments when run. | 04:20 |
| quantic | RepThis1: If you're only using username/password auth, that doesn't sound right. | 04:21 |
| quantic | RepThis1: But let me know how it goes. | 04:21 |
| Twirl | hi, where cna i submit a bug ? | 04:25 |

| Gerowen | That was fast, lol, 3 seconds. | 04:26 |
| RepThis1 | quantic: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12883485/ it freezes on the last step, then usually i have to power cycle | 04:39 |
| quantic | RepThis1: You really shouldn't be using a file for username and password. | 04:42 |
| quantic | RepThis1: That said, there's nothing in that log that indicates an issue. Can you add "verb 4" to your .ovpn and try again? | 04:43 |
| quantic | RepThis1: And remove the password file from the mix. :P | 04:45 |
| Jordan_U | RepThis1: A better solution, assuming you don't need the VPN before logging in, would be to save your VPN credentials to the GNOME Keyring, which will then be unlocked by your user's password when you log in. No passwords stored unencrypted/unhashed at all. | 04:45 |
| quantic | ^ | 04:45 |
| RepThis1 | Jordan_U: headless vps server. | 04:45 |
| Jordan_U | RepThis1: OK. | 04:46 |

| chigang | hi, when I install Ubuntu 14.04 server, there is a error "mounting /dev/fd0 on /media failed No such file or directory", so install failed. who can help me, thanks | 05:48 |
| hateball | chigang: is this in a VM or on iron? | 05:49 |
| chigang | hateball: in a baremetal | 05:49 |
| hateball | chigang: How strange, it should have no business trying to mount a floppy drive | 05:50 |
| chigang | hateball: yes, it is so strange, I install on a blade server, there is no floppy drive. | 05:51 |
| BuzzardBuzz | chigang: are you customizing your partitions and mount points or using the guided recommended stuff for that | 05:51 |
| BuzzardBuzz | chigang: likely that your hardware has an enabled floppy controller that you likely dont want to use | 05:54 |
| hateball | chigang: A bit of google https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks2/+bug/1054414/comments/35 | 05:54 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1054414 in udisks2 (Arch Linux) "Tries to automount floppy drives" [Undecided,New] | 05:54 |
| chigang | BuzzardBuzz: I used a preseed file for auto installation. | 05:54 |
| hateball | chigang: So disabling floppy in BIOS may be helpful | 05:54 |
| hateball | If the preseed was generated on a system with a floppy and you're on one without... that may break things, I suppose | 05:55 |
| chigang | hateball: thanks, I will try it. | 05:57 |
| chigang | BuzzardBuzz: I try to disable floppy first,thanks. | 05:58 |
| BuzzardBuzz | chigang: The mount failing is no big deal, this should not cause an instal fail | 06:00 |
| Gerowen | Any idea why in later versions of Ubuntu/Debian, there's no "New tab" option in Gnome Terminal any more, it just opens a separate window? | 06:01 |
| Gerowen | I know I can CTRL+SHIFT+T, just curiosity really. | 06:02 |
| chigang | BuzzardBuzz: but Installation is stop, I can't see any information from the screen. so I think is failed. | 06:02 |

| chigang | BuzzardBuzz: that is a picture about it. | 06:03 |
| BuzzardBuzz | Weird. After letting it sit for about 15 minutes on the blank purple screen, it started working again, went through setting up the user, asked about encrypting the home directory, then went back to a blank purple screen. There were a few other occasions where it sat to think for 5 minutes or so, but installation finished ok. (eventually) | 06:04 |

| === michael__ is now known as Guest90986 | ||

| erebus^ | same for ctrl + alt + l for lock | 08:16 |
| erebus^ | happend before to, had to do a reinstall to get them back | 08:16 |

| dm_comp | erebus^: works for me and i updated today | 08:16 |
| dm_comp | lock too | 08:17 |
| erebus^ | happend to me on two reinstalls now, i cant format my damn mashine to get back hotkeys! | 08:17 |
| dm_comp | erebus 15.4? | 08:17 |
| erebus^ | yup | 08:17 |
| erebus^ | alt + tab works | 08:18 |
| erebus^ | know any other ctlr + alt hotkeys i can try? | 08:18 |
| dm_comp | what happens when you hold down meta-key? | 08:18 |
| dm_comp | do you get keyboard shortcuts screen? | 08:19 |
| Bleakwise | so erm, when Ubuntu switches to systemd, does that mean we'll have our config files in /etc/sysconfig/? | 08:19 |
| erebus^ | dm_comp: i do... | 08:19 |
| Bleakwise | and will we start using systemctl for things instead of /etc/init.d/? | 08:20 |
| erebus^ | ctrl + alt + arrow switches workspace like normal | 08:20 |
| auronandace | Bleakwise: the switch has already happened in 15.04 | 08:21 |
| Bleakwise | I suppose i'll have to take it for a spin | 08:21 |
| Bleakwise | i have to say, 14.04 seems to be in an odd spot atm, going from upstart to systemd might be rough | 08:22 |
| dm_comp | Bleakwise: 15.04 it's been the most stable linux I've used to date. I'm really impressed by it :) | 08:22 |
| dm_comp | erebus^ I just updated and everything works... not sure what could be causing to for you ... google is your best bet :( | 08:23 |
| dm_comp | s/to/it | 08:24 |
| erebus^ | dm_comp: yeah, thanks though | 08:24 |
| erebus^ | has happend early as well, o cant be lates update eighter | 08:24 |

| BlackDalek | I have usb soundcard which identifies as ID 0d8c:0006 C-Media Electronics, Inc. Storm HP-USB500 5.1 Headset. It worked in Ubuntu 9.04. It does not work in Ubuntu 15.04. Not detected as an output device but does work as input device. How do I get this working? | 08:54 |
| TJ- | BlackDalek: by 'not detected as an output device' you mean ALSA tools cannot see any output sink on the device? | 08:56 |
| BlackDalek | TJ-, I mean, in System Settings>Sound> there is nothing under the output tab for it. | 08:57 |
| BlackDalek | TJ-, it only shows under the input tab | 08:57 |
| citrix | hey can you explain me how tom linked list data are insert into linked list | 08:58 |
| TJ- | BlackDalek: It's always best to start with the low-level (terminal) tools to verify what devices/sinks/sources are available, and then work up to the GUI. Often the issue is simply that the system has multiple sound devices and a different device has become the default (without specific rules, first discovered becomes the default) | 09:01 |
| === DerRaiden is now known as DerRaiden__ | ||
| BlackDalek | TJ-, it lists as a device under lsusb... I can select it as a sound card device using alsamixer, but I can't choose it from the sound settings panel in unity. | 09:04 |
| citrix | hey can you explain me how to linked list data are insert into linked list | 09:05 |
| citrix | anyone here | 09:05 |

| citrix | <lotuspsychje> can you explain me ?? | 09:07 |
| bekks | citrix: Just ask in ##programming | 09:07 |
| citrix | yes | 09:08 |
| BlackDalek | TJ-, how do I verify what devices/sinks/sources are available? | 09:09 |
| citrix | <bekks> yes ask in programming | 09:09 |
| citrix | <bekks> can u explain me ? | 09:09 |
| TJ- | BlackDalek: "aplay -l" to show basic devices; "aplay -L" to show all sinks/sources/profiles | 09:10 |
| bekks | citrix: Ask ##programming. | 09:10 |
| citrix | i have done create doubly linked list and i want to store element in the stack how can i do ?<bekks> | 09:12 |
| lotuspsychje | citrix: do you even have ubuntu? | 09:13 |
| bekks | citrix: Do you understand that this channel is #ubuntu and not ##programming? Asl ##programming please | 09:13 |
| BlackDalek | TJ-, both aplay -l and -L output details about the USB sound device. | 09:14 |
| TJ- | BlackDalek: in the '-L' output ensure there are sinks (output profiles) listed. If so, then I'd guess the issue is simply the GUI has the wrong default output selected. Maybe there's a 'mixer config' or similar option to set that? | 09:15 |
| BlackDalek | TJ-, aplay -L lists various things such as "IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output" and "2.1 Surround output to Front and Subwoofer speakers" etc... where would I find a "mixer config" to select a default output? | 09:18 |
| TJ- | BlackDalek: Ensure '-L' also lists sinks (outputs) for the headset DEV as well as the system's built-in sound device. I'd assume you should be seeing DEV=0 for the built-in, and DEV=1 for the headset | 09:23 |

| BlackDalek | TJ-, i don't see anything mentioning sinks in -L so I've pasted it here http://paste.ubuntu.com/12884486/ | 09:35 |
| TJ- | BlackDalek: the headset would appear to be the "CARD=Audio" device, which shows several profiles such as surround21 and so forth. So the outputs are there, and the issue must be in the default selected by the GUI mixer. Change the default. | 09:37 |
| BlackDalek | TJ-, what GUI mixer? | 09:38 |
| cfhowlett | aman_, yep. your wfi chip is unsupported. the bug is still open and unassigned. | 09:39 |

| OnceMe | Ive made it from iso with startup disk creator | 10:35 |
| sevag | running dpkg with --force-confmiss --force-confnew did the trick | 10:36 |
| cfhowlett | OnceMe, and you're now booted from that USB?? | 10:37 |
| OnceMe | yes | 10:37 |
| cfhowlett | OnceMe, not sure what's happening, but check you target path: filesystem > media > cdrom | 10:38 |
| alian | Hello! | 10:39 |
| OnceMe | also my mounted unecrypted /tmp/ecrypfs is also read-only system | 10:41 |
| OnceMe | is there a way to make it rw? | 10:41 |
| cfhowlett | encrypted! yeah, that adds another level of complexty. | 10:41 |
| OnceMe | yeah my system is totally screwed | 10:41 |
| OnceMe | but at least I got in my files | 10:42 |
| OnceMe | :) | 10:42 |
| OnceMe | I could cp * outside of encrypted dir | 10:42 |
| ducasse | OnceMe: can't you just remount it read-write? 'sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/whatever' | 10:44 |
| OnceMe | maybe but nvm I am going to c/p and buy external disk so I can backup everything | 10:46 |
| OnceMe | better to play safe | 10:47 |
| OnceMe | should I buy SSD or regular SATA disk? | 10:47 |
| bekks | OnceMe: Doesnt matter, for backups- | 10:47 |
| ducasse | OnceMe: for backup, just get a spinning disk | 10:47 |
| OnceMe | ok thanks | 10:47 |
| OerHeks | You can encrypt both, OnceMe | 10:47 |
| OnceMe | btw once Im done with backups, how can I ensure that data on my backup disk cannot be retrieved? After I reformatted it | 10:48 |
| bekks | OnceMe: Why do you take a backup if you dont want it to be retrieved? | 10:48 |
| BlackDalek | what alternative GUI mixers are available? I need one which will let me choose the default audio output device. | 10:49 |
| TJ- | OnceMe: Impressive, didn't think last night you'd really still be here 12 hours later!! | 10:49 |
| Ian352 | join #ubuntu_fr | 10:49 |
| OnceMe | bekks:once I resync it | 10:49 |
| OnceMe | I want to destroy it | 10:49 |
| OnceMe | TJ-:I wasnt | 10:50 |
| OnceMe | I slept for 10 hours str8 and while I was sleeping I got the idea how could I retrieve passphrase and encrypted files :) | 10:50 |
| bekks | OnceMe: Then you dont have backups again. Thats nonsense :) | 10:50 |
| OnceMe | well that and my friend helped me a bit :) | 10:50 |
| TJ- | OnceMe: as to making an ecryptfs mount writeable; yes, just use "mount -o remount,rw /path/to/mountpoint" | 10:50 |
| OnceMe | after I resync fiels I want to purge backup disk | 10:51 |
| bekks | OnceMe: Better use the disk for further backups. | 10:52 |
| OnceMe | what if it gets stolen? | 10:52 |
| bekks | OnceMe: Encrypt it. | 10:52 |
| OnceMe | oh no | 10:52 |
| OnceMe | not that hell again | 10:52 |
| bekks | Then dont encrypt it and place it somewhere where it doesnt get stolen. | 10:53 |
| bekks | OnceMe: Living with backups is just too risky as you've seen. | 10:53 |
| OnceMe | heh :D | 10:54 |
| OnceMe | what HDD is the best? | 10:54 |
| bekks | The one you like most. | 10:54 |
| OnceMe | SATA3 7200 is what I have currently | 10:54 |
| linocisco | what can be used as SMS aggregator ? | 10:55 |

| adnauseam | salut comrades. im trying to edit an nginx direcry, located at default (usr/share/nginx/html) - user/group were root:root, but i've changed it to www-data:root. my own user is part of the www-data group - am i always required to sudo everything i do in that directory? how cani make it that i don't need to always sudo ? | 10:56 |
| OerHeks | !info alamin | 10:57 |
| ubottu | Package alamin does not exist in vivid | 10:57 |
| Mion | adnauseam: don't do that, it makes no sense to do it | 10:57 |
| Mion | adnauseam: what are you *actually* trying to do? | 10:57 |
| hateball | adnauseam: also, it's user:group | 10:57 |
| adnauseam | i am trying to setup a webserver to work in | 10:58 |
| Mion | adnauseam: and why are you messing around in /usr/share? | 10:58 |
| adnauseam | i installed nginx, now trying to work in its directory. | 10:58 |
| cfhowlett | !server | adnauseam | 10:58 |
| ubottu | adnauseam: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Trusty (Trusty Tahr 14.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide - Support in #ubuntu-server | 10:58 |
| Mion | and that doesn't explain what you are *actually* trying to do | 10:58 |
| adnauseam | nginx has its default in /usr/share | 10:59 |
| Mion | adnauseam: are you just trying to set the dir it hosts content from? | 10:59 |
| adnauseam | yes | 10:59 |
| Mion | adnauseam: use /src | 10:59 |
| adnauseam | and work in - dev | 10:59 |
| Mion | /srv* | 10:59 |
| Mion | it is what it was created for | 10:59 |
| adnauseam | roger, change nginx root to /srv | 10:59 |
| Mion | and use acl | 10:59 |
| adnauseam | will man acl | 10:59 |
| BlackDalek | how do I make this USB audio device work? it does not show up in the sound settings. It is Device 019: ID 0d8c:0006 C-Media Electronics, Inc. Storm HP-USB500 5.1 Headset | 10:59 |
| Mion | I suggest /srv/http/<site> | 10:59 |
| Mion | BlackDalek: most just work ™ | 11:00 |
| Mion | since most talk standard protocols | 11:00 |
| adnauseam | the reason i'm always using /usr/share is because i couldn't change it in nginx's own configs. perhaps the permissions were off but it wouldn't read my index.html | 11:00 |
| Mion | BlackDalek: aplay -l | 11:00 |
| BlackDalek | Mion, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12884486/ | 11:01 |
| Mion | adnauseam: you can change it | 11:02 |
| Mion | adnauseam: and /usr/share is *never* the correct place to host from | 11:02 |
| Mion | the ubuntu docs even tells you to use /srv in their example config | 11:02 |
| Mion | though the docs are outdated | 11:02 |
| adnauseam | by the way - /srv/ is root:root itself. | 11:02 |
| Mion | you should use a subdir as I said | 11:02 |
| Mion | preferably one per site | 11:02 |
| BlackDalek | Mion aplay lists the device, but I still can't choose it from the sound settigs gui | 11:02 |
| adnauseam | outdated shouldn't be a problem if it's enough ot get me going - as to root:root, is it ok to chown to my own user ? | 11:02 |
| adnauseam | or stick to www-data | 11:03 |
| Mion | BlackDalek: check the pulse mixer | 11:03 |
| Mion | pavucontrol | 11:03 |
| Mion | adnauseam: don't change the permission on /srv itself | 11:04 |
| Mion | create /srv/http/somesite and set the permission on that so that your user can read/write to it | 11:04 |
| adnauseam | roger | 11:04 |
| BlackDalek | Mion, what pulse mixer? | 11:04 |
| Mion | and ofcourse so that the user you run nginx as also can | 11:04 |
| Mion | BlackDalek: 13:03:38 Mion ╡ pavucontrol | 11:04 |
| Mion | BlackDalek: or pacmd/ponymix/whatever | 11:04 |
| Mion | adnauseam: I suggest using acl for it, it makes life easier | 11:05 |
| adnauseam | i will look into acl - never used it before | 11:06 |
| adnauseam | btw, thank <3 | 11:07 |
| === Fredrich_ is now known as Nicola-1980 | ||
| adnauseam | another issue, i've set /boot to 100mb, and a system update complained that there isn't space. i can't resize /boot. what's the best way to go about this ? | 11:10 |
| BlackDalek | Mion.. it shows up in pavucontrol but I see no way to choose it as the output device. Any clues? | 11:11 |
| Ben64 | thats really small for /boot | 11:11 |
| bekks | adnauseam: use a bigger /boot. Why cant you resize your partitions? | 11:12 |
| BlackDalek | Mion, as far as I can tell all pavucontrol does is show me devices available and lets me move level sliders.. but beyond that it seems to be functionally useless. | 11:12 |
| Mion | BlackDalek: it is far from useless | 11:13 |
| Mion | BlackDalek: if you can see your device in there, then you can route to it | 11:13 |
| adnauseam | bekks: they're in serial progression, after boot comes / @ 100gb, and the rest is @ /home. /boot is sitting at the start | 11:13 |
| BlackDalek | Mion, that sounds promising... how do I route to my device? | 11:13 |
| bekks | adnauseam: And why cant you resize them? | 11:13 |
| Mion | BlackDalek: while you are playing somethign with sound, go to the playback tab and just select the device you want for the stream you want | 11:14 |
| Mion | or set the default playback device in the output device tab | 11:14 |
| adnauseam | i cant resize /boot in particular because it's sitting at in the beginning. im considering taking a cunk from the end of /home and renaming it to /boot. can i copy /boot to that partition and hve it work or would htat shoot up my boot loader ? | 11:14 |
| bekks | adnauseam: Of course you can resize your partitions. | 11:15 |
| adnauseam | gparted ins't the tool for that then - how would you go about it ? | 11:15 |
| bekks | adnauseam: Resize all partitoins so you get free space after /boot. | 11:15 |
| bekks | gparted is the tool for it. | 11:15 |
| adnauseam | hmm, ill take a second look | 11:15 |
| hateball | adnauseam: you need to liveboot, you cant resize mounted partitions | 11:15 |
| === ulot0 is now known as ubrll | ||
| adnauseam | oh thank you hateball, now i understand why gparted wont let it me do it | 11:16 |
| adnauseam | an issue for another day then - the system is functional for now | 11:17 |
| BlackDalek | Mion, ok... figured out how to select the device in pavucontrol while sound is playiing... the level indicator is displaying activity, but no sound coming out of speakers. | 11:18 |
| Mion | BlackDalek: check the output mode | 11:18 |
| Mion | and that the headphones are actually working :) | 11:18 |
| Mion | with some surround headsets you have to change the mode in the configuration tab for it | 11:19 |
| Mion | depending on the audio source | 11:19 |
| === ubrll is now known as linux | ||
| === linux is now known as driftnet | ||
| BlackDalek | Mion there are 3 options in the configuration tab for the device or "off". None of these option produce any sound | 11:22 |
| Mion | check that it is not muted in the output devices tab | 11:23 |
| Mion | you will get a moving bar in the playback tab even if it is muted in output devices | 11:23 |
| BlackDalek | Mion, checked... it is not muted. | 11:24 |
| OnceMe | should I install linux or windows 8 first? | 11:26 |

| === tuxbrave_ is now known as tux_brave201 | ||
| BlackDalek | Mion, have we reached another dead end? This device last worked back in ubuntu 9.04 and has not worked in any ubuntu OS since. Google search reveals no solution but seems to confirm it is a known bug which apparently has been ignored, probably due to lack of interest. | 11:34 |
| BlackDalek | Mion, looks like no one wants to fix the issue, so it gets ignored with each new release. :( | 11:35 |
| Mion | BlackDalek: sure it is not a hardware issue? | 11:35 |
| Mion | test it on another machine | 11:35 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: you can always try asking in ##linux too if someone had same issue on your device | 11:36 |
| OnceMe | Mion:hey well | 11:38 |
| OnceMe | I cant see any graphics when login to ubuntu | 11:38 |
| OnceMe | I mean internal gpu works, but my amd radeon doesnt, without driver | 11:39 |
| OnceMe | how to check if is uefi ? | 11:39 |
| TJ- | BlackDalek: you could try using the ALSA "speaker-test" | 11:39 |
| OnceMe | I GPT'd it yesterday | 11:39 |
| OnceMe | but not sure what is the best one, gpt mbr uefi efi | 11:39 |
| OnceMe | tbh I dont know the difference between those | 11:39 |
| EriC^^ | OnceMe: ls -l /sys/firmware/efi | 11:39 |
| OnceMe | EriC^^:on live session? | 11:39 |
| EriC^^ | yeah | 11:39 |
| EriC^^ | it'll tell you if you're booted in uefi mode | 11:40 |
| OnceMe | I have efivars systab and vars | 11:40 |
| Mion | OnceMe: if you use uefi then it doesn't matter which os you install first | 11:40 |
| BlackDalek | Mion, it is a hardware issue in that the USB hardware does not work with this OS. All my systems run Ubuntu 15.04 now. A laptop, a PC, an intel Mac. All same result with this device. | 11:40 |
| EriC^^ | OnceMe: ok, so you're booted in uefi mode | 11:40 |
| Mion | if you use old school bios or horriblem CMS then it does, because windows will nuke any existing bootloader in that case | 11:40 |
| EriC^^ | Mion: actually it does, windows will still change the boot order, so he'll need to use a live usb to change that | 11:41 |
| EriC^^ | ( unless he has a uefi menu that he can use to boot ubuntu then grub-install ) | 11:41 |
| Mion | EriC^^: he can just mash f8 or whatever during boot | 11:41 |
| Mion | all sane hardware have a boot selector menu | 11:42 |
| OnceMe | EriC^^:I have weird bios though | 11:42 |
| OnceMe | all graphical, never seen that befroe | 11:42 |
| Mion | or he can change the order from windows | 11:42 |
| OnceMe | and I have 3 disks from some reason, and I should have one | 11:42 |
| Mion | windows has a tool for poking at the uefi boot table | 11:42 |
| OnceMe | I could take a pic later on when I backup stuff | 11:42 |
| EriC^^ | OnceMe: nothing is installed yet? | 11:43 |
| OnceMe | it is | 11:43 |
| EriC^^ | type sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999 | 11:43 |
| OnceMe | no I have bunch of partitions | 11:43 |
| EriC^^ | it'll show you the disks and partitions and pastebin them, paste the link here | 11:43 |
| OnceMe | I dont even know what is what for | 11:43 |
| OnceMe | is that -l | 11:43 |
| EriC^^ | yeah | 11:43 |
| BlackDalek | what is speaker-test expecting after the -D option? a device ID number? | 11:44 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: might be interesting to dmesg and syslog in realtime while plugin your usb | 11:44 |
| OnceMe | b0nf | 11:44 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: tail -f /var/log/syslog | 11:44 |

| OnceMe | I was retarded and had separate boot home efi swap | 11:46 |
| OnceMe | everything separated | 11:46 |
| OnceMe | EriC^^:yes | 11:46 |
| EriC^^ | ubuntu or live usb? | 11:46 |
| bekks | OnceMe: Thats not retarded, but required. | 11:46 |
| OnceMe | live usb | 11:46 |
| EriC^^ | OnceMe: ok, so right now windows just boots directly? | 11:46 |
| OnceMe | no | 11:46 |
| OnceMe | right now I cant access neithr ubuntu nor windows | 11:46 |

| OnceMe | EriC^^:can that way | 11:48 |
| OnceMe | till I buy hdd and backup evertyhing | 11:48 |
| OnceMe | then I can play whatever you want :D | 11:48 |
| EriC^^ | OnceMe: that just shows the efi boot manager | 11:49 |
| cfhowlett | !newest | absklb | 11:49 |
| ubottu | absklb: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 11:49 |
| absklb | cfhowlett: tell that to Canvas LMS team. not to me. | 11:50 |
| absklb | thanks. | 11:50 |
| EriC^^ | OnceMe: it installs it to the live session not the actual pc btw | 11:50 |
| OerHeks | absklb, where do you find npm 2.5? https://nodejs.org/download/release/npm/ | 11:51 |
| OnceMe | EriC^^:termbin.com/uw21 | 11:55 |
| hamza | quick question, do you find the Ubuntu LTS kernel to be incompatable with the mumble package? i do, mumble does not work for the latest LTS kernel | 11:56 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, Is there anything significant in here? http://paste.ubuntu.com/12885176/ | 11:56 |
| bekks | hamza: So which mumble package version and which kernel version do you use? | 11:56 |
| EriC^^ | OnceMe: looks like it's booting the ubuntu efi file first | 11:56 |
| EriC^^ | OnceMe: what happens when you start the pc right now? | 11:56 |
| === adnauseam is now known as Guest10037 | ||
| OnceMe | i get usb live session ubuntu | 11:57 |
| hamza | bekks: kernel version is LTS "3.13.0-66-generic", mumble's version is provided from the repository "mumble1.2.4-0.2ubuntu1.1" | 11:57 |
| bekks | hamza: Sounds like you want to install the latest hardware enablement stack first, to get a somehow more recent kernel. :) | 11:58 |
| EriC^^ | OnceMe: did you try booting without the usb plugged in? | 11:58 |
| OnceMe | yes | 11:58 |
| OnceMe | I get grub | 11:58 |
| OnceMe | but as you can see I have "3" disks in bios | 11:58 |
| OnceMe | when in fact I have one physical | 11:58 |
| OnceMe | whats happening? | 11:58 |
| absklb | OerHeks: Canvas LMS | 11:58 |
| hamza | bekks: good one, i thought LTS stands for long term support | 11:58 |
| EriC^^ | OnceMe: what do you mean by grub? a grub menu? | 11:59 |
| hamza | so i would use that | 11:59 |
| bekks | hamza: Do you know what the HWE does and what it is for? Sounds like "no". | 11:59 |
| absklb | OerHeks: while installing npm its giving me error that i have 1.3 but it needs 2.5 | 11:59 |
| OerHeks | absklb, i think you need to build it yourself, else reask in #ubuntu-server | 11:59 |
| absklb | ok | 11:59 |
| hamza | bekks: no | 11:59 |
| bekks | hamza: Then please refrain from mocking about it and read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack first. | 12:00 |
| OnceMe | EriC^^:yes | 12:00 |
| EriC^^ | OnceMe: so ubuntu boots fine and so does windows? | 12:00 |
| EriC^^ | i thought you said neither work | 12:00 |
| OnceMe | nope | 12:00 |
| OnceMe | neither boots fine | 12:00 |
| EriC^^ | OnceMe: ok, so what happens when you choose ubuntu | 12:01 |
| EriC^^ | OnceMe: those aren't disks in the bios, those are just efi files on the same disk and usb | 12:01 |
| OnceMe | I want to purge efi | 12:01 |
| OnceMe | and just uefi | 12:01 |
| OnceMe | how to accomplish that? | 12:01 |
| bekks | OnceMe: efi is uefi. | 12:01 |
| OnceMe | when I select ubuntu nothing happens, I get initrframs | 12:02 |
| OnceMe | ok and what is uefi? | 12:02 |
| bekks | !uefi | OnceMe | 12:02 |
| ubottu | OnceMe: 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 | 12:02 |
| EriC^^ | OnceMe: did you install this on another pc and then plug the hdd here? | 12:02 |
| OnceMe | no | 12:02 |
| OnceMe | I did all on my machine | 12:02 |
| EriC^^ | OnceMe: ok, so what happens when you boot windows? | 12:02 |
| OnceMe | thats even worse | 12:04 |
| OnceMe | I get unknown filetype system | 12:04 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: is this usb 2.0 port? | 12:04 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, I guess so. how can I tell? | 12:05 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: this doesnt look to good: kernel: [36792.250196] usb 1-1.2: cannot submit urb 0, error -28: not enough bandwidth | 12:06 |
| OnceMe | EriC^^:is current setup good for new fresh win 8 and ubuntu install? | 12:06 |
| OnceMe | also how can I remove ubuntu disk/uefi in bios? | 12:06 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, what does that even mean? | 12:06 |
| EriC^^ | OnceMe: yeah, reinstall windows then ubuntu | 12:07 |
| EriC^^ | OnceMe: sudo efibootmgr -b -B 0000 | 12:07 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: not sure but smells like your device cant get enough bandwith to work properly | 12:07 |
| EriC^^ | OnceMe: actually, sudo efibootmgr -B -b 0000 | 12:07 |
| hamza | thanks bekks , i will upgrade my kernel | 12:08 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, I can't smell anything... but an LED on the device flashes when an app is playing sound. | 12:09 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: but your device doesnt work properly? | 12:10 |
| TJ- | BlackDalek: "URB" is a USB request block. If the USB controller/port doesn't have enough bandwidth the kernel will report "cannot submit urb" with error -28. Try a different USB port, which may be on an alternative controller | 12:10 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, correct. no sound output. | 12:10 |
| linelevel | Hi... so I accidentally deleted a bunch of stuff from my user's home directory on my server... but not ~/.ssh (that's still intact, including `authorized_keys`). However, now when I try to SSH into the server, I get "Permission denied (publickey)." -- How should I go about troubleshooting this to figure out why I cannot connect? | 12:11 |
| linelevel | Note that I can still get filesystem access by stopping the VM and mounting the root volume on a different VM. | 12:12 |
| BlackDalek | TJ-, I only have 3 USB ports to choose from.. cannot get a peep out of the device on any of them. | 12:12 |
| lotuspsychje | linelevel: maybe the #openssh guys can troubleshoot this? | 12:12 |
| linelevel | lotuspsychje: Thanks, I'll give that a shot. | 12:12 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: are you connecting through an usb hub? | 12:13 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, no - I do not have a hub. I only have the ports on this laptop (or ports on the other computers). | 12:13 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: might be worth trying on an usb 3.0 with ubuntu somewhere perhaps | 12:14 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, speaker of usb 2.0 and 3.0... how do I determine which of these my USB ports are? | 12:15 |
| BlackDalek | speaking* | 12:15 |
| auronandace | usb3 is blue | 12:16 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: lookup your pc sheet specs | 12:16 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, so it is impossible to tell USB version through some kind of handy terminal command? | 12:17 |
| BlackDalek | :( | 12:17 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: lusb | 12:18 |

| EriC^^ | absklb: did you remount rw first? | 12:19 |
| absklb | EriC^^: no. what to remount? | 12:20 |
| EriC^^ | absklb: mount -o remount,rw / | 12:20 |

| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12885281/ | 12:21 |
| EriC^^ | absklb: cause it's mounted read only at first | 12:21 |
| absklb | ok | 12:21 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, I unplugged all USB devices before the lsusb | 12:21 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: 2.0 root hub | 12:22 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, yep | 12:22 |
| psychic_ | hey guys | 12:22 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, so are you saying ubuntu might think this device requires USB 3.0 to work, despite it working (according to google) on windows PCs and Ubuntu 9.04 or under? | 12:23 |
| BluesKaj | Hey folks | 12:23 |
| shelly_ | hello | 12:24 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, as far as I can tell from my research, support for this device broke at 9.10 | 12:24 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: i didnt conclude that no, i just looked at your logs and suggest you could try another usb port that might not have that bandwith warning | 12:26 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: have you tested your device on LTS? | 12:26 |
| alian | hello!play GTA5? | 12:26 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, ok. Thanks for elaborating. | 12:26 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, no I haven't. | 12:27 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: i strongly suggest you try | 12:27 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, is 14.04 LTS the currently available LTS? no 15.04 LTS? | 12:29 |
| lotuspsychje | !trusty | BlackDalek | 12:30 |
| ubottu | BlackDalek: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) was the 20th release of Ubuntu and is the latest !LTS version. Download at http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/ - CHECK FOR POINT RELEASES at http://releases.ubuntu.com - Release Info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes | 12:30 |
| auronandace | BlackDalek: LTS is every 2 years, 14.04 is the current one | 12:30 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, ok.. well in that case I DID try that release, and the sound device had same issue back then as I recall. | 12:31 |
| thecyclone | auronandace: how long does ubuntu support its LTS versions? | 12:31 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: back 'then' might be long time ago and perhaps not fully updated to 14.04.3 | 12:31 |
| auronandace | thecyclone: 5 years | 12:31 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, ah. I see. I will procure a live CD of 14.04.3 and boot from that. | 12:32 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: great and check your logs from there, anything related to your usb device | 12:33 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, I will have to do that another day. It's late here and I've wasted enough hours on this already. | 12:34 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: wasted or learned | 12:34 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, learned one or two things... don't feel like I've made much progress though :/ | 12:35 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: persistent investigation might lead you to solve | 12:35 |
| linocisco | useless ubuntu on my Dell Inspiron 3443 | 12:37 |
| lotuspsychje | linocisco: try a real question mate | 12:37 |
| linocisco | whenever I was typing the cursor is moving random at any destination and typed texts are wrong or gone | 12:37 |
| linocisco | lotuspsychje, i dont mean it is moving every second. It moves at any time at any destination like I am typing in IRC chat texbox - | 12:39 |
| linocisco | lotuspsychje, it happens in any text box | 12:39 |
| lotuspsychje | linocisco: ubuntu version? | 12:40 |
| linocisco | or anywhere I am typing. I didn't touch touchpad I swear. | 12:40 |
| linocisco | the cursor is still with me but the problem is pointer which goes anywhere randomly | 12:40 |
| linocisco | lotuspsychje, 15.04 | 12:40 |
| lotuspsychje | linocisco: tested this on LTS? | 12:41 |
| linocisco | lotuspsychje, I was with 14.04 LTS and some drivers are not ok with my laptop model. so upgraded to 15.04 and most are fine but the only major problems I am with is pointer problem and the other is nm-applet crash problem at startup | 12:42 |
| lotuspsychje | linocisco: wich drivers were bad on trusty? | 12:43 |
| linocisco | lotuspsychje, wifi , gui, i guess | 12:43 |
| lotuspsychje | linocisco: but you didnt have that pointer problem? | 12:44 |
| lotuspsychje | linocisco: what wifi chipset is that? | 12:44 |
| linocisco | lotuspsychje, GUI graphic is the worst problem so I can't check anything else | 12:44 |
| lotuspsychje | linocisco: i would go back to lts, but your choice you can add bugs to 15.04 or try 15.10 in 2 days | 12:45 |
| linocisco | lotuspsychje, the problem i can't install and remove as I like is that I have very limited internet and expensive to use. so I can't change frequently or download much frequently | 12:45 |
| linocisco | lotuspsychje, i dont know where to check like sys log | 12:45 |
| lotuspsychje | linocisco: /var/log/syslog and /var/log/dmesg | 12:46 |
| lotuspsychje | linocisco: or browse the GUI logviewer icon | 12:46 |
| linocisco | lotuspsychje, if i pastebin here, can you check? | 12:46 |
| lotuspsychje | linocisco: ill be bbl soon, but sure | 12:46 |
| lotuspsychje | linocisco: others might be able to look also | 12:47 |
| linocisco | lotuspsychje, ok thanks | 12:47 |
| linocisco | lotuspsychje, also some files in /var/crash | 12:47 |
| linocisco | lotuspsychje, what should I paste? | 12:47 |

| Pinkamena_D | I notice when I add an entry to /etc/hosts, the hostname will autocomplete for me in BASH. Can I add just the name but without the ip address (look up from dns) so I can get the completeion? | 13:18 |

| hans_ | i want to set my ipadress on static but how must i save a file in a server | 13:25 |

| Pinkamena_D | hans_, $ sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces Change eth0 entry to something like: https://bpaste.net/show/972504aa7165 | 13:32 |
| Pinkamena_D | Make sure you leave a terminal logged in or have a physical keyboard and monitor ready incase something messes up | 13:33 |

| roxlu | Hey! I'm trying to setup the following. I want to create a directory where all new files get the same group as the directory. I managed to get this working by setting the +s permission for the group. Though now I want that new files can also be delete by members of the group. I would think umask can used for this, but this doesn't seem to work. I tried using "umask 0000" but event that didn't give the group the correct permissions. | 15:00 |
| somsip | hhhh: if there's a git repo, you should be contacting the owner for advice | 15:01 |
| reisio | roxlu: you could use ACLs | 15:01 |
| roxlu | Can't I do this with umask ? | 15:02 |

| EriC^^ | yeah | 15:12 |
| OnceMe | ok good, Im stil backing up /home/ however Ill backup whole / syste, | 15:13 |
| OnceMe | except for /proc /dev and all that not needed stuff | 15:13 |
| EriC^^ | ok | 15:13 |
| OnceMe | but my home is pretty big, 200GB+ so it might take a while | 15:13 |
| OnceMe | while I wait, have you seen my system bootmgr etc? | 15:14 |
| EriC^^ | yeah | 15:14 |
| OnceMe | Is that all setted properly or I need to take attention on something while installing win8 and then ubuntu? | 15:14 |
| EriC^^ | it's ok, just install win8, make sure it boots properly first | 15:14 |
| EriC^^ | then install ubuntu | 15:14 |
| OnceMe | ok, and what about that uefi/efi thing? | 15:15 |
| OnceMe | is uefi started first? | 15:15 |
| OnceMe | and what about my gpu drivers? | 15:15 |
| EriC^^ | it'll sort itself out, you can check drivers after you install | 15:16 |
| EriC^^ | just make sure you boot win8 in uefi mode, and ubuntu too | 15:16 |
| OnceMe | ok so I should install ubuntu 14.04 trusty? | 15:16 |
| EriC^^ | yeah | 15:16 |

| EriC^^ | OnceMe: you can do that in the win8 partitioner | 15:21 |
| OnceMe | ok goood | 15:21 |
| OnceMe | and then to make efi partitions only right? | 15:21 |
| OnceMe | not uefi? | 15:22 |
| EriC^^ | OnceMe: win8 should create the esp or efi partition for you, and ubuntu should use the win8 one | 15:22 |
| EriC^^ | efi is uefi, same thing | 15:22 |
| OnceMe | ok good | 15:22 |
| OnceMe | ubuntu will use free space partition | 15:22 |
| OnceMe | which is not partitioned I guess | 15:22 |
| EriC^^ | yeah | 15:22 |
| OnceMe | so I dont partition it fully | 15:23 |
| OnceMe | I just make 1 ntfs and one will be auto system reserved | 15:23 |
| EriC^^ | yeah it's probably efi partition, maybe system something, and ntfs one, and leave the rest for ubuntu | 15:23 |
| EriC^^ | let it do it itself, and you can always shrink it later from win8 | 15:23 |
| OnceMe | ok | 15:24 |

| davidmichaelkarr | What is the difference between what "update-manager" shows, and what "apt-get update" shows? | 15:29 |
| Kitt3n | I installed ubuntu on a computer with a Nvidia geforce 210, the liveCD works fine, but when I rebooted after installing it, it flickers and then the monitor turns off | 15:31 |
| TJ- | mtottenh: you want partition 2 to be 4094MiB long? | 15:32 |
| mtottenh | 4096Mib long yes. | 15:33 |
| mtottenh | Oh I see. | 15:33 |
| mtottenh | Theres an error with my math there. | 15:33 |
| TJ- | mtottenh: use +2048M for a relative-from-start value | 15:34 |
| TJ- | mtottenh: but I doubt that is the cause of your issue; more likely the #1 end and #2 start being the same number. I'm not sure if sgdisk is intelligent enough to adjust those absolute values to be +1 sector for the start of #2 | 15:35 |
| mtottenh | I see. | 15:35 |
| TJ- | mtottenh: how about "-n 1:0M:2M -n 2+0:+4096M" | 15:37 |

| aleim | hello there, just as I erased a partition on a drive, the following happened to a second external drive that was connected and shown in disk utility: its volumes disappeared and changed to "no media", but the disk is still listed among devices..and the partitions are still mounted as I see in file manager (even tested with gparted, they are there)..is this incident known to anyone? | 15:38 |
| TJ- | plugyn: what is blocked? input or output or both? | 15:39 |
| plugyn | should be nothing blocked | 15:40 |
| plugyn | sudo ufw status >>> ufw allow 22; ufw allow 80 | 15:40 |

| BluesKaj | Kitt3n, at the blank screen drop to a VT/TTY by using ctl+alt+F1 -F6, login then, sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade , then sudo apt install nvidia-340 | 15:41 |
| Kitt3n | BluesKaj, I want nouveau :) | 15:41 |
| BluesKaj | Kitt3n, I have the same video gpu ...why nouveau? | 15:42 |
| plugyn | that didn't work :( | 15:42 |
| Kitt3n | BluesKaj, because I don't really need it, I only have it because the integrated GPU is fried | 15:42 |
| BluesKaj | you don't really need what? | 15:43 |
| Kitt3n | but okay, I'll try! | 15:43 |
| Kitt3n | the big clunky nvidia driver :D | 15:43 |
| mcphail | Kitt3n: you caould try forcing a resolution for nouveau | 15:43 |
| BluesKaj | it's not big and clunky. it's fast and stable | 15:43 |
| Kitt3n | erm... | 15:44 |
| Kitt3n | this is strange, switching to another tty showed the console login for a second, then I got the normal login screen o_O | 15:45 |
| Kitt3n | well okay | 15:45 |
| fennesz | hello everyone ! I am currently descibing a program tha copies files from a folder . It only copies the files with a specified prefix e.g. ABC2015.txt . I want to describe that the program shall have a configurable prefix for example one could define the program to copy files begining with BCD2014.txt. How can I describe this in proper English ? | 15:45 |
| BluesKaj | you have 6 available VTs aka ttys | 15:45 |
| BluesKaj | Kitt3n,^ | 15:45 |
| Kitt3n | BluesKaj, I know! I am not a newbie, but I've never touched nvidia on linux :) | 15:46 |
| Kitt3n | but it switched from the console login automatically to a graphical one without the driver | 15:46 |
| Kitt3n | and it's glitchy | 15:46 |
| mcphail | Kitt3n: last time I used nouveau on a 210 it was horrid | 15:47 |
| Kitt3n | Ah. | 15:47 |
| Kitt3n | well, installing nvidia-340 then! | 15:47 |
| BluesKaj | Kitt3n, think a reboot would have been in order | 15:47 |
| mcphail | Kitt3n: but there have been a lot of improvements in the driver since then | 15:47 |
| Kitt3n | I'll reboot when it's installed, and hope it works | 15:48 |
| PanV | daftykins: After some careful reading about the link you sent me, I googled it a bit then I found a How To Geek article. | 15:48 |
| BluesKaj | the 340 was always a decent driver on my pcs, but I'm a KDE/plasma guy so your experience may be different:-) | 15:49 |
| PanV | "You should also back up your mount passphrase ahead of time" What does it mean? Check the article I read this http://www.howtogeek.com/116297/how-to-recover-an-encrypted-home-directory-on-ubuntu/ | 15:49 |
| PanV | Also, how to get into a nautilus window? | 15:50 |
| TJ- | PanV: with encrypted home, when first created the tools prompt to record the master passphrase BEFORE something goes wrong | 15:51 |
| PanV | What is the "master passphrase"? Is it the thing that you do... like passwd command? | 15:51 |
| Kitt3n | BluesKaj, 4 yellow dots, is that normal? | 15:51 |
| mcphail | Kitt3n: you don't get a splash with the nvidia driver | 15:52 |
| HackerII | Kitt3n, what card do you have | 15:52 |
| Kitt3n | A super old geforce 210 :D | 15:52 |
| BluesKaj | mcphail, yes you do get a quick spalsh | 15:52 |
| Kitt3n | because the sandy bridge i3's gpu is fried and doesn't work so. :D | 15:53 |
| HackerII | from experience, maybe the 173 driver would work with that old of a card Kitt3n | 15:53 |
| mcphail | BluesKaj: yes, but not the Ubuntu splash screen | 15:53 |
| Kitt3n | 340 works fine | 15:53 |
| TJ- | PanV: when using encryption a master key ( pass-phrase ) is used to actually encrypt the data. That key is protected by being 'wrapped' with further encryption using the user's password as the wrapper key. If the user forgets/changes their password the master key cannot be unwrapped | 15:53 |
| TheEagerPadawan | looking through manpages to learn some more flags of the common used commands, i stumbled upon cp -a and it isn't clear from the man pages what this does | 15:53 |
| HackerII | ok ki, i was understanding you didnt like it, cool beans then | 15:54 |
| PanV | TJ-: Is this password the password that Ubuntu makes me enter everytime I get/login to my account or the password I use to login? If I do the master passphrase wrong, will anything go wrong? | 15:54 |
| BluesKaj | Kitt3n, what's the actual gpu series number | 15:55 |
| Kitt3n | BluesKaj, no clue! | 15:55 |
| TJ- | PanV: user password > unwraps master pass-phrase > unlocks encryped content | 15:55 |
| BluesKaj | Kitt3n, lspci | grep VGA | 15:55 |
| Kitt3n | sure! | 15:55 |

| compdoc | do you have permission to save the archive, wherever that location is? | 15:58 |
| PanV | TJ-: I remember user password. I am not sure about master one because I don't know what this is. | 15:58 |

| aleim | can anyone help please? strange things are happening with my external drives! | 15:58 |
| TJ- | PanV: I'm not sure what you're referring to. But if you've recently changed the user account password manually, the prompt is probably wanting the previous user account password | 15:59 |
| mwic | Anyone here pretty good with VSFTP? I got a server going but even though chroot_local_user=YES the user can still see directories outisde of her home .. | 15:59 |

| Nyterax | compdoc, I can create a non-password protected archive there without problems | 16:00 |
| Nyterax | so.. I guess? | 16:00 |
| compdoc | guess so | 16:00 |
| Nyterax | oh I can add a password afterwards | 16:00 |
| TJ- | Bastichou: Yes, or see "man lvreduce" and its "--resizefs" | 16:00 |
| Nyterax | or not... 'An error occurred while saving the archive' | 16:00 |
| PanV | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/3.png << When I get in my desktop, it asks for a second password. I enter it and I can click at my files or type. | 16:01 |
| PanV | TJ-: | 16:01 |
| compdoc | Nyterax, does it need an addtional compression or encryption library/program installed? | 16:02 |
| Nyterax | not sure. I could create a regular 7z archive out of the box | 16:02 |
| TJ- | PanV: what is that image supposed to show, besides the desktop? | 16:03 |
| PanV | It is supposed to ask for a password. But if you don't know anything about it it doesn't matter.. since I guess you know how to decrypt the /home/ derictory. | 16:04 |

| Kitt3n | BluesKaj, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2) | 16:09 |
| TJ- | PanV: encrypted home's aren't encrypted /home/, that would be LUKS-dm-crypt. ecryptfs encrypts /home/$USER/, but putting the encrypted files/filenames under /home/.ecrpytfs/$USER/.ecryptfs/ and the wrapped pass-phrase under /home/.ecryptfs/$USER/.Private/ | 16:09 |
| BluesKaj | Kitt3n, interesting the geforce 210 has been around for a while, my 8400gs uses the same chip and it's only 2yrs old, mind you it's an entry level card | 16:11 |
| TJ- | PanV: during log-in, pam_ecryptfs tries to unwrap the master pass-phrase stored in /home/.ecryptfs/$USER/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase using the user account's password | 16:11 |
| PanV | TJ-: Could you help me get started? It's not necessary but I am a noob at following tutorials rather than following directions... How many stuff did I burn/destroy by following tutorials? oh wait not so many, I just had to reinstall AMD graphics like 15 times. Because people kept saying I should use fglrx... | 16:11 |
| Kitt3n | BluesKaj, I found mine in a computer stone age computer at work that they were throwing on the trash heap. | 16:11 |
| PanV | TJ-: So.. how can I get started by decrypting the /$HOME folder? | 16:12 |
| BluesKaj | Kitt3n, well it's worth every penny then :-) | 16:12 |
| Kitt3n | BluesKaj, yep, especially when the integrated gpu doesn't work :)... | 16:13 |

| PanV | TJ-: No. | 16:14 |
| PanV | Complicated answer: Why would I do that? | 16:14 |
| BluesKaj | Kitt3n, the integrated gpu is an intel right, it's surprising that it's fried , they're usually quite reliable | 16:14 |
| PanV | BluesKaj: Intel graphics can get fried? Interesting.. | 16:14 |
| TJ- | PanV: Because changing the password is one way that can cause the ecryptfs unlock to fail, until the ecryptfs wrapped-passphrase is synchronised with the new password. | 16:15 |
| PanV | BluesKaj: Any hardware can get fried but not 'burned'? Perhaps some stuff at translation.. | 16:15 |
| Kitt3n | PanV, yep, if I connect a VGA cable to the onboard port, there's simply no signal | 16:15 |
| PanV | TJ-: Kitt3n Installed another graphics card? | 16:15 |
| Kitt3n | Yep. :) geforce 210 :) | 16:15 |
| PanV | Kitt3n: For me the intel graphics dont work since I got an other graphics card, with a different input | 16:16 |

| elijahr | i'm trying to reference two parent directories back with a parameter... something like $convertfile thisfile.ext %d.newfile where %d would give me the parent directory of the current working directory | 16:32 |
| stobix | A question: If I could temporarily uninstall and reinstall udev, it would probably solve my dependency hell. Problem is that uninstalling udev means uninstalling everything that depends on udev. Is there a way to circumvent this? | 16:32 |
| OerHeks | Leonitus, new releases can fix things that cannot be fixed now :-) | 16:32 |
| OerHeks | stobix, why not skip the uninstall step, and reinstall right away ? | 16:33 |
| elijahr | if I use %d, it just gives me the current working directory, not the parent directory. btw this is for the nautilus-actions configuration tool | 16:33 |
| stobix | OerHeks: Sounds nice. How? | 16:33 |
| stobix | OerHeks: the problem I have is (probably) that the postinstall script exits with an unknown error. Someone suggested that I remove the package, purge any remaining files and reinstall it. | 16:34 |
| OerHeks | stobix, sudo apt-get install --reinstall udev | 16:34 |
| stobix | Ah. | 16:35 |
| OerHeks | not sure why you think reinstall fix your issue | 16:35 |
| stobix | Well, wouldn't hurt to try. :) | 16:35 |
| PanV | TJ-: are you able to help? | 16:35 |
| elijahr | I can't find a list or explanation on how to use the % parameters anywhere | 16:36 |
| elijahr | the legend shows me the symbol for (first) base directory, but I guess I am looking for the second base directory | 16:36 |
| stobix | OerHeks: I assume the people suggesting that I reinstall it thought it would fix whatever script that is broken. | 16:38 |
| stobix | OerHeks: That does not seem to be the case, however. | 16:38 |

| stobix | (dpkg --configure udev, that is) | 16:40 |
| === Guest3195 is now known as Starn | ||
| OerHeks | stobix, what exactly is going wrong with 'scripts' ?? can you post that error on use paste.ubuntu.com | 16:41 |
| OerHeks | "assumption" about "the people" about "whatever script " is not informative at all. | 16:41 |
| stobix | OerHeks: sure, which output do you want? dpkg --configure udev ? | 16:42 |
| Starn | i am not sure what happened to my ubuntu install but the software center doesn't work anymore. i can't get it to load or install packages even from the web where the packages are not in the apt-get listings. i accidentally stopped aptd and the software center finally loaded up. but after start aptd the ubunutu software center will freeze. does anyone have any idea as to what's going on? | 16:42 |
| OerHeks | stobix, no, about the failing scripts, the original issue you came up with | 16:42 |
| Starn | also aptd uses 20 to 50% cpu at all times when it's running. | 16:43 |
| Starn | which it's always running in the background | 16:44 |
| stobix | OerHeks: Hm. The thing that caused this to begin with is that I tried to upgrade to 14.10, which failed because the gui method (update-manager) it couldn't find any sources. I then did a do-release-upgrade instead, which directly went for vivid. I didn't make the connection between "vivid" and "15.04" until it was a bit too late. | 16:44 |
| stobix | So, basically, do-release-upgrade tried to upgrade from 14.04 to 15.04 directly, and I'm now trying to fix the resulting dependency hell. | 16:45 |
| OerHeks | stobix, oh, that can be fixed, 14.10 ie EOL, so you need the old-releases trick, see ubottu | 16:45 |

| ActionParsnip | ? | 16:47 |
| stobix | OerHeks: right now, my system thinks it's vivid, but it fails to configure or install anything because of dependencies not yet being configured. My hypothesis is that I need to find the "bottom most" package (if such a package exists) and cofigure it. | 16:47 |
| jpds | intrader: It's not packaged at all on Ubuntu | 16:48 |
| * stobix reads the link | 16:48 | |

| daftykins | ijar: the one i said. | 18:20 |
| jpds | OnceMe: And you probably want -aPv | 18:20 |
| ijar | there is no solution there. | 18:20 |
| ijar | two pages of explanation | 18:20 |
| Eyo | can someone help me with correcting dependencies? https://bpaste.net/raw/6a7cce13c5ca the root of the problem is this https://bpaste.net/raw/e2f7ca0d385b | 18:20 |
| ijar | I show a solution page and dont get any comment | 18:20 |
| ijar | why? | 18:20 |
| Eyo | they both want different packages | 18:20 |
| ijar | why is it always like this? | 18:20 |
| ijar | lately | 18:20 |
| ijar | here | 18:21 |
| ijar | no help | 18:21 |
| Eyo | I wanted to just remove gcc/build-essential and reinstall but now it won't let me | 18:21 |
| ijar | just "do as you are told" | 18:21 |
| ijar | what is that? | 18:21 |
| jpds | ijar: That page looks pretty good ot me | 18:21 |
| ijar | to me not. | 18:21 |
| OerHeks | ijar, go for it, if it crashes, you can always try OUR page :-D | 18:21 |
| ijar | because I am new with this | 18:21 |
| OerHeks | !attitude | 18:21 |
| ubottu | The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 18:21 |
| megi | hello!! guys | 18:21 |
| daftykins | ijar: it says run boot repair, so please do it. | 18:21 |
| OerHeks | daftykins +1 | 18:22 |
| ijar | and dont see why we have to talk over this link or that link when I already show a solution and ask for advice if I should use it | 18:22 |
| ijar | oh yes..attitude. | 18:22 |
| daftykins | ijar: because the resources provided to you are ALREADY checked, i'm not going to extra effort to check yours just because you can't follow ours. | 18:22 |
| OerHeks | ijar, again: maybe, not tested that version. | 18:22 |
| ijar | oh yours, ours.. | 18:22 |
| ijar | it already shows the thinking | 18:23 |
| ijar | there used to be positive helping people here | 18:23 |
| daftykins | what, that community edited guides *just might* be ok? :) | 18:23 |
| megi | I'ld like to ask you something about my system. Swap partition especially. I've had swap partition upon installing the system but I wanted to change it after a while. | 18:23 |
| daftykins | ijar: there are still, just for some reason you are an awkward user who refuses to follow provided advice. | 18:23 |
| jpds | ijar: Why don't you try boot-repair and see what happens rather than complain on here? | 18:24 |
| kazuma_ | ijar noone wants to help you if you sound like your complaining either and saying noone is postive | 18:24 |
| ijar | you awkwardly abstain from taking that one step | 18:24 |
| daftykins | ijar: i think you'll find that's you :) | 18:24 |
| kazuma_ | you're | 18:24 |
| Starn | TJ-, yeah sorry i can do that. i was temp away.. running the command now. | 18:24 |
| ijar | yes, I had no intention to spend minutes here like this | 18:24 |
| TJ- | ijar: if you deleted the 'ubuntu' partition (file-system) then there will be no GRUB root file-system available - so it cannot load its modules nor grub.cfg. In other words, you'll have deleted 3/4 or GRUBs essential files | 18:25 |
| jpds | ijar: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows#Using_the_Ubuntu_CD_.28Recommended.29 | 18:25 |
| megi | My system used to use the SWAP very often but now it doesn't use it... the swappines value is 60 I have had 1,9 GB ram used out of 2,9 GB, but still swap partition is 0. If I log in as Guest user It uses it as it has to. | 18:25 |
| jpds | ijar: Literally four steps with a GUI app | 18:25 |
| ijar | jpds, I havent installed windows. I have nothing to do with windows | 18:26 |
| jpds | ijar: Same principal applies for restoring GRUB | 18:26 |
| daftykins | _nobody_ is talking about Windows, the advice simply applies the same | 18:26 |
| megi | I've created another user just to check if there is diffenrence but not... | 18:26 |
| OnceMe | jpds:ok so how to exclude /proc /dev and all that stuff I dont need for a backup | 18:26 |
| megi | Is it because i have separated /home volume? | 18:26 |
| OnceMe | since its volatile | 18:26 |
| TJ- | jpds: that's not the same issue. In that issue, there'd be no grub rescue (the first 1/4 of GRUB). ijar has blown away the GRUB root file-system | 18:27 |
| ijar | seriously... | 18:27 |
| OerHeks | OnceMe, why would you backup those messed-up systemfolders? | 18:27 |
| OnceMe | OerHeks:well I dont | 18:27 |
| OnceMe | I am finding a way to rsync it without those weird sysdirs | 18:27 |
| flappynerd | megi, a separate /home partition shouldn't likely affect much of anything | 18:28 |
| jpds | ijar: Yes, seriously, it's exactly the same steps, windows or no windows | 18:28 |
| bekks | OnceMe: "man rsync", find "--exclude". | 18:28 |
| megi | Hello? Something about my swap. I really don't want to reinstall the whole system just to use SWAP partition | 18:28 |
| OnceMe | I dont know what all sys folders I dont need | 18:28 |
| OnceMe | exclude is not the way to go | 18:28 |
| bekks | OnceMe: Then backup everything you need. | 18:28 |
| bekks | OnceMe: Exclude actually IS the way to go. | 18:28 |
| TJ- | ijar: in your link, did you follow the steps in the 1st answer, to find the file-system containing GRUB's files? | 18:28 |
| daftykins | megi: are you saying you don't have one right now but want to add one? | 18:28 |
| reisio | megi: something? | 18:29 |
| ijar | I was ready to go with the solution the link of which I posted. apart from the problem, it is amazing I didnt get any single confirmation if it is ok to do so. | 18:29 |
| megi | no I've deleted my first swap partition | 18:29 |
| jpds | ijar: 18:21:30 < jpds> ijar: That page looks pretty good ot me | 18:29 |
| OerHeks | ijar, you did get one, but i leave you to it, goodluck. | 18:29 |
| reisio | megi: and? | 18:29 |
| daftykins | ijar: also amazing how stubborn you are :) | 18:29 |
| megi | recreated it with the same UUID value and now my system mounts it but not using it by my user | 18:29 |
| TJ- | ijar: If you deleted the Ubuntu partition, that is usually also the GRUB root file-system, so there will be no fix. You'll have to reinstall the entire OS | 18:29 |
| megi | only GUEST user uses it. why is that? | 18:30 |
| jpds | megi: You could always use a swap file instead of a partition | 18:30 |
| reisio | megi: sudo mkswap /dev/foo, sudo swapon /dev/foo | 18:30 |
| daftykins | megi: can you show the output of "free -m" in a paste at http://paste.ubuntu.com ? | 18:30 |
| EriC^^ | OnceMe: if you've mounted it under /mnt then just copy it and use the --exclude "home" command as bekks said to remove your home dir | 18:30 |
| reisio | megi: swap isn't something that is mounted at all | 18:30 |
| jpds | megi: I don't think the guest session is saved to disk | 18:30 |
| OerHeks | megi, a browser uses t in guest session, as it cannot write to its home, there is no guest home | 18:30 |
| EriC^^ | OnceMe: the sys dirs are all empty if it's mounted from the live session, they only get populated when you boot | 18:30 |
| reisio | if by 'use' you mean "gets it mounted", that's irrelevant | 18:30 |
| megi | I don't want to use swap file as my hdd is really messed up with bad sectors | 18:31 |
| OerHeks | megi, a browser uses swap in guest session, as it cannot write to its home, there is no guest home | 18:31 |
| megi | I've just managed to find good sectors 'for now' and don't want to force rewrite in my / dir | 18:31 |
| daftykins | megi: you shouldn't even be using that computer then, you should backup your data and buy a new one. | 18:31 |
| daftykins | even a single bad sector is unacceptable. | 18:32 |
| megi | nope guest account uses /tmp directory | 18:32 |
| megi | to write on, my user had /home instead | 18:32 |
| OnceMe | ok doing whole sys backup except for home dir,I already got that | 18:32 |
| OnceMe | after that I will start win8 installation :) | 18:32 |
| ijar | jpds, ok, as can be seen from my reply to it, I thought you referred to the u-boot link | 18:32 |
| bekks | OnceMe: Do you have a backup of your home already? | 18:33 |
| daftykins | megi: no, you need to keep installing updates to stay safe online, so you have to replace that drive - there is no choice here, it is fact. | 18:33 |
| ijar | ehm, sorry, ubottu... | 18:33 |
| megi | I know about that bad sectors it's just for a while until I buy a knew hdd | 18:33 |
| megi | new* | 18:33 |
| daftykins | 'a while' is how long? | 18:33 |
| daftykins | you should have ordered one already :) | 18:33 |
| EriC^^ | OnceMe: all the partitions right? cause i remember you had a bunch | 18:33 |
| megi | month or two, not sure yet | 18:33 |
| OnceMe | well yes | 18:33 |
| daftykins | megi: anyway swap will always be on disk so there's no way to help you | 18:33 |
| OnceMe | Im going to remove them all | 18:33 |
| OnceMe | and start fresh | 18:33 |
| megi | although it's not my laptop, depends on my friends willing to buy new hdd | 18:34 |
| EriC^^ | OnceMe: i mean did you mount them all and back it all up? | 18:34 |
| jpds | megi: Get an SSD | 18:34 |
| EriC^^ | OnceMe: cause you had like 3 or 4 of them | 18:34 |
| megi | it's too old laptop doesn't deserve ssd :D | 18:34 |
| reisio | megi: so you don't have a problem? | 18:35 |
| reisio | oh good :p | 18:35 |
| OnceMe | EriC^^:I dont need backup from windows partitions | 18:35 |
| OnceMe | I had nothing on them :) | 18:35 |
| bekks | OnceMe: Do you have a backup of your home already? | 18:35 |
| EriC^^ | OnceMe: i mean the linux ones were like 3 or 4 | 18:35 |
| EriC^^ | OnceMe: can you type cat /mnt/etc/fstab | nc termbin.com 9999 ? | 18:35 |
| EriC^^ | it'll show what gets mounted where | 18:35 |
| Starn | TJ-, i'm running into a lot of issues trying to paste this into pastebin. | 18:36 |
| megi | I've just wanted to know how to recreate swap partition in order to use it by my user, as it was after I installed the system | 18:36 |
| OnceMe | I manually edited fstabs and they are broken :D | 18:37 |
| bekks | megi: swap is always used by the system, not by a user. | 18:37 |
| megi | but tnx anyway, I'll reinstall... | 18:37 |
| OnceMe | but those partitions others were for swap\ | 18:37 |
| OnceMe | boot home and linux itself | 18:37 |
| EriC^^ | oh | 18:37 |
| TJ- | Starn: file too big? | 18:37 |
| megi | ok so how I can manage the system to use it when I use many programs | 18:37 |
| TJ- | Starn: generally, "pastebinit /tmp/sc.log" should do it | 18:37 |
| daftykins | megi: you can't, it's damaged, i wouldn't be using it at all. | 18:37 |
| bekks | megi: mkswap /dev/foo; swap -a /dev/foo | 18:37 |
| megi | with swappiness 60 and 2 gb ram full out of 3 gb should the swap be used right? | 18:38 |
| bekks | megi: But since your disk is damaged, I second daftykins | 18:38 |
| Starn | TJ-, that might work better than me trying to use a webbrowser 'cause it's so large my computer is literally slowing down | 18:38 |
| EriC^^ | OnceMe: you had a 4gb boot? | 18:38 |
| reisio | megi: wha? | 18:38 |
| reisio | megi: swap is mostly used when you run out of ram, or if you're suspending | 18:39 |
| megi | reisio: I've had 2 gb out of 3 GB ram used and swap - none | 18:39 |
| megi | but it's mapped | 18:39 |
| OnceMe | EriC^^:yap :D | 18:40 |
| daftykins | megi: as i asked, "free -m" in a pastebin would be handy right now. | 18:40 |
| reisio | megi: like I said | 18:40 |
| megi | although hibernation not working | 18:40 |
| reisio | separate issue | 18:40 |
| megi | upon the same reason- there is no processes running by my user transferred to swap space | 18:40 |
| reisio | megi: so what | 18:41 |
| reisio | are you trying to find a problem you don't have? :p | 18:41 |
| megi | free -m says 2000000 b and 0 b used | 18:41 |
| daftykins | megi: can you run the above command? | 18:41 |
| megi | i can assure you about that | 18:41 |
| daftykins | megi: put the whole thing in a pastebin at http://paste.ubuntu.com | 18:41 |
| Starn | TJ-, this might take a bit with my slow upload rate and considering the file is 288mb i'm assuming that's would technically need to be uploaded? the pastebinit /tmp/sc.log command is running right now | 18:41 |
| megi | ok.. I'll paste it | 18:41 |
| TJ- | Starn: Ouch! stop it then, that'll fail anyhow with 'too big' lets compress it :) | 18:42 |
| megi | I may not have problems now but what about running out of ram - I can't deal with 3 gb ram using video editing and office programs... | 18:42 |
| Starn | TJ-, yeah quad core 6gb ram can barely open it in pluma or gedit btw. | 18:42 |
| daftykins | megi: i still want to see the output of that command first-hand, do you refuse to share it? is there some problem? | 18:43 |
| reisio | megi: what makes you think you're running out of ram | 18:43 |
| TJ- | Starn: "pushd /tmp; gzip sc.log; ls -l sc.log.*" you should now have a "sc.log.gz" which is much smaller, and can be uploaded to a file-sharing web-site (unfortunately Ubuntu doesn't have one!) | 18:43 |
| ijar | daftykins, OerHeks, "stubbornness" explained: with the link I posted, for which I only needed to hear "yes, you can use it in your case", I solved the problem in a quarter of the time I tried to get an answer. | 18:43 |
| daftykins | ijar: well you should've followed the one given, so you can take your smug attitude and reassess your approach to taking free help in future. | 18:44 |
| Starn | TJ-, i have google drive will that work for you? | 18:44 |
| TJ- | ijar: if you fixed the issue you cannot have deleted the Ubuntu partition/file-system | 18:45 |
| TJ- | Starn: sure will.... although I have to break for dinner right now so might be a little while to get back to it | 18:45 |
| ijar | you seriously have problem in your mind | 18:45 |
| megi | http://paste.ubuntu.com/12887609/ | 18:45 |
| ijar | TJ- yes, one partition was deleted | 18:46 |
| daftykins | ok, so 11GB swap | 18:46 |
| megi | yeah it's too much but it eneded like empty space so I decided to use it | 18:46 |
| reisio | excess of swap | 18:46 |
| Starn | TJ-, that's fine i got some things to do other than mess with computer anyways haha gotta clean up and eat my self XD | 18:47 |
| geomyidae_ | oh upstart, I love you so, even though my network is up, none of the services with "network" in the name are stopped | 18:47 |
| daftykins | but as soon as your disk gets used, it's going to start reading and writing in areas that might cause more bad sectors, then you'll start losing data (potentially) and bad things will happen | 18:47 |
| geomyidae_ | which means the upstart guide telling you to use "stopped networking" as a trigger is useless | 18:47 |
| megi | it's not a problem the swap size but the utilizing of it | 18:47 |
| daftykins | megi: it shouldn't be used until the RAM is full - and that's what's happening :) | 18:47 |
| megi | as you see 815 free ram and 0 used swap. why is that? | 18:47 |
| ijar | I tell the guy I solved the problem in a minute with the solution that he avoided confirming which he could do with a single glance. and he still says "you should have.."..gosh..no use here | 18:47 |
| Starn | TJ-, https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B63NgyYRildrZ1VxV2VFalloNHM/view?usp=sharing i believe that link will work | 18:47 |
| daftykins | !linuxatemyram | 18:47 |
| daftykins | damn. | 18:47 |
| megi | not sure about that - that's what swappines if for! | 18:48 |
| daftykins | !ram | megi here | 18:48 |
| ubottu | megi here: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | 18:48 |
| daftykins | megi: well your situation isn't really worthy of much consideration since your disk is failing anyway, so i don't really know what you're looking for today | 18:48 |
| ijar | daftykins, don't PM me writing adjectives, rude man! if you're ashamed of using them in public, don't PM people, either! | 18:48 |
| megi | well I can use your resolving of that problem on my personal laptop as well | 18:49 |
| reisio | megi: swap isn't used until you need it | 18:49 |
| megi | I've did the same there and the same *** | 18:49 |
| reisio | megi: what's the problem | 18:49 |
| megi | ok I'll fill my ram and i'm pretty sure no swap will be used after all | 18:50 |
| TJ- | Starn: I have the file; I'll look when I return from dinner | 18:50 |
| reisio | mmhmmm | 18:50 |
| reisio | TJ-: what's for supper? | 18:50 |
| megi | I'ld like to be certain that my system is not going to hang when I use video editing software or emulate some windows program or something else that requires a lot of RAM | 18:50 |
| reisio | better to wait for a problem to exist before fixing it | 18:51 |
| megi | yeah ram-to-swap might be slow but still it's a solution for now | 18:51 |
| Starn | TJ-, alright if the link gave ya my gplus info you're more than welcomed to message me when you're back otherwise hopefully i don't lose your message on here. | 18:51 |
| daftykins | not with a faulty disk it isn't :) | 18:51 |
| megi | there's gonna be reinstall it seems... | 18:52 |
| daftykins | megi: how about sharing your disk SMART info to see how bad it is right now? install: pastebinit smartmontools, then run: sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit | 18:53 |
| megi | I'm trying to tell you that ubuntu has problem with recreating swap partitions as not using them but you are not listening. Why there is an option for virtual memory as you cannot use it.. don't understant that | 18:53 |
| daftykins | we are listening, there's just no point resolving that even if it is as you say, whilst the disk is faulty. | 18:53 |
| reisio | moreover, you haven't proved it | 18:53 |
| megi | it's that bad so I've had to leave first 50GB sectors and the last 50GB of disk geometry to use that 500GB sata disk | 18:54 |
| daftykins | lol | 18:54 |
| daftykins | that's horrific | 18:54 |
| megi | it's gonna be long time to wait for smartctl to finish | 18:54 |
| reisio | the time you've spent on it already is probably worth a 500gb replacement drive | 18:54 |
| daftykins | it just reads info so it won't take long at all | 18:54 |
| daftykins | megi: it's instant, just an information command | 18:55 |
| reisio | smartctl is pointless | 18:55 |
| daftykins | well i wanna see how bad it is :P | 18:55 |
| reisio | best case, it tells you what you already know | 18:55 |
| megi | :D well it's not my laptop, I'ld have bought one hdd already | 18:55 |
| daftykins | why are you even using someone elses? | 18:55 |
| reisio | so wasting time for someone else is good? :p | 18:55 |
| daftykins | reisio: are they not doing the same to us? ;) | 18:55 |
| ubuntuUser | hi all | 18:56 |
| reisio | nope | 18:57 |
| reisio | teaching someone how to not waste time is not a waste of time | 18:57 |
| reisio | at least not compared to most things | 18:57 |
| reisio | ubuntuUser: hi | 18:57 |
| megi | http://paste.ubuntu.com/12887703/ here is the output | 18:58 |
| megi | ahahh i'm not using it but configuring it | 18:58 |
| lepel101 | Hi, I am trying (an failing, so far) to use xpra with ubuntu on the server side and windows on the client side | 18:59 |
| reisio | lepel101: bummer | 19:00 |
| lepel101 | After succesfully starting xpra on the ubuntu server (xpra reports it enters into daemon mode) I get the following error after attempting to connect to it: "server requested disconnect: server error accepting new connection" | 19:00 |
| ubuntuUser | please someone know how to edit resources on Windows' exe files with an ubuntu command line (or eventualy a lib in python or other) ? | 19:00 |
| bekks | ubuntuUser: Whats the actual issue behind that? | 19:00 |
| megi | so what do you think about that WD hdd :D | 19:00 |
| reisio | ubuntuUser: to do what | 19:01 |
| lepel101 | the (I think most relevant) line in the error log on the server states "failed to parse screen size information: too many values to unpack" | 19:01 |
| ubuntuUser | put my openvpn config on my exe client | 19:01 |
| daftykins | megi: 124 pending sectors, mmm ouch | 19:01 |
| bekks | ubuntuUser: Thats not going to work. | 19:01 |
| ubuntuUser | the client works | 19:02 |
| bekks | ubuntuUser: you need to modify the source code of that binary for reading the config from the resources section properky. | 19:02 |
| megi | :D toshiba will be it | 19:02 |
| megi | the new hdd :D | 19:02 |
| catbug | hey guys, i just got a logitech g430 headset | 19:02 |
| daftykins | megi: i wouldn't | 19:02 |
| catbug | is there a way i can get it to work with trusty | 19:02 |
| lepel101 | the full error on the server since attempting to connect -> http://pastebin.com/ttK5V56d | 19:02 |
| ubuntuUser | no I wrote a litle gui in python that manage openvpn | 19:02 |
| daftykins | but whatever you want ;) | 19:02 |
| akik | ubuntuUser: have you tried unzipping the openvpn client exe? | 19:02 |
| catbug | via usb | 19:02 |
| ubuntuUser | I've create an exe with py2exe | 19:03 |
| megi | in most cases (in my hands especially) hitachi and seagate lasts longer | 19:03 |
| megi | as hitachi is cheaper... :D | 19:03 |
| lepel101 | I searched for the error, and only 1 hit on google even remotely resembles something relevant -> https://www.xpra.org/trac/ticket/757 | 19:03 |
| akik | ubuntuUser: the openvpn server on pfsense creates a openvpn client package exe which is actually a zip file | 19:05 |
| ubuntuUser | and I've create an installer that install openvpn, put config and add my gui but now I want to edit the exe with my webserver the config file inside the exe | 19:06 |
| Starn | so empathy has sms? i'm confused on this now. like how does it work? how do ya use it? can it work with the google hangouts protocol? i just now found this function in empathy and i want to know if it's even usable. | 19:06 |
| daftykins | ubuntuUser: that is not an Ubuntu task, since an .exe is Windows | 19:06 |
| lepel101 | would appreciate any help or suggestions :) (btw, I can connect to the server and run x programs using ssh -X and xming) | 19:06 |
| ubuntuUser | but I want to make this with my ubuntu server | 19:06 |
| lepel101 | (also would appreciate if someone forwards me to a more appropriate channel for my problem, if there is any) | 19:07 |

| lepel101 | to give some context, I have a fairly unstable internet connection, and with ssh -X, everytime I get disconnected I lose all my work | 19:11 |
| bekks | lepel101: I suggest using nxclient/nxserver then. | 19:13 |
| lepel101 | the program still runs on the server, but the screen is lost at the client side | 19:13 |
| Dyzem | Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 and I have a problem with my WiFi dropping after about 15 - 20 mins of Ubuntu starting up and only reboot reconnects. The icon states that I'm still connected but no webpages will load. I've tried a number of terminal commands from old forum posts but not getting anywhere. | 19:13 |
| lepel101 | searching for a solution for that, I found out that you can reconnect/reattach to existing x sessions using xpra... if someone has alternatives I am happy to change to something else | 19:13 |
| bekks | lepel101: Just told you about an alternative. | 19:13 |
| lepel101 | thanks for the suggestion bekks, I'll check it out right away | 19:14 |
| akik | lepel101: another one is x2go | 19:14 |
| lepel101 | yes sorry, I type too slow in my old age :-) | 19:14 |
| lepel101 | thanks akik, will check that out as well | 19:14 |
| akik | lepel101: x2go and nxclient don't connect to existing x sessions though | 19:15 |
| lepel101 | hmm, so for my use case, after a network error, I would lose my work just the same with those alternatives? | 19:16 |
| akik | lepel101: no. i meant that if you're running a x session on the remote server at first, x2go and nxclient can not connect to it | 19:17 |
| akik | lepel101: but they create a session which can be suspended and resumed later | 19:17 |
| OnceMe | ok EriC^^now im ready to install win 8 | 19:17 |
| lepel101 | ok, that sounds fine then, thanks :) | 19:17 |
| OnceMe | in bios I see my usb at first for boot sequence and then I see ubuntu with no UEFI icon on it and then I see my real HDD with UEFI on it | 19:18 |
| akik | lepel101: it's like a graphical screen session if you know gnu screen? | 19:18 |
| JimmyNeutron | Dyzem, does wired work? | 19:18 |
| OnceMe | is that the good boot sequence? Or I should move my real disk with UEFI on it before ubuntu which has nothing | 19:18 |
| OnceMe | EriC^^ ? | 19:19 |
| EriC^^ | OnceMe: no, that's fine | 19:19 |
| OnceMe | ok | 19:19 |
| Dyzem | JimmyNeutron, yes I'm running from wired right now. Absolutely no problems with wired. | 19:19 |
| lepel101 | haven't used gnu screen, only used regular ssh -X with java programs (probably vnc is used under the hood) | 19:19 |
| lepel101 | do you have a personally preference for x2go or nclient, akik, bekks? | 19:20 |
| akik | lepel101: with gnu screen you can leave programs running on the remote server and detach your terminal, then resume those prorgrams at a later time | 19:21 |
| akik | lepel101: the programs keep on running the whole time | 19:21 |
| OnceMe | uhm EriC^^I get No device drivers were found. | 19:21 |
| JimmyNeutron | Dyzem, I find that most of my problems related to wireless are due to some compatibility issues on the driver not supported certain features. Going to 802.11g on my wireless router vs 802.11b/g seems to help keep a stable connection | 19:21 |
| OnceMe | I think I need to put UEFI hdd before ubuntu which is not UEFI..? | 19:21 |
| lepel101 | ok, that sounds like another alternative then :) what happens if you don't gracefully detach (i.e. due to a network error)? can you still resume then? | 19:22 |
| akik | lepel101: yes | 19:22 |
| akik | lepel101: but gnu screen is only for text based terminal programs | 19:22 |
| JimmyNeutron | Dyzem, and even my 802.11n wireless, broadcom chipset, cant connect to my 802.11n wireless router...but downgrading it to 802.11g works fine and stable | 19:23 |
| Dyzem | JimmyNeutron, Ah right. Mines is just on auto right now. I don't seem to have the option of purely 802.11g though. Only 802.11b or 54g AUTO/LRS/Performance. | 19:23 |
| lepel101 | aha, ok, looking into x2go and nxclient/nxserver then (do you have a between thosepreference?) | 19:24 |
| JimmyNeutron | Dyzem, Try newer drivers or beta drivers for your wireless chipset | 19:24 |
| OnceMe | now ubuntu disk in bios become UEFI | 19:24 |
| OnceMe | however I cant see my usb :( | 19:24 |
| akik | lepel101: nxserver/nxclient is a product of nomachine corp. there's a free version called freenx but it's probably not developed anymore. x2go is still being developed | 19:25 |
| OnceMe | EriC^^:? | 19:26 |
| lepel101 | alright, I'll give x2go a try first then, thanks a lot for the help! really appreciate it, this really could save me countless hours | 19:26 |
| OnceMe | I see two kingstons now | 19:26 |
| OnceMe | one is UEFI and one is not | 19:26 |
| OnceMe | should I pick UEFI one? | 19:26 |
| OnceMe | EriC^^:? | 19:27 |

| dmor | I'm using Foreman to install Ubuntu 14.04. Foreman itself installed on 14.04.1, but when I install the machines via Foreman, they being installed as 14.04.3 (using my country local mirror). Is it possible to install specific minor version? I've tried to understand the mirrors links, without success. Your support will be really apprecaited. | 19:50 |
| bekks | dmor: Everything older than 14.04.3 is outdated for 14.04 | 19:51 |
| daftykins | dmor: why do you prefer 14.04.1 ? you need to remain up to date | 19:51 |
| bekks | dmor: So basically you want to install 14.04.3 | 19:51 |
| bekks | AND you want to update your 14.04.1 server :) | 19:51 |
| dmor | It's for a client of mine. He has a product which based on 14.04.1. | 19:51 |
| dmor | Is it technically possible? | 19:51 |
| bekks | dmor: Only if you run your own 14.04.1 repo | 19:52 |
| dmor | How's the mirrors works in Ubuntu LTS? does each minor version has it own URL? | 19:52 |
| OerHeks | dmor, if you compile it yourself, yes. | 19:52 |
| bekks | dmor: minor versions arent in the repos anymore. | 19:52 |
| dmor | bekks: how can I do it? using apt-repo? I don't anything to sync except maybe the 14.04.1 iso itself, right? | 19:52 |
| bekks | dmor: wrong. | 19:53 |
| dmor | I'll be happy to learn. | 19:53 |
| bekks | dmor: the repos contain far more software than whats on the iso. | 19:53 |
| dmor | How can I sync the repo of 14.04.1? | 19:53 |
| OerHeks | dmor, you wast your time finding out, and such request is not supported. | 19:53 |
| bekks | dmor: There is no repo for 14.04.1 anymore. | 19:53 |
| dmor | Thanks for the answer. | 19:53 |
| dmor | I've tried. | 19:54 |
| daftykins | dmor: does it specifically need the older kernel of 14.04.1, or is it deeper than that? | 19:54 |
| daftykins | dmor: bearing in mind 14.04.3 tends to install with 3.19 kernel and 14.04.1 uses 3.13 | 19:54 |
| dmor | I really appreciate your help. | 19:54 |
| dmor | Yeah. I'll explain that to my client. thanks. is there a way to use 14.04.3 with the 14.04.1 kernel? | 19:54 |
| daftykins | yes, not sure about your setup but you can install from 14.04 / 14.04.1 media then dist-upgrade | 19:55 |
| MonkeyDust | dmor explain to your client that 14.04.1 is outdated | 19:55 |
| dmor | Thanks a lot. | 19:55 |
| dmor | Got it | 19:55 |
| dmor | I really appreciate your help. | 19:55 |
| dmor | All the best for now! | 19:55 |
| Bashing-om | dmor: My input. If you install 14.04.1 you can remain on the 3.13 serieis kernels . | 19:56 |

| jog1 | http://termbin.com/impr | 20:55 |
| daftykins | jog1: at this point i would recommend running memtest | 20:57 |
| jog1 | should I switch the nvidia driver to 340 from 340-updates? | 20:57 |
| jog1 | daftykins, the memory is fine | 20:57 |
| TJ- | jog1: fix the nvidia driver mismatch, and also it might help to fix the missing TV capture card firmware | 20:57 |
| jog1 | i thought i had disabled the tv capture card | 20:57 |
| jog1 | TJ-, recommend cli commands? | 20:57 |
| TJ- | jog1: the nvidia API mismatch could cause issues since the browsers will be trying to accelerate some operations via WebGL/OpenGL which the nvidia driver provides. | 20:58 |
| jog1 | TJ-, that's likely the issue | 20:58 |
| jog1 | TJ-, please advise more specifics | 20:58 |
| daftykins | you should purge all nvidia* and reinstall something else | 20:58 |
| daftykins | i find it odd that you draw assumptions about the state of your hardware when you don't even know for sure | 20:59 |
| jog1 | daftykins, I know for sure it's not the hdd or mem | 20:59 |
| daftykins | why? :) | 20:59 |
| TJ- | jog1: how did you originall install the nvidia drivers? using ubuntu-drivers there should be no mismatch between kernel module and the userspace libraries | 20:59 |
| jog1 | because the issue only happens when recently running upgraded chrome/chromium/firefox | 21:00 |
| jog1 | and i upgraded the nvidia driver, too with 3... 66 kernel | 21:00 |
| jog1 | so it's one of those several culprits. the hardware is fine. | 21:00 |
| daftykins | alright, but bear in mind it wasn't very hard to check now was it? :) | 21:00 |
| jog1 | i used drivermanager gui | 21:00 |

| daftykins | mint nvidia-prime, it's a laptop right jog1 ? | 21:05 |
| daftykins | HP Pavilion? | 21:05 |
| TJ- | jog1: it looks like it needs a purge of nvidia-304 ("sudo apt-get purge nvidia-304") which *ought* to remove the DMS kernel module | 21:05 |
| jog1 | hp pav | 21:05 |
| jog1 | TJ-, doing so.. | 21:05 |
| OerHeks | jog1, mint ppa ? | 21:06 |
| === jog1 is now known as list | ||
| === list is now known as jog1 | ||
| daftykins | some kind of hybrid install :) | 21:06 |
| TJ- | jog1: and then "sudo dpkg --configure nvidia-340-updates" *ought* to generate the nvidia-340 kernel module | 21:06 |
| jog1 | TJ-, ok | 21:07 |
| OerHeks | i think you need to use ppa-purge that mint ppa to correct your nvidia-issue. | 21:07 |
| jog1 | TJ-, says alrady configured / installed | 21:07 |
| TJ- | jog1: OK, generate the module manually then: "sudo dkms install -m nvidia-340/340.93 -k $(uanme -r)" | 21:09 |
| jog1 | says it's a g86/geforce 8500 gt.. should I use 340 instead of 340-updates? or xerver--nouveau instead of all? | 21:09 |
| jog1 | TJ-, could not find module source.. Directory: /usr/src/nvidia-340-340.93 does not exist | 21:10 |
| adrian15 | Can I assume that any Ubuntu installation has /bin/bash ? Thank you. | 21:12 |
| daftykins | i think it'd be safe to, yeah | 21:12 |
| jog1 | TJ-, I am in the DRiver Manager gui, I am selecting the 340 nvidia driver, and I will apply and then reboot, and come back to the channel and see if that improves.. ? | 21:12 |
| k1l | adrian15: yes | 21:12 |
| TJ- | jog1: looks like the package isn't installed correctly. OK, yes, hopefully that might fix it | 21:12 |
| k1l | adrian15: but default is dash | 21:12 |
| OerHeks | jog1, did you add a Mint PPA ? just wondering about that nvidia prime package. | 21:13 |
| OerHeks | or you are on mint | 21:13 |
| jog1 | OerHeks, I am not sure if the ppa is still active | 21:13 |
| === Guest68002 is now known as epipercepi | ||
| jog1 | OerHeks, should I turn off the mint ppa if any? | 21:13 |
| OerHeks | i think you need to use ppa-purge that mint ppa to correct your nvidia-issue. | 21:13 |
| OerHeks | just turning off does not reverse to the original packages | 21:14 |
| OerHeks | !ppapurge | 21:14 |
| ubottu | 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:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 21:14 |
| jog1 | OerHeks, i'll try | 21:14 |
| jog1 | OerHeks, it seems to be still running some mint programs | 21:14 |
| jog1 | r | 21:22 |
| jog1 | TJ-, didn't work | 21:22 |
| jog1 | chrome just crashed again. still.. | 21:23 |
| === DosTuMai is now known as GLaDOSTuMai | ||
| jog1 | TJ-, and it's all read-only again as wel | 21:24 |
| jog1 | daftykins, you still here? | 21:26 |
| jog1 | OerHeks, still here? | 21:26 |
| daftykins | yes, personally i'd boot to a live session, fsck the disk - then handle some package management after | 21:27 |
| jog1 | daftykins, how does that help? | 21:28 |
| jog1 | it's the package mgt which is the issue | 21:28 |
| daftykins | jog1: i had a feeling you were going to question my reply. | 21:29 |
| jog1 | just trying to learn | 21:29 |
| daftykins | i don't really trust your install since it's this weird mash-up hybrid | 21:29 |
| k1l | did you use ppa-purge for that PPA? | 21:30 |
| jog1 | it is a mashup at this point, because some people kept telling me to try mint v ubuntu v xubuntu v lubuntu | 21:30 |
| jog1 | so i did | 21:30 |
| Dyzem | I downloaded a new icon set and quite like it but my current theme conflicts with the panel icons (both light icons and light theme). Is there any way to change only the panel icons but not the other icons? | 21:30 |
| daftykins | Mint is a distro though, not a DE as you seemed to word it | 21:30 |
| MonkeyDust | jog1 next time, try them in a virtual machine | 21:30 |
| MonkeyDust | as* | 21:30 |
| Ru_Lingu | Newbie ubuntu here, hi! :) | 21:30 |
| Ru_Lingu | I mean, linux | 21:30 |
| jog1 | daftykins, de? | 21:30 |
| daftykins | desktop environment | 21:31 |
| k1l | jog1: that is one of the reasons we cant support mint in here. they drag some depencies and other stuff with their PPA. so its not up to ubuntu if that fails. | 21:31 |
| daftykins | jog1: if you're still booting read only you need to discover why | 21:31 |
| jog1 | daftykins, not booting read only | 21:31 |
| jog1 | it's fine when boots. it only goes read only after chrome crashes | 21:32 |
| daftykins | oh ok | 21:32 |
| jog1 | thus not hardware | 21:32 |
| k1l | jog1: show a "dmesg | pastebin" | 21:32 |
| daftykins | i did not say anything about hardware, why do you jump to these conclusions? | 21:32 |
| === tristan is now known as Guest99162 | ||
| daftykins | (not this time at least) | 21:32 |
| k1l | jog1: show a "dmesg | pastebinit" (sorry typo) | 21:32 |
| jog1 | daftykins, i figured why the pastebinit was bad api.. the command is pastebin, not pastebinit :)0 | 21:32 |
| jog1 | http://paste.linuxmint.com/view/ow19 | 21:33 |
| daftykins | no it is not, it's pastebinit - but you're running Mint | 21:33 |
| jog1 | and they changed it? | 21:33 |
| jog1 | :-# | 21:33 |
| daftykins | so at this point i'm going to have to say you should go to their channel for help, or reinstall with actual ubuntu if you want help here | 21:33 |
| daftykins | !mint | 21:33 |
| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 21:33 |
| jog1 | daftykins, won't ppa-purge make it pure xubuntu/ubuntu? | 21:34 |
| daftykins | you can try what you like, i don't know what you did from the beginning | 21:35 |
| k1l | jog1: so it was a mint install where you installed xubuntu-desktop? | 21:35 |
| k1l | jog1: "lsb_release -a | pastebinit" | 21:36 |
| jog1 | k1l, it was ubuntu first, then i tried mint, and then i tried xubuntu and lubuntu | 21:36 |
| jog1 | daftykins, it was ubuntu first, then i tried mint, then xubuntu, then lubuntu | 21:37 |
| k1l | Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-66-generic root=UUID=12a1f73c-e0f3-4f24-87a8-f9635d88bb2e ro | 21:37 |
| k1l | so it boots ro from the start | 21:37 |
| daftykins | jog1: don't tell me. | 21:37 |
| daftykins | k1l: i was under the impression that's normal on all systems | 21:38 |
| daftykins | oh it's being handed the UUID and saying ro o0 | 21:38 |
| goddard | I have some trash in my can that can't be deleted. | 21:38 |

| TJ- | k1l: 'ro' is standard | 21:39 |
| k1l | daftykins: hmm, seems like ro boot is standard, yes | 21:39 |
| jog1 | TJ-, the nvidia reboot didn't work.. did you have any other possible idea? | 21:39 |
| fallkin | hi am i in a help server | 21:39 |
| daftykins | yes | 21:39 |
| TJ- | jog1: it seems there's something different Mint does; you'd need to investigate what it is. | 21:41 |
| jog1 | TJ-, mint was supposed to be such a smoother version of ubuntu.. but it's not.. | 21:41 |
| daftykins | that's the lie they sell everyday | 21:41 |
| jog1 | how can I get this xubuntu more pure without reinstalling everything? I really just need to get my browser to work asap | 21:42 |
| daftykins | nope, it's a mess now | 21:42 |
| stobix | Heh. I think my system is kinda broken right now. "command not found: init" | 21:43 |
| daftykins | if you're using a separate /home it'd be a quick reinstall from good media | 21:43 |
| jog1 | daftykins, i believe i am... | 21:43 |
| jog1 | how should i check? | 21:43 |
| daftykins | df -h | 21:44 |
| daftykins | or "mount" | 21:44 |
| mbach_ | how can I use "gpg2 --gen-key" with ubuntu? | 21:44 |
| coffeeguy | heh any known issues with the new kernel update? | 21:44 |
| mbach_ | there's an interference with keyring | 21:45 |
| jog1 | daftykins, it is.. but maybe i should try the newest kernel first? | 21:45 |
| k1l | coffeeguy: what issues? | 21:45 |
| daftykins | jog1: no, those are real stretches of the imagination - your install is hosed, nuke it from orbit asap | 21:45 |
| coffeeguy | just wondering if there were any to keep an eye out | 21:45 |
| daftykins | coffeeguy: we don't know what you're running | 21:45 |
| coffeeguy | ubuntu 14.04.3 | 21:46 |
| jog1 | daftykins, but if i'm just going to nuke it, why not try it first anyway? | 21:46 |
| daftykins | jog1: you claimed to be pressed for time. | 21:46 |
| jog1 | which i am | 21:46 |
| jog1 | isn't there a simple install command for the newest kernel? | 21:46 |
| k1l | jog1: "sudo apt-get install linux-generic" | 21:47 |
| OerHeks | jog1, LOLS, now you want a kernel which is NOT fixing your issue | 21:47 |
| k1l | i would recommend to choose between mint or ubuntu and then safe the important data and then make a clean install. | 21:47 |
| daftykins | you're just spinnin' your wheels :) | 21:47 |
| jog1 | OerHeks, i thought mint was ubuntu | 21:47 |
| OerHeks | seek support in the mint channels, or do a fresh install jog1 | 21:48 |
| OerHeks | don waste our time please | 21:48 |
| k1l | jog1: again: mint is not ubuntu | 21:48 |
| k1l | if it was, it would be called ubuntu :) | 21:48 |
| jog1 | distrowatch said it was part of the ubuntu family | 21:48 |
| k1l | jog1: i thought we were already past that. | 21:48 |
| jog1 | it's not like i'm making it up.. anyway, yes, past that. | 21:49 |
| OerHeks | still wasting time .. | 21:49 |
| jog1 | i'm just trying to get this pure ubuntu without nuking it | 21:49 |
| k1l | jog1: make a clean cut | 21:49 |
| Gerowen | jog1: I am just dropping into this conversation, but if you're trying to "convert" one distribution that used/uses non-Ubuntu repositories for its core system files, you're in for a LONG ride. It would be faster to just back up your home directory (including all the hidden .appname folders with your application settings), write down what 3rd party apps you want to keep, and just do a clean install of Ubuntu. | 21:50 |
| daftykins | there we go, so multiple people saying the same thing now | 21:51 |
| daftykins | seeing as my word never cut it the first time i said things this evening :) | 21:51 |
| Gerowen | jog1: You could have a pure Ubuntu up and running in 30 minutes, the longest part would just be moving your backed up files back and forth. | 21:51 |
| daftykins | and given a spare /home jog1 won't even have to do that :) | 21:51 |
| daftykins | er separate, not spare | 21:51 |
| jog1 | right, i have /home separate | 21:51 |
| coffeeguy | well anyhoo, ubuntu seems to be running like top with the kernel update i got this morning so Thank You :D | 21:52 |
| jog1 | but there are a lot of third party apps to reinstall | 21:52 |
| daftykins | jog1: the quicker you get to it, the quicker you can be doing that browsing you need to get to. | 21:52 |
| jog1 | sigh | 21:53 |
| OerHeks | In the hour you wasted here, you could easily do a fresh install. | 21:53 |
| jog1 | thanks.. i'll be back | 21:54 |
| TashaSetsuki | Hello I'm running ubuntu 15.10 beta 2 and I was wondering if anyone was able to install any proprietary fglrx drivers on it? | 21:56 |
| daftykins | #ubuntu+1 for Wily please | 21:57 |
| k1l | TashaSetsuki: basically: that should be possible | 21:57 |
| TashaSetsuki | I looked it up and there are issues with fglrx and 4.2 kernel | 21:57 |
| daftykins | there are most always issues with AMD and everything :) | 21:58 |
| TashaSetsuki | I've reinstalled ubuntu 3 times in a row now because it keeps messing up when I install fglrx | 21:58 |
| k1l | TashaSetsuki: details matter | 21:59 |
| daftykins | TashaSetsuki: as i mention though, until 15.10 is released - please take it to #ubuntu+1 | 21:59 |
| TashaSetsuki | How do I do that | 22:00 |
| allegorical | hi, sorry linux noob here... so i downloaded the jdk-8u65-linux-x64.tar.gz and ran 'sudo tar zxvf jdk-8u65-linux-x64.tar.gz' in /usr/java ... heh what do i do now ? | 22:01 |
| daftykins | don't install it from a tar | 22:01 |
| allegorical | okay sorry i just try to understand the tar stuff | 22:01 |
| daftykins | you're going to need to regularly update java since it's full of holes :) | 22:01 |
| daftykins | grab a PPA from somewhere like webupd8 with the java 8 installer | 22:02 |
| allegorical | so i should use the apt-get default-jdk something like that? ... oh | 22:02 |

| MrNumber3isme | Hello room | 22:08 |
| daftykins | lo | 22:08 |
| MrNumber3isme | I am trying to connect my Ubuntu laptop to a home file server running Windows 7. When I hit browse network, I see a folder titled Windows network. I open it up, and I can see my server. I open the folder titled workgroup, and I can see the server. I try to open it it asks for my password, I enter the password windows gave me when I set up the network, but it still will not let me connect | 22:11 |
| daftykins | MrNumber3isme: that's a homegroup password, you should leave the homegroup to make use of inter-OS sharing | 22:13 |
| daftykins | the user+pass is a Windows username and password, not the homegroup password | 22:13 |
| MrNumber3isme | So my windows password should work? | 22:14 |
| daftykins | maybe, but as i say - leaving the homegroup is the best bet. | 22:15 |
| === fred_ is now known as Guest779 | ||
| MrNumber3isme | What do you mean leave the home group? | 22:15 |
| daftykins | i mean literally that - go into the network and sharing center and you'll see. | 22:15 |
| daftykins | MrNumber3isme: you'll likely run into caching issues with win7 as a file server, it needs some registry tweaks to make it work properly. | 22:16 |
| MrNumber3isme | Network and Sharing Center on the Windows side? | 22:16 |
| daftykins | yes | 22:16 |
| daftykins | at best: it'll be slow, at worst: it'll disable its' own LAN Interface during high-throughput on gigabit LAN | 22:16 |
| MrNumber3isme | The only reason I got stuck with using Windows, is because every version of Linux that I have tried is extremely difficult to set up networking. | 22:17 |
| daftykins | i'd disagree with that | 22:17 |
| MrNumber3isme | Normally I would use Linux, but every version that I have used so far, or attempted to use did not want to work. So far I've had the best luck with Linux Mint, but for some reason it still did not want to connect or create a network | 22:18 |
| Gerowen | MrNumber3isme: I use GUFW for local software firewall and SSH for both remote logins and file transfer. | 22:18 |

| RepThis1 | Does Ubuntu have a section for linux forensics? I dont have alot of proper knowledge for a thing like this and the methodology or process. This vm has been purposefully tampered with and the things i know off the bat to check are users bash history, wtmp files, trying to figure out which users are real or fake and ect. And suggested resources would be fantastic. | 22:20 |
| daftykins | RepThis1: probably someone that does that work for a living if it's serious :) | 22:22 |
| Xeon3D | finetundra_ : if that doesn't help then this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1223822 | 22:22 |
| RepThis1 | daftykins: nothing serious, just participating in a cyber defense competition. They were smart and deleted most of the bash history so it kinda puts me at a dead end. I know theres a nice scripted command like "find /directory -newer /tmp/from ! -newer /tmp/to" to find edited files within a date range but more stuff like this to know about would be awsome. | 22:23 |
| daftykins | that's not a legitimate task then, sorry. | 22:23 |
| TJ- | RepThis1: we don't have a Forensics section, but if you're doing a cyberchallenge, start with logs, timestamps of key files, hashes of installed versus package files, content of deleted blocks in the file system | 22:25 |
| geomyidae_ | oh I know, let's try an upstart question again. How do I use initctl to stop a post-start script of a service? | 22:26 |
| geomyidae_ | initctl stop <svc name> fails since the service isn't running... it's a task | 22:26 |
| TJ- | geomyidae_: what service is it? | 22:27 |
| geomyidae_ | my own that I'm authoring. | 22:27 |
| TJ- | geomyidae_: pre-stop should terminate anything long-running from post-start | 22:29 |
| geomyidae_ | so that would be `initctl pre-stop <myservice>` ? I already took more destructive actions to unblock myself. | 22:30 |
| mrubuntu | That time will be 15.10 available to download? :) | 22:30 |
| TJ- | geomyidae_: although generally, its not good practice to have background/long-running processes start in the pre/post script stanzas | 22:30 |
| mrubuntu | what* | 22:30 |
| daftykins | mrubuntu: 2 minutes past when it's done o'clock | 22:31 |
| geomyidae_ | TJ-: it's normally not meant to be long running, it just loops until it downloads a tar and the tar url was bad. Probably a good point that it shouldn't infinite loop in that case. | 22:31 |
| geomyidae_ | anyway, thank you! :) | 22:31 |

| ^Mike | I'm on 15.04. When I boot with recent kernels (3.19.0-31 and -32) plymouth shows the password prompt for my encrypted root partition, but typing doesn't seem to get captured -- there's no dots in the text box, and entering the correct password doesn't decrypt the volume, the boot process just hangs there. But 3.19.0-28 is ok. What debugging steps should I do next? | 23:42 |
