[00:00] Schnabeltierchen, nope, that would error. [ ] are not used like that. Furthermore the [ $2 != "left" | "right" | "up" | .. is not right [00:01] Bashing-om, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14202781/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/14202787/ [00:02] Schnabeltierchen, you need to rewrite that, its all wrong. Try using "case" http://www.shellhacks.com/en/CASE-Statement-in-Bash-Example [00:03] aotea: Look'n at them . [00:03] Bashing-om, now that I see the output from the later one, I suspect it might be Primus [00:03] Seeing that was installed first with bumblebee which I later purged to try replace with Nvidia-prime only [00:04] Oh well boot-repair didn't work :-P [00:06] BlackFate okay, removed the [] around the curls, tweaked the if´s and swaped some ' with ", final version looking like http://nopaste.linux-dev.org/?905659 [00:06] Anyone wanna take a look at the pastebin and see what they think? http://paste.ubuntu.com/14202773/ === dreamon__ is now known as dreamon [00:07] aotea: "rc primus" That rc is (R)emoved but (C)onfig files remain ; should not be an issue . I am of the opionion that the 346 driver is the more stable, Want to try the 346 version and see what results ? [00:07] Schnabeltierchen, bah, it's still messed up. give me 1-2 mins [00:08] Bashing-om, sure I'll give that one a run for it and see if the issue persists. Thanks for your time and help [00:09] So just to recap, my wife's laptop has failed to boot on the last two kernel updates. It either gives me the grub> or grub-rescue> prompt. I've used the liveusb to fix it twice and last time used boot-repair. The output from boot-repair is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14202773/ [00:10] aotea: K .. when all settled out run ' dpkg --list |grep "^rc" | cut -d " " -f 3 | xargs sudo dpkg --purge ' to cope with the "rc" marked packages . [00:10] It boots now but power cycles on the most recent kernel I have to use an older one to get it to work. [00:12] Bashing-om, does that remove all things ticked for "rc" from showing (and truly purging them from system with all their configs) ? [00:12] OpenSorce: A quick question, Have you set the 1st hard drive as 1st boot priority in bios ? [00:14] aotea: That is affirmative . Will clean out ALL packages that the package manager has marked as "rc" . [00:14] Bashing-om, hmmm... only one drive on the system so I doubt I've looked at it [00:14] Bashing-om, It's probably set to boot to the USB first if it's present since it works that way, hold on I'll look. [00:17] Schnabeltierchen, try this http://paste.ubuntu.com/14202866/ === sins-_s is now known as sins- [00:17] Bashing-om, 1st drive is set third in the list behind possible usb devices. Should I try moving it to first? [00:17]
  • Any links to read to about selinux on unbuntu? is it by default, insalled and active? [00:17] bye [00:18]
  • totally different from redhat tutorials I found there is not /etc/selinux [00:19] Li, ubuntu uses apparmor [00:19] hi what is alternatively program on kde to gedit on gnome [00:19] thx blackfate, but first let me take a selfie.... try to understand the script :P [00:20] kate m477 [00:20] bazhang: thx [00:21] Schnabeltierchen, didn't fully test it.. there could still be issues... Some notes. when you compare a $1 with a string.. make sure you write "$1" and not just $1. Also be careful when using single quotes with curl. You need double quotes for the curl command to understand the $2 [00:21] Bashing-om, moved it to 1st. No change, still power cycling on the newest kernel [00:23] OpenSorce: . A couple of things I do not understand 1) " GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="persistent" "" What is up with such a boot parameter in the /etc/default/grub file ? [00:24] Bashing-om, no clue. I didn't add that... [00:25] BlackFate when i compare $1 with a string, the "bit value" of $1 is getting compared, when doing "$1" the normal value is getting checked, right? So i do need to insert some " around $2 in thecurl line? [00:25] no, it's fine like that [00:26] Schnabeltierchen, you are not comparing something inside curl, you just need the value of $2 [00:27] BlackFate so no " for $2 in the curl line? [00:28] Schnabeltierchen, no from what i see. you can test the curl command by adding an echo in frond of curl [00:30] Schnabeltierchen, in the specific example from what is see you need to change it like that http://paste.ubuntu.com/14202948/ [00:30] OpenSorce: Then there is " hint-efi=hd0 " and " This live-session is not EFI-compatible. " Is this box UEFI enabled and booting in that mode ? -> SecureBoot maybe enabled. (??) .. This maybe above my pay grade . [00:31] Bashing-om, again not a clue. Gonna edit out the persistent parameter and see if that helps [00:33] OpenSorce: K; also insre that you are booting in CCSM mode , if this box is UEFI endowed . ( for EFI booting there is no efi /boot partition ) . [00:33] insure* [00:33] Bashing-om, nah it's older than UEFI [00:37] Bashing-om, commenting out the persistent line makes it stop power cycling on the latest kernel but it now it locks up. [00:38] hi everyone [00:38] We can call that progress I suppose :-P [00:38] merry chrismas to you all [00:39] Merry Christmas Pilou_ [00:39] BlackFate something with passing the second argument is wrong, some " or ' around the $2 in the curl line is missing [00:40] u2 [00:40] Bashing-om, I guess I'm gonna purge that latest kernel so it will boot without input and tell my wife to stop updating for now :-P === Monthrect is now known as Piper-Off [00:42] Thanks for the help though [00:44] Schnabeltierchen, hmm let me see [00:46] OpenSorce: I also run 14.04 ..comparing your boot fioes to mine , there is a huge difference ( parsed by boot repair ??) verify the grub version ' grub-install --version ' . [00:47] files* [00:47] Schnabeltierchen, what error do you get? [00:47] Bashing-om, grub-install (GRUB) 2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1.6 [00:48] Running autocutsel creates a little white box on gnome-shell, how to prevent this ? [00:49] the json pattern was not correct... [00:49] OpenSorce: Grub version same same as mine . I am in a learning mode to find the cause of your booting problem . [00:49] BlackFate the json pattern for curl was not correct, i swapped some " and ' and it worked :) [00:49] does anyone know how to watch twitch on linux without the cpu going nuts? [00:50] Bashing-om, thanks for your help. I'm headed to work but my znc stays connected. If you run across anything pm me. Thanks again :-) [00:51] OpenSorce: K; I keep looking .. [00:53] BlackFate http://nopaste.linux-dev.org/?905720 is the working thing [00:54] Schnabeltierchen, nice :) [00:55] slow down, only the first part working, the "Input.Home" part isn´t working -_- [00:57] Greetings [01:04] hi, I'm trying to format an old disk, and i get the following message: "/dev/sdb1 is apparantly in use by the system".

[02:36] Finetundra_: yeah i'd look up that chipset against your ubuntu version then [02:36] dupingping_: if you have ssh on the server, you can already use it as a proxy [02:36] so I can sort both files and folders by size [02:36] dupingping_: but what have you actually *done* on the server to try to setup a SOCKS proxy? Have you tried to follow any tutorial or have you just come here expecting us to tell you every command you need? [02:36] quarters: no [02:37] somsip: oh, no every command, just most ubuntu socks server creator uses. [02:38] daftykins: Asus has provided a driver.

The interfaces are set up correctly as i can tell at least it worked before. But now dhcp nor static can ping outside. For static the ip is set but for dhcp the server doesnt get an ip from the router. I need some tips where to look at. I am out of ideas [10:58] michel_: are you saying your machine is no longer getting a dhcp ip from the new router ? [10:58] ikonia yes [10:59] michel_: is your machine set to use dhcp addresses ? [11:00] ikonia i tried but on the new location it needs a static. But it worked on the location before [11:00] michel_: why does it need to be static on the new location ? [11:01] Ikonia because the router it set up so. And for port forwarding [11:01] michel_: port forwarding normally responds to a dhcp address given from the router [11:01] thats how the router can port forward as it knows about your machine due to getting an address from the dhcp scope [11:02] Ikonia but not this time and i dont know why [11:03] michel_: ok - so if you have set a static IP correctly, (remember it will need to be a private not public IP) then the things you need to check are 1.) link status 2.) dns servers 3.) default gateway [11:04] Ikonia to be detailed here i set up the router for a friend and at my home i used dhcp and worked like it should. Setting the interface inst hard there are plenty of guides out there. But on my friends home the server cant reach the router with static nor dhcp [11:05] michel_: if you setup the router, why did you set it up to need a static IP rather than as you had done at home [11:05] Ikonia how do i check link status? Or you mean the cable itself? [11:06] michel_: you need to check the things I've given you - link status, dns servers default gateway [11:06] michel_: tools such as ethtool will show the link status, as well as the router home page, [11:06] make sure the devices can see each other at a dumb level === Upsanta is now known as Uptime [11:07] Ikonia ok i will try it tomorrow.

[11:20] so I decided to shut down the laptop using the long press of the power button [11:20] naftilos76: no [11:20] easyOnMe: ok - so the machine is not hung if you can still use the mouse [11:20] I have my laptop partioned [11:20] the other partion uses Linux Mint Rebecca [11:20] easyOnMe: first thing to do would be to open a resource monitor, to see how your rsources are being used [11:20] easyOnMe: when it hangs see the resource level, that would be a good starting point [11:21] ikonia: but I find it weird as it does not happen regularly [11:21] easyOnMe, use sudo fdisk -l to see what is what [11:21] easyOnMe: thats not weirf [11:21] ikonia: thing is [11:21] naftilos76: why are you looking at his disk partitions ? [11:21] I cannot even click on anything as nothing responds to the mouse click [11:21] yet some lights on the laptop are blnking [11:21] easyOnMe: thats why I said setup a resource monitor [11:22] ikonia, because he needs to know what to check for errors [11:22] ikonia: how to set up a resource monitor [11:22] naftilos76: check what for errors ? [11:22] easyOnMe, he talked about bad sectors [11:22] ikonia, [11:22] ikonia: secondly even the terminal I cannot use because even the icon for the terminal when clicked does not even show any terminal at all [11:23] there is nothing to suggest there is a bad sector on his disk [11:23] easyOnMe: you've already said the desktop didn't respond - I get it [11:23] easyOnMe: setup a resouce monitor [11:23] easyOnMe, you can use CTRL+ALT+Fx [11:23] naftilos76: that is for what [11:23] easyOnMe: do you have bad sectors on your disk, yes/no [11:24] ikonia: how can I set up a resource monitor [11:24] for terminals if you want access to one [11:24] ikonia: I do not know [11:24] ikonia: how do I know whether I have a bad sectors or not [11:28] easyOnMe: ok - if you do'nt know if you have bad sectors, don't tell people you're trying to fix bad sectors [11:28] easyOnMe: it missleads people with bad information, just tell people what you KNOW as FACT [11:32] https://i.imgur.com/rmZeInY.png want the nas as device in nonroot nemo (left) only got that with root (right) [11:33] ikuria: it's mounted user land [11:33] ikuria: thats why it's not in the "root" [11:33] didnt understand [11:33] if you set a global mount in the fstab, it may/should show up where you want [11:33] its in the fstab [11:34] line: //white/Public /media/ikuria/MyCloud cifs sec=none,rw,users,uid=1000 0 0 [11:34] interesting, I'd expect that to show up as a device in the root menu [11:34] maybe worth logging a bug to clarify [11:40] .

[12:07] no [12:07] bill_gates no, if you're doing it right, simply open putty, enter ip and user, connect [12:07] password auth is the default [12:09] bill_gates maybe a firewall issue in ubuntu (iptables, ufw) [12:09] by the way ,how to use ssh with ftp or sftp? [12:10] bill_gates: Rephrase the question please. It is nonsense so far.

[12:40] Its a script that I got when I checked out a project from github. Its meant to execute scripts in the subfolders and build the modules. [12:41] This is the github project by the way. https://github.com/soomla/unity3d-store [12:41] NielsMkn: worth with them to sort out their scripts and dependencies then [12:42] hmm, I wonder no one reported this problem so far. Its a pretty famous plugin. [12:42] they probably read the docs and made sure the env was setup right [12:43] hmm ok. I'll re-read the docs and check if I've missed out something. Thanks!

I have ubuntu 15.10 [13:37] lotuspsychje, 346 doesn't show in "Driver Manager" but I guess I can still run apt-get for it? [13:38] aotea: no, best to only use the versions that shows up [13:38] emi71: maybe the #gamingonlinux guys know that? [13:38] emi71: minecraft is in playonlinux database?

[13:59] aotea: or purge nvidia and test on nouveau? === sat-buddhi is now known as Sruti === captain is now known as Guest9812 [14:17] lotuspsychje, 304 drivers had too low resolution, while also suffering from the black screen issue. With the Nouveau drivers wine can't seem to use my Graphics card but instead uses the processor :( [14:19] aotea: fiel a bug against 15.10 or try LTS [14:19] file === Guest9812 is now known as teutone [14:26] merry christmas folks [14:26] if anyone has a few minutes to make suggestions on a skype issue I would appreciate it greatly [14:27] I'm unable to install it [14:27] The following packages have unmet dependencies: skype: Depends: skype-bin but it is a virtual package [14:28] if I try downloading the .deb and running it in software centre, I get told 'Cannot install "libqtwebkit4:i386" [14:28] if I try installing that, it says something else is missing; if I try to install the missing item, it says there's something else again, and so on and so on ad infinitum === onano is now known as Darkseid [14:34] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skype/+bug/1523060 [14:34] Launchpad bug 1523060 in skype (Ubuntu) "skype is not installable on trusty" [Undecided,New] [14:34] that's the one [14:36] fearnothing: i have installed skyp many times from their website on trusty [14:36] fearnothing: your installing via partner repo perhaps? [14:38] lotuspsychje: I've tried both ways [14:38] neither works [14:38] fearnothing: did you try the multiarch version? [14:38] yes [14:38] hmmz [14:39] made sure I had the multiarch support installed first too [14:39] fearnothing: not sure on this mate, we had same issue on a user here yesterday [14:40] this is from a completely fresh install [14:40] fearnothing: you dindt add ppa's of any kind for other software? [14:40] right [14:40] one of the threads I looked at suggested a PPA as a possible solution but that was after loads of other stuff, definitely not the original cause [14:42] fearnothing: purge skype* and reinstall try? [14:43] apt-get purge? [14:44] fearnothing: yeah try to purge skype* completly [14:44] fearnothing: and sudo apt-get update in bewteen [14:44] yeah tried that. No dice. [14:44] So, I dont know how much I destroyed my system, but after having installed nouveau drivers I wanted back to proprietary, and not I can't get anything displayed at all, have to run this through tty.

[14:45] .xchat2/budus.so [14:46] lotuspsychje: why make a new one, that link I posted was the same as my issue [14:46] fearnothing: ok then add your issue to the existing bug, to make things move? [14:46] yeah I'm going to do that [14:47] fearnothing: add pastebins of your experience to it :p [14:48] lotuspsychje: I'm booted just fine seeing I can still run commands and what not - only I can't get the nvidia drivers to work at all this time... I got the 352 installed and everything is up to date according to apt-get [14:49] aotea: we have a lot of users getting issues on the 352, and got solved with lower versions + nvidia-prime + performance mode [14:49] aotea: i would try LTS in your case [14:50] lts [14:50] fearnothing: maybe few things to try here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/215298/unable-to-install-skype-on-64bit-ubuntu [14:52] fearnothing: are you up to date to 14.04.3 yes? [14:53] yes [14:54] hey all, i'm replacing my harddrive with an ssd. what's the easiest way to have everything over? (also, is copying just the home folder enough?) [14:54] chrisss123456: not very reccomended, you need to set bios from IDE to AHCI and install on your ssd fresh [14:55] chrisss123456: before installing, also check latest firmware updates for your ssd before ubuntu install [14:55] lotuspsychje: is that to copying the home folder? not sure what you mean by changing the bios...? [14:55] lotuspsychje: definitely. how do i do that though without installing an os on it? [14:55] chrisss123456: no reinstall fresh mate [14:56] chrisss123456, fresh reinstall. no shortcuts >>> fewer headaches [14:57] cfhowlett: for sure. so treat it like a new drive, and then move over everything on the old on? [14:57] one* [14:57] done, bug status confirmed now [14:57] fearnothing: ok mate good luck with the progress [14:57] thanks [14:57] merry christmas :) [14:58] chrisss123456, yep. [14:58] cfhowlett: ok, is that just a matter of moving over the home folder? [14:59] cfhowlett: like, i have a few programs and libraries that aren't on the default repo's. would that copy over? [14:59] How do I expand my variable as an arugment so that I don't get the below AWS EB error which complains that I am using a special character, when in fact it is a variable? Does xargs solve this issue? [14:59] echo $vars --> FOO=BAR KEY=VALUE [14:59] eb setenv $vars myapp --region us-west-1 --> invalid format error, eg: FOO=BAR , not $ signs [14:59] chrisss123456, non-default programs will NOT copy over and will have to be reinstalled. [14:59] avstar i guess that's more for #bash [14:59] chrisss123456, same for libraries. [15:00] @MonkeyDust, thak you [15:00] cfhowlett: ahh good to know. is there a way to see all the programs and libraries? [15:00] chrisss123456, dpkg -l === Piper-Off is now known as Monthrect [15:01] cfhowlett: christ that's a long list. thanks for all the help! === jack is now known as Guest79544 [15:02] chrisss123456, pipe it to text file: dpkg -l > myfiles.txt [15:02] cfhowlett: cheers! [15:05] I update my ubuntu 15.10 kernel 16 to 22 ,then when i restart my computer, I saw the Login turn to Debin 8. Is here anyone who happen the same things just like me? [15:05] debin :> [15:05] Guest79544, no way your ubuntu magically turned into debian based on a kernel upgrade unless you did something very hinky. [15:07] I didn't do anything. I just saw the update massage. and i click it to update. I don't know why this happen [15:08] anyone who had been happen it? [15:08] Guest79544 what's the output of cat /etc/issue [15:08] i install Library for autodection charset of Russian text but still Russian text appear like symbols like this Íåóÿçâèìîñòü [15:08] !ru | Bassem [15:08] Bassem: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [15:09] I reinstall my system. So the massage was gone. [15:09] Guest79544, what is the output of cat /etc/issue [15:09] cfhowlett, im not russian i just have some file with russian text i want to translate it [15:09] Bassem, my mistake, sorry. [15:10] cfhowlett, do you have any idea on how to display russian text in text file [15:10] Hi [15:10] Can anyone help me with installing skype and managing the conflicts at http://askubuntu.com/questions/713108/skype-unmet-dependencies-conflict-in-kubuntu-14-04-lts [15:10] I can't remember it. There is a lot of it. [15:10] Bassem, nyet. sorry. [15:11] Bassem: might still be worth asking them, since they probably handle the russian language more. [15:11] Guest79544, your lack of cooperation is answering this most basic question is demotivating and suspicious. last chance: what is the output of cat /etc/issue [15:11] SchrodingersScat, im afraied they will talk only russian and i wont understand [15:12] Bassem: True, could happen. [15:12] cfhowlett I am sorry. I reinstall my system. So the issue massage was gone. [15:12] When having an issue, how do one narrow down what is causing it? [15:13] Guest79544, any installed UBUNTU system retains this information. so ... you either scrambled your installation or you do not have ubuntu. [15:15] Ben64, Ben65 sorry to highlight but whcih one of you were chatting about skype issue yesterday with me/ [15:15] aotea by finding what's *not* it, until one cause remains [15:16] no, I use it for a long time. but this is the first time. this kind of things happen. [15:17] Guest79544, nope. what you say does not match with known ubuntu behavior. If true, you need to download a trusted .iso, verify the .iso and clean install. [15:17] Guest79544, also, even a live session booted from the USB will return information on cat /etc/issue. [15:17] is it possible (and safe) to install a single package from Xenial repos when running Wily? (http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=znc) [15:17] t3chguy: no, you really shouldn't. [15:18] t3chguy, nope. you are just begging for trouble mixing distro releases like that. [15:18] I download it for the org. the edition is wily wolf [15:18] Guest79544, did you verify the download? [15:18] yes [15:20] Guest79544, lsb_release -a | nc termbin.com 9999 [15:20] what is this ? [15:20] that will return a url with system information. paste the url here. [15:21] t3chguy: I would say that's 'at your own risk' if you want to try that. If there isn't a package for your version then it may be more desirable to compile it, but that's not really 'supported' here either afaik. [15:21] t3chguy, compiling would certainly be preferable to mucking about mixing releases [15:22] I know I know, just laziness really, as I normally wouldn't bother only being one minor version behind but there's a fix in that ver I need. Will just compile; Thanks [15:22] No LSB modules are available [15:22] Guest79544, wait for it ... [15:22] OK [15:24] nothing happen. [15:24] Guest79544, then your system is malfunctioning. clean install. [15:25] why this thing happen? [15:25] Guest79544, first you said you upgraded, then you said you freshly installed. No idea, not enough information to guess at. === Darkseid is now known as Guest34210 === Acilim is now known as Acilim_A [15:27] OK [15:28] I will try to figure out it. [15:29] reinstall all the software. then find the problems. [15:29] hi [15:29] merry christmas :) [15:30] If I have dependancy conflicts and I upgrade from LTS to normal ; are those conflicts expected to fade awy? [15:30] merry christmas! [15:31] Voyage, you need to identify and clean up the source of your conflicts [15:31] how to upgrade from 14.04 lts to latest? [15:31] now,I have a little missing vivid [15:31] cfhowlett, that is near impossible it seems. Can upgrade to 15.xx help? [15:32] Voyage 14.04 > 14.10 > 15.04 > 15.10 ... better fresh install, but even better stay with LTS [15:33] Voyage what if an upgrade dosnt solve your problem? [15:33] MonkeyDust, you mean that the best choice is to stay with LTS? [15:33] MonkeyDust, ho,, dont ask. [15:33] MonkeyDust, fresh is the last resort then [15:34] Voyage yes, that's the fastestn easiest and cleanest ... nut not needed, if you ask me [15:34] typos* [15:34] nut? [15:34] too much eggnog? [15:34] MonkeyDust, I have too much configs to remake. [15:34] Hi,all. [15:34] MonkeyDust, why dont you prefer the upgrade ? [15:35] Voyage for me? because i don't need it [15:35] MonkeyDust, need/prefer? [15:36] Voyage i'm an 'LTS guy' [15:36] what? [15:36] same here! [15:36] waht 's LTS guy? [15:36] liangjia, this is ubuntu support. ask your ubuntu question. [15:37] I've got a half-ubuntu question! [15:37] the other half is linux mint [15:37] linuxrunner, mint? nope. [15:37] MonkeyDust, why you prefer LTS? [15:37] !mint | linuxrunner [15:37] linuxrunner: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [15:37] well, then how about the ubuntu half? [15:37] what would be the cronjob to run a command every 3 hourse after 0:00 ? I mean, every 3 hours normally starts from then the crontab or server has started no ? [15:38] Ubuntu LTS. [15:38] OK,I see. [15:38] My question is that i would like to dual-boot ubuntu and linux mint, but i can't figure it out [15:38] LTS is not ideal for desktops [15:38] I have 14.04 but cant upgrade to 15.xx latest none beta. I have dependency issues and conflicts so I am hoping that the upgrade withl resolve thigns? [15:39] LTS are designed for stability and I don't really need the very latest, greatest, shiny stuff. Single exception: I installed inkscape via ppa [15:39] cron can every hours? [15:39] Voyage yes, but an upgrade to 15.10 is no guarantee [15:39] linuxrunner, install mint first, ubuntu second. that way ubuntu will write the bootloader. Otherwise, update grub again. [15:40] MonkeyDust, no gaurantee of what? === UbuN2 is now known as NoOne1 [15:40] cfhowlett: the way I want to do it is have a shared home folde [15:40] r [15:40] Voyage that your problem will be solved [15:41] MonkeyDust, chances? [15:41] !home | linuxrunner [15:41] linuxrunner: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving [15:41] MonkeyDust, as a side note: the problem is this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/713108/skype-unmet-dependencies-conflict-in-kubuntu-14-04-lts [15:41] actually, i have nothing installed yet. would i still have to move it? [15:42] linuxrunner, have you installed ubuntu yet? if not, use your manual installation options and when you get to the partitioning menu, point to the /home and do not format. [15:42] linuxrunner, I would have a dedicated /home. [15:42] Linux mint already installed and configured, but i could erase it [15:42] linuxrunner, move, not erase. should be the same process as shown in the wikie [15:43] Problem with that, cfhowlett, is that i don't have enough space to have 2 copies of everything [15:43] linuxrunner, understood, but if you move to a dedicated /home you have only a single copy. [15:43] and I want to be able to, for example, upload photos in linux mint in the home folder and then acces them in ubuntu int he home folder [15:43] Voyage skype works like a charm on my 14.04, so i don't know what could cause the dependency problem [15:43] that's right [15:43] MonkeyDust, hm [15:44] Voyage, skype has always worked for me in 14.04.3 [15:44] Voyage are you installing it from the repos, or with a ppa? [15:44] not good at linux, and terminal gives me terminal illnesses :), so i would like assistance [15:44] linuxrunner, "doable". make a /home, move your stuff, point new ubunt install to the /home [15:45] cfhowlett, ya, but if you hit upgrade button in muon, install some apps like vbox, krita, etc. then install skype, it makes issues. [15:45] MonkeyDust, there is no ppa for skype; so repos of partner [15:45] hey [15:45] linuxrunner, well, you're going to have to get your hands a bit dirty. in fact, I'd strongly urge you to go the mint support channels and confirm the /home procedure before you do anything else. [15:45] I need a good security key for my Ubuntu installation :D [15:45] cfhowlett, i don't understand much at oll about linux. [15:46] AbuDhar, security "key"? best security is between your ears. [15:46] heh yeah I am installing Ubuntu now. [15:46] if you lose that key you are screwed :D [15:46] linuxrunner, then take it slow. go to mint channels and find out about "dedicated /home partition". set it up. then install ubuntu and use taht /home [15:47] AbuDhar, so you are talking about encryption? [15:47] ya [15:47] !encryption | AbuDhar [15:47] AbuDhar: For information on setting up encrypted private directories (8.10+) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory [15:47] #google-containers [15:48] I am at the installation phase now cfhowlett :) [15:48] AbuDhar, so you are basically asking us to choose your key for you? yeah, no ... [15:48] I used #mint-help and there's barely anyone on [15:48] AbuDhar pwgen [15:48] any ohter mint channel? [15:49] cfhowlett: hahaha :D [15:49] !mint | linuxrunner, [15:49] linuxrunner,: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [15:49] MonkeyDust, you prefer LTS because its more stable? [15:49] like you will ever steal my laptop anyway cfhowlett :P [15:49] AbuDhar in a terminal, type pwgen [15:49] AbuDhar, asking random strangers for such advice is just lazy. [15:50] is fair password fine? or does it have to be STRONG? :D [15:50] it gives me fair right now [15:50] Question: once I have ubuntu 15.xx , can I convert / upgrade it to next LTS or the old 14.x LTS? [15:50] Voyage, 15.10 >>> 16.04 LTS [15:51] MonkeyDust: won't that give me something totally random ? :P [15:51] AbuDhar yes [15:51] cfhowlett, so I can upgrade to 16.04 LTS from 15.10 or any 15.xx ? [15:51] AbuDhar something nobody can guess [15:51] Voyage, 15.10 specifically [15:51] cfhowlett, why? [15:51] Merry Xmas to you all! [15:52] but I guess I have to remember it so I don't have to find that paper each time I am going to use it? [15:52] Voyage, ??? 15.10 upgrades directly to 16.04 [15:52] ok [15:52] AbuDhar 123abc is easy to remember [15:52] is 16.04 out? [15:52] aah ok.. there are some which is easy to remember [15:52] Voyage: no? [15:52] MonkeyDust, false. " p a s s w o r d " is easier [15:52] AbuDhar, when will it be?

[15:55] OerHeks, ya, you were very helpful too [15:55] Voyage: I guess so :P [15:55] ok :) [15:55] it was actually something I just realized lol [15:55] mrsam_ that's an answer to what you ask [15:55] how can i download it?t [15:55] mrsam_, i remember giving you help yesterday for trackpad!

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [16:07] skryptkitty, see the tuxcut help menu for assistance. it is not an ubuntu program [16:07] <ikonia>it does not work if u can help me,say to me u r way step by step [16:08] cfhowlett do you know if there is something like it for ubuntu then? [16:08] mrsam_: what command did I tell you to run ? [16:08] I just got a n3700(M-atx) mobo/cpu combo and i would like to install ubuntu server on it. I have loaded the image up from my usb like i normally do when installing an os. Unfortunately my keyboard stops responding once the installer has loaded. it asks for language (after language select on grub and hitting install). Keyboard is unresponsive [16:08] byzanz?

I'm lost.

[17:12] http://www.mitele.es/series-online/chiringuito-de-pepe/temporada-1/capitulo-10/ <<<< [17:13] buying a new laptop tomorrow, sure i'll be here with some kind of problem lol [17:13] lettuce45, works in chrome/html5 [17:13] .... [17:14] Guys I gave in. I went back to Windows 10 because of Photoshop/Illustrator and 4k+1200p screen better support. Is there any way I can support ubuntu and the linux community? I'm still running Elementary OS on my notebook and Ubuntu 15.10 on my media server. [17:15] I've also had issues with hardware acceleration in Chrome/Apps flicker on Ubuntu on my AMD card :( [17:16] i heard there isn't a proper AMD driver for the latest Ubuntu [17:16] I changed it even 14.04.3 lts has issues [17:16] Steam game won't play nice on open source and proprietary drivers made chrome flicker due to hardware acc [17:17] that's a shame, I'm going to buy a laptop tomorrow and I'm fond of AMD, not looking forward to installing nvidia drivers cause I've never had to do so before [17:17] Yeah nvidia works perfect [17:17] Happy WHATEVER HOLIDAY OR CELESTIAL EVENT you celebrate! [17:17] both my media server and notebook are nvidia and had zero issues [17:18] I'm always reading complications on installing the drivers for nvidia, so, I hope it goes smooth [17:18] I didn't had issues tbh. Just AMD ones gave me issues. [17:19] lettuce45, try this one , yours fails here too. http://www.cbc.ca/news/trending/sea-otter-b-e-1.3380400?cmp=rss [17:19] sucks, i'm sure a fix will come along in a month of so tho [17:20] BluesKaj, that one works [17:20] lettuce45, scroll down to see the otter video [17:20] i saw that [17:21] then it's the website's fault , lettuce45 that yours doesn't play [17:21] ok... [17:22] video plays for me, just installed chromium on lubuntu, no flash [17:22] chrome works here too [17:23] it has flash , which is an upgarded version from the old ones in other browsers [17:24] Morrwin, I got nvidia and can only speak for myself but I got issues [17:25] I've always had no problems with AMD but since i read there isn't proper drivers for the latest ubuntu, tomorrow i'm going to get a laptop with nvidia, i'm real weary about this [17:25] Never used nvidia before [17:26] lettuce45, i did this: i installed YouTube All HTML5, then in Preferences i have set Force Html5-test , and now your video it's working in FF . You can try [17:26] ioria, is that a package in synaptic? [17:27] lettuce45, no, a FF plugin (extension) [17:27] ioria, does that also work with non youtube streams and videos? [17:27] lettuce45, i have tested with your link .... [17:28] I disable e-mail reports for unattended-upgrades on 12.04 LTS server but I still keep receiving those. I have //Unattended-Upgrade::Mail and //Unattended-Upgrade::MailOnlyOnError both commented out. There's no daemon process to restart/reload configuration. This server was also rebooted (for a ... [17:28] ... different reason) but unattended-upgrades still keeps generating e-mail reports every day. What can be wrong here? [17:29] hi [17:29] need help with 14.04 LTS + new core [17:29] Geany and Atom cant work with ftp\sftp [17:30] gedit can (( [17:31] lettuce45, and i'm using the old flashplugin-installer 11 [17:31] does anyone know if there is an alternative to rainmeter for ubuntu [17:32] skryptkitty, conky [17:33] i just downloaded conky i just dont know how to use it [17:37] 2300+ pages with conky examples, biggest post on the forum i guess http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865&page=2322 [17:41] anyone else having full system hangs with 15.10 and intel drivers? [17:41] intel gpu* [17:43] hallo [17:43] ? [17:44] hi jona [17:44] cab you speak (write) German? [17:44] *can [17:44] no, but you can try #ubuntu-de [17:45] Geany and Atom cant work with ftp\sftp [17:45] any ideas? [17:48] sergey_ I do not know how you can get Geany and atom to work over ftp but I can only say that your use case is why someone created Vim. [17:48] i use nautilus [17:48] nautilus can go to ftp\sftp like local directories [17:49] and if open there file in Geany - Geany now shows blank screen [17:49] and i`m to old to use vim (( [17:50] sergey_: no problem, just use emacs [17:51] omg [17:51] crimewave lol [17:51] is it ubuntu channel or gentoo? [17:52] ubuntu apparently [17:52] ubuntu is\must be better and more usable Win [17:52] and u talking about oldstyle monsters [17:53] can anyone try `git clone https://github.com/stenyak/breakbot/; cd breakbot; ./get_libs.sh` to see if they get the same `remote host closed connection` error as me? I would appreciate it so much :) [17:53] its hard to use a GUI over the network as you have seen. You best bet is a terminal based editor. Vim is awesome by the way [17:53] emacs does gui over the network ... [17:54] orly? [17:54] crimewavebangban: no, but if you break that up into 3 commands I might try the one that you get an error on [17:54] Sorry I have never used emacs. I have no idea [17:54] are u trollin me? [17:54] crimewavebangban: at what point did it say "remote host closed connection"? [17:55] sergey_, i have no problem with geany ... but you have to use sftp:// in nautilus and then edit the file .... [17:55] tgm4883: the error is using `./get_libs.sh` when it tries to run `git submodule update --init` [17:55] crimewavebangban: why not edit the script and see what it's trying to connect to? :P [17:55] sergey_, not scp [17:55] :P [17:55] i didnt have some monthes ago [17:55] but i installed 4.x core and now i have [17:55] sftp sure [17:56] * Nicusor Hi :> [17:56] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/geany/+bug/738147 [17:56] Launchpad bug 738147 in geany (Ubuntu) "can't open gvfs sftp files" [Low,Confirmed] [17:56] like this but 14.04 + new core [17:56] sergey_, then once mounted, you can edit the file with gedit, leafpad, geany .... etc [17:56] no! [17:56] gedit - works fine not GEany - geany shows blank file [17:57] atom opens file but when I try to save it save blank file [17:57] sergey_, not for me .... i use geany [17:57] i did many years (( [17:58] is there anything else like Geany or atom.io [17:58] so does anyone get the same git error as me? [17:58] sergey_: just to be clear, you would rather switch editors than slightly change how you access the file? [17:58] crimewavebangban: you didn't answer any questions about it. [17:58] sergey_, try again Nautilus -> Connect to Server -> sftp://server/folder , then open the file with geany [17:59] i do it [17:59] ctrl+L sftp://user@host.com [17:59] right click - open in Geany [17:59] nicomachus: what were the questions i didn't answer? [17:59] crimewavebangban: at what point during that command are you getting the connection refused error? during the git clone or during the script? [18:00] or open in -> Geany \ Gedit \Atom [18:00] sergey_, double-click on Connect to server , then you need the remote folder mounted.... [18:00] its mounted [18:01] nicomachus: "the error is using `./get_libs.sh` when it tries to run `git submodule update --init`" [18:01] sergey_, open it with geany... but what kind of file are we talking about ? [18:01] php mostly [18:01] or xml or css [18:02] crimewavebangban: I would suggest opening that script up in a text editor and finding which connection is refusing you. [18:03] hello everyone i'm newbie on this i'm so glag to be here [18:03] nicomachus: github is refusing me. i'm not sure why. [18:03] datalayer: glag you could make it [18:03] ioria, look http://storage3.static.itmages.com/i/15/1225/h_1451066592_8241096_fb62d4dbb9.png [18:03] nicomachus: did you try to reproduce the errors? the script is 2 lines long. [18:04] crimewavebangban: no, I'm not installing a crappy bot onto my machine just to troubleshoot. Looks like that script only has one link, this one: https://oyoyo.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/oyoyo/oyoyo/ [18:04] which I can access from a browser. [18:04] http://storage7.static.itmages.com/i/15/1225/h_1451066666_7901720_5c502381c3.png [18:04] same file in gedit [18:05] crimewavebangban: and that link contains 7 python scripts which you can copy manually. [18:05] thank schrodingerscat anyone known a link for find e-books about smartphones? [18:05] sergey_, no problem with geany and xml .... [18:05] nicomachus: that's not the link that refuses me [18:06] sergey_, tested with this https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms762271%28v=vs.85%29.aspx [18:06] crimewavebangban: you told me it was refusing the connection during the script run. [18:06] it is. [18:06] well that link is the only one in that script. [18:06] see: https://github.com/stenyak/breakbot/blob/master/get_libs.sh [18:07] that's the only url but the command `git submodule update --init` probably connects to gh. [18:07] ioria, some monthes ago all worked [18:07] lol i have the source right here i know that's the only url [18:07] datalayer: that doesn't sound on-topic, this is specifically ubuntu support. there's !touch for the ubuntu on phones. Can try #ubuntu-offtopic if it's a more general question. [18:07] crimewavebangban: well idk what else you want, if you've got the source right there in front of you then look at it. [18:07] sergey_, changed something... ? fonts , stuff like that ? [18:07] core [18:08] kernel [18:08] lol i am looking at it. i'm just wondering why gh would refuse my connection [18:09] Description: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS [18:09] github didn't... once the git clone operation is done, you shouldn't be connecting to github anymore. [18:09] sergey_, well , tet's try with vim .... vim scp://remoteuser@server//path/to/document [18:09] 4.2.3-040203-generic [18:09] but I dont need vim [18:10] i am a noob, how can i install this from the terminal? i am on 15.10 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cwm/5.6-4 thanks [18:10] nicomachus: what else would `git submodule update --init` do? it must connect to gh [18:10] i'll ask someone else [18:10] sergey_, ok just copy the remote file on your machine , edit, and upload again [18:10] its my work - sites [18:11] it would be slow process for work hard [18:11] i downloaded the file here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/i386/cwm/5.6-4 [18:11] ioria, http://sourceforge.net/p/geany/bugs/1043/#7341 [18:12] !info cwm | SebastianTCL, it's in your repos, shouldn't need to do all that.

[18:15] sergey_, i'm using 23 too... they say FTP without specifying which ftp they are using ... are you using sftp ? [18:15] would someone please ask IdleOne in #ubuntu-offtopic to act more reasonably because it is past noon on Christmas day and the only reason i am silenced is because he would not accept i was the owner of ubuntu [18:15] and i cannot speak [18:16] avis: this is not a place to make complaints about op actions, take it to #ubuntu-ops . [18:16] avis: #ubuntu-ops is probably more appropriate [18:16] avis, take that to #ubuntu-ops [18:16] oh [18:16] triple teamed :> [18:16] echo on the channel [18:16] jinx [18:16] you owe me a spoda [18:17] what's a spoda? :) [18:19] it's the same thing as prop [18:19] some people say spoda prop [18:19] or croke [18:20] you mean soda pop? :P [18:20] crimewavebangban: although it's the season to be polite, i think making no sense is still off the cards ;) [18:20] which cards? [18:27] Usually a black one if I remember correctly. [18:28] what's off the cards? [18:28] you are. in the cards of "being on topic" [18:28] crimewavebangban: time to be quiet now, if you wouldn't mind. [18:33] important question: why is ubuntu.com HTTP only? [18:34] wrong day of the year for that query. [18:34] why is that? [18:34] HTTPS is pretty important for distribution sites, I'd rather not get MITM'd trying to download a copy of ubuntu [18:34] that's what hashes are for. [18:34] daftykins: without HTTPS, the MITM could modify the hashes on the fly [18:34] i think that's way too paranoid talk myself [18:34] daftykins, if the hashes are insecurely transmitted the hashes can be edited too [18:34] so the hashes are pointless [18:34] no, because the hashes are published... [18:35] oh i get what you mean now [18:35] upon viewing the file, yeah [18:35] i don't really choose to live my life under cover of tinfoil to consider such angles [18:35] all it needs is for the MITM to have a rule to s/ABCD1234/CDEF4677/ [18:35] bam [18:35] daftykins, ahh, the "pretend the problem doesn't exist" excuse, brilliant [18:35] now you download a fake ubuntu ISO, with a fake hash that matches the site [18:35] i hope you don't work at a bank [18:36] or anything important for that matter [18:36] hard core [18:36] you can't modify the package hash [18:36] Kardos: horses for courses, we're folks online talking about a free OS... not Canonical employees or those at a bank. [18:36] or the gpg key the packages are signed with [18:36] ikonia: sure, but you could mislead users into seeing a different GPG key [18:36] no you can't [18:37] Kardos + Someguy123 i'm sure this point could be raised to the appropriate people if you truly believed in it enough to pursue. [18:37] however again, worst day in the year to try and talk about it. [18:37] what was a difficult attack 10y ago is commonplace today (google mitmproxy), there's no reason to not employ proper https these days [18:37] Kardos: there is no need for https [18:37] the packages are signed [18:37] and there would be an overhead on servers that is not required, hence why it's not being done [18:38] ikonia, we're not talking about updates, we're on ISOs [18:38] where do you even find the signatures, on the ubuntu site I only see the hashes [18:38] daftykins, security doesn't matter on christmas? you're an odd guy [18:38] what has the iso got to do with anything [18:38] its the same concept [18:38] the iso's are checksummed [18:38] and the checksums transmitted in the clear, ripe for interception [18:38] Kardos: no, it is you who is odd... i'm saying everyone is on holiday so you coming here is a waste of time today :) [18:38] and are supposed to be distributed by torrent [18:38] Hi crew [18:38] Kardos: we're just volunteers, not folks that can action change, it's quite frankly laughable [18:39] If checksums don't match, don't use. Why be so paranoid about something that rarely happens, if at all? [18:39] but then i suspect you're just trolls trying to get a rise out of us. [18:39] if you feel strongly about it, log a bug [18:39] Hi [18:39] DosTuMai: it can happen quite often, and it's very easy to do, especially over shared wifi [18:40] e.g. at a school, or coffee shop [18:40] log a bug [18:40] raise your concerns [18:40] Haters gonna hate [18:40] if the checksums can be retrieved over https, that would kill the problem [18:40] Kardos: log a bug then [18:40] ^That. [18:41] it actually wouldn't solve the problem, because HTTPS isn't infallible :> [18:41] is :> a bird? [18:41] daftykins: what does it matter, we are in fantasy land anyway [18:41] Really, it only matters when you're downloading the torrent, and the checksum changes is something is modified on the file. [18:41] daftykins: it's a brick wall where there would previouslt be pretty much no wall at all [18:41] ikonia: true, that [18:41] Someguy123: ok well do something about it. [18:42] i think you're doo-lally though :) [18:42] i updated geany [18:42] Pimp that code [18:42] daftykins: I don't work at canonical [18:42] problem is stiil actual [18:42] Someguy123: you can still log a bug with all your concern [18:42] it will get reviewed [18:42] Bug reporting is key [18:43] Someguy123: you don't have to, and neither do we. [18:43] Here go [18:43] sergey_: can you describe it in a complete sentence then? [18:43] nautilus - open sftp - go to folder - open file in geany [18:43] it shows blank screen [18:44] Someguy123, actually these guys are right, logging a bug in the bug tracker is less likely to get lost than a few lines here [18:45] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/geany/+bug/1513374 [18:45] Launchpad bug 1513374 in gvfs "Geany is blank after opening gvfs remote files" [Undecided,New] [18:45] thats it!

[18:47] sergey_: you don't [18:47] proskill: it's not on topic for this channel - thats all [18:47] Lol [18:47] proskill: so show some respect for the 1700+ other channel members, and don't ask offtopic questions === cpaelzer is now known as cpaelzer_afk [18:47] sergey_, i told you i'm using 23 with no issue [18:47] Ok ill ask else were [18:47] thank you [18:47] It wasnt off topic [18:47] Never mind [18:47] but my kernel is 4.2.3 [18:48] yours one is 3.14.xx [18:48] isnt it [18:48] Geez [18:49] sergey_, you told before ':my Geany is 1.23.1?, so you are on trusty [18:49] yes [18:49] trusty + new kernel [18:49] i updated kernel separately [18:49] can anyone try `git clone https://github.com/stenyak/breakbot/; cd breakbot; ./get_libs.sh` to see if they get the same `Permission denied (publickey)` error as me? I would appreciate it so much :) [18:49] how did you update the kenel ? [18:49] crimewavebangban: thats not what this channel is here for [18:49] crimewavebangban: talk to the maintainers [18:49] (of that repo) [18:50] http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2015/08/upgrade-kernel-4-2-ubuntu/ [18:50] ikonia: so you think it's a problem with their repo and not my public key setup? i think so too. [18:50] crimewavebangban: no idea, [18:51] http://compizomania.blogspot.com/2015/10/linux-kernel-423-ubuntu.html [18:51] sergey_, do you still have a 3.13, or a 3.16 (or 3.19) kernel ? [18:51] i have [18:51] sergey_: following random url's off the internet is a very bad idea [18:51] sergey_, let's try it [18:51] but there`s big problem with that kernel [18:51] with what kernel ? [18:51] my system crushed few times a day in LTS kernel [18:52] with 3.13.x [18:52] how do you know it's a problem with the kernel ? [18:52] but it's blogspot <3 google [18:52] i found intel`s undecided bug [18:52] how do you know it's a problem with the kernel ? [18:52] sec [18:53] http://forum.ubuntu.ru/index.php?topic=267488.0 [18:53] thats the theme about [18:53] I can't speak russian [18:53] ikonia daftykins sergey_ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1529280 [18:53] done [18:53] Launchpad bug 1529280 in Ubuntu "Ubuntu site and release domain lacks SSL" [Undecided,New] [18:54] Tor is a great example of an issue [18:54] Someguy123: that's nice, now we're still not employees :) [18:54] https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80199 [18:54] Freedesktop bug 80199 in DRM/Intel "[hsw] GPU HANG: ecode 0:0x85dffffd stuck on render ring" [Normal,Resolved: worksforme] [18:54] this was the bug [18:54] daftykins: just incase anyone cared :P [18:55] what does :P mean? [18:55] sergey_: are you getting those error messages in your syslog ? [18:55] I see it everywhere [18:55] yes [18:55] crimewavebangban: and you're using 14.04 ? [18:55] crimewavebangban: oops, sorry [18:55] sergey_: and you're using 14.04 [18:55] yes [18:56] crimewavebangban: it's an emoticon. please stay on-topic here. [18:56] sergey_: so the hardware enablement stack (HWE) should upgrade your kernel to a supported version [18:56] Someguy123: although your point could do with bolstering, by stating how other common distros do have this in place (as i just looked up). Also, requiring just a certificate is a huge over-simplification - the web servers would consume more resources to provide this too [18:56] i upgrade kernel to 4.2.3 - so problem with GPU solved [18:57] but problen with Geany become [18:57] you've upgraded to the mainline kernel package [18:57] thats not solving a problem [18:57] but now i have no GPU bug [18:57] some monthes [19:00] daftykins: AFAIK, SSL doesn't do much to resources these days === cpaelzer_afk is now known as cpaelzer [19:06] daftykins: updated [19:08] is it safe to update ubuntu 15.04 to 15.10? [19:08] the process works fine [19:08] sergey_, in your link (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80199) , there are people using 3.10, or .14 or .15 ... not the officials [19:09] Freedesktop bug 80199 in DRM/Intel "[hsw] GPU HANG: ecode 0:0x85dffffd stuck on render ring" [Normal,Resolved: worksforme] [19:10] Happy Holidays :) --Trying to figure out how to start (and respawn) a virtualbox VM via upstart... my conf file passes syntax check, but doesn't actually start the VM... if I check the service, it always stays stopped/waiting. conf file here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14208212/ [19:10] but I had same bug [19:10] its common for all linux [19:10] if I run the command in the terminal the VM starts fine [19:10] will it work fine if I update?

[19:12] hello i have backbox and armitageis not have my ip [19:13] I'm kinda struggling with learning the upstart syntax (or making sense of it) [19:13] haydro: ask the backbox support guys for help, we don't support it here [19:13] gedits works fine [19:13] diegoviola, depends. Will your network connection go down during the upgrade? [19:13] and sometimes geany works [19:13] diegoviola, will the power go out? [19:13] rare but can be - i cant understand when [19:13] no [19:14] diegoviola, how do you know :) ? [19:14] I know everything [19:14] are backbox have packetge managment [19:14] haydro: ask backbox support [19:14] diegoviola, then you should know if you are going to have issues with the upgrade :) [19:14] sergey_, use gedit then, maybe with some xml plugins, but in my opinion you have the wrong kernel .... [19:14] JK [19:14] we don't support it here [19:14] gedit is too easy [19:14] don't support what? [19:15] !backbox > haydro [19:15] haydro, please see my private message [19:15] sergey_, add plugins ... https://launchpad.net/gedit-xmltools [19:15] I set up a "droplet" on digital ocean for a blog platform called ghost [19:15] gedit cant collapse function, no LESS support and so on [19:15] where is backbox support [19:15] diamonds: right...? [19:15] haydro: read their website [19:15] there's a user called ghost but with no homedir and I can't seem to `su` to that user [19:16] i use Eclipse mostly, but sometimes I need liteweight but powerful editor [19:16] anyway the application files are set up with that user as the owner [19:16] I wish to use SSHFS to mount that directory locally [19:16] can anyone help me troubleshoot a custom upstart script? http://paste.ubuntu.com/14208212/ It should be fairly simple, but I'm missing something.. :( [19:17] diamonds: so own the document root of your chosen web server as www-data:www-data ; then add your user to the 'www-data' group. [19:17] I set a password for that user, also created a home dir & copied my ssh key from root ~/.ssh/authorized_keys to `ghost`s homedir [19:17] does anyone know how to change the zoom settings for your desktop? Not the browser but the desktop? Way too big, don't know what changed it. [19:17] i guess technically it would be called an upstart job... [19:17] lbillywoodsii: go into the display settings and change the scale [19:17] daftykins, the issue is ssh'ing as ghost doesn't work properly [19:17] I can connect but it immediately disconnects me [19:17] I can't find display settings to change the scale [19:18] diamonds: ah you were quite vague in your explanation, we didn't need to know anything else then - just "SSH drops" :) [19:18] lbillywoodsii: are you using ubuntu with the normal unity desktop, or something else? [19:18] heh, me neither :p [19:18] sergey_, as i said before, i'm on trusy with 3.16, geany .23, and it's working with sftp+nautilus .... [19:18] lbillywoodsii: it's called monitors no? [19:18] it connects, outputs the normal SSH connect screen, then: "Connection to webzone closed." [19:18] (I called the host "webzone" locally) [19:18] ya wlad l9a7ab [19:19] diamonds: just to be sure, you are just using just a normal terminal with ssh to the DO droplet's IP? [19:19] ioria, no decision (( [19:19] daftykins, yes [19:19] diamonds: ask someone on a different internet connection to confirm it's unreliable for them, too. [19:19] also noteable: connecting with ssh_key works for root but not for `ghost` [19:19] update to 15.10 will be right decision? [19:20] root should not respond to ssh [19:20] diamonds: but to be quite honest this is a support issue for you to contact DO about, it's not our responsibility. [19:20] thank you sooooo much!!!! Much obliged! [19:20] ikonia: it's the DO default - you create a VM and it emails you root login [19:20] or better wait until 16.04? [19:20] it has no key, no password and is disabled in the sshd_config [19:20] so then it's a bodged ubuntu insall [19:20] and the "DO" people should support it [19:20] sergey_, you cannot upgrade an entire system just for geany.... come on .... === Br0ck is now known as [Br0ck] [19:21] ikonia, are you talking to me? [19:21] just in general [19:22] but if you're using a basterdised ubuntu - yes [19:22] where is backbox support [19:22] haydro: read their website [19:22] haydro: we are not backbox help [19:22] ikonia, I don't _want_ to ssh as root, that's why I'm going thru this rigamarole :p [19:23] diamonds: but they modify ubuntu's default config - so they can help you set it up how you want [19:23] diamonds: who konws what else they change, so they can support their custom build === mistletoe is now known as snowyhippo [19:23] I am guessing there's just some change to sshd conf rejecting other users or something [19:23] diamonds: you have no idea what they have changed [19:23] diamonds: so ask them/use their support === tinselchild is now known as aeonchild [19:25] on a side note... I have a user spamming me with IM's about converting to his religion... [19:25] LJSeinfeld: join #ubuntu-ops and tell us about it [19:25] how does one block that on IRC.. (i'm using Textual) -- I'm sure it's a bot [19:26] /ignore, but will us in #ubuntu-ops so we can stop it in the channel [19:27] LJSeinfeld, I mentioned it in #freenode, snowyhippo is looking into it maybe [19:27] is there a way to permanently ignore this person/bot? [19:28] I'm kinda new-ish to the nuts and bolts of irc... [19:28] LJSeinfeld: /ignore is the command [19:28] LJSeinfeld: much more nuts than bolts [19:28] LJSeinfeld: ask in #freenode for more, as this is OS support, not IRC ;) [19:28] IdleOne, ba dum tiss [19:28] daftykins, yeah, it was just targeting users in here for some reason it seems [19:29] diamonds: what was? a spam bot? yeah common occurence, no need to talk about it. [19:29] (accidentally clicked back to this window... sorry) [19:29] * diamonds nods [19:29] no problem [19:34] anyone got a sec to take a crack at my upstart issue? I don't understand why getting a VM to start and stop gracefully with the host OS is so freaking hard. .. === nikolaj is now known as barnabasdk [19:41] hi there i just did a biosupdate and now my brightness keys (x220) an not working anymore [19:41] does sombody have any suggestions [19:42] wuschLOR: what did you apply the update for? [19:44] had a new wificard and it wasn whitelisted [19:44] ah right [19:45] stupid lenovo [19:45] wuschLOR: tried a good power drain? pulling the mains and battery then holding power for a bit? [19:46] oh right i didn't do that good idea see you in 5 minutes [19:50] Ok, ladies and gents what is a good VPN to use that isn't just bloatware? [19:52] OpenVPN === [Br0ck] is now known as mew2 [19:53] That's the best one? [19:53] don't you setup openvpn on like a server? === mew2 is now known as [Mew2] [19:55] yes [19:55] i have one on a DO VPS as it goes [19:55] sledgemount: you understand how subjetective the question is you are asking [19:55] sledgemount: why dont you try some and see what you're like instead of making wild statements like bloatware [19:56] Anyone wanna look at my boot-repair paste and see why my wife's laptop won't boot either of it's last two updated kernels? http://paste.ubuntu.com/14202773/ [19:56] Ubuntu 14.04 btw [19:56] define won't boot ? [19:56] was this the grub prompt problem ? === nchambers is now known as mewtwo [19:56] ikonia, yes. grub> or grub rescue> [19:56] True, I need a good free VPN that will kill it's session if the VPN dies. [19:57] sledgemount: pretty much every vpn does that [19:57] I fix it using the liveusb and then it just power cycles on the latest two kernel === mewtwo is now known as charmander [19:57] OpenSorce: how do you fix it ? [19:57] that may give us an idea of the problem [19:57] My last fix I tried boot-repair [19:57] Does anyone here use Solaar with Logitech peripherals? I'm at a loss to pair a new device to a Unifying Receiver. [19:57] So what's a good one that's simple to use? [19:57] sledgemount: did you not see "openvpn" ? [19:57] there are many [19:57] try them, see what you like [19:58] sledgemount: it'll never be easy to run your own, services exist out there that you can pay/ sign up to - really depends what you're trying to achieve. [19:58] ikonia, chroot method. This one basically: http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd [19:58] OpenSorce: so you find a grub install fixes it, but each kernel update breaks it === charmander is now known as squirtle [19:59] ikonia, no even the grub install won't make the latest kernels boot. it just power cycles until you choose an older kernel [20:00] but it gets me back the grub menu instead of a prompt [20:01] I am having trouble putting Ubuntu on a USB [20:01] tell us what you tried and what software you used [20:01] then what went wrong [20:02] I'm going full fledged and calling it a bad download image. Happened to me. [20:02] I download vanilla ubuntu 14, I believe it was 14.04 64 bit === squirtle is now known as bulbasaur [20:02] I used unetbootin to put it on a usb, and unetbootin kept complaining that there was not enough room on the USB [20:02] John[Lisbeth]: can you answer the questions in full on a single line? === bulbasaur is now known as nchambers [20:03] ikonia, this is an older machine with a centrino core duo proc. Maybe it's like my old machine with the Transmeta Crusoe proc and simply can't run newer kernels... [20:03] how big is your flash drive? [20:03] 8 gb [20:03] the other one was 32 gb [20:03] btw Merry Christmas to all who observe it :-) [20:04] that's plenty of space for a standard ~1GB ubuntu ISO to go on, are you using Windows to prepare this? [20:04] Yes [20:04] John[Lisbeth], did you try formatting the usb drive first? [20:05] I tried right clicking and hitting format [20:05] John[Lisbeth], formatted with what file system? NTFS or Fat32? [20:05] I think it only gave the option fo vfat or ntfs [20:06] John[Lisbeth], which did you choose? [20:06] I did not choose ntfs [20:06] Nvm I chose fat32 [20:06] John[Lisbeth]: that approach won't help, i would suggest wiping the disk fully via Windows' command line utility, 'diskpart' [20:07] I have cygwin installed [20:07] with a few linux tools [20:07] i wouldn't consider that useful personally [20:07] John[Lisbeth], okay good. Unetbootin has failed me before the solution was to reformat the drive (not quick format) and rerun Unetbootin [20:07] native tools are just dandy [20:08] daftykins, which approach won't help? [20:09] Has anyone found any particular good setup (DE/WM, etc). to use with a tablet? I'm running on an x86 tablet currently running Ubuntu. I thought Unity would be more touch friendly based on its appearance. [20:10] Linuxerist, my wife's machine is a tablet/laptop with some customization it's run lxde quite well. [20:11] Linuxerist: #ubuntu-touch would be the place for the default [20:11] OpenSorce: This is not a convertible, but a tablet with a dock and a bluteooth keyboard. I want a way to use it well as just a tablet.. have been unsatisfied with keyboard options and support in Unity. Is LXDE better with gesture support and such? [20:12] I disable e-mail reports for unattended-upgrades on 12.04 LTS server but I still keep receiving those. I have //Unattended-Upgrade::Mail and //Unattended-Upgrade::MailOnlyOnError both commented out. There's no daemon process to restart/reload configuration. This server was also rebooted (for a ... [20:12] ... different reason) but unattended-upgrades still keeps generating e-mail reports every day. What can be wrong here? [20:12] daftykins: didn't work :( [20:12] daftykins: is that targed at ARM tablets? This tablet has an i5. [20:12] Linuxerist, no but's very customizable. She doesn't use gestures at all. Perhaps you'll want to try to channel that daftykins suggested :-) [20:13] Linuxerist: don't think so, topic should answer that [20:13] wuschLOR: mmm, i suppose the problem now is there are no logs to compare to. can you share "cat /proc/cmdline" ? [20:14] BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.16.0-57-generic root=/dev/mapper/kubuntu--vg-root ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 [20:14] OpenSorce: Gotcha. My wife has a convertible (Thinkpad X220) where she only uses the touchscreen for drawing and artwork. But I need to be able to use the tablet well without a mouse. === Santa_Claus is now known as Agent_Isai === Agent_Isai is now known as Agent_NewYears [20:15] wuschLOR: try adding one of those boot params like "backlight=vendor" [20:15] (add it as a one time thing at boot to test) [20:15] Linuxerist, yeah the touch part I got working just fine. Not sure about gestures and such though. === syntacticNaCl_ is now known as syntacticNaCl [20:17] OpenSorce: older cpu should be fine [20:17] the fact that it drops to the grub prompt is more disturbing than the lack of boot [20:18] ikonia, it alternates. some failures drop me to grub> some to grub rescue> [20:18] OpenSorce: both are equally concerning [20:18] daftykins: can't add it - allways says the file has been changed [20:19] ikonia, I've done tests on the hdd and memory, not seeing any issue there and of course it runs fine on the older kernel [20:19] OpenSorce: the drop back to the grub prompt is before the kernel, so the kernel update maybe more the cause, rather than the problem [20:20] OpenSorce: do the initrd's for the new kernels exist ? [20:20] wuschLOR: no you edit /etc/default/grub then run "sudo update-grub" - but that's a *permanent* change, you can just try once on boot first by editing GRUB once [20:20] ikonia, yes. Well after the failed update they do. After I get the grub menu back I generally purge them and try again. [20:21] OpenSorce: I don't think your problem is the actual kernel, [20:21] ikonia, what are you thinking it is? [20:22] OpenSorce: I'm not sure, but getting the grub prompt is before the kenrel, so something is wrong "there" [20:22] eg: updating the grub application to look at the wrong config file, the missing pre-boot initrd something like that [20:23] daftykins: so just put backlight=vendor in there update and restart ? right ?

[20:29] SourceSlayer: depends if there is an android app that will listen for audio on USB [20:30] SourceSlayer: so hear your computers' audio from headphones plugged into your phone?

[20:35] daftykins: no changes === santa4631 is now known as abra0 [20:37] SourceSlayer: if you're listening to files that are on your pc, probably easier to setup openssh-server and use an app to access/mount the sftp on your phone.

[20:59] if all the current mirrors use it plus every user we'll all max connection [20:59] aotea, i'm on intel [20:59] Maybe just something with the 15.10 version then, I haven't been able to fully pinpoint my issue, Caleb-- [21:00] Caleb--: boot an older kernel and see if it's fine? [21:00] let me rephrase any devs keen to help i have funds [21:01] daftykins, that's a good idea [21:01] will older kernels be available in the boot menu? [21:01] yep if you haven't run autoremove [21:02] i have :/ [21:02] Caleb--: confirm you have some on with "dpkg -l | grep linux-" [21:02] Caleb--: ok, what've you got now? (uname -r) [21:03] the dpkg command lists a few kernels [21:03] Caleb--: do they have "ii" beside though?

The Result is a .dvd file. does this file work in a regular DVD player or do I have to convert the file into a different format. because I want to burn this Video File to a blank DVD. ? like I said it's a .dvd format or should I convert it into an mpeg2 format? thanks in advance [21:10] what distribution of linux do you run? [21:10] ciao [21:11] hello world! [21:11] hello root123id! [21:11] bicket_: what distribution of linux you run? [21:12] Mendon: Ubuntu [21:12] what desktop enviroment? kde? unity? xfice? [21:12] Is there a way to pipe stdout to the clipboard? [21:13] I need to know if this is the right Format [21:13] asad_: xsel [21:13] command | xsel [21:13] Mendon: This is not important to my question [21:13] ok [21:13] bicket_: i've never heard of a .dvd , read up on the software and check what it's outputting. [21:13] EriC^^, oh thanks. there's no built in way though? [21:13] asad_: and command | xsel -b [21:13] I never have either myself [21:14] ( for the ctrl+shift+v clipboard ) [21:14] Mendon: run "file filename.dvd" on it [21:15] bicket_: can you convert it to mpeg2 or can't you? [21:15] daftykins: It is playing in VLC like a regular Video File. But I'm not sure if it will in a DVD player. Does somebody uses Openshot and has more information? daftykins: would you convert the file into mpeg2 or just burn the .dvd file? [21:15] mpeg2 is a CODEC not a file type, so the angle is moot right now. [21:15] EriC^^, Okay so I've made an alias. alias copy='xsel -ib' ... [21:15] Mendon: sorry i got myself confused on who was asking :P [21:16] Mendon: I didn't try to convert it yet [21:16] I noticed! that's fine, daftkins [21:16] bicket_: run "file" on the .dvd file [21:16] bicket_: you might want to try [21:16] daftykins: I didn't understand what you mean [21:17] bicket_: open a terminal, run "file /path/to/file.dvd" [21:17] daftykins: ok do you want the output? [21:17] daftykins: he's probabley scared of gett ing a terminal illness :) [21:17] yeah via http://paste.ubuntu.com [21:17] Mendon: :D [21:17] that was good! [21:18] i have done anything to set ANDROID_HOME but it doesnt set please help me [21:18] where's the best place to place aliases? .bashrc? [21:19] am i the only one who OneGOD is spamming? [21:19] Iresf: try ##android [21:19] daftykins: it says "MPEG sequence, v2, program multiplex" so it seems to be an mpeg2 file. why does it say .dvd [21:20] just because it s a mpeg sequense don't mean its an mpeg file [21:20] bicket_: read the manual for the software to find out? :) [21:20] yeah .VOB which is standard for DVD, is a container format - so likely that file won't work [21:20] daftykins: so you don't know eiter .. :/ [21:20] daftykins: very manual way of doing it [21:21] bicket_: i'm not willing to look it up for you, this is your task. [21:21] daftykins: not everyone likes manual labor [21:21] Is there a way to fix http://imgur.com/a08n9gc horrible fonts in 9/10 ubuntu apps ? [21:21] Mendon: are you trying to say that i should be looking it up for this user? good luck with that :) [21:21] Is it ok to use ppas like sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa and install jdk8 in ubuntu lts 14.04? [21:21] daftykins: I will. I will probably end up converting it again. but thank you for the reply anyway [21:21] bicket_: i'd be willing to bet the software has options [21:21] what harm can a ppa like that give? [21:22] daftykins: didn't say you liked manual labor either! :) [21:22] Voyage: PPA's safety is at your own discretion [21:22] !ppa [21:22] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [21:22] daftykins: like I said I used Openshot and I chose the DVD Format as output [21:22] yeah so look into other options [21:22] like i said :) [21:22] It's like something is making text super crisp and some fonts just don't display right. Look at the breacrums bar super thin font, or the namespace keyword in code editor. [21:23] oh, i guess bicket_ got a terminal illnes. "lost terminal" [21:23] When is openjdk8 most likely to be supported in lts 14.04? [21:23] not soon [21:23] i have done anything to set ANDROID_HOME but it doesnt set please help me [21:23] daftykins, who owns ppa:openjdk-r/ppa and how can I know if its trust worthy? [21:23] daftykins, why not? [21:24] Iresf: this is ubuntu channel [21:24] Voyage: versions only tend to change with new releases [21:25] ok [21:25] daftykins, who owns ppa:openjdk-r/ppa and how can I know if its trust worthy? [21:26] you already asked that [21:26] look it up. [21:26] ok [21:26] voyage, you were on yesterday! [21:26] (s)he's on daily asking the same things [21:26] Mendon, yesterday? [21:26] daftykins, like? [21:27] Yup! [21:27] daftykins, what did I asked same today? Mendon [21:27] I didnt asked about ppa yesterday [21:27] did I? [21:27] Don't remember exactly [21:27] Mendon, then why did you said 'ya" [21:27] had something to do with network though! [21:28] daftykins, you? [21:28] Voyage, remember i told U 2 change your nick so we would listen to you? [21:28] haha [21:28] You kept incessantly asking quesitons and finally someone listened to you [21:28] alright calm down folks. [21:28] ok [21:29] Mendon, I heard you the first time. Let me rephrase, I heard your suggestion the first time. [21:29] voyage, what do you mean [21:29] * Voyage people are unprofessional when they pass personal comments on behaviour [21:29] Mendon, #english? [21:29] Voyage: I asked you to stop this yesterday - please stop [21:29] Voyage: focus on your problems only [21:30] voyage: let's join #ubuntu-offtopic [21:30] lets not [21:30] he's gone [21:34] selam [21:34] raspberry pi 2 ile baglanmaktayim [21:34] [21:35] Ive got a drive that cant hold a filesystem. Passes badblocks though, and is seeming to run fine in windows. Is it possible that this drive is good? [21:37] ahmet: english only [21:37] okay [21:39] passed chkdsk in windows as well (no its not in an external enclosure this time) loses its formatting everytime in lubuntu 15.10 though [21:39] MWM: have you spoken of this one before? [21:39] MwM: did you reformat? [21:40] the 're' prefix is redundant === Mendon is now known as afghan [21:40] daftykins: no this is yet a different problem [21:40] Happy whatever everybody cerebrates [21:40] MWM: i'm convinced you are setting up a small IT support company and are having us consult for free [21:40] Mendon: wiped it down with every linux utility I could drag out of google and gave it a thourog reformat [21:41] ok [21:41] "loses its' formatting" means what? [21:41] what zebi [21:41] daftykins: Im sure you are joking but just in case you arent: I bought a set of used drives for NAS is all. had problems with the big ones in the external [21:42] MWM: used? so you don't care about the data you'll put on it? :S [21:42] "loses" means I format to ext4 and it completes but has an error with mounting on the next reboot, and has no formatting [21:42] what is zebi [21:43] what is zebi [21:43] what is zebi [21:43] what is zebi [21:43] haydro: get lost [21:43] Not sure I'd want to put used spinning drives in my NAS [21:43] MwM: do you do complete format or do you do do only surface (quick) format? [21:43] daftykins: its a home system, cost was more important than integrity, plus you can see Im new to this stuff so I cant see spending a mint [21:43] are there any programs for view inside of linux disk image on windows [21:43] ridiculous dude, spend little and you'll have more problems and end up spending more to fix the issues that will come up [21:43] MWM: new drives don't cost a "mint" [21:44] daftykins are you morocco [21:44] there is such a syberlink utility, amhet [21:44] what is zebi [21:44] i mean cyberlink [21:44] haydro: you're ignored now. [21:44] afghan: however gparted and kde partition manager do it [21:44] r [21:44] what [21:44] they don't do deap format [21:44] hmm [21:45] daftykins whay???????? [21:45] haydro [21:45] storage is at an all time low as far as I can tell, but I still opted for the used drives. I think I might get new ones for the next go around though :) [21:45] haydro, yOUR ANONNOYING [21:46] sorry but what zebi [21:46] morocan everywhere [21:46] what do you mean, haydro [21:46] hhhhhh [21:46] afghan: whatabout sgdisk ? does it do a deep format? I tried that one as well [21:46] i like you man [21:46] maen [21:46] 'deep format' is mumbo jumbo. [21:46] MWM: spinning drives, specifically ones that have been used in storage devices in the past, tend to have a shorter lifespan [21:46] zed thank you [21:46] Hi [21:47] hi [21:47] hi [21:47] sup [21:47] su[ [21:47] haydro kolna mgharba [21:47] zed wafi a3xiri [21:47] well deep format is done at the factory, but there is a long version that seems to work better.... but I nly know how to do it in windows [21:47] fine 3ayex nta [21:47] 3aych ffes [21:47] onta [21:48] larache [21:48] hhhhh [21:48] zed_ and haydro, get out of here [21:48] !ops [21:48] Help!

For instance when I installed to a blank HDD I had 3 partitions created. I know one was swap [21:50] MWM: partition format with lvm ? [21:51] ikonia: you see? foggy. when I did a fresh install, there were 3 partitions created. 1 swap and the others 2 were labled LVM [21:51] * tgm4883 doesn't use LVM [21:51] MWM: what's the problem though ? [21:52] ikonia: I was just discussing why I had chosen not to use a small SSD for my OS : because I was foggy on how the install actually worked or how much space I would need [21:52] If you don't know how to use LVM, I wouldn't recommend using it. [21:52] ikonia: my problem lies with a HDD that willl not seem to stay formatted no matter what tools I use [21:53] I chose to use LVM because I read that it was "easier to resize partitions and take snapshots" or some such [21:54] phunysanta: is it possible to remove LVM without a complete reinstallation? [21:54] if you don't know why you would need it, I wouldn't recommend using it either. [21:54] it's possible, but would involve knowing how lvm works, and using a livecd/liveusb [21:55] phunysanta: from what I read of it it seems I would need it to expand the size of my OS partition and to take snapshots [21:56] but if it requires more knowledge than how to use a keyboard, I will save it for a different day :) [21:56] MWM: LVM got good intentions but adds a layer of issues. so its making a system more complex. [21:56] MWM: unfortunately I cannot dedicate the time required to walk you through that right now. Family over. But someone else is more than welcome. [21:56] Sorry 😞 [21:57] Doesn't LVM allow you to resize a filesystem that is online? [21:57] no worries phunysanta Ill just keep that in mind for my next install. thank you for the tip [21:59] trying to upgrade ubuntu 8.04 hardy to newer, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Hardy , changed those repos to old-releases.ubuntu.com since they are not working. on do-release-upgrade I get I get an error like: DistUpgradeMain.py:102: Warning: 'with' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6 [21:59] nerma: waste of time, clean install and migrate your data [21:59] nerma: you'd be much much better off installing 14.04 fresh [21:59] hello [22:00] nerma: you waited that long that 10.04 (the next LTS after 8.04) is EOL too. [22:00] i suggest a clean 12.04 or 14.04 install, too. not worth dealing with the issues that a 2times EOL LTS upgrade brings. [22:01] seriously, install fresh [22:01] Would have done a fresh install if it was my own box, trying to help out a friend and unsure if I'd like to setup his whole system since I dont know what he runs or his config [22:01] So no easy way to upgrade? [22:01] nerma: said friend doesn't have this thing online right? [22:02] we're telling you it'd be a waste of time [22:02] set up a new one, then copy over the data [22:02] Just because you reinstall, doesn't mean you have to wipe his home directory [22:02] nerma: and it might cause more problems than a fresh install [22:02] daftykins: it's been offline for years I believe [22:02] good stuff! [22:03] I have a little issue: I'm dualbooting Ubuntu and Windows on my work laptop, but I wasn't the one who set it up and now I'd need to log in to Win, but they forgot to make me a user account [22:04] trixi that's for ##windows [22:04] do you guys know if there's a way to make a user account from Ubuntu? [22:04] http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/ [22:04] or something like that [22:05] trixi you want a remote login to windows? [22:05] Thanks Ben64 , daftykins. Will try to convince him to do a clean install [22:06] nerma: is it a physical box run from home, do you know? [22:06] yes, it is [22:06] ah, yeah backup and nuke time [22:06] should be easy depending on what it does [22:07] Think he's been using it as a files, vpn and http server [22:07] MonkeyDust, actually I think I'm gonna do it another way so don't mind me please [22:08] So, I have a machine that has 3 primary partions already, and I want to install ubuntu. How do I make it install inside of an extended partition? [22:08] thank you, bye [22:08] Will see if I can figure out how to backup most of his files and do a clean setup for him. [22:08] Thanks [22:08] OneM_Industries: just make the partitions it needs inside the extneded partition [22:09] Ok, so an EXT4 partition inside that partition? [22:09] OneM_Industries: just treat anything inside the extened partition the same as you would a primary partition [22:09] Ok, [22:12] So, if I made a linux-swap partition before installing ubuntu, would it recognize and use it? [22:14] OneM_Industries: it will use it if you tell it to [22:14] Ok. [22:23] Anyone familiar with the application OpenNote from FoxUSA on github ? [22:24] no [22:24] no [22:24] any other recommendation you may have equivalent to it ? [22:25] what does it do? [22:25] I installed enlightenment desktop but didn't like it, how can I get rid of it [22:26] SebastianTCL how did you install it? [22:26] on top of what distro? [22:27] SebastianTCL: remove enlightenment and use another desktop you like better [22:27] I am already using calm window manager and that works [22:27] what I need to know is how to completely remove enlightenment from the terminal [22:27] remove the packages [22:27] SebastianTCL: depends a bit on how you installed it [22:27] SebastianTCL what command di you use to install it [22:28] did* [22:28] I think i used lubuntu software center but I can't remember [22:28] it will be from the E20 PPA [22:28] for some reason that has had a marketing push recently [22:28] SebastianTCL ok, then use the software center to delete it [22:28] ikonia: I think that's due to E20 being recently released, and an update from E17 [22:28] TJ-: probably [22:29] wait wait wait [22:29] is there a way to check a log to answer your question better? [22:30] SebastianTCL: search for it in the software center and you'll see if its installed that way or not [22:30] SebastianTCL: package manager logs are under /var/log/apt/ (older logs are gzip-compressed) [22:31] ok [22:31] thanks guys [22:37] Hey, is there a way to install Ubuntu on a VHDX from Windows 10?

Giving permission is something I'm not familiar with and could very well have not done [23:36] DrinkMe: i'm thirsty (: [23:38] DrinkMe: which config file are you using? [23:39] keep in mind mpd can't access your home dir files [23:40] Eric^^ Currently looking at .mpd/mpd.conf. I believe everything is directed properly. How do I give mpd access? === fdskeifd is now known as HatesChu [23:43] DrinkMe: i think it searches for ~/mpd/mpd.conf [23:43] try renaming it to ~/.mpdconf [23:44] i think it's supposed to look for ~/.config/mpd/mpd.conf [23:44] try using ~/.mpdconf , the man page says that it also looks there [23:47] Jesus. I feel like a dick. [23:47] Hit "u" to update database there's my music [23:48] Eric^^: Thank you for your assistance and patience in this.
