[00:00] tachys: the ubuntu install media is a live OS. you can put that onto a usb or a dvd. [00:00] OerHeks: But I need another branch of the bundle, with H.264 support for G45 enabled [00:00] Streusel... do you have xev installed? [00:00] er, strangeland [00:00] jackoo: sorry for the delay, try setting an administrator password (write it down!) as this may unlock further options that are currently hidden [00:00] tachys: but you could just connect the laptop to a lan cable, and then come here and we can try to fix that issue [00:00] uhh no.. [00:00] k1l: thanks, I will try that to test if a fresh install would fix the internet problem. [00:01] OerHeks: I already have the newest mirror from git, I am just wondering if the files I install with make install won't be overwritten by apt-get when upgrading packages [00:01] k1l: My ubuntu installation is on my desktop (not laptop) and is connected via Ethernet cable to my router. [00:01] tachys: i doubt it. better to get the facts whats going wrong and solve that. no need for reinstalls [00:01] OerHeks: Should I just remove these packages after building and installing from source? [00:01] daftykins: ok i'm going to try [00:02] LambdaComplex: So I ran "systemctl enable dhcpcd@enp2s0.service now" and got "Failed to parse lined 'ow'" [00:02] AlexQ, you can pinn them [00:02] !pinning [00:02] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [00:02] tachys: -now [00:02] not now [00:02] LambdaComplex: sorry, I meant to say that I did use "-now" [00:02] hm [00:03] tachys: okay, just try systemctl enable and then do the same thing but with systemctl start [00:03] LambdaComplex: "-now" does not seem to be a valid flag for systemctl, based on the man page. [00:03] tachys: oh hey, it's --now [00:03] oops [00:03] OerHeks: But how can I pin them when there is no alternative package? I mean, there is no package to prefer - I am not building a package, I am just installing with make install [00:03] * LambdaComplex is literate, he swears [00:04] LambdaComplex: "systemctl: unrecognized option '--now'" [00:04] Also, "systemctl start" results in "Too few arguments" [00:04] tachys: systemctl enable dhcpcd@enp2s0.service --now [00:04] LambdaComplex: I'm doing this on my arc partition btw. [00:04] LambdaComplex: tachys #archlinux for arch support, please [00:04] arch* [00:05] k1l: wait, i got a thing for this [00:05] LambdaComplex: that's the same command I entered, and it doesn't recognize the --now option. [00:05] stangeland... do you have xev installed? [00:05] "we do ask you to stay as helpful as possible" [00:05] OerHeks: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-vaapi-driver - lists only 1 normal built packages: i965-va-driver. So what if I just remove that? [00:05] jasabella, i dont know. its ubuntu with xfce [00:06] But really I'd like to debug the ubuntu partition, if there's some way to troubleshoot it from within ubuntu and not require a reinstall, I'd be much obliged for your help :) [00:06] LambdaComplex: i am exhausted of you making a drama everytime. please make sure you read the guidelines and stick to them, thanks [00:06] tachys: eh, just do enable and start separately. what's wrong with your ubuntu installation? [00:06] !guidelines | LambdaComplex [00:06] LambdaComplex: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [00:06] LambdaComplex: it doesn't have an internet connection. [00:07] tachys: is that some sort of special network setup? [00:07] k1l: yeah, that's literally what i just quoted [00:07] tachys: nobody's helped you yet huh? mount the partitions and check for /etc/issue to find your ubuntu's / partition :) [00:07] It's also in a strange sort-of zombie state where it was originally installed at Ubuntu Server Edition, but then i added ubuntu-desktop because I needed GUI for something. [00:07] (not sure if you're still on the partition identification step) [00:08] daftykins: i have nothing more (just a password before entering the bios) [00:08] I'd rather just wipe the ubuntu installation and start over. [00:08] KDE Plasma just crashed and I cannot sign out. How do I restart sddm? [00:08] jackoo: ok, try making sure windows is shutdown properly by pressing windows key + R (that's super+R) and entering "shutdown -s -t 1" ; then boot from powered off - and be sure to use a USB 2.0 port if possible, or just try each. [00:09] daftykins: The problem is that I was using Window's disk management program to wipe the partition, but windows can't figure out which partitions are which. [00:09] tachys: yeah it won't be able to read them, so use a live session [00:09] tachys: make a live ubuntu usb. you will need that to install anyway [00:09] daftykins: how do I use a live session? [00:09] as k1l says [00:09] k1l: haha, ok. [00:09] tachys: on that use "gparted" to sort the partitions [00:10] OerHeks: It seems to be only that file (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so) and some docs. That package breaks only 1 package: libva-intel-vaapi-driver , which is just a meta package installing the appropriate binary package with the vaapi driver, am I correct? [00:10] Will do. thanks daftykins k1l LambdaComplex [00:11] hi. i have a lenovo x1 carbon 2nd gen. suddently the mouse buttons on the touchpad stopped working in my ubuntu installation. why? [00:11] OerHeks: So is it okay to remove it before building? That way they will just not be re-installed magically when upgrading I guess? [00:11] AlexQ, yes, standard.but go ahead wit your git if you think that gives better support, you only need to rebuild with any kernel update i guess. [00:12] is ubuntu using systemd yet or are their plans to move to it? [00:12] MACscr: its standard since 15.04 [00:12] !systemd | MACscr [00:12] MACscr: systemd is the default init system for Ubuntu 15.04 onwards. For information on transitioning from upstart to systemd, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers [00:13] How do I restart a service if the desktop crashes? [00:13] thanks guys [00:14] SkepticalParrot: What service ? [00:14] service servicename restart [00:14] what do you guys think of systemd timesyncd versus standard ntpd? [00:15] OerHeks: Well, it is only video decoding acceleration, so nothing essential. Actually it did wasn't even installed automatically with Ubuntu (vainfo was reporting a problem when trying to open that file), so I had to look that file up and install it manually, but unfortunately it only provides MPEG-2 for my chipset. Well, I think it actually should have been there automatically with libva itself [00:16] SkepticalParrot: systemctl restart ssdm [00:16] OerHeks: va-driver-all was removed as well. [00:16] MACscr: timesyncd seems nice for cron jobs. i haven't really used ntpd aside from the systemd ntpd service for keeping my clock synced [00:16] wait, i might be getting timesyncd confused with timers [00:17] i am. forget i said anything :P [00:17] ha [00:18] dafykins: I tried it but nothing changed , the liveusb is stil unrecognized. [00:18] well debian 8.2 uses timesyncd versus ntpd and id rather not have to manage configs for two different types. Seems i can just remove timesyncd and use ntpd instead. [00:19] or stop using two distros and maintain a consistent environment ;) [00:20] daftykins: ha. i wish. Unfortunately not everyone else feels the same [00:20] MACscr: bear in mind if you're talking servers, then 15.xx don't belong on servers in production [00:20] i prefer ubuntu, but proxmox uses debian and cpanel uses centos. So i have to use at least those 2 or 3 [00:20] daftykins: right, im only at 14.04 [00:20] *nod* presumably 16.04 will be the first systemd LTS [00:21] yep. not till april for that [00:27] Azi: i take it you're going to wipe Windows entirely? [00:27] Any of you guys ever try to preseed a Ubuntu RAID setup that uses Intel RSTe as a pseudo-controller? [00:27] this seems pretty simple: https://sturmflut.github.io/linux/ubuntu/2015/01/21/installing-ubuntu-15.04-on-baytrail-tablets/ [00:28] Hello people! Is there anyone here who could help me install Ubuntu 15.10 on a laptop that boots 32-bit efi exclusively? It's the Asus X205TA, specifications can be found here: https://www.asus.com/us/Notebooks/ASUS_EeeBook_X205TA/specifications/ I know that there are tutorials online but not for my particular needs and as someone who is relatively new to Linux I am having trouble applying the info I can find online to my situation. [00:29] Anyone know how to restart cinnamon w/o the menu or panel? [00:29] It disappeared after my computer locked from being afk. [00:29] Ctrl + Alt + 1 to get tty1, sign in and issue the poweroff/reboot command? [00:29] Should work [00:30] that's not what was asked ;) [00:30] That's rebooting the whole computer. I can do that if I have to, but honestly, it's easier to sign out and back in (I can hit Super to make the menu appear) [00:30] KageNoOni: you can restart the xserver but this will kill all running programs [00:30] Dafykins: thanks for trying to help, i will try later. [00:30] I just need cinnamon itself restarted. [00:30] KageNoOni: sudo lightdm restart [00:30] And I do have access to the command line as well as the menu, if needed. [00:30] For Gnome it would be sudo restart gdm, something like that should be available for cinnamon too [00:31] Azi: so did you prepare a USB flash drive with 15.10 64-bit desktop on? and are you keeping Windows as i asked earlier? [00:32] Hi, I want to redirect an input port (from internet) to a local port (this is to use a port under 1025 without root). I tried this iptables command ( iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING --src 0/0 --dst 127.0.0.1 -p tcp --dport 25 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 5025 ), but it does not work. What do I do? Thanks for your help. [00:32] Normally I can right-click on the panel, select Troubleshoot, then Restart Cinnamon. [00:32] I tried to scan this port with nmap and it appears filtered [00:33] !pm [00:33] Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. [00:34] apparently I'm doing a stupid idiot tonight... I've been trying to port a solution from 12 to 14 and overwrote the group file, then rebooted... the current (overwritten) group file doesn't have the same login user in the sudo group and I never set a root passwd... how can I get to root? [00:35] cheetahw26_: chroot [00:35] Azi: as above, keep the chat in here please. [00:36] I've used chroot to jail users and to compile a custom linux distro within another, but I don't know how that could help me right now [00:36] Hi, I try to run ubuntu-gnome on a M2 NVMe ssd formated in F2FS. I'm folowing this tutorial: http://www.richud.com/wiki/Ubuntu_1504_Vivid_Install_To_F2FS_Filesystem [00:37] daftykins: I am sorry I do not know how to pm someone, /msg does not work [00:37] _don't_ PM. [00:37] i said don't! [00:37] cheetahw26_: if you have an access to the drive, you can mount it, then edit a file or chroot [00:38] Oh, don't. I am sorry it's late. [00:38] with chroot you will be root [00:38] I made some adaptations (like the first "update-initramfs -u" was not successful but after installing f2fs-tools before copying from the ext4 to the F2FS, it worked. [00:38] ldsh: thats not an ssd but a nand flash orientated filesystem [00:38] eh... it's like an Intel ComputeStick... not sure if I can just boot to another distro and then mount/edit... (that would be easy/awesome) [00:39] in such case, I don't think I'd have to chroot, right? I could just mount the drive and modify the group file... [00:39] My problem now is that it stop at startup with "A job is running for Wait for...en to Quit (time/ no limit) [00:39] cheetahw26_: boot recovery mode [00:40] k1l: yes, friendly to flash file system [00:40] that might work, if there's an option... how, I can't remember off the top of my head? [00:40] ldsh: ext4 works fine on ssds [00:40] !recovery [00:40] If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode [00:41] k1l, in deed, this is why the tutorial first install on EXT4. [00:42] daftykins: So what I did when I was actually getting Ubuntu to boot and all was I installed a seperate boot loader which I downloaded from the internet (bootia32.efi) on the ESP (/efi/boot/). When I did that the installation failed when the installer was executing grub-install === kage_ is now known as KageNoOni === cbarreda is now known as _cb [00:43] Azi: yeah because you're supposed to ignore the supplied and use another instead as per all the guides available; sounds like you might want to read them a lot closer === NegativeFlare_ is now known as NegativeFlare [00:44] trying now... been holding shift, but did see ubuntu text... now stuck at black screen with cursor... eh [00:44] I don't know if this stick has a recover mode built-in... [00:44] cheetahw26_: did you say this is not ubuntu but some custom hacked up thing of your own creation? [00:44] daftykins: I did download the one the guide(s) was suggesting, that is the one that I installed on the ESP [00:44] it's intel, but not a regular computer... [00:44] i know what the compute sticks are [00:44] Azi: yes but that's only to boot the flash drive, you have to install 32-bit GRUB on the actual installation... [00:45] I have this message <> that leads to a [FAILED] [00:45] nope... I did not say that... this is definitely ubuntu 14, just porting over some custom software... I'm just an idiot and manually modified the /etc/group file incorrectly, then rebooted... now I don't have any valid users in the sudo group [00:45] ldsh: remove that from /etc/fstab [00:46] Does it meens that F2FS does not suport this mounting option and I should simply remove it from my fstab, or that there is an other failure before and that it is not even able to remount [00:47] ldsh: 'unrecognised' says 'remove me' to me. [00:47] daftykins, Ok, at worst I can still format the F2FS partition and copy again from the EXT4 (in case it would damage the file system) [00:47] and I never set a root password, so I can't use su - [00:47] daftykins, Ok ;) [00:47] eh... woe is me [00:47] ldsh: i genuinely think it's a big waste of time trying to use this file system. [00:47] cheetahw26_: do those things not support booting a live session? [00:47] daftykins, Oh, and I just saw he removed it in the tutorial, sorry [00:48] they might... and I hope so, I've already done a bunch of work, hate to lose it all... [00:48] daftykins, Yes, as I understood there is no huge advantage on ssd to use it, this is more for the experiment ;) [00:48] try to find a bootable usb live stick and try that I suppose [00:51] Does anybody have any clue why my skype proxxy isnt working? I'm using one from ttp://www.gatherproxy.com/proxylist/country/?c=Australia but when I skype resolve I can still see my original IP address? [00:52] daftykins, now it seems to boot correctly (I replaced the error=remount" by default [00:53] Time to lookat the graphic card now [00:53] ldsh: i'm not surprised === zero is now known as Guest37799 [00:55] But strangely the windows on the other ssd does not seem to be detected. [00:57] 'windows' ? [00:58] daftykins, yes, sometimes It is still useful to have one for some applications. (it's W10 edu) [01:00] is there any way i can change my ubuntu-gnome profile picture or anyhting displayed at the gdm login screen? [01:04] freakyy, There should be [01:04] ldsh: yeah your sentence just didn't make much sense is all :) [01:04] are you talking about for dual boot? [01:05] freakyy, does this help? http://askubuntu.com/questions/310151/how-to-change-account-profile-picture [01:05] daftykins, yes, dual boot (sorry having been unclear) [01:05] ldsh: thanks i know now ;D [01:05] "sudo update-grub" perhaps, although if one installation is EFI and the other is not, then you'll be in trouble [01:07] daftykins, already made the update (needed to find the f2fs partition), I would have expect both OS (W10 and Ubuntu gnome) to use EFI. [01:09] well that's only going to happen if you booted and installed as EFI [01:11] daftykins, seems my ubuntu is Legacy boot and not EFI [01:12] !efi | ldsh here you can find a method to convert it [01:12] ldsh here you can find a method to convert it: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [01:12] daftykins, no /sys/firmware/efi [01:13] have a read of the above [01:13] daftykins, thanks, you helped me troubleshot that really quick ;) [01:15] that's how we roll [01:19] asd [01:20] daftykins: So I tried the liveCD and the internet does work on that. [01:20] Who was it that messaged me earlier to try to help me fix my desktop background issue in Cinnamon? [01:20] leave . [01:20] This was a couple hours ago. [01:20] leave Ubuntu [01:20] matplotlib [01:20] das [01:20] asd [01:21] My Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS has a weird mysql problem with apt, if anyone knows a way around this, I'd be happy!

[01:24] ah, can't help right now, having fun with my own experiments :) [01:24] Am I in the right place? [01:24] dsa [01:24] daftykins: bah! OK [01:24] You're in the right place, but I've no idea how to help with that. [01:24] Freakwent: bear in mind 12.04.4 is out of date, i think it's up to 12.04.5 - likely you need a dist-upgrade first, then maybe your packages are being ruined by PPAs. === CaptainPants_ is now known as asibo2 [01:25] no ppas [01:25] whs [01:26] same error blocks dist-upgrade [01:26] Freakwent: Maybe already have a version of mysql-server installed ( apt-cache policy mysql-serve ) ? Remove the one you do not want . [01:27] I was having an issue where, opening Nautilus, would cause my desktop background to change, and I couldn't change it back. I'm using Cinnamon on Ubuntu 15.10. In case anyone else comes in with the same issue, the solution was a single line in the terminal: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false === kruxXx is now known as krux [01:27] daftykins, Ok, so the fault seems to be from my bios that boots the usb in legacy mode instead of EFI [01:28] Apparently Nautilus and Nemo were both, simultaneously, trying to control my desktop, and flipping that switch gets Nautilus to stop, and lets Nemo continue handling it. [01:28] what package do I need to get ifconfig? Generally how do I discover what package a command is in? [01:28] Hey, simple.... Thanks!

Does anyone know what file contains the serverlist? [02:14] it sounds as if the drivers for the mouse aren't being loaded [02:15] flyn4x4web: #ubuntu-arm [02:15] flyn4x4web: yes, /etc/apt/sources.list [02:15] Greetings Room, wondering if anyone has a method of installing GMA 4500 series drivers for Ubuntu-Gnome 15.10? [02:15] i know its so strange, while im on this live ubuntu all works perfectly, same one is used to install and no mouse or kb. [02:15] Thanks daffykins, Im in north america and its trying to dl from uk [02:16] N1sM: they're already part of the kernel, there's nothing to be done [02:16] im runniing ubuntu from usb and installed from same usb [02:16] Bashing-om: Home backup and installation of 14.04 went successfully. [02:17] Charcoalfire: Outstanding ... much improved, no ? [02:17] mo78: did you install with updates? [02:17] daftykins: It seem's that I have very poor performance. maybe i shouldn't have been so optimistic about installing on older core 2 processor [02:18] N1sM: what're the rest of the specs? something like lubuntu or xubuntu would be better on there, not full ubuntu - Unity is too demanding [02:18] yes I allowed updates to instal during installation [02:18] mo78: then that's something to try without :) [02:18] daftykins: It's mostly the graphics bit, however i believe its partly due to the amount of system ram. [02:18] what are we talking, 2GB? [02:18] Bashing-om: Yes! Everything seems really fast now. [02:18] <[Relic]> any idea where I can see the path settings for things like PYTHON_LIBRARY ? Trying to figure out why this program can't seem them [02:18] 2.2ghz core duo 1M cache and 3gb ddr2 667 [02:18] kk, try basic instal/ then try updates post instal. ty will give it a shot now. [02:19] but one more Q before I try [02:19] N1sM, you can run ubuntu on that, but you'll almost certainly get better performance from lubuntu as it's optimized for low spec and legacy hardware [02:19] if the basic instal dont do it can I select drivers during instal? [02:19] N1sM: that's plenty, i'd just try xubuntu instead [02:20] mo78: what drivers [02:20] Charcoalfire: Pleased it has all worked out . Worth all the effort . [02:20] daftykins: I am currently running Ubuntu Gnome [02:20] for the kb / mouse [02:20] mo78: i don't think that's how it works. [02:20] Bashing-om: :) [02:21] dam lol. kk im out gonna try basic none update install, if it works illl report back. peace all [02:21] anyone knows how "safe" would it be to install linux-image-virtual-lts-wily in a 14.04 server? [02:22] sorin-mihai: i don't see any point at all to run the wily kernel in trusty. [02:22] wow Lbuntu looks horrid :( guess its finally time to dump my laptop for a new one... [02:22] sorin-mihai, I can think of lots of reasons NOT to run the wily kernel in trusty [02:22] is just that virtualmin isn't supporting wily, so I have to stick with trusty for a while... [02:23] daftykins: lbuntu looks like windows 3.1, is that normal? [02:23] N1sM: xubuntu is much nicer. [02:23] daftykins: does xbuntu support cairo-dock and various other things? [02:23] sorin-mihai: i'm not familiar with that, but newer kernels are more relevant for up to date bleeding edge desktop or laptop hardware, not servers. [02:24] N1sM: i don't know [02:24] Will we ever be able to install ubuntu touch on laptops? [02:24] I am using Ubuntu in virtualbox... after doing resize from host (Mac) i still get "This computer has only 190.6 MB disk space remaining" error [02:24] Some of us use touch screens [02:25] kingplusplus: only practical solution is to make it your main install [02:25] :D [02:25] kingplusplus, might be time for spring cleaning: http://howtoubuntu.org/things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu-14-04-trusty-tahr#clean [02:25] Spring cleaning is always fun [02:26] amazoniantoad: not the point, imo. [02:26] kingplusplus: yeah you need to increase the partition size... [02:26] daftykins: I know...I'm just bein salty...I just found out I wont be getting the ubuntu touch for christmas... [02:26] So so salty... [02:26] So salty [02:26] amazoniantoad: ok well please take it to #ubuntu-touch so we don't have to suffer thanks [02:27] daftykins how do i do that please [02:27] daftykins: I will spread my salt as far as the horizon [02:27] kingplusplus: did you use LVM? [02:27] amazoniantoad: no, silence now thanks. [02:27] daftykins please whats LVM? Live Virtual Machine? [02:28] no [02:28] kingplusplus: is the VM booted? [02:28] daftykins yes it is [02:29] kingplusplus: open a terminal and run "sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999" [02:31] datfykins, i have ran it... its still thinking i guess [02:31] to show output [02:31] try "sudo parted -l" on its' own, or open the gparted program [02:33] daftykins am installing gparted... where do i find result of previous command? [02:34] it would print it in the terminal [02:34] daftykins well, gparted opened [02:34] so do you see some unused space on the disk? [02:36] daftykins i see unallocated 17GB [02:36] can you share a screenshot on imgur.com [02:38] So uhm.. is anyone willing to possibly help a fellow out Dual Booting Windows 10 and Ubuntu under UEFI? I've run around to multiple places today searching for an answer and have wound up reinstalling windows etc at least three times. [02:38] Traced, see ##windows for windows installation support. [02:38] daftykins http://imgur.com/a6UaLhb [02:38] Some places say start from scratch with Ubuntu, others say start from windows [02:39] Traced, windows first. always. [02:39] Right. Disregarding the other information now. [02:40] I've Dual Booted Windows 7 and older Ubuntu before but I had a friend helping then as well. [02:40] Traced, win7 and win10 are worlds apart due to uefi ... but you already know that. [02:40] I have a generic Win 10 pro USB and the Ubuntu 15 USB ready to try again as soon as Windows finishes "Getting Ready" -.- [02:41] cfhowlett: Oh, definitely.. XD [02:42] kingplusplus: bit messy, you're going to have to boot a live session in the VM ideally, (as in the ubuntu desktop ISO) then delete the swap and extended partitions (sda5 and sda2) then resize sda1, recreate a swap partition, edit the /etc/fstab file on sda1 and then boot back into it. === musca` is now known as musca [02:43] Would you be willig to walk me through setting the dual boot up cfhowlett? I guess that's a lot to ask.. but I'm about to pull my hair out. :x [02:43] !dualboot | Traced [02:43] Traced: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [02:43] Derp [02:44] I've read someplace that EasyBCD and windows with EUFI are bad and "outdated"..? [02:44] UEFI* [02:44] Traced, gl/sad to say, I decided not to dualboot as I use ubuntu 98% of the time. I installed virtualbox to ubuntu and put win7 in a virtualbox. see !wfm [02:45] Traced: yes don't touch easyBCD [02:46] I'm not a total Linux newbie but as far as setting up a proper Dual Boot (especially with Windows' weird UEFI load.. I'm simply lost [02:46] daftykins: Righto [02:46] it's pretty simple, install 10 with some space left over, or resize the disk... then boot ubuntu as EFI and install beside [02:46] daftykins thanks, is this the only option? My pain is that i deleted the iso and i have limited bandwidth 10gig monthly which is almost out :) [02:46] Traced, best practice: get windows sorted out first. fully installed, updated all that. THEN set up buntu. [02:47] kingplusplus: pretty much [02:47] I saw also that I should disable Fast Startup for Windows until after GRUB2 is set up proper [02:47] True? [02:48] daftykins i wouldn't loose all the installed updates, and files right? it took me sometime to get this os setup [02:48] kingplusplus: no [02:48] ok thanks [02:48] have some faith in the advice given :P [02:48] kingplusplus, but you DO have your stuff backed up anyway ... right? [02:49] certainly wouldn't be hard with a VM :> [02:49] cfhowlett note really anything that matters just the cost of re-installing things in terms of paid bandwidth :) [02:50] Traced: "fast boot" is a Windows Hibernation. such that the hard drive is "in use" . Then ubuntu can not access it . [02:50] daftykins, how about taking a snapshop? [02:51] kingplusplus, understood. Humbly suggest that as you are a buntu user, you should always have an install USB with you as a best practice. I keep my silver Kingston USB quite stylishly mounted on a lanyard around my neck. Cuz you never know ... === sauvin is now known as TemptedFate [02:51] daftykins i mean snapshot.... then moving it to a new guest instance and deleting the one with low disk something [02:52] I'm on 14.04 and looking for a solution to ripping DVDs to mp4s. successfully creating isos from the DVDs but can't convert them. on previous versions I crafted a ffmpeg commandline that did what I wanted, but that's not working for me now. suggestions? [02:52] About to reboot into Linux.. [02:53] Handbrake for ripping works well [02:53] stuartyeates, ffmpeg in 14.04? avconv is the default conversion tool [02:53] ffmpeg is fuu ._. [02:53] fun* [02:54] cfhowlett: thanks. it may be that the commandname is all I need [02:54] stuartyeates, happy2help! fwiw: ffmpeg and libav-tools have kissed and made up. ffmpeg will return to ubuntu in 16.04. yay! [02:56] kingplusplus: i'd copy the full thing before attempting the resize personally [02:56] What will Ubuntu's naming convention after Z is reached become? [02:56] o-o [02:56] cfhowlett: could ffmpeg/libav change be because ffmpeg is in both debian's unstable & testing branches? ;) [02:56] Traced, zesty zulu and then we don't know what's next [02:57] End of everything ;-; [02:57] nah, after z we shift to CJK characters... [02:57] I'm waiting for these updates to finish.. -.- [02:57] zykotick9, as I recall, the problems was personality and leadership incompatibilities on the ffmpeg side. seemingly resolved now ... [02:58] cfhowlett: to me personally, libav vs ffmpeg never made much difference... to others it did ;) i was just making light of the downstream nature of ubuntu there... sorry. [02:59] no harm no foul! === root is now known as Guest60704 === ^CJ^ is now known as ^cj^ [03:23] I have just installed kubuntu 15.10 and the system boots to a black desktop with a mouse cursor; no KDE panels, desktop, etc. are visible. How can I fix this? I can run commands with alt-f2 but that's it. [03:27] wfreeman: alt+f2 to run commands is NOT built into Xorg itself... that sounds like gnome or kde (i'm NOT familiar with kde so don't know if alt+f2 is also run there). it wouldn't do anything on in straight Xorg or my wm... good luck!

[03:36] finetundra: help how? "ssh -x username@host" === bob is now known as Guest2152 [03:36] daftykins: say I connected over putty, then what? [03:36] I'm using dual monitors for the first time. I repositioned the 2nd monitor in the settings to be on the left side of the 1st monitor, but it's still making me get to it by moving the mouse off the right side of the 1st monitor to get to it. can I fix that? [03:37] finetundra: you can't, because PuTTY doesn't have any X libs to draw anything on the Windows host... you have to use something like xming [03:37] I'm gonna get denicked in a momentbut whatevs. I was here a short while ago about dualbooting W10/Ubuntu15. Continuing.. [03:37] daftykins: my bad, I do have xming [03:38] I've installed it alongside Windows and I'm looking at efibootmgr, and I do not see Ubuntu on the list :x [03:38] "drag it to rearrange it's placement" doesn't seem to be doing anything at all. [03:38] Lutero: just enter your EFI and try changing the boot device to Ubuntu / the name of the disk instead of 'Windows Boot Manager' [03:39] AHAH! I had to select which one was primary before it would let me rearrange them! [03:39] aw crap. i hit apply but it put everything in the secondary display because that was the left-most display. lame. [03:40] Here's what it looks like http://pastebin.com/PWxKLBv1 [03:40] .... WTF? I guess "primary display" isn't where it puts my taskbar and such. Can I fix THAT? [03:41] I mean... I guess it's kinda nice to have less clutter on my main display... the clock's on the right side of my left display... [03:41] daftykins: Right. I'll try that then [03:52] aw crap. my applications are all launching on the secondary display because it's on the left. I hope this won't be a problem. I noticed when I changed my game settings from OpenGL to D3D, it would totally crap the bed when I'd try to resize the window. I'd have to close the window because I couldn't see to exit the program. [03:53] oh this is super annoying. resizing windows moves it from primary display to secondary as well. WTF??? [03:53] hm. nope. just that once.

Created a new user, changes nothing. [04:02] almaster, typically find those users using the weixin/wechat channel [04:02] ok thanks, I'd find out it [04:02] alazyworkaholic: you can look in /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log if anything looks fishy [04:03] almaster, http://www.ubuntukylin.com/en_comunity/show.php?lang=en&id=187 [04:03] thanks a lot, [04:04] alazyworkaholic: sounds like you tried to 'sudo startx' at some point - very bad! run this: "sudo chown -R username:username /home/username/" then restart and try GUI login again [04:06] daftykins: ok, I tried startx from the console as it was a suggestion in a forum post (without sudo), and it failed. In /var/log/Xorg.1.log I saw ¨NVIDIA: Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module. Please see the system´s kernel log for additional error messages and consult the NVIDIA README for details¨ [04:06] where is the kernel log?

[04:22] alazyworkaholic: yep it's new and improved [04:22] alazyworkaholic: if you havent tested already, create a brand new user and login with that [04:23] alazyworkaholic: then install kde and try with that. if kde works, the problem is gnome-shell/compiz something.. [04:23] Sonderblade: that's a horrible suggestion [04:23] throwing another DE on will ruin most peoples setups [04:24] why would it? [04:24] replacing things they share, pretty common. [04:24] daftykins: i purged & reinstalled nvidia as you said. No change. [04:24] rebooted too [04:25] and still no go with guest sessions / alternate users? [04:25] daftykins: shrug, multiple de:s work for me [04:26] daftykins: Yes, tried that. Exactly the same behaviour. [04:26] Sonderblade: depends how they're installed. [04:26] alazyworkaholic: probably time to reinstall some things, dunno without digging through logs more [04:26] daftykins: and i've had several issues in the past with gnome-shell/unity not getting past the display manager, while kde was working fine [04:27] that's nice, but still not good advice imo.

[05:07] yep SeriouslyLaugh [05:07] because ETS2 does not have a native Linux version [05:07] Uhh no, I'm using Steam's Linux client [05:07] well they have a linux beta daftykins [05:08] not on steam? [05:08] at first I thought it was the game, but I tried playing some others, it has the same result [05:08] yeah on Steam? [05:08] i wonder if it may be worth looking into installing proprietary drivers for that GPU [05:09] if you have not yet done so [05:09] Check again daftykins, it has it for SteamOS+Linux [05:09] Already did SeriouslyLaugh, I had issues when trying elementary os, and moved to Ubuntu [05:09] didn't see anything on the product page, but it doesn't matter - i don't consider game issues worthy of my time [05:09] Already on proprietary drivers I'm afraid [05:10] hm yeah I've reached the extent of my comfort zone on this issue -- maybe ask over in the linux gaming channel Excl [05:10] i think it is #gamingonlinux [05:11] it supot gnacktrack [05:11] yeah on v340.96 proprietary SeriouslyLaugh [05:11] it is in fact elementary how much a waste of time running elementary is :) [05:11] I have been trying to figure out the best way to save a few monitor configurations. I have a laptop with two docks. One I use at work, with one ext monitor and the laptop monitor itself, to the left. The other is at home where I don't use the laptop monitor, but I have two external. [05:11] i can install linux on my playbook [05:11] true daftykins, but it is a pretty OS [05:11] i disagree, and use it as a daily driver. but that's neither here nor there. [05:12] I don't know if it is possible to save config based on connected monitors. IT seems online that some people say this is what is supposed to be, but it does not always work, it seems to be based on the way the docking is connected. [05:12] Excl: you're beginning to make me think you still use it :P [05:13] hey guy i need help plzzzz [05:13] Also one big issue I have is that if I have the laptop monitor off, and I sleep, and then remove the laptop from the dock, if I turn it back on usually it stays black and I have to force poweroff. [05:13] (Lubuntu 15.04) I can't install SMplayer. I get broken dependencies, which I've listed here: https://bpaste.net/raw/dac5cd23e3b6 [05:13] Nlh1901 I don't understand your question -- did you have an issue installing? [05:13] anyway, does anyone have any monitor config software they would recommend? [05:13] Do I have the wrong kernel version? [05:14] !lubuntu | asdopas [05:14] asdopas: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [05:15] That channel is too slow, and besides, Lubuntu uses the Ubuntu kernel base. I thought I'd get a faster answer here, especially since I don't think LXDE is the issue. [05:15] can i install linux on my blayberry playbook?, thanks [05:15] folks here aren't too keen on helping with any distribution that isn't pure Ubuntu, asdopas === sireebob is now known as Yuna [05:15] But I don't get it. This is an issue with APT dependencies. It would be the same if it was pure Ubuntu. [05:16] yeah i agree. but it helps to keep the channel clutter down. there are approx 2k users here at any given time. [05:16] At least tell me why I'm getting the "but...is to be installed" [05:16] I don't want to wait for hours on #lubuntu === sireebobSF is now known as Yuna === JjJ is now known as Guest68078 [05:17] SeriouslyLaugh: you're wrong, flavours are supported just fine [05:17] !flavours [05:17] !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu. [05:17] I abandoned it for Ubuntu 3 weeks ago lol daftykins [05:17] daftykins then can we update the !lubuntu factoid? [05:17] no, because the specific channels still exist, but here is also fine. === sireebobSF is now known as sireebob [05:19] ...ok [05:20] For some reason, the added strings after the version number are throwing APT off. libgcc1 1:5.1~rc1-0ubuntu1.1 should satisfy libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1) [05:20] I think [05:20] i've seen people ask for help on each of those flavors and told to ask in their respecitve channels, so i'm just a little confused on what the rules are [05:21] Are you really going to die on this hill SeriouslyLaugh? I'm not asking anything super complex [05:21] haha nope, I just like helping and I feel bad when I give someone the wrong advice [05:22] daftykins do you have any suggestions? I remember you from when you helped me with the rtl8192cu (Belkin USB dongle) and NVIDIA ancient video card kernel module mix up. [05:22] hey can someone answer my question as to weather i should replace ubuntu 14.04.1 with ubuntu mate or INSTAL MATE INTO 14.04.1 [05:23] I am using a custom apt-server. I want if the apt-server downgrades a package the client should also do it. How can I do that? [05:24] SeriouslyLaugh: if you do, then why do you keep trying to give people stuff you've just googled that often doesn't even apply? === Excl_ is now known as Excl [05:24] asdopas: i suspect you're getting offered an smplayer or package deps from some form of PPA that's ruining things [05:24] Does anybody have ubuntu knowledge to give me [05:24] jaydro: this is a support channel, not an experimental memory transfer lab unfortunately [05:25] should i replace 14.04 lts with mate or just install it onto it [05:25] So I have a package p with version 3. p-3 in server. Local pc is using p-3. Then the devs upload p-2 to apt-server. Now how can I install p-2 without mentioning the version name? Dont want to mention version name because devs can upload any version anytime. [05:26] heyy [05:26] daftykins no one here is getting paid, mate. we're all trying to help. relax. [05:27] yeah i've been here for years helping :) i know that [05:27] i'm also perfectly relaxed, i just find it annoying when you give bad advice off google results [05:28] daftykins: I tried --remove on the SMplayer PPAs I had, but it didn't work [05:28] Still getting the unmet dependencies error [05:28] !ppapurge [05:28] To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [05:28] asdopas: share what "apt-cache policy smplayer" reports [05:29] Wait, I remember this...I can use apt-cache policy smplayer pastebinit [05:29] | pastebinit, sorry [05:29] sure can [05:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/13554589/ [05:30] Hi - any ideas for how to use ubuntu on machines that have password protected BIOS ? No live-usb will work then... I am trying virtual-box on a usb, but cannot get a proper full screen... any other altenatives ?

[05:31] asdopas: now try the same for one of the deps it was trying to get that's newer [05:31] When I try to enable a third monitor in ubuntu I get a pop up on the screen which is "invisible" (things won't render in it) I would guess it has some error message that I can't see.

I have a tiny bit of experience with 3 monitors -- a la windows and easy worship. [05:32] So apt-cache policy libgcc1? [05:32] Or any of them?

I have never seen a labtop that could do dual graphics, let alone 3. [05:34] it has two monitor outputs, the last output is the laptop screen itself [05:34] Pinkamena_D: let me look that up.

[05:37] Pinkamena_D: you do have the driver for that installed yes? [05:37] uio: :-( [05:37] daftykins: Yeah, about that..."libgcc1 is already the newest version." [05:37] for the intel card? no [05:37] (I mean, the linux driver, but not a third party one) [05:37] Pinkamena_D: this may/may not help: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/13815/Intel-Graphics-Drivers-for-Linux- [05:38] Pinkamena_D: it looks like that may need the intel driver -- it's worth a try..... [05:38] asdopas: mmm gonna need some brighter folks then i think [05:38] hmm [05:38] Blue1: NO! [05:38] Pinkamena_D: do not do the above [05:38] never, ever install anything after the fact for intel graphics. [05:38] woah, ok [05:38] it will make a mess of your system and is a complete waste of time [05:39] as long as your install is up to date that's the best you can really do [05:39] daftykins: good to know. I have had to install drivers for ati and they are a pain. [05:39] those sneaky people over at intel! grr [05:40] heh [05:40] yeah AMD and nvidia require / or at least can use proprietary drivers added after, but it's not really the approach for intel [05:40] i mean sometimes you can get better support with newer kernels... [05:40] but sandybridge is pretty old [05:40] i should know, i'm typing from one [05:41] but yeah, I had three monitors working a loooong time ago, but something has happened in the middle and it stopped. I only use two monitors actually, but I want the third active because if the laptop screen it not running, then if I wake the computer after undocking, the screen never comes on at all. [05:43] while asking the question a new error came up from the display config. a pop up box comes which says "Failed to apply configuration: %s" - Looks like someone forgot to provide the actual error message to print/printf? \ [05:43] However the error looks like it is generic, no search results look like my situation exactly... [05:43] interesting [05:43] hey guys... maybe it would be a good idea to take 100mbit mirrors off the mirror list, or at least off the list of those the main web page keeps automatically directing you to [05:43] tried 2-3 times kept getting shit downloads when just downloading the normal way, until i realized it kept picking a 100mbit mirror :( [05:44] switched to a better canada mirror and all is well [05:44] /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER hirak whcruahadeso [05:44] hello [05:45] remove the space before /msg hirak -- and choose a different password ;) [05:45] the above is a verify link, not a password. [05:45] Juggie: no idea what you mean by that, but nobody here is in charge of mirrors - try #ubuntu-mirrors [05:45] daftykins, just 100mbit mirrors are too slow at this point :) [05:46] one user can saturate that :( [05:46] I did some more digging, daftykins, here's what I found... [05:46] "libqt4-dbus : Depends: libqtdbus4 (= 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3~ubuntu6) but 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3~ubuntu6.1 is to be installed" [05:46] but the main site was automatically selecting it for me. [05:46] apt-show-versions libqtdbus4 gives me... [05:46] libqtdbus4:amd64/vivid-security 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3~ubuntu6.1 uptodate [05:46] For some reason, it wants ~ubuntu6 and not ~ubuntu6.1 [05:47] Juggie: so you think because you'd get 10MB/sec download off one, that it's somehow slow? [05:47] anyone know the package that contains minicom [05:47] apt-cache search minicom [05:50] daftykins, its not slow if im the only downloader [05:50] but i kept getting 200kb/s [05:50] changed mirrors, downloaded at 15mb/s [05:50] big difference [05:51] and imo 100mbit would get saturated way too easily [05:51] given the small list of canadian mirrors [05:51] hence why i debate the purpose of listing it :) [05:52] Hello? [05:53] Anyone on that has experienced problems with Ubuntu running from an SSD ? [05:54] Juggie: it is if it can rate limit per user... so i think too many assumptions are being made [05:54] Juggie: oh well, talking about it in the wrong channel won't get anywhere as i say [05:55] tryit: sure [05:55] daftykins, np... i made comment in -mirrors [05:55] I have 15.10 installed on a 240GB SSD and after using it ok for a month or so it now fails boot [05:56] BUT [05:56] when I boot 14.04 LTS it mounts ok and is fully accessible === mohit is now known as onano [05:57] tryit: err, the two versions on the same SSD, or? [05:57] no ... 14.04 is on a sata 320GB spindle ... sdb1 ... ssd is sda1 [05:58] next question is I have a lvm that is a external HD that i cant mount [05:58] why doesn't lm-sensors detect all my sensors? [05:58] I have one for my video card and CPU, but it can't find them. [05:59] grub2 set it all up and it worked fine for about 2 months ... then all pssst 15.10 just failed out [06:00] Canon: that doesn't make sense [06:00] try and rephrase [06:00] gives attempt to read write outside hd(0) [06:00] or something close to taht === Near is now known as Guest58769 [06:02] external HD thats a lvm theat when i try to mount it tells me the it cant be mounted [06:03] Canon: you know you need to look for the logical volume name, you can't mount the /dev/sdx# partition number that's reported as being LVM?

I tried to load by editing the grub with nomodeset by pressing ctrl+e and then then changing it and then pressing ctrl+x [09:43] but not only nothiing changed but also after the restart I see nomodeset is removed from the grub, the investigations show that the hard drive is not failing and there is no hardware issue [09:43] motaka2: you still messing on that issue motaka2: why dont you just install 14.04.3? [09:44] lotuspsychje: I dont want to reinstall the softwares once again. I also dont have a hard drive to backup things [09:45] motaka2: did you try booting a previous kernel yet? [09:45] lotuspsychje: I dont know how to do that [09:45] motaka2: you know howto enter grub right? [09:46] motaka2 esc and old all kernel in boot [09:46] and use one [09:46] lotuspsychje: is the the page shooing each time at startup ? [09:47] motaka2: normally grub should not show every boot, but probably yes [09:47] nikolov@ubuntu-ivan:~$ inxi -F [09:47] System: Host: ubuntu-ivan Kernel: 4.3.0-040300-generic x86_64 (64 bit) motaka2 onstall 4.3 [09:47] lotuspsychje: I should choose previous linux versions ?

I.e. I want to force myself to take breaks, and would like a cronjob that freezes the mouse/keyboard for 15 mins? [09:55] motaka2: yes previous linux kernels [09:55] motaka2: choose a previous one and press enter on it [09:55] lotuspsychje: It is previous linux VERSIONS not KERNELS [09:56] motaka2: tell us what you see in the list [10:00] lotuspsychje: I took a picture an dI am waiting for dropbox ...

I tries two 3.2.* and they were the same [10:10] none of them worked [10:10] motaka2: your system is really broke mate, install 14.04.3 clean [10:10] motaka2: you have a broken upgrade, cant enter recoverymode and cant enter previous kernels [10:10] lotuspsychje: Ok, wil TJ- come here today ?

[10:24] cfhowlett: What should I do? I dont know [10:24] as SO many have suggested ... clean install. [10:25] cfhowlett: I cant do that. Doing that is simple but I will lose all my data [10:25] don't format your /home and you should be fine. [10:26] but you backed up all data first anyway, so ... should not be a problem [10:26] my 15.10 installation hangs quite often, when shutting down; how can i find out what makes it hang? [10:26] SCHAAP137: F1 to see text shutdown errro? [10:26] F1 at the moment of hanging? [10:26] cfhowlett: So can you guide me step by step? I have a 14.04 LIVE dvd, should I use that ?

I'm trying to mount a CIFS-share automatically at login with pam_mount, but I'm getting this error message in auth.log: "Luser volume for /home/jni/Music is missing options that are required by global ". Anybody got an idea what that option could be? I've pasted my .pam_mount.conf.xml to http://pastebin.com/hJVC1cDB [10:27] SCHAAP137: or tail -f /var/log/syslog and shutdown [10:27] hmm, good idea [10:27] motaka2, that'll work. use the same partitions you currently have. format all EXCEPT your /home [10:28] but FIRST backup your /data. DO NOT proceed before you have your backup completed [10:29] /quit [10:29] SCHAAP137: you can also edit grub "quiet splash" to "" to textboot/text shutdown [10:29] /ragequit [10:29] :) [10:29] strange behaviour [10:30] can ubuntu be downgraded easily or can I install and older version over a newer version?

Unless you don't mind all the beta testing and breakages. [10:46] lotuspsychje: install what ? some packages were upgraded and linux is not working. what if next time this happens again ? [10:47] cfhowlett: I mind i've been dealing with these problems for months now [10:47] did and accidental upgrade to 14.10 [10:47] Dat, doh! [10:47] motaka2: upgrades can always turnout badly, thats why you need to create backups [10:48] motaka2: buy a cheap hd/usb to keep your files on [10:48] lotuspsychje: my windows laptop is so slow. I dont have money to buy a hard drive. and OSes break all the time :( [10:49] hi nice day [10:49] motaka2: install lubuntu on your slow laptop to speed it up and backup your data to there [10:50] motaka2: there are tons of things to try, and you keep talking here without action [10:54] lotuspsychje: my laptops DVD and usb ports are not working and it doesnt have free space in there [10:54] lotuspsychje: I will do some thing about it. Dont worry [10:55] Hi I have this in my auth.log (Ubuntu 14.04): http://paste.ubuntu.com/13556599/ [10:56] Is that something to be afraid of? Or what does is mean, I am new in Linux administration, and I just search for something weired [10:56] eahmedshendy: don't worry [10:56] eahmedshendy: it just means the reverse dns of the person accessing your host doesn't match [10:57] ikonia: what do you mean by that? there is someone accessing our server from .etisalat.com.eg ? [10:57] why are you hiding the IP address ? [10:58] eahmedshendy: but yes, it means someone is trying to access your host from that IP address, however the reverse DNS map doesn't match it [10:58] Because I don't know if that host is related to us or not [10:58] I will read about reverse DNS map, to understand it [10:58] ikonia [10:59] There is also another warning here I didn't get yet, "[mysqld] warning: can't get client address: Connection reset by peer" [10:59] get == understand [10:59] eahmedshendy: someone is trying to connect to the mysql port [11:00] But this is authentication message? I mean someone fails to connect to the mysql database using a specific password? [11:00] ikonia [11:01] it's a message from mysqld it's nothing to do with the password [11:03] ikonia: Ok, thank you [11:03] ./var/www/html/wp-content/uploads is the upload_path, what chmod should this folder be? I gave it 775 which fixed the issue i was having, in terms of security what should it be? wordpress [11:03] eahmedshendy: you'll get better responses from people if you don't cross post the same question in 4 - 5 channels at the same time [11:04] Carlos0611: the web server owner (apache) needs to have write access [11:04] that is the risk you can't avoid [11:04] its for where wordpress uploads its themes and files [11:04] ikonia: :), I don't who what channel will have the information for my issue, but I will take your recommendation [11:04] Carlos0611: I know what it's there for [11:04] but that doesn't change what I just said [11:05] oh lol [11:05] k so 775 it is [11:05] that seems too open [11:05] that's having the group open [11:24] Hi. I ran an lvmresize but it's taking forever, any thought on how to see the progress ? === bleh is now known as thms [11:29] Is it possible to create a wifi hotspot with custom network IP address in ubunut ? [11:29] *ubuntu [11:31] Currently when I do the "Use as hostpot", a hotspot gets created with 10.42.0.0/24 IP range. But I am already on an ethernet network with same range. So I need to use different network address for the hotspot [11:31] it's creating the hotspot with that range because you're on that network [11:31] you'd need to bring up a different interface do host the other range [11:32] there maybe a setting within network manager to change the range of the hotspot [11:32] obviously they are different interfaces [11:32] wlan0 and eth0 [11:32] ikonia: yes, and I am looking for what that setting is [11:32] where to do that and how [11:33] no idea without looking [11:33] I suspect it's taking the range of your WIFI interface to extend it [11:33] range [11:33] thats how it's creating the hotspot, to join in to the existing rang [11:35] hi [11:35] this is interesting, if you set up the hotspot like this, you maybe able to set the range inthe ipv4 tab as it looks like it uses dnsmasq to host the dhcp range [11:35] http://askubuntu.com/questions/180733/how-to-setup-an-access-point-mode-wi-fi-hotspot [11:36] have you got to be very good at programmimg for google code in [11:36] nub: pardon ? [11:37] did I miss anything ? [11:37] ikonia: [11:37] this is interesting, if you set up the hotspot like this, you maybe able to set the range inthe ipv4 tab as it looks like it uses dnsmasq to host the dhcp range [11:38] http://askubuntu.com/questions/180733/how-to-setup-an-access-point-mode-wi-fi-hotspot [11:38] have a read on that, and see if you can set the hotspot that way and set the ipv4 settings, I think dnsmasq will use those settings to setup the range [11:38] (I'm not %100 sure without looking myself) [11:38] Hey, I have a question. I was wondering if there was a free alternative to Landscape, as I will not be using it for a company, but instead for my own use with a dozen computers at max. [11:39] nope [11:39] it's a comercial product [11:39] Drat. [11:39] there are other tools you can use, such as an ENC with puppet (for example) [11:39] Ok.

[12:58] I checked [12:59] He does [12:59] checked what ? how ? [12:59] Kiborg: loginto the terminal with that user (ctrl+alt+t) then make "mv .config .configbackup" [12:59] then relogin to that user. [12:59] Under the additional drivers, the noveau are chosen [12:59] noveau is not an additional driver [13:00] it's part of the kernel [13:00] I'm not really confident with the information you're giving me [13:00] Sorry about that [13:00] the nvidia "drivers" are system wide and confiurd in the xorg server, [13:00] I suggest you skip to the solution as k1l suggested [13:01] remove your user config from the broken user, login, make sure the problem is gone, and then rebuild your personal settings [13:07] did anyone see that o_O?

[14:04] Dat, http://xubuntu.org/news/screen-locking-in-xubuntu-14-04/ [14:05] Dat what you can try: use rsync and 'screen' to make your backups, you can then even logout without interrupting the backup process, so i guess the screensaver would not harm either === Administrator is now known as Guest60844 [14:07] I'm on 14.04.3 is [14:08] How === HoloIRCUser4 is now known as hipitihop_ [14:09] cfhowlett: sorry got called away [14:09] cfhowlett: I am using kubuntu [14:09] Dat, http://xubuntu.org/news/screen-locking-in-xubuntu-14-04/ [14:09] cfhowlett: ok i'll check that out [14:10] MonkeyDust: sounds like I'd need to write a script and crontab [14:10] MonkeyDust: probably some sort of auto-mount to my nas to [14:16] cfhowlett: looks like I may not even have xscreensaver so I might be safe on that [14:16] Black Arch or Knoppix?

[16:04] Exagone313, sure. but tmux is cooler anyway. [16:05] Rafibd01717: "Purging" is your "completely remove package" action you'relooking for.

[16:08] actually after installing KVM is it essential to have an OS on it [16:08] agent_white, actually I get nothing http://paste.ubuntu.com/13559831/ [16:09] SchrodingersScat, can you let me know what to do now?

[16:12] and as we gave the ISO image of Ubuntu [16:12] then it starts doing it [16:13] Rafibd01717: you can move it somewhere else if you're concerned about losing it, but it should be one line of text. [16:13] ok now will do it installation on it then will be back to you [16:13] sachin: If you're trying to figure out your Android SDK, join #android... or ##android. I forget which.

[16:17] you mean mongo is now completely purged? [16:17] Rafibd01717: Revoke the gpg key. [16:18] agent_white, I am not sure about what you are talking? [16:18] it should have been removed after the apt-get purge, you can use find to look for straggling directories though. find / -iname "*mongodb*" [16:18] what is gpg key? [16:18] and how to revoke it? [16:18] Rafibd01717: In the first step of your tutorial, you add a gpg key for the new repo. [16:18] yes [16:18] Rafibd01717: This allows you to talk to that repo. Looks like you added in the key... 7F0CEB10 [16:18] as I am removing mongo why should I revoke it? [16:18] ok [16:19] now why should I revoke it? [16:19] Is there a way to incorporate ubuntu's workspace view (for workspace management) on Xubuntu? [16:19] Because you're no longer using it. (It was added for that repo) [16:20] agent_white, I see. [16:20] Rafibd01717: `gpg --edit-key 7F0CEB10` [16:20] how can I revoke it? [16:20] Read my command above.

[16:23] Rafibd01717: If that didn't work, do `gpg --list-keys` and find the one relating to mongo. [16:23] it gave me this... http://paste.ubuntu.com/13560079/ [16:23] agent_white, [16:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/13560079/ [16:24] Rafibd01717: `sudo apt-key del 7F0CEB10` [16:25] doing this agent_white [16:26] is overprovisioning still relevant for ssd drives? should i keep some amount of unallocated space?

[17:21] lotuspsychje, likely not, would have been more practical, but I'll just use another one for now, I don't feel like compiling drivers and stuff on a sunday morning [17:21] ro: what do you see in "ls -la /run/user/1000/gvfs" [17:21] but then again, I hate it when machines win on me so...

Does anyone know under what user the cron-apt program installs its cron? [17:29] ro: lets go back and try your original idea [17:29] ro: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1 conv=notrunc [17:30] ro: oops, sorry ignore that [17:30] gave you the wrong sectors [17:30] Redblue: 42 [17:30] ikona: could this be a firmware thing? as someone else suggested? [17:30] ro: I don't think so [17:31] ro: run the dd command I gave you, lets see what it does first [17:31] ro: don't forget sudo [17:31] blb31750, that's a lot, I think I know 10 at the most, and only understand 3 of them if any [17:31] does ubu use systemd in 15.10? [17:31] jtreminio: under the user who's using it? [17:31] ikona: alright. http://pastebin.com/pAPJEMUh [17:31] blb31750: ubuntu uses systemd since 15.04 [17:32] ok, thanks [17:32] ikona: fdisk -l shows me part 1,2 and 5. Maybe a reboot will help? [17:32] jtreminio: is the tool meant for creating a cron to get automatic updates on the user right? [17:32] ro: try it, it shouldn't matter though, unless it's mounted [17:33] ikona: sure. when in doubt reboot haha. be back in 5 [17:34] !manual | Redblue maybe memorize some here? [17:34] Redblue maybe memorize some here?: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [17:34] lotuspsychje: its cron job wasn't showing up when I listed them by user; however, I've decided to use anacron instead. Thanks though! [17:34] jtreminio: ok good luck === ffio is now known as nerd [17:34] lotuspsychje, will check it out, thanks [17:35] ro: can you tell us how your ssd is connected to pc, changed anything in bios? [17:36] lotuspsychje, sorry to be a pain about this but, how would one file a kernel panic for example? I can't do ubuntu-bug since its panicked... will it detect the panic if I run it after I rebooted without the troublesome hardware? [17:36] nevermind [17:36]
  • what's the name of files browser application if I wanted to run from command line? [17:36] lets make ubuntu-bug work first... [17:36] ikona: fdisk -l shows part 1,2,5 [17:37] ro: it's almost as if it's not being written to, you could have a duff drive [17:37] Li: gksu nautilus [17:37]
  • lotuspsychje: what is that? [17:37] Li: the file browser you asked [17:38] ikona: I had a sneaking suspicion that drive was broken. Anyway we can confirm with a test? I know you can do memtest for ram. is there something similar for hdds? [17:38] ro: can you do a more agressive test, how big is this disk, 500mb ? [17:38] ikona: 512 gb [17:38]
  • lotuspsychje: The program 'gksu' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [17:38]
  • sudo apt-get install gksu [17:39] Li: you can just start nautilus from terminal without gksu also [17:39]
  • lotuspsychje: however it ran when I typed nautilus alone [17:39] ro: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=25m [17:39] ro: that will put zeros across the whole drive [17:39] if that doesn't work, your drive is not being written to, it will take some time though, so be patient [17:40] ikona: 'invalid number 25m' i think m needs to be 'M'? [17:40] sorry, M yes [17:41] ikona: got it.

[18:42] i would not recommend using standard ancient FTP on a server in 2015 regardless, Ricky_Rat5005 [18:44] daftykins - I need either tftp or ftp for Freepbx. What would you recommend for that? [18:45] never used any phone systems. [18:45] so it's solely for the software and config update provision via trivial FTP? [18:45] Ricky_Rat5005: oh your removal fail could be down to not stopping the service beforehand? [18:46] Yes, either tftp or ftp, but polycom phones use ftp by default I believe. [18:47] Error: alternatives are not set up properly [18:47] Error: nvidia mode can't be enabled [18:47] when I try this: sudo prime-select nvidia [18:47] lotharn: [18:47] lotuspsychje: [18:47] sorry lotharn :D [18:47] daftykins ok, I will check that. But need one of the two. [18:47] AbuDhar: wich driver your on now? [18:48] 304.131 [18:49] I don't need bumblebee btw? [18:49] since it is intel + nvidia [18:49] AbuDhar: no, bumblebee is outdated [18:49] oh [18:49] AbuDhar: nvidia-prime replaces it [18:49] should I try the 352.63 version ? [18:50] AbuDhar: you just had that version active no? [18:50] no I think that was 355 [18:50] AbuDhar: try 346 perhaps [18:50] Hey guys. Can someone help me? I cant connect through SSH to my server, even though trough my provider, which offers a "Console view" mode I can do it without problem! I am using in both same user and password... I dont understand! [18:50] if that shows [18:50] lotuspsychje: it's not listed. [18:51] AbuDhar: and you cant enable performance mode on 340? [18:51] dbugger: VPS from who? [18:51] nope not on 304.. it gives me Error: alternatives are not set up properly [18:51] AbuDhar: weird [18:51] should I try 340? [18:51] this 304 is a legacy driver [18:51] AbuDhar: you can try [18:52] daftykins, DigitalOcean [18:52] trying.. also have to check BIOS this time :D [18:52] dbugger: ah same here. so you still receive the login prompt when you SSH in? [18:53] daftykins, I get a "Permission denied" [18:53] but on the console of the website, I can log without a problem [18:53] dbugger: yep, is this the root user+pass they email you with on setup? [18:54] daftykins, I reset the root password. I logged into the "Console View", logged in, and changed it [18:54] daftykins, Now I can keep logging in on the website, but not in my local terminal [18:54] right, but it's root you're using via SSH? [18:54] yes, Im doing "ssh root@1.2.3.4" [18:54] !root | dbugger [18:54] dbugger: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo === Piper-Off is now known as Monthrect [18:55] what is even weirder, my public SSH is stored on authenticated_keys, so I should even get the password prompt [18:55] dbugger: ok, restart sshd from the website console login to start [18:55] dbugger: I guess you are awawre of that, already? [18:55] daftykins, ok... [18:55] bekks: DO VPS' unfortunately come with root login as default [18:55] bekks, please, im confused enough :) [18:55] dbugger: "authenticated_keys" is wrong: authorized_keys is correct. [18:55] bekks, yeah, that. Typing mistak [18:56] daftykins, Im gonna try restart sshd [18:56] hola soy nuevo [18:56] dbugger: also for completeness, try just 'ssh IP' [18:57] actually that'll try your current user; maybe 'ssh IP -u root' [18:57] daftykins, Ok, Ill try [18:57] daftykins, -u does not exist [18:57] er make that -l root [18:57] heh ;) [18:58] I uninstalled makedev and now unity, networking and many core applications are missing. How do I reinstall it from a livecd? [18:58] anon123: with a chroot [18:58] I tried chroot [18:58] apt-get is broken [18:58] anon123: did you mount --bind /run ? [18:58] daftykins, -l gives the same result [18:59] you probably didn't apply a working resolv.conf for networking to work [18:59] daftykins, and I completely restarted the machine. Same result [18:59] try it again ;) [18:59] daftykins, what do you want me to try? [18:59] Hello ^^ can i ask help with ubuntu here? [18:59] dw the above was to anon123 [18:59] Noxx_: yes [18:59] dbugger: ok, try doing it from another user on your home system so rule out your existing user config [19:00] ahh great ty :) [19:00] I used http://www.webupd8.org/2014/01/how-to-fix-non-bootable-ubuntu-system.html as a guide [19:00] daftykins, I have no other user in my server [19:00] so make one [19:00] oh, on the local one [19:00] or test from the guest session [19:00] for i in /sys /proc /run /dev /dev/pts; do sudo mount --bind "$i" "/mnt$i"; done [19:00] Is my root ok? [19:00] still not working lotuspsychje. tried with 340 [19:00] dbugger: check logs at both ends too, remember you can ssh with more debug output by adding '-vv' [19:01] dbugger: yeah would't hurt for a test [19:01] AbuDhar: thats weird mate [19:01] EricC^^: for i in /sys /proc /run /dev /dev/pts; do sudo mount --bind "$i" "/mnt$i"; done [19:01] lotuspsychje: http://askubuntu.com/questions/451335/cant-switch-anymore-from-intel-to-nvidia-gpu [19:01] looking at this [19:01] anon123: ok [19:01] most optimus implementations don't offer switching ;) [19:02] daftykins, this happened: http://pastebin.com/nn2PuHdS [19:02] I remember getting it to work with bumblebee back then. [19:02] daftykins, I tried from my local root, and it did not work neither === Guest70729 is now known as qdii [19:02] dbugger: i bet you've got remote login via password disabled in sshd_config [19:02] daftykins, how can I check that? [19:03] /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the console web login [19:03] AbuDhar: did you install bumblebee before? [19:03] I've tried installing either/both tftpd and vsftpd... both hang during install when it says "Setting up (vsftpd or tftpd). I let them sit for hours but they just sit there. [19:03] yeah long time ago.. not on this ubuntu install [19:03] but on this machine. [19:04] AbuDhar: or any drivers from nvidia site? [19:04] uhm how does one register on ubuntu forums lol? [19:04] No other programs have issues with apt-get that I have installed. [19:04] hmm I don't remember if I tried from their site [19:04] guys, is there any program that can help me in browsing folders in ubuntu server easily, I'm facing a problem that I had to write each time command for moving folders inside the server [19:04] is there any solution that can make it easily for me [19:04] game0: ranger [19:04] AbuDhar: maybe try that 352 then? [19:04] UI [19:04] lotuspsychje: trying. [19:05] game0: How about stating the actual problem? [19:05] daftykins, what am I looking on that file? [19:05] game0: learning to use CLI is a very useful skill, alternatively, you can mess around with sftp. [19:05] game0: use tab completion [19:05] dbugger: pastebin it [19:05] game0: or use mc (midnight commander) [19:05] game0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranger_%28file_manager%29 [19:05] * Noxx_ slaps Noxx_ around a bit with a large fishbot [19:06] my pc is windows version [19:06] the easier you try and make computing tasks for yourself, the easier it'll be for you to forget how to do it properly when the time comes :) [19:06] daftykins, Good I hate this console view... [19:06] and I want to browse files in my ubuntu server easily [19:06] daftykins, I think I saw "permitrootlogin no" [19:06] dbugger: "cat file | nc termbin.com 9999" would be ace [19:06] dbugger: heh that might have had a # in front though right? [19:07] game0: stop asking. read the answers first [19:08] daftykins, it has no comment. Im going to change it to "Yes" [19:09] dbugger: i'd actually advise you create a standard user instead, with sudo rights [19:09] for security purposes remote root login = a no no [19:10] daftykins, indeed, but for the time being, Ill leave that on the todo list. I need to get something done.. [19:10] dbugger: on ubuntu dont use root. login as user and use sudo where needed [19:10] ok, it's two commands though ;) [19:10] !sudo | dbugger [19:10] dbugger: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !pkexec (for older releases: !gksu and !kdesudo). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [19:10] he knows, this is a digitalocean VPS where it's standard to be email'd a root password [19:11] daftykins, it worked! [19:12] daftykins, now Id like to know, why it asked me the password, when my public key was inside "authorized keys" ... =P [19:12] not working. [19:12] !details | AbuDhar [19:12] AbuDhar: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [19:14] how do i register on the ubuntu forums :P the register thingy's arent as normal on the site there lol [19:15] Noxx_: #ubuntuforums for questions regarding the forums. that is where the admins and mods hang out [19:16] oh ok thx i thought i could post questions for me understanding buntu im a noob at linux Oo [19:17] well, registering at a forums is not really an ubuntu issue :) running the browser on windows would have the same issue, i guess [19:18] dbugger: you're on your own there, i don't do key auth [19:18] teh problem i have is i got me a 160g pata disk and i cant get it formated like normal it gives me 2 partitions while i want to completly whipe the disk then i get errors that the disk doesnt exist [19:18] dbugger: reloaded the ssh service after including the key? [19:19] exit [19:19] Noxx_: with what program? [19:19] exit [19:19] Noxx_: can you rephrase it, using interpunctuation? [19:19] just a sec im checking i tryed to do this with disks [19:20] Noxx_: well, try "gparted" [19:20] where did lotus go? :D [19:20] to watch the boxing [19:21] yea that one i just got [19:21] daftykins: aah ok [19:21] brb trying something === eu is now known as Guest18817 [19:21] k1l_, the key is there since months [19:22] dbugger: doesnt matter if the ssh was not restart since then [19:22] daftykins: I am able to switch to nvidia now but when I try to logout and login again it keeps blinking. Trying to restart now [19:22] you don't need to restart sshd for adding public keys [19:22] Hi guys, I'm using mate as DE and I replaced the default mate-screensaver with xscreensaver and now the Lock Screen button in the System menu is not functioning. How do I edit the command of the Lock Screen in the System menu? [19:22] k1l_, I just repowered the whole server. Isnt that the same? [19:22] Can anyone tell me the difference btwn tftp and tftp-hpa? [19:22] dbugger: yes [19:23] k1l_, ignore what I just said... now it does not ask me for password...! [19:23] I understand nothing o.O === apb_ is now known as apb1963 [19:26] not working.. It keeps switching back to Intel after restart [19:29] I am trying something drastic now :D === user is now known as Guest35429 [19:33] Hi ppl, is there a command or software that can shutdown my computer in couple hours or any time given [19:34] logglog: "shutdown". [19:34] xD [19:34] and how to make it shutdown in 1h? [19:34] i am new to linux [19:34] hello all I have a lvm that was in another laptop and I would like to mount it on another pc to take the data off. Using all the tricks tht are on different sites and nothing is working ... any ideas [19:34] bekks, he's looking for a scheduling sort [19:35] isReKT2000: And thats what "shutdown" provides. [19:35] man shutdown [19:35] isReKT2000: "man shutdown", find the -h option. [19:35] logglog: you really want to get used to manpages. they are the documentation from the commands. there you can seen what the command is able to do [19:35] logglog take a look at the -t option [19:35] Canon: that's unlikely, really you just want a hand? ;) [19:36] hand ? [19:38] Ricky_Rat5005: that's not an option in my version, it would just be shutdown 60 [19:38] Canon: help. [19:38] Canon: so did you identify the volume name on this other disk? [19:40] yes... do you mean /dev or using vgscan [19:43] Canon: i think you can spot them with 'blkid' too [19:45] Hi everyone, my mouse is horribly fast and the speed cursor is at the lowest (in the mouse configuration screen)… Is there anything I can do to permanently slow down my mouse ? [19:47] Hey! Is there any backup tool to backup older files with longer intervals between the backups and newer files with shorter intervals between the backups? [19:47] is there a way I can force Unity to reload it's cache/db/whatever of .desktop files/launchers? [19:47] OK… xinput made it [19:47] !backup [19:47] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [19:47] found the volume name ...just cant mount it [19:47] thanks anyway :D [19:47] l0p3n: Like a smark backup policy? [19:48] I put two new launchers in /usr/share/applications but even after 3 reboots Unity refuses to show them. [19:48] Canon: ok so what file system does it use, what command are you entering and what error do you get? [19:48] flan_suse: I'm not sure what that is but maybe you could explain :) [19:49] anyone who can try to help me solve this issue I have? I cannot switch to Nvidia in nvidia-settings [19:49] optimus setups mostly don't work that way IME [19:49] ext4 sudo mount -ro /dev/sda3 /mnt/mount/ [19:50] Canon: that's not standard syntax - and you can't use sda3 like i'm sure i've told you before :) [19:50] Canon: sudo blkid | nc termbin.com 9999 [19:50] l0p3n: How you described. Old files will be archived in more spaced out intervals (months, then years), but new backups will keep archives more frequently, like days, weeks, etc. [19:50] daftykins: was that for me? [19:51] yep [19:51] flan_suse: Yes that's exactly what I'm looking for! [19:51] l0p3n: BackInTime works in that sort of fasion. [19:52] flan_suse: Aha I will give it a try. Thanks! [19:52] update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for x86_64-linux-gnu_gfxcore_conf [19:52] l0p3n: Do you know how to add PPAs? [19:54] Canon: so any luck on that command output? [19:54] daftykins: let me show you my grub file ok ? [19:54] no i'm good [19:54] flan_suse: Yes, how come? [19:54] yes daftykins [19:54] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i915.enable_rc6=0 i915.enable_fbc=0 i915.lvds_downc$ [19:54] I will remove those i915 [19:54] those are intels [19:54] right? [19:54] l0p3n: The BackInTime PPA has the most recent versions and updates. [19:55] yes [19:55] l0p3n: https://launchpad.net/~bit-team/+archive/ubuntu/stable [19:55] ok... that's maybe why it doesn't work. [19:55] what do i use if not /dev/sda3 [19:55] Canon: we'd find that out if you gave me the output of the command i asked you to run in a timely fashion [19:55] I have googled the 'snot' out this. I am trying to install tftp server on Ubuntu 14. I am following this guide: http://askubuntu.com/questions/201505/how-do-i-install-and-run-a-tftp-server but when I do an apt-get install xinetd tftpd tftp it gets to setting up xinetd and just hangs. [19:55] l0p3n: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bit-team/stable && sudo apt update [19:56] flan_suse: Great! I forgot to ask, can BackInTime make backups over the internet or a network? [19:56] l0p3n: I haven't used it in a long time. [19:57] l0p3n: I think over a local network, maybe? Not sure about over the internet. Unless it's a remote directory mounted to look like a local folder? [19:57] l0p3n: I know BackInTime will not work (or work "efficiently") if the file system does not support hard links. [19:57] the other thing that happens is that after a period of time the computer that i have the harddrive pluded into goes in sleep mode... screen turn blak and there is nothing i can do other then turn the system off [19:58] Ricky_Rat5005 running a server? if yes, there's also #ubuntu-server [19:58] Thanks. I'll try there. [19:59] flan_suse: Thank you! [19:59] l0p3n: Welcome. :) [20:02] OK, I think I have one more question: Is there a way to launch an xinput command when logging. I read about the .xsession files and it doesn’t seem to work anymore, lightdm uses *.desktop files which I don’t understand… [20:02] http://pastie.org/10590050 this is my current error [20:02] guite: startup apps [20:03] hmmmm… [20:03] EriC^^: thanks, I’ll try :) [20:05] guite: sure, np :) [20:05] any ideas [20:07] EriC^^: …aaaaaaand it works ! \o/ [20:08] EriC^^: thanks again :) === No-login is now known as Notalogin === Notalogin is now known as Morph3us === Dragonslicer is now known as Dragnslcr === Administrator is now known as Guest65012 [20:20] Hi [20:21] i need help i accidently deleted documents and all my files are gone can someone help me recover this file [20:22] !recover [20:22] Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [20:22] gt8ost4l: on the terminal? [20:23] k1l: what [20:23] gt8ost4l: how did you delete that documents? on the terminal? on the desktop? did you look into the trash? [20:24] yes itwas a mistake cause i thought mega nz upload it so i peremently deleted it [20:24] can i somehow get it back? [20:25] gt8ost4l: see the bots message [20:25] gt8ost4l, in addition you can try with photorec in the testdisk package , but it will recover a lot of files [20:26] gt8ost4l: in short: not without massive work, and not with a 100% chance. === wook is now known as Guest62855 [20:27] UH [20:27] Why am I banned on ##Linux? [20:27] so what can get back my documenrts [20:28] I've never even chatted there. [20:28] Hello? [20:28] Dredd|: ask in #freenode [20:29] Dredd|, You can ask in either #freenode or ##linux-ops. Not really a topic for here though [20:29] gt8ost4l: there is not a "click here and get all files back" button. so you need a lot of work [20:29] im not saying it would be easy === Dredd| is now known as Dredd [20:31] a gui to do it would be nice, unfortunately, i lack the skills to create one [20:31] gt8ost4l: so see the answers you already got. [20:33] gt8ost4l, lets say that you removed mp3 files, you install testdisk, run sudo photorec , look for filters in Files Options, and select only mp3, then it'll ask you where to save the files. but they are recovered under anoymous name and you don't know if they are the files that you lost or files that you voluntary deleted [20:37] ioria: Do you know if TJ comes today ?

[21:01] MonkeyDust, when i search it shows me stuff from amazon and sends my searches to canonical [21:02] daftykins, i'm not here to troll just asking a question [21:02] ioria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13565571/ [21:03] motaka2, comment with a # the cdrom entries [21:03] ioria: how ? === metalcamp_ is now known as metalcamp [21:04] motaka2, the first two , i mean .... with this : # [21:04] motaka2, should look like that # deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 14.04 LTS _Trusty Tahr_ - Release i386 [21:05] motaka2, both [21:06] ioria: vim says it is read only [21:06] motaka2, with sudo [21:07] ioria: done [21:07] motaka2, cat /etc/apt/sources.list [21:08] Alright guys, need some help. I have a linux laptop. It's got wifi. It has no problem connecting to two of my wifi networks (each has a diff wifi brand router). However, for one of them, I have to reboot the dhcp server on the laptop to get an ip address every time I connect. Any ideas? [21:08] ioria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13565651/ [21:08] motaka2, ok, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [21:09] ablegreen: It sounds pretty pointless to have a dhcp server running on your laptop when trying to connect to a wifi network. [21:09] ablegreen: your laptop needs a dhcp client, not a server. [21:09] bekks: Sorry, I meant dhcp client [21:09] not server, correct. [21:09] ablegreen: So what do you mean by "reboot the dhcp client"? [21:10] dhclient -r [21:10] Not exactly "reboot" [21:10] but forcing it to get a new ip address [21:10] then dhclient [21:10] Which is totally different from "rebooting". [21:10] Yes. [21:10] Hey all just did a xubuntu update and for some reason my audio is now borked - I no longer can get sound and my audio card is no longer detected. [21:11] so you open a terminal and run "dhclient " ? [21:11] ablegreen: So which IP does your laptop have prior and after connecting to that particular network? [21:11] nmatrix9 in a terminal, type alsamixer see anything unusual? [21:11] bekks: None. [21:11] i bet the first is APIPA :> === Numline1 is now known as Guest59086 [21:11] MonkeyDust, cannot find file or directory [21:12] ablegreen: "none" for which part of my question? [21:12] bekks: No ip address before attempting to connect to the network [21:12] ablegreen: And after? [21:13] bekks: wpa_cli status says it's "Connected" but there's no ip address in ifconfig. Just says "BROADCASTING" or something. [21:13] ablegreen: That doesnt answer my question. [21:13] bekks: : No ip address before nor after. [21:13] ablegreen: then your wifi is not providing a DHCP server. [21:13] nmatrix9 install alsa-utils, then try alsamixer [21:14] i reckon the timing is just off [21:14] bekks: Works fine with my Macbook though? [21:14] *other laptop [21:14] ablegreen: then how do you get a valid IP on that network? [21:15] MonkeyDust, Hey FYI, I reinstalled my alsa-base, just recently not sure if I should reboot though. [21:15] bekks: I just told you earlier. By doing dhclient -r and then dhclient. [21:15] On my Macbook, I don't have to do that. [21:15] So name the IP you get after that. [21:15] MonkeyDust, I have alsa-utils installed but I'm reinstalling again. [21:15] Thats what I asked you to do, earlier. [21:15] 192.168.10.111 [21:16] ablegreen: arent you using NetworkManager for your wifi connection management? [21:16] bekks: No this is ubuntu server [21:17] Which is not a valid argument against using NetworkManager. [21:17] MonkeyDust, I'm gonna reboot [21:18] bekks: Maybe there is something wrong with the router being configured wrong, idk [21:19] ablegreen: are you using a hardcoded config in your interfaces file which calls wpa_supplicant to connect from this host? [21:20] daftykins: Yes but I use wpa_cli for controlling pa_supplicant to disconnect and connect from certain networks as well [21:21] hello [21:22] anyone who has a tutorial on how I can get primusrun? [21:22] ablegreen: try nm-cli === bewbs is now known as Guest5939 [21:23] daftykins: Typo? I don't have that command [21:24] no it wasn't === user is now known as Guest93171 [21:24] oh no hyphen === echo is now known as Guest39035 [21:24] daftykins: Looks like it uses network manager, which I'm not using [21:25] right, which is the basis of my suggestion [21:25] ...of trying something new! [21:25] also, servers on wireless make me chuckle [21:25] daftykins: Ah okay. [21:25] daftykins: If it works, maybe I can look into its source to figure out why I can't get wpa_cli to connect & give me an ip address [21:26] Thanks dudes [21:26] i reckon it's timing [21:28] daftykins: Timing between what? [21:28] I wonder if nmcli uses wpa_cli [21:28] network association and DHCP query firing off [21:29] i'd write a script to associate manually then run dhclient; if it fails and yet works with a brief delay between, you know you're onto something [21:29] I'd just use nm-cli [21:30] i said that XD [21:30] daftykins: :) [21:31] * daftykins pats his box of cat6 UTP [21:31] daftykins: It already works with manually associating and then using dhclient. The problem is that why do I have to use dhclient? Should just get an ip address automatically like it does with the other network. === not_phunyguy is now known as phunyguy [21:31] hi [21:32] i think i broke something [21:32] aa [21:32] ubuntu_noob: so fix it :) [21:32] haha :) [21:32] selam turk var mi? [21:32] ablegreen: because of what i said. jeez, do you even read :P [21:32] !tr | mehmetcengiz [21:32] i want to reinstall ubunut [21:32] mehmetcengiz: Turk ubuntu kullanıcıları, Türkçe yardım ya da geyik için /join #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. [21:33] ubuntu_noob: Thats not fixing things, thats ignoring problems. :) [21:33] i used fdisk to format the drive [21:33] daftykins: Oh you said write a *script* with no delay and with a delay. I had been doing it manually via the terminal. Sorry. [21:33] ubuntu_noob: fdisk isnt even able to format something. fdisk partitions things. [21:33] okay [21:33] ablegreen: yeah, obviously you doing it manually takes long enough to work fine [21:33] i deleted the three linux entries [21:33] ubuntu_noob: Hilarious name. [21:34] and now the pc doesnt boot ofc [21:34] grub rescue ... [21:34] and the ubuntu usb stick doesnt work either [21:34] ubuntu_noob: because you messed with the partitions. [21:34] i select install but nothing happens [21:34] yeah [21:34] i figured [21:35] select 'try' [21:35] daftykins: What is your hypothesis? That nmcli/network manager has a delay built in? [21:36] i messed up the nvidia driver [21:36] and then i got deeper into the shit [21:36] ubuntu_noob: you've come here long enough to know that language is NOT appropriate. [21:37] well the things i do on linux arent appropriate either :) [21:37] ubuntu_noob: i do not care, don't do it. [21:37] ubuntu_noob: Do all your experiments in a VM [21:38] nevertheless [21:38] sorry [21:38] whats wrong with the partition then? [21:38] ubuntu_noob: You messed with it. How are we supposed to know what you did with it? [21:39] check or make a new bootable usb on the pc you work on, and try again [21:39] yes i repeatedly used unetbootin [21:39] the first ubuntu installation was succeful === yuciyuar is now known as Guest84696 [21:40] ubuntu_noob: repeatedly using unetbootin is different from messing around with fdisk, as you meantioned before. [21:40] I am getting this error when I try to partition a 4TB drive with disk utility [21:40] http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=KrhMWt46 [21:41] Bray90820: use GPT on a 4TB [21:41] okay sure [21:41] 4TB? *drool* [21:41] pssh, tiny spinning rust :P [21:41] MonkeyDust: I have 8TB in the computer [21:41] fdisk displayed three partitions [21:41] no reason for ext2 today imo too [21:42] linux extended ... [21:42] i deleted all of them [21:42] ubuntu_noob: now you know whats wrong. [21:42] ubuntu_noob: you deleted everything needed for a system to boot. [21:43] i see [21:43] or are we being told that was what was done prior to the second installation? [21:43] doesnt the ubuntu installation create a new partition thingy? [21:44] ubuntu_noob: only if you tell it to do so. [21:44] there is no second installation yet [21:44] http://pastie.org/10590329 [21:44] guys [21:44] when I try to run optirun glxspheres64 [21:44] I get that error [21:44] type on one line, don't keep dancing on the enter key. [21:44] daftykins: Thanks you it works now [21:45] Bray90820: ^_^ === ZeeNoodleyGamer is now known as Guest1660 [21:45] Bray90820: for reference, i believe MBR has a limit of 3.xTB [21:45] bekks how do i tell it to do so? [21:45] daftykins: you don't read it anyway. [21:46] daftykins: Well the drive is technically 3.64TB [21:46] AbuDhar: i do, then i keep thinking to myself again "optimus setups mostly don't let you switch permanently like that" which you ignored earlier, so then i don't reply :) [21:48] lol === nasomi is now known as Guest74310 === AntiSpamMeta is now known as Guest61366 [21:59] :///////////// [21:59] I hate optimus [21:59] and Nvidia [21:59] AbuDhar: you know that prime works by using the nvidia chip on a per application basis, right? [22:00] so you don't need to 'switch' === Guest74310 is now known as bewbs [22:01] Hey guys, A question for anyone using ubuntu and snort. I'm trying to pull down rules using pulledpork for my snort installed but I keep getting: but keep getting a "you need to define an oinkcode" error. however as far as I'm aware I've declared my oinkcode in the pulledpork.conf file [22:01] what's the difference betweehn nvidia-352 and nvidia-352-updates? [22:01] between** [22:01] daftykins: I know that. :) [22:01] I don't want to switch.. Right now I just need optirun to work [22:01] so then why do you fight it? [22:02] I am not fighting man.. I need to get optirun to work so I can start steam with optirun [22:02] or css for that matter === screedoz is now known as screedo [22:03] i'd be willing to bet they'll pick the right chip auto [22:04] optirun glxspheres [22:04] this gives me errors [22:04] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0.

[22:06] ciaoo [22:06] glxspheres: command not found [22:06] oh that worked [22:06] \list [22:07] glxspheres64 worked [22:07] so optirun works or not?

When I upgrade kernel to 3.13.0-32 (from 3.13.0-24) my NIC and USB do not work. [22:57] wyoung: we're already in the -60's so there's no point considering only 32 === sUbMuNdO is now known as Guest52134 [22:59] daftykins: 3.13.0-32 is the latest version the RAID drivers support [22:59] wyoung: which driver exactly? [23:00] bekks: hpvsa [23:01] (HP Smart Array L120i) [23:01] Hello! Tell me an easy way to acces Chromium's tmp files to copy a cached .flv file. [23:02] There is none. [23:02] i would doubt changes are great enough to be of concern trying to apply them to newer kernels [23:02] the ubuntu sdk has a memory leak [23:03] daftykins: yes, because its a B320i controller - which is quite ancient. === arif-ali_ is now known as arif-ali [23:03] daftykins: I guess I could try although won't that taint the kernel further? [23:03] either you run up to date or you don't, simples [23:04] do simlinks dissapear after a reboot? can they be made permanent [23:04] ok I have figured it out! Ineeded to install the extra's package === NaStYdoG is now known as Guest87641 [23:04] MWM: symlinks are permanent. [23:04] MWM: no, unless they are generated by an application that manages them, like udev for example [23:05] wyoung: yeah that's where the firmware tends to come from, you should have linux-generic installed so that you aren't playing around with these manual installations [23:05] I made a symlink and observed it to work in xbmc. when I try to view the same directory in a network share from windows, the directory is empty [23:05] MWM: i bet you're either creating them on an unsupported file system, or you haven't configured samba properly to share them as so - they won't be supported by a Windows host viewing them though i should think. [23:07] windows (7) can see the parent directory but none of the sub directories... does this rule out an improper file syste,? it is ext4 btw [23:07] example evidence would be a lot better to explain this === froike is now known as Roikeman [23:09] as a matter of fact it can see sub-directories in a non symlinked directory.....

I copied over my home directory "/home/my_username" from an external hard drive onto my existing Ubuntu installation's home directory. Now for some reason I can't open Firefox nor the terminal, even when I search for it or use ctrl + alt + t. [23:47] It looks like if I click any of the icons on the left, none of them open anything. [23:47] except for files. [23:47] tachys: what is "ls -al" in that homefolder? does it name your username on the owner and group? [23:47] ubuntu update broke my virt-manager :( [23:47] i'd bet the files are still owned as root, "ls -al /home/username/" to confirm [23:48] I don't have a terminal, so I can't check that.
