[00:05] going to reboot and triple check BIOS settings for onboard (which should not be in use...) [00:06] k1l, thanks! [00:13] k1m: confirming, the onboard video is set to 1M... [00:14] any other ideas? [00:14] k1l: * [00:14] and you say with a 3.13 kernel you see 4gb ram in free output? [00:14] k1l: haven't tested that, will do to confirm. (good idea) [00:15] multimedia: because it could be that its only simulating PAE because the hardware is 32bit only. [00:17] k1l, universe enabled still no aircrack what am I doing wrong? [00:17] not sure I understand that point. PAE (physical address extension) is what provides > 3-ish GB of RAM. Which is useful when hardware is 32-bit, running 32-bit OS, and >~3GB of memory.

[00:19] <_Dylan> ok [00:19] <_Dylan> how can i pastebinit exactly? [00:20] _Dylan, see "topic text" [00:20] (it outputs when you first joined the channel at the top) [00:20] _Dylan: sudo apt-get install pastebinit , then | pastebinit [00:21] my speakers remote used to work on ubuntu gnome or unity, but since i'm using i3 wm, it doesn't, where should I look into it?

Is there a solution to have it unaccessible there [00:42] porg: ubuntu derivatives are not supported here, unless you mean official spin offs with other DEs like xu lu or ku buntu [00:42] porg: better ask the specialists form netrunner about the specifics === sat-buddhi is now known as |VAsanAs| [00:43] yeah - official spinoff [00:43] i dont care about netrunner - chan is dead on netrunnner anyways [00:43] just using it now [00:43] kubuntu [00:43] jvtbatman: unaccessible? you want an NTFS disk to not be readable in another system? [00:43] Pretty much, yeah [00:43] apparently no one actually knows how to properly upgrade clojure on ubuntu [00:44] jvtbatman: nothing to do with ubuntu then - and no, ridiculous request [00:44] Maybe encryption is the only way to go? [00:44] yes [00:44] SO's instructions are all wrong too - lein doesn't do it either [00:44] jvtbatman: You can try using hdparm to set the readonly flag [00:45] jvtbatman: last I tested windows doesn't make it obvious how to toggle that off, so it is better than nothing. [00:45] Yeah, sorry! Thanks MiningMarsh, I'll check it out [00:45] i'm stuck on clojure 1.5, can't get apt to find latest version - lein upgrades fine, but can't get it to default to clr1.7 [00:45] <[Mew2]> guys [00:45] clj* [00:45] jvtbatman: oh wait you want it to not be readable, or writable? [00:45] <[Mew2]> can anyone help me [00:45] I think I misread you... [00:46] [Mew2]: depends, what are you trying to accomplish? [00:46] <[Mew2]> I setup fail2ban and it's not blocking ip's, Ssh failed logins specifically is what I'm testing, [ssh] = true in the config [00:46] porg: you need a repo that got that version in it [00:46] MiningMarsh: I don't want it readable/writable or anything [00:47] jvtbatman: Yeah no way to do that without some form of encryption. [00:47] k1l: gah, didn't check my repos... [00:47] i'll do that first my bad [00:47] You could set the NTFS permissions to only let a specific user read, but that depends on the OS enforcing it. [00:47] porg: even 16.04 will have only clojure1.6 [00:47] k1l: Seriously?? [00:48] k1l: thanks for the heads up on that.... i'll figure something [00:48] out [00:48] Alright then, thanks! Sorry for weird choice of channel. [00:49] and since clojure.org is not loading i dont know if that is still a thing. [00:49] k1l: ok. I'm thinking i jacked something up in my path.

I am compiling a program on Windows using MingW and it uses the openSSL library. When I execute MyProgram.exe, it just returns without doing anything. No crash dump, no error message o ra nything.

[00:51] wrong window, sorry [00:52] <[Mew2]> joeb3_ thats the guide i followed, k1l what does that mean? [00:53] private231: you will need either an EFI partition (if your BIOS is set up in EFI mode) or a BIOS-Boot partition (if your BIOS is set up in Legacy mode). [00:54] [Mew2]: it will not close already runnig connections. did you look up the iptables? [00:56] <[Mew2]> no i just configured it [00:56] and restarted it? [00:56] <[Mew2]> yes [00:56] [Mew2], the default install of fail2ban enables ssh. You have to fail 6 times. [00:56] and then take a look at the iptables? [00:56] <[Mew2]> if i pastebin the iptables will you take a look? [00:56] Thats 6 connections or 18 password attempts. Worked for me.

[01:08] haskel: yeah, but it wouldn't be personal stuff [01:09] Ben64, cool cool, I am good then [01:09] Ben64, btw there are some things I want to uninstall, is there a way to list all packages installed by apt-get [01:10] "dpkg -l" will show everything installed, but some stuff is required for a working system [01:12] haskel: 'dpkg --get-selections' will dump a list of all packages you have installed.

This thing is killing me [03:04] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14380968/ [03:06] SkepticalParrot: no, it uses compiz [03:06] private231: OK, let's get on with mounting to a chroot: "sudo mkdir /target; sudo mount /dev/sda6 /target" then "pastebinit <( ls -latr /target/ )" [03:07] o [03:07] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14381009/ [03:07] hello i have clamtk installed and it keeps coming up with pua is this normal. please [03:08] . [03:10] private231: looking good; looks like a root file-system. So "for M in proc sys dev dev/pts etc/resolv.conf; do sudo mount --bind /$M /target/$M; done" [03:12] TJ-: ok [03:12] private231: now enter the chroot and we'll check it has network connectivity: "sudo chroot /target" then "ping -nc 5 8.8.8.8" [03:13] --- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% packet loss, time 4001ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 305.710/355.332/436.308/50.423 ms [03:13] private231: and then check DNS name resolving works with "ping -c 5 google-public-dns-a.google.com" - you're hitting the same server (8.8.8.8) again using its name this time [03:13] --- google-public-dns-a.google.com ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% packet loss, time 4004ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 61.190/259.927/348.341/108.495 ms [03:14] private231: Good! so let's install pastebinit inside that chroot: "apt-get install pastebinit" [03:14] TJ-: done [03:15] private231: now some data: "pastebinit <( cat /etc/fstab; ls -latr /boot/; ls -altr /boot/grub/* )" [03:16] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14381166/ [03:17] private231: yurk! a bit of a mess! fstab claims it's booting using EFI but /boot/grub/i386-pc/ shows it's installed only for BIOS [03:17] :( [03:18] private231: lets check which grub packages are actually installed: "pastebinit <( dpkg -l 'grub*' )" [03:18] when is Ubuntu 16.10 due out??? [03:18] HappyHippie: October 2016 [03:18] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14381214/ [03:18] is it a lts release? [03:19] HappyHippie: no, the LTs is 16.04 [03:19] ah yep [03:19] thanks TJ- [03:19] private231: that list shows grub-pc is installed - so it should be using BIOS mode. That means we need to fix-up that incorrect fstab (possibly added by that bootrepair script) [03:20] TJ-, the /boot/grub entry in /etc/fstab is commented out [03:20] err, /boot/efi [03:21] private231: it's also possible everything is the exact opposite, so best to check! "mount /dev/sda1 /boot/efi" then "pastebinit <( find /boot/efi -ls )" [03:22] psusi: right, but at some point something put it there; I'm trying to determine how it got there :) [03:22] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14381277/ [03:22] private231: OK, so there's nothing in the file-system from /dev/sda1, so the EFI stuff is all red herrings [03:22] private231: "umount /boot/efi" [03:23] TJ-: ok [03:24] hi there, I got this when I update my ubuntu wily ( public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 0A3A17214427F6F1) [03:24] private231: now lets remove those (commented) EFI references from fstab, to make things less confusing. "sed -i '/efi/d' /etc/fstab" [03:25] private231: now we'll go and ensure GRUB is correctly installed: "grub-install --verbose /dev/sda" [03:25] Shady: that's most likely the repository signing key of a non-supported APT repository / PPA which you added manually [03:26] running "gpg --search-key 0A3A17214427F6F1" may provide a hint on itrs source / use. [03:28] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14381369/ [03:28] Shady: that key: http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0x0A3A17214427F6F1&fingerprint=on [03:28] private231: I expected that since GRUB is trying to use the GPT [03:29] TJ-: ahk [03:31] private231: I found away to work-around this recently; darned if I can recall what it was, now! [03:31] I had 14.04 system where I setup a software RAID1 array. I moved the hard drives to a new machine after installing mdadm, and the array seems to have been auto assembled, but as /dev/md127, rather than the original /dev/md3 that it was. [03:32] TJ-: LOL! [03:32] I can't manually set DNS through Network Manager without disabling dnsmasq [03:32] My mdadm.conf file on the new machine doesn't have an ARRAY listing like the old mdadm.conf had. [03:32] What is the proper way to manually set the DNS servers? [03:32] Do I need to do anything else to make sure everything is okay? [03:32] (been googling, finding too many answers that are not working) [03:33] TJ-: if it becomes too difficult i can cut my losses [03:35] private231: we can slip a BIOS Boot partition into the end of the disk, after partition 6 [03:35] TJ-, how to add it? [03:37] TJ-: because my start of disk eufi is wrecked? [03:38] private231: ah, only 389 sectors left; not enough. But, as its not using EFI we can delete partition 1 and use some of its space for a 1MB BIOS-Boot partition [03:38] Shady, sure you know which ppa it is >https://launchpad.net/~vpinon/+ppa-packages , add it properly [03:39] that key is for 2 ppas [03:40] private231: Are you OK with us deleting partition #1 ? [03:40] TJ-: yes i only created it for boot-repair [03:41] private231: OK, so "sgdisk --delete=1 /dev/sda" [03:42] TJ-: Warning: The kernel is still using the old partition table. The new table will be used at the next reboot. The operation has completed successfully. [03:43] private231: then we'll create a 1MiB partition for BIOS Boot. "sgdisk --new=1:2048:+1M" [03:43] private231: that's fine; we'll tell the kernel to update in a few moments [03:44] OerHeks, I don't know what is the problem but the software updates can't add it??!! [03:45] TJ-: ok [03:45] anyone help with a dnsmasq/networkmanager issue? [03:45] private231: then mark it as a bios boot type: "sgdisk --typecode=1:ef02" [03:46] private231: and finally, we redo the hybrid MsDOS PT with "sgdisk --hybrid 1:6" [03:46] TJ-: good good [03:46] private231: now lets check if you have a tool we need: "which partprobe" [03:48] TJ-: /sbin/partprobe [03:48] private231: good; so: "partprobe /dev/sda" [03:48] private231: and then "pastebinit <( cat /proc/partitions )" [03:48] TJ-: ok [03:48] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14381765/ [03:49] private231: it's not seeing that new partition #1 [03:49] private231: "pastebinit <( parted /dev/sda unit s print )" [03:50] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14381797/ [03:51] private231: that's not right! those 'sgdisk' commands we used haven't created the new partition ... were there no warnings/errors when you did the --new= and/or --typecode= ? [03:51] TJ-: there was no response, i assumed fine [03:52] private231: right; usually silence is golden :s [03:52] private231: we can only try again and check after each step [03:52] TJ-: sgdisk --new=1:2048:+1M root@ubuntu:/# sgdisk --typecode=1:ef02 root@ubuntu:/# sgdisk --hybrid 1:6 [03:52] how old is the last LTS Ubuntu? [03:53] private231: "sgdisk --new=1:2048:+1M /dev/sda" [03:53] private231: then "sgdisk --typecode=1:ef02 /dev/sda" [03:54] private231: I just noticed the previous commands I gave you didn't have the device name!! no wonder it didn't work :) [03:54] private231: then ""sgdisk --hybrid 1:6 /dev/sda" [03:54] TJ-: it does say "The new table will be used at the next reboot." [03:55] private231: after those 3 commands you should now seed /dev/sda1 with "parted /dev/sda unit s print" [03:55] s/seed/see/ [03:55] private231: it's almost 4am here; I think I'm getting tired [03:56] TJ-: Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 2048s 4095s 2048s fat32 bios_grub 6 2048000s 488396799s 486348800s ext4 [03:56] TJ-: you have no obligation <3 [03:56] private231: if you do see /dev/sda1 there now, tell the kernel about it with "partprobe /dev/sda" then check if its seen with "grep sda /proc/partitions" [03:56] HappyHippie: 14.04 == the 4th month of the year 2014 as the time of release, supported for 5 years .

[03:57] private231: and finally: "update-grub" [03:57] HappyHippie: :) [03:58] TJ-: Adding boot menu entry for EFI firmware configuration done [03:58] private231: huh!?!?!!? [03:58] private231: oh grrrr, that's not what we want! [03:58] Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-26-generic Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.11.0-26-generic Adding boot menu entry for EFI firmware configuration done [03:58] TJ-: :( [03:59] TJ-: sleep time? [04:01] private231: no, we just need to stop GRUB running that EFI menu script this time around. "chmod -x /etc/grub.d/etc/grub.d/30_uefi-firmware" [04:01] private231: then redo "update-grub" and that shouldn't be executed [04:01] TJ-: chmod: cannot access ‘/etc/grub.d/etc/grub.d/30_uefi-firmware’: No such file or directory [04:01] private231: oh doh me! [04:01] Hello, i have this usb webcam that worked and now it dosent, i think installed some stuff to change thwe settings but i dont remeber what, anyway it worked yesterday and now it dosent [04:02] private231: "chmod -x /etc/grub.d/30_uefi-firmware" [04:02] private231: then "update-grub" [04:02] TJ-: Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.11.0-26-generic done [04:03] private231: good, so no mention of EFI. Now we'll put that script back as it was: "chmod +x /etc/grub.d/30_uefi-firmware" [04:03] private231: and now you can do "exit" to leave that chroot, and then reboot and test in Legacy/BIOS mode [04:03] TJ-: ok [04:03] Ubuntu YAY! [04:03] when running cheese libv4l2: error turning on stream: Input/output error === ahmed is now known as Guest65592 [04:03] TJ-: :D [04:03] what sucks less Unity? Or Gnome 3? [04:04] TJ-: so will i need to mash shift for grub? [04:04] private231: you shouldn't no [04:04] HappyHippie: xfce [04:04] TJ-: ok brb quick [04:04] private231: as long as at the EFI/BIOS boot menu that disk is started in legacy mode it'll boot [04:05] Is anyone using the unity8 greeter? Because it almost killed my OS ._. [04:05] any idea? [04:06] GabeN: unity8 is developmental and unstable, so it could do that. [04:06] nicomachus: Then how come some got it to work? [04:06] GabeN: it's developmental and unstable... [04:07] GabeN: regardless it's not supported here. not sure if #ubuntu+1 covers unity 8 or not. [04:09] noooooo [04:09] TJ-: im still ending up in this stupid thinkvantage lenovo crap [04:10] private231_: did you ensure you forced the Legacy/BIOS boot mode in the firmware ? [04:10] went in through bios, no different [04:10] TJ-: oh i thought i was automatic, how do i? [04:10] I’m trying to use my Ubuntu HTPC as a client for Steam in-home streaming. [04:10] BIOS firmware? [04:11] whoops, that was supposed to have the rest of my problem... [04:11] private231_: That depends on the system. At boot time there's usually a hot-key you can press to get to the manual boot device chooser [04:11] ForSpareParts: even without the rest... have you considered SteamOS? [04:11] TJ-: grub boot device chooser? [04:12] TJ-: i dont reach grub [04:12] private231_: no, nothing to do with GRUB or Linux. The PC's firmware [04:12] private231_: there's usually hot-keys to enter firmware Setup, and also for firmware's manual boot menu [04:12] TJ-: so inside bios screen? [04:13] nicomachus: I hadn’t given it much thought. I’ve been using Ubuntu to run XBMC/Kodi for years, and it seemed like there wasn’t much point in moving over — since I still wanted to do other stuff with it. [04:13] private231_: often Setup is F2 or Del, and the boot menu is something like F8, F10, F12 or one of those higher-up keys - it should be displated (briefly) on-screen as soon as the PC starts [04:13] Anyhow: My problem is that games I stream from my Windows machine appear substantially darker on the client than on the host. So much so that in-game brightness adjustments don’t help. [04:14] I can set max brightness in game and things are still too dark on the client, but then, when I look at the host, everything’s CRAZY washed out (as I’d expect). [04:14] ok brb [04:15] private231_: GRUB is installed correctly so if you choose that disk, and Legacy/BIOS/CSM boot mode, it should boot from it. That involves the PC firmware's BIOS emulation reading sector 0 (the MBR) from the disk, which contains the GRUB bootstrap code, which then reads GRUB's core image from /dev/sda1, which then displays the GRUB menu and/or autoboots the default entry in the grub.cfg [04:15] I’m running some Radeon card (don’t recall which one) using the open-source drivers. Any ideas/suggestions? [04:15] ForSpareParts: is this only in fullscreen or windowed mode? Or both? [04:16] nicomachus: I’ve only tried fullscreen, so far. [04:16] ForSpareParts: do you have a stream going right now you can test something on? [04:16] I can bring one up, sure. [04:17] ok. are you doing this through steam big picture mode? [04:17] yep [04:17] Hello, i have this usb webcam that worked and now it dosent, i think installed some stuff to change thwe settings but i dont remeber what, anyway it worked yesterday and now it dosent [04:17] when running cheese libv4l2: error turning on stream: Input/output error [04:18] lapinozz, the uvc site shuold say if the device is fully supported [04:18] yesssssssssssssss [04:18] well it did work [04:18] private231: I take it you figured it out ? [04:18] i just fucked it up [04:18] <[Mew2]> how do i delete a file [04:18] <[Mew2]> from command [04:18] TJ-: it was this secureboot thing blocking legacy [04:18] !language | lapinozz [04:18] lapinozz: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [04:18] lapinozz, http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/ [04:18] sorry [04:18] TJ-: WELL DONE!

[04:19] sudo rm /var/log/openvpn.log [04:19] i will donate some change to ubuntu in honour of #ubuntu :D [04:19] [Mew2]: you shouldn't, you should logrotate it [04:19] <[Mew2]> nicomachus it will be recreated anyways [04:19] TJ-: i dont remember it ever being enable so idk what happened there [04:19] <[Mew2]> its a fresh install anywas [04:19] it's an openvpn log so obviously privacy is in mind [04:19] <[Mew2]> this is a test server [04:19] nicomachus: what do you want me to try with my stream? [04:19] private231: well at least its fixed now [04:20] <[Mew2]> please whats the command [04:20] TJ-: :DDDD [04:20] ForSpareParts: try going down to windowed mode. [04:20] sudo rm /var/log/openvpn.log [04:20] <[Mew2]> ty [04:20] nicomachus: Is there a way to do that while the stream is running? [04:20] 7CHEERS FOR #UBUNTU [04:20] HIPHIP [04:20] HIPHIP [04:20] Or do you mean, force the game itself into windowed mode on the host? [04:21] ForSpareParts: no you want to do it on the client. shift-tab may do it.. [04:21] nicomachus: No luck with shift-tab. [04:21] how can i reset every every webcam related package? [04:21] haha ok well sweet dreams TJ [04:21] private231: night :) [04:21] <[Mew2]> sudo service fail2ban start [04:21] <[Mew2]> * Starting authentication failure monitor fail2ban ERROR No file(s) found for glob /var/log/openvpn.log [04:21] <[Mew2]> ERROR Failed during configuration: Have not found any log file for openvpn jail [04:22] <[Mew2]> so the app is unable to recreate that file?

[04:22] [Mew2], restart openvpn. the file will get created. [04:23] <[Mew2]> ok [04:23] then to delete it next time just clear it [04:23] <[Mew2]> worked thanks :) [04:23] either sudo echo ' ' > /var/log/openvpn.log [04:24] nicomachus: Figured it out, it was alt-enter to go windowed. [04:24] or sudo rm /var/log/openvpn.log && sudo touch $_ [04:24] nicomachus: The brightness problem persists. [04:26] <[Mew2]> thanks [04:28] well... apparently the "power" button in steam big picture mode actually shuts down the system... [04:28] nicomachus, so? [04:29] ForSpareParts: what's the graphics chipset on the client? [04:31] nicomachus: According to lspci: Radeon HD 6450/7450/8450 / R5 230 OEM [04:31] (I don’t remember which of those it actually is) [04:31] ForSpareParts: do you know if you're using the radeon or the fglrx driver? [04:31] radeon [04:32] I tried fglrx for a while, but at some point Kodi didn’t like it. Kodi’s been updated since, though, so maybe I should try my luck with fglrx again? [04:33] Ok. I'm looking at this: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/homestream/discussions/0/522728814097031600/ [04:34] regardless, I don't *think* it's an ubuntu issue. Probably a better question for Steam. You may be able to adjust gamma settings somewhere, though, to at least get a better picture. [04:35] nicomachus: I tried forcing the host into windowed earlier, just to see what happened — no effect. And Steam doesn’t seem to have gamma settings of its own, unfortunately. [04:36] If it is a Steam problem, that’s unfortunate. Their customer service is… not great. [04:36] Thanks for trying to help, though! [04:36] i need a laptop with no bios, but freebios or similar, that can be edited [04:36] please name models [04:37] lettuce45: why [04:37] to buy it [04:38] ForSpareParts: could it be the video driver or xorg [04:38] iAmerikan: Possibly! If it were the video driver, I imagine I’d fix that by switching to fglrx, right? [04:38] Not sure what I’d do if it were an xorg problem. === Turnip_Green1 is now known as Turnip_Green [04:40] you could try [04:40] xorg has logs at least [04:46] hey guys, i'm having issues with setting up a cronjob. the job runs fine via crontab -u user -e. when i run the script manually it works. but when running via crontab it doesnt. the script does this: sed -r "s/bind\s=\s[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}/bind = $CURRENT_VPN_IP_TUN0/g" /home/user/IP > /home/user/IP.tmp [04:46] lettuce45, http://www.coreboot.org/Support might be a starting point [04:47] when crontab executes the script, it makes "bind = " as the output. when it should be "bind = x.x.x.x" [04:48] earlier in the script i do create the variable CURRENT_VPN_IP_TUN0 as seen here: CURRENT_VPN_IP_TUN0=$(ifconfig | grep -A 1 tun0 | tail -1 | cut -d ':' -f 2 | cut -d ' ' -f 1) [04:56] phi0x: dont parse "ifconfig" output, use "ip" [04:56] other than that maybe your issue is that by the time the command runs (early at boot?) the network interface you are looking for is not present or not up yet? [04:57] tomreyn, i think i figured it out (at least one work around option) i added PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/home/user at the top of my script and it seemed to allow 'sed' to read the variable. [04:57] i was going to suggest modifying the executing shell and PATH next [04:58] ;) === Arbition is now known as Arbiter [04:58] im not sure why the PATH line needed to be added exactly..it works but im a bit confused why it's needed for 'sed' to read variables? the script itself has variables in it and bash seemed to read them just fine [04:58] but sed apparently has issues reading variables inside scripts if crontab runs it? [04:59] also i would recommend using ${CURRENT_VPN_IP_TUN0} within the sed construct if you run it through a bash shell, just because i find it more readable [04:59] tomreyn, what's that mean exactly? [05:00] the curly brackets indicate start end end of what is a variable and to be replaced there [05:00] Can I run ubuntu iso in a virtual machine to install to a usb stick? [05:00] ah kk [05:01] phi0x: while the following slash actually acts as a delimiter, indicating the variable ends there, aan alpha-numerical character would instead extend the variable name. [05:01] ooo [05:01] ramenlicious: yes you can [05:02] ramenlicious: if you already run linux you can also just dd it, or use reawrite on windows [05:02] *rawwrite [05:04] tomreyn: thanks i have tried unetbootin gnome-disks dd lili live-usb-creator and nothing works, even though it works on my other computer (same usb stick too!) so I'm at a loss. [05:04] Hey guys so i this person on the fourm suggested to fix the black screen i install nvidia-340 nvidia-340-uvm [05:04] I did that and rebooted and i got a black screen [05:04] And he said my card was compatibile [05:04] Ill try rawwrite' [05:04] Heres the fourm link [05:05] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2308317 [05:06] Does that mean i have to purge nvidia?

[05:14] *tried [05:14] actually i think that's QT based now, not gtk anymore [05:16] tomreyn: did try it, it wouldnt even let me choose the iso so I couldnt even burn it (it's a documented bug on that wiki link) [05:17] ramenlicious, I just log in, are you trying to boot from usb? [05:18] I need support [05:19] You can do it, Dylan____! [05:19] Trying to browse the web and my ubuntu desktop freezes [05:19] Like it freezes for somereason and i keep having to turn it off at the switch [05:20] Its never happened to me before so im not sure if its a glitch a bug in ubuntu [05:20] ramenlicious, is your bios set to boot from usb? [05:22] ramenlicious: so what about the other options, how do they "not work"? [05:23] Dylan____: which ubuntu version do you use, which grpahic hardware do you have, when did this issue start occurring, and wwhich changes have you made that may have made it occur? [05:24] tomreyn: muka: I just remembered network install is not supported in usb, only cd. thats probably why it wont boot. I had this problem before; ended up installing server iso instead DOH!!! [05:24] Ill download the server one and try it again [05:24] Dylan____, have you check dmesg? [05:24] Dylan____: if you don't know about the graphics card, run this: sudo lspci -knnv | grep -A10 VGA [05:26] ramenlicious, I use debian and network install works, so I think ubuntu should work as well. [05:26] Ok first of all i got ubuntu 14.04.3 and i started occuring this freezing after files manager nautailus would hang up now it doesnt and now firefox is hanging up on websites like google, youtube etc [05:26] Its never happened before [05:26] And ill pastebin contents back === sweatsuit_ is now known as sweatsuit [05:28] Http://paste.ubuntu.com/14383090/ thats the dmesg one [05:28] muka if you know how, do let me know [05:28] muka / ramenlicious: there is no netinstall on ubuntu (anymore), at least not officially. [05:28] if i install compiz on unity.. then i change desktops to MATE, will compiz be carried over to MATE? [05:28] because the server iso is too big Id hate to re-download it again muka [05:28] there is mini.iso. though, which should work fine for this purpose. [05:29] yes it's the mini iso im talking about, supposedly doesnt work from usb [05:30] ramenlicious, sorry, but first is your bios set to boot from usb first? [05:30] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD states it works from usb [05:31] muka yes this laptop already has ubuntu on it which was installed from usb, and i hit f12 to boot from usb [05:31] ahh the lspci knvv command you gave me whoever is not a command and it came up with 1 + stopped [05:31] usb is first in boot order muka [05:33] Ahh guys well i think i might have to switch browsers [05:34] Firefox whyy u do this [05:34] ok, now go to your working computer and copy iso to usb. dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sd?. where /dev/ you can find by sudo fdisk -l [05:35] if i install compiz on unity.. then i change desktops to MATE, will compiz be carried over to MATE? [05:35] you can also check dmesg immediatly after plugging in the usb [05:36] HappyHippie: either way its installed, so if its not, you can run it manually or add it to an autostart. (i dont use either but this should apply either way) [05:37] Guys when i right click on the desktop i highlight something and theres like pixlated sprite images and messed up things on it [05:40] Dylan____: try again, you must have had a typo: sudo lspci -knnv | grep -A10 VGA [05:40] Dylan____, I think you should research: nouveau W[ PCE0][0000:04:00.0] disabled, PCE0=1 to enable [05:41] Dylan____: can we concentrate on fixing one issue at a time? i think your computer freezing, possibly due to the nourveau driver not being compatible to your graphics hardware, seems like a good initial target.

[06:04] and to you [06:05] there is the openjdk as packaged in ubuntu, which comes in multiple flavors, and there is oracles proprietary jdk [06:06] tomreyn, i do java -version [06:06] java version "1.7.0_91" [06:06] django_: ^^ but beware, versions not in the repos arent supported here...see !ppa [06:06] django_: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-java-on-ubuntu-with-apt-get [06:06] what versio do you need [06:06] i'd try the openjdk first, only switch to oracles if it turns out not to work [06:07] it just says install the java JDK but they only have a guide for windows/mac [06:07] " In this class we have tested our files with Java versions 7 and 8, so if you have anything older than that, you’ll want to upgrade." [06:07] django_, I provided a link to help you [06:08] 1.7 is 7 iirc [06:08] so don't worry about installing anything? [06:08] openjdk-8 is packaged for ubuntu, so no need to use oracles' packjages [06:08] !java > django_ also message !latest and !ppa to ubottu [06:08] django_, please see my private message [06:08] right, 1.87 is the same as 7 [06:08] right, 1.7 is the same as 7 [06:09] then he doesn't need to install -- keep it simple [06:09] django_: so you should be good to go, nothing to do [06:09] go forth and System.out.println("Conquer!\n"); [06:12] django_: actually you might just have the JRE but not the JDK installed. you can check whether you have the JDK by runniong: dpkg -l 'openjdk-7-*'| awk '/^i/ {print $2}' [06:13] tomreyn, "openjdk-7-jdk:amd64 [06:13] " [06:14] django_: you're all set [06:14] cool ty! === nolsen is now known as GabeN === wolverine is now known as Guest15382 [06:23] can't seem to access my user account. it is locked, and when i click on it , it is still saying it is locked. i am only able to use my computer through my guest account [06:25] can anyone help me out, thanks [06:30] mick could sure use a helping hand, thanks [06:35] any suggestions on how to unlock my user account. i do not have any administrative privileges [06:39] Im only had ubuntu 14.04 on this tomey [06:40] mick_: i tried to helo you with the exact same issue about 24 hours ago [06:40] Tomreyn sorry i was busy but im back now what did you want me to type in? [06:40] yes thanks i gave up it was getting late [06:40] mick_: if i remember well we did not succeed since you did not respond to half of my questions [06:41] whats something you can do on ubuntu, but not on freebsd? [06:41] 1 am where i am right now [06:41] ya sorry i am not that good with computers [06:43] Dylan____: which ubuntu version do you use, which graphics hardware do you have, when did this issue start occurring, and which changes have you made that may have made it occur? [06:43] Dylan____: if you don't know about the graphics card, run this: sudo lspci -knnv | grep -A10 VGA [06:44] Ok [06:44] I run ubuntu 14.04lts i have a nvidia 320m this started occuring when i tried to move files and as far as i know i dont remember making changes or editing something [06:45] Http://paste.ubuntu.com/14383090/ thats the dmesg one [06:45] [ 18.458242] nouveau E[ PBUS][0000:04:00.0] MMIO write of 0x0000807f FAULT at 0x100c18 [06:45] [ 18.541371] nouveau E[ PBUS][0000:04:00.0] MMIO write of 0x0000807e FAULT at 0x100c1c [06:45] thse are the errors you have in your kernel log [06:45] So I downloaded and burned kali live to a disk and I was looking to dual boot that and my current OS (Ubuntu) But my problem is that I partitioned all of my HDD during install. I did however set up LVM. So maybe I can resize? [06:46] mick_: no problem [06:46] Ok [06:46] I brought up my lspci thingy [06:46] Let me paste bin it [06:47] :/ sorry [06:49] zacwalls: yes you can resize, it's not that easy, though, and you need to take backups before you do this [06:49] tomreyn backup what? [06:49] so i was trying the ctrl+alt+F1 SO WHEN I LOG IN WAS SHOULD I PUT. WHEN I DID PRESS THOSE KEYS THIS WINDOW THAT WE ARE COMMUNICATING ON, DISAPPEARS [06:50] zacwalls: the data on your computer that you would like to be able to restore in case you, say, break a partition during an attamept to resize things. [06:50] here you go tomy [06:50] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14383746/ [06:51] See if that helps [06:51] tomreyn, OK, I don't have any important data. So, do I use GParted or something? [06:51] mick_: you can switch back to the graphical display by pressing either ctrl-alt-f7 or -f8. [06:52] mick_: the reason i suggested top login on the text interface was to make sure you can actually login fine. apparently you can. [06:52] mick_: do you have a separate computer which works fine? [06:53] NO SORRY THIS IS IT [06:53] Dylan____: thanks. so the question i asked earlier which you have not really answered concretely, yet, is whether you every had ubuntu running reliably and stable, without things freezing, on this computer. [06:54] mick_: you mean you only have this one, right? [06:54] I had it running stable [06:54] How can I know if dmix is being used on a system where PulseAudio is enabled? [06:54] yes [06:54] Like im never had a problem with ubuntu [06:54] Until some how today [06:55] Im kinda a noob when it comes to linux [06:56] Dylan____: but didn't you experience the same issues yesterday? [06:56] No [06:56] okay, mixed it up then, sorry [06:56] for how long was it running stable? [06:56] That was like nvidia drivers things i had to purge nvidia to get a working desktop enviro,emt [06:56] It was running stable since i downloaded it on my macbook pro [06:57] mick_: okay, so i would suggest you try to look up on the ubuntu documentation how to reset unity. that'S the graphical desktop environment which ubuntu provides [06:57] mick_: that way you should be able to login fine using your standard user account again [06:58] i don't know how to do it myself, so woul dhave to searhc as well [06:59] tomreyn, So, would I use GParted the program or the bootable flash drive ISO version? [06:59] Dylan____: roughly for how long ago did you run the current ubuntu release on this macbook pro fine? [06:59] 2 days ago [06:59] zacwalls: bootable media [07:00] tomreyn, damn, so if I resize, what is the risk I screw everything? [07:00] zacwalls: i'm not sure it would work, though. i know you can do it without rebooting on the command line, and i did it before, but it's not easy when you have never done it. [07:00] zacwalls: pretty high ;) depends on how often you did it before. [07:01] tomreyn, will you walk me through? [07:01] I am kinda freaked out now lol [07:01] zacwalls: if you'll do it manually you'll need to take into account that there are several layers you need to resize. first you need to shrink the file system, then the logical volume it is on. then you can add another locical volume and create the other file system there. [07:02] since there are other people looking for help currently i don't think i can walk you through in more detail currently === uber is now known as Guest1996 [07:03] tomreyn :/ ok [07:03] thus the suggestion to try the gparted live cd, which provides a graphical intertface [07:03] tomreyn OK, youtube here I come lol === realtime is now known as realtime_ [07:03] Hmm === GabeN is now known as SpyCrab [07:05] So tomreyn what have u come up with [07:05] OK, i will look for it and try. thanks [07:05] if you want to do it manually, you would use resize2fs to resize the file system, then either lvreduce or lvresizeto shrink the lv. then lvcreate to create a new lv, then "lvchange -a y" to activate it, and then you possible want to create a file system there (i forgot the overall goal you had) using mkfs.ext4 [07:06] zacwalls: ^ [07:06] tomreyn, the goal was to install kali [07:06] Dylan____: 2 days sin't exactly long, i'm willing to assume that this issue existed right from the start, but maybe did not trigger then [07:07] Well idk [07:07] zacwalls: ah, then that part is off-topic here and i discussed all the preparatory steps. good luck! [07:07] mick_: good luck1 [07:07] But my graphics had like fuzzy weird shaped things when rightclicked [07:08] tomreyn, Yeah, I am not that advanced lol. I might ask in kali [07:08] The system settings were all highlighted when i moved my mouse over the icons [07:08] Dylan____: during those 2 days after the installation, you say? [07:08] No [07:08] It happened today [07:08] Before those two days it was all fine [07:08] zacwalls: and good luck to you, too [07:08] tomreyn, thx :) [07:08] Dylan____: but you made no major changes during these two days? [07:09] like switch graphics drivers or upgrading ubuntu or the like?

[07:26] Because there isn't. [07:28] if i install compiz on unity.. then i change desktops to MATE, will compiz be carried over to MATE? [07:32] Thats right [07:36] Guys?

[08:35] then only that directory and the files in there may or may not have been deleted.

[09:34] ufk_: there is a program called 'badblocks' in the e2fsprogs package [09:34] thanks [09:35] cisc, in nautilus there is an arrow shown right to the name of the drive [09:35] pragdheesh: try #ubuntu-offtopic, this is a support channel [09:35] cisc, I clicked that [09:35] cisc, that probably is unmount [09:35] cisc, lsusb is showing the name of the drive [09:36] did usa intel supply isis with weapons like they did with al-qaeda to justify creating wars?

[09:36] cisc, but lsblk or fdisk are not showing [09:36] cisc, they are only showing mounted partitions [09:36] that sounds like eject, not unmount [09:37] cisc whats the difference then [09:37] which still unmounts, but you won't be able to mount it again until you pull the USB key out & re-insert it [09:37] http://i.stack.imgur.com/wOPxz.png [09:40] cisc, thats fine... but since lsusb is detecting the device then there should be some way to connect it? [09:45] reveredge: you can use umount or sync from the command line if you are planning on re-inserting the USB key [09:47] reveredge: what you are wanting to do probably can't be done unless you restart the USB port the device is on, which gets into another technical level [09:47] cisc, usb port can be restarted from command line [09:48] the device node gets wiped out when you eject it from Nautilus [09:50] reveredge: you could give this a try `eject /dev/sdb; sleep 1; eject -t /dev/sdb` [09:50] my keyboard layout is bugged [09:51] where 'sdb' is the name of your drive [09:54] thanks cisc for the valuable inforamtion [09:54] no problem [09:54] hi guys... I've read that it's possible to back up my /root partition to an external drive.. then in the future incase i need to reinstall my OS i can copy my backedup /root to my new install is this true??? [09:56] HappyHippie: yes, but kind of pointless, just backup your /home [09:56] oops thats what i meant [09:56] thank you Ben64 [09:56] no problem [09:56] so how would i paste my backed up /home to my new install? [09:57] i would use rsync to back up, and could use rsync to restore too [09:57] reveredge: i have the same problem. i've gotten as far as that i can query the usb stick with "udevadm info --query=all --name=/dev/sdb" but don't know how to get the /dev/sdb device back without plugging it back again [09:57] cant i do a GUI copy by rightclicking it and pasteing it into my external drive? [09:58] reveredge: this is under kubuntu 14.04.3 [09:58] HappyHippie: i suppose, but rsync is faster/better and it will only copy the files it needs to [09:58] great! thanks again Ben64 [09:59] HappyHippie: like suppose you back up every month. you could copy the entire /home every time, or you can just copy the changed/new files. thats where rsync really shines [09:59] my keyboard layout bugged ,how can i change it ? [10:01] does anybody know a lightweight gtk music video player ? [10:03] Peyam: mpv ? [10:03] what? [10:03] mpv. its a program. plays video, audio, whatever [10:03] I have no sound. Ubuntu doesnt recognise my headphones when I plug them in the headphone jack. When I plug them into the microphone jack they show up, but I still get no sound. How do I fix this? [10:03] is it the whole nae? [10:04] no_sound how old is your motherboard? [10:04] Ben64, is it gtk? and support streamin? [10:04] what streamin [10:04] Ben64, like playing a url? [10:04] yep [10:05] its comand line plaer+ [10:05] you said lightweight [10:06] it not opening [10:07] HappyHippie: new, its a Z170XP-SLI from gigabyte [10:07] Peyam: you need to give it something to play [10:08] linux doesnt support some very modern (uncommon) hardware.. [10:08] yes. I would like a GUI variant [10:08] Peyam: why? it works great on command line [10:09] Ben64, my mobile is not recognised in ../media/ [10:09] I don't know why [10:09] Peyam: what? [10:09] no_sound does the sound work in windows? [10:09] I have my mobile plugged in to the computer. I can see it in file manager but not as mounted in ../media/ [10:09] my keyboard layout bugged ,how can i change it ? i use lubuntu [10:10] Peyam: yeah because it's likely using mtp, its not really mounted [10:10] HappyHippie: yes, it works in windows 10 [10:10] Ben64, this is showing mtp://[usb:002,013]/ [10:10] Peyam: when nautilus mounts it with gvfs then its not in /media [10:10] Ben64, so how do I address it? [10:10] Peyam: copy the files to your computer first [10:10] have you tried playing with audio properties? [10:10] Ben64, that's why Im tring to avoid [10:11] nooo. you are right [10:11] i copy it instead [10:11] Peyam: well you can't always get what you want. you can double click them and it might work in totem, but totem is an inferior media player [10:11] have you tried playing with audio properties no_sound ? [10:12] is it detected by ubuntu? === zenlot2 is now known as zenlot [10:12] no_sound: pastebin the output of "lspci | grep Audio" [10:12] gtg bbl [10:13] HappyHippie: Ben64 It looks like sound does work when I put it my headphones in the microphone jack [10:14] since I'm not sure if I connected the jacks properly to the motherboard this is probably my own fault ;) [10:14] plug it into the rear ports [10:15] Ben64: I'd rather not, since that gives me a lot of static from the PSU [10:15] uh, do it anyway [10:16] why, my sound works now, and without static [10:17] Ben64, parole works fine === sergio is now known as Guest6765 [10:31] How do I start pulseaudio-module-jack in terminal?
