[00:00] TJ-: daftykins https://imgur.com/KeQ8WED [00:00] Does anyone know why when ubuntu-installer starts via PXE, the text gets all jacked up and garbled? [00:01] I've tried setting it to 9600, 19200, 57600, 115200 [00:01] all of them do the same [00:01] 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] simon235_: OK, no goto the "Details" tab, and find the vendor and product IDs (4 hexadecimal digits each) [00:02] daftykins: it's on Bus 7 according to that [00:02] http://imgur.com/0ALFLGV <--- this is what the install screen looks like when it starts [00:02] TJ-: 3 turn up at once whenever i'm waiting ;) [00:02] I've tried passing various options to the kernel: nomodeset, noplymouth, etc etc === dotpixis is now known as krampuss [00:03] 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] afjjfjsad: are you installing from a USB or Disk? [00:03] PXE [00:03] afjjfjsad: that looks virtualised, more than just PXE [00:03] ANYONE? just installed ubuntu 14.04 on a lenovo yoga 13 and it does not recognize pointer device (trackpad) any help? [00:03] it's PXE to a headless server [00:04] jonny5000: no idea but you can begin picking through /var/log/Xorg.0.log to identify it [00:04] 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] but it's all real hardware [00:04] jonny5000: you can try some of the things suggested here as well: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [00:05] daftykins: I'm wondering if acpi_osi magic is needed to enable the device [00:05] thanks. will look. relative novice with ubuntu [00:05] /quit [00:05] simon235_: daftykins: dmesg shows e.g. "\_SB_.PCI0:_OSC invalid UUID" [00:06] ooh [00:06] simon235_: daftykins and "[Firmware Bug]: ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored" ... so it'll be in "fail-safe' minimal mode [00:06] nicomachus, thank you. relative novice here [00:06] 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 [00:07] daftykins: what's the betting it needs "acpi_osi=Windows 2015" or similar? [00:07] hehehe [00:07] how annoying [00:08] TJ-: I don't find "Provider ID" nor "vendor", just "Provider" (Microsoft) [00:09] out of interest is the driver provided by samsung? [00:09] 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] jonny5000: np, if you have questions after trying a few of those things just speak up. :) [00:09] daftykins: which one? [00:10] 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] mmm possibly, lets see [00:11] is it safe to resize my /boot partition? [00:11] afjjfjsad: you say its a PXE boot; do you mean it's using a netconsole? [00:11] 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 ! [00:12] jonny5000: ok, np. can you paste the output of 'xinput list' to a pastebin and link here? [00:12] TJ-: daftykins sent you share screen links [00:12] simon235_: on the "Details" tab my SSD has "Device instance path" which has a long string with info [00:12] nicomachus, in the var/log file i see a whole bunch of lines about synaptics and i think my trackpad is SynPS/2 [00:13] nicomachus, yes [00:13] xcelq: not sure what you're asking, sorry. [00:13] 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] daftykins: SCSI\DISK&VEN_NVME&PROD_SAMSUNG_MZVLV128\4&E84421F&0&070000 [00:13] TJ-: ^^ [00:13] http://www.tecmint.com/add-ubuntu-to-pxe-network-boot/ <-- like this [00:13] 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) [00:14] TJ-: is the above what you wanted? [00:14] 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] 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] simon235_: daftykins yes, that no :) [00:14] nicomachus, http://pastebin.com/Mnh2L6nX [00:15] I'm passing console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 to the kernel [00:15] via "apped" in my pxelinux.cfg [00:15] append* [00:15] simon235_: daftykins that's showing us the vendor is likely the 'standard' NVMe class driver [00:15] jonny5000: ok, enter: xinput set-prop 13 "Device Enabled" 1 [00:15] simon235_: daftykins what we now need is the Device Manager tree view so we can see which PCIe root hub it is connected to [00:16] nicomachus, ok done [00:16] TJ-: is the "Last known parent" dev manager parameter useful for that? [00:16] jonny5000: touchpad work now? [00:16] afjjfjsad: like I said; your terminal likely needs more options such as 'istrip' - see "man 1 stty" for the options [00:16] nicomachus, still no pointer on screen or trackpad activity [00:17] oh snap [00:17] missed that part [00:17] 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] TJ-: daftykins PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2822&SUBSYS_1CED1043&REV_31\3&11583659&1&B8 [00:18] simon235_: you'll probably want to select View -> Devices by connection ; then expand it and make a new screenshot [00:18] simon235_: ooo, let me x-ref that to your earlier 'lspci' [00:18] simon235_: that's the "00:17.0 RAID bus controller [0104]: Intel Corporation SATA Controller [RAID mode] [8086:2822] (rev 31)" [00:19] jonny5000: ok, perhaps try this: sudo apt-get install gpointing-device-settings [00:19] TJ-: daftykins https://imgur.com/WUtKrPD [00:19] krampuss: dpkg -l | grep linux- | pastebinit [00:20] nicomachus, thank you. did that. now what [00:20] 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] TJ-: holy crap dude, that worked [00:20] mmm i guess intel do have some kind of RAID setup that's making SSDs awkward [00:20] 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] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14154132/ [00:20] afjjfjsad: it usually does [00:20] nicomachus, ok will do [00:20] 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] afjjfjsad: never a happy experience :D [00:21] welp, im outski. thanks again [00:21] TJ-: i think you're right with the latter, but would RAID mode being changed kill the Windows install? usually does [00:21] simon235_: nice one! So, it is on that 8086:2822 controller! [00:22] 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] 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. [00:23] jonny5000: we aren't done yet. :) Go to system settings --> mouse & touchpad now, and verify what those settings are [00:23] 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] TJ-: unfortunately, I don't really sure I understood what you said. [00:24] 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] 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] kill -9 idofproccess [00:24] OneM_Industries: use kill based on name, as per man page [00:24] jonny5000: great. are they greyed out or can you actually interact? [00:25] OneM_Industries: pkill [00:25] Ah, perfect. [00:25] ^ [00:25] 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] nicomachus, actually they are: [] disable while typing; []tap to click [] two finger scroll [] natural scrolling ...... and they can interact and are not grayed [00:26] TJ-: got this part :) [00:26] jonny5000: ok good. give her a reboot and see if your touchpad works once it's booted up again. [00:26] zwischenzug: is MEMCG_SWAP=y ? [00:26] Second question, I want to open a process that needs the display via ssh. [00:26] zwischenzug: MEMCG_KMEM is not related to MEMCG_SWAP_ENABLED afaik [00:26] 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] OneM_Industries: ssh -X ? [00:26] nicomachus, hmmm. i will do that, but those buttons were interactable before... does that change your recommendation? [00:27] nacc: What does that do? [00:27] nicomachus, if not, be right back... [00:27] OneM_Industries: enables X11 forwarding over ssh [00:27] jonny5000: nope, just wanted to make sure they still were. [00:27] ok [00:27] OneM_Industries: I assume by "display" you meant the X server [00:27] nicomachus, ok BRB [00:27] 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] zwischenzug: MEMCG_KMEM is for controlling kernel memory allocations [00:28] 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] application* [00:28] TJ-: because linux cannot cooperate with ahci? [00:29] OneM_Industries: oh, then you probably need to export an appropriate DISPLAY variable [00:29] Er.. [00:29] So, how would I do that? [00:30] nicomachus, OMG!!! thank you!! [00:30] jonny5000: working now? [00:30] OneM_Industries: export DISPLAY=":0.0" # one possible option. [00:30] nicomachus, yes! working now [00:30] excellent! good to hear. [00:30] 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] OneM_Industries: it depends on what your X server is running as on the target, presuming the target is Linux, etc. [00:30] nicomachus, for my edification, what was the issue in essence? [00:31] OneM_Industries: bu what SchrodingersScat said is accurate [00:31] so how can i get rid of my "bloatware" so that i can install my latest security updates? [00:31] The target is Linux, the application is Rythmbox. [00:31] 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] 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. [00:32] 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] TJ-: so why ubuntu can't see the SSD via the AHCI? [00:32] So, I just run export DISPLAY=":0.0" basically? [00:32] 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] nicomachus, GREAT. THANK YOU. where are you located? I need to send some positive vibes there [00:32] 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 :/ [00:33] jonny5000: I've had plenty this week, share them with people around you. :) [00:33] OneM_Industries: yep, give it a try, run that, then in the same shell run rythmbox and see if it comes up. [00:33] nicomachus: jonny5000: just an FYI that there have been a lot of upstream fixes for the yoga series of laptops [00:33] 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] there's a series going in right now for the yoga 900, e.g. [00:33] afjjfjsad: so that's a local screen issue then [00:33] zwischenzug: if you set MEMCG_SWAP_ENABLED=y you don't need to pass swapaccount=1, fwiw [00:34] simon235_: but, in your Linux 'lspci' output the class code is [0104] [00:34] nicomachus, ok good to hear. what are the upstream fixes you speak of and how do i locate them and or implement? [00:34] zwischenzug: so you set MEMCG_SWAP=y, MEMCG_KMEM=y, MEMCG_SWAP_ENABLED=y in .config, ran oldconfig and they turned off? [00:34] TJ-: do you know why? [00:34] 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] TJ-: yea I'm gonna give minicom a shot and see if it handles it more gracefully. [00:35] 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] 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] 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] nacc: nicomachus: ok, so there is nothing i need to do then? [00:36] nice [00:36] nacc, * i'm not touching any .config file.* [00:36] jonny5000: yeah, i think 16.04 will support these devices a lot better, generally [00:36] zwischenzug: ok [00:37] Y O U G U Y S A R E A W E SO M E [00:37] 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] 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] i already got pulseaudio [00:37] doesnt work [00:37] everything should be working correctly according to alsamixer too [00:37] but no sound [00:38] how do I change which java processes uses [00:39] SebastianTCL: perhaps try: sudo apt-get install pavucontrol [00:39] i already did that nicomachus [00:40] 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] TJ-: sorry to annoy you, but how can I do this? [00:40] nope TJ- it is a laptop [00:40] SebastianTCL: does it have an HDMI port? [00:41] nicomachus, no [00:41] 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] 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] SebastianTCL: open up pavucontrol anyway and check the default sound device. [00:41] SebastianTCL: what does "aplay -L" report ? [00:42] Analog stereo duplex [00:42] nicomachus, http://pastebin.com/JHZpQcYs [00:43] TJ-, I have "Sata mode selection", and the only option is "RAID" [00:43] 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 [00:44] most likel the latter, zwischenzug [00:44] simon: really? no alternatives? is there some other option elsewhere to do with the PCIe or SATA controllers? [00:44] simon: with Asus having that broken web-site I cannot find the manuals to be able to review it [00:44] 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] given a filesystem with some version of ubuntu on it, how would you find out the distribution and version? for example Kubuntu 14.04... [00:45] pac1: lsb_release -a [00:45] pac1: cat the ./etc/issue file from the root file-system [00:45] ^ or that [00:45] nicomachus: lsb_release will only work if the system is running [00:46] lsb_release -a shows the version you are running, not the one you want to check. [00:46] whoops. [00:47] TJ your suggestion is exactly correct. [00:47] Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS \n \l [00:49] now how can I distinguish between an installed Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Kubuntu? [00:50] yeah the volume control is just not working [00:50] 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] pac1: maybe via the heading in ./etc/apt/sources.list (if it details the ISO/DVD media it installed from) [00:50] TJ-, under "sata config" I have only "sata mode selection" [00:50] simon: "rapid storage technology" !! [00:50] simon: maybe :P [00:52] TJ-, I can see there the disks details, but cannot change anything [00:53] do i have to get rid of alsa for pavucontrol to work? [00:53] 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] does anyone know what version kernel changes from overlayfs to overlay ? [00:54] simon: is SATA mode not on 'RAID' and can be changed to 'AHCI' ? [00:54] 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] simon: oh my bad, saw you said it's the only option. [00:55] daftykins, yep [00:56] SebastianTCL: try running through a few of these troubleshooting items: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [00:57] simon: It looks like that system isn't truly NVMe [00:57] pac1: to determine the desktop, " awk '/^Package: .*-desktop$/{P=$2} /^Status: install ok installed/ && P != "" {print P $0; P=""}' /mnt/target/var/lib/dpkg/status " [00:57] http://pastebin.com/TYuzMNvm === dex is now known as Guest79287 [00:58] SebastianTCL: ALSA is the kernel layer sound support, you can't 'get rid' of it [01:01] SebastianTCL: does this generate anything: " speaker-test -Dfront -l 2 -c 2 -t wav " [01:01] 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] TJ-, http://pastebin.com/2fC8mNZU [01:02] simon: right, because the controller isn't in NVMe mode, and apparently the firmware is buggy [01:02] SebastianTCL: looks like you have another process has exclusive access to the ALSA device right now [01:03] TJ-, how do I liberate it? [01:04] weird now there is a file on my home folder alsa.sh [01:04] it reads [01:04] http://pastebin.com/gnjqqVyf [01:05] SebastianTCL: probably best to reboot unless you know what programs you've been launching that may still have the device open. [01:05] brb [01:07] 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] i think this is probably ok though. thank you for your help, i really appreciate it. [01:09] TJ-, no sound still [01:09] after rebooting [01:10] hey all [01:11] anybody have experience with the spdif header with ubuntu? [01:12] SebastianTCL: did you re-run the 'speaker-test' and did it succeed to connect to the sound device? [01:13] TJ-, http://pastebin.com/y4kRTFVi [01:13] no sound [01:14] SebastianTCL: OK, you didn't use the command I gave you earlier, which may have made a difference [01:14] SebastianTCL: " speaker-test -Dfront -l 2 -c 2 -t wav " [01:14] TJ-, http://pastebin.com/dU7CrQ3Z [01:14] 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' ? [01:15] TJ-, yes the volumes are up in alsa [01:15] 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] SebastianTCL: have you installed any other sound controllers, such as Jack ? [01:16] not that i know of, how can i check [01:16] TJ-, [01:16] 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 [01:17] aha! fixed it! [01:17] 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] SebastianTCL: go on... how? [01:18] TJ-, daftykins do you have any idea what can I do about it? [01:18] simon: Yes, complain to Asus for selling defective PCs [01:18] TJ-, it seemed that S/PDIF was muted [01:19] TJ-, :( [01:19] SebastianTCL: good job! === administrator is now known as Guest77718 [01:19] SebastianTCL: so the mixer controls are mis-labelled, or you are using S/PDIF ? [01:19] xcelq, thanks [01:19] TJ-, this is what shows in alsamixer [01:20] 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 [01:21] TJ-, Master, Headphon, Speaker, PCM, Mic, Mic Boos, S/PDIF, Beep, Auto-Mut, Internal, Loopback [01:21] daftykins, yes, but then I won't have the advantages of SSD... [01:21] a harddrive check runs with sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda correct? [01:22] simon: indeed, but it's clearly the kind of laptop made with only Windows in mind :( [01:23] 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] simon: correct [01:24] daftykins, That's too bad. If I knew that maybe I wouldn't buy that from the first place. [01:24] simon: i doubt this will help but we've seen some BIOSs that showed more settings after putting in a password [01:24] 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 [01:25] simon: another triumph of Marketing over Technical excellence [01:25] HELP! Who was helping me before with the lenovo yoga trackpad?!!???!!? [01:26] jonny5000: someone who has gone shopping :) [01:26] TJ-, no wonder i cant locate the nick === JakeFromStateFar is now known as nolsen [01:27] TJ-, I just did something and rebooted and lost the trackpad again [01:28] * RedPenguin wishes he could find an SPDIF pinout for his board but figures it must be an HP secret [01:28] hello does this still look alright? I need an opinion http://paste.ubuntu.com/14155074/ [01:29] heh pinout for an optical output XD [01:29] TJ-, do you happen to have the record of the things that person was helping me with? I dont have the history! Or can you help ? [01:29] Abe: full output would've been better [01:29] !logs | jonny5000 [01:29] jonny5000: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too. Meeting logs from meetingology at http://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/ [01:29] jonny5000: this channel is publically... yeah that ^ [01:29] somsip: ^5! [01:32] daftykins: here http://paste.ubuntu.com/14155144/ pls look at the (sector size). I once had trouble with it and I was not able to fix it... [01:32] 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] simon: not really, don't use it on the desktop myself [01:33] daftykins, you're using only Ubuntu server? [01:33] simon, I suggest building a pc rather than buying one [01:33] simon: yeah i run Windows [01:34] 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] I know I should do a long test but I didn't [01:34] Abe: that's nothing, it's a 4K (advanced format) hard disk but is being addressed as 512-byte [01:34] How can I recover/continue a dist-upgrade? [01:34] !distupgrade [01:34] 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] acejudas, it could be hard for laptops, no? [01:34] (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] CrazyTB: i don't think it means what you have in mind :) [01:35] simon, I just joined the convo. figured you were talking about a pc [01:35] ok [01:35] SPDIF_Out is one of the strangest things to connect to on the motherboard [01:36] daftykins, ok, I need to go to sleep. Unfortunately I won't use the new computer at work tomorrow :( [01:36] 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] CrazyTB: try "sudo apt-get -f install" [01:36] 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] daftykins, thank you and TJ- for the help. You were very helpful and I appreciate it a lot. [01:36] 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 ^^ [01:37] simon: np! good luck with the return [01:37] Abe: it's totally normal :) [01:38] MOAR requests! [01:38] actually no, no more, it's bed time for me :D [01:39] daftykins: so on yours it also says I/O physical/logical 512/4096 ?? I would imagine it should say 4096/4096 [01:39] *or the other way around [01:39] Abe: look up advanced format drives :) [01:39] TJ, i added a bit and am using that code in a script. [01:39] daftykins: ok [01:40] awk '/^Package: .*-desktop$/{P=$2} /^Status: install ok installed/ && P != "" {print P $0; P=""}' $1/var/lib/dpkg/status |grep -v scopes|sed s/\-.*// [01:40] pac1: i believe he has retired for the night [01:43] 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] mmm, possibly too early back then [01:44] daftykins: too early? are you talking to me? [01:44] yeah too early having 1204 and EFI, it was all new back then [01:45] ok i have to go, laters \o [01:45] daftykins: ok, Yeah had to format and put 14.04 on it cuz I didn't know better [01:45] Abe: i put ubuntu mate 15.10 on mine [01:45] :P [01:46] nacc, can you help me? I seem to have lost the trackpad again and also lost nicomachus! [01:46] xcelq: is that ubuntu with gnome 2 installed I think? [01:46] Abe: yup [01:46] ubuntu with gtk2 [01:47] or [01:47] gnome with gtk2 [01:47] https://i.imgur.com/KwZzzOJ.jpg [01:47] my setup [01:47] xcelq: yeah liked that more than unity. good choice mine looks like gnome 2 but i'm using kde [01:48] Abe: i like xfce,mate,kde,lxqt [01:49] those are my de choices [01:49] for wm i like i3,dwm that it [01:49] and cwm [01:49] and 2bwm and bspwm [01:49] xcelq: this channel is for support, you can chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [01:49] sorry [01:51] xcelq: I don't know half of them ^^ ! only the first 3 === hypermist is now known as Infernoman === Infernoman is now known as hypermist [01:52] hey there [01:55] hi seraf === lola is now known as Guest18268 [01:59] !info sentry [01:59] Package sentry does not exist in wily [02:06] i give up, I don't think dvi to hdmi with spdif works [02:09] What's the reccommended way to switch to systemd when on 14.04? [02:12] thurstylark: the 'recommended way' is actually "You don't, without breaking things." [02:12] 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] teward: so the reccommended way is nuke and pave with 15.10 :P [02:12] i didn't say that [02:13] i said "update to", not "nuke it from orbit and reinstall" [02:13] I personally would say "Wait for 16.04, then upgrade", but I stick to LTS releases, so... [02:14] thurstylark: if you wish to nuke it from orbit and repave it with a clean install, then do that with 15.10 [02:14] or, wait a few more months :p [02:14] I just prefer reinstalling over upgrading. I'll look into it. [02:14] RedPenguin i can confirm to have seen a mainboard with DVI-D to HDMI cable to play sounds on a samsung tv [02:15] i think it used intel gma 500 gfx [02:15] I've had issues with this hardware. Apple will be apple. [02:18] is there a PPA for Qt > 5.2 that I can use with 14.04 *other* than the one that installs everything to /opt? [02:18] as in, one that just upgrades Qt?

[02:41] EN8400GS from EVGA [02:41] oh I'm sorry from ASUS [02:42] The other one I tried which is also 8400GS I believe is from EVGA [02:42] hello all [02:42] having a weird problem.. [02:42] I'm thinking it may be way easier to get something like the GT 210 or newer that doesn't even require SPDIF [02:42] randomly my dm will switch to one that the graphics are oversized and generally shitty looking [02:43] !language | glitchd [02:43] glitchd: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [02:43] trying to figure out how to either remove the dm its switching to or figure our why its switching [02:43] RedPenguin hmm im not sure if some hw support on the card is needed for that or if its a pure software solution. have you tried the nvidia-current and an dvi-d to hdmi cable? [02:43] slidinghorn, my apologies.. [02:44] !bug 1259842 [02:44] Error: Launchpad bug 1259842 could not be found [02:44] HELLO [02:44] glitchd: are you able to reliably reproduce this behavior? What are you typically doing when this happens? [02:44] haven't tried dvi-d cable just a dvi-i cable but do have nvidia-current [02:45] slidinghorn, usually it happens after i turn the screen off thru a shortcut, but other times it just randomly happens if i maximize a program then unmaximize it [02:45] slidinghorn, it doesnt happen all the time, just randomly [02:45] but as result i have to either kill X or restart the entire system [02:46] slidinghorn, im not even sure why dm/wm it switches to [02:47] slidinghorn, i just know that everything is oversized and awful looking [02:47] glitchd: I saw you posted in #xubuntu also, are you using the default xubuntu setup? Have you installed any other WMs or DMs? Also, what is your graphics card info? === Guest72206 is now known as rustbucket [02:47] slidinghorn, can we do this in a pm by chance? [02:47] RedPenguin you need to connect to the TVs HDMI in order to have possibly a sound negotiation [02:48] RedPenguin but it seems your card would have to have some hw support for audio on it. not sure in your case [02:48] glitchd: no, its better to do so in chat so others may be helped and can verify youre not gettimg bad info [02:48] slidinghorn, right ok then [02:49] slidinghorn, im running ubuntu 15.04 with xfce [02:49] slidinghorn, ill get the graphics card info, gimme a second [02:49] I just added a printer to my ubuntu machine but want to make printing to this machine available on my network.

[02:53] de-facto: thansk for the info it looks like anything from gt2xx is claiming end of life, guess I will have to go way newer, but I hate to get a gaming quality one being I just want MythTV on Ubuntu to output to a TV [02:54] RedPenguin http://bit.ly/1PkCYP8 [02:56] !find redis [02:56] Found: python-redis, python3-redis, erlang-redis-client, kamailio-redis-modules, libanyevent-redis-perl, libhiredis-dbg, libhiredis-dev, libhiredis0.13, libphp-predis, libredis-perl (and 25 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=redis&searchon=names&suite=wily§ion=all [02:57] !find add-apt-repository [02:57] Package/file add-apt-repository does not exist in wily [03:02] lol no matter what basic card you want from nvidia with HDMI it says even the gt620 is end of life [03:05] im having an olf gt240 works pretty well with hdmi audio. [03:06] I just hate to end up in the same boat with Ubuntu as my buddy di [03:07] He had an AMD Chipset that forced him on 12.04 and he could not upgrade [03:14] windows 7 notifies 'consider replacing battery' ? despite 56% it got poweroff on unplug of power supply , why ? is this problem with windows 7 or laptopn ? does this gets solved in ubuntu ? [03:15] nikitha: does this problem also exist in your ubuntu installation? Unfortunately, Windows issues arent supported here [03:16] is there a ubuntu phone that lets you run a full ubuntu on it yet? [03:17] nikitha: that being said, that does sound like a hardware/battery problem [03:17] nikitha it may use the battery charging controller or sensing the voltage of the battery [03:17] stochastix: you may have better luck woth the folks in #ubuntu-touch [03:17] ok thanks. [03:18] if the voltage is not enough without mains it may just shut down to prevent low discharge and damage to battery [03:19] but thats just a guess [03:20] Any operators in here? [03:21] 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 [03:22] 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 [03:23] hi [03:23] anyone please reccommed me good video converter for ubuntu [03:23] nikitha: as far as im aware, there isnt a function in Ubuntu tbat would give you a similar error [03:26] rahuldev: software recommendations arent really on topic here butwhat are you trying to convert (from which format and to which format?) [03:27] slidinghorn, I want to convert 1080 size .mp4 to 720 size .mp4 [03:28] 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] slidinghorn, do you know any channel where I can ask for recommendations of software of ubuntu, linux. [03:30] nikitha keep in mind that the percentage is just a rough estimate, reality of battery power is a lot more complex [03:31] 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) === Senj is now known as Senji [03:32] 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. :/ [03:33] what is UEFI? [03:33] !UEFI | yoyot [03:33] 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] yoyot, not a lot of fun with Linux is what it is. ;) [03:34] right [03:35] :) [03:36] 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] Alledgeadly, 12.04.2 works with my box... but I think that's only if you have a special build from Dell. [03:41] sick what system you are using right now? [03:41] ArchLinux on my laptop. [03:41] i use hauyra [03:41] anyhoo... off to bed. :/ I'll be back in the AM. [03:42] bye bye [03:52] 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 [03:58] hello everyone [04:01] 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] is there a tutorial on how to install ubuntu on a windows 10 machine [04:02] i know the bios is different these days [04:02] even adobe seems to make it downloadable only with accounts next year i heard [04:02] i cant even find the command to enter the setup [04:02] 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 .... [04:04] :P [04:04] 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] thanks slidinghorn [04:05] what is the bios setup button? [04:05] depends on your computer [04:06] google it, read manual idk [04:06] 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] ok so F2, F10, DEL, F12 all at the same time [04:06] so, win10 sleeps on a hard power off? [04:06] like if i jerk the bat and cable? [04:06] if it boots really fast. yes [04:06] you should not do that [04:06] cause i could care less about this unusable bs [04:06] ...if you like your data uncorrupted [04:07] i dont have any data [04:07] dont pull battery or plug, thats a bad idea [04:07] Klumsy you have windows, aint no data?

[04:10] hello everyone [04:10] you explain how knoppix can see an ntfs disk perfectly and i plug it in win10 and it tries to format it [04:10] go ahead, shut it down, find your boot menu, boot a live session and evaluate linux on it [04:11] if you like, install it [04:14] Klumsy oh and if you use sdd then make sure its aligned [04:15] what the heck is ssd? [04:15] depends on your hw, but normally beginning partitions at 2MB may be aligned [04:15] solid state disk [04:15] flash memory [04:15] sais hard disk [04:15] 1T [04:16] major selling point [04:16] does it make sounds when transfering data?

[05:46] Guest97183: Theyre in the default repos. you should be able to install usingg the command i gave [05:46] loL Monona; [05:47] I copied your command and hit it on te terminal; let me do that again [05:47] I am very new to ubunto/lenux and need some help with converting a windows xp laptop over [05:48] they were asking for a license , I agreed ( no other option) slidinghorn [05:48] Bruce_, over what ?? [05:49] I have tried to download it to the laptop, but keep getting a message that say windows cant open it and that it is not avail in my language [05:49] Bruce_, Did you install ubuntu ? [05:49] or using on a virtual machine ? [05:50] there's where the trouble lies [05:50] I can't get the laptop to instal it [05:50] give some details , what you exactly did and what happened Bruce_ [05:50] I downloaded ubuntu [05:50] ok [05:51] slidinghorn, its downloaded, thanx a lot [05:51] when trying to instal or open the instalation file I get windows cant open it [05:51] then I get a message saying that ubuntu is not available in my langiage [05:51] Bruce_, Did you ever install windows on your laptop on your own ? [05:52] yes, I installed windows xp on it many times [05:52] Ubuntu is installed in a similar fashion [05:52] 1st , the file you downloaded is an .iso file [05:53] you need yo burn it on a CD, [05:53] I tried that as well [05:53] or on a flash drive [05:53] did you burn Ubuntu on a flash drive ? [05:53] that's when I get the msg saying it's not avail in my language [05:53] No, I tried to burn it to a dvd [05:54] slidinghorn, what do you say ? [05:54] I am not on the machine that I am having trouble with [05:54] I never heard of that prob before , Bruce_ [05:55] neither did a lady frien who does this sort of thing for a living [05:55] friend even [05:55] she said I should try this forum [05:55] Did you check the md5 code of the file you downloaded ? May be the file you downloadd in corrupted ( may be) [05:56] I have no idea what that is [05:56] I am very new to this whole sort of thing [05:58] I wonder if I could use this win10 laptop to burn ubuntu to a disc and then instal it on the xp machine that way? [05:59] I am not sure if the prob is with burning the image of Ubuntu [05:59] the laptop I want to but ubuntu on had windows vista which I took off and put xp on [06:00] Since microsoft no longer supports xp I wanted to remove xp and replace it with ubuntu [06:01] did you try Ubuntu .iso file on a virtual machine ? [06:01] and then if I find I ike ubuntu better, I want to replace win10 with it as well [06:02] No, the xp machine has no provision to run a virtual [06:02] Bruce_: please restaye your exact issue in as much detail as possible on one line [06:02] s/restaye/restate [06:03] What's the last line ? slidinghorn ? [06:04] I tried to download ubuntu to an acer laptop running windows xp. I got a msg saying that windows could not open the file. When I tried to copy the file to the optical frive to burn onto a dvd I got a msg saying that the program was not avail in my language [06:05] Bruce_: you need to burn it to a DVD as an .iso image. [06:05] Bruce_: yo're better off using a USB drive and using unetbootin or rufus to make a bootable USB from which you can run & install ubuntu [06:05] he didn't burn it correctly I guess [06:06] !liveusb | Bruce_ [06:06] Bruce_: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [06:06] slidinghorn_: why not burn to dvd? [06:08] if something goes wrong , you needn't to throw away the flash drive :P Bru [06:08] loL [06:08] Bruce_: to be perfectly honeat, i have zero recent experience burning iso images to CD/DVD in windows. I know the USB method tends to work [06:09] Bruce_: you can use a DVD, there's not problem. A USB stick is just usually a bit more stable. Follow these instructions and you should be fine: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/burn-a-cd-or-dvd-from-an-iso-file [06:09] Just so y'all know, I have no idea what iso is or means [06:09] it's just the file format. [06:09] * slidinghorn is drinking at the bar and on his phone, so he's trying to make things as easy as possible ;) [06:10] :D [06:10] hey slidinghorn, I installed those utilities, now what ?

I'd like to know if other people have this problem too. [07:27] To resume: a second user has all his downloads that fail contrary to the first user. [07:27] Long explanation: [07:27] If I launch ubutun, I login as "user-A" I download something with firefox. It's ok [07:27] 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] Could you check if you have this trouble too please? [07:27] xangua, how i can know about this [07:27] Okay, ubuntu download complete.

[09:25] nugzar: It might be GPU drivers. Not necessarily the OS? [09:27] hey guys, i recently came across a cool pastebin service like termbin.com called ( | nc cwillu.com 10101 ) which instead gives you a link that has a page with all pastes by the ip, so everything you paste is in one place, so it got me thinking it would be pretty cool if a user could type something in his terminal and have it automatically show up in the link, anyways i made a working example of it using script -f /tmp/bla , and typing in another termin [09:27] al tail -f /tmp/bla | nc cwillu.com 10101 , and it worked giving a live terminal stream, so i made my own pastebin with a bunch of stuff that might help, what do you think about using this to help users where a bunch of logs are needed and it's complicated and a live terminal would be helpful? this is a sample link, it shows logs and my terminal right now http://openterm.tk/rijr , the pastebin has a menu which looks like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/14160681/ i [09:27] chose the 1st option login loop [09:27] I haven't got video card, only core i7 4790 [09:28] Hmmm [09:28] cmdswitch: Ah that does not run Docky?

Is there a convenient package with working sample code by chance?

[09:32] nugzar: Check if there are any drivers available in Linux for that GPU. [09:33] cmdswitch: cmdswitch that is not using the google api :( [09:33] aftermath: didn't say you had to use it [09:33] but if I don't I get that stupid message [09:34] aftermath: try implementing the python script, and see if your results are duplicated.

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 [11:18] SebastianTCL, Change to GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 and GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=false update-grub and retry [11:18] are there known issues with dual-booting windows 10 with ubuntu?

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] 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] AndChat607476: if you remove the hdd, it could boot, but how would you check the hdd's health? [11:24] Bluewolf: what ubuntu version are you running? [11:24] I'll use a external hdd USB bay [11:27] cmdshftn_, didnt work, got a 3 2 1 0 count down, no grub, even if i pressed shift [11:28] SebastianTCL: and you remove the # in front of GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 [11:28] maybe i typed it wrong? http://paste.ubuntu.com/14161968/ [11:28] Is there any news about the display manager changing to wayland??

Only 1x request and perm sudo? [11:33] Skyrider: else work within the user accounts you create [11:33] AndChat607476: have you used the external bay with it before? [11:33] Skyrider: 1 time = Do X command then I'm turning it back off [11:34] Skyrider: else switch to digitalocean and be done [11:34] Skyrider, pkexec might work [11:35] Bluewolf: sudo apt-get install dh-autoreconf gtk-sharp2-gapi libdbus-glib2.0-cil-dev libdbus2.0-cil-dev libgconf2-dev libgconf2.0-cil-dev libgio2.0-cil-dev libglib2.0-dev libgnome-keyring1.0-cil-dev libgnomedesktop2.0-cil-dev libgtk2.0-cil-dev libgtk2.0-dev libmono-addins-cil-dev libmono-addins-gui-cil-dev libnotify-cil-dev librsvg2-2.0-cil-dev libwnck1.0-cil-dev mono-devel -y [11:35] Bluewolf: and tell me what that comes back with [11:36] i have two machine and i would like to ssh each othe with out password and i have already Generate a ssh key for the each user of each machine using ssh-keygen -t rsa -P "" and give ownership of authersed keys and paste to other machine and when i am try to login by ssh username it ask me password any idea? [11:36] 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 [11:37] Skyrider: that's why I moved most of my gear to digitalocean [11:38] mano: did you enable authfiles in /etc/ssh/sshd_config ?

[15:07] deskwizard: that doesn't mean I/O is the blocker [15:08] I have alread installed windows 8.1 [15:08] abi_, ok [15:08] 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] ikonia, uhm, okay, what else could it be ? [15:08] deskwizard: you need to disagnose it [15:08] deskwizard: rather than just assuming things as fact [15:08] such as "I know it's I/O" [15:08] when I/O maybe fine, or caused by blocking resources [15:08] ok [15:09] 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] cmdswitch_, i have right now 4 drive c,d,e and h [15:09] abi_, how much is on D:? [15:09] ikonia, so basically, you don't know and it makes me wrong... alright... [15:09] i want to install it in h: [15:09] which is 40 g [15:09] your hard drives names are dev/sda like this. if you know free space size then you can install os [15:09] well I guess I was wrong in the first place since I dont know either hehehe [15:10] how can i configure ubuntu server 15.10 to allow sound through firefox ssh tunnel? [15:10] LifeLibertyHappi, best ask #ubuntu-server [15:10] abi_, ok, so have you downloaded the Ubuntu ISO and put it on bootable media?

[15:12] abi_, or did windows come up? [15:12] it says install and try [15:12] abi_, did you click install? [15:12] yes [15:12] abi_, ok, then what happened? [15:13] it goes to languages [15:13] abi_, ok, then after that what happened? [15:13] and i proceed futher then it goes to install software [15:13] abi_, ok [15:13] it checks intrnet connection and other [15:13] abi_, ok [15:13] after that it goes intall ubuntu and i click to somthing else [15:13] cmdswitch: how do I "make a "gpt table?"

[15:15] no it won't show 40 gb paration [15:15] abi_: so grub should have replaced the windows boot loader and made it secondary [15:15] abi_, open a terminal and run df -h comand [15:16] than what to do [15:16] abi_ are you able to boot to ubuntu? [15:16] abi_, or just windows? [15:16] no right now i am in same laptop [15:17] so i am not trying it === med_ is now known as Guest7726 [15:17] just want some help so [15:17] abi_, ok, but when you do try, is it giving you an option to boot into ubuntu ? [15:18] cmdswitch: ? does it matter if I am not running ubuntu server? [15:18] curlyears, same prompts [15:18] cmdswitch_, let me try and i will be back [15:18] abi_, ok [15:18] thankx cmdswitch_, [15:19] abi_, np === sireebob is now known as christmascookie === cmdswitch is now known as cmdswitch[zZz] [15:26] i can't mount an external NTFS disk in 15.10 [15:26] it said in the forums that i have to recompile ntfs-3g?

They're not allowed. And if I clear the disk, do those commands, and reinstall, the install will wipe out all that work [15:40] abi try sda 4 this is your free partiion [15:40] wait let me try [15:42] dang, he's not here [15:42] nasty words [15:42] linuxph_, i have 4 partion in widow [15:42] !

[15:43] i said to you use sda4 ..did you try [15:43] this is ridiculous. Why shouldn't I be able to successfully install to an HDD larger than 2TB? [15:43] When ever I type yum install into the ternimal it won't install the program I want [15:43] !yum | jab [15:43] jab: Uh, don't you mean !apt ? [15:43] jab, check your channel. this is UBUNTU not fedora/redhat [15:43] cfhowlett-, i tried that nothing happen [15:44] abi_: no. /dev/sda is the 40GB partition YOU created. It has no data on it [15:44] What is the diff from fedora and ubuntu? [15:44] abi is any file any inthat drive means replace it in another drive..why you hesitate to do tha? [15:44] jab, read it on wikipedia. [15:44] 430922 is not 40 gb it is 403 gb [15:45] i have created 40 gb partation and there is no data [15:45] abi_: fine [15:45] how can i show you people [15:45] if anyone was following along, Upstart user jobs were not being run because my session was not in /etc/upstart-xsessions. Adding it caused jobs to be run as expected. [15:45] is there any way to show screenshoot [15:45] abi_: imgur.com [15:45] or make you remote connection so you people can see [15:46] yes abi go top of this chat. choose conversation click it and choose add to send file [15:47] NO [15:47] abi_: use http://www.imgur.com to share a screenshot.

[15:49] http://imgur.com/5Ya0btP [15:49] check this [15:49] this is perhaps off topic for the channel, but does anyone know the executable name of the sound applet? [15:50] please check the link [15:50] (I want to add an upstart job to add that icon to my tray) [15:50] *sigh* [15:50] nnow I can't even install! [15:50] cfhowlett_ please che http://imgur.com/5Ya0btP [15:51] 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 [15:52] so what is the solution [15:52] can you detailgive me n [15:52] i am new [15:52] abi_, system > gparted [15:53] 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] ok let me try [15:54] cfhowlett_, check the gpart screenshot http://imgur.com/5Ya0btP [15:54] that ain't gparted [15:55] that's the same link, abi_ [15:55] at [15:55] what [15:55] showing off my desktop: ubuntu 15.10's Radiance theme + a skiing wallpaper: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=1zydd2x&s=9#.VnrDwnV97CI [15:55] abi_: you posted the same link twice [15:55] prsteele: when you are done assisting abi_. would you care to take a shot at my issue? [15:55] yao_ziyuan: doesn't belong here. [15:55] yao_ziyuan, wrong channel for that. take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [15:55] i have a suggestion for the unity sidebar. [15:55] ok sorry http://imgur.com/n8lGZOg [15:55] curlyfrustrated: I logged in in the middle, can you re-state your problem? feel free to pm if its long [15:55] this is the link [15:55] abi ..............may be your partition are not allowed.because four partition only allowed .i am also face this prblm === SpartanB is now known as Platypus-Man [15:56] i have four partation c d e and h [15:56] in my windows [15:56] when the icons on the unity sidebar become too many, there can be a downward arrow at the bottom, and when you hover your mouse on that arrow, the sidebar automatically scrolls upward so that additional icons are scrolled into view. [15:56] abi_, this ain't windows. stop talking about it [15:57] just confuses the issue [15:57] I can't ssh from my laptop (can ssh to the PC from my tablet though, so I know things are working server-side) http://pastebin.com/7A0mvcw6 [15:57] how does Mac OS X's bottom bar handle too many icons? [15:57] So what is the solution [15:57] yao_ziyuan: this isn't the place. take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [15:57] yao_ziyuan, are your TRYING to troll? this is UBUNTU. not mac [15:57] is h drive has 40 gb [15:57] yes [15:57] prsteele: : I have install LTS 14.04.2 about 6 times, now, adn each time it has failed to boot, with a different error reported each time. I have used the same hardware and the same install optioons each time. [15:57] hi friends [15:57] can you please help me to install oracle on to my linux system [15:57] ubuntu 12.04 [15:57] nicomachus: even for a suggestion for the unity sidebar? [15:57] yes linuxhp_ [15:58] nicomachus: *not even for [15:58] SO what is the solution so for [15:58] yao_ziyuan: yes. this is ubuntu support only. and no one here works for canonical anyway, so can't do anything with your suggestions. go to #ubuntu-offtopic. [15:58] SO what is the solution for me [15:59] let me rephrase my idea into a question instead of a suggestion: [15:59] yao_ziyuan: no. not here. [15:59] yao_ziyuan: don't rephrase your question. It is OFF TOPIC === [UPA]Stefan is now known as Tronsha [16:00] i.e: we don't want to see it, OK [16:00] ? [16:00] cfhowlett_, are you there [16:00] !patience | abi_ [16:00] abi_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [16:00] curlyfrustrated: are you and "curlyears" the same one ? [16:00] curlyfrustrated: I probably won't be much help with a problem like that, sorry [16:00] waressearcher2: yes. )-: [16:01] abi_: open a terminal and type " sudo fdisk -l ", paste the result into a pastebin, and link it here. [16:01] question: here is a screenshot of my current desktop: http://pastebin.com/7A0mvcw6 . you can see there are too many icons on the unity sidebar, and additional icons tend to be shown as "flattened". is there an option to show a downward arrow instead of these flattened icons, and when i move my mouse on the downward arrow, additional icons automatically come into view? [16:01] does anyone know how to mount an NTFS disk in 15.10? [16:01] klumsy: "mount -t ntfs" ? [16:01] yao_ziyuan: no there is not. [16:02] thanks, anyway prsteele [16:02] no, nothing... 13.10 can mount it fine but something has changed in this release [16:02] abi_, according to the readout, you do NOT have a 40 gb partition for ubuntu. Can't tell you whay. I suggest you use gparted to make a new partition on /dev/sda4 and try your install again. after you have backed up critical data [16:02] yao_ziyuan: if you hover over thw flattened icons, do they not expand? [16:03] hello === Da is now known as Guest11642 [16:04] Is unity the only DE supported by the devs of ubuntu [16:04] jab: no [16:04] curlyfrustrated: they do. my point is that this default "flattened icons" appearance may not be aestheically ideal. [16:04] !ot | yao_ziyuan [16:04] yao_ziyuan: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [16:04] jab: not sure what you mean by 'the devs'. Maybe from Canonical, but the kubuntu, xubuntu, and lubuntu projects all support different DEs [16:05] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14166515/ [16:05] i assume that my external disk is /dev/sdb [16:05] right? [16:05] nicomachus: ok, but where do i send my UI suggestions on ubuntu? [16:05] klumsy: paste 'lspci'? [16:06] yao_ziyuan: https://community.ubuntu.com/ [16:06] nicomachus: mkay. the current appearance isn't that bad, though. [16:07] Hi there, I would need some help for configuring the touchpad (ALPS I think) on an Asus laptop R516U. [16:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14166668/ [16:08] rockyroad: is it working now or no? [16:09] klumsy: I'm sorry, lsusb, not lspci. my fault. [16:09] Hi nicomachus:. Yes, but the setup dialog says the Synaptics driver is not found [16:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14166710/ [16:09] nicomachus: "lsusb, not lspci", you are so clumsy today [16:10] I have just installed ubuntu on my parents computer and I have what you could probably describe as screen tearing...(its not with video though, its just general screen artifacts, such as the text in the web browser url bar being scrambled) [16:10] klumsy: I don't see an external USB there. [16:10] rockyroad: try some of the things on this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [16:10] bus 1 device 7 [16:11] works like a charm in 13.10 [16:11] abi_, progress?? [16:11] anyone know the name of the indicator-* executables in unity? e.g. indicator-sound or indicator-bluetooth? [16:11] The graphics card is an Intel 82G33/G31 [16:11] it was suggested that I install the Intel graphics card drivers from 01.org [16:12] Hi friends [16:12] can you please help me to install oracle on to my linux/ ubuntu system [16:12] I tried them, and its a little improved, but the problem is still there.

[16:14] hey friends...just want some help on heating problem of my laptop in ubuntu14.04.03 [16:15] klumsy: the external is NTFS format, right?

[16:15] windows has no problem with the disk [16:15] no this is 15.10 [16:15] nicomachus: Zhat link will leave you with a totaly unsupported Oracle installation. [16:15] knoppix has no problem with the disk [16:16] both 14.10 (Lubuntu) and windows10 could not recognise this disk [16:16] klumsy: So plug out the disk, wait 10s, plug it back in, wait 10s, and paste dmesg.

[16:45] Yeah it uses a text editor but i want a terminal [16:45] it is ubuntu 15.04 [16:45] gracie2347: cat something.sh will dump it for you to see [16:45] gracie2347: So use a terminal. There are various text editors in terminal too. [16:45] gracie2347: less something.sh [16:45] gracie2347: vim something.sh [16:45] gracie2347: nano something.sh [16:46] one of those will satisfy your needs [16:46] Well i am installing something [16:46] kekks_, it is 15.04 [16:46] prsteele: please stop using "enter" as punctuation [16:46] slidinghorn: noted [16:46] abi_: I would not recommend installing 15.04 at this point. It's EOL in a week. install 14.04 or 15.10 [16:47] ok tried 14.04 also [16:47] It says there is no file or directory [16:47] i have both iso [16:47] slidinghorn:: I did [16:47] but what is the UUID of my NTFS disk? [16:47] it doesnt show my freespace or 40 gb partation [16:47] the last one seems to be making progress [16:47] I can't do it [16:48] klumsy: sudo lsblkid [16:48] abi_, did you do that in windows ? [16:48] klumsy: And sisk do not have UUIDs, filesystems do. [16:48] no [16:49] abi_, with the installer gparted ? [16:49] sorry [16:49] i am new in ubuntu [16:49] So i don;t know [16:49] command not found [16:49] slidinghorn, nicomachus :: After apt-get update now, I'm getting: http://hastebin.com/uhotonutib.rb [16:49] what are they [16:49] abi_, how did you do the dedicated partition ? [16:49] in windows [16:49] klumsy: My bad, use sudo blkid [16:50] i shrink the volume of c drive [16:50] and made h drive [16:50] of 40 gb for ubuntu [16:50] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14168011/ [16:50] abi_, ok.... not showing up while installing ? [16:50] abi_: that doesn't apply to Ubuntu. [16:50] so [16:50] what is the option [16:51] i checked many video in youtube [16:51] and every one suggested same [16:51] klumsy: So pastebin the entire "dmesg" output please. [16:51] bekks: it's here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14166953/ [16:52] As can be clearly seen, that disk is dead. [16:52] yea, see line 769... [16:52] abi_, ok.... not showing up while installing ? [16:53] nicomachus: Yeah. [16:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14168121/ [16:53] no [16:53] it shows [16:53] klumsy: Replace the disk. It is dead. [16:53] abi_, if you have 4 primairy partitions already, ubuntu does not see free space. delete that 40 gb and try again. [16:53] there's no way [16:53] it works perfectly in 2 other systems [16:53] I tried that also [16:53] klumsy: It obviously is dead. [16:53] doesnt work [16:53] abi_, can you paste sudo parted -l ? [16:53] klumsy: Look at your own dmesg paste. [16:53] klumsy: last shot: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g [16:53] wait [16:54] im telling you that that message is clearly wrong [16:54] nicomachus, slidinghorn:: It works now. Thanks [16:54] all the files are intact and work fine in knoppix and windows [16:54] klumsy: Then believe in it. I believe in system messages only. That disk is dead. [16:54] bekks: if he didn't have the right drivers installed to read NTFS it would show that. [16:55] thats what they are saying on the forums, that ntfs-3g has a problem [16:55] ioria : please check this http://imgur.com/Oz9vb2H [16:55] why would it work if i use the 13.10 live disk? [16:55] nicomachus: No. [16:55] klumsy: did you install ntfs-3g? [16:55] nicomachus: IO errors on blocks are not related to "the corect driver". [16:55] isn't that installed defualt in 15.10 ? [16:55] nicomachus: That disk is physically damaged. [16:56] the disk is not damaged [16:56] the disk is healthy [16:56] It is. Look at your paste. [16:56] ioria : please check this http://imgur.com/Oz9vb2H [16:56] that has to be wrong [16:56] klumsy: Or prove it with running badblocks on the entire disl. [16:56] *disk [16:56] abi_, and you have windows 8 on that disk ? [16:56] klumsy: does it work on Windows as of right now? [16:56] klumsy: Unless you do, that disk can safely considered to be damaged. [16:56] yes [16:56] and knopppix [16:56] hello. Im connected with someones system. And he has upgrade problems. [16:57] and 13.10 [16:57] apt-get dist-upgrade removes a lot [16:57] yes ioria [16:57] Nik05: what are the problems? all on one line, please. [16:57] he is running trusty. anyone an idea how to fix this? [16:57] abi_, sorry for asking, where is the 40 g partition ? [16:58] nicomachus running apt-get dist-upgrade wants to remove a lot of packages [16:58] Nik05: why is that a problem? [16:58] atexactly ioria i am asking that [16:58] because it remove ubuntu-desktop etc [16:58] I can see that in windows [16:58] Nik05: is it installing new versions? Paste the output to a pastebin and link it here. [16:58] abi_, so, i imagine you don't have a uefi capable motherboard.... correct ? [16:59] nicomachus no its upgrading nothing. Oke let me make a paste [16:59] yes my mother board is compatible with uefi [16:59] oh wait nicomachus i think this is a frankenubuntu... Old versions mixed or somethign [16:59] this is dell laptop i5 it was deliveer with ubuntu as defauly os [17:00] but the retailler installed windows and gave to me [17:00] it still has ubuntu sticker in it [17:00] abi_, and he installed win8 in legacy mode ? [17:00] yes [17:00] Nik05: If there are mixed versions, your friend is likely better off reinstalling altogether. Mixing version sources is a recipe for disaster [17:00] ^ [17:00] abi_, why ? he told you ? [17:01] what he told me [17:01] ? [17:01] slidinghorn the sources.list is not mixed but he upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04 [17:01] abi_, why he installed win8 in legacy mode and not in efi mode .... [17:01] Nik05: let's see the paste. [17:01] Nik05: and a paste of the full output of apt-get update as well [17:02] i don't know it may because in nepal there are small portion of linux user may be 1 of 5000 [17:02] oke let me make [17:03] abi_, with efi and gpt you don't have anymore number partition problem.... you can have as many as you like .... [17:03] SO what is the solutiion ioria [17:03] ioria: s/efi and// [17:04] in efi there was ubuntu [17:04] but i reset the bios in factory mode [17:04] Here is the paste http://paste.debian.net/hidden/ffc80b5e/ [17:04] apt-get -s dist-upgrade [17:05] abi_, i'm tempted to tell you to re-enable uefi -> reinstall win and -> install ubuntu ... [17:06] nicomachus i will also make an apt-get update paste [17:06] 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] abi_, but maybe to much trouble [17:06] *o [17:06] So we cannot install in lagecy mode [17:06] Nik05: yea.. .please. this looks really odd. [17:06] abi_, sure you could [17:06] hi [17:06] So [17:07] window is in lagecy mode [17:07] now i have to add ubuntu [17:07] abi_, what's on the partition 3 and 4 ? [17:07] ok [17:07] 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] 1st partation there is windows [17:07] second is some what empty [17:08] ok, then ? [17:08] third is with my data [17:08] and 4th is empty 40 gb part [17:08] abi_, bott win and delete the second [17:08] *boot [17:08] nicomachus http://paste.debian.net/hidden/4e8b9a84/ [17:08] than [17:08] oh could it be the steam... [17:09] abi_, no, sorry it's labeled 'boot' [17:09] hi guys, question, what bouncers are you using for irc? [17:09] i understand [17:09] abi_, don't delete it [17:09] 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] Nik05: ^ [17:09] ok [17:09] 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] do you use skype [17:09] AndChat607476: ask in ##hardware [17:10] n0Str3s5: that's not a topic for here...try #ubuntu-offtopic -- this is for Ubuntu support only :) [17:10] abi_, the first is not win, btw [17:10] nicomachus i also have no idea what is happening [17:10] abi_, the second likely is Win [17:10] nicomachus: and I tried booting through USB but no use [17:10] yes [17:10] 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] first is the partation reserved by win [17:11] yeep... 3 and 4 ? [17:11] second is also just a boot file [17:11] 3rd consist of windows file [17:11] abi_, no, it's win, i think [17:11] yes it is [17:11] 68 gb was for my c drive [17:12] abi_, win usually is on C [17:12] and 4th is 403 gb [17:12] but i don't have any partation with 403 gb [17:12] abi_, the 4 is empty ? [17:12] 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] are u sure [17:12] nicomachus oke already done that [17:12] abi_, it's a question [17:13] no [17:13] it is not a free [17:13] ls [17:13] ok wait [17:13] ho wrong window :) [17:13] abi_, what's on the 4th ? [17:14] abi_, please abi_, keep it in the public channel [17:14] it is 403 gb [17:15] so it is not showing rest of partation [17:15] abi_, ok.... but you know what's on the 4th ? [17:15] no i don't know [17:15] what is i4th [17:15] abi_, boot win and find out [17:16] abi you first format the partition to fat 32 [17:16] ioria don't have 403 gb partation [17:16] have max 195 gb partation [17:16] Howdy is xenial stable enough to start playing with or is major plumbing still being moved around? [17:16] abi_, parted says the contrary .... [17:16] 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... [17:17] sandah: Xenial won't be considered "Stable" until it's released in April, essentially [17:17] anything before that is alpha/beta stage [17:17] ok ioria in win i have c: 69 gb di: 178 gb, e: 210 gb and h: 40 gb [17:17] Hi [17:17] thank you zykotick9, already tried that [17:17] slidinghorn: Thanks, but if I install now can 'upgrade' to the final version once it is finished? [17:18] I am trying to install skype but I get this message. The "skype" package could not be marked for installation or upgrade: [17:18] Depends: skype, but it is a virtual package. I am using kubuntu LTS latest [17:18] ok ioria in win i have c: 69 gb di: 178 gb, e: 210 gb and h: 40 gb [17:18] but here it is only showing 69 gb and rest all partation in 1 403 gb [17:18] any clues? [17:18] that is the problem what i am facing [17:18] 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. [17:19] Voyage: Are you installing Skype from the partner repository? [17:20] abi_, not sure , maybe something about the Sector size [17:20] xangua, origin: says, partner archive [17:21] Voyage: so, sudo apt-get install skype ? [17:21] while reading my pendrive i/o error [17:21] did you try to run apt-get update before? [17:21] So ioria the exact problem is that i have 4 partation but it isi showing only two 69 gb and rest 403 gb [17:22] abi_, sorry, 2 is not win ... , 3 is win [17:22] nicomachus and zykotick9 im getting problems with libatomic etc from gcc [17:22] I will try to find out what exactly [17:22] yes 3 is win [17:23] and 2 is win boot [17:23] xangua, let me paste logs [17:23] abi_, yep... so what on the 4 .... your data ? [17:24] 4 is remaining remaining gb from 500 gb hard drive as it is not showing remaining partation [17:24] nicomachus he has libatomic version 4.9.2-0ubuntu1~12.04 installed but trusty only has 4.8.4.... [17:25] abi_, can you boot ubuntu in 'Try' and post a pic of gparted ? [17:25] ioria do you know any thing like team viewer online so i can show you [17:25] abi_, ^^ [17:25] yes [17:26] ioria check this you will see 4 drive http://imgur.com/qT330KL [17:27] 210 gb ,178 gb , new volume and 69 gb [17:28] abi_: Pastebin "sudo fdisk -l" and provide the URL to your pastebin please. [17:28] xangua, http://pastie.org/10649481#1,3,24,133,227,238-239 [17:28] hi [17:29] nicomachus i solved it.. he had a few gcc packages left from 12.04. libatomic1 etc.... [17:29] bekks please check this http://imgur.com/4NxFfaX [17:30] bekks please check this http://imgur.com/4NxFfaX [17:30] I down graded those 5 packages and everything was fine... [17:30] bekks, please check this http://imgur.com/4NxFfaX [17:30] 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 [17:31] Voyage: [17:31] xangua, hm do I need thirdparty repo? [17:31] thank you everyone, bye [17:32] xangua, and why do I need to change to main repo? [17:33] Ive just installed iptables-persistent with "sudo apt-get install". But when I try "sudo service iptables-persistent start" I get No such file.... [17:33] ioria are you there [17:33] any Ideas what Im doing wrong? [17:34] abi_, yep... thinking about the possibility of installing ubuntu15-10 64-bit on a mdos PT.... [17:34] So i cannot see any other drive than 68gb and 403 gb [17:35] I cannot install skype; can anyone have a look? http://pastie.org/10649481#1,3,24,133,227,238-239 [17:36] i think that there is no way for me to install ubuntu [17:37] bekks, please check this http://imgur.com/4NxFfaX [17:37] abi_, you can to download 32-bit iso of lubuntu , and try again ... [17:37] * Voyage waits [17:38] abi_, your win installed is 32 or 64 bit ? [17:38] is there any system like wubi [17:38] abi_, no, forget it [17:38] abi_, your win is 32 or 64 bit ? [17:38] my win is 64 [17:39] hello ponies [17:39] my win is 64 [17:39] abi_, try do download the 64-bit iso of lubuntu , and try it [17:40] ok [17:41] so no chance for ubuntu [17:42] thank you ioria for your time [17:42] I am leaving now [17:43] abi_ no problem.... but it would be better backup data, enabling efi [17:43] Sorry, I'm back now. [17:43] abi_ and start again [17:43] qqqqqs [17:43] Hey, I'm having trouble with plasmashell, specifically the Taskbar. === s is now known as Guest42943 [17:43] The Taskbar gets stuck in a certain state and doesn't show the latest status of the desktop (what apps are open. It's just frozen. Trying to reform search through the launcher or alt-f2 will freeze at some point [17:43] There's just something GUI issue going on. That along with the message "*ERROR* mismatch in ips_enabled" === Guest42943 is now known as qqqqqs [17:44] Bomber4Chats: plasma from kubuntu? [17:44] Yes [17:45] Bomber4Chats: maybe the #kubuntu guys can assist better? [17:45] 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] back [17:45] Sagar: what does htop show as high ontop? [17:46] The program 'htop' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [17:46] Sagar: sudo apt-get install htop [17:47] I have install LTS 14.04.2 about 6 times, now, adn each time it has failed to boot, with a different error reported each time. I have used the same hardware and the same install optioons each time. [17:47] curlyfrustrated: why not update? [17:47] Here is a screenshot, keeps changing > http://prntscr.com/9hq81p [17:47] df [17:48] Sagar: what makes you think it's using too much RAM? 2GB is pretty low. [17:49] Sagar: looks like php5-fpm is ontop with high cpu/mem 2 times [17:49] optimization is wrong i think [17:49] People seems to use 1.5GB server to run mongodb, mysql along with apache2 and php5-fpm [17:49] Sagar: it would also help if you clicked the "MEM%" tab and showed that intead of CPU. [17:49] and they still save 500MB [17:50] nicomachus: i am on putty how can i click that? [17:50] http://prntscr.com/9hq9lt [17:50] clicked [17:52] BCNU [17:53] testing [17:54] !test | viruaposta [17:54] viruaposta: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3...

[17:55] Sagar: all looks normal. === mandje is now known as kerstmandje [17:57] I seriously dont know what we were talking before my login.. I miss that part about how to view history.. anyways, continuing since I logged-in :) [18:01] apt-get just suggested i use autoremove which I did and then it promptly uninstalled a load of software I use on a daily basis [18:01] why would it do that?! [18:01] scott3: added ppa's of any kind? [18:02] um, possible but not sure [18:03] scott3: check your sources [18:03] scott3: always review what does it suggest, before clicking y [18:03] Hi all. Is there anywhere I can download the latest libc.so for 14.04? [18:04] !latest | mssbrg [18:04] 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] fair enough but i thought it would only remove things that weren't needed [18:04] mssbrg: whats wrong with your libc.so version right now? [18:04] it removed mysql, php, java [18:05] scott3: if you mix ppa's with official packages, you get wird situations like this [18:05] nicomachus: there are alot of apache2 and mysql proccess [18:05] using 136MB and 126MB RAM EACH [18:05] scott3: if you remove one package from a metapackage, apt-get will offer to remove everything included in that metapackage. === ricky_ is now known as Guest42495 [18:06] 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) [18:07] what says that? http://prntscr.com/9hqhwm [18:09] Sagar: Your htop scrot only showed 737 in use [18:10] dont getting it what could be wrong :( [18:15] Sagar: what does "utilizes too much ram" mean? [18:15] "there are alot of apache2 and mysql proccess, using 136MB and 126MB RAM EACH" what do you mean by each ? [18:16] 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] (are those processes or subprocesses) [18:18] Hey, what client do you guys use for SSH/SFTP/SCP on android?

[18:48] Klumsy: I'm confused. If they only stole your backup, can't you just access the originals how you normally do? [18:48] these are not downloaded mp3's, these are a lifetimes worth of studio recordings [18:48] i dont throw away disks [18:48] i had an external disk that i copied this to [18:48] it was stolen [18:49] Klumsy: so grab them from the original disk? [18:49] now, someone is threatening to release all my music but they dont have the original source files [18:49] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14173581/ [18:50] i have ubuntu livedisk 13.10 running [18:50] 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? [18:51] from the half-T disk that i bought as a backup [18:51] !eol | Klumsy 13.10 is end of life [18:51] Klumsy 13.10 is end of life: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [18:51] Klumsy: if you are accessing the data on your backup drive on a daily basis, then it's NOT a backup [18:52] it wasnt accessed daily, i would use it as i needed [18:52] Klumsy: so then what exactly is this 120GB disk [18:52] and i kept this original backup disk [18:52] Klumsy: yea that's not a backup. In any case, what is the 120GB disk [18:52] * lotuspsychje facepalm [18:52] its a WD Caviar IDE [18:53] Klumsy: sorry not what I meant. You said this disk is an original. An original of what? [18:53] Klumsy, how are you accessing it ? usb external case ? ide adapter ? [18:53] this disk is 120 gigs of amiga AIFF, and windows WAV audio [18:53] and the source scripts and sequences [18:54] and recordings [18:54] music [18:54] Klumsy: so it's not an OS disk then. It was a secondary disk in some machine? [18:54] yeah [18:55] Klumsy: what computer are you on now? [18:55] a brand new lenovo laptop [18:55] with a 1T disk [18:55] Klumsy: what OS [18:55] well i am in 13.10 live [18:55] but installed is 15.10 === Piper-Off is now known as Monthrect [18:55] Klumsy: ok, how are you connecting the drive to this laptop? [18:56] USB [18:56] Klumsy: ok. Why are you accessing via a 13.10 live disk and not the 15.10 installation? [18:56] because before i was able to browse and actually play the audio files from knoppix [18:56] or... 13.10 [18:57] but when i installed 15.10 i started having problems [18:57] Klumsy, boot you 15.10, plug the disk and dmesg | tail [18:57] * slidinghorn is so confused right now... [18:57] ok i will be back in 15.10 [18:58] yea I'm probably out on this one. ntfs drives aren't my speciality [18:58] is there anything that would make Ubuntu Studio unsuitable for NAS? [18:58] 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] 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] [18:59] 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] Sonic2kk: plug the drive in then pastebin 'dmesg | tail' [18:59] Sonic2kk: so lsblk does not show the drive? [19:00] 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] i don't think so .... : [19:00] ioria, what was that command? [19:01] lutuspsychje: Id like to be able to edit video and store it locally. Which is why I was considering Studio as NAS [19:01] Klumsy, dmesg | tail [19:01] MWM: do you need to access that video from elsewhere? [19:01] MWM: No, it just shows the partitions on my internal drive [19:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14174285/ [19:02] Klumsy, your disk is plugged ? [19:02] yeah [19:02] Klumsy: did you plug it in after booting or before? [19:02] before [19:02] 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] 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] Klumsy: unplug it then replug it back in [19:03] Klumsy, unplug, replug , dmesg | tail [19:03] 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] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14174356/ [19:04] 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] Klumsy, usb2 or 3 ? [19:04] well i assume that this is the USB2 slot since it is the one that is not colored blue [19:05] 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] Klumsy, looks bad from here .... ever worked that case (with that disk inside) ? [19:05] Voyage: what exactly are you trying to install? Are you trying to compile something from its source? [19:05] isnt there a way i can force it to mount and just copy what i can? [19:06] honestly, the disk sounds good [19:06] Klumsy, sudo parted -l [19:06] and i could care less about a few bad sectors === john is now known as Guest63505 [19:07] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14174538/ [19:07] ignore? [19:08] yep [19:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14174616/ [19:09] Any other thoughts on Studio/Nas combo? [19:09] I just copied some files over from OS X to ubuntu using ”scp”, but some file names are wrong. [19:09] Here’s is one example: Ska<0308>rmavbild.png, i should be Skärmavbild.png [19:09] How would I fix this? [19:10] is it counterindicated by anything major? I might just try it otherwise [19:10] Klumsy, sorry to repeat myself, have you ever used that disk in that case ? [19:10] MWM: branching your pc to an eth cable can be a nas too right [19:11] i was browsing this disk in knoppix, even able to play the files [19:11] there's nothing wrong with the audio files on this disk [19:11] MWM: maybe the ##networking guys knwo the perfect dream NAS scenario for you? [19:11] Klumsy: how long ago was that? [19:11] yesturday [19:12] lotuspsychje: Im not sure exactly what you mean. Just connecting with ethernet? I beleive so. Right now I have aubuntu box set up with as much storage as I can muster and access it with my other windows machines via Samba...does that help? [19:12] is there a way to force mount this disk and copy what i can? [19:12] Klumsy, change the port [19:12] Klumsy, and if you have it, a double usb cable [19:12] for power?

Thanks for the help [19:13] Hi, how can I install the latest version of gparted? I have 0.19, but when I do apt-get upgrade it is still 0.19 [19:13] changing the port does nothig [19:14] !latest | simon Ubuntu is not a rolling release distro [19:14] simon Ubuntu is not a rolling release distro: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest.

[19:14] the disk makes noise like normal disks, but nothing in ubuntu [19:14] Klumsy, dmesg | tail [19:15] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14174896/ [19:15] nerium: try putting ./ infront of your file path and wrapping with "./" [19:16] b1ack1323: That’s not the problem. The file names are suddently wrong when copying them [19:17] xangua, I must have it because the stable version doesn't support nvme. I found v0.24 in launchpad, so it means it's possible, right?

[19:21] this was an audio disk, im sure that there is corrupted data, that is normal for a recording disk [19:22] is there a way to force the mount and then just copy what i can?

[19:28] yeah but it is only 120G [19:28] must be something wrong with the NTFS partition [19:28] Klumsy, may ask you why ? [19:29] i dont know why it sees it as 400 G [19:29] daftykins?

But that setting is never saved and i have to set i again every time I log on.

[19:31] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14175586/ [19:32] 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... [19:33] Klumsy, can you paste the output of ' mount ' ? [19:33] 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] ioria2: check out the above paste :> [19:33] daftykins, sorry, was disconnected [19:33] so should i slave it up in another box and try it with a regular IDE cable?

[20:17] so of all files, so if i end up havin to fresh install its not the end of the world [20:17] abi__: thought you said 15.04 :> [20:17] !usn | MediocreNut here's why [20:17] MediocreNut here's why: Please see http://www.ubuntu.com/usn for information about Ubuntu security updates. [20:17] no it was mistake [20:18] So draftykins how can we proceed === Lulu is now known as Guest57502 [20:18] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14179626/ === Petru is now known as Guest34163 === msjche_away is now known as msjche [20:19] So draftykins how can we proceed [20:22] are you there daftykins [20:22] 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] abi__: i have the heating on so i'm not drafty at all :D so which version is it for sure? [20:22] so i should connect it to a windows machine? [20:22] it ilubuntus 15.10 64 bit [20:23] Klumsy, if have one , why not [20:24] 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] abi__: and did you boot EFI mode? so the menu was white text on a black background with 'try' ... 'install' etc? [20:24] So is there any one who can give me solution [20:25] no i boot in didn't boot in efi mode [20:25] why not? [20:25] because when i go to efi mode on there are two partation selected [20:25] so i am not used to [20:25] with efi [20:26] boot EFI mode and then come back here, we can check what those partitions are. [20:27] daftykins i boot always in lagecy mode [20:27] 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] not in efi mode [20:27] abi__: which mode is win8.1 installed in? [20:27] lagecy mode win 8.1 [20:27] ilmaisin: try nomodeset [20:27] !nomodeset [20:28] 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] abi__: show me a screenshot of diskmgmt.msc inside Windows to confirm this [20:28] now again i have to go back in windows === Arduino- is now known as A1R [20:29] daftykins: thanks, i will check that out [20:29] sounds like a complaint to me from abi ^_^ [20:30] ilmaisin, can you open a console with ctrl + alt + f1 ( or f2) ? [20:30] how can i change from LTS to regular version? [20:31] nec0spe: not reccomended [20:31] ok [20:31] nec0spe: clean isntall instead [20:31] nec0spe: any reason you moving away from LTS? [20:32] if you want you can update from System Settings ->Software Updates -> Updates -> Notify mt for any new version [20:32] 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) [20:33] lotuspsychje, it was just curiosity [20:33] 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] yes, it's always raccomended a fresh install but you can try if you want [20:34] nec0spe: if everything working fine in your LTS, i reccomend you stay [20:34] nec0spe: if curious for other versions, try virtualbox? [20:34] lotuspsychje, thanks! [20:36] hi i am back [20:36] from windows mode [20:36] abi__: so "diskmgmt.msc" -> alt+print-screen -> imgur.com [20:36] wait [20:36] http://imgur.com/VUDShqQ [20:36] check it [20:37] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MA_v0YMPN9c [20:37] abi__: ok so you are likely going to have to resize or delete one of those to fit ubuntu on [20:38] yes [20:38] but d drive is empty [20:38] abi__: that's not hugely useful, given it's in the wrong place [20:38] do you have an external drive you can copy the contents of E: off onto? === samuel is now known as Guest25370 [20:39] no [20:39] As e drive is 195 gb and d drive is just166 [20:39] abi__: your disk is also set to dynamic which is not safe. [20:40] daftykins: well, that seems to result in bad resolution [20:40] SO what do you suggest me to do daftykins [20:40] ilmaisin: it will but it is a diagnostic procedure [20:40] daftykins: this is a really bad regression [20:40] 14.04 worked just fine [20:40] ilmaisin: no, it is called troubleshooting :) after trying it, i would identify the graphics hardware in the system. [20:41] oh i see. [20:41] it's the default integrated intel [20:42] 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] 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] ilmaisin: you have that on your kernel boot parameters right now? edit /etc/default/grub to check [20:43] So i have to transfer data from e to d now [20:43] abi__: why, were you told something else before? [20:43] daftykins: no, i just said i have no idea how to make it permanent [20:43] i used the e key from boot menu [20:43] yes i was told to shrink c drive [20:43] ilmaisin: but that's the text you have to remove each time? [20:44] so i shrink to 40 gb [20:44] daftykins: it seems to be so [20:44] abi__: ah, that was bad advice. [20:44] however i have tried one time only [20:44] ilmaisin: if you could pastebin /etc/default/grub that'd help [20:44] So now I have to empty e drive first right [20:44] daftykins: yes, just a minute [20:45] this kind of bugs however make me really consider switching back to windows [20:45] unfortunately, windows's quality has also declined badly [20:46] i tried to switch to windows but my lap would just keep freezing after waking in suspend mode... so back to linux [20:46] abi__: yep [20:46] ok dafitykins give me some time to transfer data [20:46] ilmaisin: this is not the place for OS war discussions, as it happens. [20:46] abi__: sure, i need to go do that food thing too :> [20:47] ok when will you be back daftykins [20:48] ok when will you be back daftykins [20:48] abi__: is there a reason you repeat so much? i don't know, probably in an hour tops [20:48] ok [20:49] abi__: after copying the data, right click where it says "Disk 0 / Dynamic" and change it to 'Basic' too. [20:50] ok [20:51] daftykins: i tried uncommenting that grub_gfxmode thing, but it did not help === on247 is now known as Guest32522 [20:52] ilmaisin: so is this file as it was before, or is it now? [20:52] daftykins: it is what it is now [20:53] daftykins: only difference is uncommenting the line 26 which did not help [20:54] 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] ilmaisin: i take it you ran "sudo update-grub" to make your edit count? [20:54] daftykins: yes, i did [20:54] good stuff, just checking [20:54] the resolution of grub menu went down, but nothing else happened [20:55] ilmaisin: what are you trying to do? [20:55] EriC^^: trying to get my display working without editing grub options manually in each boot [20:55] ilmaisin: failed boot on an intel onboard lubuntu install [20:55] oops you know your own issue [20:55] EriC^^: ^ :D [20:55] what do you usually use in grub to get it working? === Guest32522 is now known as on247 [20:56] EriC^^: removing the "gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode" [20:57] but the config file is really different from the actual boot options [20:57] you usually press e and remove it from the entry? [20:57] daftykins: still there? [20:58] EriC^^: yes, but it is not persistent [20:58] 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 [20:59] ilmaisin: type cat /etc/default/grub | nc termbin.com 9999 [20:59] EriC^^: http://termbin.com/ywkk [21:00] Klumsy: yep [21:00] ilmaisin: ok, type sudo nano /etc/default/grub [21:00] ilmaisin: add a comment before GRUB_GFXMODE= [21:00] ok winXP machine fixed the disk and i could browse the files on there [21:00] ( add a "#" ) [21:00] Klumsy: \o/ [21:00] i need to connect an eithernet cable to this laptop to manually back it up here [21:01] EriC^^: so i should now revert it back what it was? [21:01] what do you mean? === on247 is now known as Guest92545 [21:01] any tips? [21:01] Klumsy: sounds good, you could browse over to the XP machine using nautilus if you share it [21:01] slightly OT: is it recommended to shred old ssl private keys when generating a new one? [21:01] why do you have it set to 640x480 in the first place? === Guest92545 is now known as on247 [21:01] EriC^^: trying to solve the problem [21:01] i dont have a network connection on that thing tho [21:01] the router is in the other room [21:02] ilmaisin: what resolution do you use usually? [21:02] EriC^^: 1680x1050 [21:03] thanks 10000000X [21:03] now i know that it does not like the USB cable chipset [21:03] ilmaisin: ok comment it out [21:04] and then what? [21:04] 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. [21:05] 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] ilmaisin: type on the bottom GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep [21:06] EriC^^: done, updating grub and rebooting now [21:06] ok [21:06] Klumsy: :) np [21:06] Klumsy: oh you can just statically address your two systems if you are connecting a LAN cable direct between === john is now known as Guest64547 [21:07] 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] ##windows can help you with windows file sharing... i hope ;) [21:08] EriC^^: no, it didn't help, the pesky line stays in the boot options [21:08] yes it'll stay there, but that's the variable [21:08] try setting it to "text" in /etc/default/grub [21:09] EriC^^: ok [21:09] i just wonder how this kind of bugs can make it to the releases since intel graphics are so common [21:13] ilmaisin: any luck? [21:13] ilmaisin: well it's not necessarily a bug, might just be your machine/install [21:14] EriC^^: yes, now it works [21:14] EriC^^: thanks [21:14] no problem [21:15] could it possibly be something with the lubuntu images [21:16] they are not officially supported by canonical so they maybe go through less testing [21:20] 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] 14.04, Dell Precision M3800 [21:20] I liked this feature === on247 is now known as Guest64972 [21:22] C_minus_: try adding acpi_backlight=vendor to grub's kernel line [21:23] oops [21:25] EriC^^ this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/128463/how-to-control-brightness ? [21:25] hello..... [21:25] what does that do exactly [21:25] !14.04.3 [21:26] !LTS 14.04.3 [21:26] !14.04 | curlyears [21:26] curlyears: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) was the 20th release of Ubuntu and is the latest !LTS version. Download at http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/ - CHECK FOR POINT RELEASES at http://releases.ubuntu.com - Release Info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes [21:26] C_minus_: it disables the acpi backlight driver [21:26] thanks, MonkeyDust [21:27] curlyears 14.04.4 in fubruary === anonymous is now known as Guest71024 [21:28] ciao [21:28] OK. and 16.04 in April [21:29] 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] )-: [21:30] gave me an Error 5, what ever the **** that is [21:30] /load .xchat2/budus.so [21:31] 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] any clues, MonkeyDust? [21:32] curlyears: Is it a Sandisk? They have issues. [21:32] curlyears with which command or program did you create the bootbale usb? [21:33] Also try a different USB port, as this has changed variables before in the past. [21:34] MonkeyDust: I used the "creat an install DVD", the icon for which I locatdd in dash-> c > [21:35] curlyears and where did you get the iso? [21:36] 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] curlyears ubuntu+1 is for 16.04 ... which version are you installing? [21:36] I am currently downloading it again. [21:38] 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 [21:39] why isd the word "over" showinf up in blue, when the rest of my text is black? [21:39] curlyears yes, install 14.04.3 ... not sure if 14.04.2 is eol [21:39] .2 SAYS it is intalling successfully, but aFTER REPEATDD TRIES, IT STILL WON'T BOOT [21:39] sorry for the caps [21:39] 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. [21:40] curlyears yes, 14.04.3 will boot ... no need for 14.04.2 [21:40] 5 minutes remaining in the d/l [21:41] MonkeyDust: that's just the install DVD I alreadyt had, I woul;d've run all the updates on it after installation [21:41] I am trying to install to a 3TB parition on a 3TB HDD [21:42] less /swap and /boot, of course [21:42] if the install isn't bootable, why didn't the installer report errors? [21:42] 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? [21:43] edfinch there's also #ubuntu-server [21:43] 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 [21:44] MonkeyDust: OK will ask there, thanks. [21:48] zykotick9: https://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=ubuntu%2Bsandisk%2Bissues&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 [21:48] debug0x1: zykotick9: take it to ##hardware or #ubuntu-offtopic [21:49] Im trying to boot from a disk in a USB enclosure and have (initramfs) prompt [21:49] The HDD in the enclosure wsa working until I pulled it from the system and stuck it in the enclosure [21:50] was a bootable OS I mean [21:51] Hello, does anyone have any suggestions for an affordable motherboard that is ubuntu friendly broadwell (LGA 1150 socket or something similar) [21:52] RoyTheRocket that's for #ubuntu-offtopic [21:52] MWM: Verify UUIDs sudo blkid, /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/grub.cfg ?? === cpaelzer is now known as cpaelzer_afk [21:52] oh ok sorry MonkeyDust [21:52] have you found a broadwell board that says it wont support ubuntu? === cpaelzer_afk is now known as cpaelzer [21:52] I just dont want issues, like hard freeze [21:53] Bashing-om: Im lost once I hit this prompt. I see a list of stuff commands that are here but which one? [21:53] RoyTheRocket: you can get anything, i've never had a problem with a motherboard [21:54] I dont know I have had problems in the past with hard freezes because of hardware, I just dont want any issues [21:55] could have been actually bad hardware [21:56] maybe Ben64 but these computers worked fine with windows/mac [21:56] 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] yeah you are probably right [21:56] MWM: I would boot a liveDVD, mount the external's root partiton and verify those UUiDs in terminal . [21:56] MWM : have considered the possibilty of a bad cable in the enclosure? [21:57] 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 [21:58] curlyears: the cable is good, and the enclosure was known working until a few days ago [21:58] MWM: IF it is wrong UUIDs for the devices - failrly easy fix . [21:59] Bashing-om: that is likely the case. I removed the drive and added others. Fstab is out of date now or something? [21:59] my RPi motor control hat and servo motor just arrived...oh, boy, new toys! [22:00] MWM: That is my theory .. or grub got lied to about the UUIDs and is trying to boot what is not . [22:01] is daftykins there [22:01] yep [22:01] Bashing-om: any clue what's causing my issue? [22:01] ok man i just copied the entire partation [22:01] and delete it and create now 50 gb [22:02] mmm no you don't need to create anything like that right now [22:02] so after that do I need to alter the fstab or is there a way to force autodetect? [22:02] just leave the space blank... and change the disk to 'basic' [22:02] i cannot change it to basic [22:02] 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] as the option is locked [22:03] right click on disk 0 and the conversion to basic is locked [22:03] ok, nevermind then for that part [22:04] abi__: can you share a fresh screenshot of disk management? [22:04] ok wait [22:05] 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]
  • I downloaed an GUI application but it doesn't run unless I fire it from terminal! [22:06] one thing I seem to see more often than not is "invalid magic" [22:06]
  • I've chmod it 777 and ls alt it -rwxrwxr-x [22:06] I just realized 14.04 doesn't use systemd. What init system does it use? [22:06] upstart [22:06] 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 . [22:07] AMD* [22:07] curlyears: invalid magic usually means the header of the file etc. is wrong [22:07] the part that says what that file or disk or whatever is [22:08] dafitykins please check http://imgur.com/6PhZZLn [22:08] 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 [22:09] daang, sorry for the all caps [22:09] abi__: ok, delete E: [22:09] ok [22:09] wait [22:10] 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] installer, not installed [22:11] ok dafitykins check this http://imgur.com/Onm3XIL [22:11] I have verified that the install DVD is correct and undamaged [22:11] curlyears: maybe it's a corrupted file? [22:11] abi__: yep, now resize D: (increase) so it has more space for all the data you put on C: [22:11] did you checksum the iso? [22:11] curlyears: A thought . corrupt burn ? Have you from the liveDVD's boot menu " check disk for defects " ? [22:12] Bashing-om: Yes, several times. It is reported to be unflawed [22:12] i didnt put any data in c [22:12] i put all the data of e to d [22:12] and I have installed on mulitple machine successfully with that DVD, as well [22:13] including this one in July [22:13] maybe the hdd is going bad [22:13] or the partition table was corrupted or something [22:13] try booting a live usb and run fsck on it and smartctl to check the health [22:13] all that's different is a 3TB drive in polace of 500GB, and 24 GB RAM in place of 8GB [22:13] 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 [22:14] it's a brand new HDD [22:14] curlyears: boot a live usb [22:15] curlyears: when you say you can cd to the disk you're installing to [22:15] are you dd'ing the install here?? [22:15] cripes ubuntu desktop is taking a long time to boot from DVD. [22:15] dafitykins is that exfat [22:16] curlyears: Added ram ? sure all the ram is compatible ? What does a memtest86 reveal ? [22:16] 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] 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] MWM: Yeah ... takes a bit of time to load into ram . [22:16] curlyears: try to dd the iso there [22:16] memtest86 ran for several hours, and found 0 flaws in the RAM [22:17] if i right click on that i see only new simple volume properties and help [22:17] EriC^^: dd *.iso to USB no options? [22:17] I didn't think iso-s were bootable [22:17] special ones are :) [22:17] curlyears: Well, that is a good thing ! :) ... I back to considering "what else " . [22:18] OK [22:18] abi__: hmm, what is the first choice after 'new simple volume' ? [22:18] curlyears: sudo dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M && sync [22:18] properties only [22:18] abi__: no i mean the choice when you pick new simple [22:18] ahhh, thanks EriC^^ [22:18] curlyears: type sudo parted -l to get your usb's /dev/sdX [22:18] I have been searching Google for a few days how to create proper entropy on GPG without urandom. How can I create proper entropy without using random/urandom. Spinning my mouse around and clicking random things is definitely not working. [22:19] abi__: nevermind, i think boot the ubuntu installer again now [22:19] (in 'try' mode) [22:19] check this http://imgur.com/nzqqaoj [22:20] !gpg [22:20] gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts [22:20] babbles start here ^^^ [22:21] abi__: yeah, i think they simplified the disk management tools too much [22:21] after that check this http://imgur.com/rz0zyaQ [22:21] MonkeyDust, I have re-read that page a few times. I am still unable to create enough entropy with mouse/keyboard inputs. I will re-read again though. [22:21] yeah...where would a Live CD session place a downloaded file?

Its alright, but it feels ....airy :0 [22:28] his Live CD stuff is sometimes confusing, paths are strange [22:28] It just doesnt seem as solid as Ubuntu desktop. the full fledged desktop version is too heavy for my purposes though [22:28] curlyears strange? [22:29] ok thankx let me try [22:29] i will be back after [22:29] viruaposta, how to make sure I remove all skypies [22:29] MonkeyDust: unfamiliar and a little confusing. Remember that I am an Old Farte [22:30] old is relative [22:31] viruaposta, brb [22:31] reboot [22:32] in any case. I am gogin to try to dd the ios fiel now [22:33] 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] MWM: Ya figgured out how to see the install's /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/cfg files from that liveDVD ? [22:34] 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 [22:35] 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 === lulcat is now known as lppp [22:35] daftykins: its different this time I swear! :) === lppp is now known as lulcat [22:35] i just feel like we're being involved half way through something... [22:36] 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] can't he just use dd to copy one disk to the other? [22:36] curlyears: size is an issue i would imagine. [22:36] plus it's very inefficient [22:36] copies free space too [22:37] MWM: so, OS disk + 6TB... you copied the OS drive... that sounds insane [22:37] daftykins: : why wou.ld size be an issue? ubuntu can't handle very klarge drives? [22:37] curlyears: drive size mismatches [22:37] nonono... OS is on an 80gb drive. Moving the 6TB into the machine to replace the little 80GB [22:37] curlyears: a 6TB disk wouldn't fit on a <6TB external... [22:37] I installed openvpn on ubuntu 14.04, and I establish a successful connection with remote, but can not access anything on the VPN. What could be the issue? [22:37] How can I watch netflix on ubuntu 15.10? it wants me to install silverlight/html5, but i thought firefox has html5 already [22:37] Niklas_, use chrome [22:38] viruaposta, purged skype* , rebooted, apt-get -f install but same issue [22:38] I thought he want to close his OS *TO* the 6TB drive, sowwy [22:38] clone, not close [22:38] hmm it was easy to get confused, you might well be right [22:39] 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] you can watch Netflix on ubuntu? tell me more [22:39] can anyone help me with installing skype: http://pastie.org/10649575#1,18,145,246,262,280,293,305,323 [22:39] 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] Niklas_: yes HTML5, DRM components no... you need chrome for that. [22:40] daftykins: chrome or chromium better? [22:40] 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] Thats it? dd? or at the most boot from liveCD again and fix fstab? [22:40] gotta run. Ill drop back in iof I have issues. thanks guys [22:40] would be way easier to just create a fresh partition table and copy the root filesystem using rsync from a live session [22:40] thanks, BlackFare [22:41] Niklas_, not sure if chromium will do [22:41] curlyears: Netflix .. Google-chrome gets around the DRM . I understand works a treat ! [22:41] 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] Niklas_: only chrome, chromium does not support the proprietary DRM component [22:41] okay [22:41] thanks guys [22:41] i probably should have highlighted him, let's hope he has a gpt partition on the 60gb one [22:41] curlyears: one isn't enough for Linux [22:41] 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 [22:42] TJ-: ah har, didn't realise dd wouldn't handle that [22:42] * Voyage waits [22:42] curlyears: you need gpt if you want 2tb+ partitions [22:43] aha.....that is my big problem! How do I install gpt? [22:43] 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] hi [22:43] 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] can anyone help me [22:43] curlyears: actually i mean sudo gdisk /dev/sdX [22:43] I have kubuntu, and can't install anything via apt-get [22:43] even steam, kwrite... lol [22:44] whats the error [22:44] bartosz_, did you try to "apt-get update" ?

Is it #ubuntutouch? [23:04] Is there not a common way to make a usb rescue disk without having to download the entire Ubuntu iso?
