[00:00] TJ-, ok [00:00] here's what i got back [00:00] TJ-: will --delete remove the lock too? [00:00] Tsutsukakushi: I'm not sure, you'll have to read "man 1 passwd" [00:00] configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH [00:00] how do i resolve that please [00:01] TJ-: i did, it didn't mention anything about it [00:01] TJ-, http://imgur.com/zw0BMNg [00:01] 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 [00:02] what is that security key? [00:02] Bassem: do you want it encrypted? If not, change the selection in the "Use As" box [00:02] TJ-: lock doesn't randomize the password, it just adds ! so it can't be unlocked at all [00:03] 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] TJ-, but what else to use [00:04] Bassem: is there not a plain 'LVM' option ? [00:04] TJ-, no the physical volume for encryption [00:04] is only one i got [00:05] Bassem: is there no other choice when you click the down-arrow on the right side of the 'Use as:' box? [00:05] ext4,3,2,btrfs,jfs,xfs,fat15,fat32,ntfs,swap area,physical volume for encryption [00:05] those are the chooices [00:06] choices === jack is now known as Guest4619 [00:07] Bassem: hang on I'm running that installer in a virtual machine [00:07] anyone have time to help me degub a shutdown/reboot problem? [00:08] ignis-fatuus: one source online said you may need an fsck, not sure how accurate that is. [00:09] TJ-, is there away you can connect to my computer like team viewer? [00:09] SchrodingersScat: fsck turned up nothing [00:10] 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] How do i update libreoffice to version 5 from ubuntu software center [00:10] SchrodingersScat: went so far as to boot with a live usb and check all my drives &c. [00:11] Scriptonaut: I have a pic of what the screen looks like after it timesout after 120 sconds [00:11] Bassem: no. won't be long until I have the virtual machine at the same stage as you [00:11] Scriptonaut: http://i.imgur.com/KI7oaqy.jpg [00:12] so, is this related to my issue? [00:13] TJ-, ok waiting for you [00:13] Scriptonaut: boot into the initrd by adding "break=init" to the kernel command line in the GRUB menu. [00:13] how can I do that? I can't login to the machine whatsoever [00:13] Scriptonaut: sorry...tab malfunction [00:14] SchrodingersScat: http://i.imgur.com/KI7oaqy.jpg [00:14] Scriptonaut: then remount the root file system read-write, and create a symlink from /usr/bin/zsh to /bin/bash [00:14] how do I do any of this if I can't login to the machine? [00:14] I can't login as root or my main user [00:15] 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] ok, thanks TJ- [00:15] Scriptonaut: then press Ctrl+X or F10 to boot immediately with that setting [00:16] Guys can someone help me with my macbook pro [00:16] It overheats ubuntu 14.04 [00:16] 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 [00:17] Its 2010 model with like a old nvidia i think 6 something [00:17] Scriptonaut: Then do "ln -sf /bin/bash /usr/bin/zsh" [00:17] 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 [00:18] Dylan____, overheating can be cause of alot of processing and no good colling [00:18] ignis-fatuus: yeah, i saw, and when I searched for that 'Tainted: P' that was what came up, good luck [00:19] I got a nvidia geforce 320m on my macbook pro [00:20] How can i update and get no blackscreen [00:20] SchrodingersScat: yeah....luck is needed. Thought it might be a kernel issue but dooes it no matter which one I boot into [00:20] Its a 2010 macbook pro running ubuntu 14.04 [00:21] Anyone help me? [00:23] you have to be patient Dylan____ someone will help if they can. [00:24] Dylan____: Patience. Await one with the experiece with a Mac . [00:27] TJ-, how is it going [00:27] TJ-: holding shift did nothing :( [00:28] 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] ya left shift [00:28] Bassem: having a few problems with the Try Ubuntu wanting me to log-in :D [00:28] I'm actually on raspbian, maybe it's a bit different [00:29] Scriptonaut: oh, NOW you tell us! completely different, no GRUB for starters! [00:29] TJ-, :D [00:29] TJ-, let us continue it tomorrow [00:29] oh, I'm sorry TJ- [00:30] I fear I really messed my system up [00:30] Bassem: sure, although I think it'd be quicker to do it manually [00:30] raspbian = debian = not this channel [00:30] I'm aware [00:30] TJ-, see you tomorrow tj and many thanks for your great help today [00:30] 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] TJ-, tomorrow we would do whatever you see is right [00:30] cya === Cybert1nus is now known as Cybertinus [00:31] ok, thanks TJ- [00:31] !cookie | TJ- [00:31] TJ-: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [00:33] Im trying to install a driver from a download [00:34] It runs in .run but i cant install [00:34] Its a nvidia driver from there website [00:34] And i dont know what command to use to install [00:34] don't install nvidia drivers that way. [00:34] But there updated [00:34] ?? [00:34] !gpu [00:34] waste of time for your outdated hardware [00:34] Well my nvidia drivers are 320m [00:35] So what should i do aye [00:35] 320m sounds more like a chip not a driver version [00:35] Well thats the nvidia thing that shows up on terminal [00:35] When i enter lspci [00:35] yeah that's the chip, not a driver [00:35] Dylan____: try running "ubuntu-drivers list" [00:35] Alright [00:35] Ill run that [00:35] And ill get back to you in two seconds [00:36] Command not found [00:36] Nvm [00:36] Typo [00:36] Ok heres the drivers it shown [00:37] don't paste in here [00:37] Why?

MD5 hash matches; Check disk: "no errors found" [00:39] http://paste.ubuntu.com/13982287/ [00:40] That help? [00:40] Dylan____: so the latest matching driver would be "Nvidia-340-updates" [00:40] Yes how do i install because im had trouble with black screens [00:41] Or is this preinstalled [00:41] Dylan____: "ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" should do the job, but that doesn't guarantee black-screen issues will be solved. [00:41] And if i do encounter a blackscreen? [00:42] Dylan____: "dpkg -l 'nvidia*' | grep '^ii' " to list the packages installed [00:42] Ok [00:42] So i run the first command that u told me [00:42] 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 === scott_ is now known as Guest62899 [00:43] Couldnt lock are you root [00:43] Dylan____: prefix it with "sudo " [00:43] Ok [00:43] All of this stuff just came in the terminal [00:44] Bumblebee wont work with my driver wont it?

[00:49] I just ran a sudo apt-get update and additional drivers [00:49] You mentioned Bumblebee [00:49] Says it using recommended driver [00:49] Before it was using xorg === sins-_t is now known as sins- [00:49] Yeah i saw it had bumblebee in the terminal [00:49] It was going to install it and stuff [00:49] Optimus is the low-power/high-power dual-GPU design [00:49] Ok [00:50] So what do i do now [00:50] nvidia-prime is the way Optimus is supported now, Bumblebee is deprecated [00:50] To make sure i dont encounter a blackscreen and making sure it works [00:50] Dylan____: does "apt-cache policy nvidia-prime" report it is installed? [00:50] Ill check [00:51] It says installed 0.6.2 and canidadte [00:52] So i did everything correctly === yuno is now known as Guest20990 [00:55] why did i get banned fr,om every channel?

One uses what works best in any particular situation . [01:01] 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] Bashing-om: i mean creating the dual boot after an ubuntu install [01:01] Bashing-om: everything i hear says start windows than add ubuntu but i'm not gonna do that [01:01] Dylan____: it may need the nomodeset parameter passing to the kernel [01:01] mekhami: Will just have to re-install the boot code . [01:01] !nomodeset | Dylan____ [01:01] 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] Ok can you help me with that? [01:01] I dont know how to fix it [01:01] But ill get to grub boot menu [01:03] Cause i dont understand [01:04] mekhami: No problem really ... as said .. when all done will just have to re-install grub, as Windows will replace the boot code . [01:05] Does Ubuntu have the "hibernate" option? [01:05] is there a way to get to the function keys on login on a Ubuntu guest on vsphere client? The function keys on the keyboard assist is missing [01:06] Any chance someone can help me with a minor problem? [01:07] orb_, Ask [01:07] why? [01:10] Okay, so after installing Shutter (ScreenShot program) it installed ImageMagick along side with it, curious to what it was, I opened the program, then I couldn't close it. 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. [01:11] please can someone gime me a link or atleast a hint how i can create another virutal drive? [01:12] hey [01:14] orb_, Probably just needs a restart. [01:15] 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? [01:16] (running 14.04 LTS) [01:18] hey how to go up and down in the chat page in irssi ? [01:18] ? [01:18] hey how to go up and down in the chat page in irssi ? [01:20] meem page up and page down keys . [01:20] is there a key called page ?? [01:21] I dont see it its i have FR keyboard [01:21] meem, "pg up" or "pg down" or use cursor keys [01:21] meem: I would think it dependent on the keyboard . Mine is a standard qwerty ASCII board and has the indicated keys . [01:22] Bashing-om : i got it it says in mine pause and attn [01:23] meem: :) [01:23] Bashing-om : which clinte are you using or u prefer [01:24] meem: irssi .. you are aware there is a dedicated channel, #irssi, on this server ? [01:25] no am not [01:25] Bashing-om : am ganna try out weechat have u tried it ? [01:26] Tashtari, cron works here for root. [01:27] Tashtari, if you re-edit the crontab is your edited line there? remember 5 fields of time [01:27] Yup, it's still there. [01:28] 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] And is the same across three different boxes. [01:30] meem: We are off-topic for this channel . I tried weeechat briefly ... I prefer CLI . [01:30] 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 [01:31] I'll try the same thing, hang on... [01:32] Bother, that worked. That means something -else- is awry... [01:33] Tashtari, [hint] if it doesnm [01:33] [hint]? [01:34] t work for me I copy/paste the command portion into a command line and see if it works. [01:34] Tashtari, hit return by mistake [01:35] Definitely does work on the command line... [01:35] And according to syslog, it's being executed. [01:35] This is weird. [01:36] 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] Bashing-om: what is the command to pastebin something is it "pastebin ifconfig" ?? [01:36] Which, if it is working, should mean that running apt-get autoremove should show nothing to remove (or at least, very little) [01:37] hello, anyone know an alternative to Nova Builder? [01:37] And if I do that right now on the box, it shows eight packages to autoremove. [01:38] Bashing-om: i want to pastebin an output from cl [01:38] meem: If you have the tool install ' ifconfig | pastebinit ' . [01:38] Tashtari, does apt-get autoremove require any leyboard input (like yes or no) remember that crontab doesn't have a std-in [01:38] meem: installed* [01:38] Tashtari, I've not used the remove command [01:39] yes i got it thanks for the reminder [01:39] Oh, hell. [01:39] Haha, I should have noticed that. [01:39] Tashtari, you could redirect the input from a file with only 'y' in it [01:40] Bashing-om : we really can do anything from the cl now that i think of it . [01:40] 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... [01:41] Hi this is getting a little annoying. One major hassle has lead to discovery of two others. My ubuntu virtualized systems (happens on debian too) loose the passwords that I have assigned to accounts) recovery is necessary, it then works for a while and then it looses the passwords, seems to happen on boot. I know I have the passwords right (single finger typing with copying passwords from a paper works for a while then it "looses" them) thats proble [01:41] m one [01:42] problem 2: ubuntu keyboard assist is missing function keys (totally absent) Doesn't seem to be a work around [01:42] Tashtari, hope it all works now, have a great tomorrow [01:42] W9QBJ: Good catch, thanks for the help. [01:43] problem 3: vmware's fling embedded console doesnt allow the passing of function keys from debian desktop to vmware guest console (fling is from vmware labs) [01:44] that is passing function keys in the normal way doesnt work neither does ctrl + alt + space bar followed by Function keys work [01:44] s/keys work /doesnt work [01:56] Can somebody please explain how to use sbuild-launchpad-chroot?
