[00:00] howudodat: also, should I stop ncat before telnetting? [00:00] yes kill ncat [00:00] ash_work: try from both [00:01] howudodat: on the local machine the connection was refused [00:01] howudodat: still trying on the container [00:03] howudodat: telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out === phillips1012 is now known as solenoids [00:08] araph, you should be able to do this from the running system. was it regular swap or encrypted? [00:08] ash_work: you might need to add a -6 flag to your telnet-->telnet -6 localhost 9000, telnet -6 172.17.0.1 9000 [00:09] frostschutz, 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' quality [00:10] howudodat: telnet: could not resolve 172.17.0.1/9000: Address family for hostname not supported [00:11] ash_work:your computer's ip address is what? and that is where you run atom? outside of a docker container? [00:12] howudodat: yeah, atom is running outside the container [00:13] howudodat: I've allocated the IP as per: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30668090/how-can-i-debug-my-docker-container-with-phpstorm [00:13] howudodat: even though I'm not using PHPStorm [00:15] ash_work:can you pastebin your xdebug.ini? [00:16] howudodat: I don't have one. o.O; [00:16] xdebug.so is there though [00:16] araph, 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 swap [00:16] howudodat: whose path is given for zend_extension= in php.ini [00:16] araph, make 140% sure that you're using the correct partition though or you will lose your data ;) [00:17] howudodat: and xdebug shows up in phpinfo() [00:19] ash_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 9000 [00:19] frostschutz, it shows a swap entry: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13305011/ [00:20] hello [00:20] does it mean there exists a swap space? [00:22] howudodat: any ideas to discern where xdebug is hitting a wall? [00:26] ash_work: I would take the question to xdebug mailing list, or post on stackoverflow which is much more tailored to programming questions [00:27] howudodat: okay; thanks for helping me out [00:27] araph, so it is encrypted swap after all... and the swap entry in /etc/crypttab? [00:27] <_habnabit> on 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 cgroups [00:27] ash_work: sorry I couldn't get you going [00:27] howudodat: 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 help [00:29] frostschutz, it's like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13305242/ [00:29] araph, is that lubuntu? [00:30] greetings [00:30] frostschutz, no, ubuntu [00:30] araph, doesn't work this way in any case [00:31] Isn't ubuntu a terrorist tool. [00:31] gtfo [00:31] frostschutz, do you mean I cannot assign the swap area in the space where it formerly was? [00:32] araph, 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_LABEL [00:32] frenckhyx: troll somewhere else please. [00:32] araph, or use unencrypted swap, or luks encrypted swap that asks for a passphrase, or whatever [00:33] frostschutz, 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? [00:35] araph, unencrypted swap will break your encryption (if you're using luks or ecryptfs as in encrypted /home/user/.Private dir) [00:36] Hi all, why "xrandr --output HDMI1 --auto --primary" don't work === epipercepi_ is now known as epipercepi [00:36] araph, for unencrypted swap as I said earlier, just mkswap the partition and so on and so forth (comment out the crypttab entry) [00:37] frostschutz, 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] without hazards? [00:43] Q: Anyone know the recommended way of installing "pastebinit"? Software Center or terminal? === MuffAdmin is now known as waterfountain [00:43] k1l_: what [00:44] VictoriaXOXO: Either [00:44] genii: I get the same version no matter what? [00:44] VictoriaXOXO: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit etc... yes, same version [00:45] VictoriaXOXO: the software center or other GUI uses the same commands in the background. [00:45] VictoriaXOXO: The underlying system will install whatever the latest version in the repos is no matter what way you install it [00:45] genii: k1l_: Awesome! :D [00:45] VictoriaXOXO: but we supporters like terminal commands since we get the errormessages there and you can easily paste them and show them to us. [00:46] k1l_: Yeah, I know. How do I do that pipe symbol in terminal? That long l looking thing. [00:46] | ? [00:46] Yes, that one. [00:46] shift & \ [00:46] depends on your keyboard layout [00:46] VictoriaXOXO: Also since many helpers are in different *buntu channels like #kubuntu #lubuntu #xubuntu, the command-line way is the same no matter what desktop environment is being used [00:46] should be above the enter key [00:46] en-US. [00:47] genii: Makes sense. [00:47] Test: | [00:47] Got it! :D [00:47] The Super Mario brothers sure love their |s. [00:48] that reminds me actually, how often should i be running sudo apt-get upgrade/update ? [00:49] has anybody set up a vnc or something of this type to access thier computrer from ther android phone === goddard1 is now known as goddard [00:49] frostschutz, but doesn't the entry in fstab refer to swap area? does it not mean that I have one? [00:49] cdk: i've messed around with it a bit [00:50] have you had any sucess? [00:50] cdk: its been a minute since i used it, but yeah it seemed to work well. i just haven't had much reason to use it that much [00:51] what service do you use? [00:51] cdk: i used dyndns.org to make things a little easier connectng, trying to find the app i used right now though [00:52] cdk: gimme a second to grab my phone and see what i have installed [00:52] can anyone help me with a mdadm issue. i have a non boot md0 that i setup after installing ubuntu15.10 for the life of me i cannot get it to assemble during boot. i can assemble manually after boot. i try checking dmesg and see nothing about it, i think mdadm is not running at boot/attempting at boot [00:52] cdk: have you tried anything yet or just looking for recommendations? [00:53] tried x11vnc but no luck and tried remina or somtehthing like that but no luck and seeking help [00:55] ive got androidVNC installed on my phone, ive heard good things about pocketCloud though. supposed to be pretty easy to se [00:55] s/se/use/ [00:56] cdk: anything specifically giving you trouble though? [00:57] the remina one only connects to a vnc server not host and i am unable to figure out the x11vnc [00:58] what are you running on the computer youre trying to connect to? [01:00] i was trying to setup my linux computer so that i can acess it from my phone and control it from the phone [01:01] so you should be running the vnc server from your computer [01:02] i think vino is installed by default [01:04] look for "desktop sharing" on your computer, that should give you the settngs youll need for your phone to connect [01:09] why VGA default dis [01:09] can't reset [01:11] i treid to bring up desktop sharing but i cant find it it says that it is installed however i cant find it and it wont tell me where it is located at in the system [01:13] did you try pulling it up through the unity dash/search? [01:14] im blanking on what its called, by default its at the top of your list of applications on the left of your screen [01:14] should be able to click on that icon and type in desktop sharing and it'll locate it for you [01:14] what happens when you do that? [01:17] hello everyone, I ran badblocks on a drive for two passes already, and it gave no errors. yet I read that it would need to run a couple of days to reveal deeper errors. is it really necessary? === MrXXIV_ is now known as MrXXIV [01:21] can anyone help me with a mdadm issue. i can assemble manually after boot with mdadm -As. i try checking dmesg and see nothing about it, i think mdadm is not running at boot/attempting at boot, is there an additional step other than /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf that needs to be setup to load the raid array? it seems that mdadm.conf is not being checked during boot and i am not sure where to start. no [01:21] errors are thrown but i believe that is because nothing is even trying to assemble /dev/md0 [01:23] Does anyone else have experience with an intel/nvidia laptop having dogshit external 4k performance, but perfect internal 3.5k performance and perfect 1080p external performance over displayport? [01:24] It runs like a dog.. I get cursor flickering and everything. [01:24] Videos are a slideshow [01:25] anyone have experience recovering data from drives that were set up in raid (striping) originally? [01:25] danmulvey: it doesnt come up with it but when i look at it through the ubuntu software center it shows that it is installed but wont show where just that it is installed [01:26] anyone here [01:27] looking to reinstall dd on a ubuntu system [01:27] "reinstall"? [01:28] clean install [01:28] Canon: what happend that you want to reinstall it? [01:28] cdk: huh that's odd, give me a second to take a look at my setup and see if i can help [01:28] just cant find where to get the deb file [01:28] Canon: what happend? [01:29] cdk: open a terminal and type 'which vino-preferences' (without the quotes) and let me know what that says [01:29] just wiped my server... [01:29] Canon: you usually dont just reinstall stuff. and dd is not a own package. its included into coreutils. so i hope you did not remove that [01:29] kk just a sec [01:30] Canon: then better reinstall your server. [01:31] heres thje output::: /usr/bin/vino-preferences [01:32] cdk: cool, try running 'vino-preferences &' and that should get you going [01:34] cdk: that's the vnc server that comes with the default ubuntu install, should give you the info you need to connect with whatever viewer you have on the phone [01:34] ok it opened now how do i set it up? and connect to it? [01:35] cdk: youre gonna want to enable desktop sharing on there, then on the vnc viewer app on your phone you'll need to enter your ip address/login info for the computer [01:36] do i check the automaticly configure UPnP router to open and forward ports? [01:37] and what port does it default to? [01:38] cdk: i believe i had mine set to auto, let me double check on that and the default port though. just a second [01:40] is there any way to add transparency to the panel in unity? [01:40] truexfan81, unity-tweak might have that option [01:41] kk [01:41] cdk: i wanna say it's port 5900 but i'm trying to make sure right now [01:42] danmulvey: ok [01:42] How can I view my network adapter settings and change them? [01:42] truexfan81: see in unity-tweak-tool [01:42] danmulvey: i am also using "androidVNC" on my phone [01:42] truffel ifconfig at the comamnd line [01:43] kostkon and k1l_ thanks [01:43] Truffel: what you mean exactly? is networkmanager enough? [01:43] cdk: yeah looks like its 5900 [01:43] cdk: and i have the upnp config set to auto on mine [01:44] lets say I wanted to change what band my wifi card broadcast on and setting like that. [01:44] cdk: give it a try and let me know if it works or if you get stuck anywhere along the way [01:44] //mode $me +x [01:45] fail [01:45] ok so when i search my ip and get the public ip adress is that the one i should use? [01:45] ? [01:46] Truffel: you set that in the settings of your router. [01:46] cdk: yeah that sounds right [01:46] truffel you change networks and taht changes the channel unless you are the access point? [01:46] found and installed thanks [01:46] cdk: you can also use something like dyndns.org to point to your ip address and make things a little easier to remember [01:47] sorry I meant the band that my wifi adapter looks for, im pretty sure I can change that. [01:47] Truffel: it will scan for all bands. [01:47] truffel but u only do 2.4ghz? [01:48] ok when trying to connect from m,y computer its stuck on saying establishing handshake please wait and then says connectoin timed out [01:48] cdk are you doing vnc over ssh? [01:49] yeah. I having trouble staying connected to my university wifi. It's only since my laptop has been running ubuntu. [01:49] Truffel: what line in "lsusb;lspci" contains your wifi? [01:50] truffel i odnt think that will help [01:50] on the phone it doesnt specify whether it is ssl ssh or what it is [01:50] if I restart the laptop it fixes it for a while then it happens again [01:50] Truffel: sounds more like a driver issue [01:50] cdk you have vncclient? [01:50] and teh remote server is ubuntu? [01:51] I odnt use an android but i use vnc a lot [01:51] cdk: you're trying to connect to your computer with your phone or from a different computer now? [01:51] K1I_ any idea on fixes other than getting a eternal usb adapter [01:52] i as foir the website you gave me i dont want to pay for this se4rvice [01:52] Truffel: not if you dont give details [01:52] cdk: they shouldhave a free service [01:52] from my phone [01:52] Truffel: what line in "lsusb;lspci" contains your wifi? [01:52] cdk: i think you just have to go to their website every once in a while to update it for the free service [01:53] gzcwnk: i have ununtus desktop sharing set up and am using androidVNC app on my phone [01:53] kostkon and k1l_ that worked nicely thanks again :D [01:54] danmulvey: this is what it brought me to: http://dyn.com/dns/ [01:55] 24? [01:55] Truffel: please show the line here [01:55] gzcwnk: you have any ways of setting this up? [01:56] cdk: ahh its been a while since ive used them, lemme poke around the site and see if they still have the service i was thinking of. sorry about that [01:56] Hi [01:56] 02:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) [01:57] cdk so teh desktop has a dhcp ip address and it changes? [01:57] danmulvey: thats ok [01:58] danmulvey they used to be free but now I think they charge, though you used to be able to get 30days renewable for free [01:58] Truffel: what is "lsb_release -d"? [01:58] cdk: yeah looks like they discontinued the free service about a year ago unfortunately. i've been using a custom domain for a little while now so I haven't had a use for them, good to know now though so i can stop referring people there! [01:59] gzcwnk: yeah thats what i used to use, the one where you just had to hit their site once a month to keep it going === NeedHelp is now known as Guest97901 [01:59] yep, before that you didnt even have to do that....i used it [02:00] Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS [02:00] Hello fellow ubuntu users.

[02:01] I dont want to ramble off and noone to understand [02:02] cdk: ok so you have sharing enabled on your computer, and you have the vnc viewer app on your phone with the correct ip address etc plugged in, but when you try to connect it times out? just trying to make sure we're on the same page here [02:03] gzcwnk: yes [02:03] Truffel: "uname -a"? [02:03] danmulvey: yes that is what i have done [02:03] cdk: is your phone on the same network as your computer? not sure if that would make a difference just curious [02:03] danmulvey: is there a place that i can paste pohotos to?

[02:04] Truffel: so that should work fine. with that newer kernel [02:05] cdk so you know the IP change or can it surprise you? [02:05] um... [02:05] :/ [02:05] gzcwnk: we're just trying to get him setup in general right now. having trouble connecting the phone to the computer [02:05] gzcwnk: as far as i know it stays the same as everytime i check it it is the same [02:06] k1I_ how new is this kernel? like it seems to be working fine today but i had not used the pc in a while because of the connection problems.

[02:09] Theres quite a bit, so wait off a while [02:10] gzcwnk: i do now [02:10] balstred a i/o error could be a dead sisk, the fix then in obvious if costly [02:11] disk [02:11] cdk are u in front of your desktop?

[03:20] Im back [03:20] whho was helping me? [03:20] Hello? who was helping me with my Disk? [03:21] For whoever asked when i was gone, that 1 GB thing was casper so i had a linux mint live usb that kept things i installed onto it === Gravity is now known as Guest4209 [03:22] Bashing-om: who was the other guy === ^CJ^ is now known as ^cj^ [03:22] dood. [03:22] BlastRed: doesn't matter, what's up [03:23] Im trying to format my harddisk but its giving me the input/output error [03:23] i have a pastebin for it. [03:23] a spinner? [03:23] spinner? [03:23] BlastRed: There was gzcwnd and EriC^^ .. I am done for this session and calling it a night .. wish you the best . [03:23] ah [03:24] ;- ; its sad becausse i need you really badly [03:24] aw. [03:24] gg === kalen_not-here is now known as kalen [03:24] spinner you say, reisio? [03:25] disk, not ssd. [03:26] @kll_ who re you talking to? [03:26] who are* [03:26] when I execute command with sudo at first ,does it mean doing it with root account ? [03:27] spinner you say, reisio? [03:28] BlastRed: you. since you asked what "a spinner" is. a traditional hard disk got spinning metal platters in it. [03:28] BlastRed: uh yup [03:28] kll_ oh [03:28] pyios: in this case yes [03:29] pyios: its root permissions, not the root account. but in the end the result is nearly the same [03:30] reisio: im not sure if my harddisk is a spinner, but i think it may be. Why might that matter for the input/output error? [03:30] k1l_ = admin? :o [03:30] BlastRed: did you reboot? did that change anything? i still think that is a disk hardware failure [03:31] BlastRed: well, some storage devices you can't easily or usefully reconnect the cables to [03:32] kll_ yes, i rebooted. note that my ubuntu crashed and now only opens busybox and im on a ubuntu install CD to fix errors. Rebooting does not do much anything [03:32] reisio: im using a laptop [03:32] . -. [03:32] BlastRed: which could be all explained because of a failing hard disl [03:33] *disk [03:33] kll_ yes. I am trying to find a way to fix the errors to use the computer for untill christmas. For reasons unknown to the irc. [03:33] anyway, if you haven't sorted it yet, the most efficient solution is probably to replace it [03:33] reisio: expecting to christmas time . . . [03:34] BlastRed: try to read the smart data if that is possible. but if its failing its failing. then you need to replace it [03:34] BlastRed: get a cheap usb stick and use that till then [03:34] there is no magic command to make broken hardware work again. [03:34] Okay. [03:34] kll_ : read smart data [03:35] read smart data*?

Oh, to format the Hard disk in order to make it NTFS to reinstall windows 7 ..now postfix configs .. i am lost there, BlastRed ... [03:43] result: laptop overheats in backpack. Good thing is that it heats me up. Bad thing is that it then has no battery left for me to be able to do anything productive [03:43] Windows... *shivers* [03:43] 0erheks the windows part is not what im worried about exactly. im just trying to clear the computer of of the errors so i can even get as far to reinstall/install ANYTHING [03:43] hello [03:44] put in your windows disk and hit the button [03:44] do we have daily xubuntu or lubuntu builds? [03:44] its not that simple xD [03:44] isos I mean. [03:44] i need to format the harddisk to NTFS in order for it to show up in windows installation [03:44] Blast... you want to reinstall windows? [03:44] right. because it was gone when i decided to go linux mint [03:45] BlastRed: Don't do it! There's still time! You have so much to live for! :( [03:45] oookay, and I guess without losing mint? [03:45] which had the input/output error which i somehow fixed... [03:45] oh, mint issues [03:45] mint tissues [03:45] remona-dash: does it matter? [03:45] and when i fixed and installed ubuntu to erase linux mint, ubuntu 1 day after had the same problem [03:46] what problem? [03:46] (?)-/ [03:46] now im like, screw the ubuntu os all together and im trying to go back to windows because i have a windows key [03:46] BlastRed: k, well; perhaps you're in the wrong channel, then [03:46] remona-dash: ? [03:46] No.. . *facepalm* [03:46] Im trying to either reinstall linux mint or windows [03:47] reisio: Yup; I need It just for its kernel. I need a live cd with newish kernel. 4.1 or above [03:47] Blast, google lilo [03:47] BlastRed: so decide :) [03:47] yeah. put in your windows disk and hit the button, if the disk is full errors/bad block, forget it. [03:47] 4.3 would be nice! [03:47] remona-dash: oh, why's that? [03:47] but focus on the problem: Im trying TO FORMAT THE HARD DRIVE [03:47] then, put in your windows disk and install it as is [03:47] it doesnt matter which os [03:47] BlastRed: no [03:47] BlastRed: what's stopping you? [03:47] your windows disk can format the drive [03:47] BlastRed: you dont to format at all. that will make the OS installer you will want to run [03:48] BlastRed: the problem is: your disk seems to be hardware wise dead. [03:48] Look, when i try to install ubuntu, i get the input/output error [03:48] BlastRed: no, you need to look [03:48] Blast, is it a seagate hard drive? [03:48] ??? ? [03:48] BlastRed: that's another matter, pick one [03:48] ????????????????????// [03:48] what? [03:48] BlastRed: nor ubuntu, nor mint nor windows can repair hardware failure. [03:48] yeah, next argument will be the postfix configs? [03:48] :-( [03:48] reisio: 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) [03:49] this is silly, i know that kll [03:49] BlastRed: if you know then stop telling the same wrong thing over and over again [03:49] which is.. [03:49] ?? [03:49] which is? [03:49] remona-dash: well the distro is irrelevant, you can take any kernel from any GNU/Linux distro and plug it into any other [03:49] I hate spellchecks; **steal** [03:49] that you want to format the drive. === fginther` is now known as fginther [03:50] BlastRed: only thing you can do now on ubuntu is to make sure the drive is dead. so use the smartmontools. [03:50] if the hard drive has failed, you won't be able to format it. [03:50] okay [03:50] jesus christ m8 [03:50] sorry [03:50] sorry, [03:50] ok [03:50] yo, take a chill pill [03:50] reisio: do you know any distros besides ubuntu with kernel >4.1 [03:50] kll_ did you figure out which mode i should use yet? [03:50] because i dont know. [03:51] BlastRed: that just doesnt matter if you run a live-system right now [03:52] remona-dash: why, has Ubuntu got it? [03:52] what? im talking about postfix configuration for the harddrive [03:52] BlastRed: hahah [03:52] good one [03:52] the only reason i mentioined the hard drive format is because someone mentioned it first .-. [03:52] reisio: good one what!?!?!? [03:52] Hi all, the groups command is not showing all the groups my user is suposed to be in. [03:52] BlastRed: postfix doesnt matter now. you got other issues than wanting to send mails [03:53] Steven_M: so add them: gpasswd [03:53] anyway, let me reiterate my problem: After suspending xubuntu 15.04 on my laptop, if I close the lid, the laptop boots back up [03:53] kll_ so local only? [03:53] kll_ or no config? [03:53] BlastRed: no config. [03:54] this computer is only like 4 years old anyway it should be fine... haha [03:54] BlastRed: no [03:54] im kidding [03:55] kll_ , it is installed, now what. [03:55] see the wiki page. [03:56] kll_ doesnt say much. im cchecking my drive for smart capability. what now ._. [03:56] nevermind. [03:57] reisio: I've done that, but groups is only showing the login group, not the extra group. [03:58] Steven_M: the 'extra' group? [03:58] Steven_M: su - user [03:58] Steven_M: or log out & back in [03:58] kll_ the background LONG test has begun. I can wait it out. Question still remains: Will you still be here for results? and if so how does this prove my thing is dead. [03:58] Steven_M: groups aren't applied immediately [03:58] thing equalling hard drive. [03:58] BlastRed: replacing the device is a better use of your time/effort [03:59] reisio: oh, sorry [03:59] BlastRed: it will make a report with different categories. see there whats going wrong [03:59] reisio: it costs money. [04:00] kll_ okay. This is what i got, by the way when i tried to view results not knowing how long it may take: === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === Device does not support Self Test logging [04:00] BlastRed: only if you spend money on it [04:00] BlastRed: broken harware costs money to replace. yes. so its one broken hardware or no hardware for you [04:00] I'm sure the cost of a hard disk would not break your credit rating from now till December [04:01] hi [04:01] nurullah: hi [04:01] reisio: it wont. im not a technician though. I dont know how to put in a new harddrive. [04:01] BlastRed: then waiting till December won't help you anyway [04:02] BlastRed: it's pretty simple, though [04:02] reisio: for a laptop? [04:02] find disassembly instructions for your laptop online, remove screws, replace drive, reverse [04:02] yes simple [04:02] BlastRed: the laptop manufacturer should have tutorials/instructions how to replace hard drive [04:02] hard drives in particular are usually more easily accessed than other bits [04:02] even on laptops, usually [04:02] reisio: i cant find any places to buy a new one [04:02] BlastRed: look into the manual from your make and model. [04:02] unless it's an "ultrabook" :p but even some of those are simple [04:02] just now searched it up on google [04:02] BlastRed: new what, hard disk? [04:03] reisio: yes? [04:03] O_o [04:03] any websites where i can get a new one? [04:03] they keep them in the case with the razors at cvs [04:03] amazon [04:03] newegg [04:03] whats the price range anyway? [04:03] gotta get a manager to open the case though [04:03] reisio: su - user worked, thanks :) [04:04] BlastRed: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&IsNodeId=1&N=100167524%204814 [04:04] BlastRed: dirt cheap to not [04:04] amazon will probably have one or two better deals [04:04] reisio: could you pick one thats good? i really dont know which one is great and which one is terrible. i can go for around 120 [04:05] 120$ [04:05] BlastRed: just get the cheapest that doesn't have overwhelming "this is broken" reviews [04:05] BlastRed: what capacity do you need? [04:05] my current one had 500 GB and that was great. [04:06] And is there a certain size? this computer is considerably small [04:06] inwhere #ubuntu becomes ##hardware [04:06] xD [04:06] i had a good laugh over that. [04:06] inteus: yay boring commentary [04:06] BlastRed: yes, it's probably a 2.5″ drive [04:07] BlastRed: starting at $35 http://is.gd/ticehe [04:08] How does ubuntu manages to sync X-clipboard with X-selection ? [04:08] and yeah, amazon has slightly better deals: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2/185-6389976-5074225?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=500gb+2.5 [04:08] bcx: if it's not using autocutsel, it's probably GNOME's doing [04:10] ok [04:10] can anybody please help me? [04:10] rightarmfast: no, but some people probably can [04:10] i have 2 GB RAM and 4 GB swap [04:10] do i need to reduce swappiness? [04:10] rightarmfast: nope [04:10] if yes, then to how much? [04:11] you could reduce swap, though [04:11] thanks reisio [04:11] you won't really need more than 2GB swap [04:11] and that's to do with hibernation and not really swapping [04:11] i should have this : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA5AD3GM6293 in a max of two weeks [04:11] i thought there was a thumb rule like swap = 2 x RAM [04:11] reisio: is there anyway i could possibly contact you when i get it? [04:11] rightarmfast: today you dont want to use swap in daily usage since that is very slow compared to the speed of ram. [04:11] im going to need it tbh [04:11] BlastRed: sit back and wait, then [04:12] BlastRed: better ask in #hardware for that [04:12] BlastRed: it's very simple, you don't need a personal instructor [04:12] more 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 replace [04:12] it cant be that simple [04:12] all of it is very durable, you won't break anything [04:13] ok [04:13] ;- ; ) [04:13] This place is considerably depressing [04:13] if you were replacing the keyboard I'd say be a little careful, but you aren't [04:13] BlastRed i suggest you do some reading on hardware forums like tomshardware and watchh some youtube videos :) [04:14] yo [04:14] yoyo [04:14] I added a RAM stick to my PC that way. i was afraid i will break something because it needs to be pushed hard [04:14] anyways, thank you members so much for the help. i appreiciate it. [04:14] replacing ram can be more involved, yeah [04:14] sometimes the contraptions they use are absurd and fragile [04:14] ive replaced ram before [04:15] absolutely [04:15] for laptops in particular [04:15] still not usually a big deal, though [04:15] reisio: I'm not aware of such a GNOME feature, eg w/o gpaste [04:15] the motherboard sagged a little and i almost had a heart attack. until the knobs clicked [04:15] I got this SBC once and they'd put an extra daughter board meant to be removed underneath the ram, and I was pushing down on it and if I hadn't been very delecate it would've cracked [04:16] !ot [04:16] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [04:16] bcx: nor I, but that's what it'd be if it's not autocutsel [04:16] reisio: I didn't manage to identify the clipboard sync mecanism [04:16] guys, tell me plx how i can remove unity from ubuntu 15.10 and make gnome3 using by default? [04:16] last time i tried do this i ruined all [04:16] huh [04:16] bcx: does it matter? [04:16] birdjesus: ask ubottu about !notunity [04:17] reisio: I would like to use it on my custom ubuntu gnome [04:17] is unity a DE or UI? [04:17] bcx: just use autocutsel [04:17] rightarmfast: it's both, arguably [04:17] most specifically, it's a particular configuration of GNOME and compiz [04:17] reisio: autocutsel does not resolve to select+paste issue [04:17] bcx: sure it does [04:18] reisio: not for pasting over selection, to my knowledge [04:18] bcx: yes, but to mine [04:18] unity is "another shell for the gnome3 basis". but only on the gnome3 basis on traditional xserver. [04:18] idk. im newbie with dis. just installed ubuntu from minimal cd and chosen ubuntu-desktop :P [04:18] !notunity [04:18] Ubuntu 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] birdjesus: ^ [04:19] reisio: autocutsel -f ; autocutsel -s PRIMARY -f ?? [04:19] so it's like built over GNOME 3? like Pantheon and Cinnamon? [04:19] birdjesus: install "gnome-shell" to get the gnome desktop [04:19] bcx: I don't recall the particulars, but you can use autocutsel [04:19] rightarmfast: similarly, yes [04:19] Cool. thanks [04:19] i am running 15.10 on an amd64 for the last week or so it has started to freeze up and i am not able to isolate the problem i have looked at the syslog and cant find anything [04:20] im already installed gnome. now i have choice between unity and gnome at load screen, but idk how to delete unity and dont crash system with this [04:20] birdjesus: install ubuntu-gnome-desktop and remove ubuntu-desktop [04:22] i`ll try it. Thank you [04:28] how can I install de driver for android on ubuntu ? [04:28] 3 === _Anonaly is now known as Anonaly_ [04:28] avernos: you mean fastboot and adb? [04:29] k1l_, no, the one for file transfers [04:29] seems to be some non supported driver === Anonaly_ is now known as _Anonaly [04:29] avernos: ubuntu got mtp support in nautilus already [04:30] alright, might need to upgrade [04:30] hi to all [04:30] if i dont have support, what should i do aside from installing the mtp package? [04:30] what ubuntu are you on exactly? [04:31] ubuntu 13 [04:31] avernos: "lsb_release -d" [04:32] avernos: if its a 13.xx you are way too late for upgrading and not only missing features like mtp support but not having security updates since ages. [04:33] if you dont like upgrading, stay on LTS in the first place. that got 5 years support [04:33] k1l_, will do. just realized that it seems to be a problem of my android device. lsusb doesnt show anything [04:34] :( [04:34] i installed ubuntu-gnome-desktop and removed ubuntu-desktop, but default login screen from unity and choice "Ubuntu" still here .=.

[05:40] VictoriaXOXO: every card/system performs otherwise on different drivers [05:40] VictoriaXOXO there isn't really an out-of-the-box solution due to the fact that you'll be installing a proprietary driver [05:40] requires some effort and trial+error [05:40] lotuspsychje: SeriouslyLaugh: Okay. :( [05:41] VictoriaXOXO: if you cant enter your ubuntu anymore try the recoverymode [05:41] !recovery | VictoriaXOXO [05:41] VictoriaXOXO: If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode.

[05:45] SeriouslyLaugh: lotuspsychje: Shouldn't I stick with the additional drivers list? Feels safer?

[05:49] VictoriaXOXO: you can try launching vlc from terminal to see errors [05:52] VictoriaXOXO: but screen tearing mostly indicates driver thats not working well [05:52] lotuspsychje: I really hope I can fix it.

[08:19] brylie: As long as there are drivers for it that I can get [08:19] Okay, 340 installed fine without taking 352 in as well [08:19] I chose this keyboard: http://www.amazon.com/Aluminum-Colorful-Backlights-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B015SQK8ZC/ref=pd_sim_sbs_147_5?ie=UTF8&dpID=51N58B8H0ML&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=18D4Q13TQCYE40S89NX7 [08:19] Because I'm fancy [08:20] amazoniantoad, Phoronix might have useful information http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=open-power-value&num=7 [08:20] i need some help here please, none of my launchers are working (ubuntu 14.04) i see the icons in unity but i click forever nothing is launching [08:20] brylie: thanks [08:21] brylie: does radeon support sli? [08:21] amazoniantoad, based on that article, ATI Radeon HD 6870 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 work well on open-source drivers. [08:22] brylie: currently I have a GTX 570 === chainsaw is now known as Guest13948 [08:24] I am not sure if ATI supports SLI. [08:24] hm [08:24] They seem to have a thing called Crossfire: http://lifehacker.com/the-difference-between-nvidia-sli-and-amd-crossfire-1555235577 [08:24] Driver installed fine, X still isn't working. Kicks me straight into the low graphics warning in TTY2 [08:25] brylie: oh wow, crossfire already beats sli [08:25] >compatible with other cards in the same family and with different ram configurations [08:26] any ideas why my server network unstable, somehow get packet loss 23% , somehow 0% [08:26] i didn't have any ideas what must i do [08:26] seem like the network is heavy [08:31] none of my icons are working (ubuntu 14.04) i see the icons in unity but i click forever nothing is launching, i can only open shortcuts which are on the desktop [08:33] brylie: my current graphics card outperforms the radeon 6870 [08:33] geforce gtx 570 [08:33] brylie: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare.php?cmp[]=22&cmp[]=15 [08:35] auzty, your question may be a bit off topic. Perhaps ask in #networking [08:37] !offtopic | auzty [08:37] auzty: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [08:37] sorry [08:37] sruli, where are you clicking icons? [08:38] auzty, no worries. You might get a well-informed answer in the #networking channel. There are currently over 1000 users there. [08:38] brylie: in unity and in side bat [08:38] side bar [08:39] sruli, the side bar icons should launch the application. [08:39] sure, thanks you very much brylie :) [08:39] sruli, have you tried rebooting? [08:39] brylie: 100 times [08:39] also tried from tty --reinstall ubuntu-desktop & unity [08:40] brylie: when i click on anything the curser start spining and after a few seconds it stops [08:41] sruli, OK, hm. What icons are you clicking? E.g. Firefox? [08:41] brylie: firefox, terminal, libre office, anyhting (ctrl+alt+t also doesnt work) [08:42] sruli, this may be relevant: http://askubuntu.com/questions/680795/unity-launcher-not-launching-apps-or-opening-links-need-restart [08:42] It may be a problem with compiz. Compiz is having a day. [08:42] will try it thankls === odium is now known as odium__ [08:46] sruli, the proposed answer may not work, but is worth a try. [08:48] brylie: sudo apt-get remove compizconfig-settings-manager = is not installed, might this be the cause? [08:49] Well, no. However, installing compizconig-settings-manager gives you some options to change Compiz behavior. [08:49] sruli, try the following in your console: [08:50] sudo unity&disown [08:51] brylie: in middle of purging compiz [08:52] OK. [08:52] hi.. is there any way to enable an OOM killer on ubuntu? [08:53] It is very annoying to have to turn the PC off at the wall [08:53] brylie: i lost connectivity on that pc, when can i download all those packages from? [08:53] lesshaste: you can adjust how it uses swap, or disable swap [08:54] sruli, you lost network connection? [08:54] I assume you are entering "swapping hell" when you decide to pull the plug [08:54] brylie: on that machine, i am working from tty so cant check the issue [08:55] OK, can you run 'ifconfig renew' ? [08:56] geirha, thanks [08:56] sruli, or try: [08:56] sudo dhcient -v -r [09:00] brylie: cant get it to work, can i download from somewhere? === ren0v0_ is now known as ren0v0 === lorelei is now known as Guest52509 [09:05] Okay, with semi stable nvidia drivers installed, this is my syslog from calling service lightdm start [09:05] http://paste.ubuntu.com/13310194/ === erry_ is now known as erry [09:07] I'm guessing the gpu-manager messages are the important ones. /etc/modprobe.d is indeed a directory and not a file, but that is what it's meant to be, no? I'm not sure what the updates alternatives are though === boxznc is now known as boxmein [09:14] anyone alive here ? [09:15] barely [09:16] Also possibly of import is that in my Xorg log, it says that the build operating system is kernel 3.19, while the current OS kernel is 4.2. Not that I know what the build OS is, or if it's relevant. Xorg.conf: paste.ubuntu.com/13310291 [09:16] I gotta be stupid today, how can I umount a tmpfs that lsof and fuser says has no pids ? [09:17] without using -l === xubuntu is now known as Guest45599 [09:28] sruli, it will probably be best if you can connect to the Internet. [09:28] I am not sure how to manually download/install packages with so many dependencies. [09:29] brylie: couldnt, backed up my data from tty, almost finished full sys reinstall [09:36] brylie: tnx for trying [09:39] hi. anybody know where to disable the warning "Granted permissions without asking for password" on a live system? === circuit8_ is now known as circuit8 === farid is now known as Guest92599 [10:30] hi! I installed ubuntu 15.10 on my computer and I have no sound I checked settings and there everything is fine === Naresh is now known as Guest70247 [10:43] "Workspace Creation" "dynamics" [10:43] cool but this stack only grows down, and i want it to grow up [10:43] and as such, growing both ways would be best === ^cj^ is now known as ^CJ^ [10:46] Hi ... i want to install Windows in Ubuntu using VM Box . i have windows setup in Usb Drive ( Pen Drive). I have installed VM box but not able to Boot pendrive in Vm box to install windows... === Guest70247 is now known as Sonu [10:47] Anyone have the knowledge of support contracts? === alexandr1 is now known as alexandros_c [10:54] maxvi you could check from a terminal invoking alsamixer [11:10] I've just run the upgrade from 15.04 to 15.10 and it has crashed on installing packages. The last I have in terminal is "Processing triggers for bamfdaemon (0.5.2~bzr0+15.10.20150627.1-0ubuntu1)... Rebuilding /usr/share/applications/bamf-2.index... Error in function:". What should I do? [11:11] Hey! What happened to the Utopic Unicorn Sources Lists? (14.10) All seem to 404 for me [11:11] !eol | dym [11:11] dym: 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 [11:14] Hi. http://pastie.org/10562401 -- Can someone tell me where the heck those 12G usage comes from on / ? [11:15] Or for more context, df -h reports some disk usage, that just does not match with my du output. [11:15] It reports my root to be completely filled, while I just cannot figure out how, where or why. [11:19] norc: fwiw, the '-x' option might be useful 'skip directories on different file systems'. I also use 'baobab' for exploring disk usage. [11:28] Hi === anonymous is now known as Guest81646 [11:28] Hola [11:29] Hello [11:29] hi [11:29] bonjour [11:29] hi [11:29] who is first ? :) [11:30] yes [11:30] I'm here to help [11:30] ok .. i have a Q. [11:31] !ask | manhaton [11:31] manhaton: 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 [11:31] :) [11:31] i want to bring up eth1 without an ip address .. "ifconfig eth1 up" works with no options in /etc/interfaces .. but i cannot find howto do it on boot .. google returns the same stuff time and time again but it all configures WITH an ip address not without .. any ideas ? [11:32] (sorry my typing is slow) [11:32] post your /etc/network/interfaces [11:32] you mean pastebin ? === guest-UL0Ced is now known as vinicius [11:33] you can write it here if it's short [11:33] msg nickserv identify sudsbuster [11:34] manhaton: why do you want to bring up an interface but not assign an ip to it? [11:34] ok .. my /etc/interfaces has the standard loopback entry [11:34] and an static ip for eth0 [11:34] this all works fine [11:34] i have commented out all eth1 options [11:35] and uninstalled network-manager because it simply would not do what i told it [11:36] all i am wanting to know is how to run command: ifconfig eth1 up .. at boot time .. would custom init.d script work ? [11:36] i use eth1 for virtualbox machines only [11:36] it will work in init.d [11:36] should i write my own script ? [11:37] why not [11:37] only one line [11:37] ok [11:37] i presume that would be the simplest way then ? [11:38] why do you not want to use interfaces(5) for that? [11:38] there is no way to do this using /etc/interfaces ? === Piper-Off is now known as Monthrect [11:39] why does everybody want to know why i want to do what i want to do ? [11:40] manhaton: to better understand your end goal, many people belive there is only one way to do it but that may not be the case [11:40] Because /etc/network/interfaces is Ubuntu's way of configuring linux network interfaces [11:40] (in addition to network-manager) [11:41] i ditched NM .. [11:41] my "goal" is clearly stated .. [11:42] try putting the script in init.d [11:42] just try [11:42] shahar188: that sounds like a challenge ;) [11:42] manhaton: an alternative would be to add the command as a cron job with the time marked as "@reboot" [11:42] http://askubuntu.com/questions/335242/how-to-install-an-init-d-script-in-ubuntu [11:43] already reading: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto [11:43] shahar188, are those clock chimes I hear? [11:43] an @reboot job isn't only run during boot though [11:43] manhaton: bear in mind 12.04 and 14.04 uses upstart, 15.04 and 15.10 uses systemd [11:44] cfhowlett: what do you mean? [11:44] geirha: When else is it run? "man 5 crontab" says "Run once, at startup." [11:44] shahar188, ignore me. [11:44] i am 14.04 [11:45] mcphail: it runs whenever the cron daemon starts [11:45] so if you restart the cron service, all @reboot jobs will be run again [11:45] hey guys, there's a program called ssl something which I don't remember it's for connecting to my server by my laptop, I have installed it before but I forgot the name and how it works [11:45] cfhowlett: no :) [11:45] can someone help me with details [11:46] game0: openssh [11:46] openssl? [11:46] gamr0: ssh? [11:46] yes I think the ssh [11:46] I have installed it in my pc and I don't know how to start it [11:46] game0: ssh username@ipaddress [11:47] game0: you will need to install openssh-server on the machine that you want to connect to [11:47] yes, it's already installed [11:47] Pricey: I found the issue. It was a mess with mount points. [11:47] norc: Glad to hear it. [11:48] Pricey: A directory with contents was used as a mount point. [11:48] geirha: OK, good to know. Thanks! [11:49] /opt had some contents, so they were counted for both / and the /opt mountpoint. [11:49] then how can I login from my laptop [11:49] norc: Ugh, that's always an annoying one!! [11:49] game0: ssh username@ipaddress [11:49] I'm using windows [11:49] slabby if you can help me also [11:49] game0: ah, on windows you'll need a client like putty [11:50] !ssh | game0 [11:50] game0: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage.

[11:53] Pricey: saw that but wasn't sure it was still relevant since that was 12.10 === aaron is now known as Guest74998 [11:58] I have been using kde for long time but now I've come back to unity. I would like to know if it is possible to have 4 sticky placeholders for the windows. I'll try to explain: with unity if you drag a window to left or right side, it is automatically adjusted to left or right using half of the screen. I would like to have 4 windows instead of two [11:59] I do not how that feature is named and explain it is a bit difficult (not being english my mother tonge) [11:59] colegatron: not sure how to do that in unity but a tiling window manager like i3 would easily do that [12:01] simple enough .. probably a very ugly hack though .. need to read more to make it clean [12:01] colegatron: try installing CompizConfig Settings Manager! I think there is a setting called "grid" there that does what you wan't. === farid is now known as Guest29368 [12:02] auronandace, I do not want to install extra wm or similar. Need to keep simple everything (I automate everything) [12:02] lentzi90, thank you. I'm going to have a look in depth to ccsm [12:03] lentzi90, it is unit tweak tool the same ccsm? [12:03] lentzi90, does it is unit tweak tool the same thing than ccsm? [12:03] colegatron: ccsm is for compiz as a whole, unity-tweak tool is just for unity [12:03] colegatron, no it's a different thing [12:04] colegatron: bear in mind that there is the possibility to break unity functionality by altering settings in ccsm [12:04] ok. tnx. maybe auronandace do the trick, I'mgoing to check [12:05] hey [12:05] silver noobs === james is now known as Guest23261 [12:06] oh, yeah, unity tweak lets you do that and more...

[12:30] thanks for your help .. bbfn [12:32] Pricey: dist-upgrade and all the others do nothing, it seems okay so I'll just see how it goes I think === Gravity is now known as Guest17936 [12:39] hey [12:39] can I update ubuntu desktop to ubuntu server?

[13:40] nikolam, install cpufrequtils, edit /etc/init.d/cpufrequtils, you'll see a section for governors. pick performance (ondemand is default) [13:41] blastermaster: I have heard some versions of ubuntu/steam package don't set the udev rules for the controller so it is not recognised. Is that your problem? [13:41] then you have to disable ondemand script using "sudo update-rc.d ondemand disable" [13:41] nikolam: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors [13:41] reboot and have max frequency [13:41] When I try to create a new entry in the Nautilus-Actions Configuration Tool I find that the Suggested shortcut button (in the Properties tab) is disabled.

[17:23] TJ-: yes [17:23] TJ-, hah but why nothing should be sending mail from this computer :P [17:24] 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 now [17:25] !info nullmailer | gremlyn [17:25] gremlyn: nullmailer (source: nullmailer): simple relay-only mail transport agent.

I seem to have the bonding working now, I just had to use the alternative interface names. I dont even have eth0 or em0 now [17:26] hah apparently my minecraft server tries to send an email every time it saves the world [17:26] gremlyn: the only package that depends on nullmailer is exim4-config [17:27] gremlyn: ahhh, good, you found that without too much trouble :) [17:27] TJ-, just had to read one of the emails once I found them [17:27] heh :) [17:28] guys, sudo apt-get isn't working with me [17:28] wizzkidd, "predictable network interfaces names default on" can be turned off, in 15.04, http://askubuntu.com/a/628492 [17:28] 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. Previously eth* naming was on a first-discovery, first-allocated basis and that could change on a per-boot basis [17:28] I recived this problem when I've done apt-get upgrade [17:29] E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

I may just leave it as it is for now, if it causes complications with anything in the future (such a poor script *assuming* my interface name) then I may disable the "predictable network interface names" as OerHeks suggested [17:32] pici [17:32] E: Some index files failed to download.

[17:40] houcheng, no, the servers are offline, there is 1 old-versions server, to upgrade or do some research [17:41] Pici, sudo pip install numpy or apt-get install python-numpy [17:41] oh, got it. [17:41] TJ-: is there a way to find out what is the latest supported kernel for Ubuntu 15.04 ? [17:42] chindy: never ever use sudo pip. The latter should work though. [17:42] Pici, it does not tough [17:42] chindy: If you're getting the message that you pasted above, then it is already installed. [17:43] TJ-: actually, ignore that, I just realised that I already have the latest supported kernel installed since my new reinstallation [17:43] wizzkidd, http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ v3.15-rc1-trusty/ 09-Jun-2015 11:12 [17:43] wizzkidd: "apt-cache policy linux-image-generic" [17:44] TJ-: it appears im sitting on 4.2.0-18-generic [17:44] wizzkidd: so that's 15.10, not 15.04 ?

Are you running this within an interactive python session? [17:50] zyzzy:or shall i try reboot into hard disk safe mode [17:51] emitattuo, HAL is long gone, if you want flash/shockwave/moonlight you want chrome browser, for DRM content.

[17:57] OerHeks, thanks again. (it did last week :-) [17:58] Guest58339: use the logs, Luke! /var/log/* on the installed root file-system; check /var/log/X0rg.0.log, syslog, kern.log for clues. [17:58] Guest58339: you'll need to mount that root file-system from the Live env first, then you can inspect those logs [17:58] Guest58339, can't you chroot into it?

[18:08] arunangshu ask in the elementary channel, not here [18:08] arunangshu: the non-ubuntu versions do have issues with the repos because they change stuff. like the naming of the OS which is sometimes needed. so better ask them for support [18:10] Do you have any ideas about this issue? [18:10] Knight80: are that old games and they dont work with pulesaudio or alsa? [18:11] k1l They're quite old, yes [18:11] k1l And they don't work with pulseaudio nor alsa [18:11] what a community, elementary is not ubuntu , so go fuck yourself, very nice, ubuntu is linux , elementary is linux , so help everybody , need that. congrats guys, you are awesome. i hope, one day you guys stuck somewhere and cry like a baby [18:11] is there a way to stop chromium logging history in ubuntu 14.04?

[18:41] requiest: no need for a repeat. [18:41] ok i am sorry thank you [18:41] hi 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 root [18:42] Hi 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? Thanks [18:43] ratio: 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 demand [18:44] ok ty [18:44] devsys: which ubuntu exactly? [18:44] k1l: I am on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS [18:44] ratio, maybe a typo ? software-p roperties-common [18:45] k1l: uname -a says I am on 3.13.0-65-generic [18:45] devsys: 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 works [18:46] devsys: at least since 15.04 i only need to run "sudo apt-get autoremove" to get rid of old kernels [18:46] k1l: Ok, maybe I need to do a dist upgrade then [18:47] k1l: not certain myself either, but i've seen it since 14.04 first hand [18:48] devsys: did you try a apt-get autoremove? [18:48] devsys: every time i install a new one i reboot into it then purge the last :) [18:48] I 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] yeah you won't be able to autoremove whilst an install attempt is going [18:49] ok, I guess I'll have to manually purge some of the old kernels and then retry [18:49] you'll need to use "sudo dpkg -r linux-image-extra-3.13.0-##-generic linux-image-3.13.0-##-generic" to clean some out [18:49] ok thanks trying that now [18:49] is 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) [18:50] bruins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [18:51] bruins: its about enablement stack. if you install the "linux-generic" you will add the 14.04 3.13 kernel again. [18:51] !enablementstack [18:51] The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases. see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [18:51] ok hmm [18:51] i dont need that , it is a VM [18:52] it says on the release page that support ends fairly soon, but the support doesnt matter you are saying? [18:52] bruins: no [18:52] bruins: 15.04 is EOL end of January i think yeah, you shouldn't be running it by then [18:53] see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack it explains how the kernel is supported on the LTS versions. [18:53] bruins: you can switch the (backports) kernels easily with the enablement-stack packages like shown on that wiki page [18:53] i apologize [18:53] i am on 14.04.03, and this is re: 14.04 [18:53] so i am looking at 2019 EOL [18:53] :/ sorry [18:53] I had to restart for the cursor problem [18:54] EOL 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 14.04.03 [18:55] bruins: 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.png [18:55] bruins: do you even read what i explain? [18:55] i see your highlight above now, ok [18:55] i missed when typing.. [18:55] bruins: 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. [18:56] k11 & daftykins: Thanks for the help, I got it straightened out === neurotus is now known as Guest26654 [18:56] bruins: 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] i believe all of this is covered in the links you were given :) [18:57] bruins: see the wiki page the bot mentioned. it explains it and got nice pictograms :) [18:57] ok :) wow yes [18:57] i am writing your help to emails now [18:57] and will source here of course [18:58] thank you all -- i wasnt' sure and this is a long term question brought up -- [18:58] * bruins back to programmin.. ;/ [18:58] Hello everyone ..

[18:59] Massrawy: support only, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [19:00] daftykins: thanks. [19:00] Massrawy: er... are you asking for support for that? [19:00] i am deploying project to 14.04.03, and spec includes software/kernel support for x years.. i wrote asking the same questions i am asking here. :) now with real answers, and eye-candy answers.. [19:00] i figured the question might have been coming :) [19:00] Massrawy: Because this is the channel for that, I dont know why you were pointed to the other channel. [19:01] bruins: 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 hassle === Philonous|afk is now known as Philonous [19:02] Alt-Tab does not display desktop in elementary freya [19:02] is it possible to configure that [19:02] ? [19:02] !EOS | Guest76042 [19:02] Guest76042: please ask the elementary guys about issues on ther OS [19:03] !elementary | Guest76042 [19:03] Guest76042: Elementary OS is an Ubuntu derivative which is supported in their IRC channel #elementary on irc.freenode.net - http://elementaryos.org/ for more information on this distribution. [19:04] Would a library in Ubuntu 14.04 that will not work with Clang 3.5 without a newer commit being added be considered a bug? === bpye_ is now known as bpye [19:05] apparently that channel seemed inactive..so I asked here considering that elementary is based on ubuntu 14.04 [19:06] Guest76042: yes, however we do not support it here regardless. if you want support, install a supported Ubuntu release, sorry. [19:06] Guest76042: But in Elementary, there are differences we here on ubuntu would not be aware of . thus no support . [19:06] Pici: yes I am [19:07] I think my issue is something silly but I have been focusing on it so much I just need another set of eyes to point what is the problem [19:07] Massrawy: you need to type it out then, possibly in a http://paste.ubuntu.com if it's long :) [19:07] Massrawy: The task that you described in the other channel would run daily at 6am, is that when you want it to run? [19:08] Pici: yes, however it's not running for some reason [19:08] i will be glad to post anything needed on pastebin [19:09] Massrawy: Can you pastebin the script that you're trying to run? [19:10] sure .. thaks for the help, working on it now. [19:10] *thanks [19:11] here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/13316444/ [19:13] Massrawy: and if you run that manually with root, it works? === Gravity is now known as Guest54289 [19:14] i 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] Massrawy: 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. [19:16] sarink: finding a PPA would've been a lot better than attempting a manual install [19:18] ok .. making changes now and will update [19:20] run-parts /var/spool/cron/crontabs -v would be the correct way to force/test the cron job, right ? [19:22] daftykins: 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] i don't have to compile it [19:22] Massrawy: I've never done it that way, usually I just modify the crontab to have the thing run close to now. [19:23] Massrawy: silly question, but have you made sure there is a newline at the end of the crontab? [19:24] mcphail: you know what, actually there is now new line ! ... would that be an issue ? [19:24] Massrawy: yes - see the end of "man 5 crontab" [19:24] Pici: adjusted to 2 minutes from now and will see how it goes [19:25] Massrawy: age old crontab bug [19:28] mcphail: 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 mcphail [19:29] sarink: 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 channels === ^CJ^ is now known as ^cj^ [19:33] hi dears i have open vpn on my IOS tablet an on my windows but i dont know how to connect with a openvpn connection [19:33] i means usisng a ".ovpn" file [19:34] 2nd time since iv einstalled ubuntu that i get an error that it crashed and it wants to send data to ubuntu [19:34] is this normal? [19:36] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/O6YHZ8dm/ [19:37] help! trying to use xinput calibrator but device id's change every boot! [19:39] emadhelmi: do you have the certificate and tls key too? [19:39] hello :) [19:40] emadhelmi: open the .ovpn file and see what files are referenced there [19:40] django_: just remove the logs, if it happens again... then you need to check up on it [19:40] daftykins: its happened multiple times [19:40] ive only had ubuntu for like 3 weeks [19:40] or so [19:40] akik, yes i do [19:40] does anyone know how I can make a script file with a bunch of export A=B? [19:40] django_: with deleting you mean, or that it comes up on every boot? because it will pop up on every boot if it happens once [19:41] django_, yes, that is normal. [19:41] akik, i have certificate and tls [19:41] django_: also why was your image nothing to do with problems whatsoever? [19:41] akik, i.e they are in the ovpn file [19:41] daftykins: this is like 3rd time its happened, i just opened my laptop in school..i had closed it (not shut off) before leaving [19:41] i do this all the time [19:41] emadhelmi: install the OpenVPN client [19:42] list zfs [19:42] wizzkidd: what are you looking for? [19:42] django_: right but have you EVER *cleared* the crash logs? [19:42] daftykins: probably not [19:42] sudo apt-get install what? [19:42] django_: ok so then pay attention to what i'm saying... [19:43] emadhelmi: look it up with "apt-cache search openvpn" [19:43] daftykins: apologies, i didnt mean to type that publically. I'm looking for a zfs channel [19:43] emadhelmi, on Unity 14.04, all I had to do was go to edit connections, Click "add" by using the drop down list to select import a saved VPN configuration, and then select my "filename.ovpn" file [19:44] wizzkidd: message the bot 'alis' [19:44] emadhelmi: "sudo apt-get install openvpn" then "openvpn --config file.ovpn" [19:44] daftykins: oh ok, ill try it [19:45] emadhelmi: not sure if you need to use "sudo openvpn --config file.ovpn". probably if it adds routes [19:45] akik: seems non-user-friendly to point someone to non-GUI options? :) [19:45] OerHeks, Where is edit connections? [19:46] emadhelmi, in your network manager? like this old 12.04 page http://askubuntu.com/questions/187511/how-can-i-use-a-ovpn-file-with-network-manager [19:46] on the network manager icon :> [19:46] what non-gui what? [19:46] might be a bit different, but basicly the same. [19:47] akik: why give someone a CLI solution, if they don't know how to find packages it hints at their experience level :) [19:47] *package [19:47] no need for an extra package, AFAIK. [19:47] good to know :) [19:48] i'll just ignore those comments [19:48] Since the upgrade to Ubuntu 15.10 my PC freezes about 3-4 times a day and I have to restart. How can I check what causes this? [19:48] akik: i'm deadly serious, i think it's advice worth considering - why do you have a problem with that? [19:49] daftykins: i gave instructions on how to use the openvpn client. i don't have a problem with it [19:49] right but CLI only, which doesn't suit all users - nevermind, either you don't understand my point or don't want to. [19:50] daftykins: if you have info on how to install the openvpn gui client, go ahead [19:50] !info network-manager-openvpn [19:50] network-manager-openvpn (source: network-manager-openvpn): network management framework (OpenVPN plugin core). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.10.0-1ubuntu2 (wily), package size 23 kB, installed size 79 kB (Only available for linux-any) [19:50] akik: yes i did. [19:50] hi getting a php error on UBUNTU latest stable funny thing is the error says its looking for a dll which is to the best of my knowledge a windows problem. anyone able to help http://paste.debian.net/333417/ [19:52] transhuman: where did this PHP file come from? have you tried to install some kind of product there? looks like something looking for a hardcoded bunch of libs [19:52] every linux user should be able to use the shell [19:52] PHP build rather than file [19:52] its from my website which is running apache and wordpress [19:52] akik: yes i agree, however that's not appropriate to a new user support channel [19:53] transhuman: is this even an ubuntu VPS, or a debian one? [19:53] daftykins: this channel is for all users, right? [19:53] Ubuntu [19:53] akik, learn to walk before leaning to run [19:53] transhuman: if you pay someone to host this, they may have paid support [19:53] BluesKaj: what? [19:53] learning even [19:54] new users that is, akik [19:54] transhuman, looks like it is not LAMP, but WAMP. [19:54] no its my own hosting. I have been around the block a few, but cant figure out a solution. It says that adding extensions to the php.ini fixes it but the extensions are windows dlls so I am wondering do I need to install something on windows and copy the dll over or something [19:55] not even sure if that would work on the core of it [19:56] transhuman: well that is setting off alarm bells to me, what've you added recently that's calling for those files? [19:56] openssl is installed and so isnt the second ubuntu package [19:56] anyone knows a good file/partition recovery tool? [19:56] dupondje: testdisk [19:56] dupondje: photorec [19:57] had a raid0 where 1 disk failed, was able to copy 1/3rd of the broken disk, but ofc the mdadm array doesn't moint anymore : [19:57] which is part of testdisk :D [19:57] I disabled all but the youtube plugin same thing happens. strange for sure [19:57] daftykins: you type too fast for me :) [19:57] mcphail: :D sorry [19:58] dupondje: recovering a broken raid0 is going to be an exercise in pain/futility. Time to restore from your backup === EriC^^ is now known as eeee [19:58] 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.png [19:58] mcphail: I know, in fact I would just want to be able to mount it, as I think nothing important is on it ... :) [19:59] hello? [19:59] hi... [19:59] Hey [19:59] I'm totally new to this xchat stuff lol [19:59] cool [20:00] VictoriaXOXO: got any themes on firefox? [20:00] daftykins: Not a single one. :) [20:00] I could live with the icon as long as the stupid arrow is gone. [20:00] VictoriaXOXO: putting another on would be a quick test, then it could be your DE icon set yes - which DE? [20:00] Heres a good question, where do i find help on the terminal and using terminal commands [20:00] daftykins: MATE. [20:00] So.... xchat is just for Linux? [20:00] goku_: no don't think so [20:01] Jiffer, good start https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [20:01] goku_ Xchat is just a client of IRC [20:01] hexchat [20:01] ah [20:02] daftykins: Would it be easier to just remove the stupid arrow than the whole icon? [20:02] If yes, how? [20:02] Well, it's more of a triangle than an arrow. [20:02] OerHeks thanks for that link [20:02] VictoriaXOXO: sounds more like a mozilla / firefox question that - i don't personally use bookmarks toolbars [20:03] daftykins: Hmm. [20:03] The harddisk (617 GB / 574 GiB) seems too small! (< 617 GB / 574 GiB) [20:03] blehhhh! :( [20:03] anyone here [20:03] need help [20:03] but drinking :D [20:03] daftykins: But if it IS the DE that I'm using... Is there a good guide to change icons? [20:03] Jiffer: are you wanting to get started as a new user, or more intermediate? [20:03] VictoriaXOXO: surely it's just in your system settings -> appearance config utility [20:03] daftykins: I'll look. Thanks. [20:04] I have some questions concerning cinnamon [20:04] ne1 help me w/audio? [20:04] anyone have WoW on ubuntu [20:04] MrCee3: hmm i think that's more relevant to Mint support - someone might be ableto say whether it's in the Ubuntu repos these days, i'm not sure it is [20:04] MrCee3: please ask the actual questions, not ask if people use things ;) [20:05] WoW try steam...? [20:05] i don't think that game is on steam [20:05] travesty [20:05] whats wow [20:06] women of westshire [20:06] daftykins: Nope. Nothing in there. :( [20:06] Only colors. [20:06] transhuman: 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 :) [20:07] kisb: that'd be a chat question for #ubuntu-offtopic :) [20:07] its fine i figured it out [20:07] kisb: good stuff, but keep it to ubuntu support please :) [20:08] not 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 ubuntu [20:09] (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.png [20:09] test [20:09] anyone here? [20:09] VictoriaXOXO: any mileage in the theme suggestion? i highly recommend asking in the mozilla/firefox channels. message 'alis' to find them [20:09] MrCeeIII: people need to stop asking that [20:09] I have an audio issue [20:09] !details [20:10] Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [20:10] i have one too [20:10] MrCeeIII, nope [20:10] daftykins: I guess I could ask in such a channel, but people always keep sending me back and forth. :P [20:10] oh and draftykins its wily [20:10] senor tree [20:10] i'll have you know i'm warm, not drafty [20:11] oops sorry for the lack of tab typo [20:11] VictoriaXOXO: that's because topics make more sense in places where people work with the program [20:12] daftykins: Yeah, but... Ubuntu -> Firefox -> Mozilla -> Linux -> Mate -> Ubuntu... XD [20:12] I 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 away [20:12] i have audio problems [20:12] its actually faster to answer the question if you know the answer [20:12] VictoriaXOXO: so install a theme, 20 second test. [20:13] kisb: that was a really stupid comment, obviously people will answer if they know. [20:13] i have an audio problem too... my machine wont play wma files the video shows with no sound... [20:13] daftykins: Feels dirty, but I might resort to that. I've never (EVER) installed a theme for anything. [20:13] VictoriaXOXO: nor me but it saves wasting time doesn't it... [20:13] Guess so. [20:13] MrCeeIII: you mean wmv? wma is audio only. [20:13] MrCeeIII_, known issue, there is no WMA drm driver in 15.04/15.10 [20:13] yes wmv [20:13] windows media audio - windows media video. [20:13] at least, i dodn't find it. [20:14] test [20:14] can you stop typing that please [20:14] who [20:14] the who [20:15] phooh === Guest58763 is now known as qdii [20:15] i get video with no sound although everything else works i even tried VLC [20:15] MrCeeIII_, again: known issue, there is no WMA drm driver in 15.04/15.10 [20:15] run the file via mediainfo to check it even has audio [20:15] i have 14.04 lts [20:15] OerHeks: even with mplayer? [20:16] Seveas, i have no cure yet, let me know if you find it [20:17] I don't do .wm?, so can't even test :) [20:17] ok thanks everyone will try mediainfo when i get home (at work now) [20:18] probably needs ubuntu-restricted-extras installed at a minimum [20:18] even this PPA ppa:mc3man/gstffmpeg-keep is not working > gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg [20:18] MrCeeIII_: ^ [20:19] daftykins i do have ubuntu-restricted extras running already [20:19] thanks [20:19] good stuff [20:19] MrCeeIII_: did you try mplayer? It's my go-to mediaplayer for difficult files. [20:19] Q: How dangerous is it to add PPAs? Is there a list of trusted ones or what? [20:19] no i haven't i will tho thanks Seveas [20:20] no it's at your own risk, VictoriaXOXO [20:20] !ppa [20:20] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [20:20] Guuuulp! :o [20:20] try and avoid them as much as possible ideally - if you're more into dev work you'll likely have to dip into one or two if chasing newer versions of things [20:21] risks include malicious content, or disappearing overnight [20:21] normally find ppas on www.webupd8.org i consider them safe [20:21] Question, 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 future [20:21] Jiffer: what are you running to resolve it each time, exactly? [20:22] Jiffer, is ubuntu installed? [20:22] insert guest addons [20:22] on 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] daftykins: I need to check the PPA I added. [20:22] VictoriaXOXO: that's a bit of a vague statement, define 'check' [20:22] I have it installe don a 8GB virtualbox [20:22] daftykins: Well, I just want to look at the address. [20:23] VictoriaXOXO: 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] bradland: that's set in /etc/environment [20:23] i've checked ~/.profile ~/.bashrc /etc/bash.bashrc [20:23] Seveas: @_@ [20:24] daftykins: I just found it. Does this look malicious to you? "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nilarimogard/webupd8/ubuntu trusty main" [20:24] dur, thanks [20:24] seems like an odd choice [20:24] why? [20:24] there's so much path mangling going on elsewhere [20:24] So 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] VictoriaXOXO: i can't tell you what's safe, because i do not and will not use it - really. [20:24] why separate this one out? [20:24] XD [20:25] daftykins: There's no list or stats of the most widely used PPAs? [20:25] need help with audio [20:25] VictoriaXOXO: i've already said it's down to you to decide [20:25] so invoking `/bin/bash -l -c my_awesome_script` doesn't load /etc/environment. [20:26] nagromlt: you need to describe your problem to get a response. [20:26] sry, this is from within a cron job [20:26] daftykins: Yes, but if maaaaaany people use it, at least I'm not the only one getting screwed. :P [20:26] hi [20:27] something is wrong with my ubuntu instance [20:27] the package manager [20:27] seems totally f'd [20:27] can i just nuke the whole thing [20:27] VictoriaXOXO: then your favourite search engine will be your best approach - since these are very, very basic queries. [20:27] and get apt to reset clean [20:27] d4rklit3: what are the symptoms? [20:27] well like i had nodejs installed [20:27] daftykins /?/ rear speakers stopped working after upgrade to 15.10 [20:27] d4rklit3: "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" in a pastebin please [20:27] nagromlt: 5.1 set huh? is this on a stereo audio source? [20:27] d4rklit3: and don't use the enter key as if it's a spacebar... [20:28] sorry [20:28] daftykins /?/ usually I'll just reinstall pulse/alsa but this time they still dont work [20:28] daftykins /?/ 4.1 [20:28] VictoriaXOXO, use it at your own risc, and report to the maintainer, not here. [20:28] nagromlt: right but what's the source material? [20:28] we don't do anything about it. [20:29] nagromlt: 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. [20:30] daftykins /?/ not clone. had full surround befor [20:30] nagromlt: you only get surround audio when the source is surround, e.g. a film - you still haven't answered what the source material is. [20:31] http://pastie.org/private/srkq4oxwqqxxjdgkaap8hg [20:31] daftykins /?/ source? the server...? [20:31] :/ [20:31] the source of the audio [20:31] my cpu [20:31] i.e. the thing we're talking about [20:32] ? [20:32] no... [20:32] yes [20:32] d4rklit3: which ubuntu version are you running? You have trusty and quantal sources... [20:32] 14.04 [20:32] ubuntu is the source? [20:32] example: watching youtube, sound is stereo = 2.0 [20:32] linux? [20:32] oh [20:32] no you're talking absolute nonsense [20:32] im sorry what? [20:32] d4rklit3: then remove the quantal and mongodb repos from /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d [20:33] games I guess... but tried other things besides games... like playing audio (surround) in VLC??? [20:33] all the things. [20:33] you 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 analog [20:33] whereas with a digital setup, e.g. optical out, passthrough audio needs to be used to bitstream dolby digital to a comptible receiver [20:34] yes... codecs that support surround dont work [20:34] Seveas, now what? [20:34] codecs in THE source [20:34] nagromlt: yeah so configure your player appropriately [20:34] im tryin to upgrade my node version [20:34] d4rklit3: once you removed that, apt should not gets its knickers knotted anymore :) [20:34] adding the new PPA doesn't install anymore [20:34] d4rklit3: your sources file is hosed, it contains multiple ubuntu versions combined, you can't do that. [20:34] ok let me try [20:34] oh Seveas already replied, sorry Seveas [20:35] that worked [20:35] thanks [20:35] d4rklit3: 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 :) [20:36] whats wrong with the ppa [20:36] @_@ [20:37] kisb, 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] hi 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 time [20:38] JediMaster: what's top saying? [20:39] watch it and screenshot/pastebin when load spokes [20:39] daftykins, didn't have top open at the time, however got zabbix graphs [20:39] well if you link some data if you have it, that wouldn't hurt - but i don't know what zabbix is [20:40] it's a 16 core VMWare Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit machine [20:40] basically normally cpu system time is around 1-2%, and it was 9% during that problem time [20:40] hehehe [20:41] cpu steal, 0, IRQ around 0.3%, nice 0%, iowait around 0.4% user time 12% rest idle [20:41] vmware host, or guest?

Things that contain personal information, encryption keys, passwords, or stuff like that? [20:43] !ot [20:43] !ot | Goku_ [20:43] Goku_, please see my private message [20:43] JediMaster: with which kernel? [20:44] Hi I saw your private messgae. I never used this app before [20:44] daftykins, 3.16.0-51-generic #69~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 7 15:32:41 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [20:44] hi to all [20:44] Goku_: this channel is for technical support only. please use ##chat for chatting [20:44] VictoriaXOXO, of course, but it isn't often somebody will ask for something that has such information in it [20:44] Sorry [20:44] ##chat [20:44] maxtimbo: How do I know, though? :/ [20:45] Goku_, type: /join ##chat [20:45] JediMaster: 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 kernel [20:45] I've just installed Ubunut 15.10 on my dell e7240 can anybody tell me how to disable keyboard backlight on boot? [20:45] I don't need it [20:45] daftykins, do you think it's a kernel related issue then? [20:45] VictoriaXOXO: main reason we give support in an open channel that, so others can warn if something is unsafe to run [20:46] You 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] JediMaster: 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 perspective [20:46] daftykins: maxtimbo: Oh, okay. [20:46] VictoriaXOXO: /etc/shadow and ~/.ssh/* [20:46] daftykins: maxtimbo: explosive: So almost all .log files people ask for are safe to share? [20:47] Just use your best judgement, VictoriaXOXO . and if something strikes you as "I shouldn't share that" then don't share it. [20:47] daftykins, sorry this is averaged out over 16 cores, it certainly wasn't massively high, but more an indication something was wrong [20:47] maxtimbo: My best judgement doesn't reach Linux. XD [20:48] daftykins, 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 before [20:48] brb === explosive is now known as uyar [20:49] JediMaster: ok, well my preference is definitely to avoid these HWEs entirely and keep 14.04 trusty on the 3.13 kernel - but YMMV [20:50] VictoriaXOXO: 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. === uyar is now known as EriC^^ [20:50] VictoriaXOXO: 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 :) [20:51] daftykins: Hmm. That could be annoying. How do I do the grip thing again? [20:51] grep* [20:51] man grep [20:51] VictoriaXOXO: most people here are on the look out and will jump to your aid [20:51] "grep /path/to/file" [20:52] add -i to grep to cover all cases [20:52] daftykins: kisb: EriC^^: Okay, sounds good. [20:53] I 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] just learning really, you should write your own notes really to get going quickly [20:54] !bash [20:54] The 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/UsingTheTerminal [20:54] hmm that's not the one i was thinking of [20:54] writing cheat sheats will automatic memorize the commands [20:54] XD [20:55] really you have to stick at things and use them regularly for them to go in [20:55] oooh i wrote one some time back. a short guide [20:58] VictoriaXOXO: i always recommend the free Linux intro course on www.edx.org - called LFS101x though, for those wanting a leg up [20:58] I stopped using the gui for common tasks and used only the terminal for a couple months to get used to it. === newbie is now known as Guest96778 [20:59] daftykins: Boooooookmarked. [21:01] i can recommend a nice short book [21:02] youtube also has lots of videos to learn from [21:02] I try to start a c++ program with expect but it doesnt seem to work, isn't the line spawn "./program" correct? [21:03] in my experience youtube advice folks are well below average [21:03] they are little kids sometimes [21:05] Argento: 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 correct [21:06] well it is compiled into a binary I hope, when I type ./program it starts [21:06] doesnt that mean it's compiled? [21:06] Argento: yeah not sure I understand what the question is if the program launches, just confirming? [21:07] well 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 script [21:09] Argento: 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 it [21:10] I run it by typing ./script [21:10] I will paste it, hold on [21:10] Q: Is updating through the update manager the same thing as doing sudo apt-get update/upgrade? [21:10] VictoriaXOXO: yeah, it's like apt-get dist-upgrade [21:11] here it is [21:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/13318071/ [21:11] not much but I just wanted to see if I could get the program running as a start [21:11] VictoriaXOXO: not exactly. you will need to run "apt-get dist-upgrade" in terminal [21:11] EriC^^: dist-upgrade? Not regular update? :/ [21:11] !dist-upgrade | VictoriaXOXO [21:11] VictoriaXOXO: 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] hello all im following a tutorial to install headless fireofx [21:11] it says: [21:11] "In /etc/apt/sources.list add the following line..." [21:11] what does thatmean [21:12] ' /etc/apt/sources.list [21:12] EriC^^: So... what's the difference between dist-upgrade and update? [21:12] Failed 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] expect is not a shell [21:12] VictoriaXOXO: 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 updates [21:12] Argento: haven't used this myself but the example I'm seeing here uses -f flag on the expect call itself [21:12] Argento: http://www.admin-magazine.com/Articles/Automating-with-Expect-Scripts [21:12] 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] django_: reduce the amount of lines you spam us with when you ask things [21:12] I removed Firefox because I was having some problems with it, and now it won't reinstall - it can't fetch certain package files [21:12] EriC^^: My head spins. [21:12] wafflejock: thanks for the tips, I will give it a try [21:13] k1l: But the automatic update manager is so easy. :( [21:13] hello everyone, do you know of an effective and loss-free compression tool for large-sized files (50-100gb) like images or iso? [21:13] VictoriaXOXO: its automated. [21:13] causative: old version grab attempt there, did you not update package lists prior? [21:13] so you use that if it works for you [21:13] k1l: Well... don't I have to manually run that command every now and then? [21:13] causative: which release are you on? "cat /etc/issue" [21:13] 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 too [21:14] django_: thats a file, you'd need to edit it with your favorite editor [21:14] 14.04.3 LTS [21:14] EriC^^: Oh, okay. Makes sense now. [21:14] VictoriaXOXO: the update-manager is fine. if you want to manually do it on the terminal you need the commands we said [21:14] update updates the repositories so that when you install a software you get the latest version or upgrade [21:14] k1l: Got it. [21:14] Easy enough. [21:14] Pici: "In /etc/apt/sources.list add the following line. ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable" [21:14] Pici: do i do that in the command prompt? [21:15] django_: dont do that [21:15] django_: 3rd party repos like that PPA belong to sources.list.d [21:15] django_: that wouldn't be a valid entry. if you want that added, do sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable [21:15] http://www.installationpage.com/selenium/how-to-run-selenium-headless-firefox-in-ubuntu/ [21:15] manes: 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 archiving [21:15] causative: "sudo apt update && apt-cache policy firefox | nc termbin.com 9999" [21:16] django_: unfortunately that part of the instructions are incorrect [21:16] it's updating, thanks for mentioning that [21:16] although the updating seems to be stuck at "Waiting for headers" now [21:17] causative: can you copy that output into a http://paste.ubuntu.com and link it here? [21:17] Guys whats the simplest way to share network folders on your home network, between ubuntu machines? [21:17] hay [21:17] i have one with xubuntu and one with kubuntu [21:17] if you are updating for the first time it takes long long [21:17] ssarah: for regular swapping? samba shares [21:18] kisb, well there's no network activity, it's just waiting [21:18] ssarah: bear in mind you can also install openssh-server on both; then connect by browsing to sftp://hostname/ in the address bar of your file manager, most likely. [21:19] causative: what host is it trying to reach, then? if you can't paste it [21:19] ssarah: See: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2159449 <-easiest way to cp files 'tween two Lubuntus that share the same router/house (Morbius1) [21:19] daftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13318135/ [21:19] ssarah: I'd say Samba of course, haven't needed to use it, but samba shares would work on pretty much any OS [21:19] daftykins, oh wait now it said Ign http://dl.google.com stable InRelease and it's waiting for headers again, so i guess it's still going [21:20] causative, its not stuck [21:20] brompt, I see..are there any command line options to adjust compression ratio with these tools? [21:20] causative: if you're on a slow connection, patience is key :) [21:20] manes: sorta, depends, what are you trying to compress and for what purpose? [21:21] thanks guys! [21:21] brompt, an .img file [21:21] so that it occupies less space [21:21] causative: just do some catchup on your X-files watching, that'd cover for the updates =) [21:22] ubuntu o ubuntu Mate ????? [21:22] hi === fsociety is now known as Guest11850 [21:22] ok I've add echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/dell\:\:kbd_backlight/brightness to /etc/rc.local [21:22] salve sou br porra [21:22] but it's not working [21:22] hello [21:22] fernando_: try both, pick - that choice is personal so we can't tell you [21:23] manes: you're trying to compress an img file? hmmm I guess if the file itself is "not" compressed, you could.... I'd use something like bzip2 or rar, either of those have a better compression ratio than zip [21:23] hello [21:23] nbs [21:24] !english | Guest11850 [21:24] Guest11850: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [21:24] manes: 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 .img [21:24] bprompt, the file itself is not compressed. [21:24] manes: then try bzip2 or rar === miguel is now known as Guest29347 [21:26] manes: 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] manes: they all have flags for adjusting the particular details of the compression as well though [21:27] wafflejock, so if speed doesnt matter, 7zip hast the best compression rate [21:27] is the one to choose, I mean [21:27] manes: in general with the defaults... not sure about all the details though [21:28] I'm having a slight sound problem. my sound is coming out of my laptop instead of my TV, and I think it's because my laptop's the default... Is there any way to change that? I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with XUbuntu installed, and I'm using Pulseaudio. [21:28] so xfce? pavucontrol might help to pick device, jct500thz ? [21:29] manes: not sure on that, I think it depends, I've used 7zip .7z format... I don't recall it to be better than rar's though [21:29] Isn't pavucontrol a terminal thing, daftykins? [21:29] maybe comparable, but not better [21:29] My Ubuntu-based server has been randomly crashing lately...one moment it's fine, and then my ssh connections drop and it stops responding to any requests. [21:29] jct500thz: one way to find out [21:29] wouldn't hurt either way [21:30] w/50 [21:30] I tried plugging in a monitor and keyboard while it's in this crashed state, but entering stuff on the keyboard doesn't wake up the monitor. [21:30] bit of a random question: Dell AOIs with Ubuntu come with a funky presintalled Ubuntu splash video. Is that unique to Dell? I presumed (incorrectly) that an OEM install might include it [21:30] trimeta: VPS or physical system at home? [21:30] Physical system that I can poke at as needed. [21:30] Although that hasn't been helping. [21:30] daftykins, It launches a GUI setup, and actually, that's the one I use. What would I need to do inside of pavucontrol? [21:30] jct500thz: dig around to change default *shrug* [21:30] I'm looking through logs to see if anything shows what happened, but kern.log just shows the progress of my BTRFS RAID5 rebalance operation. [21:31] bprompt, 7zip man page says it has the highest compression, that would be preferable [21:31] Mmkay === marshal0605 is now known as marshal0505 [21:31] trimeta: i'd be memtesting or checking SMART disk health personally [21:31] anyone knows how to disable keyboar backlight on boot? [21:31] manes: some tests here http://catchchallenger.first-world.info//wiki/Quick_Benchmark:_Gzip_vs_Bzip2_vs_LZMA_vs_XZ_vs_LZ4_vs_LZO 7z uses LZMA I'm pretty sure [21:31] dziq: how do you disable it usually? [21:32] fn+right arrow [21:32] this is wired, the problem exists only on ubuntu [21:32] previously I've had Fedora [21:33] no issues with kbd backlight [21:33] is there a command you can run to disable it? [21:33] Hello there [21:33] EriC^^: yep [21:33] dziq: add it to /etc/rc.local maybe === AndChat|262656 is now known as Sputniks [21:33] what's the command? [21:34] red_apple: echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/dell\:\:kbd_backlight/brightness [21:34] EriC^^: echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/dell\:\:kbd_backlight/brightness [21:34] Anyone here know use kali [21:34] but I have to run it as root [21:34] dziq: try adding it to /etc/rc.local [21:35] Daftykins, I figured it out. Thanks for telling me where to go! [21:35] EriC^^: i've tried [21:35] wafflejock, just selected 7z, and started compression. that seems to be the right one [21:35] no luck [21:35] there might be a kernel parameter you can add to grub too [21:35] jct500thz: \o/ np! [21:35] yes I've added video.use_native_backlight=1 to grub.cfg [21:35] it's not working too [21:36] bprompt, wafflejock, thank you very much for your insights! [21:36] try adding the command to root's crontab as @reboot [21:36] I need try break my wifi wpa2.... Im using aircrack ng [21:36] manes: np always good to learn a bit more myself too, have typically just used gzip and called it good enough but good to know the trade offs for each [21:37] Sputniks: no, that topic is not permitted here nor on freenode. [21:37] Ops...im sorry [21:37] manes: well, in a farmer's market, if you ask anyone of the tomatoes vendors who has the best and juicest tomatoes, he/she would say he/she does, yes, if you ask 20 of them, you'd have 20 stands selling the best and juicest tomatoes, by superlative terms, of course, all 20 are being subjective and 19 of do not have the best and juicest one [21:38] Hi all, it seems the DNS servers I have set in my resolv.conf have become entirely too slow to use. I wish to remove them, what is the correct way to to this? The resolv.conf file says not to edit directly. [21:38] manes: so, yes, 7zip website will say things like that, pretty sure zip tools will say the same thing [21:39] devsys: server or desktop? [21:39] server [21:39] bprompt_: I don't think the benchmarks I linked are related to 7z in any way and found quite a few posts claiming the same results [21:39] devsys: as long as 'resolvconf' has been purged, you can hardcode resolv.conf after one reboot [21:39] devsys sudo -e /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base [21:39] bprompt_: I don't have any personal loyalty to 7z or anything :) [21:40] devsys nameserver x.x.x.x ... save... then: sudo resolvconf -u [21:40] MonkeyDust: 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] 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 it [21:40] devsys yes, it's a blank file, add 'namerver x.x.x.x' and save [21:40] bprompt, it is not written on 7zip page, but on ubuntu man page [21:41] MonkeyDust: 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] devsys: perhaps you're seeing 127.0.1.1 in there? [21:41] devsys did you sudo resolvconf -u <-- means update [21:41] bprompt_: ah yeah gotcha, yeah never good to just trust the salesman or provider to tell you who's best [21:41] I said 'bprompt, 7zip man page says it has the highest compression, that would be preferable' not '7zip website' [21:42] 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 not [21:42] MonkeyDust: 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) [21:43] well this isn't fun... [21:43] I just installed 15.10 and I get the same error I got on 14.04.3LTS [21:43] something about problems with Xorg === knite_ is now known as knite [21:43] devsys: you might want to check /etc/network/interfaces and verify the old nameservers aren't specified there [21:44] Ok, I found the old nameservers listed in head, removing them now,. Mystery solved [21:44] samthewildone: new system or graphics card or something? === JethroTux is now known as JethroTuxU7 [21:44] wafflejock, same system since ww2 [21:45] still having themes problems, sam ? [21:45] wafflejock, plus I just installed 14.04.3LTS about 8.5hrs ago [21:45] hi [21:45] wafflejock, took it off and slapped on 15.10 Gnome [21:45] samthewildone: what issues exactly? [21:45] OerHeks, yup [21:45] Last question about the resolv.conf, do I need to restart networking or anything for it to take effect? [21:45] devsys: you can no longer do that on ubuntu [21:45] regardless [21:45] devsys won't harm, i guess [21:46] k1l, after I do all my installing and building of applications, I get a apport error about xorg fail/crashed. [21:46] full reboot is best [21:46] devsys ok, what daftykins says [21:46] ok Ill bounce it, thanks again all [21:46] samthewildone: what installing? [21:48] hi, is it possible to find out what config option where used to build a ubuntu package? [21:48] reading the package manifest will show it [21:49] hi i have problem on my package.. help me [21:49] quest9: details [21:49] blb14409, DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS [21:49] k1l, my typically applications I install on a new install [21:49] I'm getting this error when I try to install some packages: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/k/krb5/libkrb5support0_1.12+dfsg-2ubuntu5.1_amd64.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.200 80] [21:49] Seems that the 5_1 version is not there [21:49] But 5_2 is [21:50] I have done apt-get update before installing [21:50] but to no avail [21:50] any idea what I'm doing wrong? [21:50] error w3af.. [21:50] samthewildone: and prior to that all worked? [21:50] i use backbox [21:50] k1l, its a fresh install, how would I know ? [21:50] dunk: what version is this? "cat /etc/issue" [21:50] dunk: run "sudo apt-get update" before? [21:50] !backbox | quest9 [21:50] quest9: Backbox Linux is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu and is thus not supported in #ubuntu. Please use #backbox on irc.autistici.org or https://forum.backbox.org/ for help with it. [21:51] k1l: I have. === marshal0605 is now known as marshal0505 [21:51] oke.thanks friend [21:52] daftykins: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS [21:52] I'm installing via Docker [21:52] dunk: that version is outdated. maybe the mirrors you are using still got the old package list. just wait some time to let it sync or use another mirror [21:52] The install commands are in a Dockerfile [21:53] do it natively [21:53] I can't [21:53] My whole build chain is Docker [21:53] oh it's one of those stupid restricted setups, i see [21:53] thanks daftykins ... now after reinstalling firefox, it's still having the same problems as before, chiefly: the address bar drop down box isn't working [21:53] causative: reset your profile with it. === truexfan81_ is now known as truexfan81 [21:54] close all open windows, then run "firefox -profilemanager" to start it; either delete the existing if you require no backup, or create a test profile [21:56] daftykins, still doesn't work after doing that [21:58] causative: try a purge reinstall [21:58] ikonia: where do I find package metafile? [21:58] daftykins: once you buy in, you're kinda fucked [21:59] In some ways I regret this Docker decision... [22:00] ikonia: I mean manifest file [22:01] Guys, question: is 15.04 upgradeable to 16.04 when 16.04 comes out? [22:01] knob: no. You'll need to upgrade to 15.10 first. [22:01] dunk: language, please [22:01] knob: You can only skip releases when you go from one LTS to the next. [22:02] knob, yes, 15.04 > 15.10 > 16.04 .. not directly [22:02] ^ and even then it only becomes available at the first point release, e.g. 16.04.1 [22:02] daftykins: sorry. A slip I won't repeat. [22:02] hi, some have some idea about how to put a mantenance page for varios web sites from diferents web servers? [22:03] Pici, so I can go 15.10 to 16.04? [22:04] josuebarrios: w0t? [22:04] daftykins: 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 come [22:04] to 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. [22:06] dunk: nasty. do they have a channel on freenode? [22:06] yeah, I'm in it I think [22:07] I'll go have a whinge [22:07] :-) [22:07] OerHeks, I just understood what Pici said with your comment. I go from 15.04 to 15.10 and then to 16.04 [22:07] What about a 14.10 server? Can I bring it up to 15.04? I am getting a bunch of errors. I think the consensus was to re-install everything in a new 14.04 server. [22:08] Not that hard to do... I don't have that much stuff on the server, plus I have very good documentation of what I did. [22:08] just use the following command [22:08] knob: 14.04 good, 14.10 = EOL [22:08] knob, there is an oldreleases trick to upgrade 14.10, see ubottu [22:08] !eolupgrade [22:08] 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 [22:08] do-release-upgrade [22:08] sudo do-release-upgrade [22:08] Thanks OerHeks ... reading up now. [22:09] game0, trying that in a minute [22:09] game0, that does not work, on 14,10 .. too long ago. [22:09] ahh... ok. After some time, it no longer works. ok ok [22:09] http://askubuntu.com/questions/91815/how-to-install-software-or-upgrade-from-an-old-unsupported-release [22:10] knob read this topic: http://askubuntu.com/questions/91815/how-to-install-software-or-upgrade-from-an-old-unsupported-release [22:10] it's very useful [22:10] the bot already linked the official howto [22:10] on my way [22:10] same info as ubuntu gives.. [22:12] daftykins, tried apt-get remove --purge firefox, then reinstalled, didn't work, so now I removed firefox and am also doing apt-get autoremove in case there is some problem in one of the supporting packages [22:14] causative: you can do 'purge' instead of 'remove --purge' ; sounds fair - anything else could be down to graphics / driver / DE quirks maybe [22:14] worth trying in the guest session [22:15] daftykins, 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 ? icon [22:16] causative: yeah i'd definitely log out, log into the guest session, then test firefox; see if it behaves normally there [22:18] yeah, 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 well [22:20] causative: yep, when purging i always "sudo apt-get clean" [22:20] Hello, got a question. Installed ubuntu then installed kde desktop, however now I have missing icons for many apps, such as firefox, thunderbird, skype and many more. How may I fix it? [22:21] vadimkolchev: kde from the repos? [22:21] k1l: yes [22:21] maybe you need the whole kubuntu-desktop package [22:21] k1l: I installed it [22:21] hey guys, I've installed ubuntu inside my windows 7 machine. I'm currently upgrading from Ubuntu 12 to 14. Unity has disappeared and not accessible. Is this normal behahiour during an upgrade? [22:22] Hi s, You Are In My Friends List (ArthasScript) [22:22] Info Line For s, NOTSET (ArthasScript) [22:22] mircx1, stop that script! [22:22] i do not know you === s is now known as Guest25043 === Guest25043 is now known as marsh [22:22] hello all [22:22] hbbunny: inside means...? do you mean WUBI? [22:22] sorry yes [22:23] sorry we don't support wubi, as it's an abomination [22:23] ok fair enough [22:23] i an needing help [22:23] !wubi [22:23] Wubi was a way to install Ubuntu from within Windows, but it is no longer supported in recent versions of Ubuntu and was never well maintained even for Ubuntu 12.04. Do not use Wubi. See !install for other options for installing Ubuntu. [22:23] your best bet is to backup any data, nuke it, then install beside Windows instead [22:24] marsh: we're needing a question with details :) [22:24] marsh let's hear it, in one line [22:25] i just installed xubuntu and when i boot my computer it tells me to insert a bootable disk [22:25] marsh disable the cd-rom in your sources [22:25] how do i do that [22:25] i think that's a bootloader comment, you mean xubuntu won't boot, marsh? [22:26] it will if i have the usb plugged in [22:26] marsh: Go into BIOS and change boot order? [22:26] but when i turn on the computer it throws me that error [22:26] i have done that [22:26] Oh. :/ [22:27] sounds like GRUB installed to the wrong drive [22:27] !bootinfo | marsh [22:27] marsh: Boot info script is a useful script for diagnosing boot problems. Please run the script following the directions here: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ and then !pastebin the RESULTS.txt for us to use to help diagnose your problem. [22:27] marsh: boot, chroot your install, then install grub to the HDD [22:27] i have done that [22:27] then what Jordan_U made ubottu say [22:27] and it will not boot bootinfoscript [22:28] it shows up in a command line [22:28] how do i install the grub [22:28] you don't boot a script; it should upload some output to share [22:28] hang on i thought you said you did try installing grub? [22:29] no i did not try to install the grub i was asking how === darek is now known as Guest24850 [22:29] ah, the timing on "i have done that" threw me [22:29] so boot to your install flash drives' live session first [22:29] !grub [22:29] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [22:30] it is not even showing a grub [22:30] i know, that's why you're going to install it [22:30] read the links :) [22:33] !pm [22:33] Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. [22:34] marsh: What do you mean by "it will not boot boot info script"? Can you boot Ubuntu in any way (including via LiveDVD/USB) and run boot info script from there? === germaxhipo is now known as Germax [22:35] daftykins, from a guest account firefox works fine with respect to both the launcher icon and the address bar dropdown box, what does that mean I should do? [22:36] causative: dunno, something about your ~ configs is trashing it - are you sure you tried a totally clean profile as suggested? [22:37] daftykins, I launched firefox -profilemanager as suggested and created a new profile [22:38] did you pick to run that one when you started firefox, though? [22:38] so it behaved like a first run? [22:40] wait, it is working with a new profile, I think the last time I didn't take the necessary steps to trigger the address bar dropdown box [22:41] :) === lvh_ is now known as lvh [22:52] Q: What's the closest application to Window's MPC-HC? [22:52] I don't like VLC. [22:52] i'm a fan of that on Windows too, you're ultimately screwed - maybe mplayer [22:53] daftykins: Hmm, okay. [22:54] VictoriaXOXO: http://alternativeto.net/software/mpc-hc/?platform=linux [22:54] Kodi ? [22:54] well, Kodi is a full screen UI designed for 10 foot really [22:55] Wow. VLC at 4328 likes and MPlayer at 269 likes. [22:56] * daftykins never liked VLC either [22:56] vlc awesome [22:56] You know what to do. I expect a MPC-HC port by tomorrow morning. [22:57] there aren't enough cookies in all the world [22:57] daftykins: Is Wine + MPC-HC too stupid? [22:57] yes [22:57] yes [22:57] Darn. [22:57] VictoriaXOXO, it is already there, but you will find out tomorrow [22:57] :P [22:57] MPC-HC uses APIs and functions for Windows only [22:57] e.g. DXVA [22:58] Bah. [22:58] It's like losing a close friend. [22:58] Something I don't see on the list there is Kaffeine === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [23:01] i have zfs working on my Ubuntu 15.10 however after each restart, the zpool is not mounted. Can anyone help me make this persistent? [23:01] VictoriaXOXO: you could try installing mplayer, I use smplayer, a GUI for mplayer, is skinnable, BTW, VLC 2.x and up are skinnable, and you can change it to make it look like windows media player [23:01] edit /etc/fstab for permanent file system mounts [23:02] bprompt_: That's kewl and all, but it's not the skin I'm worrying about. :P [23:02] VictoriaXOXO: some specific feature, or? [23:02] daftykins: it is not a filesystem mount... i need to import the pool [23:03] hehe [23:03] wizzkidd: ok [23:03] daftykins: There's a long list of things that grinds my gears. Forget about it, since it's boring. :P [23:03] And not really for this channel, I guess. [23:03] VictoriaXOXO: vlc is just as good as mplayer, I use both, in terms of decoding, is the same pretty much [23:03] bprompt_: Well, it looks like I'm stuck with VLC or MPlayer. [23:04] I'll have to make my choice. [23:04] VictoriaXOXO: There are many other players. Is there anything specific about the UI or features that you want? [23:04] There's a long list of things that "grinds my gears." <---- there's the clincher =P, just biases then :P [23:05] bprompt_: Pfffff. [23:05] bprompt_: that was a very immature comment [23:05] Jordan_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] daftykins: not sure I share you view... but I'm listening [23:05] that'd be off topic. [23:06] 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 preference === Gravity is now known as Guest99797 [23:06] VictoriaXOXO: 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). [23:07] s/suite/suit/ [23:07] VictoriaXOXO: either way, you don't have to like it, that's alright, but mplayer is another player you could use :) [23:07] bprompt_: I'll consider it. [23:07] Jordan_U: I'll look them up. [23:08] 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 decoding [23:11] Hi all! I'm relatively new into Linux. should i install any kind of antivirus/malware? I read a lot of contradictory things [23:11] !virus | torcuato869 [23:11] torcuato869: 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/Antivirus [23:11] torcuato869: my vote is no [23:11] Thanks guys [23:12] actually I'm using a dual boot with windows. Obviously Windows is protected [23:13] i need help, please. how to install office xp? [23:13] !wine | Pirangueiro [23:13] Pirangueiro: 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 [23:13] install libreoffice [23:13] Pirangueiro: i'm sure there's a better approach to whatever your task is. [23:13] i guess that should mean ms office there [23:13] libreoffice is already there :-D [23:13] thanks [23:14] such old office without bugfixes .. good luck [23:15] What do you think about the Ubuntu Studio distro? Is a good distro? [23:15] ubuntu-studio is ubuntu, so yes [23:15] torcuato869: it works and is an official ubuntu flavor [23:16] Anybody experience garbage green artifacts and occasional stuttering sound when watching ATSC over the air TV in Ubuntu with a USB TV tuner? [23:17] it happens in both Kaffeine and Me-tv === Monthrect is now known as Piper-Off [23:17] marcus68723, yes, due to extentioncords without groundwire. [23:20] i get intramfs boot issue with uuid. I can "mount /dev/sda1" then exit to boot, how do i fix? [23:20] hello i need help creating a launcher on my desktop... who got me? [23:20] MrCeeIII, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UnityLaunchersAndDesktopFiles [23:21] hylian: are you saying you get dropped to initramfs if your fstab contains UUIDs? [23:21] well im an newb would love a step by stepo [23:22] Anybody with experience in Creative USB X-Fi sound cards?! [23:22] that wiki is pretty clear [23:22] cblake: just ask the actual question to the channel [23:23] is upstart supported still? [23:24] in releases that use it which are still supported [23:24] my sound card's Mic gain is very very low.. alsamixer showing dB gain max to 6.. any ideas?! [23:24] akkad: its still supported. but since 15.04 we have systemd as standard. [23:24] akkad: im trying to find out whether to use systemd or upstart to automount my zfs pools [23:26] is systemd easier to debug? [23:26] the better question, is "what is LTS?" and the answer is not systemd until 16.04 :) [23:26] :D [23:27] so 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] my sound card's Mic gain is very very low.. alsamixer showing dB gain max to 6.. any ideas?! [23:27] !repeat [23:27] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [23:28] i'd look for an alsa/pa channel - cblake [23:28] in case nobody replies [23:28] i get intramfs boot issue with uuid. I can "mount /dev/sda1" then exit to boot, how do i fix? [23:28] hylian: i asked you a question and didn't get a reply [23:29] daftykins: i didn't see it [23:29] < daftykins> hylian: are you saying you get dropped to initramfs if your fstab contains UUIDs? [23:29] daftykins: i guess yes. [23:30] there shouldn't be a need to guess, you should know [23:30] hi 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] hylian: what caused this problem to first appear? what happened between when it worked and now? [23:30] daftykins: this is a fresh install of ubuntu [23:31] hylian: ah ok, is it the sole OS? are you typing from a live session on this system? [23:31] daftykins: yes sole os [23:31] So 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] With image 3, that is when everything is plugged in. With image 2, that is with only my root and home drive plugged in. [23:32] daftykins, alright [23:32] hylian: and the second question? [23:33] daftykins: 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] hylian: no i'm suggesting that you *do* boot from USB to poke around and fix [23:33] alem: lots of disks there huh? do you press 'S' at the error in image 1? [23:34] No, it automatically bypassed it [23:34] Which was honestly, odd. [23:34] alem, looks like you forgot a sata cable [23:34] or notpropperly connected [23:34] daftykins: i have tried that first, continues to have this option. i wish i could just force intramfs to use the old /dev/sda1 system... [23:35] daftykins: *issue [23:35] I 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] hylian: tried what? i'm saying boot to live session then have a look around at the boot configs [23:35] alem, maybe an other sata port on your mobo, without updating the bios it will not see it. [23:35] alem, updating bios = enter bios, and save it. [23:35] daftykins: i did just that. /etc/fstab has the same uuid as sudo blkid says it should... [23:35] Alright, well, I will reseat all the cables and see if that helps with anything. [23:36] hylian: ok now that's language i can understand. did you try chroot-ing your installation then updating the initramfs? [23:38] daftykins: no, dont know how to chroot, never had to before. === EOIP is now known as crocodilehunter [23:38] hylian: ok so boot to the live session first [23:39] daftykins: ok, i hate to do it because it's sooo slow, but.. will do [23:39] from flash drive? shouldn't be. [23:40] daftykins: this is an older vista laptop from dell, speed isn't it's strong point. (intel celeron). ;) [23:41] right, just wondered if you were booting from DVD [23:42] daftykins: ok booted to usb. just fyi, needed to force a driver for wifi, so now that pc is net less. [23:42] I 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? [23:43] hylian: ok. have a look at the red lines here: http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2010/06/02/how-to-chroot-to-ubuntu-using-live-cd-to-fix-grub-rescue-prompt/ [23:44] join === DefunctProcess is now known as DefunctProcessZZ [23:45] hylian: if you're not familiar with identifying your partitions and so on, "sudo parted -l" is ace [23:47] naturally that guide is for something else, so skip step 7 [23:47] Hey [23:48] lo [23:48] Are my old buds here [23:48] fll_ [23:48] lff+? [23:48] support only === BlastRed[Has is now known as BlastRed [23:48] i cant remember his name [23:48] but it was like llm_ [23:48] i think like that [23:49] and bashing-om [23:49] BlastRed: ubuntu support only, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [23:49] Yes i know haha [23:49] i was here yesterday [23:49] im resuming on my previous topic [23:49] then cut the chat and follow rules please [23:49] I said, "are my old buds here" as in, "where are the people who were helping me yesterday" [23:50] just resume the support query, don't fight policy. [23:50] bashing-om . where are you. [23:50] Lol [23:51] we 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 now [23:51] Okay, generic question as im switching my other ubuntu hard drive into a computer [23:51] BlastRed: they may well be here, but unless you state specifics, you wouldn't know [23:51] oky im sorry :3 [23:51] So i have two laptops of a relative size [23:51] If i replace one hard drive into the other, will that have all my files and data from the previous comp? and the OS? [23:52] .3. [23:52] yes because the hard disk is the storage device [23:52] Nice.... [23:52] Thats awesome [23:52] daftykins: i got 1 error, "unable to resolve host xubuntu"..?? [23:52] but only if it was on its' own, i.e. it wasn't a multiple drive system [23:52] its a problem with your internet hylian [23:53] hylian: why are you trying to do anything online? chroot doesn't require this [23:53] ive gotten that before, you probably want to check your ip [23:53] BlastRed: um, no it's not./ [23:53] not even close :) [23:53] Really? i had the same error "unable to resolve host" in a certain game, and i ended up fixing the localhost code or something [23:54] haha... i know nothing; what i said never happened. [23:54] it's part of an ongoing support query, so you don't know the full story. [23:54] hylian: 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 message [23:54] *need [23:55] BlastRed: 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 differences [23:55] BlastRed: 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] ah. [23:56] daftykins: ok so i did chroot it, do i reboot now? [23:56] One computer is compaq and one is DELL, wil that have any problem. Jordan_U ? [23:56] hylian: no; because nothing has been done. if you "ls" do you see bin, dev, etc? [23:56] daftykins: except, it did say it didn't know the host of xubuntu when running grub-install. [23:56] i just took off the top off the bottom of my lother laptop... which one is the hard drive xD [23:57] Oh i see it... [23:57] its called a disk drie? [23:57] I 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] BlastRed: 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] daftykins: 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] hylian: i said not to run that part. [23:58] BlastRed: please look into the make and models manual to find a howto for replacing a hdd. [23:58] daftykins: oops, ok, well then i am chrooted, i believe. [23:58] hylian: you were supposed to mount your / partition to /mnt or similar. [23:58] Jordan_U: Both machienes are windows 7, they mostly have the same drivers. theres little to no difference [23:58] hylian: no, not if this partition is your /home [23:58] machines* [23:58] Theyre both toshiba hard/disk drives [23:58] daftykins: yep, everything you asked for mounted to /dev. cool trick [23:59] BlastRed: That doesn't answer either of my questions unfortunately. [23:59] BlastRed: 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] Alrighty [23:59] daftykins: ok, so now that I have a cd looking icon that says dev, now what do i do?
