[00:00] <ki7mt> If I want to freeze X, Y, or X, and not change it, for whatever reason, that's a risk for sure, but it functions as intended, all bit, know the risks when using it.
[00:00] <daftykins> ki7mt: look i don't know what you're after, you gave bad advice... with no warning... we shot it down, job done
[00:00] <truexfan81> for doing a release upgrade does it matter if all updates for the current version are installed or not?
[00:00] <k1l_> ki7mt: most people dont know the risk. and you seem not to know about the risks, too.
[00:01] <k1l_> truexfan81: should not matter
[00:02] <ki7mt> k1l_, That's a pretty bold statement, but I'll let this go, it's pointless.
[00:02] <daftykins> we're all going to make mistakes *shrug*
[00:02] <Bashing-om> truexfan81: Most assuredly . Insure that the present system is fully updated proir to the release upgrade .
[00:03] <truexfan81> Bashing-om: ok, i've got it doing apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade
[00:04] <Bashing-om> truexfan81: Yeah .. good deal . aslo revert a proprietary graphics (if any) driver to open source .
[00:05] <truexfan81> Bashing-om: brand new install in a vm, so no prop drivers to deal with :D
[00:05] <daftykins> if it's a VM, why upgrade at all? why not just grab the latest media?
[00:05] <truexfan81> experiment
[00:06] <k1l_> ki7mt: just look at ubuntu.com/usn how much issues there are which get fixed with udpates. i bet you will not fix something like CVE-2015-2925 on your own. so dont advise others to do so is fine.
[00:06] <GhostPhreak> Anyone know how to make the top bar look bigger on a computer with a 3k resolution? It's very small and hard to see.
[00:06] <truexfan81> daftykins: i want to see if i personally can go from the lts to 15.10 without breaking it, if i succeed i'll upgrade my netbook
[00:06] <thetrav> I can put arbitrary vars after a host in the inventory file and it will be available in facts right?
[00:07] <Guest50567> wow
[00:07] <daftykins> truexfan81: that totally goes against how it's meant to be done but ok :)
[00:08] <OerHeks> GhostPhreak, there is no systemsetting for that, not even in unity-tweak..
[00:09] <GhostPhreak> Oh
[00:09] <truexfan81> te73m
[00:09] <GhostPhreak> So, no way to make it larger?
[00:09] <truexfan81> fail
[00:09] <truexfan81> random vm password lol
[00:10] <truexfan81> no worries i use that for nothing else
[00:10] <ki7mt> k1l_, I look at that every day, I get them delivered to my inbox. Guess, what, every new package version has the same potential risks, the risk is there, always. If one doesn't know they are doing with kernel, odds are, they should being doing anything with it at all, that's just common sense.
[00:11] <k1l_> ki7mt: point is: this is a beginners channel.
[00:12] <ki7mt> fare enough, point taken
[00:12] <OerHeks> GhostPhreak, i am wrong, you can, by adjusting the size/scale > 1) Go into the system settings (unity-control-center.) 2) Go to Displays 3) Mess around with scale.
[00:15] <Bashing-om> I am shocked " < OerHeks> GhostPhreak, i am wrong, ";  Mentor defaltion, owww the hurt .
[00:16] <truexfan81> daftykins: how is it meant to be done? just from one lts to the next?
[00:16] <daftykins> truexfan81: yeah, or... you have to go via all intermediary releases after selecting that you don't want to remain on LTS
[00:16] <OerHeks> Bashing-om, it is an hidden option, not logical at all to do so ( got there via a mint forum, ugh)
[00:16] <Guest27869> Official Ubuntu Support Channel | IRC Guidelines: http://ubottu.com/y/gl | IRC info: http://ubottu.com/y/irc | Pastes to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | Download: http://ubottu.com/y/dl | Currently supported: 12.04 LTS, 14.04 LTS, 15.04, 15.10
[00:16] <daftykins> truexfan81: if you're on 14.04 i'd not go to 15.10
[00:17] <daftykins> Guest27869: we all know the topic, you don't need to paste it :)
[00:17] <truexfan81> daftykins: well in the case of the vm that i created just for this test...i'm going to attempt it, the results of that will determine what i do with my netbook
[00:18] <OerHeks> anon_ a.k.a. Guest27869 really, did you read it?
[00:19] <waressearcher2> what range of port numbers ubuntu chooses for its outgoing connections ? is it 1024-65535 ?
[00:20] <daftykins> 1-1024 are standard IANA ports, all non-standard assignments must be outside that range
[00:20] <daftykins> that's true of all OSs with TCP/IP, nothing specific to Ubuntu.
[00:22] <n8s> is it safe to install KDE over ubuntu 15.10?
[00:22] <n8s> (and how should i do it)
[00:22] <daftykins> just get kubuntu instead
[00:22] <daftykins> save some time
[00:23] <Ben64> or can sudo apt-get install plasma-desktop
[00:23] <truexfan81> uhh not sure but i think it may be trying to go straight to 15.10 lol is the 15.10 name vivid?
[00:23] <Ben64> 15.10 = wily
[00:23] <daftykins> no 15.04 = vivid
[00:23] <n8s> i was wondering if KDE would be more adequate for me
[00:23] <Ben64> n8s: really comes down to preference
[00:23] <daftykins> n8s: so grab it, throw it on a flash drive and boot it for a test run.
[00:23] <truexfan81> ok so its going from 14.04 to 15.04 lol
[00:23] <daftykins> truexfan81: yeah i thought you were familiar with the process and was going to bypass that
[00:24] <truexfan81> daftykins: lol nope
[00:24] <n8s> daftykins, yeah, that sounds safer... i just thought that maybe it wasnt as dangerous as it sounds
[00:24] <Ben64> truexfan81: why upgrade from LTS?
[00:24] <truexfan81> daftykins: i aborted it
[00:25] <daftykins> n8s: you have to consider the unjust load on the package repos, essentially. why waste their time downloading all those packages when you can get it at source :) know that KDE is a pretty heavy DE though
[00:27] <truexfan81> daftykins: i guess thats something i'll have to learn...unless the channel bot has the info?
[00:28] <bprompt> n8s:    what do you mean by "adequate"?
[00:28] <daftykins> truexfan81: it wouldn't provide advice on how to bypass standard procedures, no :)
[00:28] <n8s> daftykins, considering i have a radeon, should i go with kubuntu 14.04 or 15.10?
[00:28] <daftykins> "here's how to hose your system"
[00:28] <daftykins> n8s: my last advice was to wait for 14.04.4 to drop
[00:28] <OerHeks> n8s, wait for the ati fix in 15.10 ..
[00:29] <n8s> daftykins, i know, i meant for testing purposes
[00:29] <daftykins> OerHeks: hmm there's a non-fglrx fix going in?
[00:30] <OerHeks> You can always test the opendriver
[00:30] <n8s> bprompt, not in a technical pov
[00:31] <OerHeks> daftykins, fix is ready, but not released https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1493888
[00:31] <n8s> OerHeks, oh, nice, that sounds promising
[00:31] <daftykins> ah that's fglrx though, proprietary not open
[00:32] <n8s> well, bed time for me guys
[00:32] <n8s> thanks for the help
[00:33] <truexfan81> daftykins: i think i'm going to have to terminate this experiment cause google is not being my friend today
[00:36] <truexfan81> only thing i can think of is to set it to use the 14.10 repos and use apt-get to do it
[00:37] <OerHeks> truexfan81, some time ago i gave you the hint to use old-versions trick, as described in !eolupgrade to bypass 14.10 which is EOL, = dead
[00:37] <daftykins> yeah the debian release change method, which is definitely the kind of thing we say won't work
[00:37] <OerHeks> !eolupgrade
[00:38] <truexfan81> OerHeks: i misunderstood sorry, i thought i was meant to use that after going to 14.10 lol
[00:39] <OerHeks> :-)
[00:40] <the_count> Hey, I need help enabling two finger right clich and scroll on my Sn=ynaptics touchpad, it was working when i first installed Ubuntu, but it stopped a couple months ago

[00:41] <the_count> OerHeks: Ubuntu 14.04.2or3 LTS
[00:42] <brum> Linux Mint
[00:42] <brum> 	Clement Lefebvre has announced the availability of a new beta release for the Linux Mint distribution. The new version, Linux Mint 17.3 Beta, is based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and contains mostly bug fixes and performance enhancements. The Driver Manager now reports installation errors and indicates whether available drivers are open source or not. The Update Manager attempts to locate fast mirrors to improve download times and multi-monitor
[00:42] <brum> support has been improved for the MATE desktop. It is also now possible to switch window managers on the fly from the MATE desktop. "In preparation for Linux Mint 17.3, a lot of work went into MATE 1.12. Most of the papercut issues identified in Linux Mint 17.2 were fixed and some of the new features implemented in Cinnamon were ported to MATE. The team focused on many little yet important issues which are key for a comfortable user exper
[00:42] <brum> ience. MATE is now using the same `presence' interface as GNOME and Cinnamon. This means it now supports a very wide range of applications." The release notes for the beta are available in two separate posts for the Cinnamon and MATE editions. Downloads (pkglist): linuxmint-17.3-cinnamon-64bit-beta.iso (1,508MB, torrent, release notes), linuxmint-17.3-mate-64bit-beta.iso (1,600MB, torrent, release notes).

[00:44] <OerHeks> brum, we don't need to know, mint is slow.

[00:50] <linuxmint> Ben64: what if I install Ubuntu? Think I could receive help to make the printer work?
[00:51] <truexfan81> OerHeks: yep my fault needed to be "utopic" instead of "Utopic"
[00:51] <OerHeks> truexfan81, good job to spot that, i didn't  ...
[00:51] <the_count> Bashing-om: Yeah, not really sure what the problem is... For some reason it thinks it isn't allowed to work. See, as I have a Lenovo yoga 2 Pro, I had to make some synaptics configurations, it seems like about a month and a half or two months after that, it died... I guess it could be the issue, but I have changed it back and forth serveral times, doesn't seem to do anyhting
[00:52] <truexfan81> upgrade proceeding
[00:52] <Ben64> linuxmint: maybe
[00:52] <linuxmint> Ben64: thanks, sound promising :)
[00:54] <Bashing-om> the_count: Yeah, I do recall we got it workiong, but as I have advised, I do not have the experience with a touchpad to assist in troubleshooting this issue .
[00:54] <truexfan81> OerHeks: now since i'm going to the eol one, i'm guessing i want to skip the "do-release-upgrade" step until after i reboot it
[00:55] <OerHeks> truexfan81, hmmm yes, you might get a new kernel what needs that.
[00:55] <the_count> Bashing-om: Yup... I'm not sure where to goo look elsewhere either
[00:56] <truexfan81> OerHeks: so just apt-get upgrade && dist-upgrade and then reboot and run do-release-upgrade? that simple?
[00:56] <daftykins> and then again :>
[00:57] <OerHeks> truexfan81, log time i did this myself, but yes, with a new kernel you would need to reboot before do-release-upgrade
[00:57] <truexfan81> OerHeks: kk ty

[01:09] <rightarmfast> hi how to make a newly created ext4 partition accessible, readable, writable by all users and all Linux distros that i install in future
[01:09] <Kadsh> Hi
[01:10] <daftykins> rightarmfast: edit /etc/fstab to auto mount it to somewhere sensible such as /media/mountpointname
[01:10] <daftykins> use a UUID, generated by "sudo blkid"
[01:11] <rightarmfast> as like media/username/uuid?
[01:11] <jophish> I just updated to 15.10 and when I use linux 4.2 I can't boot (unable to mount root fs)
[01:11] <rightarmfast> i have tried sudo chmod 777 cmmand
[01:11] <rightarmfast> doesnt seem to help
[01:12] <jophish> The previous kernel version works however 3.something
[01:12] <jophish> What's up?
[01:12] <daftykins> jophish: possibly ran out of space when it installed, if your /boot is on a separate partition?
[01:13] <daftykins> rightarmfast: no, and never do that - 777 is not safe
[01:13] <daftykins> rightarmfast: no you could just call it /media/myotherdisk ; but you use the UUID of that partition within /etc/fstab
[01:13] <the_count> daftykins: What is the chmod of preference, I have never been sure about that
[01:14] <rightarmfast> then what should i do daftykins. gnome disk utility makes drive accessible only to the currrent username
[01:14] <daftykins> the_count: it doesn't work that way, permissions are relevant to a given situation
[01:14] <the_count> daftykins: right, say, a general purpose webserver
[01:14] <daftykins> rightarmfast: like i said above, you need to use a text editor to edit /etc/fstab to setup the permanent auto at-boot mount of this new disk
[01:14] <Lewoco_> In 15.04, how do I permanently disable pulseaudio? Everytime I kill it it just restarts...
[01:14] <the_count> daftykins: Although even then
[01:14] <whoknows_> whats the best way to import a openvpn profile .ovpn i click import saved vpn configuration and it offers no option to save after entering username and password
[01:14] <daftykins> rightarmfast: so open a terminal, "sudo nano /etc/fstab"
[01:15] <jophish> daftykins: nope, /boot is on a partition with plenty of space
[01:15] <whoknows_> whats the best way to import a openvpn profile .ovpn i click import saved vpn configuration and it offers no option to save after entering username and password ubuntu 14.04
[01:16] <daftykins> jophish: ok, can you show a "dpkg -l | grep linux- | nc termbin.com 9999"

[01:18] <jophish> ah, there is a small partition (100MB) with the boot,diag flags set
[01:18] <daftykins> jophish: i can only suggest a purge reinstall, do you have a RAID setup at all?
[01:19] <jophish> daftykins: no raid
[01:19] <jophish> daftykins: reinstall which package?
[01:19] <Bashing-om> the_count: Not off the top of my head. lemme see what I can come up with .
[01:19] <the_count> Bashing-om: Ok

[01:21] <truexfan81> what is brltty and do i need it? its breaking my upgrade process
[01:21] <daftykins> django_: no wonder you went quiet
[01:21] <django_> but i just logged out and 1) it takes a while like usual 2) i didnt see the interface to switch
[01:21] <django_> yes im sorry :(

[01:22] <the_count> Bashing-om: Yes
[01:22] <daftykins> rightarmfast: did you create an entry within that file to mount your new partition?

[01:28] <daftykins> truexfan81: just "sudo dpkg -r brltty && sudo apt-get -f install" to move on
[01:28] <truexfan81> i was about to say that lol

[01:30] <truexfan81> daftykins: funny enough i don't see a kernel upgrade in the dist-upgrade
[01:30] <truexfan81> so i guess 14.04 and 14.10 used the same kernel?
[01:31] <daftykins> truexfan81: what are you meaning by dist-upgrade? dist-upgrade doesn't mean 14.04 -> 14.10
[01:31] <waressearcher2> why is there entire separate distributive Kubuntu ? can they come up with some script that just replaces GNOME with Kubuntu ? or installs Kubuntu in addition to GNOME ?
[01:31] <daftykins> !distupgrade
[01:31] <daftykins> waressearcher2: because installing one thing when you wanted the other in the first place is a waste of time, bandwidth and repository load.
[01:31] <truexfan81> daftykins: i changed all the repos to the 14.10 am doing apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade
[01:32] <daftykins> yeah ok, but note i didn't say to run that
[01:32] <truexfan81> daftykins: i know
[01:32] <waressearcher2> daftykins: but its like reinstalling entire distribution if you just all of a sudden want to use KDE for a bit
[01:33] <truexfan81> daftykins: hopefully it will boot up in 14.10 after and then i can "do-release-upgrade" it to 15.04
[01:33] <daftykins> waressearcher2: no... you just install 'kubuntu-desktop' or the KDE packages, if you look it up.
[01:33] <the_count> Bashing-om: From what I am reading, synclient should be working, not sure of its roots
[01:33] <daftykins> i think someone said plasma-desktop
[01:33] <Ant-Racism> Hello!
[01:33] <daftykins> truexfan81: well yeah - and it should move to a 3.16 kernel, but then it doesn't even matter since you're not stopping :)
[01:34] <truexfan81> daftykins: maybe thats why lol i think 10.14.3 got a 3.19 kernel
[01:34] <truexfan81> err oops
[01:34] <UbuN2> hello guys is there a channel for ubuntu mobile phones ?
[01:34] <truexfan81> 14.04.3
[01:35] <daftykins> truexfan81: yeah, because it contains the vivid HWE stack already
[01:35] <truexfan81> kk
[01:35] <daftykins> UbuN2: #ubuntu-touch
[01:35] <UbuN2> thank you sir .
[01:35] <truexfan81> daftykins: that would explain why no kernel upgrade appears then
[01:35] <daftykins> truexfan81: er what? it still gets updates
[01:36] <Bashing-om> the_count: Not a proponent of either of the options given in the link . If you enable debugging in the xorg file . do you get any hints ?
[01:36] <the_count> Bashing-om: Let me try
[01:36] <truexfan81> daftykins: everything except the kernel
[01:37] <daftykins> truexfan81: oh well.
[01:37] <daftykins> truexfan81: if it were up to me i'd have taken that netbook and disposed of it :)
[01:38] <truexfan81> daftykins: and why do i need libqt5 stuff when my only installed DE is unity?
[01:38] <daftykins> truexfan81: i'm sorry, too many questions.
[01:38]  * daftykins goes on a break
[01:38] <truexfan81> lol
[01:38] <_Akuma> Hello Guys.
[01:38] <daftykins> just get the upgrades done if you insist on your current experiment ;)
[01:38]  * truexfan81 waits 45minutes for it to download all the qt5 stuff
[01:39] <daftykins> i'll say it one more time so it's definitely clear - you should leave the thing on LTS.
[01:40] <_Akuma> I From Brazil. I Came to know new about the Islamic Estate
[01:40] <Acerio> Hey guys.
[01:41] <daftykins> _Akuma: then you got lost, ubuntu support only here. go elsewhere please.
[01:42] <laughingtiger> _Akuma: join ##politics
[01:42] <_Akuma> Thanks.
[01:43] <laughingtiger> no problem
[01:50] <the_count> Bashing-om: Logging out to see what happens
[01:56] <the_count> BAshing-om: Restarted
[01:59] <Bashing-om> the_count: ' synclient -m 100 ' ?
[02:00] <the_count> Bashing-om: It doesn't recognize the command
[02:00] <the_count> BAshing-om: It says invalid option
[02:00] <alt_> Рш
[02:00] <alt_> hi
[02:00] <alt_> anyone here&
[02:01] <alt_> ?
[02:01] <daftykins> yes ask a question and stop pressing enter please, you're spamming us.
[02:02] <Bashing-om> the_count: Does the file /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled exist ?
[02:02] <the_count> Bashing-om: no, it does now
[02:02] <the_count> Bashing-om: no, it does not**
[02:04] <Bashing-om> the_count: Worth considering " gconftool-2 --set --type boolean /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled true " . Maybe see if the file gets generated ??
[02:04] <the_count> Bashing-om: Still no
[02:05] <the_count> BAshing-om: The command does not disable the touchpad either
[02:06] <Bashing-om> the_count: Yuk, Like I say, I do not know ... but we can poke at it .. any return ' sudo trackpad show ' ?
[02:07] <the_count> Bashing-om: **poke a stick at it, "command trackpad not found."
[02:13] <Bashing-om> the_count: ' xinput list ' does it come back with " ADB mouse", then your touchpad is old.
[02:15] <the_count> Bashing-om: My laptop was manufactured in 2014ish, the touchpad is not old, returns the standard PS/2 Synaptics Touchpad
[02:16] <Bashing-om> the_count: Back to the drawing board .. stand by . Lemme see what else I can come up with .. not making a lot of sense right now, huh ?
[02:17] <the_count> Bashing-om: Right, I feel the same. It seems like others do not have this problem like I do looking at forums/etc... Or, if they do, it is because they have a different brand of touchpad
[02:20] <Guest18988> e ai blz cara
[02:20] <Bashing-om> the_count: Do you have the correct driver installed ' uname -r ' .. looks like it do matter what kernel is installed .
[02:20] <the_count> Bashing-om: That is an interesting point to make, i could try booting into an older kernel and see what happens... 3.19.0-33-generic is current
[02:21] <VictoriaXOXO> Q: Choosing the "recommended" driver from the driver list, enabling "triplebuffer" in xorg.conf, and rebooting REFUSES to fix my tearing issues. What can I do?
[02:21] <Bashing-om> the_count: Uh Huh ! see: ' apt-cache search synclient ' .
[02:22] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: Hi. Are you still here?
[02:23] <the_count> Bashing-om: Tell me where you are reading from at some point here so I can see what is going on, because this is interesting, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13339130/
[02:23] <daftykins> VictoriaXOXO: i saw some of this earlier, what's your setup? "lspci | nc termbin.com 9999" would be handy
[02:23] <daftykins> note that's an example of sharing something that isn't private ;)
[02:24] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: http://fpaste.org/292144/14478998/
[02:24] <VictoriaXOXO> :)
[02:24] <daftykins> that's not running what i mentioned :P
[02:24] <daftykins> why are you using a fedora paste site...
[02:24] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: But isn't termbin just another paste option?
[02:25] <the_count> daftykins: lol
[02:25] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Because I always choose to delete the text after 30 minutes.
[02:25] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Can termbin do the same thing?
[02:25]  * daftykins wonders if this is a case where someone uses another distro and lies to us
[02:25] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: No! I can screenshot my bookmarks folder of paste sites. :D
[02:26] <daftykins> i think you've been in with other nicks
[02:26] <VictoriaXOXO> Trust me. Just a personal preference.
[02:26] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Dude. You don't HAVE to help me, but I would really like if you did.
[02:26] <daftykins> so where and how does this tearing exhibit itself?
[02:26] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Scrolling up and down in Firefox and while watching videos/movies in VLC.
[02:26] <daftykins> VictoriaXOXO: i have no idea why you just said that, it's a volunteer run channel - i know what i do and don't have to do
[02:27] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Like a horizontal distorted line you know?
[02:27] <daftykins> yes i know what tearing is
[02:27] <the_count> daftykins: this keeps getting better and better, another screenshot
[02:27] <daftykins> the_count: what?
[02:28] <Bashing-om> the_count: Well, the "search' shows we want to match the driver version to the kernel, and the 3.19 series kernels is vivid. IF this were me I would purge the present touchpad driver and install " xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-lts-vivid " . What ya think ?
[02:28] <the_count> daftykins, you're comedy
[02:28] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Any idea of what the next logical step would be?
[02:28] <daftykins> VictoriaXOXO: which driver is installed and which DE?
[02:28] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Let me check the driver.
[02:28] <the_count> Bashing-om: Doesn't hurt me... I'm fully backed up
[02:28] <daftykins> you don't need to tell me that part, just the answer
[02:29] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Well, most people are really inpatient. :P "nividia-352 (recommended)" and MATE.
[02:29] <the_count> Abshing-om: I think
[02:29] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: And the longer name is "352.63-0ubuntu0.14.04.1"
[02:30] <the_count> Bashing-om: So, how do we tell the present driver?
[02:30] <daftykins> likely MATE is the issue there; i have no advice for you but to try an older driver
[02:30] <daftykins> and also make sure you have no xorg.conf at all
[02:30] <anheru> u wot mate
[02:30] <daftykins> anheru: no thanks
[02:31] <Bashing-om> the_count: Pay attention .. We already know " xserver-xorg-input-synaptics " / So how about ' sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-input-synaptics ; sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-lts-vivid ' . Reboot and let's see what works .
[02:32] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Wait. Why no xorg.conf?
[02:32] <the_count> Bashing-om: Sounds good to me
[02:32] <LUKKA> HELP ME PLEASE
[02:32] <daftykins> VictoriaXOXO: because it's been auto detect for years; no need to have one.
[02:33] <Bashing-om> the_count: Hey, sounds reasonable to me .. but I was wrong once before .
[02:33] <daftykins> LUKKA: no caps - and ask the question with detail on one line
[02:33] <the_count> Bashing-om: Lucky for you I'm not holding grudges... lol
[02:33] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: But... like 3 people earlier told me to put this line in xorg.conf earlier. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/13339359/
[02:34] <Bashing-om> the_count: Careful now .. I am a Arkansas Ridge Runner, my kin folk might take exception .
[02:34] <daftykins> VictoriaXOXO: i know what you were told. now... here in the present, you can try an older driver
[02:34] <the_count> Bashing-om: I think we're getting somewhere based on past experiences, E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[02:34] <the_count> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13339375/
[02:35] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Okay. Just tell me this. Should I delete ALL these files? "xorg.conf" "xorg.conf.backup" "xorg.conf.nvidia-xconfig-original"
[02:35] <daftykins> no
[02:35] <the_count> Bashing-om: I got to go eat supper, be back in about 10 to 15 to 20 minutes
[02:36] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: One of them? Two of them? Any of them?
[02:36] <Bashing-om> the_count: Now was that not the problem we solved last time ?
[02:36] <daftykins> VictoriaXOXO: what did i say to begin with? you have a habit of making volunteers go around in circles after the information has already been shared
[02:37] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Can you please just tell me again?
[02:37] <daftykins> read up.
 So... any progress with the tearing?
[02:37] <the_count> Bashing-om: I think not, but maybe... Anyways, i have to be going, talk to you in a bit
[02:37] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Okay. You don't want to help. Thanks anyway. :/
[02:37] <VictoriaXOXO> harduim: No. Still tearing after all I've tried. :(
[02:38] <daftykins> gave you the answer, you're refusing to find it - your problem i'm afraid
[02:38] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Okay. Thanks.
[02:38] <the_count> Bashing-om: One more thing before I go, I have copied out chats from before, so I will see if it is the same
[02:39] <mint_> can someone help me with partitoining?
[02:41] <Bashing-om> the_count: :) Way to go ... keeping notes is a good thing .
[02:41] <daftykins> mint_: not if you're running Mint
[02:41] <anheru> :D
[02:41] <iBurley> Hey guys. Anybody know if you can install proprietary AMD drivers through the GUI tool in 15.10 yet without it breaking?
 =/ Thx for the feedback. I'm also interested  in that
[02:42] <Acerio> Ubuntu 14.10 cannot find the package packaging-dev, though the MOTU wiki for contributing says to install it. The package cannot be found. What do I do?
[02:43] <L0> iBurley: you can list down available drivers with 'ubuntu-drivers list' or if you're feeling luck, do 'ubuntu-drivers autoinstall'
[02:43] <mint_> can someone help me with partitoining?
[02:43] <VictoriaXOXO> harduim: Any idea where I would put "Option  "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceFullCompositionPipeline = On }""?
[02:44] <L0> mint_: what are you using to partition? gparted? fdisk?
[02:44] <iBurley> L0, well it installs through the GUI, and the install goes fine, but on reboot it won't boot. It was in the 15.10 release notes, AMD just didn't include support for kernel 4.2 before the release.
[02:45] <iBurley> L0, but the fix was in staging or proposed or something, just not sure if anybody knows if it's in the official repos yet.
[02:45] <VictoriaXOXO> Q: How do I know which "xorg.conf" file my NVIDIA card/settings is currently using?
[02:45] <L0> iBurley: my experiences with nVidia drivers told me that i shouldn't install driver from the nvidia website.
[02:45] <daftykins> 1) nvidia driver versions, try them 2) disable the Xorg backing store - http://askubuntu.com/questions/450593/how-do-i-eliminate-screen-tearing-on-14-04-and-xbmc-with-nvidia-331 3) http://www.howtoeverything.net/linux/issues/finally-no-more-tearing-anywhere-mate-desktop-and-compiz has some suggestions;
[02:45] <daftykins> for tearing ^
[02:45] <L0> iBurley: I use those things in Ubuntu repository instead of installing official stuff
[02:46] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Okay. Time to read.
[02:46] <daftykins> VictoriaXOXO: the idea you just posted, don't do it - it won't help. only /etc/X11/xorg.conf is read - but you don't need one like i already said, so delete it, like i already said. this time don't make me repeat myself :)
[02:47] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: It's from here if you want to read it -- https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA#Avoid_tearing_with_GeForce_500.2F600.2F700.2F900_series_cards
[02:47] <mint_> can someone help me with partitoining?
[02:48] <daftykins> VictoriaXOXO: no i don't
[02:48] <anheru> should i upgrade ubuntu to newest version? is it much more unstable than 14.04 lts?
[02:48] <daftykins> mint_: you have been replied to, so answer their questions
I dont, but this guy seams to http://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/5/618456760271192326/?l=portuguese
[02:48] <daftykins> !mint | mint_
[02:48] <mint_> daftykins: would you be willing to help me with using gparted to partoin so i can install a second linux os alongside my first one?
[02:49] <daftykins> mint_: resize your install to make some space --> install
 Before trying anything "cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bkp" ;D
[02:49] <nhyk> just a quick question: I installed Ubuntu with the default settings+Encryption like 10 days ago and my /boot is already 50% full. Do i run into trouble into the future after upgrading etc?
[02:50] <VictoriaXOXO> harduim: Dude. I don't get a notification when you type my name like that.
[02:50] <Ben64> nhyk: yes you can. I'd suggest running "sudo apt-get autoremove" after each update
[02:50] <Nautilus_> looking at my old sudoers file where I added a couple users, the users start with a '-' like '-myname ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL'  ... what does the '-' signify?
[02:50] <harduim> VictoriaXOXO Sorry I'm new here
[02:50] <daftykins> most IRC clients support tab completion of nicknames
[02:51] <anheru> should i upgrade ubuntu to newest version? is it much more unstable than 14.04 lts?
[02:51] <harduim> daftykins, nice
[02:51] <mint_> daftykins: i have tried to use gparted to partitoin my ubuntu sectoin so that i can install another with it because in the install it has no optoin to install alongside and my problem is that when i try to resize the drive for ubuntu it wont let me click the resize button after changing the size in mb's
[02:51] <harduim> daftykins, Thx!
[02:51] <daftykins> anheru: stay on LTS.
[02:52] <daftykins> mint_: you need to do that from a live session ideally, don't resize from in the booted install
[02:52] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Okay, so I found where you told me to delete the xorg.conf file. But please tell me if those other two files are even needed? If they don't do anything, I'd like to clean up by deleting them.
[02:52] <anheru> daftykins: ok, thx
[02:52] <mint_> thats what i am on is a live sessoin
[02:52] <daftykins> VictoriaXOXO: they're kilobytes in size, total waste of time.
[02:52] <daftykins> mint_: of Mint? :P
[02:52] <mint_> daftykins: thats what i am on is a live sessoin
[02:53] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Grrrrrrr.
[02:53] <L0> mint_: check free space and primary parition count. It couldn't be more than 4
[02:53] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Still reading those two links.
[02:53] <Bashing-om> Acerio: 14.10 os EOL and the repository no longer exist as you knew it .
[02:54] <mint_> daftykins: yes of mint i am trying to install mint along side ubuntu but it wont let me click the button to aplly the changes i want even though the partitoin is not mounted
[02:54] <Acerio> Bashing-om: I figured. Upgrading to 15.04 now.
[02:55] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: "There are a couple of things not everybody notices, but once you've seen it, it just keeps annoying you." Some people don't notice tearing?! WHAT?! XD
[02:55] <daftykins> mint_: upload a screenshot of what you're doing, to imgur.com
[02:57] <Bashing-om> nhyk: No troule, so long as you keep a close eye on /boot . ' sudo apt-get autoremove' to remove old kernels .
[02:58] <cknox> is there a reason that /etc/resolv.conf points to 127.0.1.1 on desktop, but points to what DHCP told it to point to on server?
[02:58] <daftykins> cknox: dnsmasq and resolvconf since 12.04, yep
[02:58] <mint_> L0: i only have ubuntu installed at the moment and it looks like this... http://imgur.com/N2G4ONK
[02:58] <Bashing-om> Acerio: :) .
[02:59] <daftykins> mint_: oh dear encryption present, i would not attempt to resize that personally - very dangerous
[02:59] <mint_> daftykins:    http://imgur.com/N2G4ONK
[02:59] <daftykins> mint_: backup and start again
[02:59] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Is there a terminal command to list the version of MATE I'm using, including what file manager, window manager, and so on?
[02:59] <cknox> daftykins: so how do I make ubuntu use my dns like my router tells it to?
[02:59] <daftykins> cknox: it already will be, check network manager since this is desktop ubuntu
[02:59] <mint_> ok so i cant have an encrypted drive?
[03:00] <daftykins> mint_: i just wouldn't attempt modifying it from its' present state.
[03:00] <daftykins> mint_: by the way, Mint is a mistake
[03:00] <mint_> ok so if i want two os's installed i have to start allover again?
[03:00] <inteus> mint_: use at your own risk: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ResizeEncryptedPartitions
[03:00] <mint_> why is mint so bad?
[03:01] <VictoriaXOXO> mint_: You are asking in the Ubuntu channel. XD
[03:01] <VictoriaXOXO> It's like asking Russia about USA or Syria about Israel.
[03:05] <mint_> oh ok but im not asking about mint just about the use of gparted which is a program for most linux os's not an os itself
[03:05] <cknox> daftykins: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxv2soZoY3viYnhsYjhRTmdHdWM/view?usp=sharing
[03:07] <daftykins> cknox: can you use imgur if you're sharing an image please?
[03:07] <VictoriaXOXO> cknox: What piece of software is doing that checkered censorship?
[03:07] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Is there a terminal command to list the version of MATE I'm using, including what file manager, window manager, and so on?
[03:07] <cknox> I've also installed xfce instead of whatever the default is, how would I look in network manager on here?
[03:08] <GngrDr34dm4n> hello
[03:08] <GngrDr34dm4n> anyone up, i seem to have disabled every website installing peerblock
[03:08] <cknox> VictoriaXOXO: that's just me cutting the pieces out with gimp
[03:08] <VictoriaXOXO> cknox: Oh, nice.
[03:08] <GngrDr34dm4n> ive disabled every list stoped it , started it , rebooted, removed, reinstalled
[03:08] <daftykins> cknox: ah xfce, you could probably have done with sharing that tidbit
[03:08] <GngrDr34dm4n> firefox and chrome wont load squataroo
[03:08] <daftykins> cknox: ultimately what are you trying to achieve here? if this host works online, it obviously has functional DNS
[03:09] <cknox> http://imgur.com/mEMoM5r
[03:09] <GngrDr34dm4n> irc and a few things work but cant search online for help
[03:10] <cknox> daftykins: basically owncloud.mydomain.com is used for my owncloud server. However when I'm on my network the IP address is internal, and when I'm not the Ip should resolve to the external IP
[03:10] <Inumedia> Is this the right channel for asking for help? Or is there a specific support channel?
[03:10] <the_count> Bashing-om: I really can't stay tonight, we can finish resolving this tomorrow
[03:10] <the_count> Bashing-om: Thank you for your time tonight
[03:10] <inteus> Inumedia: yes, this is the Ubuntu support channel
[03:10] <Inumedia> Awesome.
[03:10] <daftykins> cknox: laptop?
[03:11] <Inumedia> I need to install a package that only has releases for a version of Ubuntu back (15.04), is there a way to force apt to think it's on that version or an alternative way to install it and its dependencies?
[03:11] <Inumedia> Er, specifically I'm trying to get cufflinks working on 15.10.
[03:12] <cknox> daftykins: yeah laptop
[03:12] <Inumedia> Or if someone could assist in getting libboost 1.55 installed, that would fix the issue too.
[03:12] <daftykins> cknox: and your router doesn't let you use it via your external IP when home, huh?
[03:13] <cknox> daftykins: that's correct. So I had to build a DNS server for home
[03:14] <daftykins> lol
[03:14] <cknox> although to be honest my laptop doesn't really leave the house much, but my phone does
[03:15] <daftykins> cknox: or you could've just entered the line into /etc/hosts when you're home to point the domain to the internal IP - or resolved NAT reflection on your router
[03:15] <Inumedia> cknox: Try adding multiple A names to point to both your WAN IP and the IP hosting your services?
[03:15] <Inumedia> Er, LAN IP hosting your services.
[03:15] <cknox> Inumedia: you mean on the external DNS server?
[03:15] <Inumedia> Yup
[03:15] <daftykins> Inumedia: so it'd have a one in two+ chance of working on every query? not very good
[03:16] <cknox> I don't think they'll let me since it's a dynamic dns record
[03:16] <Inumedia> It'd be a bit of a stretch, but it's a round-robbin approach.
[03:16] <daftykins> yeah that doesn't sound like the answer
[03:16] <Inumedia> daftykins: I believe it'll try both and the first to respond gets the connection
[03:16] <daftykins> i don't think DNS resolution works that way
[03:16] <Inumedia> Not sure, but it's worth  try imo.
[03:16] <Inumedia> er, worth a try
[03:17] <daftykins> cknox: there's always ##networking - i know your original query was reconfiguring your host DNS, which can be done, but i think this task can be tackled a lot better
[03:18] <cknox> I thought this channel because this is the same setup we use at work with Windows clients and there's no issues
[03:18] <cknox> I can easily enough work around the issue by manually editing resolve.conf, but that doesn't survive a reboot
[03:19] <daftykins> that statement doesn't track for me - but yeah, NAT reflection is the issue here, setting up an entire DNS server internally to combat this would not be my approach
[03:19] <daftykins> you can just purge resolvconf then hardcode it.
[03:19] <daftykins> purge, reboot, edit, reboot - ensure it's still there
[03:20] <Ben64> or could put in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head
[03:20] <daftykins> that'd probably be the better idea :D
[03:26] <Geo> I'm writing a deployment script, and I need to add a command to the sudoers file via the script. How can I do this non-interactively? Is there a file somwhere I can echo to?
[03:28] <OerHeks> Geo, add a command or add a user with priveledge?
[03:28]  * OerHeks is carefull with those funny hacks
[03:28] <daftykins> "echo blah | sudo tee /path/to/sudoers_file" ?
[03:29] <Inumedia> How do I make apt-get think it's on a different version of Ubuntu? I need to forcibly install a package from 15.04 and I'm on 15.10.
[03:30] <daftykins> Inumedia: i think you should just find a proper version in a PPA / compile from source
[03:30] <Geo> OerHeks: add a command
[03:30] <Inumedia> I've banged my head against the wall trying to compile from source, and I haven't found a PPA containing cufflinks or libboost 1.55 for 15.10.
[03:31] <OerHeks> Geo, add a command to sudoers, explain?
[03:31] <Ben64> Inumedia: yeah looks like you'd have to compile it and any dependencies
[03:31] <daftykins> Inumedia: maybe ask for help with the compile then
[03:32] <truexfan81> lol i hate that situation
[03:32] <Inumedia> Then I'll take another whack at compiling libboost from source and then come back.
[03:32] <truexfan81> when you have to compile the deps, often you find that the deps have deps that also have to be compiled
[03:32] <OerHeks> take a look @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers
[03:32] <Ben64> Inumedia: alternatively, you could install 14.04
[03:33] <Inumedia> Ben64: I've considered just installing a different version of Ubuntu, but I'm hesitant as I'd also have to hack that in since I don't have physical access to the server atm.
[03:33] <lucas__> anybody here know how to reseat a modem on dell latitude d830  im getting a flashing CAPS/Scroll lock post code error and ive traced it back to that but not 100%sure how to fix this
[03:34] <Inumedia> lucas__: Reseat? Reseating is just generally unplugging and plugging it back in?
[03:34] <truexfan81> Inumedia: yeah best bet is to just keep compiling until you get it and its entire chain of deps installed and working
[03:35] <truexfan81> Inumedia: or just wait until you have physical access to the machine
[03:35] <daftykins> lucas__: ##hardware please, although you may use ubuntu that's not an OS query :)
[03:35] <Inumedia> truexfan81: Well, I forced the cufflinks install to pretend it worked with 15.10 and got the deb installed, but I'm missing the libboost dependencies.
[03:35] <Inumedia> I had it working a few weeks ago, but I removed it and can't remember how I did it :p
[03:35] <daftykins> *facepalm*
[03:36] <truexfan81> Inumedia: i suggest compile libboost and its deps then problem will be solved
[03:36] <Inumedia> Had to remove it, had to apt-get something and this was before I changed the deb to pretend it was 15.10 :D
[03:36] <Inumedia> truexfan81: Building now. :)
[03:37] <Inumedia> s/Building/Compiling/
[03:37] <truexfan81> oh you have a deb package for it? i wouldn't do that unless you can make deb packages of the deps like libboost
[03:37] <lucas__> Inumedia: so just pop this bad boy open and basically "unplug/plug in/ the wireless modem
[03:37] <Inumedia> I have a deb package for cufflinks, the source of this problem.
[03:38] <truexfan81> can you not compile cufflinks and make install it?
[03:38] <qianian> oh yay! I wasn't sure this client would work.
[03:38] <Inumedia> That requires me to first get libboost to compile and install properly, which is where the headache has been for the past few days :)
[03:38] <qianian> how's everyone?
[03:39] <asdopas> How do I find out what host my localhost is listening to?
[03:39] <truexfan81> Inumedia: well i wish you luck, i have to go to bed now, downside of living with others, i have to go to bed when they do
[03:39] <Inumedia> truexfan81: Haha, thanks, here's hoping this compile works.
[03:40] <truexfan81> Inumedia: just follow the dep chain
[03:40] <truexfan81> Inumedia: the configure script for libboost should tell you what all it needs
[03:40] <Inumedia> Yeah
[03:41] <Inumedia> They use some weird bootstrap and custom compile script instead of `./configure && make` like I'm used to.
[03:41] <Inumedia> But it seems to be satisfied with the installed pieces
[03:41] <asdopas> Do I use netstat?
[03:41] <Inumedia> asdopas: I don't understand the original question.
[03:42] <asdopas> On every machine there is a port on which localhost listens. Like 9090 or 22. How do I find mine?
[03:43] <asdopas> Did that make sense Inumedia?
[03:43] <daftykins> asdopas: you're not making any sense, but you're probably asking for the output of "netstat -tuln"
[03:43] <daftykins> that'll show what services are running and listening on given ports.
[03:43] <asdopas> Well then, what's the "proper" way of saying it? I'm not very tech literate.
[03:43] <Ghost_r00t> could anyone tell me what kernel version does xubuntu 14.04.2 and 14.04.3 use?
[03:44] <daftykins> asdopas: to be honest i don't know what you're after for sure, too vague
[03:44] <Ghost_r00t> how could I afind that out short of downloading it?
[03:44] <daftykins> Ghost_r00t: .2 media typically comes with the utopic HWE thus 3.16, .3 with the vivid HWE thus 3.19
[03:45] <OerHeks> xubuntu 14.04.2 is eol, so no need for that kernel
[03:45] <OerHeks> Ghost_r00t, why do you need that?
[03:45] <asdopas> localhost:631 is my cupswrapper driver homepage. localhost:53 gives me an UNSAFE_PORT error. When I try localhost with other numbers like 8080, I get a CONNECTION_REFUSED error. Networking is confusing.
[03:46] <daftykins> asdopas: not really, you can't just pick ports at random - you need to have something RUNNING there first :)
[03:46] <asdopas> Is that how it works?
[03:46] <asdopas> I didn't know.
[03:46] <daftykins> yes, services bind to ports
[03:46] <asdopas> I still want to investigate the UNSAFE_PORT error.
[03:47] <daftykins> you just don't use a browser to visit 53.
[03:47] <daftykins> but sure, look it up - it's all learning
[03:47] <OerHeks> asdopas, that port is in use, so it is unsafe to use it
[03:48] <Inumedia> asdopas: Per the unsafe port question, it sounds like you're using Chrome? http://superuser.com/questions/188058/which-ports-are-considered-unsafe-on-chrome
[03:48] <LUKKA> can anyone help me find where is the noobguide?
[03:49] <Nautilus_> I'm thinking I have an error in my notes, or is this correct?:   "127.0.1.1 email@example.com myhostname"  ...  notice that ends with 1.1
[03:49] <daftykins> !manual | LUKKA
[03:49] <Ghost_r00t> OerHeks: the nouveau of reecent kernels past an certain kernel branch are faulty
[03:49] <Inumedia> Nautilus_: 127.0.1.1 is basically the same as 127.0.0.1
[03:50] <Nautilus_> oh really?
[03:50]  * Nautilus_ should have mentioned he's editing the hosts file
[03:51] <docmur> If I ssh to one headless host with x11forwarding (-X), and from that server, ssh to another, how can I launch a X11 app?  Do I need X11 on the middle server?
[03:52] <asdopas> While I'm here, I'll ask another question about localhosts. I developed an application on a website, whose callback URL is 127.0.0.1:65010. This application is linked to a Python script with the same callback URL. However, when I try to authorize the script with my user account, I get a 500 internal server error. What gives?
[03:52] <daftykins> docmur: might be able to SSH tunnel with one instance, then SSH -X straight to the target host with a second - doubt that's the ideal method but it might work :)
[03:53] <Inumedia> asdopas: 500 internal server error is when the server experiences an error processing the request
[03:53] <daftykins> asdopas: i think you belong in ##networking more
[03:53] <daftykins> these are all very basic and not ubuntu specific.
[03:54] <asdopas> Sorry.
[03:56] <Inumedia> Hm. I haven't been in this channel for years, is it always this busy this late at night?
[03:56] <daftykins> it's worldwide, this web
[03:57] <Inumedia> Yeah, that's true. :P
[03:58] <LUKKA> okay
[03:58] <LUKKA> thanks
[04:00] <waressearcher2> if host susceptible to blind icmp-reset attack, why do they call it vulnerability ? and why should it be patched ? I mean its a noraml behaviour to response to this kind of ICMP packets
[04:04] <OerHeks> waressearcher2, what are you talking about, this old bug? http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2004-0790
[04:04] <OerHeks> get real, it is not normal behaviour.
[04:05] <waressearcher2> why are they considered vulnerability ?
[04:05] <intuxicated> Hi , I have LG 25UM65-P Ultra-Wide IPS Monitor, this monitor maximum resolution is 1080 × 2560 but i can only use 1920 x 1080 . its because of my VGA driver ? what can i do to have this resolution?
[04:07] <OerHeks> intuxicated, use the dvi or hdmi connection, and you are fine
[04:07] <OerHeks> http://www.lg.com/uk/monitors/lg-25UM65-P
[04:08] <intuxicated> OerHeks, Im using dvi connection now
[04:08] <intuxicated> I mean currently
[04:09] <tomhardy> I have a 32gb usb stick, what can i format it with that will work for read/write in OSX, Windows and Linux
[04:09] <tomhardy> that can handle bigger than 4.x gb files?
[04:09] <Ben64> Internet13: what video card, what video card drivers, pastebin the output of "xrandr"
[04:09] <Ben64> tomhardy: if osx supports ntfs, ntfs
[04:10] <tomhardy> erm yeah... ok does ubuntu support write on ntfs?
[04:10] <Ben64> yes
[04:10] <OerHeks> yes, OOTB
[04:11] <maddawg4> lol
[04:11] <daftykins> Ben64 + tomhardy , OS X refuses to write to NTFS as standard - i'd recommend exFAT
[04:11] <maddawg4> yes
[04:11] <Ben64> daftykins: yeah idk about osx
[04:11] <daftykins> *nod*
[04:11] <maddawg4> what?
[04:11] <maddawg4> i write to NTFS in OS X
[04:11] <daftykins> it's not supported as standard
[04:12] <maddawg4> oh i guess i forgot i have tuxera
[04:12] <maddawg4> it can for sure read them tho
[04:12] <daftykins> yep
[04:13] <intuxicated> http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/image.php?id=a8d4525
[04:13] <intuxicated> this is my display setting
[04:14] <OerHeks> image not available bla bla. cannot copy followup address
[04:14] <daftykins> http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=a8d4525
[04:15] <daftykins> intuxicated: did your DVI cable come with the LG?
[04:15] <Ben64> intuxicated:  what video card, what video card drivers, pastebin the output of "xrandr"
[04:15] <OerHeks> paste on paste.ubuntu.com please
[04:15] <intuxicated> daftykins, no, I buy it by my self
[04:16] <daftykins> and you were sure to get a dual-link DVI cable yes?
[04:16] <anarkhos> Does Ubuntu work well with AMD A8-7200P?
[04:16] <intuxicated> daftykins, no Im not
[04:16] <daftykins> intuxicated: http://www.playtool.com/pages/dvicompat/sldldvi.jpg
[04:17] <intuxicated> Ben64, http://dpaste.com/0XCTABX
[04:17] <intuxicated> daftykins, which one i should have?
[04:17] <daftykins> the bottom one, dual link DVI
[04:18] <daftykins> intuxicated: er your paste says HDMI connected, are you using an HDMI to DVI adapter?
[04:18] <intuxicated> Im using DVI
[04:18] <intuxicated> and i cant use HDMI
[04:18] <intuxicated> my pc doesnt have HDMI port
[04:18] <daftykins> ok so check your cable against my image
[04:18] <intuxicated> ok
[04:18] <wadadli> How can I move a directory with files in it?
[04:19] <daftykins> mv /path /destination/
[04:19] <wadadli> mv keeps telling me direcotry not empty
[04:21] <intuxicated> daftykins, its like dl-dvi-d
[04:21] <daftykins> ok, so you need to tell us the graphics device and driver next
[04:21] <intuxicated> maybe my cable is no not good enough?
[04:21] <daftykins> is it a laptop or desktop?
[04:21] <intuxicated> pc
[04:21] <OerHeks> wadadli, use the -R option, recursive
[04:21] <intuxicated> desktop
[04:22] <daftykins> intuxicated: is it using onboard graphics only, or a card?
[04:22] <intuxicated> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
[04:22] <OerHeks> so it moves folders in folders too.
[04:22] <daftykins> intuxicated: "grep model /proc/cpuinfo"
[04:22] <intuxicated> Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3240 CPU @ 3.40GHz
[04:23]  * OerHeks wonders why mv has no -R option ....
[04:24] <OerHeks> wadadli, oh i get it, you need the '/' at the end > mv /fromPath/ /toPath/
[04:25] <daftykins> intuxicated: i think your ivybridge CPU is too old to drive that custom resolution
[04:26] <daftykins> intuxicated: you'll have to buy a graphics card if your PC can be upgraded with one, to drive that screen
[04:26] <daftykins> or use VGA if available, but that's a horrible solution :)
[04:27] <daftykins> the good news is a 30 GBP nvidia card can drive that :)
[04:27] <_28_ria> hello, something has've changed in the system (ubuntu 64 15.4), can't move or resize windows with the mouse. the mouse indicator changes, when I move to borders to resize, but click doesn't pass through to the window to resize or to move it.
[04:28] <_28_ria> How to fix it?
[04:30] <OerHeks> _28_ria, i have to drag and let go, no click at all with ALT + left mouse
[04:30] <defcon6> hello guys. i have an i5 processor with integrated intel graphics and and wondering if I upgrade to Ubuntu 15.10 if that version has the intel drivers for linux like the 15.04 version.  graphics: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
[04:31] <OerHeks> defcon6, yes, intel is good supported.
[04:31] <defcon6> sweet
[04:31] <daftykins> that's the PCI device identifier and not a driver
[04:31] <daftykins> :)
[04:32] <mekhami> how did i ever use a computer before ubuntu+i3
[04:32] <mekhami> i'll never know
[04:32] <mekhami> my company forces me to use windows for menial red tape tasks and i wanna pull my hair out
[04:34] <daftykins> mekhami: chat -> #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[04:34] <_28_ria> OerHeks: I do see the borders and the header bar, I can click on them without alt, but the mouse click doesn't do anything on the borders and the header to move or resize them. Alt+mouse doesn't help either. Only the maximize/restore button works
[04:34] <_28_ria> OerHeks: I mean my windows are completley visible, not hidden behind the screen
[04:35] <OerHeks> _28_ria, i cannot resize windows if they are MAX. with that keys
[04:35] <_28_ria> The mouse click works, on everything else
[04:36] <Inumedia> Welp, I feel like a monster. Compiling failed to compile the libraries I needed, so I hopped on another server installed it all there through apt-get and then copied the .debs from the cache and forcibly installed them. :D
[04:38] <alain> Hello, what are you favorite CLI email client?
[04:40] <detrench> alain: wat
[04:40] <alain> Beside Alpine..
[04:41] <alain> email client commande line
[04:42] <detrench> _28_ria: disable it
[04:43] <detrench> It's a compiz issue _28_ria
[04:45] <artisanIndia> wazzup guys
[04:45] <jasonj8> Ubuntu keeps resetting my microphone volume. What do I do about this?
[04:46] <_28_ria> I've reset compiz settings from the working computer, (exported from one comp, imported in this), but it didn't help, maybe somebody can help, where in compiz I can look to fix that problem, because I am lost.
[04:48] <arooni> is it a problem that some of my files located in my wordpress install are owned by wp-user ?

[04:48] <root__> helo
[04:50] <arooni> nevermind ; i do now
[05:03] <delt> Hello
[05:03] <delt> just wondering, how do i tell which version of Qt is included with my system?
[05:03] <localuser-> Is it possible to get GL 4.4  support using the free AMD driver? It says its dependent on LLVM 3.7, is this trivial to change?
[05:12] <ki7mt> delt, If you have Qmake installed, simply type: qmake --version . that will render both the version of Qmake, and the QT version installed.
[05:12] <cluelessperson> hey all, I have a question.  I've been using Deluge for quite awhile and today it just disappeared.
[05:12] <cluelessperson> So I go looking.  The /home/deluge/.config/deluge/deluge_files  are there    /etc/init/deluged.conf   is there, referencing  /usr/bin/deluged    which ISN'T
[05:12] <cluelessperson> then I check, it's not even installed
[05:13] <cluelessperson> what would cause this to just randomly uninstall?
[05:13] <delt> ki7mt: thanks.
[05:13] <ki7mt> delt, you can also use: qtchooser --list-versions
[05:33] <VictoriaXOXO> Awwww yisssss. The Arch Linux wiki solved my problem within a minute or two that the official Ubuntu support channel spent days on. No offense. :P
[05:33] <VictoriaXOXO> Those guys are nerds.
[05:33] <lotuspsychje> VictoriaXOXO: what was your issue
[05:34] <VictoriaXOXO> lotuspsychje: Black magic tearing.
[05:34] <VictoriaXOXO> But now it's GONE!
[05:34] <lotuspsychje> VictoriaXOXO: and you solved it how
[05:34] <VictoriaXOXO> lotuspsychje: A simple line in xorg.conf. :)
[05:35] <lotuspsychje> VictoriaXOXO: thats not how ubuntu works, you shouldt be editing xorg to get things straight
[05:35] <VictoriaXOXO> lotuspsychje: No, I know, but at this point I've given up.
[05:35] <lotuspsychje> VictoriaXOXO: wich driver do you have active?
[05:35] <VictoriaXOXO> Nothing else works.
[05:35] <VictoriaXOXO> lotuspsychje: 352.63 (recommended).
[05:36] <lotuspsychje> VictoriaXOXO: wich card chipset and ubuntu version?
[05:36] <VictoriaXOXO> lotuspsychje: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 and 14.04 LTS.
[05:36] <lotuspsychje> ok
[05:36] <lotuspsychje> VictoriaXOXO: have you tryed all drivers in your list?
[05:37] <VictoriaXOXO> lotuspsychje: I've tried 8394 different things, including all drivers, reading forum threads, blog posts, and whined in here.
[05:37] <VictoriaXOXO> Nothing else works.
[05:37] <VictoriaXOXO> So I'm happy with this for now.
[05:38] <lotuspsychje> VictoriaXOXO: tryed 15.10?
[05:38] <VictoriaXOXO> lotuspsychje: No, I'm not moving away from LTS.
[05:38] <VictoriaXOXO> lotuspsychje: Be right back.

[06:25] <nitish> biglanky: what -R represents?
[06:26] <biglanky> recursive, meaning it will descend into sub folders and apply permissions there as well
[06:28] <nitish> biglanky: thanks.. it worked.

[07:58] <guite> Hi there :)
[07:59] <guite> Is there anyone here suffering as much as I do to get its nvidia GC working ? :)
[07:59] <texmex> Does anyone know if it is possible to watch podcast on SMPlayer,and if so how?
[08:00] <BREAK> Hello, Anyone know how to bypass the gmail mobile verification?
[08:01] <guite> The best I could get is the xorg error http://paste.ubuntu.com/13342433/
[08:01] <guite> couldn’t be able to find a solution on the internet
[08:01] <dionysus69> OerHeks: ok thanks ))
[08:06] <dionysus69> so if I do ssh-copy-id <username>@<host> while I am sshed from client to host, it will automatically add public rsa to the host?
[08:06] <nayKang> too many kernel: nfs: server  not responding, still trying
[08:07] <OerHeks> dionysus69, yes
[08:07] <texmex> What's the best software to use for podcast?
[08:08] <BREAK> Hello, Anyone know how to bypass the gmail mobile verification?
[08:09] <dionysus69> OerHeks: also, I am using ip address of the host to connect with ssh, how can I use username@host instead? where do I set it?
[08:09] <OerHeks> dionysus69@<ip>
[08:09] <guite> If any of you have an ubuntu trusty with a working nvidia geforce 840m, I’d like to know if you had a specific configuration to apply for that :)
[08:10] <dionysus69> OerHeks: oh haha ok I didn't ask question correctly :) how do I map ip to some nickname like hosts file in windows :)
[08:10] <guite> internet didn’t help. This article looked promising but didn’t work at all for me http://askubuntu.com/questions/481007/every-reboot-alternatives-for-x86-64-linux-gnu-gl-conf-and-i386-linux-gnu-gl-con
[08:10] <TJ-> guite: Are you impling you have a problem with the same config? It's easier to actually describe your issue :)

[08:11] <TJ-> dionysus69: using .ssh/config entries
[08:11] <OerHeks> dionysus69, not sure, i think you want an alias for that ip ?
[08:11] <TJ-> dionysus69: see "man ssh_config"
[08:11] <dionysus69> TJ-: hmm cool cool thanks and OerHeks you too :D
[08:11] <OerHeks> oh oke
[08:12] <guite> TJ-: Thanks for answering :) I have a black screen at boot if I set the nvidia card in nvidia-settings
[08:12] <guite> It can be black screen or sometimes, it switches back automatically to the intel graphic card
[08:12] <OerHeks> that nvidia geforce 840m should work with nvidia 337+  http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverresults.aspx/74888/en-us
[08:12] <TJ-> dionysus69: I have lots configured, but here's an example for github: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13342526/
[08:13] <guite> OerHeks: I use 352, seems to be the recommended driver for it…
[08:13] <TJ-> guite: OK, so this is an Optimus/nvidia-prime issue
[08:13] <guite> yes it is :)
[08:13] <guite> sorry it wasn’t clear
[08:14] <TJ-> guite: the first thing I'd recommend is ensuring you have the LTS Enablement kernel/Xorg stack installed
[08:14] <TJ-> !ltse | guite
[08:14] <dionysus69> ssh-copy-id <username>@<host> the host part should be the ip of the client? so if my dev machine is a laptop and I change ip allot this will be close to useless?
[08:15] <grtsq> exit
[08:15] <TJ-> dionysus69: right; which is why we prefer using DNS hostnames and dynamic/multicast-DNS. Ubuntu by default installs m-DNS client/server avahi so if all systems on the network are using m-DNS you may be OK
[08:16] <dionysus69> ugh :D
[08:17] <guite> TJ-: Didn’t finish to read yet but, is it a way to backport package from vivid ?
[08:17] <guite> TJ-: if so, maybe I should better upgrade to vivid, don’t you think ?
[08:18] <TJ-> dionysus69: It depends where you're using ssh with @<ip>. A one-off for ssh-copy-id is no big deal, configuring an alias in .ssh/config is better, but using a hostname that can always be resolved to the correct IP address is obviously preferable. If your dev machine (the laptop) is the client this won't matter - only if the target you're connecting to keeps changing its IP address.
[08:19] <TJ-> guite: No, its not backports as such, it's specific up to date hardware support for devices that were produced after the LTS was released.
[08:19] <TJ-> guite: it just so happens those packages come from later releases, which makes sense, but they're part of the main archive.
[08:20] <guite> TJ-: OK thanks ! Looks great
[08:20] <guite> Might not solve my problems but anyway, still gives me hope :)
[08:21] <TJ-> guite: most times it solves this exact issue
[08:21] <guite> \o/
[08:23] <winem_> morning, I'm running ubuntu 15.04 on my laptop and made updates yesterday evening. everything was fine until I shut the notebook down.  now, when I start it, I see the login screen but some icons (settings for example) are missing but the options (Gnome, Default, Ubuntu, etc.) appears if I move the mouse over it... I see the background screen for a few seconds after login before it logs out again
[08:24] <winem_> and I had no chance to enter the grub menu (holding shift during boot is still correct?!) or enter a shell...
[08:24] <Kartagis> how come my dd destroyed partition is showing 647G occupied?
[08:24] <winem_> do you have any idea how to rescue the system?
[08:24] <TJ-> winem_: Shift is correct; as long as you hold it down early enough
[08:24] <winem_> TJ-, I use Ubuntu with encrypted disks + swap
[08:24] <TJ-> winem_: That sounds like you've been hit by a relatively common issue that seems to affect Unity
[08:24] <TJ-> winem_: Same here; changes nothing about boot :)
[08:25] <winem_> but the fallback to the login screen also happens when I login with Gnome
[08:25] <winem_> TJ-, did you solve the issue yet?
[08:25] <dionysus69> TJ-: ok thanks, my host wont be changing ip so problem solved yay xD
[08:26] <TJ-> winem_: I don't use Gnome/Unity, but the issues we've dealt with seem to involve moving the $HOME/.config directory to a backup to remove some little understood config problem. But, before looking at that, check the Xorg server's logs in case its a 'simple' GPU driver issue. /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[08:29] <TJ-> Kartagis: if you pastebin some actual command results to illustrate we may be able to tell you; right now we could tell you 'because the Cat sat on the keyboard' and it'd make as much sense as anything else :)
[08:30] <Kartagis> TJ-: http://termbin.com/gt8m
[08:30] <winem_> ok, let me test something
[08:31] <TJ-> Kartagis: looks like there's a valid file-system on /dev/sdb1
[08:33] <Kartagis> I used photorec to recover all my data but filenames are all messed up. can you recommend another solution?
[08:33] <Kartagis> filenames are something f293494.txt
[08:33] <winem_> TJ-, I'm unable to open any terminal or my lovely terminator. after login, I have about 10 seconds to do something and then the login screen appears again
[08:33] <TJ-> Kartagis: If the directory inodes were lost then no, photorec names files arbitrarily
[08:34] <TJ-> winem_: Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get a real console, log-in there, work from the shell
[08:34] <Kartagis> TJ-: any other tool?
[08:35] <TJ-> Kartagis: nope, if the superblocks were destroyed then short of manually locating and rebuilding the directory entries its not going to happen. Those entries were likely over-written
[08:35] <winem_> TJ-.... sorry... I'm so damn stupid... of course f1 to f7...
[08:35] <winem_> don't know how often I did it on servers but did not think on it regarding the current issue :D
[08:35] <TJ-> winem_: use 'pastebinit' to send logs etc.
[08:36] <TJ-> winem_: we all get tunnel vision at some point :)
[08:36] <winem_> thank you. I will try to solve the issue from the command line now :)
[08:37] <maxtimbo> yo, simple thing, i'm sure. but there is a little red triangle that says the update info is out of date. happens every once in a while after i update. Can't get rid of it sometimes. what's the deal?
[08:38] <maxtimbo> i surmise it's about outdated ppa's
[08:39] <norc> So. Why is add-apt-repository so hesistant to show me any error messages. I just spent the past hour trying to understand why I couldn't add a PPA, just to realize I have already added it.
[08:40] <TJ-> maxtimbo: usually due to not being able to fetch some package lists. Best to use the terminal shell and do "sudo apt update" and investigate the warnings, if any
[08:40] <norc> "Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:brightbox/ruby-ng'" is such a helpful error message. Tells me everything I need to know.... :(
[08:40] <TJ-> norc: maybe it expects the user to be more intelligent than it? :D
[08:40] <TJ-> norc: patches welcome, as always :p
[08:40] <maxtimbo> they are all 404 not founds, TJ-
[08:41] <TJ-> maxtimbo: sounds to me like that's an unsupported ubuntu release. what does "cat /etc/issue" report?
[08:41] <maxtimbo> Ubuntu 15.10 \n \l
[08:42] <norc> TJ-: Seriously though, sometimes you need to reinstall ca-certs, different times its a DNS issue, or your server time is not up to date, or your proxy returns an error...
[08:42] <norc> It's a guess game that forces me to strace into the application and have a packet sniffer running in the background...
[08:42] <maxtimbo> nah, it's a few outdated ppa's, TJ-
[08:42] <maxtimbo> i think i just need to scrap them
[08:43] <TJ-> norc: if you're having those kind of issues routinely there's something very wrong in the deployment
[08:44] <TJ-> norc: as the saying goes "PPAs are NOT supported" and for good reason
[08:44] <OerHeks> maxtimbo, paste the errors on paste.ubuntu.com and have a look
[08:45] <maxtimbo> OerHeks, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13342793/
[08:45] <norc> TJ-: It's a fair point. Though the ca-cert issues I get routinely with apt can give me headaches thoug.
[08:46] <TJ-> norc: CA certs? That's an X509 issue, unrelated to anything apt does
[08:46] <norc> TJ-: Maybe I just happen to notice it more often than others because I have a few dozen boxes (albeit this is small in what some admins have)
[08:46] <OerHeks> maxtimbo, 1 this one has no wily candidates https://launchpad.net/~ferramroberto/+archive/ubuntu/java
[08:47] <TJ-> norc: if you're using PPAs then any issues there will be GPG keys, nothing to do with X509 CAs
[08:47] <OerHeks> this one too, https://launchpad.net/~mc3man/+archive/ubuntu/gstffmpeg-keep ( i tried that myself to get wma playing, no luck )
[08:47] <nonedead>  have been looking for hours for a answer for my resolv.conf problem I have been having It clears itself the instant something is written to it
[08:48] <norc> TJ-: No I get these CA issues from time to time when installing standard packages with apt.
[08:48] <TJ-> nonedead: that's because /etc/resolv.conf is managed by resolvconf, and the user shouldn't touch it
[08:48] <OerHeks> maxtimbo, and the last one too, https://launchpad.net/~wallch/+archive/ubuntu/wallch-daily no candidates
[08:48] <nonedead> I do not have resolvconf installed
[08:48] <TJ-> norc: apt does NOT uses X509 or CAs; are you getting your terminology in a twist?
[08:48] <OerHeks> maxtimbo,  remove them with ppa-purge, see the correct ppa name in the urls
[08:49] <maxtimbo> that's the command. was having trouble recalling it. thanks OerHeks
[08:49] <TJ-> nonedead: so a non-standard deployment. you'd best tell us the precise details of the system.
[08:49] <nonedead> It is running the latest stable Debian with Sickrage and nzbGet installed
[08:49] <nonedead> Plus screen and unrar
[08:50] <nonedead> That is all that is installed
[08:50] <TJ-> nonedead: this is the Ubuntu support channel; for Debian see #debian
[08:50] <nonedead> I was hoping that someone in here could hel[
[08:50] <nonedead> *help
[08:51] <nonedead> The only answer I have gotten from there is check you NetworkManager config
[08:52] <nonedead> It is a command line box, no gui is installed on the machine
[08:52] <Viking667> good evening, all
[08:53] <TJ-> nonedead: As I said, we only provide support for Ubuntu in this channel
[08:53] <nonedead> Alright, fine
[08:54] <Viking667> I have a bash program I previously started with a .desktop file. Now, I'm noticing it turns up in the process list as:  python3 /usr/bin/bash -x /home/viking/mycommand -s mycommandparams
[08:54] <Viking667> As you can imagine, not a lot happens. No gnome terminal...
[08:55] <Viking667> oops, sorry. My bad, I meant to type this:  /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/gnome-terminal -x /home/viking/bin/mycommand -s myparam-
[08:56] <Viking667> Is there something else I should be doing now I've upgraded to 15.04?
[08:58] <winem_> still stuck in the login loop....
[08:58] <abdel_> i can't install skype and I keep on getting this error: W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid-security/main amd64 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_vivid-security_main_binary-amd64_Packages)
[08:59] <pinPoint> can I build a binary in ubuntu 14.04 and move it to ubuntu 12.04?
[09:00] <winem_> abdel_, probably, it's just a warning. check the sources lists in /etc/apt/ and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ for the entry
[09:00] <TJ-> winem_: did you pastebin the /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[09:00] <abdel_> whenever i do sudo apt-get install skpye
[09:00] <abdel_> it give me error
[09:00] <TJ-> abdel_: what error? and it is "skype" not "skpye" in case it is a simple typo
[09:01] <ki7mt> pinPoint, use pbuilder or cowbuilder for that, make things simple and all but gauntnesses correct package compatibility.
[09:01] <Nitish> So finally I am using irssc from windows os. Can anyone tell me that how can I open this in default windows cmd?
[09:01] <abdel_> E: Unable to locate package skype
[09:01] <abdel_> root@abdel-HP-ProBook-4530s:~#
[09:01] <abdel_> @Tj
[09:01] <pinPoint> ki7mt: what if I just used terminal, and make/gcc
[09:02] <winem_> Tj-, not yet. let me do it now
[09:02] <ki7mt> pinPoint, then you run the risk of lib / tool chain issues
[09:02] <abdel_> 'I am using ubuntu 15.04, but having a difficult time installing skype, I have checked software center but its not there
[09:02] <Nitish> HOw can I open irssi in my default windows os cmd?
[09:02] <OerHeks> abdel_, enable partner repository first, for that 3th party binairy blob
[09:02] <TJ-> abdel_: "apt-cache search -n skype" will list all candidate packages, but I think you need a 3rd party repository for Skype
[09:02] <abdel_> how do I do that Oerheks
[09:03] <OerHeks> !skype | abdel_
[09:03] <pinPoint> ki7mt: is there a way of me getting glibc 2.17 into ubuntu 12.04 without serious breakage?
[09:03] <Viking667> Nitish: That's not exactly a Ubuntu question, you realise.
[09:03] <ki7mt> pinPoint, why I recommended pbuilder is, it builds the package in a sanitary environment which is both version and arch specific.
[09:03] <Nitish> Viking667: oh ya..
[09:03] <abdel_> @Oerheks: how do you mean !skype | abdel_
[09:04] <Nitish> Viking667: I think I should go to #freenode.
[09:04] <TJ-> pinPoint: if a package is for 12.04, and the build host is 14.04, use a pbuilder/schroot/sbuild chroot 12.04 env to build the package
[09:04] <Nitish> How can I go one step back from here?
[09:04] <pinPoint> it is not a package, rather a binary file
[09:04] <Viking667> Nitish: or you could also type /join #windows
[09:04] <pinPoint> something i can throw inside /usr/sbin/
[09:04] <TJ-> pinPoint: right, so build it in a 12.04 chroot
[09:04] <ki7mt> pinPoint, There is always a way, and you cuse update-alternatives to run multiple tool chaines, but IMHO, it's not the best path, others may disagree.
[09:05] <ki7mt> cuse - could use
[09:05] <TJ-> pinPoint: use 'debootstrap' to create a simple buildd chroot for it
[09:05] <OerHeks> abdel, read the message from ubottu, is that so hard to understand?
[09:05] <pinPoint> yeah i'm lost
[09:05] <pinPoint> right now I'm getting this nasty error: /libressl-2.3.1/.openssl/lib/libcrypto.a(getentropy_linux.o): In function `getentropy_fallback':
[09:06] <ki7mt> TJ-, That what pbuilder / pbuilder-dist does, builds chroot  that is arch and version specific. debboostrap is used to create the base image.
[09:06] <pinPoint> ngnix+libressl builds properly on my 14.04 but moving to 12.04 with those ideas ^^^ just seems painful :/
[09:07] <bp0> how does one reinstall ubuntu but save users and passwords?
[09:07] <TJ-> ki7mt: correct, but pbuilder is for tailored for Debian package builds and that isn't what pinPoint wants here
[09:07] <atralheaven1> Hello, I want to install a .deb file from terminal, how can I do it?
[09:07] <osho0000> what good browser is lighter than midori for lubuntu?
[09:07] <ki7mt> More Info: http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/
[09:07] <OerHeks> atralheaven1, sudo dpkg -i /path/to/<deb>
[09:07] <winem_> atralheaven1 dpkg -i <dev-file.deb>
[09:07] <Viking667> meanwhile, how do I create a .desktop file that calls gnome-terminal with my program as an arg, without it first calling python3 to execute gnome terminal?
[09:07] <TJ-> bp0: backup  /etc/group /etc/passwd /etc/shadow /etc/sudoers
[09:07] <Viking667> ... something seems weird there.
[09:07] <pinPoint> TJ-: ki7mt would moving to 14.04 be another solution?
[09:08] <bp0> TJ-, will there be any problem with the users that packages created?
[09:08] <bp0> if I replace those files in the new install
[09:08] <Viking667> those files should never GET replaced
[09:09] <winem_> TJ-, now, the login works but I have another issue. do you have one more second for me?
[09:09] <ki7mt> pinPoint, solution for what? I build packages for all the current Ubuntu releases, across i386,amd64, armhf and ppcel63, all using pbuilder, it's not just for Debian.
[09:09] <Viking667> ... hang on, which files are you referring to, bp0?
[09:09] <TJ-> bp0: the uid/gids could end up being different but as long as you insert the backed-up files as soon as an ubuntu-minimal is in place, and do a sed search/replace to fix them up to match the new system, it will then work OK for subsequent package installs
[09:09] <ki7mt> whoos ppc64el my bad
[09:09] <TJ-> someone's got a sticky bit
[09:09] <Viking667> Ah, my mistake. I'll do the "Okay, I'll shaddup" thing.
[09:10] <pinPoint> for the build to finish properly. feels like more learning is to be had. :/
[09:10] <curses> Hi guys - I'm running a bunch of virtual Ubuntu servers and I'm looking to make them more secure. Would anyone be able to point me at some good resources for server security?
[09:10] <ki7mt> TJ-, Sure do.
[09:11] <Viking667> meh. I'll deal with this thing another time.
[09:11] <TJ-> pinPoint: maybe the minimal library versions required is the crux of the issue, and you'll end up in a 'dependency hell' due to that.
[09:11] <Viking667> Cheers, everyone. Have a good night/day/afternoon.
[09:11] <TJ-> winem_: what was the issue that prevented log-in? GPU driver?
[09:12] <pinPoint> TJ-: I think it needs maybe glibc 2.17
[09:12] <ki7mt> Lets see, thrid package, of section 2.1 -- ah yes, pbuilder: http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/getting-set-up.html
[09:12] <pinPoint> 12.04 only maxes out at 2.15
[09:12] <malloh> please help
[09:12] <malloh> me
[09:12] <pinPoint> i haven't looked around for unofficial ppa for it
[09:12] <abdel_> i keep getting this: W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid-security/main amd64 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_vivid-security_main_binary-amd64_Packages)
[09:13] <pinPoint> ki7mt: how much work is there to be had? lol
[09:13] <TJ-> pinPoint: an option for it is to install a 14.04 chroot on the 12.04 system and then you'll not have issues
[09:13] <ki7mt> pinPoint, FOr a personal, non-launchpad package, it's fairly simple.
[09:13] <TJ-> pinPoint: again, 'debootstrap' will help you there.
[09:13] <bp0> TJ-, so those files + home are all I need to preserve users into a different ubuntu install?
[09:13] <abdel_> how do I get rid of this warning
[09:13] <winem_> I noticed that the dpkg has shown an error in the log. dpkg reconfigure did the trick. now I works when I boot an old kernel (3.19.0-22). when I just choose ubuntu I get the screen requesting the passphrase to decrypt my hdds but I can not enter anything. If I choose the latest kernel (3.19.0-33-generic) it hangs atfer Loading initial ramdisk for a few minutes now
[09:14] <TJ-> bp0: yes. /etc/group is the groups, /etc/passwd is the users, their shells and home directories, and /etc/shadow is the user encrypted passwords
[09:14] <bp0> TJ-, aright, thank you
[09:14] <TJ-> bp0: /etc/sudoers is the sudo config but that's usually standard unless you've customised it
[09:15] <TJ-> winem_: so you've got LUKS/dm-crypt root file-system?
[09:15] <winem_> only /home and /swap is encrypted
[09:16] <TJ-> winem_: that sounds like a 'Plymouth' splash screen issue and/or the wrong TTY being used for input. Which Ubuntu release is that on?
[09:16] <winem_> 15.04
[09:16] <TJ-> winem_: OK, so not being unlocked during intialramfs then
[09:16] <winem_> and yes, I already assume a Plymouth issue
[09:16] <TJ-> winem_: Are you using systemd or Upstart for the init system?
[09:16] <ki7mt> pinPoint, But when your building on an differe arch  / version, that's where, as TJ- point out, chroot comes in, pbuilder ( my recommendation ) makes that whole process of building the package very easy.
[09:17] <TJ-> winem_: first thing I'd try is removing "splash" from the kernel command-line
[09:17] <pinPoint> well lets see. I have to build another 14.04 while I have a Vbox running of 14.04 while in win10. *head spins*
[09:17] <TJ-> winem_: 2nd is disabling GRUB graphical console so Linux uses pure text consoles during start-up
[09:18] <pinPoint> i'll take down my notes for nginx+libressl and keep them on shelf for later when I upgrade to 14.04 from 12.04
[09:18] <winem_> systemd, TJ-
[09:19] <winem_> disabling GRUB graphical console is done by enabling GRUB_TERMINAL=console ?
[09:20] <TJ-> winem_: We had an issue recently sounds like yours; In it, the user couldn't enter their pass-phrase and it turned out - after a lot of diagnostics - that the wrong tty was being used for reading input (i.e. not the console that was being displayed). I seem to recall it was caused because the usual kernel command-line option "vt.handoff=7" had been removed
[09:20] <TJ-> winem_: correct
[09:21] <winem_> ok, but I could add the kernel option in the grub menu after pressing e, right?
[09:21] <TJ-> winem_: correct again :)
[09:21] <ki7mt> pinPoint, It's pretty easy .. well sort of, create your chroot: pbuilder-dist precise amd64 create  .. then build a widget: pbuilder-dist precise i386 ./*precise*.dsc
[09:23] <ki7mt> pinPoint, Obviously change amd64 to i386 or whatever the needed arch is
[09:23] <pinPoint> :/
[09:24] <winem_> let me double-check it but it looks like removing splash from the command-line seemed to work
[09:24] <ki7mt> I setup scripts to do most of it. once you do a few, it's pretty easy.
[09:25] <Molloh> Hi people
[09:25] <lotuspsychje> Molloh: welcome, how can we help you?
[09:25] <NKD> Molloh: ask your question.
[09:26] <Molloh> im need help from my video driver
[09:26] <_ACID_> hey eveyone
[09:26] <NKD> Molloh: explain in more details.
[09:26] <lotuspsychje> !details | Molloh
[09:26] <_ACID_> How is doing?
[09:26] <lotuspsychje> _ACID_: you joined an ubuntu support channel mate
[09:27] <winem_> ok. booting the latest kernel via recovery-mode -> entering the passphrase for home and choos resume normally works
[09:28] <winem_> but it does not work without the recovery mode or booting into the grub default. will try the other approaches
[09:28] <TJ-> winem_: does the 'default' command-line have vt.handoff=7 on it?
[09:29] <ki7mt> pinPoint, I gotta go now, as as there's a sticky bit problem, but I think you'll find, using sbuild, pbuilder or cowbuilder is good route to build a pkg on one version-arch for another version-arch.
[09:29] <winem_> no
[09:30] <pinPoint> no. I think i will just move to 14.04
[09:30] <pinPoint> i just finished another build on the vbox 14.04 and it was successful. :/
[09:31] <slickrick> ubuntu
[09:31] <ki7mt> pinPoint, That is certainly an option :-)
[09:31] <pinPoint> thanks for the tips though. will look into pbuilder later
[09:31] <Molloh> I'm working on OS Trenta I have a problem with the resolution is connected to the LCD ekrana.PC TV.Razreshenie billed 1920-1080 but still huge , huge icons and okna.Im Tried to put different drivers , but or rupture
[09:31] <Molloh> solution remains the same or normal but the sound via HDMI No
[09:32] <OerHeks> Molloh, how is OS Trenta related to ubuntu support?
[09:33] <Molloh> it is based on Ubuntu 14
[09:34] <lotuspsychje> Molloh: and its not officially supported
[09:34] <OerHeks> Molloh, find their irc channel > https://tree.taiga.io/project/trenta-os/wiki/support
[09:37] <Molloh> I understand that is not officially supported , but I was advised to go here
[09:39] <OerHeks> bad advise, that trenta has its own issues.
[09:40] <Molloh> Unfortunately in the channel no one
[09:41] <ki7mt> That's may be a good reason to *not* use that distro.
[09:44] <death_> Hello...
[09:44] <Molloh> people!
[09:45] <Molloh> please help me
[09:45] <death_> yeah...
[09:45] <lotuspsychje> Molloh: make your life easy mate and install an ubuntu version from the topic
[09:46] <OerHeks> again, that trenta has its own issues.
[09:46] <lotuspsychje> Molloh: there are lots of wm's you can try on official ubuntu aswell, to make it look as trenta
[09:48] <Molloh> So I did not fix the problem with the resolution remains
[09:52] <lotuspsychje> Molloh: please seek trenta help elsewhere
[09:52] <lotuspsychje> Molloh: again, you can install themes on our official ubuntu, so its look clean like trenta
[09:54] <Molloh> It is based on Ubuntu, in support of Trent told me to contact the support for Ubuntu with my problem.
[09:54] <lotuspsychje> Molloh: and that was wrong advise
[09:57] <Molloh> This is the same Ubuntu just another shell, and then the problem must be addressed as well as in ubuntu.Chto in such cases, as I have done in ubuntu?
[09:58] <OerHeks> Molloh, no they did not, you just stated the irc was empty :-D
[10:00] <winem_> TJ-, still around?
[10:00] <Psil0Cybin> Sup
[10:01] <Molloh> If he really is empty
[10:01] <Psil0Cybin> How has everyone been doing

[10:07] <lotuspsychje> morning EriC^^
[10:10] <HackerII> marnin lotuspsychje
[10:11] <lotuspsychje> hey HackerII
[10:16] <abdel_> hello guys
[10:16] <abdel_> my wifi
[10:16] <abdel_> is not working
[10:16] <Grimblee> that's sad, what kind of test did you do ?
[10:16] <abdel_> I am using ubuntu 15.04 , i have a wired connection but my wifi is not working
[10:16] <Grimblee> did you try rebooting ?
[10:17] <Grimblee> what's the output of ifconfig wlan0 ?
[10:21] <abdel_> I am using ubuntu 15.04 , i have a wired connection but my wifi is not working
[10:21] <lotuspsychje> abdel_: wifi card chipset?
[10:21] <Grimblee> Yeah, what's the output of "ifconfig wlan0" in temrinal ?
[10:21] <Grimblee> terminal*
[10:22] <Grimblee> Do you see wifi networks in the system tray ?
[10:28] <winem_> I have an issue with Ubuntu 15.04. an update from yesterday evening caused a login loop. this is fixed now. but now, I'm unable to connect to any wifi. no wifis are listed in the network manager
[10:28] <winem_> restarted the manager several times
[10:29] <Grimblee> seems like you've got the issue as abdel_
[10:29] <Grimblee> the same*
[10:29] <lotuspsychje> winem: sudo lshw -C network
[10:29] <Grimblee> same version, same error
[10:30] <winem_> lotuspsychje, done. *network UNCLAINED lists the wireless controller and *-network DISABLED the LAN controller (which should be ok, because there is no direct LAN interface and I have to use a USB-to-Ethernet adapter
[10:31] <lotuspsychje> winem: wifi card chipset?
[10:31] <winem_> Intel Wireless 7265
[10:32] <lotuspsychje> winem: did you update to latest with network cable?
[10:32] <winem_> no
[10:33] <lotuspsychje> winem: try a sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade
[10:33] <winem_> I have the adapter at home and wanted to know if one of you has another approach. but ok, I'll do it today evening anywa
[10:33] <lotuspsychje> winem: also check your additional drivers list
[10:34] <lotuspsychje> winem: come online with your home pc, where the card is located and try the update with cable
[10:36] <vape> I'm trying to get jetty running with an init script on Ubuntu 12.04. Using "service jetty run" does start it in the foreground as expected. "service jetty start" reports "FAILED", but actually it does start jetty and writes the pid file
[10:37] <vape> but because it reports failed, I can't then stop the service, and my config management tooling thinks it failed
[10:37] <EriC^^> vape: try sudo service jetty restart
[10:37] <vape> EriC^^: I can't even start it in the first place EriC^^
[10:38] <vape> or rather, I can, but init thinks I can't
[10:38] <EriC^^> worth a shot
[10:38] <vape> and it needs to work when the service starts on boot, cos the config management tool only has visibility at the service level
[10:38] <vape> these are cattle not pets, I can't be sshing onto them
[10:38] <EriC^^> vape: try without using run first
[10:39] <vape> well if I do "service jetty restart" it tries to stop jetty (the PID in the /var/run/jetty.pid isn't the actual PID of the process)
[10:39] <vape> and then tries to start jetty, and reports FAILED again just like when I do start
[10:39] <vape> The only thing that works is "service jetty run" which doesn't fork to the background
[10:39] <EriC^^> vape: if you try start without run first does it work?
[10:40] <vape> OK so right now, jetty isn't running. but there is a file /var/run/jetty.pid which contains a number
[10:40] <vape> The number doesn't correspond to any running process
[10:40] <vape> if I do service jetty start it prints dots for a few seconds and then prints FAILED
[10:42] <vape> After doing that the number in /var/run/jetty.pid changes
[10:44] <winem_> lotuspsychje, ok will do it. thanks
[10:49] <lotuspsychje> morning MonkeyDust
[10:49] <MonkeyDust> lotuspsychje
[10:55] <winem_> lotuspsychje, I got an adapter now and I recognized further issues. LAN is also not working... and I'm missing the settings to change the screen brightness, etc
[10:58] <lotuspsychje> winem: try ubuntu LTS for a more stable experience
[11:02] <soft_> ciao
[11:03] <winem_>  lotus, to be honest, I'm wondering why I did not install 14.04 like I did on all other workstations
[11:03] <winem_> last question: networking via LAN works if I enter the rescue mode, enable networking first and resume to the normal boot procedure
[11:03] <winem_> but it does not work without this workaround
[11:03] <winem_> any guess why it fails?
[11:04] <lotuspsychje> winem: sounds like an intel driver failing perhaps
[11:04] <lotuspsychje> winem: you can try a 14.04.3 liveusb, and test both your adapters from there
[11:05] <lotuspsychje> winem: see if it makes a difference with 15.04
[11:08] <winem_> ok, great idea!
[11:10] <TJ-> winem_: as always... read the logs. syslog for networking, if the PC is  using Network Manager
[11:20] <rpadovani> Hey all :-) I'm on ubuntu 14.04 with all updates installed. Starting today, when I click on 'x' to close a window, it closes *all* instances of the program. Like, I open 2 terminals, I close one, both are closed - same with multiple firefox windows
[11:20] <rpadovani> is it a known bug?
[11:21] <winem_> TJ-, I'm very confused.. it does not even accept usb drives for backups, etc... let me see the logs
[11:22] <TJ-> winem_: if there's a general hardware issue, check dmesg / kern.log. if device nodes aren't bein correctly populated that sounds like a udevd issue. Have you checked the root file-system etc. haven't run out of space of you're getting multiple 'weird' issues?
[11:23] <L0> hello. I have one thing to ask. It's about renaming network interface names. I know there is a file called 'iftab' under /etc, and i tried changing it, but seems like something is overwriting that change. anyone has idea?
[11:23] <L0> right now, my wireless interface name is ridiculus, 'wlp3s0'
[11:23] <winem_>  filesystem check on all partitions was successfully and dmesg looks fine. it fines the new usb drive and shows the right prodcut info
[11:24] <winem_> I would just have to make a backup of a few gb...
[11:24] <L0> it only happened when i install ubuntu 15.10, such thing didn't occur to me when upgrading from 14.10 to 1510
[11:24] <L0> anyone got similar problem with network interface names?
[11:26] <MonkeyDust> L0  guess you have to rename you wireless network in the router (192.168.1.1 or so)
[11:27] <L0> MonkeyDust: Uh, how is that related?
[11:27] <L0> MonkeyDust: it was my wireless adapter name, not the router's
[11:27] <TJ-> L0: "/etc/iftab" ?
[11:27] <L0> TJ-: Tried, being overwritten at boot
[11:28] <L0> and i tried adding network.rules file under /etc/udev/rules.d/, didn't work either
[11:28] <TJ-> L0: interface naming is done by Systemd, according to the predictable network interface name specification
[11:28] <L0> but shouldn't the custom network.rules file overwrite the naming convention?
[11:30] <L0> this is quite annoying, since i can't even remember that weird name, and it's hard to type too. wlan0 is much better
[11:30] <TJ-> L0: Ubuntu doesn't use /etc/iftab, and we don't have the ifrename tool either. Are you sure that's an ubuntu system?
[11:30] <L0> yes, i'm on ubuntu 15.10 and i can confirm i have iftab file
[11:31] <TJ-> L0: So am I, there's no package using ifrename or /etc/iftab
[11:31] <TJ-> L0: see http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/
[11:31] <L0> i don't have ifrename but iftab is present
[11:32] <L0> TJ-: and the weird thing is when i change the name inside iftab and reboot, it revert back to original name inside that file again
[11:33] <MonkeyDust> L0  maybe because that iftab file is alien to ubuntu
[11:34] <zingz0r> hi guys!
[11:35] <noelia>  Hello everyone
[11:35] <bober454> hi
[11:35] <L0> hi there
[11:35] <allvariables> hi
[11:35] <bober454> what kind of chat is this??
[11:36] <TJ-> bober454: answering support questions for Ubuntu
[11:36] <zingz0r> i'd like to backup my server before update. is bacula best for it or what would you sugesT?
[11:36] <MonkeyDust> bober454  ubuntu support
[11:36] <L0> bober454: volunteer run ubuntu support, i guess
[11:36] <zingz0r> suggest*
[11:36] <MonkeyDust> zingz0r  rync is pretty fast and versatile
[11:36] <zolder> hi
[11:36] <noelia> I need to install wine but I get this message from Synaptic: Broken packages or dependencies unresolved
[11:37] <zingz0r> u mean rsync?
[11:37] <MonkeyDust> noelia  what's the output of   cat /etc/issue
[11:37] <MonkeyDust> zingz0r  type, yes, that's what i mean
[11:37] <zolder> will the standard ubuntu 14.04.3 driver wich is provided in the installation will be enough to run steam games ? or can i install the amd driver from the website..
[11:37] <MonkeyDust> typo*
[11:37] <noelia> MonkeyDust Ubuntu 15.04 \n \l
[11:38] <L0> noelia: run 'sudo apt-get install -f' that'll resolv dependencies
[11:38] <MonkeyDust> noelia  in a terminal, run   sudo dpkg --configure -a
[11:39] <zingz0r> ty. and should i bacup all folders or is there a folder list which is enough for restoration
[11:40] <MonkeyDust> zingz0r  there's also #ubuntu-server
[11:40] <zingz0r> oh ty
[11:40] <zingz0r> see you
[11:42] <noelia> I did both but the output of "sudo apt-get install wine" is this: http://pastebin.com/st0FQmwY
[11:44] <murat_> hi
[11:44] <MonkeyDust> noelia  what's the output of   sudo apt update
[11:45] <murat_> hj
[11:45] <MonkeyDust> murat_  it works
[11:47] <noelia> MonkeyDust http://pastebin.com/2W8hVLyP
[11:47] <noelia> Which means "Failed to obtain..."
[11:47] <MonkeyDust> noelia  is what i thought... the ppa
[11:48] <noelia> MonkeyDust Oh, the ppa
[11:48] <MonkeyDust> noelia  disaable / remove the ppa, then update again
[11:50] <zolder> Hi, iwas installsting steam in ubuntu, but i got error You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
[11:50] <zolder> libc.so.6
[11:50] <zolder> do i need to do just apt-get install libc.so.6 ?
[11:51] <noelia> MonkeyDust The output of "sudo apt update" is correct now (after disabling the ppa), but I still can't install wine
[11:51] <TJ-> zolder: last time we saw that, it turned out to be a false message, and due to a corrupted 0-length file in $HOME/.steam/
[11:52] <zolder> ok TJ.
[11:52] <zolder> How can i fix that?
[11:53] <MonkeyDust> noelia  moment, i have something called 'fix packages'...
[11:53] <TJ-> zolder: The user renamed the steam directory with a back-up name and let steam re-install the files under $HOME
[11:53] <noelia> MonkeyDust Ok, thank you :)
[11:54] <zolder> i cannot choose where steam is installed
[11:54] <zolder> it just goes..
[11:55] <TJ-> zolder: if the existing directory is $HOME/.steam, rename it to $HOME/.steam-backup and re-run steam. It should then write good files into a new $HOME/.steam
[11:55] <MonkeyDust> noelia  picked this up in this channel ... save this as a simple text file, make executable and run it ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/13344428/
[11:55] <noelia> Thank you very much
[11:55] <zolder> ok
[11:56] <zolder> do i have to rename it by terminal ? or can i do it in a filemanager>
[11:57] <zolder> \still the same error
[11:57] <zolder> i renamed the folder
[11:58] <zolder> something to do with unmet dependecies or something..
[11:59] <TJ-> zolder: OK, in which case put the renamed directory back to normal. You'll need to check with steam support. How did you install it?
[11:59] <zolder> through software manager
[12:00] <zolder> i will download installer from website and try that
[12:00] <zolder> Because in  the software manager it say BUY too... wich is weird
[12:00] <TJ-> zolder: it looks like because of the mess that is the steam client config scripts, it doesn't correctly declare all its dependencies in the package.
[12:01] <zolder> i removed it now, and download from steam website
[12:01] <ocean> zolder: are the ia32 libs installed? apt-cache policy libc6:i386
[12:02] <zolder> no he wanted to install that
[12:02] <zolder> but did not let me pass through
[12:02] <abdel_>  Hello guys, please I have installed ubuntu 15.04 but i cannot see my wireless connection...I just have wired connection please help
[12:02] <zolder> cause depencies
[12:02] <ocean> (which provides the ia32 libc6)
[12:02] <noelia> MonkeyDust I still get the same error, after running the script you told me. I'm afraid I'm going to have to reinstall Ubuntu
[12:02] <zolder> i have installed libc6
[12:02] <peter1858> .
[12:02] <zolder> should i restart after that?
[12:02] <MonkeyDust> noelia  that's sad to hear/read
[12:02] <TJ-> zolder: is it a 64-bit system?
[12:02] <zolder> yes sir
[12:02] <ocean> zolder: but, the ia32
[12:02] <ocean> zolder: are the ia32 libs installed? apt-cache policy libc6:i386
[12:02] <TJ-> zolder:  is i386 enabled as a foreign architecture?
[12:03] <zolder> how can i know
[12:03] <MonkeyDust> noelia  backup your personal documents
[12:03] <TJ-> zolder: "dpkg --print-foreign-architectures"
[12:03] <MannyLNJ> How do I make ubuntu run a command before login. I have to disable the internal keyboard due to a stuck key. I am using an external keyboard
[12:03] <ocean> zolder: told you apt-cache policy libc6:i386
[12:03] <zolder> it says i386
[12:03] <abdel_> Also my ports are not working, please can somebody help me
[12:04] <TJ-> zolder: OK, so that will allow installation of the :i386 packages correctly.
[12:04] <noelia> It says some of the needed packages haven't been created yet or have been taken from "Incoming"
[12:04] <zolder> ia32 libs and whats that ?
[12:04] <TJ-> zolder: "apt-get -f install" to correct dependencies, deal with any issues that reports, then retry the steam install
[12:05] <TJ-> zolder: which ubuntu release is it, 15.10?
[12:05] <zolder> how can i output apt-cache policy libc6:i386 in  apastebin ?
[12:05] <zolder> do i need dropbox?
[12:06] <zolder> no its 14.04.3
[12:06] <TJ-> zolder: "pastebinit <( apt-cache policy libc6:i386)"
[12:06] <Guest35375> quit
[12:06] <zolder> command not found
[12:07] <zolder> oh interpunctions nevermind
[12:07] <TJ-> zolder: you may need to do "apt-get install pastebinit" which may not work if the packages are in a mess, so instead do "apt-cache policy libc6:i386 | nc termbin.com 9999"
[12:07] <zolder> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13344556/
[12:07] <zolder> finally
[12:07] <zolder> :D
[12:08] <TJ-> zolder: so I'd recommend the "apt-get -f install" to clear any package problems, then you can correctly install steam
[12:08] <zolder> hmm ? what you mean
[12:08] <zolder> what package i need to isntall ?
[12:09] <peter1858> Does anyone know how to get onto #gamedev?
[12:09] <peter1858> I'm interested in starting a game project (or finding out if there's something similar going). I'd like to see if I can get people together a bit at a time and try and grow support. Is that a good place to chat?
[12:09] <MonkeyDust> peter1858  if it's on freenode, type /j #gamedev
[12:10] <zolder> apt-get -f install  < just a command to typ to clear packages that the full command ?
[12:10] <MonkeyDust> peter1858  try #ubuntu-app-devel, first, guess they can help better
[12:12] <zolder> sudo apt-get install libc6* it says you have broken packages
[12:13] <zolder> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13344607/
[12:14] <zolder> sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri-lts-vivid:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-vivid:i386
[12:16] <zolder> its starting up now
[12:16] <zolder> thanks.
[12:17] <zolder> i think they put a wrong command line somewhere in the steam installer
[12:17] <zolder> wich install those packages for the newer versions of ubuntu
[12:18] <zolder> i hope they will fix it :)
[12:18] <peter1858> Thanks <MonkeyDust>
[12:20] <peter1858> When I try to chat on #gamedev I get message #gamedev :Cannot send to channel
[12:20] <peter1858> Also channel topic says: You must be identified to speak.
[12:21] <MonkeyDust> peter1858  maybe you have to !register, first, to avoid spam

[13:00] <canh> ?
[13:03] <herrkin_> hello, comunity.
[13:04] <herrkin_> I need a little help setting up (again) my swap partition.
[13:04] <herrkin_> can anyone help me on that? TJ-, EriC^^ ?
[13:04] <EriC^^> herrkin_: yeah
[13:05] <EriC^^> do you want to use the encrypted swap?
[13:05] <solsTiCe> hi; did anyone notice a little slower boot with 15.10 ? I think I lost at least 5 seconds. and I booot from SSD.
[13:05] <herrkin_> it seems everytime ubuntu update the base it fails
[13:05] <herrkin_> yes
[13:05] <TJ-> herrkin_: could be there's no 'offset' parameter in /etc/crypttab's cryptswap entry
[13:06] <rk443> hello
[13:06] <herrkin> how can I see that?
[13:07] <herrkin> without the swap it seems that the machine is 1/3 of its power. it freezes all the time. TJ-, EriC^^
[13:08] <maui> hi guys, I'm trying to understand how to make a multiple bootable OS live usb pendrive only with bash commands. I know there are many softwares allowing you to do that, but I prefer to do it myself. For making a bootable pendrive with linux (any distro), one usually uses command "dd" etc. Is there a similar procedure? I searched it up for the past days but all I could find was "use this software, or this other one". Thanks in advance for whoever is going to help!
[13:09] <Yasuni> Hi Guys, i have a problem but can't figure it out.. i have a ubuntu server 14.04.3 on a vmware ESXI host, but for some reason the network stops working after a while. if i restart the network cards its fine for a few minuts but the its back. I have treid different Nic' s E1000 and VMXNET3 but no change. where do i need to start to troubleshoot this?
[13:09] <EriC^^> herrkin: type cat /etc/crypttab | nc termbin.co 9999
[13:09] <EriC^^> herrkin: type cat /etc/crypttab | nc termbin.com 9999
[13:09] <herrkin> http://termbin.com/ac4d
[13:10] <EriC^^> TJ-: ^
[13:11] <Yasuni> I already looked at /var/log/syslog but no errors there, i have also installed vmware tools but that didn't make a difference, i have searched all over but can't find anything resemble my situation
[13:13] <TJ-> herrkin: as I thought. the entry is mssing the offset= parameter, which means the entire device is getting clobbered each time it is created at boot
[13:14] <akik> maui: syslinux is probably where you want to start from
[13:14] <herrkin> alright. that seems so. what does offset do? its like a timeout parameter?
[13:14] <maui> akik: Could you be more specific? thanks for answering
[13:16] <akik> maui: i'm not sure if you want to code the boot manager yourself, but read up on syslinux
[13:17] <MonkeyDust> maui  in a terminal, type   man syslinux
[13:17] <akik> maui: also, isolinux
[13:18] <maui> MonkeyDust, akik: so you're suggesting me to study syslinux and isolinux? I thought it would have been more a question of bootstrap and debootstrap
[13:18] <bubbles> command to force to make new thumbnails?
[13:20] <bubbles> got it, pressed f5
[13:20] <bubbles> thanks
[13:20] <bubbles> buh bye
[13:20] <akik> maui: yes
[13:20] <MonkeyDust> bubbles  glad i could help
[13:21] <maui> akik, yes what? study sys and iso? what about boot and deboot? thanks for answering though :)
[13:21] <herrkin> what should I do TJ- ?
[13:22] <TJ-> herrkin: no, it tells cryptsetup to start the encrypted block 'offset' sectors (512-byte blocks) into the raw device. That has the effect of avoiding over-writing an original swap partition metadata which has a UUID embedded. Then, the cryptstab should define the device by UUID=XXXX not by /dev/sda8
[13:22] <Yasuni> maui: try to read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization i used this and made my very own live-usb with custom programs pre installed ( and remove de GUI )
[13:22] <akik> maui: the answer yes was for your question about studying syslinux and isolinux. debootstrap is used to install ubuntu into a directory. i'm not sure if it even touches the boot loader settings per se
[13:23] <herrkin> yes TJ- you or EriC^^ told me to use /dev/sda8 instead of uuid because the swap didnt want to work
[13:23] <maui> Yasuni, thanks for answering but this is not what I'm asking: I don't care how they will "live boot". All I want is to put different .isos from different OS's all on the same bootable pendrive :)
[13:23] <TJ-> herrkin: right, because you need to use 'offset='
[13:23] <maui> akik, ok...
[13:23] <Yasuni> Aaahh sorry mis understood.
[13:26] <ioria> maui, you mean YUMI ?
[13:26] <MonkeyDust> ioria  he wants to do it from vli
[13:26] <MonkeyDust> cli*
[13:26] <ioria> oh...
[13:26] <akik> maui: and if my memory serves me well, you could create the multiboot usb stick also with grub
[13:28] <maui> ioria, no, I said I've seen these softwares that are capable of doing such things, but I'd prefer to do it manually from a terminal and I'm trying to learn how, since no search engine helps on this topic...
[13:28] <ioria> maui, i see
[13:28] <maui> akik, now we're talking :) could you please tell me more about it?
[13:28] <maui> ioria, thanks anyway
[13:29] <akik> maui: a quick google search came back with https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multiboot_USB_drive
[13:30] <pulkit_> i have to make small changes to grub
[13:30] <maui> ioria, plus yumi only works with linux distros, what if I wanted to create a live OS X, Windows and Linux bootable pendrive? :)
[13:30] <pulkit_> and i see two files..grub and grub.ucf-dist
[13:31] <ioria> maui, yeah ... interesting challenge
[13:31] <MonkeyDust> ambitious plan
[13:31] <maui> akik, yeah I had seen that already but it's apparently really buggy and it does not really allow me to do what I would like to, thanks for posting it anyway :)
[13:31] <maui> ioria, yeah right?
[13:32] <ioria> maui, sure
[13:33] <herrkin> then what could I do about it TJ- ?
[13:33] <ioria> maui, i'm just reading this ... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2276498
[13:33] <pulkit_> i want to make changes to grub. But I see two files -> grub and grub.ucf-dist.  Grub file is almost empty whereas grub.ucf-dist has the relevant information. I tried changing the timeout and then did sudo update-grub but there were no changes to the grub.cfg.
[13:34] <IsntFunny> Hey everyone. I am running a Pi with ubuntu but i cannot get the serial working, could someone help me?
[13:34] <cfhowlett> IsntFunny, go to pi channel for that
[13:35] <maui> ioria, i'm reading this instead http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/297124-guide-creating-a-multi-os-multiboot-usb-install-drive-osxwindowslinux/
[13:36] <IsntFunny> cfhowlett: thanks :)
[13:36] <cfhowlett> best of luck!
[13:36] <ioria> maui, it uses Yumi....
[13:36] <maui> ioria, -.-
[13:36] <MonkeyDust> and yumi is a gui
[13:37] <IsntFunny> I hope the pi channel isn't too dead tbh :D
[13:38] <maui> ioria, MonkeyDust, yeah sorry, I wasn't reading quick enough...
[13:39] <ioria> maui, it'ok ... keep searching :þ
[13:41] <MonkeyDust> maui  the #bash channel may be useful too
[13:43] <maui> MonkeyDust, I'm there since half an hour, that's where they suggested me bootstrap and debootstrap...
[13:43] <maui> ioria, look what I found http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2259682&p=13302278#post13302278
[13:47] <ioria> maui, yep .. need a deep reading , but a good start
[13:53] <herrkin> TJ-, sorry to bother you, I will be arround waiting for your help. its very important that I deal with this so I can really use this machine.

[14:01] <tsoutseki> Is there someway to use my camera as a webcam?
[14:02] <cfhowlett> tsoutseki, you mean stream your camera to the internet?
[14:02] <tsoutseki> cfhowlett, yes
[14:03] <llutz> zingz0r: yes
[14:03] <cfhowlett> tsoutseki, here's one way:  http://www.area536.com/projects/streaming-video/
[14:03] <dw1> sometimes save file dialog takes ages to pop up. hmm
[14:03] <dw1> there's not too many files in the folder...
[14:03] <dw1> this just started.
[14:04] <dw1> i may have reinstalled dropbox-nautilus
[14:04] <dw1> hrm
[14:04] <dw1> but that wouldnt affect gedit save
[14:05] <dw1> i also notice similar delays when opening certain Preferences panels etc
[14:05] <dw1> must be some slow disk/dir
[14:05] <tsoutseki> cfhowlett, that's not what I was looking for. My camera is not a webcam, it is a simple sony camera that I can connect with my computer through USB and move files.
[14:05] <tsoutseki> cfhowlett, I want it someway identified as a webcamera
[14:06] <cfhowlett> tsoutseki, that is a different question ... wait 1
[14:08] <rofltech> jophish: check your grub and make sure the root partition is right.  also make sure it's using the right initramfs
[14:09] <rofltech> er nvm i apparently was scrolled up like 3 days...that's nice
[14:10] <dw1> i think it was because i had bookmarked two old sshfs folders that couldn't connect :]

[14:11] <neure> hi
[14:11] <neure> how do i see what speed my network card is working at?
[14:11] <dw1> bmon or vnstat are good progs
[14:12] <neure> i suspect it may be running at 10M mode :(
[14:12] <dw1> oh
[14:12] <llutz> neure: ethtool
[14:12] <neure> ...lots of stuff on -h ...
[14:13] <zingz0r> llutz: ty
[14:13] <llutz> neure: sudo ethtool ethX
[14:13] <dw1> mine gives one line.. "Link detected: yes" for my wlan0
[14:13] <dw1> lots more for eth0
[14:13] <neure> Speed: 1000Mb/s
[14:13] <neure> does that look good?
[14:13] <dw1> uh yeah
[14:14] <dw1> Gbit
[14:14] <neure> then why xosview show NET that never exceeds 10.0M?
[14:14] <dw1> did you install vnstat
[14:14] <dw1> it has some limiter i think
[14:14] <dw1> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[14:14] <neure> i did
[14:14] <dw1> ah ha
[14:14] <neure> vnstat just says Not enough data available yet.
[14:14] <dw1> in the config files it limits the iface to 10M
[14:14] <dw1> by default
[14:15] <neure> ... why?
[14:15] <dw1> idk
[14:15] <neure> you mean config files for xosview?
[14:15] <dw1> no for vnstat
[14:15] <dw1> it's new to me too i just noticed it when i installed it on new server
[14:15] <dw1> had to adjust
[14:15] <neure> where is the config file?
[14:16] <dw1> /etc/vnstat.conf
[14:16] <dw1> and there's some interface-specific ones maybe somewhere....
[14:17] <neure> MaxBandwidth 100
[14:17] <neure> that is Mbit
[14:17] <dw1> when i installed it the package installer said stuff like "setting iface ___ to 10.."
[14:18] <dw1> i forget where to edit it
[14:18] <neure> dw1, it did not say anything like that to me
[14:18] <neure> not to console at least
[14:20] <dw1> you could run https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli to see if you get more than 1.25MB/s

[14:35] <ShrewdSpirit> Hello. I have Ubuntu 14.04 and installed AMD fglrx drivers through "Additional Drivers" menu in settings and after next boot, I only get this: http://pastebin.com/5u4GJ2cG also when I open a TTY, it goes back to that message after a while
[14:36] <llutz> toppycat654: does the mailserver run at all? sudo lsof -i :25
[14:39] <ShrewdSpirit> 1800 people in channel and no help? :(
[14:40] <samthewildone> ShrewdSpirit, get used to it.
[14:40] <ShrewdSpirit> This is bad. I'm in another channel with 50 people in it and I get instant help :p
[14:41] <samthewildone> ShrewdSpirit, perfect example, chop off your arm in the middle of NYC and scream. No one will bat a eye.
[14:41] <samthewildone> ShrewdSpirit, what seems to be the problem ?
[14:41] <ShrewdSpirit> samthewildone: Haha!
[14:41] <samthewildone> ShrewdSpirit, well spit it out.
[14:41] <ShrewdSpirit> Well, my laptop doesnt boot after fglrx driver installation
[14:41] <samthewildone> ShrewdSpirit, gnome installation of ubuntu I supposed.
[14:42] <ShrewdSpirit> Using additional drivers in settings. I have gnome and Ubuntu 14.04
[14:42] <ShrewdSpirit> Yeah
[14:42] <samthewildone> ShrewdSpirit, your going to have to remove that fglrx drivers bud.
[14:42] <samthewildone> ShrewdSpirit, I had the same problem.
[14:42] <ShrewdSpirit> samthewildone: I could never get those drivers work in any distro :(
[14:42] <samthewildone> ShrewdSpirit, right now the drivers are doing the same exact thing with this installation of Ubuntu Gnome 15.10
[14:43] <samthewildone> ShrewdSpirit, same here. I'm going to switch to nvidia because amd has always some politics when it comes to open drivers.
[14:43] <samthewildone> ShrewdSpirit, Are you able to boot up into your laptop ?
[14:44] <ShrewdSpirit> samthewildone: That's bad. I think I should continue using Intel HD. Unfortunately I cannot change to nvidia
[14:44] <ShrewdSpirit> samthewildone: Yeah, I can open a TTY but it instantly returns to the error message
[14:44] <ShrewdSpirit> samthewildone: This message http://pastebin.com/5u4GJ2cG
[14:48] <samthewildone> ShrewdSpirit, hm
[14:49] <ShrewdSpirit> samthewildone: I just removed the drivers, now it boots fine :D
[14:49] <samthewildone> ShrewdSpirit, here's what I did, I went into recovery mode and enabled both networking & root access to do a "$apt-get purge flgrx*"
[14:49] <samthewildone> ShrewdSpirit, ah... well
[14:50] <ShrewdSpirit> samthewildone: It was hard though :p I had to type fast because of that annoying message
[14:50] <samthewildone> haha
[14:50] <samthewildone> mine would had just hanged.
[14:51] <ShrewdSpirit> :o
[14:51] <samthewildone> ShrewdSpirit, I installed both 14.04.3 -> 15.10 fresh and still had the same driver issue.
[14:51] <someonespecial> hi
[14:51] <samthewildone> currently using open drivers and grumbling.
[14:52] <someonespecial> abra0: Hi
[14:52] <abra0> oh
[14:52] <abra0> someonespecial: hi
[14:52] <ShrewdSpirit> samthewildone: Intel HD works fine but it's not as powerful as AMD
[14:52] <samthewildone> ShrewdSpirit, what laptop we using ?
[14:53] <samthewildone> ShrewdSpirit, on my t430s hd4x works good.
[14:53] <ShrewdSpirit> samthewildone: Acer Aspire E1-572G
[14:53] <samthewildone> ShrewdSpirit, though, its a laptop for working not a power plant.
[14:53] <ShrewdSpirit> Haha, right :D
[14:59] <ShrewdSpirit> samthewildone: Thank you for the help C:
[14:59] <wzx> hello
[14:59] <samthewildone> ShrewdSpirit, well I tried to help.
[14:59] <samthewildone> ShrewdSpirit, :)
[14:59] <samthewildone> wzx, sup
[14:59] <ShrewdSpirit> samthewildone: You told to uninstall and I did :p
[15:00] <Yasuni> Hi Guys, i have a problem but can't figure it out.. i have a ubuntu server 14.04.3 on a vmware ESXI host, but for some reason the network stops working after a while. if i restart the network cards its fine for a few minuts but the its back. I have treid different Nic' s E1000 and VMXNET3 but no change.  if i use a arp -a command or a tcpdump i regain network connectoin but after a few minuts its gone again.
[15:00] <Yasuni> i also moved the VM to a other ESXI host but that also had no effect. Can anybody please help me out i am fighting this 1,5 day already
[15:01] <samthewildone> haha
[15:01] <hateball> Yasuni: and you have openvm-tools installed?
[15:02] <hateball> that's open-vm-tools
[15:02] <Yasuni> Yes but no change, also treid to use vm-tools from the iso also no change
[15:02] <hateball> vmware tools are deprecated
[15:02] <hateball> Yasuni: what esxi version? there is also #vmware that might know
[15:03] <Yasuni> Hateball: EXSI 5.5
[15:04] <hateball> Yasuni: Alright. Dunno what to say then. Been working fine for me on 5.0, 5.1, 6.0. Never did 5.5. Also worked fine regardless of vmware tools or open-vm
[15:05] <GeHa> ddrescue on partition: source windows gives it a letter, does not know the space ammount, chkdsk says it is ntfs,but some next version information about the volume are not accessible by chkdsk and aborts. ddrescue --force /dev/sdd4 /dev/sde3 is finished 100% with 204kb error, but the destination partition is unknown for windows,this copied one does not get letter in windows. Any more ideas ?
[15:05] <Yasuni> my other linux geusts are ubuntu 12.04 servers and never had any issue, but i want to use 14.04 because i want to upgrade ever ubuntu VM
[15:06] <MonkeyDust> Yasuni  if you work with VM's alot, consider using Vagrant <-- uses vbox
[15:08] <wzx> quit .my book power is low
[15:10] <jgcampbell300> can anyone help me connect to a serial console ... 9600 Bits per second, 8 Data bits, None for Parity, 1 Stop bits and None for Flow control ... I dont know how to do it with linux
[15:11] <Yasuni> MonkeyDust: Thank you for the tip! looks very nice i will take a look at that when this server is up and running.
[15:14] <lucas-arg> where can i find NEW software for ubuntu?
[15:15] <tcak> Have you tried Software Centre?
[15:15] <lucas-arg> yeah but theres old software in there... in the repos i mean... no new software at all
[15:17] <MonkeyDust> lucas-arg  for anything oytside the repos, you need a ppa or a .deb or so, but that's not supported here
[15:17] <tcak> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu Search here for PPAs by entering the name of a software. Add the PPA to source list of your Ubuntu. Update. Then you will be able to install much recent ones.

[15:26] <Liza> hello
[15:30] <tcak> Hello Liza
[15:36] <transhuman> anyone able to recommend a virus/malware/rootkit scanner for ubuntu on a virtualized system on esx?
[15:41] <MonkeyDust> transhuman  rkhunter, clamav
[15:42] <transhuman> do you know is there one for vmware esxi by chance MonkeyDust?
[15:42] <transhuman> thats open source and free
[15:42] <transhuman> I will use those for my ubuntu vm's thanks
[15:45] <Grimblee> clamav is free
[15:45] <Grimblee> I think
[15:46] <Grimblee> from website: ClamAV® is the open source standard for mail gateway scanning software.
[15:47] <Grimblee> Doesn't do only mails
[15:48] <xebra> hi, it happened two times. I open a specific website and the hard disk goes "tic tac tic" with a periodic rhythm, for 1 minute or 2. Computer slows down. What could it be? HDD problems?
[15:48] <Grimblee> maybe, try to check smart
[15:49] <MonkeyDust> xebra  i'm familiar with tac tic tac, but not tic tac tic
[15:49] <Grimblee> with smartctl
[15:50] <xebra> MonkeyDust, actually it might be more like "tac tic tic tac", lol. But it's weird. Only one website. Probably issues with files/sectors related to browser cache of that specific website.
[15:51] <xebra> Grimblee, I heard about smart, I guess I'll have to look into it before it's too late
[15:51] <alias__> anyone familiar with canonical landscape?
[15:51] <Grimblee> something like smartctl -H /dev/sda should show you infotmations on your drive
[15:52] <Grimblee> informations*
[15:52] <Grimblee> no -H does a check
[15:52] <Grimblee> -i for informations
[15:53] <Grimblee> Personnaly I prefer to use constructor's utility to scan hard drives, a good package of those is Hiren's Boot CD
[15:53] <Grimblee> you got seagate, WD and other hardrives scanners
[15:53] <Grimblee> and HDAT that can check any hdd
[15:54] <Grimblee> those will tell you if you've got bad sectors
[15:54] <Grimblee> and may try to repair them
[15:55] <transhuman> Grimblee, never mind my question was a follow up question about ESXi ...no place here
[15:56] <Grimblee> transhuman, ok ^^ did you try KVM/libvirt instead of ESXi ? those are free and open source :D
[15:57] <transhuman> I know, I have been using Xen, KVM, Hyper-v, ESXi, VMware Workstation, fusion and others depending on what I am doing. For this VMware is better
[15:58] <Guest3355> as
[16:00] <transhuman> what I was asking for was an antivirus scanner for ESXi. No problem I will ask where its appropriate
[16:01] <daftykins> transhuman: good idea
[16:02] <ZeD-> hi, how do i configure the interval of how often 'apt-get update' runs ? or does it run every time i install a package
[16:03] <ganymede_> ZeD-: From the GUI you can load the ‘Software’ app and look in, I think the second tab.
[16:03] <pjz> ZeD-: it doesn't run by itself, something must invoke it
[16:03] <Seveas> ZeD-: it only runs when you run it :)
[16:04] <pjz> ZeD-: update-manager or the like would be my strong suspicion; check their settings
[16:04] <daftykins> yes it does - it runs when you use auto update, or to update the updates available in the MOTD on login
[16:04] <daftykins> (SSH login)
[16:05] <ZeD-> trying to avoid gui, trying to get this templated in saltstack, so wondering where the config file is (if any) i thought this could be a cron thing
[16:05] <black_ant> Hi guys - I am running Ubuntu 15.10 in Virtualbox - I am not able to get the screen in fullscreen mode - anyone knows a workaround this?!
[16:06] <pjz> daftykins: that's called 'unattended-upgrades', and is a similarly-named package.  It's not part of apt-get itself.
[16:06] <ZeD-> black_ant: did you install the virtuabox additional tools ?
[16:06] <daftykins> pjz: it's not me asking
[16:06] <daftykins> plus the net result is the same surely, package lists need updating to know there are updates?
[16:06] <black_ant> ZeD-: Yes I did with no joy.
[16:06] <Pici> ZeD-: see  /etc/cron.daily/apt
[16:07] <mekhami> how do i set DNS settings in 15.10
[16:07] <mekhami> i can't handle this anymore

[16:08] <sallu> i am in trouble
[16:08] <auronandace> !resolvconf | mekhami
[16:08] <sallu> help me
[16:08] <sallu> sorry my friend is in trouble
[16:08] <MonkeyDust> sallu  let's hear it, in one line
[16:08] <daftykins> sallu: we prefer to help directly, not through an intermediary
[16:08] <mekhami> auronandace: i have everything set in resolvconf and it doesn't work
[16:08] <sallu> he wants to double boot with ubuntu and windows
[16:08] <MonkeyDust> sallu  then ask him to come to the screen
[16:09] <sallu> MonkeyDust, he has windows 10 already installed in uefi native enabled but how to install ubuntu along side
[16:09] <onto> Hi! I just upgraded to 14.04 and I want to install libsdl1.2-dev; however I am getting these errors: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/a56fe9c536dcb1587fc2
[16:09] <MonkeyDust> sallu  great, but we can only help when he's typing here
[16:09] <sallu> MonkeyDust, he is watching you now... reading all your messages, i am more technical than him
[16:09] <sallu> MonkeyDust, you here to help ? right
[16:09] <mekhami> also what's the command to restart network manager in 15.10?
[16:10] <daftykins> sallu: to the people direct, not via someone else - ideally. however, resize the windows drive from windows with diskmgmt.msc to make some space
[16:10] <pjz> mekhami: service networking restart maybe ?
[16:10] <sallu> daftykins, sorry i am also want the same thing. we both have hp probook 450 g2
[16:11] <daftykins> sallu: see above then
[16:11] <sallu> daftykins, i really really want to do it quickly.. i have experience with legacy mode . i have done it a lot but not in uefi
[16:12] <daftykins> sallu: no, rushing is how mistakes are made - come back when you're willing to work on it sensibly.
[16:12] <onto> Trying to install the dependencies manually results in broken packages (and similar message).
[16:12] <sallu> daftykins, i am searching searching a lot
[16:13] <sallu> daftykins, i am a serious person.. and ready to be sensible with technical issues
[16:13] <daftykins> sallu: so are you going to do what i already said?
[16:14] <sybariten> hello! quick question. Is it possoble to say, for a v14 of ubuntu, which version of openconnect i am supposed to reach through apt-get ?
[16:14] <sybariten> i got v5 myself but i would maybe need to run v6
[16:14] <pjz> sybariten: apt-cache show openconnect
[16:15] <JesusSavesMe> Hi i installed Xubuntu 14.04 LTS but i can't change brightness with Fn + brightness keys.. Only way i can change brightness is via command line using: sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness <<< 5
[16:15] <EriC^^> sybariten: apt-cache policy openconnect , too
[16:15] <sybariten> pjz: ok! thanks! v.5 it was, and v5 i have. So now where do i look for possibilities for an upgrade.. ?
[16:16] <mekhami> i need significant help with this DNS problem. is anyone around that's knowledgable?
[16:16] <sallu_>  daftykins, i don't want to shrink.. i have 80Gb space unallocated already on the same hardisk . i want to make 3 partitions
[16:16] <sybariten> EriC^^: dont really understand the policy output... what is a candidate in this case?
[16:16] <sallu_> daftykins,  1 for root, second for home and 3rd for swap
[16:16] <pjz> sybariten: have you done a pacakge-index update? 'apt-get update' ?
[16:16] <daftykins> sallu: do that from the ubuntu installer. boot a flash drive with ubuntu on, in EFI mode.
[16:16] <daftykins> sallu_: why are there two of you?
[16:16] <adrian_1908> hello. I think I may have the following bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1237904) which the follow package (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/2:1.17.2-1ubuntu9.1) is supposed to fix. However apt is unable to locate package `xorg-server`. I used the guide at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed to enable and "pin" wily-proposed updates.
[16:17] <sallu_> daftykins, ok
[16:17] <EriC^^> sybariten: it's the one that will get installed if you use apt-get install
[16:17] <sybariten> EriC^^: alrite
[16:17] <sybariten> pjz: i believe so, but let me try
[16:17] <sallu_> daftykins, HP laptops have "customized boot" option for installing along OS which is already in uefi
[16:17] <sallu_> daftykins, do you know efi path for ubuntu
[16:17] <sallu_> daftykins, i am ready to listen you now
[16:18] <daftykins> sallu_: no, don't use an EFI console... just boot it properly via a boot menu.
[16:18] <lea02> Hello, I'm facing a problem with my partitions. When checking the systeme file (from system monitor) I have a difference between the total size of my disk and the available size of my disk. I indeed made a free space when installing for a further Windows installation. However I can't see that partition, why ?
[16:18] <adrian_1908> p.s. `sudo apt-get install xorg-server/wily-proposed` is what I used, preceded by an apt-get update.
[16:18] <sallu_> daftykins, you mean boot it in as casual ?
[16:18] <daftykins> sallu_: that phrasing makes zero sense to me :)
[16:19] <sybariten> pjz: i did the update now, it is still v5 when i check the policy
[16:19] <pjz> sybariten: you might also want to enable backports and see if any upgrades are available there.  Finally you can see if you can find a ppa that's more up to date and add that as a package source
[16:19] <sallu_> daftykins,  what to do?
[16:19] <pjz> sybariten: what version are you looking for?
[16:20] <daftykins> sallu_: boot the flash drive...
[16:20] <daftykins> !efi | sallu_
[16:20] <sybariten> pjz: version 6
[16:20] <sallu_> daftykins, i already made bootable usb of ubuntu via universal usb installer tool, what you want me to do
[16:20] <sallu_> daftykins, boot the drive in efi ..ok
[16:20] <lea02> I am wondering, why when making a "df -h --total" it doesn't show the entire size of my disk. Even after checking with an usb stick and gparted, I didn't find out the "free partition". I hope I can get help here.
[16:20] <sybariten> pjz or 6.00218 if i wanna try and mimick the work machines exactly....
[16:20] <sallu_> daftykins, already selected uefi native option
[16:21] <daftykins> sallu_: just have a read of the above link please, no need to repeat :)
[16:21] <pjz> sybariten: oh, not 7.06?
[16:22] <sallu_> daftykins, ok
[16:22] <pjz> sybariten: There's a PPA that does daily builds: https://launchpad.net/~openconnect/+archive/ubuntu/daily
[16:22] <sybariten> pjz: well.... at work they have v6, which isnt exactly the latest as i understand. Im thinking it would be optimal to get that, to eliminate certain errors
[16:22] <pjz> sybariten: it has 7.06
[16:23] <sybariten> pjz: ok i can try v7 .... how do i start? I want to add sometning to a repo conf?
[16:23] <sallu_> daftykins,
[16:24] <sallu_> daftykins, i have 3 options here , boot mode >> legacy, uefi hybrid (with csm), uefi native ( without csm )
[16:24] <sallu_> daftykins, ???
[16:25] <pjz> sybariten: go to that page and read the link under 'read about installing'
[16:25] <daftykins> sallu_: be patient. yes, you can leave it as it is - on the last option - this is likely explained on the link i gave you, so please, give it some attention
[16:27] <sallu_> daftykins, is there any need for mentioning boot path when we choose "Customized boot"
[16:27] <sallu_> daftykins, i thought you are an expert ?
[16:27] <daftykins> sallu_: choose that where... that's not part of ubuntu
[16:28] <sallu_> daftykins, ok than if you don't want to help then its ok
[16:28] <daftykins> sallu_: is there a particular reason you feel the need to try and insult? there's no point me repeating the information that's already provided in the link i gave.
[16:29] <sallu_> daftykins, i ask a simply query that you have any knowledge of " customized boot " option
[16:29] <sybariten> pjz: well thats logical  :)   anywho they present the information a bit dubiously ... there is both talk about the ppa adress and they also present it as a normal http adress
[16:30] <daftykins> sallu_: and i'm asking where you see that, since every systems EFI is different and i can't see  what you're doing...
[16:31] <sybariten> should i use this line "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openconnect/daily/ubuntu trusty main" with add-apt-reposityry, or by manually adding to a conf file? The add-apt-repository examples i see are with different adresses
[16:31] <onto> I am also getting an error: "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL" when trying to compile melt
[16:31] <sybariten> and without trusty main
[16:31] <sallu_> daftykins, oh ok, but Hp have some kind of rather irritated hard coded path for efi allocation
[16:32] <daftykins> sallu_: normally those don't have to be fought with just to get the flash drive booted, however windows related entries such as fast boot and secure boot may need disabling for an ubuntu flash drive to start... this is all covered in the EFI link i already shared :)
[16:34] <sallu_> daftykins, yeah i know
[16:34] <sallu_> daftykins,  check this link, i have this link for more than a month lolx.. its complete explaination of my issue http://fomori.org/blog/?p=892
[16:35] <daftykins> sallu_: getting it installed is the main task, resolving the boot aspects can be done later
[16:39] <sybariten> ok solved the ppa thing
[16:39] <sybariten> i didnt read too well
[16:40] <free29> Hello there
[16:45] <adrian_1908> Ok I'll give this another shot. I'm looking for help with an Xorg package. If you check the following link https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1237904 in post #24 there's an announcement from a week ago that a fixed xorg package would be made available in wily-proposed. I'm trying to install that package. I think it's called 'xserver-xorg' in binary form.
[16:54] <joey_> Greeting Ubuntu Community, I was wondering, is there a way to have Ubuntu 15.04 with the Ubuntu 10.10 look?
[16:54] <daftykins> get ubuntu MATE
[16:54] <joey_> My computer can't handle the new graphical look
[16:55] <MonkeyDust> joey_  try MATE
[16:55] <daftykins> or xubuntu, or lubuntu... which are both lighter weight
[16:55] <joey_> will it work even with a computer with about 128MB worth of graphic memory
[16:57] <MonkeyDust> !lubuntu | joey_
[16:57] <daftykins> joey_: yes.
[16:58] <daftykins> joey_: what is the rest of the spec? i.e. CPU and RAM?
[16:58] <joey_> hmm ok, but I love the way Ubuntu 10.10 runs and feels. I wish I could continue to get updates with that OS
[16:58] <joey_> because my computer is crap
[16:58] <daftykins> joey_: you should pick lubuntu or xubuntu 14.04 perhaps, for LTS goodness - no point chasing latest versions
[16:59] <UbuN2> hello guys ... and daftykins doo you ever rest your always helping out .
[16:59] <daftykins> :)
[16:59] <MonkeyDust> UbuN2  daftykins is only a bot, please don't think he's intelligent
[17:00] <UbuN2> he is a ne of a kind person rare to find helpers this good tbh .
[17:00] <UbuN2> one*
[17:01] <daftykins> you are too kind; but there are plenty of volunteers here far far better, i just dabble
[17:01] <daftykins> so any questions today, UbuN2 ?
[17:01] <UbuN2> just gonna observe and learn as usually thanks i will ask if im in a pickle lol
[17:02] <daftykins> ok :)
[17:02] <UbuN2> :))
[17:03] <joey_> It has a Dual Core 1.9Ghz AMD CPU, 2GB of RAM, I think 128MB of Video RAM
[17:03] <daftykins> joey_: mmm, it'd definitely benefit from lu or xubuntu then
[17:03] <joey_> it's the AMD Athion 64bit
[17:03] <RyanTG> If you're trying to play some games on older hardware with Ubuntu I've found installing Gnome-panel and Metacity works really well at speeding up rendering performance.
[17:03] <joey_> or yeah?
[17:03] <joey_> It ran Ubuntu 10.10 great
[17:04] <daftykins> sometimes there just comes a time when you have to throw these things out and pick up even a 250 GBP system which'll blow something like that away
[17:04] <joey_> I have a 120GB SSD in there as well
[17:05] <joey_> is there a way that I can install the theme from ubuntu 10.10 on the current Linux Mint 17.2 that I'm on?
[17:06] <joey_> is there a way that I can install the theme from ubuntu 10.10 on the current Linux Mint 17.2 that I'm on?
[17:08] <nicomachus> you got Mint 17 on that machine?
[17:08] <daftykins> joey_: we don't help with Mint in anyway, shape or form
[17:09] <joey_> oh yeah duh
[17:09] <daftykins> !mint | joey_
[17:09] <joey_> haha sorry
[17:09] <daftykins> that's their IRC network and channel ^
[17:10] <Guest63818> hi guys, when will ubuntu 16.04 freeze new packages?
[17:10] <daftykins> Guest63818: well it'll come out in April so... probably a ways off, questions in #ubuntu+1 of upcoming versions though please
[17:12] <edubunt> hello everyone, my system install is extremely slow. it got stuck where it says 'almost finished copying files...'. it is repeating the lines about pulseaudio, I guess it was something like 'cant find autospawn lock' (cant see it now as it is too slow to open the terminal view)..should I stop the install? would it damage the rest of the system, like other OS on drive or grub etc..?
[17:14] <daftykins> edubunt: damage? no, unlikely
[17:15] <adrian_1908> edubunt: It would only leave the areas you're installing over "damaged". But not unaffected OSes or partitions.
[17:15] <edubunt> I mean, whether grub gets messed up because install is interrupted
[17:15] <daftykins> you're so early on, just blitz it and start over?
[17:15] <daftykins> maybe md5 your download ISO / check your media is good
[17:16] <adrian_1908> did you reach the grub stage yet? isn't that usually the very latest step after all file copying is done?
[17:17] <edubunt> I didnt know the order. but if it's early and safe, I'd do it
[17:18] <bubbles> is abiword good? or can i remove it?
[17:18] <bubbles> it got installed automatically when i installed some desktop environment
[17:18] <edubunt> thank you for your help, gotta reboot now
[17:24] <bubbles> !test |bubbles
[17:24] <DrGrov> Running Linux Mint 17, but I do need some help to reset my dad's root password.
[17:24] <daftykins> !mint | DrGrov sorry we don't help with Mint, ask the Mint folks
[17:25] <DrGrov> Would really appreciate it if someone would like to help
[17:25] <DrGrov> daftykins: Thank you.
[17:26] <pjz> anyone have hints on how to get video working again in google-chrome on xubuntu 14.04 ? It broke on my last update.
[17:27] <daftykins> what kind of video?
[17:27] <pjz> daftykins: youtube
[17:27] <pjz> daftykins: HTML5 vids
[17:27] <pjz> they just show a static starting image
[17:27] <daftykins> test a clean profile first
[17:28] <bubbles> does only youtube not work?
[17:28] <pjz> no, afaict nothing works anymore
[17:29] <daftykins> could be graphics driver related, if you know your graphics hardware?
[17:29] <pjz> nvidia
[17:29] <pjz> hm, good point
[17:30] <pjz> I'm on 14.04 if that matters
[17:30] <bubbles> if you have any video on computer you can test if it plays by typing file:/// in address bar and then going to the video
[17:31] <lotus|xenial> pjz: you know your cards chipset?
[17:31] <pjz> bubbles: hm. that failed too.

[17:33] <oberststen> Hello I'm currently using ProFTPD Version 1.3.5rc3 on Ubuntu 14.04, everytime that I reboot, proftpd starts running, but at some point, randomly it stops, if i start it again, at some point it goes off again, anyone knows that could be causing this? The logs are empty
[17:34] <bubbles> and normally the video plays in the video player?
[17:34] <pjz> bubbles: vlc plays it fine
[17:34] <daftykins> pjz: test the guest session, so as to avoid your user's chrome profile.
[17:34] <joey_> Thanks for all your help! I'm gonna go try this Ubuntu 10.10 theme thing
[17:35] <bubbles> vlc is different thing altogether, it almost always plays anything
[17:35] <pjz> daftykins: I tried google-chrome --user-data-dir=/tmp/chrome-profile
[17:35] <bubbles> try the default video player
[17:35] <pjz> bubbles: oh, you mean the video player in chrome? or what?
[17:35] <bubbles> pjz, totem player
[17:36] <lunix> hola una pregunta como formateo una usb en xubunto 1.4
[17:36] <lotus|xenial> !es | lunix
[17:36] <daftykins> pjz: ok but give it a try anyway
[17:36] <daftykins> pjz: it'll rule out anything that could've gone wrong with your user account, too
[17:36] <lunix> hola una pregunta como formateo una usb en xubuntu
[17:36] <Guest27250> i have installed ubuntu on my computer a while ago now i want to install it on my usb drive, where is the "install ubuntu" located after i have finished installing on my computer
[17:37] <oberststen> lunix: Te están respondiendo que aquí SOLO SE HABLA EN INGLÉS, si quieres que te respondan en español ve al canal #ubuntu-es
[17:37] <lunix> hola una pregunta como formateo una usb en xubuntu
[17:37] <daftykins> Guest27250: there isn't one
[17:37] <pjz> bubbles: I don't have totem installed
[17:37] <Guest27250> daftykins, how can i install ubuntu on my usb drive in ubuntu?
[17:37] <ppalmieri> hi, im using 10.10 desktop, just upgraded and im using a pair of bluetooth headphones..  There used to be a duplex/stereo drop down seelctor in soudn settings and now its gone, which is what used to be the problem when i connected the headphones.. is there another way to make this connection use stereo?
[17:38] <SchrodingersScat> !10.10 | ppalmieri
[17:38] <daftykins> ppalmieri: you can't mean 10.10, it's been dead for years
[17:38] <bubbles> pjz, so lets assume only chrome is faulty
[17:38] <ppalmieri> sorry... 15.10
[17:38] <ppalmieri> stupid fingers
[17:38] <daftykins> Guest27250: not sure, maybe you can install ubiquity which is the installer
[17:38] <pjz> bubbles: well, but chromium isn't playing either
[17:38] <daftykins> !info ubiquity
[17:39] <Guest27250> lmfao thx
[17:39] <Guest27250> but it dont copy my already installed ubuntu on that drive right?
[17:39] <Guest27250> just want a clean version
[17:40] <bubbles> pjz, oh wait, did you press f12
[17:40] <daftykins> Guest27250: of course not
[17:40] <bubbles> pjz, the console in chrome might show what the error is
[17:40] <daftykins> Guest27250: fwiw i wouldn't recommend running from a flash drive at all; definitely don't create a swap partition
[17:40] <Guest27250> daftykins, i need it for traveling
[17:41] <Guest27250> daftykins, cant take my pc with me
[17:41] <daftykins> ok
[17:41] <bubbles> Guest27250, yo i have ubuntu on flash 3.0 device
[17:41] <vishap> hey ppl of ubuntu. i use other distributions, however right now i am trying to help someone to upgraie it's trusty.
[17:41] <daftykins> vishap: we prefer to deal directly, not go through other people - it makes life unnecessarily hard.
[17:42] <Guest27250> daftykins, i can make a swap partition on my 500gb hard drive
[17:42] <daftykins> Guest27250: which won't be there when you leave, so boot will fail
[17:42] <vishap> do-release-upgrade downloads vivid, not unicorn.
[17:42] <vishap> is it ok?
[17:42] <daftykins> vishap: utopic = 14.10 which is EOL, dead.
[17:42] <Guest27250> daftykins, so what is the best option to use linux on a usb drive?
[17:42] <drnapster> quick question. i have tested this in unity and mate across 4 computers and when i install an app i have to reboot before it will show up in the application list please tell me there is a fix
[17:42] <Guest27250> daftykins, tails is supported on a drive lol
[17:43] <daftykins> vishap: 14.04 doesn't go directly to 15.04, that'll likely fail - did you hand edit sources.list ?
[17:43] <daftykins> Guest27250: Sonic the Hedgehog's companion?
[17:43] <Guest27250> lol
[17:43] <vishap> no i just run do-release-upgrade.
[17:43] <bubbles> got to go, adios all
[17:44] <vishap> before i've tried release-manager -d but in failed.
[17:44] <vishap> window closes.
[17:44] <daftykins> Guest27250: just select manual partitioning in the installer, put no swap on the flash drive and be sure to select it as the device to put GRUB on
[17:44] <vishap> update-manager, sorry
[17:44] <daftykins> vishap: no, -d is to move to the latest development release, don't do that :)
[17:44] <daftykins> vishap: 14.04 is LTS, why does this person want to move to non-LTS?
[17:45] <vishap> hm, how to go to unicorn so that i can go to vivid later?
[17:45] <vishap> he wants vivid
[17:45] <Guest27250> daftykins, thanks for you help but does ubiquity install a clean version on my disk or is it installing my already installed ubuntu on that?
[17:45] <daftykins> !eolupgrade | vishap have a read here
[17:46] <daftykins> Guest27250: i already answered that.
[17:46] <Guest27250> you didnt
[17:46] <daftykins> i did
 Guest27250: of course not
[17:46] <Guest27250> of course not what?
[17:46] <SchrodingersScat> Guest27250: you could also make a virtualmachine that reads the livecd image, give it access to your USB device, let it install to usb.  and variations of that.
[17:46] <vishap> so i cannot go to vivid?
[17:46]  * daftykins facepalms
[17:46] <Guest27250> SchrodingersScat, pc to slow for that thx
[17:47] <daftykins> vishap: if your friend is on 14.04 right now, you must go to 14.10 via the eolupgrade link above, then to 15.04.
[17:47] <vishap> thank you.
[17:47] <daftykins> vishap: however leaving LTS i would not advise
[17:47] <pjz> Guest27250: daftykins said that in response to your question < Guest27250> but it dont copy my already installed ubuntu on that drive right?
[17:47] <adrian_1908> Guest27250: you pop in a CD and point the installer to your stick. Why would it involve your harddrive data?
[17:47] <paws> hello, I am trying to connect to ubuntu's ftp server (vsftp) and i am asked to enter my username and password, i do it and than it does not connect me... why is it doing this?
[17:48] <daftykins> adrian_1908: no this is installing ubiquity atop an install, to skip using media
[17:48] <Guest27250> pjz, thank you sir
[17:48] <Guest27250> daftykins, thanks for your help
[17:48] <drnapster> quick question. i have tested this in unity and mate across 4 computers and when i install an app i have to reboot before it will show up in the application list please tell me there is a fix
[17:48] <Guest27250> cya all
[17:48] <adrian_1908> daftykins: oh ok, I wasn't aware. my had.
[17:48] <daftykins> paws: the logs should say, maybe that user does not exist - you need to create some, it doesn't use system users already
[17:48] <daftykins> paws: sure SFTP/SCP wouldn't have been more useful?
[17:49] <paws> agh it has to be ftp
[17:49] <paws> let me check my logs brb
[17:50] <k1n12> hii
[17:51] <teemo> in bash how do I repeat a command until it suceeds?
[17:51] <k1n12> hola?
[17:51] <teemo> inb4 !list
[17:51] <daftykins> teemo: such as what?
[17:52] <teemo> e.g. curl, until the file becomes available remotely
[17:52] <teemo> that's not what I'm doing but that's a good example
[17:52] <daftykins> would you not just be patient :)
[17:52] <teemo> that's not what I'm doing but that's a good example
[17:52] <teemo> I do specifically need to do this
[17:53] <teemo> I need to go home and I can't have this command just be looping all night
[17:53] <teemo> But at some point in the next hour it will work
[17:53] <teemo> I need it to keep trying until it works, and then quit
[17:53] <teemo> or at least stop
[17:54] <teemo> until command; do echo "failed"; done
[17:54] <teemo> got it ^
[17:54] <teemo> thanks rubber ducks
[17:54] <drnapster> i have tested this in unity and mate across 4 computers and when i install an app i have to reboot before it will show up in the application list please tell me there is a fix

[17:58] <growlingflea> Hello all this is my first irc message
[18:05] <bindi> is there a realtime kernel for 15.10 in the official repos? or some semi-official ppa?
[18:05] <lotus|xenial> !mainline | bindi
[18:06] <bindi> there's no realtime there, lotus|xenial
[18:06] <bindi> I only see generic and lowlatency
[18:06] <BluesKaj> bindi, or even daily builds
[18:07] <moyan> exit
[18:13] <pjz> wow, okay, it must ahve been my ugprade of the nvidia drivers
[18:13] <pjz> which fscked everything
[18:13] <pjz> b/c video works after purging them
[18:13] <pjz> I'm guessing I'm on the vesa drivers now
[18:14] <lotus|xenial> pjz: if you have an nvidia card, you need an nvidia driver
[18:15] <pjz> oh, looks like I'm on the nouveau driver now
[18:15] <lotus|xenial> pjz: did you check your additional drivers list?
[18:15] <lotus|xenial> pjz: ah ok good, try a 1080p youtube to test
[18:19] <pjz> hm, can't fina a 1080p one, but eh 720p ones work
[18:19] <pjz> but it can't see my exteernal monitor
[18:19] <pjz> (i;m on a laptop)
[18:19] <pjz> I guess I get to reinstall the nvidia driver(s)
[18:19] <lotus|xenial> !xrandr | pjz
[18:20] <lotus|xenial> pjz: you have a hdmi external monitor or vga/dvi?
[18:21] <Guest51949> 1

[18:22] <RafasnbBR> someone uses the ubuntu 15:10 on 10 parallels for mac?
[18:24] <lotus|xenial> RafasnbBR: ask your issue with it to the channel, you never know who can solve it
[18:24] <adrian_1908> Can I remove the file Xauthority in /run/user/1000/ ?
[18:25] <RafasnbBR> lotus|xenial: I can not solve the problem of installing the parallels-tools ...
[18:28] <linuxboytoo> Hey everyone - I have a script I need to run once until it exits with a 0 exit code. I am been messing with upstart for a while and can't get the right combination. I want the service to run in the background and then keep respawning the script until it completes successfully. I don't want the service waiting to start to block execution
[18:32] <juniorRubyist> Hello
[18:32] <juniorRubyist> hi there
[18:33] <lotus|xenial> juniorRubyist: you joined an ubuntu support channel
[18:33] <juniorRubyist> I think Xubuntu is awesome.
[18:33] <oberststen> He just want friends
[18:34] <lotus|xenial> !discuss | juniorRubyist
[18:34] <juniorRubyist> Alright!
[18:37] <CptRageToaster> booting while holding left Shift dumps me into grub's boot menu... right?
[18:37] <CptRageToaster> 14.04
[18:37] <lotus|xenial> CptRageToaster: yes
[18:37] <CptRageToaster> tyvm
[18:38] <adrian_1908> might be ESC actually, try.
[18:41] <kingjere> A look at my logs shows someone trying to log into my server via ssh as root. Is my server more likely a target of opportunity or is it more likely a chosen target?
[18:43] <k1l_> kingjere: disable root login at first. login from a user and use sudo if needed. then install fail2ban. which will block ip adresses that try to often wrong passwords.
[18:43] <k1l_> kingjere: we cant know if you server was just a random number or a target from someone. we dont know how many enemies you got :)
[18:44] <renn0xtk9> all when I do locale I got LANG=en_DE.UTF-8
[18:44] <renn0xtk9> i want to change ti to en_US.UTF-9
[18:45] <renn0xtk9> 8 sorry, how shoudl i do
[18:45] <k1l_> renn0xtk9: are you german speaking?
[18:45] <k1l_> en_DE is a funny combination :)
[18:45] <akik> renn0xtk9: look into /etc/default/locale
[18:46] <renn0xtk9> k1l_ It was set in german indeed but I wan everything in US now . Indeed  I don't know where it comes from, I changed the language from German to english in the settings of KDE
[18:47] <kingjere> k1l_: root login is disabled. I am looking at fail2ban now.
[18:47] <akik> kubuntu is funny in a way. during install it asks about my keyboard but changes the locale according to those settings
[18:47] <renn0xtk9> akik  well there it stands en_US.UTF-8
[18:47] <k1l_> renn0xtk9: run "sudo locale-gen en_US" and "sudo locale-gen en_US-UTF8"  then run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales"
[18:50] <renn0xtk9> k1l_ all three done but still got this: http://pastebin.com/TLGrc8tK
[18:50] <k1l_> renn0xtk9: so it seems like LANG is set somewhere else
[18:50] <mekhami> how can i tell what clipboard manager i'm currently using
[18:51] <k1l_> sudo update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8
[18:52] <Apteryx> Dooes anyone know how to match my Apple Magic Mouse (bluetooth) inside a Xorg conf (using MatchProduct) or something along that?
[18:52] <VictoriaXOXO> Q: I just got a new USB stick. What do I format it as to be able to move files between my Ubuntu box and my Windows box?
[18:53] <Apteryx> VictoriaXOXO: Either NTFS (recommended if its > than 4GB) or good old FAT32
[18:53] <lotus|xenial> VictoriaXOXO: ntfs for files larger then 4gig
[18:54] <VictoriaXOXO> Apteryx: lotus|xenial: Okay, NTFS it is. Thanks. :)
[18:54] <renn0xtk9> it does not work :S
[18:54] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: nfts is fine
[18:55] <k1l_> its not the fastest solution on linux, but at least windows works best with it :)
[18:55] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: And using GParted to format it is fine?
[18:56] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: honestly i did not think that much about formating a usb so far, so i just used what came up first. but gparted is fine.
[18:57] <renn0xtk9> I try to restart the pc, see if that does it
[18:57] <jayjo> is there a way to copy all of the output from a GNU screen to a file?
[18:57] <lotus|xenial> VictoriaXOXO: gparted is pretty nice, formats devices even with problems
[18:58] <free29> jayyo
[18:58] <jayjo> I used hardcopy -h <filename> but it only copied the visible buffer
[18:58] <jayjo> I want to scroll the whole way up
[18:58] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: Uh. This stick is "new" as in "new for me" (from sister). GParted wants me to create a partition table(?) and gives me a list. What do I choose?
[18:58] <free29> has used screenhot app?
[18:58] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: some msdos thing will do.
[18:58] <lotus|xenial> free29: you search a screenshot app?
[18:58] <free29> have u tried screenshot app?
[18:58] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: msdos it is.
[18:58] <akik> jayjo: ctrl+a shift+h <- that creates a screenlog.0 in your home dir
[18:58] <kingjere> I guess that is what is refferred to as a script kiddie.
[18:59] <Mati89> VictoriaXOXO: vsync issues gone? :) i have fixed mine, yay
[18:59] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: here is a pictured how to with the "disks" utility http://askubuntu.com/questions/68809/how-to-format-a-usb-or-external-drive
[19:01] <VictoriaXOXO> Mati89: Yes, it's GONE! :D :D
[19:02] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: Thanks. Using GParted to format it as ntfs, it changed name from /dev/sdb to /dev/sdb1. Is that normal?
[19:02] <Mati89> VictoriaXOXO: good to hear, well done
[19:02] <renn0xtk9> so I have to declare ubuntu officially not able to change the LANG option .,,,
[19:02] <VictoriaXOXO> Mati89: :D
[19:03] <akik> jayjo: if you want to write the current copy buffer to file: ctrl+a : then hardcopy -h logfile
[19:03] <nicomachus> renn0xtk9: what do you mean?
[19:03] <akik> jayjo: it's hard to write this :) separately "ctrl+a" ":" "hardcopy -h logfile"
[19:04] <renn0xtk9> nicomachus well I have LANG=en_DE.UTF-8 impossible to change it to en_US.UTF-8
[19:05] <akik> renn0xtk9: did you look into your home dir if e.g. you have the locale variables defined in .bashrc ?
[19:05] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: Thanks. Using GParted to format it as ntfs, it changed name from /dev/sdb to /dev/sdb1. Is that normal?
[19:06] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: yes
[19:06] <JesusSavesMe> hi
[19:06] <renn0xtk9> yeah I did
[19:06] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: Perfect. Hey, k1l_. Can I ask you a question in pm? It should be quick and easy.
[19:06] <JesusSavesMe> GOD BLESS YOU!
[19:07] <k1l_> renn0xtk9: look into /etc/environment , .profile , .bashrc , .bash_profile
[19:07] <nicomachus> JesusSavesMe: do you have an ubuntu support question?
[19:07] <nicomachus> !pm | VictoriaXOXO
[19:08] <k1l_> locales is still a mess when it goes bad :X some day some one should fix that :)
[19:09] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: you can ask it in here
[19:10] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: It's private... Forget about it. :P
[19:10] <renn0xtk9> k1_l nothing in those
[19:11] <akik> renn0xtk9: create a new user and see what locale it gets
[19:13] <k1l_> renn0xtk9: sudo update-locale LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LANGUAGE="en_US" then sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
[19:15] <k1l_> renn0xtk9: look into /etc/default/locale and .pam_environment
[19:15] <daftykins> VictoriaXOXO: /dev/sdx = disk, sdx1 = partition 1
[19:15] <k1l_> did i say locales are a mess on linux? o_O
[19:15] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: So perfectly normal?
[19:16] <daftykins> VictoriaXOXO: you can't have a file system without a partition, yes.
[19:16] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Okay, great. I'll just leave it then.
[19:17] <renn0xtk9> new users locale is en_US.UTF-8 for everything
[19:18] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: daftykins: Two more questions. 1. Is it normal that 68,5 MB is used after a clean format? 2. How do I rename the USB stick after it gets mounted?
[19:18] <daftykins> yes with NTFS, that's the file system journal
[19:18] <daftykins> mount point name or volume name?
[19:19] <VictoriaXOXO> Uhm. The name that shows up on the desktop when mounting it. Is that the... volume name?
[19:19] <unlevin> ))
[19:19] <Mati89> right click -> rename? ;)
[19:19] <JesusSavesMe> Hi i want to install older linux kernel but it says: dependency not satisfiable
[19:20] <VictoriaXOXO> Rename... is grayed out.
[19:20] <akik> renn0xtk9: so you're closing in on the solution :)
[19:20] <daftykins> type "mount" in the terminal
[19:20] <Mati89> hm, if you unmount it first?
[19:20] <lotus|xenial> JesusSavesMe: what are you trying to do?
[19:20] <akik> renn0xtk9: try "grep -r -i lang $HOME" if it returns any matches
[19:20] <JesusSavesMe> lotus|xenial, install kernel
[19:21] <lotus|xenial> JesusSavesMe: wich one on wich ubuntu version??
[19:21] <JesusSavesMe> lotus|xenial, older
[19:21] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: /dev/sdb1 on /media/anon/backupstick type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096)
[19:21] <akik> renn0xtk9: it can also be a variable called LC_ALL which changes multiple variables at once
[19:21] <lotus|xenial> !details | JesusSavesMe
[19:21] <JesusSavesMe> lotus|xenial, older kernel
[19:21] <daftykins> VictoriaXOXO: and you want to change what, "backupstick" ?
[19:22] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Yeah.
[19:22] <daftykins> VictoriaXOXO: "sudo umount /dev/sdb1" then go use the disk utility perhaps
[19:22] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Okay.
[19:23] <lotus|xenial> !mainline | JesusSavesMe
[19:23] <akik> VictoriaXOXO: it's the volume label
[19:23] <renn0xtk9> akik there are loads of matches but I find this line intersting:
[19:23] <JesusSavesMe> lotus|xenial, nevermind i solved
[19:23] <renn0xtk9> $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kconf_update/log/update.log:2015-11-15T12:33:54 [Script]      LANG = "en_DE.UTF-8"
[19:23] <renn0xtk9> < any idea wtf
[19:24] <akik> renn0xtk9: sorry, no
[19:24] <renn0xtk9> Allright lets give up on that and go to something harder.:
[19:24] <renn0xtk9> Anybody an idea why logkeys is not outputing anything at all ?
[19:25] <akik> renn0xtk9: if you don't find a way to set it, you can reset your kde settings by renaming .kde to .kde.bak. kde will recreate it with default settings
[19:26] <akik> renn0xtk9: unless the default settings include en_DE :)
[19:26] <mekhami> i have some extremely weird stuff going on. everyone's dead in freenode so i have nowhere to really ask questions, but.. I'm using i3 wm, terminator, base16 color scheme. if i source my zshrc that enables 256 colors, cool, everything works. but if i switch windows to another terminal, it goes back to the default. i'm so confused.
[19:27] <renn0xtk9> akik that would not suprise me being given the "rigourous" developement of KDE I see some times ;)
[19:27] <renn0xtk9> hwo can I know which one is my keyboard among all the /dev/input/eventY ?
[19:29] <akik> renn0xtk9: wild guess, look into /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[19:29] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: I had to unmount it in GParted and change the "Label" option.
[19:29] <daftykins> that's essentially what i said.
[19:30] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Yeah. Well, it's all done now. XD
[19:30] <daftykins> then all is well with the world!
[19:30] <VictoriaXOXO> Yeah! :D
[19:31] <VictoriaXOXO> Just one more (one more really annoying) PC-related problem, but that has nothing to do with this channel.
[19:31] <nicomachus> renn0xtk9: mine is event6. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[19:32] <daftykins> sort the tearing out yet?
[19:32] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Yeah, it's gone now. Finally.
[19:32] <renn0xtk9> thanks akik  mine is 8
[19:32] <daftykins> VictoriaXOXO: which method worked?
[19:33] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: You won't like it. I had to choose the latest (recommended) driver AND change a line or two in xorg.conf. Don't hurt me.
[19:33] <daftykins> which specifically...
[19:33] <VictoriaXOXO> But it works, for now. So I'll leave it till it breaks.
[19:34] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: I would have to look it up and come back.
[19:34] <daftykins> or just pastebin the file
[19:35] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Let me feel relaxed for at least a day or two before you butcher my xorg.conf file. XD
[19:35] <VictoriaXOXO> I don't want to hear "DO NOT USE THAT!".
[19:35] <daftykins> i want to know what's in it in case someone comes in with the same query again
[19:35] <daftykins> but apparently that is too much to ask, forget it.
[19:35] <panic_station> #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:36] <akik> renn0xtk9: you can use "xinput" to list the devices
[19:36] <VictoriaXOXO> No, panic_station. We are done now.
[19:36] <VictoriaXOXO> I can sort it out with daftykins later.
[19:36] <panic_station> i mistyped, sorry
[19:36] <nicomachus> VictoriaXOXO: I think he was trying to join that channel.
[19:36] <daftykins> VictoriaXOXO: that user just joined so has nothing to do with the convo.
[19:36] <panic_station> exactly
[19:36] <VictoriaXOXO> Oh, sorry.
[19:36] <VictoriaXOXO> XD
[19:36] <panic_station> sorry bout that
[19:36] <VictoriaXOXO> Sorry.
[19:37] <panic_station> what topic are we discussing at the moment?
[19:37] <VictoriaXOXO> Last 10 minutes have been pretty quiet. Just me rambling, but I'll shut up now.
[19:38] <OerHeks> panic_station, you just read it on top.
[19:38] <OerHeks> Do you have an ubuntu support question?
[19:38] <daftykins> all day long it's support, then at night... all night long support!
[19:38] <nicomachus> but is it day or night?
[19:38] <daftykins> both and neither
[19:39] <panic_station> so then, anyone else use PCSX on Trusty 14.04
[19:39] <lotus|xenial> 24/7 support here
[19:39] <nicomachus> so existential
[19:39] <panic_station> cause im running into a peculiar issue

[19:40] <lotus|xenial> theunkn0wn: i think you want #opparis
[19:40] <theunkn0wn> Yea lol
[19:40] <theunkn0wn> what server is that mate
[19:40] <theunkn0wn> it wont let me join it
[19:40] <VictoriaXOXO> anonnet?
[19:41] <OerHeks> theunkn0wn, maybe you need to register with Freenode
[19:41] <OerHeks> !register
[19:41] <theunkn0wn> Its let me in now
[19:41] <nicomachus> enjoy...
[19:41] <OerHeks> oke solved then
[19:41] <theunkn0wn> Thanks :D
[19:41] <OerHeks> don't bother us with that.
[19:41] <renn0xtk9> somebody has ever used logkeys    I can't manage to get a proper output
[19:42] <nicomachus> renn0xtk9: what kind of output are you looking for?
[19:42] <nicomachus> and did you set the logfile location?
[19:43] <renn0xtk9> nichomachus no but I look at /var/log/logkeys.log

[19:50] <dprophecyguy> Setting up runit (2.1.2-3ubuntu1) ... start: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused dpkg: error processing package runit (--configure):  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of git-daemon-run:  git-daemon-run depends on runit; however:   Package runit is not configured yet.  dpkg: error
[19:50] <nicomachus> shoot, dprophecyguy: --reconfigure, not --configure
[19:50] <dfinninger> alright... this question might get a little dicey... but I'm writing an app for 14.04 - should I use Upstart, SysV, or Systemd to control the service?
[19:51] <dfinninger> I know that 15.04 swapped out the init system for Systemd - just looking for something that will be maintainable into the future
[19:51] <MonsieurBon> Hi
[19:52] <daftykins> dprophecyguy: please stop the repetition
[19:52] <OerHeks> dfinninger, do both, upstart & systemD
[19:52] <bekks> dfinninger: 14.04 uses upstart and is supported for 5 years.
[19:52] <MonsieurBon> Does anyone know how to change the from email address for logcheck?
[19:52] <dprophecyguy> nicomachus : can you explain it how to --reconfigure i am new with ubuntu
[19:53] <juniorRubyist> sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a
[19:53] <dprophecyguy> daftykins : you said it wasn't describe well
[19:53] <nicomachus> dprophecyguy: in a terminal, type in: sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a
[19:53] <nicomachus> then try to install again
[19:53] <dfinninger> OerHeks, bekks: alright, I've got experience with Upstart, I'll do that, thanks
[19:53] <renn0xtk9> OerHeks Sorry can't see where you post an url :S  i don't understand
[19:54] <dprophecyguy> nicomachus : thanks a lot mate
[19:54] <nicomachus> renn0xtk9: the URL i sent you. here is another: https://askubuntu.com/questions/136782/logkeys-not-working-in-12-04
[19:54] <OerHeks> renn0xtk9, i just cleared my screen, sorry, i did not post it
[19:54] <Yaiyan> I'm installing kubuntu, and doing the partitioning
[19:54] <juniorRubyist> Yaiyan are you doing dualboot?
[19:55] <Yaiyan> I didn't touch anything on /dev/sdb in the dialog at all, but when I press "install now", it says the swap partition on sdb is being formatted
[19:55] <Yaiyan> juniorRubyist, well, after partitioning this it's somewhat more than dualboot, but yeah
[19:57] <Yaiyan> Is it normal for it to be formatting swap on another disk, when I didn't change the settings for that at all?
[20:01] <OerHeks> Yaiyan, if your story is true, sdb is unlogical
[20:02] <renn0xtk9> OerHeks nichomachus got it! thanks mate, surprisingly --us-keymap was not working but en_GB seems to do the job
[20:03] <fwed> hello everyone, I just installed the system and there is no 'additional drivers' there, therefore no wifi networks shown. I know this from earlier, but is this still common?
[20:04] <compdoc> I think additional drivers is video card
[20:05] <Yaiyan> OerHeks, sdb is one of the disk, 4 partitions+swap, so one is probably unlogical
[20:05] <Yaiyan> Is there a way to check?
[20:06] <fwed> how can I bring wifi nw back?
[20:06] <Yaiyan> *other disks
[20:09] <akik> Yaiyan: not sure about a two disk setup but if i have a swap partition on /dev/sda during install and don't touch it, it will get used as swap
[20:10] <Yaiyan> akik, so it's nothing to be worried about?
[20:10] <Yaiyan> Partitioning always makes me nervous..
[20:10] <fwed> I have no network and looking for terminal and why does the dash show me a bunch of trash including weather channel?
[20:11] <akik> Yaiyan: well it just probably used mkswap and swapon on it. nothing special. you're safe :)
[20:11] <ioria> fwed, sudo lshw -c network ?
[20:12] <Yaiyan> akik, thanks :)
[20:12] <fwed> seriously...http://is.gd/Q9695x
[20:13] <bekks> fwed: you can customize that behaviour.
[20:13] <fwed> bekks, yes, one has time to customize everything, theoretically.
[20:13] <ioria> fwed, dpkg -l gnome-terminal
[20:13] <fwed> ioria, I have no terminal. cause I cant make it appear!
[20:13] <bekks> fwed: In real life, that can be done within a minute.
[20:14] <ioria> fwed, alt+f2
[20:14] <Yaiyan> After installing this+3 other distros on this disk I'll have 11 OS's installed
[20:14] <fwed> bekks, I quit. you win. fair enough
[20:14] <Yaiyan> 9 of which will be Ubuntu variants/very old versions :D
[20:14] <fwed> ioaria, can I find a terminal somehow?
[20:14] <ioria> fwed, alt+f2   xterm or gnome-terminal
[20:15] <ioria> fwed, if you are ubuntu....
[20:15] <fusioned> what games do you guys play in ubuntu usually, if at all?
[20:15] <fusioned> be it emulated via WINE, naitive, or whatever
[20:15] <lotus|xenial> fusioned: steam, playonlinux,wine
[20:16] <Yaiyan> ctrl+alt+f1 should be another terminal
[20:16] <fusioned> i use wine, playonlinux etc too
[20:16] <Yaiyan> Oh
[20:16] <Yaiyan> ctrl+alt+f7 after ctrl+alt+f1
[20:16] <fusioned> like, what titles? im big on quake 1, brutal doom and doom wads, and PSX games via emulator
[20:16] <VictoriaXOXO> fusioned: "emulated via WINE". :P Do you know what WINE stands for? ;)
[20:16] <fwed> logging out to see if the mess clears
[20:17] <fusioned> WINE IS NOT AN EMULATOR! :P
[20:17] <fusioned> heh
[20:17] <VictoriaXOXO> Yeah!
[20:17] <fusioned> semantics
[20:17] <lotus|xenial> !discuss | fusioned
[20:17] <Yaiyan> I remember my cousin had a script that could port windows games to linux
[20:17] <Yaiyan> So I imagine he played a fair few games with that
[20:18] <grigoris> grigoris
[20:18] <fwed> ioria, now I have a terminal. could I have the command again, please? sorry..I should have noted it
[20:18] <ioria> fwed, sudo lshw -c network ?
[20:18] <fwed> trying now
[20:18] <fwed> thank you
[20:20] <fwed> ioria, I got this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/13352095/
[20:21] <ioria> fwed, your wifi card is not recognized
[20:23] <fwed> ioria, it is not a new machine. It never happened before. how can I fix it?
[20:23] <ioria> fwed, but it should be....
[20:24] <ioria> fwed, it's a fresh install ?
[20:24] <fwed> ioria, yes, but the computer is the same one
[20:24] <ioria> fwed, uname -r ?
[20:25] <fwed> ioaria, '3.19.0-31-generic'
[20:25] <ioria> fwed, why did you install vivid ?
[20:25] <NYTimes> hey I'm looking for links to understand proxy servers
[20:25] <NeedHelp> Hi, folks!
[20:26] <jct500thz> Ubuntu software center isn't asking me for passwords like it usually does... and when I try to install something, it tells me something like I don't have the right permissions.
[20:26] <fwed> fwed, what is vivid?
[20:26] <fwed> the next distro-upgrade?
[20:26] <ioria> fwed, cat /etc/issue ?
[20:26] <bekks> !vivid | fwed
[20:26] <EriC^^> jct500thz: does your user have sudo privileges?
[20:27] <jct500thz> Yes.
[20:27] <Guest71248> Does anyone recognize  STM_d XfO folder in xubuntu?
[20:27] <EriC^^> type groups
[20:27] <jct500thz> EriC^^, in a terminal?
[20:27] <EriC^^> yeah
[20:27] <kisb> jct500thz, do you not know your password?
[20:27] <jct500thz> kisb, I know my password. it isn't giving me a box to enter it into.
[20:28] <fwed> ioria, if I selected the wrong download, I cant believe I overlooked it.
[20:28] <jct500thz> jct500thz adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare @ kisb and EriC^^
[20:28] <ioria> fwed, try 14.04 if you want lts, or 15.10
[20:30] <jct500thz> actually, speaking of one of the groups, how do I samba share?
[20:30] <Cossan> I've found a folder named  STM_d XfO in home. It's loading all the time, I can't see the files. Does anyone recognize it?
[20:30] <fwed> ioria, sure, I didnt want to install 15.04..but does this have to do with the wifi problem?
[20:30] <ioria> fwed, only a way to know....
[20:30] <user_> hi guys, does alsamixer has a gui equivalent of its curses interface?
[20:30] <ioria> fwed, cat /etc/issue ?
[20:31] <fwed> checking
[20:31] <fwed> ioria 'Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS \n \l'
[20:31] <fwed> it is not vivid, then?
[20:32] <ioria> fwed, trusty witn enab stack of vivid
[20:33] <fwed> is that the usual case?
[20:33] <jct500thz> I'm looking around the Xubuntu control panel for something to figure this out.
[20:34] <bekks> jct500thz: Open a terminal, configure your samba shares in the samba configuration file.
[20:34] <Yaiyan> Is it possible to update 14.04 to 15.10?
[20:34] <Yaiyan> Or do I have to wait for 16.04
[20:35] <MonkeyDust> jct500thz  or try gigolo
[20:35] <jct500thz> MonkeyDust, what's gigolo?
[20:35] <bekks> Yaiyan: 14.04 -> 14.10 -> 15.04 -> 15.10
[20:35] <lotus|xenial> user_: maybe pavucontrol?
[20:35] <bekks> Yaiyan: But 14.10 is EOL already.
[20:35] <Yaiyan> bekks, it can still be updated to 14.10?
[20:35] <VictoriaXOXO> Q: Do you enable ufw after a fresh install? Yes? Why? No? Why not?
[20:35] <MonkeyDust> !info gigolo | jct500thz
[20:35] <bekks> !eolupgrades | Yaiyan
[20:36] <ioria> fwed, don't  remember .... i'm on the same with 3.16.0-53-generic
[20:36] <lotus|xenial> !security | VictoriaXOXO
[20:36] <fwed> so how can I get wifi?
[20:37] <Yaiyan> Huhm, I'll probably wait till 16.04 then
[20:37] <Yaiyan> Anyway, I just finished install Kubuntu, but it hasn't appeared in grub
[20:37] <fwed> and why do I have this problem? it was years ago last time I had to manually install drivers, I think at 10.10.
[20:37] <MonkeyDust> !wifi | fwed start here
[20:38] <fwed> MonkeyDust, I need a solution to get wifi started
[20:38] <fwed> If someone knows it I will be grateful
[20:38] <ioria> fwed, try sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi ; sudo modprobe iwlwifi
[20:38] <nicomachus> fwed: I've been away, but what type of wifi card are you using? is it built-in or a USB dongle?
[20:40] <fwed> ioria, it gave this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13352402/
[20:40] <fwed> nicomachus, I dont know if this is informative for your question: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13352095/
[20:41] <fwed> but it's built-in, not usb
[20:41] <ioria> fwed, sudo modprobe iwlagn
[20:41] <fwed> ioria: 'modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:556 kmod_search_moddep() could not open moddep file '/lib/modules/3.19.0-31-generic/modules.dep.bin'
[20:42] <jct500thz> How do I set myself to root?
[20:42] <lotus|xenial> !sudo | jct500thz
[20:42] <jct500thz> Is there any way to do it permanently?
[20:42] <harduim> jct500thz, sudo bash
[20:42] <ioria> fwed, it'a virtual box ?
[20:43] <fwed> ioria, no, it's desktop install
[20:43] <nicomachus> fwed: you don't have a driver on that card, so it's showing as unclaimed. There's no driver installed at all. ioria: modprobe isn't going to find a driver that doesn't exist.
[20:43] <lotus|xenial> jct500thz: why do you need permament root?
[20:43] <harduim> jct500thz, But I would not recommend doing that if not necessary
[20:43] <ioria> ok
[20:43] <jct500thz> Because some apps have trouble with permissions.
[20:43] <harduim> jct500thz, Like what?
[20:44] <ioria> nicomachus, but it's an old card ... the module should be loaded
[20:44] <fwed> nicomachus, yes, as I said earlier, no drivers are shown in 'additional drivers'
[20:44] <jct500thz> Ubuntu Software Center won't work right. Says I don't have the right permissions.
[20:45] <nicomachus> fwed: because that only lists proprietary drivers.
[20:45] <lotus|xenial> jct500thz: ubuntu version? are you the admin of the pc?
[20:45] <kisb> use terminal or synaptic
[20:45] <nicomachus> fwed: sudo apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi
[20:45] <harduim> jct500thz, Thats strange, it should work right out of the box
[20:45] <jct500thz> I'm using Xubuntu and I'm the only user. Been using it for a year now.
[20:46] <jct500thz> Started this error...
[20:46] <lotus|xenial> jct500thz: xubuntu version?
[20:46] <ioria> it's for debian
[20:47] <Yaiyan> Just noticed compiz is installed on Ubuntu still
[20:47] <fwed> nicomachus, unable to locate the package: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13352523/
[20:47] <ioria> !info firmware-iwlwifi trusty
[20:47]  * Yaiyan starts hunting for wobbly window option
[20:47] <nicomachus> fwed: yea, my bad that's the debian name.
[20:47] <lotus|xenial> Yaiyan: compiz-plugins-extra
[20:47] <aarobc> So, I tried using kernel 4.1, then after I removed it there was no option to boot ubuntu in grub. I know I have other kernels installed, but I wasn't able to get that working. I booted from a live usb and am currently attempting to run boot repair as instructed in the docs, but it's currently hanging at "Purge kernels then reinstall last kernel sda1 (ins). This may require several minutes.."
[20:47] <nicomachus> fwed: cd into /lib/firmware and then ls *.ucode
[20:47] <nicomachus> what's the output?
[20:47] <aarobc> It's been saying that for a bout three hours now
[20:47] <Yaiyan> lotus|xenial, awesome
[20:48] <Yaiyan> Been too long since I last tried those :D
[20:48] <lotus|xenial> Yaiyan: and install ccsm also to enable it
[20:48] <lotus|xenial> Yaiyan: after enable wobbly, system might freeze and you need reboot
[20:48] <Yaiyan> Oh, ok
[20:49] <fwed> nicomachus, gives this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13352561/
[20:49] <jct500thz> it's not..
[20:49] <jct500thz> it's not letting me install anything.
[20:49] <Yaiyan> In my mind compiz and wobbly are synonymous tbh
[20:49] <lotus|xenial> jct500thz: xubuntu version?
[20:49] <jct500thz> xubuntu version of what?
[20:49] <harduim> jct500thz, And what about apt ??
[20:49] <Snide_> Been a long time windows user who's experimented with redhat/fedora for a short while but went back to windows. Recently I Installed 15.10 and got most of the programs and drivers I need for steam and other unsupported DirectX games, I was just wondering if there were any suggested KDE's or software I should look into being fresh into 15.10
[20:49] <nicomachus> fwed: ok. then sudo modprobe iwlwifi and see if it returns an error
[20:50] <lotus|xenial> jct500thz: lsb_release -a
[20:50] <jct500thz> Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
[20:50] <fwed> nicomachus, yes, it did: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13352591/

[20:51] <MonkeyDust> jct500thz  next time, use a pastebin for multiple lines
[20:51] <jct500thz> Sorry about that, MonkeyDust.
[20:52] <lotus|xenial> jct500thz: try launching software center from terminal to see errors
[20:52] <wmorri> Snide_, I don't exactly understand your question. KDE is a desktop environment.
[20:52] <fwed> nicomachus, I will try a reboot
[20:53] <nicomachus> fwed: first try sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-3.19.0-31
[20:54] <jct500thz> http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=zvT8tpcJ
[20:54] <fwed> nicomachus, ok, underway
[20:54] <jct500thz> It's giving me that error. http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=zvT8tpcJ
[20:54] <VictoriaXOXO> Q: Do you enable ufw after a fresh install? Yes? Why? No? Why not?
[20:55] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: no, the average jo doesnt need to switch a lot settings there. the standard ubuntu is pretty much set up already
[20:55] <jct500thz> lotus|xenial, what's the terminal command for software center?
[20:55] <Snide_> @wmorri I was more or less talking about in general where some noob resources might be and or some suggestions on what I should be doing if I were going for a gaming/performance approach to customizing ubuntu
[20:55] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: Oh, okay. Nice. :)
[20:56] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: if you dont have a program listening on a port the port is "closed" anyway. so no  need to worry about it
[20:56] <lotus|xenial> jct500thz: software-center
[20:56] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: But I'm not any LESS secure by just doing "sudo ufw enable", am I?
[20:57] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: in most cases you block stuff then you not want to be blocked :)
[20:57] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: Ohhhhhh... :|
[20:58] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: so you need to read a lot manuals how to enable only your stuff again. if you want that to learn etc then go ahead. it doesnt harm. but the standard settings are quit good balanced
[20:58] <nicomachus> fwed: when that's done, try sudo modprobe iwlwifi again
[20:58] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: Okay. Thanks. :)
[20:58] <fwed> nicomachus, still error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13352739/
[20:59] <jct500thz> I launched software-center in #: and I think that fixed the problem.
[21:00] <jct500thz> Thanks for the help!
[21:00] <jct500thz> I was able to install Steam
[21:00] <nicomachus> fwed: perhaps 'sudo ifconfig wlan0 up'? otherwise I'm out of ideas and have to take off for a meeting

[21:11] <jnhghy> my computer freezes all downloads including software updates since I've installed a new video board I have ubuntu 14.04 but the same happened on windows (dual boot) any idea what I can check or do?
[21:11] <waressearcher2> jnhghy: over heating problem ?
[21:12] <MonkeyDust> waressearcher2  not really, your question caught my attention, i was curious
[21:12] <jnhghy> waressearcher2: don't think so ... computer woks just fine ... including after effects ...
[21:12] <jnhghy> waressearcher2: just checked everything seems quite cool
[21:13] <genii> Maybe your PSU is inadequate for the task
[21:13] <VictoriaXOXO> Q: How would one view the contents of a .xpi file in Ubuntu 14.04?
[21:14] <BluesKaj> jnhghy, make sure you have the correct driver for the graphics card installed , is it the same brand as the previous , or is it new /
[21:14] <jnhghy> genii: and freezes downloads over 10mb over? might be... but I don't see a reason...
[21:14] <genii> VictoriaXOXO: They are just zip files
[21:14] <VictoriaXOXO> genii: So... I unzip it?
[21:15] <jnhghy> BluesKaj: that might be the issue... I'm trying to download it's driver .. but it's not working on this computer... I'll
[21:15] <jnhghy> give it a try on my laptop..
[21:15] <BluesKaj> which card is it ?
[21:15] <VictoriaXOXO> genii: Hey! That worked! :D
[21:16] <jnhghy> BluesKaj: nvidia 420
[21:17] <BluesKaj> jnhghy, the driver should be available in the repos
[21:17] <BluesKaj> package manager
[21:18] <BluesKaj> jnhghy, sudo apt install nvidia-340
[21:18] <jnhghy> BluesKaj: I'm downloading it on my desktop: just got feedback from chrome on a download: "Failed - Network timeout", I'm trying to install it now
[21:19] <BluesKaj> don't install the driver from the nvidia site,
[21:19] <BluesKaj> jnhghy,\
[21:20] <genii> VictoriaXOXO: Now you know :)
[21:20] <jnhghy> BluesKaj: can you give a little help on this please: nvidia-340 : Depends: lib32gcc1 but it is not going to be installed
[21:21] <KzadorDmalditos> hola?
[21:21] <lotus|xenial> !es | KzadorDmalditos
[21:22] <OerHeks> jnhghy, don't use the driver from the nvidia website, use the build-in driver tool
[21:22] <BluesKaj> jnhghy, try sudo apt install lib32gcc1
[21:22] <Miron> ‎( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
[21:23] <BluesKaj> OerHeks, he's trying to install the nvidia-340 with apt
[21:23] <genii> Sounds like multiarch is missing or only set for 64bit
[21:23] <BluesKaj> yeah
[21:24] <OerHeks> BluesKaj, if that gcc is missing, it looks like the update server used is not up-to-date, or he added 32 bit environment
[21:25] <BluesKaj> then he m=needs to instal multiarch iguess...gotta gofor  afew mins. bbl
[21:26] <genii> jnhghy: Can you pastebin the results of: apt-config dump | grep Architecture
[21:26] <jnhghy> 1 sec genii
[21:27] <genii> Don't forget to uppercase that A in Architecture

[21:28] <genii> So that's normal, and contains both, as it should.
[21:28] <VictoriaXOXO> Q: How long are Ubuntu Pastebin texts stored? Forever?
[21:29] <genii> jnhghy: How about result of: apt-cache policy lib32gcc1     then please
[21:29] <jnhghy> genii: I notice I get strange results on apt-get update: http://pastebin.com/eYM2aFFW
[21:29] <genii> VictoriaXOXO: default is 24 hours
[21:30] <genii> jnhghy: That's normal, it means that some other place right now on the computer, updates are happening
[21:31] <jnhghy> genii: http://pastebin.com/Q17wBzsi well .. I don't see where are those updates happening :)
[21:31] <VictoriaXOXO> genii: But there's no option to manually choose? So how can it be defualt? :o
[21:31] <genii> jnhghy: Did you use sudo with that command?
[21:31] <jnhghy> yeah
[21:33] <jnhghy> genii: I did sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf  and now apt-get update works ...
[21:33] <genii> I was going to try finding out what was using it with lsof first, but I guess that works
[21:36] <jnhghy> genii: apt-get update doesn't go throw ... it freezes but after trying to run it for a few times now it found and started downloading and installing the nvidia driver ...
[21:36] <jnhghy> but that one freezes too :))
[21:36] <genii> VictoriaXOXO: Sorry, ubuntu pastebin has no time limit. The pastebin.com site is the 24 hour default
[21:37] <drdeo> t
[21:37] <VictoriaXOXO> genii: So how do we know how long they save it for? :P
[21:37] <jnhghy> genii: thanks for your efforts and time... really appreciate them!!!! I'll use my laptop to download the drive and try with it ... thanks again!
[21:37] <genii> jnhghy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5555555/  there's the very first one from when it was set up.
[21:38] <genii> Sorry, VictoriaXOXO^
[21:38] <VictoriaXOXO> genii: Booooooooo. I don't like that. :P
[21:38] <VictoriaXOXO> I'll use an alternative. Thanks.

[22:11] <threeminutemonta> computer randomly shutdown over night. Is there anyway to find out why / when. 14.04 LTS
[22:11] <halexander9000> Greetings. My apologies, but I'd very much appreciate it if someone could help me reinstall my graphics drivers on my original Ubuntu installation. I just bought an Nvidia graphics card, installed the drivers using this guide http://askubuntu.com/questions/149206/how-to-install-nvidia-run and since then I haven't been able to boot up neither with m
[22:11] <halexander9000> y integrated card or the one I bought :(
[22:11] <halexander9000> I'm using a usb stick right now.
[22:11] <halexander9000> On the ingrated graphics.
[22:19] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: Did you purge the old driver prior to installing the new Nvidia graphic's card ?
[22:19] <halexander9000> I have not
[22:20] <halexander9000> I can however purge it now, using the ctrl-alt-f1
[22:20] <halexander9000> Then can I install it using this?
[22:20] <halexander9000> http://askubuntu.com/questions/66328/how-do-i-install-the-latest-nvidia-drivers-from-the-run-file
[22:20] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: What was the old card ? so we know the command to purge that old driver .
[22:20] <halexander9000> I have the .run file
[22:21] <halexander9000> It's the integrated hd4600
[22:21] <halexander9000> Intel
[22:22] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: Generally speaking, installing a driver from OEM is the last resort . Drivers are available in our software repository .
[22:22] <halexander9000> Do I need to remove repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
[22:22] <halexander9000> ?
[22:23] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: Intel provides us with the latest drivers . There is usaually nothing that needs/can be done oth Intel. Intel just works .
[22:23] <halexander9000> Ah
[22:23] <halexander9000> I see.
[22:24] <halexander9000> Ok, so basically I need to do a "apt-get install intel-current" ?
[22:24] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: Maintenance will be much easier if you install from repo . though PPA is also supported . 1st adviuse is yes .. ppa-purge ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates .
[22:25] <halexander9000> Or was it the xserver-xorg-video-intel
[22:25] <Bashing-om> advise*
[22:25] <halexander9000> Understood.
[22:25] <halexander9000> will ppa-purge.
[22:25] <halexander9000> Then shall I "apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel" ?
[22:26] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: What release are you running ?
[22:26] <halexander9000> I don't know for sure if 14.04 or 14.10, since I'm not running it currently.
[22:27] <halexander9000> I'm using a live version from a usb right now.
[22:27] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: 14.10 will be a problem as it is no longer supportd and repos are turned away .
[22:28] <halexander9000> I have access to my file-system, is there a way to check?
[22:29] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: Sure . What in the install is ' cat /etc/issue ' ?
[22:29] <VictoriaXOXO> Q: Is there a terminal command to check DE version PLUS what window manager and file manager I use?
[22:30] <VictoriaXOXO> Like a command to list all those things.
[22:30] <halexander9000> 15.04
[22:30] <halexander9000> Oh, right. I upgraded to that.
[22:30] <halexander9000> Huh
[22:30] <halexander9000> 15.04 it is then. For sure now.
[22:31] <BaGRoS> Hi. transmission-daemon saving files as debian-transmission:debian-transmission, how i can change this for nuc:nuc? I changed USER=root or nuc in /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon no result :?
[22:31] <MrCeeIII> hello all.. its me the noob again... I am trying to find a good program I can use to create an image file... backuop/clone for my comp
[22:32] <bekks> !backup | MrCeeIII
[22:34] <MrCeeIII> but whats the best way...
[22:35] <MrCeeIII> what are some free programs to uses to accomplish this... thanks
[22:36] <_unreal> hello, I've lost my touch pad some how? not sure how
[22:36] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: K; So we are back to what was originally . Us this machine of "optimus - hybrid graphics" originally, or are you choosing to go with Nvidia in lieu of Intel ?
[22:37] <_unreal> going into system/settings/mouse-touch pad show's mouse as being there and enabled as far as the touch pad goes but my touch pad is just not working
[22:37] <_unreal> any idea's on what I may do to solve this wierd issue
[22:37] <halexander9000> I wish to make the Nvidia function, but having the intel as a fall-back would be nice.
[22:38] <halexander9000> 750Ti
[22:38] <_unreal> ?
[22:39] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: IF this is not "optimus" not likely to have both in the fly .
[22:39] <halexander9000> Not both at the same time.
[22:39] <halexander9000> But if one doesn't function, I'd like to be able to switch the card in bios.
[22:42] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: That is doable in bios ( may have to move Nvidi's xorg.conf file out of the way ) .
[22:42] <VictoriaXOXO> Q: Is there a terminal command to check DE version PLUS what window manager and file manager I use?
[22:42] <VictoriaXOXO> Like a command to list all those things.
[22:43] <ChunkzZ> what comes with ubuntu server?
[22:43] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: not an easy one.
[22:43] <k1l_> ChunkzZ: can you be more specific?
[22:43] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: Will work on removing the mess I made, and reinstalling xserver-xorg-video-intel    . Give me a few minutes please. And thank you for your help.
[22:43] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: Any complicated ones then? :P
[22:44] <k1l_> echo $DESKTOP_SESSION
[22:44] <ChunkzZ> k1l_: I have an odroid xu4, arm device. I am running ubuntu mate but I removed mate and installed i3. but, would server be better? I mean, instead of removing mate etc I can build up myself...?
[22:44] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: NP .. what card is the Nvidia .. when ready we have the system verify and install the correct driver .
[22:45] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: XD "mate" is all the information I got.
[22:45] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: so you are running mate desktop
[22:46] <k1l_> ChunkzZ: ubuntu server is the same base system as the desktops got.
[22:46] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: How do I figure out all the other things? Am I using compiz? compton? Anything else?
[22:46] <ChunkzZ> k1l_: so I can sudo apt-get etc?
[22:46] <ChunkzZ> right?
[22:46] <k1l_> ChunkzZ: yes
[22:46] <ChunkzZ> awesome, thank you.
[22:47] <TheEagerPadawan> testing out the rdesktop package which allows you to connect to a host with rdp on the cli. Anyhoo, i'm trying to use a certain keymap but it fails to open so it reverts back to en-us
[22:48] <TheEagerPadawan> which uses a qwerty keyboard and i'm more familiar with an azerty
[22:48] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: It's this one http://www.msi.com/product/graphics-card/N750Ti-2GD5OCV1.html#hero-overview
[22:49] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: I'm restarting now, wish me luck
[22:49] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: good question, that will need a lot of digging in the system.
[22:49] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: Guuuulp.
[22:51] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: K, the driver for the 750ti is in 15.04's repo .
[22:57] <LtL> Bashing-om: which number/version driver is for the 750Ti?
[22:58] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: Operation successful, I have returned from the dead :D
[22:58] <bakasage> hello everyone, help me, please, solve broken dependencies (also i want libreoffice to be uninstalled). here's log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13354302/
[22:59] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: I'm back to my old desk-top, just the way I left it.
[22:59] <Bashing-om> LtL: 352 version : see : http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/95159/en-us .
[22:59] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: At least now I know how to return to the intel drivers.
[22:59] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: It works flawlessly.
[23:00] <LtL> Bashing-om: ok, i do show that one in additional drivers, thanks
[23:00] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: Let's male sure the system sees the Nvidia card ; ' lspci | grep "VGA\|3D" ' .
[23:00] <halexander9000> Wilco
[23:01] <Bashing-om> LtL: Good deal .
[23:01] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: I get a " grep: Invalid back reference
[23:01] <halexander9000>  "
[23:02] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: Inecpected .. what about ' lspci -vnn | grep VGA -A 12 ' ?
[23:02] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: never mind, I ran it with just the "VGA" bit
[23:03] <kama3> halexander9000: wish you luck with that driver.. i have updated to that 352.63 (860m) on my 14.04 and after boot i'm entering "low graphics mode", X creates core dump with sigabrt. i have to go back to console and start manually lightdm
[23:03] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM107 [GeForce GTX 750 Ti] (rev a2)
[23:03] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: So it would seem that it does see it.
[23:03] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: Yeah .. that is waht we wanted to see . Driver is now installed and all is good ??
[23:03] <LtL> Bashing-om: i'm using nouveau, but additional drivers says intel microcode code is in use, what do i do about that?
[23:04] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: I tried to remove the ppa, and it failed. I'm afraid to run the install nvidia-current now :(
[23:04] <LtL> Bashing-om: use 352 and keep the intel microcode?
[23:06] <Bashing-om> LtL: 'Intel microcode' is firmware not a direct concern to the grahics driver in use .
[23:07] <LtL> Bashing-om: yeah thats exactly what is says, so cool, thanks
[23:07] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: "ppa-purge" just reverts to what is in the repo and then remove that source ! .
[23:09] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: In other words, I have to do "sudo add-apt-repository --remove ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates"
[23:10] <TwentyTwenty> is there a reason why I am seeing different values for the size of my hard drive from different programs?  Dolphin says I have 212GB of total space, GParted says I have 223GB of space in the partition, and I'm pretty sure this is a 256GB ssd.  What could be causing this?
[23:10] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: IF things work as is .. leave well enough alone .. just be aware that the possibility of graphic's driver breakage in a kernel update exists .
[23:11] <halexander9000> Bashing-om, Done.
[23:11] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: I tested the graphics currently, and It's worse than my Intel.
[23:11] <halexander9000> Bashing-om, With minecraft
[23:12] <compdoc> TwentyTwenty, ssds reserve a small amount of space for its own use. and it even helps if you leave a few gigs of space as un-partitioned
[23:12] <halexander9000> Bashing-om, Imagine how much of a performance decrease it would have to be to be felt in Minecraft.
[23:12] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: You are too quick, or I am just too slow .. // so we are back to properly ppa-purge ( revert to repo driver0 purge what is now and install the nvidia driver ... no big deal .
[23:13] <TwentyTwenty> compdoc, how small?  Currently it looks like it's using 28GB if this is supposed to be a 240GB ssd
[23:13] <halexander9000> Bashing-om, from where? The original repos?
[23:13] <compdoc> Some drive come with software that suggest about 10 gigs or so. Google 'over-provisioning'
[23:13] <compdoc> TwentyTwenty ^
[23:14] <TwentyTwenty> compdoc, i'm fine with 10GB, but what about the other 18?
[23:15] <TwentyTwenty> compdoc, also, this must be something handled by the ubuntu installer automatically because I never deliberately set aside 28GB
[23:15] <compdoc> I think all hard drives sold dont match the advertised size.
[23:15] <TwentyTwenty> compdoc, it's also not showing up as unpartioned space, it's just not showing up at all
[23:15] <compdoc> something to do with how the size is measured
[23:16] <TwentyTwenty> compdoc, so you think the ssd size is really 223GB and the ubuntu installer automatically set aside 10GB for the ssd?
[23:17] <halexander9000> Bashing-om, I'm hesitant to do that again, even with the ppa removed :( Are you sure it's ok now?
[23:18] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: Not knowing what has been done, or where you are .. I do suggest ' sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates ' as the 1st step. then comment out that PPA in the sources.list directory . then we purge all and (re-)install . that is what I think .
[23:19] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: Note that I have repeatedly advised 'ppa-purge' .
[23:19] <maszlo> is there any real side effects from disabling dns masq?
[23:20] <halexander9000> Bashing-om, I have purged both the nvidia driver and the ppa
[23:20] <halexander9000> Bashing-om, Checking to see if after --remove the ppa is still in source.list
[23:20] <sunil`> I recently updated from 12.04 to 14.04. About two weeks ago, I think. I've rebooted a few times without issues. Today I rebooted. I think that ubuntu has loaded, but I'm not being presented with a graphical login. I just get blank screens and a mouse
[23:21] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: Just checked. Nothing in the source.list
[23:21] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: And when I say nothing, I mean none of my blunders.
[23:21] <halexander9000> Bashing-om, Ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates specifically
[23:22] <maszlo> i have found that dnsmasq being turned on by default in networkManager was breaking my vpn dns
[23:22] <sunil`> As i boot, I see that ubuntu is indeed loading
[23:22] <sunil`> like, I see a purple screen for a moment, and the text 'ubuntu 14.4'
[23:22] <sunil`> but then... nothing
[23:22] <maszlo> just do not know if this will break other thing turning it off.  dont care if it asks the dns server each time
[23:23] <TJ-> maszlo: sounds like something was misconfigured, NM's dnsmasq should work fine in cooperation with a VPN if the network connections are correctly configured.
[23:23] <halexander9000> Bashing-om, Dare I do now the dreaded install Nvidia-current?
[23:24] <maszlo> TJ-: i dont understand what i could have setup incorrectly i tried using the dhcp dns and manually setting them.  they never updated in the /etc/resolv.conf
[23:24] <maszlo> it would always just show localhost, or 127.0.1.1
[23:25] <maszlo> that interface order had tun* in it right behind the lo options.
[23:26] <maszlo> i am talking about /etc/resolvconf/interface-order
[23:27] <TJ-> maszlo: /etc/resolv.conf is a link to /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf. NM updates resolvconf's nameservers entry when it receives a DHCP option, or from its manual configuration. It operates a private instance of dnsmaws that it gives to resolvconf, listening on 127.0.1.1. If you've got some VPN connection not managed by NM then its -up script updates may be replaced when NM brings up and interface
[23:27] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: ' sudo service lightdm stop ; sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak ; sudo apt-get purge nvidia* ; sudo apt-get install nvidia-352 ; sudo nvidia-xconfig ' .. Rerboot and let's see .
[23:27] <maszlo> so i should look at what is broken in vpnc?
[23:28] <TJ-> maszlo: if you want an NM connection to NOT apply DHCP options for DNS, in the NM connection change the method to "Automatic (Addresses Only)" so it doesn't use the DNS/gateway DHCP options
[23:28] <dimitry7> :)
[23:29] <maszlo> TJ-: but i do want it to use the dns for vpn and it was not showing up
[23:29] <TJ-> maszlo: if you use NM's network-manager-vpnc{,-gnome} then there won't be any conflicts
[23:31] <maszlo> TJ-: thanks for the info
[23:32] <karma_banana> Hey, I tried the live usb of ubuntu 15.10, but it won't let me get past the login screen and asks for user name and password and the texts get glitchy
[23:32] <halexander9000> Bashing-om, Taking the plunge now, see you on the other side.
[23:33] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: ;) .. nothing ventured, nothing gained .
[23:34] <TJ-> karma_banana: use the boot option 'check disk' that sounds like corruption
[23:35] <karma_banana> I did, but there were no errors
[23:36] <TJ-> karma_banana: possibly the system has some random read errors, or RAM problems then. 'glitchy text' certainly points in that direction
[23:36] <est31> is there any minimal wayland desktop environment?
[23:37] <est31> for ubuntu of course
[23:38] <karma_banana> TJ-, hmm.. never ahd any issues
[23:39] <k1l_> est31: there is no usable wayland desktop yet.
[23:39] <est31> I have heard that you can get wayland + gnome running if you install the gnome-session-wayland package
[23:39] <TJ-> !info gnome-session-wayland | est31
[23:40] <est31> but I dont want to install the entirety of gnome
[23:40] <threeminutemonta> My computer randomly shutdown over night. Is there anyway to find out why / when. 14.04 LTS?
[23:40] <est31> if I install the package alone I cant chose it at login
[23:40] <TJ-> !info plasma-workspace-wayland | est31
[23:41] <TJ-> est31: use "apt-cache search -n wayland" to see all the various wayland support packages. You'll likely need 'xwayland' to integrate into the existing system, so it won't be a pure wayland
[23:41] <k1l_> est31: "running"
[23:41] <est31> ah thanks
[23:43] <est31> why doesnt plasma-workspace-wayland depend on xwayland? I mean if it doesnt work without?
[23:44] <egggs> hello all
[23:47] <VictoriaXOXO> Q: Does ANYONE know how I would make this script work on Ubuntu (with some ExifTool alternative)? http://pastebin.com/sfSRBnxH
[23:47] <est31> will it automatically configure + set up xwayland when I install the package?
[23:48] <est31> I'll just give it a try
[23:49] <k1l_> est31: the gnome-walynad session depends on xwayland
[23:50] <VictoriaXOXO> (Asking again. Waited some time. Found out that exiftool exists for Linux.) Q: How would I make this script work for exiftool on Ubuntu?
[23:50] <VictoriaXOXO> http://pastebin.com/sfSRBnxH
[23:51] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: do you know man pages?
[23:51] <k1l_> !man | VictoriaXOXO
[23:52] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: Hmm. Would I find it all there?
[23:52] <k1l_> its like the handbook of the program. there you can read if and what options that program offers you.
[23:53] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: Oh, okay.
[23:56] <yoko> hi
[23:56] <halexander9000> Bashing-om, My friend, it works!
[23:57] <halexander9000> Bashing-om, Performance Boost all around~!
[23:57] <halexander9000> Bashing-om, If there's anything you need my friend, just ask :D
