| afjjfjsad | Does anyone know why when ubuntu-installer starts via PXE, the text gets all jacked up and garbled? | 00:00 |
| afjjfjsad | I've tried setting it to 9600, 19200, 57600, 115200 | 00:01 |
| afjjfjsad | all of them do the same | 00:01 |
| daftykins | simon235_: i'm starting to agree with TJ- that this one must have a BIOS setting that could be hiding the SSD from Ubuntu - though undoing it would likely mean losing the Windows install entirely, so you might want to back it up if you want (though win10 can be downloaded easily from Microsoft) | 00:01 |
| TJ- | simon235_: OK, no goto the "Details" tab, and find the vendor and product IDs (4 hexadecimal digits each) | 00:01 |
| TJ- | daftykins: it's on Bus 7 according to that | 00:02 |
| afjjfjsad | http://imgur.com/0ALFLGV <--- this is what the install screen looks like when it starts | 00:02 |
| daftykins | TJ-: 3 turn up at once whenever i'm waiting ;) | 00:02 |
| afjjfjsad | I've tried passing various options to the kernel: nomodeset, noplymouth, etc etc | 00:02 |
| === dotpixis is now known as krampuss | ||
| TJ- | daftykins: that must be the Windows SCSI/ATA bus, not PCI domain/bus though, so we still need to see a screenshot of the Device Manager device tree with the leafs expanded down to that device, to make sense of it | 00:03 |
| nicomachus | afjjfjsad: are you installing from a USB or Disk? | 00:03 |
| afjjfjsad | PXE | 00:03 |
| daftykins | afjjfjsad: that looks virtualised, more than just PXE | 00:03 |
| jonny5000 | ANYONE? just installed ubuntu 14.04 on a lenovo yoga 13 and it does not recognize pointer device (trackpad) any help? | 00:03 |
| afjjfjsad | it's PXE to a headless server | 00:03 |
| daftykins | jonny5000: no idea but you can begin picking through /var/log/Xorg.0.log to identify it | 00:04 |
| afjjfjsad | I'm trying to use the serial port as a console on the headless server, so the concept would be the same as virtualization | 00:04 |
| afjjfjsad | but it's all real hardware | 00:04 |
| nicomachus | jonny5000: you can try some of the things suggested here as well: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad | 00:04 |
| TJ- | daftykins: I'm wondering if acpi_osi magic is needed to enable the device | 00:05 |
| jonny5000 | thanks. will look. relative novice with ubuntu | 00:05 |
| raymondillo | /quit | 00:05 |
| TJ- | simon235_: daftykins: dmesg shows e.g. "\_SB_.PCI0:_OSC invalid UUID" | 00:05 |
| daftykins | ooh | 00:06 |
| TJ- | simon235_: daftykins and "[Firmware Bug]: ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored" ... so it'll be in "fail-safe' minimal mode | 00:06 |
| jonny5000 | nicomachus, thank you. relative novice here | 00:06 |
| afjjfjsad | ive tried searching around, the closest I could find were some centos people talking about anaconda jacking up the baud rate, so that's why I tried the 4 different values | 00:06 |
| TJ- | daftykins: what's the betting it needs "acpi_osi=Windows 2015" or similar? | 00:07 |
| daftykins | hehehe | 00:07 |
| daftykins | how annoying | 00:07 |
| simon235_ | TJ-: I don't find "Provider ID" nor "vendor", just "Provider" (Microsoft) | 00:08 |
| daftykins | out of interest is the driver provided by samsung? | 00:09 |
| TJ- | simon235_: It'll be buried in the values for one of the combo-box entries on the Details tab. As you select different combo-box names, the values will appear in the text box below | 00:09 |
| nicomachus | jonny5000: np, if you have questions after trying a few of those things just speak up. :) | 00:09 |
| xcelq | daftykins: which one? | 00:09 |
| TJ- | daftykins: are you able to tell simon235_ what the label of that combo-box is, and which item name in it is the one showing the PCI IDs ? | 00:10 |
| daftykins | mmm possibly, lets see | 00:10 |
| krampuss | is it safe to resize my /boot partition? | 00:11 |
| TJ- | afjjfjsad: you say its a PXE boot; do you mean it's using a netconsole? | 00:11 |
| jonny5000 | nicomachus, none of it makes much sense to me. i looked at the webpage and it seems to tell me whether my trackpad is identified, which it does seem to be. it just doesnt work. that website didnt get into how to make it work. i am now looking at the var/log file and have no idea what i am looking for ! | 00:11 |
| nicomachus | jonny5000: ok, np. can you paste the output of 'xinput list' to a pastebin and link here? | 00:12 |
| simon235_ | TJ-: daftykins sent you share screen links | 00:12 |
| daftykins | simon235_: on the "Details" tab my SSD has "Device instance path" which has a long string with info | 00:12 |
| jonny5000 | nicomachus, in the var/log file i see a whole bunch of lines about synaptics and i think my trackpad is SynPS/2 | 00:12 |
| jonny5000 | nicomachus, yes | 00:13 |
| daftykins | xcelq: not sure what you're asking, sorry. | 00:13 |
| afjjfjsad | TJ-: I'm using PXE to load ubuntu-installer which i copied out of install/netboot/ubuntu-installer on the ubuntu server 14.04.3 amd64 iso | 00:13 |
| simon235_ | daftykins: SCSI\DISK&VEN_NVME&PROD_SAMSUNG_MZVLV128\4&E84421F&0&070000 | 00:13 |
| simon235_ | TJ-: ^^ | 00:13 |
| afjjfjsad | http://www.tecmint.com/add-ubuntu-to-pxe-network-boot/ <-- like this | 00:13 |
| krampuss | full question: is it safe to resize my /boot partition if i'm using full disk encryption, and i'm not taking from my unalocated memory (~2mb) | 00:13 |
| daftykins | TJ-: is the above what you wanted? | 00:14 |
| TJ- | afjjfjsad: if you're using the serial console, firstly you'll have set GRUB to use terminal_input serial, terminal_output serial, and on the screen client you'll probably need the "istrip" option | 00:14 |
| afjjfjsad | TJ-: I don't mind not seeing grub on the console, right now I'm just trying to get the installer to load without jacking up the text | 00:14 |
| TJ- | simon235_: daftykins yes, that no :) | 00:14 |
| jonny5000 | nicomachus, http://pastebin.com/Mnh2L6nX | 00:14 |
| afjjfjsad | I'm passing console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 to the kernel | 00:15 |
| afjjfjsad | via "apped" in my pxelinux.cfg | 00:15 |
| afjjfjsad | append* | 00:15 |
| TJ- | simon235_: daftykins that's showing us the vendor is likely the 'standard' NVMe class driver | 00:15 |
| nicomachus | jonny5000: ok, enter: xinput set-prop 13 "Device Enabled" 1 | 00:15 |
| TJ- | simon235_: daftykins what we now need is the Device Manager tree view so we can see which PCIe root hub it is connected to | 00:15 |
| jonny5000 | nicomachus, ok done | 00:16 |
| daftykins | TJ-: is the "Last known parent" dev manager parameter useful for that? | 00:16 |
| nicomachus | jonny5000: touchpad work now? | 00:16 |
| TJ- | afjjfjsad: like I said; your terminal likely needs more options such as 'istrip' - see "man 1 stty" for the options | 00:16 |
| jonny5000 | nicomachus, still no pointer on screen or trackpad activity | 00:16 |
| afjjfjsad | oh snap | 00:17 |
| afjjfjsad | missed that part | 00:17 |
| TJ- | daftykins: not sure; might be, but seeing a visual of the tree of branches leading to that device might be helpful to understand how things are wired | 00:17 |
| simon235_ | TJ-: daftykins PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2822&SUBSYS_1CED1043&REV_31\3&11583659&1&B8 | 00:17 |
| daftykins | simon235_: you'll probably want to select View -> Devices by connection ; then expand it and make a new screenshot | 00:18 |
| TJ- | simon235_: ooo, let me x-ref that to your earlier 'lspci' | 00:18 |
| TJ- | simon235_: that's the "00:17.0 RAID bus controller [0104]: Intel Corporation SATA Controller [RAID mode] [8086:2822] (rev 31)" | 00:18 |
| nicomachus | jonny5000: ok, perhaps try this: sudo apt-get install gpointing-device-settings | 00:19 |
| simon235_ | TJ-: daftykins https://imgur.com/WUtKrPD | 00:19 |
| daftykins | krampuss: dpkg -l | grep linux- | pastebinit | 00:19 |
| jonny5000 | nicomachus, thank you. did that. now what | 00:20 |
| nicomachus | jonny5000: then run 'gpointing-device-settings', and you should see SynPS/2 in the left panel. Select it, and in the "general" property page on the right click and select disable, then un-select to re-enable. | 00:20 |
| afjjfjsad | TJ-: holy crap dude, that worked | 00:20 |
| daftykins | mmm i guess intel do have some kind of RAID setup that's making SSDs awkward | 00:20 |
| TJ- | simon235_: if that is the device parent it doesn't make sense at all, since that's a SATA controller not a PCI express root port, which was what I expected. Unless the 8086:2822 is the NVMe controller and we can't see past it because it's started in "RAID" mode? | 00:20 |
| krampuss | daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14154132/ | 00:20 |
| TJ- | afjjfjsad: it usually does | 00:20 |
| jonny5000 | nicomachus, ok will do | 00:20 |
| afjjfjsad | TJ-: thanks a ton, you just saved me lots of work.. i was goign through the installer from memory trying to remember what menu was what | 00:20 |
| TJ- | afjjfjsad: never a happy experience :D | 00:20 |
| afjjfjsad | welp, im outski. thanks again | 00:21 |
| daftykins | TJ-: i think you're right with the latter, but would RAID mode being changed kill the Windows install? usually does | 00:21 |
| TJ- | simon235_: nice one! So, it is on that 8086:2822 controller! | 00:21 |
| TJ- | daftykins: simon235_ So, what we need is to STOP the linux ahci driver from taking control of that device, and have the nvme driver take it instead | 00:22 |
| jonny5000 | nicomachus, tried it. no difference. is it important to mention to you that i dont even see a pointer on the screen? this is a touch screen, by the way, which is working and is how i am able to effectuate clicks, etc. | 00:22 |
| nicomachus | jonny5000: we aren't done yet. :) Go to system settings --> mouse & touchpad now, and verify what those settings are | 00:23 |
| zwischenzug | i've upgrade to kernel 3.13.0-74-generic. CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is now enabled, but "CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP_ENABLED" is still missing. this should be set with the grub boot option "swapaccount=1", but doesn't seem to be working. any other ideas? | 00:23 |
| simon235_ | TJ-: unfortunately, I don't really sure I understood what you said. | 00:23 |
| jonny5000 | nicomachus, i see a GUI settings screen for the touchpad. e.g., a slider to change the speed, and tickmarks for left and right buttons, etc. | 00:24 |
| OneM_Industries | Hey, if I knew the name but not the ID of a process, and I wanted to kill it how would I do so? | 00:24 |
| xcelq | kill -9 idofproccess | 00:24 |
| daftykins | OneM_Industries: use kill based on name, as per man page | 00:24 |
| nicomachus | jonny5000: great. are they greyed out or can you actually interact? | 00:24 |
| nacc | OneM_Industries: pkill | 00:25 |
| OneM_Industries | Ah, perfect. | 00:25 |
| xcelq | ^ | 00:25 |
| TJ- | simon235_: OK, let me explain a bit more. Every bit of PCI and USB hardware (chipset) has a unique ID, made up of the VENDOR part and the PRODUCT (aka Device) part. Those are usually displayed as two 4-digit hexadcimal numbers e.g. 8086:2822 | 00:25 |
| jonny5000 | nicomachus, actually they are: [] disable while typing; []tap to click [] two finger scroll [] natural scrolling ...... and they can interact and are not grayed | 00:25 |
| simon235_ | TJ-: got this part :) | 00:26 |
| nicomachus | jonny5000: ok good. give her a reboot and see if your touchpad works once it's booted up again. | 00:26 |
| nacc | zwischenzug: is MEMCG_SWAP=y ? | 00:26 |
| OneM_Industries | Second question, I want to open a process that needs the display via ssh. | 00:26 |
| nacc | zwischenzug: MEMCG_KMEM is not related to MEMCG_SWAP_ENABLED afaik | 00:26 |
| TJ- | simon235_: as well as device IDs PCI/e devices has a 'class', and AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) is one such. A Linux driver can 'claim' a chipset/device by its Vendor:Product, or Class, IDs. AHCI claims based on the device class. | 00:26 |
| nacc | OneM_Industries: ssh -X ? | 00:26 |
| jonny5000 | nicomachus, hmmm. i will do that, but those buttons were interactable before... does that change your recommendation? | 00:26 |
| OneM_Industries | nacc: What does that do? | 00:27 |
| jonny5000 | nicomachus, if not, be right back... | 00:27 |
| nacc | OneM_Industries: enables X11 forwarding over ssh | 00:27 |
| nicomachus | jonny5000: nope, just wanted to make sure they still were. | 00:27 |
| simon235_ | ok | 00:27 |
| nacc | OneM_Industries: I assume by "display" you meant the X server | 00:27 |
| jonny5000 | nicomachus, ok BRB | 00:27 |
| TJ- | simon235_: so the linux 'nvme' driver doesn't know about that device and doesn't get to try to claim it. My hypothesis is we need to do 2 things: 1. Stop the 'ahci' driver from claiming 8086:2822, and then get 'nvme' to claim it | 00:27 |
| nacc | zwischenzug: MEMCG_KMEM is for controlling kernel memory allocations | 00:27 |
| OneM_Industries | No. I mean that the machine I am SSHing into has a screen, and I want an aplication to open on that screen. | 00:28 |
| OneM_Industries | application* | 00:28 |
| simon235_ | TJ-: because linux cannot cooperate with ahci? | 00:28 |
| nacc | OneM_Industries: oh, then you probably need to export an appropriate DISPLAY variable | 00:29 |
| OneM_Industries | Er.. | 00:29 |
| OneM_Industries | So, how would I do that? | 00:29 |
| jonny5000 | nicomachus, OMG!!! thank you!! | 00:30 |
| nicomachus | jonny5000: working now? | 00:30 |
| SchrodingersScat | OneM_Industries: export DISPLAY=":0.0" # one possible option. | 00:30 |
| jonny5000 | nicomachus, yes! working now | 00:30 |
| nicomachus | excellent! good to hear. | 00:30 |
| TJ- | simon235_: No, because AHCI usually should manage that 2822 device. See the 2 ahci and nvme module aliases' they show what those modules 'claim' in terms of device IDs. http://paste.ubuntu.com/14154230/ | 00:30 |
| nacc | OneM_Industries: it depends on what your X server is running as on the target, presuming the target is Linux, etc. | 00:30 |
| jonny5000 | nicomachus, for my edification, what was the issue in essence? | 00:30 |
| nacc | OneM_Industries: bu what SchrodingersScat said is accurate | 00:31 |
| krampuss | so how can i get rid of my "bloatware" so that i can install my latest security updates? | 00:31 |
| OneM_Industries | The target is Linux, the application is Rythmbox. | 00:31 |
| zwischenzug | nacc, MEMCG_SWAP is set to 'y'. i brought up both MEMCG_KMEM and MEMCG_SWAP_ENABLED because i want them both set to 'y'; they are otherwise not related. i've been able to set MEMCG_KMEM to 'y', so still need to figure out how to set MEMCG_SWAP_ENABLED to 'y'. | 00:31 |
| nicomachus | jonny5000: I *think* it's a bug in the kernel related to that particular touchpad driver, and for some reason using that third-party touchpad config tool worked us around that. | 00:31 |
| nacc | OneM_Industries: yeah, so you'll probably look at `ps aux | grep X` to see which display X is running on and export the variable | 00:32 |
| simon235_ | TJ-: so why ubuntu can't see the SSD via the AHCI? | 00:32 |
| OneM_Industries | So, I just run export DISPLAY=":0.0" basically? | 00:32 |
| SchrodingersScat | OneM_Industries: if the display is different then you can normally check on the machine with a terminal emulator and echo $DISPLAY to see what it happens to be using. Then when you log in via ssh you can export that same value. | 00:32 |
| jonny5000 | nicomachus, GREAT. THANK YOU. where are you located? I need to send some positive vibes there | 00:32 |
| afjjfjsad | TJ-: ahh dude ok so I lied. that didn't work... interestingly, with or without "istrip", I can quit and restart screen on each page, and press CTRL-L to redraw the screen and it draws correctly. but as soon as it goes to the next screen it's jacked up again :/ | 00:32 |
| nicomachus | jonny5000: I've had plenty this week, share them with people around you. :) | 00:33 |
| SchrodingersScat | OneM_Industries: yep, give it a try, run that, then in the same shell run rythmbox and see if it comes up. | 00:33 |
| nacc | nicomachus: jonny5000: just an FYI that there have been a lot of upstream fixes for the yoga series of laptops | 00:33 |
| TJ- | simon235_: according to the NVMe specifications the class-code for NVMe is 010802 which you can see in the 'nvme' module's "bc01" and "sc0802" claims | 00:33 |
| nacc | there's a series going in right now for the yoga 900, e.g. | 00:33 |
| TJ- | afjjfjsad: so that's a local screen issue then | 00:33 |
| nacc | zwischenzug: if you set MEMCG_SWAP_ENABLED=y you don't need to pass swapaccount=1, fwiw | 00:33 |
| TJ- | simon235_: but, in your Linux 'lspci' output the class code is [0104] | 00:34 |
| jonny5000 | nicomachus, ok good to hear. what are the upstream fixes you speak of and how do i locate them and or implement? | 00:34 |
| nacc | zwischenzug: so you set MEMCG_SWAP=y, MEMCG_KMEM=y, MEMCG_SWAP_ENABLED=y in .config, ran oldconfig and they turned off? | 00:34 |
| simon235_ | TJ-: do you know why? | 00:34 |
| nicomachus | jonny5000: they'll come with new kernel updates. the next LTS release (16.04) should take care of a lot of them (and, of course, introduce more in other places) | 00:34 |
| afjjfjsad | TJ-: yea I'm gonna give minicom a shot and see if it handles it more gracefully. | 00:34 |
| TJ- | simon235_: so, it looks like you'd need to alter a setting in the PC's firmware Setup to change the controller mode from RAID - not sure what else it'll offer, possibly AHCI (which will likely result in the same device class!) but it might be the way to do it | 00:35 |
| nacc | zwischenzug: and, if you aren't buidling your own kernel, but using the stock Ubuntu ones, passing swapaccount=1 is functionally the same as having MEMCG_SWAP_ENABLED=y, but at runtime. You won't see any change in the runnig kernel's .config file, but in the behavior | 00:35 |
| zwischenzug | nacc, i'm touching any .config file. the only file i'm editing is /etc/default/grub, and setting GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1". is there a .config file i can edit that sets this? i looked into sysctl, but haven't found anything yet. | 00:35 |
| jonny5000 | nacc: nicomachus: ok, so there is nothing i need to do then? | 00:35 |
| zer0bel0w | nice | 00:36 |
| zwischenzug | nacc, * i'm not touching any .config file.* | 00:36 |
| nacc | jonny5000: yeah, i think 16.04 will support these devices a lot better, generally | 00:36 |
| nacc | zwischenzug: ok | 00:36 |
| jonny5000 | Y O U G U Y S A R E A W E SO M E | 00:37 |
| nacc | zwischenzug: so i think you're misapprehending what is in config-... whatever. That is a static listing of options specified when a kernel is compiled. Passing command-line parameters via grub will not change htat listing, but will change the behavior of the system | 00:37 |
| SebastianTCL | maybe you can help me, nobody is responding over at lubuntu, every time i log in the sound or the mic is gone | 00:37 |
| SebastianTCL | i already got pulseaudio | 00:37 |
| SebastianTCL | doesnt work | 00:37 |
| SebastianTCL | everything should be working correctly according to alsamixer too | 00:37 |
| SebastianTCL | but no sound | 00:37 |
| w9qbj | how do I change which java processes uses | 00:38 |
| nicomachus | SebastianTCL: perhaps try: sudo apt-get install pavucontrol | 00:39 |
| SebastianTCL | i already did that nicomachus | 00:39 |
| TJ- | SebastianTCL: if the PC has multi sound devices (such as HDMI audio) sometimes the default device is set to the device you're not expecting sound from. Try changing the default output device | 00:40 |
| simon235_ | TJ-: sorry to annoy you, but how can I do this? | 00:40 |
| SebastianTCL | nope TJ- it is a laptop | 00:40 |
| nicomachus | SebastianTCL: does it have an HDMI port? | 00:40 |
| SebastianTCL | nicomachus, no | 00:41 |
| zwischenzug | nacc, ok, that makes sense. so if i see that "swapaccount=1" has been passed during boot, I can assume that behavior has changed? is there a dynamic way to verify this? | 00:41 |
| TJ- | simon235_: Reboot the PC, go into its firmware Setup (usually holding down Del or F2 at boot), find the options that control the SATA controller modes, see what it offers and try changing to an alternative mode. | 00:41 |
| nicomachus | SebastianTCL: open up pavucontrol anyway and check the default sound device. | 00:41 |
| TJ- | SebastianTCL: what does "aplay -L" report ? | 00:41 |
| SebastianTCL | Analog stereo duplex | 00:42 |
| SebastianTCL | nicomachus, http://pastebin.com/JHZpQcYs | 00:42 |
| simon | TJ-, I have "Sata mode selection", and the only option is "RAID" | 00:43 |
| nacc | zwischenzug: I'm not too familiar with the cgroups, but I think you'd see either /sys/fs/cgroup/memsw/... or /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/memsw.* files | 00:43 |
| nacc | most likel the latter, zwischenzug | 00:44 |
| TJ- | simon: really? no alternatives? is there some other option elsewhere to do with the PCIe or SATA controllers? | 00:44 |
| TJ- | simon: with Asus having that broken web-site I cannot find the manuals to be able to review it | 00:44 |
| nacc | zwischenzug: and w/o that command-line parameter (and with MEMCG_SWAP_ENABLED not set to "y" in .config) then you won't see those files if you dont' pass swapaccount=1 | 00:44 |
| pac1 | given a filesystem with some version of ubuntu on it, how would you find out the distribution and version? for example Kubuntu 14.04... | 00:44 |
| nicomachus | pac1: lsb_release -a | 00:45 |
| TJ- | pac1: cat the ./etc/issue file from the root file-system | 00:45 |
| nicomachus | ^ or that | 00:45 |
| TJ- | nicomachus: lsb_release will only work if the system is running | 00:45 |
| pac1 | lsb_release -a shows the version you are running, not the one you want to check. | 00:46 |
| nicomachus | whoops. | 00:46 |
| pac1 | TJ your suggestion is exactly correct. | 00:47 |
| pac1 | Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS \n \l | 00:47 |
| pac1 | now how can I distinguish between an installed Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Kubuntu? | 00:49 |
| SebastianTCL | yeah the volume control is just not working | 00:50 |
| simon | TJ-, I have in advanced tab "start easy flash","internal pointing device","wake on lid open","intel virtualization technology","inter aes-ni","vi-d","intel(r) rapid storage technology","realtek pcie gbe family controller","smart settings","sata configuration","network stack configuration","usb configuration","intel(r) thunderboilt" | 00:50 |
| TJ- | pac1: maybe via the heading in ./etc/apt/sources.list (if it details the ISO/DVD media it installed from) | 00:50 |
| simon | TJ-, under "sata config" I have only "sata mode selection" | 00:50 |
| TJ- | simon: "rapid storage technology" !! | 00:50 |
| TJ- | simon: maybe :P | 00:50 |
| simon | TJ-, I can see there the disks details, but cannot change anything | 00:52 |
| SebastianTCL | do i have to get rid of alsa for pavucontrol to work? | 00:53 |
| jonny5000 | nicomachus, nacc, because I can't leave well enough alone..... do you guys know of a way to make it so that when i flip into tablet mode, (1) the screen will rotate; (2) the virtual keyboard will become available in text input scenarios and (3 less important) the trackpad will auto-disable? are these the upstream fixes? | 00:53 |
| BlackFX | does anyone know what version kernel changes from overlayfs to overlay ? | 00:53 |
| daftykins | simon: is SATA mode not on 'RAID' and can be changed to 'AHCI' ? | 00:54 |
| nicomachus | jonny5000: that's... possibly a better question for #ubuntu-touch. I imagine that's something that's still in the sidelines, and in the works for when convergence becomes more of a big deal. | 00:54 |
| daftykins | simon: oh my bad, saw you said it's the only option. | 00:54 |
| simon | daftykins, yep | 00:55 |
| nicomachus | SebastianTCL: try running through a few of these troubleshooting items: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting | 00:56 |
| TJ- | simon: It looks like that system isn't truly NVMe | 00:57 |

| TJ- | SebastianTCL: ALSA is the kernel layer sound support, you can't 'get rid' of it | 00:58 |
| TJ- | SebastianTCL: does this generate anything: " speaker-test -Dfront -l 2 -c 2 -t wav " | 01:01 |
| simon | TJ-, daftykins It seems other people got the same problem: https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?79205-Cannot-see-NVMe-M-2-Samsung-Drive-in-Linux-on-ASUS-G752V | 01:01 |
| SebastianTCL | TJ-, http://pastebin.com/2fC8mNZU | 01:01 |
| TJ- | simon: right, because the controller isn't in NVMe mode, and apparently the firmware is buggy | 01:02 |
| TJ- | SebastianTCL: looks like you have another process has exclusive access to the ALSA device right now | 01:02 |
| SebastianTCL | TJ-, how do I liberate it? | 01:03 |
| SebastianTCL | weird now there is a file on my home folder alsa.sh | 01:04 |
| SebastianTCL | it reads | 01:04 |
| SebastianTCL | http://pastebin.com/gnjqqVyf | 01:04 |
| TJ- | SebastianTCL: probably best to reboot unless you know what programs you've been launching that may still have the device open. | 01:05 |
| SebastianTCL | brb | 01:05 |
| zwischenzug | nacc, i have several /sys/fs/cgroup.memory/memory.memsw.* files, but they also exist if i don't pass in the swapaccount=1 option | 01:07 |

| RedPenguin | hey all | 01:10 |
| RedPenguin | anybody have experience with the spdif header with ubuntu? | 01:11 |
| TJ- | SebastianTCL: did you re-run the 'speaker-test' and did it succeed to connect to the sound device? | 01:12 |
| SebastianTCL | TJ-, http://pastebin.com/y4kRTFVi | 01:13 |
| SebastianTCL | no sound | 01:13 |
| TJ- | SebastianTCL: OK, you didn't use the command I gave you earlier, which may have made a difference | 01:14 |
| TJ- | SebastianTCL: " speaker-test -Dfront -l 2 -c 2 -t wav " | 01:14 |
| SebastianTCL | TJ-, http://pastebin.com/dU7CrQ3Z | 01:14 |
| TJ- | SebastianTCL: you said the PC is a laptop? I presume you've checked the outputs are muted, and the volumes are up, in the 'alsamixer' ? | 01:14 |
| SebastianTCL | TJ-, yes the volumes are up in alsa | 01:15 |
| TJ- | SebastianTCL: I'm not sure what's going on there; something has the device by the look of this: "Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy" | 01:15 |
| TJ- | SebastianTCL: have you installed any other sound controllers, such as Jack ? | 01:15 |
| SebastianTCL | not that i know of, how can i check | 01:16 |
| SebastianTCL | TJ-, | 01:16 |
| TJ- | SebastianTCL: earlier there was a message about "unable to access home directory" which was definitely wrong; I wonder if you've somehow messed up some permissions somewhere, too | 01:16 |
| SebastianTCL | aha! fixed it! | 01:17 |
| TJ- | SebastianTCL: you'd know if you'd installed something Like Jack I'd think; You'll need to seek help from the ALSA experts here I think | 01:17 |
| TJ- | SebastianTCL: go on... how? | 01:17 |
| simon | TJ-, daftykins do you have any idea what can I do about it? | 01:18 |
| TJ- | simon: Yes, complain to Asus for selling defective PCs | 01:18 |
| SebastianTCL | TJ-, it seemed that S/PDIF was muted | 01:18 |
| simon | TJ-, :( | 01:19 |
| xcelq | SebastianTCL: good job! | 01:19 |
| === administrator is now known as Guest77718 | ||
| TJ- | SebastianTCL: so the mixer controls are mis-labelled, or you are using S/PDIF ? | 01:19 |
| SebastianTCL | xcelq, thanks | 01:19 |
| SebastianTCL | TJ-, this is what shows in alsamixer | 01:19 |
| daftykins | simon: i guess a backup plan would be that you partition and install GRUB to the 1TB HDD, then see if your BIOS lets you press F8 (typically with asus') to pick a boot device and change it to the HDD instead to boot ubuntu | 01:20 |
| SebastianTCL | TJ-, Master, Headphon, Speaker, PCM, Mic, Mic Boos, S/PDIF, Beep, Auto-Mut, Internal, Loopback | 01:21 |
| simon | daftykins, yes, but then I won't have the advantages of SSD... | 01:21 |
| Abe | a harddrive check runs with sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda correct? | 01:21 |
| daftykins | simon: indeed, but it's clearly the kind of laptop made with only Windows in mind :( | 01:22 |
| simon | daftykins, let me get that straight - If I'll remove Windows entirely it won't help at all, right? Because the problem is only on ASUS fault | 01:23 |
| TJ- | simon: correct | 01:23 |
| simon | daftykins, That's too bad. If I knew that maybe I wouldn't buy that from the first place. | 01:24 |
| daftykins | simon: i doubt this will help but we've seen some BIOSs that showed more settings after putting in a password | 01:24 |
| TJ- | simon: they're put an NVMe device behind a standard AHCI/RAID SATA controller and locked it out of native NVMe mode - it looks like the controller isn't true NVMe and they're 'hacked' that together and worked around the 'bug' in their Windows-specific drivers | 01:24 |
| TJ- | simon: another triumph of Marketing over Technical excellence | 01:25 |

| simon | daftykins, it seems that I'll return the PC. Do you have any tips for checking specs for compatibility with linux before I buy the new PC? | 01:32 |
| daftykins | simon: not really, don't use it on the desktop myself | 01:32 |
| simon | daftykins, you're using only Ubuntu server? | 01:33 |

| CrazyTB | I am updating a laptop from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS to 15.04. I was using the GUI for that. However, during the installation, something has broken, and now X11 doesn't start. | 01:34 |
| Abe | I know I should do a long test but I didn't | 01:34 |
| daftykins | Abe: that's nothing, it's a 4K (advanced format) hard disk but is being addressed as 512-byte | 01:34 |
| CrazyTB | How can I recover/continue a dist-upgrade? | 01:34 |
| daftykins | !distupgrade | 01:34 |
| ubottu | A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 01:34 |
| simon | acejudas, it could be hard for laptops, no? | 01:34 |
| CrazyTB | (I'm an advanced user, I'm very familiar with command-line and stuff; I'm just not enough familiar with ubuntu dist-upgrade) | 01:34 |
| daftykins | CrazyTB: i don't think it means what you have in mind :) | 01:34 |
| acejudas | simon, I just joined the convo. figured you were talking about a pc | 01:35 |

| simon | daftykins, ok, I need to go to sleep. Unfortunately I won't use the new computer at work tomorrow :( | 01:36 |
| CrazyTB | daftykins: okay, maybe it is the wrong name. But I used update-manager to update from 14.04 to 15.04. It downloaded the packages and started installing them, until something happened. | 01:36 |
| daftykins | CrazyTB: try "sudo apt-get -f install" | 01:36 |
| CrazyTB | daftykins: I have the logs at /var/log/dist-upgrade, from a quick glance, it seems perl is broken, and probably some libraries too. | 01:36 |
| simon | daftykins, thank you and TJ- for the help. You were very helpful and I appreciate it a lot. | 01:36 |
| Abe | daftykins: I know is this a Problem! Back then I installed 12.04 to find out it does not support EFI... so that kinda screwed the sector size or is it normal? <-- daftykins getting to many request at once ^^ | 01:36 |
| daftykins | simon: np! good luck with the return | 01:37 |
| daftykins | Abe: it's totally normal :) | 01:37 |

| daftykins | actually no, no more, it's bed time for me :D | 01:38 |

| daftykins | pac1: i believe he has retired for the night | 01:40 |
| Abe | daftykins: thank you, I just remember having huge troubles with it when I installed 12.04 back then on EFI ! it always told me I quote: "The partition is misaligned by 512 bytes. This may result in very poor performance. Repartitioning is suggested" | 01:43 |
| daftykins | mmm, possibly too early back then | 01:43 |
| Abe | daftykins: too early? are you talking to me? | 01:44 |
| daftykins | yeah too early having 1204 and EFI, it was all new back then | 01:44 |
| daftykins | ok i have to go, laters \o | 01:45 |

| thurstylark | What's the reccommended way to switch to systemd when on 14.04? | 02:09 |
| teward | thurstylark: the 'recommended way' is actually "You don't, without breaking things." | 02:12 |
| teward | thurstylark: if you want SystemD, you should update to 15.04 or 15.10, or wait for 16.04 to release and then upgrade to that | 02:12 |
| thurstylark | teward: so the reccommended way is nuke and pave with 15.10 :P | 02:12 |
| teward | i didn't say that | 02:12 |
| teward | i said "update to", not "nuke it from orbit and reinstall" | 02:13 |
| teward | I personally would say "Wait for 16.04, then upgrade", but I stick to LTS releases, so... | 02:13 |
| teward | thurstylark: if you wish to nuke it from orbit and repave it with a clean install, then do that with 15.10 | 02:14 |
| teward | or, wait a few more months :p | 02:14 |
| thurstylark | I just prefer reinstalling over upgrading. I'll look into it. | 02:14 |
| de-facto | RedPenguin i can confirm to have seen a mainboard with DVI-D to HDMI cable to play sounds on a samsung tv | 02:14 |

| de-facto | but thats just a guess | 03:19 |
| TRIXston | Any operators in here? | 03:20 |
| nikitha | de-facto: slidinghorn yes seems to be battery problem, but was with dilemma, in win7 it gives notication icon message, in ubuntu its not seen, so it was not clear for me | 03:21 |
| nikitha | de-facto: voltage is not enough ? , but batter is 56% charged, it could atleast wait sometime so that it could be seen that main power supply for unplugged | 03:22 |
| rahuldev | hi | 03:23 |
| rahuldev | anyone please reccommed me good video converter for ubuntu | 03:23 |
| slidinghorn | nikitha: as far as im aware, there isnt a function in Ubuntu tbat would give you a similar error | 03:23 |
| slidinghorn | rahuldev: software recommendations arent really on topic here butwhat are you trying to convert (from which format and to which format?) | 03:26 |
| rahuldev | slidinghorn, I want to convert 1080 size .mp4 to 720 size .mp4 | 03:27 |
| de-facto | nikitha is it an old battery (manufacturing date)?, how often was it charged? ever been low discharged? idk but either it really is not good anymore or the charging controller or even the software may be confused. you may try to use it in full cycles (full charge, discharge until poweroff, immediately full charge, ...) to reactivate/recalibrate. maybe it helps. never leave it empty for longer times (it gets damaged from low discharge) | 03:28 |
| rahuldev | slidinghorn, do you know any channel where I can ask for recommendations of software of ubuntu, linux. | 03:28 |
| de-facto | nikitha keep in mind that the percentage is just a rough estimate, reality of battery power is a lot more complex | 03:30 |
| slidinghorn | rahuldev: you could dp that with ffmpeg. Im on my phone right now so I cant really do more than say to google "ffmpeg convert 1080p to 720p" (without quotes) | 03:31 |

| Sick | Anyone able to help me out with a hardware issue due to installation? Dell precision 7910, UEFI... trying to get 15.10 to install. I can install, but it won't recognize bootable drive. I put a UEFI boot disk to get access. :/ | 03:32 |
| yoyot | what is UEFI? | 03:33 |
| SchrodingersScat | !UEFI | yoyot | 03:33 |
| ubottu | yoyot: 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 | 03:33 |
| Sick | yoyot, not a lot of fun with Linux is what it is. ;) | 03:33 |
| yoyot | right | 03:34 |
| MichaelWang2016 | :) | 03:35 |
| Sick | I think the problem with my machine might be the raid controller more than UEFI, but I'm not sure. Been fighting this for 2 weeks now. | 03:36 |
| Sick | Alledgeadly, 12.04.2 works with my box... but I think that's only if you have a special build from Dell. | 03:36 |
| yoyot | sick what system you are using right now? | 03:41 |
| Sick | ArchLinux on my laptop. | 03:41 |

| nikitha | this is about firefox, adobe flash might be ?, system performance goes down, mean firefox brower on opening 6-10 tabs or 4-5 firefox browser windows freezes , hanges, sometimes right hand side scroll wont move up down smoothly , what could be problem ? i dont have much plugins installed. is firefox using more cpu or flash videos are running ? could through any browser disk files are accessible or log files created on disk ? mostly on freeze kill fire | 03:52 |
| MichaelWang2016 | hello everyone | 03:58 |
| de-facto | nikitha flash is dying anyways, disable it. if you really need more current version try chromium with pepperflash-plugin. but flash is a mess, loads of security breaches and its horrible all together, id just uninstall it alltogether | 04:01 |
| Klumsy | is there a tutorial on how to install ubuntu on a windows 10 machine | 04:01 |
| Klumsy | i know the bios is different these days | 04:02 |
| de-facto | even adobe seems to make it downloadable only with accounts next year i heard | 04:02 |
| Klumsy | i cant even find the command to enter the setup | 04:02 |
| nikitha | spoke to one of my friend who faces similar firefox/flash freezing, slowing problem , he mentioned he disables flash plugin and work, if one has to disable one option , then how could i see flash based related things .... | 04:02 |
| MichaelWang2016 | :P | 04:04 |
| de-facto | Klumsy you really have to shutdown windows, normally it just gets into a sleep mode. try "shutdown /s /t 10" or something like that. then when you enable it you may press the bios setup button | 04:04 |
| rahuldev | thanks slidinghorn | 04:04 |
| Klumsy | what is the bios setup button? | 04:05 |
| de-facto | depends on your computer | 04:05 |
| de-facto | google it, read manual idk | 04:06 |
| nikitha | de-facto: i totally agree with you, in past 2years i got 4-5 times security issues with flash plugin , it says please upgrade, current version has been security less whatever i dont remember exact error message | 04:06 |
| Klumsy | ok so F2, F10, DEL, F12 all at the same time | 04:06 |
| Klumsy | so, win10 sleeps on a hard power off? | 04:06 |
| Klumsy | like if i jerk the bat and cable? | 04:06 |
| de-facto | if it boots really fast. yes | 04:06 |
| de-facto | you should not do that | 04:06 |

| Klumsy | you explain how knoppix can see an ntfs disk perfectly and i plug it in win10 and it tries to format it | 04:10 |

| Sniper41m | how to use console (connected to switch) using terminal or putty ? | 04:57 |
| hicoleri | when I try to right-click in openbox it shows "Attempted to access menu root-menu but it does not exist". I tried replacing it with a default menu.xml but it didn't work. | 04:58 |
| hicoleri | How do I fix it? | 04:58 |
| slidinghorn | Sniper41m: Sorry, but your question doesnt make sense. what are you trying to do? | 04:59 |
| Sniper41m | thanks for the reply slidinghorn, actually i am trying to access raisecom 2100 series switch, i have connected wires, since i am using ubuntu, i want to access switch using terminal or putty | 05:00 |
| slidinghorn | hicoleri: this may be better answered on #openbox on the oftc server or #lubuntu but can you pastebin the contents of ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml? | 05:00 |
| slidinghorn | Sniper41m: are you using ssh? if so, in an ubuntu terminal: ssh username@hostaddress | 05:02 |
| hicoleri | slidinghorn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14157847/ (the bracket and the dashes on the top were put by me, and aren't in the original file) | 05:03 |

| totofoo | Hello | 07:19 |
| youngcj | have a problem with sound on my ubuntu | 07:20 |
| totofoo | I have a little trouble with firefox 43.0 and ubuntu 14.04. I'd like to know if other people have this problem too. | 07:27 |
| totofoo | To resume: a second user has all his downloads that fail contrary to the first user. | 07:27 |
| totofoo | Long explanation: | 07:27 |
| totofoo | If I launch ubutun, I login as "user-A" I download something with firefox. It's ok | 07:27 |
| totofoo | Now I log out from "user-A" and log in as "user-B" (without restarting ubuntu), then all my downloads fail via firefox (while wget still works). | 07:27 |
| totofoo | Could you check if you have this trouble too please? | 07:27 |
| mahdi | xangua, how i can know about this | 07:27 |
| Bruce_ | Okay, ubuntu download complete. Upon trying to instal, a comand prompt window popped up, then closed 1 second later. Other than that, nothing else happened. Waited 10 minutes, still nothing happened, so I shut down laptop | 07:27 |
| IIT | how to kill a zombie process ? | 07:28 |
| totofoo | IIT: kill -9 | 07:29 |
| xangua | mahdi: the channel topic itself mentions what releases are supported | 07:29 |
| IIT | totofoo, what is -9 here ? | 07:30 |
| totofoo | IIT: an option which kills without waiting. | 07:31 |
| IIT | ko | 07:31 |
| IIT | ok | 07:31 |
| totofoo | IIT: if you know the pid of your process, let say it ABC, then you do: "kill ABC", and if you still have the process you try "kill -9 ABC" | 07:32 |
| IIT | totofoo, that's more clear :) | 07:32 |
| totofoo | I have a trouble with my firefox when I switch to another user, then all downloads fail. Could you check if you have the same trouble please? | 07:33 |

| FoxWolf2001 | I'd like to replace our old Server with a new one, new hardware included. It was never touched again since a year. It's a server for all things, also router (behind our ISPs router), DHCP, DNS, web server (Intranet WWW) and some other services like CRM database(s). Now I heard something about Dnsmasq, but never used it or seen that in action. Is it a food solution for a small business to setup DHCP and DNS quickly and stable? | 07:39 |

| krampuss | how do i "un-keepback" updates? | 07:39 |

| krampuss | totofoo: i've also grep'd for packages... http://paste.ubuntu.com/14159686/ | 07:44 |
| krampuss | but how can i free up the space? | 07:44 |
| totofoo | krampuss: then personnaly I check my current version with "uname -r" and I remove with "rm" old versions | 07:44 |
| totofoo | krampuss: if you're up to date, your current version should be "3.13.0-74", then you go into "/boot/" and as super user, you do a "rm" for older versions | 07:46 |

| lokien_ | Hello! What graphics drivers should I use? I've got Nvidia GT218 (GeForce 210) and I'm having low fps issues on nvidia-340 drivers | 09:43 |
| RepThis1 | gross, i had to come back to ubuntu. | 09:43 |
| nugzar_ | no | 09:43 |
| nugzar_ | i open #hardware | 09:44 |
| Ben64 | lokien_: the 210 isn't a great card... | 09:44 |
| Bluewolf | cmdswitch: Okay where and how would I change that? | 09:45 |
| lokien_ | Ben64: I know, but 15fps here, 50 on windows | 09:45 |
| cmdswitch | Bluewolf: In Docky.Services/Docky.Services/SystemService.cs | 09:45 |
| Ben64 | lokien_: can you elaborate | 09:45 |
| cmdswitch | Bluewolf: follow instructions on the link I sent | 09:45 |
| lokien_ | Ben64: Running games, I have very low fps compared to what I have had on windows. | 09:46 |
| Ben64 | lokien_: that isn't very elaborat-ey | 09:46 |
| lokien_ | Ben64: League of Legends, CS:GO, stuff like that. If you want to know more, ask specific questions | 09:47 |
| Ben64 | i'm not going to fight with you to help you man, give full details | 09:47 |

| nugzar_ | how i can do it& | 09:48 |
| nugzar_ | ? | 09:48 |
| lokien_ | Ben64: What is "full details"? Sorry, I really don't know what do you mean by that. | 09:48 |
| cmdswitch | Bluewolf: (replicating issue) Did you install Docky from the PPA? | 09:49 |
| cfhowlett | nugzar_, what is your spoken language?? | 09:49 |
| lokien_ | Ben64: Do you want screens? Output of specfic commands? | 09:50 |
| nugzar_ | Russian | 09:50 |
| Bluewolf | cmdswitch: No form the software centre | 09:51 |
| Bluewolf | nugzar_: Well my PC did the same on a fresh install (Ubuntu 14.04 Gnome/Ubuntu 14.04 Unity/Linux Mint/ Debian Wheezy - and so on) All I did was get the drivers installed before it froze. | 09:51 |

| RepThis1 | anyone know how to reset about:config for firefox instead of clicking each individual setting, ffs. | 09:55 |
| Ben64 | lokien_: linux version, kernel version, computer specs, video card(s) if you have multiple, how are you running the games, are you using compiz or any other compositing thingy | 09:56 |
| nugzar_ | Hwo can i get drivers installed? in Unity UI Additional Drivers it isn't any available drivers | 09:57 |
| cfhowlett | RepThis1, home/repthis1/.mozilla/firefox kill the profiles.ini and restart | 09:57 |
| nugzar_ | <cfhowlett> doesn't you understand me ? | 09:57 |
| cmdswitch | Bluewolf: sudo apt-get remove docky -y && sudo apt-get install docky -y | 09:57 |
| cmdswitch | Bluewolf: see if that makes a difference | 09:57 |
| cfhowlett | nugzar_, you might try the #ubuntu-ru for help | 09:57 |
| RepThis1 | cfhowlett: sounds just like restoring everything from firefox including addons. | 09:57 |

| Shady | cmdswitch, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14161143/ | 09:58 |
| lokien_ | Ben64: standard, almost fresh ubuntu 15.10 64-bit install. Nvidia GT128, nothing else, cpu from amd. Running CS strictly from steam, LoL from play on linux. | 09:59 |
| Bluewolf | cmdswitch: sudo apt-get remove docky -y | 09:59 |
| Bluewolf | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 09:59 |
| cmdswitch | Bluewolf: so you have broken deps, run that and fix then | 09:59 |
| cmdswitch | them*( | 10:00 |
| nugzar_ | ok, thanks | 10:00 |
| lokien_ | Ben64: and 4 gigs of ram. | 10:00 |
| Ben64 | lokien_: so you have unity | 10:00 |
| cmdswitch | Shady: and your wanting to do what with the .mov file? | 10:00 |
| cmdswitch | Shady: just play it? | 10:01 |
| mihael_k33hl | I have 8 Gb of ram but the free command shows a total of 1877 only | 10:02 |
| Shady | cmdswitch, play it and when i tried with vlc there were no voice | 10:02 |
| lokien_ | Ben64: Yeah, everything standard | 10:02 |
| Ben64 | lokien_: unity is kind of heavy, maybe try switching to something lighter | 10:03 |
| Bluewolf | cmdswitch: Nah, didn't work - http://paste.ubuntu.com/14161206/ | 10:03 |
| cmdswitch | Shady: have you tried converting the source via FFmpeg instead of avconv? | 10:04 |
| lokien_ | Ben64: So, drivers are good? Glxgears shows 60fps all the time | 10:04 |
| Shady | cmdswitch, yes with vlc still no audio | 10:04 |
| Ben64 | lokien_: glxgears isn't really a good test | 10:05 |
| cmdswitch | Bluewolf: sudo dpkg --configure -a (what did this say?) | 10:05 |
| lokien_ | Ben64: what is? | 10:05 |
| Ben64 | lokien_: but yeah, you're not going to find better drivers | 10:05 |
| Bluewolf | cmdswitch: Nothing? | 10:05 |
| cmdswitch | Bluewolf: it should say more than nothing, should tell you want needs fixing or what it fixed | 10:06 |
| lokien_ | Ben64: thanks for help then, appreciate that | 10:06 |
| Bluewolf | cmdswitch: But it allowed me to remove and reinstall Docky | 10:06 |
| Bluewolf | Bluewolf: Nothing came up after I entered the command | 10:07 |
| Ben64 | lokien_: the playonlinux thing, you should check their forums/irc/something, it isnt supported here and can have wildly different performance to running natively | 10:07 |
| cmdswitch | Bluewolf: follow instructions and install your missing component then: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/upower.html | 10:08 |
| lokien_ | Ben64: okay, I'll do that | 10:09 |
| RepThis1 | screw it, im gonna purge firefox | 10:09 |
| Caelum | if I get the popup "system program problem detected", where can I see the log of what the actual problem is | 10:10 |
| cmdswitch | Shady: besides trying to reencode the source with a different audio codec (like LameMP3 or something else), I'm at a loss, sorry. | 10:11 |
| Shady | cmdswitch, thanks mate for your time and help | 10:12 |

| mateus | not using mageia anymore ... i told the guy pendrive insue to remake que usb iso | 10:45 |
| AndChat607476 | guest: what option? | 10:45 |
| mateus | ubuntu its very easy to istall programs | 10:46 |
| guest | AndChat607476: When you boot there is an option for a live session, an option for installation, and an option for integrity check | 10:46 |
| AndChat607476 | Okay. But my USB isn't getting recognized. | 10:46 |
| guest | OK so you can't boot from it at all? | 10:47 |
| RepThis1 | it would be great if ubuntu put their checksums on the page that auto starts the download | 10:47 |
| guest | AndChat607476: What are you trying to do, and what error are you getting? | 10:47 |
| AndChat607476 | guest: And will my data be lost forever? | 10:47 |

| SebastianTCL | cmdswitch, it isnt | 10:52 |

| cmdswitch | SebastianTCL: Did you edit the /etc/default/grub file and run update-grub ? | 10:52 |
| guest | AndChat607476: and seeing if you can update your backup | 10:52 |
| SebastianTCL | cmdswitch, yes | 10:52 |
| AndChat607476 | I don't take backups! I feel ashamed now. -_- | 10:52 |
| cmdswitch | SebastianTCL: Did you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 ? | 10:53 |
| guest | That's OK, there's people who back up, and people who haven't lost data yet. | 10:53 |
| guest | You used to be the latter, but now you're the former | 10:53 |
| cmdswitch | SebastianTCL: option 2: Pressing the ESC key during a 3 second window as GRUB 2 runs. | 10:54 |

| AndChat607476 | Eric^^: I'm in the grub rescue> | 11:11 |
| Caelum | I made this file, ~/.local/share/applications/vba-m.desktop with this contents https://gist.github.com/2b9e768dcc459b14ba12 but it doesn't show up under Games | 11:11 |
| EriC^^ | AndChat607476: hmm, that's not the live usb i think | 11:11 |
| Caelum | I tried both with and without the semicolon in Categories | 11:11 |
| EriC^^ | AndChat607476: when you boot the live usb, what do you first get? try / install ubuntu ? | 11:11 |
| AndChat607476 | I don't get anything. I just gewt the drdy error | 11:12 |
| AndChat607476 | It's showing gtub rescue | 11:12 |
| AndChat607476 | Grub rescue> | 11:12 |
| AndChat607476 | You want me to enter something? | 11:12 |
| EriC^^ | it shouldn't be giving grub rescue | 11:13 |
| EriC^^ | are you sure the live usb works on another pc? | 11:13 |
| AndChat607476 | It's also showing attemp to read and write outside of disk hd0 | 11:13 |
| EriC^^ | oh | 11:13 |
| Bluewolf | cmdswitch: Done, what next? | 11:14 |
| EriC^^ | try typing echo $prefix | 11:14 |
| EriC^^ | AndChat607476: ^ | 11:14 |
| AndChat607476 | Eric:what does that mean | 11:15 |
| EriC^^ | it shows the variable prefix | 11:15 |
| EriC^^ | it's what grub uses to get the modules for "normal" grub and it could drop to rescue if it can't find them | 11:15 |
| cmdswitch | Bluewolf: run docky, and see what it says | 11:16 |
| SebastianTCL | cmdswitch, here's what i did: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14161839/ and here | 11:16 |
| SebastianTCL | is the grub file http://paste.ubuntu.com/14161824/ | 11:16 |
| Caelum | aha, I needed Categories=Game instead of Categories=Games | 11:16 |
| EriC^^ | AndChat607476: if you have another pc, try the live usb on it, what are you trying to do ultimately btw? | 11:16 |
| SebastianTCL | cmdswitch, grub doesnt come up even if i press shift and when i try to log in as my username the mouse doesnt move | 11:16 |
| Bluewolf | cmdswitch: Ah this just gets better - http://paste.ubuntu.com/14161879/ | 11:17 |
| AndChat607476 | EriC: I'm desperately trying to find out if my hdd is alive or is it dead. I have no idea how to find it. That's my ultimate goal. I don't care if my laptop dies its alllready 5 years old. All I want now is my data | 11:17 |
| cmdswitch | SebastianTCL, Change to GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 and GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=false update-grub and retry | 11:18 |
| evax_ | are there known issues with dual-booting windows 10 with ubuntu? | 11:18 |
| cmdswitch | Bluewolf: look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/docky/+bug/1309706 and follow the last person's comments | 11:19 |

| cmdswitch | Bluewolf: else I have no other options for you, sorry | 11:20 |
| EriC^^ | AndChat607476: try the live usb on another pc, if it's bad make a new one and boot it | 11:20 |
| SebastianTCL | cmdswitch, brb | 11:21 |
| EriC^^ | then run sudo apt-get install smartmontools , sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | 11:21 |
| EriC^^ | and check the health of your hdd | 11:21 |
| AndChat607476 | EriC: okay what about the above suggestion? is there any alternative as the live boot from the USB isn't working! Can I like remove my hdd from the laptop by screwing it off of it? Will that work? Can I connect it to a external USB hdd drive. Will it cause any data corruption by pulling apart the hdd? | 11:22 |
| Bluewolf | cmdswitch: It mentions changing stuff in Docky.Services/Docky.Services/SystemService.cs. How do I get to its location manually or by terminal? | 11:22 |
| EriC^^ | AndChat607476: if you remove the hdd, it could boot, but how would you check the hdd's health? | 11:22 |
| cmdswitch | Bluewolf: what ubuntu version are you running? | 11:24 |
| AndChat607476 | I'll use a external hdd USB bay | 11:24 |
| SebastianTCL | cmdshftn_, didnt work, got a 3 2 1 0 count down, no grub, even if i pressed shift | 11:27 |
| cmdswitch | SebastianTCL: and you remove the # in front of GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 | 11:28 |
| SebastianTCL | maybe i typed it wrong? http://paste.ubuntu.com/14161968/ | 11:28 |

| Skyrider | ugh.. | 11:30 |
| Skyrider | So I'm screwed | 11:30 |
| test1717 | Sudo is basically the super user.. if u have forgotten passord u can reser it | 11:31 |
| cmdswitch | SebastianTCL: sudo grub-mkconfig, but after that I'm out of options, sorry | 11:31 |
| Skyrider | I haven't fogotten it.. | 11:31 |

| Skyrider | cmdswitch: Thanks, but I need to contact the 'owner' for that to happen.. the one-time only basis.. meaning what exactly? Only 1x request and perm sudo? | 11:33 |
| cmdswitch | Skyrider: else work within the user accounts you create | 11:33 |
| EriC^^ | AndChat607476: have you used the external bay with it before? | 11:33 |
| cmdswitch | Skyrider: 1 time = Do X command then I'm turning it back off | 11:33 |
| cmdswitch | Skyrider: else switch to digitalocean and be done | 11:34 |
| cfhowlett | Skyrider, pkexec might work | 11:34 |

| Skyrider | Well, thanks.. I'll check it out. Still dunno why DH removed sudo.. their VPS's is now "shared" hosting.. but that's my opinion | 11:36 |
| cmdswitch | Skyrider: that's why I moved most of my gear to digitalocean | 11:37 |

| IronicBadger | got it - sed 's@.*/@@' | 11:42 |

| test1717 | Wow ubuntu does have the power to be used for self driving cars | 11:46 |
| IronicBadger | geirha: why | 11:46 |
| geirha | IronicBadger: anyway, "${var##*/}" expands the content of var with everything up to the last / removed | 11:46 |
| IronicBadger | nice | 11:46 |
| geirha | IronicBadger: Because you risk overriding environment variables and special shell variables, such as PATH ... | 11:46 |
| IronicBadger | thats a good reason | 11:47 |

| soee | how can i create swap partition after my ssytem was installed | 14:25 |
| cfhowlett | !swap | soee | 14:25 |
| ubottu | soee: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 14:25 |
| athosole | when I press the start command I get a notification Dicsconnected - you are now offline | 14:26 |
| cmdswitch | athosole, good | 14:26 |
| cmdswitch | athosole, see if you can find your wireless network now | 14:26 |
| cmdswitch | athosole, by clicking on the wireless icon | 14:26 |
| curlyears | any ideas why this install DVD is suddenly breaking every install I do? can ubuntu 14.04.2 not handle 3TB HDDs? | 14:26 |
| cmdswitch | soee: also try http://askubuntu.com/questions/33697/how-do-i-add-a-swap-partition-after-system-installation | 14:27 |
| curlyears | I am not seeing ny errors until I try to boot from the HDD after install completion | 14:27 |
| athosole | still the same :/ | 14:27 |
| athosole | it doesnt show me any available networks | 14:27 |
| curlyears | athosole: maybe there aren't any within range? | 14:27 |
| mbk | Both my FireFox and Chromium Web Browser keep crashing and turn off! How do I resolve this? | 14:27 |
| waressearcher2 | why would I need swap partition ? | 14:28 |
| cmdswitch | athosole, type sudo service network-manager stop; sudo ifconfig wlan0 up; sudo service network-manager start | 14:28 |

| athosole | i get this "lo Link encap: Local Loopback" | 14:31 |
| cmdswitch | athosole, so no network drivers whatsoever, hmm | 14:31 |
| curlyears | cmdswitch: you seem quite knowledgeable. After you're done with athosole, do you thnikk you could take a stab at my issue? | 14:32 |
| athosole | Yesterday I tried to install 14.04 which it seems that the wireless was working, and then I decided to install the 15.10 which the wireless is not working | 14:33 |
| cmdswitch | curlyears, did you google it to see if 14 or 15 will support 3TB drives? | 14:33 |
| waressearcher2 | lotuspsychje: you have any questions ? why you here ? | 14:33 |
| athosole | and the problem is that I dont have any ethernet port | 14:33 |

| cmdswitch | curlyears, did you look at http://askubuntu.com/questions/84538/trouble-creating-3tb-ext4-partition-due-to-msdos-partition-table-imposed-error ? | 14:36 |
| curlyears | cmdswitch: no, but that isn't the problem I'm haviong..a 3TB parttition is indeed geneerated, to which I can cd | 14:37 |
| curlyears | MSDOS doesn't support partitions that lareg | 14:37 |
| cmdswitch | curlyears, correct, so please remind me what issue your having? | 14:37 |
| curlyears | cmdswitch: since testerday, I have tried installing four separate times, and each time, the install fails to boot, with different errors/behaviour each time, despite no erros on install | 14:39 |
| curlyears | no REPORTED errors on install | 14:39 |
| cmdswitch | curlyears, so when you boot, what errors are you seeing? | 14:39 |
| curlyears | one tyime it does't issue any error I can see, it just stopped booting ubuntu and dropped me into a grub prompt | 14:40 |
| curlyears | the most recent one | 14:40 |
| cmdswitch | curlyears, does it ever get past grub? | 14:40 |
| curlyears | cmdswitch: not so far as I can tell ( in this install) why would the installs differ? I am using the same install DVD and choosing the same options each time | 14:41 |
| cmdswitch | curlyears, hmm strange indeed. Are you using legacy or UEFI ? | 14:43 |
| cmdswitch | curlyears, and does your BIOS recognize your drive as 3TB? | 14:44 |
| curlyears | cmdswitch: I am not sure..probably uefi. it is a plain vanilla trusty 14.04.2 install...what ever that defaults to | 14:44 |
| linuxhp | is ubuntu 16.04 os comes or not? | 14:44 |
| curlyears | I know this hardware supports uefi | 14:44 |

| cmdswitch | linuxhp, yes its out, but its not been released to stable yet | 14:46 |
| yao_ziyuan | lotuspsychje: yeah but particularly i'm interested in unity themes like Ambiance and Radiance. | 14:46 |
| ishaq_ | whats the best site for linux updates? like opensource.com | 14:48 |
| yao_ziyuan | the Radiance theme is particularly suitable with a snow-white christmas wallpaper, but unfortunately there isn't such a wallpaper in 15.10's default wallpaper collection. | 14:48 |

| deskwizard | ask me what ? | 14:57 |
| waressearcher2 | !ask | deskwizard | 14:57 |

| curlyears | I guess I am going to heve to go bavk there and then write all that crap down, no printer avail. | 14:57 |
| deskwizard | waressearcher2, I am aware, thank you | 14:58 |
| deskwizard | (is the polite way of putting what I have in mind...) | 14:58 |
| cmdswitch | curlyears, just pen and paper it, is normally what I have to do | 14:58 |
| prsteele | cmdswitch: unsure that applies to me, since I'm not running the scripts from /etc/init.d | 14:58 |
| cmdswitch | prsteele, what version of ubuntu are you running? | 14:59 |
| curlyears | cmdswitch: yes, but you haven't seem my hadwriting..nearly illegible, even to me | 14:59 |
| prsteele | cmdswitch: 15.10 | 14:59 |
| deskwizard | Long story short, transmission-daemon stop responding while moving data (either from incomplete to finished folder or manual move)... anything I can do ? | 14:59 |
| waressearcher2 | deskwizard: restart | 14:59 |
| deskwizard | waressearcher2, still being useless ug | 14:59 |
| deskwizard | 2nd strike | 15:00 |
| cmdswitch | deskwizard, could rsync move your data for you? | 15:00 |
| prsteele | cmdswitch: and 'sudo stat /proc/1/exe' -> /sbin/upstart do I have switched from systemd | 15:00 |
| prsteele | /s/do/so | 15:00 |
| ikonia | deskwizard: has it changed the torrent status to complete, but just not moved the data from the in progress directory to the complete directory | 15:00 |
| cmdswitch | prsteele, systemctl enable <service> ? | 15:01 |
| deskwizard | ikonia, its working fine, the daemon just doesnt respond to the client while its moving the data thats all | 15:01 |
| prsteele | cmdswitch: I might have figured it out, I think I need to add my session to /something/something/upstart-sessions | 15:02 |
| ikonia | deskwizard: I wouldn't be massively surprised by that, depending on your resources/i-o | 15:02 |

| curlyears | abi: why not? | 15:07 |
| deskwizard | ikonia, sorry if I'm being thick here but, because it only happens when moving data around ? | 15:07 |
| cmdswitch | abi_, When you installed linux, did you make a seperate partition for your future windows install? | 15:07 |
| ikonia | deskwizard: that doesn't mean I/O is the blocker | 15:07 |
| abi_ | I have alread installed windows 8.1 | 15:08 |
| cmdswitch | abi_, ok | 15:08 |
| linuxhp | abi you first open wndows os and then note that how many drives are there and which one is free space ...and note that size . this helpful for installing ubuntu os | 15:08 |
| deskwizard | ikonia, uhm, okay, what else could it be ? | 15:08 |
| ikonia | deskwizard: you need to disagnose it | 15:08 |
| ikonia | deskwizard: rather than just assuming things as fact | 15:08 |
| ikonia | such as "I know it's I/O" | 15:08 |
| ikonia | when I/O maybe fine, or caused by blocking resources | 15:08 |
| abi_ | ok | 15:08 |
| cmdswitch | abi_, in Win 8.1, there is a system tool to resize your windows partitions, please use it to free up space for your ubuntu install | 15:09 |
| abi_ | cmdswitch_, i have right now 4 drive c,d,e and h | 15:09 |
| cmdswitch | abi_, how much is on D:? | 15:09 |
| deskwizard | ikonia, so basically, you don't know and it makes me wrong... alright... | 15:09 |
| abi_ | i want to install it in h: | 15:09 |
| abi_ | which is 40 g | 15:09 |
| linuxhp | your hard drives names are dev/sda like this. if you know free space size then you can install os | 15:09 |
| deskwizard | well I guess I was wrong in the first place since I dont know either hehehe | 15:09 |

| curlyears | cmdswitch: I am no using ubuntu server. does that matter? | 15:15 |

| cfhowlett | abi_, I'm going to guess that your "missing" 40 gb is unformatted, unallocated space, but it IS present. fire up gparted and examine your HDD | 15:51 |
| abi_ | so what is the solution | 15:52 |
| abi_ | can you detailgive me n | 15:52 |
| abi_ | i am new | 15:52 |
| cfhowlett | abi_, system > gparted | 15:52 |
| prsteele | abi_: just don't format anything until you know what you really want to do. But just bringing that up should show you how space is allocated on each drive | 15:53 |
| abi_ | ok let me try | 15:53 |
| abi_ | cfhowlett_, check the gpart screenshot http://imgur.com/5Ya0btP | 15:54 |

| acetakwas | the last one seems to be making progress | 16:47 |
| gracie2347 | I can't do it | 16:47 |
| bekks | klumsy: sudo lsblkid | 16:48 |
| ioria | abi_, did you do that in windows ? | 16:48 |
| bekks | klumsy: And sisk do not have UUIDs, filesystems do. | 16:48 |
| abi_ | no | 16:48 |
| ioria | abi_, with the installer gparted ? | 16:49 |
| abi_ | sorry | 16:49 |
| abi_ | i am new in ubuntu | 16:49 |
| abi_ | So i don;t know | 16:49 |
| klumsy | command not found | 16:49 |
| acetakwas | slidinghorn, nicomachus :: After apt-get update now, I'm getting: http://hastebin.com/uhotonutib.rb | 16:49 |
| abi_ | what are they | 16:49 |
| ioria | abi_, how did you do the dedicated partition ? | 16:49 |
| abi_ | in windows | 16:49 |
| bekks | klumsy: My bad, use sudo blkid | 16:49 |
| abi_ | i shrink the volume of c drive | 16:50 |
| abi_ | and made h drive | 16:50 |
| abi_ | of 40 gb for ubuntu | 16:50 |
| klumsy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14168011/ | 16:50 |
| ioria | abi_, ok.... not showing up while installing ? | 16:50 |
| nicomachus | abi_: that doesn't apply to Ubuntu. | 16:50 |
| abi_ | so | 16:50 |
| abi_ | what is the option | 16:50 |
| abi_ | i checked many video in youtube | 16:51 |
| abi_ | and every one suggested same | 16:51 |
| bekks | klumsy: So pastebin the entire "dmesg" output please. | 16:51 |
| nicomachus | bekks: it's here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14166953/ | 16:51 |
| bekks | As can be clearly seen, that disk is dead. | 16:52 |
| nicomachus | yea, see line 769... | 16:52 |
| ioria | abi_, ok.... not showing up while installing ? | 16:52 |
| bekks | nicomachus: Yeah. | 16:53 |
| klumsy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14168121/ | 16:53 |
| abi_ | no | 16:53 |
| abi_ | it shows | 16:53 |
| bekks | klumsy: Replace the disk. It is dead. | 16:53 |
| OerHeks | abi_, if you have 4 primairy partitions already, ubuntu does not see free space. delete that 40 gb and try again. | 16:53 |
| klumsy | there's no way | 16:53 |
| klumsy | it works perfectly in 2 other systems | 16:53 |
| abi_ | I tried that also | 16:53 |
| bekks | klumsy: It obviously is dead. | 16:53 |
| abi_ | doesnt work | 16:53 |
| ioria | abi_, can you paste sudo parted -l ? | 16:53 |
| bekks | klumsy: Look at your own dmesg paste. | 16:53 |
| nicomachus | klumsy: last shot: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g | 16:53 |
| abi_ | wait | 16:53 |
| klumsy | im telling you that that message is clearly wrong | 16:54 |
| acetakwas | nicomachus, slidinghorn:: It works now. Thanks | 16:54 |
| klumsy | all the files are intact and work fine in knoppix and windows | 16:54 |
| bekks | klumsy: Then believe in it. I believe in system messages only. That disk is dead. | 16:54 |
| nicomachus | bekks: if he didn't have the right drivers installed to read NTFS it would show that. | 16:54 |
| klumsy | thats what they are saying on the forums, that ntfs-3g has a problem | 16:55 |
| abi_ | ioria : please check this http://imgur.com/Oz9vb2H | 16:55 |
| klumsy | why would it work if i use the 13.10 live disk? | 16:55 |
| bekks | nicomachus: No. | 16:55 |
| nicomachus | klumsy: did you install ntfs-3g? | 16:55 |
| bekks | nicomachus: IO errors on blocks are not related to "the corect driver". | 16:55 |
| klumsy | isn't that installed defualt in 15.10 ? | 16:55 |
| bekks | nicomachus: That disk is physically damaged. | 16:55 |
| klumsy | the disk is not damaged | 16:56 |
| klumsy | the disk is healthy | 16:56 |
| bekks | It is. Look at your paste. | 16:56 |
| abi_ | ioria : please check this http://imgur.com/Oz9vb2H | 16:56 |
| klumsy | that has to be wrong | 16:56 |
| bekks | klumsy: Or prove it with running badblocks on the entire disl. | 16:56 |
| bekks | *disk | 16:56 |
| ioria | abi_, and you have windows 8 on that disk ? | 16:56 |
| nicomachus | klumsy: does it work on Windows as of right now? | 16:56 |
| bekks | klumsy: Unless you do, that disk can safely considered to be damaged. | 16:56 |
| klumsy | yes | 16:56 |
| klumsy | and knopppix | 16:56 |
| Nik05 | hello. Im connected with someones system. And he has upgrade problems. | 16:56 |
| klumsy | and 13.10 | 16:57 |
| Nik05 | apt-get dist-upgrade removes a lot | 16:57 |
| abi_ | yes ioria | 16:57 |
| nicomachus | Nik05: what are the problems? all on one line, please. | 16:57 |
| Nik05 | he is running trusty. anyone an idea how to fix this? | 16:57 |
| ioria | abi_, sorry for asking, where is the 40 g partition ? | 16:57 |
| Nik05 | nicomachus running apt-get dist-upgrade wants to remove a lot of packages | 16:58 |
| nicomachus | Nik05: why is that a problem? | 16:58 |
| abi_ | atexactly ioria i am asking that | 16:58 |
| Nik05 | because it remove ubuntu-desktop etc | 16:58 |
| abi_ | I can see that in windows | 16:58 |
| nicomachus | Nik05: is it installing new versions? Paste the output to a pastebin and link it here. | 16:58 |
| ioria | abi_, so, i imagine you don't have a uefi capable motherboard.... correct ? | 16:58 |
| Nik05 | nicomachus no its upgrading nothing. Oke let me make a paste | 16:59 |
| abi_ | yes my mother board is compatible with uefi | 16:59 |
| Nik05 | oh wait nicomachus i think this is a frankenubuntu... Old versions mixed or somethign | 16:59 |
| abi_ | this is dell laptop i5 it was deliveer with ubuntu as defauly os | 16:59 |
| abi_ | but the retailler installed windows and gave to me | 17:00 |
| abi_ | it still has ubuntu sticker in it | 17:00 |
| ioria | abi_, and he installed win8 in legacy mode ? | 17:00 |
| abi_ | yes | 17:00 |
| slidinghorn | Nik05: If there are mixed versions, your friend is likely better off reinstalling altogether. Mixing version sources is a recipe for disaster | 17:00 |
| nicomachus | ^ | 17:00 |
| ioria | abi_, why ? he told you ? | 17:00 |
| abi_ | what he told me | 17:01 |
| abi_ | ? | 17:01 |
| Nik05 | slidinghorn the sources.list is not mixed but he upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04 | 17:01 |
| ioria | abi_, why he installed win8 in legacy mode and not in efi mode .... | 17:01 |
| nicomachus | Nik05: let's see the paste. | 17:01 |
| nicomachus | Nik05: and a paste of the full output of apt-get update as well | 17:01 |
| abi_ | i don't know it may because in nepal there are small portion of linux user may be 1 of 5000 | 17:02 |
| Nik05 | oke let me make | 17:02 |
| ioria | abi_, with efi and gpt you don't have anymore number partition problem.... you can have as many as you like .... | 17:03 |
| abi_ | SO what is the solutiion ioria | 17:03 |
| zykotick9 | ioria: s/efi and// | 17:03 |
| abi_ | in efi there was ubuntu | 17:04 |
| abi_ | but i reset the bios in factory mode | 17:04 |
| Nik05 | Here is the paste http://paste.debian.net/hidden/ffc80b5e/ | 17:04 |
| Nik05 | apt-get -s dist-upgrade | 17:04 |
| ioria | abi_, i'm tempted to tell you to re-enable uefi -> reinstall win and -> install ubuntu ... | 17:05 |
| Nik05 | nicomachus i will also make an apt-get update paste | 17:06 |
| zykotick9 | Nik05: they've removed "something" from the ubuntu-desktop metapackage, thus apt-get wants to remove all of it... this is the reason breaking metapackages isn't the greatest idea. | 17:06 |
| ioria | abi_, but maybe to much trouble | 17:06 |
| ioria | *o | 17:06 |
| abi_ | So we cannot install in lagecy mode | 17:06 |
| nicomachus | Nik05: yea.. .please. this looks really odd. | 17:06 |
| ioria | abi_, sure you could | 17:06 |
| edirne | hi | 17:06 |
| abi_ | So | 17:06 |
| abi_ | window is in lagecy mode | 17:07 |
| abi_ | now i have to add ubuntu | 17:07 |
| ioria | abi_, what's on the partition 3 and 4 ? | 17:07 |
| abi_ | ok | 17:07 |
| g105b | Why do I get this message when using apt-get sometimes: packageName : Depends: AnotherPackage (= 1.2.3-version) but it is not going to be installed. | 17:07 |
| abi_ | 1st partation there is windows | 17:07 |
| abi_ | second is some what empty | 17:07 |
| ioria | ok, then ? | 17:08 |
| abi_ | third is with my data | 17:08 |
| abi_ | and 4th is empty 40 gb part | 17:08 |
| ioria | abi_, bott win and delete the second | 17:08 |
| ioria | *boot | 17:08 |
| Nik05 | nicomachus http://paste.debian.net/hidden/4e8b9a84/ | 17:08 |
| abi_ | than | 17:08 |
| Nik05 | oh could it be the steam... | 17:08 |
| ioria | abi_, no, sorry it's labeled 'boot' | 17:09 |
| n0Str3s5 | hi guys, question, what bouncers are you using for irc? | 17:09 |
| abi_ | i understand | 17:09 |
| ioria | abi_, don't delete it | 17:09 |
| nicomachus | well you don't need a Steam repo anymore, it's part of the universe packages now. but that shouldn't cause so much to be removed with dist-upgrade... | 17:09 |
| nicomachus | Nik05: ^ | 17:09 |
| abi_ | ok | 17:09 |
| AndChat607476 | http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00JJEUL5W/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1450887796&sr=8-1&keywords=ORICO&pi=SY200_QL40&dpPl=1&dpID=41AeKhgxuxL&ref=plSrch I'm planning on removing my hard disk apart and buying this hdd docking station will I lose data as soon as I remove it or ...how does it work? | 17:09 |
| abi_ | do you use skype | 17:09 |
| nicomachus | AndChat607476: ask in ##hardware | 17:09 |
| slidinghorn | n0Str3s5: that's not a topic for here...try #ubuntu-offtopic -- this is for Ubuntu support only :) | 17:10 |
| ioria | abi_, the first is not win, btw | 17:10 |
| Nik05 | nicomachus i also have no idea what is happening | 17:10 |
| ioria | abi_, the second likely is Win | 17:10 |
| AndChat607476 | nicomachus: and I tried booting through USB but no use | 17:10 |
| abi_ | yes | 17:10 |
| truckcrash | Is there any way to help along the process of updating a package to the latest version? apt-get still has ibus 1.5.9, but I am trying to get v1.5.11 | 17:10 |
| abi_ | first is the partation reserved by win | 17:10 |
| ioria | yeep... 3 and 4 ? | 17:11 |
| abi_ | second is also just a boot file | 17:11 |
| abi_ | 3rd consist of windows file | 17:11 |
| ioria | abi_, no, it's win, i think | 17:11 |
| abi_ | yes it is | 17:11 |
| abi_ | 68 gb was for my c drive | 17:11 |
| ioria | abi_, win usually is on C | 17:12 |
| abi_ | and 4th is 403 gb | 17:12 |
| abi_ | but i don't have any partation with 403 gb | 17:12 |
| ioria | abi_, the 4 is empty ? | 17:12 |
| nicomachus | Nik05: go ahead and get rid of that Steam repo, then run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, and see if that still wants to remove a lot. NOT dist-upgrade, just upgrade for now. | 17:12 |
| abi_ | are u sure | 17:12 |
| Nik05 | nicomachus oke already done that | 17:12 |
| ioria | abi_, it's a question | 17:12 |
| abi_ | no | 17:13 |
| abi_ | it is not a free | 17:13 |
| Nik05 | ls | 17:13 |
| abi_ | ok wait | 17:13 |
| Nik05 | ho wrong window :) | 17:13 |
| ioria | abi_, what's on the 4th ? | 17:13 |
| ioria | abi_, please abi_, keep it in the public channel | 17:14 |
| abi_ | it is 403 gb | 17:14 |
| abi_ | so it is not showing rest of partation | 17:15 |
| ioria | abi_, ok.... but you know what's on the 4th ? | 17:15 |
| abi_ | no i don't know | 17:15 |
| abi_ | what is i4th | 17:15 |
| ioria | abi_, boot win and find out | 17:15 |
| linuxhp | abi you first format the partition to fat 32 | 17:16 |
| abi_ | ioria don't have 403 gb partation | 17:16 |
| abi_ | have max 195 gb partation | 17:16 |
| sandah | Howdy is xenial stable enough to start playing with or is major plumbing still being moved around? | 17:16 |
| ioria | abi_, parted says the contrary .... | 17:16 |
| zykotick9 | Nik05: you might want to try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop" and see if it installs something... i'm not sure it'll work for a metapackage however... | 17:16 |
| slidinghorn | sandah: Xenial won't be considered "Stable" until it's released in April, essentially | 17:17 |
| slidinghorn | anything before that is alpha/beta stage | 17:17 |
| abi_ | ok ioria in win i have c: 69 gb di: 178 gb, e: 210 gb and h: 40 gb | 17:17 |
| Voyage | Hi | 17:17 |
| Nik05 | thank you zykotick9, already tried that | 17:17 |
| sandah | slidinghorn: Thanks, but if I install now can 'upgrade' to the final version once it is finished? | 17:17 |
| Voyage | I am trying to install skype but I get this message. The "skype" package could not be marked for installation or upgrade: | 17:18 |
| Voyage | Depends: skype, but it is a virtual package. I am using kubuntu LTS latest | 17:18 |
| abi_ | ok ioria in win i have c: 69 gb di: 178 gb, e: 210 gb and h: 40 gb | 17:18 |
| abi_ | but here it is only showing 69 gb and rest all partation in 1 403 gb | 17:18 |
| Voyage | any clues? | 17:18 |
| abi_ | that is the problem what i am facing | 17:18 |
| sandah | I have a new pc which requires some drivers which will be in xenial so that is the version I will likely eventually use. If its not stable beforehand I can live with that. | 17:18 |
| xangua | Voyage: Are you installing Skype from the partner repository? | 17:19 |
| ioria | abi_, not sure , maybe something about the Sector size | 17:20 |
| Voyage | xangua, origin: says, partner archive | 17:20 |
| xangua | Voyage: so, sudo apt-get install skype ? | 17:21 |
| gobal | while reading my pendrive i/o error | 17:21 |
| xangua | did you try to run apt-get update before? | 17:21 |
| abi_ | So ioria the exact problem is that i have 4 partation but it isi showing only two 69 gb and rest 403 gb | 17:21 |
| ioria | abi_, sorry, 2 is not win ... , 3 is win | 17:22 |
| Nik05 | nicomachus and zykotick9 im getting problems with libatomic etc from gcc | 17:22 |
| Nik05 | I will try to find out what exactly | 17:22 |
| abi_ | yes 3 is win | 17:22 |
| abi_ | and 2 is win boot | 17:23 |
| Voyage | xangua, let me paste logs | 17:23 |
| ioria | abi_, yep... so what on the 4 .... your data ? | 17:23 |
| abi_ | 4 is remaining remaining gb from 500 gb hard drive as it is not showing remaining partation | 17:24 |
| Nik05 | nicomachus he has libatomic version 4.9.2-0ubuntu1~12.04 installed but trusty only has 4.8.4.... | 17:24 |
| ioria | abi_, can you boot ubuntu in 'Try' and post a pic of gparted ? | 17:25 |
| abi_ | ioria do you know any thing like team viewer online so i can show you | 17:25 |
| ioria | abi_, ^^ | 17:25 |
| abi_ | yes | 17:25 |
| abi_ | ioria check this you will see 4 drive http://imgur.com/qT330KL | 17:26 |
| abi_ | 210 gb ,178 gb , new volume and 69 gb | 17:27 |
| bekks | abi_: Pastebin "sudo fdisk -l" and provide the URL to your pastebin please. | 17:28 |
| Voyage | xangua, http://pastie.org/10649481#1,3,24,133,227,238-239 | 17:28 |
| salimyar98 | hi | 17:28 |

| Nik05 | I down graded those 5 packages and everything was fine... | 17:30 |
| abi_ | bekks, please check this http://imgur.com/4NxFfaX | 17:30 |
| xangua | doesn't seem like you are using any other third party repo, are you using your country repository? if so, maybe change your sources to the main repository | 17:30 |
| xangua | Voyage: | 17:31 |
| Voyage | xangua, hm do I need thirdparty repo? | 17:31 |
| Nik05 | thank you everyone, bye | 17:31 |
| Voyage | xangua, and why do I need to change to main repo? | 17:32 |

| Sagar | hello, i am having ubuntu 14.04 VPS with 2GB ram, running mySQL, apache2 and php5-fpm, but it utilizes too much ram, What could be issue? Any help appreicated | 17:45 |

| lotuspsychje | Sagar: looks like php5-fpm is ontop with high cpu/mem 2 times | 17:49 |
| Sagar | optimization is wrong i think | 17:49 |
| Sagar | People seems to use 1.5GB server to run mongodb, mysql along with apache2 and php5-fpm | 17:49 |

| ubottu | mssbrg: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 18:04 |
| scott3 | fair enough but i thought it would only remove things that weren't needed | 18:04 |
| lotuspsychje | mssbrg: whats wrong with your libc.so version right now? | 18:04 |
| scott3 | it removed mysql, php, java | 18:04 |
| lotuspsychje | scott3: if you mix ppa's with official packages, you get wird situations like this | 18:05 |
| Sagar | nicomachus: there are alot of apache2 and mysql proccess | 18:05 |
| Sagar | using 136MB and 126MB RAM EACH | 18:05 |
| zykotick9 | scott3: if you remove one package from a metapackage, apt-get will offer to remove everything included in that metapackage. | 18:05 |

| nicomachus | Sagar: I couldn't verify if that's correct or not, I don't have experience with that. But I imagine it's just different threads of the same process, and they aren't actually using that much each. because total usage is still pretty low (737mb) | 18:06 |
| Sagar | what says that? http://prntscr.com/9hqhwm | 18:07 |
| nicomachus | Sagar: Your htop scrot only showed 737 in use | 18:09 |
| Sagar | dont getting it what could be wrong :( | 18:10 |
| nacc | Sagar: what does "utilizes too much ram" mean? | 18:15 |
| rom1504 | "there are alot of apache2 and mysql proccess, using 136MB and 126MB RAM EACH" what do you mean by each ? | 18:15 |
| slidinghorn | Sagar: the reason "free" shows far less memory as being free is that it counts cached memory as in use. htop does not, it seems. Please see here for further explanation: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | 18:16 |

| Klumsy | i have a real bad problem. my .5T backup disk was stolen in a break-in. all i have is the original 120Gig disk | 18:47 |
| Klumsy | this is basically my life's work | 18:47 |
| Klumsy | i did back up, its just that someone broke in my house and stole my stuff | 18:47 |
| Klumsy | is there any way to copy the audio files over? | 18:48 |
| tgm4883 | Klumsy: I'm confused. If they only stole your backup, can't you just access the originals how you normally do? | 18:48 |
| Klumsy | these are not downloaded mp3's, these are a lifetimes worth of studio recordings | 18:48 |
| Klumsy | i dont throw away disks | 18:48 |
| Klumsy | i had an external disk that i copied this to | 18:48 |
| Klumsy | it was stolen | 18:48 |
| tgm4883 | Klumsy: so grab them from the original disk? | 18:49 |
| Klumsy | now, someone is threatening to release all my music but they dont have the original source files | 18:49 |
| Klumsy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14173581/ | 18:49 |
| Klumsy | i have ubuntu livedisk 13.10 running | 18:50 |
| tgm4883 | Klumsy: ok, lets step back a second. Lets pretend it's 2 days before the robbery and you want to access one of the files. How do you access the file? | 18:50 |
| Klumsy | from the half-T disk that i bought as a backup | 18:51 |
| slidinghorn | !eol | Klumsy 13.10 is end of life | 18:51 |

| tgm4883 | Klumsy: if you are accessing the data on your backup drive on a daily basis, then it's NOT a backup | 18:51 |
| Klumsy | it wasnt accessed daily, i would use it as i needed | 18:52 |
| tgm4883 | Klumsy: so then what exactly is this 120GB disk | 18:52 |
| Klumsy | and i kept this original backup disk | 18:52 |
| tgm4883 | Klumsy: yea that's not a backup. In any case, what is the 120GB disk | 18:52 |
| * lotuspsychje facepalm | 18:52 | |
| Klumsy | its a WD Caviar IDE | 18:52 |
| tgm4883 | Klumsy: sorry not what I meant. You said this disk is an original. An original of what? | 18:53 |
| ioria | Klumsy, how are you accessing it ? usb external case ? ide adapter ? | 18:53 |
| Klumsy | this disk is 120 gigs of amiga AIFF, and windows WAV audio | 18:53 |
| Klumsy | and the source scripts and sequences | 18:53 |
| Klumsy | and recordings | 18:54 |
| Klumsy | music | 18:54 |
| tgm4883 | Klumsy: so it's not an OS disk then. It was a secondary disk in some machine? | 18:54 |
| Klumsy | yeah | 18:54 |
| tgm4883 | Klumsy: what computer are you on now? | 18:55 |
| Klumsy | a brand new lenovo laptop | 18:55 |

| Klumsy | because before i was able to browse and actually play the audio files from knoppix | 18:56 |
| Klumsy | or... 13.10 | 18:56 |
| Klumsy | but when i installed 15.10 i started having problems | 18:57 |
| ioria | Klumsy, boot you 15.10, plug the disk and dmesg | tail | 18:57 |
| * slidinghorn is so confused right now... | 18:57 | |

| tgm4883 | yea I'm probably out on this one. ntfs drives aren't my speciality | 18:58 |
| MWM | is there anything that would make Ubuntu Studio unsuitable for NAS? | 18:58 |
| Sonic2kk | Hey! My Integral USB 3.0 flash drive worked in Ubuntu 15.04 but stopped working when I upgraded to 15.10. It does not work on my OS X partition either. Other flash drives do however work in this computer. The drive also woks in other computers, such as an old Toshiba Satellite machine from 2003 running Xubuntu 14.04 or some Windows XP machines I have laying around [Will continue in another message] | 18:58 |
| Sonic2kk | The drive is recognised using an OTG cable on my Nexus 6 and Galaxy SII. Other computers running 15.10 recognise it. Other drives work on OS X and the machines I've tested on (including those also running 15.10) see the drive. The drive does not appear in fdisk or any other commands that I have tried [Continues in another message] | 18:58 |
| Sonic2kk | The drive does not appear in any commands that I have ran. A few fresh installs have not helped, and downgrading to 15.04 again does nothing. The drive still doesn't appear. Other USB devices such as external drives or USB mouses and keyboards work perfectly fine as well. How can I fix this issue? Why has it suddenly come up? | 18:59 |
| tgm4883 | Sonic2kk: plug the drive in then pastebin 'dmesg | tail' | 18:59 |
| MWM | Sonic2kk: so lsblk does not show the drive? | 18:59 |
| lotuspsychje | MWM: studio is designed for audio works, do you want it to be a NAS also? | 19:00 |
| * tgm4883 is just going to steal all his answers from ioria from now on :) | 19:00 | |

| MWM | lutuspsychje: Id like to be able to edit video and store it locally. Which is why I was considering Studio as NAS | 19:01 |
| ioria | Klumsy, dmesg | tail | 19:01 |
| tgm4883 | MWM: do you need to access that video from elsewhere? | 19:01 |
| Sonic2kk | MWM: No, it just shows the partitions on my internal drive | 19:01 |
| Klumsy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14174285/ | 19:01 |
| ioria | Klumsy, your disk is plugged ? | 19:02 |
| Klumsy | yeah | 19:02 |
| tgm4883 | Klumsy: did you plug it in after booting or before? | 19:02 |
| Klumsy | before | 19:02 |
| Voyage | I have the following files, how do I make a .deb out of it and install it? control.tar.gz data.tar.gz debian-binary | 19:02 |
| MWM | SO right now I have NAS set up to be a DLNA server. Id just like to be able to edit/work with the content that is already on it | 19:02 |
| tgm4883 | Klumsy: unplug it then replug it back in | 19:02 |
| ioria | Klumsy, unplug, replug , dmesg | tail | 19:03 |
| MWM | I realize that I could just add that funtionality to my existing system (lubuntu 15.10) but I wondered if Studio might not be a better route to go since I have an impending reinstall | 19:03 |
| Klumsy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14174356/ | 19:03 |
| MWM | Sonic2KK: I was hoping that it might show there. Im sorry but Im new to ubuntu/linux and cant really offer any help | 19:04 |
| ioria | Klumsy, usb2 or 3 ? | 19:04 |
| Klumsy | well i assume that this is the USB2 slot since it is the one that is not colored blue | 19:04 |
| Sonic2kk | MWM: It's okay, I'll wait for 16.04 and hope for the best. It seems that it's all I can do :/ | 19:05 |
| ioria | Klumsy, looks bad from here .... ever worked that case (with that disk inside) ? | 19:05 |
| slidinghorn | Voyage: what exactly are you trying to install? Are you trying to compile something from its source? | 19:05 |
| Klumsy | isnt there a way i can force it to mount and just copy what i can? | 19:05 |
| Klumsy | honestly, the disk sounds good | 19:06 |

| zotta | I am running xubuntu 14 lts. I can change the cpu performance setting using the 'IndicatorPlugin' in the taskbar. But that setting is never saved and i have to set i again every time I log on. | 19:31 |
| daftykins | Klumsy: so the second half of the command should've uploaded a paste and reported back the URL to share if it worked | 19:31 |
| jhutchins | Bledin: Try removing pulseaudio. | 19:31 |
| zotta | Is there a way to change the default cpu power saving mode setting? | 19:31 |
| Klumsy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14175586/ | 19:31 |
| Bledin | jhutchins: i've tried that...but even so the spdif wont show up in kodi...i've not used pulse audio before because it's been easier to get surround working without it, but the digital output has always been available in pulse before i've given up on it... | 19:32 |
| ioria2 | Klumsy, can you paste the output of ' mount ' ? | 19:33 |
| daftykins | Klumsy: oh wow, that disk is reported as 18 petabytes XD either the disk controller or the USB bridge chip inside your adapter doesn't like Linux | 19:33 |
| daftykins | ioria2: check out the above paste :> | 19:33 |
| ioria2 | daftykins, sorry, was disconnected | 19:33 |
| Klumsy | so should i slave it up in another box and try it with a regular IDE cable? | 19:33 |
| daftykins | ioria2: oh yeah, my mistake - http://paste.ubuntu.com/14175586/ | 19:33 |
| daftykins | Klumsy: yeah sounds good to me | 19:33 |
| Klumsy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14175586/ | 19:34 |
| daftykins | Klumsy: would that machine run a different OS? | 19:34 |
| Klumsy | yeah sofar i have been able to boot only 15.10 and13.10 | 19:34 |
| Klumsy | 13.10 was browsing it yesturday | 19:34 |
| daftykins | Klumsy: ah well you could use a live session to investigate on that other machine | 19:34 |
| Klumsy | but i have a box below it | 19:34 |
| Klumsy | yeah | 19:34 |
| Klumsy | and i have a blank 120 disk as well | 19:35 |
| Klumsy | ok disk is going down | 19:35 |
| xangua | mmm they always leave when I'm about to answer | 19:37 |

| abi__ | hi bekks | 19:39 |
| abi__ | I found one thing that may solve my problem | 19:39 |
| abi__ | but before i was willing to get some help from here | 19:40 |
| lotuspsychje | !details | abi__ | 19:40 |
| ubottu | abi__: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) | 19:40 |
| nerium | b1ack1323: That didn’t work :/ | 19:40 |
| abi__ | ok | 19:40 |
| abi__ | So when i get into bios and enable uefi mode i see two partation there | 19:41 |
| abi__ | why is that | 19:41 |
| Klumsy | ok, the bios sees the disk normal | 19:41 |
| daftykins | abi__: we don't know the situation, bekks may be busy right now. please describe more and type in single sentences, avoiding the use of the enter key until absolutely necessary | 19:42 |
| daftykins | Klumsy: good stuff | 19:42 |
| Klumsy | booting Luubuntu14.04 32bit live | 19:43 |
| abi__ | ok i had a problem that i cannot install ubuntu along with windows 8.1 . As i have 4 partation in my harddrive which is 500 gb wd, but while trying to install ubuntu it only shows 68 gb and 403 gb partation that was my problem | 19:43 |
| daftykins | abi__: which OS are you typing from right now? | 19:44 |
| abi__ | windows 8.1 | 19:44 |
| daftykins | abi__: are you able to come back on here from another device / freenode webchat whilst an ubuntu live session is booted (in EFI mode) from flash drive/DVD ? | 19:45 |
| abi__ | ok daftyskins but may take 15 min as i have to boot usb | 19:45 |
| abi__ | first please tell me which is good 14.04 or 15.04 | 19:46 |
| daftykins | abi__: 14.04.3 64-bit on USB would be great | 19:46 |
| abi__ | ok thankx | 19:46 |
| abi__ | daftykin i have 14.04.2 | 19:49 |
| abi__ | daftykin i have 14.04.2 | 19:49 |
| daftykins | abi__: i'd re-download | 19:50 |
| abi__ | if i start download it will take 8 hour | 19:50 |
| Klumsy | network install? | 19:50 |
| ioria | Klumsy, for what ? | 19:51 |
| Klumsy | if you dont have bandwidth to download a new Ubuntu disk | 19:52 |
| Klumsy | i used to use Debian network disk and it was very small | 19:52 |
| abi__ | yes | 19:52 |
| Klumsy | that was a long time ago | 19:52 |
| ioria | Klumsy, yeah... mini is only 30 ... | 19:52 |
| daftykins | Klumsy: not really appropriate for all new users | 19:52 |
| abi__ | give me 5 min i will be back with 5 min | 19:52 |
| daftykins | especially since it doesn't work with EFI installs too | 19:52 |
| Klumsy | oh no | 19:53 |
| ioria | Klumsy, but it will download from the web... could be slower | 19:53 |
| merpnderp | Does ubuntu have support for apple magic mouse 2 gestures and right click? | 19:53 |
| merpnderp | Thinking of moving from a MBP to a system76 Oryx | 19:54 |
| lotuspsychje | merpnderp: can this help? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/AppleMagicMouse | 19:54 |
| Klumsy | ok, i get an error mounting dev/sdb1 | 19:54 |
| Klumsy | as secondary IDE single disk | 19:55 |
| lotuspsychje | merpnderp: system76 is a bit overpriced mate, try to build own laptop + samsung ssd 850 pro + ubuntu LTS | 19:55 |
| merpnderp | lotuspsychje: thanks. That lets me know that back in 10.10 ubuntu had support for right click. | 19:55 |
| merpnderp | lotuspsychje: now I need to find out about gesture support :) | 19:55 |
| merpnderp | lotuspsychje: I know they're not cheap, but I like the quality of their components. Aluminum case, well done keyboards, great screens. | 19:56 |
| daftykins | Klumsy: can you re-run the commands from earlier to query the SMART data again? | 19:56 |
| merpnderp | I vastly prefer linux to OSX, but I got an MBP for the hardware | 19:56 |

| MediocreNut | here is relevant link http://imgur.com/qRJ9io2 | 20:04 |
| MediocreNut | Can't get wired connection working to save my life | 20:04 |
| daftykins | MediocreNut: the screenshot in there is obscuring any output for eth0 if it's above | 20:04 |
| lotuspsychje | MediocreNut: chipset would be handy also and ubuntu version | 20:05 |
| daftykins | MediocreNut: try bypassing network manager with a static addressing; "sudo ifconfig eth0 x.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.0" where x.x.x.x is an appropriate LAN IP, then make sure the interface is up - and try pinging a host on the network. | 20:05 |
| === s_ is now known as qqqqqs | ||
| ioria | MediocreNut, and sudo lshw -C Network | pastebinit | 20:06 |

| Klumsy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14178377/ | 20:06 |
| daftykins | Klumsy: that's looking a lot better. what was your mount method? command or GUI file manager auto? | 20:06 |

| ioria | !EOL | 20:06 |
| ubottu | MediocreNut: Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic Unicorn) was the 21st release of Ubuntu. Support ended on July 23rd, 2015. See !eol, !upgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/utopic | 20:06 |
| nicomachus | well... | 20:06 |
| Klumsy | i am really rusty with PC's | 20:06 |
| daftykins | Klumsy: ok "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" and "mount | pastebinit" please | 20:07 |
| lotuspsychje | MediocreNut: install a version supported from topic mate | 20:07 |
| on247 | hi | 20:07 |
| Klumsy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14178789/ | 20:07 |
| MediocreNut | is there an easy way to upgrade? | 20:07 |
| on247 | This is a help channel? | 20:08 |
| nicomachus | on247: yes, for Ubuntu | 20:08 |
| lotuspsychje | MediocreNut: read the oelupgrade from the trigger | 20:08 |

| nicomachus | MediocreNut: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 20:08 |
| MediocreNut | ty | 20:08 |
| on247 | Ok , so after a upgrade to Xenial there is no longer a init.d folder on my server | 20:09 |
| nicomachus | on247: you'll have to use #ubuntu+1 for Xenial support. | 20:09 |
| on247 | thx | 20:09 |
| daftykins | Klumsy: ok, at terminal run "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /mnt -o uid=1000,gid=1000" - if it errors, pastebin both the error (by visiting http://paste.ubuntu.com ) and also add the output of "dmesg | tail" which it may even suggest | 20:09 |
| Klumsy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14179172/ | 20:12 |
| Klumsy | so i have to pull this disk out, then seat it in a hardware windows machine? | 20:12 |
| daftykins | Klumsy: what did "dmesg | tail" look like? | 20:13 |
| daftykins | i take it it was only ever alone - was never part of a RAID setup? | 20:13 |
| abi__ | ok iam ubuntu 15.04 with | 20:14 |
| Klumsy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14179259/ | 20:14 |
| abi__ | as in live version my wireless driver was not supported | 20:14 |
| daftykins | weird, nothing disk related | 20:14 |
| abi__ | daftykins i am back | 20:14 |
| lotuspsychje | abi__: wifi chipset? | 20:15 |
| Klumsy | so basically, it is freaking out because it was not shutdown by windows | 20:15 |
| abi__ | i think it is broadcom | 20:15 |
| lotuspsychje | !b43 | abi__ | 20:15 |
| ubottu | abi__: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 20:15 |
| abi__ | can't we go with this version | 20:15 |
| daftykins | Klumsy: i think it's worse than that, but you can try changing the mount command to "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /mnt -o force,uid=1000,gid=1000" | 20:15 |
| MediocreNut | how long does the do-release-upgrade usually take? | 20:16 |
| daftykins | MediocreNut: that's highly dependant on your internet connection + repo sources, so we really can't say. | 20:16 |
| MediocreNut | i see | 20:16 |
| lotuspsychje | MediocreNut: keep in mind that upgrade from eol can still be a danger right | 20:16 |
| abi__ | draftykins i am using ubuntu 15.10 64 bits | 20:16 |
| MediocreNut | i have a backup | 20:16 |
| lotuspsychje | MediocreNut: alot of security flaws since then | 20:16 |
| ioria | abi__ 15.04 is going to die ... why not 15.10 ? | 20:17 |
| MediocreNut | so of all files, so if i end up havin to fresh install its not the end of the world | 20:17 |
| daftykins | abi__: thought you said 15.04 :> | 20:17 |
| lotuspsychje | !usn | MediocreNut here's why | 20:17 |
| ubottu | MediocreNut here's why: Please see http://www.ubuntu.com/usn for information about Ubuntu security updates. | 20:17 |

| abi__ | So draftykins how can we proceed | 20:19 |
| abi__ | are you there daftykins | 20:22 |
| daftykins | Klumsy: mmm no go, look up ntfsprogs i think it is, something provides Windows style disk check utils - but *real* Windows would be a lot safer if this data is important | 20:22 |
| daftykins | abi__: i have the heating on so i'm not drafty at all :D so which version is it for sure? | 20:22 |
| Klumsy | so i should connect it to a windows machine? | 20:22 |
| abi__ | it ilubuntus 15.10 64 bit | 20:22 |
| ioria | Klumsy, if have one , why not | 20:23 |
| daftykins | Klumsy: yep, natively - you may even be able to just boot windows install media from the system you have it in right now and hit shift+F10 to get a cmd and run chdksk on the drive letter. ##windows can help more there | 20:24 |
| daftykins | abi__: and did you boot EFI mode? so the menu was white text on a black background with 'try' ... 'install' etc? | 20:24 |
| abi__ | So is there any one who can give me solution | 20:24 |
| abi__ | no i boot in didn't boot in efi mode | 20:25 |
| daftykins | why not? | 20:25 |
| abi__ | because when i go to efi mode on there are two partation selected | 20:25 |
| abi__ | so i am not used to | 20:25 |
| abi__ | with efi | 20:25 |
| daftykins | boot EFI mode and then come back here, we can check what those partitions are. | 20:26 |
| abi__ | daftykins i boot always in lagecy mode | 20:27 |
| ilmaisin | hi, i have a hp dc8200 sff computer, after I install lubuntu, the display just stays in the power saving mode but the system itself seems to be running | 20:27 |
| abi__ | not in efi mode | 20:27 |
| daftykins | abi__: which mode is win8.1 installed in? | 20:27 |
| abi__ | lagecy mode win 8.1 | 20:27 |
| daftykins | ilmaisin: try nomodeset | 20:27 |
| daftykins | !nomodeset | 20:27 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 20:28 |
| daftykins | abi__: show me a screenshot of diskmgmt.msc inside Windows to confirm this | 20:28 |
| abi__ | now again i have to go back in windows | 20:28 |
| === Arduino- is now known as A1R | ||
| ilmaisin | daftykins: thanks, i will check that out | 20:29 |
| daftykins | sounds like a complaint to me from abi ^_^ | 20:29 |
| ioria | ilmaisin, can you open a console with ctrl + alt + f1 ( or f2) ? | 20:30 |
| nec0spe | how can i change from LTS to regular version? | 20:30 |
| lotuspsychje | nec0spe: not reccomended | 20:31 |
| nec0spe | ok | 20:31 |
| lotuspsychje | nec0spe: clean isntall instead | 20:31 |
| lotuspsychje | nec0spe: any reason you moving away from LTS? | 20:31 |
| enrico_ | if you want you can update from System Settings ->Software Updates -> Updates -> Notify mt for any new version | 20:32 |
| daftykins | although if you're on 14.04 that would require a very painful upgrade process... to 14.10, then to 15.04, then to 15.10 (by the end of January) | 20:32 |
| nec0spe | lotuspsychje, it was just curiosity | 20:33 |
| ioria | nec0spe, apart from the disaster, you can can change /etc/update-manager/release-upgrade and change LTS to normal and run do-release-upgrade. | 20:33 |
| enrico_ | yes, it's always raccomended a fresh install but you can try if you want | 20:33 |
| lotuspsychje | nec0spe: if everything working fine in your LTS, i reccomend you stay | 20:34 |
| lotuspsychje | nec0spe: if curious for other versions, try virtualbox? | 20:34 |
| nec0spe | lotuspsychje, thanks! | 20:34 |

| daftykins | abi__: ok so you are likely going to have to resize or delete one of those to fit ubuntu on | 20:37 |
| abi__ | yes | 20:38 |
| abi__ | but d drive is empty | 20:38 |
| daftykins | abi__: that's not hugely useful, given it's in the wrong place | 20:38 |
| daftykins | do you have an external drive you can copy the contents of E: off onto? | 20:38 |
| === samuel is now known as Guest25370 | ||
| abi__ | no | 20:39 |
| abi__ | As e drive is 195 gb and d drive is just166 | 20:39 |
| daftykins | abi__: your disk is also set to dynamic which is not safe. | 20:39 |
| ilmaisin | daftykins: well, that seems to result in bad resolution | 20:40 |
| abi__ | SO what do you suggest me to do daftykins | 20:40 |
| daftykins | ilmaisin: it will but it is a diagnostic procedure | 20:40 |
| ilmaisin | daftykins: this is a really bad regression | 20:40 |
| ilmaisin | 14.04 worked just fine | 20:40 |
| daftykins | ilmaisin: no, it is called troubleshooting :) after trying it, i would identify the graphics hardware in the system. | 20:40 |
| daftykins | oh i see. | 20:41 |
| ilmaisin | it's the default integrated intel | 20:41 |
| daftykins | abi__: personally, i would copy some of the data from E: onto D:, then the rest onto C: (temporarily)... then i would delete E: and resize D: to be the right size for the data from C:... after that, i would create an extended partition in the empty space where E: was | 20:42 |
| ilmaisin | daftykins: removing the "gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode" seems to make it boot with good resolution, but i have no idea how to make it permanent | 20:42 |
| daftykins | ilmaisin: you have that on your kernel boot parameters right now? edit /etc/default/grub to check | 20:42 |
| abi__ | So i have to transfer data from e to d now | 20:43 |
| daftykins | abi__: why, were you told something else before? | 20:43 |
| ilmaisin | daftykins: no, i just said i have no idea how to make it permanent | 20:43 |
| ilmaisin | i used the e key from boot menu | 20:43 |
| abi__ | yes i was told to shrink c drive | 20:43 |
| daftykins | ilmaisin: but that's the text you have to remove each time? | 20:43 |
| abi__ | so i shrink to 40 gb | 20:44 |
| ilmaisin | daftykins: it seems to be so | 20:44 |
| daftykins | abi__: ah, that was bad advice. | 20:44 |
| ilmaisin | however i have tried one time only | 20:44 |
| daftykins | ilmaisin: if you could pastebin /etc/default/grub that'd help | 20:44 |
| abi__ | So now I have to empty e drive first right | 20:44 |
| ilmaisin | daftykins: yes, just a minute | 20:44 |
| ilmaisin | this kind of bugs however make me really consider switching back to windows | 20:45 |
| ilmaisin | unfortunately, windows's quality has also declined badly | 20:45 |
| BlackFate | i tried to switch to windows but my lap would just keep freezing after waking in suspend mode... so back to linux | 20:46 |
| daftykins | abi__: yep | 20:46 |
| abi__ | ok dafitykins give me some time to transfer data | 20:46 |
| daftykins | ilmaisin: this is not the place for OS war discussions, as it happens. | 20:46 |
| daftykins | abi__: sure, i need to go do that food thing too :> | 20:46 |
| abi__ | ok when will you be back daftykins | 20:47 |
| abi__ | ok when will you be back daftykins | 20:48 |
| daftykins | abi__: is there a reason you repeat so much? i don't know, probably in an hour tops | 20:48 |
| abi__ | ok | 20:48 |
| daftykins | abi__: after copying the data, right click where it says "Disk 0 / Dynamic" and change it to 'Basic' too. | 20:49 |
| abi__ | ok | 20:50 |
| ilmaisin | daftykins: <http://pastebin.com/3HZMBHde> i tried uncommenting that grub_gfxmode thing, but it did not help | 20:51 |

| ilmaisin | daftykins: only difference is uncommenting the line 26 which did not help | 20:53 |
| daftykins | ilmaisin: well if you deleted something from the boot lines previously to get it working, then there should be something somewhere to remove; not something to add. | 20:54 |
| daftykins | ilmaisin: i take it you ran "sudo update-grub" to make your edit count? | 20:54 |
| ilmaisin | daftykins: yes, i did | 20:54 |

| ilmaisin | EriC^^: removing the "gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode" | 20:56 |
| ilmaisin | but the config file is really different from the actual boot options | 20:57 |
| EriC^^ | you usually press e and remove it from the entry? | 20:57 |
| Klumsy | daftykins: still there? | 20:57 |
| ilmaisin | EriC^^: yes, but it is not persistent | 20:58 |
| ilmaisin | EriC^^: it would be unreasonable to demand my 70 year old mother, or anyone that matter, to manually edit boot options on every boot, so it should be somehow made persistent | 20:58 |

| Klumsy | i need to connect an eithernet cable to this laptop to manually back it up here | 21:00 |
| ilmaisin | EriC^^: so i should now revert it back what it was? | 21:01 |
| EriC^^ | what do you mean? | 21:01 |
| === on247 is now known as Guest92545 | ||
| Klumsy | any tips? | 21:01 |
| daftykins | Klumsy: sounds good, you could browse over to the XP machine using nautilus if you share it | 21:01 |
| lsh | slightly OT: is it recommended to shred old ssl private keys when generating a new one? | 21:01 |
| EriC^^ | why do you have it set to 640x480 in the first place? | 21:01 |
| === Guest92545 is now known as on247 | ||
| ilmaisin | EriC^^: trying to solve the problem | 21:01 |
| Klumsy | i dont have a network connection on that thing tho | 21:01 |
| Klumsy | the router is in the other room | 21:01 |
| EriC^^ | ilmaisin: what resolution do you use usually? | 21:02 |
| ilmaisin | EriC^^: 1680x1050 | 21:02 |
| Klumsy | thanks 10000000X | 21:03 |
| Klumsy | now i know that it does not like the USB cable chipset | 21:03 |
| EriC^^ | ilmaisin: ok comment it out | 21:03 |
| ilmaisin | and then what? | 21:04 |
| Apteryx | Is there a way to disable Unity effects (or have Unity 2D) in Ubuntu 14.04 ? I'm working remotely using TeamViewer and the effects are locking it up badly. | 21:04 |
| ilmaisin | maybe i should just revert back to 14.04 and if it wont be fixed for 16.04 lts, switch to another distro | 21:05 |
| EriC^^ | ilmaisin: type on the bottom GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep | 21:05 |
| ilmaisin | EriC^^: done, updating grub and rebooting now | 21:06 |
| EriC^^ | ok | 21:06 |
| daftykins | Klumsy: :) np | 21:06 |
| daftykins | Klumsy: oh you can just statically address your two systems if you are connecting a LAN cable direct between | 21:06 |
| === john is now known as Guest64547 | ||
| daftykins | Klumsy: if your home router is 192.168.0.x, set the LAN between those two as 192.168.1.x on both - (or whatever is different for the third 'octet') | 21:07 |
| daftykins | ##windows can help you with windows file sharing... i hope ;) | 21:07 |
| ilmaisin | EriC^^: no, it didn't help, the pesky line stays in the boot options | 21:08 |
| EriC^^ | yes it'll stay there, but that's the variable | 21:08 |
| EriC^^ | try setting it to "text" in /etc/default/grub | 21:08 |
| ilmaisin | EriC^^: ok | 21:09 |
| ilmaisin | i just wonder how this kind of bugs can make it to the releases since intel graphics are so common | 21:09 |
| EriC^^ | ilmaisin: any luck? | 21:13 |
| daftykins | ilmaisin: well it's not necessarily a bug, might just be your machine/install | 21:13 |
| ilmaisin | EriC^^: yes, now it works | 21:14 |
| ilmaisin | EriC^^: thanks | 21:14 |
| EriC^^ | no problem | 21:14 |
| ilmaisin | could it possibly be something with the lubuntu images | 21:15 |
| ilmaisin | they are not officially supported by canonical so they maybe go through less testing | 21:16 |
| C_minus_ | When I used the brightness keys on my laptop, I used to be able to turn off the backlight completely by putting it on the lowest setting. But now (perhaps since some update) the lowest brightness setting still emits light. | 21:20 |

| oreste | ciao | 21:28 |
| curlyears | OK. and 16.04 in April | 21:28 |
| curlyears | for some reason, I tried to make a bootable install image on an 8GB thumb, and it blew up about 1/3 of the way through | 21:29 |
| curlyears | )-: | 21:29 |
| curlyears | gave me an Error 5, what ever the **** that is | 21:30 |
| oreste | /load .xchat2/budus.so | 21:30 |
| curlyears | I am dl-in the .3 ios again, since I am runnibng in Live CD mode, and I was forced to reboot due to a system glitcch | 21:31 |
| curlyears | any clues, MonkeyDust? | 21:31 |
| debug0x1 | curlyears: Is it a Sandisk? They have issues. | 21:32 |
| MonkeyDust | curlyears with which command or program did you create the bootbale usb? | 21:32 |
| debug0x1 | Also try a different USB port, as this has changed variables before in the past. | 21:33 |
| curlyears | MonkeyDust: I used the "creat an install DVD", the icon for which I locatdd in dash-> c > | 21:34 |
| MonkeyDust | curlyears and where did you get the iso? | 21:35 |
| curlyears | MonkeyDust: I d/led if from ubuntu current release page, which I was pointed to by one of the fellows over in #ubuntu+1 | 21:36 |
| MonkeyDust | curlyears ubuntu+1 is for 16.04 ... which version are you installing? | 21:36 |
| curlyears | I am currently downloading it again. | 21:36 |
| curlyears | MonkeyDust: : LTS 14.04.2 (but they recommended installing .3 instead). The felklows in +1 have been trying to ohelp me, even though I am not working with 16.04 | 21:38 |
| curlyears | why isd the word "over" showinf up in blue, when the rest of my text is black? | 21:39 |
| MonkeyDust | curlyears yes, install 14.04.3 ... not sure if 14.04.2 is eol | 21:39 |
| curlyears | .2 SAYS it is intalling successfully, but aFTER REPEATDD TRIES, IT STILL WON'T BOOT | 21:39 |
| curlyears | sorry for the caps | 21:39 |
| zykotick9 | debug0x1: "..Sandisk? They have issues." or in other cases, they work when most others do not (with Libreboot for example). it's best not to make such statements. | 21:39 |
| MonkeyDust | curlyears yes, 14.04.3 will boot ... no need for 14.04.2 | 21:40 |
| curlyears | 5 minutes remaining in the d/l | 21:40 |
| curlyears | MonkeyDust: that's just the install DVD I alreadyt had, I woul;d've run all the updates on it after installation | 21:41 |
| curlyears | I am trying to install to a 3TB parition on a 3TB HDD | 21:41 |
| curlyears | less /swap and /boot, of course | 21:42 |
| curlyears | if the install isn't bootable, why didn't the installer report errors? | 21:42 |
| edfinch | I'm setting up a server. I have an SSD for /, and a RAID 1 HDD for /var /home and /tmp. How do I make all three in the same md0 partition in gparted? | 21:42 |
| MonkeyDust | edfinch there's also #ubuntu-server | 21:43 |
| curlyears | I installed .2 in July with no difficulties (on a 500GB drive, w/8GB RAM), now I am trying with the 3TB drive and 24GB RAM | 21:43 |

| RoyTheRocket | Hello, does anyone have any suggestions for an affordable motherboard that is ubuntu friendly broadwell (LGA 1150 socket or something similar) | 21:51 |
| MonkeyDust | RoyTheRocket that's for #ubuntu-offtopic | 21:52 |
| Bashing-om | MWM: Verify UUIDs sudo blkid, /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/grub.cfg ?? | 21:52 |
| === cpaelzer is now known as cpaelzer_afk | ||
| RoyTheRocket | oh ok sorry MonkeyDust | 21:52 |
| MWM | have you found a broadwell board that says it wont support ubuntu? | 21:52 |
| === cpaelzer_afk is now known as cpaelzer | ||
| RoyTheRocket | I just dont want issues, like hard freeze | 21:52 |
| MWM | Bashing-om: Im lost once I hit this prompt. I see a list of stuff commands that are here but which one? | 21:53 |
| Ben64 | RoyTheRocket: you can get anything, i've never had a problem with a motherboard | 21:53 |
| RoyTheRocket | I dont know I have had problems in the past with hard freezes because of hardware, I just dont want any issues | 21:54 |
| Ben64 | could have been actually bad hardware | 21:55 |
| RoyTheRocket | maybe Ben64 but these computers worked fine with windows/mac | 21:56 |
| MWM | Roy: I cant say for certain but I cannot imagine any modern board that supports broadwell not supporting ubuntu. Thats the best I got for ya though | 21:56 |
| RoyTheRocket | yeah you are probably right | 21:56 |
| Bashing-om | MWM: I would boot a liveDVD, mount the external's root partiton and verify those UUiDs in terminal . | 21:56 |
| curlyears | MWM : have considered the possibilty of a bad cable in the enclosure? | 21:56 |
| MWM | Bashing-om: thats where I was headed next. I can do a complete reinstall if need be. I just was hoping to take care of this without going that far | 21:57 |
| MWM | curlyears: the cable is good, and the enclosure was known working until a few days ago | 21:58 |
| Bashing-om | MWM: IF it is wrong UUIDs for the devices - failrly easy fix . | 21:58 |
| MWM | Bashing-om: that is likely the case. I removed the drive and added others. Fstab is out of date now or something? | 21:59 |
| curlyears | my RPi motor control hat and servo motor just arrived...oh, boy, new toys! | 21:59 |
| Bashing-om | MWM: That is my theory .. or grub got lied to about the UUIDs and is trying to boot what is not . | 22:00 |
| abi__ | is daftykins there | 22:01 |
| daftykins | yep | 22:01 |
| curlyears | Bashing-om: any clue what's causing my issue? | 22:01 |
| abi__ | ok man i just copied the entire partation | 22:01 |
| abi__ | and delete it and create now 50 gb | 22:01 |
| daftykins | mmm no you don't need to create anything like that right now | 22:02 |
| MWM | so after that do I need to alter the fstab or is there a way to force autodetect? | 22:02 |
| daftykins | just leave the space blank... and change the disk to 'basic' | 22:02 |
| abi__ | i cannot change it to basic | 22:02 |
| Bashing-om | curlyears: As above, boot a liveDVD, have a look at the UUIds - as reflected by what is real from ' sudo blkid ' in the files /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/grub.cfg . | 22:02 |
| abi__ | as the option is locked | 22:02 |
| abi__ | right click on disk 0 and the conversion to basic is locked | 22:03 |
| daftykins | ok, nevermind then for that part | 22:03 |
| daftykins | abi__: can you share a fresh screenshot of disk management? | 22:04 |
| abi__ | ok wait | 22:04 |
| curlyears | Bashing-om: unfortunatel, all that has been tried, and appears normal and correct, but after I install, I get seemingly random error and boot failures. I can cd to the disk that I am installlin to, so I know the system sees it properly | 22:05 |
| li | I downloaed an GUI application but it doesn't run unless I fire it from terminal! | 22:05 |
| curlyears | one thing I seem to see more often than not is "invalid magic" | 22:06 |
| li | I've chmod it 777 and ls alt it -rwxrwxr-x | 22:06 |
| piousminion | I just realized 14.04 doesn't use systemd. What init system does it use? | 22:06 |
| daftykins | upstart | 22:06 |
| Bashing-om | curlyears: Graphics driver situation ? .. Is this AMB or Nvidia ? Have you tried the boot parameter 'nomodeset' to get a usable display ? Then install a graphic's driver . | 22:06 |
| Bashing-om | AMD* | 22:07 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: invalid magic usually means the header of the file etc. is wrong | 22:07 |
| EriC^^ | the part that says what that file or disk or whatever is | 22:07 |
| abi__ | dafitykins please check http://imgur.com/6PhZZLn | 22:08 |
| curlyears | Bash: the system isn't booting. The only differnce is that I am trying to reinstall on a 3TB HDD, whereas original install was to a 500GB HDD. I tiered to apply the update 16.57 that ubuntu pushed to me, and it trASHED THE BOOT PARTITION ON THE 500gb DRIVE | 22:08 |
| curlyears | daang, sorry for the all caps | 22:09 |
| daftykins | abi__: ok, delete E: | 22:09 |
| abi__ | ok | 22:09 |
| abi__ | wait | 22:09 |
| curlyears | EriC^^: : OK. why would the install leave a header file out and not report an error? Installed claims installation complete, but I can't boot from HD | 22:10 |
| curlyears | installer, not installed | 22:10 |
| abi__ | ok dafitykins check this http://imgur.com/Onm3XIL | 22:11 |
| curlyears | I have verified that the install DVD is correct and undamaged | 22:11 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: maybe it's a corrupted file? | 22:11 |
| daftykins | abi__: yep, now resize D: (increase) so it has more space for all the data you put on C: | 22:11 |
| EriC^^ | did you checksum the iso? | 22:11 |
| Bashing-om | curlyears: A thought . corrupt burn ? Have you from the liveDVD's boot menu " check disk for defects " ? | 22:11 |
| curlyears | Bashing-om: Yes, several times. It is reported to be unflawed | 22:12 |
| abi__ | i didnt put any data in c | 22:12 |
| abi__ | i put all the data of e to d | 22:12 |
| curlyears | and I have installed on mulitple machine successfully with that DVD, as well | 22:12 |
| curlyears | including this one in July | 22:13 |
| EriC^^ | maybe the hdd is going bad | 22:13 |
| EriC^^ | or the partition table was corrupted or something | 22:13 |
| EriC^^ | try booting a live usb and run fsck on it and smartctl to check the health | 22:13 |
| curlyears | all that's different is a 3TB drive in polace of 500GB, and 24 GB RAM in place of 8GB | 22:13 |
| daftykins | abi__: oh ok, i thought D: was too small for all of it. now, right click in the 'unallocated' and make an *extended* DOS partition | 22:13 |
| curlyears | it's a brand new HDD | 22:14 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: boot a live usb | 22:14 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: when you say you can cd to the disk you're installing to | 22:15 |
| EriC^^ | are you dd'ing the install here?? | 22:15 |
| MWM | cripes ubuntu desktop is taking a long time to boot from DVD. | 22:15 |
| abi__ | dafitykins is that exfat | 22:15 |
| Bashing-om | curlyears: Added ram ? sure all the ram is compatible ? What does a memtest86 reveal ? | 22:16 |
| curlyears | Eric^^ I dl=ed 14.04.3 a while ago, and used create install disk application to burn an bootable install USB ion an 8GB USB, it failed about 1/3 of the way through creating it, issuing a meaningless "Error 5" | 22:16 |
| daftykins | abi__: it doesn't have a file system, because it's just a container for more partitions... not a partition itself (kind of) | 22:16 |
| Bashing-om | MWM: Yeah ... takes a bit of time to load into ram . | 22:16 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: try to dd the iso there | 22:16 |
| curlyears | memtest86 ran for several hours, and found 0 flaws in the RAM | 22:16 |
| abi__ | if i right click on that i see only new simple volume properties and help | 22:17 |
| curlyears | EriC^^: dd *.iso to USB no options? | 22:17 |
| curlyears | I didn't think iso-s were bootable | 22:17 |
| daftykins | special ones are :) | 22:17 |
| Bashing-om | curlyears: Well, that is a good thing ! :) ... I back to considering "what else " . | 22:17 |
| curlyears | OK | 22:18 |
| daftykins | abi__: hmm, what is the first choice after 'new simple volume' ? | 22:18 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: sudo dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M && sync | 22:18 |
| abi__ | properties only | 22:18 |
| daftykins | abi__: no i mean the choice when you pick new simple | 22:18 |
| curlyears | ahhh, thanks EriC^^ | 22:18 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: type sudo parted -l to get your usb's /dev/sdX | 22:18 |

| daftykins | if you want | 22:27 |
| MWM | Ive been working lubuntu 15.10 for the last couple weeks. Its alright, but it feels ....airy :0 | 22:28 |
| curlyears | his Live CD stuff is sometimes confusing, paths are strange | 22:28 |
| MWM | It just doesnt seem as solid as Ubuntu desktop. the full fledged desktop version is too heavy for my purposes though | 22:28 |
| MonkeyDust | curlyears strange? | 22:28 |
| abi__ | ok thankx let me try | 22:29 |
| abi__ | i will be back after | 22:29 |
| Voyage | viruaposta, how to make sure I remove all skypies | 22:29 |
| curlyears | MonkeyDust: unfamiliar and a little confusing. Remember that I am an Old Farte | 22:29 |
| MonkeyDust | old is relative | 22:30 |
| Voyage | viruaposta, brb | 22:31 |
| Voyage | reboot | 22:31 |
| curlyears | in any case. I am gogin to try to dd the ios fiel now | 22:32 |
| MWM | So now I am looking at these UUID's . If I change around the fstab to match my output I will be able to boot the OS from my external drive? what Id really like to do is transplant the OS to a different drive and have that be the boot device | 22:33 |
| Bashing-om | MWM: Ya figgured out how to see the install's /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/cfg files from that liveDVD ? | 22:33 |
| daftykins | MWM: a different drive *again* from the external one? can we maybe start from the start and be told what you are doing from the beginning? :P | 22:34 |
| MWM | Bashing-om: I havent got that far because Im not sure I want to boot from the drive on USB. As I said I would like to just transfer that OS over to a completely different drive...so I havent mounted it yet or looked through the/etc/fstab or the grub file you mentioned | 22:35 |
| === lulcat is now known as lppp | ||
| MWM | daftykins: its different this time I swear! :) | 22:35 |
| === lppp is now known as lulcat | ||
| daftykins | i just feel like we're being involved half way through something... | 22:35 |
| MWM | The last time I couldnt readt a 6TB drive from the external. Now Ive got the 6TB in the machine and want to move the OS. Only way I could do it was to put the OS drive on the external.... then I got stuck | 22:36 |
| curlyears | can't he just use dd to copy one disk to the other? | 22:36 |
| daftykins | curlyears: size is an issue i would imagine. | 22:36 |
| EriC^^ | plus it's very inefficient | 22:36 |
| EriC^^ | copies free space too | 22:36 |
| daftykins | MWM: so, OS disk + 6TB... you copied the OS drive... that sounds insane | 22:37 |
| curlyears | daftykins: : why wou.ld size be an issue? ubuntu can't handle very klarge drives? | 22:37 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: drive size mismatches | 22:37 |
| MWM | nonono... OS is on an 80gb drive. Moving the 6TB into the machine to replace the little 80GB | 22:37 |
| daftykins | curlyears: a 6TB disk wouldn't fit on a <6TB external... | 22:37 |

| curlyears | I thought he want to close his OS *TO* the 6TB drive, sowwy | 22:38 |
| curlyears | clone, not close | 22:38 |
| daftykins | hmm it was easy to get confused, you might well be right | 22:38 |
| daftykins | MWM: yeah why didn't you just dd :P you're totally making a mountain out of a mole hill here and it's quite frankly ridiculous | 22:39 |
| curlyears | you can watch Netflix on ubuntu? tell me more | 22:39 |
| Voyage | can anyone help me with installing skype: http://pastie.org/10649575#1,18,145,246,262,280,293,305,323 | 22:39 |
| BlackFate | curlyears, "Thanks to recent efforts at Netflix and Canonical, Ubuntu now supports watching Netflix with Chrome version 37. Chrome is available to all Ubuntu users with up-to-date installations of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, 14.04 LTS and later." | 22:39 |
| daftykins | Niklas_: yes HTML5, DRM components no... you need chrome for that. | 22:39 |
| Niklas_ | daftykins: chrome or chromium better? | 22:40 |
| EriC^^ | daftykins: he'd still need to resize the partition + resize the filesystem, plus if it's to a 6tb he probably needs it to be gpt | 22:40 |
| MWM | Thats it? dd? or at the most boot from liveCD again and fix fstab? | 22:40 |
| MWM | gotta run. Ill drop back in iof I have issues. thanks guys | 22:40 |
| EriC^^ | would be way easier to just create a fresh partition table and copy the root filesystem using rsync from a live session | 22:40 |
| curlyears | thanks, BlackFare | 22:40 |
| BlackFate | Niklas_, not sure if chromium will do | 22:41 |
| Bashing-om | curlyears: Netflix .. Google-chrome gets around the DRM . I understand works a treat ! | 22:41 |
| curlyears | EriC^^: how large o drive does it take to require gpt? I am trying ti install to a 3TB drive with the whole drive as one parition | 22:41 |
| daftykins | Niklas_: only chrome, chromium does not support the proprietary DRM component | 22:41 |
| Niklas_ | okay | 22:41 |
| Niklas_ | thanks guys | 22:41 |
| EriC^^ | i probably should have highlighted him, let's hope he has a gpt partition on the 60gb one | 22:41 |
| daftykins | curlyears: one isn't enough for Linux | 22:41 |
| TJ- | daftykins: MWM not necessarily; with a 6TB advanced format device, the physical/logical sector sizes will be different and so LBA offsets will point to the wrong offsets | 22:41 |
| daftykins | TJ-: ah har, didn't realise dd wouldn't handle that | 22:42 |
| * Voyage waits | 22:42 | |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: you need gpt if you want 2tb+ partitions | 22:42 |
| curlyears | aha.....that is my big problem! How do I install gpt? | 22:43 |
| TJ- | daftykins: nothing to do with dd; that'll be fine, but if you copy over to a different sized drive the tagret may have different physical/logical mappings, so LBA 1 on source maybe at 4096 bytes, but on target may be 512 bytes, etc. | 22:43 |
| bartosz_ | hi | 22:43 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: sudo cgdisk /dev/sdX , then you press "o" to create a fresh partition table ( it'll wipe the disk though and you'll lose all data ) | 22:43 |
| bartosz_ | can anyone help me | 22:43 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: actually i mean sudo gdisk /dev/sdX | 22:43 |
| bartosz_ | I have kubuntu, and can't install anything via apt-get | 22:43 |
| bartosz_ | even steam, kwrite... lol | 22:43 |
| dekr4ken | whats the error | 22:44 |
| BlackFate | bartosz_, did you try to "apt-get update" ? | 22:44 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: you can use gparted to create a gpt partition table easily and make partitions too | 22:44 |
| rizi | i am trying to do pentesting and i have a specfic problem which i cant solve. can anyone recomend me a good irc chennal | 22:44 |

| rizi | dekr4ken, thanks i will join it | 22:45 |

| bartosz_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14183036/ | 22:48 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: yeah it's on the live cd, once you install it's deleted though and you have to manually install it | 22:48 |
| curlyears | ho9ow do you do that, EriC^^? | 22:48 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: it's one of the icons on the left if you're using unity | 22:48 |
| EriC^^ | sudo apt-get install gparted | 22:49 |
| daftykins | bartosz_: paste "sudo apt update" | 22:49 |

| daftykins | the default Desktop | 22:49 |
| MonkeyDust | curlyears with the bar on the left | 22:49 |
| curlyears | OK, there is no gparted on my left bar of icons | 22:50 |

| abi__ | hello dafitykins are you there | 22:51 |
| daftykins | abi__: yep | 22:51 |
| abi__ | check this http://imgur.com/3FH7WRS | 22:51 |
| abi__ | and also check this http://imgur.com/4siIBAk | 22:52 |
| curlyears | found gparted editor on the dASH | 22:52 |
| daftykins | abi__: ok, looks like dynamic disks do not allow ubuntu to be installed | 22:53 |
| abi__ | yes | 22:53 |
| abi__ | so what is the way to remove that | 22:53 |
| daftykins | abi__: oh dear, bad news: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755238.aspx they say delete everything and start again | 22:54 |
| daftykins | whoever converted your disk to dynamic in the first place deserves a lump of coal for Christmas | 22:54 |
| abi__ | aah that is not possible | 22:55 |
| bartosz_ | dafty have you seen my issue (sry for interrupting) | 22:55 |
| curlyears | ok, I am in gparted..now what do I do? I see the three partition the bios_grub flagged, the ma9in drive 2.71 TiB avail, and the swap partion...what do I do with them? | 22:55 |
| daftykins | abi__: then no ubuntu i think. | 22:55 |
| abi__ | yes i have to get new hdd | 22:55 |
| daftykins | bartosz_: i see kali repos and other things, plus you're in 13.04 - your machine is too old to fix, i'd clean install. | 22:56 |
| bartosz_ | 13.04? | 22:56 |
| daftykins | yes, raring | 22:56 |
| bartosz_ | 14.04 | 22:56 |
| abi__ | now only i have is virtual box | 22:56 |
| daftykins | bartosz_: no you've got mixed repos which are breaking everything :) | 22:56 |
| daftykins | abi__: yeah, that'd be the only option right now | 22:56 |
| abi__ | thankx for your support dafitykins | 22:57 |
| bartosz_ | yes because there no tools for trusty but can i remove kali repos and everythin will be ok? | 22:57 |
| evon | My mbox mini stopped working for some reason on my desktop. But it works on my laptop just fine. Both are running 15.10 but my desktop has the kernel 4.2.0-22-generic and my laptop is has 4.2.0-21-generic. Can anyone help? | 22:57 |
| daftykins | abi__: no problem, sorry we couldn't find an answer | 22:57 |
| daftykins | bartosz_: no, you've ruined that install | 22:57 |
| bartosz_ | omg | 22:57 |
| abi__ | hahaha that was not your fault | 22:57 |
| daftykins | ^_^ | 22:58 |
| bartosz_ | ok, will be better becuase on grub first is starting kali | 22:58 |
| daftykins | bartosz_: you can try, but i don't personally think it'd be a worthy investment of time | 22:58 |
| bartosz_ | i'm going to install kubuntu again | 22:58 |
| curlyears | geez, this thin gis takinG *FOREVER* to finish creating this "persistance file" which it claims it is 99% coomplete. what the * is a "persistance file?" | 22:58 |
| daftykins | curlyears: if you're just making a flash drive to install from, you did not need that | 22:59 |
| curlyears | OK, I cancelled that | 23:00 |
| curlyears | what am I supposed to do once I am in g[arted? how do I create gpt partitions? | 23:01 |
| daftykins | i wasn't following tbh | 23:01 |
| daftykins | not sure what you're doing | 23:01 |
| curlyears | daftykins I was trying to install to a 3TB HDD )-: with standard 14.04.2 tools | 23:02 |
| daftykins | i would not use 14.04.2 as it has the old 3.16 kernel | 23:02 |
| curlyears | so MonkeyDust proposed using gparted to create gpt partitions | 23:02 |
| SonikkuAmerica | daftykins: Well you can't just blanket say that, necessarily, becuase some people will install the latest stack (linux-generic-lts-wily and whatnot) | 23:03 |
| ryanleesipes | What channel is the Ubuntu Touch channel? Is it #ubuntutouch? | 23:04 |
| OpenSorce | Is there not a common way to make a usb rescue disk without having to download the entire Ubuntu iso? | 23:04 |
| daftykins | SonikkuAmerica: i can just blanket say that, because i mentioned a specific version and because it's an old HWE | 23:04 |
| daftykins | #ubuntu-touch | 23:04 |
| curlyears | when I clicked <cancel> on the persistence file thing, it broght up a popup that asked "Do you really want to quit the installationo now?" on wwhich I clickdd <quit> and now it appears hung | 23:04 |
| evon | How do I downgrade my kernel? | 23:05 |
| daftykins | why would you want to? | 23:06 |
| SonikkuAmerica | daftykins: OK, I'll back off :P | 23:06 |
| evon | daftykins, because my mbox stopped working with this kernel update | 23:06 |
| curlyears | so, do I have a bootable, usable install image on my USB or not? | 23:06 |
| daftykins | evon: 'mbox' ? so you booted the old and it works just fine? | 23:06 |
| daftykins | curlyears: not if you tried to add persistence and cancelled, i'd remake it without that complication | 23:07 |
| evon | daftykins, I have the old on my laptop and it works fine | 23:07 |
| curlyears | daftykins: ok..what is a "persistence file?" | 23:07 |
| daftykins | "the old" is a bit vague since i don't know what you're running on either | 23:07 |
| Voyage | can anyone help me with installing skype: http://pastie.org/10649575#1,18,145,246,262,280,293,305,323 | 23:08 |
| daftykins | curlyears: lets a live session keep changes between reboots. | 23:08 |
| curlyears | oooohhhhhh, cool. that would be handy ibn shit situation | 23:08 |
| curlyears | in this situation, sowwy | 23:08 |
| daftykins | curlyears: mmm no. | 23:08 |
| daftykins | you're just complicating a simple task right now :) | 23:08 |
| curlyears | well, I'll try again | 23:09 |
| daftykins | Voyage: "dpkg -l | grep skype" in a paste please | 23:09 |
| daftykins | Voyage: also that paste is about as deep as rabbit holes get i think ;) | 23:09 |

| Voyage | daftykins, :) | 23:10 |
| daftykins | Voyage: i said in a paste, so like the above site... not IRC. | 23:10 |
| Voyage | oh | 23:10 |
| Voyage | was just one line | 23:11 |
| daftykins | if it was only that line though, too late now | 23:11 |
| daftykins | Voyage: i think you have some PPAs added which are ruining the installation of skype | 23:11 |
| Voyage | hm | 23:11 |
| curlyears | I don't believe *I* am making anyting "complicated." This issue has been a nighrmare for mwe | 23:11 |
| Voyage | daftykins, how do i find out? | 23:11 |
| curlyears | what is a PPA? | 23:11 |
| daftykins | Voyage: "sudo apt update" would list some other junk, you could throw that in a paste... or look in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 23:12 |
| daftykins | curlyears: i don't think fighting a statement is going to change anything right now | 23:12 |
| Voyage | daftykins, I have observed that for a fresh kubuntu install, skype installs just fine. but if done after few months. it doesnt | 23:12 |
| daftykins | !ppa > curlyears | 23:12 |
| ubottu | curlyears, please see my private message | 23:12 |
| curlyears | and again, how do I use g[arted to make gft partitions? | 23:12 |
| daftykins | Voyage: mmm, probably | 23:12 |
| Voyage | daftykins, nothign in /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 23:13 |
| daftykins | curlyears: select disk -> Device menu -> create partition table | 23:13 |

| BlackFate | boxmein, "nohup python ./script.py & 2>&1 >script.log &" | 23:35 |
| daftykins | oh great, so now you're going to jump in and do the above huh? | 23:35 |

| bekks | BlackFate: And a double & | 23:35 |
| Voyage | daftykins, iam asking you | 23:36 |

| daftykins | Voyage: for me it's just "sudo apt-get install skype skype-bin" | 23:36 |
| BlackFate | boxmein, i just copy pasted your line and added nohup at the beginning and a & in the end | 23:36 |
| BlackFate | boxmein, i didn't read your command :) | 23:36 |
| BlackFate | boxmein, apologies | 23:36 |
| Voyage | daftykins, for you theres an error for that command. again. The following packages have unmet dependencies: skype-bin:i386 : Depends: libqtwebkit4:i386 (>= 2.2~2011week36) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 | 23:37 |
| daftykins | use a paste site. | 23:37 |
| boxmein | BlackFate: why the nohup? :P | 23:37 |
| boxmein | BlackFate: oh, it's alright :D | 23:37 |
| daftykins | for the umpteenth time i need to see it all from the beginning :) | 23:37 |
| BlackFate | boxmein, with nohup, your program will not die when you close the terminal | 23:37 |
| boxmein | BlackFate: does this still apply if the terminal is a ssh session? | 23:38 |
| BlackFate | boxmein, yes | 23:38 |

| daftykins | 'again' ? i needed you to pay attention to what i was suggesting, by mixing advice you've not screwed that up | 23:40 |
| daftykins | i give up, sorry - but that's irritating behaviour. | 23:40 |
| curlyears | SB I just created won't boot! It complains about an "invalid filesystem" and dumps me into gurb rescue, which I have no idea how to use (and which contINS NO HELP i CAN FIND) | 23:40 |
| Voyage | daftykins, no, I followed you advice fully. Then switched to other one | 23:41 |

| daftykins | yep and thus screwed it up | 23:41 |

| boxmein | BlackFate: oh, I've used screen in the past, haven't needed leaving a terminal open just yet but I will find an use for it soon I bet :D | 23:45 |

| curlyears | ( I find the command line a little more flexible than the GUI ) | 23:52 |
| daftykins | redownload the ISO, hash it, then dd it on straight without any GUI tools | 23:52 |
| linuxApprentice | curlyears: how did you transfer ubuntu iso to usb stick? | 23:53 |
| Voyage | is ti possible if I have skype on another machine, I somehow bundle it and its dependencies and install the same skype on another machine? | 23:53 |
| daftykins | confirm the command you use with this channel before using it | 23:53 |
| Voyage | or somehow make that machine as a source of skype install? | 23:53 |
| linuxApprentice | Voyage: host a ppa | 23:53 |
| curlyears | linuxApprentice: I used the "create an install disk" tool | 23:53 |
| Voyage | linuxApprentice, I just have skype install on another machine | 23:54 |
| curlyears | it claimed to have completed successfully. | 23:54 |
| linuxApprentice | curlyears: from? | 23:54 |
| curlyears | there is 1GB of data and files on the thumb. | 23:54 |
| linuxApprentice | curlyears: what happens when you try to boot from the usb stick? it boots from the hd? | 23:54 |
| curlyears | from a iso downloaded directly from ubuntu's web page for 14.04.3 | 23:55 |
