| Bassem | TJ-, ok | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| andy1 | here's what i got back | 00:00 |
| Tsutsukakushi | TJ-: will --delete remove the lock too? | 00:00 |
| TJ- | Tsutsukakushi: I'm not sure, you'll have to read "man 1 passwd" | 00:00 |
| andy1 | configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH | 00:00 |
| andy1 | how do i resolve that please | 00:00 |
| Tsutsukakushi | TJ-: i did, it didn't mention anything about it | 00:01 |
| Bassem | TJ-, http://imgur.com/zw0BMNg | 00:01 |
| TJ- | Tsutsukakushi: reading between the lines of the --lock explanation, I'd say it does remove the lock since a lock is just a random password not known to the user | 00:01 |
| Bassem | what is that security key? | 00:02 |
| TJ- | Bassem: do you want it encrypted? If not, change the selection in the "Use As" box | 00:02 |
| Tsutsukakushi | TJ-: lock doesn't randomize the password, it just adds ! so it can't be unlocked at all | 00:02 |
| TJ- | Tsutsukakushi: same thing in it makes it impossible to use, but there is still a value in the password field, whereas --delete removes any value | 00:03 |
| Bassem | TJ-, but what else to use | 00:03 |
| TJ- | Bassem: is there not a plain 'LVM' option ? | 00:04 |
| Bassem | TJ-, no the physical volume for encryption | 00:04 |
| Bassem | is only one i got | 00:04 |
| TJ- | Bassem: is there no other choice when you click the down-arrow on the right side of the 'Use as:' box? | 00:05 |
| Bassem | ext4,3,2,btrfs,jfs,xfs,fat15,fat32,ntfs,swap area,physical volume for encryption | 00:05 |
| Bassem | those are the chooices | 00:05 |

| Scriptonaut | Hello, I wanted to remove and reinstall zsh. I did apt-get remove zsh --purge. However, I forgot to change the shell for all my users. I rebooted, and now I can't login as anybody, because /usr/bin/zsh doesn't exist. Am I totally screwed or is there a way to fix this? | 00:10 |
| Dylan____ | How do i update libreoffice to version 5 from ubuntu software center | 00:10 |
| ignis-fatuus | SchrodingersScat: went so far as to boot with a live usb and check all my drives &c. | 00:10 |
| ignis-fatuus | Scriptonaut: I have a pic of what the screen looks like after it timesout after 120 sconds | 00:11 |

| ignis-fatuus | Scriptonaut: http://i.imgur.com/KI7oaqy.jpg | 00:11 |
| Scriptonaut | so, is this related to my issue? | 00:12 |
| Bassem | TJ-, ok waiting for you | 00:13 |
| TJ- | Scriptonaut: boot into the initrd by adding "break=init" to the kernel command line in the GRUB menu. | 00:13 |
| Scriptonaut | how can I do that? I can't login to the machine whatsoever | 00:13 |
| ignis-fatuus | Scriptonaut: sorry...tab malfunction | 00:13 |
| ignis-fatuus | SchrodingersScat: http://i.imgur.com/KI7oaqy.jpg | 00:14 |
| TJ- | Scriptonaut: then remount the root file system read-write, and create a symlink from /usr/bin/zsh to /bin/bash | 00:14 |
| Scriptonaut | how do I do any of this if I can't login to the machine? | 00:14 |
| Scriptonaut | I can't login as root or my main user | 00:14 |
| TJ- | Scriptonaut: hold down shift key as the PC boots until you see the GRUB boot menu, then press 'e' to edit the selection, navigate to the line starting "linux ...", and add " break=init" after the "ro " | 00:15 |
| Scriptonaut | ok, thanks TJ- | 00:15 |
| TJ- | Scriptonaut: then press Ctrl+X or F10 to boot immediately with that setting | 00:15 |
| Dylan____ | Guys can someone help me with my macbook pro | 00:16 |
| Dylan____ | It overheats ubuntu 14.04 | 00:16 |
| TJ- | Scriptonaut: that *should* end up with a busybox prompt as the initial ramdisk script stops just before it is about to call the real userspace /init process. At that point "mount -o remount,rw /" *should* then give you write ability | 00:16 |
| Dylan____ | Its 2010 model with like a old nvidia i think 6 something | 00:17 |
| TJ- | Scriptonaut: Then do "ln -sf /bin/bash /usr/bin/zsh" | 00:17 |
| TJ- | Scriptonaut: then press Ctrl+D to exit the busybox shell and with luck, without needing a further reboot, you should be able to continue into a working system | 00:17 |
| Bassem | Dylan____, overheating can be cause of alot of processing and no good colling | 00:18 |
| SchrodingersScat | ignis-fatuus: yeah, i saw, and when I searched for that 'Tainted: P' that was what came up, good luck | 00:18 |

| Dylan____ | How can i update and get no blackscreen | 00:20 |
| ignis-fatuus | SchrodingersScat: yeah....luck is needed. Thought it might be a kernel issue but dooes it no matter which one I boot into | 00:20 |

| Bashing-om | Dylan____: Patience. Await one with the experiece with a Mac . | 00:24 |
| Bassem | TJ-, how is it going | 00:27 |
| Scriptonaut | TJ-: holding shift did nothing :( | 00:27 |
| TJ- | Scriptonaut: that's the standard GRUB key for halting at the boot menu. Did you use left shift (sometimes right-shift doesn't do it) | 00:28 |
| Scriptonaut | ya left shift | 00:28 |
| TJ- | Bassem: having a few problems with the Try Ubuntu wanting me to log-in :D | 00:28 |
| Scriptonaut | I'm actually on raspbian, maybe it's a bit different | 00:28 |
| TJ- | Scriptonaut: oh, NOW you tell us! completely different, no GRUB for starters! | 00:29 |
| Bassem | TJ-, :D | 00:29 |
| Bassem | TJ-, let us continue it tomorrow | 00:29 |
| Scriptonaut | oh, I'm sorry TJ- | 00:29 |
| Scriptonaut | I fear I really messed my system up | 00:30 |
| TJ- | Bassem: sure, although I think it'd be quicker to do it manually | 00:30 |
| daftykins | raspbian = debian = not this channel | 00:30 |
| Scriptonaut | I'm aware | 00:30 |
| Bassem | TJ-, see you tomorrow tj and many thanks for your great help today | 00:30 |
| TJ- | Scriptonaut: You'll need to take the RasPi SD-card to another PC, mount its root file-system, and do the fix that way | 00:30 |
| Bassem | TJ-, tomorrow we would do whatever you see is right | 00:30 |

| Dylan____ | Im trying to install a driver from a download | 00:33 |
| Dylan____ | It runs in .run but i cant install | 00:34 |
| Dylan____ | Its a nvidia driver from there website | 00:34 |
| Dylan____ | And i dont know what command to use to install | 00:34 |
| daftykins | don't install nvidia drivers that way. | 00:34 |
| Dylan____ | But there updated | 00:34 |
| Dylan____ | ?? | 00:34 |
| TJ- | !gpu | 00:34 |
| daftykins | waste of time for your outdated hardware | 00:34 |
| Dylan____ | Well my nvidia drivers are 320m | 00:34 |
| Dylan____ | So what should i do aye | 00:35 |
| daftykins | 320m sounds more like a chip not a driver version | 00:35 |
| Dylan____ | Well thats the nvidia thing that shows up on terminal | 00:35 |
| Dylan____ | When i enter lspci | 00:35 |
| daftykins | yeah that's the chip, not a driver | 00:35 |
| TJ- | Dylan____: try running "ubuntu-drivers list" | 00:35 |
| Dylan____ | Alright | 00:35 |
| Dylan____ | Ill run that | 00:35 |
| Dylan____ | And ill get back to you in two seconds | 00:35 |
| Dylan____ | Command not found | 00:36 |

| daftykins | don't paste in here | 00:37 |

| TJ- | my brain is fried, suggestions? MD5 hash matches; Check disk: "no errors found" | 00:39 |
| Dylan____ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/13982287/ | 00:39 |
| Dylan____ | That help? | 00:40 |
| TJ- | Dylan____: so the latest matching driver would be "Nvidia-340-updates" | 00:40 |
| Dylan____ | Yes how do i install because im had trouble with black screens | 00:40 |
| Dylan____ | Or is this preinstalled | 00:41 |
| TJ- | Dylan____: "ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" should do the job, but that doesn't guarantee black-screen issues will be solved. | 00:41 |
| Dylan____ | And if i do encounter a blackscreen? | 00:41 |
| TJ- | Dylan____: "dpkg -l 'nvidia*' | grep '^ii' " to list the packages installed | 00:42 |
| Dylan____ | Ok | 00:42 |
| Dylan____ | So i run the first command that u told me | 00:42 |
| TJ- | Dylan____: black-screen is usually a symptom of a mode-setting issue. We sometimes use an additional kernel command-line option "nomodeset" to work around it, but that introduces other problems like non-optimal resolution, no hardware acceleration | 00:42 |

| Dylan____ | Ok | 00:49 |
| Dylan____ | So what do i do now | 00:50 |
| TJ- | nvidia-prime is the way Optimus is supported now, Bumblebee is deprecated | 00:50 |
| Dylan____ | To make sure i dont encounter a blackscreen and making sure it works | 00:50 |
| TJ- | Dylan____: does "apt-cache policy nvidia-prime" report it is installed? | 00:50 |

| mekhami | is it really awful to dual boot windows after ubuntu | 00:59 |
| Dylan____ | Tj i just rebooted my macbook | 00:59 |
| Dylan____ | And i got the blackscreen | 01:00 |
| Bashing-om | mekhami: (??) Nothing wrong with using Windows. One uses what works best in any particular situation . | 01:00 |
| MACscr | im running trusty right now. if i have fuse installed correctly and want to make it available to my linux containers, i should see it in lsmod output, right? | 01:01 |
| mekhami | Bashing-om: i mean creating the dual boot after an ubuntu install | 01:01 |
| mekhami | Bashing-om: everything i hear says start windows than add ubuntu but i'm not gonna do that | 01:01 |
| TJ- | Dylan____: it may need the nomodeset parameter passing to the kernel | 01:01 |
| Bashing-om | mekhami: Will just have to re-install the boot code . | 01:01 |
| TJ- | !nomodeset | Dylan____ | 01:01 |
| ubottu | Dylan____: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 01:01 |
| Dylan____ | Ok can you help me with that? | 01:01 |
| Dylan____ | I dont know how to fix it | 01:01 |
| Dylan____ | But ill get to grub boot menu | 01:01 |
| Dylan____ | Cause i dont understand | 01:03 |
| Bashing-om | mekhami: No problem really ... as said .. when all done will just have to re-install grub, as Windows will replace the boot code . | 01:04 |

After struggling to find the PID, I uninstalled Shutter which also uninstalled ImageMagick. Even though the program is uninstalled a (ghost like) from of it is still in my Dock. I can open the program but can't use or close it. | 01:10 |

| Tashtari | I seem to be having some odd behavior with cron. I can edit root's crontab with crontab -e, but none of the jobs in it execute. Does anyone know if this is expected behavior, or is something awry? | 01:15 |

| meem | hey how to go up and down in the chat page in irssi ? | 01:18 |
| Bashing-om | meem page up and page down keys . | 01:20 |
| meem | is there a key called page ?? | 01:20 |
| meem | I dont see it its i have FR keyboard | 01:21 |
| W9QBJ | meem, "pg up" or "pg down" or use cursor keys | 01:21 |
| Bashing-om | meem: I would think it dependent on the keyboard . Mine is a standard qwerty ASCII board and has the indicated keys . | 01:21 |
| meem | Bashing-om : i got it it says in mine pause and attn | 01:22 |
| Bashing-om | meem: :) | 01:23 |
| meem | Bashing-om : which clinte are you using or u prefer | 01:23 |
| Bashing-om | meem: irssi .. you are aware there is a dedicated channel, #irssi, on this server ? | 01:24 |
| meem | no am not | 01:25 |
| meem | Bashing-om : am ganna try out weechat have u tried it ? | 01:25 |
| W9QBJ | Tashtari, cron works here for root. | 01:26 |
| W9QBJ | Tashtari, if you re-edit the crontab is your edited line there? remember 5 fields of time | 01:27 |
| Tashtari | Yup, it's still there. | 01:27 |
| Tashtari | I've worked around the problem by adding the jobs to /etc/crontab, which is probably what I ought to have done earlier... but this is still really unexpected behavior. | 01:28 |
| Tashtari | And is the same across three different boxes. | 01:28 |
| Bashing-om | meem: We are off-topic for this channel . I tried weeechat briefly ... I prefer CLI . | 01:30 |
| W9QBJ | Tashtari, I just 'sudo crontab -e' added the line "*/5 * * * * ls /etc > /tmp/lsetc" and sure enought the file shows up in /tmp owned by root every 5 minutes | 01:30 |
| Tashtari | I'll try the same thing, hang on... | 01:31 |
| Tashtari | Bother, that worked. That means something -else- is awry... | 01:32 |
| W9QBJ | Tashtari, [hint] if it doesnm | 01:33 |
| Tashtari | [hint]? | 01:33 |
| W9QBJ | t work for me I copy/paste the command portion into a command line and see if it works. | 01:34 |
| W9QBJ | Tashtari, hit return by mistake | 01:34 |
| Tashtari | Definitely does work on the command line... | 01:35 |
| Tashtari | And according to syslog, it's being executed. | 01:35 |
| Tashtari | This is weird. | 01:35 |
| Tashtari | To give a little more context, what I'm doing is automating apt-get autoremove to run once a day (because I've had unpleasant things happen when too many kernel images get downloaded) | 01:36 |
| meem | Bashing-om: what is the command to pastebin something is it "pastebin ifconfig" ?? | 01:36 |
| Tashtari | Which, if it is working, should mean that running apt-get autoremove should show nothing to remove (or at least, very little) | 01:36 |
| alain | hello, anyone know an alternative to Nova Builder? | 01:37 |
| Tashtari | And if I do that right now on the box, it shows eight packages to autoremove. | 01:37 |
| meem | Bashing-om: i want to pastebin an output from cl | 01:38 |
| Bashing-om | meem: If you have the tool install ' ifconfig | pastebinit ' . | 01:38 |
| W9QBJ | Tashtari, does apt-get autoremove require any leyboard input (like yes or no) remember that crontab doesn't have a std-in | 01:38 |
| Bashing-om | meem: installed* | 01:38 |
| W9QBJ | Tashtari, I've not used the remove command | 01:38 |
| meem | yes i got it thanks for the reminder | 01:39 |
| Tashtari | Oh, hell. | 01:39 |
| Tashtari | Haha, I should have noticed that. | 01:39 |
| W9QBJ | Tashtari, you could redirect the input from a file with only 'y' in it | 01:39 |
| meem | Bashing-om : we really can do anything from the cl now that i think of it . | 01:40 |
| Tashtari | I'm gonna try it with the -y option, I thought I had added that at some past point but it seems I didn't... | 01:40 |
| transhuman_ | Hi this is getting a little annoying. One major hassle has lead to discovery of two others.

| Dylan____ | Im working from TTY1 | 03:12 |
| Dylan____ | And i need help | 03:13 |
| phi0xz | hey guys, i'm trying to accomplish the following. my server has a raid1 with a partition setup which i did not choose. it has the space spread to / and /home/ so 1tb to / and 1.7tb to /home/ i currently have used up all the space on / in /downloads/ folder i have downloads. and want to link the /home/downloads/ drive space to /downloads/. i tried to mount with mount --bind but it ended up creating /downloads/ and all my stuff in /download | 03:13 |
| phi0xz | s/ was gone until i did umount /downloads/. i tried making a symbolic link but that didn't have the desired affects either. what i want to do is combine the space for the /downloads/ folder with /home/downloads/ and have the system see it as one folder location but write files it can't write to /downloads/ to /home/downloads/ but appear as /downloads/. | 03:13 |

| Bashing-om | Dylan____: Well, that shows a nvidia driver is loaded . which ? show us ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia | pastebinit ' . | 04:24 |
| madmannnn | I need to scale my desktop down. i have tried xrandr but nothing seems to work | 04:24 |
| Dylan____ | Http://paste.ubuntu.com/13984959 | 04:25 |
| Bashing-om | Dylan____: lotuspsychje will take this over if and when I play out on you . | 04:25 |
| === erwin_ is now known as easyOnMe | ||
| Dylan____ | Ok | 04:26 |
| Dylan____ | I just need this fixed thats all | 04:27 |
| Dylan____ | Then i can get back to what i was doing | 04:27 |
| lotuspsychje | justace: found this older bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pbuilder/+bug/915876 | 04:27 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 915876 in pbuilder (Ubuntu) "pbuilder-dist does not build foreign architecture" [Wishlist,New] | 04:27 |
| Bashing-om | Dylan____: That too looks good .. 340 version driver installed . OK , did we get a config file for it ? show ' ls -al /etc/X11/Xorg.conf | pastebinit ' . | 04:27 |
| Dylan____ | There no such file or directory | 04:28 |
| Dylan____ | Am i missing something? | 04:28 |
| lotuspsychje | Dylan____: when did things go wrong? | 04:29 |
| Dylan____ | About 12pm this afternoon australian daylight savings time | 04:29 |
| Bashing-om | Dylan____: Yep . Let's have the sytem make up that config file ! do terminal command ' sudo nvidia-xconfig ' . | 04:29 |
| Dylan____ | Ok | 04:29 |
| lotuspsychje | !resolution | madmannnn can this help? | 04:29 |
| ubottu | madmannnn can this help?: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 04:29 |
| Dylan____ | Ok done that | 04:29 |
| lotuspsychje | Dylan____: are you up to date to 14.04.3? | 04:30 |
| Dylan____ | I did that | 04:30 |
| Bashing-om | Dylan____: Let's check ' ls -al /etc/X11/Xorg.conf ' . | 04:30 |
| Dylan____ | Ok | 04:31 |
| madmannnn | ubottu thanks for the help, but no. I need there to be black sections on the top bottom and sides so it will shrink the display. like overscan | 04:32 |
| Dylan____ | It keeps saying no file or directory | 04:32 |
| ubottu | madmannnn: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 04:32 |
| Dylan____ | But i made the file | 04:32 |
| Bashing-om | Dylan____: That command "should" have made up a custom config file ! .. do not try and make one up if you do not for sure KNOW what you are doing . | 04:33 |
| justace | lotuspsychje, I don't think I'm building cross architecture though, the package and the chroot arch both are amd64 | 04:33 |
| Dylan____ | I made one | 04:33 |
| Dylan____ | Let me try | 04:33 |
| Dylan____ | Again | 04:33 |
| Bashing-om | lotuspsychje: Ya got a clue why ' sudo nvidia-xconfig ' fails to generate the control file | 04:34 |
| Hink | Whenever I try sudo update-rc.d <script> defaults (Ubuntu 15.10) I get the error: insserv: warning: script 'teamspeak' missing LSB tags and overrides | 04:34 |

| Dylan____ | Had to reboot | 04:35 |
| Dylan____ | Just getting back into text | 04:35 |
| lotuspsychje | Bashing-om: need to find what made this system fail first | 04:36 |
| lotuspsychje | Dylan____: are you up to date to 14.04.3? | 04:36 |
| lotuspsychje | Dylan____: lsb_release -a | 04:36 |
| Bashing-om | Hink: You are imposing upstart on a systemd system . see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers for the howto . | 04:36 |
| Dylan____ | I did the command and i get this | 04:36 |
| Dylan____ | > | 04:36 |
| Hink | Following this tutoiral for a startup script: https://www.vultr.com/docs/creating-a-teamspeak-3-server-on-ubuntu-14 | 04:37 |
| Hink | Bashing-om— | 04:37 |
| lotuspsychje | justace: i would try this on LTS perhaps, not sure either otherwise | 04:37 |
| Bashing-om | Hink: Right 14.XX is upstart , your 15.10 is systemd .. not the same same . | 04:38 |
| justace | lotuspsychje, alright thanks | 04:38 |
| Dylan____ | So vashing what do i do? | 04:38 |
| madmannnn | I need to scale my desktop down. i have tried xrandr but nothing seems to work. i have skylake and am using the hd530. i need to shrink the display on all sides | 04:38 |
| Hink | Okay, this is way over my head, what is it exactly I want to do. Bashing-om? | 04:38 |
| lotuspsychje | !systemd | Hink | 04:39 |
| Dylan____ | Im on ubuntu 14.04.3 lts | 04:39 |
| ubottu | Hink: systemd is the default init system for Ubuntu 15.04 onwards. For information on transitioning from upstart to systemd, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers | 04:39 |
| lotuspsychje | Dylan____: ok good, when did your problem occur? after an update? | 04:39 |
| Bashing-om | Hink: I am in most the same boat as you ... having to learn systemd . see the up link for the guidance of converting your script so systemd will deal with it . | 04:39 |
| Dylan____ | No i was in the irc like 5 hours ago trying to get some nvidia drivers | 04:40 |
| Dylan____ | And like i did what i was told | 04:40 |
| Dylan____ | Rebooted and got the blackscreen | 04:40 |
| lotuspsychje | Dylan____: how did you get nvidia drivers exactly? | 04:40 |
| Dylan____ | Well i didnt install them | 04:40 |
| Dylan____ | But like i tried to or something i forgot | 04:40 |
| Dylan____ | And they gave me blackscreen | 04:40 |
| Dylan____ | It was like ubuntu-drivers install | 04:40 |
| Dylan____ | I did that and it gave me black screen | 04:41 |
| lotuspsychje | Dylan____: check ubuntu-drivers -h please | 04:41 |
| Bashing-om | Dylan____: We have reinstalled the driver, and verified you have authority . I would fully expect with an Nvidia driver that the xorg.conf file is required . lotuspsychje , no ? | 04:41 |
| lotuspsychje | madmannnn: did you read the resolution url? | 04:41 |
| madmannnn | yes | 04:41 |
| === cyborg is now known as Guest47391 | ||
| Dylan____ | So what i do | 04:42 |
| lotuspsychje | Bashing-om: i think xorg isnt needed anymore | 04:42 |
| madmannnn | that does not cover what i need | 04:42 |
| Dylan____ | Cause i tried doing the xorg thing | 04:42 |
| Dylan____ | And it gave me only this > | 04:42 |
| lotuspsychje | Dylan____: check wich driver is active right now please | 04:42 |
| lotuspsychje | !xrandr | madmannnn tweak xrandr resolutions | 04:43 |
| ubottu | madmannnn tweak xrandr resolutions: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 | 04:43 |
| Dylan____ | I did thst ubuntu-drivers -h | 04:43 |
| Dylan____ | And gave me this random stuff about list/install driver packages | 04:43 |
| madmannnn | lotuspsychje I would like to just scale down the display a little. My projector throws the screen over my home screen. so i need to shrink the display. | 04:43 |
| lotuspsychje | madmannnn: ubuntu uses best resolution for your screen, if you need otherwise tweak with xrandr | 04:44 |
| lotuspsychje | Dylan____: try sudo apt-get purge nvidia and reboot please | 04:44 |
| Dylan____ | Ok | 04:44 |
| Dylan____ | Nvidia package isnt installed | 04:45 |
| madmannnn | lotuspsychje tweeking the res is not the problem. in kodi i can fix it by using the overscan feature. i can 'shrink' the display area so there are black bars on my screen on all sides. thats what i need. i need the desktop shrunk so there is black on all sides. | 04:45 |
| lotuspsychje | Dylan____: ok try sudo apt-get install nvidia-340 | 04:47 |
| Dylan____ | Ok | 04:47 |
| Dylan____ | Already newest version | 04:48 |
| lotuspsychje | Dylan____: sudo apt-get purge nvidia-340 | 04:48 |
| lotuspsychje | madmannnn: you need a --scale option on xrandr | 04:48 |
| madmannnn | when i scale it just makes my windows bigger | 04:49 |
| Dylan____ | Ok it tells me y/n | 04:49 |
| Dylan____ | What do i press | 04:49 |
| lotuspsychje | madmannnn: https://sfxpt.wordpress.com/2011/02/02/panning-using-xrandr/ | 04:49 |
| lotuspsychje | Dylan____: yes | 04:50 |
| Dylan____ | Ok | 04:50 |
| Dylan____ | Done | 04:50 |
| Dylan____ | Its removing dkms modules | 04:50 |
| lotuspsychje | Dylan____: let it finish and remove | 04:50 |
| lotuspsychje | and reboot | 04:50 |
| Dylan____ | How do i reboot | 04:50 |
| lotuspsychje | Dylan____: sudo reboot | 04:51 |
| Bashing-om | Dylan____: lotuspsychje I am out of ideas on this , I am going to bail and call it for this session . | 04:51 |
| lotuspsychje | Bashing-om: nite mate and tnx for the support | 04:51 |
| Dylan____ | Just rebooted tell unif i get blackscreen or not | 04:51 |
| Dylan____ | Nope it works | 04:51 |
| Dylan____ | I got the stuffed up lines and dots | 04:52 |
| Dylan____ | So it works | 04:52 |
| lotuspsychje | !yay | Dylan____ | 04:52 |
| ubottu | Dylan____: Glad you made it! :-) | 04:52 |
| Dylan____ | Haha it took so long haha | 04:52 |
| Dylan____ | Thanks i appriecate it | 04:52 |
| Dylan____ | So how can i install those drivers | 04:53 |
| lotuspsychje | Dylan____: now you probably on nouveau driver, test a youtube first | 04:53 |
| Dylan____ | Ok | 04:53 |
| Bashing-om | lotuspsychje: Dylan____ Well ! who'd a thunk it .. up on the noueveau (open source ) driver ! | 04:53 |
| lotuspsychje | Dylan____: if your system performs well stay on nouveau, otherwise choose another nvidia driver from the additional drivers list | 04:53 |
| Dylan____ | Ok | 04:54 |
| Dylan____ | Cause i want to play runescape though i dont think my graphics and mac handle it | 04:54 |
| lotuspsychje | Dylan____: at least we know you can boot with nouveau right | 04:54 |
| Dylan____ | Ok youtube works | 04:56 |
| Dylan____ | Yeah i had the recommended driver on before | 04:56 |
| madmannnn | lotuspsychje that almost works but i have to use a mode that i have. which is 1920x1080 then 1200x720 i need something in the middle | 04:56 |
| Dylan____ | And i think thsat what caused the problem | 04:56 |
| lotuspsychje | madmannnn: 1000x800? | 04:57 |
| madmannnn | mode not supported | 04:57 |
| lotuspsychje | madmannnn: 1024x800 | 04:58 |
| EmeraldExplorer | Is it possible to do a FTP Server A> Dedi B > Client C connection? This is where A can only go to B because of ip restrictions. | 04:58 |
| madmannnn | nope | 04:58 |
| lotuspsychje | EmeraldExplorer: please ask in ##networking | 04:58 |
| wkts | okay so i figured out how to minimize a window in unity | 04:59 |
| wkts | apparently you had to drag it away | 04:59 |
| wkts | a bit unintuitive but next question | 04:59 |
| madmannnn | lotuspsychje i did 1280 x 720 but it still fills my screen | 04:59 |
| wkts | is there a recommended ppa for java8? | 04:59 |
| madmannnn | lotuspsychje i want black bars around my display. | 05:00 |
| lotuspsychje | madmannnn: 800x600 ? | 05:00 |
| lotuspsychje | !ppa | wkts | 05:00 |

| gartral | just testing, can you all hear me? | 05:00 |
| lotuspsychje | !java | wkts | 05:01 |
| ubottu | wkts: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin.

| madmannnn | lotuspsychje anything else? | 05:07 |
| madmannnn | lotuspsychje is there a more robust display manager? | 05:08 |
| lotuspsychje | madmannnn: i hear good things on kde for resolution and external screens | 05:08 |
| goddard | how do i build my own linux kernel "extra" package? | 05:08 |
| lotuspsychje | !mainline | goddard | 05:09 |
| ubottu | goddard: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 05:09 |
| Hink | I just cried converting my startup scripts to systemd. | 05:10 |
| Hink | ;-; | 05:10 |
| Hink | So painful, never again! | 05:10 |
| goddard | lotuspsychje: i been there but it doesn't say anything about how to remove "extra" out of tree modules and it doesn't explain how to build an "extras" package | 05:10 |
| lotuspsychje | Hink: system is the future mate, better get used to it | 05:10 |
| lotuspsychje | systemd | 05:11 |
| Hink | lotuspsychje— pls no, I need to go to sleep, geez that was stressful, at least now I got it so it won't be so annoying. | 05:11 |
| === nikhil is now known as Guest98958 | ||
| ProbablyAndy | i feel like i should take systemd for a spin...but i really don't want to. | 05:13 |
| lotuspsychje | goddard: are you talking about linux firmware extra? | 05:13 |
| lotuspsychje | ProbablyAndy: 16.04 will also have it so... | 05:14 |
| goddard | lotuspsychje: yeah in ubuntu it is the linux-image-extra | 05:14 |
| ProbablyAndy | lotuspsychje: i might put ubuntu in a vm at some point | 05:14 |
| goddard | lotuspsychje: linux-image-extra-4.2.0-19-generic | 05:15 |

| asdopas | On random occasions, my copy of Ubuntu will completely seize up, forcing me to restart. The screen will also glitch out. This only started today, after I fixed some broken dependencies relating to libqt4 and smplayer. Can anyone lead me in the right direction as to investigating why this might be happening? By the way, it's Ubuntu 15.04 amd64. | 05:20 |
| lotuspsychje | goddard: not sure mate did you try the #kernel guys? | 05:20 |
| === administrator is now known as Guest64140 | ||
| goddard | lotuspsychje: nah ill try | 05:23 |
| === Guest98958 is now known as ANJ7 | ||
| asdopas | It happened again. I was able to capture an image of it, here's the close up: http://imgur.com/HtAnuVy | 05:28 |
| ANJ7 | My lenovo laptop is showing charing light even though it is not connected to charger | 05:29 |
| asdopas | This kind of thing fills the monitor. The num lock/caps lock buttons don't even respond. If anyone's out there, can they please help me try to figure out what's happening? | 05:29 |
| asdopas | Maybe Qt is glitching out? | 05:29 |
| ANJ7 | I'm using ubuntu 15.10 | 05:29 |
| ANJ7 | what could be the problem | 05:29 |
| asdopas | I've seen this on clean installs of Linux Mint 17 so it might be something to do with my hardware. | 05:29 |
| madmannn | i have a skylake processor. to get ubuntu to work i had to install linux 4.3. should i also install the official intel drivers/ | 05:30 |
| ProbablyAndy | asdopas: that does smell a bit like a hardware issue. you might be able to look through /var/log/ and find some shreds of clues | 05:30 |
| asdopas | Where in /var/log? There are a bazillion options | 05:31 |
| asdopas | syslog, Xorg, gpu-manager.log? | 05:31 |
| ProbablyAndy | asdopas: syslog and Xorg is where i'd start | 05:32 |
| goddard | how can i remove everything related to the 3.13 kernel? | 05:37 |
| goddard | im getting dkms errors because of 3.13 i think | 05:38 |
| asdopas_ | This is getting really annoying, it's happening every 5-10 minutes now, rather than every 30-40 minutes like previously. I've switched to Xchat. And would it be possible for someone to kick my nick? When I restarted the computer it didn't leave the chatroom. Anyway, I checked syslog and Xorg.0.log but there aren't any clues. At all. Like, syslog ends at 17:17 and it's 21:38 right now. And Xorg.0.log has numbers like [26.979] and | 05:38 |
| asdopas_ | I have no idea what that means. | 05:38 |
| asdopas_ | (such as [ 26.979] (**) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: always reports core events) | 05:38 |
| nicomachus | asdopas_: do `/msg NickServ ghost $username $password` to kick the nick | 05:39 |
| === asdopas_ is now known as asdopas | ||
| goddard | asdopas_: you can register the nick to boot others after 30 seconds of not loging in properly as well | 05:40 |
| nicomachus | as long as it's registered, that is | 05:40 |
| asdopas | It doesn't look like it matters, the nick went away on its own and I was able to rename myself | 05:40 |
| nicomachus | yea it times out | 05:41 |
| asdopas | Onto more important things...which is the latest version of the Xorg log? Xorg.0, or Xorg.1? | 05:41 |
| ProbablyAndy | 0 | 05:43 |
| regedit-work | hello | 05:43 |
| regedit-work | my (K)ubuntu upgrade from 15.04 to 15.10 bricked my laptop, bringing me to grub recovery upon reboot | 05:43 |
| dylan_ | hello there guys | 05:44 |
| regedit-work | trying to make a live USB to try and recover, will it not work if the live partition is the 2nd partition on the USB? | 05:44 |
| dylan_ | my macbook pro is hot right now as i speak can you guys help me | 05:44 |
| asdopas | I looked through Xorg.0, Xorg1, Xorg.0.log.old, and syslog, and none of them gave me any clues, and now I don't know what to do next. | 05:45 |
| ProbablyAndy | asdopas: when it happens, can you ctrl+alt+f1 into a different vt? | 05:46 |
| asdopas | I can't even activate num lock, caps lock or scroll lock. | 05:46 |
| asdopas | When I press the buttons, the lights don't come up. That's how I know the entire system is seizing up. | 05:47 |
| asdopas | I doubt I'd be able to do ctrl alt f1 into a shell. | 05:47 |
| ProbablyAndy | yeah thats sounds like a hard lock of some sort. | 05:47 |
| ProbablyAndy | which explains the lack of logs. | 05:47 |
| ProbablyAndy | how old is this computer? | 05:47 |
| asdopas | It was made from salvaged parts and I received the computer from Free Geek for my volunteer service there. The CPU is Athlon 64 3400+ I think, and the graphics card is Nvidia Geforce 6150SE nForce 430 128MB which I think comes from 2005. I don't have the money to buy new hardware so maybe I should destroy this computer and salvage the gold and other metals within the circuitry, to sell it. | 05:50 |
| asdopas | Salvaged is not the right word. Computers that would otherwise thrown away have their parts recycled, and those parts make up this computer. That's how Free Geek works. | 05:51 |
| ProbablyAndy | i'd be tempted to pull whatever parts aren't essential and see how it runs without them. | 05:51 |
| nitish | How can I download torrent file in ubuntu? | 05:51 |
| nicomachus | !transmission | nitish | 05:51 |
| ProbablyAndy | extra ram sticks for example. video card if you've got a different video card to try (or onboard video) | 05:51 |
| moleverine | nitish: Transmission is a good torrent client | 05:51 |
| asdopas | Until that day comes, I need to figure out a solution. | 05:51 |
| nitish | molevering: how to download transmission? | 05:52 |
| nicomachus | asdopas: have you tried other distros, like lubuntu or xubuntu? | 05:52 |
| asdopas | This is Lubuntu. | 05:52 |
| asdopas | Linux Mint 17 also hard locks randomly, no matter whether it's i386 or amd64, Cinnamon or XFCE. | 05:52 |
| ProbablyAndy | are those really considered other distros? | 05:53 |
| asdopas | When I first got the computer, I used Ubuntu 12.04, but I found Unity was too much of a resource hog so I switched to Linux Mint 12. So it would have been in 2012. | 05:53 |
| ProbablyAndy | hmm | 05:53 |
| moleverine | nitish: it may already be installed. If not, you can run this from the terminal: sudo apt-get install transmission-gtk | 05:53 |
| Artemis3 | asdopas, how much ram? | 05:53 |
| asdopas | I only upgraded so I could get recent versions of Pinta. | 05:53 |
| asdopas | 2GB of ram, 128MB on the graphics card. | 05:54 |
| ProbablyAndy | asdopas: parts of me also suspects the power supply. are you doing anythign particularly intensive when it happens? | 05:54 |
| Artemis3 | asdopas, thats plenty, 32bit mate, or cinnamon or xfce would do fine. | 05:54 |
| nitish | molevering: thanks. it was already installed. I was looking for transmission instead of transmission-gtk. | 05:54 |
| asdopas | This only started happening today. When I use Chrome, it happens. | 05:54 |
| asdopas | I guess Chrome is extremely intensive. | 05:54 |
| jason__ | do you have swap? | 05:54 |
| ProbablyAndy | hmmmmm | 05:54 |
| asdopas | Yes I have swap. | 05:54 |
| ProbablyAndy | that is interesting. | 05:54 |
| nicomachus | asdopas: you need to try some diagnostics and figure out what's bad. SMART disk check, memtest, etc | 05:54 |
| Artemis3 | asdopas, and don't bother with the gold thing, you'll spend more melting it, pollute far more and get nothing, also amd uses even less gold than intel | 05:55 |
| dylan_ | maybe try elementary os?? | 05:55 |
| ProbablyAndy | or be a madman and take slackware for a spin ;) | 05:55 |
| HackerII | straight debian would prolly work | 05:55 |
| dylan_ | or maybe the mini.iso and customize what u need | 05:55 |
| ProbablyAndy | HackerII: agreed. that too. | 05:55 |
| dylan_ | xfce is lightweight | 05:55 |
| asdopas | Debian doesn't natively recognize my Belkin USB wifi dongle. | 05:55 |
| HackerII | and use nvidia 173 drivers for that card | 05:55 |
| nicomachus | dylan_: he's using lubuntu... | 05:55 |
| robotics | Belkin? | 05:56 |
| dylan_ | i know that | 05:56 |
| dylan_ | im using Xubuntu | 05:56 |
| Artemis3 | asdopas, lubuntu/xubuntu, ubuntu mate, and respective mint flavors all would do fine in that, use 32 bit | 05:56 |
| asdopas | Plus I like having proprietary add-ons, Flash, etc. | 05:56 |
| dylan_ | flash u can get in software center | 05:56 |
| dylan_ | the plugin | 05:56 |
| asdopas | Where do I find the diagnostics? In "System Information and Benchmark"? | 05:56 |
| dylan_ | but that and java are vulnable to viruses | 05:56 |
| nicomachus | asdopas: forget all of this about switching distros. you've already got one of the most lightweight ones available and that hardware should run it. run a SMART disk check and memtest, figure out what's bad. | 05:57 |
| asdopas | Yes dylan_, but my point is Debian does not include the Windows creature comforts that Ubuntu/Lubuntu/Mint offer in installation., | 05:57 |
| Artemis3 | asdopas, whats the problem? | 05:57 |
| dylan_ | have you tried zoran os? | 05:57 |
| nicomachus | asdopas: SMART disk check is in "disks", and memtest can be selected at your grub screen | 05:58 |
| nicomachus | dylan_: stop recommending other distros, that's not a solution. | 05:58 |
| asdopas | What are the commands to run SMART disk check and memtest nicomachus? And Artemis3, if you've arrived late, I'm encountering random hard locks and I'm trying to investigate the issue. | 05:58 |
| nicomachus | asdopas: SMART disk check is in "disks", and memtest can be selected at your grub screen | 05:58 |
| dylan_ | nicomachus whats he trying to achieve mate | 05:58 |
| Artemis3 | asdopas, ok start with memtest then | 05:58 |
| frank1e | is there some good anti virus/malware scanner that is free and does not mess up the OS with false positives for Ubuntu 14.04? | 05:59 |
| asdopas | Where is "disks"? I'm not a power user, what may be second nature or rote to you is mysterious to me. | 05:59 |
| dylan_ | frankle | 05:59 |
| dylan_ | you dont need antivirus | 05:59 |
| asdopas | Is "disks" in grub as well, or can I access it from the start menu | 05:59 |
| dylan_ | read here | 05:59 |
| nicomachus | asdopas: disks can be accessed from the start menu. it's going to check your hard drive | 05:59 |
| asdopas | But I start with memtest first. | 06:00 |
| Blue1 | you really don;t need av software, but if you;re paranoid I believe clamav is in the repo | 06:00 |
| Artemis3 | asdopas, disk errors won't usually cause hard locks just make it very slow and stuff failing (and log would show messages) | 06:00 |
| dylan_ | http://askubuntu.com/questions/10373/do-i-need-to-have-antivirus-software-installed frankle | 06:00 |
| Artemis3 | asdopas, ram, gpu, and psu would be the first ones to inspect imo | 06:00 |
| asdopas | Then what's the point of SMART disk check? It seems that memtest is all I need. | 06:00 |
| dylan_ | check that link out should help | 06:00 |
| frank1e | dylan_ yes I do, my other machines have been compromised earlier in my network with different operating systems and this one is the last one I would need to check and clean if needed. | 06:00 |
| dylan_ | yes but linux doesnt need antivirus | 06:00 |
| asdopas | Also, gpu is a marketing buzzword by Nvidia. I prefer "video card" or "graphics card". | 06:00 |
| ProbablyAndy | you only really need AV on linux if you're trying to protect windows boxes that work with files handled by a linux box | 06:00 |
| dylan_ | hackers cant get the root password | 06:00 |
| Artemis3 | asdopas, if the motherboard has onboard video, try without the nvidia, for example. | 06:00 |
| nicomachus | dylan_: that is entirely false. | 06:01 |
| dylan_ | pfft | 06:01 |
| frank1e | dylan_ you are wrong. | 06:01 |
| dylan_ | nico dude | 06:01 |
| dylan_ | dont try and be some hero | 06:01 |
| frank1e | ever heard about cryptolocker for example? | 06:01 |
| dylan_ | yes mate | 06:01 |
| asdopas | So, I shouldn't start with memtest first, Artemis3? | 06:01 |
| dylan_ | and thats a windows virus | 06:01 |
| dylan_ | not a linux one | 06:01 |
| frank1e | no | 06:01 |
| asdopas | Because it seems like an effective first step. | 06:01 |
| dylan_ | frankle dude | 06:01 |
| frank1e | dylan_ you still are wrong. | 06:01 |
| dylan_ | im not getting in a argument | 06:01 |
| Artemis3 | asdopas, graphics processor unit.. yeah do memtest first. | 06:01 |
| frank1e | me neither. | 06:01 |
| dylan_ | frankle | 06:01 |
| amicrawler | does any body know how to speed up my wifi card | 06:01 |
| asdopas | Okay, O | 06:01 |
| frank1e | anyone who really can help? | 06:01 |
| asdopas | I'll be back. | 06:01 |

| dylan_ | but whatever you know better think your some smart person | 06:06 |
| ProbablyAndy | frank1e: ClamAV is more for looking for windows viruses that linux may accidentally pass on to windows machines, there aren't really any known linux viruses running around in the wild. | 06:06 |
| nicomachus | lotuspsychje: there's no reasoning with him, apparently. | 06:06 |
| ProbablyAndy | frank1e: but since other OS's had problems for you, it would be wise to scan your linux box with clamAV to make sure nothing is hiding out. | 06:07 |
| frank1e | ProbablyAndy Oh okay. I'm just trying to find out if this machine has been infected with a linux version of some cryptolocker fork too before it could go on and do damage | 06:07 |
| nicomachus | regedit-work: boot-repair is automatically installed on your kubuntu live disk. you can run it from terminal with `boot-repair`, and it will automatically do it's thing. try that first and then report back if that doesn't work. | 06:07 |
| dylan_ | cryptolocker virus is a windows virus omg | 06:07 |

| carrera | 15.10 desktop installer keeps crashing on my Asus G751, even before the GUI starts, because of the nouveau driver and mini.iso doesn't even boot because of UEFI. Any ideas as to how I can install ubuntu desktop? | 06:25 |
| ProbablyAndy | carrera: back in the day they had an ncurses based installer which would get you around the nouveau issue... and i think it got rolled into the new installer somewhere, but i can't remember where. | 06:27 |
| Artemis3 | ProbablyAndy, that still exists. | 06:30 |
| amicrawler | ok paste | 06:30 |
| Artemis3 | ProbablyAndy, you can use the mini.iso or server iso | 06:30 |
| amicrawler | can any body look | 06:30 |

| carrera | ProbablyAndy, Artemis3, I managed to install the server and configure my 2 SSD drives in RAID0, then I installed Ubuntu MATE, but things weren't as clean as the straight desktop install. For one, ethernet can't be controlled from the little app on the tool bar | 06:32 |
| regedit-work | it says it had an error, and gave me this URL http://paste.ubuntu.com/13985858/ | 06:32 |
| ProbablyAndy | Artemis3: so I see. i could swear i had this exact conversation a month ago, and we ended up deciding it was part of the regular iso. /me shrugs. | 06:32 |
| carrera | Artemis3, I'm on the MinimalCD page as we speak, and here is what it says: Note: While the minimal iso image is handy, it isn't useful for installing on UEFI-based systems that you want to run in UEFI mode. The mini iso lacks the proper files for booting the computer in UEFI mode. Thus, the computer will boot in BIOS compatibility mode, and the installation will be in BIOS mode. | 06:33 |
| === nikhil is now known as Guest57877 | ||
| === Guest57877 is now known as ANJ7 | ||
| Artemis3 | carrera, there is a meta package, it installs the same files in the end. So you can have the mini iso installed in command line only mode, and then just apt-get install mate-desktop for example. | 06:33 |
| ProbablyAndy | amicrawler: is there anything from later in the dmesg log? | 06:34 |
| carrera | ProbablyAndy, Artemis3, does the note on the MinimalCD page mean that I will not be able to boot into ubuntu using UEFI after the install? | 06:34 |
| Artemis3 | carrera, it is also possible to choose the desktop at install time (expert mode?, don't remember well) | 06:34 |
| Artemis3 | carrera, if you can put your system into legacy, better do that | 06:35 |
| regedit-work | upgrading from 15.04 to 15.10 resulted in system freezing and becoming unbootable. I managed to boot-repair with a live USB | 06:35 |
| regedit-work | but what should I do now: boot to the previous kernel? to the upgraded kernel? how to recover from the potentially unfinished upgrade? | 06:35 |
| carrera | Artemis3, oh, I thought UEFI boots much faster | 06:35 |
| amicrawler | http://paste.ubuntu.com/13985885/ | 06:35 |
| amicrawler | http://paste.ubuntu.com/13985885/ | 06:35 |
| carrera | Artemis3, I only run ubuntu on my laptops | 06:35 |
| Artemis3 | carrera, not really, it might, or might not, its not worth the trouble unless you are sharing it with an already installed os in uefi mode | 06:36 |
| nicomachus | regedit-work: try to boot into the new kernel, see if it works after the boot-repair | 06:36 |
| ProbablyAndy | amicrawler: can you post the whole dmesg? something like "dmesg > log.txt" in terminal, and then upload log.txt to paste.ubuntu.com | 06:37 |
| regedit-work | nicomachus: ok but how can I ascertain whether some things are broken or half upgraded? | 06:37 |
| amicrawler | the hole thing | 06:37 |
| amicrawler | of all my dmesg | 06:38 |
| amicrawler | it give out if | 06:38 |
| amicrawler | info | 06:38 |
| ynix | Is it possible to hibernate to a file instead of a swap partition? | 06:38 |
| Artemis3 | you could always make a swap file :) | 06:38 |
| carrera | Artemis3, yes, it's possible to choose the desktop in mini.iso, not the server | 06:38 |
| asdopas | I'm back, memtest86+ showed no errors after going through the 8 tests. I'm going to a SMART disk test next. Should it be short or extended? | 06:39 |
| nicomachus | regedit-work: once you get booted, you can run `sudo apt-get -f install` and try to finish the upgrade | 06:39 |
| nicomachus | asdopas: short should suffice. | 06:39 |
| Artemis3 | carrera, i think so, i'm used to install command line only then apt-get my way, but yes thats nice too. | 06:39 |

| carrera | Artemis3, what do you mean a MATE desktop meta package? | 06:40 |
| regedit-work | nicomachus: booting seems to have hanged, and....caps is blinking on/off??.. | 06:40 |
| Artemis3 | carrera, you install this package and it depends on anything else you need as if you had installed from the ubuntu mate iso | 06:40 |
| ProbablyAndy | amicrawler: hmm. perhaps "dmesg | grep ath10k > log.txt" | 06:41 |
| Artemis3 | carrera, in ubuntu they usually are named *-desktop (ie. xubuntu-desktop) | 06:41 |
| asdopas | For SMART data, all the Assessment benchmarks are OK. Artemis3, how do I do diagnostics on the PSU? | 06:42 |
| carrera | Artemis3, my problem is that mini.iso on a flash won't boot. Not even With the CSM (Compatibility Support Module) turned on in my Award BIOS. | 06:42 |
| asdopas | If I haven't already. | 06:42 |
| regedit-work | nicomachus: if googles are correct, caps blinking means kernel is panicking, right? | 06:42 |
| regedit-work | this is all around bad news D: | 06:42 |
| carrera | Artemis3, right, I know the *-desktop meta packages | 06:42 |
| Artemis3 | asdopas, memtest is good? all passed? for the psu you would need another one, or a tester... | 06:42 |
| nicomachus | regedit-work: that's possible. try the older kernel | 06:43 |
| asdopas | I don't understand. | 06:43 |

| Artemis3 | asdopas, also try with another graphics card (onboard if available) | 06:43 |

| amicrawler | http://paste.ubuntu.com/13985908/ | 06:44 |
| amicrawler | here is the dmesg | 06:44 |
| asdopas | That also might be it, ProbablyAndy. When I cleaned up the issues with the broken libqt4 dependencies via Synaptic and apt-get -f install, it uninstalled Chrome as well. I had to re add the PPA and apt-get google-chrome-stable again. | 06:45 |
| asdopas | But if it's the package, how do I know that that's the problem? | 06:45 |
| regedit-work | nicomachus: i think one difference i'm noticing between the new kernel boot command list and the old one is the apsence/presence of a UUID, perhaps referring to a specific disk (just guessing) does this make any sense? | 06:45 |
| ProbablyAndy | amicrawler: hmph. it looks like its using some kind of generic firmware? i dunno. ... | 06:45 |
| asdopas | Also to Artemis3, I don't have another card on me, and I can't really afford to buy a new one since I don't have any income. | 06:45 |
| asdopas | Which is one of the reasons I was so grateful to get this computer! | 06:45 |
| nicomachus | regedit-work: I'm not sure, we're hitting the limits of my knowledge at this point. :/ | 06:45 |
| regedit-work | nicomachus: either way i booted into text mode of the previous kernel, so hod do i repair/finish the upgrade - i just apt-get -f install? | 06:45 |
| regedit-work | *how | 06:46 |
| nicomachus | I believe that's how I did it previously. | 06:46 |
| ProbablyAndy | asdopas: well it coule be the package, or one of its shared libraries...its a bit of a trial and error process | 06:46 |
| amicrawler | there is times i can get full speed | 06:46 |
| Artemis3 | asdopas, yes it would be nice if you had another card and psu to test things, you might have luck switching from the proprietary driver to nouveau or vice versa give it a try | 06:46 |
| asdopas | What should I do? apt-get remove google-chrome-stable, apt-get purge chrome, something else? | 06:46 |
| nicomachus | regedit-work: before -f install you may try `apt-get --fix-missing` as well | 06:47 |
| Artemis3 | and use chromium with pepperflash-plugin | 06:47 |
| regedit-work | nicomachus: apt-get defferred me to dpkg --configure -a, which is processing a bunch of stuff now it seems... | 06:47 |
| asdopas | To Artemis3, I didn't have this problem with the proprietary drivers until today. I don't think that's the issue. | 06:47 |
| nicomachus | regedit-work: ok, that's good. | 06:47 |
| nicomachus | after that is done, do `apt-get --fix-missing` and then `apt-get -f install` | 06:48 |
| Artemis3 | asdopas, if the problem is the card, yes you might. hard to tell without another to try | 06:48 |
| Artemis3 | asdopas, hmm what buntu version do you use? | 06:48 |
| asdopas | I'll have to Macgyver my way out of this in lieu of having a second card. It's Lubuntu 15.04. | 06:48 |
| amicrawler | some times i can get my wifi card to go 14MB/sec down and 1.4MB/sec up | 06:49 |
| Artemis3 | asdopas, you might have also better luck with 14.04 (LTS), it is wise to stick to LTS versions | 06:49 |
| asdopas | Unless I get objections, I will apt-get purge google-chrome-stable | 06:49 |
| nicomachus | amicrawler: speed variations can have TONS of explanations... | 06:49 |
| asdopas | amicrawler: Settle down there, Google Fiber | 06:49 |
| nicomachus | asdopas: :) don't make fun of my Fiber bro | 06:49 |
| amicrawler | fiber is ok | 06:50 |
| ProbablyAndy | amicrawler: not seeing anything that really indicates a problem with your card. hmmm. | 06:50 |
| asdopas | But I wanted the bleeding edge updates from the latest version, Artemis3...they've put me in a predicament for now but otherwise they've served me | 06:50 |
| amicrawler | bonded pair is good as well | 06:50 |
| amicrawler | lan speed i'm good | 06:51 |
| Artemis3 | asdopas, the LTS can be maintained from 2~5 years, while the non LTS are dropped after 9 months. Also non LTS tends to be more unstable, i have know people having crashes with 15.10 for example. | 06:51 |
| amicrawler | my nic is 10/1000 | 06:52 |
| carrera | is this ok to burn the mini.iso to a flash or should I go for smaller block size:dd if='./mini.iso' of=/dev/sdd bs=4096 | 06:52 |
| Artemis3 | carrera, the block size is just a buffer, to make the copy a bit faster, it won't make a difference in the end :) | 06:53 |
| amicrawler | why is my wifi speed show up at 6mb/s | 06:53 |
| amicrawler | why is my wifi speed show up at 6Mb/s | 06:53 |
| carrera | Artemis3, oh, thank you! :-) | 06:53 |
| amicrawler | can i change that ? | 06:54 |
| nicomachus | Artemis3: all LTS are maintained for 5 years, and non-LTS are maintained for 9 months. no variation there. | 06:54 |
| Artemis3 | old habits nicomachus | 06:54 |
| asdopas | I have run apt-get purge google-chrome-stable. I've also removed the PPA. I will use Firefox in the interregnum (if God will forgive my sins) and try again with the Chrome .deb from Google.com/chrome. | 06:54 |
| nicomachus | asdopas: you could also try Chromium. | 06:54 |
| asdopas | The open source variant of Chrome? | 06:54 |
| nicomachus | yes. | 06:55 |
| asdopas | Which do you prefer? | 06:55 |
| Artemis3 | asdopas, chromium is pretty much the same anyway, without fonts or flash, but you can install those too | 06:55 |
| nicomachus | firefox. but if you want Chrome, Chromium is great. | 06:55 |
| asdopas | I just realized, I have a lot of bookmarks and other extensions saved on Chrome. They're useful and I don't know if Chromium will restore them when I log into my Google account. | 06:55 |
| nicomachus | it will. | 06:56 |
| easyOnMe | I tried doing this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 06:56 |
| nicomachus | you can also directly copy the bookmarks folder over | 06:56 |
| easyOnMe | and this is what I got back: W: Failed to fetch http://ph.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/binary-i386/Packages Hash Sum mismatch | 06:56 |

| ubottu | nicomachus: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 06:57 |

| Artemis3 | easyOnMe, i'd suggest you change your mirror | 06:57 |
| easyOnMe | oh ok | 06:57 |
| easyOnMe | change mirror again | 06:57 |
| easyOnMe | is there no other way of solving this | 06:57 |
| easyOnMe | I have been changing mirrors everytime I encounter this problem | 06:57 |

| carrera | Artemis3, it worked. Thank you sir! :-) | 06:59 |
| carrera | Artemis3, I used to turn on the BIOS compatibility but didn't move the Generic USB Flash boot option to the top | 07:00 |
| amicrawler | ok i got it to work | 07:01 |
| asdopas | Do you think that 2016 will be the Year of Desktop Linux? | 07:01 |
| amicrawler | my wifi matched my isp speeds | 07:01 |
| ProbablyAndy | easyOnMe: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15505775/debian-apt-packages-hash-sum-mismatch that seems promising. | 07:01 |
| amicrawler | 14MB/s | 07:01 |
| amicrawler | down and 1.4MBs up | 07:02 |
| nicomachus | congrats, amicrawler | 07:02 |
| amicrawler | but not to sure how to make it stick | 07:02 |
| carrera | Artemis3, my American Megatrends BIOS also shows a UEFI USB boot option for the mini.iso. Is there absolutely no way I can install with UEFI? | 07:02 |
| carrera | Artemis3, I really like the seedy boot with UEFI | 07:02 |
| amicrawler | here is the form i used to get my card to work | 07:03 |

| amicrawler | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2300861 | 07:03 |
| pcquanit1997 | hello | 07:03 |
| carrera | Artemis3, No bios splash page and no FakeRAID controller page with the ctrl-I option with UEFI | 07:03 |
| Artemis3 | carrera, i cannot say, but i imagine it won't work with the mini iso as its warned | 07:03 |
| easyOnMe | ProbablyAndy: thanks I will try this out | 07:04 |
| pcquanit1997 | What is the software? | 07:04 |
| nicomachus | pcquanit1997: what do you mean? | 07:04 |
| carrera | Artemis3, is there a way I can add UEFI later, if I create a 100 MB partition for it now? | 07:04 |
| amicrawler | my ubunt conections still shows 6Mbps | 07:04 |
| Artemis3 | carrera, my experience with uefi is rather limited, even tho i own a motherboard with uefi, i always used it in legacy, sorry | 07:05 |
| easyOnMe | one more thing | 07:05 |
| carrera | Artemis3, no problem, thanks anyway | 07:05 |
| amicrawler | how to i make my settings stick | 07:05 |
| nicomachus | amicrawler: what settings? | 07:05 |
| carrera | Artemis3, one last question. Why do you like legacy BIOS better? | 07:05 |
| easyOnMe | is it possible to use my laptop as a server for my application that I can access even from outside | 07:06 |
| Artemis3 | carrera, it just works? :) | 07:06 |
| ProbablyAndy | easyOnMe: depends one the application? | 07:06 |
| easyOnMe | what I mean is used my own laptop at home as server that the public can access the application that I place in my laptop | 07:06 |
| carrera | Artemis3, perefectly valid reason! :) | 07:06 |
| amicrawler | under edit connections | 07:06 |
| ProbablyAndy | carrera: the only reason i've seen to use UEFI is if you're trying to dual boot windows. other than that, it doesnt' have any advantages. | 07:06 |
| amicrawler | for wifi and lan | 07:06 |
| nicomachus | easyOnMe: yes, you can do that in a variety of ways. SSH for example | 07:06 |
| easyOnMe | ProbablyAndy: I am just contemplating of a web based application | 07:06 |
| amicrawler | gui is unity | 07:06 |
| easyOnMe | say like a database driven application | 07:07 |
| easyOnMe | nicomachus: you mean the general public can access it via the internet | 07:07 |
| easyOnMe | that is what I meant | 07:07 |
| carrera | ProbablyAndy, Thank you. I just like it cause it goes straight to grub. No splash page, No FakeRAID page, etc... | 07:07 |
| ProbablyAndy | easyOnMe: well the answer is yes, thats totally possible. the details though are many and may be beyond the scope of this channel. | 07:07 |
| nicomachus | easyOnMe: if you leave the port open with no password... yes they could. that's definitely not advised... | 07:07 |
| ProbablyAndy | carrera: it is pretty blingy like that :) i like all the scrolling text though, makes me feel like some kind of superhero nerd. | 07:08 |
| carrera | ProbablyAndy, lol | 07:08 |
| carrera | ProbablyAndy, you're cool! | 07:09 |
| === adam__ is now known as Guest57369 | ||
| X61 | a nerd is a foolish or contemptible person who lacks social skills or is boringly studious, which begs the question do you know what you're talking about. I suggest you don't. | 07:09 |
| easyOnMe | similar to those of amazon but not that big | 07:09 |
| easyOnMe | just for the city wide application | 07:09 |
| ProbablyAndy | easyOnMe: the basics of it though are that you'll have to port forward a port to your laptop for the port taht you need to use. typically port 80, although most ISP's block 80 (mine does), so i usually end up using 8080 or 81 | 07:09 |
| ProbablyAndy | carrera: :D | 07:10 |
| bean | easyOnMe, you'd be far better off just renting a VM or VPS | 07:10 |
| ProbablyAndy | easyOnMe: bean is definitely in the right here. | 07:10 |
| easyOnMe | bean: yup I understand | 07:11 |
| easyOnMe | but what I want to venture out is just have the experience of doing so | 07:11 |
| ProbablyAndy | i run a server from my house, and it works, but i only have roughly 1 user. | 07:11 |
| easyOnMe | can anyone lead me some online resources that I can use though | 07:11 |
| bean | easyOnMe, it also depends on what ports your ISP blocks, if any | 07:11 |
| tenX | bean: what ports do ISPs block these days? | 07:12 |
| nicomachus | none of this is on topic | 07:12 |
| bean | tenX, a lot of them block mail ports, some block web. | 07:12 |
| easyOnMe | ProbablyAndy: I only have a hundred users at the most | 07:12 |
| easyOnMe | probably even less | 07:12 |
| bean | nicomachus, is right, this is a support channel. | 07:12 |
| easyOnMe | bean: ok but do you know of any tutorial on how I can proceed doing so | 07:12 |
| tenX | bean: yeah ok. just for interest. | 07:12 |
| carrera | ProbablyAndy, If I really like the "blingy boot", is there a way I can add it after the install, given that I set aside a partition for UEFI at the beginning of /dev/sda during installation? | 07:13 |
| bean | easyOnMe, please don't try to run anything of any real seriousness off your laptop for "a hundred users" | 07:13 |
| nicomachus | ^ the users agree | 07:13 |
| carrera | easyOnMe, Hi, what kind of laptop is this? | 07:13 |
| easyOnMe | bean: what do you mean | 07:13 |
| easyOnMe | carrera: 32 bit | 07:14 |
| ProbablyAndy | carrera: I'm gonna go with yes, but I don't really know where to start. I've done UEFI precisely once on my laptop, and it wasn't even ubuntu. | 07:14 |
| bean | easyOnMe, i'm saying you shouldn't ever run 'production' off of an old laptop | 07:14 |
| carrera | easyOnMe, great! :-) | 07:14 |
| easyOnMe | the model just right before i5 got introduced | 07:14 |

| dylan | is there like idk some sort of server/chat that can help me | 07:20 |

| nicomachus | cuchufli: I haven't tried this, but you may try adjusting power settings in your system settings. there's an option there for what to do when your laptop lid is closed. options are "suspend" or "do nothing". changing that to "do nothing" MAY resolve but I can't verify. | 07:50 |
| dylan | can you help me with my overheating problem please | 07:51 |
| dylan | sorry i had to get dinner | 07:51 |

| asdopas | Here's what's been going on since I was gone. I've had three hard locks thus far, while experimenting with Chromium. The first occurred at 23:30 my time, about 30 minutes after my last contact on IRC. I had 6-7 tabs open in Chromium, one of which was Youtube. I restarted, then got another hard lock immediately at the login screen. I got a third hard lock about 3 minutes ago, when I updated Nvidia CUDA and other updates to from 30 | 08:05 |
| asdopas | 1.128 to 301.133, with four tabs open (one of them being Youtube). I noticed that the hard lock began with the sound skipping on the Youtube video that was on for a few seconds, before its cutting out completely. And since it was asked, I tried doing a ctrl alt f1 shell but nothing was responding. So, I'm back to step one. Please don't recommend I get another graphics card or install a new OS, those are things I'm either not will | 08:05 |
| asdopas | ing to do, or unable to do. | 08:05 |

| eSnake | howdy folks | 08:08 |
| eSnake | anyone know if there are any vulnerabilities using this IRC? | 08:09 |
| nicomachus | jindu: because most viruses are not geared toward linux. but that's not really a question for this channel, this is strictly ubuntu support. | 08:09 |
| jindu | ok | 08:09 |
| nicomachus | eSnake: this is an ubuntu support channel. Feel free to ask questions regarding ubuntu support, and please read the /topic | 08:09 |
| ProbablyAndy | asdopas: smells like hardware to me. without substituting parts, the only thing i can think is to maybe yank the graphics card, boot it up, and just let it run. if you can still toggle the numlock in a few hours, then its the graphics card? total shot in the dark, but given the limitations you've laid out, there aren't many other options. | 08:09 |
| nicomachus | ProbablyAndy: given the YouTube stuttering I'm inclined to say graphics as well, but it seems he didn't want to hear that. | 08:10 |
| eSnake | okay if I use this IRC will it compromise my Ubuntu OS? | 08:10 |
| nicomachus | eSnake: no. | 08:10 |
| ProbablyAndy | nicomachus: that or power supply. power supply failures are a pain. | 08:10 |
| asdopas | I almost forgot, it's an integrated graphics card, the Geforce 6000SE series. There's nothing to yank. | 08:11 |
| asdopas | I doubt it's power supply. The reason why is because this problem had been nonexistent between the time I installed Lubuntu 15.04 to today, Saturday December 12. | 08:12 |
| asdopas | So that would have been at least three months. | 08:12 |
| nicomachus | power supply's go bad. | 08:12 |
| ProbablyAndy | asdopas: unless you can pin it on a certain even that happened today, such as a change or software or something, then it it isn't logical to rule out the power supply | 08:13 |
| ProbablyAndy | i suppose you could install a different distro and see if it does similar things. | 08:13 |
| nicomachus | or try a live version | 08:14 |
| ProbablyAndy | that would at least narrow down hardware vs software. | 08:14 |
| ProbablyAndy | nicomachus: that does seem easier. | 08:14 |
| asdopas | That's the thing. My guess is that it has something to do with the installation of libqt4 and other ancillary packages, I had broken dependencies when I tried to install smplayer. There must have been a glitch somewhere. | 08:14 |
| nicomachus | asdopas: do you have a live USB lying around? | 08:14 |
| asdopas | No. Why not a live CD? | 08:15 |
| nicomachus | that works too | 08:15 |
| asdopas | Should I switch to 32 bit? | 08:15 |
| asdopas | I don't see how 64 bit would help me. | 08:15 |
| asdopas | It seems to be the source of my troubles. | 08:16 |
| ProbablyAndy | shouldn't make a difference either way | 08:16 |
| asdopas | Also, on my current copy of the Lubuntu 15.04 boot CD, when I try the "something else" option and try to partition, I get an error and it doesn't resize the partition. Is there an alternative, like Hirens Boot CD? | 08:16 |

| nicomachus | DarwinSurvivor: do you have any iptables rules? | 08:39 |
| nicomachus | QVIKti455: iVPN? never heard of it | 08:39 |
| nicomachus | TheHackOps: yes | 08:40 |
| DarwinSurvivor | nicomachus: nope, "ACCEPT" for all 3, no rules | 08:40 |
| ludza | guys how do you setup and use a customised vimrc in ubuntu vivid vervet? | 08:40 |
| QVIKti455 | https://www.ivpn.net/ | 08:40 |
| nicomachus | DarwinSurvivor: that's the only dialog box I can think of during a release upgrade, is asking if you want a backup-copy of your iptables rules... | 08:40 |
| QVIKti455 | It's just a VPN service for browsing around the Net. | 08:40 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ludza: you just edit ~/.vimrc | 08:40 |
| QVIKti455 | I got an IP from them by paying a fee and now I have to put it into Ubuntu to use it. | 08:40 |
| nicomachus | QVIKti455: there's a setup page on their site... https://www.ivpn.net/setup/ | 08:40 |
| ludza | there is none. in my ~ folder | 08:41 |
| DarwinSurvivor | nicomachus: ok, I'm used to all the questions being a simple text output and asking for a "Y" or "N", never seen an ncurses question in an upgrade before... | 08:41 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ludza: then simply create it (it's a plain text file) | 08:41 |
| TheHackOps | nicomachus, Ok let me just grab together a useful log file, also the module at fault seems to be radeon.dpm | 08:41 |
| QVIKti455 | Looks too complicated + advanced for me. I know how to do it on Windows. | 08:41 |
| QVIKti455 | I need to open up the network preferences and put the VPN IP in there somewhere. | 08:41 |
| nicomachus | QVIKti455: the instructions are pretty explicit on that site... we can't really make it any easier here. | 08:42 |
| TheHackOps | Is gist ok in here? | 08:42 |
| DarwinSurvivor | QVIKti455: have you tried https://www.ivpn.net/setup/gnu-linux-netman.html ? | 08:42 |

| TheHackOps | A bit of googling appears to be pointing to the DPM underpowering the card | 08:43 |

| QVIKti455 | Does Ubuntu have an easy GUI for accessing the network settings? | 08:43 |
| QVIKti455 | If so then I should be able to do it without the terminal. | 08:43 |
| TheHackOps | nicomachus, I am very happy for the card to draw 100% power all the time | 08:44 |
| TheHackOps | If it needs to | 08:44 |
| nicomachus | QVIKti455: the instructions for the GUI are on that page, at the link DarwinSurvivor provided. | 08:44 |
| TheHackOps | I should mention, the crashes only happen when an OpenGL context is active and buffering data to the card and then being rendered | 08:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ludza: I am unfamiliar with pymode. it looks like a vim plugin, is that correct? | 08:44 |
| QVIKti455 | AH, i see. | 08:45 |
| QVIKti455 | thanks. | 08:45 |
| TheHackOps | Seems that when FPS ramps up the DPM fails to deliver the correct power setting and the card is starving | 08:45 |
| ludza | DarwinSurvivor: yes it is | 08:45 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ludza: then you should still be able to use ~/.vimrc without much trouble (though depending on what pymode does, some settings may cause difficulties in pymode) | 08:45 |

| QVIKti455 | I'm using Unity. Wondering if I should use something else. | 08:47 |
| QVIKti455 | Cinnamon on Ubuntu? | 08:47 |
| DarwinSurvivor | QVIKti455: cinnamon | 08:47 |
| nicomachus | sorry TheHackOps, I'm not familiar with the project. Looking at it on SourceForge now but it's not something I've used | 08:47 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yes, works much better with 4K than the others I've tried | 08:47 |
| nicomachus | QVIKti455: that's a taste thing, and not something that's on-topic here. | 08:47 |
| TheHackOps | nicomachus, Its ok I believe it was added into the 3.13 kernel to help support more AMD hardware | 08:47 |
| QVIKti455 | nicomachus: I like to know what the pros are using. | 08:47 |
| nicomachus | QVIKti455: that's fine, but this is strictly a support channel. | 08:48 |
| TheHackOps | apparently I can disable it | 08:48 |
| DarwinSurvivor | QVIKti455: if you want to talk about pros/cons of different packages, I'll be happy to meet you in #ubuntu-offtopic | 08:48 |
| TheHackOps | nicomachus, Its a kernel parameter I am reading | 08:48 |
| nicomachus | TheHackOps: ah, ok. well if you aren't getting enough power if may be a hardware issue, if your PSU isn't providing what you need. Or does this DPM throttle that somehow? | 08:48 |
| nicomachus | s/if may/it may/ | 08:49 |
| TheHackOps | nicomachus, So I have a 1200 watt psu, but DPM kills that off | 08:49 |
| === klaus is now known as Guest34623 | ||
| TheHackOps | in times of low power useage | 08:49 |
| TheHackOps | Only giving the card enough power for the current clock speed | 08:49 |
| TheHackOps | When you buffer more to the card the card will auto clock it self | 08:50 |
| nicomachus | ahhh, I see. | 08:50 |
| TheHackOps | DPM seems to fail to allow more power though | 08:50 |
| TheHackOps | And so the card chokes | 08:50 |
| TheHackOps | I dont even belive DPM was a useful addition to the kernel for desktop | 08:50 |
| TheHackOps | nicomachus, In your opinion is it safe to remove it? | 08:51 |
| TheHackOps | Its shipping with Ubuntu itself AFAIK | 08:51 |
| nicomachus | looks like it ships with the radeon driver. you could try using the proprietary driver, or remove it. | 08:51 |
| TheHackOps | nicomachus, The proprietary driver *Never* worked for me | 08:52 |
| TheHackOps | Many years ago it did | 08:52 |
| TheHackOps | If i install it now, thats bye bye to my system I have to drop to root shell and clean it all up before i can book again | 08:52 |
| TheHackOps | boot | 08:52 |
| nicomachus | ah. well, there is (surprisingly) a channel just for the radeon driver at #radeon on freenode. I've had good luck there before. They may know how to configure DPM to throttle correctly. | 08:53 |
| TheHackOps | nicomachus, Anyway onto solutions that seem to have worked (acording to issue trackers around the place) | 08:53 |
| TheHackOps | If i add radeon.dpm = 0 to the kernel params it fixed it | 08:53 |
| nicomachus | I don't see anyone having that issue, unfortunately. at least not that I can find so far. | 08:54 |
| TheHackOps | nicomachus, Not on ubuntu | 08:54 |
| TheHackOps | But arch linux | 08:54 |
| TheHackOps | https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=179906 | 08:54 |
| TheHackOps | I started looking here | 08:54 |
| TheHackOps | nicomachus, This is more a radeon issue though so Ill ask them as well for good merits | 08:55 |
| nicomachus | although there's a somewhat similar sounding issue in this bug: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60523 | 08:55 |

| TheHackOps | Thats my issue | 08:56 |
| TheHackOps | Different card but i have 2 monitors | 08:56 |
| TheHackOps | And same GPU family | 08:56 |
| nicomachus | there are some patches linked there that you may check out | 08:56 |
| === ^-^v is now known as Zachary_DuBois | ||
| nicomachus | interesting: users report that booting with 1 monitor detached, and then reattaching second monitor after boot and connecting it with xrandr, resolves the issue. but that's kind of a hassle | 08:57 |
| nicomachus | the end of the thread is recent posts, too, so it's likely something they're working on a final patch for. | 08:58 |
| TheHackOps | Yeah wow | 08:59 |
| TheHackOps | I get the same dodgy output | 08:59 |
| nicomachus | well give that a good read, and try some of those patches then. | 08:59 |
| nicomachus | it's 3:00am here so I'm gonna hit the sack. night all. | 08:59 |
| TheHackOps | My GPU speed steps up 100mhz like I thought but the DPM level does not | 08:59 |

| ratrace | srsly... where did it go? | 10:10 |

| Globalirc | and this is pastebin http://pastebin.com/g3VRmJju | 10:11 |
| ratrace | ikonia: so reporting bugs via launchpad has been deprecated? | 10:11 |
| ikonia | Globalirc: you've done a lot more than just run a mysql install command | 10:12 |
| ikonia | ratrace: there is still a manual way, I think it's in that URL | 10:12 |
| ratrace | ikonia: canonical obviously doesn't want us to report bugs. | 10:12 |
| adityan | hi | 10:12 |
| ikonia | ratrace: re-read what I said before getting on your high horse | 10:12 |
| Globalirc | ikonia maybe in past i was trying to install and dont work and now i try again | 10:13 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Globalirc: have you followed any other tutorials? knowing what was done before hand will make solving the problem MUCH faster | 10:13 |
| Globalirc | i look in history to see if is any for mysql tutorials | 10:14 |
| ikonia | Globalirc: basically remove the broken deb from cache, let it re-download it, then manually resolve any of the package conflicts it's trying to do | 10:14 |
| ratrace | ikonia: still no way to submit a bug through launchpad. I give up. | 10:16 |
| Globalirc | ikonia: apt-get update and try to reinstall ? | 10:16 |
| ikonia | ratrace: ok | 10:16 |
| ikonia | Globalirc: not what I said | 10:16 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Globalirc: I'd do an "apt-get clean" first to get rid of the old cached debs | 10:17 |
| Globalirc | ok DarwinSurvivor | 10:17 |

| Cherrett | Ok, thanks :) | 10:38 |
| Globalirc | ikonia how i remove them ? | 10:39 |
| Globalirc | and install mysql | 10:39 |
| ikonia | amokpaule: what package | 10:39 |
| DarwinSurvivor | amokpaule: individual ppa's are not supported in #ubuntu irc channel, but the ppa mechanism itself is. either way, more information is definitely needed | 10:39 |
| ikonia | Globalirc: you've got the package names, remove them using the software center tool | 10:39 |
| amokpaule | Its the mumble packet and i think its not related to the packet as it works on my other comp. | 10:40 |
| akik | ikonia: Globalirc the rc status means the package has already been removed | 10:40 |
| ikonia | it's pending | 10:40 |
| DarwinSurvivor | amokpaule: which PPA? | 10:40 |
| ikonia | akik: a good spot | 10:41 |
| amokpaule | ppa:mumble/release | 10:41 |
| DarwinSurvivor | amokpaule: please use pastebin to show the output of "dpkg -l | grep -i mumble' | 10:41 |
| DarwinSurvivor | amokpaule: please use pastebin to show the output of "dpkg -l | grep -i mumble" | 10:41 |
| DarwinSurvivor | amokpaule: also, "apt-cache policy" | 10:41 |
| DarwinSurvivor | akik: ikonia Globalirc yes, but it still has config stuff left over, which could potentially conflict with package-controlled files. an "apt-get remove --purge ..." may clean it up, assuming you don't need to preserve and settings/data already set up | 10:43 |

| streulma | hello, I have an asus notebook and my pc thinks always he is on battery, this can be solved with a modified DSDT. Other people this have? | 11:04 |
| MonkeyDust | what's dsdt | 11:04 |
| streulma | dsdt is the information where bios info is stored, acpi info | 11:05 |
| === kook is now known as ffio_ | ||
| ikonia | streulma: so you're saying a "modfied bios to fix this" ? | 11:07 |
| streulma | https://github.com/RehabMan/Laptop-DSDT-Patch/issues/23 | 11:07 |
| ikonia | streulma: would it not be a better starting point to look at the power managment tools from ubuntu and see if there is a miss-configuration, or a bug | 11:07 |
| bekks | MonkeyDust: Differentiated System Description Table. | 11:07 |
| cfhowlett | streulma, if this is true, it's not an ubuntu issue, you need to consult ASUS | 11:07 |
| bekks | It is part of the BIOS, actually. | 11:07 |
| streulma | it's not supported by ASUS and also reported as a bug in Ubuntu which can't be solved. In Windows battery status is ok | 11:08 |
| streulma | on the link I provided there s a patch | 11:08 |
| ikonia | streulma: why can't it be solved in ubuntu ? | 11:08 |
| cfhowlett | patching bios is a trivial matter. if you know what you're doing, go for it. | 11:08 |
| streulma | so it should be patched in DSDT and load dsdt.aml in grub | 11:08 |
| Grimm_ | Hi, please how do I change the IP address of my computer? | 11:09 |
| ikonia | Grimm_: are you using dhcp ? | 11:09 |
| Grimm_ | No | 11:09 |
| ikonia | streulma: you don't seem to be asking how it should be done- you seem to be telling us what to do, if you believe that strongly that you are correct in your approach, why are you not doing it ? | 11:09 |
| ikonia | Grimm_: how did you configure the static IP ? | 11:10 |
| streulma | it fails when recompiling dsdt with errors | 11:10 |
| === li is now known as Guest7288 | ||
| ikonia | streulma: how is that an ubuntu problem ? | 11:10 |
| Grimm_ | ikonia: I'm a newbie to Ubuntu. I did not configure anything related to the IP | 11:11 |
| ikonia | Grimm_: who did ? | 11:11 |
| Grimm_ | ikonia:I just installed Ubuntu about a week ago | 11:12 |
| ikonia | Grimm_: ok - then how do you know you're not using dhcp ? | 11:12 |
| bekks | streulma: then you need to fix the errors. | 11:13 |
| Grimm_ | ikonia: I don't know I just assumed | 11:13 |
| MonkeyDust | Grimm_ do you mean the local or the public IP address? | 11:13 |
| ikonia | Grimm_: ok, so when I ask you in future if you are doing X - and you don't know say "I don't know" not "no I am not" | 11:13 |
| ikonia | Grimm_: so lets walk this through | 11:13 |
| ikonia | Grimm_: why do you need to change your IP address ? | 11:14 |
| Grimm_ | I tried logging in into OpenMRS and I got an error saying my IP has been flagged as a spam | 11:15 |
| Grimm_ | What does that even mean? | 11:15 |
| ikonia | then you don't need to change your IP | 11:15 |
| ikonia | you need to contact MRS and get it unflagged | 11:16 |
| Grimm_ | I tried that I reported this to HelpDesk | 11:16 |
| ikonia | http://openmrs.org/about/contact/ thre is a technical support contact | 11:16 |
| ikonia | as well as a phone number | 11:16 |
| bekks | Grimm_: Then you need to wait for it to be fixed. | 11:16 |
| ikonia | oh, and an IRC chat | 11:17 |
| ikonia | so you could log a call, or talk to people real time | 11:17 |
| Grimm_ | I've been waiting for 3 days now | 11:17 |
| ikonia | then pickup the phone | 11:17 |
| ikonia | or chat to someone on IRC | 11:17 |
| bekks | Three days, and two of them are weekend days. | 11:18 |
| ikonia | Grimm_: you're not even in their IRC channel on this very network | 11:19 |
| Grimm_ | Check again I'm there | 11:20 |
| ikonia | no, you're not | 11:20 |
| MonkeyDust | Grimm_ type /j #openmrs, ask there | 11:20 |
| Grimm_ | #openmrs-gci | 11:20 |
| ikonia | thats the wrong channel | 11:20 |
| ikonia | it's #openmrs as it's says on the contact page of their official website | 11:20 |

| SirMoo | Doesn't seem to help bekks. | 11:56 |
| bekks | SirMoo: You didnt do that, that fast. | 11:56 |
| SirMoo | bekks: I do my homework before I come in here. :P | 11:56 |
| bekks | Well, removing quiet splash should change the behaviour significantly, as "no dots anymore" when removing splash. | 11:57 |
| SirMoo | Yes. Then it's just purple... However, I've made progress by removing the $vt_handoff or what ever line... and now I just get a shell. | 11:58 |
| MrCeeIII | i get an error eveytime i restart. asking me to report... How do i go about checking what it can be? | 11:59 |

| rahuldev | What's the difference between ls and dir? pls anyone help me, I already googled! didn't get it. | 12:37 |
| coolmadmax | rahuldev, check man ls | 12:38 |
| OerHeks | ls gives nice colours | 12:38 |
| SirMoo | So what about the nvidia drivers is crashing ubuntu at login? :/ | 12:38 |
| OerHeks | http://askubuntu.com/questions/103913/difference-between-dir-and-ls-terminal-commands | 12:38 |
| OerHeks | SirMoo, yes, tell us, what about? | 12:39 |
| SirMoo | OerHeks: It's a question asking why they are doing that... | 12:39 |
| chittu | hi | 12:40 |
| chittu | anyone is there | 12:41 |
| geirha | nvidia is just terrible at writing bugfree drivers for linux, that's all | 12:41 |
| MonkeyDust | chittu this is the ubuntu support channel | 12:41 |
| DJones | SirMoo: You probably need to give more details, I have no issues at all with nvidia, maybe which nvidia card, which driver, how you installed them etc as a starting point | 12:42 |
| rahuldev | hi, | 12:42 |
| rahuldev | Is my message delivered to this channel? | 12:43 |
| OerHeks | rahuldev, yes, but you left before reading the answers | 12:43 |
| MonkeyDust | rahuldev ls seems to be a more 'advanced' dir command | 12:43 |
| OerHeks | http://askubuntu.com/questions/103913/difference-between-dir-and-ls-terminal-commands | 12:44 |
| SirMoo | Drivers are 355 and 358 I used this guide (as suggested by someone on the forum) http://rajat-osgyan.blogspot.com.au/2015/03/how-to-install-bumblebee-on-ubuntu.html However, when I update bumblebee.conf with the driver info... I can't boot into ubuntu properly. It manages to get stuck along the way freezing up. | 12:44 |
| rahuldev | OerHeks, I think my Irc client is not giving me problem sometimes. | 12:44 |
| OerHeks | bumblebee is depreciated, nvidia-prime is the tool now | 12:44 |
| rahuldev | OerHeks, I missed my answer, today IRC messages are getting delayed to me or sometimes not getting. | 12:45 |
| SirMoo | OerHeks: That's install as well... | 12:45 |
| OerHeks | rahuldev, ls gives nice colours, and see that askubuntu url | 12:45 |
| Deakin | yeah | 12:45 |
| rahuldev | MonkeyDust, OerHeks thanks got it. | 12:47 |

| rahuldev | OerHeks, Yesterday I reinstalled ubuntu completely format. | 12:51 |
| rahuldev | but didn't work! | 12:51 |
| tinyhippo | I am trying to install ubuntu server on a machine, but when I attempt to install GRUB to a different disk than the one i installed Ubuntu on, it fails - how can I fix this? | 12:52 |
| rahuldev | even in newly installed ubuntu (completely formated), first I type ubuntu.com and it showed me video ad! | 12:52 |
| ikonia | taehyub_: define "it fails" | 12:52 |
| OerHeks | rahuldev, that is unbelievable. | 12:53 |
| tinyhippo | ikonia: "Executing grub-install /dev/sdd failed. This is a fatal error" | 12:53 |
| ikonia | tinyhippo: ok, so look at sdd - what does that map to ? | 12:53 |
| tinyhippo | ikonia: the disk I want to install grub on to | 12:53 |
| ikonia | rahuldev: your DNS provider may have been corrupted | 12:53 |
| ikonia | tinyhippo: what does it actually map to | 12:53 |
| rahuldev | OerHeks, Actually to check this I installed ubuntu 3 times! :) | 12:54 |
| SirMoo | So... removing bumblebee creates more problems. | 12:54 |
| tinyhippo | ikonia: it maps to SCSI8 which is the USB disk inserted into the internal USB port, that is formatted as ext4 | 12:54 |
| OerHeks | rahuldev, sounds like an external issue, ikonia might be right, resetting your router could solve such weird issues ? | 12:55 |
| cfhowlett | rahuldev, reinstalling to "fix" thins is a WINDOWS method. stop doing that please. | 12:55 |
| OerHeks | or your router is a collection of security holes, replace it. | 12:55 |
| rahuldev | cfhowlett, lol yup, you're right! | 12:56 |
| cfhowlett | rahuldev, you might want to flash the very latest software to your router. | 12:56 |
| ikonia | tinyhippo: there are problems installing grub to USB disks in certain situations | 12:56 |
| rahuldev | OerHeks, cfhowlett, ok I'll try thanks | 12:57 |
| tinyhippo | ikonia: I'll try deleting the partitions on that USB and see whether that changes anything. I've definitely managed to do this once, so I'm suprised that it's failing now - I'll come back if I get any more information though | 12:57 |

| tinyhippo | ikonia: I know :) I'll try different situations to see if I can get it similar to the state it was when it did work, I'm guessing it was done with a new USB disk, rather than this somewhat used one | 12:59 |

| ikonia | rahuldev: no | 13:01 |
| ikonia | it is not ubuntu doing this | 13:01 |
| cfhowlett | rahuldev, what he said. It is your BROWSER settings | 13:01 |
| OerHeks | rahuldev, come on, see all those plugins and funny urls, that is no fresh ubuntu. | 13:02 |
| rahuldev | ikonia, yes, these come's up all other sites except google facebook, like big companies. | 13:02 |
| ikonia | rahuldev: look at your tool bar | 13:02 |
| ikonia | that is not a clean install | 13:02 |
| ikonia | that is you installing loads of junk | 13:02 |

| ikonia | rahuldev: the toolbar DOES matter | 13:04 |
| rahuldev | even there is nothing I saved in toolbar. | 13:04 |

| rahuldev | Is it possible that, our ISP can do that? | 13:11 |
| ikonia | rahuldev: one of two things is happening here | 13:11 |
| ikonia | rahuldev: 1.) you are installing browser plugins/tools bars that are cauing a problem (VERY LIKELY) | 13:12 |
| cfhowlett | rahuldev, strange huh. I NEVER get autoplay videos. you enabled it in settings or in your add-ons | 13:12 |

| ikonia | what are you going to ring up other ISP's ?? | 13:14 |
| ikonia | rahuldev: what does it matter what other ISP's are getting | 13:15 |

| OerHeks | freefx, i am not surprised, charging and using the machine gives vary result. | 14:43 |
| yotam | sebsebseb, I ask if it is safe and stable to upgrade to Gnome 3.18 and if so how? I found an answer on Askubuntu that didn't work | 14:44 |
| daftykins | freefx: leave it for 30 mins powered off and see if it charges, then boot up and check if it goes up after another 30 mins | 14:44 |
| sebsebseb | yotam: which version of UBuntu are you on 15.04? | 14:44 |
| sebsebseb | I mean 15.10 | 14:44 |
| yotam | Yes, Ubuntu 15.10 | 14:44 |
| sebsebseb | yotam: yes the version 15.10 has won't be the latest, will be a version behind the upstream stable release | 14:45 |
| freefx | daftykins: should I leave it powered off while also charging or just powered off? | 14:45 |
| sebsebseb | ,but there won't be that much noticeable difference betwen the two anyway, but yes if you really want the latest you can try a GNOME ppa | 14:45 |
| sebsebseb | !ppa | 14:46 |

| daftykins | freefx: powered off and plugged in charging yep, the idea is to check if it charges fine whilst not powered on | 14:46 |
| yotam | sebsebseb, I tried to add the ppa like this: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 | 14:46 |
| yotam | It didn't work | 14:46 |
| karelb | hello. I have problems with VLC. It refuses to play (some) videos on my computer and spits some VDPAU errors. | 14:47 |
| freefx | daftykins: Hmm... yeah I should try that... but this never happened before... | 14:47 |
| karelb | I tried to google and I didn't get anything useful | 14:47 |
| sebsebseb | yotam: that looks like the right kind of command to me, but been ages since I Tried to do a ppa personally | 14:47 |
| karelb | I installed latest intel drivers successfully, from their website | 14:47 |
| sebsebseb | yotam: why do you want the very latest GNOME? | 14:47 |
| yotam | If I open the ppa page on launchpad and search for gnome-shell it's tell me that the latest version there is 3.16 | 14:47 |
| sebsebseb | come end of March and the one in the ppa will also be old | 14:48 |
| daftykins | freefx: it'll be the quickest to rule out software i'd say | 14:48 |
| zykotick9 | karelb: i doubt the VDPAU warning is related to the not playing the videos | 14:48 |
| yotam | sebsebseb, because the Google Drive intergration and Calendar | 14:48 |
| freefx | daftykins: I have a dell. And I also ran the system performance and even there it was showing the same percentage | 14:49 |

| daftykins | xStark: what is your support question then? | 14:53 |
| daftykins | xStark: sounds like it's a bit too late ;) | 14:53 |
| Overlap | rhytmbox, launcher, desktop everthing is behaving strange | 14:53 |
| xStark | Yep | 14:53 |
| OerHeks | yotam, that ppa was created for 15.04, you have already newer versions | 14:53 |
| xStark | Well 1st it gave me brightnest adjustment problems | 14:53 |
| xStark | I fixed that after a few hours | 14:53 |
| xStark | Then it gave me cooling fan problems | 14:53 |
| karelb | TJ-: I doubt that. File plays correctly in Kaffeine | 14:53 |
| karelb | and I think it also plays correctly on Windows, but I cannot confirm now | 14:54 |
| karelb | (on another PC, with VLC also) | 14:54 |

| Overlap | flash drive isn't mounted on the file system tree | 14:54 |
| Overlap | and windows partion were displayed on the launcher | 14:55 |
| yotam | DerHeks, so is there a ppa for Ubuntu Gnome 15.10 that have Gnome 3.18? | 14:55 |
| Overlap | now everything is gone | 14:55 |
| daftykins | xStark: there's not really any point you being here unless you have an ubuntu installation you want assistance with. | 14:55 |

| OerHeks | karelb, you just said that you succesfully installed that intel driver.. so that askubuntu is incomplete | 14:58 |
| karelb | 0erHeks: yes, because it's old :( I will update it | 14:59 |
| karelb | good idea | 14:59 |
| ylolek | hi all | 14:59 |
| OerHeks | karelb, with those drivers, we cannot help i think. | 14:59 |
| TJ- | karelb: It depends on the underlying libraries each program uses; some will automatically adjust so even when the colorspace claims to be X, it'll intelligently switch to the actual found colorspace for processing. With VDPAU you don't get that luxury - what you pass has to be what is expected | 14:59 |
| karelb | 0erKeks: when I wrote that askubuntu question, they did not have 15.10 drivers available | 15:00 |
| OerHeks | intel has drivers availble standard, for a long time now | 15:00 |
| karelb | ok, maybe they did not list them on 01.org website? I don't remember. I have them now anyway, from their 01.org website. I will edit the question | 15:01 |
| daftykins | karelb: never try to obtain from that site. it is a huge waste of time | 15:02 |
| karelb | OK. I hoped that going to intel directly will get me newer drivers or something like that | 15:02 |
| daftykins | it's not Windows, in my experience everyone that tries those just trashes their install with intel's messy PPA. | 15:02 |
| daftykins | the wisest approach i think for better support is trying newer mainline kernels or Hardware Enablement stacks | 15:03 |

| TJ- | nicomachus: did you make changes to those files? | 17:09 |
| nicomachus | TJ-: I made some changes to the config, but that's in ~/.i3/ and that was removed by the purge | 17:10 |
| nicomachus | akik: I've already manually removed them from xsession, so I can't check that now. | 17:10 |
| TJ- | nicomachus: generally, files that remain behind is due to them not being identical to the files the package installed | 17:10 |
| nicomachus | other WM's I've installed haven't done that, though. Awesome removed everything with purge --remove awesome* | 17:11 |
| ioria | nicomachus, dpkg -l i3-wm maybe is still there | 17:11 |

| TJ- | Bassem: unfortunately the installer's Unity session won't work in the VM guest since it insists on hardware accelerated graphics drivers | 17:32 |

| nicomachus | TJ-: is this unity 8? | 17:33 |
| Bassem | TJ-: im on windows now should i convert the d: partition to logic disk? | 17:33 |
| TJ- | Bassem: however, that isn't needed. The reason you couldn't create a plain LVM Physical Volume using the installer was that the entry you saw (which I assume was truncated) actually is "physical volume for encryption", which explains why you got the subsequent dialog box asking for a passphrase | 17:33 |
| Bassem | TJ-: so what can i do??? i thought if i convert it to logic disk through windows it will save that step on us | 17:34 |
| TJ- | Bassem: So, as I said yesterday, the easiest way to solve that is to boot into the installer's 'Try Ubuntu' session, open a terminal, and use a couple of commands to manually create the LVM config before starting the installer application | 17:34 |
| TJ- | Bassem: Windows 'logical disk' is nothing to do with Linux LVM, its a similar term for something completely unrelated | 17:35 |
| OerHeks | JermBeatz, there is a dedicated #ubuntu-studio channel | 17:35 |
| Bassem | TJ-: manually create the LVM config will just convert the type of th partition or will make new one? | 17:35 |
| TJ- | Bassem: you would create the PV, and then assign it to a VG | 17:36 |
| JermBeatz | sorry im a noob | 17:36 |
| Bassem | TJ-: what do you mean by creating it??? you mean deleting the exisit partition and recreat it again or just convert it? | 17:37 |
| OerHeks | oh, i don't understand noobs, sorry | 17:37 |

| regedit | which is very wrong | 17:57 |
| TJ- | regedit: right, so it is what I said | 17:57 |
| Bassem | TJ-: i press F6 then select nomodeset but when i select try ubuntu it still give me blank screen | 17:57 |
| regedit | ok so i just need to change the BIOS clock to UTC then? | 17:57 |
| tempuser | How do you install ffmpeg? | 17:57 |
| TJ- | regedit: yes, you can use 'hwclock' to do that | 17:58 |
| tempuser | I asked this in #debian, and they said to come here. | 17:58 |
| MonkeyDust | !wubi | darkx239 | 17:58 |
| ubottu | darkx239: Wubi was a way to install Ubuntu from within Windows, but it is no longer supported in recent versions of Ubuntu and was never well maintained even for Ubuntu 12.04. Do not use Wubi. See !install for other options for installing Ubuntu. | 17:58 |
| tempuser | I am indeed running ubuntu | 17:58 |
| jelly | k1l_: tempuser is running trusty, not debian. Please avoid pointing them to #debian before verifying their OS release, next time | 17:58 |
| BluesKaj | tempuser, sudp apt install ffmpeg | 17:58 |
| tempuser | That doesn't work | 17:59 |
| BluesKaj | sudo rarther | 17:59 |
| k1l_ | jelly: he said jessie/sid | 17:59 |
| tempuser | sudo aptitude install ffmpeg | 17:59 |
| tempuser | doesn't work either | 17:59 |
| tempuser | aptitude search ffmpeg lists nothing | 17:59 |
| ioria | tempuser, cat /etc/issue | 17:59 |
| jelly | k1l_: and that's precisely what the file says on trusty. | 17:59 |
| tempuser | Well, it lists something | 17:59 |
| MonkeyDust | tempuser and avconv? | 17:59 |
| tempuser | Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS \n \l | 17:59 |
| regedit | TJ-: oh cool didnt know that, looking that up... | 17:59 |
| jelly | k1l_: ask for "lsb_release -sc" output, next time, or the above | 17:59 |
| ioria | tempuser, no ffmpeg, then | 18:00 |
| tempuser | Is avconv the 'next-gen' of ffmpeg? | 18:00 |
| TJ- | regedit: use "sudo hwclock --set" to copy the current OS time (which is in UTC/GMT) to the hardware | 18:00 |
| BluesKaj | yeah 14.04 uses avconv for some rasonm the newer ubuntus have ffmpeg back in the repos | 18:00 |
| BluesKaj | reason | 18:00 |
| ioria | !info libav-tool | tempuser | 18:00 |
| ubottu | tempuser: Package libav-tool does not exist in wily | 18:00 |
| k1l_ | jelly: ah, it was /etc/debian_version, misread that as etc/lsb-release. sorry | 18:00 |
| jelly | tempuser: it's the other way round really. avconv from libav project is a fork of ffmpeg that's not really maintained any more | 18:00 |
| ioria | !info libav-tool trusty | 18:01 |
| ubottu | Package libav-tool does not exist in trusty | 18:01 |
| TJ- | regedit: then set the OS time using "sudo hwclock --hctosys" | 18:01 |
| enyc | libav-tools ?? | 18:01 |
| k1l_ | tempuser: at the time 14.04 was released ubuntu and debian did use avconv instead of ffmpeg. most commands should work | 18:01 |
| BluesKaj | tempuser, which 14.04 ? have updated/upgraded and dist-upgraded lately? | 18:01 |
| tempuser | 14.04.3 | 18:02 |
| ioria | !info libav-tools trusty | 18:02 |
| ubottu | libav-tools (source: libav): Multimedia player, server, encoder and transcoder. In component universe, is optional. Version 6:9.18-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 (trusty), package size 3187 kB, installed size 9350 kB | 18:02 |
| jelly | tempuser: you could try googling for "trusty ffmpeg ppa" and see if you get lucky | 18:02 |
| BluesKaj | avconv was a bit clunky iirc. so ffmpeg was recalled | 18:03 |
| tempuser | My god, it's this hard? ok | 18:03 |
| Bassem | i press F6 then select nomodeset but when i select try ubuntu it still give me blank screen | 18:03 |
| k1l_ | iirc ffmpeg and avconv did solve their issue that lead to the fork. | 18:03 |
| k1l_ | tempuser: why cant you use avconv? | 18:04 |
| tempuser | I do "aptitude search avconv" and i get nothing | 18:04 |

| kurufin | hi | 18:20 |
| nicomachus | hi kurufin | 18:20 |
| kurufin | i was wondering if it is possible to replace the /etc systemfolder (maybe partially) by a mounted device? for better understanding: i want to create a vbox-machine running ubuntu and share the configuration between several workstations without having to copy the disk-image. | 18:23 |
| bekks | kurufin: No, it is not possible. | 18:23 |
| bekks | kurufin: Doing so will render your system unbootable. | 18:24 |
| kurufin | bekks: yes, i noticed that :) | 18:24 |
| kurufin | bekks: do you know another way? i wanted to avoid copying changed files with rsync or sth like that | 18:24 |
| bekks | kurufin: Thats the way to go. | 18:24 |

| Scriptonaut | hi all. I'm setting up a pair programming environment on my computer. I created a new user named pair. People will ssh into it, however I don't want them to be able to edit or read certain things in the ~/.ssh directory. So, I chagned owner and group of the files in there to a different user (my administrator of the machine, not root). However, when I change the perms to 744, I can no longer ssh into the machine. Is there a way to make the ifles in | 18:32 |

| Scarecr0w | SlidingHorn: I was in need of help installing Spotify in my Ubuntu 15.10. It gives me this error and i don't know how to fix it. http://i.imgur.com/GL0eeeY.png | 19:10 |
| PMT | Scarecr0w: A) that's just a warning it should have installed fine B) it's caused by having the same sources.list entry more than once, so you could go find the duplicate entry and remove it if it bothers you | 19:11 |
| javabean_ | Scarecr0w: Have you run apt-get update? | 19:12 |
| daftykins | Scarecr0w: share text in a pastebin when possible, it's a lot more useful and efficient than images of text | 19:12 |
| Scarecr0w | daftykins: Sorry, will do next time. | 19:12 |
| Scarecr0w | PMT: Sadly, I can't find spotify among my installed applications. | 19:12 |
| daftykins | Scarecr0w: looks like your repo list has a duplicate, check your /etc/apt/sources.list or use the GUI tool in system settings -> software and updates ; to confirm | 19:13 |
| Scarecr0w | javabean_: Yes which results in more error, let me dump these errors in Pastebin real quick. | 19:13 |
| daftykins | Scarecr0w: nah just check the file, the message you got told you all you need to know :> | 19:13 |
| OerHeks | did you follow this guide ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Spotify | 19:13 |

| fdsdfs | I'am back with my problem width freezes | 19:16 |
| fdsdfs | how I can clear orange area: http://i.imgur.com/3rADAsl.png | 19:17 |
| zerowaitstate | I seem to have 23 versions of the linux-image kernel package installed. How do I prune old version of the kernel I'm not using anymore? | 19:17 |
| fdsdfs | ? | 19:17 |
| OerHeks | fdsdfs, what are we looking at,mem bar? | 19:17 |
| fdsdfs | yes? in htop | 19:18 |
| fdsdfs | yes, in htop | 19:18 |
| julian-delphiki | fdsdfs, the orange is just cache i believe. in linux caching is a good thingf | 19:18 |
| OerHeks | that orange area is unused, so what do you need? | 19:18 |
| OerHeks | i think blue is cache .. | 19:19 |
| zykotick9 | OerHeks: i don't think it's unused, my htop show unused as "blank" space... | 19:19 |
| julian-delphiki | fdsdfs, what is the output of "free -m" | 19:19 |
| fdsdfs | I know, but I note that if this bar is full orange my system freezes | 19:20 |
| julian-delphiki | in a pastebin. | 19:20 |
| fdsdfs | 3861 3745 116 2113 7 2273 | 19:20 |
| julian-delphiki | so yeah, that is a lot of buffers+cache | 19:20 |
| julian-delphiki | so, I think that's a false-positive fdsdfs | 19:21 |
| fdsdfs | http://paste.ubuntu.com/13995755/ | 19:21 |
| julian-delphiki | yep, mostly cache. | 19:21 |
| grzywacz | Any hints on how to start debugging a mono-only sound output on a fresh installation of 15.10 with SB live (emu10k1)? | 19:21 |
| fdsdfs | but how to clear this? drop caches doesn't working? | 19:22 |
| VFDPrim | im wanting to benchmarck my graphics on ubuntu just tried glmark2 but it does not work any sugestions | 19:22 |
| julian-delphiki | fdsdfs, i'm tellin' ya. that isn't your issue. Cache / memory usage in linux is what you want. | 19:22 |
| julian-delphiki | fdsdfs, http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | 19:23 |
| OerHeks | VFDPrim, i test with glx-gears > sudo apt-get install mesa-utils && glxgears | 19:24 |
| fdsdfs | but is there way to clear this cahce? | 19:24 |
| VFDPrim | thank you much oerheks | 19:24 |
| PMT | grzywacz: mono-only output from one program, or any program, or ? | 19:25 |
| grzywacz | PMT, any program it seems, even sound settings samples "Front-left", "Front-right" sounds the same | 19:25 |
| julian-delphiki | fdsdfs, `echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches` but its really not necessary. | 19:25 |
| fdsdfs | but this does'nt works | 19:26 |
| PMT | fdsdfs: as root, or echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches | 19:26 |
| julian-delphiki | fdsdfs, try running 'sync' first. | 19:26 |
| VFDPrim | does this glgears keep going untill i stop it or doest it auto run for so long | 19:27 |
| PMT | grzywacz: one of my default guesses would be the speaker cable, honestly - did it work in stereo correctly at any point in the past, in any OS? | 19:27 |
| julian-delphiki | it just keeps going pretty sure VFDPrim | 19:27 |
| PMT | VFDPrim: it will run until killed. | 19:27 |
| grzywacz | PMT, worked up until the installation/upgrade | 19:27 |
| grzywacz | But I'll double check. | 19:28 |
| fdsdfs | doesn't works. # sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches. in free -m: cached - 2268 | 19:28 |
| VFDPrim | ok how do i kill it without leaving the terminal | 19:28 |
| daftykins | ctrl+c | 19:28 |
| VFDPrim | perfect thank you | 19:28 |
| PMT | grzywacz: to be clear, i'm perfectly willing to believe it's software, but checking the cable is easy and a simple fix, if it's the problem. :) | 19:29 |
| grzywacz | PMT, duh :) | 19:29 |
| VFDPrim | looks like im getting on avarage of 300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.804 FPS is this good bad or decent | 19:29 |
| julian-delphiki | fdsdfs, are you on a livecd or something? | 19:29 |
| grzywacz | Seems to have helped indeed. (facepalm) | 19:29 |
| fdsdfs | no | 19:29 |
| PMT | grzywacz: glad to hear it. :) | 19:29 |
| julian-delphiki | well, fdsdfs, the kernel will keep in memory whatever it feels like it needs. | 19:29 |
| daftykins | VFDPrim: it's useless as you have vsync on, hence the max of 60fps | 19:29 |
| grzywacz | Now I have to help two people to restore my karma. ;) | 19:29 |

| OerHeks | VFDPrim, that is oke, if you have nvidia, go into nvidia settings > open GL settings , and disable sync to vblank, and run glxgears again. ( now you see the true power! ) | 19:31 |

| freefx | daftykins: never used that. should I try it out? | 19:38 |
| Bassem | julian-delphiki: so no other soultion? | 19:38 |
| julian-delphiki | Bassem, also, you can try disabling the onboard video in the bios. | 19:38 |
| VFDPrim | that nvidia link does not explain how to get to the right hardware drivers for 15.10 last one is for 10.10 and im not understanding where it wants me to go | 19:39 |
| daftykins | freefx: sure | 19:39 |
| Bassem | julian-delphiki: its disabled | 19:39 |
| VFDPrim | I went to system settings and it wants me to go to administration next but im not seeing that as an option | 19:39 |
| Dinosaurio | julian-delphiki: Yes, it works now. Thank you :) | 19:39 |
| julian-delphiki | Bassem, does your onboard have HDMI video? You could try that port to see if its being weird and using that output,. | 19:39 |
| twirlobite | why would I be getting: "GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend. Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications" | 19:40 |
| Bassem | julian-delphiki: will it work if the on board video card is disabled? | 19:41 |
| julian-delphiki | Bassem, it's worth a try. | 19:41 |
| Bassem | julian-delphiki: will try | 19:42 |

| ubottu | In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuche bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Einfach "/join #ubuntu-de" eingeben. Danke für Dein Verständnis! | 19:48 |
| julian-delphiki | !de | linux_ | 19:48 |
| twirlobite | julian-delphiki: ty, i can link you to the askubuntu/forum questions that i posted | 19:48 |
| ubottu | linux_: please see above | 19:48 |
| OerHeks | twirlobite, that seems normal, those messages are just messages. happens a lot when you start a gui program from terminal | 19:48 |
| julian-delphiki | yeah, I don't think they're actually errors, twirlobite... warnings aren't critical | 19:48 |
| twirlobite | OerHeks, julian-delphiki: I wasn't getting these errors before -- for instance, i wasn't getting them yesterday morning, and when i am making apps with pyqt, it's causing some serious issues (possibly) | 19:49 |
| javabean_ | Is IRC safe to use? | 19:49 |
| JeDa | Yes | 19:50 |
| javabean_ | I'm using it from the freenode web client | 19:50 |
| PMT | for what value of safe? | 19:50 |
| twirlobite | OerHeks, julian-delphiki: in particular, i am bothered by this because i didn't have it before | 19:50 |
| === user is now known as Guest15978 | ||
| gh156 | twirlobite: if it has no impact on your programs, just ignore it. maybe a recent updated library started throwing those errors | 19:51 |
| julian-delphiki | that's really the only thing I can think of ^ | 19:51 |
| gh156 | not a big deal | 19:51 |
| OerHeks | +1 | 19:51 |
| twirlobite | gh156: i think it is having an impact on my programs though, here, i'll link you to the problem: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34244849/adding-in-a-qtextedit-widget-as-the-central-widget-makes-main-window-not-pop-up | 19:52 |
| amcq_ | can anyone tell me if I can dual boot with ubuntu on a mac? I have been running ubuntu in a virtual box vm but would quite like to use it natively if posible | 19:52 |
| MonkeyDust | !mac | amcq_ start here | 19:52 |
| ubottu | amcq_ start here: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 19:52 |
| twirlobite | gh156: now, also on ubuntu, aren't having that issue with the program in question, and they are wondering if its because of the glib-gio warning | 19:53 |
| PMT | twirlobite: are, or aren't? | 19:53 |
| twirlobite | PMT: *aren't* -- the skeleton code for them works just fine | 19:53 |
| twirlobite | PMT: (and they don't get the warning/error messages) | 19:54 |
| gh156 | twirlobite: yeah, that's a problem then. did you ask in ##python as well? | 19:54 |
| amcq_ | monkeydust: thanks | 19:54 |
| OerHeks | twirlobite, note the answer | 19:54 |
| twirlobite | gh156: i am there right now, basically having this same convo (trying to explain why i think the errors might be symptomatic) | 19:55 |
| gh156 | ##python might spot the library problems quicker vs. just asking specific distro advice | 19:55 |
| PMT | twirlobite: have you found anyone else with the same messages, and compared their versions of the various libraries you're referencing versus yours? | 19:55 |
| gh156 | in any case, patience wins =) | 19:55 |
| regedit | PMT: last reboot i did sudo hwclock --hctosys, which seemed to fix the issue, but this doesnt seem to persist through reboots, as i see now my system time is off again | 19:58 |
| regedit | when i do sudo ntpdate -u ntp.ubuntu.com: ntpdate[3316]: no server suitable for synchronization found | 19:58 |
| PMT | regedit: hwclock --hctosys shouldn't be necessary to repeat. i wonder if your system thinks the HW clock is in UTC and it isn't, or vice-versa, and so it's drifting by the difference every reboot. | 19:59 |
| regedit | PMT: where would that setting be? some of these options disappeard from the system date/time settings panel | 19:59 |
| elisa87 | Hi, do you know why two out of my three slave VMs might go down and as a result I cannot SSH them? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34255611/slave-vms-are-down-in-cloudlab Any idea how to debug/fix this? | 20:00 |
| regedit | PMT: what should my BIOS time be BTW? i think last i checked it it said the right time in EST | 20:01 |
| === cats is now known as santacat | ||
| PMT | regedit: mostly this matters if you are using multiple OSes on the same machine, as long as all the OSes think the same thing the worst that happens is your BIOS thinks the system time is off by a few hours. | 20:02 |
| ericcaron | running Kubuntu on my macbook pro first gen intel. seems to start up quite a bit slower than usual ( i haven't messed around with any settings save for a bit of UI changes) what would be the best/non-destructive way for me to speed up both the boot up time to desktop , and opening of programs ( they seem to hang every so often) | 20:02 |
| regedit | PMT: i currently only have 1 OS but either way i wouldnt mind having the "proper" machine time in case i ever do, but BIOS seems to be talking in EST | 20:03 |
| regedit | i dont remember seeing a BIOS setting to change to UTC/GMT | 20:03 |
| justyn | quit | 20:03 |
| justyn | ls | 20:03 |
| regedit | and i dont know where that setting is in Kubuntu anymore either... | 20:03 |
| PMT | regedit: there usually isn't one iirc. i'm just hypothesizing anyway, it's one of the most common reasons i've seen for clock drift like that. | 20:04 |
| regedit | PMT: so if my BIOS speaks EST is it even possible to make it UTC? | 20:04 |
| regedit | either way - how do i get ubuntu to recognize that the machine clock is or isn't UTC | 20:04 |
| regedit | there used to be a button for that in the date/time settings, cant see it there anymore | 20:05 |
| regedit | after 15.10 upgrade | 20:05 |
| regedit | (Kubuntu here anyway, so KDE) | 20:05 |
| ericcaron | try resetting your U.I it might bring back that button since some skins ( seem to not show certain buttons for some odd reason) | 20:05 |
| regedit | ericcaron: this has been the case on every reboot | 20:07 |
| === Guest43795 is now known as arunpyasi | ||
| regedit | it looks like they cleaned some settings out of the date/time UI | 20:07 |
| regedit | ever since 15.10 upgrade | 20:07 |
| regedit | is there a config file where this UTC/non-UTC setting is saved? | 20:07 |
| daftykins | regedit: you're being suggested to try a reset DE, not a REBOOT. | 20:08 |
| ericcaron | ah i hope they can fix the reboot issue. first time i installed it seemed rather fast. then a few updates later it just slowed down to like i had my entire hard drive full. 77gb /100 still there ( very little used up) | 20:08 |
| tlt | regedit, there is a file called /etc/timezone or something | 20:09 |
| MonkeyDust | regedit is this useful https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime | 20:09 |
| tlt | just put your desired timezone in there | 20:09 |
| akik | regedit: you can set the hardware clock in the bios. i haven't seen timezones there. the timezone is controlled in linux | 20:09 |
| regedit | akik: ye my BIOS seems to only speak in EST | 20:09 |
| regedit | and i can only change the hr / min | 20:09 |
| === kudu is now known as Guest51207 | ||
| regedit | not zone | 20:09 |
| akik | /etc/localtime can be symlinked to a timezone file under /usr/share/zoneinfo but i'm not sure if it's the "ubuntu way" | 20:10 |
| nils_ | one issue left with Skylake, my screens keep going black for 2 seconds | 20:10 |
| daftykins | regedit: i take it you're multibooting? | 20:10 |
| daftykins | nils_: on what kernel? | 20:10 |
| akik | regedit: that's whay i was saying. the bios doesn't know of a timezone | 20:10 |
| regedit | daftykins: i used to, but i dont care for the other boot anymore (been meaning to delete for a while) | 20:10 |
| nils_ | daftykins, 4.3.2 | 20:10 |
| akik | regedit: oh you're seeing EST in the bios? | 20:11 |
| daftykins | nils_: from the mainline repo? | 20:11 |
| regedit | akik: ye | 20:11 |
| daftykins | you don't see timezones, you'll see an hour out or so | 20:11 |
| nils_ | daftykins, self built, enabled the experimental hardware support for i915 | 20:11 |
| daftykins | nils_: ah, then technically what you're running is no longer ubuntu | 20:11 |
| regedit | i did have an interrupted upgrade from 15.04 > 15.10, which made the machine unbootable and had to boot-repair etc. | 20:12 |
| ericcaron | hmm any way to do a check up on the bios through the terminal/bios itself? to look for any sort of issues? | 20:12 |
| regedit | this may be fallout | 20:12 |
| nils_ | daftykins, technically, same is probably true with the mainline kernel | 20:12 |
| ioria | regedit, you have Windows installed ? | 20:12 |
| daftykins | nils_: well yeah, those aren't considered supported either, afaiui. maybe there's a bug in there that a subsequent/earlier doesn't have? probably too soon to tell | 20:12 |
| regedit | ioria: i happen to, yes | 20:13 |
| ericcaron | mines an (i386) . no other operating system on it since i didn't want the old mac os x 10.4 clogging the system with something i am not using lol | 20:13 |
| ioria | regedit, check it out http://www.webupd8.org/2014/09/dual-boot-fix-time-differences-between.html | 20:13 |
| regedit | boot-repair spawned 3 extra windows boot options BTW... | 20:13 |
| nils_ | daftykins, yeah, uncharted territory, just hoping someone might have a pointer. | 20:13 |
| daftykins | nils_: have you played with parameters such as X's backing store and intel's tearfree features in X.org? | 20:14 |
| ravindu | New to xchat | 20:14 |
| boxmein | "The machine's firmware has started the installer in UEFI mode but it looks like there might be existing OSes installed using BIOS compat mode. If you continue to install in UEFI mode, it might be difficult to boot into other OSes later. wat do? | 20:14 |
| Bassem | can some one help me convert sda2 to lvm | 20:14 |
| Bassem | so i can install ubuntu | 20:14 |
| nils_ | daftykins, I don't think it's X related since it happens on the console too | 20:14 |
| ericcaron | bassem have you partitioned a section of a drive/drive that you want to boot ubuntu under first? | 20:15 |
| daftykins | nils_: ah ok, i was lacking that bit of info :> | 20:15 |
| ioria | boxmein, windows 7 installed ? | 20:15 |
| ericcaron | keeping in mind partitioning over time/RAID settings degrade the drives quicker than normal operation | 20:15 |
| === ravindu is now known as sadg | ||
| boxmein | ioria: windows 7 upgraded to 10 was the previous OS of that laptop | 20:15 |
| sadg | r there any sexy girls? | 20:16 |
| Bassem | ericcaron, yes i have 3 partions sda1 for windows 7....sda2 empty for ubuntu.....sda3 have allmy files | 20:16 |
| === yuno is now known as Guest29597 | ||
| ioria | boxmein, are you on live cd ? | 20:16 |
| k1l_ | sadg: wrong channel for that | 20:16 |
| Bassem | TJ told me to convert sda2 to lvm | 20:16 |
| julian-delphiki | sadg, this is not the channel for that, please take that conversation elsewhere. | 20:16 |
| nicomachus | or nowhere... | 20:16 |
| regedit | so /etc/default/rcS seems to indicate machine clock UTC is *not* assumed | 20:16 |
| === sadg is now known as sdfhsdh | ||
| regedit | is this correct? | 20:16 |
| ericcaron | yes try that bassem see if that works before trying other things | 20:16 |
| sdfhsdh | kil | 20:16 |
| Bassem | ericcaron, he want me to convert it to lvm he said he would help me with some commands | 20:17 |
| Bassem | ericcaron, will he be back soon | 20:17 |
| === sdfhsdh is now known as Saathan | ||
| ericcaron | ok bassem :) | 20:17 |
| julian-delphiki | Bassem, there's no saying. You shouldn't have to do anything special unless there's a hard drive you're worried about preserving | 20:17 |
| Saathan | ericcaron is dead :p | 20:17 |
| ericcaron | lol i am right here saathan ;) | 20:18 |
| Saathan | Oh Isee :v | 20:18 |
| Bassem | julian-delphiki, i have partition D:\ which is 100 GB want to install ubuntu on it so that i can have windows 7 on partition c and ubuntu on partition d | 20:18 |
| ericcaron | so for boot up speed thats just been a kubuntu issue since 15.0 | 20:18 |
| julian-delphiki | Bassem, Linux doesn't use drive letters :) I think the installer will likely let you choose what partition you want to install it to, you just need to be extra sure that you're selecting the correct one. | 20:19 |
| Bassem | julian-delphiki, its 100 GB but do i need swap area? | 20:19 |
| Saathan | Is there any command in terminal to close my girlfriends' mouth? | 20:19 |
| mancomunado | How do I set privileges to a software that requires Sudo, to an automatic software runs it by its own execution system? | 20:19 |
| OerHeks | Bassem, you don't need to *convert* to lvm, just remove that partition, and let the ubuntu installer use that free space | 20:20 |
| ericcaron | since i havent done a lot on my kubuntu. what would be a prefered (faster operating/responsiveness) version of linux to use on my old macbook pro first gen intel? | 20:20 |
| OerHeks | ericcaron, ubuntu-mate-desktop, xubuntu-desktop | 20:20 |
| Bassem | OerHeks, Tj want me to convert it to lvm and then partition it to swap area and the rest i guess | 20:20 |
| ericcaron | ok lemme write it down lol :) | 20:21 |
| daftykins | ericcaron: which model is it? | 20:21 |
| OerHeks | Bassem, that would be silly, converting it and then partitioning.. | 20:21 |
| daftykins | !mac | ericcaron i've written one of those for an old model | 20:21 |
| ubottu | ericcaron i've written one of those for an old model: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 20:21 |
| nils_ | daftykins, must be something else, tried booting windows, same issue. I'll replace the cables. | 20:22 |
| OerHeks | Bassem, remove the partition, and let ubuntu LVM use that free space. | 20:22 |
| ericcaron | it's first generation intel , macbook pro 15 inch | 20:22 |
| Bassem | OerHeks, so why he wanted me to convert it to lvm | 20:22 |
| ericcaron | 100gb drive , 1 gb ram | 20:22 |
| akik | Bassem: OerHeks the idea was to create a lvm physical volume to the second partition, but the ubuntu installer does not provide that option. so it should be made manually | 20:22 |
| nils_ | shouldn't be so quick to blame Intel next time ;) | 20:22 |
| daftykins | ericcaron: no you need to identify the specific x,y value or "mid 2004 MBP" etc, see the above link. | 20:22 |
| javabean_ | Has anyone used irccloud? | 20:23 |
| daftykins | nils_: :D phew! | 20:23 |
| ericcaron | 2006 | 20:23 |
| ericcaron | mbp | 20:23 |
| boxmein | ioria: yes | 20:23 |
| ioria | boxmein, sudo parted -l | 20:23 |
| daftykins | ericcaron: no, just follow the link and read, you'll see what i mean :P | 20:23 |
| ericcaron | ahah :P ok net's loading here feel like i am using dial up >.< | 20:23 |
| k1l_ | javabean_: what would be the question if you have found a user who used it? | 20:24 |
| ericcaron | thanks having a look :P dafty | 20:25 |
| boxmein | ioria: Camera Quality, but http://imgur.com/rsTchZl | 20:26 |
| javabean_ | k1l_ wether or not it is good | 20:26 |
| ericcaron | daftykins: page doesn't exist yet for my model lol | 20:26 |
| boxmein | free space might or might not have an ext4 partition now | 20:26 |
| boxmein | I'm not actively touching the machine | 20:26 |
| ericcaron | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro1-1_1-2/Intrepid | 20:26 |
| akik | Bassem: the lvm is not necessary for the ubuntu operation but it gives you flexibility | 20:26 |
| ericcaron | thats what popped up | 20:26 |
| ioria | boxmein, have you ever used pastebinit ? | 20:26 |
| boxmein | ioria: oh sure I have but you have to realize I'm not even remotely close to that machine | 20:27 |
| regedit | i dont ever boot to windows anymore, and system date/time was working fine up until now, it's just after the upgrade to 15.10 (and some complications thereof) that this started happening | 20:27 |
| regedit | my BIOS has EST time, and my /etc/default/rcD is set to UTC=no, is that a correct setup? | 20:27 |
| ioria | boxmein, can you paste sudo parted -l ? | 20:28 |
| daftykins | ericcaron: no, but not only can you write it... but all the other info will apply, e.g. boot a version and run dmidecode to identify your mac, or use the system profiler / sys info depending on what OS you're in right now | 20:28 |
| regedit | er */etc/default/rcS | 20:28 |
| ericcaron | i've always used / sys info :P | 20:29 |
| ericcaron | currently on my imac :P be right back to get more info from macbook pro | 20:29 |
| Bassem | akik, what flexibility | 20:30 |
| ioria | boxmein, anyway, i think that your win is installed with msdos PT , so you have to install ubuntu in the same way, in legacy mode | 20:30 |
| ioria | boxmein, not UEFI | 20:30 |
| boxmein | ioria: sure, told user to parted -l, but anyway how does that look like | 20:30 |
| jair | Hello all, I want to record a couple of youtube tutorials using my linux laptop, I have the software to record the videos and it is working great (kazam) but I would like to have the option to change the mouse to a circle highlighted in the pointer like it does the software bsrsoft.com | 20:31 |
| akik | Bassem: if you're running out of space, you can enlarge partitions easily | 20:31 |
| jair | is there a software to add the highlight pointer or some type of pointer that can help the audience to focus on the mouse and clicks | 20:31 |
| akik | Bassem: they are called logical volumes | 20:31 |

| gleeb | Hey, can't seem to get Ubuntu to boot or install, can someone help | 20:32 |
| Bassem | akik, i see | 20:32 |
| regedit | gleeb: be sure the machine is powered on | 20:33 |
| === Saathan is now known as BDSM | ||
| regedit | gleeb: also be sure the machine is a computer | 20:33 |
| gleeb | Course it is. Trying to boot/install | 20:33 |
| nicomachus | regedit: not helpful | 20:33 |
| gleeb | All it does is hang | 20:33 |
| regedit | anything passing those 2 criteria should be able to boot/install ubuntu | 20:33 |
| BDSM | how to get the root access of xubuntu? | 20:34 |
| gleeb | Well apparently, this does not like it | 20:34 |
| nicomachus | regedit: says the guy that couldn't get kubuntu to boot last night. | 20:34 |
| OerHeks | jair, i would use youtube-dl, and with youtube-dl -F <url> you can choose format too, and to edit openshot ? | 20:34 |
| nicomachus | gleeb: what version are you installing, and what are you using to install? (CD/USB)? | 20:34 |
| gleeb | 14.04, the LTS, USB, made with Rufus or Unetvootin, both fail | 20:34 |
| boxmein | ioria: https://clbin.com/Dng1l | 20:35 |
| zykotick9 | !root | BDSM | 20:35 |
| ubottu | BDSM: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 20:35 |
| nicomachus | gleeb: ok, two questions: did you do a checksum on that USB, and at what point in the process does it fail? | 20:35 |
| boxmein | zykotick9: what an arbitrary ubottu response :P | 20:35 |
| gleeb | I did, and it checks out | 20:35 |
| jair | hello OerHeks | 20:35 |
| ioria | boxmein, ok, so start the ubu installer as legacy.... maybe you have to go in your bios to set it | 20:36 |
| gleeb | When I try to install or try ubuntu w/o installing, it'll merely take me to a loading screen | 20:36 |
| gleeb | That never ends | 20:36 |
| jair | OerHeks: youtube-dl I never heard of it but I am checking | 20:36 |
| gleeb | 15+ minutes | 20:36 |
| BDSM | what will happen if I commanded Sudo su | 20:36 |
| ericcaron | ran into an issue | 20:36 |
| gleeb | nothing | 20:36 |
| daftykins | BDSM: bad things | 20:36 |
| zykotick9 | BDSM: are you sure you need root? <- you probably don't. if you really, really do, try "sudo -i" | 20:37 |
| ericcaron | booted it up normally now i am getting (initramfs) which command to boot up kubuntu normally? | 20:37 |
| gleeb | It simply refuses to go on | 20:37 |
| jair | OerHeks: hmm I don't think you understood my question | 20:37 |
| daftykins | gleeb: what can you tell us about the system spec? | 20:37 |
| OerHeks | jair, and for openshot, "if you want to highlight mouse clicks – there is this setting in mouse preferences – “Show position of pointer when Control key is pressed” – you can use it to highlight important mouse clicks ">> http://zderadicka.eu/nice-solution-for-recording-screencasts-on-linux/ | 20:37 |

| gleeb | When done with Unetbootin | 20:38 |
| BDSM | sudo -i | 20:38 |
| daftykins | BDSM: that's better | 20:38 |
| OerHeks | jair, i just mentioned youtube-dl, to get the highest resolution with a small dsl. | 20:38 |
| daftykins | gleeb: you likely need to boot with nomodeset | 20:39 |
| daftykins | !nomodeset | gleeb try this | 20:39 |
| ubottu | gleeb try this: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 20:39 |
| gleeb | says /devices/virtual/block/loop0 takes a long time, then times out | 20:39 |
| bekks | BDSM: sudo su invokes su with root privileges (quite pointless), sudo -i opens an interactive shell with root privileges. | 20:39 |
| gleeb | It's not the GPU, fairly certain | 20:39 |
| huehue | please help... http://pastebin.com/MpT0RAjU | 20:39 |

| gleeb | Splash screen shows fine | 20:40 |
| gleeb | but nothing happens afterwards | 20:40 |
| nicomachus | gleeb: it doesn't hurt to try when it comes to nomodeset | 20:40 |
| daftykins | gleeb: try it anyway. | 20:40 |
| gleeb | Got it | 20:40 |
| gleeb | hold on | 20:41 |
| BDSM | Is there any kali linux adviser? | 20:41 |
| OerHeks | BDSM, sure, in the kali channels | 20:41 |
| jair | OerHeks: thnak you so much, but let me paste an example of what I am trying to find: http://imagenes.es.sftcdn.net/es/scrn/116000/116130/pointerfocus-25.jpg | 20:41 |
| ericcaron | booted it up normally now i am getting (initramfs) which command to boot up kubuntu normally? | 20:43 |
| ericcaron | i am running kubuntu . | 20:43 |
| bekks | ericcaron: Gettong "initramfs" is not "booting up normally". | 20:43 |
| gleeb | So in the end, layman's terms, how do I apply nomodeset | 20:43 |
| bekks | Instead of booting up normally, you get a initramfs shell. | 20:43 |

| ubottu | gleeb: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 20:44 |
| ericcaron | yes bekks | 20:44 |
| jair | but to be able of add it in linux because the recording software I am using is kazam | 20:44 |
| gleeb | Already gave me the link but it won't show up on mobile | 20:44 |
| nicomachus | gleeb: try this one: https://askubuntu.com/questions/38780/how-do-i-set-nomodeset-after-ive-already-installed-ubuntu | 20:45 |
| ioria | ericcaron, what did you do lately ? | 20:46 |
| gleeb | Besides, it always says that /devices/virtual/block/loop0 hangs, or in case of the Rufus USB it doesn't even show that | 20:46 |
| gleeb | So I'm stuck unable to boot/install it. Sigh | 20:46 |
| ericcaron | i logged out of it about 20 minutes ago normally and powered it down | 20:47 |
| gleeb | Also says it cannot enable ACPI among other things | 20:47 |
| ericcaron | now i boot it up ( power button ) , it loads the command screen. which it hasnt done before | 20:47 |
| daftykins | gleeb: when you boot, do you have white text on black background (EFI boot) or a logo? | 20:48 |
| ioria | ericcaron, you mean Grub ? | 20:48 |
| ericcaron | yes ioria | 20:48 |
| bekks | ericcaron: So what have you done prior shutting it down? | 20:48 |
| ioria | ericcaron, so solved | 20:48 |
| Borg | Why is UnrealIRCd still not in Ubuntu's repos? | 20:48 |
| ericcaron | what have i done? i did some updates | 20:48 |

| daftykins | Borg: i don't think anyone serious enough about running an IRC server really cares about packaged software or not | 20:48 |
| gleeb | White text on black background, GNU GRUB, then I select something, black and white for a few seconds then the purple splash | 20:48 |
| OerHeks | but then for kazam | 20:49 |
| gleeb | Which leads to nowhere | 20:49 |
| gleeb | as it hangs | 20:49 |

| daftykins | gleeb: press 'e' to edit the 'try' option, edit the kernel line so it says "quiet splash nomodeset ..." then ctrl+x or shift+F10 to boot | 20:49 |
| Borg | daftykins, I didn't ask who cared. I asked why it's not. ;) | 20:49 |
| daftykins | Borg: one answered the other, but you can hassle the packaging folk if you really want... likely the answer is they're waiting for you to step up as the package maintainer for it :) | 20:50 |

| bekks | ericcaron: So which "command screen" are you talking about - the grub menu or the initramfs shell? | 20:50 |
| Borg | I don't use Ubuntu really. I'm just asking because I've had to use it after xx many years and noticed it still wasn't in there like many, many other things that really should be. :s | 20:50 |
| p444 | How could i use a cron job to run df command and get it to email me every day? | 20:51 |
| p444 | So each day I would receive and email with disk usage (DF command) what woy can this be done | 20:51 |
| asad_ | I am still getting that sound from my laptop's speakers though, how do I get rid of it? | 20:51 |
| k1l_ | Borg: maybe there is no maintainer. so ask the unrealircd guys if they want to maintain it or you could start maintaining it | 20:51 |
| ericcaron | initramfs shell ( sorry i wasn't clear ) :) | 20:51 |
| Borg | I just said I don't use Ubuntu really why would I create a package and maintain it? I was just curious I did not say I wanted to develop lol | 20:51 |
| Globalirc | hello all what is the name of freepascal in repositori ? | 20:52 |
| Borg | alright well I guess that sums that up. | 20:52 |
| k1l_ | Borg: then there is no point in discussing it. there is no maintainer, so no package. | 20:52 |
| daftykins | Globalirc: search packages for yourself with "apt-cache search <string>" | 20:52 |
| gleeb | I think I've done it right, time to try and boot now | 20:52 |
| ioria | ericcaron, i solved, this morning, with an hard reboot .... but wait for wiser advice :þ | 20:52 |
| Globalirc | i searched and nonething | 20:52 |
| jair | OerHeks: I believe the spotlight effect will do the trick | 20:52 |
| bekks | ioria: hard reboot do not solve boot issues. | 20:52 |
| Borg | k1l_, sure there's a point. The point is many OS do support it yet Ubuntu doesn't support things that have been missing for years and years. | 20:52 |
| jair | OerHeks: checking if there is a version for Linux | 20:52 |
| bekks | ioria: They cause boot issues, more likely. | 20:53 |
| bekks | ericcaron: So which Ubuntu are you using?= | 20:53 |
| ericcaron | i will try something with my usb ;) | 20:53 |
| ioria | bekks, ok | 20:53 |
| ericcaron | kubuntu | 20:53 |

| ericcaron | 15.0+? haha | 20:54 |
| gleeb | Hm, took it a while longer to hit the splash | 20:54 |
| regedit | is it better to have system date assume BIOS clock is UTC or not? | 20:54 |
| ericcaron | i am quite a noob :) lots to learn of course | 20:54 |
| gleeb | Now I wait again | 20:54 |

| Globalirc | daftykins: is not named freepascal i was thinking someone here know but i find is named in ubuntu lazarus . thanks btw | 20:54 |
| daftykins | Globalirc: right so search for "pascal" then "free" maybe? | 20:54 |
| gleeb | How long is it supposed to take until something happens? | 20:55 |
| Globalirc | i find is another name on ubuntu lazarus-0.9.30.2 - IDE for Free Pascal - Meta Package | 20:55 |

| daftykins | gleeb: is this a laptop? | 20:56 |
| gleeb | It is. Does it make a difference? | 20:57 |

| daftykins | gleeb: so graphics related :) i think that's more detail than the overall cause though | 21:13 |
| daftykins | gleeb: what's the make and model of the machine? | 21:13 |
| gleeb | Yeah | 21:13 |

| daftykins | smells like a buggy EFI to me; can you check your BIOS version and compare against the Acer website from in Windows? | 21:14 |
| gleeb | Hn | 21:14 |
| gleeb | maybe tomorrow | 21:14 |
| gleeb | It's V1.09 | 21:14 |
| Globalirc | binutils is already the newest version. | 21:14 |
| Globalirc | binutils set to manually installed. | 21:14 |
| gleeb | acer website has delisted the model | 21:15 |
| daftykins | just have a quick glance on the Acer website and see if it has newer | 21:15 |
| daftykins | eh i always do fine looking up old machines | 21:15 |
| gleeb | This is the newest I found | 21:15 |

| k1l_ | Globalirc: did you install some binutils-gold manually? | 21:17 |
| damien | Ok wish me luck, remade my fstab ;) | 21:17 |
| Globalirc | k1l_ no | 21:17 |
| nefarious_ | hello | 21:19 |
| nwayno | howdy | 21:19 |
| k1l_ | Globalirc: hmm, then i dont understand why it doesnt install since you said you dont have binutils-gold | 21:19 |
| Globalirc | i paste bin all i installed so far in of .bash_history | 21:20 |
| k1l_ | Globalirc: well, i found this issue: http://askubuntu.com/questions/57324/why-cant-i-install-freepascal-and-the-gold-linker-at-the-same-time so i think you installed something that installed binutils-gold manually and that is now blocking | 21:21 |
| Anomareh | Can someone tell me what the difference between the "<release>" and "<release>-updates" repositories is? | 21:26 |
| p444 | Im tryign to create regular user accounts not admin accounts, can someone look at my code and tell me if its correct? Do i need to add in a setting so that thye are normal members and not admins. http://pastebin.com/Y2MNYbQs | 21:27 |
| Globalirc | k1l_ : https://paste.ee/p/mAiAi | 21:27 |
| Globalirc | k1l_: ok now i look at your link to see were is the problem | 21:28 |
| daftykins | Anomareh: ""Recommended Updates (raring-updates)". Updates for serious bugs in Ubuntu packaging that do not affect the security of the system. " | 21:28 |
| daftykins | Anomareh: as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu | 21:28 |
| k1l_ | Globalirc: we checked already, that binutils-gold package is not installed. so it should not block the install of fp-compiler. except you installed somehting manually (not with the package system) | 21:29 |
| baybora_ | ? | 21:30 |
| baybora_ | ? | 21:30 |
| daftykins | baybora_: stop that. | 21:30 |
| Anomareh | daftykins: right, but I don't see it mention "raring" so if there is a version of a package in "raring" and "raring-updates" what is the difference and which is preferred? | 21:31 |
| daftykins | Anomareh: no, your system has both, raring was 13.04 . | 21:32 |
| Globalirc | k1l_: yes you are right on other vps it' work to install fp. but for future how i find the binutils i i want to uninstall ? | 21:32 |
| daftykins | so you have <release> and <release>-updates | 21:32 |
| daftykins | Anomareh: the one in -updates would be the... *drumroll*... updated version, thus newer and would install :) | 21:32 |
| Anomareh | daftykins: ok, thank you | 21:33 |

| snowstorm | hi all | 21:38 |
| daftykins | lo | 21:39 |
| snowstorm | I'm looking for someone who could tell me if it would be better going with ubuntu desktop or server? | 21:39 |
| daftykins | for what use case | 21:40 |
| snowstorm | I have an old dell poweredge 1800 which I want to use as a simple file server for home purpose | 21:40 |
| freefx | daftykins: hey, remember I was here earlier? I asked about why my battery percentage wasn't going up. Well, I guess it was a software problem. I was on 15.10 and it wasn't charging there. I installed 14.04 and it's working fine now. | 21:40 |
| daftykins | so server then, no need for X | 21:40 |
| snowstorm | and using ftp file server as well | 21:40 |
| bekks | snowstorm: then use ubuntu server. | 21:40 |
| bekks | snowstorm: no need for a GUI. | 21:40 |
| daftykins | freefx: yeah ACPI, my suggestion of trying from powered off would have pointed that out. | 21:40 |
| freefx | daftykins: funny thing is I did try charging from powered off but it didn't seem to go up... everything works fine in 14.04.03 | 21:41 |
| snowstorm | and would I be able to share the files onto my network and access them using windows base computer? | 21:41 |
| bekks | snowstorm: Why not? That does not depend on Desktop/Server, but on your configuration. | 21:41 |
| daftykins | freefx: you had to follow the steps i gave :) | 21:42 |
| daftykins | snowstorm: yes by installing and configuring samba | 21:42 |
| freefx | daftykins: so I guess it was the software, right? | 21:42 |
| daftykins | yes ACPI support issues most likely | 21:42 |
| snowstorm | I tryed samba in the past and couldn access files from win base pc... I guess my config were wrong! | 21:43 |
| daftykins | yes, it was | 21:44 |
| snowstorm | is there a good online guide on how to configure ubuntu and samba for the purpose I'm looking for? | 21:46 |
| daftykins | !samba | 21:48 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/samba.html | 21:48 |
| daftykins | that should help, second one | 21:48 |
| daftykins | install 14.04.3 server, install samba and SSH, edit your samba configuration and be aware of "testparm" for checking you edited it correctly | 21:48 |
| daftykins | job done | 21:48 |
| snowstorm | thanks to freefx and daftykins | 21:49 |
| snowstorm | would it make difference in config if I install desktop or server version? | 21:49 |
| daftykins | you already asked that | 21:49 |
| daftykins | are you a goldfish? | 21:50 |
| snowstorm | I understand server seems best for my option | 21:50 |
| daftykins | yep, glorious command line | 21:50 |
| p444 | how can i find out what startup services is running on my linux machine through the command line | 21:51 |
| daftykins | depends on your version | 21:51 |

| p444 | I thought there might be a way to show whcih ones are used on startup, if there was way find out just teh startups | 21:58 |
| OerHeks | p444, install bootchart, good view what is going on | 21:58 |

| ubottu | bootchart charts your machine at boot time, to install >> sudo apt-get install bootchart << the graphic is in /var/log/bootchart after the next reboot | 21:58 |
| p444 | just installed bootchart | 21:59 |
| p444 | do i just restart now and go to /var/log/bootchart on reboot? | 21:59 |
| bmsr256 | !clang | 21:59 |
| bmsr256 | !llvm | 22:00 |
| OerHeks | p444, yes. and remove the package after use. else your /var/log/ runs full | 22:00 |
| OerHeks | initctl show-config # will show a lot too | 22:01 |

| IamTrying | Ben64: i am looking forward to new version of Ubuntu (official website still keep saying to use Ubuntu 14 which i wont ever) | 22:34 |
| IamTrying | daftykins: no its not Mac hardware, i have used it in Alienware | 22:34 |
| OerHeks | current is 14.04.3 .. | 22:34 |
| Ben64 | 14.04 is lts, and really great, maybe you can fix the problem | 22:34 |
| daftykins | ah so you run a hackintosh then, how delightfully exotic | 22:34 |
| bekks | IamTrying: There never was "Ubuntu 14". There is 14.04 and there was 14.10 | 22:35 |
| tgm4883 | technically current is 15.10 | 22:35 |

| tgm4883 | nicomachus: +1 | 22:35 |

| nicomachus | qinusty: specifically bcm4350 for the XPS 13 | 22:38 |
| EriC^^ | p444: there's useradd , which is more scriptable, and i guess you could use adduser with expect | 22:39 |
| IamTrying | Ubuntu 15xx is it same as 14.04? i want to try it again and see if the echo problem is gone or not. Because only in Linux Ubuntu 14.04 i had that common echo problem, but i never faced that problem in OSX 10.11 and Windows 7, 8 | 22:39 |

| IamTrying | Ben64: my experience in 14.04 with Audio was very very very bad, cant be Google Chrome issue or WebRTC issue because same version of Chromium was working perfectly fine in OSX and Windows. i want to try to see if Ubuntu 15 have any audio upgrades? | 22:41 |
| Ben64 | bzzz: 14.what and what are you trying to accomplish | 22:41 |
| Ben64 | IamTrying: you can try to fix 14.04, or you can try 15.10, do whatever you want | 22:41 |
| tgm4883 | IamTrying: you'll probably have the same issues in any Ubuntu version | 22:41 |
| IamTrying | i would try 15.10. Ben64 thanks | 22:42 |
| IamTrying | tgm4883: but how can i kill that echo? OSX, Windows have it solved but i was unable to kill it in any Ubuntu i tired yet. | 22:42 |

| tgm4883 | IamTrying: being that we have zero idea what you're even trying to do. You should start with actually explaining that | 22:43 |
| Ben64 | bzzz: gnome-panel --replace | 22:43 |

| Bassem | TijG, are you tj? | 22:44 |
| daftykins | IamTrying: just so you know, 14.04.3 uses a newer kernel than the version you likely tried last, so your bias toward 14.04 us highly illogical and 100% unfounded, imo. | 22:44 |
| qinusty | nicomachus: Is there a aptitude package available for that driver? | 22:44 |
| daftykins | s/us/is/ | 22:44 |
| IamTrying | tgm4883: 1) Ubuntu 14.04 on 64-bit machine 2) Chromium or Google Chrome stable was used to do peer to peer webRTC audio call 3) the person who receives the audio and send the audio both had serious echo. 4) on same setup when we replaced the Linux and put OSX or Windows there was 0% echo. | 22:44 |
| nicomachus | qinusty: well, it should be installed already. Did you buy your XPS 13 with ubuntu already installed, or install it yourself? | 22:45 |
| tgm4883 | IamTrying: so the extent of your troubleshooting was.... Switch to OSX and/or Windows? | 22:45 |
| qinusty | nicomachus: Its the skylake model so it came with windows | 22:45 |
| IamTrying | tgm4883: YES. i was surprised, that the echo was 0% in OSX and Windows with same environement/same setup | 22:46 |
| asad_ | Hi. I'm hearing this constant crackling sound from my speakers when nothing is playing. I had this problem in my headphones too which I fixed by setting INTEL_AUDIO_POWERSAVE=false in /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/intel-audio-powersave. This only fixed it for my headphones though. This noise can still be heard from the laptop's speakers... | 22:46 |
| tgm4883 | IamTrying: honestly... If your first response is to jump to OSX and/or Windows, then I don't WANT to help you | 22:46 |
| nicomachus | ugh skylake. ok. well, bring up a terminal and try `sudo modprobe bcm4350` | 22:46 |
| nicomachus | qinusty: ^ | 22:47 |
| tgm4883 | It just shows that it's going to be an extremely uphill battle with too much effort on my part | 22:47 |
| ProbablyAndy | IamTrying: it sort of sounds like a microphone or some other input needs to be muted. | 22:47 |
| IamTrying | tgm4883: no that was not the idea. my idea was to use Ubuntu and stay with Ubuntu. But to find the echo problem i have used those OS's as diagnostic | 22:47 |
| qinusty | nicomachus: module not found. | 22:48 |
| IamTrying | ProbablyAndy: i am sorry to say it was not. it was OS related (not hardware, because on same hardware we have used windows OS which worked ) | 22:48 |
| tgm4883 | IamTrying: which is a terrible first diagnostic. "Hey, this isn't working quite right. Let me reinstall a completely different OS to help troubleshoot the issue" | 22:48 |
| Ben64 | IamTrying: changing os isn't a diagnostic procedure | 22:48 |
| nicomachus | qinusty: ok, `sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source` | 22:48 |
| IamTrying | ProbablyAndy: so let me draw it. 1) on the same PC we had dual boot windows 8 and ubuntu 14.04. when we use Ubuntu we have 100% echo issue. on same machine when we used Windows 0% echo problems. | 22:49 |
| ProbablyAndy | IamTrying: hmm. I'd have to sit around and play with alsamixer (or pulseaudio, since this is ubuntu), and see if anything i change in there affects the issue | 22:49 |
| === bzzz is now known as niee | ||
| Ben64 | IamTrying: yes you said that many times already | 22:49 |
| tgm4883 | IamTrying: part of the problem is that this particular piece of software doesn't seem simple enough for me to just install and test in order to help you with | 22:50 |
| OerHeks | when i hear "echo" there is a speaker/mic setup failing, or the bios is not set to AC'97 which can give vary result. | 22:50 |
| Dylan____ | Hello all | 22:51 |
| IamTrying | Ben64: sorry. i am not here to blame Ubuntu is this and that. I am trying to use Ubuntu again, hoping that the echo problem is fixed or there is way to fix it which i do not know and someone else might know. | 22:51 |
| Ben64 | IamTrying: right, so stop talking about the problem and fix it | 22:51 |
| Dylan____ | I need help with my overheating issue on a mac | 22:51 |
| tgm4883 | IamTrying: well the problem is that you keep saying that "Ubuntu is the problem" yet aren't able to offer really anything to back that up | 22:52 |
| egggs | IamTrying , would it be worth trying to use a live cd or usb with a couple of different flavors of buntu or linux | 22:52 |
| daftykins | Dylan____: if it doesn't happen in OS X then you can come back | 22:52 |

| ubottu | asad_ there's a lot going on right now: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 22:54 |
| daftykins | asad_: i take it you've tried the obvious like muting select channels one by one to see if it helps? | 22:54 |
| asad_ | daftykins: Yes I've tried all that | 22:55 |
| Bassem | can some one help me install ubuntu on sda2 | 22:55 |
| daftykins | that's me out then. | 22:55 |
| daftykins | Bassem: given it's been over 6hrs and you're still going, i have to wonder how you're making this molehill into a mountain | 22:56 |
| asad_ | daftykins: Would upgrading the kernel help? | 22:56 |
| nicomachus | not likely... | 22:56 |
| daftykins | that is not the approach i would take | 22:57 |
| daftykins | what are you running? | 22:57 |
| asad_ | daftykins: 14.04 | 22:57 |
| daftykins | with which kernel? | 22:57 |
| asad_ | daftykins: 3.19.0-39-generic | 22:57 |
| daftykins | yeah so you could boot a live session of 15.10 and test, that'd be the easiest way to test that theory without affecting your install | 22:58 |
| ntfwc | Does anyone know if there is an easy way to get the old md5deep behavior from hashdeep, or do you have to wrap it in another script? | 22:59 |

| tgm4883 | IamTrying: so if I try it out on my 14.04 machine and it works flawlessly, what does that tell you? | 23:01 |

| Bassem | daftykins, what do you mean i choose manual? | 23:01 |
| Bassem | TJ-, can you help me to install ubuntu | 23:02 |
| daftykins | Bassem: ubuntu typically offers to install alongside another OS / wipe an entire disk and install automatically, so there's no reason for you to be stuck at these steps | 23:02 |

| TJ- | daftykins: if we wanted encryption it would all be good as the GUI installer will do encryption + LVM, but not plain LVM! | 23:06 |
| TJ- | Bassem: ahhh! that's a good workaround, I hadn't even realised you had a dual GPU config! | 23:06 |

| daftykins | Dylan____: can you describe these 'overheating issues' more? | 23:07 |
| Dylan____ | How come? | 23:07 |

Then, in the terminal, "sudo lvcreate -L 4G -n swap Ubuntu" then "sudo lvcreate -L 20G -n rootfs Ubuntu" then "sudo lvcreate -L 60G -n home Ubuntu". This will leave approx 20GB unallocated but available for the future, and provide a separate file-system for /home/ so that future upgrades have maximum flexibility. | 23:29 |
| mib_mib | hi all - how can i set the proper ulimit -n? It doesn't seem to stay for all users, only 2 of the ones of in /etc/security/limits.conf (i also added a line to /etc/pam.d/common-session) | 23:30 |
| Bassem | TJ-, where they been created and why would i leave 20 unused since nor windows or ubuntu using it for now it's usless let us use it as well | 23:31 |
| TJ- | Bassem: because later you might need additional space for the root file-system, or for home, but right now you don't that. You're not losing anything because it'll be unused anyhow | 23:33 |
| TJ- | Bassem: unlike with partitioning, you can instantly add unallocated space to a live LV and have the file-system use it | 23:34 |
| Bassem | TJ-, ok whats next | 23:34 |
| TJ- | Bassem: do "sudo lvdisplay" and ensure you see those new LVs reported | 23:35 |
| Bassem | TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13999595/ | 23:36 |
| TJ- | Bassem: OK, start the installer, get into the partitioning stage again, lets see if those LVs show up for use | 23:37 |
| Bassem | TJ-, http://imgur.com/a/IjcFY | 23:44 |
| TJ- | Bassem: fantastic! OK, now, select the /dev/mapper/Ubuntu-rootfs, press the Change button, choose its mountpoint as "/", tick the 'format' checkbox | 23:46 |
| D4RK_PR0XY | HELLO | 23:47 |
| Bassem | TJ-, nothing like this appear to me | 23:47 |
| Bassem | TJ-, same old file system ext4 and 3 and 2 and go on | 23:48 |
| TJ- | Bassem: that's the other option, choose "ext4" there, sorry I forgot to mention that important point | 23:48 |
| nicomachus | hi D4RK_PR0XY | 23:48 |
| D4RK_PR0XY | hi nicomachus, what are we talking about. | 23:49 |
| nicomachus | !ot | D4RK_PR0XY | 23:49 |
| ubottu | D4RK_PR0XY: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 23:49 |
| Bassem | TJ-, should i keep on the Device for boot loader installation as it's /dev/sda | 23:50 |
| Bassem | TJ-, done the/ and the format step | 23:50 |
| TJ- | Bassem: yes, leave the boot loader alone. | 23:50 |
| === DANtheBE- is now known as DANtheBEASTman | ||
| Bassem | TJ-, ok | 23:51 |
| TJ- | Bassem: ok, now choose /dev/mapper/Ubuntu-home and do the same thing but set the mountpoint to "/home", ext4, format yes | 23:51 |
| TJ- | Bassem: then finally again with /dev/mapper/Ubunt-swap and set it to file-system type "swap" | 23:51 |
| Bassem | TJ-, done but swap didnt have format option | 23:53 |
| TJ- | Bassem: no, it doesn't need it. As far as I can think you're now done, and can continue with the install :) | 23:53 |
| Bassem | TJ-, so i choose /home and just click install? | 23:54 |
| TJ- | Bassem: if you've allocated /dev/mapper/Ubuntu-home to the /home mountpoint it should be ready, press the "Install Now" button and it'll check everything is as expected. If it asks questions about the partitioning we can deal with those | 23:55 |
| Bassem | TJ-, its installing now | 23:58 |
| TJ- | Bassem: Yay :D | 23:58 |
| Bassem | TJ-, yay man thanks alot | 23:58 |
| TJ- | Bassem: I hope it was worth all the pain and struggle :D | 23:59 |
