[00:00] TJ - : or there seems to be something broken with systemctl [00:00] syntroPi: this? "virtualbox-guest-x11: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vboxvideo_drv.so" ? [00:01] yeah thats the one maybe. [00:01] moffa: A release upgrade? could be the ethernet device naming issue - systemd uses its own hardware-location-based naming scheme; if you had udevd persistent-net-names rules that might have caught it out [00:02] syntroPi: the only other .so is in the same package: "virtualbox-guest-x11: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/vboxvideo_dri.so" [00:03] syntroPi: that package has NO Depends on the linux-image packages [00:03] TJ- thanks i uninstalled it [00:03] cccccceleitdkvngvkuufkcvktefrluebduhilbdnhgl [00:04] oops! pressed my yubikey by mistake! [00:04] TJ- nice im thinking about ordering a neo [00:04] can you recommend those? [00:05] TJ: Is there such a thing as doing a netinstall over wireless? [00:05] TJ: Wifi? [00:05] Yes, definitely. I'm working on integrating the offline code for LUKS/cryptsetup, and grub, to allow OTP of full disk encryption [00:06] dgh123: I don't think so :) [00:06] TJ: Alright then. Thank you ;D [00:06] TJ- dang that sounds neat :) [00:06] TJ: Yes [00:06] syntroPi: It sounds neat... hope it is as easy as it sounds, but I fear headaches await! [00:07] TJ: It might've been there for i386 and amd64 but not other architectures. Yet again, maybe not. [00:07] TJ: Or it might've been there for debian in that same case but not for other arches. [00:08] TJ- are their client libraries all open and already packaged? [00:08] is their firmware trustworthy? [00:09] dgh123: there might be a way to get mini.iso online with wifi but it screams "why bother?" to me [00:09] though i'd always favour wired over wifi for any initial install [00:10] syntroPi: If you have to really question that, probably consider not using their firmware. [00:10] daftykins: If not, then I could just bridge the network connections on my Lubuntu laptop to the iMac no problem ;) [00:11] daftykins: wifi sharing over ethernet via net bridging... [00:11] TJ -: seems that systemctl screwed up everything [00:12] dgh123: heh fair enough [00:12] * daftykins pats network cables [00:12] dgh123, good point, didnt say i would have to question that, just did out of curiosity. probably you are right doesnt really matter [00:12] by design [00:14] syntroPi: the yubikey libraries are on gitlab/github, but I have to package them, and for grub, write new code [00:16] dgh123: I'm looking in the initrd.img.gz of the powerpc 15.10 net-installer; it has some drivers/net/wireless/ modules; which exact device does that PC have? (PCI Vendor:Product ID) [00:17] TJ: I plugged in my ath9k card in the usb port. [00:17] TJ: But I will just use a network bridge and share my wireless connection via my laptop. [00:17] TJ: to the ethernet on the iMac [00:17] TJ- wow that would be really cool. as long as one would have the yubikey in physical posession one could be sure the data is safe. once its destroyed one could even plausible deny the knowledge of any pass [00:17] dgh I see ./ath/ath.ko, ./ipw2x00/ipw2{1,2}00.ko, ./orinoco/, ./rt2x00/ airo.ko, atmel.ko [00:18] TJ: Right. I am not sure how to use that. [00:19] syntroPi: yeah... the trick will be ensuring the OTP sequence is known well enough to be able to insert the *next* in the sequence into one of the LUKS slots ... that will probably turn out to be the wrong way to do it, but its my working hypothesis for now [00:19] dgh123: I was looking at it to find out if the netinst image had any wifi drivers. It does, but they're all very OLD legacy devices [00:20] dgh123: I'm wondering if someone forgot to bring them up-to-date, or if there's a need for those [00:20] TJ: right [00:20] TJ: np [00:20] TJ: I am using the bridge successfully anyway [00:21] TJ: with the installation medium of CD-R, the installation seems to be going much more smoothly. [00:21] On that happy note - bedtime! === terminus is now known as Guest81797 [00:21] TJ: The installation media is working well too (Ub 15.10). [00:21] the 15.10 image is < 702mb ? [00:22] tlt: I am not sure. I am currently using the net install =D [00:22] a CD-r only holds 702 mb [00:22] okies [00:22] tlt: <47 MB [00:23] TJ- that sounds just too cool, im gonna order such a yubikey. is the neo the correct one for that? [00:23] I see dgh123 [00:23] syntroPi: It seems like it offers the best range of features, including NFC, and multiple application support [00:23] tlt: That is the ppc64 netinst img for Ub 15.10. [00:24] tlt: Currently using it for an iMac G5 with 1.25 GB of RAM [00:24] ok got cha [00:24] syntroPi: not sure how it'll cope with use on ssh log-ins, screensaver unlock, etc :p [00:24] tlt: (1,256 MB) [00:24] tlt: Sure thing ;) [00:24] ubuntu mate will be perfect for that [00:25] TJ-, but NFC is just for the big key (neo), not the small neo which could hide inside an usb right? [00:25] syntroPi: correct, I can't see the point of the nano sized device, once its in, how the heck do you get it out without busting the port? [00:25] b-yeezi: I agree. So will Lubuntu and Xubuntu (If only they worked when I tried them on 14.04 :/) [00:26] b-yeezi: with 14.04 on Xubuntu, the screen froze. Now trying stock Ub 15.10 ;) [00:27] dgh123: mate has been supporting ppc for a couple of releases now [00:27] TJ-, i think its meant for notebooks so it would not break [00:27] I love unity, but it's resource heavy [00:27] b-yeezi: TJ said that My crappy installation mediums (DVD+Rs) could've had a big effect on the sys files. Now using CD-R. BTW, I could check that out ;) === u0m3_ is now known as u0m3 [00:28] b-yeezi: 14.04+DVD+R = Disaster [00:28] :/ [00:28] TJ-, but id also rather get the big one with nfc i read on android one could even use openkeychain to pgp mail without even storing the private keys on the phone :) [00:29] The last cd/dvd install I did was on 12.10 [00:29] b-yeezi: How did that work for you? [00:29] I just dd the isos right onto raw usb pens [00:30] and install from thar [00:30] It depends on what you use to make it. I used nero from windows. It worked better than brasero for me. [00:31] syntroPi: I've yet to find time to experiment with it fully; I'm trying to avoid doing anything to it that I might regret later [00:31] Now I don't own any windows machines, but I just use usb and dcfldd [00:34] syntroPi: Mostly I want to avoid using it via 'cloud' based authentication methods [00:34] Tj iam view now normal audio not realtà driver tomorrow [00:34] TJ-, yeah i also would prefer a pure local usage [00:35] but afaik the cloud functions are all optional right? [00:36] syntroPi: they are the default for 2-factor services, but the code they've published supports offline mode, which is what I want to focus on... be great to have it work across all local *buntu devices without needing to connect to an external authenticator === seed_ is now known as Guest92326 [00:36] Now in EU are night i the morning i am search how to install realtek driver === buzain is now known as Guest91863 [00:37] TJ-, yeah which would be with two big advantages: trust only relies on local components (even closed firmware), and functionality would not depend on internet connectivity. [00:37] English9090_andr: As I told you earlier, the drivers are installed correctly. ALSA sees and uses the device. The issue is that PulseAudio for some reason does NOT see the built-in Realtek ALSA device. That's where you need to focus [00:38] Ok [00:38] I am try to focus in it [00:38] English9090: Try disabling or getting rid of pulseaudio and use what works if you would like ;) [00:38] syntroPi: that plus information leakage if the cloud can collect the usage pattern of the device, and where the requests came from [00:39] hi im trying to follow this guide http://blog.bluedrive.ro/?p=28 but i get " is not a hex string. Abort" [00:39] If repair installo ubuntu [00:39] English9090_andr: PulseAudio logs to /var/log/syslog; check that log-file for clues as to why it doesn't correctly link to the ALSA device [00:39] when i run " sudo usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 151a -V 12d1 -P 151b -W -M "xxxxxx...." " [00:40] Y7-dot-0: the -M "...." must be hex. check it has an even number of characters, and all are from the set 0-9A-F [00:40] Now I am on bed because are night if you like i send on Pm my skype [00:40] English9090_andr: it is 01:40 here; I'm going to bed now too [00:41] is wine out for ubuntu 15.10 yet?

Anyone have any idea on how to fix this? [00:51] Disregard, it may have just taken much longer to update the cache. Pidgin now shows (previously it didn't even after minutes of having it installed). [00:52] am i alive? [00:53] edem_: I hope! [00:53] alas! [00:54] where does ubuntu store its .tgz files? like when I install a package [00:54] I am specifically trying to find the pip .tgz if that helps [00:54] in /var/cache/apt/archives/. [00:54] but it's deb not tgz [00:55] dgh123 via poi am request to you [00:55] If play a game via pm [00:56] tlt: hmm so I see python-pip_1.0-1build1_all.deb. Is this the “newest pip” that I would get it I installed via apt-get pip install —update pip [00:57] if it says it's going to need downloading 0 mb then it is [00:57] where would it say that? [00:57] if it has to download another newer version then it isn't [00:57] oh i c [00:58] tlt: you can see what the latest package versions are by running a system update [00:59] so is python-pip the same as pip [00:59] (at least the latest version in the official repos) [00:59] bilb_ono: from what i can see yes it is [01:03] Can someone suggest a remote desktop application that supports multiple users and works well with video playing on the remote system? I've found that something like VNC slows down the entire desktop to a crawl when there's video playing [01:05] Sazpaimon_: Remote desktop is tricky... It has to stream video over a network (which is very slow), you could use ssh with the -X option [01:07] hi guys [01:07] do you know any sms software for ubuntu? or some phone software ? [01:08] Y7-dot-0: Talkatone and line 2 [01:08] Y7-dot-0: Also, Google Voice app(s) [01:09] can ifind them in sotware center? [01:11] turnt, ideally I'd like something that is easy for a client to use [01:11] turnt, I'm sure watching videos over ssh -X isn't really fast actually [01:11] my benchmark right now is MS remote desktop, which does fairly well with video over the internet [01:12] tlt: Watching videos over ANY encrypted remote connection is slow [01:12] if I must, I'll use VNC, but Im afraid that will just slow to a crawl when there's a video playing [01:13] MS RDP is at least usable when a video is playing [01:14] I might also try something like teamviewer [01:14] For captare video source you need pcap driver installed and pavket sniff er [01:15] I'm not capturing video, I'm just trying to see if anyone knows of a remote desktop program that won't be unusable if video is playing on the remote machine [01:18] Sazpaimon_: That sounds like a pretty cool project. You're basically trying to stream video over the internet huh? [01:19] BTW, when does 12.04 LTS end? [01:19] EOL? [01:19] hi guys, I need to boot straight in console mode to install nvidia driver because the login screen freeze almost instantly. any idea ? replacing quiet splash by text didnt work [01:20] r0nn: systemd ? [01:20] yes [01:20] r0nn: Try switching TTYs. If that doesn't work, try getting a gentoo install disk or ubuntu install disk and chroot into the system. [01:21] r0nn: Boot patameter " systemd.unit=multi-user.target " . [01:22] dgh123, switching TTY is not working. By chroot / on my hard drive I will be able to apt-get straight on the drive ? [01:22] XIX, not quite, I'm running a server that will act as a relay to a video streaming site. Basically, someone will stream to the RTMP server on the box, and there will be an instance of an application that will take the RTMP stream and put it on an overlay, then stream that to a streaming website [01:22] dgh123, probably in 2017. 12 means 2012? And it's five year supported [01:22] Bashing-om, thank will try right away [01:22] tlt: Thanks. [01:23] I need to make it so a moderator can remotely log on to the box and manage the streaming software (OBS), and make changes to the overlay if needed [01:23] 14.04 should end in 2019 [01:23] tlt: Right. [01:23] tlt: What about 16.04 or 18.04? [01:23] tlt: In the future... [01:23] obviously since the overlay will have the RTMP stream on it, I need to make it so it can be tolerable for them to manage the overlay without the video stream causing the remote session to be really slow [01:23] add five years to 16 == 21 [01:23] tlt: Thanks [01:24] they might change support ranges, it's a long time till 2018 still [01:24] 12.04 means April 2012 [01:24] so you get the version logics? [01:24] tlt: Yes. [01:24] tlt: Thanks [01:24] tlt: AHH [01:25] tlt: 15.04 april 2015, 15.10 october 2015. [01:25] tlt: I get it [01:26] TJ: Are you still here? If you are, I will let you know how 15.10 on a CD-R installation goes. [01:27] TJ: It is almost done. [01:27] what is the best terminal partition manager? Parted 3 is pretty much useless without the 'resize' command... :( [01:27] oddRobot: I like and prefer cfdisk. [01:28] oddRobot: fdisk is my second choice. [01:28] what about gdisk? [01:28] oddRobot: I am not familiar with gdisk. [01:28] oddRobot: That is all I have to offer right now. [01:29] dgh123: thanks! I'll check out cfdisk [01:32] Anybody tried using PCSXR after upgrading to 15.10? [01:34] oddRobot: No problem. [01:34] Hey everyone, I am getting an error message on my iMac.

Goodnight everyone [01:38] anyone can help me to move taksbar in backbox linux ?? [01:38] i want to move the taksbar to bottom [01:40] hey guys can i install ubuntu over ssh over a fedora install? === Y7-dot-0 is now known as b00s3d [01:41] Sazpaimon_: That is way cool, and way beyond my expertise. Microsoft has RemoteFX technology but I'm not sure if there are equivalents of that out there. RDP is probably the best bet. In Windows, I use the built-in Remote Desktop Client and in Linux, I use Remmina. [01:42] sansay: no [01:43] sansay: A hands on install will be more fun. [01:43] but that means i have to walk to the server :( [01:43] thats just burtal [01:43] OH NO! [01:43] i just sat down lol [01:43] image the iso to the swap, boot from that, install [01:44] ya i dont know what that means lol [01:49] sansay: do you have a separate /boot ?

[01:51] raspberian OS exactly [01:51] thats not ubuntu then, so not on topic here [01:51] im trying to get ubuntu mate going...is there a room for ubuntu mate? [01:51] Is there a way to make Ubuntu use Google {Docs,Sheets,Slides} as the default handlers for those file types, rather than LibreOffice? [01:52] where does init tab exists in ubuntu ? [01:52] allen: what version [01:52] I think I'm gonna give splashtop a try [01:52] uhhh 15.05 [01:52] RudzZ: try the #raspberrypi channel or if theres a channel for raspberian [01:52] allen: there is no 15.05.... [01:53] 15.10 [01:53] allen: you trying to install, whats the issue? ubuntu-mate from 15.04 forward is an official flavor, so you can get support in this channel [01:53] When I try to print a PCL document to the "HP Laserjet P1102w" printer, the light just blink instead of printing; do you know what is wrong? (I tried to phone them, they couldn't help) [01:54] Ben64: no such channel mate :( [01:54] The command I used is: dvilj4 - < texput.dvi | lp [01:54] RudzZ: #raspberrypi does exist [01:54] no i have it installed..i cant find a package manager..like synaptic [01:54] allen: synaptic isn't installed by default anymore, you can install it if you like, open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install synaptic" [01:55] arhhhhh i can do that [01:56] how do i know which version of ubuntu i need? [01:56] Ben64: it says no such channel bro [01:57] ok thats done..thanks [01:58] is their anyway i can change color of folders like in Linux Mint? [01:58] sansay: what's your plan for usage? [01:58] its an old computer, i want to learn and setup a web server locally [01:58] so i can test my scripts [01:58] basicalyl learn ubuntu server [01:58] 14.04 server then [01:58] always go LTS when you work with server, it means long term support [01:59] ah ok [01:59] i have used 14.04 LTS is a good OS [01:59] Can you tell me why it doesn't print? [02:00] "it"? [02:01] oh from above, nope. [02:03] how do I setup the terminus font on urxvt? [02:04] They told me on the telephone that it does support PCL5 and PCL6, although looking on some other webpages it says it does not support PCL. [02:05] How do I convert DVI into the format needed by this printer, then? [02:06] how can i access the /etc/inittab ? === jacob_ is now known as Guest86802 [02:09] Why does mount -t tmpfs -o nr_inodes=0 none mnt_point fail on my Kubuntu 15.10 system, running 4.2.0-16, when it succeeded on my 15.04 system, and it succeeds on my Gentoo systems running 4.2.3 and 4.0.8? [02:09] The error message in dmesg is " tmpfs: Bad value '0' for mount option 'nr_inodes'". But that is clearly a lie because https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/tmpfs.txt mentions that nr_inodes=0 means unlimited inodes, and has for *ages*. === quantic_ is now known as quantic [02:11] hello guys i am still learning about using ubuntu and i want some headups [02:11] can anybody help [02:12] im new myself [02:12] You should ask your question.

Also, there should be a selection in the display menu that says "Scale display to match", try a few of those options and see if that fixes anything.

[02:45] under what conditions would you want to separate partitions on install? === seed_ is now known as Guest47631 [02:45] hi all [02:46] AnnaRooks, Using an MS-DOS partition table, it needs a partition with a boot flat. In that case, a separate boot partition is usually used [02:46] anyone have issues with ubuntu 15.10? [02:46] alright, what about / and /home then? [02:46] AnnaRooks, I personally separate / and /home for multiple reasons [02:47] maybe nother bug? idk. [02:47] AnnaRooks, the main reason is I may want to switch to a different distro in the future, or more likely want to update it (assuming not a rolling release) [02:47] ah [02:48] AnnaRooks, It gets tedious to back up all your personal files or maybe Steam games at best, and wastes precious TBW on SDDs at worst [02:49] has anyone installed chrome on wily werewolf? [02:49] ive never seemed to need a boot partition, even on the msdos table? [02:49] So generally I make the / partition 20-25 GB, and /home for what space remains. I still do a /boot partition as well, ordered in a way that remains constant so that if I need to resise /home or / it doesn't change the starting sector (which could corrupt it) [02:50] I think it's more of a legacy thing from years back, that I'm still used to === sins-_m is now known as sins- [02:51] I use GPT partitions even on BIOS anyways, and make a BIOS Boot Partition [02:51] Anyone have any idea why nr_inodes=0 is an invalid mount option in (K)Ubuntu 15.10, but a valid one in 15.04 and a Gentoo system running 4.0 or 4.2 kernels? FWIW, it has been documented to be a valid option for ages: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/tmpfs.txt [02:52] Er, that is an invalid mount option for tmpfs filesystems. [02:52] anyone awake? [02:54] i was always afraid of using gpt [02:55] GPT works well for me for my non-boot drives. I use it to assign stable disk names to the drives in my storage array. :) AFAIK, I don't use it on boot drives. [02:57] It works just fine as well so long as the your BIOS supports it, which I believe most do xD [02:57] You just need to make a 2 MB unformatted partition at the beginning of the disk, set in GParted with the flag 'bios_grub' [02:58] Even if it doesn't, I would expect that it works just fine for non-boot disks. :) [03:00] how does the bios read the partition if its gpt? [03:00] GPT is a standard that isn't necessarily tied to UEFI, it's self-contained [03:01] But the BIOS needs some boot sector to boot off of, hence the need for a BIOS Boot Partition [03:01] so does the gpt header instruct the bios how to read it? [03:02] I think what GPT does it also keeps a read-only copy of a Master File STable that's backwards compatible so the BIOS can properly read it [03:03] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table#Features [03:04] "..but the bootloader and operating system must both be GPT-aware" Is the catch, but that was only an issue 5 years ago [03:04] chaos7theory, No, I don't think that's correct. EFI needs a FAT(!) partition to store and read the info it needs to load bootloaders or whatever. [03:04] IIRC, you can also have a pure-GPT partition scheme. [03:04] UEFI needs a EFI partition, yes [03:04] But I'm talking strictly GPT on BIOS xD [03:04] Unknown_User, you can. Macs have had that [03:05] tlt, Did they need the tiny FAT partition for EFI, or is that an [03:05] "Intel" thing, or am I totally mistaken about that? [03:05] I don't think so. I'm not sure though. [03:05] FAT partition for UEFI is a UEFI thing [03:05] like, it's in the UEFI standard [03:05] Perhaps you are right, Unknown_User [03:06] Any computers that adhere to UEFI requires the EFI boot partition by specification [03:06] I never owned a Mac though [03:07] Here's on Apple https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFI_System_partition#Apple.E2.80.93Intel [03:07] this computer was efi set up, but I chose legacy since I'm only going to run linux there anyways [03:07] full disk [03:08] This is a test. [03:08] I don't think even on Legacy with GPT the BIOS can read beyond 2 TB anyways [03:09] But I use GPT wherever possible regardless because I no longer have to worry about Primary, Extended, or Logical Partitions [03:09] so is the efi partition like a list? [03:10] More like that's where the bootloader programs themselves generally are, though apparently Apple doesn't use it as such [03:10] So if you know GRUB, on GRUB 2 it'll copy itself onto the partition and that's the initial step taken to starting everything up after POST [03:11] chaos7theory, there's only a 128gb ssd in this machine so it's no problem [03:11] I have this problem [http://askubuntu.com/questions/450767/multi-display-issue-with-ubuntu-gnome-14-04] and tried this [http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/74-ubuntu/309-ubuntu-dual-display-monitor-position-lost%20Link%20to%20article] but its not working, anyone? [03:12] tlt, Yeah, that's no problem, I just use it out of personal choice xD [03:12] hey all, i'm having an issue with one of my monitors not staying lit consistently. I notice that it only happens once the login prompt shows up [03:12] gotcha, yeah I've had huge drives too, but here I don't have that problem [03:12] this is a dual monitor setup [03:12] then I try keep it as simple as possible. [03:12] bios and boot messages are mirrored on both screens, but once the login prompt hits one shuts off [03:13] i'm assuming this is probably an issue with lightdm? [03:13] i'm running 15.10 [03:13] crshman: ati videocard ? [03:13] I've never even seen anything beyond 1 TB personally, and that's on an external drive [03:13] alphaseg: intel [03:13] I wish I had a 1 TB SSD, but still even till today they're so expensive 'w' [03:14] the screen flickers on and off after logging in and when it flickers on i can see the desktop, windows and the clock running [03:14] I've had three 2tb drives, not ssd though [03:16] Wine was hijacked my nautilus bookmarks! How do I fix it? [03:16] here is some system hw output: https://gist.github.com/rnavarro/33f11f31903942ede294 [03:20] 'wine' has hijacked my 'Bookmarks'. how do I fix it?

[03:24] dual boot linux and windows 7. linux first.. than windows. [03:24] uthmad you can do it from the software center [03:24] choose your application and click uninstall [03:25] good evening, how do I undo this "export ORACLE_HOME=$(pwd)/instantclient_11_2"? [03:26] hamsterpower: check your .bashrc [03:26] thanks @all for helping me [03:27] export is a command to define a global variable [03:27] 'wine' has hijacked my 'Bookmarks'. how do I fix it? [03:27] EMPHASIS: do I cd into .bashrc? [03:27] if you know the previous value you can restore it: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2012/07/linux-export-command-examples/ [03:27] Zeioth: there was no previous value I think [03:28] then try "unset ORACLE_HOME" [03:28] hamsterpower: .bashrc is a hidden file in your home directory (because it starts with a '.'). Open a terminal (it should start in your home directory), and type gedit .bashrc Then see if it contains the export command. [03:28] that will delete the global variable [03:29] Zeioth: thanks for helping hamsterpower. [03:30] thank you Zeioth and EMPHASIS [03:30] sometimes, I think there are angels [03:30] :) [03:30] you too emphasis [03:30] glad to help [03:33] 'wine' has hijacked my 'Bookmarks'. how do I fix it? [03:35] When I click on Places -> then a bookmark, a Wine dialog opens and says it cannot run the command. WTF? Help, anybody? [03:36] is Places an app? [03:37] hamsterpower: I'm using Gnome Classic interface, not the Unity interface. It's beside the Applications menu in the Classic interface. [03:39] EMPHASIS: have you already checked this link? http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/wine-hijacked-my-file-associations-4175531100/ [03:39] hamsterpower: Places contains a list of shortcuts for Nautilus. But somehow (I don't know how) these shortcuts have been hijacked by the Wine (Windows Emulator). [03:41] This is beyond my knowledge :/ [03:43] Is enabling discard on mount for Ubuntu still a (performance) problem as of 15.10 [03:43] ?* [03:54] Well that's a weird, hilarious bug [03:55] On Ubuntu Software Center, instead of the progress bar, it's literally the swirling bars icon statically moving to the right [03:56] How would i make this command run every time i login on startup. maybe afer a 5 second delay... : "xrandr --delmode DP1 1280x1024"?

[03:58] Neccy320: might need to make it DISPLAY=:0 xrandr... [03:58] What is it meant to do? [03:58] or otherwise set DISPALY (from ps aux | grep X output, the #) [03:58] s/DISPALY/DISPLAY [03:59] I think that's it [04:00] reisio: so these would work: 'DISPLAY=:0 xrandr' or 'set DISPALY (from ps aux | grep X output, the #) s/DISPALY/DISPLAY' [04:00] does anyone know? I have a 15.10 machine. Every time it suspends, when it comes back up the webcam light is on. It stays on until I reboot, or if I open cheese, and close it again, the light goes off.

[04:21] By running "xrandr --delmode VGA1 1680x1050" refreshes by display and fixes my problem, but i want it to run on startup so its automatic, maybe after a 5 second delay. How would i do this?

[04:30] all i can find is the exe [04:30] not the inf or zip file [04:30] amicrawler, you would want the driver suggested for you hardware, not sure if you're askin about rt8723be cause I mentioned it. [04:31] yes looking for it [04:31] what command shall I use in the terminal to mind symfony on my linux laptop [04:31] "DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --delmode VGA1 1680x1050" doent do anything once added to startup applications as a commands.

[04:32] reisio: whats that? [04:33] Guys, I have a weird problem. Anyone around? [04:33] all 1659 of us are not here Bork [04:33] Excellent. [04:33] amicrawler: `lspci -k` - Look in that output for "network controller" ... and "wifi". In that chunk of text, look for the "Kernel modules:" line. It should show the driver needed. That same driver should be shown on the above line, "Kernel driver in use:" if it is loaded. [04:33] amicrawler: Check that output. And let us know what it says. Or if you have questions. [04:34] [15.04] Clean install on an SSD working great for 3 months BUT on 1st and subsequent startups today, "Checking media [Fail]" happens 2x before loading Ubuntu. And, oddly, the system fonts/launcher icon sizes all changed even though the settings stayed the same. And an Unknown: Unknown device appears. [04:34] I can't believe these three issues would **all** be related, but them occurring at the exact same time is... confounding. Under Software and Updates --> Additonal Drivers, there was originally only one device listed, the laptop's Radeon R6, with three choices available. But now there's another device, "Unknown: Unknown". It is detailed that "This device is using an alternate driver." with two options to select: "Using Processor micro [04:34] from amd64-microcode (proprietary) Do not use this device" ...what in the hell is going on here? Why is this seeing my processor (?) as an unknown device? Why did, instead of booting right from the SSD, did the BIOS magically decide to start "Checking media"? Why the hell are the system fonts different?

My gut says: don't be stupid. But... [04:39] Neccy217: yup [04:39] Why would the system fonts just change randomly? [04:40] Hello There, I'm trying to set up my WiFi on 15.10, I put it my WPA Key and it doesn't accept it and spits back out the Authentication Window (and yes I typed the key correctly) [04:40] reisio: what if i add "xrandr --delmode VGA1 1680x1050" in "/etc/rc.local"? [04:40] reisio: possible? [04:43] Neccy217: X starts much later [04:43] you probably want to use GNOME's autostart stuff [04:44] if it uses ~/.config/autostart/, you can copy a .desktop file in there and swap the command [04:50] so I just tried to upgrade to 15.04 using do_release_update [04:50] and now I've got a kernel panic on boot.

[09:13] vvk_yugasa, under "download from" there's a switch to "select best server" === sid is now known as Guest76928 [09:15] ok cfhowlett... doing that. Also can you pls check my source.list file http://paste.ubuntu.com/12914227/ [09:15] Can you pls check and let me know if it is ok or not [09:15] Okay, so even if I remove the nvidia drivers, xorg.conf is still recreated with the same error [09:16] vvk_yugasa, looks legit [09:16] ok [09:16] the best server it chose for me is honk kong...

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience === zz_nerd is now known as nerd [11:07] ok my problem is now i am show the internal audio device but alsamixer show up the realtek driver how to get driver audio realtek working on audio setting in system setting_ === fego_ is now known as fego [11:15] oi === L is now known as Guest77014 [11:16] oi [11:17] hi, before upgrading Ubuntu I could suspend the session simply closing the display of my laptop, now it's no more possible: is it possible restore this behaviour? [11:17] hi [11:18] hi [11:18] Guest77014 it works, we can see you [11:18] hii [11:20] nglpx1: yeah there is a way. [11:21] Hi [11:21] MonkeyDust: you eat banana [11:21] resdtardx, what is the way? [11:23] Hibernate function in my ubuntu stopped working yesterday. While resuming rom hibernation, it gave an error "[ 1.411868] radeon 0000:0a:00.0: VCE init error (-22). " and since then hibernation is not working. [11:24] Everytime I resume from hibernation, it just gives me this error and says something about recovering journal and then gets stuck on a black screen. I have to force shut down it then. [11:25] I am on Ununtu 15.10 [11:27] Is this a known issue? [11:28] nglpx1: sudo vim /etc/systemd/logind.conf [11:28] then as above, remove the # beforeHandleLidSwitch=suspend and save [11:28] resdtardx no profane language here, even in pm [11:29] rud0lf_: do you have swap [11:29] resdtardx, I have to decomment some row? [11:29] I hate systemd [11:30] nglpx1: I use sudo gedit not vim. Add it or uncomment it [11:30] how do i get apt-get to ignore listed packages that don't exist? [11:30] resdtardx, Yeah I have [11:31] I use vi.. but which row has to be uncomment? [11:31] resdtardx, 4.1 GB [11:31] which row has to be uncommented? [11:31] nglpx1: HandleLidSwitch=suspend [11:33] And then? reboot? [11:33] nglpx1: if that don't work try to uncommenting variableLID_SLEEP=true from /etc/default/acpi-support. [11:33] ok [11:36] MonkeyDust: what'd you say [11:41] nglpx1: any thing [11:42] rud0lf_: maybe your swap space is corrupted === subvhome__ is now known as subvhome [11:44] resdtardx, should I format it or what? [11:45] resdtardx, doesn't work, and I have no LID_SLEEP variable inside variableLID_SLEEP=true from /etc/default/acpi-support [11:45] and I have no LID_SLEEP variable inside /etc/default/acpi-support [11:46] maybe ACPI_SLEEP? [11:46] nglpx1: is the one executable === newell is now known as Guest88403 [11:47] : [11:47] how do i make apt-get not ask if i want to install? [11:47] ? [11:47] like ommitting -a from emerge but for ubuntu [11:48] resdtardx, which one is executable? [11:48] Logind.conf nglpx1 check the properties to see if it's executable [11:49] /etc/systemd/logind.conf is not an executable file [11:50] it's a configuration fiel [11:50] file [11:50] Caplain man apt-get explains a lot [11:50] im sure it does [11:52] if i had the time to read all of that i would be installing gentoo :P [11:52] the answer is -y btw === leon is now known as Guest51099 [11:53] Caplain use the time you spend waiting for an answer to read the man page [11:53] lol i was using that time to do other computery things but noted [12:00] i figured the brownie points i get for answering questions on #gentoo would be applicable to all freenode channels...lol [12:02] hello [12:02] can't i have multiple "exec" in an upstart script? [12:03] In my case I have a webserver and essentially the same codebase as worker and they share the same env's and it would be super easy to do so [12:04] fresher: then use 2 jobs; the init system configuration is designed to manage a single daemon process, not a group of processes [12:04] TJ-: Do I have to configure the env s 2 times or is there a chance to have that shared? [12:05] Things like database password and stuff is configured via envs [12:06] hi eveyone [12:08] fresher: you could pull those in from a common file [12:08] TJ-: Maybe I have to read into vagrant and stuff. [12:08] fresher: many job scripts keep common parameters under /etc/default/JOB [12:08] TJ-: How do i include that into an upstart script? [12:15] Via OpenVPN iam connected with the server of my university. How can I automatically mount a smb-share in the university-network when opening the vpn-connection? [12:18] fresher: 'source' it in the pre-start script stanza. Look at other service configs under /etc/init/, such as apport.conf [12:18] thanks [12:18] i will read into docker and vagrant and stuff as well [12:18] fresher: "grep 'etc/default/' /etc/init/*" will point to several [12:18] thanks [12:19] Additionally if somebody would answer me some questions about /etc/fstab would be grateful [12:20] hta6cgxt: Is the VPN connection being managed by Network Manager? [12:20] TJ-: Yes [12:22] hta6cgxt: see "man 8 network-manager" and use a 'vpn-up' dispatcher script [12:22] TJ-: I configured it with help of the GUI because im really, let's say rusty [12:22] hta6cgxt: you'll likely want to do the inverse operation for 'vpn-pre-down' too [12:22] hta6cgxt: what was the fstab question? [12:28] hey all [12:28] TJ-: I added the smb-share adress with -o noauto in my /etc/fstab in order to mount it with "sudo mount -a" [12:29] TJ-: But that doesnt work... :( [12:30] hta6cgxt: the fstab format uses columns, not 'switch' operators, to deliniate the fields. Options are the 4th field. See "man 5 fstab" [12:30] hta6cgxt: e.g. "10.254.1.20:/srv/cctv /mnt/cctv nfs _netdev 0 0" [12:31] TJ-, hta6cgxt: Isn't the "noauto" option specifically intended to keep it from mounting a) automatically and b) when using automount, aka sudo mount -a? [12:31] hta6cgxt: or, where I use noauto: "UUID=e20802d3-52e4-4601-a168-404a32ba1568 /mnt/target/usr/local ext4 defaults,noauto 0 0" [12:32] burkmat: correct [12:32] hi, what do I need to do if my DM doesn't seem to load after upgrading to 15.10? [12:32] hta6cgxt: ahhh, I misread your question. "mount -a" will ignore all noauto entries; but "mount /DEV/PATH" will still work. [12:33] TJ-, burkmat: //serveradress/HOME /home/user/directory cifs noauto,username=username,passwd=, 0 0 === ShibaInu is now known as Shibe === b is now known as Guest77188 [12:34] hta6cgxt: as long as you know it won't automount with "mount -a" though. :) As TJ- said, you'll have to explicitly mount that path. [12:35] I only get a black screen with the X cursor [12:35] exit [12:35] TJ-,burkmat: Okay, but it doesnt work when leaving the "noauto" option. The problem is, that I dont really know whats the problem when adding the code to my fstab. When mounting with "mount.cifs" it works very well.... [12:37] hta6cgxt: entries in fstab are only processed at boot-time; at which point the VPN is likely not up. So, after the VPN is up, you'd want to use 'mount' for that specific mountpoint to bring it up. [12:38] hta6cgxt: if you dropped "noauto" but added "_netdev" "mount -a" after the VPN was up should work. However, that will likely cause a long pause at boot whilst the init system waits to see if that mount is going to appear [12:38] TJ-: So wouldnt it be a better idea to mount it within the "vpn-starting-skript"? [12:39] hta6cgxt: E.g. for my system with 'noauto' entries, I can do "sudo mount /mnt/target/usr/local" when I want that [12:40] hta6cgxt: Yes, that is where I'm taking you. "mount /path/to/mountpoint" in the 'vpn-up' script, and "umount /path/to/mountpoint" in the -'vpn-pre-down' script [12:40] TJ-: I'll try to do that! Tanks in advance! It's great that there are guys like you out there!! [12:41] hta6cgxt: I'm not out there - I'm in here! :D [12:46] :D~ === newell is now known as Guest14039 [12:55] why does ubuntu lock up when I try to boot from my 64gb live usb [12:55] i used the pendrive linux usb installer to format the drive as fat32 and write the ubuntu 15.10 iso [12:55] i also used 4gb persistent [12:56] ubunto locks up during the ububunto boot logo animation [12:57] ubuntu locks up on the screen where dots appear and disappear [12:57] why does remastersys create a small .iso file on ubuntu15.04? [12:59] ludza isnt that the way remastersys is supposed to work? [12:59] MonkeyDust, ludza: I guess so, too. [12:59] my remastersys is creating a 36Kb instead of 2gb which is the size of my squashfs file [13:00] 36kb iso file [13:00] i used the universal usb installer and the 15.10 iso but ubuntu hangs on the purple boot screen [13:00] i tried both usb 2.0 and 3.0 and uefi and legacy modes and it hangs each time [13:01] i have asus z170 pro gamer with gtx 980 card and 16gb ram [13:01] i7-6700k [13:01] KeithWeisshar keep your question in one line, that's easier to read and repeat [13:02] <[konbanwa]> KeithWeisshar press~ ctr+alt f1 === ^CJ^ is now known as ^cj^ [13:03] <[konbanwa]> KeithWeisshar is there a prompt? [13:03] add NOMODESET in menu, and also if you have SSD add to kernel line libata.force=noncq [13:04] <[konbanwa]> yeah press e while bootingg then edit [13:05] i used universal usb installer 1.9.5.2 with 4gb persistent data [13:05] my flash drive is 64gb sandisk ultra [13:05] <[konbanwa]> KeithWeisshar while booting, when you see the boot menu press e then add nomodeset === leone is now known as Guest56417 [13:06] is there a usb capacity limit for universal usb installer [13:06] <[konbanwa]> KeithWeisshar do you have ssd [13:06] no [13:06] i was trying to boot directly from the usb flash drive [13:06] i was trying to boot from live usb and it was hanging [13:07] it's a sandisk ultra usb 3.0 drive with 100mb/sec read speed [13:07] <[konbanwa]> KeithWeisshar before booting you should see a boot menu like try ubuntu or install ubuntu [13:07] i clicked on try ubuntu and then after that it boots and hangs while booting [13:07] <[konbanwa]> KeithWeisshar press e and you should see a emacs like command prompt [13:08] <[konbanwa]> KeithWeisshar do not press enter press e [13:08] when i run remastersys dist it just creates an iso file which is 36Kilobytes in size, but my system is bigger than that. What could be the cause? [13:08] <[konbanwa]> KeithWeisshar are you there yet? [13:09] <[konbanwa]> ludza did you read the remastersys documentation? [13:09] its probably nouveau problem - nvidia driver [13:10] [konbanwa]: yes i did. why do you ask? [13:10] <[konbanwa]> ludza then follow it correctly [13:11] <[konbanwa]> there should be no problem (exept for bugs) [13:12] salut [13:13] KeithWeisshar - In the BIOS you have to disable the following: FastBoot, Intel Speedstep, SecureBoot, also set UEFI with CSM (if doesnt work try with LEGACY), then in Install Ubuntu press F6 and set option NOMODESET. [13:13] so there is a bug with remastersys? anyone who can fix it? [13:15] hello ubuntu 15.10 is available? [13:15] yes it is [13:16] i can upgrade from 14.04lts? [13:17] <[konbanwa]> luzda try this http://linuxhalwa.blogspot.com/2013/01/how-to-create-ubuntu-live-cddvd-using.html [13:18] hello [13:18] <[konbanwa]> ludza problem solved? [13:18] [konbanwa]: thanks let mi check it ou [13:18] ablest1980, 14.04 > 14.10 ( eol) > 15.04 > 15.10 ... i would do fresh install [13:19] k ill wait for nxt lts and order dvd [13:19] ty [13:20] !xenial [13:20] Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) will be the 24th release of Ubuntu.

[13:21] :) [13:22] <[konbanwa]> LXD [13:24] Hi everyone, do you know how we do a Phone Call and Send SMS from a QML app? I couldn't find in the lastest API: https://developer.ubuntu.com/api/apps/qml/sdk-15.04.1/ [13:24] guys can i upgrade from 15.04 to 15.10 without loosing my file and installed apps?

Support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [13:25] <[konbanwa]> ludza why do you want to upgrade? === prince is now known as Guest39036 [13:26] ludza yes, do-release-upgrade ... I tried it ... it took several hours and I had to stay present to confirm from time to time [13:26] Did anyone have a problem with nvidia (the newest) drivers and infinity login loop ~ Ubuntu 15.04 ? [13:27] ludza: always make a backup before an upgrade. (But you should always have a backup anyway) [13:28] that is why i want to first create my distributable iso first before upgrading [13:28] <[konbanwa]> ludza just backup your ~/ folder [13:30] what about my customised applications: [13:30] <[konbanwa]> ludza why do you want to upgrade? [13:30] i want the latest system [13:30] ludza this is one way to backup: rsync -avvurP --delete [source] [target] [13:31] for updates and bug fixes [13:31] likely you need to install those 'customised ´ apps again. or customise them again. [13:31] <[konbanwa]> ludza then install your apps again [13:31] <[konbanwa]> start fresh [13:32] <[konbanwa]> ubuntu 15.10 is just a maintenance release [13:33] <[konbanwa]> ludza ubuntu 15.10 is just a maintenance release [13:33] ludza, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes " Using packages from repositories not controlled by Ubuntu is not recommended as it can be a security risk and may break or complicate your upgrade." [13:33] those will be disabled and excluded from the upgrade [13:33] goodluck :-) [13:34] <[konbanwa]> ludza if you are just using your computer to surf the web, read email, fu** facebook, no need to upgrade [13:34] it seems gnome/lucid is ignoring .xinitrc and .xsession [13:34] so, how do i work around that? [13:34] [konbanwa], no need for that language, keep this channel family friendly, thanks. [13:35] Caplain, lucid ? really ? [13:35] <[konbanwa]> OerHeks ok [13:35] OerHeks, i need kernel version 2.6 for the elo apr driver. it segfaults in v3 [13:35] and nobody would help me downgrade 12.04 [13:36] so i put lucid on [13:36] its been fun. [13:36] I have a problem with networking. networkmanager doesnt establish the connection until I log in. but I have some fstab entries for samba shares, and these won't mount because the IP address isn't set. [13:36] couldn't find a driver that supports kv3 or i would be done by now [13:37] in the past, it used to be possible to define a connection as a "system connection", and network-manager would start & connect this one at boot. now I can't find this anymore. [13:38] hi [13:40] hi anyone here that uses kickstart know if all the ks.cfg options also work for ubuntu or just specific ones ? Also anyone experienced a %post not taking care of overwriting a interfaces file ? [13:42] hello, can anyone help me choose how my printer ought to be connected on my network? [13:44] Hello?

I'm hacking with xinput parameters jsut now, but that is not exactly slick [16:31] bug 1132063 in unity-control-center (Ubuntu) "Mouse settings missing from Mouse & Touchpad dialog" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1132063 [16:33] hi === mohammed is now known as Guest49580 [16:33] yes [16:43] mcphail gconf-editor is a relic that *sometimes* helps [16:43] Hello Mister [16:43] hi my friend . hi aq you are still alive tnx [16:44] aq_ you are a real magician !

[16:53] ioria: yes - I've just created a little script to set the sensitivity and added it to the startup programs.

Hackish, but it works. It would be nice if I could get the sensitivity dialog to appear [16:55] ap2 ok let's go back to our problem [16:55] mcphail you can add it in the launchpad bug comments [16:55] mcphail, yeah... a beautiful pygtk interface ....

I think this could have something to do with the lxdm display manager, but that would be stupid. [18:17] motaka2: it sounds like your disk has a problem [18:18] motaka2: the fact that both windows and linux are not booting and look to be having problems with the disk - suggests it may be the physical disk, if it's just the file system, a re-install would fix it [18:18] It crashed again. [18:18] ubuntu349: why would that be stupid ? [18:18] No idea. [18:18] then why did you say it's stupid ? [18:18] So, how can I use a shell instead of a display manager?

[18:24] you don't install ubuntu within linux [18:24] Tiera: and you don't open it with an app [18:24] What do i do [18:24] Ok what do i do [18:24] Tiera: its a total / complete linux distribtuion [18:25] Burn it? [18:25] !install | Tiera [18:25] Tiera: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[18:25] No i need help from you [18:25] I read that already [18:25] Tiera: read the link and it will explain the install process [18:26] Ikonia, did you say that my X server is crashing or something else? [18:26] guestfoo: i'm not interested in helping you, as I said earlier [18:26] Guest21131: Depends ... 14.04 is (upstart) and 15.04 + (systemd) .. what release are you runinng, and what is the end goal ? [18:27] It crashed again, so I couldn't read what you said. [18:28] This is really bothering me. [18:28] guestfoo, if you're addressing someone in particular, use their nick [18:28] Im doing it now using a usb stick [18:29] What do i do after that [18:29] Restart? [18:29] The only bright side about this is that my typing skills are getting faster. [18:30] Tiera: Did you verify the .iso download (md5sum ) did you burn to USB at a slow speed? If the burn is complete next is to "check the device for defects" . [18:30] Gosh dang it to heck. [18:30] ok [18:30] Is it possible to use mouse scroll in htop ? [18:32] Can i install wine without ubuntu and just linux [18:32] I managed to join IRC from a different computer, and watch as my laptop crashes all the time. [18:33] linux doens't exist as you're describing it - it's a distirbution [18:33] That depends on your package manager, I think? [18:33] Tiera: it depends on what linux distribution you're running [18:33] bcx, you can just use the arrow keys and Page Up / Page Down [18:33] ikonia: Tell me again what you said about the X server. This time it won't crash, hopefully. [18:33] guestfoo: no [18:34] ikonia: What?

My recent installation of LXDM could be related to this. [18:37] Is it possible with pulse audio to move an audio stream (music in crome) to an input device? [18:37] Say a mic of some sort [18:38] hey all. i run 15.04 on a linode vps, it runs an api I built, I noticed around 2am I got a bunch of timeout errors. Checking my system stats, at the exact same time my CPU and disk usage spiked. User CPU usage went to 125% and disk hit 172 ops/s [18:38] Any way for me to see what the heck is happening at that time? [18:38] Dumle29: you can't output ot an input [18:38] ikonia: So no loop? [18:38] I want to play some music over my mumble server [18:38] Dumle29: not really [18:38] :/ [18:38] Dumle29: you could output to the mumble "input" device file [18:38] Dumle29: but not a physical device [18:38] well that'd be fine :) [18:39] stan_man_can: talk to linnode [18:39] a virtual input device would be fine [18:39] Dumle29: look at the input device mumble is using, and just tell pulse to output to that device [18:39] Dumle29: have you tried jackd and etc? [18:40] ikonia: It's using my mic atm [18:40] SchrodingersScat: Nope, what is that? [18:40] Dumle29: that mic will reference an audio input device file [18:40] Dumle29: point your output at that device file [18:40] SchrodingersScat: A quick google shows me it's for one a gay dating app xD [18:40] Dumle29: I used to pipe random pandora music through mumble using the jack tools.

When we left off yesterday we had proved that the problem is in PulseAudio only.

[20:30] I've got Mythtv working properly with Lirc [20:30] sebass_rebellion: 15.04 looses support in 3 months. so you need to upgrade to 15.10 before you can upgrade to 16.04. if you dont like upgrading that often better stay on LTS releases (14.04) [20:30] Knight80: it's a few years since I messed with that stuff, sorry.

I want my ubuntu back , i dont care for my xp [20:31] oldgrump: Mac's a re a sub-species. Generally, for UEFI boot, the device must have an EFI System Partition (which has a unique GUID). Does the flash device have such? [20:32] oldgrump: is it a macbook? [20:32] k1l_: yes [20:32] TJ-: The flash memory stick has a GPT partition table with 2 primary partitions. [20:32] iirc they need some sort of extra work. but i dont know since i dont have applehardware. [20:33] The flash memory stick boots fine on a 2005 Dell PC [20:33] The 2011 MBP doesn't recognize the flash memory stick as a boot disk [20:33] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro [20:33] oldgrump: I'd suspect the 2005 PC isn't UEFI but BIOS, and therefore doesn't need an EFI System Partition === user is now known as Guest52826 [20:34] k1l_: I'll check the article, thanks [20:34] oldgrump: a pastebin of "gdisk -l /dev/sdX" of the flash device would help here [20:34] Hello, I'm having trouble updating I think it is because of /boot being full of old kernels. What is scary is that it looks like my current kernel is only partially installed. I'm not sure what to do [20:34] TJ-: Will provide. paste.ubuntu.org? [20:34] k1l_: oldgrump I think it needs Rob's EFI boot helper, refind or whatever its called [20:34] motaka2, I ask about kernels because when you get updates and have some graphic drivers, you need to reload them, the symptoms are what you mention.

[20:40] maby its Locked [20:40] http://pastebin.com/Yn0zuDSy [20:40] motaka2: boot from a Live ISO image, check for I/O errors in the logs that come from that internal hard drive, test it with 'smartctl -a' [20:40] TJ-: gdisk isn't available on the Lubuntu desktop CD. Will parted --list work? [20:41] whodevil: don't worry about the unconfigured state - that is a symptom of the fact that the initial ramdisk couldn't be created because /boot/ is out of space. We fix that after removing the old kernels [20:41] oldgrump: Yes, that will, thanks [20:42] tj does an ubuntu DVD helps the issue ? [20:42] whodevil: "sudo apt-get remove linux-{image,headers}-3.13.0-{45,51,52,53,54,55}-generic; sudo apt-get -f install; sudo apt-get autoremove" [20:43] motaka2: Yes, that will allow the PC to boot from it without touching the hard drive [20:43] please i need a help on javascript [20:43] !ask | segun [20:43] segun: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [20:43] I dont find it if tomorrows I buy a higher version would that work ?

[21:01] whats the latest release of ubuntu that uses the 2.6.x kernel? [21:02] Caplain: there is no supported release anymore [21:03] Caplain: 12.04 came with 3.2 [21:03] Caplain 12.04 is the oldest supported release and it has 3.2 [21:03] crap [21:03] wI guess it bye bye Ubuntu for me... [21:03] i have an elo apr touchscreen and the driver segfaults for 3.x [21:04] some one knows a good repo for Davinci Linux? [21:04] TaChY wrong channel, not supported here [21:04] Caplain, 11.04 Natty Narwhal 2.6.38 [21:04] k [21:04] TaChY: this channel here is strict technical ubuntu support. for general chat see #ubuntu-offtopic or ##chat [21:04] whodevil: looking now [21:05] Xfcej-811-1, thank you sir. i've been trying to get kodi running on lucid 10.04 and it wasn't fun at all [21:05] dont found a channel... [21:05] lol Caplain , im not much techincal i just googled it [21:06] wow, i fail, then. sorry about that :/ google got me lucid and that's been a pain [21:06] Caplain 10.04 stopped breathing some time ago... [21:06] define "breathing" :P [21:06] whodevil: OK, so I think we have to manually 'poke' it by force-removing the older initial ramdisk images to make space. [21:06] Caplain, i barely upgraded to willy i got some errors [21:06] but i did it [21:07] ahhh [21:07] !10.04 | Caplain [21:07] Caplain: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended May 9 2013. Server support ended on April 30 2015. See http://ubottu.com/y/lucid for more details. [21:07] whodevil: "sudo rm /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-{45,51,52,53,54,55}-generic" ... then rerun the previous command set [21:07] !11.04 [21:07] Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) was the fourteenth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on October 28, 2012. See !upgrade, !lts and !eol for more details. [21:07] !eol [21:07] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [21:07] oldgrump: looking [21:07] Caplain: 12.04 is the oldest release still supported [21:07] TJ-, I could really use your help [21:08] k1l_, and it doesn't support elo afaik [21:08] TJ-: I think I'm one step ahead of you, I removed a couple of the older images and it was able to force update! thanks for your support!! [21:08] now I need to figure out how to not let this happen again [21:08] Caplain why do you want to use unsupported releases? [21:08] whodevil: Great! I was away sorting out 100+ apple pies being cooked :D [21:08] !lts [21:08] LTS means Long Term Support. Until 12.04 LTS versions of Ubuntu were supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; since 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) LTS versions will be supported for 5 years on the desktop and server. The latest LTS version of Ubuntu is !Trusty (Trusty Tahr 14.04) [21:09] whodevil: keep an eye on the kernels installed. The /boot/ partition is too small really, a known fault with the installer, as well as the not-cleaning-out-old-kernels [21:09] MonkeyDust, the elo apr driver segfaults in kernel version 3 [21:09] TJ-: Thanks. The wiki has an entry for 14.04 on MacBookPro8,2, but not 15.10 :( [21:09] when i try to boot ubuntu i get a purple splash screen and thats it [21:09] oldgrump: So, as I thought, the Kingston DataTraveler doesn't have an EFI System Partition and therefore isn't EFI bootable [21:09] Caplain and what is that used for? [21:10] oldgrump: as regards 14.04 vs 15.10.... boot-wise you can assume the config and process is identical [21:10] TJ-: How did you determine this, and why is it so? [21:10] Caplain: well, 2.6 is really long time ago. so why not get a patch for the new kernels? [21:10] TJ-, do you know any good script to clean old kernels, last time i upgraded from 14.10 to 15.04 it cleaned by itself but when i upgraded from 15.04 to 15.10 it did not [21:10] how can i troublseshoot video issues [21:10] oldgrump: you see in the parted output, for sda its partition #1 is "EFI system partition" but sdb doesn't have one [21:11] Yes [21:11] why would you clean an old kernel? [21:11] TJ-: Can a create an EFI partition? [21:11] how can i troubleshoot video issues with ubuntu 15.04 [21:11] oldgrump: An EFI system parition is a small (< 512MB) FAT file-system containing EFI boot-loader files for every OS installed on the device. [21:11] MonkeyDust, its a driver to my elo touchscreen. it makes the screen all touchy. a patch? i'd love one [21:11] got one? [21:12] oldgrump: Yes, if you free up some space for it by shrinking one of the existing partitions [21:12] guys ? anyone [21:12] jimbow, i never go back to an old one and i thougnt it might occupy space on the already small boot partition [21:12] Caplain: talk to elo [21:12] TJ-: I can wipe the device and start over. Please direct me to instructions for creating the EFI partition. [21:12] is writing a kernel hard? [21:12] k1l_, yeah...i should. but their elo apr's are no longer supported lol.... [21:12] fml [21:12] devslash2: /var/log/Xorg.*.log is the primary place to look; but also the logs under /var/log/lightdm/ and, if the user starts to log-in but fails, /home/$USER/.xsession-errors [21:12] jimbow 'hard' depends on how skilled you are [21:13] TJ-, i cannot do anything in recovery mode [21:13] my dad used to beat me as a child and he beat me so hard i ended up in the hospital and became retarded from being hit so much and then my dad felt really bad and now tries to help me out [21:13] my keyboard doesnt work right [21:13] but i'm trying [21:13] i'm not very good but i want to learn [21:13] keys dont respond or have a very long delay [21:13] devslash2: OK, so that points to possibly a more serious hardware issue going on [21:14] well i dont think so i can dual boot windows on the same computer [21:14] devslash2: I'm wondering if the storage device is/has failed and there are background I/O errors. Can you boot the system using a Live ISO image? [21:14] jimbow, you want to learn how to write kernels? [21:14] its something in ubuntu [21:14] yes [21:14] but i have poor javascript skills [21:14] devslash2: Hmmm... Live ISO boot would still help. It'll give you a stable platform to diagnose the problem from [21:14] TJ-, thats gonna take some time i have to download and flash the iso [21:14] jimbow, good luck with that [21:15] TJ-, can i use the regular installation ubuntu iso [21:15] devslash2: in the long run it may well save you time, and frustration. Before you do that, have you tried booting with older kernels listed in the GRUB boot manager menu at startup (under the Advanced sub-menu) ? [21:15] yes [21:15] devslash2: same issue? [21:15] let me try the oldest one [21:16] uff [21:16] devslash2: if it affects all kernels I have to suspect a faulty hardware device. Have you connected something new recently? I often recommend unplugging all but essential devices, especially anything USB [21:16] tj when i choose an older one it hangs at loading initial ramdisk [21:16] no i havent added anything [21:16] in fact ive removed pretty much everything except the keyboard [21:17] Xfcej-811-1: how can i learn? [21:17] a0rora: a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora a0rora [21:17] Sorry [21:17] Bad script [21:17] devslash2: OK... try again, but before you boot the entry, edit it. highlight the entry, press 'E', navigate to the line starting "linux ...", delete "quiet splash" add "text debug", then press Ctrl+X too boot with the modified command line. You'll get lots of kernel messages (debug output) and it won't try to start the GUI, so you can log-in at a console [21:17] jimbow, you must be prepared body and soul, so you have to go to the gym for at least 8 years [21:18] daily [21:18] ok [21:18] i didn't expect you to be trolling [21:19] TJ-, i did that but all om getting is a purple splash screen [21:19] justl ike before [21:21] devslash2: that's the "Plymouth" splash screen; pressing Escape should dismiss it and show the console [21:21] nope nothin [21:21] oldgrump: I'm having difficulty finding a simple clean set of instructions for creating just the EFI SP! [21:22] devslash2: Hmm, possibly hung by that point. Something seriously wrong there [21:22] I swear every time I give Ubuntu another chance, something happens and it stops working completely. [21:22] help me [21:22] i am install debian [21:23] i am install team viewer [21:23] Hello can anyone make some stuff clear? === kerdel is now known as Hardcore7 [21:23] english9090: then please ask in #debian for debian help [21:23] i am joke [21:24] i am need helo for my driver uadio in my ubuntu [21:24] what kind of stoff [21:24] I just got a note that I can upgrade to ubuntu 15.10; but can some stuff break because of it? [21:24] TJ-: https://superuser.com/questions/764799/how-to-create-an-efi-system-partition [21:24] ^looks promising [21:24] Hardcore7: always a possibility, of course [21:24] Like: I'm currently using gnome-shell 3.14; will something change for me? [21:24] Still not sure about the details [21:24] oldgrump: this looks almost identical to your situation, if you amend the existing USB image rather than starting from scratch: http://askubuntu.com/questions/84501/how-can-i-change-convert-a-ubuntu-mbr-drive-to-a-gpt-and-make-ubuntu-boot-from [21:24] Hardcore7: for murphys law: better have a backup :) [21:25] Hardcore7: if it ain't broken, don't fix it, methinks :P [21:25] k1l_: How can I make a full backup? [21:25] !backup | Hardcore7 [21:25] Hardcore7: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [21:25] garibaldi [21:25] bprompt: so true, but I love to experiment as a developer myself ;) [21:25] !clonezilla | Hardcore7 === anonymous is now known as Guest91115 [21:25] Hardcore7 do you have free space left somewhere, an eternal drive or so? [21:25] oldgrump: your link confuses the issue with Windows being involved, like many of the pages I looked at [21:26] external* [21:26] Hardcore7: then, you should know by now whether it would or wouldn't break something :), and you'd have the answer I'd think [21:27] devslash2: can you cause it to drop to the initial ramdisk busybox shell at least? on the kernel command line add "break=init" (and remove "quiet splash") before pressing Ctrl+X to boot the modified command [21:27] TJ-: agreed. I may wipe the stick, make a fresh GPT with small FAT32 part at the top. Tell Lubuntu to put it's bootloader in there [21:27] bprompt: Yes kinda, but i've read they implented gnome in 15.10, does this mean it will automatically upgrade my version to that one? or is it a fork? [21:27] oldgrump: To install a UEFI the Live Installer MUST also boot in UEFI mode, else it won't have access to the host system's UEFI services [21:28] TJ-: Will that make the disk compliant with the MacBook's bootable disk requirements? [21:28] Hardcore7 use a live dvd or usb to find out what's new [21:28] TJ-, i can get it to the recovery shell [21:28] Hardcore7: well, and upgrade is an upgrade, not an update per se, so... I'd expect it to replace it, no update it [21:28] I just go upgrade, to lazy for a backup :^) ill report back [21:28] bprompt: ok, thanks ill try it [21:28] oldgrump: I'm not sure; I've avoided messing with Mac EFI implementations for a good reason :) The Ubuntu Mac/EFI guide seems very comprehensive on the subject though [21:28] TJ-: That means I have to boot the 64bit ISO on the MBP, right? [21:29] Hardcore7: but get something like "clonezilla", to "image" your partition, in case you don't like the upgrade, or you need to rollback [21:29] devslash2: Right, but you said the system lagged at that point. I was wondering if the same thing affects the busybox shell before the root file-system is mounted [21:29] oldgrump: Yes, I believe it would do [21:29] TJ-: I mean UEFI isn't even supported on 32 bit OS right? [21:30] bprompt: I'd setup my whole linux installation to perfect in 2-3 days which I did this week. It's worth a try :P [21:30] oldgrump: Lately it is, yes, we do have the ability to do 32-bit EFI boot ... but I don't think it's on the installer images for i386 (32-bit) as yet. [21:30] some one knows how to export files from a drive that is overrited wiht a UBuntu? [21:31] TaChY you mean recover? [21:31] TJ-, i added break=init and some problem [21:31] * oldgrump is behind the times [21:31] yes [21:31] !recover | TaChY [21:31] TaChY: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [21:32] devslash2: It didn't go to the busybox shell, or it did but the keyboard input lagged? [21:33] mmh not full understand my problem... [21:33] I erasde my drive with a new installation... is it possible to recover it after this action [21:34] TaChY: try photorec [21:34] TaChY: did u write anything to the disk yet? [21:35] yes [21:35] i need the ISO that was before on drive [21:35] TJ-, same purple splash screen [21:35] or the fikes inside [21:35] files** [21:36] TaChY: hm.. I think you will get poor recovery results if u already wrote new contents on the disk [21:36] irc.serenia.net [21:36] is it not possible to reload the raw before [21:37] TaChY: no. you can try to read some parts, that are still not overridden, but dont expect too much data to be restored [21:37] wot to do this [21:37] devslash2: Are you using Ctrl+X to execute the modified kernel command-line? [21:38] TaChY: read into "photorec" [21:38] ok thx [21:38] no F10 [21:38] devslash2: because it sounds to me as if what is starting is not the modified line - removing 'splash' will prevent plymouth splash screen being started in the initrd. [21:39] TJ-, ctrl x inserts a new line so i press F10 is that ok [21:40] devslash2: Ctrl+X ... means hold down Ctrl, press X, release both. Is that what you do? [21:40] TJ-, yes [21:40] it adds a newlinw [21:40] devslash2: In which case the keyboard translation is VERY off! [21:40] devslash2: what PC make/model is this? [21:40] a custom built [21:40] ubuntu worked fine until the other night [21:41] devslash2: mobo make/model? [21:41] devslash2: is your locale English or something else? [21:41] asus sabertooth 990FX R2.0 [21:41] english [21:41] devslash2: I guess locale is en_US-UTF-8 [21:42] devslash2: If Ctrl+X causes GRUB to insert a new-line then something is VERY wrong. [21:42] Xorg.o.log shows a message Display (Samsung (DFP-2)) does not support NVIDIA 3D VISION [21:42] devslash2: We all get that :) [21:42] ok [21:44] TJ-, now when i press ctrl x it adds X [21:44] x [21:44] as if i didnt press ctrl [21:44] if ubuntu 15.10 runs on kernel 4.2 and I've already been running 4.2.4, will it install and use the 4.2 one over the one I had? [21:44] Hardcore7: mainline kernel? it will stay on the one mainline you installed manually [21:45] k1l_: ok, thanks; will my grub config edits persist? [21:45] depends on how you made the edits [21:46] devslash2: Does the keyboard have some weird meta keys that alter keyboard actions. What you describe is SO inconsistent it sounds like a firmware/hardware misbehaviour [21:47] Hardcore7: if you edited the scripts yes, they wll stay the same === sins-_o is now known as sins- [21:47] k1l_: great, thank you [21:47] whno the [21:47] TJ-, no [21:48] i dont get it i didnt do a thing and it just started doing this [21:49] devslash2: silly ideas time now: have you completely powered off the system and forced the capacitors to drain (removed power connector, pressed power button, left to stand for a couple minutes) ? [21:50] i can try that === Corey84 is now known as linux-modder [21:52] i have another physical drive with windows that boots normally [21:52] devslash2: hang on. Are you saying the PC has 2 physical drives, 1 with Windows on, 1 with Ubuntu? [21:53] yes [21:53] TJ-, hello. what version of ubuntu you use? [21:54] TJ-, i have problem, that my cursor dissapear in terminal when i typing... i don't like this feature, is there way to disable this? [21:54] i have ubuntu 15.04 [21:54] How to burn a disc from command line in Lubuntu? [21:54] hi anyone uses chrome remote desktop? [21:54] TJ-, does that matter? [21:54] devslash2: At the beginning of all this I said the hard drive may have I/O errors. When you said Windows starts fine I took you mean both OS are on the same drive. Now, we're back to what I said - the drive has I/O errors and/or is corrupt [21:55] my computer mode, it runs as new user. not current user.. is this normal? [21:55] devslash2: so, I'm going to bet the drive with Ubuntu on had, or still has, I/O errors causing corruption and delays [21:55] is it the same harddrive?? [21:55] devslash2: which comes back to booting from a Live ISO, and then testing the drive and checking the logs [21:55] ubunt-stutio 14.x as xubun 14x [21:55] so its like vnc. not x11vnc [21:56] loa: I seem to recall some GUI terminal emulators have an option in their settings to hide the cursor whilst typing. Check the terminals' options [21:56] TJ- is it the same hdd [21:56] TJ-, i tried, i don't see such feature in gui [21:56] with remote mode, google id1 --- google id2 runs normal. [21:57] TaChY: As devslash2 just said, apparently not. Two drives: 1 Windows, 1 Ubuntu. Ubuntu fails to start and behaves in randomly 'wrong' ways [21:57] Hi, trying to install Ubuntu 14.04.03 (on a live session right now) as a dual-boot with Win10 on an Asus UX501 Zenbook. I keep getting "grub2-efi-adm64-signed failed to install to /target/" - I've not been able to find an answer online. I've disabled SRT on Win10 and disabled SecureBoot via BIOS. Can anyone shed a little light on this? [21:57] but my computer mode. google id 1 --- google id 1 ie same ID. then new user.. = new desktop not desktop1,2,3 [21:57] maby drive is locked? [21:57] TaChY: 'locked'? no, it has/is corrupting data [21:58] problem is sound volume control. 2nd user can't control sound.. because main user hold sound dev.. [22:00] SimpleAnecdote: well, the -signed images are for SecureBoot. The path your report looks wrong in as much as /target/ is the mountpoint for the root of the system being built, but the file would go to /target/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/. Dropping to a shell prompt and checking some of the installer logs under /var/log/ might help. syslog would be my first port of call [22:03] @TJ: System refuses to open shell after installer crashes. The touchpad responds, so does most of the interface, but nothing opens up or closes down. So I'm not sure how to save those logs. I'm pointing the boot loder installation to my dev/sda1 which holds Windows Boot Manager. [22:04] Can someone help me? Ubuntu isn't recognising any game CDs I insert, it only sees them as audio discs... === dougiel is now known as dougl [22:07] SimpleAnecdote: that should be correct, if it is the EFI system partition (a small FAT file-system ) [22:08] SimpleAnecdote: I've seem some PCs recently using NTFS for the EFI-SP though; make sure you don't have such else I can imagine it failing [22:09] TJ: Yeah, type efi, size 104mb, used 33mb, system Windows Boot Manager - but no dice. [22:10] think a linux have to run on Extparts [22:11] TaChY: If that was directed at me - I'm insalling Ubuntu unto /dev/sda5 which is an ext4 [22:11] kk === setkeh is now known as KiraYameto [22:11] Can anyone help me with my problem? All discs are being read as audio CDs... === KiraYameto is now known as setkeh [22:12] installing from disc or usb [22:12] TaChY: Live USB created with latest image from Ubuntu site and UNetBootin [22:12] SimpleAnecdote: hmm, you're booting the installer in 'Try Ubuntu' mode ? [22:13] SimpleAnecdote: has the same error happened more than once? [22:13] TJ: I've tried both by now. Right now I'm in "Try Ubuntu without installing" mode. [22:13] where it stacks? [22:13] TJ: 3 times, twice in "Try Ubuntu" mode, once in "Install Ubuntu". [22:13] cobracommand, Try right click and open with or from the game gui if there is one, in settings is detaols which has a default tab [22:13] details* [22:14] SimpleAnecdote: In 'Try Ubuntu' mode you can do things indepedently, is my point. I'd start it that way, open a terminal, do "tail -f /var/log/syslog" then start the installer. At every stage you can then see, in the terminal, what the installer is up to. That might help you catch some clue as to the reason for the failure. [22:14] cobradabest: you mean windows game cds? [22:14] SimpleAnecdote: but before that; have you check the hash (checksum) of the installed image on the USB itself, to ensure no corruption was introduced when it was written? [22:15] cobracommand, Sorry bad tab. [22:15] TJ: Will do the tail right now, I hope it doesn't get stuck though. I've done "Check disc for" option from the menu when I booted from the USB [22:16] SimpleAnecdote: Good. Nice to see someone that has done the groundwork :) [22:17] SimpleAnecdote: if you have a 2nd Linux PC, you could install openssh-server in the 'Try Ubuntu' session, and connect over SSH to it, and then run tail -f ... from there. If the PC locks up you have the log on another PC. [22:18] TJ: Excellent idea! I am travelling but indeed happen to have a 2nd Linux laptop with me. I'm hating on this dual-boot but just bought a nice laptop with graphics card and have some Windows only games. I figured I might as well, right... Been exclusively Linux for so long though I forgot what a hassle it was to have Windows on there as well. [22:19] TJ-: u dont know a tool to recover parts from harddrive that are overwrited [22:20] TaChY: yes, detailed in the link MonkeyDust pointed you to an hour or more ago. Testdisk/photorec and other friends [22:20] TaChY: whats wrong with the answers already given? [22:21] k1l_: Yeah, Quake 2 to be exact. [22:21] only files from this ISO found that is running [22:21] cobradabest: see wine for running windows stuff on ubuntu [22:21] SimpleAnecdote: you might want to pipe the remote ssh 'tail' into a local file so you can capture the entire backlog, not just the bit that remains if the installer freezes up [22:21] !wine | cobradabest [22:21] cobradabest: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [22:22] k1l_: I have wine installed, but linux itself would usually recognise the cd and add a directory, but it doesn't... [22:23] TJ: Running the tail from the live session right now. My hope is because it's already open, it will remain working because the interface is not stuck, just not opening or closing any windows. If it won't work, I'll probably get disconnected for a bit, and I'll being my 2nd laptop out and start saving the tail data via ssh. What a pain ;P [22:23] TJ: Thanks for the help btw! [22:25] TJ: same error. No output though [22:26] There was 0 output through the installation until it encountered the issue. And there's nothing now as well [22:27] k1l_: Do you know how I can fix the issue with the CDs? Wine works fine, but ubuntu/cinnamon/nemo isn't recognising a game CD, just as an audio one... [22:27] SimpleAnecdote: which release is it? maybe its logging to a different file now [22:27] TJ: Oh! I managed to see something in the installer command line though! "failed to call apt install grub2..." something [22:27] SimpleAnecdote: SystemD has caused many things to change in the logging department [22:27] SimpleAnecdote: if you have control still, look under /var/log/apt/ I think it is (history.log) [22:28] TJ: Could this be as simple as running "apt-get update" before I install? [22:28] TJ: still have control. What should I do? [22:29] SimpleAnecdote: well, it could be, but I'd suspect there may be other issues as knock-ons. Worth a try, although you'll have to chroot into the /target/ and ensure the EFI SP is mounted under the chroot /boot/efi/ [22:30] TJ: /var/log/apt/history.log has no mention of anything to do with "efi" [22:31] SimpleAnecdote: on efi, at some point "grub-efi" should be installed, which depends on a bunch of efi-specific packages [22:31] TJ: there are a few grub2 [22:31] SimpleAnecdote: in the chroot do "apt list 'grub*' " [22:31] SimpleAnecdote: see what is installed especially [22:33] TJ: sudo chroot /target/ - "chroot: failed to run command '/bin/bash': No such file or directory [22:33] no chance to recover deleted data with these tools... works good if something gonna be lost but not for that i am looking for.. THX [22:35] Can someone PLEASE help me? Ubuntu isn't mounting CDs properly! [22:35] SimpleAnecdote: Hmmm, maybe the system already unmounted the root file-system? check "mount | grep /target" [22:36] TJ: nothing. [22:36] TaChY: photorec searches the surface of a device looking for anything that looks like a file and tries to recover it to another disk, then its up to you to stitch things back together [22:36] SimpleAnecdote: OK, so you need to identify and re-mount it [22:36] SimpleAnecdote: do you know the /dev/sdXY of the root-file system, or is it LVM? [22:36] TJ: I ran the command "apt list grub*" without chroot and I got a list. I'm not sure it's relevant [22:37] Is there any1 can help me connecting a mysql DB from a c++ ? [22:37] I tried to build the connector's source from scratch and it still giving me errors [22:38] TJ: It's not LVM. Not sure how to find out the /dev/sdXY of the root-filesystem on the live session? [22:38] but its really nice eraised... dontknow how xp its a betaversion [22:38] i google fore some hints [22:38] SimpleAnecdote: correct; any commands we run like that need to operate inside the chroot of the newly built system [22:39] SimpleAnecdote: "sudo blkid" [22:39] :) [22:39] TJ: Ran that. But don't know to identify the correct one for the live cd [22:40] SimpleAnecdote: "sudo blkid | nc termbin.com 9999" [22:40] TJ: way ahead of you - http://paste.ubuntu.com/12933137/ [22:40] Well, not that ahead ;P [22:41] SimpleAnecdote: I assume the target also has Windows on? [22:41] To burn a disc from command line: cdrecord linux.iso (https://launchpad.net/~brandonsnider/+archive/ubuntu/cdrtools) [22:43] TJ: The EFI has Windows Boot Record. I've got 1 physical drive. I've shrunk down the Windows partition so I'd have a free partition for Ubuntu. [22:43] I have to use "nomodeset" kernel line option to boot the disc. Why? [22:43] SimpleAnecdote: in which case that output indicates /dev/sda is the target device, and if its UEFI system, /dev/sda1 will be the EFI SP, 3 and 4 are both NTFS, so that leaves sda5 [22:44] TJ: sda5 is what I'm trying to install Ubuntu unto - sorry, I knew that but didn't understand what we were trying to find out. My apolohies [22:44] apologies* [22:44] Hello. What would be the proper place to set PATH for a particular user? [22:44] TJ: sudo chroot /dev/sda5 - same error... [22:44] SimpleAnecdote: "sudo mount /dev/sda5 /target [22:45] Some forums say pam_environment, some say /etc/environment, some say .profile .. Im confused [22:45] TJ: mounter [22:45] mounted* [22:45] SimpleAnecdote: then do this (before chroot!) ... [22:46] SimpleAnecdote: "for n in proc sys dev dev/pts etc/resolv.conf; do sudo mount --bind /$n /target/$n; done" [22:46] SimpleAnecdote: now you can do "sudo chroot /target" [22:46] bs0d: for user i would recomment .profile in users home [22:46] crap i forgot to hold down option, now i have to wait for eternity for osx to boot. guess i'll just play minecraft :( [22:46] TJ: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12933270/ [22:47] SimpleAnecdote: OK, now do "pastebinit /var/log/installer/debug" (inside the chroot) [22:48] SimpleAnecdote: sorry! OUTSIDE the chroot [22:48] TJ: should I apt-get install pasteint inside the chroot a swell? [22:48] hello..any editors available where i can edit file directly over ssh rather than copying it back and forth? [22:48] How do I fix my fstab file? I think it's broken. [22:48] SimpleAnecdote: Grrr, I'm dopey tonight [22:48] elosz: ssh is a remote terminal shell; just use the tools on the remote [22:49] elosz: try nano or any other cli editor. [22:49] elosz: or try ssh -X to load the gui editor on the client machine [22:49] TJ: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12933344/ [22:50] TJ-: I need IDE [22:50] okay k1l_ [22:50] SimpleAnecdote: ok, no clues there! Meanwhile, back in the chroot... ! [22:51] SimpleAnecdote: "mount -a" and then "pastebinit <( mount )" [22:51] Can someone PLEASE help me?! [22:53] TJ- Sorry, I don't quite follow. Run "mount -a" inside chroot. Then exit, and run "pastebinit mount -a" ? [22:53] Can anyone explain how to add a user to the sudoers list? I think I need to edit a file in /etc/sudousers.d, but I can't find any details on how to edit it. [22:53] SimpleAnecdote: no, inside the chroot for everything now. pastebinit ought to be installed, or at least available to install [22:53] blacklab: consider adding these users to the sudo group [22:54] blacklab: "man sudoers", or as bs0d said for general access [22:54] blacklab: put the users into the sudo group. than they can run sudo without editing the sudoers [22:54] Okay, I'll try adding to sudousers group. thx [22:55] TJ-: can't install pastebinit while inside chroot (could not resolve us.archive.ubuntu.com). But the result from "mount -a" are: mount: special device UUID=C0E4-066B does not exist [22:56] SimpleAnecdote: that is weird; I deliberately had you bind-mount the /etc/resolv.conf inside the chroot so DNS would work [22:57] SimpleAnecdote: this suggests the original "for n in ..." may not have fully worked. [22:57] SimpleAnecdote: OUTSIDE the chroot, please do "pastebinit <( mount )" so we can check that [22:57] TJ-: hang on, I might have missed something then. I don't remember mounting /etc/ [22:58] SimpleAnecdote: "for n in proc sys dev dev/pts etc/resolv.conf; do sudo mount --bind /$n /target/$n; done" [22:58] TJ-:http://paste.ubuntu.com/12933561/ [22:58] SimpleAnecdote: ahhh, I think you must have missed that command! None of those are mounted [22:58] TJ-: k1l_ I got the error "X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0" [22:59] Hi. Can anyone suggest how to write applet for system tray (or how is it called in XFCE), like clock or XChat indicator, or Skype icon? [22:59] TJ-: yeah, that didn't appear before. Anyway, here is from inside chroot - http://paste.ubuntu.com/12933585/ [22:59] SimpleAnecdote: that command mounts the important kernel file-systems into the target [23:00] SimpleAnecdote: great, that looks good. Notice /dev/sda1 is mounted at /boot/efi (that is the EFI SP) [23:00] SimpleAnecdote: now you can try "apt-get install grub-efi grub-efi-amd64-signed" [23:01] TJ-: from inside chroot? [23:01] SimpleAnecdote: yes [23:01] elosz: try this http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-fix-x11-forwarding-request-failed-on-channel-0/ [23:01] TJ- done [23:01] worked [23:02] SimpleAnecdote: OK, in theory it should have added an entry for Ubuntu to the PC's UEFI boot menu [23:02] SimpleAnecdote: "pastebinit <( efibootmgr -v )" [23:02] TJ-: reboot and try it out? Also, has the OS completed to install because the installation stopped when grub failed. [23:02] Is it possible to take a trackball mouse and remap the trackball input to scrolling input? [23:02] SimpleAnecdote: we'll check that soon [23:03] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12933655/ [23:03] SimpleAnecdote: OK, no Ubuntu entry, so I don't think GRUB is done yet [23:04] SimpleAnecdote: try "dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64-signed" [23:05] SimpleAnecdote: in theory, it should now do a grub-install and update-grub in the background of that call [23:06] TJ-: it finished pretty quickly. Re-ran efibootmgr -v - http://paste.ubuntu.com/12933718/ [23:06] TJ-: same [23:09] SimpleAnecdote: something not right here; INSIDE the chroot: "pastebinit <( ls -l /sys/firmware/efi )" [23:10] net [23:10] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12933826/ [23:12] SimpleAnecdote: that's good - the system has EFI access. Let's try things manually: INSIDE chroot. "grub-install |& tee /tmp/gi.log; pastebinit /tmp/gi.log" [23:12] tell me as WebcamMax program for ubuntu [23:12] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12933858/ [23:14] SimpleAnecdote: aha! we make progress. " pastebinit < ( ls -l /boot/efi/ ) " [23:15] http://en.uptodown.com/ubuntu/search/webcam-max acer [23:15] TJ-: Woohoo! http://paste.ubuntu.com/12933887/ [23:17] SimpleAnecdote: OK, now I'm concerned! That should be /dev/sda1, the EFI SP, and should have an EFI/ directory which would also have the Windows boot-loader in a sub-dir. Nothing there now. Previously you showed a 'mount' output that said "/dev/sda1 on /boot/efi type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro)" and that seems to have gone missing [23:17] SimpleAnecdote: Do "mount -a" again, then do "mount" and see if /dev/sda1 is mounted to /boot/efi [23:18] TJ-: /dev/sda1 on /boot/efi type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro) [23:18] Still there it seems [23:18] SimpleAnecdote: does "ls -l /boot/efi/" show the EFI/ dir now [23:19] TJ-: No "total 0" [23:19] bazhang: program not working [23:19] SimpleAnecdote: This is worrying; on the face of it the system can no longer boot itself from that disk, Windows nor Ubuntu [23:19] tell me as WebcamMax program for ubuntu :) [23:20] TJ-: Not good, yeah [23:20] SimpleAnecdote: if you recall, efibootmgr reported for Windows its boot-loader is "\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi" [23:20] SimpleAnecdote: in case something weird is going on: "umount /dev/sda1; mount /dev/sda1; ls -l /boot/efi/" [23:21] TJ-: from inside chroot? [23:21] SimpleAnecdote: Yes [23:21] TJ-: "umount: /boot/efiL not mounted [23:22] TJ-: "umount: /boot/efi: not mounted" [23:22] SimpleAnecdote: does 'mount' go on to mount it though? [23:22] TJ-: hang on... I think I copied the command wrong [23:23] TJ-: no, it was fine. [23:23] SimpleAnecdote: lets look at the file-system table to ensure my assumptions are correct: "pastebinit /etc/fstab" [23:23] !equivalents | acer have a check [23:23] acer have a check: A comprehensive list of of Windows-equivalent applications in Linux can be found at http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WhatWindowsUsersWant [23:23] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12934025/ [23:24] acer not working wont get much support, you need to be very detailed on what exactly does not work with a pastebin of errors [23:24] SimpleAnecdote: ah! it's using the UUIDs. OK "umount /boot/efi; mount /boot/efi; ls -l /boot/efi/" [23:24] SimpleAnecdote: if umount fails don't worry; that's just ensuring that the following 'mount' will be doing something new [23:24] TJ-: "drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 1024 Jul 28 15:01 EFI" [23:24] SimpleAnecdote: *YAY* :D [23:24] TJ-: nothing failed === LoganG_ is now known as LoganG [23:25] SimpleAnecdote: "grub-install --verbose |& tee /tmp/gi.log; pastebinit /tmp/gi.log" [23:26] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12934088/ [23:26] TJ-: YAY? [23:26] SimpleAnecdote: Double YAY! [23:27] TJ-: So now what? [23:27] I'm trying to bring up an ethernet interface, and I'm getting the error, "RTNETLINK answers: File exists \n Failed to bring up eth5." I do not have any extra gateway entries, so none of the things I find by googling are helping. Can anyone here help? [23:27] SimpleAnecdote: "update-grub |& tee /tmp/ug.log; pastebinit /tmp/ug.log" [23:27] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12934128/ [23:28] SimpleAnecdote: *big sigh* ... I *think* that should boot now! Don't reboot for a few minutes though, let me think about it and we may do some more checking first. I need a coffee! [23:29] TJ-: OK, I'm hanging around here. Thanks again for all the help so far! [23:29] SimpleAnecdote: "pastebinit <( efibootmgr -v )" [23:30] I love the ubuntu terminal for it's transparency, but I do not like it lacks mouse support for cursor movement, a workaround for this? [23:30] Hi all, is an upgrade from 15.04 to 15.10 advisable for a desktop, or is the whole upgrade thing a mess? [23:30] Hello all. I have a strange problem. My wireless card can view all available networks. Two of my home networks are WPA/WPA2. I can connect to one of them but not the other using the NetworkManager gui. I haven't used linux in a few years so my diagnostic skills are not up to par to diagnose and fix this problem. i was hoping for some help. thanks in advance [23:31] scott_11: upgrades work. they get automated testing. but for murphys law its better to have backups [23:31] pressure679: get used to using the keyboard? the entire point of a terminal is you want hands-on not keep lifting off to operate a mouse [23:31] Ownasaurus: check /var/log/syslog and the wpa_supplicant/Network Manager messages in particular [23:32] TJ-: Using the keyboard is my problem, my fingers are getting sore, guess I should pause for some coffee or something :p [23:32] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12934195/ [23:32] pressure679: wow! I think so... I'm making a pot now, feel free to have one :) [23:32] ok, thanks, I have a backup, just interested in upgrading. Should I unload ati proprietary drivers first? [23:33] SimpleAnecdote: I think you should try a reboot! Remember to select Ubuntu at the PCs manual boot menu, because currently Windows is the default [23:33] TJ-: I'll reboot and hopefully log back in to report. I've allowed myself to raise my hopes up. [23:34] scott_11: I've seem some mention that the AMD/ATI fgrlx drivers have problems for 15.10, you may want to double-check that before starting [23:34] ok, thanks [23:34] what does nomodeset boot option do? [23:34] oldgrump: prevents Kernel video mode-setting code [23:34] ATI drivers are historically horrible in Linux, they only support certain graphics cards, certain versions of X11, etc. [23:35] Linux won't boot unless I give that option. [23:35] What might that mean? [23:35] TJ-: OK, let me get on IRC on my other computer so i can continue chatting while i debug this. thank so much. === viv`d is now known as vivid [23:35] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2300292&p=13378768#post13378768 [23:37] This is making my grumpy :( [23:39] oldgrump: does it start with a black screen without using 'nomodeset' ? [23:40] TJ-: I think I see something relevant. CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED reason=3 locally_generated=1 [23:40] Ownasaurus: that rings a bell for me, and I think the bell says "disable wifi device power management" [23:41] Ownasaurus: but as it only affects connections to 1 AP, that would seem unlikely. Can you pastebin the 100 lines or so of context either side of that message? [23:42] TJ-: sure, let me get that comp back on the web [23:42] TJ-: usually black screen with flashing underscore in upper right. Not a command line, no input accepted. [23:43] oldgrump: upper-right? hmmm, usually it is upper-left :) [23:43] TJ-: sometimes the boot process freezes with a rainbow spray of colored pixels all over the screen. [23:44] I'm trying to boot the desktop DVD on the MPB with nomodeset right now. It's making me grumpy. [23:44] oldgrump: the issue generally is caused because the GPU and driver aren't fully compatible; with 'nomodeset' the problem that comes up is no hardware accelerated (so-called 3D) graphics [23:45] the 14.04 desktop DVD boots just fine with nomodeset. [23:45] oldgrump: I think you need an Ubuntu/MacBook Pro owner. It might be worth using the Ubuntu forums where there is an area especially for such things. You may find existing solutions, it is a common issue [23:46] right [23:46] TJ-: I think I should just give up on 15.10. It won't boot :( [23:47] oldgrump: no point wasting time and getting frustrated, for sure [23:47] Maybe I'll install 14.04 on the USB stick. Or maybe I'll just give up completely [23:48] TJ-: Thanks for your patience. pastebin.com/Dpq6d6JZ . This includes the regular network failure (SSID without -den) and the network that works (SSID with -den) [23:50] TJ-: So good news bad news situation: Ubuntu gets booted into! But I have no Grub selection screen where I can select Windows... Also, I have "install RELEASE" on my Unity bar which seems to want to install the OS? [23:50] I learned about Grub2/ISOBoot yesterday and set it up. It was great. Recommended :) [23:50] TJ-: And things like scaling my display are not saved. [23:51] SimpleAnecdote: Well, with UEFI the entire point is the Motherboard is responsible for providing the boot menu, not GRUB. [23:51] is there a way to make dock icons smaller without myunity? [23:52] TJ-: Right, sorry. I meant have no selection screen. It just boots straight into Ubuntu. [23:52] SimpleAnecdote: I'm not sure about Unity; I don't use it, I use KDE/Kubuntu [23:52] SimpleAnecdote: that's because its the default being chosen I'd guess. If you hold down the Shift key jsut before GRUB is loaded you should get the grub boot menu [23:53] TJ-: I'll solve the Unity issues. But what about the "Install RELEASE" ? Could that be due to the installation not finishing correctly/ [23:53] ? [23:53] SimpleAnecdote: I've no idea but I doubt it, is this just static text being displayed, or some link to something? [23:54] TJ-: Link. Opens up installation screen [23:54] SimpleAnecdote: that sounds like the ISO installer image has started ! [23:54] SimpleAnecdote: are you sure its booted from the hard disk? "mount" and check the / device is /dev/sda5 [23:55] Hey TJ- I see you helping so many people. Thanks for everything you do. [23:56] TJ-: /dev/sda5 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro) [23:56] Ownasaurus: ha, you got my attention now. Didn't see the link you provided. is "steinberg-den" the AP connection that fails? [23:56] SimpleAnecdote: OK, so it is. Not sure what that link is about then! [23:57] SimpleAnecdote: is the installer USB still plugged in? maybe it's created a link to that? [23:57] no, DEN works. steinberg (without -den) does not work. its ok, take your time! its cool to see you help so many people [23:57] Ownasaurus: OK, let me re-read the log [23:58] TJ-: usb is out. It also doesn't say "Install UBuntu 14.04.03" like it did from the Live USB, it says "Install RELEASE" [23:58] Ownasaurus: line 61: " (wlan0): device state change: need-auth -> failed (reason 'no-secrets') [60 120 7]" [23:59] SimpleAnecdote: if you right-click it to get a context menu, is there a properties item, and does that provide a path to the target that we can use to figure out what it is?
