| rodd` | hi, Im about to format my hdd to sell my laptop, id like to know of ways to fully wipe the hdd and prevent future attemps of recovering deleted files (by new owner), any tips? | 00:01 |
| TJ- | Bassem: well at last we've not messed up Windows. The only thing affecting that (and we previsouly backed up the Windows boot-strap master boot record (MBR) from sector 0 of the disk) is the GRUB bootloader, which will be the system default boot-loader, and will list Ubuntu and Windows (we hope - is os-prober now works!) | 00:01 |
| daftykins | rodd`: dd zero fill, or grab the ever popular live tool CD 'DBAN' | 00:02 |
| rodd` | thanks daftykins | 00:03 |
| Bassem | TJ-, its now downloading languge pack | 00:03 |
| Bassem | TJ-, wha language pack? | 00:03 |
| TJ- | Bassem: for the locale you're in | 00:04 |
| Bassem | TJ-, i dont need unnecessary language pack installed | 00:04 |
| TJ- | Bassem: language-packs are translations (including the default language) | 00:04 |
| Bassem | TJ-, it was downloading alot of packs | 00:04 |
| OneM_Industries | Hey, do you know where Lubuntu questions are handled. | 00:05 |
| OneM_Industries | ?* | 00:05 |
| nicomachus | OneM_Industries: you found the place. :) | 00:05 |
| k1l_ | OneM_Industries: #lubuntu or ask here | 00:05 |
| OneM_Industries | Ah, ok. | 00:05 |
| OerHeks | there is no asklubuntu.com | 00:05 |
| TJ- | OneM_Industries: if it's LXDE specific #lubuntu may know better else try us | 00:05 |
| OneM_Industries | I found this old thing sitting around and was wondering how well/if Lubuntu would run on it: http://www.cnet.com/products/hp-compaq-presario-sr1000/specs/ | 00:06 |
| rodd` | can I do dd zero fill from a ubuntu live cd? | 00:06 |
| OerHeks | OneM_Industries, maybe Xubuntu runs too, but do not expect to run youtube flawlessly with that VIA UniChrome | 00:07 |
| OneM_Industries | I was not expecting that anyway. | 00:07 |
| k1l_ | OneM_Industries: the spces sound like a typical Lubuntu machine. but the video card is going to be a pain on all recent linux distributions | 00:07 |
| daftykins | rodd`: yes | 00:08 |
| OneM_Industries | Hm. | 00:08 |
| OneM_Industries | Good to know. | 00:08 |
| OerHeks | or mate-desktop, try it out? | 00:08 |
| OneM_Industries | I will. | 00:08 |
| OneM_Industries | If all else fails, I have an old XP ISO somewhere. | 00:08 |
| daftykins | i actually wouldn't expend the energy to move that box and plug it in | 00:08 |
| daftykins | single core is useless today imo | 00:08 |
| TJ- | 12.04 may be OK but the later VIA unichrome drivers are unmaintained and bit-rotting last time I looked | 00:09 |
| OneM_Industries | Ok. | 00:09 |
| TJ- | pfft, single cores are fine, depends what you want to do to them :) | 00:09 |
| nicomachus | OneM_Industries: I would not recommend an XP iso unless you plan to never plug it in to a network... | 00:09 |
| daftykins | TJ-: true, calculators are still used ;) | 00:09 |
| TJ- | entire network controllers run on single-core! | 00:09 |
| daftykins | OneM_Industries: yeah what you're trying to do is a crime | 00:10 |
| daftykins | i ought to come and confiscate that XP disc :P | 00:10 |
| OneM_Industries | Hey, we paid for it in 2002. | 00:12 |

| c|oneman | no you can't. | 00:15 |
| daftykins | folks, not a Windows channel... lets take it elsewhere huh? | 00:15 |
| OneM_Industries | They used some old embroidery software that would only run on that, so yeah. Sorry, daftykins. | 00:15 |
| Bassem | TJ-, it still gie me blank screen for my nividia | 00:16 |
| TJ- | Bassem: Right, because at the moment it is using the nouveau driver. You need to install the nvidia proprietary drivers. I assume you've rebooted into the installed system? | 00:17 |
| Bassem | TJ-, yes im on the installed system now and back again to my onboard HDMI | 00:18 |
| Bassem | TJ-, and by the way tie windows load very well | 00:18 |
| TJ- | Bassem: OK, reboot it with the Nvidia GPU enabled, making sure to continue holding down the left Shift key until you see the GRUB boot manager menu | 00:19 |
| TJ- | Bassem: at that point, choose the "Advanced" sub-menu, then choose the first "Recovery..." option | 00:19 |
| Bassem | TJ-, should i connect my HDMI cable to nividia? | 00:21 |

| TJ- | Drone4four-2: "(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)" | 00:32 |
| Drone4four-2 | thanks TJ- | 00:32 |
| Drone4four-2 | yeah i tried uninstalling my nvidia drivers thinking that they could have been the source of my problem | 00:32 |
| Drone4four-2 | so do i have to set in motion an open source alternative, TJ-? | 00:33 |
| TJ- | Drone4four-2: and noveau open-source driver isn't loading due to the "nomodeset" kernel parameter | 00:33 |
| TJ- | Drone4four-2: that's reported with "(EE) [drm] KMS not enabled" | 00:34 |
| TJ- | Drone4four-2: KMS == Kernel Mode Settings (which nomodeset disables) | 00:34 |
| Drone4four-2 | ah ok, TJ-,so if i remove nomodeset from Grub at boot, then nouveau should load and X should start? | 00:35 |
| TJ- | Drone4four-2: in *theory*, if the GPU is fully supported. However, sometimes 'nomodeset' is used due to getting black screens with nouveau. If you have local VT console I'd re-install the correct nvidia proprietary drivers | 00:36 |
| Bassem | TJ-, im back with my nvidia connected but very low resolution on my screen | 00:36 |
| TJ- | Drone4four-2: run "sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" | 00:37 |
| Drone4four-2 | i can try that. i will try remove nomodeset. if that doesn't work then in a VT i'll install older nvidia drivers. and if X still doesn't start, then my Xorg.0.log should produce different errors | 00:37 |
| Drone4four-2 | i never knew about sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall | 00:37 |
| Drone4four-2 | i can try that too | 00:37 |
| TJ- | Bassem: OK, that's fine. You could switch to a text VT console by pressing "Ctrl+Alt+F1", log-in, then do "sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" to have the correct proprietary Nvidia drivers installed | 00:38 |
| Bassem | TJ-, say again | 00:40 |
| TJ- | Bassem: OK, that's fine. You could switch to a text VT console by pressing "Ctrl+Alt+F1", log-in, then do "sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" to have the correct proprietary Nvidia drivers installed | 00:41 |
| Bassem | TJ-, and how to get out of this mod | 00:42 |
| Bassem | i mean ctrl+alt+f1 | 00:43 |
| TJ- | Bassem: mod? the terminal? press Alt+F7 to return to tty7, which has the GUI | 00:43 |

| IamTrying | Bashing-om: no no no, i need to keep Windows on it. beside windows i need Ubuntu | 01:01 |

| wyoung | leonic: That's no good. Have you tried doing a quick google search on your laptop model key and ubuntu version? | 01:34 |
| leonic | i did have a couple of distros includin ppupy | 01:34 |
| shadowzero26 | leonic: you can remove the keys individually and clean them | 01:34 |
| leonic | XDDDD | 01:34 |
| wyoung | leonic: but yeah it could be a physcial problem or a driver issue, I am assuming you have tested under different OSs etc..? | 01:34 |
| shadowzero26 | my dog spilled a beer on my apsire, then, the next day he spilled a cherry coke on my laptop | 01:35 |

| nicomachus | Bassem: yes, with unity-tweak-tool | 01:42 |
| Zelrik | sudo rm filename.txt => Segmentation fault | 01:42 |
| TJ- | Zelrik: Is that after a clean reboot? | 01:43 |
| Zelrik | yeah | 01:43 |
| Zelrik | after I upgraded to 14.04 | 01:43 |
| TJ- | Zelrik: then some library is corrupt, or the wrong version | 01:43 |
| Zelrik | how do I fix | 01:44 |
| nicomachus | Bassem: you can install unity-tweak-tool and then adjust font sizes, which will make your title bar larger. | 01:44 |
| TJ- | Zelrik: what release did the PC release-upgrade from? | 01:44 |
| Zelrik | I think 12.04 | 01:44 |
| TJ- | Zelrik: was the system using any 3rd party package repositories (PPAs) ? | 01:44 |
| Zelrik | yeah | 01:45 |
| Zelrik | they got disabled during upgrade I think | 01:45 |
| TJ- | Zelrik: Did any errors get reported during the release-upgrade? | 01:45 |
| Zelrik | yeah there were some errors | 01:45 |
| Bassem | compiz control panel extension or unity-tweak-tool | 01:45 |
| TJ- | Zelrik: did you fix them? did you capture their text ? | 01:46 |
| Zelrik | no I didnt | 01:46 |
| Zelrik | I thought I could clean that up after upgrade | 01:46 |
| TJ- | Zelrik: OK, so there may be some problems due to packages not having upgraded correctly | 01:46 |
| TJ- | Zelrik: can you do, as a regular user, "touch /tmp/test; rm /tmp/test" without errors? | 01:46 |
| Zelrik | I can | 01:47 |
| TJ- | Zelrik: and the extact same commands prefixed with 'sudo ' seg-fault? | 01:47 |
| Zelrik | yes | 01:47 |
| Zelrik | so it s sudo that s broken | 01:48 |
| Zelrik | sudo su is broken too | 01:48 |
| TJ- | Zelrik: so that tends to suggest that the dependencies of 'sudo' might be the culprit. When you do "apt-cache depends sudo" you can see those | 01:48 |
| IamTrying | Ubuntu 15.10 - is installed in Surface pro 3 successfully. But Front and Back camera is not working like device is not found. how can i use the camera then? | 01:48 |

| TJ- | Zelrik: you can ignore the Conflicts/Replaces. Those aren't reports about the current status, they are the package declaring what it can (not) install alongside | 01:49 |
| === hawkeye is now known as Guest86813 | ||
| nicomachus | IamTrying: that's some experimental stuff, so it may just not work. you may not be able to use the camera with ubuntu, because the hardware isn't intended for it. | 01:49 |
| nicomachus | rahuldev: you can add it to one of your existing partitions or leave it unallocated. | 01:50 |
| rahuldev | nicomachus, in ubuntu can we create one more partition? | 01:51 |
| TJ- | Zelrik: I think we need to try to capture the cause of the seg-fault. I wonder if you can use the debugger to do that | 01:51 |
| IamTrying | nicomachus: mouse touch pad also does not work. now the touch-screen also not working | 01:52 |

| nicomachus | rahuldev: yes you can have more than partition... | 01:53 |
| Zelrik | effective uid is not 0 | 01:53 |
| srg | TJ-: So, is that the right way to do it? Make a FAT32 GPT partition and copy the ISO files there? | 01:53 |
| TJ- | srg: otherwise, simply copy /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi to /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI" | 01:53 |
| nicomachus | Bassem: you can disable online sources in System Settings --> Security & Privacy | 01:54 |
| TJ- | srg: no, just write the ISO directly to the raw USB device | 01:54 |
| srg | oh, so dd it? | 01:54 |
| TJ- | srg: Correct :D | 01:54 |
| srg | Thanks! | 01:54 |
| Zelrik | , is /usr/bin/sudo on a file system with the 'nosuid' option set or an nfs file system without root privileges? | 01:54 |

| IamTrying | OK - thank you nicomachus | 01:55 |
| TJ- | Zelrik: that suggests "ls -l /usr/bin/sudo" will show the file doesn't have its 's' bit set, can you show us what that command shows? | 01:55 |
| TJ- | srg: UEFI is wonderful :) | 01:55 |

| nicomachus | language, Zelrik | 01:56 |
| TJ- | nicomachus: no, statement of fact. OSs now can co-exist without replacing each other's files | 01:57 |

| Zelrik | I get /dev/disk/by-uuid/<some uuid> /ext4 rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered 0 0 | 01:59 |

| TJ- | Zelrik: give me a few minutes, I'll read the sudo source code see what causes it to throw out that hint | 02:00 |
| rahuldev | hi what could be the difference between "sudo apt upgrade" and "sudo apt-get upgrade"? | 02:01 |
| zykotick9 | rahuldev: the outcome should be the same. apt is just a newer program... | 02:02 |
| zykotick9 | rahuldev: actually sorry, there _is_ a difference. ".. apt upgrade" will update MORE then "apt-get upgrade" | 02:02 |
| rahuldev | zykotick9, thanks! | 02:03 |
| MannyLNJ | Help please. What is the correct command line to use ddrescue to copy a failing drive that is under /media/ubuntu/OS to /media/ubuntu/dave | 02:03 |
| zykotick9 | rahuldev: "apt upgrade" is _closer_ to "apt-get dist-upgrade" | 02:04 |
| TJ- | Zelrik: did you install something like the Yubikey PAM modules? | 02:04 |
| Zelrik | TJ not sure | 02:04 |

| Zelrik | doesnt ring a bell | 02:04 |
| PMT | Hi all, I'm trying to get a kernel dump on Ubuntu 15.10 amd64, I have crashdumprecipe configured correctly, if I do a c > /proc/sysrq-trigger I get a nice dump in /var/crash, but when the actual panic that I'm trying to diagnose happens, I'm getting files full of 0x00 in /var/crash. Do I need to tell the crash kernel "no, really, make sure it flushes to disk before you reboot" somehow? | 02:04 |
| TJ- | Zelrik: the reason I ask is someone else reports the same issue, and its down to additional PAM modules (might not be just YUBI): http://askubuntu.com/questions/501538/how-to-check-if-fstab-file-is-correct-without-sudo | 02:05 |

| Guest8707 | how in the handwriting recognition in Ubuntu? | 02:09 |
| christia1 | . | 02:10 |
| TJ- | Zelrik: OK, so you must have some other customised PAM modules installed from a 3rd party repository under 12.04 which are not compatible with 14.04 | 02:12 |
| istok | something strange, in my neighbourhood, with the ubuntu and some VLC | 02:13 |
| Zelrik | ok | 02:13 |
| istok | anyone else every have any issue with 14.04.5 and terminal window, while VLC is running? | 02:14 |
| JeDa | mp | 02:14 |
| istok | it seems to open fine, without VLC, but when I'm watching something, the terminal will open at randomised x/y | 02:14 |
| JeDa | no* | 02:14 |
| Guest8707 | does Ubuntu have handwriting recognition? | 02:14 |
| istok | by fine, I mean in the same place as I left it, when I closed | 02:14 |
| nicomachus | Guest8707: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/lucid/tegaki-recognize/ | 02:15 |
| TJ- | Zelrik: so you need to identify the possible sources of such modules via the now-disabled 12.04 apt repositories, either in /etc/apt/sources.list or files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 02:15 |
| TJ- | Zelrik: once you've identified the possible sources you'll have to find out what exact package-names would have been installed from those, and then check on the system if they are, in fact, installed. If so, then those would be the first to investigate by removing them | 02:17 |
| Zelrik | I see tor, some custom fonts and bitcoin stuff | 02:17 |
| === christia1 is now known as mdxxx | ||
| Guest8707 | the handwriting recognition on Windows 10 iS sweet | 02:18 |
| istok | very weird. I've search google, there doesn't appear to be any bug/complaints regarding terminal+VLC and it messing with position and I can't find any other package (visual/audio) that causes the same issue | 02:18 |
| leonic | how can i changue where ubuntu save the current system | 02:18 |
| TJ- | Zelrik: I'm not sure how else you can identify additions, unless the package added its own file under /etc/pam.d/ and you can recognise it by name | 02:18 |
| leonic | i mean i am in a borroed laptop but i have no space | 02:18 |

| bleach | Looking for an answer to a really strange eth0 behaviour question. 2 of my systems periodically loose the DHCP assigned ipv4 address. | 02:20 |
| Zelrik | I have gdm in addition to lightdm | 02:20 |
| TJ- | bleach: are those systems using Network Manager to control the lease via its private dhclient instance? | 02:21 |
| bleach | Tj; No, its just straight DHCP from the router. | 02:21 |
| TJ- | Zelrik: OK, I doubt 'gdm' would be an issue. its possible there's been a change in the text of one of those files to call on some other module. Can you see which file(s) were most recently changed by their timestamps? Those would be the ones I'd look inside, firstly | 02:22 |
| Zelrik | its the only difference I have | 02:22 |
| TJ- | bleach: so the PCs are not using Network Manager? They're using /etc/network/interfaces manually defined? | 02:22 |
| Zelrik | gdm is the new stuff | 02:23 |
| === jeremy is now known as Guest98728 | ||
| Zelrik | gdm-launch-environment and gdm-password | 02:24 |
| Zelrik | both are from today | 02:24 |
| bleach | Tj; Looks like I might be confusing what you are asking me. I do not have them set for static ip and indeed I have not done anything to the network configuration since installation. That is it is the same setup that was created by the installers. | 02:24 |
| TJ- | bleach: OK, that means Network Manager service is responsible. That's good, because it does a lot of verbose logging in /var/log/syslog. NM uses a private instance of 'dhclient' to contact the DHCP server, obtain and manage a lease, so I'd look in syslog at the dhclient specific parts, especially when the lease is not renewed, for clues | 02:27 |
| bleach | Tj; I have been around the UNIX/Linux world since before Slackware 0.9 and have never seen an interface 'forget' its assigned address on any machine before and now I have 2 different one doing the same thing! | 02:27 |
| bleach | OK Thanks Tj, I go take a look now since it just did it again about a half an hour ago! | 02:28 |
| TJ- | bleach: check if the private dhclient instances are still running with "ps -efly | grep dhclient" - you'd expect to see something with paths that prominently include "NetworkManager" paths under /var/ | 02:29 |
| PMT | Just filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kexec-tools/+bug/1525746 about the issue, let's see whether I or someone on launchpad figures it out first. | 02:29 |

| Zelrik | TJ-, is there a way to disable gdm PAMs? | 02:30 |
| TJ- | Zelrik: move the file out of /etc/pam.d/ temporarily | 02:31 |
| Zelrik | permission denied | 02:32 |
| TJ- | Zelrik: of course - you need sudo :D | 02:32 |
| Zelrik | if I need sudo to fix sudo, I wont make much progress | 02:33 |
| Zelrik | lol | 02:33 |
| TJ- | Zelrik: you'd be best rebooting into Recovery mode, getting a 'root' shell, remounting the root file-system read-write, and doing it | 02:33 |
| TJ- | Zelrik: even as 'root' you can call sudo, so you may be able to reproduce the issue but not be limited in trying to fix it since you're already 'root' | 02:33 |

| Drone4four__ | hey TJ-, i tried installing the latest nvidia drivers and i also tried booting w/o nomodeset and x still won't start. new Xorg.0.log file in full can be found in my forum thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2306173&p=13406380 | 02:42 |
| Zelrik | not sure how to fix that conflict | 02:43 |
| TJ- | Drone4four__: that indicates there's a "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" - can you pastebin that file. It is very possible that file is not required so you could move it to a back-up name and restart the DM session with "service lightdm restart" | 02:45 |
| Mdxxx | 02:45 | |
| TJ- | Zelrik: identify the installed package versions: "apt-cache policy libpam-smbpasswd samba-libs" | 02:46 |
| Drone4four__ | yeah when x still didn't start, i tried: nvidia-xconfig which created an xorg.conf . i prolly should have mentioned this in my forum post . i'll pastebin that file right now | 02:47 |

| regedit | who removed nvidia drivers > 352 from wily repos | 02:52 |
| TJ- | Drone4four__: the only thing in that log I wonder about is you've still not "nomodeset" on the kernel command-line, although as the nvidia driver doesn't report any issues it may not be relevant. It looks more likely a user profile issue now | 02:52 |
| Drone4four__ | TJ-, ah ok ...what does a user profile issue mean? | 02:53 |
| regedit | vivid had nvidia 355 and 358 already, what does it take for wily to get those too? | 02:53 |

| TJ- | regedit: nvidia-352 is the latest in the archives for 15.04 and 15.10, so if you had a later release it came from a PPA or other 3rd party. Did the release-upgrade disable the ubuntu gpu-drivers PPA by chance? | 03:00 |
| regedit | TJ-: ah maybe it did, i do remember seeing some sort of message about 3rd party repos being turned off | 03:01 |
| regedit | TJ-: where can i view all these 3rd party / PPAs that may have been turned off? | 03:01 |
| TJ- | regedit: right, check in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and you'll need to rename the file from .list.save to just .list, and edit the file internals replacing 'vivid' with 'wily' | 03:02 |
| bleach | Tj; what version and flavor are you running? | 03:02 |
| regedit | TJ-: ok, i shall blindly do so :) | 03:02 |
| TJ- | regedit: it should be, if I am guessing correctly, the 'graphics-drivers.list' | 03:03 |

| bleach | Tj; Unity? | 03:03 |

| TJ- | bleach: No, KDE, XFCE or LXDE | 03:04 |
| regedit | TJ-: awesome ok. Who is that ppa BTW? i thought i removed the xorg-edgers repo because i thought 355 (and even 358?) went into the official mainline or something? | 03:04 |
| TJ- | regedit: xorg-edgers was the one that publishes the nightly stack which would break | 03:04 |
| bleach | Tj; Humm, I'm running XFCE and my log does not look much like yours. | 03:04 |
| TJ- | regedit: I'm pretty sure I recall getting you to switch to the graphics-drivers PPA, at https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa | 03:05 |

| TJ- | bleach: did you manually configure the networking ? | 03:05 |
| bleach | Tj; I do have the bound reponse message. No I did not but maybe I should as that has always worked on previous releases. | 03:06 |
| TJ- | regedit: the graphics-drivers is semi-official, in that is there specifically to provide the latest proprietary packages only | 03:06 |
| regedit | TJ-: gotcha, thanks | 03:06 |
| TJ- | bleach: NM relies on dhclient; if dhclient isn't obtaining a renewal then something is wrong there | 03:06 |
| bleach | Tj; Let me do some checking... | 03:06 |
| Gerowen | Nvm, I figured out why it goes to sleep as soon as it starts up, I have a laptop closed up and connected to an external monitor. It was sleeping because the lid was closed. Options changed, :-) | 03:07 |

| regedit | Zelrik: when boot fails, you usually need to bootup ubuntu from a USB stick, install and run the "boot-repair" tool | 03:17 |
| regedit | there could be other good things you can do from recovery tho | 03:17 |
| regedit | Zelrik: for example i believe there's an option there to fix/update grub, try that | 03:18 |

| MannyLNJ | ProbablyAndy, the failing dive is NOT showing as mounted and the good drive is /deb/sdb2 according to that command | 03:20 |

| === regedit is now known as regedit_ | ||
| ProbablyAndy | MannyLNJ: basically the idea is that ddrescue dumps all the data off the drive and onto a good one, without mounting it. Then you can use other tools to sift through the data and hopefully recover something. | 03:25 |

| Gerowen | Anybody know why my desktops in Gnome are jacked up? I only have one, and when I try to move windows onto a new one, nothing happens, everything is stuck on this one desktop. | 03:50 |
| tlt | transhuman__, or make arbitrary rows through gufw and edit them manually | 03:50 |
| badbodh | Gerowen, open gnome-tweak-tool and check if you disabled dynamic desktop by accident | 03:51 |
| Gerowen | Nope | 03:52 |
| django_ | hey all | 03:53 |
| Gerowen | badbodh: Soon as gtk-recordmydesktop finishes installing I'll show you what's happening. | 03:53 |
| django_ | is ubuntu good at predicting the battery life? | 03:53 |
| badbodh | ok | 03:53 |
| badbodh | django_, please state your specific problem. | 03:53 |
| django_ | badbodh, i forgot my laptop charger for the night and i wanna know how much time i have left :/ | 03:54 |
| Hitechcg | django_: In my opinion, it's okay, but tends to estimate a bit high | 03:54 |
| django_ | :/ | 03:54 |
| django_ | it says 3hr 43 min | 03:54 |
| kadiro | hello, can any one tell me where to found official application for vdr-sc pluging and vdr-plugin-dvbapi ? | 03:54 |
| Hitechcg | What are you planning to do on it and for how long? | 03:55 |
| kadiro | me? | 03:55 |
| badbodh | django_, time varies depending on what apps you are running | 03:55 |
| kadiro | \o badbodh | 03:55 |
| django_ | true | 03:56 |
| Hitechcg | kadiro: no, django_ | 03:56 |
| badbodh | run a flashplayer hd video and 3hr 43min ends inside an hour :D | 03:56 |
| badbodh | kadiro, what's vdr ? | 03:56 |
| kadiro | badbodh: video disk recorder | 03:57 |
| Gerowen | badbodh: The option "Workspaces only on primary display" was enabled. When I disabled it, the issue fixed itself. | 03:57 |
| badbodh | Gerowen, ah | 03:57 |
| Gerowen | badbodh: I guess when it's enabled, it sees each monitor as a workspace, and since I only have one monitor, that's what was going on. | 03:57 |
| badbodh | forget about it, 'gnome-shell is a bug'. | 03:58 |
| badbodh | kadiro, https://github.com/manio/vdr-plugin-dvbapi | 04:00 |
| kadiro | badbodh: thank you, i hop this time it work XD | 04:00 |
| kadiro | ah no it is from source | 04:01 |
| badbodh | yes. chop chop... | 04:01 |
| badbodh | make a .deb out of it | 04:01 |
| kadiro | i already compiled it from that source and got incompatibility | 04:01 |
| badbodh | kadiro, do you ever bloody google ? https://launchpad.net/~aap/+archive/ubuntu/vdr | 04:03 |
| badbodh | and get your tushy to mint channels, i know you're not on ubuntu :/ | 04:03 |
| carrera | Greetings! :-) | 04:04 |
| carrera | I finally installed Ubuntu MATE 15.10 on my new Asus G751 laptop | 04:04 |
| badbodh | yay! good job | 04:04 |
| kadiro | badbodh: that link is ppa, tested already, not stable, crashing in first place | 04:04 |
| carrera | badbodh, thanks dude | 04:04 |
| kadiro | i want an official one | 04:04 |
| carrera | but I have a problem | 04:04 |
| badbodh | carrera, go on | 04:05 |
| carrera | I can login at tty1, I can ssh in but I can not login at the light-dm prompt | 04:05 |
| carrera | it says, "Failed to start session" | 04:05 |
| badbodh | tweak lightdm's conf to enable ssh | 04:05 |
| kadiro | badbodh: i tryed many channel of linux, no one have clue about vdr :/ | 04:06 |
| badbodh | /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf i guess , or look in /usr/share/lightdm... | 04:06 |
| carrera | I Googled but I found 2 solutions, namely installing or reinstalling ubuntu-desktop or ubuntu-session | 04:06 |
| kadiro | badbodh: thank you anyway :D i will test in mint if any one have little info about that XD | 04:07 |
| carrera | badbodh, no lightdm.conf | 04:08 |
| carrera | only lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf | 04:08 |
| badbodh | carrera, you meant ssh login right? or the normal local user-account login ? | 04:08 |
| carrera | yes sir | 04:08 |
| carrera | both | 04:08 |
| carrera | I can login from both | 04:08 |
| carrera | I used Netinstall and ticked ssh server during the install | 04:08 |
| badbodh | "Failed to start session" <--- which session ? | 04:10 |
| carrera | gui session | 04:10 |
| carrera | tty7 | 04:10 |
| badbodh | unity ? | 04:11 |
| carrera | MATE | 04:11 |
| carrera | wait a sec | 04:11 |
| === wolsen_ is now known as wolsen | ||
| badbodh | oh forgot :P ok. log into your local account using tty, your home directory should have something like .xsession-errors | 04:12 |
| carrera | I have lightdm-gtk-greeter-ubuntu-mate.conf on my old laptop, also running Ubuntu MATE 15.10 | 04:12 |
| carrera | but that file is not on the new laptop | 04:12 |
| badbodh | run "cat ~/.xsession-errors|pastebinit " and gimme the link | 04:13 |
| badbodh | run 'ls -a|grep error' to check the exact file name, dunno if it's .xsession-- or .Xsession-- , i forget | 04:14 |
| carrera | run it as me or root? | 04:14 |
| badbodh | no root. your regular account | 04:15 |
| carrera | ok | 04:15 |
| carrera | ls -a | grep error returned nothing | 04:15 |
| carrera | ls -a does not show either file | 04:16 |
| carrera | this is all I have: | 04:17 |

| badbodh | first gotta figure out if lightdm's fault or mate's , install another dm and see if you get "Failed to start session" again | 04:18 |
| carrera | nicomachus, ok, thanks | 04:19 |
| carrera | badbodh, should I reinstall ubuntu-mate-desktop? | 04:19 |
| Bashing-om | carrera: In your /home directoy " ls -al .xsession-errors >> -rw------- 1 sysop sysop 537 May 22 2013 .xsession-errors " should return similar . | 04:19 |
| badbodh | that's just a meta-package, re-installing that won't do | 04:19 |
| carrera | http://sourcedigit.com/16407-how-to-fix-failed-to-start-session-at-ubuntu-login/ | 04:20 |
| carrera | I don't even have a lightdm.conf file | 04:21 |
| badbodh | carrera, no harm in doing that. reinstall what he says then | 04:21 |
| Dylan____ | Hello guys my macbook pro once again has encounted a blackscreen | 04:23 |
| Dylan____ | I caught a glimpse and it said about the neavou driver | 04:23 |
| Dylan____ | Anyone help? | 04:23 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | !rescue | Dylan____ | 04:24 |
| ubottu | Dylan____: If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode | 04:24 |
| Dylan____ | Never mind it just worked | 04:24 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | woot | 04:24 |
| Dylan____ | Must have been some glitch | 04:24 |
| Dylan____ | Idk | 04:24 |
| nicomachus | rescued. | 04:24 |
| RoadRunner | changed res on the monitor and now can't boot into ubuntu's/lubuntu's gui; if boot from a USB stick, where would I find the monitor config file to change the res back? | 04:24 |
| dotpixis | this is a stupid question; but how do i get ibus daemon to autostart when i boot? | 04:25 |
| Dylan____ | Guys i encounted system problem:/ | 04:25 |
| carrera | badbodh, cat /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log --> Seat seat0: Can't find session 'ubuntu' | 04:25 |
| carrera | but my session should be ubuntu-mate | 04:25 |
| dotpixis | Dylan____: what's the problem? | 04:25 |
| Dylan____ | Omg | 04:25 |
| Dylan____ | Well i just got system problem | 04:26 |
| Dylan____ | And it was with the xorg | 04:26 |
| badbodh | carrera, ok now i get it. you installed unity greeter. | 04:26 |
| dotpixis | x needs to die | 04:26 |
| badbodh | should have used gtk greeter | 04:26 |
| nicomachus | it's on the way out, dotpixis | 04:26 |
| carrera | badbodh, I should probably change user-session to ubuntu-mate but lightdm.conf does not exist on either of my systems | 04:26 |
| dotpixis | good | 04:26 |
| nicomachus | Dylan____: gonna need more info about that "system problem" | 04:26 |
| Dylan____ | And it has stuff about xserver-xorg-core problem type crash it says k have some obsolete package installed | 04:27 |
| Dylan____ | Well how do i give u more info when i cant pastebin it? | 04:27 |
| badbodh | carrera, install 'apt-file' , then run 'apt-file list <package name>|pastebinit" , <package name> = your lightdm packages | 04:27 |
| badbodh | there has to be a conf somewhere :) | 04:27 |
| happyface | hi, can anyone help me uninstall lubuntu-desktop? I went through lots of forums. Still nothing | 04:28 |
| Dylan____ | Sudo apt-get remove lubuntu-desktop | 04:28 |
| Dylan____ | :) | 04:28 |
| happyface | That didnt work | 04:28 |
| Dylan____ | Really? | 04:28 |
| Dylan____ | Thats strange | 04:28 |
| happyface | i still have lubuntu environment | 04:29 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | happyface make sure you reboot, and log into whatever desktop you prefer. then run sudo apt-get autoremove | 04:29 |
| Dylan____ | U should be able to uninstall lubuntu with thst | 04:29 |
| badbodh | happyface, it's a metapackage. "apt-cache info lubuntu-desktop" to see all dependencies and remove each one of them | 04:29 |
| Dylan____ | Nvm | 04:29 |
| Dylan____ | Let the experts take it | 04:29 |
| happyface | ok | 04:29 |
| carrera | badbodh: root 1063 1 0 07:54 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/lightdm | 04:30 |

| pyoor | any idea why? | 04:30 |
| Dylan____ | Cause when i looked into ubuntu like last year and cause im running a 2010 7,1 macbook im had trouble deciding what distro to go | 04:30 |
| badbodh | carrera, i need the whole list of files installed. gimme pastebinit link, you can type it here | 04:31 |
| Dylan____ | But i went with xubuntu and i wanna make it so lighteeight | 04:31 |
| === msjche is now known as msjche_away | ||
| nicomachus | pyoor: did you try to reboot? | 04:31 |
| pyoor | nicomachus: yes. I've had this issue before and logging in/out or a reboot would usually solve it | 04:32 |
| pyoor | this time however, it won't | 04:32 |
| carrera | badbodh, ok | 04:33 |
| carrera | badbodh, when I restart, it says starting lightdm | 04:33 |

| === stephen is now known as Guest40999 | ||
| badbodh | happyface, sorry not 'info' , it's 'show' :) | 04:35 |
| j1nx_ | anyone here know if there are Razor keyboard/mouse drivers for ubuntu? | 04:35 |
| badbodh | carrera, i'll need a list of all files lightdm (and other lightdm-related packages) have installed on your system. i'm not on ubuntu so can;t say exactly which file to edit. | 04:37 |
| happyface | SeriouslyLaugh: badbodh: is there anyway i can get my terminal back. After i installed lxde, terminal is full black. I cant see anything | 04:38 |
| badbodh | you did net-install you say, you should be remembering package names. gimme results of "apt-file list <package name>|pastebinit" , if you don;t have 'pastebinit' and 'apt-file' installed please do so. very handy tools. | 04:38 |
| badbodh | gimme all lightdm and related package's (greeters) file list ^ by that method | 04:39 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | i'm sure there's a config file for the terminal somewhere. not really sure. | 04:39 |
| badbodh | happyface, what terminal are you using ? | 04:39 |
| kadiro | .bashrc | 04:39 |
| badbodh | kadiro, nope! | 04:40 |
| kadiro | yes | 04:40 |
| happyface | the default one. badbodh. | 04:40 |
| pmaxk | ~/bashrc in ubuntu | 04:40 |
| kadiro | :)) | 04:40 |
| happyface | badbodh: Now whenever i want to type a command i go to tty1 | 04:41 |
| badbodh | happyface, which ubuntu flavour are you on? each uses a diff terminal by default | 04:41 |
| happyface | ubuntu 14.04 badbodh | 04:41 |
| badbodh | unity? | 04:42 |
| carrera | badbodh, apt-file is updating | 04:42 |
| zykotick9 | happyface: doesn't lxde's terminal have a menu for settings? if not look, see if you have a ~/.Xresources and perhaps move it to .Xresource.back (it's NOT ~/.bashrc) | 04:42 |
| happyface | badbodh: I want pure unity back. Now it is mixed with lxde buttons and display | 04:42 |
| badbodh | maybe you should do a fresh install and stick to a single desktop environment for now. learn stuff, find your way around ubuntu. | 04:43 |
| badbodh | running multiple desktops is a dirty business, hard to remove and tricky to share configs between two DE-s | 04:44 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | can't he just log out and log back into a unity session? | 04:44 |
| badbodh | if you want lxde , use lubuntu | 04:44 |
| happyface | SeriouslyLaugh: badbodh: I dont want lxde anymore, i want plane old ubuntu with my files and my programs | 04:45 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | happyface i think you can log out, and before typing your passord before logging in again, pick a different session | 04:46 |
| kadiro | o.o | 04:46 |
| happyface | zykotick9: I didnt understand. | 04:46 |
| badbodh | happyface, best bet, create a new user account and migrate your files to new account's home folder | 04:46 |
| pmaxk | happyface, old ubuntu ith unity? | 04:46 |
| badbodh | just don;t copy the hidden (starts with .dot) files | 04:46 |
| happyface | SeriouslyLaugh: Yeah i can do that. But my unity is compromised. It has weird display after i installed lubuntu-desktop | 04:46 |
| happyface | pmaxk: I mean the inbuilt one | 04:47 |
| happyface | pmaxk: 14.04 | 04:47 |
| carrera | badbodh, please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/14001538/ | 04:47 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | happyface you can probably drop into a shell and reinstall Unity | 04:47 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | and purge the other DE | 04:48 |
| pmaxk | happyface, http://askubuntu.com/questions/453841/how-to-remove-lubuntu-desktop-from-ubuntu-14-04-lts | 04:48 |
| kadiro | any official vdr channel in freenode server? | 04:48 |
| badbodh | carrera, two files worth looking at. /etc/init/lightdm.conf and /etc/lightdm/users.conf , run "cat <file>|pastebinit" | 04:49 |
| happyface | SeriouslyLaugh: How do i do that? | 04:50 |
| happyface | pmaxk: tried it already. Did not work. | 04:50 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | happyface ctrl+alt+f3 to drop into a shell. then run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 04:50 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | happyface define did not work -- did you get errors? | 04:51 |
| badbodh | happyface, scroll down in pmaxk's link, read the "dirty" reply with lots of info. that's how tedious it is to remove a metapackage :) | 04:51 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | might be easier to nuke and pave | 04:51 |
| pmaxk | yes ,you have metapakages,that is your problem | 04:52 |
| happyface | SeriouslyLaugh: when i entered whereis lxde, it gave the output lxde: | 04:53 |
| happyface | SeriouslyLaugh: when i entered whereis lxde, it gave the output as "lxde: " | 04:53 |
| regedit | is there a graphical tool that manages /usr/share/autostart/ ? | 04:53 |
| SeriouslyLaugh | happyface i've not done this so i can't really offer much help aside from googling possible solutions for you | 04:53 |
| badbodh | carrera, also /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf and /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.d/01_ubuntu.conf , these four files have all the stuff i need. cat them with |pastebinit | 04:54 |

| regedit | badbodh: thanks! | 05:06 |
| badbodh | carrera, you have an awful lot of greeters installed. and i can;t even find the conf file that declares which greeter you are using. i hate ubuntu :P | 05:07 |
| carrera | badbodh, damn | 05:08 |
| carrera | badbodh, I compared the last 3 greeter files to my working laptop, also runing 15.10 and they were all the same | 05:08 |
| badbodh | carrera, wise thing will be installing from a regular ubuntu-mate iso, and compare the files i mentioned above. | 05:08 |
| carrera | badbodh, I can't. The bloody nouveau driver crashes the installation | 05:09 |
| carrera | badbodh, also I need to do a Netinstall, cause Ubuntu stopped including dmraid in their desktop cds since 12.04 | 05:10 |
| carrera | badbodh, I dunno why they don't put dmraid and proper nvidia drivers in their desktop CDs, cause the size is already above 1.1 GB, so we need a DVD to burn it on anyway | 05:11 |
| badbodh | carrera, i saw kde mythbuntu and some other greeter packages. did you install those manually or got autoinstalled ? | 05:12 |
| carrera | badbodh, I reinstalled lightdm before I sent patebin the contents and, obviously, that didn't help either | 05:12 |
| carrera | badbodh, auto, this is a totally fresh install, expect apt-file and pastebinit | 05:12 |
| badbodh | carrera, ok whatever greeter you;re on,any way to choose a session ? a button or something | 05:13 |
| badbodh | what sessions are available ? | 05:14 |
| carrera | badbodh, I just tried logging in with the Guest Session to no avail | 05:14 |
| carrera | badbodh, Mine, Session, and Other | 05:14 |
| badbodh | that's guest account. by session i mean desktop environment. like are you logging into mate, unity or what ? | 05:14 |
| carrera | badbodh, just MATE | 05:14 |
| badbodh | anything other than mate available at login screen ? | 05:15 |
| carrera | badbodh, there is a setting wheel botton on the top right of the screen but it does not open anything! | 05:15 |
| carrera | badbodh, nope, I only installed MATE | 05:15 |
| carrera | badbodh, same as my older laptop | 05:16 |
| badbodh | but does your login screen let you "select mate" ? | 05:16 |
| carrera | badbodh, could some sort of meta key be on? | 05:16 |
| badbodh | no keys, only clickety click needed. | 05:17 |
| pmaxk | carrera, go to cd /usr/share/xsessions , and see what you have | 05:17 |
| adun153 | Hello everyone, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 15.04 on an MSI 6QD Apache Pro (NVidia 960m), and the installer doesn't boot properly. Seems like there's a nouveau problem,with lines like "failed to load", and "unsupported engines" "failed to create kernel channel", etc. Last recurring line is "NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 23s! [plymouthd:260]" | 05:17 |
| carrera | pmaxk, just mate.desktop | 05:17 |
| adun153 | How can I solve this? Looks like nouveau doesn't support the 960m. | 05:18 |
| carrera | adun153, good luck! | 05:18 |
| adun153 | Is there a way to force the installer to use the on-board Intel Graphics? | 05:18 |
| badbodh | pmaxk, very likely his lightdm is improperly configured. but for the life of me i can;t find the specific file that handles which greeter/ which session to set as default :/ | 05:18 |
| badbodh | usually it's /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | 05:19 |
| carrera | adun153, one way is to use the NetInstall (mini.iso) and then install the latest nvidia drivers after the installation (apt-get install nvidia-352-updates) | 05:20 |
| carrera | adun153, nvidia-352 is the long lived branch which is included in the ubuntu repositories, so all you have to do is run the above command | 05:21 |
| carrera | adun153, of course, your system will not boot into GUI either, so you will have to use ctl+alt+F1 to access a shell | 05:22 |
| adun153 | Is there a boot parameter I can pass to the dasktop installer, to force it to use the Intel graphics? | 05:22 |
| carrera | adun153, be patient as it might take some time to get to tty1 | 05:22 |
| adun153 | *desktop | 05:22 |
| carrera | adun153, due to all the error message that the bloody nouveau driver is dumping | 05:23 |
| pmaxk | badbodh, the file is /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-ubuntu.conf | 05:23 |
| carrera | adun153, I don't know man | 05:23 |
| carrera | adun153, it might be better to try to run the desktop installer in text mode, if that's possible | 05:24 |
| badbodh | carrera, adun153 it is possible blacklist nuovoeueoueou drivers in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and 'nomodeset' in /etc/default/grub to stop nuvooeueoueou driver | 05:24 |
| adun153 | yeah, that's what I was thinking. | 05:24 |
| badbodh | https://askubuntu.com/questions/112302/how-do-i-disable-the-nouveau-kernel-driver#112306 | 05:24 |
| carrera | adun153, regardless of the way you install ubuntu, you have to install the nvidia-352-updates package on your system after the installation completes | 05:25 |
| adun153 | carrera, will do, thanks. | 05:25 |
| Hitechcg | nuvooeueoueou | 05:25 |
| carrera | :-) | 05:25 |

| carrera | badbodh, join the club, every time I wanna type nouveau here, I google it cause I don't wanna look any more stupid than I already do | 05:26 |
| carrera | badbodh, I was looking at it. most config variables are set to "mate" | 05:27 |
| badbodh | ok. then why doesn;t it mate then .... | 05:27 |
| carrera | just a sec | 05:28 |
| badbodh | is it supposed to be 'ubuntu-mate' ? | 05:28 |
| carrera | badbodh, pmaxk , I was looking on my old laptop! | 05:28 |
| carrera | badbodh, pmaxk, /usr/share/xsessions does NOT even exist on my new laptop! | 05:29 |
| badbodh | well, there you have it. | 05:29 |
| badbodh | did you install mate using some metapackage? | 05:29 |
| badbodh | looks like you missed mate-session-manager or something | 05:30 |
| carrera | badbodh, pmaxk, I just ticked the MATE Desktop package in the mini.iso installation | 05:30 |
| carrera | badbodh, pmaxk, like I always do | 05:30 |
| pmaxk | carrera, honestly you confuse me.. | 05:31 |
| badbodh | re-install mate packages, ones that say mate-desktop, mate-session or similar | 05:32 |
| carrera | pmaxk, really? | 05:32 |
| pmaxk | yes sory | 05:32 |
| badbodh | moments ago you said you had "<carrera> pmaxk, just mate.desktop" , now you say you don;t even have /usr/share/xsession | 05:32 |
| pmaxk | yes exactly | 05:33 |
| badbodh | *xsessions | 05:33 |
| badbodh | we can;t help you from a chat room if you don;t focus buddy. | 05:33 |
| carrera | badbodh, pmaxk, you must have not read a line in between, cause I clearly said that I was looking at the wrong box, i.e. my old laptop | 05:34 |
| badbodh | nope, you started chatting with adun.. on nuveoueoe drivers | 05:34 |
| carrera | badbodh, yes I did, but I said, "I was looking at my old laptop" | 05:35 |
| carrera | badbodh, sorry for trying to help someone for once | 05:35 |
| carrera | <carrera> badbodh, pmaxk , I was looking on my old laptop! | 05:36 |
| badbodh | you did that now, should have done that the moment you said "i have .....desktop" , you gave half info :/ | 05:36 |
| carrera | followed by (and no chatting with anyone in between) | 05:36 |
| carrera | carrera> badbodh, pmaxk, /usr/share/xsessions does NOT even exist on my new laptop! | 05:36 |
| badbodh | ok buddy we all have scrollback on our client. you have 10 minutes gap between "i have mate.desktop" and "i was looking at old laptop" | 05:37 |

| carrera | badbodh, that's right | 05:38 |
| badbodh | please be prompt and concise when you provide info. that's all i'm saying. there's no hate here. | 05:38 |
| carrera | badbodh, pmaxk, I created /usr/share/xsessions and copied mate.desktop to it | 05:39 |
| badbodh | so you got no xsessions folder, means you got package missing. re-install everything that relates to mate | 05:39 |
| carrera | badbodh, pmaxk, again to no avail! :-( | 05:39 |
| carrera | badbodh, the first thing I did was to reinstall ubuntu-mate-dektop | 05:40 |
| badbodh | that's just a metapackage. it does nothing. | 05:41 |
| carrera | badbodh, oh | 05:41 |
| badbodh | run "apt-cache show ubuntu-mate-desktop" and see dependencies, those are the things you will be re-installing | 05:41 |
| DirtyCajun | can i install ubuntu server to a usb so i can switch os whneever if i choose? | 05:41 |
| carrera | Bad_Dream, doesn't it reinstall it's dependencies? | 05:42 |

| bobdobbs` | When I select a new background image using the system settings, no background image appears. | 05:43 |
| badbodh | carrera, ^ got disconnected | 05:43 |
| carrera | badbodh, ubuntu-mate-desktop has too many dependencies | 05:44 |
| pmaxk | carrera, carrera run in terminal > sudo apt-get install -sy ubuntu-mate-desktop to see without install everythink.. | 05:44 |
| carrera | badbodh, can I do a apt-file -f /usr/share/xsessions/mate.desktop to see which package it belongs to | 05:45 |
| Chuddette | tried to use the command "deb" but "no command 'deb' was found" can i use xdeb in its place? | 05:45 |
| badbodh | focus on packages that say "desktop" or "Session" | 05:45 |
| badbodh | carrera, you may still be missing out on something else. better to re-install all the packages that say ^ those things. | 05:46 |
| carrera | pmaxk, badbodh, I ran apt-get install -sy ubuntu-mate-desktop. | 05:46 |
| pmaxk | sudo | 05:46 |
| carrera | pmaxk, I'm root already sir | 05:46 |
| pmaxk | ok | 05:46 |
| carrera | pmaxk, ubuntu-mate-desktop is already the newest version. | 05:46 |
| carrera | pmaxk, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 05:47 |
| badbodh | pmaxk, a metapackage will just re-install itself, doesn;t affect any deps. | 05:47 |
| zykotick9 | Chuddette: what are you trying to do? | 05:47 |
| badbodh | we need to re-install deps. | 05:47 |
| pmaxk | ok now what else? | 05:47 |
| badbodh | Chuddette, "dpkg" handles deb files, not "deb" | 05:47 |
| pmaxk | carrera | 05:47 |
| carrera | badbodh, pmaxk, I just found policykit-desktop-privileges in the ubuntu-mate-desktop dependencies | 05:50 |

| carrera | badbodh, pmaxk, I'm on a pay-by-usage line | 05:59 |
| badbodh | carrera, plan before you netinstall. if your graphics gives troubles use nomodeset and blacklist (askbuntu link i shared earlier) | 06:00 |
| carrera | badbodh, what about RAID0? | 06:01 |
| carrera | badbodh, I managed to install mdadm from the Live session but I couldn't install GRUB | 06:01 |

| carrera | badbodh, pmaxk, I reinstalled everything in ubuntu-mate-desktop to NO AVAIL!!! :( | 06:08 |
| badbodh | carrera, use lxdm instead of lightdm (should ask for default dm during install) | 06:10 |
| badbodh | reboot and check | 06:10 |

| badbodh | happyface, no need to reinstall anything. your configs are messed up (in your home folder) . create a new user account and copy your documents/pictures etc into the new account;s home folder | 06:26 |
| Hitechcg | yeah, do "rm -rf --no-preserve-root" | 06:27 |
| * Hitechcg runs | 06:27 | |
| Hitechcg | no, really, don't do that | 06:27 |

| badbodh | happyface, i just told you how ^^ to clean up, everything will go back to default. | 06:29 |
| badbodh | better to start fresh than hunting down which config is messed up. i've myself had troubles with lxde in the past, playing with it blindly messed up by primary DE | 06:30 |

| happyface | badbodh: you were right. But still i am not getting the programs i had in my old account | 06:37 |
| Guest75484 | as I edited the file /etc/default/grub | 06:37 |
| Guest75484 | I can change the time for which grub menu holds from 10 sec to 30 | 06:37 |
| Guest75484 | but images isn't changing | 06:38 |
| Guest75484 | I added the line GRUB_BACKGROUND="path" | 06:38 |
| Guest75484 | but there is some sort of priority I guess, that images isn't loading | 06:38 |
| badbodh | happyface, in your old home look for ~/.local/share/applications/*.desktop | 06:38 |
| Guest75484 | help me out plz | 06:38 |
| carrera | badbodh, I have never had any problems with NetInstall in the past | 06:38 |

| badbodh | carrera, i'd suggest to start from scratch again. and don;t use meta-packages without verifying what's getting installed. | 06:40 |
| badbodh | using metapackages kinda defeats the purpose of netinstall :D | 06:40 |
| badbodh | happyface, copy/paste the .desktop files in your new home's .local/share/applications/ | 06:41 |

| TurBoss | I have a strange problem in gnome terminal, it types comas instead of dots | 10:44 |
| gustav1234x | TurBoss: When you’re doing what? | 10:44 |
| TurBoss | when I tipe a dot | 10:44 |
| TurBoss | in the numerical keyboard it places a coma | 10:45 |
| gustav1234x | TurBoss: Is your keyboard setup correctly? | 10:45 |
| TurBoss | hmmm... checking | 10:45 |
| sara2010 | gustav1234x: help me ? | 10:46 |
| gustav1234x | sara2010: I didn’t see your problem. | 10:46 |
| sara2010 | gustav1234x: i m trying to install hp scanjet 200 | 10:46 |
| sara2010 | gustav1234x: but its not working ! | 10:47 |
| gustav1234x | sara2010: What version of Ubuntu? | 10:47 |
| sara2010 | 12.04 | 10:48 |
| sara2010 | ubuntu 12.04 | 10:48 |
| gustav1234x | sara2010: Seems like it can’t be used in Ubuntu. | 10:48 |
| sara2010 | :( | 10:48 |
| sara2010 | which version should be work | 10:48 |
| gustav1234x | sara2010: Other than maybe via virtualization. | 10:48 |
| gustav1234x | sara2010: Not sure what that means. | 10:49 |
| hateball | sara2010: It's not supported by hplip at all, that is the drivers from HP for their things | 10:49 |
| TurBoss | sara2010 check http://www.openprinting.org/printers | 10:50 |
| TurBoss | gustav1234x my keyboard layout is ok | 10:50 |
| sara2010 | TurBoss: i need to install scanner ! | 10:50 |
| TurBoss | I can print ññ | 10:50 |
| TurBoss | I mean i can type ñ | 10:51 |
| gustav1234x | TurBoss: Do you have the same problem in say LibreOffice? | 10:51 |
| TurBoss | no | 10:51 |
| TurBoss | only on gnome-terminal | 10:51 |
| lucas2 | What are the benefits, if any, of booting ubuntu on EFI rather than Legacy mode (BIOS style)? | 10:52 |
| gustav1234x | TurBoss: Have you tried a different shell? | 10:52 |
| gustav1234x | Sorry. Lunch. | 10:52 |
| TurBoss | gustav1234x xtrem works fine | 10:52 |
| TurBoss | ok | 10:53 |
| fr0st | hi | 10:53 |
| sara2010 | gustav1234x: its possible installed with wine ? | 11:01 |
| sara2010 | hateball: its possible installed with wine ? | 11:01 |
| Tk-421 | Hello | 11:01 |
| Yehai | hello | 11:04 |
| Yehai | ? | 11:05 |
| ikonia | hi there | 11:05 |
| lucas2 | Hello, what are the benefits, if any, of booting ubuntu on EFI rather than Legacy mode (BIOS style)? | 11:05 |
| Yehai | ubuntu work with 1g mem? | 11:05 |
| sara2010 | its possible to install hp scanjet 200 with wine ? | 11:06 |
| ikonia | Yehai: yes | 11:07 |
| EriC^^ | lucas2: more modern and faster booting ( just a little ) | 11:07 |
| ikonia | sara2010: not somethine I'd recommend | 11:07 |
| ikonia | sara2010: the native linux cups drivers should work with almost every HP priner without wine | 11:07 |
| EriC^^ | lucas2: also if you install a new os it doesn't replace the bootloader of the first os, it just adds its efi file | 11:07 |
| Yehai | sara2010: a printer? | 11:07 |
| Tk-421 | In the terminal I'm getting something that says Invalid entry length (0). DMI table is broken! Stop. | 11:09 |
| Tk-421 | Is this a bad thing? | 11:09 |
| YamakasY | can I start a script after a cronjob, backup , has finished ? | 11:09 |
| ikonia | YamakasY: just put the script in the end of the script that launches the backup | 11:10 |
| ikonia | so it executes when the backup is completed | 11:10 |
| YamakasY | ikonia: yeah, but it's a xtrabackup so I need to script that in script, not nice | 11:11 |
| sara2010 | ikonia: its hp scnajet usb scanner | 11:11 |
| ikonia | YamakasY: a script being called from a script is fine, so it putting the commands in the initial script | 11:11 |
| ikonia | sara2010: should still work, %99.9 do | 11:11 |
| sara2010 | ikonia: its not working . with ubuntu 12.04 | 11:11 |
| ikonia | you'll have to explain a bit better than "not working" | 11:12 |
| sara2010 | ikonia: i have installed hplip and xsane , its says no scanner | 11:13 |
| YamakasY | ikonia: yeah but not for my puppet way | 11:14 |
| ikonia | YamakasY: it works fine with puppet | 11:14 |
| hateball | ikonia, sara2010 the scanjet 200 is not supported by hplip, not any other flatbed scanners either | 11:14 |
| ikonia | hateball: thank you for doing the leg work | 11:14 |
| hateball | most HP MFP printers are however supported | 11:14 |
| hateball | sara2010: I doubt you could get it working using wine either | 11:15 |
| YamakasY | ikonia: nah I need to write extra manifests instead of puppeting both crons in simply | 11:15 |
| ikonia | YamakasY: do it however you feel best then | 11:15 |
| hateball | sara2010: The Sane project supports lots of HP flatbed scanners, however the 200 seems to be one that it does not | 11:15 |
| sara2010 | hateball: so how it will work ? | 11:16 |
| YamakasY | ikonia: sure I will | 11:16 |
| hateball | sara2010: It wont. | 11:16 |
| ikonia | hateball: appreciate the leg work | 11:17 |
| hateball | ikonia: I am not sure if you are being sarcastic or not | 11:17 |
| ikonia | hateball: far from it, saved a lot of time researching | 11:18 |
| hateball | :) | 11:18 |
| hateball | sara2010: If your funds allow for it, I would look up a new MFP that is supported according to http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/supported_devices/index.html | 11:18 |
| hateball | I can't find any good resource for what Sane supports, if you want a pure flatbed scanner | 11:20 |
| MrElendig | get a epson v600 or similar | 11:23 |

| cfhowlett | carrera, Ms. Cleo could, but she's retired. for the rest of use, you have to actually provide DETAILS | 11:38 |
| alumno_ | d | 11:38 |
| cfhowlett | alumno_, don't be a jerk | 11:38 |
| carrera | cfhowlett, Hi :) | 11:38 |
| cfhowlett | carrera, greetings. > details >>> answers | 11:38 |
| GladiaTeur | hi how to prevent this ssh login attempt's a part of log "auth.log" https://dpaste.de/0etg/raw | 11:39 |
| cfhowlett | !details | carrera | 11:39 |
| ubottu | carrera: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) | 11:39 |
| carrera | I used the NetInstall, picked the MATE desktop and SSH server in the options and configured my 2 SSDs in RAID 0 | 11:39 |
| carrera | I can log in from tty1 and I can also ssh in | 11:39 |
| carrera | but I can't login from LightDM on tty7 | 11:40 |
| cfhowlett | GladiaTeur, you could block the IP in ufw | 11:40 |
| carrera | I reinstalled every package in the ubuntu-mate-desktop to no avail | 11:40 |
| GladiaTeur | cfhowlett all the ip's and what is ufw ? and how to do that in which file | 11:40 |
| cfhowlett | !ufw | GladiaTeur | 11:41 |
| ubottu | GladiaTeur: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as gufw and ufw-kde also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 11:41 |
| carrera | hardware is a new Asus G751 gaming laptop with a GeForce 860m video card | 11:41 |
| carrera | I have installed the nvidia-351-updates package from the ubuntu repositories | 11:41 |
| carrera | *nvidia-352-updates | 11:41 |
| GladiaTeur | cfhowlett ok let me check tnx | 11:42 |
| carrera | nvidia-352 is the latest long-term branch of the drivers | 11:42 |
| carrera | cfhowlett, was that enough details | 11:44 |
| cfhowlett | carrera, yes. patience. ask again in 15 minutes. this one is over my head. | 11:45 |
| ikonia | carrera: do you get a light dm login window presented to you ? | 11:46 |
| carrera | yes, I do | 11:46 |
| ikonia | and you fail to auth when you try to login | 11:47 |
| carrera | as usual I didn't with the nouveau drivers | 11:47 |
| carrera | but when I installed the nvidia drivers it boots nicely to the LightDM login page | 11:47 |
| ikonia | and you fail to auth when you try to login | 11:47 |
| carrera | just like my older laptop, also running Ubuntu MATE 15.10 | 11:47 |
| ikonia | ok - I'm bored now | 11:47 |
| ikonia | good luck | 11:48 |
| carrera | ikonia, yes I fail with "Failed to start session" message | 11:48 |

| carrera | hateball, Xsession: X session started for carrera at Mon.... localuser: carrera being added to access control list | 11:56 |
| ralpheeee | hi guys o/....installed ubuntu core with i3wm...can some one poinnt be in the direction for rendering issues with chrome and fn keys not working... | 11:57 |
| carrera | I installed Ubuntu MATE 15.04 on my older laptop with exactly the same way with no problems | 11:57 |
| carrera | then I upgraded to 15.10 with no problems | 11:57 |
| carrera | ikonia, are you referring to me? | 11:58 |
| hateball | carrera: are you able to start any other DE session? | 12:00 |
| hateball | if you have Unity or KDE Plasma or some such available | 12:00 |
| carrera | hateball, I did not install any other DEs | 12:01 |
| carrera | hateball, but I reinstalled all the dependencies of ubuntu-mate-desktop, to no avail | 12:01 |
| Reventlov | Yosh. | 12:01 |
| Reventlov | Trying to install ubuntu 15.10 on an acer E15 with a gtx 920m. The liveusb is fine, I can boot to grub (UEFI computer), still, when I try to boot to the install menu, I get a black screen (nothing, not even a blinking cursor). | 12:02 |
| Reventlov | I tried a various combination of options on the linux line: nomodeset, nolapic, acpi=off, it doesn't change anything. | 12:03 |
| Reventlov | Any idea ? | 12:03 |
| carrera | ikonia, weren't you the guy who told me I can't boot the mini.iso? | 12:06 |
| Reventlov | Same problem with 14.04 | 12:07 |
| carrera | ikonia, all I had to do was turn on BIOS Compatibility Module | 12:07 |
| carrera | ikonia, who can't be bothered to work through a problem man??? | 12:07 |
| carrera | ikonia, you don't know what you're talking about | 12:07 |
| ikonia | I couldn't be bothered, as I said | 12:08 |
| carrera | then shut up | 12:08 |
| GladiaTeur | cfhowlett sudo ufw deny from "ip" like this right? | 12:08 |
| ikonia | drop the attitude carrera | 12:08 |
| pmaxk | Reventlov: graphic card? | 12:08 |
| Reventlov | pmaxk: 920m, nvidia geforce | 12:08 |
| GladiaTeur | if i want to deny ssh connections to port 22 using ufw, sudo ufw deny from "ip" or not ? | 12:09 |
| === cpaelzer_afk is now known as cpaelzer | ||
| Reventlov | pmaxk: it seems it boot, btw, just i can't see anything | 12:11 |
| hateball | Reventlov: Do you not get any display on tty1 either? With nomodeset you should be able to get a console and install the 355 driver from ppa | 12:12 |
| Reventlov | hateball: no tty1 display | 12:13 |
| Reventlov | the same black screen | 12:14 |
| pmaxk | Reventlov: how did you install ubuntu? | 12:15 |
| Reventlov | i didn't install ubuntu. | 12:15 |
| Reventlov | 2015-12-14-13:02:34 < Reventlov> Trying to install ubuntu 15.10 | 12:15 |
| pmaxk | Reventlov: from live usb ? | 12:16 |
| Reventlov | yes. | 12:16 |
| Reventlov | as i said, i can boot to grub, but nothing after. | 12:17 |
| Reventlov | tried with 15.10, 14.04, and the live works on another machine, so i do not think it's the live which is the issue | 12:17 |
| pmaxk | Reventlov: so you see the initial menu for options not grub.. | 12:19 |
| Reventlov | pmaxk: the inital menu for booting is a grub | 12:19 |
| Reventlov | >GNU GRUB version 2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1.3 | 12:20 |
| Reventlov | for example. | 12:20 |
| Reventlov | As i said, it's an uefi system. | 12:20 |
| pmaxk | Reventlov: with what app you make the live usb? | 12:20 |
| Reventlov | with dd. | 12:20 |
| pmaxk | Reventlov: i think you have to try another | 12:21 |
| pmaxk | Reventlov: like unetbooting or rufus in win | 12:22 |
| Reventlov | pmaxk: i think i don't have to. | 12:24 |
| Reventlov | If someone | 12:24 |
| pmaxk | Reventlov: may i ask the dd command you use? | 12:25 |
| Reventlov | dd if=foo.iso of=/dev/sdX | 12:25 |
| loren | I'm probably in a wrong channel, but I'll ask anyway. How do I change my Apache web server root directory? | 12:29 |
| Mathisen | loren, You need to change the DocumentRoot setting in your httpd.conf .. most likley >> /etc/apache2/conf/httpd.conf | 12:30 |
| loren | there's no conf directory in /etc/apache2 | 12:31 |
| Mathisen | loren, 1. sudo updatedb 2. locate httpd.conf | 12:31 |
| loren | thanks, Mathisen | 12:31 |
| daftykins | loren: nah it's not called httpd.conf in apache2 on ubuntu... you're more likely after editing /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-000.conf | 12:33 |
| loren | $ locate conf.d | grep "apache" gives me /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d is that the right config file? | 12:33 |
| daftykins | oops 000-default.conf | 12:34 |
| loren | oh.. | 12:34 |
| loren | locate httpd.conf only gives me ~/.rbenv/versions/2.2.3/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/rack-1.6.4/test/cgi/lighttpd.conf | 12:35 |
| loren | this isn't related to apache | 12:35 |
| daftykins | "how do i change my apache web server root" isn't related to apache? how do you figure? | 12:35 |
| loren | no, the file that locate gave me | 12:36 |
| loren | lol | 12:36 |
| daftykins | no it's not :) | 12:36 |
| daftykins | since it's in php's path | 12:36 |
| loren | yeah, that's weird | 12:36 |
| daftykins | as i say you want to edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf | 12:36 |
| daftykins | but it makes more sense to keep /var/www/html/ the default, chown it as www-data:www-data and then add your user to the www-data group; if you're after direct control of the files in the root. | 12:37 |
| loren | yeah, I'll do that, thanks | 12:37 |
| loren | seems like my user was already in www-data | 12:44 |
| somsip | loren: if you're taking this approach, worth doing chmod -R g+s /var/www too, so all log files, cache files, etc can be created okay by www-data | 12:45 |
| daftykins | but the logs are in /var/log/apache2... | 12:46 |
| somsip | daftykins: project logs, eg: /var/www/myproject/logs | 12:46 |
| === ^CJ^ is now known as ^cj^ | ||
| loren | yeah, I only got html/ in /var/www/ | 12:46 |
| somsip | loren: just a thought. If this is a local dev server anyway. You should be more picky if it's production | 12:47 |
| daftykins | picky? o0 | 12:47 |
| loren | somsip, it's just a local dev server so no big deal | 12:47 |
| andreas_ | test | 12:48 |
| somsip | daftykins: more specfic with permissions - not *everything* needs to be +w for www-data, but folders like logs and cache probably need to be | 12:48 |
| daftykins | oh ok | 12:48 |

| renka | hello... is there a good package to create an exchange server on ubuntu? | 13:13 |
| ikonia | renka: there is no such thing as an exchange server | 13:13 |
| renka | hmm? | 13:13 |
| daftykins | Reventlov: i would install from mini.iso and then get the nvidia driver on prior to installing X and the desktop | 13:13 |
| ikonia | renka: there is no such thing as an exchange server on linux | 13:14 |
| renka | how to host an exchange server else? | 13:14 |
| ikonia | renka: you host it on windows | 13:14 |
| daftykins | renka: do you mean just a normal mail server? | 13:14 |
| renka | i want to start an server where all mails, contacts, terms etc. goes and have access from any outlook | 13:15 |
| renka | for like 10 mail adresses | 13:16 |
| Reventlov | renka: use windows for that. | 13:16 |
| ikonia | renka: you need an excahnge server on windows to run an exchange solution | 13:16 |
| renka | damn | 13:16 |
| daftykins | renka: better yet, pay for office 365 or google apps, don't run it yourself. | 13:16 |
| daftykins | but that is off topic here :) | 13:16 |
| ikonia | an even better idea for 10 users | 13:17 |
| renka | i have google apps, but google apps does not support exchange | 13:17 |
| daftykins | renka: i don't think you know what exchange is since you're throwing the term around in inappropriate places. | 13:17 |
| AtuM | renka, perhaps Zarafa might be something worth looking into | 13:17 |
| ikonia | renka: office365 as daftykins said, ask the guys in ##windows | 13:17 |
| renka | thanks | 13:20 |
| Borisz | Hello everyone! I have WinXP/Xubuntu 15.10 64bit dualboot. If i used ubuntu, then the next time i boot into XP, the USB mouse (back panel) and my wifi stick (front usb panel) does not work. A reboot from xp or the reset button solves the problem. Tried to google the problem, i failed to find anything related. No clue what to do. (I tried to boot live xubuntu 14.04.3 32bit from usb, happens the same as i start win). Thanks | 13:36 |
| k1l | Borisz: do you reboot or power down and then boot again? | 13:37 |
| k1l | Borisz: could be that a total powerloss is needed to change the state the linux driver keeps the devices in. | 13:38 |
| ikonia | wasn't this a bug in some usb chipset ? | 13:38 |
| ikonia | quite an old one | 13:38 |
| lotuspsychje | Borisz: and do you have usb/bios enabled or usb/Os | 13:38 |
| k1l | ikonia: well, winxp refers to "quite old" :) | 13:39 |
| ikonia | I guess so | 13:40 |
| daftykins | shouldn't even be using XP | 13:40 |
| gleeb | daftykins, I've kept trying various things but I still can't get Ubuntu to install even after all that time. | 13:41 |
| Borisz | k1l, i reboot from win, or press reset button when its booting, i dont power down. i dont understand your second question :)) is that some setting in bios? and yes, xp (work machine, i cannot do anything about it) | 13:41 |
| daftykins | gleeb: i can't remember your issue | 13:41 |
| gleeb | daftykins, Couldn't boot or install Ubuntu 14.04 no matter what I tried, it would always hang | 13:42 |
| lotuspsychje | Borisz: yes bios has an option for usb mouse/keyboard support it can be set to Os or Bios | 13:42 |
| gleeb | With the same two issues | 13:42 |
| Borisz | kl1 motherboard asrock h81m-vg4 if that matters | 13:42 |
| daftykins | gleeb: ah, tried a DVD or other flash drive? | 13:42 |
| k1l | Borisz: try to power down and then boot to win. maybe the device keeps a state while still having power that the windows driver cant handle. so a power down is needed to make the device forget it | 13:42 |
| gleeb | daftykins, I just sourced a new flash drive | 13:42 |
| gleeb | Going to try again | 13:43 |
| gleeb | Cannot use a DVD to due the lack of a drive to read one | 13:43 |
| Borisz | kl1 Okay, I will try that, thanks. Not a big problem, it just bugs me :) | 13:43 |
| Reventlov | daftykins: I'm failing to boot to the minimal iso | 13:44 |
| gleeb | daftykins, Does the lack of "UMS support" in the Radeon module actually mean it won't work. It's a sporadic error that can pop up sometimes but it's not the main cause of the problem, as nomodeset failed to help either. | 13:44 |
| daftykins | gleeb: i answered that last time, said it likely wasn't the crux of the matter | 13:46 |
| gleeb | Yeah, I remember you did. I'm trying another pendrive today | 13:46 |
| === Dnm is now known as Guest27627 | ||
| daftykins | gleeb: what OS are you preparing it from - and with which program? | 13:47 |
| gleeb | From Windows 10, tried both Unetbootin to prepare and Rufus | 13:47 |
| gleeb | Both of which failed, although with different messages | 13:47 |
| student | muskan | 13:48 |
| gleeb | daftykins, I'll attempt to do it again on the other drive, in case it fails, I'll be back. | 13:49 |
| === michael__ is now known as Guest58511 | ||
| Reventlov | daftykins: ok, so it's not an option (the mini.iso) | 14:00 |
| Reventlov | >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. | 14:00 |
| daftykins | Reventlov: are you wanting ubuntu as the only OS, or dual boot with win10? | 14:01 |
| === Avocado_ is now known as Guest71280 | ||
| Reventlov | daftykins: well, dual booting with windows. | 14:05 |
| Reventlov | but using bios/legacy is not an option. | 14:05 |
| daftykins | Reventlov: yes, i know how it works... server would be ok to achieve the same | 14:06 |

| Reventlov | daftykins: same problem with the server iso. | 14:29 |
| lotus|xenial | Reventlov: wich graphics card chipset and ubuntu version please? | 14:30 |
| daftykins | what same problem? | 14:30 |
| daftykins | details... | 14:30 |
| Reventlov | daftykins: details: the same than the previous time. | 14:31 |
| daftykins | ok, if you're not willing to type out a complete sentence then i'm not willing to help. | 14:31 |
| Reventlov | I can access to the grub on the server livecd. Then I try to go to the install software, black screen. | 14:31 |
| daftykins | enjoy. | 14:31 |
| Reventlov | bye :) | 14:31 |
| Reventlov | So, for thoses willing (and able) to help: http://sprunge.us/ENeI | 14:32 |
| Reventlov | The minimal iso is not an option (doesn't work on uefi systems), and I tried the server livecd, I have the same problem than the one described. | 14:32 |
| lotus|xenial | Reventlov: gtx 920m is an optimus and needs nvidia-prime | 14:33 |
| lotus|xenial | Reventlov: wich driver do you have in use? | 14:33 |
| Reventlov | lotus|xenial: i'm trying to install ubuntu (as described on the paste) | 14:34 |
| Reventlov | so, nothing, right now. | 14:34 |
| Reventlov | since I cannot even get to the installation screen. | 14:34 |
| lotus|xenial | Reventlov: you dont have ubuntu installed yet? | 14:35 |
| Reventlov | lotus|xenial: indeed, as described on http://sprunge.us/ENeI | 14:35 |
| MonkeyDust | Reventlov what's on the pc right now? windows? ubuntu? something else? | 14:36 |
| Reventlov | MonkeyDust: Windows 8. | 14:36 |
| lotus|xenial | Reventlov: do you want singleboot or dualboot? | 14:36 |
| MonkeyDust | Reventlov ok, go in windows 8 and provide the requested details | 14:36 |
| Reventlov | MonkeyDust: which details ? | 14:36 |
| Reventlov | lotus|xenial: dualboot. Otherwise I would've gone with the minimal iso | 14:37 |
| lotus|xenial | !uefi | Reventlov | 14:37 |
| ubottu | Reventlov: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 14:37 |
| tomer | Hello, is anyone familiar with the `amixer` utility? I'm trying to understand what the difference between `set` and `sset` is, if any. | 14:37 |
| Reventlov | lotus|xenial: I know. | 14:37 |
| Reventlov | Why do you give me that ? | 14:37 |
| lotus|xenial | Reventlov: you need to do steps before dualboot with uefi | 14:38 |
| MonkeyDust | !info amixer | 14:38 |
| Reventlov | lotus|xenial: dual booting with uefi is not the problem. | 14:38 |
| ubottu | Package amixer does not exist in wily | 14:38 |
| Reventlov | As i said: i can boot to grub | 14:38 |
| MonkeyDust | !info amixer trusty | 14:38 |
| ubottu | Package amixer does not exist in trusty | 14:38 |
| Reventlov | just read http://sprunge.us/ENeI | 14:38 |
| lotus|xenial | Reventlov: go into live and install nvidia-prime | 14:38 |
| Reventlov | lotus|xenial: did you read my paste ? I don't think so. | 14:38 |
| lotus|xenial | Reventlov: your card is optimus and needs the right combo with the driver | 14:39 |
| Reventlov | >The liveusb is fine, I can boot to grub (UEFI computer), still, when I try to boot to the install menu, I get a black screen (nothing, not even a blinking cursor). | 14:39 |
| Reventlov | I cannot do anything if the screen is black. | 14:39 |
| lotus|xenial | Reventlov: i didnt say 'install' | 14:39 |
| lotus|xenial | Reventlov: i said try live | 14:39 |
| Reventlov | lotus|xenial: And I tried. | 14:39 |
| Reventlov | Same issue. | 14:39 |
| MonkeyDust | Reventlov try with a live usb, instead of cd/dvd | 14:40 |
| lotus|xenial | Reventlov: do you have bios options to set nvidia or intel? | 14:40 |
| Reventlov | MonkeyDust: I already use a live usb. | 14:40 |
| Reventlov | lotus|xenial: let me check, i don't think so. | 14:40 |
| lotus|xenial | Reventlov: if you have try the boot into intel only | 14:40 |
| zykotick9 | MonkeyDust: amixer is in the alsa-utils package | 14:42 |
| tomer | zykotick9: Indeed. I think `set` and `sset` might just be synonymous, but I wonder why the latter exists in the first place. | 14:43 |
| Reventlov | lotus|xenial: no, nothing. | 14:44 |
| lotus|xenial | Reventlov: you have no weird bios setting mentioning 'intel something' that could block installing other Os right? | 14:45 |
| Reventlov | no. | 14:45 |
| lotus|xenial | Reventlov: iv seen boxes before blocking that by default | 14:45 |
| Reventlov | btw it's an uefi. | 14:45 |
| lotus|xenial | Reventlov: i know you said that already | 14:45 |
| Reventlov | well then stop talking of a bios. | 14:46 |
| lotus|xenial | Reventlov: try a lubuntu liveusb | 14:47 |
| faltu | hello there | 14:49 |

| faltu | what is cp | 14:52 |
| MonkeyDust | faltu mount the device, then copy the file to it | 14:53 |
| ikonia | faltu: open the file manager and drag and drop | 14:53 |

| faltu | how to install software offline | 14:55 |
| ikonia | faltu: you have to download the packages and dependencies, it's not really how the ubuntu package manager was designed to work | 14:55 |
| ikonia | it's not something I'd suggest you look at | 14:55 |
| faltu | what command is offline installer | 14:56 |
| ikonia | it's not a command | 14:56 |
| ikonia | as I've just said | 14:56 |
| ikonia | you have to manually download the packages and dependencies (there are tools) then use the online installer pointed at those packages | 14:56 |
| faltu | what command | 14:56 |
| ikonia | it's not something I sugest you look at, it's easier to just do on line | 14:56 |
| ikonia | faltu: it's NOT a command | 14:56 |
| faltu | how to install software | 14:57 |
| faltu | > | 14:57 |

| herrkin | hello community I always bring funny problems here. | 15:02 |
| herrkin | I cant get a serial pci card to work | 15:02 |
| herrkin | its not detected by lspci | 15:02 |
| herrkin | no serial card shown | 15:03 |
| ikonia | then it's got a hardware problem | 15:03 |
| lotus|xenial | herrkin: what kind of device are we talking about? | 15:03 |
| herrkin | thats the problem I dont have the exact model, I am working on it remotely | 15:03 |
| herrkin | it had windows last week, and it was working perfectly | 15:03 |
| Reventlov | lotus|xenial: fastboot already disabled. Secure boot too. | 15:03 |
| ikonia | it has a hardware problem, if you put a card in and you can't even probe it on the bus - it's not working | 15:03 |
| herrkin | they installed ubuntu, this card doesnt show so I cant install software that comunicate via serial ports | 15:04 |
| herrkin | yes well I am not an expert on linux either | 15:04 |
| herrkin | it just doesnt say serial | 15:04 |
| herrkin | maybe it is in lspci but not as a serial card | 15:04 |
| ikonia | herrkin: it would appear to be a hardware problem | 15:04 |
| ikonia | herrkin: then look for it as something else | 15:05 |
| Reventlov | herrkin: did you try to compare the output of lspci when the card is plugged // unplugged ? | 15:05 |
| mrzhang | hi | 15:06 |
| herrkin | Reventlov, hold on a sec, I will save an lspci output | 15:07 |
| herrkin | I can't physically access the computer, its in a different city. | 15:08 |
| herrkin | but I could ask them to unplug it and see what happens | 15:08 |
| mrsam96 | hi all | 15:08 |
| herrkin | look http://termbin.com/qdh4 | 15:09 |
| ikonia | herrkin: why are you showing us this ? | 15:09 |
| herrkin | thats my lspci -vv output | 15:09 |
| ikonia | herrkin: you've not taken the card out | 15:09 |
| herrkin | yes but its good to see what it shows | 15:09 |
| herrkin | maybe you can identify something I cant | 15:09 |
| ikonia | how can we know what your card is and what it's being presented as | 15:10 |
| ikonia | you don't even know the model | 15:10 |
| ikonia | what's this device for example | 15:10 |
| ikonia | Integrated Technology Express | 15:10 |
| mrsam96 | waht can i see that my graphic card is install or not? | 15:10 |
| ikonia | mrsam96: pardon ? | 15:11 |
| fep | hehe | 15:11 |
| Reventlov | ikonia: it's a pcie to pci bridge. | 15:11 |
| ikonia | Reventlov: but what is it ? | 15:11 |
| herrkin | ok I am going to ask them to remove it and try figuring out the model so we can work better on this | 15:11 |
| Guest58511 | http://php.net/releases/5_3_0.php | 15:12 |
| mrsam96 | <ikonia>i wanna finout that my graphice driver is install or noT | 15:12 |
| Reventlov | ikonia: something to bridge pci ports to pcie ones | 15:12 |
| ikonia | mrsam96: what video card do you have ? | 15:12 |
| lotus|xenial | Reventlov: can you try booting with quiet splash off "" so we can see errors whats going on? | 15:12 |
| ikonia | Reventlov: I know what it does I'm using it to show that we cannot identify brand/make/model form a blind lspci output, any more than he can | 15:13 |
| mrsam96 | ikonia : AMD..Radeon | 15:13 |
| Reventlov | lotus|xenial: let's try. Which iso do you prefer ? The server one, the lubuntu one, the desktop one ? | 15:13 |
| lotus|xenial | Reventlov: lets try desktop with quirt splash of | 15:13 |
| ikonia | mrsam96: so you need to look at what version of the ati drivers support that card, and then look at the xorg log to see if it's using them (or know if you've manually installed them) | 15:13 |
| mrsam96 | <ikonia>im freshs user here...i installing ubuntu now...so what can i do for understand it...plz say simply tnx | 15:14 |
| ikonia | mrsam96: is your video display working ? | 15:15 |

| tomer | mrsam96: Do you have an image on your screen, can you see Ubuntu? | 15:15 |
| ikonia | mrsam96: is your gui working - do you have a gui | 15:16 |
| mrsam96 | yeah | 15:16 |
| Reventlov | lotus|xenial: replacing quiet splash with nosplash ? | 15:16 |
| mrsam96 | <ikonia>yeah | 15:16 |
| ikonia | mrsam96: ok - so I suggest if you are new radig https://help.ubuntu.com | 15:16 |
| dcope | is there a way to VNC to a ubuntu 12.04 machine with no display plugged in *without* buying a fake dongle? | 15:16 |
| Reventlov | or just deleting it ? | 15:16 |
| lotus|xenial | Reventlov: no just wipe quiet splash to empty yes | 15:16 |
| ikonia | mrsam96: that is a good introduction to ubuntu for a new user and includes things like setting up your desktop and graphics | 15:16 |
| mrsam96 | <ikonia>so how can i install kDE without any buG? | 15:16 |
| mrsam96 | <ikonia>tnx :) | 15:16 |
| ikonia | mrsam96: are you using kubuntu ? | 15:16 |
| Reventlov | done. And nothing shows. | 15:17 |
| mrsam96 | <ikonia>no use ubuntu 15.10 | 15:17 |
| ikonia | mrsam96: use kubuntu if you want to use kde | 15:17 |
| ikonia | mrsam96: it is the best approach | 15:17 |
| Reventlov | let's try lubuntu, I finished downloading it. | 15:17 |
| mrsam96 | so if wanna use kdE her what can i do? | 15:17 |
| ikonia | install kubuntu | 15:17 |
| ikonia | that is the best choice | 15:18 |
| mrsam96 | i dont like download it again D: | 15:18 |
| ikonia | you'll have to download KDE anyway | 15:18 |
| ikonia | so just download kubuntu | 15:18 |
| ikonia | kubuntu | 15:18 |
| mrsam96 | :\ | 15:18 |
| mrsam96 | kubuntu looklike ubuntu? | 15:18 |
| ikonia | no | 15:18 |
| ikonia | it looks like a kde desktop | 15:18 |
| Reventlov | but under the hood, it's the same. | 15:18 |
| mrsam96 | do u have link from the lastet kubuntu? | 15:18 |
| tomer | mrsam96: It's the best choice in the long term. Just try a live-CD to figure out if you like KDE. | 15:18 |
| ikonia | kubuntu.com | 15:18 |
| mrsam96 | <tomer> huum tnx .. can i use whit it look like ubuntu? | 15:19 |
| mrsam96 | <ikonia>tnx :) | 15:19 |
| ikonia | mrsam96: no | 15:19 |
| Reventlov | lotus|xenial: same problem with lubuntu. | 15:19 |
| ikonia | mrsam96: unity looks different | 15:20 |
| mrsam96 | <ikonia my mean is that ubuntu is base of debian...is kubunto too? | 15:20 |
| lotus|xenial | Reventlov: must be something uefi mate, makes no sense so many Os refuse to boot | 15:20 |
| tomer | mrsam96: Yes, same base. | 15:20 |
| ikonia | mrsam96: kubuntu/ubuntu exactly the same distribution, different desktops | 15:21 |
| mrsam96 | tnx :) | 15:21 |
| tomer | mrsam96: Try a Live-CD, then you don't need to decide right away if you want to keep your current Ubuntu installation. You may not prefer KDE in the end :) | 15:22 |
| tomer | ah n/m he left | 15:22 |

| faltu | how to run android game | 15:23 |
| Reventlov | lotus|xenial: maybe i have to enable the secureboot and manually whitelist the ubuntu efi file. | 15:24 |
| nicomachus | faltu: you'll have to use an android emulator | 15:24 |
| Reventlov | Maybe the « disabled secureboot » is a lie. | 15:24 |
| lotus|xenial | Reventlov: ok can you please try with secureboot and fastboot off | 15:25 |
| faltu | please tell how to setup android emulator | 15:25 |
| illpass | I installed ubuntu onto a USB HDD, and I told the installer to put the boot load there, but now I cant boot windows normally | 15:25 |
| Reventlov | lotus|xenial: it's what I tried from the beginning. I'll try doing that with secureboot enabled and ubuntu whitelisted | 15:26 |
| faltu | nicomachus:please tell me how to add android emuletor | 15:27 |
| tomer | illpass: That shouldn't have happened. Can you maybe repair the Windows boot loader via Windows boot media? | 15:27 |
| schnartz | exit | 15:27 |
| illpass | tomer: I'll try that thanks. Can I report this bug somewhere? | 15:29 |
| illpass | I can remember ubuntu installer breaking my windows boot loader when I tell it not to when I used ubuntu before | 15:30 |
| tomer | illpass: No idea about bug reports, I'm sure someone else does. I have W10 and Xubuntu in the same system, both UEFI and they didn't have any conflicts. | 15:30 |

| Pici | researcher123: ruby, JS, etc, etc. | 15:42 |

| nicomachus | CryptoSiD: yea, because 16.04 isn't out yet. A lot of repos/ppas aren't caught up yet. you can either use a stable version of ubuntu or wait until the dev has released xenial versions of the package. this is a risk you take when using experimental builds. | 15:49 |
| ekman | hello | 15:50 |
| CryptoSiD | ok well i'll wait, no worries im already on last openvpn version anyway, thanks guys | 15:50 |
| ekman | i wat learn linux OS where should i start | 15:50 |
| ekman | i want... | 15:50 |
| zrneely | Does anyone know what could be causing that? My bashrc executes export $(dbus-launch) when tmux starts already. | 15:50 |
| daftykins | ekman: edx.org has a good LFS101x intro course | 15:51 |
| ekman | are there any people can help to me ? | 15:51 |
| daftykins | (free) | 15:51 |
| nicomachus | and codecademy has a pretty decent command-line intro, also free. | 15:51 |
| tomer | ekman: One of the best ways is to install a user friendly distribution like Ubuntu and start playing around with it. Other than that there are book and free online courses like e.g Linux Fundamentals at EDX. | 15:52 |

| aguywithoptimus | Any suggestions? I heard bumblebee is a plausible solution; I have weird display issues and heating issues running noveau | 16:09 |
| aguywithoptimus | help would be greatly appreciated :) | 16:09 |
| Bassem | TJ-, what do you mean | 16:09 |
| k1l | aguywithoptimus: ubuntu got nvidia-prime which is the official successor of bumblebee now | 16:10 |
| aguywithoptimus | will that work for me? I am a bit of a dumbarse with Linux, as I have never been able to use it | 16:10 |

| lcbeta | yes | 16:15 |
| daftykins | legacy and EFI, MBR and GPT ;) | 16:15 |

| lcbeta | ok | 16:16 |
| Bassem | any way to make titlebar bigger | 16:16 |
| k1l | aguywithoptimus: ubuntu works with both, efi or legacy(bios) boot. but you need to stick to the same that the installed windows uses if you dont want to reinstall windows. | 16:16 |
| lcbeta | #ubuntu-arm | 16:16 |
| daftykins | no you join it, don't type it | 16:16 |

| zbouby | hi all i have an issue with my nginx as a reverse proxy | 16:18 |
| k1l | aguywithoptimus: if you will end up with a ubuntu only use: choose what you like. switching to legacy boot will bring the old setup most are used to. but ubuntu works with efi, too | 16:18 |
| zbouby | the problem is that i cannot acess the website | 16:18 |
| Bassem | TJ-, i didnt install it hope you can give em the link | 16:18 |
| k1l | aguywithoptimus: i personally use legacy dualboot on my main laptop. | 16:18 |

| === cpaelzer_afk is now known as cpaelzer | ||

| zbouby | do someone can help me regarding this issue ? | 16:19 |
| k1l | aguywithoptimus: but if you have spare time anyway it would be a good point to learn the efi stuff. since its gonna be there for the near future. | 16:19 |
| Luke | I installed mercurial on ubuntu vivid via pip (because I needed a later version). anyone know where that gets installed to? | 16:20 |
| aguywithoptimus | k1l I have another machine that I will keep Windows on. Is EFI better than legacy? I have never used EFI | 16:20 |
| aguywithoptimus | k1l also, thanks for the help too! | 16:21 |
| k1l | aguywithoptimus: if you have some time to read yourself into that make a efi setup. if you need a system asap just choose legacy in bios and make a mbr install (if your bios got that option) | 16:22 |
| k1l | !efi | aguywithoptimus | 16:23 |
| ubottu | aguywithoptimus: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS.

| aguywithoptimus | afk | 16:28 |
| ubuntourist | It's what SHOULD be a simple question: Which. module. does. a. device. use? Google has sent me to lsusb, lshw, lspci, modprobe, modinfo, grepping modules.aliases, etc. | 16:28 |
| Bassem | TJ-, yes i downloaded it but that is only code,i want a form editing | 16:28 |
| tomer | Bassem: What do you intend to do with VB net? | 16:29 |
| ubuntourist | Isn't there a simple way to say "Give me the filename of the driver that controls 046d:c404?" | 16:29 |
| k1l | ubuntourist: depends. on. the. exact. device. and. used. ubuntu. version. | 16:29 |
| TJ- | Bassem: Ahhh, OK, I'm surprised there is no forms editor though that is the area where MS tools were always strong | 16:29 |
| TJ- | ubuntourist: Yes | 16:29 |
| k1l | ubuntourist: so usb device? use -v on lsusb then | 16:30 |
| ubuntourist | kll: Ubuntu Studio, wily, Logitech Trackman Wheel (046d:c404). | 16:30 |
| Bassem | TJ-, yes | 16:31 |
| k1l | ubuntourist: try "usb-devices" in terminal | 16:32 |
| sruli | i need my script to exec on shutdown/reboot before ecryptFS dismounts? where can i put this script? regular runlevels are no good here as if i call for shutdown/reboot they run after logout - ubuntu 14.04 | 16:33 |
| ubuntourist | k1l: Did the lsusb -v (before coming here). It gives me a lot of information but nothing that matches "ls -R /lib/modules". | 16:33 |
| TJ- | ubuntourist: "sudo lshw -businfo -numeric | grep -i '046d:c404' " | 16:34 |
| ubuntourist | k1l: I want to add to /etc/rc.local a modprobe for the trackman | 16:36 |
| srg | I'm buying a wireless dongle and I'd like to make sure it's supported in both linux and win10. Can anyone help me? It's an Asus USB-N13 Wireless N. | 16:37 |
| ubuntourist | TJ- That gave bizarre results: The terminal overwrote it the line after the command a few times. "reset" and tried again. Same overwriting effect. | 16:37 |
| ubuntourist | TJ- Just tried it without the grep and got a long list. So, apparently, there is no driver for the Trackman I'm using at the moment? | 16:39 |
| hajk | hi | 16:39 |
| nicomachus | srg: Are you looking at the A1 or the B1 model? | 16:40 |
| hajk | I am new with ubuntu/linux and i have to learn it for school. My task is to start "synaptic" and install "xfce-terminalemulator". i set the checkbox for it, how do i install it now? | 16:41 |
| srg | nicomachus: Not sure. I was going to buy it today from a local computer store - their website doesn't say B1 or A1 | 16:41 |
| Bassem | how can i run mkv format on ubuntu | 16:41 |
| daftykins | matroska is a container, video in this container can likely be played with VLC | 16:41 |
| daftykins | hajk: there's a menu option to enact the changes set | 16:42 |
| nicomachus | srg: looks like the rev. A1 model comes with a ralink chipset, which is fine. howeveer, the rev_B1 model comes with a realtek chipset which uses the rtl8192cu driver, which is very problematic in ubuntu right now. | 16:42 |
| nicomachus | srg: I *cannot* recommend that realtek chipset for linux use (I currently have a dongle that uses it, and connection drops often) | 16:42 |
| ubuntourist | k1l: Thanks. "usb-devices" was what I was seeking. (And the answer is, it uses a generic Human Interface Device driver: usbhid.) | 16:43 |
| srg | nicomachus: Ahh, ok. Thank you very much! Is there a dongle you'd recommend? It's for a wireless-g network (yeah, it's old) | 16:43 |
| nicomachus | srg: I have a personal preference for Panda Wireless, because they are well-supported in linux, but basically anything that doesn't use that realtek chipset should work fine. | 16:44 |
| ubuntourist | (Now to figure out why konversation's gone off the rails. Ta-ta.) | 16:45 |

| willington | MonkeyDust: doesn't exist, http://pastebin.com/rtX0HVXM | 16:56 |
| ioria | hajk, you 're welcome | 16:57 |
| MonkeyDust | willington then it's not ubuntu... what's the output of lsb_release -sd | 16:57 |
| mcphail | hajk: note MonkeyDust's advice, and use gksu rather than sudo. sudo has a few bugs when it comes to launching graphical programs. (Or launch synaptic from the menu, where it should be set up correctly) | 16:57 |
| willington | nicomachus: I'd love to use it, but I have no package manager, and very little tools on my system to build it myself (e.g. Make) | 16:57 |

| hajk | ioria, makes sense | 16:58 |
| willington | thank you anyway | 16:58 |
| ioria | hajk, note the MonkeyDust comment .... for graphical software you use 'gksu' .... | 16:59 |
| Bassem | is there something like internet download manager? | 16:59 |
| hajk | mcphail, as long the teacher asks for sudo, i have to use it, for me personally i will remember your comment, thank you | 16:59 |
| mcphail | hajk: sudo _will_ break your system for graphical apps | 16:59 |
| mcphail | !gksu | hajk | 17:00 |
| ubottu | hajk: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 17:00 |
| mcphail | ..argh - that factoid needs updated | 17:00 |
| hajk | mcphail, i am running ubuntu via virtualbox on a mac. whats the worst case scenario that can happen? | 17:00 |
| mcphail | hajk: The files in your home directory can be assigned to root, rather than your own user, making it impossible to log in. It is generally possible to fix, but a real pain in hte neck to do so | 17:01 |
| hajk | mcphail, ok thank you i wont use sudo in the future anymore. | 17:02 |
| mcphail | hajk: sudo is fine for command-line apps, though ;) | 17:02 |
| hajk | mcphail, i think i have to work further into linux to understand all the differences, like i said i just started right now using linux | 17:03 |
| mcphail | hajk: the "sudo" thing is an oddity - lease don't think Linux is genrally as annoying as that. Really, we should have fixed the sudo bug 10 years ago | 17:04 |

| TJ- | ioria: I think you may be chasing the wrong problem. Originally mrsam96 said the site reported "...version 11.5.0 or greater required ..." and the installed version is 11.2.xxx ... so it could be flashplayer itself executed code that reported the warning, or else the Javascript in the web page did. | 18:04 |
| ux2 | nicomachus: where are u from? | 18:05 |
| Aguywithoptimus | is there any alternative to nvidia-prime then? I cannot disable optimus in the bios or anything | 18:05 |

| mrsam96 | lioria: i do this | 18:22 |
| sruli | can someone please help me? i have a script i need to exec on shutdown/reboot before ecryptFS dismounts? where can i put this script? regular runlevels are no good here as if i call for shutdown/reboot they run after logout - ubuntu 14.04 | 18:23 |
| mrsam96 | <ikonia> cant open ur link | 18:23 |
| ikonia | mrsam96: it says you need flash 11.5 or later | 18:23 |
| tlt | sruli, what does the script do? | 18:23 |
| ioria | mrsam96, i can open it and i'm 11.2 | 18:24 |
| ikonia | mrsam96: can you see this link pastebin.ubuntu.com ? | 18:24 |
| mrsam96 | <ikonia>yeah | 18:24 |
| ikonia | mrsam96: put the contents of "dpkg -l | grep -i flash" into that site, click submit and show us the URL it gives you | 18:25 |
| mrsam96 | <ikonia> ok | 18:25 |
| sruli | tlt: i need it to sync a few files, i have the script it works fine when i test it, the problem is i need it to run before ecryptFS dismount which happens before logoff, when adding the script to run levels even as K01 it runs after logoff, i need the script to stop the logoff until it completes and then continue with shutdown | 18:25 |
| tlt | sruli, sounds like something you want to do manually. Do you really want a script like that hard-set into every shutdown? | 18:26 |
| tlt | make a script that you run manually instead perhaps | 18:26 |
| mrsam96 | <ikonia> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14009947/ | 18:26 |
| sruli | tlt: yes it has to run without me or other users remebering to execute it before shutdown | 18:27 |
| syntroPi | gosh i never have seen a linux kernel messed up so badly. completely lost control.freaking scary | 18:27 |
| ikonia | mrsam96: have you restarted your browser | 18:27 |
| ikonia | syntroPi: "lost control" what are you talking about | 18:27 |
| syntroPi | that i had to pull the plug | 18:27 |
| mrsam96 | <ikonia>restart it and then? | 18:27 |
| syntroPi | hope all my data is uncorrupted | 18:28 |
| ikonia | mrsam96: have you restarted firefox since you installed that package ? | 18:28 |
| ikonia | syntroPi: you appear to just be saying random things like "lost control of the kernel" over and over, implying that you "had control" over it | 18:28 |
| mrsam96 | <ikonia>i do any thing...just install ubuntu and install vmware | 18:28 |
| ikonia | syntroPi: the kernel has hung, you killed software agressively, it can happen | 18:28 |
| ikonia | mrsam96: did you restart your firefox browser after you installed that package yes/no | 18:29 |
| ioria | mrsam96, can you open this https://vimeo.com/26152501 ? | 18:29 |
| syntroPi | yeah my fault but anyhow it shouldnt | 18:29 |
| mrsam96 | <ikonia>yeah | 18:29 |

| tlt | unless other users all use the same account | 18:31 |
| syntroPi | sure xorg could go to hell but not the whole kernel! i bet it had to do with nvidia binary | 18:31 |
| sruli | tlt: i need to add the script to each user account | 18:32 |
| mrsam96 | <ikonia> i think never cant solve my problem :( | 18:32 |

| ikonia | syntroPi: I'd advise you to not make these sort of statements when getting help unless you know / understand the words you're saying | 18:32 |
| mrsam96 | <ikonia> i really dont like come back to shit windows | 18:32 |
| ikonia | mrsam96: please don't swear | 18:32 |
| ioria | mrsam96, more simple, can you open any flash videos ? | 18:32 |

| tlt | sruli, this is for bash logout but perhaps relevant? https://serverfault.com/questions/318813/how-to-run-a-script-on-logging-out | 18:36 |
| ioria | mrsam96, ok,,,, you can try with pepperflashplugin-nonfree in chromium or enable adobe-flashplugin | 18:36 |
| tlt | except it'd run for each closing of a virtual terminal while in X also possibly | 18:36 |
| mrsam96 | <ioria> how can do this | 18:36 |
| sruli | tlt: seen that its good for ssh logout | 18:37 |
| ioria | mrsam96, sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree | 18:37 |
| ikonia | if you can see that flash video - but not your vmware one, it means the plug is too old | 18:37 |

| korst3n | Hey, a package i'm trying to install requires libavcodec-extra-56. I see that it's only available on vivid but I'm on trusty. Would there be a problem if i downloaded it and installed on my machine? | 18:39 |
| mrsam96 | ioria...yeah is currect i forget e....i install it | 18:40 |
| ioria | mrsam96, mg | 18:40 |
| mrsam96 | <ikonia> install that so? | 18:40 |

| ikonia | mrsam96: sorry I don't understand | 18:41 |

| tlt | sruli, 14.04 uses upstart I guess, perhaps you'll find some clues here http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ | 18:41 |
| mrsam96 | <ioria> fo test it i have to test with local ip...then im Go out from chanell ok? | 18:41 |
| syntroPi | ikonia there is lots of nv-kern-close regieser dumps | 18:41 |
| korst3n | lotuspsychje: right.. i'm trying to install attract-mode, a mame frontend. i'll see if installing previous versions of libavcodec-extras will suffice. | 18:42 |
| ioria | mrsam96, what ? | 18:42 |
| ikonia | syntroPi: ok ? | 18:42 |
| lotuspsychje | !pinning | korst3n maybe this can also help? | 18:42 |

| ikonia | as a reboot cleares it down | 18:51 |
| ikonia | syntroPi: then you need to black list them | 18:52 |
| ub_ubuntu | how ? | 18:52 |
| ioria | mrsam96, it uses 19 ... so far above 11.5 | 18:52 |
| ikonia | ok | 18:52 |
| ikonia | ub_ubuntu: what is the zombie process | 18:52 |
| syntroPi | lsmod | grep nv just shows nvidia not nv or nouveau | 18:52 |
| ikonia | syntroPi: so it's not loaded now | 18:52 |
| ub_ubuntu | gsettings | 18:53 |
| syntroPi | why shoild it be loaded before? because i killed xoeg? | 18:53 |
| mrsam96 | gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. i see it when i want to install that | 18:53 |
| ikonia | syntroPi: I don't know - this is your box and "your in control of your kernel" work it through and look at senarios | 18:53 |
| ikonia | ub_ubuntu: how are you seeing this as a zombie ? | 18:54 |
| mrsam96 | <ioria> i just download flash player plug in and dont enable it...may be i have to enable it yeah? | 18:54 |
| ioria | mrsam96, maybe | 18:54 |
| ub_ubuntu | when i use top command it shows 1 zombie and then i use ps aux | grep Z | 18:55 |

| mrsam96 | <ioria> how can i enable it | 18:55 |
| mrsam96 | ? | 18:55 |

| ikonia | I didon't tell you to install anything | 19:52 |
| carrera | ikonia, desktop wouldn't even boot because of the nouveau drivers | 19:52 |
| ikonia | I asked you a question, you didn't answer, I backed away | 19:53 |
| carrera | ikonia, so I downloaded desktop for nothing on a slow and paid by usage line | 19:53 |
| ikonia | I didn't tell you to do that | 19:53 |

| Bashing-om | Overlap: even thoght the example shows your /home as an acceptable path ... I have - as TJ- advises - always put my image in /boot/grub/ . | 20:51 |
| TJ- | Bashing-om: I think it depends on whether the grub root file-system is the same file-system as contains the path, because "is_path_readable_by_grub "$GRUB_BACKGROUND" " is checked | 20:51 |

| RandomNoob | i know that :s but which one is better primary swap or logical. im always set it as logical | 20:59 |

| RandomNoob | guys i found solution for my problem with uefi. you can check the big post from me. if you have Acer Aspire E15 and uefi secure boot does not let you boot. it says not found bootable device. Go to the bios. Set up password. after that you are able to edit uefi custom settings. go to add uefi file. and follow the file manager choose grubx64.efi. DONE. You will boot Ubuntu. now if you are afraid to forgot your bios password you can clear it. | 21:33 |
| TJ- | raving: It would be a long-shot - the problem seems to be the EFI memory map is correct so GRUB can't allocate | 21:33 |
| TJ- | RandomNoob: yes, we've dealt with that several times before | 21:34 |
| TJ- | RandomNoob: once you've 'trusted' the boot file you can disable the secureboot again and it'll still work | 21:34 |
| raving | TJ-, speaking of which, this might be a detail that may or not be worth mentioning but the system has 32GiB of RAM in it, so I'm not sure if it might try to allocate past the available address space or not | 21:34 |
| raving | I don't know much about either the way EFI or Grub work internally | 21:34 |
| TJ- | raving: it could be confusing GRUB, yes. I'll be interested in your experience with 15.10 | 21:35 |

| daftykins | regedit: over the internet? mistake with such a composited desktop imo | 21:42 |
| regedit | nicomachus: thanks, i am aware of SSH :D just not how to use it as a graphic remote operating tool | 21:42 |
| adeon_ | run "vino-preferences" on aterminal | 21:42 |
| RandomNoob | guys intel hd graphics does not have any driver? at least x server? S: the picture quality is not the best :( | 21:42 |
| rww | bradhe: yes. urandom is significantly faster, regardless | 21:42 |
| bekks | adeon_: VNC is insecure when not being tunneled through SSH. | 21:42 |
| regedit | daftykins: what is a mistake, teamviewer? | 21:42 |
| Armadillos_ | regedit: Look at nomachine | 21:42 |
| bradhe | Got it. | 21:43 |
| bradhe | Looks like perhaps because it doesn't have to wait for the entropy pool to refill | 21:43 |
| daftykins | regedit: re-read my sentence. | 21:43 |
| adeon_ | bekks., even with encrption on ? :-/ | 21:43 |
| ropo | how do i install sublime-text on ubuntu? | 21:43 |
| daftykins | version? | 21:43 |
| ropo | any | 21:44 |
| daftykins | no you need to be specific | 21:44 |
| bekks | adeon_: The VNC protocol is known to not implement security in a secure manner. You can safely assume to break the "vnc encryption" within seconds. | 21:44 |
| ropo | 3 | 21:44 |
| daftykins | ubuntu version, ropo. | 21:44 |
| ropo | 14.04 | 21:44 |
| ropo | LTS | 21:44 |
| regedit | daftykins: so what does that mean, "No! Thou cannot have any graphical remote computer access under buntu!" ?? | 21:44 |
| adeon_ | then vnc through ssh or the whole x window | 21:44 |
| rww | bradhe: yep. basically, the difference in randomness quality is irrelevant if you're not in a very-early-boot scenario where there hasn't been enough entropy made to seed the random-number generator yet | 21:45 |
| daftykins | regedit: forget i spoke. | 21:45 |
| adeon_ | bekks, can you foward the whole X windows? not just a window? | 21:45 |
| adeon_ | bekks, can you foward the whole X server? not just a window? | 21:45 |

| ubottu | w9qbj: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 21:45 |
| bekks | adeon_: Thats what can be done using VNC - tunneled through SSH - or by using nxclient/nxserver. | 21:46 |
| ropo | another question can i change the position of my Launcher (from left hand side)? | 21:46 |
| Overlap | no body thinks @ubottu :P | 21:46 |
| regedit | so uh, what can i use for graphical remote desktop access then? | 21:46 |
| bekks | regedit: VNC tunneled through SSH, nxclient/nxserver, ssh -X | 21:47 |
| DirtyCajun | if you unplugged an offline HDD and moved a sata from 1 port to another thats connected to a hdd that is part of a LVM while the pc was off would linux know the difference | 21:47 |

| bekks | regedit: I told you three options. | 21:48 |
| regedit | oh they are 3 different ones :D | 21:48 |
| regedit | how am i supposed to know | 21:48 |
| bekks | regedit: Most likely they are different options because they are comma-separated | 21:48 |
| regedit | bekks: they sound like interesting options, are they hard to setup? where can i find info on them | 21:48 |

| constantine_ | hi everybody | 21:49 |
| daftykins | hi | 21:49 |
| lasko | hey | 21:49 |
| constantine_ | please helpme | 21:49 |
| lasko | Ask the question | 21:50 |
| regedit | put differently: in windows land I can download and run TeamViewer for a smooth nice graphical remote computer access experience. Does linux/ubuntu/etc have something like that yet? | 21:50 |
| regedit | as close as possible in ease of use | 21:50 |
| constantine_ | my sound card realtek alc 880 and install driver | 21:50 |
| bekks | regedit: Whatever you can do in windows is irrelevant in here. | 21:50 |
| DirtyCajun | regedit.... you can use teamviewer in linux | 21:50 |
| DirtyCajun | lol | 21:50 |
| bekks | regedit: And I told you three options, which do what you asked for. | 21:50 |
| DirtyCajun | it works great. | 21:51 |
| regedit | DirtyCajun: not in my case | 21:51 |
| DirtyCajun | why? | 21:51 |
| regedit | i'd love to know | 21:51 |
| Bashing-om | RandomNoob: I am not that familiar with Intel - so take with a grain of salt . Some Intel chip sets do not support 3d, and nowadays unity requires that the GPU have that 3d support . | 21:51 |
| DirtyCajun | what is not allowing it to work | 21:51 |
| procyon_ember | Is "nomodeset" the correct boot parameter to disable kernel mode setting? | 21:51 |
| nicomachus | yes procyon_ember | 21:52 |
| regedit | DirtyCajun: no idea. but it just stops working after a few sec. view does not update anymore, keys/mouse actions dont do anything | 21:52 |
| === me is now known as Guest96403 | ||
| DirtyCajun | have you checked your logs ? | 21:52 |
| procyon_ember | Then I have a problem. I can't boot Lubuntu 15.10 desktop cd on this computer. | 21:52 |
| regedit | bekks: those sound like interesting options. Are they easy to setup? Where can i find tutorials/guides on getting those working as easy as TeamViewer on Windows? | 21:53 |
| bekks | regedit: they are so easy to setup, you could have found the three wiki articles already. | 21:53 |
| DirtyCajun | regedit. just so you know. i have played with 20 Remote desktop programs. NONE are the same as teamviwer | 21:54 |
| bekks | DirtyCajun: you played with the wrong solutions then ;) | 21:54 |
| regedit | DirtyCajun: also they removed the "disable remote screen" button. but mainly its just not working | 21:54 |
| ikonia | regedit: contact teamviewer then | 21:54 |
| regedit | ikonia: i'm doing that too | 21:55 |
| ikonia | job done then | 21:55 |
| regedit | well no, i need graphical remote access | 21:55 |
| regedit | so i come here asking for options on this fine OS | 21:55 |
| ikonia | regedit: and you'v ebeen given options | 21:55 |
| ikonia | research the options you've been given | 21:55 |
| DirtyCajun | bekks. name one i have tried it bby :) also they did not disable that at all... i have teamviewr open right now and looking at it current version | 21:56 |
| regedit | ikonia: yep, so what are you interjecting about then, if i may ask | 21:56 |
| procyon_ember | /afk | 21:56 |
| RandomNoob | how to check that ? if it supports 3d? | 21:57 |
| ikonia | regedit: you've got the info - job done, you appeared to be continuing to ask the info | 21:57 |
| regedit | ikonia: nope, i was discussing TeamViewer with DirtyCajun | 21:57 |
| ikonia | regedit: ubuntu doesn't make/maintain it - so talk to teamviewer support about it | 21:57 |
| constantine_ | please help me | 21:58 |
| constantine_ | my sound card not working | 21:58 |
| DirtyCajun | i try not to be bias. there are a lot of programs that dosome of what teamviewer does. i havent found one that does EVERYTHING. and not nearly as seamless | 21:58 |
| regedit | ikonia: yep you've suggested that priorly, thank you | 21:58 |
| Overlap | constantine , which version of Ubuntu are you using ? | 22:00 |
| Overlap | . | 22:02 |
| Bashing-om | RandomNoob: Not sure if this is still apt but ' /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p -f ' all lines are yes to fully support unity . | 22:02 |
| ssalenik | regedit: there is also xpra: http://xpra.org/ which might work for you | 22:02 |

| stacks88 | when running free -tm on a virtual machine i get http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=yEbTkWuM so does this mean ive got 4.2gb of free memory, or is it 6 gb? | 22:03 |
| rww | stacks88: for the usual meaning of free, you have 6017MB | 22:04 |
| teward | stacks88: The total includes swap in it. Your actual RAM total is 6017MB | 22:04 |
| teward | blah rww ninja'd me | 22:05 |
| stacks88 | ah ok | 22:05 |
| rww | the first line is a (not generally what you want) measure of memory including cache, second line is memory without stuff that can be trivially freed up, third line is swap, fourth line is first + third | 22:05 |

| RandomNoob | Bashing-om im on 14.04 | 22:11 |
| Bashing-om | RandomNoob: Should workie .. you are using ubuntu with unity as the DE, yes ? | 22:12 |
| RandomNoob | Bashing-om yeah it is there i checked with file manager. am i typing wrong in terminal ? | 22:12 |
| RandomNoob | just installed ubuntu with default all | 22:13 |
| Bashing-om | RandomNoob: Maybe; try as ' /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p ' . | 22:14 |
| RandomNoob | Bashing-om wow now it runs. it says on all yes | 22:14 |
| RandomNoob | but i feel that the picture is not as good as on my old pc :( is there any drivers for intel hd graphics? for intel pentium 3825U processor | 22:15 |
| RandomNoob | cant find in google | 22:15 |
| daftykins | it's not windows, you don't install graphics drivers for intel. | 22:16 |
| OerHeks | intel is supported OOTB, Acer Aspire E150 with Intel HD Graphics 4400, not a racemonster, but youtube should work full screen | 22:16 |
| Bashing-om | RandomNoob: Well, was a thought, Great though that the chip set is supported . Do not lnow what to advise about improving the display quality . | 22:16 |
| OerHeks | systemsettings > colour > colourprofiles | 22:17 |
| RandomNoob | Bashing-om on my desktop pc i had problem with ubuntu. it had like sepia effect on all the screen. like redfish. | 22:19 |
| Bashing-om | RandomNoob: On that machine, might see about changing the graphic's driver . On the one present with Ontel. Intel provides the best they have and it is in the kernel . There is no other with out going to the testing route . | 22:21 |
| Bashing-om | Intel* | 22:21 |

| RandomNoob | I think this is cuz of screen is cheap :S | 22:30 |
| OerHeks | install unity-tweak to fiddle around with those settings | 22:30 |

| daftykins | !nomodeset | 22:39 |
| ubottu | 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 | 22:39 |

| k1l | mrsam96: which ubuntu are you on? | 22:46 |
| Scotter | 14.04.3 | 22:46 |
| TJ- | OerHeks: I don't think memtest86+ has support for UEFI yet, so unlikely to work for raving, not according to bug 1234612 anyhow | 22:46 |
| ubottu | bug 1234612 in trusty-backports "Please backport memtest86+ 5.01-3ubuntu1 from Ubuntu 15.10 Wily to 14.04 LTS (memtest86 is 4 years old (v4.2.0) in LTS)!" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1234612 | 22:46 |

| OerHeks | TJ-, ouch, good point | 22:46 |
| daftykins | Scotter: type of system? | 22:47 |
| daftykins | Scotter: to be honest it would be the quickest thing to try. | 22:47 |
| Scotter | It's a lenovo flex 10, 64 bit. | 22:47 |
| Scotter | i'll give it a try | 22:47 |
| Scotter | when I put in acpi=off, it gave me no error...just went to a black screen | 22:47 |
| daftykins | that means nothing to me without a spec link really | 22:48 |
| TJ- | OerHeks: if raving returns I'd suggest he tries removing 16GiB RAM if possible; I think it's a mapping issue in GRUB with the size of memory | 22:48 |
| k1l | mrsam96: since kde5 they splitted the kde stuff in several projects like plasma, apps, framework etc etc etc. so there is no kde-full package anymore | 22:48 |
| Scotter | hold up, i'll grab the specs | 22:48 |
| k1l | mrsam96: maybe the guys in #kubuntu can tell you what the full meta package now is named | 22:49 |
| mrsam96 | <k1l> so with one is better to install it? | 22:50 |
