If you must persist, I suggest you install the "libsqlite3-dev" package which should provide the missing header file [00:09] BackBroke12, now I have this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14602691/ [00:09] mcphail, thank you for the hint! sure, doing it now [00:09] Run as sudo, Your installing to the /var directory === hdrv is now known as hdrvhd [00:11] BackBroke12, I got the same error as before === 7JTAAA711 is now known as foobarbecue [00:11] I mean this one: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14602632/ [00:12] Did you run `gem install sqlite3 -v '1.3.8'` as sudo or bundle install --without production [00:12] hope it works after lib install [00:13] yes, I ran it as sudo [00:14] tried after libsqlite3-dev is installed, and bundle install is completed now! [00:14] Please don't run gem install as sudo unless (a) you really want to and (b) you really know what you are doing [00:15] mcphail, BackBroke12 thank you very much!

When I try to start Unrest, I get the error: ./Unrest: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL2-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [00:21] <_SLM_> I searched online first, but found no useful answer [00:21] mcphail, if it's a ruby problem, sure..but I wonder if they can help with any ubuntu-related fix [00:21] hi All [00:21] <_SLM_> So idea what a so.0 file is either [00:22] mcphail ubottu Apologies I have never heard of popcorn. I just search youtube and posted the first link. I though it was just some useless media server. [00:22] i am looking for a DLNA manager (GUI) any pointers? [00:22] <_SLM_> *No idea [00:22] Clutch: that isn't ubuntu-related at that point - you're deep into Ruby country there ;) [00:22] i have tried Rygel and minidlna [00:22] _SLM_: have you tried installing SDL2 from the package manager? [00:22] mcphail, I felt myself like that, too :) [00:25] <_SLM_> mcphail I did that, now I got this error: ./Unrest: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL2_image-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [00:25] _SLM_: what error did you get before? [00:26] <_SLM_> Before it was ./Unrest: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL2-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [00:26] _SLM_: oops - misread. Yes, install SDL2-image as well [00:26] _SLM_: you might need SDL2-mixer and SDL2_ttf as well [00:27] <_SLM_> yeah, mixer was next [00:27] <_SLM_> maybe ttf will follow hehe [00:27] _SLM_: this is a game you've downloaded from somewhere, I presume? [00:28] doesnt that ship a depencies list? [00:28] <_SLM_> The Humble Bundle website. first time user [00:28] <_SLM_> I previously used GOG.com (which IMO is easier, but more expensive) [00:28] _SLM_: check the install directory. There might be a list of dependencies supplied [00:29] <_SLM_> I'll check [00:29] <_SLM_> good suggestion [00:31] <_SLM_> No list found. But I did see in /lib a hint and what deps will come next. Not a long list if those are all [00:31] <_SLM_> *at [00:33] <_SLM_> It ran and then I got a bunch of in-game errors and it closed [00:34] Anyone else on ancient computers running lubuntu or xubuntu?

It works now! :) [00:34] <_SLM_> Thanks for helping [00:35] jesse___: Lubuntu if the name old or slow is involved [00:35] I'm old and slow [00:35] so i'm a perfect candidate [00:36] _SLM_: enjoy! [00:36] jesse___: :) lubuntu is made for that [00:36] hi [00:36] Can someone tell me how to suppress joins and quits? I'm an irc newb [00:36] Hi mena [00:37] fine [00:37] or is it client by client? [00:37] hey all anyway to force apt-get to assume defaults for the Y or N questions for when a package and local copies modified a file?

Like add an entry "Mark Of The Ninja Special Edition" that runs /bin/ninja-bin64 -nocontroller [00:40] nicomachus: thank you -- and thank you all [00:40] <_SLM_> Preferably with icon [00:41] sarkis: there is still --force-yes [00:42] exit [00:42] exit [00:44] K i have the smartfilter installed now in irssi i think...

You'll see examples in there already [00:47] <_SLM_> Thank you! [00:53] libreoffice [00:54] twss [00:54] <_SLM_> mcphail I did it and double checked, but it doesn't show up in unity eye [00:54] <_SLM_> I followed the examples [00:55] _SLM_: If you're sure about your syntax and paths, try logging out and logging back in [00:56] <_SLM_> http://pastebin.com/DbDV83x0 <- this is correct, right? [00:57] <_SLM_> okay [00:58] found it...

[01:02] <_SLM_> exactly [01:02] _SLM_: if you copy the desktop file to ~/Desktop/ does it show on your desktop? [01:03] <_SLM_> It does not [01:05] _SLM_: odd. Remove everything bar [Desktop Entry], Name line, Icon line and Exec line [01:07] <_SLM_> I didn't. Still not showing on desktop but the file did suddenly get an icon in nautilus [01:07] <_SLM_> *I did [01:07] <_SLM_> (heh) [01:07] * mcphail notes the original file shows on his computer [01:08] <_SLM_> Hey, when I drag&drop the file from the ~/Desktop folder to my actual desktop it does show up [01:08] <_SLM_> Oh! I think I know what it might be [01:09] <_SLM_> I have a conky manager widget that might be hiding the icon [01:09] maybe [01:09] <_SLM_> if in the left top corner [01:09] anyone using a GTX980 with Ubuntu 15.10? [01:10] _SLM_: does it work if you double click on it? [01:10] <_SLM_> I'm fairly sure now. When I drag it towards that corner, it dissapears [01:10] <_SLM_> checking [01:10] <_SLM_> It says there was an error executing the file [01:10] _SLM_: you might need to tweak that Exec line as I don't think the -nocontroller flag belongs in the quotes [01:12] <_SLM_> Changed it, didn't make a difference [01:12] <_SLM_> Changed to: Exec="/home/dennis/Games/Mark of the Ninja Special Edition/bin/ninja-bin64" -nocontroller [01:13] _SLM_: definitely changed the right one? Didn't change it in the one which is hidden behind conky? What is output of "ls ~/Desktop/*.desktop"? [01:14] <_SLM_> File or directory does not exist [01:14] <_SLM_> it says [01:15] <_SLM_> Ah, it's because I have a non-English Ubuntu [01:16] <_SLM_> 1 sec [01:16] <_SLM_> The output is 1 line: /home/dennis/Bureaublad/Mark of the Ninja Special Edition.desktop [01:17] Serious errors were found while checking the disk for /. This is the error im getting when im trying to first boot ubuntu, can anyone help me out? [01:17] <_SLM_> The icon is currently not hidden behind conky [01:18] _SLM_: it sounds as if you're _almost_ there. Can I leave you to experiment/tweak the Exec line? (Paths with spaces always cause problems). I need to get to bed as I have work in a few hours [01:19] <_SLM_> Off course, thank you so much for helping me today :) [01:19] _SLM_: hope you get it fixed. Goodnight :) [01:20] <_SLM_> Thanks.

[01:42] im not sure why "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer" did not work [01:42] vacho had tried "#bash"? [01:42] im using chromium ... would tha tbe a reason?

I can CTRL-ALT-F1 and login but nothing graphical.. pics: http://imgur.com/a/pMWfV Help me troubleshoot please. :) [02:13] darn it. facebook and youtube still not playing vids nicomachus [02:13] i restarted the browers too [02:13] do i need a restart? [02:14] !nomodeset | joob First try this [02:14] joob First try this: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [02:14] ok so firefox plays!! [02:14] but chromium doesnt [02:14] HappyHippie, protip: I found chrome works great with youtube(flash). chromium not so much [02:15] the problem with my version of firefox is that it's very old... i tried uninstalling and reinstalling but still only installed the old version [02:15] my yahoo.com mail account says that my firefox is too old [02:16] how do i download chrome or a newer version of firefox? [02:16] HappyHippie: sudo apt-get update , then sudo apt-get install firefox [02:17] Hi. Fresh install of Gnome Ubuntu 14.04. Installer booted ok but the GUI aspect of the OS(installed) won't boot. I can CTRL-ALT-F1 and login but nothing graphical.. pics: http://imgur.com/a/pMWfV Help me troubleshoot please. :) [02:18] joob: did you try nomodeset as genii suggest? [02:18] joob: are you the tty right now? [02:20] nicomachus: i installed firefox .. when i go to yahoo.com this is the msg i get " You're seeing Basic Mail because you're using an unsupported Internet browser" [02:20] can you help me download crome? [02:20] HappyHippie: if you type "firefox --version" into your terminal, what do you get? [02:20] HappyHippie: then that sounds like a problem with yahoo [02:20] HappyHippie, why can't you go on www.google.com/chrome and do it yourself? [02:20] 43.0.4 [02:21] nicomachus: single hyphen [02:21] genii: apparently both work [02:21] Interesting [02:22] i went to app center and uninstalled then reinstalled but got htthe samemsg [02:23] HappyHippie: that is the newest version of Firefox, so it does sounds like a problem with yahoo, as Ben64 said. [02:23] how do i install chrome using apt-get please nicomachus? [02:23] you go to google.com/chrome and download it [02:24] HappyHippie: it's best to download it from the google chrome website and it'll install a ppa and it'll keep the updated version [02:24] using apt-get Ben64? [02:25] HappyHippie: google-chrome-stable is proprietary, as such it is not in our repo. You must get it from google . [02:26] Bashing-om: Isn't nVidia shipped from Ubuntu repositories? [02:26] I was just looking at that, for an install planned for tomorrow. [02:26] Alternately, install User Agent Switcher addon for Firefox, tell it to lie to Yahoo [02:27] ChibaPet: Nvidia does provide us their drivers . affirmed . [02:28] I'm new enough to Ubuntu that I'm not wildly familiar with this whole PPA concept, so, good. Less to worry about as I spin up. :) [02:28] Hm. Then again, a quick web search leads me to http://askubuntu.com/questions/4983/what-are-ppas-and-how-do-i-use-them. Reading now. [02:29] ChibaPet: Yep, Best practice, avoid PPAs 'til you know . [02:29] avoid copy/paste of one-liners too unless you understand them :) [02:30] joob: but, curl docker-things | /bin/sh! [02:31] Oh. That does remind me, though... I have a vague recollection of seeing that Ubuntu ships some sort of tool(s) for managing containers, and I thought it was based on LXC or a modified LXC. Is this a thing? Searching, but I'm curious. I eventually want to replace some FreeBSD jails. [02:31] what other browser can i use? [02:31] aside from firefox? [02:31] HappyHippie: Firefox, Chrome, Chromium, um, Konqueror, and there are some others. [02:32] HappyHippie: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsers [02:33] Hi. Fresh install of Gnome Ubuntu 14.04. Installer booted ok but the GUI aspect of the OS(installed) won't boot. I can CTRL-ALT-F1 and login but nothing graphical.. pics: http://imgur.com/a/pMWfV Help me troubleshoot please. :) [02:34] Hello? [02:34] hi [02:34] joob: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia has some reading for you [02:34] joob: press ctrl+alt+f1 [02:35] When installing ubuntu, is there any way to choose what bootloader to use? I would rather use the choose and os menu built into windows [02:35] joob: The page, in case you don't have a browser handy, suggests, among other things: sudo ubuntu-drivers devices [02:35] im on another pc right now [02:35] i can boot with recovery mode on the laptop just not regular way [02:36] joob: See what it recommends for drivers there, as one idea. [02:36] joob: ok, boot the normal way and press ctrl+alt+f1 and login [02:36] How do i use the windows bootloader when installing ubuntu. This will be the first laptop i've installed it on. [02:37] mycatdaphne: The short answer is You can't [02:37] grub is better for dual booting since you can configure it within ubuntu if you need to [02:37] Is there any way that i can use the os selection tool built into windows, instead of using grub [02:37] mycatdaphne: ask ##windows [02:37] just running the cmd ChibaPet suggested [02:37] mycatdaphne: If Windows controls the booting instead of Grub, it refuses to see Ubuntu ( any many other OS as well) [02:37] mycatdaphne: Oh, is it a UEFI laptop? You probably can then. [02:38] genii: maybe he can add it as a bcd entry? if he's using uefi? [02:38] I'm not sure. It is and HP Pavilion X360 with H20 Insyde BIOS [02:38] anyways /join ##windows and ask there [02:38] EriC^^: Thats why the LONG answer is "maybe" [02:38] k [02:39] mycatdaphne: A web search suggests that that is indeed a UEFI system. I'm not sure what Windows is doing, but Ubuntu will install the right things in a UEFI boot directory. Hard to say if Windows will present it without prodding or not. [02:40] nah.. didnt work [02:40] im outa time.. ill reinstall and pray later [02:40] joob: What did you do? [02:41] I tried going to windows, no one responded === Sam_ is now known as mycatdaphne [02:42] mycatdaphne: What version of Windows? [02:42] 8.1 [02:42] Hi guys, I have an HP Elitebook 8560P and after installation went successful, the operating system won't boot. It says "Boot device not found" ... has anyone ever experienced this? [02:42] bosi: are you dual booting? [02:43] EriC^^, nope, only linux. I saw this thread, seemed similar to what I am experiencing, but not sure: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2238714 [02:43] bosi: ok, i know what's probably wrong [02:43] no worries, can you boot a live usb? [02:43] mycatdaphne: Some reading for you: http://www.zdnet.com/article/seven-ways-to-set-up-multi-booting-with-windows-8-and-linux/ [02:43] ill look at that, brb [02:44] EriC^^, yes, live USB works just fine. that's how I did the installation. [02:44] bosi: ok, boot it up [02:46] EriC^^, I just installed manjaro thinking that maybe it was an ubuntu thing. Still ok if I boot from the Manjaro flashdrive? [02:46] yeah it's fine as long as you get a live environment [02:47] bosi: so you don't have ubuntu installed? [02:48] Ben64, I had, but after this error I switched to Manjaro which the problem is still happening. [02:48] well we can't help you with manjaro [02:49] bosi: manjaro is installed right now on the hard disk? [02:49] Ben64, doesn't seem like a ubuntu or manjaro problem really... more like booting linux overall. [02:49] EriC^^, yes.

One of my cores is at 100% all the time. Unless I plug in a USB device, in which case, it's fine. [03:46] Has anyone heard of anything like that before? [03:47] jaythelinuxguy: Problems with heat?

[03:55] CIclops: i mean ubuntu. mixing versions is totally not supported and for good reason, it can cause all kinds of things to break and there might not be a way back [03:55] jaythelinuxguy: Use htop.... [03:56] hi, can I get some help with icecast? [03:56] Umeaboy: I've used htop, iotop, and system monitor [03:56] Carter1: Have you read the manual to begin with? [03:56] Carter1, best to go directly to icecast for support. [03:56] man icecast [03:57] jaythelinuxguy: Have you added any other hardware to your computer like more memory? [03:57] Umeaboy: No new hardware [03:57] How old is this computer? [03:58] Umeaboy: About 2 days [03:58] yes, but what I am trying to do doesn't seem to be anywhere. I want to run more than one stream, but on different ports. So say I have a stream on mysite.com:8000/stream.mp3 and mysite.com:8006/stream.mp3. how would this be done? [03:58] ok. I'll do that if nobody here knows [03:59] Ben64, does reinstalling ubuntu mean reinstalling all my applications? [03:59] jaythelinuxguy: Ooooouch. Call the maker of it. [04:00] good evening everyone! [04:00] If it's a factory error they'll help you. [04:00] Umeaboy: I don't know about that - seems like a bug to me. I'm just trying to figure out what to report it against, perhaps the kernel [04:00] Or maybe find a work around other than using a USB device all the time [04:02] Carter1: Check the icecast.xml file in the conf directory. [04:02] hello, can someone help me with dkms and a wifi module? === guitarmanbo is now known as Bobobod [04:02] jaythelinuxguy: You could try to use a newer kernel from the Kernel PPA.

I read the --help, but I still dont know where to write the path [04:05] Bobobod: I think you're better of going to #linux as we have different timezones here. [04:07] lerner: Try reading this then: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/createlv.html [04:07] I'd look at the last section. === troy_cambridge is now known as Guest81341 [04:07] Hopefully that'll help. [04:07] do i need to do something special to have dkms update modules on upgrade of kernel? [04:10] Umeaboy, PV = path? [04:10] path to volume I see... [04:10] :) [04:11] Bobobod: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DKMS [04:11] Umeaboy, the -n variable, will it make any difference to write -n LV or -nLV? [04:12] lerner: I have no idea. What does the -n flag do according to man lvcreate ? [04:12] Umeaboy, -n names the LV, but there is a space there... [04:12] Then it's a space you need. [04:13] incidentally, why there are --help and manpages? [04:13] its the same [04:14] Question: How does one change select mouse cursors without changing the theme (I would like to override a couple of them with my own). All the howtos I'm finding just say "here's how to change the theme lol" [04:15] lerner: Ask the person who wrote the program. [04:15] :) [04:15] There should be a section for that in unity-tweak-tool [04:15] I'm using cinnamon, not unity. [04:15] AH [04:15] You're hosed, then. [04:15] MarchHare: You didn't mention that at first. [04:15] ;) [04:16] Umeaboy: Well, I figured someone would know how it generally works, since X has been around a lot longer than Unity or Cinnamon [04:17] System Settings > Themes > Other settings [04:17] Check there. [04:19] OR do sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme [04:19] .... sudo lvcreate -L 1G -nVol1 /dev/sdd > returns > Volume group "sdd1" not found... [04:19] I'm not trying to change the theme. I just want to override one cursor. [04:19] i mean [04:19] .... sudo lvcreate -L 1G -nVol1 /dev/sdd > returns > Volume group "sdd" not found... [04:19] but lsblk lists it [04:19] lerner: Check with df if it's found and mounted. [04:19] Umeaboy: All of the howtos tell me how to change the theme with the alternatives... [04:20] Umeaboy: But I don't want to use a pre-rolled theme. I'm fine with what I have, but I just want to use a few custom cursors [04:20] lerner: Why didn't you add a space at the -n ? [04:20] Umeaboy, lol [04:21] MarchHare: I'd check the readme file of every cursor archive. [04:21] Go to kde-look.org to find some interesting cursors. [04:22] lazyness [04:22] Umeaboy: There isn't a readme, and there isn't an archive. This is a cursor I cooked up years and years ago on a Win3.1 machine. I'm trying to convert it and use it. [04:22] Converting it isn't going to be a problem, there's plenty of info on that. [04:22] Right. [04:22] Hmmmmmmmmmm. [04:23] Like I said, I just have a couple of files, and I just want to override the "Waiting" cursor and the standard one. [04:23] lerner: Isn't it necessary to pvcreate and vgreate before doing lvcreate? [04:24] MarchHare: Alright then. I'm out! [04:24] alimj, crap, right [04:25] Umeaboy: Thanks for trying to help. [04:27] reset [04:33] alimj, after "pvcreate" comes "vcreate"? or "vgreate"? [04:39] how come if I select proprietary AMD drivers, install them, and reboot, it says that it can't recognize my graphics config and boots into low graphics mode? [04:39] I have an R9 390 and am running 15.10 [04:40] lerner: vgcreate [04:41] rane: havent used an amd in a while but have you tried manually installing from the amd website? Only time i usually see that error is too old driver [04:41] Rane of the major gpu companies, amd has arguably the worst linux support. you might find better results by avoiding the proprietary [04:41] lerner: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/08/how-to-create-lvm/ [04:41] I'm just sticking to x.org for now and most games will run but some games seem to support nvidia only [04:41] Or any other similar gude [04:41] I was still running windows when I built this [04:41] s/gude/guide/ [04:42] rane: try manually installing the drivers from amd's site [04:42] I hope vulkan and AMD's new effort with that amdgpu thing make things better [04:42] okay [04:42] I'll try that === arleslie3 is now known as arleslie === arleslie is now known as arleslie3 [04:45] it kind of sucks that AMD has such bad linux drivers because I really disagree ethically with a lot of the stuff nvidia does that's pretty anticompetitive [04:45] so previously I was buying amd out of principle on that [04:45] so I have to choose between supporting a business I don't like or having bad linux drivers === arleslie3 is now known as arleslie [04:49] nvidia used to be really pretty good. [04:50] stuff like gameworks really turned me off to them though [04:50] they basically bribe devs to make their games run poorly on amd cards [04:50] i ran into an odd error trying to run VirtualBox. vboxconfig errored with warning: `VirtualBox' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use) [04:50] rane, please continue this discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic as this channel is dedicated to ubuntu support [04:51] <`blackmk4`aws> i want to allow traffic hitting my lan port to pass through to the wireless adapter, what is the proper way of doing this?

I know my latest install of 14.04 was still hanging on sleep and I went to a proprietary driver, and then it stopped. [05:32] I don't think there are additional drivers available [05:32] it's an intel gpu i believe [05:33] mneuro: have you tried the "additional drivers" window? [05:33] yea it says no addtional drivers available [05:34] try one more time, it takes a while for it to load.

Was wondering if Ubuntu will run okay on it? It currently has Windows XP. Was also wondering how I could make an image of the hard disk onto an external HDD, wipe Windows and install Ubuntu, and let my niece use the laptop and if she is not comfortable with Ubuntu I can restore the entire Windows installation and return the laptop to its original state. I ran a Liv [06:20] e CD off a USB stick and I know they are slower than the HDD installation. any advice would be much appreciated. thank you.

[08:57] lotuspsychje: I don't even get the option to do that in nvidia settings. [08:57] yeap [08:57] Infact, the sytem won't load unless using bumblebee as it simply gets stuck on the ubuntu dots loading splash.

[09:01] lotuspsychje: Not an option as 15.10 is the only one that for some reason supports wireless in this laptop. [09:01] forget to see ,yesterday one says channal 0f networking can not come in [09:01] (I've tried 14.04 with the more recent kernel and still didn't seem to work). [09:02] SirMoo: i know its not the smoothest idea, but you could try a 16.04 devel branch to compare [09:02] SirMoo: maybe kernel 4.3 will act different for your new card [09:03] SirMoo: we having alot of GTX users with issues atm.. [09:03] are there other channel about internet protocol?can youtel me? [09:03] Yeah, and I've tried the forums and they're not even replying to my question...

[09:07] bishops: try the 'whereis' filename command from terminal [09:07] whereis [filename] just like this? [09:08] but my point is that isn't unity lens supposed to do this job for me? [09:08] its asking to login to ubuntu one... [09:09] Gegsite: yeah thats normal mate, you need to be member [09:09] than it will not be a file [09:10] Gegsite: what do you mean mate? [09:10] I have weird trouble with the lense on 14.04, bishops. It often does not search properly on the intial try... removing a few letters and retyping will normally have it work properly. [09:10] I will not register for a bug [09:10] SirMoo: This is exactly what happens with me! [09:12] bishops: Most of the time for me it happens with skype... I type in skype and it gives totally pointless things... Like an mp3 with the name sky in it or something... Then if I remove the ype and type it again it properly finds it... [09:12] XD I don't understand it atall to be honest. [09:13] Gegsite: thats your choice mate...thats all i could for you [09:13] SirMoo: Yes and the other time it happens is if you have recently added files into dropbox for example it just won't see them unless you open them manually one first time. [09:13] Thanks all :P [09:14] now I searching how to downgrade [09:14] Gegsite: downgrade what? [09:14] nvidia driver to 346 or something [09:14] SirMoo: honestly when you compare with spotlight on Mac it's just really not there yet.. [09:15] Gegsite: just type in apt-get install nvidia-(version-you-want-here) [09:16] bishops: Not used Mac, but it reminds me of the old search function on windowsxp that too ages to find anything on a full drive. XD [09:16] haha yes! [09:17] It was always easier to just start it and go to bed and hope it finished in the morning.

In principle it should work, but the problem is always performance: unless your cpu and ram can handle the load, you may never be satisfied with the results. The reverse might work better, e.g. windows host, ubuntu guest, if you can live with that. [09:54] which should i choose .. virtualbox or vmware?? [09:54] can you please provide an apt-get method of downloading? [09:54] dani__: well, virtualbox is free... [09:54] !vbox [09:54] Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures. It's available in the package "virtualbox" in the !repositories, and you can download the Virtualbox Extension Pack for additional, non-Free functionality at http://virtualbox.org . Additional details can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [09:55] dani__: sudo apt-get install virtualbox [09:55] cheers guys [09:55] very much appreciated [09:59] /j #lxde [09:59] wrong window ;) [10:04] dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1 < is that correct? the path I mean [10:04] hi .. ok ive installed virtualbox.. its' asking me how much ram i should allocate??? my system has a total of 8GB ram.. how much should i allocate? considering that i wan to run tv capture device on windows 7??? [10:05] I suspect your results will be dissapointing [10:05] how so ikonia ? [10:05] unless you have a way to directly map the physical tv capture device through to the virutal machine [10:06] will the virtualbox detect the hardware? [10:06] this works "ok" for graphics cards, but I've found it very dissapointing with devices such as TV cards with encoders on [10:06] lerner, that depends on what you want to do? [10:07] i have two different tv capture cards ikonia .. one USB and one PCIe [10:07] do you think either will work? [10:07] no [10:07] certainly not very well [10:07] try it though [10:07] i have 8GB of ram.. how much should i allocate to the virtual machine for best results? [10:08] how ever much you think it needs [10:08] trixtator, nuke /dev/sdb [10:08] i dont know how it works [10:08] dani__: if this was a real machine, how much ram would you buy for it ? [10:08] 3-4 gb should work [10:09] lerner, what is sdb and how gib it is? [10:09] will the remaining 4GB be enought to run the vm trixtator ?? [10:09] sdb is an external hdd 1TB big [10:09] dani__: does it recommend a particular amount? [10:09] yes [10:09] 512MB [10:10] I'd double it for good measure. You can readjust later. For no good reason. [10:10] lerner, your comman will only nuke the first 512 byte of your hdd [10:11] dani__: which windows version are you planning to run in the vm? [10:11] that would kill the mbr if it has one [10:11] Loshki, windows 7 Home [10:11] size = bs * count [10:12] just to make sure i have the right software.. is the free VM called VirtualBox?? [10:12] sorry have to leave for a while [10:12] VM VirtualBox? [10:12] #Pythonpune #meetup has been a success [10:12] made by Oracle? [10:14] dani__: virtualbox is the application that provides you the ability to run a virtual machine [10:15] dani__: yes, virtualbox, aka vbox. All the gossip is here: http://www.zdnet.com/article/what-sucks-worse-than-oracles-virtualbox/ [10:15] thanks again guys [10:21] Device Filters: 0 (0 Active) [10:21] that's what my virtual machine says under USB in the settings pannel [10:22] it gives me the option of setting USB Device Filters [10:25] dani__: lsusb will show you the device id's [10:27] Hey guys it won't install please help in tried many times and get get it to go here is picd [10:27] http://www.imgpaste.net/image/dqmz [10:27] http://www.imgpaste.net/image/drRe [10:27] jerry-ing: what won't install [10:29] jerry-ing what are you trying to install and on what ubuntu version [10:29] it's not Ubuntu he's installing [10:29] it's debian [10:30] jerry-ing: please don't use this channel for Debian support [10:30] ikonia: it says ubuntu in the 2nd screenshot [10:30] well, he's stating in #debian that it's debian [10:31] so he's lying to one [10:31] oh well [10:31] Ikonia I am not [10:31] Ikonia in was mistaken [10:31] jerry-ing: is it Debian or ubuntu you're trying to install ? [10:32] 10:20 < jerry-ing> Alright folks day three at trying to install Debian [10:32] Tried both but at this verry second I have ubuntu telling me it can't install [10:32] seems to suggest debian [10:32] and yet you're asking in #debian saying you're currently on debian [10:32] Ikonia did you not see my IMG? [10:32] yes, but I also see what you are typing "now" real time [10:32] http://www.imgpaste.net/image/dqmz [10:32] http://www.imgpaste.net/image/drRe its Ubuntu [10:33] My 14.04.3 has an installed upgradable package (gcc-4.9-base:i386) when marked for upgrade synaptic says fix broken packages - how do i fix them? [10:33] yes and you're also in #debian right now - real time saying it's debian [10:33] CIclops: told you this yesterday [10:33] CIclops: you refused to deal with it [10:33] Ikonia i don't like you [10:33] jerry-ing: that's not a requirement [10:34] ikonia, hi :) you mean reinstall ubuntu? [10:34] Plus this time you are wrong this is ubuntu === michael__ is now known as Guest41572 [10:34] jerry-ing: no doubt, but you're either lying to #ubuntu or lying to #debian [10:34] I said Debian in #debian and I was confused [10:34] jerry-ing: and yet you're still talking in #debian pretending it's debian [10:35] CIclops: you're not at a knowledge level yet where you can manage the packages from all those PPA's with dependencies and priorites [10:35] CIclops: you'd be better - backup your data, clean install, to the correct version this time, then move forward with guidence from people say in this channel on how to do what you want === Gnomethrower is now known as vergeDEV === vergeDEV is now known as Gnomethrower [10:37] ikonia, do i need to reinstall all my apps? [10:37] CIclops: yes you will do, as it will be a clean install, but this time hopefully we could do it without the need for 15+ PPA's all in conflict [10:38] does anyone konw if virtualbox will detect my PCIe card at all? [10:38] dani__: what do you mean [10:39] dani__: virtal box is a hypervisor [10:39] dani__: it will act as a pass through or create a virtual generic device [10:39] hypervisor....? sorry ikonia im not sure what that means [10:39] which is why you may find your tv card a poor experience [10:39] ah ok ikonia [10:40] Ikonia see here where I and connon realised its ubuntu? And I said my bad? [10:40] http://www.imgpaste.net/image/dh7X [10:40] thanks for your help today [10:40] jerry-ing: yes, after this discussion [10:40] dani__: no problem, out of interest why do you want to run this in a VM ? [10:41] dani__: would the TV card not work in Linux ? [10:41] ikonia, maybe only 3 PPA's now :) .. i discovered why I have this issue, i used a vivid repos that conflicted my trusty installation in order to build an app that i no longer use and have removed with synaptic [10:41] CIclops: it's too late removing them now - you've already installed fro mthem [10:41] once you've installed from them, the damage has been done, removing the repo after the install does nthing [10:41] nothing [10:42] im thinking it's a bit over my head tbh... ive ordered a tv card that is meant to work with linux.. but im not sure how.. if i can get it to work in a vm i'd be happy [10:42] thanks again ikonia [10:42] dani__: if you're struggling to get a TV card to work in linux thats supported, you're way over your head trying to do it in a VM and pass through from linux [10:42] dani__: stick to the simpler task of getting it working in linux [10:42] Can anyone other than ikonia help me install ubuntu [10:44] ikonia, can i transfer my app settings or do i have to copy them all by hand? [10:44] back them up and restore them, but as the versions may differ, you may want to consider re-creating them properly [10:45] jerry-ing: why cant you install ubuntu? [10:45] ikonia, ive noticed it says that USB 2.0 needs to download Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack. will it downgrade to USB 1? Or do i actually need to download the extra Extension to use my USB's? === dotpixis is now known as asnetuh [10:46] dani__: now you've said more, I agree with ikonia. Try it in linux first. [10:46] ok.. [10:46] dani__: I'd stop trying to virtualize and focus on getting it working [10:46] Trijnje http://www.imgpaste.net/image/dqmz [10:46] i've ordered the pcie card from ebay.. i will have to wait for that [10:48] i might just try my luck now that i've created the VM Partitian [10:50] jerry-ing: That is not the default installer, what are you trying to do? [10:51] Pxe boot net install a minimal ubuntu system this may be of more use http://www.imgpaste.net/image/d83b [10:51] jerry-ing, some sw you selected culdn't be installed. Either the media is broken, or you're not connected to the internet, I guess. [10:52] it even says in the screen shot [10:52] failed to connect [10:53] jerry-ing: why not do a normal install? [10:54] Vbotka it would seem i am connected http://www.imgpaste.net/image/doG2 [10:55] ICMP is not a http request [10:55] trigntje because on this datcenter pxe is the only option [10:55] it can't resolv / connect to the archive / mirror you're hitting [10:55] I suspect it's a proxy access based environment and http is blocked ? [10:56] Just a sec [10:56] or maybe DNS/53 is blocked unless you use supplied resolvers, [10:56] so you can ping an IP, but you can't use it as a resolver [10:57] Ikonia just a sec [10:59] Ikonia dns and http are confirmed working http://www.imgpaste.net/image/dpI7 [10:59] that's now [10:59] but at the time it wants them it's not [11:01] looking at the error - it gets some of the repos, but then fails due to dns [11:01] Okay so with out rebooting is there a way to apt-get -f install the /target installation? 0.o [11:01] working out why that dns is failing is the problem [11:01] you really need it to work at install time [11:01] trace why the resolver is dropping out [11:02] the other option is to pxe boot a normal ubuntu image [11:02] rather than the minimal which needs the internet [11:02] the normal image will have the packages local [11:02] ikona wouldn't that take a long time [11:02] won't what take a long time ? [11:03] yes btw auto correct did that [11:03] ? [11:03] how would i trace the resolver dropping out? [11:04] you'd have to be interactive with it, look at what's happening as you did it [11:04] thats why it maybe easier to pxeboot a normal ubuntu image [11:04] that way there is no need for the net [11:05] Lol redo while running wireshark... yeah more easy the other way [11:07] well if the base system is installed could i just install the bootloader , finnish install reboot then fix it? [11:07] up to you [11:09] Sorry ikonia for earlier just a bit on edge from work and i do not like being told im not doing what i am [11:12] ubuntu ubuntu ubuntu [11:14] ok [11:14] [11:16] Good Morning. === dearn_ is now known as dearn [11:17] Anyone home this morning? [11:18] just ask your question [11:18] I have a problem with my new Belkin router [11:19] We got a new DSL modem/router. Now wifi doesn't work. We have to plug the ethernet cable into the laptop. It's a Toshiba [11:20] what version of ubuntu is the laptop running [11:20] 14 I think... [11:20] Becky_: is anything else connected to the router via wifi ? [11:21] 14.04 version of Ubuntu [11:22] My parents both have windows laptops, plus my mom has a ipad, three iphones and my brother's windows laptop [11:22] and they are all connected to the new wifi router "ok" [11:23] Yes, everything works with the new wifi, except the toshiba running ubuntu [11:23] can the toshiba see the WIFI SSID ? [11:24] The toshiba can see the wifi, and it seems to be connecting, but the webpages act like they can't get a signal [11:24] Becky_: in the little network icon in the top right of the screen, does it show as connected ? === ahmadabu-khazneh is now known as ahmadkaz [11:25] The place where the icon usually is has two arrows.

[11:26] ok, [11:26] so as kill said delete the wifi connection, unplug the network cable, re-add it and ssee what happens [11:27] if the SSID is the same you've probably got a local lease file or something from the dhcp server of the old one thats causing confusion [11:27] or the keys are the old ones [11:27] ok.

[11:49] *this [11:50] which software [11:50] xchat gnome irc [11:50] Ubuntu 14.04 === zenlot1 is now known as zenlot [11:50] i see. well that shoudl be able to scroll up normally. hexchat is better though, xchat is basically dead. [11:51] I went to Ubuntu [11:51] Becky2: i'll repost - coming up [11:51] Becky_: this is somewhat advanced, but i bet it would help us help you https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WirelessTroubleshootingProcedure [11:51] Becky2 what brings you to #ubuntu? which issue? [11:51] Becky: in step 3, you can use a pastebin service instead (in case you don't have a Launchpad account). [11:51] !pastebin | Becky [11:51] Becky: 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.

Monkey Dust, I gtg, brb [11:53] Becky2: i just posted this hint to explain how you can provide output from the commands listed on that help.ubuntu.com page [11:53] so no worries ;) [11:53] ok a pastebin service, got it === ghazalmf- is now known as ghazalmf === ghazalmf is now known as Guest26890 === helpme is now known as Guest20476 === Guest26890 is now known as ghazalmf === ghazalmf is now known as Guest25179 [11:59] Hey guys! I am trying to install this distro called Remix OS. It is designed only to be run from an external device. I see that people managed to get it running by dual booting though. So my question is this...I want to use ubuntu to encrypt the HD during the installation of Ubuntu on the entire disk...then from within ubuntu set up everything so I install Remix OS. But then I want to *remove* ubuntu and retain the encryption tha [11:59] Is this possible? === Guest25179 is now known as ghazalmf [12:00] ghazalmf: it's not something this channel supports [12:00] sorry [12:00] Erm my situation is this* [12:00] oops === ghazalmf is now known as Guest97530 [12:00] Guest20476: it's not something this channel support [12:00] ikonia: This is ubuntu related [12:00] I am not asking if Remix will be okay [12:00] Guest20476: not really [12:00] I am only asking if that is possible. [12:01] To remove ubuntu and retain its encryption/grub [12:01] you are you're asking how to ecnypt with ubuntu, remove ubuntu then use a different distro [12:01] thats not ubuntu's issue [12:01] Guest20476: If you remove Ubuntu, your encryption will be unusable. [12:01] ikonia: see bekks answer? That's called helping. [12:01] Thanks bekks [12:01] Guest20476: And your issue has nothing to do with Ubuntu really. === Guest97530 is now known as ghazalmf === ghazalmf is now known as Guest36616 [12:03] Hi everybody - I'm new to this channel, but hope you perhaps can help me. I'm trying to redirect incoming sound from an http stream to pyAudio - what's the best way to do this? [12:04] themapplz: Thats our way of solving a specific problem - which problem is it? [12:04] *your [12:04] hey [12:04] yeah well it seems pyaudio is only able to take a file or the microphone as input === Guest36616 is now known as ghazalmf [12:05] so i was thinking to maybe redirect to http input stream to a /dev of some sort and then use that as input [12:05] don't know if that makes sense [12:06] themapplz: Actually not. === ghazalmf is now known as Guest18192 [12:06] themapplz: What is the actual problem? What do you want to do, actually? [12:06] it should be possible with jack [12:06] i have a python script that listens to the microphone with pyAudio [12:06] the things is, [12:06] the audio is coming in from an http mp3 stream [12:07] so i either have to decode the stream, redirect it from the decoder as audio to the mic [12:07] themapplz: So you are downloading an mp3 file? [12:07] or do it some smarter way === Guest18192 is now known as ghazalmf [12:07] well it's a live stream [12:08] from a darkice server [12:08] themapplz: So you have a live stream. And? [12:08] How might one find out the name of their laptop? Mine says Toshiba in big letters, but is there a way to tell the exact model? [12:08] the live stream is from a microphone on a rpi [12:08] sent with darkice to an ubuntu server [12:08] with icecast [12:09] so i can listen to the ubuntu server's decoded audio [12:09] Becky2, sudo lshw [12:09] themapplz: Can you please stop using enter as a punctuation sign? [12:09] enter as a punctuation sign? [12:09] what's that? sorry [12:09] :| [12:09] themapplz, stop hitting the enter key every few words. [12:10] oh sorry === mathisen is now known as Mathisen [12:10] themapplz: So you have a livestream? And? (skipping all that irrelevant information) - what do you want to do with that stream now, and why? [12:11] so yeah the ubuntu server receives the http stream and, for now, i have an icecast server decode it to listen to it, but i actually need to redirect this audio into pyAudio [12:11] themapplz: How about just answering my question? [12:13] themapplz: here's a different take on ths same: why do you need it in PyAudio, what is it going to do with it? maybe you could use a different application which is better suited for what you are trying to achieve (and have not yet discussed) [12:13] what I want to do with my stream is use it in a python script using pyaudio [12:13] themapplz: And what does this script do? [12:14] the pyaudio uses matplotlib to calculate FFTs and peaks [12:14] Record the stream, run pyaudio on the recorded file. [12:14] right, but it's a continuous live stream [12:15] Right, but you arent wathcing the FFT and peaks for 24h. :) [12:15] yea, thats the plan [12:15] themapplz, sounds like a pretty specific use of python which leads me to suggest you ask #python [12:15] ok [12:15] i hear you [12:16] I everybody, I am trying to installa Ubuntu 15.10 on acer netbook with 32bit efi and 64bit system. Instead of flashing directly the iso image of ubuntu using dd I have tried to copy all its files on the usb stick formatted with fat32. I had some errors since I cannot copy some symlinks, but I tried to go over. So I putted on the stick a 32bit efi grub I compiled on my Arch Linux laptop. Once putted in the Acer the grub started and I c [12:16] klemvor, whoa son [12:16] i just had some crazy idea that perhaps it could be done in alsa, to redirect the incoming audio to the mic.. or maybe jack [12:16] klemvor: Thats not going to work at all. [12:16] themapplz: padsp *might* be of help (depending on how pyaudio works, which i dont know), check its man page. [12:16] !klemvor | explain: 32bit efi and 64 bit system??WHAT? [12:16] oh cool [12:17] how can I force my 14.04 desktop system to delay initialization of the network connections until I log in? [12:17] klemvor, for that matter, I'm pretty sure there ARE no 32bit efi capable computers as 64 bit is required? [12:17] DrManhattan, remove network manager from your autostarting applications [12:17] I have my eth0 connect to my VPN automatically, so it needs me to log in in order to access my keychain [12:18] thanks so much guys.. sorry about perhaps being unclear [12:18] no can do cfhowlett, PIA requires the use of network manager at this time. Any way to make Network Manager delay init until login? [12:19] cfhowleett! that's kind strange, but it is so! someone choose to put a 32bit efi bootloader on a 64 system! by the way I am following this guide https://gist.github.com/franga2000/2154d09f864894b8fe84 [12:19] klemvor, put a 64 bit bootloader on that machine [12:19] I can try but I don't think it will work [12:20] !touch | ah. TABLET. see the support channel [12:20] ah. TABLET. see the support channel: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch . Support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [12:21] it is a tablet, but it has an atom x86_64 processor not an ARM one [12:22] hi [12:22] hi [12:29] I tried with the 64bit system: the pen drive is not reckognized as bootable media [12:30] sudo pvcreate /dev/sdb -ff --returns-- Really INITIALIZE physical volume "/dev/sdb" of volume group "volgroup1" [y/n]? y ---- Device /dev/sdb not found (or ignored by filtering). -- BUT lsblk lists it (dev/sdb)!!! [12:30] klemvor: Because it isnt bootable. [12:31] lerner: Pastebin sudo fdisk -l please. [12:32] bekks, do you want me to copy the whole output, or just the relevant hdd? [12:32] lerner: The entire output please, into a pastebin. [12:34] thank you [12:38] Can someone help me get the nvidia driver installed? Seem to be having a conflict somewhere... http://pastebin.com/rn19WpY9 [12:39] mainly this error: lib32gcc1 : Depends: gcc-4.9-base (= 4.9-20140406-0ubuntu1) but 4.9.1-0ubuntu1 is to be installed [12:39] do we really care if it's a minor revision different? Can I skip it? [12:41] Hi! I was fighting with this package for 3 weeks now - it won't let install any updates http://paste.ubuntu.com/14589555/ 15.10 === loki_ is now known as loa [12:42] Volkodav: where did that package come fro m [12:42] ktechm1das: none of the ubuntu releases currently offers the package version apt has chosen to install on your system. http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=lib32gcc1&exact=1 [12:42] ikonia: no clue [12:43] !info libopencv-video2.4v5 [12:43] Volkodav, what ubuntu version?? [12:43] libopencv-video2.4v5 (source: opencv): computer vision Video analysis library. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.4.9+dfsg-1ubuntu6 (wily), package size 125 kB, installed size 375 kB [12:43] 15.10 [12:43] ktechm1das: this suggests you are using unsupported third party prepositories or have not run sudo apt-get update, or both. [12:43] !find libopencv-video [12:43] Found: libopencv-video-dev, libopencv-video2.4v5, libopencv-videostab-dev, libopencv-videostab2.4v5 [12:44] Volkodav, I'm on 14.04 and I still have 2.4 I update/dist-upgrade everyday [12:44] cfhowlett: I have removed all the ppa's that I had [12:45] there we go "had" [12:45] Volkodav: And did you remove all packages from those PPA as well? [12:45] Volkodav, ahhhh it gets better! you removed the ppa from sources, but did you also purge the ppa? [12:45] thats why the source is stale [12:45] there is the key [12:46] ikonia: let me check [12:47] Volkodav: ubuntu-support-status --show-unsupported [12:47] tomreyn: does that really work ? [12:47] I've never seen/heard of that before [12:47] same same [12:48] works for me [12:48] tomreyn: thats very useful, I'll check that out, never even heard of that [12:48] thank you [12:49] tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14607672/ [12:49] tomreyn awesome command ... +1 [12:49] join #mono [12:49] no man page for ubuntu-support-status ... === chalcedny is now known as chalcedony [12:50] cfhowlett: nope, [12:51] tomreyn: a whole bunch of stuff came up huh [12:51] ikonia, rather begs the question ... so I take it this shows packages that UBUNTU doesn't support but that may/may not be supported elsewhere, confirm? [12:51] cfhowlett: I need to look at it as I don't know what/how it works, but it's certainly worth a look [12:52] Volkodav: so yes you seem to have a lot of third party packages installed. you should probably ensure you're not using packages which you don't have apt source instaleld for firts of all. [12:53] and then upgrade / downgrade to the versions available in your ubuntu release [12:53] I'm on ubuntustudio 14.04 = xubuntu + multimedia extras. My list of unupported looks quite different [12:53] Is there any way to enable autologin AND keychain? [12:53] they appear to be mutually exclusive [12:53] Hiyas all [12:53] Is it ok to reinstall a new 14.04.3 on a second HD, and dual boot the old one? [12:54] CIclops: Sure. But why do you want to reinstall? :) [12:54] bekks, ask ikonia :) [12:55] CIclops: I havent seen him telling you to reinstall and dualboot. [12:55] tomreyn: thanks for that command. Reminds me why I lurk on this channel :) [12:55] tomreyn: That's from upgrades from previous versions I guess - my concern now is to get the system updated and upgrade this box to 16.04 once the beta is out [12:56] Volkodav: i also use "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install apt-show-versions && apt-show-versions | grep -v uptodate" to identify packages which are not backed by an apt source. and i use "apt-cache policy" to see which apt sources are currently in use. and "apt-cache policy " to understand which apt source a package candidate would be installed form, and why. [12:56] welcome mcphail [12:56] bekks, is there problem doing that? it's fallback to apps pending transfer [12:57] question: how is Ubuntu's docker image so small compared to standard ubuntu server? https://github.com/tianon/docker-brew-ubuntu-core/blob/be08b705c023aad665973f374d9a94cf0327497e/trusty/ubuntu-trusty-core-cloudimg-amd64-root.tar.gz [12:58] I was expecting a 300-400mb minimum image [12:58] everyone now looking into ubuntu-support-status: be aware this tool considers any 3rd-party repository to be unsupported. also --show-unsupported will not list packages which were supported in the past but are no longer supported now. use --show-all for those. [12:59] * mcphail thinks the ops should add that one to the /topic [12:59] tomreyn: once i run all that - how do I resolve the dependency issue - get rid of all unsupported packages? That will bork the whole system down I guess [12:59] Volkodav: cleaning up your packages and ensuring you only have the package versions installed which are available on your current ubuntu release is actually precisely what you should do while planning for an upgrade. [13:00] mcphail: looks like it could be a good one for sure [13:00] ri [13:02] tomreyn, any idea where this nifty command MIGHT be documented? [13:03] tomreyn: this is the first command output http://paste.ubuntu.com/14607746/ [13:03] hey, what magic do i need to apply to get going with vagrant (ssh)? my host is ubuntu 15.10 server and no matter what box i want to get up with vagrant it always hangs (sample output here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/14607733/ ). asking politely for hints ;) [13:03] Volkodav: for now, concentrate on removing packages which have no apt source available (apt-show-versions | grep -v uptodate). Then focus on replacing (such as by downgrading) packages which are on a version not available in your ubuntu release (packages listed under "no longer downloadable" in the "ubuntu-support-status --show-unsupported" output). [13:05] Marcel_T4: post your vagrantfile [13:05] and the command you're using to launch it [13:05] Volkodav: finally consider, for each of the packages considered to be "Unsupported" in "ubuntu-support-status --show-unsupported" output as to whether you still need this package. those are packages which may still get community support, they are just not supported by canonical. [13:06] (such as in enterprise installations where reliable security support is considered to be even more ciritical than for the average home user) [13:06] tomreyn: is there a way to avoid all this hustle and upgrade to 16.04 or I need to upgrade the system first? [13:06] question: how is Ubuntu's docker image so small compared to standard ubuntu server? https://github.com/tianon/docker-brew-ubuntu-core/blob/be08b705c023aad665973f374d9a94cf0327497e/trusty/ubuntu-trusty-core-cloudimg-amd64-root.tar.gz [13:07] Volkodav: you can try to just do-release-upgrade. it can work. or it can fail. [13:07] Someguy123 that may be a question for #ubuntu-server === james_ is now known as Guest52830 [13:07] @Someguy123 this particular box was a test because i could´nt get coreos kubernetes install. but here it is: https://paste.ubuntu.com/14607776/ cmd is just vanilla "vagrant up" [13:09] all the up attempts hang on ssh private key. then timeout. most tips are vb.gui = true, but no xserver. [13:09] tomreyn: apt-cache policy said no pinned packages http://paste.ubuntu.com/14607802/ [13:12] can you give me a rules about snort software version 2.9.6.0?i can not find the rule [13:12] hi [13:13] lt_: what do you mean "a rule" [13:13] are every body here? [13:13] homa, ask your ubuntu questions [13:13] why didn't install build-essential for default? [13:13] homa: just ask your technical ubuntu question :) [13:14] homa: not everyone wants/needs build tools on their system [13:14] Volkodav: based on this output you have removed any third party repositories. that's a good preparation for upgrading. that's only the first step, though (and one do-release-upgrade would also do for you automatically) as was said initially. you also need to actually remove unsupported packages. [13:14] tomreyn: and do-release-upgrade does not find any new versions though [13:14] just a file about snort software [13:14] homa, I can only imagine it's because most users never use that functionality. [13:14] homa: those tools can be used for damage, so it's not put on unless you need them [13:14] the software will use it, [13:14] bekks: it isnt' bootable since the system cannot boot a 64 efi. I don't if maybe can be worth of trying to install a 32bit system directly because the machine has just 2Gb RAM [13:14] but i can not find it [13:14] cfhowlett: i would bet it is in canonical's enterprise support. also there is --help [13:14] tomreyn, eh ... OK [13:14] lt_: what can't you find [13:15] lt_: sorry - I'm not clear what you're actually asking [13:15] build-essential for c programming is library? [13:15] tomreyn: can not remove any package - it errors like so http://paste.ubuntu.com/14607830/ [13:15] homa: not just for that [13:15] homa: it's a set of build tools used for common needs [13:15] ikonia: example me [13:16] homa: building any bit of software you want [13:16] Volkodav: run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -f install", then try again. [13:16] ok [13:16] homa: the average user doesnt need to compile. all the experienced users who want compile know its easy to install build-essentials. so where is the issue? [13:16] a file named snort-rule, [13:17] Volkodav: if you'll run into errors running those command then you need to fix them first [13:17] lt_: you have to make it, Snort is an IDS - you need to specify the inspection and reporting rules [13:17] what's tools in build-essential package ? [13:17] yeah I did E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [13:17] homa: it's a collection of tools [13:17] homa: build-essential is a metapackage for lots of other packages [13:17] for example? [13:18] automake [13:18] as an example package [13:18] for all package no just c compiler , that's right [13:19] many packages, yes [13:19] tomreyn: still does not work - will not allow to remove any package [13:20] so , i installed build-essential why virtualbox need that and give me error? [13:20] homa: because it needs to build a kernel module [13:20] so it needs the tools to build the kernel module, so build-essentials gets installed [13:20] tomreyn: it runs in circleslike this http://paste.ubuntu.com/14607858/ [13:21] build-essential package is one , no different for c compiler and virtualbox [13:21] you need more than just the c-compiler [13:21] hence why it calls build-essential [13:21] is the "essential" build tools [13:21] hello [13:22] tomreyn: I forgot to tell you - I removed this package from /var/lib/dpkg/status as suggested here http://askubuntu.com/questions/603295/how-to-fix-dpkg-error-2. Should I put it back? [13:22] Volkodav: sudo dpkg --purge libopencv-contrib2.4v5:amd64 [13:22] Volkodav: this will probably fail, too, but you may get a better clue as to why. [13:23] if we one install build-essential then never for reinstall that , ikonia [13:24] Volkodav: oh you manaually edited your package installation states? hmm, not usually a good idea. [13:24] tomreyn: fails because of gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad:amd64 says a dependency [13:24] if we one install build-essential then never for reinstall that , ikonia [13:24] homa: I don't understand what you're asking [13:25] tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14607880/ [13:25] for all package we have one share build-essential package ? ikonia [13:25] it's a meta package that calls other packages [13:26] test [13:26] !test | kaca [13:26] kaca: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... [13:26] we have one build-essential package ? ikonia [13:26] tomreyn: can't purge gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad:amd64 neither with different error though back to stale on video pkg [13:27] !info build-essential > homa [13:28] sound works on my laptop speakers (dell xps 13) but not my headphones, this is since upgrading from 14.04 to 15.10. Any tips on debugging? I've followed the first couple of stackoverflow posts I found but none of them have worked. [13:28] Volkodav: can i see that output, too? [13:29] we have one build-essential package for all packages ? [13:29] Sure tomreyn http://paste.ubuntu.com/14607907/ [13:29] Volkodav: also show "apt-cache policy libopencv-contrib2.4v5:amd64 gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad:amd64" [13:29] homa: There is only one build-essential package. [13:30] homa: what's the actual problem you have ? [13:30] bekks : thank you [13:30] ikonia : thank you [13:30] err, ok, no problem [13:30] i give my answer [13:30] ok [13:30] Volkodav, have you purged ALL ppa? [13:33] tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14607937/ [13:33] cfhowlett: pretty sure I did [13:34] ams_: not very recommended to upgrade 14.04 to 15.10 [13:34] ams_: clean install instead [13:34] lotuspsychje: really? is there some documentation describing that? [13:34] !upgrade | ams_ [13:34] ams_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [13:34] Volkodav, as it still seems to point to something off-key I wonder if rebulding your sources might not be in order: https://repogen.simplylinux.ch/index.php [13:34] I again I have tried in doing the same thing as before but I cannot boot from the 32bit version of ubuntu made with dd, my bios seems not to reckognize my usb drive, any ideas? [13:35] Volkodav: sudo apt-get install --reinstall gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad:amd64 [13:35] ams_, 16.04 will be out in a few months - direct upgrade from 14.04. [13:35] cfhowlett: i'm on 15.10 [13:35] tomreyn: asks for sudo dpkg --configure -a [13:35] ams_: perhaps your sound might work better if you clean install [13:35] Should I? [13:36] lotuspsychje: where does it say to format instead of upgrading? [13:36] sure it might, but I did an upgrade because I wanted to avoid doing that. Presumably if a fresh install would be in a working state it's possible to get my current install to a working state. [13:36] Volkodav: does it say why? and if you run sudo "dpkg --configure -a", does it report an error? [13:37] nope [13:37] test [13:37] Volkodav: which of my two questions did you just respond to? [13:37] https://www.snort.org/downloads/#rule-downloads [13:38] can someone go to the web? [13:38] ams_: try always lts to lts or non-lts to non-lts or latest version the next release [13:38] i can not go to web download the rule file,can youhelp me? [13:38] no error on dpkg --configure -a but then I rerun sudo apt-get install --reinstall gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad:amd64 and it gets me to install -f and that one gets back to video package [13:38] lt_: And whats the Ubuntu issue at that point? [13:38] lotuspsychje but is that what you personally think or is that what ubuntu say?

Yes, though not every page linked off it. I say I went from 14.04 to 15.10 but I went 14.04->15.04->15.10. If there's something you think I'm not understanding would you mind pointing me at it? [13:41] Volkodav: you should continue there, did you? [13:42] tomreyn: sure did and is stalls with the same error back to square 1 [13:42] ams_: you never mention you went to 15.04...

[13:49] ioria: 2 lines are fine aren't they? [13:50] cfhowlett: pretty sure via synaptic/apt [13:50] Volkodav, i don't see them [13:51] Volkodav, cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/libopencv-contrib2.4v5:amd64.list | pastebinit [13:51] ioria: tale file handle [13:51] was the output [13:51] Volkodav, tha's wrong, it hink [13:51] think [13:51] lotuspsychje: yeah sorry, i mean i started at 14.04 and ended at 15.10, didn't think it necessary to describe steps in between :-) [13:52] ioria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14608089/ [13:52] Volkodav, should be some like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/14608088/ [13:52] ams_: anyway i think you should start clean, to actually see whats going on [13:53] lotuspsychje: i'd really rather not do that :) [13:53] ioria: it is what it is - what can I do? [13:53] ams_: ok then browse syslog for usefull errors [13:53] Hey guys! [13:53] Volkodav, sorry ... like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/14608096/ [13:53] cheers, i'll have a look [13:54] ioria: I understand it should be like that [13:55] Volkodav, yes , try again to cat your file ... it's possible that you have that content [13:55] whats up [13:55] *not [13:55] but it's not for some reason [13:55] ams_: or maybe tail -f /var/log/syslog in realtime while you messing with your sound [13:55] lotuspsychje: ooooh, pulseaudio errors about configuration files. That sounds promising! Thanks for the pointer [13:55] zealee, ask your #ubuntu support questions [13:55] ioria: I tried and the output is the same [13:56] !sound | ams_ overlook all these steps also [13:56] ams_ overlook all these steps also: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

[13:57] cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/libopencv-contrib2.4v5\:amd64.list [13:57] ioria: cat: /var/lib/dpkg/info/libopencv-contrib2.4v5:amd64.list: Stale file handle [13:57] yeah [13:57] Volkodav: cd /var/lib/dpkg/info/ [13:57] then try again [13:57] Volkodav, cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/libopencv-contrib2.4v5\:amd64.list [13:58] EriC^^, for me works without escape ....

Thanks for your help. [14:02] pinkware .... [14:02] lotuspsychje, top tells me that xorg uses ~5% cpu in idle, but whatever program i open needs almost 100% [14:02] !yay | ams_ tell us how you fixxed? [14:02] ams_ tell us how you fixxed?: Glad you made it! :-) [14:02] allowed to touch my box for a couple of days and things went south [14:02] i want to encrypt my /var/log dir can i with cryptsetup mount a encrypted container in /var/log with the same logfile setup as in /var/log and then debian will log to those or will this screw up the logging ? [14:03] e101: how much ram do you have and wich ubuntu version? [14:03] Volkodav: i don'T know what "a blob of pinkware is", but i guess i don't need ot. here's one hint i can provide: don't follow suggestions with low score on Q&A pages in the future. [14:03] lotuspsychje: I had the following error in /var/log/syslog. Commenting out "name = " lines under "General" fixed my issue.

[14:04] tomreyn: that page I reffered to had a solution pretty reversible - I will do it now and see what kind of errors may pop up [14:05] lotuspsychje, 2gb [14:05] mazertm-: how about you tell us whats your end goal with this? [14:05] could it be a problem of the gpu driver? i have a geforce 8600m gt and use the proprietary drivers from nvidia [14:05] i can't connect through my second network card [14:05] Volkodav: you won't be able to recover from the current situation unless you fix your file system first. which is probably your root file system, which means you should probably have it done during reboot. [14:05] lotuspsychje: i will be able to boot the machine from remote, this is not possible when / is encrypted [14:06] Volkodav: for details on the "stale file handle" issue http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20105260/what-does-stale-file-handle-in-linux-means [14:07] e101: xubuntu version? [14:07] 14.04 [14:07] Hey guys. [14:07] New Ubuntu in 2 months I hear. [14:08] It's a big release. They're working hard to get it right. [14:08] Kellisvee: 16.04 will be released in April 2016, yes. [14:08] Kellisvee: It is as big as every other release. [14:08] e101: your card is optimus? [14:08] bekks: Are you on the team? [14:09] thanks tomreyn for your help anyway [14:09] Kellisvee: No. [14:09] e101: you could test indeed if graphics drivers switch would influence your high cpu.. [14:11] e101: can you also try a lightweight browser, chromium to see if cpu goes high [14:12] lotuspsychje, im not sure whether my card is opimus, cant find it in the list of supported cards, [14:12] e101: laptop or desktop? [14:13] laptop [14:13] Volkodav: welcome. i think you will be able to fix it if you reboot as discussed above. [14:14] e101: pastebin sudo lshw -C video please? [14:14] tomreyn: just reversed the changes in /var/lib/dpkg/status and some errors are gone [14:14] see what happens [14:14] how can i activate my second network card and make sure it work properly [14:15] Bassem: sudo lshw -C network, do you see your card there [14:15] lotuspsychje, http://pastebin.com/KhaRaEep [14:16] Does any here use a HUION 1060PLUS Graphics Tablet? [14:16] e101: ok single card, no optimus [14:16] HendlMax: What if someone does? [14:16] lotuspsychje, yes i see it [14:16] bekks: Good question [14:16] Bassem: does both cards show driver= ? [14:17] Does it run flawlessly? Which applications support the use of it? [14:17] HendlMax: Can you ask an Ubuntu-specific support question please? [14:17] lotuspsychje, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14608277/ [14:18] bekks: haha, no. Forget that shit [14:18] Bassem: lemme guess, the card you cant use is realtek? [14:18] lotuspsychje, the other one 3com when i connect the cable to it i dont get internet [14:19] Bassem: ok [14:19] Bassem: try a tail -f /var/log/syslog and plug out/in network cable in that 3com [14:20] tomreyn: same thing - well that article suggests that it points to an invalid inode - how a regular reboot will fix it/ I do not get it [14:20] I was on here earlier talking about wifi troubles with a Toshiba laptop, running Ubuntu 14.o4. Wifi works fine on my parent's laptops, but not on mine. I deleted the wifi connection and was able to put the password to reconnect back again, and it looks like wifi is connected, but the internet still times out every time. I put my stuff on a question site, but I thought maybe you could take a look see and tell me what it might be. [14:20] https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/283102 [14:20] lotuspsychje, it says command not found [14:20] Volkodav: just rebooting wont fix it, only rebooting and having your file system checked at that time will [14:21] Bassem: from terminal: tail -f /var/log/syslog [14:21] HendlMax, 1060plus is not in the digiment huion driver package on github http://digimend.github.io/drivers/digimend/tablets/ [14:21] ohh the chkfsk you mean? [14:21] HendlMax, so test it if it works OOTB, most applications that uses a mouse can be used [14:21] tomreyn: will try === ducasse_ is now known as ducasse [14:22] Volkodav: fsck. you can alternatively boot into the emergency menu and select fsck there [14:22] tomreyn: is in grub menu or do I have to call it manually somehow? [14:22] Ok I got it [14:22] !fsck [14:22] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [14:22] Volkodav: sudo touch /forcefsck , then reboot [14:23] OerHeks: Thank you. I haven't bought it yet. I wanted know if it works and how well it works. I did find positive reports on the older model 610 though [14:23] ... but selecting the emergency option from grub menu and doing fsck on the next menu should work, too [14:24] lotuspsychje, did it and nothing no internet [14:24] I was on here earlier talking about wifi troubles with a Toshiba laptop, running Ubuntu 14.o4. Wifi works fine on my parent's laptops, but not on mine.

[14:25] it keep making an icon like wifi then says you are disconnecting [14:25] lotuspsychje, or should i do the command after i connect the cable? [14:25] Bassem: no first command, then out/in cable [14:26] hello, can someone help me with my boot times? [14:27] lotuspsychje, NetworkManager[1133]: (eth1): device state change: disconnected -> unavailable (reason 'carrier-changed') [30 20 40] [14:28] Bassem: you use same cable as for the other card? [14:29] lotuspsychje, yes its only one cable [14:29] Bassem: you can also try disable ipv6 for that card [14:30] "On PCs that support USB input during startup, this keyboard is useless. This keyboard does not function until an OS loads and has a driver in place to handle its input. In short, you can't use it to modify BIOS settings or navigate boot prompts. If you want to use it in a multi-boot environment, either forget that idea now, or have another keyboard on hand." [14:30] How do I get a board like this to work before Ubuntu loads? [14:30] Kellisvee: some bioses have a setting for legacy usb devices. try turning that on [14:31] Do you assume it's a legacy USB device? [14:31] lotuspsychje, ok i'll try again [14:31] Kellisvee: i only assume that there are settings in the bios for usb devices [14:35] lotuspsychje, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14608427/ === mosene is now known as Guest31127 [14:37] Bassem: not sure on this, perhaps a networking issue: (eth1): device state change: ip-config -> failed (reason 'ip-config-unavailable') [70 120 5] [14:37] hello all.. my question is I just dloaded xmbc from the software center but when i search out the app my system does not find it.... how can i start the app? [14:38] Bassem: did both cards work before on another Os? [14:38] lotuspsychje, didnt try the other card before [14:38] Bassem: ah, maybe you should disable the one you dont use?

[15:25] Becky_: did you use wep or wpa1 wifi encryption on your old router? seems like there is not that issue. but that is unsecure to run today. so i look for a fix [15:26] iwanttolinux: try some, see what you like [15:26] (or what you don't like) [15:26] k1l_ I am not sure about the encryption style on the old router. I never paid attention to that sorry. [15:27] hi [15:27] Becky_: you could try to install a newer kernel for the LTS. so that ships modern drivers most time. [15:27] k1l_ what is the LTS please? [15:28] Do you need a separate boot partition when using gpt partition table with classic bios system? Is it enough to set the root partition have bios_grub flag? [15:28] the 14.04 ubuntu is LTS which means it gets 5 years support. but for working with modern hardware you can install a kernel from ubuntu 15.10 and such. [15:28] a seperate boot partition can make things a lot easier [15:28] jarnos: it's totally up to you though, you don't need one [15:29] ikonia, how can it make things easier? === ghazalmf is now known as Guest6765 [15:29] Becky_: run a "sudo apt update && sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-wily" [15:29] jarnos: if you have a damaged system, you still have /boot protected enough to boot to repeiar [15:29] repair [15:30] ah long term support thanks. I will try doing as you suggest. Thanks k1l_ [15:31] after the install you need to reboot. then you can test if that worked [15:31] ok. I will come back and tell you how it went if you are still here k1l_ [15:35] I'm getting this error trying to add virtualbox - http://vpaste.net/CVAO3 [15:35] should I erase all virtualbox 4.* ? [15:36] baxx: that's an unusual error. what if you use sudo dpkg -i /full/path/to/the/file.deb [15:37] baxx you run dpkg -i with ./ ? [15:37] jelly: i hit a key command by accident in #debian btw :/ [15:37] yeah, no problem [15:37] I'll try the full path now cheers - does it matter where i store the .deb file? [15:38] no [15:38] same error http://vpaste.net/5zalB [15:39] it might matter in some cases, eg. if a FUSE-based filesystem is used without allow_root option === ghazalmf is now known as Guest7915 [15:39] BROS!

[15:40] home isn't encrypted [15:40] gcc: fatal error: stdio.h: No such file or directory [15:40] Hey [15:40] baxx, uninstall 4.3 first [15:40] I want to enable hibernation mod [15:40] I got problems with Unicode in console! [15:41] OerHeks: just purge it? [15:41] iwanttolinux: sudo apt-get install build-essential [15:41] I am using Lubuntu.

[15:41] baxx, that would remove settings to, yes. [15:41] I am new in Linux. [15:42] qwebirc42066, from the terminal just run sudo apt-get purge packagename [15:43] Hi. I'm trying to install the broadcom bluetooth driver. I'm following the instructions here. http://askubuntu.com/questions/632336/bluetooth-broadcom-43142-isnt-working-on-ubuntu I am stuck on step 6. hex2hcd seems to create an empty file. [15:43] jelly: http://vpaste.net/yF2xa [15:43] What is the package name? [15:43] qwebirc42066: the purge suggestion was between baxx and OerHeks. Nobody attempted to answer your question yet. === Becky is now known as Guest57732 [15:43] qwebirc42066: and unless you give more specifics, I bet nobody will :) [15:44] Seveas: Do i need to reboot? I closed terminal after it installed and getting same error === Guest57732 is now known as Becky_ [15:44] Here: [15:44] gogo@gogo:~$ sudo apt-get install supertux-editor-git [sudo] password for gogo: Четене на списъците с пакети...

On the other hand you have to delete old kernels so that the partition doesn't become full. [15:47] ioria: yeah probably ned to purge vbox http://vpaste.net/3qYuX [15:47] I want to change in en_US. [15:47] Seveas, okey, I just entered the channel and just did just see an question about purging so I just assumed it was about a package [15:47] Seveas: http://pastebin.com/HE8keXm3 [15:47] jarnos: just size it well [15:47] qwebirc42066: use a pastebin like paste.ubuntu.com so show the output [15:47] jelly: http://vpaste.net/w3PIy [15:48] qwebirc42066: export LANG=en_US.UTF-8; export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 [15:48] Becky_: you are now using the 4.2 kernel version (that is used in the 15.10 ubuntu too). that has included a more recent driver that fixes an issue with your wifi card. [15:48] baxx it's the first command sudo apt-get remove virtualbox virtualbox-4.* virtualbox-5.0 [15:48] iwanttolinux: then you'll need to provide more infomation about the thing that triggered the error.

I have struggled with this problem for months. It wasn't until today (a snowday) that I had time to sit down and research a solution [15:49] ioria: ah yeah - i went straight down to method 2 [15:49] qwebirc42066: what's this "a" command? [15:49] Just showing messages encoding. [15:49] jelly: so this is something that the system should handle? (the conflict with v 4) [15:50] !cookie | k1l_ [15:50] k1l_: Wow!

[15:52] baxx: that's correct for a 64bit system (including intel-based) [15:53] oh right, cool [15:53] baxx: the patent is from amd. but intel uses the same 64bit tech so it works on both [15:53] baxx: oh, and you DID get a different error, I missed that one. "conflicting packages - not installing virtualbox-5.0" [15:54] so yeah, remove previous virtualbox installation first [15:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14609152/ [15:54] Seveas: How long have you used linux? [15:54] iwanttolinux: that's irrelevant :) [15:54] ikonia, In http://askubuntu.com/a/571788 Rohith Madhavan claims you need a separate /boot partition. Please comment there, if you can. [15:54] qwebirc42066: 14.10 is dead. you need to upgrade to 15.04 [15:55] qwebirc42066: utopic is... yeah, what k1l_ said :) [15:55] qwebirc42066: (and then upgrade to 15.10 at the end of january) [15:55] Why is it 'dead'? [15:55] qwebirc42066: because it only has a 9month lifetime [15:55] qwebirc42066 it's called !eol [15:55] qwebirc42066: only LTS releases are supported for 5 years. [15:55] Windows supported 20y+ Win XP! [15:56] qwebirc42066: no, they did not. [15:56] qwebirc42066: if you want more lifetime stay on 14.04 which is LTS and 5 years support time. [15:56] qwebirc42066: that is just a lie. [15:56] qwebirc42066: you can easily upgrade to the next ubuntu release [15:56] Seveas: :D Ok i'll continue fighting through the frustration. Have a wonderful day [15:56] From where do I download?

[16:06] I am at dad's. [16:06] At home I have 100 MBps. [16:07] your shortage of of RAM is rather going to be a limiting factor then [16:07] 80 [16:08] Will installing steam affect my AMD drivers in 15.10.

[16:18] farooghkz: please pastebin [16:18] http://codepad.org/MJDDypvm [16:18] ya but can u explain a little more i mean if a version is not supported then that means it is not going to work properly? [16:19] e.g. i have suddenly some issues with my wifi in 14.10 and then i installed 14.04 LTS and problem was solved [16:19] !14.10 | abhi_ [16:19] abhi_: Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic Unicorn) was the 21st release of Ubuntu. Support ended on July 23rd, 2015. See !eol, !eolupgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/utopic [16:19] !14.10 [16:19] abhi_ why bother 14.10, it's dead [16:19] farooghkz: generally, please show both input and output, so commands you run and what they output. i'd also like to see your "sudo apt-get update" output [16:20] !upgrade > qwebirc42066 [16:20] qwebirc42066, please see my private message [16:20] farooghkz: just type "sudo apt-get -f install" .

[16:21] I said 10000000000000000000000 times I use LU-BUN-TU, not UBUNTU, OK? [16:21] abhi_: all the security issues since 6months are not fixed on your system. so a 10 year old can hack that [16:21] qwebirc42066 calm down [16:21] qwebirc42066: we told you 100000000000000000 times that its the same for Lubuntu as for ubuntu. [16:21] ok ya now i am using 14.04 LTS :) [16:21] No it is not. [16:22] qwebirc42066: your Lubuntu 14.10 is dead too [16:22] Design is much different. [16:22] qwebirc42066 what's the output of cat /etc/issue [16:22] qwebirc42066: so upgrade to 15.04 now. stop making a drama about it or dreaming of using 16.04. you have to upgrade now [16:22] qwebirc42066: your Lubuntu 14..10 is dead. upgrade now. there is no other way [16:22] 15.10 that is [16:23] Ubuntu 14.10 \n \l [16:23] qwebirc42066 upgrade to lubuntu 15.04 or 15.10, then ask again [16:23] qwebirc42066: upgrade asap [16:23] Where to upgrade? [16:23] qwebirc42066: really? the bot gave you the links 4 times now, 1 time in PM [16:24] !upgrade > qwebirc42066 [16:24] qwebirc42066 easiest, fastes, cleanest would be with a dvd/usb [16:24] I have different GRAPHICAL CLIENT! [16:24] qwebirc42066: that doesnt matter [16:24] Different KDE. [16:24] qwebirc42066: start a terminal "sudo do-release-upgrade" [16:25] qwebirc42066 ok, then download the lubuntu .iso and install it [16:25] @qwebirc i just downloaded iso image of 14.04 LTS, made a bootable usb and then follow every step wizard said :) [16:25] MonkeyDust: abhi_ please stop to confuse him even more [16:25] qwebirc42066 you're seeing problems where there are none [16:25] Finally sudo do-release-upgrade worked! [16:25] GG TNX! [16:26] Nah only errors. [16:26] Updated VirtualBox thanks.... Now the Fedora installer seems to be working -- is fedora particularly 'bleeding' edge then? I didn't realise... [16:28] <|TheWolf|> Hi! Out of curiosity, I wanted to test the live kernel patching introduced in the new kernel, so I installed the 4.2.0-18 kernel from the trusty repositories, rebooted and then installed the linux-generic-lts-wily package. However, uname -a still says I'm on 4.2.0-18, not 4.2.0-25. Is there anything else I have to do to trigger the patching? [16:28] baxx: ask the fedora guys if they know if and why their isos dont run in some virtualbox versions [16:28] <|TheWolf|> It's a 14.04.3 server, btw [16:29] jarnos: this depends on how you install chrome. i'd suggest you install chromium instead, though, since it's open source and an official ubuntu package. [16:30] jarnos: ...which means it'll get security support, too. [16:30] My Linux is now updating thanks Rito. [16:31] Hello Fellows back again [16:31] I changed the bios settings still no sound [16:32] |TheWolf|: i don't actually know how live kernel patching works in ubuntu, if it already works there. but i doubt it works the way you seem to expect it to work, i.e. i don't expect that installing a different kernel image will result in this being switched to during runtime. [16:32] <|TheWolf|> tomreyn : yeah, I kinda thought it wouldn't be that easy, but I didn't find any info on how to do it, so I just tried it. [16:32] On the front I have a hisser and on the back no sound. It just gives the output from the mic. [16:34] |TheWolf|: live kernel patching support in linux is just the kernel's side allowing some additional utility to apply (security, could be other, but that's the primary purpose) patches to the existing / running kernel image in memory. [16:34] tomreyn, unfortunately, I have some issues with chromium-browser generally and in 15.10 specifically: Some WWW-sites, such as http://www.katsomo.fi does not work by chromium-browser, at least, if Chrome is not installed. chromium-browser seems to start slowly in 15.10 and does not respond nicely to custom dpi setting (in Xubuntu's settings). [16:37] tomreyn, how do you install chrome so that it gets security updates (as such)? [16:37] jarnos_: hmm this web page seems to generally work here (and play videos) in chromium-browser, but i'm on 14.04 [16:38] hello guys, i need help regarding RAM management , my laptop got 4 GB of RAM which I use for android development.which runs following applications:1.android-studio 2.firefox 3.genymotion 4.ubuntu-server(on virtualbox) now free RAM is very low i.e 120-200 MB [16:38] can anyone help ? except solution of upgrading my RAM. [16:39] !ram | centric, linux like using ram, ram is fast [16:39] centric, linux like using ram, ram is fast: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ [16:39] jarnos_: you would need to ask google (the company) about this, since this is not a supported ubuntu package. [16:39] jarnos_: I thought that the non-free google installer already added its own repo upon install for that. [16:40] SchrodingersScat: i'm aware of that. but system hangs a bit. gradle takes too much time to execute app. [16:41] !swapiness [16:42] !swap [16:42] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [16:42] you can set swapiness, if you think that's the problem [16:42] SchrodingersScat: is increasing swapiness will solve my problem? [16:43] No, wouldn't say that, but you tried for a factoid about it, up to you. [16:43] If you think it's slow when it tries to swap, but then if it needs to swap maybe you want it to, idk [16:44] isnt there is any RAM management tool in ubuntu? [16:44] besides htop and top [16:44] The kernal? [16:44] SchrodingersScat: most ram will be consumed by your VMs there. consider reducing their memory footprint. if that's not an option consider switching to a different virtualization or containerization software stack. finally you can probably save a good a mount of memory by switching to a light-weight (or no) window manage / desktop and from 64-bit to 32-bit linux. [16:45] SchrodingersScat, it installs a repo, but so far the updates of the package have been in the section of regular updates in Software updater, not in the section of security updates. So I wonder, if I install only the updates in the security updates section, do I get security updates installed for Google Chrome? [16:45] centric: actually what i just said was meant for you [16:45] sorry SchrodingersScat [16:45] np [16:45] Evening. I have a Ubuntu server setup with Wine and an X11 app. I'd like the server to boot, auto login to a user, start xvfb, run the app, and have a VNC connection available for remote control if needed. Any thoughts on the best approach? [16:46] tomreyn: i'm using vb with given 512 mb RAM which works fine is dere any other alternatives? [16:46] jarnos_: oh, k, then yeah that's something up to google. I wouldn't notice because I update everything, so wouldn't distinguish between security or not, not sure if google distinguishes. [16:46] camason_, Just write yourself a shells script and have it execute on booting [16:47] ciao [16:47] could I just launch xvfb, then launch the app, then launch VNC server - all as a specific user account? [16:48] where is the root www directory in ispconfig 3 ? [16:48] centric: "vb" is? [16:49] tomreyn, do you also have Chrome installed? It may not show as many videos by chromium as by chrome. Mainly adds and news. IIRC I had this so in 14.04. [16:49] !server | camason_ [16:49] camason_: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Trusty (Trusty Tahr 14.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide - Support in #ubuntu-server [16:50] yup, I'm aware of that thanks. I just have 1 X based app that I can run without gui, just basic X display using xvfb [16:51] camason_: Should be easy enough to start it with xvfb-run, I've not connected to an xvfb window while it was running though. [16:51] jarnos_: i don't have chrome installed, and it's not supported here. You can most definitely get chromium to work well for general use on every LTS release, possibly on other releases, too. [16:52] I'll give that a go SchrodingersScat . I already have xvfb working with vnc - simple as specifyng the display [16:55] I want to remove the default bluetooth application. What is its name? [16:56] tomreyn, I know, but I contacted the customer service of the website before, and they told they don't support chromium-browser, but chrome. [16:57] tomreyn, I which I knew what caused it the some videos did not work in chromium-browser, if Chrome was not installed. [16:57] camason_: do you use x11vnc? [16:57] I was, yes [16:59] jarnos_: sorry, can't help you there (but remember i told you videos work on chromium-browser on 14.04) [17:02] tomreyn, can you watch e.g. http://www.katsomo.fi/#!/jakso/556222?toista beyond the initial adds? [17:03] hi, I was running an emulator that used the full screen, had to kill -9 it when it broke/glitched, but the resolution did not go back to the way it was. how do I learn how to fix this myself? [17:03] hi, I am running lubuntu 14.04. I just installed kubuntu-desktop and did reboot. but nothing happens. how can I change everything to kde? kdm is not installed by the package kubuntu-desktop. should I install it manually? thanks. [17:03] jarnos_: there's no video embedded on this page that i can see. [17:04] excelsiora: read up on xrandr [17:04] camason_: it's not letting me connect, it gives me the default :99 screen, is that no good, or do I need another option? [17:04] xrandr? [17:04] SchrodingersScat, I was running xvfb manually, launching the app into that display, then starting VNC remotely. I'm just trying it with xvfb-run, but failing [17:05] Good morning everyone - I'm hoping someone can help me with a mouse problem i'm having. [17:05] sgo11: the desktop you wish to run can be selected on the login screen. [17:05] tomreyn, oh, I can see the video by Chrome. But it may also be that the video's visibility is restricted geographically. [17:06] I've installed Lubuntu onto an old lapttop so that I can play Counterstrike (i'm snowed in away from my main PC), and everything is running fine, however, my mouse 'stutters' and stops moving horizontally if i make a very fast movement [17:06] tomreyn: thanks, delete the xml file in the .config/? I suppose it will create a new one. [17:06] Slow movements register fine. The mouse only freezes if I jerk it very quickly [17:06] SchrodingersScat aha, -f $HOME/.Xauthority [17:06] tomreyn, but the login screen is running lightdm, right? I want to change everything to kubuntu. I don't think kde is using lightdm by default. [17:06] is there a setting that i need to change, or is this the mouse itself? [17:08] CounterStrike: you could try adjusting mouse sensitivity and acceleration with the lxinput package. Might help? [17:08] excelsiora: i'm not sure which configuration file you are referring to. xrandr is a command which allows you to set the X resolution (amongst other). you can use it to set your desired resolution in situations where you need to kill an application which set it to a different resolution. [17:08] camason_: that goes in the xvfb-run ? [17:08] @mcphail, I will t ry that, thank you. [17:08] SchrodingersScat yeah [17:08] sgo11: if you would like to install kdm, then i suggest you do this. ;) [17:09] camason_: default: ./.Xauthority, so then how do I patch in? [17:09] ssh user@host -L 5900:localhost:5900 'x11vnc -localhost -display :99' [17:10] sgo11: and yes lightdm is used by default on ubuntu [17:10] 1;2c [17:11] Adjusting the acceleration to the lowest setting (my preferred option), it seems to have made it worse [17:11] is there a way to set the mouse to raw input? [17:12] it gets better with higher acceleration, but acceleration is not wanted in Counterstrike [17:12] What was the bug referring to the update manager suggestion to upgrade to 15.04 from 14.04? [17:13] tomreyn, thanks for your reply. I just want to know the exact steps to switch from ubuntu to kubuntu. because I never use kubuntu so everything is guess. I did google, but no luck. everybody is talking about installing kubuntu-desktop. That is not enough. [17:14] sgoll, just back up your files and download the ISO for kubuntu and install it. [17:14] CounterStrike: ? Are you playing cs in ubuntu ? [17:15] I am trying to Silenced. I am snowed away from my main PC, and need to quelch my addiction. The hardware i have is really bad, so my only option was to install Lubuntu [17:15] The game runs great on steam, but my mouse isnt behaving properly [17:16] Steam working fine in Lubuntu ?. I face a lot of problem with steam in ubuntu === shill is now known as Guest69801 [17:16] I just installed it with the package manager and it worked without any tweaking [17:16] downloaded Counterstrike, set it to the lowest settings ,and away it went [17:16] its just my mouse, it 'freezes' if i try to move quickly [17:16] CounterStrike: Which package manager ? [17:17] Synaptic [17:17] sgo11: i don't know what exactly you want, so i will keep on guessing. maybe you want to "tasksel kubuntu-full" [17:18] CounterStrike: Do u face any resolution issues with CS ? [17:19] I'm running it in a non-native 4:3 resolution (1024x768), with the black bars on the sides [17:19] its working well [17:20] the mouse issue is happening outside of Counterstrike too. [17:20] CounterStrike: What is the video rendering method ? OpenGL or D3D ? [17:20] it feels like a software thing... like it thinks i dont really want to move my mouse that fast but i do [17:20] OpenGL [17:23] camason_: cool, got it to work on one machine, think I needed to add something, -s '-ac' [17:23] I don't face any issue regarding with mouse . Its working fine that way [17:23] holaaa [17:23] CounterStrike: I think it must be hardware related. I haven't had any issues playing CS on several machines [17:23] Hello fellows I changed motherboard on my pc and after that I have no sound on Ubuntu 14.04 [17:23] My mouse issue is happening even outside the game [17:23] If i try to move the cursor too fast it will 'freeze' [17:23] If I install the 16.04 daily should I be able to upgrade it to the release or will I likely have to re-install? [17:23] hmm [17:24] it could be hardware related. its an old apple mouse from the mid-00's [17:24] sandah, sure, you will be able to upgrade to the final release [17:24] How do i use gcc to compile for C11? [17:24] thanks OerHeks [17:24] hola genteee [17:24] CounterStrike: you could try the lowlatency kernel to see if it improves responsiveness [17:24] I tried to play around with aslamixer and also I reloaded alsa as many times as possible. The only think I managed is to hear what I say from the mic to headphones- speakers [17:24] wero: English please [17:24] hooooooooooooolaa alguien q hable spanis [17:25] tomreyn, thanks a lot for your help. I think I just try kdm first. [17:25] hello [17:25] how would i try that mcphail? Does ubuntu handle all the kernel configing, i just install the package? [17:25] is -std=c99 C11?

[18:05] I can't find auto hide for the unity panel. [18:05] Giles1: put a .infront of the name [18:05] Giles1: you can't hide hidden [18:05] k1l_: Yes, the files are already hidden. [18:05] Giles1: and they sould be hidden by default. if not press ctrl+h [18:05] excelsiora there's also this ... https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4653463/Ubuntu%20Linux%20Toolbox.pdf [18:06] k1l_: ctrl+h hides them until the next time I open up nautilus. [18:06] does anyone use ubuntu-mate 15.10. i have an issue where I changed to compiz in mate-tweak?. when I login into the mate session I just get the wallpaper background, No icons or panel? [18:06] Giles1: are the config files owned by root because you messed with a sudo command running nautilus? [18:06] flux242: Yes you can show hidden files, and then how do you hide them again? [18:07] Giles1: then the setting would not be saved like you say [18:07] Mc-Kay: doest the video driver work properly? [18:08] Yes it does, using the default driver. I did have it working from install [18:09] Giles1: to hide hidden is like to unhide plainly visible [18:09] k1l_: find /home/giles -uid 0 - none found [18:10] K1l_: I think its more of a mate bug todo with compiz, I've been searching for hours on the ubuntu forums/ and google, I do not like the idea of installing again, take me hours on this connection.

[18:53] common guys ur to straight if it comes to topic or offtopic [18:53] I've done a apt-get update / upgrade and listed the installed packages and the one machine doesn't have 3.19.0-47 listed as an install [18:53] take it easy we have saturday [18:53] ioria vivid stack? [18:53] ubuntu474, install it, logout, change desktop, login [18:53] mike3, yep, trusty with 15.04 kenerl [18:53] ubuntu-mate: please keep this channel clear for support. its unfair for the users who really need help [18:54] OerHeks: Tried it, using 'sudo apt-get install unity'. Did not show up in the menu. [18:54] what is vivid stack? [18:54] i need help with a friend in the high desert..he is getting his first ubuntu tower on ebay right now..does anyone know of a ubuntu guru/geek in the hi desert that might help him kick the tires on ubuntu..my friend is elder-- 70+ but was a programmer in a previous life [18:54] thanks for any help [18:54] ubuntu474, try apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [18:54] mike3, i told you ... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [18:54] ubuntu474, should be. but if you use lubunu, was there a reason to use one of the least recourse heavy DE [18:55] OerHeks: It seems to be a very large package. Are you sure? [18:55] mike3, it means probably that has recentrly installed [18:55] random_user_01: Honestly, I like the look and feel of Unity. [18:55] ioria I'm reading on it. Looks like it was bundled . My one server has been up for a couple years. which is probably why it remained on that kernel. [18:55] whatever, doesn't amtter to me. [18:55] ubuntu474, yes, unity is part of ubuntu desktop, not a single package [18:55] I have installed MySQL 5.6 but cannot get the corresponding headers [18:55] Happy I found the one server that was broken. That pacticular one should be rebuilt anyhow [18:56] mike3, yes [18:56] should the ubuphone ui be like unity, btw? [18:56] ! Manual | Guest61719 you say hello but not specify with what [18:56] Guest61719 you say hello but not specify with what: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [18:56] Bashing-om, also, why is the window on opening stating in the corner, and then jumping to the middle. looks really bad [18:57] So the other night I decided to go back to my roots and look at slackware. :) Wow I don't have time for that distro. [18:57] lol [18:57] ok thanks-- [18:57] slapt-get still wasn't pulling in the proper dependancies [18:57] I heart package managers that work. :) [18:57] random_user_01: On that one, I have no idea myself . [18:57] anyhow, thanks for the guidance and help guys. [18:57] i'm off. Time to fix up some stuff around the house [18:57] Bashing-om, but it happens to you too? [18:58] mike3, you use slapt-get ? [18:58] Bashing-om, (opening, not minimize maximize) [18:58] random_user_01: I do not run unity as my DE . so no, I can not relate . [18:59] Bashing-om, i see thanks [18:59] anyone that runs unity: open firefox and it starts in the corner and then pops to middle? === jbwiv_1 is now known as jbwiv_ [19:01] i guess it must be the default to use the most space, then it remembers firefox last position and jumps to that [19:04] hello! I am trying to access my vps via vnc to setup the installation of ubuntu 15.04. whenever I do this I get Server disconnected (code: 1000, reason: Target closed). is there a way to fix this? [19:05] random_user_01: as standard it will be placed as it was last time. [19:06] k1l_, yes, but before that, it gets placed by compiz "smartly" which is a oversight by ubuntu [19:06] it should come preconfigured to ignore ff [19:07] random_user_01: do you use the "drag to the edge/corner" tiling? that is somewhat different from the "i size and place the windows by manual dragging". at least for firefox (on my system) [19:08] what does the "time" portion do in the "sudo apt-get update && time sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" command? [19:09] ttal: it prints timing information after the execution of sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [19:09] bekks: thanks a lot! [19:09] k1l_, well, its enabled as per default, but i did not use it for firefox. it will remember the position of the window like you said, but apply that after it is placed by compiz by whatever setting is used [19:10] random_user_01: yes. same for me [19:11] k1l_, i know its a little thing, but its wrong. i have to find a setting to prevent ff to use last position [19:11] random_user_01: it doesnt respawn as the "use half screen" like i use it with the tiling setting when it was closed but starts with the other size. [19:13] random_user_01: you could install compiz settings manager , don't remember how the plugin is called but you can configure it there, add an exception or just disable it completely [19:13] ccsm [19:13] hi guys [19:14] can you recommend some simple but powerfull editor on linux? (already have gvim, but need another one) [19:14] hi [19:14] dE? [19:14] xfce [19:14] DE? [19:14] hhee, What's wrong with vim? === Piper-Off is now known as Monthrect [19:15] llldino, well.... some action need complex customisation [19:15] k1l_, i already installed it and looked for a solution. you can set a different behavior for firefox there, but i would prefer to disable the last position for firefox instead [19:15] when multiple interfaces are active that have a potential default route, and the one that has the current default route goes down, is the new default route set before or after if-post-down.d is run? [19:16] hhee, What do you mean? [19:16] k1l_, there is a file that is responsable for this. i try to make it read only [19:16] random_user_01: sorry, i am not too much into that stuff. [19:16] k1l_, no problem, i will find something [19:17] random_user_01: and the thing is: compiz is kind of end of life since with the new unity they will not use that and others like kde or gnome dont use compiz anymore. [19:18] k1l_, cool with me. but i heard that 4 years ago i think for the first time. maybe this time its really over [19:19] random_user_01: its just that most things there are in "keeping the state" mode and not really going to rewrite stuff with a big effort. [19:20] just warning you :) [19:22] hello friends, is there any way to see the battery-cycles of an iphone4s with ubuntu/linux? [19:23] k1l_, right. i personally have no problem with this things changing. there is much choice in linux so theres usually an alternative [19:24] Hey, how can I tell why my computer shut down? It keeps stalling and rebooting on its own. [19:25] OneM_Industries, google for "reboot on panic", turn this off and you will see debug output on your screen on next stall [19:25] What is the ~/.pki/ folder for? [19:25] OneM_Industries: look into /var/log system log or the old system log.0 or .1 [19:25] I suspect that my dad may have killed it when he shocked a USB port that goes to a PCIE card earlier. [19:26] AlexPortable, gnome-keyring i think, not sure [19:26] what's it for? [19:26] I'm trying to make an install script of my current installation [19:26] so I can sort of duplicate the system settings on a new install/system [19:27] does it contains wifi passwords? [19:28] AlexPortable, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Keyring [19:29] Hello fellows due to sound probs I installed the linux-image-4.2.0-25 kernel but somehow I cannot login when I use tihs kernel. [19:29] this* [19:30] And I am thinking because I wanted to fix this prob I tweaked a lot on pusleaudio and alsa is there a way to restore the initial settings? [19:30] pc_magas: did you "tweaked" pulse audio and alsa? [19:31] pc_magas: what sounds issues? What Ubuntu install? Is this a kernel from the official Ubuntu repositories? If not, from where did you download it? [19:31] xangua, yes I mean ti tried many setting to make it work and finally I discovered that I was needed a new kernel. [19:31] ioria: thanks. I assume wifi is stored there too? [19:32] xangua,Of course is from oficial repos [19:32] AlexPortable, there or in default keyring ... give me a sec .. [19:32] xangua, all I cound hear in my speakers was the input from mic. [19:32] 1 of 4, not bad pc_magas [19:33] All I want is to purde and reiintall the pulseaudio and alsa but how can I do that [19:33] ? [19:33] AlexPortable, take a look in .local/share/keyrings [19:34] May I have an unaffiliated cloak, please? === omar99 is now known as Guest67823 [19:35] omar99: ask in #freenode [19:40] AlexPortable, did you install google chrome ?

[19:55] adminpidar: Which is irrelevant for an Ubuntu support channel. [19:56] Hey( [19:56] From ##windows me kicks to ubuntu from ubuntu to ##linux from ##linux to ##windows [19:56] adminpidar: You cannot install a windows kernel in Linux. You cannot directly use Windows drivers in Linux. [19:57] Hey.It's really [19:57] I can send screenshot [19:57] i can't send screenshot [19:57] adminpidar: Do you have an Ubuntu-specific support question? [19:57] Yes [19:58] How to install windows drivers in ubuntu? [19:58] Such as puppy linux [19:58] You cannot. [19:58] adminpidar: There's a lot of Linux drivers too. [19:58] but in puppy linux i can install windows driver [19:58] adminpidar: With ndiswrapper? [19:58] adminpidar: Ubuntu isnt Puppy Linux. In Ubuntu, you cant. [19:58] Yes [19:58] aq2 it ndiswrapper [19:58] adminpidar: I think there's a GUI for ndiswrapper too [19:58] ndiswraper can be safely considered as being a dead horse.

[20:18] Sounds like adminpidar needs another ban. [20:19] hi lblume [20:21] I have a friend who is going to a 3rd world country with an ASUS X551M cheap laptop (celeron, 4gb ram, 500 hdd with Win8.1). I want to provide him with a usb stick and an easy to use live linux cd that can be used as a backup in case windows becomes available. I know that there are a bazillion options out there. Anybody willing to recommend what is the current state of the art in simple and easy to use live cd distros ? [20:22] duri: With a Windows 8 computer he'll have to first disable secure boot. [20:23] duri: you can install ubuntu on the usb stick and then he can boot from the stick === newbie is now known as Guest1314 [20:24] should I go with regular ubuntu or some simple variants Lubuntu, xubuntu ? [20:24] duri: it's personal preference, there is no 'best' distro [20:24] Hello, everyone. [20:25] It has been a while since I have been in this channel [20:25] duri: XFCE is fast, Lubuntu is even faster, but more bare bones [20:25] does xubuntu come with livecd option ? [20:25] I think 4gb should be enough for XFCE [20:26] I use Xubuntu 14.04 and are very satisfied [20:26] duri: The mate version is probably the most customizable light version. [20:26] hello, here is a question.... I have taken a backup off a centos server which is my website and want to restore it on a ubuntu system on my lan.... whats the best way.... its wordpress based [20:26] ok. thank you guys ... will go with xubuntu [20:27] duri: there is also, Linux Mint XFCE [20:27] good for beginners [20:27] That's not Ubuntu [20:27] Linus_: but this is #ubuntu [20:28] Ubuntu is easy to handle [20:28] Canon: doesnt have wordpress a backup function? that would be easiest. [20:29] Canon: easiest would probably be a centos vm, same version as the server [20:29] Since when is CentOS Ubuntu. [20:30] Botchlab: so you didn't have anything to add to the conversation [20:31] how was the backup made, how was WP installed on centos, how is your current wordpress config, lots of things to answer for yourself [20:32] hello [20:32] when you install an application, does it install system files too, like windows applications may do? [20:32] Depends on the application. === mnepton is now known as mneptok [20:34] bekks, ok [20:34] Some LIB files can be installed [20:34] another question, suppose I want to remove apache server, how can I also uninstall its dependencis? [20:36] net2014: the packagemanager will mark the depencies as not used anymore and a "sudo apt-get autoremove" will remove them [20:41] k1l, I see [20:41] thank you [20:42] this command: apt --installed list ~ grep httpd how is interpreted? [20:42] net2014: can you rephrase that question? [20:44] k1l, yes, I wanted to enter apt --installed list | grep httpd but I entered apt --installed list ~ grep httpd. Then I got a list with some package I don't recognise [20:44] net2014: what do you want to do at all? [20:45] k1l, well, I wanted to try getting a list of installed packages then filter to see if I have a certain one [20:46] net2014: "dpkg -l | grep packagename" is fine for that [20:46] k1l, thanks [20:46] but ~ actually means something in the filesystem? [20:47] net2014, apt --installed list is like apt-cache policy , but ~ does not make sense for me [20:47] net2014, it's your home [20:48] ioria, thanks [20:50] net2014, np [20:52] hola [20:54] will this work to change permissions on my hard drive # chmod u+777 /dev/sdd [20:55] sidney: No. [20:55] sidney: Whats the actual problem behind that? [20:55] sidney: ^ +1 .. change the permissions on the mount point . [20:55] I have to enter a password to open the drive [20:56] sidney: changing permissions will not fix that. === ghazalmf is now known as Guest27675 [20:57] ownership is what I need? or auto mount maybe? === Guest27675 is now known as ghazalmf [20:59] sidney, chown user:user mountpoint [20:59] sidney: Depending on your use case . Having to enter the password generally - for security reasons - is a good thing . [20:59] sidney, -R maybe [21:00] sidney, what file system ? [21:00] NTFS [21:00] sidney, no need then... idr === MiningMarsh is now known as Guest68345 [21:01] sidney, chown the mounpoint anyway [21:02] sidney: See : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1604251 <-HOWTO: Mount NTFS partitions with specific ownership/permissions . [21:03] Bashing-om, maybe I'll leave it as is [21:03] hey [21:03] does an ubuntu kernel count as ubuntu? [21:03] Ok thanks [21:03] No. [21:04] sidney: I do .. I protect my data as much as possible . only mount my data drive on a need to basis . [21:04] EliKLAAS: what do you mean, what's your support question? [21:04] EliKLAAS: and whats your actual OS, since it isnt Ubuntu? [21:05] EliKLAAS: the kernel counts as linux [21:07] command for finding wireless driverin ubuntu 14.04.3 [21:08] Does Ubuntu usually have a problem with dual monitors? [21:08] No. === Botchlab is now known as mistfag [21:12] anyone know which version of ubuntu fully supports Intel braswell SoC? [21:12] specifically trying to get it to recognize the Intel HD Graphics on it [21:12] this is a ECS Liva X2 [21:14] dmfrey: google says 15.10 should work [21:14] Problem is video playback, SD is fine, HD ok, but not great, and Bluray is studdering [21:14] Ben64, thanks, I couldn't find anything definitive [21:15] the Additional Drivers doesn't recognize the driver. It sees it, but says everything is unknown [21:17] dmfrey: Intel provides the driver, incorporated into the kernel . There is no other in our software repository . [21:18] i'm trying to connect to tightvnc on AWS but it's not working out. i have opened inbound ports 5900-5950 and have this command running: 2054 pts/0 S 0:00 Xtightvnc :1 -desktop X -auth /home/ubuntu/.Xauthority -geometry 1024x768 -depth 24 -rfbwait 120000 -rfbauth /home/ubuntu/.vnc/passwd -rfbport 5901 -fp /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/ -co /et [21:18] hmm, i am trying to use this a mythtv frontend [21:18] dmfrey: what is the PCI Vendor:Device ID for the device? [21:18] and playback is not smooth [21:19] intel is good supported in the kernel,AFIAIK, did you see intel-microcode in add driver? [21:19] dmfrey: To see that the driver is loaded ' sudo lshw -C display ' in the configuration line should be "i915" . [21:19] I can't wait for my pine64 [21:19] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 22b1 (rev 21) === SHADOW is now known as Guest94622 [21:20] ping [21:20] dmfrey: right; can you do "lspci -nn -s 0:02.0" and give us the complete [Vendor:Device] ID from the end of the line [21:20] configuration: driver=i915 latency=0 [21:21] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:22b1] (rev 21) [21:21] dmfrey: Right, that double-confirms it. You have the correct driver loaded, and it is the correct driver [21:21] haha... correct driver loaded, and it matches what the device claims, rather [21:22] hmm, thanks. I will jump in the mythv channel to see which playback profile is correct for this [21:23] dmfrey: There may be better support in the v4.4 kernel, from what I'm seeing [21:23] TJ-, i was wondering if that would be the case [21:24] is that easy to upgrade? [21:25] looks like there is a ppa for it [21:26] dmfrey: 974 commits into the i915 driver between v4.2 and v4.4 [21:27] !mainline | dmfrey [21:27] dmfrey: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel.

[21:27] details: http://dpaste.com/203E5CF [21:28] TJ-: fdisk says 2TB [21:29] axisys: there are a *lot* of fake USB devices out there that claim to be large but are, in fact, wrapping around on a smaller underlying device. Was it cheap, or expensive? [21:29] TJ-: cheap [21:31] do non DE edition XPS run linux well? [21:31] axisys: the reason I think it may be a fake is that when they're formatted and data is written beyond their real size (lets say its really 512MB) then the data written by the OS to 512MB+ wraps to the start of the disk again. They 'work' until they've been written beyond the true size. In these cases the firmware in them is deliberately (fraudulently) reporting incorrect sizes. [21:31] Hello everyone. New linux user here. I have a question. Which of these ( http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html ) options should I pick if I'm using Xubuntu 14 on a 32 bit-system? === rahul is now known as Guest1232 [21:31] Guest26009: look at project sputnik. that should support all xps [21:32] TJ-: bought it for 18 dollars [21:32] axisys: "no valid superblock" is one symptom we see, when that area has been overwritten by other data [21:32] axisys: $18 for 2TB? I call fake for sure === Pseudo is now known as Pkg [21:32] heh.. learned my lesson I guess .. :-) [21:33] thanks [21:33] bought it from wish [21:33] axisys: we've had a few users with devices claiming to be ITE (vendor IF 048d) like that [21:33] axisys: right; you're the 2nd user I recall saying they bought from that site with this same issue === Pkg is now known as Pseudo [21:33] ok uninstall the app wish .. [21:33] uninstalling... === nuno is now known as Nuno === Nuno is now known as NunoZZ [21:35] TJ-: thanks.. trashed it.. call it a small pay for my stupidity and greed.. hehe [21:36] 4.4 is installing now [21:37] W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/skl_guc_ver4.bin for module i915 [21:37] that seems directly related to my issue [21:37] dmfrey: there should be a linux-firmware package there, too [21:39] no firmware deb on http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4-wily/ [21:40] dmfrey: hmmm; never noticed that is missing before now! [21:41] i am gonna look in the 4.3 dir [21:41] not in 4.3 either [21:44] it is just a warning [21:44] found a bug about it on launchpad [21:44] gonna reboot that with the 4.4 kernel [21:45] how do i get my screen to lock when the lid is closed in 14.04? i'm having a problem trying to solve this [21:46] anyone?? [21:47] hello bqllpd just got it what's up? [21:47] s/it/in/ [21:47] i need my screen to lock when the lid is closed for security, but there seems to be conflicting software and it wont work [21:47] bqllpd, you should go to settings - powermanagment [21:48] did that... checkd "lock when the lid is closed" but nothing [21:48] Version? [21:48] Can someone help me with an issue I'm having with Chromium on Ubuntu 15.10? Shortcuts for web apps don't have any icons... [21:48] uninstalled light locker, installed xscreensaver but they do nothing [21:49] try xlock [21:49] which version of powermanager? [21:49] bqllpd: which version of Ubuntu, you've likely already let us know, but as stated earlier just got in [21:49] 14.04 [21:50] i think it might be 14.04.5 [21:50] bqllpd, system setting; power; tell it to suspend when lid is closed, then under brightness and lock tell it to require password when waking from suspend. [21:50] xlock works well and can be downloaded using synaptic http://www.tux.org/~bagleyd/xlockmore.html [21:50] im in xfce for an older computer [21:51] bqllpd: cool man, all of these details are important DE, version of Ubuntu etc. [21:52] bqllpd: you can manually lock the screen, correct? [21:52] gnome screensaver says to stop and let xscreensaver run [21:53] sometimes manual is glitchy too... hibernated sometimes and there are conflicting programs right after a fresh upgrade [21:53] bqllpd: what cli commands are you running to suspend? [21:53] i have a radio station on my computer and 5 roommates [21:54] bqllpd: so the main thing is to ensure that the OS is locked so that no one other than yourself has access [21:54] ? === arkadiusz is now known as Guest64607 [21:55] try ctl+alt+del to lock, then there's the two lock types for the indicator icon and the default in the panel [21:56] bqllpd: it seems likely from what you've described at this time that both xscreensaver and gnome-screensaver are running at the same time, which is likely causing the current issues [21:56] only one os... i started out installing 12.04 then updated/upgraded installed xubuntu-desctop rebooted then upgraded to 14.04.5 no option for just 14.04 [21:56] bqllpd: take a look at http://askubuntu.com/questions/64086/how-can-i-change-or-install-screensavers [21:58] Hi [21:59] bqllpd: if you're still unsure of what to do please provide the following information, 'dpkg -l '*saver*'' into http://paste.ubuntu.com/ or a GitHub Gist [21:59] ok [22:00] corrado: What's your question? [22:00] 4.4 kernel didn't help [22:00] gotta be some other setting somewhere in mythtv [22:00] no question, only try... [22:01] dmfrey: is the Xorg driver configuring correctly (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) ? [22:02] corrado: do not use this room to test your irc connection [22:02] this is rediculous [22:02] bqllpd: what's up ? [22:02] now there's no screen saver at all [22:03] bqllpd: what commands did you run? [22:03] the hell... can't even install xlock [22:03] bqllpd: well, the most minimal would be slock [22:03] i just uninstalled xscreensaver, but there's no gnome screensaver [22:03] damnit [22:03] bqllpd: can you please provide the output as I asked for above? [22:04] i dont fucking care anymore... fuck this computer [22:05] !language [22:05] The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [22:06] lol hes not a happy camper [22:10] TJ-, no errors reported [22:12] it could be the xorg driver version in use has issues; there've been quite a few fixes to that upstream in the last 6 months or so === asnetuh is now known as dotpixis [22:15] TJ-, everything seems to be ok with it with the 4.4 version. I think its something with mythfrontend at this point [22:16] mythfrontend should just die without any log message as to why it crashed === liam_ is now known as Guest79222 [22:19] xdcc send #list [22:19] !list | gogeta [22:19] gogeta: bekks: No warez here!

[22:26] dotpixis: what version of xubuntu are you using? [22:28] yigal: 3.19.0-47-generic #53~14.04.1-Ubuntu [22:29] dotpixis: no my friend that's the kernel version, what version of Ubuntu are you using? [22:29] 14.04.1 [22:29] dotpixis: and to my 1st question, what do you notice about the volume, is it reverting to the same volume? [22:30] dotpixis: what are you using to play music, I see this which seems related https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm-gtk-greeter/+bug/1458933 [22:30] Launchpad bug 1458933 in lightdm-gtk-greeter (Ubuntu) "No volume control on screen lock - Volume goes to 100%" [Undecided,Fix released] [22:31] yigal: through some scetchy testing it looks like it does revert to the same volume every time [22:32] dotpixis: I'd try the suggestion of the last post [22:32] yigal: to answer your last question; i'm using firefox to play my music... [22:34] dotpixis: oh wait this looks perhaps even closer to your issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-locker/+bug/1310220 [22:34] Launchpad bug 1310220 in light-locker (Ubuntu) "System sound volume gets reduced when screen lock is activated" [Undecided,Invalid] [22:34] dotpixis: so perhaps it's an issue with Light Locker [22:37] dotpixis: if disabling the service is the solution please let us know === d is now known as Guest61319 [22:45] okay so i've tried: changeing power manager to set monitor sleep mode to suspend, every setting for auto locking with a 1 second delay, enabeling and disableing it, disabeling it stopped locking the screen so i figure a restart is not needed. I then tried lock on suspend on and off... so far the audio still plays at the same 25% of max. [22:46] what permissions do the web browsers have when the session is locked? [22:47] dotpixis: which session, locked by whom or what? [22:47] hi [22:48] bekks: firefox normal, locked by light locker dm [22:48] latest version of firefox [22:48] dotpixis: the firefox is running as your normal user. [22:48] but do those permissions continue after the session is locked? [22:49] * dotpixis is about ready to nuke their computer [22:49] ty for all the help [22:50] interesting; i just lost all of my workspaces except one... [22:50] this is the second time this has happened, the first time i thought it was a fluke [22:51] all i have been doing is irc, firefox, and locking/unlocking my sessions [22:55] how do i use sublime by default to edit text/code on my system [22:55] open with other application hates me [22:56] /usr/share/applications/defaults.list has no mentions of gedit anywhere === bizukifu is now known as Guest11135 === vincent__ is now known as Guest32608 [22:58] boxmein: what version of Ubuntu are you using? [22:59] 15.10 with unity and gnome files as the file manager :D [22:59] yigal: ^ [23:00] sublime is paid software [23:01] OerHeks: however the ability to set a particular application to a given mimetype isn't [23:02] http://askubuntu.com/questions/396938/how-do-i-make-sublime-text-3-the-default-text-editor [23:03] pretty old issue :-( they must learn packaging. [23:03] boxmein: one issue is that there isn't a singular mimetype text/code so you'll need to set this for different extensions, e.g. C++, Python, Ruby or what ever type of coding you're doing [23:04] OerHeks: did that [23:04] OerHeks: no effect! [23:04] yigal: true... but I just globally replaced all defaults.list entries mentioning gedit with sublime_text [23:04] the desktop file exists [23:04] so the open-with entry exists [23:05] boxmein: as stated earlier, what is the file extension are you testing on? [23:05] it will take effect after logout/login i guess [23:05] boxmein: not sure if I stated that earlier, but we should, what are you testing on? [23:06] quick question. i'm running ubuntu 15.10 and kernel 4.2.0. can i just upgrade to kernel 4.4? that works, right? [23:07] good evening. anyone running openchange in ubuntu 15.10? every time I try connecting to openchange from openchangeclient or outlook, i keep getting storage backend initialization failure (followed by samba crashing). [23:07] dcunit3d, you *could* test it, with the mainline repo [23:07] !mainline [23:07] The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [23:08] yigal: picked a .c file now, used to test on an extensionless filename [23:08] cool, thanks OerHeks [23:09] boxmein: what do you get when you issue, 'file --mime-type -b .c' ? [23:10] cappicard, you might want to reask in #ubuntu-server too [23:10] Hey Guys....So I'm getting a new computer in a few days [23:10] yigal: text/x-c [23:10] And I can't decide whether to put Ubuntu 14.04 on it or 16.04 on it [23:10] ok, thanks. [23:10] Is anybody running 16.04? Is it stable? [23:11] boxmein: ok so that's the file type you want to associate with sublime 3. [23:11] HamRadio: 16.04 ist still alpha. so if you cant fix stuff on your own keep the hands away from that until april [23:11] boxmein: text/x-c [23:11] yigal: where is the pairing stored+ [23:11] Thanks k1l [23:11] i had some wierd issues with 16.04, but i think it was bc of Mir and Nvidia. I tried to install the proprietary drivers [23:11] boxmein: per user it should be '~/.local/share/applications' [23:11] Guess I'll install 14.04 [23:12] dcunit3d: that is not right. ubuntu 16.04 doesnt use MIR [23:12] i'm having issues connecting to my router using the 5 GHz band [23:12] dcunit3d, I've had some issues running mir too. nvidia drivers doesn't run for me either. [23:12] how can i debug what's happening? [23:13] boxmein: excuse me '~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list' [23:13] GTX-750-2C here. [23:14] boxmein: do a locate defaults.list and you can see what the defaults are currently set as, so in /etc/gnome/defaults.list [23:15] "Proprietary video drivers do not yet offer the required level of support for Mir, so your experience if you're using the binary block nVidia or AMD drivers will be somewhat disappointing." [23:15] yigal: ohh, there's another system-wide defaults list [23:15] yigal: changed that too. :P [23:16] actually I might grep all the system ones for sublime, change them back to gedit and make sublime only locally [23:16] boxmein: yes, there's unfortunately these types of complications, let us know if things are working properly [23:16] yigal: defaults are reloaded on relogin? [23:16] is sublimetext in your %path% ? [23:16] boxmein: they should be immediate, afaik [23:18] yigal: let me try relogging anyway, then, because right now text/plain which i clearly reassigned still opens with gedit [23:18] k1l: it isn't? I thought Mir was one of the major changes to 16.04. nevermind then. [23:18] boxmein: ok, I wish I knew each version it seems to change [23:18] dcunit3d: no. its still xorg and unity7 as standard desktop [23:19] yigal: relogging changed it! [23:19] boxmein: awesome! [23:19] OerHeks: if i download a kernel build from the mainline, is there anyway to download the kernel config options for that build? [23:20] now let me do the trick [23:22] yigal: there we are, now copied all the sublime text changes over to local config [23:22] The results are released for how many GCi tasks each org has completed. [23:22] what's especially freaky is that there's only 9 sublime_text lines [23:22] !mainline | dcunit3d [23:22] dcunit3d: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [23:23] ahh ok, the kernel configs are in the mainline repo. for v4.4, there's a patch that states the config changes for ubuntu [23:23] boxmein: sweet man, glad I could help, and glad I'm now up to date regarding Ubuntu/GNOME mimetype changes, well at least a bit :) [23:24] yigal: thanks for your time! have a great uh, evening? [23:24] boxmein: you too dude :D [23:24] whats a good ssh/sftp program? [23:25] i have one names mima or something.. [23:25] SubCool: ssh/scp work pretty well [23:25] SubCool: filezilla supports sftp for file transfers and I love filezilla [23:25] just looking for a AIO program [23:25] SubCool: nautilus can use sftp [23:25] don't get it from sourceforge [23:25] SubCool: use the "connect to server" in nautilus [23:25] k1l: oh really [23:25] neat [23:26] hello all [23:27] guys [23:27] steam is available on linux now [23:28] does it mean that we can play windows games on linux?? [23:28] atralheaven: since some time already [23:28] atralheaven: only games that are tagged with linux. not all games [23:28] k1l: I knew but I don't really knew what it is for! [23:28] atralheaven: Already it had been released long time ago [23:29] there is special version of that games for linux? [23:30] here I can buy windows games, they are for installing on windows [23:30] atralheaven: yes, like the older counterstike and such. better see on steam directly what is linux ready [23:30] oh so it needs a different version... [23:30] thanks [23:30] just laoded filezilla, Anything ssh & sftp/scp. [23:31] SubCool: nautius [23:31] *nautilus [23:31] hello, Unity goes always in bad font state (crash) [23:32] maybe graphics driver Intel Iris 5200 [23:32] k1l, where's the ssh option in nautilus [23:33] SubCool: ssh://user@server:/folder [23:33] SubCool: that is sftp. since ssh got a sftp included already. use the "connect to server" option [23:33] i think im confused.. [23:33] im looking to ssh in and throw commands at it [23:34] LET IT GO! [23:34] LET IT GO! [23:34] DON'T HOLD IT BACK ANYMORE [23:34] LET IT GO! [23:34] LET IT GO! === Ekho is now known as color === color is now known as ekho [23:34] SubCool: then use a terminal and the command "ssh user@ip" === ekho is now known as Ekho [23:34] SubCool: and why isn't just using a term sufficient? [23:35] as was expressed by k1l [23:35] i use bitvise and kitty with windows, just makes things a lil easier when connecting and saving configs [23:35] less keystrokes [23:36] SubCool: less keystrokes for hosts or some other type of tab completion? [23:37] hosts, [23:37] multiple hosts, passwords, scripts, users [23:37] SubCool: usually that's done via /etc/hosts [23:38] SubCool: it can also be done via the ssh config. and bash completion [23:38] use key auth then [23:38] how can I find the remaining packages on an apt-get install? I ran it for a metapackage and it has been going on for a while now. [23:38] k- ill google them. thanks guys. [23:38] noahmg123: what is the current state of the upgrade? [23:39] yigal: upgrade? [23:39] noahmg123: err, upgrade? [23:39] noahmg123: err, install? [23:39] yigal: Ah. Unpacking packages [23:40] yigal: it what going alphabetically but now it went back to the p's [23:40] SubCool: I'd consider zsh as an interactive shell it's bar none the best [23:40] noahmg123: can you provide some of the output so we can see the likely issue on the server [23:41] noahmg123: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [23:41] yigal: what server? [23:41] noahmg123: the one you're attempting to install the packages on [23:41] Is there any way to force Ubuntu's Unity dash to refresh the applications list? [23:41] yigal: it's no server. There is no issue. I was jsut wondering if there is a way to see the packages that are yet to be unpacked. [23:42] After installing any new piece of software, it seems like I'm forced to either log out/in, or perform a "unity --replace", to restart the entire desktop environment, before new applications are added to the list [23:42] noahmg123: no, unfortunately APT locks out the database if a single session is using it [23:43] yigal: How does it usually install a meta-package? Randomly, or in a certain order chosen by the meta-package? [23:43] noahmg123: it will do a dependency tree check [23:43] m000gle: possibly update-menus, not sure [23:44] noahmg123: so, one package depends on the other, and another depends on .... === younes is now known as Guest81880 [23:44] yigal: hm... Yep. I guess I will just have to wait for it to finish. [23:45] noahmg123: yikes, unfortunately I'm not certain I can give you any better advice [23:45] yigal: As I said, there is no issue, it is just taking a while. [23:45] noahmg123: good :D [23:46] noahmg123: if the metapackage you are installing was ubuntu-desktop, you would run "apt-cache depends ubuntu-desktop" to see the dependencies [23:46] this can be done in parallel to the curren tinstallation [23:46] tomreyn: cool, will try on the meta-package. Will it list it in the list it should install? [23:46] tomreyn: that's not the question, the question is what order are the packages installed in, other than a dependency tree [23:47] noahmg123: sorry, i wouldn't know [23:47] tomreyn: that's ok. :) [23:47] tomreyn: yes, it's quite interesting [23:47] assuming `man` is using `less` as a pager - is there a way to pass a search argument to the `man` command? `man man` doesn't seem to imply it's a feature that's built in [23:47] tomreyn: I've just tried "update-menus" and "update-desktop-database", with no luck [23:48] kriskropd: /foo [23:48] Hello, how to make an autologin with xdm ? [23:48] kriskropd: whatis, apropos, you can grep man, too, if you use it right [23:48] kriskropd: or backwards search '?bar' [23:48] PhilippeVienne: only one user on the box? [23:48] artois: man -k [23:48] or forward /foo and then 'N' [23:48] m000gle: okay, i'm afraid i have no better suggestions. i don't use unity myself. [23:48] yigal: it's kriskropd [23:48] how to hack wirelles wpa2-psk :P [23:48] artois: Yes, but another user exist for sudo rights [23:49] artois: my apologies sir [23:49] tomreyn: The reason why I want to avoid either the log out/in or "unity --replace" is that the former will close anything that I'm working on, while the latter seems to be about 50/50 whether Unity actually comes back to life afterwards [23:49] artois yigal I think you are talking about within the less pager already loading - for instance 'less -ippattern file' [23:49] kriskropd: man -k == apropros [23:49] tomreyn: Cool. Thanks for your help [23:49] kriskropd: no, the last example certainly not [23:49] kriskropd: although that might not answer your question [23:50] it doesn't - apropos is something else, I think - just a short description of a manpage [23:50] yigal: just sayin' [23:50] kriskropd: no all man pages associated with the given word, e.g. 'apropos word' [23:50] kriskropd: you want to grep man? [23:51] kriskropd: if you want to grep just use, man | grep [23:51] wahyu: that is not in the focus of this channel [23:51] artois: well, when you use `less -ippattern file` - it loads the file in less automaticall and immediately reacts as if you had searched '/pattern' in the pager [23:51] im trying to do that with man [23:52] kriskropd: man foo | less -ippattern [23:52] pipes, use'm [23:52] ah, ok [23:52] yeah that works, ty [23:52] didn't think i could pipe man into less o.o [23:52] kriskropd: yes, do 'less | less' :) [23:53] == more, ok I'll stop [23:54] kriskropd: a clerner way to do this would be: PAGER=cat man bash | grep ^BUGS [23:56] or: PAGER='less -p^BUGS' man bash [23:57] or just man -P bash [23:57] oh that's just using cat, for the man, excuse me tomreyn [23:58] ;)
