[00:00] euviuss_: Because I can't see the screens the Setup will display though, you'll have to use your Sherlock Holmes abilities to figure these things out. 1. Goto the Security tab and see if there is some kind of 'Security' option. If there is, from what I read, that needs enabling (maybe set a password) in order to make some other settings configurable! 2. Then, on other tab(s) disable Secure Boot and Fast Boot. [00:00] 3. It is possible, near the SecureBoot option, there is another option about 'Trusting' modules. When selected it opens a file-chooser in the EFI System Partition. If this is the case, navigate to the \EFI\ubuntu\ directory and mark grubx64.efy and shimx64.efi as trusted. Then save settings and exit Setup and try letting it boot. It may not at this point and you'll then need to reboot using the Live ISO so [00:00] we can redo the chroot and do another 'grub-install' - you might want to copy these instructions / print them !! [00:01] euviuss_: typo" grubx64.efy should be grubx64.efi [00:03] wad: show the whole output in a pastebin [00:03] Okay, I'm still trying stuff. 1 sec. [00:04] meh, freenode is hard to connect to. ok [00:04] TJ-, ok i think i have it memorized [00:06] k1l_, Here it is: http://pastebin.com/RuCgfTp9 [00:07] k1l_, and it's stuck again. :( [00:07] wad: how long did you wait? [00:07] In the past, 12 hours. [00:08] This time I haven't waited more than just maybe 3 minutes. [00:08] I'm letting it sit right now. [00:10] I've been killing processes. [00:10] wad: something like 3 mins should be enough if its not too slow hardware. is that some sort of special setup with disks? === lubuntu is now known as Guest87268 [00:10] All that's running now is xchat, htop, and this stuck update. [00:11] Nope, just 1 2TB SATA disk. [00:11] Not even dual boot, only ubuntu. [00:11] Thanks for taking the time to help me. :) [00:12] I'm going to close this terminal window to stop the process. [00:12] killed [00:12] maybe try to stop/kill it, then run sudo dpkg --configure -a first [00:12] ok [00:12] I have to clean out some locks, 1 sec. [00:13] Okay, I ran that. [00:13] run "sudo update-grub" before the dpkg cmmand [00:13] ok, doing it. [00:14] That worked. [00:14] done sudo dpkg --configure -a too? [00:14] yes [00:14] I'll do it again.... [00:15] Shall I do "apt-get install -f"? [00:15] after that run "sudo apt-get update &&sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" (will not upgrade to a new ubuntu release) [00:15] ok [00:16] TJ- thanks! it booted. i forgot to do that one step grubx64.efi . what do i do with that again [00:16] 1 not fully installed or removed. [00:16] E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [00:16] E: Unable to lock directory /var/cache/apt/archives/ [00:16] I'll get rid of that lock file.... [00:16] Hi [00:17] And it's back to "Setting up grub-pc (2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1.6) ...". :( [00:17] Euvius: you mean the system booted into the installed system OK? [00:18] there was a black screen for a little while, but im assuming thats an first-time startup thing [00:18] otherwise it worked after i did those 2 security settings. but i forgot what to do with grubx64.efi [00:19] Some googles gave me this, I'm gonna try it next: sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a [00:19] i disabled fast booting and secure boting [00:19] Euvius: black screen during boot sounds like a relatively common issue we see where the GPU can't be driven during early kernel boot-time. [00:19] Euvius: if it has booted then that step is not needed. [00:19] wad: did you run "sudo update-grub already? i am not sure what commands you ran now [00:19] Euvius: I read that the wifi won't work by default due to some module option being required. Is wifi working? [00:19] ok, thanks a ton. i really appreciate the help [00:20] i dont use wifi [00:20] k1l_, Yes, I ran that. [00:20] It was happy with that. [00:20] Euvius: OK, but it would be good to check it! [00:20] Euvius: do "rfkill list" [00:20] ok [00:20] I'll do it again. [00:20] Euvius: does it report the Wifi as Hard Blocked, or Soft Blocked? [00:21] all no [00:21] On my apache2 webserver anyone know how to respond 200 to my AWS ELB health check? [00:21] Euvius: Fab, then it looks OK [00:21] yay [00:21] I tried "apt-get install -f" to fix it, but it still hangs at the same place. [00:26] #ubuntu [00:27] ana_: yes you're in it! [00:28] wad: can you pastebin a "sudo update-grub"? [00:28] sure [00:29] one minor success at a time, right? [00:30] k1l_, http://pastebin.com/6efsXnUG [00:30] i can not install/remove any software. autoclean/autoremove doesnt work. try to use -finstall and it says broken pipe and full disk. ive try to use purge the images and i cant. here is my -f install http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14041041/ and my df -h http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14041056/ [00:30] whose [00:31] wad: hmm, the warning there should not be an issue [00:31] wad: try "sudo apt-get -o Debug::RunScripts=true -f" might reveal something [00:31] ok === u is now known as Guest73771 [00:31] wad: what gives you "ls -al /etc/grub.d/README" ? [00:32] ana_: is "df -i" full? [00:32] k1l_: wad . Update ? my system " sysop@1404mini:~$ uname -r >> 3.13.0-71-generic " . [00:33] k1l_, It doesn't like the -f in the command you gave me. [00:33] kll, yes http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14041089/ === hunter is now known as Guest67485 [00:33] wad: wad: what gives you "ls -al /etc/grub.d/README" ? no -f involved [00:33] cd [00:33] root@ericw:~# ls -al /etc/grub.d/README [00:33] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 483 Dec 15 09:09 /etc/grub.d/README [00:34] ana_: there you go. too much small files stored. [00:34] ana_: you need to remove some old linux-headers packages, that'll recover inodes [00:34] ana_: dpkg -l | grep linux- [00:34] ive try to use purge to the images but it does not work [00:34] how i purge the headers. [00:35] show a paste of the above and we'll get to that. [00:35] a lot, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14041129/ [00:35] ana_: k1l_ daftykins note there are two file-systems mounted as / there. one small, one larger [00:36] so, what to do? [00:36] ana_: "pastebinit <( cat /proc/mounts )" [00:37] hmm that's a weird one! [00:37] my tired eyes did not register that :> [00:37] k1l_, looks like README is not executable. [00:38] wad: yes, that is ok. [00:38] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14041162/ [00:38] I'm trying this now: grub-install /dev/sda [00:38] I'm going to reboot. [00:39] ana_: the entire command inside the double-quotes: "pastebinit <( cat /proc/mounts )" [00:42] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14041197/ [00:43] how about just "cat /proc/mounts" then pastebin manually? [00:43] or did it do as the last paste? [00:43] ana ^^^^ [00:43] ana, I didn't realise your package manager was so broken [00:44] hi guise [00:44] Is it possible to have a script that automatically makes a copy of a file after a change has been made to it? [00:45] Yuken, yes it is [00:45] hi all [00:45] what can i do? [00:45] do you know what either of the before or after expected values are? [00:45] holucon, expected values of what? File size, file name, etc etc? [00:46] Yuken: you may want to have a look at incrontab, which can monitor files/directories for changes and trigger scripts [00:46] you said modify [00:46] ana_: can you share /etc/fstab ? [00:46] ana_: also "sudo blkid" [00:47] One more question: what exactly would I do to get a script that would automatically do a task, every 15 minutes? I know it is simple, but I can't access any proper web browsers right now. [00:47] mcphail, thank you for that info, I'll look at it. [00:47] holucon, this is for a game I am hosting, where I want admin logs to be publicly available on my website - copying the log over every time a change is made (as I do not want the game files in that directory). [00:47] sudo blkid http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14041238/ [00:48] mcphail, You'd be better of coding the game to read the file.... [00:48] coding the site* [00:49] k1l_, I FIXED IT!! [00:49] The problem was Virtualbox. [00:49] Yuken: for your other query, have a look at crontab (rather than incrontab) which will trigger events at certain times. See "man 5 crontab" for guidance [00:49] I uninstalled that, purged it from the machine, and grub healed itself in the process. :-D [00:49] ana_: tell me if this succeeds: "sudo dpkg -r linux-headers-3.13.0-33" [00:49] Thanks for your help, and Merry Christmas and all that! [00:49] * wad goes home [00:49] mcphail, would I need root access to do what I'm asking? [00:50] holucon, ... I really am dumb, why didn't I think of that :o [00:50] ana_: can you pastebin the output of "cat /proc/mounts" [00:51] Yuken: I think you need to be root to alter a config file to allow your user to run incrontab (and to add your user to the appropriate group). You don't need root at all for crontab [00:52] daft, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14041309/ [00:52] ana_: ah that's fine, repeat the command with the -generic package named, then do it as i said [00:52] mcphail, thanks for the information, it's appreciated. Players would have an outrage if they couldn't see admin logs, because my fellow mods could be doing some sketchy stuff. [00:53] TJ, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14041322/ [00:53] Yuken, no idea haha, but really, having the file read by the site would be better. [00:53] ana_: so sudo dpkg -r linux-headers-3.13.0-33-generic linux-headers-3.13.0-33 [00:53] holucon, only problem is, it saves it as a .log file, instead of plain text. [00:54] a .log is plain text [00:54] just because it has a different extension, doesnt mean its not readable as plain text [00:54] holucon, I know, but it refuses to be read by the game's in-game browser, or Firefox. [00:54] holucon, so palyers would have to download the file then open it with a tool, which is inconvenient. [00:54] couldnt you just copy the log every 15 seconds to a different filename [00:54] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14041360/ [00:55] open it with a tool...notepad? haha [00:55] holucon, that was actually my plan, when I asked to copy it whenever it was modified. [00:55] ana_: repeat that for -34, -35... up to -40 [00:55] oh [00:55] just copy it ever 15 seconds instead of doing 'on modify' [00:56] unless you find something that offers changes tracking [00:56] which yuken suggested [00:56] holucon, I'll try that out, should work. No reason why I'm asking, but wish to see the website? I just like showing it around :p [00:56] which mcphail * suggested [00:56] Yuken: holucon: whilst that is an option, it is ugly and inefficient compared to using inotify (incrontab) [00:57] mcphail, well its not being done right from the getgo :P [00:57] mcphail, I'm probably going to do what holucon suggested until I can contact the owner to allow me to use incrontab. [00:57] Yuken, can you make the game log it as a .txt? [00:57] error, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14041405/ [00:57] holucon, sadly, no. If it were my game, yes. [00:57] Yuken: fair enough :) [00:57] ana_: you only changed the number on one of two === sebastian_ is now known as SebastianTCL [00:59] How can I install silverlight on Ubuntu [00:59] welovfree: what's the real goal? netflix? [01:00] no, beinsports [01:00] daftykins, [01:00] i don't know what that is, i'll assume a website or service [01:00] uses Flash on Chrome. [01:00] fyi [01:00] i think pipelight used to be what folks tried to use, but i think you'll have a hell of a time [01:01] daftykins, sport channels [01:01] welovfree: what browser are you using? [01:01] daftykins, airing football matches and nba...etc [01:01] lo [01:01] what package should I install to have shared folder with vbox? [01:01] nicomachus, firefox [01:01] does anyone know how to run league of legends on ubuntu mate [01:02] kush_: job for wine i would imagine [01:02] kush_, I've heard reports of WINE running it successfully. [01:02] nicomachus, daftykins using ubuntu as vm by the way [01:02] welovfree: hmm... it doesn't require silverlight for me, I'm not having any trouble watching videos. Can you send me a specific link that's giving you trouble? [01:02] kush_, I'd ask over at #winehq [01:02] welovfree: nasty, why are you doing this then? [01:02] nicomachus, http://embratoria.com/ [01:03] only the 38 didnt work http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14041534/ [01:03] daftykins, what? [01:03] ? [01:03] league on this os? [01:03] does /boot still need to be the first partition (on a GPT or MBR layout)? [01:03] !wine | kush_ [01:03] kush_: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [01:04] ana_: so now you should have some inodes free with "df -i" ? [01:04] dbarros: no, but it doesn't want to be 4TB in, either! [01:04] welovfree: seems to be playing as HTML5 for me. [01:04] TJ-, you mean, if the drive is over 4TB, then it needs to be the first? [01:04] nicomachus, click on one of HD1 to HD16 logos [01:04] do you think this raid controller will work with ubuntu? http://www.amazon.com/Syba-SATA-PCI-X-Ports-Controller/dp/B002C0Y5X4/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1450227673&sr=1-2&keywords=SATA+PCI-X+Host+Card [01:05] nicomachus, those are ones requiring silverlight [01:05] yes 81% now [01:05] ana_: do i understand correctly you were trying to install the utopic HWE before this started? it's old now, so i would not bother [01:05] DirtyCajun: it's not a hardware raid card. it will probably work, but you're better off using mdadm [01:06] dbarros: GRUB runs in x86 real mode, and uses 32-bit values, so it cannot reach the entire disk on larger disks, so the core image (BIOS boot partition) and file-system containing /boot/grub/ needs to be within the limit [01:06] i dont intend to use it as hardware raid just need more sata ports i ran out XD [01:06] DirtyCajun: PCI-X is 64-bit PCI, it'd be a mistake to buy that [01:06] perfect thank you [01:06] http://pastebin.ubuntu.co know m/14041664/. I dont [01:06] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14041664/ . i dont know [01:06] so, there is nothing to do now? [01:06] welovfree: ahh... I see.... hmm.. [01:07] nicomachus, http://prntscr.com/9eos1q [01:07] ana_: the -## you removed before, now remove the linux-image-extra package for those numbers followed by the linux-image ones [01:08] welovfree: If you *must* watch via that player, I think pipelight is your best bet. install instructions are here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/611505/alternative-of-microsoft-silverlight-on-ubuntu [01:08] with the comand of purge? [01:08] ana_: no, with "sudo dpkg -r " as before [01:09] ana_: get rid of linux-generic-lts-quantal too [01:09] nicomachus, I have to exit firefox before starting the installation right? [01:09] in goes linux-image? [01:10] welovfree: shouldn't matter. [01:10] just may need to refresh the page afterwards === sebastian_ is now known as SebastianTCL [01:10] ana_: use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14041129/ for reference, look down the list and find the ones that have -33 etc like earlier that you removed, there are still the ones beginning linux-image-extra... and linux-image... [01:14] nicomachus, when running this command "sudo apt-get install pipelight" I get this error http://prntscr.com/9eou5j [01:15] welovfree: exit synaptic or any other package management application you have open (even in terminals) [01:15] welovfree: looks like you're installing/upgrading software in another terminal? [01:16] slidinghorn, nicomachus, how can I exit? === sebastian_ is now known as SebastianTCL [01:19] exit what? [01:19] nicomachus, exit synaptic or any other package management application you have open (even in terminals) as slidinghorn told [01:20] do you have anything else open? [01:20] is this ok? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14042113/ [01:21] looks ok to me. [01:21] but I'm not sure what daftykins is having you do. [01:21] nicomachus, I don't know [01:22] nicomachus, is restarting the vm gonna help? [01:22] welovfree: that would do it. you can also just log out and log back in, without restarting the VM [01:23] nicomachus, I already did it but the error still outputing [01:23] nicomachus, I am really sorry if I am wasting your time [01:24] ha, you're not wasting my time. [01:24] ana_: Yeah, OK, keep on going .. just the system rebuilding at each removal .. a long process that will have an end . [01:24] until 40? [01:24] welovfree: go ahead and reboot the VM just to be safe. [01:24] welovfree: youre not wasting anynes time....we are here as volunteers for just this kind of thing [01:25] just here to learn. oddly enough helping others helps me learn. so I'm using you. :) [01:25] ana_: Not sure .. I wiped your 1st paste . do ' uname -r ' keep that kerenl and the one under it for now . [01:25] slidinghorn, thank you guys you are great [01:25] nicomachu same here lol [01:26] Bashing, mybe you have to see this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14041129/ [01:26] nicomachus, yeah as long as I am getting the help I want you are free to use me LOOOL [01:27] reboot that VM and see if it kills whatever's using dpkg [01:28] nicomachus, I run this command "sudo dpkg --configure -a" and it did the job, but how can I validate this http://prntscr.com/9eoy3x [01:28] TAB to highlight it, then ENTER [01:28] nicomachus, I did it after the reboot [01:29] ana_: Lots of old kernels .. do ' uname -r ' that is the presentt booted kernel . Do not mess with this ine ! You will in the end here wind up with the -68 and -71 kernles remaining . A long way to go yet .. and then some additional installs and finally some clean up . hang with it ! [01:30] ana_: ine/one * [01:30] what's all this lines trying to do and what that mean https://dpaste.de/utRu/raw [01:30] what is my best bet to avoid nfs "client" box hanging when the nfs "server" is shutdown? [01:30] thi is the uname -r http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14042443/ [01:30] maybe autofs? [01:31] what is ine/one* [01:31] ana_: he typed ine, he meant to type one. [01:32] ana_: Great .. there are some problems with the -71 install we will fix later . continue on .. keeping the -68 and -71 kernels . [01:32] nicomachus, do pipelight work the same as what wine do for windows softwares? [01:32] ana_: ine/one * denotes a corrected typo in my last entry . [01:33] so i keep doing this untill 70? [01:33] welovfree: I believe pipelight is just a re-write of silverlight. [01:33] oh, ok i udestand [01:33] ana_: untill -68 ! [01:33] oh [01:33] ok [01:34] when i was removing the headers i did until 40, so i have to remove those until 68 as well? [01:34] nicomachus, a re-write of the source code so that it can be used on Linux sys [01:36] nicomachus, what is this http://prntscr.com/9ep0gv [01:36] nicomachus, can I just exit it? [01:37] ana_: If it is any consolation to you, once we have this fixed in the future one command will take care of all of this . [01:38] nicomachus, worked! (y) [01:38] oh, I suppose it is just piping silverlight through wine. cool. does the video play now? [01:39] nicomachus, it seems like wine is interfering here http://prntscr.com/9ep0gv ??!! [01:40] that's ok, wait for it to finish [01:40] nicomachus, yeah worked!, but what does wine do here? [01:42] ive installed a new ethernet card in my existing ubuntu server and it isnt active. it only shows when i ifconfig -a [01:45] any idea how to 'enable' for lack of a better word? [01:46] DirtyCajun: server : edit /etc/network/interfaces to reflect the niw interface , [01:46] new* [01:47] duh. im dumb. do i just create another section with a # [01:48] DirtyCajun: No where it is eth0 change it to eth1 . ( make a back up of any fike you are going to edit 1st - never can tell what might happen ) . [01:48] i am going to keep both of them [01:49] i am going to aggrigate [01:49] DirtyCajun: Yeah then fine . make up a new stanza for the new interface . [01:52] DirtyCajun: However, if on this server you have polluted it with a desk top and have network-manager managing networking . well ,, these should be done in that GUI manager . huh ? [01:54] nicomachus, what is the difference between moonlight and pipelight? [01:54] welovfree: I couldn't tell you. [01:54] sorry [01:54] welovfree: moonlight is dead [01:54] xangua, ok [01:55] xangua, an old project [01:55] i have not bash [01:55] moonlight was an opensource implementation of microsoft silverlight plugin [01:55] XD [01:55] xangua, and what about pipelight? [01:56] welovfree: pipelight runs silverlight and other plugins in wine [01:57] nicomachus, told me it's a re-write of silverlight?§ [01:57] ! [01:57] xangua, nicomachus told me it's a re-write of silverlight [01:58] I tried to convert mysql -> mariadb, however it didnt work properly... while I am doing this is there anyway to backup mysql databases ( neither mysql nor mariadb are working right now) [01:58] http://pipelight.net/cms/about.html welovfree [02:01] xangua, that's what I thought from the first, it uses wine, because while downloading I saw some .exe files downloading and I wondered!! and yeah it's wine [02:02] welovfree: apparently I was wrong. that's only the hundrenth or so time today. [02:03] nicomachus, yeah it seems like you were, but thank you for helping me out! [02:04] so balance-alb is the equivilant of 2x 1gbps interfaces trunked together with max out at 2gbps? [02:07] xangua, why I am not getting a proper full screen? [02:08] welovfree: don't know, I don't use pipelight [02:08] nicomachus, why I am not getting a proper full screen? [02:09] xangua, are they having a channel here in freenode? [02:10] welovfree: http://pipelight.net/cms/page-help.html read the bottom, also there is something about fullscreen there [02:10] xangua, thanks [02:13] morning [02:13] mysql is really messed up after I installed mariadb (and it didn't work) ... how could I start over on mariadb and import a database? [02:13] (a folder I copied from /var/lib/mysql ) [02:14] anyone please tell me, "fdisk -l" gives list of partition, there is also option of "-L" "--color" how can I use it with fdisk? [02:15] is there an intelligent way to test and see if nic teaming is working as intended? [02:15] DirtyCajun: do a speedtest and see if your speed is doubled? [02:15] you are kidding right? [02:16] ok, I won't offer any advice at all. my bad. [02:16] this is #ubuntu, not ##networking. [02:16] nichomachus. 1gbps is the speed of a single ethernet cable. that is faster than 99 percent of peoples internet providers speeds [02:17] if bonding worked id be at a theoretical 2gbps. [02:17] basically the internet provider would be the bottleneck [02:17] How can I check if autofs is still broken in 15.10? [02:18] DirtyCajun: I'd suggest ##networking. [02:24] wow....a lot of snark being thrown around from folks looking for free support from volunteers who are soending their free time helping out......... [02:24] isnt that how all volunteer work is [02:24] let's stay on topic. === Spark_ is now known as Spark [02:26] schizo101: this is the only "volunteer" work ive done where its beneficiaries tossed shade, but nicomachus is right...we're off topic....sorry [02:30] let's try again then: is autofs broken on 15.10? [02:31] anabain: what makes you raise the question? What particular error(s) are you getting? [02:31] slidinghorn, I'm getting nothing, that's the problem [02:31] I've setup things as explained here: [02:32] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs [02:32] on xubuntu and iusing urxvt-unicode (256) and i just can get perls to work specifically the copy and paste function... [02:33] slidinghorn: for nfs, and after service autofs restart or /etc/init.d/autofs restart I don't get anything on my mounting dir === welovfree_ is now known as welovfree [02:35] slidinghorn, and mounting through etc/fstab does work: [02:36] 192.168.1.34:/ /home/joan/deuteros nfs4 _netdev,auto 0 0 [02:37] slidinghorn, and this does not look well: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs [02:37] which of vim and emacs do you guys recommend for learning? [02:38] anabain: unfortunately im away from my systems...on my phone, but posting a pastebin of your fstab and any configs related to autofs would help with your question for ithers more qualified/prepared :) [02:39] vim or emacs .. https://xkcd.com/378/ [02:39] ok, slidinghorn , thanks anyway, :) [02:40] welovfree: learn a real editor, vim or emacs, choose one ;) [02:42] welovfree: vi/vim & emacs have a steeper learning curve, but youd be smart to start playing with either. Cheat sheets are available everywhere === welovfree_ is now known as welovfree [02:43] zykotick9, what do you mean by "learn a real editor"? aren't those two real ones? [02:44] welovfree: vim and emacs _are_ the two choices for a "real editor"... [02:45] zykotick9, I am currently using sublimetext seems good but wanna lean somethings really good [02:45] welovfree: there are plenty of choices for editors, all have + and -. Try a few, see what you like. I prefer nano for simple stuff, so apparently I don't do anything "real". [02:45] I am using Ubuntu Guest and Windows 7 host. I keep getting the "Headers for current kernel not found" error when installing GuestBox additions [02:45] Could someone help me [02:45] i have already installed generic-headers but it still errors out. [02:46] Guddu_: did you install dkms? [02:46] nicomachus, Yes i did. [02:52] after that you should just be able to download the GuestAdditions.iso onto the windows host, then select "Insert Guest Additions CD Image" from the dropdown on Virtualbox, then it will mount the CD and you can click it in your menu and it will run. [02:52] how are you getting "Headers for current kernel not found"? at what step? [02:54] nicomachus, The errors comes just when i install the GuestAdditions [02:54] hi === woodruffw is now known as yossarian-bot [02:56] Guddu_: can you paste the full error to a pastebin and link it here? [02:56] i don't know what broke but hubby can't get his cairo-dock working. in ubuntu 14.04 === yossarian-bot is now known as woodruffw [02:57] Guddu_: also, what version of ubuntu is the guest? [02:57] chull: he tries to start it and it doesn't start? [02:57] the error he gets i also get when trying to run gedit ** (gedit:3759): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-z1ZURRQXec: Connection refused [02:58] nicomachus, I will paste the error shortly. Ubuntu is ubuntu-15.10-desktop-amd64 [02:58] hi nicomachus :) [02:58] And i am using the latest VirtualBox now. [03:00] ** (cairo-dock:3500): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-z1ZURRQXec: Connection refused [03:00] chull: can you open it from the Dash (not from terminal)? [03:01] nicomachus, not sure what you mean? when i ssh'd in and looked from my computer, cairo-dock is running. [03:01] chull: 90% of the time, the errors you get from opening an X application from terminal are meaningless, and don't actually mean there's an error. [03:01] cairo-dock is not evident from the desktop [03:01] chull, looks normal to me, when you open a gui program from terminal, those are just messages. [03:02] nicomachus, After updating the virtual box the error disappeared [03:02] OerHeks, nicomachus ok.. but it's still not working for him. [03:03] he asks: does 'restart' do the same thing as shutting down and starting again? or might that make it suddenly work again:? [03:03] Guddu_: so you're all good now? [03:03] PSA: warnings != errors... ;) [03:03] nicomachus, I have 2 issues now. The SSD Drive that i connect is not showing up in /media. And the shared folder from Windows Host to Ubunt Guest appears empty when there are files in there for sure. [03:04] Guddu_: those may be questions for #vbox, since they apply more to that than to ubuntu [03:04] Thanks nicomachus [03:07] OerHeks, nicomachus ideas on getting hubby's cairo-dock to work please? [03:07] restart the service. [03:07] Hm [03:08] nicomachus, command please? [03:09] service cairo-dock restart [03:10] nicomachus, When i insert a SSD Drive and do a ls -l /dev | grep sd i see the same entries as when the drive is not connected. [03:10] nicomachus, # service cairo-dock restart [03:10] cairo-dock: unrecognized service [03:11] pkill cairo-dock && cairo-dock [03:12] nicomachus, thanks [03:14] did it work? [03:14] nicomachus, he gets an error. the same one plus something about initializing opengl .. and the question does he want to use opengl [03:16] hi === annie is now known as Guest95350 [03:17] hay alguien_ [03:17] ? [03:17] emiliaanoldz: Hellp, your support issue ? [03:17] I am a newbie, i dot know what it is [03:17] dont === timchen1` is now known as timchen119 [03:19] emiliaanoldz: If it is ubuntu related ask here , if it is irc related ask in #freenode . [03:19] nicomachus, d the question does he want to use openGL? [03:19] chull: yes, but I imagine there's a deeper issue here. I never had this kind of trouble with cairo-dock. [03:20] hi folks, new to ubuntu. Just finished installing version 14 and it's running now. I type terminal but it's not showing any icon for it [03:20] zumba_addict: press Ctrl+Alt+T [03:20] Also, when I click Software Center, nothing happens too [03:20] k [03:20] nicomachus, yeah. thanks :) appreciate your help!!! i'm lost on his computer. [03:21] nicomachus: that worked! === welovfree_ is now known as welovfree [03:21] chull: you may benefit from just uninstalling and reinstalling cairo-dock. [03:21] I use XUbuntu ,don't like Unity Ubuntu [03:22] congratulations. [03:23] nicomachus, he will try that thanks! [03:24] what could be the reason why Ubuntu Sofware Center is not coming up? [03:26] zumba_addict: How are you calling it up ? the name is " software-center " . the tool is in the launcher in unity DE . [03:26] nicomachus, i don't get it: Package 'cairo-dock' is not installed, so not removed.. it removed the side bar icons. === nya is now known as Guest76950 [03:27] it removed the side bar icons?? [03:27] nicomachus, yes - the stuff on the right side of his default desktop [03:29] what was the command you used to remove it? [03:30] chull, so you uninstalled/reinstalled cairo dock, but it was not installed at all? [03:31] OerHeks, i think so, yes [03:32] nicomachus, i'm not sure why i didn't do the && reinstall .. :~# apt-get remove cairo-dock [03:33] hello === nicomach1s is now known as nicomachus [03:35] wb [03:35] Bashing-om: I was clicking the icon but I think i know the reason why it's not starting [03:35] my / is full. I'll reinstall everything [03:35] Nickeeh, shall we try apt-get install cairo-dock and see what happens? [03:36] looks like the default install assigned a bad mount points and sizes to the slices [03:36] can't hurt.. [03:36] er nicomachus [03:36] ok [03:38] zumba_addict: Sure ?? .. LVM and the deault install with a very small boot partition ? [03:38] yup, it created 3.7g on / [03:39] and used everything, Avail was 0 [03:39] I've already deleted it [03:39] I think i chose 8g earlier which was wrong [03:39] I'm using VirtualBox [03:39] Is 25g ok? [03:39] Evening. [03:40] nicomachus, ok the dock is back, and the icons on the right (he set that) - he also has no bar at the top? [03:40] I went with 40gb [03:41] If I have print sharing turned on why can't i browse to \\systemip\ and see a shared printer? [03:41] nicomachus, also he has no left side stuff and that means no multi desktops etc. [03:41] zumba_addict: with vbox, usually 10-20 is sufficient in my experience. [03:41] Hello. [03:41] zumba_addict: Depends on what all additioinal you install . a general good size for '/' is 10 gigs . [03:41] cool [03:41] I am buying a new NUC. Can the devs in here check to make sure it's properly supported by Ubuntu? [03:41] I'll be using it for video reencodes [03:41] I want 0 issues. [03:41] Anyone familiar with ranger? How do I extract a tar file? [03:42] 40g should be good for me [03:42] http://www.itxcanada.com/index.php?p=product&id=1373&parent=129 [03:42] Here is the product. [03:42] Tarminquay: sorry, this isn't really the place. [03:42] it's reinstalling again :D my third time [03:42] nicomachus: The devs should be able to look at the components and assue me before I buy it. [03:42] !hcl [03:42] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [03:42] look for yourself? [03:42] the first time, after I rebooted it, it never booted up. I just saw a cursor on left [03:42] do a little research, Tarminquay [03:43] Tarminquay: there are few devs here. [03:44] RTL8111G [03:44] nicomachus, i wonder if the top bar and side bar would come back if he rebooted? [03:44] This is the WI-FI card and I don't see it listed on the Ubuntu page. [03:44] It doesn't say if it's supported. [03:44] nicomachus: Where do the devs go? [03:44] do you see it with lspci/usb [03:45] lspci or lsusb [03:45] no [03:45] adeon_: he doesn't have the machine yet. he's looking for purchase advice. [03:45] ahh ok nvm [03:45] nicomachus: I want to be sure it's 100% supported. [03:45] http://www.itxcanada.com/index.php?p=product&id=1373&parent=129 [03:45] Here's the machine. [03:46] GIGABYTE BRIX GB-BXi3H-5010 with Intel Core i3-5010u CPU ; with 120GB SSD; 4GB Memory WIFI+Bluetooth ( SKU#105984 ) [03:46] yes you already linked that, and have been told it's not on topic here. [03:46] stop. [03:46] Tarminquay, but you know already that 8111g gives issues :-D [03:46] OerHeks: They do? [03:46] OerHeks: I read about issues back in 2008. Why wouldn't they be fixed? [03:46] 21:38 < Tarminquay> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1022411 [03:46] RTL8111G <-- This card gives issues? [03:46] nicomachus: Did you see the date there? [03:47] 2008. [03:47] It's 2015 now. [03:47] * nicomachus facepalms [03:47] If the issues are present still that would be the most pathetic thing ever. [03:47] nicomachus, is there a command to just restart the desktop? [03:47] chull: that depends on what DE you're using, but logging out and logging back in will accomplish it. [03:47] Tarminquay, why not get a more modern system? [03:48] chull: It's a brand new box! [03:48] Tarminquay, it's got 2008 problems? [03:49] cheap license, problem chip .. but it might work with https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/wily/+package/r8168-dkms [03:49] GB-BXi3H-5010 [03:49] Here is the box. [03:49] It's a Gigabyte i3 5010U. [03:49] It has a Realtek Wi-FI card: [03:49] RTL8111G [03:49] That card has issues with Ubuntu or not? [03:49] I can't tell. [03:50] Tarminquay: it seems to be working fine for this user: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2227323&page=2 [03:51] Holy moly. [03:51] That's not fine. He says he's not getting the full potential. [03:51] read the rest of the thread.... [03:51] But that was back in 2014. Surely it JUST WORKS now? [03:51] that was on the latest LTS [03:52] I don't want to do any command line stuff. [03:52] I'll be using version 15.10. [03:52] Will it JUST WORK or not? [03:52] you clearly don't want the advice that we can give you. [03:52] Will it JUST WORK, nicomachus, or not? [03:52] Anyone know how to COMPLETELY reinstall a program? [03:52] Answer my question. [03:53] I choose not to. [03:53] Tarminquay, drop that attitude please. [03:53] cause I really messed up mariadb [03:53] EmeraldExplorer: apt-get purge --remove mariadb [03:53] then reinstall [03:53] nicomachus, he still has no top bar and no left side stuff. whatever broke is broken good. - it's 14.04 [03:53] chull: what DE is he using? unity? [03:54] nicomachus, yes [03:54] nicomachus: with apt-get install ? [03:54] EmeraldExplorer: yes. [03:54] chull: you can try to reinstall unity, otherwise it's going to take some digging. [03:54] chull: try sudo apt-get install --reinstall unity-desktop [03:55] the gedit we just had i closed after i saved - - 2015-12-15 [03:55] nicomachus, shall do [03:56] rtl8111 ubuntu [03:56] I don't believe this. [03:56] Do you see all those links about troubles with this card and Ubuntu? [03:56] nicomachus: well it is not working properly :,( [03:56] This is one of the most mainstream, popular cards there is. [03:56] How can Ubuntu not 100% support it? [03:56] nicomachus: still not going through the config and stuff [03:56] Tarminquay: Maybe you should write a driver for it. you are no longer on-topic here. [03:56] nicomachus, E: Unable to locate package unity-desktop [03:56] i do love him. i do. [03:57] LOL! Writing a driver for my own wireless card. [03:57] Unbelievable. [03:57] well you clearly expect others to do it for you [03:57] chull, ubuntu-desktop, not unity-desktop [03:57] oops. [03:58] ah ok [03:58] lemee try that :) [03:58] i'm getting an error when I do apt-get install. The error is "E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) [03:59] should I use sudo? [03:59] that would be wise, yes [03:59] k [03:59] okies that worked nicomachus - how do we get it to affect the desktop? [03:59] got another error but minor [04:00] Package ffmpeg is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted or is only available from another source [04:00] I'm trying to install slowmovideo [04:00] i'm following the instructions from their website [04:01] i'm following the instructions from this page, http://slowmovideo.granjow.net/download.php [04:02] zumba_addict: what version of ubuntu are you using again? [04:02] oh wait, there is for ubuntu 14.04 [04:03] i'm now using the 14.04 instructions :) [04:03] :) [04:03] lol, that'll help. :) [04:03] first command worked === karstensrage is now known as CosmicJewishLich [04:03] earlier i used Debian/Ubuntu [04:03] earlier i used Debian/Ubuntu instructions [04:03] nicomachus, we didn't get errors, but no bars? [04:04] rtl8111 --> Anyone want to ensure this ethernet card is fully supported without any issues with Ubuntu 15.10? [04:04] Thanks. I'll PayPal $10 to the dev who answers. [04:04] Tarminquay: may I suggest Windows? [04:04] nicomachus: I shouldn't have to use Spyware to get a hassle-free OS. === CosmicJewishLich is now known as karstensrage [04:05] got an error when I ran this -> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jon-severinsson/ffmpeg [04:05] zumba_addict: what was the error? [04:05] the error is: Cannot add PPA: ppa:jon-severinsson/ffmpeg [04:05] Please check that the PPA name or format is correct [04:05] Tarminquay: what is so difficiult? http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/catalog/make/Realtek%20Semiconductor%20Co.,%20Ltd./ [04:05] Tarminquay, the flip side is that if nobody complained about it since 2008 it will probably work. :) [04:06] did you check? does it exist? zumba_addict [04:06] somsip: It's not listed there.. [04:06] xangua: i've never used ppa, it's my first time right now [04:06] Tarminquay: 2nd up from the bottom - RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller [04:06] ppa:jon-severinsson/ffmpeg > DO NOT USE https://launchpad.net/~jon-severinsson/+ppa-packages [04:06] somsip: You're right. [04:06] somsip: Great work! [04:06] maybe i'll just download the ffmpeg then compile from scratch. This way I get the latest too [04:06] Tarminquay: I know. Will you stop whinging now? [04:06] looking [04:07] what does that mean OerHeks? What should I do then? [04:07] kudos to the Ubuntu team for ensuring hassle-free performance out of that Realtek card. [04:07] It's a popular card. [04:07] 14.4 uses avconv, due to some reason, current wily 15.10 uses ffmpeg again [04:08] works flawlesly [04:08] 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 [04:08] ok. What will I do? === atlas_ is now known as atlas-hive [04:08] just download the tar.gz then? [04:08] I presume that's the same as: rtl8111G [04:08] there are many 8111 realtec chips.. [04:08] What's the G mean anyway? [04:08] tarmaque [04:09] yeah Realtek 8111 has been around for a very long time [04:09] cheap license, problem chip .. but it might work with https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/wily/+package/r8168-dkms [04:09] The one in the box I want is the 8111G. [04:09] the RTL81111 is not wifi [04:09] How do I tell if that particular rone is supported? [04:09] what is a good terminal GUI that displays traffic and info in real time? [04:09] thats the LAN [04:09] How should I go about listing directory contents and then grep (or something) those results and check to see which files do not contain a value that exists in a CSV file? The CSV file is simple. It only contains > 1000 numerical values separated by a comma. [04:09] atlas-hive: you may try looking into conky, but it's a large package of different monitors and customization tools. [04:10] atlas-hive: similar to RainMeter on Windows, if you ever used that. [04:10] adeon_: Here's the system: http://www.itxcanada.com/index.php?p=product&id=1373&parent=129 [04:10] adeon_: Do you see the wireless chip/card there? [04:10] zumba_addict: you can try installing avconv and see if that works with the slowmovideo application you want. [04:10] i was hoping to stay away from destop GUI, i use terminal a lot and ijust built a linux box to capture and direct traffic via eth0 and wlan0 [04:10] it does not state which one it is [04:11] cool [04:11] but it mostlikely is a RTL widi [04:11] so avconv is like an installer? [04:11] nicomachus: sorry that last message was directed to you.. [04:11] "IEEE802.11ac, Dual Band & BT 4.0" [04:11] adeon_: How is the support for those? [04:11] it'll be fine Tarminquay [04:11] atlas-hive: I saw it... I'm thinking. [04:11] it will most likely be ok [04:11] Arbition: How do you know? [04:11] i have the projector i3 brix [04:11] has this card [04:12] RTL8723AE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter [04:12] Intel is pretty good with getting drivers into linux [04:12] adeon_: It worked with Ubuntu without issues at full performance? [04:12] its also not skylake, which has been reported to have issues [04:13] atlas-hive: perhaps this is helpful: http://www.tecmint.com/command-line-tools-to-monitor-linux-performance/ [04:13] yes [04:13] bothh wifi and bluetooth [04:14] Excellent. So I'll buy that computer and put the USB in and it will begin installing Ubuntu and I should be up and running in about 5 minutes? [04:15] isaw this website eariler today. i am actually using bmon and iftop right now. i was just wondering if there was a more indepth alternative to those [04:15] 5 minutes is a little optimistic, 10 - 15 minutes [04:15] 2 hrs [04:15] nicomachus: damnit i keep forgetting to tag you, sorry [04:15] Arbition: That's just easy GUI steps? [04:15] language... [04:15] pretty much [04:16] select location, select keyboard [04:16] the only thing of any interest is partitioning, which has default options anyway [04:16] but whether you should the defaults or not, well that depends on many things [04:16] yep within 20 mins for sure [04:16] Do you recommend I let Ubuntu take over the whole drive or tell it special instructions? [04:16] atlas-hive: I don't do a lot of system monitoring, sorry. There are some great communities on reddit (/r/unixporn) and irc.rizon.net #rice that definitely have a better grasp on those types of applications. [04:16] Will you be installing any other operating systems on it, Tarminquay? [04:16] if i install something from the cli with apt instead of the software center, is there an easy way to get it added to the launcher and the search etc as though i had done it via software center? [04:17] No. [04:17] It will be the only OS. [04:17] just let it go then [04:17] the defaults will be better supported [04:17] by people here [04:17] do UEFI [04:17] So after 20 minutes of easy installation everything should work flawlessly without any tinkering? [04:17] auctus: you can install through terminal, then once you start it up it will show up on the launcher and you can right-click and pin it to the launcher. idk of another way. [04:17] or get a machine with Ubuntu preinstalled [04:17] nicomachus: ok thank you for the tip. [04:17] Tarminquay: no. that isn't how linux works. [04:17] xangua: Those are very rare. [04:18] Can't guarantee quite that [04:18] nicomachus: How does it work? [04:18] also can't guarantee it will never break [04:18] Arbition: What might I have to do? [04:18] thats just it, if we knew what could happen, it could be automated [04:18] you'll have to wait and see [04:18] and this place wouldn't need to exit. [04:18] I thought Ubuntu was the version for Windows and iOS converts who want something that just works? [04:18] s/exit/exist/ [04:18] Tarminquay: if you live in the past, yes https://www.thinkpenguin.com/ [04:19] Didn't you say you wanted to run mint, Tarminquay? [04:19] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuPre-installed [04:19] Arbition: I'm running Ubuntu MATE. [04:19] mmkay [04:19] maybe I was thinking someone else [04:19] Arbition: I've got the USB coming in the mail from OS Disc. [04:19] wha- [04:19] what the... [04:19] which version? [04:19] Version 15.10. [04:19] oh ok [04:19] phew [04:19] What? [04:19] that'll have a recent enough kernel [04:20] if you were trying for 14.04, you might have issues with too new hardware [04:20] nah. [04:20] The kernel on Linux Mint 17.3 is older than the 15.10 one, right? [04:20] Meaning 15.10 has better support? [04:20] the mint 17 series is based on 14.04 [04:20] Tarminquay: Ubuntu has better support in the ubuntu channel [04:20] I prefer using the latest kernel. [04:21] Superior hardware support. [04:21] latest kernel != best support [04:21] you know you won't get latest with Ubuntu right? [04:21] latest kernel puts you on your own [04:21] The kernel in 15.10 is significantly newer than in 14.04. [04:21] if you really wanted that, you'd be looking at fedora rawhide or debian sid [04:21] That's good enough for me. [04:21] mmkaya [04:22] I don't want the bleeding edge [04:22] but the latest that Ubuntu offers. [04:22] I do :) [04:22] don't worry too much [04:22] rarely have I had install issues [04:22] for those issues I've had, 80% have been solved before [04:22] ok.

[05:31] shafox: look for your "nvidia settings" panel [05:32] regedit: where to find it ? [05:32] open terminal and type nvidia-settings [05:32] shafox: somewhere in your "start menu" whatever it's called, type "nvidia" it should come up [05:32] or what Gallomimia said [05:33] in there is a section called PRIME Profiles i think, is what you're looking for [05:33] yes found it. in the PRIME Profiles it is already selected NVIDIA(Performance mode) [05:34] shafox: lspci doesnt tell you which one is selected [05:34] just which devices exist [05:34] mesa-tools glxinfo can tell you that [05:35] regedit: the settings says it is alrady using the nvidia one but the lspci says intel [05:36] shafox: read what i said ^ [05:36] and if I do this sudo lshw -C video, i get two [05:36] https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/gTtF0Kez/ [05:36] good [05:36] none of those tell you which of the 2 is selected [05:36] shafox: in a command terminal try running: glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer string" [05:36] ahh ok let me check mesa-tools [05:37] shafox: mesa-tools is the package, the command is glxinfo ^ [05:37] you might need to install mesa-tools in order to have that command [05:38] can anyone help me with this problem? i would really like to copy the ubuntu install i have on this flash drive onto an LVM, and install a copy of the bootloader and initramdisk to the raided drives i have in the disk [05:38] regedit: output of that command is OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 920M/PCIe/SSE2 [05:39] shafox: there ya go [05:39] shafox: try switching to intel, log off, log on, and check that again, it should show the intel renderer [05:39] regedit: but thing is the videos are coming pixelated for some hence was confused why it is showing intel when i have nvidia [05:39] shafox: you are currently on the GeForce GPU [05:40] you have both nvidia and intel [05:40] just like i do [05:40] currently you are using the nvidia GPU tho [05:40] so have fun playing games :D [05:41] shafox: did you use the Driver Manager to get the latest driver? [05:41] also do you have the right media player codecs [05:41] also is the video itself bad quality [05:41] regedit: i just updated the package manager and checked which one i am using in the additional drivers and this is the one i am using [05:42] shafox: there should be a tool you can find called "Driver Manager" [05:42] 352.63 from nvidia-352 [05:42] ok that's good [05:43] if you're feeling adventurous you can use the graphics-drivers launchpad PPA to get version 355 or even 358 [05:43] https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa [05:43] Driver Manager is another package ? [05:43] shafox: i think it comes preinstalled in ubuntu (and its variants) [05:44] regedit: can't find it in the dash, [05:44] ok then maybe it doesnt come preinstalled then.. [05:44] maybe it's somewhere in system settings [05:45] i myself am actually on Kubuntu with KDE so everything is rather different (yet similar) [05:45] ok let me dig it through [05:46] shafox: in ubuntu its called additional drivers [05:46] Software & Updates -> Additional Drivers [05:46] more info https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [05:47] regedit: yep in that additional drivers itself i see 3 choices, 352.63, x.org, 352.63 from updates. [05:48] pick your poison :) [05:48] the proprietary ones (the ones with version numbers) are probably what you want [05:48] yep that is the one i have selected. let me tinker with some of the new drivers as you have mentioned [05:48] if you add the PPA mentioned before later versions will show up [05:49] i prefer the not updates mode cause they've been more thoroughly tested [05:49] take note of all the warnings issued by that PPA [05:49] regedit: understood :) [05:50] thank you regedit :) [05:50] np [05:50] how to accept user input and insert it at particular line in a file?

[06:12] thanks..will try it out [06:12] this seems to work fine in many cases, but sometimes I get a feeling that the audio device choice is persistent to some windows or terminals in unity [06:12] is this correct -- is there a kind of audio device assocation going on in unity?

Have nice day,I've a question. Anyone producing music with Ubuntu? I used jak application and irig(which I used with ipad or idevices.) I connect rakarrack and irig correctly with jak guide. But if you know, irig has headphone output. When I plug my headphone on it, irig becomes headphone for my pc. Not the guitar interface anymore. And rakarrack try to get sound from hardware mic, not irig [10:09] baizon: I don't want to use that. That's the worst option ever. I hope it never existed. It ruins performance like hell.

What can I do in VLC to make it behave just like Totem? [10:16] baizon: thanks [10:17] styler2go: yeah that will always be a slow go unfortunately. I'd recommend at least VNC or ideally teamviewer if you can [10:18] bonzibuddy: Running VNC right now and it is awesomly fast :) Sad that xforwarding is less performant, i really like that feature [10:19] styler2go: yeah! I like being able to just forward 1 window, but alas, slow as hell. maybe there are configurations you could pursue to speed it up; i've never looked too depe into it [10:19] xD [10:22] hi, google-chrome-stable is killing my memory, please give me an advice for this [10:23] bonzibuddy: If i close my vnc session, will the programs keep running?

[12:30] eugenio_: "you have the software version you said you wanted" [12:32] ikonia, I was talking of apache 2.4.7 [12:32] Hello all, can anyone lend a hand to a semi-n00b? :-) [12:32] eugenio_: sorry - I was talking to someone else [12:32] !help | Scotter [12:32] Scotter: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [12:33] eugenio_: so keep in mind, if apache dies - it is dead, it doesn't know where to dump it's core [12:33] Thanks ubottu, will keep this in mind! So I'm running an installed version (not live) Ubuntu 14.04.3 and everything disappears after reboot. Any ideas? [12:34] eugenio_: you'll find that directive (I think) is for the modules apache load, eg: php, ssl etc [12:34] Scotter: everything dissapears ? [12:34] Scotter: what do you mean [12:34] Yes, sorry I wasn't specific...all downloaded files, everything. [12:35] Scotter: that seems unlikley [12:35] It starts fresh, as if it were just installed. [12:35] Scotter: either you are running a non-persistent configuration, or your using temporary storage like ram for your file system [12:36] Okay, ikonia...I didn't know this was possible. How can I check which configuration is being used? [12:36] Scotter: are you on the machine now ? [12:36] ikonia, I see, I suspect the segmentation fault I have on apache depends on mod_wsgi, somebody suggested me to debug the corefile, is not correct? will not find important information by debugging with gdb? [12:36] Actually, I'm on a separate laptop [12:36] eugenio_: depends if you can read C [12:37] Scotter: does the machine that has the problem connect to the internet ? [12:37] Is there any way to get mounted usb devices on an nfs server box being "dynamically" shared to a nfs client? [12:37] ikonia, actually I don't know [12:37] Ikonia, yes...the computer is connected to the internet. No problems there [12:38] ikonia, I was thinking to use the file with gdb debugger to find something interesting to pass the info to the appplication developers [12:38] Scotter: on the computer could you do the following "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then do "df -h | pastebinit" and "mount | pastebinit" and give me the 2 URL's it spits out [12:38] eugenio_: do that then [12:39] sure thing Ikonia, give me a minute [12:40] ikonia, I would do it, but I cannot get the coredump from apache [12:40] ikonia, that's why I was asking here [12:41] eugenio_: why do you think it's coredumping ? [12:41] ikonia, the developers of the application which is crashing on my server suggested me to debug the core file with gdb: http://sysadmin.carlusgg.com/?p=197 [12:42] eugenio_: is it coredumping though ? [12:42] ikonia, yes [12:43] eugenio_: why do you think that ? [12:43] ikonia, what do you mean? [12:44] eugenio_: how do you know it's core dumping ? === ludza1 is now known as ludza [12:45] okay ikonia, I think i've actually resolved the problem...this laptop is my friend's, and she was signed into the guest profile when she downloaded everything. Does the guest profile disable you from saving files? [12:45] scotter it does [12:46] Scotter yup, i tried it too [12:46] ah, okay. Easy answer then! :-) [12:46] Scotter, she should save to a usb or other storage. [12:46] save to usb, when using the guest profile...but when using the admin profile, it's okay to save locally [12:47] Scotter, yep [12:47] ikonia, actually I don't know, somebody suggested me to perform this task, I was thinking should have been the right thing to do....my current situation is that I have a web application based on django, so it uses the apache mod_wsgi, during an operation on the web frontend I got a segmentation fault in apache2 error log. The developers suggested me to debug the apache seg fault and they suggested me the link I put above. I followed the instruction [12:47] however the file in such directory has not been created. [12:48] ikonia, can you help me? [12:48] thanks for the help, everyone! [12:49] eugenio_: do you have all the debugging symbols installed for apache and the module you think is causing the problem ? [12:49] ikonia, I think yes [12:50] eugenio_: don't think - check [12:52] ... [12:53] do you see my word? [12:53] linlin, we see you. ask your ubuntu question [12:54] ikonia, I got apache2-dbg, anythings else?

[12:57] ikonia, I don't see the package [12:58] eugenio_: then you need to find out if it's in the existing package or a different name [13:01] ikonia, find it: libapache2-mod-wsgi-dbgsym [13:01] well done [13:04] UBuntu doesn't support https for kickstarting ?

[14:41] I purchased my Ubuntu from OS Disc.com in USB form. [14:41] Tarminquay: which ubuntu? [14:41] Why then does the user say this: "During installation, connect it with LAN cable. WIFI did not work during installation." [14:41] Tarminquay: Yup. I did the exact thing that you are doing right now yesterday. [14:41] Why do I need to connect with LAN cable? [14:41] Tarminquay it's free on ubuntu.com [14:41] EriC^^: I purchased 15.10 Ubuntu MATE. [14:42] if you have internet connection during install. the packages would get updated and installed [14:42] Tarminquay: ok, well you dont need an internet connection to install it (unless it's a netinstall mini iso ) [14:42] Ghost_r00t: And if I don't? [14:42] jester-: http://pastebin.com/CLgTdH52 [14:42] if not you have to do update afterward [14:42] Okay. [14:43] MonkeyDust: I purchased the USB because I don't have a Windows computer to make the boot disk. [14:43] Tarminquay: sudo apt-get update and dist update blabla.... [14:43] Ghost_r00t: Do I need to know command lines like those? [14:43] Or is there a GUI? [14:43] Tarminquay: all the files areon usb stick but not all are the newest version available [14:43] I mean for those functions. [14:43] Tarminquay: it auto updates automatically [14:43] afancy: wois has identified your friend [14:44] jester-: yes, so, how could i remove it? [14:44] Also, do you recommend I update the BIOS before I install Ubuntu? [14:44] Tarminquay: no; first time after install and with internet connection you face a window telling you that some updates are available and you just say yes [14:44] jester-: if i kill the process, it will automatically generate a new one [14:44] I read the firmware on the Intel NUC I am using comes 9 months old from the factory. [14:45] afancy: the bet way would be block it with firewall [14:45] Tarminquay: that is a virtue depond on you but i would if i were you. [14:45] afancy: i think you're failing to read the information being provided. Blocking the user on that IP address is ***NOT A GUARANTEE*** [14:45] Ghost_r00t: What's the benefit of the latest firmware? [14:45] afancy: the system is compromised. That means there's likely OTHER back doors they can use to get in [14:45] teward: +1 [14:45] afancy: without a reinstall, your system remains compromised, and there could be malware on the system, or illegal items, etc. [14:45] which is why we so strongly advocate reinstallation ... [14:45] not is not related to ubuntu. unless you are sitting on an old hardware [14:45] afancy: so either contact the administrator of the server and inform them that they need to reinstall BECAUSE it's compromised [14:46] afancy: or panic, because you're helpless in this case because it's not your system [14:46] Tarminquay: hardware support and maybe EFI [14:46] EFI = ? [14:46] afancy: regardless of who the person is you've been compromised - reinstallation will erase the compromise and start you anew, THEN you can set up your firewall brand new in a way that will prohibit unauthorized access to services running on ports. [14:46] afancy: as all you have said the best way to fix the problem is a new installation [14:47] afancy: without the clean reinstallation you're going toget breached again by another IP. And another IP. And potentially another IP. [14:47] jester-: well, i know re-installation solve the problem. But, i dont own this server [14:47] afancy: then CONTACT the person who DOES own the server [14:47] afancy: and inform them that the server is COMPROMISED and should be reinstalled cleanly [14:47] afancy: it only makes sense to reinstall.. [14:47] afancy: ESPECIALLY if the server is not yours, you should be talking to the administrators when you find this kind of thing [14:48] afancy, you might want to advise the owner that this is probably a priority [14:48] afancy: the MOMENT a server is compromised, the person who DOES own the server is liable for whatever the server is being told to do by that compromiser. [14:48] did i just disable this service from automatically starting or did it just state that an startup link doesnt exist? http://pastie.org/pastes/10636134/text?key=mvzsl8twaufflytdp8phqq [14:48] afancy: and I recommend a "HIGH PRIORITY" email indicating to the administrator the system ***is compromised and may be being used to distribute malware, illegal items, or any other malicious actions*** [14:48] afancy: how does that make any difference? [14:49] afancy: and that they should erase and reinstall the OS as soon as possible, and take additional steps to secure their system [14:49] afancy: miracles God makes them and the girls of 200 months old [14:49] lol [14:49] afancy: again, whether you own the system or not, it is ***your duty*** to tell the administrator things like this, and the actual owners. [14:49] and i'm sorry if i seem annoyed at your handling of this, but I am - i'm an IT Security guy, I routinely have to tell people this when they asked me to try and id if they got compromised, and sometimes they were [14:50] and IT Security 101: If you're already compromised, chances are the same compromise is in use by other malicious threat actors as well, and even if you block one IP, they'll get past it with proxies or VPNs, or any thousands of other mechanisms [14:51] or have another threat actor attack you instead [14:51] because you're still compromised, and haven't resolved the issue. [14:51] Tarminquay: new BIOS replacement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface [14:52] what are the packages names for kernel and its initrd ? [14:52] Ghost_r00t: I don't want to update the BIOS. [14:52] Ghost_r00t: Any harm leaving it as it ships from the factory? [14:53] Tarminquay: that's a good idea, i think bios stuff is sort of messy and might brick the system, never done it myself though [14:53] Ghost_r00t: linux-image--generic [14:53] and the linux-image-extra--generic [14:54] EriC^^: Interesting. I left my router's firmware alone and I've never had a problem. [14:54] Tarminquay: yeah that's what i mean, if it ain't broke, don't fix it ;) [15:00] . [15:07] Hello :) [15:10] afancy, if I recall, you have know of the system breach for HOURS now .. and you STILL have yet to advise the owner. Knowingly.

[15:11] It used to work fine [15:11] TinFury yes, windows is known to ruin grub... you'll have to repair it [15:11] Setting haven't changed. [15:11] TinFury, then reset it as default, and update-grub [15:11] MonkeyDust, How? I checked my config and rand update-grub [15:11] Oh reset to default first? how?

[15:17] I must have installed grub2 some other way. how can i find out? I know i didn't by src [15:17] i would just reinstall grub [15:18] can i just apt-get install grub2 over what I have? [15:18] TinFury, your installer/ubiquity installed grub by default [15:18] Hi to all. Some os yours install kdenlive in Ubuntu 15.10? I install UbuntuStudio 15.10 where kdenlive come by default but not have icons [15:18] ok so can I just apt-get install over it? [15:19] wachin, ask in #ubuntustudio [15:20] TinFury, yes, apt-get install --reinstall [15:20] Ummm. i did it without waiting for an answer... let's see if it will reboot. [15:20] oh [15:20] but it should take the same spot, i think [15:21] see you back in 2 min or maybe hours if it didn't take.

[15:46] feel free to join #ubuntu-offtopic [15:46] "but seriously".. ha ha ha [15:47] Cool, good to know. Maybe I'll try out *buntu then. [15:48] glad kubuntu doesn't have spyware , at least not any I'm aware of :-) [15:48] windows has some spyware, iirc [15:49] MonkeyDust, windows has tons of it. Especially 10. === carlo is now known as Guest81619 [15:53] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1258958 i found the bug report for the segfault i mentioned earlier. no solution yet => workaround time :/ [15:53] Launchpad bug 1258958 in apt (Ubuntu Precise) "apt-mark segfaults when holding an already held package" [Medium,Triaged] === sylvain is now known as Guest45060 === [UPA]Stefan is now known as Tronsha [16:00] can i disable core dumps for a process? === cpaelzer is now known as cpaelzer_afk [16:03] can you upgrade from non LTC version to LTC easily by few command lines without any other hassles? [16:03] depends ubuntu748 [16:04] you can go from 15.10 to 16.04 [16:04] what version do you have right now? [16:04] ubuntu748, do you mean LTS? [16:04] cfhowlett: Im thinking of installing 15.10 now and upgrading to 16.04 when it comes out, do you think it will be a easy upgrade? [16:05] ubuntu748: should be [16:05] sure [16:05] that's not LTS to LTS. [16:05] ubuntu748, yeah, should be pretty painless. [16:05] backup data & always prepare an USB with the latest iso before upgrading ;-) [16:05] daftykins, he asked about non-LTS to LTS upgrade [16:05] oh yeah [16:06] * daftykins misread [16:06] this will be non-LTS to LTS upgrade, so still no problems? [16:06] 15.10 is not LTS and 16.04 will be LTS [16:07] ubuntu748, if you upgrade during the service window, it's a normal procedure. if you miss the window you have to do an EOLupgrade. (Hint: do not miss the window) [16:07] i just want the usual upgrade from command line to work without any hassles [16:07] No known issues yet, ubuntu748, but check the releasebnotes before you do [16:07] ubuntu748, you were asked what you use now [16:07] I use elementaryOS atm, getting really tired of it [16:07] we understand :-D [16:07] http://viewpure.com/7LtjzQaFZ3k?start=0&end=0 [16:08] ubuntu748, understand completely [16:08] ubuntu748, do you have / and /home partitions? === Guest45060 is now known as smolleyes [16:08] ubuntu748, try this: install 14.04.3 (LTS) NOW and upgrade to 16.04 when it comes out. [16:08] it was supposed to be "seemless to use" it's actually opposite, I miss Ubuntu so much but couldn't go back before vacation started [16:09] cfhowlett: So I shouldn't install 15.10? [16:09] Can I have an ubuntu LTS chroot running via an arch kernel? Is there an ubuntu debootstrap? [16:09] ubuntu748, if you want LTS, 14.04.3 is what you can do immediately, then go to 16.04 in April. Come back from the Elementary side. [16:09] lol elementary. [16:10] cfhowlett: I really don't care about LTS just I can upgrade easily from each version to new, I always want the newest Ubuntu [16:10] yes you can easily upgrade. [16:11] Cool thanks will go and do that now, and yea elemtaryOS sucks so bad, don't try it [16:11] yes, yes, let your ubuntu flow .... [16:12] ubuntu748, ubuntu has got a setting, lts > lts or upgrade to any new version, so you can choose from 16.10 to do what you want. === TheFreakler is now known as Al3x_10m [16:12] OerHeks: Thanks, then I will just install 15.10 now and upgrade to 16.10 when it comes out [16:15] Hey. Has anyone seen any issues with hotplug on Ubuntu12.04 when adding memory to a VMware virtual machine? [16:15] Hello! [16:16] adding RAM whilst it's on? not something i'd try to do :) [16:16] I am buying an MSI CUBI CELERON 3205U. [16:16] Is this fully supported by Ubuntu? [16:16] I've tried that [16:16] hotplug is supported by the linux kernel...has been for years. [16:16] you claimed to have bought a Gigabyte Brix earlier... [16:17] [24975277.777395] ACPI:memory_hp:add_memory failed [16:17] [24975277.777533] ACPI:memory_hp:Error in acpi_memory_enable_device [16:17] [24975277.777595] acpi_memhotplug: probe of PNP0C80:00 failed with error -22 [16:17] [24975277.777618] [16:17] [24975277.777619] driver data not found [16:17] [24975277.777681] ACPI:memory_hp:Cannot find driver data [16:17] But vmware needed to reboot the guest machine [16:17] don't paste in here. [16:17] daftykins: he was *demanding* answers about the realtek driver last night, I think he got turned off to the idea of the gigabyte brix.

[16:18] *demanding* ? auto - add to /ignore [16:18] how can I rebuild the home directory of gnome. I'm unable to login at all. [16:18] Either way... The vmware ESX host has added the memory without any issue. The Ubuntu operating system sees the memory but has left it in an offline state. [16:19] scaldwell: what makes you claim that? [16:19] When I use "cat /sys/devices/system/memory/memory136/state" it sees the new memory [16:19] scaldwell: what RAM sizes were you going from and to - and what's the "uname -a" output from the VM? [16:20] scaldwell afaik, you can only reduce memory, but not add new memory [16:20] This server is on ubuntu 12.04 with a Linux 3.2.0-40-generic kernel [16:21] We are going from 16GB to 24 GB [16:21] reducing memory would work via the balloon device which just locks physical pages for itself and tells ESX they're free to throw away [16:21] Right. But I am not trying to reduce memory. I need to scale up the memory. [16:22] scaldwell: that's not quite the information i asked for, i score that a 2 out of 3 [16:22] I am trying to avoid a maintenance window this weekend. [16:22] then your problem is with vmware, not with ubuntu imo [16:22] the idea of live adding RAM just asks for trouble [16:22] How so, daftykins? [16:22] can you give the requested output? === gbell1 is now known as gbell [16:23] ------> //ns identify password | m $+ s $+ g mypass <---- help me about command!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good to know. [16:53] When did that change? [16:53] tarm keep in mind the usb device matters [16:53] i have a 3.0 that works and a 3.0 that just will not boot.

[16:59] yea jjlx thanks, i found that one. does exactly what i need [16:59] jackcom: if you imported a text file from windows, the line endings use carriage return + line feed, but linux just uses the line feed, so you see the ^M for carriage return. you can use fromdos and todos in the tofrodos package to convert between them [16:59] my unity tweak tool settings are not saved, can anybody help me with that? [17:00] daftykins: what is your opinion on the current oil embargo in Armenia? [17:01] i don’ understand it : fromdos and todos in the tofrodos package trism [17:01] howtosed: grow up. [17:01] my unity tweak tool settings are not saved, can anybody help me with that? [17:01] What's the easiest way to get systemd 209 on trusty? [17:02] jackcom: it is a package: sudo apt-get install tofrodos; then for your text file, say it is text.txt you would enter: fromdos text.txt; in a terminal and it would remove the carriage returns from the line endings [17:02] reactormonk: it wasn't used back then so i think you'd better wait for 16.04 [17:02] daftykins, I'll just go with a vivid - apparently systemd-nspawn requires 209 at least in the client container [17:02] daftykins: Is 16.04 going to be released with unity 8 by default?

[17:12] sudo apt-get install tweak-tool [17:12] unity_: what version of ubuntu are you running, and how did you install unity tweak tool? [17:13] nicomachus: running 14.04, and unity tweak tool was already installed [17:14] unity_: you can try reinstalling it if that helps [17:14] jjlx: i already did [17:15] unity_: does it clear out your settings on reboot, or just not apply them at all? [17:15] nicomachus: it doesn't apply them at all. [17:17] hello [17:17] unity_: ok. try this: in a terminal, type "gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings active false" and then "gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings active false" [17:18] scratch that, second command should be "gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings active true" [17:19] sorry [17:19] karstensrage: Also, depending on what it is, there may already be a package out there that you can use. If not, I would use "checkinstall" instead of "make install" when running the last command. [17:20] nicomachus: that changed my text stly [17:20] nicomachus: style [17:20] unity_: you did both commands? setting false and then true? [17:20] nicomachus: should i reboot now? because like that it doesn't work [17:21] nicomachus: yeah, the text style changes were applied after the first command. i was thrown to the lock screen [17:21] unity remove tweak tool and install again [17:21] kubuntu-kde: i did already [17:21] unity_: you were thrown to the lock screen. so were you able to input the second command? [17:22] nicomachus: yes, after i entered my password and started another console [17:22] i am using kde [17:22] ok. and did that revert the text style changes? [17:22] nicomachus: nope [17:23] eek. give it a reboot, see if that reverts it. [17:23] nicomachus: okay then [17:23] rypervenche: sorry what do you mean another package i can use? [17:24] build-essentials didnt give me autoreconf [17:24] karstensrage: Well, the first question we need to ask is what program are you trying to compile and install? [17:25] nicomachus: unity tweak tool still doesn't apply changes. [17:26] unity_: are you the only user account on that machine? [17:26] nicomachus: yes [17:28] karstensrage, do you have autoconf pkg ? [17:29] ioria: i had to install dh-autoreconf [17:29] karstensrage, ok [17:30] unity_: can you paste the output of "ls -al ~/" in a pastebin and link that here? [17:30] wait a second...

[17:36] Those system requirements are VERY low. [17:36] You really think someone would be happy with those system requirements? [17:36] Tarminquay, personally the i3 intel is a better experince here [17:37] BluesKaj: But the Celeron box is $220 CAD. The i3 box is $380 CAD. That's a big incease in price, you see. I wonder if it's worth it for my non-power needs. [17:38] Tarminquay: I understand you are exited about receiving your new computer and Ubuntu USB stick, but this is the Ubuntu Support channel, and is not a forum for theoretical problems or issues [17:38] "For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu or !Lubuntu" [17:38] nicomachus: any idea?

[17:56] unity_ have you already rebooted ? [17:56] ioria: oh wait a second [17:58] TJ-, My guesses is that there is something wrong either with the graphics driver, sound driver, touchpad/keyboard or the resume/suspend thing... But which one I have no idea. The problem is that it freezes completely at random when Im using the computer. Ive tried to use it with touchpad disabled and usb keyboard, and havent had it crash then. But I have no idea if thats the problem... The error here seems to point towards th [17:58] e audio pulse driver? Basically everything freezes on the screen but the stuff keeps on working, sound playing and I assume all the other processes but the image is frozen. [17:59] Before, sometimes I could make it reset by shutting down the lid and then being able to log out and then log in again, but i disabled that right now to see if htats the problem. So now i just have to shut it all down [17:59] And then sometimes it gives me that error when i reboot [17:59] ioria: doesn't work [17:59] lrs: that sounds like a graphics failure. Your screeshots show a Kernel Oops - which is a severe failure in the kernel, we need the bug report because it will have all relevant log files attached [17:59] ioria: settings are deleted upon closing the tweak tool [17:59] TJ-, How do you find it? I sent it away [17:59] unity_ dpkg -l compizconfig-settings-manager [18:00] ioria: i know that i have it [18:00] ioria: compiz works fine [18:00] lrs: usually when you post the bug it should open a local web browser on the bug report page so you can details of what you were doing when the failure happened. It could be there's already the same bug report by others and so instead of creating a new bug report it simply added a 'me too' to that [18:03] TJ-, That has never happened for me [18:04] unity_ dpkg -l compiz-plugins-extra [18:05] ioria: not sure how to interprete that, it says "un" in the beginning [18:06] lrs: I've found a large number of the same kind of bug, with duplicates, which is probably why [18:06] unity_ you don't have it...

My Xubuntu stalls for a quite long moment when booting up: there is no disk usage during that time, but the splash screen animation is active. Can't see anything in dmesg though. How should I check what's wrong? It used to boot very fast earlier. [18:33] *quickly [18:33] AlexQ: press esc while it boots to see the msgs [18:34] EriC^^: That simple? I thought I should modify the kernel cmdline before booting :D Okay, let me check [18:34] exit [18:40] EriC^^: I managed to hit Esc before that period, splash screen disappeared, but there was only black screen and messages reappeared for a second or so only after the booting resumed. There you go with dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14054477/ [18:40] EriC^^: Should I disable graphical boot/splash screen altogether? And how should I do it properly? [18:40] AlexQ: maybe you should do a bootchart [18:40] so you'd really see where it's hanging [18:41] TJ-: did you file a bug regarding the PAM close_session issue or should i file? [18:41] okay dokay [18:42] AlexQ: you could try removing quiet splash from the kernel line in grub and putting verbose [18:42] EriC^^: Guess I'll do that and bootcharting simultaneously, see what happens. === Bugboy1028 is now known as DeafieGamer [18:44] EriC^^: I also have a parameter $vt_handoff in kernel cmdline, what is that about?

[18:56] ioria: he says it was "already installed" [18:56] ioria: it already was installed [18:57] unity_ mmmmm [18:57] yea... [18:57] unity_ don't think so [18:57] F-L-Y-E-R: As far as I know, remmina is just to access the server...it would have to be running in order for you to connect to it in the first place, and should continue running after you exit remmina [18:57] unity_ apt-cahce policy unity-tweak-tool [18:57] unity_ apt-cache policy unity-tweak-tool [18:58] ioria: where do i paste that [18:58] unity_ paste.ubuntu.com [18:58] slidinghorn, so it doesn't matter what type of connection I chose because you can select different types, I chose VNC [18:59] F-L-Y-E-R: are you sure you want to waste the ressources on a server for running a desktop? why not use ssh as login per cli? [19:00] ioria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14054858/ [19:00] k1l, I'm using it for the first time and have no knowledge, also I'm not good in ubuntu so I need to see what is going on [19:00] EriC^^: Could you have a look at that? http://pasteboard.co/59bDhFM.svg+xml [19:01] F-L-Y-E-R: what is the server's purpose? [19:01] unity_ it's all the output ? [19:01] slidinghorn, to compile android ROM [19:01] ioria: yes [19:01] F-L-Y-E-R: you dont need a desktop for that [19:01] F-L-Y-E-R: its just terminal commands anyway. [19:02] unity_ should be like this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/14054891/ [19:03] k1l, yes but I wanted to set up and I already opened it up and started to sync the source, so that's why I'm asking if I close it, it will stay running? [19:03] ioria: well yeah i forgot the first line saying unity-tweak-tool: [19:03] ioria: but that's it [19:03] F-L-Y-E-R: dont know about remmina. on ssh no, it will just stop. that is why you use screen on server [19:04] unity_ it's not only the first line... but ok [19:04] k1l, what is screen on server? [19:04] ioria: ok i'll paste again then [19:04] unity_ ok [19:05] !screen | F-L-Y-E-R [19:05] F-L-Y-E-R: screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. The 'byobu' package provides very useful additional utilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [19:05] ioria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14054946 [19:05] F-L-Y-E-R: it will keep your terminals open on the server if you lose connection. [19:05] k1l, so it means that I cannot shut down my pc under any cirmustances? [19:06] F-L-Y-E-R: in short: login per ssh, start a screensession with "screen -S name_here" then do your commands, logout of the screen with "ctrl+a+d" then if you want to reconnect login with ssh, on the server do "screen -r name_here" [19:07] F-L-Y-E-R: read k1l message carefully, u can shutdown ur PC [19:07] F-L-Y-E-R: if you use your server not as a server, dont suspect to act like a server. [19:08] unity_ well, the point is that unity-tweak-tool does not come preinstalled ... [19:08] ioria: soo?? [19:08] AlexQ: i dunno much about that to be honest [19:08] EriC^^: Okay, I had to remove that $vthandoff to see messages apparently. I had something [19:08] ok [19:08] unity_ so... something weird happened === ubik_ is now known as Guest75120 [19:09] ioria: what do i have to do then [19:09] unity_ do you have for any changed tried gnome-tweak-tool ? [19:09] EriC^^: Took a pic, it said sth like that: "A start job is running for dev-disk-by\....\...\....\....\...device (45s / 1min 30s) [19:09] *for any chances [19:10] AlexQ: someone was talking about this ealier, it was a bug with systemd mounting swap [19:10] k1s, well I closed remmina and then came back again and all on screen tabs that I opened were running browser etc [19:10] ioria: i don't think so [19:10] ioria: i read about it though [19:10] AlexQ: is your swap mounted right now? type free -m [19:10] unity_ uname -r [19:10] k1s, I'm a windows user and use ubuntu for building ROMs so now I had a chance to win dedicated server but I still need to boot ubuntu to operate it anyway [19:10] seems this encrypted swap bug is pretty common.. [19:10] ikonia: I actually don't have any swap atm. Windows 10 installer thought that it was free space when installing, for some reason xD [19:11] I think it was BluesKaj who noted it [19:11] ioria: 3.19.0-39-generic [19:11] AlexQ: if you do "swapon -s" what do you see [19:11] AlexQ: well that would explain it, systemd is still trying to find it and it's taking longer to mount [19:11] *to boot [19:11] TJ-, Hey, sorry. Had to go for a while. So what do you suggest? === kpease_ is now known as kpease [19:11] TJ-, Ive tried to reinstall and uninstall loads of different nvidia divers [19:11] ioria: grep unity-tweak /var/log/apt/term.log | pastebinit? === kpease is now known as kpease_ [19:11] unity_ ^ nicomachus [19:12] I'd never heard of the bug before and it doesn't happen on my systems, but when I looked into it, the bug looks real [19:12] ioria: hahaha [19:12] F-L-Y-E-R: running a desktop on a server produces a lot of overheat. i really suggest to just use the ssh login with screen. since there is nothing to "look at " either terminal windows. which is the same if you look at them trhough ssh on your laptop. [19:13] k1l, thanks I will try this but anyway now I'll need to wait till sync is over not gonna take that long anyway === kingplusplus_ is now known as kingplusplus [19:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14055099/ ioria nicomachus [19:14] so it was installed with apt-get, then. [19:14] k1l, so are there anything like screen for windows? [19:14] F-L-Y-E-R: you dont need that on windows [19:15] or is this a windows server? [19:15] unity_ let's try to purge it ... [19:15] k1l, no it's ubuntu server [19:15] F-L-Y-E-R: so you're logging into the ubuntu server FROM windows? you can use PuTTy for that [19:15] F-L-Y-E-R: so login with ssh on that server. then start the screen session like i described [19:15] unity_ sudo apt-get purge unity-tweak-tool [19:15] F-L-Y-E-R: to use ssh on windows, use something like "putty" [19:16] ioria: restart after? [19:16] unity_ log out , log in and we'll reinstall [19:16] AlexQ: type cat /etc/fstab , and sudo blkid and paste the results [19:16] k1l, oh sorry I thought screen needs to be run on my personal machine... Ok no more questions === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [19:17] EriC^^: ikonia: free -m: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14055130/ swapon -s / sudo swapon -s : nothing [19:17] ioria: ok [19:17] ioria: done [19:17] unity_ try to aou-hide the launcher [19:17] unity_ try to auto-hide the launcher [19:18] EriC^^: /etc/fstab: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14055178/ sudo blkid: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14055190/ [19:18] ioria: do i have to do the logout after the installation??

[19:24] ^^ +1 [19:24] OerHeks: i installed the ubuntu package when i was using xubuntu [19:24] OerHeks: but everything works fine except of unity tweak tool [19:24] slidinghorn: good point, i was only stuck without a linux machine a handfull of times thats home many times i used that plugin, worked fine [19:25] unity_ you are Xubuntu ? [19:25] ioria: yes do i have to reinstall?! [19:26] unity_ wt..... [19:26] ioria: ?? [19:26] lolz, no, logout, change DM to unity, and login [19:26] unity_ you can't use unity-tweak-tool on Xubuntu [19:26] then unity tweak will work [19:26] EriC^^: Actually it is not friendly at all, you have to have that empty space on the beginning of your drive as well. I only succeeded because I assumed it is needed, as previous installations had this. I had an empty 512 MiB NTFS as first partiton and another empty NTFS logical partition for the OS, but it did not want to go forward, so I removed that first empty NTFS partition and swap partitions disappeared from the installers' list :D Crazy. But fortunately X [19:27] /load .xchat2/budus.so [19:27] ioria: no no i am running ubuntu [19:27] AlexQ: (message cut off) [19:27] fabio: dont do that commands in a channel, do them in the server window. [19:27] ioria: ok it was like that: i had xubuntu, then i downloaded the ubuntu packages and when i went to the login screen i could switch to ubuntu. now ubuntu is working. [19:27] teward: Ahh, nevermind, just complaining about Win10 installer. [19:28] unity_ # deb cdrom:[Xubuntu 14.04 LTS _Trusty Tahr [19:28] hhey guys, i'm having troubles setting up my backup policy. i can find documentation on how to setup full and incremental backups but i can't seem to find how to only do incrementals on certain directories. can anyone point me in the right direction? [19:28] this is using backuppc [19:28] unity_ apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [19:28] ioria: that's what i did [19:29] EriC^^: So can I disable swap on boot up so that systemd won't search for it? And how does it know precisely how long it takes from the very beginning? It just goes from 0 to 1m 30 and then continues xD [19:30] EriC^^: There is no HDD activity reported by the LED at all. Not a single blink [19:30] AlexQ: yeah, you can comment out the swap in /etc/fstab [19:30] yeah it's probably just waiting for it, then it gives up and continues [19:31] AlexQ: maybe you can make a swap file [19:34] daftykins, TJ thanks for the insight earlier. Just having someone to bounce the issue off of got one problem solved today. I appreciate the assist. ;-) [19:35] unity_ sorry... running out of ideas ... [19:36] EriC^^: Oh thanks, I thought that it will be automatically detected when swap disappears. So I have to add it to /etc/fstab manually after I create that partition? Or is there an automatic way to do it? [19:37] hey all im trying to do: pip3 install selenium what command can i put so it has permission [19:37] i keep on forgeting :( [19:37] sudo? [19:37] AlexQ: yeah you need to replace the uuid in /etc/fstab after you make the swap with mkswap [19:38] AlexQ: yeah sudo mkswap /dev/sdxY ( after you create a partition for the swap ) [19:38] ( dont mkswap /dev/sda obviously ) [19:38] ioria: :/ [19:39] unity_ anything else is working ? [19:39] ioria: i just want to change the location of the icons hahaha [19:39] ioria: compiz works just fine [19:39] EriC^^: Ehh, I removed the line instead of commenting it out. So mkswap won't add it automatically to fstab? Or other tool? [19:39] Hey folks, is there any reason that rhythmbox would refuse all audio files?

[19:40] AlexQ: nope, mkswap only makes the partition a swap [19:40] and gives it a new uuid, then you add that uuid to /etc/fstab [19:40] So this is what IRC looks like... [19:40] Finetundra, install restricted-extras for codecs & webplugins and such [19:40] OerHeks: I'll get on it!

Each time I update grub, It hogs the first spot in Boot Order so that it boots up instead of GRUB menu. ugh [19:42] avz: that's to do with grub not windows [19:42] avz: siwtch the bootorder in bios to the disk where ubuntu/grub is installed [19:42] that's not default btw [19:43] It appears only in the boot menu. But not in the boot order selector in the BIOS menu, unfortunately [19:43] avz: oh, nevermind, misread [19:43] avz: Go to /etc/grub.d/ [19:43] is that an IRC channel? [19:43] avz: i think that has to do with uefi [19:43] yes i have uefi [19:44] avz: every time i update win10 it boots as well [19:44] i tried disabling it but it still boots to win8 [19:44] avz: type sudo efibootmgr -v [19:45] oh that might be because you used the temp fix of replacing the windows efi file with grub file [19:45] and pastebin in paste.ubuntu.com [19:45] ah i've helped you with that? [19:45] ill try that soon. thanks for your help [19:46] avz: So you mean that it _DOES_NOT_ start GRUB then, it just ommits omits it and goes straight to Windows, just to clarify? [19:46] same thing happens here, when i update win10 it overwrites the efi file again and i have to back it up again and copy grub over it [19:46] yes goes straight to win8 [19:47] avz: did you replace the file or have i helped you with it? === BradCrittenden is now known as bac [19:47] i replaced the file as a temp fix [19:47] oh ok [19:48] ill enter the command you gave me when im ready to restart. my internet connection is too shaky right now [19:51] unity_ notify-osd is installed ?

[20:02] ioria: no because i don't want it to autohide [20:03] unity_ it was a test .... [20:03] unity_ to see if it's working ...

[20:26] ioria: whiteglass === nacc_ is now known as nacc [20:30] unity_ working for me... [20:30] ioria: did you restart in between?? [20:31] unity_ no [20:31] ioria: well that's weird [20:32] unity_ go in unity-tweak-tool -> Icons -> Whiteglass and see if nautilus changes [20:33] ioria: what do you mean by nautilus [20:33] unity_ in the launcher the nautilus icon will (should) change .... [20:34] unity_ nautilus is the file manager [20:34] hi...i have this problem again....some times cant move my mouse's pointer easily with my tochpad :( [20:34] ioria: oh yeah it does change [20:34] unity_ so it's working.... [20:34] ioria: but the mouse pointer stays the same when changing the mouse icons [20:37] unity_ yeah... [20:38] why is ubuntu always giving me system program problem detected at startup? [20:38] dustinr: press show more [20:38] oh [20:38] i haven't done that [20:41] dustinr, ls /var/crash [20:41] ioria: afk, dinner [20:41] plz help me guys...some times cant move my mouse's pointer easily with my tochpad [20:42] unity_ ok... maybe today .... [20:42] unity_ ok... maybe tomorrow === bart is now known as Guest10337 [20:44] hello [20:44] hello [20:45] its my first time for years beeing in an IRC chat. [20:45] for the past few months, i've been getting repeated segfaults with some programs (chrome, pidgin, texworks), does anybody have any tips about how i could figure out if there's anything in common between them? [20:45] so its good :) [20:46] LX: welcome. This channel is strictly for ubuntu support. free chat can be done in #ubuntu-offtopic or #freenode [20:46] here are 3 screenshots: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mx5wati3rpyzzsi/Screenshot%20from%202015-12-09%2002-32-21.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/umc5slu0eapgg2d/Screenshot%20from%202015-12-15%2015-50-28.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/30gxsj26my8jhvl/texworks.png?dl=0 [20:46] OK, nicomachus [20:46] furkan: did that perhaps start when you did a kernel upgrade? [20:46] do u can help me? [20:46] you can "throw" a file manager window at the edge of the screen and have it resize automatically to occupy 1/2 the screen. Is that a feature of Unity or of Compiz specifically? [20:46] hi [20:47] nicomachus: i'm pretty sure it started happening after i upgraded to the 15.10 beta, so i suppose yeah that would have coincided with a kernel upgrade [20:47] reza_sam: does the touch pad work at all? [20:47] furkan: Memory .. bad or shortage ? Have you run a memtest on the ram ? How much ram is installed ? [20:47] reza_sam: You'll have to be more specific about the problem. [20:47] furkan: is your hardware old-ish at all? [20:47] Bashing-om: i have 16GB RAM, haven't done a memtest though [20:47] I had a mobo that didn't like the 3.19 kernel at all [20:48] nicomachus: it's a Phenom II X4 so oldish but still pretty capable i guess [20:48] furkan: 16gigs ! (jealous) Well that is not the problem ! [20:48] my toch pad work good in mint and otther os...but i cant move good in ubuntu [20:48] sometimes [20:49] reza_sam: yea... "cant move good" isn't very specific. [20:49] i guess i should do a memtest... i didn't have any problems before, but i guess RAM could go bad with time? [20:49] how do I identify what package to 'apt-get' for a particular application? [20:50] some tomes i have bit puse with pointer [20:50] Simonious: apt-cache search [20:50] Simonious: "apt search " [20:50] thanks, what is the difference between these two answers? [20:50] furkan: Not likely to go bad .. but possible . Might also see what ' free -m ' and ' top ' have to say about memory management . [20:50] Simonious: apt is the new apt-get [20:51] or apt-cache in that case [20:51] reza_sam: I'm sorry, but I'm having trouble understanding, and I take it that English is not your first language. Would you perhaps be more comfortable in a channel that speaks your native language? [20:51] Bashing-om: lots of cache but plenty of free space [20:51] so.. the application I'm looking for is comspy and both returned nothing, please advise. [20:51] and the thing is, it only happens with specific programs... like it happens with chrome but never with firefox [20:51] i was thinking if there could be some system library that's corrupted [20:52] a library that all 3 of these programs use [20:52] would there be any way to find out what dependencies they have in common? [20:52] Simonious: its not in the repos. so see the projects website how to install [20:53] furkan: With 16Gifgs, I would not think swap to be an issue . but does not hurt to watch it . Any obsreved abnormalities prior to system seg faulting ? ( stomping on protected memory ) . [20:53] nicomachus>listen again...for example my mouse'pointer is right corner and i wanna move it to left corner...some times i can move it easily and some times i have a bit puse for move it [20:54] Bashing-om: i've disabled the swap file :P [20:54] nicomachus>Do u understand? [20:54] and no observed abnormalities, other than the program freezing for a few seconds before the segfault [20:54] and everything else continues to run normally [20:56] furkan: Sounds like a task for 'strace' . But usually above my skill level to read what all the system is doing . [20:56] nicomachus so are u here my friend? [20:57] Bashing-om: oh man... i think i'd do a clean install before resorting to that lol [20:57] reza_sam: jesus, be patient. [20:59] nicomachus> so do u can solve my problem or unistall ubuntu and come back mint or fedora?just it [20:59] according to 'apt-cache depends', the only dependency they have in common is libc6 [20:59] reza_sam: best to re-ask your issue in one line once in a while and be patient [21:00] furkan: Might do something like ' apt-cache depends google-chrome-stable ' redirecting to a file, and same for the other misbehvaing apps. then compare the files for shared attributes ? [21:00] Bashing-om: yeah that's what i just did, libc6 is the only one i see in comon [21:00] Help [21:00] my /boot ran out of disk space [21:00] *common [21:00] when I tried to upgrade my kernel; [21:00] fullstack: uninstall some old kernels? [21:00] fullstack: remove old kernel packages [21:01] ok, how do I list and remove un-used or old kernel [21:01] dpkg -l | grep kernel [21:01] dpkg -l | grep linux-image [21:01] furkan: Following that line of thoght, md5sum libc6, see if there might be some corruption ? [21:01] fullstack: the way i do it is dpkg -l | grep linux [21:01] ? [21:01] lol fullstack [21:02] so im in work and im very nervous...i have important job so wanna solve it faster tnx [21:02] yeah fullstack so look for linux-headers and linux-image [21:02] ok, how do I rm them [21:02] reza_sam: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [21:02] reza_sam: again...re-ask your issue once in a while [21:02] 15.10 [21:02] fullstack: sudo apt-get remove linux-image-blabla linux-headers-blabla linux-image-extra-blabla [21:03] fullstack: If you are not at full capacity . and the package manager is still in a consistent state ' sudo apt-get autoremove ' will also remove old kernels . [21:03] just copy/paste them all [21:03] nfor example my mouse'pointer is right corner and i wanna move it to left corner...some times i can move it easily and some times i have a bit puse for move it [21:03] furkan also try sudo aptitude purge ~c <-- that's a tilde [21:03] also fullstack pro-tip: if you have a middle mouse button, just select the package name and then middle-click, and it will automatically copy/paste (in case you didn't know that terminal trick) [21:04] good evening MonkeyDust [21:04] so linux-headers aren't stored in boot [21:05] fullstack: right, but you might as well remove them anyway since you won't need them anymore [21:05] fullstack: No, they arent stored in boot. [21:05] reza_sam: is it just a slight pause before it works, and is that usually after you are typing? [21:05] fullstack also try sudo aptitude purge ~c <-- that's a tilde [21:05] hi lotuspsychje [21:06] reza_sam: does it sound like it may be this? https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/mouse-wakeup.html [21:07] some times for 2 sec...and ...some times after every work i see this problem [21:07] Ok another problem.. When I upgrade to 14.04.02 LTS kernel, it fails on Intel 915 driver [21:07] Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.19.0-39-generic (x86_64)Consult /var/lib/dkms/i915-3.16-3.13/1/build/make.log for more information. [21:07] fullstack: 14.04.3 is the current one. [21:07] i need some help, my wifi signal is really low, I tried other distros but it's the same result (probably the kernel?) my wifi is not working properly. Here are my network specifications http://pastebin.com/akcGL9Cm [21:07] fullstack: So look at that log then. [21:07] yeah yeah i think lool like this link [21:08] xr: ubuntu version? [21:08] I ran apt-get install linux-generic-lts-vivid -- but I didn't include the Xserver stuff with it, [21:08] reza_sam: this link has more info about configuring the touchpad: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [21:08] fullstack: Of course it doesnt, because you didnt tell it to include it. [21:09] Yes [21:09] so when I re-run it with the Xserver stuff -- it bombs [21:09] which I'm assuing the Xserver stuff fixes the intel 915 display problem [21:09] lotuspsychje: this is really important? [21:09] Hi, can someone help me out with creating a file to run DF command to run in cron each mornign and email it to my email? [21:09] fullstack: Define "it bombs".

[21:13] xr: did you install ubuntu with cable internet and updates enabled during setup? [21:13] fullstack: Yeah, that might happen. [21:13] lotuspsychje: yes [21:13] xr: you might need firmware for your realtek [21:13] bekks, is there an alternative [21:13] bekks, suggestion? [21:14] lotuspsychje: what is wrong with the one actually used? [21:14] reza_sam: there was a solution there to turn off the feature. "Go to System > Preferences > Mouse > Touchpad and uncheck 'Disable touchpad while typing' and 'Enable mouse clicks with touchpad'. (This method is not available under Ubuntu 14.04.)" [21:14] p444: cron should email by default [21:14] xr: you say your wifi signal is bad [21:15] Need to get 1,165 MB of archives.

[21:16] xr: you may need this fix: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new/ [21:17] Reventlov: still not awake? [21:17] lotuspsychje: it was a bad question, how did you locate the problem? [21:17] hubby's ubuntu 14.04 seems to have lost it's entire desktop settings. we remove/replaced ubuntu-desktop and cairo-dock, as well as dconf reset - but now the top/task bar does not have anything on it and isn't relating to applications on the page. the File Edit View etc isn't working there.. how can we get that back? [21:17] p444: you just need the command itself, in your default crontab (edited by calling "crontab -e"). The format of the crontab is simple - see "man 5 crontab" for the info. (Note you need the "5" in that command) [21:17] chull, ^^ === raul is now known as Guest5955 [21:18] p444: you'll see you can also set the MAILTO environment variable to change the mail recipient [21:18] !recovery | chalcedony fix broken packages [21:18] chalcedony fix broken packages: If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode.

[21:23] mcphail: when i click crontab-e i can edit yeah, but its all the nos to set time make no sense, is it after the nos then i just write DF [21:23] p444: What is "nos"?

[21:40] :) [21:40] sudo dd if=/home/tornike/Downloads/linuxmint-17.3-cinnamon-64bit.iso of=/dev/sdb1 i found information about 1. first tryied without 1 but usb flash drive was free. after that i added 1 [21:41] xD [21:41] dont dd into partitions. dd onto the bare usb drive [21:42] (when mint using hybrid isos. if not ask the mint channel how they like their isos to be made bootable on a usb drive) [21:42] RandomNoob: What k1l said. usinf sdb1 will not give you a bootable usb device. [21:42] RandomNoob: it's normal if it's free i think, it uses a special filesystem so it works with cd's and usb's [21:42] Rondom: So remove the 1 and try again. [21:42] errr [21:42] RandomNoob: ^ [21:42] RandomNoob: that was wrong, sdb not sdb1 [21:43] just format the drive with disk utility tool and run that command without 1 ?

[22:01] i will start with the first thing then, I have dual screen and launcher on main screen, I hide the launcher and have it on lowest sensetivity so it will show up when I move my mouse to left side, it never shows up [22:02] lotuspsychje: nah [22:02] ubuntu669: turn the sensitivity up? [22:02] box-broke-ubuntu: whatever he smashed couldn't affect it system-wide though, maybe it's a laptop brightness setting?

[22:10] lotuspsychje: I haven't done much otehr than the default config [22:10] box-broke-ubuntu: if your card is optimus, you need to install nvidia-prime [22:10] Li: use 'debfoster' - build its database with "sudo debfoster -q" then to list all the top-level packages do "sudo debfoster --show-keepers" [22:10] k1l: You use weechat?

[22:11] box-broke-ubuntu: check also wich driver version your on [22:12] box-broke-ubuntu: you just need the right combo driver/ and prime [22:12] yes but my driver configuration hasn't changed [22:12] so that should be a null issue [22:12] box-broke-ubuntu: that doesnt mean it was the right combo [22:12] box-broke-ubuntu: please check it sudo lshw -C video [22:13] test [22:13] ubuntu669: i dont use weechat [22:14] box-broke-ubuntu: and check if nvidia-prime is installed [22:14] box-broke-ubuntu: what ubuntu is that? [22:14] I'm root user, I can't chown a directory, permission denied - thoughts? [22:15] chown -R ubuntu workspace [22:15] lotuspsychje: alrighty [22:15] dragoonis: dont be root. use sudo [22:15] k1l: 15.04 [22:15] lotuspsychje: alright [22:15] k1l, same thing [22:16] anyway [22:16] * box-broke-ubuntu awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay [22:16] gonna deal tomorrow [22:16] dragoonis: what ubuntu is that exactly? [22:17] Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS" [22:17] dragoonis: is this a vagrant box? [22:18] k1l, yes it is [22:19] dragoonis: try lsattr workspace [22:20] dragoonis: i am not familiar with vagrant setups. seems like you need to change the permissions from the host === guard_ is now known as Guest5455 [22:20] EriC^^, lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on workspace/dashboard [22:21] dragoonis: can you change ownership of other files? [22:23] hii [22:23] Heya guys. A quick question if anyone has any idea.. I'm trying to unzip a file and overwrite the old files but it fails. Any ideas what I am doing wrong: unzip -o file.zip -d folder/* [22:25] NwS: why not unzip to another path then move, if it's being problematic? [22:26] daftykins, I've tried that but it wouldn't move all the files especially the ones within folders [22:26] I don't want to recreate the whole folder but replace with the new files wherever is needed hmm [22:26] are you just replacing some core elements in the target directory, or is the whole thing going? [22:26] yeah. i think your move was possibly not ideal then [22:27] I was following the freaking guide :P [22:27] well there's your problem, you're unzipping - not freaking! [22:27] xD [22:27] lol [22:28] * Guest90566 loves elegant solutions! [22:28] I'm trying to install http://www.passwordstore.org/ and it says to run apt-get but when I do I get the "E: Unable to locate package pass" error. I'm on a machine running 12.04 LTS, is this due to 12.04 being old or is it just not avail for some other reason? [22:29] bennyprofane, looks like you didnt add their repo [22:29] bennyprofane: you need to use the backports on precise [22:29] git might be easier [22:30] cool thanks i'll check out backports [22:30] TJ-: thanks a lot for your bios analyser [22:31] bennyprofane: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports [22:31] TJ-: got my issue sorted :) [22:31] should relogging not be sufficient to reload environment variables? [22:31] ls [22:32] and i have question about printer [22:32] linux|newb: oh cool, was it a firmware bug? [22:32] can i configure printer vie wifi? [22:33] vova, yes with cups [22:33] !cups | vova [22:33] vova: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups.

[22:35] vova: you shall not use telnet, but ssh instead. [22:36] In one books about English language i read that word 'shall' don't use? Replaced with 'will' ? [22:36] vova: Do not use telnet. [22:36] thanks a lot, guys! [22:37]

[22:52] I'm in AWS in two different subnets. When I add an eth0:0 alias for a secondary IP I can't ping the other subnet. Any suggestions? [22:52] If I bring down eth0:0 I can ping the other subnet [22:54] csmule: sounds like you're replacing the default route [22:55] Yeah, def messing up the route. Am I missing something? Is there a way to avoid that? [22:56] i'm sure i've read that's not the right way to assign two IPs to the same interface [22:57] Could be, maybe I will rethink that. [23:00] csmule: no [23:00] csmule: show us the /etc/network/interfaces file you're using [23:01] sure.. [23:01] https://gist.github.com/stonefury/30ca351e84ec11daf66d [23:02] csmule: can you show us "ip route show" *before* and *after* bringing up eth0:0 ? === kingplusplus_ is now known as kingplusplus === Monthrect is now known as Piper-Off [23:05] sorry lost friggin connection.

[23:06] kingplusplus: ops [23:08] uiopteyes: ops [23:08] TJ-: https://gist.github.com/stonefury/d4bb7cb5a87862f22719 [23:08] would using the word nigger as part of your normal vocabulary be a good reason for you to be fired?

For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [23:11] csmule_: those routes look correct; I'd suspect something in the AWS routing config (possibly configured using the control panel [23:12] Hm, I'll take a look. Thanks TJ- [23:12] csmule_: it's likely the outgoing is fine, it's the replies not getting back because they don't know 10.9.248.128/25 is on this host [23:23] There is some feature in firefox that, the way it's implemented it makes Xorg go ape-shit and use tons of CPU cycles [23:23] Does anyone know what that feature is and how to disable it? [23:24] tag: you mean the flash plugin? [23:24] nope [23:24] It's not that === michael__ is now known as Indra [23:24] I have flash disabled [23:25] tag: how many tabs do you have open for this? Is it on a particular site, or any site? Do sites it occurs on have anything in common? [23:25] Sure, maps.google.com [23:25] it basically freezes my workstation. Also, hilariously enough even this one is a culprit: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-many-cpu-resources-how-fix?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Firefox+consumes+a+lot+of+CPU+resources [23:25] though it's not nearly as bad as maps [23:26] which brings firefox to it's knees on my workstation (Thinkpad X1 Carbon running Ubuntu 15.10) [23:27] slidinghorn, with 5 tabs open [23:27] slidinghorn, but maps crashes my workstation even I have only one tab open and it's maps. [23:27] tag: probably Javascript and WebGL/OpenGL interface [23:27] I mean, it doesn't crash it, but it freezes it up [23:28] TJ-, That's what I was thinking, but then I disabled WebGL. [23:29] And then I disabled hardware acceleration too [23:31] I think it's some css-related feature [23:32] tag: can you reduce the reproduction of the symptoms to a using a single tab and site? [23:32] yeah, maps.google.com on a single tab. [23:33] TJ_: do u know where qemu stores snapshot xml files? [23:33] Xorg gets busy, and it makes all compiz' animations slow down [23:33] best case [23:33] worst case I have to go to the console and kill firefox. [23:34] sruli: I would have assumed the same directory as the base image, or the current working directory [23:35] tag: what GPU does the system have? [23:35] hi/salut [23:35] Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Integrated Graphics (rev 09) [23:35] tag: OK, so an Integrated on-die [23:35] Right. [23:35] It's a Thinkpad X1 [23:36] how can i tell ssh to always use a specific key file for a domain? [23:37] tag: when it happens how much CPU usuage does the firefox process, or Xorg, consume. In a terminal use "top" to view it live, and press 'i' to hide the idle processes, and press 'H' to see threads as well as processes [23:38] tag: if most of the CPU usage is in Xorg that points to a rendering issue [23:38] TJ-: neither dir, is there a way to find all files created in last 5 minutes? that might help me find the location [23:39] TJ-, It's mostly Xorg, (79% on this current, one tab experiment, 12% by firefox). [23:40] tag: right, so it looks like the rendering is at issue [23:40] TJ- Right. But it's something specific about how firefox is rendering these assets. [23:41] sruli: using temporary snapshots then, I'd expect under /tmp/. You can do "ls -l /proc/$(pidof qemu-system-x86_64)/fd/" [23:41] .

[23:42] I assume build-essential is a meta-package? what is installed as part of it? [23:42] Depends: libc6-dev | libc-dev, gcc (>= 4:4.9.1), g++ (>= 4:4.9.1), make, dpkg-dev (>= 1.17.11) [23:43] at least on my system, the exact versions may vary [23:43] tag: is this any help? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/HighCPU [23:44] well I already built gcc/g++ in my home directory, I already have make (I think ubuntu comes pre-installed with it), then the only thing left is libc-dev, libc6-dev, and dpkg-dev [23:44] physixer: see packages.ubuntu.com [23:44] I plan on building my own libc/libc6, so the only thing I need from the system is dpkg-dev [23:45] TJ-: cannot access /proc//fd: no such file or dir [23:45] k1l: I saw that but the build-essential page didn't provide much details. I gave 'dependencies' but not what are the contents of the essential-packages-list text file that is installed. [23:45] sruli: hmmm, that means qemu-system-x86_64 isn't your QEMU hypervisor. What are you using? [23:46] TJ-: i use libvirt, but i created snapshot with qemu-img [23:47] as a matter of fact I'm think can I replace libc use completely with musl [23:47] physixer: the page there shows exactly what depencies that metapackage has got [23:47] *I'm thinking [23:47] physixer: "apt-cache depends " [23:48] sruli: then the snapshot will be whatever file you gave to qemu-img [23:48] TJ-, Nope [23:48] TJ-, Not using vino or any other VNC agent [23:48] TJ-, Nothing about infinite loops in syslog [23:48] tag: I was more thinking of the diagnostic steps, specifically the last line "Running the xserver under gdb and/or strace can help identify the loop that the xserver is stuck in. " [23:49] TJ-, My chip does have a dedicated GPU...OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) HD Graphics 5500 (Broadwell GT2) [23:49] Ah [23:49] k1l: TJ-: but this doesn't help tell if the package is a metapackage. Which I 'assumed'. I'm also assuming a metapackage is one that only installs other packages but doesn't by itself provide anything necessary. [23:49] perhaps I could do that [23:51] physixer: right; I usually determine that indirectly by the 'Installed-Size" field value being very small [23:52] physixer: "Informational list of build-essential packages" it is just a metapackage, yes [23:52] how to install steam on ubu 15.10 ?

[23:58] sruli: you mentioned XML; that's a libvirt thing, so you'd need to look at the libvirt/virsh docs [23:58] TJ-: i thought qemu also uses xml, where does qemu store the snapshot ? [23:59] sruli: where'ever you created it with qemu-image
