[00:08] <scrabcakes> daftykins: ...could you elaborate on what you mean if you don't mean that
[00:08] <daftykins> no, sorry... lost interest.

[00:10] <daftykins> teward: that's nice, dear.
[00:10] <zrneely> Could someone take a look at this problem I've been having? I've tried asking here and on reddit, and so far nobody has had a solution: https://askubuntu.com/questions/709535/why-doesnt-gsettings-work-in-tmux
[00:11] <scrabcakes> daftykins: I guess I will never know what enthralling advice awaited me
[00:13] <zykotick9> zrneely: i remember your issue from earlier.  have you tried asking in the #tmux channel?
[00:29] <yanivkalfa> my ubuntu keep going to login every so on so, its like it goes to sleep
[00:29] <yanivkalfa> is there a way to change that ?
[00:29] <yanivkalfa> also i've removed several items from the left from the lunchbar but they keep poping up
[00:31] <theelementace> your computer must be locking
[00:31] <Guest65495> I am also facing similar problem
[00:32] <Guest65495> what do you mean by locking >
[00:32] <Guest65495> ?
[00:32] <theelementace> like when you stay away from your computer..
[00:32] <theelementace> your computer locks itself
[00:32] <theelementace> ...so random people can't use it while you're gone
[00:32] <Guest65495> but , as he said , even after removing icons from the launcher, they reappear
[00:33] <Guest65495> after boot
[00:33] <theelementace> hmmm, never heard that one before
[00:33] <Guest65495> and auto hide launcher isn't working
[00:33] <Guest65495> launcher isn
[00:33] <Guest65495> isn't hiding
[00:33] <theelementace> yeah i gave up on auto hide the launcher
[00:33] <procyon_ember> exit
[00:34] <Guest65495> Is there any configuration file in the /etc  or /home , may be we can check ?
[00:34] <Guest65495> system might not be able to read that file ?
[00:36] <theelementace> Not sure but I'll look
[00:40] <HackerII> I need a script
[00:42] <theelementace> sorry Guest65495, I'm stumped
[00:42] <HackerII> I need a script to which will automatically ignore the 50 character nicks that disrupt peoples screens as well as interrupt the channel while only trying to get attention for frivolous problems that can be solved with a simple search. thanks.
[00:43] <HackerII> immaturity is the essence of irresponsibility.
[00:43] <potyiop> HackerII: 50 character nicks. Funny
[00:45] <wad> I've got a 16GB microSD card. I plugged it in, but I'm not seeing the volume. I don't see anything particular in the dmesg output, not anything in "cat /proc/partitions". Where would this guy normally show up? I wanna fdisk it, and put Ubuntu for the Raspberry Pi onto it...
[00:46] <wad> Ideas?
[00:47] <tlt> yeah run the graphical disk-utility "Disk Utility" or palimpsest
[00:47] <wad> ok
[00:47] <tlt> isn't that obvious?
[00:47] <wad> I ran gparted, didn't see it there either. I'll try the other one.
[00:47] <tlt> it'll show you the layout of the drive
[00:48] <Bashing-om> wad: Anything from ' cat /proc/mounts ' ?
[00:48]  * wad tries
[00:48] <HackerII> that will allow you to both format the thumb drive as well as mount/unmount it
[00:48] <wad> cool
[00:50] <ferney> hola
[00:50] <lulcat> HOLA AMIGOS

[00:52] <wad> "man palimpsest" says I have no manual entry for it.
[00:52] <HackerII> wad install unetbootin, run it and point it to your iso
[00:53] <nicomachus> !es | ferney
[00:54] <tlt> wad, write palimpsest in terminal
[00:55] <wad> palimpsest: command not found
[00:55] <wad> Yeah, I'm not sure what's wrong.
[00:55] <tlt> apt-get install palimpsest perhaps
[00:55] <wad> E: Unable to locate package palimpsest
[00:55] <wad> Tried that too. :)
[00:55] <wad> I'm on 14.04 LTS.
[00:55] <tlt> borked system, I wonder how you do it. Sure you're on Ubuntu at all?
[00:55] <tlt> ok then
[00:57] <wad> Ah, foudn it!
[00:57] <wad> It's called "gnome-disks" now.
[00:57] <wad> google FTW.
[00:57] <tlt> the upper left search icon you can type disk utility
[00:57] <tlt> should find it then
[00:57] <nicomachus> ..... you did all that *before* googling?
[00:57] <tlt> type disk and disk utility will be amongt the results
[01:01] <Skaag> I'm trying `apt-key adv --fetch-keys https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource.gpg.key` and it's complaining that the "https" protocol isn't supported... :-(
[01:01] <Skaag> any ideas?
[01:02] <wad> Hmm, nothing I do will let me see this SD card though. :(
[01:02] <wad> When I plug it in, the reader lights up a blue LED. So it seems to see it.
[01:03] <Zelrik> Skaag, maybe wget the key instead?
[01:03] <wad> I'll boot to Windows, maybe it can do something with it.
[01:03] <HackerII> format it on windoze and then try again
[01:06] <tacocat_> Is there a way to install kde4 on ubuntu?
[01:08] <Bashing-om> Skaag: " --fetch " I do not see as an argument . See ' man apt-key ' ; an example of apt-key " sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 94558F59 " .
[01:19] <tacocat_> Anyone know if it's possible to install kde4 on ubuntu?
[01:20] <nicomachus> it is
[01:20] <nicomachus> tacocat_: see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE
[01:21] <tacocat_> nicomachus, problem is that page only lists kde5 plasma
[01:22] <tacocat_> Was hoping there would be an older version or something for kde4
[01:23] <nicomachus> why would you want and older version?
[01:23] <nicomachus> s/and/an/
[01:25] <tacocat_> nicomachus, not much of a fan of kde5 as I am of kde4
[01:25] <neno> hola

[02:03] <maldridge> greetings all, I've got an issue with cron where jobs registered with @reboot don't get run on the first boot after the installer finishes;  is there a good way to ensure that first-boot tasks get run?
[02:03] <noahbentusi> @nicomachus thanks. it tells me "TypeError: Main.lookingGlass is null"
[02:04] <nicomachus> noahbentusi: sorry, I'm not familiar with the program.
[02:05] <m_wynn> maldridge: have you looked into Systemd timers?
[02:05] <yanivkalfa> baam its fixed
[02:06] <nicomachus> \o/
[02:08] <maldridge> m_wynn: that sounds like massive overkill, I just want to run a single task on first boot; I believe this could be related to a possible bug in ubuntu's cron hinted at in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1530652
[02:13] <nicomachus> maldridge: what are you trying to run on startup, and how are you setting it up?
[02:14] <maldridge> nicomachus: at the end of my preseed I run a preseed/late_command that dumps a line into /etc/crontab to on reboot fetch the setup script and run it.  After booting this isn't run until manually rebooting the machine
[02:15] <maldridge> I am trying to run a setup script that configures the machine beyond what is possible in the preseed
[02:22] <glayson> Hello
[02:22] <glayson> Algum brasileiro na area ?
[02:22] <xangua> !pt | glayson
[02:23] <glayson> !pt
[02:25] <maldridge> nicomachus: any suggestions?
[02:25] <nicomachus> maldridge: no, I don't really have a clear idea of what you're trying to do, sorry.
[02:31] <maldridge> ah, allow me to clarify: once a machine finishes the automated install via a preseed, there are still additional tasks that need to be run.  I have all these tasks in a script.  I would like that script to run automatically the first time the computer starts up.  Currently I have to manually restart a machine after it first boots for the script to run but I want a way around this.
[02:33] <nicomachus> you have your cron job set to run on "reboot", correct?
[02:33] <maldridge> yes, but it doesn't run until I reboot the machine
[02:33] <nicomachus> Yes, I don't believe the first boot after install is considered a "reboot".
[02:34] <maldridge> that is my conclusion as well.  Is there a way to either force an automated reboot, or a better place to start the setup script from
[02:36] <nicomachus> you could stick it in /etc/init/ as a .conf, I believe.
[02:36] <nicomachus> but I'd prefer to get a second opinion on that from EriC^^ or Bashing-om if they're around
[02:37] <julian-delphiki> That sounds like a valid solution... sounds to me like you're doing something hacky tho
[02:38] <nicomachus> sounds like he's installing on a bunch of machines and wants an automated solution to either install updates or software needed for the use case.
[02:38] <julian-delphiki> sounds to me like he should use some real automation :)
[02:40] <nicomachus> meh. if it works, it works.
[02:41] <julian-delphiki> Just saying there are easier ways and literally frameworks written around this problem.
[02:41] <OerHeks> landscape should be able to, no?
[02:41] <maldridge> I am using real automation, but I need to start that automation somehow
[02:42] <julian-delphiki> most things do that with, install SSH server, ssh to server once its booted :)
[02:42] <maldridge> yes, and that is what I'm doing, but I still need some way to kick off the automated pull of the config sets
[02:42] <maldridge> which is on the machine the install just ran on
[02:43] <maldridge> which would seem to be an issue with cron not catching the first boot as a reboot
[02:46] <julian-delphiki> maldridge, i'd just create an init script that removes itself, or touches like /.setup_complete or something when it is done (which your script then checks)
[02:47] <cyber> I'm looking for some advice on the best way to approach an issue I have. I need to resize some partitions, because I didn't give linux enough space when I decided I wanted to dual boot.
[02:47] <maldridge> julian-delphiki: can you suggest any resource for that?  I'm thinking something that could run out of rc.local  once the first pull happens, proper daemons get started for this
[02:47] <cyber> My thinking is: Log into Windows (which is encrypted with bitlocker and resize the windows partition from there. Just unallocate the space or make it FAT32 or something.
[02:48] <julian-delphiki> maldridge, mind asking me what you're using for automation?
[02:48] <maldridge> julian-delphiki: ansible
[02:48] <cyber> then log back into Ubuntu and use the disk utils to format it for ext4
[02:49] <cyber> Ideally I would get an extra 75GB or so -- then I could migrate my home folder over to that?
[02:49] <nicomachus> cyber: to resize a partition you will need to use a live version, either on a CD or USB
[02:49] <xangua> cyber and backup is always a good idea, if you have important data
[02:49] <nicomachus> cyber: you cannot resize a partition on a disk while you are using that disk.
[02:49] <cyber> ohh gotcha. I should have the usb stick with ubuntu on it laying around here somewhere
[02:50] <julian-delphiki> Ah, okay, maldridge. I'd just create an /etc/init/something.conf file
[02:50] <cyber> I'm wondering if I will have any issues unallocating space in windows though
[02:50] <julian-delphiki> I wouldn't recommend using rc.local
[02:50] <maldridge> ok, I'll work on that
[02:50] <cyber> doesn't windows freak out with too many partitions ?
[02:50] <cyber> or is that a hard disk limitation
[02:50] <maldridge> cyber: that is a bios limitation generally
[02:50] <maldridge> (massive generalization)
[02:54] <cyber> @maldridge -- will windows allow me to partition it while I use it ?
[02:54] <nicomachus> no
[02:54] <maldridge> no OS can do that
[02:54] <OerHeks> bitlocker .. ask in ##windows
[02:54] <cyber> how am I supposed to resize an encrypted partition -- isn't that a great way to lose data?
[02:55] <xangua> backup
[02:55] <nicomachus> ^ +100
[02:55] <OerHeks> if you don't backup, your data is not important :-D
[02:56] <cyber> i backup my stuff with carbonite on windows and with a local drive
[02:56] <cyber> BUT

[03:09] <nicomachus> !nomodeset | DirtyCajun
[03:09] <adeon_> acople of the TTY;s are just for debuging. It should allow you to login to the main one
[03:14] <DirtyCajun> i dont understand what i need to type specifically

[03:51] <nicomachus> yes, ubuntu 15.10 is out.
[03:51] <nicomachus> you can also run experimental builds of 16.04
[03:52] <somsip> nicomachus: are you sure the new versions are available for ARM and Pi2 builds?
[03:53] <nicomachus> somsip: 15.10 for Pi: https://ubuntu-mate.org/raspberry-pi/
[03:54] <BlueProtoman> I'm trying to unmount a USB drive then format it, but I get this error: "Error unmounting /dev/sdb1: Command-line `umount  "/media/jesse/kubuntu1"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: umount: /media/jesse/kubuntu1: not mounted"  dmesg output at http://paste.ubuntu.com/14023417/ . Any tips?
[04:00] <ProbablyAndy> souds like its already unmounted
[04:00] <BlueProtoman> ProbablyAndy: Doesn't appear as such on Nautilus
[04:01] <BlueProtoman> Is there any output you want to see?
[04:01] <ProbablyAndy> what does "mount" say
[04:01] <BlueProtoman> ProbablyAndy: sudo umount /dev/sdb1 -v
[04:02] <BlueProtoman> Err
[04:02] <BlueProtoman> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14023571/
[04:02] <BlueProtoman> This is with the flash drive plugged in
[04:02] <ProbablyAndy> yeah that says its mounted.
[04:03] <ProbablyAndy> but it errors out when you tell it to unmount, saying its not mounted.
[04:03] <ProbablyAndy> hmm
[04:03] <BlueProtoman> Version without the flash drive plugged in: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14023576/
[04:03] <ProbablyAndy> what happens when you unmount it through nautilus?
[04:03] <SchrodingersScat> umount /media/jesse/A575-E42F1 #?
[04:03] <BlueProtoman> ProbablyAndy: "Error unmounting /dev/sdb1: Command-line `umount  "/media/jesse/kubuntu1"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: umount: /media/jesse/kubuntu1: not mounted"
[04:04] <BlueProtoman> ProbablyAndy: But I still see the "eject" icon
[04:04] <ProbablyAndy> try the one SchrodingersScat suggested.  it seems like natulius is looking at the wrong mount point
[04:05] <BlueProtoman> "Error unmounting block device 8:17: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.Failed: Error unmounting /dev/sdb1: Command-line `umount  "/media/jesse/kubuntu1"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: umount: /media/jesse/kubuntu1: not mounted"
[04:06] <BlueProtoman> Wait, unmounting it with sudo did it
[04:06] <ProbablyAndy> weird.
[04:06] <BlueProtoman> That's weird.  I'd try to fix it, but as it happens I'm trying to reinstall Ubuntu anyway
[04:06]  * ProbablyAndy wonders how mount and unmount became so complex.
[04:07] <BlueProtoman> Of course, I have a new problem, which will inevitably go away after I tell you about it.
[04:07] <ProbablyAndy> that does happen
[04:07] <ronburgendy> did it happen after a kernel update?
[04:08] <BlueProtoman> ronburgendy: Not to my knowledge
[04:08] <BlueProtoman> I'm trying to install Kubuntu 15.10 onto a 4GB flash drive with UNetbootin.  However, it gets stuck at 53% or so (forget the exact percent), on /casper/filesystem.squashfs.
[04:08] <ronburgendy> i know it sounds dumb but did you try rebooting?
[04:08] <BlueProtoman> ronburgendy: Yes
[04:08] <ProbablyAndy> can't help ya ther, i haven't used unetbootin in a long time
[04:09] <somsip> BlueProtoman: I understood that Kubuntu was quite a big install as KDE has a large codebase.
[04:09] <ronburgendy> hm
[04:09] <ProbablyAndy> most of the iso's i've used in the last couple years i just use dd
[04:09] <BlueProtoman> somsip: The ISO is only 1.4 GB
[04:10] <somsip> BlueProtoman: The vanilla ISO is smaller than that but takes more thana few GB when installed
[04:10] <somsip> BlueProtoman: I got a recommended minimum of 4GB from 2013...
[04:11] <BlueProtoman> somsip: That's okay, I have a 4GB drive.
[04:13] <somsip> BlueProtoman: fair enough - still sounds tight to me, but if it's the recommended minumum, it's something else causing the problem then
[04:16] <kaiza> Trying to install libSDL1.2debian:i386 with apt-get returns an error with unmet dependencies with libpulse, saying I have held broken packages. Couldn't find any held packages with dpkg --get-selections | grep hold
[04:16] <kaiza> anyone know whats up?
[04:17] <ronburgendy> ohhhhhh
[04:17] <ronburgendy> are you running a 64bit os?
[04:17] <kaiza> yes
[04:17] <gr7345nw61> Update sources should fix the broken packages problem
[04:18] <kaiza> Okay I will try that!
[04:32] <glenco2> I had trouble loading Adobe Flash player, now I got it had to reboot for it to work. thanks to all that replied
[04:41] <kaiza> Hmm, tried updating the sources but I'm still getting the same broken packages error
[04:42] <SeriouslyLaugh> kaiza have you tried sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get -f install ?
[04:43] <SeriouslyLaugh> worth a shot to see if anything will finish installing that might be held up
[04:43] <kaiza> just tried it, no changes
[04:44] <SeriouslyLaugh> kaiza what is your end goal?
[04:44] <ronburgendy> i think its because you are trying to install a 32bit package on a 64bit os, in which case you'll have to install some other things before installing or compiling it
[04:44] <gr7345nw61> Did you edit the sources.list file ?, look for stable sources online and add it to your sources.list file
[04:53] <kaiza> I'm trying to install a package required for running dwarf fortress. I tried redownloading sources.list via the software center
[04:54] <SeriouslyLaugh> kaiza paste the output of uname -a
[04:54] <kaiza> Linux t500 4.2.0-19-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 11 11:39:30 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[04:55] <SeriouslyLaugh> i wonder if this will help kaiza sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
[04:55] <SeriouslyLaugh> haven't done this so i can't vouch for it
[04:55] <ronburgendy> he is installing i386 libraries on a 64bit os, point him in the right direction
[04:55] <ronburgendy> there we go
[04:56] <SeriouslyLaugh> will he need build-essential too?
[04:56] <ronburgendy> i dont think so
[04:56] <ronburgendy> but from what i see online
[04:57] <kaiza> tried the add-architecture i386, no change trying to install the package
[04:57] <ronburgendy> he has to get a repo from some where else
[04:57] <ronburgendy> to download the lib32's
[04:57] <ronburgendy> https://www.gaggl.com/2014/05/install-google-earth-on-ubuntu-14-04/
[04:57] <ronburgendy> google has there own repo
[04:57] <ronburgendy> i know he is not installing google earth, but that would probably work
[04:57] <ronburgendy> i sent him a private message but he I don't think he cared to see it
[04:58] <kaiza> ah sorry didn't see it ronburgendy
[04:58] <SeriouslyLaugh> !pm
[04:58] <SeriouslyLaugh> that wasn't directed at anyone, just worth noting
[04:59] <ronburgendy> ubuttu: Will do
[05:00]  * ronburgendy whoop
[05:00] <SeriouslyLaugh> google lead me here kaiza http://askubuntu.com/questions/64765/i-downloaded-dwarf-fortress-why-wont-it-run
[05:00] <SeriouslyLaugh> has specific instructions on the libs you need for a 64bit installation
[05:01] <SeriouslyLaugh> eh nevermind, disregard that link
[05:01] <SeriouslyLaugh> it's not very hepful
[05:02] <Varth> Hey all, I'm having an issue with a Scarlett 6i6 on Ubuntu Studio 15.10. I used the Scarlett MixControl WIndows application to set input 2 to high-impedance/instrument mode; however, when I boot back  into Ubuntu Studio, input resets back to line level, indicated by the instrument light on the front panel switching off. This happens as soon as I connect the interface, before I even start JACK. Does anyone know what would be causing thi

[05:25] <pradeep_> Hi there
[05:26] <SeriouslyLaugh> hello
[05:26] <pradeep_> My unity went to hell, I am unable to see the unity dash and window decoration !!
[05:26] <pradeep_> I can only to right click on the Desktop and open a terminal
[05:26] <SeriouslyLaugh> silly question -- have you tried rebooting or logging out and back in?
[05:27] <pradeep_> SeriouslyLaugh, yes I have done.
[05:27] <pradeep_> SeriouslyLaugh, I even tried unity --replace
[05:27] <pradeep_> but didn't work
[05:27] <SeriouslyLaugh> :(
[05:27] <pradeep_> I was trying to change some configurations in csm
[05:27] <pradeep_> to make compiz working..
[05:27] <pradeep_> but then, I got this crash :(
[05:29] <SeriouslyLaugh> which version are you on pradeep_
[05:33] <raffleOfKinnians> Hi guys, I need some help here. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 on my x64 bit laptop. I need to install windows 10 on it. I have a 16gb USB drive, and the ISO of windows 10. I've tried to use 'winusb' to make the bootable drive, but it isn't working.
[05:33] <raffleOfKinnians> Here's the message it gave me: http://pastebin.com/L6BPgMU1
[05:33] <raffleOfKinnians> Can anyone help?
[05:34] <lulcat> try rufus usb
[05:34] <raffleOfKinnians> ahh yeah i forgot completely about rufus, i'll try that in the meanwhile. Thank you lulcat!
[05:34] <lulcat> wait u have ubuntu right now
[05:34] <lulcat> rufus won't work on ubuntu
[05:34] <lulcat> and neither will winusb i think
[05:34] <ronburgendy> you can create an EFI partition if needed
[05:34] <raffleOfKinnians> ahww dammit :/
[05:34] <raffleOfKinnians> EFI partition on my harddrive?
[05:34] <lulcat> but wait there was someone else who asked the same thing
[05:35] <lulcat> and he found a usb
[05:35] <ronburgendy> no
[05:35] <raffleOfKinnians> lulcat: ?
[05:35] <lulcat> [22:08] <Tipping_Fedora> so, can I make a bootable/installable Drive from linux using an ISO?
[05:35] <lulcat> [22:13] <Tipping_Fedora> unetbootin
[05:35] <lulcat> [22:13] <Tipping_Fedora> there we go
[05:35] <lulcat> try unetbootin
[05:35] <raffleOfKinnians> ronburgendy: i'm more or less looking to completely override my current-harddrive with windows 10. a single partition if possible
[05:35] <pradeep_> SeriouslyLaugh, its 15.10
[05:36] <ronburgendy> wait
[05:36] <raffleOfKinnians> lulcat: ahh yes, unetbootin has worked for me in the past, thanks ill try it now in the meanwhile.
[05:37] <raffleOfKinnians> ronburgendy:  wait for what? o.o
[05:41] <pradeep_> SeriouslyLaugh, are you there ?
[05:41] <ronburgendy> raffleOfKinnians, nevermind I'm over thinking
[05:41] <raffleOfKinnians> ronburgendy: happens to all of us xD
[05:41] <SeriouslyLaugh> pradeep_ i haven't had that problem myself so i'm not sure the answer
[05:41] <SeriouslyLaugh> aside from googling stuff
[05:41] <SeriouslyLaugh> and randomly suggesting it, which i dont like to do
[05:42] <ronburgendy> raffleOfKinnians, That error you showed said it couldn't find an efi partition, which you could make with gparted
[05:42] <pradeep_> SeriouslyLaugh, OK, I am even unable to google :(
[05:42] <ronburgendy> raffleOfKinnians, but you found an alternative I guess
[05:42] <raffleOfKinnians> ronburgendy:  i hope*
[05:42] <raffleOfKinnians> :P
[05:43] <ronburgendy> what shows x11 errors, /var/log/syslog?
[05:44] <SeriouslyLaugh> pradeep_ use another device maybe
[05:44] <SeriouslyLaugh> not sure how to reset unity settings in 15.10
[05:45] <ronburgendy> SeriouslyLaugh, ya I don't even know how it works or else I'd say default the xorg file if you have a backup of it. Or if ubuntu stores a backup of it
[05:46] <raffleOfKinnians> In UNetbootin, I can't seem to find my USB drive listed, in the drop down box of 'usb selection', even though i can clearly see my USB in my computer, and the files in it
[05:46] <raffleOfKinnians> Any way to.... remedy this?
[05:46] <Mr_Cyclops> Hello all. Shall I put my queries for Kubuntu in this channel or should I look for kubuntu or KDE specific one?
[05:47] <ronburgendy> can you see it in gparted?
[05:47] <raffleOfKinnians> ronburgendy:  ill look
[05:47] <ronburgendy> or do you mean it doesnt even mount
[05:47] <raffleOfKinnians> ronburgendy:  if it's mounted, i won't be able to see it's contents, right?
[05:48] <ronburgendy> raffleOfKinnians, if you've been using a program that uses something like dd then or imgburn it will be all fucked up
[05:48] <raffleOfKinnians> Yep ronburgendy, I can see it in Gparted. Listed as /dev/sdb1 NTFS file system
[05:49] <raffleOfKinnians> ronburgendy:  i've been trying a few programs, it's definitely possible
[05:49] <raffleOfKinnians> hmm
[05:49] <ronburgendy> raffleOfKinnians, just delete everything on there and reformat it with gparted
[05:50] <raffleOfKinnians> ok, will do ronburgendy .
[05:50] <ronburgendy> raffleOfKinnians, you might have to umount it to delete anything that is on there
[05:50] <ronburgendy> raffleOfKinnians, then take the stick out and throw it back on the computer
[05:50] <raffleOfKinnians> ok ronburgendy
[05:51] <raffleOfKinnians> ronburgendy:  in gparted, the option for reformatting it, is grayed out. I'll try as you said, and unmount it.
[05:51] <TrivialGravitas> is dual booting supported here? If not where?
[05:51] <ronburgendy> raffleOfKinnians, oh sometimes you have to create a partition table for it
[05:52] <onezuff_laptop> ubuntu 14 - how do i make a service that is in /etc/init start at boot?
[05:52] <ronburgendy> click device, then click create partition table and use msdos after you delete everything then save changes
[05:55] <ronburgendy> onezuff_laptop, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto
[05:56] <xubuntu> hi
[05:56] <ronburgendy> TrivialGravitas, They have tons of dual booting support on the ubuntu website
[05:56] <Guest46346> Hi
[05:57] <TrivialGravitas> ronburgendy, You mean the forum, or the guides, the situation is rather specific (Ubuntu already installed, encrypted drive)
[05:58] <ronburgendy> TrivialGravitas, Very well, whats the problem?
[06:00] <TrivialGravitas> How do I resize the partition and how do I make windows not overwrite the bootloader
[06:01] <ronburgendy> depends on how you partitioned it.
[06:01] <TrivialGravitas> root+swap+home
[06:01] <xangua> install windows first
[06:02] <TrivialGravitas> xangua: that'll wipe all my data
[06:02] <raffleOfKinnians> Cool. I think it's going to work now ronburgendy , I had to format it to Fat32 so UNetbootin could talk to it. It apparently can't talk to NFTS file systems. Thnx for the help fam!
[06:02] <ronburgendy> you don't have to install windows first if you know how to use grub
[06:03] <ronburgendy> how many drives do you have TrivialGravitas
[06:03] <ronburgendy> just one?
[06:03] <ronburgendy> raffleOfKinnians, Awesome!
[06:04] <TrivialGravitas> Yeah, this is the backup the main ne died :/
[06:04] <ronburgendy> well how much room do you have if we extend it?
[06:05] <ronburgendy> do you have any unallocated space?
[06:05] <TrivialGravitas> nope
[06:06] <ronburgendy> I think if its a logical partition you can shrink it? I don't know though. gparted will not let you if you can't do it or not.
[06:06] <TrivialGravitas> Putting in windows wasn't on my agenda but things happened
[06:09] <TrivialGravitas> hmm, gparted says no, but that may be because it's mounted, I'll have to boot to USB to look at it
[06:09] <ronburgendy> yep
[06:10] <DirtyCajun> ok. i have my drives from my synology box temporarily mounted. i want to permenantly mount them. i know it goes in fstab. but i cannot get it to tell me their filesystems for the life of me
[06:11] <ronburgendy> scsi harddrives?
[06:11] <DirtyCajun> no they are just sata. and permenantly moved to this box
[06:12] <DirtyCajun> i have tried
[06:12] <DirtyCajun> # df -T | awk '{print $1,$2,$NF}' | grep "^/dev"
[06:12] <DirtyCajun> jk.
[06:12] <DirtyCajun> im an idiot
[06:12] <ronburgendy> lol'
[06:12] <DirtyCajun> would you believe i copied the pound
[06:12] <DirtyCajun> just noticed
[06:12] <ronburgendy> did you get anything from sudo fdisk -l?
[06:12] <DirtyCajun> love you too.
[06:12] <DirtyCajun> fdisk told me everything BUT their filesystem.
[06:13] <ronburgendy> oh right
[06:13] <DirtyCajun> even let me know they were linux raid. just not filesystem.
[06:14] <ronburgendy> did you try blkid?
[06:14] <DirtyCajun> the prior one i posted worked
[06:14] <DirtyCajun> they are all ext4
[06:15] <ronburgendy> i thought thats what you wanted to know
[06:15] <DirtyCajun> i was copying the pound
[06:15] <DirtyCajun> so it wasnt verbosing
[06:15] <DirtyCajun> lol
[06:15] <ronburgendy> oh lol
[06:17] <ronburgendy> DirtyCajun, It's funny because by the time I figure out how to throw awk in there to parse, I would've already figured out the results of the command.
[06:17] <DirtyCajun> hahahahaha
[06:18] <perfekted> hello is anyone here?
[06:18] <perfekted> I need help with sudo software-properties-gtk
[06:18] <perfekted> it gives me failed
[06:18] <Ben64> explain
[06:20] <NeoFrontier> Hi, does anyone here know where evolution 3 saves its signature files ?
[06:20] <NeoFrontier> like the email signatures.
[06:23] <NeoFrontier> ah got it.
[06:29] <ronburgendy> GOODNIGHT UBUNTU
[06:43] <Overlap> What are pushd and popd commands ?
[06:44] <SeriouslyLaugh> Overlap if you're ever curious about a command you can always run man command to see if there's a manual page on it
[06:44] <SeriouslyLaugh> man pushd
[06:44] <Overlap> man isn't installed fot these commands
[06:47] <Shoggoth> Hi!
[06:47] <Overlap> hi
[06:49] <Shoggoth> I’m trying to setup mate desktop on top of an ubuntu server install (15.10)… I’ve done a “apt-get install ubuntu-mate-desktop” and I’ve found that I had to also install mate-session-manager and gnome-session to allow logins but now I’m missing most of the menu icons…. what package do I need to install?
[06:52] <Name141> It's been a while since I wrote a crontab.. is there a way to set it for a specific min as well as the hour?
[06:52] <Name141> is the first setting the min?
[06:53] <slidinghorn> Name141: yes...first setting is the minute, then the hour (24-hour format)    e.g.    45 0    would be 12:45am
[06:54] <Name141> slidinghorn: ah there we are
[06:54] <Name141> slidinghorn: so 55 0 * * * should be 12:55 every day?
[06:54] <Name141> AM
[06:54] <slidinghorn> Name141: yes
[06:56] <Name141> slidinghorn: thus , 20 4 * * * killall wget >/dev/null 2>&1 , should kill wget (if it's still running) at 4:20 AM ?
[06:58] <slidinghorn> Name141: my bash is rusty, but I believe so....beyond the wget is not anything I'd know, honestly lol
[06:58] <Name141> slidinghorn: I gotta download a game and FreeDownloadmanager was acting dumb on this machine :p
[06:59] <Name141> And direct2drive didn't have a PC client with resume anymore..
[06:59] <Name141> long story short , don't get an ISP where only 12-5 AM is unlimited or stuck in the woods
[06:59] <Name141> (where you have to get sat isps)
[06:59] <EriC^^> uget has a time scheduler
[07:00] <Name141> at only 400 KB/sec I'm not even seeing my 12 Mbps
[07:05] <Name141> EriC^^: is that a console downloader too ?
[07:06] <EriC^^> no it's a gui downloader
[07:07] <Name141> EriC^^: Oh, I only ssh in after installs.. Since it's kinda a backup machine
[07:07] <Name141> after XP died
[07:07] <Name141> (I put linux on it)
[07:07] <EriC^^> ah i see
[07:07] <Name141> it's got a CRT monitor that burns my eyes lol
[07:08] <Name141> Anyway, long story short I didn't want to fall asleep tonight and the download go over 5 AM when they start counting again..
[07:08] <Name141> then be down to 20 KB/sec for 30 days
[07:08] <EriC^^> killall wget should do it
[07:09] <Name141> yeah. I totally should move to town.
[07:10] <Name141> Although if SpaceX doesn't blowup ViaSat-2 we're supposed to get real caps

I  am working on project every day and I have code on one virtual desktop, browswer on another one and terminals on the trird one. I have to open everything up everytime I start PC
[07:31] <hateball> maret: Are you using Unity?
[07:32] <hateball> maret: In that case I do not know. If you are using KDE Plasma you can use either Activities or kwin rules. Or a combination.
[07:33] <EriC^^> maret: there's wmctrl
[07:33] <maret> hateball: thanks for the tip
[07:33] <maret> EriC^^: thx Eric will take a look

[08:10] <ikonia> ##hware is the correct channel to talk about device hardware modes
[08:11] <ikonia> ##hardware sorry
[08:11] <waressearcher2> no
[08:11] <waressearcher2> its a linux question
[08:11] <stangeland> Hi how do I extend the time before the screen locks from commandline?
[08:12] <waressearcher2> stangeland: try "sudo vbetool dpms off"
[08:13] <stangeland> waressearcher2, but that will just turn it off entirely no?
[08:14] <waressearcher2> yes
[08:14] <ikonia> stangeland: you'd need to use the gconfig tool, I'd suggest you just use the gui,
[08:15] <ikonia> waressearcher2: that tool sets the different hardware modes of the monitor, the guys in ##hardware can explain what those modes do
[08:16] <mf404> stangeland: xset s number-in-secs
[08:16] <mf404> xset s 600 = 10 min
[08:16] <ikonia> xset won't change the unity lock
[08:16] <slidinghorn> ikonia: stangeland:  could he not use gsettings set?
[08:16] <slidinghorn> oh, nvermind then :)
[08:16] <ikonia> slidinghorn: yup,
[08:20] <slidinghorn> ?  Did I do something & not realize it?
[08:20] <ikonia> slidinghorn: no, it was my accident, I've just send you a pm to apologise
[08:20] <slidinghorn> no worries :)
[08:20] <ikonia> slidinghorn: thank you - totally my mistake/fault
[08:36] <Overlap> What happened to kernel.org
[08:36] <ikonia> nothing to do wtih this channel
[08:36] <Overlap> Hey ikonia, don't be orthodox
[08:36] <ikonia> please keep to the channels topic/function
[08:38] <WINDOZE4LYFE> HI
[08:38] <WINDOZE4LYFE> how do i explain that linux is more secure than windows
[08:38] <WINDOZE4LYFE> :D
[08:38] <Name141> Hm, I wonder how I'd use wget to resume a filename that is different? maybe with -O ?
[08:39] <Name141> wget -c -O whatthefileoriginallywas ?
[08:39] <ikonia> WINDOZE4LYFE: you don't
[08:39] <Name141> URL
[08:39] <WINDOZE4LYFE> haha
[08:39] <WINDOZE4LYFE> i will just give up
[08:39] <therue> other than /r/unixporn and dotshare.it, are there no centralized place on the net for linux desktop ricing/modding? to find new ideas for configs and layouts
[08:39] <WINDOZE4LYFE> he nhas no chance in life
[08:39] <WINDOZE4LYFE> thx
[08:39] <Name141> yeah there we go
[08:39] <WINDOZE4LYFE> He is
[08:39] <ikonia> WINDOZE4LYFE: please be quiet
[08:40] <Name141> -O oldfilename, but filename?NewAccesskeyblahblah , worked
[08:40] <Name141> I don't know why I can't put in my LA Noire key in Rockstar Warehouse like I did GTAV..
[08:40] <Name141> and use it's pause/resume
[08:40]  * Name141 shrugs
[08:45] <easyOnMe> just recently I observed that my ubuntu has be running a bit slow as before
[08:45] <easyOnMe> can anyone help me figure out what I did to cause this
[08:45] <easyOnMe> I am using ubuntu 14.04LTS
[08:45] <ikonia> what makes you think it's slow
[08:46] <ikonia> visual slow, or slow doing tasks
[08:46] <easyOnMe> visual slow and at times slow doing tasks
[08:47] <easyOnMe> I observed this because I use to use an IDE that opens pretty fast
[08:47] <ikonia> easyOnMe: what is the speed/spec of your CPU/RAM
[08:47] <easyOnMe> now it takes quite some time to open
[08:47] <easyOnMe> how will I know that
[08:47] <easyOnMe> what command shall I issue on the terminal
[08:47] <ikonia> you don't know your CPU speed or how much ram you have ?
[08:48] <easyOnMe> ikonia: please tell me the terminal command to get all these info
[08:48] <hateball> easyOnMe: lscpu
[08:48] <hateball> easyOnMe: and "free -m", the Mem: Total is the interesting bit
[08:48] <hateball> !paste | easyOnMe
[08:49] <easyOnMe> 2970280 that is the MEM Total
[08:50] <easyOnMe>  2100.000 CPU MHz
[08:50] <easyOnMe> is my laptop really slow
[08:51] <hateball> easyOnMe: so you have 3GB available RAM. Is this a laptop that has shared memory with intel gpu?
[08:51] <easyOnMe> hateball: I do not know is the laptop has a share memory with intel gpu
[08:51] <easyOnMe> how will I know that
[08:51] <easyOnMe> any command to issue on the terminal to know that
[08:54] <hateball> easyOnMe: lspci|grep VGA
[08:54] <hateball> easyOnMe: and to find your laptop model: sudo dmidecode |grep -i "product name"
[08:55] <Bish> are there any kind of auto updates on an ubuntu server activated by default?
[08:55] <hateball> anyhow, it should be "fast enough", but you havent told us what IDE you are using. Perhaps it is a rather bloated thing
[08:55] <hateball> Bish: If you enable it during install, it will automatically install security updates
[08:55] <easyOnMe> hateball: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10)
[08:56] <Bish> hateball: well, more specificially, it was preinstalled by hetzner, a german hosting company
[08:56] <hateball> Bish: I do not work there
[08:56] <Bish> well i figured :D but how can i tell if any updates were made automaticially
[08:58] <hateball> Bish: https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/automatic-updates.html
[08:58] <Bish> yeah i found this already, but left me cluesless
[08:58] <Bish> if unattended-upgrades is not installed? there are no automatic updates?
[08:58] <Bish> im usually not a ubuntu user, it feels all pretty weird to me
[08:58] <hateball> You can install configure that in a number of ways, through cron scripts etc
[08:59] <hateball> s/install/still
[08:59] <hateball> easyOnMe: Googling suggests that chipset is poorly supported, but that should have no impact on load times for your IDE. Perhaps your HDD is old and tired
[08:59] <sruli> hi, i created a user upstart job to exec at logout, the script runs but logout completes before script finished executing, how can i tell the upstart job to halt logout/shutdown process until script completes?
[09:00] <easyOnMe> hateball: oh really wow that is interesting
[09:00] <easyOnMe> ok
[09:00] <easyOnMe> so its old hardware then
[09:00] <hateball> easyOnMe: I don't know about that, it just says poor supported
[09:01] <easyOnMe> hateball: but you mentioned that HDD is old and tired
[09:03] <hateball> easyOnMe: I was merely saying it could be. You can install smartmontools and check with smartctl
[09:03] <easyOnMe> those are for what?
[09:04] <Bish> bot those uptes would still be seen inside the normal apt log right?
[09:04] <hateball> easyOnMe: To check S.M.A.R.T data on your HDD
[09:04] <Bish> s/bot/but
[09:04] <hateball> Bish: yes, in /var/log/apt/history*
[09:04] <easyOnMe> oh ok
[09:36] <GladiaTeur> how to install mod_evasive apache module on ubuntu 14.04
[09:44] <slidinghorn> GladiaTeur: it should be in the repos       sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-evasive
[09:44] <anon9909> is it possible to triple boot windows, mac and linux
[09:44] <anon9909> #?
[09:45] <GladiaTeur> thanks slidinghorn
[09:45] <baizon> anon9909: yes
[09:48] <AtuM> anon9909, all @ once even :)
[09:48] <IamTrying> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14025513/ - can anyone please tell me how to execute the Chrome on Ubuntu 15.10 its failing.
[09:49] <GladiaTeur> it is ufw usefull for firewall on wordpress vps ( ubuntu 14.04 ) with apache modules mod_security & mod_evasive is that enough?
[09:50] <ikonia> IamTrying: use the package provided by ubuntu
[09:51] <ikonia> IamTrying: why are you setting DISPLAY too
[09:51] <IamTrying> ikonia: i cant because i need urgent chrome old version cant use 47 which is provided by Ubuntu
[09:51] <ikonia> you should not need to set DISPLAY
[09:51] <IamTrying> ikonia: without display same issue
[09:52] <ikonia> why are you setting it though ?
[09:52] <ikonia> you'd need someone to do an analysis on the coredump
[09:55] <IamTrying> How do i get the Chromium 46 using apt-get? (i cant use 47 current versions i have violation issues)
[09:56] <zjh> my latest version is 45
[09:56] <ikonia> IamTrying: what version of ubuntu are you running
[09:56] <IamTrying> ikonia: Ubuntu 15.10
[09:56] <zjh> mine is 15.04
[09:57] <zjh> But I use XUbuntu instead
[09:57] <ikonia> IamTrying: so the old version will not be in that repo
[09:58] <Haris> hello all
[09:58] <Haris> I have passwordauthentication yes in my /etc/ssh/sshd_config. why is it not accepting pass, and only wanting key based auth ?
[09:58] <IamTrying> ikonia: its here but that failed: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-continuous/index.html?prefix=Linux_x64/344445/
[09:58] <Haris> this is trusty 14.04.3
[09:59] <IamTrying> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14025513/ - this is the failed prompt when i trying to run version 46: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-continuous/index.html?prefix=Linux_x64/344445/
[09:59] <ikonia> IamTrying: thats not an ubuntu package
[09:59] <Haris> I can login with key, but not with password
[10:01] <idx> hai
[10:01] <IamTrying> ikonia: i need urgent Chromium 46 or older version for ubuntu 15.10 its violation to use the current version. can you please advise where i can get it?
[10:01] <RepThis1> theres only 1700 people here? man thats hardly a party.
[10:02] <ikonia> IamTrying: repeating it over and over and over in every channel won't change the facts
[10:02] <idx> how to playing bot on this ?
[10:02] <Haris> will attend to this one, later on
[10:02] <ikonia> idx?
[10:04] <IamTrying> ikonia: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-continuous/index.html?prefix=Linux/344445/ - is this compatible for Ubuntu ?
[10:04] <ikonia> IamTrying: it is a generic build
[10:05] <adun153> I have a laptop with a 960m. whenever I try to use nvidia-352-updates or nvidia-358, I do get to the login screen on lightdm, but right after logging in, it crashes back to the login screen. dmesg shows that compiz segfaults with error 4 in libc-2.21.so. Switching back to nouveau allows me to login to the desktop properly again. What am I doing wrong?
[10:06] <slidinghorn> IamTrying: I answered your question in ##linux, but you'd left already.  Long story short, It's highly NOT recommended to downgrade so far back...security reasons, and also, you'd have to get it from a PPA, which would not be supported here
[10:06] <RickyB98> why am i getting this? run-parts: failed to open directory /etc/config/crons: Not a directory (hourly via mail to root from crontab)
[10:07] <rehabmodz> anybody know how or do u have a good tutorial to install an irc bot? this tut didn't work for me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1028042
[10:07] <Bish> i guess /etc/config/crons is not a directory
[10:07] <RickyB98> Bish, correct
[10:07] <RickyB98> is it supposed to be?
[10:07] <RickyB98> coz it's a file having some script having to do with authorized_keys
[10:08] <Bish> well, you have an entry in you crontabs somewhere, which is trying to execute everything inside that folder
[10:08] <rehabmodz> lol u guys straight up ignore meh
[10:08] <Bish> RickyB98: try grep -ir run_parts /etc/
[10:08] <IamTrying> slidinghorn: thank you, any reference to the PPA?
[10:08] <Bish> rehabmodz: try patience.
[10:08] <RickyB98> no output
[10:09] <RickyB98> and ugh my dumbness, copied "try" in terminal
[10:09] <slidinghorn> rehabmodz: please understand, this is all volunteer support....if no one knows the answer to your question, no one will answer.  Best bet is to stick around, read up on your issue, and ask again in about 20 minutes or so
[10:09] <rehabmodz> Bish okay can u help me??
[10:09] <cfhowlett> !patience | rehabmodz,
[10:09] <RepThis1> are cbtnuggets worth it?
[10:09] <RickyB98> anyway Bish, no output
[10:10] <dupingping> hey, everyone.
[10:10] <rehabmodz> hey
[10:10] <dupingping> Who knows about spice xpi for Ubuntu?
[10:10] <slidinghorn> rehabmodz: what problems are you having when following this tutorial you linked?
[10:11] <rehabmodz> it is not working for me
[10:11] <rehabmodz> 4. Now we are editing the simple.conf configuration file. This simple file has very self-explanatory comments to explain what each setting does. Edit them to suit your needs. There are very few things you need to change, and each line has instructions preceding it. The only thing you must take care of is this line:
[10:11] <slidinghorn> rehabmodz: "not working" could be a billion things....please provide more details...
[10:11] <slidinghorn> !details
[10:12] <rehabmodz> when i go to edit the simple.conf nothing is there it's completely blank and i don't know why
[10:13] <IamTrying> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14025652/ - installation is failing. any idea?
[10:13] <rehabmodz> i don't think so because the installation went fine in terminal with no errors
[10:13] <slidinghorn> rehabmodz: did you see any errors when downloading or extracting the file?
[10:13] <rehabmodz> nope
[10:14] <slidinghorn> rehabmodz: you're sure?  because I just did it and it's exactly what it's supposed to be
[10:14] <rehabmodz> i updated and refreshed all my packages and then tried reinstalling it again and the same thing the simple.conf is still blank
[10:14] <cfhowlett> IamTrying, clearly stated, line 11.  this is why is recommended over dpkg install.  install the missing package.
[10:15] <cfhowlett> IamTrying, line 9 has your missinig item
[10:16] <IamTrying> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14025671/ - see line 24
[10:16] <rehabmodz> one sec let me try this
[10:17] <IamTrying> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14025675/ - see line 38 cfhowlett, its going all wrong
[10:17] <IamTrying> cfhowlett: line 85 again went back to version 47 instead of 45
[10:17] <rehabmodz> yo i'm so confused we are seeing totally diffrenet things
[10:18] <IamTrying> this is horrible. its a violation someone help me please to get the chromium lesser then 47 kindly.
[10:18] <RickyB98> sorry for bumping that, can someone help me why crontab is giving this error every hour and send it to me via mail? run-parts: failed to open directory /etc/config/crons: Not a directory
[10:19] <RickyB98> ugh that sentence
[10:19] <RickyB98> help me figure out*
[10:19] <rehabmodz> this is my output in terminal...
[10:20] <Ben64> RickyB98: probably because something running in cron expects /etc/config/crons to exist
[10:20] <rehabmodz> rehabmodz@rehabmodz-Vostro-1500:~$ sudo apt-get install eggdrop
[10:20] <rehabmodz> [sudo] password for rehabmodz:
[10:20] <rehabmodz> Reading package lists... Done
[10:20] <rehabmodz> Building dependency tree
[10:20] <rehabmodz> Reading state information... Done
[10:20] <rehabmodz> eggdrop is already the newest version.
[10:20] <slidinghorn> rehabmodz: be sure to use the pastebin for multiple lines
[10:20] <RickyB98> Ben64, that's a file, it is expecting it to be a directory
[10:20] <slidinghorn> !paste | rehabmodz
[10:20] <RickyB98> but dunno what's running it
[10:20] <RickyB98> not really good at crontab
[10:20] <slidinghorn> (whenever the bot lets you talk again)
[10:21] <adun153> let's say I want to re-install "ubuntu-desktop" (which is a metapackage, if I'm not mistaken), and all of the packages it refers to. What is the command to do that?
[10:21] <Ben64> RickyB98: well figure out which cron it is and fix it
[10:21] <slidinghorn> adun153: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop     should do it
[10:22] <adun153> slidinghorn: even if the package is already installed?
[10:24] <jonah> Hi can anyone please help for some reason I'm getting an error when I try load up Inkscape "inkscape: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgiomm-2.4.so.1: undefined symbol: _ZN4Glib11VariantTypeD1Ev"
[10:24] <ikonia> jonah: how did you install inkscape ?
[10:25] <RickyB98> Ben64, might this be the guilty line? http://puu.sh/lWicL/e85e8f52ec.png
[10:25] <Ben64> RickyB98: yep. weird that you posted a picture of text, but yep
[10:25] <jonah> ikonia: first through the standard ubuntu repo, but then removed it and tried the inkscape ppa but still get same error there too
[10:25] <RickyB98> sorry, my terminal wouldn't let me copy plain text
[10:26] <slidinghorn> adun153: If you've removed parts of the metapackage, I believe it would pull them back in (at least the dependencies)
[10:26] <ikonia> jonah: so put it back to the standard version, and that can be worked through
[10:26] <slidinghorn> adun153: what did you remove that you're looking to get back?
[10:26] <RickyB98> Ben64, who do you think that line was added by and why?
[10:26] <Ben64> RickyB98: no way for me to know that
[10:26] <RickyB98> what does run-parts do?
[10:26] <IamTrying> Can someone fucking make the Chrome 46 old versions available for Ubuntu 15.10? its fucking violation in many companies to use above 47 because of there screwed http not allowed to use https.
[10:26] <Ben64> man run-parts
[10:27] <jonah> ikonia: hi thanks - the standard version also gives the same error...
[10:27] <RickyB98> i knew you were gonna tell me to man it haha
[10:27] <Ben64> first line explains it :)
[10:27] <mcphail> IamTrying: stop that please. Moderate your language or leave.
[10:27] <RickyB98> alright..
[10:28] <adun153> slidinghorn: Unity just plain crashes with a segfault when I use proprietary nvidia drivers
[10:29] <adun153> I installed from the mini.iso.
[10:30] <adun153> Is there a way to re-install "ubuntu-desktop" and ALL of its dependecies ?
[10:30] <RickyB98> Ben64, i just commented that line
[10:30] <RickyB98> thanks :-)
[10:30] <Ben64> you might want to keep the hourly part
[10:30] <RickyB98> are scripts in /etc/cron.hourly going to be run anyway?
[10:31] <Ben64> maybe, not sure what you got going on there
[10:31] <RickyB98> got nothing going on with crontab, tho i was wondering if cron.hourly was a built-in feature of crontab to run scripts in that folder every hour by default
[10:32] <Ben64> well someone changed stuff there, so who knows what else is different
[10:32] <RickyB98> it's weird.. why do i always get weird systems..
[10:32] <RickyB98> all the problems come my way :'D
[10:36] <sruli> i created a user upstart job to exec at logout, the script runs but logout completes before script finished executing, how can i tell the upstart job to halt logout/shutdown process until script completes?
[10:39] <idx> php fuck.php
[10:39] <slidinghorn> !language | idx
[10:39] <cfhowlett> idx drop the profanity
[10:40] <idx> how to playing bot ?
[10:40] <idx> on IRC ?
[10:41] <cfhowlett> idx, this is ubuntu support. stay on topic or find a more useful channel.
[10:42] <slidinghorn> sruli: Have you seen this answer?  Does it help?  http://askubuntu.com/questions/421923/how-can-i-make-sure-one-upstart-job-stops-before-another-upstart-job-stops
[10:45] <sruli> slidinghorn: thanks, where do i put this script? the logic tells me i need to put it in the sys loggoff/shutdown scripts
[10:46] <TJ-> sruli: are you still trying to figure out how to cause a command to be run when the user of an ecrytpfs-ecnrypted $HOME logs-out ?
[10:46] <sruli> TJ-: yes
[10:46] <sruli> TJ-: i know how to run it, i need a way to allow the script to complete before logoff
[10:47] <TJ-> sruli: "man 1 bash" and see INVOCATION and FILES: ~/.bash_logout
[10:47] <sruli> TJ-: thats when logging out of terminal (ssh) not from gui
[10:48] <TJ-> sruli: It's when bash ends a *login* session
[10:49] <TJ-> sruli: otherwise, you need to use something in the Xsession config since you're wanting to do something on close of the user's session
[10:50] <TJ-> sruli: alternatively, you may be able to use "dbus-launch --exit-with-session ..." to start your script at log-in, have a TRAP in the script for exit, and run your commands from the TRAP
[10:52] <arild_> testing out this
[10:53] <TJ-> arild_: we see you
[10:54] <arild_> :)
[10:55] <sruli> TJ-: i already tested using bash_logout, dosnt work for gui session, can you help me some more with dbus-launch exit? where do i do what?
[10:56] <TJ-> sruli: Then the easiest would be to add a 'waiting' script to the log-in itself. This script contains a "trap SIGTERM" and "trap SIGKILL" that both call the function you want to execute. The only other thing this script does is run an endless while loop with a sleep inside it
[10:59] <sruli> TJ-: the endless loop wont effect performance, right? and do u know where i can find a sample script?
[11:05] <RepThis1> anyone try cbtnuggets?
[11:05] <TJ-> sruli: right, a "sleep 10" would keep it idle for 10 seconds at a time. I'm wondering though if there's something in the PAM config you could use. For example, there's pam_exec (see "man 8 pam_exec"), and there are many other PAM modules. That way you can guarantee your script runs no matter how the user logs in
[11:07] <idx> s
[11:07] <TJ-> sruli: and here's how to do that: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/136548/force-command-to-be-run-on-logout-or-disconnect#136552
[11:08] <RickyB98> i configured postfix to use Maildir, however mails are still going to mbox.. how do i change that?
[11:08] <TJ-> sruli: your script would then only need to differentiate between a LOGIN and LOGOUT. I think PAM sets env vars you can check for that
[11:09] <TJ-> sruli: as in " if [ "$PAM_TYPE" = "close_session" ]; then ..."
[11:10] <sruli> TJ-: was about to type that, so that line takes care of when to exec, right?
[11:10] <slidinghorn> RickyB98: sudo postconf -e "home_mailbox = Maildir/"        then restart postfix  (Source:  http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/67689/linux-use-maildir-instead-of-mbox
[11:10] <TJ-> sruli: right... your script will get called twice, at open_session and close_session, and you have it only react to the close_session
[11:10] <RickyB98> thanks
[11:11] <sruli> TJ-: thanks will test now
[11:12] <sruli> TJ-: the pam file i should use is common-session or common-account?
[11:12] <RickyB98> slidinghorn, it's still using mbox..
[11:13] <RickyB98> i did restart postfix.
[11:13] <RickyB98> still didn't work

[11:15] <RickyB98> slidinghorn, fmaster user does not exist.. is it supposed to exist?
[11:16] <TJ-> sruli: as you're tying this to ecryptfs, I'd put it where-ever you find "pam_ecryptfs.so unwrap". Do "grep 'pam_ecryptfs\.so unwrap' /etc/pam.d/*" to find those.
[11:16] <slidinghorn> RickyB98: I'd recommend following this guide, as it's the official documentation - with it, it will have you set up your fmaster mailbox:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto
[11:16] <TJ-> sruli: your script might also want to check that the current user does in fact have a mounted encrypted home, but checking /proc/mounts
[11:17] <RickyB98> okay thanks
[11:17] <RickyB98> i guess it's due to procmail
[11:22] <sruli> TJ-: none of the files in pam.d contain any ecrypt reference, the home dir is ecryptfs i see it in ~/
[11:22] <anabain> Will using autofs avoid the nasty kde desktop hanging I get whenever I shutdown my other nfs sharing box?
[11:23] <anabain> If not, is there anything that can be done in order to avoid it?
[11:23] <TJ-> sruli: if there is no reference to ecryptfs in PAM then it's not being used, unless you've set it up in some very weird way
[11:24] <sruli> TJ-: i set it up at sys install time
[11:28] <TJ-> sruli: well, for it to work there need to be pam_ecryptfs.so references in those /etc/pam.d/ configs
[11:28] <TJ-> sruli: ecryptfs-utils includes the PAM template in the file /usr/share/pam-configs/ecryptfs-utils
[11:29] <anabain> And another question nfs related: is it possible to make that devices attached to /media/user that have been plugged *after* mounting the nfs /media share be browseable/writable from the "client"?
[11:29] <lubuntu> t
[11:32] <RepThis1> Anyone figure out how to use the dark theme for gnome and get it to not show text in white in some fields like youtube?
[11:32] <RepThis1> as a self proclaimed vampire i am sensitive to the white light and would prefer the dark theme
[11:34] <TJ-> RepThis1: that's a common issue unfortunately; designers want you to see what they prefer, rather than always using the system's theme - I see the same issues with KDE and others
[11:34] <sruli> TJ-: dont know how i didnt see it, i have ecrypt_fs in common-auth, common-password & common-session, i should put it in all of those?
[11:34] <RickyB98> i configured sasl on postfix and dovecot, but my client can still use SMTP without logging in.. authentication works, but no login works too
[11:35] <RickyB98> how can i restrict that?
[11:35] <TJ-> sruli: only the entries where the argument is "unwrap" ... so when your script triggers it should be related
[11:35] <RepThis1> TJ-: i found a solution, however it is not always consistent. it involves adding a .css file in the .local/ firefox profile to try to reconfigure the html ccs i imagine
[11:36] <sruli> TJ-: unwrap is in common-auth & common-session
[11:36] <TJ-> RickyB98: you might find answers in #ubuntu-server for postfix issues
[11:36] <RickyB98> okay thanks
[11:36] <TJ-> sruli: yes. the common-password is to ensure the wrapper password stays in sync
[11:37] <oIo> hi all
[11:38] <TJ-> sruli: there should be an 'unwrap' entry in common-session-noninteractive as well
[11:38] <sruli> TJ-: so i put it in both? (common-session & common password?)
[11:38] <TJ-> sruli: not in -password, only in the files that pass the 'unwrap' option
[11:39] <sruli> TJ-: i am ignoring the non-interactive as ecrypt-fs does not mount on a non gui session. common-pass also has unwrap
[11:41] <sruli> TJ-: sorry, typo, common-auth and common-session have unwrap, not common-password

[11:53] <rob``> What's the difference between /usr/lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.9-{posix,win32} ?
[11:59] <TJ-> rob``: check the headers in both paths for the same file (e.g. "include/objc/objc-decls.h" - look at the calling conventions

[12:22] <sruli> TJ-: it doesnt work, in auth.log i see PAM complain about invalid ELF header see log and my script at paste.ubuntu.com/14026417
[12:23] <slidinghorn> dcrouch2: first...are you using any of those kernel headers it's saying you don't need?       sudo apt-get autoremove
[12:24] <dcrouch2> slidinghorn, Still getting the same.  http://fpaste.org/301037/45018226/

[12:26] <holucon> mcphail, thanks! I'll take a look
[12:28] <slidinghorn> dcrouch2: you did do the autoremove, right?    if so, I want to see what happens if you restart, then   sudo apt-get update     again
[12:29] <davesidious> Hey folks!  I'm using Unity, and for some reason the clock on the bar is showing in German.  I'm in Germany, and I believe it detected that.  I've set everything to English, but this still remains.  Does anyone have any ideas?
[12:30] <sruli> davesidious: click on the clock > time & date settings > location
[12:30] <dcrouch2> slidinghorn, yes.
[12:30] <davesidious> sruli - the location is fine.  I want the time and date in Germany, but not in German :)
[12:31] <Trell> hey guys
[12:31] <slidinghorn> davesidious: http://askubuntu.com/questions/265753/how-to-change-date-time-format-to-english
[12:32] <davesidious> thanks - I'll give it a go.  Reboot to change this setting?  Madness :-P
[12:32] <slidinghorn> davesidious: Only because it's asking you to change something that also has to do with the login screen
[12:33] <VathSathya> Hello guys
[12:33]  * VathSathya Hello guys
[12:34] <slidinghorn> hi VathSathya...do you have an ubuntu support request?
[12:34] <VathSathya> Ubuntu phone ROM sir :D
[12:34] <VathSathya> I am using Mi 4i, how to port it into the Mi 4i?
[12:36] <DJones> !touch | VathSathya Probably best asking in the Ubuntu phone channel for that,
[12:40] <TJ-> sruli: "invalid ELF header" - it expects an *exectuable*, so you need to call the *shell* executable, passing it the name of the script, as per the example in "man 8 pam_exec" I referred you to earlier
[12:41] <sruli> TJ-: oh, so when i used 'quiet' in auth.log it complained that file dosent exists, i remove 'quiet' so it complains elf header
[12:47] <dcrouch2> slidinghorn, still the same issue.  http://fpaste.org/301047/83605145/

[12:50] <OneThatLearns> Is there a easy way to make it so that when you sftp into server (sftp://user@domain.tld), the default directory will be a predefined one other than the default /home/username/ ? I would like to have /home/username/ftp
[12:52] <konalo> hello all
[12:55] <gdi2k> OneThatLearns, sftp://user@domain.tld/username/ftp ?
[12:55] <shookees> hi
[12:56] <gdi2k> OneThatLearns, sftp://user@domain.tld/home/username/ftp ?
[12:57] <OneThatLearns> gdi2k: That is correct, can use that connection, was wondering if sftp://user@domain.tld could go automatically to a predefined location without specifying in the connection url
[12:57] <_ryan_> dcrouch2 it's slidinghorn...on my phone outside... what were you originally trying to do when you came across this problem?
[12:57] <gdi2k> OneThatLearns, in nautilus / thunar?
[12:58] <_ryan_> OneThatLearns yes, it will take you to the user's home directory
[12:58] <dcrouch2> _ryan_, apt-get upgrade
[12:58] <gdi2k> OneThatLearns, you could just drag a shortcut to the shortcut bar on the left once you are in the right location
[12:59] <_ryan_> dcrouch2 were you trying to update something specific? What had you installed / changed since your last update(s)?
[12:59] <vijayanand> hello
[13:00] <OneThatLearns> _ryan_ : yes but i want another predefined path than just homefolder i want Homedir/ftp gdi2k : this will be independent of file explorers. was hoping one could use both filezilla, sftp in terminal, nautilus. a new preset default folder
[13:00] <vijayanand> I recently bought a laptop with ubuntu preinstalled and have been having some issues.

[13:01] <stangeland> Hi. I am running a ubuntu system and sometimes the X-server seems to suddently just crash. Machine becomes totally unresponsive, however i can still SSH to the machine and background processes etc. also keep running. Is there any way to debug what is actually causing this?
[13:02] <_ryan_> stangeland anything in /var/log/x-session-errors?
[13:03] <gdi2k> OneThatLearns, that would be a server side adjustment then - I'm not sure if SSH has that option, but it does have a very large and thorough man page...
[13:03] <slidinghorn> stangeland & dcrouch2  I'm back at my computer  (was under _ryan_ )
[13:03] <TJ-> stangeland: _ryan_ that's (for the user) "$HOME/.xsession-errors" or (for the X server) "/var/log/Xorg.0.log"
[13:04] <OneThatLearns> gdi2k: yes it is server side, i have tried configuring sshd_config file using the chroot option, but that is more for limiting the ftp users access
[13:04] <slidinghorn> TJ-: ah, thanks for the correction (cc stangeland)
[13:04] <odt> anyone here with a sandybridge intel integrated gpu willing to check mainline kernel 4.3.x ?
[13:04] <dcrouch2> slidinghorn, I think I may have corrected that issue.
[13:04] <gdi2k> OneThatLearns, there is this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/626533/how-can-i-ssh-directly-to-a-particular-directory - but it's a client side config again...
[13:04] <slidinghorn> dcrouch2: do tell!
[13:05] <OneThatLearns> gdi2k: thx but i want this configured server side
[13:05] <dcrouch2> Too early to tell, there's a different on now.  But basically, dpkg --purge --force-depends libssl1.0.0:amd64  And re-installed.
[13:05] <OneThatLearns> gdi2k: but thanks alot for all the input! :)
[13:05] <OneThatLearns> appreciate
[13:06] <ioria> OneThatLearns, as you said the way may be chroot, (http://www.linuxtechi.com/configure-chroot-sftp-in-linux/), otherwise you can make a script with the temporary default home , and run it instead of the sftp command
[13:07] <castoch> Hello, I'm trying to use Wammu   & Gammu but i can't find my USB port name someone can help ?
[13:08] <cfhowlett> castoch, lsusb
[13:10] <castoch> I try with lsusb & lshw -numeric but i don't find what is the form of the string "usb port name"
[13:10] <vijayanand> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14026806/plain/
[13:11] <vijayanand> not sure if I'm using paste bin correctly, but I've tried my best to describe my problem here http://paste.ubuntu.com/14026806/plain/
[13:12] <solsTiCe> castoch: ttyUSB* ? look at http://wammu.eu/docs/manual/faq/general.html#device-name-always-changes-on-linux-how-to-solve-that
[13:17] <unkn0w> hello everybody, just installed ubuntu mate on my laptop for the first time, looks and feels great
[13:21] <TJ-> castoch: it'll likely be something from "ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*"
[13:23] <TJ-> castoch: generally checking "dmesg | grep -B 10 ttyUSB" will help you identify which device it is
[13:24] <castoch> Thanks
[13:28] <castoch> I doesn't have ttyUSB
[13:28] <TJ-> castoch: how about /dev/ttyACM
[13:30] <TJ-> !screenshot | vijayanand: your issue sounds like the kernel is hitting some problem. It would help if you were able to take a photo of the screen as soon as those messages start and share it with us
[13:31] <vijayanand> Okay, I will restart my laptop and see if it happens again.
[13:31] <TJ-> vijayanand: obviously you'd need to use a camera not the PrtScr function :)
[13:31] <vijayanand> yep :)
[13:32] <stangeland> slidinghorn, yeah i have a log there
[13:34] <stangeland> slidinghorn, TJ- this is my xorg log file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14026998/ Can you see anything suspecious there?
[13:36] <vijayanand> I was able to restart this time without any issue. It seems that the problem only occurs when I install all the updates (540 MB). I could do that and then see, but it takes a long time and bandwidth. Is there any way to check if I have a kernel issue without installing the updates?
[13:38] <TJ-> stangeland: nothing obvious there; try showing us $HOME/.xsession-errors
[13:38] <Diplomat> Hey guys, I have a quick question.. I have been reinstalling ubuntu server like 5 times for now , but every time it tells me error: filesystem unknown or something like that in grub, not sure what i doing wrong also it's not my first time to install ubuntu
[13:38] <TJ-> stangeland: you'd probably need to grab that via SSH when the crash happens
[13:39] <TJ-> Diplomat: that suggests GRUB cannot access its 'root' file-system (the file-system with /boot/grub/)
[13:40] <Diplomat> Yup, and when I do ls it shows me: hd0, hd0,gpt1-4 and all of them have "filesystem unknown"
[13:40] <castoch> I doesn't have ttyACM too
[13:40] <TJ-> Diplomat: is it using any form of RAID, LVM, cryptodisk ?
[13:41] <Diplomat> RAID10 yes
[13:41] <TJ-> castoch: maybe the device isn't recognised by a driver ?
[13:41] <Diplomat> + one partition has lvm.. like physical partition
[13:41] <TJ-> Diplomat: Is the RAID hardware, fake, or software (mdadm) ?
[13:41] <Diplomat> It's hardware
[13:42] <TJ-> Diplomat: so 'hd0' is the hardware array itself as presented by the controller?
[13:42] <Diplomat> I think so yes
[13:42] <castoch> i will try find the driver
[13:42] <Diplomat> I'm rebuilding all partitions again and see whats up, but it's slow as hell lol over ipmi
[13:43] <sruli> TJ-: when i pass the option 'quiet' or 'type=session_close' in pam log file says no such file i checked /lib/security/ and the only file is pam_ecrypt_fs.so
[13:43] <yao_ziyuan> just upgraded from 14.04 to 15.10. the only problem now is the login screen and wallpaper is still 14.04's. how do i update this?
[13:43] <TJ-> Diplomat: when GRUB is at its 'rescue>' prompt that means it has loaded its core.img but that file doesn't contain all the modules needed to mount the file-system containing its $root, or $root cannot be found. Your symptoms sound like the former
[13:43] <cfhowlett> yao_ziyuan, lsb_release -a | nc termbin.com 9999            in a terminal
[13:43] <Diplomat> TJ-: former ?
[13:44] <yao_ziyuan> cfhowlett:  it shows "No LSB modules are available." and then stalls. perhaps china blocked termbin.com?
[13:44] <TJ-> sruli: there's no such file as "pam_ecrypt_fs.so" in Ubuntu
[13:44] <TJ-> Diplomat: former = 'modules needed to mount ...'
[13:44] <cfhowlett> yao_ziyuan, nope.  try cat /etc/issue
[13:45] <yao_ziyuan> Ubuntu 15.10 \n \l
[13:45] <cfhowlett> yao_ziyuan,  did you clean install 15.10 or do an in-place upgrade
[13:45] <TJ-> Diplomat: core.img is an executable compiled and linked by "grub-install" which *should* detect and link in all the modules required to mount GRUB's root
[13:45] <yao_ziyuan> cfhowlett: in-place upgrade
[13:46] <Diplomat> TJ- What's interesting is that every time I arrive to partition disks page in Ubuntu installer.. I can see that /sda4 havent been mounted anywhere
[13:46] <Diplomat> but Im very sure that I mounted it to /
[13:46] <sruli> TJ-: in /lib/security/ i have pam_ecryptfs.so
[13:46] <sruli> TJ-: but no other files
[13:46] <TJ-> sruli: right, but not "pam_ecrypt_fs.so" - the underscores are important!
[13:46] <stangeland> TJ-, ahhh ok. thx. Yeah because now it just says: Script for ibus started at run_im.
[13:48] <TJ-> sruli: "pam_exec quiet /bin/bash /path/to/script"
[13:48] <TJ-> stangeland: that file is re-created on each boot so you have to get to it after the crash, and before a fresh GUI login, in order to preserve its content
[13:48] <stangeland> TJ-, ahhhh right ok
[13:50] <yao_ziyuan> cfhowlett: in my vbox i have a cleanly installed 15.10 so i can see 15.10 have a new set of wallpapers, but they are not in my upgraded 15.10 host machine. how do i manually install 15.10's wallpapers?
[13:50] <skypebot2000> I'm trying to install skype on ubuntu 14.04 from the software center, but I keep getting an error: "skype: Depends: skype-bin but it is a virtual package". How can I fix this and use skype on ubuntu?
[13:50] <cfhowlett> yao_ziyuan, where are those files?
[13:51] <slidinghorn> yao_ziyuan: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM#Changing_the_Wallpaper
[13:51] <cfhowlett> !skype | skypebot2000
[13:51] <skypebot2000> cfhowlett: I've already tried those steps, but I keep getting the same error
[13:52] <yao_ziyuan> cfhowlett: /usr/share/backgrounds
[13:52] <cfhowlett> skypebot2000, sorry, I've never had that error
[13:52] <cfhowlett> yao_ziyuan, have you rebooted since upgrade?
[13:52] <yao_ziyuan> cfhowlett: yes
[13:53] <yao_ziyuan> cfhowlett: perhaps the associated package didn't install properly.
[13:53] <cfhowlett> yao_ziyuan, see the link above from slidinghorn
[13:53] <skypebot2000> cfhowlett: its from the software center, via apt-get I get "skype: DEpends : skype-bin. You have broken packages"
[13:53] <yao_ziyuan> how do i know which package provides /usr/share/backgrounds/Tranquil_by_Pat_David.jpg?
[13:54] <skypebot2000> yao_ziyuan: dpkg -S
[13:54] <cfhowlett> yao_ziyuan, the package will be ubuntu_backgrounds.deb or very similar.  you can find it in your .iso or the .iso manifest
[13:54] <TJ-> yao_ziyuan: "dpkg -S /path/to/file" or, if not installed, "apt-file search /path/to/file"
[13:54] <OerHeks> skypebot2000, does the error suggest "apt-get install -f" ??
[13:55] <OerHeks> else run updates for the :386 version
[13:55] <skypebot2000> OerHeks: no,and running apt-get install -f skype gives the same error
[13:55] <yao_ziyuan> i see. these packages didn't install somehow. installing them now.
[13:55] <cfhowlett> yao_ziyuan, wait,  you said you HAD the 15.04 papers???!
[13:55] <yao_ziyuan> very weirdly, my upgraded 15.10 has wallpapers from debian...
[13:56] <cfhowlett> yao_ziyuan, where did you get this .iso??
[13:56] <sruli> TJ-: you mean pam_exec.so ?
[13:56] <yao_ziyuan> cfhowlett: i didn't have the 15.10 wallpapers until now i installed ubuntu-wallpapers.
[13:56] <TJ-> sruli: right :P
[13:56] <cfhowlett> yao_ziyuan, so ... we happy?
[13:56] <yao_ziyuan> cfhowlett: 15.10 is already released. i upgraded from 14.04 to 15.10 online.
[13:56] <yao_ziyuan> cfhowlett: yes
[13:56] <Diplomat> TJ-: http://i.imgur.com/e24b41G.jpg check this out
[13:57] <cfhowlett> yao_ziyuan, wait what/??  14.04 >> 15.10 directly??
[13:57] <yao_ziyuan> cfhowlett: no. first to 15.04, then to 15.10.
[13:57] <sruli> TJ-: its still complaining /lib/security/quiet: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory.
[13:57] <Diplomat> You can see that sda4 is not mounted for some random reason.. I hope this time im getting luckier
[13:57] <yao_ziyuan> cfhowlett: using Software Upgrader and, when it fails in the middle, using do-release-upgrade
[13:58] <TJ-> Diplomat: right, so now you select #4 and set its mount point
[13:59] <Diplomat> Doesn't matter really..
[13:59] <Diplomat> it wont set it
[13:59] <cfhowlett> yao_ziyuan, unless something has radically changed very recently, what you describe is strictly prohibited.  14.04 > 14.10 (via eolupgrade method) > 15.10
[13:59] <slidinghorn> yao_ziyuan: I hope you made a stop at 14.10 on the way to 15.04......
[13:59] <yao_ziyuan> cfhowlett: not to 14.10, but to 15.04 directly, and then to 15.10.
[14:00] <slidinghorn> yao_ziyuan: yeah...you can't do that....
[14:00] <yao_ziyuan> i did it...
[14:00] <slidinghorn> yao_ziyuan: and now you're here....
[14:00] <TJ-> Diplomat: I think your problem is maybe the location of partition #4 - you've got 3.6TB in front of it, making GRUB unable to reach its root file-system. Swap the positions of #2 and #4
[14:00] <yao_ziyuan> there are errors in the middle, but i overcame them by dpkg-reconfigure and things like this.
[14:00] <cfhowlett> yao_ziyuan, nope.  not how ubunt works.
[14:00] <yao_ziyuan> what potential problems would i have now?
[14:01] <yao_ziyuan> i don't see any apparent error messages now.
[14:01] <cfhowlett> yao_ziyuan, ah, so you jailbroke the installation method.  I would not trust your system at all.
[14:01] <yao_ziyuan> no. i didn't jailbreak.
[14:01] <yao_ziyuan> i first ran the graphical Software Updater from 14.04.3 LTS.
[14:01] <yao_ziyuan> it prompted me to upgrade to "15.04".
[14:01] <cfhowlett> yao_ziyuan, you cannot directly upgrade 14.04 > 15.10 without using eolupgrade to
[14:01] <yao_ziyuan> i followed.
[14:02] <Diplomat> I have set it every time I have reinstalled it
[14:02] <slidinghorn> yao_ziyuan: maybe jailbreak isn't a "proper term" however, it's very much against the way Ubuntu works in its releases.  I can assure you that your updated did not tell you to upgrade from 14.04 to 15.10 directly.
[14:02] <TJ-> Diplomat: format the disk so it has biosgrub, ext4, swap, lvm in that order *on-disk*
[14:03] <yao_ziyuan> it did.
[14:03] <Diplomat> TJ- now I did, root should be sda2 now, it's installing apt stuff atm
[14:03] <slidinghorn> yao_ziyuan: It most certainly did not.
[14:03] <cfhowlett> yao_ziyuan, nope.  14.04.3 would first want to see 14.10 which is eol .  you dpkg -reconfigured (forced) something strange.
[14:03] <yao_ziyuan> however, the upgraded 15.10 was problematic.
[14:03] <yao_ziyuan> then i ran do-release-upgrade in a terminal, and it upgraded me to 15.10.
[14:03] <yao_ziyuan> and 15.10 is now perfect.
[14:03] <cfhowlett> yao_ziyuan, except when it's not ...
[14:03] <Diplomat> This RAID10 makes me so sad.. I have 8 x 1TB SSDs there.. and only 3.8TB usable space
[14:04] <lotuspsychje> Diplomat: are you on server?
[14:04] <Diplomat> Yup
[14:05] <TJ-> Diplomat: that looks correct, for mirror+stripe
[14:05] <Diplomat> yup
[14:05] <Diplomat> but its sad
[14:06] <slidinghorn> yao_ziyuan: I'm sorry, but I can't help you if you're not going to be up front and honest about this.  I can absolutely guarantee that Ubuntu did not prompt you to upgrade directly from 14.04 to 15.04 without hitting 14.10 in between.  It is simply not possible.
[14:06] <yao_ziyuan> i was in 14.04 LTS. then i followed this instruction: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/upgrade
[14:06] <Diplomat> Ok, install is done
[14:07] <yao_ziyuan> i set the "Notify me of a new Ubuntu version" dropdown menu to "For any new version". 
[14:07] <slidinghorn> yao_ziyuan: even then, it would still have had you go through 14.10 first.
[14:07] <yao_ziyuan> then i run Software Updater again. it told me to click Yes to upgrade to 15.04.
[14:07] <yao_ziyuan> i was surprised why it didn't tell me to upgrade to 14.10 first.
[14:08] <TJ-> Diplomat: the capacity is in GiB, whereas drives measure it in GB: " echo 'scale=2; 4 *(1000^3)/(1024^3)'| bc" => 3.72
[14:08] <slidinghorn> yao_ziyuan: ....it did.
[14:08] <Diplomat> you made me sadder
[14:08] <yao_ziyuan> i remember i killed Software Upgrader once.
[14:08] <Diplomat> good lord baby jesus
[14:09] <yao_ziyuan> maybe this is why. i skipped upgrading to 14.10 without knowing it.
[14:09] <lotuspsychje> yao_ziyuan: what you tried is just wrong, there is no 14.10 anymore
[14:09] <Diplomat> i think that was it.. that 3.8tb gap
[14:09] <lotuspsychje> yao_ziyuan: you cant just go from lts to non-lts
[14:09] <yao_ziyuan> anyway i am now in 15.10...
[14:09] <yao_ziyuan> do you want a screenshot for proof?...
[14:10] <lotuspsychje> yao_ziyuan: no, im just saying its asking for troubles
[14:10] <lotuspsychje> yao_ziyuan: clean install instead
[14:10] <TJ-> Diplomat: Yes, because GRUB starts in real mode and cannot address so far into the disk. It ought to figure that out during grub-install though!
[14:10] <yao_ziyuan> is there a file that can show distro upgrade history?
[14:10] <yao_ziyuan> maybe from that file i can see if i upgraded to 14.10 first.
[14:10] <slidinghorn> yao_ziyuan: we're not saying you didn't end up with some semblance of 15.10...we're saying your system is very likely broken and we cannot support it due to your choice to ignore the upgrade notes & processes
[14:10] <lotuspsychje> yao_ziyuan: better focus on your issue...why are you here?
[14:10] <sruli> TJ-: i made a test without "if [ "$PAM_TYPE" = "close_session" ]; then" and on login it executed it but not on logout, also if i put it in session-common & session-common-interactive it exec it twice, i guess problem is with "if pam_type" what can i try instead?
[14:11] <yao_ziyuan> lotuspsychje: i didn't have 15.10 wallpapers installed (actually, the package 'ubuntu-wallpapers' wasn't installed).
[14:11] <TJ-> sruli: as to executing twice, touch some file and check if that file exists and do nothing if it does, and ensure that file is deleted for "open_session"
[14:12] <lotuspsychje> yao_ziyuan: so download a wallpaper pack somewhere?
[14:12] <yao_ziyuan> lotuspsychje: i ran 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-wallpapers' and the problem solved.
[14:12] <yao_ziyuan> lotuspsychje: my "15.10" system has debian wallpapers, somehow.
[14:12] <Diplomat> TJ-: Hm.. now big partition is gone somewhere.. fdisk -l shows that theres 3836GB of space, but yea
[14:13] <TJ-> sruli: To figure out the missing 'close_session' maybe it has a different name, so have the script - as a debug measure only - append PAM_TYPE to a file you can check to see which are being fired
[14:13] <Diplomat> shows only sda1
[14:13] <Diplomat> df -h shows sda2
[14:13] <Diplomat> sda3 is gone :D
[14:13] <Diplomat> sda3 and sda4 are in /dev tho
[14:13] <cfhowlett> yao_ziyuan, and that alone is an indication of some seriously scrambled internal stuff in your system.  you'll ignore this advice but:   download the 15.10 .iso, md5sum to verify, make a bootable USB and clean install 15.10
[14:13] <sruli> TJ-: regarding exec twice, just noticed second time is when i open a terminal, so i think i can remove it from noninteractive
[14:14] <TJ-> Diplomat: the disk is probably using GPT, not MBR. Use "gdisk -l /dev/sda"
[14:14] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: +1
[14:14] <slidinghorn> cfhowlett: +2
[14:14] <TJ-> sruli: always good to addd guard conditions in your own code though - it's called Defensive Programming
[14:16] <sruli> TJ-: "as a debug measure only - append PAM_TYPE to a file " can u help me with how exactly to make this script?
[14:17] <Grimm_> Hello, please how do I remove the "read only" attribute from my micro SD card?
[14:17] <Grimm_> I already tried  sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/mmcblk0p1
[14:17] <duffy> hey :) looking for a solution to generalize a pth to a file
[14:18] <TJ-> sruli: just add to your script " echo "$(date) $PAM_TYPE" >> /tmp/debug.log "  so you can look in /tmp/debug.log and see the timestamps and PAM_TYPE values your script is being called with
[14:18] <vijayanand> hello, I've posted my problem here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14027421/plain
[14:18] <Grimm_> and this hdparm -r0 /dev/mmcblk0p1

[14:24] <TomyWork> is it at all possible to change the console resolution (ctrl+alt+f1..4) without rebooting the machine?
[14:24] <sruli> TJ-: it only runs on login it adds "open_session" i see from http://linux.die.net/man/8/pam_exec close_session is correct module type
[14:24] <TomyWork> i see all kinds of grub configuration

[14:28] <skypebot2000> I'm trying to install skype on ubuntu 14.04 from the software center, but I keep getting an error: "skype: Depends: skype-bin but it is a virtual package". How can I fix this and use skype on ubuntu?
[14:29] <lotuspsychje> skypebot2000: have you tried downloading skype from their website?
[14:30] <TomyWork> slidinghorn that helped a little. at least i get more characters onto the screen now :)
[14:30] <TomyWork> so is there a way to increase the resolution so i get even more characters on screen?
[14:31] <lilwiz> Anyone know if HP Slatebook can be turned into an Ubuntu laptop? (It comes with Android on eMMC)

[14:32] <zykotick9> TomyWork: try fbset
[14:32] <mrsam96> hi...my system going to crash alot and i see windows report alot...what is the my problem?...do u have crash alot?
[14:32] <sruli> TJ-: its not running on close_session either i am doing something wrong or it runs after ecryptfs dismounted
[14:33] <TomyWork> zykotick9 i dont have that and i have no network, which is kinda the reason why i want to use the console at all :)
[14:33] <TomyWork> instead of ssh
[14:33] <zykotick9> TomyWork: ahhh.  well good luck.
[14:34] <skypebot2000> lotuspsychje: It installed a bunch of stuf, but I can't seem to find skype afterwards

[15:07] <slidinghorn> mrsam96: well what you're facing now is apparently a known bug...I'm reading the report to see if there's a fix.  feel free to check out bug 1451728 below from "ubottu"
[15:07] <skypebot2000> I'm trying to install skype on ubuntu 14.04 from the software center, but I keep getting an error: "skype: Depends: skype-bin but it is a virtual package". How can I fix this and use skype on ubuntu?
[15:07] <daftykins> possibly ignore that and get the .deb from their site, skypebot2000
[15:07] <daftykins> (32-bit works best i think)
[15:08] <skypebot2000> daftykins: I've already tried that. It looks like it installs, but I dont have the skype executable afterwards
[15:09] <todar> join russe
[15:09] <slidinghorn> mrsam96: were you just wanting to try out the different desktop environments?    Also, do you have any strong attachment to Telepathy?
[15:09] <daftykins> skypebot2000: show output of installing it in a pastebin, using "sudo dpkg -i blah.deb" - though note it'd be a mess right now if you've not tried to remove this prior to trying the software centre one
i try i because i read very command about them..i think very good...and what is your mean about attachment?
[15:13] <DEBU> anyone know if there is a security chatroom
[15:13] <skypebot2000> daftykins: pastebin.com/tJxqkauk
[15:13] <myztic> are there statistics available about how many users each version of ubuntu has? (for example how many use 15.10 on their desktop compared to 14.04.3 LTS)
[15:14] <daftykins> DEBU: this channel is not a telephone directory for freenode. it is an OS support channel.

[15:14] <daftykins> skypebot2000: right now "sudo apt install libqtwebkit4"
[15:15] <DEBU> lol
[15:15] <DEBU> funny
[15:15] <daftykins> no, i'm serious actually.
[15:15] <_ryan_> mrsam96 this is slidinghorn, I'm on my phone having a smoke. Did you answer my Q about if you really need Telepathy? I didn't see
[15:15] <OerHeks> i found this (old) bug, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skype/+bug/1372846
[15:17] <mrsam96> <_ryan i cant understand ehat do u want to say me plz speak simple... im not english girl
[15:19] <skypebot2000> daftykins: cant be installed: recoomends sni-qt:i386 but is not going to be installed
[15:20] <_ryan_> mrsam96 the application that appears to be causing your problem is called Telepathy. It was installed when you installed kubuntu-desktop. If you don't use it, I'm going to have you get rid of it to see if it fixes your problem
[15:21] <mrsam96> <_ryan oh baby tnx :) im understand...no imnot use it :)
[15:21] <mrsam96> im dont like utility because i cant move it :(
[15:21] <daftykins> skypebot2000: pastebins are preferred over your interpretations of events; did you look at OerHeks' link?
[15:22] <mrsam96> _ryan....i wanna remove KDE and XFCE...can u help me?
[15:23] <_ryan_> mrsam96 okay....give me 5 minutes to finish a cigarette, and i will tell you exactly what to do after that
[15:23] <DirtyCajun> does anyone know if there is a linux driver out there for TP-Link TG-3269 (its a NIC)
[15:23] <skypebot2000> daftykins: pastebin.com/njmbZe77
[15:23] <Trell> hey guys
[15:24] <mrsam96> _ryan_ im using smoking too :D but can work with my pc :D
[15:24] <daftykins> DirtyCajun: identify the chipset used
[15:24] <mrsam96> trell : ih
[15:24] <mrsam96> hi
[15:24] <DirtyCajun> ok sec
[15:24] <daftykins> DirtyCajun: looks to me like a realtek chip
[15:25] <DirtyCajun> the driver linux is using currently is a realtek driver
[15:25] <daftykins> RTL8169SC
[15:25] <huggies> most software is 100x as long and complex as it needs
[15:25] <daftykins> DirtyCajun: so why are you asking for a driver if it's already ok?
[15:25] <huggies> I want to learn to make smaller better programs
[15:25] <DirtyCajun> the issue is that the current drivers throw IRQ... its not ok daftykins
[15:25] <huggies> That are easier to understand.
[15:25] <daftykins> huggies: this is OS support, not dev support.
[15:25] <DirtyCajun> i want to actually fix the issue not just add irqpoll to boot
[15:25] <daftykins> DirtyCajun: logs of issues in a pastebin might be handy
[15:26] <DirtyCajun> ok. sec
[15:26] <daftykins> realtek on a NIC though :( ugh
[15:26] <skypebot2000> daftykins: I've looked at the link from OerHeks but it doesn't contain a solution. And if it was a packaging problem all users would have it
[15:26] <daftykins> skypebot2000: it does, it mentions enabling the partner repo then installing skype and skype-bin together
[15:27] <skypebot2000> daftykins: it mentions that, but that didn't solve the problem. I still get the same error
[15:28] <mrsam96> i have QUESTION:::which one is stayble Os UBUNTU OR KUBUNTU?
[15:28] <daftykins> mrsam96: they both are in LTS, that's silly.
[15:28] <Pici> mrsam96: Both are stable and are based off the same core.
[15:29] <mrsam96> Pici and <daftykins> tnx :)...is kubuntu has different bug?
[15:29] <daftykins> skypebot2000: i've installed it fine by just installing the packages manually that it claims "aren't going to be installed" so just try that.
[15:29] <daftykins> mrsam96: that is not a grammatically correct question - makes zero sense
[15:29] <DirtyCajun> daftykins http://pastebin.com/UhLT0Ktt

[15:31] <mrsam96> So guys i wanna full remove kubuntu-desktup and XFCE.. how can i do iT?
[15:32] <slidinghorn> mrsam96: I'm back...let's do this :)         sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove telepathy
[15:32] <DirtyCajun> my firmware is THAT out of date?
[15:32] <DirtyCajun> jesus... and move the slot AND update firmware?
[15:32] <daftykins> no i said change slot first
[15:33] <slidinghorn> mrsam96: we don't need to get rid of those....you can still try them.   This just appears to be a situation where one upstream application has a problem, and you don't need it anyway :)
[15:33] <DirtyCajun> but i want to update firmware now that i know
[15:33] <DirtyCajun> XD
[15:33] <daftykins> DirtyCajun: no, BIOS updates aren't without risk - start simple.
[15:33] <DirtyCajun> could that potentially be hazardous?
[15:33] <DirtyCajun> ok
[15:33] <daftykins> also don't buy cheap rubbish NICs in future.
[15:33] <DirtyCajun> gotcha
huum wait to test it

[15:37] <slidinghorn> daftykins: well shoot.....any way around this "handy and lovely and probably perfectly reasonable security" feature?
[15:37] <daftykins> i don't know what the situation is and don't want to get involved, sorry.

[15:44] <Adzbuck> When I try and boot it says /bin/plymouth not found & /sbin/plymouthd not found and then stops. If I try to boot in recovery mode it requests a login as soon as I log in I get kicked straight back out to login again. Can anybody help?
[15:44] <ioria> Adzbuck, dual boot ?
[15:44] <Adzbuck> ubuntu only
[15:44] <Adzbuck> 1 instance
[15:47] <ioria> Adzbuck, did you do a manual partitioning ? or mount in remote or locally other partitions ?
[15:48] <caturday> hi all. anyone in here use MaaS?
[15:51] <Adzbuck> ioria: I never installed the machine originally, It was working fine up until about a week ago, then I believe it done an update. It then refused to let me log into the machine(kept kicking me back to start screen) I connected via SSH and done an dist-upgrade see if that would fix it but now I'm getting these errors.
[15:52] <ioria> Adzbuck, can you past /etc/fstab ?
[15:53] <Tirz> Adzbuck via ssh: sudo chown -R user:user /lib/plymouth
[15:53] <ioria> *e
[15:55] <zykotick9> Adzbuck: i'd check the ownership of ~/.Xauthority -- "ls -l ~/.Xauthority" is root mentioned?
[15:55] <Adzbuck> Tirz: I can't connect via SSH since the update but i can mount the HD via another box and modify it via that.. I thought about doing that but I haven't logged in before it crashes, so would that help? ioria, what do you mean am I able to access fstab?
[15:56] <ioria> Adzbuck, you could boot from live, mount the partition and post the file /etc/fstab
[15:56] <Adzbuck> zykotick9: it was but I mounted it to another copmuter and changed it to it's user, still loop in recovery. i.e. asks me to log in and then soon as I do logs me out
[15:56] <sruli> TJ-: it only runs on login it adds "open_session" i see from http://linux.die.net/man/8/pam_exec close_session is correct module type, i tested the script by changing the path of script to / so out of ecrypt_fs, still did not run at logout, in auth.log i see "lightdm-greeter-session-closed for user " next line "/test.sh failed exit code 2" so it is running after close
[15:56] <Tirz> ioria i don't think that the problem is from the file.
[15:58] <makara> hi. I want RhythmBox to serve music files to my phone, so I can listen to music moving around. How can I do this? Possible?
[15:59] <Adzbuck> proc            /proc           proc    nodev,noexec,nosuid 0       0 (new line) /dev/sda       /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1(new line)     /dev/sda1 none            swap    sw              0       0
[15:59] <Tirz> adzbuck, can you access to your tty (ctrl+alt+f1) when your computer start?
[15:59] <ioria> Adzbuck, paste.ubuntu.com or pastebiit
[15:59] <ioria> *pastebinit
[16:00] <TJ-> sruli: I did a bunch of tests here, "close_session" isn't being called, which is pam_exec.c::pam_sm_close_session() - so looks like we've found a bug in PAM
[16:00] <zykotick9> Adzbuck: ahh, i don't thin "/dev/sda /" is correct!  that's a drive not a filesystem (the sda)
[16:00] <zykotick9> s/thin/think/
[16:01] <Adzbuck> Tirz: only if i boot in recovery mode
[16:01] <sruli> TJ-: thanks, what do i do now to get this script to complete before dismount?
[16:02] <Adzbuck> ioria: http://pastebin.com/1FNPX77d
[16:02] <Adzbuck> zykotick9: what do you think it should be?
[16:02] <zykotick9> Adzbuck: sda1 would make _more_ sense... but i don't know
[16:03] <ioria> TJ- could work a system with a fstab like this ? http://pastebin.com/1FNPX77d
[16:04] <TJ-> ioria: errrr!!! that looks bad :)
[16:05] <ioria> Adzbuck, maybe you have a problem
[16:05] <Tirz> ioria x)
[16:05] <DirtyCajun> daftykins: for your edification(?) it looks like the asus and H61 intel chipsets had a long standing issue that wasnt fixable
[16:05] <DirtyCajun> https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38632
[16:06] <Adzbuck> ioria: any ideas how I could fix this? :/
[16:06] <ioria> Adzbuck, can you give us a sudo parted -l
[16:06] <ioria> ?
[16:07] <Adzbuck> ioria: I'm not sure how I would be able to that as I can't seem to get to a console
[16:08] <ioria> Adzbuck, can you boot directly the target machine with a livecd ?
[16:08] <daftykins> DirtyCajun: wow nice, so even with the changes i mentioned it'd change nothing - bit shocking
[16:08] <Tirz> Adzbuck yoy say tthat you was able to use ctrl+alt+f1 in recovery mode
[16:09] <daftykins> DirtyCajun: thing is you're using a standard PCI card and not PCI-E eh? i wonder if that matters
[16:09] <slidinghorn> okay
[16:09] <slidinghorn> test?
[16:10] <DirtyCajun> daftykins yeah im using PCI. the board doesnt have any PCI-E slots unfortunately. the irqpoll DOES work. it wasnt brought up on that bugpost.
[16:10] <DirtyCajun> its just not meant to be a permenant fix. it will have to be tho.
[16:11] <Adzbuck> Tirz: no i enters tty1 in recovery mode but it asks me to log in, and as soon as I do it boots me out
[16:11] <Adzbuck> or logs me out should I say
[16:13] <daftykins> DirtyCajun: nasty.
[16:13] <DirtyCajun> i know :(
[16:16] <thebwt> What is the ubuntu mirror policy on keeping old versions of packages?
[16:22] <sruli> TJ-: any hope for me?
[16:26] <docmur_> I'm trying to write an installer for my application, that runs in the terminal.  I've used ncurses before to do this but what other curses libraries are there?
[16:27] <max12345> hey I'm trying myself at the packaging guide http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/packaging-new-software.html but I'm running into problems

[16:28] <max12345> the line "bzr dh-make ..." under starting a new package
[16:28] <k1l_> manjaro-web|1004: just ask if its ubuntu support
[16:28] <max12345> returns "Either run the command from an existing branch of upstream, or move hello aside and a new branch will be created there."
[16:28] <max12345> what does that mean, what do I have to do?
[16:28] <OerHeks> max12345, maybe #ubuntu-packaging is a good place to start
[16:28] <max12345> ok
[16:34] <manjaro-web|1004> anything about hovercraft
[16:34] <OerHeks> what is hovercraft, manjaro-web|1004 ?
[16:35]  * OerHeks does not find in the repos
[16:35] <manjaro-web|1004> it is a software for presentation

[16:48] <ioria> Adzbuck, that is right ? ? ?
[16:51] <Adzbuck> ioria: I'm a little unsure what you're asking me
[16:51] <ioria> Adzbuck, sdb != sda
[16:52] <Adzbuck> I had to mount the hard drive to another machine, would that not change the disk path?
[16:52] <lite12> hello i'm using a usb modem and sometimes it get's disconnected. to connect again I have to poweroff my laptop. is there a command that will reset my usb port Bus 02 device 005
[16:52] <ioria> Adzbuck, ok
[16:52] <Adzbuck> I can't seem to get a console up in any way
[16:53] <lite12> .
[16:53] <nicomachus> lite12: can you paste the output of "sudo lshw -C network" in a pastebin and link here?
[16:54] <lite12> nicomachus: ok
[16:54] <ioria> Adzbuck, when you boot the drive, press shift to enter Grub , recovery
[16:55] <Adzbuck> ioria: that is the recovery mode I was on about where it asks me to log in, if i enter the details it logs me in for about half a second then logs me out
[16:56] <lite12> nicomachus: https://gist.github.com/143263b53860464259ed
[16:56] <fep> Why is the ports open when i scan my localhost but closed when i scan my LAN ip?
[16:56] <fep> (ports on different services)
[16:56] <jpds> fep: Things are only listening on localhost?
[16:57] <ioria> Adzbuck, it logs you out, when you choose 'root' ?
[16:57] <Adzbuck> yes
[16:57] <nicomachus> lite12: sorry, I have bad news. Looks like your USB dongle uses a realtek chipset that has notoriously buggy performance on linux.
[16:57] <nicomachus> lite12: what version of ubuntu are you on?
[16:57] <ioria> Adzbuck, and if you choose 'resume' ?
[16:58] <fep> jpds, yes
[16:58] <lite12> nicomachus: 14.02
[16:58] <sruli> TJ-: is there any way i can tell my script to halt the loggoff/shutdown proccessor edit the shutdown proccess to wait for the script to complete?
[16:58] <jpds> fep: That's the reason
[16:58] <lite12> nicomachus: 14.04 sorry
[16:59] <fep> jpds, oh, do i have to configurate each one of the services to listen to remote hosts, or is there one config file that all of them gets its policy from?
[16:59] <lite12> nicomachus: do you think running modprobe will solve it
[16:59] <jpds> fep: It's in the services config file
[16:59] <fep> ok, thanks
[17:00] <fep> jpds, look for "listen to remote hosts" ?
[17:00] <fep> or something similar
[17:00] <jpds> fep: It totally depends on the program
[17:01] <jpds> fep: Postgres has a "listen_addresses" variable
[17:01] <fep> jpds, right .... do you know if i run tor and privoxy if i need to configurate both, or just one of them, and where/what to switch on/off ?
[17:01] <fep> i see
[17:01] <fep> ill try to go on with my googling, but the it was some confusing
[17:02] <lite12> nicomachus: but i think usb storage is deeply tied in kernel
[17:02] <nicomachus> lite12: no that won't solve it. what is the output of "uname -a"?
[17:02] <lite12> nicomachus: so modprobe wont work
[17:02] <lite12> nicomachus: ok
[17:02] <lite12> nicomachus: Linux ghost 3.13.0-24-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP Fri May 2 23:31:42 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux
[17:03] <nicomachus> yay!
[17:03] <lite12> nicomachus: hahaha i'ts linuxlite
[17:03] <lite12> nicomachus: but it's base on ubuntu here https://www.linuxliteos.com/download.html
[17:03] <pbx> lite12, unfuortunately this is not a "based on ubuntu" support channel
[17:04] <fep> jpds, so it has nothing to do with iptables ?
[17:04] <TJ-> sruli: no, the whole point of the shutdown functionality is it will kill processes that don't terminate when signalled.
[17:04] <nicomachus> lite12: be patient one second. there's a fix for some of these realtek drivers and I want to see if it will work for you. just hold on a second.
[17:04] <lite12> fep: then how do you reset the usb on ubuntu?
[17:04] <sruli> TJ-: so i'm buggered on this one, did you file a bug?
[17:05] <lite12> ok
[17:05] <jpds> fep: iptables could be blocking access, yes
[17:06] <fep> jpds, but not as default?
[17:06] <lite12> fep: i'm sure what works on ubuntu  will work on linuxlite
[17:06] <fep> jpds, the blockage is something you have to switch on manually or is it default blocking anything?
[17:07] <fep> jpds, iptables -L shows nothing
[17:07] <nicomachus> pbx: linuxlite is an ubuntu derivative, and in the case of drivers might as well be ubuntu.
[17:07] <lite12> pbx: then how do you reset the usb on ubuntu?
[17:08] <lite12> pbx: i'm sure what works on ubuntu  will work on linuxlite
[17:08] <nicomachus> lite12: it doesn't look like the fix will work with that chipset, I'm sorry.
[17:08] <lite12> nicomachus: ok thanks tho
[17:09] <OerHeks> sruli, TJ- maybe this page is any help ? http://askubuntu.com/a/417288
[17:09] <pbx> lite12, you may be sure but you can't expect others to be
[17:11] <sruli> OerHeks: that page was my starting point, the solution there ends that the user id is written to a profile which is quick enought to complete before logoff, rest of it executes after logoff,
[17:11] <sruli> **written to a file
[17:11] <lite12> nicomachus: after replugging the modem, the usb throws and exit status 1
[17:12] <lite12> nicomachus: is there a hot fix to this? like restarting usb ports or something
[17:12] <daftykins> lite12: we do not support non-ubuntu, please find a channel for your own distro - regardless of similarities, it is not permitted here.
[17:13] <lite12> daftykins: ok sorry, linuxlite on irc is disconnected couple months ago.
[17:13] <lite12> daftykins: I've been googling for hours, I have this problem for months now,
[17:14] <daftykins> lite12: right, well install ubuntu then we can help, but until then it is the fault of your own distro.
[17:14] <nicomachus> lite12: it's a bad USB, you'll have to get a different one to solve the problem.
[17:14] <lite12> daftykins: I just need a little amount of leeway
[17:14] <daftykins> lite12: no.
[17:15] <nagromlt> anyone wanna help me with speaker/audio?
[17:15] <OerHeks> asking here for a hotfix while ubuntu does not suffer that issue, great.
[17:15] <lite12> nicomachus: ok thanks, but can I like restart or reload the usb? it works fine in windows, i have dual boot(actually this is the only reason why i still have windows)
[17:16] <daftykins> lite12: your on an old kernel and the wrong distro, so not here, sorry.
[17:16] <eikon81g> I was reading up on an issue I am having.. I recently attempted to update teamviewer on my machine (xubuntu 14.10) and I am getting an error in Teamviewer when I run it. Wehn I run it out of terminal the only error I see now is; update-desktop-database
[17:16] <lite12> daftykins: wtf happened to the unix philosophy? helping others?
[17:16] <nicomachus> !language | lite12
[17:16] <eikon81g> Oops.. The error is: Warning in file "/usr/share/applications/gnumeric.desktop": usage of MIME type "zz-application/zz-winassoc-xls" is discouraged ("zz-application/zz-winassoc-xls" should be replaced with "application/vnd.ms-excel")
[17:16] <daftykins> lite12: it got directed to the correct channels to ask.
[17:17] <diskin> lite12, have you checked http://askubuntu.com/questions/645/how-do-you-reset-a-usb-device-from-the-command-line ?
[17:17] <eikon81g> I read that this was a bug in the past that was resolved but seemed to have resurfaced for others in 14.10
[17:17] <tomer> I have two fairly large gzipped files on my hard drive. Decompressed they'll grow in size by another 7-8 times. So I'm thinking I could mount a ramfs (tmpfs doesn't grow adaptively afaik) and extract them there to their full size whenever I work with them. Would my drive only have to read the gzipped amount of bytes or does decompression not work on-the-fly like that?
[17:18] <OerHeks> eikon81g, me too, so best thing that lite12 can do, is install REAL ubuntu :-D
[17:18] <eikon81g> nagromlt, what is the issue?
[17:18] <nicomachus> OerHeks: I think he was referring to his own error...
[17:19] <OerHeks> oh, coincidense
[17:19] <eikon81g> nicomachus, that's right, I was staying out of that one. . Looks like he got the answer that he needed just not the one he wanted me on the other hand... lol
[17:19] <eikon81g> no problem OerHeks I am just trying to tinker my way through this issue
[17:20] <nagromlt> eikon, surround sound help.  Creative 4.0 surround system on a M5A78L-M LX Plus board.  Worked fine until 15.04 to 15.10 upgrade
[17:20] <slidinghorn> lite12: Have you posted on their forums?  That's the main support area for that disto, and it does appear active (several posts today)...they also have a manual & a bug reporting link on their support page. http://www.linuxliteos.com/support.html
[17:20] <nagromlt> eikon: been dealing with it for a bout a month or two.  Lot of forums and troubleshooting but nothing so far :/
[17:20] <eikon81g> I initially wasn't able to get the GUI to launch due to some folder ownership issues and I went through and chown'd the directories that were causing a hold up
[17:21] <lite12> slidinghorn: ok thanks, i think ill file a bug report then by the way thanks for the link diskin
[17:21] <eikon81g> nagromlt, I had a sound issue awhile back.. I ended up tinkering in pulse audio for quite awhile. Have you tried manually assigning the audiosinks out of terminal?
[17:22] <nagromlt> eikon81g: pulseaudiio, ALSA, some lesser known modules/stuff(?) all nothing.
[17:22] <nagromlt> Jackd, etc
[17:22] <nagromlt> what would have changed from .04 to .10?
[17:22] <eikon81g> that wasn't my fix but I read a lot about people having issues going in and assigning the audio sink straight to the device they wanted to output to
[17:23] <lite12> on a second thought, i think ditching linuxlite might be a good idea, been using this since last year
[17:23] <daftykins> lite12: sounds like a plan, if it's still on the old kernel too - it's obviously quite rubbish
[17:24] <eikon81g> nagromlt, I am not really too sure but I figured if you hadn't tried that route yet you may be able to stumble your way through it to get a result. I am pretty new to the linux community so I would probably be your last resort for serious technical assistance.
[17:24] <eikon81g> just wanted to give you a lead you could follow up on..
[17:24] <lite12> daftykins: do you think the new ubuntu released a bugfix for this?
[17:25] <sruli> TJ-: maybe i can cancel shutdown in my script "shutdown -c" and call for it again at the end of script but how would i know if what was called for was shutdown/rebbot/logoff?
[17:25] <daftykins> lite12: i'm not really looking at your issue, just seeing you're running an outdated kernel on an unsupported distro, i'm not willing to go any further than that.
[17:25] <eikon81g> !teamviewer
[17:25] <eikon81g> I noticed teamviewer wasn't on the SoftwareStore..
[17:25] <daftykins> because it's third party
[17:25] <nagromlt> yeah Im googling now :)
[17:25] <lite12> daftykins: by the way i only have 2 gig of ram, should i download the 32 bit ubuntu version
[17:26] <georgewhite> lite12: there is no problem with the RAM if you use either
[17:26] <georgewhite> lite12: as long as you have a compatible processor
[17:26] <daftykins> lite12: personally i would, depends what you use
[17:26] <eikon81g> ahh ok. Well its odd because I got it to run it just throws an error out of the gui. I may just submit a ticket to the teamviewer support - do you think my error message would cause the program to fail? Warning in file "/usr/share/applications/gnumeric.desktop": usage of MIME type "zz-application/zz-winassoc-xls" is discouraged ("zz-application/zz-winassoc-xls" should be replaced with "application/vnd.ms-excel")
[17:26] <daftykins> lite12: plan for the future just in case you might upgrade though
[17:26] <lite12> daftykins: my cpu can support 64 bit, but i read somewhere on the internet that you have to use 32 bit if you have below 4 gig of ram is that true?
[17:27] <daftykins> no that's rubbish
[17:27] <eikon81g> was it a 754 pin? they may be reffering to the dual channel ram use
[17:28] <eikon81g> i remember back in the day some of the cpus wouldn't support dual channel
[17:28] <lite12> daftykins: so I can use 64 then.
[17:28] <daftykins> socket 754 was single channel iirc
[17:28] <daftykins> lite12: i believe we already covered that
[17:28] <lite12> falking internet hoax again
[17:28] <daftykins> err i don't think you can claim the whole internet hoaxed something when you just got told it was rubbish :P
[17:29] <eikon81g> (it's fine) the 64bit processor will process the 32bit applications as such with no issues generally (it's compatible like daftykins was saying) @ lite12
[17:29] <daftykins> just check your CPU actually does support 64-bit
[17:30] <lite12> daftykins: it it does my windows is 64 bit before dualbooting
[17:30] <daftykins> good stuff
[17:31] <lite12> daftykins: thanks, next time I'll come back here, I'll be using ubuntu
[17:31] <daftykins> here's hoping ;)
[17:31] <daftykins> pick LTS too, 14.04.3
[17:31] <OerHeks> 64 bit processors should be sold with a minimum of 4 gb, to get full power/features. but 2 gb will do, some say it will run -0.5% ... but running 32 bit on a 64 bit processor also runs slower :-D
[17:31] <lite12> ok bye
[17:31] <MehHarder> when i try to connect a second monitor, both go black and the first shows some scrumbled images. Whats going wrong? -.-
[17:32] <lite12> OerHeks: thanks
[17:32] <MehHarder> when i reboot with both monitors, the second keeps black and the first is gray and i can move the mouse. nothing else
[17:33] <eikon81g> MehHarder, you will have to be more specific what version of Ubuntu are you running and the display driver you are using..
[17:33] <nagromlt> eigon: i only have one sink and it is set to default so im not sure that is the issue.. anyother ideas?
[17:33] <MehHarder> Ubuntu: Wily, Card: ATI 380 something, Driver: Stock

[17:34] <nicomachus> "Stock" is not a driver.
[17:34] <eikon81g> have you tried to use the function-crt button on your machine to see if it pulls up the options to tinker in the settings?
[17:34] <eikon81g> Mine was a bit buggy until I played with it
[17:34] <MehHarder> @eikon81g yeah, but nothing
[17:34] <eikon81g> nagromlt, the articles I read talked about specifying the sink to a hardware ID
[17:35] <MehHarder> it keeps a crumbled version of my last screen on the first monitor, whatever i do
[17:35] <eikon81g> MehHarder, when you installed ubuntu did you check to see if there were additional drivers available for your video card?
[17:35] <Guest39> whats the best way to convert from a space separated list of arguments to json?
[17:36] <MehHarder> @eikon81g in the wizard? but no i havent, i bought a ATI extra that i could use the open source ones
[17:36] <eikon81g> MehHarder, sounds like drivers but the artifacts and distortion can be from several things including hardware faults
[17:36] <MehHarder> it works perfectly with one screen, also games seemed to work well so far. i hope its not hardware fault, the whole box is 1 day old
[17:36] <skatman> MehHarder, or your xorg configuration isn't set up right.
[17:37] <MehHarder> god... i choosed ubuntu to do as less as possible, i dont have time for that until weekend -.-
[17:37] <eikon81g> MehHarder, I would recommend looking for updated drivers first in the Software & Updates options to be honest
[17:37] <skatman> do you have xrandr setup?
[17:37] <MehHarder> k i'll try
[17:38] <MehHarder> nope i dont think so, if its not default i have not
[17:38] <MehHarder> i only installed chrome so far and made a dist upgrade to the most recent version
[17:38] <MehHarder> didnt work on the privious version as well
[17:38] <skatman> apt-get install xrandr
[17:39] <skatman> if it makes changes to x automatically, you might not have to touch it
[17:39] <skatman> i  dont know though
[17:39] <MehHarder> keep in mind that i cant do anything as soon as the second is connected?
[17:39] <MehHarder> ah easy, i'll try
[17:39] <MehHarder> already installed :/
[17:39] <skatman> damn
[17:40] <skatman> ummm
[17:40] <MehHarder> try properitary drivers i guess? :/
[17:40] <skatman> could even be a refresh that is off or too high
[17:40] <skatman> check your xorg configuration
[17:40] <MehHarder> but would that "kill" both screens?
[17:40] <skatman> see if something doesn't look right
[17:40] <anonymous420> I have problem use irc
[17:41] <skatman> what does ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ show you?
[17:42] <MehHarder> since when does ubuntu work without xorg? dafuq
[17:42] <MehHarder> there is nothing there
[17:42] <skatman> lol what
[17:42] <MehHarder> all references to xorg are in /usr/share
[17:42] <skatman> weird
[17:43] <MehHarder> there are several files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ but i assume thats more or less templates
[17:43] <skatman> MehHarder, yes one is for your screen
[17:43] <skatman> MehHarder, they append to the master config
[17:43] <k1l_> MehHarder: try the fglrx driver from ubuntu.
[17:44] <MehHarder> http://pastebin.com/B5q53hDP O.o
[17:44] <MehHarder> yeah i try properitary, i'll go arch on the weekend anyway
[17:44] <k1l_> sometimes it doesnt support dualmonitor with the open source driver
[17:44] <k1l_> gl with arch then :/
[17:44] <skatman> I'm still messing with archbang
[17:44] <skatman> fluxbox for the win
[17:45] <MehHarder> somehow i assumed grakas are no issue more today
[17:45] <skatman> MehHarder, I can't tell you which config is for the screen cat <file> | grep screen or some shit lol
[17:45] <k1l_> MehHarder: get the details what card you use exactly and if that card is an issue today
[17:45] <MehHarder> i assume i have the same errors on arch, at least i will somehow have to understand whats going on. here i just do random things, hoping for some magic
[17:46] <k1l_> MehHarder: wrong
[17:46] <MehHarder> huh?
[17:46] <k1l_> MehHarder: you can config the same on ubuntu. atm its your details that limit it. "i got some card" wont help on arch too
[17:46] <MehHarder> sorry. ATI 380
[17:47] <skatman> you just told us you wanted to use ubuntu for simplicity, but now arch lol
[17:47] <skatman> i say
[17:47] <MehHarder> for the week, i installed the whole pc yesterday, i need to work and have holidays from friday
[17:47] <skatman> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multihead
[17:47] <MehHarder> arch install takes like 4 hours at least for me, dont have time for that in the week ;)
[17:48] <MehHarder> but lets not focus on arch, we all know its great xD
[17:48] <icewalker> hi, i connected to dhcp network that automatically assigned a couple dns servers. how to add/introduce additional dns server to existing list?
[17:48] <icewalker> on ubuntu 15.10
[17:48] <skatman> bind?
[17:49] <icewalker> nope
[17:49]  * skatman oh dear
[17:49] <slidinghorn> icewalker: are you using ubuntu server?
[17:49] <icewalker> something resolv.conf?
[17:49] <skatman> ohh
[17:49] <icewalker> i am using ubuntu desktop on my laptop
[17:50] <skatman> you're talking about in /etc/interfaces ?
[17:50] <teward> icewalker: add it to the NetworkManager settings for that network
[17:50] <slidinghorn> !resolvonf | icewalker
[17:50] <teward> also look @ resolvconf
[17:50] <slidinghorn> !resolvconf | icewalker
[17:50] <slidinghorn> sorry to double ping...typo
[17:50] <fellipe1> hi all! Please help!!! Why does it happens? http://pastie.org/10634114    I need too much to be able to see all the three modems in /dev/serial/by-id  , please help!!! Ubuntu 14.04 64bits
[17:51] <MehHarder> so fglrx installed, xorg configurated. i see myself raging in pain in a few minutes already ... but lets try ...
[17:51] <skatman> nano /etc/network/interfaces
[17:51] <skatman> dns-nameservers x.x.x.x x.x.x.x.x x.x.x.x x.x.x.x
[17:53] <MehHarder_> works with the properitary one. now i feel bad for not buying nvidia -.-
[17:54] <MehHarder_> or do you still need to run that crazy .run wizard in a tty without X to install nvidia drivers?
[17:54] <skatman> icewalker, did you figure it out?
[17:55] <MehHarder_> also my graka is more quiet now o.o
[17:56] <icewalker> thanks, got it. looks like i found the option for "additional dns servers" under the  ipv4 settings when i goes to edit the wired connection. i hope that will do the tricks
[17:57] <skatman> icewalker, if you wanna see your current configuratoin just do a "cat /etc/network/interfaces"
[17:57] <skatman> You'll then see dns-nameservers towards the bottom
[17:58] <icewalker> wonder if need to also add "additionl search domains" for 8.8.8.8 dns
[17:58] <skatman> oh wait, thats for static
[17:59] <skatman> you would have to configure your dhcp if you want it to add additional dns servers right?
[17:59] <k1l_> MehHarder_: ubuntu ships prop. amd/ati and nvidia drivers. just install the packages from the repo
[18:00] <protn> hey folks when in mobile connection I select 3g only
[18:00] <MehHarder_> did it works, was just wondering. havent had recent hardware in a long time :3
[18:00] <protn> it still goes to gprs
[18:00] <protn> some bug?
[18:00] <dustinf> Hello
[18:01] <protn> hi babe
[18:01] <protn> :D
[18:01] <icewalker> skatman: cat /etc/network/interfaces only show the "auto lo" and "iface lo inet loopback" but no dns ip
[18:01] <dustinf> :O
[18:01] <k1l_> icewalker: so you use networkmanager for that?
[18:02] <dustinf> Linux and switchable graphics cards suck
[18:02] <icewalker> how do i launch networkmanager from command line?
[18:02] <dustinf> by switchable I mean hybrid
[18:03] <k1l_> dustinf: start a blog for your rantings. we focus on actual support in here
[18:03] <icewalker> network-admin
[18:06] <icewalker> i launched network-admin it shows dns 127.0.0.1, and i added 8.8.8.8, hope this will work
[18:06] <protn> k1l_: can you support his rants?
[18:07] <mutlucan96> "connection was reset", I can't connect Google+ both Ubuntu and Windows. :(
[18:08] <k1l_> protn: sorry, i dont support rants. we only support users who really want to work with us to solve the issues.
[18:08] <protn> k1l_: well when I edit mobile broadband connection to set it to accept 3g only for some reason it still hops to gprs
[18:09] <protn> any idea how I can fix it
[18:10] <k1l_> maybe it got just that offer from the network? dont know about mobile network modems
[18:11] <protn> oki
[18:11] <protn> the idea is suppose to connect not unless it can hop on 3g
[18:11] <protn> on windows it does work
[18:11] <protn> I think its gui bug
[18:12] <protn> other than that I love ubuntu
[18:13] <protn> it takes some time to get used to after its fine

[18:19] <jay_> hi
[18:19] <icewalker> k1l_: yes, it appear that i have used the network manager by editing the wired connection becuase i can see 8.8.8.8 dns i added in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Wired connection 1 file

[18:48] <slidinghorn> nagromlt: did you read the links that they then redirected to?
[18:52] <slidinghorn> nonamae: This might help figure out why space doesn't appear to be clearing when you delete something http://askubuntu.com/questions/205915/deleting-a-large-file-does-not-free-up-space

[19:29] <lettuce45> hi, is there a timer for ubuntu?
[19:29] <nicomachus> lettuce45: what do you mean?
[19:30] <olo> any body cant solbe my problem?
[19:30] <lettuce45> a timer to count minutes and seconds. Im doing the laundry and I dont know how much time the old machine is gonna need
[19:30] <nicomachus> olo: I'm not sure what your problem is, you need to use clear english please.
[19:31] <nicomachus> lettuce45: apt-get install easy-stopwatch
when i move my mouse's pointer,i see a bit puse....mouse's pointer cant move easily..
[19:33] <lettuce45> thx
[19:33] <nicomachus> olo: what version of ubuntu, and what are the machine specs?
[19:33] <BlueProtoman> How can I list all packages I've installed that did *not* come from a PPA or the main repos?
15.10 and use utiliti desktop
[19:35] <nicomachus> BlueProtoman: open Software Center and go to "Installed Software"
[19:35] <nicomachus> that's the only way I can think of doing it, because then you can sort manually.
[19:36] <nicomachus> olo: what are your machine specs? I'm wondering if the hardware is capable of handling ubuntu 15.10
[19:36] <lettuce45> nicomachus, after trying to execute stopwatch I get failed to execute child process "/usr/bin/stopwatch" (No such file or directory)
[19:37] <nicomachus> lettuce45: probably because it's called 'easy-stopwatch', not 'stopwatch'
[19:38] <lettuce45> nicomachus, terminal returned E: Unable to locate package easy-stopwatch , so I tried synaptic
im buy a lastest lenovo laptop last week....i have powerfull laptop and i use ubuntu last week...so now im reinstalling it and now i see this problem
[19:38] <lettuce45> there there is only a "stopwatch"
what is machine spec?
[19:41] <olo> how can i solve it/
[19:41] <olo> ?
[19:42] <nicomachus> olo: I've never heard of this issue before so I'm doing some googling, relax and be patient.
[19:48] <nicomachus> olo is this the touchpad on the laptop or a USB mouse?
[19:49] <CryptoSiD> hiii, how can i fix this: W: Failed to fetch http://swupdate.openvpn.net/apt/dists/trusty/Release No Hash entry in Release file /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/swupdate.openvpn.net_apt_dists_trusty_Release, which is considered strong enough for security purposes
[19:49] <CryptoSiD> i cant find any good info on google, maybe im noob
[19:52] <Bashing-om> CryptoSiD: What release are you on ? Been a wgile since that repo has seen an update .
[19:52] <Bashing-om> while*
[19:52] <huggies> is NOOP faster for vmware vms?
[19:52] <huggies> since hypervisor underneath has probly what cfq or dealine?
[19:53] <CryptoSiD> Bashing-om xenial :)
[19:53] <nicomachus> huggies: that is not an ubuntu support question
[19:53] <nicomachus> CryptoSiD: using a Trusty repo on Xenial?
[19:53] <Bashing-om> CryptoSiD: Nope, no can do ! not supported .. see : http://swupdate.openvpn.net/apt/dists " .
[19:53] <nicomachus> !xenial | CryptoSiD
[19:53] <CryptoSiD> there is no xenial repo on the openvpn repo, trusty is the last one
[19:54] <CryptoSiD> ok ill try ubuntu+1 sorry
[19:56] <lettuce45> nicomachus, ?
[19:56] <nicomachus> lettuce45: did you install 'stopwatch'?
[19:57] <lettuce45> i installed the only stopwatch I found on the repo
[19:57] <lettuce45> an icon appeared under accesories, with the broken link

[20:19] <Ghost_r00t> I want to install xubuntu 14.04-1 from iso. but I want to instruct it not to install Grub or anyother bootloader during install. how should I do that?
[20:20] <skatman> Ghost_r00t towards the end it will ask you if you wanna install grub, or am I wrong?
[20:20] <Ghost_r00t> skatman: no It just goes a head with it
[20:20] <skatman> Ghost_r00t or just don't install a boot partition..
[20:21] <Bashing-om> Ghost_r00t: What are you going to use for a boot loader - that is better than grub2 ? Got to have some bootlader to boot an operating system .
[20:23] <daftykins> skatman: setup would not continue
[20:24] <Ghost_r00t> it is beside the point. the boot loader would be Grub2_GPT_EFI in other distro in some other partition. if ubuntu trys to install its own grub then we have a problem
[20:27] <daftykins> Ghost_r00t: nah if you're installing EFI, then ubuntu would throw its' files in the EFI partition and wouldn't override any existing from another distro, so it'd be fine
[20:28] <daftykins> as long as your systems' EFI had the "master" OS we'll call it, selected as the GRUB to boot, it'll do just fine :)
[20:29] <Ghost_r00t> daftykins: 14.04-1 xubuntu. are you sure?
[20:29] <skatman> how about I just install an xubuntu on virtualbox and let you know if it stil proceeds after choosing " continue without boot loader"
[20:30] <skatman> running right now
[20:30] <daftykins> Ghost_r00t: are you picking that old media because you want to keep the 3.13 kernel?
[20:31] <Ghost_r00t> skatman: many thanks
[20:31] <daftykins> i really don't think you can, but even then your vbox VM will not be EFI
[20:31] <Ghost_r00t> daftykins: exactly. the new kernels and noveau fan problems if you know what I am saying.
[20:32] <skatman> daftykins ehh good point
[20:32] <meyou> I've got a shell script that launches xfreerdp with some zenity dialogs to prompt for username/password and a list of terminal servers to connect to, it works fine except if the user/pass is invalid, the error from xfreerdp is suppressed
[20:32] <daftykins> Ghost_r00t: sure, however as i have described above if you truly have an EFI boot partition of type FAT32 and will be booting ubuntu media as EFI (which has worked since 12.04.x) then you will be fine just letting it do its' thing :)
[20:32] <meyou> is there some way to pipe error output into a dialog box or something?
[20:33] <meyou> right now if your user/pass is correct it launches a full screen rdp session, if they're incorrect it just does nothing silently
[20:33] <daftykins> Ghost_r00t: at the very worst, ubuntu may tell your EFI to use the ubuntu grub instead, but you can just switch it to your preferred bootloader (possibly with some help of efibootmgr) then update your other distro to also boot ubuntu
[20:34] <Ghost_r00t> daftykins: so in that case i have on Grub which is working as I want right now reside in ESP (EFI partition) and another one which ubuntu installs?
[20:34] <Ghost_r00t> daftykins: oh; ok thanks
[20:34] <daftykins> yep
[20:35] <Ghost_r00t> daftykins: in a live medium. where could I find grub.cfg
[20:35] <daftykins> are you trying to boot nomodeset?
[20:35] <ioria> meyou,  /var/log/xrdp.log  ?
[20:35] <daftykins> if you tell me what you're after i can answer more effectively, or point to someone who can
[20:37] <Ghost_r00t> daftykins: I find a way to do install without grub. *ubiquity -b* . right now i want to add the ubuntu grub entry to my existing grub to solve the problem.
[20:38] <daftykins> ah funky, i'll have to remember that - however i think having ubuntu's own files is a worthy backup when your EFI partition is big enough.
[20:39] <Ghost_r00t> daftykins: would be nice if you paste.ubuntu.com your ubuntu section of your grub for me as a model.
[20:40] <daftykins> Ghost_r00t: i would need to be on an EFI install, which i am not
[20:41] <Ghost_r00t> daftykins: you mean a grub.cfg entry will differ from EFI to not EFI install?
[20:41] <EriC^^> Ghost_r00t: are you in a live usb right now?
[20:41] <Ghost_r00t> EriC^^: yup
[20:42] <EriC^^> Ghost_r00t: type sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[20:42] <EriC^^> then sudo parted -l | pastebinit
[20:42] <yao_ziyuan> i'm on a clean-installed ubuntu 15.10 now, with a problem: i can't extract/view files from a password-protected zip file.
[20:42] <yao_ziyuan> p7zip, unrar and unzip are all installed. no go.
[20:44] <ikonia> yao_ziyuan: run "file" against the file
[20:44] <ikonia> what does it feed back
[20:44] <yao_ziyuan> ***.zip: Zip archive data
[20:44] <ikant_> hello how i can start permanently simple scan with sudo?
[20:45] <ikonia> yao_ziyuan: what happens if you do "unzip file.zip"
[20:45] <EriC^^> maybe the encryption algorithm is different
[20:45] <ikonia> ikant_: simple scan ?
[20:45] <ikonia> ikant_: what are you trying to do ?
[20:45] <ioria> !info !info fcrackzip
[20:45] <ioria> !info fcrackzip
[20:45] <EriC^^> yao_ziyuan: what'd you use to encrypt it?
[20:46] <yao_ziyuan> skipping: passwords.txt           need PK compat. v5.1 (can do v4.6)
[20:47] <ikant_> if i click at simple scan that it start with sudo rights
[20:47] <EriC^^> yao_ziyuan: i think that's pkzip encryption
[20:47] <yao_ziyuan> EriC^^: winzip a decade ago
[20:47] <yao_ziyuan> EriC^^: so which package should i install?
[20:47] <EriC^^> yao_ziyuan: ok, that's great, that encryption is very weak, and has a known plain-text attack vulnerability too
[20:48] <EriC^^> yao_ziyuan: well, pkzip something i guess
[20:48] <yao_ziyuan> EriC^^: no. i'm the zip file's owner and know the password. the problem is ubuntu 15.10's file-roller or unzip can't decrypt it...
[20:49] <yao_ziyuan> EriC^^: no packaged named 'pkzip'. is it 'pktools'?
[20:49] <OerHeks> unzip -P password zipfile
[20:49] <EriC^^> yao_ziyuan: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1416364
[20:51] <yao_ziyuan> solved. i needed to install p7zip-full.
[20:51] <yao_ziyuan> encountered the same problem before, but forgot the solution.
[20:52] <yao_ziyuan> this is tricky. why doesn't ubuntu install this by default.
[20:53] <genii> yao_ziyuan: Because proprietary license-things
[21:06] <godbod>  Hi there !
[21:07] <H3bus1> hi guys, I just booted an old laptop that is still on Ubuntu Utopic. as utopic was maintained until July, I cant use apt-get as all repos are not found... How can I safely upgrade ubuntu utopic ?
[21:11] <Bashing-om> !eol | H3bus1
[21:11] <H3bus1> Bashing-om: cool, thanks
[21:11] <OerHeks> see the old-releases trick
[21:13] <wileysegovia> Hi everyone! How can I add a folder to the left "Quick reference / nav bar" in my system explorer "Files" GUI?
[21:13] <wileysegovia> am using Unity on Ubuntu 15.10
[21:14]  * tanepiper Hi there, I've just installed Ubuntu Gnome 15.10 on my new laptop. It comes with a NVidia 950m. I've installed the drivers (after having issues with neuvou when trying to install and very low responsiveness) and now I'm stuck in a boot loop where X can't start. When I try to Ctrl + Alt + F1 to go to the prompt login the screen still keeps going around in a
[21:14]  * tanepiper loop and only displays the prompt momenterally. Any ideas?
[21:15] <tanepiper> Specs include a i7 skylake processor (i.e. very new laptop)
[21:16] <OerHeks> wileysegovia, in 'files' press ctrl +d to bookmark
[21:17] <daftykins> tanepiper: don't use /me for messages :) which driver did you pick? did it install nvidia-prime along with it?
[21:17] <Ghost_r00t> Someone please paste its grub.cfg . I need to add an ubuntu entry to a other grub2. thank you
[21:18] <tanepiper> daftykins: I didn't unless irccloud did by mistake - whoops.  No I didn't I'm afraid, I just went to additional drivers and selected the tested ones
[21:18] <wileysegovia> OerHeks: thanks, will try it!
[21:19] <wileysegovia> OerHeks++
[21:19] <daftykins> tanepiper: well those should've pulled nvidia-prime in with them, can you get to TTY1 to log in?
[21:19] <lrojas> hi guys, is there any way to install ubuntu-gnome without any extra apps ( just the basics, i dont want music player, libreoffice, games, etc )
[21:19] <Bashing-om> Ghost_r00t: I could post mine .. but will not be EFI and also I multi-boot several 'buntus on this box .
[21:20] <daftykins> easier to purge them after, lrojas - going down the 'minimalist' route will just be filled with hassle
[21:20] <OerHeks> no install recommends ..
[21:20] <yao_ziyuan> i created a bash script file and made it executable. but when i double-click it in the File Manager, it's opened with gedit. how do i make it run?
[21:20] <lrojas> daftykins: i tried that and eneded up removing gnome because of dependencies... ( i was not paying attention )
[21:21] <OerHeks> lrojas, try with --no-install-recommends
[21:21] <lrojas> OerHeks: where do i put that option?
[21:21] <daftykins> lrojas: lol.
[21:21] <Ghost_r00t> Bashing-om: is grub.cfg entry related to ubuntu differs from efi to not efi?
[21:22] <Ghost_r00t> daftykins: ^^
[21:22] <OerHeks> before or after the metapackage
[21:22] <lrojas> hmm, i am installing from the ubuntu-gnome media
[21:22] <Bashing-om> Ghost_r00t: A bunch .. as the two boooting schemes are not compatible .
[21:23] <daftykins> lrojas: mini.iso with a working wired LAN connection would be a way for non-EFI installs
[21:23] <OerHeks> try the mini iso for this
[21:23] <ikonia> why do you need a "minimal" install ?
[21:23] <lrojas> daftykins: i think that would work fine since i am installing inside a VM
[21:24] <ikonia> why not just do a standard install
[21:24] <daftykins> ikonia: users being users, no need... just odd wants :)
[21:24] <Ghost_r00t> Bashing-om: I am talking about the menuentry section?
[21:24] <ikonia> it's just going to cause problems
[21:24] <daftykins> yep warnings been given :)
[21:24] <yao_ziyuan> solved.
[21:24] <lrojas> ikonia: i am  installing inside a VM for a very specific software i need to run ( businnes need )
[21:25] <ikonia> lrojas: ? so why do you need a minimal install ?
[21:25] <ikonia> why not just a standard stable install
[21:25] <ikonia> inside a vm has nothing to do with it
[21:25] <lrojas> ikonia: i dont need to have music player, camera, office software, etc
[21:25] <ikonia> lrojas: it takes up almost no disk space
[21:25] <ikonia> why risk compatability for "business" need
[21:25] <ikonia> it's easier to do an install and remove what you don't need
[21:25] <Bashing-om> Ghost_r00t: I do suggest that you use a EFI booted systems config file for your reference . I am sure mine would only serve to confuse .
[21:25] <tanepiper> @daftykins No can't even get to TTY1
[21:26] <lrojas> ikonia: but my point is, when i try to remove libreoffice i end up removing gnome-desktop components and breaking the environment, my question is why do i NEED to install libreoffice in the first place?
[21:26] <tanepiper> It is black, show the login prompt so briefly then just continues in a loop
[21:26] <ikonia> lrojas: you don't
[21:26] <Ghost_r00t> Bashing-om: give it. i would take a look. but the live usb doesn't have a cfg file.
[21:26] <tanepiper> Doing a fresh install
[21:27] <ikonia> lrojas: but if you're not comfortable managing packags, you'd be better losing a few meg a of disk space and trusting the ubuntu destkopers to deliver a working system
[21:27] <daftykins> tanepiper: ok, you could boot the live session, chroot and fix it but that'd be about as quick :)
[21:27] <ikonia> lrojas: just as you have libre office installed, you don't need to use it
[21:27] <ikonia> just ignore it
[21:27] <ikonia> and be confident your system will work
[21:27] <kolin89> oh no
[21:27] <wafflejock> lrojas: could always start with ubuntu server and add on the DE if you want it
[21:27] <lrojas> ikonia: we are back to square one, my question was not a minimal install was.. how do i nstall ubuntu-gnome without libreoffice and all the crappy extra apps that i dont need
[21:27] <ikonia> lrojas: why do you care really ?
[21:27] <ikonia> the disk space usage isn't huge
[21:28] <ikonia> and it's clear you're not really on top of managing the packages, so why not just leave it
[21:28] <Ghost_r00t> when does an ubuntu install becomes EFI? is it related to its bootloader? (or it should be installed over more than one partition)?
[21:28] <Bashing-om> Ghost_r00t: Mine: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14037163/ .
[21:28] <lrojas> ikonia: fair enough, but why do i need to have it in the first place?
[21:28] <ikonia> lrojas: because it's the standard installed aimed at the majority of users
[21:28] <ikonia> you don't "have" to have anything
[21:29] <lrojas> ikonia: i think we will just have to agree to disagree, there should be an option like minimal desktop or something, where you have the desktop and the apps are left to me to install/manage
[21:29] <wafflejock> lrojas: the distribution is made for the typical desktop user with tools for stuff regular users might do, the LTS releases have stability in mind for regular desktop users, if that's not what you're looking for maybe it's not what you want
[21:29] <cl0ckw0rk> Irojas: Maybe you can unclick 3rd party apps when setting ubuntu up, it may help
[21:30] <ikonia> lrojas: yet you seem unable to manage the apps
[21:30] <ikonia> lrojas: so you've just proven th epoint that it's best to install for the general mass and trust that people can customize it if they are knowledgeable of it
[21:30] <lrojas> ikonia: is not that i am unable to manage the apps, is that dependencies are absurd
[21:30] <ikonia> lrojas: they can be managed
[21:30] <jwood1> hey everybody, i installed ubuntu 15.10 on an old laptop today and got stuck in a login loop. looked up the problem and, without knowing anything about it, tried to fix that. i got past it, but deleted compiz in the process. i tried to reinstall it via terminal but can't get it to work. i have a taskbar (at the top) at the login scrreen, but as soon as i login it vanishes. is there anybody that could help me with more than a one-liner (i can google those
[21:30] <jwood1> answer myself...)?
[21:30] <lrojas> why does gnome-desktop get removed when wiping LibreOffice?
[21:31] <ikonia> lrojas: hence why there is "gnome-desktop" and "ubuntu-desktop" mega packages (or unity-desktop)
[21:31] <ikonia> lrojas: because it's a meta package
[21:31] <ikonia> lrojas: and doesn't really matter
[21:31] <daftykins> jwood1: possibly not what you want to hear but i'd say 14.04 makes more sense on older hardware
[21:31] <lrojas> *sigh*
[21:31] <ikonia> lrojas: no need to sigh
[21:31] <jwood1> yeah, i tried that first. didnt work (login loop), so i installed 15.10, thats where im at right now
[21:32] <cl0ckw0rk> jwood1: you can try lubuntu if you have a really old laptop
[21:32] <nicomachus> 14.04 didn't work so you tried 15.10?
[21:32] <Moonman> i hate ubuntu
[21:32] <Moonman> i always get system program problem detected
[21:32] <ikonia> Moonman: don't use it then, you're in a support channel
[21:32] <swcdx> tell me why?
[21:32] <Moonman> and have to reinstall
[21:32] <jwood1> i am an ubuntu noob. i have no idea what i am doing the most time :D
[21:33] <jwood1> thats why im asking here
[21:34] <lrojas> ikonia: i sight because i feel this is going in circles... like going to the cafeteria and asking, can i have a sandwich but dont put tomato on it... and then they bring it with tomato anyway but the cheeze is melted on the tomato and i cant remove the tomato without taking out the cheeze, so i ask if there is a way to ask for the sandwich without tomato and people are saying... just leave the tomato, most people like it... if you dont, remove it..
[21:34] <lrojas> . and when i say it is not straight forward to remove it, then i get accused of not knowing how to remove the tomato properly
[21:35] <OerHeks> lrojas, how did you try to remove LO? sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice*  # mind the * at the end
[21:35] <wafflejock> lrojas: if I run sudo apt-get remove -s libreoffice-* I don't see it removing the desktop environment, I'm using Ubuntu Gnome as well
[21:35] <ikonia> lrojas: it's pretty straight forward
[21:35] <ikonia> lrojas: just have to pay attention and make a judgement on it's dependency removes
[21:35] <jwood1> oh well, what a bummer. gonna try lubuntu then. hoped to get some people that would guide me through my problems
[21:35] <ikonia> and balance what you need/disk space against stability
[21:35] <lrojas> if you only remove libreoffice, you miss a couple of packages that are part of the libreoffice install
[21:35] <daftykins> jwood1: i think there's an issue here which is better served by getting to the root of the problem, 14.04 doesn't install with login loop issues :) also, full ubuntu is likely inappropriate depending upon the age of this system, xubuntu or even lubuntu may be more apt
[21:36] <daftykins> jwood1: yes, you just have to be a little more patient than 2 minutes...
[21:36] <OerHeks> lrojas, autoremove would solve that
[21:36] <Bashing-om> jwood1: Lubuntu is a faster, more lightweight and energy saving variant of Ubuntu using LXDE, the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment. It is targeted at "normal" PC and laptop users running on low-spec hardware. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu .
[21:36] <lrojas> apt-get -s remove fonts-opensymbol libreoffice libreoffice-\* openoffice.org-dtd-officedocument1.0 python\*-uno uno-libs3-\* ure ure-dbg
[21:36] <jwood1> the laptop is not that bad. 4gb ram, amd athlon x2
[21:36] <daftykins> i'd go xubuntu on that then
[21:36] <daftykins> what's the graphics hardware?
[21:37] <ikonia> lrojas: it's up to you what you do
[21:37] <ikonia> if this is for business as you say, I advise you to be pragmatic
[21:37] <lettuce45> one of my HDD is called v1, but every time I plug it in it gets renamed v11
[21:37] <cl0ckw0rk> jwood1: got 2gb ram, using zorinos, completely satisfied
[21:37] <jwood1> some ati card
[21:37] <lettuce45> çapparently there is a phantom v1 there that wont go away
[21:37] <jwood1> so, lubuntu or xubuntu then. any recommendations?
[21:37] <daftykins> jwood1: can you boot right now to check?
[21:37] <daftykins> i think i already gave mine
[21:38] <daftykins> jwood1: have a look at pictures, whilst lu is lighter i find it ugly as all hell
[21:38] <jwood1> if you give me a terminal command i can check
[21:38] <lrojas> ikonia: i am no longer trying to disentangle libreoffice from gnome, but is a question that is worth asking nonetheless...
[21:38] <euviuss> hi. i just did a fresh install from usb stick.  no dual boot.  at the end of the install i get this message :The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot.
[21:38] <euviuss> what can i do to fix this
[21:38] <ikonia> lrojas: what question ?
[21:38] <daftykins> jwood1: lspci
[21:39] <lettuce45> jwood1, lubuntu for servers xubuntu for minimalist computers
[21:39] <lrojas> why when i try to remove the full libreoffice package there are dependencies that remove gnome-desktop
[21:39] <cl0ckw0rk> jwood1: I suggest zorin-os, ıt's an ubuntu distro with more bill gates lol
[21:39] <ikonia> lrojas: what do you want us to do about that ?
[21:39] <daftykins> lettuce45: oh dear tux no, GUIs don't belong on servers.
[21:39] <jwood1> modility radeon hd 3450/3470
[21:39] <lrojas> ikonia: i dont want you to do anything, i was asking if anybody knew why it was like that
[21:40] <lettuce45> what do I do with my v1-v11?
[21:40] <cl0ckw0rk> Irojas: I miss the previous parts, how did you remove libreoffice? synaptic or package manager?
[21:40] <ikonia> lrojas: because the meta packages are designed for the majority user
[21:40] <ikonia> to make life easier for the majority users
[21:40] <daftykins> lrojas: the 'buntus are for new users, typically anyone wanting a minimal setup would know what they're doing so wouldn't have an issue with a distro taking up 3GB of disk space in 2015.
[21:41] <jwood1> zorinos looks good, gonna try that
[21:41] <tanepiper> @daftykins OK fresh install and updated 15.10 running - but before I do anything for drivers, my device is a NVidia Optimus (i.e. 950m + Intel 5000)
[21:41] <tanepiper> What's the best recommendation from here (since clearly installing the nvidia drivers doesn't work)
[21:41] <Bashing-om> jwood1: AMD dropped support for that card .. only driver available will be open source .
[21:41] <daftykins> jwood1: that's a mistake.
[21:42] <daftykins> tanepiper: well which did the GUI offer you to install, to start with?
[21:42] <jwood1> daftykins: you mean zorinos?
[21:42] <lrojas> ikonia: again, i dont consider that to be a valid reason, that's a cop-out answer, when they perfectly could have provided a meta-package for the desktop environment and one for the full-blown end user experience.
[21:42] <euviuss> its a fresh install so idk why i'd get an error
[21:42] <ikonia> lrojas: it's not a cop out
[21:42] <ikonia> lrojas: its the real workd
[21:42] <ikonia> world
[21:42] <daftykins> jwood1: yes
[21:42] <ikonia> if you don't like the answer, it won't change it,
[21:42] <benicetopeople> tanepiper: i'm curious why do you need the nvidia drivers(proprietary of course)?
[21:42] <jwood1> daftykins: can you elaborate why?
[21:42] <cl0ckw0rk> daftykins: why?
[21:42] <tanepiper> @daftykins I wasn't given any option
[21:43] <daftykins> tanepiper: how-so? there was only one?
[21:43] <Bashing-om> tanepiper: ' sudo ubuntu-drivers list ' is the 358 version offered ?
[21:43] <daftykins> jwood1: you won't be able to benefit from this lovely support channel if you do
[21:43] <daftykins> (for one)
[21:44] <tanepiper> nvidia-352, nvidia-352-updates and intel-microcode
[21:44] <jwood1> ^^ isnt lubuntu/xubuntu on an own channel, too?
[21:44] <HoloIRCUser> Hello
[21:44] <ikonia> lrojas: have a look at the ubuntu-minimal meta package, see if that ticks your box
[21:44] <daftykins> jwood1: they do have specific channels, but they are on topic here also.
[21:44] <cl0ckw0rk> daftykins: but zorin-os is an ubuntu distro, which means he can use same commands, same channel and askubuntu.com
[21:44] <ikonia> (I've not used it in a long time so I don't know i fit's complete enough for you)
[21:44] <daftykins> tanepiper: and which did you apply last?
[21:44] <ikonia> cl0ckw0rk: we dont support zorin here
[21:44] <daftykins> cl0ckw0rk: no it does not, distros BASED on ubuntu are off topic here.
[21:44] <Bashing-om> tanepiper: Ummm Nvidia recommends the 358 version ... PPA time ?
[21:44] <tanepiper> None, at the moment I'm set to use Nouveau
[21:45] <ikonia> and it's quite different and unstable
[21:45] <daftykins> !elementary | cl0ckw0rk as an example...
[21:45] <cl0ckw0rk> ikonia: well just support apt-get then..
[21:45] <ikonia> cl0ckw0rk: no
[21:45] <nicomachus> cl0ckw0rk: it's not supported here. those are the guidelines.
[21:45] <Bashing-om> tanepiper: However, if nouveau performs for ya .. do not fix it .
[21:46] <daftykins> tanepiper: yes what went wrong last though? which ones did you apply?
[21:46] <cl0ckw0rk> I will pretend ubuntu-users then
[21:46] <tanepiper> @daftykins OK - so when I first installed 15.10 Gnome, I then installed the NVidia driver which stuck me in a bootloop and I couldn't even access TTY1
[21:47] <tanepiper> I've done a fresh install, I was given no options - it just installed and currently defaults to Nouveau
[21:47] <jwood1> alright, im going to try xubuntu. i am currently using an usb stick with the universal usb installer from linuxpendrive. is that recommended way or is that prone to errors?
[21:47] <daftykins> tanepiper: i know but i'm asking which of what you told me are available, you selected that first time :) when it went wrong
[21:48] <tanepiper> @daftykins yes, I selected the 352 proprietary drivers and it broke
[21:48] <daftykins> okie dokie
[21:48] <daftykins> tanepiper: i recommend you add this official PPA - https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
[21:49] <lrojas> is there a equivalent command using dpkg or apt-{get,cache} for "aptitude search '~i'"
[21:49] <ikonia> lrojas: any good to you ?
[21:49] <daftykins> lrojas: apt-cache search x
[21:49] <daftykins> tanepiper: once it is added (instructions are on the page) install nvidia-355 and nvidia-prime together
[21:50] <tanepiper> OK, will give it a try
[21:50] <lrojas> daftykins: apt-cache search x, as far as i get understand it, list a specifi package, aptitude search '~i' list installed packages and the ones that where installed automatically to satisfy dependencies show with an A
[21:51] <lrojas> ikonia: i will try using that, maybe that will solve the issue
[21:51] <daftykins> no, installed packages is "dpkg -l | grep x" which'd report package names including 'x'
[21:52] <daftykins> "apt-cache search x" searches for packages in repos named x
[21:52] <k1l_> lrojas: what is the issue anyway?
[21:53] <daftykins> no issue, just one of those folks wanting to do a minimal install for odd reasons, k1l_ :)
[21:53] <lrojas> k1l_: not sure what of my questions are you refering to
 ikonia: i will try using that, maybe that will solve the issue
[21:54] <Bashing-om> lrojas: Enhancements now in apt . try ' apt list <package> ' see " man apt " .
[21:54] <daftykins> :O
[21:54] <lrojas> daftykins: fair enough, my question was how can i do the equivalent to aptitude search '~i' using apt or dpkg, considering that aptitude search '~i' shows installed packages and identifies the packages that where autoinstalled to satisfy dependencies with an "A"
[21:55] <lrojas> Bashing-om: let me check that... perhaps
[21:56] <tanepiper> @daftykins OK drivers and prime installed.  Anything I should do before I reboot?
[21:56] <daftykins> lrojas: you would select a package from my earlier pointed out commands and then query that ones dependencies via "apt-cache depends <package>" or rdepends
[21:56] <daftykins> tanepiper: nope give it a go!
[21:57] <Bashing-om> lrojas: K .. lots has been added to the revampted apt . Many added switches also .
[21:57] <lrojas> daftykins: but i am not looking for a specific package, i actually want the list of installed packages that where installed automatically
[21:57] <benicetopeople> jwood: well using a usb stick isn't bad, just be sure to use the right creation tool.
[21:58] <tanepiper> @daftykins nope, stuck in a loop again and can't get TTY1
[21:58] <daftykins> lrojas: you mean that were on there immediately after you booted in for the first time?
[21:58] <jwood1> benicetopeople im using the one from linuxpendrive
[21:58] <daftykins> tanepiper: ok, third time lucky you could try the same thing but with the intel update mentioned in the ubuntu-drivers recommendations also
[21:59] <lrojas> daftykins: no, automatically installed means, that you issued apt-get install x, but to satisfy dependencies it installed x, y and z
[21:59] <lrojas> y and z are automatically installed packages
[21:59] <daftykins> lrojas: no those are dependencies... which is what i just told you.
[22:00] <Li> I was able to reduce file size using this command "ffmpeg -i 1.mp4 -vf scale=iw/2:-1 -strict -2 1.mp4" but the text rendered unreadable! is there any better ways to do it?
[22:00] <daftykins> i think i understand what you're saying now, you want to know which were system wide and not just from a single package, i get it
[22:00] <daftykins> no idea :)
[22:00] <benicetopeople> jwood1: that's a nice tool, but since you have linux installed, might as well download the xubuntu ISO and do it on the terminal.
[22:00] <daftykins> and to be honest i don't want to assist in your crazy minimalist plan, i think it's a huge waste of time
[22:01] <Bashing-om> lrojas: ' dpkg --get-selections' ?? will dump a list of all packages you have installed,
[22:01] <tanepiper> OK will chroot and purge the nvidia stuff
[22:01] <jwood1> nah, i only have windows so far. this is my first try on linux (except tails)
[22:02] <lrojas> Bashing-om: but it wont show wich ones where installed automatically... never mind i think that is just a feature of aptitude when you use it to manage the system
[22:02] <daftykins> tanepiper: you might be able to just install the intel thing from ubuntu-drivers on the command line actually, so if you set up your chroot just do that instead of removing nvidia.
[22:02] <daftykins> jwood1: i've had good results with UUI
[22:05] <jwood1> installing xubuntu atm, should i check "download updates while isntalling" and "install this third party software (for flash, mp3 etc)?
[22:05] <k1l_> yes
[22:05] <benicetopeople> ^
[22:18] <sjjenni> I have mailed people whom when I send the first time I get a message back telling me to re-send to whitelist myself, this is apparently provided by boxtrapper which is part of cpanel.  Is there an equivalent addon or something for postfix?
[22:19] <ikonia> sjjenni: what ?
[22:19] <euviuss> hello.  i tried to install 15.10 but then i ran into this new uefi thing, and it wont finish installing. what do i do.  i have bios
[22:19] <bazhang> #postfix sjjenni
[22:19] <euviuss> i never had this problem before
[22:21] <Bashing-om> !uefi | euviuss
[22:22] <acro458> Does the 'm' in the top command mean mb? so 1465m is roughly 1.465gb? (http://imgur.com/MKnZypx)
[22:22] <euviuss> thx. i'll look at that again
[22:22] <euviuss> the thing is
[22:22] <euviuss> I dont have a UEFI machine
[22:23] <Bashing-om> euviuss: Then single boot or dual booting ? GPT ot MBR partitioning ?
[22:24] <euviuss> im using the whole disk. so ssingle.  i dont know what gpt or mbr is
[22:24] <euviuss> fresh install, whole disk, is what im trying to do with a live usb
[22:26] <euviuss> i really just want to use standard bios, but this usb image seems to be uefi.
[22:28] <trocosenhaporcev> try enter bios and punt usb devices like legacy
[22:29] <sebastian_> I got the ISO image for tinycorelinux, I extracted it, now i need to change my boot sequence (without destroying everything) to boot from those files, how can i do this? the people at tinycorelinux irc don't seem to have much experience with this thx
[22:29] <sebastian_> and i am on ubuntu
[22:30] <euviuss> what do you mean
[22:31] <isomarcte> I have some users using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and I need to install an updated version of a package. Neither trusty or trusty-backports contains the up to date version. Is it possible/safe to enable repos for future versions (vivid, wily)?
[22:31] <k1l_> sebastian_: put/burn that iso on a usb or cd/dvd and boot it? i dont really see the issue for ubuntu in that
[22:32] <sebastian_> i want to extract the image and boot it from hd
[22:32] <sebastian_> k1l_
[22:33] <SteveWV> hello!  Anyone willing to give me a hand with a permissions issue....Plex server/Ubuntu Mate?
[22:34] <k1l_> sebastian_: that still depends heavily on tinycorelinux.
[22:34] <sebastian_> k1l_, i understand but what i need is to modify ubuntu's grub boot up sequence safely
[22:35] <Bashing-om> euviuss: The ubuntu installer does not care what mode it is in a single boot situation , It will install in whatever mode you boot the firmware with . We will require more details in order to assist you .
[22:35] <DirtyCajun> stevewv whats up?
[22:35] <k1l_> sebastian_: then try ##linux
[22:36] <SteveWV> Well...I've got a Ubuntu Mate box that I've installed Plex on...seems to be working fine, but it won't read the movies that are located on an attached USB drive.  Can you assist?
[22:36] <euviuss> Bashing-om, i have a bios system,  i made a live usb and rebooted into the usb, and installed.  but the usb is in uefi mode
[22:37] <euviuss> so now it wont finish installing, because i dont have uefi
[22:37] <euviuss> how do i make the installer do it in bios mode
[22:37] <isomarcte> euviuss: What do you mean the USB is in UEFI mode? The usb can't be in UEFI mode if you don't have UEFI, AFAIK.
[22:38] <isomarcte> euviuss: If all you need is to install grub, you can boot to a live media, and install grub from there
[22:38] <euviuss> this live version, i ran a command that said its in uefi.  also, in the bios, it said the usbstick is in uefi mode
[22:38] <RazorGT-500> Yo !
[22:38] <isomarcte> euviuss: Then you DO have UEFI
[22:38] <euviuss> i think i already have grub
[22:38] <euviuss> im so confused
[22:38] <isomarcte> euviuss: The BIOS won't report anything about UEFI unless you have UEFI
[22:38] <euviuss> ok
[22:39] <isomarcte> euviuss: You should boot to a live disk and run 'efibootmgr' from the terminal
[22:39] <isomarcte> and post the output here if you can
[22:39] <euviuss> The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot.
[22:40] <isomarcte> euviuss: So grub failed
[22:40] <isomarcte> euviuss: Seems to be the error
[22:40] <euviuss> ok
[22:40] <RazorGT-500> what you speak /
[22:40] <euviuss> maybe its because i switched the boot order from the main HD to the USB for the installation
[22:41] <isomarcte> So
[22:41] <euviuss> No BootOrder is set; firmware will attempt recovery
[22:41] <isomarcte> If UEFI is installed correctly
[22:41] <isomarcte> You should be able to boot into the BIOS
[22:41] <isomarcte> and select grub from there
[22:41] <isomarcte> since UEFI adds a boot entry in the BIOS
[22:41] <isomarcte> er
[22:41] <isomarcte> if GRUB is installed correctly
[22:41] <isomarcte> if it is not
[22:41] <isomarcte> you will need to boot to live media
[22:41] <isomarcte> and then install it
[22:41] <euviuss> i mightve overwritten it
[22:42] <euviuss> im on live media now
[22:42] <isomarcte> what is the output of `sudo efibootmgr`?
[22:42] <isomarcte> you might need to install it
[22:42] <euviuss> i did, it doesnt need sudo in this live version apparently
[22:42] <cambursano> hello
[22:43] <euviuss> No BootOrder is set; firmware will attempt recovery
[22:43] <euviuss> is the outpout
[22:43] <euviuss> sudo apt-get install grub  ?
[22:44] <daftykins> !grub
[22:44] <isomarcte> oh
[22:44] <isomarcte> You should probably take a look at this
[22:44] <isomarcte> !uefi
[22:44] <cambursano> !list
[22:45] <euviuss> cant i go back to bios/grub
[22:45] <euviuss> i dont need uefi
[22:45] <cambursano> quit
[22:45] <isomarcte> Well
[22:45] <isomarcte> Yes
[22:45] <isomarcte> Are you multi-booting to windows?
[22:45] <euviuss> no
[22:45] <euviuss> single, whole disk
[22:45] <isomarcte> Is it GPT formatted?
[22:46] <isomarcte> or MBR?
[22:46] <isomarcte> I assume GPT...
[22:46] <euviuss> gpt
[22:46] <isomarcte> So then you can do a legacy BIOS boot on GPT
[22:46] <isomarcte> You need to add a bios boot parition
[22:46] <qinusty> can anyone help me narrow down an issue I am having booting? I ran update-initramfs after a few changes to my xorg.conf.d files and I'm getting issues booting. I have booted into a live usb and undone my changes however this has not rectified the problem. any suggestions on log files to check?
[22:47] <euviuss> so i do this in the installer , with a manual setting
[22:47] <euviuss> how do i ]
[22:48] <euviuss> cant i just wipe the whole disk clean and let the installer make it for me automatically
[22:48] <Bashing-om> qinusty: Have you tried to boot in "recovery" mode ?
[22:49] <qinusty> i cant get my grub menu up :/
[22:49] <qinusty> Bashing-om: ^
[22:50] <Bashing-om> qinusty: Ouch .. that sounds like a situation TJ- is better qyalified to handle . // Are you able to effect a CHange Root into the install ?
[22:51] <isomarcte> euviuss: So
[22:51] <isomarcte> euviuss: I don't know why UEFI isn't working for you
[22:51] <qinusty> yes, I am chrooted in on a live usb
[22:51] <isomarcte> euviuss: It should
[22:51] <isomarcte> euviuss: However, if you want do something unorthodox, like a BIOS boot on a GPT disk
[22:52] <qinusty> Bashing-om: ^
[22:52] <isomarcte> euviuss: You will probably need to partition the disk yourself
[22:52] <isomarcte> euviuss: If you setup the boot loader correctly using legacy BIOS with GPT, then I *think* the installer will detect it and use it.
[22:52] <isomarcte> euviuss: But YMMV
[22:52] <MonkeyDust> what's ymmv?
[22:53] <euviuss> your mileage may vary
[22:53] <isomarcte> I can't find a good ubuntu based documentation on the process
[22:53] <isomarcte> but there is a good one here
[22:53] <euviuss> i never had this problem before
[22:53] <euviuss> did 15.10 change
[22:54] <isomarcte> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Grub#GUID_Partition_Table_.28GPT.29_specific_instructions
[22:54] <isomarcte> You will have to translate any Arch specific commands to Ubuntu land, but they should *mostly* be the same.
[22:54] <isomarcte> for this case...
[22:55] <TJ-> isomarcte: euviuss BIOS boot of GPT is perfectly routine; create a 1-2MB BIOS Boot partition at the start of the disk for GRUB's core.img (gdisk type EF02).
[22:55] <euviuss> ok, thanks for all the help
[22:55] <euviuss> i dont know how to do any of that
[22:55] <isomarcte> TJ-: Not sure what you mean by that...Are you saying it is the standard way the Ubuntu installer does it?
[22:55] <TJ-> isomarcte: euviuss Create a hybrid MBR that contains that partition too, and it'll work even on PCs whose BIOS doesn't understand GPT (older BIOS)
[22:56] <euviuss> oh man
[22:56] <retrojeff> we all need a good laugh...ok ready...3....2....1.....
[22:56] <retrojeff> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1
[22:56] <ikonia> retrojeff: don't need to spam junk in here
[22:56] <euviuss> i appreciate the help but im too ignorant about that stuff
[22:56] <retrojeff> its not junk its funny its bug #1
[22:56] <euviuss> i'll try 14
[22:56] <ikonia> retrojeff: don't need it in here
[22:56] <euviuss> 14.04
[22:56] <isomarcte> euviuss: Always good to learn :)
[22:56] <daftykins> retrojeff: this is not a chat channel, #ubuntu-offtopic thanks - also everyone knows about that one :(
[22:56] <TJ-> isomarcte: I think it depends on which ubuntu release; certainly recent releases are using parted and GPT
[22:56] <isomarcte> euviuss: It really isn't that hard
[22:57] <qinusty> so when I boot, I get a command line <hostname> tty1 with a login: on a new line. however keyboard input does nothing to the login....
[22:57] <isomarcte> TJ-: I know they are using GPT
[22:57] <Bashing-om> qinusty: Maybe - do you know the booted kernel when you made your changes ? Then something like ' sudo update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.35-28-generic ' to rewrite the imange .
[22:57] <isomarcte> TJ-: I thought they were using UEFI/GPT if the efivars were available and MBR if otherwise
[22:58] <TJ-> isomarcte: GPT should be used for larger disks, I think its the default now. I'd have to check to be 100% certain.
[22:58] <isomarcte> TJ-: Even for non-UEFI systems?
[22:58] <isomarcte> TJ-: I guess that would make sense
[22:58] <TJ-> isomarcte: Yes
[22:59] <isomarcte> TJ-: I still think he will have to do it manually if the system IS UEFI, otherwise the installer will attempt a UEFI install
[22:59] <TJ-> isomarcte: There's no reason not to use GPT and plenty of reasons in its favour. Even on BIOS systems I use GPT and create an EFI System Partition for future compatiblity (disk moves to a UEFI system easily then)
[22:59] <qinusty> Bashing-om: would it be an initrd.img-... or vmlinuz-...
[22:59] <isomarcte> TJ-: Oh I completely agree.
[23:00] <TJ-> isomarcte: generally the PC UEFI boot menu should offer 2 boot options for the isntaller, Legacy and EFI. Sometimes the wording is unclear as to which is which
[23:00] <isomarcte> TJ-: Well, he can certainly disable UEFI completely in the BIOS, that will force Ubuntu to use the EF02 partition
[23:01] <isomarcte> euviuss: If you are still around you might want to try that ^^^
[23:01] <isomarcte> euviuss: If you are afraid of doing it by hand
[23:01] <euviuss> hm
[23:01] <Bashing-om> qinusty: Both are a part of initramfs . That is what will be when booting, write from ram back to the operating system during boot .
[23:01] <euviuss> this is my error message after the install
[23:01] <euviuss> The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot.
[23:01] <euviuss> so how would i install a grub boot loader
[23:01] <TJ-> isomarcte: well it doesn't work like that directly; In Legacy/BIOS mode the firmware does the standard read of sector 0 into memory at 07C00 and executes it. It's that code that loads core.img from the BIOS boot parition
[23:01] <euviuss> maybe that would fix it
[23:02] <TJ-> euviuss: did you install via the "Try Ubuntu" mode?
[23:02] <euviuss> from within the live instance
[23:02] <TJ-> euviuss: so you have access to the desktop, can open a terminal, etc.?
[23:02] <euviuss> i did both
[23:03] <euviuss> yes
[23:03] <TJ-> euviuss: good, that's the important bit. It allows us to some decent diagnostics and fix it up easily
[23:03] <TJ-> euviuss: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit"
[23:03] <euviuss> done
[23:04] <TJ-> euviuss: then "pastebinit <( uname -a; ls -l /sys/firmware/efi/; cat /proc/mounts )"
[23:05] <qinusty> Bashing-om: I occasionally get "problem loading in-kernel X-509 Certificate (-74)
[23:06] <Bashing-om> qinusty: Sorry, never encountered such . No idea if what is taking place .
[23:06] <qinusty> anyone got any suggestions before I resorted to reinstalling? :p
[23:07] <euviuss> do you care if it's not standard ubuntu
[23:07] <qinusty> me?
[23:07] <TJ-> euviuss: what does that mean?
[23:07] <euviuss> i dont want to waste your time
[23:08] <euviuss> its kubuntu
[23:08] <TJ-> euviuss: Oh, Kubuntu is fine, as long as its an official deravative. I use it myself.
[23:08] <euviuss> ok
[23:08] <euviuss> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14040017/
[23:09] <Bashing-om> TJ-: euviuss I was going to day that ^ - kubuntu is TJ- 's prefered system .

[23:10] <TJ-> euviuss: "pastebinit <( sudo parted /dev/sda unit s print )"
[23:10] <Bashing-om> qinusty: A thought, as you can not boot into grub, purge grub and re-install from that CHroot ?

[23:11] <k1l_> ExeciN: what program is that? are you the developer?
[23:12] <TJ-> euviuss: I'm guessing /dev/sda2 is the root partition where the installation was done?
[23:12] <ExeciN> k1l_: yes. I am only using fltk as of now

[23:16] <teward> htaccess: is your goal to remove all the elasticsearch packages, or just that repository from updates?
[23:16] <ExeciN> k1l_: thanks
[23:16] <TJ-> euviuss: OK, so lets install it in the chroot now: "apt-get install pastebinit"
[23:16] <htaccess> teward: the repository from my sources
[23:17] <TJ-> euviuss: I'm hoping the networking has configured correctly and you have DNs inside the chroot :)
[23:17] <teward> htaccess: just remove that file, sudo /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elasticsearch.list*
[23:17] <euviuss> should i run which again
[23:17] <teward> erm
[23:17] <teward> htaccess: just remove that file: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elasticsearch.list*
[23:17] <TJ-> euviuss: you can, to prove it installed :)
[23:17] <euviuss> pastebinit is already the newest version.

[23:19] <htaccess> perhaps it should be renamed add-apt-ppa-repository
[23:19] <k1l_> htaccess: it doesnt work that way. you need to name the exact repo
[23:20] <TJ-> euviuss: Looking good do far; now "pastebinit <( find /boot/efi -ls )"
[23:20] <k1l_> ah ok.
[23:20] <euviuss> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14040244/
[23:21] <TJ-> euviuss: no sign of problems there! "pastebinit <( apt list 'grub*' | grep installed )"
[23:22] <jackespio> is it ubuntu help channel?
[23:22] <k1l_> jackespio: yes
[23:22] <euviuss> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14040261/
[23:23] <TJ-> euviuss: "pastebinit <( efibootmgr -v )"

[23:24] <jackespio> guys, i want to specialize my desktop apperiance like changing color of folders
[23:24] <jackespio> how can i do that?
[23:24] <jackespio> or which program i should download?
[23:24] <k1l_> jackespio: look out for a icon theme that suits you
[23:25] <jackespio> i know but i want to download new items
[23:25] <jackespio> i already used them
[23:26] <Bashing-om> !themes | jackespio
[23:26] <TJ-> euviuss: OK, I'm beginning to see what the situation is. That message "The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into /target/ ..." is unexpected since that package (....-signed) is the SecureBoot EFI signed GRUB core image, but your system has the unsigne grub-efi-amd64-bin package installed.
[23:27] <TJ-> euviuss: however, Ubuntu wasn't added to the PC's EFI boot menu
[23:27] <TJ-> euviuss: Does the PC usually boot in SecureBoot mode?
[23:27] <euviuss> i dont know
[23:27] <reza_sam> hi any body can solve my problem?? this is my problem http://imgur.com/R86rJlN
[23:28] <jackespio> does it normal installing like Windows?
[23:28] <jackespio> or need i type some commands for download themes
[23:28] <jackespio> ?
[23:28] <xangua> maybe this works for you? http://www.webupd8.org/2014/04/folder-color-easily-change-folder-icon.html jackespio
[23:29] <TJ-> euviuss: it doesn't need to, and currently the OS isn't set to use SecureBoot files. Let's try to fix the current config. "grub-install -v | tee /dev/stderr > /tmp/grub.log"
[23:30] <Bashing-om> !changethemes | jackespio Keep in mind this is not Windows !
[23:30] <euviuss> done
[23:30] <TJ-> euviuss: OK, now "pastebinit /tmp/grub.log"
[23:30] <xangua> reza_sam: you could elaborate what you did, but I'm guessing you added a third party repository but didn't add the keys
[23:30] <euviuss> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14040337/
[23:30] <euviuss> nice
[23:30] <euviuss> grub
how can i fix it?
[23:31] <k1l_> reza_sam: you wanted to intsall a .deb package?
[23:31] <xangua> !ppaerr
[23:31] <Bashing-om> reza_sam: Show the channel the outputs in a pastebin ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo apt-get -f install ' .
 i wanna install wine from software manager
[23:31] <euviuss> im not sure if the install finished when I got that one message
[23:31] <jackespio> guys i cant find MyUnity program when i type MyUnity in Software Manager
[23:32] <xangua> jackespio: you probably want unity-tweak-tool
[23:32] <k1l_> reza_sam: does this mean you downloaded a package?
[23:32] <xangua> !info unity-tweak-tool
 im installing 15.10 now after it i just install update from update manager and rebor system
[23:32] <jackespio> xangua: what i suppose to do?
[23:33] <TJ-> euviuss: well it added to the PC boot menu, but not the expected name (Ubuntu), so lets see if we can get the install to complete and then redo the grub-install. "apt-get dist-upgrade"
[23:33] <euviuss> im on live
[23:33] <xangua> !info unity-tweak-too | jackespio
[23:33] <Bashing-om> reza_sam: And now after the update you want to install wine ?
[23:33] <xangua> !info unity-tweak-tool
[23:33] <euviuss> TJ-, does it matter if im running the live version now
 yeah
[23:34] <TJ-> euviuss: right now, in the chroot, as far as the software is concerned this IS the installed system
[23:34] <euviuss> ok. it'll probably be a while
[23:34] <jackespio> !info unity-tweak-tool | jackespio
[23:34] <Bashing-om> reza_sam: OK, show us in a pastebin ' sudo apt install wine ' .
[23:34] <Lee_76> is there a free like AWS that runs ubuntu through a web browser?
[23:34] <Wilkim> I just wanted to know, what will I be missing out on if I use Ubuntu 14.04 instead of Ubuntu 15.10?
[23:34] <TJ-> euviuss: that's fine. This should complete whatever steps the installer may have failed to perform
[23:35] <euviuss> ok nice
[23:35] <k1l_> Wilkim: some programs will not be the 2015s versions. and no systemd but upstart as init system (doesnt matter for endusers)
 http://paste.ubuntu.com/14040386/
[23:36] <Bashing-om> Wilkim: Nothing, unless you beed the support for newer hardware and drivers .
[23:36] <Bashing-om> reza_sam: Look;n at your http://paste.ubuntu.com/14040386/ .
 so?
[23:37] <Wilkim> Thank you, if I want to use a PPA that only supports 14.10 or 15.04 but not 15.10, do you think I could just use the last version supported?
[23:37] <Loshki> Wilkim: 14.04 is an LTS. 15.10 is not. Expect higher stability from 14.04, but newer versions of apps in 15.10.
[23:37] <Ben64> Wilkim: don't mix versions
 look what?
[23:38] <TJ-> reza_sam: Bashing-om means he is looking at your pastebin
oh sry... tnx :)
[23:38] <Bashing-om> reza_sam: Your link . wine1.6 is in 14.04 . You say this is 15.10 .. so what results ' apt-cache policy wine ' ?
[23:39] <euviuss> TJ-, done
 im installing ubuntu 15.10
 how can i understand which ubuntu do i have?
[23:40] <TJ-> euviuss: OK, now lets see if "grub-install | tee /dev/stderr > /tmp/grub.2.log" does something different. After thatn finishes do "pastebinit /tmp/grub.2.log"
[23:40] <k1l_> reza_sam: are you installing or updateing right now?
[23:40] <TJ-> euviuss: arrg, make that "grub-install -v ...."
[23:40] <Bashing-om> reza_sam: Then we want to know the why the system is messing about with a 14.04 release application ? show us ' apt-cache policy wine ' .
[23:40] <k1l_> reza_sam: "lsb_release -d" will give you a number
[23:41] <Bashing-om> reza_sam: For release info do : ' lsb_release -a ' .
 tnx Description:	Ubuntu 15.10
 its result http://paste.ubuntu.com/14040454/
[23:42] <euviuss> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14040464/
[23:43] <k1l_> reza_sam:  apt-cache policy wine1.6
 http://paste.ubuntu.com/14040480/
[23:44] <TJ-> euviuss: Aha! You have a PC with buggy UEFI firmware; the menu setting isn't 'sticking' by the look of it
[23:44] <TJ-> euviuss: what is the make/model ?
[23:44] <k1l_> reza_sam: "sudo apt-get install wine1.6"
[23:44] <TJ-> euviuss: "dmesg | grep DMI" should tell you that plus the firmware version
 sudo apt-get install wine1.6
[23:45] <euviuss> [    0.000000] DMI: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. X551MA/X551MA, BIOS X551MA.512 08/12/2014

[23:45] <Bashing-om> !info wine wily
[23:45] <TJ-> euviuss: give me a few minutes to check up on that
 result is http://paste.ubuntu.com/14040496/
[23:48] <k1l_> reza_sam: is this a installed ubuntu?
[23:48] <Bashing-om> reza_sam: Seems I stand in error .. wine1.6 is valid from what I can find . try ' sudo apt install wine1.6 ' .
[23:48] <k1l_> reza_sam: or a live usb/dvd?
 :D im install it
[23:49] <euviuss> TJ-, i ran that command withouth -v  once.  i hope that didnt mess anything up
 and bashing  i can solve it...at first i use apt-get update after it use apt-get install wine ...it is work tnx :)
[23:51] <Bashing-om> reza_sam: :) was good practice for me . But sure had me going .
[23:51] <TJ-> euviuss: No, "-v" simply means "be verbose with messages"
[23:52] <wad> Hi guys. I'm very sad. :( My ubuntu desktop at work has developed a problem. It had this same problem about a year ago, and after many hours of troubleshooting, I finally had to wipe and reinstall. Lost like a day of work.
 so tnx my friend :*
[23:52] <wad> I can no longer update. It hangs forever on this line: "Setting up grub-pc (2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1.6) ..."
[23:52] <TJ-> euviuss: OK, It seems that model has a peculiar firmware Setup options that isn't entirely clear when you're in the Setup screens (after pressing F2 at power-on).
[23:53] <wad> This is 64-bit desktop 14.04LTS.
[23:53] <wad> I can't CTRL-C the process, I have to just kill the terminal.
[23:53] <maurelius> greetings
[23:53] <wad> Then I have to delete a bunch of lock files and other things.
[23:53] <euviuss_> is it easily fixable or lots more work
[23:53] <TJ-> euviuss: So, it looks like we need to do 3 reboots to fix it. Are you currently chatting on IRC from the problem PC?
[23:53] <euviuss_> yes
[23:54] <wad> But whenever I do anything to attempt to repair the system, it insists on going back to this grub-pc line, and SMACK, I'm screwed.
[23:54] <euviuss_> i'll go on andchat
[23:54] <TJ-> euviuss_: if I can give you clear instructions, it should be a case of changing/confirming 3 options in the firmware setup screens.
[23:54] <wad> Googling the issue shows me lots of commands, all of which result in the same problem. Hung on setting up grub-pc.
[23:55] <AGEWELL> hello?
[23:55] <euviuss_> TJ-, trying to connect with my phone
[23:56] <AGEWELL> what do i need to program Python on Ubuntu
[23:56] <wad> When I do "apt-get update", I get this: "dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." But if I follow these instructions, it just locks up hard on setting up grub-pc.
[23:58] <welovfree> hi
[23:58] <wad> Hey, maybe this is progress! I managed to get it into a state where only grub-pc is throwing errors.
[23:58] <euviuss_> TJ-, no luck connecting to freenode with my phone
[23:58] <welovfree> I am using ubuntu as a virtual machine in vmware, but the voice is not working
[23:58] <euviuss_> i'll remember what you say
[23:59] <wad> dpkg: error processing package grub-pc (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[23:59] <euviuss_> let me try chat.freenode. net
[23:59] <welovfree> the host is windows 10
