[00:00] but I think I need to go to bed. It's late in europe... Kinda part of the problem :D === Monthrect is now known as Piper-Off [00:02] cya === intel is now known as Guest72282 [00:08] hi [00:08] is there any ecryptfs guru here? A friend came this afternoon with an encrypted hard drive which does not boot anymore [00:09] the drive is good : WHDD and smartmontools tested [00:09] the passphrase is known [00:09] we have a copy of the partition where it's encrypted with the Ubuntu 14.04 installer : no way to mount it. How can we do that? [00:11] melodie: follow these instructions to get it mounted from a live session or whatever you have: https://askubuntu.com/questions/63594/mount-encrypted-volumes-from-command-line [00:12] nicomachus I have a Ubuntu 15.04 and a file dumped using WHDD (a full file containing the full content of the hard drive : /dev/sdd2 here) === snowkidind_ is now known as snowkidind [00:15] nicomachus I tried the Luks command before, I'll try the udisksctl commands in a moment [00:15] thanks:! === Gaben is now known as uname [00:25] whats the difference between compiling kernel from source(kernel.org) and installing via repo? also any side effects on installing newest kernel? [00:26] ubuntu's kernels have tweaks on top of the kernel.org ones [00:26] yes installing from kernel.org is idiotic [00:26] !mainline [00:26] The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [00:26] unless you are having specific problems there's no reason to be chasing version numbers [00:27] Anyone going to UbuConn/Scale? I [00:27] yea, unless you have some specific need that the base kernel provides it's rarely worth the trouble [00:27] I'm thinking about it [00:28] b-yeezi: #ubuntu-offtopic thanks [00:28] thanks [00:28] OS support only in here === uname is now known as nolsen [00:28] sweet thanks [00:28] so to have latest kernel just get it from repo? [00:29] since its specifically tweaked? [00:29] guest85730: there's no real reason to have the "latest kernel" [00:30] Greetings [00:30] Er, Greetings. [00:31] hello I am trying to format an mp3 player if I do mkfs.vfat /dev/sdc1 [00:31] it tells me permission denied or if I type sudo it tells me mkfs.vfat: /dev/sdc1 contains a mounted filesystem. [00:32] guest85730, yes, just apt-get update and upgrade and you should get the latest kernel recommended for your ubuntu version. [00:32] you mean dist-upgrade? [00:33] guest85730: yes, apt-get dist-upgrade [00:33] guest85730: yes, apt-get dist-upgrade [00:33] got it [00:33] guest85730: but that will stay on the 3.13 or 13.19 kernel path you are already on. [00:33] dist-upgrade will increment your ubuntu version, i.e. from trusty to vivid. That's going to change much more than your kernel [00:33] thanks [00:35] Abe: you need to unmount it first. [00:35] sudo umount /dev/sdc1 [00:35] weird that makes no sense but thanks [00:35] it does 'cause it was automounted [00:36] still doesn't [00:37] but thank you daftykins it works I will remember next time [00:37] the error should've changed at least [00:37] ah i see [00:37] yes it's formatted now [00:37] well you can't format something that's being accessed :> [00:37] yea you'd think it should be mounted to make changes but that's not how it works. Filesystem changes need to be done when the disk is unmounted to insure no active reads or writes are going on [00:37] ok if you say it that way, then it makes much more sense [00:38] Hey guys. I hear Ubuntu has gone non-PPA? can anybody elaborate on this? [00:38] joe_dm_: no. no changes there [00:39] joe_dm_: sounds like you're being told lies :) [00:39] 15.10 [00:39] joe_dm_: except you refer to the "snappy core" but that will not be merged into the regular desktop install anytime soon [00:40] 15.10 is current desktop isnt it? [00:40] yes [00:41] I'm confused. Does anybody know what they would be referring to if they said it had gone non-PPA? [00:42] joe_dm_: no. ubuntu didnt change [00:42] no, sounds like a person speaking that doesn't know what they're saying [00:42] hmmm okay [00:42] so that is might be related to some specific software or package [00:43] k1l, i think you're right. [00:44] joe_dm_: maybe some software was included into ubuntu now and there is no ppa needed. but that is just a guess [00:44] yeah. that's exactly what it is. makes sense reading back. [00:44] it's about ZFS. must be included in 15.10 now [00:45] which in itself if pretty exciting i must say [00:45] Ok directly another question, I have an really old laptop sitting here, probably laying around here for years... there's windows xp on it, I'm a little bored and want to put lubuntu on it, thats why I needed that mp3 player for, Idk If I can boot from USB on that thing, If it doesn't let me choose USB are there ways to force it to boot up from USB? cuz I don't have a blank CD just DVD's and it doesn't have a DVD drive just CD ^^ ? === yecril71pl1 is now known as yecril71pl [00:46] Abe, If it can't boot USB then this is a bios thing... not much you can do to force it. I'd be surprised if it can't though. even XP's day could usually boot USB. [00:47] Abe, another option if you are feeling really creative is to play with PXE boot [00:48] Abe: i think an older lubuntu fits on CD still, but an XP era machine would likely have 512MB or less of RAM which i would say is a waste of time [00:51] Abe plop boot manager will help you to boot USB on machines that would not normaly be able to do it [00:51] Rave1: yes i've heard about plop linux [00:51] joe_dm_: ZFS is included in the Ubuntu kernel for 16.04 [00:52] Rave1: never used or did anything with it though [00:52] https://www.plop.at/en/bootmanagers.html [00:52] Abe: it's not "Plop linux", it's just a boot manager, but it is handy if you have old hardware that won't boot off of a USB [00:52] Abe: look at the 'plopkexec' tool especially [00:53] nicomachus: it is actually, it's a minimal Linux with the USB drivers, and the kernel's inbuilt initrd image [00:53] the problem is that Plop has to be put on a CD.... [00:53] TJ-: oh. well. TIL. [00:53] nicomachus: no, plopkexec works off Floppy, too [00:53] daftykins: I know it's a waste of time... it has 1 gb ram pentium 4 i think :D [00:53] yea but who has a floppy lying around? [00:53] sure but most machines will boot a CD I have it on floppy too for the real oldies [00:53] there's 2 versions of 'plop' plopkexec 1.3 will work from floppy; the later 2.0 needs CD [00:54] nicomachus: me! USB floppy drive [00:54] lol, you would. :P [00:54] * daftykins has a real one, with no host to put it in [00:54] anywho, bed ;) [00:54] nicomachus: the floppy image is good for writing to a CD though, for BIOSes that will emulate only a floppy on CD [00:54] hi, is there somewhere i can find out exactly what packages make up a minimal install? [00:55] nicomachus: ISO9660 boots can emulate hard-disk, floppy-disk, or be pure ISO9660/El Torito [00:56] What can I do with an Acer Aspire that seems to have something weird connected to it [00:56] Jimni: snip it off? [00:56] I'm kind of new to this site very nice to respire or 11 anos doing is rebooting itself itself [00:57] what's the "weird" connection look like? [00:57] can you take a picture? === kingplusplus_ is now known as kingplusplus [01:01] hello [01:01] morning everyone! [01:01] 早上好 [01:02] 这里可以使用中文吗 [01:02] ya kk un ????????????

[01:11] Abe: none of those appear to be USB. Is this an older laptop? [01:12] nicomachus: yes [01:12] So do I have to try this plop thing ? [01:12] yea, you'll definitely need to boot off of a CD or with a bootmanager like Plop, as mentioned earlier. plop is probably your best bet. [01:13] Ok I will find a tutorial I only have blank DVD :/ not Cd's... it wouldn't fit on a CD anyway [01:14] Abe plop exe fits on a floppy so it will certainly fit on a CD [01:14] CD drive will not even see a DVD [01:15] Rave1: well i am trying to get lubuntu on it (at least I will learn something :D ) [01:15] ABe sure why not [01:26] Hi i have a problem [01:26] sudersan_, the world is a hard place. :( [01:26] sudersan_: what's the problem? [01:27] i recently freshly installed ubuntu 15.10 verything works fine but often it logs me out automatically ,i even reinstalled the os again and yet i am facing the same problem [01:28] sudersan_, How often does it log you out - on a regular time?? === ahmed is now known as Guest13614 [01:29] hi [01:29] its random mostly when i try to intereact with the os becoz when i leave it the whole day it does not log out but when i try to interact it logs me out randomly [01:30] Is there a way to figure out which dependencies goes to which program? So I can see what to keep on apt-get autoremove and what to not. [01:32] nolsen: ' apt-cache depends ' . [01:34] need a cd for that to, so can't do it.. doesn't matter === CrazyH__ is now known as CrazyH [01:35] just put it back to it's dusty little corner [01:35] Abe: don't give up now! CDs are cheap [01:36] nicomachus: I will get a CD but not today anyway [01:36] Get a usb [01:36] Abe, can you install ubuntu from windows? [01:36] sudersan_: actually logs you out, or the screensave kicks in and you have to type a password to get back in? [01:37] xangua: he can't boot from it, needs Plop. but it can't read DVD, so he needs a CD for plop [01:37] joe_dm_: Idk can you? [01:37] Abe: joe_dm_ no [01:37] Abe, I know ubuntu desktop used to have a hybrid installer that you start from windows that lets you setup a dual boot os [01:37] joe_dm_: it's dead. and thank tux for that. [01:37] i need help [01:37] joe_dm_: I know you are talking about wubi.. but thats not a real install [01:37] Thanks tux [01:38] how can i find the password for wifi [01:38] yea... daftykins got me saying it. keeps me from using language in the channel I can't. :) [01:38] awuah, brute force [01:38] in ubuntu [01:38] Didn't wubi disappear some time ago. It was buggy as all get out, anyway. [01:38] awuah: do you not have the password for your own wifi? [01:38] Loshki: No they removed support for it a long Time ago [01:39] no [01:39] awuah, log into the access point and check in there [01:40] is huawei wifi [01:40] how can i find the password for that is there any software for that pls [01:40] let it be known that spaceX just successfully landed the falcon 9 back safely [01:40] the manufacturer doesn't help much. what's the security protocol? [01:41] awuah, do you have it cached locally? [01:41] Loshki: ?removed support? they don't support it anymore... [01:41] which is the mac address [01:41] VirtualNeal: they did. :). discussion is in #ubuntu-offtopic for that, though [01:41] is yes [01:41] i have it here [01:42] awuah, mac address won't help you much unless you're talking about hacking the password. [01:42] Abe: we're in violent agreement. Wubi is no more (and lasted longer than it should've anyway) [01:42] Loshi no not the screen saver it logs me out , it shows a black screen with 3 line of some writings then takes mw to login screen [01:42] joe_dm_: be warned, brute forcing a password is NOT supported here, and discussion of such is NOT ok here. [01:42] nicomachus, i'm trying to work out if he is trying to brute or retreive cached only. [01:42] awuah, look at this maybe http://itsfoss.com/how-to-find-saved-wireless-wifi-passwords-ubuntu/ [01:43] sudersan_: any idea what the 3 lines say. Also, is there anything in the logs when it happens? [01:44] joe dm how can i hacking [01:44] sudersan_: Also, anything special about your distro/version that you haven't mentioned yet? [01:44] the wifi [01:44] pls [01:44] what? [01:44] awuah, wrong channel for that, and offtopic here. [01:45] awuah, like nicomachus said, we can't talk about that here. if you ahve the password cached you can get it back from your local PC. if you don't know the password, never knew the password and can't access the router locally... then we can't help [01:45] just hard reset your router and re-set it up. [01:45] how can i get my wifi password [01:45] Loshki: Yeah I used Wubi years ago when I've first heard of Ubuntu and tried it out... but didn't use Ubuntu for a couple more years until I made it my main Os. [01:45] awuah, ask the wifi owner [01:45] is word is modem [01:45] awuah, take a network cable. connect to the router physically and then go onto the web UI of the router. from there you can get the password. [01:45] you can reset it pls [01:46] awuah, either way, this isn't an Ubuntu question. [01:46] awuah: try ##networking [01:46] i dont know what they say i forgot , the distro version is ubuntu 15.10 , the error was something like xorg core seems to crash i am newbie :( [01:46] awuah: look under you router ? [01:46] awuah, if you PM I can help talk you through connecting to the router if you have physical access to it. [01:46] awuah: call your ISP ?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [01:48] sudersan_: An xorg crash would do it. Consider trying 14.04 instead. It's an LTS and thus likely to be more stable, and will be better for a newbie all around. [01:49] sudersan_: did this machine ever work properly? An overnight memtest might also be worth running. [01:50] i have used 14.4 15.04 , never faced that problem but i would like to stay with the latest version ,it does work properly i even ran it th whole night yesterday for updating no problem at all [01:52] ok its just now logged meout againwhile watching video in vlc :( [01:55] So I have a library `libxyz.so`, but when I link to it using `gcc file.c -lxyz -o a.out` and run `./a.out`, I get the error `./a.out: error while loading shared libraries: libxyz.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory` [01:56] So why does the system expect `libxyz.so.0` when I tried to link it against `libxyz.so`?

I think my Ubunto 15.10 have set the ‘ Highlight the pointer when you press Ctrl ‘... But I could not find where to close the option.. Any help? [02:05] blugingress: in the Virtualbox options at the top, there should be "Devices", and then shared mouse/keyboard options. mess with those. Beyond that, ask the folks in #vbox [02:06] nicomachus, I am checking [02:14] + [02:18] nicomachus, It dose not solved the problem. The master_host system capture the CTRL key and does not pass to the guest box... [02:19] blugingress: interesting. what's the host OS and guest OS? [02:20] nicomachus, Now I need to find the option of mouse ‘ Highlight the pointer when you press Ctrl ‘.... these is where CTRL event lost.. [02:20] blugingress: try asking in #vbox, it's not really supported here. [02:20] hi [02:21] nicomachus, the host system is Ubuntu 15.10, There are serveral guest running on Virtual box: gentoo, Kali, Windows8, etc... [02:21] nicomachus, All guest host can not get the CTRL key evetn. [02:21] blugingress: sounds like a virtualbox issue. ask the guys in #vbox... [02:22] blugingress: qemu clearly better :P [02:22] t see ubuntu store on ubuntu matte [02:22] nicomachus, No, this is not the Virtual box issue. It is the CTRL event NOT pass to VirtualBOx [02:23] blugingress: because the virtualbox settings are not correct. [02:23] I wand download a wine and I do not see ubuntu store on ubuntu matte [02:23] sudo apt-get install wine [02:23] nicomachus, All the virtual box guest working well ... I dont touch anything to VirtualBOX [02:24] blugingress: regardless, it's a problem of virtualbox not accepting the CTRL event. this is not handled by the Host OS, it is handled by Virtualbox. [02:24] thanks [02:24] nicomachus, Since I touch some Keysetting in Ubuntu. [02:25] mattliladell: you can also install software center with "sudo apt-get install software-center" [02:25] blugingress: I'm not sure, I'm sorry. My only experience with virtualbox is with Windows as Host. Perhaps someone else can help you. [02:25] Now I just need to find out where can i toggle the option of "Highlight the pointer when you press Ctrl" [02:26] nicomachus, OK [02:26] That is why I ask help in Ubuntu. [02:27] In the Ubuntu system setting of Ubuntu, there is no such setting. weird....

[03:52] SebastianTCL: whatever triggers your BIOS to boot from a different source - ESC maybe? [03:52] SebastianTCL: you need to select the boot order from your BIOS [03:52] into what order nicomachus? [03:52] i dont want to mess things up [03:52] TJ-: what do you mean in partitions ? [03:54] vmusr: well, if you have /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, GPT partition them identically with say sda1 for 'BIOS Boot' sda2 sda3 ..., sdb1 for 'BIOS boot', sdb2 sdb3 ... [03:54] vmusr: then create your RAID devices on sda2+sdb2, sda3+sdb3, etc [03:55] vmusr: then install grub manually to /dev/sda and /dev/sdb - it'll use those 'BIOS boot' partitions for its core image [03:59] TJ-: okay havent tried that one so far, i guess by default the installer uses mbr [04:01] vmusr: it may do, I think it sometimes depends on the disk size, but not too sure. different release versions do different things. The key thing for a mirror is that GRUB cannot write to them, so for its purpose you need to treat the disks as 2 independents - whichever the BIOS chooses to boot from, it'll then work [04:02] SebastianTCL: you just want to set it to boot from the CD [04:03] so boot from live cd is first and then what s second [04:03] SebastianTCL: HDD [04:08] boot into a live session, test if everything works (you may install things in a ramdisk without changes to hdd), if it suits your needs you may invoke the installer and write it on hdd, then reboot SebastianTCL [04:08] de-facto: he's already installed... he's just trying to boot the live session again [04:09] I'm a little confused. I just plugged in an extra drive, did a DF to see what it was called, and I have all this extra stuff. What is it?

Do you want a full explanation? [04:09] it says: "Enter file in which to save the key (/demo/.ssh/id_rsa):" [04:10] de-facto, I have already installed ubuntu [04:10] ok [04:10] I just need to get it to read live cds again [04:11] somsip: hm... I guess not. What's udev? [04:11] normally you can press a key to get into your bios/uefi boot menu for choice from where to boot [04:11] janesmith: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udev [04:12] somsip: sorry, I should have googled that myself. In fact, that's what I was doing. I guess my question is this. Why are all these things appearing as drives, when they seem to be some kind of utilities / services? [04:12] somsip: actually [04:13] who cares. Better question. [04:13] IIRC, /dev/sdax are actual drives. [04:13] I just had a bunch of keys appear in my seahorse list. [04:13] Anyone know what might cause that? === de-facto_ is now known as de-facto [04:14] /dev/sda1 has a root directory /EFI and then EFI/ubuntu. Other that what's in ubuntu it seems empty. So that sounds like a failed installation or something, right? [04:14] janesmith: If it is your drives you want to identify try terminal commands ' sudo fdisk -lu ; sudo parted -l ' . [04:14] janesmith: everything in linux looks like a file [04:15] janesmith: no idea about the /EFI question myself [04:19] somsip: ok thanks [04:20] janesmith, if you like GUI's and have Xorg running you might want to look at gparted, but be carefull its very powerfull [04:20] Bashing-om: thanks, I incorrectly thought that df would also show me unmounted drives. Found it now, thanks to your suggestion. [04:21] hey guyz i having an error [04:21] when i ran sudo apt-get upgrade [04:21] what's the error? [04:21] samsruti: on one line please...

[04:33] but also you can delete that cairo-dock ppa, because it's part of the universe packages now. [04:33] let me check [04:35] de-facto: I'm sorry, you were right. [04:35] neither of those exists.

I also have to enable a config option (via "make menuconfig"). I tried "fakeroot debian/rules editconfigs" as mentioned at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel. However "editconfigs" command fails with the msg ... "*** ERROR: 12 config-check failures detected" [08:41] any suggestions on how to overcome the above? [08:45] Under try ubuntu how do I install things for OS installed on local drive ? [08:46] anyone ? [08:46] i dunno man [08:46] i just use usb or optical disk [08:47] what ?

[09:02] can you use github or git? [09:02] oh [09:02] i don't know if that possible [09:02] you mean like applications right? [09:02] is how to save the session [09:03] Would people be interested in a 4k on Ubuntu Guide? I'm kinda a newbie trying to setup my dual monitor setup for web dev/design. Main dekstop is 4k secondary is 1200p. [09:03] but in file this is possible? [09:03] Morrwin: it easy [09:03] Morrwin: just do it with xrandr [09:03] Does it do apps as well? [09:03] yeah if you set it up right [09:03] Like I'm having issues with scaling Photoshop CS6 on Wine for 4k [09:03] found some guide to add a .manifest so it scales the app [09:04] xrandr --output VGA1 --auto --right-of LVDS1 [09:04] replace vga with 4k [09:04] lvds with main mointor [09:04] hm [09:04] does it work on ubuntu unity? [09:04] yes [09:04] It's just that line or is it a guide to set it up? [09:05] I've set up display scale in unity to 1.5x so far and it's good [09:05] i can show you how i do mine [09:05] on my laptop is that okay? [09:05] xrandr --output HDMI-0 --auto --right-of eDP [09:05] this is my config for it [09:06] it'll be something similar [09:06] hm [09:06] I've got main display 4k on display port, second monitor 1200p on dvi [09:06] so you would do [09:07] 4k in replace of HDMI-o then dvi on left or right depending on setup [09:07] dvi is on the right [09:07] so yeah [09:07] is it possible save the session ubuntu unity in file and then load it? [09:08] yeah tmux [09:08] xcelq, so what should the xrandr command look like? [09:08] 4k left display port, 1200p right dvi [09:08] Morrwin: what are you using for 4k? like hdmi or what ever [09:08] display port [09:09] "DisplayPort-0 connected primary 3840x2160+0+0" shows in xrandr [09:09] yeah so it should be [09:09] auronandace: it's just a shop-bought dvd, that's not something they usually supply [09:10] xrandr --output DisplayPort-o --auto left of DVI-0 [09:10] i think? [09:10] xrandr --output DisplayPort-0 --auto left of DVI-0 [09:10] I have one disc in a set that plays with corrupted video, and I'm trying to figure out if the disc is damaged or it's a software thing (it works on a dvd player, but not via any playback software on this machine) [09:12] is there a way to have all usb's unmounted when my system locks? [09:12] but I don't get it what does xrandr do? [09:12] isn't the same as unity displays? [09:12] yeah either works [09:13] I mean I've set the 4k resolution and scaling in unity but it doesn't scale some apps [09:13] detly: try extracting the video with MakeMKV. It is the only thing i have found which can read video on all (functioning) commercial DVDs. Unfortunately, it isn't open source [09:13] oh um [09:13] that's the issue I'm having [09:13] 4k isn't perfect yet [09:13] it kind of [09:13] niche i guess? [09:13] I somehow need to hack the Photoshop CS6 in Wine to scale the UI [09:13] :) [09:13] see if you used gimp im sure it would work better :P [09:14] Yeah I know just that I'm used to Phtoshop :( [09:14] detly: there isn't a DVD player soltion on Linux which will play all DVDs, as far as I am aware [09:14] mcphail: you could probably rip it to the computer [09:14] Btw while we are on the subject, should I use Wine to emulate Adobe software or use a WM? [09:14] xcelq: that's what I suggested to detly. [09:15] mcphail: yeah, it's just odd because it's this one dvd in a set (hence why I suspect it's faulty) [09:15] Morrwin: i would use wm personally [09:15] I tried ripping an episode to see if that would work, but it's the same result: corrupted video from this one disc [09:15] xcelq, I got lots of ram like 24GB and can add a seperate r9 280x card [09:15] detly: did you try MakeMKV? [09:15] Morrwin: yeah i'd do qemu it can emaulate hardware [09:16] Is it different than VirtualBox? [09:16] yes [09:16] it has kvm [09:16] unless your machine is older [09:16] detly: honestly, it is the only thing out there which works with a subset of discs. Even ddrescue can't handle all the intentional corruption on commercial discs [09:16] mcphail: I haven't, but I'll give it a shot [09:17] cheers [09:17] xcelq, kvm as in virtualize? Cpu can handle virtualization is an i7 2600k [09:17] im sure it could work Morrwin kvm means = hardware virtualzation [09:17] detly: usual caveats apply with non-open-source software. I recommend you run it in a disposable install, if you're paranoid like me. But the makers have a good reputation [09:17] it what you use if you have a obsecure os you can't use on real hardware [09:18] in your case you want to run windows without actually running it [09:18] so it works [09:19] But can't I use VirtualBox and just set up the second gpu for Windows? [09:19] if you have the money to kill sure [09:19] In case they need gpu acceleration [09:19] I've got two r9 280x, but haven't used crossfire for gaming in a long time because there is barely any good support for it [09:20] I notice a strange bug but I am not sure its a bug so in Files (nautilus) you can mount remote sftp connection which works fine but when I right click a file and choose open with gedit its blank and says "sftp" on the top [09:20] I also tried to open with other programs with the same results [09:21] mousepad, sublime_text etc [09:29] just did a rm -rf ~/.config/mimeapps.list that fixed glitches in the open with list [09:29] but not solved my issue [09:35] is there source code avail for nautilus?

[09:43] retrojeff: apt-get source nautilus [09:43] ok does that install it to /usr/src/XXXXX ? [09:44] retrojeff: no it downloads it to your /home [09:44] its hard to say that nautilus is at fault here because I get the same issue with thunar [09:45] so maybe its much deeper problem [09:45] and besides I like thunar more now nautilus looks like crap now === toto is now known as Guest76796 === michael__ is now known as Guest9785 [09:48] retrojeff: have you tried pcmanfm?

[13:00] Hello, I've installed freshplayerplugin with a ppa but I had to remove the ppa because it will update other packages, so how could I update automatically freshplayerplugin?

[13:05] ioria: I removed the ppa [13:06] CravateRouge, usually is better purge than a simple remove [13:06] ioria: You can purge a ppa? [13:06] CravateRouge, btw, whick browser ?

Google Chrome , or using FF with old (11) flashplugin player [13:08] ubottu: Thanks too [13:08] *chromium [13:09] ioria: so you don't use flash with firefox? [13:09] ioria: the old flashplugin contain many bug [13:09] CravateRouge, i'd say , yes .... and it's working ... but you could need an updated version to see a clip ... and in that scenario the plugin won't work [13:11] ioria: freshpayerplugin works better than flashplugin player on my computer [13:11] CravateRouge, there are wrappers, that takes pepper from Chome and adapts for FF.... but not well tested.... finally you can explre HTLM5 [13:12] CravateRouge, oh, really ? [13:12] ioria: i love HTML5 but many plateforms don't allow this technology [13:12] CravateRouge, freshplugin is working everywhere ? [13:13] hello, pls how do I set the environment variable so it can be available globally? [13:13] ioria: yeah, the mouse pointer disappear in full screen and the computer don't sleep with the full screen! [13:13] i using pycharm but using either virtual environment, my local account even on root, seems not to find the value of the environment variables, [13:14] CravateRouge, so go on using fresh .... [13:16] freshplugin uses the 20 version of flash player, if you know how i could fix the bug of the mouse pointer and the bug of suspending during fullscreen i go back immediatly on the 11 version [13:16] ioria: freshplugin uses the 20 version of flash player, if you know how i could fix the bug of the mouse pointer and the bug of suspending during fullscreen i go back immediatly on the 11 version [13:17] CravateRouge, :-] [13:18] CravateRouge, have you tried Google Chrome or chromium ? [13:18] ioria: sure for Netlix ^^ [13:18] Netflix* [13:19] CravateRouge, sorry, if fresh is working, why did you remove it ? [13:20] CravateRouge, updadint other stuff ? [13:20] *updating [13:20] any insisght? [13:21] afidegnum: can this help? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables [13:21] ok [13:22] ioria: because you said it isn't working very well and maybe it's true, I 'm testing the package since 4 hours only [13:22] CravateRouge, yes... it's testing [13:23] ioria: what do you mean? Other stuff outside officials ppa? [13:23] CravateRouge, " but I had to remove the ppa because it will update other packages" ^ you said [13:24] ioria: oh yeah so i removed the ppa before the disaster! [13:24] CravateRouge, ok [13:26] So, I installed wine 1.6, and seem to be having issues with the intalled program. Someone said I'd better use wine 1.8rc4. My guess is I'm going to have to uninstall the current wine, and then install the newest? And also redo the installation of the program I'm running on wine. Am I correct? [13:26] CravateRouge, well now they say that Fresh " is now considered stable enough for general use." , but not in my experience [13:27] CravateRouge, so i'll go for chomium [13:28] I didn't know that, i follow the ubuntu-fr guide on flash who said to use freshpluginplayer because it was better for firefox [13:28] aotea: is 1.8 in the default repos? If not, it wouldn't be supported here, I'm afraid. Generally you don't have to reinstall a program when you upgrade wine [13:28] ioria: I didn't know that, i follow the ubuntu-fr guide on flash who said to use freshpluginplayer because it was better for firefox [13:29] CravateRouge, could be.... but it's always a ppa (so external to the ubuntu repos) and we can't know what will do in your system [13:30] ioria: you don't use ppa? [13:30] CravateRouge, no [13:30] CravateRouge, bu other people do [13:30] CravateRouge, with no issues [13:31] mcphail, I don't know if it is, I added a ppa for the wine install eitherway so I guess not? [13:31] ioria: i didn't know it was so dangerous [13:32] aotea: Unfortunately, we can't support the PPA here. When I used to use it, you could install different versions side-by-side and call them with "wine1.5", "wine1.6" etc, but don't know if that is still the case [13:32] CravateRouge, dangerous is a big word ... but they can cause troubles . you can try Chromium with adobe-flasplugin , enabling Canonical Partner repo . http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/04/install-adobe-flash-in-ubuntu-14-04-lts/ [13:33] aotea: I've moved to using playonlinux now, and let that organise things [13:33] mcphail, ok thanks, I'll try poke around and see if I can find some more Wine centered channel [13:33] ioria: I used chromium before but i prefer FF :) [13:33] !wine | aotea [13:33] aotea: 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 [13:34] aotea: looks like #winehq will be your best bet [13:34] Thanks! [13:34] CravateRouge, me too ... and if don't need particular features you can use the default flashplugin-installer [13:35] *you [13:35] ioria: i will but how do you fix the mouse pointer bug and the sreen saver bug with the fullscreen? [13:36] CravateRouge, maybe you can temporary disable lightlocker [13:37] aotea: there's also a very active #gamingonlinux channel [13:37] ioria: Don't you have the same bug? [13:38] CravateRouge, apparently not... but i don't use flash every day [13:39] ioria: ok, thanks a lot for your help! [13:41] CravateRouge, you're welcome .... if you use it very much so maybe Chrome is better [13:42] ioria: i think you're right, unfortunately :'( [13:43] CravateRouge, maybe if future we'll have some improvements .... [13:43] *in [13:44] ioria: i hope [13:44] CravateRouge, *_* === Acilim_A is now known as Acilim [13:52] I want to remember someone telling me adding PPAs are bad :P seeing how hard they are getting rid of. But why is it then almost everything one installs require a new PPA? [13:53] aotea, nothing REQUIRES a ppa ... === dragon is now known as Guest73512 [13:55] aotea: because most from-windows-switchers are still used to "i need the latest version asap!" [13:56] aotea: but on ubuntu, the packages get bug-fix and security-fix backports. so the version number is not increased. [13:59] one more question: [14:00] I have here 14.04.03LTS, I enabled https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack ... do anyone have an experience with it, does it work or is it bummer like the most of the other things around ubuntu, going to do: apt-get install xserver-xorg-core-lts-vivid xserver-xorg-lts-vivid xserver-xorg-video-all-lts-vivid xserver-xorg-input-all-lts-vivid libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-vivid libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-vivid libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-vivid:i386 li [14:01] at least, in 14.04.03 is by default (iirc) Xorg and this wants to bring wayland [14:02] ntz: its used on several thousand machines. dont know why it should be "bummer" [14:02] ntz: and this will not force you to use wayland instead of xorg.

[15:01] yes [15:01] hello [15:02] ad4my: maybe the #ubuntu-mirrors have known issues on repos? [15:02] so, anyway, yesterday, someone in #ubuntu+1 assisted me in booting under Live-CD, mounting my HDD, and chrooting to it. I am unable to duplicate that today [15:02] i disabled ipv6 and noticed big improvement, but cant figure out why [15:02] so ubuntu is going out of business, huh? i hear they are shutting down the software center and finally removing the spyware. guess without amazon's money they are finished!

[15:07] so you don't know you just see the results [15:07] groblei not that discussion again... take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [15:07] but finally disabled in 16.04 [15:08] MonkeyDust, yes yes... any discussion of the truth about Ubuntu's sleezy business practices is somehow off-topic. don't you think these new users have a right to know? [15:08] groblei: stop that FUD. [15:09] is it update-grub2 command that I have to call after editing etc/default/grub ? [15:09] k1l, FUD would imply I am saying something that is not true. that is not the case. [15:09] hello again, MonkeyDustgroblei: I don't think this qulifies as as "sleazy business practices," afterall, ubuntu is not chargiong you anythinig for their product [15:09] also one more point .... ubuntu here doesn't show during the boot after pressing esc a dev/tty1 console log, just black screen [15:09] hi, k1| [15:11] *sigh* I spent 9.5 hours yesterday on #ubuntu+1, and they were very helpful.

[15:24] curlyears: we need a clean ubuntu. not one you already messed with wrong commands. so better reboot. [15:25] never mind, I just noted something: the 500GB drive is showing in the OS bar on the left of the screen [15:26] curlyears: that is what we told you several hours already. you need to stop messing with wrong commands and using the automated magic ubuntu brings you already. [15:26] how do I fins the dir name for those drives? they're listed as stuff like 3TB Drive, etc [15:26] \Volume, not Drive [15:29] k1|: I was attempting to reexecute the commands TJ- walked me through yesterday, but rather badly, apparently [15:30] Hey, I have a problem with a 14.04 LTS server.

I doesn't really indicate anything [15:31] for some nicks, the list is so long, it takes longer to tab complete than ity does to just type out the nick in quhestion [15:32] curlyears: if you are going to type it out then you need to get it right === clide is now known as kurtis [15:32] auronandace: how am I getting it wrong?

[15:35] nicomachus: sure thing, I'll upload to a paste [15:35] ntz: how long does it hang? [15:36] nicomachus: no, that's why I've added ``apt-cache policy'' [15:36] curlyears: they usually appear under /media [15:36] curlyears: i strongly suggest you stop that path.

[18:37] ioria: no,\ syslog was not updated [18:38] ioria: I've tried to delete dmesg and syskog [18:38] ioria, it's fine now, thank you so much for your time and help [18:38] After o entered acpi=off, there is $vt_handoff following it. Is it correct? [18:38] Shady, glad to hear that... have fun :þ [18:38] ioria: then , I've restarted the sydtem, and syslog has been re-genrerated [18:39] cristian_c, yes, but empty ? [18:39] ioria: the new regeenerated syslog is also updaged, so about that. solved issue [18:39] ioria: no, it's updated [18:39] Hello, I am desperate already. Using Ubuntu 12.04, well since 4 days I can't use it. Due the last update I lost Grub2. I used Boot-repair but had not worked. I used it several times. Today I re-installed Ubuntu 12.04, hoping that it will fix the problem, but no. So I run again Boot-Repair. The information is: Boot repaired with success but when I re-start I get black screen. I can't understand this. If I re-installed. Please, ca [18:39] cristian_c, good job [18:40] my /var/log/syslog/ is chown'd by syslog:syslog. I've added myself to the syslog group and the permissions for group is +r. Why am I getting permission denied when i try to cd /var/log/syslog? [18:40] ioria: unfortunately, dmesg has not been re-created too [18:40] ioria: so, now there are no dmesg in /var/log :( [18:41] cristian_c, ls -l /var/log [18:41] ioria: Looking better, back to 4k resolution [18:42] Rubiksmomo, good... test it with something heavy .... a game , an hd movie [18:42] ioria: I can try, but could it be useful and why? [18:42] Yeah, just launch Ryzom game [18:42] Rubiksmomo, ^_^ [18:42] cristian_c, to check the permissions [18:43] ioria: ok but do you mean directory permissions? [18:43] ioria: btw. I try to type that command [18:43] :) [18:44] nicomachus: I just booted it. Ubuntu logo splashed and then blank. [18:44] cristian_c, /var/log contains folders and files .... [18:45] cristian_c, maybe paste it, if you want [18:45] ioria: ok [18:46] nicomachus: Nope. I rebooted it and it looks the same [18:46] ioria: OK, Ryzom seems to run relatively smoothly as usual. Thank you so much! Wasn't that hard afterall, but all those conflicting advices in the web got me really confused. [18:47] AndChat607476: ok, well to do anything else you will need a live CD or USB. [18:47] I installed Ubuntu 15.10 desktop on a laptop, but can not get drivers to work. Additional Drivers find my Broadcom BCM43142 chip and says it is using it, but that the device is not working. I have updated upraded and rebooted with wired net. [18:47] Rubiksmomo, happy for you. you're welcome [18:47] So, I kept booting to a black screen, finally managed to find how to get into Grub and found I had the options to either boot into Ubuntu Linux 4.2.0-22-generic or 4.2.0-16-generic, apparently the latter one works, what gives? And why do I have these two options? === ubik_ is now known as Guest82024 [18:47] =) \o/ [18:47] Platypus2k: I would recommend downgrading to 14.04 [18:48] or using a live disc to confirm working drivers. [18:48] quit [18:48] aotea: those are two different kernels. sometimes a newer kernel doesn't agree with hardware. [18:48] veronicab: forgot the "/" ? [18:48] ? [18:49] dvd rom is jammed on it. and no USB drives handy. can I get 14.04 from the net? [18:49] quit / [18:49] Platypus2k: you will need a USB or DVD to install it [18:49] well [18:49] veronicab: /quit [18:49] ah, thanks [18:50] ok, thanks for the info [18:50] nicomachus: okay. I'll find a live DVD some how. [18:50] heh [18:50] Platypus2k: but you may not need to. what's the driver issue? [18:50] nicomachus: Thanks a lot for your help, man! [18:51] Platypus2k: is this a wifi driver? [18:51] yes [18:51] nicomachus: how can I see whether I just added the 'newer' kernel, I guess I need to set the older kernel then as default boot in Grub? [18:51] aotea: yes, or you can try booting the newer kernel with nomodeset [18:51] !nomodeset | aotea [18:51] aotea: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [18:52] Platypus2k: can you paste the output of 'sudo lshw -C network' to a pastebin and link here? [18:52] nicomachus: BTW, all I want is the data on my hard drive to be safe. Is there anyway we can detach the hard disk apart and read the files using a hard disk BAY? [18:53] AndChat607476: yes, so long as you have another system that can read them. [18:54] AndChat607476: there appears to be a simple fix, but you just need a live USB/CD to boot into to do it. [18:54] paste.ubuntu.com/14141858/ [18:55] nicomachus: I just borrowed a Linux mint live DVD from muh friend. But, it's taking longer time to boot than usual. [18:55] Platypus2k: ' sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source ' [18:56] AndChat607476: You might want to try a live disc boot from USB. [18:56] debug0x1: it really doesn't matter all that much, as long as it'll boot. [18:57] debug0x1: no use. It returns back to the Ubuntu logo. [18:57] What version? [18:58] AndChat607476: when you boot, hit "shift" or "esc" from the POST screen so you can tell your BIOS to boot from CD [18:58] nicomachus: it worked, many thanks! :D [18:58] Platypus2k: \o/ yay [18:59] nicomachus: hard press or press multiple times? [19:00] AndChat607476: I usually just keep hitting the key until it works... but the key may be different for your machine. I will (briefly) say. may take a try or two. [19:00] s/I will/it will/ [19:01] anyone familiar with repackaging proprietary binary debs would like to comment on what's the common way of dealing with two issues: [19:02] 1) Default install target - /opt/* 2) Included ancient libraries of libudev, etc.? [19:02] nicomachus: maaan! My laptop is 5 years old. I replaced my DVD case 6 months back. I think it is fucked up by now, since the warranty period is 3 months. I'll try USB boot. [19:02] AndChat607476 avoid the f word [19:04] MonkeyDust: Cool. Will do. [19:05] nicomachus: it worked! Thanks a lot.

[19:12] nicomachus: nvidia gt 555m [19:12] aotea: and which driver? the nouveau or one of the proprietary options? === ochorocho1 is now known as ochorocho [19:13] Think proprietary, not sure, how do I check?

[19:15] Freedom [19:15] Geometer: TONS. ask in #ubuntu-offtopic and they'll be happy to tell you. [19:15] nicomachus: thanks [19:17] nicomachus: "Nvidia binary drivers - version 352.63 from nvidia-352" so I guess no, not using the nouveau from X.org [19:18] Hi, apport-bug is logging a bug to launchpad for me. The bug gets logged OK, but 5 minutes later it gets closed as a useful symbolic stack trace can't be generated. [19:18] aotea: ok, you may try using the nouveau or the 346 if it's listed... that may resolve the issue. [19:19] The message suggests that two packages are missing debug symbols; libevdev2 & nvidia-352 [19:20] how do I install the debug symbols for those two packages?

[20:57] uhm [20:57] Hello there I am making a lib that exposes Qt/Qml to zlib and was wondering if someone can be so kind as to look and see where it is (lz.so) is installed via i386 [20:58] maybe /usr/lib/x86_386/ not sure how that works via Ubuntu [20:58] ioria: I understand [20:58] :) [20:58] I know that on my 64 bit machine it is /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ [20:59] cristian_c, oh, well... in any case you'll have to upgrade .... :þ [21:00] does anyone here know how to check which DNS server dnsmasq using for a query when you're over a VPN? [21:00] i'm fairly certain that I'm using the ISP's DNS, but I need to make sure. [21:00] Pwnna: you can check if NetworkManager told dnsmasq new nameservers by looking in /var/log/syslog [21:01] TJ-: before and after i connect? I'll give it a shot [21:01] NVM looks like it goes to /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ [21:01] does anyone know how to force dnsmasq to only use the VPN DNS? I thought I did this via push dhcp-option dns on the server but evidently not? [21:02] mJimmer: you know what package contains the file? http://packages.ubuntu.com/ can check the file listings there if you can find the package that has it [21:02] Pwnna: "grep 'dnsmasq.& using nameserver' /var/log/syslog " [21:03] Pwnna: typo, * not & [21:03] TJ-: it looks like it is using both (https://pastebin.mozilla.org/8855113 -- 208 is pushed by VPN) [21:03] and the 10.0.0.1 is local [21:03] wafflejock: you can also check what packages contain a file on that site [21:04] TJ-: so if it using both... is there any way to show a particular query? [21:04] tgm4883: ah never scrolled down :) thanks for the tip [21:04] wafflejock: thanks it is just so make can find libzlib maybe pckconfig would be even better to use not sure [21:04] Pwnna: if NM is managing the connection I think there's an option to replace which can be set in the connection config, but I believe it has to be manually added to the text file with the config in. [21:04] TJ-: like the openvpn client conf file? [21:04] man this has been a huge security lapse... [21:04] IIRC there is an openvpn option to force all traffic over the VPN [21:05] i thought so too [21:05] on my server config i have [21:05] push "redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp" [21:05] push "dhcp-option DNS 208.67.222.222" [21:05] push "dhcp-option DNS 208.67.220.220" [21:06] Pwnna: "man 5 NetworkManager.conf", see the 'dns' section, 'dnsmasq' sub-paragraph, and 'split-config' for VPNs; that should help figure it out [21:06] cool. thanks for the help. i'll give it a shot [21:07] Pwnna: I think there's still some work to do figuring it out, but I've seen that scenario described on the NM-devel mailing list [21:08] the scenario where you only want to go over VPN? [21:08] TJ-: just to check if i understand this correctly.. "and then update resolv.conf to point to the local" < that means by default DNS goes to local? === dred is now known as Guest2376 === cristiano is now known as Guest33311 [21:11] Pwnna: that means resolv.conf is configured to use the service provided by NM's private instance of dnsmasq - in orther words: "echo 'nameserver 127.0.1.1' /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf " (which is symlinked to "ln -s ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf" [21:13] federica 14 anni [21:13] i am italian girl [21:13] !ot | ALFA [21:13] ALFA: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[21:18] Jan\: No big deal. :) [21:18] lost connection for a minute.. [21:18] TJ-: so that paragraph doesn't really say which DNS server dnsmasq forwards to for a particular query oter than that it sometimes may be vpn and sometimes may be local? [21:18] How to check what DNS servers am I using? [21:18] can't figure out ssh.. tried ssh user@domain.com:50022 and ssh user@domain.com -p 50022, but neither works.. I know the domain part and port forward works, because I can ssh from my tablet [21:18] (My DNS servers are down and I need to know if its google or my ISP) [21:19] or is it like.. DNS goes to ISP/local first because it is faster and then go to VPN if local returns nothing and VPN DNS returns soomething [21:19] nolsen: click on the network icon then connection information [21:19] tgm4883: I'm not on unity desktop. [21:19] oh wait [21:20] nolsen: well that's kinda important info, however it should be the same in most if not all ubuntu distros [21:21] is there a way to turn this behaviour off and just force everything to VPN's DNS without resorting to commenting out dns=dnsmasq in NetworkManager.conf? [21:21] because i don't manage other people's machines and this will create a security risk for them [21:22] hi [21:23] hi [21:23] Pwnna: as I say I'm not sure but I know it is possible to configure it so that the VPN nameserver replaces any existing nameserver dnsmasq is using [21:24] Pwnna: it's also possible to configure dnsmasq to only query specific nameservers based on the domain [21:25] hi nolsen [21:25] Hi.

[21:32] :-((( [21:34] sorry genii [21:36] <[dk00]> Hi [21:36] hi [dk00] [21:36] hows it hangin [21:37] <[dk00]> So if I use an Ubuntu server, can the host (AWS) see its contents or its data traffic? [21:38] <[dk00]> Or the contents of its data traffic? [21:38] <[dk00]> Or do I need to encrypt that somehow [21:38] <[dk00]> I am super noob btw [21:39] the one who got physical access to that machine can always see what is on the machine, except when its encrypted. [21:39] <[dk00]> It's a fresh ubu server install [21:39] and even if it is encrypted on disk, if you're using it in memory, or if the key is in memory, you're still hosed. [21:40] so yes, AWS would be able to see the contents of an AWS container. [21:40] <[dk00]> Is it encrypted? [21:40] <[dk00]> Can I prevent that rww [21:40] and as you already got told in #freenode, "by using a third-party service, you HAVE to trust them. the solution to that is to not use a third-party service" [21:40] [dk00]: the question that you need to decide is: who can you trust not to look into your stuff. [21:41] if you dont trust AWS, then encrypt or use a different hoster or host yourself. [21:42] Hi, I can't see my usb in file manager [21:42] in dmesg I see "[ 42.185119] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk", but I can't see it in file manager [21:43] can someone help me with this pls? [21:43] is it possible to use rsyslog to forward logs that were forwarded to it from another box? [21:43] i.e. double forward? [21:43] <[dk00]> So if I encrypt the server then aws can't see it? [21:43] <[dk00]> The contents [21:44] 21:39 < rww> and even if it is encrypted on disk, if you're using it in memory, or if the key is in memory, you're still hosed. [21:44] [dk00]: theoretically they still could pull the key out of memory, if they wanted to badly enough. [21:45] <[dk00]> Can that be prevented? [21:45] [dk00], no. [21:45] [dk00]: since you seem to have super suspicious data, dont host them anywhere else than on your own machine. [21:45] yea, you could not use AWS or host yourself. [21:45] for the nth time, if you're using a third-party system, you have to trust that party. if you don't like that, host it yourself [21:46] <[dk00]> I'm trying to be a secure as possible while hosting it there [21:46] [dk00]: that doesnt match [21:46] <[dk00]> Max security at aws [21:46] <[dk00]> Sure it does [21:46] what's your threat model here? who are you needing to protect this container against? === beastee is now known as concealdontfeel [21:46] <[dk00]> No one specifically [21:47] <[dk00]> So u said I can encrypt the disk tho? [21:47] yay masturbatory security :| [21:47] <[dk00]> Which would make it harder [21:47] <[dk00]> But not impossible [21:47] not touching this... way too sketchy. [21:47] <[dk00]> Sketchy? [21:47] <[dk00]> Lol [21:48] <[dk00]> Thanks for judging [21:48] <[dk00]> What else can be encrypted [21:48] <[dk00]> Just the disk? [21:48] [dk00]: you're either unnecessarily concerned about AWS getting into your business, or you're concerned because the contents of the AWS server are something that AWS wouldn't want on their servers. so, yes. sketchy. [21:49] <[dk00]> Or I just take security seriously [21:49] <[dk00]> So stop being an ass [21:49] then don't host on a third party server. [21:49] <[dk00]> Did I ask you where to hos [21:49] <[dk00]> host [21:49] [dk00]: try ##security. [21:49] aws is super expensive anyhow [21:50] <[dk00]> They have a free tier [21:50] [dk00]: as a user who is already annoying with asking the same question that was already answered 10 times i would not start to call other names. [21:50] I'm noting that this seems to have been triggered by [dk00] realizing IRCCloud can read his IRC traffic. It's unlikely he's hosting anything important on AWS. [21:50] or sketchy, for that matter [21:50] <[dk00]> I am not [21:50] It is, however, a complete waste of time, since Amazon doesn't care about his IRC traffic. [21:51] <[dk00]> But disk encryption sounds like something that could be useful [21:52] disk ecnryption only protects when the server is powered down [21:52] <[dk00]> No such thing as memory encryption? [21:53] Where would the key be kept if the memory was encrypted? [21:53] i dont know how usefull that is on a virtual server at all. === CihanKaygusuz is now known as Cihan [21:54] I'd love to talk about theoretically creating a ram disk that comsumes 99% of ram & setting it as swap space, theoretically then 99% of memory contents could maybe be encrypted [21:54] <[dk00]> No idea [21:54] <[dk00]> I am a noob [21:54] I have 2 hard drives, and one has hte bootloader the other ubuntu. The one with the bootloader is going bad. Got a partition created on ubuntu drive and everything was going well until I ran boot-repair its now stuck at `Purge kernels then reinstall last kernel sdb1 (ins). this may require several minutes`. Any ideas what to do to fix this [21:54] Its been stuck at that step for over an hour [21:54] but that would be extremely academic and not practically possible [21:55] the only benefit would be protection from someone hacking the path between cpu & ram anyway which would be easier to solve with an iron box [21:55] I've got a boot-info url if that would help anyone at all [21:55] hello [21:55] and it would only be hackable at that level in fictional writing [21:55] !list [21:55] Alukard: No warez here!

[21:58] then grub-install is definitely going to be your go-to, do you have space on your good drive to make a boot partition? [21:58] <[dk00]> Ok so how do I encrypt the disk? [21:59] yeah its already made [21:59] Anyone know a fix for lightdm white screen problem. Tried rebooting lightdm to no success. [21:59] Happens every time I use a second screen [21:59] shrunk sdb1 (took forever) then prepended a partition of 1GB [21:59] and made it ext4 [21:59] MBR/gpt (partition table) is already in place if you have a partition on the drive, we wont be dealing with that unles you are working with an empty disk [21:59] its now sdb3 [22:00] jefffan24: Is the liveDVD the same release as theat of the installed 'buntu ? - then intall grub to sdb's MBR . reset bios to boot from that 3nd hard drive . [22:00] This morning I installed gdm uninstalled it cuss it did not work correctly, reenabled lightdm it worked used 2nd monitor now it happened again. [22:00] i cant google it at the moment but it will be something to the effect of : grub-install /dev/sdb3 [22:00] Bashing-om, they are both 14.04 I'm not sure about the minor versoin [22:00] and is it alright ot just stop the boot repair? [22:00] google that command and you should be able to find some helpful context [22:01] then you'll maybe want to run sudo grub-update (sorry if my commands are only loosley accurate) not on my own machine to verify [22:01] jefffan24: That will be fine, next is how is sdb partitioned ? GPT does require a /boot partition . [22:01] thegreen2undred: jefffan24 it is VERY unlikely you want to install grub to a partition with "grub-install /dev/sdb3" - that will not work [22:02] Bashing-om, sdb3 is 1GB its the first partition in the list, then sdb1 883GB, then sdb2 (extended) > sdb5 swap. [22:02] TJ- i'm a bit weak on my boot partition work, none else was responding so i offered google'able answers [22:02] thanks for your help thegreen2undred appreciate it :) [22:03] jefffan24, besides getting grub installed to that partition you can use gparted to enable the boot flag [22:03] jefffan24: You make up that sdb1 partition ? .. best show us the partitioning ' pastebin ' sudo parted -l ' . [22:03] jefffan24: I think what you need is to ensure there's a file-system in /dev/sdb3, mount it to some mountpoint, then do something like "grub-install --boot-directory /path/to/mountpoint/of/sdb3 /dev/sdb " [22:04] TJ-, ext4 [22:04] ha, so it will be more in the form of grub-install --root-directory=/path/to/OS /dev/sdb3 [22:05] jefffan24: TJ- wrote the book on booting . we follow his guidance . [22:05] thegreen2undred: NO! forget /dev/sdb3 that is wrong, it should be /dev/sdb [22:05] thanks for the input [22:06] ok Bashing-om thanks, just for reference here is that `sudo parted -l` output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14148491 [22:06] thegreen2undred: the device passed to "grub-install" is where the MBR boot-strap code goes. "--boot-directory X" sets the location where grub-install copies its modules. [22:06] jefffan24: I missed the earlier discussions; is the the disk partitioned with GPT, or MSDOS/MBR ? [22:06] TJ- awesome, that helps make sense of some things I was missing [22:07] partition table is msdos? I'm not sure exactly if that's what you are looking for [22:07] TJ-: jefffan24 " Partition Table: msdos " . :) [22:07] <[dk00]> So guys is there anything I do to scramble the memory? [22:07] thegreen2undred: if you're interested https://iam.tj/kb/pc/boot/ [22:08] jefffan24: OK, so, when 'grub-install' does its thing it needs somewhere to put its core.img, which is approx 1MB in size. Often that is in 'spare' sectors before the first partition, unless you've reserved a partition for it especially. [22:09] TJ- bookmarked and btw its beautiful [22:09] TJ-, reserved a partition for it specifically [22:09] jefffan24: looking at your parted output [22:11] jefffan24: It's not quite as you need it to slip GRUB boot in there; can we get some more detail with "pastebinit <( sudo parted /dev/sdb unit s print )" [22:12] jefffan24: grub-install needs to separate spaces: 1. for core.img (~1MB), and 2. for the grub modules (usually mounted at /boot/grub/) [22:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14148781 <--- TJ- the command you told me to run [22:14] jefffan24: OK, measurements are all in sectors (s) now; we can see the partitions start at 2048, and with the MBR in sector 0, that leaves plenty of 'spare' sectors in-between for GRUB to slip its core.img, so that's #1 solved. [22:14] jefffan24: so /dev/sdb3 can be used for GRUB's 'root' file-system. [22:14] jefffan24: is /dev/sdb3 file-system currently mounted? [22:15] no but it can be [22:15] I have just installed clamav on my server, but freshclam is failing to get the update [22:16] jefffan24: just so i understand; Are you wanting to make /dev/sdb independently boot an OS installed in /dev/sdb1 ? [22:16] is there something equivalent to boxtrapper that is available for ubuntu? [22:16] TJ-, yes [22:17] and sdb3 is now mounted [22:17] jefffan24: and you're currently using a Live ISO boot? [22:17] livecd [22:17] jefffan24: same thing :) [22:17] but yeah [22:17] jefffan24: OK, let's do this via a chroot (change root) to do it properly [22:18] jefffan24: "sudo mkdir /target" [22:18] hi, in order to make virtualbox work I have to do sudo chmod 666 /dev/sda*. This is only recently probably due updates ? [22:18] jefffan24: "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /target" [22:18] jefffan24: "sudo umount /dev/sdb3" [22:18] TJ-, sdb1 was already mounted (I think from boot-repair) I didn't do it [22:18] should I unmount it first? [22:18] jefffan24: umount it [22:19] jefffan24: we don't want to get confused. We want to end up with the root file-system of sdb1 at /target/ [22:19] join #tf2 [22:19] its saying sdb1 is busy [22:19] probably from the failed boot-repair [22:19] jefffan24: you have tools open in the mountpoint [22:19] jefffan24: possible need to "cd /" or close a GUI file-browser? [22:20] only thing open is the terminal [22:21] jefffan24: try "sudo umount --lazy /dev/sdb1" [22:21] unrecognized option --lazy [22:21] jefffan24: which ubuntu release is that? "cat /etc/issue" [22:22] 14.04.3 [22:22] jefffan24: Ahh, then it doesn't have the long option; use "sudo umount -l /dev/sdb1" [22:23] that worked :) [22:23] jefffan24: now "mount" may show that /dev/sdb1 is no longer mounted [22:24] ok sdb1 is now mounted at target [22:24] jefffan24: Good, that's the one we want. if you do "ls -l" you see all the root-file-system directories like bin/, usr/ var/ etc/ ? [22:24] Yup [22:25] it also has boot and boot_bak with boot_bak created today, just incase that matter [22:25] s [22:25] jefffan24: that's good, full steam ahead now. We'll mount the kernel file-systems first with [22:26] jefffan24: "for N in proc sys dev dev/pts run; do sudo mount --bind /$N /target/$N; done " [22:26] jefffan24: and now we'll enter into that system properly with "sudo chroot /target" - at this point you're 'root' in the 'broken' system [22:27] and I just type that for and do in the command line on one line correct? [22:27] jefffan24: yes, type everything inside the double-quotes I use [22:27] jefffan24: but not the double-quotes themselves [22:28] what is a great free monitoring tool for ubuntu server? I need to be able to see the info realtime preferrably on a webpage, i need processes cpu/mem load and network utilization [22:29] TJ-, so should I run chroot before or after the forcommand? [22:29] that in itself is a big waste of resources [22:29] jefffan24: in the order I give you the commands :) [22:29] jefffan24: so, *before* [22:29] mount: mount point /target/dev/ptr does not exist [22:29] jefffan24: sorry, *AFTER* !!! [22:30] jefffan24: you're confusing me now ... lets start again, ignore stuff you've already done! [22:30] jefffan24: "for N in proc sys dev dev/pts run; do sudo mount --bind /$N /target/$N; done " (it's pts not ptr - you have a typo) [22:30] thanks [22:30] totally missed that [22:30] jefffan24: then, after that, "sudo chroot /target" [22:31] jefffan24: you should be able to copy-paste these commands if you're IRC-ing from the LiveCD [22:31] I'm not [22:31] I'm ircing from my laptop [22:31] jefffan24: ahhh, drat :) [22:31] but command ran cleanly with the typo fixed [22:31] jefffan24: is that other PC connected to a network? [22:31] yup [22:32] jefffan24: ok, that could be useful later. Do the 'chroot' and we'll check === circ-user-WV7c2 is now known as tvh [22:32] did the chroot [22:32] jefffan24: "ping -nc5 8.8.8.8" to check there's basic connectivity to the Internet [22:32] successful pings [22:33] jefffan24: and now lets check name resolving: "ping -c5 google-public-dns-a.google.com" [22:33] jefffan24: that's the same target but by name [22:33] looks good [22:34] jefffan24: OK, now lets try to update its package lists "apt-get update" [22:35] done and successful [22:35] jefffan24: so, lets see if we can install a helper: "apt-get install pastebinit" [22:35] Hello, does anyone have experience with SourceTree/Git? I wanted to back up my project by creating a repo for it, so I clicked 'Create New Repo', selected my files, clicked 'Commit', and now my entire project is back to its starting point. I went to Remote Branches and found my files under a branch under 'uncommitted changes'. I right clicked it and clicked 'reset current branch to this commit'. What do I do from this point? [22:36] TJ-, successfully install [22:36] Hi, when installing from usb, I don't see my ssd. I've followed this guide: http://superuser.com/questions/863073/ubuntu-14-04-doesnt-see-my-ssd-drive/863086#863086 , but I got this error: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of `/cow'." [22:36] This was also the only copy of the project I had from this point. 3 months work is now just sitting in this branch and I'm not able to access it in my files anymore [22:36] ohgodpleasehelp: try asking in #github [22:36] Thanks [22:36] jefffan24: OK, let me see some diag info: "pastebinit <( cat /etc/fstab; dpkg -l 'linux*' )" [22:37] Hi, when installing from usb, I don't see my ssd. I've followed this guide: http://superuser.com/questions/863073/ubuntu-14-04-doesnt-see-my-ssd-drive/863086#863086 , but I got this error: "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of `/cow'.". Then I've followed this guide: http://askubuntu.com/questions/207663/cannot-update-grub-with-paramters-on-live-usb/333011 , but still got the same error. Someone knows how to fix [22:37] TJ-, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14149842/ [22:38] sorry for double posting, I've accidently click ENTER (new keyboard) [22:38] simon235: sounds like a corrupt download or bad flash drive write [22:38] simon235: does it work in another PC, your drive? [22:38] daftykins: do you mean my SSD Drive? [22:38] jefffan24: "pastebinit <( sudo blkid /dev/sdb )" [22:39] simon235: no the flash drive you booted from [22:39] daftykins: or USB? [22:39] i'd say SSD for SSD [22:39] daftykins: yes, it works on other devices. [22:39] TJ-, "You are trying to send an empty document, exiting" [22:40] simon235: is the 'SSD' on an Intel caching controller? We've seen those before, and there's some complicated BIOS/firmware changes required to use that device as a regular device [22:40] simon235: are you attempting to dualboot beside an existing Windows? might be a normal vs. EFI booting situation there [22:40] jefffan24: sorry, my fault. "pastebinit <( sudo blkid /dev/sdb* )" [22:40] daftykins: yes, I do [22:40] TJ-, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14149942/ [22:41] TJ-: I don't know what is "Intel caching controller", so I don === shadow is now known as Guest15186 [22:41] so I don't know if this is true [22:41] jefffan24: looking good so far; now let's mount those /etc/fstab entries with "mount -a" [22:42] Is there anyone with Sourcetree experience who can help me? Noone is #github is answering and I'm asbolutely terrified my project is gone [22:42] jefffan24: at this point "mount" should show that /dev/sdb3 is on /boot === sat-buddhi is now known as Advaita [22:42] TJ-, yup [22:42] daftykins: Do you have any idea how to solve this? [22:43] !efi | simon235 have a read about EFI vs. legacy boot [22:43] simon235 have a read about EFI vs. legacy boot: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [22:43] ohgodpleasehelp: I wasn't aware there was a Linux Sourcetree client [22:44] @TJ- There isn't, I'm on Windows. I assume it's similar to any Git UI [22:44] ohgodpleasehelp: why are you in an ubuntu channel to ask? [22:44] jefffan24: OK, good. Now let's install the kernel packages as a prerquisite for GRUB: "apt-get install linux-generic" [22:44] daftykins The issue is more related to git than Sourcetree [22:44] ohgodpleasehelp: you'd best ask Atlassian [22:45] amusingly my mate used to be the OS X dev for that product ;) [22:45] ohgodpleasehelp: my point is how wrong it is for an Ubuntu channel :D [22:45] TJ-, done === Advaita is now known as Tat-Tvam-Asi [22:45] jefffan24: good, now let's try for GRUB: "apt-get install grub-pc" [22:46] already at the newest version [22:46] jefffan24: OK, so "grub-install /dev/sdb" then, if all OK, "update-grub" [22:46] hello how do I enlarge the font on here ? [22:47] Guest15186: depends on your IRC client [22:47] TJ-, installing for i386-pc platform, is that normal for a 64bit install? [22:47] Guest15186: look into the settings of the client you are using [22:47] or does it even matter [22:47] jefffan24: For GRUB thats normal [22:47] thank you [22:47] jefffan24: yes, GRUB is 32-bit only [22:48] good to know [22:48] jefffan24: as in, for BIOS boots, it operates in 32-bit protected mode [22:48] ahh makes sense [22:48] jefffan24: for grub-efi it is 64-bit [22:48] update-grub finished successfully [22:48] jefffan24: now let's check the config it generated: "pastebinit /boot/grub/grub.cfg" [22:49] TJ-, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14150195/ [22:50] jefffan24: did you want the Windows on sda to be in that GRUB boot menu on sdb ? [22:50] No that drive is getting pulled [22:50] Its the one that is going bad [22:51] that's better [22:51] jefffan24: OK, then do "echo 'GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true' >> /etc/default/grub" (make SURE to use >> not > so it appends not overwrites) === Chappie-san2 is now known as Chappie-san [22:51] jefffan24: then redo "update-grub" [22:52] I'll send anyone who can privately help me recover my files $15 in bitcoin if that helps [22:52] TJ-, done [22:52] jefffan24: OK, in theory its ready to boot from now [22:53] TJ-, time to test then? [22:53] jefffan24: remove external boto devices, set BIOS boot order so sdb is first, and test [22:54] How can i troubleshoot this log entry? [22:54] kernel: [517697.997278] type=1400 audit(1450824802.260:19803): apparmor="DENIED" operation="ptrace" profile="lxc-container-default" pid=16698 comm="ps" requested_mask="trace" denied_mask="trace" peer="unconfined" [22:54] I have no idea what container is even causing the issue [22:54] can I change my nick ? [22:54] MACscr: check the pid [22:54] TJ-: but its already gone [22:54] I'm running linux mint from a live usb and i find it's a little slow. Anyone know if it's because it's through a live usb that it's slow? [22:54] Guest15186: /nick [22:55] MACscr: comm=ps suggests it was /bin/ps [22:55] !mint | mint_ [22:55] mint_: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [22:55] daftykins, do you know if I'll choose "enable CSM" it'll help somehow? [22:55] thank you [22:55] mint_: just use the mint channels that are made autojoin on your irc client. [22:55] thanks [22:55] TJ-: yep, but i still have no idea why that would cause an apparmor issue or what container its from [22:55] simon: you must boot and install ubuntu in the same mode as the Windows there already is [22:56] MACscr: you ran 'ps' on the host as UID 0 ? [22:56] k1l: believe it or not, no joy. )-: [22:56] TJ-: huh? i am not doing anything manually to cause it. this issue is happening though a few dozen times an hour [22:56] hi, TJ- [22:57] done [22:57] curlyears: set the sdb to be the firs in boot order in bios [22:57] *first [22:57] MACscr: ok, so something else is running 'ps' from a script maybe? maybe you've installed some monitoring tooling? [22:58] K1`l: I beleive it is, but how do I contorl whish HDD the BIOS boots from? the only choices I seem to had are hdd or other non-hdd devices === Guest15186 is now known as shadow1 [22:58] TJ-, grub came up and I am current logged into my existing ubuntu instance. [22:58] Thank you so much! [22:58] daftykins, in the installation wizard, when I clicked "Next" I saw an confirmation about "efi mode" or "uefi mode" (I don't remember exactly). I clicked "Go Back" because I wanted to change something in the previous screen, and now I can't see this dialog anymore [22:58] daftykins, not even after reboot === shadow1 is now known as Guest97245 [22:58] curlyears: look into the biod settings or see if there is a "what to boot from menu" when you press f10 or f12 or such (look into the handbook) [22:59] daftykins, do you have an idea how to restore this dialog? [22:59] simon: which install wizard? if you ran wubi.exe to install ubuntu from inside windows, we don't support that [22:59] that's better [22:59] k1l: that's what I'm telling you, there doesn't appear to be any control over WHICH hdd it boots from [23:00] curlyears: i doubt that. [23:00] daftykins, the install wizard that comes when I choose "Install Ubuntu" in the boot menu [23:00] k1l: alll it letsa me do is choose the boot order [23:00] TJ-: i have like 12 containers, and every container does have check_mk and snmp running [23:00] simon: ah, well the link i gave you should have explained the difference between booting your USB flash drive as EFI or not [23:01] but i have no idea why their would be any issues running ps commands in a container [23:01] jefffan24: great to hear, that was pretty easy :) [23:01] they are all privileged containers as well [23:01] whats the point of this audit trail if it doesnt give me a way to find out exactly what caused it? [23:02] Im going to move my intiallation to a new HDD but Im concerned that I may botch the process. Surefire tutorial somewhere? Ive heard to sue dd Im nearly certain I will botch that one [23:02] MACscr: it'll be some tight apparmor profile obviously - looks pretty sensible not allowing 'trace' by default. Check the apparmor profiles themselves [23:02] daftykins, from your link "- If the BIOS is set up to boot the CD in UEFI mode, then you will see the screen below:". This is what I see. But I still can't see the SSD. [23:02] MWM: clonezilla [23:02] grr, i dont know crap about apparmor [23:03] MACscr: that audit message gives you everything you need to sort it [23:03] MACscr: as it says, the profile blocking access is "lxc-container-default" - and you know it's DENYing "trace" too, [23:03] simon: are you typing from that live session now? (boot to 'try' mode) [23:03] daftykins: is clonzilla idiotproof ? alternatively can I use dd and move it to an existing drive in the system and then remove the old one ? Will I still boot afterwords? [23:04] is the new drive bigger? [23:05] daftykins: very much so. [23:05] daftykins, right now I'm chatting from another PC. why? [23:05] k1l: I'll go try looking for that option, but I don't thinkn it's there [23:05] MACscr: looking at the apparmor profiles the lxc seems to start with /etc/apparmor.d/lxc-containers >> /etc/apparmor.d/lxc/lxc-default [23:05] simon: you can run some commands from the terminal to check what it sees [23:05] MWM: come online from a live session then you can dd the two disks direct. [23:06] right! back to my coding [23:06] daftykins: then I can just pull the old disk and reboot? or will I ahve to change UUID in the fstab or something? [23:06] thanks BTW [23:06] MWM: one step at a time. [23:07] right now you've got a map showing you where the bridge is, lets walk up to it first ;) [23:07] daftykins: OK, now I'm typing from the live session [23:08] TJ-: what does this part mean? peer="unconfined" [23:08] i do have two lxc guests with "lxc.aa_profile = unconfined" in their lxc_name/config profiles [23:08] simon235: in a terminal, run "sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999" [23:08] not going to be making the swtich for a few days yet. Im just making sure I dont botch the job right now. Ill drop back in when Ive done the work in dd. Thanks [23:09] daftykins: It says "Use netcat." [23:10] simon235: alternatively then, "sudo apt update && sudo apt install pastebinit" then "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" [23:11] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14151078/ [23:12] can't figure out ssh.. tried ssh user@domain.com:50022, ssh user@domain.com -p 50022 and ssh -p 50022 user@domain.com, but neither works.. I know the domain part and port forward works, because I can ssh from my tablet [23:12] simon235: mmm sure enough a 1TB storage disk only; what make + model system is this? [23:13] Platypus2k: don't try and get it all at once, see if it gets through without specifying a user to start with [23:13] also consider -vv on ssh to have more idea what it's trying [23:13] daftykins: it is asus g752. Is this what you mean? [23:14] yep, lets see [23:14] different usernames and nonstandard ports. thanks for verbose tip [23:16] daftykins: btw, do you know how to prevent the data from live sessions to be saved? I missed a dialog about efi/uefi when I first came into the installation wizard. Then anytime I restart I have my checkbox/radio buttons pre-chosen in the wizard [23:16] and it remembers I accidently clicked [23:16] Platypus2k: i know but you don't need to get the user right to see the prompt comes up, if you're not getting that far - so try e.g. "ssh hostname -p 50022" and "ssh hostname:50022" with no user stuff [23:16] "cancel" on uefi/efi dialog === Guest97245 is now known as shadow2 [23:16] simon235: live sessions don't save anything [23:17] unless you made the drive 'persistent' [23:17] it managed to resovle the ip from the domain name I gave it, still times out [23:17] daftykins: idk, maybe it saves on the USB or something, but I have the browser history from the previous session. [23:17] simon235: can you share "dmesg | pastebinit" ? [23:18] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14151287/ [23:18] yep your drive is persistent, you'd need to remake it [23:18] huh [23:19] daftykins: what does it mean? === Pacman is now known as CyberPacman === step21 is now known as step21_ [23:20] it stores changes, so you'd need to wipe it and recreate [23:20] have i manage to change my nick at last hehe [23:20] wow [23:21] simon235: it looks like that laptop comes with a 128GB SSD, if so i would not try and adjust the size of that - as 128 is barely enough for Windows on its' own === CyberPacman is now known as stepbystep === nolsen is now known as JackFromStateFar === JackFromStateFar is now known as JakeFromStateFar [23:22] daftykins: What if I'll put Windows OS on 50 GB SSD, and windows data on HDD? [23:23] daftykins: (logging out, speak to "simon" instead") [23:23] k1l: as I thought. I went through every menu in my BIOS, no option for choosing which drive to boot from [23:23] simon: no, 128GB is barely enough for just Windows' install [23:24] I could try disconnecting the othwer drive for n ow [23:24] curlyears: then see the handbook which key to press to get to the boot menu to choose [23:24] daftykins: if you do windows + linux 250gb [23:24] for each [23:24] ]'j1l: the motherboad handbook? [23:24] curlyears: yes [23:24] k1l [23:25] daftykins, why windows need so much space for OS only without data? [23:26] xcelq: it's a 128GB SSD beside a 1TB HDD, i don't see what you mean :) [23:26] OK, that's on a CD, so off I go again. this is getting quite tedious, it takes a considerable to to boot from the Live CD [23:26] simon: because in time it'll grow. i would not attempt to resize it, in fact i think ubuntu is badly suited to put on that system at all [23:26] k1l: I aM QUITE CERTAIN YOU ARE FINDING THIS TEDIOUS AS WLL [23:26] well [23:26] curlyears: its not rocket science. you could press f10 or f12 or esc or such to test which key it is [23:27] soww for all caps [23:27] OK [23:27] simon: i think the SSD in that laptop is too new for ubuntu to make use of, anyway [23:27] daftykins, why? [23:28] simon: because it's likely M.2 PCI-Express and it isn't supported well yet, in your dmesg i can only see the DVD and 1TB HDD get detected [23:28] one moment let me check with someone [23:29] I aim to use mostly Ubuntu, and barely use windows, so I guess it won't grow rapidly [23:29] daftykins, ^^ [23:29] simon: then it's too new for Linux i'm afraid [23:31] simon: can you run "lspci -nnk | pastebinit" from the live session? [23:35] now that i got established in here for the first time is it normal to ask where ppl are from etc ? [23:35] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14151998/ [23:36] shadow2: no, support only in here - #ubuntu-offtopic for chat [23:36] shadow2, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic not here [23:37] I've not been here before [23:37] daftykins: simon235 I don't see any PCI-connected storage there, nothing reporting on the PCIe bus [23:37] shadow2: Yhis channle is ubuntu support only. palaver in #ubuntu-offtopic :) [23:38] TJ-: could it be hiding from that persistent wily flash drive? i'm convinced it has one, as such a gaming spec laptop wouldn't come with just the 1TB mechanical [23:39] daftykins: TJ- , I'm sure I have the SSD. I have Windows installed on it. [23:39] maybe a lshw will show it ... [23:39] daftykins: simon235 anything connected on PCI/e will show up even if no drivers are available. [23:40] simon235: can you go back to Windows and run crystaldiskinfo and screenshot to imgur.com of the SSD? [23:40] simon235: daftykins as I said earlier; we've seen similar systems where the SSD is actually on a special Intel caching controller and is not seen directly by the OS [23:41] TJ-: daftykins yes sure [23:41] in a min [23:41] might be a newer arm of the chipset RAID tech that i've not seen yet if so [23:43] simon235: daftykins asus web-site is terrible; all the Support links (drivers, etc) are broken [23:44] their US one seemed down for me a moment ago, kept hiding things [23:44] TJ-: What did you ask to printscreen? [23:44] simon235_: I think daftykins did that [23:46] simon235: yeah it was me, download crystaldiskinfo [23:46] http://www.notebookcheck.net/fileadmin/Notebooks/Asus/G752VT/cdmc.png [23:46] pretty certain it's a freestanding non-obfuscated drive, how odd === yecril71pl1 is now known as yecril71pl [23:50] daftykins: https://imgur.com/1a15G6t [23:50] daftykins: I don't think this is the right screen [23:51] wow so even crystaldiskinfo can't see it! [23:51] hello. i've never touched the kernel or kernel configs before, and am a bit over my head. i want to enable "CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM" and "CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP_ENABLED". i've added "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1" to `etc/default/grub`, updated grub, and rebooted. i see "cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1" in /proc/cmdline, but CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is still not enabled, according to /boot/config-3.1 [23:51] 3.0-24-generic [23:51] simon235_: and if you run "diskmgmt.msc" ? do you see C:? or even just in the 'This PC' view?

Version 3.13.0.74.80 (trusty), package size 1 kB, installed size 29 kB [23:54] 74 yep [23:54] simon235_: we need to see the detail for Disk 1 [23:55] zwischenzug: is this a vps? [23:55] daftykins: TJ- : Better this way? https://imgur.com/mbIe0JE [23:55] k1l, no. [23:56] zwischenzug: so its your machine? and its a regular machine? with no reason for a specific kernel? (like arm or mips or such) [23:56] simon235_: Yes, can you drill down on Disk 1 menus to get more info on the device itself [23:57] k1l, yes, my machine (running as a x86-64 vm) [23:57] ok looks like crystaldiskinfo just doesn't support the NVMe SSD yet [23:57] zwischenzug: then install "linux-generic" which will bring you the regular 14.04 kernel. [23:57] hmm, might be due to your vm method that its on 3.0 kernel [23:58] TJ-: Do you want to see "properties"? Which tab? [23:58] simon235_: it might be better to go into the Windows Device Manager, expand the tree down to the SSD device, and screenshot so we can see how Windows sees it connected. Then go to the Properties tab of the SSD itself, and get the device ID (vendor and product) [23:58] simon235_: the samsung name should show up under storage in device manager -> devmgmt.msc [23:58] 'Disk drives' [23:59] simon235_: we're mostly interested in how the SSD is connected to the motherboard devices
