Ender_Wigginyeah im over there thanks00:12
Ender_Wigginif anyone has suggestiongs, let me know please =300:12
TJ-samsamsam: Bashing-om "11 gigs not counted" - possible explanation: file-system has run out of inodes00:12
TJ-Ender_Wiggin: when/where do you see "networking disabled" ?00:13
samsamsam@Bashing-om I deleted a lot of files now. it shows /dev/sda5 82G   42G   36G  55% /. Still quite a few gigs unaccounted for.00:14
Bashing-omTJ-: Thenks, will mark that one down ! .. samsamsam : waht returns ' df -i ' ?00:14
TJ-samsamsam: Bashing-om also, in the 'du' output, there's "System Volume Information" directory, which suggests thats NTFS/FAT not a regular Linux FS00:14
samsamsam@Bashing-om /dev/sda5 5439488 491638 4947850   10% /00:15
Bashing-omsamsamsam: TJ- .. in that output is the 5% for 'root' accounted for ?00:16
samsamsam@Bashing-om http://pastebin.com/11h5PQAd00:16
TJ-Bashing-om: samsamsam the 'reserved space' is, if I recall correctly, accounted for in the 'df' reports, so the Avail/Used columns have adjusted for it00:17
TJ-samsamsam: what does "sudo blkid /dev/sda5" report ?00:18
txI need to blacklist a module from one device, but not another.00:18
txthey are exactly the same piece of hardware, so it needs to be done using PCI address.00:18
samsamsam@TJ- /dev/sda5: UUID="54bc01ff-f7ef-4f42-8f8f-2390714d2376" TYPE="ext4"00:18
TJ-tx: you'd need to disable the PCI device you don't want, first, else the modules probe() function will find and register it00:19
TJ-samsamsam: oh, surprising. I wonder why it has NTFS file-system structures on it00:19
txTJ-, I want to pass the device thru to a VM via VFIO00:19
TJ-samsamsam: but good, I was fearing it wasn't ext*00:20
txnvidia grabs on to it and marks the device as 'in use' so I can not unbind it.00:20
TJ-tx: modules don't have a facility to ignore selected devices, unfortunately.00:20
txhmm, I will attempt to kill X and see if I can unbind it then.00:21
txperhaps it will no longer be in use, but I doubt it.00:21
TJ-samsamsam: if you install the 'ncdu' package and run, from a terminal, "ncdu /home" you get an easy to navigate view of the file-system usage below that directory.00:21

SlidingHornEnder_Wiggin: someone asked you a question trying to help you...please scroll up00:25
txOoh, I wonder if I can leverage Optimus / Bumblebee to 'disable' the card00:25
Ender_Wigginahh crap thanks00:25
SlidingHornno problem...happens to the best of us :)00:26
Ender_WigginSlidingHorn you talkin bout someone sugestiong i goto ##networking?00:26
Ender_Wiggintrying on both channels =P00:26
SlidingHornEnder_Wiggin: also, just something that might help...give this script a try so that people can have more info on what you're working with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=370108    --   No, TJ- was asking when/where exactly you saw "networking disabled"00:27
TJ-tx: did you already try using the sysfs unbind interface?00:28
Graf_Z4hlformat c: doesn't work :(00:28
txyes00:28
Ender_Wigginah ty00:28
txTJ-, kernel complains that it's tainted and spews out a stacktrace00:28
TJ-tx: ahhh of course, you're using the proprietary driver?00:28
txI think I have a solution though, why don't I just load the nvidia module LATER, after I have stolen the card.00:28
txyes00:29
TJ-tx: yes, I was going to suggest that earlier. add the module to the standard blacklist, but have a script the modprobes later00:29
txyup00:29
txbut without any module for them, will I get no FB output?00:29
tx(noveau is also disabled)00:29
txor will it fall back to some primitive VESA output? :p00:30
TJ-you should be able to use a FB driver, maybe the vesafb00:30
TJ-tx: have you checked the nvidia driver parms in case it has one to control this ?00:30
txNot in detail, will do just now before I commit to this solution.00:30
TJ-tx: e.g: "modinfo -F parm nvidia-340"00:32
tx NVreg_AssignGpus="PCI_address" looks promising00:32
Ender_WigginSlidingHorn sadly i cannot run update because i have no internet connection00:32
TJ-tx: right, I'd check the HTML appendix for info00:32
txYup, checking it out on their site.00:32
OldDenverGeekhi, im on 1404, using Gnome Metacity and I don't see under Applications the Programming menu.. how do I get it in there?00:32
TJ-tx: the FAQ gives the example modprobe nvidia0 NVreg_AssignGpus="0:01:00.0,0:02:00.0"00:33
txIndeed.00:33
txcan I pass these on boot using grub?00:33
tx(in the cmdline option)00:33
txor do I need to specify in /etc/modules (or similar)00:34
TJ-tx: no, but you can set it in a /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-vtd.conf files with "options nvidia NVreg_AssignGpus="0:01:00.0,0:02:00.0" "00:35
TJ-tx: obviously, use the correct module-name in place of 'nvidia' there, to make it match00:35
txfabulous00:35
TJ-tx: I'd guess Nvidia added that specifically for supporting CUDA00:36
txI shall return with news.00:36
txWell, this is promising. Nvidia-settings no longer lists the device.00:39
txLet us try binding it to VFIO.00:39
txTJ-, Success! You are a gem.00:40
Gallomimiafor some reason my system doesn't have nvidia settings installed. it removed it.00:40
TJ-tx: glad you solved it; I used that once or twice with an external dual-GPU extension but had forgotten about it00:41

senatormeowxinput lists it as ELAN1000:00 04F3:040100:44
anabainTJ, yes00:45
anabainTJ-, yes00:45
TJ-anabain: have you used "ssh -vvv ..." to connect and get debug output00:45
anabainno, I'll try00:45
TJ-anabain: and, on the server, have you checked "/var/log/auth.log". You may need to increase the sshd log verbosity too00:46
SlidingHornOldDenverGeek: well, if you don't see anything under Applications > System Tools > Application Menu Editor, then you can always install alacarte, which will help you to do the job00:46
anabainok, TJ-00:47
TJ-anabain: you may want "LogLevel DEBUG3" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config for the testing00:49
anabainTJ-, that's from ssh -vvv    http://paste.ubuntu.com/13948650/00:54
OldDenverGeekSlidingHorn: I just checked and under  Applications > System Tools > there is no application menu editor..00:54
SlidingHornOldDenverGeek: ok...let's try installing alacarte then:     sudo apt-get install alacarte00:55
anabainTJ-, local is 15.10, remote 14.0400:55
OldDenverGeekSlidingHorn: already installed00:55
SlidingHornokay, then from your terminal:   alacarte00:56
SlidingHornOldDenverGeek: (from there, I'd also add alacarte, itself, to your menu, just so you don't have to get it from command line)00:57
TJ-anabain: it doesn't look like a ciphers issue. At least, the initial server key exchange is OK. lines 90-93 seem to indicate the server-side doesn't have the pub-key00:58
TJ-anabain: is the 'server' side user's home directory encrypted?00:58
OldDenverGeekSlidingHorn: so do I have to do a new item for alacarte? I want to add idle for python as well00:58
SlidingHornOldDenverGeek: from this point, you can create entries for whatever you'd like :)00:58
anabainTJ-, I don't think so, how can I check it?00:59
OldDenverGeekSlidingHorn: right on!! thanks!00:59
TJ-anabain: if on the system it has /home/.ecryptfs/$USER/ directory01:00
=== nya is now known as Guest4463
OldDenverGeeklater01:01
anabainTJ-, no, there's only the ordinary user's dir01:02
TJ-anabain: OK, and does the user's $HOME/.ssh/ directory have protective permissions?01:02
anabainTJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13948875/01:03
TJ-anabain: "ll -an $HOME/.ssh/" should start off something like "drwx------   2 1000 1000  4096 Dec  6 10:20 ./"01:03
TJ-anabain: and the public key that was copied should be found in "-rw-------   1 1000 1000   400 Mar  7  2013 authorized_keys"01:04
anabainTJ-, yes, I think that's ok01:04
TJ-anabain: you'll need to do what I recommended on the server, with increasing LogLevel and restarting the ssh service, then trying a connection and checking /var/log/auth.log01:06
anabainok01:06
anabainTJ-, I'm a stupid, this is the 'server's' .ssh dir: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13949024/01:11
TJ-anabain: right, so the sshd might be refusing to use it since access is available for group and others "drwxrwxrwx"01:12
TJ-anabain: on the server "chmod go-rwx $HOME/.ssh"01:12
anabainok01:12
TJ-anabain: then you should see that the .ssh/ directory has drwx------01:13
anabainyes, that's fine now. Do I need to restart the server?01:13
TJ-anabain: then you should do "chmod go-r $HOME/.ssh/*"01:13
TJ-anabain: no, restart shouldn't be needed; I'd expect the client to connect now01:14
anabainTJ-, no success, it keeps asking for the password01:15
TJ-anabain: OK, add the "LogLevel DEBUG3" to the server's /etc/shh/sshd_config, then restart the service ("sudo service ssh restart") and try again, then check the server's /var/log/auth.log01:16

TJ-anabain: line 195 "debug1: trying public key file /home/joan/.ssh/authorized_keys2"01:23

anabainwow01:33
TJ-anabain: but I'm tired, and that is the fallback after the real problem, which is still there staring us in the face! More permissions issues. see line 192! " Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for directory /home/joan"01:34
TJ-anabain: show us "ll -d /home/joan"01:35

anabaindrwxrwxrwx 164 joan joan 12288 des 10 22:49 /home/joan/01:36
TJ-anabain: 'll' is an alias set by bash01:36
anabainok01:37
TJ-anabain: there's your problem then, at some point you've changed the permissions. I have to wonder if you've done "chmod -R 777 /" at some point?01:37
anabainprobably, perhaps when reinstalling the system or whatever. Most probably yes, I did it. Mea culpa01:38
TJ-anabain: there may be other issues, but this should fix the ssh issue: "sudo chmod -R g-rw,o-rwx /home/joan"01:38
TJ-anabain: other applications or services may have other strange problems if those permissions changes have been done on other areas of the file-system01:39

TJ-Mneuro: I understand it depends on which model, and which driver on Linux02:04
LienRagSorry, I forgot how I did it, it wasn't very difficult IIRC, just get your exe package and follow the tutorial. But once again, Wine is really an inferior solution to VMs, it was useful before we had VM02:04

Viking667How do I get that layout to be changed to a normal keyboard, not a Natural keyboard?03:20

Viking667On the "Natural" layout, a `/~ key doesn't show03:21

ProbablyAndyi'm rather impressed.  i don't even use ubuntu, but i figured i'd stop by and see how things are in the old stomping grounds ( i used ubuntu quite a bit back in 2004ish, and hung out in here)05:03
Dumle29Heh, the funny  / sad thing, is that this is tons friendlier and better than windows livechat05:04
Dumle29which I've had to deal with once05:05
Dumle29because of a stupid dumb bug in windows05:05
Dumle29I was basically told a full 15 line paragraph on how they probably couldn't help me, but they were going to try if I kept writing. Before I asked anything.05:06
Dumle29Oh well, that's the off topic for me in here. I've heard they prefer that over in #ubuntu-offtopic :)05:06

JaxkrSo I am getting desperate. I have a Roccat Kone Pure mouse. Sensitivity options for this mouse do not show up in the system settings for Ubuntu. I tried making a script with "xset m 0 0" and then running it on startup, and it worked great! It disabled acceleration just like I needed it to. However, there was one small issue, when I suspended the computer and then woke it back up my acceleration was insane again.05:09
JaxkrWhat's the best way to disable mouse acceleration in a persistent way if you have an unsupported mouse?05:09
Dumle29hmm. you could hook it to a cronjob that runs at login05:09
Dumle29don't remember if there's an @ for that05:09
Jaxkrbut does a login cron run when waking from suspend?05:10
Dumle29hmm, don't thin so :/05:10
JaxkrYeah.05:10
staticsn0wguys i need some help :/05:10
ProbablyAndyit used to be that there were hooks in /etc/acpid, but that was a while ago.  there should be some kind of resume hook though05:11
slidinghornJaxkr: On my phone, so my google-fu isn't strong right now, but google how to execute/reinitialize something on wake up...give me like 30 min or so and ill be home05:11
Jaxkrhm, so crontab is the answer? Are you sure there isn't a conf file somewhere that controls x sensitivity.05:11
Jaxkrslidinghorn, thanks! I'll take a google.05:11
Jaxkrstaticsn0w, ask away.05:11
ProbablyAndyyou can't have the whole google05:11
ProbablyAndythat would be silly05:12
Jaxkrwathc me.05:12

georgewhitestaticsn0w: Try booting a Live disk and running Boot Repair05:13
staticsn0wok05:13
Jaxkrhave you tried pulling up your bios boot menu05:13
staticsn0wwhen i boot my pc it goes in to some psx boot rom or something like that05:14
georgewhitestaticsn0w: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair05:14
staticsn0wok thanks05:14
JaxkrSo I figured out how to run a script on startup, but I would rather change a config file than run xset a lot. Is there no better way to change mouse acceleration?05:14
staticsn0wfixed it!05:18
staticsn0wi just set my default boot options to UEFI instead of Legacy :P05:18
JaxkrYay!05:19
georgewhitestaticsn0w: good to know it’s fixed!05:19
staticsn0wnow i dont get grub, but it goes right in to ubuntu! which is VERY convenient for me :D05:19
JaxkrSo if anyone has a mouse solution that isn't a script let me know.05:19
Jaxkrstaticsn0w, grub just lets you pick your operating system. pretty simple. :)05:19
staticsn0wdont need it05:20
staticsn0wbut im very happy this works now05:20
=== pc_ is now known as Guest98300
staticsn0wi bricked my pc earlier because i coorrupted grub and ubuntu05:20
staticsn0wjust got a live usb today (which took me HOURS to make since i used wine on a mac)05:20
Jaxkrstaticsn0w, what.05:21
georgewhiteJaxkr: You could probably convert the command in the guide to a Xorg.d configuration file: http://askubuntu.com/questions/205676/how-to-change-mouse-speed-sensitivity05:21
Jaxkryou know you can make a boot usb on mac natively.05:21
staticsn0wi didnt have the admin pass for it by the way05:21
georgewhiteYeah. dd requires an admin account.05:22
staticsn0wso i had to find a workaround, which happened to be UNETbootin for win05:22
staticsn0w:P05:22
Jaxkryou can get admin on any mac really easy05:22
Jaxkrjust hold control s on bootup05:22
Jaxkrmount the drive05:22
staticsn0wdidnt feel like doing that05:22
staticsn0woh ok05:22
Jaxkrthen rm /var/db/.applesetupdone05:22
Jaxkrez admin.05:22
staticsn0wim gonna ask the guy who lended me this usb key if i can keep it for a backup lol05:23
georgewhiteJaxkr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MouseCustomizations follow this guide for configuring Xorg’s mouse setting05:23
georgewhiteJaxkr: and these are the settings that you want: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mouse_acceleration05:24
Jaxkroh yeah I tried this.05:24
JaxkrDo I have to create those files?05:24
JaxkrThey do not exist.05:24
georgewhiteJaxkr: yes05:25
georgewhiteThe last section says that ‘Mouse acceleration has changed dramatically in recent X server versions; using xset to disable acceleration doesn't work as it used to and is not recommended anymore.’05:25
georgewhiteJaxkr: so it’s probably best to follow the last section05:25
staticsn0wive got to retheme my pc now rofl05:26

Jack3k3so i messed up my system when trying to install nvidia drivers, now when Im at the login screen and login the screen flashes black and returns back to the login screen05:29
Jack3k3i think its because i removed nvidia-current and the noveau drivers so im trying to add them back but now I can't get my wireless adapter to connect from the CLI!!05:30
staticsn0wJack3k3 happened to me before, reinstall ubuntu05:30
ProbablyAndyJack3k3:  what does "grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log" show you ?05:30
Jack3k3No devices detected. Failed to load module "nv05:31
Jack3k3No devices detected. Failed to load module "nv" (module does not exist, 0). Failed to initialize GLX extension (compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)05:31
georgewhitestaticsn0w: I don’t think you need to do that! That’s a bit drastic!05:31
ProbablyAndyif you run "lsmod", is nvidia listed?05:31
staticsn0wguys, some of th default sources are giving 404s :(05:32
georgewhitestaticsn0w: What do you mean?05:32
georgewhitestaticsn0w: in apt?05:32
Jack3k3it is not listed, however nouveau is05:32
ProbablyAndyinteresting05:32
georgewhitestaticsn0w: It’s probably because you need to run apt-get update05:33
ProbablyAndyso if you do "sudo modprobe -r nouveau && modprobe nvidia"... what does it say?05:33
ProbablyAndyerm, sudo modprobe nvidia05:33
* ProbablyAndy is out of the sudo habit05:33
Jack3k3Well i ran those separately and for the nouveau one it said FATAL: module nouveau is in use05:34
Jack3k3while for the nvidia one it just returned without saying anything05:35
ProbablyAndyit sort of sounds like the xorg nvidia driver got installed, the kernel nvidia driver didn't, and nouveau is getting loaded anyway.05:35
georgewhiteJack3k3: If it returns nothing then that means the module was loaded successfully.05:35
ProbablyAndywhats the end of dmesg look like?05:35
ProbablyAndymaybe you just need to blacklist nouveau05:36
ProbablyAndyand then reboot05:36
ojiiis there a way to create a wifi hotspot (in 15.04) from the command line? the network manager "use as hotspot" button does nothing for me05:38
Bashing-om!nomodeset | Jack3k3 Maybe ? :05:39
ubottuJack3k3 Maybe ? :: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter05:39
Jack3k3ProbablyAndy, no luck, I checked lsmod, noveau is not there now, so i did mobprobe -r nvidia and tried logging in without luck05:39
Jack3k3additionally lsmod still does not list nvidia05:40
Abeojii: do you mean your router with hotspot? what are you trying can you be more specific?05:40
ProbablyAndyBashing-om: isn't the nomodeset thing before you get to X?05:41
staticsn0wthis iswhat i get when i run apt-get update: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13955517/05:41
Jack3k3yeah my login screen looks fine, its only once i login that it flashes and returns back to the login screen05:41

ojiiAbe, I want my ubuntu laptop to ask as an AP for my phone/other laptopt. it's connected to the internet via ethernet/pppoe05:41
ProbablyAndyJack3k3: ooh.  that is weird.  so Xorg runs....probably using nouveau.  But your window manager is crashing05:42
Jack3k3pretty much05:42

ProbablyAndywhich window manager?05:42
Jack3k3kdm05:42
ojiiAbe, "act as an", not ask. basically i want to be able to connect to the internet from my phone via my ubuntu laptop05:44
Abeojii: If you cannot open the gui try opening it with " nm-connection-editor "05:44

ProbablyAndyJack3k3: interesting.  is this one of those optimus things where it is supposed to switch between the two for power saving purposes?06:20

Overlap14.04 is having problems with updates06:21

Jack3k3Ben64, basically, I blacklisted the nouveau drivers and then purged nvidia and then turned off kdm and used the nvidia proprietary driver installer (from nvidias website)06:45
Jack3k3after doing all this I got stuck in a login loop06:45
SlidingHornOverlap: whenever you type my full s/n in I'll get a notification fi I'm online...was just afk for a bit.  In terms of your output, *something* is being picked up, but it's not recognized....does this flash drive work right now in any other OS environments?06:45
Ben64Jack3k3: yeah you shouldn't install from the website, nvidia drivers are in ubuntu repositories06:46
Jack3k3ah :\06:46
Overlapyes, I made it bootable on Ubuntu 14.04 (my friend's PC)06:46
wwwdbazhang: Sorry I missed some of this because my laptop kicked me off my wi-fi. What is bang tab?06:47
Ben64Jack3k3: to remove you'd have to check the the options of the installer or the website or something06:47
wwwdand "@"Ben?06:47
SlidingHornOverlap: wait...this is a bootable USB?  okay, maybe I'm misreading your problem...please let me know exactly what you're trying to do with this USB, and what's preventing you from it?  (sorry, I'm sure you've typed it before...the more detail & error messages, etc. you can provide, the better...not just for me, for everyone)06:48
OverlapActually, ubuntu is unable to detect it and other devices before I made it bootable06:49

SlidingHornOverlap: okay, well then we've at least eliminated the possibility of the port being dead...07:00
Jack3k3But now if i check inxi -Gx there are no failures, just drivers for X are intel (as expecteD)07:00
Jack3k3and if I check Xorg log, there are no errors07:00

Overlapport is n't dead, currently I am charging my cellphone on that port07:01
SlidingHornOverlap: could you show me the output of "lsblk" & "fdisk -l" with and without the USB?  You can paste them all into one pastebin, just label them for us07:02

SlidingHornOverlap: we'll do what we can to do it automatically07:11
Overlap:)07:11
sas93hmm07:11
SlidingHornsas93: so use rufus or netbootin to "burn" your 64-bit...when you go to restart your windows 10 DON'T turn off secure boot or enable legacy...you don't need to.07:12
sas93sounds like i should just scrap the idea and get a 64 bit efi device07:12

daftykinsasad_: vsync matches the framerate output to the refresh rate of your screen, typically 60fps for a 60Hz LCD. This prevents tearing, which is where a horizontal line appears to be drawn along the middle of the picture.14:08
daftykinsi can't be 100% on the second but it sounds like something that could make the graphics system work harder unnecessarily.14:09
asad_daftykins, I was experiencing vertical tearing when scrolling in firefox. Typically on the left side of the screen. I have enabled these two options in compiz settings. Will this help get rid of it?14:10
daftykinsno i don't think that'll be the same, then14:10
daftykinsit's solely horizontal due to the way display tech works14:11

daftykinsit's not going to spontaneously explode due to a simple graphics setting14:13

JeDahal~lo14:26
daftykinsThinker_: base 10 and base 2 unit conversion14:26
Thinker_no....its not 1024 vs 1000.... Itssomething related to ext414:26
Thinker_When I format that with NTFS, its show exactly 125GB14:27
daftykinsdepends on the tools you're using.14:27
daftykinsi'd go by "df -h"14:27
EriC^^Thinker_: it's the 5% reserved for root14:27
akikThinker_: there's probably a 5% quota set aside for root14:27
EriC^^Thinker_: 125*0.05=614:27

curiouscharacterim having problems with the commands14:35
* Thinker_ could not understand daftykins meaning bcoz of weak english14:35
akikThinker_: you'll not get the full 125 gigs usable space, the file system information needs also to be stored in the file system. try that tune2fs command first14:35
zteamdaftykins, if you try to download the Aptana file firefox defaults to Gedit (or some other unrealeled application)14:35
daftykinszteam: i can't test that as i don't use ubuntu desktop... however did you check what i said?14:36
Thinker_akik,  thanks....but I dont need 100 % space. I just want to know how it works, I mean just for knowledge14:36
MonkeyDustThinker_  it's not something to be desperate about14:37
Thinker_but learning linux is interesting buddy MonkeyDust14:37
Thinker_atleast for me14:37
daftykinsThinker_: re-do it as exFAT and notice the difference.14:38
daftykinsthough you may need to install exfat-utils14:38
zteamdaftykins, ahh okey :-), yes I did, that was the first thing I tried :-)14:39
Thinker_daftykins, I tried formatting in NTFS and got 100% space. So definitely it is something related to reserved space.......but two different entries cause me scratching my head...actually there should be one difference, not two...........14:39
OerHeksThinker_, i don't believe that, 125 gb partitioned in NTFS should also be less, like ext414:40
Thinker_daftykins,  anyways i will try formatting in exfat to see changes14:40
Thinker_OerHeks,  I ill show u, just wait man14:40

akiknice to learn new things14:43
zteamThinker_, Okey :-)14:43
daftykinsactually Windows sees and states capacity differently.14:43
Thinker_OerHeks,  yeah u are right...I mean to say NTFS uses only 0.1 GB out of 125....but ext uses nearly 814:43
daftykinstotally false14:44

zteamThinker_, there are two ways of calculating  partion / disk size14:48
Thinker_OK guys, I will just state more clearly. Thanks for ur patience.   I am uploading two screenshots side by side to compare NTFS vs ext4.......    My main question is, in case of NTFS, file manager says partition size 125 GB and available 124.9......In case of ext4, file manager says capacity  122.9  and available 116.6....So If we assume (122.9-116.6=6.3GB) is reserved, why it is showing 122.9 instead of 125....I hope u understand guys what I want to ask14:49
Thinker_These are screenshots...      http://imgur.com/a7lCfCA               http://imgur.com/QSyTmPX14:50
daftykinsand how does "sudo parted -l" display it? :)14:51
daftykinsThinker_: also, i recommend alt+print-screen in future14:52

TJ-Timothy3: you cannot do a remount of the initial ramdisk root file-system17:09
Timothy3So my only option is to reinstall?17:10
TJ-Timothy3: that is NOT THE SAME as the root file-system used in the normally running system.17:10
TJ-Timothy3: the initial ramdisk file-system is an embedded file-system the kernel uses to boot-strap into the real userspace root file-system. Within the initial ramdisk file-system is an /init script that takes care of finding, mounting, and then piovoting to the userspace root file-system.

TJ-Timothy3: do "head -n 20 /init" and you'll see the first few lines it should have executed; you'll notice that 'mount' command for /proc, and another for sysfs and so on. Ideally you should prepare the environment by manually copying and executing those non-comment commands that appear before the line that ends "echo "Loading, please wait..." "17:28

Silveringdaftykins: I'm just trying to do : swift -version.19:56
daftykinsSilvering: yes i know - and i'm saying to run 'file' on the swift binary you're executing.19:56
daftykins"which swift" will give its' path19:56
popeySilvering, you should see something like this -> swift: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, not stripped19:57
Silveringwhich swift returns : /home/ubuntu/Desktop/swift-2.2-SNAPSHOT-2015-12-01-b-ubuntu15.10/urs/bin//swift19:58
nolsen_Does anyone know how to change the default greeting from unity to cinnamon?19:58
popeyno, that's ls, you want "file"19:58
popeylike this:-19:58

BassemDo you want to delete them (if you answer 'Y', this will happen20:52
lotuspsychjeBassem: virtual machine20:52
TJ-Bassem: OK, so that basically confirms the 3 partitions are NTFS, but as we saw earlier os-prober cannot detect the installed OS. That suggests there's something unusual in the layout of the Windows file-systems, since os-prober looks for very specific files to be present to classify a file-system as containing an operating system20:52

davemwihello, can anyone help me try to get my cd/dvd drive recognized? I just checked the pins as I've read a lot about needing to switch it from 'slave' to 'master' but this is a laptop and that pin if it exists, is buried somewhere obscure. Isn't there anything that I can do? Seems so wrong that the drive can be used to setup Ubuntu, but after that I can't use it.21:22
daftykinsdavemwi: if it worked to install, and the BIOS recognises it, it doesn't need any channel selection changing - also this was only for old PATA (IDE) drives, not more modern SATA ones made in the last many years21:23

lotuspsychjeGuest35612: in my opinion id go for libreoffice21:28
daftykinsdavemwi: so what discs have you tested in there?21:28
TJ-Bassem: OK, as Bashing-om suggested much earlier, the cause is confirmed in that log: "20microsoft: debug: Skipping legacy bootloaders on UEFI system" - it means that on that system Windows is booting in Legacy/BIOS mode, but you've booted the Ubuntu installer in UEFI mode21:29
davemwidaftykins: well, so far just a blank cd-rw...I can try another one.21:29
Guest35612how do i get libreoffice in lubuntu?21:29
BassemTJ-, so what to do21:29
daftykinsdavemwi: put back in the ubuntu disc so you can see the data mounted?21:29
TJ-Bassem: so the obvious - although arguably not the best - solution is to reboot and ensure the system boots the installer in Legacy/BIOS mode too21:29
lotuspsychjeGuest35612: sudo apt-get install libreoffice21:30
BassemTJ-,  how can i do that?21:30
davemwidaftykins: Hmmpph! Just put another one in, and everything looks fine...I'll be...21:30
BassemTJ-,  my motherboard is asrock z68 pro 321:30
TJ-Bassem: doing that will mean the Linux GRUB bootloader will replace the Windows boot-strap code that is currently in sector 0 of the disk. I'd suggest we take a back-up of that sector and put it somewhere safe so its easy to restore if things go wrong21:30
Guest35612can i use the user interface to get it instead of typing in the command? sorry, i'm a newbie to linux21:31
lotuspsychjeGuest35612: you can use debi on lubuntu also yes21:31
BassemTJ-, how can i take backup of that sector?21:31

lotuspsychjeGuest35612: try software center on lubuntu21:32
BassemTJ-,  done21:32
BassemTJ-, so what to do now21:32
davemwidaftykins: yeah...i get that. I was trying to burn some files to a blank one though, and brasero was only giving me the option to burn it to an iso image...not to the drive...21:32

How you identify that is motherboard-dependent, so you'll have to use your smarts to figure out which boot menu entry is correct.21:34
TJ-Bassem: it's in the root directory of the Windows 7 OS file-system21:34
davemwidaftykins: there was 'Audio Project' and I went through that process, built the contents, and then 'Burn' only gave me the option to burn to an iso file...let me try again21:35
Oregon_Mikein software center, is it called Jack Mixer?21:36

ashicTJ: :( was hoping to finally go linux only with the new machine...no trackpad makes it tough.21:40
nico103but I can't resize / without resizing the partition, and I can't do that without moving the swap partition, which is inside an extended partition21:41
nico103the extended partition is two blocks larger than the swap partition21:41
belovedk_Just follow the instructions there to add the ppa, then sudo apt-get install cadence21:41
nico103gparted doesn't seem to be that smart21:41
nico103so...  should I just delete that extended partition?  does it hold any boot artifacts?21:42
BassemTJ-, ok i'll give it a try21:42
TJ-ashic: I'm not sure what solution those users found; someone else here may have taken note21:42
ashicTJ: fingers crossed...21:43
TJ-ashic: you could use some test tools to see if raw events are being received from the device, but ignored by the X  server event system21:43
TJ-ashic: if you can identify which device it is, use "sudo evtest /dev/input/eventX" to test it where 'X' is the number of the correct node in /dev/input/event*21:46
ashicTJ: xinput test 15 (15 is the device id) shows no events when touchpad is used21:46
TJ-ashic: right, so try evtest, find out if there are any events21:47
invapid2is there anyway to get a package deleted on ubuntu's launchpad21:48
invapid2(if it's completely out of date, so people don't download it)21:48
Ben64what package21:48
TJ-ashic: the other user 'limp' (I found their issue in my logs from 5th Dec) had multiple event* devices for the same physical device. In the /var/log/Xorg.0.log it said something like 'Ignoring duplicate input device' - it had jsut used the 1st input it found, rather than the input that delivered the events21:49
invapid2hackrf - but I've only confirmed it's bad on ubuntu 14 LTS21:49
TJ-ashic: I think the solution was a custom /etc/X11/xorg.conf entry for the input device21:49
invapid2at least for 14 LTS - the correct thing to do right now is install from source21:49
Ben64invapid2: how is it bad, where is it from, are you the maintainer21:49
ashicTJ: hmm...checking after i get evtest running. seems like  evtest /dev/input/event15 shows some hdmi stuff, while xinput list has touchpad as 15. so might well be the cause.21:50
ashicTJ: Interesting...log shows: [    63.032] (--) synaptics: DLL06E5:01 06CB:7A13 UNKNOWN: touchpad found [    63.033] (--) synaptics: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: touchpad found21:51
TJ-ashic: I noticed the eventX numbers can be different to the device ID, so dont' get caught out21:51
TJ-ashic: right, so that suggests its USB-connect with device ID 06CB:7A1321:52
ashicTJ: Seems touchpad is registered twice...one as Unknown and once as Synaptics21:52
TJ-ashic: right, this sounds very like what I was describing. check the Xorg.0.log for those 'duplicate ignored' messages21:52
Guest17422So I'm trying to add a mail account through the ubuntu online accounts thing. Can I specify what port to connect to SMTP over?21:53

TJ-linux|newb: if you need an explanation of what the diag results mean, show me what it reports22:46
linux|newbTJ-: thanks22:47
TJ-linux|newb: i'd recommend testing it first on the 'good' PC, then compare the result with the 'bad' PC22:47

IKilledJadcan anybody recommend me to a channel for support/help with xchat? new here22:49
TsutsukakushiIKilledJad: /list #xchat told me that there is a channel #xchat with 91 people22:50
TsutsukakushiIKilledJad: might want to try that22:50
auronandaceIKilledJad: xchat is no longer developed, perhaps you should move to hexchat. for general irc help you can ask in #freenode22:50
Tsutsukakushiso, usermod -U didn't work on a passwordless account...22:51
Tsutsukakushihow does one do it then22:51
IKilledJadwell Im really just looking for somebody to walk me through using it and setting up my own mini server possibly for a few friends and i while we game22:52
Tsutsukakushiauronandace: something not being actively developed doesn't mean that people should stop using it22:52
TsutsukakushiIKilledJad: xchat is just a client, not a server22:52
IKilledJadI understand. But someone has to know how to set up their own servers to use the client on a completely private channel, am i wrong?22:53
TsutsukakushiIKilledJad: as you i would probably set up a mumble server, it's easier and also has voice chat if you want that22:53
IKilledJadis the mumble distribution for linux any different then for windows? Ive tried mumble on my windows laptop and had nothing but trouble with everything from simply setting it up to voice and sound not being transmitted or recieved on both ends of my chat22:54
TsutsukakushiIKilledJad: it's years since i tried mumble on windows, but i haven't had any problems setting mumble up on my linux boxes22:55
IKilledJadawesome, thanks22:55
IKilledJadill try that again22:55
IKilledJadany other options just in case?22:55
Tsutsukakushialso setting up a whole ircd just for a few friends is a bit of an overkill, would be easier to just make a invite only channel on some network22:56
Tsutsukakushisome existing network*22:56
IKilledJadany tips? still new to the entire subject to some extent.22:58

TJ-Bassem: really!?23:05
BassemTJ-,  yes23:06
BassemTJ-, im not from legacy booting23:06
BassemTJ-, i had to recreat the usb again and run it from legeacy still cant feelmy windows23:06
TJ-Bassem: hmmm, that is weird. Did you look at /var/log/syslog when that happened, to see if os-prober was reporting the same problem again?23:06
BassemTJ-,  i didnt23:07
yotamLHello, is it safe to upgrade Ubuntu Gnome to Gnome Shell 3.18?23:08
TJ-Bassem: I'd recommend booting in Legacy/BIOS mode again, choosing "Try Ubuntu", then open a terminal and run "sudo os-prober" then do "grep 20microsoft /var/log/syslog "  and pastebin the result, so we can see all the messages the Windows detection code is reporting23:08
BassemTJ-, im in trying ubuntu from legacy.bios23:10
TJ-Bassem: OK, do "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" again, then do "pastebinit <( grep 20microsoft /var/log/syslog )"23:11
BassemTJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13981036/23:13
BassemTJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13981044/23:13
TJ-Bassem: os-prober has found Windows 7 !23:13
TJ-If you start the installer now, does it still say no OS found?23:14
BassemTJ-, when i try to install ubuntu it give me the same message23:15
TJ-Bassem: hmmm, that is strange, because we now know the tool it uses has found an OS23:16
BassemTJ-, so what is the problem now?23:16
TJ-Bassem: are you able to take a photo or screenshot and share it with us?23:16
TJ-Bassem: of the message dialog you see that shows no OS installed23:16

However, now I'm trying to run chsh -s $(which bash), and it prompts me for a password, and my new password doesn't work (the old one doesnt' work either)23:17

TJ-Bassem: remind which version of Ubuntu that is?23:22
BassemTJ-, Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS23:22
Bashing-omBassem: Also, have you verified the copy to the USB drive is valid ? ( check disk for defects) ? - proprieties should be observed -23:23
BassemBashing-om, it wouldnt run if its not valid23:24
akikbassem: the something else option lets you see your current partitions. that would be interesting to see23:24
Bassemakik, it show my the whole disk without partitions23:25
=== ignis-fatuus1 is now known as ignis-fatuus
TJ-Bassem: I'm looking at several possible bugs in ubiquity (the GUI installer) that report this issue23:26
Bashing-omBassem: Wrong assumption there friend . Best to do the check particularly so as the installer is not working .23:26
ignis-fatuusHaving problems with my system hanging at shutdown....been fighting this for a couple of days now. Anyone out there willing to help?23:26
TJ-Bashing-om: what is weird is running 'os-prober' manually does report finding Windows 723:26
=== anonymous is now known as Guest27361
BassemTJ-, akik http://imgur.com/4pJ9Icz23:27
Bashing-omTJ-: Yeah .. same as you .. why I asvise to " check disk for defects " to insure ALL files on the liveUSB are intact .23:28
damienhey guys, i got a question. Is there anyway to emulate a USB device as a iso image.. And now i just felt stupid..23:28
damienJust realised thatshow i always installs linux23:28
damienBut. i wanna have the space left on it23:28
TJ-Bashing-om: yes, I think that is the next step. Bassem do as Bashing-om recommends, reboot the installer and on its boot menu choose 'check disk for defects' or whatever its called on 14.0423:29
TJ-Bashing-om: I think I know why it is doing it, its due to the left-over GPT metadata on that disk, but because its unclear how the disk got into that state I'm reluctant to recommend zapping the GPT metadata23:30
TJ-Bassem: does Windows 7 currently boot correctly from that hard disk?23:30
Bassemok23:31
Bashing-omTJ-: You are the one I follow for isolating those offsets !23:31
BassemTJ-, yes it work fine23:31
Tsutsukakushiguys, how do i create passwordless user, there is no passwd -uf and usermod -U doesn't work if it's passwordless...23:31
EmeraldExplorerIs there anyway to reinstall a program? For example when I installed phpmyadmin I selected a wrong thing in the config and now I cant change it because each time I try to reinstall it remembers what I put!23:31
TJ-Bassem: ok, let's try zapping those GPT leftovers then, and hope!23:32
TsutsukakushiEmeraldExplorer: dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin23:32
BassemTJ-, what do you mean23:32
TJ-Bassem: does "which sgdisk" report anything?23:32
BassemTJ-,  how can i know?23:32
BassemTJ-, any command line to try?23:33
TJ-Bassem: run that command, tell me if it reports anything23:33
TJ-Bassem: "which sgdisk"23:33
Bashing-omEmeraldExplorer: Might try to "purge" rather than remove .. as purge will remove the system ( not userspace ) config files .. then install ??23:33
BassemTJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13981351/23:33
TJ-Bassem: good, it is installed, so we don't need to install the package first. We'll now 'zap' the unwanted GPT structures from the disk: "sudo sgdisk --zap /dev/sda"23:35
ignis-fatuusthis is what I get when I shut go to shut down...any idea? http://i.imgur.com/KI7oaqy.jpg23:36
TJ-Bassem: after that, step back in the installer GUI then try to have it detect an OS again23:36
gurn56hello! i need help with changing xubuntu's squashfs filesystem. when i unpack, change and repack squashfs fs, there is problem that the new file is not booting anymore. i also tried to unpack and repack the same contents, but it's the same problem with it. any suggestion what to do? thank you in advance!23:36
BassemTJ-,  will any of those command rune my disk?23:36
BassemTJ-, will it mess up my hard disk?23:38
andy1hi23:38
TJ-Bassem: the 'zap' command will zero out the GPT primary and secondary headers from sda. We already know the GPT partition table is empty and the disk is only using the MBR, and I've checked that the first partition starts at sector 2048 and so can't be affected by the wiping of the primary GPT (which is at the start of the disk from sectors 1 through 33)23:38
TJ-Bassem: the secondary GPT header is at the end of the disk, and partition 3 ends way before the end of the disk23:38
BassemInvalid partition data!23:39
BassemGPT data structures destroyed! You may now partition the disk using fdisk or23:39
Bassemother utilities.23:39
TJ-Bassem: ok, so now back to the GUI installer, step it back and then forward to detect OS again23:40
TJ-Bassem: you might have to quit the installer program and restart it for this to work23:40
BassemTJ-,  now it detect it23:40
TJ-Bassem: At last!!!!23:41
akikthat's just amazing23:41
TJ-Bassem: you can finally get on now23:41
BassemTJ-, yup :)23:41
TJ-akik: WHAT a bug in ubiquity though23:41
BassemTJ-, hope you can offer bit more help through installing23:41
akiki wish there was a flow chart for uefi & mbr dual booting23:41
TJ-Bassem: my brain is exhausted I'll let others do that... besides which I rarely use the installer myself so not terribly familiar with it23:42
HinkDoes Ubuntu (Server 15.10) not have chkconfig anymore?23:42
Bashing-omTJ-: Now has some more tweak'n to do in the bug squad .23:42
Bassemok23:42
TJ-akik: there is... I wrote one, Bashing-om where did I put that boot overview?23:42
* TJ- doesn't know his own web site!23:42
akiki've only done the mbr way23:43
Bashing-omTJ-: Hang on one .. I have it handy !23:43
TJ-Bashing-om: I knew you would :D23:43

andy1i just downloaded this unix file23:45
andy1x-unikey-1.0.4.tar.bz223:45
andy1how do i unzip it?23:45
TJ-Bassem: I'd recommend you make sda2 LVM, then you can create multiple file-system inside it23:45
MonkeyDust!zip | andy123:45
ubottuandy1: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME), Ark (KDE), or Xarchiver (XFCE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression23:45
BassemTJ-,  what do you mean?23:45
TJ-andy1: "tar -xf x-unikey-1.0.4.tar.bz2"23:46
BassemTJ-, sda2 is 100GB for ubuntu23:46
Bassemdo i need to make swap area?23:46
Bassemor just install it on sda223:46
TJ-Bassem: LVM == Logical Disk Management. It's a container format, much more flexible than partitions, where file-systems are inside 'Logical Volumes' (LVs), and multiple LVs are contained in a single 'Volume Group' (VG). VGs have 1 or more 'Physical Volumes' (PVs), in your case /dev/sda2 would be the PV23:48
Tsutsukakushihow do i create passwordless user, there is no passwd -uf and usermod -U doesn't work if it's passwordless...23:48

Tsutsukakushi?23:48
gke9hello everyone, I cannot change permissions of a folder with gksudo. I cannot save a file to that folder, either, for 'insufficient user rights'.23:48
TJ-Bassem: as to the installer, I'm not sure if in manual mode you can configure for LVM in the way I'm recommending. I know the automated install options offer an LVM install though23:49
BassemTJ-, sda2 and sda3 are same color23:50
Voyage_I am getting this message when I try to install skype. I am using kubuntu 14.04 lts. Any clue? The "skype" package could not be marked for installation or upgrade:23:50
Voyage_Depends: skype, but it is a virtual package23:50
TJ-Tsutsukakushi: does "passwd --delete" do what you want?23:50
TJ-Bassem: you need to re-assign the empty partition (/dev/sda2 I think you said) as LVM23:51
TJ-Bassem: with sda2 selected, press the "Change..." button23:51
TJ-Bassem: there should then be an option to select the file-system type, and hopefully on the drop-down list you should find 'LVM' as an option23:53
BassemTJ-,  then ?? which chooice is for lvm23:53
SchrodingersScatgke9: that seems like two different questions.  if you want to change the permissions of the directory you can use chmod and change ownership with chown, if you need to edit a file within it, then something like gksudo gedit /path/to/file should suffice.23:53
BassemTJ-, theres not23:53
akiki think it's called physical volume (lvm)23:53
TJ-Bassem: that's annoying. If there definitely is not we'll have to get that done manually from a terminal23:54
BassemTJ-, i think when i partitioned the harddisk i made c:\ primery and the rest is logic23:55
gke9SchrodingersScat, but I was always able to change them both via gksudo in file manager, by changing both the folder permissions and those of enclosed files.23:55
Bassemthen creat two partions d and e in the logic23:55
TJ-Bassem: that has nothing to do with LVM though23:56
BassemTJ-,23:56
TJ-Bassem: an msdos 'logical' partition is an entirely different thing to LVM, so don't let it confuse you :)23:56
TJ-Bassem: and the msdos partition table didn't show any extended or logical partitions23:56
TJ-Bassem: so, if the GUI doesn't offer LVM we'll do it manually23:57
Bassemi have ext4,3,2,btrfs,jfs,xfs,fat15,fat32,ntfs,swap area,physical volume23:57
Bassemthats all what i get when i click change23:58
TJ-Bassem: its as akik said "physical volume"23:59
andy1i want to build by typing ./configure23:59
TJ-Bassem: that'll be an LVM 'PV' which is what we want23:59
