[00:01] <SlidingHorn> LTCD: are all of its partitions unmounted?  If so, it is safe to remove/power down.
[00:02] <Diegosi> Hello.
[00:02] <Diegosi> Is it just as good to use Ubuntu on Chrome OS using crouton?
[00:03] <Bashing-om> samsamsam: All I see is " 72651448        home " which is huge . start backing up files out of /home and free up that disk space . delete all that you no longer need .
[00:03] <samsamsam> @Bashing-om Thanks. Will do that
[00:05] <Bashing-om> samsamsam: When space is restored, we must address getting you updated .
[00:07] <Ender_Wiggin> Can someone please assist me, have an error "networking disabled" ubuntu 14.04 using LXDE
[00:09] <fep> «Crocodile» lages ved hjelp av kodein, bensin, rød fosfor (f.eks fra fystikkesker), maursyre, saltsyre og kaustisk soda
[00:09] <fep> sorry
[00:09] <fep> wrong channel
[00:11] <question> Ender_Wiggin: you better try in ##networking channel
[00:12] <SlidingHorn> question: Ender_Wiggin no - that very well could be a channel-appropriate issue here.
[00:12] <Ender_Wiggin> yeah im over there thanks
[00:12] <Ender_Wiggin> if anyone has suggestiongs, let me know please =3
[00:12] <TJ-> samsamsam: Bashing-om "11 gigs not counted" - possible explanation: file-system has run out of inodes
[00:13] <TJ-> Ender_Wiggin: when/where do you see "networking disabled" ?
[00:14] <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-om> TJ-: 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 FS
[00:15] <samsamsam> @Bashing-om /dev/sda5 5439488 491638 4947850   10% /
[00:16] <Bashing-om> samsamsam: TJ- .. in that output is the 5% for 'root' accounted for ?
[00:16] <samsamsam> @Bashing-om http://pastebin.com/11h5PQAd
[00:17] <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 it
[00:18] <TJ-> samsamsam: what does "sudo blkid /dev/sda5" report ?
[00:18] <tx> I need to blacklist a module from one device, but not another.
[00:18] <tx> they 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"
[00:19] <TJ-> tx: you'd need to disable the PCI device you don't want, first, else the modules probe() function will find and register it
[00:19] <TJ-> samsamsam: oh, surprising. I wonder why it has NTFS file-system structures on it
[00:19] <tx> TJ-, I want to pass the device thru to a VM via VFIO
[00:20] <TJ-> samsamsam: but good, I was fearing it wasn't ext*
[00:20] <tx> nvidia 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.
[00:21] <tx> hmm, I will attempt to kill X and see if I can unbind it then.
[00:21] <tx> perhaps 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.
[00:23] <Ender_Wiggin> got some pastebin info on my iptables and ip a info if anyone can help with my networking disabled issue
[00:23] <Ender_Wiggin> http://pastebin.com/gpFS9bZW
[00:23] <Ender_Wiggin> http://pastebin.com/0FZN5Vn9
[00:23] <tx> Hmm, that was not a success.
[00:24] <samsamsam> @TJ- Thanks will try that
[00:25] <SlidingHorn> Ender_Wiggin: someone asked you a question trying to help you...please scroll up
[00:25] <tx> Ooh, I wonder if I can leverage Optimus / Bumblebee to 'disable' the card
[00:25] <Ender_Wiggin> ahh crap thanks
[00:26] <SlidingHorn> no problem...happens to the best of us :)
[00:26] <Ender_Wiggin> SlidingHorn you talkin bout someone sugestiong i goto ##networking?
[00:26] <Ender_Wiggin> trying on both channels =P
[00:27] <SlidingHorn> Ender_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"
[00:28] <TJ-> tx: did you already try using the sysfs unbind interface?
[00:28] <Graf_Z4hl> format c: doesn't work :(
[00:28] <tx> yes
[00:28] <Ender_Wiggin> ah ty
[00:28] <tx> TJ-, kernel complains that it's tainted and spews out a stacktrace
[00:28] <TJ-> tx: ahhh of course, you're using the proprietary driver?
[00:28] <tx> I think I have a solution though, why don't I just load the nvidia module LATER, after I have stolen the card.
[00:29] <tx> yes
[00:29] <TJ-> tx: yes, I was going to suggest that earlier. add the module to the standard blacklist, but have a script the modprobes later
[00:29] <tx> yup
[00:29] <tx> but without any module for them, will I get no FB output?
[00:29] <tx> (noveau is also disabled)
[00:30] <tx> or will it fall back to some primitive VESA output? :p
[00:30] <TJ-> you should be able to use a FB driver, maybe the vesafb
[00:30] <TJ-> tx: have you checked the nvidia driver parms in case it has one to control this ?
[00:30] <tx> Not in detail, will do just now before I commit to this solution.
[00:32] <TJ-> tx: e.g: "modinfo -F parm nvidia-340"
[00:32] <tx>  NVreg_AssignGpus="PCI_address" looks promising
[00:32] <Ender_Wiggin> SlidingHorn sadly i cannot run update because i have no internet connection
[00:32] <TJ-> tx: right, I'd check the HTML appendix for info
[00:32] <tx> Yup, checking it out on their site.
[00:32] <OldDenverGeek> hi, im on 1404, using Gnome Metacity and I don't see under Applications the Programming menu.. how do I get it in there?
[00:33] <TJ-> tx: the FAQ gives the example modprobe nvidia0 NVreg_AssignGpus="0:01:00.0,0:02:00.0"
[00:33] <tx> Indeed.
[00:33] <tx> can I pass these on boot using grub?
[00:33] <tx> (in the cmdline option)
[00:34] <tx> or do I need to specify in /etc/modules (or similar)
[00:35] <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 match
[00:35] <tx> fabulous
[00:36] <TJ-> tx: I'd guess Nvidia added that specifically for supporting CUDA
[00:36] <tx> I shall return with news.
[00:39] <tx> Well, this is promising. Nvidia-settings no longer lists the device.
[00:39] <tx> Let us try binding it to VFIO.
[00:40] <tx> TJ-, Success! You are a gem.
[00:40] <Gallomimia> for some reason my system doesn't have nvidia settings installed. it removed it.
[00:41] <TJ-> tx: glad you solved it; I used that once or twice with an external dual-GPU extension but had forgotten about it
[00:42] <OldDenverGeek> anyone here know how to add to the Applications menu? I don't see the programming submenu..
[00:43] <anabain> Why can't I log without password after running ssh-keygen and copying id_rsa.pub to the remote machine?
[00:43] <senatormeow> Having a hell of a time getting ASU
[00:43] <senatormeow> S touchpad working
[00:43] <senatormeow> On Kernel 4.2, which is all I should need from everything I'm seeing online
[00:44] <TJ-> anabain: did you use "ssh-copy-id" ?
[00:44] <senatormeow> xinput lists it as ELAN1000:00 04F3:0401
[00:45] <anabain> TJ, yes
[00:45] <anabain> TJ-, yes
[00:45] <TJ-> anabain: have you used "ssh -vvv ..." to connect and get debug output
[00:45] <anabain> no, I'll try
[00:46] <TJ-> anabain: and, on the server, have you checked "/var/log/auth.log". You may need to increase the sshd log verbosity too
[00:46] <SlidingHorn> OldDenverGeek: 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 job
[00:47] <anabain> ok, TJ-
[00:49] <TJ-> anabain: you may want "LogLevel DEBUG3" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config for the testing
[00:54] <anabain> TJ-, that's from ssh -vvv    http://paste.ubuntu.com/13948650/
[00:54] <OldDenverGeek> SlidingHorn: I just checked and under  Applications > System Tools > there is no application menu editor..
[00:55] <SlidingHorn> OldDenverGeek: ok...let's try installing alacarte then:     sudo apt-get install alacarte
[00:55] <anabain> TJ-, local is 15.10, remote 14.04
[00:55] <OldDenverGeek> SlidingHorn: already installed
[00:56] <SlidingHorn> okay, then from your terminal:   alacarte
[00:57] <SlidingHorn> OldDenverGeek: (from there, I'd also add alacarte, itself, to your menu, just so you don't have to get it from command line)
[00:58] <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-key
[00:58] <TJ-> anabain: is the 'server' side user's home directory encrypted?
[00:58] <OldDenverGeek> SlidingHorn: so do I have to do a new item for alacarte? I want to add idle for python as well
[00:58] <SlidingHorn> OldDenverGeek: from this point, you can create entries for whatever you'd like :)
[00:59] <anabain> TJ-, I don't think so, how can I check it?
[00:59] <OldDenverGeek> SlidingHorn: right on!! thanks!
[01:00] <TJ-> anabain: if on the system it has /home/.ecryptfs/$USER/ directory
[01:01] <OldDenverGeek> later
[01:02] <anabain> TJ-, no, there's only the ordinary user's dir
[01:02] <TJ-> anabain: OK, and does the user's $HOME/.ssh/ directory have protective permissions?
[01:03] <anabain> TJ-, 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 ./"
[01:04] <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] <anabain> TJ-, yes, I think that's ok
[01:06] <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.log
[01:06] <anabain> ok
[01:11] <anabain> TJ-, I'm a stupid, this is the 'server's' .ssh dir: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13949024/
[01:12] <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] <anabain> ok
[01:13] <TJ-> anabain: then you should see that the .ssh/ directory has drwx------
[01:13] <anabain> yes, that's fine now. Do I need to restart the server?
[01:13] <TJ-> anabain: then you should do "chmod go-r $HOME/.ssh/*"
[01:14] <TJ-> anabain: no, restart shouldn't be needed; I'd expect the client to connect now
[01:15] <anabain> TJ-, no success, it keeps asking for the password
[01:16] <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.log
[01:17] <anabain> ok
[01:19] <yaaic> how can bind o[tions ge added to fstab or specified at boot using ubuntu 14
[01:19] <yaaic> how can bind options be added to fstab or specified at boot using ubuntu 14
[01:21] <yaaic> it looks likr there's a lot of bind processes
[01:21] <anabain> TJ-, this is the output from /var/log/auth.log  on the server: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13949262/
[01:22] <yaaic> it looks like there's a lot of bind processes
[01:23] <TJ-> anabain: line 195 "debug1: trying public key file /home/joan/.ssh/authorized_keys2"
[01:24] <TJ-> anabain: have you edited the "AuthorizedKeysFile" setting in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and made a typo?
[01:25] <yaaic> rbinding
[01:25] <yaaic> rcus
[01:27] <anabain> I'll check, but I don't think so:
[01:27] <anabain> TJ-, that's what I have on my server's sshd_config:  #AuthorizedKeysFile     %h/.ssh/authorized_keys
[01:27] <anabain> It seems the line is commented...
[01:27] <TJ-> anabain: on the server do "sudo grep  'authorized_keys2' /etc/ssh/*"
[01:28] <TJ-> anabain: anything in /etc/default/ssh ?
[01:28] <anabain> grep outputs nothing
[01:29] <yrumbog> anabain: try sudo
[01:29] <TJ-> anabain: how about "sudo grep  'authorized_keys2' /etc/pam.d/*"
[01:30] <TJ-> anabain: let's check what ssh server session is active: "ps -efly | grep sshd"
[01:31] <anabain> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13949490/
[01:31] <TJ-> anabain: the server is 14.04 you said?
[01:32] <TJ-> !info openssh-server trusty
[01:32] <anabain> yes, kubuntu trusty
[01:33] <anabain> ii  openssh-server                              1:6.6p1-2ubuntu2.3                      amd64
[01:33] <TJ-> anabain: ok, that matches. That "authorized_keys2" reference is apparently a deprecated feature (since 2001!) for ssh version 1.3/1.5 vs 2.0 keys
[01:33] <anabain> wow
[01:34] <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"
[01:35] <TJ-> anabain: show us "ll -d /home/joan"
[01:36] <anabain> I have no ll command on my 14.04
[01:36] <TJ-> anabain: ok, use "ls -ld /home/joan"
[01:36] <anabain> drwxrwxrwx 164 joan joan 12288 des 10 22:49 /home/joan/
[01:36] <TJ-> anabain: 'll' is an alias set by bash
[01:37] <anabain> ok
[01:37] <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?
[01:38] <anabain> probably, perhaps when reinstalling the system or whatever. Most probably yes, I did it. Mea culpa
[01:38] <TJ-> anabain: there may be other issues, but this should fix the ssh issue: "sudo chmod -R g-rw,o-rwx /home/joan"
[01:39] <TJ-> anabain: other applications or services may have other strange problems if those permissions changes have been done on other areas of the file-system
[01:40] <anabain> perhaps this can explain why I had so many troubles when I tried nfs between these two boxes... Could it be so?
[01:41] <TJ-> anabain: permissions can cause many problems
[01:41] <anabain> drwx--x--- 164 joan joan 12288 des 10 22:49 /home/joan/
[01:41] <anabain> that's the new output
[01:41] <TJ-> anabain: I'd expect ssh client to connect now
[01:42] <anabain> yes!!!!
[01:42] <anabain> oh, thanks
[01:42] <anabain> thank you so much
[01:42] <anabain> you've so kind and helpful, TJ-
[01:43] <TJ-> anabain: don't forget to undo that additional LogLevel setting
[01:43] <anabain> yes, I was just doing it
[01:46] <DirtyCajun> there are just a couple things that i am not comfortable doing via CLI, partition management for example. so what is the LIGHTEST desktop humanly possible that is just enough of a desktop to see gparted haha
[01:46] <Bashing-om> sam
[01:47] <TJ-> DirtyCajun: I'm the opposite, I don't trust a GUI built on top of the CLI tooling to get it right every time!
[01:47] <DirtyCajun> :O
[01:47] <DirtyCajun> the irony
[01:47] <DirtyCajun> so light gutted desktop opinion?
[01:49] <yrumbog> DirtyCajun: nno
[01:49] <DirtyCajun> so far my internet search says LXDE
[01:50] <Bashing-om> !minimal | DirtyCajun Build what you want :
[01:50] <yrumbog> DirtyCajun: you got ot
[01:51] <TJ-> DirtyCajun: LXDE requires 800+ packages, XFCE about 300 - I found this out last week
[01:51] <TJ-> DirtyCajun: that's the dependencies for lubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop, respectively
[01:51] <DirtyCajun> interesting. so you would say xfce is less resource intensive?
[01:52] <LienRag> if you're searching for a light desktop, try OpenBox
[01:53] <DirtyCajun> i basically wish i could have SOLELY server. with a remote desktop gparted for 30 sec every now and again iahahaha
[01:53] <DirtyCajun> if only right?
[01:53] <TJ-> nah, 5 seconds with parted
[01:54] <DirtyCajun> but but but
[01:54] <TJ-> there should be no need to mess with partitions after initial install, if its done correctly
[01:54] <DirtyCajun> the commands are convoluded to me
[01:54] <DirtyCajun> no tj thats the whole point
[01:54] <Dylan____>  Can someone help me install java from offical website for ubuntu
[01:54] <DirtyCajun> i am running an ever expanding file server
[01:54] <Dylan____> I dont want to use shady ppas etc
[01:54] <DirtyCajun> i need LVM
[01:54] <DirtyCajun> and the ability to add more HDD on the fly
[01:55] <TJ-> DirtyCajun: right, that is what I was going to suggest. Use LVM and forget about partitions
[01:55] <DirtyCajun> but the LVM CL confuses me
[01:55] <nishant> hi buddy, can any
[01:56] <TJ-> DirtyCajun: plug-in drive, system sees /dev/sdX, do "pvcreate /dev/sdX; vgextend VG /dev/sdX"
[01:56] <nishant> hi buddy, is there any one to help me "how to install windows software using wine
[01:57] <DirtyCajun> dont you have to do other commands for it to see the change internally?
[01:57] <LienRag> nishant: do you need wine specifically?
[01:57] <LienRag> Can't you use a VM for Windows?
[01:57] <TJ-> DirtyCajun: no
[01:57] <DirtyCajun> O.o
[01:58] <TJ-> DirtyCajun: once the PV is added to the VG, the new extents area available for use
[01:58] <nishant> yes, i have installed it
[01:58] <LienRag> yes but a VMed windows is so much easier to use
[01:58] <DirtyCajun> ok so then you need to extend the current LV to the maximum size of the disk
[01:59] <LienRag> I've tried wine and had success with some softwares but failed with others
[01:59] <DirtyCajun> then you gotta tell it something else. im lookin on the help.ubuntu.com right now
[01:59] <TJ-> DirtyCajun: I never fully allocate the extents, I always keep some in reserve
[01:59] <DirtyCajun> why?
[02:00] <TJ-> DirtyCajun: right, so "lvextend -L +200G VG/LV"
[02:01] <TJ-> DirtyCajun: why? for doing snapshots, temporary file-systems, moving extents off failed disks
[02:01] <nishant> so how do i do that
[02:02] <LienRag> that what? Wine or VM?
[02:02] <nishant> wine
[02:03] <DirtyCajun> i get my new rack server in the morning. thats why im working on all this. if i get stuck imma find you tomorrow TJ ok?
[02:04] <Mneuro> Does the Xbox One controller work in Ubuntu?  I was under the impression I could connect it via USB and it would work
[02:04] <TJ-> Mneuro: I understand it depends on which model, and which driver on Linux
[02:04] <LienRag> Sorry, 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 VM
[02:05] <Mneuro> TJ- I am using the official Xbox One controller and I have Ubuntu 15.10
[02:06] <nishant> hey buddy help me to come from this, so that i can use printer
[02:07] <LienRag> your printer has a driver that runs only on windows?
[02:07] <LienRag> can't you find a linux driver?
[02:07] <TJ-> Mneuro: there was another user here earlier trying to get a compatible controller to work in similar circumstances, on both 14.04 and 15.10, and wasn't having much success for Steam games at least
[02:07] <nishant> yes that is the only problem  that it runs only on windows
[02:07] <LienRag> I never used WIne for such a thing, I don't know if it will work
[02:07] <harduim> nishant, what is the model?
[02:08] <Mneuro> TJ- It isn't even turning my controller on when i plug it in
[02:08] <Mneuro> I tested it in windows and it worked fine
[02:08] <harduim> Mneuro, in the same machine?
[02:08] <TJ-> Mneuro: the user earlier was using the xboxdrv package, and needed the latest 0.8.6 or 0.8.7 version to get the controller LED to turn on
[02:08] <nishant> hp deskjet 2520
[02:09] <DirtyCajun> omg. gparted has a liveboot cd. its just gparted.... JUST WHEN YOU NEED IT. that beats any desktop
[02:09] <Mneuro> Yea it's the same machine
[02:09] <Mneuro> I should just have xpad installed
[02:09] <Mneuro> i haven't changed anything from the default install of 15.10
[02:10] <TJ-> nishant: doesn't the 'hplip' package support that device?
[02:10] <nishant> no it won't
[02:11] <LienRag> well, good luck
[02:11] <LienRag> I'm not qualified for this
[02:11] <nishant> too i've a micromax modem and even it doesnot get install
[02:15] <TJ-> nishant: according to HP it is supported: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/deskjet_aio/deskjet_2520_series.html
[02:15] <nishant> ok then i'll try for it again
[02:16] <nishant> but what about mmx modem its linex folder doesnot has any application
[02:17] <nishant> to install
[02:17] <TJ-> nishant: sounds like a soft 'win'modem
[02:19] <nishant> i dont know that but i can give you the details of that modem it is: mmx210g
[02:21] <Mneuro> I connect my xbox one controller to Ubuntu 15.10, it vibrates but doesn't turn on and ubuntu doesn't see it
[02:21] <TJ-> nishant: oh, a USB 3G cellular device? ModemManager should be able to manage most of those kind of devices
[02:22] <nishant> then why i m not able to install it
[02:23] <Ryom> Can anyone here answer a question I have about connecting to the internet 12.04?
[02:23] <TJ-> nishant: install what? no 'install' should be needed for most USB devices
[02:23] <TJ-> nishant: check if ModemManager knows about it with "mmcli -L"
[02:24] <nishant> but it is not working without installing, how can i use this modem for using internet
[02:24] <nishant> connection
[02:24] <anabain> TJ-, just a question related to my permissions, problem: it seems you told me to set my home user to 710, right? But "normal" user permissions for home/user dirs are 755. Is there any reason to prefer 710 instead of 755?
[02:25] <Bashing-om> Ryom: Maybe, ask the question and see .
[02:26] <TJ-> anabain: that last 5 is others=r-x ... do you want any other user able to read/traverse the user's $HOME ?
[02:26] <anabain> ok
[02:26] <Ryom> Just checking if there's help out there. I'm good
[02:28] <nishant> hey tj please help me for this modem
[02:28] <TJ-> anabain: the standard umask is, if I recall correctly, Debian used to use 022 but we prefer 027 or 077 now. It's set my pam_umask based on the config in /etc/login.defs
[02:29] <TJ-> nishant: i already did, but you haven't responded yet
[02:30] <anabain> TJ-, my MASK value in /etc/login.defs in both boxes is 022
[02:30] <TJ-> and it's 02:30 here so I'm leaving!
[02:31] <HackerII> its only 0230 ?
[02:31] <HackerII> the nite is young
[02:31] <anabain> 3:30 here
[02:36] <robe13> Was trying to install emacs24, it only grabbed a few of the dependences, started spitting out 404 and cannot validate errors. googled, suggested fix was sudo-apt update, which also spit out a lot of 404s. googled again, suggested just upgrading distro (I'm on 14.10) so ran dist-upgrade... immediately getting 404's everywhere. canceled operation
[02:37] <robe13> Any idea what's going on?

[02:57] <Bashing-om> robe13: Are you still on 14.10 ? what happened ?
[03:00] <robe13> Yeah, still on 14.10. Followed steps (update manager, update ubuntu-desktop) both came out as up to date already. apt-get the kernel header, got a screen full of 404s again. I'm gonna try to generate a default source list
[03:01] <staticsn0w> EriC^^ you online?
[03:01] <staticsn0w> guess not
[03:01] <Bashing-om> robe13: In the instructions is to convert you sources.list file to "old-releases.ubuntu.com" . Did you ?
[03:05] <Bashing-om> RNeville: "iU  linux-generic-lts-vivid " we may have to do this the manual way . what happens with ' sudo apt-get autoremove' as the 'iU' says the meta control package is not installed .
[03:06] <RNeville> not following bot Bashing-om
[03:08] <Bashing-om> RNeville: Sorry, I do not understand that last . I an awaiting to see the results from terminal command ' sudo apt-get autoremove [ . then see what is to be done to remove the old kernels .
[03:09] <RNeville> just a moment Bashing-om
[03:09] <RNeville> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13951955/
[03:10] <Bashing-om> RNeville: look'n at your http://paste.ubuntu.com/13951955/ .
[03:10] <slidinghorn> Any reason that adding a new network via nm-connection-editor would cause my scan for wifi networks return no results...as soon as i remove it and scan, available networks show up again.
[03:11] <Bashing-om> RNeville: " http://paste.ubuntu.com/13951955/ " , what is that output from ?
[03:18] <Viking667> I have a weird ... problem.
[03:19] <Viking667> I can set any keyboard layout I like, and when I select "Show Keyboard Layout" from the Gnome3 toolbar, it always shows me the layout in "Microsoft Natural" (the split-keyboard).
[03:19] <robe13> Bashing-om: Sorry, yeah, I did update the source. Should everything in the source list be removed ?
[03:20] <Viking667> How do I get that layout to be changed to a normal keyboard, not a Natural keyboard?
[03:20] <vocx> Viking667, what's the difference?
[03:21] <Viking667> On the "Natural" layout, a `/~ key doesn't show
[03:21] <RNeville> Bashing-om,    sudo apt-get autoremove | pastebinit was the last command I used pastebinit with
[03:21] <Viking667> In addition, I'm trying to figure out where stuff is, and something's not making sense.
[03:22] <Bashing-om> robe13: If sources.list is updated .. AND there are no installed PPAs that 15.04 DOES not support . now run ' sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade ' . does all run clean prior to doing the actual release upgrade ?
[03:23] <Bashing-om> RNeville: K look'n again now that I know . Be right back .
[03:24] <Bashing-om> RNeville: Does not look so good .. OK, show me a new ' dpkg -l | grep linux- ' and we do this manually .
[03:25] <RNeville> k Bashing-om
[03:25] <RNeville> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13952384/
[03:26] <robe13> Bashing-om: stupid question 'no installed PPAs that 15.04 does not support' ? Maybe I am misunderstanding. I have the vanilla source list, + EOL upgrade sources list with CODENAME changed to Utopic
[03:27] <robe13> Should everything else except the EOL upgrade sources be commented out?
[03:27] <Bashing-om> robe13: We find a lot of times in a release upgrade that many PPAs have no support in 15.04 . Ta want us to verify the source.list ?
[03:28] <robe13> Bashing-om: I'll pastebin what I have, maybe I misunderstanding something in the instructions. One moment

[03:30] <georgewhite> Hi there! I can’t seem to sign on to the Ubuntu Wiki using Ubuntu One single sign on.
[03:30] <georgewhite> I get an Internal Server Error (500) after waiting for a while
[03:31] <Bashing-om> RNeville: Let's begin the clean up ' sudo dpkg -P linux-image-3.19.0-25-generic linux-image-extra-3.19.0-25-generic ' .

[03:32] <aten> ubuntu dont work on my pc
[03:32] <aten> when i boot
[03:32] <Bashing-om> robe13: Checking your http://pastebin.com/JPiAj1nS .
[03:32] <aten> screen hold
[03:32] <RNeville> ok Bashing-om , ran the command above
[03:32] <aten> key not work
[03:33] <georgewhite> aten: you’ll need to be more specific than that – what does the screen display when it freezes?
[03:34] <Bashing-om> RNeville: L and no errors ? now we need to know what kernel you are booting . We must not mess with that booting kernel ! Show ' uname -r ' .
[03:34] <aten> ubuntu screen boot is hold
[03:34] <georgewhite> Finally SSO worked!
[03:34] <Viking667> how do you mean, hold?
[03:35] <Viking667> stuck?
[03:35] <aten> keyboard not work
[03:35] <RNeville> no errors Bashing-om
[03:35] <Viking667> if you hit capslock does the light turn on and off?

[03:39] <aten> what do you think ?
[03:40] <Bashing-om> robe13: Nope, you want ALL instances of " us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/" changed to " old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ " . a sed command will do that handily ' sudo sed -i -e 's/archive.ubuntu.com/old-releases.ubuntu.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list ' . And yes you want codename as the current install ' utopic' .
[03:40] <julian-delphiki> DirtyCajun, lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/myvg/testlv
[03:40] <Viking667> hm. I don't know how to fix that.
[03:40] <julian-delphiki> DirtyCajun, lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/myvg/testlv should do 100%
[03:40] <Viking667> aten: what will http://ubuntu.pl/  do if you open that in a browser?
[03:40] <julian-delphiki> woah my scrollback was way back

[04:11] <Bashing-om> RNeville: Great ,, now let's look again ' dpkg -l | grep linux- ' see of the package manager healed our woes .

[04:16] <dumle29_irssi> Hi, having some issues with my ubuntu. I was running xp in virtual box, trying to get a windows only program running, and now gnome is entirely unresponsivel to keyboard inputs and mouse clicks
[04:16] <dumle29_irssi> mouse cursor moves. Music from soundcloud plays, irc in my gui client scrolls by neatly
[04:17] <dumle29_irssi> It's worth to mention as well, that I'm also putting windows 10 on a flashdrive
[04:17] <dumle29_irssi> I'm currently in the terminal (ctrl+alt+f1)

[04:17] <zykotick9> Bashing-om: thank you so much!
[04:17] <dumle29_irssi> any pointers on how I can get gnome back?
[04:20] <Viking667> hm. I'm reminded of something-task-gnome-desktop...
[04:20] <dumle29_irssi> I've killed the xp vm box via kill -9
[04:20] <dumle29_irssi> still no dice
[04:20] <dumle29_irssi> Viking667: Could I kill that and start it again?
[04:20] <ProbablyAndy> dumle29_irssi: if you run top, is there anything sitting at teh top of the list, eating up cpu?
[04:20] <Bashing-om> RNeville: Humm, do not know where it failed try again ' sudo dpkg -P linux-image-3.19.0-{28,30,31,33}-generic ' .
[04:20] <dumle29_irssi> ProbablyAndy: Let me check
[04:21] <Viking667> and yes, in this case I probably won't be much help
[04:21] <Viking667> (that was to dumle29_irssi
[04:21] <dumle29_irssi> ProbablyAndy: Java is
[04:21] <ProbablyAndy> hmm
[04:21] <ProbablyAndy> you might try killing that
[04:21] <ProbablyAndy> i think its running the virtualbox gui
[04:21] <Bashing-om> zykotick9: :) , one for all and all for 1 .
[04:21] <Viking667> but to install gnome-desktop, sudo apt-get install gnome-shell ubuntu-gnome-desktop

[04:23] <ProbablyAndy> whats at the top of top now?
[04:24] <dumle29_irssi> ProbablyAndy: chromium
[04:24] <dumle29_irssi> but that's fair

[04:47] <inteus> dumle29_irssi: just in case chrome is using java for some reason
[04:48] <inteus> the music player in chrome, does it use java?
[04:48] <dumle29_irssi> maybe
[04:48] <dumle29_irssi> it's soundcloud
[04:48] <dumle29_irssi> plays fine, no hitching or anything
[04:48] <ProbablyAndy> looks like java is running freenet
[04:48] <dumle29_irssi> aahh
[04:48] <dumle29_irssi> fuck that. where to kill? :P
[04:49] <ProbablyAndy> i dunno.  it was that java process.  is it a system service?  maybe its getting relaunched automagically.
[04:49] <dumle29_irssi> I installed it, and found out it was pretty much deadly slow, and 30% CP, so no thanks
[04:49] <ProbablyAndy> thats a systemd thing, right?  to relaunch processes that have crashed?
[04:49] <dumle29_irssi> freenet is a bit-torrent browser
[04:49] <dumle29_irssi> kinda thing. Websites hosted in bit-torrent fashion
[04:50] <ProbablyAndy> ah interesting.
[04:50] <dumle29_irssi> I don't hope systemd is doing that.
[04:50] <dumle29_irssi> I can see if it's a known service
[04:52] <dumle29_irssi> Doesn't seem so
[04:52] <dumle29_irssi> I killed the freenode pid
[04:52] <dumle29_irssi> theat other java thing still keeps coming back
[04:53] <ProbablyAndy> does "crontab -l" show anything?
[04:53] <ProbablyAndy> perhaps sudo crontab -l
[04:54] <DuelBootHelp> Hello. I have Ubuntu intsalled as my primary system, but would like to duel boot Windows. Is this possible with Ubuntu installed first?
[04:54] <georgewhite> DuelBootHelp: You’d need to resize your Ubuntu partition using a Ubuntu live disc
[04:55] <dumle29_irssi> ProbablyAndy: If you look at the javathing running the freenet
[04:55] <dumle29_irssi> ProbablyAndy: See how there's a pid listed? in the 1500s
[04:55] <georgewhite> DuelBootHelp: before you install Windows
[04:55] <dumle29_irssi> I killed that, and the runaway process, seesm to not be coming back now. Let's see if gnome works
[04:56] <georgewhite> DuelBootHelp: (Windows can’t resize Ubuntu’s partitions)
[04:56] <georgewhite> DuelBootHelp: Use GParted to do this
[04:56] <DuelBootHelp> ok
[04:56] <DuelBootHelp> so one sec
[04:56] <Dumle29> Aaaand I'M BACK!
[04:56] <Dumle29> yay :D
[04:56] <DuelBootHelp> I have an ubuntu live disk and my windows disk
[04:56] <Dumle29> this time I fixed it instead of force rebooting :D
[04:56] <DuelBootHelp> now what I need to do is boot into ubuntu live disk, correct??
[04:56] <ProbablyAndy> Dumle29: sweet.
[04:57] <ProbablyAndy> and i learned more about looking at the whole command thats running :D
[04:57] <georgewhite> DuelBootHelp: yes, and then, once Windows is installed, boot to your Live disk again and follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[04:57] <DuelBootHelp> ty ty
[04:57] <georgewhite> DuelBootHelp: You’re welcome.
[04:58] <yanivkalfa> I've checked out a repository from github today, the repository had several folders and files with different permission is there a way to set all of the file permission for the entire repository ?
[04:58] <Dylan____>  How do you become a fourm moderator for ubuntu fourms?
[04:58] <georgewhite> yanivkalfa: chmod -R?
[04:59] <Dumle29> ProbablyAndy: Just for clousure :) http://paste.ubuntu.com/13953914/ line 151
[04:59] <yanivkalfa> georgewhite, We've tried that
[04:59] <Dylan____> !patience
[04:59] <yanivkalfa> didnt seem to effect the right files
[04:59] <yanivkalfa> we changed owner and mod
[04:59] <Dumle29> ProbablyAndy: That's the one that kept reviving the java of death
[04:59] <georgewhite> yanivkalfa: Then there might be ACLs.
[04:59] <Dumle29> thanks a lot for the help :)
[05:00] <georgewhite> yanivkalfa: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissionsACLs
[05:00] <lorddaedra> hello) how to emulate WORM functionality for HDD/SSD?
[05:00] <lorddaedra> (WORM = Write Once Read Many, so it's protection from removing files from disc after they were copied to disc once)
[05:00] <yanivkalfa> georgewhite, Will read that
[05:01] <georgewhite> Just clear all of the ACLs in that repository
[05:01] <georgewhite> and try again
[05:01] <ProbablyAndy> Dumle29: anytime, was a fun one.  It was nice to work with someone patient.
[05:01] <Dumle29> ProbablyAndy: I could say the same back :P
[05:02] <Dumle29> but you guys in here are always so danm patient :P
[05:03] <ProbablyAndy> i'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)
[05:04] <Dumle29> Heh, the funny  / sad thing, is that this is tons friendlier and better than windows livechat
[05:05] <Dumle29> which I've had to deal with once
[05:05] <Dumle29> because of a stupid dumb bug in windows
[05:06] <Dumle29> I 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] <Dumle29> Oh well, that's the off topic for me in here. I've heard they prefer that over in #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[05:06] <yanivkalfa> does file permission stay in github ?
[05:06] <yanivkalfa> Like say i make a repo locally then push it github
[05:07] <Dumle29> test time :)
[05:07] <Dumle29> if they are stored on a linux file system, and aren't altered at githubs servers, then they should retain permissions
[05:09] <Jaxkr> So 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] <Jaxkr> What's the best way to disable mouse acceleration in a persistent way if you have an unsupported mouse?
[05:09] <Dumle29> hmm. you could hook it to a cronjob that runs at login
[05:09] <Dumle29> don't remember if there's an @ for that
[05:10] <Jaxkr> but does a login cron run when waking from suspend?
[05:10] <Dumle29> hmm, don't thin so :/
[05:10] <Jaxkr> Yeah.
[05:10] <staticsn0w> guys i need some help :/
[05:11] <ProbablyAndy> it used to be that there were hooks in /etc/acpid, but that was a while ago.  there should be some kind of resume hook though
[05:11] <slidinghorn> Jaxkr: 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 home
[05:11] <Jaxkr> hm, so crontab is the answer? Are you sure there isn't a conf file somewhere that controls x sensitivity.
[05:11] <Jaxkr> slidinghorn, thanks! I'll take a google.
[05:11] <Jaxkr> staticsn0w, ask away.
[05:11] <ProbablyAndy> you can't have the whole google
[05:12] <ProbablyAndy> that would be silly
[05:12] <Jaxkr> wathc me.
[05:12] <staticsn0w> so i just reinstalled ubuntu on my pc cause something must have corupted, and now i have to go in to my boot menu and select the "ubuntu" option under UEFI
[05:12] <ProbablyAndy> lol
[05:12] <staticsn0w> it wont boot in to grub
[05:13] <staticsn0w> i have a dell insperon 3520
[05:13] <Jaxkr> well, that's a rather complex issue.
[05:13] <Jaxkr> there are a lot of things that could be causing that.
[05:13] <staticsn0w> :/
[05:13] <georgewhite> staticsn0w: Try booting a Live disk and running Boot Repair
[05:13] <staticsn0w> ok
[05:13] <Jaxkr> have you tried pulling up your bios boot menu
[05:14] <staticsn0w> when i boot my pc it goes in to some psx boot rom or something like that
[05:14] <georgewhite> staticsn0w: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[05:14] <staticsn0w> ok thanks
[05:14] <Jaxkr> So 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?
[05:18] <staticsn0w> fixed it!
[05:18] <staticsn0w> i just set my default boot options to UEFI instead of Legacy :P
[05:19] <Jaxkr> Yay!
[05:19] <georgewhite> staticsn0w: good to know it’s fixed!
[05:19] <staticsn0w> now i dont get grub, but it goes right in to ubuntu! which is VERY convenient for me :D
[05:19] <Jaxkr> So if anyone has a mouse solution that isn't a script let me know.
[05:19] <Jaxkr> staticsn0w, grub just lets you pick your operating system. pretty simple. :)
[05:20] <staticsn0w> dont need it
[05:20] <staticsn0w> but im very happy this works now
[05:20] <staticsn0w> i bricked my pc earlier because i coorrupted grub and ubuntu
[05:20] <staticsn0w> just got a live usb today (which took me HOURS to make since i used wine on a mac)
[05:21] <Jaxkr> staticsn0w, what.
[05:21] <georgewhite> Jaxkr: 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-sensitivity
[05:21] <Jaxkr> you know you can make a boot usb on mac natively.
[05:21] <staticsn0w> i didnt have the admin pass for it by the way
[05:22] <georgewhite> Yeah. dd requires an admin account.
[05:22] <staticsn0w> so i had to find a workaround, which happened to be UNETbootin for win
[05:22] <staticsn0w> :P
[05:22] <Jaxkr> you can get admin on any mac really easy
[05:22] <Jaxkr> just hold control s on bootup
[05:22] <Jaxkr> mount the drive
[05:22] <staticsn0w> didnt feel like doing that
[05:22] <staticsn0w> oh ok
[05:22] <Jaxkr> then rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
[05:22] <Jaxkr> ez admin.
[05:23] <staticsn0w> im gonna ask the guy who lended me this usb key if i can keep it for a backup lol
[05:23] <georgewhite> Jaxkr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MouseCustomizations follow this guide for configuring Xorg’s mouse setting
[05:24] <georgewhite> Jaxkr: and these are the settings that you want: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mouse_acceleration
[05:24] <Jaxkr> oh yeah I tried this.
[05:24] <Jaxkr> Do I have to create those files?
[05:24] <Jaxkr> They do not exist.
[05:25] <georgewhite> Jaxkr: yes
[05:25] <georgewhite> The 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] <georgewhite> Jaxkr: so it’s probably best to follow the last section
[05:26] <staticsn0w> ive got to retheme my pc now rofl
[05:27] <georgewhite> Jaxkr: because it supports newer Xorg versions.
[05:28] <staticsn0w> and install everything again....
[05:28] <staticsn0w> lolllll
[05:29] <Jack3k3> so 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 screen
[05:30] <Jack3k3> i 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] <staticsn0w> Jack3k3 happened to me before, reinstall ubuntu
[05:30] <ProbablyAndy> Jack3k3:  what does "grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log" show you ?
[05:31] <Jack3k3> No devices detected. Failed to load module "nv
[05:31] <Jack3k3> No 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] <georgewhite> staticsn0w: I don’t think you need to do that! That’s a bit drastic!
[05:31] <ProbablyAndy> if you run "lsmod", is nvidia listed?
[05:32] <staticsn0w> guys, some of th default sources are giving 404s :(
[05:32] <georgewhite> staticsn0w: What do you mean?
[05:32] <georgewhite> staticsn0w: in apt?
[05:32] <Jack3k3> it is not listed, however nouveau is
[05:32] <ProbablyAndy> interesting
[05:33] <georgewhite> staticsn0w: It’s probably because you need to run apt-get update
[05:33] <ProbablyAndy> so if you do "sudo modprobe -r nouveau && modprobe nvidia"... what does it say?
[05:33] <ProbablyAndy> erm, sudo modprobe nvidia
[05:33]  * ProbablyAndy is out of the sudo habit
[05:34] <Jack3k3> Well i ran those separately and for the nouveau one it said FATAL: module nouveau is in use
[05:35] <Jack3k3> while for the nvidia one it just returned without saying anything
[05:35] <ProbablyAndy> it sort of sounds like the xorg nvidia driver got installed, the kernel nvidia driver didn't, and nouveau is getting loaded anyway.
[05:35] <georgewhite> Jack3k3: If it returns nothing then that means the module was loaded successfully.
[05:35] <ProbablyAndy> whats the end of dmesg look like?
[05:36] <ProbablyAndy> maybe you just need to blacklist nouveau
[05:36] <ProbablyAndy> and then reboot
[05:38] <ojii> is 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 me
[05:39] <Bashing-om> !nomodeset | Jack3k3 Maybe ? :
[05:39] <Jack3k3> ProbablyAndy, no luck, I checked lsmod, noveau is not there now, so i did mobprobe -r nvidia and tried logging in without luck
[05:40] <Jack3k3> additionally lsmod still does not list nvidia
[05:40] <Abe> ojii: do you mean your router with hotspot? what are you trying can you be more specific?
[05:41] <ProbablyAndy> Bashing-om: isn't the nomodeset thing before you get to X?
[05:41] <staticsn0w> this iswhat i get when i run apt-get update: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13955517/
[05:41] <Jack3k3> yeah my login screen looks fine, its only once i login that it flashes and returns back to the login screen
[05:41] <staticsn0w> why is some of the default repos 404ing?
[05:41] <ojii> Abe, I want my ubuntu laptop to ask as an AP for my phone/other laptopt. it's connected to the internet via ethernet/pppoe
[05:42] <ProbablyAndy> Jack3k3: ooh.  that is weird.  so Xorg runs....probably using nouveau.  But your window manager is crashing
[05:42] <Jack3k3> pretty much
[05:42] <Bashing-om> ProbablyAndy: Yeah .. should load the FBvesa driver .
[05:42] <ProbablyAndy> which window manager?
[05:42] <Jack3k3> kdm
[05:44] <ojii> Abe, "act as an", not ask. basically i want to be able to connect to the internet from my phone via my ubuntu laptop
[05:44] <Abe> ojii: If you cannot open the gui try opening it with " nm-connection-editor "
[05:45] <ojii> Abe, i guess I then hit "add"->"wifi"->"create"?
[05:46] <staticsn0w> also a bunch of dependencies are missing
[05:46] <staticsn0w> how do i fully update ubuntu?
[05:46] <buaya> test
[05:46] <georgewhite> staticsn0w: utopic simply isn’t supported by that US archive for some reason (http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/)
[05:46] <staticsn0w> like, without making a live usb etc
[05:46] <Abe> ojii: I am reading into it right now by myself I am not connected to my phone
[05:46] <ojii> okay thanks
[05:47] <Jack3k3> this is the guide I followed that broke it :\

[05:47] <SeriouslyLaugh> !update | staticsn0w
[05:47] <staticsn0w> and im scared to make a new live usb i fear that im writing to it too much
[05:47] <staticsn0w> oh thanks
[05:47] <SeriouslyLaugh> staticsn0w run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:47] <georgewhite> staticsn0w: it in Software Sources!
[05:47] <staticsn0w> awesome thanks
[05:48] <ProbablyAndy> Jack3k3: a guide from 2013 - ballsy :D
[05:48] <georgewhite> staticsn0w: *change it in Software Sources
[05:48] <Abe> ojii: here read into it yourself it's just a translate but i'm reading the original
[05:48] <Abe> https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Howto/Hotspot_auf_PC_einrichten&prev=search
[05:48] <kostkon> staticsn0w, support has ended for utopic. You need to upgrade to a newer release.
[05:49] <staticsn0w> huh, ok! :P
[05:49] <staticsn0w> so just make a new live usb?
[05:49] <ojii> Abe, oh lucky, i can read german
[05:49] <Jack3k3> ProbablyAndy, haha yes, but to be fair im using Mint 14 which is ubuntu12 i believe so I was hoping itd be okay
[05:50] <staticsn0w> ojii kurzgesagt, tell me what that means :D
[05:50] <SeriouslyLaugh> staticsn0w http://www.noobslab.com/2015/04/how-to-upgrade-to-ubuntu-1504-vivid.html
[05:50] <SlidingHorn> !mint | Jack3k3
[05:50] <ProbablyAndy> Jack3k3: fair enough.  all i can think to do this time is start looking at the ends of the Xorg log files to maybe find some clues as to why your WM is grenading.
[05:51] <Abe> ojii: sorry
[05:51] <Jack3k3> okay ill give it a go thanks
[05:51] <SeriouslyLaugh> staticsn0w note I haven't personally done this so I can't offer any additional assistance
[05:51] <staticsn0w> lol ok
[05:52] <ojii> Abe, whelp "Error: Connection activation failed."
[05:52] <SeriouslyLaugh> staticsn0w also i've heard of people running into MANY issues upgrading from LTS to non-LTS
[05:52] <SeriouslyLaugh> so be careful
[05:52] <SeriouslyLaugh> a fresh install might be better, to be honest.
[05:52] <SeriouslyLaugh> but i could be wrong
[05:52] <staticsn0w> seriouslylaugh ill just reinstall completely lol
[05:52] <staticsn0w> yeah'
[05:52] <SlidingHorn> staticsn0w: remind me: what was your question?
[05:52] <SeriouslyLaugh> cool
[05:52] <ojii> oh should've read further down
[05:53] <Abe> ojii: do you have an android phone
[05:53] <ProbablyAndy> Jack3k3: another thought.  It could be that the WM configuration is somehow messed up.  If its KDE, you can sometimes do "mv ~/.kde ~/.kde.old" to reset the configuration and see if it works
[05:53]  * SlidingHorn was on his phone earlier, sorry
[05:53] <ojii> Abe, yes, somewhere
[05:53] <staticsn0w> SlidingHorn none now, its all good! :D
[05:53] <Abe> No is that the phone you wanna use ?
[05:53] <SlidingHorn> staticsn0w:  oh, good then :)
[05:53] <ojii> ideally i'd wanna use my iphone
[05:54] <staticsn0w> anyone know how to format a usb flashdrive on ubuntu?
[05:54] <georgewhite> Use GParted?
[05:54] <ojii> at the end of the day what I want to do is use my phone headset for a google hangout call, but my ubuntu laptop has split mic/headphones ports, so i want to use my phone instead, but don't want to waste all my 4G
[05:54] <georgewhite> or search for Disks staticsn0w
[05:54] <staticsn0w> ok :)
[05:54] <georgewhite> and use GNOME’s Disks tool (it should be installed in UbuntU)
[05:55] <georgewhite> *Ubuntu

[05:57] <Guest34639> Ubuntu not reading flash drive or my cell phone
[05:58] <Overlap> wwwd can you solve my prob ?
[05:59] <Kiddddd> Hello I'm on ubuntu and trying to install windows to duel boot. However when I shrunk my partition it says windows can't install on gpt partition. How do I format the unallocated space to mbr
[05:59] <Overlap> Ubuntu gone mad
[05:59] <wwwd> Overlap what the problem?
[05:59] <Kiddddd> I would really appreciated some help!
[05:59] <Overlap> since it received updates
[05:59] <Overlap> ubuntu not readung flash drive, or my cell phones
[05:59] <Overlap> launcher sets to default everytime system boots
[06:00] <Overlap> my wall paper changed
[06:00] <wwwd> kiddddd Used to be that you had to install windows first then install linux ...widows likes to be on the first sectors of the disk if I remember correctly.
[06:00] <Kiddddd> yes well I have installed ubuntu first
[06:00] <Kiddddd> so
[06:00] <Abe> ojii: type " nm-connection-editor " and try it with Ad-hoc you need the right connection settings for I phone
[06:01] <Overlap> yes you're right  wwwd
[06:01] <SeriouslyLaugh> Overlap are you sure you're logging into the right account? sounds like you're selecting Guest account when logging in
[06:01] <Overlap> obvioudly
[06:01] <Overlap> pbvious;y*
[06:01] <Overlap> obviously**
[06:01] <Overlap> by the way, cool nick SeriouslyLaugh
[06:01] <Overlap> :)
[06:01] <SeriouslyLaugh> ty
[06:02] <wwwd> So I think the easiest thing is to back up any files you have. install windows. Then install linux restore your files.
[06:02] <Overlap> Now seriously pay heed to my prob :P
[06:02] <SeriouslyLaugh> [01:01:03]  <SeriouslyLaugh>	Overlap are you sure you're logging into the right account? sounds like you're selecting Guest account when logging in
[06:03] <Abe> ojii: I don't use ubuntu my settings are a little different
[06:03] <Overlap> no no !  I am using my own account. I can watch my files
[06:03] <Overlap> in my directory
[06:03] <SeriouslyLaugh> ok then i have no idea, sorry
[06:03] <ojii> Abe, after adding the ad hoc wifi, how do i start it?
[06:03] <holucon> So....when I run deluged, this happens on my router
[06:03] <holucon> http://i.imgur.com/RubAVPf.png
[06:03] <Overlap> no prob @Seriously :)
[06:04] <holucon> any idea what could possibly be causing the connections to not clear?
[06:04] <wwwd> So my problem, which is new for me...I have an external hd where, by the way I have files backed up. When I try an cp -r from my hd it starts cping then kicks bash crashes and I am kicked out to the log in. I have tried cp -r with both sudo and without.
[06:05] <SeriouslyLaugh> wwwd are you able to paste the exact errors?
[06:05] <SeriouslyLaugh> !paste
[06:06] <ojii> Abe, I thinkI found my problem, nm-connection-editor was spamming "Invalid setting Wi-Fi Security: Invalid Wi-Fi security" in the console. created an ad-hoc without security and it works
[06:06] <wwwd> SeriouslyLaugh: I'm not getting any. Just kills the bash terminal and kicks me back to the login screen...never seen anything like this before.
[06:06] <ojii> hope my neighbors enjoy free wifi
[06:07] <SeriouslyLaugh> oh sorry wwwd i misread your question
[06:07] <SeriouslyLaugh> weird
[06:07] <ojii> thanks for your help Abe
[06:08] <Abe> Did it work with ad-hoc good i'm glad
[06:08] <ojii> Abe, seems to work
[06:08] <ojii> let me double-check it's not using cellular
[06:09] <SeriouslyLaugh> wwwd one idea I just had...maybe drop into another TTY and try copying from there?
[06:09] <SeriouslyLaugh> ctrl+alt+f3 for example
[06:09] <SeriouslyLaugh> ctrl+alt+f7 to switch back to the GUI TTY
[06:10] <Overlap> may be redirect standard error to a file in your home directory
[06:11] <ojii> yep worked
[06:11] <wwwd> SeriouslyLaugh: I can try.
[06:11] <SeriouslyLaugh> if there's no bash window to crash, i'm thinking maybe it'll force at least some kind of output
[06:12] <Overlap> so before it kicks you out, it will throw error in that file
[06:12] <Overlap> :/
[06:12] <Overlap> Just  Alt + F7  will also work SeriouslyLaugh
[06:12] <Overlap> Is there any other ubuntu channel as well ?
[06:14] <SeriouslyLaugh> thanks Overlap
[06:15] <SeriouslyLaugh> !ot
[06:15] <Overlap> What for ? @SeriouslyLaugh
[06:15] <SeriouslyLaugh> there's also #ubuntu-discuss
[06:16] <SeriouslyLaugh> just used that trigger to show the OT channel
[06:16] <Overlap> ok @seriouslyLaugh
[06:17] <wwwd> SeriouslyLaugh: That seems to be working though it makes me a little nervous that my terminal is crashing when I try an do a simple cp. Any idea what might cause this?
[06:18] <Jack3k3> ProbablyAndy, I think I figured out whats going on
[06:18]  * SeriouslyLaugh shrugs
[06:18] <ProbablyAndy> Jack3k3: gnomes?
[06:18] <SeriouslyLaugh> pixies?
[06:18] <Overlap> Did it not throw any errors ? (your console)
[06:19] <Jack3k3> I have an intell cihpset witha display port that my monitor is on but I am installing drivers for my 9600GT card.according to inxi -xG X.org is using intel drivers (with nvidia/fbdev/vesa unloaded)
[06:19] <Jack3k3> so I wonder if theres some conflict between the two
[06:19] <wwwd> Nothing. Just kicked me out.
[06:20] <ProbablyAndy> Jack3k3: interesting.  is this one of those optimus things where it is supposed to switch between the two for power saving purposes?
[06:20] <ProbablyAndy> Jack3k3: if it isn't, maybe you have to disable the intel card in the bios?
[06:21] <wwwd> And, as imporant...it is a new install of 14.04. Do I need to reinstall...that is, is the system corupted some how?
[06:21] <Overlap> 14.04 is having problems with updates
[06:21] <Jack3k3> yeah that might well be. Kinda problematic since my monitor only runs display port. At this point I'm fine with the nvidia card not working if i can just get the intel card working again
[06:22] <|Aquilon2> 14.04... Did you try 15.10 ?
[06:23] <Abe> Jack3k3: If u have a graphics card installed, why doesn't it show additional drivers in the system settings?
[06:24] <Jack3k3> Not sure about that
[06:26] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: what problems?
[06:26] <Abe> No sorry I ask wrong... does it show additional drivers in the system settings? idk it should
[06:27] <SlidingHorn> |Aquilon2: upgrading to non-LTS isn't a go-to response here...non-LTS releases are almost exclusively for people who need a new version of a particular software that didn't quite make it
[06:27] <Overlap> my system received updates; and now not reading flash drive, or any other USB device
[06:27] <Overlap> although kernel shows entry of the device : $sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog
[06:27] <wwwd> Aquilon2: No. Always figured the lts version would be the best. On a separate issue. And, I know this is not really an ubuntu question but I am getting no love anywhere else. I tried installing watchman to be used with ubuntu. It is not monitoring files and throws an error telling me I need to increase max_user_instances, max_user_watchers, and max_queued_events. Anyone happen to know what these settings are supposed to be?
[06:28] <wwwd> Sorry that should say be used with Ember...
[06:28] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: what is the usb device?
[06:28] <Overlap> flash drive
[06:28] <ProbablyAndy>  Overlap: have you restarted or logged out/in since the updates?  maybe the daemon that loads the usb drives got updated and isn't running
[06:29] <Overlap> I received updates 4 -5 days back
[06:29] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: okay, and which version & flavor of *buntu are you using?
[06:29] <Overlap> since then umpteen times
[06:29] <Overlap> 14.04
[06:29] <ProbablyAndy> aho k.
[06:30] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: cool - now...in your terminal:   sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade                 then, I want you to post the output of "lsusb" both before & after you've inserted the drive into a pastebin (http://paste.ubuntu.com for example)
[06:32] <Overlap> Sorry I was Away from keyboard; I'll do it, just wait @SlidingHorn
[06:39] <Jack3k3> so in Xorg's log I'm still getting "failed to load module "nvidia"" and "failed to load module "nv"" errors
[06:39] <Jack3k3> i've removed all of nvidia though
[06:39] <Jack3k3> nouveau shows under lsmod
[06:40] <Jack3k3> is there some way to tell X to stop trying to use nvidia?
[06:40] <Ben64> why do you not want to use nvidia? how did you install nvidia? how did you uninstall nvidia? does /etc/X11/xorg.conf exist
[06:42] <Overlap> SlidingHorn : before drive inserted:      http://paste.ubuntu.com/13956851/
[06:42] <Jack3k3> because my monitor is on an intel chipset. I installed via nvidia proprietary source + blacklisting. I uninstalled by --purging nvidia*,. Looks like xorg.conf does Not exist
[06:42] <Overlap> After driver inserted :    http://paste.ubuntu.com/13956883/
[06:42] <Overlap> You there SlidingHorn ?
[06:43] <Ben64> Jack3k3: monitor is on intel chipset? explain what you mean by proprietary source + blacklisting
[06:43] <Overlap> how to pop up msg on SlidingHorn's screen (notification)  @Ben64
[06:44] <Overlap> He asked for the o/p of a command
[06:44] <Ben64> Overlap: you've already done it
[06:44] <Jack3k3> Ben64, my monitor is connnected to displayport which is built in on the monitor with an intel chipset. I originally was trying to install nvidia drivers since I have a 9600GT pci expres card but at this point I just want my system working again and dont care about that
[06:44] <Overlap> when to address someone like you just did to me ?
[06:44] <Overlap> your name appeared in yellow
[06:45] <bazhang> !tab | Overlap
[06:45] <Overlap> how to *
[06:45] <Overlap> ok :)
[06:45] <Jack3k3> Ben64, 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] <Jack3k3> after doing all this I got stuck in a login loop
[06:45] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: 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?
[06:46] <Ben64> Jack3k3: yeah you shouldn't install from the website, nvidia drivers are in ubuntu repositories
[06:46] <Jack3k3> ah :\
[06:46] <Overlap> yes, I made it bootable on Ubuntu 14.04 (my friend's PC)
[06:47] <wwwd> bazhang: Sorry I missed some of this because my laptop kicked me off my wi-fi. What is bang tab?
[06:47] <Ben64> Jack3k3: to remove you'd have to check the the options of the installer or the website or something
[06:47] <wwwd> and "@"Ben?
[06:48] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: 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)
[06:49] <Overlap> Actually, ubuntu is unable to detect it and other devices before I made it bootable
[06:49] <Overlap> Even my launcher it set ot default
[06:49] <Overlap> my destop is set to default
[06:50] <Overlap> wwwd, bang tan is I guess simple <Tab> key
[06:50] <Overlap> it completes the partially entered command
[06:52] <Overlap> No other device is mounting on the file system tree SlidingHorn
[06:52] <Overlap> I have to do it manually, with the help of tail -f /var/log/syslog
[06:52] <Overlap> and then mount -t 4......
[06:53] <wwwd> Overlap: I just caught your question about poping up a message on a users screen. How do I do that and is it considered polite on IRC?
[06:54] <Overlap> Actually, i was not talking about initiating a private chat
[06:54] <Overlap> I was asking to leave a notification on the screen of slidin horn
[06:55] <SlidingHorn> wwwd: just ask your questions in great detail in the chat...do not single out a particuar volunteer...if someone can help, they will.  do not PM someone without their permission...the goal is to keep support in the chat for future reference & to make sure you dont' get bad advice in a PM
[06:56] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: I'm sorry, but you didn't really answer my question....are you trying to view the contents of this drive?  boot from it?  format it?
[06:56] <bazhang> use the tab key Overlap , slid<tab>
[06:56] <Overlap> I am trying to copy data to it
[06:56] <sas93> hello all
[06:56] <Overlap> but it is not mounted on the file system tree
[06:57] <Overlap> ok gotcha bazhang
[06:57] <Overlap> thanx
[06:57] <sas93> so i tried installing ubuntu today and i am having some trouble, anyone hear know about bootloaders?
[06:57] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: okay...but you said this is a bootable USB...did you follow instructions to make a *persistent* USB installation of Ubuntu?
[06:57] <bazhang> np
[06:57] <wwwd> SlidingHorn: Ok. Wondered about that. Thanks!
[06:57] <Overlap> SlidingHorn, I tried other flash drives as well
[06:57] <Overlap> normal flash drives
[06:58] <Overlap> but Ubuntu is not showing it on the laucher ( not mounting them)
[06:58] <SlidingHorn> Overlap:  what about, say...a USB mouse?  Does Ubuntu capture it using the same USB port?
[07:00] <Jack3k3> okay what the heck
[07:00] <Overlap> SlidingHorn, surprisingly yes
[07:00] <wwwd> All have a good night and thanks again for the help!
[07:00] <Overlap> SlidingHorn, catching mouse
[07:00] <Jack3k3> I pulled out the nvidia card and its still returning to the login screen when I login
[07:00] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: okay, well then we've at least eliminated the possibility of the port being dead...
[07:00] <Jack3k3> But now if i check inxi -Gx there are no failures, just drivers for X are intel (as expecteD)
[07:00] <Jack3k3> and if I check Xorg log, there are no errors
[07:01] <Ben64> try logging in as guest Jack3k3
[07:01] <Overlap> port is n't dead, currently I am charging my cellphone on that port
[07:02] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: 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 us
[07:02] <Jack3k3> Ben64 I dont have that option
[07:02] <Overlap> ok
[07:03] <SlidingHorn> off-topic, but I just found my beer...this will make things easier ;)
[07:03] <Overlap> :)
[07:04] <sas93> is a 32 bit bootloader possible?
[07:04] <Jack3k3> Ben64, I added a guest account and tried, same issue though
[07:04] <Ben64> pastebin the xorg log
[07:04] <SlidingHorn> sas93: looking at your past few posts, I can't put together what you're asking...
[07:05] <SlidingHorn> !detail | sas93
[07:05] <SlidingHorn> !details | sas93
[07:05] <sas93> i have a efi that won't let me boot using usb because its 32 bit on windows 10 64 bit
[07:06] <sas93> so i can't get ubuntu to start in efi usb
[07:06] <Overlap> SlidingHorn, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13957373/
[07:06] <Jack3k3> Ben64 i dont really have the ability to paste to the internet on this machine. however im looking at the kdm log now. I see this:
[07:06] <SlidingHorn> sas93: which version of ubuntu are you trying to boot, and on what meda?
[07:06] <Overlap> SlidingHorn, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13957403/
[07:06] <Jack3k3> "Klauncher kdemain: No DBUS session-bus found. Check if you have started the DBUS server. Kdeinit4: Communication error with launcher, exiting!
[07:07] <sas93> i tried 14.04 and 15.10 on a usb using unetbootin, rufus and lili usb creator to no avail
[07:07] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: good news...I can tell that that's an 8gb drive ;)  Ubuntu knows what it is...now to get to mounting it!
[07:07] <Overlap> SlidingHorn, fdisk -l command simply returning the commmand prompt
[07:08] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: sorry..fdisk requires sudo
[07:09] <SlidingHorn> sas93: why are you trying 32 bit ubuntu, might i ask?
[07:10] <Overlap> SlidingHorn, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13957494/
[07:10] <sas93> i tried both the 64 bit and i386 versions but efi won't recognize the usb, i even tried mbr and gpt in the rufus
[07:10] <Overlap> SlidingHorn, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13957475/
[07:11] <Overlap> SlidingHorn,  just for info, I can manually mount the device using mount command
[07:11] <tgm4883> sas93: you've got to load a 32-bit EFI on your 64-bit ISO
[07:11] <Overlap> but it isn't happening on its own as it used to be
[07:11] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: we'll do what we can to do it automatically
[07:11] <Overlap> :)
[07:11] <sas93> hmm
[07:12] <SlidingHorn> sas93: 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] <sas93> sounds like i should just scrap the idea and get a 64 bit efi device
[07:13] <sas93> i tried with secure boot off and on, legacy mode isn't on the device
[07:13] <sas93> lenovo ideapad 100s-11iby
[07:13] <SlidingHorn> sas93: with the USB plugged in, IN WINDOWS, go to Menu > Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > and select "Restart Now" under Advanced startup...when it asks how to start up, select "use a device" then select your USB
[07:14] <sas93> ya when i do that i get a message that usb boot isn't on this device
[07:14] <tgm4883> SlidingHorn: the issue is his EFI only support 32-bit
[07:14] <inflatus> while troubleshooting a hash error using apt-get update i removed the keys for upubuntu-com-ubuntu-system-vivid.list / how do get the public ke back?
[07:16] <sas93> thanks ppl
[07:17] <zero> nick Overlap
[07:18] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: did Ubuntu ever detect USB flash drives for you before?  i.e. is this something brand new?
[07:19] <Overlap> It used to detect always
[07:19] <Overlap> noting new except updates :P
[07:19] <Overlap> nothing*
[07:20] <Overlap> When I am asked for login, my wallpaper is as I set , black, but after logging, it is automatically set to default
[07:20] <Overlap> I tries to Auto hide launcher from Setting
[07:20] <Overlap> But that also not working
[07:21] <Overlap> plus, If I arrange my icons on the desktop, they are set to default location after every login
[07:21] <Overlap> login after boot, SlidingHorn
[07:21] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: this is from an old solution, but maybe it will help...add "usb_storage" (no quotes) to the end of /etc/modules:    sudo nano /etc/modules    or    sudo vi /etc/modules   (depends on your editor of choice)
[07:22] <Overlap> 'vi'
[07:22] <Overlap> ;)
[07:22] <Overlap> there are only two entries in that file
[07:22] <Overlap> lp
[07:22] <Overlap> rtc
[07:23] <Overlap> that's all
[07:23] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: make a third -  usb_storage
[07:23] <Overlap> did it
[07:23] <SlidingHorn> :wq & restart
[07:23] <Overlap> reboot system ??
[07:23] <SlidingHorn> yep...I'll wait here if youre on that machine now :)
[07:23] <Overlap> ZZ
[07:24] <SlidingHorn> (might have a cigarette, though...brb)
[07:24] <Overlap> I am on that machine
[07:28] <Overlap> SlidingHorn, still not mounting
[07:30] <Overlap> off the topic, Us and Them; And after all , we're only ordinary men
[07:33] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: okay...at this point, all I can say is to pastebin the output of      tail -f /var/log/dmesg       while you plug it in...I'm probably going to bed in a sec, but post that pastebin along with your problem that your USB flash drive isn't automounting with ubuntu 14.04
[07:34] <Overlap> okay, thankx for giving time :)
[07:34] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: Don't give up on it...just wait til someone more sober & awake comes along and that info should help them ;)

[08:09] <utu8o> the Kangaroo Desktop PC is an incredible value for only $99 you guy a complete PC with full Windows 10, cheaper than buying Windows 10 alone! My question is can Ubuntu install and run well on this PC? I heard the Kangaroo has proprietary hardware...
[08:09] <utu8o> here is what i'm talking about http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883722001
[08:09] <cfhowlett> utu8o, if it boots windows, it'll boot ubuntu
[08:11] <utu8o> cfedde, i'm wondering about hardware compatibility, for example it only outputs audio via HDMI
[08:11] <utu8o> it also has a finger print reader
[08:11] <Ben64> its slow
[08:12] <utu8o> will the bluetooth and WIFI work with Ubuntu?
[08:12] <cfhowlett> utu8o, finger print readers are not fully hacked yet so far as I know.  hdmi takes a bit of work to set up but is doable.  For $99, order it and see for yourself.

[09:20] <eghdk_> I installed ubuntu in a virtual machine. I was using it with no issues. Then today I shut it down, and I tried booting it up. After I type in my password, the desktop logs in, says theres an error and kicks me out to login screen. Any ideas how to fix this?
[09:26] <SlidingHorn> yerm: :)  I'm sorry, I wasn't clear.  What I want you to post to the channel is - 1. A detailed description of what you are trying to do (e.g. I'm trying to install <package>) 2. What is going wrong (e.g. but I'm getting <error>)  3.  A pastebin containing the ENTIRE output of both the command you entered to encounter the error, as well as the FULL error itself. (e.g. You can see what I tried to do here: <link>)  4.  Which versio
[09:26] <SlidingHorn> n/flavor of ubuntu (e.g. I'm using Xubuntu 14.04 LTS)
[09:29] <ignis-fatuus> SlidingHorn: an ideas as to my hanging shuitdown problem?
[09:30] <yerm> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13960625/
[09:31] <SlidingHorn> ignis-fatuus: what happened when you did sudo shutdown -h now  ? (need to know that exact command's behavior)
[09:31] <SlidingHorn> yerm: you're not listening to me.
[09:32] <yerm> oooo sorry
[09:33] <ignis-fatuus> SlidingHorn: black screen with a blinking cursor. After 2 minutes I get errors saying that various tasks are being blocked
[09:33] <robotics> is the difference between "now" and "0" values in shutdown -h command?
[09:34] <SlidingHorn> ignis-fatuus: what is the exact error/message you see?  any chance to screenshot/copy/take a picture?
[09:34] <ignis-fatuus> SlidingHorn: also say Tainted: P OE 3.19.0-031900-generic
[09:35] <SlidingHorn> no...the WHOLE thing...
[09:35] <SlidingHorn> everything after you typed    sudo shutdown -h now
[09:36] <ignis-fatuus> SlidingHorn: will shut it down now and type everything out -- can't take a screenshot
[09:39] <nishant> hi any one can help me "how to install mmx210g modem in ubuntu 15.04
[09:42] <georgewhite> nishant: are you sure there is a Linux driver for your modem?

[09:46] <nishant> and now my web cam is also not working
[09:47] <georgewhite> nishant: maybe it needs to be run in the Terminal?
[09:47] <nishant> how
[09:48] <georgewhite> i.e. drag the relevant installation script/program in to the Terminal window and press Enter

[09:58] <panagos> hi all
[09:59] <panagos> have a hosted server which is using mucho bandwidth
[10:00] <panagos> installed ntop and from the gui over the last 5-6 hours, i see "Netbios-IP" being responsible for about 25%
[10:00] <panagos> approximatelty 510 mb
[10:00] <panagos> any ideas as to waht the issue may be?
[10:01] <pcarrier> can I disable a repo in apt-file? there's one that 403s on the files apt-file requests, and apt-file update fails.
[10:02] <trympaxx> Why pcarrier
[10:03] <pcarrier> trympaxx: why would I want to disable it? so that apt-file just skips the repository and stops failing, so I can use apt-file?
[10:03] <nishant> hi,
[10:04] <nishant> i cannt be able to install mmx modem even by using wine
[10:05] <panagos> does anyone else have experience with this?  the OS is  "ubuntu 12.04 server"
[10:06] <georgewhite> panagos: have you run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade?
[10:07] <nishant> does any one has knowledge about modem installation, it is of micromax mmx210g
[10:07] <akik> panagos: which ports are being used?
[10:08] <pod__> What is the point of the ternmial seems kind of pointless
[10:09] <panagos> georgewhite: yes i did
[10:09] <akik> pod__: it's not pointless. do you have a support question?
[10:09] <panagos> when i log in now, everything is up to date
[10:09] <panagos> akik: I presume you want me to run a netstat -an?
[10:10] <georgewhite> panagos: Yes.
[10:10] <panagos> ok cool... lemme do that :)
[10:10] <akik> panagos: netstat will show the connections, yes. iptraf couöd be useful too
[10:12] <akik> iptraf collects the statistics while it's running so you can easily spot the runaway connection
[10:12] <panagos> ok i have run iptraf
[10:12] <ignis-fatuus> SlidingHorn: any other info be help?
[10:13] <akik> panagos: are you running a samba server?
[10:13] <panagos> akik: i am not supposed to be i dont believe
[10:14] <akik> panagos: netbios refers to windows protocols
[10:14] <panagos> i yeah
[10:15] <thepeter> Hi what is the way to have sync between touch and PC version of ubuntu please? (would be the best to do it via usb cable of course)
[10:16] <panagos> akik: the only thing I can obvioulsy see is my SSH connection being very very busy
[10:18] <panagos> akik: I guess I can install all traces of samba
[10:18] <panagos> becuase i think nmblookup is the culprit here...
[10:20] <akik> panagos: did you find the connections in iptraf? it would show the destination address
[10:22] <ignis-fatuus> whois SlidingHorn
[10:23] <panagos> akik: ok im looking at a screen which is split into two. on the top I have  of TCP connections on the top
[10:24] <panagos> akik: on the bottom looks crazy set of UDP transmisssions being logged
[10:24] <panagos> I also uninstalled all traces samba so now nmblookup no longer works
[10:24] <georgewhite> panagos: you could try tcpdump also to see these packets
[10:24] <georgewhite> panagos: and download the dumped file and open it in Wireshark on your computer
[10:25] <panagos> if i look at the udb packets... lots of connections happening on port 137
[10:25] <sebastian_> hi, can someone help me with an usb 3.0 issue?
[10:25] <panagos> UDP (78 bytes) from 41.76.213.157:137 to 41.76.215.255:137 on eth0
[10:26] <georgewhite> sebastian_: what is your issue?
[10:26] <akik> panagos: i usually use the ip traffic monitor page with all interfaces. then it's easy to use the s (sort) to get the biggest network usage on top
[10:26] <panagos> akik: yeah, at the top is my ssh session
[10:26] <sebastian_> resoldered a ps4 eye camera which works fine at my work, but at home I get a "now enough bandwidth for new device state" error
[10:27] <panagos> i suspect the issue here is the UDP issue
[10:27] <sebastian_> even bought a new usb 3.0 pcie card
[10:29] <e_n_t_r_o_p_y> dcc ignis-fatuus
[10:29] <panagos> i susepct i should just block all traffic on port 137 using the built in firewall?
[10:29] <akik> panagos: "sudo lsof -i" could be also useful. it will also list the ports that you have listening
[10:30] <panagos> akik: lemme check :)
[10:30] <timblechmann> hi ... i'm trying to install ubuntu on a dell xps with uefi as dual boot with win10 ... though ubuntu doesn't show up in the uefi boot menu. when i'm tring to chroot into the installed system, i figured out that grub-pc was installed ... have replaced it with grub-efi-amd64 ... though it complains that i doesn't find a grub device for /dev/mmcblk0p1 ... though i've installed ubuntu on /dev/nvme0n1 ...
[10:30] <timblechmann> any idea how to proceed?
[10:31] <sebastian_> georgwhite: Any idea how to get the camera working?
[10:33] <georgewhite> sebastian_: sorry I had to go and do somethign
[10:33] <panagos> akik: done that... nothing out of the ordinaty pops out on the list
[10:34] <panagos> if i filter on udp, i see postgres, squid3, and ntpd
[10:34] <georgewhite> sebastian_: have you tried the suggestions to the first answer on http://superuser.com/questions/731751/not-enough-host-controller-resources-for-new-device-state
[10:34] <akik> panagos: then continue surveying for another 5-6 hours :)
[10:34] <amnix> hey will using the intel graphics installer from https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/intel-graphics-installer-linux-1.2.1 improve graphics performance on my machine?
[10:34] <panagos> akik: simplest way to block a given port (both in and out)? on ubuntu 12.04?
[10:35] <akik> panagos: if it has ufw, that
[10:36] <akik> probably will have as it's still supported
[10:36] <panagos> yeah but i don't believe it is currently installed
[10:36] <panagos> lemme check
[10:36] <panagos> ok it is installed but the status is currently inactive
[10:36] <sebastian_> is there anyone who can help me with "usb 2-1: Not enough bandwidth for new device state." for a usb 3.0 camera
[10:38] <ID21> hello
[10:38] <ID21> its me
[10:38] <georgewhite> sebastian_: http://superuser.com/questions/731751/not-enough-host-controller-resources-for-new-device-state
[10:39] <panagos> is there a way to check which firewall i have installed/active? UFW/IPTABLES?
[10:40] <OerHeks> panagos, ubuntu firewall is based on IP tables
[10:40] <panagos> OerHeks: thanks
[10:40] <anabain> is this tutotial valid for 15.10? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=430312
[10:40] <ID21> OerHeks: yoooooooooooooooooow
[10:40] <georgewhite> anabain: I think nautilus should support connecting to an SSH server
[10:41] <georgewhite> Unless you don’t have the GUI installed or don’t want to use the GUI
[10:41] <OerHeks> panagos, to get status: sudo ufw status
[10:41] <panagos> OerHeks: i did that.. .it says inactive
[10:42] <anabain> georgewhite, I'm on kubuntu, perhaps dolphin features ssh connection too, I'll check then
[10:42] <OerHeks> panagos, install gufw, and enable?
[10:42] <DinCahill> panagos: fyi ufw is a wrapper for iptables
[10:42] <georgewhite> anabain: Dolphin does
[10:42] <anabain> I also want to be able to connect from and android device
[10:42] <OerHeks> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW
[10:42] <anabain> remotely through OpenVPN, georgewhite
[10:43] <georgewhite> anabain: Is the Ubuntu computer the computer you want to connect to?
[10:43] <georgewhite> ES File Manager for Android has SSH functionallity.
[10:43] <anabain> yes, in fact there are two kubuntu boxes to be accessed from the android device
[10:44] <georgewhite> Oh, sorry, I thought you want to connect to another server
[10:44] <anabain> I have already installed this app! Nice
[10:45] <sebastian_> gerogewhite: In my case disabling xhci is not an option because i need usb 3.0
[10:45] <sebastian_> other usb 3.0 devices work fine btw
[10:45] <georgewhite> anabain: sftp should work fine for what you want
[10:45] <georgewhite> it’s FTP over SSH
[10:47] <georgewhite> sebastian_: and you’re sure you’ve got the correct drivers for USB 3?
[10:47] <georgewhite> USB 3 is generally buggy
[10:48] <sebastian_> the correct driver for the camera?
[10:48] <akik> georgewhite: to be exact, it's not ftp. ftp is a different protocol
[10:48] <panagos> DinCahill: thanks :)
[10:48] <panagos> ok so now UFW status is active
[10:48] <panagos> so I guess I can just add a rule now to disable port 137?
[10:48] <DinCahill> panagos: yeah should work
[10:49] <georgewhite> akik: sorry, yes, I forgot about the differences between FTP over SSH and SFTP
[10:50] <georgewhite> anyway, sftp will work fine
[10:50] <georgewhite> sebastian_: the camera and your USB PCIe card
[10:50] <akik> georgewhite: still, there is no ftp over ssh :)
[10:50] <sebastian_> at least the device is listed corrected using lsusb
[10:51] <georgewhite> akik: there is with forwarding
[10:51] <akik> they're are ftp, ftps and sftp
[10:51] <georgewhite> akik: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Transfer_Protocol#FTP_over_SSH
[10:51] <sebastian_> and the pci card is listed using lspci
[10:51] <sebastian_> "USB controller: NEC Corporation uPD720200 USB 3.0 Host Controller (rev 03)"

[11:12] <ikuria> http://askubuntu.com/questions/701824/getting-ctrl-backspace-to-delete-words-in-gnome-terminal-and-vim-insert-mo
[11:12] <ikuria> cant get this to work, want ctrl-backspace to delete a word :(
[11:13] <ikuria> update vte?
[11:14] <OerHeks> in gnome-terminal, alt + bckspace works standard for me
[11:15] <ikuria> yes but i want to change that to ctrl+backspace
[11:16] <booter> hei
[11:18] <OerHeks> ikuria, according to your own post, that key combo will be fixed in gnome 3.18 .. so i guess you'll have to wait
[11:18] <panagos> basically i want to force the forewall to reject any outbount connections to any ip on port 137
[11:18] <panagos> can anyone help with that?
[11:19] <panagos> i tried "ufw deny 137", when I then to a "ufw status verbose" , it says:
[11:19] <panagos> 137                        DENY IN     Anywhere
[11:30] <akik> panagos: i haven't tested this but it seems to be ufw deny out
[11:30] <panagos> akik: yeah i just found something
[11:30] <panagos> so i gues sit would be "sudo deny out 137/UDP"
[11:30] <panagos> or some such
[11:31] <akik> panagos: "sudo ufw deny out 137/udp"
[11:36] <panagos> akik: what is the difference between reject and deny?
[11:37] <TJ-> panagos: 'reject' will tell the client attempting to send the packet that it failed. 'deny' will silently drop the packet, leaving the client waiting for a response
[11:37] <panagos> ahhh ok ok thanks guys:) you guys are soo helpful :)
[11:44] <yrumpk> Why don't linux sue google for making profit on android linux
[11:45] <panagos> so once the rule is added and the ufw status is enabled what would I expect to see in the audit logs
[11:45] <panagos> deny?
[11:45] <EriC^^> yrumpk: you can sell stuff as long as it's open source
[11:46] <panagos> i presume specific rules take preference over the defaults correct?
[11:47] <EriC^^> yrumpk: i think
[11:47] <panagos> i guess if it says "UFW AUDIT" it is telling us that the rule was enforced
[11:47] <panagos> versus UFW ALLOW?
[11:53] <panagos> i guess put another way... if the firewall rule for UDP/137 was working correctly then iptraf would not be showing up any traffic on UDP/37
[11:54] <panagos> sorry UDP/137
[11:56] <akik> panagos: it looks like you need to enable logging separately "sudo ufw logging on"
[11:56] <panagos> akik: i did "sudo ufw logging high"
[11:56] <panagos> and i see the logs in the ufw.log
[11:57] <akik> panagos: the syntax is 137/udp, not the other way around
[11:58] <panagos> akik: yes. i did that and it looks correct: 137/udp                    DENY OUT    Anywhere
[11:59] <rew> what is the difference between snappy and ubuntu?
[12:01] <akik> panagos: you're still seeing network traffic to that port? what is the destination address?
[12:02] <EriC^^> !snappy | rew
[12:06] <panagos> akik: from 41.76.213.157:137 to 41.76.215.255:137 on eth0
[12:06] <panagos> akik: would it matter if the default is to allow all? or does the specific rule take precedence over the default
[12:08] <UsuSai> Hi
[12:11] <Guest559> Hi All
[12:12] <akik> panagos: the .255 address is the broadcast address for that subnet
[12:13] <akik> panagos: have you made any configuration changes that would rely on windows authentication etc. ?
[12:13] <UsuSai> Any one of you know how to keep my user configuration or how to back it up to upgrade the system without loosing my current configurations and archives?
[12:14] <akik> panagos: do you use remote samba mounts?
[12:14] <akik> panagos: i guess it's a samba related process still running on your system
[12:15] <Guest559> how can I turn off admin password if I want to install or change something in my ubuntu?
[12:17] <panagos> akik:  no i don't use this for anything samba related
[12:17] <UsuSai> Guest559------------- sudo passwd
[12:18] <panagos> nmblookup was installed but i have subsequently removed all traces
[12:18] <panagos> i am also up to the latest patch levels
[12:18] <panagos> and now that the firewall is in place, I guess the next step is to restart the box
[12:18] <panagos> but to answer your question, no i dont use anything related to samba
[12:19] <UsuSai> If you have not configured the SUDOERS archive yet, just passwd
[12:20] <OerHeks> Guest559, your password is your last line of defense .. you better ask: how can I turn off admin password so *anyone* can install or change something in my ubuntu?
[12:20] <Guest559> UsuSai: this command want to change my actual password and I want turn it off forever :)
[12:20] <Guest81623> list
[12:21] <Guest82637> hello
[12:21] <Guest82637> che
[12:21] <Guest82637> che
[12:24] <UsuSai> OerHeks is right. May be you should configure the sudoers file for being able to install with other user, with perhaps a easyer password and keeping your root password
[12:24] <Guest559> OerHeks: yes I want to configure this laptop without password
[12:25] <Guest559> UsuSai: it should enough
[12:26] <Guest559> I just install ubuntu mate on laptop for sale and that why I want to do something like it
[12:27] <OerHeks> not a legit reason for me
[12:27] <akik> what does "turning off admin password" even mean? it looks more likely that guest559 wants to set root password
[12:27] <OerHeks> no, he wants to disable password.
[12:28] <Guest559> OerHeks: yes disable :)
[12:28] <UsuSai> Guest559 -- take a look http://askubuntu.com/questions/553117/allow-root-access-without-passwd
[12:28] <OerHeks> so future ubuntu user is unsafe, and it gives a bad experience...
[12:29] <akik> i would say that it would be better to keep the ubuntu setup so that the new laptop owner can benefit from the ubuntu docs
[12:32] <Guest559> OerHeks: new user know more about ubuntu from me so he probably set a new password if he wanted to
[12:35] <Guest559> thank for advise and link
[12:35] <Guest559> see ya
[12:35] <TJ-> Guest559: why not simply configure the system to do autologin for the user, and possibly enable in /etc/sudoers that user for NOPASSWD
[12:36] <akik> TJ-: NOPASSWD is BAD i got told
[12:37] <cfhowlett> ya think??
[12:37] <TJ-> akik: it depends on what commands it is allowed
[12:37] <akik> TJ-: yes i know
[12:37] <TJ-> akik: I generally have it set for apt-get and a few other common tools
[12:38] <akik> TJ-: but for guest559's case, i'm sure you're not suggesting that it would be used for all commands?
[12:39] <TJ-> akik: no, use it selectively to make the common tasks easier
[12:39] <TJ-> It's better than configuring a user with a blank password :)
[12:44] <Lyden69> Hello all.
[12:44] <Lyden69> Is this working?
[12:45] <cfhowlett> Lyden, ask your ubuntu question
[12:48] <easyOnMe> is ubuntu the best linux server for a web-based application
[12:48] <easyOnMe> how come I heard my colleague that their project will be deployed in a centOS flavor of linux
[12:48] <easyOnMe> what could be their reason for doing so
[12:49] <x5-452> Ben
[12:49] <cfhowlett> easyOnMe, why ask US?  ask THEM?
[12:49] <OerHeks> easyOnMe, ask them?
[12:49] <OerHeks> :-D
[12:49] <TJ-> easyOnMe: Because CentOS is the non-cost RedHat Enterprise Linux, which has been the predominant Enterprise server Linux OS for a long time
[12:50] <easyOnMe> TJ-: oh ok thanks TJ
[12:50] <Lyden> I am trying to dual boot Ubuntu 14.04 LTS alongside OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 and am unsure about the partitioning part of the install. I am using the rEFInd boot manager, and have set aside a 32GB partition using Disk Utility called "Ubuntu". The Ubuntu install does not recognise OS X as an operating system and I have to choose the "Something Else" op
[12:50] <Lyden> tion.
[12:50] <cfhowlett> !mac | Lyden
[12:51] <easyOnMe> so if I just want to deploy my own project that does not require an enterprise level of complexity
[12:51] <easyOnMe> Ubuntu is just ok
[12:51] <easyOnMe> Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
[12:51] <cfhowlett> easyOnMe, this is tech support.  chitchat in #ubuntu-offtopic.  thank you.
[12:51] <easyOnMe> cfhowlett: ok no problem
[12:51] <easyOnMe> sorry
[12:52] <TJ-> easyOnMe: Ubuntu server is just as capable. The 'Enterprise' label is a marketing thing, for gaining income from support subscriptions
[12:52] <Lyden> I would like to know what device I pick for the boot manager((?)I think this is what it asks) It has a dropdown option, however I am unsure what the options given were as I can only access this device at the moment.
[12:53] <TJ-> Lyden: generally, the boot device should be the same one as the root file-system is being installed to
[12:53] <Lyden> So would this be the 32GB partition I have made?
[12:55] <TJ-> Lyden: boot-loader doesn't go into a partition, the *device* that *contains* the partition. E.g. if the root file-system were in /dev/sda3 then the boot-loader would go to /dev/sda
[13:00] <Lyden-iPhone> I have booted the Ubuntu install, and am on the partitioning screen
[13:01] <Lyden-iPhone> i have what I assume is my partition at 32gb and free space of 13b which I am not sure what it is
[13:01] <cfhowlett> do not assume
[13:02] <Lyden-iPhone> I made a 32gb partition and last time it is in ext4
[13:02] <Lyden-iPhone> ignore last time
[13:02] <Lyden-iPhone> this is my partition
[13:02] <MonkeyDust> assuming leads to doubt, doubt leads to fear, fear leads to the dark side
[13:03] <Lyden-iPhone> it is under /dev/sda4
[13:04] <Lyden-iPhone> i was told to make a partition of 4gb called "swap"
[13:04] <OerHeks> Lyden-iPhone, easiest way is to let ubuntu take care of the partitioning of that 32 gb
[13:04] <topias_> ToRazzi
[13:05] <topias_> Hi, i need a help
[13:05] <cfhowlett> !ask | topias_
[13:07] <topias_> I installed Xubuntu to my Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi and no sound, i have make all fixes but no work
[13:07] <Lyden-iPhone> ok. The guide I was following instructed me to use the partition as ext4 and set the mount point to "/"
[13:07] <cfhowlett> Lyden-iPhone, yp
[13:07] <cfhowlett> yep
[13:08] <Lyden-iPhone> Ok. Do I not need to make that swap partition?
[13:08] <baizon> Lyden-iPhone: its recommended
[13:08] <cfhowlett> Lyden-iPhone, follow your guide
[13:09] <Lyden-iPhone> ok. I am not sure how to add the swap partition.
[13:10] <Lyden-iPhone> when I highlight the 32gb part the + is greyed out
[13:10] <topias_> !ask
[13:10] <cfhowlett> Lyden-iPhone, unmount the partition
[13:11] <topias_> This channel sucks (N)
[13:11] <Lyden-iPhone> sorry about that, this phone makes that hard to do. How would I unmount it?
[13:11] <cfhowlett> Lyden-iPhone, right click the partition, follow the menu
[13:13] <mircx1> Hola
[13:13] <cfhowlett> !es | mircx1
[13:13] <mircx1> how i change version gcc 4.8.4 to gcc 5?
[13:13] <cfhowlett> !info gcc vivid
[13:14] <mircx1> is have a link to see?
[13:14] <Lyden-iPhone> Right clicking the partition does not work.
[13:14] <cfhowlett> mircx1, 5 is not in the repos.  compile it from source or wait patiently
[13:15] <mircx1> then how i can to know for update?
[13:15] <cfhowlett> mircx1, sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade          will grab all the latest packages available in the repos
[13:15] <mircx1> thanks
[13:17] <Lyden-iPhone> I have right clicked the partition and it did not do anything. Double clicking opened a menu where I could edit the partition. There is no option to unmount
[13:17] <akik> mircx1: there's a ppa for gcc 5 if you want to test it https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/test
[13:20] <Lyden-iPhone> I selected the do not use partition option however I still cannot make use the "+" button
[13:20] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[13:21] <mircx1> cfhowlett
[13:21] <mircx1> this ok? http://askubuntu.com/questions/466651/how-do-i-use-the-latest-gcc-4-9-on-ubuntu-14-04
[13:22] <cfhowlett> mircx1, looks legit
[13:24] <mircx1> you told to me is have gcc 9
[13:25] <mircx1> but after i do the commands you give to me i no see gcc change version
[13:25] <asad_> how can I set up my touchpad so that it gets disabled while typing? this is the normal behavior in gnome. isn't it supposed to behave this way by default in unity too?
[13:26] <cfhowlett> mircx1, if no change then you already had the newest gcc in repo.  you can compile or use the ppa as akik suggested.  usual cautions apply
[13:27] <Lyden-iPhone> I'll try again tomorrow
[13:28] <Lyden-iPhone> i'm too tired to deal with computers, thanks for the help
[13:28] <mircx1> how?
[13:28] <cfhowlett> mircx1, how what?
[13:29] <cfhowlett> asad_, see your touchpad settings though "disable while typing" is NOT in all buntu flavors as yet
[13:30] <mircx1> how i change it sorry but i`m not understand very much and i try to see explain about update gcc
[13:30] <OerHeks> mircx1, gcc 4.9 is not complete for 14.04, as your own url says
[13:30] <mircx1> ok then how i update gcc from 14.04?
[13:30] <OerHeks> mircx1, if you don't understand, why do you *need* it?
[13:31] <mircx1> beacuse i run something and i get error about it
[13:32] <MonkeyDust> mircx1  and what if the change doesnt solve the error?
[13:32] <asad_> cfhowlett, i'm on 15.10 and it's not in the settings...
[13:32] <cfhowlett> asad_, I don't have it either.  My solution: I purchased an external keyboard and mouse from Dell.  Sorry.
[13:33] <MonkeyDust> mircx1  better ask how to solve the error you're encountering
[13:35] <mircx1> i have some error
[13:35] <mircx1> if do you want i paste to you

[13:51] <circ-user-BTuxJ> hi
[13:52] <cfhowlett> asad_,  did you install the intel hd drivers?
[13:52] <mircx1> MonkeyDust i paste to you my error
[13:52] <sjjenni> I have a new system and ALMOST everything is working as I want.  Local mail is working, I can receive email, but when I try and send I get from the systems that I connect to, 550 Invalid HELO - what do I need to configure that I have not, I am using postfix
[13:52] <asad_> cfhowlett, yes I have the latest drivers installed.
[13:53] <asad_> cfhowlett, the vertical tearing on the left side of the window only seems to happen in firefox.
[13:53] <cfhowlett> asad_, sorry, my only suggestion would have been to get the drivers
[13:56] <MonkeyDust> mircx1  i'm not familiar with the code and am not sure if it's for this channel
[13:57] <MonkeyDust> mircx1  find 'error' in the paste, it may help in finding a solution
[14:02] <lubuntu> .explosionirc.net
[14:07] <asad_> what do the options "dont wait for video sync" and "force full screen redraws (buffer swap) on repaint" do in compizconfig settings?
[14:08] <daftykins> asad_: 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.
[14:09] <daftykins> i can't be 100% on the second but it sounds like something that could make the graphics system work harder unnecessarily.
[14:10] <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] <daftykins> no i don't think that'll be the same, then
[14:11] <daftykins> it's solely horizontal due to the way display tech works
[14:11] <asad_> daftykins, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1293243
[14:11] <Tokenizer> when I login to an ubuntu server, I always see "XXX packages can be updated, XX are security updates".  No matter how many times I do "apt-get update && update-get upgrade" I can't get them to disappear and go down to zero
[14:11] <daftykins> asad_: probably just using the wrong term is all
[14:12] <daftykins> Tokenizer: then ignore it
[14:12] <cfhowlett> Tokenizer, sudo apt full-upgrade should fix
[14:13] <asad_> daftykins, in the bug report the reporter mentions that "force full screen redraws (buffer swap) on repaint" fixes the issue. I just want to be sure my system won't break or anything like that
[14:13] <daftykins> asad_: so backup...
[14:13] <daftykins> it's not going to spontaneously explode due to a simple graphics setting
[14:13] <cfhowlett>  ... he says with great confidence    :)
[14:14] <asad_> daftykins, yeah but sometimes things don't render correctly after booting. i remember I had set something in compiz settings in the past which left me with an unusable system..
[14:14] <Tokenizer> cfhowlett: that's a distro upgrade basically.. I'm on LTS can't just do that
[14:14] <cfhowlett> Tokenizer,
[14:14] <cfhowlett> false
[14:14] <cfhowlett> that will NOT upgrade your distro.  it WILL upgrade all packages in the current distro to newest available versions.
[14:15] <daftykins> asad_: maybe don't tweak with things you don't understand too much then :)
[14:15] <cfhowlett> sudo do-release-upgrade       will upgrade distro
[14:15] <daftykins> !distupgrade
[14:15] <daftykins> :)
[14:16] <Tokenizer> cfhowlett: so apache may get updated, and the conf's gone?
[14:16] <Tokenizer> cfhowlett: and so on and so forth?
[14:16] <cfhowlett> Tokenizer, simulate it first: apt-get -s dist-upgrade         will NOT execute
[14:16] <daftykins> Tokenizer: no.
[14:17] <daftykins> i use dist-upgrade on my servers all the time
[14:18] <Tokenizer> i see, looks like something I can't do now, have to wait for people not to be connected and waiting (after the project is done)
[14:18] <Tokenizer> there's a risk still from what you guys are saying
[14:18] <daftykins> Tokenizer: but that's ok 'cause you'll have backups
[14:18] <cfhowlett> of COURSE he has backups!
[14:19] <daftykins> you could just remove the MOTD update info
[14:19] <Tokenizer> it's a vm, yea can be backed up
[14:19] <MonkeyDust> Tokenizer  make sure you have backups, then you can do what you want
[14:21] <Guest85463> hallo~
[14:22] <MonkeyDust> Guest85463  hi, this is the ubuntu support channel
[14:23] <Guest85463> how do i change my password
[14:23] <daftykins> "passwd"
[14:24] <Guest85463> yes
[14:24] <robotics> hallo~
[14:24] <daftykins> you type what i said into the terminal.
[14:24] <JeDa> ~hallo
[14:24] <robotics> ha~llo
[14:25] <asad_> daftykins, okay I don't seem to notice any vertical tearing in firefox after changing these settings. should I keep them?
[14:25] <Thinker_> I just created 125 GB ext4 partition in ubuntu. When I format this partition, file manager tells its capacity as 116.6 GB and usable space of only 116.9 GB. Why there are so differences?  Can anyone please explain
[14:26] <JeDa> hal~lo
[14:26] <daftykins> Thinker_: base 10 and base 2 unit conversion
[14:26] <Thinker_> no....its not 1024 vs 1000.... Itssomething related to ext4
[14:27] <Thinker_> When I format that with NTFS, its show exactly 125GB
[14:27] <daftykins> depends on the tools you're using.
[14:27] <daftykins> i'd go by "df -h"
[14:27] <EriC^^> Thinker_: it's the 5% reserved for root
[14:27] <akik> Thinker_: there's probably a 5% quota set aside for root
[14:27] <EriC^^> Thinker_: 125*0.05=6
[14:28] <EriC^^> so you get 119 left
[14:28] <daftykins> mmm there you go :) didn't know GUI tools showed it up
[14:28] <MonkeyDust> EriC^^  +1
[14:28] <daftykins> !cookie | EriC^^
[14:29]  * EriC^^ eats the cookie :D
[14:29] <akik> Thinker_: you can set the reserved block percentage to 0 with "sudo tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sdXn"
[14:30] <Thinker_> sorry....my typing mistake....... Actual partition sixe 125GB exact             File manager says Partition size 122.9      Available 116.6               Here is screenshot   http://imgur.com/QSyTmPX
[14:30] <zteam> Hi all!
[14:30] <daftykins> hi zteam
[14:30] <Thinker_> thanks eric
[14:30] <daftykins> got a question?
[14:30] <Thinker_> but neither 122.9 GB nor 116.6 GB is near 5%
[14:31] <Thinker_> And system reserved shoulg give one change, why there are 2 different entries...
[14:31] <Thinker_> thanks in advance
[14:31] <Thinker_> specially eric
[14:32] <zteam> Is there any easy way to make firefox better at handling files downloads, I don't know how many times I try to open a zip-file and Firefox tries to open it gedit
[14:32] <rasta> hey
[14:32] <rasta> :D
[14:32] <zteam> daftykins, Hi there :-=
[14:32] <daftykins> zteam: go into the settings and change the associated app for the file type, simple.
[14:33] <daftykins> rasta: a'ight me breadbin
[14:33] <zteam> daftykins, Well I already tried that, it works for some pages, but not for others (they probably change the mime-type or something
[14:33]  * Thinker_ is desperately waiting for in depth  explanation 
[14:34] <rasta> nice
[14:34] <daftykins> Thinker_: i think i'd sooner get on with my life.
[14:34] <curiouscharacter> hello ubuntu
[14:34] <zteam> daftykins, Try this download for example, http://www.aptana.com/products/studio3/download.html
[14:35] <curiouscharacter> im having problems with the commands
[14:35]  * Thinker_ could not understand daftykins  meaning bcoz of weak english
[14:35] <akik> Thinker_: 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 first
[14:35] <zteam> daftykins, if you try to download the Aptana file firefox defaults to Gedit (or some other unrealeled application)
[14:36] <daftykins> zteam: 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 knowledge
[14:37] <MonkeyDust> Thinker_  it's not something to be desperate about
[14:37] <Thinker_> but learning linux is interesting buddy MonkeyDust
[14:37] <Thinker_> atleast for me
[14:38] <daftykins> Thinker_: re-do it as exFAT and notice the difference.
[14:38] <daftykins> though you may need to install exfat-utils
[14:39] <zteam> daftykins, 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...........
[14:40] <OerHeks> Thinker_, i don't believe that, 125 gb partitioned in NTFS should also be less, like ext4
[14:40] <Thinker_> daftykins,  anyways i will try formatting in exfat to see changes
[14:40] <Thinker_> OerHeks,  I ill show u, just wait man
[14:40] <Thinker_> screenshot coming
[14:40] <zteam> Thinker_, What are you trying to do? :-)
[14:41] <Thinker_> zteam,  trying to understand how ext4 works.......basics
[14:41] <OerHeks> Thinker_, no need to, i know i am right.
[14:42] <akik> actually for a ntfs partition, there's only a 4KiB difference between the partition and the mounted file system
[14:43] <akik> nice to learn new things
[14:43] <zteam> Thinker_, Okey :-)
[14:43] <daftykins> actually 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 8
[14:44] <daftykins> totally false
[14:44] <daftykins> use some real tools such as 'sudo parted -l'
[14:48] <zteam> Thinker_, there are two ways of calculating  partion / disk size
[14:49] <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 ask
[14:50] <Thinker_> These are screenshots...      http://imgur.com/a7lCfCA               http://imgur.com/QSyTmPX
[14:51] <daftykins> and how does "sudo parted -l" display it? :)
[14:52] <daftykins> Thinker_: also, i recommend alt+print-screen in future
[14:52] <Thinker_> ok
[14:53] <OerHeks> ext4 takes some space, 1-2% or so, for i-tables, free lists, superblocks, superblock backups, and ext4-journaling
[14:54] <OerHeks> don't compare it with ntfs
[14:55] <noob_> installed ubuntu mini...trying to install sddm login manager but get error
[14:55] <noob_> "dpkg: error processing package sddm-theme-maldives"
[14:55] <daftykins> that suggests the actual error is further up
[14:56] <daftykins> noob_: to make life easy you should just be installing a whole DE at once.
[14:56] <zteam> noob_, run sudo apt-get -f install from the terminal
[14:56] <noob_> zteam: thxs will try that
[14:56] <zteam> noob_, that will make apt try to fix all broken dependeices

[15:05] <noob_> TJ-: crap
[15:05] <TJ-> noob_: so I'm not sure *how* you're getting dpkg to even try process the package, unless you've fetched it manually
[15:06] <TJ-> noob_: however, if you do want it, there's no reason not to install the files manually by extracting the .deb - it only contains the theme files under /usr/share/sddm/themes/maldives/
[15:08] <noob_> TJ-: how best to remove and start fresh....sudo apt-get autoremove?
[15:08] <TJ-> noob_: remove what? Trusty doesn't have the package so nothing can have been installed

[15:50] <staticsn0w> when i do df -h it says my partition mounted as / has like, 90somthiing GB, does that mean i have that amount of storage left on my pc?
[15:50] <daftykins> read the columns carefully, it's quite obvious
[15:51] <daftykins> available = what's left
[15:51] <staticsn0w> im gonna take a guess and say that yes, that  is what i have left
[15:51] <daftykins> it's pretty clear, guessing isn't necessary
[15:51] <staticsn0w> yeah

[16:23] <timpu> I'm looking to install a vector drawing program in Ubuntu. Is the popular Inkscape the best choice right now, or would you guys recommend something else, some less known newcomer maybe?
[16:23] <fep> is there some way software made for KDE can make GNOME fail?
[16:27] <OerHeks> timpu, inkscape is the one, else SK1 outside the repos > http://sk1project.org/
[16:28] <timpu> OerHeks: thank you!
[16:28] <OerHeks> hence you will find less alternatives, inkscape is the major tool linuxwide

[16:36] <question> prtsc button not working in wily 15.10 ( was working in previous versions), how to correct it ?
[16:38] <Timothy3> Hi
[16:38] <fep> question, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2168008
[16:38] <Timothy3> I screwed up my Ubuntu install by doing mv /*  /var/www/somedirectory instead of "./*"
[16:39] <Timothy3> right now I rebooted into recovery mode as initframfs
[16:39] <Timothy3> and I'm trying to move back the files
[16:39] <Timothy3> but I can't because they're read-only
[16:39] <Timothy3> can anyone please help me?
[16:40] <daftykins> Timothy3: root shell?
[16:40] <fep> Timothy3, http://askubuntu.com/questions/47538/how-to-make-read-only-file-system-writable
[16:40] <daftykins> mount -o remount,rw /
[16:42] <Silvering> Hi everyone! I just started a machine running on Ubuntu 10.10. How can I upgrade the distribution to 15.10 ? Thx!
[16:42] <Timothy3> my root is broken because of the "mv" I did
[16:42] <Timothy3> when I try mount -o remount,rw /  I get "mount: can't read '/proc/mounts': No such file or directory"
[16:42] <belovedk> Silvering: install fresh one
[16:43] <Silvering> belovedk : Ok thx!
[16:44] <belovedk> You should back up your home directory and possibly if you need your applications, back them up using aptik
[16:46] <ioria> Timothy3, maybe you can do that from Livecd
[16:48] <TJ-> Timothy3: from the initial ramdisk busybox shell you'll first need to mount the root file-system, in order to work on it
[16:48] <Timothy3> I'm kind of a noob ^^
[16:48] <Timothy3> how do I know which folder is the root file-system?
[16:50] <TJ-> Timothy3: "cat /proc/cmdline" will report root=XXXX where XXX is the device containing the root file-system
[16:52] <Timothy3> No such file or directory
[16:52] <TJ-> Timothy3: are you sure you're at the initial ramdisk shell (busybox) ?
[16:52] <^74NK> help
[16:52] <Timothy3> pretty sure
[16:52] <^74NK> i have problems with dependencies
[16:53] <^74NK> whenever i try to install anything
[16:53] <Timothy3> It says "BusyBox v1.21.1 when I reboot
[16:53] <daftykins> type messages on one line, no using enter for punctuation
[16:53] <irut4i> hello! i would like to set some graphical program to start after xubuntu live cd boot. is this possible?
[16:54] <^74NK> sorry. So -  Depends: libudev1:i386 but it is not going to be installed or                                  libudev0:i386 but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[16:54] <^74NK> and i have huge list of these.
[16:54] <Timothy3> I found a forum post saying I should mount /dev/sda1, but that doesn't exists either
[16:55] <Bashing-om> ^74NK: Maybe best to pastebin ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ' maybe we can see the root of the issue ?
[16:55] <^74NK> sure
[16:56] <Paaltomo> o/ hello
[16:57] <question> fep: daftykins simple sudo chmod +x/+777 /media/ubuntu/* is sufficient or not ? I had a usb drive which was read only but I transferred files to it by sudo cp/mv. after the command I gave previously usb is writable now
[16:58] <question>  
[16:58] <TJ-> Timothy3: so you have the busybox shell; then the /proc/ file-system must exist since the /init script needs/uses it
[16:58] <^74NK> http://pastebin.com/Gvk3J9Ns
[16:58] <^74NK> Bashing-om:  ^
[16:58] <TJ-> Timothy3: do "ls /proc/" and check you see lots of entries
[16:59] <Timothy3> I get nothing
[16:59] <Timothy3> proc exists
[16:59] <Timothy3> but is empty
[17:01] <^74NK> Bashing-om: http://pasteboard.co/2OZC7xWO.png
[17:02] <TJ-> Timothy3: hmmm, you'll need to boot from a Live ISO then, and do it from a sane environment. It sounds like you've managed to also affect the initrd.img somehow
[17:02] <Bashing-om> ^74NK: Look'n be back shortly .
[17:02] <OerHeks> ^74NK, those packages libc6:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386  libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 so you want steam?
[17:03] <^74NK> yes
[17:03] <ioria> Timothy3, you should be able, to mount the partition and mv back files and folders .... from /var/www to /
[17:03] <^74NK> 0er i want a whole bunch of 5h17 on my pc.
[17:04] <Timothy3> I tried to mount it, but I think I'm mounting a mount
[17:04] <Timothy3> because I keep getting read-only warnings
[17:04] <Timothy3> even with mount -o rw
[17:04] <ioria> Timothy3, you are still in Recovery ... you need livecd
[17:04] <Timothy3> what's that?
[17:04] <ioria> Timothy3, the same support you used for install
[17:05] <ioria> Timothy3, at start, you have 'install ubuntu' or 'try ubuntu' .... the second this time
[17:05] <Timothy3> can I do that from a virtual private server?
[17:06] <ioria> Timothy3, idk, sy
[17:06] <OerHeks> ^74NK, old bug, answer #29 might apply for you if you run vivid https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1424263
[17:07] <OerHeks> else the guys in #ubuntu-steam can tell
[17:07] <Bashing-om> ^74NK: You are missing the 32 bit libs to support steam . unfortunately I have no steam experience and at this point I do not know what to advise to get them installd .
[17:09] <TJ-> Timothy3: you cannot do a remount of the initial ramdisk root file-system
[17:10] <Timothy3> So 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.
[17:11] <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. That's the thing you need to manually mount to work on
[17:12] <^74NK> ok thank you Bashing-om  for taking your time.
[17:13] <Timothy3> Is there a way to do that?
[17:13] <^74NK> http://pasteboard.co/2P0piE31.png
[17:14] <Bashing-om> ^74NK: If I steamed, I would be of greater help . I would not want to lead you down the wrong path .
[17:14] <OerHeks> nice crosspost, you don't read answers, likely ..
[17:14] <^74NK> yeah sure, right now i'm trying to install anything from synaptic
[17:15] <^74NK> but i just got an error saying "fix broken packages first"
[17:15] <^74NK> ._.
[17:15] <TJ-> Timothy3: if /proc/cmdline is missing that suggests the /procfs isn't mounted, which should have been done as soon as the /init script started, with: "mount -t proc -o nodev,noexec,nosuid proc /proc" - you could try issuing that command now, and ten checking "ls /proc/" again after
[17:16] <OerHeks> tip: softwarecenter & synaptic open ..
[17:16] <Bashing-om> ^74NK: Heads up .. It is difficult to work from images .. best info is from the text outputs of terminal commands .
[17:17] <Timothy3> TJ- now proc is no longer empty
[17:18] <^74NK> Bashing-om:  i'm sorry i don't know where to start is it possible to fix all packages and libraries that are missing or invalid?
[17:19] <Timothy3> TJ- cat /proc/cmdline gives me "BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.13.0-71-generic root=/dev/mapper/vps01--vg-root ro recovery nomodeset"
[17:20] <TJ-> Timothy3: OK, so somehow you managed to boot without running the /init script!!!! That's a first in my experience!
[17:20] <arunpyasi> hello guys, I needed to install ffmpeg-php and ffmpeg in my ubuntu vps to run a php application. How can I setup ? Please show me an easy method
[17:21] <arunpyasi> I see that its unavailable in the repo and I only got ffmpeg from a PPA but not the php extension
[17:21] <TJ-> Timothy3: do "ls -l" do you see a file "/init" of around 7-8000 bytes listed
[17:21] <Bashing-om> ^74NK: It is always possible - this s 'buntu ! - .. do in a pastebin the outputs of ' sudo apt update ' and ' sudo apt upgrade ' so I have something familiar to work from . I might come up with the solution .
[17:21] <vfw> Lid close causes loss of access to WiFi on my HP Pavillion AB-223CL

[17:24] <Timothy3> TJ- nope
[17:24] <Timothy3> or wait
[17:24] <TJ-> Timothy3: so, it looks like either the initrd is empty or alternatively none was loaded
[17:24] <Timothy3> TJ- yes

[17:25] <Timothy3> TJ- I thought you meant in the proc dir ^^
[17:25] <ysangkok> Does Ubuntu start pulseaudio via systemd's socket activation or the old autospawn mechanism?
[17:25] <TJ-> Timothy3: that's the script-file that the kernel should have executed when entering recovery mode. Not entirely sure why it didn't
[17:25] <Moonsilence> Hi! Does someone know, in Ubuntu how to disable the initial placement of small windows sticking directly adjacent to another window? Can the inital placement of windows be more random or independant of already opened windows?
[17:26] <OerHeks> The following packages have been kept back: steam:i386  ,, time to run apt-get dist-upgrade
[17:26] <Bashing-om> ^74NK: Look'n .
[17:26] <OerHeks> 74nk ^
[17:26] <^74NK> yeah start after 'clear' command
[17:26] <^74NK> before that i had synaptic open
[17:27] <Timothy3> TJ- can I maybe edit the grub loader so it mounts with rw?
[17:27] <Bashing-om> ^74NK: "  Could not get lock " most likely more than one instance of the package manager running ( apt, USC or synaptic ) close all out and try again .
[17:28] <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] <^74NK> Read last 2 lines
[17:29] <Timothy3> head: not found
[17:29] <TJ-> Timothy3: drat! I thought busybox had it as a built-in
[17:30] <Bashing-om> ^74NK: Uh Huh .. me slow down and look .. be back in a bit .
[17:30] <^74NK> :D
[17:30] <ysangkok> TJ-: it depends on the busybox configuration
[17:31] <OerHeks> ^74NK, still no answer in ##linux ? i gave the answer a while ago ..
[17:31] <^74NK> i dont know what i'm even looking for
[17:31] <^74NK> currently my goal is to be able to install bittorrent
[17:32] <Bashing-om> ^74NK: OK, as above, concurr . run ' sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ' see if that will pull in " The following packages have been kept back: >> steam:i386 " .

[17:33] <irut4i> hello! i would like to set some graphical program to start after xubuntu live cd boot. is this possible?
[17:35] <Bashing-om> irut4i: Nope, " live cd boot. " they are not re-writeable .
[17:35] <truexfan81> is it strange that i actually get decent performance from unity on my ancient netbook?
[17:35] <irut4i> Bashing-om: but what if i change some contents of filesystem.squashfs?
[17:35] <Jaddie> Bashing-om, surely it would be possible if the live cd was modified before being burnt?
[17:35] <truexfan81> we talking intel atom 1.6 single core hyperthreaded cpu and intel gma950 graphics, 1GB ram
[17:36] <OerHeks> truexfan81, probably due to the small ssd inside
[17:36] <Jaddie> irut4i, that is what I was thinking, surely a pre-mod would mean anything is posible since its basically an installed copy of the OS
[17:36] <truexfan81> OerHeks: its running a 250GB 4500rpm hdd
[17:36] <Bashing-om> irut4i: Well, one can always re-write the operating image and write that image back to a disk .
[17:36] <OerHeks> but no fluently youtube, on my netbook
[17:36] <xargs> When is Ubuntu going to bring back the wallpaper where people's ass cheeks were touching in a circle? It was a top down view and you couldn't see their faces.

[17:37] <OerHeks> gma950 is not that ancient, i have that poulsbo gma 450 stuff :-(
[17:37] <xargs> It was gay as fuck.
[17:37] <truexfan81> OerHeks: i have the old acer zg5 netbook
[17:37] <irut4i> Jaddie: i'm looking to the contents of this file, but i can't find the right directory to write my commands to :/
[17:37] <OerHeks> !language | xargs
[17:37] <xargs> :(
[17:38] <truexfan81> its running 14.04.3 and unity works nicely, somehow i even get smooth tear-free playback with mpv
[17:39] <xargs> You have to check the wallpaper out, it was distributed with ubuntu. It was extremely wierd. A butt cheek circle where one butt cheek was touching another butt cheak and everyone was a different race.
[17:40] <MELO> Hey guys.
[17:40] <MELO> Is there any tutorial I can use to make a bootable ubuntu disk? dvd+r so I can install ubuntu in my laptop
[17:41] <xargs> I call it the weird interracial butt cheek circle of life. Ubuntu is Lion King.
[17:41] <^74NK> MELO you can make any usb flash stick into a bootable usb
[17:41] <xargs> Click click click
[17:41] <Jaddie> xargs, The only thing I could find was this haha http://orig01.deviantart.net/12cb/f/2007/163/7/d/ubuntu_sexy_2_by_sieg84.jpg

[17:41] <daftykins> xargs: drop it, grow up and leave please.
[17:42] <xargs> It's swahili for shitty fucking debian ripoff
[17:42] <MELO> I don't have any flash drive right now, I had like 3o f them but they suddenly they stopped working
[17:42] <MELO> and all im left with is a dvd drive

[18:06] <RNeville> Bashing-om, thx for the help last night here on #ubuntu - seems like my upgrade problem was solved because of your help
[18:06] <RNeville> Thx , again, Bashing-om !  :)
[18:07] <Bashing-om> RNeville: Good, but left is making sure that you can boot a backup -33 kernel .
[18:09] <akik> for example, this changes f5 to f6 and vice versa: xmodmap -e "keycode  71 = F6 F6 F6 F6 F6 F6 XF86Switch_VT_6"; xmodmap -e "keycode  72 = F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 XF86Switch_VT_5"
[18:10] <Tsutsukakushi> why doesn't `plymouth ask-question --prompt "stuff" | read variable; echo $variable` work in rc.local?
[18:10] <akik> if you want to make the changes stick, you need to create a $HOME/.Xmodmap

[18:32] <nolsen_> TJ-: Yes.
[18:33] <akik> vfw: you can output the whole x11 keyboard layout with "xmodmap -pke". it's a long list but there you could possibly identify the wrongly assigned function keys

What have I forgotten to set ?
[18:46] <dcope> is it possible to just vnc as if i had a display connected to the machine?
[18:53] <SlidingHorn> wachin: kdenlive is a KDE application, and IIRC, Studio uses XFCE.  You'll have to download a bunch of KDE libs, etc.   First:     sudo apt-get install kdenlive frei0r-plugins dvgrab recordmydesktop dvdauthor mkisofs             Once finished, then:    sudo apt-get install kde-runtime   (this will install a LOT of libs)

[18:58] <ShantanuShady>  safe ? please point me to right direction.Thanks
[18:59] <TJ-> cardude419_: 'qemu-img'
[18:59] <cardude419_> @TJ- "qemu-img: Unknown file format 'img'"
[19:00] <cardude419_> @TJ- i used this command: "qemu-img convert -p -f qed -O img windows.qed windows.img"
[19:01] <TJ-> cardude419_: well, what is 'img' supposed to be? what file-format?
[19:01] <cardude419_> @TJ- .img is the output file format, .qed is the input
[19:02] <TJ-> cardude419_: "qemu-img --help" reports the supported file-formats. I'd assume that 'img' meant 'raw'
[19:02] <cardude419_> @TJ- ill try that
[19:02] <cardude419_> @TJ- yep that worked, thanks
[19:03] <TJ-> cardude419_: right, it would, but is what was written what you expect 'img' files to be?
[19:03] <cardude419_> @TJ- probably, i will see when its done
[19:04] <TJ-> cardude419_: 'raw' is literally like taking a bit-wise copy of a hard disk image. If that is what you mean by 'img' all well and good
[19:04] <cardude419_> @TJ- yes

[19:11] <ShantanuShady>  Hi ChanServ i'm having a problem with my ubuntu desktop first i thought it was because of something i broke but i i upgraded from 13.04 to 14.04 still the same , the problem is os gets stuck at shutdown i disabled plymouth animation so i can see what goes wrong and i see every program stops as the way its supposed to but stuck at "reboot : power down" then it stays like that forever some forums said to edit the gurb to force acpi
[19:11] <ShantanuShady>  but is it safe ? please point me to right direction.Thanks
[19:12] <falcon_x> hello ubuntus
[19:13] <OerHeks> arunpyasi, maybe you run into the reason why that package is obsolete.
[19:13]  * Paaltomo hugs falcon_x
[19:13] <falcon_x> lovely ... Paaltomo ... I have questions , do you have answers?
[19:13] <Paaltomo> what's the best partition manager for Ubuntu :)
[19:13] <Paaltomo> haha I also have questions :3
[19:14] <falcon_x> Gparted
[19:14] <Paaltomo> great thanks :)
[19:14] <arunpyasi> OerHeks: hm.. yeah I needed to setup this cause I needed to setup ClipBucket.. :P
[19:14] <Paaltomo> maybe I can help with yours :3
[19:15] <SlidingHorn> wachin: please post the output of      apt-cache policy kdelibs-bin     to a pastebin for me

[19:17] <Bashing-om> RNeville: Maybe the symlink has now been establised after the reboot ? .. show again ' ls -al /vmlinuz* ' . see what is to be done .
[19:17] <Obviosly> The Boot Grub Windows is bad
[19:17] <wachin> SlidingHorn: http://pastebin.com/gNq6hvpN
[19:17] <SlidingHorn> Paaltomo: there's never really a "best" program for everyone's purposes.  It's all about your preferences and what you like.  That being said, gparted seems to be the general standard around here :)
[19:18] <Obviosly> when i enter windows..the screen goes to some thing bad
[19:18] <Paaltomo> For sure, I actually had a more specific problem in that case, SlidingHorn
[19:18] <Paaltomo> I encrypted the main drive when i installed Ubuntu just now and I want to partition it
[19:18] <Paaltomo> GParted doesn't seem to want to divide the encrypted drive
[19:18] <Bashing-om> Obviosly: Video card and driver ?
[19:18] <SlidingHorn> Paaltomo: have you read this?  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ResizeEncryptedPartitions

[19:33] <masaccio> hi
[19:33] <masaccio> ola
[19:33] <SlidingHorn> masaccio: do you have an ubuntu support request?
[19:34] <masaccio> no
[19:34] <SlidingHorn> !pt | masaccio :)
[19:34] <masaccio> I don't understand you
[19:35] <thepeter> masaccio: SlidingHorn was thinking that you speak spanish
[19:35] <SlidingHorn> thepeter: masaccio: well, portuguese, but yeah...
[19:35] <daftykins> english only in here, thanks

[19:36] <thepeter> daftykins: aye aye sir :P
[19:36] <BlueProtoman> I'm about to nuke my PC and reinstall both Windows and Linux.  However, this time I want a common partition shared between them for data that's not OS-specific (like my music, my code, my DropBox contents, etc.).  Which file system should I use?
[19:37] <daftykins> BlueProtoman: i'd go either NTFS or exFAT
[19:37] <BlueProtoman> daftykins: Why one or the other?
[19:37] <platnorm> hello
[19:37] <SlidingHorn> BlueProtoman: what daftykins said...here's more info: http://askubuntu.com/questions/239320/which-file-system-do-i-select-for-sharing-files-between-windows-7-and-ubuntu-12
[19:38] <daftykins> BlueProtoman: no huge edge to one over the other, exFAT will require additional packages be installed in Ubuntu... nothing much else to say
[19:38] <akik> is exfat support native?
[19:38] <akik> i mean non-fuse
[19:39] <BlueProtoman> daftykins: Well, I gotta be mindful of Windows, too, right?
[19:39] <platnorm> exit
[19:39] <daftykins> BlueProtoman: which reads exFAT and NTFS just fine
[19:39] <daftykins> hence me suggesting them
[19:39] <masaccio> OOOOhhhh ola chcos
[19:39] <artois> akik: not fuse
[19:39] <artois> exfat is the unicorn-est fat
[19:39] <daftykins> masaccio: support only in here, nonsensical blabbering and chat in #ubuntu-offtopic thanks.
[19:40] <akik> i think i'll stick with ntfs

[19:43] <Obviosly> HEy which is faster exfat or NTFS
[19:44] <Obviosly> anyon?
[19:44] <Obviosly> which is faster EXFAT or NTFS?
[19:44] <^Magizian^> Cheap HydroAtomic Power       http://magizian.net
[19:44] <TJ-> Obviosly: neither. they don't move
[19:44] <Obviosly> TJ the answer is Ur MOMFAT is faster
[19:45] <artois> Obviosly: for flash, probably fat
[19:45] <artois> if it's a usb stick, just use plain fat until you actually have a reason to have a file greater than 4GB
[19:45] <Obviosly> Do you have any reason to backup that ..statement artois?
[19:45] <artois> Obviosly: sure
[19:46] <Obviosly> can you tell me please sir?

[19:53] <Silvering> Hi everyone! I'm trying to install swift language on my ubuntu 15.10. My problem is that I receive this error message after installing swift and trying to see the version number : "cannot execute binary file : Exec format error." Any idea?
[19:54] <mJimmer> I run netsat -auntp and it is not showing the network as open
[19:54] <mJimmer> or the port I should say
[19:54] <mJimmer> How do I open up ports ?  like say port 2020
[19:54] <BlueProtoman> daftykins: Thanks!
[19:54] <popey> mJimmer, open the port to what?
[19:54] <daftykins> Silvering: run "file" on the binary in question and see what the output is
[19:55] <SlidingHorn> mJimmer: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwj886yOjdfJAhWDWCYKHQffAP4QFggcMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fhelp.ubuntu.com%2Fcommunity%2FIptablesHowTo&usg=AFQjCNFFTs0Rz136RmZcfTU9GHfRiotKBQ&sig2=OL1pzVLy9U_IoMCzCvWHfA&bvm=bv.109910813,d.eWE
[19:55] <SlidingHorn> oops  mJimmer :  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo
[19:55] <mJimmer> popey:  so I have a websocket app that is trying to connect to a different server and it just keeps on saying that that connection is refused.  I looked at the other server and the ports are open and able to talk from other mchines just not from Ubuntu server
[19:56] <Silvering> daftykins: I'm just trying to do : swift -version.
[19:56] <daftykins> Silvering: 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' path
[19:57] <popey> Silvering, 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 stripped
[19:58] <Silvering> which swift returns : /home/ubuntu/Desktop/swift-2.2-SNAPSHOT-2015-12-01-b-ubuntu15.10/urs/bin//swift
[19:58] <nolsen_> Does anyone know how to change the default greeting from unity to cinnamon?
[19:58] <popey> no, that's ls, you want "file"
[19:58] <popey> like this:-
[19:58] <popey> alan@deep-thought:~/Downloads/sw/swift-2.2-SNAPSHOT-2015-12-01-b-ubuntu15.10/usr/bin$ file swift
[19:58] <popey> 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 stripped
[19:59] <lotuspsychje> swift is in repos also right
[19:59] <popey> unlikely
[19:59] <lotuspsychje> !info swift
[19:59] <popey> not the same thin
[19:59] <lotuspsychje> ah kk
[19:59] <popey> thing
[19:59] <Bassem> i have two part ions c:\ windows 7 and d:\ empty, im trying to install Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS and it give me this message in the installing "this computer has no detected operating system"
[20:00] <mJimmer> nolsen_:  look at dpkg-reconfigure <name of service >   or update-alternitives --configure
[20:00] <mJimmer> nolsen_: not sure what the default for lightdm is
[20:01] <mJimmer> nolsen_:  like if I was using gdm3 and I wanted to use sddm  I would do something like   sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3
[20:01] <Silvering> ok so 'file' returns 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 stripped
[20:01] <popey> Silvering, is this a 32-bit or 64-bit install of ubuntu?
[20:01] <Silvering> 32bits
[20:01] <popey> Silvering, with a username like "ubuntu" it looks like you're on a live iso?
[20:01] <popey> thats why!
[20:01] <nolsen_> mJimmer: That doesn't help me.
[20:02] <21WAAF051> Hello guys, any idea why on my Thinkpad T410, *buntu 15.10 fresh install will sometimes boot fine, other times my screen will get stuck at black ( no cursor or anything shown ). It gets stuck on black after BIOS screen flashes.
[20:02] <21WAAF051> Any Ubuntu flavors.
[20:02] <popey> you can't run 64-bit binaries on 32-bit linux
[20:02] <nolsen_> Does anyone else know?
[20:02] <mJimmer> nolsen_:  really what happens if you do sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[20:02] <Silvering> popey : oups I stupid... So I need to download the 32bits package of swift ?
[20:02] <nolsen_> I'm not running that command.
[20:03] <popey> Silvering, or the 64-bit version of ubuntu, yeah
[20:03] <popey> i dont think there is a 32-bit build of swift
[20:03] <mJimmer> nolsen_:  why dont you google it.  or try sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
[20:03] <Bassem> im trying to install Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS on partion D: and it give me this message in the installing "this computer has no detected operating system"
[20:03] <nolsen_> Does anyone know how to change the default greeting from unity to cinnamon?
[20:03] <Silvering> popey : Right, I just checked
[20:03] <lotuspsychje> 21WAAF051: tried LTS also?
[20:04] <21WAAF051> lotuspsychje: I wanted to use the latest version.
[20:04] <21WAAF051> I will try it as well, but interested in using the latest version.
[20:04] <lotuspsychje> 21WAAF051: wich graphics card chipset?
[20:04] <21WAAF051> lotuspsychje: command to check is?
[20:04] <lotuspsychje> 21WAAF051: sudo lshw -C video
[20:05] <21WAAF051> lotuspsychje: one moment
[20:06] <lotuspsychje> Bassem: your windows still boots?
[20:06] <Bassem> yes it dos
[20:06] <Bassem> it's the only operating system on my pc now
[20:06] <Bassem> im using ubuntu from usb
[20:07] <lotuspsychje> Bassem: but you say partition d was empty right
[20:07] <lotuspsychje> Bassem: windows on c?
[20:07] <davidleon> i'm trying to compress a folder of jpg files into webp files. however the cwebp program doesn't support * identifier
[20:07] <lotuspsychje> !dualboot | Bassem
[20:07] <Abe> Bassem: you have to create a dual-boot partition, you can find lots of information about that on the Internet
[20:08] <Bassem> lotuspsychje, yes on c and i want to install ubuntu on empty d partion
[20:08] <davidleon> I tried using pipe. But pipe doesn't transfer the filename as one argument. because of the file names containing space.
[20:08] <davidleon> btw, any bultin support of webp to ubuntu
[20:08] <SlidingHorn> nolsen_: you've already installed cinnamon, I assume?  You should be able to select if from your session options when you log in
[20:09] <21WAAF051> lotuspsychje: Nvidia GT218M [NVS 3100M]
[20:09] <lotuspsychje> !info webp | davidleon
[20:09] <21WAAF051> lotuspsychje: really strange how it will boot up just fine some times, then it will get stuck on black other times!
[20:09] <davidleon> lotuspsychje: i know this pack and installed it
[20:10] <nolsen> Does anyone know how to change the default greeting from unity to cinnamon?
[20:10] <davidleon> lotuspsychje: the issue is all other seems not supporting webp. e.g. image viwer or file manager
[20:10] <davidleon> and i need a smart one-line script to handle the cwebp program
[20:10] <lotuspsychje> 21WAAF051: can you still check wich driver in use?
[20:11] <__null> f
[20:11] <21WAAF051> lotuspsychje: nouveau
[20:11] <davidleon> i wish cwebp *.jpg -o *.webp would work
[20:11] <davidleon> but it doesn't
[20:11] <Bassem> it dosnt give much help.. it dos not tell what to do when i get my message this computer have no operating system
[20:11] <lotuspsychje> 21WAAF051: try an nvidia driver from additional drivers section
[20:11] <mJimmer> Ok So I have opened up the incomming commection and still getting the same error that it can not connect to that ws:XXX.XXX.X.X:1234
[20:11] <davidleon> for f in *.jpg;do echo "cwebp -q 95 \""$f"\" -o \"`echo "$f" | sed -r 's/([^\.]*)\.jpg/\1\.webp/g' `\"";done
[20:12] <21WAAF051> lotuspsychje: Could it driver issue? Strange because it works some time, like right now, it booted up fine. If I go and reboot, most likely will get stuck on black screen after BIOS screen flash up
[20:12] <davidleon> this is the command i've got
[20:12] <davidleon> but it doesn't support file name containing spaces
[20:12] <lotuspsychje> 21WAAF051: can you check additional drivers, wich drivers show up for your system?
[20:12] <Ben64> mJimmer: what are you trying to do
[20:12] <davidleon> \""$f\" doesn't help to make the filename into one argument
[20:12] <lotuspsychje> davidleon: please easy on the enter button, best to re-ask your main issue once in a while here
[20:13] <21WAAF051> lotuspsychje: I selected and applied Nvidia binary driver 340.96 340 updates on the driver list
[20:13] <21WAAF051> waiting to apply and reboot
[20:13] <21WAAF051> thanks
[20:13] <lotuspsychje> 21WAAF051: do you have the 340 also, (not updates)
[20:13] <mJimmer> Ben64:  I have a websocket server that is on a machine on my localnet.   I have a bridged VM running on this net with LAMP  I want to make a webapp that conencts to my Qt/C++ websocket server and what not.
[20:14] <21WAAF051> ah yes
[20:14] <davidleon> for f in *.jpg;do cwebp -q 95 "$f" -o `echo "$f" | sed -r 's/([^\.]*)\.jpg/\1\.webp/g' `;done  <-- this one doesn't support file name containing spaces.
[20:14] <21WAAF051> (Recommended driver)
[20:14] <lotuspsychje> 21WAAF051: try the 340 yes
[20:14] <azizLIGHT> whats steams problem? why cant i close it to tray? it always minimizes
[20:14] <lotuspsychje> !steam | azizLIGHT
[20:14] <lotuspsychje> azizLIGHT: are you using the 358 driver?
[20:14] <azizLIGHT> im using.... lemme see
[20:15] <azizLIGHT> how do i check
[20:15] <lotuspsychje> azizLIGHT: additional drivers section
[20:15] <Ben64> mJimmer: so its a networking problem?
[20:15] <azizLIGHT> lotuspsychje: looks like im using 352
[20:15] <mJimmer> Ben64:  and I keep on getting the error  WebSocket connection to 'ws://XXX.XXX.X.X:1234' failed: Error in connection establishment: net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
[20:16] <21WAAF051> lotuspsychje: rebooted, stuck on black again ( no cursor or anything, just black screen )
[20:16] <21WAAF051> ugh
[20:16] <lotuspsychje> azizLIGHT: can you try a previous perhaps, i heard there are known issues on several drivers and steam
[20:16] <mJimmer> Ben64:  but the ports are open in iptables and also on remote machine (which is on local)
[20:16] <lotuspsychje> 21WAAF051: try 14.04.3 mate
[20:16] <Ben64> mJimmer: yep, sounds like networking issue. connection refused = port isn't open ... maybe try ##networking
[20:16] <ioria> mJimmer, maybe a ssl certificate issue ....
[20:16] <azizLIGHT> lotuspsychje: how do i know which of these belongs to a ppa or which of those belongs to the other ppa (xorg-edgers vs nvidia graphics-drivers)
[20:17] <lotuspsychje> 21WAAF051: or a nomodeset on 15.04
[20:17] <mJimmer> ioria:  it is not wss it is ws
[20:17] <mJimmer> meaning that it is not using ssl
[20:17] <azizLIGHT> lotuspsychje: http://i.imgur.com/NfDOHfG.png
[20:17] <mJimmer> but I could I guess but I do not think that that is a issue
[20:18] <lotuspsychje> azizLIGHT: we dont support ppa's here mate, try a previous driver perhaps and retest steam
[20:18] <azizLIGHT> ok
[20:18] <Bassem> ubuntu can't detect my windows 7
[20:18] <lotuspsychje> azizLIGHT: or ask the #steam or #gamingonlinux channel for known issues with steam
[20:18] <azizLIGHT> thanks
[20:18] <lotuspsychje> azizLIGHT: those guys are pretty up to date
[20:18] <Bassem> i want to install it but it says this this computer currently has no detected operating systems ubuntu
[20:21] <BluesKaj> Bassem, open a terminal and do , sudo update-grub
[20:22] <Bassem> BluesKaj, /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of `/cow'
[20:23] <BluesKaj> Bassem, are you on live-media ubuntu, like a usb or cd ?
[20:24] <Bassem> BluesKaj, yes i want to install it
[20:24] <TJ-> BluesKaj: Bassem is currently running the Ubuntu installer, but it is not discovering the already-installed Windows 7, so no way to proceed with a dula-boot isntall
[20:24] <TJ-> Bassem: run "sudo os-prober" see what it tells you
[20:24] <Bassem> online it says he easiest way to fix the problem is to run fixparts, which comes with Ubuntu in the gdisk package
[20:24] <Bassem> is this right?
[20:25] <BluesKaj> so he has no ext4 parttition to install ubuntu
[20:25] <Bassem> TJ-, it says nothing
[20:25] <TJ-> Bassem: OK, well that is the same tool the installer uses to discover existing OSs, so that explains why
[20:26] <davemwi> hello. longtime Fedora user here, trying out Ubuntu. I'm having trouble with my CD-ROM/DVD drive being recognized. The only way I've been able to find a hint of the drive is with dmesg, but I dont' know where to go from here.
[20:26] <TJ-> Bassem: so, now let's find out what is on the system. do "sudo apt-get install pastebinit", then do "pastebinit <( sudo parted -l )" and tell us the URL of the pastebin it gives you
[20:27] <TJ-> davemwi: usually there's a symlink to such devices as /dev/dvd, /dev/cdrom, /dev/cdrw, /dev/sr0 and similar
[20:28] <davemwi> TJ-: yep, not seeing anything like that...
[20:28] <Bashing-om> TJ-: Bassem If this is a UEFI machine, and attempting to boot ubuntu  UEFI with Windows installed leagcy, would this be the result "  currently has no detected operating systems " ?

[20:28] <Bassem> Bassem, so what can i do?
[20:29] <Bassem> Bassem, the motherboard is asrock z68 pro 3
[20:29] <BluesKaj> Bassem, how old is this pc?
[20:29] <ioria> davemwi, sudo lshw -C disk
[20:29] <Bassem> BluesKaj, its new one
[20:29] <davemwi> ioria: USB and SCSI and then the output...should I send to pastebin
[20:29] <Gaz_> I'm running ubuntu server and both my root and boot partitions are full so I booted ubuntu live and used gparted to resize the root partition, applied the change and checked it showed the new size. When i boot back into ubuntu server the login screen is still telling me the old size, what am i missing to resize the partitions?
[20:29] <ioria> davemwi, yep
[20:30] <lotuspsychje> Gaz_: perhaps the #ubuntu-server guys can assist you better
[20:30] <BluesKaj> Bassem, did you wipe the hdd to install W7?
[20:30] <vladimir_tango> Hello everyone! i am from Apatity
[20:30] <Gaz_> ok thanks
[20:31] <Bassem> BluesKaj, no just format the c: partition
[20:31] <lotuspsychje> !ru | vladimir_tango
[20:31] <TJ-> Bassem: now do "pastebinit <( sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda )"
[20:32] <Bassem> i have 3 partitions c = 100 Gb "windows , d = 100 Gb empty, e= 800 which have all my data
[20:32] <vladimir_tango> i use samsunglapton and ubuntu
[20:33] <vladimir_tango> can i install usb-bluetooth ? and how?

[20:33] <davemwi> ioria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13977785/
[20:34] <vladimir_tango> help
[20:35] <ioria> davemwi, could be a   pin problem ( set to Slave , try Master) or unlikely, not supported ...
[20:36] <Bassem> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13977838/
[20:36] <davemwi> ioria: I think the pin is the only thing I have left to check...
[20:36] <ioria> davemwi, lsblk
[20:37] <davemwi> ioria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13977853/
[20:37] <Abe> Bassem: go into live cd and install gparted, you could do your partitioning yourself, but be careful
[20:37] <ioria> davemwi, usually is sr0 ...
[20:38] <davemwi> ioria: yeah, well, I think the pin is the only thing I can do now.
[20:38] <Red_Phionix> yo
[20:41] <mJimmer> NVM I was able to get it to work.  Had to set the server and off 127.0.0.1 to its ip and change the client webapp to the servers hostname.  Odd but works
[20:42] <Bassem> Abe, its already partitioned
[20:43] <TJ-> Bassem: that looks good (I notice not all the disk space is used). Now do "pastebinit <( sudo blkid /dev/sda* )"
[20:44] <Bassem> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13978017/
[20:50] <lotuspsychje> Bassem: make your life easy and install ubuntu single, loose win once and for good :p
[20:51] <jesuslovesyouthi> Does anyone think that a git repo could be used in connection with apt package manager? Specifically, I'm wondering if there is an easy way to say up to date with this: https://necolas.github.io/normalize.css/    I would prefer not to use an additional package manager beyond what I have already with ubuntu and I don't know if the ones shown on that web page are for apt or not.
[20:51] <Bassem> lotuspsychje, not yet im still new to ubuntu
[20:51] <lotuspsychje> Bassem: ubuntu has everything you need mate
[20:52] <Bassem> lotuspsychje, thats why i need to try it first
[20:52] <Bassem> sudo fixparts /dev/sda
[20:52] <Bassem> FixParts 0.8.8
[20:52] <Bassem> Loading MBR data from /dev/sda
[20:52] <Bassem> NOTICE: GPT signatures detected on the disk, but no 0xEE protective partition!
[20:52] <Bassem> The GPT signatures are probably left over from a previous partition table.
[20:52] <Bassem> Do you want to delete them (if you answer 'Y', this will happen
[20:52] <lotuspsychje> Bassem: virtual machine
[20:52] <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 system
[20:53] <ioria> Bassem, you have Win 7 on gpt ?  have you an EFI mb ?
[20:53] <jesuslovesyouthi> specifically, what I'm after is for it to be pulled in with updates whenever I do an apt-get update / upgrade
[20:53] <Bassem> ioria, yes
[20:54] <lotuspsychje> jesuslovesyouthi: well adding ppa's that wont work
[20:54] <ioria> Bassem, and did you start ubuntu media with the efi label ?
[20:54] <Bassem> ioria, yes
[20:55] <ioria> Bassem, can you boot the livecd ?
[20:56] <Bassem> ioria, im on live usb
[20:56] <Bassem> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13978292/
[20:56] <ioria> Bassem, sudo parted -l
[20:57] <TJ-> ioria: we have that already at http://paste.ubuntu.com/13977629/
[20:57] <ioria> Bassem, fixparts should do the job
[20:57] <TJ-> ioria: fdisk: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13977838/
[20:57] <TJ-> ioria: blkid: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13978017/
[20:58] <TJ-> ioria: the basic issue is os-prober doesn't find the signs of a Windows OS in the NTFS partitions
[20:58] <ioria> TJ- ok....
[20:58] <TJ-> Bassem: for now, say "NO" to fixing the partitions until we know precisely what is going on
[20:58] <Bassem> TJ-, ok im waiting for you
[20:58] <TJ-> Bassem: "sudo mkdir -p /mnt/sda{1,2,3}"
[20:59] <TJ-> Bassem: "for p in 1 2 3; do sudo mount /dev/sda${p} /mnt/sda${p}; done"
[21:00] <BluesKaj> well, i suppose if dparted was used to create an ext4 partition ubiquity will find it if manual partitioning is used
[21:00] <Bassem> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13978376/
[21:00] <BluesKaj> gparted rather
[21:01] <jesuslovesyouthi> Is there any add on for apt that extends its capability to become a package manager for git? Or is there a package manager for git? Or an add on to git that makes it function like a package manager?
[21:01] <Bassem> TJ-, didnt get the second step
[21:01] <BluesKaj> I never let ubiquity do any auto partitioning
[21:01] <TJ-> Bassem: you mean it reported an error, or you missed out doing it?
[21:01] <Jack3k3> Hi Im having some issues with dual screens. Firstly, its setting the wrong one as the primary monitor, which is easy to change by runnign the xrandr command however once I do so I have some weird behavior
[21:02] <Jack3k3> Example matlab is open on primary monitor, if I right click in matlab, the right click menu opens on the secondary monitor always
[21:02] <Bassem> TJ-,  i typed sudo parted -l and thats what i got
[21:02] <Jack3k3> Any ideas how to fix this? I'm assuming theres some confusion between the primray/secondary monitor
[21:02] <TJ->  Bassem OK, don't worry about the partition table for now, what we want to know about is what is in those file-systems
[21:02] <Bassem> TJ-,  ok im with you
[21:03] <TJ-> Bassem: if you've done those previous 2 steps, now do "for p in 1 2 3; do ls -latr /mnt/sda${p}/ ; done"
[21:03] <Bassem> TJ-,  now i did sudo mkdir -p /mnt/sda{1,2,3}
[21:03] <Bassem> what next
[21:03] <TJ-> Bassem: "for p in 1 2 3; do sudo mount /dev/sda${p} /mnt/sda${p}; done"
[21:03] <Oregon_Mike> hey all
[21:04] <lotuspsychje> !info arandr | Jack3k3 try this?
[21:04] <TJ-> Bassem: then do  "pastebinit <( for p in 1 2 3; do ls -latr /mnt/sda${p}/ ; done )"
[21:04] <Bassem> TJ-, sudo mount /dev/sda${p} /mnt/sda${p}
[21:04] <Bassem> mount: mount point /mnt/sda does not exist
[21:04] <Oregon_Mike> need to connect my ps3 for blue ray movie to line in on pc...anyway to do this in ubuntu mate?
[21:04] <Oregon_Mike> ubuntu seems to see the line in but I can't hear the audio?
[21:04] <TJ-> Bassem: you need to execute the entire commands in one line - type, or preferably copy/paste, everything inside the double  quote marks
[21:06] <belovedk_> Oregon_Mike: you mean line in like microphone input?
[21:07] <Jack3k3> Hmm Lotuspsychje, no luck with that
[21:07] <Jack3k3> I do seem to notice that the problem only is occuring the matlab
[21:07] <Jack3k3> all other right click menus show up on the correct screen
[21:07] <Oregon_Mike> yeah sorta
[21:07] <Oregon_Mike> you know how you have the line in on sound card
[21:07] <Oregon_Mike> i have done it way in the past with win 8
[21:08] <Oregon_Mike> just seeing if i can line in with ubuntu
[21:08] <Bassem> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13978550/
[21:08] <belovedk_> Ahh, you have to monitor it then. It won't just play on the computer
[21:09] <belovedk_> You can use pulseaudio to monitor it or jack
[21:09] <TJ-> Bassem: ahhh, something else may have those open. can you do "pastebinit <( mount )"
[21:10] <happyfr0gg> Where can I go to learn about the minimum hardware requirements for Ubuntu 16.04?
[21:10] <jesuslovesyouthi> does apt have anything like an add on or a module? Is it possible to code something to extend apt's functionality?
[21:10] <lotuspsychje> happyfr0gg: #ubuntu+1 for xenial
[21:10] <Bassem> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13978605/
[21:11] <happyfr0gg> lotuspsychje - Is that a channel?
[21:11] <lotuspsychje> happyfr0gg: yes sir
[21:11] <happyfr0gg> lotuspsychje - okay, thanks.
[21:11] <chaence> I have a general question xP
[21:11] <TJ-> Bassem: OK, so sda1 and sda3 have been auto-mounted by the udisks daemon. sda2 we have mounted ourselves, so now we can check out their contents. New command to follow.
[21:11] <lotuspsychje> chaence: shoot if its ubuntu related
[21:12] <Bassem> TJ-, ok what to do
[21:12] <TJ-> Bassem: "pastebinit <( ls -latr /media/ubuntu/C0CE687FCE686F98/ /mnt/sda2/ /media/ubuntu/086D1D34086D1D34/ )"
[21:12] <chaence> Okay, so, I really really want to get rid of my Windows OS. It's constantly buggy and Ubuntu seems like the BEST option. I am very skilled in CMD & other programming platforms but I want a way to install Ubuntu x64 without a CD/USB.
[21:13] <Bassem> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13978647/
[21:13] <lotuspsychje> !usb | chaence
[21:13] <Bassem> TJ-,  its my windows 7 partition
[21:13] <lotuspsychje> chaence: or grub iso install, interested?
[21:13] <nichlas> chaence: without USB?
[21:14] <chaence> Yeah. If worst comes to worst I'll buy a CD from ubuntu
[21:14] <OerHeks> chaence, without usb or dvd or cfcard, isoboot only works if you have grub installed already
[21:14] <chaence> I'll try grub iso
[21:14] <Jack3k3> Is there a way to force primary monitor in Metacity?
[21:14] <Oregon_Mike> maybe go in the mic?
[21:14] <Oregon_Mike> hmm
[21:14] <TJ-> Bassem: right, so /dev/sda3 looks like a separate DATA file-system for the user home directory, /dev/sda1 looks like the OS file-system, and /dev/sda2 looks... empty :)
[21:14] <lotuspsychje> chaence: more info here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot
[21:15] <Bassem> yes my d:\ partition is empty and its 100 GB
[21:15] <chaence> lotuspsychje: thank you! before installing should i format my C:\ drive if I want to remove windows completely?
[21:16] <lotuspsychje> chaence: this method only works with grub right
[21:16] <TJ-> Bassem: give me a couple of minutes to read the source-code of os-prober - I've forgotten what it looks for specifically to tell if an OS exists
[21:16] <chaence> o yea
[21:16] <Bassem> tk ok take your time will wait for you
[21:16] <lotuspsychje> chaence: and you dont need to format, ubuntu setup will do that for you
[21:16] <Bassem> TJ-, ok take your time will wait for you
[21:17] <chaence> okay
[21:18] <lotuspsychje> chaence: any reason you dont want usb?
[21:18] <belovedk_> Oregon_Mike: JACK is the best at that job,  but it can get complicated trying to install it.
[21:18] <OerHeks> chaence, isoboot only works if you have grub installed already
[21:18] <chaence> lotuspsychje: I'd prefer not to use USB as right now I'm not home & I need a simple solution, but if all else fails I have a USB ready
[21:19] <chaence> OerHeks: do I install grub from the command line?
[21:19] <OerHeks> ..lets do it the hard way :-D
[21:19] <belovedk_> If you want to try, look Cadence
[21:19] <TJ-> Bassem: in case you want to follow along, the os-prober shell script that recognises Windows is at /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/20microsoft
[21:19] <OerHeks> ha ha .. no
[21:19] <lotuspsychje> chaence: you have only windows right now?
[21:19] <chaence> yes
[21:19] <chaence> i want everything gone
[21:19] <chaence> just to start over
[21:19] <Bassem> TJ-, so
[21:19] <lotuspsychje> chaence: do it the usb way mate
[21:19] <TheRinger> ^^^]\
[21:20] <TheRinger> winblows
[21:20] <belovedk_> You can first try pulseaudio. pactl load- module module- loopback
[21:20] <chaence> i guess i have no choice xP
[21:20] <Bassem> TJ-, what should i do
[21:20] <chaence> the only sd i have with my atm is a crappy 1gb sandisk and i tried the mini.iso but windows REFUSES to boot from it
[21:20] <chaence> so i'll wait til i get home
[21:21] <lotuspsychje> chaence: mini isnt very reccomended for regular use
[21:21] <Oregon_Mike> belovedk: jack? is that an app in the software center?
[21:21] <chaence> yeah x(
[21:22] <belovedk_> It's an audio server. Yes
[21:22] <lotuspsychje> chaence: another hardway is to use (not reccomended wubi) on 12.04 and then install the grub to iso method with 14.04
[21:22] <davemwi> hello, 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.
[21:23] <daftykins> davemwi: 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 years
[21:23] <Bassem> TJ-, ??
[21:23] <chaence> sigh
[21:23] <chaence> okay.
[21:24] <SchrodingersScat> Oregon_Mike: yes, with some setup you can use the jack controls to patch input to output via software
[21:24] <davemwi> daftykins: then maybe there's something I can do to get it to recognize the drive? I've tried several commands at the shell and the only one that ever revealed anything was dmesg
[21:24] <daftykins> Bassem: be patient.
[21:24] <chaence> i guess in the mean time i can use a VM software and run the iso from there
[21:24] <chaence> to hold me over
[21:24] <daftykins> davemwi: yeah, it detects the drive fine i assume? (you can pastebin dmesg and link me)
[21:25] <Andy_> hi
[21:25] <Andy_> i'm using Lubuntu..does it support OpenOffice?
[21:25] <lotuspsychje> andyfied: better try libreoffice
[21:25] <TJ-> Bassem: OK, it looks as if os-prober will be writing debug log entries to /var/log/syslog. Can you "pastebinit /var/log/syslog"
[21:25] <lotuspsychje> Guest35612: try libreoffice
[21:26] <Guest35612> what is libreoffice? is is a replacement of openoffice?
[21:26] <Bassem> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13978918/
[21:26] <lotuspsychje> !info libreoffice | Guest35612
[21:26] <davemwi> daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13978931/
[21:28] <lotuspsychje> Guest35612: not a replacement, an alternative
[21:28] <Guest35612> which one is better?
[21:28] <lotuspsychje> Guest35612: in my opinion id go for libreoffice
[21:28] <daftykins> davemwi: so what discs have you tested in there?
[21:29] <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 mode
[21:29] <davemwi> daftykins: well, so far just a blank cd-rw...I can try another one.
[21:29] <Guest35612> how do i get libreoffice in lubuntu?
[21:29] <Bassem> TJ-, so what to do
[21:29] <daftykins> davemwi: 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 too
[21:30] <lotuspsychje> Guest35612: sudo apt-get install libreoffice
[21:30] <Bassem> TJ-,  how can i do that?
[21:30] <davemwi> daftykins: Hmmpph! Just put another one in, and everything looks fine...I'll be...
[21:30] <Bassem> TJ-,  my motherboard is asrock z68 pro 3
[21:30] <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 wrong
[21:31] <Guest35612> can i use the user interface to get it instead of typing in the command? sorry, i'm a newbie to linux
[21:31] <lotuspsychje> Guest35612: you can use debi on lubuntu also yes
[21:31] <Bassem> TJ-, how can i take backup of that sector?
[21:31] <daftykins> davemwi: mmm a RW media with no file system would likely do absolutely nothing :)
[21:31] <lotuspsychje> Guest35612: or type sudo apt-get install libreoffice (from a terminal)
[21:31] <TJ-> Bassem: try this: "sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/media/ubuntu/C0CE687FCE686F98/mbr-sector.bin bs=512 count=1"
[21:32] <Guest35612> what is debi please?
[21:32] <lotuspsychje> Guest35612: try software center on lubuntu
[21:32] <Bassem> TJ-,  done
[21:32] <Bassem> TJ-, so what to do now
[21:32] <davemwi> daftykins: 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] <TJ-> Bassem: check the file is there: "ls -l /media/ubuntu/C0CE687FCE686F98/*.bin" and is 512 bytes in size
[21:33] <Guest35612> ok thanks
[21:33] <daftykins> davemwi: you wanted a copy-paste kind of session on there?
[21:33] <Bassem> TJ-, -rw------- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 512 Dec 12 21:32 /media/ubuntu/C0CE687FCE686F98/mbr-sector.bin
[21:34] <Bassem> TJ-, where it been copied to?
[21:34] <TJ-> Bassem: now reboot, and at the PC's manual boot menu, be careful to identify and select the option that will boot the USB installer in Legacy/BIOS mode, not EFI mode. 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-system
[21:35] <davemwi> daftykins: 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 again
[21:36] <Oregon_Mike> in software center, is it called Jack Mixer?
[21:36] <davemwi> daftykins: ok...I think I see what happened. I put the disk in after Brasero was opened. This time I did it the other way around...now I can burn to disk :) lol
[21:36] <daftykins> doh!
[21:37] <ashic> trying to get ubuntu 15.10 host running on new dell precision 5510. kernel recognizes synaptics touchpad, it shows up in xinput list, ans is enabled in settings > mouse and touchpad. however no touches, clicks, etc. are registering in ubuntu. any ideas?
[21:37] <TJ-> ashic: sounds like a common issue, I think we've had a couple of people this last week or so with similar problems
[21:38] <SchrodingersScat> !info qjackctl | Oregon_Mike If I recall correctly, this package is helpful.
[21:40] <nico103> hi
[21:40] <belovedk_> Oregon_Mike: you can use this also kxstudio.linuxaudio.org/Repositories to install cadence, it gives you good graphic control.. You can  connect to any input to any output
[21:40] <nico103> I'm trying to resize a vbox virtual disk holding / for an Ubuntu 14.04 system
[21:40] <nico103> so I've resized the disk in VBox
[21:40] <ashic> TJ: :( was hoping to finally go linux only with the new machine...no trackpad makes it tough.
[21:41] <nico103> but I can't resize / without resizing the partition, and I can't do that without moving the swap partition, which is inside an extended partition
[21:41] <nico103> the extended partition is two blocks larger than the swap partition
[21:41] <belovedk_> Just follow the instructions there to add the ppa, then sudo apt-get install cadence
[21:41] <nico103> gparted doesn't seem to be that smart
[21:42] <nico103> so...  should I just delete that extended partition?  does it hold any boot artifacts?
[21:42] <Bassem> TJ-, ok i'll give it a try
[21:42] <TJ-> ashic: I'm not sure what solution those users found; someone else here may have taken note
[21:43] <ashic> TJ: 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 system
[21:46] <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] <ashic> TJ: xinput test 15 (15 is the device id) shows no events when touchpad is used
[21:47] <TJ-> ashic: right, so try evtest, find out if there are any events
[21:48] <invapid2> is there anyway to get a package deleted on ubuntu's launchpad
[21:48] <invapid2> (if it's completely out of date, so people don't download it)
[21:48] <Ben64> what package
[21:49] <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 events
[21:49] <invapid2> hackrf - but I've only confirmed it's bad on ubuntu 14 LTS
[21:49] <TJ-> ashic: I think the solution was a custom /etc/X11/xorg.conf entry for the input device
[21:49] <invapid2> at least for 14 LTS - the correct thing to do right now is install from source
[21:49] <Ben64> invapid2: how is it bad, where is it from, are you the maintainer
[21:50] <ashic> TJ: 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.
[21:51] <ashic> TJ: Interesting...log shows: [    63.032] (--) synaptics: DLL06E5:01 06CB:7A13 UNKNOWN: touchpad found [    63.033] (--) synaptics: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: touchpad found
[21:51] <TJ-> ashic: I noticed the eventX numbers can be different to the device ID, so dont' get caught out
[21:52] <TJ-> ashic: right, so that suggests its USB-connect with device ID 06CB:7A13
[21:52] <ashic> TJ: Seems touchpad is registered twice...one as Unknown and once as Synaptics
[21:52] <TJ-> ashic: right, this sounds very like what I was describing. check the Xorg.0.log for those 'duplicate ignored' messages
[21:53] <Guest17422> So I'm trying to add a mail account through the ubuntu online accounts thing. Can I specify what port to connect to SMTP over?
[21:56] <invapid2> Ben64: just submitted a bug report for it on launchpad, perhaps someone with proper permissions would remove it
[21:56] <invapid2> don't really understand the package system
[21:58] <stillfaraway12> how to change my Nick password if i forgot it ??
[22:00] <stillfaraway12> Help please !
[22:00] <stillfaraway12> i need to reset my pass
[22:02] <TJ-> stillfaraway12: do /msg nickserv sendpass <nickname>
[22:03] <Bassem> TJ-, ok when i go to the boot meny i get 3 option 1- sata and my harddisk, 2- usb and my usbdrive, 3- uefi :usb  so when i select the second choice i get blank screen and white dash only keep glowing and nothing else
[22:04] <ashic__> TJ: evtest is showing no events from touchpad (even with Unknown disabled)
[22:04] <stillfaraway12> TJ- ; it says " stillfaraway12 is not registered.
[22:05] <nico103> hmmm, never mind
[22:05] <nico103> I think i got it
[22:05] <stillfaraway12> stillfaraway12 ; can i send it to my email ?
[22:05] <stillfaraway12> TJ-*
[22:05] <TJ-> Bassem: OK, so option 2 is the correct one. the 'white dash' sounds like the ISO image hasn't been loaded correctly, or doesn't contain the correct Legacy/BIOS bootstrap code. How did you write the ISO to the USB ?
[22:05] <lotuspsychje> stillfaraway12: join #freenode for such issues
[22:06] <TJ-> stillfaraway12: you'd best ask in #freenode for those kinds of network issues
[22:06] <stillfaraway12> Ok
[22:06] <Bassem> TJ-, i download the iso from ubuntu site and use and application in it's tutorial on how to make usb bootable
[22:07] <staticsn0w> Bassem what os are you on
[22:07] <staticsn0w> Win Mac or something else
[22:07] <Bassem> staticsn0w, now i run uefi:usb to try ubuntu
[22:07] <staticsn0w> Bassem tell me the os you have installed on your pc
[22:08] <Bassem> staticsn0w, windows 7
[22:08] <TJ-> Bassem: did you use a Window 7 tool to write the ISO to the USB device?
[22:08] <Bassem> TJ-, i used that application Universal USB Installer
[22:09] <staticsn0w> Bassem ok, you arent a mac user, good :D
[22:09] <staticsn0w> all you have to do is download unetbootin and follow the instructions
[22:09] <ashic__> Bassem: had some fun with usb, pcie, uefi. had to do this: uefi boot in bios, then uefi boot to ubuntu live usb>try without install>from OS install. as soon a files copied from usb and install starts, pull the usb disk. this is the only way i managed to get it all to work. (ubuntu 15.10)
[22:10] <Bassem> ashic__, what do you mean
[22:11] <TJ-> ashic__: the idea here is NOT to run the installer in UEFI mode, Bassem  NEEDS it in Legacy/BIOS mode to install alongside an existing Windows 7
[22:13] <Voyage> My ubuntu says that the latest version of git it has is 1.9. Is it ok for me to download it?
[22:13] <ashic__> Bassem, TJ: ahh...got it mixed up.
[22:13] <lotuspsychje> Voyage: wich ubuntu version?
[22:14] <Voyage> lotuspsychje,  14.04 lts
[22:14] <lotuspsychje> !info git trusty
[22:14] <lotuspsychje> Voyage: sudo apt-get install git :p
[22:15] <Bassem> TJ-, any other way than univeral usb installer
[22:15] <nolsen> The repositories doesn't have mdm?
[22:15] <Voyage> lotuspsychje, yes but I am asking about the version. The latest is 2.6 or something
[22:16] <MonkeyDust> !find mdm
[22:16] <lotuspsychje> !latest | Voyage
[22:16] <nolsen> Not that mdm.
[22:16] <lotuspsychje> !details | nolsen
[22:16] <TJ-> Bassem: I don't use Windows so I'm not sure; others here will be able to tell you better. Anyone know the best Windows tool/method for writing a pure ISO image to USB, rather than something that tries to insert its own bootloader?
[22:17] <linux|newb> I've made a bootable USB for 15.10 and it works fine on one pc 1 but not pc 2. pc 2, after selecting usb boot medium just takes me to a flashing prompt, accepting no keyboard input
[22:17] <MonkeyDust> nolsen  you mean mint display manager?
[22:17] <Pici> That was an interesting ubottu !find result. /me makes a note to research it later.
[22:17] <nolsen> mdm the desktop manager
[22:17] <linux|newb> neither pc has UEFI so it's not a legacy issue
[22:17] <nolsen> yes.
[22:17] <linux|newb> any ideas?
[22:17] <MonkeyDust> nolsen  that's from a different different distro, ubuntu does not have it
[22:17] <lotuspsychje> TJ-: universal usb installer performs pretty well normally
[22:17] <Voyage> lotuspsychje,  ya, I know, but talking in perspective of git?
[22:17] <TJ-> linux|newb: sounds like PC2 has a buggy BIOS
[22:17] <Hitechcg> TJ-: I believe there's a dd.exe somewhere
[22:18] <Voyage> Can anyone tell me how to make the text color of my text and others as white? I can got to the colors section but I cant find the exact thing
[22:18] <TJ-> lotuspsychje: care to try and help Bassem ? The USB booted in UEFI mode but shows flashing cursor in Legacy/BIOS mode, which is what he needs
[22:18] <TJ-> Hitechcg: oh nirvana :D !!
[22:18] <linux|newb> TJ-: stands to reason as no old distros boot from it anymore either... and they have in the past
[22:18] <Hitechcg> Also, if not that, I prefer Rufus.
[22:19] <linux|newb> TJ-: any way I can definitively check?
[22:19] <lotuspsychje> TJ-: im no dualboot specialist myself, but blink cursor useually means fastboot or secureboot not disabled
[22:19] <lotuspsychje> TJ-: sounds like a job for EriC^^ :p
[22:19] <nolsen> MonkeyDust: Well when I try to find it in a different repository, all the repositories end up with a 404 on apt-get update.
[22:20] <ashic_> TJ: so...I can see two devices are vying for the touchpad, but in evtest, neither is receiving any input from the touchpad. next step?
[22:20] <TJ-> linux|newb: I added a possible workaroud for that to the isolinux/syslinux boot-loader back in 2009 - not sure if you'll have it on that image though. Reboot, holding down the Ctrl key all the time and see if that forces it. It Ctrl doesn't seem to make an improvement, reboot again and hold down the Shift key
[22:20] <Hitechcg> I've had to use dd (on Linux) to make bootable USBs lately because *cough* the built-in USB creator is broken
[22:20]  * linux|newb has tried shift but not ctrl - brb
[22:20] <linux|newb> TJ-: thanks
[22:20] <MonkeyDust> nolsen  now you know why
[22:21] <professornim> hey all
[22:21] <nolsen> MonkeyDust: No, I get 404 on any external repository.
[22:22] <professornim> looking for some help on changing the cursor size in 15.10
[22:22] <MonkeyDust> nolsen  what is the output of  cat /etc/issue
[22:23] <professornim> have googled my issue, tried a few commands, restarted my machine, to no effect
[22:23] <nolsen> Ubuntu 15.10 \n \l
[22:24] <MonkeyDust> nolsen  don't mix repos of different didtro's
[22:24] <lotuspsychje> professornim: unity-tweak-tool can get you other theme mouse pointer
[22:24] <MonkeyDust> distro's*
[22:24] <nolsen> MonkeyDust: I used the instructions for Ubuntu...
[22:24] <linux|newb> yer, no bueno
[22:24] <linux|newb> same flashing prompt
[22:24] <MonkeyDust> nolsen  mdm belongs to mint, not to ubuntu
[22:25] <linux|newb> it's so weird... especially as I've booted off some of these images before
[22:25] <nolsen> Ugh, I'll just go compile it.
[22:25] <MonkeyDust> nolsen  if you can make it work, put a howto or so online
[22:25] <staticsn0w> im having a problem
[22:25] <staticsn0w> :P
[22:26] <nolsen> MonkeyDust: There already is!
[22:26] <professornim> lotuspsychje: no dice
[22:26] <nolsen> http://www.techbrown.com/install-cinnamon-2-6-on-ubuntu-14-15-linuxmint-17-1.shtml
[22:27] <staticsn0w> i downloaded the minecraft launcher.jar file from minecraft.net but i cant run it :(
[22:27] <auronandace> cinnamon is already in the repos
[22:27] <professornim> unity-tweak-tool didn't change anything
[22:27] <nolsen> auronandace: If you read it, you'll see that it also has mdm.
[22:28] <OerHeks> nolsen, it has only trusty/precise candidates https://launchpad.net/~tsvetko.tsvetkov/+archive/ubuntu/cinnamon
[22:30] <TJ-> linux|newb: do you want to test my diagnostic MBR, to at least tell you if a buggy BIOS is the problem?
[22:30] <nolsen> OerHeks: Then I can try using them :P
[22:31] <nolsen> oh wow, it works.
[22:31] <linux|newb> TJ-: yes please
[22:32] <nolsen> Just use the Trusty candidate. :P
[22:32] <TJ-> linux|newb: OK, first I'll link you to the very-well-commented source-code for it so you get an idea of its use and purpose, and I'll also link you to the bootstrap binary (435 bytes!)
[22:32] <linux|newb> TJ-: cheers

[22:40] <wkts> How do you minimize windows in unity?
[22:41] <Tsutsukakushi> guys, ubuntu doesn't have passwd -uf, how do i unlock passowordless account?
[22:42] <Tsutsukakushi> and does chage -d 0 work on passwordless accounts
[22:42] <nico103> when is 16.04 due out?
[22:42] <Tsutsukakushi> nico103: april 2016
[22:42] <nico103> tsutsukakushi: thx
[22:42] <Tsutsukakushi> nico103: 16 is for the year, 04 is for the month
[22:42] <nico103> ah
[22:42] <nico103> got it
[22:44] <Myrtti> third Thursday
[22:44] <Tsutsukakushi> oh, you do usermod -U
[22:44] <Tsutsukakushi> ok
[22:45] <wkts> How do you minimize windows in unity?
[22:45] <wkts> I've nver used unity before
[22:46] <TJ-> linux|newb: if you need an explanation of what the diag results mean, show me what it reports
[22:47] <linux|newb> TJ-: thanks
[22:47] <TJ-> linux|newb: i'd recommend testing it first on the 'good' PC, then compare the result with the 'bad' PC
[22:48] <andy1> what is the command to get libreoffice on lubuntu please?
[22:48] <Tsutsukakushi> andy1: sudo apt-get install libreoffice
[22:48] <andy1> thanks
[22:48] <MonkeyDust> or apt install
[22:48] <Tsutsukakushi> andy1: no problem
[22:48] <Tsutsukakushi> MonkeyDust: not if it's older version of lubuntu.
[22:49] <Tsutsukakushi> MonkeyDust: i'm playing it safe
[22:49] <IKilledJad> can anybody recommend me to a channel for support/help with xchat? new here
[22:50] <Tsutsukakushi> IKilledJad: /list #xchat told me that there is a channel #xchat with 91 people
[22:50] <Tsutsukakushi> IKilledJad: might want to try that
[22:50] <auronandace> IKilledJad: xchat is no longer developed, perhaps you should move to hexchat. for general irc help you can ask in #freenode
[22:51] <Tsutsukakushi> so, usermod -U didn't work on a passwordless account...
[22:51] <Tsutsukakushi> how does one do it then
[22:52] <IKilledJad> well 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 game
[22:52] <Tsutsukakushi> auronandace: something not being actively developed doesn't mean that people should stop using it
[22:52] <Tsutsukakushi> IKilledJad: xchat is just a client, not a server
[22:53] <IKilledJad> I 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] <Tsutsukakushi> IKilledJad: as you i would probably set up a mumble server, it's easier and also has voice chat if you want that
[22:54] <IKilledJad> is 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 chat
[22:55] <Tsutsukakushi> IKilledJad: it's years since i tried mumble on windows, but i haven't had any problems setting mumble up on my linux boxes
[22:55] <IKilledJad> awesome, thanks
[22:55] <IKilledJad> ill try that again
[22:55] <IKilledJad> any other options just in case?
[22:56] <Tsutsukakushi> also 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 network
[22:56] <Tsutsukakushi> some existing network*
[22:58] <IKilledJad> any tips? still new to the entire subject to some extent.
[22:59] <Tsutsukakushi> IKilledJad: i can guide you on that in a pm
[23:05] <Bassem> TJ-, now i boot it legacy/bios and still it cant feel my windows 7
[23:05] <TJ-> Bassem: really!?
[23:06] <Bassem> TJ-,  yes
[23:06] <Bassem> TJ-, im not from legacy booting
[23:06] <Bassem> TJ-, i had to recreat the usb again and run it from legeacy still cant feelmy windows
[23:06] <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?
[23:07] <Bassem> TJ-,  i didnt
[23:08] <yotamL> Hello, 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 reporting
[23:10] <Bassem> TJ-, im in trying ubuntu from legacy.bios
[23:11] <TJ-> Bassem: OK, do "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" again, then do "pastebinit <( grep 20microsoft /var/log/syslog )"
[23:13] <Bassem> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13981036/
[23:13] <Bassem> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13981044/
[23:13] <TJ-> Bassem: os-prober has found Windows 7 !
[23:14] <TJ-> If you start the installer now, does it still say no OS found?
[23:15] <Bassem> TJ-, when i try to install ubuntu it give me the same message
[23:16] <TJ-> Bassem: hmmm, that is strange, because we now know the tool it uses has found an OS
[23:16] <Bassem> TJ-, 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 installed
[23:16] <Bassem> yes but what site to share it on?
[23:16] <TJ-> !paste
[23:17] <TJ-> !screenshots
[23:17] <Scriptonaut> Hey guys, I'm logged in as root. When I type passwd, it prompts me for a new password. I enter it, an dit says passwd: password updated successfully. 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)
[23:18] <Scriptonaut> could somebody help me figure out why the password doesn't seem to be updated?
[23:20] <froggger> home a casa
[23:21] <Bassem> TJ-, http://imgur.com/LE50Fvf
[23:22] <TJ-> Bassem: remind which version of Ubuntu that is?
[23:22] <Bassem> TJ-, Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
[23:23] <Bashing-om> Bassem: Also, have you verified the copy to the USB drive is valid ? ( check disk for defects) ? - proprieties should be observed -
[23:24] <Bassem> Bashing-om, it wouldnt run if its not valid
[23:24] <akik> bassem: the something else option lets you see your current partitions. that would be interesting to see
[23:25] <Bassem> akik, it show my the whole disk without partitions
[23:26] <TJ-> Bassem: I'm looking at several possible bugs in ubiquity (the GUI installer) that report this issue
[23:26] <Bashing-om> Bassem: Wrong assumption there friend . Best to do the check particularly so as the installer is not working .
[23:26] <ignis-fatuus> Having 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 7
[23:27] <Bassem> TJ-, akik http://imgur.com/4pJ9Icz
[23:28] <Bashing-om> TJ-: Yeah .. same as you .. why I asvise to " check disk for defects " to insure ALL files on the liveUSB are intact .
[23:28] <damien> hey 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] <damien> Just realised thatshow i always installs linux
[23:28] <damien> But. i wanna have the space left on it
[23:29] <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 14.04
[23:30] <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 metadata
[23:30] <TJ-> Bassem: does Windows 7 currently boot correctly from that hard disk?
[23:31] <Bassem> ok
[23:31] <Bashing-om> TJ-: You are the one I follow for isolating those offsets !
[23:31] <Bassem> TJ-, yes it work fine
[23:31] <Tsutsukakushi> guys, how do i create passwordless user, there is no passwd -uf and usermod -U doesn't work if it's passwordless...
[23:31] <EmeraldExplorer> Is 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!
[23:32] <TJ-> Bassem: ok, let's try zapping those GPT leftovers then, and hope!
[23:32] <Tsutsukakushi> EmeraldExplorer: dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin
[23:32] <Bassem> TJ-, what do you mean
[23:32] <TJ-> Bassem: does "which sgdisk" report anything?
[23:32] <Bassem> TJ-,  how can i know?
[23:33] <Bassem> TJ-, any command line to try?
[23:33] <TJ-> Bassem: run that command, tell me if it reports anything
[23:33] <TJ-> Bassem: "which sgdisk"
[23:33] <Bashing-om> EmeraldExplorer: Might try to "purge" rather than remove .. as purge will remove the system ( not userspace ) config files .. then install ??
[23:33] <Bassem> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13981351/
[23:35] <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"
[23:36] <ignis-fatuus> this is what I get when I shut go to shut down...any idea? http://i.imgur.com/KI7oaqy.jpg
[23:36] <TJ-> Bassem: after that, step back in the installer GUI then try to have it detect an OS again
[23:36] <gurn56> hello! 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] <Bassem> TJ-,  will any of those command rune my disk?
[23:38] <Bassem> TJ-, will it mess up my hard disk?
[23:38] <andy1> hi
[23:38] <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 disk
[23:39] <Bassem> Invalid partition data!
[23:39] <Bassem> GPT data structures destroyed! You may now partition the disk using fdisk or
[23:39] <Bassem> other utilities.
[23:40] <TJ-> Bassem: ok, so now back to the GUI installer, step it back and then forward to detect OS again
[23:40] <TJ-> Bassem: you might have to quit the installer program and restart it for this to work
[23:40] <Bassem> TJ-,  now it detect it
[23:41] <TJ-> Bassem: At last!!!!
[23:41] <akik> that's just amazing
[23:41] <TJ-> Bassem: you can finally get on now
[23:41] <Bassem> TJ-, yup :)
[23:41] <TJ-> akik: WHAT a bug in ubiquity though
[23:41] <Bassem> TJ-, hope you can offer bit more help through installing
[23:41] <akik> i wish there was a flow chart for uefi & mbr dual booting
[23:42] <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 it
[23:42] <Hink> Does Ubuntu (Server 15.10) not have chkconfig anymore?
[23:42] <Bashing-om> TJ-: Now has some more tweak'n to do in the bug squad .
[23:42] <Bassem> ok
[23:42] <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!
[23:43] <akik> i've only done the mbr way
[23:43] <Bashing-om> TJ-: Hang on one .. I have it handy !
[23:43] <TJ-> Bashing-om: I knew you would :D
[23:43] <Bassem> http://imgur.com/E9nBmyU
[23:43] <Bassem> i want to install it on the free sda2
[23:43] <Bashing-om> Bassem: See: https://iam.tj/kb/pc/boot/#a_bootloader .
[23:44] <Bassem> Bashing-om, i didnt understand any thing of
[23:44] <akik> thanks
[23:44] <TJ-> Bashing-om: thanks, I will bookmark it myself now

[23:46] <TJ-> andy1: "tar -xf x-unikey-1.0.4.tar.bz2"
[23:46] <Bassem> TJ-, sda2 is 100GB for ubuntu
[23:46] <Bassem> do i need to make swap area?
[23:46] <Bassem> or just install it on sda2
[23:48] <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 PV
[23:48] <Tsutsukakushi> how do i create passwordless user, there is no passwd -uf and usermod -U doesn't work if it's passwordless...
[23:48] <ignis-fatuus> need help with system hanging at shutdown
[23:48] <Tsutsukakushi> ?
[23:48] <gke9> hello everyone, I cannot change permissions of a folder with gksudo. I cannot save a file to that folder, either, for 'insufficient user rights'.
[23:49] <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 though
[23:50] <Bassem> TJ-, sda2 and sda3 are same color
[23:50] <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 package
[23:50] <TJ-> Tsutsukakushi: does "passwd --delete" do what you want?
[23:51] <TJ-> Bassem: you need to re-assign the empty partition (/dev/sda2 I think you said) as LVM
[23:51] <TJ-> Bassem: with sda2 selected, press the "Change..." button
[23:53] <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 option
[23:53] <Bassem> TJ-,  then ?? which chooice is for lvm
[23:53] <SchrodingersScat> gke9: 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] <Bassem> TJ-, theres not
[23:53] <akik> i think it's called physical volume (lvm)
[23:54] <TJ-> Bassem: that's annoying. If there definitely is not we'll have to get that done manually from a terminal
[23:55] <Bassem> TJ-, i think when i partitioned the harddisk i made c:\ primery and the rest is logic
[23:55] <gke9> SchrodingersScat, 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] <Bassem> then creat two partions d and e in the logic
[23:56] <TJ-> Bassem: that has nothing to do with LVM though
[23:56] <Bassem> TJ-,
[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 partitions
[23:57] <TJ-> Bassem: so, if the GUI doesn't offer LVM we'll do it manually
[23:57] <Bassem> i have ext4,3,2,btrfs,jfs,xfs,fat15,fat32,ntfs,swap area,physical volume
[23:58] <Bassem> thats all what i get when i click change
[23:59] <TJ-> Bassem: its as akik said "physical volume"
[23:59] <andy1> i want to build by typing ./configure
[23:59] <TJ-> Bassem: that'll be an LVM 'PV' which is what we want
