[00:06] <|||aaron> kll_: http://pastie.org/10596753 [00:07] you installed a .deb package? [00:08] the naming/versioning on the manual installed .deb is wrong, so it doesnt update that. [00:09] is there a way to check how many inodes are still available on a system, and to increase the number of inodes if the available inode count is low? [00:09] teward: df -i tells the inodes [00:09] I've got a notebook with Ralink RT5390R using rt2800pci driver. Most of the time wifi works fine, sometimes after a while or possibly after having gone to sleep, the network suddenly fails... It still has an IP, but can't even ping the gateway or any other local machines. After I try pinging the router and other machines, after a while ( a few minutes, not seconds ) it comes back, without any indication that it had to reconnect t [00:09] o the AP. It "just starts working again". I'm thinking it may be a power management issue, anyone have any thoughts on how i might fix it or ideas ? [00:10] teward: usually the inode count is set when the partition is created [00:11] k1l_: does it get increased when resizing happens? [00:11] oh good i've got a ton of inodes left xD [00:11] i am not sure how resizing affects it [00:12] iirc resizing scales new inodes to it if the partitions is made bigger [00:12] k1l_: i resized from a 750GB to a 1.5TB partition :P [00:12] so my guess is it got a ton of new inodes available to it. [00:12] :) [00:13] |||aaron: try a "sudo apt-get install vagrant" [00:16] <|||aaron> k1l_: says "its already the newest verison". i guess i must have installed an old .deb file at some point? [00:16] <|||aaron> k1l_: do i need to remove it first maybe? [00:16] |||aaron: yes, that is the issue now [00:16] |||aaron: sudo apt-get remove vagrant [00:17] <|||aaron> k1l_: dumb question bu that wont affect any of my machines or their config right [00:17] then run "sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vagrant" [00:18] i dont know about the removal script from the vagrant package. but usually they dont remove the stuff that was created after the install by the user [00:19] <|||aaron> cool, thanks! [00:27] I am trying to import a large list of aliases using the bulk import tool. However, if I enter something like 13.107.1.0/24 it tells me "The alias name may only consist of the characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, _." - but the examples give 172.16.0.0/24 - what's going wrong? [00:32] "172.16.0.0/24" is not a pure IP address :P [00:33] stands for 172.16.0.0-172.16.0.255 [00:36] gdi2k_, \ [00:37] HeisenbergsDog, thanks for responding. Yes, it's a range. is that not ok? The examples on the bulk upload page also list ranges [00:38] HeisenbergsDog, I am actually trying to send all Office 365 traffic over a specific WAN gateway. Microsoft has a support page listing a gazillion IPs / ranges that I was hoping to bulk import in one go... [00:39] is this ubuntu? oops, sorry, thought I was in pfsense [00:39] sorry :( [00:44] So, when I open my "Downloads" folder created in the default Lubuntu 15.10 install, something called "wrestool" takes up all my memory, then everything freezes. Any ideas? [00:45] exit [00:46] Yuken: open a terminal go to ~/Downloads then do a "ls -al" whats in there? [00:48] k1l_, will do. I have a feeling this is also related to somethnig that is happening to a few games that used to run perfectly fine. [00:48] k1l_, all that is there. http://i.imgur.com/Ldkfi6U.png [00:49] did you do something with themes, icons or wrestool/icoutils? [00:50] I'm trying to unload all modules (specifically nf_conntrack_ipv4) and even tracing the deps of lsmod wont unload it [00:50] Is anyone aware of a tool to do this properly? [00:51] k1l_, nope. [00:51] sigmon: i wouldn't touch nf_* modules, since those're used by netfilter/iptables [00:52] sigmon: why exactly are you trying to do these? (Some of these are core kernel) [00:52] teward, its no big deal =P [00:52] you silly [00:52] I want connection tracking disabled without rebooting and the modules blacklisted so they wont load [00:52] k1l_, and this only happens in my Downloads folder. Everything else appears to work fine. [00:56] Yuken: never heard of that and dont know why its doing that [00:56] Ah, hell. === Guest13303 is now known as Fleet === venkat_331 is now known as venkat_330 [01:07] Everytime I ssh I have to enter a password. If I run ps aux|grep ssh shouldn't I see ssh-agent? [01:08] I only see sshd -D [01:08] use key auth if you dont want to use a password login [01:09] on my laptop if I ssh in I see a little checkbox to remember the password. I'm not seeing that on my desktop [01:09] a little checkbox? [01:09] to remember the password next time [01:09] boze: putty? [01:09] what program do you use to ssh onto somewhere else? [01:10] yeah, sounds like putty on windows or such. but on linux you make auth keys and use them for non pw ssh login [01:10] I use bash in a terminal. ssh user@server then a gui password prompt shows up [01:11] i'm on trusty [01:11] that sounds like the keyring manager. [01:11] do you use autologin on that machine? [01:11] Yes, but when I log in I unlock the key ring when I open chrome [01:12] on my laptop I don't use autologin and it remembers passwords. hm [01:15] I want to reinstall while preserving the home directory. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuReinstallation mentions this option but says "installed software will be kept where possible", which is not what I want. Is there a clean-install-but-save-home option? [01:16] is home a seperate partition? [01:16] gzcwnk: nope [01:17] how big is home? [01:17] what if I just don't format? Will /home be overwritten? [01:17] how many gb consumed? [01:18] from memory on debian I think you can do that, but it was a while back [01:18] gzcwnk: 0.5 TB or so [01:18] 500gb is consumed? or total? [01:19] 500GB consumed, 1.5TB total === Guest23277 is now known as mosene [01:20] I've backed up what's essential etc, just looking to save time [01:21] can any1 help me i have cyborg linux and when i use vmware it just lags it doesnt boot into the linux also with kali the linux wont boot up, what linux do i use under the installatoin part of vmware player when it gives u the option for what linux to use for each of them [01:21] i think its best you tar.gz home up and store it elsewhere [01:22] mi3: we cant support cyborg linux or kali linux in here. please ask in ##linux [01:22] mi3 maybe try kvm instead [01:25] whats kvm [01:25] * gzcwnk wonders why ppl want to play with kali when they cant even manage to get it to boot [01:25] i got 10 other linux to boot [01:25] an alternative vm host software [01:26] kali will boot on kvm [01:26] i got archassualt linux to boot and i got blackarch linux to boot and i got backbox to boot and i got backtrack to boot [01:27] mi3: why? just master the basics before you try something you regret [01:27] the cyborg just lags and the kali says somethin abt 64 bit not supportting it [01:27] cause when u use a variation of ones u can master all of them [01:28] why close ur mind to a broad aspect when u can get a broad experience [01:28] and when u can use one basically u can use them all [01:28] I don't mean the basics of an OS, rather aspects such as protocols [01:28] not quite true [01:28] too many kids jumping on the kali bandwagon yet can't even tell me what TCP/IP is [01:29] it just when i pick what linux in the drop down menu inm vmware as the youtube videos say its just not wanting to log into it it just lags the cyborg one [01:29] sounds like you have teh wrong version ie 64bit and not 32bit [01:29] the reason I'm reinstalling is that gnome/kde are pretty hosed after the upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04. Gnome doesn't even launch; kde gives error after error. I've never actually seen any distro do a major upgrade without major problems, so nothing against Ubuntu in particular. [01:29] well ive upgarded debian boxes for years with little issue [01:30] tcp/ip that i learned abt 15 yrs ago with warez and when i had problems connectin to internet had to reinstall the software in windows [01:30] gzcwnk what linux u use? or u like? [01:31] ubuntu, debian, RHEL [01:31] rasbpian [01:31] u ever use blackarch or archassualt or backbox [01:31] How do you disable Ptrace for just one program? [01:31] they have so many tools in them [01:31] i tend to pick the version of linux that best supports the applications I want to run [01:32] no ive used kali a little [01:32] and gnacktrack has an awsome interface and ius very good [01:33] I tend not to care about interfaces to be honest [01:33] i care a lot about my interface [01:33] matruix and ghost linux are nice too [01:33] spec, fair enough [01:33] i got all those to boot [01:33] the background has got to the black, the foreground -- green. and the font? monospace. [01:33] gzcwnk: if possible, I want to boot to usb and repartition, moving /home to a separate partition under a new name, say /old-home. Do you think that will work? [01:33] to be black* even [01:33] I dont even know what font i have [01:34] gzcwnk: hopefully a fixed with (monospace) font [01:34] but i can get caine, parrotand cyborg to boot but i got all the ones above to boot and working [01:34] unwizard yes taht should work [01:35] gzcwnk: good, thanks [01:35] what linux do u use to get kali booted in the drop down menu [01:36] unwizard so you need to create free space by shrinking /home [01:36] i cant boot ubuntu from dvd...running windows 10 now... disabled fast boot... [01:36] mi3 I just have kali as a kvm guest on my rhel7 server desktop booting off a ubuntu gluster cluster as the disk [01:37] ran checksum on iso... changed boot order [01:37] kvm has a gui virtual manager [01:38] i also get an error saying kernal requires an x86-64 cpu but only detects a i686cpu is there a way around that in vmware player? [01:38] gzcwnk: well there's currently just one partition mounted at root /. So I need to create a partition and (eventually) mount it under some name like /old-home. [01:39] I messed with "update-rc.d list" and now kde requires me to $xinit startkde... without administrator privileges that can't even restart the machine. How can I start fixing it? [01:40] mi3: ..download the right version for your own architecture [01:41] i use seperate partitions for /home /var /tmp and /opt makes life easier [01:41] would booting from cd rather than dvd work better with an older bios? [01:41] mi3 u want the 32bit iso [01:42] kelone7 it would have to be ancient so i think not [01:42] mi3 it looks like you are trying to run a 64bit OS on a 32bit OS taht wont work [01:42] TJ-: Are you around [01:43] I've got an HP all in one from 99 - 2000 [01:43] Hello [01:43] I need some help [01:43] go on [01:44] I'm trying to install ubuntu on my new pc [01:44] kelone7 well taht is old.... [01:44] but it's stuck [01:44] where is it stuck? [01:44] it's stuck on creating ext4 file for / in partition #2 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (SDA) [01:44] : [01:44] I don't know if Ubuntu 14 would fit on a cd? [01:45] netinstall? [01:45] kelone7: use the minimal iso then [01:45] help please [01:45] it might just be too old at 15 years. [01:45] kelone7: Negative, The ubuntu .iso tajes a DVD . [01:46] so are you using the guided install? [01:46] Please? [01:46] booting from usb? [01:46] yes [01:46] I burned ubuntu 15.10 to a usb using rufus, [01:46] erased disk [01:46] and installed it [01:46] : [01:46] | [01:46] the only 64-bit is offered for 14.04 is ubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso -- so the "amd64" is OK, even though I don't have an amd? [01:46] or does that refer to the amd 64-bit format or something [01:46] unwizard yes [01:46] it's on WPA: Group rekeying completed with xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [GTK=CCMP] [01:47] amd64 is what you want [01:47] what does this mean [01:47] ok thanks [01:47] I'm just so confused, it's been installing forever [01:47] I don't know what could have gone wrong [01:47] :( [01:47] Maybe I should just install Chromium OS [01:47] :I( [01:47] unwizard: the 64bit patent was invented by amd. so its called amd64 but it works on intel too [01:48] is there any other distro that might work better on an older bios? [01:48] !lubuntu | kelone7 [01:48] kelone7: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [01:50] thanks for the info kl_ [01:51] could I mount a virtual drive in win 10? I tried with mint and it didnt do anything [01:52] kelone7: you are mixing things here. [01:52] yes I realize that we arent talking win or mint here. [01:54] older bios, is it possible to vmount ubuntu iso?\ [01:57] alright different scenario, if I get Lubuntu installed next to windows somehow, will it be easier to install a more complete ubuntu? [01:59] kelone7: "a more complete"? [01:59] kelone7: why dont you just install a full ubuntu from the start if you want a full ubuntu? [02:01] more "full-feaured"? less "lightweight" than lubuntu? I can't get full ubuntu to work...maybe lxde would be easier to install on my older system..? [02:02] what features do you need from ubuntu that lubuntu doesn't have? [02:02] kelone7: so you have a old system but want a non-lightweight system? that doesnt match really good [02:04] that's what I was asking... if it would make any difference having linux on the system first...warming it up so to say. but if it's a problem with my hardware then I guess it makes no difference [02:06] I use raspbian on a Pi its quite usuable [02:07] kelone7: that all is too much hypothetical. just make a ubuntu -live usb and boot from that [02:08] attempting to create a 14.04 usb boot; usb-creator-gtk errors out with "Failed to install the bootloader". I'm googling around now, and it doesn't look good [02:09] it won [02:10] it won't boot from live cd, thats the problem [02:10] kelone7: usb [02:11] unwizard: i just "dd" the iso to the usb. if there is an issue first make sure you md5sum check that iso [02:11] well... I'll have to root a tablet then and see if thats possible [02:12] kelone7, what? why? [02:12] what? [02:12] kelone7: your not making any sense at all. [02:13] I dont have a usb drive, I was thinking I could use my tablet as usb drive [02:13] you cant [02:13] k1l_: where is the md5sum of the iso listed? It's not at http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop that I can see [02:13] well, that's not entirely true k1l_ [02:13] There IS an app on Xposed that lets you create a live partition that's bootable. [02:14] but that's wayyyy too much trouble [02:14] guessing it's http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/MD5SUMS [02:14] Ive tried it before halfway and I rooted it already, just gave up and bought dvds and now that wont work [02:14] !md5sum [02:14] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [02:15] unwizard: might be a 14.04.3 iso http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04.3/MD5SUMS [02:16] eh md5sums... if somebody compromised the iso, they probably also compromised the sum files [02:16] signature checking is mandatory if you're concerned about such things [02:16] AvatarA: its not about suspicous things, its about checking if the dowload was corrupted [02:17] kelone7: a 4g usb drive is less than $10 at walmart [02:17] it's good to have a live USB handy anyway [02:20] nicomachus: true. === gerald is now known as Guest9356 [02:42] Hello I'm in need of some assistance.

[02:47] no [02:48] what hardware you got? does it need special kernel modes like nomodeset? does the live desktop without installing work?

Your router supports UPnP, right? [03:18] Hitechcg, i believe so [03:18] but even when i set up port forwarding in the router, i cant get it to my desktop [03:19] it goes desktop -> laptop -> router, and the laptop seems to act as a barrier [03:19] also the router doesnt see my desktop, it only sees my laptop [03:21] staticsn0w: ebay, craigslist?

Except this last time. XD [03:49] k1l_: BUT! Nothing broken, yet. [03:49] lusr: I'm saving it. [03:50] VictoriaXOXO: nothing of that is using much disk space or making your system slow. so no need to remove those.

[04:11] ofcourse I could create an rsync script and setup the manual crontabs myself [04:11] but timeshift gives that a nice interface [04:12] Dat: ah, I assumed you were just looking for something as opposed to something specific [04:13] Dat: I haven't tried timeshift [04:13] Gejt: ahh gotcha [04:15] VictoriaXOXO: yes, it's a similar process for other options [04:16] Gejt: I don't get it.

I cant find a way to format the installation and reinstall [05:11] its the first line in the file, u should not change /bin/bash-file, just in the script as showed! :) [05:11] @ MrCollins [05:11] change with nano? [05:11] Sure. [05:11] pico/nano/vim whatever you wanna use! =) [05:12] it gives me a root partition and a swap not allowing me to continue, in that way i also do not have any /boot partition cause root is taking up everything [05:12] and i cant seem to resize that root partition [05:12] JakeTheAfroPedob: use live cd? [05:13] live usb but yeah i unmoiunted and formatted that partition using live usb , rebooted again and now it still shows me the root partition is there.

Followed https://github.com/Nyr/openvpn-install I have the .ovpn copied to my ubuntu laptop but have no idea what to do next. [05:24] open it with network manager, pretty sure you asked this a couple of days ago - that's not very good progress :) [05:24] MannyLNJ: test with "sudo openvpn --config /ovpn" [05:25] daftykins, I did ask a few days ago. I can't get network manager to open it [05:25] MannyLNJ, you use the ovpn file to create a new openvpn connection in your network manager. if you don't see that option, you need to install the networkmanager-openvpn package [05:25] daftykins : Errors encountered while processing man-db [05:25] lusr i dont see services in init.d [05:25] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [05:25] JakeTheAfroPedob: put the whole output in http://paste.ubuntu.com [05:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/13616297/ [05:29] Seven_Six_Two, I get Unable to locate package networkmanager-openvpn [05:30] JakeTheAfroPedob: you've got another program open for managing packages, close that then repeat [05:31] yeah the installiation from live usb was open === yUriks is now known as yuriks [05:31] Hi. I just copied an executable in the /usr/local/bin/ directory but i cant execute that program wothout running sudo. Why is that? [05:31] permissions i'd bet [05:32] paste.ubuntu.com/13616359/ [05:32] MannyLNJ, try sudo apt-cache search openvpn [05:33] MannyLNJ, it should be in the returned list, maybe with another hyphen [05:33] JakeTheAfroPedob: so you want the 2TB HDD to be blank? [05:34] yes. I want Ubuntu to be installed there but booted from the 120gb ssd [05:34] JakeTheAfroPedob: nah, 120GB is too small to keep an ubuntu boot beside Windows imo. [05:34] @daftykins My file has rwx------ other files have rwxrwxr-x. How can i change that? [05:35] samsamsam: sudo chmod 775 /path/to/file [05:35] daftykins: can i have grub over there then? [05:35] daftykins: To match those other files, it would be 775 [05:35] JakeTheAfroPedob: that'd be a waste too; anyway "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=2M count=1" then reboot [05:36] @daftykins Thanks :D [05:36] gav: :O that's why i chose it ;D [05:37] daftykins: I see. ;) [05:37] Oh m( I thought you had typed 755 for some reason. === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [05:42] daftykins: is there a space in between zero and of? [05:42] yes [05:42] Seven_Six_Two and daftykins I do have network-manager-openvpn so it must be a user (me) error [05:42] it's written how i wrote it [05:43] MannyLNJ, can you create a new openvpn connection by left or right clicking your network manager [05:44] MannyLNJ, I'm not using unity or ubuntu, otherwise I'd send you a screenshot. [05:45] Seven_Six_Two, yes I can, except save is greyed out [05:45] JakeTheAfroPedob, "if" is In File (or something like that) and "of" is Out File [05:45] MannyLNJ, can you restore? that's where you'd load your file [05:46] MannyLNJ, or "import vpn" === hao_ is now known as huangyihao [05:47] Seven_Six_Two, I can. I imoport the file and is has the IP of my other system in Gateway and save is greyed out [05:47] daftykins: its working now [05:47] Anyone else seen AccellMethod uxa being extremly slow under Ubuntu 15.10 on intel cards? A site like www.pingdom.com renders the machine unusable due to X11 taking all resources (In firefox only, not in chrome).... Other AccellMethods does not have this issue, but - fonts are renders incorrectly in firefox then :/ [05:48] MannyLNJ, interesting. Unfortunately that's all I can do, since my system is different [05:48] daftykins: Thanks a lot [05:48] np [05:51] Seven_Six_Two, could I be missing files? All I have from that script is a file called elevyubuntu.ovpn [05:51] Does anyone else have issues with Java2D games even with the Oracle JRE 8 (x64) on 15.10? even with closed nvidia driver? [05:52] i think i can count on an amputee's hand how many java 2D games i play [05:52] MannyLNJ, I don't think so. the ovpn file should have all of your connection info and certs. maybe not everything is in the ovpn that should be [05:52] ok, so I have successfully installed fglrx-updates and clinfo reports properly, I am now having an issue building against opencl which appears to be due to the absence of the amd-app-sdk. Does anyone know if the sdk is included in another package? [05:53] MannyLNJ + Seven_Six_Two - cat the .ovpn and look for the keys [05:53] an inline .ovpn will have them, if not, you need other files to make a connection [05:54] I need some help booting from DVD [05:54] ok? [05:54] what's up? [05:55] daftykins, I see an entry that starts then -----BEGIN PRIV ATE KEY----- [05:55] I changed boot order and nothing. checksum passes [05:55] MannyLNJ: yep should be 3 of those [05:55] runner55: on the downloaded ISO, what about the burn? did it verify? [05:56] is the optical drive known good? [05:56] burn verified, optical drive good [05:57] what's the target system? laptop/desktop? recent/old? [05:57] Seven_Six_Two, and daftykins I see a ca, cert, and key sections [05:57] yep that's the minimum, so i think you need to wrestle with network manager a bit more [05:58] desktop pc, originally win7, updated win 10 pre uefi I believe [05:58] runner55: custom build or branded? [05:58] branded hp [05:58] usually one-time boot menus are better than messing with boot order [05:59] so you probably want F9, F10 or F11 [05:59] runner55, assuming same basic bios, my hp is esc for menu then f9 [06:00] of course i'm stuck in efi land [06:00] okay I will try that and be back with results [06:01] daftykins, I can't think of anything else to try [06:02] one of my fellow volunteers recently claimed that NM can open these profiles directly, i'm a bit shocked you can't find it [06:02] is this 14.04.3 ? [06:03] I get an import option but then save is greyed out. 14.04.1 is the version === noteness_ is now known as noteness [06:04] MannyLNJ: then update, that's out of date. [06:05] daftykins, sudo apt-get update doesn't find anything [06:06] that's because update only updates package lists, you then have to run "sudo apt full-upgrade" [06:08] daftykins, thank you. Now it's pulling down new files. [06:08] could someone please remind me what the ubuntu installer program is named? not apt, but the package that's installed on live distros/installer media to start the "install ubuntu" process? [06:08] you should really have been having the update manager pop up nagging for these to be installed, too [06:09] ubiquity [06:09] daftykins: thanks! [06:09] before I pass the point of no return installing from amd's installer, does anyone know if the AMD-APP-SDK is available in repo [06:10] howdy [06:10] joral: search. [06:10] Hello! [06:10] How do I move the window buttons to the left on the Gnome desktop? [06:11] daftykins, I have. Its not there by that name, but I know that amd's fglrx installer comes with it so I'm surprised that none of the fglrx packages provided it. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't there by another name [06:13] daftykins, I just ssh;d into my other ubuntu system and am updating it also [06:13] joral: just make sure you purge all fglrx before installing AMD's own, if you're using the driver and all [06:14] daftykins, I'm not. I have opencl up and running but not the sdk to compile against [06:14] wat [06:14] nevermind then, you go nuts ;) [06:15] Is it possible to open 2 instances of 'Cheese'? I have 2 web cams and would like to capture 2 feeds at the same time [06:15] sounds like a case of the wrong tool for the job [06:16] We talked a few days ago. I tried VLC Media Center. It worked fine the first day. The 2nd day the audio - video was out of sync by about 4 seconds [06:17] did we? doesn't ring a bell [06:17] oh unless it was the raw capture playback one [06:19] yes [06:20] Remember the video not playing in VLC [06:20] and you giving me a command line [06:20] RonWhoCares, don't know if it helps but I have been using kodi (formerly xbmc) to watch cable on my capture card. It has tons of plugins for various sources. [06:20] it would not do multiple camera feeds ;) [06:20] I'm trying to figure out how to move the window buttons to the left in Gnome. [06:21] yeah, looks like no gnome users. [06:21] <---- [06:22] daftykins, ah. I thought it might have a multiplexer plugin that would get the job done. I've never looked into it before thought :P [06:22] Macdaddy_Linux gnome-tweak-tool should work [06:22] under Windows IIRC [06:23] haven't used it in a while though [06:23] SeriouslyLaugh: not there [06:23] OHHH! [06:23] I just figured it out [06:23] Is there a way one can access HFI partitions for Mac OSX while running ubuntu? [06:23] I can run "Cheese". Then I can run "Cheese" as an administrator [06:24] daftykins, rebooting now, Wish me luck [06:24] and record 2 video feeds [06:24] RonWhoCares, I think it's safer to make 2 users cheese1 and cheese2 and do it that way [06:24] RonWhoCares, as root = bad idea [06:25] root, this isn't Windows ;) [06:25] :/ [06:25] Cheese just crashed when I tried to record [06:25] Macdaddy_Linux gnome-tweak-tool is just a GUI for dconf-editor -- i believe you can relocate the close buttons using the command line but I don't know exact how off the top of my head [06:25] SeriouslyLaugh, what's the story ? i'm on gnome [06:26] badbodh Macdaddy_Linux would like to move relocate their window controls [06:27] SeriouslyLaugh, yeah. not happening. mutter doesn;t do that. compiz(unity) and muffin(cinnamon) has that feature. xfwm4 too. not mutter [06:27] thank very much for that info badbodh -- Macdaddy_Linux please see badbodh's comment [06:28] Macdaddy_Linux, mutter = gnome-shell's window manager. [06:28] just be happy that gnome now provides minimize button xD [06:30] badbodh: http://imgur.com/8fPgDsg [06:32] Macdaddy_Linux, http://uploadpie.com/73jzv [06:32] Honestly root is closer to the SYSTEM account in Windows, not the Administrator [06:32] what's your gnome version ? [06:32] System: Host: rustbucket Kernel: 4.2.6-1-MANJARO x86_64 (64 bit) Desktop: Gnome 3.18.3 [06:32] Distro: ManjaroLinux 15.09 Bellatrix [06:33] Hitechcg: wiped that drive yet? [06:33] Macdaddy_Linux, i haven't messed with it, probably won't anyway. [06:34] badbodh: my dconf-editor layout looks different. [06:34] Macdaddy_Linux, i'm on 3.18, yours is probably older version. you don;t have that feature for now. [06:35] badbodh: I'm on Ubuntu Gnome 15.10 [06:35] 3.16 ? [06:35] daftykins: Not yet, but I have a plan. (Switch my netbook hard drive with a spare laptop SATA drive, boot the netbook to a live USB, then ethernet transfer all the stuff.) [06:35] I dunno. [06:35] Macdaddy_Linux, control center > details > overview [06:36] 3.16 [06:37] wait for next ubuntu version then :) my original reply stands - you can't do it [06:39] Hold on a sec, are you CERTAIN that that number actually means 767 bad sectors? Apparently Seagate does screwy stuff with their SMART attributes. [06:39] Macdaddy_Linux, i just noticed you were looking in the wrong place. it's in org.gnome.desktop.wm, not org.gnome.mutter [06:40] i confuse composting and window manager all the time. my bad [06:40] composting [06:42] I think I see it but still a little confused. http://imgur.com/KDMGMKO [06:42] badbodh: ^ === gelei007 is now known as gracious [06:43] Macdaddy_Linux, you found it. now play with it. i don;t know how it works. burn thy booty thyself [06:43] I did it :D [06:43] thanks badbodh [06:43] have fun [06:44] Oi govna's! [06:44] oi myte [06:44] oioioioi! *stomps boots in a circle dance* [06:44] hello everyone!! [06:44] sodd off pip. here 'em support channels [06:44] hello lineux [06:45] >:| [06:45] The mouse is more often on the left side so controls on the left make more sense to me. [06:45] yabber in #ubuntu-offtopic [06:45] is there really an ubuntu offtopc [06:45] !ot | JesusSaurus [06:45] JesusSaurus: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [06:45] are the repos down right now? [06:45] and i do have questions [06:45] flappynerd: which one - there are many [06:45] JesusSaurus: then ask [06:46] us.archive.ubuntu.com is pretty much non-responsive as far as I can tell [06:46] you know what fuck you faggots im going back to rizon [06:46] flappynerd, try other mirrors [06:46] the rest of my internet seems fine [06:46] you guys who is android developer [06:46] badbodh, how do I specify that when using sudo apt-get install [06:46] flappynerd: for reference and next time - http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/us.archive.ubuntu.com [06:46] linux, probably someone in #android [06:46] flappynerd, in control panel look for something like "software sources" or "software properties" [06:47] all rigth ,thanks [06:47] linux: this is ubuntu support so ask elsewhere [06:47] on first tab itself you can select another mirror [06:47] Hey guise, how do I enable a service in Upstart? My apache2 service isn't starting on bootup on Ubuntu 14.04. [06:48] gnudoo419: how did you install it? It should enable on boot automatically [06:48] somsip, "sudo service blahblah enable" ? [06:48] badbodh: gnudoo419 ^^^ [06:48] Running Octoprint on a raspberry pi and getting stuttering when I load the webpage, can this be contributed to a high baud rate? [06:48] somsip: long story, the machine had nginx on it before think it got disabled [06:49] CupricReki: in what way is that to do with ubuntu? [06:49] whooops [06:49] wrong channel [06:49] my bad [06:49] slightly :P [06:49] gnudoo419: if you havent installed from the repo, I'd suggest purging it and reinstalling it correctly. May be worth checking /var/log/apache2/error.log first for obvious things though [06:50] CupricReki: fair enough [06:50] badbodh: you're thinking systemd style, service apache2 enable isn't valid [06:50] gnudoo419, i don;t know the exact name of the service. hence wrote blahblah. for systemd its "systemctl enable blahblah" [06:50] somsip: it fires up no problem with service apache2 start [06:51] see the difference ? [06:51] badbodh: I know that, I'm saying "enable" isn't a command [06:51] gnome saying [06:52] I tried to install with wubi through a virtual drive and I got quite the error list [06:52] ACPI PCC probe failed? [06:52] gnudoo419, aye. my bad :D , that's only for start/stop. https://askubuntu.com/questions/19320/how-to-enable-or-disable-services#19324 [06:52] gnudoo419: have a look through here - not sure how up to date it is though https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto [06:53] runner55: we do not support WUBI, don't use it [06:53] runner55: that error doesn't matter [06:54] is it bc of the errors? [06:54] badbodh: somsip: thanks guys, I feared you guys would point me back to those docs. [06:54] gnudoo419: and on 14.04 here and have a /etc/default/apache2 file so maybe that's been moved/renamed [06:54] runner55: no WUBI is just an abomination [06:54] !wubi [06:54] Wubi was a way to install Ubuntu from within Windows, but it is no longer supported in recent versions of Ubuntu and was never well maintained even for Ubuntu 12.04. Do not use Wubi. See !install for other options for installing Ubuntu. [06:54] gnudoo419, if docs don;t work, you messed it elsewhere :) [06:55] argh [06:57] badbodh: no u [06:58] gnudoo419, ? [07:01] when i plug my xbox one controller into my system it crashs ubuntu [07:01] what can i do ? [07:01] hi,budy,does anyone knows how to see the hardware information on ubuntu [07:01] gnudoo419: sudo lshw [07:02] goddard, did you install 'xboxdrv' thingy ? many have suffered [07:02] the application hardinfo is decent if you want a GUI, gracious [07:03] badbodh: no haven't tried that [07:03] badbodh: but it shouldn't crash ubuntu with out without it right? [07:04] goddard, is xbox controller linux compatible ? [07:04] * badbodh giggles [07:04] badbodh: its an xbox one controller and i am not trying to play a game with it i am just trying to plug it in with out it crashing ubuntu [07:05] goddard, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xbox360Controller [07:05] goddard define crashing -- what are the symptoms? just unresponsiveness? [07:05] badbodh: it isn't a xbox 360 controller [07:05] SeriouslyLaugh: everything locks up [07:07] daftykins: Aha, "The change of the mentioned attribute (196 Reallocation event count) is completely normal for some particular Seagate models, especially (but not limited to) hard disks used in some Lenovo notebooks - as they have special firmware which uses this value for other purposes, not to indicate real problems." [07:08] that's rubbish [07:08] plus the SMART data had other issues [07:08] SeriouslyLaugh: i plug the controller in and 2 or 3 seconds later the entire system is LOCKED the mouse doesn't even work [07:08] Hello, my .mx repos have issues I think, don't download any package, what can I do? is there a way to automatically move them to usa repos? [07:08] Hitechcg: i don't see how you hope to learn when all you do is try and disprove things people tell you instead of get the job done. [07:08] Hitechcg: is this still the laptop/harddrive issues from yesterday? [07:08] goddard, https://tinyurl.com/j323ta3 [07:08] somsip: yep, kids in denial [07:09] daftykins: thought it was the same nick :-/ [07:09] crash is expected if you plug-in an unsupported device. xorg handles everything, if X crashes, everything crashes [07:10] badbodh: no that is not to be expected [07:10] badbodh: you can plug in unknown usb devices that doesn't mean your system should crash [07:11] is it possible to install from a virtual mount drive? from windows? [07:11] Yes. But I honestly think it would makes a lot more since if Lenovo uses that for something else. a) Lenovo sucks, and b) this computer was brand new when I got it in August [07:11] Hitechcg: these are both issues for you to address with Lenovo or the supplier [07:12] goddard, which kernel are you on ? [07:12] 14.04 [07:12] Hitechcg: again, you're a kid with no experience, stop fighting the evidence. [07:12] so that's 3.something, run "uname -a" in terminal [07:12] 3.19.0-37-generic [07:12] Hitechcg: anyway, further discussion in ##hardware since that's off topic. [07:13] plus i don't enjoy seeing dead horses getting beaten [07:13] goddard, you need newer kernel for that. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/1a48ff81b3912be5fadae3fafde6c2f632246a4c says kernel 4.4 === Gasseus is now known as Rallias [07:13] and 4.4 is not stable yet [07:13] badbodh: yeah but that is to use the xinput functions [07:14] badbodh: i dont want to use that [07:14] badbodh: i just want to be able to plug it in and access it myself using libusb [07:14] badbodh: how can i make ubuntu not freak out when i plug the controller in? [07:15] goddard, you could run "dmseg" and see where it fails. that will help you pinpoint the problem. [07:15] *dmesg [07:15] also look into .xsession-errors in your home [07:16] *X === redtooth^Work is now known as redtooth [07:17] Dude, how is what I *quoted* not evidence? Your evidence is one number. I agree that you have more years of experience than I've been alive. But I'm not an idiot. You don't know everything. [07:17] daftykins, *x on my system -.- [07:17] http://www.users.on.net/~fzabkar/HDD/Seagate_SER_RRER_HEC.html <<< see what I mean about screwy stuff? I actually already decoded all the huge numbers and they're actually normal [07:18] Hitechcg: more than one number, now leave and talk about it in a relevant channel, thanks. [07:18] badbodh: yeah no help [07:18] badbodh: just says new device [07:18] badbodh: the end [07:19] well, xbox = microsoft, ask them for support :P [07:19] What other numbers besides IDs 1, 5, and 187 do you mean anyways? [07:19] you could try the 360 link i gave you, no guarantees though [07:20] for troubleshooting purpose, you could boot into a live xubuntu and plug in the device, see if it crashes [07:20] goddard do you happen to have a game running while you plug the controller in? [07:20] Hey. I bought a HP Pro Tablet 408, 8" with 2 GB 64 GB and an Intel Z series x86 processor. It has Win 8.1 with W10 upgrade available. I also bought an additional microSDXC card and a portable mini keyboard. I have the intention to haxxor this into a Linux dual boot, backup plan is to leave it as is, as a W10 machine. The guys at the store scared me a little by telling that some tablet HW is sort of hard coded in a way that ... [07:20] or is everything closed goddard [07:21] ... even though it's basically a W10 environment with x86 HW, there are still some things that the user cannot control normally. E.g. some tablets might have restrictions for the native HD partition. They also refused to make any statement whether this would be true for a HP Pro or not. Some more high-end tablets, I hear, do not have these restrictions. So do you guys know beforehand whether I'll be able to repartition the ... [07:21] ... disk, possibly on the fly with the W8.1/W10 already residing there, then start installing, say, Lubuntu there? Note that I do know that Ubuntu Touch should be only available on Android machines, I will install simply L/Xubuntu Desktop here. [07:21] SeriouslyLaugh: no games [07:21] ok [07:21] SeriouslyLaugh: just a terminal open [07:21] if I plug the controller in and then lsusb it just hangs until the entire system crashes [07:21] Thaurwylth: i'd say it's a mistake to even try, 64GB is pitiful [07:22] or rather locks up [07:22] I calculated it beforehand and 64 GB will be fine for L or X. [07:22] Hello... I was wondering if its possible to get logon fails information so that when someone tries to login in into my PC but fails for 2 times, the 3 time a script runs and lets say delete some files and reboot the PC. The reason why i would want it to reboot is because i have Dell's secure manager setup so the person would be stuck without any chance of using the PC. Is this possible? [07:22] goddard apologies for making you repeat yourself, but reading the logs is trick since this is such an active channel. is this an xbox one controller? [07:23] tricky* [07:23] Also these 'mistake to even try' comments are extremely frustrating, I myself will know what I'll be happy with and other than that we should really restrict ourselves to what's actually technically possible. [07:24] Also, does someone happen to know beforehand whether these HP Pro tablets are MBR booting or UEFI booting? [07:24] Hello [07:24] * nikneym slaps anto around a bit with a large fishbot [07:24] goddard disregard, i see where you said this is an xbox one controller above. never used that before so i can't assist. [07:26] can I install from a virtual mount in win 10? [07:26] I-am-Groot: yes it's called fail2ban [07:26] Cool [07:26] runner55: no. the media _MUST_ be booted. [07:26] Is this fail2ban a program? [07:27] it's certainly not a fruit [07:27] !info fail2ban | I-am-Groot [07:27] I-am-Groot: fail2ban (source: fail2ban): ban hosts that cause multiple authentication errors. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.3-1 (wily), package size 221 kB, installed size 1152 kB [07:27] nor is it a sport [07:27] ookay [07:28] i think it's a rainbow [07:28] I-am-Groot: one of the supplied filter scripts is for excessive logins (ssh) but the actions it takes do things like blocks the IP so the user cannot try again, and sends emails to notify the sys admin as such. You will have to write something yourself if you want it to reboot or some such [07:28] Even if I do zero the disk, what do you think will be accomplished besides finding any bad sectors? Wouldd the diagnostics tests have not already looked for those? [07:29] OOkay... but after doing a quick search..i found out its usually used for ssh and apache [07:29] I-am-Groot: it can be used to watch any log for any pattern of characters and take any action [07:29] oookay [07:30] Hitechcg: learn to take a hint. OFF. TOPIC. [07:32] So will this fail2ban take action before the machine logs in or after it has logged in [07:33] I-am-Groot: when a pattern is identified in the log and the pattern has been seen a specified number of times or more [07:33] ookay [07:34] SeriouslyLaugh: so in auth.log, it can track for something like 'login from X.X.X.X failed' [07:34] Does the progam output to a log or something? [07:35] I-am-Groot: yes - /var/log/fail2ban.log [07:35] You know... something i can use as a trigger to have my script reboot the pc [07:35] kk [07:36] does OpenJDK ever work with the Ubuntu 15.10 stock sound system (PulseAudio i'm guessing?) i had to use Oracle's JRE to run a jar i made in Windows. [07:36] I-am-Groot: filter files match patterns in log files against a jail.local file which defines # or attempts, ban times, etc. Triggered filters call actions which do stuff, like send emails and (potentially) reboot [07:36] *of attempts [07:36] OOkay.... [07:37] I-am-Groot: read up on it - the wiki is decent. A bit offtopic for here to go in depth [07:37] Thanks guys [07:37] u have helped much [07:37] I will research more [07:38] Also, i have one last question tho [07:39] In most BIOS, there is a n option to lock the HDD with a password [07:39] is it possible to set this password in Ubuntu? [07:39] I-am-Groot: no - it's a BIOS function which should be inaccessible to the OS [07:40] Oookay [07:40] damn it tho...lol...it would have been awesome to activate the password once the person enters the number of wrong password and gets rebooted. [07:41] So that that when the password is taken out and inserted into a external case, it wont be accessible [07:42] when the HDD* [07:46] that's called dmcrypt [07:46] errrmmm...was that for me? === Acilim is now known as Acilim_A [07:47] perhaps i didn't read all your chat. but if you want a drive to be unaccessible if removed from your PC and inserted into another, you need to encrypt it. the whole thing [07:50] ookay [07:51] Is that what the BIOS does when the HDD password feature is activated? [07:54] test [07:54] hi guys its me again [07:55] i would like to ask that if i have 4 hard disk. 3 HDD 1 SSD. Currently 2 allocated to winodws and 1 SSD of 120 gb is for Windows OS [07:55] when i install where should the grub and the /boot go to [07:56] solely on the one hard disk where /root /home and etc will go to or on the ssd iwll be better [07:56] Hello [07:56] I would like to know if it's possible to make a usb scanner work on a 64-bit OS but with a 32-bit proprietary driver? [07:59] LeRieur: i wouldn't think that'd be easy [07:59] what plugins or packages do you need to get totem to play video streams? [08:00] ubuntu-restricted-extras might help, depends on the stream type [08:01] SANE_DEBUG_DLL=255 scanimage -L gives me: [dll] load: dlopen() failed (/usr/lib/sane/libsane-Lexmark08_1_0_0.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32) [08:01] daftykins: those packaged in .asx urls. that package did not help [08:01] that doesn't mean anything since .asx can contain a URL, you'd need to check that [08:02] daftykins: wmv [08:02] yep not likely, try a more capable player [08:02] i would think you're out of luck on that one [08:02] no it has worked before. but i forgot what i did to make it work [08:04] daftykins: can you suggest me on my problem? [08:05] JakeTheAfroPedob: partition how you want, however i would not make a separate /boot anymore. [08:05] daftykins : ok thanks [08:06] can somoen explain to me the difference between ext 4 partitioned type that having the OS set is as default [08:07] and us puttting it as /home [08:07] you can use ext4 on all your partitions, / and /home [08:07] then swap is swap. [08:07] JakeTheAfroPedob, your /home is also ext4 partition type [08:08] from palces i read it says thatswap is preferably bigger than rmas [08:08] i have 32 gbs of rams. Will allocating 40gbs of rams be efficient? [08:08] rams? [08:08] depends if you want to use hibernate or sleep, if not - 8GB would be plenty of swap. [08:09] JakeTheAfroPedob, LOL. ram not rams. but yeah, 8gb should do. [08:09] RAM's [08:09] haha [08:12] meh [08:12] support question? [08:12] not really [08:12] im usually the one helping, well to the best of my ability [08:13] please don't enter a channel and type for no reason then [08:13] sorry about that [08:14] Can I get my computer to ignore the fact that displays are turned off? When I turn my displays off and on again, all the windows get misplaced [08:15] um i just deleted xauthority is that bad? [08:15] does Primary and Logical make a difference on /boot /swap and /home? [08:16] can be primary, /home and swap can be logical but it really doesn't matter. [08:16] dotpixis_, no, it will be regenerated during reboot [08:16] "/" can be primary that is [08:16] OerHeks: ty [08:17] jmaister, never seen that before. [08:17] @jmaister to my knowledge no, unless you leave the screen on the whole time you use the computer [08:18] OerHeks: I've got 4 displays, and when I lock the computer, turn off the screens, turn them back on, nothing is where it was [08:18] if i delete the default key in my live boot system will that leave me venreable for all the hax? [08:18] (i forgot the password for it... lol) [08:18] It would be nice if the computer could just mindlessly feed video out of the ports without giving a fuck about who receives it [08:19] there's no security in making permanent use of a live session [08:19] dotpixis_, live boot has no password [08:19] cfhowlett: it does if you have persistance... [08:20] jmaister, did not get your last line, it contains a bad word [08:20] OerHeks: pardon [08:20] It would be nice if the computer could just mindlessly feed video out of the ports without giving a bananacake about who receives it [08:21] jmaister: but then it would flood all the ports... [08:21] @jmaister the windows should not move out of place, there might be more to it [08:21] Alk40: I think it's because the displays don't turn off all at the exact same moment, so the screen configuration changes [08:22] jmaister, seems like an old bug > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1040260 [08:22] Launchpad bug 763148 in Compiz Core "duplicate for #1040260 Adding/Removing an external monitor causes open windows to move to another workspace" [Medium,Fix committed] === cpaelzer_ is now known as cpaelzer [08:23] OerHeks: Well, that's not a problem as I don't use workspaces. But all the windows get gathered at whichever monitor switches off last [08:24] The monitors are TVs and some are faster at switching off than others. Just enough to make it change the configuration [08:24] @jmaister it could be a driver issue, when your computer sleeps/hibernates the video driver is either disconnecting and then forget the positon of the windows, or is setting them up in different order than you turned them off. [08:24] sounds more like auto detection to me [08:25] jmaister: if you run conf-less, perhaps a hardcoded xorg.conf or correct alterations /etc/X11/in xorg.conf.d/ would stop this being an issue [08:25] Hm. Perhaps [08:25] I should just stop switching off the TVs. Problem solved [08:26] oops *in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ [08:26] but that'd be a waste of power... [08:26] jmaister, this bugreport is actually doing the same, adding and removing a display ( same as turning off) messed up window positions, and move them to the primairy display. not sure there is a solution, as i think it is intended to show all windows instead of hiding one because one monitor is turned off. [08:26] Exactly. That's why they switch off [08:27] OerHeks: Well, I think this is actually intended behavior from Ubuntu's side. I just don't want it [08:27] Since you need to be able to manipulate windows that were on disconnected displays [08:27] Except they're not really disconnected, so I don't want Ubuntu to care [08:27] That's where the mindless part comes in [08:29] geh [08:29] hej [08:29] tjena [08:30] what am buntu [08:30] answer me [08:30] goddamnit [08:30] fabby, stop it [08:30] !language > fabby [08:30] fabby, please see my private message === ubik_ is now known as Guest61610 [08:32] !rootirc | fabby [08:32] fabby: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm).

[08:35] (default) [08:36] not much. [08:36] thought so... [08:36] i guess that i'll just not store anything on here [08:36] dotpixis_: Physical access is always problematic. [08:36] yup [08:37] i'll be installing a new os soon tho, so i'll stop using it soon [08:37] it seems that xubuntu was too heavy for my laptop T.T [08:38] anybody know the command for ending a process? [08:38] dotpixis_: The biggest problem for the live USB is that the default user has no password (and has sudo access). Beyond that, there's nothing too wrong with it. [08:38] gt8ost4l, kill -9 PID [08:38] without -9 [08:39] the other day I noticed ubuntu 15.04 hanged on installation from usb, and I had to use acpi=off for it to work. any thoughts? [08:39] Alk40, 15.04 will retire soon. use 15.10 or 14.04 for long term support [08:39] Alk40: how old is the pc? [08:40] the pc is not old but it was an old usb i had laying around. is this issue present with the newer versions [08:41] Alk40: did you check the hash of the iso? [08:41] !hash | Alk40 [08:41] !md5sum | Alk40 [08:41] Alk40: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [08:42] ty cfhowlett [08:42] join #debian [08:42] :D [08:43] @dotpixis yeah i know what that is :) its fine but what im saying is only after long use, if i skip the preview it installs fine, just thought that was strange [08:44] Alk40: it is strange, but i would use the lts if i were you, the've been sorting out the kinks for a while now [08:46] @dotpixis yeah i got you, hopefully it was taken care of so preview on newer versions doesn't hang. mostly because i use live cd for retrieving files for peeps [08:50] what does libgstreamer0.10-0 do?

[08:55] @dotpixis_ sorry i wasnt much help, i know stuff but cant explain it that well [08:57] @ralpheeee if it not included in the mini.iso then no, you would have to use eth0 [08:57] ralpheeee, no, you *need* a wired connection > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall see Method (continued) [09:01] Alk40 DeHeks: does terminal wireless setup support WPA2 ? [09:02] Hi. Is reading and writing to NAS going to be better in terms of speed if I double its DDR3 RAM frequency, from let's say 800MHz to 1600MHz? [09:03] "terminal wireless setup" ?? the mini iso has no live mode. [09:05] krcevina: only if ram bandwidth is a bottleneck [09:05] @ralpheeee you can reach the terminal for some CLI action but the mini.iso does not include any type of driver for your wifi. so unless you get wired with eth0 its not happening [09:05] Alk40: crap....ok thxs!!! [09:08] @ralpheeee sorry yeah, if your using your phone as wifi you might get lucky and it will read your phone if you use it as a usb connection but its going to take long to download. [09:09] Alk40: was hoping to do core install with i3wm [09:10] @ralpheeee if i may ask, why use small iso's when you can download the larger ones [09:11] Alk40: to much junk / clutter on them... [09:11] only lubuntu and server fits on a cd [09:11] Hi, I have a disk which is giving me problems. This disk is one of 4 disks comming from a RAID configuration, so I cannot read that as a single disk obviously. I am trying to clone this disk using a hardware cloning station, but its just stopping in the process. So I want to just attach this disk via usb3 to my machine and see if i can at least access some sort of meta data to see if the disk is alive. Is that possible? [09:11] Gallomimia: That sounds logic [09:12] stangeland: query its' SMART status first, if it's failing your attempts might make it worse - what RAID mode is the 4 in? [09:12] Alk40: also dont want to use an DE ...just i3wm [09:13] @ralpheeee yeah i see what you mean, im not sure if the core has the wifi support, but like i said, if you can hotspot on your phone via usb you might pull it off [09:14] !offline | ralpheeee (may be a solution if you can download to a usb) [09:14] ralpheeee (may be a solution if you can download to a usb): If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. See also !APTonCD [09:14] daftykins, its running raid 5 [09:15] stangeland: then why are you bothering? check its' health, if it's failed, replace it and rebuild. [09:15] daftykins, it has valueble data on it. I cannot just rebuild [09:16] you realise how RAID works, right? [09:16] somsip, ubottu:...thxs...may be i need to invite my self round to some1 with eth0 \0/ [09:16] stangeland: that's just a member disk, the content is rebuilt from parity information stored on the other 3... [09:17] ralpheeee: I take it you're installing on a device that only has wifi? [09:17] ^^ [09:17] ralpheeee: possibly...boot to live CD, download your packages, save to USB, build to mini,iso, use downloaded packages on USB. No friends required ;) [09:18] @strangeland if your drive failed getting your information may be non existent [09:18] \o/ [09:18] ralpheeee: possibly...boot to live CD, download your packages, save to USB, build to mini,iso, use downloaded packages on USB. No friends required ;) [09:19] @ralpheeee or the usb phone hotspot as eth0 :) [09:20] thxs guys...great options...!! [09:21] def a step forward [09:21] Can someone confirm, is /dev/zero device in RAM? i.e. when using it with dd to test writing speed to SATA disk (e.g.) am I testing writing speed from RAM to disk? [09:22] krcevina: not really, its just endless 0s [09:22] daftykins, its a sticky situation where the disks where plugged out from the disk container and needs to be put into a different container....only i wanted to clone the disks before attempting to put them into the new container. So i used a cloning station, and one of the disks did not want to clone basically [09:23] stangeland: so check the SMART info like i said on connecting it to a PC. [09:24] Ben64: So, if it were not endless 0s it would be different speed? So, should I use tmpfs and mount device on RAM and then test write speed from it to SATA disk? [09:27] @krcevina you can set the speed in transferring files but the faster you do it the higher chance of fail and corrupt files. and yes you use ram but im not sure how much [09:30] Alk40: What does "you can set the speed in transferring files" means? [09:30] Hello...its me again. fail2ban checks for ssh failures and then acts. Does the ubuntu logon screen use ssh? if it doesnt, what does it use? [09:31] krcevina: what are you trying to accomplish [09:31] @krcevina im talking about dd, when you transfer or copy files over you can set the speed at which you copy/transfer [09:31] I-am-Groot: looks like /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log but I don't use lightdm so not sure [09:31] And how can i configure fail2ban to check for ubuntu logon instead of ssh [09:32] ook somsip [09:32] lemme give it a try [09:32] I-am-Groot: nobody is going to be hitting your login screen hundreds of times per second with a robot [09:33] Ben64: I want to test my NAS performance while rading and writing to it via 1GB Ethernet. I want to localize the bottleneck. Is it Ethernet driver, or SATA driver or what? So, I want first to see is my read and write speed from RAM to SATA disk good. Then if there aren't suprises I will concentrate on Ethernet driver. [09:33] Hey everyone! I have an issue: installed Ubuntu alongside Win 7 on two separate drives, Ubuntu said to restart then Windows started up, no GRUB or anything, but the second drive is missing from Windows (as expected). So I can't get to Ubuntu [09:33] I know... but i want to be able to run reboot my pc once someone enters a wrong password for 2 times [09:33] krcevina: so use /dev/zero then [09:34] magpie: can you still enter grub holding shift? [09:34] krcevina: but check the man page for dd to get the options you want [09:34] the ubuntu irc freenode server seems to be down [09:34] adac: nope, you're on it [09:34] I need to hold shift when starting the computer? [09:34] adac: join #freenode for connecting issues [09:34] Ben64, lotuspsychje I'm on verne.freenode.net [09:34] magpie: please try yes, to enter grub [09:34] Ben64: Okay, that's what I wanted to check. Thanks guys [09:35] Ben64: Do u get it now? [09:35] Okay I'll give it a shot [09:35] I-am-Groot: doesn't make any sense [09:36] Hmmmm... When someone enters wrong password twice on my logon screen, i would want my PC to shutdown [09:36] I-am-Groot: still doesn't make sense [09:36] If the person tries turning it on, he would be presented with the dell secure manager [09:36] which i have settup [09:37] Dell secure manager forbids access to BIOS or Installation CDs or Flashdrives [09:37] I-am-Groot, i think you don't need fail2ban, but pam-tally for blocking login after 3 wrong attempts http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man8/pam_tally.8.html [09:37] No dice on holding shift while booting (I tried starting to hold before and after pressing the power button) [09:37] OOkay [09:37] not sure how to do that. [09:37] what is command to do release upgrade from command line? I lost my gui when laptop froze partway through upgrade. [09:38] Thanks for the info [09:38] I-am-Groot, old tutor, http://askubuntu.com/questions/338588/limit-user-login-attempts-ubuntu-12-10-pam-tally-so-pam-tally2-so [09:38] So Ben64 do u get me now? [09:38] !upgrade | BlackDalek [09:38] BlackDalek: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [09:38] OerHeks, I-am-Groot, it should be able to it working with fail2ban as well, just set proper options for that jail. Just saying :) [09:39] OOkay [09:39] hateball, have an example? [09:39] Thanks man [09:39] I-am-Groot: i never not got you, it just doesn't make any sense to allow people to shut your computer down === Guest88875 is now known as HeisenbergsDog [09:40] Its better to have them shut it down to a state where the user cant do any harm then keep it on in a state that the user could breach and get access into the PC [09:40] I trust dell's secure manager more than i trust Ubuntu's logon screen [09:41] Does that make sense now? [09:41] nope [09:41] I-am-Groot: you think someone gonna crack your password on logon? [09:41] Yup. [09:41] is your password one character [09:41] I-am-Groot: invent a long complex password [09:42] doesn't need to be complex to stop someone from manually brute forcing :| [09:42] lotuspsychje, i can't use any upgrade tool which relies on gui. i only have access to a tty terminal. [09:42] Loool...so that anytime i need to use sudo -s, i would have to type a militry grade password into the terminal everytime...? [09:42] Takes very long to brute force correcthorsebatterystaple [09:42] OerHeks: not really. But actions are in /etc/fail2ban/action.d, so it should be possible to write your own action.conf that runs 'reboot' on action-start [09:43] jmaister: not since that one is in dictionarys now :P [09:43] hehe [09:43] I-am-Groot: think about it realistically, how many passwords can someone try in an hour? [09:43] well, this is my point https://xkcd.com/936/ [09:43] a minimally complex password will be impossible for a human to guess [09:43] Okay...i get ur point Ben64 [09:44] how do i resume/restart upgrade from commandline with NO GUI? [09:44] But i would also want the PC to do a couple of theings after the person has entered 2 wrong passwords [09:44] BlackDalek: broken upgrade can be tricky mate, cant you just start over? [09:44] Like delete a directory and take a picture with the webcam [09:45] I have finnished writing the script [09:45] you want your pron to be deleted ? [09:45] Lol [09:45] BlackDalek: wich version to wich was you upgrading? [09:45] Sort of [09:45] :) [09:45] I-am-Groot: so you're going to make your system less secure by letting anyone delete stuff [09:45] cool plan [09:45] I have a backup. [09:45] lotuspsychje, no. From 14.10 to 15.10 [09:45] Lol [09:46] porn backup [09:46] BlackDalek: bad plan mate as 14.10 is eol [09:46] Its not porn [09:46] BlackDalek: try to install clean [09:46] But it wouldnt be a bad idea to have a backup of ur best porn [09:47] :p [09:47] I-am-Groot: Have you seen this? http://askubuntu.com/q/253189 [09:47] I-am-Groot: why don't you just encrypt the dir using encfs? [09:47] Groot means big in Dutch btw [09:47] Yeah [09:47] we know [09:48] lets keep ontopic guys [09:48] well i know, seeing how i am dutch [09:48] Eric, the files are stored on my NTFS partition [09:48] isn't there some command to initiate upgrade without using gui? [09:48] I-am-Groot: you can make a encfs dir there [09:48] ( i think ) [09:48] Hmmmm... [09:48] sudo apt-get install encfs [09:49] BlackDalek: do-release-upgrade but use at own risk [09:49] hay i'a ubuntu users [09:49] jmaister: I have the camera script down already [09:49] I wrote it in python [09:50] i hate ChanServ [09:50] novanauliazami: please only support questions here [09:50] Now all i need is way to track the failed attempts and run the script once the allowed time has been reached [09:51] btw I-am-Groot, are deleting it securly, by overwriting it ? [09:51] wiiguy...just a normal delete would be okay [09:51] ah so that they can recover it :) [09:52] Looll...Now u guys are just pulling my legs [09:52] hehehe sorry [09:52] hey,ive got a problem with the lightning calendar showin time in 12h format instead of 24h.

[10:30] Hund: same usb stick works on other laptop [10:31] Wulf: Ah. Just making sure. :) [10:33] Does the latest release of Ubuntu support multi touch touchscreens? How do I enable it? [10:34] mtk300: ubuntu should have touch support, wich device are you trying? [10:36] Wulf, to boot from USB on EFI-enabled laptops, you will need to perform "full shutdown". Remove power, remove battery, press power button to ensure, put battery in. Now you can select your boot device and actually boot from it. [10:36] Wulf, subject to you pressing the right button to get to the boot menu [10:36] Wulf: is secureboot disabled? [10:37] lotuspsychje: I have an n-trig usb touch screen. I can only get singlr touch to work. [10:37] Wulf, and if your USB sticks boots only using legacy, you may need to change boot type from EFI to legacy for the time being in the BIOS before that works. [10:37] Wulf, and what EriC^^ sai ;) [10:38] mtk300, for touch support questions, you can ask on #ubuntu-touch [10:38] secureboot should be disabled. Anyway, network boot appears to work [10:38] iptable: ubuntu-touch is only for phones and tablets [10:38] iptable: Ok thanks . I will try that. [10:39] lotuspsychje, which means they should be able to answer the multi-touch touchscreen question ;) [10:39] iptable: if the device runs ubuntu desktop, questions belong here [10:39] lotuspsychje, ah, ok [10:39] mtk300, is that ubuntu desktop? === Guest52175 is now known as matt_ [10:41] I evebtually want to run Ubuntu on a raspberry pi. Which is desktop Ubuntu. [10:41] mtk300, the pi last I checked will not work with Ubuntu as Ubuntu doesn't have the architecture support for it. [10:41] mtk300: Given Ubuntu doesn't support the version of ARM that the pi runs.... [10:42] !arm | mtk300 [10:42] mtk300: ARM is a specific (RISC) processor architecture used in a variety of applications such as handhelds and networkdevices.

[11:21] <_Avocado_> so much more complicated [11:21] microsoft [11:21] don't ask [11:21] their logic [11:21] !uefi | _Avocado_ try this then [11:21] _Avocado_ try this then: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [11:21] _Avocado_: there's UEFI ,or BIOS, not UEFI BIOS :) UEFI is a vast improvement [11:21] <_Avocado_> cool [11:21] <_Avocado_> TJ-, ah I see.. [11:22] _Avocado_: if you're doing dev work, a VM guest would allow you to make use of the space in the Windows file-system [11:22] some things are better with UEFI but other things are worst. [11:22] _Avocado_: or singleboot ubuntu on whole ssd, and install windows in virtualbox, tons of options [11:22] <_Avocado_> I dont like the idea of virtual machines [11:22] <_Avocado_> Just want the real deal OS [11:22] _Avocado_: the world exists on them [11:22] <_Avocado_> im low on RAM, dont they use more resources? [11:23] VMs are usually fine, except for gaming. [11:23] _Avocado_: for what purpose are you using windows? [11:23] <_Avocado_> Adobe [11:23] <_Avocado_> and im not sure my drivers will all be supported on ubuntu [11:23] _Avocado_: yes, like any application. It depends what you want in the 'dev' environment. A basic install without GUI is not going to need 512MB [11:23] <_Avocado_> so i want to try with dual boot first [11:24] _Avocado_: some products can be ran from playonlinux or wine aswell [11:24] <_Avocado_> I dont game on this laptop tho [11:24] <_Avocado_> so no worries on that [11:24] _Avocado_: playonlinux does software too [11:24] <_Avocado_> running adobe with wine, i dont know. [11:24] not only gaming [11:25] <_Avocado_> ahh i see [11:25] adobe photoshop or the whole CC thingo?

[11:25] <_Avocado_> this uefi page of ubuntu seems a bit too complicated for me [11:25] <_Avocado_> i dont wanna mess up my windows, go to work with this everyday [11:26] <_Avocado_> goddamn microsoft. [11:26] this is weird. when i plug in headphones, audio switches fron speakers to headphones - as expected [11:26] Hi. I have used clonezilla to backup and restore the system after messing things up on a single partition install (everything on the same partition including boot and home). I now have boot and home on their own partitions and don't know if I should back those as well with clonezilla or if only backing up the system partition is enough should things get messed up [11:26] _Avocado_: EriC^^ can help you with the uefi part [11:26] when i unplug the headphones, audio does not switch back to speakers anymore in wily. it must be a regression -> bug [11:26] !sound | Sonderblade [11:26] Sonderblade: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

[11:27] hi guys [11:27] lotuspsychje: thanks :) but that info is probably to general to help in my specific problem [11:27] Redblue: It never hurts with one backup to many. [11:27] i have reinstalled my ubuntu but seem to now go into grub rescue mode [11:27] !bug | Sonderblade if previous doesnt help [11:27] Sonderblade if previous doesnt help: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [11:28] @jake, you grub loader got corrupted? [11:28] your* [11:28] no idea how to get out from it. Tried boot repair on the recommended repair [11:28] Hund, but what will be necessary for the restoring process to complete: just the system partition or also home and boot? [11:28] that or iether the grub has changed location [11:28] _Avocado_: the point of UEFI is that multiple OS can co-exist without over-writing each other's bootstrap code, which is the big issue with BIOS boot systems [11:28] lotuspsychje: i think it is a bug. but filing a bug before you're really sure it's a bug and not just a system misconfiguration is useless [11:29] the recommended repairt give me a GPT error saying GPT detected creazte a BIos Boot partition [11:29] <_Avocado_> TJ-, i have bios at home with 2 os on one ssd, how come i dont have that issue? [11:29] Sonderblade: you could try digging your logs while playing with sound [11:30] _Avocado_: in UEFI there's a single EFI System Partition, and all OS put their bootloader in that FAT file-system, and then they add an entry to the firmware's boot-menu (stored in NV-RAM) so the firmware does the boot-manager job and directly starts the desired OS [11:31] _Avocado_: And one OS will be controlling the boot-loader code, since there's only one MBR where that bootstrap code can go, to boot. That's how installing Windows after Linux causes the Linux OS to be unbootable, unless added to Windows BCD [11:31] <_Avocado_> my laptop seems to have an issue with ubuntu (heard this from others on the internet) [11:31] <_Avocado_> keyboard apparently doesnt work [11:31] <_Avocado_> thats a big thing imo [11:32] yeah that's a problem _Avocado_ [11:32] Redblue: Depends on how bad you fucked it up. Boot is easy to fix, but stuff in /home could be a unreplaceable depending on what you do and store there. [11:32] <_Avocado_> theres a fix by patching the kernel apparently [11:32] <_Avocado_> sounds like too much trouble [11:32] _Avocado_: that's usually a bug in the PC's i8042 hardware, and there are workaround kernel command-line options to deal with it [11:33] <_Avocado_> i8042? [11:33] My laptop has SLI graphics cards and ubuntu just shits power into both cards even when not needed. <1hr battery life ;_; [11:33] Hund, I usually mess it up after installing/uninstalling packages [11:34] <_Avocado_> PanicSkittle, how powerful is SLI in comparison to just one of the graphic card? [11:34] Naughx: should i go ahead and create a boot partition? [11:34] <_Avocado_> 200%? [11:34] <_Avocado_> 150%? [11:34] _Avocado_: i8042 is the chip (emulation) that the original keyboard and mouse were attached to, before widespread use of USB. Laptops often have the internal keyboard connected to an emulated i8042 and that emulation is sometimes broken, causing problems for the kernel to talk to the device [11:34] PanicSkittle: Which driver are you using? [11:34] 200 I guess [11:34] <_Avocado_> TJ-, Do you think I have that chip? [11:34] <_Avocado_> TJ-, How can I see it? [11:35] bekks: no clue. but I plan to remove the second card anyway in favor of an SSD. not a huge deal [11:35] PanicSkittle: So that issue is solved already. [11:35] not until I buy the SSD unit [11:36] it's an annoyance really, not much more than that [11:36] Redblue: How? Do you tend to uninstall the kernel itself or what? :P [11:36] PanicSkittle: So remove the second card. [11:36] _Avocado_: if the PC has started, and assuming you have control from an external USB keyboard, or via a remote network SSH link, you can look at the kernel's boot log, 'dmesg'. [11:36] <_Avocado_> hmm [11:36] I plan to, but I don't want to leave a fat gaping hole in the side of my computer when I pop it out [11:36] <_Avocado_> I´ll ask you when I got so far as to install ubuntu on it [11:37] so I am waiting to order the drive bay that fits in the hole [11:37] Sometimes I try to upgrade packages and they don't work. Sometimes I try to compile programs not available and repositories and they don't work or break others so I just say "ok let's just go back in time and I'll have everything as it was" [11:37] _Avocado_: you can view the dmesg log from the Live ISO 'Try Ubuntu' environment too [11:37] PanicSkittle: please keep the channel free for ubuntu support issues [11:37] <_Avocado_> TJ-, does 15.10 have better support you think? as opposed to 14.04 [11:37] fuck off [11:37] !language | PanicSkittle [11:38] PanicSkittle: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [11:38] _Avocado_: later releases are always going to support recent hardware better than releases from before that hardware came on the market [11:39] can files which are deleted inside the .ecryptfs dir be recovered? [11:39] ridders24: From your backup, maybe. [11:39] <_Avocado_> TJ-, Acer keyboards e.g. in Acer SW5-012 use synaptics touchpad USB ID (06cb:2968 and 06CB:2991) and have the following issue: [11:39] <_Avocado_> The report descriptor specifies an excessively large number of usages and logical max (2^16), which is more than HID_MAX_USAGES. This prevents proper parsing of the report descriptor. [11:39] <_Avocado_> Found the problem [11:40] bekks: I'm trying to do some testing on this, is the backup an automatic process or something the user would have to setup? [11:40] ridders24: It is something the user has to setup. [11:40] _Avocado_: ahhh, but that's a touchpad not a keyboard, isn't it? [11:42] <_Avocado_> TJ-, could be both maybe? It does say ¨Keyboard¨ [11:42] bekks: okay. within the container what are the ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED. files? [11:42] _Avocado_: can you pastebin what you're seeing, I'm having trouble following you [11:43] <_Avocado_> TJ-, Im talking about the copy paste [11:43] <_Avocado_> TJ-, im on windows right now, not on ubuntu or havent evne install ubuntu yet. [11:43] _Avocado_: OK, is that coming from a web page somewhere? [11:43] <_Avocado_> yep [11:43] <_Avocado_> github for the fix [11:44] <_Avocado_> https://github.com/SWW13/hid-acer [11:44] ridders24: FNEK FileNameEncryptionKey [11:44] what's the current kernel version in 15.10?

I want to know will it work well in 15.10 or will there be issues? [11:47] amnix: working well depends on your system mate, check a live usb to test? [11:48] there are no ways to know except by trying it [11:48] _Avocado_: Unfortunately, recently, we've been seeing a very large number of problems with Acer devices because it seems like they are only developing them for Windows, and any shortcomings in the hardware is worked around in their Windows drivers, but Linux never gets any attention.

[11:49] <_Avocado_> TJ-, good to know i shouldnt buy acer next time [11:49] <_Avocado_> TJ-, Ill just stay on windows till i can afford a new laptop [11:49] <_Avocado_> TJ-, thanks! [11:49] lotuspsychje: The thing is I've actually already tried it. And it fixes my touchpad. But I get some errors before the splash screen.

Just install ubuntu [14:45] yes try to [14:45] wait [14:45] it's giving me a libparted warning, "error fsyncing/closing /dev/sda:input/output error [14:45] :( [14:45] kiddd, bad disk. deal with it. [14:45] k [14:46] yes it is dead [14:46] is there any way I can destroy everything on it so it will be like brand new? [14:46] burn it [14:46] :( [14:46] but it was working fine when I got it [14:46] what went wrong? [14:47] kiddd, microwave it for 30 seconds then place it in the freezer overnight. tomorrow, re-purpose it as a paperweight. [14:47] lol [14:47] well [14:47] transport damage [14:47] I don't know what went wrong, I'll have to get a new hard drive or something [14:47] sadly yes [14:47] anyway thank you so much Naughx you were really helpful [14:47] !cookie | Naughx [14:47] Naughx: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [14:47] kiddd, how old is this drive? cuz I'm pretty sure 80 gb drives aren't even sold anymore. I had an 80 gb drive --- back in 2004 [14:48] cfhowlett it's brand new I think, a computer guy gave it to me [14:48] he said he had tested it [14:48] and it worked [14:48] Hi, when connecting to a samba share via nautilus, there is a dialog, is it possible to set "defaults" for it? the default is "anonymous this is annoying [14:49] kiddd, " tested " [14:49] hmmm [14:49] may want to talk to the guy [14:49] lol we trust him [14:49] he's a good guy [14:49] he gave it to use for free after the one we bought off newegg didn't work [14:49] yeah, but maybe there was damage done to the HDD on transport [14:49] kiddd, then chalk it up to bad equipment. it happens. [14:49] Well I think I might've messed it up trying to install ubuntu too many times [14:49] magnetic HDDs is probably one of the thing that breaks the most easily in a computer [14:49] is that a possibility? [14:49] nope, that's nearly impossible [14:50] :( [14:50] mmechanical parts [14:50] done that 35+ times [14:50] kiddd, installing ubuntu did not cause i/o errors [14:50] you're right [14:50] so I'll have to take it back to him [14:50] and make him fix it, :D [14:50] just moving your computer can cause shock damages to your drive [14:50] yeah, that would be my next step [14:50] well you guys are awesome, if I ever need any more help installing ubuntu, I'll come back here, :D [14:50] doesn't really happen that often IMO [14:51] good! Happy to see you come and join us [14:51] the sucky thing is the first hard drive we bought was totally unusable [14:51] maybe you will even help people out yourself next time :) [14:51] maybe you should get an SSD, they are usually more reliabe [14:51] then we took it to him, he said it was bad, and he gave us a new one [14:51] and avoid seagate drives [14:51] then the new one is bad too :( [14:51] I hate hard drives, [14:51] already [14:51] yeah, it can be tricky [14:51] and I just built my first computer! [14:51] nice :) [14:51] ~very frustrating [14:52] that's a good start [14:52] anyway thanks y'all [14:52] I've only had problems with seagate drives [14:52] bye :) [14:52] bye [14:52] Hi, when connecting to a samba share via nautilus, there is a dialog, is it possible to set "defaults" for it? the default is "anonymous this is annoying [14:55] hmmm, sec ren0v0 [14:56] b_l4ck, i've searched for a config file that contains it but can't find one. smb.conf does have default "workgroup", but default username is the unix username, i really want to change this, and also the default radio button is now guest, this wasn't the case some updates ago [14:57] it's the default i guess, have you tried reading the samba docs? [14:57] ren0v0: https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html [14:58] yes [14:58] could't find anything here about default client config [14:58] i think it may be nautilus related? [14:59] add this under the [global] section: [14:59] force user = rolf [14:59] force group = codersyy [14:59] where rolf should be the user wanted [15:07] b_l4ck, there is no daemon/service for samba client right? [15:07] i mean this change did nothing, but i haven't restarted anyhting either [15:08] uh, yeah there is [15:08] try service /etc/init.d/samba reload [15:09] ren0v0: ^ [15:09] nope [15:10] ps auxf |grep samba then [15:10] is samba running? [15:10] i have, but nothing is running, why would it be? [15:10] we aren't talking about samba server here are we [15:10] its a client config [15:10] this is actually an ubuntu GUI query, where the hell is it pull this from! [15:11] sorry, i don't know ren0v0 [15:11] hope somebody knows [15:12] me too, its a small thing but every time i connect to my NAS i need to change this info, the extra few clicks and typing is pretty annoying!

[16:28] Hi, I just forgotten the passphrase for my encripted home, and I want to upgrade my system without loosing my data in this partition ( an lvm partition); is that possible to make this ? I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 I want to upgrade to the latest 15.10 [16:29] I think it is impossible to dist-upgrade, and I will need to install from an iso [16:29] 12.10 went EOL ages ago =| [16:29] I know [16:29] itaipu: you will need a new install not an upgrade. [16:29] you've been severely at risk by continuing to use that [16:30] itaipu: and your lost passphrase might be an issue. better rescue all the data into a backup [16:30] k1l_: yeah, well, no way to escape. I was in hope to know how to recover my passphrase [16:30] k1l_: thks, anyway [16:31] itaipu: if it is ecryptfs encrypted home (stored at /home/.ecryptfs/$USER/) then you can back that up. Also, the passphrase for that is supposed to be the user password [16:31] itaipu: unless you have changed the user password without syncing the 2, in which case try using the previous user log-in password to mount the encrypted files using "ecryptfs-recover-private" [16:33] How are versions of packages handle in Ubuntu?

[16:38] you sure it's not as simple as "sudo modprobe rt2800" ? it might be rt2800usb or rt2800pci [16:38] sgo11: something like http://ppa.launchpad.net/atareao/atareao/ubuntu/ (that is just an example ppa) [16:38] k1l_: there was one issue with monitors.xml and another with compizconfig [16:38] daftykins: that driver has serious problems [16:38] trying to avoid it [16:39] k1l_, apt-get update works fine. does it mean the link to repo has no problem?

[17:31] „Can’t open display" [17:31] yeah [17:31] tty is fine [17:31] ok write a script that will run when you login [17:32] xrandr --output --auto [17:32] it’s only that x uses the secondary display as an extension for the built in one [17:32] something like that turns it on [17:32] EriC^^: it is on [17:32] EriC^^: i want the buit-in (broken one) to be turned off, as that is now the main display [17:32] EriC^^: and i cannot see anything on it. i want only to use the external screen [17:33] ok [17:33] so tty the external works, X it doesn't just the built in? === Rexodus_ is now known as Rexodus [17:33] nbusrone: where did you add the if statement? === andrex|off is now known as andrex [17:34] halvor: ? [17:34] EriC^^: you don’t really understand it [17:35] halvor: you're not explaining it well, be concise [17:35] halvor: are you currently controlling the PC via a remote ssh ? [17:35] EriC^^: both screens work properly, apart from the fact that the built-in one is cracked. and that’s the first screen in X, the external one is just extension. so all the menus are on the cracked lcd and i want that to be turned off. which i could only get done from tty. [17:36] nope [17:36] TJ-: just booted it up and switched to tty1 from X [17:36] halvor: ok, if that's the case [17:36] then go to settings > display and turn off the built in display [17:36] halvor: right, so you need to use "xrandr -d :0 ..." to target the display, if you're not running xrandr from the same session [17:37] TJ-: thanks, i am going to try that immediately [17:37] EriC^^ : ??? if statement ? [17:37] halvor: as in "xrandr -d :0 --ouput LVDS-0 --off" [17:37] halvor: typo! "xrandr -d :0 --output LVDS-0 --off" [17:38] halvor: settings > display is pretty easy, and you can control a bunch of other stuff.. [17:38] hello I'm trying to wipe my hard drive [17:38] nbusrone: if [ ! -z $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP ]; then nvidia-settings --load-config-only &; fi [17:38] using wipe [17:38] EriC^^: that would be lovely, but as i’ve mentioned before, i cannot see the gui, only tty [17:38] but when I do it, it gives me an I/O error [17:38] so what's up [17:39] nbusrone: add that line to ~/.profile , what did you do earlier? [17:39] Kiddddd: faulty device? [17:39] that's the only possibility?> [17:39] Kiddddd: "I/O error" generally comes from the kernel [17:40] Kiddddd: check 'dmesg' [17:40] TJ-: hmm, xrandr Configure crtc 0 failed [17:40] tj what's dmesg [17:40] halvor: I assume you're using the correct output name for your system; those do vary. use 'xrandr .... -q" to check [17:41] halvor: but, if you're using a tty on the external monitor, does that mean X isn't using that external monitor at all, or just that you Ctrl+Alt+Fx to use it? [17:41] TJ-: i just checked xrandr -d :0 and it’s, the primary cracked display, LVDS1 [17:42] TJ-: used ctr+alt+fx [17:42] halvor: OK, so X knows about and is showing that external output in the 'xrandr -q' report [17:42] TJ-: the primary display is the cracked lcd, so i cannot get anything done in the gui [17:43] halvor: you can change the primary, too, with "xrandr --output X --primary" [17:44] TJ-: where X should be VGA1? [17:44] EriC^^ : I didn't do anything [17:44] nbusrone: you said you got a bash error [17:45] TJ-: is there a way to make this change permanent? [17:45] EriC^^ : oh, I understand , I need to type in the line [17:46] TJ-: and for some reason i cannot switch back to X with ctrl+alt+fxx [17:47] nbusrone: type nano ~/.profile [17:47] nbusrone: if [ ! -z $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP ]; then nvidia-settings --load-config-only &; fi [17:47] EriC^^ : added , will test out tomorrow . The bash error because I just paste the command on the terminal without reading it [17:47] add that if statement at the bottom [17:47] halvor: in the xorg.conf [17:47] TJ-: fixed it [17:47] managed to switch to X and used the gui settings [17:48] TJ-: thanks for the help! i probably would have never figured this out on my own [17:48] nbusrone: hold on there's a typo [17:48] halvor: when switching back from the tty, you don't need the Ctrl held down. in fact, for some keyboards, hacing 2 keys reported down at the same time isn't supported, so it may just send Ctrl+Fx and that, obviously, won't cause the tty switch [17:49] nbusrone: remove the & after --load-config-only [17:49] EriC^^ : i manually paste the if [ ! -z $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP ]; then nvidia-settings --load-config-only &; fi into the profile ? [17:49] nbusrone: yes, remove the & though, so it's [17:49] nbusrone: if [ ! -z $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP ]; then nvidia-settings --load-config-only; fi [17:49] halvor: the default switching is Alt+Fx, the Ctrl was added in X to guard against unexpected switches [17:50] Hi, I get this error: W: GPG error: http://security.debian.org testing/updates InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 9D6D8F6BC857C906 NO_PUBKEY 8B48AD6246925553 [17:50] please can anyone help me fix it ? [17:51] TJ-: thanks, that’s useful to know [17:51] gcosmin: that's a Debian repo, not Ubuntu, so you're likely missing the keys [17:51] gcosmin, why do you want debian/testing updates in ubuntu? [17:52] EriC^^ : http://pastebin.com/eFAyD904 [17:53] OerHeks, I do not [17:54] gcosmin, solution: remove that repo form /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [17:55] or /etc/apt/sources.list if you added it there manually === Guest78300 is now known as Chex [18:03] nbusrone: ok [18:04] EriC^^ : gtg , will restart and try tomorrow :) if I am having error which I can't start the screen ,how do I delete it in terminal ?

I have an issue with ubuntu 12.04.. it is a friends, and it is in a different language, but the idea is that during apt-get update, he ends with the error /var/lib/dpkg/lock (28:not enough space).. any ideas? [18:49] DoYouKnow: no i mean your graphics work on LTS right,? wich wifi chipset? [18:49] tkeller, then you can do "sudo cfdisk /dev/sd#" to create partitions and format the drive [18:49] lotuspsychje: oohh, Intel 8960 [18:49] tkeller, last of all, you will want to edit /etc/fstab and add a line for your harddrive to mount it at boot up (or on command). the details on this command will vary depending on when you want the drive mounted [18:50] sorry, 8260 [18:50] Intel 8260 [18:50] iamwhoiam: "not enough space" says it all, file-system is out of free space [18:50] exit [18:50] (still getting familiar, heh) [18:50] DoYouKnow: hmm intel should have good support to wifi, whats going on with it,? [18:50] from what he says, he tried to upgrade to 14.04 but stopped the procedure - but i cannot be sure since he does not really uses ubuntu, so i cannot be sure [18:50] TJ-: i realize that :) but he has 900mb free === idjetIsStupid is now known as Fuchs [18:50] tkeller, this guide seems to be pretty complete http://www.idevelopment.info/data/Unix/Linux/LINUX_PartitioningandFormattingSecondHardDrive_ext3.shtml [18:51] lotuspsychje: it didn't work by default, so I had to use kernel backports [18:51] but now it's working [18:51] iamwhoiam: where? is there a separate file-system for /var/. Check with "df -h" [18:51] DoYouKnow: so you have everything working on LTS now? [18:51] the only other issue is the lenovo-ideapad kernel module doesn't work right with my laptop yet [18:51] that I don't have working [18:51] so I had to disable it (I'm using the new Ideapad released this or last month) [18:52] tech support in IRC is a pretty thankless job. came to look for help and instead ended up offering support for others hahaha [18:52] last month [18:52] TJ-: thats what i did.

Since, df reports free space, and the upgrade (as far as he says) started, i so not know how to proceed with that error. I couldnt even find details about the error 28 or what else can cause it.

(I had to blacklist the module to use wifi) [18:57] DoYouKnow: doyouknow wich wifi chipset your lenovoa has [18:57] DoYouKnow: there's some weird ACPI stuff on those Ideapads, that's possibly it [18:57] 08:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8260 (rev 3a) [18:58] teward: Installing that wants to pull in policykit, systemd-services, dbus and others.

[19:03] lotuspsychje: the other problem is if I type naturally with my fingers on the palmrrest, I'll accidentally hit the touchpad sometimes and the mouse will move [19:03] is there a way to fix that? [19:03] TJ-: true, but there are cases in systemd environments where it tries to get data that it can't get without those commands [19:03] what are the commands to set grub2's default boot kernel? I am trying to configure a remote server where I cannot access the grub2 menu upon boot [19:03] *my palms [19:03] on the palmrest [19:04] hey all, i DD'd the server iso to a usb, and my system is complaining that isolinux.bin cannot be found [19:04] I used sudo blkid, but it only gives me information on my main 500GB drive, nothing about my secondary 3TB drive. [19:04] runnning isohybrid on it didnt seem to do anything [19:04] DoYouKnow: have about you fix one issue at the time, [19:04] teward: right, but on 14.04 there should only be systemd-login shouldn't there? [19:04] DoYouKnow, I take my touchpad to avoid that issue, very low tech [19:04] pvl: what was the exact of=? [19:04] from dd used? [19:04] /dev/sdb k1l_ [19:05] TJ-: true, forgot 14.04. In that case, maybe that'd work [19:05] seeing as how dmesg said its /dev/sdb [19:05] <_Trullo> is there some app that can turn off the monitor and turn it on again, at specific times? [19:05] pvl: ok, common issue is to dd into a partition but sdb is right then [19:05] but i'm not 100% familiar with the 'every apport bug needs these: [list of commands to get data from' [19:05] tkeller, do a "dmesg" and post the output in pastebin. it may not be recognized as a harddrive - yet. [19:05] vicente: tape? [19:05] TJ-: it's possible those commands depend on `apport`.

I'm running Ubuntu inside an LXC container with a static IP address and gateway. This works fine, what doesn't work fine is DNS. My /etc/resolv.conf is empty. I can hard-code the address of the nameserver, but everytime I do it gets overwritten during boot. What's the proper way to fix this? [19:09] tkeller: select the text you want to copy with leftmouse holding [19:09] tkeller, highlight the text in the terminal, right click and select copy [19:10] DoYouKnow, here is my fix to disable trackpad completely http://imgur.com/OK7012W [19:10] DoYouKnow, tape a piece of paper over it a voila! [19:10] haasn: configure the container's resolvconf to add the IP of the DNS server(s) (either via /etc/network/interfaces or the Network Manager config) [19:11] TJ-: /etc/network/interfaces looks like this: auth eth0 iface eth0 inet manual. Can I add dns-nameservers to this even though it's set to ‘manual’? All of the examples use ‘iface eth0 inet static’, but I was following https://serverfault.com/questions/571714/setting-up-bridged-lxc-containers-with-static-ips/586577#586577 [19:12] can anybody help me i cant find my Bios key Vaio E series product name SVE14116FXB [19:12] thanks for help [19:13] emil5600: ask in ##hardware plz [19:13] haasn: add an entry "dns-nameservers a.b.c.d" that should be processed by resolvconf [19:13] vicente: yeah, but that only works if you're staying with a framebuffer :) [19:14] OK thanks [19:14] emil5600, see the sony/vaio site for the manual?

But all are not working. [19:50] Martijn_, do you have the option to insert guest addition in the "devices" menu in the host side of virtualbox? [19:50] Martijn_: "i tried all" is not very helpfull to get some help [19:51] vicente: Yes, I tried that stuff. That works. But installing the guest additions is the problem [19:51] thanks ubottu [19:52] It says the header for the current running kernel were not found. I googled that, executed the commands but no result. I hate hate hate this configuration hell [19:52] Martijn_: what exactly is the problem? where does it give an error? [19:52] I mounted the guest additions [19:52] Martijn_: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-generic" [19:52] I openen the terminal [19:52] Hello there.

Did you try `sudo apt-get autoremove`? [19:58] Martijn_: then to the procedure again with the guest additions. [19:58] *do [19:58] k1l_: I hope it works [19:58] Ive got a symlink that works in ubuntu but permission is denied on my windows machine (samba share) [19:58] nicomachus: no, will try it. i will got 255mb free disk space. let me do that and i will get back to you in a minute, ok? thanks. [19:59] Ive taken ownership of the file (where the link originates) and given read write and execute... still no access from samba share [19:59] perfect. [20:00] I want to change my system time. By default, server is in New York, so all system time is in EST. However, I'm in PST timezone. If I change system timezone to PST, I imagine I shouldn't have any problems since *everything* should change (as opposed to only changing mysql timezone and leaving system in EST). Is this correct? [20:01] MwM, this is what I found, have you tried editing the SMB.conf file? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1600541 [20:01] I"m still confused on how users work in Ubuntu. Any user that is given the admin flag can install remove software? No neet for root? is this right? [20:01] I should note as well that if I try to set the original folder (the target of the link) as the shared folder I am denied there as well [20:02] !sudo | tux_rulez [20:02] tux_rulez: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !pkexec (for older releases: !gksu and !kdesudo). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [20:02] tux_rulez, users that have "admin" priviledges are allowed to escalate to root level (using sudo) and add/remove programs. [20:02] follow simylinks line looks promising. I will report back :) [20:02] tux_rulez: correct, any user in the sudo group can run commands with privileges [20:02] k1l_: It's installing, but why do you think this solves the issue? [20:02] tux_rulez: yes, we dont run around as root. but give the commands the priviledges with sudo or gksu for gui [20:03] Martijn_: it said it could not find the header files. so now it will install them automatically [20:03] Martijn_, the guest additions REQUIRE the linux header files so they can compile the necessary programs. [20:03] k1l_: I try to understand. Header files? [20:03] Will changing local timezone on my machine break anything? I don't see how it can, but wanted to ask to be sure [20:04] Martijn_, the header files are (if I am not mistaken) files which provide information about the linux kernel to programs that are compiled from source code [20:04] Martijn_: they are needed to compile moduls for the used kernel. you need them because the guest additions are compiling "drivers" for the vbox simulated hardware [20:04] vicente: Sounds cool (if it works) :P [20:05] breaking the third law of thermodynamics sounds cool too, if it works. [20:06] added the to the smb.conf ... no change. Im gettting an error about privaledges, but own the directory/files and have read write and execture. What am I missing? [20:08] hmm... helping a user out on another forum that has wifi and LAN hard-blocked after upgrading to 14.04, but the hardware switch is set to "on".

I had no luck with the fix but there is one ou there === user is now known as Guest92988 [20:11] k1l_: http://pastebin.com/yL3pT1L2 [20:11] MWM it's an intel card. the hard-block part is what confuses me.

[20:22] TheSov, you mean the gateway ? [20:22] EriC^^: Yes, but i am currently executing the command from k1e... [20:22] when you add a local ip you add a subnet, there is a default route added for all those network ip's. [20:22] ioria, no the opposite [20:22] Martijn_: which command is that? [20:22] how to install correct driver? [20:22] oh it was your command sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.19.0-37-generic [20:23] the gateway is used to leave the local subnet, i need to access the local subnet [20:23] lintux: what is the graphics card? and which driver do you have installed now? [20:23] TheSov, 255.255.255.0 ? [20:23] ioria, yes [20:23] TheSov, i see [20:23] Martijn_: ok, run the second apt-get command once it's done, it will let apt-get install the latest kernel and headers every time new ones come out [20:24] TheSov: you can not see the subnet address in "netstat -rn" ? [20:24] when i disable network-manager, and type ifconfig eth0 172.16.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.0, and then i type route. there is no local route [20:24] can you tell me command to that shows my graphics card and tells me what is installed? [20:24] TheSov, are you using NM or edited /etc/network/interfaces ? [20:24] lintux: lspci -k | grep -A2 VGA [20:24] ioria, i am using the command line [20:25] TheSov, sorry to repeat myself... are you using NM or edited /etc/network/interfaces ? [20:25] ioria, i do not know what you mean [20:25] i am using neither at the moment [20:25] TheSov, cat /etc/network/interfaces [20:25] i am trying to manually change it [20:26] ok i see your confusion, i am using neither [20:26] i have disabled network amanger [20:26] http://pastebin.com/UqpHdaMY [20:26] and my network/interfaces is clear except for auto lo [20:26] it says intel but i know I have nvidia also [20:27] TheSov, ok.... so you don't have connectivity :-) [20:27] lintux: maybe it's disabled from the bios? [20:27] ioria, what do you mean? i am connected to the network. [20:27] media state is up [20:28] TheSov, you used the ifconfig command ? [20:28] don't think so it was working earlier before reinstall [20:28] yes [20:28] i can check if i have to [20:28] lintux: what does `sudo lshw -C video` show? [20:28] TheSov: did you use "up" at the end of the ifconfig ? [20:28] ioria, ifconfig eth0 172.16.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 [20:28] yes [20:28] TheSov, i see... but when you reboot you are without connection ... [20:28] ioria, no [20:29] ioria, my issue is that routes remains clear [20:29] it does not add the local route [20:29] so i cannot access the local subnet [20:29] but yet it works fine when using network manager [20:29] TheSov, ok.... why don't you use NM or edit interfaces ? [20:29] ioria, i am trying to script these changes so i can change them at different locations [20:30] TheSov, ok [20:30] I was wondering if there was something i had to change on the system to make it work properly === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [20:31] oh i got it [20:31] sweet [20:31] i had to disable UFW [20:32] weird [20:33] http://pastebin.com/EnX7Hb3S [20:34] what the...

[20:44] terminal is hanging [20:44] I am quite the linux newbie and would like to know if I should switch to Ubuntu MATE. I have a relatively beefy computer so I don [20:45] t think the desktop enviornment will be an issue [20:45] switch from what? [20:45] TheSov, you solved ? [20:46] The default Unity launcher [20:46] GNOMECHILD: unity is heavier than mate [20:46] yes i had to disable ufw [20:46] TheSov, ok [20:46] I am aware but I can run it fine [20:46] GNOMECHILD: if unity runs fine, mate will have no problem [20:47] but is there any benefits to MATE? [20:47] other than the lightweightness [20:47] mostly a taste issue, GNOMECHILD === s1aden is now known as sladen [20:47] thanks [20:50] not anything usefull other than new ca's and ect. [20:50] EriC^^: Well It wasn't anywhere in /var/spool/ [20:51] Bray90820: does it still run? [20:52] it says Nvidia Prime is not supported? [20:53] EriC^^: is there anyway to manually run what is inside of "crontab -e" to check if it is still running [20:55] Bray90820: change the time to * * * * * [21:03] Hi [21:03] I have installed php5-redis on ubuntu but its not showing in modules not I am able to connect to redis. Any clues? [21:09] Hey, im tryign to get a list of all services from command line? I was told by a classmate there is a command that lists them and any with a plus sign shows that they are start up, is this correct? [21:09] What are the irc clients in ubuntu? If there one that comes with the basic desktop instilation? [21:09] p444: which ubuntu release? [21:10] trusty [21:10] TJ- xubuntu [21:10] EriC^^: Now that the cronjob has supposedly ran is there a way to check to see if it actually did or not [21:10] p444: that's what we call the flavour, release is the codename or YY.MM of release. e.g. 14.04, 15.04, 15.10 [21:11] p444: if you're unsure "cat /etc/issue" [21:12] EriC^^: It failed again. Same error. [21:12] tj- one second im just booting up, thanks [21:13] Bray90820: grep CRON /var/log/syslog [21:13] Martijn_: pastebin the error log it refers to [21:15] tj- Ubuntu 10.4.3 lts /n /l was the output [21:16] p444: wow, that's so old and not been supported for a long time. The init system on that was sysv-init, so possibly "service --status-all" but I can't be sure [21:16] EriC^^: Just as I expected it did not run [21:17] EriC^^: http://pastebin.com/kcZMStEF [21:17] That's what it should have done [21:17] p444: oh hang on! I have a 10.04 here ! [21:18] so I have a simple python website scrapper going [21:18] thaty saves an image [21:18] every time the script runs it saves over the same image [21:18] p444: Yes, "service --status-all" [21:18] tj- my mistake its 14.4.3 [21:18] Sorry i read it wrong [21:18] p444: Grrrrrr [21:18] for some reason my ubuntu server is running out ofd space [21:18] specifically the tmporary files are full [21:19] is there anyway to solve this issue without restarting? [21:19] Penorsaurus: swap files? [21:19] I have installed php5-redis on ubuntu but its not showing in modules not I am able to connect to redis. Any clues? [21:19] p444: same answer for 14.04 [21:19] littlebear, do you mean the system doesn't have enough free ram [21:19] so its using hdd? [21:19] Penorsaurus: do df -h and paste the one line that's full [21:20] <_Trullo> can I use xset command from console? [21:20] Voyage: did you restart php5? [21:20] littlebear, I'll do it whenever it becomes full. [21:20] Penorsaurus: is your scraper failing to close the file before it unlinks it? [21:20] <_Trullo> I get -bash: xset: command not found [21:20] tj- sorry! srvice status all seems to work on this vrsion too, is. so does the plus show startup is this correct do uou know, is there a command u can add that u gave me that will give details on each command? [21:20] TJ-, the file is always the same size. wh at littlebear said is very possible about the swap. [21:21] littlebear, restarted apache [21:21] littlebear, its not even shown in available modes http://pastie.org/10599568 [21:22] Guys, which software (present in ubuntu repos) you recommend for live broadcasting/streaming audio/video? [21:22] Voyage: sudo service php5-fpm restart [21:22] assuming you're using fpm [21:22] Penorsaurus: the file size has no bearing on what I was asking; if the program copies the file to the file-system but never closes it, but unlinks it, then the space will be taken up by that file, and every other file created (no matter if the name is identical) until the process terminates [21:22] awal: hm. afaik I use openbroadcast but that's windows, maybe vlc you can do that? [21:23] littlebear, hm [21:23] Penorsaurus: maybe try issue sudo lsof and look for which stuff is holding up the disk [21:23] littlebear, php5-fpm: unrecognized service [21:23] Voyage: do ps aux | grep php [21:23] Is there anyway to undo something I've done via terminal [21:24] Navid: depends on what you did [21:24] littlebear: yeah i know open broadcaster software for windows, and vlc can achieve that a bit, but I was looking for something like open broadcaster software or xsplint made for gnu/linux... [21:24] Trying to set up magento and the official documents said to run this command to set proper permission but it looks like it messed everything up for my system [21:25] the command: sudo find . -type d -exec chmod 770 {} \; && sudo find . -type f -exec chmod 660 {} \; && sudo chmod u+x bin/magento [21:25] EriC^^: Any idea?

Ill look it up but lookign for easiest way [21:32] icecast2 can streamaudio but not video :( [21:32] welcome [21:32] EriC^^: It was already running on my Windows machine.

[21:32] littlebear, how to run somefile.php but echo output on console? [21:32] EriC^^: I host already a Ubuntu machine on my physical machine and that's running properly without errors [21:33] Martijn_: it says "Consult /var/lib/dkms/vboxguest/4.2.12/build/make.log for more information.

[21:38] littlebear: ok, thanks [21:38] I followed a bunch of tutorials from the ubuntu forums and nothing works. [21:39] littlebear: a nice tutorial will be ok too [21:39] Even installed the 4.2 kernel and that was supposed to make it work automagically [21:39] i tried to install a new kernel and it works fine, but it doesn't recognize any devices... I just did sudo apt-get install linux-image-4.2.0-19-generic [21:39] Martijn_: paste it [21:39] anything else i should do?

[21:42] EriC^^: That's ok? [21:42] Martijn_: yeah [21:42] i'm using lubuntu 14.04 lts, and i've observed some odd behavior [21:42] after installing the required dependencies for the latest minitube, it doesn't play sound, only video [21:43] and additionally, youtube is borked on midori [21:43] EriC^^: I have a realy small screen resolution from 640 x 480 pixels. That's very hard to work with [21:43] but when i uninstall minitube and its dependencies, midori works again with youtube [21:43] EriC^^: I want my virtualmachine in full screen mode. [21:44] can anyone help get my wireless card working? it's an intel 3165 [21:44] Martijn_: type sudo nano /etc/default/grub [21:44] littlebear: i dont want to upgrade [21:45] littlebear: i wanna stay on 14.04 [21:45] EriC^^: yes [21:46] goddard: drink the coolaid [21:46] I have a local repository (apt-mirror).

[21:47] i just want to upgrade my kernel [21:47] I have a system with intel skylake hardware. [21:47] EriC^^: What do I need to do after nano...? [21:47] Wireless doesn't work. If that worked...would be perfect. [21:48] goddard: one potential fix is to pull the list of all recent update and roll them back, but is this on a production system? [21:49] Martijn_: what resolution do you want? [21:49] goddard: there is a 4.2 backports kernel from 15.10 in the repo for 14-04 [21:49] 1366 x 768 [21:49] evening [21:49] goddard: I would copy the entire disk into a dev box then rollback each change, but that's only if you have another pc nearby [21:50] Sorry for repeating myself, anyone know a solution to reverse this command: sudo find . -type d -exec chmod 770 {} \; && sudo find . -type f -exec chmod 660 {} \; && sudo chmod u+x bin/magento [21:50] !mainline | goddard use this if the 1st option is not enough [21:50] goddard use this if the 1st option is not enough: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel.

[21:50] Navid: on which path did you run that command? and where did you get that command from? [21:51] Martijn_: get a calculator... [21:51] Navid: this is the official docu and its telling to run that in the magento folder http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/m1x/install/installing_req-prereq_ubuntu.html [21:51] Navid: I assume you're running v1 of magento. http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/m1x/install/installer-privileges_after.html [21:51] littlebear yes its a magento command that I got from their documents [21:51] k1l: I ran it inside my /home/magento/ folder [21:51] Navid: see section 4 === ^CJ^ is now known as ^cj^ [21:51] I'm a complete newbie to linux and ubuntu - anyone has any good websites to visit when you want to learn all the basics?

[21:53] I have a local repository (apt-mirror). From ubuntu-14 "apt-get update" works well. But in ubuntu-12 does not. [21:53] MattHolt: hm.. need to check minitube's code to see what they added [21:53] littlebear: No Im running magento 2. [21:53] EriC^^: Done. [21:53] littlebear oh hey :) [21:53] Martijn_: type sudo update-grub [21:53] Err http://repositorio.claudino.com precise-security/universe Sources [21:53] littlebear: you also talked to me in the other channel [21:53] E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead [21:54] I currently have ubuntu installed on an old computer. What would a lighter option be? [21:54] !Lubuntu | Techno568 [21:54] Techno568: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [21:54] Techno568 you don't have to ditch ubuntu. lubuntu is ubuntu with the LXDE desktop environment [21:54] Navid: magento deploy:mode:set [21:54] littlebear: ok, thanks for the link :) [21:54] EriC^^: Done [21:54] MattHolt: xD, I have like 6 different IRC window opened across couple servers so I tend to get a bit all over the place :P [21:55] hehe [21:55] Thanks MattHolt. Ubuntu is growing on me. [21:55] Techno568 also thank k1l, they made the bot paste a link for you :) [21:55] Martijn_: try it out [21:57] Wireless card help? anyone? [21:57] MattHolt: http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/install-gde/install/file-system-perms.html [21:57] ? [21:57] magento? [21:57] i don't understand. [21:58] MattHolt: um. didn't you have a permission issue? [21:58] ...? [21:58] my minitube and midori were misbehaving [21:58] MattHolt: ops, wrong person xD [21:58] EriC^^: It doesn't work. [21:58] also, isn't magento another distro? [21:58] this is the Ubuntu channe; [21:58] *channe; [21:58] Martijn_: type sudo nano /etc/default/grub [21:58] grrr [21:59] MattHolt: nope, magento is an app [21:59] ahhh ok [21:59] i'm thinking mageia :p [21:59] Is there another lightweight ubuntu system? [21:59] besides lbuntu [21:59] EriC^^: Yes.. done [21:59] Techno568: LXDE, which is lbuntu [21:59] Techno568: Xubuntu is another light DE [21:59] Techno568: it uses Xfce [21:59] Thanks again MattHolt [21:59] Martijn_: add GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep [21:59] update-grub and try it out [22:00] Is kbuntu lightweight? [22:00] haha [22:00] if you want lightweight, stear clear of GNOME and KDE [22:00] MattHolt: do you have access to alsa mixer I think? [22:00] littlebear yes [22:00] O thanks. That is good advice! [22:00] cinnamon is also crap. [22:00] littlebear i checked it [22:00] MattHolt: I think what's happending is that midori and minitube use the same audio output [22:00] hence if one is installed it override the other [22:00] what you can do is install minitube [22:00] cinnamon makes my fan run constantly and drains my battery [22:00] littlebear yes, something of the sort is what i suspect [22:01] then do ps aux | grep minitube and kill that PID [22:01] Techno568: Lubuntu if you want lightweight. all other desktops are more heavy and mostly just a matter of taste [22:01] hello frieds [22:01] MattHolt: so at any given time only one instance is running, either midori or minitube [22:01] Techno568 another option, instead of full-blown desktop environment, windows managers like i3 are also appealing for low-spec systems [22:01] Techno568 though these are a lot more fiddly [22:01] littlebear i see [22:02] If I posted the computer's specs, could someone recomend a ubuntu system to me? [22:02] sure, let's take a look [22:02] okay. === user is now known as CmdLineMonkey [22:02] littlebear and you think that's what causes the midori flash/html5 or whatever to refuse to play youtube videos, as well as make the audio output absent in minitube? [22:02] EriC^^: Added [22:02] hi guys, I have a usb drive that is encrpyted through luks. What is the best way to unmount it without using the gui? [22:03] EriC^^: sudo grup-update again? [22:03] any poblems? [22:03] Techno568: as i said: there is no real difference in the heavy desktops. so just look at the pictures which you like most [22:03] Martijn_: yeah, update-grub [22:03] system? [22:03] EriC^^: Done. I see no changes. Also if I go to the Monitor resolution window [22:03] EriC^^: Do I need a reboot? [22:04] yes [22:04] Yes [22:04] yes [22:04] (just to make sure lol) [22:04] EriC^^: I hope so that this works [22:05] EriC^^: It does also not work [22:07] Question about the proper way to start Gnome in Ubuntu after booting to "text": An example I'm looking at says either "telinit 5", "service gdm restart", or "service lightdm restart" should be used. I find that the first doesn't appear to do anything, and either of the last two appear to bring up Gnome. Could someone elaborate on this? [22:07] Martijn_: paste /etc/default/grub [22:07] Hello!!! === Pedro is now known as Guest85276 [22:08] Martijn_: do you mind if the resolution was 1280x1024? === chr0no is now known as chrono [22:09] EriC^^: no [22:09] davidmichaelkarr: What release ? 15.-4 + is systemd, differing commands to start the GUI then . [22:09] MattHolt: I would do a stacktrace or analysis of what common process midori and the software is playing, but it takes a while to debug [22:09] Bashing-om: 14.04. [22:09] EriC^^: http://pastebin.com/NwtC4qQe [22:09] littlebear sounds painful [22:10] littlebear i may just eschew minitube since midori is lightweight and plays youtube without it [22:10] davidmichaelkarr: ' sudo service gdm start ' should start the GUI . [22:11] Martijn_: ok, type sudo nano /etc/default/grub [22:11] Yes [22:11] EriC^^: yes [22:11] Martijn_: in the line that says "quiet splash" type "quiet splash vga=0x0362" [22:12] then sudo update-grub , it should give 1366x768 [22:12] Martijn_: you can comment the GRUB_GFXMODE if you'd like [22:12] leaving the payload though [22:14] EriC^^: Reboot? [22:14] yeah [22:14] Bashing-om: Ok, and how is gdm different from lightdm? Because "server lightdm start" appeared to also work fine. [22:15] I want to run WindowsCE games, what are my options? [22:16] zerothis: see if they run with wine. [22:16] davidmichaelkarr: lightdm is the login manager in 14.04 [22:16] davidmichaelkarr not very relevant, but gdm has the option to boot into text mode, lightdm does not have that option <-- that's one difference [22:16] boot = log in [22:17] k1l: wine doesn't have any WinCE or PocketPC compatibility options as far as I can find [22:17] hi [22:17] hi [22:17] davidmichaelkarr: telinit 5 is used to tell the system to go into the runlevel 5 which is for redhat's runlevel setup, gui stage [22:17] i have 3 wireless cards and none of them will show up when i type the command lspci [22:19] EriC^^: Big progress. I have now 1024 * ??? resolution / 4:3. Can I go to full screen? 1366 * 768? I set the resolution already [22:20] Martijn_: you might want to upgrade that vbox 4.2 on your windows machine. its 5.xx now and even 14.04 already got 4.3 in their repos [22:21] k1l: he's using 4.3, from the repos [22:21] lspci | grep -i wireless [22:21] EriC^^: he said its a windows host running vbox 4.2 [22:21] davidmichaelkarr: 'gdm' is Gnome Display Manager; whereas lightdm is LIGHT Display Manager . [22:21] Yes, that's right. [22:21] oh you mean the host [22:22] Martijn_: try sudo apt-get install hwinfo [22:22] i mean the vbox where that ubuntu is running in. [22:22] then sudo hwinfo --framebuffer [22:24] EriC^^: I cannot get that package installed. [22:24] Klumsy, sudo lspci -vvv | grep -iE "wire|ether" and you get nothing about your wireless card? [22:25] i get my regular lan card [22:25] EriC^^: Thanks for your help. This helps me a lot. I need to go. I must go to work again tomorrow moring. [22:26] Martijn_: ok, no problem, see ya [22:26] Klumsy, are they new wireless cards? maybe no device drivers support yet? [22:26] Bashing-om: Ok, so when I do either "service gdm start" or "service lightdm start", it seems to do the same thing, which is finish booting up the ubuntu gui. I don't see any difference in the result. Is that surprising? [22:26] new as in newer model [22:26] they are old [22:26] what do i have to install with lubuntu to have wireless support? [22:27] run that command and see if u get any output [22:27] EriC^^: I want to get MonoDevelop running on the Ubuntu environment.. then I can try how that's working in Linux.. I am a C# (Microsoft) developer btw [22:27] Klumsy: Depends if it's a Broadcom or not [22:27] EriC^^: That's what I want at the end, but for today it's enough. Thanks. [22:27] by default, wireless drivers come with ubuntu/lubuntu/xubuntu/etc.. unless its broadcom [22:27] davidmichaelkarr: Short answer, is yes it is surprising .. I expect GDM to start gnome ,, and lightdm to start unity . [22:27] then you need the bcm* package [22:28] I have a D-Link DWL520 in there now [22:28] Bashing-om: i have lightdm starting kde (kubuntu) [22:28] Klumsy, what chipset inside DLink? [22:28] shouldnt it show up in lspci even without the driver? [22:29] akik: K; there is that too :) [22:29] im not shure since it doesnt display and the actual chip is covered by a metal panel [22:29] i think it is an ralink [22:29] Klumsy, yes, lspci will still display the HW info even w/out the driver installed [22:30] well it doesn't [22:30] akik: 'lightdm' will also start (L)ubuntu . [22:30] Does ubuntu have any issues using a GeForce 750 Ti? I know there were problems early on after the release. [22:31] Doyle: Depending on the release you are running . The driver is in the software repo in 14.04 ++ repos . [22:31] 15 [22:31] + [22:32] should be fine then [22:32] thanks [22:32] Doyle: Yep, shid be good to go :) [22:33] hey guys, is there a way to clear dns cache for ubuntu 14.04 ? [22:33] Klumsy, only thing i can think of is the card is dead...do you know if it works on another system? === chr0no is now known as chrono === chrono is now known as chr0no [22:35] Do i need to upgrade to 15.10 ? i still receive updates in 15.04 [22:36] No. [22:38] i get a 503 error in Mint 8 [22:40] Error? [22:41] Mint x64? [22:42] Hi all, if I want to stream my laptop's sound to XBMC using Airplay or DLNA, do I need to setup MiniDLNA on the laptop or something else? [22:44] Hi, I m learning about JDBC, on windows I m using EasyPHP, what alternative can I find on Ubuntu ?? [22:47] Nedal: you just want something to use to connect to a database and play with SQL queries? You want something to write apps that do the same? Bit more detail [22:47] Nedal: Uh, JDBC stands for "Java Database Connectivity". It's part of Java. [22:49] Nedal start here for PHP https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/php5.html [22:49] davidmichaelkarr, true ! I m learning Java language. [22:49] is the standard ubuntu server iso a good place to start a basic VM from? [22:50] creyc: yeah, you can add and remove as you please from there [22:50] Hello Friends [22:50] Kingsqueak, I want something in witch I can create databases and use in a java program [22:50] Bashing-om: Another booting question. I noticed that after Ubuntu starts up the GUI, no matter which way I started it up, when I run gnome-terminal and then run "runlevel", it says "N 2". From what I understand, that means "text login only". [22:50] Nedal: yeah so basically you just want to install Java, install a database of your choice and go, all can be done on ubuntu easily enough [22:51] Nedal: Not sure what you want to do then. Get a good book and install Eclipse. [22:51] Do i need to upgrade to 15.10 ? i still receive updates in 15.04 [22:51] I dont know much about databases! I m using Eclipse for java [22:52] davidmichaelkarr: Bear in mind that ubuntu does not "support" runlevels in the sense that say redhat does . [22:52] noo: 9months after april 2015 the support ends [22:52] hi again [22:52] noo: then you need to upgrade to 15.10 [22:53] Bashing-om: Ok, that would make sense from what I'm seeing. Is that a Debian trait? [22:53] now i used a different PCI slot for my Linksys card and something in lspci shows up as "02:03.0 Network controller: IBM Device 0301" [22:53] k1l ; does upgrading will affect my current system setup ? [22:54] noo: affect in what way? [22:54] Nedal: Google for "jdbc tutorials" and dig in. Many good Java books will have a big section on JDBC. [22:54] Can I install windows 10 after installing ubuntu [22:54] nm-tool shows only one network device still === elopio_ is now known as elopio [22:54] grayvv: yes, just need to reinstall grub afterwards from a live usb [22:54] davidmichaelkarr: What you see is correct for ubuntu . see: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man7/runlevel.7.html . [22:55] k1l ; I don't know maybe the new version stopped supporting some features i currently have . [22:55] noo: could happen. but depends on the exact programs, hardware etc etc etc. but in most times its fine. [22:56] noo: but you have no choice of staying on 15.04 [22:56] davidmichaelkarr, it s not what I m looking for! I want a program lik easyphp on windows in witch I can create database so I can use my localhost [22:57] the hardware support sais that my card works great out of the box in 8.10 [22:58] Ralink RT61 rt61pci [22:58] 8.10 is from 2008. :/ [22:58] k1l : why not , am not setting a server from my computer to worry about security flows or something , am just using my computer for studying and browsing the web [22:58] does that matter? [22:58] Hi people. I'm getting error messages when booting from a usb containing ubuntu 15.10. http://imgur.com/vOKCcwV [22:58] wifi hasnt really changed that much [22:58] Do anyone have a clue? [22:58] k1l ; whats the worst that could happen if i stay in 15.04 ? [22:58] noo: any connection to the internet is a security issue. not only for servers. [22:59] Nedal: You need a JDBC-compliant database application then. That would be MySQL, or some other choices. [23:00] noo: see ubuntu.com/usn that are the fixes you get from ubuntu. if your ubuntu version is out of support a 12year old can misuse your system easily. [23:00] Nedal: Best to take further questions elsewhere then. [23:02] itson: Bad burn on the DVD ? [23:02] davidmichaelkarr, xampp will work ? [23:03] k1l : oh so much vulnerabilities !! [23:03] Bashing-om: It's from a USB, and it works flawlessly on my laptop. :/ [23:03] !xampp | Nedal [23:03] Nedal: We do not support XAMPP installs here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in our repositories; see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for more information. [23:04] bekks, what does this message means ? [23:05] Nedal: That you should not use xampp, but the packages from the ubuntu repos, as stated in the article given. [23:05] noo a system without security updates is vulnerable, that's right [23:05] Tbh, I've had problems with my computer for almost a year. I always end up rage quitting after hours of searching on the web. Tried different distros and versions of ubuntu. [23:05] So, I recently installed 14.04. I had the same problem I had back on 12.04 where the default wireless drivers were wrong. I fixed it using these steps: https://gist.github.com/firecurious/ae6e4623c8135d691070 I rebooted several times since then, but today I ran some updates and rebooted, and then my wireless card was no longer working. I had to work through the steps again, and then the wireless card worked again. I think updating may have updated my [23:05] wireless driver to a broken version. Is that probably what happened? How do I make it not do that, if so? [23:05] bekks, ok thanks ! [23:05] itson: Humm ... I generally equate 'sr0' with the DVD drive . What does ' sudo fdisk -lu ' relate ? [23:06] #join openstack [23:07] Charcoalfire: do only selective updates :) [23:07] Bashing-om: It's on the same computer as I'm currently using (win10). [23:08] I'm trying to run (via icinga2) a shell script that looks like this: https://github.com/Icinga/icinga2/blob/master/etc/icinga2/scripts/mail-host-notification.sh However, no such `mail` command exists by default on my system, and the ones I found either did not accept this specific format or simply failed to work. Does anybody know what `mail` command this script might be expecting to be present on my system? [23:08] (And if so, how to get it to work i.e. actually send e-mails?) [23:08] haasn try in #bash [23:08] Nedal: xampp is more than just a database (MariaDB, fork of MySQL). [23:09] itson: Now it is above my pay grade . [23:09] bprompt: Yeah - in 14.04 it doesn't show me all of the programs it wants to update by default, so when the next update shows up I'll see if I can do that. But then it will ask me for updates constantly *forever* if I leave off one program. Can't I just stop it from attempting to update a certain program? [23:10] Charcoalfire: Unfortunately, the rtl8192cu driver which is being problemmatic is in the linux-image-generic package, which is problemmatic since pinning it at your current version means it will not update as the kernel updates. You might want to write the steps out into a small file so you can run it whenever that package updates [23:10] linux-image-extra, sorry [23:10] * genii grabs another coffee [23:10] Bashing-om: uh.. What is the best place to post a help thread? I started with one here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2305088 [23:11] genii: Ah, thanks for the extra information! I do have the steps in a file, so I should be able to fix it quickly whenever it happens, at least. [23:12] itson: what's sr0 device again? [23:12] itson: Nope, you are good. Await on the forum for yancek or others to respond .. or wait here for others opinions .. [23:12] bprompt: scsi readonly device 0 - aka cdrom. [23:13] /msg nickserv register [23:13] bekks: right.. I'd think so, a dvd/cd device....wondering on the screenpaste [23:13] itson: ^^ confirmation that is is the CD drive with the problem . [23:14] YAY! Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0457:0163 Silicon Integrated Systems Corp. 802.11 Wireless LAN Adapter [23:14] Bashing-om: Well, did I configure it in a bad way using rufus 2.5? [23:15] so i found a USB adaptor that shows up in lsusb [23:15] how do i install the driver for that adapter [23:15] ? [23:15] itson: but the {DRDY} message, usually means, something may be wrong with the hardware itself, so.... adding the error listing, I'd think the dvd/cd disk, whatever that is, is ...not-so-good [23:16] bprompt: That might be, let me try a different usb, even tho I've had problems with different messages like this for a long time. I'll try using it on my laptop again. === Monthrect is now known as Piper-Off [23:17] itson: No idea . But, what results if you boot that Windows box with no DVD or USB drive inserted ? then try and boot from USB with another different known good boot medium ? [23:17] Charcoalfire: The more proper way would be to find vendor:device code for the problem adapter and write a custom udev rule for it so it always loads the correct driver. But this is a tedious process and it's probably just expedient to run the set of commands you already have. [23:17] otsWindows10 === secure boot ?? [23:18] haasn: the standard "mail" from mailutils should work for that, but you'd also need to set up something like postfix if you're sending to other computers [23:18] itson: Windows10 === secure boot ?? [23:18] itson: keep in mind that, optical media, that is dvd/cd disks, can get easily scratched [23:18] Bashing-om: I just used the USB on my laptop. I'm on the install screen right now. Works good. [23:20] Bashing-om: Uhm, I'm using a quite old motherboard a asustek M4A785TD-V EVO 2009-2010 ish. I'm sorry for not being to well on terms and such. Does secure boot work in the old bios? [23:20] bprompt: I'm sorry, it's still not a USB [23:20] bprompt: I'm sorry, it's still not a DVD/CD, sry* [23:21] itson: No .. secure boot is relatively a new thing with Windows . [23:21] itson: so... what' s the original issue anyway? all I've seen is the screenshot you posted, nothing else, what's the full monty? [23:21] Bashing-om: If I remove every SSD/HDD from my computer and inserts a fresh one which I would use for the Ubuntu insntall, still same message. [23:21] gneii: Thanks! I'll look into that, but you're probably right that it's easier to just run my list of commands sometimes. [23:21] onirc.net [23:21] Bashing-om: That's what I thought, don't think I have it. [23:23] itson: Wires crossed in installing that motherboard ? as we say /// sr0 is a CD drive nomenclature . [23:25] Bashing-om: I had no problem using a bootable usb for the win7 installation before I upgraded to win 8.1. I haven't done anything else than changed the graphic card on the motherboard since I put it togeheter. It has had ubuntu installed before. Latest version was probably 11 or 12. [23:25] Bashing-om: doesn't booting from a USB live disk "create" a virtual /dev/srX cd drive? [23:25] Bashing-om: I'm just clueless. [23:25] Bashing-om: itson: I'd be most worried about that USB drive. Try another one [23:28] Bashing-om: mcphail: I'll do that. Just going to localize it. === acrocity_ is now known as acrocity [23:29] itson: As above, see if another bootable USB drive will boot up in that box . [23:33] mcphail: Hmm. I set up msmtp which seems to work but the version is horrifically outdated; so outdated that much functionality is gone (e.g. automatically adding missing headers, which this script would greatly benefit from) [23:33] I tried setting up postfix but could not get it to work out of the box [23:35] reconnecting on laptop [23:35] Hi === Sheep_ is now known as Sheepolution [23:36] I want to buy a webcam, but it's not on the big compatible webcam lists, http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/ [23:36] How big is the chance that it won't work? The brand is Trust [23:37] I found the other (newer usb) fixing it now and will try in a min. [23:42] haasn: apparently "heirloom-mailx" can send to an external server, although I've never used that one [23:43] Hey, is there a schedule that security/patches are released? [23:43] Trying to create a pach policy and want to setup a schedule where I should look at updating/testing boxes [23:45] sadmin, as soon as bugs are fixed, and as soon as theres a new release of firefox/kernel patch [23:45] sadmin: security updates tend to be released as soon as they are ready [23:45] sadmin: when the patches are available and tested they get shipped [23:45] mcphail: So far as I know security patches are released as soon as the hole is discovered and patched, somtimes in a matter of hours . [23:45] not something you can set a watch by [23:46] just $0.02, I've never had Ubuntu updates break a box. I have however had boxes die from patching when people violated package ownership and modified things that they didn't own. [23:46] meaning, if a file is owned by a package, don't modify that file [23:46] stick to that and updates won't hurt anything [23:47] hmm. I'm probably going to do bi-monthly updates with a policy for rolling out high risk security updates then [23:47] Kingsqueak: no true, unfortunately. There have been system-breaking updates a couple of times over the past 11 years [23:48] Yeah, cant really push out updates without testing. I'd probably lose my job [23:48] ;P [23:48] well testing is always best if you have the environments built [23:49] sadmin: be aware that you tend to start seeing scans for a major linux vulnerability within hours of it being published (shellshock etc). You may have been compromised with a fortnightly update schedule [23:50] mcphail: I've seen things break on desktops, but haven't on servers, but it could just be my luck. [23:50] ProTip: Avoid vulnerability. Don't have infrastructure. [23:50] Kingsqueak: yes - the biggest break I can remember was a X thing [23:51] mcphail: there you go, not that it isn't possible... I had about 800 or so Ubuntu in the fleet I'd guess, bunch of other things, RHEL as well, similar story across the fleet [23:51] mcphail: True. Same day patching will be part of our policy, but not something used often hopefully :D [23:52] hi [23:54] installed ubuntu mini.iso and xfce...when logging into xfce i get the following error [23:54] "Unable to load a failsafe session Unable to determine failsafe session name. Possible causes xconfd isn't running (D-Bus setup problem); environment variable $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is set incorrectly (must include "/etc") or xfce4-session is installed incorrectly. [23:55] xyz__: how did you install xfce? [23:56] xyz__: ^^ did you also install "xorg" ? [23:57] bekks: sudo apt-get install xfce4 [23:57] xyz__: try installing xubuntu-desktop [23:57] Bashing-om: xorg was installed [23:57] i3wm works when i log in.. [23:58] xyz__: how you start that desktops? [23:58] xyz__: you log out to the desktop manager and log back in that way? [23:58] or you just try 'startx' or similar? [23:59] Startx? More like destroyyoursystemx [23:59] startx gives me same error [23:59] amirite [23:59] oooo: yes for ubuntu. [23:59] have installed xfce-desktop...brb...rebooting [23:59] xyz__: using a displaymanager? lightdm?
