[00:00] it don't like it when things take 3 tries :| [00:00] Thats becuse your using a windows gui to write the iso to a usb stick! LOL! j/k [00:00] neredsenvy: could have just checked the md5sum [00:00] *I don't [00:01] http://jackaudio.org/faq/linux_rt_config.html -- That might do it, I forget though. === ludza1 is now known as ludza [00:03] evening all [00:06] hey [00:07] /join #hardware [00:21] hello all [00:21] hello [00:22] hello there [00:22] I have a MacBook Pro 2012 with a dead hard drive, I want to install ubuntu on a usb stick and run (not live) off of it [00:22] anyone know of a how to I could follow [00:22] ? [00:22] can someone explain FQDNs and hostnames to me? say I have example.com pointing at my server, what would my FQDN be and what would my hostname be? [00:23] hello [00:23] Oh yes, I've just done that with a 128 USB 3.0 thumb drive.\ [00:24] skylake: how did you accomplish such a feat? [00:24] I entered live boot from a 8gb ubuntu flash, then just installed to the 128 flash and thats what I run off now. [00:24] coded1: Does the MacBook have another hard drive? [00:24] slidinghorn: apparently not [00:25] it's my friends and it was dropped [00:25] coded1: Then all you can do is try using the USB as a persistent install [00:25] !usb | coded1 [00:25] coded1: 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 [00:25] can I just take a "regular" copy of 15.10 and install it on the mac book pro? [00:26] or does something have to be done with it first? [00:26] coded1: If the HDD is dead, you can't install to it. You'll simply be using the USB instead [00:27] slidinghorn: what I plan to do is use unetbootin to take an image of 15.10 to a 4gb usb flash drive and boot the mac book [00:27] then install the copy to a faster 16gb usb flash drive [00:28] coded1: why don't you just start with the faster drive & skip the first step? === Monthrect is now known as Piper-Off [00:28] coded1: if you have 2 usb's you could install ubuntu as usual to the second usb [00:29] EriC^^: that's what I figured [00:29] a full install [00:30] the only thing I'm unsure of is if ubuntu 15.10 has the macbook pro drivers "baked in" [00:30] boot a live usb of it and test it [00:31] then install to the other usb === it is now known as Guest74974 [00:36] test [00:40] Hello. Do you agree that 9/11 was the funniest thing to ever happen or was that San Bernardino? Also, Windows forever! [00:41] Anyone there? [00:42] Guess he won't be back. === david___1 is now known as DjD [00:48] anyone actually in here? [00:48] Some hundreds of people, yes. [00:49] excellent bekks thanks for the confirmation [00:49] DjD: Look at "/names". [00:49] is it possible to remove landscape ? [00:50] goddard: Sure, just uninstall it [00:50] DjD: To get a rise, one must ask an intelligent question in respect to ubuntu . [00:51] where is "ubuntu" most used in africa ? [00:51] oh might be the wrong ubuntu nevermind :p [00:51] the demographic of users is not relevant to OS support [00:51] right you are ;) [00:52] ah I knew I wasn't putting enough info in my joke, ubuntu is an african word [00:53] One of the actual shames of linux networking is nfs4, no doubt. I've suffered what could be considered as a "via crucis" trying to get to work nfs4 to end up switching back to nfs3, which is not so obvious to get in ubuntu 15.10, as the default settings are nfs4 oriented. [00:53] anabain: setting up nfsv3 is done in less than a minute. [00:53] anabain: so whats the actual issue? [00:54] does the ubuntu os use mysql for necessary services? is it safe to remove? [00:54] Incredible. It would be better to say: don't use nfs4 without kerberos. Otherwise, it won't work. [00:54] nfsv4 works fine without kerberos. [00:54] is there a problem or just complaining ? [00:54] goddard: It is safe to remove it for OS functionality. [00:54] gna. [00:54] unlucky [00:54] guest52930: It is safe to remove it for OS functionality. [00:55] no, bekks , it doesn't: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/966734 [00:55] Launchpad bug 966734 in nfs-utils (Ubuntu) "nfs4+idmap does not map uids correctly when using AUTH_SYS" [Medium,Triaged] [00:55] is it used for anything other than cloud hosting? [00:55] anabain: which is a specific mapping issue, not "nfsv4 is unusable without kerberos". [00:55] guest52930: Yes, for various things. [00:56] so if i remove mysql what functionality would i lose? [00:56] bekks, well, it's seriously limited, let's put it that way [00:56] guest52930: the functionality of the database service provided by mysql. [00:56] guest52930: it does not come as default, so your question is very confusing. [00:57] how does the os use the database functionality? [00:57] oh i thought it did [00:57] guest52930: it doesnt, as I already told you. [00:57] never mind [00:57] guest52930: various applications use mysql as a database backend, the OS doesnt. [00:58] hey, I read that I had to remove unity-shopping-lens to stop canonical from spying on me, but I don't have the package, is it named different now because the article was from 2012 [00:58] Aaaaand-its-gone: canonical doesnt spy you at all. [00:59] Aaaaand-its-gone: you read wrong and you've been fed nonsense information [00:59] ok... but it does send my search entries to third parties and stores my ip address [00:59] so I want to prevent that [00:59] Aaaaand-its-gone: no it doesn't [00:59] Aaaaand-its-gone: canonical doesnt store your IP at all. [00:59] I read it in their tos [00:59] Aaaaand-its-gone: you've been told nonsense [00:59] turn the real issue off in system settings -> privacy :) [00:59] Aaaaand-its-gone: link us the ToS where you read´that. [01:00] daftykins: but then there would be nothing to soap box about [01:00] too true [01:00] Anyone interested in helping with audio tonight?

[01:02] you're saying it's not true? [01:02] Aaaaand-its-gone: turn it off as described [01:02] daftykins: I already did that thanks, but isn't their a way to just remove the application [01:02] Aaaaand-its-gone: A disabled app isnt used. [01:02] there's no need - and you're just being dramatic and spreading FUD really. [01:02] Aaaaand-its-gone: it's stored but not linked to "you" [01:02] Aaaaand-its-gone: it's not different than say a "row id" [01:03] so they are not storing "your IP" they are storing IP detials of a search [01:03] there is no way to link that to you [01:03] maybe not canonical, but governments can [01:04] Aaaaand-its-gone: do they have acces to this data ? [01:04] you know what - this is a pointless discussion [01:04] ikonia: they will give it when law requires, it's in their TOS [01:04] disable it if you don't want it [01:04] use it if you see benifit [01:04] Aaaaand-its-gone: law requires [01:04] !pm | nagromlt [01:04] nagromlt: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice.

Just stopped working after upgrade from 15.04 to 15.10 anyone have any ideas? [01:07] i'd boot and test a 15.10 live session from USB to rule out the upgrade process having a hand in that issue [01:08] run a few commands in the live session to compare, if it's alright [01:09] bekks, for example, if you want to share /media folders between two ubuntu boxes, how come are you achieving that with nfs4? /home dirs, as long as they are the same UID/GID, are fine, but /media has root permissions, so...? === step21_ is now known as step21 [01:10] anabain: So whats the point now? You already linked the bug report. [01:10] HEY Y'ALL! [01:11] hey [01:11] I FANTASIZE ABOUT MARK SHUTTLEWORTH ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT [01:11] someone from brazil [01:11] ?

Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigada. [01:12] bekks, the point is nothing but warn whoever wants to listen to: do not use nfs4 without kerberos unless you really need it, KISS, which in that case means stick to nfs3 [01:13] anabain: do you think telling an IRC channel for 10 seconds will actually warn anyone ? [01:13] and you can use it fine without kerberos [01:14] you've just picked a very specific situation [01:14] perhaps you find my observations annoying or irrelevant, but at least some people, including you, can warn other people. [01:14] why would I warn anyone ? [01:14] there is nothing to warn [01:15] i have been warned. [01:15] ikonia, which is one that many home users trying to share their boxes will face [01:15] no they won't [01:15] so perhaps it's not so specific [01:15] it's very specific [01:16] hence why you don't see people in the channel saying "I'm trying to do this, and it's not working" [01:16] :( [01:16] why not? what's extraordinary about sharing /media dirs? [01:17] anabain: if it was a common issue, you'd see people in here all time [01:17] I've never seen it referenced once [01:17] ikonia, perhaps they do it through samba and then they don't bother with nfs [01:18] it's a pretty edge case situation [01:18] but valid [01:18] but nfs performs faster [01:18] that's a pretty outdated myth [01:25] daftykins, is this outdated (maybe it is, I really don't know)? http://wdtvforum.com/main/index.php?PHPSESSID=puckr91h80i51ui693lclffup4&topic=5393.msg41891#msg41891 [01:25] anabain: sorry i don't have any interest in your query [01:26] anabain: "March 19, 2010", I'd say so.

Particularly so when things do not go as expected . [01:30] I have a troubleshooting question regarding Xubuntu 14.04 I cannot get Ctrl + Shift + U to make a small u appear for me to type unicode characters. what configuration do i need? [01:30] you mean, like alt+1, right? [01:31] Also, which cli irc do you use? === truexfan81_ is now known as truexfan81 [01:38] i have a small vps, 1 cpu core, 1 gb ram, 20gb hdd, what ubuntu architecture should i use? [01:38] 32 vs 64 bit [01:38] i [01:38] WOAH [01:38] tornado-fan: 64 unless you have any reason to use 32 [01:39] I have 32 bit hardware [01:39] but i heard 64bit uses more cpu, ram, and hdd [01:39] true? [01:40] not sure. But I can think of more things you can't do with 32 than you can't with 64. [01:40] technically true. but you will not feel that as limiting as much as 32bit is limiting [01:41] ok thanks [01:41] 63bit then [01:41] i wish you a happy new year, and bye === TSS is now known as TheSilverSentine [01:49] hello, does Adobe Premiere work on Linux? is there anywhere to find out?

[01:52] for creative software it would be a waste of time [01:53] :( i really hate windows, but my friend i'm helping , really wants the best video editor [01:53] anyone got a sec to help with pptpd? [01:55] So is Playonlinux, the same compatibilty as WINE? [01:55] its just like a frontend? [01:56] why not use a linux video editor [01:57] k1l_: which one is as good as Adobe Premiere? that one is world class, it is used by professional photographers === skylake is now known as skylake00 [01:58] k1l_: what is the best video editor for linux? [01:58] openshot or kdenlive [01:58] this is for a friend, i am at his house right now, he just bought a nice Intel i7-6700 [01:58] or ask in #ubuntustudio since they are more focused on audio, photo and video [02:00] somethings both weird and wrong, i installed 15.10 and now every time I log in I have to run alsamixer to unmute it and if i run vlc video with the browser open x crashes, also the mic sounds horrible with noise on cheese video and skype [02:00] k1l_: thx [02:03] if i run export $PS1="xyz" will that save it permanently for all terminal emulators accessing bash command? or did i get the symbols wrong? === Guest81914 is now known as sUbMuNdO [02:09] k1l_: are adobe Premiere files compatible with Kdenlive or OPenshot? [02:10] proprietary expensive software and open source, doubt it [02:10] Anyone running 15.04 vanilla on a laptop and have a second to verify a bug/vulnerability? === step21 is now known as step21_ [02:12] nobody wants to say "yes, me" - just provide the detail up front so they can reply if they can, dokument. [02:13] Thanks. I was wrong anyway. Ubuntu 5.10. [02:13] wrong again! 15.10 :) [02:13] Open a terminal window and make sure it is selected/active. Then close your laptop lid to suspend your laptop. Open the laptop and immediately start typing lots of random letters. [02:13] Once login screen comes up, login then see if anything typed in the terminal window [02:14] I am able to enter/run commands in the terminal window without having to login [02:14] as long as a terminal window was active when going to sleep [02:15] that doesn't sound good [02:15] That's what I thought [02:16] very unlikely to be taken advantage of though :D [02:16] I suppose anyone can try it i suppose [02:16] Hi all, I got a question. I run Ubuntu 15.04 with gnome flashback (gnome 2 look, I think its metacity). But when running some apps on fullscreen, i.e. totem, VLC player, some games, and got some notification, for example from Skype, Pidgin, wifi..., the screen flickers. [02:17] daftykins, perhaps but the same vuln may allow hotkeys to be pressed meaning any command run as that user. Yes it requires physical access but still bad [02:18] what kind of hotkey? i mean no result can be viewed [02:18] hotkey to open a terminal and execute a command [02:18] Unless you count formatting a system as "viewing" [02:18] but that'd require sudo. [02:19] which'd trip up at password entry [02:20] unless they have a poorly configured system. Unlikely I know but we all know they exist. or a privileged terminal was left open [02:20] be a good test to see if sudo still times out [02:20] yeah all those are a stretch :) [02:20] but sure, file it [02:21] I just want to get confirmation that the same issue occurs on someone else's system before trying to submit a bug report or something [02:21] can't help you there, don't use it. [02:22] * tgm4883 reads backlog [02:23] dokument: do you have proprietary graphics drivers installed? [02:24] tgm4883, no. Just verified [02:24] interesting [02:24] dokument: so what do I need to do? [02:24] exit [02:25] I have a troubleshooting question regarding Xubuntu 14.04 I cannot get Ctrl + Shift + U to make a small u appear for me to type unicode characters. what configuration do i need? [02:25] Make a terminal window active/focused. Put the comptuer to sleep. Wait a second. Wake the computer and immediately start typing. Login at the prompt. see if any characters appear inthe terminal window [02:27] dokument: well apparently my laptop is 15.04 and i can't reproduce it [02:27] which reminds me that I need to upgrade [02:28] Matt_symes on the forums tried it with 16.04 using light locker and could not replicate it [02:28] tgm4883, thanks that is good to know [02:28] I'm upgrading to 15.10 now, but it will be some time [02:29] far too early days for a comment on xenial to be relevant, imo [02:30] my bootable usb created with unebootin is not booting, what could I be missing [02:30] checked md5 looks good [02:30] sw0rdfish any error messages or just nothing? are you sure you are booting from the thumbdrive and not something else [02:31] ignore it and use 'dd' to put the ISO onto the flash drive device direct instead [02:32] hey guys [02:33] hi [02:36] hello. I get this error when running "wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf": https://ptpb.pw/tmhf to find the configuration for my usb connected/tethered cell phone and was wondering how to set up wvdial, my phone, or whatever to get wvdial to pickup my phone === owl0 is now known as ___owl0 [02:42] what is a good daemon to run that monitors cpu usage? [02:44] I'm trying to get dm-crypt to load a key from a cifs server at boot. I think it's hanging because it's trying before the share is mounted. Is there a way I can ensure mounting of the share before attempting to retreive the key? [02:46] Don't understand what k= n >>c does in following code : http://pastebin.com/RDpwHLyS [02:47] RNeville, it's a bitwise operation that shifts the bits. [02:47] RNeville, looks like a decimal to binary converter to me. [02:48] oh [02:48] dokument i think it could be something that has to do with uefi or whatever [02:48] have to be changed in bios maybe [02:49] that's highly unlikely [02:50] devinmcelheran, what does line 16 in my link evaluate to , pls? [02:50] oh sorry, different issue. [02:50] its an old laptop [02:51] sorry devinmcelheran , posting in wrong channel [02:51] so sorry :( [02:51] RNeville, it's binary ANDing. 1 & 1 = 1, 0 & 1 = 0, 1 & 0 = 0, 0 & 0 = 0. Both must be 1 for the outcome to be true. The result is that it compares each binary digit to 1 and if it's a 1, it prints a 1. [02:51] sw0rdfish what makes you think that it is uefi related? [02:52] RNeville, no worries. [02:52] RNeville, you might want to try the C channel, I've found loads of help there. And if you haven't started using a book, grab one online, there's some freely avilable ones, or try C Primer Plus, that's what got me started. === ludza1 is now known as ludza [02:59] thx, again devinmcelheran [03:00] RNeville, not a problem.

[03:41] <_salami_> no first time setting this up [03:42] LTS might make more sense [03:43] could be they don't like being in the slots as they are [03:43] try an "lspci -vvn | pastebinit" [03:44] <_salami_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14255255/ [03:45] <_salami_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14255273/ ran in sudo [03:46] _salami_: re-run with "lspci -vv" also ?

[03:50] hello world [03:51] _salami_: hmm nope mystery to me, but i'm not sure that board likes the idea of all 4 in... i'd try from a live session to confirm (ideally of 14.04.3) - also if you updated that BIOS recently, be sure to load defaults again in case - and finally, try removing the last one - as apparently 3 are meant for graphics in crossfire configs then the fourth is only meant to run at 4x (though should work fine) [03:53] hey... is it normal that the screen resolution looks weird in the login screen? [03:53] when I login everything looks normal [03:53] I see weird edges etc in the login screen [03:54] I have a 23,6 inch monitor [03:54] I am using a 4k monitor how do I make the icons bigger on ubuntu [03:54] lazy8: click system settings -> monitors -> change the scale [03:55] <_salami_> will try, thanks for ur time dude [03:55] the login screen's background looks all messed up [03:55] Can anyone help? I need to install a package to an installation I can't boot. Anyone know how to do that from live USB key? [03:57] yes, chroot the install. [03:57] usb stick? [03:58] yes, usb stick. so two commands? one for chroot and one for apt-get install ? [03:58] Is 16gb good enough for ubuntu [03:59] lazy8: tonnes.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [04:35] nicomachus: what was that for? [04:35] minitrue: I just came back to the screen and had to scroll back wayyy too far to find actual support chat. Keep it on-topic here. [04:37] any Python also works well for web, right? [04:37] ilhami: ask in #python [04:38] ooops. why did I ask here? that was an accident lol [04:38] sorry! [04:39] One other question if anyone can help. How can I get "dmraid -ay" to run as part of the grub config? Without it I get the initramfs prompt and have to run it manually. [04:40] GoChargers: add it to /etc/default/grub after "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=", then sudo update-grub [04:41] nicomachus: GoChargers I don't think that'll work, it's not a kernel command-line option [04:42] GoChargers: is the issue that the Linux root file-system isn't ready, and is on a fake-raid device managed by dmraid ? [04:43] Fakeraid managed by dmraid, yes. If I type "dmraid -ay" into the initramfs prompt first, the partitions are activated and booting can continue. [04:43] This post says it can be done, but they don't say how: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2090554 [04:45] GoChargers: OK, that's not a GRUB issue. It's an update-initramfs issue. the 'dmraid' package installs a hook script and initrd.img script, under /usr/share/initramfs-tools/{hooks,scripts}/ and those should be installed in the initrd.img if the root file-system is on a dmraid-managed device. [04:46] GoChargers: so, the first thing I'd do is check whether those files are included using "lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r) | grep dmraid" === DK__ is now known as DonKee [04:47] TJ: Thanks for the help. That command returned: [04:48] scripts/local-top/dmraid [04:48] sbin/dmraid-activate [04:48] sbin/dmraid [04:48] lib/udev/rules.d/97-dmraid.rules [04:48] lib/libdmraid.so.I.0.0.rc16 [04:48] and that's it. [04:49] GoChargers: that's all good. So, the next question is this "why doesn't the device get activated?" [04:49] GoChargers: the obvious answer is: "the udev rule doesn't match the device for some reason" [04:49] Chargers fucking suck... [04:50] !language | gambl0re [04:50] gambl0re: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [04:50] TJ: hmmm... So perhaps it's got the wrong name or something? [04:50] im just speaking the truth... [04:50] GoChargers: there was a recent change where some fake RAID support got taken over by mdadm. That might be involved here. [04:51] gambl0re: and its offtopic [04:51] gambl0re: This channel is for Ubuntu support only, and doesn't accept swearing. Please follow our channel guidelines or find a different channel. [04:51] GoChargers: I only just came in so missed anything you reported earlier; which Ubuntu release is it? [04:52] damn that 4-11 record looking pretty sexy... [04:52] Newest - Xubuntu 15.10. Fresh install. I had to muck around a bit to get the installer to recognize the RAID array at all, and seemed to have success with dmraid. I'm willing to go back and start over with mdadm but I'd rather not at this point. [04:52] gambl0re: Please join #ubuntu-ops if you wish to discuss your ban. === nisstyre_ is now known as nisstyre === stareyes_ is now known as stareyes [04:54] GoChargers: hopefully not; I'm just making sure I'm talking about the same versions you are :) Can you do "pastebinit <( cat /proc/cmdline; sudo lsblk -f )" === Jordan_U_ is now known as Jordan_U [04:56] TJ: No problem. http://paste.ubuntu.com/14256030/ [04:57] GoChargers: OK, Promise FastTrak, so the mdadm issue shouldn't be entering into this [04:59] GoChargers: what is the RAID geometry? mirror + stripe? [05:00] TJ: 4x 500GB drives in a RAID 10. So yes. [05:01] GoChargers: I'd best read the initramfs dmraid scripts to see how they cope with that [05:01] Thank you so much TJ. Really appreciate it. === akira is now known as Guest4501 [05:06] GoChargers: OK, I can see where there could be differences. The direct "dmraid -ay" works as you've proved. However, the script in local-top/ calls dmraid-activate, which is a shell script that does a lot of additional stuff identifying arrays, and it looks like it has only been coded to recognise RAID0, RAID1, or RAID5 [05:06] GoChargers: can you do "dmraid -i -si -ct /dev/mapper/pdc_daeacifccf" [05:07] hello :) [05:07] TJ: Output for that command is as follows: === athairus is now known as afkthairus [05:08] ERROR: pdc: wrong # of devices in RAID set "pdc_daeacifccf-1" [1/2] on dev/sdd [05:08] ERROR: pdc: wrong # of devices in RAID set "pdc_daeacifccf-1" [1/2] on dev/sdc [05:09] GoChargers: aha! [05:09] ERROR: pdc: wrong # of devices in RAID set "pdc_daeacifccf-0" [1/2] on dev/sdb [05:09] ERROR: pdc: wrong # of devices in RAID set "pdc_daeacifccf-0" [1/2] on dev/sda [05:09] ERROR: either the required RAID set not found or more options required [05:09] GoChargers: OK, can you try the command again but modify the target name, add "-0" first, then run it again with "-1" added [05:09] no raid sets and with names "/dev/mapper/pdc_daeacifccf" [05:09] GoChargers: also please use a !pastebin for more than 1 line of output [05:10] TJ [05:10] TJ: lol, okay, no problem. Before I do, I should maybe note that I think dmraid is treating my raid10 as two separate raid arrays (-0 and -1). Does this sound normal to you? [05:11] GoChargers: it could be that the way it is set-up, which is a mirror with a stripe inside it, is the problem [05:12] TJ: Running the new commands as suggested produces the same output. [05:12] GoChargers: if you examine the lsblk output you'll see the 'inner' device ID is "pdc_daeacifccf" but the there are 2 'wrapper' devices, "pdc_daeacifccf-0" and "pdc_daeacifccf-1" [05:13] GoChargers: OK, so that is the crux of the issue then; the tools cannot correctly identify types. How about "dmraid -i -si -ct /dev/sda" [05:15] TJ: That produces the same output too (except the last line is 'no raid sets and with names "/dev/sda" ') [05:15] GoChargers: OK, so it wasn't due to aiming the tool at the wrong device [05:18] GoChargers: the /sbin/dmraid-activate script relies on "dmraid -i -si -ct " to get the device type; if that fails the activation will fail [05:19] hi, any suggestions on an open source linux video editing software similar to after effects that can do digital glitch effects like this: https://vimeo.com/13119936 [05:19] TJ: Is it possible to add "dmraid -ay" to the script? Again, fresh install, nothing to lose here. [05:19] GoChargers: it looks like there's some metadata errors on the devices themselves [05:20] GoChargers: This is not good: "pdc: wrong # of devices in RAID set "pdc_daeacifccf-0" " [05:22] TJ: Should I perhaps try to go back to mdadm? [05:23] GoChargers: can you do "pastebinit <( sudo dmraid -vvv -ss pdc_daeacifccf )" [05:24] TJ: ERROR: invalid option argument for -s [05:25] changed it to /dev/mapper/pdc... but same result [05:25] GoChargers: no, you're fine, the issue is you've got a subset there (2 x RAID0 then RAID1 = RAID01 ) as far as I can tell [05:25] GoChargers: Oh, it's being picky! Instead of "-ss" do "-s -s" [05:26] TJ: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14256266/ [05:32] Sorry about that. Wifi got dropped. I'm back === de-facto_ is now known as de-facto [05:33] GoChargers: I think we can add support in that script; can you show me "pastebinit <( sudo dmraid -si pdc_daeacifccf)" [05:33] GoChargers: sorry, that should be "pastebinit <( sudo dmraid -s pdc_daeacifccf)" [05:34] TJ: That produced no output... although I got some if I separated the switches again (-s -i) [05:34] TJ: oh I see... one sec... [05:35] GoChargers: I gave you the wrong switch (-si means info on only Inactive sets, and the sets are all active) [05:36] TJ: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14256345/ [05:36] GoChargers: That confirms what I hypothosised earlier; the dmraid-activate script has no code for "type : raid10" [05:37] GoChargers: so, it activates the sub-sets "stripe" but not the "raid10" [05:38] GoChargers: do you know how to apply text diffs (patches) using the 'patch' tool? [05:39] TJ: Afraid not, but willing to learn. [05:45] GoChargers: I can see a possible solution but I need more accurate info on how that script fails === jyothis is now known as J-Away === J-Away is now known as Jyothis [05:48] TJ: Anything I can provide to assist? === Jyothis is now known as iii_J_iii === iii_J_iii is now known as Jyothis [05:57] GoChargers: Hmmm. I tried to create your scenario here but the 'dmraid' tool reports it cannot be used to create 'pdc' type arrays :( [05:58] TJ: That's odd. I know I had an "isw" type earlier, not sure how that got changed. [06:07] GoChargers: The original array was created by the system's BIOS RAID management wasn't it? [06:09] !java [06:09] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [06:13] hey [06:13] hi [06:13] whats up [06:14] got off my bed a few minutes ago ;) [06:14] oh [06:14] im in a chair lol [06:15] i just bought this raspberry pi [06:15] its pretty neat [06:15] TJ: correct [06:16] MiamiZeus, yes I want one too. [06:17] GoChargers: is the system going to be dual-booting with Windows or another OS? [06:19] TJ: No, not this one. I do have a second box with a RAID10 array that I intend to dual boot from. I'm talking to you on that box now. Installed it a couple days ago without issue. [06:22] I had my eth0 spontaneously change names to eth1 with only this in the logs: [ 3.888943] systemd-udevd[414]: renamed network interface eth0 to eth1 [06:22] any idea what causes this? === Jyothis is now known as zz_Jyothis === zz_Jyothis is now known as jyothis [06:25] GoChargers: In that case I'd dispense with the BIOS FakeRAID and use pure mdraid via mdadm. There's no advantage, and several disadvantages, if you use dmraid (no ability to repair broken arrays - requires Windows tools to repair) [06:26] GoChargers: the proprietary metadata is not completely understood on Linux, as you've seen with this, too === secret_ is now known as secret [06:27] TJ: I hate to be completely useless, but do you know what commands I'd have to run to set up mdadm while booted to the USB stick? [06:28] How can I upgrade IBUS to 1.5.11 in 14.04? [06:28] will I really have to compile it myself? [06:31] ilhami, otherwise you could change your ppas. But then your other progs wil be updated too. [06:31] found a solution. Never mind. [06:31] http://serverfault.com/questions/735189/ibus-1-5-11-on-ubuntu/735381#735381 [06:32] GoChargers: well, assuming you've deactivated and deleted the PDC array via BIOS management first so the disk are free of metadata, then it'd be "mdadm --create --raid-devices 4 --level raid10 --name MY_ARRAY ..." - I'd recommend consulting "man mdadm" and the 'create' mode options, in particular --layout [06:33] Hello, I want to erase my hdd and make it non recoverable. What is best way for it ? [06:33] TJ: Does that mean there'd be no RAID setup at all in BIOS? It would just see 4 plain ol' disks? [06:33] GoChargers: correct [06:33] I also want to use same hard disk with fresh ubuntu install [06:33] I found DBAN but i need suggestion. [06:34] GoChargers: GRUB knows about md RAID levels so that should be OK for booting from, but when using 'grub-install' you'd need to use it twice; on each of the 2 mirrors [06:35] hemangpatel: you could just fill the drive with all zeros. dd would be a command you could use. you'd have to boot to an install CD/DVD/USB stick [06:35] hemangpatel: zero the drive: http://askubuntu.com/questions/17640/how-can-i-securely-erase-a-hard-drive [06:35] GoChargers: you can use "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" I think it is, to have it install onto more than 1 device, which makes the task easier [06:36] hemangpatel: many ATA drives have a Secure Delete function accessible via 'hdparm' [06:37] TJ: Thank you so much for all the help. I think I'll boot up the installer again and see what I can do after fixing up the bios. [06:38] Hello. I have a question... How do I remove an application, which was pre-installed? [06:38] svetlin: "apt-get remove " [06:38] svetlin: or via the ubuntu software center [06:39] I clicked on Software & Updates, but there is no option to select an application to remove. [06:42] svetlin, look for the Ubuntu Software Center. It is not the same as Software & Updates [06:42] GoChargers, TJ- , lotuspsychje : thank you for suggestions. [06:43] i need to make sure it will be unrecoverable. and i can use it in future [06:44] I managed to remove it. Thank you very much! [06:44] hemangpatel: after you secure deleted it and installed ubuntu, tryout photorec to make sure no data gets back [06:44] svetlin, np. [06:44] !info testdisk | hemangpatel sudo photorec after install [06:44] hemangpatel sudo photorec after install: testdisk (source: testdisk): Partition scanner and disk recovery tool, and PhotoRec file recovery tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 6.14-3build2 (wily), package size 343 kB, installed size 1382 kB [06:45] lotuspsychje, thank you !! [06:47] hemangpatel: if photorec cant recover, data is really gone [06:48] ok [06:52] TJ: after removing the RAID options from bios, and booting usb stick, it looks like only one mirror was working - the other two disks are empty. So perhaps I'm on the right track now. [06:53] !yay | GoChargers [06:53] GoChargers: Glad you made it! :-) === Tronsha is now known as [UPA]Stefan [07:01] Array created, and recognized properly in gparted!

So, I'm running into an issue that i've pinpointed to php having issues. Long story short, I am able to visit a webmail login page for squirrelmail served through nginx no problem. However, upon signing in correctly, I am brought to a mostly blank webmail.php page. Only a single frame is visible, no other content is being shown. Nginx, dovecot, php5-fpm, and syslog all show nothing of use. Not sure what to look [07:09] to restore traditional nw interfaces names i have to add net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0 to kernel boot cmd [07:09] what else is there to make it work as it was on 15.04 ? [07:10] livcd: just curious; why do you care what the interfaces are named? [07:10] GoChargers: vagrant [07:12] livcd: Okay that's a pretty good reason. [07:13] GoChargers: vagrant apparently cares and until they fix their stuff i need to get around it [07:14] #f [07:14] livcd: I know nothing about vagrant and about renaming network interfaces... but if you're using it with virtualbox, can you perhaps open it up and change the network interface setup there? [07:19] GoChargers: i guess but i want to distribute a packer box with vagrantfile [07:22] livcd: again, not an expert (maybe someone else here can help?), but it seems to me that this issue might persist with anyone who obtains your distribution. If it's a simple settings change in Virtualbox, maybe you should just pass along instructions with it. === fengshaun_ is now known as fengshaun [07:26] What is the correct badram syntax?

[08:58] had to "manually" insert driver to my wifi adapter [08:58] You can get my Gift of Open Source Discs for Windows and Mac users here: http://knowthisyet.blogspot.com/p/gift-of.html [09:02] SeerKan, the easiest way is to configure sudo to not allow that so every command is logged via using sudo [09:03] BarnacleBob: the idea is for me to have some kind of variable that I can use is several scripts, for example if user1 does su to "prod" and runs a script from there I need a variable to make that script send a notification to external sources that user did a deploy for example [09:04] SeerKan, you can configure sudo to set env vars, but really if someone did sudo su -. that means su should clear the env like you logged in [09:05] really the best way is to have people use scripts like "sudo -u prod /path/to/deploy.sh" in which case the env is already preserved [09:05] BarnacleBob: can I tell sudo to only set 1 env var and not preserve all ? [09:05] so you can just check the home/user vars [09:06] SeerKan, sure, but like i said if they use su -. su clears the env [09:06] so nothing sudo or you can do about it [09:07] help me please!

Flatout2, a windows game, runs from the q4wine frontend where I set it to use a virtual desktop of 1024x768 while the game itself is set to use the true monitor resolution of 1680x1050. This configuration works. But q4wine creates a shortcut in start menu. that calls q4win-cli with a parameter set "start what's set up in the gui". With that one, the game starts but [15:03] the menu is working. As soon as I start a race, the 3D-view is black, speedometer and other instrumentation is there and framerate drops below 10fps.

[17:07] devsys: also you may check for a scip.conf file. it should have a respawn limit set somewhere [17:07] nicomachus: 3.13.0-71-generic [17:08] devsys: ok, do you have a scip.conf somewhere? [17:08] nicomachus: I did a service stop scip and it stopped the cpu use, checking the conf now, not even sure what scip is [17:09] ioria: it isn't a steam controller. Its a speedlink controller (acts like a ps3 controller) === spdr_ is now known as spdr [17:09] jancoow, oh, sorry [17:09] wikiemol: can you paste the output of "sudo lshw | grep bluetooth -A15" to a pastebin and link that here?

[17:16] Yes, I was using my bluetooth headphones yesterday [17:17] But then it just stopped working after I had to go into windows for a while [17:17] nicomachus: DO you think this could have anythign to do with my /boot partition being filled up? I keep clearing old kernels out but it just fills up again every time I update [17:18] wikiemol: let's see the full output of "sudo lshw" then, with no grep. [17:18] devsys: I don't think so, but I'm not server expert. FYI, #ubuntu-server may have more info. is autoremove not clearing your /boot? [17:19] nicomachus: http://pastebin.com/wJJG9LrN here you go [17:19] nicomachus: It was not, but it looks like it is now after I manually purged them last time I did it... woohoo for that at least, it's back to 50% util [17:20] jancoow, are you using a /lib/udev/rules.d/99-steam-controller-perms.rules or not ? [17:20] Hey! I have a Windows 10 machine on which I've installed Ubuntu, but unfortunately, my model (Intel Dual Band 8260) doesn't have any linux drivers available. I've heard the best thing to do is to use NDISwrapper with my Windows drivers. However, given that the drivers only exist for 32 bit Windows 7, 32 & 64 Windows 8, and 32 & 64 bit Windows 10, which would be the best version of the drivers to use with NDISwrapper? As far [17:20] as I can tell, it only supports XP drivers, which don't exist for this hardware. [17:24] wikiemol: what else changed between yesterday and today, with this working? I don't see bluetooth anywhere here... [17:25] ioria: no [17:26] nicomachus: The only thing that I can think of is that when I went into windows, I turned bluetooth on.

The issue was in 15.10 only. [18:45] the 15x's are always going to have glitches, i'd just use 14.04 until 16.04 comes out in april [18:46] Yeah, that's what I'm planning on doing. Would I need to submit a bug report for this or not? [18:46] unless you're into testing things [18:46] i would [18:47] i only run testing distros inside a vm [18:48] have you seen the hateful 8? [18:49] ok thanks for the help bababooey_ I'll probably wait for 16.04 now [18:49] is upstart godo to use for ubuntu 14?

I'm seeking help with Ubuntu installation. I installed Ubuntu on my new laptop, but grub does not show up [19:06] I remember this has happened before as well for ubuntu installation, but I can't remember how to access the installed ubuntu [19:06] from there I should be able to just click "repair grub" or something === Guest41079 is now known as Jonii^ [19:07] hello together [19:08] I'm not sure if Windows does something to prevent booting to other OS. That might also be a problem. Anyhow, is anyone has idea where the problem specifically is, that would help [19:09] Jonii^, what do mean it doesnt show up? [19:10] Jonii^, does it boot or only boots windows? [19:10] windows boots normally [19:10] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [19:11] Jonii^, did you install ubuntu or windows first? [19:11] I plan on making single boot ubuntu laptop out of this, but i'd like to make dual boot work first so i can see everything works and is compatible [19:11] windows [19:11] windows was pre-installed actually [19:12] Jonii^, have you tried boot repair? [19:12] the guys at the shop I bought this from asked me to avoid wiping the entire drive if I end up returning this laptop [19:12] !boot-repair | Jonii^ [19:12] So i'll try to stick with dual boot [19:13] !bootrepair | Jonii^ [19:13] Jonii^: Boot-Repair is a simple tool to repair frequent boot issues you may encounter in Ubuntu. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair for more info. [19:13] nicomachus, thank you [19:14] hello all [19:14] who here listen to audiobooks? [19:15] Jonii^, did ubuntu boot atleast once? [19:15] bootrepair is pretty difficult to get working, internet connection is one of the things i couldn't get working on live usb [19:15] happynewyear2013: do you have an ubuntu support question? [19:15] and nope, ubuntu never booted [19:15] hmmmmmmmmm xubuntu installer isn't allowing me to partition the hdd into two so that one is for the OS and one for personal files and stuff... will I be able to do that later, if I choose LVM thing [19:16] i whant to make a new user and i whant to set him a number of process he can allow to use ex: he can start 4 ./ processes how i can do that in ubuntu ? [19:16] Jonii^, because windows generally replaces grub [19:16] nicomachus: yeah this audiobook doesnt play on ubuntu [19:16] windows will only replace grub when you install or upgrade to a new version of windows [19:16] happynewyear2013: what's the format? [19:16] yeah. I did fresh ubuntu installation [19:18] bababooey_, One of my machines would complain that there is an issue and would fix it by removing grub. This happened everytime I installed grub [19:18] i mean, it might be because of bios settings. maybe there is some setting protecting windows boot somehow [19:18] Jonii^, which laptop? [19:18] nicomachus: dont worry i made it work [19:18] I tried live usb reinstall grub2 on my sda, and it reported "installation successful" [19:18] harishkrupo: Lenovo Yoga 500 [19:19] Jonii^, legacy or Uefi? [19:20] legacy [19:21] Jonii^, is your bios setting on leacy or Uefi? [19:21] harishkrupo, i barely use windows and would uninstall it and make it a VM if it ever did that [19:21] legacy [19:22] bababooey_, I did the same. It now has only arch on it [19:22] how does ubuntu and other open source projects main themselves financially? only through donations? [19:23] could't get installer to work without legacy [19:26] sw0rdfish: that's a great question for #ubuntu-offtopic [19:26] Jonii^: what's the original issue here? === metalcamp_ is now known as metalcamp [19:29] Jonii^: just can't get to the grub menu? did you press "shift" during boot? [19:32] hello [19:33] is there better code java editor in linux? [19:33] IDEA Intellij [19:33] what are you using now? [19:33] iCodeU, eclipse or IDEA [19:34] где я? [19:34] harishkrupo: let me see first [19:34] !ru | sergey [19:34] sergey: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [19:34] for the javar ? [19:34] sergey, ты с нами, не бойся [19:34] i think IDEA is very very good [19:34] why are there so many russians coming here ? [19:34] ilhami: i am just using text editor brought b linux itself [19:35] what's shift do Nickeeh omachus [19:35] this is literally the only channel in freenode where I see people coming in starting to talk that language [19:35] lulcat: because lots of people use ubuntu, but then they get directed to the proper channels. [19:35] Jonii^, shift shows grub if it is hidden during boot [19:35] idea free version is enough right> [19:35] ? [19:35] nicomachus: , sry [19:35] Jonii^: pressing shift during boot will bring up grub. [19:36] it is iCodeU [19:36] iCodeU, what kind of java code ? like servelet? [19:36] should I try? i thought it came up regardless [19:36] hi tell plz. if in script we have "aptitude install vim" and system ask me "Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]" how me write it in my script with YES??? [19:36] ilhami: thanks [19:36] like, i can't boot into ubuntu [19:37] den-3local-den: do the original command as "aptitude -y install vim" [19:37] den-3local-den, apt-get -y install vim [19:37] ilhami: i am doing jquery and java script basicly, but i wanna have it compiled also, is idea able to do it too? [19:37] if i could, all would be well. [19:37] Jonii^: press shift during boot... [19:37] i try [19:37] nicomachus, harishkrupo thanks dude!) [19:37] brb [19:37] Is there a known memory leak in Nautilus right now? Nautilus is currently taking a gigabyte of RAM right now, and I'd like to know what to do to report this. [19:37] iCodeU, you doing Java or JavaScript? [19:37] ilhami: can idea compile the code also? i mean like debuging it or something [19:38] Hitechcg: measure with htop? [19:38] ilhami: javascript at the moment , and i was using sublime text 3 [19:38] please take the java talk to #java or #ubuntu-java [19:38] iCodeU, javascript the I would suggest eclipse [19:38] you could use WebStorm maybe.. :) but Sublime is fine for Javascript. You can debug in the browser. [19:39] ilhami: thanks [19:39] is anyone using elementary os at the moment ? or ever had? [19:39] yeah [19:39] !ot | iCodeU [19:39] iCodeU: #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! [19:40] yes [19:40] please let me know about its stability [19:40] iCodeU: only ubuntu support here. [19:40] Having an issue with openssl s_client -showcerts -connect lukepolo.com:443 , its showing me my old certificate , but if I run openssl s_client -showcerts -connect lukepolo.com:443 -servername lukepolo.com [19:40] Anyone seen this before ? [19:40] elementary is offtopic, iCodeU, just ubuntu support [19:40] ok [19:40] alright [19:41] nicomachus: shift did nothing [19:41] Joniii: what are you on right now, windows? [19:42] yes [19:42] can't boot into ubuntu, that's the problem [19:42] do you have a live USB lying around that you can boot into? [19:42] sure, installation usb [19:42] LukePOLO: sounds like you have a default certificate and a certificate for the vhost that is different [19:43] boot into a live session of that and let's verify some things. [19:43] Hakon : oh, not sure how i made it a default cert, is there a way to remove it ?? [19:43] probably in the web server config somewhere [19:43] i've already verified quite a few things in live usb, so I can probably tick off 5 or so items from your list right off the bat [19:44] lotuspsychje: I was looking at System Monitor, htop seems to show the same thing (not quite sure how to use htop though) [19:44] (away) out. [19:44] Joniii: ok, you checked parted -l to make sure there's an ubuntu partition installed? and checked to see if there is a file for /etc/default/grub? [19:45] first one yes. second one nope [19:46] Joniii: boot the live session, let's see what you have for grub. [19:49] Hitechcg: can you click on nautilus in htop, wich ubuntu version is this? [19:49] 15.10 [19:49] Hitechcg: upgrade or clean install? [19:50] Clean install. Also, there are four Nautiluses, and clicking doesn't seem to do anything but highlight the process [19:51] Hitechcg: could you launch a nautilus session from terminal please, maybe it will spit out usefull errors? [19:54] lotuspsychje: Can I PM you with the three errors I see? Also, I want to report a bug. This happened once before, but it's not consistent. If I were to do nautilus -q, it'd go away. [19:54] twice, actually [19:54] nicomachus: okay, i have /etc/default/grub file open? [19:54] was that it? [19:54] salut [19:54] !paste | Hitechcg so channel can read please [19:54] Hitechcg so channel can read please: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [19:55] Jonii^: so it's there, at least. You said you installed ubuntu as legacy? but windows is EFI? [19:56] I don't know what those words mean so I can't really reply. I followed instructions that said I should swap mode from UEFI to Legacy to get ubuntu installer USB to work [19:56] Hitechcg: also keep in mind that LTS is more stable [19:56] So I did, and it worked, until installation ended and I was back in Windows [19:57] I've installed dispcalgui and argyll from repos for monitor color profiling and need to get dispcalgui to point to the argyll cms executibles one time but can't seem to locate them. Anyone with experience with this? [19:57] http://pastebin.com/PHJcbfDi [19:58] Jonii^: ok, I'm afraid you're probably going to reinstall ubuntu as UEFI... but first we need to verify whether Windows is using UEFI or legacy. Can you paste the output of 'sudo parted -l' to a pastebin and link that here? [19:58] nope. internet connection does not exist for my laptop as of now [19:58] Hitechcg: can you try something, making another user (as test) and test nautilus from there [19:59] Jonii^: oooook. one sec. [20:00] what do i look for in this parted -l feed? [20:00] "EFI System partition" for 273mb partition that's probably a boot partition for Windows? [20:00] what's the file system type? [20:00] lotuspsychje: It won't do anything. This happened twice before, and it happens slowly (likely a memory leak). I want to know how to figure out why it's using up so much memory. This computer has been up for three days. [20:01] fat32 [20:01] Scunizi: does the manpage show anything usefull [20:01] Jonii^: ok, that's the one then. you're going to need to reinstall Ubuntu in UEFI mode. that's why it won't boot now. [20:02] ok [20:02] nicomachus, if Jonii^'s bios is set to legacy and windows boots then windows is in legacy right? [20:02] it's set to "legacy first" [20:02] Whatever that means [20:03] harishkrupo: to be honest I'm not all that familiar with UEFI, and am googling my way through this. but judging by the separate 273mb partition for windows boot, I'm guessing it's UEFI. [20:03] lotuspsychje: no.. some info using Google-fu but no step by step [20:03] hey guys, i have a question [20:03] Jonii^: follow these instructions to reinstall ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI#Installing_Ubuntu_in_UEFI_mode [20:03] !ask | u1 [20:03] u1: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

[20:06] rvgate: enabled usb mouse/keyboard in bios? [20:07] lotuspsychje, ofcourse.. the mouse and keyboard work just fine, its just that the mouse is not visiblel [20:07] rvgate: what kind of graphics card and driver version? [20:08] nicomachus, ppa:vikoadi/ [20:08] lotuspsychje: Nautilus works fine, it's just using 1GB of RAM. [20:08] I think it's a memory leak, and I'd like to report it if possible. [20:08] Hitechcg: thats not good, you need to test some stuff out [20:09] Hitechcg: try LTS and compare, make another user, clean bash profile etc [20:09] Hitechcg: did you mess with nautilus of any kind? [20:09] What the hell would a bash profile have to do with nautilus? Also, no. [20:10] lotuspsychje, its 2x Sapphire HD6950, using the defaut AMD/AIT display driver wrapper from xserver-xorg-video-ati [20:10] *AIT [20:10] *ATI [20:11] lustic: what version of lubuntu are you on? [20:12] rvgate: did you try other driver versions perhaps? [20:12] lotuspsychje: I reinstalled Ubuntu completely on the 12th and I recall this happening once before the reinstall. [20:12] nicomachus, im running 12.04, the latest versions have some issue with booting on this pc, [20:12] anyone know how often ubuntu checks for updates to ssl certs? [20:12] Hitechcg: if you really tried everything file a bug against it indeed [20:13] lustic: well there's your problem, it doesn't look like vikoadi has a ppa for 12.04 [20:13] lotuspsychje: thanks. [20:13] lotuspsychje, the driver was activated by default... should work without using any proprietary drivers [20:13] lustic: you'll have to try something else besides KDE Connect. Push Bullet seems to have similar functionality. [20:14] lustic: doesn't look like pushbullet is working with 12.04 anymore either, though... [20:14] rvgate: radeon can have some screen glitches sometimes, might be worth to try amd drivers [20:14] nicomachus, oooh, I could have swore I installed it before, I guess i wasn't paying enough attention, thanks for your patience, i just really liked how kde connect let me use my phone as a wireless mouse and music control, but thank you i have push bullet i will pursue that now, good day sir :) [20:14] nicomachus, ohh : / [20:15] lustic: you may have installed it before, but they've removed the 12.04 support for the ppa since then. [20:15] lustic: what issues do you have if you try upgrading to 14.04? [20:15] what is that prompts me to reboot upon kernel update? is it some part of the ubuntu /gnome software updater? [20:16] nicomachus, I cant remember the exact problem, when booting a live usb said something like boot probe failled pcc [20:16] pa yes, reboot after a kernel update, that's normal [20:16] nicomachus, custom options for the boot didnt solve it either [20:16] !info ksplice | pa [20:16] MonkeyDust, is it update-manage or update-notifier? [20:16] pa: ksplice (source: ksplice): Patching live kernel without having to reboot. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.9-5 (wily), package size 527 kB, installed size 3525 kB (Only available for i386; amd64; arm; armel; armhf) [20:17] lustic: you may give it another shot... and then come here with specific errors. [20:17] pa the one manages it, the other notifies you about what needs to be done [20:17] nicomachus, it's not the biggest deal, I will try it again perhaps tomorrow, thank you very much man [20:17] MonkeyDust, so the popup is shown by the other, i guess [20:17] maybe i can try to remove it [20:18] shit, it takes update-manager after it [20:19] pa removing the message does not remove the need to reboot [20:19] MonkeyDust, the problem is that sometimes i misclick on the dialog [20:19] and it reboots when i shouldnt [20:19] beside, i'm using my own build of the ubuntu kernel, which is seemingly prioritized over any stock ubuntu kernel [20:20] so after reboot my kernel will be used anyway [20:20] think before you click....? [20:20] nicomachus, when you get that prompt a thousand times [20:20] one can misclick once [20:21] i don't mind having it by default, but i'd like the option to disable it [20:21] or to allow me to remove it without taking everything with it [20:26] hi [20:27] Hey, I recently installed ubuntu-desktop from command line on my ubuntu server (14) vps. [20:27] Now, how do I connect to my ubuntu-desktop GUI? [20:27] Horler, sudo service lightdm start ? [20:28] I'll do that [20:28] What software should I use to connect to ubuntu desktop? [20:29] Hello all, I recently started using Ubuntu Desktop on a VM. Can anyone tell me what process fiberlamp -root is and why its taking up like 30% of my CPU? [20:29] Horler: remote software viewers isnt a good idea [20:29] Horler: whats your purpose exactly? [20:30] I want to do my game server management with GUI... all that FTP related stuff... I've been hanging on command line for a long time now and it isn't working well for me [20:31] Horler, http://askubuntu.com/questions/235905/use-xrdp-to-connect-to-desktop-session [20:32] Horler: i wouldnt reccomend any remote software surely no vnc [20:32] So... I should drop the idea of ubuntu-desktop? [20:32] Horler: try openssh instead [20:32] Horler: ssh -X [20:33] but it'll be slow [20:33] k2gremlin, that would be the screensaver [20:33] Horler: server and desktop mixing up, not sure thats a good idea [20:33] all right [20:33] Thanks for rescuing me [20:33] BlackFate, Anyway to disable it?

[20:45] lotuspsychje: like I said, I tried even even other distributions, like Manjaro and Mint and problem is everywhere. I added it because I was looking for other versions of the driver that can solve my problem [20:46] KORraN: tried LTS ubuntu version? [20:47] KORraN: ubuntu desktop 14.04.3 for example [20:47] lotuspsychje: not yet, I'm already tired of playing with different OS... I don't think it will help [20:48] KORraN: its important to findout whats causing this exactly, LTS is strongly advised, we cant support manjaro or mint [20:48] lotuspsychje: to let linux detect my hdd I had to switch it to AHCI instead of IDE, that is not the problem I guess? [20:48] KORraN: installed an ssd yourself?

[20:58] m [21:05] Hello, how I do tell network manager that a device is wireless and not wired? [21:09] steven_is_false: that would be false [21:09] Hey guys, pretty simple one I think - Ubuntu 15.10 fully patched and updated. I have a wireless kb without any LED's on it, is there an onscreen indicator for caps lock? [21:10] Quantos: some applications (libreoffice, for example) would have some sort of indicator, however, the OS itself does not. [21:10] steven_is_false: what do you mean though? You have a network interface that is listed but it is supposed to be classified as wireless? [21:11] Thank you slidinghorn, I'll look for a utility [21:11] steven_is_false: or do you just not have a wireless interface listed? [21:12] Quantos: http://tipsonubuntu.com/2014/05/23/caps-lock-indicator-ubuntu-1404/ [21:12] Wow, amazing, thanks coded1 [21:12] steven_is_false: what is the final output of sudo lshw -c network (post in a pastebin and give us the link, please) [21:12] Quantos: np [21:17] Hey, another basic one I'm sure but Ctrl+Alt+T doesn't open a term for me [21:17] You mean ctrl-alt-del? [21:17] Did they change the shortcut on 15.10? [21:18] could anyone tell me what is causing this error in reference to NFS: [21:18] nexace@saturn:~$ sudo exportfs -a [21:18] exportfs: /var/nfs does not support NFS export [21:18] Quantos: what desktop? [21:18] Oh crap, yeah, that'll make a diff eh? [21:18] Running KDE, no idea what version [21:18] I think it's the latest one [21:18] kde always has problems [21:19] LMAO [21:19] That figures [21:19] dont know if kde uses that shortcut at all or just got problems which make that shortcut not work [21:20] Thanks, I'll check the how-to [21:20] k1l: ^^^ [21:21] To be honest that didn't even dawn on me though [21:21] Quantos: could ask in #kubuntu [21:21] Okay, thanks a lot k1l [21:24] Is it normal that bots try to authenticate my server ssh? [21:25] ysec: you mean they try to login? [21:25] Yes [21:25] !info fail2ban | Yes, relatively normal. And some say to change the port it listens on, all up to you. [21:25] Yes, relatively normal. And some say to change the port it listens on, all up to you.: fail2ban (source: fail2ban): ban hosts that cause multiple authentication errors. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.3-1 (wily), package size 221 kB, installed size 1152 kB [21:25] that is a known issue. so use strong passwords, better use key-auth. dont enable root login. install fail2ban [21:26] stronger than a mongoose [21:26] lol [21:27] Thanks! I already use keys to login and root is disabled I'll checkout fail2ban === Lantizia is now known as Guest81061 === owl0 is now known as ___owl0 [21:36] hi everybody [21:37] i can't kill my firefox process; killall isn't working and I can't find the PID using ps aux | grep firefox, cause it's stalling [21:37] kill pkill firefox [21:37] what do I do? Any tips for newbie? ;-) [21:37] pkill [21:38] HackerII: I'll give it a shoot [21:39] Hello! I'm dual-booting Ubuntu and windows, and I want to 'hide' my windows system partition from Ubuntu. Is there a way to do that? [21:39] unmount it all the time [21:39] It's not mounted [21:40] pkill is stalling as well. I can't get effing firefox PID in any way [21:40] good, then what do you need? === adeschamps is now known as arthtux [21:40] spdr: reinstall [21:40] mongoose: ;-D [21:40] I want it not to appear in /dev if possible [21:40] helo [21:41] NSil: it will, but you don't have to mount it === arthtux is now known as adeschamps [21:41] Ok, i'm restarting my xs :S [21:41] NSil: not possible the easy way. dont know if possible at all. [21:41] spdr: you can try different signals, -s then a number, some are messier than others [21:42] SchrodingersScat, you again [21:42] Is it possible to make mount fail automatically? [21:42] SchrodingersScat: I can't obtain PID of firefox. [21:42] Sorry for the technical question - I'm trying to use afl-fuzz to fuzz an application on ubuntu, but afl doesnt want coredumps to be sent to apport. I tried restoring the defaults by typing, "sudo echo core > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern" into a terminal but it says I do not have permissions - as the single sudoer, how can i not have permissions? [21:42] NSil: read about mounting [21:43] VeiledSpectre: did you log on as root? [21:43] spdr: killall can also accept -s, etc. [21:43] mongoose, I logged on as the default user accound with sudoer privledges... [21:43] I dont recall ever setting a root account [21:43] ok, VeiledSpectre, do this: [21:44] SchrodingersScat: thanks, I'll try [21:44] yes, it is hidden [21:44] VeiledSpectre, Your 'echo' is sudo, but your > is not. [21:44] VeiledSpectre: log out or switch user [21:44] Ah - that makes sense bgardner [21:45] VeiledSpectre: you can do anything with root acount, no need to worry about permissions [21:45] I keep getting tossed into busybox (initramfs) after I install. Is there a way to find the cause of these boot fail issues? [21:46] I know this mongoose - but how does one log onto root in a default ubuntu install? su root asks for a password. [21:46] VeiledSpectre: after you log on as root, you can type in "root" instead of your name and will log on as root [21:46] Default install never has you set it up [21:46] it is hidden [21:46] !root | VeiledSpectre [21:46] VeiledSpectre: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [21:46] you should still be able to "su root" [21:46] if your desktop no have search box at login, there might be a "other user" button [21:47] VeiledSpectre, Try not to, but if you must: 'sudo -i' [21:47] What about mounting? I know what it means. I'm trying to run my Ubuntu installation as a VM on my Windows machine. I have read that if it tries to access the Windows system partition, it might crash, so I want to prevent that. What is the best way to do that? [21:47] VeiledSpectre: you have to logout of your account if you use terminal [21:47] for logins/logouts [21:48] VeiledSpectre: mongoose dont use su root or sudo su. sudo -i if you need a root shell [21:48] k1l: depends [21:48] mongoose: no, there is nothing to depend. [21:49] k1l: yer mixed up [21:49] !root [21:49] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [21:49] mongoose: no, he's right. [21:49] mongoose: ubuntu is build around the idea not to use the root account. so dont try to break the whole system just because you want to be root. use sudo [21:49] mongoose: no, there is never a need to sudo su. Ever. sudo does everything you need for privileged actions, and even sudo -i should be used only when absolutely necessary [21:49] NSil, Your VM won't 'see' anything that the hypervisor doesn't show it. In particular, it won't see any partitions not on its vdi (or whatever format you use). [21:49] the way i always do it [21:50] gives more pprivilegs [21:50] well it's wrong. [21:50] I want it to use the hard drive as a vdi [21:50] you mean virtual disk image? [21:50] I'm trying to run one dual boot OS from another [21:50] (back) out. (time: 2h 6m e 4s) [21:50] mongoose: you're breaking one of the main security concepts behind the OS to do something you could have simply done with sudo [21:50] mongoose: no matter what you do to your system. its not the ubuntu way. so please dont advice it here. [21:50] !away | Saulo [21:50] Saulo: Please do not use noisy away messages and nicks in Ubuntu channels. It is annoying and unnecessary. Use the command "/away " to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» [21:50] whatever works! [21:51] mongoose: not in this channel, no [21:51] sorry [21:51] ;/ [21:51] mongoose: You can do as you please, but do not advise that here, period. [21:51] ok, you are not economical, but thats fine [21:51] i'll put up with it [21:51] :( [21:51] NSil, Not gonna happen, or at least I don't know how to make that happen. A VDI (or equivalent format) gives the isolation that you usually want in a virtualized guest. [21:52] It is possible, I just want to hide the Windows partition from the VM in order to prevent a possible crash. [21:54] Followup question: what is there any particular advantage to using "sudo -i" vs allowing "su root + a password"? [21:55] VeiledSpectre: ubuntu is build around not using the root account. so that can and will make effects to programs. [21:55] VeiledSpectre: I suggest reading the link in the !root factoid we've posted - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [21:59] exit [22:02] Where can I find logs about why I'm getting dumped into busybox? [22:03] at_work: Which messages do you see on the screen? [22:03] Typing 'exit' in busybox frees me from busybox and the node boots. [22:03] No errors or anything, just the busybox header and prompt [22:04] hi, I have a virus [22:04] P2D939fdk-39fdk9: hi [22:04] do you have more informations? [22:04] -s [22:04] it's a really bad one [22:04] P2D939fdk-39fdk9: How do you know this? What version & flavor of *buntu are you running? [22:05] it causes me to cough and sneeze [22:05] -_- [22:05] :) [22:05] !ot | P2D939fdk-39fdk9 [22:05] P2D939fdk-39fdk9: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

If my server's getting "decent" web traffic, is ~300 processes too many? [22:06] sounds like you've got too many child processes either on your web server or db [22:07] it depends on what else you are running [22:07] daftykins: I'm guessing it's Apache, but I'll be honest, I've got no idea how to fix it [22:07] Or even where to look [22:07] some webservers have mysql, ftp, ssh or email servers running [22:08] fartface: are you perhaps not the one typically in charge of this box, or? [22:08] I'm generally not, no, but that guys on holidays for a couple of weeks, and I'm getting put onto the task [22:08] Such is life sometimes lol [22:08] :D [22:09] I'm not totally green to this, but I don't generally get down and dirty with Apache [22:09] a good glance at the output of "top" or "ps -ef" etc should show how many instances there are of a given process. [22:09] a quick pastebin or screenshot of "top" would also show how the resource usage is going [22:12] daftykins: http://pastebin.com/g29Q5XEG [22:13] sweet mother of Tux that's a lorra apache [22:13] lol it certainly seems that way [22:13] fartface: how does top look? [22:14] daftykins: http://pastebin.com/NwDErnRZ [22:15] That's the top of top, ps -ef is a lot easier to grab in text haha [22:15] fartface: seems like a perl script is starting a apache? [22:15] k11: awstats runs apache, that could be the perl script [22:15] One second [22:16] fartface: yep that is started a lot of times [22:16] k1l: looks like awstats, if i'm reading right [22:17] oh yeah, look at me parroting :D [22:17] i don't really see anything to be too concerned about there, assuming all sites are responsive and happy [22:17] fartface: is that 12.04 or similar? "cat /etc/issue" === Warrigal is now known as tswett [22:18] Yeah, that's the thing. There's nothing in the logs that would suggest any reason for network drops to happen, but every once in a while the network just drops for ~5minutes [22:18] Sometimes more [22:19] It's a VPS [22:19] ok - and version check? [22:19] sorry, 14.04 [22:20] i see an awful lot of pts logins [22:20] Can anyone guide me through adding a boot option to grub? I'm super new at this. >.< I'm running lubuntu's latest. [22:21] fartface: is the connectivity down shown only by sites being unavailable, or is there more? if the VPS provider has some kind of backend console login it might show whether it's gone for any length of time "in front of" it [22:21] Legi0n: what are you trying to add? [22:22] pts logins? [22:22] yeah SSH typically, can see they're all by "developer#" [22:22] sorry 'developer' === ___owl0 is now known as owl0 [22:24] I made my Ubuntu installation unbootable, where is the database listing the installed packages? [22:25] developer is the default user people will be sshing with [22:25] I think there's ~2-4 people using that login [22:25] idodeisuke: MAybbe state what you have done, and what you are about to do? :) [22:25] you can chroot your installation and gain it from "dpkg -get-selections > file.txt" [22:25] idodeisuke: ^ from a live session. [22:25] daftykins: I need to create a boot menu item for a experimental OS that installed onto a partition. [22:26] *that I [22:26] Legi0n: doesn't "update-grub" find it? === pitastrudl_ is now known as pitastrudl [22:26] daftykins: Don't remind me X_X [22:26] idodeisuke: here's a rough guide - http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2010/06/02/how-to-chroot-to-ubuntu-using-live-cd-to-fix-grub-rescue-prompt/ [22:27] fartface: mmm bit surprised so many are actively messing around on it [22:28] Okay so I'm super duper stupid when it comes to linux. The partition I installed it on is separate but mounted. Will the command you're talking about still work? [22:28] fartface: anywho depending on the VPS provider, you may have some console access as mentioned above to experiment with [22:28] fartface: i might try and take a backup if possible ASAP :D [22:28] Also.... what's the exact line? =x [22:28] "sudo update-grub" [22:28] Sorry, I'm so new at this it's sad. [22:29] that's fine, we all started somewhere :) [22:30] Hmmm... what specifically does that command look for? [22:30] I'm not sure it found what I wanted it to find. [22:31] Legi0n: paste what it said to http://paste.ubuntu.com and share with us for a look-see - it'd help if we knew what the other OS was. [22:32] thx! [22:34] .... You're going to laugh at me. It's android_x86. The files I was told to install onto the separate partition are initrd.img, kernel, randisk.img, and system.sfs [22:34] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14268895/ [22:34] I installed the files to dev/sda1 [22:34] Should I unmount first before running the command? [22:36] Legi0n: better ask the android x86 guys what that OS needs to boot. i dont think it will work with a ubuntu kernel and setup. [22:37] yeah can't comment on that one i'm afraid. [22:38] The creator told me to "create a boot menu item". The installation disk which has the items I put on to the partition also has a grub files. So I'm assuming it uses grub? [22:38] https://groups.google.com/d/msg/android-x86/BH9c01NFp50/vL2OnwxxDgAJ [22:43] is upstart what i want to use for running uwsgi/django on a powerup/reboot? [22:43] Legi0n: i'd find their channel, you can message the bot "alis" for help finding them [22:43] fission6: yep but only on 14.04 and older [22:44] daftykins: what about something hire? [22:44] higher [22:45] 15.04 and 15.10 use systemd (or can, unless you upgraded - it gets messy) [22:50] hello y'all [22:50] can i install dual boot ubuntu in legacy mode with windows installed in EFI? [22:52] dontsnee: nope [22:52] dontsnee: only if you want to change settings every boot to switch [22:53] ah, install. well installing will work. but that will only boot one of the OS then when switching the boot mode [22:54] daftykins: I was trying to run boot-repair but I got error that I need to get off legacy mode. But I can't because my hp laptop doesn't recognized my live usb without legacy mode. [22:55] how did you make the usb and what is on that usb? [22:55] Is there a general problem with apt mirrors in the uk ? [22:56] k1l: i used universal usb installer to create live mint [22:56] i have a user complaing about alot of problems with updates from the uk [22:56] lonix: could ask in #ubuntu-uk but not heard so far [22:56] lonix: probably them. [22:56] dontsnee: ask the mint guys how they handle the uefi and secureboot [22:56] !mint | dontsnee [22:56] dontsnee: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [22:57] oh [22:57] k1l: thanks [22:58] daftykins: offcourse it is, but i am still the one that needs to solve it [22:58] thanks k1l [22:59] lonix: gonna need some detail then [23:01] daftykins: im working on it [23:01] getting annoyed at this point [23:02] you can always guide them through the GUI mirror selector, to see if that helps [23:05] why it isn't possible to make nautilus/dolphin on a client box aware of a new usb device plugged into a remote server that is sharing /media dir (through NFS, SAMBA or SSHFS)? [23:06] because that use case is ridiculous, i'd say [23:06] anabain: Because it's on the USB bus of a different computer than the one you're using [23:07] genii, yes, but after all you can mount it in the server box and then make it available to the client [23:08] You could do some udev rule to automount and share it at the server when it's plugged in [23:09] Any common reasons for the GPU to be falling off the bus? [23:09] genii, is that possible? [23:09] anabain: Yes. [23:09] aotea: incompatible / bad BIOS/firmware ? [23:11] daftykins, could having ubuntu installed UEFI be an issue? [23:11] server irc.zombiesec.net [23:11] anabain: For an example of how to automount an USB drive when it's plugged in, you can examine the udev rule they use here http://www.axllent.org/docs/view/auto-mounting-usb-storage/ [23:12] aotea: if the host has a buggy EFI [23:12] thanks genii [23:12] bonsoir [23:12] daftykins, What is the host in this case?
