[00:00] <jophish__> daftykins: no dice with 352
[00:00] <Austin__Wall> http://termbin.com/08n9
[00:00] <LonelyDanbo> well thanks for all your help and information. I'll try out Steam and keep an eye out on my temperature readings.
[00:00] <jophish__> the only change was that ubuntu hung on the splash screen for several minutes
[00:01] <daftykins> jophish__: ok, boot into Windows and install the updated BIOS the Dell site offers, there's one version newer that's a good 7 months newer
[00:01] <daftykins> jophish__: but proceed carefully as a BIOS flash is not a thing to do on a whim :
[00:01] <daftykins> :)
[00:02] <daftykins> Austin__Wall: do you recall which method you used to try the nvidia proprietary driver?
[00:02] <jophish__> no problem, I've still got 10+ minutes before I need to go get the charging cable
[00:02] <jophish__> just kidding!
[00:02] <Austin__Wall> I went to the thirdparty drivers tab
[00:02] <daftykins> jophish__: lol you had me then :P
[00:02] <daftykins> Austin__Wall: cool, do you remember which you picked?
[00:03] <bumblefuzz> how do I set up natural scrolling for my mouse?
[00:03] <bumblefuzz> if it already works for my trackpad
[00:03] <Austin__Wall> daftykins: NVIDIA binary driver - version 340.96 from nvidia-340
[00:04] <daftykins> Austin__Wall: are you offered any a little older?
[00:04] <Austin__Wall> There the legacy 304
[00:05] <daftykins> Austin__Wall: is this a more workstation class laptop, or?
[00:05] <Austin__Wall> It's a thinkpad T510
[00:06] <jophish__> ok, rebooting, fingers crossed
[00:06] <zalgo_> finally got this to work properly
[00:06] <Austin__Wall> I use it primarially for programming and netflix/youtube but it'd be nice to run some games on it
[00:06] <daftykins> Austin__Wall: could you run "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | nc termbin.com 9999" ?
[00:07] <bumblefuzz> how do I set up natural scrolling for my mouse if it already works for my trackpad??
[00:07] <jophish__> blast! "low graphics mode" again
[00:07] <daftykins> jophish__: is it win10?
[00:07] <Austin__Wall> http://termbin.com/j0aj
[00:07] <jophish__> daftykins: yes
[00:07] <daftykins> jophish__: try Super+R -> "shutdown -s -t 1" in 10 prior to booting cold and into ubuntu
[00:08] <daftykins> Austin__Wall: and "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | nc termbin.com 9999" please
[00:09] <EriC^^> bumblefuzz: it's not in settings > touchpad?
[00:09] <Austin__Wall> http://termbin.com/k8sw
[00:10] <daftykins> Austin__Wall: ok; when the last nvidia attempt failed, did you have a method you can easily repeat today (now) if it were to fail again?
[00:10] <daftykins> just in case my idea does not work
[00:10] <jophish__> daftykins: no change after that I'm afraid
[00:10] <bumblefuzz> EriC^^, I already selected that
[00:10] <bumblefuzz> it works for the trackpad
[00:10] <Austin__Wall> Hmm... I just did purged nvidia-* and reinstalled the xorg thing
[00:10] <bumblefuzz> but it doesn't work for my mouse
[00:10] <EriC^^> bumblefuzz: try xinput | nc termbin.com 9999
[00:12] <daftykins> Austin__Wall: ok - you only need to purge nvidia* - nothing else; right now the existence of /etc/X11/xorg.conf would have ruined having the nvidia driver on, so if you run "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old" then go back to installing that nvidia 340.96 driver and reboot, you might have a better result
[00:12] <Austin__Wall> I followed the instructions here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/206283/how-can-i-uninstall-a-nvidia-driver-completely
[00:12] <Austin__Wall> Ok I'll try that
[00:13] <bumblefuzz> EriC^^, type that into terminal?
[00:13] <EriC^^> yes
[00:13] <Ender_Wiggin> hey friends. total noob here. need a little help with networking stuff
[00:13] <bumblefuzz> http://termbin.com/26vy
[00:14] <Ender_Wiggin> do i need to assign a local static IP if im using a dyndns service like no-ip to host a TS3 server on my ubuntu box?
[00:14] <daftykins> Ender_Wiggin: yes, so it doesn't move ruining your port forwards
[00:14] <Ender_Wiggin> mmk
[00:14] <EriC^^> bumblefuzz: type xinput list-props 11
[00:14] <Ender_Wiggin> im having a little trouble setting up the local static IP
[00:14] <Austin__Wall> Ok, rebooting now, I'll let you know how it goes
[00:15] <EriC^^> bumblefuzz: type xinput list-props 11 | nc termbin.com 9999
[00:15] <daftykins> Ender_Wiggin: 1) edit your router's DHCP scope so there's some 'room' at the end (a network typically addresses from 192.168.0.2 -> 254, where .1 is the router - you bring that scope back to say 250 then you can use 251-254 for your server.
[00:15] <daftykins> Ender_Wiggin: alright, what've you got installed on there?
[00:15] <Ender_Wiggin> I need to change the settings for eth0? I'm using a hardwired connection to my router
[00:15] <Ender_Wiggin> ATM Im just using default settings
[00:15] <daftykins> ubuntu desktop or server?
[00:16] <Ender_Wiggin> desktop, running LXDE
[00:16] <Ender_Wiggin> from ubuntu distro
[00:16] <daftykins> ok, so you've probably seen mention of editing /etc/network/interfaces right?
[00:16] <Ender_Wiggin> yeah
[00:16] <bumblefuzz> http://termbin.com/coob
[00:16] <Ender_Wiggin> got in the directory, didnt know how to edit it
[00:16] <daftykins> double check your interface is called eth0 for sure by typing "ip a" and looking for the name that isn't "lo"
[00:17] <daftykins> Ender_Wiggin: a nice simple text editor is 'nano'; "sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces"
[00:17] <bumblefuzz> also, is there a way to swap my control and command keys?
[00:17] <Ender_Wiggin> yeah says 2: eth0
[00:17] <Ender_Wiggin> copy
[00:18] <EriC^^> bumblefuzz: what do you mean by control and command keys?
[00:18] <Ender_Wiggin> k im at the nano editor for that
[00:18] <Austin_Wall> It hung at starting light display manager
[00:18] <daftykins> Ender_Wiggin: so where you have "iface eth0 inet dhcp" change 'dhcp' to 'static' then after that line you need "address 192.168.0.254" for example, then next line "netmask 255.255.255.0" then "gateway 192.168.0.1" (example if that's your router IP)
[00:19] <Ender_Wiggin> daftykins: http://pastebin.com/QSK9aQJL
[00:19] <Ender_Wiggin> thats what i have ATM
[00:20] <bumblefuzz> EriC^^, I mean press command to tell the system ctrl and press ctrl to press command
[00:20] <daftykins> Ender_Wiggin: ok enter twice after 'loopback' then  "auto eth0" next line "iface eth0 inet static" then as above
[00:20] <bumblefuzz> so if I want to copy, I press command + c
[00:21] <bumblefuzz> instead of ctrl + c
[00:21] <daftykins> bumblefuzz: heh i know the exact opposite pain when forced to use macs ;)
[00:22] <bumblefuzz> lol
[00:22] <bumblefuzz> I'm just beginning on ubuntu
[00:22] <bumblefuzz> so, I want to make it as mac like as possible
[00:22] <Ender_Wiggin> daftykins so i should input that command in the nano editor?
[00:22] <Ender_Wiggin> ddint have anything about DHCP in it
[00:22] <daftykins> Ender_Wiggin: you're in a simple text editor right now, hang on let me just edit your pastebin as an example
[00:22] <Ender_Wiggin> ty
[00:22] <daftykins> Ender_Wiggin: you know what your network uses for IPs already, i take it?
[00:23] <Ender_Wiggin> i think so
[00:23] <Ender_Wiggin> meaning DHCP or whatever?
[00:23] <Ender_Wiggin> sorry haha
[00:23] <daftykins> yeah the IP you receive from your router as its' DHCP allocation - and the IP of your router itself
[00:23] <Ender_Wiggin> yeah i know that
[00:23] <daftykins> "ip route" would say "default via <router IP>"
[00:24] <daftykins> Ender_Wiggin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13535856/ you'll need to change those IPs depending on what yours are
[00:25] <jophish__> daftykins: I'm going to try installing the driver from nvidia's site
[00:25] <EriC^^> bumblefuzz: sure, open a terminal and type xev
[00:26] <daftykins> jophish__: guaranteed bad idea :)
[00:26] <Ender_Wiggin> ok thanks
[00:26] <jophish__> It's looking as though I'm going to be reinstalling anyway :/
[00:26] <skweek> arg! I want to uninstall python3 but it prompts me to remove like 300mg of files
[00:26] <Austin_Wall> daftykins: It hung at starting light display manager, do you need any logs?
[00:26] <Techman> Hi
[00:26] <daftykins> Austin_Wall: what's on screen instead?
[00:27] <daftykins> Ender_Wiggin: once you've done the above, there'll be more to do... but change the router DHCP range as mentioned, then reboot this system to get the new IP set
[00:28] <Austin_Wall> It was a list of stuff with a bunch of [OK]s and at the bottom it said starting light display manager and didn't do anything else
[00:28] <Techman> Is there a way to get in contact with the folks who run the Ubuntu Pastebin?
[00:28] <whallz> hi, how can i disable ubuntu key mappings for the alt key? i need to map some for vim and ubuntu is capturing those
[00:28] <freakyy> how can i install ubuntu gnome on an ubuntu installation?
[00:28] <bumblefuzz> xev?
[00:28] <Austin_Wall> Let it sit a while and then uninstalled nvidia-*
[00:28] <EriC^^> whallz: you mean the hud?
[00:28] <bumblefuzz> EriC^^, just xev?
[00:28] <EriC^^> bumblefuzz: yeah
[00:29] <whallz> EriC^^: yup
[00:29] <freakyy> nm found it already thanks
[00:29] <EriC^^> whallz: settings > keyboard > shortcuts
[00:29] <daftykins> Austin_Wall: ah right, mmm ok ; so nvidia purge method then you could try the 304 instead
[00:29] <Techman> Eh, I'll contact their webmaster department
[00:29] <Techman> Hopefully that works out
[00:30] <whallz> EriC^^: i changed those
[00:30] <bumblefuzz> ok, what is this?
[00:30] <freakyy> can i select which session to run in lightdm?
[00:30] <freakyy> if i install ubuntu-gnome-desktop package(s)
[00:30] <whallz> EriC^^: i need to find a way to see if xterm is actually sending the signal or what
[00:30] <jophish__> daftykins: well, nvidia's driver didn't make things any worse!
[00:30] <daftykins> ;)
[00:30] <daftykins> jophish__: if i were you i would try 14.04.3
[00:31] <jophish__> daftykins: 15.04 worked well for me too
[00:31] <jophish__> and until today 15.10 was fine :)
[00:31] <daftykins> oh i thought it was a new install... perhaps that older kernel was fine
[00:32] <Ender_Wiggin> daftykins: sooo haha noob question again, how do i get the hostname i setup on no-ip to talk to my server? I setup the port forwarding for TS3 in my router
[00:32] <daftykins> Ender_Wiggin: most routers have DynDNS config pages for you to enter your no-ip details, that's the #1 easiest
[00:32] <Ender_Wiggin> ok thanks
[00:34] <Ender_Wiggin> daftykins looks like my router just has a dropdown box for just DnyDNS.org
[00:34] <Ender_Wiggin> assuming thats different from no-ip
[00:34] <daftykins> ah, mine had a few providers on such a dropdown... what make + model router is it?
[00:34] <daftykins> yeah it is unfortunately
[00:34] <Ender_Wiggin> Netgear WNDR4000
[00:34] <daftykins> hmm surprised if they don't support it, lets see
[00:35] <miroesq_> I am trying to configure my wifi through the cli. Entering "iwlist wlan0 scan" tells me that this interface does not support scanning.
[00:35] <MWM> I was looking for a lightweight desktop and tried lxde.  It seems buggy, is that normal?  Also it wont run a terminal, is that normal behavior as well?
[00:35] <EriC^^> bumblefuzz: ok, press the command key and get the key code
[00:35] <daftykins> Ender_Wiggin: sure it's on its' own? quick hunt shows - http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/23930/~/how-to-setup-dynamic-dns-on-a-netgear-router-using-www.no-ip.com
[00:36] <jophish__> daftykins: would you recommend a clean reinstall, or some kind of funky downgrading?
[00:36] <EriC^^> bumblefuzz: like if i hold my ctrl key, it says keycode 37, and Control_L next to it
[00:36] <Ender_Wiggin> hmm maybe i need to update the firmware
[00:36] <daftykins> jophish__: clean, downgrade is not possible
[00:36] <daftykins> Ender_Wiggin: not usually, is this one perhaps supplied by an ISP?
[00:36] <jophish__> ok, I'd like to keep /home and /var/lib/libvirt
[00:36] <Ender_Wiggin> naw one i bought on my own
[00:37] <bumblefuzz> I don't know how to tell
[00:37] <daftykins> Ender_Wiggin: ok, you're definitely on the advanced pages there? i know they like to segment and hide a lot of features these days; maybe different browsers show different things too
[00:37] <bumblefuzz> there's a ton of text in the terminal
[00:38] <EriC^^> bumblefuzz: hold the command key, and see what it says
[00:38] <daftykins> miroesq_: sure that's the interface name? try "ifconfig -a" to identify interfaces
[00:38] <Ender_Wiggin> yeah went advanced>advanced setup> Dynamic DNS
[00:38] <bumblefuzz> I found it
[00:38] <bumblefuzz> ok, now what
[00:38] <miroesq_> daftykins: thx
[00:38] <bumblefuzz> ?
[00:39] <EriC^^> bumblefuzz: what's the keycode and name for command and ctrl?
[00:39] <jophish__> daftykins: just to be sure, you don't think purging every package to do with x on the system and reinstalling ubuntu-desktop would work?
[00:39] <bumblefuzz> 133 and 37
[00:39] <bumblefuzz> I didn't catch the name
[00:39] <MWM> instead of purging ubuntu-dektop "build-essentials" might be quicker
[00:39] <EriC^^> bumblefuzz: ok, get the name
[00:39] <daftykins> jophish__: i wouldn't take that approach myself, the most work i would go to is to reinstall that last kernel, purge nvidia* again and try nvidia-352 and nvidia-prime back on and booting that old kernel; then i'd call it a day
[00:40] <daftykins> MWM: those two things have absolutely 0 to do with each other.
[00:40] <miroesq_> daftykins: yes, it's wlan1 because I am trying a second wifi dongle. the first one, which was wlan0 gave me that error, so that's why I tried a second dongle.
[00:41] <daftykins> miroesq_: cool, any better luck on wlan1? or are you trying to fix wlan0? :D
[00:41] <miroesq_> daftykins: same issue with wlan1 as with wlan0. If I fix one, I can fix the other. trying to even connect to a wifi without the scan does not work
[00:42] <bumblefuzz> Super_L and Control_L
[00:42] <bumblefuzz> now what?
[00:42] <EriC^^> bumblefuzz: ok, type xmodmap -e "keycode 133=Control_L"
[00:43] <daftykins> miroesq_: tried nm-cli ? what chipset do they both use? ("lsusb" for USB and "lspci" for PCI cards)
[00:43] <EriC^^> that'll make the super as ctrl
[00:43] <MWM> I just installed lxde and Ive lost Terminal and it seems to stumble over opening programs , is this normal for lxde ?
[00:43] <miroesq_> daftykins: the current one is [Realtek RTL8188CUS]
[00:44] <bumblefuzz> EriC^^, I did that and made 37=Super_L
[00:45] <bumblefuzz> but the keys aren't doing what they're supposed to
[00:45] <daftykins> miroesq_: full desktop ubuntu installed? which version?
[00:45] <EriC^^> bumblefuzz: hmm
[00:45] <Austin_Wall> daftykins: Still not working, took picture http://imgur.com/JGLUTqV
[00:45] <miroesq_> daftykins: ubuntu server 14.04. i am using an armv7 machine. odroid xu4
[00:45] <MWM> I can confirm trouble with the RTL8111* chipset.  there is dowcumentation if you search.
[00:46] <EriC^^> bumblefuzz: type xmodmap -pke | nc termbin.com 9999
[00:46] <Austin_Wall> Also got a couple error report popups when I rebooted
[00:46] <daftykins> miroesq_: oh. sorry can't help there then, i have no idea of the status of ARM drivers for these wireless devices.
[00:46] <Austin_Wall> They didn't say what was wrong though
[00:46] <miroesq_> daftykins: thanks
[00:47] <bumblefuzz> http://termbin.com/nvwb
[00:47] <daftykins> Austin_Wall: mmm, ok that's odd - sounds like that one will require more digging :(
[00:48] <EriC^^> bumblefuzz: try xmodmap -e "keycode 206=Control_L"
[00:49] <bumblefuzz> EriC^^, still no
[00:49] <Ender_Wiggin> daftykins looks like No-IP has an open source firmware that works for my router, no sure if it'll cause issues though
[00:49] <Ender_Wiggin> http://www.noip.com/blog/2009/07/09/adding-no-ip-ddns-support-to-your-router/
[00:49] <bumblefuzz> is there a way to put all this back?
[00:49] <bumblefuzz> since it isn't changing anything?
[00:51] <Austin_Wall> daftykins: are there any logs you need to see?
[00:52] <daftykins> Austin_Wall: i think any important ones would not have been created on the failed boot - then will have been replaced on the successful boot after, unfortunately
[00:52] <EriC^^> bumblefuzz: it'll reset when you reboot, you can change it if you want right now though
[00:52] <daftykins> Ender_Wiggin: found that page yeah, DD-WRT is an open source thing, not no-ip's work, i wouldn't recommend being that drastic - was there a newer netgear version available?
[00:53] <Ender_Wiggin> Naw
[00:53] <bumblefuzz> I see
[00:53] <Ender_Wiggin> only option seems to be to create a free DynDNS and cancel it, i read they allow you to keep 1 domain for free
[00:54] <bumblefuzz> so we have to figure out what code to use to get the swap to work before making it permanent
[00:54] <bumblefuzz> ?
[00:54] <Ender_Wiggin> that or just update my server's external IP whenever my ISP changes it
[00:54] <Ender_Wiggin> not sure how often that is though
[00:54] <EriC^^> bumblefuzz: well, yeah if it works you can add that line so it runs automatically when you login
[00:54] <EriC^^> bumblefuzz: dunno why it's not working though, there's also xbindkeys which might work
[00:54] <daftykins> Ender_Wiggin: is this ubuntu system the only one you have, or?
[00:55] <Ender_Wiggin> naw I have Win10 and OSX
[00:55] <Ender_Wiggin> ive got it set up locally just needed to allow access from outside
[00:55] <cobracommand> as soon as you edit a cron in ubuntu, is it automatically enabled?
[00:55] <daftykins> Ender_Wiggin: you could just run no-ip's Windows updater then, if those others are on regularly enough to update the IP
[00:56] <daftykins> i wouldn't recommend modifying the router just for this minor use :>
[00:56] <Ender_Wiggin> no-ips updater what exactly is that?
[00:56] <Ender_Wiggin> haha true
[00:56] <Ender_Wiggin> ahh the DUC thingy?
[00:56] <daftykins> a little Windows program you type your user+pass into, which runs on boot and updates the IP whenever you boot.
[00:56] <daftykins> yep
[00:57] <Ender_Wiggin> is there any major issues with the ubuntu version? found it on their site
[00:57] <Ender_Wiggin> http://www.noip.com/support/knowledgebase/installing-the-linux-dynamic-update-client-on-ubuntu/
[00:57] <Ender_Wiggin> id like to run it on my ubuntu because i leave it on 24/7
[00:58] <jakehapp> hello
[00:58] <daftykins> thing is, you're likely going to be on one of the other PCs to be using teamspeak aren't you, since you'll be gaming or whatever...
[00:59] <daftykins> you can follow that if you like, it's just harder :>
[00:59] <Ender_Wiggin> true
[00:59] <Ender_Wiggin> haha
[00:59] <Ender_Wiggin> its just i regularly turn off my Win10 boxx
[00:59] <Ender_Wiggin> uses a LOT more power
[00:59] <daftykins> *nod*
[00:59] <daftykins> you'll need to run "sudo apt-get install build-essential" prior to following their guide
[00:59] <Ender_Wiggin> my ubuntu box is a very small 2core AMD like 300W PSU
[01:00] <Ender_Wiggin> oh boy haha
[01:00] <SchrodingersScat> !info inadyn | Ender_Wiggin
[01:00] <MWM> Im running a dual core box with small pus  and not much ram too!  YAY!
[01:00] <jakehapp> asdf
[01:00] <Ender_Wiggin> daftykins will that be affected by me using LXDE?
[01:01] <daftykins> Ender_Wiggin: their guide? nope
[01:01] <Ender_Wiggin> i mean the build-essential thingy
[01:01] <Ender_Wiggin> =3
[01:01] <daftykins> nope
[01:01] <Ender_Wiggin> guessing thats just an update or?
[01:02] <MWM> to my understanding "build-essential" updates/installs only the things "essential" to the OS
[01:02] <daftykins> it installs packages for compiling source code into a program, which is what their guide involves
[01:02] <daftykins> MWM: 100% wrong
[01:02] <Ender_Wiggin> ah ok ty
[01:03] <bumblefuzz> any ideas on reversing the scrolling for my mouse?
[01:03] <MWM> well if youre going t be wrong then might as well go for 100%
[01:03] <daftykins> MWM: :D
[01:04] <MWM> Ive been reading about how to get the lightest experience from ubuntu , and most guides will say to install ____-core or _____-build essintial to minimize the packages
[01:05] <daftykins> !info build-essential
[01:05] <MWM> !info build essential
[01:05] <EriC^^> bumblefuzz: which ubuntu are you using? 14.04?
[01:05] <daftykins> no you don't need to repeat bot trigger commands :)
[01:05] <MWM> !info build-essential
[01:06] <daftykins> MWM: please stop that now, you can see the same result has come up 3 times
[01:06] <dnscryptuser> Hey, is there anyone here that uses dnscrypt-proxy from ppa:xuzhen666/dnscrypt or any other? I think I found a bug, but I need someone to test something for me
[01:07] <daftykins> dnscryptuser: contact the PPA maintainer then, not an ubuntu problem
[01:07] <MWM> Im sorry I thought I only did it twice and the first had a missing hyphen
[01:08] <dnscryptuser> daftykins: I'm not saying it is a ubuntu problem, I just want someone to test before I contact him. Maybe is something on my end
[01:08] <MWM> Im missing terminal in LXDE and cant seem to find how to restore it in a search
[01:08] <SchrodingersScat> !support | dnscryptuser this is ubuntu support in #ubuntu
[01:08] <daftykins> dnscryptuser: i know, but it's what they do... :)
[01:09] <sgen> Does anyone have any suggestions for good ubuntu compatible portable printers?
[01:09] <bumblefuzz> EriC^^, 14.04.03
[01:11] <dnscryptuser> daftykins: Well, thanks then, I guess. I will try to contact him
[01:11] <MWM> nm.  in lxde its called lxterminal instead of just terminal :)
[01:11] <daftykins> ;)
[01:12] <EriC^^> bumblefuzz: i've no idea, sorry
[01:13] <jakehapp> leave
[01:13] <bumblefuzz> lol, np
[01:18] <cobracommand> how do I make a cron.allow in /etc/ to enable my crontab?
[01:21] <machoo> hi guys, how to swap the keys "Mod1" with "Mod5"?
[01:23] <jophish__> daftykins: I got it working!!!
[01:23] <jophish__> nomodeset as a kernel arg did the trick
[01:23] <jophish__> and reinstalling the drivers a hundred times
[01:24] <daftykins> that's not going to load the nvidia driver 0o
[01:24] <bumblefuzz> so, how do I set up a list of commands to run at boot?
[01:24] <jophish__> daftykins: ah, I can't get past the login screen
[01:24] <jophish__> :(
[01:25] <daftykins> *nod*
[01:25] <daftykins> your /var/log/Xorg.0.log would likely confirm FBSET or VESA in use still
[01:27] <jophish__> daftykins: you're quite right. I got overly excited when I heard the little ubuntu jingle
[01:29] <daftykins> :(
[01:31] <meem> How do i convert binary with decimal point to decimal ? like this  one 101001.111
[01:33] <jophish__> although I've removed every nvidia package dpkg -l | grep nvidia is empty Xorg.0.log is still littered with nvidia references
[01:34] <miroesq_> i am unable to use mkdir to make a directory within /home. i am logged as root
[01:35] <meem_> How do i convert binary with decimal point to decimal ? like this  one 101001.111 ?
[01:35] <egggs> hi just installed debian  jessie all was good,  but i lost sound  it plays in the app just dont make it to speaker or  headphones
[01:40] <jophish__> thanks for all your help daftykins, I appreciate it
[01:40] <jophish__> time for sleep now though I think
[01:40] <Krenair> gnome-system-monitor's CPU history graph shows very high CPU usage, but the processes table does not account for all of it
[01:41] <daftykins> jophish__: np, laters o/
[01:41] <daftykins> egggs: not a debian channel :)
[01:41] <daftykins> meem_: not a homework channel i'm afraid
[01:42] <egggs> oh man thats embarrassing  thanks
[01:44] <Bashing-om> jophish__: A thought .. remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf , if you no longer have an Nvidia driover active .
[01:46] <Krenair> How can I figure out what is using the CPU?
[01:47] <Bashing-om> Krenair: 1st look is from the terminal command 'top' .
[01:55] <meem_> daftykins ; oh come on
[01:55] <qubits> Hey guys
[01:55] <daftykins> meem_: i'm serious.
[01:55] <qubits> How's the support leve in here
[01:56] <meem_> daftykins ; me too
[01:56] <daftykins> !ot | meem_ :)
[01:58] <jophish__> Bashing-om: yeah, tried that, no luck
[01:59] <jophish__> daftykins: I tried installing 4.2.0-16 but that's even worse. I always get to the login screen, but can't get past. I can't get a tty either though
[01:59] <daftykins> heh, that's not sleep at all
[01:59] <jophish__> My dog wanted to go outside one last time, so I had some time
[02:00] <qubits> I reinstalled ubuntu with encrypted lvm and something strange happened to my raid 0 array, it was supposed to go on a separate drive
[02:00] <qubits> Now one of my drives is removed from the array as failed
[02:01] <qubits> I have dm-0 and dm-1  now and they should've been the same thing, I am trying to see what drive they mapped to but it says 253,1? I don't see that in ls -Al /dev/
[02:01] <Sonderblade> can "apt-get remove" be customized so that it automatically removes packages' /etc configurations?
[02:01] <qubits> dmsetup is reporting that / is on the proper drive so what happened to my raid
[02:02] <daftykins> Sonderblade: just use purge instead, that's what it's for.
[02:03] <qubits> I guess in a nutshell what I'm asking is how do I non destructively rebuild the raid 0
[02:04] <qubits> The bios read failed because one of the drives reports non member
[02:04] <daftykins> is this intel chipset RAID or mdadm?
[02:04] <qubits> mdadm i believe
[02:04] <daftykins> if so, anything BIOS level wouldn't know about a disk being a member or not
[02:04] <daftykins> !raid
[02:05] <daftykins> if the OS is installed to them, i'd poke around from a live session of desktop
[02:06] <qubits> no its storage
[02:06] <daftykins> probably easier from live anyway
[02:09] <meem> #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:10] <qubits> md126 : inactive sdc[0]

[02:13] <qubits> Can I force start it or do I need to do something in the bios
[02:16] <tinyoptik> hows ubuntu going
[02:18] <tinyoptik> how much are 32" monitors cost
[02:18] <tinyoptik> i gotta look that up on google or pricewatch or something
[02:20] <Mr_Cyclops> Hello All, do we have an expert Ubuntu user  here? I am struggling with something and need help
[02:21] <SchrodingersScat> !ask | Mr_Cyclops
[02:21] <Mr_Cyclops> :-) thanks
[02:22] <Mr_Cyclops> Ubuntu 15.10 ... if I delete a file from any file manager (except Dolphin), and that directory is a softlink, the file manager crashes
[02:22] <Mr_Cyclops> Upgraded the whole system, up to date, but no change ...
[02:22] <Mr_Cyclops> and I dont get this error at all if that directory is not a soft=linked directory
[02:22] <Mr_Cyclops> any clues?
[02:24] <SchrodingersScat> !bugs | Mr_Cyclops, I don't have any clues.
[02:25] <Mr_Cyclops> Thank you, will definitely try that
[02:25] <Mr_Cyclops> another issue .... Citrix (which I suppose a known thing ) ... here are the details
[02:25] <SchrodingersScat> thunar just now didn't crash while deleting symlinked directory
[02:25] <Mr_Cyclops> Right now I am running Xubuntu 15.04 64 bit, and installed the icaclient from the Citrix's official website
[02:26] <Mr_Cyclops> but when I click on the link that should fork/open the .ica file, it doesn't work at all
[02:26] <Mr_Cyclops> followed many blogs n tried various things, no joy. If you could suggest a blog/URL that would help best to resolve this, thanks
[02:26] <Mr_Cyclops> thunar, you tried in 15.10 ?
[02:27] <Mr_Cyclops> Last time I tried all file managers was like 2 weeks ago, if this was fixed ... good for me, I will try again in a VM
[02:28] <Mr_Cyclops> SchrodingersScat, try not to delete the symlinked directory, but some file inside the symlinked directory, see if it crashes, tx
[02:28] <SchrodingersScat> Mr_Cyclops: yep, xubuntu 15.10, I've never had that problem, it also doesn't come up for me that much.
[02:29] <SchrodingersScat> Mr_Cyclops: did a touch 1 2 3 in the symlinked directory, then deleted it in thunar, nothing unexpected happened.
[02:30] <Mr_Cyclops> sounds great! I will try again today, tx for trying it out for me
[02:30] <Mr_Cyclops> Any suggestions on an effective URL for Citrix/.
[02:30] <Mr_Cyclops> ?
[02:32] <rritoch> Where can I find the window manager scripts that are executed when a user logs in? (plasma, gnome, xfce, etc)
[02:32] <Mr_Cyclops> rritoch, I think you can to Control Center, or Settings Manager, look for Startup applications, and add it manually
[02:33] <Mr_Cyclops> Typically it gives u a dialoge box with 3 text boxes, to choose a Name, Description and command (Suggest to simply the absolute/full path of the command/binary/script) tat you want to run at login
[02:36] <Demannu> Quick question: Thinking about using a local box I have here to bring internet in through wireless and then have a DHCP and DNS server share the wireless connection to a different subnet through ethernet. I believe this is plausible yes?
[02:37] <rritoch> Mr_Cyclops: Thanks, but the specific problem is that if I launch "Plasma" manually it works, but if I login to it from sddm the X server goes black during initialization
[02:38] <rritoch> Mr_Cyclops: XFCE login from sddm works, so I believe the problem is with the plasma "start" script executed by SDDM. I just don't know where to find it.
[02:39] <Mr_Cyclops> rritoch, Ok, I am not a KDE user, can't help much with that, hopefully someone else in this forum might, wait and see if someone replies, tx
[02:42] <rritoch> Found it, finally. /usr/share/xsessions
[02:43] <Mr_Cyclops> tx for sharing
[02:47] <rritoch> Demannu: Yes that is possible. You just need to configure the DHCP server to serve the lan. Typically you would need a DHCP client setup on the wireless device unless you use a static IP outside the wireless DHCP allocated IP range and know the IP address of the wireless router.
[02:48] <rritoch> Demannu: Beyond that, you probably need to setup your firewall to NAT traffic from the local network to the wireless.
[02:49] <NYTimes> hey how can I know if my OS is i686 or x86_64 and what does that even mean ? kinda confused here ;@)
[02:50] <rritoch> NYTimes: i686 = 32bit, x86_64 = 64 bit. , if you type 'uname -a' in a shell it should tell you which your setup for.
[02:50] <mastershake> hey guys im having a tiny issue over here and was wondering if anyone could help..
[02:51] <Mr_Cyclops> go ahead mastershake
[02:51] <Demannu> rritoch: I'm looking for this box to travel with me and act as a project bench/network services provider while in the field, so it's assumed DHCP on the wireless network. Want to make a secure subnet for the workbench/dev environment
[02:51] <mastershake> i have an important .rar im trying to open that i created on Win8.1 and locked it with a password, but im having trouble opening it now.
[02:51] <mastershake> its just empty when i open it up
[02:51] <Pinkamena_D> I have a secondary windows partition. on /dev/sda1 (ubuntu on /dev/sda2) I wanted more room so I got a second hard drive for windows. I used clonezilla to copy over /dev/sda1 to /dev/sdb1. I want to get it working before deleting the old partition.
[02:51] <Mr_Cyclops> NYTimes, the command is uname -i
[02:51] <Mr_Cyclops> or better just type uname -a
[02:51] <reisio> Pinkamena_D: be simpler to migrate Ubuntu
[02:52] <reisio> far simpler
[02:52] <NYTimes> rritoch: thank you what a command so usefull thx
[02:52] <rritoch> Demannu: In that case you setup your wireless connection with DHCP, setup a DHCP server on the lan, and setup your firewall to NAT between LAN and Wireless (internet).
[02:52] <Pinkamena_D> Grubcfg makes an entry tor /dev/sdb1 automatically, but for some reason when you select it it actually boots to /dev/sda1
[02:53] <NYTimes> Mr_Cyclops: it returns "unknown"
[02:53] <reisio> Pinkamena_D: you cloned it, so Windows thinks it's on the first device
[02:53] <reisio> Pinkamena_D: try switching the drive order
[02:53] <Pinkamena_D> I want the bigger (sda) drive for ubuntu.
[02:53] <reisio> Pinkamena_D: try switching the drive order
[02:53] <mastershake> any ideas ?
[02:53] <rritoch> Demannu: I beleive there are some "complexities" to setting up NAT to a dynamic IP since firewall rules are by IP address though. It is likely you'll need to code some of your own scripts, or find one online that's pre-built for that purpose.
[02:53] <Pinkamena_D> in grub, or bios, or somewhere else?
[02:54] <reisio> Pinkamena_D: bios if you can there
[02:54] <reisio> Pinkamena_D: otherwise simply switch the cables
[02:54] <reisio> mastershake: about what
[02:55] <rritoch> NYTimes: At least that is how things were with ipchains some 15 years ago... My linux/unix knowledge is a bit dusty.
[02:55] <rritoch> err ^^ Demannu
[02:55] <mastershake> reisio, my password protected .rar i created on win8.1 is empty when i goto open it on xubuntu and doesnt prompt for pw
[02:55] <Pinkamena_D> ill try it and come and complain if it fails. If the world ends before I am done trying, thanks for the tip.
[02:55] <reisio> mastershake: what does 'file' say it is?
[02:55] <mchelen> i keep getting "The following packages cannot be authenticated!" even after running `apt-get update` and `apt-key update` any ideas?
[02:55] <reisio> Pinkamena_D: :)
[02:56] <mastershake> RAR data archive, v6c
[02:56] <EriC^^> mchelen: change the mirror maybe
[02:56] <Demannu> rritoch: I'm just installing Ubuntu server now on the box, I'll experiment with that and see what I can come up with. I know for a fact that a lot of my worksites use wildly different subnet setups, so I may need to automate it somehow.
[02:57] <Demannu> I mean, it's not terribly hard once I think about it. Simply grab the current IP and replace in a template then update NAT rules that way
[02:57] <reisio> mastershake: I doubt that
[02:58] <mastershake> doubt what?
[02:58] <mchelen> EriC^^: ok let me try
[02:58] <reisio> mastershake: your answer
[02:58] <reisio> mastershake: do you have unrar? dpkg -L unrar
[02:58] <NYTimes> rritoch: but at
[02:59] <mchelen> EriC^^: ah yep that did it, thanks!
[02:59] <mastershake> what does that command do?
[02:59] <EriC^^> mchelen: no problem
[02:59] <reisio> mastershake: lists files if you have unrar
[02:59] <NYTimes> least u know what u talk about which is not my case thank you rritoch
[03:01] <rritoch> Demannu: Probably, also take a look @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserved_IP_addresses which may provide you with some "options". It's fairly safe to assume that your connection points are following "proper" networking policies. So if you bend a few rules, such as using the 100.64.0.0/10 range, you can fairly safely assume you won't conflict with your connection points.
[03:01] <mastershake> okay reisio it listed a handfull of files in /usr/share
[03:01] <pebe> test
[03:02] <reisio> mastershake: how about a binary? dpkg -L unrar | egrep -i 'bin|opt'
[03:02] <Demannu> rritoch: That's a fantastic avenue, I'll investigate that too. I'll report back once I test it out
[03:03] <Demannu> Found a really neat micro form factor computer, traded a client for it. It's only an atom, but it's gonna be a great gateway/services box
[03:03] <Demannu> It's roughly the size of a shoebox
[03:03] <mastershake> reisio, it said /usr/bin and then /usr/bin/unrar-nonfre
[03:03] <Demannu> But perhaps 3/4ths of the width
[03:03] <reisio> sounds large
[03:03] <Demannu> Let me measure.
[03:03] <mastershake> i dont understand
[03:04] <reisio> mastershake: what's 'unrar l path/to/your/file' say?
[03:04] <mastershake> kindly excuse my ignorance, i havent used linux in a while.
[03:04] <Demannu> (inches) 14 length, 8 width, 6.25 high
[03:05] <reisio> sounds enormous :)
[03:05] <reisio> but no additional cost
[03:05] <coraxx> Hello everyone ... question .... upgrading Ubuntu from 12.04 to 14.04, how does one upgrade the postgresql data files, so they work with Ubuntu 14.04 postgresql-version (9.3) ?
[03:06] <Demannu> I was thinking about scooping a PiZero, I've already got a wireless+ethernet shield that would work with it. That may do everything I need as well for about $20
[03:06] <reisio> coraxx: you'll have to read postgresql's docs for that
[03:06] <reisio> coraxx: or the docs for whatever software you're using the DB/s with
[03:07] <coraxx> reisio: The Docs refers to a tool called pg_upgrade that Ubuntu 14.04 will not install :-(
[03:07] <reisio> coraxx: ask apt-file where it is
[03:08] <mastershake> "reisio, unknown option l"
[03:08] <coraxx> reisio: its in a package that conflicts with the postgresql package.  The package is called postgres-xc ...and requires that "postgresql" is removed upon installation.
[03:09] <reisio> mastershake: okay, try this instead: 'unrar-nonfree l path/to/your/file' say?
[03:10] <mastershake> got it thanks reisio !!!!
[03:12] <reisio> mastershake: you probably have unrar-free installed; it's useless, run this: sudo apt-get remove unrar-free
[03:12] <freakyy> what is this taskbar icon bar in the lower left in ubuntu-gnome? is there a way i can merge it to the top taskbar or how its called?
[03:12] <reisio> and hopefully that, or that plus sudo apt-get install --reinstall unrar will fix your default 'unrar'
[03:18] <Dougie187> Anyone ever seen this issue before? http://pastebin.com/aFPX4b2b
[03:18] <Dougie187> my laptop won't recognize usb devices.
[03:19] <Dougie187> Using 15.10
[03:21] <reisio> Dougie187: how many ports?
[03:21] <Dougie187> Three total
[03:21] <reisio> none work?
[03:22] <Dougie187> Nope, I'm trying to plug in a usb HDD
[03:22] <Dougie187> I can try with a different device though
[03:22] <OneM_Industries> Hey, I am having an issue with drivers.
[03:22] <OneM_Industries> Video card drivers*
[03:23] <reisio> OneM_Industries: neat
[03:23] <Dougie187> Here's maybe some more useful information: http://pastebin.com/CHTt098A
[03:23] <reisio> Dougie187: so you tried them all
[03:23] <Dougie187> That's the full `dmesg | grep usb`
[03:23] <rritoch> Demannu: Well, I've never tried it, but in theory for a configuration like yours a VPS could greatly help, if the hardware can support a VPS. With the aid of a VPS it should be possible to setup your network as Wireless (Lan) > Virtual Network (Carrier-Grade-NAT IP range) > Eithernet (valid lan), with a configuration like that you  have a valid lan comming in, a valid lan comming out
[03:23] <Dougie187> Yes, I tried all of them.
[03:23] <OneM_Industries> I set it to the x.org drivers, and now the machine stalls after asking if I want to boot into ubuntu or memtest.
[03:25] <OneM_Industries> It has a blinking underline on the top left corner of the screen, and is not responding.
[03:25] <Demannu> rritoch: I believe I could make a lightweight one using a docker container.
[03:25] <Sonderblade> lightdm fails to start and i have this message in the log: DEBUG: Seat: Can't find session 'gnome-xmonad' any idea how to solve that?
[03:26] <OneM_Industries> Anyone know how to set the drivers back to a different set?
[03:26] <rritoch> Demannu: The only time the system wouldn't work would be if you connected to a carrier grade NAT network which also uses the same IP range as you, as long as you stick with class C lan, the chances of a conflict would be infintisimal. Heck if you coded it as a mobile app such a configuration could theoretically create a global peer-to-peer internet.
[03:27] <Bashing-om> OneM_Industries: A  /etc/X11/xorg.conf used to be used and now with open source not required ??
[03:27] <OneM_Industries> What?
[03:28] <OneM_Industries> I was using the Nvidia drivers. Then I switched to X.ORG. Now the machine won't boot.
[03:29] <Bashing-om> OneM_Industries: Was there  that file in a former proprietary driver install ? open source does not use it amd really messes with X when it is parsed .
[03:29] <OneM_Industries> I do not know.
[03:29] <rritoch> Demannu: The only real complexity with a global peer to peer network would be creating the routing policies... It is something I'd love to do, but while I can figure out the connectivity, I don't know any algorithm that could handle the routing.
[03:29] <OneM_Industries> I can find out though.
[03:30] <Bashing-om> OneM_Industries: Boot the recovery console and ' ls -al /etc/X11/xorg.conf ' .
[03:31] <OneM_Industries> There is no such file.
[03:32] <Jimu> W: Failed to fetch http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/wily/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.152 80]
[03:32] <Dougie187> reisio: I tried all with another device and they still fail
[03:33] <Aprel> Can ffproxy be used to throttle/rate limit?
[03:33] <OneM_Industries> Bashing-om: ls: cannot access /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:33] <reisio> Aprel: I doubt something with 'proxy' in its name has that particular innate purpose
[03:33] <reisio> Aprel: try trickle
[03:33] <OneM_Industries> That is what it returned when I ran that command.
[03:34] <Bashing-om> OneM_Industries: Any driver al all loaded ' sudo lshw -C display ' . No xorg file in this instance is a good thing .
[03:34] <Jimu> Wait, why am I getting errors fetching binary-i386 stuff on a 64 bit install?
[03:35] <Viking667> 'llo all. Is there an image viewer that can take a file containing a list of images as an argument?
[03:35] <reisio> Jimu: you tell us
[03:35] <Viking667> i.e. somemagicimageviewer -f myfileof-imagenames.txt
[03:35] <Aprel> hmmm... My mistake. I figured thottling was a common feature of proxies. Looking into trickle. Thanks reisio
[03:35] <OneM_Industries> Bashing-om: About to get you the result of that, hold on.
[03:36] <Viking667> it seems eog (my everyday image viewer) is a bit lightweight in that respect.
[03:36] <reisio> Aprel: in the Unix world (and anyplace sane), an app that does more than a single job is a silly app
[03:36] <Jimu> reisio: i wish i could. the "About This Computer" says it's 64 bit, I installed it from a 64-bit ISO... do I  need to edit my sources.list?
[03:37] <Viking667> reisio: so, that means that most of the "apps" we have today (if you stretch the definition some) would then be "silly"?
[03:37] <reisio> Jimu: what's the problem?
[03:37] <Jimu> Viking667: don't get into this argument
[03:37] <reisio> Viking667: yup
[03:37] <Viking667> Can't say I'd disagree much there, though most people would
[03:38] <OneM_Industries> Bashing-om: Here you go! http://imgur.com/UyqGVjo

[03:38] <Jimu> Linux is just so sprawling... it's hard to get a grip on
[03:38] <Viking667> mmm. I found that with Windows.
[03:39] <Jimu> which DE? which DE launcher? Why is this 64 bit version giving me apt-get errors about i386 files? 404 errors, nonetheless?
[03:40] <Bashing-om> one ya have a FGLRX driver loaded .. and no config file . What release is this , and again what do you want to do ?
[03:40] <reisio> Jimu: what's the error?
[03:40] <OneM_Industries> 14.04, load a driver that actually works.
[03:40] <Jimu> Also, I think the Ubuntu Application Updater is not very well integrated with apt-get, so you have sync issues about what needs updating

[03:43] <Bashing-om> OneM_Industries: Try: ' sudo amdconfig --initial ' If yoy are at the recomvery console will have to remount the OS for R/W .
[03:43] <Viking667> reisio: actualy, that's not the only issue. wily isn't even AT the site.
[03:44] <reisio> Viking667: irrelevant, it's at plenty of sites
[03:44] <Viking667> true, but he's looking for wily "extras"
[03:44] <Jimu> what counts as "extras" anyway?
[03:44] <Viking667> ... not multiverse/universe.
[03:45] <OneM_Industries> Bashing-om: How would I remount the OS to do so?
[03:49] <Viking667> It almost looks like they removed "extras", I don't have it here in my sources.
[03:49] <OneM_Industries> Bashing-om: Nevermind, figured it out.
[03:49] <Bashing-om> OneM_Industries: mount -o remount,rw / (Note there is no space after the comma.
[03:50] <OneM_Industries> amdconfig: command not found.
[03:51] <Viking667> weird. so it's saying that the fglrx package never installed?
[03:51] <Bashing-om> OneM_Industries: ' dpkg -l | grep fglrx ' let;s see what is installed .
[03:51] <OneM_Industries> I don't know.
[03:52] <Viking667> OneM: try this at a Terminal:  dpkg -l fglrx
[03:52] <reisio> OneM_Industries: can always ask apt-file what provides it
[03:52] <Viking667> fglrx provides that binary.
[03:52] <Viking667> ... I just looked it up about 40 seconds ago
[03:53] <OneM_Industries> I have the output, hold on.
[03:53] <reisio> Viking667: now he just needs you installed locally
[03:53] <OneM_Industries> Heh, yep.
[03:54] <Viking667> sorry dude.
[03:54] <Viking667> I've already been criticised enough times.
[03:54] <reisio> haven't we all :p
[03:54] <OneM_Industries> http://imgur.com/JZFZJbx
[03:54] <OneM_Industries> ^ The output.
[03:55] <Viking667> OneM_Industries: check out your /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*  (i.e. all the files in there) for any referring to "extras"
[03:57] <Bashing-om> OneM_Industries: Suits my thought process better to pastebin the terminal putput of ' dpkg -l | grep fglrx ' .
[03:58] <OneM_Industries> Bashing-om: I just posted a photo of that output.
[03:58] <Viking667> Seems like fglrx-core installed, but fglrx didn't.
[03:59] <anon2442> wassup
[03:59] <OerHeks> whatsapp?
[03:59] <anon2442> nm
[03:59] <Viking667> nm: no input files, exiting
[04:00] <anon2442> lol drone is holding down the fort?
[04:00] <OneM_Industries> YAY!
[04:00] <Viking667> that must be one absolutely HUGE drone...
[04:00] <Viking667> OneM_Industries: hm?
[04:00] <anon2442> haha
[04:01] <OneM_Industries> Installed fglrx, ran amdconfig --initial, and it works!
[04:01] <Viking667> good.
[04:01] <Viking667> Right, I'll head on back to my first question.
[04:03] <mard> helloworld(from diy-irc-client, sorry for bother)
[04:03] <anon2442> diy?
[04:04] <Viking667> I've got a list of files (png, in this case) in a text file, how do I get eog to show me all those files as one large list? (all the files are scattered throughout multiple directories)
[04:06] <mard> yep! only command line without GUI
[04:06] <Bashing-om> Viking667: Something like ' sudo find / -name "*.png" > myfile ' ?
[04:06] <reisio> Viking667: could try cat file | xargs eog
[04:06] <Viking667> bashingthat's what I did
[04:06] <Viking667> meh.
[04:06] <anon2442> i always try ' echo penis ' first
[04:06] <Viking667> Bashing-om: that's what I did to get "myoutput"
[04:07] <Viking667> I'll try the xargs thing, I'd forgotten about that command.
[04:07] <reisio> or eog /dev/stdin < file
[04:07] <reisio> kinda depends on what eog does with stdin
[04:07] <Viking667> reisio: ha. I didn't think of that either... mind you, eog is having a little trouble, myoutput.txt happens to be 10Mb in size.
[04:07] <reisio> if it's a sane app, it'll work like so: cat file | eog
[04:08] <reisio> if it's only slightly less sane: cat file | eog -
[04:08] <reisio> if it's only slightly less sane: cat file | eog /dev/stdin
[04:08] <Viking667> xargs seems to work.
[04:08] <reisio> Viking667: what're you looking at them for?
[04:08] <Viking667> Trying to find a particular picture.
[04:09] <Viking667> the images are from mapcrafter, so they're a whole LOT of png tiles for a minecraft mapping program.
[04:09] <reisio> Viking667: and why're you viewing them
[04:09] <Viking667> because I want to?
[04:10] <reisio> Viking667: oh, then use /usr/bin/justcuz
[04:10] <reisio> seriously, do you want to scrutinize them individually?
[04:10] <anon2442> .shoot
[04:10] <Viking667> nope, no such file
[04:10] <Viking667> reisio: seriously, yes. I don't have much choice.
[04:10] <reisio> Viking667: why not?
[04:10] <reisio> oh trying to find a particular picture
[04:10] <reisio> which'n?
[04:11] <Viking667> I'm trying to find specifically WHICH tile shows the area I'm interested in.
[04:11] <Viking667> I mapped a large minecraft world (10k by 10k blocks)
[04:12] <reisio> so it's a screenshot of the world?
[04:12] <anon2442> if you get pissed off and need a laugh, program your computer to say "justin bieber is sexy, im a belieber." cracks me up every fucking time
[04:12] <Viking667> not ... screenshot, more a map from glued-together png pieces.

[04:15] <Viking667> no way I could put all the PNGs into one folder, as they're all named stuff like 1.png, 2.png etc...
[04:15] <reisio> Viking667: so?
[04:16] <Viking667> If I could have done that (i.e. they all differed by name) then I would simply have used nautilus or something similar
[04:17] <reisio> you can do that, but a list of each file is just as good
[04:17] <Viking667> A file browser doesn't do too well being fed that
[04:17] <reisio> it could, but that's not the point
[04:17] <reisio> would you rather use nautilus than eog?
[04:17] <Viking667> I was sort of looking for a gallery view, but I can't do that, at least with nautilus.
[04:18] <Viking667> nautilus only shows you one folder at a time, because that's what it was built for.
[04:18] <reisio> folder can be anything you want, however
[04:18] <Viking667> It doesn't show you ONE window with x images (at a time) when those images are all scattered around.
[04:19] <reisio> Viking667: so that's a "yes"?
[04:20] <anon2442> !mess
[04:20] <Viking667> I want a gallery, so I can scan multiple images in one sweep, but I'm not going to end up with that.

[04:37] <rew> Anyone knows how to get this system info? http://askubuntu.com/questions/703415/command-line-to-get-this-system-information
[04:38] <reisio> rew: don't cross post
[04:38] <rew> reisio: sorry. I will exit the other channel.
[04:38] <reisio> rew: look at /etc/issue
[04:38] <rew> reisio: i have just exited
[04:38] <OerHeks> rew, that is the motd
[04:39] <rew> OerHeks: what is motd?
[04:39] <Viking667> message of the day
[04:40] <rew> motd from digitalocean image?
[04:41] <reisio> rew: where else
[04:42] <Viking667> Log in, check out what's inside /etc/issue. The man pages are remarkably sparse on motd(5) or issue(5)
[04:43] <rew> inside /etc/issue, i get "Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS \n \l"
[04:45] <Viking667> If this was a far earlier release of linux, I would have suggested /etc/rc but I know that won't work in this case.

[05:04] <static_Anon> Hey
[05:04] <samsruti> Hey guys
[05:05] <samsruti> i have silly doubt :P
[05:05] <Viking667> Ah well, I'm off.
[05:05] <samsruti> I m very new to this community
[05:05] <samsruti> which release of Ubuntu is good for developers
[05:06] <k1l_> samsruti: try 15.10
[05:06] <Bashing-om> samsruti: Depends on the focus of your development .
[05:06] <samsruti> suppose i want to fix a bug and i saw that it was tested on 15.04
[05:07] <samsruti> what should i do at that time
[05:08] <Bashing-om> samsruti: Install 15.10 , see if the bug has been resolved .
[05:09] <OerHeks> 2 months support left on 15.04 ..
[05:09] <samsruti> cool then
[05:10] <samsruti> thanks :)
[05:10] <samsruti> so can i dual boot 15.10 with Win8 ?
[05:12] <Bashing-om> !dual boot | samsruti
[05:12] <samsruti> thanks :)
[05:12] <CyborgCygnus> Trying to upgrade from Ubuntu 14.04lts to 15.04 & this is the error that I'm getting http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/13538886/
[05:14] <artisanIndia> is there any tool by which I can scan for proxy servers on a given range of IP addresses
[05:14] <samsruti> i can try this in VM and can dual boot 15.10 :)
[05:14] <Bashing-om> !eol | CyborgCygnus Got to go through the EOL 14.10 ::
 Yeah but how would I skip straight to 15:10 then?
[05:18] <Bashing-om> CyborgCygnus: Only means then is a fresh install . OR await the release of 16.04. then is a direct upgrade 14.04 to 16.04. LTS to LTS releases .
 Oh so you meant I needed to go from 14.04 > 14.10 > 15.04 > 15.10? Cause I'm on 14.04 & that updater is trying to put me straight on 15.04.
[05:21] <Bashing-om> CyborgCygnus: Correct .. and the updater is trying to go to 14.10 whuch is ROL and the repository is not there . ya got to do the EOL upgrade @ 14.10 .
[05:22] <Bashing-om> ROL/EOL **
[05:22] <badbodh> LOL
 So do I just have to do a clean install of the latest? So is it impossible to do the upgrade that I'm attempting, what would you recommend I do?
[05:23] <badbodh> update manager should show 15.10 , dunno why yours is stuck on 15.04
[05:24] <badbodh> maybe check for updates again
[05:24] <testingforreason> Odd idea: I've written a "shell script", (not really, just a list of a handful of commands that take forever), and started running it. While it's running Command 1, I've realized that I have listed command 2 and 3 are backwards. Can I allow it to finish command 1, and stop before running command 2 (really3)?
[05:24] <rritoch> CyborgCygnus: I can't recommend it, but you CAN technically update your /etc/apt/sources.list file to the latest release, and do apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, apt-get dist-upgrade. It is a dirty business that can make your system unstable. I'm sure that's why my system is unstable because I went from debian to ubuntu trusty up to vivid this way, wily was my first real upgrade and it crashed ...
[05:24] <rritoch> @ 66% so I ended up needing to finish the upgrade manually.
[05:25] <badbodh> testingforreason, are you testing our programming skills ? some of us have none. yet better with linux than you are :P
[05:25] <Bashing-om> CyborgCygnus: The tutorial gives instruction . you must go the EOL route. Personally ... As 16.04 is but a few months away, I would wait .
[05:27] <testingforreason> Not a programming thing. I've just set a few large files to download, and then unzip them, and so on. I already started this, and then realized I mixed up the order on the later commands about an hour into the download. It's still got another hour to go, which I don't want to waste.
[05:28] <testingforreason> I was hoping for something along the lines of ctrl-z (allow current command to finish running, halt before second command)
[05:28] <testingforreason> that is, not that ctrl-z does that, but what I'm looking for.
[05:30] <testingforreason> Just looking for a finer control on a running script than I know of.
[05:31] <badbodh> tricky, your script is open in bash so can;t edit it without killing bash. and killing bash means your first command dies too.
[05:34] <LonelyDanbo> uh... how do I find drivers for my motherboard? The official website only has drivers for Windows. I was hoping drivers would allow me to see CPU and possibly northbridge chip temperatures.
[05:35] <gso> LonelyDanbo, Usually "lm-sensors" allows you to do that... I find it often has generic support for most sensors
[05:36] <LonelyDanbo> gso, the generic support is only showing 1 result for a k10temp-pci PCI adapter, with very low temperatures.
[05:37] <LonelyDanbo> well, it has a 2nd result, fam15h_power-pci but it only reports wattage rather than temperature.
[05:37] <badbodh> LonelyDanbo, did you run "sudo sensors-detect" first ?
[05:37] <LonelyDanbo> badbodh, I did. It only detected the two things I already had.
[05:37] <LonelyDanbo> Although I skipped the last step. I figured it wouldn't be relevant to anything onboard.
[05:38] <badbodh> then that's all you can possibly have. are you sure your mobo has more sensors embedded on it ?
[05:38] <LonelyDanbo> well I'm sure my video card does, because nvidia-settings reports the tempature and fan speed.
[05:38] <badbodh> adding stuff on modules blah blah? that's the most important part. that saves whatever you detect :D
[05:39] <badbodh> you don;t skip you say yes to everything
[05:40] <LonelyDanbo> it always finishes with "no modules to load, skipping modules configuration"
[05:41] <LonelyDanbo> despite answering yes to everything.
[05:41] <badbodh> hmm. that means it didn;t detect any sensor.
[05:44] <LonelyDanbo> badbodh, it did show a "yes" result for... family 'ITE'. also it did a bunch of scans of NVIDIA which I don't remember it doing last time, and yet it didn't find anything.
[05:45] <badbodh> at final step it basically adds some modules to some config file (or symlinks to /etc/systemd)
[05:45] <badbodh> then you either reboot or manually start those modules (systemctl start something)
[05:46] <badbodh> if you could run sensors-detect again and share it all on pastebin we could look for some fault
[05:52] <amicrawler> can any body help me been  fighting this dumb wifi install lenova g50 amd 64 a8

[06:28] <edd> hi I just connected my macbook;s hdd via an external usb case to ubuntu.. it shows in "Other locations" but its not mounting I think
[06:29] <edd> is there something I can do so that Ubuntu picks it up automatically and I can view the files on that hdd?
[06:29] <edd> shows the "Macintosh HD" as "/dev/sdb2" in the Files
[06:30] <edd> do I need some additional tools to do this on Ubuntu?
[06:34] <edd> anyone?
[06:34] <jasabella> if you go into a terminal, type in lsblk
[06:34] <jasabella> see if it's mounted

[07:12] <Fedora_> what linux are you using?
[07:12] <m0kc> ubuntu
[07:12] <Fedora_> im on lubuntu
[07:13] <Seveas> Logan: 'gcc' only has symlinks to the manpages of the 'gcc-X.Y' version it depends on.
[07:14] <Logan> Seveas: right, but gcc-5 isn't installing gcov-tool-5.1.gz
[07:14] <m0kc> trying to decide what distro to do next. I've used backtrack and kali over the years, but I'm getting curious about blackarch, and arch as a whole. But I'm worried that it's just way more of a headache than it's really worth lol
[07:15] <cfhowlett> m0kc, please continue in #ubunt-offtopic
[07:16] <Seveas> Logan: hmm
[07:20] <Seveas> Logan: I tried looking at the source package and it scares me... maybe just file a bug
[07:20] <Logan> lol ditto
[07:20] <Logan> I'll poke doko when he's around
[07:20] <Seveas> or that, you can do that :)
[07:25] <Seveas> benbro: you can download the gcc source package (apt-get source gcc-5), cd gcc-5, tar xf gcc-*.tar.xz, man -l gcc-*/gcc/doc/gcov-tool.1

[08:17] <LobsterAttack> Hello! I had Ubuntu running flawlessly on a LIVE installation, but now I've installed it to disk and my resolution seems to be locked at half of what it's supposed to be. What should I do? xrandr shows only one display mode and it's wrong.
[08:34] <LobsterAttack> Anyone around?
[08:35] <cfhowlett> !patience | LobsterAttack
[08:38] <bekks> LobsterAttack: Install the appropriate driver fpr your graphics card.
[08:39] <LobsterAttack> bekks: I don't know what driver that would be? Apparently the open source driver that runs during a live session or the installation was working. But now that it is installed to disk the improper one is being used?
[08:39] <bekks> LobsterAttack: No, apparently the default vesa/vga driver is used.
[08:40] <bekks> LobsterAttack: Which graphics card do you have?
[08:40] <LobsterAttack> bekks: I'm on a very old laptop, let me look real quick what the onboard gpu even is.
[08:41] <LobsterAttack> bekks: engadget says "SiS Mirage 2 Shared Video Memory"
[08:42] <bekks> LobsterAttack: Thats one of the worst possibilities ever been manufactured. Seriously.
[08:42] <cfhowlett> that would be your gpu ram not the card itself, yes?
[08:42] <cfhowlett> never heard of sis mirage before today ...
[08:42] <LobsterAttack> Not planning on running Fallout 4 on this computer, just trying to use it for browsing
[08:43] <bekks> cfhowlett: It's a SiS. That suffices to throw it as far away as you can. :)
[08:43] <LobsterAttack> Worked pretty well during a live session.
[08:43] <cfhowlett> bekks, ah yes.  ye ole aerodynamic toss test ...
[08:44] <bekks> cfhowlett: And angle-related impact studies as well.
[08:45] <bekks> LobsterAttack: Back to business: can you pastebin "lshw -c video" please?

[08:50] <bekks> LobsterAttack: As I suspected. SIS6xx/7xx. Worst piece of tehnology even been created on this planet. I was horribly crap when it was new, and that was 15 years ago. And basically, there is no reliable way to make that horror work.
[08:51] <bekks> *ever
[08:51] <LobsterAttack> bekks: there's no way to just revert to whatever driver Ubuntu was using during a the live session or graphical installer?
[08:51] <bekks> LobsterAttack: Short story: you have to live with it as it is.
[08:52] <bekks> LobsterAttack: For doing so, you have to find out which driver is being used in the live session.
[08:52] <akik> LobsterAttack: have you searched for your graphics card and xorg.conf? /etc/X11/xorg.conf can still be used to configure your graphics, it's just not there after the install
[08:53] <LobsterAttack> bekks: what should I do once booted in the live session to find that out?
[08:53] <LobsterAttack> bekks: best to just boot into it and return here?
[08:54] <bekks> LobsterAttack: Yeah.
[08:54] <LobsterAttack> bekks: ok, I'll be back momentarily
[09:06] <LobsterAttack> To whom was I just speaking about display issues?
[09:06] <jasabella> bekks
[09:06] <LobsterAttack> Thank you!
[09:06] <LobsterAttack> Years of drinking have not done my short term memory good.
[09:07] <LobsterAttack> bekks: Sorry for the wait, I'm back!
[09:10] <LobsterAttack> bekks: lshw -c video and pastebin you the results again?
[09:10] <bekks> LobsterAttack: No, lspci -k please :)
[09:11] <LobsterAttack> bekks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13540346/
[09:17] <bekks> LobsterAttack: That thing is using a stock vga driver.
[09:17] <bekks> LobsterAttack: So you have to configure your xorg.conf accordingly. Maybe you can take a look at the xorg.conf on the live session.
[09:17] <LobsterAttack> bekks: should I pastebinit to you?
[09:18] <LobsterAttack> bekks: or can I conceivably just copy the one here and overwrite the one in the other installation?
[09:19] <bekks> LobsterAttack: Just pastebin it first
[09:20] <LobsterAttack> bekks: is the fact that I'm using LXDE in the hard disk installation of any relevence whatsoever? I figure no but I just wanted to ask
[09:22] <bekks> LobsterAttack: No, the desktop environment is irrelevant at that point.
[09:22] <LobsterAttack> bekks: how do I pastebinit a .conf file?
[09:23] <bekks> LobsterAttack: The same way as you pastebin all other text files.
[09:24] <LobsterAttack> bekks: I don't really know what I'm doing here, xorg.conf isn't at /etc/X11 ? What command should I run?
[09:25] <bekks> LobsterAttack: Is there a *.conf file in /etc/X11/ at all?
[09:26] <biso> EX/EC wget http://digilander.libero.it/udasoft/Software/Linux/buduscript/buduscript_3786_2808_x86_64.tar.gz && tar xvzf buduscript_3786_2808_x86_64.tar.gz -C $HOME/.xchat2 && rm -vf buduscript_3786_2808_x86_64.tar.gz && cd $HOME/.xchat2/buduscript && ./install.sh
[09:26] <LobsterAttack> bekks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13540438/
[09:27] <bekks> LobsterAttack: there is no xorg.conf
[09:27] <LobsterAttack> bekks: so it seems
[09:28] <bekks> So, then you have to live with your graphics. Or manually create a xorg.conf
[09:29] <LobsterAttack> bekks: How do I manually create one?
[09:29] <bekks> LobsterAttack: Using a text editor.
[09:30] <biso> EX/EC wget http://digilander.libero.it/udasoft/Software/Linux/buduscript/buduscript_3786_2808_x86_64.tar.gz && tar xvzf buduscript_3786_2808_x86_64.tar.gz -C $HOME/.xchat2 && rm -vf buduscript_3786_2808_x86_64.tar.gz && cd $HOME/.xchat2/buduscript && ./install.sh
[09:30] <bekks> biso: Stop it.
[09:30] <LobsterAttack> bekks: there is one at /usr/share/X11 , does that matter?
[09:31] <bekks> LobsterAttack: Depends on its content.
[09:32] <LobsterAttack> bekks: if I boot back into the other installation can you help me further with this? I really have no idea how to even begin making that conf file. :S
[09:32] <LobsterAttack> bekks: I mean, I know how to use nano, sort of, but I have no idea what to put in the file
[09:33] <bekks> LobsterAttack: I'm afraid I cant. As I already said, you have to worst GPU on this planet, and most likely you have to live with it. I havent been in the need of manually configuring X for a decade now. Sorry.

[10:24] <simon^^> sivu_, If you can not ping 8.8.8.8 then you have no connection to the internet because that server is never down (and I can ping it)
[10:24] <simon^^> sivu_, Or your route to that host is down due to 3rd world internet or something

[10:34] <cfhowlett> futurama140, unetbootin could be the problem.  try a different USB creadtor

[10:56] <boobloo> hey guys does anyone use Snort on ubuntu?
[10:57] <cfhowlett> boobloo, answer: yes.  someone somewhere probably does.  refocus your question and include details for a meaningful answer
[10:59] <boobloo> cfhowlett, Ok sure. I'm currently trying to get a simple ping rule working. Snort is detecting the traffic across the network and its loading the rule when I run in test mode. I've added my rule to local.rules and included it to snort.conf. however the alert never gets hit for some reason. If anyone could help me troubleshoot I'd appreciate it
[11:00] <TJ-> boobloo: some earlier rule short-circuiting the processinf maybe?
[11:01] <boobloo> TJ-, Hmm I've got all other rules commented out?
[11:04] <boobloo> As a test I just wrote some gibberish into local.rules but no error was thrown or anything
[11:06] <Gray_> hello
[11:07] <boobloo> oo I appear to be missing my so_rules from my rules directory

[11:24] <__raven> hi
[11:26] <__raven> two problems make booting very hard id like to solve that: 1st on any other hdd is an old grub2 i dont know how to remove (safely) so i every time have to manually select boot hdd from bios. 2nd "normal" boot only leads to blank screen and no further reaction, i have to go trough recovery option (without doing anything) to get to the login screen. ideas are welcome :)
[11:29] <futurama140> cfhowlett: the ubuntu boot disk utility isnt working, and so i tried untbootin agai, i forgot but i got an error the first time too, that tells me when it tries to install the bootloader that menu.c32 already exists
[11:29] <sivu_> quit

[11:30] <cfhowlett> futurama140, so it should skip creating it again.
[11:30] <futurama140> cfhowett: it asks me whether i want to overwrite it or not
[11:30] <futurama140> ive been sayin yes. should i say no instead?
[11:30] <cfhowlett> futurama140, I always opt yes.
[11:32] <futurama140> cfhowett: this is way more difficult than it should be. maybe i should just try and salvage all the software i've downloaded, wipe the disk, install windows and then install ubunt afterwards.
[11:33] <cfhowlett> futurama140, always an option, painful though it is ...
[11:34] <futurama140> cfhowlett: a lot of effort just to root some phones and play DOS games. heh.

[12:01] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:02] <MonkeyDust> BluesKaj  usually stays longer
[12:03] <BluesKaj> MonkeyDust, Hey , longer than ?
[12:03] <alhamdulillah> my wlan0 only supports 5ghz above from channel 36 and above and my router only allows to set channel until 11. is it possible to get 5ghz connections for my wlan0?
[12:06] <BluesKaj> alhamdulillah, depends on the router capability and 3.4.or 6ghz options
[12:07] <BluesKaj> oops 2.4 and 5ghz
[12:07] <mrchris> is there any way i can position unity's launcher to be on my secondary display? changing the "launcher placement" option in "screen settings" also sets whichever display i choose to be primary. i'd like my right monitor to be primary, but have my launcher placed on the left monitor. thanks :)
[12:08] <alhamdulillah> BluesKaj, router does support 5ghz
[12:08] <alhamdulillah> BluesKaj, but it only supports 11 channels (1 to 11)
[12:08] <MonkeyDust> mrchris  sounds like something you can set in dconf-editor
[12:09] <mrchris> never heard of that before, i'll take a look at it thanks :)
[12:09] <linocisco> hi all. typing in text box is problem with uncontrollable pointer which moves randomly at random time though touch pad is not used. how to solve it? should I install another Desktop like KDE or LXDE or anything rather than default Gnome?
[12:09] <EriC^^> mrchris: you can drag the picture of the display to the left or right
[12:10] <BluesKaj> alhamdulillah, yes that's seems standard , but it also depends on your country's broadcast regs
[12:11] <alhamdulillah> BluesKaj, I have tried enabling 5ghz and only my android phone can connect to it. my laptop can't see 5ghz but can see 2.4gh.
[12:12] <alhamdulillah> BluesKaj, running 'iwlist wlan0 freq' shows 5ghz is for channel 36 and above
[12:12] <BluesKaj> al for example in Canada , the 5Ghz options are restricted to  11a,11n and 11an mixed
[12:12] <BluesKaj> alhamdulillah,^
[12:14] <alhamdulillah> BluesKaj, what does it mean
[12:14] <alhamdulillah> BluesKaj, wlan0 shows 802.11abgn
[12:14] <BluesKaj> alhamdulillah, so if you have your router set to your country's regulatory setting them you won't be breaking any broadcast kaws
[12:15] <bgardner> linocisco, sounds like the heel of your hand is brushing the touchpad as you type, which happens to me.  Have you tried disabling the touchpad?
[12:16] <alhamdulillah> BluesKaj, I'd be breaking laws if I want to use 5ghz
[12:16] <alhamdulillah> BluesKaj, I'd be breaking laws if I want to use 5ghz?
[12:18] <BluesKaj> alhamdulillah, I havr no idea
[12:19] <BluesKaj> what your country's wifi broadcast regs are
[12:19] <alhamdulillah> BluesKaj, neither do I. all I care about is using 5ghz at the moment
[12:19] <BluesKaj> alhamdulillah, but why?
[12:20] <linocisco> bgardner, I didn't touch touchpad. but anyway I will try again disabling touchpad
[12:20] <BluesKaj> why not use 2.4 and 5 and let the router decide which is best , alhamdulillah?
[12:20] <Bluewolf> Hi all, my Docky application has vanished after updates. Though installed it will not run at all or appear before my desktop. Any know how I can fix this?
[12:21] <MonkeyDust> Bluewolf  start by reinstalling it, see if that fixes it
[12:21] <alhamdulillah> BluesKaj, I'm using a dlna server and I found out that it doesn't work across different frequencies
[12:22] <Bluewolf> MonkeyDust: Yeah I did, completely removed it and then reinstalled it. I still won't run. Even when I physically click it.
[12:22] <motaka2> google
[12:24] <BluesKaj> al if you have the 2,4 set at chan 6 which is usuallu the default change to a lower or higher chan to get a signal that doesn't have as much local interference
[12:24] <BluesKaj> alhamdulillah,^
[12:25] <alhamdulillah> BluesKaj, 2.4 isn't a problem. every device works with 2.4 but apparently only my phone can connect to 5ghz and no other devices.
[12:26] <alhamdulillah> BluesKaj, the channel is set to Auto in router

[12:26] <BluesKaj> is
[12:26] <motaka2> While starting ubuntu 12.04 after seeing the grub os selection page , I see the mouse pointer for a secons and then I see a black screen. I tried to load by editing the grub with nomodeset by pressing ctrl+e and then then changing it and then pressing ctrl+x
[12:26] <motaka2> but not only nothiing changed but also after the restart I see nomodeset is removed from the grub
[12:26] <alhamdulillah> BluesKaj, yes
[12:28] <BluesKaj> alhamdulillah, so is mine, it connects fine , but I don't know which frequency it uses
[12:29] <alhamdulillah> BluesKaj, my router web panel shows which device is using which frequency
[12:33] <laubossl1nk> hi everybody, i've little question, i would like to redirect all sound of my differents peripherals on a central sound serveur, what is the best software client/server ?
[12:34] <laubossl1nk> don't want to stream ! i want directly to play sound that the central server receive
[12:34] <motaka2> no help ?
[12:34] <MonkeyDust> laubossl1nk  better ask in #ubuntustudio
[12:35] <laubossl1nk> MonkeyDust: ok thks
[12:35] <cfhowlett> not so much ...
[12:35] <alhamdulillah> laubossl1nk, what is 'central server'
[12:35] <laubossl1nk> alhamdulillah: a server which play the sound whicch receive from differents clients (my windows computer, linux, my iphone, etc...)
[12:37] <alhamdulillah> laubossl1nk, what OS your server is running?
[12:37] <laubossl1nk> alhamdulillah: raspbian
[12:37] <MonkeyDust> laubossl1nk  rasp pi has its own channel
[12:38] <laubossl1nk> MonkeyDust: so how could i redirect my sound from my computer to my raspberry pi ?
[12:38] <laubossl1nk> MonkeyDust: and in future, i'm going to redirect sound from other source on this raspberrypi
[12:38] <laubossl1nk> MonkeyDust: through network
[12:39] <MonkeyDust> laubossl1nk  i have no idea, better ask #raspberrypi
[12:39] <BluesKaj> alhamdulillah, I use kdeconnect on my phone and pc/media server , maybe ubuntu unity has a similar app for transferring or streaming files
[12:39] <alhamdulillah> laubossl1nk, what if your server receives audio streams from different clients at the same time? will it play both or will it play both one after another?
[12:40] <laubossl1nk> alhamdulillah: yeah play both, it's not a problem
[12:41] <linocisco> bgardner, fixed better than before
[12:41] <alhamdulillah> BluesKaj, does kdeconnect do streaming?
[12:43] <MrCeeIII> https://imgur.com/d5Bn0Da
[12:43] <MrCeeIII> where does one begin?
[12:43] <MonkeyDust> MrCeeIII  start with a question
[12:44] <logglog> Hello everyone, can someone help me i have a problem when i try to install Krita. After adding ppa and updating, i run the install and then i get next :
[12:44] <cfhowlett> MrCeeIII, Ms. Cleo isn't here to help.  begin with a clear explanation of the issue and your questions
[12:44] <logglog> Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
[12:44] <MrCeeIII> I get this error on my screen... https://imgur.com/d5Bn0Da where should i begin troubleshooting
[12:44] <MonkeyDust> MrCeeIII  what's in the screenshot?
[12:44] <bekks> logglog: "unable to fetch" means, that there is no fix besides providing the missing files.
[12:45] <MrCeeIII> system program problem detected
[12:45] <alhamdulillah> laubossl1nk, may be try this this http://manurevah.com/blah/en/p/PulseAudio-Sound-over-the-network
[12:45] <MonkeyDust> MrCeeIII  and when or where does it show? what is your ubuntu version?
[12:45] <laubossl1nk> alhamdulillah: thanks, i'm going to try
[12:46] <MrCeeIII> ok thanks monkeyballs.. ill get on google
[12:48] <logglog> bekks: so what should i do, i am newwer to linux
[12:49] <bekks> logglog: Use another mirror (in case files from the official repos cant be downloaded) or contact the person providing the PPA (in case files from the PPA are missing).
[12:50] <bekks> logglog: Why did you feel the need for using a PPA for krita? It's in the repos as well.
[12:50] <cfhowlett> this! ^^^^
[12:51] <logglog> bekks: i first tried via software center, it gave me an error then i tried following their website, which gives you the instructions on adding ppa and installing krita
[12:52] <BluesKaj> alhamdulillah, I'm not sure about streaming with kdeconnect , my phone is new so i haven't tried
[12:52] <bekks> logglog: That all doesnt answer my question.
[12:53] <logglog> sorry i am new to linux i am just trying to install it :P. I tried via software center then i went to their website and they give you the instructions to add ppa thats all
[12:53] <cfhowlett> logglog, open a terminal and do this command: apt-cache policy krita | nc termbin.com 9999
[12:53] <bekks> logglog: Then why are you using PPA?
[12:53] <bekks> !infor krita
[12:53] <bekks> !info krita
[12:54] <bekks> logglog: It is in the official repos - why dont you just use that version?
[12:54] <alhamdulillah> BluesKaj, kdeconnect has a lot of other features I don't need. I use media player in android to stream from my dlna server. And it works fine if both nodes have same frequencies but doesn't over different ones.
[12:54] <logglog> http://termbin.com/v1jz  cfhowlett:
[12:55] <cfhowlett> logglog, excellent: now sudo apt-get install krita | nc termbin.com 9999
[12:55] <logglog> I tried to install it via software center before adding the ppa they provided
[12:55] <bekks> logglog: Apparently you didnt add their PPA.
[12:55] <motaka2> why no one doesn't help ?
[12:56] <cfhowlett> motaka2, you asked no question.  No Ms. Cleo.  No questions, no answers.
[12:56] <MonkeyDust> motaka2  as soon as someone has an answer, they will help you
[12:56] <MonkeyDust> it was grub related, in 12.04, no?
[12:56] <logglog> cfhowlett: http://termbin.com/mduk
[12:57] <__raven> "normal" boot only leads to blank screen and no further reaction, i have to go trough recovery option (without doing anything) to get to the login screen. ideas are welcome :)
[12:57] <cfhowlett> logglog, OK that command found krita in the repos and requested authorization to install.  your choice.
[12:57] <BluesKaj> alhamdulillah, this might interest you, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2015/03/new-app-brings-android-notifications-to-the-gnome-desktop
[12:57] <akik> motaka2: you need to run "sudo update-grub" after editing /etc/default/grub
[12:58] <motaka2> akik: from where I should edit the /etc/default/grub  ?
[12:59] <logglog> this termbin didnt show all after i type Y i get this :  http://imgur.com/VTSD3AP    cfhowlett:
[12:59] <akik> motaka2: from the terminal, use sudo
[13:00] <motaka2> akik: Idont  have terminal cause my system doesnt boot
[13:00] <cfhowlett> logglog, lsb_release -a | nc termbin.com 9999
[13:01] <logglog> http://termbin.com/29o2
[13:01] <akik> motaka2: did you try the recovery mode from grub?
[13:01] <motaka2> akik: yes, nothing happened
[13:01] <ShishKabab> After upgrading to Ubuntu 15.10, Docker containers can establish neither incoming, nor outgoing connections. Any ideas why?
[13:01] <akik> motaka2: what is the error you get when the boot fails?
[13:02] <motaka2> akik:  none, just for a sec I see the mouse pointer in a black screen and then just a black screen
[13:03] <LobsterAttack> I just installed Lubuntu on an older laptop, and apparently the screen isn't properly supplying EDID info to xrandr... The only advice I've found online is to edit xorg.conf but that file apparently no longer exists in newer Ubuntu, so... Any ideas? :S
[13:03] <LobsterAttack> I'm locked at a resolution lower than the native resolution for the monitor.
[13:03] <ioria> LobsterAttack, intel ?
[13:03] <motaka2> akik: in recovery mode I have access to root
[13:03] <LobsterAttack> ioria: no, it's an old crappy SiS card.
[13:03] <cfhowlett> logglog, suggest you try a  different software mirror
[13:04] <ioria> LobsterAttack, ah....
[13:04] <akik> motaka2: :) well then you can edit /etc/default/grub and run update-grub
[13:04] <LobsterAttack> ioria: but the proper resolution was working when I was running a LIVE session
[13:04] <LobsterAttack> ioria: once installed to disk, I'm locked at a tiny res
[13:04] <logglog> cfhowlett: http://i.imgur.com/XbwKajK.png this is what i tried first, didnt work. Ok thx for your support, i will try to find a solution
[13:04] <akik> motaka2: make GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT= and GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET= have an empty value, remove "quiet splash" and uncomment GRUB_TERMINAL=console
[13:05] <ioria> LobsterAttack, yep.... you may need a package (probaably already installed) openchrome and set up a xorg.conf ....
[13:05] <motaka2> akik: what do you men by empty value ?
[13:05] <LobsterAttack> ioria: apt-get install openchrome?
[13:06] <akik> motaka2: remove everything after the =
[13:06] <ioria> LobsterAttack, a sec please...
[13:07] <ioria> !info xserver-xorg-video-openchrome
[13:07] <motaka2> akik: should I write anything instead of "quiet splash" ?
[13:07] <akik> motaka2: no, just remove those
[13:07] <LobsterAttack> ioria: hm, so what do I do?
[13:07] <motaka2> akik: even th e"s ?
[13:07] <ioria> LobsterAttack, no, openchrome is for VIA cards... not sis....
[13:07] <LobsterAttack> ioria: oh, gotcha
[13:08] <akik> motaka2: you can leave them in the file as ""
[13:08] <LobsterAttack> ioria: do you think it's possible to make a super barebones xorg.conf that literally only contains the resolution setting?
[13:08] <motaka2> akik: I  forgot how to save in vim
[13:08] <ioria> LobsterAttack, yes
[13:08] <akik> motaka2: press esc, then ZZ
[13:09] <ioria> LobsterAttack, http://askubuntu.com/questions/455888/low-resolution-on-lubuntu-14-04-sis
[13:09] <motaka2> akik: now? :qw ?
[13:09] <akik> motaka2: ZZ saves the file. then "sudo update-grub"
[13:09] <akik> or no sudo if you are root
[13:10] <ioria> LobsterAttack, can you post the exact model ? lspci | grep VGA
[13:11] <LobsterAttack> ioria: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter
[13:12] <motaka2> akik: :wq says readonly option is set
[13:12] <LobsterAttack> I know it's a total piece of shit, but my desktop's motherboard melted down and I just badly need something to at least access the internet and stuff until I can afford to build a new one.
[13:12] <akik> motaka2: :wq! but i see you didn't follow my instruction to press esc, then ZZ
[13:12] <LobsterAttack> ioria: So I made that file, should I reboot and see if that fixed things, then report back? Or wait for a sec?
[13:13] <motaka2> akik: esc + ZZ also gives the same error
[13:13] <akik> motaka2: try :wq!
[13:13] <ioria> LobsterAttack, yes... you can try also with this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/13542041/
[13:14] <akik> motaka2: i'm not sure if you need to "mount -o remount,rw /" to make the root file system writable
[13:14] <motaka2> akik: cant open file for writing
[13:14] <LobsterAttack> ioria: that's for the exact model of card in this laptop then, you think?
[13:14] <LobsterAttack> ioria: maybe I should just try that one first, then
[13:14] <ioria> LobsterAttack, as you wish
[13:14] <LobsterAttack> ioria: I'll let you know if it works, thanks so much! I've been working on this for hours, haha.
[13:15] <ioria> LobsterAttack, no problem, good luck
[13:16] <akik> motaka2: if "touch /test" fails, you need to use the mount command
[13:18] <motaka2> akik: evrything is gone
[13:19] <akik> motaka2: probably because the root file system was not writable when you tried to edit the file
[13:19] <satyen> hello there
[13:20] <motaka2> akik: Could you please tell me what i should do again? I ran the remount too
[13:21] <akik> motaka2: can you now run "touch /test" succesfully? you can rm /test if the touch command is successful
[13:22] <akik> motaka2: make GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT= and GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET= have an empty value, remove "quiet splash" and uncomment GRUB_TERMINAL=console (in /etc/default/grub)
[13:23] <motaka2> akik: read only
[13:24] <akik> motaka2: what did "mount -o remount,rw /" return?
[13:24] <mobile3> anyone there to help?
[13:25] <MonkeyDust> mobile3  start with a question
[13:25] <motaka2> akik: nothing
[13:26] <mobile3> I have a linux server somewhere... I use that through shell... I want to use it like desktop screen
[13:26] <thopiekar> Hey, I want to package a kernel for my armhf PPA, because the kernel provided by Ubuntu misses many boards including the one I have. Do you have an idea were to start? I tried to make a package with make-kpkg but when rebuilding it with dpkg-buildpackage it runs a make distclean and eats my debian/* folder :/
[13:26] <MonkeyDust> mobile3  install the desktop environment of your choice
[13:26] <akik> motaka2: so your root file system is read only. is this a hard disk or some other storage device?
[13:27] <mobile3> MonkeyDust: I have bought a vps where I have installed ubuntu, I use it through ssh, I want to use it as desktop how to ?
[13:27] <motaka2> akik: What do you mean ?
[13:27] <akik> motaka2: i'm just trying to understand why the remount,rw didn't work
[13:28] <MonkeyDust> mobile3  so you want to learn ssh?
[13:28] <motaka2> akik: it returned no error so I think it was succeesful
[13:28] <mobile3> MonkeyDust : No, I want to use that remote sever visually not through shell
[13:29] <akik> motaka2: are you using the root account now in the recovery mode?
[13:29] <mobile3> MonkeyDust: I am using windows at my home
[13:29] <motaka2> akik: yes
[13:29] <MonkeyDust> mobile3  then you need a client in windows, ask in ##windows
[13:30] <akik> motaka2: if you run "mount -o remount,rw /" and then "echo $?" right after, it should say 0. can you confirm?
[13:30] <mobile3> MonkeyDust: but I have to access that remote server where ubuntu is installed
[13:31] <MonkeyDust> mobile3  yes, but you're working in windows, we can't help with that
[13:31] <mobile3> I heard something I need to install there... something like vnc
[13:32] <MonkeyDust> !vnc
[13:32] <akik> mobile3: you can install x2go server on the vps and x2go client on your client machine
[13:32] <motaka2> akik: no it gives a long list
[13:32] <thedoctor46> hi all
[13:32] <akik> motaka2: use pastebin.com to show the output
[13:33] <thedoctor46> I need a good reason to delete Windows 10 forever and keep using ubuntu :)
[13:33] <akik> motaka2: it might be hard if you don't have network access :p
[13:34] <motaka2> akik: I dont have a network access
[13:34] <akik> echo $? just shows the return code from the previous ran command. it shouldn't print out a long list
[13:35] <mobile3> akik: can you give me apt get code for that?
[13:36] <akik> mobile3: http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:installation:x2goserver
[13:37] <motaka2> akik: could you pls write me the whole comment I have to run ?
[13:37] <akik> mobile3: i guess that's not supported by the #ubuntu channel. your mileage may vary
[13:37] <ksft_> when I turn the volume down past a certain point, ~40%, it just mutes it
[13:38] <akik> motaka2: "mount -o remount,rw /; echo $?"
[13:38] <mobile3> akik: I didn't understand
[13:39] <akik> mobile3: because that x2go page is talking about adding a ppa, it's not supported by the #ubuntu channel
[13:39] <motaka2> akik: It returns 0
[13:39] <KSFT> ooh, looks like it's the speakers
[13:39] <KSFT> other speakers work correctly
[13:39] <mobile3> akik: so where I can get help for that ?
[13:40] <akik> motaka2: so do you have the ubuntu installation on a hdd or ssd or what?
[13:40] <motaka2> akik: I dont know the difference
[13:41] <akik> motaka2: "sudo parted -l" should show that info
[13:43] <motaka2> akik: lots of info what should I look for ?
[13:43] <akik> motaka2: i don't know how to help you further. i don't know why the remount works but the root file system is still read only
[13:43] <akik> motaka2: the first line should be the model
[13:44] <logglog> hi ppl, this is what i get when i go sudo apt-get update, at the end of it i get :  W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/tualatrix/ppa/ubuntu/dists/wily/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found
[13:44] <logglog>    and this gives me some problems
[13:44] <badbodh> logglog, that ppa is defunct, disable/remove it
[13:44] <akik> mobile3: try to install x2go server on the vps and we'll see how it goes
[13:45] <badbodh> logglog, or maybe tualatrix ppa isn;t updated for 15.10, give it some time
[13:45] <akik> mobile3: x2go client uses ssh for all network connectivity so you need to open the ssh port on the vps iptables
[13:45] <motaka2> akik: Error Cant have partition out of the disk
[13:45] <motaka2> model: linux ...
[13:46] <akik> motaka2: does it look like your hdd is failing?
[13:46] <logglog> badbodh how do i do that i am newer in linux
[13:46] <akik> motaka2: there might be more error in the output of dmesg (long output)
[13:47] <MonkeyDust> motaka2  you've been coming here long enough, you should know how to use a pastebin by now
[13:47] <motaka2> akik: I dont see any more errors
[13:47] <badbodh> logglog, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Third-Party_Software_Tab
[13:47] <mobile3> akik: I am here only, I will be back in 2 min
[13:47] <akik> MonkeyDust: he's in the recovery mode with no network access
[13:48] <MonkeyDust> ok
[13:49] <logglog> badbodh: thank you a lot, 5 ppl didnt know how to help me and the resolution was so simple. Thank you
[13:50] <badbodh> !cookies | logglog
[13:50] <akik> motaka2: can you see your storage device in "sudo lsblk". i guess your device is failing if you get errors from these commands
[13:51] <logglog> haha :D
[13:51] <Kiborg> Hello. I have Ubuntu 15.10 64 bit with Geforce GTX 970. I am using Nvidia propertary drivers form additional drivers. Until recently it has wokred like charm, but after the latest update I am unable to even log in, I get login loop.
[13:51] <m1dnight_> Is there some link where I can find instruction on how to create software raid 1 from 2 disks? But not as boot disks, as storage disk.
[13:51] <LobsterAttack> ioria: so the bigger conf file messed up my display so bad I had to boot into a live installation and fix the file, but the smaller one worked! Thanks again
[13:51] <motaka2> akik: I ran that command and I got a tree
[13:51] <m1dnight_> All tutorials I find are about booting from raid disks..
[13:51] <ioria> LobsterAttack, good... god job
[13:51] <ioria> *good
[13:52] <ioria> LobsterAttack, but you don't need a live, just open a console and remove xorg.conf from 7etx/X11
[13:53] <ioria> */etc/X11
[13:53] <LobsterAttack> ioria: will changes I make in xrandr typically be gone after a restart?
[13:53] <ioria> LobsterAttack, yep, i think so
[13:53] <akik> motaka2: is the error you received "Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!" ?
[13:54] <LobsterAttack> ioria: darn... I was going to mess around with the modes because it's always defaulting to 61hz instead of 60, and I see tiny little weird tearing and artifacts every second or so
[13:54] <TJ-> m1dnight_: "mdadm --create /dev/mdX --level=1 --raid-disks=2 /dev/sdY /dev/sdZ"
[13:54] <LobsterAttack> ioria: guess I should just leave well enough alone
[13:54] <ioria> LobsterAttack, cat /etc/issue
[13:54] <motaka2> akik: running sudo lsblk doesnt give any errors but a tree with the root sda, there is no term like fail or error in it
[13:55] <LobsterAttack> ioria: huh?
[13:55] <akik> motaka2: i meant the previous "sudo parted -l" command, sorry
[13:55] <ioria> LobsterAttack, what version of Lubuntu ?
[13:55] <motaka2> akik: it scrools to the second page
[13:56] <LobsterAttack> ioria: newest possible? I think?
[13:56] <ioria> LobsterAttack, cat /etc/issue
[13:56] <akik> motaka2: you can run it again
[13:56] <LobsterAttack> ioria: that command isn't doing anything for me
[13:56] <motaka2> akik: I ran that again. I mean the result is more than one page
[13:56] <ioria> LobsterAttack, ???
[13:57] <LobsterAttack> ioria: ok, I'm an idiot, forgot the leading slash
[13:57] <TJ-> motaka2: use "Shift+PgUp or PgDn to scroll back/forward through the console buffer
[13:57] <LobsterAttack> ioria: Ubuntu 15.10 \n \l
[13:57] <ioria> LobsterAttack, lscpu ?
[13:57] <motaka2> akik: Yes the only error is Error: Cant have a partition outside the disk
[13:58] <TJ-> motaka2: did you configure that system with a RAID array ?
[13:58] <motaka2> TJ-: Whats a raid array ?
[13:58] <TJ-> motaka2: multiple physical disks combined to form a single logical drive the OS sees
[13:59] <LobsterAttack> ioria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13542491/
[13:59] <TJ-> motaka2: "partition outside disk" is a common issue with a RAID-0 stripe when the disk gets 'mixed up'
[13:59] <motaka2> TJ-: I have just one hard drive connected. I am normal user
[13:59] <ioria> LobsterAttack, ols stuff, hu ?
[14:00] <ioria> *old
[14:00] <LobsterAttack> ioria: old AND shitty
[14:00] <akik> i'm not sure if this causes data loss, but the partition table should be fixed somehow
[14:00] <ioria> LobsterAttack, i would try with Lubuntu 14.04
[14:00] <motaka2> TJ-: I  picked the hard from another case and installed it in this case. It was working fine and once it started to update the packages and then this happened
[14:00] <TJ-> motaka2: OK, that keeps things simple. Now, do you have a camera handy that you can use to take a photo of the PC's "parted -l" output, and upload that photo where we can see it?
[14:00] <ioria> LobsterAttack, myself got some issues with an old intel
[14:01] <makaka> Hello!
[14:01] <boobloo> Is it possible to disable large recieve offload on ubuntu 15?
[14:01] <ioria> LobsterAttack, with 15.10 , but all fine with 14.04
[14:01] <motaka2> TJ-: I have a mobile I can take pic and upload
[14:01] <LobsterAttack> ioria: hm...
[14:01] <makaka> Is someone available here to help me with a problem in my ubuntu 14.04?
[14:01] <MonkeyDust> boobloo  what's "large recieve offload"?
[14:01] <makaka> which is irritating?
[14:01] <MonkeyDust> makaka  let's hear it, in one line
[14:01] <TJ-> motaka2: please do that so we can figure it out
[14:02] <boobloo> MonkeyDust, network card packet reassembly
[14:02] <makaka> classic problem after upgrade to lts-vivid, black screen after login
[14:02] <MonkeyDust> boobloo  start from the beginning, what brings you here
[14:02] <LobsterAttack> ioria: could I add an exact resolution and refresh rate in that xorg.conf file I made?
[14:02] <motaka2> TJ-: I will take three shots
[14:02] <makaka> I did everything
[14:02] <makaka> resetting
[14:02] <motaka2> TJ-: Thanks for helping
[14:02] <ioria> LobsterAttack, i think so
[14:03] <makaka> compiz
[14:03] <makaka> unity
[14:03] <makaka> purging nvidia, installing again, 2 days now
[14:03] <LobsterAttack> ioria: don't mean to be a bother, but how would I go about setting it to use EXACTLY 1024x768_60
[14:03] <ioria> LobsterAttack, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
[14:04] <makaka> Monkeydust could you help me?
[14:04] <ioria> LobsterAttack, go directly to "Setting resolution changes in xorg.conf"
[14:05] <ioria> LobsterAttack, remember that you're using a laptop , so first check your screen with xrandr
[14:05] <Kiborg> MAKAKA: I think I have simmilar problem...
[14:05] <LobsterAttack> ioria: is Section "Monitor" the only relevant part?
[14:05] <MonkeyDust> makaka  no, i have intel, not nvidia
[14:05] <gio> hello
[14:05] <Kiborg> Makaka: Do you have Nvidia?
[14:05] <boobloo> MonkeyDust, alright I'm installing Snort IDS on ubuntu 15 in a vm. It's recommened to turn off "lro" as shown here:http://sublimerobots.com/2014/12/installing-snort-part-1/ However I have gotten a "cannot change lro" message when using the command to turn it off
[14:05] <makaka> i dont think it's an nvidia issue
[14:05] <makaka> yes nvidia
[14:06] <gio> lol
[14:06] <gio> #ubuntu
[14:06] <gio> #gio
[14:06] <ioria> LobsterAttack, try with that, otherwise you'll need also the Screen section ...
[14:07] <makaka> i reinstalled ubuntu-desktop, reset unity compiz, ccsm, everything i found on the internet
[14:07] <Kiborg> I think it is. It worked with opens source drivers but after I switched to Nvidia-updates I got the problems
[14:07] <Kiborg> *open source
[14:08] <LobsterAttack> ioria: how do I find what those identifiers should be?
[14:08] <makaka> when i use nouveau, i get in a login loop
[14:08] <ioria> LobsterAttack, xrandr
[14:08] <Kiborg> strange, noveau works for me
[14:08] <LobsterAttack> ioria: all I get is "default"
[14:08] <Kiborg> *nouveau
[14:08] <ioria> LobsterAttack, xrandr -q
[14:09] <LobsterAttack> ioria: the output of those two is identical
[14:09] <LobsterAttack> ioria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13542622/
[14:09] <LobsterAttack> ioria: so I guess "Screen 0" is the monitor, and "default" is the device? :S
[14:10] <ioria> LobsterAttack, if you reboot you loose  1024x768   ?
[14:11] <LobsterAttack> ioria: no, but I lose modes I try to add in xrandr with --newmode & --addmode
[14:11] <LobsterAttack> ioria: I just want to lower the refresh rate from 61hz to 60
[14:11] <makaka> anyone?
[14:11] <LobsterAttack> ioria: resolution is fine now
[14:11] <ioria> LobsterAttack, ah, sorry know nothing about that :(
[14:14] <LobsterAttack> ioria: which of those identifier is which, do you know?
[14:15] <ioria> LobsterAttack, nope, sorry
[14:15] <LobsterAttack> ioira: ok, thanks again for all your help
[14:15] <ioria> LobsterAttack, keep asking here, someone will help you
[14:15] <boobloo> MonkeyDust, sorry and my question was is it possible to disable "lro" on ubuntu 15
[14:16] <TJ-> boobloo: "ethtool -k enp9s0 | grep offload" --- the features may not be configurable
[14:16] <TJ-> boobloo: replace the interface name with the correct one for your system, obviously
[14:16] <MonkeyDust> boobloo  frankly, i got stuck myself, when trying to install snort in a vm
[14:16] <boobloo> TJ- gotcha thanks let me try it out
[14:17] <boobloo> MonkeyDust, ya it can be a pretty annoying thing to configure and get everything working as you want
[14:17] <makaka> kiborg are you there?
[14:18] <Kiborg> makka: yes
[14:18] <Kiborg> Sorry trying something
[14:20] <motaka2> TJ-: akik https://www.dropbox.com/sh/jhxc2pvtb2zkevd/AAAQahPAeFkzA0Y_IMENmU6Qa?dl=0
[14:22] <Cinnamon1512> Hi guys, I hope Im contributing to the improvement of running Office 2013 with wine-(wrappers). This is not completely my work. I still hope you like it and if so upvote and contribute. Thx! https://redd.it/3ukrfh
[14:23] <akik> motaka2: that url comes back with "This folder is empty"
[14:23] <mcphail> Cinnamon1512: this is a support channel. Please do not spam here
[14:23] <Cinnamon1512> im not spamming
[14:23] <cfhowlett> errr, yeah you are .... so stop.
[14:23] <Cinnamon1512> this was meant to be a serious approach to spread some nice knowledge
[14:24] <MonkeyDust> Cinnamon1512  this is the support channel
[14:24] <Cinnamon1512> no im not :) thx. bye
[14:24] <TJ-> motaka2: looking, thanks
[14:25] <motaka2> TJ-: Yw
[14:25] <motaka2> akik: It is not empty
[14:26] <TJ-> motaka2: aha! you see the second block on the 1st image? /dev/mapper/nvidia_afeicaag5 ... that naming tells me that there's a disk taken from a motherboard that had an onboard Nvidia  'fake' RAID controller, and the disk was part of a RAID array
[14:27] <motaka2> TJ-: Yes, I have used  another hard drive in this case. What should I do ? It was working for a while
[14:28] <motaka2> TJ-: by another I dont mean two. I have just one hard drive that I took from another case to this case
[14:30] <TJ-> motaka2: right, but on the original PC the disk was connected to the nvidia 'fake' RAID controller and used to create a RAID-0 array using the single disk. That means the controller writes metadata to the underyling device and the 'RAID' array appears slightly smaller than the underlying disk.
[14:31] <motaka2> TJ-: :( I dont understand even a single word. But is there a solution ?
[14:36] <TJ-> motaka2: the output from 'parted -l' isn't very accurate, we need to redo it so I can see the actual sector start/end numbers. Use "parted /dev/sda unit s print" and photograph+upload again please
[14:37] <motaka2> TJ-: Could you please answer your pv ?
[14:39] <smacktalk> what's the best rdp client for connecting to windows boxes?
[14:39] <TJ-> motaka2: I have private messages disabled
[14:39] <Seveas> smacktalk: I like vinagre
[14:40] <motaka2> TJ-: ok wait
[14:40] <ptsh> hi
[14:40] <ptsh> exit
[14:45] <jophish__> sorry, my client bugged out a little; apologies if I've just sent this message:
[14:45] <motaka2> TJ-: Please cCheck that folder again
[14:45] <jophish__> I need to reinstall ubuntu but I have an encrypted home directory on the root partition which I'd like to keep
[14:45] <Sonderblade> any way to check if your ubuntu requires lvm or lvm?
[14:45] <jophish__> how easy is this to do?
[14:45] <Kiborg> Very
[14:45] <Kiborg> I just did it
[14:46] <Kiborg> Just make shure to use same user and password as now
[14:46] <mobile3> akik: are you there?
[14:46] <akik> mobile3: here
[14:47] <jophish__> Kiborg: that's it? cool!
[14:47] <Kiborg> jophish: make copyes of everything you neeed
[14:47] <TJ-> motaka2: looking
[14:47] <Kiborg> jophish: it can still go wrong
[14:48] <jophish__> Kiborg: yeah, it'a backed up anyway, but restoring things is always a pain
[14:48] <tomtomdrum> Can anyone help! I've already tried in the help channel but no one will respond. Ive an encrypted home drive, enabled autologin, started getting the error 'unable to update .iceauthority' I also have trouble mounting the home folder. when I try ecryptfs-mount-private it says error 'encrypted directory is not setup properly' I cannot login, i have to use ctrl+alt+f1 to get to the terminal and
[14:48] <tomtomdrum> try fix from there. any advice??
[14:48] <TJ-> motaka2: I only see the same original 3 photos there right now
[14:48] <mobile3> akik: I installed ubuntu desktop on server then tried to start it, startx , it gave me error, please see here http://pastebin.com/KzPZvNPc
[14:48] <Kiborg> jophish: But for me it worked, are you changing the partitioning?
[14:49] <akik> mobile3: x2go session is started through the x2go client. you don't need xorg to be running on the vps
[14:49] <TJ-> mobile3: start the desktop using "service lightdm start" or "systemctl start lightdm.service"
[14:49] <chinesesausage> hello TJ
[14:49] <mobile3> akik: so what to do?
[14:50] <akik> mobile3: install x2go server on the vps, install x2go client on your client machine, use x2go client to access the x2go server
[14:50] <motaka2> TJ-: Would you please refresh ?
[14:50] <mobile3> akik: I have not installed x2go, I only installed ubuntu desktop
[14:50] <chinesesausage> TJ do you know about Compton compositor?
[14:51] <mobile3> akik: so ubuntu desktop is not required?
[14:51] <TJ-> motaka2: It's magic! It's there now
[14:51] <motaka2> TJ-: :)
[14:51] <akik> mobile3: some desktop environment is needed, be it gnome/kde/mate etc.
[14:52] <mobile3> akik: but I installed ubuntu desktop
[14:52] <akik> mobile3: it might not support the desktops that need hw acceleration nowadays
[14:52] <mobile3> akik: so I need to remove ubuntu desktop?
[14:53] <Kiborg> Hello. I have Ubuntu 15.10 64 bit with Geforce GTX 970. I am using Nvidia propertary drivers form additional drivers. Until recently it has wokred like charm, but after the latest update I am unable to even log in, I get login loop.
[14:53] <akik> mobile3: hold on, i'll check if unity is supported
[14:54] <akik> mobile3: x2go client has an entry for both gnome and unity
[14:54] <TJ-> motaka2: OK, that is starting to confirm my hypothesis. The raw drive has 160,086,528 sectors (~80GiB) but the last partition ends at 150,055,594 - suggesting the RAID meta-data is using the final 30,934 sectors. Let's check that with another photo! "parted /dev/mapper/nvidia_afeicaag unit s print"
[14:54] <akik> does ubuntu desktop equal to unity, i don't know
[14:55] <RogerCreasy> #laravel
[14:56] <mobile3> akik: so I should install x2go server now without removing ubuntu server?
[14:57] <akik> mobile3: yes
[14:57] <akik> mobile3: there's an option in the windows x2go client that could help running the newer desktops but i'll tell you later if the usage is too slow
[14:58] <motaka2> TJ-: uploading ...
[14:58] <motaka2> TJ-: Pls check
[14:58] <akik> mobile3: of course you should install the desktop environment you're used to
[15:00] <blueberr_> join #java
[15:01] <motaka2> TJ-: Can you see it ?
[15:01] <TJ-> motaka2: that's good, you can see that this 'fake' RAID device is 2 sectors smaller than the raw device /dev/sda , this has 160,086,526 sectors
[15:02] <TJ-> motaka2: so, at least now we know precisely what is going on. Now to figure out the best way to work around it
[15:05] <TJ-> motaka2: OK, as for the 'parted' message "Can't have a partition outside the disk!" we can ignore that. That is a false error, due to parted trying to treat a file-system partition (partition 5 of the fakeRAID device) as a raw disk.
[15:06] <TJ-> motaka2: So, as I missed your description of the original fault, can you explain what happens at boot-time?
[15:06] <TJ-> oh drat! he lost the connection
[15:07] <motaka3> TJ-: I am here
[15:07] <akik> TJ-: his computer didn't boot but to the recovery mode, the file system was read only even with remount,rw
[15:07] <TJ-> motaka3: haha great
[15:07] <motaka3> TJ-: While starting ubuntu 12.04 after seeing the grub os selection page , I see the mouse pointer for a secons and then I see a black screen. I tried to load by editing the grub with nomodeset by pressing ctrl+e and then then changing it and then pressing ctrl+x
[15:07] <motaka3> but not only nothiing changed but also after the restart I see nomodeset is removed from the grub
[15:08] <TJ-> motaka3: firstly, edits to the GRUB menu done at boot-time only affect that boot - they aren't saved
[15:08] <TJ-> motaka3: so don't concern yourself on that point
[15:09] <motaka3> TJ-: So what should I do step by step to get my desktop back ?
[15:10] <TJ-> motaka3: akik so you have the root file-system which I am guessing right now is /dev/sda5 or /dev/mapper/nvidia_efeicaag5 , and you cannot make it read-write?
[15:10] <TJ-> motaka3: let's find out which 'device' is providing the root file-system: "mount | grep '/ ' "
[15:10] <newke> if i do apt-get autoremove are previously downloaded installation files still stored somewhere?
[15:11] <TJ-> newke: .deb files may still be in /var/cache/apt/archives/
[15:11] <newke> TJ-: thank you
[15:11] <newke> can i delete those .deb files?
[15:12] <TJ-> newke: it is possible to delete all archived .deb files with "apt-get clean"
[15:12] <newke> TJ-: thank you
[15:12] <zer0_> lol
[15:12] <motaka3> TJ-: uploading
[15:13] <_cb> If I am writing a program where there will be a large number of users but only fileA and FileB per user is it better to have a user folder and inside it File A and File B (many folders, few files per folder) or a FILE A folder, and a FILE B folder and inside a user file (Few Folders but many files per Folder) or it does not matter?
[15:13] <TJ-> motaka3: there should have only been one line from that command which you can just type here... you only need use photo upload/pastebin for lots of lines. Whilst you're stuck in Recovery with no network, we'll be lenient on that rule though :)
[15:13] <motaka3> TJ-: Please check
[15:15] <motaka3> TJ-: :)
[15:16] <TJ-> motaka3: ahhh, you got lots of lines because you didn't notice I had a space in the grep: '/ ' so it would only match that first line you see there. So, the root file-system is coming from the fake-RAID device
[15:17] <TJ-> motaka3: make sure you have the space this time and show us the result of "grep '/ ' /proc/mounts "
[15:17] <motaka3> TJ-: Sorry /dev/mapper/nvidia_afeicaag5 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
[15:18] <mobile3> akik: are you there ?
[15:18] <akik> mobile3: here
[15:18] <TJ-> motaka3: OK, and now show us what that last command gives you. it should be similar but not entirely the same
[15:19] <mobile3> akik: I installed it on server and also in windows. Now what to do ? How to connect ?
[15:19] <akik> mobile3: did you open the ssh port on the vps iptables?
[15:19] <mobile3> akik: how ?
[15:20] <akik> mobile3: do you use ufw to handle iptables?
[15:20] <mobile3> akik: I don't know what is ufw
[15:21] <mobile3> akik: I do not manage iptable, by default whatever is there is there
[15:21] <akik> mobile3: ok you can run "sudo ufw enable" and then "sudo ufw allow ssh/tcp" to open the ssh port
[15:21] <motaka2> TJ-: uploaded
[15:21] <mobile3> akik: -bash: ufw: command not found
[15:21] <sulin> sdf
[15:21] <akik> mobile3: i'm not sure what you mean by whatever is there. are you in control of the vps?
[15:21] <sulin> What's this?
[15:22] <mobile3> akik: I installed Webuzo control panel which do it
[15:22] <sulin> 这干啥的？
[15:23] <sulin> Xchat 是用来干什么的？
[15:23] <akik> mobile3: "dpkg -l | grep ufw" does that return a line about ufw ?
[15:23] <mobile3> akik: no result
[15:24] <sulin> ？
[15:24] <akik> mobile3: the other choice is that there are no ip filtering rules. you can check with "sudo iptables -L -n -v"
[15:24] <sulin> Is there someone tell me what's this for
[15:24] <akik> mobile3: which ubuntu version is installed there?
[15:24] <jackcom> how can i update ubuntu?
[15:24] <motaka2> TJ-: Are you there ?
[15:25] <TJ-> motaka2: OK, looking now. Just went off to get a coffee
[15:25] <jackcom> apt-get update?
[15:25] <sulin> apt-get update
[15:25] <mobile3> akik: Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 1813K packets, 2031M bytes)  pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination  Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)  pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination  Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 1437K packets, 1042M bytes)  pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination
[15:25] <motaka2> TJ-: Thank you
[15:25] <akik> mobile3: ok so you can access the server from anywhere?
[15:25] <sulin> Hello
[15:26] <TJ-> motaka2: OK, and that confirms the kernel is treating the root file-system as read-only (ro)
[15:26] <mobile3> akik: yes
[15:26] <mobile3> akik: DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS"
[15:26] <jackcom> how can i update ubuntu?
[15:27] <akik> mobile3: so just start up x2go client, there are a couple of pages to set it up
[15:27] <mobile3> akik: I have started it
[15:27] <zykotick9> jackcom: do you mean, get security updates or do you mean update to a new release of ubuntu?
[15:27] <TJ-> motaka2: first, let's try making it read-write with "mount --no-mtab -o remount,rw /"  then do "grep '/  ' /proc/mounts again and just tell me if it now shows it as 'rw' not 'ro'
[15:28] <jct500thz> Xfce has this stupid glitch that's happened  before... but I forgot how to fix it.
[15:28] <akik> mobile3: on the first page it asks for about the connection, hostname, username, desktop
[15:28] <akik> mobile3: those are for the vps server details
[15:28] <jct500thz> When I log out, and log back in later, it launches all the apps that I had up last time, but I don't want that.
[15:29] <jackcom> zykotick9: both
[15:29] <zykotick9> jackcom: pick one ;)
[15:29] <jct500thz> I want it to NOT use the last session that I had.
[15:29] <jct500thz> But it doesn't give me the option.
[15:29] <jct500thz> Is there like a Terminal command I can use instead?
[15:30] <mobile3> akik: there is session type, what should I give, unity ??
[15:30] <akik> mobile3: i guess "ubuntu-desktop" means unity. can someone confirm?
[15:30] <mobile3> akik: or gnome, kde
[15:30] <jackcom> first zykotick9
[15:30] <jct500thz> I want to disable the session-restore on Xubuntu
[15:30] <motaka2> TJ-: I hate linux
[15:30] <ikonia> akik: ubuntu-desktop is unity
[15:31] <_ha> .
[15:31] <TJ-> motaka2: I love it :) - can't do diagnosis like this on Windows :)
[15:31] <jct500thz> Whereas it doesn't give me an option anymore, I want to disable it anyway, because I don't want it.
[15:31] <ioria> jct500thz, take a look here maybe : http://askubuntu.com/questions/382331/xubuntu-reopens-last-session-applications-even-though-it-shouldnt
[15:31] <zykotick9> jackcom: to get security updates for your current install, one method - from terminal, is "sudo apt-get update" followed by "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade".  for the release-to-release updates... someone else should answer.
[15:32] <akik> mobile3: but it could be that this setup is not made with the 3d/hw acceleration in mind. so if your connection is too slow, you should install another desktop environment
[15:33] <motaka2> TJ-: :) I have uploaded the new result
[15:33] <mobile3> akik: I have good connection, do I need to start something on server like startx ?
[15:33] <akik> mobile3: no
[15:34] <TJ-> motaka2: OK, you see its now 'rw' ? So that worked
[15:34] <motaka2> TJ-: cool, what is the next step ?
[15:34] <jackcom> thanks zykotick9 :)
[15:35] <TJ-> motaka2: all of this tells us the root file-system is not damaged, so the main issue left to diagnose would seem to be the black screen when trying to log in as a user in the GUI, is that correct?
[15:35] <motaka2> TJ-: I dont even see the login page
[15:36] <mobile3> akik: I gave all the details, then password, now it is connected and again disconneced
[15:36] <akik> mobile3: on the tab connection, select wan and on the compression method: select 2m-png
[15:36] <TJ-> motaka2: At this point we need to get that PC on the network so you can pastebin some logs. Is that PC wired to a network, or does it rely on a wireless connection?
[15:36] <motaka2> TJ-: the graphic cards differ from the old case to the new. But as I told you untill not upgrading the packages it was working fine
[15:36] <akik> mobile3: are you able to login via ssh with these same credentials?
[15:37] <motaka2> TJ-: It is wired to a network
[15:37] <akik> :)
[15:37] <Guest75621> did ubuntu has a small one? i mean no desktop.
[15:37] <mobile3> akik: no my speed is not so fast, it is 128 Kilo Byte Per Second
[15:38] <mobile3> akik: should I select 256 jpeg?
[15:38] <akik> mobile3: i didn't ask about the speed but are you able to login from your client machine via ssh with these credentials?
[15:38] <akik> mobile3: the 2m means 2 million
[15:38] <_DB> hey guys I just installed ubuntu
[15:38] <akik> mobile3: it's about number of colours
[15:38] <MonkeyDust> _DB  great
[15:39] <_DB> my HDD recently died (windows 10 locked me out of it cant even access it on linux)
[15:39] <messy> hi
[15:39] <TJ-> motaka2: so in theory we might be able to bring up the network manually. First we need to know which interface is the wired interface, then we need to determine the correct method for making it active. Start off with "ifconfig -a" (don't photo the results, just analyse them yourself) and identify the wired network device - probably 'eth0'
[15:39] <_DB> im using a usb to run ubuntu, was wondering I have another usb thats empty, can I install programs into that?
[15:39] <_DB> or somehow use it so I have more space for software
[15:40] <TJ-> motaka2: then "cat /etc/network/interfaces" and check whether there are any entries in that file for the network device you identified. If there are not, that tells us that Network Manager is responsible for managing the devices
[15:40] <_DB> til i buy a new HDD or fix my other one
[15:41] <MonkeyDust> _DB  so you can't boot into ubuntu?
[15:41] <mobile3> akik: I am able to connect via same ssh details but it is not showing desktop, also it is getting disconnected after about 10 seconds
[15:41] <motaka2> TJ-: it is eth1
[15:42] <TJ-> motaka2: Good. Is there an entry for 'eth1' in the file  /etc/network/interfaces ?
[15:42] <akik> mobile3: what's is the error message at the disconnect stage ?
[15:42] <mrbrdo> hey guys. I have a /64 block of IPv6s and want to bind all of them to my ubuntu server. I only found instructions on how to add specific IPs but not how to add the whole range. Since these are billions of IPs, is there a way to add the whole range instead of individual IPs? Could someone point me in the right direction?
[15:42] <MonkeyDust> mrbrdo  try #ubuntu-server
[15:42] <mrbrdo> thanks
[15:42] <zykotick9> _DB: note, you could (with two usbs) do a real install from a liveusb to the other usb...  that would give you a little more control
[15:42] <Swish> mrbrdo, what do you mean "bind them" ?  You can't route all those IPs without them being in the routing table
[15:43] <motaka2> TJ-: the result is auto lo and on the second line iface lo inet loopback
[15:43] <Swish> erm.  If your machine is an endpoint for them, they all have to be listed explicitly, don't they?
[15:43] <mrbrdo> Swish: I mean so I can use them to make connections
[15:43] <mrbrdo> I don't need to open incoming ports though
[15:43] <TJ-> motaka2: OK, that means Network Manager handles the network devices. Do "initctl start network-manager" - hopefully you'll see messages indicating it has started
[15:43] <_DB> oh no i have a real install of ubuntu
[15:43] <_DB> its persistent
[15:44] <mobile3> akik: no message the desktop window is just going to start then closes and session is getting disconnected
[15:44] <Swish> mrbrdo, yeah.  As far as I know, you'd have to list each of them explicitly
[15:44] <jct500thz> I'm working on all the Ask Ubuntu answers that I
[15:44] <jct500thz> O
[15:44] <jct500thz> I'm reading over
[15:44] <akik> mobile3: you will find the logs in /tmp/.x2go-username/C-username* on the vps
[15:44] <zykotick9> _DB: ahhh, persistent Live != full install
[15:44] <_DB> i just need more storage space, my usb are both 8gns and unity editor is 3 gbs plus 1 gb for install package
[15:44] <_DB> which is why i need the other usb
[15:44] <_DB> I used the starup disk creator
[15:44] <_DB> ahh ok! lol
[15:45] <MonkeyDust> _DB  you didnt install ubuntu on your pc, but on a usb stick?
[15:45] <motaka2> TJ-: So many entries starting with modem manager [] could not get the system bus
[15:45] <_DB> wasnt aware persistent didnt mean full install XD
[15:45] <TJ-> mrbrdo: you'd configure a netfilters rule using ip6tables to redirect all connections to the IPv6 sub-net to a single IPv6 address on the network interface
[15:45] <mrbrdo> Swish: hm okay. so no way to route the whole range to the same if? I also saw something about an "AnyIP" feature but I don't understand it
[15:45] <_DB> yeah my HDD wasnt comaptible i have no idea what windows 10 did to it
[15:45] <akik> mobile3: not sure if it's easier to install for example lxde and try opening a lxde session in the x2go client
[15:45] <etronik> Hi all, I'm trying to run LongoMatch under Ubuntu 14.04 but it keeps complaining some codec is missing, just doesn't tell me which one. Anybody familiar with this and how to solve it ?
[15:45] <_DB> but i font want to format it since i hvae important files
[15:46] <mrbrdo> TJ-: that sounds like something that could work. so when I make a connection I can specify any IP from the range and the remote endpoint will see that IP?
[15:46] <TJ-> motaka2: ahhh, maybe we need to start DBus first! we're having to pretend to be the init system ourselves here. I think maybe we'd be better off actually restarting the PC in normal multi-user mode but telling it not to start the GUI.
[15:46] <Swish> Hey everyone, question about an out-of-memory kill that keeps happining on my ubuntu 14.04.3LTS desktop.  In /var/log/syslog I see the line "Unable to purge GPU memory due lock contention." right before it starts OOM-killing my vmware-vmx process.  This URL shows where that line is printed, but I am trying to figure out the cause (and if the i915 graphics driver is a red herring or related):
[15:46] <Swish> http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_shrinker.c
[15:46] <_DB> so i installed it onto my usbstick XD
[15:46] <Swish> mrbrdo, lemme google this AnyIP thing...
[15:46] <TJ-> mrbrdo: you'd have to have some connection tracking going on, effectively reverse-NAT
[15:46] <motaka2> TJ-: :)
[15:46] <TJ-> motaka2: so, hang on one moment whilst I describe what you need to do...
[15:47] <mrbrdo> TJ-: thanks I'll write this down and do some more reading
[15:47] <motaka2> TJ-: Is it dangerous to do this?  sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-*
[15:47] <__raven> how to disable usb autosuspend in 15.10
[15:48] <TJ-> motaka2: ... when the PC reboots get to the GRUB boot menu as you've done before (pressing Esc or holding down Ctrl - so long since I used 12.04 on bare-metal I can't remember which!) and then edit the default entry press navigating to it, pressing 'E' and then navigate to the line starting "linux ..." and add " text" then press Ctrl+X
[15:48] <mrbrdo> TJ-: btw AnyIP does sound like something that could be applicable here http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=ab79ad14a2d51e95f0ac3cef7cd116a57089ba82
[15:48] <TJ-> motaka2: right now, you might make more trouble than you solve doing that
[15:48] <sudo3> hi guys, i have webpage on my vps but when i connect to it, firewall is blocking me I guess, in ssh i can see error "connection refused" and when i wget localhost:80 it gives me same error, can anyone help?
[15:49] <Swish> mrbrdo, that's going to require you to recompile some things.  It's not a normal way to use the TCP/IP stack
[15:49] <trisquel> motaka2, "sudo apt-get purge" is shorter
[15:49] <_DB> sudo3 you wouldnt happen to be running lamp? or perhaps port is in use?
[15:49] <motaka2> TJ-: I am in the grub menu
[15:49] <trisquel> and does the same
[15:49] <mobile3> akik: I got this error unable to execute startlxde
[15:49] <mrbrdo> Swish: recompile system stuff or my user program? cause the latter I can do
[15:49] <TJ-> motaka2: OK, add that " text" to the kernel command-line, and boot
[15:50] <_DB> i had similiar problems was because port was in use by my pc
[15:50] <TJ-> mrbrdo: Yes, Any-IP will work best
[15:50] <Swish> route.c sounds like system stuff ;)
[15:50] <akik> mobile3: startlxde is from the package lxde-common
[15:50] <zykotick9> trisquel: and "sudo apt purge foo" is even shorter still ;)
[15:50] <motaka2> TJ-: What is kernel command line ?
[15:50] <trisquel> yeah, might work too
[15:51] <sudo3> hm lamp thx i will try that way
[15:51] <trisquel> i never used "apt" yet
[15:51] <mobile3> akik: so what to do? the error is shown in x2go client
[15:51] <k1l_> mobile3: why not just use the lightdm?
[15:51] <motaka2> TJ-: WHere should I add text
[15:51] <TJ-> Swish: no recompilation required; it's in the kernel
[15:51] <mobile3> k1l_: how?
[15:51] <mrbrdo> Swish: it seems after kernel v3.3 it should be possible just by specifying IP_FREEBIND on the socket when connecting
[15:51] <Swish> ahh okay :)
[15:51] <mrbrdo> I'll try it out but I think I have to upgrade the kernel first :)
[15:51] <akik> mobile3: did you install lxde by "sudo apt-get install lxde" ? it should've brought the right dependencies
[15:52] <TJ-> motaka2: you remember where you added the " nomodeset" parameter? you're doing the same thing now but with " text" instead
[15:52] <trisquel> zykotick9, leeched mint already?
[15:52] <motaka2> TJ-: so instead of nomodeset I should write text?
[15:52] <TJ-> motaka2: correct :)
[15:52] <motaka2> TJ-: Excuse my retardness!
[15:53] <TJ-> motaka2: hehehe ... I need another coffee too, trying to out-think your PC! brb
[15:53] <trisquel> ...retardEDness
[15:53] <__raven> how to disable usb autosuspend in 15.10
[15:53] <k1l_> mobile3: on ubuntu its best to start the *dm (like lightdm) and then just login there.
[15:53] <akik> k1l_: this is x2go server. there's no need for lightdm on the server
[15:53] <k1l_> urgs
[15:54] <MonkeyDust> __raven  is this useful http://askubuntu.com/questions/185274/how-can-i-disable-usb-autosuspend-for-a-specific-device
[15:54] <motaka2> TJ-: I dont see nomodeset or quitet splash in there any more
[15:55] <__raven> MonkeyDust: no thats related to laptop-mode tools
[15:56] <TJ-> motaka2: that's fine, they're not needed
[15:56] <MonkeyDust> __raven  then you should be more specific and start from the beginning ... keep it in one line, tho
[15:57] <motaka2> TJ-: so where should I write text? in the end ?
[15:58] <__raven> 15.10 disables this every time after 2 seconds without reactivating: "Bus 006 Device 005: ID 03eb:2104 Atmel Corp. AVR ISP mkII" how to stop that
[15:58] <mobile3> akik:k1l_: I am just performing "apt-get install lxde"
[16:00] <MonkeyDust> __raven  and define 'this'
[16:00] <motaka2> TJ-: I have uploaded an image too , in case needed
[16:00] <__raven> MonkeyDust: are you able to read and think about what you read?
[16:00] <__raven> but special for you...
[16:01] <__raven> 15.10 disables this every time after 2 seconds without reactivating: "Bus 006 Device 005: ID 03eb:2104 Atmel Corp. AVR ISP mkII" how to stop that autosuspend and how to make it work again

[16:07] <Hund> me*

[16:09] <TJ-> motaka2: at the end of the line that starts "linux ..."
[16:09] <zykotick9> manornk: alsamixer
[16:09] <motaka2> TJ-: I saw ro and added that and then ctrl+x
[16:09] <TJ-> motaka2: great, so now you should have a console log-in
[16:09] <manornk> zykotick9: I want to do it automaticlly, not to check it manually
[16:09] <motaka2> TJ-: Yes
[16:09] <motaka2> TJ-: I should login as root ?
[16:10] <trisquel> +pavucontrol, manornk
[16:10] <zykotick9> manornk: ok, good luck then.  /me has nothin'
[16:10] <manornk> trisquel: Will check it
[16:10] <TJ-> motaka2: no, log-in as your regular user
[16:10] <akik> manornk: you might be able to use amixer to do that
[16:11] <trisquel> pavucontrol is pulseaudio
[16:11] <trisquel> one level higher than alsa
[16:12] <motaka2> TJ-: Ok I am in
[16:12] <manornk> akik: and how can i use it?
[16:12] <TJ-> motaka2: now check there's network connectivity: "ping -c 5 www.ubuntu.com"
[16:14] <motaka2> TJ-: 5 packages transmitted 4 lost
[16:14] <motaka2> TJ-: sorry 4 recived
[16:15] <TJ-> motaka2: OK, that lost 1 might be due to the delay in forwarding. Try the command again, it ought to manage to get replies for all 5 pings
[16:15] <mobile3> akik: are you there ?
[16:15] <motaka2> TJ-: I believe some thing is wrong with graphic card. Maybe not the right packages installed
[16:15] <akik> mobile3: still here :)
[16:15] <TJ-> motaka2: if that is correct we can paste some log files
[16:16] <motaka2> TJ-: now 5 recieved
[16:16] <TJ-> motaka2: first add a package to make pasting simple: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit"
[16:16] <akik> manornk: "amixer set Master mute"
[16:16] <mobile3> akik: I installed lxde and it get connected, Now I am able to view desktop
[16:16] <akik> mobile3: great!
[16:16] <mobile3> akik: Now tell me how to open firefox, I am not able see icons, or any tab
[16:17] <motaka2> TJ-: installing
[16:17] <akik> mobile3: if you need a desktop environment with more features, i'd suggest kde
[16:17] <TJ-> motaka2: hopefully not long now :) with network and pastebinit we can fly
[16:17] <cyber37> Hey guy's, did someone use the tftp tool provided by ubuntu ?
[16:17] <akik> mobile3: there should be a menu in the bottom left corner, maximize the session
[16:17] <mobile3> akik: I right clicked, then from icon , I got trash and documents
[16:17] <motaka2> TJ-: there is an error
[16:18] <TJ-> motaka2: uhoh!
[16:18] <cyber37> according to the man http://linux.die.net/man/1/tftp normaly we are able to send or get a file directly in command line without having to go in the tftp prompt
[16:18] <cyber37> But maybe in my version the -c option isn't implemented
[16:18] <cyber37> I have the version from apt-get
[16:18] <motaka2> TJ-: you have to configure "localepurge" with command ...
[16:18] <mobile3> akik: I maximaze it, now showing, tell me how to install chrome or firefox?
[16:18] <cyber37> i can do : tftp 192.168.1.1 -c put myfile
[16:19] <cyber37> tftp 192.168.1.1 -c "put myfile"
[16:19] <cyber37> doesn't work
[16:19] <TJ-> motaka2: try "sudo apt-get -f install"
[16:19] <cyber37> i also tryed with tftp -c ... 192.168.1.1
[16:19] <akik> mobile3: the way to install more programs is the same way as on your local machine "sudo apt-get install firefox"
[16:19] <akik> mobile3: for chrome you need to go to http://chrome.google.com/ i think it's not in the repositories
[16:20] <ioria> cyber37, i use tftp  for pxe diskless boot , not for common file transfert.....
[16:20] <akik> mobile3: i think there is some compatibility problem with x2go and unity. we can try adding that one flag in the x2go client settings
[16:21] <mobile3> akik: but for that I need some browser, I clicked on chromium web browser but it is not opening
[16:21] <ioria> cyber37, you can use vsftpd or sftp
[16:21] <motaka2> TJ-: By a mistake I ran sudo apt-get autoremove, have destroyed everything ?
[16:21] <akik> mobile3: you can open a terminal and install firefox from there
[16:21] <cyber37> hum i need to use tftp protocol
[16:21] <TJ-> motaka2: hopefully not; that removes packages no longer listed as being required by any other package
[16:22] <cyber37> I don't understand why the software "tftp" is not correct with "tftp" man page ..
[16:22] <Aruzsi> He there,
[16:22] <Aruzsi> Please help me solve this apt-get dependencies:
[16:22] <Aruzsi> http://pastebin.com/gVSS58iN
[16:22] <motaka2> TJ-: I think pastebinit is intalled
[16:23] <TJ-> motaka2: "pastebinit <( uname -a; cat /etc/issue; lspci -nnk )"
[16:23] <akik> mobile3: one special thing about x2go is that you can close the x2go client window and the session is left running on the server
[16:23] <mobile3> akik: so whenever I will connect , it will open from there only ?
[16:24] <akik> mobile3: yes the disconnected session will be re-opened as you left it
[16:24] <ioria> cyber37, did you edit  /etc/default/tftpd-hpa  ?
[16:25] <mobile3> akik: I got this error, when tried to install firefox from command line http://pastebin.com/TniqxkVe
[16:25] <mystupidnick> i have a problem booting ubuntu, when i get to the login screen the usb keyboard and mouse doesnt work
[16:25] <mystupidnick> any idea on if there are some kernel params i can add to make it work?
[16:25] <TJ-> cyber37: "tftp -h" will tell you what options are available to the client
[16:25] <motaka2> TJ-: lspci-nnk command not found
[16:25] <TJ-> motaka2:  there's a space before the -
[16:26] <cyber37> mathieu@mathieu-fixe-ubuntu:~/workspace/stm32f4_board_2$ tftp -h
[16:26] <cyber37> -h: unknown host
[16:26] <cyber37> tftp>
[16:26] <TJ-> cyber37: what ubuntu release os that?
[16:26] <cyber37> You understand the problem ? my tftp installed on ubuntu go directly in the PROMPT of TFTP
[16:26] <cyber37> it doesn't accept "commands" *
[16:26] <motaka2> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13544310
[16:26] <cyber37> And i don't undestand WHY
[16:26] <cyber37> i am in 14.XX
[16:27] <TJ-> cyber37: "which tftp" and "dpkg -D $(which tftp)" will tell you
[16:27] <akik> mobile3: how did you change to the root account?
[16:27] <TJ-> motaka2: great, thanks, reading now
[16:27] <cyber37> /usr/bin/tftp
[16:27] <motaka2> TJ-: Thank you :)
[16:28] <mobile3> akik: I uses root account always
[16:28] <TJ-> motaka2: ok, the 'lspci' shows us the GPU is an Nvidia GeForce 6200, using the 'nviida' driver
[16:28] <akik> mobile3: the path in that session is not set correctly
[16:28] <TJ-> motaka2: now do "pastebinit <( ls  -latr /var/log/ )"
[16:28] <akik> mobile3: btw. don't use root account always
[16:28] <jackcom> apt-get cach ?
[16:29] <jackcom> apt-get cache
[16:29] <jackcom> ?
[16:29] <akik> mobile3: "echo $PATH" should return something like "/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"
[16:29] <jasabella> hi :)
[16:29] <jackcom>  Invalid operation cache
[16:29] <cyber37> TJ- the -D option isn't working (need octal number to debug ? wtf ? )
[16:29] <TJ-> jackcom: what? do you mean "apt-cache <some commands>" ?
[16:29] <jackcom> yes TJ-
[16:29] <motaka2> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13544350
[16:29] <jackcom> search
[16:30] <cyber37> But i  don't find where i can download source of the REAL tftp software (not the one provided by ubuntu ..)
[16:30] <jackcom> apt-get cache program
[16:30] <mobile3> akik: any problem using root account? Okay will talk on this later... How to change to correct directory?
[16:30] <TJ-> cyber37: which package supplied /usr/bin/tftp according to "dpkg -S " ?
[16:30] <jackcom> TJ-:
[16:30] <mobile3> akik: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/b
[16:30] <zykotick9> jackcom: what are you trying to do?
[16:30] <TJ-> jackcom: why are you typing "apt-get cache" rather than "apt-cache" ?
[16:30] <MonkeyDust> cyber37  i installed tftp in a vm ... when you see the prompt, type ? to see the possible commands
[16:31] <jackcom> apt-get cache
[16:31] <cyber37> mathieu@mathieu-fixe-ubuntu:~/workspace/stm32f4_board_2$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/tftp
[16:31] <cyber37> tftp: /usr/bin/tftp
[16:31] <zykotick9> jackcom: there is no "apt-get cache" command!
[16:31] <cyber37> MonkeyDust i understand that
[16:31] <SchrodingersScat> jackcom: you want apt-cache search name.*orPHrase  ; apt-cache is its own command
[16:31] <cyber37> MonkeyDust, i want to use TFTP commands without going in the prompt
[16:31] <cyber37> Like as they said in the MAN
[16:31] <akik> mobile3: you should normally use your non-privileged account. then if you need to run commands which require root access, use sudo. if you need to change to the root account for many successive commands, you can use sudo -i
[16:31] <TJ-> cyber37: that explains it! You should have used "apt-get install tftp-hpa"
[16:32] <cyber37> MonkeyDust can you try it : "tftp 192.168.1.1 -c get foobar" ? please ?
[16:32] <mobile3> akik: from next onwards I will do so... how to change to correct path ?
[16:32] <SchrodingersScat> jackcom: then you can also use apt-cache show packageName to show more details about individual packages
[16:33] <cyber37> TJ- I don't understand how you see that, but yes i have it installed
[16:33] <akik> mobile3: if you use sudo -i from your non-privileged account, you can probably see the correct path with "echo $PATH"
[16:33] <TJ-> cyber37: there are 2 packages that provide /usr/bin/tftp (client), one is 'tftp' the other, better, is 'tfpt-hpa' (hpa = H. Peter Anvin, the legendary Intel core tools developer (responsible for syslinux etc., too)
[16:33] <cyber37> But sudo apt-get install tftp too .
[16:33] <jackcom> apt-cache search python-numpy
[16:33] <jackcom> right?
[16:34] <SchrodingersScat> jackcom: yep, that brings up some python packages
[16:34] <ioria> !info tftpd-hpa
[16:34] <jackcom> thanks SchrodingersScat
[16:34] <cyber37> TJ- Maybe thegood one is the HPA because it's the name of the guy in the MAN PAGE
[16:34] <SchrodingersScat> jackcom: welcome
[16:34] <jackcom> :)
[16:34] <TJ-> cyber37: if you have tftp-hpa also installed that suggests the update-alternatives for /usr/bin/tftp is set to the one from the 'tftp' package. Do "ls -l /usr/bin/tftp*" and you should see all the executables, and be able to directly use the 'hpa' version
[16:34] <TJ-> cyber37: correct :)
[16:35] <TJ-> cyber37: I'd bet /usr/bin/tftp is a sum-link to /etc/alternatives/
[16:35] <motaka2> TJ-: Did you noticed I sent the new link? in case not here it is:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/13544350/
[16:35] <akik> mobile3: the path is set in /etc/environment
[16:35] <TJ-> motaka2: no, i didn't; thanks for reminding me :)
[16:36] <motaka2> TJ-: Thank you
[16:37] <cyber37> TJ- I need to reboot i come back.
[16:37] <TJ-> motaka2: hehehe is the time on that system jumped forward to 2016? check with "date" to be sure - those last 4 files in /var/log/ have unusual timestamps
[16:38] <motaka2> TJ-: I really dont know what happened
[16:38] <TJ-> motaka2: "date" and check it says 2015
[16:38] <TJ-> motaka2: it won't hurt too much but it affects how we read the log files, and which ones we pick
[16:38] <motaka2> TJ-: It is 2015
[16:39] <mobile3> akik: I got this using account other than root -- /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/
[16:39] <TJ-> motaka2: OK, at some point the time jumped forward a day to 29th November then
[16:40] <TJ-> motaka2: your local time now is around 19:40 or so?
[16:40] <akik> mobile3: what's in /etc/environment ?
[16:40] <motaka2> TJ-: it is 20:10, I am in Iran
[16:41] <TJ-> motaka2: ok, you have a 1/2 hour in your timezone difference. Thanks, that helps me figure out what I'm seeing
[16:41] <mobile3> akik: cd /etc/environment or vi /etc/environment ?
[16:41] <akik> mobile3: i think you have changed something somewhere as you have the root directory / in your path
[16:41] <motaka2> TJ-: Yeah that's right +3:30

[16:41] <akik> mobile3: /etc/environment is a text file, one line. you can cat /etc/environment
[16:42] <TJ-> motaka2: so according to what I see, the last time you tried to start the GUI was around 19:23 ?
[16:42] <motaka2> TJ-: :) I really dont know, maybe
[16:42] <mobile3> akik: PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/game
[16:42] <TJ-> motaka2: OK, well let's assume that, because it points to the file I need to see. "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log"
[16:43] <akik> mobile3: that line is not complete
[16:43] <mobile3> akik: what to do ?
[16:44] <motaka2> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13544533/
[16:44] <akik> mobile3: edit it so that it ends with :/usr/local/games"
[16:44] <LobsterAttack> Despite having all the listed dependencies installed I can't seem to get Darf Fortress Lazy Newb Pack running... Anyone know about it?
[16:44] <jasabella> does mini install the lts version or whatever's latest? i.e. 15.10?
[16:44] <motaka2> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13544533/
[16:44] <TJ-> motaka2: that looks good. now "pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" please
[16:45] <mobile3> akik: do I have to add this at the end of line :/usr/local/games ?
[16:45] <Delta706> Can anyone suggest a free VM provider? I have tried virtualbox but it requires a setting for 64-bit which I cannot enable
[16:45] <ikonia> Delta706: what do you mean requires a 64bit setting ?
[16:45] <akik> mobile3: so that the line ends with a "
[16:45] <ioria> jasabella, yes, if downloaded the wily iso https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[16:45] <Delta706> vt-x a bios setting
[16:45] <ikonia> Delta706: thats nothing to do with virtual box
[16:46] <ikonia> Delta706: thats the hypervisor in general wanting to use virtualization options on your chip
[16:46] <mobile3> akik: didn't understand
[16:46] <akik> mobile3: you're missing a " at the end of the line
[16:46] <Delta706> it is a requirement for vbox
[16:46] <motaka2> TJ-:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/13544563
[16:47] <ioria> jasabella, but 15.10 it's not lts
[16:47] <mobile3> akik: sorry I missed copying it , but it is actually there PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games"
[16:47] <ikonia> Delta706: you're going to be running in software mode without it,
[16:47] <TJ-> motaka2: right, so far so good! now "pastebinit $HOME/.xsession-errors"
[16:47] <ikonia> which will be very slow
[16:48] <akik> mobile3: when you login to your vps with ssh with your non-privileged account, run "echo $PATH", then "sudo -i", then run a "echo $PATH" again. something has messed your path up
[16:48] <Delta706> as long as it is not too slow, this is fine with me
[16:48] <motaka2> TJ-:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/13544605/
[16:48] <mascot66991> hey Guys I migrated from 15..04 to 15.10 and I used to be allowed to increase volume above 100 from top menubar control now I can reach till 100 after which i need to right click and go to setting and increase further.. is this known.. can i change somethin to be able to chane above 100 directly without opening settings each time ?
[16:49] <ikonia> Delta706: it will be too slow
[16:49] <ikonia> Delta706: thats why the virtual machine hypervisors depend on it
[16:49] <zykotick9> ikonia: i believe Delta706 is trying to install a 64bit guest VM, and i do think VBox requires vt-x to do that... 32bit should be fine.
[16:49] <motaka2> I am hungry
[16:49] <Delta706> How many times slower would it be? 10 times, 100?
[16:49] <ikonia> zykotick9: the docs suggest it's 64bit only, but reading the general hypervisor documentation, he's going to struggle without it full stop
[16:49] <jasabella> ooohh ok, there's different one
[16:49] <jasabella> s
[16:49] <TJ-> motaka2: finally we have some clues, at the end of that last log file
[16:50] <motaka2> TJ-: greate
[16:50] <ikonia> certainly try it with a 32bit VM, see how it goes
[16:50] <Delta706> zykotick9: 32-bit is limited to 4 gigs
[16:50] <ikonia> Delta706: this is silly
[16:50] <ikonia> you're VM needs more than 4GB of ram - so it obviously has some performance requirements
[16:50] <zykotick9> Delta706: true, but are you really giving your VM more then 4GB?
[16:51] <ikonia> so then not using hwardware hypervisor support on the chip, does matter
[16:52] <Delta706> yes
[16:52] <ikonia> Delta706: what are you trying to run on this VM
[16:52] <ikonia> lets get some context
[16:52] <TJ-> motaka2: is there a mix of Gnome and KDE on that PC?
[16:52] <mobile3> akik: I got this when run sudo -i  softfile is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported
[16:54] <mascot66991> hey Guys I migrated from 15..04 to 15.10 and I used to be allowed to increase volume above 100 from top menubar control now I can reach till 100 after which i need to right click and go to setting and increase further.. is this known.. can i change somethin to be able to chane above 100 directly without opening settings each time ?.
[16:54] <Kiborg> Hello. I have Ubuntu 15.10 64 bit with Geforce GTX 970. I am using Nvidia propertary drivers form additional drivers. Until recently it has wokred like charm, but after the latest update I am unable to even log in, I get login loop.
[16:54] <akik> mobile3: add your non-privileged account to the sudo group, then try again
[16:55] <jasabella> select and install software fails for some reason hmmm
[16:55] <MonkeyDust> jasabella  what's the output of   cat /etc/issue
[16:56] <akik> mobile3: this channel expects you to run ubuntu as it's designed
[16:56] <JuanDaugherty> i wonder why they removed the apache imagemap module?
[16:57] <TJ-> motaka2: the log-file has a suggestion to run "sudo sh -c 'pango-querymodules > /etc/pango/pango.modules' "  to fix a configuration error
[16:57] <mystupidnick> can anyone tell me what kernel driver is required for nic Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411?
[16:57] <motaka2> TJ-: :D I dont think so, but because it was slow , I installed something like unity 2d if I rember well
[16:57] <jasabella> nothing there, i went into /var/log/syslog
[16:57] <jasabella> pkgsel failed with code 100
[16:57] <ikonia> jasabella: please show us the output of "cat /etc/issue" in a patebin
[16:58] <ikonia> pastebin
[16:58] <JuanDaugherty> mystupidnick, you can see it in the kernel config menus
[16:58] <motaka2> TJ-: Should I run that ?
[16:58] <ikonia> as motaka2 asked
[16:58] <TJ-> motaka2: Yes
[16:58] <ikonia> or MonkeyDust even
[16:58] <mystupidnick> JuanDaugherty: i cant run that
[16:58] <jasabella> no such file, i'm installing into vmware :)
[16:58] <ikonia> jasabella: that means nothing
[16:58] <ikonia> jasabella: a vmware install would have the same as a physical install
[16:59] <jasabella> it's a fresh install, i've dropped down to shell in the install program
[16:59] <mobile3> akik: I got this with non-root   /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games
[16:59] <ikonia> jasabella: please show the output of the command "cat /etc/issue"
[16:59] <ikonia> (use a pastebin)
[16:59] <mobile3> akik : I got this with root   /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
[16:59] <akik> mobile3: ok, now apt-get should work
[16:59] <TJ-> motaka2: then you can try starting the GUI and logging in. If that fails, we'll again look at the new log files to look for more certain failure indications. To start the GUI do "sudo service lightdm start"
[16:59] <jasabella> no such flie or directory

[17:00] <jophish__> How can I reinstall ubuntu without it trying to "reinstall previously installed applicationa"
[17:00] <ikonia> jasabella: re-install, your ubuntu install is missing basic files
[17:00] <ioria> jasabella, how did you do the iso ?
[17:00] <mobile3> akik : which account should I use ? root or non-root ?
[17:00] <akik> non-root with sudo and root without sudo
[17:01] <jasabella> i just used the mini.iso file straight off ubuntu's servers
[17:01] <jasabella> md5sum checks out
[17:01] <jophish__> I have something very wrong with my ubuntu installation, and the reinstaller just puts me right back into that state I think
[17:01] <ikonia> why are you using the mini iso and not a standard install ?
[17:02] <jasabella> 'expert mode' in standard install does autonetwork configuration which i dont want
[17:02] <ikonia> jasabella: what configuration does it not do ?
[17:02] <motaka2> TJ-: It gives two errors, do you need them ?
[17:02] <jasabella> i want to set a static ip address
[17:02] <ikonia> jasabella: you can do that in the standard install
[17:02] <ikonia> you do not need the mini iso for that
[17:02] <ioria> jasabella, and what's the problem ?
[17:03] <TJ-> motaka2: is "it" the "pango-querymodules" command?
[17:03] <ikonia> jasabella: please do a standard install
[17:03] <jasabella> i've instatlled an (older) version of ubuntu before and things are weird
[17:03] <motaka2> TJ-: the secon one yes , says not found
[17:03] <ikonia> not interested in an older version
[17:03] <ikonia> jasabella: please install a standard current ubuntu install
[17:03] <ioria> jasabella, which one ?
[17:03] <mobile3> akik: I got, Thank Thank Very Much!!
[17:03] <TJ-> motaka2: hmm, ok, lets leave that for now then. Move on to starting the GUI
[17:04] <jasabella> 12.04 lts, expert mode, i know what i'm doing (of sorts)
[17:04] <TJ-> motaka2: do "sudo service lightdm start"
[17:04] <jasabella> i just want a minimal server
[17:04] <akik> mobile3: i hope you haven't enabled root logins through ssh...
[17:04] <ioria> jasabella, so ubuntu-server
[17:04] <ikonia> jasabella: so install the standard server install
[17:04] <mobile3> akik: I am using non-root account now
[17:04] <ioria> jasabella, you can select software in there too
[17:05] <jasabella> i dont want any software apart from the base system
[17:05] <ioria> jasabella, anyway, the mini should work....
[17:05] <ikonia> jasabella: use a standard ubuntu install
[17:05] <ikonia> jasabella: it's clear you're not really sure what you're doing
[17:05] <jasabella> i just want to hit no so hopefully it cleans things up
[17:05] <akik> mobile3: let's change that one setting in the x2go client
[17:05] <ikonia> a standard ubuntu server install is good enough for %90 of the community
[17:05] <jasabella> it's downloaded things
[17:05] <ikonia> it should meet your needs just fine
[17:06] <motaka2> TJ-: just a black page
[17:06] <jasabella> can ubuntu server (minimum) run on 256mb of ram?
[17:06] <TJ-> motaka2: OK ... now press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get back to the text console and we'll investigate the logs
[17:06] <ikonia> jasabella: yes
[17:06] <mobile3> akik: yes tell me
[17:06] <ikonia> jasabella: and to be honest - if it can't, the mini wouldn't either
[17:07] <ioria> jasabella, i installed on a hp nc6000 ....
[17:07] <akik> mobile3: go to options/settings/x.org server settings, click on use custom x-server, then click the button on the executable: line at the right
[17:07] <motaka2> TJ-: it seems  it doesnt go anywhere
[17:07] <jasabella> i'm gonna skip that and go straight to putting on a bootloader
[17:07] <ikonia> jasabella: please stop ignoring advice
[17:07] <ikonia> jasabella: please do a STANDARD ubuntu server install
[17:07] <TJ-> motaka2: did the original system that hard disk came from have 2 monitors?
[17:07] <akik> mobile3: then browse to "C:/Program Files (x86)/x2goclient/VcXsrv/vcxsrv.exe"
[17:07] <motaka2> TJ-: no
[17:08] <jasabella> what's the difference between them?
[17:08] <ikonia> jasabella: one will work and be stable, the other will be a mess you create
[17:09] <jasabella> i'll be responsible for my own mess then :D or go back to debian heh
[17:09] <ikonia> jasabella: clearly not as your in this channel with total lack of understanding and asking for help
[17:09] <akik> mobile3: then add -wgl to the command line options on the next line
[17:09] <TJ-> motaka2: OK, you've got a Samsung Syncmaster connected to the VGA output, is that correct?
[17:09] <jasabella> i dont know how your install program works, for some reason it jumps around
[17:10] <akik> mobile3: you need to close the x2go client and start it again for this setting to come active
[17:10] <ikonia> jasabella: use the STANDARD ubuntu server install
[17:10] <ikonia> jasabella: and people can guide you if there is anything unclear
[17:10] <jasabella> i do, i select expert mode and it auto configures everything
[17:10] <ikonia> jasabella: no it doesn't
[17:10] <motaka2> TJ-: Sumsung syncmaster 920N , with a cable like other monitors connecting to graphic card
[17:10] <jasabella> incl. netowrk
[17:10] <MonkeyDust> jasabella  you could have avoided all this, if you installed standard ubuntu server
[17:11] <ikonia> lost interest now
[17:11] <jasabella> i wish i could screencast something
[17:11] <jasabella> and show you want happensw hen i start expert install
[17:11] <TJ-> motaka2: I'm making sure there's no config inherited from the last PC the hard disk was in, to cause this. So far I've seen no evidence of that which is good
[17:12] <mobile3> akik: done, what is the benefit of doing this ?
[17:12] <akik> mobile3: this was needed if you run the x2go client from a linux client and a windows client and want to connect to the same disconnected session
[17:13] <akik> mobile3: it could also help if the unity session did not start before
[17:13] <akik> mobile3: can you try starting up the unity session again?
[17:13] <motaka2> TJ-: As I told you this system with the new hard was working fine till It started to do some updates and then asked me to restart and then it ended to that bloody black page
[17:14] <mobile3> akik: Ya sure!
[17:14] <TJ-> motaka2: I did notice mention in the Xorg.0.log that the current output resolution is 1280x1024, but another suggestion that it was expecting 1280x720 - does that sound like the current monitor (128x1024) and the monitor of the previous PC (1280x720) ?
[17:14] <FreakErn> is it possible to create a bridge in interfaces using for example eth0 and the host can still use eth0 for network and internet? when i create br0 the server has no network and internet. maybe someone can help me with this?
[17:14] <FastZ> I have been studying for the Linux+ exam and plan to take it by the end of the year. Does anyone here know of a good practice exam online that I can take before actually sitting for the exam?
[17:15] <motaka2> TJ-: Both systems were using the same monitor, I disconnect one to connect it to other, I just have one monitor
[17:16] <TJ-> motaka2: Strange. OK, anyhow. right now it is still showing a black screen? Is the monitor still actively receiving a signal (should be showing a green LED) or has it gone into standby mode (often the LED will flash, or show orange) ?
[17:16] <MonkeyDust> FastZ  #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:17] <TJ-> motaka2: I think what we need to do now is to configure that PC to have openssh-server installed and running, so you can connect to it over the network from the PC you're using for IRC. That way it doesn't matter if the screen goes black, we can actually look at the logs and figure out what state it is in
[17:17] <TJ-> motaka2: is your IRC PC also using Linux?
[17:18] <jasabella> so i select my keyboard in the server iso file and it configures my entire network for me
[17:18] <jasabella> doesnt ask me for a domain name, just a hostname
[17:18] <mobile3> akik: I tried unity, it get connected, the desktop window opened and closed as like before and it get disconnected
[17:18] <jasabella> asks me for a user name now
[17:19] <akik> mobile3: look into the /tmp/.x2go-username/C-* session file
[17:20] <mobile3> akik: where? from terminal?
[17:20] <motaka2> TJ-: Sorry, It is not a pc, it is laptop running windows vista
[17:21] <akik> mobile3: yes. there's also a .xsession-x2go-errors file in your $HOME
[17:21] <MonkeyDust> motaka2  so it's a laptop pc
[17:21] <akik> mobile3: if you can pastebin those, we might be able to find the reason why it doesn't work
[17:21] <TJ-> motaka2: OK, you'd need to install and use the Windows SSH client Putty
[17:22] <BluesKaj> as opposed to a desktop pc I reckon :-)
[17:22] <motaka2> TJ-: I think I have putty, lemme check
[17:22] <akik> mobile3: my guess is that unity expects those 3d acceleration properties that are not there in x2go
[17:22] <TJ-> motaka2: can you remember if the Ubuntu PC already has openssh-server installed? If it does, it should be listening for connections right now and we can avoid having to put it through a reboot
[17:22] <mobile3> akik: well in the x2go clients, some logs are showing can I paste that ?
[17:22] <akik> mobile3: sure, put them into pastebin
[17:23] <motaka2> TJ-: I dont remeber installing such a thing on it
[17:23] <motaka2> TJ-: Cant I do something with LIVE DVD ?
[17:24] <TJ-> motaka2: OK, to save us messing about then, reboot the Ubuntu PC, goto the GRUB boot menu as before, add the " text" again and boot it to the text console. Then we can find out the PC's IP address (which you'll need to connect to it from Putty) and install the openssh-server package
[17:24] <motaka2> TJ-: ok
[17:25] <akik> mobile3: i think gnome shell with some kind of fallback still exists when you don't have 3d acceleration
[17:25] <motaka2> TJ-: I dont have putty on windows let me installl it
[17:26] <zykotick9> akik: ahhh, i'm not sure fallback exists in gnome anymore...
[17:26] <akik> zykotick9: so no way to run either gnome or unity without 3d acceleration anymore?
[17:27] <motaka2> TJ-: :D I wonder why life  is so difficult
[17:27] <zykotick9> akik: i'm not sure.  so don't take my word for it!
[17:27] <TJ-> motaka2: it's a learning experience :)
[17:27] <TJ-> motaka2: I think the cause is something very simple, but without remote access, diagnosing these things using IRC and pastebins takes about 100x longer than it would
[17:28] <motaka2> TJ-: :) ok
[17:29] <akik> mobile3: kde still works with x2go. you can install it with "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop"
[17:29] <motaka2> TJ-: I have putty from 2012 can I install that ?
[17:29] <motaka2> TJ-: or I need a fresh version ?
[17:29] <TJ-> motaka2: yes, SSH is SSH it doesn't change that much... as long as Windows doesn't complain :)
[17:30] <motaka2> TJ-: ok it is running, how can I find the IP ?
[17:31] <linocisco> hi all,
[17:32] <linocisco> I need to access one forum which has banned our country IP, which is the most secure and fastest way to access it? some suggested VPN, I dont know which is better for faster access
[17:32] <TJ-> motaka2: the Ubuntu PC you mean? you've logged in to the text console?
[17:33] <mobile3> akik: http://pastebin.com/BHZFVRaM
[17:33] <TJ-> motaka2: "ifconfig eth1" will tell you the IP address (I seem to recall the network was on eth1)
[17:33] <motaka2> TJ-: Yes I have logged
[17:33] <WaynesKaffe> Hello folks! my cpu-indicator (unity indicator) has stop scaling the cpu. It's on powersave mode all time since 2 days ago.
[17:34] <TJ-> motaka2: make a note of the Ubuntu IP address ready for Putty,  and then do "sudo apt-get install openssh-server"
[17:34] <heb12> did anyone know ,how to access the su password
[17:34] <motaka2> TJ-: inet addr: 192.168.1.100 ? is that it ?
[17:34] <akik> mobile3: that doesn't tell me anything. you might change the settings in the client connection tab from adsl to wan and 2m-png as the colour mode
[17:34] <akik> mobile3: the error from unity might be in $HOME/.xsession-x2go-errors
[17:35] <TJ-> motaka2: Yes. On Putty you can be creating a connection with that as the hostname/IP address, and put your Ubuntu PC username as the connection username. I've not use Putty in 10 years so you'll have to figure out the connection settings yourself :)
[17:36] <TJ-> motaka2: after 'openssh-server' is installed it will auto-start. Then you can try connecting from Putty, and make sure that is working nicely
[17:36] <TJ-> motaka2: It will also mean you can copy/paste commands to, and links from, pastebinit rather than having to type them
[17:36] <motaka2> TJ-: :( I have putty and I gave it the IP but I dont know where to put the username?
[17:37] <TJ-> motaka2: I can't help you there; as i recall there's a connection edit tab/dialog with fields for each
[17:37] <mobile3> akik: I run using non-root -bash: /root/.xsession-x2go-errors: Permission denied also using root account -bash: /root/.xsession-x2go-errors: Permission denied
[17:37] <akik> mobile3: oh ok. i checked the page at http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:de-compat unity is not any more compatible with x2go since ubuntu 12.10
[17:37] <akik> mobile3: please don't login to x2go session with the root account
[17:38] <TJ-> motaka2: this page seems to show how to do it: http://www.windowstipspage.com/configure-putty-connection-manager/
[17:38] <akik> mobile3: and disable root logins in your sshd
[17:38] <mobile3> akik: when it didn't work in non root so I changed to root
[17:38] <mobile3> akik: so should I remove ubuntu desktop ?
[17:39] <jasabella> that's not putty per se :/
[17:39] <akik> mobile3: sorry i have to leave but it's good that you got the desktop working from the server
[17:39] <jasabella> that's putty cm
[17:39] <jasabella> once you are connected, unless your server is configured to take key auth only, it wll prompt you for user name and password
[17:39] <motaka2> TJ-: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mz8nyov80foy9ec/Untitled.jpg?dl=0
[17:39] <mobile3> akik: should I remove ubuntu desktop ?
[17:39] <mystupidnick> now i know how i borked my system. i removed the dkms package
[17:40] <akik> mobile3: no, you can have many desktop environments installed at a time
[17:40] <mystupidnick> there is no warning anywhere that that package is absolutely essential...
[17:40] <akik> mobile3: i would be more worried about those root logins
[17:40] <jasabella> aptitude why dkms is your friend :)
[17:40] <linuzo> Anyone here have an idea how to change the audio driver in ubuntu 15.04 ??  I want to use another driver because currently my subwoofer doesn't work with this one but on  Linux Mint 17.2 it uses the Lynx Point HD Audio driver and works. So I'm assuming if I update the driver it should work on my current machine Lenovo Y50 - 2015
[17:40] <mobile3> akik: ha ha, I will take care of that from now on... Thank You Very Much!!
[17:41] <MonkeyDust> linuzo  ask in the Mint channel, it's not supported here
[17:41] <linuzo> I'm using Ubuntu
[17:41] <TJ-> motaka2: Put the IP address in the "HostName (or IP address) text-box, then in the left-side tab, select the "SSH" tab, and you ought to be able to add a username.
[17:42] <MonkeyDust> linuzo  what's the output of   cat /etc/issue
[17:42] <jasabella> does ubuntu use /etc/issue as some obscure logging file?
[17:42] <linuzo> your server is configured to take key auth only, it wll prompt you for user name and password

[17:42] <linuzo> Ubuntu 15.04 \n \l
[17:44] <linuzo> I just want to know where there is some documentation where I can force another driver to be used by alsa or pulseaudio
[17:44] <linocisco> I need to access one forum which has banned our country IP, which is the most secure and fastest way to access it? some suggested VPN, I dont know which is better for faster access
[17:44] <zykotick9> linuzo: note, at the "driver" level, it's just an alsa issue...
[17:46] <FreakErn> can someone help me, i have some trouble creating a network bridge?
[17:46] <motaka2> TJ-: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pbierdox2g3u3jl/Puuty.jpg?dl=0
[17:47] <jasabella> motaka... it's under Auth iirc
[17:47] <TJ-> motaka2: explore; I suspect the "Auth" entry under "SSH" in the sidebar might be the place
[17:48] <FreakErn> i created a network bridge like in the german wiki but after that my host is not reacheable from network and the host has no internet
[17:48] <jasabella> connection > data if you want to put user name
[17:48] <jasabella> (auth is for keys)
[17:49] <linuzo> yeah ok thanks anyways..   this channel sucks these days..  bunch of newbies in here not even helpful anymore..
[17:49] <linuzo> 10 years ago this place was more helpful..

[17:53] <moody> help
[17:53] <MonkeyDust> moody  start with a question
[17:53] <moody> tor not work
[17:54] <TUB4LC41N> do anyone speak portuguese?
[17:55] <ikonia> !br | TUB4LC41N
[17:56] <TJ-> motaka2: putty shouldn't need A/V disabling. What "doesn't work"? Do you mean you've added the connection details correctly but connection is refused/fails, or that it connects but authentication fails?
[17:56] <jasabella> maybe firewall *cough*
[17:56] <mobile3> leaving!!
[17:56] <MonkeyDust> moody  "The  #tor channel is at irc.oftc.net."
[17:57] <motaka2> TJ-: no the putty program. when I double click on it windows says puTTY should be closed because of a problem
[17:58] <TJ-> motaka2: I'm not sure about that, seems like a Windows specific issue. The original PuTTY you started was running OK?
[17:58] <motaka2> TJ-: Yes
[17:59] <TJ-> motaka2: I found another PuTTY connection tutorial, it says the username is added under the Connection>Data sidebar, in the "Auto-login username" field
[18:00] <jasabella> TJ-... that's what i was telling you :)

[18:04] <TJ-> motaka2: I can't help you with that I'm afraid; maybe read what the "View problem details" says for clues.
[18:05] <TUB4LC41N> sorry, I tiped in the wrong channel
[18:05] <TJ-> motaka2: the important thing here is to get a remote connection the Ubuntu PC so when the screen goes black we can actively investigate, rather than try to reconstruct events from log files that may not capture the issue - especially if as far as the system is concerned it is running fine and its not aware you can't see its output

[18:10] <TJ-> motaka2: another Linux PC with ssh
[18:11] <jasabella> what's motaka trying to do?
[18:12] <TJ-> jasabella: we need an ssh connection to a 12.04 desktop that goes black-screen when logged in, the GUI session is running but the output is blank. No clues in the logs of a failing X server, so we need to check it whilst it is 'live'
[18:12] <motaka2> TJ-: I am trying to install kitty
[18:12] <TJ-> motaka2: OK, anything that can do SSH sessions from Windows
[18:12] <jasabella> did you try going to to another terminal?
[18:13] <jasabella> Ctrl+Alt+F1 on the machine
[18:13] <shay> can anyone tell me the proper procedures for reaver...??
[18:13] <TJ-> jasabella: yes, 1st thing we did. Nothing
[18:13] <TJ-> motaka2: my responses may be delayed because I'l repairing a motherboard here
[18:14] <jasabella> motaka is your ssh server set to use certificates only or can you login with passwords?
[18:15] <host> hi

[18:19] <blunder> Quit
[18:20] <jzeolla> Ugh.  Anyone here proficient with preseed and disk mgmt?
[18:20] <jzeolla> My partman stuff doesn't error out but I'm not sure if it's doing what I expect.  After the install and reboot I get "error: no such partition" in grub and it throws me to grub rescue.
[18:21] <jwtiyar> why my files become read-only ?
[18:21] <Rafibd01717> I want to delete Vim completely from my machine. How can I do so?
[18:22] <MonkeyDust> Rafibd01717  try sudo apt purge vim
[18:22] <Rafibd01717> MonkeyDust I did it
[18:22] <shay> MonkeyDust: plz tell me the proper procedures for reaver...
[18:23] <Rafibd01717> but I still can open vim from terminal using vim command
[18:23] <MonkeyDust> shay  what's reaver?
[18:23] <jasabella> Rafibd01717... which fim
[18:23] <jasabella> which vim
[18:23] <zykotick9> MonkeyDust: wireless cracking software
[18:23] <Rafibd01717> usr/bin/vim
[18:23] <jasabella> is it a symbolic link?
[18:24] <jasabella> file $(which vim)
[18:24] <Rafibd01717> but I cant remove the file from their as when I right click on the icon I don't see any remove option
[18:24] <MonkeyDust> shay  not sure why you're addressing me, ask the channel
[18:24] <shay> MonkeyDust: brute force attack on wifi protected systems
[18:25] <zykotick9> Rafibd01717: i'd suggest against manually deleting files!  that'll lead to tears.  also, removing vi(m) seems strange - why?
[18:25] <jasabella> i'm wondering if it's to do with alternates system
[18:25] <MonkeyDust> shay  nice to know
[18:25] <jzeolla> shay what are you looking to do?
[18:25] <jasabella> if it is a link, readlink -f $(which vim)
[18:25] <jzeolla> Just break WPS?
[18:25] <jasabella> maybe it's the alias provided by the alternatives system
[18:25] <zykotick9> jzeolla: cracking/"hacking" software is offtopic in #ubuntu
[18:26] <Rafibd01717> I tried to install vundle and some other plugins
[18:26] <Rafibd01717> but it seems I messed everything
[18:26] <Rafibd01717> so I want to completely remove vim and then reinstall a fresh copy of it
[18:26] <Rafibd01717> after it I want to try the plugins again
[18:27] <zykotick9> Rafibd01717: instead of the windows uninstall/reinstall... i'd suggest you check the setting in your home directory.  best of luck regardless.
[18:27] <shay> ok my mistake,i shouldn't have asked it here...
[18:27] <jzeolla> zykotick9 Well, I don't know enough about what he's doing to know if it's Ubuntu-specific or not.
[18:28] <jzeolla> zykotick9 Regardless, I would love to chat about some preseed per my previous comment
[18:28] <zykotick9> jzeolla: all i'm saying, is don't provide support for reaver here, regardless of cause.
[18:28] <jwtiyar> system suddenly goes to read-only system , any help?
[18:28] <jasabella> Rafibd01717... so is it a symbolic link or an actual binary?
[18:28] <Rafibd01717> so nobody actually know how to completely uninstall vim from ubuntu?
[18:28] <ikonia> Rafibd01717: why do you want to do this ?
[18:28] <jzeolla> shay Try #Kali-linux
[18:28] <jasabella> *sigh*
[18:28] <Rafibd01717> symbolic link
[18:28] <jasabella> symblic link
[18:28] <jasabella> hah
[18:29] <jasabella> so readlink -f and see where i'ts going
[18:29] <jasabella> or ls -al
[18:29] <Rafibd01717> jasabella you recommend me to remove the dir/file manually?
[18:29] <jasabella> no
[18:29] <ikonia> Rafibd01717: why do you want to remove vim /
[18:29] <jasabella> it's probably a link provided by the alternatives system
[18:29] <Rafibd01717> ikonia: I explained it buddy
[18:30] <jasabella> it's nto the actual program
[18:30] <ikonia> Rafibd01717: I've not seen any explination
[18:30] <zykotick9> Rafibd01717: be careful!  you're probably messing with the "alternatives" system!  vi is a posix requirement, so some form of vi(m) _is_ required on your system.  "sudo apt-get purge vim" is the most complete uninstall of vim you can do.  vim-tiny is still going to be installed though.
[18:30] <jasabella> it's debian/ubuntu's way of makig it easier to configure your system to have multiple packages do the same thing
[18:30] <jasabella> (in this case, provide a text editor)
[18:30] <zykotick9> Rafibd01717: again, it's the setting in your home directory you should be worried about.
[18:30] <jasabella> so where is the link  going?
[18:30] <Rafibd01717> well I actually did sudo apt... thing.
[18:31] <Rafibd01717> still I see vim is installed
[18:31] <ikonia> why do you want to remove vim
[18:31] <jasabella> Rafibd01717... do you know what a symbolic link is?
[18:31] <jasabella> it's like a shortcut on windows or an alias on the mac
[18:31] <Rafibd01717> jasebella: no
[18:31] <jasabella> it isnt the actual program
[18:31] <zykotick9> Rafibd01717: ubuntu-desktop metapacke is going to keep vim-tiny (which is vi really) installed on your system!
[18:31] <jasabella> it just sits there to "assist" programs which want to start vim when vim isnt installed
[18:32] <jasabella> chances are it points to nano or something simple like that
[18:32] <johnmarcogb1998> hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys BBEBDCB318AD50EC6865090613B00F1FD2C19886
[18:32] <jasabella> you need a text editor on your system
[18:32] <jasabella> paste this  : readlink -f $(which vim)
[18:32] <zykotick9> ^ actually is there a lower level metapackage with ubuntu?  ubuntu-base or something?  cause then vim-tiny would be there instead.
[18:32] <ikonia> what is the purpose of removing vim ?
[18:32] <badbodh> ubuntu-minimal
[18:32] <jasabella> they don tsupport ubuntu minimal in here apparently, i tried earlier :P
[18:33] <ikonia> ubuntu minimal is supported
[18:33] <zykotick9> ikonia: Rafibd01717 is trying to uninstall/reinstall to fix something...  i don't think it's a good idea
[18:33] <ikonia> removing vim won't fix a problem
[18:33] <badbodh> no the metapckage, contains vim-tiny
[18:33] <jasabella> Rafibd01717... did you do that command?
[18:33] <ikonia> Rafibd01717: why do you want to remove vim
[18:33] <ikonia> lets find out what's going on here
[18:33] <badbodh> agreed
 I want to delete Vim completely from my machine. How can I do so? ikonia
[18:34] <ikonia> but WHY
[18:34] <jasabella> dpkg -l | grep vim
[18:34] <jasabella> see if it's stil installed or something
[18:35] <badbodh> only two packages contain vim : vim and vim-tiny
[18:36] <mystupidnick> it seems like the driver r8169 is missing from my kernel, what do i need to do to rebuild the kernel/initrd so it is included?
[18:38] <MrSpock> mystupidnick: you might want to try the out of tree 8168 instead, depending on just what card you have
[18:38] <MrSpock> I doubt that your kernel is missing that module though
[18:39] <mystupidnick> it is because lsmod doesn't list it
[18:39] <ikonia> lsmod shows what's loaded
[18:39] <ikonia> not what's in the kernel
[18:39] <mystupidnick> find doesnt find it either
[18:40] <mystupidnick> the module *is* missing
[18:40] <ikonia> is it supposed to be included
[18:40] <ikonia> or does it come from an external vendor
[18:40] <mystupidnick> included
[18:41] <badbodh> mystupidnick, check in /etc/modprobe.d for any blacklist files, if one of them contains r8169 module won;t be loaded
[18:41] <ikonia> then it will be included in your system
[18:41] <ikonia> ubuntu does not remove modules
[18:42] <badbodh> once you make sure it;s not blacklisted you may "sudo modprobe r8169" to force start
[18:42] <motaka2> TJ-: Now I can run putty and after running it by giving it address and username it says network error connection refused
[18:42] <badbodh> also add r8169 in /etc/modules to auto-load it every boot
[18:43] <mystupidnick> badbodh: it's not blacklisted and modprobe r8169 says the module isn't found
[18:43] <the_count> Bashing-om: Ok... I'm going to install 15.10 today, How would be the bast way to make a complete restorable backup of 14.04 that I have now?
[18:44] <mystupidnick> when im booting from a live cd, the r8169 module is loaded fine so in this case ubuntu has stripped it from the kernel
[18:44] <badbodh> mystupidnick, run "lspci -k" and share output on pastebin.
[18:44] <TJ-> motaka2: That's good. You've got a text console in use on the Ubuntu PC?
[18:45] <motaka2> TJ-: As you said before? Yes
[18:45] <mystupidnick> badbodh: the nic is listed: lscpi -k -> 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor ...
[18:45] <badbodh> i don;t want ... reply, gimme whole pastebin :/
[18:46] <the_count> How is the best way to create a restorable backup of Ubuntu ~80gb in size total to a portable Hard drive.
[18:46] <mystupidnick> badbodh: i can't since i have no network on that computer
[18:46] <Bashing-om> the_count: My means .. is I only backup/restore my personal files .. After all, all system files are on the install .
[18:46] <badbodh> mystupidnick, you got a pen drive ? copy/paste on a text file
[18:46] <TJ-> motaka2: check the sshd service is running: "service ssh status"
[18:47] <motaka2> is this the next step in ubuntu?  sudo apt-get install openssh-server openssh-client
[18:47] <badbodh> mystupidnick, are you chatting on a phone or a pc right now ?
[18:47] <motaka2> TJ-: unrecognized service
[18:48] <mystupidnick> badbodh: computer.
[18:48] <the_count> Bashing-om: Yes.. Ok.. How do I make a full backup of my home directory? as well as my PATH variables. Everything including rsa keys in there, etc...
[18:49] <badbodh> mystupidnick, never mind. just tell me what does it say for "Kernel driver in use" and "Kernel module"
[18:49] <TJ-> motaka2: you did install it earlier, didn't you?
[18:49] <TJ-> motaka2: "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" ?
[18:49] <motaka2> TJ-: no i dont think so
[18:50] <mystupidnick> badbodh: it doesnt say that line at all.
[18:50] <badbodh> hmm
[18:50] <Bashing-om> the_count: Investiage ' man rsync ' If your home dirtectory is "large" .
[18:52] <TJ-> motaka2: that'd explain it not working then :) install it, then check it runs with "service ssh status", assuming that says "ssh start/running, process XXXX" then try a PuTTY connection
[18:52] <badbodh> mystupidnick, run "modprobe --list *8169* " does it list anything ?
[18:52] <akik> mystupidnick: you could try reinstalling the linux-image-extra package. r8169.ko comes from that package
[18:53] <motaka2> TJ-: ssh start/running in progress 4848
[18:53] <akik> mystupidnick: you can verify the installed package with dpkg -V linux-image-extra (needs your version number)
[18:54] <mystupidnick> akik: yes that package is missing
[18:54] <motaka2> TJ-: logged in ssh :)
[18:55] <jgcampbell300> hello, is  this a help channel
[18:55] <jubo2> jgcampbell300: yeah
[18:55] <Bashing-om> jgcampbell300: A help channel for 'buntu, yes .
[18:56] <jgcampbell300> Got an issue here, Cant for the life of me figure out how to enable usb headset. it shows up but is disabled
[18:58] <jgcampbell300>     sudo apt-get install pavucontrol && sudo apt-get install paprefs still nothing ... seems like i had this problem before but for the life of me cant remember what the solution was
[18:59] <motaka2> TJ-: :) You are there?
[18:59] <TJ-> motaka2: Yay! party-time :D ... OK, in the SSH session do "sudo service lightdm start", then on the Ubuntu PC at the GUI greeter do the log-in. tell me when the screen has gone black
[18:59] <MonkeyDust> jgcampbell300  "for the life of me" ... not too dramatic, it's only a headset
[18:59] <badbodh> akik, he doesn;t have network. needs to download the debs using second computer
[19:00] <mystupidnick> akik: that solved it thanks
[19:00] <ioria> jgcampbell300, cat /proc/asound/cards
[19:00] <akik> badbodh: ok
[19:00] <jgcampbell300> MonkeyDust: lol
[19:00] <SCHAAP137> anyone else have the mouse cursor forcibly moving towards the top left @ Postal 2 in Steam for Linux?
[19:01] <badbodh> !cookies | akik
[19:01] <motaka2> TJ-: I did sudo service lightdm start  and now the ubuntu is in that black page, but I dont understand  "then on the Ubuntu PC at the GUI greeter do the log-in. tell me when the screen has gone black"
[19:01] <akik> thanks :)
[19:01] <mystupidnick> i had previously removed the linux-image-extra package, i think apt-get should give you some kind of warning
[19:02] <badbodh> you can run a system without it, not a dependency or something
[19:02] <badbodh> so apt won;t bother
[19:02] <TJ-> motaka2: OK, don't worry, i just wanted you to get the GUI to start so it goes black.
[19:02] <TJ-> motaka2: On the Putty terminal, do "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log"
[19:02] <motaka2> TJ-: :) ok
[19:03] <mystupidnick> badbodh: but without the drivers in that package your hw won't work
[19:04] <motaka2> TJ-: is there a way to copy from putty terminal
[19:04] <motaka2> ?
[19:04] <TJ-> motaka2: I have no idea! try it :)
[19:04] <motaka2> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13546655/
[19:04] <akik> motaka2: you just paint the text and it puts the text in the clipboard
[19:04] <badbodh> mystupidnick, to that aptitude would say "not my bloody job" , apt resolves deps. that's it. everything else is your call :)
[19:04] <motaka2> akik: thx
[19:05] <TJ-> motaka2: right, that confirms the X server is still running. Now do "pastebinit <( xrandr -q )"

[19:06] <Rafibd01717> hi
[19:06] <Rafibd01717> I see this message when trying to install vim
[19:06] <Rafibd01717> no terminal library found
[19:06] <Rafibd01717> checking for tgetent()... configure: error: NOT FOUND!
[19:06] <Rafibd01717>       You need to install a terminal library; for example ncurses.
[19:06] <Rafibd01717>       Or specify the name of the library with --with-tlib.
[19:06] <Rafibd01717> make: *** [auto/config.mk] Error 1
[19:06] <mystupidnick> badbodh: im saying it should be a dependency on ubuntu-minimal or ubuntu-desktop.
[19:06] <mystupidnick> badbodh: otherwise you can't know that removing linux-headers-* is fine but linux-image-extra-* is not
[19:07] <jgcampbell300> wow that was easy .. just restarted and headphones enabled
[19:07] <Rafibd01717> sorry guys.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/13546722/
[19:07] <TJ-> motaka2: sorry, I wasn't paying full attention!  "pastebinit <( xrandr --display :0.0 -q )"
[19:07] <Rafibd01717> please see this link
[19:07] <badbodh> mystupidnick, headers for compiling stuff, image/image extra for kernel/modules. next time don't randomly remove things, google first
[19:08] <MonkeyDust> jgcampbell300  see... no need to be dramatic
[19:08] <Rafibd01717> actually it says me to install a terminal library. I think installing a terminal library will fix the problem
[19:08] <jgcampbell300> MonkeyDust: Sorry
[19:08] <badbodh> if a package is installed, there is a good reason behind it. if you need elaborate warnings, switch to arch linux. pacman does that quite often
[19:08] <Rafibd01717> but how can I instally a terminal library?
[19:09] <ioria> Rafibd01717, you're installing vim or compiling it ?
[19:09] <Rafibd01717> installing
[19:09] <akik> Rafibd01717: you should make it clear that you're compiling from source vs. installing pre-built packages
[19:09] <motaka2> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13546763/
[19:09] <mystupidnick> badbodh: i did, the links indicates the package is non-essential which is wrong
[19:10] <Rafibd01717> well I did add vim from git using git clone URL
[19:10] <Rafibd01717> is it enough? or I need to cd into src and then make too?
[19:11] <badbodh> mystupidnick, problem solved. learn from it. move on.
[19:11] <Rafibd01717> and what is the latest version of vim?
[19:11] <ioria> !info vim | Rafibd01717
[19:11] <TJ-> motaka2: drat, the commands were different back on 12.04! Do "pastebinit <( xrandr -display :0.0 -q )"

[19:13] <badbodh> you sure it's 0.0 and not just :0 ?
[19:13] <jgcampbell300> can anyone tell me where the default settings for clock are stored
[19:13] <TJ-> badbodh: shouldn't make a difference, but yes, that was what I was about to suggest
[19:13] <parzival> http://downloads.khinsider.com/u?=1256972
[19:14] <TJ-> motaka2: try this: "xrandr -display :0 -q" ... do you get output other than the usage help?
[19:14] <badbodh> just run "xrandr" and check if it's 0,1,2.... you need
[19:14] <TJ-> badbodh: this is on a remote ssh connection
[19:14] <badbodh> oh
[19:14] <motaka2> TJ-: donkarlo@mohammad-desktop:/$ xrandr -display :0 -q

[19:15] <TJ-> motaka2: hmmm, ok let's check the X server is running: "ps -efly | grep X"
[19:15] <akik> maybe you need the xauth cookies
[19:15] <TJ-> akik: logged in as the same user as GUI, but possible. Best make sure the X server is still alive first

[19:16] <lotuspsychje> Rafibd01717: whats up
[19:17] <MonkeyDust> motaka2  next, use a pastebin
[19:17] <Rafibd01717> I uninstalled mongodb according to the given instruction in mongodb doc
[19:17] <Rafibd01717> but I see this when I try to do sudo apt-get update
[19:17] <Rafibd01717> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13546921/
[19:17] <motaka2> MonkeyDust: ok sorry
[19:18] <Rafibd01717> what is the problem and how can I solve it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/13546921/
[19:18] <lotuspsychje> Rafibd01717: did you add ppa's to install mongodb?
[19:19] <Rafibd01717> no
[19:19] <Rafibd01717> direct installation from git repo
[19:19] <lotuspsychje> Rafibd01717: why didnt you install it from official repos?
[19:19] <lotuspsychje> !info mongodb | Rafibd01717
[19:19] <Rafibd01717> I don't know
[19:19] <ioria> ^_?
[19:19] <MonkeyDust> Rafibd01717  sudo apt install mongodb
[19:20] <lotuspsychje> Rafibd01717: try to see your sources, to see if any ppa slipped in
[19:20] <motaka2> TJ-: did you see the result
[19:21] <lotuspsychje> !sources | Rafibd01717
[19:21] <ispirto> so what distro is systemd free, comes with gnome, debian based, comes with kernel 4.x
[19:21] <lotuspsychje> ispirto: you joined an ubuntu support channel here mate
[19:21] <Rafibd01717> lotuspsychje: I am not sure what are you talking about
[19:22] <Rafibd01717> ubottu: sorry?
[19:22] <Rafibd01717> ubottu: hehehe
[19:22] <ispirto> i know lotuspsychje
[19:22] <ispirto> wanted to see if someone knows about a distro like that
[19:23] <Rafibd01717> ubottu: actually I was talking to you and you pm me
[19:23] <lotuspsychje> ispirto: and its offtopic here,as you joined an ubuntu support channel
[19:23] <the_count> Rafibd01717: It really is a bot
[19:23] <Rafibd01717> lotuspsychje: I need to use !source to see what?
[19:24] <lotuspsychje> Rafibd01717: check your sources.list, to see if a non-official ppa slipped in your system
[19:24] <lotuspsychje> Rafibd01717: if it does, you will have to remove the ppa first
[19:24] <Rafibd01717> !sources is the command for seeing only mongodb ppas?
[19:25] <TJ-> motaka2: yes... can you do "pastebinit <( ps -efly )" so we can see all the running processes
[19:25] <lotuspsychje> Rafibd01717: read the webpage above; scroll up

[19:33] <madmanwithabox> Hi, can anyone help me?
[19:33] <SchrodingersScat> !ask | madmanwithabox
[19:33] <madmanwithabox> I am looking for an alternative to glasswire, it's a bandwidth monitor for Windows only
[19:33] <madmanwithabox> sorry
[19:34] <madmanwithabox> !patience
[19:35] <MonkeyDust> madmanwithabox  is this useful http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-monitoring-tools-for-ubuntu-users.html
[19:36] <TJ-> motaka2: OK, that explains it. The X server is running but not logged in as the user, it should be showing the greeter login
[19:36] <sruli> what's the best tool to recover partition (i would prefer no liveCD, its not bootable partition)
[19:36] <Rafibd01717> how can I see which PPA I am using for a specific software?
[19:36] <Rafibd01717> any terminal command?
[19:36] <motaka2> TJ-: on ubuntu I just see a black page
[19:36] <EriC^^> Rafibd01717: apt-cache policy <package>
[19:36] <TJ-> motaka2: so, we need to focus on the Display Manager log-files got lightdm. "pastebinit <( ls -latr /var/log/lightdm/ )"
[19:36] <lotuspsychje> sruli: get data back?
[19:37] <motaka2> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13547304/
[19:37] <lotuspsychje> hey EriC^^ :p
[19:37] <TJ-> motaka2: right, but it is *supposed* to be showing the greeter - because no user session processes are running. So now we know where to focus our investigation
[19:37] <EriC^^> hey lotuspsychje
[19:38] <TJ-> motaka2: "pastebinit <( sudo tail -n 1000 /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log )"
[19:38] <sruli> lotuspsychje: i want to recover a luks partition, i mistakenly wrote to the wrong drive with dd, but cancelled after a second
[19:39] <madmanwithabox> MonkeyDust: Thanks for the reply. I found an app called iptraf, it looks great, but I have a eth0 connection. I can't see a eth0 interface
[19:39] <Rafibd01717> EriC^^, I just see this mongodb:
[19:39] <Rafibd01717>   Installed: (none)
[19:39] <Rafibd01717>   Candidate: 1:2.4.9-1ubuntu2

[19:39] <Rafibd01717>         500 http://bd.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe i386 Packages
[19:39] <MonkeyDust> Rafibd01717  next time, use pastebin
[19:39] <EriC^^> Rafibd01717: maybe you have the package name wrong?
[19:39] <motaka2> TJ-: putty crashed, I had to restart it, should I do anything else?
[19:40] <sruli> lotuspsychje: as its a luks drive data recovery wont bew poss, i need to recover full drive first
[19:40] <EriC^^> it says you dont have it installed
[19:40] <TJ-> motaka2: "pastebinit <( sudo tail -n 1000 /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log )"
[19:40] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: he installed it via git
[19:40] <ioria> madmanwithabox, did you start it with sudo ?
[19:41] <Rafibd01717> EriC^^, but surely something is there
[19:41] <motaka2> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13547385/
[19:41] <madmanwithabox> ioria yes I did
[19:41] <ioria> madmanwithabox, all interfaces ?
[19:41] <EriC^^> Rafibd01717: how did you install it?
[19:41] <Rafibd01717> I see update command try to fetch some data for mongodb
[19:41] <madmanwithabox> ioria yes
[19:41] <Rafibd01717> as far as I can remember via git
[19:42] <ioria> madmanwithabox, at the end of the line , don't you see  ethX ?
[19:42] <madmanwithabox> ioria nope
[19:42] <ioria> madmanwithabox, under iface
[19:42] <Rafibd01717> EriC^^, you can see this http://paste.ubuntu.com/13546921/
[19:43] <TJ-> motaka2: you don't know the password for the user?
[19:43] <motaka2> TJ-: I know, but those are created automatically
[19:43] <EriC^^> Rafibd01717: what are you trying to achieve?
[19:43] <TJ-> sruli: if you've over-written the luks header, the data is gone
[19:44] <madmanwithabox> ioria what? I have a menu which says: IP traffic monitor, general interface statistics, detailed interface statistics, statistical breakdown, LAN station monitor
[19:44] <TJ-> motaka2: the first user account created should be a member of the 'sudo' group
[19:44] <sruli> TJ-: are you sure its not possible to recover full partiton?
[19:44] <Rafibd01717> EriC^^, I want to completely remove MongoDB ppa
[19:44] <motaka2> TJ-: I think donkarlo is
[19:44] <madmanwithabox> ioria here's what it looks like if I choose IP traffic monitor http://postimg.org/image/k6xnv8rsz/
[19:44] <Rafibd01717> and then fresh install it from official repo
[19:44] <ioria> madmanwithabox, IP traffic monitor
[19:44] <EriC^^> !ppapurge Rafibd01717
[19:44] <TJ-> sruli: i don't know what you mean by "full partition" - a partition is just an entry in the Partition Table
[19:44] <EriC^^> !ppa-purge Rafibd01717
[19:44] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: |
[19:44] <EriC^^> !ppapurge | Rafibd01717
[19:44] <motaka2> TJ-: but thos logins are done without asking me
[19:44] <TJ-> motaka2: the sudo password being requested is that user's own password
[19:45] <Rafibd01717> but which ppa?
[19:45] <Rafibd01717> I cant remember the ppa name
[19:45] <TJ-> motaka2: you mean donkarlo has auto-login set?
[19:45] <Rafibd01717> here is the problem EriC^^
[19:45] <TJ-> motaka2: "pastebinit <( groups )" please
[19:45] <motaka2> TJ-: no when I run what you gave me , it automaytically trys to login three times and then putty hangs
[19:46] <madmanwithabox> ioria yes, I just sent an image of what it looks like http://postimg.org/image/k6xnv8rsz/
[19:46] <motaka2> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13547455/
[19:46] <TJ-> motaka2: oh! OK, do "sudo ls /" just to get the sudo credentials working first
[19:46] <ioria> madmanwithabox, ifconfig ?
[19:46] <TJ-> motaka2: then redo  "pastebinit <( sudo tail -n 1000 /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log )"
[19:47] <EriC^^> Rafibd01717: i think ppa-purge can take the link as the argument, it might work
[19:47] <motaka2> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13547464/
[19:47] <TJ-> motaka2: 'sudo' credentials are usually cached for about 10 minutes incase you want to use it again, without needing to re-enter the password constantly
[19:47] <motaka2> TJ-:  ah ok
[19:47] <Rafibd01717> so what would be the full command? EriC^^
[19:47] <madmanwithabox> ioria here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13547475/
[19:47] <TJ-> motaka2: ahhh, that's better, a decent log file. I may be lost in it reading for a minute or two :)
[19:48] <the_count> Bashing-om: Seems as if rsync is taking longer than i should
[19:48] <Rafibd01717> sudo ppa-purge some_link?
[19:48] <madmanwithabox> ioria Oh ya, I have MAC filtering as well
[19:48] <motaka2> TJ-: thank you
[19:48] <EriC^^> other than that i dont know how you could find out, without a lot of work
[19:48] <Rafibd01717> but what link is it?
[19:48] <EriC^^> Rafibd01717: i dont know i dont have ppa-purge installed, type man ppa-purge in a terminal
[19:49] <lotuspsychje> Rafibd01717: read the sources link i gave you
[19:49] <lotuspsychje> Rafibd01717: its all explained step by step
[19:49] <Rafibd01717> No manual entry for ppa-purge EriC^^
[19:49] <Rafibd01717> so I need to install ppa-purge?
[19:49] <EriC^^> Rafibd01717: sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
[19:49] <TJ-> motaka2: line 32 (and others) "[+2804.25s] DEBUG: Failed to start greeter" looks to be the problem,
[19:50] <motaka2> TJ-: And?
[19:50] <TJ-> motaka2: let's try restarting the X server and DM: "sudo service restart lightdm"  - if this works you should be able to see the GUI greeter once more
[19:51] <ioria> madmanwithabox, ufw active ?
[19:51] <madmanwithabox> ioria nope
[19:52] <motaka2> TJ-: donkarlo@mohammad-desktop:~$ sudo service restart lightdm
[19:52] <motaka2> restart: unrecognized service
[19:52] <TJ-> motaka2: my typo again!  "sudo service lightdm restart"
[19:53] <motaka2> TJ-: donkarlo@mohammad-desktop:~$ sudo service lightdm restart
[19:53] <motaka2> lightdm stop/waiting
[19:53] <motaka2> lightdm start/running, process 3665
[19:53] <TJ-> motaka2: any sign of the display?
[19:53] <motaka2> TJ-: no
[19:54] <ImASpamBot> Hi
[19:54] <TJ-> motaka2: that is weird. "sudo service lightdm stop" then "pastebinit <( ps -efly )"
[19:54] <ioria> madmanwithabox, maybe the culprit if the mac filter, but can't help you on that, because i have never used it
[19:54] <Bashing-om> the_count: Lots of factors in the 'speed' . Where are you copying from and to and what means ? USB speeds are much slower USB2 as opposed to USB3 .. or maybe the bottleneck is the network if you are backing up off-premise .
[19:54] <motaka2> TJ-: ttp://paste.ubuntu.com/13547571/
[19:55] <TJ-> motaka2: I'm going to have to hadn you over to someone else now; I have to leave. The place to focus is on the /var/log/lightdm/ log-files, especially x-0.log and x-0-greeter.log
[19:55] <madmanwithabox> ioria, hmm, okay. thanks for the help anyway :)
[19:55] <motaka2> TJ-: dont go
[19:55] <ioria> madmanwithabox, good luck
[19:55] <TJ-> motaka2: there is no X server running which is good. Now do "sudo service lightdm start" and it should show the GU, if it doesn't, those logs *should* reveal a clue
[19:56] <madmanwithabox> ioria thanks
[19:56] <motaka2>  TJ-:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/13547571
[19:56] <ioria> madmanwithabox, no problem
[19:56] <lotuspsychje> madmanwithabox: ##networking might be able to help
[19:56] <the_count> Bashing-om: Well, I made a backup of My firefox directory ~300mb and finished in less than 5 seconds. It has been going from rsync for the last 10 minutes at least... Copying from my laptop to USB3 Portable Hard drive.. Makes my head spin
[19:56] <motaka2> TJ-: the black page again
[19:57] <madmanwithabox> lotuspsychje Okay, I'll join that right now and ask
[19:57] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: wich ubuntu version is this?
[19:57] <TJ-> motaka2: make sure another helper knows you're working over a remote SSH session, else they may make some incorrect assumptions
[19:57] <madmanwithabox> lotuspsychje Thanks everyone :)
[19:57] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: it is 12.04
[19:57] <TJ-> motaka2: right, so something is wrong with the drivers. I wonder if /var/log/kern.log might have some clue
[19:58] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: fully updated system?
[19:58] <motaka2> TJ-: so what do you suggest ?
[19:58] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: I updated it and restarted and I couldnt see the greeting page anymore
[19:59] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: no I have ssh access to it using putty on windows
[19:59] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: what graphics card does the system have
[19:59] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: I dont know, how can I check ?
[20:00] <Gallomimia> lspci
[20:00] <TJ-> lotuspsychje: the hard drive in this PC came from another PC, it did boot OK until a recent set of package upgrades. Now, after the initial GUI greeter display, after trying log-in the monitor goes black and remains that way, the /var/log/lightdm/ lightdm.log suggests the greeter fails after initially being shown. The user is NOT logged in, no user session is active, the X server remains running but lightdm
[20:00] <TJ-> itself has failed. Stopping the X server and restarting lightdm doesn't show the greeter GUI from then onwards
[20:00] <zykotick9> motaka2: "lspci | grep -i vga" might be more manageable.
[20:00] <lotuspsychje> TJ-: yeah saw the greeter huge delay
[20:01] <motaka2> zykotick9: lotuspsychje 07:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation NV44 [GeForce 6200 TurboCache] (rev a1)
[20:01] <TJ-> motaka2: lotuspsychje lspci: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13544310/
[20:02] <zykotick9> motaka2: just curious, did you install the nvidia driver from nvidia.com?
[20:02] <TJ-> motaka2: lotuspsychje Xorg.0.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13546655/
[20:02] <TJ-> motaka2: lotuspsychje "ls -l /var/log/lightdm/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/13547304/
[20:02] <motaka2> zykotick9: no I didnt
[20:03] <lotuspsychje> TJ-: sounds like recent driver fail on his system?
[20:03] <zykotick9> motaka2: ok, that's good.  i was just checking.  best of luck.
[20:03] <TJ-> motaka2: lotuspsychje /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/13547464/
[20:03] <TJ-> lotuspsychje: yes... it's got nvidia-304
[20:03] <TJ-> motaka2: I have to go, I'm already an hour overdue! Good luck
[20:03] <the_count> Bashing-om: I think I have backups enough... I'm going to go ahead and install.
[20:04] <Bashing-om> the_count: :)
[20:04] <motaka2> TJ-: Thank you. you are very kind
[20:04] <motaka2> Can anyone help me?
[20:04] <the_count> Bashing-om: So... Thinking about last minute considerations now
[20:04] <jonasliljestrand> Im debugging tcpdump output and having trouble with only seeing "starting connection" flags. How should I debug why receiving server doesn't respond?
[20:05] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: try the recoverymode/fix broken packages
[20:05] <jonasliljestrand> this pastie shows the dump I'm having.. http://pastie.org/private/ckndrvjyxiern5wpi0qw1w
[20:05] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: how?
[20:05] <the_count> Bashing-om: How about swap space, shall I Delete the Ubuntu and swap partitions and have it sort it out...?
[20:05] <lotuspsychje> !recovery | motaka2
[20:05] <jonasliljestrand> and pls dont yell at me for the pf shitty firewall things.. :)
[20:05] <lotuspsychje> !language | jonasliljestrand
[20:06] <ioria> motaka2, does it work with nouveau  ?
[20:06] <HeisenbergsDog> !lol | lotuspsychje
[20:07] <lotuspsychje> HeisenbergsDog: ?
[20:07] <HeisenbergsDog> never mind :P
[20:07] <zykotick9> lotuspsychje: i certainly don't see a problem with jonasliljestrand's !language...  its a tcpdump...
[20:07] <motaka2> ioria: what is nouvou?
[20:08] <lotuspsychje> zykotick9: scroll to the right line mate, sh1tty firewall?
[20:08] <jonasliljestrand> Ty zykotick9, I was mainly making a joke about pasting openBSD code in a ubuntu channel :)
[20:09] <ioria> motaka2, nvidia cards can use their proprietary divers or the opensource delivered by ubuntu, nouveau in this case
[20:09] <zykotick9> lotuspsychje: ahh, sorry.  i didn't actually go to the paste
[20:09] <motaka2> ioria: I dont know
[20:09] <the_count> Bashing-om: Ok, see ya
[20:09] <Bashing-om> the_count: Are you making this more difficult than it is ? What options are you using to install release 15.10 ?
[20:10] <ioria> motaka2, sudo lshw -c video
[20:10] <Gallomimia> motaka2: i also thought you were having an issue because of new drivers. i have had similar issues. i'll let you know if there's something i think of, but for now i'm going to just watch what others suggest to you
[20:14] <motaka2> ioria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13547891/
[20:15] <motaka2> Gallomimia: thx
[20:15] <ioria> motaka2, and your original issue was ? you cannot login ?
[20:15] <motaka2> ioria: I cant see the greeter page wher I can login
[20:15] <lotuspsychje> ioria: his greeter fails, after updating 12.04
[20:16] <ioria> motaka2, you set autologin ?
[20:16] <Gallomimia> what about if you press ctrl-alt-F1
[20:16] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: have you tryed loading a previous kernel?
[20:16] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: how?
[20:16] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: from grub
[20:16] <HeisenbergsDog> tried. sorry.
[20:17] <ioria> motaka2, well, i would start purging nvidia
[20:17] <motaka2> ioria: how?
[20:17] <ioria> motaka2, can you open a console on the running system ?
[20:17] <ioria> motaka2, ctrl +alt +f1 (or f2)
[20:17] <motaka2> ioria: yes using text mode in the grub
[20:18] <ioria> motaka2, sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
[20:18] <motaka2> ioria: I can run  commands I think on ubuntu system
[20:18] <motaka2> ioria: I think that is wrong
[20:19] <ioria> motaka2, what you mean ?
[20:19] <motaka2> ioria: sorry, wasnt for you
[20:19] <motaka2> I ran that it seems it is removing
[20:19] <ioria> motaka2, reboot then
[20:20] <motaka2> ioria: how by pressing the reset button
[20:20] <motaka2> ?
[20:20] <ioria> motaka2, sudo reboot
[20:20] <Gallomimia> or sudo shutdown -r now
[20:20] <Gallomimia> (sometimes the reboot program don't work for me)
[20:21] <motaka2> ioria: again it is the same
[20:22] <motaka2> ioria: I ended to a black page
[20:22] <ioria> motaka2, you are in text mode ?
[20:22] <motaka2> ioria: no if I was I would see the texts asking me to login
[20:23] <pinuccio> ciao
[20:23] <pinuccio> !list
[20:23] <lotuspsychje> ioria: his lightdm shows a 2500sec delay in conf
[20:23] <ioria> lotuspsychje, i see
[20:23] <ioria> lotuspsychje, boot in text mode then
[20:23] <motaka2> ioria: the difference this time is each 10 seconds it show some text quickly and then it goes dark
[20:24] <ioria> motaka2, boot in text mode
[20:24] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: try booting a previous kernel  ==>grub
[20:25] <Kevin-_-> Hi, I recently got the MSI GS Series GS60 Ghost Pro 4K-053 laptop.  I was wondering if anyone has had any problems installing ubuntu before I try to install it.  There isn't any linux drivers on msi's page.
[20:25] <motaka2> ioria: I am in text mode
[20:25] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: how?
[20:25] <lotuspsychje> Kevin-_-: did you check additional drivers section?
[20:26] <ioria> motaka2, sudo lightdm restart ?
[20:26] <ioria> motaka2, sudo service lightdm restart ?
[20:26] <lotuspsychje> ioria: TJ already tested that, back to black screen
[20:26] <LogicalDash> I got a Dell Inspiron 15 3000 series on the understanding it was officially supported by Ubuntu. I installed it all right, but when I log in the mouse goes invisible. I can still click things, kind of, but I can't tell where I'm about to click.
[20:26] <ioria> lotuspsychje, ok
[20:27] <Kevin-_-> lotuspsychje: I did a month ago, looking to find that again.
[20:27] <lotuspsychje> LogicalDash: might be an acpi issue, wich ubuntu version?
[20:27] <LogicalDash> lotuspsychje: 15.10
[20:27] <lotuspsychje> LogicalDash: try 14.04.3 lts
[20:27] <ioria> motaka2, cat /etc/issue
[20:28] <motaka2> ioria: but I restarted the lightweightdm you mean do that from putty ?
[20:28] <LogicalDash> ok, now I can *see* the mouse but not *move* it
[20:28] <ioria> motaka2, putty ? are you ssh 'ing ?
[20:28] <lotuspsychje> LogicalDash: usb keyboard and mouse support enabled in bios?
[20:29] <LogicalDash> lotuspsychje: checking
[20:29] <motaka2> ioria: not with commands you gave me
[20:29] <LogicalDash> lotuspsychje: should they be?
[20:29] <motaka2> ioria: but I have ssh access too
[20:29] <ioria> motaka2, can't you access directly your box ?
[20:29] <lotuspsychje> LogicalDash: in bios you can mostly choose bios/Os
[20:29] <LogicalDash> lotuspsychje: you didn't answer my question
[20:30] <motaka2> ioria: Yes in text mode yes
[20:30] <motaka2> what is box?
[20:30] <motaka2> ioria: donkarlo@mohammad-desktop:~$ cat /etc/issue
[20:30] <motaka2> Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS \n \l
[20:30] <motaka2> the above is done in ssh
[20:31] <ioria> motaka2, try again sudo service lightdm restart
[20:31] <lotuspsychje> LogicalDash: try bios
[20:31] <motaka2> ioria: from putty ?
[20:31] <ioria> motaka2, no, directly
[20:32] <motaka2> ioria: then I have to restart and then text mode wait
[20:32] <ioria> motaka2, ok
[20:33] <motaka2> ioria: TJ- told me not to purge nvidia
[20:33] <ioria> motaka2, why ?
[20:33] <motaka2> ioria: Are you sure it was a right thing to do ?
[20:33] <askme> my gosh i feel like an idiot listening to this. im 40 and have 2 computer degrees and havent messed with linux seriously since they got a gui
[20:33] <motaka2> ioria: he said things might got worse
[20:33] <askme> damn it... is there hope?
[20:34] <Kevin-_-> lotuspsychje: so I'm not seeing the additional drivers for this laptop.  I'm looking on here: http://us.msi.com/product/notebook/support/GS60-Ghost-Pro-4K-6th-Gen-GTX-970M.html#down-help-desk
[20:34] <ioria> motaka2, i did a lot of tiems on my pc : -)
[20:34] <ioria> *times
[20:35] <motaka2> ioria: lightdm restarted
[20:35] <motaka2> again the same issue
[20:35] <ioria> motaka2, again sudo lshw -c video
[20:36] <motaka2> ioria: from putty ?
[20:36] <TJ-> ioria: motaka2 I said that at the start before we knew what might be wrong, didn't want to do random things
[20:36] <lotuspsychje> Kevin-_-: wich ubuntu version is this?
[20:36] <cannon2>  HexChat: 2.10.2 ** OS: Linux 3.16.0-38-generic x86_64 ** Distro: LinuxMintD=LinuxMint ** CPU: 4 x Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3230M CPU @ 2.60GHz (GenuineIntel) @ 3.00GHz ** RAM: Physical: 3.7GiB, 82.5% free ** Disk: Total: 183.2GiB, 84.8% free ** VGA: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller ** Sound: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH ** Ethernet: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. CIe Gigabit
[20:36] <cannon2> Ethernet ** Uptime: 12h 54m 36s **
[20:36] <ioria> motaka2, why are you sing putty ?
[20:36] <ioria> *using
[20:36] <lotuspsychje> !mint | cannon2
[20:36] <TJ-> ioria: the Ubuntu PC goes to a black screen after greeter fails
[20:36] <motaka2> ioria: What should I use?
[20:37] <ioria> TJ- ah, ok
[20:37] <lotuspsychje> TJ-: did you try previous kernel with him?
[20:37] <Kevin-_-> lotuspsychje: I was thinking 15.10
[20:37] <TJ-> ioria: the SSH session allows us to see what is going on when the GPU output has failed. 'black-screen' is permanent after greeter fails
[20:37] <lotuspsychje> Kevin-_-: normally 970 gtx should give you additional drivers
[20:38] <TJ-> lotuspsychje: No, it took a long time to get the remote SSH configured. Earlier we were checking the file-system was okay via recovery with no network.
[20:38] <lotuspsychje> Kevin-_-: did you install with internet enabled?
[20:38] <motaka2> TJ-: after purging the nvidia sometimes it blinks with some text in it
[20:38] <ioria> motaka2, ok, you did an upgrade to 12.04 ?
[20:38] <motaka2> ioria: I tried
[20:38] <ioria> motaka2, and failed ?
[20:39] <motaka2> ioria: I think so
[20:39] <ioria> motaka2, from what version ?
[20:39] <motaka2> ioria: I have a live 14.04 DVD, would that help ?
[20:39] <ioria> motaka2, absolutly
[20:39] <motaka2> ioria: from 12.04 to 14.04
[20:39] <TJ-> ioria: the hard disk came from a different PC with slightly different hardware, but I couldn't find any log signs of difficulties due to that. The original PC had nvidia fake-raid, and although this PC doesn't the system sees and uses the fake-RAID metadata to boot from correctly.
[20:40] <TJ-> OK, I have to leave now. Good luck.
[20:40] <Kevin-_-> lotuspsychje: I haven't installed yet, was just curious if there are any potential problems that I'll run into.  i.e. Killer lan problems.
[20:40] <ioria> TJ- sounds very complicated then ....
[20:40] <Kevin-_-> don't want to get all the way through and then roll back to windows
[20:41] <lotuspsychje> Kevin-_-: ubuntu runs on most machines mate, some might need bit solving
[20:41] <Kevin-_-> thanks
[20:41] <ioria> motaka2, again sudo lshw -c video , please
[20:41] <lotuspsychje> Kevin-_-: if you run into issues, come back to us ok
[20:42] <ruid> anyone know how to prevent ubuntu server from sleeping....
[20:42] <ikonia> it won't sleep by default
[20:42] <ruid> running it on a laptop, so maybe theres something with that...
[20:42] <k1l> ruid: so you installed a desktop?
[20:42] <Kevin-_-_> lotuspsychje: will do.  Thanks again
[20:43] <Kevin-_-_> ugh, this hotel wifi keeps booting me off
[20:43] <motaka2> ioria: using putty?
[20:43] <ioria> motaka2, as you wish
[20:44] <ioria> motaka2, and uname -r
[20:46] <ruid> k1l, no
[20:46] <motaka2> ioria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13548364/
[20:46] <ruid> i installed ubuntu server on a laptop
[20:46] <motaka2> ioria:
[20:46] <motaka2> donkarlo@mohammad-desktop:~$ uname -r
[20:46] <motaka2> 3.2.0-94-generic-pae
[20:46] <ioria> motaka2, oh
[20:46] <k1l> ruid: and you installed gnome or unity or kde or such?
[20:46] <ioria> motaka2, wrong kernel i think...
[20:47] <k1l> motaka2: thats a really old kernel
[20:47] <ioria> !info linux-generic | motaka2
[20:47] <motaka2> ioria: k1l What should I do ?
[20:47] <k1l> motaka2: is this a 12.04?
[20:47] <motaka2> k1l: yes
[20:47] <motaka2> ioria: What should I do ?
[20:48] <ruid> k1l no
[20:48] <ioria> motaka2, wait... you said you did an upgrade to 14.04 ? or not ?
[20:48] <lotuspsychje> ioria: no he updated to latest 12.04
[20:48] <k1l> motaka2: you can get the 14.04 kernel when using the enablement stack
[20:48] <lotuspsychje> after update greeter fails
[20:48] <ioria> lotuspsychje, ok
[20:49] <motaka2> ioria: I tried but it failed. but still I could see and use my compuer. then to use xmind seven it suggested me to upgrade some packages and then after restart it ended to a black screen
[20:49] <k1l> ruid: so cli only?
[20:49] <motaka2> k1l: what do you suggest ?
[20:50] <ruid> k1l, yes
[20:50] <k1l> ruid: because if you would have installed a desktop that would have added some standby and suspend things
[20:50] <ioria> motaka2, from 12.04 to 14.04     . that is correct ?
[20:50] <bumblefuzz> how do I change my middle click button?
[20:51] <motaka2> ioria: Yes but it wasnt done
[20:51] <MonkeyDust> motaka2  what's the output of   cat /etc/issue
[20:51] <wizzkidd> hi i recently performed a reinstallation of ubuntu 15.10 over the top of my current 15.10 install which I was having problems with.  I'm just reinstalling some of the programs I had previously, however I think my previous OS had a newer kernel, uname -r shows me "4.2.0-040200-generic" but I think when I compile anything, it is using the currently installed kernel which is "4.2.0-18-generic".  Can anyone assist me out of this sticky
[20:51] <ioria> motaka2, ok, did you use the GUI or do.-release-upgrade ?
[20:52] <motaka2> ioria: I tried do release upgrade in those days, but not today
[20:52] <ioria> motaka2, ok, and cat /etc/issue is 12.04  ? right ?
[20:53] <motaka2> ioria: I dont know
[20:53] <Ducky^> does anyone know if it's possible to tell abcde to use cd text to name the files/tag them instead of cddb?
[20:53] <ioria> motaka2, cat /etc/issue  , please
[20:53] <motaka2> ioria: donkarlo@mohammad-desktop:~$ cat /etc/issue
[20:53] <motaka2> Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS \n \l
[20:54] <ioria> motaka2, right.... maybe you need to install the new kernel
[20:54] <sruli> i installed ubuntu and debian on separate luks partitions, when i run update-grub in ubuntu it does not see the debian partition, why not?
[20:54] <motaka2> ioria: how?
[20:54] <ioria> motaka2, try sudo apt-get install linux-generic
[20:54] <motaka2> ioria: on putty ?
[20:55] <motaka2> ioria: running very slow
[20:55] <ioria> motaka2, try on your installed system
[20:56] <motaka2> ioria: then restart and text mode
[20:56] <ioria> motaka2, yes, but i'm afraid it will reinstall the 3.2
[20:58] <motaka2> ioria: so what should I do ?
[20:58] <ioria> motaka2, try it
[20:59] <ioria> motaka2, cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[20:59] <Bashing-om> !info linux-image | wizzkidd

[20:59] <motaka2> ioria: let me start putty lots of data
[21:00] <VFDPrim> afternoon all
[21:00] <lotuspsychje> VFDPrim: welcome
[21:00] <Bashing-om> wizzkidd: Have you updated the system since the new (re-)install ? ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt full-upgrade ' .
[21:01] <VFDPrim> i have a HP printer that takes comands prints a test page perfect but when i tell it to print a word doc it spits out a blank page ... any ideas
[21:01] <zetheroo> I am back on the trail of troubleshooting why my Wifi speeds are so low - about 1 - 2 MB/s
[21:01] <kornyon1> Anyone available to help me trouble shoot?  I'm getting an error while booting, ubuntu is trying to mount the extended partition on 2 drives that contain a swap partition, I've never had this before
[21:01] <wizzkidd> Bashing-om: just a dist-upgrade
[21:01] <lotuspsychje> VFDPrim: did you install hplip tools?
[21:01] <lotuspsychje> zetheroo: wifi chipset and ubuntu version?
[21:01] <zetheroo> I followed this (http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/74-ubuntu/322-ubuntu-trusty-intel-centrino-6235-slow-freeze) and my wifi speed went from 1MB/s to 2MB/s
[21:02] <wizzkidd> Bashing-om: just tried apt full-upgrade and i have 0 to upgrade, 0 to install, 0 to remove
[21:02] <VFDPrim> i did before and it actually was worse then when i dont have it (have two of same printers on two ubuntu comps one had hplip and does not the one that does not works perfect
[21:02] <motaka2> ioria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13548633/
[21:02] <zetheroo> lotuspsychje: Centrino 6205 - Ubuntu 14.04
[21:02] <ioria> motaka2, ok, then
[21:03] <lotuspsychje> zetheroo: updated to latest 14.04.3?
[21:03] <zetheroo> lotuspsychje: sorry, 15.04
[21:03] <ioria> motaka2,  sudo apt-get install linux-generic
[21:03] <zetheroo> fully updated
[21:03] <lotuspsychje> zetheroo: try lts for more stable mate
[21:04] <lotuspsychje> zetheroo: try a 14.04.3 liveusb, and test the wifi speeds there
[21:04] <motaka2> ioria: that takes long time
[21:04] <ioria> motaka2,  i'm sorry about that ...
[21:04] <kornyon1> Any takers?
[21:04] <lotuspsychje> VFDPrim: try the hplip tools anyway and try a testpage from the control center
[21:04] <motaka2> ioria: ok running
[21:04] <zetheroo> lotuspsychje:  I upgraded thinking it would solve the issue :)
[21:05] <lotuspsychje> kornyon1: how did you create partitions?
[21:05] <ioria> motaka2, what i see is a failed trusty installation, with still the old kernel of pangoline
[21:05] <VFDPrim> i did the test page from the controle center withought hplip and worked PERFECT
[21:05] <Bashing-om> wizzkidd: K; well ! What is installed for kernels ' dpkg -l | grep linux- ' ? in a pastebin .
[21:05] <kornyon1> I didn't that the thing
[21:05] <VFDPrim> I did everything i could with hplip and it just kept messing up and would not print at all when told to
[21:06] <kornyon1> This *was* a running box, I just added a hard drive, had not done anything to it
[21:06] <ioria> motaka2, so, if you do a release-upgrade to trusty you should have at least a 3.16.0-xx-generic
[21:06] <motaka2> ioria: i dont think that would fix the issue, but I let that continue
[21:06] <lotuspsychje> VFDPrim: any documents blocked in your printer list?
[21:06] <VFDPrim> nope it was cleared
[21:06] <kornyon1> Even the swap is loaded, whats erroring is its like its trying ot mount /dev/sda2
[21:06] <ioria> motaka2, the upgrade failed to update the kernel, that's for sure ....
[21:06] <zetheroo> whats the relevance of the number 8 in "11n_disable=8"?
[21:07] <kornyon1> but the swap on sda5 is mount and functioning
[21:07] <kornyon1> mounted*
[21:07] <motaka2> ioria: ok it is 14 percent so I go out for dinner
[21:07] <ioria> motaka2, me tto, sorry :þ
[21:07] <ioria> *too
[21:07] <ioria> motaka2, good luck, mate
[21:07] <Bashing-om> kornyon1: Show the channel what dstab is telling the system to mount ' cat /etc/fstab ' into a pastebin . Let's see what tale is told .
[21:08] <VFDPrim> with hplip it just kept holding them and would not release them EVER so i removed it from the comp and deleated the printer reloaded the printer it found proper hard ware, did a test page worked perfect then tried to print a sentince from libra office and it acted like it was gunna print then tossed out an empty page oddest thing ever with this printer
[21:08] <lotuspsychje> VFDPrim: can this printer copy without pc?
[21:08] <VFDPrim> yes coppies perfect also
[21:08] <wizzkidd> Bashing-om: http://pastebin.com/uMvL76Qy
[21:08] <VFDPrim> tested the coppie with the printed test page lol
[21:09] <Bashing-om> wizzkidd: Look'n at your http://pastebin.com/uMvL76Qy .
[21:09] <motaka2> ioria: Will you be here in 15 mins?
[21:09] <OerHeks> VFDPrim, see the settings if 300 dpi or 600 dpi makes a difference, 1200 sometimes does not work.
[21:09] <lotuspsychje> VFDPrim: unplug usb and tail -f /var/log/syslog and plugin printer back to see errors
[21:09] <OerHeks> testpage is in 300 dpi i think.
[21:09] <kornyon1> Bashing-om:  I have a large fstab, is that ok?
[21:09] <ioria> motaka2, no mate... we'll see tomorrow,  :þ
[21:09] <lotuspsychje> !paste | kornyon1
[21:09] <VFDPrim> where do i chainge the dpi
[21:09] <kornyon1> ok pastebin duh
[21:09] <motaka2> ioria: ok thanks for your help
[21:10] <VFDPrim> sadly not on that computer at the moment
[21:10] <ioria> motaka2, you're welcome
[21:10] <kornyon1> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13548764/
[21:11] <motaka2> iooner-: it is 63 percent
[21:12] <kornyon1> The error I'm getting is related to sda2 which I'm not even trying to mount
[21:12] <kornyon1> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13548778/
[21:12] <VFDPrim> in printer properties where is the dpi settings found at
[21:12] <Bashing-om> wizzkidd: Appears to me that you have the latest version of the kernel imstalled .
[21:13] <Bashing-om> kornyon1: Look'n at your http://paste.ubuntu.com/13548764/ .
[21:14] <kornyon1> I'm sure there are some suboptimal settings, but I've never had this error before
[21:15] <kornyon1> I should clarifiy, the machine DOES boot, just the gui is not booting due to an error
[21:15] <wizzkidd> Bashing-om: I believe you are correct, however when I type uname -r it shows up as: 4.2.0-040200-generic (which is different from the dpkg - l output)
[21:17] <Bashing-om> kornyon1: Let us compare UUIDs ' sudo blkid ; mount ' to what is in the fstab file.. see what is and what is to be mounted .
[21:18] <Bashing-om> wizzkidd: Ouch .. Now that is beyond my skill level to know what is being parsed to get that " 4.2.0-040200-generic " output .
[21:18] <kornyon1> Bashing-om:  the uuids are correct hold on http://paste.ubuntu.com/13548865/
[21:19] <kornyon1> I didn't touch the fstab file when this error happened, what I am wondering is if this is a silent error that I didn't see before, I also just install a nvidia card, let me poke around a bit
[21:19] <TJ-> Bashing-om: wizzkidd that looks like a kernel PPA mainline build with the 040200 in the version
[21:19] <TJ-> Bashing-om: wizzkidd http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.2-wily/
[21:20] <VFDPrim> hmm cant find where the dpi settings for the printer are
[21:20] <kornyon1> I did install the nvidia current drivers but I wonder
[21:21] <lotuspsychje> VFDPrim: try printer settings, hplip tools
[21:21] <Bashing-om> TJ-: wizzkidd :: No beating that voice of experience .
[21:21] <VFDPrim> oh ok so i will have to go back to hplip
[21:21] <Bashing-om> kornyon1: : Comparing, gimme a bit .
[21:22] <VFDPrim> not sure why this would work fine on my computer with out the hplip but not on the other one
[21:23] <lotuspsychje> VFDPrim: both same ubuntu version?
[21:23] <VFDPrim> yup
[21:23] <wizzkidd> Bashing-om: thanks for your assistance
[21:24] <MrSassyBritches> Hello
[21:24] <wizzkidd> TJ-: what do you suggest I do?  I've just downloaded the http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.2-wily/ image and headers deb files for my arch
[21:24] <motaka2> cant anyone help me?
[21:24] <wizzkidd> TJ-: should i rebuild my kernel, and then recompile my program against it then?
[21:25] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: install 14.04.3 on your system and make it easy for yourself
[21:25] <TJ-> wizzkidd: what is the problem exactly; I've read back but its not clear to me.
[21:25] <kornyon1> the error I'm getting is sda2 and sde2 unable to read superblock
[21:25] <VFDPrim> lotuspsychje: yup the same version of ubuntu
[21:26] <lotuspsychje> TJ-: he had 15.10 and have issues, then installed another 15.10 over his previous
[21:26] <TJ-> motaka2: what is happening now? before I went for dinner I noticed ioria discovered the system was in a partial upgrade state from 12.04 to 14.04
[21:26] <lotuspsychje> VFDPrim: smells like one printer connected and the other not?
[21:26] <VFDPrim> if it was not connected then i would not get a test print
[21:27] <motaka2> I ran the last command he told me but still the same
[21:27] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: If I upgrade would I lose my data?
[21:27] <TJ-> motaka2: If I'd have know that I'd have suggested completing the upgrade, since it will have caused the system to have a mix of incompatible packages which likely would lead to the strange symptoms on that system.
[21:27] <TJ-> motaka2: what was the last command you executed?
[21:28] <TJ-> wizzkidd: Do you want to continue with the kernel PPA kernel, or just use the standard archive version?
[21:29] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: on upgrades you can save your /home
[21:29] <motaka2> TJ-: sudo apt-get install linux-generic
[21:29] <TJ-> motaka2: OK, and if I read the previous messages correctly the system's /etc/apt/sources.list is pointing to the trusty (14.04) archives, not precise (12.04)
[21:30] <wizzkidd> TJ-: I had the "4.2.0-040200-generic" kernel previously installed. I performed an over-the-top reinstallation of Ubuntu 15.10 and it seems to have installed/overwritten the existing with the "4.2.0-18" kernel.  Some of my previous programs were compiled against "4.2.0-040200-generic".  I've tried to recompile the program, but it is now compiling against "4.2.0-18" and fails to work.
[21:30] <mikaandre> hello
[21:30] <Grimm_> please how can the home folder be saved during an upgrade?
[21:30] <TJ-> wizzkidd: compiled against the kernel? you mean out-of-tree kernel modules?
[21:30] <ruid> k1l, turns out this is the solution: http://askubuntu.com/questions/141866/keep-ubuntu-server-running-on-a-laptop-with-the-lid-closed
[21:31] <k1l> ruid: ah, you didnt say you were closing the lid
[21:31] <motaka2> TJ-: What do you suggest ?
[21:31] <wizzkidd> TJ-: excuse my terminology, im trying to make sense of what I'm saying myself.  I'm not sure how to correctly articulate what I am saying.
[21:31] <ruid> k1l, what was interesting is that the suspend or hibernate (not sure which it was doing) would happen a while after I close the lid
[21:31] <TJ-> wizzkidd: the reason the system is booting with that PPA kernel is simply its alphabetical version naming causes update-grub to sort it first. You can remove that kernel's files from /boot/ and redo the GRUB config and reboot and you'll be on the regular 15.10 kernel
[21:32] <lotuspsychje> Grimm_: setup asks you to spare the /home
[21:32] <TJ-> wizzkidd: I get what you're saying, and your terminology is fine, I'm just trying to understand precisely what it is you're building
[21:33] <Grimm_> would I need a flash drive to copy the docs in the /home dir?
[21:33] <wizzkidd> TJ-: which is the newer kernel "4.2.0-18" or "4.2.0-040200-generic" ?
[21:33] <Bashing-om> kornyon1: So far " 6207faf9-dc89-4e5c-9d1a-86b05befa6d4 ' in fstab // not mounted .
[21:33] <DarwinSurvivor> Grimm_: No, if you select the option during the install to save /home, it the installer simply doesn't remove it (leaving the files right where they are)
[21:34] <TJ-> wizzkidd: the one in the archives
[21:34] <wizzkidd> TJ-: erm, the archives being?
[21:34] <DarwinSurvivor> Grimm_: think of "save" as "preserve" not "back-up", though a back-up is never a bad idea
[21:34] <TJ-> wizzkidd: "ls -latr /boot/*040200*" should show you the vmlinuz, initrd.img, config and other related files for that version
[21:35] <lotuspsychje> DarwinSurvivor: +1
[21:35] <TJ-> wizzkidd: The Ubuntu repository archive for 15.10
[21:35] <TJ-> wizzkidd: the one used by 'apt'
[21:35] <wizzkidd> TJ-: oh ok
[21:35] <lotuspsychje> ruid: we also have an #ubuntu-server channel for your needs
[21:35] <ruid> lotuspsychje, ah... good to know
[21:36] <Grimm_> ok
[21:36] <kornyon1> Bashing-om: I belive thats the new drive, seagate9
[21:36] <VFDPrim> thanks guys for the help with the printer i will try unplug and repluging it in along with a few other things then probably have to try the HPlip yet again even though i HATE that program i might not have a choice with this other computer not sure why it wouldent work when everything is the same on both comps but oh well grandma needs her printer lol
[21:37] <lotuspsychje> VFDPrim: good luck
[21:37] <VFDPrim> thanks
[21:37] <lotuspsychje> VFDPrim: come back to tell us what the issue was
[21:37] <TJ-> motaka2: It seems the do-release-upgrade process aborted at some point, leaving the system with some 12.04 files and some 14.04 files. To stand a chance of recovering that process needs to complete. It *might* continue if you do "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" since that should fetch all newer packages
[21:37] <wizzkidd> TJ-: judging by the date/time stamp, the 4.2.0-040200-generic is October and 4.2.0-18-generic is November
[21:38] <VFDPrim> Lotuspsychje: will do
[21:38] <TJ-> motaka2: but before you do that, back-up any personal files and data you need before you start, because the state of the PC might not be recoverable
[21:38] <wizzkidd> TJ-: is it safe to rm the older kernel from /boot/ ?
[21:38] <VFDPrim> also looking at doing a full computere upgrade soon so that should be interesting lol
[21:38] <lotuspsychje> VFDPrim: clean install lts for less problems :p
[21:38] <TJ-> wizzkidd: right. Personally I'd delete those PPA files with "rm /boot/*040200*" (I leave you to prefix that with 'sudo') and then do "sudo update-grub" and reboot
[21:39] <VFDPrim> yes however moving everything over is going to be the issue lol
[21:39] <lotuspsychje> VFDPrim: data or programs?
[21:40] <wizzkidd> TJ-: thanks :D
[21:40] <VFDPrim> well on new instull i will have to figure out all programs i use then tranfer all the datta such as vids pictures and what not over
[21:41] <lotuspsychje> !info aptoncd | VFDPrim to backup programs
[21:41] <VFDPrim> yup did not understand any of that Ubuttu: lol
[21:42] <lotuspsychje> VFDPrim: you can use this program to back your favorite packages to a new system
[21:43] <VFDPrim> oh ok hmmm will have to check that out
[21:43] <VFDPrim> how do i find that program
[21:43] <lotuspsychje> VFDPrim: open terminal: sudo apt-get install aptoncd
[21:43] <mystupidnick> since ubuntu now uses systemd, is it safe to remove upstart?
[21:44] <lotuspsychje> mystupidnick: better try another ubuntu version
[21:44] <VFDPrim> thanks Lotus
[21:44] <mystupidnick> lotuspsychje: hu?
[21:44] <lotuspsychje> mystupidnick: wich ubuntu version are you on
[21:45] <mystupidnick> lotuspsychje: 15.10
[21:45] <lotuspsychje> mystupidnick: 15.10 uses systemd..
[21:45] <mystupidnick> so?
[21:46] <lotuspsychje> mystupidnick: where do you want remove upstart then?
[21:46] <mystupidnick> from my computer
[21:46] <lotuspsychje> mystupidnick: wich one
[21:47] <mystupidnick> sorry, your questions make no sense
[21:47] <lotuspsychje> mystupidnick: 15.10 doenst use upstart..what are you trying to do?
[21:48] <mystupidnick> lotuspsychje: i told you already
[21:50] <VFDPrim> if i use startup disc creator on this machine will it coppie all programs on this machine and put it onto the new one?
[21:50] <lotuspsychje> VFDPrim: no
[21:50] <lotuspsychje> VFDPrim: start disc creator only makes an ubuntu seup for you
[21:51] <lotuspsychje> setup
[21:51] <VFDPrim> oh ok
[21:51] <lotuspsychje> VFDPrim: adding packages afterwards is for the user
[21:51] <lotuspsychje> VFDPrim: and aptoncd can help you there
[21:51] <VFDPrim> so what is that prgram exactly for that i just added
[21:52] <lotuspsychje> VFDPrim: to backup your existing programs, to install on the new system
[21:52] <VFDPrim> and how do i open the damn thing lol it wont come up in my computer search
[21:52] <VFDPrim> oh ok so it will do what i wanted startupdisc creator to do
[21:53] <lotuspsychje> VFDPrim: ah you thought startup disc creator was for creating backups
[21:53] <lotuspsychje> !backup | VFDPrim
[21:54] <VFDPrim> oh no just was wondering if it did all those other extra programs been a long long time since i used the startup disk creator lol
[21:55] <wizzkidd> TJ-: looking good, now my machine boots up with the only and current kernel.  I've deleted the kernel headers belonging to *040200* also.  I've just started a configure/make/make install on a program, and it's looking much better now as I can see it address the current kernel.  Fingers crossed.
[21:55] <Bashing-om> kornyon1: 16 entries on the fstab file, 16 devices noted .. but " 6207faf9-dc89-4e5c-9d1a-86b05befa6d4 " from the fstab file IS NOT one of them . Ya got a cross reference in error here somewhere .
[21:58] <TJ-> wizzkidd: good, that should be all you need
[22:00] <motaka2> TJ-: Sorry I was out for dinner
[22:00] <OxJG> thanks
[22:00] <motaka2> TJ-: What do you suggestme to do ?
[22:00] <OxJG> first time here
[22:01] <lotuspsychje> OxJG: you joined an ubuntu support channel
[22:02] <OxJG> woops
[22:02] <OxJG> well, learning
[22:02] <Guest86413> Hi!
[22:03] <motaka2> TJ-: are you there?
[22:03] <Guest86413> Yup
[22:04] <Bashing-om> kornyon1: OK " 5d8826dc-a1e1-4990-a2be-00676e48c7ab -> ../../sde1 " not in the fstab file :) .
[22:05] <kornyon1> Bashing-om:  yeah I'm lookign right now
[22:05] <kornyon1> something's gone goofy
[22:08] <kornyon1> Bashing-om:  yep I concur, looks like I was trying to mount the swap file lol
[22:09] <Bashing-om> kornyon1: Uh huh .. K ; I had not got to that point of thin'n .. glad ya got it sorted .
[22:09] <kornyon1> but I don't think thats the root of my problems
[22:09] <kornyon1> I think this has been a silent error, I'm just seeing it because i install a nvidia card and it won't load the desktop lol
[22:10] <Bashing-om> kornyon1: OK, I keep digg'n see what I can find .

[22:31] <zetheroo> I am getting about 3MB/s data transfer speed over wifi - should be a bit better than that no?
[22:32] <daftykins> not if it's 'g', no
[22:33] <ubuntu899> Hi.My USB is not recognizied at all, nothing in gparted ,dmesg | grep  USB,lsblk,lsusb.Please help.Thanks.:(
[22:34] <zetheroo> daftykins: intel 6205 - I believe it's an N
[22:34] <daftykins> zetheroo: just because the device is doesn't mean the network is
[22:35] <daftykins> check what it's actually connected at - and also what are you taking this 3MB/sec value from? internet based or local wired LAN to wireless transfer? it all matters
[22:35] <zetheroo> daftykins: from the same source PC to the same destination PC over Ethernet I get about 10 MB/s
[22:35] <zetheroo> no, nothing to do with Internet
[22:35] <daftykins> sounds like a cheap router with 100Mb ports.
[22:35] <daftykins> good stuff
[22:36] <zetheroo> daftykins: the 10MB/s might be because it's going through a POE device
[22:36] <zetheroo> with a Windows PC to the same destination I get about 5MB/s on the wifi
[22:37] <daftykins> none of these statements actually make much sense beyond yourself, who knows your own setup
[22:37] <daftykins> i don't know what's connected to what, or how
[22:38] <m1dnight_> Hmm it seems like my array has disappeared
[22:38] <m1dnight_> Can anyone point me to a proper tutorial on mdadm? All the ones I follow have invalid commands
[22:38] <m1dnight_> Its kind of frustrating
[22:39] <zetheroo> daftykins: not sure what to say ... I know the speed issue is not on the destination end as over Ethernet it's up to 10MB/s
[22:39] <Bashing-om> !raid | m1dnight_ Have you seen
[22:40] <m1dnight_> Yes I have seen those
[22:40] <daftykins> zetheroo: you're saying that when both source and destination are connected via wired it's got a 100Mb link, yet over wireless it's slow... so why aren't you stating what speed your router's access point runs at?
[22:40] <m1dnight_> But I just have two secondary disks as raid.
[22:41] <daftykins> zetheroo: or identifying the line speed from the laptop whilst on wireless?
[22:42] <zetheroo> daftykins: The wireless AP is N and the router is a gigabit router
[22:42] <daftykins> then you must have an intermediary device because 10MB/sec is not gigabit :>
[22:42] <zetheroo> yes, the POE I mentioned
[22:42] <zetheroo> it's inbetween
[22:42] <zetheroo> it's not gigabite
[22:43] <zetheroo> gigabit*
[22:43] <daftykins> that makes 0 sense, power over ethernet doesn't incite a speed reduction, what's the device?
[22:43] <daftykins> i've seen a lot of intel cards get used at slower than N speeds as it'd be the only way some of them work under Linux, so i'd check what mode it's associating and connecting at
[22:44] <zetheroo> Netgear something ... max speed 500 Mbps iirc
[22:44] <daftykins> do you mean a powerline adapter, that networks over mains wiring... not power over ethernet? because that's not the same :D
[22:45] <zetheroo> I already did this (http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/74-ubuntu/322-ubuntu-trusty-intel-centrino-6235-slow-freeze) and then speeds were at 3MB/s instead of 1MB/s
[22:45] <zetheroo>  daftykins: sorry, yes
[22:45] <zetheroo> :P
[22:46] <daftykins> zetheroo: wow you mention this NOW? look at the '11n_disable' bit, that might have some bearing
[22:47] <daftykins> i'd be willing to bet you've applied edits that trash 'n' entirely and so you're connected at 'g' speed, wherein 3MB/sec is the best you're likely to see
[22:47] <zetheroo> daftykins: I asked about it before on this channel and nobody seemed to pick up on it ...
[22:47] <daftykins> i just reconnected 'cause my server was DDoS'd overnight, so i wasn't here.
[22:47] <zetheroo> I tried looking specifically for info on this setting, but apparently 8 doesn't disable N
[22:48] <zetheroo> ok
[22:48] <daftykins> well like i said twice already, how about you confirm the speed you are connected at? :)
[22:48] <shome2> I have a BDR device running Ubuntu 14.04. I'm trying to install a new VM on the machine, but VirtualBox keeps trying to install the new vm on the OS drive. I have another Raid 5 array with NAS shares on it that I am trying to point the vm to. What's the best way I can point virtualbox to this ?
[22:49] <zetheroo> does this help? http://paste.ubuntu.com/13550136/
[22:49] <daftykins> shome2: talking in the #vbox channel about how to edit the path your VMs get created would make sense to me. no idea what BDR is though
[22:50] <shome2> daftykins: Thanks. I didn't really review the channels much yet.
[22:50] <daftykins> ah, well a topic is indeed best suited to the channel for it :>
[22:50] <daftykins> zetheroo: claims to be single stream 'n', 135Mb... so assuming you have good signal to this AP, it could do better - but it's Linux so you're lucky to get what you get
[22:51] <zetheroo> I am a room away from the AP
[22:51] <KageNoOni> The problem is that list of channels is huge.  It's hard to know ahead of time, if you don't know the channels, which one is going to be appropriate.
[22:51] <KageNoOni> I can see why he didn't notice #vbox immediately (I tried going through that list and didn't notice that one myself either)
[22:52] <KageNoOni> But then again, my problem has nothing to do with running VM's.
[22:52] <shome2> BDR(backup disaster recover) device
[22:52] <shome2> It's running zfs, which I joined the #zfs channel for. I love that channel.
[22:53] <KageNoOni> My issue is apparently some interaction between Nautilus and Cinnamon.  I'm not the only one who has had this issue, but apparently that person wasn't able to find a fix for this either.
[22:53] <daftykins> well for both of your future references, "alis" is the channels bot which you PM to discover channels :)
[22:53] <KageNoOni> Good to know, how's the syntax work?
[22:53] <bprompt> KageNoOni:  http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/?net=freenode   :)
[22:54] <daftykins> KageNoOni: ask the bot.
[22:54] <k1l> !alis | KageNoOni
[22:59] <n7892> TJ- r u there?
[22:59] <KageNoOni> So, anyone know why Nautilus will automatically switch my desktop background, once opened, then will not allow me to switch it back, even after Nautilus is closed?  Ubuntu 15.04, Cinnamon desktop.
[22:59] <samthewildone> !bluetooth
[23:00] <KageNoOni> Also, any way to stop it from doing that?
[23:01] <KageNoOni> I had to replace the desktop background it was using, with sudo cp, backing the original file up first, in order to get switch my background.
[23:01] <samthewildone> is this really necessary https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/penguin-usb-bluetooth-40-micro-adapter ?
[23:01] <Jan\> this error:     Download failed : Failed to write to /var/www/html/drupal-8.0.0.tar.gz : Bad file descriptor
[23:01] <Gallomimia> i tried putting something called ubuntu kylin on my macbook pro. its strange because the menus and wifi settings dialog are all in chinese. also, the wifi card won't work. broadcom driver issue? some suggestions please. i downloaded the installer image from ubuntu.com and thought it was the newest LTS. 14.04.3
[23:01] <daftykins> samthewildone: for what
[23:02] <KageNoOni> Ubuntu Kylin is developed with China in mind.
[23:02] <Gallomimia> KageNoOni: doublecheck the permissions and owner of the file you made with cp
[23:02] <daftykins> Jan\: what produced the error? a web app?
[23:02] <Jan\> daftykins: yes
[23:02] <Gallomimia> well, starting up with default language of chinese is cool. but saying i want english would change all menus to english, not just the front window
[23:02] <eden_> i find a solution http://firstdoit.com/quick-tip-bluetooth-a2dp-on-linux-mint-17-qiana-mate/?utm_source=blog.gadr.me
[23:02] <eden_> peace
[23:03] <daftykins> Jan\: then it's not really ubuntu support, but likely the username your web server executes as does not have write permissions to the document root where it's trying to download (i assume) a drupal update
[23:04] <daftykins> Gallomimia: get a normal desktop image and install that, we have plenty of resources on getting broadcom working.
[23:04] <daftykins> !mac | Gallomimia you can also contribute to this page and update it with your model's success installing, like i did for an ancient model listed.
[23:04] <Gallomimia> daftykins: thanks. knowing thats not normal will help me
[23:04] <daftykins> well, using kylin is not normal really
[23:05] <jackoo> Hi ! I have a problem booting with my liveusb, my PC can't reconize it .
[23:06] <daftykins> how did you prepare the flash drive?
[23:07] <jackoo> I made it with gparted then unetbootin , and after that i tried with the software included in ubuntu
[23:07] <daftykins> is this a laptop? does it currently have Windows 8 or 10?
[23:07] <jackoo> forgot to say it only doesn't work on one computer, my laptop
[23:08] <jackoo> Yes it's Windows 10
[23:08] <daftykins> ok so you've tested it fine on another host? good stuff
[23:08] <daftykins> !efi | jackoo
[23:08] <samthewildone> daftykins, hey, I'm attempting to connect my headphones and having trouble.
[23:08] <daftykins> jackoo: have a read there, often you must change BIOS parameters such as 'secure boot' to get media to function
[23:09] <jackoo> I tried to boot it with the uefi but my computer returned me an error
[23:09] <jackoo> Secure boot is also off
[23:09] <daftykins> what error?
[23:10] <blackflow> Hello. The mouse cursor disappears over terminal window. It reappears if I click or if I move it outside the term. How do I disable that?
[23:10] <jackoo> Something like error loading this file. I tried to load a file with the efi extension in my liveusb
[23:11] <daftykins> samthewildone: so you were asking whether you'd really have to resort to buying that extra bluetooth dongle? no idea, i have never done anything with bluetooth
[23:11] <daftykins> jackoo: make + model laptop?
[23:11] <jackoo> Oh and a liveusb with Windows works normally
[23:12] <KageNoOni> Ok, I've stumped one person who tried offering help.  Anyone else care to take a stab at my problem?
[23:12] <jackoo> It's the HP pavillon x2 10-n003nf. Sorry but what do you mean by ''make''?
[23:13] <KageNoOni> Make means manufacturer, Model is the specific version of what ever they are creating.  HP is your make in this case.
[23:14] <daftykins> KageNoOni: people reply when they can help, there's no need to keep going at it :)
[23:14] <Gallomimia> lol. takes longer to flash the usb stick with an image than to download said image. internet these days :D
[23:15] <daftykins> then you end up downloading half that again in updates :(
[23:15] <daftykins> that's the part i find funny
[23:15] <jackoo> ok thanks , so it's the pavillon x2 10-n003nf , a new hybrid laptop
[23:15] <daftykins> jackoo: can you take pictures of each BIOS screen and share them on something like imgur.com ?
[23:16] <atlantis> hello
[23:16] <daftykins> hi
[23:16] <atlantis> i installed ubuntu 14.10
[23:16] <jackoo> Ok
[23:16] <atlantis> but i prefer xfce
[23:16] <atlantis> so i installed xubuntu-desktop
[23:17] <atlantis> sadly all root based commands are not working over the menu drawer
[23:17] <daftykins> atlantis: can you do this without pressing enter as punctuation please?
[23:18] <Bashing-om> !14.10
[23:18] <atlantis> does anyone know how to find the reason for this? are the menu entries wrong?
[23:18] <atlantis> ...
[23:19] <daftykins> yeah don't use 14.10 :)
[23:19] <atlantis> great help :P 14.10 is long term supported
[23:19] <atlantis> so dont advertise something else ;)
[23:19] <daftykins> no it's not, 14.04 is LTS
[23:20] <daftykins> 14.10 was dead back in July as the above factoid states :)
[23:20] <atlantis> sry 14.04
[23:20] <atlantis> not 14 10
[23:21] <daftykins> confirm with "cat /etc/issue"
[23:21] <KageNoOni> I need to remember that one.
[23:21] <jasabella> why not lsb_release -a?
[23:21] <atlantis> Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS \n \l
[23:22] <KageNoOni> Even better.  I need to remember those commands.
[23:22] <jasabella> /etc/issue is just the pre-login message
[23:23] <daftykins> lsb_release -d is also another method
[23:23] <daftykins> jasabella: there are always multiple ways to achieve the same thing in computing, there's no point you jumping all over one when it works perfectly well as another.
[23:24] <atlantis> nice u know so many commands for the same result, how about one for fixing broken menu entries..?
[23:24] <jasabella> what if the user has customised their login message?
[23:24] <daftykins> KageNoOni: please don't use notices in future :)
[23:24] <daftykins> jasabella: your suggestion is moot since it's an ubuntu default
[23:26] <J-G> Hello. I was wondering if anyone could point me to a good disk recovery tool i can run in ubuntu.
[23:26] <hoemich> hi, I'd like to install a fresh ubuntu using debootstrap. My command is: sudo debootstrap --variant=wily /mnt https://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu. It fails "Can't cd to de.archive.ubuntu.com". Why is this?
[23:27] <zykotick9> J-G: testdisk/photorec is one option.  good luck.
[23:27] <J-G> thanks
[23:27] <mystupidnick> any way to apt-get purge and reinstall a package?
[23:27] <Bashing-om> J-G: ^ +1 see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery .
[23:28] <jackoo> daftykins: here are the picture from my bios, thanks
[23:28] <jackoo> http://imgur.com/a/o5bTB
[23:28] <daftykins> ah one of those newer atom Z things
[23:28] <daftykins> just doing some housework so brb in 5 mins
[23:29] <Bashing-om> mystupidnick: If installed via the repo, yes . Else, depends on how it was installed .
[23:29] <sudo3> hi
[23:29] <cheetahw26_> is syslog-ng no longer supported/available/updated from 14.04 ?  I can't find it in the default repositories...
[23:30] <mystupidnick> Bashing-om: then what is the command? apt-get purge and *then* installing doesnt do what i want
[23:31] <bazhang> !info syslog-ng | cheetahw26_
[23:32] <Bashing-om> mystupidnick: How was it installed ? If not via the package manager, then the system will know nothing about said package .
[23:32] <cheetahw26_> that's wily...
[23:32] <cheetahw26_> I'm using 14.04
[23:32] <ninja_hacker_tor> brazilian?
[23:33] <mystupidnick> Bashing-om: it was installed with apt-get
[23:33] <bazhang> !info syslog-ng trusty | cheetahw26_
[23:33] <bazhang> its there cheetahw26_
[23:33] <hoemich> ok, never mind my question. I am dumbt ;-)
[23:33] <cheetahw26_> strange... I'm not finding it from apt...
[23:34] <Bashing-om> cheetahw26_: ' apt-cache show syslog-ng ' says that the package is avail in trusty .
[23:34] <bazhang> cheetahw26_, try apt-get update and upgrade then apt-cache search it
[23:34] <Bashing-om> mystupidnick: What is the package name ?
[23:34] <cheetahw26_> I believe you... I'm probably doing something wrong...
[23:35] <sudo3> how  i run dnsmasq on ubuntu 12.04? sudo service dnsmasq start and sudo /etc/init.d/dnsmasq start doesnt work because in /etc i have only dnsmasq.d folder that dont contain any ifno...
[23:35] <cheetahw26_> yeah... sorry, I must not have done an update, I have many results for this now...
[23:35] <bazhang> thats helpful :)
[23:35] <mystupidnick> Bashing-om: fontconfig
[23:36] <sudo3> anyone can help?
[23:36] <sudo3> :(
[23:36] <cheetahw26_> thank you... I read an article once where a developer literally hired someone to sit by them and lightly smack/hit them once in a while
[23:37] <Bashing-om> mystupidnick: Maybe already removed ? What returns ' dpkg -l fontconfig ' ?
[23:39] <tubaman> sudo3: you there?
[23:41] <mystupidnick> Bashing-om: older versions of fontconfig used to throw a lot of files in the /etc/fonts hierarchy
[23:41] <mystupidnick> Bashing-om: many of those files arent used anymore so i'm trying to purge fontconfig to make them go away
[23:45] <oleg_> Hello. My NVidia refuses to acknowledge that my CRT has bigger resolutions than 640x480. Any solutions to that?
[23:46] <stangeland> hi. i have a lenovo x1 carbon 2nd gen. suddently the mouse buttons on the touchpad stopped working in my ubuntu installation. why?
[23:46] <KageNoOni> oleg_ Did you install your driver from NVidia directly, or use the one Ubuntu gives you when it detects you're using an NVidia card?
[23:47] <Bashing-om> oleg_: Is there a generated /etc/X11/xorg.conf file ?
[23:47] <KageNoOni> I had the same problem once, because I used the driver I got from NVidia, instead of using the one Ubuntu installs.
[23:50] <AlexQ> Hi. I need a alternative branch of vaapi intel-driver, namely g45-h264 to check how that would work
[23:50] <stangeland> hi. i have a lenovo x1 carbon 2nd gen. suddently the mouse buttons on the touchpad stopped working in my ubuntu installation. why?
[23:50] <daftykins> AlexQ: no, you use the latest kernel available and that's all that's necessary.
[23:51] <AlexQ> I will get H264 accel support for my laptop?
[23:51] <tachys> Hi #ubuntu! I have a windows 8 partition, an ubuntu 14.04 partition, and an arch-linux partition. I want to uninstall and then reinstall ubuntu because I'm having problems with it. But I can't tell from within window's disk management utility which partition is my ubuntu partition.
[23:52] <KageNoOni> Try a live disk for this, that comes with gparted.  Even the Ubuntu install live disc should be able to give you more information.
[23:52] <maggy> hi guys, can I swap the keys Ctrl and Mod5 with each other? I'm almost four a couple hours searching the web for a sollution. I hope someone can help me here
[23:52] <LambdaComplex> tachys: Why not just do it from Arch?
[23:52] <KageNoOni> Windows doesn't do well detecting linux partitions.
[23:52] <LambdaComplex> tachys: One partition will be NTFS and the other will be ext4. Easy.
[23:53] <OerHeks> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-vaapi-driver
[23:53] <tachys> LambdaComplex: the disk management utility doesn't list the file systems of the non-windows partitions. They are just blank.
[23:54] <LambdaComplex> tachys: Uh....are we still talking about from Arch?
[23:54] <tachys> LambdaComplex: No, I was talking about from windows.
[23:54] <KageNoOni> Don't try to determine which is which from Windows, it can't detect linux partitions.
[23:54] <k1l> tachys: to install ubuntu you need an live ubuntu anyway.
[23:54] <LambdaComplex> tachys: Well, what are you trying to do anyways?
[23:54] <tachys> I could do it from arch, but I'm worried it will be more complex and thus more prone to erasing incorrect partitions.
[23:55] <LambdaComplex> Uh, how?
[23:55] <LambdaComplex> Gparted is pretty easy to use
[23:55] <k1l> tachys: easiest way: see to which partition the grub entry links to
[23:55] <LambdaComplex> And it's not gonna be "prone to erasing incorrect partitions"
[23:55] <LambdaComplex> Whatever you're using is gonna do what you tell it to do
[23:55] <AlexQ> daftykins: What are you actually talking about? I think H.264 is still just disabled in mainstream intel vaapi-driver for G45, if the branch is still there directly on freedesktop.org's git
[23:55] <KageNoOni> From arch, use Gparted, select the ext4 partition that ISN'T mounted, and that's the correct one you want to install Ubuntu onto.
[23:55] <tachys> LambdaComplex: for some reason I have no internet connection from either ubuntu or arch. I cannot use pacman or aptitude to install the necessary partitioning software.
[23:56] <AlexQ> OerHeks: And how do I select branch? I actually wanted to finish my question by asking how do I build and install in a way that will prevent apt-get from overwriting these files on upgrade
[23:56] <LambdaComplex> tachys: Well, wired or wireless?
[23:56] <tachys> I'm reinstalling to try to fix the problem with no internet connection.
[23:56] <tachys> LambdaComplex: Wired.
[23:56] <stangeland> hi. i have a lenovo x1 carbon 2nd gen. suddently the mouse buttons on the touchpad stopped working in my ubuntu installation. why?
[23:56] <k1l> tachys: its not windows. reinstall doesnt solve issues magically :)
[23:57] <KageNoOni> Tachys, do you have the same issue with a live disk?
[23:57] <KageNoOni> A live disk will use default settings, so if there's still an issue, the issue isn't with your installation.
[23:57] <tachys> KageNoOni: I have no tried a live disk. Is that a burnable medium that I can run the OS from?
[23:57] <k1l> tachys: the thing you used to install ubuntu
[23:58] <LambdaComplex> tachys: ip link + systemctl start dhcpcd@[interface].service -now
[23:58] <LambdaComplex> tachys: That'll (hopefully) do the trick for Arch
[23:58] <tachys> LambdaComplex: Cool, I will try that on arch
[23:58] <LambdaComplex> tachys: wait, enable
[23:58] <k1l> …
[23:58] <LambdaComplex> not start
[23:58] <finetundra> Hey folks, what should I do if banshee media player is crashing?
[23:59] <finetundra> it crashes while trying to change tracks
[23:59] <daftykins> finetundra: reset your home folder config of it
[23:59] <OerHeks> AlexQ, i think that package is installed already
[23:59] <LambdaComplex> tachys: use ip link to get the interface name. e.g. mine is enp4s0. so i'd do "systemctl enable dhcpcd@enp4s0.service -now"
[23:59] <finetundra> I have, oh and it also won't play mp3 files after a crash
