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

[00:13] 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?

[00:15] Ben64: Yes, I know that. My question is about/on PlayDeb, the unofficial Ubuntu games website! Thanks. :) [00:16] 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] Welshman: unofficial = not supported here [00:17] slavka`: Usually nothing, but you shouldn't log in as root, and even running a root shell is often a bad idea. [00:18] 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] 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. :) [00:19] *question [00:20] try #ubuntu-discuss Welshman [00:22] bazhang: Thanks for the suggestion.

[03:00] 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] VictoriaXOXO: did any of them work? [03:00] VictoriaXOXO: iptables -A INPUT -p icmp -i eth0 -j DROP [03:00] SeriouslyLaugh: it says "Executing 'Grub-Install /dev/sda' failed thats it [03:01] 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] VictoriaXOXO: if you're behind a NAT router, only devices on your local network can hit your host with ICMP queries. [03:01] VictoriaXOXO: then why do you want to block them? [03:01] Ben64: paranoid user that reads things then instantly wants to stop them, happened a lot in the last week or so [03:01] VictoriaXOXO: test them all, figure out why you're doing what you're doing otherwise the whole point is moot. [03:01] daftykins: This one has nothing to do with paranoia. [03:02] "If you don't know what it's for, don't mess with it" is my philosophy [03:02] VictoriaXOXO: oh, do tell [03:02] 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] sorry, how is this ubuntu related? [03:03] SeriouslyLaugh: was that for me? [03:03] in that scenario, the dentist is messing with it, and I'd hope he knows what it's for [03:03] no [03:03] SeriouslyLaugh: the original query was, but you're right - theory and reasoning is off topic [03:03] daftykins: http://pastebin.com/RbVRmRqn [03:03] VictoriaXOXO: doesn't answer the "why?" [03:03] 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 [03:04] 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] Ben64: You never follow recommendations from the people that wrote the software you want to use? [03:04] VictoriaXOXO: and turning icmp off on your computer won't affect your router at all [03:04] VictoriaXOXO: who provided this... [03:05] daftykins: https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Pre_Install_Advice#Linux [03:05] Ben64: i think this is more for a VPN VictoriaXOXO uses, again from the paranoia angle [03:05] daftykins: Nothing to do with a VPN. [03:05] Stop spreading FUD. [03:05] fact. [03:05] I just proved you 100% wrong. Lol. [03:06] then as i say, ICMP doesn't leap past the router [03:06] VictoriaXOXO: and whonix has it's own IRC channel so ask there https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Support [03:06] daftykins: Oh, you always know best. :) [03:06] somsip: Okay. :) [03:06] well, i understand what ICMP is if that's what you mean... [03:09] Hi lotuspsychje update [03:09] timmo123: did you got in? [03:09] I followed the recovery mode guide and I now have a terminal open [03:10] timmo123: from the recoverymode you should choose 'fix broken packages' not the terminal [03:11] Oh, well it didn't quite happen the way the page said [03:11] lotuspsychje: quick disk remount as rw first, no? :) [03:11] <-- hasn't been following so feel free to ignore [03:11] After I chose the recovery mode option it just booted me into terminal [03:11] i have a linksys wifi adapter, its not showing up in ifconfig. but it is listed in lsusb [03:11] how can i solve this issue? [03:12] daftykins: he upgraded trusty to 15.04 somehow, we testing if we can repair before clean :p [03:12] 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] timmo123: reboot again into the recovery and try 'fix broken packages' its an option [03:12] its over a local network and im trying to ssh to my ubuntu machine [03:13] Ok I'll try it again [03:13] syeekick: your ~/.ssh will have remained. [03:13] AcidRain: sudo lshw -C network shows driver= ? [03:13] i figured purge would of got rid of them too :-( [03:14] AcidRain: ubuntu version? [03:15] lotuspsychje, im on kali [03:15] 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] !kali | AcidRain [03:15] 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] :/ [03:15] Some fail to load, most load ok [03:16] timmo123: why did you upgrade to 15.04 exactly? [03:17] I am getting a VLC error in the video An Error Occurred Could not demuliplex stream' [03:17] RonWhoCares: after doing what [03:17] lotuspsychje: Trying to record a video [03:18] Then I was playing back the video [03:18] Now it's at the login prompt [03:18] RonWhoCares: you have the right graphics drivers enabled? [03:18] lotuspsychje: I honestly don't know. [03:18] RonWhoCares: you can check perhaps [03:18] Nothing came up with a fix broken packages option [03:19] yeah still no luck [03:19] i don't know what im doing :( [03:19] lotuspsychje: I am able to play other videos; just not what is recorded through VLC [03:19] 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 [03:21] lotuspsychje: Yes, the correct graphic driver is enabled [03:21] timmo123: then you was on 14.10? [03:21] No, I was on 14.04, pretty sure [03:22] RonWhoCares: install mediainfo and run it with "mediainfo -all " then put that in a paste on http://paste.ubuntu.com [03:22] 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] No, nothing like that [03:22] That menu never came up [03:22] RonWhoCares: do you play them with vlc [03:22] It went straight from selecting recovery mode in grub to login [03:23] timmo123: if recoverymode cant get you in, i strongly advise you clean install mate [03:23] Is there a way I can run it from that terminal? [03:23] timmo123: you can try several things like updating your system to latest [03:24] lotuspsychje: Yes, I am able to play videos through VLC [03:24] timmo123: sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade, see if that brings you further [03:24] RonWhoCares: but not the ones you recorded? [03:24] Ok, I'll try that [03:25] lotuspsychje: Correct [03:25] RonWhoCares: what extension the video have? .mkv? [03:26] lotuspsychje: It has come up with .avi [03:26] is there a way i can reset my ssh config files to default? [03:26] RonWhoCares: try what daftykins suggested [03:26] .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. [03:27] syeekick: rename .ssh to .sshold [03:28] lotuspsychje: I was working on this steps while answering your questions [03:28] daftykins: This is the paste http://paste.ubuntu.com/13499110/ [03:30] mv /etc/ssh/ssh_config ssh_old will that do it? [03:30] RonWhoCares: have you installed "ubuntu-restricted-extras" ? [03:31] no; I am now installing it [03:32] installed [03:32] daftykins: Done [03:33] now close and reopen VLC and try playing the file again [03:33] actually i don't know why i said that since VLC won't use what was installed :D [03:33] daftykins: I still have that same error. DO I need to reboot? [03:34] no [03:34] one moment [03:34] daftykins, did you look at the paste bin? [03:34] yes... [03:34] syeekick: why did you have something to add? [03:36] i don't see why im getting the same error after reinstalling ssh and deleting all configs [03:37] Lotuspsychje: no dice, it says network is unreachable for no reason I can figure out since it's weird [03:37] syeekick: oh did you paste? didn't see one. "mv ~/.ssh ~/.sshold" . [03:37] Wired [03:37] Can't ping 4.4.4.4 [03:37] I'm gonna reinstall I think [03:37] timmo123: did you choose terminal with network support [03:37] Oh, that would be a reason [03:38] Again there were no options [03:38] 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] timmo123: right, clean install and make your life easy [03:38] After I selected recovery mode it dumped me into a terminal [03:38] Yeah [03:38] timmo123: and make the right choice between lts or non-lts [03:38] Thanks for the help [03:38] go for 15.10 [03:38] http://pastebin.com/2a9M0Hhd yeah this paste bin < [03:38] it rox [03:38] timmo123: you never told me why you moved from 14.04? [03:39] Well it probably would have been fine if the machine had been used [03:39] 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] timmo123: Networking : ' systemctl enable NetworkManager.service ; systemctl start NetworkManager.service ' . [03:39] syeekick: oh you've messed with /etc/ssh/ssh_config huh? it's pointing at line 19... i suggest you... look at line 19. [03:40] Lotuspsychje: I haven't used the machine in maybe a year, I'm used to .04 being lts and .10 volatile [03:40] LTS is only every 2 years :) 14.04 + 16.04 [03:40] 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] yeah it says host [03:40] syeekick: that's useless to me [03:41] daftykins: That works. [03:41] RonWhoCares: \o/ [03:41] audio too? [03:41] Yes [03:41] RonWhoCares: may i ask what webcam created this? [03:41] and what application [03:42] The web cam is the built in HP G61 [03:42] mmhmm [03:42] The video was made by VLC Media Player [03:42] ah ok [03:42] oh of course, the file name *facepalm* [03:42] 'raw' is definitely a bad choice :) [03:42] What would you suggest I use [03:42] Bashing-om: no such file or directory [03:43] RonWhoCares: i don't have a clue what VLC offers you [03:43] ahh shit [03:43] syeekick: inappropriate language [03:43] sorry about that [03:44] im looking through my bash history and it seems i put "rm -r ssh/"as one of my commands out of frustration [03:44] well ssh/ isn't a path [03:45] seems my /etc/ssh directory has gone [03:46] timmo123: 15.04 init is systemd .. those are systemd commands to start networking .. recon you are still on upstart ? [03:47] syeekick: "dpkg -l | grep ssh | nc termbin.com 9999" [03:47] It said 15.04 when booting, but it's in recovery mode with a maybe failed upgrade from 14.04 to 15.04 [03:48] timmo123: ' ps -p1 | grep systemd && echo systemd || echo upstart ' see if you are now systemd or upstart . [03:49] You're right, it says upstart [03:50] Hah [03:50] i put that and it says http://terminbin.com/act4 [03:50] I found an old install disk that I think is 14.04 [03:50] I'm gonna try it [03:51] 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] Bashing-om: Yeah fair enough [03:51] I didn't think I had an install disk before but turns out I did i think [03:52] 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 [03:54] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code 1 [03:55] wait i'll get a screen shot [03:56] syeekick: no, we don't screenshot text... we pastebin it [03:56] though imgur may have popularised images of text being the norm, it's wrong ;) [03:57] i would lol but its on my headless machien that now has a head [03:58] blech [04:00] https://imgur.com/NeJ7TpL [04:00] my hands were shaking [04:03] https://imgur.com/24fiJsn much better picutre daftykins [04:04] ok /etc/ssh is empty but looking at the output of that command it seems nothing was removed or uninstalled [04:04] syeekick: you know, such situations are easy - you see the part where it fails so you just satisfy those issues then re-run. [04:05] so what's it saying? /etc/ssh doesn't exist... so i'd create it [04:05] that will satisfy the removal script === strictlyb is now known as sb [04:05] workaround: just create a /etc/ssh/ [04:06] ok so mkdir /etc/ssh [04:07] i don't like that you use your system as root :) [04:07] note you don't need to use 'sudo' when you are [04:07] force of habit [04:13] dpkg: error processing package openssh-server (--purge) subprocess installed post-removal script error exit status 1 opeen ssh-server E: sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code 1 < new error [04:14] wait [04:14] "opeen ssh-server" [04:14] its gone [04:14] ah just your type up i guess :P [04:14] ok don't forget the "apt-get clean" [04:14] ok sweet [04:14] im on track [04:18] ok they are all installed and still getting the same error on my client box [04:19] right but you're meant to move the ~/.ssh on the client end right [04:19] oh i did that on the server end [04:20] :D [04:20] All of you suck especially k1l_!! Ubuntu needs to stop pretending it's not Linux! Ubuntu needs to stop being adware for Amazon! Ubuntu sends everything you type in Unity to Canonical! Ubuntu spies on you more than Windows! [04:23] well that told us [04:25] daftykins thanks for all your help [04:25] working? [04:25] no but i can't bug you anymore it's not fair [04:26] well at least provide a fresh pastebin so someone knows [04:26] +what to work with [04:28] would using telnet and setting to listen only over local be a dangerous thing to do? === intmed is now known as intmedvishnu [04:29] syeekick: lol, just fix it === intmedvishnu is now known as vishnu_pradeep [04:32] syeekick, what problem ?

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] Now* [05:11] can ya ping it? [05:11] Yeah [05:11] I can connect to the http server no problem [05:12] maybe something missing from the cron job? [05:12] what happens if you delete the crom job? [05:12] 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] kk [05:12] @reboot /var/ts/teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64/ts3server_startscript.sh start [05:13] is this from their own docs of how to do it?

[05:22] yeah, i did "kill 681", 681 being the proccess i believe [05:22] suppose i could reboot just to be safe [05:26] ok so i removed it from the cronjob and started it manually and it worked o_o [05:26] and for some reason, i cant view the logs [05:29] where can I get a list of generally acceptable root CA's for my ubuntu openSSL installation [05:32] this maybe? https://www.geotrust.com/resources/root-certificates/ === Lamp is now known as Flechas [05:47] Heard there was nice folks here [05:49] that depends :) [05:54] are there websites that helps you discover interesting linux software/applications? better yet, one that allows you to find and compare all software of the same type?

[06:15] 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] like what [06:15] joeytwiddle: lot more work for a simple task [06:15] i'd fix the ubuntu wireless driver so there's no 'bandwidth' problem myself ;) [06:16] dion, i dont believe you can change permission on a file without sudo [06:16] nitish, install ia32-libs (and maybe ia32-libs-gtk and ia32-libs-sdl) [06:16] hey guys, im having some odd issues: [06:17] so am i ;) [06:17] bit im helping other people instead lol [06:17] joeytwiddle: E: Unable to locate package ia32-libs-gtk [06:17] joeytwiddle: pretty sure that's an outdated approach [06:18] 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] joey, try "dpkg --add-architecture i386" firsty [06:18] first* [06:18] Flechas: recoverymode/fix broken packages can help [06:19] Flechas: or manually remove nvidia driver and reinstall nouveau [06:19] but I can do all that from recovery, right? [06:19] Flechas: sudo apt-get purge nvidia* [06:19] done [06:19] Flechas: if things go right yes [06:20] 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] what card do you have? [06:20] Flechas: ubuntu version and card chipset? [06:20] version chasing is pretty pointless [06:21] there might be something else to the problem as well. I'm dualbooting osx and ubuntu [06:21] on a mac or... [06:21] 15.10 Geforce GT 330M [06:21] hackintosh? [06:21] hello? am i connected? [06:22] futurama140: [06:22] could be some propietary apple bs interfering [06:22] naaa, just dualbooting with Refind [06:22] SentientTootsieR this is wrong > joey, try "dpkg --add-architecture i386" as ubuntu is already multiarch [06:22] oi. i have no idea if my question even posted because i keep getting DCed [06:22] Then maybe he needs to add something to the repository? [06:22] 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 [06:23] maybe you don't want to use hardware accelerated drivers at all! [06:24] i hope this isnt spamming [06:24] thats correct as well. maybe I don't. it just adds new pretty features :P [06:24] it would be nice. just want to try and revert easy [06:24] futurama140, none of us can hear you :( [06:24] futurama140, j/k. we didn't see your odd issue, just that you had one ;) [06:24] Flechas: then it's got hardware issues, an OS Isn't going to avoid that [06:25] im in a hotel, and using a laptop with 14.04 and a monopiece wireless N adapter [06:25] my wifi is intermitent at best [06:25] the router is a netgear home router ssid: NETGEAR60 and is located probably 50 feet away [06:25] when i try plugging the usb wifi into a usb extension cord it will not connect to the network at all. [06:25] 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] anyone have any idea why im getting any of these problems? [06:25] woah [06:25] that is spamming though. the bot says so! [06:25] yeah looks like your hotel's shitty wifi can't transmit anything quickly enough [06:25] yes, cheap USB extension = can't provide enough power [06:25] !language | SentientTootsieR [06:25] SentientTootsieR: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [06:26] daftykins: I hear you, but so far it has done just that. when I'm on OSX, it crashes at very specific instances (certain websites, external monitor conect), but in Ubuntu, I'm just hanging out. no crashes. its great [06:26] speed has nothing to do with signal. [06:26] now it would be nice to use the extra features of the GPU [06:26] oooh there was a command i used to send to our dodgy WiFi USB to tell it to draw less power [06:26] is there any way to work around this? [06:26] less power is just going to make the signal weaker ¬_¬ [06:27] yes buy a better adapter [06:27] 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] it might. have you used public wifi? it sucks [06:27] something like that I've been reading online. yessss [06:27] daftykins, in our case it stopped the device from failing altogether [06:28] i tried increasing the power to the usb wifi to "30" (whatever that means) but the hardware wont allow it [06:28] im having the same issues with my cyanogenmod nook tablet as well. [06:28] sounds more like you're talking about disabling power management, not reducing power [06:28] futurama140: move room... [06:28] i really don't see how anything OS based can do anything for you [06:28] ask the front desk person to reset the router? [06:29] daftykins: yea i wish [06:29] 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] what's so dream requiring about changing a room o0 [06:29] daftykins, it worked. i was there. you weren't. :P [06:29] joeytwiddle: well that's nice [06:29] unfortunately anecdotal evidence is worth 0 in the real world [06:30] my hotel is packed [06:30] its where parole puts people who just got out of prison so its always packed [06:30] if it's anecdotal, is it really evidence? [06:30] messing with txpower does not work that way. [06:30] sure, just not scientifically accredited evidence [06:31] Is Nautilus using samba to connect to smb:// adresses? I tried using the "Connect to server" button to connect to a Windows share, and it always fail with: Unhandled error message: Failed to mount Windows share: Invalid argument [06:31] messing with txpower via a power supply and homemade antenna on the other hand... [06:31] But if I try on the command line using smbclient, it works! [06:31] Apteryx: did you type smb://IP address/sharename ? [06:31] daftykins: I used the domain name [06:32] you mean host name? [06:32] But I did try using the IP, and got the same error. I'll try again just to make sure. [06:32] daftykins: yes, sorry, host name. [06:32] Would \\hostname\folder work? [06:32] just a guess [06:32] SentientTootsieR: Actually I have no choice to use a folder, because the root is restricted. [06:32] well, wrong direction slashes and i don't think nautilus behaves like explorer on Windows, no [06:33] joeytwiddle: Error for wireless request "Set Tx Power" (8B26) : [06:33] SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not permitted. [06:33] ah ok [06:33] daftykins: the annoying part is I have to leave irssi to test (VPN on a network that blocks irc port... duh) [06:33] 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$ [06:34] not that i've memorised that or anything... *whistle* [06:34] daftykins: OK, but this is a corporate network, I cannot change the settings freely :) [06:34] daftykins: the strange thing is I could connect using smbclient. [06:34] how come you're file sharing then o0 [06:35] well you could just mount it via CLI [06:35] 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.

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] no way to make my wifi better then, eh? [06:37] futurama140: doubt it's the OS's fault [06:37] move room or buy a better adapter [06:38] Apteryx: does nautilus even get as far as prompting for login details? [06:39] daftykins: yes [06:39] and you enter DOMAIN\username and password? [06:39] daftykins: There is a field for DOMAIN, so yes, I enter it. [06:40] and you could run nautilus from the terminal to see error output [06:40] daftykins: that's a good idea [06:40] Let me try these 2 things... I'll have to quit irc for a couple minutes. [06:41] Thanks for the help if I don't see you again :) [06:41] it's pretty much law you have to report back!

[07:47] futurama140, you must expand the .zx file [07:47] its something like tar.gz [07:47] Does Ubuntu not let me select the default sound device on my machine natively? [07:47] tar xvfJ filename.tar.xz [07:47] well tar is something like an compressed rar or zip file [07:47] Hello, anyone free?

[07:54] OpenSorce: lol I mean Sys Admin [07:55] linux specialist [07:55] OpenSorce, effed up config file.. :P [07:55] corrected [07:55] that can help me with myserver (for payment) [07:55] or free , what ever he/she decide [07:56] 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. [07:57] OpenSorce, nope.. it's just the config.. :) thanks for noticing [07:58] AnakinSky, no worries :-) [07:58] honestly i'm new to this whole IRC chatting..

[08:02] futurama140: tar is like a zip file [08:02] geirha: ls is aliased to `ls --color=auto' [08:02] Now my question again, is Ubuntu not able to natively change the default audio output device? [08:03] futurama140: u have to untar it first === kerdel is now known as VenomByte [08:03] futurama140: look here for info http://askubuntu.com/questions/25347/what-command-do-i-need-to-unzip-extract-a-tar-gz-file [08:03] I mean I can edit files and reboot to get it done, but no way to do it on the fly? [08:03] 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] yea i know. ive extracted the tar file. what do i do with the stuff in it? [08:04] futurama140: depends, what did u download? [08:04] geirha: mkdir is hashed (/bin/mkdir) [08:04] OpenSorce: yes you can switch audio output on the fly [08:04] OpenSorce: what are you trying to edit? [08:05] venombyte: CRDA and wireless-regdb [08:05] VenomByte, how would I do that? I haven't found that functionality in Unity. [08:05] Kartagis: Hm. Then maybe the filesystem is the weird one out [08:05] VenomByte, the editing comment was refering to using ALSA [08:06] has any one over here replaced pulse audio with Alsa ? in 15.10 [08:08] futurama140: after you did extract the files can u see something like a install.sh or make file? [08:09] OpenSorce: I don't really get what you are trying, is it changing your output device or making edits to unity?? [08:09] venombyte: makefile [08:09] have a nice day guys! [08:10] 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] VenomByte, forget the editing. [08:11] OpenSorce, I thought that is default behaviour? [08:12] geirha: it was probably because I accidentally overwrote on the partition using dd [08:13] 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. [08:16] cant belive ubuntu made an 14 year old laptop come alive again [08:18] any suggestions as to what programs and apps i should use? just got the VLC player and it just worked fine.. the dvd works reallyy great [08:20] hey i have a game, kq1vga.exe installed through wine. the resolution is 320x200. i have found no way of increasing t. is there some way to do that?

Any ides where that one picks the choices from? [08:25] ha1dfo, from .deb? better to do that from the ppa [08:25] google-chrome? Please advise which one to use [08:25] ha1dfo, oh wait, chrome, not chromium [08:26] cfhowlett, I can select chromium, firefox and sometihng that looks like safari from the default browser list; but not the google-chrome-stable nor google-chrome-beta === Alphakarem is now known as Guest79050 [08:27] ha1dfo, I'm on xubuntu, so my environment is quite different from yours. ask again in channel, someone will know. [08:27] OK [08:27] why not just use firefox that comes with ubuntu? [08:28] Skrank, this is a corporate laptop, plenty of internal sites that work best with chrome. [08:28] oh, ok [08:29] just figured since the firefox accually works really well] [08:29] Skrank, was using an install from like 2 years ago and kept updating it; it worked well, but thought i'll give a chance for a fresh install [08:29] ha1dfo: try sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser [08:29] ha1dfo, "infernal sites". ftfy :) [08:29] i hear you ..

[08:47] rardo: edit your .bashrc [08:47] rardo: add an alias to make 'gedit' link to 'subl [08:48] and that would be located where? [08:48] how do i install a makefile?

[08:52] futurama140: first write ./configure [08:52] futurama140: then make [08:53] futurama140: followed by sudo make install [08:53] futurama140: sorry busy with work [08:53] !build [08:53] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [08:53] : any specific folders or just under options?

[08:56] ~ brb [08:57] venombyte: it's downloading [08:57] rardo: If you just want to change the default editor from gedit to subl, then overriding gedit with a function or alias won't help you.

XD [08:57] do you know of any sorces for ubuntu voice to txt apps?/code [08:58] 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] rardo: Oh, odd.

[09:09] the /home is in a different partition [09:10] As far as I can tell there isn't a php.ini in that .deb, or php5 or php5-common, though php5-common has default php.ini files (like -development), so I just wanted to see if it gets it from there [09:10] futurama140: what was the point if wanting to build CRDA?

[09:19] futurama140, told you before: messing with txpower does not work that way. [09:19] futurama140: USB devices typically don't have very effecient antennas [09:20] futurama140: Yes.

Any ideas? :) [10:57] futurama140: that's helpful. line 818 is an example of why its disassociating [10:59] TJ-: so is it something fixable? [10:59] futurama140: now report this: "pastebinit <( iwconfig wlan0; sudo iwlist wlan0 scan )" [11:00] vooze: `patch < the.patch` is usually a good start.

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." [11:13] TJ-: so what are my options for fixing it? [11:14] futurama140: is the PC using 15.04 Vivid? [11:14] TJ-: 14.04 LTS [11:15] futurama140: ahhh, with the LTS Enablement pack [11:16] TJ-: in the software center? [11:17] ddr_: can you boot a live usb? [11:17] 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] TJ-: how d i go about doing that? [11:17] 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? [11:18] Pricey, like it says: diff --git a/drivers/rtc/class.c b/drivers/rtc/class.c [11:18] vooze: from the base of the kernel source-code tree: "patch -p1 < path/to/patc/file.diff" [11:19] 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] vooze: "man patch" you'll see '-pX' strips off X path directory components [11:20] ddr_: boot a live usb [11:20] wtf, I booted Ubuntu Desktop 15.10 as live CD and I can't install gddrescue. The package is not found even after apt-get update. [11:20] !info gddrescue [11:20] gddrescue (source: gddrescue): GNU data recovery tool. In component universe, is optional.

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] is the wheel group used at all on modern Ubuntu? [11:24] Pricey, ah okay, I'll give it a try :) thanks for your help so far. [11:25] Pricey, could it be that the ubuntu kernel is a bit modified and I should try a "clean" kernel? [11:26] eric, already bootesd [11:26] 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. === Arab_Atheist is now known as Arab_Aspie [11:27] Pricey, ah okay :) i'll look into what the ubuntu kernel have different is that file :) [11:27] EriC^^, already booted [11:28] If I get ata1: comreset failed (errno=-16) while booting up (and then it gives up), is there a way I can ask Ubuntu to retry once it's fully booted up?

[12:45] DrSlony: 'git' [12:50] jpds thank you [12:59] Hello! Apport wanted to report a xorg bug. Where is that bug sent, and where can I find it? Is there a bug entry for it? [13:00] 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] information* [13:02] !bugtracker | wootehfoot [13:02] wootehfoot: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [13:03] 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 [13:04] TJ-, thank you, this is the answer I was looking for. [13:05] 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] TJ-, that security concern can't be seen from the bug data alone [13:06] 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 [13:07] anyone have experience with wine here? [13:07] TJ-, you're telling me the xorg crashed, and triggered an immediate handover? [13:07] (without the need to fully logout?) [13:11] 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] is there some sort of wizzard to integrate ubuntu to windows AD available? [13:11] 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 [13:12] from the official repositories [13:12] AtuM: you really don't want to do that with a wizard [13:12] ikonia, I really do [13:12] you don't as it will break [13:12] it really is a per use basis [13:12] hi, why are some games from 2 years ago are missing from the software centre? [13:13] TJ-, I see [13:13] ...-are [13:14] ikonia, some "official" aka "supported" way to integrate should be possible with a wizzard.. things can be built on top of that later [13:15] integration like this https://dubious.cse.unsw.edu.au/drupal/cifs-kerberos should come out-of-the-box by now [13:17] n1n0: what games?

[13:25] futurama140 - you could also try #winehq . more chance of getting an answer [13:25] promille: ok thanks [13:26] futurama140, there is a remake? for the original you should probably use scummvm http://www.scummvm.org/screenshots/agi/kq/ [13:27] 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.

Where can i see the mount options provided there? Like explanationis of the mount options which are in the fstab file!? [14:04] ArchNoob: "man 5 fstab" for the file format and "man mount" for the mount options [14:06] mcphail: I tried man mount and started searching for "nousid" (one of the options i know and a prove if they are there) but i didn't find it. [14:08] mcphail: Aww.. Thank You I had a typo.. ^_^ [14:09] ArchNoob: ha! [14:10] ArchNoob: the "man mount" page is veeeeeery long, but has all the info you need :) [14:10] how to tail?

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

[15:08] using MATE [15:08] dweidler: hmmm, not used that. I don't have those issues with LXDE, XFCE or KDE on 6 a monitor system [15:09] dweidler, try in #ubuntu-mate [15:09] dweidler: but all the montors are identical resolution. It sounds like a scaling/panning issue [15:09] dweidler, running mate here too, desktop icons are finnicky too [15:09] dweidler: is the larger monitor set as the primary? [15:09] Apparently yes [15:10] dweidler: it might be worth experimenting with a smaller monitor set as primary [15:10] dweidler, what version are you running ? [15:10] the latest one. How to set a screen to primary? Can't see any option in screen settings [15:11] dweidler, theres a command for that, 1 sec [15:11] dweidler: "man xrandr" [15:11] or that yeah [15:12] dweidler, https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-control-center/issues/17 (jarrpa, 08-04-2013) [15:12] dweidler: either "--noprimary" or "--primary" depending on what experiment you want to do, and which R&R version is supported [15:16] 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 [15:17] I have the latest mate installed on another PC, when I boot it does not load the usbwifi, but on lsusb it is there.

[15:45] 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] ch_ here's a link to the privacy policy: http://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/privacy-policy [15:46] ch_: firefox collects data for advertising purposes [15:46] i guess the ghostery plugin can prevent that [15:47] I would guess it would [15:47] 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] ch_: you can turn it off on unity, that it generates online results, btw [15:48] 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] privacy* [15:48] ch_: but logging doesnt mean that this gets send to any 3rd parties outside. [15:49] 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] :) [15:49] then don't use it [15:49] if you're in any doubt - don't use it [15:50] you have no reason to think any of this that I can see, [15:50] ch_: they dont steal your data. [15:50] so no logical discussion is going to put your mind at ease [15:50] if in doubt - don't use it [15:50] yeah, you can't reasons someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into [15:50] * nicomachus seriouslylaughs [15:51] * mcphail thinks it is perfectly reasonable to check these things out before installing an OS [15:51] 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] y i know. was thinking of ubuntu since its made for ubuntu or i will do it the hard way with arch... [15:58] 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.

[16:07] I have a question. When I logout and change over from Metacity compiz to Metacity classic, I lose the wallpaper it just turns black? cant change it when I try in appearance.

I locked my screen, came back to my computer and found that everything was frozen. I tried to reboot, but the fan kept spooling up, slowing down and stopping....with nothing happening on the screen [16:10] If I shut it off and power on, I get the same thing. Fan spools up, then slows down, stops, then spools up again without anything appearing on the screen, not even bios [16:13] rettop: sounds like hardware rather than software problem [16:14] yeah, for some reason #hardware won't let me in. it tells me I cannot send to channel [16:14] MonkeyDust: will check em out! thanks [16:14] no idea why?

[16:19] Paul-Z: maybe #python would be a better place to ask... [16:19] Pici, Oh, Sorry, I think yes... [16:19] prorietary [16:19] Can anyone tell my why preseeding a fresh install of 14.04 fails after searching for dists/precise-updates/Release, which doesn't even exist on the 14.04 installer DVD? [16:20] 14.04 is trusty not precise [16:20] Why would a fresh install need to reference updates/Release, especially after already having verified precise/Release? [16:20] 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] mcphail: ok ;D [16:20] thanks anyway :) [16:21] freakyy: :) [16:21] freaky: sorry I confused the two [16:21] But that begs the question further. [16:22] Why does a fresh install of trusty fail upon not finding an upgrade path for precise machines? [16:23] Shouldn't the installer be able to recognize a fresh installation, and skip that part? [16:23] If not, then shouldn't the trusty image come with a dists/precise-update/Release path? [16:23] O roll on 16.04 and pray the installer is better [16:25] 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] might be getting some loving with nomodeset [16:27] nat0: wonder why you are using xubuntu as a production server [16:27] I'm not [16:27] Where did you get xubuntu from? [16:28] It's a stock ubuntu-14.04.3-server-amd64.iso image [16:28] Being booted from a cobbler PXE deployment server. [16:28] sry, getting my channels mixed up, statment still stands, why ubuntu for a production server [16:28] With a preseed file. [16:28] Because some clients want to use ubuntu. [16:28] Believe me if I could not use it I wouldn't. [16:29] Ubuntu is a PITA compared to Debian or CentOS. [16:29] what is best for production server [16:30] will_wielder: Standards depend on where you are. [16:30] Most US MSPs use CentOS. In Europe the standard is SUSE. [16:30] nat0 you're free not to use ubuntu [16:30] I prefer Debian. It's very frustrating how Ubuntu devs arbitrarily rename packages, or interfaces in /dev, etc. [16:31] Omg [16:31] Thanks MonkeyDust. [16:31] I'll tell that to the client paying 5000/mo to provision their servers here. [16:31] nat0: for 5k a month, suck it up and stop whinging [16:31] Yeah cuz all that money goes into my pockets. [16:31] Are there adults here/ [16:32] Perhaps with sysadmin experience? [16:32] Or is this a teenage alphanerd desktop support channel? [16:32] nat0 i havent followed... there's also #ubuntu-server [16:32] nat0: there are plenty of experienced adults here. Do you have a support question? [16:32] nat0: #ubuntu-server for server and #ubuntu-offtopic for ranting [16:32] Thanks MonkeyDust, mcphail. [16:33] mcphail: offtopic isn't for ranting. !guidelines apply there too [16:34] nat0: I've a feeling you know more about ubuntu installs than me. I take it you got some VM setup going [16:36] I can have only one public key (id_rsa.pub)? Where the same public key would be in all my servers (.ssh). [16:37] 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] cfdisk [16:37] or fdisk if you like [16:37] Does someone knows nother GUI Conky manager then the usual "conky manager" [16:37] 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 ;-) [16:38] it doesn't find an OS at all... [16:38] numnum4me: that's the only one I know of. [16:38] shreez: cgdisk / gdisk for gpt partition table [16:38] 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] (or whatever boot manager is used in 14.04) [16:39] EriC^^: does ubuntu have cfdisk by default? [16:39] functionoverform: yeah [16:39] thanks [16:39] np [16:46] ohai, my fn-left key is being used magically as a screen configuration swap thing [16:46] (like win+P on a windows machine, it cycles between duplicating between two screens, having both separate screens, and having only one screen on) [16:47] can I disable that because fn-left is also my decrease backlight brightness key [16:54] Im trying to set a USB ethernet adapter to start automatically. Ive added the driver to the startup files, but it still wont start [16:56] 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] MWM: what do you mean by "wont start"? [16:57] n1n0: it probably says which command is unknown? [16:58] 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] nor is it listed in the ifconfig -- which it usually is [16:59] MWM, does sudo service network-manager restart do anything?

[17:03] but basically just write what you want to a file, chmod +x filename [17:04] and put it in /bin/bash if you want to create a custome command. [17:04] http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/84686/how-to-create-custom-commands-in-unix-linux [17:05] MWM, use the command "sudo chmod 755 network-restart.sh" to change the permissions. [17:05] MWM, move the script to /etc/init.d [17:05] is "+x" the actual argument or meant to be a variable for whatever permissions I want to set? [17:05] i want to know which all udev scripts create nodes inside /dev folder?? [17:05] can anybody please help me? [17:06] Ahhh. thanks guys. Ill drop back in if it doesnt work :) [17:06] hiwk just returns "unknown command" [17:06] MWM, finally make sym link to /etc/rc4.d and append S07 or something like that [17:06] thanks for the link BTW [17:06] 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? [17:07] MWM, http://askubuntu.com/questions/228304/how-do-i-run-a-script-at-start-up [17:07] Peanut: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [17:07] nicomachus: thanks. That gives me the per-release versions of the packages, but I would like to see the inside of those packages. [17:08] dev__: the list of installed udev rules is got with "dpkg -L udev" [17:09] okay [17:09] thanks for the info [17:09] will check it [17:09] 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] 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 [17:10] mcphail: ah, that might be useful, thanks. [17:10] Peanut: any specific package in question you're looking for? We can point you where you need to go [17:10] nicomachus: I was hoping to prevent that, but that would work as well, yes. [17:10] 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] teward: the partman-auto udeb package. Something seems to have changed between Precise and Trusty which I'm trying to track down. [17:12] Peanut: https://code.launchpad.net/partman-auto [17:12] Peanut: does that help? [17:13] mcphail: great, that seems to be just what I was looking for. [17:13] 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] ive got no rc4 driector in /etc/init.d .... create it? [17:13] 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] *directory [17:14] hiwk should I have the "uni/multiverse" repository thing enabled somewhere? [17:14] 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. [17:16] Peanut: indeed. Good hunting, and good luck! [17:19] hiwk the ref. link here http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Catalyst-Linux-Installer-Notes.aspx#Install [17:19] hi [17:20] Have anyone tried to use strace to find out what files are written? [17:20] 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] I need this for a workaround for a game called Unturned which fails to hide the system cursor [17:21] Guy1524: are you running it in Wine? [17:21] no [17:21] native? [17:21] I am running the native version [17:21] ok. come on over to #gamingonlinux and we can help you out there. this isn't really an ubuntu question. [17:21] why would I be getting Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) as a result of apt-get install or autoremove? [17:22] 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] nah it's most likely in-game. [17:23] Kartagis: try 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' and then run your install again [17:23] I know that the problem is with the game, but the solution I want has nothing to do with the game [17:25] nicomachus: Errors were encountered while processing: [17:25] Kartagis: when you tried dpkg --configure -a? [17:26] no, dpkg ran smoothly [17:26] after that [17:26] sorry, yes [17:26] ok, can you paste the full output at paste.ubuntu.com and then link here?

What's the output of 'sudo ls -la /boot'? [17:32] nicomachus: I see many images not related to my kernel [17:32] Kartagis: yep, gonna have to manually remove some. Can you paste the full output on paste.ubuntu.com and link here? [17:33] http://termbin.com/5d2w [17:33] nicomachus: ^ [17:33] that's not it...

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [17:40] any software for that [17:40] finch_: can you explain what you're trying to do a little more? [17:40] recover what kind of file? from what kind of usb? [17:41] i have deleted my file from my usb drive i want it back [17:42] and software to recover the file [17:43] finch_: you may find this helpful: https://askubuntu.com/questions/3883/how-to-recover-deleted-files [17:43] ok [17:43] what type of filesystem is the USB using?

[17:46] finch_: there is, but first you have to tell me what kind of filesystem the USB uses. ext3, NTFS, FAT? [17:46] ntfs [17:46] i was removing pulseaudio and asla-base and ended up with in this :( === Piper-Off is now known as Monthrect [17:47] i will do what u show [17:47] finch_: then testdisk is probably your best option. see more here: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/testdisk/ [17:48] nicomachus, do have any solution other than clean :( bcz it's not working and i dont want to install all cousmizationand my softwares from again in new ubuntu [17:49] oaulakh: Try just installing pulseaudio* and alsa-base*, see what happens. You've got a LOT going on in that paste. [17:50] its not working too :( [17:51] this paste was from some ubuntu form and i try install my system packages from that thing but nothing seems working [17:51] hi all; I am using a piece of software installed under ubuntu server 14.04; how do I uninstall it correctly ? [17:51] parapan: how did you install it? [17:52] Pici: the software is youtruck ...a track issue software ..by running ./youtrack.sh if I recall correctly === ubuntu is now known as Guest92768 [17:53] hiya, i messed up with the usb somehow and now it wont mount [17:53] can any one tell how to fix an unreadable usb drive [17:53] "the USB?" [17:53] nothing happens, the partition table cant be deleted, it can be formatted [17:54] parapan: You'll need to look at the youtrack documentation then, as that doesn't describe a standard install process. [17:54] i tried dding something to it, that also wont work [17:54] use dd to wipe the table by writing some zeroes on [17:54] how? [17:54] you just said you did that already. [17:54] daftykins: it cant read the usb [17:54] i did sudo dd if=some big file of=/dev/sdb [17:55] Pici: that's the problem, they do not have a procedure for it; I want to re-install the software, but on a clean environment ...to be sure i'm doing everything correctly .. [17:55] it says io error cant sync [17:55] i think it happened when i tried to reformat it and it was still mounted [17:55] Guest92768: then it just sounds dead. [17:55] try another port + PC. [17:56] ok, it was a nice usb sigh [17:56] they're a dime a dozen these days, you'll get over it ;) [17:56] hey, i forgot to tell this [17:57] there are two partitions on the usb and the second partition gets mounted [17:57] the first one is problematic [17:57] is it read only... [17:58] Pici: sorry . . .some times one should just read all pages . . . ".If the previous version was installed from ZIP: delete the old installation directory."" [17:58] checking [17:59] how to see if it is read only? [18:00] i copied a file to it, it was there for a minute, then i removed the drive and reinserted, it was gone === ^cj^ is now known as ^CJ^ === ndancer is now known as Guest59314 [18:01] i made a txt file on it, wrote characters and saved but it said the same thing io error [18:01] so now its gone? [18:03] Hi :) [18:03] try another system and try another USB port... [18:04] Tomorrow i get a new 500GB SSD. Which size would you recommend for / and /home partitions? [18:05] you know what software you use, check your current disk usage. [18:06] AlexRednax: ^^ totally subjective to how you use your system and furure plans on the software that you "might" install . [18:09] daftykins, thanks, but i threw it out the window ;D i feel relieved [18:11] that usb was bad, it had attitude >.< so it wont work the way it should [18:11] quit [18:12] I'm using Chromium and I need adobe flash 10. How do I install it? Can't find it on Software center [18:12] Bernzel: sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree - it's not v10, that's ancient. [18:13] thanks! Do I need to restart for it to take change? [18:17] Bernzel: the browser yes [18:19] anyone here using gnome 3 ? when I log out, i don't get logged out immediatly ... it takes about 30 seconds ... there is a timeout .. i am not sure why ... how can I get rid of that ? [18:20] hey all. Recently (can't realy determine when exactly) my networkmanager service isn't starting. I have to start it manually. Is this a way to correct this? [18:21] hello to all people [18:22] * lickalott waves [18:23] hmm didn't work daftykins [18:25] lickalott: Check in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf to make sure managed=true is there in the [ifupdown] section [18:26] 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. [18:28] 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! [18:30] genii: lickalott "managed=false" is how it should be; that controls whether NM tries to interfere with interfaces declared manually in /etc/network/interfaces [18:31] 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 [18:32] TJ-, so keep it false in the .conf - copy. How can i determine if it is enabled to auto start? systemctl? [18:32] 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] lickalott: which Ubuntu release is it? [18:33] 15.04 [18:33] err... [18:33] 15.10 [18:33] lickalott: we have *three* init systems to work with :) ... you sure? 15.10 means systemd then [18:33] i'm starting to think it may have happened after the update [18:33] 15.10 sir. 100% === intel is now known as Guest8344 [18:34] lickalott: OK "journalctl -u NetworkManager.service" will show you the log of that service [18:35] zuippo: Really, does not make a lot of sense to me as the minimal (14.04)has no WIFI support . Maybe make sure the hardware is switched off, wired connection is plugged in and try the install once more ?? [18:36] TJ-, this was the first "failed" [18:36] nm_device_get_device_type: assertion 'NM_IS_DEVICE (self)' failed [18:36] TJ-: on fire! :D [18:36] this was the 2nd - failed to enumerate oFono devices: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.ofono was not provided by any .service [18:38] Bashing-om: I'm using the 15.10 minimal from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD the wlan module is builtin and I don't want to use a screwdriver to install ubuntu :D. I'm trying to unload the kernel module [18:39] what's a recommended ubuntu backup backup tool that includes a cli? [18:40] rsync [18:41] zuippo: I am surprised that ANY WIFI support is in the default minimal environment . Is this a laptop with a WIFI toggle switch to turn on/off the WIFI ? === tsimonq2 is now known as simonquigley === simonquigley is now known as tsimonq2 [18:41] please anyone explain to me why I might be getting this on resume from hibernation. https://gist.github.com/webzorg/bfea833f4348a49290f1 I also get the following error sometimes that the UEFI variable memory is full and whether to clean it or not. [18:43] lickalott: best to pastebin the entire log: "journalctl -u NetworkManager.service | pastebinit" [18:43] Bashing-om: ip link show tells me it detects only a single network device. The minimal installer tells me it failed to scan for wlan networks and asks me for an SSID and if it's WPA/TKIP or WEP. I think the installer detects the ethernet card as wlan... It is a laptop, i will try to switch wlan of and run ip list show again [18:43] k. wait 1 [18:44] zuippo: sounds like that may be caused by systemd-udevd and its naming scheme. what's the name of the network interface? [18:44] TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13504825/ === tsimonq2 is now known as tsq2 [18:45] TJ-: wlp0sp or something like that === tsq2 is now known as tsimonq2 [18:46] Ouch! I've just found a ~20 year old bug in every single package in Debian and all derivative archives - trust me to do unconventional things ! [18:46] signon-ui crashed with SIGSEGV .... because Im running headless? [18:47] TJ-: Is that for real? [18:47] zuippo: right, and the 'wl' prefix is given to Wireless. What device is the chipset, can you tell with "lspci -nnd ::0200' [18:47] TJ-: wlp2s0b1 to be precise. Any way to force it to use it as a wired connection? [18:47] TJ-: Trusted to "read the code". when it makes no sense, finds out why ! === tsimonq2 is now known as walterlapchynski === kyle is now known as Guest75502 === walterlapchynski is now known as tsimonq2 [18:48] How do you get the unity launcher bar unstuck? [18:48] pers3us: yeah, it's a weird one, a 'convention' but it bites if you do things unconventionally [18:48] It's set to autohide, but now it's stuck out, and the damned thing wont pop back away :/ [18:48] TJ-: Is it with packaging? [18:49] TJ-: Broadcom BCM57780 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe [14e4:1629] [18:49] pers3us: yes [18:49] TJ-: Link for issue tracker? [18:50] lickalott: right, let's check the service status: "systemctl status NetworkManager.service" tell us what the 3rd line "Loaded: ..." shows [18:50] pers3us: none as yet, I need to figure out how to report it... diplomatically [18:51] TJ-: Oh, that kind of a bug :D [18:52] 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] 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] zuippo: no, that was for lickalott [18:52] TJ-: sorry thought you confused name since it also sounded network related :x [18:53] zuippo: so, the problem (bug) is udevd thinking that 14e4:1629 is wireless and giving the i/f a "wl" prefix [18:53] TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13504913/ [18:53] TJ-: and there is no way to force the minimal cd to treat it as an ethernet connection? [18:54] TJ-: That is weird. Why would they assume that root will always be UID 0? [18:54] 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 [18:56] 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. [18:57] lickalott: how do you determine, at boot-time, that network manager isn't running? [18:58] Does Ubuntu release a dhcp lease when the system is shutdown with the "shutdown -h now" command? [18:58] 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] Or do I have to manually release the dhcp lease before shutdown? [18:59] foul_owl: generally it keeps the lease. I think you can custom-configure dhclient to release [19:00] TJ-: Interesting. What exactly is this distro? [19:00] Hey all, anyone here able to give a hand with port binding issue I'm having? [19:00] Ah gotcha. I ran out of leases from testing too many vms! [19:00] 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 [19:01] netstat shows apache is bound to that one IP [19:01] pers3us: me respinning Ubuntu for security integration, self-healing, and general joined-up thinking :) [19:01] ...and yet when I try to start up the service on the other IP, it throws me a bind error... [19:03] 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] TJ-: Nice, ya saw deboostrap, they are using forcing UID 0 to tar it.. [19:03] foul_owl: I think "dhclient -r" should release [19:04] Sounds good! [19:04] I was curious what the default behavior was [19:04] foul_owl: see /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.leases for the current/expired leases === osama is now known as s000m225 [19:06] join #zuba_hlod [19:06] #zuba_hlod [19:06] mmm [19:06] TJ-: Distro Name?

I sent you a PM btw TJ- [19:15] :D [19:17] pers3us: oh, sorry, I have umode +g so don't get them [19:18] TJ-: I got a response back saying u have g+ :D [19:19] TJ-: Just wanted to know more about this distro you are working on. [19:22] 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] is it a known bug ? [19:22] Virus possibility ? [19:22] cyber37: scrolling in what? [19:23] y video on Ubuntu is lagging too much in virtual box??? [19:23] subjz: You need to enable 3D acceleration [19:23] with the mouse [19:23] in everything [19:23] a web page, eclipse etc [19:24] subjz: see here: https://www.maketecheasier.com/enable-3d-acceleration-in-virtualbox/ [19:24] I scroll down, then i can scroll up "a litle" [19:24] But if i scroll up it stop scrolling after some lines and then i can't scroll up while i don't scroll down [19:25] I don't know if it's a know issue on ubuntu , or what [19:25] Maybe if the mouse was HS i will be not able to scroll up after a scroll down .. [19:25] cyber37: never heard of such an issue [19:25] oh wait ! [19:25] I see that in the console it work perfectly [19:26] i can scroll all the history messages of irssi [19:26] if doesn't stop scrolling [19:28] hi [19:32] !pm | subjz [19:32] subjz: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. [19:33] subjz: that's a very common error, and the very first recommended fix is to make sure guest additions are installed and 3D acceleration is enabled. [19:36] @nicomachus thanks man [19:38] Anyone here know a little about C++? [19:40] Cafe: Probably, but that might be a question better suited to ##programming or a c++ specific channel [19:41] Cafe: the folks in ##c++ do [19:41] Thanks for the tips [19:41] I joined the ##c++ channel, but couldn't type for some reason [19:41] does anyone know how well ubuntu 14 handles a 4k monitor? [19:41] I'll try out ##programming though, thanks!

[19:50] 14.04.03 LTS [19:51] nicomachus: thanks... hardware considerations aside, i was curious how well the UI scaling is across apps [19:58] Anyone know how to manually release DHCP leases from a dhcpd server? [20:00] foul_owl: reconnect to the network on networkmanager, erstart whole networking, .... [20:01] foul_owl: sudo dhclient -r [20:02] The client no longer exists, I'm talking about from the _server_ [20:03] ie, I've been creating and nuking vms all day, now my dhcp server is out of leases [20:03] Since ubuntu doesn't release the lease upon shutdown... [20:04] foul_owl: what server is that? a router? [20:05] foul_owl: /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases or if using dnsmasq to assign them, /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases [20:05] 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 [20:06] It's a dhcp server, that's all [20:06] Router is a separate device [20:07] Aha! [20:08] Hello. Using the guide at http://www.instructables.com/id/Host-Your-Own-Virtual-Private-Network-VPN-with-O/?ALLSTEPS I am having a problem installing OpenVpn . I get to step 5 and then I get the message cp: cannot stat ‘/usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/2.0/*’: No such file or directory [20:08] Ok so I find the relevant lease {} block, remove the block and then? [20:08] Do I restart dhcpd or is there a reload command? [20:09] you cannot flush them ? [20:09] Is flushing different from releasing? [20:12] no, i think basically not === e is now known as Guest8274 [20:18] hello guys [20:19] i want to setup an ubuntu arm board to be a router [20:19] it has only 1 eth0 port and several usb2 [20:20] i want to setup my usb wifi stick to be the one that clients connect to [20:24] sorry TJ- my battery died and I didn't have my laptop plugged in. I see a message (i'd have to grab it from the system log), but mostly I notice that from within the desktop it's not enabled. I have to manually start the process. [20:25] hi, i want to install the fglrx driver but it tells me fglrx-core depends on lib32gcc1, but this is on a 64 bit system, what is wrong here and how to fix ? [20:29] 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] 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. [20:30] umdx: Intel graphics should be configured with the correct driver by default, do you have issues with other video playing applications? [20:32] 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] know if that is the point of failure, but I figured I would try to isolate it as not being the problem if possible. [20:34] anyone here uses i3/?

I'm installing from a bootable flash drive made Ubuntu 15.04's Start-up disk creator [20:51] Please how ddo I fix this? [20:52] *do [20:52] Grimm_: "Boot error" is a report from the syslinux boot code, meaning it cannot find the rest of the boot-loader [20:52] Grimm_, can you type help ? [20:54] ioria: Please ioria, I don't understand what you mean [20:54] Grimm_: this is a known bug, due to being built by GCC v5 ( previous releases used GCC v4.9) [20:54] Grimm_, after Boot error , do you have a prompt ? [20:54] Grimm_: I committed the bug-fix yesterday but it'll be a while until it gets into the archives [20:55] Grimm_: bug 1507002 [20:55] bug 1507002 in syslinux (Ubuntu) ""boot error" due to gcc v5 transition" [Critical,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1507002 [20:56] After the Boot Error when I press any key it beeps and the error is written again [20:56] Grimm_, try help [20:56] ioria: it's no good; it won't do anything. the fix is not yet in the archives [20:57] TJ- i had a similar issue with start-up disk creator... i type help ann then enter and the system booted... [20:58] TJ- i admit... i don't know why [21:01] it can depend on the host CPU, the issue is the data structure alignment changed due to GCC 5 [21:01] !s limitless s01e09 [21:01] qu4nt1n: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:02] TJ- it was a pentium 4, ibm netvista [21:02] Grimm_: this is the duplicate bug that probably describes your issue: bug 1499746 [21:02] bug 1507002 in syslinux (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #1499746 "boot error" due to gcc v5 transition" [Critical,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1507002 [21:03] So how do I fix it [21:05] 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 [21:06] Grimm_: there's a version in my bug-fixes PPA if you want to test it https://launchpad.net/~tj/+archive/ubuntu/bugfixes [21:07] I am sooo new to Linux that I dought if I'll be able to build syslinux myself [21:08] But I'll check the link [21:08] thanks [21:08] !ppa | Grimm_: see my PPA then [21:08] Grimm_: see my PPA then: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

I'm having a problem with the touchpad of my laptop. It doesn't work but if I close the lid then reopen it, it starts working. How do I fix this? [21:26] asad_: that sounds like an ACPI issue [21:26] asad_: what make/model of PC? [21:26] TJ-: Dell 7348 [21:28] asad_: which Ubuntu release? That model is certified for 14.04 LTS: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201408-15442/ [21:28] TJ-: It's one of the certified laptops listed on ubuntu's website. Why, then, is this a problem? [21:29] where can i get detailed info on using kaffeine using a dvb card? the info i've found so far is seriously lacking [21:29] TJ-: What do I do? [21:31] my question regarding how to configure proxychains in virtualbox [21:31] hi === qwertyuiop is now known as Guest66166 [21:32] when i type this command sudo nano /etc/proxychains.conf [21:32] what happens, blade [21:32] im getting a blank screen, can someone help me [21:33] ok im only 11, but trying leafpad /etc/proxychains.conf should work [21:34] guest66166 leafpad in the terminal ? [21:34] yo blade did it work [21:34] Im running ubuntu 15.04 and i am having trouble getting Steam to run, it installed ok [21:34] blade: what do you expect? [21:34] blade: do you get the nano editor in terminal? what is the issue? [21:35] getting a blank screen [21:35] TJ-: ? [21:35] is not giving me anything to configure [21:35] blade: is there a proxychains.conf in /etc/ ? [21:36] i try that, and when i type enter is just a blank screen [21:37] maybe try checking in a graphical text editor if the file appears blank [21:37] blade: did you install it? what ubuntu is that exactly? [21:37] Is there a way I can post the terminal output when i run 'steam' in terminal? [21:37] 14.04 lts [21:38] yes i have installed it [21:38] asad_: I don't think you answered my question yet: which Ubuntu release is it? [21:39] hi everyone ! [21:40] i have a problem with my notebook (asus e202s) [21:40] 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] TJ-: Oh I'm sorry. It's ubuntu 14.04.03 LTS. [21:41] it freezes during the boot, line Starting WPA Supplicant, when it is not connected to power [21:41] 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] it works fine with ubuntu live usb [21:41] mentoc: Is this a BIOS or UEFI based machine? [21:42] Jordan_U: how do I tell? [21:42] It says BIOS [21:42] (scuse my horrible english, i'm french) [21:42] 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. [21:43] and the battery indicator is wrong [21:43] Yeah okay wtf, all of a sudden it works [21:44] PFM [21:44] lmao [21:44] it doesn't change the state when i plug/unplug the cable [21:44] * mentoc shoots himself [21:44] 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 === Guest92064 is now known as DanielL [21:45] 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] Could it run Steam OS? [21:45] officialdellacry: nvidia-current installed? [21:45] I'm not sure. [21:46] How do I tell/Do that/ [21:46] 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] I do not mind giving it a try. [21:46] I have nothing to lose on this HDD. [21:46] officialdellacry: lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use' [21:47] Terminal output: Kernel driver in use: nouveau [21:47] officialdellacry: there you go [21:47] How do I install nvidia-current? [21:47] officialdellacry: "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current" [21:47] okay, thank you. [21:47] okay, thank you. [21:48] would like to know if that works, can you test that right now? [21:48] I can try installing SteamOS to give you an answer. [21:48] I dont mind at all ^^; [21:48] i still remember that nvidia-current didn't solve the problem for me... [21:49] there is no need to install steam os. just install the prop. nvidia driver and steam will load [21:49] DanielL: how do you install steam on a laptop if it formats the disk? [21:49] Currently installing it. [21:49] oh steam os [21:49] if that works, fine :) [21:49] Itll be a bit [21:49] GG WIndstream. [21:50] akik: you can download steam os as an iso file. burn it to a disc or usb flash drive [21:50] 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] nobody knows this problem ? :( [21:51] akik: don't mix it up ---- steam -> package for ubuntu..... steam os -> operating system [21:51] it finished installing, attempting to launch steam now. [21:51] k [21:52] It hung again. [21:52] Terminal Output: Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [21:52] TJ-: There are a lot of "i2c_designware INT3433:00: controller timed out" [21:52] officialdellacry: need to at least logout and relogin (maybe restart) to load the drivers [21:52] TJ-: in /var/log/kern.log [21:52] Right, sorry. [21:52] Still new to this. [21:52] asad_: 'designware' ... seen that before, isn't that some kind of HID/mouse/game controller? [21:53] be right abck. [21:53] TJ-: I'm sorry but I don't know much about all this... [21:53] thecheshirecat_: was it a clean install? we have no information on the history of this system [21:55] @daftykins : yes, clean install, ubuntu wily [21:55] thecheshirecat_: considered trying again with 14.04.3 ? [21:56] no ! i tried with wily, xenial (alpha) and under fedora [21:56] well 14.04 is LTS, so it's a worthy choice [21:56] ok, so i will download an iso and try again [21:57] thank you =) i'll come back if it still doesn't work [21:59] thecheshirecat_: that sounds like the ACPI firmware interface isn't informing the OS of the event. === newbie is now known as Guest8601 [22:00] @TJ : i tried to add acpi=off and acpi_osi=Linux [22:00] in grub [22:01] but it hasn't changed the problem [22:01] solved* (scuse my poor english >>') [22:01] 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] 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 [22:02] thecheshirecat_: what's the highest Windows version reported with "sudo strings /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT | grep -i windows" ? [22:02] TJ-: So there is nothing I can do? [22:03] asad_: if the model is certified that suggests there is something unique that has changed on your particular PC, possibly the firmware version? [22:04] asad_: as I said earlier - the logs will be the place to discover clues if there are any to be found [22:04] @TJ : http://paste.ubuntu.com/13507301/ [22:05] looks like Microsoft Windows NT [22:05] TJ-: On http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201408-15442/, it says "hybrid suspend does not work on this system" [22:06] 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] TJ-: You've got to love "Windows 2017". [22:07] 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) [22:08] Jordan_U: why ? it's the result of TJ's command [22:08] since 2017 is the future ;) [22:09] thecheshirecat_: It's just funny that the firmware seems to be trying to guess what Windows will call itself in the future. [22:09] it's not. [22:09] ok >< [22:10] hard to recognize irony in english [22:11] thecheshirecat_: I'd suggest trying "acpi_osi=Windows 2016" [22:11] 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 [22:12] lmmx: okie dokie, just checking [22:12] Could anyone on Ubuntu 14 check for me please? e.g. Ctrl + Shift + U + 2022 will give a bullet point symbol [22:12] 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 [22:13] lmmx: Works fine on Xubuntu 14.04 here. [22:13] lmmx: works on Ubuntu 14.04 here as well [22:13] thanks Jordan_U tgm4883, grr.. I use this all the time, no note it was broken in Mint changelogs [22:14] that's Mint for you :) [22:14] 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] daftykins: lol [22:14] heyyyy haha [22:14] :D [22:14] lmmx: my result : sysop@1404mini:~$ ) . [22:15] adrian_1908: "mount" would probably show you /tmp is small though no? surely you have to define a size to use [22:15] thanks all, I'll take it back to mint :-) [22:15] adrian_1908: using tmpfs is a better bet for /tmp/ [22:16] TJ-: thank you very much : [22:16] These are my fstab settings: ramfs /tmp ramfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777,size=16G 0 0 [22:16] i'll try this solution and i come back later to say if the trouble is still here [22:16] TJ-: tmpfs won't use swap unless it's the very last resort, correct? [22:17] I have plenty of ram and don't want linux to be stupid about it. [22:17] adrian_1908: [22:17] 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] adrian_1908: According to "man mount" ramfs doesn't accept any options, it really looks like you meant that fstab entry for tmpfs. [22:18] TJ-: I see, I wasn't aware of that. [22:18] adrian_1908: just switch it to use tmpfs :) [22:18] Jordan_U: Ok, my mistake. I'll switch over to tmpfs then. [22:19] can anyone give me the value of `echo $GTK_IM_MODULE` on Ubuntu please? [22:19] (preferably Ubuntu 14) [22:20] should be ibus [22:20] mm [22:20] lmmx: "xim" for me. [22:20] hmm.. okay that's what I have.. [22:21] lmmx: xfce4: no return for " echo $GTK_IM_MODULE " . [22:21] Bashing-om: sounds like you have problems with your setup from those last 2 outputs [22:22] Bashing-om: or maybe it defaults to something else if blank, don't know [22:22] lmmx: Minimal install .. All works, I have no presently known peoblems . [22:26] hey is there a terminal command to save an open Gedit document befor closing? [22:27] jedininjarob: press ctrl+s [22:27] i know that but from terminal? [22:27] but i dont know a remote command to save an opened gedit session [22:28] jedininjarob man gedit does not show that option [22:28] jedininjarob: What is your end goal? [22:28] to control the open gedit file with terminal save then close [22:29] i geuss a macro/ script [22:29] jedininjarob: Yes, but why? What is your end goal? [22:29] jedininjarob why not edit the document in the terminal? [22:29] 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? [22:30] (Or are they the only ones that apply) [22:31] adrian_1908: They are in addition to. So noexec and relatime do apply to tmpfs. [22:31] Thanks! [22:31] adrian_1908: You're welcome. [22:31] jedininjarob short answer: no it's not possible [22:31] 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 [22:32] ahhh ok [22:32] it doesn't work [22:32] but i get some lines after WPA Supplicant : [22:32] jedininjarob edit the document with nano or so [22:32] jedininjarob: *WHY* do you want such a hotkey? [22:33] NMI watchdog : BUG:soft lockup [22:33] jedininjarob i guess you think there's only gedit to edit text documents [22:33] just a task i am trying to solve make things faster with out having to use mouse all day [22:33] CPU#0 stuck for 22s [22:34] jedininjarob in a terminal, type nano [your document] [22:34] it's a nightmare [22:35] 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] thecheshirecat: generally, the more recent the Windows version, the more functionality provided [22:35] hi [22:35] 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] 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] ok, i'll try 2015 [22:35] help me [22:36] jedininjarob: there's a tool called xdotool which you can use to simulate x11 events. maybe that could be used [22:37] hmmm ok [22:37] seems so simple [22:37] wounder whys it hard [22:37] ill look into the xdotool thanks akik [22:39] no differences with 2015 [22:39] 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] I tried doing so [22:39] It worked. Steam started, but every time it started the machine hung completely. [22:40] a big part of learning is trying out tools and what they can do [22:40] I had to hard reboot every time. [22:40] thecheshirecat: What is the output of "cat /proc/cmdline"? [22:40] hey [22:42] hello [22:43] 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?

[22:47] meisth0th, for a start, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers and maybe this channel can be a help #ubuntu-packaging [22:48] thecheshirecat: That looks correct. Not sure what to try next. [22:48] Hello, I am running Ubuntu 15.04 and trying to get Steam to start but the system hangs everytime i start it. [22:48] i'll stop here today [22:48] maybe i'll come back tomorrow to go on [22:49] Anyone seen networking failures related to dynamic names for ethernet interfaces when switching from headed to headless ubuntu 15.10 [22:49] 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] thank you very much, especially TJ- and Jordan_U [22:49] i am reading now [22:49] good bye everyone [22:49] 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? [22:50] No, Nothing works at all. [22:50] officialdellacry: What happens when you try to use sysrq magic to cleanly unount and reboot? [22:51] what is sysrq magic, what keys [22:51] 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] !reisub [22:51] In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [22:51] OerHeks I’m actually removing the video card [22:52] let me reinstall steam and nvidia-current and try again, and will report back [22:52] It was a fresh install directly of 15.10 === slowrich1rd is now known as slowrichard [22:52] Is sysrq functionality endabled by default in Ubuntu? [22:52] guys how can i check what port's are being listen ? [22:53] Will my ubuntu system break if I install the latest kernel? [22:53] The logs show it being called something different when i boot without video card [22:53] Extreminador: netstat -tuln [22:53] asad_: What do you mean by "latest"? Install from where? Are you using any proprietary drivers? [22:53] thanks EriC^^ [22:53] Extreminador: np [22:54] Jordan_U: I was going to follow this guide forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=131433 [22:56] asad_: Are you using Ubuntu or mint?

[23:01] 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? [23:02] These wild network naming changes should probably be pulled and better tested before integration [23:02] Raccoon1400: If your Windows installation isn't being detected and added automatically, there's probably something else wrong with it. [23:02] 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] Raccoon1400: menu.lst is old grub1. we have grub2 now [23:02] !bootinfo | Raccoon1400 [23:02] Raccoon1400: Boot info script is a useful script for diagnosing boot problems.

I want him to be able to boot between the new install on one drive, and the old install on the other drive until everything is transfered [23:04] just finish it and get it done? :) [23:04] I installed ubuntu on the new drive as a backup/recovery tool [23:04] interim solutions are a bit of a waste of effort [23:04] Raccoon1400: run my command. it will scan for installs [23:04] Raccoon1400: Plug in the Windows drive, run "sudo update-grub". [23:04] What's the current version of the kernel in 15.10? [23:04] asad_: 4.2.0 [23:05] k1l: exactly that? [23:05] yes [23:05] !info linux-image [23:05] Package linux-image does not exist in wily [23:05] !info linux-image-generic [23:05] linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 4.2.0.18.20 (wily), package size 2 kB, installed size 10 kB === boxznc is now known as boxmein [23:06] looks like the same as in Mint 17.2 Rafaela [23:06] OerHeks: depends on what mint version you are :) [23:07] and what updates mint thinks you should get and what not. [23:08] k1l: If I install 16.04 from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/, will it work? [23:09] 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] hello! [23:10] My problem is, Acpi Pcc Prob Failed [23:10] k1l: How do I upgrade my kernel ro 4.2.6? [23:10] Yes [23:10] asad_: if its just about the kernel see mainline kernels [23:10] the bot already gave you the info and link [23:11] 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. [23:12] Aff [23:12] Drive Nvidia report error [23:13] you have to give us errors if you want to know what to do with them [23:14] k1l: Do I have to first upgrade ubuntu to 15.10? [23:14] asad_: no [23:15] k1l: because there's 4.2.6-wily. so it doesn't matter? [23:18] k1l: can I install the kernel using apt-get ? [23:18] asad_: no [23:18] dpkg is the command [23:20] !mainline | asad_ [23:20] asad_: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [23:21] how do i create a live usb squashfs and overlayfs with only dash, X and GFX driver pkgs? [23:21] anyone have a script for this? [23:22] kosaq: what are you trying to achieve? [23:23] do i need anything else? like systemD or is it enough to get it booting? [23:23] i refer you to my above enquiry :) [23:24] daft: custom live usb start with minimum of pkgs [23:24] isnt there anyone capable of creating a working script for this job? [23:25] i doesn't see the point [23:25] er, i don't* [23:25] kosaq: that is more a question for ##linux then for #ubuntu, right? [23:26] kosaq: i really don't think ubuntu is the right distro for that [23:26] kosaq: sounds more like something you'd wanna use gentoo or arch for tbh [23:26] ubuntu ships a minimal iso for those who would like to start small. there even is a netboot iso. [23:27] i'd say it sounds more like something you shouldn't need to reinvent the wheel for [23:27] the thing is im not a linux expert so i need to have it easy [23:27] kosaq: then use the minimal iso. add what you need to it. [23:27] dafty so there can i find this kind of distro? [23:28] iwe searched the hole net, after live linux with only Xorg = NO answer [23:28] 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] *whole [23:29] 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. [23:30] * LambdaComplex stills says arch or gentoo [23:30] arch would be easier [23:30] * SlidingHorn votes arch here, too.... [23:31] just figure out the bare minimum packages you need [23:31] their documentation is pretty impeccable, too [23:31] 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] LambdaComplex: SlidingHorn you have seen the "i am not a linux expert"? [23:31] they have not (: [23:31] that I didn't.....lol, sorry [23:31] ^ [23:32] but this isn't exactly a beginner problem...so, oh well [23:32] lamba: because the damn distro is at least 1 000 pkgs [23:32] kosaq: which? [23:32] kosaq: fyi, you _might_ find this page http://live.debian.net/ helpful, if you want to create a debian-based livecd? ymmv. [23:33] Heck, Arch's base group isn't even that big [23:33] Only 50 packages [23:33] ok so no easy scripting to get it up and running ? [23:34] lamda: that the minum iso right? [23:35] (or remove) [23:35] oops, i was scrolled up. my bad [23:35] kosaq: no, Arch Linux's base group contains 50 packages [23:35] Although you don't _need_ all of them [23:35] kosaq: you do realise that having X without a window manager (at least) is fairly useless? [23:35] the other thing is the kernel modules, its way to many of them [23:36] Don't need nano or vi or sed or which or gawk or bash. [23:36] I wouldn't wanna uninstall them, but you don't _need_ them [23:36] kosaq: http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Barebones?redirect=no might bring you closer to what you need [23:37] kosaq: no the minimal iso can only install. === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [23:37] * zykotick9 notes vi is a posix command, so if your install doesn't have it - it's broken ;) [23:37] hell i tink Arch Linux is the thing, but now i know how debian/ubuntu works [23:37] zykotick9: But the system _will_ boot without it :P [23:37] LambdaComplex: yes, boot a "broken" system ;) [23:38] kll: damn why can i try it? sucks to install GRUB etc [23:38] kosaq: and have a look at busybox instead of the gnu utilities [23:38] pacman -S neovim && echo 'alias "vi"="nvim"' >> ~/.bashrc [23:38] zykotick9: Good enough? :P [23:38] 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... [23:41] yep it'd be great if all the non-ubuntu talk headed off to relevant channels :) [23:42] man, ubuntu is just a social construct [23:42] it's not even real, man [23:42] anyone knows if there is some way to give some specific texts in terminal specific colors? [23:42] frank1e: tput? [23:43] I am controlling my bitcoin wallets via terminal and it all looks boring and gives me anxiety lol [23:43] is it like, a shell script? [23:43] LambdaComplex what is tput please, am not that familiar with terminal in general and everything [23:43] LambdaComplex uh [23:43] it is to be exact: [23:43] bitcoindeamon [23:44] the same like the bitcoin gui client (aka bitcoin core - the qt gui) but just in terminal [23:44] hold on [23:44] https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-reference#wallet-rpcs [23:45] https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoind#Wallet_Services [23:45] 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 [23:46] are you asking about coloring specific parts of the output of a command? [23:46] is this tuturial is still right [23:46] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-and-configure-sftp-server-on-ubuntu-15-04-server.html [23:46] yes somehow [23:46] and also [23:46] coloring specific things in general like [23:47] frank1e, try to keep your responses to as few lines as possible. Makes things easier to keep track of [23:47] everything that stands in between a { and a }, where special custom colors like adresses/balances override these colors [23:47] sorry [23:47] 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 [23:48] which wouldn't be easy either [23:48] yes, custom script to format what is printed in my terminal [23:48] well, the script would have to run the command, look at its output, format it accordingly, and then print it [23:48] I remember having special color themes for php, css codes etc in text editors. thought something like this would be exist for ubuntu terminal [23:54] LambdaComplex, http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/solarized-must-have-color-paletter-for.html the screenshots I see there look perfect [23:55] does that work for ubuntu trusty with my case of terminal usage to color things up a little? [23:56] frank1e: Is everything in your terminal currently a single color? O.o [23:58] LambdaComplex, Yes, I use elementaryOS which is based on Ubuntu Trusty if that helps. [23:58] !elementary [23:58] 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] if you guys want to talk it, please go to their channel [23:58] we don't support it here [23:58] (the helpchat makes it impossible to get help there, nobody helping) [23:59] so I ask here, since this is basicly exactly the same as Ubuntu, just with a different optical style [23:59] frank1e: no, it's not [23:59] no. elementary has its' own problems, such as a lack of community [23:59] lol [23:59] daftykins: I think he's noticed that part already :P [23:59] tgm4883 well all terminal commands so far worked exactly as in ubuntu [23:59] * LambdaComplex rolls his eyes
