[00:05] ping [00:06] Confirm range, flood tubes one and two [00:06] expected pong [00:06] Hey! I'm on a MacBook Ait and recently installed latest Ubuntu. Since I don't like Unity I installed Openbox and now I can't log in to neither of them. Suggestions? [00:06] no further questions. [00:08] did i forget something ? [00:08] PanicSkittle: "Confirm, range, flood tubes..." <- i liked that. thanks. [00:08] N0body: yes, that this is ubuntu support only... so take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks :) [00:08] N0body, yes, to read the /topic === HeisenbergsDog is now known as Guest25019 [00:10] hello [00:11] anybody know how to connect phone to your ubuntu desktop since ubunto dont support ios ;) [00:12] or maybe some tips for ubuntu since im new.. [00:12] Im N0body btw.. sorry for being rude.. [00:12] [00:13] N0body: you can't basically. [00:13] could someone direct me to the difference between an ubuntu flavor and an ubuntu derivative? apologies for the newb question. i'm still learning. [00:14] only with android ? [00:14] flavour = official spin that comes with a different desktop, derivative = a distro based off ubuntu, like Mint etc. [00:14] ty daftykins [00:15] there was https://launchpad.net/libimobiledevice for iOS, not sure it still works [00:15] else build it yourself > http://askubuntu.com/questions/598940/libimobiledevice-1-2-ios-8-support-for-ubuntu-14-04-trusty [00:15] !pm | N0body [00:15] N0body: 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.

I have an Ubuntu PC (15.10) and put a new SSD in it today and installed Windows on that. How can I go about getting Grub installed in the MBR to recover my Linux installation? I tried 2 of the methods in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#Reinstalling_GRUB_2 (grub-install and chroot methods) but still no luck. The chroot method complained that it couldn't find /mnt/boot/grub, the [00:23] former "worked" but there was no actual change. [00:24] thx for the info [00:25] So, default Lubuntu 15.10 install. Opening up the Downloads folder via PCManFM... uses all the available RAM on my PC, then crashes everything entirely until it is stuck on a frozen screen. [00:25] Any ideas? [00:26] what's in there? [00:27] daftykins, absolutely nothing. [00:28] maybe a black hole? :) [00:28] Nah. [00:29] Yuken: can you start pcmanfm from a terminal and then see whats going on as errormessages? [00:29] k1l, tried to do so. No error messages appear, from what I can see. [00:29] k1l, and it does work fine, accessing it from the terminal. [00:30] Another thing to note about my issue is I'm running btrfs [00:30] Yuken: anything in .xsession-errors in the users home or in syslog? [00:31] Nothing, k1l . [00:32] Bashing-om: Ubuntu 15.10 Installed... The trackpad works well but a little jerky, I have some synaptics settings yet to adjust. Thanks for your help and support [00:35] Yuken: strange. is the RAM ok? [00:36] k1l, I'm... honestly not sure. This PC is 9 years old, going on 10. RAM is from bloody Hyundai :p [00:36] HexChat: 2.10.2 ** OS: Linux 4.2.0-18-generic i686 ** Distro: Ubuntu¦¶ "wily0u¦¶" 15.10u¦¶ ** CPU: 2 x Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5250 @ 1.50GHz (GenuineIntel) @ 1000MHz ** RAM: Physical: 2.0GiB, 63.9% free ** Disk: Total: 144.6GiB, 52.6% free ** VGA: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller ** Sound: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel ** Ethernet: Realtek Semiconductor Co., [00:36] Ltd.

[00:37] Never thought of Hyundai making RAM :o [00:37] was it a clean install? [00:37] daftykins, clean install from the Lubuntu website, yes. [00:37] and you've dist-upgrade'd since? [00:38] daftykins, as I do not know much about Ubuntu & Linux in general, no clue. [00:38] "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" [00:38] I'll do so right now. [00:39] difference between full-upgrade and dist-upgrade? not at a linux machine at the moment so I cannot man them [00:40] SeriouslyLaugh: its apt vs apt-get [00:41] hm interesting, i will read up on that [00:41] thanks k1l [00:41] SeriouslyLaugh, manpages.ubuntu.com [00:41] SeriouslyLaugh: apt is the new command and did rename the commands so users dont get confused with apt-get dist-upgrade and a ubuntu release upgrade to the next version === sid is now known as Guest84036 [00:42] very interesting [00:42] thanks bazhang and k1l [00:42] welcome [00:45] the_count: Great ... I do hope 'tweak'n' works the wrinkles out . [00:46] SeriouslyLaugh: all man pages can be found via google. [00:46] daftykins :P [00:46] no i'm serious... [00:46] !google [00:46] While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [00:47] pretty strange. i seem to have no grub on my macbook. it got nuked by a second install of rEFInd. works fine but no grub options [00:53] SeriouslyLaugh: don't be so foolish, you wanted to see resources... i told you how to get to them. the factoid above is for genuinely not helping people and telling them to google their problems instead. [00:57] Gallomimia: install it from the live session [00:57] (ideally to the / partition of your ubuntu install) [00:59] apologies daftykins === ^cj^ is now known as ^CJ^ [01:08] hi all - does anyone ahve any experience installing vertica on ubuntu? it doesn't seem to have a way to use the installer on a nonstandard SSH port [01:10] :) [01:14] How can I disable the ubuntu desktop power manager? It keeps thinking that my UPS is dead (it's not) and shutting down the computer. [01:14] There's no option in the power settings to "do nothing" if the battery is critically low. [01:16] daftykins: both the mac and ubuntu install are on the same drive, and they work. i'm in a dont-fix-not-broken mood really [01:16] daftykins: but yes. i installed it on the first partition and not the root [01:17] i think if it were in the root partition, rEFInd would find it and then bootup would give you the friendly menu [01:17] it does [01:18] just that when i boot to ubuntu, there's no grub that loads after refind [01:18] Hello... I have Ubuntu 15.04 installed and a Corsair Void wireless USB headset. For some reason my mouse and keyboard work intermittently when this device is plugged into my computer. [01:18] I have searched around quite a bit and have come up empty handed. [01:18] Gallomimia: press left shift after refind [01:19] it did have that the first time around. then i ran some more installer and it nuked refind. so i installed refind and that nuked grub. time to stop nuking or i'm going to experience mutually assured destruction [01:19] k1l yes that used to work. not anymore [01:19] that's cause you put GRUB in the wrong drive! XD [01:20] does ubuntu boot? [01:20] nevermind i won't let this topic go around for another loop of the circle :> [01:20] yep [01:21] and i can still insert kernel options in refind [01:21] I found a guide that talks about modifying the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base file but it didn't really fix the issue although it does seem to have stabilized things barely. [01:21] wannabegeekster: experimented with USB port choice i take it? [01:22] Yes, have tried all of the different port combinations. There is a fairly large number of ports on the computer of course. Not sure if there would be a recommended method of plugging everything in here. [01:22] maybe just avoiding USB 3.0 when a device isn't 3.0 capable etc... [01:23] I have the keyboard and mouse in USB 2.0 and the audio device in a different USB 2.0 port as well, but a different controller [01:23] i've had strange issues with USB ports. 3 versus 2 also [01:24] Well I think it is the Corsair being particularly problematic. [01:26] Hey All, I've just mounted a new LVM volume its all good. But now I notice that my fstab file doesn't actually exist (this is a server version) . Do I need to create a full fstab file or just add my volume? [01:26] Is there some standard documentation on usb device troubleshooting? Or possibly some driver development guides for usb devices that would be worth looking into? [01:26] cre8r: You definitely need a fstab file. [01:26] you don't have an fstab? yeah i usually just add mine to the fstab but... what do you do if its gone? [01:27] I'm asking as I don't really want to rebuild the fstab file for ubuntu as no doubt I'll screw it up and need to recover it from a bootable version lol [01:27] its a fresh install lol just noticed now there is no fstab file at all [01:27] which I thought was odd [01:27] Yes, that is really odd. The system is booting though already without one? [01:28] yeah. odd that it works without [01:29] well... now I'm scared to reboot haha, not sure if its something I have done that has removed it... Basically just install some packages (lvm2 dmsetup mdadm reiserfsprgos xfsprogs) and setup a new LVM system, went to input it into fstab and ello ello whats going on ere [01:29] yeah. let's see here... [01:29] let me get you mine [01:29] question here on user policy management.. something I've never had to think of before.. =) [01:29] they're unique so there's not much point unless you run LVM too... [01:29] #linaro-virtualization [01:30] setting up a system for neighbor's two kids.. need to set up so that the kids have only limited (based on hours etc) access. [01:30] TaitenP: "/j #channel" [01:30] but i do run LVM [01:30] what's it take to implement this sort of thing? [01:30] Legendre: maybe a script that runs logout in the account, as an autorun thing [01:30] no idea if there's a built in mechanism [01:31] daftykins: you're about where I'm at, then. ;-) [01:31] it'd be a bit rude if a kid were part way through some work, though [01:31] exactly.. [01:31] I swear there's an internal policy thing for this.. but heck if I'd know how to set it up.. [01:32] used *nix since 1998 or so.. never had a need! [01:32] I think shutdown by default sends a wall message....but can you see those if X is running? O.o [01:32] no, they output to the root terminal [01:32] That's what I thought [01:32] err, console [01:32] http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/ubuntu-timekpr-controls-computer-access-for-kids-not-just-internet-access/ [01:32] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ParentalControls [01:33] 'timekpr' sounds good [01:33] !info timekpr [01:33] Package timekpr does not exist in wily [01:33] oh PPA [01:34] parental controls is about site white/blacklist etc [01:34] yes, but you just know you'll get asked that next [01:35] timekeeper is the trick [01:35] I'm trying to install firmware-atheros from apt, but I've read that it requires non-free sources enabled. How would I go about enabling them on trusty?

[01:43] sfrc: on ubuntu its linux-firmware-nonfree [01:43] ah [01:47] Hey everyone, is there someone here that can possibly help me to figure out a permissions issue with Apache? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks! [01:47] !ask | brandon_ [01:47] brandon_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [01:47] brandon_: put the relevant details in a paste.ubuntu.com perhaps [01:51] Apologies, I hope this helps. http://paste.ubuntu.com/13589139/ [01:52] brandon_: check the answer here with 28 upvotes http://askubuntu.com/questions/26848/permissions-issue-how-can-apache-access-files-in-my-home-directory [01:52] brandon_: and if its not clear, change permissions on the directory in your home (not in /var/www) [01:52] I will give that a shot, thanks! [01:53] brandon_: "~/.." links to the users home of the actual user. if you run the apache as the "www-data" user then its not the same as "brandon" [01:54] k1l: I see, so will sym linking like that even work? The site loads correctly I just get a warning about the mkdir permission denied. [01:55] somsip: I think I did something similar to this before, if I change the permissions like this on the actual directory of my home will it want me to commit all of these changes as well (will git show them as changed)? [01:55] maybe the symlink links to the fullpath out of the shortcut [01:55] Hey guys, I'm using terminator, and in ncurses I'm outputing an ACS_VLINE to the screen. This should be a complete vertical line, however it's just outputting a | character. Does anybody know how I can make it output a full vertical line? I'm also using utf-8 btw [01:56] brandon_: but www-data is the user/group from the apache [01:56] brandon_: so give that folders the group to www-data [01:56] brandon_: if you change permissions of files/dirs that are in a git repo, those changes will be commitable [01:57] Ah ya, I don't really want that because then it will get sent back to everyone on my team with executable and some idiot will probably push a site live with that. [01:58] brandon_: what has 'executable' got to do with anything? [01:59] How do I disable animations in unity desktop? [01:59] oh it's not full permissions, never mind. But I still don't think it will work because the hosting company we use requires files to be of a certain permission. Is there a way to do it without changing the permissions of the files in the repo? [02:00] Techno568: look into the "unity-tweak-tool" [02:00] okay. [02:00] Thanks k1l [02:01] if i disable the animations will that make the computer slightly faster? [02:01] just run a different DE entirely [02:01] xubuntu would be far lighter === zer0 is now known as Guest54076 [02:01] if you want a more lightweight desktop use something like xfce or lxde. [02:01] okay. thanks daftykins [02:02] brandon_: set the directory permissions up correctly so that www-data can write to directories it needs to write to (logs, cache, etc) and you should be fine === brayden_ is now known as Blaster [02:03] would elementary os be better? [02:04] well, its not an official desktop in the ubuntu repo. === Blaster is now known as Guest6223 === phillips1012 is now known as solenoids [02:08] somsip: Ok, I followed that link and did one too many folders and wanted to start over, now if I try to reset my working copy I get permission denied, any ideas? [02:08] brandon_: use sudo [02:12] somsip: I must have done something wrong, I can't even save files now, I just get permission denied. I gave ownership to www-data then added myself to the group and gave the correct folders 775. [02:12] brandon_: need to logout after changing groups, and that's not the best approach. Better to change group to www-data, not ownership [02:13] Oh I'll have to look up how to do that then. I'll take a look, thanks. === HeisenbergsDog is now known as Guest83119 [02:16] can anyone teach me how-to chroot? i'm trying to run a grub-install on a system that's booting from a LiveUSB [02:16] hi everyone [02:17] somsip: I hate to keep bothering you, I logged out, still can't save anything. How can I undo the permissions I gave, I followed the instructions originally on that link that you gave me. [02:17] im having issues using ubuntu on my virtual box, during the install it dosent flicker but after installing it on vbox the screen keeps flickering [02:17] awesomeslayerg: make sure the guest-additions are installed [02:17] brandon_: are you in www-data group? [02:18] how do i install yhe guest additons [02:19] somsip: Yes, I believe so. If I type groups myusername it shows www-data. [02:19] i get to the desktop screen but it flickers alot [02:19] do install it on the live cd? [02:20] brandon_: and the permissions of the directory you are trying to access are what? === gerald is now known as Guest54963 [02:20] my specs are AMD FX6300, 8 gigs of ram and R7 260 1GB [02:20] awesomeslayerg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/GuestAdditions [02:21] somsip: Shows Owner www-data create and delete files, Group www-data Create and delete files, Others Access files. [02:22] awesomeslayerg: sounds like you have a lack of video drivers. use caution when installing, cause it always makes the display stop working for me [02:22] brandon_: please paste the perms - I struggle to believe youve ended up with 661 [02:23] i have my drivers installed [02:23] you mean on the guest os? [02:23] Gallomimia: he is talking about a virtualbox install [02:23] awesomeslayerg: install the guest additions inside the VM [02:24] somsip: drwxrwxr-x 4 www-data www-data 4096 Nov 30 20:32 Virteom [02:24] Is that what you need? [02:24] that's 775 [02:24] okay i get i have to install guest additions in the vm but how can i install it if my vm screen flickers? [02:24] brandon_: the reason you can't save is cause you aren't www-data [02:25] Gallomimia: he's in www-data group [02:25] Ok that makes sense. I just want to undo what I did and start over :( [02:25] you're in that group? 0o [02:25] awesomeslayerg: give it more video ram inside the vbox settings [02:25] brandon_: actualy, paste the output of groups - lets be sure about this. Can paste here as only one pline [02:25] agreed [02:26] brandon : brandon adm cdrom sudo dip www-data plugdev lpadmin sambashare [02:26] yep. there you are [02:26] in the www-data group. what the error that it actually gives? [02:26] brandon_: paste your history - let's see what you did [02:28] http://paste.ubuntu.com/13589795/ [02:29] somsip: ^ [02:29] i don't get why you changed the owner AND the group. just the group should be enough. leave the owner as yourself [02:29] If I look at the permissions for the actual file I'm trying to save it is -rwxrwxr-x 1 www-data www-data 5289 Nov 30 21:15 conf.platform_local.php [02:30] Okay, Gallomimia, I would like to revert that, how can I [02:30] brandon_: well, sudo chown -R brandon:brandon ~/Documents/Virteom will get you back to being owner and group [02:31] Perfect, I can save again. [02:31] but now the webserver can't read it [02:32] read: yes. write: no [02:32] you could have left the group as is while changing the owner. but for some reason people keep giving you commands that change both [02:32] brandon_: this is maybe a clearer explanation of what you need to do to set it up correctly http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9133024/www-data-permissions [02:32] that's much better. read a website [02:33] brandon_: you can change the group only with "chgrp" [02:33] http://pastebin.com/NxZsqE7A Does someone know how to resolve this? [02:33] the principle of least privledge suggests that you leave permissions of everyone at zero, while granting read-only to the group www-data [02:33] Gallomimia: Full CHRoot -> (RE-)install grub, the way I do it: ' sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt ; for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done === ^CJ^ is now known as ^cj^ [02:34] Bashing-om: i think you for the response, but as usually, i'm lost shortly after mount [02:34] Azi: ubuntu 14.10 is dead already. so you might have ubuntu 15.04 which comes with kernel 3.19 [02:34] Well I'm not getting a permission denied on the server anymore, site is working fine. Just can't figure out this 500 error which I thought was due to permissions but I guess not. Also just to clarify I do the permission changes to what's in my home directory, not the symlinked directory in /var/www. [02:35] brandon_: yes - the symlink will be 777 [02:35] 500 errors are a problem with the database server [02:35] brandon_: do you have an .htaccess for mod_rewrite - need to allow an overide for that if you have [02:35] k1l: I downloaded the 14.10 .torrent file from ubuntu.com just a day ago. It should not be 15.04, right? Unfortunately I cannot boot into it to find out, would have to boot a live image. 15.10 unfortunately crashes while installing, that's why I am using 14.x [02:36] somsip: Yes, we have that, I think I have the override set. [02:36] Gallomimia: ' for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done // sudo chroot /mnt ; grub-install --recheck /dev/sdX ; exit ' and I back out of the CHRoot on each individual bind . [02:36] Azi: installing 14.10 will lead to a system that you need to upgrade anyway since it doesnt have a active repo. its dead. dont waste time with that [02:36] brandon_: fair enough [02:37] i used 14.10 for months had some problems with it [02:37] back to 14.04 and everything is smoothh [02:37] Bashing-om: i'm not sure i understand the bash scripting. and i don't know why any of it is happening [02:37] k1l: You are probably right. 15.10 however does not install, it crashes while running grub-install or something named like that. Installing grub anyway. Is this a bug I should report? Because it worked with 14.10. [02:37] Gallomimia: We can do this one line at a time, maybe then you understand it better ? Rather than a for loop . [02:37] somsip: I think everything is working now, just to figure out this error ><. Thanks for the help! [02:37] perhaps it might be best to step out of this busy channel Bashing-om? [02:38] Azi: kernel 3.19 is not 15.10. its 15.04 [02:38] brandon_: you might be best to go into #httpd or whatever channel for your webserver [02:38] brandon_: I feel bad for giving you a link with bad advice in the first place, so PM me if you want help with the 500, but it's off topic for here [02:38] Gallomimia: maybe, but peer review sure is cheap insurance , particularly with a change root that you are not comfortable with . [02:39] kil: Yes I know. 15.10 did not work anyway. So even if the version is 15.04 and not 14.04, the functionality (installing the system) broke with the transition to 15.10, it does not work. [02:39] alright. well the first problem i'm having is understanding the gravity of chroot. and the reasons for doing it === Guest54076 is now known as zer0_ === zer0_ is now known as zerO_ [02:41] k1l: Seems like it was 14.04.3 LTS as opposed to 14.10, my bad. So since it's LTS it should still be supported. === zerO_ is now known as zer0_ [02:41] Azi: yes, 14.04.3 comes with kernel 3.19 too [02:41] Gallomimia: All you are doing is moving the boot into the root of the target system . got to set up the 'binds' to the proper functions to do so . [02:41] Bashing-om: let me explain the situation. my system has a raid, crytpofs, and LVM on it. the install got broken somehow and i deleted /boot which is a separate partition from the raid. i just want to run chroot so i can run some grub-install [02:42] also, i need to metion that grub-probe crashes on this system, and i don't know why. [02:42] Gallomimia: I know nothing about encrpyption . You may be in for a real fight . [02:42] well, you know a bit more than me. for now the drives are unlocked and mounted while running a liveUSB [02:43] k1l: I see. So, back to the question, do you know how I can run the commands http://pastebin.com/GMHK7pyH when the grub prompt does not accept the file name that is in /boot/? And do you have an idea why the installation breaks in 15.10 and does not in 14.04.3? [02:44] Azi: just exchange the 3.16 with the actual 3.19s [02:44] Gallomimia: One bind at a time: ' sudo mount /dev/sdxY /mnt/ ' where sdxY os the target as drive - sda, say , and partiton say sda1 . [02:45] k1l: I did. I noted the exact file name found in /boot/ when I live booted and entered exactly that into the grub prompt. I hope I did not do any typos but I triple checked. [02:45] whats the best way to dualboot on ubuntu? [02:46] with grub [02:46] Azi: you can use tab-completion [02:46] zer0_: with Windows? resize Windows from diskmgmt.msc, boot from USB -> install [02:46] !dualboot | zer0_ [02:46] zer0_: 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 [02:46] cheers [02:47] somsip: Appreciate the offer, but I think I can handle it from here :). Thanks again for the help. [02:47] k1l: I did try that too. The only thing I can think of right now is that maybe (hd1,gpt2) is not the right partition, I am going to all of the ones listed by "ls" in the prompt right now. [02:47] Bashing-om: what is a bind in this case? [02:47] Gallomimia: ' sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev ; sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc ; sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys ; sudo mount --bind /dev/pts /mnt/dev/pts ; sudo mount --bind /run /mnt/run ; sudo chroot /mnt/ /bin/bash ' On a normal install one is now in the install from the liveDVD . [02:48] 32bit efi is a total waste and should be die anyway :/ [02:48] -be [02:48] it was a trick to lock folk into win8.1 with bing, i think :( [02:48] on those really cheap and nasty systems [02:49] k1l: Well I don't know if I would say it's got no place in this world because clearly it works if you jump through some hoops but clearly the support could be better and for manufacturers to not tell you that it's going to be very difficult to install a new OS before you delete your existing one is pretty dumb. Anyway, I'll stay on it. Don't want these 200€ to have gone down the drain. [02:49] no they do that by design to keep you locked on the OS it came with [02:50] surprised it's taking so long to resolve [02:51] daftykins: I mean I would take it back if I could. I just upgraded to Win 10 and didn't want it anymore so I thought I'll just install something else. BIG mistake. Thank you again for your help yesterday by the way. [02:52] okay wait. what are you trying to do with the dual boot? [02:55] Bashing-om: i'm still lost about why the --bind flag is used. and what is all that other stuff? pts and sys and proc. i see that you need to execute bash as part of the chroot command. i'm going to read the man pages for mount now [02:56] Azi: i don't even remember yesterday [03:00] yo === MichaelHabib1 is now known as MichaelHabib === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [03:13] hi!

[03:24] Is there a repo that has all of the patches the Ubuntu kernel uses? [03:26] spotcomms, no, such does not exist, AFAIK [03:27] !repository [03:27] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories.

You need to use double quotes. [03:38] EMPHASIS: thanks [03:38] flan_suse: change color option is not their [03:38] EMPHASIS: find /home/Documents -name "*\**" [03:39] LoLz @ flan_suse ... a * in a filename?

My shell keeps timing out while I wait for it to complete [04:02] craigbass76, remove shell over ssh? [04:02] OerHeks, no, I found it. It's called screen [04:02] Hi .. Anyone got a sec to help with a pptp setup on ubuntu 15.10? Can't get it to connect [04:03] OerHeks, I'd seen a coworker use it and couldn't remmeber what he did. Screen lets you create a "new window" to run commands in (in my case gzipping a gigantic file) and then detach, then reattach later when the comnand is done if I get kicked out of the session [04:05] screen -r >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [04:05] yeah screen is cool .. use to use it for ircd servers [04:09] is recommended to install lenovo miix 3 with ubuntu 15.10? [04:10] axwhy: recommended? no, will you try it? sure [04:13] axwhy: did you have a more specific query about it? i'd suggest booting a live session to try it out [04:14] daftykins: no, im just asking. sorry im forgot live session :) thanks man. [04:33] hey guys. if i add a user to a group [04:34] will it take the user out of the currwenrt group? [04:34] if i use: sudo usermod -a -G [04:34] what current group, a user can be in many [04:34] compact, no, it just adds. [04:48] when will the new LTS come? [04:48] april, next year [04:48] 16.04 = 2016.April [04:48] it can be later than that :-D [04:49] true, that! === rich is now known as Guest11566 [04:50] oh ok [04:50] So I will wait a year until I update :D [04:51] I mean 4 months [04:51] what are you on now? [04:51] 14.04 [04:51] it actually takes until 16.04.1 for the LTS direct upgrades to come about [04:52] TJ-: Are you around for a moment? [04:52] so will I be able to upgrade without starting from scratch? [04:52] i would never trust upgrades. [04:53] but technically it is possible? [04:53] make a live-iso on usb, backup data, and upgrade. it is possible. [04:53] OerHeks: dunno. Maybe I should just start from scratch. :) [04:54] Does anyone know WHY, once installed, Ubuntu gradually speeds up the speed of minimizing windows? [04:54] AbuDhar, as of 15.04 ubuntu uses systemD, i would do a fresh install too [04:54] * Hitechcg still has a computer on Ubuntu 14.10 [04:54] OerHeks: oh ok. === Chex- is now known as Chex [04:55] Hitechcg: that's EOL, we don't help with that anymore [04:55] you need to be running a supported release :) [04:55] I mean Ubuntu does this on 15.10 too [04:55] That /me was somewhat unrelated. [04:56] need to restart :D just had an update [04:56] brb [04:56] Good evening ladies and gentlemen [04:57] And I'm looking more for an explanation than help. I understand that Ubuntu DOES gradually speed up the speed of minimizing windows, and I've seen it in dconf. I'm looking for WHY it does this, and what purpose it serves. [04:58] quick question for you knowledgeable folks in here, how good is linux (ubuntu specifically) at dealing with hardware changes? new CPU and mb on its way and I got this one perfectly set up [04:58] deskwizard: I've swapped mobo and cpu twice and the existing install has worked fine both times [04:58] perfect thank you somsip :) [04:59] deskwizard: no guarantees mind :) [04:59] somsip, no worries mate, worse case scenario I reinstall [04:59] hopefully that'll fix the whole flash/sd card mess [04:59] actually I think I'll do just that [05:00] I am using a 5 year old laptop. It still works fine. :) It's soon 6 years old [05:01] machine here is about that old also, compilation times are just ... unthinkable would be the term [05:01] Dell Latitude 2120 << my machine that runs 14.10 [05:02] Hitechcg: why do you even do something so unwise, you realise if that thing goes online it's insecure right? [05:02] Mine is Packard Bell TS11-HR [05:03] I barely use it. I really need to reinstall the whole OS, and I've been too lazy to copy all the crap off the hard drive. [05:04] Ubuntu is the most popular Linux distribution ever [05:04] I think [05:05] ping [05:05] lets not forget the chat channel is #ubuntu-offtopic folks [05:06] daftykins: can you unban me from there? [05:06] no [05:06] Also, I actually DO have a question. I have a Lenovo Thinkpad 11e I received from my school. (Which I've been using instead of that netbook; that's why I barely use it anymore.) Since some time point after upgrading to 15.10, either a) Xorg keeps randomly crashing or b) the entire system just completely freezes, thanks for omitting the sysrq key lenovo, the mouse is not moving, and there's nothing in the logs after a reboot. Why? [05:06] why not ? [05:06] you have an issue in there, go talk to the #ubuntu-ops folks [05:06] daftykins: I am also banned there dude [05:07] at least unban me from #ubuntu-ops [05:07] sounds like you're pretty unpleasant then [05:07] i'm not an op so i can't help you. [05:07] no [05:07] ikonia: [05:08] do not hassle ops in the channel about your situation [05:08] And it's random. Today I had had this on since Wednesday. Then it completely froze. Then I rebooted and it froze less than 20 minutes later. [05:08] daftykins: let me pm him then [05:08] you don't need to ask me to PM someone, geez man [05:09] I didn't ask you [05:09] did you see a question mark? lol [05:09] "let me" [05:09] i can see why you got banned now [05:09] I don't understand why you are not banned yet. [05:09] volunteer++ [05:09] bah [05:10] go volunteer with something else.. do some charity. [05:10] Hitechcg: i'd try a clean install [05:10] AbuDhar: drop it, i've helped you before and i'm not looking for hassle. [05:10] so do me the decency of not being an ass [05:10] * Hitechcg sighs [05:11] then don't tell me what to do all the time. you are not my father. [05:11] geez best os ever, when you have to reinstall for everything [05:11] the channel has rules, get over it. [05:11] whatever dude [05:11] and you're ignored, good job [05:12] Hitechcg: it's not that, i just don't believe in upgrades. [05:12] Hitechcg: that's where Windows is more robust. :) [05:12] * daftykins is typing from win10 [05:12] *cough* archlinux *cough* [05:13] um.... what? don't believe in upgrades? does this mean you're running on a VAX? [05:13] rofl [05:13] Gallomimia: OS upgrades... from release to release [05:13] Anyways, is there actually a way to DIAGNOSE these freezes? [05:13] oh so you mean... clean install or not at all? [05:13] Hitechcg: there is always a way :D [05:13] i'd run the live session and see if it's endemic to the kernel and release. [05:13] Without a sysrq key? ctrl-alt-F1 doesn't work. [05:14] without a fourth key, a three key combo... that doesn't make any sense [05:15] ??? that switches to tty1, I figured someone would ask sooner or later about that [05:15] yeah i figured you were getting at REISUB, but then stating TTY key combo is confusing [05:16] Also, the problem is that sometimes this is on for a week before it freezes. I can't really have this booted to a live session with a flash drive stuck in the laptop for a week, as I use this laptop pretty much every day for school. [05:17] daftykins: I see [05:17] well you hadn't volunteered that information [05:18] True [05:18] yeah i can agree to that. don't "upgrade" backup and reinstall [05:18] are we talking College here, or? [05:20] High school [05:23] why does it matter if it's college or high school? [05:23] good question [05:23] that's kind of off-topic [05:23] #ubuntu-offtopic [05:24] AbuDhar: with every comment, you're just proving how just they were in banning you from the other channels, come on now... lets just get along [05:24] ok daftykins [05:25] hello? [05:25] hello [05:25] hi [05:25] hello [05:25] :| [05:30] anyone? [05:30] yeah?? [05:30] sorry Hitechcg could you restate your question? [05:31] Aren't there IRC logs? -_- [05:31] what if he just joined? [05:31] or can't be bothered [05:31] the latter [05:31] it's you who is having the problem not him [05:31] Hitechcg: there or logs, but if you want people to help you... [05:32] *are [05:32] I'm assuming that he just joined; I mean the logs that you get the big warning about when you join [05:32] !logs | Hitechcg [05:32] Hitechcg: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too. [05:32] Hitechcg: you are not that important.. restate your question. [05:32] Hitechcg: if you want help, you need to work for it. [05:32] Hitechcg: what they said ^^^ [05:33] people are using their spare time to help so make it easy on them. [05:33] Anyways, my computer basically keeps freezing entirely since some time like a month ago. This includes the mouse. I don't have a sysrq key, and ctrl-alt-f1 does nothing. [05:34] Hitechcg: what hardware tests have you done? [05:34] Also, I understand that Ubuntu DOES gradually speed up the speed of minimizing windows, and I've seen it in dconf. But WHY it does this, and what purpose does it serve? [05:34] somsip: none... [05:34] Hitechcg: second query is offtopic here - this is for support [05:35] Hitechcg: so there's your first step for that sort of failure [05:35] i agree with somsip -- and to add to that suggestion, perhaps read through some of your logs to see if you can pinpoint what is failing [05:36] !testing | Hitechcg (here are some links to investigate) [05:36] Hitechcg (here are some links to investigate): To test your hardware, you can use the packages memtest86+ (for memory, can be started from the !GRUB boot menu), smartmontools (for hard drives), cpuburn (which MIGHT damage your processor if cooling is not adequate!). Additionally, lm-sensors can be useful to monitor temperatures and fan speeds - See also !benchmark [05:36] There's nothing in the logs at all. I've checked. [05:36] it probably freezes so seriously it can't write them [05:36] yep [05:36] Hitechcg: hence the suggestion to resolve it's not a hardware issue before you look for something that isn't there - eg: software error [05:36] a common one one of the guys suggests is to try SSHing in at that point... but i'd bet it's gone from all network connections too [05:37] IRC disconnects at least. [05:37] Hitechcg: hardly a concolusion test though is it? [05:37] probably hardware not gettting along with kernel? am I mistaken? [05:37] that's not enough of a point [05:37] *conclusive [05:37] Also, Xorg crashes sometimes randomly. [05:37] latest system BIOS? [05:37] complete shot in the dark, dead reckoning guess is something hard drive related. but there are quite a few points of failure on any system so it'll take some troubleshooting to figure out what (if anything) is failing [05:37] Hitechcg: ok - you've got advice and now you're just wanting it to be something easy. Can't help you there [05:38] daftykins: I believe so [05:38] well don't tell me that, go check [05:38] never hurts to share a quick bit of SMART info on the disk, if it's mechanical, to check the health there [05:38] is wayland getting more and more success? [05:38] sudo apt install smartmontools pastebinit && sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit [05:38] AbuDhar: still OT [05:39] I think it will replace xorg in future releases.. it's not offtopic.. [05:39] yes it is off topic, as support means support for stable things, not future tech. [05:39] AbuDhar: not a support issue. You've been told how it works here. Show some maturity [05:40] I will go to #Linux. :P at least they will answer [05:40] i think it's ##linux [05:40] it forwards anyway [05:41] AbuDhar: this is for support on ubuntu. not discussing it. try #ubuntu-offtopic those guys will talk about whatever [05:41] he's banned which is why we're getting all the drama here, sadly [05:42] daftykins: banned from offtopic? If I'd known that, I would have ignored him earlier [05:42] :D [05:42] somsip: who cares dude .. go ahead [05:43] alright. i'm trying to do a chroot on my system. one thing i'm trying to do is mount my separate /boot partition, but i don't know which fs type to specify. which would it be? i thought it was ext2 but it's bios boot in GUI tools [05:44] daftykins: http://pastebin.com/zyQR6rnY [05:50] Hitechcg: wow that disk is toast [05:50] no wonder you've got issues. [05:51] you need a new drive, STAT. [05:51] What makes you say that? [05:51] well I'm no expert, but Pre-fail doesn't sound good! [05:51] line 76, 196 - reallocated sectors is at 767 [05:52] that means 767 sectors have gone bad and have been reallocated from elsewhere on disk, that puppy has failed. [05:52] Hitechcg: so...hardware? [05:52] it's only going to keep getting worse... and worse... and worse. you need to get any data you care about off that thing ASAP. [05:53] Oh yeah, and I'm running laptop-mode-tools - but I think I disabled all hard drive PM as it kept spinning down and back up the disk... [05:53] hooray my complete shot in the dark was right for once! [05:53] if you have nothing to backup to, i would cease using that system until you can [05:53] :P [05:53] \o/ [05:53] sure was [05:54] usually when someone says 'slow' i do the same and often get lucky with a dead disk diagnosis [05:54] Wait, in 14.10 Disks showed the bad sector count on the line with the temperature... [05:54] yeah seek time is killer when a drive starts to fail [05:56] why did i rsync my entire failing iPod Touch rootfs to HERE... [05:56] :( [05:57] * Hitechcg decides to not back the backup up and hope it hasn't completely failed tomorrow [05:58] woah [05:58] heh [05:58] that's a HUGE read and seek failure rate in Disks [05:58] why can't i mount my /boot partition onto a different startup? even in the Disks program it won't let me mount it. should i just nuke it and format as something else? [05:58] I seemed to have walked in during an appropriate time! [05:59] I've been trying to get my Samsung SSD properly tuned for Ubuntu 14.04LTS [05:59] tuned? [05:59] I found a couple of guides etc. including the ones that address trying to install Samsung Magician [06:00] i have a couple samsung's and i'm planning to put them in my 14.04LTS system too [06:00] 840 EVOs ? [06:01] The Samsung support site is supposed to have a terminal based version of their Samsung Magician software but I can't really figure that out [06:01] circ-user-UyhqP: there's nothing needing doing tbh [06:01] Wait, if it's failing, then why is it saying that the Quick SMART self-test passed? [06:01] I have a linksys USB wifi i'm trying to make work with ubuntu 15.10. Any ideas? [06:01] Hitechcg: because the tests are useless; you really don't need to know anything beyond what i've already said. [06:01] havoc-hive: identify the chipset used [06:02] daftykins I should say SSD optimization, Trim ect. [06:02] daftykins: Thanks. I'll run a BIOS self-test tonight. [06:02] yeah as i say, nothing really needed [06:02] Hitechcg: why? what are you hoping to achieve? [06:02] it's dead. [06:02] @daftykins are you saying Ubuntu handles SSDs settings out of the proverbial box? [06:03] most OSs do, some folk seem to add 'discard' to their fstab [06:03] I doubt the school would believe any evidence from Ubuntu. However, from the BIOS, maybe. [06:03] and the literal box [06:03] last i'd heard about samsung 840's is that their firmware has a bug saying it supports something when it doesnt [06:03] Hitechcg: better yet, get the manufacturer utility for disk diagnosis. === nikhil_ is now known as Guest27903 [06:04] daftykins: it's built into the BIOS diagnostics suite [06:04] no that's a laptop brand one, not a Seagate one [06:04] Seagate is not good [06:04] but WD [06:04] buy* [06:04] hi [06:04] Hitechcg: listen, this is 20+ years of hardware experience talking, not my first rodeo. [06:04] all of my drives are seagate. the WD's have failed on me [06:05] any competent IT support department will know what remapped sectors means. especially near 800... [06:05] Hmmm.. Anyone know where I can read the documentation for SSDs in Ubuntu? [06:05] i would doubt there is any [06:05] daftykins: shipset of linksys device? ac1200 [06:05] @daftykins thanks for settling my fears of burning my first SSD out [06:05] havoc-hive: that doesn't sound like a chip [06:05] https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-reliability-stats-for-q2-2015/ [06:05] look at Seagate failure rate === danilo is now known as Danilo [06:05] havoc-hive: now you search for drivers and support for that chipset. but that doesn't sound like a chip model number [06:05] AbuDhar: off topic once again. === Danilo is now known as Doc_10th [06:06] daftykins: chipset of my computer? [06:06] daftykins: I'd assume that Lenovo's utility would have to be pretty darn good if it's in the BIOS, but whatever. [06:06] no, of the wifi device [06:06] havoc-hive: no the dongle still [06:06] How do you change your name in IRC? [06:06] off-topic [06:06] circ-user-UyhqP: [06:06] Use /nick [06:06] daftykins: yea, linksys wusb6300 [06:06] ask in #freenode circ-user-UyhqP === circ-user-UyhqP is now known as Yust [06:06] Ahh thanks [06:07] that's better. search for that stuff [06:07] havoc-hive: no you're not understanding, brand info from Linksys is not relevant... the actual chipset used is, most manufacturers take given brand chips and give them a custom name [06:07] AbuDhar: it seems like you really need a friend. are you that lonely you need to troll in #ubuntu ? [06:07] daftykins: Sorry for more questions, but what's Reallocated_Event_Count vs Reallocated_Sector_Ct? [06:07] Gallomimia: why am I trolling? [06:07] we have to be fair here [06:08] To be fair I did add the #freenode channel [06:08] i'm not sure. i'm using psychology to figure it out [06:08] if I am talking off-topic and it is mentioned then it should also apply for someone else. [06:08] if you are not fair in life then you will be a failure [06:08] back to ubuntu support... [06:08] hah bad logic [06:08] yes ^ [06:08] so why did you go off-topic Gallomimia? your comment was way off-topic... [06:08] can anyone tell me about the /boot partition? [06:09] daftykins: realtek 8723-8812-8821 [06:09] i'm going to ignore you too now. i'm sorry about that. you seem so lonely and vulnerable [06:09] Hitechcg: i couldn't tell you the difference in seagate's terms, i'm sure there's some info online though. i only know the difference between the 196 and 197 IDs off hand. [06:09] what do you want to know about the /boot partition? [06:10] havoc-hive: i doubt it's all 3 of those :P [06:10] Yust: i want to know what format it's typically in. i can't seem to mount it [06:11] Ubuntu 14.04 I think automatically writes in ext4 right? [06:11] Mine did anyways, installed this system about a month ago [06:11] yes. but that's what my other partitions are [06:11] this partition says it is BIOS Boot format. what the heck is that? i can't mount it or modify it [06:12] so, my next idea is to erase it and put ext2 or 3 in its place. which is what i thought it was before [06:12] Is it the only OS on the drive? was it built with GRUB? [06:13] i've got a pretty strange setup. it was built with grub [06:13] i wouldn't use a separate /boot anymore [06:14] good idea. except my setup won't work without it [06:14] but i don't know if you're legacy bootcamp or EFI booting, if that's that mac [06:14] no this is a different system. it's got a raid and crypto [06:14] having a separate /boot is not optional [06:15] is there really a demand for programmers or is that a lie? [06:15] daftykins: Why? I thought you were supposed to have a separate /boot partition. [06:15] yes there's a huge demand for programmers. just that they're not willing to pay those programmers what they're worth. [06:15] !ot | daBllemSsreggiN [06:15] daBllemSsreggiN: it's a lie.

[06:42] ok I also explained the problem in #mate channel on freenode [06:43] sounds good [06:43] its regarding the file /run/user/1000/dconf/user [06:43] when this file is owned by root [06:43] things will crash [06:44] and memory will shoot up into swap memory [06:44] like desktop enviornments will crash [06:44] when this file is owned by root === sauvin is now known as bocaneri [06:45] removing the file and restarting the desktop is only a temp fix [06:45] we need a more perm solution [06:45] oh you were here earlier then [06:45] who is we? [06:45] we as in people who use gksu to launch apps [06:46] kali linux is designed around root [06:46] while I created a non root user to watch netflix in chrome [06:46] so I launch wireshark with gksu wireshark [06:46] what does kali have to do with this? we don't support kali here. [06:46] and it sets /run/user/1000/dconf/user to root user [06:47] its not related to kali [06:47] then why did you bring it up? [06:47] its related to gksu [06:47] gksu allows you to start apps as a certain user [06:47] if you're running Kali and deceiving us then you should go to a relevant channel [06:47] so I start wireshark as root with "gksu wireshark" [06:48] it creates /run/user/1000/dconf/user owned by root [06:48] and crashes mate desktop [06:48] put this in a pastebin, not a multi line essay [06:48] this probley has been driving me bat crazy for months now [06:48] its almost a 4 year old problem never solved [06:51] oh its regarding dconf actually... not just mate-panel [06:51] So I have an ubuntu 12 server here that's continually logging SEAT_SESSION_ADDED/SEAT_SESSION_REMOVED to /var/log/ConsoleKit/history - even after a restart. Anyone know where I might start looking to see what's trying to open these sessions? [06:52] seat reminds me of X stuff === Guest83119 is now known as HeisenbergsDog [06:53] !ping [06:53] pong! [06:54] hi, i have an acer laptop it doesn't have a cd drive and I have no usb sticks. What can I do? :C [06:54] Neonic: to do what? [06:54] Install Ubuntu. :D [06:54] you could try netboot. but you'll probably need a stick at some point [06:54] netboot [06:55] pxe style hehe [06:55] alternately you can pull the drive out and install it with another style [06:55] netbook for windows too? [06:55] matschaffer: Is the server running X? [06:56] hateball: it shouldn't be. Not seeing anything that looks like X in the ps list [06:56] Neonic: buy a flash drive :P [06:56] it's 2015 :) [06:57] matschaffer: Weird. All I get when searching for SEAT_SESSION_ADDED is related to console-kit, and that shouldnt be running unless you use X in some manner [06:58] Will it allow me to put an IOS file on it? I know they can be hugee. [06:58] matschaffer: but you could look if console-kit-daemon is running anyhow [06:58] Neonic: flash drives? yes [06:58] that's how we all do it [06:58] yeah, it is. just not sure what's calling is `ps wuaxf` doesn't show any parents [07:00] wondering if it might be time to apt-get remove consolekit [07:01] It seems to be a solution some have chosen [07:01] Tho depending on the underlying issue, it can probably be solved [07:02] what's this server do? [07:03] hi [07:03] I do have a /etc/init.d/x11-common, status does nothing though. So seems x was probably installed at some point [07:03] ##java [07:03] 3 year old bug never getting fixed lol [07:03] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=732209 [07:03] Debian bug 732209 in libpam-systemd "unable to create file '/run/user/1000/dconf/user': Permission denied" [Normal,Open] [07:03] I want to know why ubuntu detect my usb / external HDD and I can easily mount using mount -a command... I have not install autofs [07:03] don't bring debian issues here [07:03] daftykins: just runs a worker process for the rest of the stack. Shouldn't need X. Guessing maybe someone tried installing it at some point for something. It's a QA env so sort of anything goes [07:04] no i'm asking what the entire server does :) [07:04] yeah, that's what it does I mean workers like rails background job workers. At least that's all CM says should be on there [07:05] oic [07:05] since hateball seems to have found some cases of people just uninstalling it, I'm gonna go that route [07:05] shouldn't need X on here. and I can sort that out if someone decides it does :) [07:05] thanks folks! === cpaelzer__ is now known as cpaelzer [07:08] matschaffer: by extending your middle finger to them and schooling them on servers i hope [07:09] ;) [07:09] I want to know why ubuntu detect my usb / external HDD and I can easily mount using mount -a command...

[07:46] daftykins: I thought http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ would be redirect to something appropriate [07:46] test [07:46] daftykins: my vga cards supports more than one interface [07:46] jonascj: use the mirror tester in software settings -> software and sources [07:46] nvm i come back when i dont need support then... [07:46] pyari: well it's actually your intel chip's on-die graphics, but yeah. [07:46] but monitor end has got the VGA only [07:47] you could try another cable for fun [07:47] k thanq sorry for an irrelevant question [07:47] im sure that's not gonna help as everything's fine on the windows end wth the same cable. @daftykins [07:47] daftykins: I will, but I can wget from that repo (manually finding the packages) with 4MB/s, so it is like apt-get is just f*king with me. Anyway I will check the repo tester [07:47] xD [07:48] shold i try and install interl graphics for linux thing? [07:48] intel* [07:49] pyari: no, it is pointless. i'd probably try a 14.04.3 live session to double check. [07:49] that's painful :c I barely get 1mb and that too when im lucky and im never lucky [07:50] i can't believe linux has no answer for this stupid thing :( [07:50] well it'd beat messing with configs [07:50] well like i said, you're using ancient gear - and there is an answer, so don't be impatient [07:50] complaining about it won't solve it :) [07:54] pyari: btw try cvt instead of gtf for modeline generation [07:54] daftykins: on it [07:55] you'll need to remove what you added already probably [07:56] removed already [07:56] got this at the moment: xrandr Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1024 x 768, maximum 32767 x 32767 DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) VGA1 connected primary 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm 1024x768 60.00* 800x600 60.32 56.25 848x480 60.00 640x480 59.94 VIRTUAL1 disconnect [07:57] daftykins: good to go? [07:57] that's unreadable on here, don't paste here - use paste.ubuntu.com [07:58] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13594512/ [07:59] should i proceed on to addng new modes with cvt this time ? [07:59] yip === Acilim_A is now known as Acilim [08:02] out of curiosity: what is the diff b/w gtf and cvt ? [08:02] i don't know, but when you mentioned you used that one i was only familiar with the other [08:02] so it doesn't hurt. [08:03] cvt also supports reduced blanking modes which are useful for non-CRT [08:04] im gonna kidnap the xrandr author if it did not work even with cvt [08:06] daftykins: it didn't help [08:06] added the moded just like the last time. no erros nothing [08:07] selecting the mode barely flickres the display and that's it. i'm back to 1024x768 which's a PAIN [08:07] im gonna have to change the damn LCD [08:08] :) [08:08] :( [08:09] morn [08:09] daftykins: should i change the damn LCD? :) [08:10] im gonna bring in the 22' LCD this time [08:10] and see if ubuntu can handle it?

[09:16] you have to be patient in these matters [09:16] bosyi, if it was unity, go to systemsettings > Displays and enable Sticky edges.

[09:55] gparted [09:55] CGHitech: gparted first trhows an error about it being a GTP table and then recognises my 500GB ssd as a 576MB volume [09:56] just recreate the partition table, I think it's in Tools (warning: will erase entire disk) [09:56] CGHitech: tried, result is new 576MB drive === neo is now known as Guest32802 [09:56] sruli: does "sudo parted -l" display it correctly?

[10:02] daftykins: 500GB crucial SSD drive, for some reason parted does not see it at all, i only see it in disks and in lsblk [10:02] sruli: how is it connected?

[10:28] gabar, not, 7.06 is available for wily 15.10 .. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openconnect [10:29] I know it's available for Wily, but I need it for Trusty if possible … [10:29] nope, i guess you need to build it yourself then [10:30] OerHeks: Thx. [10:33] sruli: sorry i wandered off, so yeah nothing wrong with that, you just need to create a table now :) [10:34] sruli: why are you doing so from another install though o0 [10:34] daftykins: in gparted when i create a table it sees it a a 2.74GB drive [10:34] don't use gparted. [10:35] try something like gdisk / cfdisk in the terminal, or just use parted itself [10:35] what should i use? [10:35] but again, why are you doing it this way? [10:36] what's wrong with gparted? [10:36] daftykins: what way should i do it? i need to partition the drive to make it ready to clone some partitions from other drive [10:36] sruli: i'd just let clonezilla deal with that [10:37] daftykins: clonzilla for copying partitions asks to which partition to copy to [10:37] mmhmm [10:37] i wouldn't personally do part to part [10:38] what are you doing, moving to this SSD from the existing drive? [10:38] daftykins: i am copying 3 partitions from a 1TB drive to a 500GB drive, do not want rest of partitions, until now i never had a prob with part to part [10:39] so make a table and off you go! [10:40] daftykins: thats the problem, how do i make that table, i just made in parted mklable - gpt, the result is 2048mb drive === intel is now known as Guest36821 [10:40] i think your bridge is terrible [10:41] it must be messing with things [10:41] bridge?

[10:43] daftykins: i have been using it for a long time, i have the same problems with creating tables on usb flash drives after i dd'd a iso to it [10:44] that's highly unlikely to be related, unless you've bricked your host OS install so bad it doesn't know which way is up or down [10:44] I an having some issues with duplicity. For some reason it will not read my known_hosts file to backup to sftp [10:44] sruli: so can you re-share "sudo parted -l" now that it has a (albeit wrong sized) PT on it? [10:45] Hey guys, why do i have this when i check for big files /tmp/systemd-private-VZCPIW/tmp/magento/var/log/system.log: 4.5G [10:46] it seems like its building up alot of gb how i have no idea how this file even got there or generate [10:46] rogger_h, read that log to get a clue? [10:46] or just the tail of it [10:48] tail -f /path/to/file.log [10:48] i know whats the log [10:48] its normal magento log [10:48] looks like magento is screaming about something. [10:49] daftykins: i added 3 small partitions to it http://paste.ubuntu.com/13596722/ [10:49] the thing it should have been in /var/html/website/var/log/ and not on that weird path also, atm there are 2 files one in the normal folder and the second o nthe one i told [10:49] maybe it somekind of cache or something or security matter in the system? [10:50] daftykins: i dont think its the connection, as Disks utility and lsblk see it correctly as a 500GB drive === Hamed is now known as Guest1270 [10:52] rogger_h, it is in the /tmp/folder, so temporary storage of something. i don't know about magento, maybe their channel can help?

[10:54] They are using Ubuntu logo as their logo! [10:54] In Iran. [10:54] What can we do? [10:54] The 'circle of friends' logo idea isn't really unique to Ubuntu === khildin is now known as robb_nl [10:55] Guest1270: good luck taking iran to task [10:55] Just googling 'circle of friends' brings up a bunch of similar designs fwiw. [10:56] You are right. But this one is sooooo close to Ubuntu logo! [10:57] sruli: i think you should leave the PT on, then go to clonezilla to check it out [10:57] Guest1270: http://design.ubuntu.com/brand/ubuntu-logo there is a R next to UBUNTU not next to CoF [10:57] Trademarks/copyright are complicated, e.g. it differsn from country to country and things might be perfectly fine if they're in businesses unlikely to be confused with each other. Who knows. Lawyer up! [10:58] daftykins: will check what clonezilla sees, but dont think there is a way around partitoning if i want it to be same size [10:59] daftykins: is there a software similar to clonezilla which i can use from OS without needing to use it as boot (i am cloning from ext to ext drive) [10:59] Pricey: So this might be OK! Thank you for information. :) [11:01] sruli: clonezilla can both be installed and run from boot media. [11:01] sruli: Thank you, too. :) [11:01] Ahoy!

I restarted the ubuntu and I have only a guest account. What to do? [11:15] I'm using this backend service called Parse for developing. And I have a cloud file in JavaScript format. But I think because it's located in usr/local/bin I can't change the code in it. I don't have any write permission. I tried to open the file with sudo but it doesn't work. [11:17] so there's no admin account yet, because i haven't set any. I have only the guest account [11:19] greyline did you finish the ubuntu install? then an account with sudo rights should have been created [11:19] robb_nl: no I'm not [11:19] robb_nl: since I accidentaly closed the install window [11:19] if the install didn't finish, just re-install [11:20] robb_nl: I mean I have started to use a new notebook with fresh Ubuntu and the setup windows (or settings windows or whatever) appeared on the first start [11:20] How can I get rid of this very annoying error? https://gist.github.com/anonymous/f54f43a6573070d6b2a4 [11:20] robb_nl: and I have closed that [11:21] you install from USB or dvd?

Dell installed that [11:22] ah... your device has ubuntu pre-installed... that was not clear.. ;) [11:22] robb_nl: yeeees [11:23] robb_nl: I would reinstall this if I must, but I would need to wait a lot while burning a new dvd or installing from usb... [11:23] robb_nl: it would be better if I would easily reopen these settings windows or something [11:25] Is there anyone has experience in mysql-server 5.6 troubleshooting .. I have this issue http://paste.ubuntu.com/13597116/ [11:26] I don't know how Dell initiates the config process... [11:26] This is /var/log/syslog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13597005/, and /var/log/mysql/error.log is empty [11:26] daftykins: clonezilla does not see that drive [11:26] robb_nl: what?

No sysadmins here right now [11:47] and you murdered this server? :) [11:47] lotuspsychje, but i am feeling its not that easy because HP hard coded the boot path for their laptop in boot when using with uefi mode [11:47] lol [11:47] lotuspsychje: Wait until the BIOS has finished loading, or has almost finished. (During this time you will probably see a logo of your computer manufacturer.) Quickly press and hold the Shift key, which will bring up the GNU GRUB menu. (If you see the Ubuntu logo, you've missed the point where you can enter the GRUB menu.) [11:48] lotuspsychje: this is the problematic part [11:48] sallu: uefi dualboot can get little puzzle yes [11:48] does not generate confidence, m8te [11:48] OerHeks: I think the problem happended after I did apt-get upgrade [11:48] lotuspsychje: I can see the Dell logo and I press the shift (i tried every shift) and hold that down [11:48] lotuspsychje, yes. i tried to install ubuntu parallel with my arch. and have unsuccess. i'm wonder if it is so small amount people hit in that bug. by the way that bug is so so long way bug [11:48] lotuspsychje: its just load ubuntu normally [11:48] daftykins: hhhhh, I hope I can get it back [11:49] I will ISA [11:49] greyback: please, lets not use this channel for every thing you try [11:49] eahmedshendy: what's the story that led to this? [11:49] greyback: try stuff yourself and if you stuck, ask specificly [11:50] eahmedshendy: have a look at the mysql logs as to why it couldn't start. [11:50] bosyi: can you detail your steps, where does it go wrong exactly? [11:51] lotuspsychje: okay. Tell me how to login into recovery mode with the help of SHIFT key [11:51] !recovery | greyline [11:51] greyline: 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 [11:51] try the other shift... [11:51] daftykins: I have also tried that [11:51] and escape as mentioned already [11:51] daftykins: then I misunderstood something [11:52] or just didn't read :) [11:52] greyback: make sure your bios is set correctly that bios allows key pressing at boot also [11:52] greyback: usb mouse/keyboard example in bios [11:52] lotuspsychje, after it tries to recognize disk (installed os and so on) [11:52] bosyi: what happens then? [11:52] daftykins: I came and found most users use mysql-server-5.6 in their developement environment .. Suddently I discovered that this production server has 5.5 database, I just make this "apt-get upgrade" .. I got error related to mysql-server ... I don't remember the error, but I this I did a command an others installed packages is configured and installed well except that package [11:52] daftykins: Hi there, you were helping me last night configuring the resolution of my Ubuntu system at work, I tried to ssh but the machine was off, now I'm at work and fixed the problem with the edid by hard setting it in grub after using get-edid tool [11:52] daftykins: /var/log/mysql/error.log is empty [11:53] ubuntu1234212: that's neat [11:53] ubuntu1234212: did you have to throw it in a xorg.conf ? [11:53] eahmedshendy: and the rest [11:54] daftykins: Yeah, thank you! _But_ now I've decided to plug in another monitor and both are detected as being the same edid :'( [11:54] daftykins: well, I tried to press ESC and then holding down SHIFT from the time the DELL logo appeared on the sceen....and nothing [11:54] greyback: try to enter your bios first, see if you didnt forget some options [11:54] I don't remember, just try to remove all mysql-server on the system (I found 5.5 5.6 from dpkg -l, I don't remember if they just clients or server), then everything went down [11:54] daftykins [11:54] daftykins: I don't even understand why Ubuntu allowed me to close such important windows as in the beginning...the time zone, the creation of user account, etc. [11:55] greyline, my line goes to bios with f12 for one time boot options, f2 for system options. research your make/model to find the exact keystroke. [11:56] eahmedshendy: jeez. backups? [11:56] daftykins: I have it [11:56] greyline: no use crying over spilt milk, deal with the NOW. [11:56] hello know how mount irc server? please send more information in ubuntu 15.04 [11:57] lotuspsychje, then process grub-mount eat 100% cpu. just google 'grub-mount cpu'. but there are no actual bug on this problem. [11:57] daftykins: Well, I just added 'drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/my-edid.bin' to /etc/default/grub [11:57] lotuspsychje, https://www.google.com.ua/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjv4oDkzbrJAhXJ2ywKHX5sCSkQFggqMAE&url=https%3A%2F%2Fbugs.debian.org%2F760148&usg=AFQjCNEfvTfv6lCHNPRswPBH08ikrGrRHw&sig2=06K8U4-V1euNlt7ZE7aFYQ&bvm=bv.108194040,d.bGQ [11:58] lotuspsychje, https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=760148 [11:58] Debian bug 760148 in grub-common "grub-common: grub-mount hangs forever, trying to mount ext4 partition, causing 100% CPU load" [Important,Open] [11:58] bosyi: smells like something else is getting high cpu, your uefi settings good? fastboot? secureboot? [11:58] ubuntu1234212: ah neat, that's handy [11:59] Icebit: looking for ircd software? [11:59] Hiyas all [12:00] I'm having a problem with the new plugged monitor being detected as the one I configured on /etc/default/grub using drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/my-edid.bin, any ideas how to fix it? [12:01] bosyi: perhaps you should try the live usb mode, and test some stuff in realtime [12:01] bosyi: to see whats happening exactly in logs [12:02] To make it clearer, I have 2 monitors now. Had problems with one, fixed it by hardsetting the edid on /etc/default/grub and plugged in another monitor, now the second monitor (different brand) is being detected as the hardset one. [12:02] daftykins: I think the problem happened after I did upgrade from 14.04.1 to 14.04.3 [12:03] eahmedshendy: can you still try loading a previous kernel? [12:03] eahmedshendy: and you say this thing is a production server? lol you have so much to learn in this role, restore from backup [12:03] lotuspsychje, i do that it live usb. whete i detetect grub-mount process in top. by the way wich logs to look at? [12:03] bosyi: sure you can do a realtime tail -f /var/log/syslog and tail -f /var/log/dmesg [12:03] bosyi: then proceed to the step that hangs [12:04] lotuspsychje, i will try that and come back [12:04] bosyi: how many os you have? [12:04] bosyi: dualboot, triple boot? === uebera|| is now known as ueberall [12:06] lotuspsychje, i have two hard drives. both have ueifi partition. but using only one for boot archlinux. bootloader in arch is systemd boot [12:06] lotuspsychje: I have all of these http://paste.ubuntu.com/13597804/ and my current is 3.13.0-70-generic, which one is for ubuntu 14.04.1?

After an upgrade to ubutu 14.04 from 12 I've encountered an issue with name resolving. :-/ I've added a static route to my network and resolv.conf contains my preferred dns entries. [12:42] I've verified that I have a route to the IPs [12:42] Still I don't get any name resolve. [12:43] How does the name resolve pipline look like in ubuntu? :-( Is there some config file missing? [12:45] Hi. I'm trying to install nvidia drivers, why does it tries to install so much gnome/unity stuff, things about bluetooth, usb, network, etc? http://paste.ubuntu.com/13598387/ [12:46] I'm on 14.04 LTS. [12:48] Hi ! One of my boxes is stuck at kernel 3.19.0-9 and will not update any further. Says your software is up to date? [12:48] wapiflapi, fresh install ? seems like a bunch of normal updates [12:49] OerHeks: I don't use gnome or unity. [12:49] Volkodav: sudo apt install linux-generic [12:49] It's a server install, I don't want the DE. [12:49] how come you need nvidia drivers [12:49] I'm trying --no-install-recommends , might work ;-) didn't think of it at first. [12:49] on a server install [12:50] Because it's a laptop. I use the server install to not have the whole gnome/unity thing I don't want. [12:50] i second the "why nvidia" [12:50] I have two cat-commands which i wanna run a diff through. What have i done with my syntax? diff (cat datasets/q1data.txt | grep -o '[:]\{2\}[0-9]\{4\}[:]\{2\}') (cat datasets/q1hits.txt) [12:50] Because HDMI doesn't seem to work with nouveau :( [12:50] you can install alternative de's easily enough... [12:50] being a laptop means you want no DE but nvidia? that makes no sense [12:50] daftykins: Thanks, but why won't it pick it up as usual? [12:50] * moonpunter has never once used Unity [12:51] Volkodav: i think someone removed that package from your system, it's a metapackage which pulls in the newer ones. [12:51] someone/something [12:51] i thought on LTS releases there's a wall on the kernel support, after a point you don't get kernel updates? [12:51] I don't see the problem with starting from server and installing what I need on top, I feel like that's cleaner than installing what I want next to a bunch of stuff I don't want/neet. [12:52] *need [12:52] daftykins: Are you suggesting the box was compromised? [12:52] are you going to use a DE at all? [12:52] Volkodav: no, i'm suggesting that blob of pinkware sat in front of it, did it :) [12:52] moonpunter: no. WM yes, DE no. [12:52] perhaps unwittingly... [12:52] ok [12:53] well you're going to have to get the package for nvidia separately [12:53] I tried the --no-install-recommends , it looks like it did what I wanted ;) [12:53] ah, good [12:54] daftykins: we did solve the issue that day, with it needing me to manually mount the hd. so thanks. the next morning, it just worked. [12:54] daftykins: You're probably right, but how would that "blob of pinkware" lolz have a clue? [12:55] Volkodav: accidents happen, did it solve it or no? [12:55] hylian: i have no idea what you're referring to [12:55] daftykins: still loading the packages at 68% === dv__ is now known as dv_ [12:55] daftykins: i figured. let's just say you helped me, and I thank you for the help. :) [12:56] yay \o/ [12:56] past daftykins sounds ace [12:56] OK. Looks like I'm on nvidia now! Worked perfectly. Still no HDMI though. [12:56] mhm. [12:56] if you're X-less, how do you hope to output on HDMI? [12:56] he's got WM [12:56] presumably X [12:58] wapiflapi: what desktop gui are you using? [12:58] i3wm [12:58] do girls use Ubunutu? [12:58] you may end up having to compile the packages from source (the open ones) and turn on a flag or something. all i know is it's a hassle, nvidia is. [12:58] daftykins: never said I didn't have X. [12:58] daftykins: Got all kind of errors on install. Care to look at it? [12:59] Volkodav: sure throw it in a paste.ubuntu.com [12:59] BigTroll: i worked in a mall once and the girl at the sunglasses booth was using it randomly, i was like wtf really, and struck up a conversation about how much better xfce is than unity, which she didn't agree with [12:59] moonpunter: ahh, but it is. xfce rocks. unity is cool but a gfx resource hog. [13:00] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13598615/ [13:00] moonpunter: what a noob she was lol [13:00] * moonpunter is an xfce loyalist. at this point, even if he left ubuntu, he'd still be using xfce.

[13:40] Volkodav: not, the grub-install [13:40] just update-grub i think [13:41] someone here who has knowldege of lotus domino / lotus agents ? [13:42] All right all done I may as well boot into a new kernel and remove the previous one to watch the space on boot ? [13:42] or we installed to /root now? [13:42] Volkodav: boot is now a part of "/" so it's not a problem anymore [13:42] yeah [13:42] just make sure to run sudo apt-get autoremove every once in a while [13:42] hello, im trying to install a TFTP server in my machine, but when i start the client machine to download the system files, i have an error in the DHCP process. Any hint? [13:43] and it'll remove the extra kernels and other stuff [13:43] hmm so it for installed on btrfs? It was different though [13:43] I used to have to /boot because of btrfs and other reasons [13:43] oh [13:44] Hi, i'm wondering what happens if i'm updating a symlink with "ongoing" writes [13:44] are you using btrfs as "/" ? [13:44] Volkodav: type df -Th [13:44] yes [13:44] <_DB> sup [13:44] http://paste.ubuntu.com/13599260/ [13:45] <_DB> can anyone tell me a good way to make a windows vista usb [13:45] <_DB> I say vista because its the only iso I have , winusb doesnt works [13:45] EriC^^: /dev/sda2 btrfs 61G 18G 43G 29% / [13:45] <_DB> im currently downloading gparted [13:45] just the relevant part [13:45] Hello. I'm Ubuntu 14.04 user. After installing latest updates this weekend I have a problem with alsamixer. Every time a new application start a sound (e.g. I open a new video on Youtube or start Skype) my settings in alsamixer are dropped to defaults. Any ideas how to fix this? Here is my dpkg.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/13599270/ [13:46] <_DB> i need to remove the windows hiberfile so ubuntu can access it [13:46] <_DB> access my HDD that is ive been locked out of it by crappy windows features [13:48] EriC^^: I have to run - be back in a few hours please let me know if that btrfs is an issue [13:49] Volkodav: ok, you have a live usb right? [13:49] _DB: don't think there's an easy way to make windows boot flash drives from Ubuntu, also ugh Vista [13:49] Yes I do [13:49] <_DB> i know i just need to create it to run command prompt [13:49] Volkodav: i think we have to undo the operation and make /boot separate again [13:49] <_DB> so I can manually delete that file [13:49] EriC^^: So I thought [13:49] found this online "The GRUB bootloader does not support the Btrfs file system. You cannot use a btrfs partition for /boot." [13:50] _DB: so you can then mount the volume from Ubuntu? there's no need [13:50] <_DB> my computer powered off, during a graphics card update now it wont boot and when it does screens black. so if i delete that file I ccan atleast access it on ubuntu [13:50] <_DB> to install linux onto it [13:50] Volkodav: ok, well, i guess first you need to rm the extra 4.2 kernel you installed [13:50] _DB: nah just mount it with -o force i'd think [13:50] sudo apt-get purge linux-image-4.2.0-19-generic [13:51] Volkodav: then sudo nano /etc/fstab , and remove the "#" you added on the line that says /boot [13:51] <_DB> really? [13:51] guys i have a real issue -> http://9gag.com/gag/3841012 [13:51] <_DB> whats the link i dont use terminal much [13:51] <_DB> not link command sorry [13:51] Volkodav: then type sudo cp -a /boot /boot.old , then sudo rm -r /boot/* [13:51] Volkodav: then sudo mount /dev/sda2 /boot [13:51] Volkodav: then sudo cp -a /boot.old/* /boot [13:51] and you should be good :) [13:52] then sudo rm -r /boot.old if it's all ok in /boot [13:52] Volkodav: also, sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sda , and sudo update-grub [13:53] Volkodav: oh, typo sudo mount /dev/sda1 /boot [13:53] EriC^^: Yes - so it gets me back to square one - stuck with old kernel [13:53] not /dev/sda2 [13:54] EriC^^: [13:54] Volkodav: i guess you need to boot a live usb, and make the /boot partition larger if that's possible [13:54] too late [13:54] ran us /dev/sda2 [13:54] Volkodav: where did you reach in the steps [13:54] ok, and then? [13:55] all of them [13:55] then you said about the typo [13:55] Volkodav: ok, did you run rm -r /boot.old ? [13:56] yes i did [13:56] ok np, type sudo cp -a /boot /boot.old [13:56] then type sudo rm -r /boot/* [13:56] then type mount and pastebin it [13:57] still copying [13:58] EriC^^: Are you going to be around for 2-3 hours? I really appreciate your help but I have to run [13:58] Volkodav: i don't know, hold on a sec [13:58] just needs a min [13:58] forget mount [13:59] after sudo rm -r /boot/* , type sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt [13:59] it is stuck at cpoying [13:59] then type sudo cp -a /boot.old/* /mnt [13:59] oh wait [13:59] crap [13:59] press ctrl+c [13:59] it's cause the "/" is mounted at /boot [13:59] ok [13:59] hold on [14:00] type sudo rm -r /boot.old [14:00] ok [14:01] type sudo umount /boot [14:01] ok [14:01] I need to make this line to run on boot in Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop, where I should do that, I tried /etc/init and crontab: @reboot /path/to/script .. but I does not run [14:02] ok, type ls -la /boot , do you see the usual /boot there? [14:02] modprobe -r ideapad-laptop [14:02] nope - just root [14:03] Volkodav: you mean /bin /sbin /etc /home /root ? [14:03] eahmedshendy: if the idea is to not load that module on startup there are other, possibly better ways of achieving that [14:03] Volkodav: type sudo umount /boot , again [14:03] umount: /boot: not mounted [14:04] http://paste.ubuntu.com/13599553/ [14:04] Volkodav: ok, great, type sudo mount /dev/sda1 /boot [14:04] I have to build phantomjs from source and it keeps failing because inevitably over the 2 hour period it takes I lose the shell connection [14:04] Volkodav: then type sudo cp -a /boot.old/* /boot [14:05] cp: cannot stat ‘/boot.old/*’: No such file or directory [14:05] possible to just run ./make and exit session and have it continue to build? [14:05] hateball: Do you mean I should remove it form the kernel: rmmod ideapad-laptop? [14:05] EriC^^: cp: cannot stat ‘/boot.old/*’: No such file or directory [14:06] Volkodav: ok === ^CJ^ is now known as ^cj^ [14:06] eahmedshendy: create a new blacklist file in /etc/modprobe.d/ and add it there, is what I would do [14:07] Volkodav: not a big deal, type sudo apt-get install --reinstall grub2 [14:07] eahmedshendy: that's a very different task to a bricked server. [14:07] Volkodav: also, type sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-3.19.0-9-generic [14:08] noobs [14:08] daftykins: No this is just for a Desktop user, my problem with mysql has been solve, HOW ... I don't really know :D :D [14:08] Reinstallation of linux-image-3.19.0-9-generic is not possible, it cannot be downloaded [14:08] mmhmm [14:08] Volkodav: also, type sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-4.2.0-19-generic [14:09] hateball: I have a blacklist.conf file should I add it like this ... blacklist ideapad-laptop? [14:09] worst case scenario if it doesn't boot you can use a live usb to install an older one [14:09] eahmedshendy: yes, you can do that. or make a new file called blacklist-ideapad.conf, so you can tell them apart easy [14:10] right - older meaning 3.19.0.9 [14:10] yeah [14:10] hateball: got it [14:10] well let's see how it goes [14:10] eahmedshendy: you can't just hang out here all the time to do a job you're paid to do [14:11] wow done 4.2.0-19-generic [14:11] try to reboot? [14:11] Volkodav: yeah [14:11] it should I guess huh? [14:11] i guess so [14:11] let us know what happens! [14:11] brb and thanks again [14:12] who kicked me [14:12] BigTroll: if you have any issues with the guidelines in the ubuntu channels tal in #ubuntu-ops [14:12] BigTroll, doesn't matter who. follow the rules please. [14:13] *talk [14:14] ty niggaz i check the rules now [14:14] daftykins: I don't do that, I just run a script that has this line to do a task, but I didn't think about just blacklisting the module, I just run script manually ... really sorry daftykins if I just bother guys here .. I will learn to be more professional, but the time is so hard on me to learn many things [14:14] eahmedshendy: you shouldn't be in that job if you're going to ask everything here [14:15] daftykins: ok, do you suggest to quit, or improve myself with something? [14:15] quit from company [14:15] go on a course [14:16] Hi guys, how can I change the sensitivity of my mouse? I can only see the speed and its set to the slowest value, but it's still too fast [14:17] I am reading this book: http://www.amazon.com/Linux-Bible-Christopher-Negus/dp/1118999878/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1448979412&sr=1-1&keywords=linux+bible [14:17] acyt, http://askubuntu.com/questions/134323/cant-slow-down-the-pointer-speed-enough [14:17] eahmedshendy: that conversation is not really for this channel [14:18] ansivirus: tried using xset but I can't really feel a difference setting values lower than 1 1, and that is still too fast [14:18] ikonia: Ok, he just blame me that I ask week questions and recommended me to learn and I just told me that I am reading something .. sorry for bother guys ... I am leaving the channel now :) [14:19] Thank you all [14:19] ansivirus: The speed is fine, it's the acceleration, it's too sensitive so I keep missing the corners of screens or links when I want to click on something [14:19] well did you try xset m 0.1 1 [14:19] ? [14:20] first value is your acceleration, second is speed.. so if 1 as speed seems good then try decimals for acceleration. You should not pass 0 as a value === ELCALOR is now known as \ === \ is now known as ELCALOR [14:22] ansivirus: http://pastebin.com/VEhPCYxs [14:22] ansivirus: none of them really worked as expected, all the decimal values give me a similar speed than 1 0 or 1 1 [14:25] Can someone tell me if this rfkill output is normal?

[15:03] JH151: It looks like the newer versions of samba are sitting in debian experimental right now, so I wouldn't expect that there is a high chance of seeing those copied over to Ubuntu for 16.04, especially since it is an LTS. [15:03] EriC^^: mount: mount point /mnt/boot does not exist [15:03] rsep: its #python, but you need to be registered/identified to join (ask in #freenode if you need to know how to do that) [15:04] Volkodav: oh, what did sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt return?

[15:54] Fudgie, not sure of that :-( [15:54] Volkodav: you got grub and booted into ubuntu, and it was running the 3.19 kernel?

[15:58] _Avocado_: dual boot [15:58] _Avocado_: It depends on which version you're trying to use, but yeah, Eric^^ is probably right, dual boot is easiest. [15:58] <_Avocado_> EriC^^, can´t, got only 64gb ssd on this small laptop [15:58] Here's a link to running a version in WINE: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=25607 [15:59] <_Avocado_> does it work flawlessly though? [15:59] <_Avocado_> on WINE? [15:59] <_Avocado_> Having to tweak every little bug that occurs is not the way to go for productivity :/ [16:00] <_Avocado_> I heard adobe CC works in wine [16:00] _Avocado_: yeah, so that really just leaves you with dual boot. You could boot windows off an external HDD since you don't have space. [16:00] <_Avocado_> research1, that´s also an option yeah, external hdd [16:00] <_Avocado_> dangit i should buy a new laptop soon [16:00] _Avocado_: fwiw ubuntu is like 7gb [16:01] _Avocado_: bummer. Maybe Adobe will release native packages in the future... [16:01] OerHeks what am I able to do lol [16:01] <_Avocado_> what is fwiw? EriC^^ [16:01] for what it's worth [16:01] Can someone tell me if this rfkill output is normal? Because sometimes after wake from sleep, 3: brcmwl-0 shows a hardware blocked.

[16:10] Volkodav: ok, so earlier 3.19 booted not 4.2 right? [16:11] ha depends on the VM, virtualbox? [16:11] oh boy. 2gb RAM, Intel Atom? may need a more lightweight distro like lubuntu or xubuntu for that one, _Avocado_ [16:11] VMWare [16:11] and it looks like you'll have to turn off UEFI and go to Legacy boot [16:11] http://www.tomsguide.com/answers/id-2538379/acer-aspire-sw5-012-refuses-boot-windows-recovery.html [16:12] EriC^^: right [16:12] <_Avocado_> nicomachus, woah, thanks for looking that up [16:12] oh, vmware i don't know. [16:12] <_Avocado_> nicomachus, do you recommend 32bit or 64bit? [16:12] <_Avocado_> nicomachus, my processor is 64bits, but they delivered 32bit os [16:12] and after our previous attempts it booted with wrong res no mouse etc [16:12] _Avocado_: the factory installed a 32bit version of windows?? [16:13] <_Avocado_> nicomachus, yeah [16:13] ha: You can install open-vm-tools-lts-trusty that should be fine [16:13] ha: if you're running 14.04 [16:13] that's just... kinda strange. but 64-bit would be best. === Piper-Off is now known as Monthrect [16:15] EriC^^: and after our previous attempts it booted with wrong res no mouse etc [16:16] _Avocado_: fyi, with 2GB you'd actually have _more_ memory if you used 32bit instead of 64bit... just sayin' [16:16] <_Avocado_> zykotick9, yeah i´ve read that too [16:16] EriC^^: Should I umount everything get out of chroot and reboot?

[17:26] paultjuh: sudo lshw -C video [17:26] GT218 [GeForce 210] [17:27] driver-> nouveau [17:27] EriC^^: Or try to install in / and forget about all this hustle for good? [17:28] paultjuh: have you tryed other drivers from additional drivers section? [17:28] lotuspsychje: also, dual monitor setup [17:28] Volkodav: yeah, try moving /boot to "/" it might work [17:28] Volkodav: do you want to give it a shot? [17:29] lotuspsychje: not yet, are those the propietary? [17:29] Sure - btrfs can grow rather easy [17:29] I guess /ducks [17:29] paultjuh: check whats on your list mate, best driver is the one that works best on your system right [17:29] Volkodav: ok, type cp -a /boot /boot.old [17:30] lotuspsychje: trying out nvidia-340 now, let's see how that works [17:31] paultjuh: ok good luck mate [17:31] !recovery | paultjuh if things go wrong [17:31] paultjuh if things go wrong: 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 [17:31] EriC^^: ok [17:32] hey guys, i'd like to make a new partion on my ssd where actually i have ubuntu, and install also windows 10. how can i do it [17:32] lotuspsychje: how do I switch this back on the command line? as recovery might not boot into graphics? [17:32] Volkodav: type sudo umount /boot [17:33] paultjuh: purge nvidia [17:33] ok [17:33] ok thanks [17:33] let's restart then [17:34] Hm I got my SD Card reader working, but now its mounting in /media/thomas/ and only I can access it I need all users to be able to access it [17:35] hello world [17:35] hello sky [17:36] EriC^^: I guess we have to remove /boot and grow / to swallow it? [17:36] after restarts no flashes so far, but it is once every x minutes, so I have to wait to see if it works fine [17:36] french ?

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [17:36] Volkodav: type sudo nano /etc/fstab then add a "#" at the start of the line that says /boot [17:37] paultjuh: open a tail -f /var/log/syslog from terminal [17:37] paultjuh: and fool around a bit with your system, youtube 1080p, vlc [17:37] lotuspsychje: I have that open indeed, not that I saw anything usefull the previous time [17:37] i love speak french and many other language [17:38] Hello guys, how do i get the local ip after its beign assigned? [17:38] fabio_: you can see how your NICs are configured with ifconfig command [17:38] fabio_: ip a [17:40] EriC^^, its possible to get only the result of wlan0? [17:40] any way i could get help? [17:40] lotuspsychje: you available? [17:40] lotuspsychje: it is 15.10 btw, [17:41] !dualboot | Paradisee read this [17:41] Paradisee read this: 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 [17:41] still no flashes so far, so it probably solved my problem [17:41] ty [17:41] fabio_: ip a s wlan0 [17:41] Paradisee: but i would firmware upgrade your ssd, install ubuntu single,and test w10 from a virtualbox [17:41] lotuspsychje: thanks for the help, should remember those additional drivers [17:41] !yay | paultjuh_ [17:41] paultjuh_: Glad you made it! :-) [17:41] lotuspsychje: i tried w10 from the vm [17:41] EriC^^: Ok done [17:42] good even sir MonkeyDust [17:42] lotuspsychje [17:42] ning [17:42] somehow I just got my other problem back though... Not sure if it is an ubuntu problem, but seems to be: when clicking on a link in a program, it will open a new window in chrome, with an empty tab, instead of opening a new tab with that link [17:43] lotuspsychje: so should i just make a ntfs partion for win? [17:43] paultjuh_: if you see video at all after installing that driver, you're doing very well :D [17:43] Paradisee: im not the best help for dualbooting as i dont like it sorry [17:43] Gallomimia: haha, well hopefully it solves my flashing issues, it was very annoying, but nothing yet [17:43] i dont like it neither.. [17:43] but i need it unfortunally [17:44] !uefi > Paradisee read this also if system is uefi [17:44] paultjuh_: you'll also get mad 3d acceleration [17:44] win doesnt work really well on the vm [17:44] lotuspsychje: it is uefi, yes.. [17:44] well, from what i can tell paradisee the first step you want to do is split your drive and make a second partition. this usually does not destroy data, but i recommend backups anyway [17:44] Paradisee i have w10 in vmaware player, works good, be it a bit slow [17:44] vmware* [17:45] llutz, its possible to output only the ip? without all the trash... [17:45] usually the steps involved in easily creating a dual-boot system is to install windows first, then ubuntu second. sounds like you're not going to do it that way [17:45] Gallomimia: i made a backup actually [17:45] Gallomimia: i have already ubuntu. [17:45] is this ubuntu support? [17:46] hello [17:46] good! try using the Disks program to resize your ubuntu partition and make a new one for the windows. NTFS i think you're right [17:46] never used win before [17:46] Paradisee: i strongly advise you firmware ssd, your ssd will suffer speed issues otherwise [17:46] yes lintux it is [17:46] help pokerstars wont install [17:46] Gallomimia: i will make a partion with parted then. [17:46] fabio_:LANG=C ip a s wlan0|awk '/inet / {print $2}' [17:46] hello , anyone know how to permanent set nvidia brightness on desktop ? it auto reset to 0 value even I set it -30 [17:46] any i couldnt get on webchat [17:46] had to to download xchat [17:46] lintux: pokerstars.... is it a linux program? probably windows only [17:47] Volkodav: type sudo cp -a /boot.old/* /boot [17:47] nbusrone: yes i saw that a few days ago... [17:47] lintux, pokerstars is a windows app, use wine [17:47] !brightness | nbusrone [17:47] it's windows and mac but i have wine [17:47] !wine [17:47] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [17:47] V [17:47] http://dpaste.com/3N5032B [17:47] llutz, what that LANG=C means? [17:47] this is what i have so far [17:47] lintux, see their database [17:47] i have it and it still wont open up right [17:47] argh nothing for brightness [17:47] where should i make the partition? [17:48] fabio_: to make sure output is in english [17:48] jo [17:48] hi [17:48] whenever i login i get the error : vboxclient the virtualbox kernel service is not running. exiting. [17:48] lintux: see in the wine app database what to do to get that program in wine working [17:48] nbusrone: there's a page on brightness. search google for brightness ubuntu [17:48] thoughi dont have any virtualbox installed [17:48] i created some virtuelenv, but dont see the connection [17:48] database what? [17:48] appdb.winehq.org [17:48] whytrytofly: "dpkg -l | grep -i virtualbox" [17:48] Gallomimia : I am using nvidia driver , not intel [17:48] Paradisee: you probably should resize your linux partition first if you want to install windows on the side [17:49] whytrytofly: in a pastebin please [17:49] lintux, see the url from ubottu, or join #winehq for application help, we don't. [17:49] paultjuh_: http://dpaste.com/3N5032B which one [17:49] EriC^^: OK [17:49] !appdb [17:49] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [17:49] lintux: ^ see this [17:49] Paradisee: the second one (ext4) [17:50] last one is swap, first one is boot (seems to be a left over of a previous windows install?) [17:50] will i lose the datas? [17:50] Paradisee: not if you do it correctly [17:50] llutz, just one more thing. how do i remove the / from de adddress? [17:50] ok ill try it have another question [17:50] actually i need 50gb for win [17:50] when watching videos the screen goes black [17:50] llutz, the output is this 192.168.1.120/24 [17:50] http://pastebin.com/ELe8RcX1 [17:51] llutz, i want to remove the /24 part [17:51] how do I stop screen going black when watching videos? [17:51] Is it a general concern that 14.04 does not use an LTS kernel? [17:51] whytrytofly: see: you still have virtualbos stuff installed [17:51] lintux: it's important to know what programs give you a black screen [17:51] lintux: ubuntu version and graphics card chipset? [17:51] whytrytofly: is this inside a VM? [17:51] Volkodav: ok, type sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sda , then sudo update-grub [17:51] k1l: no [17:51] i cannot resize the partition.....even create a new one. [17:51] fabio_: add "|cut -d'/' -f1" or fiddle with awk/sed [17:52] 14.04 nvidia [17:52] Paradisee: so you first need enough free space on your linux partition, not to sure anymore how to resize your primary linux partition, usually it is the easiest to boot into a live cd [17:52] whytrytofly: sudo apt-get purge virtualbox* [17:52] cool [17:52] lintux: wich card exactly? [17:52] llutz, thanks mate [17:52] ill pastebin a command but dont know the command [17:52] Paradisee: 120 seems a bit tight on space for dual boot [17:52] k1l: ok relogin to check [17:53] rift-: what do you mean by that? [17:53] paultjuh_: got another hd with 1tb [17:53] these 2 os will be sit on the ssd [17:53] not using an LTS means that ubuntu 14.04 maintainers have to backport kernel changes themselves. It would seem better to have kernel developers handle that by going with an LTS kernel. [17:53] and i also just need 50gb for win [17:53] an LTS kernel, that is [17:53] what command i run to tell you exactly please? [17:53] lintux: sudo lshw -C video [17:54] rift-: they do handle the kernels quite well on ubuntu. [17:54] Paradisee: ah like that, the easiest to resize your primary linux partition is to boot into a live cd/usb [17:54] rift- LTS is a ubuntu/canonical concept, not a linux/kernel concept [17:54] rift-, 14.04 lts does not use an lts kernel ?? [17:54] rift-: and they support it for 5 years. [17:54] Paradisee: then resize with gparted [17:54] paultjuh_: by insert the win10 dvd? [17:54] MonkeyDust: nope, it's a kernel concept too, see http://kernel.org [17:54] or you mean by using gparted as live? [17:55] Paradisee: you cannot resize your partition while you're booted from it. boot from something else, then give it a go [17:55] Paradisee: do you have a ubuntu cd/usb? [17:55] paultjuh_: nope, but i can make a live cd [17:55] rift-: the issue is the release date of the LTS kernels. no one wants an old kernel in a release. [17:55] http://pastebin.com/Zq7TmUX4 [17:56] OerHeks: correct, 14.04 uses a non-longterm support kernel. [17:56] lintux: ok, your card is optimus, did you install nvidia-prime? [17:56] Paradisee: I would make a usb stick, don't burn cd's that is old fashioned ;) [17:56] So, hash sum mismatch on no.archive.ubuntu.com [17:56] wily-updates [17:57] get it lotus? [17:57] Rounin: just wait untill the servers are synced again [17:57] paultjuh_: i dont have usb :D === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [17:57] k1l: Alrighty [17:57] i think so [17:57] EriC^^: done [17:57] how can i check it? [17:57] lintux: can you check additional drivers, wich driver is active? [17:57] Paradisee: that sounds strange, but ok :) [17:58] paultjuh_: do i need a live cd or an os? [17:58] lintux: sudo apt-get install nvidia-prime [17:58] can you point me out? so i can download it. [17:58] k1l: the issue I brought up is whether it is wise to use a non-longterm support kernel, as in 14.04. [17:58] rift-: its a longterm support kernel supported not by kernel.org but by ubuntu. [17:58] Paradisee: [17:59] let me check if you burn a psyical cd :) [17:59] i just noticed that ubuntu 15.10 uses freetype 2.5.2 which is two years old [17:59] nvidia-340 [17:59] is active [17:59] it has lots of unfixed security vulnerabilities: http://www.freetype.org/ [17:59] paultjuh_: going with an usb one [17:59] the ubuntu install cd ships with live and gparted isn't it? Paradisee needs to resize his root partition [17:59] lintux: nvidia-prime installed also? [17:59] paultjuh_: i hope got enough space [17:59] rift-: the issue is: ubuntu got fixed release dates and cant wait untill the kernel.org guys thing their kernel is ready. so there is no chance to match those release dates [18:00] Paradisee: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/contribute/?version=15.10&architecture=amd64 [18:00] k1l: which means that kernel developers are disconnected with whatever is going on with 14.04. It seems a bit odd. [18:00] rift-: so its the ubuntu kernel developers who support the kernel version. [18:00] rift-: no [18:00] i dont see anything that says nvidia prime [18:00] upstream linux kernel devs are not necessarily ubuntu kernel devs [18:01] k1l: kernel.org is different from ubuntu [18:01] rift-: ubuntu got a bunch of kernel developers who actually work on kernel.org anyway. its just you jugding they are not worth of knowing what they do? [18:01] paultjuh_: downloading.. [18:01] paultjuh_: will it be a live? [18:01] when I click on a link chrome just opens a new window with an empty tab, this seems to be new on 15.10. Any suggestions? [18:02] Paradisee: yes, you can choose between "trying out ubuntu" or install [18:02] Paradisee: then pick the first [18:02] does it have gparted? [18:02] lintux: sudo apt-get install nvidia-prime [18:02] Paradisee: not 100% sure, bit handicapped atm, I don't have an usb stick, as I'm not at home [18:03] ill give a try [18:03] does the livecd / recovery mode part of the ubuntu server cd have ssh-server? [18:03] k1l: that's your projection. Just saying that the duplication of effort is unfortunate. Why not use a longterm kernel from kernel.org ? I guess it comes down to a political decision to release every so-and-so months. [18:03] i suppose it has parted [18:03] Paradisee, server has no live mode [18:03] *server.iso* [18:03] ok [18:04] Paruza, any other ubuntu iso has live mode, but not sshserver installed, but you can install in a live environment [18:04] Paradisee: seems to have gparted indeed [18:04] ok ran it bottom line says 0 upgraded 0 newly installed [18:04] EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13603165/ [18:04] political decisions don't always coincide with the best technical decisions [18:04] rift-: ubuntu got fixed fixed release dates and ships LTS way before kernel did start doing LTS. and people dont want old kernels in a new release. [18:04] i'd use the desktop version except its too large for a regular cd, which in this case is relevant [18:05] rghose fix your connection please [18:05] anyone have a favorite live cd repair distro? [18:05] Paruza: everyone uses flash drives today [18:05] rift-: i dont understand why you are making it an issue? there is neither an issue with stability or security updates on the ubuntu kernels, nor with kernel.org having other distributions support their work longer than they do. [18:06] lintux: ok now open nvidia-settings [18:06] lintux: and enable performance mode [18:06] yeah this is a pretty old server [18:06] I have eth0(private IP) and eth1(public IP). I can only ping the unit with the local ip on my private network. Why can't I ping it on the public? [18:07] i dont think it added anything do i need to add a new repo? [18:07] It's not like having a different kernel is new by any stretch of the imagination. Look at rhel, or even debian. They all have maintainers for their kernels, and their primary kernels aren't necessary LTS. [18:07] Paruza Ultilex rescue [18:07] Paruza: i happen to have the liveUSB booted right now. the answer is no, it does not have an ssh server pre-installed [18:07] why does it matter what kernel your distro ships with? you can install a newer kernel if you want. [18:08] anyone knows how to fix the link-click issue? [18:08] Gallomimia: that's a ridiculous notion [18:08] Paruza http://thinknic.com/tag/rescue/ [18:08] k1l: those sound like strawmen. I wasn't advocating putting old kernels in new releases, just matching longterm kernels with Ubuntu LTS. As I said, this conflicts with the release-every-so-and-so months schedule of Ubuntu. [18:08] what is the link-click issue ? [18:08] I click a link [18:08] lintux: no repo, just try to open nvidia-settings please [18:09] and instead of opening a new tab with that link, it opens a new window, with an empty tab [18:09] distortedvoice: maybe your router is blocking the pings from WAN? check its settings [18:09] only happens on ubuntu 15.10 with chrome [18:09] nvidia xserver settings i have performance mode ticked [18:09] rift-: you cant match that when you keep strict release dates on ubuntu, right. [18:09] lintux: ok, seems like everything is fine then [18:09] lintux: so whats happening exactly with your screen? [18:10] daftykins: i'm not sure if i understand the point of the discussion at all. but it's marginally offtopic and borderline troll. [18:10] rift-: is that is what you want, then you will dont get that on ubuntu. other distributions have "when its done" releases but most even changed to fixed dates. [18:10] ill be watching a video and after a few minutes if i dont move my mouse screen goes to sleep [18:11] lintux: normal behavior. turn it off in settings [18:11] rift-: i am not aware of a distribution waiting for the "when its done" LTS kernel release dates. [18:11] i tried where in setttings power? ived tried and couldnt [18:12] it's the second setting in there. "brightness and lock" [18:13] Volkodav: ok, type exit then try rebooting [18:13] guys far be it from me to winch about off-topic, but talking about LTS concepts is not talking about support. is that correct? [18:13] all right [18:13] Gallomimia: the original question was about ubuntu 14.04 [18:14] ok think i got it thanks! [18:14] !yay | lintux [18:14] lintux: Glad you made it! :-) [18:14] http://foss-sthlm.haxx.se/rms2016.html [18:15] bittin: no advertising here [18:15] lotuspsychje: ah sorry [18:16] am I really the only one who uses chrome? it seems to be a consisten issue with ubuntu 15.10 + chrome [18:16] EriC^^: All good in the 'hood man! [18:16] Volkodav: great! [18:16] let me check the mount [18:16] ok [18:17] paultjuh_: use chroium instead [18:17] Gallomimia, I have tried pinging from my VPS [18:17] chromium [18:18] hellouuu [18:18] lotuspsychje: what is the difference between chromium and chrome? [18:19] EriC^^: So technically I can format that sda1 of 90 mb right? [18:19] Volkodav: yeah [18:19] Not that it matters anymore really [18:20] paultjuh_ http://www.diffen.com/difference/Chromium_vs_Google_Chrome [18:20] hello , anyone know how to permanent set nvidia brightness on desktop ? it auto reset to 0 value even I set it -30 [18:20] nbusrone: do you know the command to set it to -30 ? [18:20] nbusrone: funny [18:21] EriC^^: and grow / to the left to absorb it [18:21] Gallomimia, it's like it is only connecting to the internet through the private ip [18:21] Volkodav: is it easy in btrfs? [18:21] btrfs should be able to do -yeah [18:22] not sure if I can do mounted pretty sure I can [18:22] cool [18:22] That's one of the beauty features of that [18:23] EriC^^ , rtarrfert : which command ? [18:23] can even grow over the disks and partitions pretty sure [18:23] ok, this fixes the link click issue indeed [18:23] i want to disable the "insert" key for example [18:23] how do i change the functionality of certain keys [18:23] !yay | paul-kk [18:23] paul-kk: Glad you made it! :-) [18:24] EriC^^: I guess I'll take it from here - thanks a lot! [18:24] Volkodav: ok, no problem! [18:24] !cookie | EriC^^ [18:24] EriC^^: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [18:24] box with u-desktop installed, but I am using it as a headless server. how do I disable the desktop from launching? [18:24] thanks lotuspsychje [18:25] CarlFK: why did you install desktop on a server? [18:25] lotuspsychje: it wasn't a server when I installed ;) [18:26] CarlFK: what did you do exactly and what for? [18:26] TJ-: Hello [18:27] ioria: Hello [18:27] Hello guys! I've got this weird issue when i connect my work vpn, after 10-20 minutes i can't reach anything, and my ssh sessions hangs. I can relog, and all is good. syslog gets spammed by avahi-daemon saying it recieved a packet from an invalid interface, but leaves no hints about the host nor the interface. What can I do now? [18:28] lotuspsychje: assume I installed wily from a CD, installed openssh-server, and now I don't want the desktop coming up so that I have a little more memory for running a video encoder. [18:29] EriC^^ , rtarrfert : which command for brightness on nvidia ? sorry newbie on it [18:29] ? [18:29] nbusrone: i meant do you know how to set the brightness from the console? [18:30] lotuspsychje: if you want more details on the setup, here they are: https://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar/blob/master/setup/nodes/pxe/shaz/var/www/lc/late.sh [18:30] CarlFK: "systemctl disable graphical.target" [18:31] CarlFK: im just confused, why dont you just use ubuntu server instead of desktop? [18:31] TJ-: thanks === rax-Y is now known as rax- [18:31] lotuspsychje: because i know there is quicker way. like what TJ just said [18:31] motaka2: how did the release-upgrade progress? [18:33] TJ-: my friend who sleeps in the office turned of modem so we lost connection during midnight, so I ended to no result [18:33] turned off [18:33] wat [18:34] motaka2: !! I think you maybe cut your losses and do a clean, fresh, install of 15.10 from the ISO. You've already lost so much time, and there is no guarantee the system will end up in a stable state. [18:34] TJ-: I have a 14.04 DVD, can I use that ? [18:35] TJ-: Is there much difference between 14 and 15? [18:35] motaka2: Yes, that's an LTsS (Long Term Support) release so you can upgrade that to 16.04 LTS next year when that has been released [18:36] motaka2: There are a lot of improvements since 14.04, but you should try to keep on an LTS given your situation. That avoids needing to do 6 monthly release-upgrades to keep support. [18:37] TJ-: +1 [18:37] TJ-: Ok, I will put the DVD in the tray [18:37] TJ-: Thanks for you great help [18:37] motaka2: So, back-up your user data and important configurations, passwords, keys, certificates - anything you've created over time, and then do a clean install of 14.04 [18:38] needs help in grub 2.02 beta, basically I want to totally hide it [18:39] EriC^^ : nope , I tried it last time but can't remember and it auto revert back to normal setting to 0 [18:39] danzka: type cat /etc/default/grub [18:39] 1 sec [18:39] paste the output in paste.ubuntu.com [18:39] TJ-: I dont know how to do that.

[18:44] motaka2: To the Windows PC. As well as PuTTY there's a program called WinSCP, that allows you to use 'scp' (secure/ssh copy) to move files. So you can create a ZIP file on the Linux PC and transfer it to your Windows PC using WinSCP [18:44] hi [18:45] motaka2: there are many free cloud services, or try what TJ- suggest to your win lap [18:45] nbusrone: try ls /sys/class/backlight [18:45] some body is use ubuntu server? [18:46] crveni: #ubuntu-server [18:46] TJ-: Win lap has 7 gigs of free space in two drives [18:46] TJ-: It is also very slow when it comes to copying [18:46] Hi, has anyone seen where a DVD burned with 15.10 is reported as a blank DVD when I insert it into an older server ? [18:47] danzka: try sudo nano /etc/default/grub , set GRUB_TIMEOUT=1 , and fix GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET [18:47] motaka2: that should be more than enough - depending on how much data is in your home directory of course. use "du -hs $HOME" to find out [18:47] is somebody use ubuntu server?

[18:55] danzka: GRUB will display the boot menu if the OS didn't clear the simple boot flag at shutdown, which is used to indicate to the boot-loader that the last boot was good. If the last boot was bad you will likely want to try Recovery, or an alternate kernel, so GRUB shows that menu. Some hardware makes setting that flag difficult or impossible [18:56] TJ-: I will reinstall everything [18:56] motaka2: do you have, or can you borrow, an external USb flash thumb drive temporarily? [18:57] TJ-: I have an 8GB [18:58] TJ-: All my aps were free, I can reinstall them.

I'm using 14.04 [18:59] TJ- I hear you but the system is freshly installed and perfectly stable, no hardware issues as far as i can tell, the boot config are perfect and the grub file is carefully modified as you can see, I am banging my head against the wall for the last 2 days, without any luck :/ [19:00] !info arandr | ubuntu327 try this perhaps?

Version 0.1.8-1 (wily), package size 49 kB, installed size 301 kB [19:01] danzka: like I said, sometimes the hardware doesn't allow the CMOS simple boot flag to be set correctly, or else GRUB can't read it. There are a combination of reasons why it can happen. But, if you don't like it, you can modify the script generated into /boot/grub/grub.cfg by "update-grub" by looking at /etc/grub.d/00_header and modifying it accordingly [19:01] I already did that [19:02] TJ- is there any other file which can affect the behaviour of grub? [19:02] lotuspsychje: the resolution detected is the same on both displays, but they are not the same [19:03] ubuntu327: you have the correct driver for your graphics card? [19:03] danzka: check that recordfail != 1, that's the key [19:04] lotuspsychje: I believe I do, it's intel graphics and ubuntu has got good support for it [19:04] cool thanks TJ- I will ;) [19:04] TJ-: How can I earse everything including windows which was previousely installed on this machine? [19:05] motaka2: use the installer, there's an option to do a complete full install that replaces everything [19:05] TJ-: Erase ubuntu 12.04 and reinstall ? [19:05] danzka: try dropping to the GRUB console at the boot menu and using "set" to check the value of recordfail, timeout, and other relavent variables so you know *why* GRUB shows the mneu [19:06] ubuntu327: sudo lshw -C video please? [19:06] motaka2: the installer will offer the option to repartition and format the entire disk [19:06] lotuspsychje: http://pastebin.com/HBUgwyXq [19:08] ubuntu327: ok looking good, what does arandr show on both screens?

[19:21] lotuspsychje: Looks like it's not properly picking up the fact that it's 2 different monitors [19:21] lotuspsychje: can you point me in the right direction to editing the xorg.conf file?

[21:02] I will check the channels, I am not very good with irc, will try to find knoppix people [21:02] Delta706: #sql might be a good place to start, but also ask ALIS as ubottu suggested [21:03] ah yes, #sql sounds ideal. thanks [21:03] good bye nice ubuntu people [21:09] Hi [21:10] I'm setting up my home server with ubuntu server 15.10 [21:10] I'm planning to to the following: [21:10] have a boot partition outisde lvm [21:10] feed the rest to lvm [21:11] in the logical partition (I hope I'm using the terms right), I plan to have a few partitions, e.g. one for tmp [21:11] I'm unsure about swap. Do I need this? I have 16 GB of RAM, which is probably plenty :) [21:12] oh, and all as raid1. [21:12] Hinnerk: sounds about right, using LVM you'll have a Volume Group containing the Logical Volumes. it might help to have a small 'swap' of say 4GiB just in-case [21:12] Hinnerk: If you plan to suspend/hibernate, then you'll still want to have swap [21:12] my understanding is, that ubuntu install will guide me through this, but i'm not sure if it will take care of raid1 and if it will allow me to have several partitions inside the logical one. [21:13] Hinnerk: if there's plenty of space I'd recommend not allocating all the space to LVs immediately; you can resize (lvextend ...) LVs and ext* file-systems (resize2fs...) later, online [21:13] 4 GiB won't be a problem, I have 3TB available :) [21:13] Hinnerk: the server installer can deal with RAID as I recall [21:13] oh, I thought the resizing happened within lvm? [21:14] TJ: I read a primer on a slightly older ubuntu version, so you may be right. [21:14] Hinnerk: 'lvextend --resizefs ..." can, yes [21:14] and about the several partitions within? [21:14] e.g. root, home, tmp, var? [21:14] Hinnerk: other file-systems may not have that online resize support [21:15] Hinnerk: sounds about the same as how I do it, yes [21:15] will ubuntu setup guide me through this or do i need to do a manual process? [21:16] @TJ: Glad you do the same, so I didn't read up to junk :) [21:16] Hinnerk: it's a long time since I used the installer to do that so I can't say for sure, but I think it does, it uses the standard debian-installer which has all those facilities [21:17] well, if I mess up, I can always start over... [21:17] Hinnerk: I generally make use of many LVs, to make portability between different base releases possible and easy [21:17] Hinnerk: e.g. I can reboot into several different Ubuntu releases to test the hardware, and still mount all the common non-version-specific mounts [21:18] Is there an issue with windows clients accessing files? [21:18] Hinnerk: LVs as the storage for virtual machines is also very useful [21:18] Hinnerk: Using samba that shouldn't be too much of a problem, although I don't use it, or windows [21:18] Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 15.04 a few days ago and I keep having the error:: 'Internal Error! Ubuntu 15.04 has experienced a fatal error! ' please how do I correct this error? [21:19] yep, i was thinking about virtual machines, but decided it was overkill [21:19] I've had it like 5 times now [21:19] How do I turn on IPv6? I am attempting to get to an IPv6 address, and it is not working. [21:20] hy everybody [21:20] OneM_Industries: You try to get an IPv6 address from where? [21:20] I am attempting to go to an IPv6 address. [21:20] Hinnerk: if you want to do testing it's very nice to create a 8GiB LV, do a debootstrap install into it, boot it as a Guest, run tests, and then dispose of it afterwards and have the space back for something else, without the guest image being part of a file-system [21:20] OneM_Industries: From what? Your router? [21:21] ubuntu system requirements says it needs 5gb, but what size do you advise? [21:21] OneM_Industries: does your PC, and your route to the Internet, include IPv6 capability? [21:21] I am not sure about the route to the internet, but the connection info pages shows IPv6 as ignored. [21:22] greyline_: ~15GB for / and rest for /home where all the data from the users land [21:22] OneM_Industries: IS your computer connected to a router? [21:22] So I fixed my resolution problem locally by throwing an xrandr script into the DE's autostart. I've noticed however that the greeter/dm doesn't bork the resolution until I've logged into a DE and then back out... [21:22] Yes. [21:22] OneM_Industries: Does the router include the capability to provide IPv6 addresses? [21:22] k1l_: i won't use ubuntu as my only os, so what do you mean "rest"? [21:23] greyline_: as much as you think your personal data will need. like fotos, music, etc. [21:23] k1l_: okay [21:24] I don't think our router supports IPv6, drat. [21:24] next question: I will use the server as a fileserver and also have owncloud installed. [21:24] Well, I guess I don't get to see what was on that site... [21:25] in which filesystem will the data reside? [21:25] home? var? [21:25] OneM_Industries: you could use a 4-to-6 tunnel [21:25] Oh? [21:25] I am just attempting to go to: http://[2607:fc88:100:2c:0:bad:c0:ffee]/ [21:26] OneM_Industries: technically it's 6to4 but not from the direction you're viewing it :) [21:26] Ok.

[21:27] OneM_Industries: it seems to redirect to www.starbucks.com [21:27] What the... [21:27] Hinnerk: that'd depend on where those packages install files [21:28] Someone appears to be pranking me. Thank you. [21:28] Ello [21:28] TJ: No, I mean where stores owncloud its data? [21:28] Hinnerk: In a filesystem and in a database. [21:28] and would the fileserver store file in home? [21:28] Anyone good at braids or hair ? Sorry don't know where to ask [21:28] Had a Ubuntu question earlier [21:28] Hinnerk: you can set owncloud to store the data where you want [21:29] where would i want it? [21:29] OneM_Industries: well the hex at the end of the IPv6 address does spell 'bad coffee' [21:29] Hinnerk: Because of the separation of data between users. you can store your personal data in owncloud without other users being able to access it.

[21:29] Hinnerk: maybe you should set it up an a virtual machine first, and explore the capabilities of owncloud.

Does wget's cancel and resume technique work with mp4 videos? [21:32] Redblue: the file type is irrelevant for wget. [21:32] ok [21:32] Hinnerk: on your home connection to the internet that is slow in comparison with a real server [21:32] Redblue: the capabilities oof the server are relevant, instead. [21:33] k11: it was slow in lan [21:33] and how do I find if the server is capable of allowing wget to resume downloads? [21:33] the nas is a tad old [21:33] Redblue: By try&error. [21:34] lol ok === Agent_Isai is now known as Agent_Christmas === Agent_Christmas is now known as Agent_NewYears [21:35] bekks: so, home filesystem is where owncloud stores data? === Agent_NewYears is now known as Agent_Christmas [21:37] Hinnerk: that is a setting you can set to where you want it [21:37] Hinnerk: the standard on install is /var/www/owncloud/data [21:37] and for the fileserver, it would also be home in some user that us open to everyone? [21:39] Q: Why are most themes created for GTK+ versions far above what's currently used? Are themes only for people that like bleeding edge stuff? [21:40] swap should be outside lvm? [21:40] VictoriaXOXO: that's probably a question not for here... [21:40] Okay. [21:40] VictoriaXOXO: usually theme-makers make the themes for the most recent versions so they dont get outdated so fast. [21:41] k1l_: Oh, okay. Makes sense. :P [21:41] I just started the install and selected partioning of full hdd and lvm [21:41] no the next question i don't understand. [21:41] it is asking about writing the partioning table [21:41] if the following is correct: [21:42] SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) [21:42] is it? [21:42] Hinnerk: writing the partition table means making new partitions and erase everything that was on that disk. [21:42] that's ok, it is empty. [21:42] but is the entry ok? [21:43] sda is the first hdd on your system. i dont know if that is the right one. you decide [21:43] it is [21:43] what about the zeros? [21:43] dont matter [21:43] ok [21:45] so no it offering me to accept the following choice or do a manual setting: [21:46] LVM VG shrike-vg, LV root as ext4 [21:46] LVM VG shrike-vg, LV swap_1 as Swap [21:47] Partition 2 on SCSI1 (0,0,0) as ext2 [21:47] it will format these partitions. [21:47] still all ok or do i need to go through a manual setting. [21:47] I didn't allocate all of the hdd to lvm, only 2tb out of 3tb. [21:49] i am not familiar with lvm installs out of my head. but in worst case you need to install again [21:49] ok, i can take that risk. [21:51] Hi, I installed ubuntu-tweak, what else is needed to get a larger cursor size? [21:51] drew3x_: use "unity-tweak-tool" not unity-tweak [21:52] *not ubuntu-tweak [21:58] Hey guys. Having a major problem. So I'm trying to dual boot win 10 and studio 15.10 and my first issue was grub failing to install. I did windows first BTW.

If there was a step where I could have switched on raid1, i must have missed it [22:34] same is true with partitions within lvm [22:34] I wanted to have different partitions for var, home, tmp and root. [22:35] Hinnerk: well, then you should have chosen the manual partitioning part. [22:35] :) [22:35] you said you want full disk with lvm or such, which is the standard. [22:35] well, yes. [22:36] but i didn't think that would imply that it is all for one partition. [22:36] well, no harm done. [22:36] I was half expecting that something would not be as it should and that it is just a first try. [22:37] Anyway, what about the raid1? [22:37] Is there some way of switching this on during installation? === fez is now known as Guest25280 [22:39] hi all, I am new to linux and trying to learn :) i got a VPS and setup ubuntu on there and just did apt-get install hdparm [22:39] The command I'm trying to use is sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sda unfortunately, I get this error: /dev/sda: No such file or directory [22:39] I looked online and they said that /dev/sda is where the HD is usually but why does it say no such file or directory ? [22:39] ddrj: Thats because your primary disk isnt named sda [22:39] Hinnerk: Try to put things into a single line instead of flooding the channel. [22:39] ddrj, cat /proc/partitions, fdisk -l, should give you an idea what you have. on a VPS it could be vda [22:39] ohhh thank you, let me check [22:39] I have no idea what my "enablement stack" is. I just know I'm running 3.13.0-71-generic. This isn't enough information to determine if I have the latest kernel for 14.04? [22:40] ddrj: your vps is just a guest-OS on a server. it doesnt have hardware disks which could be checked with that [22:40] Can't my "stack" be deduced from 3.13.0-71-generic? [22:40] unwizard: No. [22:40] unwizard: make sure "linux-generic" package is installed. [22:40] ok how do i determine my enablement stack? [22:41] I guess that must be it because it is on a vps and those commands don't find the hard drive [22:41] unwizard: that will ship you always the latest original 14.04 kernel updates. [22:41] unwizard: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [22:41] unwizard, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack#Kernel.2BAC8-Support.A14.04.x_Ubuntu_Kernel_Support [22:41] i was looking at the link via google, still have no idea [22:41] what config file do I look at? [22:41] unwizard: So did you install the packages the link told you to install for getting the latest enablement stack? [22:41] unwizard: you can get some new kernel versions (like 3.19) which come from the 15.04 ubuntu. its called "backporting" but your 3.13 kernel is still fine to use and gets updates for alle the 5 years [22:42] unwizard: "dpgk -l | grep linux-image" in a pastebin please [22:42] unwizard, so 14.04.1 was the iso you installed [22:42] unwizard: "dpkg -l | grep linux-image" in a pastebin please (sorry typo) [22:42] ddrj, depends on which kind of virtualization tech they're using... if it's just a container you can't access the HDD. It would have to be kvm/xen or something [22:42] kostkon: not really, I just upgraded from 12.04 [22:43] unwizard, just now? [22:43] frostschutz: it says they're using OpenVZ [22:44] ddrj: you dont have "real hardware" under your vps. you only got the "simulated hardware" the real server gives to your vps [22:44] so that's why, ok I understand now. If i had installed it on a laptop or a dedicated server, then I would have real hardware [22:44] ddrj: yes [22:45] kostkon: yes, just now. Just rebooted after 12.04 upgrade to 14.04. apt-get update/upgrade and update-manager were giving a shitload of errors. I finally fixed them, and need to know if this shit is hosed. [22:45] ddrj, openvz uses containers only, so it's more like shared hosting or a chroot jail in principle, not running your own kernel on virtualized hardware [22:46] ddrj, it would work fine on a "real" vps [22:46] real vps = kvm/xen ? [22:47] Hi all [22:47] Anyone know of a simple way to stop grub scanning removable devices for boot systems and adding them to the boot list? [22:48] why i am unable to view ntfs partitions of windows using latest ubuntu 14.04 installed few hour ago, this was not the case before . [22:48] unwizard, well, you could try sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade and paste the errors on paste.ubuntu.com if y ou want [22:48] I'm not the least bit interested in configuring my own kernel enablement stack. I just want the default from update-manager. I'd like to verify that I have the latest. update-manager says I do, but due to its previous errors I would like to double-check. [22:49] kostkon: I fixed those errors earlier [22:50] unwizard, if you want to upgrade to the latest stack, use the instructions from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [22:51] kostkon: I want the default, whatever it is. I only plan to run update-manager and get whatever is there. I would like to verify that I'm not fucked from previous errors. [22:51] unwizard: "dpkg -l | grep linux-image" in a pastebin please [22:52] kostkon: he doesnt want it. so lets just make sure he is on the linux-generic trail with the original 3.13 kernels [22:52] k1l_, yes [22:53] Ahh figured my own issue. os-prober tries to look at other drives. You can disable OS probing by grub by adding "GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true" into /etc/default/grub [22:55] isn't there a place somewhere on the Internet that tells me what the current default generic kernel for 14.04 is? [22:55] Ok. I was a good first try, I came further than expected. I'll start over in a few days and read a bit more up on lvm. But thank you for all your help TJ, bekks and k11! Have a good one. [22:55] I just need that number, that's all [22:55] unwizard: what about you let the people help you and provide proper facts that are requested [22:55] !info linux-image-generic trusty | unwizard [22:55] unwizard: linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.

[22:59] sallu: because it lets the ntfs in a unsafe state to make a faster boot next time. remove that "feature" from the windows settings [22:59] sallu: windows fast boot startup is a hibernate sort of feature, and so you can't mount it without jeopardizing the data [23:00] ok [23:01] k1l_, EriC^^ , so the best possible criteria to solve this mounting issue isnto turn off this FAST boot from windows [23:01] isto* [23:02] sallu: yes. [23:02] or not mounting the partitions that run windows. [23:02] sallu: or reboot from windows instead of shutting down [23:03] EriC^^, yeah but thats temporary solution .. not recommended for me because i want to do it fully now [23:04] k1l_, but i implemented windows 10 in uefi and also ubuntu is installed in uefi mode . so whats the benifit to prevent FAST boot? . is there no proper solution for this mounting issue [23:04] sallu: fast boot hasn't to do with uefi, it's like hibernate [23:04] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack#Kernel.2BAC8-Support.Ubuntu_Kernel_Release_Schedule -- this says 14.04 ships with kernel 3.13, which matches my uname. So far so good. All I want to know is the latest 3.13 version available. Forget about my own machine, pretend I just want that number. [23:04] sallu: The benefit of preventing fastboot is being able to start something else than windows. [23:05] sallu: only windows can fix that and they will not fix it since they dont care about other OS. [23:06] unwizard: crawl yourselv into packages.ubuntu.com then [23:06] EriC^^, so the only option left is to turn off FAST BOOt , ok i do it in a second k1l_ [23:06] !info linux-image-generic trusty [23:06] linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [23:20] so I had to bring in the wifi from the newer kernel [23:20] Trenten: I'd give you a hand, but I'm afraid I'm not familiar with clamav [23:20] fine [23:20] kelone7: which ubuntu are you trying to install?
