ash_workhowudodat: also, should I stop ncat before telnetting?00:00
howudodatyes kill ncat00:00
howudodatash_work: try from both00:00
ash_workhowudodat: on the local machine the connection was refused00:01
ash_workhowudodat: still trying on the container00:01
ash_workhowudodat: telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out00:03
=== phillips1012 is now known as solenoids
frostschutzaraph, you should be able to do this from the running system. was it regular swap or encrypted?00:08
howudodatash_work: you might need to add a -6 flag to your telnet-->telnet -6 localhost 9000, telnet -6 172.17.0.1 900000:08
araphfrostschutz, it was regular swap. I'd assigned it during OS installation, but then I think I had to change something in partitioning, and there the area lost its 'swap' quality00:09
ash_workhowudodat: telnet: could not resolve 172.17.0.1/9000: Address family for hostname not supported00:10
howudodatash_work:your computer's ip address is what?  and that is where you run atom?  outside of a docker container?00:11
ash_workhowudodat: yeah, atom is running outside the container00:12
ash_workhowudodat: I've allocated the IP as per: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30668090/how-can-i-debug-my-docker-container-with-phpstorm00:13
ash_workhowudodat: even though I'm not using PHPStorm00:13
howudodatash_work:can you pastebin your xdebug.ini?00:15
ash_workhowudodat: I don't have one. o.O;00:16
ash_workxdebug.so is there though00:16
frostschutzaraph, check your /etc/fstab, see if it has an fstab entry. apart from that it's just a matter of mkswap /dev/partition, swapon /dev/partition, blkid /dev/partition, and adding a swap entry for that UUID to fstab. you can find examples for this online or on any other machine that is using swap00:16
ash_workhowudodat: whose path is given for zend_extension= in php.ini00:16
frostschutzaraph, make 140% sure that you're using the correct partition though or you will lose your data ;)00:16
ash_workhowudodat: and xdebug shows up in phpinfo()00:17
howudodatash_work: it seems that there is something not quite configured right with your xdebug.  Sadly I dont use it.  The stack overflow article gives some insight on what the problem might be.  and based upon the telnet tests I concur.  it seems that xdebug doesn't quite know how to get out of the container to connect to your editor on port 900000:19
araphfrostschutz, it shows a swap entry: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13305011/00:19
livefreehello00:20
araphdoes it mean there exists a swap space?00:20
ash_workhowudodat: any ideas to discern where xdebug is hitting a wall?00:22
howudodatash_work: I would take the question to xdebug mailing list, or post on stackoverflow which is much more tailored to programming questions00:26
ash_workhowudodat: okay; thanks for helping me out00:27
frostschutzaraph, so it is encrypted swap after all... and the swap entry in /etc/crypttab?00:27
_habnabiton 14.04, i think i'm running upstart as init with some systemd stuff going on as well. is there a command that sets up a user session, which includes cgroups and such? previously i was doing `chpst -u someuser somecommand ...` but that isn't initializing cgroups00:27
howudodatash_work: sorry I couldn't get you going00:27
ash_workhowudodat: I was hoping this was a matter of employing a tracing mechanism or something that would let me figure out where xdebug is failing, but alas, I am not so fortunate; either way, I really appreciate your help00:27
araphfrostschutz, it's like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13305242/00:29
frostschutzaraph, is that lubuntu?00:29
livefreegreetings00:30
araphfrostschutz, no, ubuntu00:30
frostschutzaraph, doesn't work this way in any case00:30
frenckhyxIsn't ubuntu a terrorist tool.00:31
nicomachusgtfo00:31
araphfrostschutz, do you mean I cannot assign the swap area in the space where it formerly was?00:31
frostschutzaraph, not sure if this works for ubuntu as well but you need something like this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Swap_encryption#UUID_and_LABEL00:32
k1l_frenckhyx: troll somewhere else please.00:32
frostschutzaraph, or use unencrypted swap, or luks encrypted swap that asks for a passphrase, or whatever00:32
araphfrostschutz, I dont mind using unencrypted swap. but there appears no swap space in my partition table of hdd now. could I create an unencrypted one without breaking anything, like you mentioned above?00:33
frostschutzaraph, unencrypted swap will break your encryption (if you're using luks or ecryptfs as in encrypted /home/user/.Private dir)00:35
fftaHi all, why "xrandr --output HDMI1 --auto --primary" don't work00:36
=== epipercepi_ is now known as epipercepi
frostschutzaraph, for unencrypted swap as I said earlier, just mkswap the partition and so on and so forth (comment out the crypttab entry)00:36
araphfrostschutz, so the solution you mentioned 'mkswap /dev/partition, swapon /dev/partition, blkid /dev/partition, and adding a swap entry for that UUID to fstab', would it work in my case, with the encrypted swap?00:37
araphwithout hazards?00:37
VictoriaXOXOQ: Anyone know the recommended way of installing "pastebinit"? Software Center or terminal?00:43
=== MuffAdmin is now known as waterfountain
frenckhyxk1l_: what00:43
geniiVictoriaXOXO: Either00:44
VictoriaXOXOgenii: I get the same version no matter what?00:44
geniiVictoriaXOXO: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit    etc... yes, same version00:44
k1l_VictoriaXOXO: the software center or other GUI uses the same commands in the background.00:45
geniiVictoriaXOXO: The underlying system will install whatever the latest version in the repos is no matter what way you install it00:45
VictoriaXOXOgenii: k1l_: Awesome! :D00:45
k1l_VictoriaXOXO: but we supporters like terminal commands since we get the errormessages there and you can easily paste them and show them to us.00:45

remona-dashisos I mean.03:44
BlastRedi need to format the harddisk to NTFS in order for it to show up in windows installation03:44

remona-dash(?)-/03:46
BlastRednow im like, screw the ubuntu os all together and im trying to go back to windows because i have a windows key03:46
reisioBlastRed: k, well; perhaps you're in the wrong channel, then03:46
reisioremona-dash: ?03:46
BlastRedNo.. . *facepalm*03:46
BlastRedIm trying to either reinstall linux mint or windows03:46
remona-dashreisio: Yup; I need It just for its kernel. I need a live cd with newish kernel. 4.1 or above03:47
hoodediceBlast, google lilo03:47
reisioBlastRed: so decide :)03:47
OerHeksyeah. put in your windows disk and hit the button, if the disk is full errors/bad block, forget it.03:47
remona-dash 4.3 would be nice!03:47
reisioremona-dash: oh, why's that?03:47
BlastRedbut focus on the problem: Im trying TO FORMAT THE HARD DRIVE03:47

k1l_BlastRed: no03:47
reisioBlastRed: what's stopping you?03:47
hoodediceyour windows disk can format the drive03:47
k1l_BlastRed: you dont to format at all. that will make the OS installer you will want to run03:47
k1l_BlastRed: the problem is: your disk seems to be hardware wise dead.03:48
BlastRedLook, when i try to install ubuntu, i get the input/output error03:48
k1l_BlastRed: no, you need to look03:48
hoodediceBlast, is it a seagate hard drive?03:48
BlastRed??? ?03:48
reisioBlastRed: that's another matter, pick one03:48
BlastRed????????????????????//03:48
BlastRedwhat?03:48
k1l_BlastRed: nor ubuntu, nor mint nor windows can repair hardware failure.03:48
OerHeksyeah, next argument will be the postfix configs?03:48
OerHeks:-(03:48
remona-dashreisio: compiling a kernel for a system I don't know the hardware details. i would boot that system with ubuntu and still the list of modules that way. also I may go bunckers and still the whole thing. (i.e the ubuntu kernel and the initramfs image)03:48

reisiorightarmfast: nope04:10
rightarmfastif yes, then to how much?04:10
reisioyou could reduce swap, though04:11
rightarmfastthanks reisio04:11
reisioyou won't really need more than 2GB swap04:11
reisioand that's to do with hibernation and not really swapping04:11
BlastRedi should have this : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA5AD3GM6293 in a max of two weeks04:11
rightarmfasti thought there was a thumb rule like swap = 2 x RAM04:11
BlastRedreisio:  is there anyway i could possibly contact you when i get it?04:11
k1l_rightarmfast: today you dont want to use swap in daily usage since that is very slow compared to the speed of ram.04:11
BlastRedim going to need it tbh04:11
reisioBlastRed: sit back and wait, then04:11
k1l_BlastRed: better ask in #hardware for that04:12
reisioBlastRed: it's very simple, you don't need a personal instructor04:12
reisiomore than likely, on the bottom of your laptop is an obvious panel, with a couple obvious screws, behind which will be the hard disk, which you pop out and replace04:12

birdjesusguys, tell me plx how i can remove unity from ubuntu 15.10 and make gnome3 using by default?04:16

reisiobcx: does it matter?04:16
reisiobirdjesus: ask ubottu about !notunity04:16
bcxreisio: I would like to use it on my custom ubuntu gnome04:17
rightarmfastis unity a DE or UI?04:17
reisiobcx: just use autocutsel04:17
reisiorightarmfast: it's both, arguably04:17
reisiomost specifically, it's a particular configuration of GNOME and compiz04:17
bcxreisio: autocutsel does not resolve to select+paste issue04:17
reisiobcx: sure it does04:17
bcxreisio: not for pasting over selection, to my knowledge04:18

k1l_unity is "another shell for the gnome3 basis". but only on the gnome3 basis on traditional xserver.04:18
birdjesusidk. im newbie with dis. just installed ubuntu from minimal cd and chosen ubuntu-desktop :P04:18
reisio!notunity04:18
ubottuUbuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown.04:18
reisiobirdjesus: ^04:18
bcxreisio: autocutsel -f ; autocutsel -s PRIMARY -f     ??04:19
rightarmfastso it's like built over GNOME 3? like Pantheon and Cinnamon?04:19
k1l_birdjesus: install "gnome-shell" to get the gnome desktop04:19
reisiobcx: I don't recall the particulars, but you can use autocutsel04:19
reisiorightarmfast: similarly, yes04:19
rightarmfastCool. thanks04:19

cairaptor340 doesn't mark 352. Probably should gave tried that08:10
bryliedarkblue, yep. Reboot into an installed OS, if possible.08:10
bryliedarkblue, then you can try installing the image on a USB drive.08:11
darkblueJust one more thing then, I selected "install alongside windows boot manager" and had shrank the windows partition to leave a raw partition on the disk, will the installer know to put linux in the raw partition?08:12

howudodatquick question on forcing nvidia version.  I want to use 346, but it keeps installing 352 (352 has bugs with displayport).  However I cant select 346 in additional drivers. and when I uninstall 352 it uninstalls 346, likewise install of 346 brings in 352. I am running ubuntu 15.10 with gnome-shell15:55
davidsha1sruli: Oh, why are you mounting it then? you should be able to boot from the USB by restarting the machine and set up a dual boot from there.15:56

davidsha1sruli: did you try this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/215589/cannot-mount-dev-loop1-on-cow ?16:01
howudodatsruli: you might just try to recreate the usb and dont create the persistence file...discard changes after shutdown or similar.  you might also try using a different usb creator.  I have found the startup disk creator to be very unreliable16:01

thaddeehubbunny: what I always do is shrink down the windows partition and then adding a shared partition for both OSs16:08
thaddeethe shared partition is an NTFS partition16:09
thaddeeubuntu usually comes with gparted16:09

wizzkiddcan anyone here help me with bonding 2 NIC's... I previously had this done okay before I reinstalled Ubuntu and had to reconfigure my network interfaces.  Somehow my last install referred to my dual NIC as p1p1 and p1p2, but his time its enp2s0f0 and enp2s0f1 ... do the ifaces have a new name introduced in an update?17:16
TJ-gremlyn: Network Manager does some verbose logging to /var/log/syslog; there might be a clue there17:17
gremlynthanks TJ- I'll looks17:17

TJ-bagolytoll: No, you mark the failed drive as failed, remove it from the array, add the replacement drive as a spare to the arrray and then make it active. The data will then be synced to it.17:21

wizzkiddTJ-: I previously had 15.04 ... I formatted the drive and started fresh with 15.04 again followed by an update / upgrade / dist-upgrade17:22
TJ-gremlyn: OK, so whatever nullmailer is cannot connect :)17:22
TJ-wizzkidd: so the system has always been 15.04?17:23
wizzkiddTJ-: yes17:23
gremlynTJ-, hah but why nothing should be sending mail from this computer :P17:23
TJ-wizzkidd: OK, 15.04 is a weird transistional hybrid of Upstart and Systemd init systems. I can only think that the original install was using Upstart and biosdevnames (or statically assigned names via udevd) and this latest doesn't have those, so Systemd is using its persistent interface naming scheme now17:24
TJ-!info nullmailer | gremlyn17:25
ubottugremlyn: nullmailer (source: nullmailer): simple relay-only mail transport agent. In component universe, is extra. Version 1:1.13-1 (wily), package size 88 kB, installed size 451 kB17:25

OerHekswizzkidd, "predictable network interfaces names default on" can be turned off, in 15.04,  http://askubuntu.com/a/62849217:28
TJ-wizzkidd: right, Systemd has introduced these persistent interface names to try to avoid race condition naming errors that were becoming more frequent wth hotplug/discovery race conditions.

ratiohi this is more a general linux question, but I have a shell account with limited priviledges, and keep getting errors like this:  not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/apt-get install -q -y software-p roperties-common' as root18:41
devsysHi All, I have been struggling with an issue as of late -- my /boot partition has became full presumably due to kernel updates. I manually purge these from time to time, but I was wondering why this is happening and if there is a way to do this in a more automatic fashion? Thanks18:42
k1lratio: best is to talk to the shell hoster about such sings. we dont know what the limited the accounts to and if they have a 3rd party pacakge system or they install packages for you on demand18:43
ratiook ty18:44
k1ldevsys: which ubuntu exactly?18:44
devsysk1l: I am on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS18:44
OerHeksratio, maybe a typo ? software-p roperties-common18:44
devsysk1l: uname -a says I am on 3.13.0-65-generic18:45
k1ldevsys: ubuntu added scripts to the kernel install so old kernels get marked as "to be removed by apt-get autoremove" but i dont know since when that works18:45
k1ldevsys: at least since 15.04 i only need to run "sudo apt-get autoremove" to get rid of old kernels18:46
devsysk1l: Ok, maybe I need to do a dist upgrade then18:46
daftykinsk1l: not certain myself either, but i've seen it since 14.04 first hand18:47
k1ldevsys: did you try a apt-get autoremove?18:48
daftykinsdevsys: every time i install a new one i reboot into it then purge the last :)18:48
devsysI think it works on my version, it's trying to do a kernel upgrade at the same time and failing formt he looks of it (due to the full /boot)18:48
daftykinsyeah you won't be able to autoremove whilst an install attempt is going18:48
devsysok, I guess I'll have to manually purge some of the old kernels and then retry18:49
daftykinsyou'll need to use "sudo dpkg -r linux-image-extra-3.13.0-##-generic linux-image-3.13.0-##-generic" to clean some out18:49
devsysok thanks trying that now18:49
bruinsis there a way to install 15.05.01 LTS if you are -currently- on 15.05.03 LTS (.01 will maintain 3.x kernel, while .03 will require a kernel upgrade to 4.x to maintain support)18:49
baizonbruins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases18:50
k1lbruins: its about enablement stack. if you install the "linux-generic" you will add the 14.04 3.13 kernel again.18:51
k1l!enablementstack18:51
ubottuThe Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases. see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack18:51
bruinsok hmm18:51
bruinsi dont need that , it is a VM18:51
bruinsit says on the release page that support ends fairly soon, but the support doesnt matter you are saying?18:52
k1lbruins: no18:52
daftykinsbruins: 15.04 is EOL end of January i think yeah, you shouldn't be running it by then18:52
k1lsee https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack  it explains how the kernel is supported on the LTS versions.18:53
k1lbruins: you can switch the (backports) kernels easily with the enablement-stack packages like shown on that wiki page18:53
bruinsi apologize18:53
bruinsi am on 14.04.03, and this is re: 14.0418:53
bruinsso i am looking at 2019 EOL18:53
bruins:/ sorry18:53
higgsbosonI had to restart for the cursor problem18:53
bruinsEOL for 14.04.03 is before 14.04.01, i would like to stay with 01 i feel is the right choice, but i am currently on 14.04.0318:54
k1lbruins: either you go "back" to the 3.13 original 14.04 kernel or you move through the backports kernels to the 16.04 kernel then.  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Support?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=Ubuntu+Kernel+Support+Schedule.png18:55
k1lbruins: do you even read what i explain?18:55
bruinsi see your highlight above now, ok18:55
bruinsi missed when typing..18:55
daftykinsbruins: 14.04 can be using the supported 3.13 kernel *AND* show up as being 14.04.3 when checking version - it's about updated packages.18:55
devsysk11 & daftykins: Thanks for the help, I got it straightened out18:56
=== neurotus is now known as Guest26654
daftykinsbruins: installing 14.04.3 from 14.04.3 media can show up as being the 3.19 kernel due to coming with the vivid (15.04) HWE stack. this kernel does *NOT* go EOL when vivid goes EOL.18:56
daftykinsi believe all of this is covered in the links you were given :)18:56

daftykinsi figured the question might have been coming :)19:00
PiciMassrawy: Because this is the channel for that, I dont know why you were pointed to the other channel.19:00
daftykinsbruins: ah ok, yeah as long as you setup new systems from 14.04.0 or 14.04.1 media then, they'll dist-upgrade to 14.04.3 but keep the 3.13 kernel and not have any HWE stack hassle19:01

sarinki just downloaded the nodejs tarball from https://nodejs.org/en/download/stable/ and then unzipped it, where do i put this folder now? where would it go if i had installed from apt? (i didn't because i wanted v5.0.0)19:14
PiciMassrawy: what you can do is include a >> /root/apt.log 2>&1  at the end of your crontab line (before the comment, of course) which should log all stdout and stderr to that file.  Also make sure that there is indeed an entry for this line in /var/log/auth.log, it should say that CRON ran something.19:14
daftykinssarink: finding a PPA would've been a lot better than attempting a manual install19:16
Massrawyok .. making changes now and will update19:18
Massrawyrun-parts /var/spool/cron/crontabs -v would be the correct way to force/test the cron job, right ?19:20
sarinkdaftykins: it's a zip file of the binaries, is it more complicated than just putting it somewhere and adding the bin folder to the path?19:22
sarinki don't have to compile it19:22
PiciMassrawy: I've never done it that way, usually I just modify the crontab to have the thing run close to now.19:22
mcphailMassrawy: silly question, but have you made sure there is a newline at the end of the crontab?19:23
Massrawymcphail: you know what, actually there is now new line ! ... would that be an issue ?19:24
mcphailMassrawy: yes - see the end of "man 5 crontab"19:24
MassrawyPici: adjusted to 2 minutes from now and will see how it goes19:24
mcphailMassrawy: age old crontab bug19:25
Massrawymcphail: Pici ... thank you both ! it seems like the run-parts command was throwing me off, as suggested by Pici adjusting the time to test seemed to have kicked the job, for the sake of sanity I added the line as suggested by mcphail19:28
daftykinssarink: i'm not a dev so i can't comment on the usage of that product, however i'd be willing to bet there are channels where folk might be able to tell you if there *is* a PPA or better way to set it up; try messaging alis to find channels19:29

VictoriaXOXOOnly colors.20:06
daftykinstranshuman: i'm pretty certain what you have there is not ubuntu - and is not the repo installed PHP being called, so you'd need to state what your pastebin was run by :)20:06
daftykinskisb: that'd be a chat question for #ubuntu-offtopic :)20:07
kisbits fine i figured it out20:07
daftykinskisb: good stuff, but keep it to ubuntu support please :)20:07
transhumannot sure what you mean draftykins I went and pastebin'ed at paste.debian.net because its the one I always use, but this server is definately ubuntu20:08
VictoriaXOXO(Asking again. Waited some time.) Q: I hate these folder icons. Is this caused by the Linux version of Firefox, my DE, or something else? https://i.imgur.com/A8d1QDA.png20:09
MrCeeIIItest20:09
MrCeeIIIanyone here?20:09
daftykinsVictoriaXOXO: any mileage in the theme suggestion? i highly recommend asking in the mozilla/firefox channels. message 'alis' to find them20:09
daftykinsMrCeeIII: people need to stop asking that20:09
MrCeeIIII have an audio issue20:09
daftykins!details20:09
ubottuPlease elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel)20:10
nagromlti have one too20:10
OerHeksMrCeeIII, nope20:10
VictoriaXOXOdaftykins: I guess I could ask in such a channel, but people always keep sending me back and forth. :P20:10
transhumanoh and draftykins its wily20:10
nagromltsenor tree20:10
daftykinsi'll have you know i'm warm, not drafty20:10
transhumanoops sorry for the lack of tab typo20:11
daftykinsVictoriaXOXO: that's because topics make more sense in places where people work with the program20:11
VictoriaXOXOdaftykins: Yeah, but... Ubuntu -> Firefox -> Mozilla -> Linux -> Mate -> Ubuntu... XD20:12
transhumanI think this is one I am going to have to sit on for a while. I'll disable the youtube plugin and see if it goes away, then maybe I will change the theme and see if it goes away20:12
nagromlti have audio problems20:12
kisbits actually faster to answer the question if you know the answer20:12
daftykinsVictoriaXOXO: so install a theme, 20 second test.20:12
daftykinskisb: that was a really stupid comment, obviously people will answer if they know.20:13
MrCeeIII_i have an audio problem too... my machine wont play wma files the video shows with no sound...20:13
VictoriaXOXOdaftykins: Feels dirty, but I might resort to that. I've never (EVER) installed a theme for anything.20:13
daftykinsVictoriaXOXO: nor me but it saves wasting time doesn't it...20:13
VictoriaXOXOGuess so.20:13
daftykinsMrCeeIII: you mean wmv? wma is audio only.20:13
OerHeksMrCeeIII_, known issue, there is no WMA drm driver in 15.04/15.1020:13
MrCeeIII_yes wmv20:13
daftykinswindows media audio - windows media video.20:13
OerHeksat least, i dodn't find it.20:13
MrCeeIII_test20:14
daftykinscan you stop typing that please20:14
MrCeeIII_who20:14
Seveasthe who20:14
OerHeksphooh20:15
=== Guest58763 is now known as qdii
MrCeeIII_i get video with no sound although everything else works i even tried VLC20:15
OerHeksMrCeeIII_, again: known issue, there is no WMA drm driver in 15.04/15.1020:15
daftykinsrun the file via mediainfo to check it even has audio20:15
MrCeeIII_i have 14.04 lts20:15
SeveasOerHeks: even with mplayer?20:15
OerHeksSeveas, i have no cure yet, let me know if you find it20:16
SeveasI don't do .wm?, so can't even test :)20:17
MrCeeIII_ok thanks everyone will try mediainfo when i get home (at work now)20:17
daftykinsprobably needs ubuntu-restricted-extras installed at a minimum20:18
OerHekseven this PPA ppa:mc3man/gstffmpeg-keep is not working > gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg20:18
daftykinsMrCeeIII_: ^20:18
MrCeeIII_daftykins i do have ubuntu-restricted extras running already20:19
MrCeeIII_thanks20:19
daftykinsgood stuff20:19
SeveasMrCeeIII_: did you try mplayer? It's my go-to mediaplayer for difficult files.20:19
VictoriaXOXOQ: How dangerous is it to add PPAs? Is there a list of trusted ones or what?20:19
MrCeeIII_no i haven't i will tho thanks Seveas20:19
daftykinsno it's at your own risk, VictoriaXOXO20:20

kisbnormally find ppas on www.webupd8.org i consider them safe20:21
JifferQuestion, I am running Ubuntu in Virtualbox, I have it in full screen mode, but everytime after I restart my box I have to do vbox addon's and its annoying , how do i do this so it will stay full screen in the future20:21
daftykinsJiffer: what are you running to resolve it each time, exactly?20:21
kisbJiffer, is ubuntu installed?20:22
Jifferinsert guest addons20:22
bradlandon a bare install of Ubuntu 14.04, which profile is adding /usr/local/bin to the path? i can't find it anywhere.20:22
VictoriaXOXOdaftykins: I need to check the PPA I added.20:22
daftykinsVictoriaXOXO: that's a bit of a vague statement, define 'check'20:22
JifferI have it installe don a 8GB virtualbox20:22
VictoriaXOXOdaftykins: Well, I just want to look at the address.20:22
daftykinsVictoriaXOXO: err are you sure there's no 'software and sources' settings item in MATE's settings? this really ought to be the first place you go; else the PPAs tend to get added into files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/20:23
Seveasbradland: that's set in /etc/environment20:23
bradlandi've checked ~/.profile ~/.bashrc /etc/bash.bashrc20:23
bradlandSeveas: @_@20:23
VictoriaXOXOdaftykins: I just found it. Does this look malicious to you? "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nilarimogard/webupd8/ubuntu trusty main"20:24
bradlanddur, thanks20:24
bradlandseems like an odd choice20:24
Seveaswhy?20:24
bradlandthere's so much path mangling going on elsewhere20:24
JifferSo VB is running a full install of Ubuntu like 8 to 10GB, i then start it, have to run guest add ons, then reboot the box then i get full screen mode.20:24
daftykinsVictoriaXOXO: i can't tell you what's safe, because i do not and will not use it - really.20:24
bradlandwhy separate this one out?20:24
VictoriaXOXOXD20:24
VictoriaXOXOdaftykins: There's no list or stats of the most widely used PPAs?20:25
nagromltneed help with audio20:25
daftykinsVictoriaXOXO: i've already said it's down to you to decide20:25
bradlandso invoking `/bin/bash -l -c my_awesome_script` doesn't load /etc/environment.20:25
daftykinsnagromlt: you need to describe your problem to get a response.20:26
bradlandsry, this is from within a cron job20:26
VictoriaXOXOdaftykins: Yes, but if maaaaaany people use it, at least I'm not the only one getting screwed. :P20:26
d4rklit3hi20:26
d4rklit3something is wrong with my ubuntu instance20:27
d4rklit3the package manager20:27
d4rklit3seems totally f'd20:27
d4rklit3can i just nuke the whole thing20:27
daftykinsVictoriaXOXO: then your favourite search engine will be your best approach - since these are very, very basic queries.20:27
d4rklit3and get apt to reset clean20:27
Seveasd4rklit3: what are the symptoms?20:27
d4rklit3well like i had nodejs installed20:27
nagromltdaftykins /?/ rear speakers stopped working after upgrade to 15.1020:27
k1ld4rklit3: "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" in a pastebin please20:27
daftykinsnagromlt: 5.1 set huh? is this on a stereo audio source?20:27
Seveasd4rklit3: and don't use the enter key as if it's a spacebar...20:27
d4rklit3sorry20:28
nagromltdaftykins /?/ usually I'll just reinstall pulse/alsa but this time they still dont work20:28
nagromltdaftykins /?/ 4.120:28
OerHeksVictoriaXOXO, use it at your own risc, and report to the maintainer, not here.20:28
daftykinsnagromlt: right but what's the source material?20:28
OerHekswe don't do anything about it.20:28
daftykinsnagromlt: if you're playing stereo, you need to set something to tell PA to clone the output to the rear pair as well, i would wager.20:29
nagromltdaftykins /?/ not clone.  had full surround befor20:30
daftykinsnagromlt: you only get surround audio when the source is surround, e.g. a film - you still haven't answered what the source material is.20:30
d4rklit3http://pastie.org/private/srkq4oxwqqxxjdgkaap8hg20:31
nagromltdaftykins /?/ source? the server...?20:31
nagromlt:/20:31
daftykinsthe source of the audio20:31
nagromltmy cpu20:31
daftykinsi.e. the thing we're talking about20:31
nagromlt?20:32
daftykinsno...20:32
nagromltyes20:32
Seveasd4rklit3: which ubuntu version are you running? You have trusty and quantal sources...20:32
d4rklit314.0420:32
nagromltubuntu is the source?20:32
daftykinsexample: watching youtube, sound is stereo = 2.020:32
nagromltlinux?20:32
nagromltoh20:32
daftykinsno you're talking absolute nonsense20:32
d4rklit3im sorry what?20:32
Seveasd4rklit3: then remove the quantal and mongodb repos from /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d20:32
nagromltgames I guess... but tried other things besides games... like playing audio (surround) in VLC???20:33
nagromltall the things.20:33
daftykinsyou have to set up VLC appropriate to your speaker config most likely, a 5.1 dolby digital soundtrack on a film would need to be decoded to multi channel audio if your setup is analog20:33
daftykinswhereas with a digital setup, e.g. optical out, passthrough audio needs to be used to bitstream dolby digital to a comptible receiver20:33
nagromltyes... codecs that support surround dont work20:34
d4rklit3Seveas, now what?20:34
nagromltcodecs in THE source20:34
daftykinsnagromlt: yeah so configure your player appropriately20:34
d4rklit3im tryin to upgrade my node version20:34
Seveasd4rklit3: once you removed that, apt should not gets its knickers knotted anymore :)20:34
d4rklit3adding the new PPA doesn't install anymore20:34
daftykinsd4rklit3: your sources file is hosed, it contains multiple ubuntu versions combined, you can't do that.20:34
d4rklit3ok let me try20:34
daftykinsoh Seveas already replied, sorry Seveas20:34
d4rklit3that worked20:35
d4rklit3thanks20:35
Seveasd4rklit3: we don't support PPA's. If apt is behaving correctly after fixing sources.list, our work here is done :) If you want help with a nodejs ppa, contact the ppa's author :)20:35
kisbwhats wrong with the ppa20:36
kisb@_@20:36
OerHekskisb, a PPA is just a way to make your builds on ubuntu available for anybody, and you should give support for it. we don't.20:37
JediMasterhi guys, what causes CPU system usage? I'm seeing some odd problems with a database hanging for a few minutes and at the same time the system CPU usage goes much higher than at any other time20:37
daftykinsJediMaster: what's top saying?20:38
daftykinswatch it and screenshot/pastebin when load spokes20:39
JediMasterdaftykins, didn't have top open at the time, however got zabbix graphs20:39
daftykinswell if you link some data if you have it, that wouldn't hurt - but i don't know what zabbix is20:39

k1lGoku_: this channel is for technical support only. please use ##chat for chatting20:44
maxtimboVictoriaXOXO, of course, but it isn't often somebody will ask for something that has such information in it20:44
Goku_Sorry20:44
Goku_##chat20:44
VictoriaXOXOmaxtimbo: How do I know, though? :/20:44
JediMasterGoku_, type: /join ##chat20:45
daftykinsJediMaster: ok you're using trusty (14.04) with the utopic (3.16) kernel hardware enablement stack there; either run 14.04's vanilla 3.13 kernel or upgrade to the vivid (15.04) 3.19 kernel20:45
dziqI've just installed Ubunut 15.10 on my dell e7240 can anybody tell me how to disable keyboard backlight on boot?20:45
dziqI don't need it20:45
JediMasterdaftykins, do you think it's a kernel related issue then?20:45
daftykinsVictoriaXOXO: main reason we give support in an open channel that, so others can warn if something is unsafe to run20:45
maxtimboYou can usually tell right off the bat, VictoriaXOXO . it would say something like password or encryption. Aside from that, most private user data is encrypted and non-human-readable anyway.20:46
daftykinsJediMaster: i'm telling you what to try since you don't have the information i require - however normally load is 100% per core, so 2-9% sounds like nothing to me if that's from the guests perspective20:46
VictoriaXOXOdaftykins: maxtimbo: Oh, okay.20:46
explosiveVictoriaXOXO: /etc/shadow and ~/.ssh/*20:46
VictoriaXOXOdaftykins: maxtimbo: explosive: So almost all .log files people ask for are safe to share?20:46
maxtimboJust use your best judgement, VictoriaXOXO . and if something strikes you as "I shouldn't share that" then don't share it.20:47
JediMasterdaftykins, sorry this is averaged out over 16 cores, it certainly wasn't massively high, but more an indication something was wrong20:47
VictoriaXOXOmaxtimbo: My best judgement doesn't reach Linux. XD20:47
JediMasterdaftykins, have been over the mysql config many times in #mysql and other dba's have looked at it, and just noticed this with the zabbix graphs which I've not seen high system usage before20:48
JediMasterbrb20:48
=== explosive is now known as uyar
daftykinsJediMaster: ok, well my preference is definitely to avoid these HWEs entirely and keep 14.04 trusty on the 3.13 kernel - but YMMV20:49
daftykinsVictoriaXOXO: often a config file is requested to be pastebin'd, it's easy to take a quick glance over it, or perhaps grep it for common strings like 'password' etc.20:50
=== uyar is now known as EriC^^
daftykinsVictoriaXOXO: the flipside of the coin is sometimes i get people here refusing to provide me with the needed information to help due to paranoia, so there's definitely a middle road :)20:50
VictoriaXOXOdaftykins: Hmm. That could be annoying. How do I do the grip thing again?20:51
VictoriaXOXOgrep*20:51
kisbman grep20:51
EriC^^VictoriaXOXO: most people here are on the look out and will jump to your aid20:51
daftykins"grep <word_here> /path/to/file"20:51
daftykinsadd -i to grep to cover all cases20:52
VictoriaXOXOdaftykins: kisb: EriC^^: Okay, sounds good.20:52
VictoriaXOXOI got this huge bookmarks folder with Ubuntu and terminal help, but no easy overview of common commands that people in here type about. No kewl cheat sheets you use?20:53
daftykinsjust learning really, you should write your own notes really to get going quickly20:53
daftykins!bash20:54
ubottuThe linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal20:54
daftykinshmm that's not the one i was thinking of20:54
OerHekswriting cheat sheats will automatic memorize the commands20:54
VictoriaXOXOXD20:54
daftykinsreally you have to stick at things and use them regularly for them to go in20:55
kisboooh i wrote one some time back. a short guide20:55
daftykinsVictoriaXOXO: i always recommend the free Linux intro course on www.edx.org - called LFS101x though, for those wanting a leg up20:58
maxtimboI stopped using the gui for common tasks and used only the terminal for a couple months to get used to it.20:58
=== newbie is now known as Guest96778
VictoriaXOXOdaftykins: Boooooookmarked.20:59
kisbi can recommend a nice short book21:01
akikyoutube also has lots of videos to learn from21:02
ArgentoI try to start a c++ program with expect but it doesnt seem to work, isn't the line spawn "./program" correct?21:02
daftykinsin my experience youtube advice folks are well below average21:03
kisbthey are little kids sometimes21:03
wafflejockArgento: the c++ source would have to have been compiled into a binary and it needs to have executable permissions to be run otherwise the command you wrote is correct21:05
Argentowell it is compiled into a binary I hope, when I type ./program it starts21:06
Argentodoesnt that mean it's compiled?21:06
wafflejockArgento: yeah not sure I understand what the question is if the program launches, just confirming?21:06
Argentowell the question is why it launches if I type ./program manually in the terminal but it just prints "spawn ./program" at the terminal when I run my expect script21:07
wafflejockArgento: hmm yeah not sure why a script would just output the contents to the console instead of running... how are you running the script itself? also can you pastebin the script and sanitize any secrets in it21:09
ArgentoI run it by typing ./script21:10
ArgentoI will paste it, hold on21:10
VictoriaXOXOQ: Is updating through the update manager the same thing as doing sudo apt-get update/upgrade?21:10
EriC^^VictoriaXOXO: yeah, it's like apt-get dist-upgrade21:10
Argentohere it is21:11
Argentohttp://paste.ubuntu.com/13318071/21:11
Argentonot much but I just wanted to see if I could get the program running as a start21:11
k1lVictoriaXOXO: not exactly. you will need to run "apt-get dist-upgrade" in terminal21:11
VictoriaXOXOEriC^^: dist-upgrade? Not regular update? :/21:11
EriC^^!dist-upgrade | VictoriaXOXO21:11
ubottuVictoriaXOXO: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention.21:11
django_hello all im following a tutorial to install headless fireofx21:11

django_"In /etc/apt/sources.list add the following line..."21:11
django_what does thatmean21:11
django_' /etc/apt/sources.list21:12
VictoriaXOXOEriC^^: So... what's the difference between dist-upgrade and update?21:12
causativeFailed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/firefox-locale-az_41.0.2+build2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_i386.deb 404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.13 80]21:12
kisbexpect is not a shell21:12
k1lVictoriaXOXO: better use the new "apt" command since its not that confusing "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" that makes sure you get all the package updates21:12
wafflejockArgento: haven't used this myself but the example I'm seeing here uses -f flag on the expect call itself21:12
wafflejockArgento: http://www.admin-magazine.com/Articles/Automating-with-Expect-Scripts21:12
EriC^^VictoriaXOXO: dist-upgrade is like a more powerful version of upgrade, it can remove or install packages to upgrade them, ( it basically lets you upgrade the kernel usually )21:12
daftykinsdjango_: reduce the amount of lines you spam us with when you ask things21:12
causativeI removed Firefox because I was having some problems with it, and now it won't reinstall - it can't fetch certain package files21:12
VictoriaXOXOEriC^^: My head spins.21:12
Argentowafflejock: thanks for the tips, I will give it a try21:12
VictoriaXOXOk1l: But the automatic update manager is so easy. :(21:13
maneshello everyone, do you know of an effective and loss-free compression tool for large-sized files (50-100gb) like images or iso?21:13
k1lVictoriaXOXO: its automated.21:13
daftykinscausative: old version grab attempt there, did you not update package lists prior?21:13
k1lso you use that if it works for you21:13
VictoriaXOXOk1l: Well... don't I have to manually run that command every now and then?21:13
daftykinscausative: which release are you on? "cat /etc/issue"21:13
EriC^^VictoriaXOXO: update just updates the package list, upgrade upgrades most packages except for the kernel, and other packages that might need additional packages to be installed or removed, that's where dist-upgrade comes in, and it can install those too21:13
Picidjango_: thats a file, you'd need to edit it with your favorite editor21:14
causative14.04.3 LTS21:14
VictoriaXOXOEriC^^: Oh, okay. Makes sense now.21:14
k1lVictoriaXOXO: the update-manager is fine. if you want to manually do it on the terminal you need the commands we said21:14
kisbupdate updates the repositories so that when you install a software you get the latest version or upgrade21:14
VictoriaXOXOk1l: Got it.21:14
VictoriaXOXOEasy enough.21:14
django_Pici: "In /etc/apt/sources.list add the following line. ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable"21:14
django_Pici: do i do that in the command prompt?21:14
k1ldjango_: dont do that21:15
k1ldjango_: 3rd party repos like that PPA belong to sources.list.d21:15
Picidjango_: that wouldn't be a valid entry.  if you want that added, do sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable21:15
django_http://www.installationpage.com/selenium/how-to-run-selenium-headless-firefox-in-ubuntu/21:15
bpromptmanes:       depending on what you're trying to do, but compression tools like zip or imaging tools are by definition lossless, otherwise there would be no sense in using them for archiving21:15
daftykinscausative: "sudo apt update && apt-cache policy firefox | nc termbin.com 9999"21:15

bpromptmanes:    if the .img file has some compression already, you won't get much savings out of any compression tool though, usually depending on the imaging app used to do the .img, you can do some compression "while" making the .img21:24
manesbprompt, the file itself is not compressed.21:24
bpromptmanes:    then try bzip2 or rar21:24

wafflejockmanes: just did some searching on gzip vs bzip2 vs 7zip apparently in that order they typically fastest to slowest in terms of compressing and least compression to greatest compression (without adjusting defaults)21:26
wafflejockmanes: they all have flags for adjusting the particular details of the compression as well though21:26
maneswafflejock, so if speed doesnt matter, 7zip hast the best compression rate21:27
manesis the one to choose, I mean21:27
wafflejockmanes: in general with the defaults... not sure about all the details though21:27

wafflejockbprompt_: I don't think the benchmarks I linked are related to 7z in any way and found quite a few posts claiming the same results21:39

devsysMonkeyDust: that is what I did to add the new nameservers, it was blank, the current nameservers in resolv.conf aaren't listed. Does that mean resolv.conf was likely initially edited manually>21:40
bprompt_wafflejock:     hmmm I wasn't referring to your links :), I was just pointing out that the 7zip website will say things like that, since that's what manes mentioned, manes was referring to the 7zip website though, not your links as I understand it21:40
MonkeyDustdevsys  yes, it's a blank file, add 'namerver x.x.x.x' and save21:40
manesbprompt, it is not written on 7zip page, but on ubuntu man page21:40
devsysMonkeyDust: thanks, I did that and now I have the new nameservers as well as the old ones in my resolv.conf, should I just manually remove them from that file?21:41
daftykinsdevsys: perhaps you're seeing 127.0.1.1 in there?21:41
MonkeyDustdevsys  did you   sudo resolvconf -u   <-- means update21:41

manesI said 'bprompt, 7zip man page says it has the highest compression, that would be preferable' not '7zip website'21:41
bprompt_manes:    ok.. have you checked rar's benchmarks?   dunno, I've used .7z format and rar, at least .7z is comparable to .rar, I'm not sure is better, I've seen some .rar with decent compression, then again, keep in mind, that also depends on the source that's being compressed, if it has enough redundant data or not21:42
devsysMonkeyDust: yes I ran that, I did get some sendmail errors, not sure what that was about, but if I cat the resolv.conf I have the nameservers I added to base as well as the original ones (that were presumably hardcoded into resolv.conf)21:42

bprompt_josuebarrios:    w0t?22:04
dunkdaftykins: seems that with Docker the apt-get update command doesn't save the caches to the image somehow, because by putting them in the same RUN line it seems to be fixed. I know that Docker basically pulls up the container from scratch between each line in the Dockerfile (hence if you do something like try to start a db it won't be running when you come22:04
dunkto your next command), but I didn't expect the apt-get update changes to get blown away. Ah well. Yet another sharp edge to cut yourself on with Docker.22:04

daftykinsworth trying in the guest session22:14
causativedaftykins, there's another problem with firefox which might have something to do with unity configuration, namely when it opens the icon in the launcher is wrong - just the generic gray question mark with a box around it.  this despite the fact that there was ALSO a firefox icon in the launcher, which would launch firefox to the grey ? icon22:15
daftykinscausative: yeah i'd definitely log out, log into the guest session, then test firefox; see if it behaves normally there22:16
causativeyeah, autoremove did nothing either, after reinstalling it's the same as before... although I note that it didn't actually download any new packages when it reinstalled, so if there's some problem with a package maybe I need to remove the cached packages as well22:18

Jordan_UVictoriaXOXO: There are many other players. Is there anything specific about the UI or features that you want?23:04
bprompt_ There's a long list of things that "grinds my gears."   <---- there's the clincher =P, just biases then :P23:04
VictoriaXOXObprompt_: Pfffff.23:05
daftykinsbprompt_: that was a very immature comment23:05
VictoriaXOXOJordan_U: Many things, but I'll have to figure it out on my own, because otherwise this chat would be spammed with my ramblings.23:05
bprompt_daftykins:  not sure I share you view...  but I'm listening23:05
daftykinsthat'd be off topic.23:05
bprompt_VictoriaXOXO:     well, I don't see anything wrong or better in vlc, functionality wise or decoding,  to say mplayer, and I use both, so.... seems to  me it's just a matter of preference23:06

Jordan_UVictoriaXOXO: If you're looking for something simple then try Totem, if you're looking for something complex and feature rich try Kodi (whose primarily HTPC oriented interface might not suite you, but it's worth a try).23:06
Jordan_Us/suite/suit/23:07
bprompt_VictoriaXOXO:    either way, you don't have to like it, that's alright, but mplayer is another player  you could use :)23:07
VictoriaXOXObprompt_: I'll consider it.23:07
VictoriaXOXOJordan_U: I'll look them up.23:07
bprompt_VictoriaXOXO:    there are other "players" you'll find in the repositories or elsewhere, BUT they're usally just GUI for mplayer, they just call themselves this or that, but require mplayer for the decoding23:08
torcuato869Hi all! I'm relatively new into Linux. should i install any kind of antivirus/malware? I read a lot of contradictory things23:11
Bashing-om!virus | torcuato86923:11
ubottutorcuato869: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to Windows computers (perhaps using Samba). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus23:11
daftykinstorcuato869: my vote is no23:11
torcuato869Thanks guys23:11
torcuato869actually I'm using a dual boot with windows. Obviously Windows is protected23:12
Pirangueiroi need help, please. how to install office xp?23:13

daftykinsPirangueiro: i'm sure there's a better approach to whatever your task is.23:13

MrCeeIIIhello i need help creating a launcher on my desktop... who got me?23:20
OerHeksMrCeeIII, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UnityLaunchersAndDesktopFiles23:20
daftykinshylian: are you saying you get dropped to initramfs if your fstab contains UUIDs?23:21
MrCeeIIIwell im an newb would love a step by stepo23:21
cblakeAnybody with experience in Creative USB X-Fi sound cards?!23:22
OerHeksthat wiki is pretty clear23:22
daftykinscblake: just ask the actual question to the channel23:22
akkadis upstart supported still?23:23
daftykinsin releases that use it which are still supported23:24
cblakemy sound card's Mic gain is very very low.. alsamixer showing dB gain max to 6.. any ideas?!23:24
k1lakkad: its still supported. but since 15.04 we have systemd as standard.23:24
wizzkiddakkad: im trying to find out whether to use systemd or upstart to automount my zfs pools23:24
akkadis systemd easier to debug?23:26
daftykinsthe better question, is "what is LTS?" and the answer is not systemd until 16.04 :)23:26
akkad:D23:26
akkadso how does one clear an old pid from upstart. status shows a pid is running, stop, restart, start, all fail because they see a pid as active when it is not.23:27
cblakemy sound card's Mic gain is very very low.. alsamixer showing dB gain max to 6.. any ideas?!23:27

daftykins< daftykins> hylian: are you saying you get dropped to initramfs if your fstab contains UUIDs?23:29

mib_mibhi all, i have a machine with 2x480GB SSDs and 2x960GB SSDs - i want this to be a database server, and am wondering what RAID anyone would recommend here?23:30
daftykinshylian: what caused this problem to first appear? what happened between when it worked and now?23:30
hyliandaftykins: this is a fresh install of ubuntu23:30
daftykinshylian: ah ok, is it the sole OS? are you typing from a live session on this system?23:31
hyliandaftykins: yes sole os23:31
alemSo I received a new PSU and CPU Cooler, installed everything, and when I now turn on my machine, it stalls around this area after booting grub. http://imgur.com/a/E4fvO (it is an image album)23:31
alemWith image 3, that is when everything is plugged in. With image 2, that is with only my root and home drive plugged in.23:31
cblakedaftykins, alright23:32
daftykinshylian: and the second question?23:32
hyliandaftykins: no using another machine. and i am booting from the hd, not a usb. but like i said, i have to mount /dev/sda1 myself first.23:33
daftykinshylian: no i'm suggesting that you *do* boot from USB to poke around and fix23:33
daftykinsalem: lots of disks there huh? do you press 'S' at the error in image 1?23:33
alemNo, it automatically bypassed it23:34
alemWhich was honestly, odd.23:34
OerHeksalem, looks like you forgot a sata cable23:34
OerHeksor notpropperly connected23:34
hyliandaftykins: i have tried that first, continues to have this option. i wish i could just force intramfs to use the old /dev/sda1 system...23:34
hyliandaftykins: *issue23:35
BottomNotchI have a Lenovo thinkpad x61 tablet running trusty.  It has a serial touchscree that doesn't work.  I know that it uses serial port /dev/ttyS4 but the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touchscreen to not help.  Can anyone help me?23:35
daftykinshylian: tried what? i'm saying boot to live session then have a look around at the boot configs23:35
OerHeksalem, maybe an other sata port on your mobo, without updating the bios it will not see it.23:35
OerHeksalem, updating bios = enter bios, and save it.23:35
hyliandaftykins: i did just that. /etc/fstab has the same uuid as sudo blkid says it should...23:35
alemAlright, well, I will reseat all the cables and see if that helps with anything.23:35
daftykinshylian: ok now that's language i can understand. did you try chroot-ing your installation then updating the initramfs?23:36
hyliandaftykins: no, dont know how to chroot, never had to before.23:38

daftykinsBlastRed: ubuntu support only, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic23:49
BlastRedYes i know haha23:49
BlastRedi was here yesterday23:49
BlastRedim resuming on my previous topic23:49
daftykinsthen cut the chat and follow rules please23:49
BlastRedI said, "are my old buds here" as in, "where are the people who were helping me yesterday"23:49
daftykinsjust resume the support query, don't fight policy.23:50
BlastRedbashing-om . where are you.23:50
BlastRedLol23:50
daftykinswe have volunteers that come and go, the best thing to do is to just ask again - hassling individual users isn't so effective if they're not here right now23:51
BlastRedOkay, generic question as im switching my other ubuntu hard drive into a computer23:51
bprompt_BlastRed:    they may well be here, but unless you state specifics, you wouldn't know23:51
BlastRedoky im sorry :323:51
BlastRedSo i have two laptops of a relative size23:51
BlastRedIf i replace one hard drive into the other, will that have all my files and data from the previous comp? and the OS?23:51
BlastRed.3.23:52
daftykinsyes because the hard disk is the storage device23:52
BlastRedNice....23:52
BlastRedThats awesome23:52
hyliandaftykins: i got 1 error, "unable to resolve host xubuntu"..??23:52
daftykinsbut only if it was on its' own, i.e. it wasn't a multiple drive system23:52
BlastRedits a problem with your internet hylian23:52
daftykinshylian: why are you trying to do anything online? chroot doesn't require this23:53
BlastRedive gotten that before, you probably want to check your ip23:53
hylianBlastRed: um, no it's not./23:53
daftykinsnot even close :)23:53
BlastRedReally? i had the same error "unable to resolve host" in a certain game, and i ended up fixing the localhost code or something23:53
BlastRedhaha... i know nothing; what i said never happened.23:54
daftykinsit's part of an ongoing support query, so you don't know the full story.23:54
daftykinshylian: so you just nede to be in a terminal right now, mounting your partitions and then chroot-ing into it - there's no need to be online at all - i don't know why you got that message23:54
daftykins*need23:54
daftykinsBlastRed: so if the hard disk was the only one in another PC, and has the full ubuntu installation on it... you can transplant the drive and boot up wherever; as long as there are no major hardware differences23:55
Jordan_UBlastRed: Yes. Depending on some important details though (proprietary drivers, and UEFI boot entries) you may have trouble booting from and running from the swapped drive though.23:55
BlastRedah.23:55
hyliandaftykins: ok so i did chroot it, do i reboot now?23:56
BlastRedOne computer is compaq and one is DELL, wil that have any problem. Jordan_U ?23:56
daftykinshylian: no; because nothing has been done. if you "ls" do you see bin, dev, etc?23:56
hyliandaftykins: except, it did say it didn't know the host of xubuntu when running grub-install.23:56
BlastRedi just took off the top off the bottom of my lother laptop... which one is the hard drive xD23:56
BlastRedOh i see it...23:57
BlastRedits called a disk drie?23:57
BottomNotchI have a Lenovo thinkpad x61 tablet running trusty.  It has a serial touchscree that doesn't work.  I know that it uses serial port /dev/ttyS4 but the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touchscreen to not help.  Can anyone help me?23:57
Jordan_UBlastRed: The brand of computer tells me almost nothing about the important differences. Do you have any proprietary drivers installed for either machine? Is either machine UEFI based (as opposed to BIOS based)?23:57
hyliandaftykins: no, but this is the home folder. i did all the commands on that page, and only had an error at the very end with grub install.23:57
daftykinshylian: i said not to run that part.23:57
k1lBlastRed: please look into the make and models manual to find a howto for replacing a hdd.23:58
hyliandaftykins: oops, ok, well then i am chrooted, i believe.23:58
daftykinshylian: you were supposed to mount your / partition to /mnt or similar.23:58
BlastRedJordan_U: Both machienes are windows 7, they mostly have the same drivers. theres little to no difference23:58
daftykinshylian: no, not if this partition is your /home23:58
BlastRedmachines*23:58
BlastRedTheyre both toshiba hard/disk drives23:58
hyliandaftykins: yep, everything you asked for mounted to /dev. cool trick23:58
Jordan_UBlastRed: That doesn't answer either of my questions unfortunately.23:59
daftykinsBlastRed: you're going to need to be in ##hardware to ask a lot of these questions, we help with Ubuntu - and whilst i personally love hardware, it's not on topic here.23:59
BlastRedAlrighty23:59
hyliandaftykins: ok, so now that I have a cd looking icon that says dev, now what do i do?23:59
