| mcphail | menoob: Could it be something to do with Unity already claiming the key binding? | 00:00 |
| menoob | mcphail: thank you for your reply :-). But I'm not using unity. Instead, I'm using i3wm | 00:01 |
| mcphail | menoob: ok - was only guessing! I presume the same doesn't apply for i3? That is quite heavt on the keybindings, isn't it? | 00:02 |
| menoob | mcphail: as far as I know, alt+space is not occupied | 00:03 |
| daftykins | that's actually a standard function for bringing the menu down from window controls | 00:04 |
| MWM | Im connected with a USB3 to ethernet adapter, how can I keep Ubuntu from searchin for the network through any other inerface at startup? | 00:07 |

| MWM | removing eth0 from the /etc/network/interfaces dows not stop the network check at startup , where else could I look? | 00:12 |
| Welshman | Hi everyone 'in' this room. Also, I am a 'new' Linux Mint. But I do have a question about/on PlayDeb, the unofficial Ubuntu games website. My question is: Are the games from PlayDeb safe? Or....Is it safe to download games from the PlayDeb website? Thanks. :) | 00:13 |

| Jordan_U | MWM: What practical problem are you having? | 00:15 |
| Welshman | Ben64: Yes, I know that. My question is about/on PlayDeb, the unofficial Ubuntu games website! Thanks. :) | 00:15 |
| slavka` | hey guys... if im root, whats the diff between just running a command and running it with sudo prefix? e.g. sudo npm install... and npm install... | 00:16 |
| Ben64 | Welshman: unofficial = not supported here | 00:16 |
| Jordan_U | slavka`: Usually nothing, but you shouldn't log in as root, and even running a root shell is often a bad idea. | 00:17 |
| bprompt | slavka`: dunno, but I'd think none, sudo is to run as superuser, but "root" is already a superuser, so I'd think the shell will run it, though neverminding the "sudo" part anyway | 00:18 |
| Welshman | Ben64: If that is the case then why is it listed on the Ubuntu website? Also, if you do not mind, I will wait for some else to answer/reply to my "Are the games from PlayDeb safe?" etc! Thanks again. :) | 00:18 |

| bazhang | try #ubuntu-discuss Welshman | 00:20 |
| Welshman | bazhang: Thanks for the suggestion. Will take note but if you do not mind I will wait for a few minutes to see if someone will answer/reply to my initial question! Thanks again. :) | 00:22 |

| foul_owl | Do you know how to view active dhcp leases with that package? | 01:09 |

| daftykins | foul_owl: should be pretty obvious if any leases have been issued since you've only just set it up and configured it, presumably... | 01:14 |

| Jiffer | im self teaching as well | 01:32 |
| Jiffer | but the more stuff i can get my hands on the better | 01:32 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | i've had pretty good success with those idiots guide/dummy books for other topics | 01:32 |
| Jiffer | also what distribo do most people use | 01:32 |
| OpenSorce | Jiffer, by the time you get a hard copy book read it's info could be badly outdated. Stick with online sources that can be updated as the tech evolves. | 01:33 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | Jiffer http://distrowatch.com/ | 01:33 |
| somsip | Jiffer: this is ubuntu, so people use ubuntu. If you want general suggestions, try something like distrowatch.com (from memory) | 01:33 |
| k1l_ | Jiffer: start with ubuntu :) | 01:33 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | yeah Ubuntu is the gateway drug for many linux users | 01:33 |
| OpenSorce | Jiffer, without a doubt begin with Ubuntu. | 01:33 |
| OpenSorce | k1l_, I started with Slack :-P | 01:33 |
| Jiffer | I got a bunch of VM's on this computer | 01:34 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | looking back I wish I had started with Arch | 01:34 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | if only to learn the most basic things of how Linux operates | 01:34 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | partitioning, etc | 01:34 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | most of that is hand-held through the ubuntu installation process | 01:34 |
| OpenSorce | SeriouslyLaugh, I learned a LOT having to compile and re-write apps to get them working. | 01:34 |
| somsip | SeriouslyLaugh: do LFS in a VM as a project - then you'll learn. But this is off-topic | 01:34 |
| OpenSorce | I made an LFS distro but it was made to mimic OSX and Apple made me stop :-P | 01:35 |

| SeriouslyLaugh | so if anyone asks a subjecive question, make sure you dont answer | 01:37 |
| OpenSorce | So what DM is Ubuntu using now for logins? Light? | 01:37 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | OpenSorce no talking in this channel | 01:37 |
| k1l_ | SeriouslyLaugh: this channels focus is ubuntu. for general chat use ##chat or ##linux for general linux questions | 01:37 |
| k1l_ | OpenSorce: yes, lightdm | 01:37 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | the guy asked which distro to use | 01:37 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | so if it's not ubuntu, we cant say it | 01:38 |
| k1l_ | OpenSorce: but kubuntu uses ssdm, and mate ubuntu uses gdm, iirc. | 01:38 |

| SeriouslyLaugh | Jiffer CD .. | 01:51 |
| Jiffer | yeah but thats not working | 01:51 |
| Jiffer | I did cd ../../ | 01:51 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | type pwd | 01:51 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | that'll show you where you're at | 01:51 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | cd just means change directory | 01:52 |
| Jiffer | pwd did nothing | 01:52 |
| pac1 | pwd = print working directory | 01:53 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | thanks pac1 i did not know that one | 01:53 |
| Jiffer | I got it now | 01:53 |
| pac1 | you need a list of common linux commands. | 01:53 |
| Jiffer | in Kali you would do this | 01:53 |
| Jiffer | cd/../../../.. for each one | 01:54 |
| Jiffer | but with ubuntu you have to do cd .. | 01:54 |
| pac1 | http://www.tecmint.com/useful-linux-commands-for-newbies/ | 01:54 |
| Jiffer | thanks Pac1 | 01:54 |
| pac1 | What's Kali? | 01:55 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | distro for penetration testing, Debian based | 01:55 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | not sure why or how the terminal commands would be different though | 01:55 |
| tgm4883 | precisely why kali isn't supported here | 01:55 |
| Jiffer | lol | 01:56 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | has there been any discussion for what happens when the release naming convention reaches past the letter Z? | 01:57 |
| pac1 | other than the list of commands, what would be different? for example where's the space after cd i cd/../../../..n | 01:57 |
| tgm4883 | SeriouslyLaugh: yes, although I'd have to look it up (and that isn't exactly a support question) | 01:58 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | I suppose 20.04? | 01:58 |

| Extreminador | guys i just installed the vsftpd, but can´t find the place to config username and password | 02:29 |
| RonWhoCares | SeriouslyLaugh: Touch down!!! | 02:29 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | awesome great RonWhoCares | 02:29 |
| OpenSorce | I know the command to turn it on and off, btw just want to make a toggle script for it. I used to know how to do this... I'm getting old :-( | 02:29 |
| Extreminador | according to some sites it should have asked me for user and pass when i install it but it did not ask nothing | 02:29 |
| lotuspsychje | Extreminador: maybe the #vsftpd guys might know? | 02:30 |
| Extreminador | thanks ther is c channel for that | 02:30 |
| Extreminador | lool | 02:30 |
| Extreminador | ty | 02:30 |
| VictoriaXOXO | Q: Does anyone know how to block all ICMP timestamps requests and responses on Ubuntu 14.04? :) | 02:32 |
| lotuspsychje | VictoriaXOXO: try the #netfilter channel | 02:33 |
| VictoriaXOXO | lotuspsychje: Doing it right now. | 02:34 |
| timmo123 | Hi apologies in advance since this is on my phone so it's slow to type | 02:36 |
| timmo123 | I recently updated from 14.04 to 15.04 and rebooted after the update | 02:37 |
| lotuspsychje | timmo123: upgrade from lts to non-lts isnt reccomended | 02:37 |
| === NickG365_ is now known as NickG365 | ||
| timmo123 | Regardless, it's 15.04 now | 02:38 |
| lotuspsychje | timmo123: how did you upgrade exactly? | 02:38 |
| RonWhoCares | um | 02:38 |
| timmo123 | The boot menu gets up to the message "started update UTMP about system runlevel changes" and hangs | 02:38 |
| timmo123 | Popup message | 02:39 |
| anonimo | culos todos | 02:39 |
| timmo123 | I don't normally use ubuntu, almost everything on it is standard | 02:40 |
| lotuspsychje | !es | anonimo | 02:40 |
| ubottu | anonimo: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 02:40 |
| timmo123 | So it would be whatever is installed by default | 02:40 |
| lotuspsychje | timmo123: clean install 15.04 | 02:40 |
| RonWhoCares | I don't see video files being created in VLC. even though I specified the path in preferences | 02:40 |
| timmo123 | I don't have an install disk or the ability to make one | 02:40 |
| Gr4cchus | Hey guys, off topic, but what is that software a bunch of people are using to collaborate on? I remember reading about it on hacker news how the new generations are comming in and implicit or explicitly phasing out irc | 02:40 |
| lotuspsychje | !ot | Gr4cchus yes its offtopic | 02:41 |
| ubottu | Gr4cchus yes its offtopic: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 02:41 |
| lotuspsychje | RonWhoCares: you need to enable advanced settings to see vlc's record button | 02:42 |
| timmo123 | Hi sorry | 02:42 |
| VictoriaXOXO | lotuspsychje: Do you think this "net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts = 1" would work? | 02:42 |
| RonWhoCares | lotuspsychje: Where is that option? | 02:43 |
| timmo123 | I didn't tap my phone for a second and it disconnected me | 02:43 |
| timmo123 | Lotuspsychje: I might try reinstall from USB since I think my laptop supports it | 02:43 |
| lotuspsychje | RonWhoCares: menu before 'help' and set to advanced | 02:44 |
| timmo123 | I can download it at the library or something | 02:44 |
| lotuspsychje | timmo123: you could try the 15.04 recoverymode/fix broken packages | 02:44 |
| RonWhoCares | lotuspsychje: A record button just showed up --- but it isn't clickable | 02:44 |
| lotuspsychje | RonWhoCares: ill let you think a bit now :p | 02:44 |
| timmo123 | Lotuspsychje: from the USB you mean? | 02:45 |
| timmo123 | Yeah that's a good idea | 02:45 |
| lotuspsychje | !recovery | timmo123 | 02:45 |
| ubottu | timmo123: If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode | 02:45 |
| lotuspsychje | VictoriaXOXO: im not into iptables sorry, maybe the ##networking guys or #ubuntu-server have more experience? | 02:47 |
| VictoriaXOXO | lotuspsychje: Okay. :) | 02:47 |
| === Guest24441 is now known as Tristan-Speccy | ||

| Guest_ | is there someone her that can help me with an install error. When i get to the part of the install where Grub is supposed to be installed it gives me The machine has Windows 7 already on the drive and i want to dual boot fatal error. t | 02:56 |
| futurama140 | anyone have experience with running old games in wine? | 02:56 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | Guest_ did you resize your Windows partition? | 02:57 |
| futurama140 | im trying to run kings quest 1 and 2 remake in wine but nomatter what i do the resolution is 320x200 | 02:57 |
| VictoriaXOXO | (I've asked in netfilter, networking, and ubuntu-server, but no one knows?) Q: Hello! How do I FULLY disable ICMP timestamp requests and responses on my Ubuntu 14.04 box? :) | 02:57 |
| Guest_ | I resized the windows partition in windows SeriouslyLaugh by using shrink volume | 02:58 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | VictoriaXOXO try this? http://www.unix.com/linux/11290-linux-icmp-timestamp-requests.html | 02:58 |
| lotuspsychje | futurama140: did you try playonlinux? | 02:58 |
| daftykins | VictoriaXOXO: you realise ICMP is only possible on the same network right... | 02:58 |
| somsip | VictoriaXOXO: do you mean this? http://serverfault.com/questions/47269/how-to-disable-responses-to-ping | 02:58 |
| futurama140 | nope. have no clue how to get that working. | 02:58 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | Guest_ are you getting a fatal error? i think your original question got cut off | 02:58 |
| lotuspsychje | !info playonlinux | futurama140 sudo apt-get install playonlinux | 02:59 |
| ubottu | futurama140 sudo apt-get install playonlinux: playonlinux (source: playonlinux): front-end for Wine. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 4.2.6-1 (wily), package size 957 kB, installed size 3241 kB | 02:59 |
| Guest_ | SeriouslyLaugh: yeah it says that it is a fatal error | 02:59 |
| OerHeks | futurama140, that old game was that resolution http://kingsquest.wikia.com/wiki/AGI | 02:59 |
| OerHeks | :-D | 02:59 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | Guest_ do you happen to have any more information on the error? like are you able to type exactly what it says? | 02:59 |
| VictoriaXOXO | SeriouslyLaugh: I've read that thread, but it's from 2003 and the more updated ones are all using different methods. Hmm. | 02:59 |
| VictoriaXOXO | daftykins: What do you mean? | 02:59 |
| somsip | VictoriaXOXO: and the one I pasted from ubuntu with lots of upvotes? | 03:00 |
| VictoriaXOXO | somsip: Yes, well, I've seen like 83 different variations of that text line. | 03:00 |
| futurama140 | yea i know, but 320x200 is the size of like 4 icons togethr on my screen i need to scale it up so i can actually see it | 03:00 |
| somsip | VictoriaXOXO: did any of them work? | 03:00 |
| Ben64 | VictoriaXOXO: iptables -A INPUT -p icmp -i eth0 -j DROP | 03:00 |
| Guest_ | SeriouslyLaugh: it says "Executing 'Grub-Install /dev/sda' failed thats it | 03:00 |
| VictoriaXOXO | somsip: Well, I don't know which one to test. I don't even know how to check for ICMP requests after trying one of them. XD | 03:01 |
| daftykins | VictoriaXOXO: if you're behind a NAT router, only devices on your local network can hit your host with ICMP queries. | 03:01 |
| Ben64 | VictoriaXOXO: then why do you want to block them? | 03:01 |
| daftykins | Ben64: paranoid user that reads things then instantly wants to stop them, happened a lot in the last week or so | 03:01 |
| somsip | VictoriaXOXO: test them all, figure out why you're doing what you're doing otherwise the whole point is moot. | 03:01 |
| VictoriaXOXO | daftykins: This one has nothing to do with paranoia. | 03:01 |
| Ben64 | "If you don't know what it's for, don't mess with it" is my philosophy | 03:02 |
| daftykins | VictoriaXOXO: oh, do tell | 03:02 |
| VictoriaXOXO | Ben64: So if a dentist suggests something to you under an operation, and you don't know what it means, you decline? XD | 03:02 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | sorry, how is this ubuntu related? | 03:02 |
| Guest_ | SeriouslyLaugh: was that for me? | 03:03 |
| Ben64 | in that scenario, the dentist is messing with it, and I'd hope he knows what it's for | 03:03 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | no | 03:03 |
| somsip | SeriouslyLaugh: the original query was, but you're right - theory and reasoning is off topic | 03:03 |
| VictoriaXOXO | daftykins: http://pastebin.com/RbVRmRqn | 03:03 |
| Ben64 | VictoriaXOXO: doesn't answer the "why?" | 03:03 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | Guest_ I don't have any personal experience with that error, but googling it gave me a few forums where people had a similar error and some people posted replies to help them solve it | 03:03 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | i can't vouch for any of these links but here is one: http://askubuntu.com/questions/459620/unable-to-install-grub-in-dev-sda-when-installing-grub | 03:04 |
| VictoriaXOXO | Ben64: You never follow recommendations from the people that wrote the software you want to use? | 03:04 |
| Ben64 | VictoriaXOXO: and turning icmp off on your computer won't affect your router at all | 03:04 |
| daftykins | VictoriaXOXO: who provided this... | 03:04 |
| VictoriaXOXO | daftykins: https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Pre_Install_Advice#Linux | 03:05 |
| daftykins | Ben64: i think this is more for a VPN VictoriaXOXO uses, again from the paranoia angle | 03:05 |
| VictoriaXOXO | daftykins: Nothing to do with a VPN. | 03:05 |
| VictoriaXOXO | Stop spreading FUD. | 03:05 |
| daftykins | fact. | 03:05 |
| VictoriaXOXO | I just proved you 100% wrong. Lol. | 03:05 |
| daftykins | then as i say, ICMP doesn't leap past the router | 03:06 |
| somsip | VictoriaXOXO: and whonix has it's own IRC channel so ask there https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Support | 03:06 |
| VictoriaXOXO | daftykins: Oh, you always know best. :) | 03:06 |
| VictoriaXOXO | somsip: Okay. :) | 03:06 |
| daftykins | well, i understand what ICMP is if that's what you mean... | 03:06 |
| timmo123 | Hi lotuspsychje update | 03:09 |
| lotuspsychje | timmo123: did you got in? | 03:09 |
| timmo123 | I followed the recovery mode guide and I now have a terminal open | 03:09 |
| lotuspsychje | timmo123: from the recoverymode you should choose 'fix broken packages' not the terminal | 03:10 |
| timmo123 | Oh, well it didn't quite happen the way the page said | 03:11 |
| daftykins | lotuspsychje: quick disk remount as rw first, no? :) | 03:11 |
| daftykins | <-- hasn't been following so feel free to ignore | 03:11 |
| timmo123 | After I chose the recovery mode option it just booted me into terminal | 03:11 |
| AcidRain | i have a linksys wifi adapter, its not showing up in ifconfig. but it is listed in lsusb | 03:11 |
| AcidRain | how can i solve this issue? | 03:11 |
| lotuspsychje | daftykins: he upgraded trusty to 15.04 somehow, we testing if we can repair before clean :p | 03:12 |
| syeekick | www.pastebin.com/2a9M0Hhd I removed open ssh totally with apt-get purge and i still get this "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host" error. I've tried googling but it keeps pointing to the same resoultion which simply does not work. Can someone help me please | 03:12 |
| lotuspsychje | timmo123: reboot again into the recovery and try 'fix broken packages' its an option | 03:12 |
| syeekick | its over a local network and im trying to ssh to my ubuntu machine | 03:12 |
| timmo123 | Ok I'll try it again | 03:13 |
| daftykins | syeekick: your ~/.ssh will have remained. | 03:13 |
| lotuspsychje | AcidRain: sudo lshw -C network shows driver= ? | 03:13 |
| syeekick | i figured purge would of got rid of them too :-( | 03:13 |
| lotuspsychje | AcidRain: ubuntu version? | 03:14 |
| AcidRain | lotuspsychje, im on kali | 03:15 |
| timmo123 | So first I hit shift which put me into the grub menu, then I selected advanced options, then recovery mode, then there's loading, then it asks for the passphrase to decrypt the disk (I have disk encryption), after that it loads daemons services etc | 03:15 |
| lotuspsychje | !kali | AcidRain | 03:15 |
| ubottu | AcidRain: Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu itself, as other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) | 03:15 |
| AcidRain | :/ | 03:15 |
| timmo123 | Some fail to load, most load ok | 03:15 |
| lotuspsychje | timmo123: why did you upgrade to 15.04 exactly? | 03:16 |
| RonWhoCares | I am getting a VLC error in the video An Error Occurred Could not demuliplex stream' | 03:17 |
| lotuspsychje | RonWhoCares: after doing what | 03:17 |
| RonWhoCares | lotuspsychje: Trying to record a video | 03:17 |
| RonWhoCares | Then I was playing back the video | 03:18 |
| timmo123 | Now it's at the login prompt | 03:18 |
| lotuspsychje | RonWhoCares: you have the right graphics drivers enabled? | 03:18 |
| RonWhoCares | lotuspsychje: I honestly don't know. | 03:18 |
| lotuspsychje | RonWhoCares: you can check perhaps | 03:18 |
| timmo123 | Nothing came up with a fix broken packages option | 03:18 |
| syeekick | yeah still no luck | 03:19 |
| syeekick | i don't know what im doing :( | 03:19 |
| RonWhoCares | lotuspsychje: I am able to play other videos; just not what is recorded through VLC | 03:19 |
| timmo123 | Lotuspsychje: the machine hadn't been updated in a while, it prompted for an update to 15.04 along with other updates, I said yes | 03:19 |
| RonWhoCares | lotuspsychje: Yes, the correct graphic driver is enabled | 03:21 |
| lotuspsychje | timmo123: then you was on 14.10? | 03:21 |
| timmo123 | No, I was on 14.04, pretty sure | 03:21 |
| daftykins | RonWhoCares: install mediainfo and run it with "mediainfo -all <your file>" then put that in a paste on http://paste.ubuntu.com | 03:22 |
| lotuspsychje | timmo123: did you see options like these: http://www.hecticgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/recovery-mode-options-in-Ubuntu-12.04.jpg | 03:22 |
| timmo123 | No, nothing like that | 03:22 |
| timmo123 | That menu never came up | 03:22 |
| lotuspsychje | RonWhoCares: do you play them with vlc | 03:22 |
| timmo123 | It went straight from selecting recovery mode in grub to login | 03:22 |
| lotuspsychje | timmo123: if recoverymode cant get you in, i strongly advise you clean install mate | 03:23 |
| timmo123 | Is there a way I can run it from that terminal? | 03:23 |
| lotuspsychje | timmo123: you can try several things like updating your system to latest | 03:23 |
| RonWhoCares | lotuspsychje: Yes, I am able to play videos through VLC | 03:24 |
| lotuspsychje | timmo123: sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade, see if that brings you further | 03:24 |
| lotuspsychje | RonWhoCares: but not the ones you recorded? | 03:24 |
| timmo123 | Ok, I'll try that | 03:24 |
| RonWhoCares | lotuspsychje: Correct | 03:25 |
| lotuspsychje | RonWhoCares: what extension the video have? .mkv? | 03:25 |
| RonWhoCares | lotuspsychje: It has come up with .avi | 03:26 |
| syeekick | is there a way i can reset my ssh config files to default? | 03:26 |
| lotuspsychje | RonWhoCares: try what daftykins suggested | 03:26 |
| daftykins | .avi is a video container format, it provides no indication of the codecs used within for audio and video - thus the mediainfo output is needed. | 03:26 |
| daftykins | syeekick: rename .ssh to .sshold | 03:27 |
| RonWhoCares | lotuspsychje: I was working on this steps while answering your questions | 03:28 |
| RonWhoCares | daftykins: This is the paste http://paste.ubuntu.com/13499110/ | 03:28 |
| syeekick | mv /etc/ssh/ssh_config ssh_old will that do it? | 03:30 |
| daftykins | RonWhoCares: have you installed "ubuntu-restricted-extras" ? | 03:30 |
| RonWhoCares | no; I am now installing it | 03:31 |
| RonWhoCares | installed | 03:32 |
| RonWhoCares | daftykins: Done | 03:32 |
| daftykins | now close and reopen VLC and try playing the file again | 03:33 |
| daftykins | actually i don't know why i said that since VLC won't use what was installed :D | 03:33 |
| RonWhoCares | daftykins: I still have that same error. DO I need to reboot? | 03:33 |
| daftykins | no | 03:34 |
| daftykins | one moment | 03:34 |
| syeekick | daftykins, did you look at the paste bin? | 03:34 |
| daftykins | yes... | 03:34 |
| daftykins | syeekick: why did you have something to add? | 03:34 |
| syeekick | i don't see why im getting the same error after reinstalling ssh and deleting all configs | 03:36 |
| timmo123 | Lotuspsychje: no dice, it says network is unreachable for no reason I can figure out since it's weird | 03:37 |
| daftykins | syeekick: oh did you paste? didn't see one. "mv ~/.ssh ~/.sshold" . | 03:37 |
| timmo123 | Wired | 03:37 |
| timmo123 | Can't ping 4.4.4.4 | 03:37 |
| timmo123 | I'm gonna reinstall I think | 03:37 |
| lotuspsychje | timmo123: did you choose terminal with network support | 03:37 |
| timmo123 | Oh, that would be a reason | 03:37 |
| timmo123 | Again there were no options | 03:38 |
| daftykins | RonWhoCares: open a terminal and try "vlc --rawvid-fps 24 --rawvid-width 640 --rawvid-height 480 --rawvid-chroma I422 ~/Videos/Webcam/vlc-record-2015-11-24-22h16m02s-v4l2____dev_video0-.avi" | 03:38 |
| lotuspsychje | timmo123: right, clean install and make your life easy | 03:38 |
| timmo123 | After I selected recovery mode it dumped me into a terminal | 03:38 |
| timmo123 | Yeah | 03:38 |
| lotuspsychje | timmo123: and make the right choice between lts or non-lts | 03:38 |
| timmo123 | Thanks for the help | 03:38 |
| HackerII | go for 15.10 | 03:38 |
| syeekick | http://pastebin.com/2a9M0Hhd yeah this paste bin < | 03:38 |
| HackerII | it rox | 03:38 |
| lotuspsychje | timmo123: you never told me why you moved from 14.04? | 03:38 |
| timmo123 | Well it probably would have been fine if the machine had been used | 03:39 |
| Abe | hello I have a little problem. youtube does not work fullscreen anymore. it's in a wrong resolution since a new firefox update. It now looks like this http://www0.xup.in/exec/ximg.php?fid=89243075 have the html5 player | 03:39 |
| Bashing-om | timmo123: Networking : ' systemctl enable NetworkManager.service ; systemctl start NetworkManager.service ' . | 03:39 |
| daftykins | syeekick: oh you've messed with /etc/ssh/ssh_config huh? it's pointing at line 19... i suggest you... look at line 19. | 03:39 |
| timmo123 | Lotuspsychje: I haven't used the machine in maybe a year, I'm used to .04 being lts and .10 volatile | 03:40 |
| daftykins | LTS is only every 2 years :) 14.04 + 16.04 | 03:40 |
| timmo123 | It prompted me for a ton of updates including 15.04, I figured it was the next lts and hit yes for all | 03:40 |
| syeekick | yeah it says host | 03:40 |
| daftykins | syeekick: that's useless to me | 03:40 |
| RonWhoCares | daftykins: That works. | 03:41 |
| daftykins | RonWhoCares: \o/ | 03:41 |
| daftykins | audio too? | 03:41 |
| RonWhoCares | Yes | 03:41 |
| daftykins | RonWhoCares: may i ask what webcam created this? | 03:41 |
| daftykins | and what application | 03:41 |
| RonWhoCares | The web cam is the built in HP G61 | 03:42 |
| daftykins | mmhmm | 03:42 |
| RonWhoCares | The video was made by VLC Media Player | 03:42 |
| daftykins | ah ok | 03:42 |
| daftykins | oh of course, the file name *facepalm* | 03:42 |
| daftykins | 'raw' is definitely a bad choice :) | 03:42 |
| RonWhoCares | What would you suggest I use | 03:42 |
| timmo123 | Bashing-om: no such file or directory | 03:42 |
| daftykins | RonWhoCares: i don't have a clue what VLC offers you | 03:43 |
| syeekick | ahh shit | 03:43 |
| daftykins | syeekick: inappropriate language | 03:43 |
| syeekick | sorry about that | 03:43 |
| syeekick | im looking through my bash history and it seems i put "rm -r ssh/"as one of my commands out of frustration | 03:44 |
| daftykins | well ssh/ isn't a path | 03:44 |
| syeekick | seems my /etc/ssh directory has gone | 03:45 |
| Bashing-om | timmo123: 15.04 init is systemd .. those are systemd commands to start networking .. recon you are still on upstart ? | 03:46 |
| daftykins | syeekick: "dpkg -l | grep ssh | nc termbin.com 9999" | 03:47 |
| timmo123 | It said 15.04 when booting, but it's in recovery mode with a maybe failed upgrade from 14.04 to 15.04 | 03:47 |
| Bashing-om | timmo123: ' ps -p1 | grep systemd && echo systemd || echo upstart ' see if you are now systemd or upstart . | 03:48 |
| timmo123 | You're right, it says upstart | 03:49 |
| timmo123 | Hah | 03:50 |
| syeekick | i put that and it says http://terminbin.com/act4 | 03:50 |
| timmo123 | I found an old install disk that I think is 14.04 | 03:50 |
| timmo123 | I'm gonna try it | 03:50 |
| Bashing-om | timmo123: I realy think best at this time to do a clean fresh install .. as you failed to make the translation of the system over to systemd . BUT I could be wrong . | 03:51 |
| timmo123 | Bashing-om: Yeah fair enough | 03:51 |
| timmo123 | I didn't think I had an install disk before but turns out I did i think | 03:51 |
| daftykins | syeekick: "sudo apt-get purge openssh-client openssh-server openssh-sftp-server && sudo apt-get clean" then ensure /etc/ssh/ is empty; then reinstall them | 03:52 |
| syeekick | E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code 1 | 03:54 |
| syeekick | wait i'll get a screen shot | 03:55 |
| daftykins | syeekick: no, we don't screenshot text... we pastebin it | 03:56 |
| daftykins | though imgur may have popularised images of text being the norm, it's wrong ;) | 03:56 |

| syeekick | ok /etc/ssh is empty but looking at the output of that command it seems nothing was removed or uninstalled | 04:04 |
| daftykins | syeekick: you know, such situations are easy - you see the part where it fails so you just satisfy those issues then re-run. | 04:04 |
| daftykins | so what's it saying? /etc/ssh doesn't exist... so i'd create it | 04:05 |
| daftykins | that will satisfy the removal script | 04:05 |
| === strictlyb is now known as sb | ||
| k1l_ | workaround: just create a /etc/ssh/ | 04:05 |
| syeekick | ok so mkdir /etc/ssh | 04:06 |

| daftykins | "opeen ssh-server" | 04:14 |
| syeekick | its gone | 04:14 |
| daftykins | ah just your type up i guess :P | 04:14 |
| daftykins | ok don't forget the "apt-get clean" | 04:14 |
| syeekick | ok sweet | 04:14 |
| syeekick | im on track | 04:14 |
| syeekick | ok they are all installed and still getting the same error on my client box | 04:18 |
| daftykins | right but you're meant to move the ~/.ssh on the client end right | 04:19 |
| syeekick | oh i did that on the server end | 04:19 |
| daftykins | :D | 04:20 |

| syeekick | well that told us | 04:23 |
| syeekick | daftykins thanks for all your help | 04:25 |
| daftykins | working? | 04:25 |
| syeekick | no but i can't bug you anymore it's not fair | 04:25 |
| daftykins | well at least provide a fresh pastebin so someone knows | 04:26 |
| daftykins | +what to work with | 04:26 |

| McPeter | syeekick, what problem ? (if i can help) | 04:32 |
| Valfor | hey guys, after performing an upgrade from ubuntu 15.04 -> 15.10, during the upgrade (and since), any pip3 installs crash, as well as apt-get commands, with a KeyError:'_convert' in enum34 as per http://paste.ubuntu.com/13499615/ | 04:32 |
| Valfor | I've tried reinstalling relevant packages, tried install enum with pip, tried reinstalling pip, etc. Does anyone have any further suggestions? I'd appreciate it :) | 04:33 |
| daftykins | Valfor: i'd boot live media, chroot into your install and then dpkg-reconfigure -a | 04:34 |
| Valfor | daftykins: no worries, I'll check it out - thanks | 04:35 |
| Valfor | wasn't sure if it was a conflict 3.4 and 3.5 conflict | 04:35 |
| Valfor | python 3.4, and 3.5 ** | 04:35 |
| daftykins | does look like it's complaining over that a bit | 04:35 |
| Valfor | I'll try it out and see how we go :) I was thinking of removing 3.4, and just going with 3.5 | 04:35 |
| syeekick | http://pastebin.com/2a9M0Hhd this is the problem that occurs when i run ssh in verbose mode | 04:35 |
| Valfor | but it was gonna remove so many other things :P haha | 04:35 |
| syeekick | i tired reinstalling and using default config files too | 04:36 |
| daftykins | McPeter: ^ | 04:36 |
| daftykins | ssh'ing as root is definitely blargh =| | 04:37 |

| syeekick | that wont work either | 04:38 |

| SentientTootsieR | Hey All. I'm running a teamspeak 3 server and I got it up and running originally and everything was fine. Since I want the server to execute on startup, I added a crontab -e entry for it. Not, it says the server is running but I can't connect to it for some reason. Any ideas? | 05:10 |
| SentientTootsieR | Now* | 05:10 |
| twank | can ya ping it? | 05:11 |
| SentientTootsieR | Yeah | 05:11 |
| SentientTootsieR | I can connect to the http server no problem | 05:11 |
| twank | maybe something missing from the cron job? | 05:12 |
| twank | what happens if you delete the crom job? | 05:12 |
| SentientTootsieR | I was able to connect to the ts3 server earlier, no i cant suddenly.. hold on, i'll post what I put in the crontab thing | 05:12 |
| twank | kk | 05:12 |
| SentientTootsieR | @reboot /var/ts/teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64/ts3server_startscript.sh start | 05:12 |
| daftykins | is this from their own docs of how to do it? | 05:13 |
| SentientTootsieR | not sure if var is a good place to put it, but i figured it would be | 05:13 |
| SentientTootsieR | kinda.. http://forum.teamspeak.com/threads/67834-How-To-install-TeamSpeak-3-0-0-Server-CentOS | 05:13 |
| SentientTootsieR | it says centos, but there's a section for debian based distros | 05:14 |
| daftykins | check the server is listening with "netstat -tuln" | 05:14 |
| SentientTootsieR | i see tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:30033 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN | 05:14 |

| SentientTootsieR | here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13499906/ | 05:16 |
| SentientTootsieR | hmm, let me check something | 05:16 |
| SentientTootsieR | yeah, thats why i love ubuntu. so many helpful people ;) | 05:16 |
| SentientTootsieR | like you guys, lol | 05:16 |
| daftykins | twank: we can fix that too ;) | 05:16 |
| SentientTootsieR | i see some of the ts3 ports listed, but not all. for example, voice uses port 9987, but it's not listed. i see 3033 which IS a ts3 port and it's lasted. how confusing :O | 05:17 |
| SentientTootsieR | listed* | 05:18 |
| daftykins | so your client should have connection logs | 05:18 |
| SentientTootsieR | it was working a moment ago | 05:18 |
| daftykins | kill the ts process then invoke that script manually to test | 05:18 |
| SentientTootsieR | it's saying that it started, but crashed and i need to find a ts log file... hold on | 05:21 |
| daftykins | you did kill the existing first right? if you didn't they'll be port binding errors. | 05:21 |
| SentientTootsieR | yeah, i did "kill 681", 681 being the proccess i believe | 05:22 |
| SentientTootsieR | suppose i could reboot just to be safe | 05:22 |
| SentientTootsieR | ok so i removed it from the cronjob and started it manually and it worked o_o | 05:26 |
| SentientTootsieR | and for some reason, i cant view the logs | 05:26 |
| Lope | where can I get a list of generally acceptable root CA's for my ubuntu openSSL installation | 05:29 |

| daftykins | packages.ubuntu.com <-- download them. | 06:09 |
| daftykins | snag all the deps too | 06:09 |
| lotuspsychje | nitish: you need to get online first to download something | 06:09 |
| nitish | lotspsychje: I can download with ms windows. | 06:10 |
| lotuspsychje | nitish: then see the url daftykins provided | 06:10 |
| nitish | lotuspsychje: I've unlimited bandwidth access in ms windows but limited in ubuntu. | 06:10 |
| nitish | where? | 06:10 |
| lotuspsychje | nitish: scroll up | 06:11 |
| daftykins | limited bandwidth per OS o0 wat | 06:11 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 06:11 |
| nitish | lotspsychje: there is no scroll up option. :( | 06:12 |
| SentientTootsieR | nit, what version of ubunt are you running? | 06:12 |
| daftykins | there always is | 06:12 |
| goddard | one of my USB ports isn't recognized. | 06:12 |
| daftykins | grep your dmesg for any "hci" errors | 06:12 |
| joeytwiddle | i don't think it's that easy to get all the dependencies for wine while you are in windows. it will depend what you have already installed on your Ubuntu. | 06:13 |
| daftykins | it's easy with the packages.ubuntu.com page | 06:13 |
| dionysus69 | hello everyone, I am troubleshooting hibernation with sudo program running, so I noticed that if I leave sudo program running and hibernate, the system hangs on resume. The reason I have sudo program running is I am accessing raw disk using virtualbox, it is a vmdk file couple KB big pointing to the whole SSD. how can I change permissions in order to use that vmdk file without sudo? It needed to be created using sudo so if I chown to the curr | 06:14 |
| SentientTootsieR | yeah it's right here: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages | 06:14 |
| SentientTootsieR | you just have to search by your ubuntu version | 06:14 |
| joeytwiddle | recursively! | 06:14 |
| daftykins | and grab all deps | 06:14 |
| nitish | How can I run 32-bit application from my 64-bit system? | 06:15 |
| joeytwiddle | if i was nitish i would get VirtualBox and use that to boot up Ubuntu, and do the install while still in Windows/AOL | 06:15 |
| daftykins | like what | 06:15 |
| daftykins | joeytwiddle: lot more work for a simple task | 06:15 |
| daftykins | i'd fix the ubuntu wireless driver so there's no 'bandwidth' problem myself ;) | 06:15 |
| SentientTootsieR | dion, i dont believe you can change permission on a file without sudo | 06:16 |
| joeytwiddle | nitish, install ia32-libs (and maybe ia32-libs-gtk and ia32-libs-sdl) | 06:16 |

| Flechas | Hey guys, quick question. Long story short, I'd like to know how can I revert to Nouveau from recovery. from the command line. Basically i'd like to try to switch to nvidia proprietary drivers and last time it wouldn't get past the purple screen. any way to boot into recovery and revert to Nouveau driver? | 06:18 |
| SentientTootsieR | joey, try "dpkg --add-architecture i386" firsty | 06:18 |
| SentientTootsieR | first* | 06:18 |
| lotuspsychje | Flechas: recoverymode/fix broken packages can help | 06:18 |
| lotuspsychje | Flechas: or manually remove nvidia driver and reinstall nouveau | 06:19 |
| Flechas | but I can do all that from recovery, right? | 06:19 |
| daftykins | Flechas: sudo apt-get purge nvidia* | 06:19 |
| daftykins | done | 06:19 |
| lotuspsychje | Flechas: if things go right yes | 06:19 |
| Flechas | I'll google how to do that. Basically I want to try all the different drivers and see which one works best, but last time I tried, I couldn't find a way aroaund. eded up reinstallind. that takes too long :P | 06:20 |
| daftykins | what card do you have? | 06:20 |
| lotuspsychje | Flechas: ubuntu version and card chipset? | 06:20 |
| daftykins | version chasing is pretty pointless | 06:20 |
| Flechas | there might be something else to the problem as well. I'm dualbooting osx and ubuntu | 06:21 |

| raspberrypifan | futurama140: | 06:22 |
| SentientTootsieR | could be some propietary apple bs interfering | 06:22 |
| Flechas | naaa, just dualbooting with Refind | 06:22 |
| OerHeks | SentientTootsieR this is wrong > joey, try "dpkg --add-architecture i386" as ubuntu is already multiarch | 06:22 |
| futurama140 | oi. i have no idea if my question even posted because i keep getting DCed | 06:22 |
| SentientTootsieR | Then maybe he needs to add something to the repository? | 06:22 |
| Flechas | also, its a mid 2010 and the GPU messes up with the logicboard already in osx. thats why I installed ubuntu. couldn't take the crashes anymore :P | 06:22 |
| joeytwiddle | maybe you don't want to use hardware accelerated drivers at all! | 06:23 |
| futurama140 | i hope this isnt spamming | 06:24 |
| Flechas | thats correct as well. maybe I don't. it just adds new pretty features :P | 06:24 |
| Flechas | it would be nice. just want to try and revert easy | 06:24 |
| joeytwiddle | futurama140, none of us can hear you :( | 06:24 |
| joeytwiddle | futurama140, j/k. we didn't see your odd issue, just that you had one ;) | 06:24 |

| futurama140 | im in a hotel, and using a laptop with 14.04 and a monopiece wireless N adapter | 06:25 |
| futurama140 | my wifi is intermitent at best | 06:25 |
| futurama140 | the router is a netgear home router ssid: NETGEAR60 and is located probably 50 feet away | 06:25 |
| futurama140 | when i try plugging the usb wifi into a usb extension cord it will not connect to the network at all. | 06:25 |
| futurama140 | neither the pie tin parabolic antenna nor a pringles cantenna are boosting my signal at all, most likely because i just get no connection period when the wifi is on a usb extension | 06:25 |
| futurama140 | anyone have any idea why im getting any of these problems? | 06:25 |
| SentientTootsieR | woah | 06:25 |
| joeytwiddle | that is spamming though. the bot says so! | 06:25 |
| SentientTootsieR | yeah looks like your hotel's shitty wifi can't transmit anything quickly enough | 06:25 |

| daftykins | speed has nothing to do with signal. | 06:26 |
| Flechas | now it would be nice to use the extra features of the GPU | 06:26 |
| joeytwiddle | oooh there was a command i used to send to our dodgy WiFi USB to tell it to draw less power | 06:26 |
| futurama140 | is there any way to work around this? | 06:26 |
| daftykins | less power is just going to make the signal weaker ¬_¬ | 06:26 |
| daftykins | yes buy a better adapter | 06:27 |
| daftykins | Flechas: not sure if so ancient a chip can be used with prime, you'll need nvidia-331 or newer with nvidia-prime installed | 06:27 |
| SentientTootsieR | it might. have you used public wifi? it sucks | 06:27 |
| Flechas | something like that I've been reading online. yessss | 06:27 |
| joeytwiddle | daftykins, in our case it stopped the device from failing altogether | 06:27 |
| futurama140 | i tried increasing the power to the usb wifi to "30" (whatever that means) but the hardware wont allow it | 06:28 |
| futurama140 | im having the same issues with my cyanogenmod nook tablet as well. | 06:28 |
| daftykins | sounds more like you're talking about disabling power management, not reducing power | 06:28 |
| daftykins | futurama140: move room... | 06:28 |
| daftykins | i really don't see how anything OS based can do anything for you | 06:28 |
| SentientTootsieR | ask the front desk person to reset the router? | 06:28 |
| futurama140 | daftykins: yea i wish | 06:29 |
| joeytwiddle | futurama140, i think this was the command we used. try out less imo. http://askubuntu.com/questions/328418/how-to-increase-power-of-wifi-adapter | 06:29 |

| SentientTootsieR | if it's anecdotal, is it really evidence? | 06:30 |

| Apteryx | daftykins: I used the domain name | 06:31 |
| daftykins | you mean host name? | 06:32 |
| Apteryx | But I did try using the IP, and got the same error. I'll try again just to make sure. | 06:32 |
| Apteryx | daftykins: yes, sorry, host name. | 06:32 |
| SentientTootsieR | Would \\hostname\folder work? | 06:32 |
| SentientTootsieR | just a guess | 06:32 |
| Apteryx | SentientTootsieR: Actually I have no choice to use a folder, because the root is restricted. | 06:32 |

| daftykins | you have to create a registry key called LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy and set it to '1' on win7+ to allow users to auth remotely against admin shares such as host/c$ | 06:33 |
| daftykins | not that i've memorised that or anything... *whistle* | 06:34 |
| Apteryx | daftykins: OK, but this is a corporate network, I cannot change the settings freely :) | 06:34 |
| Apteryx | daftykins: the strange thing is I could connect using smbclient. | 06:34 |
| daftykins | how come you're file sharing then o0 | 06:34 |
| daftykins | well you could just mount it via CLI | 06:35 |
| Apteryx | daftykins: What do you mean. The drive is there. I'm supposed to be able to access it as long as I have valid credentials. I don't think I read I had to use Windows exclusively to access it anywhere. | 06:35 |
| daftykins | sudo mount -t cifs //IP/share /mnt -o username=blah,password=blah,iocharset=utf8 | 06:35 |
| daftykins | sudo mount -t cifs //IP/share /mnt -o username=blah,password=blah,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000 | 06:36 |
| daftykins | :D | 06:36 |
| daftykins | ah well it's your job not mine :> | 06:36 |
| Apteryx | haha, OK, let me try that. But do you know what Nautilus is doing under the hood? I'd like to understand why it fails... I'm not even sure what logs it would output to. | 06:37 |
| futurama140 | no way to make my wifi better then, eh? | 06:37 |
| daftykins | futurama140: doubt it's the OS's fault | 06:37 |
| daftykins | move room or buy a better adapter | 06:37 |
| daftykins | Apteryx: does nautilus even get as far as prompting for login details? | 06:38 |
| Apteryx | daftykins: yes | 06:39 |
| daftykins | and you enter DOMAIN\username and password? | 06:39 |
| Apteryx | daftykins: There is a field for DOMAIN, so yes, I enter it. | 06:39 |
| daftykins | and you could run nautilus from the terminal to see error output | 06:40 |
| Apteryx | daftykins: that's a good idea | 06:40 |
| Apteryx | Let me try these 2 things... I'll have to quit irc for a couple minutes. | 06:40 |
| Apteryx | Thanks for the help if I don't see you again :) | 06:41 |
| daftykins | it's pretty much law you have to report back! | 06:41 |
| daftykins | :P | 06:41 |
| Apteryx | daftykins: hehe alright :) | 06:41 |
| imran_ | hi | 06:54 |

| Skrank | yeah, its to early in the morning yet i guess | 07:41 |
| futurama140 | hey, how do i install an... uh tar.zx file? | 07:44 |
| Ignaz | good morning :-) | 07:46 |
| futurama140 | hey, how do i install an... uh tar.zx file? | 07:46 |
| Ignaz | someone know if is possible to set the "noatime" attribute not for a partiton but for a directory? | 07:47 |
| Ignaz | futurama140, you must expand the .zx file | 07:47 |
| Ignaz | its something like tar.gz | 07:47 |
| OpenSorce | Does Ubuntu not let me select the default sound device on my machine natively? | 07:47 |
| Ignaz | tar xvfJ filename.tar.xz | 07:47 |
| Abe | well tar is something like an compressed rar or zip file | 07:47 |
| rogger_h | Hello, anyone free? | 07:47 |
| futurama140 | ignaz: its expanded. what do i do with all the files and folders in it? | 07:47 |
| AnakinSky | rogger_h, what's up? | 07:48 |
| futurama140 | whats the difference between a tar.zx and tar.gx ? | 07:48 |
| OpenSorce | AnakinSky, you're not on IRC as root are you? :-P | 07:48 |
| Ignaz | futurama140, not sure which programm installation it is but i think this is helpfull --> https://robots.thoughtbot.com/the-magic-behind-configure-make-make-install | 07:48 |
| rogger_h | im looking for sys admin | 07:49 |
| Ignaz | .xz has a another compressing | 07:49 |
| futurama140 | do both work in ubuntu? | 07:49 |
| Ignaz | not sure at the moment but i guess it was better for binfiles | 07:49 |
| OpenSorce | rogger_h, of this irc network? You'll want to look in #freenode | 07:49 |
| AnakinSky | OpenSorce, oh wait.. :P | 07:49 |
| rogger_h | but here are all the linux specialists | 07:50 |
| rogger_h | why would i go to #freenode | 07:50 |
| OpenSorce | rogger_h, that's why I asked if you are looking for an admin of this network or not :-) | 07:51 |
| Ignaz | my question again - someone know if is possible to set the "noatime" attribute not for a partiton but for a directory? | 07:51 |
| rogger_h | OpenSorce: lol I mean Sys Admin | 07:54 |
| rogger_h | linux specialist | 07:55 |
| AnakinSky | OpenSorce, effed up config file.. :P | 07:55 |
| AnakinSky | corrected | 07:55 |
| rogger_h | that can help me with myserver (for payment) | 07:55 |
| rogger_h | or free , what ever he/she decide | 07:55 |
| OpenSorce | AnakinSky, cool. Just didn't want you to get compromised. If you're logged into your machine as root right now it would be bad news. | 07:56 |
| AnakinSky | OpenSorce, nope.. it's just the config.. :) thanks for noticing | 07:57 |
| OpenSorce | AnakinSky, no worries :-) | 07:58 |

| futurama140 | how do i install files in a tar file? | 08:02 |
| kerdel | futurama140: tar is like a zip file | 08:02 |
| Kartagis | geirha: ls is aliased to `ls --color=auto' | 08:02 |
| OpenSorce | Now my question again, is Ubuntu not able to natively change the default audio output device? | 08:02 |
| kerdel | futurama140: u have to untar it first | 08:03 |

| VenomByte | futurama140: look here for info http://askubuntu.com/questions/25347/what-command-do-i-need-to-unzip-extract-a-tar-gz-file | 08:03 |
| OpenSorce | I mean I can edit files and reboot to get it done, but no way to do it on the fly? | 08:03 |
| geirha | Kartagis: Hm. Ok. Could also be mkdir is an alias or function that does something different, or it could be fd 1 (stdout) has been redirected elsewhere | 08:03 |
| futurama140 | yea i know. ive extracted the tar file. what do i do with the stuff in it? | 08:03 |
| VenomByte | futurama140: depends, what did u download? | 08:04 |
| Kartagis | geirha: mkdir is hashed (/bin/mkdir) | 08:04 |
| VenomByte | OpenSorce: yes you can switch audio output on the fly | 08:04 |
| VenomByte | OpenSorce: what are you trying to edit? | 08:04 |
| futurama140 | venombyte: CRDA and wireless-regdb | 08:05 |
| OpenSorce | VenomByte, how would I do that? I haven't found that functionality in Unity. | 08:05 |
| geirha | Kartagis: Hm. Then maybe the filesystem is the weird one out | 08:05 |
| OpenSorce | VenomByte, the editing comment was refering to using ALSA | 08:05 |
| imran_ | has any one over here replaced pulse audio with Alsa ? in 15.10 | 08:06 |
| VenomByte | futurama140: after you did extract the files can u see something like a install.sh or make file? | 08:08 |
| VenomByte | OpenSorce: I don't really get what you are trying, is it changing your output device or making edits to unity?? | 08:09 |
| futurama140 | venombyte: makefile | 08:09 |
| junhui | have a nice day guys! | 08:09 |
| OpenSorce | VenomByte, I want to be able to use my speakers when everyone is awake and switch to my USB headset when they go to sleep :-) | 08:10 |
| OpenSorce | VenomByte, forget the editing. | 08:10 |
| khildin | OpenSorce, I thought that is default behaviour? | 08:11 |
| Kartagis | geirha: it was probably because I accidentally overwrote on the partition using dd | 08:12 |
| OpenSorce | khildin, I want to manually change the default sound device. I keep the USB device plugged in because my default mic is going through it. | 08:13 |

| cfhowlett | ha1dfo, oh wait, chrome, not chromium | 08:25 |

| futurama140 | how do i install a makefile? | 08:48 |

| jedininjarob | do you know of any sorces for ubuntu voice to txt apps?/code | 08:57 |
| TJ- | futurama140: first of all start from the directory where the project is, secondly, the file is likely called "Makefile" not "makefile", 3rdly you may need to run 'automake' to create the Makefile from a 'Makefile.am', or if there's a 'Makefile.in' you'll need to use "./configure" ... if that doesn't exist you'll need to generate it with "autoconf" ... etc. etc. | 08:58 |
| geirha | rardo: Oh, odd. Ok then. | 08:58 |
| OerHeks | jedininjarob, such speech2text software is high on the wanted list. if you find something workable, let us know. | 08:58 |

| futurama140 | TJ-: not that i'm aware of. i figured if i can increase power to my wifi dongle i'll pick up signal better. as it is, my signal drops off intermitently and when i do have signal its super slow | 09:17 |
| futurama140 | http://pastebin.com/YCtThwgj | 09:18 |
| TJ- | futurama140: increasing Tx power isn't going to help if the problem is received signal strength | 09:18 |

| TJ- | futurama140: if the PC has intermittent reception problems, the root cause is likely either the location of the AP it is connecting to, or other APs/devices in the unlicensed frequency band causing interference - things like Wireless CCTV, Baby monitors, burglar alarms, microwave ovens, all use the same frequency band and don't have to cooperate | 09:23 |

| vooze | Hi, i'm trying to compile my "own" kernel, in order to apply this patch: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/423494/ - Following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - I have done all the steps until it says "patch kernel" but It only says: "read the instructions from the patch provider to learn how to apply it." but the patch does not say. Any ideas? :) | 10:56 |
| TJ- | futurama140: that's helpful. line 818 is an example of why its disassociating | 10:57 |
| futurama140 | TJ-: so is it something fixable? | 10:59 |
| TJ- | futurama140: now report this: "pastebinit <( iwconfig wlan0; sudo iwlist wlan0 scan )" | 10:59 |
| Pricey | vooze: `patch < the.patch` is usually a good start. | 11:00 |
| futurama140 | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13501573/ | 11:01 |
| vooze | Pricey, should I place the patch a specific place? like ~/kernel/linux-lts-wily-4.2.0/debian.master or something? or does that not matter? | 11:01 |
| Pricey | vooze: more important is that you run the command in the right directory. you can do `patch < /path/to/the.patch` | 11:02 |

| TJ- | futurama140: The good news is you don't appear to have other APs locally causing interference (although non-Wifi devices could be - microwaves, etc.). From lines 617/619 of the syslog pastebin I'd suspect the r8188eu dirver for the device is the cause. e.g. "r8188eu: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned." | 11:12 |
| futurama140 | TJ-: so what are my options for fixing it? | 11:13 |
| TJ- | futurama140: is the PC using 15.04 Vivid? | 11:14 |
| futurama140 | TJ-: 14.04 LTS | 11:14 |

| TJ- | futurama140: I just checked the kernel source; there have been 196 patches to the rtl8188eu code since v3.19 which is the kernel version currently installed. I'd suggest testing the system with either the 15.10 Wily v4.2 kernel, or a recent mainline kernel build | 11:17 |
| futurama140 | TJ-: how d i go about doing that? | 11:17 |
| vooze | Pricey, I can see /kernel/linux-lts-wily-4.2.0/drivers/rtc/class.c and /kernel/linux-lts-wily-4.2.0/include/linux/rtc.h like the patch says, but the patch is saying like a/ and b/ but I cant find those. You have an idea? | 11:17 |
| vooze | Pricey, like it says: diff --git a/drivers/rtc/class.c b/drivers/rtc/class.c | 11:18 |
| TJ- | vooze: from the base of the kernel source-code tree: "patch -p1 < path/to/patc/file.diff" | 11:18 |
| Pricey | vooze: ignore a & b, those are the before and after versions. As long as you're in the bit with the next part of the path it should work. | 11:19 |
| TJ- | vooze: "man patch" you'll see '-pX' strips off X path directory components | 11:19 |

| eahmedshendy | may be I am missing something | 11:23 |
| Pricey | vooze: That likely means your tree has been modified since the patch was authored. So what the patch suggests changing doesn't match up with what's already there. Resolution will likely require looking at the source and patch and applying manually. | 11:23 |

| vooze | Pricey, ah okay, I'll give it a try :) thanks for your help so far. | 11:24 |

| ddr_ | eric, already bootesd | 11:26 |
| Pricey | vooze: It will be the case, it may even be that that patch has already been applied and you're trying it a second time. If you use a vanilla kernel you will likely break features ubuntu relies upon. | 11:26 |

| wootehfoot | I can't find any information regarding this. The reason I want to do this is because I want to add anformation to the report. | 13:00 |
| wootehfoot | information* | 13:00 |
| wmorri | !bugtracker | wootehfoot | 13:02 |
| ubottu | wootehfoot: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 13:02 |
| TJ- | wootehfoot: if it does send a bug report it should open a web-browser window for you to add to it; it's likely there was already a bug report matching it, so it'd just me-too on that bug | 13:03 |
| wootehfoot | TJ-, thank you, this is the answer I was looking for. | 13:04 |
| wootehfoot | TJ-, the reason I wanted to add info on this bug is because this xorg crash triggers a relogin without the need for password. | 13:05 |
| wootehfoot | TJ-, that security concern can't be seen from the bug data alone | 13:05 |
| TJ- | wootehfoot: the system cannot login without a password. What can happen is the user session doesn't close and the X session greeter can hand over to the already-running user session | 13:06 |
| futurama140 | anyone have experience with wine here? | 13:07 |
| wootehfoot | TJ-, you're telling me the xorg crashed, and triggered an immediate handover? | 13:07 |
| wootehfoot | (without the need to fully logout?) | 13:07 |
| TJ- | wootehfoot: the greeter runs as the root user, but a login session starts once the password is authenticated. It is possible for the X server user session to crash but the login session to remain, so rather like when you repeatedly 'sudo ...' the password is only needed the first time | 13:11 |

| AtuM | ikonia, some "official" aka "supported" way to integrate should be possible with a wizzard.. things can be built on top of that later | 13:14 |

| futurama140 | i'm trying to run a game called king's quest 1 remake through wine, and the game i set to run on the virtual desktop, and either way I run the game, it's set to a resolution of 320x200, and there is no option to change the resolution in the settings. is there some way to scale up the resolution? | 13:24 |
| Promille | futurama140 - you could also try #winehq . more chance of getting an answer | 13:25 |
| futurama140 | promille: ok thanks | 13:25 |
| frostschutz | futurama140, there is a remake? for the original you should probably use scummvm http://www.scummvm.org/screenshots/agi/kq/ | 13:26 |
| AtuM | ikonia, true.. but some sort of basic integration would be nice. I'm doing a class on how to do this, so I will explain the basics on how things work.. I will then have to say that integration is a project, not a procedure. | 13:27 |
| AtuM | ikonia, as you know, windows ppl expect it to be "a procedure" :) | 13:28 |

| hrobi123 | hi | 14:16 |
| hrobi123 | I'm using the graphics driver ppa to support my GTX 970 | 14:16 |
| hrobi123 | I noticed they now have newer drivers, nvidia-358 vs my current nvidia-352 | 14:17 |
| hrobi123 | I wanted to give it a try... do I first have to purge my current nvidia install? | 14:17 |
| hrobi123 | or is it ok simply to install the never driver? | 14:17 |
| mcphail | hrobi123: usually the old driver will be removed automatically. I assume the ppa will have the dependencies set up to do that, but you never really know with PPAs | 14:18 |
| ikonia | hrobi123: is there an ubuntu package for the newer drivers ? | 14:19 |
| hrobi123 | ikonia: ehm this is not canonical drivers, no. | 14:19 |
| hrobi123 | ikonia: you need to use PPA , user supported repos "untrusted" repos to get this | 14:19 |
| hrobi123 | ikonia: or compile it yourself. | 14:20 |
| Inopia | ikonia: if you're interested in graphics drivers you should check out https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa | 14:21 |
| hrobi123 | mcphail: ok I best just try it then. I guess this PPA should be correctly set up with dependencies | 14:21 |
| hrobi123 | Inopia: I tried x-org edgers first... but someone told me its being phased out in favour of the "graphics driver" ppa | 14:21 |
| Inopia | oh that seems right | 14:22 |
| mcphail | hrobi123: wosrt comes to the worst, you can unpick it all from the command line ;) | 14:22 |
| ikonia | I'd keep away from non-official nvidia PPA's | 14:22 |
| Inopia | x-org edgers even has a link in the description | 14:22 |
| ikonia | you're just going to hit problems and pain, | 14:22 |
| ikonia | the ubuntu ones are normally not far behind and have been compatability tested properly | 14:22 |
| hrobi123 | ikonia true... but there is always that special not so common user with special requirements... mine is doing 3D rendering on GPU using the latest GTX 970... pluging into a stereoscopic tv screen... tooo | 14:23 |
| hrobi123 | ikonia: I'm way to "special" to be using the tried and tested drivers, | 14:23 |
| Inopia | is there an "official nvidia PPA" ? | 14:24 |

| TJ- | dweidler: Unity? | 15:07 |
| dweidler | using MATE | 15:08 |
| TJ- | dweidler: hmmm, not used that. I don't have those issues with LXDE, XFCE or KDE on 6 a monitor system | 15:08 |
| deskwizard | dweidler, try in #ubuntu-mate | 15:09 |
| TJ- | dweidler: but all the montors are identical resolution. It sounds like a scaling/panning issue | 15:09 |
| deskwizard | dweidler, running mate here too, desktop icons are finnicky too | 15:09 |
| TJ- | dweidler: is the larger monitor set as the primary? | 15:09 |
| dweidler | Apparently yes | 15:09 |
| TJ- | dweidler: it might be worth experimenting with a smaller monitor set as primary | 15:10 |

| dweidler | the latest one. How to set a screen to primary? Can't see any option in screen settings | 15:10 |
| deskwizard | dweidler, theres a command for that, 1 sec | 15:11 |

| deskwizard | dweidler, https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-control-center/issues/17 (jarrpa, 08-04-2013) | 15:12 |
| TJ- | dweidler: either "--noprimary" or "--primary" depending on what experiment you want to do, and which R&R version is supported | 15:12 |
| dweidler | Changing the primary didn't help. I guess the only solution is to move the smaller screen's top to the bigger screens top. But when having more icons that could fit vertically, the will still exceed the display size | 15:16 |

| k1l | ch_: what are you concerned about? | 15:44 |
| ch_ | if thay is collecting any data. like loggin ip and things on my computer. know the unity search bar is collecting but thats not my concern since i will run gnome | 15:45 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | ch_ here's a link to the privacy policy: http://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/privacy-policy | 15:45 |
| mcphail | ch_: firefox collects data for advertising purposes | 15:46 |
| MonkeyDust | i guess the ghostery plugin can prevent that | 15:46 |
| mcphail | I would guess it would | 15:47 |
| k1l | ch_: of course it logs who is logged in. or who is using ssh login etc. that is a standard procedure on all linux systems | 15:47 |
| k1l | ch_: you can turn it off on unity, that it generates online results, btw | 15:47 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | if you have genuine concerns about provacy to the extent that you're worried about your operating system, maybe invest in a VPN of some kind | 15:48 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | privacy* | 15:48 |
| k1l | ch_: but logging doesnt mean that this gets send to any 3rd parties outside. | 15:48 |
| ch_ | ye have seen that. i have done that and using vpn daily. but having some small concerns about if ubuntu or canonical is having another finger around this? | 15:49 |
| ch_ | :) | 15:49 |
| ikonia | then don't use it | 15:49 |
| ikonia | if you're in any doubt - don't use it | 15:49 |
| ikonia | you have no reason to think any of this that I can see, | 15:50 |
| k1l | ch_: they dont steal your data. | 15:50 |
| ikonia | so no logical discussion is going to put your mind at ease | 15:50 |

| * nicomachus seriouslylaughs | 15:50 | |
| * mcphail thinks it is perfectly reasonable to check these things out before installing an OS | 15:51 | |
| k1l | ch_: its labeled "online search" where you can search and get online results too. but you can set that off. but there is no hidden agenda to steal someones data. its open source, look into the code if you dont believe. | 15:51 |
| ch_ | y i know. was thinking of ubuntu since its made for ubuntu or i will do it the hard way with arch... | 15:51 |
| nicomachus | mcphail: there's a difference between doing your research, and being stupid paranoid thinking that Canonical is going to log your IP (???) every time you log in to your OS. | 15:58 |

| freakyy | 14.04 is trusty not precise | 16:20 |
| nat0 | Why would a fresh install need to reference updates/Release, especially after already having verified precise/Release? | 16:20 |
| mcphail | freakyy: ok, sorry - don't have much experience with the proprietary driver (beyond swearing at it) so won't be of any help to you :( | 16:20 |
| freakyy | mcphail: ok ;D | 16:20 |
| freakyy | thanks anyway :) | 16:20 |
| mcphail | freakyy: :) | 16:21 |
| nat0 | freaky: sorry I confused the two | 16:21 |
| nat0 | But that begs the question further. | 16:21 |
| nat0 | Why does a fresh install of trusty fail upon not finding an upgrade path for precise machines? | 16:22 |
| nat0 | Shouldn't the installer be able to recognize a fresh installation, and skip that part? | 16:23 |
| nat0 | If not, then shouldn't the trusty image come with a dists/precise-update/Release path? | 16:23 |
| recon_lap | O roll on 16.04 and pray the installer is better | 16:23 |
| nat0 | recon_lap: Unfortunately this is for a production deployment server. We need to roll out 14.04 in a production environment, and don't have the luxury of waiting until 16.04 comes out. | 16:25 |
| recon_lap | might be getting some loving with nomodeset | 16:25 |
| recon_lap | nat0: wonder why you are using xubuntu as a production server | 16:27 |
| nat0 | I'm not | 16:27 |
| nat0 | Where did you get xubuntu from? | 16:27 |
| nat0 | It's a stock ubuntu-14.04.3-server-amd64.iso image | 16:28 |
| nat0 | Being booted from a cobbler PXE deployment server. | 16:28 |
| recon_lap | sry, getting my channels mixed up, statment still stands, why ubuntu for a production server | 16:28 |
| nat0 | With a preseed file. | 16:28 |
| nat0 | Because some clients want to use ubuntu. | 16:28 |
| nat0 | Believe me if I could not use it I wouldn't. | 16:28 |
| nat0 | Ubuntu is a PITA compared to Debian or CentOS. | 16:29 |
| will_wielder | what is best for production server | 16:29 |
| nat0 | will_wielder: Standards depend on where you are. | 16:30 |
| nat0 | Most US MSPs use CentOS. In Europe the standard is SUSE. | 16:30 |
| MonkeyDust | nat0 you're free not to use ubuntu | 16:30 |
| nat0 | I prefer Debian. It's very frustrating how Ubuntu devs arbitrarily rename packages, or interfaces in /dev, etc. | 16:30 |
| nat0 | Omg | 16:31 |
| nat0 | Thanks MonkeyDust. | 16:31 |
| nat0 | I'll tell that to the client paying 5000/mo to provision their servers here. | 16:31 |
| somsip | nat0: for 5k a month, suck it up and stop whinging | 16:31 |
| nat0 | Yeah cuz all that money goes into my pockets. | 16:31 |
| nat0 | Are there adults here/ | 16:31 |
| nat0 | Perhaps with sysadmin experience? | 16:32 |
| nat0 | Or is this a teenage alphanerd desktop support channel? | 16:32 |
| MonkeyDust | nat0 i havent followed... there's also #ubuntu-server | 16:32 |
| nicomachus | nat0: there are plenty of experienced adults here. Do you have a support question? | 16:32 |
| mcphail | nat0: #ubuntu-server for server and #ubuntu-offtopic for ranting | 16:32 |
| nat0 | Thanks MonkeyDust, mcphail. | 16:32 |
| somsip | mcphail: offtopic isn't for ranting. !guidelines apply there too | 16:33 |

| shreez | When trying to add a new large drive to a headless box with no GUI, what is the best tool to use to create the partitions and format the drive? | 16:37 |
| functionoverform | cfdisk | 16:37 |
| functionoverform | or fdisk if you like | 16:37 |
| numnum4me | Does someone knows nother GUI Conky manager then the usual "conky manager" | 16:37 |
| Skaag | last night I installed 14.04 on an Intel NUC system, install went fine, booted fine, etc. but then it offered a dist-upgrade via the desktop UI, I agreed, it upgraded itself, rebooted, and now the NUC doesn't boot ;-) | 16:37 |
| Skaag | it doesn't find an OS at all... | 16:38 |
| nicomachus | numnum4me: that's the only one I know of. | 16:38 |
| EriC^^ | shreez: cgdisk / gdisk for gpt partition table | 16:38 |
| Skaag | I booted again from the USB Stick, and made sure /dev/sda1 has the 'boot' flag, it does, and now I don't know why else it doesn't even reach grub | 16:38 |
| Skaag | (or whatever boot manager is used in 14.04) | 16:38 |
| functionoverform | EriC^^: does ubuntu have cfdisk by default? | 16:39 |
| EriC^^ | functionoverform: yeah | 16:39 |

| MWM | Im trying to set a USB ethernet adapter to start automatically. Ive added the driver to the startup files, but it still wont start | 16:54 |
| n1n0 | hi. os is ubuntu 14.04 and inside is amd radeon r7 m360 graphic card. should fetch the drivers, but sudosh ./amd-driver-installer-x86.x86_64.run returns "unknown command" | 16:56 |
| hiwk | MWM: what do you mean by "wont start"? | 16:56 |
| hiwk | n1n0: it probably says which command is unknown? | 16:57 |
| MWM | I reboot -> login _> then no network connection until I manually load the driver. THis last time it hasnt even started by manually loading the driver (modprobe) | 16:58 |
| MWM | nor is it listed in the ifconfig -- which it usually is | 16:58 |
| maxtimbo | MWM, does sudo service network-manager restart do anything? | 16:59 |
| maxtimbo | I put a little bash script that runs that command on startup because my usb wifi card wasn't working properly | 17:00 |

| === morgan is now known as Guest83440 | ||
| dev__ | i have few query related to udev rules.. | 17:03 |
| maxtimbo | MWM, you're encountering the same problem i had. Use this bash script: http://pastebin.com/Gs4nGSJU | 17:03 |
| dev__ | i want to know which all udev scripts create nodes inside /dev folder | 17:03 |
| functionoverform | MWM, there's lots of bash books, the manual, etc. if you're in a hurry you should figure out exactly what you want to automate, then go from there. | 17:03 |
| functionoverform | but basically just write what you want to a file, chmod +x filename | 17:03 |
| functionoverform | and put it in /bin/bash if you want to create a custome command. | 17:04 |
| functionoverform | http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/84686/how-to-create-custom-commands-in-unix-linux | 17:04 |
| maxtimbo | MWM, use the command "sudo chmod 755 network-restart.sh" to change the permissions. | 17:05 |
| maxtimbo | MWM, move the script to /etc/init.d | 17:05 |
| MWM | is "+x" the actual argument or meant to be a variable for whatever permissions I want to set? | 17:05 |
| dev__ | i want to know which all udev scripts create nodes inside /dev folder?? | 17:05 |
| dev__ | can anybody please help me? | 17:05 |
| MWM | Ahhh. thanks guys. Ill drop back in if it doesnt work :) | 17:06 |
| n1n0 | hiwk just returns "unknown command" | 17:06 |
| maxtimbo | MWM, finally make sym link to /etc/rc4.d and append S07 or something like that | 17:06 |
| MWM | thanks for the link BTW | 17:06 |
| Peanut | Hi - is there an online repository where I can see the history of a particular file in a particular package? How does Ubuntu track its source internally, do they use e.g. git? | 17:06 |
| maxtimbo | MWM, http://askubuntu.com/questions/228304/how-do-i-run-a-script-at-start-up | 17:07 |
| nicomachus | Peanut: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 17:07 |
| Peanut | nicomachus: thanks. That gives me the per-release versions of the packages, but I would like to see the inside of those packages. | 17:07 |
| TJ- | dev__: the list of installed udev rules is got with "dpkg -L udev" | 17:08 |
| dev__ | okay | 17:09 |
| dev__ | thanks for the info | 17:09 |
| dev__ | will check it | 17:09 |
| nicomachus | Peanut: search the package you want, then select the version you want, then you can view the changelog, download the source, whatever you want. | 17:09 |
| mcphail | Peanut: have a look on launchpad.net. Most packages are versioned using bzr, but there is support for git now so some may have switched | 17:09 |
| Peanut | mcphail: ah, that might be useful, thanks. | 17:10 |
| teward | Peanut: any specific package in question you're looking for? We can point you where you need to go | 17:10 |
| Peanut | nicomachus: I was hoping to prevent that, but that would work as well, yes. | 17:10 |
| teward | Peanut: though, to determine changes to a file that are *outside* the packaging itself (i.e. changes made upstream in the source code by the people who develop that program), you'd have to check those repositories and changelogs | 17:10 |
| Peanut | teward: the partman-auto udeb package. Something seems to have changed between Precise and Trusty which I'm trying to track down. | 17:10 |
| mcphail | Peanut: https://code.launchpad.net/partman-auto | 17:12 |
| mcphail | Peanut: does that help? | 17:12 |
| Peanut | mcphail: great, that seems to be just what I was looking for. | 17:13 |
| n1n0 | hiwk had to "sudo sh amd-driver-installer-x86.x86_64.run" (space btw sudo and sh), but returned ""sh: 0: Can't open amd-driver-installer-x86.x86_64.run". | 17:13 |
| MWM | ive got no rc4 driector in /etc/init.d .... create it? | 17:13 |
| teward | Peanut: that should help you then, that link, note that between Precise and Trusty you're talking about two years of time, so finding the specific change/commit may be difficult | 17:13 |
| MWM | *directory | 17:13 |
| n1n0 | hiwk should I have the "uni/multiverse" repository thing enabled somewhere? | 17:14 |
| Peanut | teward: I realise that - but I think I know which file has changed, so this should allow me to track the history of just that file, I hope. | 17:14 |
| teward | Peanut: indeed. Good hunting, and good luck! | 17:16 |

| Guy1524 | guys, is there a way for me press a button to toggle whether or not the mouse cursor is displayed on my screen? | 17:20 |
| Guy1524 | I need this for a workaround for a game called Unturned which fails to hide the system cursor | 17:20 |
| nicomachus | Guy1524: are you running it in Wine? | 17:21 |
| Guy1524 | no | 17:21 |
| nicomachus | native? | 17:21 |
| Guy1524 | I am running the native version | 17:21 |
| nicomachus | ok. come on over to #gamingonlinux and we can help you out there. this isn't really an ubuntu question. | 17:21 |
| Kartagis | why would I be getting Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) as a result of apt-get install or autoremove? | 17:21 |
| Guy1524 | ok, well I thought it would because I dont want to do anything directly with the game, disabling the cursor would be an OS question right | 17:22 |
| nicomachus | nah it's most likely in-game. | 17:22 |
| nicomachus | Kartagis: try 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' and then run your install again | 17:23 |
| Guy1524 | I know that the problem is with the game, but the solution I want has nothing to do with the game | 17:23 |
| Kartagis | nicomachus: Errors were encountered while processing: | 17:25 |
| nicomachus | Kartagis: when you tried dpkg --configure -a? | 17:25 |
| Kartagis | no, dpkg ran smoothly | 17:26 |
| Kartagis | after that | 17:26 |
| Kartagis | sorry, yes | 17:26 |
| nicomachus | ok, can you paste the full output at paste.ubuntu.com and then link here? | 17:26 |
| Kartagis | oh, no space left | 17:26 |

| nicomachus | that'll do it | 17:28 |
| Kartagis | nicomachus: but no space left on /boot, I've still got 46gb on / | 17:29 |
| nicomachus | Kartagis: ok, no problem. What's the output of 'sudo ls -la /boot'? | 17:30 |
| Kartagis | nicomachus: I see many images not related to my kernel | 17:32 |
| nicomachus | Kartagis: yep, gonna have to manually remove some. Can you paste the full output on paste.ubuntu.com and link here? | 17:32 |

| nicomachus | oaulakh: "you have held broken packages" can often be fixed with 'sudo apt-get clean', but I'm curoius about how you ended up in this state. | 17:45 |
| nicomachus | finch_: there is, but first you have to tell me what kind of filesystem the USB uses. ext3, NTFS, FAT? | 17:46 |

| * lickalott waves | 18:22 | |
| Bernzel | hmm didn't work daftykins | 18:23 |
| genii | lickalott: Check in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf to make sure managed=true is there in the [ifupdown] section | 18:25 |
| zuippo | I'm using the ubuntu minimal cd to install ubuntu. During the network configuration the installer forces me to use WLAN, but i want to use LAN. I have the cable plugged in and the router reports that he has assigned an IP to my device. But the installer forces me to enter WLAN stuff. | 18:26 |
| lickalott | genii, it was false. I changed it. But why all the sudden would that be an issue, what would cause that? BTW: Thanks for the assist! | 18:28 |
| TJ- | genii: lickalott "managed=false" is how it should be; that controls whether NM tries to interfere with interfaces declared manually in /etc/network/interfaces | 18:30 |
| TJ- | lickalott: if the NM service doesn't start at boot-time, check it is enabled to auto-start, and if so, check the syslog or (with systemd) the journalctl log for that service | 18:31 |
| lickalott | TJ-, so keep it false in the .conf - copy. How can i determine if it is enabled to auto start? systemctl? | 18:32 |
| genii | TJ-: Ah, I thought this usarder was the one who altered his interfaces file to use the external USB->LAN adapter as the default instead of the onbo | 18:32 |

| zuippo | Bashing-om: ip link show tells me it detects only a single network device.

| Guest75502 | How do you get the unity launcher bar unstuck? | 18:48 |
| TJ- | pers3us: yeah, it's a weird one, a 'convention' but it bites if you do things unconventionally | 18:48 |
| Guest75502 | It's set to autohide, but now it's stuck out, and the damned thing wont pop back away :/ | 18:48 |
| pers3us | TJ-: Is it with packaging? | 18:48 |
| zuippo | TJ-: Broadcom BCM57780 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe [14e4:1629] | 18:49 |
| TJ- | pers3us: yes | 18:49 |
| pers3us | TJ-: Link for issue tracker? | 18:49 |
| TJ- | lickalott: right, let's check the service status: "systemctl status NetworkManager.service" tell us what the 3rd line "Loaded: ..." shows | 18:50 |
| TJ- | pers3us: none as yet, I need to figure out how to report it... diplomatically | 18:50 |
| pers3us | TJ-: Oh, that kind of a bug :D | 18:51 |
| zuippo | TJ-: was that directed to me? I don't have systemctl since I'm in a minimal cd (only have a CD and no usb stick here...) | 18:52 |
| TJ- | pers3us: summing it up though, 'tar' used to create the .deb packages doesn't use "--numeric-owner" when creating the packages, which means on a system where root != UID 0, things break in interesting ways. Just got hit by it using deboostrap, for example | 18:52 |
| TJ- | zuippo: no, that was for lickalott | 18:52 |
| zuippo | TJ-: sorry thought you confused name since it also sounded network related :x | 18:52 |
| TJ- | zuippo: so, the problem (bug) is udevd thinking that 14e4:1629 is wireless and giving the i/f a "wl" prefix | 18:53 |
| lickalott | TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13504913/ | 18:53 |
| zuippo | TJ-: and there is no way to force the minimal cd to treat it as an ethernet connection? | 18:53 |
| pers3us | TJ-: That is weird. Why would they assume that root will always be UID 0? | 18:54 |
| TJ- | zuippo: ok, see "man systemd.link" for an explanation. That also hints at some boot-time over-rides you may be able to use to work around it | 18:54 |
| TJ- | pers3us: I've been hitting a few of these issues since I started building an unconventional distro spin and one thing I do is have root != 0, just to spoil the fun of some immature malware code. | 18:56 |
| TJ- | lickalott: how do you determine, at boot-time, that network manager isn't running? | 18:57 |
| foul_owl | Does Ubuntu release a dhcp lease when the system is shutdown with the "shutdown -h now" command? | 18:58 |
| TJ- | lickalott: That systemctl output shows the service is enabled for auto-start "enabled; vendor preset: enabled" ... and the log doesn't show any problems with it starting. | 18:58 |
| foul_owl | Or do I have to manually release the dhcp lease before shutdown? | 18:58 |
| TJ- | foul_owl: generally it keeps the lease. I think you can custom-configure dhclient to release | 18:59 |
| pers3us | TJ-: Interesting. What exactly is this distro? | 19:00 |
| Gambit15 | Hey all, anyone here able to give a hand with port binding issue I'm having? | 19:00 |
| foul_owl | Ah gotcha. I ran out of leases from testing too many vms! | 19:00 |
| Gambit15 | I've got apache configured to listen on port 80 on 1 IP, and now I'm trying to setup another service on port 80 for another IP | 19:00 |
| Gambit15 | netstat shows apache is bound to that one IP | 19:01 |
| TJ- | pers3us: me respinning Ubuntu for security integration, self-healing, and general joined-up thinking :) | 19:01 |
| Gambit15 | ...and yet when I try to start up the service on the other IP, it throws me a bind error... | 19:01 |
| MWM | If I use a dummy driver/monitor on a headless machine do I even need a video card at all? Can I set the Resolution and screen size to any size? | 19:03 |
| pers3us | TJ-: Nice, ya saw deboostrap, they are using forcing UID 0 to tar it.. | 19:03 |
| TJ- | foul_owl: I think "dhclient -r" should release | 19:03 |
| foul_owl | Sounds good! | 19:04 |
| foul_owl | I was curious what the default behavior was | 19:04 |
| TJ- | foul_owl: see /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.leases for the current/expired leases | 19:04 |

| cyber37 | Hi guy's, i have a problems, i can scroll down with my mouse, but whe, i croll up it scroll but stop scrolling afte some lines | 19:22 |
| cyber37 | is it a known bug ? | 19:22 |
| cyber37 | Virus possibility ? | 19:22 |
| nicomachus | cyber37: scrolling in what? | 19:22 |
| subjz | y video on Ubuntu is lagging too much in virtual box??? | 19:23 |
| nicomachus | subjz: You need to enable 3D acceleration | 19:23 |
| cyber37 | with the mouse | 19:23 |
| cyber37 | in everything | 19:23 |
| cyber37 | a web page, eclipse etc | 19:23 |
| nicomachus | subjz: see here: https://www.maketecheasier.com/enable-3d-acceleration-in-virtualbox/ | 19:24 |
| cyber37 | I scroll down, then i can scroll up "a litle" | 19:24 |
| cyber37 | But if i scroll up it stop scrolling after some lines and then i can't scroll up while i don't scroll down | 19:24 |
| cyber37 | I don't know if it's a know issue on ubuntu , or what | 19:25 |
| cyber37 | Maybe if the mouse was HS i will be not able to scroll up after a scroll down .. | 19:25 |
| k1l | cyber37: never heard of such an issue | 19:25 |
| cyber37 | oh wait ! | 19:25 |

| foul_owl | Anyone know how to manually release DHCP leases from a dhcpd server? | 19:58 |
| k1l | foul_owl: reconnect to the network on networkmanager, erstart whole networking, .... | 20:00 |
| k1l | foul_owl: sudo dhclient -r | 20:01 |
| foul_owl | The client no longer exists, I'm talking about from the _server_ | 20:02 |
| foul_owl | ie, I've been creating and nuking vms all day, now my dhcp server is out of leases | 20:03 |
| foul_owl | Since ubuntu doesn't release the lease upon shutdown... | 20:03 |
| k1l | foul_owl: what server is that? a router? | 20:04 |
| genii | foul_owl: /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases or if using dnsmasq to assign them, /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases | 20:05 |
| k1l | foul_owl: today some(most?) routers/dhcpservers) are set to reuse the same ip for the same mac adress. so make sure that setting is off if you dont want that | 20:05 |
| foul_owl | It's a dhcp server, that's all | 20:06 |
| foul_owl | Router is a separate device | 20:06 |

| foul_owl | Do I restart dhcpd or is there a reload command? | 20:08 |
| ioria | you cannot flush them ? | 20:09 |

| umdx | hi, how do i install the graphic driver for Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller. it won't let me watch twitch tv without lagging | 20:29 |
| Jordan_U | skasturi: On BIOS based systems the boot firmware doesn't know anything about partition tables at all, let alone boot flags. The BIOS will read the first sector of the drive, the MBR, into memory and jump to it. So you need to be sure that you have a bootloader installed to the mbr, /dev/sda , not to a partition like /dev/sda1. | 20:29 |
| Jordan_U | umdx: Intel graphics should be configured with the correct driver by default, do you have issues with other video playing applications? | 20:30 |
| cado | Is this an appropriate venue to ask questions about headless booting of 15.10? I have an odd issue where only when the graphics card is removed, my networking seems to fail. I have noticed the names ubuntu renames the interfaces to are deterministic but different between video card present versus removed. I attempted to define a consistent naming scheming in udev/rules.d but that didn’t seem to have any affect even when adding arguments to the boot list. I do | 20:32 |
| cado | know if that is the point of failure, but I figured I would try to isolate it as not being the problem if possible. | 20:32 |
| umdx | anyone here uses i3/? | 20:34 |

| Grimm_ | Please how ddo I fix this? | 20:51 |
| Grimm_ | *do | 20:52 |

| ioria | TJ- i admit... i don't know why | 20:58 |

| Grimm_ | So how do I fix it | 21:03 |
| TJ- | Grimm_: you'd need to build syslinux yourself with the patch attached to the bug report, or wait for the fixed packages to get into the archives | 21:05 |
| TJ- | Grimm_: there's a version in my bug-fixes PPA if you want to test it https://launchpad.net/~tj/+archive/ubuntu/bugfixes | 21:06 |

| mentoc | Hello, I'm trying to customize my boot by hitting f6 or e or something to get grub to show me options, but instead it just shows a purplish-black screen and ignores my input. | 21:40 |
| asad_ | TJ-: Oh I'm sorry. It's ubuntu 14.04.03 LTS. | 21:40 |
| thecheshirecat_ | it freezes during the boot, line Starting WPA Supplicant, when it is not connected to power | 21:41 |
| mentoc | I'm trying to fix a problem that causes the screen to be completely blank. I don't mean that the screen is on and it's painting black pixles, what I mean is the screen has no light on at all | 21:41 |
| mentoc | it works fine with ubuntu live usb | 21:41 |
| Jordan_U | mentoc: Is this a BIOS or UEFI based machine? | 21:41 |
| mentoc | Jordan_U: how do I tell? | 21:42 |
| mentoc | It says BIOS | 21:42 |
| thecheshirecat_ | (scuse my horrible english, i'm french) | 21:42 |
| officialdellacry | Hello, I am running Ubuntu 15.04 and I am trying to get Steam to run. It installed fine but outputs nothing and hangs in Terminal when 'steam' is run from there. | 21:42 |
| thecheshirecat_ | and the battery indicator is wrong | 21:43 |
| mentoc | Yeah okay wtf, all of a sudden it works | 21:43 |
| mentoc | PFM | 21:44 |
| mentoc | lmao | 21:44 |
| thecheshirecat_ | it doesn't change the state when i plug/unplug the cable | 21:44 |
| * mentoc shoots himself | 21:44 | |
| Guest92064 | officialdellacry: i have tried to get steam run multiple times on ubuntu. had issues over and over again. i then installed steam os on a dedicated hdd, that works like a charm. you might give it a try | 21:44 |
| === Guest92064 is now known as DanielL | ||
| officialdellacry | Dedicated HDD? I mean, this is a somewhat-older Gaming Laptop with a Core 2 Duo T800 and 4GB of ram as well as a Nvidia 8800 GTS. | 21:45 |
| officialdellacry | Could it run Steam OS? | 21:45 |
| k1l | officialdellacry: nvidia-current installed? | 21:45 |
| officialdellacry | I'm not sure. | 21:45 |
| officialdellacry | How do I tell/Do that/ | 21:46 |
| DanielL | officialdellacry: depends - not tried yet on such a hardware. unfortunately, steam os requires a dedicated hard drive since the installer will format the whole disk.... | 21:46 |
| officialdellacry | I do not mind giving it a try. | 21:46 |
| officialdellacry | I have nothing to lose on this HDD. | 21:46 |
| k1l | officialdellacry: lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use' | 21:46 |
| officialdellacry | Terminal output: Kernel driver in use: nouveau | 21:47 |
| k1l | officialdellacry: there you go | 21:47 |
| officialdellacry | How do I install nvidia-current? | 21:47 |
| k1l | officialdellacry: "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current" | 21:47 |
| officialdellacry | okay, thank you. | 21:47 |
| officialdellacry | okay, thank you. | 21:47 |
| DanielL | would like to know if that works, can you test that right now? | 21:48 |
| officialdellacry | I can try installing SteamOS to give you an answer. | 21:48 |
| officialdellacry | I dont mind at all ^^; | 21:48 |
| DanielL | i still remember that nvidia-current didn't solve the problem for me... | 21:48 |
| k1l | there is no need to install steam os. just install the prop. nvidia driver and steam will load | 21:49 |
| akik | DanielL: how do you install steam on a laptop if it formats the disk? | 21:49 |
| officialdellacry | Currently installing it. | 21:49 |
| akik | oh steam os | 21:49 |
| DanielL | if that works, fine :) | 21:49 |
| officialdellacry | Itll be a bit | 21:49 |
| officialdellacry | GG WIndstream. | 21:49 |
| DanielL | akik: you can download steam os as an iso file. burn it to a disc or usb flash drive | 21:50 |
| TJ- | asad_: I'd look at /var/log/kern.log for clues, and possibly /var/log/syslog. Look for anything mentioning the synaptics (touchpad) driver. Also, possibly /var/log/Xorg.0.log (that's the GUI X server log) | 21:50 |
| thecheshirecat_ | nobody knows this problem ? :( | 21:50 |
| DanielL | akik: don't mix it up ---- steam -> package for ubuntu..... steam os -> operating system | 21:51 |
| officialdellacry | it finished installing, attempting to launch steam now. | 21:51 |
| DanielL | k | 21:51 |
| officialdellacry | It hung again. | 21:52 |
| officialdellacry | Terminal Output: Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0.0". | 21:52 |
| asad_ | TJ-: There are a lot of "i2c_designware INT3433:00: controller timed out" | 21:52 |
| k1l | officialdellacry: need to at least logout and relogin (maybe restart) to load the drivers | 21:52 |
| asad_ | TJ-: in /var/log/kern.log | 21:52 |
| officialdellacry | Right, sorry. | 21:52 |
| officialdellacry | Still new to this. | 21:52 |
| TJ- | asad_: 'designware' ... seen that before, isn't that some kind of HID/mouse/game controller? | 21:52 |
| officialdellacry | be right abck. | 21:53 |
| asad_ | TJ-: I'm sorry but I don't know much about all this... | 21:53 |
| daftykins | thecheshirecat_: was it a clean install? we have no information on the history of this system | 21:53 |
| thecheshirecat_ | @daftykins : yes, clean install, ubuntu wily | 21:55 |
| daftykins | thecheshirecat_: considered trying again with 14.04.3 ? | 21:55 |
| thecheshirecat_ | no ! i tried with wily, xenial (alpha) and under fedora | 21:56 |
| daftykins | well 14.04 is LTS, so it's a worthy choice | 21:56 |
| thecheshirecat_ | ok, so i will download an iso and try again | 21:56 |
| thecheshirecat_ | thank you =) i'll come back if it still doesn't work | 21:57 |
| TJ- | thecheshirecat_: that sounds like the ACPI firmware interface isn't informing the OS of the event. | 21:59 |
| === newbie is now known as Guest8601 | ||
| thecheshirecat_ | @TJ : i tried to add acpi=off and acpi_osi=Linux | 22:00 |
| thecheshirecat_ | in grub | 22:00 |
| thecheshirecat_ | but it hasn't changed the problem | 22:01 |
| thecheshirecat_ | solved* (scuse my poor english >>') | 22:01 |
| TJ- | thecheshirecat_: you were on the correct lines with "acpi_osi=" but my bet would be you need to set that to one fo the Windows versions that ACPI DSDT supports | 22:01 |
| TJ- | thecheshirecat_: the usual problem is that the firmware doesn't provide full services when the OS is Linux, so it has to pretend to be a Windows version instead | 22:01 |
| TJ- | thecheshirecat_: what's the highest Windows version reported with "sudo strings /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT | grep -i windows" ? | 22:02 |
| asad_ | TJ-: So there is nothing I can do? | 22:02 |
| TJ- | asad_: if the model is certified that suggests there is something unique that has changed on your particular PC, possibly the firmware version? | 22:03 |
| TJ- | asad_: as I said earlier - the logs will be the place to discover clues if there are any to be found | 22:04 |
| thecheshirecat_ | @TJ : http://paste.ubuntu.com/13507301/ | 22:04 |
| thecheshirecat_ | looks like Microsoft Windows NT | 22:05 |
| asad_ | TJ-: On http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201408-15442/, it says "hybrid suspend does not work on this system" | 22:05 |
| lmmx | Hi, I think Unicode Entry (via Ctrl+Shift+U) is broken on Linux Mint 17+, but it was notably the version that switched to Ubuntu 14.04: can anyone on Ubuntu 14 confirm non-working please? It doesn't seem to have been registered in changelog known bugs for Mint http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/209293/mint-17-cinnamon-ctrlshiftu-not-letting-me-enter-unicode-symbols | 22:06 |
| Jordan_U | TJ-: You've got to love "Windows 2017". | 22:06 |
| daftykins | lmmx: i take it you know of the IRC network and channel where you get Mint support? since we don't support it here (i know your question is about how it works on proper Ubuntu) | 22:07 |
| thecheshirecat_ | Jordan_U: why ? it's the result of TJ's command | 22:08 |
| daftykins | since 2017 is the future ;) | 22:08 |
| Jordan_U | thecheshirecat_: It's just funny that the firmware seems to be trying to guess what Windows will call itself in the future. | 22:09 |
| daftykins | it's not. | 22:09 |
| thecheshirecat_ | ok >< | 22:09 |
| thecheshirecat_ | hard to recognize irony in english | 22:10 |
| TJ- | thecheshirecat_: I'd suggest trying "acpi_osi=Windows 2016" | 22:11 |
| lmmx | daftykins: I asked already there, but I want to check if it's the Mint upgrade or the base Ubuntu upgrade, so need to know from both parties | 22:11 |
| daftykins | lmmx: okie dokie, just checking | 22:12 |
| lmmx | Could anyone on Ubuntu 14 check for me please? e.g. Ctrl + Shift + U + 2022 will give a bullet point symbol | 22:12 |
| TJ- | thecheshirecat_: on the kernel command line make sure to surround the entire parameter with quotation marks else the space after 'Windows' will prevent the option being parsed correctly | 22:12 |
| Jordan_U | lmmx: Works fine on Xubuntu 14.04 here. | 22:13 |
| tgm4883 | lmmx: works on Ubuntu 14.04 here as well | 22:13 |
| lmmx | thanks Jordan_U tgm4883, grr.. I use this all the time, no note it was broken in Mint changelogs | 22:13 |
| daftykins | that's Mint for you :) | 22:14 |
| adrian_1908 | hello. I have a problem. I'm mounting /tmp as ramfs. So far I ran into no issues but now that Ubuntu wants to do an update, it reports "not enough space in /tmp". I have no shortage of RAM and can copy gigs of data onto there. | 22:14 |
| tgm4883 | daftykins: lol | 22:14 |
| lmmx | heyyyy haha | 22:14 |
| daftykins | :D | 22:14 |
| Bashing-om | lmmx: my result : sysop@1404mini:~$ ) . | 22:14 |
| daftykins | adrian_1908: "mount" would probably show you /tmp is small though no? surely you have to define a size to use | 22:15 |
| lmmx | thanks all, I'll take it back to mint :-) | 22:15 |
| TJ- | adrian_1908: using tmpfs is a better bet for /tmp/ | 22:15 |
| thecheshirecat_ | TJ-: thank you very much : | 22:16 |
| adrian_1908 | These are my fstab settings: ramfs /tmp ramfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777,size=16G 0 0 | 22:16 |
| thecheshirecat_ | i'll try this solution and i come back later to say if the trouble is still here | 22:16 |
| adrian_1908 | TJ-: tmpfs won't use swap unless it's the very last resort, correct? | 22:16 |
| adrian_1908 | I have plenty of ram and don't want linux to be stupid about it. | 22:17 |
| TJ- | adrian_1908: | 22:17 |
| TJ- | One downside of ramfs is you can keep writing data into it until you fill up all memory, and the VM can't free it because the VM thinks that files +should get written to backing store (rather than swap space), but ramfs hasn't got any backing store. Because of this, only root (or a trusted user) should be allowed write access to a ramfs mount. | 22:17 |
| Jordan_U | adrian_1908: According to "man mount" ramfs doesn't accept any options, it really looks like you meant that fstab entry for tmpfs. | 22:17 |
| adrian_1908 | TJ-: I see, I wasn't aware of that. | 22:18 |
| TJ- | adrian_1908: just switch it to use tmpfs :) | 22:18 |
| adrian_1908 | Jordan_U: Ok, my mistake. I'll switch over to tmpfs then. | 22:18 |
| lmmx | can anyone give me the value of `echo $GTK_IM_MODULE` on Ubuntu please? | 22:19 |
| lmmx | (preferably Ubuntu 14) | 22:19 |
| k1l | should be ibus | 22:20 |
| lmmx | mm | 22:20 |
| Jordan_U | lmmx: "xim" for me. | 22:20 |
| lmmx | hmm.. okay that's what I have.. | 22:20 |
| Bashing-om | lmmx: xfce4: no return for " echo $GTK_IM_MODULE " . | 22:21 |
| lmmx | Bashing-om: sounds like you have problems with your setup from those last 2 outputs | 22:21 |
| lmmx | Bashing-om: or maybe it defaults to something else if blank, don't know | 22:22 |
| Bashing-om | lmmx: Minimal install .. All works, I have no presently known peoblems . | 22:22 |
| jedininjarob | hey is there a terminal command to save an open Gedit document befor closing? | 22:26 |
| k1l | jedininjarob: press ctrl+s | 22:27 |
| jedininjarob | i know that but from terminal? | 22:27 |
| k1l | but i dont know a remote command to save an opened gedit session | 22:27 |
| MonkeyDust | jedininjarob man gedit does not show that option | 22:28 |
| Jordan_U | jedininjarob: What is your end goal? | 22:28 |
| jedininjarob | to control the open gedit file with terminal save then close | 22:28 |
| jedininjarob | i geuss a macro/ script | 22:29 |
| Jordan_U | jedininjarob: Yes, but why? What is your end goal? | 22:29 |
| MonkeyDust | jedininjarob why not edit the document in the terminal? | 22:29 |
| adrian_1908 | Jordan_U: Sorry to bug you again, but looking at the mount manpage section on tmpfs, are the options listed there in addition to the ones mentioned early on in the page ('noexec', 'relatime' etc.)? Do you happen to know? | 22:29 |
| adrian_1908 | (Or are they the only ones that apply) | 22:30 |
| Jordan_U | adrian_1908: They are in addition to. So noexec and relatime do apply to tmpfs. | 22:31 |
| adrian_1908 | Thanks! | 22:31 |
| Jordan_U | adrian_1908: You're welcome. | 22:31 |
| MonkeyDust | jedininjarob short answer: no it's not possible | 22:31 |
| jedininjarob | what i am asking is there a way to save and close any open gedit documents by pressing a hot key//// with out using the mouse/// an automation task | 22:31 |
| jedininjarob | ahhh ok | 22:32 |
| thecheshirecat | it doesn't work | 22:32 |
| thecheshirecat | but i get some lines after WPA Supplicant : | 22:32 |
| MonkeyDust | jedininjarob edit the document with nano or so | 22:32 |
| Jordan_U | jedininjarob: *WHY* do you want such a hotkey? | 22:32 |
| thecheshirecat | NMI watchdog : BUG:soft lockup | 22:33 |
| MonkeyDust | jedininjarob i guess you think there's only gedit to edit text documents | 22:33 |
| jedininjarob | just a task i am trying to solve make things faster with out having to use mouse all day | 22:33 |
| thecheshirecat | CPU#0 stuck for 22s | 22:33 |
| MonkeyDust | jedininjarob in a terminal, type nano [your document] | 22:34 |
| thecheshirecat | it's a nightmare | 22:34 |
| TJ- | thecheshirecat: right, so try some of the other values; maybe "Windows 2015" and work backwards. Each of those values causes the firmware to configure different functionality | 22:35 |
| TJ- | thecheshirecat: generally, the more recent the Windows version, the more functionality provided | 22:35 |
| guest-HrN9Nx | hi | 22:35 |
| Jordan_U | MonkeyDust: I don't see how that actually helps jedininjarob get any closer to closing and saving all text files they're editing with a hotkey. | 22:35 |
| jedininjarob | what i am asking round about is if the mouse can do it with just a click why could there not be a way to exacute that via terminal? | 22:35 |
| thecheshirecat | ok, i'll try 2015 | 22:35 |
| guest-HrN9Nx | help me | 22:35 |
| akik | jedininjarob: there's a tool called xdotool which you can use to simulate x11 events. maybe that could be used | 22:36 |
| jedininjarob | hmmm ok | 22:37 |
| jedininjarob | seems so simple | 22:37 |
| jedininjarob | wounder whys it hard | 22:37 |
| jedininjarob | ill look into the xdotool thanks akik | 22:37 |
| thecheshirecat | no differences with 2015 | 22:39 |
| officialdellacry | Hello, I'm trying to get steam running on Ubuntu 15.04 and i was here before and was told to install nvidia-current and restart. | 22:39 |
| officialdellacry | I tried doing so | 22:39 |
| officialdellacry | It worked. Steam started, but every time it started the machine hung completely. | 22:39 |
| akik | a big part of learning is trying out tools and what they can do | 22:40 |
| officialdellacry | I had to hard reboot every time. | 22:40 |
| Jordan_U | thecheshirecat: What is the output of "cat /proc/cmdline"? | 22:40 |
| Aliciana | hey | 22:40 |
| meisth0th | hello | 22:42 |
| meisth0th | i'm trying to make a deb package with dpkg-deb. the application i am trying to package is a daemon. and i don't understand how can i build package to work with both upstart and systemd. is there a documentation on this? | 22:43 |
| thecheshirecat | Jordan_U: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.2.0-18-generic.efi.signed root=UUID=744fee67-2646-41cd-946e-f86f4f401a97 ro "acpi_osi=Windows 2015" | 22:44 |
| jedininjarob | what about putting window focus on gedit and from the command line running a keyboard script that will simulate the cntrl-S and cntrl-Q? | 22:45 |
| OerHeks | meisth0th, for a start, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers and maybe this channel can be a help #ubuntu-packaging | 22:47 |
| Jordan_U | thecheshirecat: That looks correct. Not sure what to try next. | 22:48 |
| officialdellacry | Hello, I am running Ubuntu 15.04 and trying to get Steam to start but the system hangs everytime i start it. | 22:48 |
| thecheshirecat | i'll stop here today | 22:48 |
| thecheshirecat | maybe i'll come back tomorrow to go on | 22:48 |
| cado | Anyone seen networking failures related to dynamic names for ethernet interfaces when switching from headed to headless ubuntu 15.10 | 22:49 |
| akik | jedininjarob: did you even read the xdotool page? it is able to search for a window and select it. to call the xdotool script you can bind keys in your desktop environment's settings | 22:49 |
| thecheshirecat | thank you very much, especially TJ- and Jordan_U | 22:49 |
| jedininjarob | i am reading now | 22:49 |
| thecheshirecat | good bye everyone | 22:49 |
| Jordan_U | officialdellacry: Do you know if it's a kernel panic or just X crashing? Does your capslock key flash? Can you use alt+sysrq+k to kill X? | 22:49 |
| officialdellacry | No, Nothing works at all. | 22:50 |
| Jordan_U | officialdellacry: What happens when you try to use sysrq magic to cleanly unount and reboot? | 22:50 |
| officialdellacry | what is sysrq magic, what keys | 22:51 |
| OerHeks | cado, unlikely network interface name changes by enable/.disable monitor, there are changes when you upgrade http://askubuntu.com/questions/689070/network-interface-name-changes-after-update-to-15-10-udev-changes | 22:51 |

| cado | OerHeks I’m actually removing the video card | 22:51 |
| officialdellacry | let me reinstall steam and nvidia-current and try again, and will report back | 22:52 |

| Raccoon1400 | is it a bad idea to add a windows install to grub manually? When I learned this I'd just go into menu.lst. Stuff I've read says now there are more automated utilities to do this, and that it could harm my computer editing the files? | 23:01 |
| cado | These wild network naming changes should probably be pulled and better tested before integration | 23:02 |
| Jordan_U | Raccoon1400: If your Windows installation isn't being detected and added automatically, there's probably something else wrong with it. | 23:02 |
| Raccoon1400 | I liked the manual way before, it was efficient and hard to break your sytem as long as you had some idea what youare doing | 23:02 |

| OerHeks | looks like the same as in Mint 17.2 Rafaela | 23:06 |
| k1l | OerHeks: depends on what mint version you are :) | 23:06 |
| k1l | and what updates mint thinks you should get and what not. | 23:07 |
| asad_ | k1l: If I install 16.04 from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/, will it work? | 23:08 |
| k1l | asad_: yes it will work. but its in alpha stage yet. so it might not work full from one day to the next. | 23:09 |
| brum | hello! | 23:09 |
| brum | My problem is, Acpi Pcc Prob Failed | 23:10 |
| asad_ | k1l: How do I upgrade my kernel ro 4.2.6? | 23:10 |
| brum | Yes | 23:10 |
| k1l | asad_: if its just about the kernel see mainline kernels | 23:10 |
| k1l | the bot already gave you the info and link | 23:10 |
| Bashing-om | brum: The kernel is probing ACPI, looking for the "Platforms communication channel" interface. This is a new ACPI interface and not much hardware currently supports it. | 23:11 |
| brum | Aff | 23:12 |
| brum | Drive Nvidia report error | 23:12 |
| daftykins | you have to give us errors if you want to know what to do with them | 23:13 |
| asad_ | k1l: Do I have to first upgrade ubuntu to 15.10? | 23:14 |
| k1l | asad_: no | 23:14 |
| asad_ | k1l: because there's 4.2.6-wily. so it doesn't matter? | 23:15 |
| asad_ | k1l: can I install the kernel using apt-get ? | 23:18 |
| k1l | asad_: no | 23:18 |
| k1l | dpkg is the command | 23:18 |
| genii | !mainline | asad_ | 23:20 |

| kosaq | how do i create a live usb squashfs and overlayfs with only dash, X and GFX driver pkgs? | 23:21 |
| kosaq | anyone have a script for this? | 23:21 |
| daftykins | kosaq: what are you trying to achieve? | 23:22 |
| kosaq | do i need anything else? like systemD or is it enough to get it booting? | 23:23 |
| daftykins | i refer you to my above enquiry :) | 23:23 |
| kosaq | daft: custom live usb start with minimum of pkgs | 23:24 |
| kosaq | isnt there anyone capable of creating a working script for this job? | 23:24 |
| daftykins | i doesn't see the point | 23:25 |
| daftykins | er, i don't* | 23:25 |
| k1l | kosaq: that is more a question for ##linux then for #ubuntu, right? | 23:25 |
| LambdaComplex | kosaq: i really don't think ubuntu is the right distro for that | 23:26 |
| LambdaComplex | kosaq: sounds more like something you'd wanna use gentoo or arch for tbh | 23:26 |
| k1l | ubuntu ships a minimal iso for those who would like to start small. there even is a netboot iso. | 23:26 |
| daftykins | i'd say it sounds more like something you shouldn't need to reinvent the wheel for | 23:27 |
| kosaq | the thing is im not a linux expert so i need to have it easy | 23:27 |
| k1l | kosaq: then use the minimal iso. add what you need to it. | 23:27 |
| kosaq | dafty so there can i find this kind of distro? | 23:27 |
| kosaq | iwe searched the hole net, after live linux with only Xorg = NO answer | 23:28 |
| daftykins | kosaq: if you want it easy, why don't you just create a live USB of ubuntu with persistence and install some packages... no point in pursuing this lightweight approach you have in mind. | 23:28 |
| daftykins | *whole | 23:28 |
| daftykins | i find that hard to believe given the number of bootable distros out there designed for certain tasks, but again - if we knew why you want this then it might help. | 23:29 |
| * LambdaComplex stills says arch or gentoo | 23:30 | |
| LambdaComplex | arch would be easier | 23:30 |
| * SlidingHorn votes arch here, too.... | 23:30 | |
| LambdaComplex | just figure out the bare minimum packages you need | 23:31 |
| SlidingHorn | their documentation is pretty impeccable, too | 23:31 |
| kosaq | kill: can i run the minimum iso with try ubuntu menuentry? like only on squashfs/overlayfs or is it installed on the usb? | 23:31 |
| k1l | LambdaComplex: SlidingHorn you have seen the "i am not a linux expert"? | 23:31 |
| daftykins | they have not (: | 23:31 |
| SlidingHorn | that I didn't.....lol, sorry | 23:31 |
| LambdaComplex | ^ | 23:31 |
| LambdaComplex | but this isn't exactly a beginner problem...so, oh well | 23:32 |
| kosaq | lamba: because the damn distro is at least 1 000 pkgs | 23:32 |
| LambdaComplex | kosaq: which? | 23:32 |
| zykotick9 | kosaq: fyi, you _might_ find this page http://live.debian.net/ helpful, if you want to create a debian-based livecd? ymmv. | 23:32 |
| LambdaComplex | Heck, Arch's base group isn't even that big | 23:33 |
| LambdaComplex | Only 50 packages | 23:33 |
| kosaq | ok so no easy scripting to get it up and running ? | 23:33 |
| kosaq | lamda: that the minum iso right? | 23:34 |
| LambdaComplex | (or remove) | 23:35 |
| LambdaComplex | oops, i was scrolled up. my bad | 23:35 |
| LambdaComplex | kosaq: no, Arch Linux's base group contains 50 packages | 23:35 |
| LambdaComplex | Although you don't _need_ all of them | 23:35 |
| mcphail | kosaq: you do realise that having X without a window manager (at least) is fairly useless? | 23:35 |
| kosaq | the other thing is the kernel modules, its way to many of them | 23:35 |
| LambdaComplex | Don't need nano or vi or sed or which or gawk or bash. | 23:36 |
| LambdaComplex | I wouldn't wanna uninstall them, but you don't _need_ them | 23:36 |
| mcphail | kosaq: http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Barebones?redirect=no might bring you closer to what you need | 23:36 |
| k1l | kosaq: no the minimal iso can only install. | 23:37 |
| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||
| * zykotick9 notes vi is a posix command, so if your install doesn't have it - it's broken ;) | 23:37 | |
| kosaq | hell i tink Arch Linux is the thing, but now i know how debian/ubuntu works | 23:37 |
| LambdaComplex | zykotick9: But the system _will_ boot without it :P | 23:37 |
| zykotick9 | LambdaComplex: yes, boot a "broken" system ;) | 23:37 |
| kosaq | kll: damn why can i try it? sucks to install GRUB etc | 23:38 |
| mcphail | kosaq: and have a look at busybox instead of the gnu utilities | 23:38 |
| LambdaComplex | pacman -S neovim && echo 'alias "vi"="nvim"' >> ~/.bashrc | 23:38 |
| LambdaComplex | zykotick9: Good enough? :P | 23:38 |
| k1l | kosaq: well, good luck with that then as a linux beginner. but we can put the arch talk then into the arch channels or ##linux | 23:38 |
| * zykotick9 also notes this is #ubuntu and arch isn't really on topic... | 23:38 | |
| daftykins | yep it'd be great if all the non-ubuntu talk headed off to relevant channels :) | 23:41 |
| LambdaComplex | man, ubuntu is just a social construct | 23:42 |
| LambdaComplex | it's not even real, man | 23:42 |
| frank1e | anyone knows if there is some way to give some specific texts in terminal specific colors? | 23:42 |
| LambdaComplex | frank1e: tput? | 23:42 |
| frank1e | I am controlling my bitcoin wallets via terminal and it all looks boring and gives me anxiety lol | 23:43 |
| LambdaComplex | is it like, a shell script? | 23:43 |
| frank1e | LambdaComplex what is tput please, am not that familiar with terminal in general and everything | 23:43 |
| frank1e | LambdaComplex uh | 23:43 |
| frank1e | it is to be exact: | 23:43 |
| frank1e | bitcoindeamon | 23:43 |
| frank1e | the same like the bitcoin gui client (aka bitcoin core - the qt gui) but just in terminal | 23:44 |
| frank1e | hold on | 23:44 |
| frank1e | https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-reference#wallet-rpcs | 23:44 |
| frank1e | https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoind#Wallet_Services | 23:45 |
| frank1e | am bad at explaining and also not familiar with customizing ubuntu or similar. especially terminal. but I need some more color going on in here. this could also help finding for example wallet adresses, balances etc more easy for me | 23:45 |
| LambdaComplex | are you asking about coloring specific parts of the output of a command? | 23:46 |
| Extreminador | is this tuturial is still right | 23:46 |
| Extreminador | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-and-configure-sftp-server-on-ubuntu-15-04-server.html | 23:46 |
| frank1e | yes somehow | 23:46 |
| frank1e | and also | 23:46 |
| frank1e | coloring specific things in general like | 23:46 |
| SlidingHorn | frank1e, try to keep your responses to as few lines as possible. Makes things easier to keep track of | 23:47 |
| frank1e | everything that stands in between a { and a }, where special custom colors like adresses/balances override these colors | 23:47 |
| frank1e | sorry | 23:47 |
| LambdaComplex | eh, that'd require either modifying the command itself (which may or may not be feasible) or making a custom script to format the output | 23:47 |
| LambdaComplex | which wouldn't be easy either | 23:48 |
| frank1e | yes, custom script to format what is printed in my terminal | 23:48 |
| LambdaComplex | well, the script would have to run the command, look at its output, format it accordingly, and then print it | 23:48 |
| frank1e | I remember having special color themes for php, css codes etc in text editors. thought something like this would be exist for ubuntu terminal | 23:48 |
| frank1e | LambdaComplex, http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/solarized-must-have-color-paletter-for.html the screenshots I see there look perfect | 23:54 |
| frank1e | does that work for ubuntu trusty with my case of terminal usage to color things up a little? | 23:55 |
| LambdaComplex | frank1e: Is everything in your terminal currently a single color? O.o | 23:56 |
| frank1e | LambdaComplex, Yes, I use elementaryOS which is based on Ubuntu Trusty if that helps. | 23:58 |
| daftykins | !elementary | 23:58 |
| ubottu | Elementary OS is an Ubuntu derivative which is supported in their IRC channel #elementary on irc.freenode.net - http://elementaryos.org/ for more information on this distribution. | 23:58 |
| daftykins | if you guys want to talk it, please go to their channel | 23:58 |
| daftykins | we don't support it here | 23:58 |
| frank1e | (the helpchat makes it impossible to get help there, nobody helping) | 23:58 |
| frank1e | so I ask here, since this is basicly exactly the same as Ubuntu, just with a different optical style | 23:59 |
| tgm4883 | frank1e: no, it's not | 23:59 |
| daftykins | no. elementary has its' own problems, such as a lack of community | 23:59 |
| tgm4883 | lol | 23:59 |
| LambdaComplex | daftykins: I think he's noticed that part already :P | 23:59 |
| frank1e | tgm4883 well all terminal commands so far worked exactly as in ubuntu | 23:59 |
| * LambdaComplex rolls his eyes | 23:59 | |
