Klumsywell this totaly sucks. is there a reason why ndiswrapper won't allow my card to work right?01:23
Klumsydoes anyone know?01:23
Liwhat is hud-service and how do I make sure whether it's the reason behind all this processing power consumption and cooling noise?01:23
daftykinsKlumsy: i haven't seen anyone try to use ndiswrapper in a number of years now; which adapter is this?01:23
baadramanypauljw: my speakers seem to be working on very bad quality compared to how they usually work on Windows. i thought its because i dont have the audio drivers installed but i couldn't find any for my laptop. this is my alsa info: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13686699/01:23

k1l_daftykins: its a usb card from 2008 or earlier01:25
Klumsyit works, its just that it won't connect with my router01:25
daftykinswow :D01:25
daftykinsKlumsy: i'd call that not working01:25
Klumsywell yeah, but the system reports it as installed and working01:25
k1l_Klumsy: chances are high that your old hardware doesnt support todays wifi encryption01:25
Klumsythen why would it allow it in netmanager?01:26
Klumsyits just wpa201:26
k1l_allow what?01:26
daftykinsbecause ndiswrapper employs driver obfuscation01:26

daftykinsi would not even try, if something claimed ndiswrapper was the only option01:27
Klumsyso what about a D-Link card01:27
k1l_Klumsy: you have read the 2nd post of the thread you just pasted?01:27
Klumsyshouldnt that be a standard card?01:27
k1l_Klumsy: is it a regular card or is that from the 80s too?01:28
KlumsyNdiswrapper = nightmare and largely superseded for just about every wireless card available.01:28
Klumsysuperseded?01:28
k1l_"Ndiswrapper is possibly the worse way to go and may prevent anything else from working."01:28
Klumsywell my land cable still works01:28
daftykinsidentify the D-Link's chip01:28
k1l_ndiswrapper is a black box trying to make windows hardware wifi drivers work for linux. if they work: great. if not: there is nearly nothing to fix that.01:29
k1l_there is a reason you dont use ndiswrapper with todays cards anymore.01:30
Klumsyi dont know because there are 4 chips for the same model number01:30

izinucsI started the Wiley upgrade quite a while ago and now believe it's stalled/stuck. If I reboot the machine is there a way to reinitiate the install where it left off?01:32
SuperLagbigfoot111: gparted is your friend.01:32
daftykinsizinucs: you mean, assuming you can boot?01:32
bigfoot111SuperLag, yes, but I'm still struggling unfortunately01:33
izinucsdaftykins: exactly.. if I can't I'll be forced to make a usb stick and do a full reinstall01:33
daftykinswell no, make one now then you can repair from a live session01:33
SuperLagbigfoot111: It's pretty cut and dry. What part are you struggling with?01:33
bigfoot111SuperLag, I have a partition with ~100GB free but GParted says it has 0B unused.  That's the first problem01:33
izinucsdaftykins: I'd do that but on my desktop.. this upgrade is on a lappy01:33
daftykinsizinucs: err how does that affect preparing a flash drive?01:34
bigfoot111SuperLag, Once I figure that out, I'm unsure how to take a "chunk" of that space and make it unaffiliated.  After that I know how to make a new partition from unaffiliated space though.01:34
daftykinsunallocated hehe01:35
bigfoot111daftykins, thank you01:35
SuperLagbigfoot111: can you take a picture and post it, with some details about what you're wanting to do? This one is kind of hard to comprehend with just text.01:36
izinucsdaftykins: nothing... just that the lappy doing the upgrade is the one I'm talking on now. the gui is frozen (as part of the upgrade :(  ).. just sayin' If I have to do a fresh install it'll be from a usb created on my desktop since this machine is almost fubar'd01:37
bigfoot111SuperLag, sure gimme a sec I'll take some screenshots01:37
daftykinsizinucs: yeah, could also boot that as a live session and repair via chrot01:37
daftykins*chroot01:37
daftykinswhichever goes01:37
izinucsdaftykins: did that 5 yrs ago.. it's not a procedure that I remember.. it's almost easier to do a fresh install.. there's nothing really important on this machine.01:38
SuperLagizinucs: do the fresh install, if that's the case01:39
izinucsSuperLag: yea.. I ploped an ssd into this so it's pretty quick when doing an install.01:40
daftykinsheh01:40
daftykinsi'd have done that from the beginning, don't believe in upgrades01:40
bigfoot111SuperLag, I want to make another partition using some of the space I have left01:41

deweydbhello. i am trying to get a newer version of nginx on trusty. i added this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~nginx/+archive/ubuntu/development (via sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/development)02:10
deweydband then apt-get update02:10
deweydbthen apt-get upgrade02:10
deweydbbut that found 0 new updates.02:10
deweydbwhat am i overlooking?02:10
deweydbnginx -V says i'm on: nginx version: nginx/1.9.402:10

deweydb!02:12
daftykinscorrect02:12
daftykinsdon't add the package on top! it could be risky02:12
deweydbdef not gonna do that :)02:13
deweydbis there some way of finding the config install flags that nginx is installed with on ubuntu for a version of nginx?02:13
Shibe!unity02:14
ubottuUnity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04.  Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity02:14
deweydbwhat i mean is, i've compiled it with some flags, for 1.9.4, but possibly there are new flags since then that are included by default in 1.9.7 via package manger install02:14
daftykinsdeweydb: you mean compile flags? i think it's in package notes of some kind but can't tell you what those are or how to find them02:14
deweydbbut i won't be aware of these via manual install from source02:14
daftykinsor package changelogs of some kind02:14
deweydbyeah, i just wish i could find someone with nginx 1.9.7 that could show me the output of nginx -V02:16
deweydbthat would make my life just peachy02:17

ovrflw0xbadbodh, no not solved04:13
badbodhVanessa, disable all power-settings (sleep hibernate on low battery etc) let it drain to 0%. then charge it to full 100%, and boot. that's for calibration.04:14

badbodhVanessa, well. battery calibration needs a 0% death followed by 100% charge before your next boot.04:16

badbodhthey don;t really replace/repair your computer batteries in most cases. just force charge, recalibrate and poof!04:17

VanessaI'm trying to setup an IRC server on Ubuntu 14.04 running on an Amazon AWS server. It keeps telling me to install identd, but apt-get doesn't seem to have a package called identd. Any ideas what it's talking about? I tried asking in the ircd-coders IRC but nobody seems to be awake.07:41
VanessaWeb searches on the subject are not coming up with anything helpful.07:42
SCHAAP137Vanessa, oidentd07:42
VanessaIs there something I need to do to configure it?07:42
SCHAAP137hmm, i don't think so07:43
SCHAAP137i never had to change anything, and my ircd works well07:43
rwpVanessa, identd is obsolete in the last 20 years. Why would anything want to install it? Even in the old days it was only useful on local trusted networks.07:44
VanessaIt's still saying that.07:44
OerHekscould be identd service on port 11307:44
Vanessa(02:44:29 AM) hybrid8.debian.local: (notice) *** Notice -- You need to install identd to use this server07:45
SCHAAP137Vanessa, what ircd are you planning to use? i like inspircd07:45
VanessaI'm using ircd-hybrid07:45
rwpWhat exactly is complaining about wanting identd and exactly how is it complaining?07:46
VanessaIs inspircd better? I was just following the first guide I saw online for setting up an IRC server under Ubuntu Server Edition.07:46
rwpA lot of things traditionally check identd, log that it isn't there, and keep going.  That is considered normal these days.07:46
Vanessaircd-hybrid says that when I try to connect to the server using Pidgin.07:46
VanessaIt then kicks me from the server07:46
SCHAAP137well, there are a lot of different IRC servers you can choose from07:46
rwpHmm...07:46
SCHAAP137you don't really need a guide for inspircd... the whole config file is littered with comments containing examples and explanations of options07:47
VanessaOk, I'll try that.07:48
SCHAAP137and the installation is quite easy07:49
rwpThe idea behind identd is that on a trusted local network a process on a client connects to a server.  Because the network is trusted the server calls back to the client and asks, "Who owns that process that just called me" and  can trust the answer it supplies.07:49
rwpIt is a completely unstrustable answer on the hostile Internet.07:50
VanessaHow do I uninstall hybserv2 then? I had to compile it from the sources. Or do I still need it for inspircd?07:50
SCHAAP137you wont need it for inspircd07:50
VanessaSo how do I uninstall it?07:50
SCHAAP137sudo make uninstall, usually works07:51
rwpDid you install it using 'make install'?  Then try 'make uninstall' and see if it reverses it.  Some do and some don't.  Depends upon if someone has coded it into the Makefile.07:51
Vanessamake: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'.  Stop.07:51
rwpIf not then one needs to figure out what was installed and then manually remove and clean up after it.07:52
rwpHow?  There isn't any one canonical correct way.  It is always a scramble.07:52
rwpI like to install into a subdirectory of /tmp and then make a list of files and directories that it installed.07:52
rwpThen use that list to remove the files and rmdir the directories.07:52
rwpTo install into a subdirectory depends upon the Makefile.  Sometimes it supports DESTDIR.  Sometimes only "prefix".  Sometimes nothing.  Depends upon the project.07:53
VanessaLooks like it put it in /usr/local07:54
Vanessaok07:54
VanessaIt's gone now07:54
rwpYay! :-)07:55
SCHAAP137Vanessa, you could create a directory /opt, to install manually compiled stuff there, each it's own subdir, this way it doesn't mess up the original tree07:55
rwpGNU stow is also a useful tool in managing the manually compiled stuff too.07:56
rwphttp://www.gnu.org/software/stow/07:56
SCHAAP137i heard about it, haven't tried it yet07:57

fredrickshow do you get vf driver for sr-iov to work on ubuntu? i'm using hyper-v gen 2 guest, managed to get everything but sr-iov working.08:19
VanessaIt's working! Awesome! I was finally able to connect to it! Thanks so much!08:20
mrxhey08:20
fredrickskind of confused by the kernel changelog, it mentions vRSS working but it also mentions them just adding VF message handling to the driver. Which would mean sr-iov wasn't completely implemented.08:20

fredricksits a part of sr-iov08:26

mrxwho is girl here ?08:35
fredricksthere are no girls on the internet08:35

OerHeksfredricks, not sure about ubuntu virt channels, maybe it is an hyper-v issue ..08:35
mircx1then how i shutdown it?08:36
fredricksthats the issue OerHeks the implements for other virtualization solutions were software driven and not paravirtual08:36
fredricksmircx1: you need to find out what process has locked that port08:37
fredricksi would do netstat -nlap|grep 8008:38
mircx1i do08:38

bekksmircx1: Nothing to discuss about, 10.04 is dead. Use a supported release.13:24
OerHeksno fix needed, as it is not a valid bug in supported versions13:24
MonkeyDustmircx1  upgrade first, then ask again13:25
OerHekspeople running unsecure machines on the internet give linux a bad name :-(13:27
NaughxNot worst than Windows XP.13:28

espnoobis it safe to abort a started format of an external harddrive with gparted?13:43
espnoobit is a USB harddrive13:43
espnooband is it faster to format from a laptop than a raspberry pi? does it matter?13:43
OerHekstechnically no, a 'soft' stop won't damage.13:44
k1l_espnoob: the r pi is known to have very bad usb performance. but afaik the limit is the hdd controller13:45
espnoobok13:45
espnoobwhy isnt exFAT available as format?13:45
espnoobis that bc of the harddrive?13:45
espnoobi want a format that works for rapsbbery pi, ubuntu and windows13:45
espnoobsince i might swap it between them13:45
MonkeyDustespnoob  FYI, there's also #raspberrypi13:46
=== ubik_ is now known as Guest13707
OerHeksyou can read/write exFat with fuse, but when you run into issues, you need windows to fix it13:48
espnoobok, so primarily i want to use it with raspbberypi, secondly with ubuntu and maybe with windows. is there any diff between ubuntu and raspberry?13:49
OerHeksespnoob, yes, one is a computer, other is an operating system13:50
espnoobyes but i meant raspbian13:50
espnooblinux distros are the same in this aspect?13:51
bekksNo, they arent.13:51
espnoobwhats the quickest way to format it to ext4?13:51
OerHeksgparted13:52
espnoobok, how long will it take?13:52
espnoobis it faster from my latop than from the raspberry?13:53
k1l_espnoob: raspbian is especially made for the rpi. so better ask them in #raspbian or where there channel is13:53
espnoobwhat is the diff between full and quick format?13:54
bekksespnoob: mkfs.ext4 take just a few seconds.13:54
espnoobwhats the diff to gparted?13:55
espnoobmkfs.ext4, how do i wirte more exactly?13:55
bekksBAsically nothing, both use libext.13:55
OerHeksspawning so many questions without waiting for an answer .. are you really interested in the answer or just keeping us busy ?13:56
espnoobim interested in how long it will take to quick format13:57
k1l_espnoob: ask in #raspbian13:57
DimitrisGRhello all, I have dumped a raw image from a flash drive using the dd command. I want to try to rescue any files (if possible). Do you know any tool that I can use?13:58
OerHeksmount the img in a loop, and try to copy you data ? some examples http://askubuntu.com/questions/69363/mount-single-partition-from-image-of-entire-disk-device14:03
BluesKajDimitrisGR, the outputfile is a target partition ?  if so then the files should be accessible from ubuntu file manager if it's on the same pc14:03
DimitrisGROerHeks, thanks for the reply. the problem is that the partition table is corrupted. i tried some hints that were given in the link. for example: "sudo losetup -f --show -P /path/to/image.img" and then i try "mount /dev/loop0 /mountpoin" but I get the error:"wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,14:10
DimitrisGR       missing codepage or helper program, or other error"14:10
salluHi all14:14
ryan_hi14:15
salluis there any difference in between Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS and ubuntu 1514:16
sallu?14:16
k1l_sallu: yes.14:16
LeviMWell, yes.14:16
barnitothe difference is less than 114:17
k1l_sallu: everything got new version numbers. and 15.04 was the first ubuntu with systemd as init14:17
barnitoLol14:17
salluk1l_, LTS support is the only difference14:17
urukhow to control kb/s with wget?14:17
k1l_sallu: no14:17
LeviMWill Ubuntu be switching from grub to systemd's loader?14:17
LeviMI haven't followed new features and changes in a while.14:18
bekksLeviM: systemd isnt a bootloader, is it?14:18
k1l_LeviM: dont know, but 16.04 comes with grub. grub is a good working solution tested long time.14:18
salluk1l_, oh ok but i installed Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS a week ago, and now i am confused when my friend sent me a message that he installed version 15, is there latest version not on official site14:18
sallu?14:18
k1l_sallu: there is no "15"14:18
joeytwiddleuruk, man wget.  --limit-rate14:18
k1l_sallu: ubuntu versions are year.month. so 15.04 or 15.1014:19
LeviMbekks: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd-boot14:19
k1l_!releases | sallu14:19
ubottusallu: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 9 months to 5 years. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases14:19
salluk1l_, yeah the same i was gonna say,14:19
LeviMEveryone I know that is familiar with grub always sighs when I say I'm using grub2 and not grub.14:19
hicoleriv1How do I make images display in my terminal (in w3m etc.) like in this screenshot:https://goo.gl/8zduzc ? I'm using xfce4-terminal.14:19

salluthanks ubottu14:20
LeviMI'm not very familiar with boot loaders in general, but single-file config's like systemd's boot loader or grub 1 seem nicer than grub2.14:20
LeviMBut again, maybe that's just because I'm a noob ^^14:20
joeytwiddlelilo was nicer.  more colourful14:21
k1l_hicoleriv1: install w3m-img14:21
salluk1l_, ok thanks, i installed Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS along with windows as dual boot in uefi mode, as windows 10 was installed before.. so all i am seeing only windows boots up but i can run ubuntu by pressing to f9 and then choose ubuntu14:21
k1l_LeviM: the default user doesnt neet to touch grub anyway. so he is not bothered14:21
kunaldawnwhats going on here?14:22
k1l_*need14:22
k1l_kunaldawn: technical ubuntu support14:22
hicoleriv1k1l_: It didn't work.14:23
salluk1l_, my question is i can set boot path of ubuntu by going to bios f10 and then in the "customized boot" option add >. boot path of ubuntu, but why ubuntu is not so much quick with such type of issues, like famous issues with brightness control and all that14:23
k1l_hicoleriv1: "my car is broken". that doesnt help to find the solution neither :)14:24
sallulolx14:25
hicoleriv1k1l_: Well, I installed the package, but it still shows everything in plain text.14:25
k1l_sallu: the support from hardware like brightness control depends on the manufacturer shipping drivers for his non-standard hardware14:25
salluk1l_, non standard hardware, do you think intel hd5500 is non standard,? . no dedicated graphic card installed , only intel hd550014:27
hicoleriv1k1l_:also, when I try to use fbi, it gives an error showing this: ioctl VT_GETSTATE: Inappropriate ioctl for device (not a linux console?)14:27
k1l_sallu: no. there are standards for the brightness controll etc. and if your laptopmaker doesnt use that standard, that is an issue14:27
salluk1l_, i mean i can control brightness but it doesn't retain its value when i reboot the pc14:27
k1l_hicoleriv1: try xterm14:28
ovrflw0xhow to install "Oracle JDK" on ubuntu 15.10?14:28
salluk1l_, just a personal query , do you have Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS or the latest release ubuntu 15.10 on the month of october14:29
hicoleriv1k1l_: Tried it out, same thing.14:29
ovrflw0xis this right method to install java jdk oracle? http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/09/install-oracle-java-ubuntu-1410/14:30
k1l_hicoleriv1: xterm  is known to work with images14:31
k1l_sallu: do you want to upgrade every 6 months?14:31
hicoleriv1k1l_: Do I have to configure xterm to make it work ?14:32
k1l_hicoleriv1: dont know. should work form the standard.14:32
sallu_k1l_, ubuntu 15.10 end date is July 201614:32
OerHeks!java | ovrflw0x  yes, it is one of the methods in the official wiki14:33
ubottuovrflw0x  yes, it is one of the methods in the official wiki: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software  Development Kit" (SDK).  Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations.14:33
CtrlCI set grub timeout to 0. but I want to see the menu each time I want manually. holding c while booting brings up the grub CLI but I can't bring up the menu. I tried holding both shifts and esc and spa…14:33
k1l_hicoleriv1: you need to come up with specific error messages.14:33
CtrlC…ce. none worked.14:33
CtrlCalso Ctrl and alt didn't work.14:33
hicoleriv1k1l: when I try to use fbi, it shows this: ioctl VT_GETSTATE: Inappropriate ioctl for device (not a linux console?14:34
CtrlCAnd space brings up windows boot manager!14:34
k1l_hicoleriv1: thats on a desktop, right?14:34
hicoleriv1k1l_:yes.14:34
k1l_hicoleriv1: use xterm then14:34
k1l_sallu: on non-LTS you need to upgrade every 6 months after you waited 9 months at the first upgrade. so if you dont want to do that just stay on LTS14:35
hicoleriv1k1l_: okay, for some reason, w3m works now. But its the same thing with fbi.14:36
hicoleriv1k1l_:I was already using xterm btw.14:36
CtrlCAnyone? Shift should work but it doesn't.14:36
hicoleriv1k1l_: I tried using urxvt 256 color, It worked.14:40

nox_42One partition is ntfs and the other is ext3. It's the desktop version of 14.04.16:09
nox_42In the installer, I can select the option to go to the advanced partition screen. At that time I can see the individual partitions.16:11
TJ-nox_42: If you're using the 'Try Ubuntu' option you'll be able to open a terminal, if so, can you do "sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999"16:11

zetherooSeems like the resolving of IP's and hostnames over the VPN connection drops in and out ....16:12
zetherooanyone any good with VPN issues?16:13
TJ-nox_42: It's a long time since I used the 14.04 Ubiquity installer like that so I can't recall it precisely. Generally, the advanced/manual steps let you define which partition is assigned to each file-system. Usually it wants 2 partitions (1 for the root FS, 1 for swap). You could delete the existing ext3 partition and create 2 in its place to allow that.16:16
TJ-zetheroo: resolving names would be a dnsmasq responsibility; but if IP addresses on the VPN link sometimes don't respond that sounds like a routing issue or connectivity issue16:17
hicoleriI don't have my optimal resolution listed (1280x720) when I type in vbeinfo in the grub console. Hence, I can't get the resolution. What should I do?16:23

Player_hi, i'm running ubuntu 14.04.3 and i'm trying to extend the desktop between my two monitors.  monitor 1 works and displays fine, monitor 2 however only displays tty prompts exclusively.  i'm sure this is because i have the 2nd monitor plugged into my motherboard's integrated graphics, which works fine in windows17:02
Player_anyway to make that work here?  do i need to manually add the integrated video and monitor to the xorg.conf?17:03

OerHeksR13ose, there is a skype recorder http://www.webupd8.org/2014/03/automatically-record-skype-calls-linux-skype-call-recorder.html17:16
TJ-Player_: you'll need separate X sessions for each17:16
Player_TJ-, could you point me in the direction of configuring that?17:17
=== cats is now known as santacat
TJ-Player_: sorry, for "X Sessions" I meant "X Screens". "man xorg.conf" and see the "SCREEN SECTION". You'll also need DEVICE sections for each GPU.17:18

Player_been awhile since i've really used linux, forgot how not straightforward everything is17:24

TJ-Player_: yes. Optimus is this hybrid power-saving technology where the low-power GPU does the easy stuff and the high-power takes over when there's more to do17:26

Player_TJ-, would you mind helping me determine what the sections should be, and where?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/13713387/17:29
motaka2TJ-, ioria:  I am fine. but not with ubuntu. My live dvd ended to ????? dialog box, I burned another on USB flash and again ????? dialig box17:29
ioriamotaka2, how did you do the usb ?17:30
motaka2I downloaded 14.0.3 i386 from the site and I burned it using a program ubuntu.com suggested to the usb flash17:31
* OerHeks wonders if motaka2 has checked the iso with md5sum by now17:32
BluesKajhow many weeks has it been ?17:32
ioriamotaka2, yep, if something goes wrong, the first thing to be is to check the iso... you can do it also from the live 2check disk integrity" ... or some17:33
motaka2ioria: should I do what OerHeks says considering both the live DVD i bought from the store and the usb drive I burned my slf from the site had this error?17:33

ovrflw0xit is not starting17:34
ovrflw0xubuntu 15.1017:34
OerHeksand knowing you have an UEFI machine, maybe 32 bit is not the right solution17:34
motaka2ioria: from where I can check that ?17:35
ioriamotaka2, from the main menu...17:35
OerHeks!md5sum17:35
ubottuTo 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_Windows17:35
ioriamotaka2, you don't get it ?17:36
ioriamotaka2, i mean, the 'main menu' ?17:36
motaka2ioria: I have set the PC to boot with usb and the menu does not show me check disk integrity"17:37
ioriamotaka2, ok, try with md5sum17:37
TJ-Player_: you'll need to add another "Device" section for the other GPU, and add a "Screen" section that uses that device. Also, I'm not sure how well the nvidia driver will 'play' with the Intel driver in this scenario.17:37
motaka2ioria: could you please give me the link ?17:38
TJ-ioria: motaka2 isn't that a sign the ISO booted in UEFI mode - it comes to a GRUB menu, not the {iso,sys}linux ?17:38
ioriamotaka2, OerHeks gave it to you ... but is md5sum file.iso17:39
TJ-ioria: motaka2 however, that would not make sense for the 14.04 i386 image since I'm pretty sure only the amd64 ISOs have UEFI boot options17:39
aalI've been tring to change my cursor theme in ubuntu 15.10 for hours. Haven't been able to do so yet. Can someone help me out, please?17:39
OerHeksTJ- +117:39
ioriaTJ- okey...17:39
OerHeksaal, did you try logout/login to let the theme take effect?17:40
ioriaTJ- how do you know he booted with  uefi option ? sorry17:40
TJ-ioria: I don't, but if I recall correctly when the ISOs boot in EFI mode, they use GRUB, and the boot menu (if I recall correctly) doesn't offer a 'check image' option17:41
aalOerHeks: yes. I'm not sure if I'm doing the right things though.  I've saved the cursor theme to /usr/share/icons and then changed /usr/share/icons/defaul/index.theme to use the new cursor theme. Is this all that's required or am I missing something?17:41
TJ-ioria: but if this is i386 UEFI doesn't apply so far as I recall17:42
motaka2TJ ioria so I should detach the usb and attach it to my laptop and check md5?17:42

motaka3ioria: I changed the boot from usb to harddrive17:57

ioriamotaka2,  still nothing ?17:58
TJ-kthuno: isn't that an AWS issue?17:58
motaka2ioria: with boot on hard drive just a blinking page17:59
tkellerMat I ask a kinda "newb" qustion17:59
ioriamotaka2,  ok, do you have another pc ?17:59
kthunoTJ-: not really - as it was me installing iptables and configured it wrong17:59
motaka2ioria: my laptop17:59
kthunoTJ-: when I rebooted the server I was unable to login with ssh18:00
ioriamotaka2,  with windows ?18:00
motaka2ioria: Yes18:00
ioriamotaka2,  ok,  on it, download Lubuntu 15.10 go to www.pendrivelinux.com/ , plug your usb and do a new one18:00
motaka2ioria: :|18:01
kthunoTJ-: how do disable the iptables/ufw service from running at boot time - you know that?18:01
TJ-kthuno: but I thought AWS has a per-instance security policy which controls external access, before anything reaches the guest? use "iptables -nvL" and/or "ip6tables -nvL" to check the current netfilters rules18:01
motaka2TJ-: help!!!18:01
ioriamotaka2,  Lubuntu is tiny, it'll take you few minutes18:01
TJ-ioria: be aware motaka2 has a slow and unreliable connection, and has downloaded images several times, always hitting this issue. I believe it's a system related issue.18:02
OerHeksstill not tried to check the iso with md5sum, motaka2 ?18:03
kthunoTJ-: it does... but my mail server kept getting hammered by someone trying to login - AWS security group does not allow for reject policies - only allow18:03
kthunoTJ-: so I thought iptables could help... but I locked myself out instead18:03
tkellerI have a system sitting here with 2(two) identical Seagate 3TB drives.   Is there any point nessing with things to set that up as a RAID array?   ( iof 6TB) total capaxirty18:03
ioriamotaka2,  if your usb is not working, and your system does not start ... how can we do something ?18:03
TJ-kthuno: so are you saying the problem instance file-system image isn't running its actually mounted on another running instance?18:04
kthunoTJ-: excactly18:04
motaka2ioria: the try ubuntu without installation works, does that help ?18:04
TJ-tkeller: I'd be more inclined to configure those as a RAID-1 mirror18:04
kthunoTJ-: So I have to remove iptables stuff manually18:04
ioriamotaka2,  i'd say ... yes18:04
ioriamotaka2,  start it18:05
TJ-kthuno: Ahhhh! sorry, your initial description didn't make that obvious to me :)18:05
motaka2ok, you want me to run that from usb or live dvd ?18:05
TJ-kthuno: how did you apply the rules that locked you out - using UFW exclusively?18:05
ioriamotaka2,  it's the same,   the one that works .18:05
kthunoTJ-: actually using webmin :-/18:05
motaka2ioria: this time I will go for the DVD18:05
tkellera rAID 10 -  mirror? for speed and reliabilirty18:05
kthunoTJ-: I created a DROP rule manually and the used webmin to apply and save18:06
TJ-tkeller: no, RAID-1 if there's 2 drives. RAID 1+0 if there's 4 drives18:06
TJ-kthuno: OK, so that means there's probably an entry in /etc/network/interfaces that is doing a post-up iptables-restore18:06
ioriaTJ- right, very unreliable connection  ...18:06
kthunoTJ-: yup - can that be commented out?18:07
TJ-kthuno: Yes18:07
tkellerah......thanks, TJ.   Bt the WAY THOSE AR ME REAL INITIALS, I went by TJ for about 13 years18:07
johndoe__Hi, I think I read about the possibility to know power consumption on desktop with new hardware (haswell+), mainly because they already internally compute it for settings like automatic power limits. However, I don't remember which too allows that (best would be to read a text file without needing root, I would like to add this in a conky). I know i7z can do it, but I think there are kernel tools to provide it now.18:07
TJ-kthuno: or you can simply go to the file it is 'restoring' and edit that so you have a rule in it allowing your IP to connect over SSH18:07
kthunoTJ-: cool... lemme try reattaching and see if that will work18:07
motaka2TJ-: When I put the dvd inside sometimes the dvd drives opens up suddenly, is that a bad sign ?18:08

kthunoTJ-: I have checked out all the reference to the *.cfg files, and none have references to iptables18:15
Exagone313jeffy_poo: apt-get purge package instead of remove, then apt-get autoremove18:15
TJ-kthuno: what files are in /etc/network/interfaces.d/ ? maybe one of those has an additional iptables-restore entry?18:15
kthunoTJ-: let me check again18:15
motaka2ioria: E: unable  to fetch some archieves18:15
k1l_jeffy_poo: apt-get purge package. that will remove all the stuff that was created on install.18:15
johndoe__jeffy_poo, --purge ?18:15

kthunoTJ-: I am moron18:30
TJ-motaka2: from the Vista PC to this installer live boot you mean?18:30
TJ-kthuno: doh!18:30
motaka2TJ-: Yes18:30
kthunoTJ-: yeah doh! - never thought of this... but I guess the instance is dhcp and when I did a stop/start it might have changed ip18:31
TJ-ioria: when the problems happened previously we configured the Windows Vista PC to use PuTTY so that motaka2 had easier terminal control if the target was being rebooted repeatedly18:31
kthunoTJ-: sorry for the mess! I have a running SSH session now18:31

flux242hi, ive switched to ubu 15.10 have some strange problem that my usb drives are mounted to slow. Here's the pastebin http://pastebin.com/EzqhCad218:40
flux242it takes 11 seconds to mount a usb flash drive18:40
flux242is it normal with systemd or something isn't well configured (missing) on my side?18:41
salluhi all18:43
SchrodingersScathello18:43
sallui use rufus for making bootable ubuntu18:43
sallubut this i see this while making bootable ubuntu in usb >> this image only uses Syslinux 6.03/20150813 but this application only includes the installation files for syslinux 6.03/2014-10-06.18:44
OerHeksflux242, on chrome os ?18:44
TJ-flux242: it looks like udisks takes its time to do the mount, or else doesn't get the notification of the device add immediately18:44
salluAs new versions of Syslinux are not compatible with one another, and it wouldn't be possible for rufus to incluse them all, two additional files must be download from the internet ('Idlinux.sys' and 'Idlinux.bss'):18:44

ovrflw0xsallu, what to use then?18:45
k1l_sallu: no the OS you run rufus18:45
salluk1l_, its windows 10 64 bit18:45
ovrflw0xsallu, wtf to use if not netbeans?18:46
salluk1l_, i already made bootable usb of ubuntu 14 lts a week ago with rufus, it was successfull18:46
motaka2ioria: http://paste.ubuntu.com//1371603118:46
ovrflw0xsallu, ?18:47
flux242TJ-: well, i could take a look what's going on on the dbus18:47
salluovrflw0x, yeah the same . use eclipse , aptana studio18:47
k1l_sallu: yes, the 15.10 uses newer packages18:47
johndoe__sallu, if you goal is to have a usb stick running and rufus don't work well now, you may try "linux live usb creator"18:47
salluk1l_, what do you prefer for making usb bootable18:47
k1l_sallu: "dd"18:47
k1l_but that is a linux terminal command18:48
salludd is linux command for extractions18:48
k1l_no, not for extraction.18:48
salluhere we use xcopy source and target18:48
k1l_see "man dd" for what it does18:48
sallujohndoe__, so you use linux live usb creator?18:48
ioriamotaka2, what ubuntu iso have you downloaded ?18:49
sallujohndoe__, issue i am very much fond of rufus because it can make it bootable perfectly in uefi mode as well18:49
johndoe__sallu, I used it to make my last live usb of ubuntu 15.10: http://www.linuxliveusb.com/18:49
k1l_sallu: see if pendrivelinux works with 15.1018:50
motaka2ioria: the file name is ubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-i386.iso18:50
johndoe__sallu, it just says it has not yet parameters for 15.10 so it will use the ones from 15.04 and it works well for me.18:50
flux242are pm-utils now obsolete with the systemd? because I see that pm hooks aren't called at all when I'm switching from plugged to battery18:50
TJ-ioria: I've just booted the 14.04.3 i386 ISO in a VM guest, and it's asking me to for a Login - this is with a checked hash, so there could be something wrong with the image config18:50
ioriamotaka2, ^ TJ-18:51
sallujohndoe__, in the last message you used word it, you mean live usb creator18:51
motaka2ioria, TJ-: I dont understand these things18:51
johndoe__sallu, It works also in UEFI (both modes in fact, it is sometimes required to play a bit with bios parameters to boot in the correct mode). UEFI mode is however a bit more root than the legacy one (That help check which mode you are in)18:51
salluk1l_, yeah i made bootable usb drive from rufus, let see18:51
ioriamotaka2, do you have an icon on Desktop "install Ubuntu" ?18:52
motaka2ioria: Yes18:52
ioriamotaka2, so... try to install ...18:52
sallujohndoe__, the only option left is uefi here because windows 10 is already installed in the same pc with uefi native18:52
sallunot hybrid18:52
motaka2ioria: What would be the difference?18:52
ioriamotaka2, idk18:53
johndoe__sallu, I had the same issue, also needed both UEFI18:53
sallujohndoe__, so you didn't used rufus ?18:53
motaka2ioria: should I check download updates while installing18:53
motaka2?18:53
johndoe__sallu, "<sallu> johndoe__, in the last message you used word it, you mean live usb creator" I did not understood. "word"?18:54
k1l_sallu: try pendrivelinux.18:54
k1l_sallu: sorry, meant "unetbootin"18:54
sallujohndoe__, i installed ubuntu 14 lts last week along side windows 10 as dual boot in uefi mode18:54
johndoe__sallu, I did not knew about rufus's existence before today.18:54
salluk1l_, yeah unetbootin is old , i know that18:54
TJ-ioria: motaka2 I managed to kill my GUI session accidentially, so will be AWOL (in a tty now) whilst I sort it out18:55
sallujohndoe__, lol, many users are fan of rufus everywhere18:55
ioriamotaka2, no, well'do after18:55
motaka2TJ-: I dont even understand a single word of that18:55
motaka2ioria:  pressed on continu18:56
ioriaTJ- ^_^18:56
johndoe__sallu, I'll have to check it so ;)18:56
ioriamotaka2, yep18:56
sallujohndoe__, ubuntu 14.0..LTS installed but i get only windows prebooted when i switch on pc, i can run ubuntu by pressing f9 and then choose ubuntu from there18:56
motaka2ioria: should check earase disk and install ubuntu ?18:56
ioriamotaka2, yes18:56
motaka2ioria: I clicked install now18:57
ioriamotaka2, ok18:57
sallujohndoe__, i got solution that i have to manually give the boot path of ubuntu in BIOS option of  "Customized boot" feature.. that will do the job18:57
johndoe__sallu, so grub did not install the way you wanted?18:57
motaka2ioria: And I see that ????? dialog. do you want me to upload that ?18:57
ioriamotaka2, yes18:57
sallujohndoe__, no , grub didn't do as i wanted18:57
k1l_ioria: iirc he didnt want to erase the windwos18:57
ioriak1l_, i think he has no windows18:57
k1l_ioria: thats what i was confused about, too. but he didnt give a straight answer to that18:58
ioriak1l_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13715109/18:58
sallujohndoe__, may be because HP hard coded the boot path to something different for their newer pcs, i no longer wonder why these companies don't follow casually the criteria18:58
ioriak1l_, right18:58
sallujohndoe__, so you ready to experience with me this newer method of installing ubuntu 15.1018:59
johndoe__sallu, For my last install I have distinct hard drives for the OS, So I installed Windows with it's loader on one, changed the bios boot option and install Ubuntu in the second paying attention to install grub where I needed it.18:59
sallujohndoe__, i am about to install ubuntu 15.10 in few minutes lolx18:59
sallujohndoe__, you used uefi native ?19:00
motaka2ioria: Waiting to upload19:00
ioriamotaka2, ok19:00
johndoe__sallu, I guess19:00
k1l_ioria: ah yes, from last weeks i recall that it was a hell of a mess anyways19:00
ioriak1l_,  é_é19:00
sallujohndoe__, when i bought Hp probook 450 g2 laptop, i formatted the whole hardisk with new partition table GPT .. and then made 3 partitions for windows and 3 for linux, first i installed windows 10 in uefi19:01
motaka2ioria: still waiting ...19:03
ioriamotaka2, btw,  if you can select 'try ubuntu' it means  that you get the Main Menu... so you can check the Disk Integrity....19:03
sallujohndoe__, and then i installed ubuntu , i always use rufus , in rufus i clearly have option for gpt and all that19:03
sallujohndoe__, in uefi usb is always deteced in fat32 ... thats the criteria i know19:03
motaka2ioria: how can Icheck it's integrity ?19:04
jak2000hi19:04
TJ-motaka2: do you get that ???? dialog when choosing "Try Ubuntu without installing" ?19:04
sallujohndoe__, so i am ready to reboot and install ubuntu ......be ready. i will be log on to hex chat from ubuntu in 10 minutes i guess19:04
jak2000bash question: http://pastie.org/10611810   <--- only generate 1 file (in dbs.txt i have 6 lines with valid Dbnames) the file generated(with last db is: "2015_12_05_13_57_32"  i want: db1_2015_12_05_13_57_32  and db2_2015_12_05_13_57_32 and so on...  wich is wrong in my script?19:04
ioriamotaka2, as i said, from the Main menu ... right after it boots19:04
motaka2TJ-: no, I get that when trying to install ubuntu19:04
ioriaTJ-  he's uploading the screen19:05
TJ-motaka2: OK, I'm trying to reproduce the issue here. So, from boot do you press any key when the small keyboard icon is displayed at the bottom-center of the monitor?19:06
motaka2TJ-: Yeah19:07
TJ-motaka2: so you then select a language? Is that English?19:07
motaka2TJ-: Yes19:07
ioriamotaka2, the installation is in progress ?19:08
jak2000TJ- any advice?19:08
TJ-motaka2: OK, so then you get a text menu with 5 entries, and a series of Fx hot-key tips along the bottom of the monitor19:08
motaka2ioria, TJ-: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tliqlibtlu72n22/IMG_20151205_223000.jpg?dl=019:09
motaka2TJ-: Yes19:09
motaka2ioria: Yes19:09
ioriamotaka2, good, go ahead19:09
TJ-motaka2: just as a note for you. That's the menu where you can check the image using the "Check disc for defects" option19:10
k1l_motaka2: seems like it cant handle your location settings for iran. (maybe trying to display in local language there and missing the compatibility)19:10
motaka2TJ-: ok lemme restart so I can get rid of the try ubuntu without install desktop19:10
ioriamotaka2, no,...19:10
motaka2ioria: so what should I do ?19:11
=== darkdevil is now known as DarkDevil
ioriamotaka2, do as you wish... but wait and see....19:11
TJ-motaka2: no, that display you have is trying to use the Persian character set due to it detecting your locale, but it seems the ISO doesn't contain the correct files for that19:11
motaka2:( i dont get you19:12
motaka2TJ-: both the live DVD and USB have the same proble? while I bought the live DVD19:12
ioriamotaka2, maybe is something you can fix later..19:13
motaka2ioria: I am going crazy19:13
ioria^_^19:13
TJ-motaka2: Yes, I'd expect that if the ISO images don't have the language support. I'm trying to reproduce that here, now. I'd suggest you click OK then change your location to the United Kingdom for now, then change it back to Iran once the system is installed and booted.19:13
motaka2ioria: I ran check for disk defects19:13
ioriamotaka2, as you like19:14
motaka2TJ-: changing the location doesnt work as soon as I press ok on ??????? i return back to the previous page19:14
TJ-motaka2: really?! OK, then what you need to do I think is start the installer in the "Try Ubuntu ..." mode so you can 'fake' the location before the installer starts. The system is guessing Iran from either the hardware clock setting, or by querying the network. It might actually work if you leave the network disconnected until after that step :)19:16
motaka2ioria: Check finished no errors found19:17
ioriamotaka2, good19:17
motaka2TJ-: It gave me the same error with network disconnected19:17
ioriamotaka2, that's weird19:18
ioriamotaka2, how can it know where you are ?19:19
ioriamotaka2, keyboard settind maybe ?19:19
TJ-motaka2: OK, so it is guessing the location from the timezone or local time19:19
iorianope19:19
TJ-ioria: it's an intriguing question19:20
ioriaTJ- call MI619:20
motaka2TJ-, ioria: should I now go to try ubuntu without installation again ?19:20
TJ-no such organisation :) It's the Secret Service... and my guess is they won't tell :p19:20
ioriamotaka2, yep, why not ?19:21
motaka2ioria: ok19:21
ioriaTJ-  i'll check that.... :)19:21
TJ-ioria: I've got a UK keyboard, but (after dismissing the splash screen) I see the "Install" mode running "Generating locales  .. en_US.UTF-8"19:21
ioriaTJ-  it's default, i think19:22
TJ-motaka2: what's your Iranian 2-letter language code? I can try it in the VM19:23
motaka2TJ-: I think it is FA19:23
TJ-motaka2: that's the one... Farsi!19:24
motaka2TJ-: Yupe19:24
ioriamotaka2, install all in en_US , including Zone .. (except the keyboard)  we'll change that later19:25
motaka2TJ-, ioria: I dont see the desktop but just a cursor,19:26
motaka2ioria: it doesnt ask me19:27
ioriamotaka2, it was working before ....19:27
motaka2ioria: Yes19:27
ioriamotaka2, i told you to not stop... :þ19:27
motaka2ioria: :)19:28
ioriamotaka2, you need to reboot19:28
ioriamotaka2, wait a bit, maybe19:28
TJ-ioria: that's correct; it doesn't ask, aside from the language. And I can't find a persion keyboard package, only the language (translation) pack19:28
motaka2ioria: I reboted, but tried install ubuntu this time19:28
ioriaTJ- no persian keyboard package ?19:29
ioriamotaka2, 'try without install'19:29
motaka2ioria: ok19:30
motaka2I reboot19:30
motaka2TJ-, ioria: I disconnected the internet and in Where are you page it shows me newyourk and I have not selected anything other than english anywhere and again I see ?????? dialog box19:32
ioriamotaka2, keyboard ? how did you set it ?19:32
motaka2ioria: english19:33
ioriamotaka2, ok, go ahead19:33
motaka2ioria: to where?19:33
ioriamotaka2, install19:33
motaka2ioria: I cant it return back to the previous oage19:35
motaka2ioria: dont you read what I am typing19:35
ioriamotaka2, which page ?19:35
akikit's strange that the ubuntu install asks for the keyboard during install but it sets the locale according to those settings too. i prefer en_US and i get fi_FI19:35
motaka2ioria: the page I sent you the image19:35
MonkeyDustakik  yes, i had that too, had to set it manually after install19:36
ioriamotaka2, click ok ?19:36
motaka2ioria: by the time I click ok I get one step back to earse disk and install ubuntu and then this happens like a loop19:36

motaka2ioria: no, maybe I had misunderstood19:37
ioriamotaka2, so you're stuck at that step ?19:38
akikAnthaas: you can find out the list of files if you recompile php7 and use checkinstall after that19:38

motaka2TJ-: I dont know, I could type both english and persian with it19:48
ioriamotaka2, did you do something in your bios ?19:48
TJ-motaka2: the reason I ask is that the keyboards can sometimes be autodetected by querying them, and that is where the location info is likely being deduced from.19:48
TJ-motaka2: however, your Ask Ubuntu discovery is very interesting there19:48
TJ-motaka2: I can create a similar config here and test that, but I have to do to dinner first.19:50

TJ-motaka2: ioria isn't the current shell in a separate VT tty, not a GUI terminal ?20:15
ioriaTJ-  he should be in gui, now20:15
motaka2I will kill myself, my laptop is so slow20:16
TJ-motaka2: earlier today you said there is/was Windows on this PC20:16
motaka2TJ-: Yes there was20:16
TJ-motaka2: when 'was' that - when Ubuntu 12.04 was still booting correctly?20:17
TJ-motaka2: because right now there doesn't look to be any space for a Windows install unless its in /dev/sda1, which is where I thought the broken Ubuntu 12.04/14.04 install is20:17
motaka2TJ-: yes20:17

motaka2TJ-: cause once I tried something else when installing. maybe that has earased everythoing20:18
motaka2TJ-: booting ...20:18
TJ-motaka2: ahhhh! OK, I just want to be sure we're not going to wipe out a Windows installation you expect to be there20:19
TJ-motaka2: I know, it can be slow, it is slow in the VM guest here too at times20:19
motaka2TJ-: I dont want that windows or anything elese on this hard drive20:19
suprkainis there another way to access files on a separate windows computer besides samba?20:19
TJ-motaka2: great. we can wipe the fakeRAID meta-data and the MBR and start fresh then20:19
motaka2TJ ioriaI see the window of sudo gparted20:20
motaka2you need a photo ?20:20
TJ-motaka2: you've started the ISO in the "Truy Ubuntu ...2 mode?20:20
SchrodingersScatsuprkain: install a ubuntu vm and share the drive to the vm, install openssh-server/etc. on ubuntu vm20:20

ioriamotaka2, you have more tyhen 3G and a 64bit dual core cpu.... should be a bolt ...20:21
TJ-motaka2: are you running the installer from the DVD ?20:21

grnadaUsaI got a problem with running "apt-get update/upgrade/dist-upgrade and then a reboot" when I do this in 14.04 LTS it breaks my network settings and I have to plug my ethernet cord into my second nic to get back online... The only problem is i got about 100 of these servers that I need to update and I need them to survive the update without having to keep fixing the settings. Apparently before the update it switches network20:26
grnadaUsasettings from em1 to em2 and em2 to em1. any ideas?20:26
grnadaUsaI even went as far as doing20:27
grnadaUsaexport INTERFACE=em120:27
grnadaUsaexport MATCHADDR="ip addr show $INTERFACE | grep ether | awk '{print $2}'"20:27
grnadaUsa /lib/udev/write_net_rules20:27
grnadaUsawhich will write /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules20:27
grnadaUsathinking that now the interface names are now persistent, i do the upgrade, and reboot but it doesnt come back up20:28
grnadaUsawhen i swap the cable to the other nic, sure enough it comes back up20:28

ioriaanew, display not set ?20:30
anewX11Forwarding yes this is set... what do you mean display not set ?20:30
TJ-grnadaUsa: are they using biosdevname then (em1 suggests it) ?20:30
ioriaanew, sometimes you need to export the display ... which is the exact error ?20:31
anewError: cannot open display: 127.0.0.1:10.020:31

ioriaanew, export DISPLAY=ip:0.020:32
anewyeah i did that also20:32
anewip = 127.0.0.1 ?20:32
ioriaanew,no20:32
ioriaanew, the ip ubuntu machine20:33
anewoh20:33
anewlet me do that20:33
TJ-motaka2: OK, do "sudo apt-get install dmraid"20:33
ioriaanew, or the host one... idr20:33
motaka2TJ-: done20:34
TJ-motaka2: once that's done, do "sudo dmraid --erase_metadata /dev/sda"20:34
ioriaanew, i'd start it  with Xlauch , anyway20:34
anewError: cannot open display: ip:0.020:35
motaka2TJ-: option missing20:35
TJ-motaka2: hang on let me check on a 14.04 system20:35
anewioria i used the ubuntu ip20:35
motaka2TJ-: ok20:35
ioriaanew, try with the win ip machine20:36
anewmy home ip ?20:36
ioriaanew, try also ip:1.020:36
TJ-motaka2: try "sudo dmraid -E /dev/sda"20:36
motaka2TJ-: same error20:37
ioriamotaka2, why don't you just remove those partitions ?20:37
anewno.... i get cannot open display for everything20:37
motaka2ioria: All is in your hands if you say I will do that20:38
TJ-ioria: they don't matter; we need to remove the entire metadata then those will go20:38
TJ-motaka2: ok, we need to tell it the fakeraid name, not the raw device name20:38
TJ-motaka2: try "sudo dmraid -E /dev/mapper/nvidia_afeicaag"20:38
motaka2TJ-: the same20:39
anewanyone20:40
anewthis is a brand new ubuntu install20:40
bekksanew: and you are doing what exactly?20:40
TJ-motaka2: it looks like dmraid may not have brought up that device, hang on.20:40
grnadaUsaTJ-, i think biosdevname is swapping em1 and em2, is there any way to keep em1's and em2's mac addresses persistent?20:41
anewbekks, i installed xming on my windows home machine, i start putty with xforwading enabled, i do the command export DISPLAY=ip:0, then firefox & and it says 'error cannot open display'20:41
TJ-motaka2: try disabling the array with "sudo dmraid -an"20:41
bekksanew: you do export DISPLAY=ip:0; firefox & where?20:42
anewon the ubuntu20:42
bekksAnd IP is which one?20:42
anewip is the ubuntu ip ( i tried my home ip and 127.0.0.1 also)20:42
bekksanew: then why did you install xming? :)20:43
motaka2TJ-: done20:43
=== cpaelzer is now known as cpaelzer_afk
anewxming is on my home windows20:43
bekksanew: and how is that related to your issue?20:43
anewi dont know20:43
anew:S20:43
TJ-motaka2: OK, now do "ls /dev/mapper/" do you see the nvidia* device nodes now?20:44
bekksanew: where do you want the firefox window to be running?20:44
anewbekks,  on my home pc20:44
anewhome pc = windows... ubuntu = remote20:44
bekksanew: then why are you using the IP of your ubuntu for the export command?20:44
aneweh dunno, i tried my home ip also that didnt work either...20:44
motaka2TJ-: constrol nvidea_afeciage nvidia_afeiciage220:44
anewexport DISPLAY=homeip:020:45
bekksanew: "home ip" - how do you connect to the internet?20:45
anewwith my modem ?20:45
bekksanew: so "homeip" is your public ISP IP?20:45
anewerrr20:45
anewi guess? what should i be using there ?20:46
auronandaceyou'd need port forwarding set up from your router20:46
anewdamn how the hell do i do that20:47
bekksanew: in the settings of your router.20:47
anewwont that be a security issue ?20:47
bekksanew: of course.20:47
anewso then i shouldnt do it ...20:48
bekksanew: correct.20:48
anewdamn... so what the heck should i do20:48
anewhow can i see the gui on my remote ubuntu20:48
bekksanew: Dont use firefox on your remote ubuntu.20:48
anew...20:48
anewnot an option20:48
bekksIndeed, a gui on a server is no option. What do you need it for?20:48
anewso all these tutorials with xming and putty i see online are port forwarding?20:49
bekksanew: No. But for your particular setup, you need port forwarding.20:49
anewdamnit20:50
anewok so before i refund what i bought... the only way to see a gui on this thing is to port forward20:50
anewand port forwarding is a security flaw20:50
TJ-motaka2: OK, it looks like that fakeRAID isn't being driven by the dmraid device, but possibly by the mdraid. There was a point where ubuntu switched over from 1 to the other for some of these fake-RAIDs but I forget when that was.20:50
MonkeyDustanew  if you manage to do it, put it online as a tutorial for others20:50
bekksanew: What do you need a gui for, on your server?20:50
ioriaanew, ok... you need to check 'No Access Control' in XLaunch20:50
motaka2TJ-: so ?20:51
anewioria no access control will allow me to not port forward20:51
bekksanew: No.20:51
anewok20:51
bekksanew: What do you need a gui for, on your server?20:51
anewso time to return this and get a windows server20:51
bekksanew: Time to answer questions.20:52
anewbekks i need it to run javascript in a browser remotely20:52
bekksanew: Why cant you run it at home?20:52
anewbecause i need to run it remotely20:52
bekksWhy?20:52
ioriaanew, so, i set 1 in Display number , check No Access Control   and then export DISPLAY=winip:1.020:52
anewdoes that matter?  i need to run it remotely20:52
bekksioria: We've gone through all that already.20:52
anewioria and that worked?20:53
ioriaanew, yep20:53
anewwow ok let me try20:53
ioriabekks i didn't know ....20:53
anewioria that worked without port forwarding?20:53
TJ-motaka2: OK, i'm 100% sure it should be dmraid, so lets try "sudo dmraid -E -r /dev/sda" to erase the metadata20:53
ioriaanew, i don't use that....20:53
anewioria where do you check 'no access control' in putty ?20:54
auronandaceanew: if your router isn't set up to do port forwarding then how is your remote ubuntu server going to find your windows pc (hint: it won't)20:54
ioriaanew, not in putty---- in XLaunch  ... is part of XMing20:54
motaka2TJ-: do you really want to erase nvidia .... ?20:55
anewno didnt work 'cannot open display'20:56
TJ-motaka2: YES!!!!!20:56
TJ-motaka2: Earlier, I was missing the "-r" option like an idiot20:56
motaka2TJ-: :) done20:57
anewioria "set 1 in display number' where did u do that20:57
anewor do you mean in the comman line20:57
auronandaceanew: if you want something that doesn't involve port forwarding then you could use teamviewer at both ends20:57
ioriaanew, no, in XLaunch ... don't you have it ?20:57
anewyes i do20:57
anewah i see here20:57
anewlet me try again20:57
=== Wanderer is now known as Wanderer34
TJ-motaka2: OK, now let's force the kernel to re-read the disk: "echo 1 | sudo dd of=/sys/block/sda/device/rescan"20:57

Wanderer34Please someone help because i cannot do without it20:58
TJ-motaka2: in theory now, the kernel should treat the disk like it was just connected, and no longer see the nvidia fake RAID device20:58
anewno20:58
anewcannot open display20:58
anewi will refund what i bought20:58
anewthanks20:58
TJ-motaka2: do "ls /dev/mapper" and see if those nvidia* nodes have now gone20:59
motaka2TJ-: done21:00
motaka2TJ-: no they are there21:00
anewso i dont understand what all these tutorials are doing online then21:01
anewif they arent using port forwarding what are they doing21:01
TJ-motaka2: that might be due to having gparted still running. If it is, close it.21:01
motaka2TJ-: It was closed21:01
TJ-motaka2: I'm trying to avoid recommending you reboot again since it takes so long21:02
motaka2TJ-: if you say I will do that21:02
TJ-motaka2: Let's make sure the fake raid has gone as far as dmraid is concerned, first, else we'll be wasting yet more time21:03
motaka2TJ-: ok21:04

TJ-k1l_: according to the manifest, and an installed system, just systemd-services and systemd-shim21:08
TJ-motaka2: That is VERY GOOD news, it means the metadata has truly gone. So, now let's wipe the existing partition table too so when you reboot the installer sees an 'empty' (unallocated) disk21:09
TJ-motaka2: "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1"21:09
motaka2TJ-: done21:10
TJ-motaka2: also, now we seem to have identified why you got those weird dialogs, you might speed things up by rebooting and using that USB image of 14.04.3 instead of the DVD - worth a try at least21:11
thierryhi21:11
TJ-motaka2: you can reboot whenever you want, now, the disk is effectively blank as far as the metadata/partition table is concerned21:11
truexfan81ops don't panic and ban me lol i'm about to switch to my bot account to regain the nick, for some reason my bot failed to identify21:11
motaka2TJ-: and then I chose install ubuntu ?21:12
TJ-motaka2: I'd choose "Try Ubuntu..." simply because you have more control if things don't go as expected21:13
TJ-motaka2: then you can start the installer from the GUI's desktop21:13
motaka2TJ-: ok21:13

=== Jadzia is now known as truexfan81
thierryyeah21:14
thierrywhat I mean is that its a usb sound input device21:14
thierryso it by default chooses the analogue input by default21:15
TJ-thierry: right; the usual solution is to change the device's ALSA sound device index in the kernel drivers, via /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf21:15
TJ-thierry: oh, so not the device itself you want to change, but the input source?21:16
thierryI mean  that I'm trying to change the default device to this usb device so I can record with it21:16
thierrybecause it detects both devices but chooses the analogue input by default21:17
thierryi want the usb device to be the default for as long as its plugged in21:18
thierry(when I mean both devices I mean the internal mic/plugged in mic over the usb input device21:19
TJ-thierry: that sounds like something the application needs to do. The Pulseaudio control or 'mixer' can set those21:20

k1l_YamakasY: depends on what you install21:23

thierryI think I figured it out :/ you were right21:23
thierryI had to run my recording application, and manually switch to it using the mixer21:23
thierryI usually only do that for recording videos21:24
motaka2TJ-: :)21:24

thierrynow I have another problem xD21:25
TJ-motaka2: nor do I as yet, I can only guess that whilst the installer was showing you the "Where are you" page it was, in the background, scanning the disk... had a problem understanding the disk layout, tried to tell you, but for some reason the dialog box messages are not there21:25
YamakasYBashing-om: yeah it was here like that, dunno what's going on21:26
YamakasYBashing-om: just a 14.04 install with apache/php or mysql only21:26

thierrymy last problem is to do21:27
thierrywhoops pressed enter before I finished xD21:27
motaka2TJ-: :D you did really a lot in last weeks for me. People were mostely frowning to me.21:27
TJ-YamakasY: is the system public-facing? could it be compromised and be used to store some files you're not aware of?21:27
motaka2TJ-: Thanks again21:27
YamakasYTJ-: heh than 200 system would have been, nope not that21:28
TJ-motaka2: you're welcome, I hope you become a bit of an expert in ubuntu yourself now :D21:28
Bashing-omYamakasY: Depends on how much disk space those apps need . you want to keep the usage under 90 % ( file fragmentation ) .21:28
YamakasYTJ-: I also see these are a little bit behind comparing to my other systems with kernels, they don't upgrade to newer ones too21:28
thierryI've used ubuntu for around 4/5 years now and I still cant get my head round some problems21:28
k1l_YamakasY: see program "dpigs" to see what takes the space21:29
TJ-YamakasY: running out of space due to not clearing out old kernel/initrd.img maybe?21:29
YamakasYBashing-om: yes I know21:29
TJ-YamakasY: /var/cache contains lots of files for various programs; might be wort doing "sudo du -hs /var/cache" to check usage there21:29
YamakasYTJ-: nope, that's already fixed there was a puppet bug there, nah actually an apt one21:30
TJ-YamakasY: OK, well use 'du' to find out where all the space is being used21:30
Bashing-omYamakasY: My favorite to "see" what is going on ' df -h ; cd / ; sudo du -sx * | sort -n ' .21:31
motaka2TJ-: Yupe thanks to your help I intrested21:31
thierrymy next problem sorta is to do with ubuntu, but could be to do with the software itself. simply, I open this program once, and it works, but if I close it, and open it back up, it doesnt open back up even if I made sure previous processes werent running21:31
TJ-YamakasY: I generally use "du -d 1 / | sort -n"21:31
k1l_<k1l_> YamakasY: see program "dpigs" to see what takes the space21:31
motaka2TJ-: It restarted and now I see a black page. should I get the DVD out of the tray ?21:31
TJ-motaka2: by restarted, you mean rebooted using the USB installer ?21:32
YamakasYk1l_: only kernels using space21:32
k1l_YamakasY: did you use it?21:32
motaka2TJ-: No I was wrong it was just sleeping21:32

Finetunrda_ Good afternoon folks. I require some assistance. I need to setup a netgear ma101 wireless adapter on a computer that has no internet access. Any thoughts? I know the driver is at76_usb. Does anyone know how I should go about this?22:02

sudo3hi, any idea how to add some code to image or on webpage to check how many times image was viewed?22:15
SchrodingersScatsudo3: not a #ubuntu question, but maybe php can iterate a number in a file, or if you have logs you could parse logs.22:17
sudo3hm, so if i have uploaded image i can check in logs how many times it was viewed? sorry but couldnt find such log. i know somehow its possible with htaccess22:17
sudo3no soryr, not htaccess. my bad22:18
imthenachomanhey guys. having a strange issue. my ubuntu install is randomly freezing. complete system freeze. i can22:18
SchrodingersScatsudo3: check in /var/log/ then whatever webserver you're using22:18
imthenachomanhey guys. having a strange issue. my ubuntu install is randomly freezing. complete system freeze. i can't even SSH to it and keyboard inputs won't respond. it's random. is there anyway to see the last thing the machine was doing before it froze?22:18
k1limthenachoman: see in /var/log/syslog.0 or syslog.1 at the end22:19
imthenachomank1l: there is no syslog.0 and syslog.1 stops way before the crash. looks like syslog has info. checking it22:21
sudo3to be honest i wanted to add that image to emails to check how many people opened mails. My dude told me i can check it somewhere in linux log but forgotten the name of file. Anyway I checked that file and couldn't see any statistics there. Never worked with it before.22:22
MWM_Ive been using teamviewer to work on my homeserver (headless) and I borked teamviewer so now I can get it.  I can still see my samba shares, but I can get in with ssh either (connection refused) is there another way?22:26
MWM_*cant22:26
SchrodingersScatsudo3: if you used apache2 for instance, then /var/log/apache2/access.log will have the latest logs of things that were webserved by you.  Otherwise you'd need to find a system for doing what you want.22:28
limpi am on ubuntu version 14 with kernel 3.13.0-32-generic22:28
limpmy problem is my right mouse button doesn't work22:28
limpwhen i do lsusb i see it as logitech , Inc M90/M100 Optical mouse22:29
limp...etc22:29
limphow do i fix this i don't see anything in x11 that would control or be screwing with this not functioning22:30
sudo3thanks mate thats good;]22:30
MWM_alternative to ssh?22:31
limpdo i need a different driver program then what is built in to linux because i can show you what modprobe info and lsmod gives me for the kernal modules for the mouse if any22:31
limpnot sure if i have the cd for the mouse for getting the drivers from and not even sure if the cd has the linux drivers or just the drivers in microsoft form22:32
MWM_limp: have you done the regular trouble shooting?  tried another mouse?  uninstalled adn reinstalled?22:34
limpthere is a psmouse driver in the lsmod but i don't think that is it because this is usb based22:34
TJ-limp: does the right mouse button work with any other PC/OS ?22:36
limpwould it be usbhid or under some other kernel module name22:36
limpthe right is not the problem it is the left that is the problem22:36
MWM_I would unplug the non working mouse, then plug in another to test.  sudo apt-get update.  then switch back to your other mouse and update again.  After that id be here asking the same questions :)22:36
TJ-22:28:58             limp | my problem is my right mouse button doesn't work22:36
limponly on ubuntu 14 version i am on22:36
limpO sorry i made a mistake i meant left mouse button22:37
TJ-limp: OK... lets start again... can you test it on another PC/OS to ensure this isn't a hardware issue?22:37
limpit is a mouse that has a wheel  and the wheel and left button works22:37
TJ-you mean the right button works?22:38
* inteus facepalm22:38
limpyes it works on a different machine22:38
limpno it is the left mouse button22:38
TJ-limp: does it work on another PC with Ubuntu, or with Windows?22:38
limpi mean all buttons work on another computer22:38
limpwindows22:39
limpand i have used it with older version of ubuntu fine22:39
TJ-limp: OK, lets see what we can find22:39
limphttp://pastebin.com/wqVizWt5 where would the mouse driver be22:41
limpits not the psmouse is it22:41
TJ-limp: many of the comments here, some specific to 14.04, seem to point to the cause and some workarounds: http://superuser.com/questions/72112/mouse-clicks-suddenly-stopped-working-in-ubuntu22:42
limpok i will look into your link curious though what kernal module is for the usb mouse i see only psmouse which is for ps/2 old mouses22:44
limpin the lsmod i gave you where is it is it part of some usbhid kernel module or something builtin how can you tell what driver is for what devices?22:45
Bashing-omlimp: " < limp> i am on ubuntu version 14 with kernel 3.13.0-32-generic22:45
TJ-limp: generally the mouse will be using usbhid module22:46
Bashing-omlimp: opps . / need to get ya updated . current kernel is " 3.13.0-71-generic ' .22:46
limpBashing-om did you see my lsmod post i am looking to find what driver controls the mouse or in general away to determine what module is used for what or what driver program/process is used for what but just going by the names it makes it difficult some times... is there an easier way22:47
Bashing-omlimp: Follow TJ- 's advise  here on modules . I will follow his lead in this respect .22:48
limpbasically the general question is given a device say gotton from lshw lsusb lspci ,..etc or just by looking at your computer peripherials actually figure out what program/process or module is its driver program for the hardware22:49
TJ-limp: do a test in a terminal; "xev" (X events) then in the window that appears press and release the left mouse button - does the terminal show ButtonPress ButtonRelease events22:50
AsoSakoCan anyone help me with Launchpad 2FA it didn't let me register a device yet it now asks for a Verification code.22:50
limpI am have trouble with this since if i can find the module or process then i can look into it and maybe understand why this particular driver doesn't support these options and know where to go to hunt one down22:50
limpyes i get a ton of propertynotify events22:51
TJ-limp: right, but those are probably due to movement. keep the mouse still, and press/release the left button, do you see ButtonPress/ButtonRelease events for button 122:52
limpbut after that i try to click it again any of the buttons and they don't display any more events but  right button still works22:52
TJ-limp: this is the kind of thing to expect, per mouse click: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13724678/22:53
TJ-limp: notice there, the "button 1" - that's the left button. "button 3" is usually the right button22:53
limpno i get the mouse moved events and the right mouse button pressed events like yours but nothing for the left button at all no error or anything when i press or even hold22:55
limpfor me right click is button 322:56
limpfor me right click is button 322:57
=== mb is now known as Guest46174
limpand button 2 is when i click on the wheel in the middle of the mouse22:58
limpand when i click and scroll the middle of the mouse i get buttons 4 and 5 events22:59
limpbut no button 1 which i would imagine would be the number for left22:59
TJ-limp: good, OK, so we know its there. Now "sudo apt-get install evtest"22:59
limpwhat is that for23:00
TJ-limp: and also "pastebinit <( ls -l /dev/input/by-path/* )" please23:00
TJ-limp: diagnostic testing of the device itself23:00
limpok you mean the symlinks  http://pastebin.com/Lc1gV76T23:02
TJ-limp: so it looks like it'll be on /dev/input/event2 or /dev/input/event7. Use "sudo evtest /dev/input/eventX" on each in turn and see if either respond for that mouse, so we know which eventX it is on, and then also whether you see any events when the left button is pressed23:04
TJ-limp: for button-down events you'd expect something like this: "Event: time 1449356683.926986, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 272 (BTN_LEFT), value 1" <--- value 1 for press and 0 for release23:05
limpok apt-cache tells me evtest is a monitor linux input device events23:06
limpok when i run the evtest i get event2 like you said being logitech usb optical mouse23:07
limpwhat is select a device number going to do23:08
TJ-limp: if you see no events for the left mouse button with evtest, then there's a hardware problem, most likely with the USB port. so first thing is try a USB port in a different location if there is one (e.g. on a Desktop if it is using a front USB port, try it in a rear port). This kind of issue is often caused by damaged cables connecting the ports to the motherboard. It can also affect laptops where23:08
TJ-physical stress has damaged the solder connections.23:08
limpno i don't have event left button at all23:11
TJ-limp: that confirms there's a hardware issue then. As you found it works on another PC, I'd suspect the USB port23:11
TJ-limp: do you have multiple mouse devices connected? I'm seeing some suggestion that sometimes that can cause side-effects (e.g. USB and Bluetooth mice connected at the same time)23:16
limpnever mind i was mistaken now it doesn't work on any computer the left button so i am getting the same result so ya your right the mouse button is dead on the left i will give it a shot in opening it up and trying to fix but i probably will need another one thanks not a driver issue23:18
limpANd i have tryed different usb ports same result23:19
TJ-limp: probably some dirt of fluff23:19
limpit is optical so not like there is a wheel on the bottom to detect motion and pick up dirt23:19
TJ-limp: I mean in the button itself; you'd be amazed how much sweaty grime comes off your fingers and gets inside23:20
TJ-limp: sometimes they spring-action just stops working and the button sticks down23:20
limpo wait when i try click the left button while wiggling the wires or usb cable of the mouse i some times can get it to click on the left mouse button23:20
TJ-limp: i generally find opening the case and cleaning with a toothbrush helps keep them working23:21
TJ-limp: aha! nice detective work, so, needs a new cable then23:21
limpso it seems its more a loss or paritially broke wire  shouldn't be to bad to repair provide the wires aren't an f'er to splice into and resolder together or spade connect them together23:21
limpnice this problem was bugging me for a while now i am ok and feel good about if the wires are easy enough to splice into the repair will be pretty simple23:22
TJ-limp: just what I was about to say. if you can pin-point the fracture. Those USB wires often only have 5 or 7 strands or extremely thin wire, and break easily23:22
limpwell i don't think i will have a problem with a multimeter or continuty probe/test to pin point this my problem is if the wire type is to much of a pain to splice into or resolder up23:24
TJ-limp: It's not expensive to completely replace the cable, and just solder the correct header on the mouse end, usually a 0.1" header23:24
limpI can take a pin and push it in then uses alligator clips to my DMM or tester to read resistance or other things23:24
TJ-limp: if the break is close to the mouse end you can just shorten the cable a bit23:24
limpvery easy it is having after found the break actually splicing into it and resoldering or finding a way to reconnect it with out shorting out the other stuff i am hopeing they are rather seperated wire  insulated cables so i can be sure i am not going to cause more issues in cutting and reconnecting23:26
limpI not sure what the inside of a usb 3.0 cable looks like but some security camera cables make very difficult to splice back a connection so i am crossing my fingers when i open this up23:27
limpsome times the simplest things are the hardest23:27
limpyou know what i mean23:27
limpThanks man for the help23:27
limpO one more question is there any good way to know what process and modules that you can list with ps or lsmod corrospond to for your hardware of your computer... some times the names or even the modinfo of it isn't enough for me to determine exactly what hardware driver it is for23:29
limplike psmouse is pretty easy to understand but what is the driver for the usb mouse that i was checking with the x11 programs23:29
diaegouDI can't get VirtualBox to size up the "screen" to let me set settings.23:30
diaegouDAlso, should I direct this question somewhere else?23:30
k1ldiaegouD: install the "guest additions" inside the guest OS23:30
diaegouDCool. I did that.23:30
diaegouDStep 2?23:30
limpdoes psmouse only do ps/2 based mouses or do they do usb if it is usbhid then how do you differeniate what driver is used for the usb device23:31

k1ldiaegouD: it works now?23:36
diaegouDWell...23:36
diaegouDThe resolution's up, but I need to install again somehow.23:36
=== Fuchs is now known as tinywattz
limplsusb tells me what devices are on what usb hub or port , lspci tells me what devices are on  what pci slot , lshw tells me the hardware in the computer , lsmod tells me what kernel modules are in memory or in uses , modinfo tells me info on any particular module.... but what tells me what devices uses what process or module in driving it? I see no easy way to corolate this info23:37
TJ-limp: lshw23:37
diaegouDProbably it's got to do with that the Storage settings for the VM reverted back to "Empty."23:38
diaegouDSo I put it back to Desktop\etc. and now it says "Welcome. Install?"23:38
TJ-limp: provided you run it with superuser privileges, it'll report "configuration: driver=..." for those devices it can resolve correctly23:39
