[00:10] Hi [00:10] i have ubuntu 15:10 and would like to have silverlight [00:11] I installed pipeline and enabled silverlight5.1 but dont work [00:11] install google chrome for flash with drm support, like netflix and such [00:11] so enabled silverlight 5.0 and still dont work after restart FF [00:12] google chrome for flash? [00:12] I'm in the process of starting an unpriveleged gentoo container. It's not connecting the containers virtual interface to the client side vlan. I don't have an /etc/lxc/lxc.conf to see what ubuntu was using for defaults for this. Can someone paste their /etc/lxc/lxc.conf? [00:13] anyone had problems with a p400 raid controller and ubuntu 15-10 ? [00:14] teo_: https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-google-chrome.html#main_How_do_I_install_the_latest_version_of_Flash_Player_in_Google_Chrome_ [00:14] teo_, yes, that is the only solution that works for me [00:14] Hi [00:15] no need for installing flash in chrome.. it uses pepperflash [00:17] OerHeks: yes one can install Pepper Flash without Chrome but then it's making sure that the browser one is using, is using it === akira is now known as Guest64990 === mstfa is now known as mstfacmly [00:18] e.g. chromium === brayden_ is now known as Blaster [00:19] correct, though that peperflashplugininstaller downloads chrome to get the ppapi, funny solution for chrome. [00:19] so what should do? [00:19] i want use FF [00:19] i moved away from firefox, just for these flash issues. [00:20] reboot time .. lets see if that damn raidcontroller likes me this time .. >.> [00:20] you can use "pepper" flash with Firefox if you want [00:20] Flash issues are Flash issues [00:21] how I can install? apritude install peperflash? [00:21] I must enable it in any way? [00:22] teo_: yes, for Firefox you can use the Pipelight project, or through this project https://github.com/i-rinat/freshplayerplugin [00:22] yigal, what is better? [00:23] teo_: Pipelight uses an emulation, Wine, to use the latest Adobe Flash Plugin for Windows and well Fresh player uses Pepper [00:23] teo_: I just use Chrome tbh [00:23] yigal, what is better for FF? peper or pipeline? pipeline dont work on HBO Go [00:23] yigal, chromium have paper? [00:24] teo_: yes, Pipeline works for HBO but you have to mask the browser, this is very offtopic for #ubuntu however [00:25] anyone know how to view the keybindings for the default WM in 14.04 [00:25] yigal, mask browser? how? [00:25] altoidnerd: http://askubuntu.com/questions/575631/how-do-i-find-all-key-bindings-in-ubuntu-14-04 [00:26] yigal: thanks [00:26] altoidnerd: np [00:26] altoidnerd, systemsettings > keys, and hold for a short list [00:27] do drives automatically unmount on reboot? [00:27] in 14.04 server lts [00:27] yes catalase [00:27] OerHeks: Im using a weird keyboard, how can I find out what my keys are (which is super, etc) [00:27] thanks tomreyn [00:28] catalase: no, not unless they've been added to /etc/fstab or are part of automount [00:28] catalase: why, what are you attempting to set up? [00:28] yigal, the drive is added to /etc/fstab/ and has automount flag enabled [00:28] just wondering if my ext4 ext hdd is being auto-unmounted on sudo reboot [00:29] catalase: then yes, if things are set up properly it should [00:29] catalase: what happens if you issue 'sudo mount -a' after boot, if the drive doesn't mount automatically? [00:30] OerHeks: because my keyboard is a 'mac keys' version, not sure what Alt key is [00:30] no idea, every time i reboot it automatically mounts yigal [00:30] catalase: so it does what it should, so what's the issue :)? [00:30] altoidnerd, i see, mac has no super or 'windows' key. [00:30] right, but the question is whether or not it automatically unmounts when reboot is issued via cli [00:31] since it is not good for the ext4 filesystem to not unmount before shutdown or reboot [00:31] OerHeks: for me right now, 'command' is mapped to super, 'option' to alt [00:31] If you have an Apple keyboard, there will not be a Windows key on your keyboard. The ⌘ (Command) key can be used instead. [00:31] catalase: it will unmount on a normal reboot [00:31] great, thanks for confirmation yigal [00:31] catalase: you will want to look through the logs to verify this [00:32] catalase: cool [00:32] any idea which log to look through? [00:32] OerHeks: just asking about the general case of using a strange keyboard, how to determine what keys are recogized as , , , etc [00:32] catalase: what version of ubuntu are you using? [00:32] 14.04 lts server [00:32] catalase: I'm not certain but I suspect dmesg should have that info. [00:33] altoidnerd, the rest of the functions i don't know :-( there are mactel pages [00:34] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppleKeyboard [00:34] hey is there a specific channel for ubuntu phone? [00:35] /msg alis list *ubunt*phone* [00:35] as long as they keycode leaves the kb .. it will be recognized .. [00:35] /msg alis list *ubunt*touch* [00:35] !touch [00:35] Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch . Support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [00:35] thing is with internal keys aka meta / super / fn .. which are interpreted internaly in the kb [00:35] altoidnerd: 'xev' will tell you what a key registers by default [00:35] + also depends on the kb firmware [00:35] altoidnerd: any key that registers at all can be mapped to another [00:36] and there are one or two utils other than xev, if xev doesn't work [00:36] @altoidnerd what kb are you using ? [00:36] some custom mecha ? [00:37] pkircher: it is a das keyboard [00:37] ah its a straight pass throw no tmk stuff [00:37] altoidnerd: das I like it, I have one of those [00:37] easy thenm [00:37] -m [00:37] yigal: its awesome [00:37] i dont know why all the hate on unity. I am really enjoying it right now on multiple displays [00:38] thanks for the help this resolved everything [00:38] displays >.> tmux! [00:39] hah! solved my problem with the raid controller .. > boots just fine now .. [00:39] altoidnerd: because it replaced GNOME 2 and isn't much like it [00:39] mostly people didn't like the change from GNOME 2 to GNOME 3 [00:40] pkircher: :) When you are good, you are good ! [00:41] artois: I can understand that, but I think Unity is objectively the best option for the most use cases... if you park your pride and try to learn it [00:42] Question: + switches applications. If you have more than one display, this happens on the display where the cursor is. How can I do it for all displays? Note i mean physics monitor, not "workspace" [00:42] physical * display [00:42] altoidnerd: unity is fine, it's just the drastic change people didn't like [00:43] it also didn't help that they didn't realize the bulk of drastic change was in GNOME [00:43] ya UI changes are hard on users [00:43] .. breaks habbits [00:43] so you got strange things like people moving from Ubuntu with Unity (GNOME 3) to Linux Mint (Ubuntu) with Cinnamon (GNOME 3 reconfigured in a way that can also be done on Ubuntu) [00:44] im still a kde fan for what its worth .. if i have to have a ui [00:44] yeah... KDE does drastic changes, too [00:44] perhaps not as awfully as GNOME manages, however [00:44] Hey, has anyone here got any experience with setting up RAID after an install? [00:44] raidr: what do you want raid for? [00:45] raidr: softraid ? [00:45] or via controller ? [00:45] I want to set up RAID1/softraid [00:45] you gotta do that before [00:45] pkircher: i have used lots of good options. I try not to decide i hate something and have a bad attitude ... instead just use it and get on with life, knowing how to help oneself is key [00:46] pkircher: do you know how to make keybindings like + not care which display my cursor is on? [00:46] I have managed to partially set up RAID1 so far but I am having some issues [00:46] altoidnerd: server moron here .. [00:46] all i have is bash / sh most of the time [00:47] well that's what's great about free software [00:47] pkircher: i hear you, same here, thats why i dont know how to use this GUI [00:47] you don't have to stop using any free software, ever [00:47] I'm having trouble with LXC bridges. would someone be willing to walk me through getting a bridge set up [00:47] you can potentially never have to relearn something new [00:47] it's very efficient [00:47] artois: conversely though [00:48] artois: I never "learn" anything so much that its a habit I can't break easily.., makes life easier if you use multiple machines [00:49] Anyone use RAID with LUKS? [00:49] mdadm [00:49] :) [00:50] My issue is that the second drive will not boot up on its own [00:50] I have set up the array but I am not too sure that it has mirrored properly [00:51] you start from /dev/md0 [00:51] so you gotta change grub .. [00:51] or what ever bootloader you are using [00:51] I changed that in grub, boot up, none of my files are available [00:52] ext4 ? [00:52] altoidnerd: self reliance, or reliance on only the fundamentals, yes [00:52] root is ext4 [00:54] artois: yup. between social outlets like here, or reddit, stackoverflow etc, and docs, you can usually find answers quickly if you know what youre asking [00:55] artois: this should be the first thing new users of ubuntu are told [00:55] oh yeah, be nice if children were educated properly :p [00:56] Is there something I need to do with the LUKS partitions? Do they need their own array? [00:58] artois: I cant wait to have kids, but to give them their first computer with a base ubutu-server install and set them going [00:58] altoidnerd: should make them build the computer and the OS [00:58] just give them a rasperry pi / beagle bone black .. [00:58] anyone played with hikey already ? [00:59] artois: lol, this can go all day. ubuntu-server is a realistic starting point but of course I could always make it crazier [00:59] FPGA > have them design there own cpu :) [00:59] artois: an image of arch linux, and a print out of the wiki [01:00] no print needet .. all they need is learn how to read man pages [01:00] .. its all in there [01:00] pkircher: I disagree actually. man pages help only when you already know *something* [01:01] computer is just a magic box if you can't make your own =) [01:01] pkircher: man pages are best when you already have experience with a program [01:02] pkircher: to introduce a how command line tool works to somehow who has nebver used it - take for example "grep" - only examples help. man pages just dont do a lot to tell someone what a fucntion basically does from a base level [01:02] pkircher: a blog format works well [01:03] probably .. i dont know my wee one is 5 .. [01:03] so soon :> 2-3 years more [01:03] pkircher: How are you going to handle internet access? I dont have kids but I think about that [01:04] i had internet access back then .. even if it was just 9k6 .. and extremly expensive [01:04] but .. no point limiting it .. we are in the information age after all [01:04] pkircher: true. but is there nothing to worry about in this way - young childen can see images, etc that are not age appropriate [01:05] hey, im trying to share an internet connection. but im having problems [01:05] ofc but they can see that in school as well [01:05] .. or on a phone [01:05] pkircher: yeah. totally different now from when i was a kid [01:05] you cant fence everythin off .. unless you are a tinfoil guy [01:05] minitrue: what is your question [01:06] altoidnerd: i dont know how to enable forwarding in systemd [01:06] pkircher: how about setting up a network at home and letting them use that first before they can go to www [01:06] and ya .. its entierly different .. today 6-7 years old have a mobile .. [01:06] and if they dont .. [01:06] i was 14ish where i had a FAT alcatel brick [01:07] ya .. i got the homenetwork anyway [01:07] hello :) [01:07] altoidnerd: i have a laptop wich is connected using wlan0 to internet, Im trying to forward the traffic to eth0 [01:07] .. lab here .. > 3 m1000e and a few brocade switches [01:07] so i can send it to a router [01:07] but that “new” hp server gives me a hard time [01:08] and im using this guide as a reference https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Internet_sharing [01:08] what DE do people here use? I'm currently running MATE but I'm interested in a more modern DE, I'm deciding between Unity and Gnome3 [01:08] minitrue: I have done it one second [01:08] minitrue: http://askubuntu.com/questions/359856/share-wireless-internet-connection-through-ethernet [01:08] virtuosoj, I prefer Cinnamon or XFCE [01:08] altoidnerd: thanks :) [01:09] The_Letter_M, thank you but I don't consider those to be modern. maybe Cinnamon a little moreso [01:09] minitrue: the arch wiki is always a little terse, if you're a non expert [01:09] I've been starting to notice some buggy elements of MATE. Mostly the panel and indicator icons [01:10] arch wiki is superb .. special with systemd stuff [01:10] virtuosoj, at work my computer is really locked down but I'm allowed to have Vbox installed. I have a lot of tools in a Xubuntu VM buecause XFCE works great in a VM. At home I used Cinnamon on my personal computers [01:10] pkircher: the home network is a cool idea. lets you hack around and also saves the children from being deflowered [01:10] pkircher: the conundrum arises because you want the child to learn the computer as early as possible [01:10] Cinnamon on Ubuntu or on Mint? [01:10] XFCE is very modern. Cinnamon is one of the most new of DEs [01:10] Ubuntu [01:10] well yup .. [01:10] Yes but featurewise, I consider the modern ones to be Gnome3, KDE, and Unity [01:11] Cinnamon is a little more retro [01:11] but .. lets move that to pm .. no conversation for a support channel [01:11] :P [01:11] GNome and KDE are ancient. You should define what you mean by "Modern" [01:11] Cinnamon is a great blend of classic but with modern features [01:11] retro is good ! .. i love retro .. [01:11] even my keyboard is retro themed .. [01:12] No dice on any input for RAID1/LUKS/LVM? [01:12] As in, 3D effects, new and fresh takes on window/workspace management [01:12] features like dash or unified menu bar in Unity, or the overview in Gnome [01:13] I don't really like KDE5 so far [01:13] https://www.dropbox.com/s/ghqh3nxpqfssgm5/2015-11-26%2021.57.37.jpg?dl=0 [01:13] more retro love ! [01:13] In XFCE you can set the panel to "Deskbar" and have it act like how the Unity bar does [01:13] hello my pretties [01:14] :>) [01:14] :O that's really cool, thanks LetterM === security is now known as Guest68558 [01:15] I have a question for anyone who uses Unity: A feature that I really like in MATE and Gnome3 is the ability to have a weather applet located in your top panel [01:15] How do I get this in Unity? [01:15] altoidnerd: hey, its working thanks, i really like the arch wiki but yes, sometimes can get a little harsh. [01:15] I like looking at my comp and without clicking anything, I can see the temperature outside [01:15] Maybe I just like it because back int he day I used Fluxbox a lot and XFCE reminds me of a modern take on those super minimalistic DEs and WMs [01:17] XFCE has weather in panel right? [01:20] The_Letter_M, weather in XFCE? === gambl0re is now known as TheHackOps [01:21] ok [01:22] virtuosoj: there's a plugin, yes [01:23] I'm most likely not going to choose XFCE, I want more modern and featureful [01:24] after hopping around and trying different things, I really liked Unity's functionality. [01:24] the Unity Tweak Tool is really dope too, so much customization [01:24] virtuosoj, it sounds like you already have your mind made up [01:25] haha maybe... I don't know if the distro hopping will stop [01:25] It happens [01:25] I thought I was stuck on Ubuntu MATE but I have been noticing its flaws more [01:25] I do it sometimes too [01:25] virtuosoj: it's 'Xfce' [01:26] Xfce is nice, reliable [01:26] The_Letter_M, what distro are you currently running? [01:26] I'll go through periods where I jump between Ubuntu, Fedora, and OpenSuse [01:26] artois, you as well? [01:26] it can do basically all the things KDE & GNOME do, but hasn't completely rewritten their codebase the way they have [01:26] the way KDE/GNOME have [01:26] Right now I use Ubuntu at home [01:26] With Cinnamon installed [01:27] I had a nice setup of opensuse tumbleweed with Gnome3, but I don't like YasT and Zypper as much as Software Center and Apt-get [01:29] virtuosoj: what's wrong with yast [01:29] virtuosoj: I always install synaptic [01:29] Not as comfy to install/uninstall programs as Software Center [01:29] I like synaptic better than yast but I prefer software center or terminal install [01:29] Are there any known fixes for NetworkManager not updating /etc/resolv.conf when using OpenVPN? [01:29] Gnome 3 is horrible [01:29] even worse than Unit [01:29] Unity [01:29] imh [01:29] I like Gnome Shell. I used it for a couple years. I still sometimes move my mouse to the top-left expecting my apps to show up [01:31] Yes I also really like Gnome Shell [01:31] the app overview is sweet, the only 2 DE's that do it this well are Gnome3 and Elementary's Pantheon [01:32] The GNOME paradigm certainly takes some getting used to, but once you get used to it, it's pretty good. [01:32] but I am not so keen on the vertically aligned workspaces, and I wish the panel was customizable. I can't move anything around [01:32] ghostinzshell, yes it is [01:33] I don't have a left windows key(Steelseries mech keyboard). But binding Ctrl + Space to app overview in Gnome 3 was really nice [01:33] If you have anything touchscreen, GNOME is the only one that provides an experience comparable to Windows. [01:33] I tghink vertically aligned is more inuitive, especially when you consider our screens are wide so Horizontal real estate is more available than Vertical real estate [01:33] virtuosoj: synaptic is the best other than terminal to install programs [01:34] I really want a linux tablet, but it doesn't seem functional right now so I'm using Samsung android [01:34] technically still linux but its not the same [01:34] virtuosoj: it's linux [01:34] not gnu/linux though [01:36] You are talking about two different animals. Linux is a kernel. Gnu is a shell that can even run on windows [01:36] virtuosoj, why don't you get a convertable Windows laptop and install Gnome Ubuntu on it and tell us how you like it? [01:36] The_Letter_M, tried that with my dad's Surface 3, it worked but always crashed pretty quickly [01:37] well to be fair, I was booting from USB but I don't feel that should make a difference === guest is now known as tempus [01:37] Any help with RAID? [01:38] has someone got probblems with packets from their ubuntu begin tagged as "Gobbles ssh" exploit by the IDS? === tempus is now known as coltempus [01:38] virtuosoj: Might require some tweaks. (https://youtu.be/oXuYg5P4EHo) [01:38] virtuosoj: Wendell from TekSyndicate had to recompile the kernel [01:39] I'm not knowledgable enough to do those tweaks [01:39] the Galaxy S2 runs really well for now I'm pretty happy with it. but when the linux tablet becomes a better option I will use that [01:39] linux for desktop is already way better than anything else though, IMO for my purposes [01:40] Yea, it's a little too much effort just to get a Surface running Ubuntu. [01:40] virtuosoj: for anyone's [01:40] ghostinzshell: how so? [01:40] BRB all, I'm going to try out Antergos for kicks hahaha XD [01:41] artois: Having to compile a kernel I guess. I'm used to installing Ubuntu on my laptop and start working without minor changes (e.g changing the shell from bash to zsh) [01:41] with* [01:41] Compiling a kernel is simple enough too, I just don't want to wait around for it to compile. [01:43] where can I find REALLY nice Fluxbox themes? [01:43] Just when ubuntu becomes easy to install on Computers. SYSTEM ON CHIPS computers throw a monkey wrench on ubuntu. Making it almost impossible to install on most SOC [01:47] ghostinzshell: mmm, if you weren't using all Ubuntu's generic builtins, it'd only take a bit [01:47] ghostinzshell: or you could just use modules [01:47] svennebanan: ~/mycustomthemes/ [01:48] artois, what? [01:49] Hey there! New user here, loving it so far :) [01:49] Remind: gj [01:49] artois: :) thanks [01:50] The Encryption option that was available, is that using LUKS? === bob is now known as Guest65931 [01:50] Remind: yes [01:51] k1l: Thanks! Just out of curiosity (I did select it - as well as encrypting the empty data and home folder), what all does it protect against? Someone hooking up a live boot USB and viewing my files, or removing my hard drive and using as an external on their computer and viewing my files? [01:52] there's one using luks and the home-only one is using ecryptfs, probs [01:53] Remind: for a laptop? [01:53] thanks === Guest68558 is now known as scr [01:53] artois: Yeah, this is on my laptop. I selected the guided using encryption, then when I went to create the user I also checked to encrypt my home folder [01:53] artois: And thanks btw! [01:53] mostly it protects you from the rare thief that might take a moment to see if you have bank authentication data on your drive [01:54] ...before reselling your laptop [01:54] but it could also protect you from a theoretical legal attack [01:54] Remind: it protects against powerd down hdd "loss". [01:54] it will not protect you from an expert who wants your data [01:55] With this encryption, if I was to use Kali and found a vulnerable exploit, could I still explore files without the encryption pass? [01:55] but in these days of processors with built in instructions for handling encrypting and decryption, there's not much reason to not encrypt [01:55] if you found a vulnerability that let you do that, yes of course [01:55] if there is a exploit its exploitable due to that exploit. we cant guess what that is now [01:55] but you won't [01:55] it's quite simple to trick a human into giving away their authentication, however [01:56] Remind: in ten years the best encryption will like a cracker jack lock [01:56] and even simpler to gain physical access [01:56] <_bodhi> how do i install 16.04 [01:56] !16.04 | _bodhi [01:56] _bodhi: Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) will be the 24th release of Ubuntu. Announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1479 - Discussion in #ubuntu+1 [01:56] <_bodhi> anyone know? [01:56] Remind: as long as your system is running that is quite no protection from LUKS [01:57] _bodhi: see the bots message. 16.04 will be released in april so its still in development [01:57] <_bodhi> i want the development version [01:57] see #Ubuntu+1 [01:57] <_bodhi> so this is for the risk averse side, i get it [01:57] if you cant even read a bots message then i doubt you will want to use a development release [01:58] <_bodhi> If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing tok pay the ultimate price. It's not tragic to crash your system doing what you love. [01:58] ma [01:58] man [01:58] help me [01:58] <_bodhi> this isn't for momma's boys [01:58] <_bodhi> i'll try the other channel [01:58] where can I find Fluxbox, really nice Fluxbox themes [01:58] heh [01:58] svennebanan: the fluxbox website? #fluxbox? [01:58] you might also like openbox or blackbox [01:58] artois, they suck [01:59] svennebanan: see a fluxbox theme page. we cant help you because we have another taste than you, most probably [01:59] svennebanan: well, fluxbox isn't very popular [01:59] it also isn't very much... visually [01:59] it's just a window manager, after all [01:59] artois, Hmmm, ok. So it is hard to make it look good? [01:59] no [01:59] but it's more than zero work [02:00] artois, Have you seen a good-looking Fluxbox screenshot? [02:00] https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&sout=1&safe=off&q=%22fluxbox%22%20%22eye%20candy%22 [02:00] probably, but I don't keep track [02:00] I use my DE for getting things done [02:00] I don't use it as wall art [02:02] artois, ok, holy sh*t: http://orig03.deviantart.net/48fb/f/2015/324/1/4/no_man_s_sky_fluxbox_by_xexpanderx-d9h55wt.png [02:02] artois, How do I make it look like that? [02:03] svennebanan: it says, at http://xexpanderx.deviantart.com/art/No-Man-s-Sky-Fluxbox-572989997 [02:03] svennebanan: usually they name and link their used themes and iconpacks on the site [02:04] sh*t, Fluxbox can look goot... [02:04] good [02:04] most things _can_ [02:04] fluxbox is awesome looks good and performs well with low mem usage [02:06] that no mans sky theme is pretty [02:06] sadly that game isnt out yet [02:06] You should try Fluxbox combined with Razor DE [02:07] i wonder how that looks with 16 cores .. [02:07] That guy seems to do some nice Fluxbox themes... [02:07] http://puu.sh/mHdYj/1193eb93eb.png [02:08] artois, thank you. I think Fluxbox is really awesome [02:08] gonna check more about that guy, "xexpanderx" or whatever he calls himself [02:10] pkircher, so "No Mans Sky" is a game... [02:10] yep [02:10] looks really cool [02:47] hi [02:48] bye [02:49] hey === doodle is now known as Guest37668 [02:49] hi [02:50] how r u [02:50] tired :) [02:50] me too :( [02:51] sooo.... [02:51] anybody here? [02:51] just ask the support question [02:52] oh cool [02:54] hola [02:55] bye [02:59] how do I make a tablet attached by USB get recognized by the files explorer program? [02:59] Hello all [02:59] anyone tried installing ubuntu 14.04 on UCS C servers [02:59] hi [03:00] when I install ubuntu it is completed installation succesfully and after reboot it goes to EFI shell. not sure whats wrong [03:00] hi homa [03:00] natalie_: here's the full guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2226702 [03:01] is this channel active [03:01] Can I get some help here [03:01] anand_ts: hey [03:01] EriC^^: hey [03:01] anand_ts: try pressing esc when it boots and see if you can get a boot options menu [03:02] anand_ts: also did you install it in uefi mode or legacy? [03:02] EriC^^: It is not at all booting from harddisk after reboot [03:02] anand_ts: yeah i mean the boot options before the uefi shell [03:02] EriC^^: I changed the boot options in bios to kvm-mapped-DVD. [03:02] hi [03:02] anand_ts: ok, can you boot a live session? [03:03] EriC^^: I am sorry, how to boot a live session [03:03] apt-get dist-upgrade does what? [03:03] !dist-upgrade | natalie_ [03:03] natalie_: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [03:03] anand_ts: do you have a live iso? something that can get you a shell? [03:04] oh, ok, thanks [03:04] np [03:04] EriC^^: I am hitting the exact issue http://askubuntu.com/questions/721539/cisco-ucs-and-ubuntu [03:04] EriC^^: Oh I dont have a live iso. [03:04] anand_ts: ok, and the server iso doesn't give a live iso right? [03:05] hello :) i'm trying to play with bluesnarfer, but i can't get it to build. does anyone else have problems with https://github.com/boos/bluesnarfer? I `sudo apt-get install libbluetooth-dev -y; git clone https://github.com/boos/bluesnarfer; cd bluesnarfer; make`, but I get a bunch of undefined references. [03:05] anand_ts: try to get a boot options menu and if you can select the efi file to boot or boot an entry you want [03:06] EriC^^: okay. I will try that. [03:08] I have just installed a fresh 15.10, using a GTX980 with nvidia driver version 352.63. I have not installed Cuda (nvidia-cuda-toolkit) however when I use Blender (3D software) if gives me the option of Cuda GPU Rendering. Any idea why? I mean, I am thankful it just works, but any idea why? [03:08] i cant enable my bluetooth [03:09] ttal: do you know that Cuda is? [03:10] snakeryslug: No, not exactly. Does it enable faster processing by the GPU somehow? [03:11] ttal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA [03:13] how do you verfiy what version of intel graphics stack is installed? [03:13] snakeryslug: ok wow. I wish I had done a bit more reading 48 hours ago.. [03:15] snakeryslug: I thought I needed it to enable GPU rendering in Blender.. ffs. I have installed and reinstalled 14.04, 14.10, 15.10 trying to get cuda to work and for the gpu rendering settings to work in blender. [03:16] snakeryslug: long long long story short, if anyone else faces this issue, it appears Blender 2.74 just didnt support the new GTX980 yet. I installed Blender 2.76b and it works right away. [03:17] snakeryslug: thank you. [03:21] hey guys, I just typed something like kill X on the terminal and screwd my shortcuts, task bar and top menu...... any help to restore it, plz? tks a lot [03:21] ... [03:23] yeah.. .kind of stupid, huh? :P [03:23] anand_ts: any luck? [03:24] how do you verify what version of intel graphics stack is installed? [03:29] can anyone give me an example of how they keep their system maintained with regards to update, dist-upgrade, and autoremove? Are these things that are done every day? [03:30] #theitalianjob [03:31] For whatever reason, Timidity does not want to use any soundfonts that aren't freepats or fluidr3 [03:31] I have Scc1t2.sf2 in /usr/share/sounds/sf2/ [03:32] timidity.cfg has source /etc/timidity/scc1t2.cfg [03:32] and scc1t2.cfg has dir /usr/share/sounds/sf2 [03:32] ttal: 'sudo apt update ; sudo apt-get upgrade ; df -h ' depending on what the package manager advises from <- , then I may run ' sudo apt-get autoremove ' . The 'df -h ' is to watch disk usage. I run real tight and I have too watch ! [03:33] wait [03:34] the soundfont loads if I use the timidity command directly [03:34] but if I load a game using SDL (in this case PrBoom+) no music comes out [03:35] Bashing-om: thanks for that. When do you do a dist-upgrade? [03:37] yet it works if fluidr3 is used...why? [03:37] ttal: Package manager will advise " held packages" and relate which ones . I generally try and determine what these "held" packages are ( phased release updates ??) ... and then I might do the ' sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ' . [03:38] !dist-upgrade | ttal [03:38] ttal: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [03:43] Evening all... any ideas why update manager (on 10.04) would freeze after I hit the "close" button on the "Your ubuntu release is not suported anymore" dialog box? [03:43] !eol | sexyshowercurtai [03:43] sexyshowercurtai: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [03:44] Bashing-om: any reason why you use apt update and not apt-get update? [03:44] sexyshowercurtai: fresh install a version from our topic mate [03:48] lotuspsychje, have tried but I'm running into roadblocks. do-release-upgrade aborts, update manager freezes, and booting version 14 leads to serious graphics issues...apologies for noobiness [03:48] ttal: apt is the updated apt-get and does have some added new features . Less ytyomg too amd apt is faster . [03:48] typing ** [03:51] sexyshowercurtai: its not recommended to upgrade from an eol version..would you trust yours after all the security exploits out? [03:54] sexyshowercurtai: i advise you to backup everything dear to you, and start over fresh [03:54] lotuspsychje, I do not. It has been very problematic upgrading to a newer release, due to graphics issues that arise. [03:54] Bashing-om: awesome, thanks for the tips. will definitely be more aware of the possible destructiveness of dist-upgrade [03:55] lotuspsychje, Fortunately, I have nothing to back up. Was hoping that I could progressively use the do-release-upgrade to get all the way up to current [03:55] ... [03:55] lotuspsychje, Will attempt once more. Thank you for the patience :) [03:56] !usn | sexyshowercurtai [03:56] sexyshowercurtai: Please see http://www.ubuntu.com/usn for information about Ubuntu security updates. [03:56] sexyshowercurtai: many chances you will break your system like this [03:56] ttal: " possible destructiveness " is a remote possibility . and bear in mind the package manager will always tell you what it is doing, and there is a history of what took place . [03:56] Bashing-om: "The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required" <-- so I hould listen to this and then do an autoremove? [03:57] nevermind... [03:57] Bashing-om: where do you find the history? [03:58] Hello. Can someone give me support here? I just rebooted and nearly all my settings are gone/not accessible. [03:59] ttal: Look at the list .. does it make sense what it is telling you ? .. then YES by all means - clean the system up . ( it is rare that in a system with a consistent package manager that the package manager will make a mistake ) . [04:00] My monitor settings coul not be loaded. I deleted ~/.config/monitors.xml that fixed that. My terminal profile prefrences were not loaded. Visual things like cmy theme are not loaded. [04:00] ttal: ' ls -al /var/log/apt ' . [04:01] And the system needs pretty long when booting before the ubuntu splashscreen shows up [04:01] Bashing-om: thanks for all the tips and advice, really helpful and really appreciate it. [04:02] I'd be really thankful for help. If you need further information just ask. [04:03] ttal: What we do here .. hang with us and you too will make contributions . [04:07] Bashing-om: I will be hanging. I have used linux / ubuntu on and off for over 10 years. Finally made the switch on my main system, with a new GTX980. The only reason I had windows was for games but Steam has fixed all that, and i only play nerdy games like KSP, Minecraft, Cities, and XPlane so I'm all set now. Most applications I use are web based. Just need to learn the ins and outs of safe, predictable, regular maintenance and troubleshooting. [04:10] the problem stays after i restored a backup from 5 days ago [04:13] stoneman1: restoring a backup overwrites your old settings right [04:14] yes but i think the settings are not the problem. they are there. they are just not loaded i think... [04:15] ttal: Then you are will over the hump . It is now just common sense and GOOF backups ! .. you are ready to break your system to your heart's content . ( I learned very quickly the value of a 'buntu dual boot ) It has been ages now since I broke my system to a point of frustration to RE-install . [04:15] stoneman1: you can check your /home with hidden folders and browsing in configs to make sure? [04:15] for example i get this message on bootup: Could not apply the stored configurations for monitors [04:15] but ~./config/monitors.xml is there [04:16] when i delete it the monitors adjust [04:16] Bashing-om: whats a buntu dual boot? And for what purpose? Just a backup os ready to go? [04:18] * LambdaComplex has 3 linux distros installed [04:18] * LambdaComplex is prepared for anything [04:18] no, wait, i still have Arch installed twice [04:18] * LambdaComplex has 4 linux distros installed [04:19] also my context menu and buttons look like from win2k and i cannot change the theme (not my biggest problem but surely the same root). [04:19] ttal: Yes, dual boot .. you have the "work" system and on a seperate hard drive a backup ( what is 50 gigs now-a-days ) - a shared data partition is very handy . See mine : http://paste.ubuntu.com/14627513/ . [04:20] LambdaComplex: please no broadcasting here [04:20] lotuspsychje: pardon? [04:20] LambdaComplex: we have a discuss channel for that [04:21] lotuspsychje: it was relevant to what Bashing-om said [04:21] lotuspsychje: now hush, because you're just causing even more off-topic discussion [04:21] LambdaComplex: relevant is trying to help, not /me ... [04:22] lotuspsychje is there a log of the boot up which i can look into. because as i said it takes longer than usual [04:22] so what, there's some rule that /me isn't allowed here? i don't recall ever seeing that in the rules [04:22] i'm gonna stop replying now [04:22] stoneman1: wich ubuntu version do you have? [04:23] Bashing-om: If that's how you're doing it, perhaps sharing a home partition would be useful? [04:23] Bashing-om: Although you'd still want a backup of it [04:24] lotuspsychje: 14.04 LTS. in /var/log/boot.log nothing interisting is logged [04:24] stoneman1: try lightdm log [04:26] lotuspsychje /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log has no errors either [04:26] LambdaComplex: No, never share /home .. configs can and are different .. can cause the system to have head aches ! .. copy files to share to a 'data' partition . [04:27] stoneman1: how about pressing F1 during boot to see errors/bottleneck? [04:27] ok ill try. [04:27] stoneman1: what release ? as systemd keeps good boot logs . [04:27] 14.04 [04:27] so upstart [04:28] Bashing-om: wow, nice setup. I just have this kind of 'dumb' main desktop, and a nas pc in another room for large video, software, lectures etc, and photos and documents are in the cloud. [04:28] nicomachus: :) .. and the hunt begins . [04:28] Bashing-om: If all your distros are the same, why would the configs be different? [04:30] LambdaComplex: All of mine are different .. I see no value in risking sharing a /home . [04:33] mmmh the problem solved when i removed my usb-to-ethernet adapter. i know that booting with usb peripherals is not recommended but i was so sure that i did this already a thousand time that i didn't try without [04:34] !yay | stoneman1 [04:34] stoneman1: Glad you made it! :-) [04:34] now i did and it booted just fine. i will try again with and without if the problem occurs again. but i hope not. thanks alot [04:35] Bashing-om: Oh, in that case, then you're right [04:36] bye. when im more fluent with ubuntu i might comeback sometime. maybe i can help others by then. ;) [04:37] if i downloaded the Blender binary, and the sublime text 2 binary, where should I put it? /usr/lib/? [04:42] ttal: Be aware .. It has taken me @ 40 some odd years to know how to set up my box for a particular use case . [04:44] / opt? [04:45] usr/local/bin ? [04:45] opt/bin [04:45] you just gotta find it [04:46] pkircher: use the whereis command perhaps? [04:47] he asked where he should put it .. not where it is [04:47] :) [04:48] small but suttle difference === mstfa is now known as mstfacmly [04:48] pkircher: try !who to make things less confusing, when other volunteers dont follow or just joined === mstfa is now known as mstfacmly [04:49] “ttal: if i downloaded the Blender binary, and the sublime text 2 binary, where should I put it? /usr/lib/?” [04:49] its just 2 lines above .. o [04:49] so its rather obvious who i ment [04:49] just saying [04:49] How do I best write a program that "hijacks" keyboard input and "simulates" other keypresses? (I have some fancy mappings I want to make..) [04:50] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Custom%20keyboard%20layout%20definitions?action=show&redirect=Howto%3A+Custom+keyboard+layout+definitions @c3l [04:50] Is there any shortcut to access minimized apps in indicator area [04:50] top right [04:50] like hexchat etc. [04:51] Omnipotent: classicmenu indicator [04:52] What is that? an application? [04:52] Omnipotent: an indicator with menu items [04:52] pkircher: thanks got it. [04:52] Installing [04:53] lotuspsychje, Ok, that is not what I want. [04:53] Omnipotent: logout/login to make it active [04:53] Yeah it created the "start button" kind of thing in indicator area where you could select the icons. [04:53] hey guys, I have a really weird problem, I am dual booting elementary OS freya on my mom's 5 year old imac, at first it booted into the tty, so I had to do radeon.modeset=0 making it use intel graphics. Do any of you know how I can use the amd graphics card? lspci -nn | grep VGA returns this: http://pastebin.com/WwGK9JdP [04:53] I don't want that, I just want to select minimized to indicator area style apps [04:53] ah [04:53] Like hexchat if you know. [04:54] Omnipotent: i guess that relies on the app itself, using indicator area or not [04:54] ... The app is IN indicator area [04:54] I just want to select it. [04:54] Focus you know. [04:54] without mouse. [04:54] With mouse I can do. [04:55] Guy1524: Elementary support is in #elementary [04:55] yes but isn't elementary os based off ubuntu [04:55] it's a derivative, not a flavor. So many things are different. [04:56] ok [04:56] Wow elementary is paid. [04:56] Omnipotent: can this help? http://askubuntu.com/questions/13137/is-there-a-keyboard-shortcut-to-open-the-indicator-applet [04:57] pkircher, no.. what I need is more control than this. I want to use spacebar as a modifier key, but only if pressed alone, and when spacebar is released (with no other key having been pressed) a space should be inserted [04:57] get a mechanical keyboard and do it in TMK ?! [04:57] lotuspsychje, Yeah works, but pretty darn crucade way to do it, 1) You need to click two buttons that are way too faar on keyboard and 2) you need hit right arrow key multiple times to reach those apps [04:57] i much rather have that logic inside the keyboard .. ! [04:57] Support question! Is there a standard way to tell something not to run without muching with its /etc/init/foo.conf ? [04:57] shouldn't there be a straightforward way to access them, considering they are indicator/system tray icon [04:57] (on 14.04) [04:58] s/muching/mucking with/ [04:58] c3l that wont work inside linux mappings .. [04:58] you need the keyboard firmware todo that :) [04:58] pkircher, why_ [04:59] nicomachus: the elementary irc is empty, can I please ask the question here? [04:59] c3l: that is all in xinput settings, and it's possible but not easy. [04:59] > amtel32u4 and tmk .. thank you very much .. job done [04:59] c3l: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Input [05:00] pkircher, nicomachus: in principle it should be easy(?) Ideally I'd just have a small python script that listens to (hijacks) all keyboard input, and "sends" other input [05:01] nope [05:01] :) [05:01] hid is a entire different level .. but good luck .. special at the reaction times :) [05:02] c3l: why not just remap in the xinput config...? [05:02] because he wants to make a “fake” tmk keyboard .. [05:03] > as i sayed .. you be way better of .. if thats done in hardware and not in linux at all [05:03] > https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard is the firmware im referening to [05:04] Are we talking about tab completion for partial words system wide provided by a dictionary file (with later support for statistical word complete personalization) since nobody will port and modify the code from existing mobile applications? Because if so, I'm in. [05:05] that doesn't sound OT at all. [05:05] pkircher, am I supposed to reprogram my keyboard? I doubt that will be easy [05:05] Ima if i cou typ o th muc [05:05] (imagine if I could only type this much) [05:05] Spaces autocomplete of course [05:06] loveheartjoylov1: #ubuntu-dev [05:06] c3l: if you got a normal rubber dome .. your right .. if you got a “real” keyboard .. its easy .. apart from that .. === hansol is now known as Guest98070 [05:06] if you want the functionality of a fully programmable mecha [05:06] you gotta get a fully programmable mecha .. OR build it your self [05:07] pkircher, I have a laptop and the keyboard that's stuck on it .. :) [05:07] planck keyboard :P [05:07] fits perfectly over the laptop .. [05:07] and you are killing your hands with that shit .. [05:07] language. and off-topic. [05:08] very much topic [05:11] pkircher, would it not be possible to listen to /dev/input/eventX somehow? [05:12] I dont understand why people can write paths with /dev/sda or /dev/mapper/ev1 [05:13] and mountpoints, thats like 3 ways of doing the same [05:13] lerner: Different things. If something shows up in /dev/mapper it's probably more complex than /dev/sda. [05:13] lerner: /dev/mapper has things like LVM volumes, LUKS devices unlocked, etc. [05:14] is there any country that loves to use abreviations so extensively as americans? [05:15] Terser. You get your answer quicker. [05:19] LUKS = linux unified key system? [05:19] Another support question! So, using ALSA, I used to be able to say "amixer sset Master toggle", but PulseAudio seems to want something different. Is there a clean way to toggle muting from the command line? [05:20] lerner: Yar. man cryptsetup [05:20] Despite the name, it's not just Linux. DragonflyBSD also supports it. [05:24] ChibaPet: mute would be "amixer set Master mute" [05:24] but toggle also does work [05:25] ChibaPet: pactl set-sink-mute 0 toggle [05:25] is it possible to remote desktop from ubuntu 14.04 ==> OS X ? i.e. so i could do things like compile iOS apps on my mac mini when i'm not home ? [05:25] ChibaPet: That will work too, using pavucontrol and not ALSA. [05:25] ty both [05:26] ChibaPet: s/pavucontrol/PulseAudio/ [05:26] hi [05:26] ChibaPet: PulseAudio employs the ALSA components... [05:27] Mm. I'm just finding that my command is muting a bunch of stuff, and I'm having to go in with alsamixer to unmute it all. [05:27] I'll try these new invocations you've kindly provided. [05:27] ChibaPet: see here for more on ALSA/PulseAudio: https://askubuntu.com/questions/426983/how-can-i-tell-if-im-using-alsa-or-pulse-audio-by-default-switching-to-i3-wm [05:27] ty [05:27] (Ah, I'm thinking about i3 here. Heh.) [05:29] i3 ftw :) [05:30] I script wmctrl and xprop to get tiling navigation now, and, um, dzen2, but it might be simpler to just use i3 stuff. [05:31] I never could get comfortable with tiling. [05:32] My hybrid approach is floating windows with overlap, but tiling behaviour. It's a decent compromise, mostly arising from my dinosaurlike insistence on 80-column terminal windows. [05:34] need help running Minecraft on 15.10 [05:34] vanish: Server or client? [05:37] pkircher, Actually,I think this can be done with a python script. with evdev I can both read from /dev/input/eventX that is my keyboard, and generate custom input with uinput device [05:41] Testing [05:41] Microphone check [05:42] Ah, that link had a subsequent link to http://voices.canonical.com/david.henningsson/2012/07/13/top-five-wrong-ways-to-fix-your-audio/, which gave me the glorious "echo autospawn=no > ~/.pulse/client.conf", and now my amixer sset is happy again. [05:43] !yay | ChibaPet [05:43] ChibaPet: Glad you made it! :-) [05:43] Is there anyone using ubuntu SDK? I get iso-codes package Size mismatch error when trying to create build target [05:43] wjx: try #ubuntu-dev [05:44] or even #ubuntu-touch [05:44] thanks I will try [05:45] hallo [05:48] Woot. So, as a reward for dominating .Xauthority, PulseAudio, libdvdcss, and if not dominating home-on-ZFS than at least fighting it to a draw, I'm going to watch a DVD.

[06:44] it doesnt specify.. simply says "works out of the box" [06:47] dani--: try it and find out? [06:56] it seams unlikely that the tv card will work out of the box without specific software in mind??? [06:56] Ben64, ? [06:57] drivers only work with specific hardware dont they? [06:57] mare [07:01] dani--: You of course need to install software that makes use of Tuner cards, like Kodi. In this case "Out of the box" likely is intended to mean, without installing any additional drivers or doing extra configuration beyond installing some software that uses the tuner. [07:01] thanks Jordan_U ... so do you think it will work on most tv software? such as Kaffiene? [07:02] or mythtv? [07:03] dani--: Yes. While I don't have experience with any such software, I expect that they all support the same hardware since the hardware support is part of the kernel. [07:03] :) very good. thanks for your opinion mate [07:03] dani--: You're welcome. [07:04] hi === o is now known as Guest62268 [07:04] 大家好 [07:09] ne how [07:10] I have 24 packages to be installed and the packages are to be installed in sequence [07:10] good one decci [07:10] What is the best possible way to get it installed...installer???

[07:13] Will apt-get still look into the current folder [07:13] To fetch the dependency [07:16] decci: How did you figure out the appropriate packages to download? You can use dpkg and shell globs to install a set of packages, but I want to make sure that you've properly grabbed the correct packages first. [07:17] Jordan_U: while installing I got the dependency errors and that's what I collected [07:17] Jordan_U: well I am using fresh machine to identify the missing packages [07:17] decci: added ppa's of any kind? [07:18] lotuspsychje: no...it's customer specific [07:18] No...ppa [07:19] Not avl on public forum [07:19] hey i run ubuntu tooo [07:19] hello guys [07:19] i don't like ubuntu [07:19] why not [07:19] :s [07:19] decci: What are you trying to install exactly?

Any way to access files of the memory card ? [07:20] silenced have u tried xlr sd? [07:20] Silenced: How are you trying to access the files? What happens when you try? [07:20] Silenced: tried with gparted if you still can see the card [07:21] i put ubuntu on my grandma's computer [07:21] and she yelled at me [07:21] Jordan_U: I have custom .deb packages built [07:21] how do i fix this? [07:21] And they are couple of them [07:21] decci: Did you build them or did someone else? [07:21] But inn sequence [07:21] decci: nice bro [07:21] how to uninstall ubuntu [07:21] Jordan_U: yes...I build it with my team [07:21] try debian fiestgirlxd [07:21] u might like it [07:21] ZZZZ_, Jordan_U ,lotuspsychje : "sudo fdisk -l" doesn't shows any entry of the SD card [07:21] FiestyGirlXD: Did you install Ubuntu alongside another OS, or did you replace the OS that was on the computer before? [07:22] i dunno [07:22] silenced ah, is the reader faulty by any chance? [07:22] as a browser [07:22] Silenced: try a tail -f /var/log/syslog and insert your sd for errors [07:22] Now I can install them but in sequence.. [07:22] yeah, that's how [07:22] [XUbuntu] How to setup pppoe network via router with Network manager? At this moment I configured ppoe with 'ppoeconf' and after editing /etc/network/interfaces I always get 'Waiting up network for 60 sec' and 'Booting system without full network support'.

Other cards working fine [07:22] i installed it as a browser [07:22] i remember now [07:22] I want installer to take care of it [07:23] decci: sudo dpkg -i /path/to/.deb/file/*.deb [07:23] like what the fuck else did i install it as [07:23] It's system management tool [07:23] FiestyGirlXD: Please watch your language in this channel. [07:23] Ok [07:24] Jordan_U: ok [07:24] FiestyGirlXD: What do you mean by "I installed it as a browser"? Are you connected from your Grandmother's computer right now? [07:27] i went online [07:27] and clicked install [07:27] i went to the ubuntu website [07:28] Silenced: If the card isn't showing up as a disk at all, there's not really anything you can do about that in software. Seems like a hardware problem. Does "dmesg" reveal any relevant looking error messages when you plug the SD card in? [07:30] hi [07:31] i am wondering can you tell me, is intel b960 with 4GB of ram and 2nd gen intel hd graphics is it compatible with Ubuntu? this laptop is running windows 8.1 perfectly but i'm getting tired of windows.. [07:32] Michael_Wright: Try Ubuntu from a LiveUSB first and see how well it works on your hardware before installing. [07:32] alright [07:32] ubuntu will run on almost anyhting [07:32] jordan_U if you had to guess would it work fine? [07:34] Michael_Wright: Intel graphics are generally well supported out of the box, any CPU will be supported just find, and 4 GiB of RAM is more than enough for most use cases (especially since it seems like enough RAM for what you want to do in Windows). Where compatability becomes an issue with hardware tends to be Wireless cards, so you should check that wireless works in the live environment before installin [07:34] g. [07:37] hi [07:37] hi [07:37] hi person [07:37] a yes ... [07:37] this is ubuntu server ???? === Guest98070 is now known as hansol [07:38] this is where we get down and dirty [07:38] i"ve 1 question for my xubuntu desktop ..... [07:38] !server | agung [07:38] agung: 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 [07:39] FiestyGirlXD: Please limit your comments to only productive Ubuntu support discussion. This is your second warning. Further unproductive comments will lead to removal from the channel. [07:39] Can I change desktop enviroment to kde desktop ????? [07:40] oh, sorry [07:40] agung: Yes you can, but for future questions please limit yourself to a single question mark. [07:41] yes ,, thank you ... I newbie to use xchat .... hehehe [07:41] agung: If you install the "kubuntu-desktop" metapackage then you will get all of the packages that are installed in a default installation of Kubuntu, but will still keep all of your existing applications. You can then choose a KDE session from the login manager. Note that since you'll have applications from both Xubuntu and Kubuntu your application menus will be more cluttered than they would be if you h [07:41] ad just installed one or the other. [07:42] jordran_u what do u recommend for a first time user as a desktop environment [07:43] !flavors | ZZZZ_ [07:43] ZZZZ_: !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu. [07:43] ZZZZ_, avoid gnome and avoid unity [07:43] kde desktop will fine in my laptop?? because i use the old laptop with low spec ..... [07:43] !behelpful | dani-- [07:43] dani--: As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful". If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. [07:43] ubottu i dont mean to be un helpfull [07:43] dani--: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:44] dani--: unity and gnome are also user friendly in use [07:44] i wont argue [07:45] ZZZZ_: I don't know. Unity is the Ubuntu default, and seems like it's probably pretty easy to use but GNOME, XFCE, and KDE seem pretty intuitive also. It's very subjective. I like GNOME Shell and XFCE, but I'm far from a first time user and honestly which DE I'm using doesn't really affect my use cases much. [07:45] if install the kde ,, I'll have the 2 enviroment before login ?? [07:45] kde is much better [07:46] i recommend kde or cinamin or mate or metacity [07:46] yes ,, i think so .... [07:46] ZZZZ_: Gnome, KDE, Cinnamon, and XFCE are all good choices really [07:46] Yu[ [07:46] Yup [07:46] KDE is the only of those that I haven't used extensively [07:46] my laptop is low spec ... i had only 512 mb of ram ..... [07:47] agung: Eh, KDE isn't really a good choice if you have that little RAM [07:47] agung: KDE might be a bit much for that little RAM, probably best to stick with XFCE or buy more RAM. [07:47] Could also try openbox [07:48] xubuntu is low specs [07:48] i see slax use the kde enviroment .... [07:48] 512mb? Try Lubuntu... [07:49] I use the xubuntu ... maybe instal the lubuntu desktop enviroment???? [07:50] i think slax can install in hdd partition .... but not ... just in the disk .... [07:51] how do i get company of heroes II working on ubuntu [07:51] this is annoying [07:52] FiestyGirlXD: did you try playonlinux? [07:52] agung: What don't you like about XFCE? [07:53] i already own it and all [07:53] alright [07:53] how do i download linuxpolay [07:54] FiestyGirlXD: Did you install it via Steam or through some other method? [07:54] agung, founf a test on the interwebs where someone compared the RAM usage of different distros. http://mylinuxexplore.blogspot.no/2014/11/ubuntu-1410-vs-kubuntu-1410-vs-xubuntu.html [07:54] got it on steam [07:54] that's the method i used [07:54] FiestyGirlXD: What happens when you try to play the game? [07:55] i think xfce is weight for my pc ... [07:55] i get mad and fling my arms around [07:56] FiestyGirlXD: he means, what happens as error? [07:56] FiestyGirlXD: This is your last warning about unproductive comments. [07:57] agung: lubuntu for nice and light [07:58] yes , I'll try it later .... thank for your sugestion .... :) [07:59] i just installed lubuntu. pretty amazed by how small everything is [07:59] totally resurrected my laptop [07:59] does it auto resize resolution in vmware? [08:00] haven't installed vmware yet, still pretty new to linux in general [08:00] kfm2: Please clarify your question. [08:00] zermizh: this is an ubuntu support channel here, please only use for questions === bizukifu is now known as Guest32560 [08:01] zermizh: you can use #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-discuss for other chat [08:01] currently im trying to figure out why ubuntu doesnt auto-fit the resolution to the vmware window [08:01] even though vmware guest tools are installed [08:01] Can linux open the apk file .... i see the android use the linux kernel ... [08:02] agung: what are you trying to do exactly? [08:03] i try to open , but not happend ..... i think the format not support [08:04] kfm2: Please pastebin the output of "lsmod" and "pgrep vmware" from within the guest. [08:05] agung: is this what you need? http://xmodulo.com/how-to-run-android-emulator-on-ubuntu-or-debian.html [08:05] agung: Short answer, no. Longer answer, it's possible but probably not worth the trouble. Why Android and Ubuntu both use a linux kernel, almost everything above the kernel is completely different. [08:06] agung: *While [08:07] Jordan_U, can you recommend a piece of software to use with my tv tuner card? I've heard MythTV is the best.. but it's too heavy weight.. i need something i can shrink and leave on top on my desktop while i work on my computer.... any suggestions? [08:07] yes thank you for your answer ....... [08:07] dani--: I haven't used any of such software before so no. [08:07] ah np [08:08] Jordan_U, this is the output of lsmod, but "pgrep vmware" shows nothing: http://pastebin.com/uqwaVFN5 === Guest68345 is now known as MiningMarsh [08:13] kfm2: You have the vmware kernel modules inserted but the vmware-tools daemon isn't running. How did you install vmware-tools? [08:13] Jordan_U, oh i switched setting to "Scale all window contents to match: "Unknown Display"", now it works :D [08:13] Jordan_U, I extracted the archive in /media/$username and run the install.pl file as root [08:28] hello [08:30] hi === niko is now known as Guest30073 === nik0 is now known as niko [08:39] regarding juju-openstack single .. is there a way to change the vm sizes of the 3 nodes ? [08:41] I am trying to get logitech harmony elite to work with my ubuntu PC, but I cant. It worked well with my old logitech harmony one, but now I am totally lost. Anyone able to offer some guidance? [08:45] is there something work like hotspotshield for ubuntu [08:47] Bassem: hotspotshield seems to just be a VPN, and yes most VPN solutions work with Ubuntu. [08:48] Jordan_U, so is there one for ubuntu ? or i should install hotspotshield on ubuntu [08:48] Bassem: Do you know what a VPN is? [08:49] Jordan_U, yes i do, virtual private network [08:49] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVPN [08:49] Do you use it for privacy? [08:49] Jordan_U, hotspotshield help me to browse the internet through vpn which give me more privacy [08:50] openvpn will do the same [08:50] just follow the wiki [08:50] Jordan_U, so i wonder if there's a program do the same for ubuntu i just need to install hotspotshield on ubuntu [08:50] Bassem: Great. Assuming that hotspotshield is just a VPN and nothing more, you can probably connect to it via network manager in Ubuntu without installing any additional software. If it's more than just that, then to be honest you probably don't want the other "features" of hotspotshield's software anyway. [08:51] Bassem. Then pay for one... This one i basicly giving ALL your information to one company who live off selling your information [08:51] If its free, you are the product... [08:51] and if you pay a bill for the server .. its not privat anymore [08:52] its traceable to you .. rather easyly [08:52] Jordan_U, but i dont know the details of the vpn to connect to it how can get vpn details [08:53] One rather easy way to provide some privacy is using 2 browsers. One for face etc and bank. And one for all the others. [08:54] Atleast it protects you from threads like this. VPN do not. http://brettpthomas.com/online-porn-could-be-the-next-big-privacy-scandal.html [08:54] lahaugen87: not true .. to the outside its still the same ip :) [08:55] IP is not your biggest thread. Your unique browser is [08:55] security comes in layers .. [08:56] a vpn is useless .. same as just a different browser .. [08:56] :) [08:56] you need to layer it .. [08:56] i am running ubuntu 15.10, there is no way to re-arrange or remove PLaces in Nautilus right? If not can anyone recommend a file manager that can? [08:56] anyway if you are consirn about your privacy .. use tor .. [08:57] and ofc for your banking stuff a separat browser where you actualy have anony. sessions with empty cookies / localstore [08:58] Hi all - can anyone tell me what this is? I was told we have a 'repo' at blah/blah/ubuntu/lucid|precise|trusty/binary/Package.gz - there's no 'dists' directory and no Releases file - just Packages.gz and a manifest? [08:59] thats not really a repo is it? its like a dump of someone's apt directory ? [09:00] What's the next stable version of Ubuntu? [09:00] 16.04 [09:00] I mean the LTS version. [09:00] the next version is the next lts, 16.04 [09:00] Okay, I'll opt for that one before 2017 [09:00] Bassem: Who are you trying to gain privacy from? If you use a VPN (with the exception of TOR) you are basically just changing who can see where you're browsing to. Without a proxy, your ISP can see where you're browsing to and with a proxy the company running the proxy service can see where you're browsing. [09:01] Avoided to upgrade to 2014 LTS as it didn't make sense to upgrade from 2012 [09:01] It's just been 2 years since [09:02] viju: yes, new LTS is every 2 years [09:02] Jordan_U, some website are blocked in my location, and hotspotshield give me access to it [09:02] I see. [09:02] viju: support for LTS versions is 5 years, you can't wait 4 years each time or you'll run out [09:03] Didn [09:03] Didn't catch the last one. [09:04] I mean why not release it after 4 years instead? [09:04] because its how they do it .. [09:05] It only added the confusion, so, I might wonder if I should upgrade again in 2018 [09:05] viju: normally you'd upgrade LTS every 2 years [09:05] i dont even see the point talking about is right now +1 to that .. [09:05] Bassem: OK. For that any VPN service should do. http://itshidden.eu/ is a free service that supports OpenVPN and so should work with network-manager out of the box. Note that I have no experience with this service, and for all I know they may be aweful. [09:05] you keep the system uptodate anyway . so you gotta have some sort of orchistration in place [09:06] I keep the whole system updated. But I don't know what upgrades provided from one LTS to another. [09:06] are* [09:07] just change the apt source and run a upgrade [09:07] At the same time I don't want to be left behind and not upgrade because I don't understand some things. [09:07] its mostly as simple as that [09:08] Jordan_U, thanks alot i'll give it a look [09:08] pkircher: That is *NOT* the correct way to upgrade Ubuntu, please be more careful about the advice you give. [09:09] !upgrade | viju pkircher [09:09] viju pkircher: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [09:09] Bassem: You're welcome. [09:09] Jordan_U, I'll have at a look at it. [09:09] Thanks! [09:10] viju: You're welcome. [09:10] One more thing, if I upgrade as in the instructions, what happens to my files and other settings? [09:11] I am more concerned about my files. [09:11] hi === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [09:14] viju: Apt will never touch any files in your homedir, if that's what you're afraid of [09:15] viju: Note that even if you never upgrade, you should always have good backups of all of your important files in case your hard drive dies, or your house burns down, etc. === dearn_ is now known as dearn [09:17] Okay, I'll backup everything before the upgrade. [09:17] Waiting for the 16.04 release. [09:19] viju: you have two upgrades to do to get to 16.04 from 12.04 [09:20] does anyone know a chatroom that is focused on gaming? I want to ask about call of duty. [09:21] Ben64, I can't skip to 16.04? [09:21] viju: nope [09:30] ciao [09:32] LibertyWeNeed: If you're using steam to get Call of Duty, then #ubuntu-steam might be able to help. === cpmx_ is now known as cpmx [09:36] Jordan_U, Thank your reply.

In one case you're more likely to run into missing functionality, in the other you're more likely to end up with packages you don't want or need. Which do you think would bother you more? [09:48] what r the downsides of extra packages, besides Disk-space? [09:49] Linus_: In most cases, that's it. [09:49] How do I make an executable start automatically in ubuntu 14.04 Server? [09:50] Jordan_U: well, i guess also, more updating time & amount.. could annoy some people [09:50] Linus_: There are a few packages that start services by default, like openssh-server, mysql, apache2, but I wouldn't expect any of those to be part of recommends for another package. [09:50] Jordan_U: but if it doesnt take up more RAM or CPU, i guess it doen't matter [09:51] Jordan_U: or do the "extra" packages have more security vulnerabilities? [09:52] Jordan_U: i've noticed the hardcore-security guys, love super bare-boned systems [09:54] i guess the reason, i'm asking is, i did turn OFF "recommended packages " a while ago, and i'm wondering if that is causing problems now, just like the error message zin got above. [09:55] This is my error message: :0: UserWarning: You do not have a working installation of the service_identity module: 'No module named pyasn1_modules.rfc2459'.

[10:01] ezech_, then I would install cinnamon ;-D [10:02] kfm2, I did, I like ubuntu better - just need some nice looking theme for unity [10:02] or if you mean a desktop environment, I like unity better [10:03] just too dead-body color scheme [10:03] what. [10:03] ezech_: how about ubuntu MATE ? [10:03] hello, im trying to work libvirt via virt-manager and app armor is giving me quite a headache. when creating a VM i get the message Unable to complete install: 'error from service: ListActivatableNames: Failed to query AppArmor policy: No such file or directory' [10:04] ezech_: use another theme then. [10:04] !themes [10:04] Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freecode.com/tags/theme - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [10:04] I've tried disabling app armor for libvirtd via: sudo apparmor_parser -R /etc/apparmor.d/usr.lib.libvirt.virt-aa-helper and sudo apparmor_parser -R /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.libvirtd [10:05] if i restore the apparmor then it will create the VM [10:05] im very confused about this behavior [10:05] k1l, I'm browsing them but I can't find one that works (like doesn't have white font on light grey and other stupidity like that) [10:06] which non-default you usually use? [10:09] Memory card can't be accessed . Any way to access files of the memory card ? [10:10] if it can't be accessed, how do you expect to access it ? [10:10] "why" can't it be accessed [10:10] Silenced, if your card is going bad try using it in the last device it was successfully working in [10:13] ok, so a different question - is there a repository with unity themes or do I need to ancient-times-linux-engineer gtk themes made for other de's? [10:13] not aware of specific unity themes [10:14] there seems to be very little specific themes designed for unity [10:14] not all the GTK themes seem to be picked up by unity [10:14] ezech_: personally - personally, I like KDE, but there should be plenty of gtk/gnome themes around ? [10:14] ezech_: doesn't gnome have some sort of widget for downloading new themes ? [10:16] Hello, my mobile broadband is no longer visible in NetworkManager. yesterday it worked.. ;) ubuntu 14.04, elitebook qualcam Adapter. any idea? [10:16] DaHopi: is it a dongle ? [10:16] nope, internal HP adapter [10:16] does it show up in the hardware list ? [10:17] DaHopi: it doesn't have a 'hot key' to disable it in hardware does it? a lot of lappies have them... [10:17] jap hw is OK and syslog shows messages [10:17] so it's just network manager not displaying it [10:17] (in the applet I assume) [10:17] jap hotkey exists and is in, if i Boot win10 it works.. [10:18] jeah i think its just a display Problem.. [10:18] can you manually add the device ? [10:18] does it show up in the network-manager command line tool ? [10:18] if i Start network settings, theres no wwan option [10:19] ikonia: no [10:19] mech422__, gnome does have a widget for themes, I'm using unity though [10:19] ezech_: No man. Its not working in any device [10:20] The problem is that its not even accessible [10:20] ikonia: is there a shell command that i can try? [10:20] Silenced, replace it for a new one if you still have a receipt then, consider it broken [10:20] on ubuntu 12.04 had mmcli [10:20] DaHopi: have you tried the network-manager command line interface ? [10:20] I need the data in it. That's it [10:20] Silenced: so there you go then [10:20] Silenced: it's not working - it's dead [10:21] ikonia: i will try it.. have to take place in train.. mom.. [10:21] ikonia: Yup. Been trying from morning. Couldn't find a solution :/ Atleast if it mounts i can try something. Its not even mounting up :/ [10:22] Silenced: it won't mount if it can't be seen / dead === cookiemonster is now known as CookieM|NL [10:41] ezech_: Sorry - I haven't really followed the whole unity thing - I thought it was just a gnome skin and some applets/'lenses' :-P [10:41] tomreyn: [10:42] tomreyn: I figured it out - the video package error is gone [10:42] mech422__: its a bit more. its another gnome-shell using compiz. [10:43] ImportError: No module named gi.repository [10:43] please help [10:43] k1l: ahh... so shouldn't compiz/gnome themes work with it ? errr...or would it be gtk themes these days ? [10:44] bestbirdaround: what ubuntu exactly? what are you doing? [10:44] mech422__: since unity is somewhat different from the gnome gnome-shell you need themes made for unity. [10:44] k1l: 14.04, I messed up my libraries with pip (prob) trying to get some dev versions and get my hands dirty with gtk+ development [10:44] now no app using it is albe to work [10:45] sorry, i am not familiar with pip [10:46] bestbirdaround: if you find out which package is messed up, you can purge/re-install the debs [10:47] bestbirdaround: then if you play with pip - do it in an virtualenv :-) [10:47] bestbirdaround: are you sure you dont want pygtk? [10:47] mech422__: It's python2-gobject or python3-gi [10:47] but I reinstalled both and problem presists [10:47] that's why I'm here [10:47] bestbirdaround: sounds like pip updated another module as well [10:47] yes, seems you need pygobjekt [10:48] mech422__: It's really old installation, I would like to try some stuff before reinstalling [10:48] Hey there! [10:48] Just curious if anyone's around that's willing to help, new user here running into a few issues during installation [10:48] at current state a lot of my favorite software is broken [10:49] bestbirdaround: is python-gi installed? [10:49] bestbirdaround: but pip uses its own software repos. [10:49] ok, I've solved my themes issue with some noobslab repos and gnome themes applet which worked well enough - it even added some gnome wallpapers :) [10:49] k1l: I'm not sure it's broken by pip, might be as it was last think I was doing before I noticed [10:50] k1l: python3-gi is isntalled [10:50] bestbirdaround: python-gi [10:50] bestbirdaround: ok - re-installing the python packages really shouldn't hurt but up to you - just remember, in the future - python lets you create 'virtualenvs' for playing with stuff like this - insulates your system libraries from any 'funny stuff' [10:51] I formatted my drive to ext4 (just to wipe it), tried a Ubuntu install with LUKS encryption and LVM. When I would try to put I would get an error that said the Filesystem could not be mounted: /boot/efi, I could Skip (S) or Manual Config (M). Neither one would always work, most times it leaded to me having to power off again. I also noticed that when I boot I get a ton of errors with nouveau that spam my screen. I'm running live right [10:51] k1l: I'll try reinstalling python-gi I didn't notice that one was there as well [10:51] WHen I would try to reboot* [10:52] sudo apt-get install --reinstall python-gi [10:52] ImportError: No module named gi.repository [10:52] still [10:52] THis was a windows computer but I used gparted to wipe the drive. It still uses UEFI and Secure Boot [10:52] mech422__: how would I do that? [10:52] bestbirdaround: http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/ [10:52] The reinstall part. [10:53] bestbirdaround: most apt stuff depends on python. so if you break python by manual (or with pip) changing files that might not work anymore === svetlana is now known as Guest66707 [10:53] Anyone have any suggestions by chance? [10:53] bestbirdaround: oh sorry - um - I'd probably just purge/re-install all the python-gtk stuff [10:54] bestbirdaround: the command line apt client shouldn't need gtk, so I don't think that will be a problem [10:54] mech422__: I tired a lot of doint that. I might have missed some packages but I don't think this will take me anywhere with more blind reinstalls. [10:54] mech422__: It doesn't. [10:54] doing* [10:55] Can I have another question. [10:55] bestbirdaround: It might be easier then trying to track down if pip upgraded any of the 'C' libraries... [10:55] mech422__: the command line commands use python which doesnt work when python is messed up [10:56] I formatted my drive to ext4 (just to wipe it), tried a Ubuntu install with LUKS encryption and LVM. When I would try to restart I would get an error that said the Filesystem could not be mounted: /boot/efi, I could Skip (S) or Manual Config (M). Neither one would always work, most times it leaded to me having to power off again. I also noticed that when I boot I get a ton of errors with nouveau that spam my screen. I'm running live ri [10:56] k1l: its only his python gtk modules that are messed up isn't it ? eg 'python ' starts a REPL ? [10:57] Can i install a dual boot . I have ubuntu now. Can i install Windows now ? [10:57] remind: sounds like ya got one of them new fangled EFI bios's and you wiped something it was looking for ? [10:57] mech422__: Can I do anything to fix that? [10:57] Silenced_v2: If you have free space on your drive then sure. [10:57] mec422__: Please be gentle, new user here, haha [10:57] Silenced_v2: yes, [10:58] Silenced_v2: Mind that you will need linux live to fix grub afterwards. [10:58] remind: I'd imagine a new release of one of the 'rescue' CDs might be able to help ? [10:58] mech422__: see 5minutes before in backlog. even apt-get doesnt work [10:58] remind: I really don't know much about EFI [10:58] I need to reduce the size of /home . Will that affect the data in it ? [10:58] Silenced_v2: It is the program that allows you to boot to either of your OSes, windows will not install it [10:58] k1l: oh - I though he meant he ran the apt-get and his gtk stuff still didn't work === fecaloid_ is now known as fecaloid [10:59] Silenced_v2: Do it from live usb with gparted, it should allow you to shrink your partition without affecting your data BUT [10:59] mec422__: I'm not sworn to UEFI, but when I try to select Legacy it won't let me boot into the USB, even under boot options. Even if I pick the USB with the live ISO, it boots into my network controller it seems because it starts talking about DHCP [10:59] Silenced_v2: BUT please do a backup [10:59] But ? [10:59] k1l: he could manually unpack the archived versions of the .debs...but icck.... [10:59] Damn :/ i always hate this backing up stuff [11:00] hello [11:00] is it safe to press control alt f1? it seems like a terminal, but I never logged in [11:01] net2014: its called "tty1". its a console [11:01] mech422__, k1l any ideas? [11:01] Does anyone use guake here ? [11:01] mec422__: Thanks for the help. I'm kind of at a stand still because I have no idea what to do. I don't have anymore files on this computer at all, however, after struggling to get into the live USB (it takes a lot of restarts because it just won't make it to the install), all I want is a fresh install with Ubuntu working :( [11:01] I saw you both talking about my problem. [11:02] net2014: it is safe, you can get out of ther with ctrl+alt+f7, those are just your graphic environments [11:02] Silenced_v2 i tried guake once, but dropped it, because of keybinding issues i couldnt change [11:02] it's just normal console you are seeing [11:03] MonkeyDust i guess those key binding bugs are fixed now [11:03] bestbirdaround: revert the changes you made. that is all i can say ./ [11:03] k1l: easier said then done [11:03] bestbirdaround: sadly yes :/ [11:03] bestbirdaround, once a game stuck, pressed control alt f1 then control alt f7 and game quit, how is that possible? [11:03] k1l: I think I'll start backing up my data and proparing my body for 5h of configuring and installing stuff [11:03] Could someone supply with any tutorial or link on how to use tmux ? [11:04] bestbirdaround: depends how big a hammer you want to take to it...you could boot a live/rescue cd and use that to recover ? [11:04] mech422__: at that point I would rather do clean installation [11:04] Would anyone else have an idea: I can't boot into a fresh install of Ubuntu because of 2 reasons it seems (And I use to have Windows, but I don't dual boot): Filesystem could not be mounted: /boot/efi, and a ton of nouveau errors that spam. I can get the live USB to work but it takes a lot of restarts until it finally takes [11:04] bestbirdaround: you might want to change your "testing environment" for an easier rollback. like using snapshots or vms [11:04] hey all im trying to do this: http://fbksoft.com/6-tips-to-make-eclipse-lighter-prettier-and-more-efficient/ [11:05] remind: can you just disable network boot in your bios to get the usb to boot ? [11:05] mech422__: Using legacy? [11:05] k1l: I don't have one. It's my home PC for games and stuff. Next time I start installing random libraries with stuff outside of apt-get [11:05] remind: shouldn't have too - you can usually just tell your NICS not to net boot [11:05] mech422__: I wouldn't mind using legacy, to be honest I don't know too much of a difference between Legacy, UEFI, and UEFI with CSM. Currently it's set to UEFI and has Secure Boot on [11:05] remind: its usually in the 'boot order' stuff [11:05] I'll make sure to sandbox it somethow or prepare a rollback [11:06] Does Secure boot work with linux ? I thought you needed some signed cert for that to work ? [11:06] mech422__: The whole network manager thing only happens if I switch to Legacy. When I switch to UEFI it boots, but I get all of those errors I talked about. I figured with the whole 'could not be mounted /boot/efi' it was related to using UEFI [11:06] mech422__: secureboot works with ubuntu [11:07] k1l: oh, cool [11:07] k1l: Didn't UEFI too with newest one [11:07] ? [11:07] k1l: did ubuntu pay for a cert ? or do all linuxes work with it now ? [11:08] What else could cause the /boot/efi not mounting errors that's preventing me from booting? I thought maybe there was a trace of the Windows MBR or something but I formatted/deleted all of the partitions using GParted [11:08] iirc all big linux distributions paid for a cert. but i am not too much into that secureboot/uefi topic [11:09] remind: I _think_ that might be part of the problem - I seem to recall something about EFI using a disk partition for bootloaders and utilitys ? [11:09] remind: best thing I can say, is google linux UEFI install ?? [11:10] !uefi [11:10] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [11:10] I ran this command: tar -zxvf eclipse-platform-4.6M4-linux-gtk.tar.gz where do i find the output? [11:10] I just saw "QuickBoot/FastBoot and Intel Smart Response Technology (SRT) should be disabled" [11:11] But without windows, how could I even do that? [11:11] remind: bios setup screen ? [11:11] remind: my machien is actually UEFI and has all kinds of stuff I don't touch in the bios :-P [11:11] mech422__: There's nothing about fast boot in my BIOS, I saw that before and went through every menu === arvid is now known as Arvid [11:12] remind: quickboot/fastboot is a bios function though..?? [11:12] remind: that skips the RAM check and stuff [11:12] Mech422__: I couldn't find it anywhere [11:12] remind: please see the bots message for uefi [11:12] remind: it might be called 'POST' - fast post or quick post or something [11:14] ikonia: im back, now on a long range train.. [11:14] ;) [11:15] ikonia: any idea to solve my broadband issue? [11:15] ikonia: i dont have the nework-manager command line command.. [11:15] remind: hey man [11:15] nm-tool doesnt shows wwan adapter.. [11:17] remind: maybe try updating BIOS/EFI? [11:19] remind: maybe try installing without encryption, to see if that even works [11:21] hey all im trying to install a bare bone eclipse. I installed platform binaries and ran the tar.gz but when i run the executable nothing happens [11:21] django_: How did you "install" it?

[11:24] django_: btw - the jetbrains ide is much nicer then eclipse, last I looked - and its free now for android development [11:24] django_: run executable with terminal, there must be some output [11:24] django_: No need for installing something, you can use Eclipse from your home, which is actually the most sane way, when it comes to installing upgrades, etc. [11:24] *confused* [11:25] django_: Open terminal, using cd naviagate to place you extracted tarball, run the executable you mentioned with ./executablename [11:25] give us the output of that [11:27] https://gist.github.com/jk16/e08da9a02eb0f043f491 [11:28] django_: and it isn't running?

I recently upgraded Ubuntu Server 15.04 to 15.10. On 15.04 the microphone LED indicator of my laptop (Dell Latitude E7450) was working flawlessly out-of-the-box.

[11:53] hi artois [11:54] eclipse isn't that bad... at school, we have to work with netbeans [11:54] artois, not me ;) [11:55] ikonia: purge and re-installation of gobi-laoder did the trick.. thanx [11:55] trixtator: you sane person you [11:56] trixtator: ah, must be django_ [11:56] well i have eclipse, what i want is bare bone and i installed using Linux (x86_64/GTK+) [11:56] that version [11:56] now i need to add java to it: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.5.1-201509040015/#JDTRuntime [11:59] Hello, We are building a new local community gnulug, do you think our team can use some help from Ubuntu trainters on IRC? [12:00] Neo31: hrmm? [12:00] is google chrome available on arm linux platform? [12:01] Neo31 that's a question for #ubuntu-offtopic [12:01] pantato: chromium is [12:02] pantato: and the binary bits that chrome uses for things like... Netflix, for example, should also be [12:04] i thought netflix didn't work on anything but chrome [12:04] i'm thinking about grabbing a pine64 to replace my living room pc [12:07] https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/3atmhw/running_netflix_on_linux_on_arm/ [12:07] doesnt look promising =\ [12:11] pantato: which os are you plan to run on pine64 ? [12:12] planning* [12:13] raspbian on pi 2 also works good [12:14] for a general linux comparison better join ##linux [12:14] pantato: not for nothing, but reddit is not exactly where the most technologically knowledgeable people are [12:14] pantato: what I already told you makes the top rated comment look quite wrong, for example [12:15] pantato: anyway, you should also consider that buying a little x86 computer will only cost you about $40 more up front over a raspberry pi [12:16] intel caught up, it's close enough there's not a great argument to use arm for media centers anymore [12:16] if you literally have $50 and not $90, perhaps [12:16] but IME people spending time and money on a media PC do in fact have an extra $40 [12:19] pantato: works in chromium too [12:25] I wonder if there are any little arm SBCs that can playback HEVC reasonably well yet [12:29] artois: maybe the #ubuntu-arm guys know something? [12:30] sorry, just thining out loud [12:31] I don't really care personally (see above about x86 vs arm, etc.) [12:31] Why is do-release-upgrade saying that there is no new release (15.04) even if there is one? (i'm running lubuntu 14.04) [12:32] hicoleri: you need to upgrade to 14.10 first [12:32] and 14.10 is dead already [12:33] so 14.10 will kill my system? [12:33] no. but first think about if you really want to leave the LTS track. that means you need to upgrade every 6 months. [12:35] I actually want to upgrade to 15.04, so upgrading to 14.10 wont do any harm right? [12:35] hi [12:35] hicoleri: why you want 15.04? [12:35] hicoleri: 15.04 is days away from being end-of-life [12:36] y want to install ubuntu with another OS together help plz [12:36] hicoleri: (you can have the 15.04 kernel already in 14.04 and 15.04 is dead on february anyway and you need to upgrade to 15.10 then) [12:36] !dualboot | Aitor [12:36] Aitor: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [12:36] Aitor: make partitions for the OSs and install them [12:37] i have look a lot of web pages on the internet but they install ubntu desktop but when i download it i have the same as normal ubuntu [12:37] k1l:I didnt see that 15.04 wasnt an LTS release. Sorry about that. [12:38] thanks for helping me but i have questions :S [12:39] Aitor: what questions? please be specific [12:39] Aitor: Then ask a question which actually makes sense :) [12:39] if i make a partition and i install ubuntu on a partition it will work? [12:39] sry :S [12:39] Aitor: you still need a bootloader that loads ubuntu, but yes [12:41] i dont know 100% what is a bootloader... i am a noob i know... [12:42] Aitor : Install ubuntu and do boot repair [12:43] Aitor: the ubuntu installer will install a bootloader. [12:43] ok so i only have to install ubuntu? [12:43] Aitor: but the other OS might overwrite that bootloader. so it depends on the other OS how it handles that [12:44] If you already have Windows, and want to add Ubuntu, then yes [12:44] i have windows 7 [12:45] i will have any problem? [12:46] as long as the bootloader is installed in the right place, no you won't [12:47] what does it means? [12:47] hi my friends [12:48] sorry, i plan to run ubuntu on pine64 [12:48] you can't watch netflix on chromium... [12:49] Aitor: make place for (at least) one partition. install ubuntu into that. that is ok [12:49] http://askubuntu.com/questions/555615/netflix-on-chromium [12:49] eviladmin: [12:49] artois: [12:49] gswebspace: [12:50] ok and i have to install ubuntu desktop or normal version? [12:50] pantato: use chrome for netflix [12:50] k1l: it's not available on arm [12:50] Aitor: any version you want [12:50] and which are the differences between them? [12:51] What do you mean by normal? [12:51] Aitor: the preinstalled desktop that included another set of standard apps [12:51] okay [12:52] thanks a lot [12:52] pantato: again, full of wrong information [12:52] pantato: listen already :p [12:53] i should install 14.04 or 15.10? [12:53] Aitor: I'd go with the latest [12:54] Aitor: do you want to upgrade every 6 months? [12:54] realistically you should be updating more frequently than that [12:54] artois: please no. [12:54] artois: leave the users the choice [12:54] dont confuse with updates and ubuntu release upgrades. [12:55] Aitor: i'd go with 15.10, but then when 16.04 comes out soon, stick with that, cuz it is LTS [12:55] lotuspsychje: couldn't take it away if I tried, could I? [12:55] Linus_: makes no sense =) [12:55] if 15.10 is suitable, so shall 16.10 be [12:55] artois: okay, i believe you. Can you be a tad more descriptive though? [12:55] artois: cuz even if you get 14.04, you upgrade soon, anyway [12:55] but now i dontknow becouse 14.04 is lts but 15.10 is the newest........ [12:55] pantato: sure, about what in particular? [12:56] artois: are you aware of the ubuntu release cycles? [12:56] as to how i integrate / find the appriopriate binary bits so that i can run netflix on an ARM environment [12:56] Aitor: do you know what lts entails? [12:56] ok lets not have a discussion here, but actually help users make a choice [12:56] k1l: mmhmm [12:56] or maybe a link pointing me in the right direction [12:56] Aitor: go with 14.04 [12:56] entails? [12:56] pantato: http://askubuntu.com/questions/60133/where-can-i-find-chromium-binary-tarballs [12:56] Aitor: beginners tend to not upgrade that often so you run into troubles. LTS is better for beginners [12:56] k1l probably [12:57] pantato: they can apparently also be extracted from the chrome deb [12:58] Aitor: what LTS means for you [12:58] Aitor: oh,well, only if you DON"T plan on upgrading to 16.04. ---then get 14.04 [12:58] Long Term Support XD i know that [12:58] Linus_: you can upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 [12:58] artois: so i install chromium, then i find some libs from the x86 package? i'm confused [12:58] i know netflix doesn't work on chromium alone [12:59] but talking a beginner into a non-LTS where he needs to upgrade because is OS is dead in 6 months is not the good advice [12:59] pantato: I know you think you know that [12:59] Whats the difference between chrome and chromium ? [12:59] Silenced_v2: chrome is closed source, with proprietary bits added on top of chromium [12:59] Silenced_v2: chrome is based on chromium and google adds some stuff there. [12:59] chrome is based on chromium [12:59] chromium is the more Unixy way [12:59] k1l: what are the benefits of 14.04 over 15.10, ---if you are going to upgrade to 16.04 soon? i dont see any [13:00] ugh i'll go look right now on my machine [13:00] Linus_: you dont need to upgrade in 6 months because your OSs repos are shut down [13:00] chromium dont consume RAM as chrome [13:00] Oh okay. So its better to remove chrome then [13:00] Silenced_v2: basically [13:00] Chromium is much better packaged, at last for Unix systems [13:00] on top of being less encumbered by things you might not even want anyway [13:00] "much better packages" - sounds like FUD. [13:01] is better chromium [13:01] bekks: packageD [13:01] Linus_: stay in here for years and you will see that beginners will not upgrade anytime soon. so they have a longer timeframe to get used to and make the upgrade when they want [13:01] help [13:01] a lot of distro devs spent a long time picking chromium's build process apart so it wouldn't suck as much [13:01] artois: Sounds like even more FUD. [13:01] * artois shrugs === ghazalmf is now known as Guest68917 [13:01] k1l: exactly, so this is no benefit to 14.04 over 15.10 (if you plan on 16.04) [13:01] I need to modify a pdf in ubuntu [13:01] in the sense that I have to center the content [13:02] bekks: http://spot.livejournal.com/312320.html [13:02] when I print it the content is so in the left that it's cropped [13:02] not that you deserve it =) [13:02] I'm not sure what to do [13:02] Linus_: you missed my points. its about beginners and the timeframe of upgrade [13:02] Felishia: print with what, acroread? [13:02] artois, with a printer [13:02] Felishia: inkscape perhaps? [13:02] Felishia: ...with what software [13:03] k1l: i will do what yo say, i will install 14.04 [13:03] artois: I dont see any relevance to Ubuntu, seeing your link talking about Chroium under Fedora. Unless you can prove that the Chrome .deb files for Ubuntu have severe packaging problem, I still consider your theory as being FUD. [13:04] lotuspsychje, that actually worked o.o [13:04] bekks: not reading that =) [13:04] !yay | Felishia [13:04] Felishia: Glad you made it! :-) [13:04] artois: please dont give false advice because you asume ubuntu works as fedora does. [13:04] FYI, acroread doesn't always print as well (specifically regarding centering) as other things (like evince) [13:05] k1l: doesn't even seem you've been following the conversation [13:05] artois: I bet he did. [13:05] bekks: betting is not a factor [13:05] bekks: define "severe packaging problem" [13:05] artois: why do you always get this attitude in #ubuntu [13:06] lotuspsychje: probably because you always read my text as an angry actor would? Got me [13:06] artois: Define the ubuntu relevance of your Fedora chromium crap for Ubuntu. [13:06] artois: its not the first time in last minutes your advice was based on not knowing ubuntu specifics. [13:06] bekks: Ubuntu does not exist in a vacuum [13:06] hello everybody [13:06] k1l: you're right, it's not the first, because there hasn't been a first [13:06] Aitor: k1l 15.10 lasts until July 2016. so just upgrade to 16.04 by then. (anytime between April - July) [13:06] Guest13598: hi [13:06] artois: I'm not going to waste my time with your any further. *plonk* [13:07] bekks: =) [13:07] ***************** [13:08] hi "som sip" [13:08] Linus_: last time now: stay in here for a year and see how often beginners upgrade in the first months. its pure experience to let the beginner give more room to decide when to upgrade to 16.04 then to have a fixed deadline in less than 9 months. [13:08] Guest13598: hi again [13:08] i will install 14.04 and when 16.04 appears i will see... [13:09] Linus_: please stay in here and see how many user come in here having a EOL ubuntu. you would be amazed how often that happens. so please dont think because you can and will upgrade easily that beginners can do the same [13:09] Aitor: you'll be fine [13:09] yes i hope [13:10] knows someone if the power management is going to be fixed in 16.04? iirc they didn't wont the pm-utils quirks anymore without offering any alternative [13:10] this chat is better than for example microsoft help chat.... === hacker is now known as Guest10062 [13:10] k1l: i agree with that: if you don't want to be worried about upgrading to 16.04 by the summer, then yes, 14.04. My point is , that is the *Only* reason to choose 14.04 (not worrying about upgraedes) [13:11] flux242: #ubuntu+1 for xenial [13:11] or yes, you can install 16.04 Alpha right now, that actually worked for my friend who was having Wireless issues. === john is now known as Guest94110 [13:12] flux242: I don't think it was about quirks, just that systemd replaced them with something systemd ate, IIRC [13:13] i have hacked the pm-utils to work wit the systemd locally but would like to know what's the proper solution [13:13] i need an antimalware on ubuntu? [13:13] depends on how you hacked, it, probably === rtg is now known as Guest9132 [13:13] !info clamav | Aitor [13:13] Aitor: clamav (source: clamav): anti-virus utility for Unix - command-line interface.

[13:33] bye everyone and thanks for helping me [13:33] k1l: i need to disable fast boot on windows and it would work properly ? [13:33] Zeljko: yes.

[13:39] k1l: i cant run windows on pc....only i have Ubuntu in my options.. [13:39] Zeljko: so you dont have a windows anymore on that pc?

[13:58] Katronix: i have libbluray1 version 1:06.2-1 in my repos [13:58] Katronix, i don't see a configure ... [13:59] hrob2: r0x: linux has been more supported high-availability cloud platform providers than laptop manufacturers [13:59] ioria, you have to bootstrap first [13:59] Katronix: compiling should only be a last resort, cuz it can mess things up [14:00] Linus_, okay I have libbluray1 also installed latest version, so I guess I'm missing something else for VLC to play a purchased BluRay [14:00] Katronix: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libbluray&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all [14:01] r0x: pm-utils has replaced laptop-mode-tools long ago [14:02] flux242: how it works? [14:02] flux242: how does that compare to TLP? better? [14:02] and now systemd kind of replaced pm-utils. It can't handle lid close events though [14:03] gh [14:03] but is linux that sucks on laptop, I think [14:03] If I needed to verify what LD_LIBRARY_PATH was set to, shouldn't set | grep LD_LIBRARY_PATH tell me? [14:04] r0x: if your graphics card supported well then linux is fine on laptops [14:04] I have the integrated one [14:04] but the power consumption compared to windows is huge [14:05] hi guys [14:05] I think because of better drivers [14:05] or better optimized [14:06] r0x: I have additional hooks for pm-utils to make powertop report good [14:06] how to hack wifi guys :P [14:06] wahyu: you need wifi hack tool [14:07] r0x, have you tried powertop --auto-tune ? [14:07] Katronix, ./ configure --disable-udf [14:08] trixtator: yes [14:08] r0x: now powertop reports 3.5Watt usage and about 10 hours of work [14:09] flux242, what laptop do you have? [14:09] ok I got even further. [14:09] r0x: acer c740 [14:09] flux242: for me 10Watt usage [14:09] gh [14:09] I want to add an access policy for a program to access all input devices under /dev/input/event* [14:10] but I'm not on ubuntu! [14:10] should I simply run a script during my app install adding this policy to /etc/polkit-1/ [14:10] I only have ubuntu base system and very light DE [14:10] flux242 what's the output of cat /etc/issue [14:10] r0x, depending on your model it is not that bad [14:11] trixtator: but it's the same problem that I have in years and years with linux on laptop [14:12] but another laptop I have - thinkpad e300 iirc, only works for 2-3 hours with the same adjustment. So it depends [14:12] flux242, I am using xubuntu. [14:12] trixtator: with xubuntu I have 1 watt more [14:13] hi! [14:13] trixtator: I mean with xubuntu I have 1 watt more than with my customized DE [14:13] I have error unable to connect to libvirt ((cannot recv data ssh connect to host ubuntu port 22 connection refused [14:14] #asd [14:14] I have error unable to connect to libvirt ((cannot recv data ssh connect to host ubuntu port 22 connection refused [14:14] haidar, you sshd config ok? [14:15] flux242: what DE you use? [14:15] flux242, I have a asus n56vz. Low powerconsumption is not one of its favours. ;) [14:15] with acer c720 I could even go below 3 Watt [14:15] fluxbox? flux242 [14:15] no, I'm using i3 [14:17] punkoivan I can open the server in desktop but how can I check the configration [14:17] Why can't I install virtualbox-guest-x11 package? Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: virtualbox-guest-x11: depends xorg-video-abi-15, xserver-xorg-core. E: Unable to corect problems, [14:17] you have held broken packages. [14:18] flux242, how is the keyboard of your acer? [14:18] trixtator: in which sense? [14:18] flux242, typing quality [14:18] good [14:18] punkoivan I can open the server in desktop but how can I check the configration [14:20] it needs to be remapped of course because its chromebook. Apart from that its quite ok [14:20] haidar you can open /etc/ssh/sshd in your editor and check it [14:21] ok. still looking for a cheap portable, because my laptop is much too heavy for everday travel [14:21] any problems installing ubuntu? [14:21] I wouldn't recomment acer c740 at the moment [14:21] Is there a command for "sudo apt-get update" where you dont need the "sudo" or to enter ur password? [14:22] Linus_: no [14:22] intel graphics drm drivers have serious issues [14:22] well discovered my issue, the file at http://vlc-bluray.whoknowsmy.name/files/KEYDB.cfg is really really old, and doesn't know the proper code to decrypt the video [14:22] flux242, what would you recommend? === ztane_ is now known as ztane [14:24] acer c720 worked very good for me but the hardware is a bit outdated now. I only upgraded to acer c740 because i needed 4gb ram [14:24] hi everyone [14:24] anyone? [14:25] hi [14:25] trixtator: still acer c720 is a chromebook - not for everbody [14:25] punkoivan the ssh in desktop work but in server don't work [14:25] whois mushi [14:27] punkoivan the ssh in desktop work but in server don't work [14:28] hi, i hae a little question about zenity, i have a script which pops up a warning using zenity, however the script wait for the user to hit OK before the script continues, how can I make the script continue regardless if the user hits OK? === step21_ is now known as step21 [14:29] sruli: you should dump zenity. use yad instead, it's almost 1to1 drop in replacement and is supported [14:30] hello, i want to install grub in /dev/sda1, how i do that? [14:30] flux242: i dont see yad in synaptic package amnager [14:30] luvenfu, why? grub usually goes to /dev/sda [14:31] !find yad [14:31] Found: unity-scope-guayadeque, guayadeque, guayadeque-dbg, phpmyadmin, visualboyadvance [14:31] sruli: http://pastebin.com/nh3d4TSY [14:31] cfhowlett: i installed ubuntu recently and it asked me to install grub, i'm using a lenovo ideapad 100, even with grub, it starts on windows 10 [14:32] sruli: oh sorry, it was triggered as spam [14:32] !uefi | luvenfu you need to set up your uefi would be my bet [14:32] I have error unable to connect to libvirt ((cannot recv data ssh connect to host ubuntu port 22 connection refused" [14:32] luvenfu you need to set up your uefi would be my bet: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [14:32] flux242: which version of ubuntu? [14:32] sruli: 15.10 [14:33] flux242: i checked on 14.04, i see it in 15.10 now [14:33] cfhowlett: ok, i will enable my uefi, i disabled this because i needed for install ubuntu throught pendrive and uefi blocks this, thanks [14:33] sruli: if you are on 14.04 then just take a deb from launchpad. It needs no dependecies [14:33] I have error unable to connect to libvirt ((cannot recv data ssh connect to host ubuntu port 22 connection refused"?? [14:34] flux242: my intention was to use it on 15.10 anyway, where can i find docs for it? [14:34] s [14:34] sruli: but i can't tell you if it will solve your particular problem. 'man yad' [14:35] sruli: zenity has 40Megs of dependent packages! [14:35] sruli: yad is only 150k [14:36] flux242: i dont mind going to yad, but i need docs on how to use, man is good to find a option, not to read how it works [14:37] I have error unable to connect to libvirt ((cannot recv data ssh connect to host ubuntu port 22 connection refused"??

This is my config: https://gist.github.com/vpassapera/aa8f14cef434742f74c9 [14:40] When I try to turn on xinerama with screen 0 and 1 on, i get a completely black screen. Otherwise, I get 2 monitors and the 3rd one with an x cursor and black [14:40] I tried turning SLI on, but that kills the second screen....Not sure how to proceed here as documentation is sparse [14:40] any help appreciated [14:41] hello here [14:42] I have error unable to connect to libvirt ((cannot recv data ssh connect to host ubuntu port 22 connection refused"?? === ubuntu is now known as Guest95410 [14:44] I have error unable to connect to libvirt ((cannot recv data ssh connect to host ubuntu port 22 connection refused"??

[14:51] and password [14:51] homa yes [14:53] thanks the problem solved ssh didn't create on desktop [14:59] hi does anyone know how to change my ip address? [15:00] i am on 15.04 [15:02] basnapster: on the bar at the top of the screen you should have a networking indicator [15:02] basnapster: choose edit connections [15:04] I plugged in my Nexus 5, originally it worked fine as a USB mass storage device, now all of a sudden, without having made any relevant changes on either device (to my knowledge), it does not automount [15:04] I don't know what to do. [15:05] basnapster: you pick your adapter and there is ip4 and ip6 tabs. by default its dhcp (dynamic ip assignment from router). you cant change what it issues to you without altering config on router. you can choose static though [15:05] love_: what does appear in your notifications (phone) when you plug it? [15:07] If I go to settings, under erase USB storage it says MTP or PTP function active, under the other one it says insert USB to mount, but its grayed out, they both are. [15:08] Nothing initially pops up on the phone without my looking for it. [15:08] It never did though, when it was working properly [15:09] having a problem [15:10] i need to reinstall udev package, but it fails because initramfs command is not available [15:10] so i try to install initramfs-tools, and it fails because udev is not installed..... [15:10] I'm downloading 16.04, this production machine I heavily rely on needs a boost. [15:10] In stability [15:10] so i try to install udev, and it fails because initramfs command is not available [15:11] love_, install 16.04 will NOT give you stability. It's not even in BETA yet! [15:11] Lol cfhowlett sorry I had to troll that. I'm a web developer, all my reliability needs are dependent on external storage. [15:11] 16.04 alfa2 in a few days [15:12] Alpha2, kewl. [15:12] admittingly my bud boniked up his box pretty bad, he tried to install systemd, and when that didn't work, he chrooted back into it and tried to upgrade 14.04 LTS to development 14.10 [15:12] love_, you know what they say about a joke you have to explain? "It wasn't funny." [15:12] It's not a joke, it was a troll comment. [15:12] :) [15:12] love_, did you unlock the nexus5 before connecting? [15:13] Unlock the n5? You mean like from the lock screen? If so yes. [15:13] so we can only get into the box via chroot now, but, any way i can just reinstall the base system? ideally i would just keep all my config files [15:13] love_, no he means ROOT the nexus 5 [15:13] oke, then i have no clue [15:13] Yes did that too, cyanogen. [15:14] For some reason it needed google crap from lollipop, so I have 6.x cyanogen and 5.x google crap. But it works fine. [15:16] love_: you mean 5.1 gaps? And you're using cm13? That can't be good [15:16] xangua, it's a 12.1 snapshot, and yah that's what I mean. It really does work fine. [15:17] Hello [15:17] I setup ldap(libnss-ldap) + kerbos [15:17] I gave users access to server based on AD [15:17] Now, my samba users can only join if they are accessibly by ssh/ldap - what can I do to give them access based on AD? [15:19] love_: what Ubuntu release is this? Also cm12 is Android 5 [15:24] how can accept special port from multiple ip addreses ... 192.168.1.1 10.1.1.1 127.0.0.10 ... not rage ip [15:24] using ufw [15:35] anyone know why i can't install initramfs-tools? [15:35] it wants to intsall 0.103ubuntu4.2 instead [15:36] !info initramfs-tools trusty [15:36] initramfs-tools (source: initramfs-tools): tools for generating an initramfs. In component main, is required. Version 0.103ubuntu4.2 (trusty), package size 43 kB, installed size 365 kB [15:38] pretty sure the issue is with a failed lts to 14.10 upgrade attempt [15:38] Bleakwise, 14.10 is dead [15:38] Bleakwise, you "upgraded" to a non-supported OS ... [15:39] does LTS upgrade to 15.10 direcly? [15:39] no [15:39] Bleakwise, in theory it should jump it and upgrade to 15.04 [15:39] Bleakwise: no [15:39] 14.04 > 14.10 > 15.04 > 15.10 [15:40] cfhowlett that was what i thought, the person was using the do-release-upgrade -d method, of changing the config from lts to "normal" [15:40] !EOLUpgrade [15:40] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [15:41] LOL, second time no response :) [15:41] Thanks anyway ^^ [15:41] Bleakwise: the -d option is just plain stupid, but spread all over the internet because people dont know what it does [15:41] it failed, so i think that probably has something to do with the issue [15:41] oh no doubt the system was abused [15:42] Bleakwise, more like broke and busted. [15:42] yeah, no idea why you'd do -d, normally I -m but that may be placebo [15:42] what doesn "lsb_release -d" tell and what target is in sources.list? [15:42] *targetrelease [15:43] -d is for the next devel release and for LTS some think the upgrade will go to 16.04 [15:43] should i try do-release-upgrade after setting it back to LTS? i mean at this point i'm just looking for a quick way to drop anything not from the trusty repo, and replace any packages not from trusty with trusty [15:44] Bleakwise: where does it link now? the sources.list? [15:44] the repos all point to trusty [15:44] Bleakwise: and what packages are installed already? if there are already some 14.04+ packages installed there is no real way back [15:45] Bleakwise, you cannot downgrade [15:45] BluesKayj: is that right? -d goes to 16.04? [15:46] Bleakwise, only if you're on 15.10 [15:46] i see, okay. any way i can see what repo packages are from? dpkg -l | grep ? [15:46] oh, and i don't have direct access to the system atm either =/ [15:47] Bleakwise, cat /etc/issue , uname -r and lsb_release -d [15:47] how do you know all repos lead to trusty then? [15:47] screenshot of the sources.list file [15:47] over skype [15:48] * OerHeks facepalms [15:48] lol [15:48] =/ [15:49] tbh probably going to tell the guy to backup his sql databases and whatever else, scrap the system and reimport [15:50] it's a slack server === ^CJ^ is now known as ^cj^ [15:51] hardly used even, the git repos the only really valuable thing, and thankfully that's super easy to solve, we can boot up ssh via a chroot env [15:51] even if not it would just be a matter of copying the directory [15:52] Bleakwise, he can do a clean install to a wnated OS if he has separate / nd /home partitions by installing to / and setting the mountpoint of the /home in ubiquity manual partitioning [15:53] but most users don't take the trouble to set up separate / and /home partitions [15:53] Hi [15:54] What's the proper way to run a script only on the very first boot of a server? [15:54] seperate home partitions and exclusive use of something like cgroups in /home directories would be sweet, any better ideas? [15:54] like, docker [15:54] !server | Wulf [15:54] Wulf: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI.

[15:58] aaaaaagh pulseaudio [15:58] Bleakwise: depends when it failed [15:58] either sc2 crashes or skype crashes [15:58] nothing would be installed [15:58] fiddle with variables in pulse.conf, no luck [15:59] k1l: got ya [15:59] Bleakwise: thats why i asked what lsb_release -d and sources.list shows. [15:59] ahh right on [15:59] shows before someone changed it again [15:59] can anybody recommend a good usb stick to run ubuntu off? [15:59] will lsb_release work in a chroot env? [15:59] Bleakwise: yes [16:00] ubuntu662: anyone will work [16:00] any usb stick that will hold a bootable OS, ubuntu662 [16:00] ubuntu662: anyone that is 2gb or lager [16:00] *larger [16:00] lsbrelease reads out Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS [16:01] Bleakwise: so the upgrade failed/was stoppen before packages were changed? did you change the sources.list file?

[16:03] va apt-get [16:03] just select the kernel from grub [16:03] you don't need to touch apt-get or anything like that [16:04] Bleakwise, which kernel are you using ? uname -r [16:11] think i found the problem [16:12] a systemd ppa installed in sources.list.d [16:12] A problem at least [16:12] going to remove that and apt-get upgrade and apt-get update [16:12] only if its filename ends with .list [16:12] and purge that ppa, and it does [16:12] How safe is it to upgrade from 15.10 to 16.04? [16:13] HamRadio: 93.85% [16:13] Bleakwise: seems like a bad idea [16:13] HamRadio, upgrade from a supported OS to Alpha release? no problem! [16:13] HamRadio: when you need to ask dont use alphas [16:13] as removing systemd won't "fix" a missing init [16:13] Anyone else get a massive update from apt today? [16:13] actually no, going to copy those files back,a nd run ppapurge [16:13] llldino: what does it matter what others get [16:13] Well, I meant once 16.04 becomes stable [16:14] llldino: others will have different systems from you [16:14] !ppapurge | Bleakwise [16:14] Bleakwise: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [16:14] HamRadio, it's stable when it's released in April. Otherwise, consider your system a testing bed [16:14] ikonia, Soem coreutils stuff in there, I was just curious [16:14] HamRadio: when 16.04 is released its fine to upgrade. upgrades are automated tested [16:14] llldino: it can be triggered by other things, though, other peoples systems don't really have any mirror impact to yours [16:15] Cool, thanks! [16:16] ikonia, It does when it involves apt, systemd, passwd, perl amongst others [16:17] llldino: no it doesn't [16:17] Just wondering if there was another bug like they found thursday [16:17] as other people may have different packages involved which will offer more/less than you're seeing [16:17] llldino: you could either state "your" problem/question, or read the changes logs to see what's changed on your system [16:22] that ppa explains the depenedency hell / conflicts, i have my work cleaned out for me cleaning any crap from that ppa out and resolving deps after doing so, thanks for the help [16:25] How can I get a higher resolution than 640x480 in ubuntu in virtualbox?

[16:43] hahaha okay [16:43] :P [16:44] tell me the line command [16:46] Hi all, for those of you who remember my challenge in installing ubuntu on ASUS ux501vw, I was finally able to install it on it, the details could be read at https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/254192/asus-zenbook-linux-install-fails === dreamon_ is now known as dreamon [16:47] hello there. for some reason i can' [16:47] t [16:47] write to usb sticks anymore [16:47] probably the usb stick has worn out / faulty [16:48] if you've done the basic checks [16:48] fsck says the dirty bit is set, then i run fsck -a /dev/xyz and it says the dirty bit has been removed [16:48] and running fsck again tells me the dirty bit is NOT set anymore [16:49] then i safely remove the stick via nautilus and remove it, then put it back in and the dirty bit is set again O_O [16:49] when it's clean and you write to it [16:49] hi [16:50] ikonia: i've tried three different sticks now. also they work on an other laptop running ubuntu aswell. [16:50] that wasn't what I asked [16:50] man purge [16:51] I asked if the stick you're having a problem can be written to after it's cleaned [16:51] !ppapurge | tuxedo [16:51] tuxedo: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [16:51] ah, no [16:51] trying to write directly after fsck -a. didn't work [16:51] with any stick [16:53] hi [16:54] ikonia: do you have any ideas of what i could try :/? [16:57] zeysmo, what filesystem ? vfat ? anyway https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilesystemTroubleshooting [16:59] if i make changes to my system with dconf-editor which file are they being changed>? [16:59] I want to change something fro mthe commandline [16:59] ioria: fat32 [17:00] but ioria: it's not the stick. it happens with all sticks and only on my machine. the same sticks work on an other ubuntu machine [17:01] zeysmo, i think because it's now in the kernel ... [17:01] a bit off topic, what would have the higher write endurance? A 500gb 850 Pro or a 1tb 850 Evo? [17:02] ioria: what's in the kernel? [17:02] i mean, supposing i didn't abuse thne drive and was mindful of write amplification [17:02] zeysmo, the dirty bit [17:03] Is there a way to enumerate service order so I can properly re-order something? I'm an Upstart noob. [17:03] zeysmo, take a look maybe http://serverfault.com/questions/571458/unable-to-resolve-data-corruption-warning-with-fcsk [17:03] ioria: oh, i thought the dirty bit was written on the stick... [17:03] zeysmo, no [17:03] Hi all [17:04] How to add path in cmake file? [17:04] hi :)\ [17:04] hi :) [17:04] Hello :) [17:04] zeysmo, " The dirty bit is set and cleared in the kernel, when mounting and unmounting a device " [17:05] I have downloaded a library i want it to compile with Opencv library path [17:05] so it should work if i just fsck -a it? but it doesn't O_O [17:05] hm [17:05] thanks for the help ioria! that's useful info :) [17:05] zeysmo, the guy did a fsck.vfat -v -a -w /dev/sdaX after (w --write) [17:06] https://github.com/OpenKinect/libfreenect2 this i downloaded but i had changed an example which use opencv lilbrary and api's how to instruct this library to compile with opencv [17:09] So, let's say I have a service that is 'start on starting mountall'. What would the syntax be if I want to have it start *after* cryptdisks (not cryptdisks-udev, as I need the second pass to have completed.) [17:11] Hello everyone. I am having issues with the nouveau display driver on my IdeaPad laptop. It has this NVIDIA Optmus nonsense. I can't seem to get the "nouveau" kernel module loaded at boot. So sddm fails to show. If I "modprobe nouveau" on a shell and restart sddm, everything is fine. I have put nouveau in /etc/modules. [17:11] claim: Nouveau is buggy and probably not what you want to Optimus. [17:11] ioria: -______- is it possible that nautilus caches the dirtybit? [17:12] or the write protection [17:12] zeysmo, sorry, idk [17:12] claim: There are packages for you. bumblebee is probably what you want. [17:12] i killed nautilus now it works [17:12] GRML [17:12] or bumblebee-nvidia [17:12] :) thanks [17:12] ChibaPet, I have ended up with using nouveau because I can't get the nvidia binary driver to work properly. [17:13] claim: Did you try the straight driver or the Optimus-specific stuff? Caveat: I don't have Optimus, so I've only watched people struggling with it from afar. [17:13] zeysmo, happy to hear that [17:13] Ooh, and as for my answer, I see there's a "start on started" syntax which looks right. [17:14] ChibaPet, OK, I'll try bumblebee [17:14] hi guys. wanted to know if any of you have any experience is mpg123 / want to stream radio to my terminal, got the program but don't seem to get the syntax right to get it going [17:15] claim: I think there are some docs online. Half a sec and I'll look. [17:15] claim: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee [17:16] claim: Note that they mention a #bumblebee channel, although there's never any way to predict how alive these things are. [17:16] Heya, has anybody ever encountered "Kernel Panic - Not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task"? [17:16] bbiab, trying my new boot muckery [17:17] that bumblebee factoid is old, current is nvidia-prime [17:17] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HybridGraphics [17:18] hello [17:19] does reboot gracefully shutdown applications? [17:19] and pkill appname is equal to kill -s 15 pid? I mean, pkill appname gracefully kills the app? [17:20] reboot shutdown apps, but does not save your work, and pkill is equal to kill [17:22] OerHeks, well, it does not save work, but does it allow the apps to close gracefully, without corrupting the internal data they use? [17:22] the data for their own use? [17:22] and pkill is like kill -s 9 or 15? [17:23] 15 is sigterm [17:23] well, try it yourself, if you don't believe my answer. [17:23] 9 is sigkill [17:24] OerHeks, I am trying to understand better, it's not that I don't believe you. What I am trying to figure out, does reboot allow apps to close gracefully, even though they won't save my data? [17:25] OerHeks: Ah, thanks for the correction. claim: didn't see you pipe up, so I'm highlighting you in case you didn't see it. [17:25] ChibaPet, OerHeks thanks guys. Still working on it. Trying nvidia-prime now. [17:25] What's the best way to set up /etc/X11/xorg.conf with this setup? nvidia-settings? [17:26] hello [17:26] claim: nvidia-xconfig perhaps? [17:26] I'm not sure how prime/bumblebee-aware it is. [17:28] thanks === dominique is now known as Guest45330 [17:31] I was told iptables-peristent is in the default ubuntu repository its not there where is it or has it been renamed?

[17:36] Zeljko, the developmentcrew can tell, sounds like a not-stable version [17:36] OerHeks what version you mean ? [17:36] ubuntu ? [17:37] i don't know where you get that dev version, we support stable versions only. [17:37] OerHeks : from ubuntu.com [17:37] 15.04 [17:37] and steam from developer center [17:37] How can I permanently set my right screen to be my primary monitor. Every so often it seems to reset and make my left monitor the primary (meaning when I start full screen games in steam it pops up on my left monitor) [17:38] Hi! I have made a folder in Home. How do i add it in the left pane under Places ? Drag and drop doesn't work [17:39] derpititusus: does it need to be under places? You should be able to drag it under bookmarks [17:39] Zeljko, so from the steam site, you better ask in #steam-devel, #streamlug or #ubuntu-steam [17:40] I don't have bookmarks listed [17:40] derpititusus: hmm, not even in the menu bar? [17:40] I only have Places, Devices, Network [17:41] derpititusus, ctrl + D, if you are in that folder [17:41] OerHeks: ah, nice [17:42] OerHeks: nope [17:42] i would expect dragging would work too, but that is not available (anymore) [17:42] derpititusus: what version of ubuntu?

Is it possible to upgrade without having to completely restart? [18:21] It's 2015 [18:21] I'm a new Ubuntu user, so this is all new to me [18:21] Remind: you'll need to reboot, but your files won't get deleted.

After you switch the device to install driver what do you do? [18:41] is it possible that Ubuntu is updating software without my permission, or is it swapping memory to disk because I'm tabbing between a game and a web browser? [18:41] I can't tell if it changes, but on the main menu of the game the system monitor reports 86% memory usage. [18:42] It's bad because my HD light goes on solid for like 3+ minutes and my game freezes along with everything else. [18:43] Just investigate the reason, looking at top, free -m, and iotop.

[19:06] ynix, i head it... but not tried [19:06] *heard [19:08] Bashing-om: https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/aFeV5JrH/ [19:08] fuze: Look'n . [19:11] Is there a way to get the global menu up top to stay visible (instead of disappear when the mouse isn't over it)? I'm looking in settings and unity tweak tool and I can't find an option anywhere. [19:11] fuze: What returns ' grep Prompt= /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades ' ? [19:12] Bashing-om: Prompt=normal [19:12] more googling - how do I find out if I have the right soundcard drivers? [19:12] Probably a dumb question, but how can I tell exactly which graphics driver is loaded? [19:13] looks like my question :) [19:13] hook: Yeah, I noticed right after I hit enter ;-) No sound? [19:14] fuze: Strange indeed, That was my last thought on why release-upgrade is balking . [19:14] I hate to ask this… but what does this one-liner do? “echo "resolvconf resolvconf/linkify-resolvconf boolean false" | debconf-set-selections” [19:14] my mic shows it's picking up something, I just can't pipe it to the sound [19:14] alsamixer and gnome-alsamixer didn't help much [19:14] what'd it show in alsamixer? [19:15] krabbe: that's a debian package configuration option for the 'resolvconf' package [19:15] I selected the soundcard, f6 [19:15] chose usb webcam 2.0 [19:16] "this sound device does not have any playback controls" [19:16] hook: Are you able to record it? "piping" is usually called "loopback" and requires some custom configuration to do it [19:16] hook: if a program like 'audacious' can record the input correctly then the microphone is working fine. [19:16] ynix77, install dconf-editor > Dconf-Editor (com > canonical > unity > always-show-menus) http://www.webupd8.org/2014/12/unity-to-probably-get-option-to-always.html [19:16] I'm a bit new to ubuntu so I don't know the official terminology, but I can see my mic level rising in the standard volume controls [19:16] I just can't hear it - and probably for good reason to, to avoid feedback [19:17] ynix77, this tip does not work btw http://askubuntu.com/questions/541449/how-do-i-always-show-menu-items-in-unity [19:17] unsure if it records - is there a command to do a quick recording? [19:17] OerHeks, Cool, thanks! [19:17] I'll google [19:17] hook: google arecord [19:18] apt-get'd :) [19:18] hook: Oh.. try: arecord test.wav [19:18] oh, already had it [19:18] TJ-: thanks. Those were some pointers. [19:19] hook: I think it's part of alsa-utils. I feel like I've seen it in a tutorial somewhere [19:20] hook: I helped another user setup loopback+monitor (for Skype) recently. We worked from the answer here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/257992/how-can-i-use-pulseaudio-virtual-audio-streams-to-play-music-over-skype#258369 [19:21] With 16.04, does anything get *weird* with X? Say I wanted to use the mini.iso and install a command-line system. Could I still get a minimal X environment (and say, openbox) the same way? [19:21] sturgbot: it stays on x.org [19:22] arecord and aplay worked great, I could hear myself [19:22] hallo [19:22] wo bin ich hier [19:23] !de | steffen-ubuntu [19:23] steffen-ubuntu: In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

[19:28] how I can kill all sendmail processes on my server? When I do a ps- aux | grep sendmail i See : /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i and I want to kill all of them, I tried pkill sendmail and pkill /usr/sbin/sendmail and it didn't work [19:29] docmur, have you tried "killall sendmail"? [19:29] sudo service sendmail stop [19:29] docmur: what service do they belong to? "dpkg -S $(readlink -e /usr/sbin/sendmail)" might help identify the owning package [19:29] killing it, will restart the deamon i guess [19:30] postfix has a replacement for sendmail so it can depend on where the symlink points to as to which service owns the process [19:31] sendmail-bin /usr/lib/sm.bin/sendmail [19:32] fuze: I see a common cause as proprietary driver/Xorg stack . Also have a look : http://askubuntu.com/questions/541246/unable-to-upgrade-from-14-04-to-14-10-cannot-calculate-upgrades . [19:34] docmur: so you can figure out the service controller for that with "dpkg -L sendmail-bin | grep init" === MiningMarsh is now known as Guest60659 [19:37] HELL YES [19:37] https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/iNLZBxDL/ [19:37] Bashing-om: ^ [19:38] TJ, wishing I hadn't gone with the first code snippet on that link [19:38] fuze: Look'n at your https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/iNLZBxDL/ .

[19:53] I can, but I only want to get the files that I need [19:53] AlexPortable with a separate /home partition, your personal files and settings are safe, if you have to reinstall or fresh install ubuntu ... your desktop/wallpaper stays the same etc [19:54] Oh I remember why I didn't do that, I can't make more than x partitions [19:54] windows and recovery partition take some space too [19:54] fuze: look'n at your http://pastebin.com/gacWmhYr .

[20:11] One second joining in another computer, on a phone right now [20:11] this is off-channel-topic, sorry guys - I'll endeavour to hunt down [20:11] hook: as an example, yes.

After I reboot, my clients cannot dive into the shares deeper then share name. I have to term in and run exportfs -a.

[20:40] user23456789: privacytools.io [20:40] Remind_: try to install it. we need to get to know why thats not installed [20:40] Remind_: "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-session" [20:40] Remind, it's correct for vivid [20:40] what do you mean "security"? [20:40] k1l_: http://termbin.com/yqk9 [20:40] Remind_: try Xubuntu :) [20:40] So it secure for normal usage, like social media, bank account [20:40] yes [20:40] security [20:40] Remind, but not installed :þ [20:40] yep [20:40] Remind_: we need to find the end of the line: "sudo apt-get install unity-settings-daemon" [20:41] k1l_: E: Unable to locate package unity-settings [20:42] If I make changes to gnome-control panel where is that stored? [20:42] I have installed Ubuntu 15.10 on a Samsung ultrabook 5. (With LVM on Luks). After a restart I'm in the grub console. Wanted to chroot in and fix it, but can't open bios and it doesn't recognize my usb stick (from which I installed ubuntu) in the boot menu. [20:42] Any way to boot lvm on luks from the grub command line? [20:42] Security tools, that avoid getting hacked in any manner [20:42] Remind_: -demon at the end of package name [20:42] I just install the firewall [20:42] user23456789: Desktop and non-Windows ? Then 'buntu is secure out of the box . No user intervention is required . Server open to the world or interchanging files with Windows' is a different matter . [20:42] and nothign more [20:42] what more do you suggest? [20:43] Remind, again, please sudo apt-get install unity-settings-daemon [20:43] user23456789: the strategy is to not load code from any websites. ubuntu fixes known security issues in their softtware repo [20:43] So you say that Ubuntu itself dont need any additional program for being secure? [20:43] k1l_: http://termbin.com/ixug === alpha is now known as Guest21301 [20:43] !info clamav [20:43] clamav (source: clamav): anti-virus utility for Unix - command-line interface. In component main, is optional.

[20:44] firewall and updates & sensible use of the internet [20:44] ioria: http://termbin.com/15qt [20:44] Perfect, how can I know that the update that I have etc are coming from real Ubuntu Servers? [20:44] good ? [20:44] Remind_: conflict packages [20:44] Remind_: sudo apt-get install unity [20:44] yum/dnf easy conflict resolve [20:45] k1l_: http://termbin.com/yqvk [20:45] user23456789: the hashes of the packages are checked [20:45] user23456789, the repo keys are your safety [20:45] are checked automatically? [20:45] i'm tryingout ubuntu and dubain any sudgestions [20:45] somehow it still wants to install a 14.04 unity package [20:46] user23456789: All are "signed" do: ' sudo apt-key finger ' to see all the signing keys . [20:46] user23456789: yes [20:46] I dont have to do anything?; the thing is that the other day a friend of mine told me "dude Linux OS is the most exploited and hacked OS in the market" and I said I he was obviously wrong [20:46] Remind, it wants to install trusty packages versions ... [20:46] just wanted to confirm with people that really know about the matter [20:47] Is there anything I can do to fix it? [20:47] hiya people :) tiny question about cron jobs i've always wondered but never enough to properly check : when several cron jobs exist with the same time constraints in the crontab for a given user, are they run consecutively or concurrently ? [20:47] And guys, thank you very much for trying to help me [20:47] user23456789: most hacked linux machines are servers run by beginners having too easy passwords getting bruteforced. [20:47] Remind_ if no other solution purge the DE [20:48] How would I do that? [20:48] user23456789: but that is still not much against hacked windows [20:48] Yes I though that something like that was the only like possibility where the things he told me really applied [20:48] user23456789: I have run 'buntu for many years . Out of the box and have never experienced an issue . Our peeps are real quick to jump on and correct any security issues . [20:48] And where would that leave me? Would i lose my files? [20:48] (and now i do wonder enough to properly check, cumulative time could be longer than the time spacing) [20:48] what do yo mean that "is still not much against hacked windows"? [20:48] user23456789: was your friend this guy? LOL https://img687.imageshack.us/img687/6033/geeksquadgusphotou11.jpg [20:49] Remind_ your console is working.... suggest to backup your files [20:49] LOL jajajaja [20:49] no no [20:49] ioria: Would it save my documents/videos/music? [20:49] but he is similar lol jajaja [20:49] Remind_ sure, have you tried openbox ? [20:49] Remind_: check for trusty repos still enabled: "grep trusty /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*" [20:49] user23456789: the most hacked machines are windows since its the most marketshare. [20:49] I haven't, only Ubuntu [20:50] Remind_ sure, sorry [20:50] user23456789, question your friends numbers [20:50] Remind_: I think this is some kind of bug, the update manager shouldn't have suggest you to skip releases in the first place...I've seen problems like this posted since December 30 [20:51] TJ-: http://termbin.com/6cdp [20:51] xangua: Oh :( [20:51] Remind_: just start over bro. with 15.10 or whatever disto you like. this install is only 1 day old, no need to salvage it :P [20:52] Tommii, he needs his data, so just reinstall is now not an option [20:52] !virus | user23456789 [20:52] user23456789: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to Windows computers (perhaps using Samba). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [20:52] Tommii: What can I do to prevent this though? It's got me worried with only having one computer and one OS. Kind of nervous using Ubuntu with this problem happening my second day into it [20:52] Remind_: but somehow this doesn't appear the attention it should have... [20:52] ioria: what is the difference between openbox and LXDE+openbox? [20:52] Remind_: that looks fine, what does "apt-cache policy unity" report? [20:52] Remind_ i thinks it comes with it [20:52] Hey Can someone help me out with a problem I am having ? [20:53] Tommii, i thinks it comes with it [20:53] OerHeks: he can back up his data, obvi [20:53] Perfect [20:53] TJ-: http://termbin.com/8ly0 [20:53] why does the "Software Updater" always "Failed to download repository information"? [20:53] nebula_: Ask and see . [20:53] So guys do you know why Dota2 (Valve-Steam) is having fps lag now a days? [20:53] welp, i simply tried with two sleep 5 ; date >> ~/date.tmp, and it appears to be concurrent :) yay \o/ [20:53] Again, just want to say it again since other people have pitched in to help. Thank you guys so much for helping me out [20:53] using it on Ubuntu? [20:54] LonelyDanbo, show us some log, maybe you added a PPA without packages for your version [20:54] Remind_ always the trusty one [20:54] OerHeks, I don't know how to do that. [20:54] LonelyDanbo, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade # and past it on paste.ubuntu.com [20:55] I broke my Wine game and now I'm trying to fix it. I hope I don't break it more. This is always such an ordeal. [20:55] I have the MayFlash controller adapter for WiiU and PC when I try to plug in my gamecube controller it acts as a mouse and I can't set it to be used as a controller in the emulator visual boy advance how can I get it to start working as a controller instead of a mouse [20:55] I broke it by updating. I don't even know how I managed to update with this error happening. [20:55] Remind_ i'm suggesting you , after backup, to purge ubuntu-desktop and autoremove [20:56] ioria: How would I back up right now, in the terminal? [20:56] ioria: what distro do you use? [20:56] Ubuntu [20:56] Tommii, lts 14.04.3 [20:56] ioria: DE? [20:56] oh... I'm using Ubuntu 15.04 and 15.10 is available... I wonder if upgrading will cause more problems. I bet it will. updating always causes problems. [20:56] Tommii, unity and lxde [20:57] Remind_ insert a usb and cp the files [20:57] Remind_: So, the upgrade went from 14.04 > 15.04, and now unity (14.04) is still installed, but the package-manager only knows about the 15.04 version. Do you get any better result from "sudo apt-get install unity libunity-core-6.0-9" [20:57] Remind_: oh you only have terminal now? if you dont like terminal, its easy to boot from a LIVE CD, and backup files that way.... Then NUKE ur system and start over, brother :) [20:57] ... do I upgrade or do I run that command? [20:58] Remind_: try adding "--reinstall" before the "install" command there, too [20:58] Remind_ yeah, in live you have to mount your partitions [20:58] I have this error " E: Failed to fetch http::///iq.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/u/usbmount_0.0.22_all. deb 404 not found " [20:58] Remind_: Nuke it from outer-space :P [20:58] TJ-: I added --reinstall, http://termbin.com/0msv [20:59] omg [20:59] Tommii: Tempted to, lol [20:59] LonelyDanbo: you haven't even told us how you "broke" wine, but indeed 14.04 support will end in one or two weeks [20:59] Remind_: that is suggesting the archive lists are out of date. "sudo apt-get update" then retry the command [21:00] I broke wine by updating through "Software Updater". It updated Wine, and then my game stopped being able to launch. [21:00] xangua: what? Wine doesnt support 14.04? you sure? [21:00] Tommii: 15.04 I mean, phone keyboard [21:01] hi! [21:01] just downloades lubunty [21:01] downloaded lubuntu [21:01] LonelyDanbo: did you add a PPA for wine? [21:01] please anyone can help me .. i have problems in installing packages [21:01] oula: "sudo apt-get update" [21:01] I had a PPA for Wine before. but it always gives that error. [21:01] oula: what Ubuntu release are you using? [21:01] Remind_: Welcome to Linux Day #2. (◔ ‿ ◔)o自*clink*自o(◔ ‿ ◔)♫♪ [21:02] I installed xubuntu 14.04lts last night, I got graphics and java working, but my wifi is acting up. It randomly drops the network I [21:02] how do i update Firefox and install new themes on lubuntu?? [21:02] 'm connected to, and I have to disable and reenable wifi to be able to see it and reconnect [21:03] Sometimes after it drops the connection, it hides all the wifi networks. [21:03] ????? [21:03] Oskar: latest Firefox in Ubuntu is Firefox 43 [21:04] Oskar: `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade` will update everything on your system. [21:04] i have LUBUNTU [21:04] oula, if you use your web browser to log on to http://iq.archive.ubuntu.com/ you will see there is nothing there. might want to change your server [21:05] Oskar, the same [21:05] TJ- it does not work [21:05] damnit. the update is removing kdenlive again. I wonder if this time it will remove the working folder and if I need to back it up. [21:05] Oskar: Ubuntu, as well as (k/x/l)ubuntu all share the same set of repos [21:05] ah [21:06] do you recommend updating firefox on lubuntu? [21:06] Oskar, yes [21:06] Hi :) [21:06] TJ-: Same error after running update [21:06] Keeping the current version of most programs is advisable [21:06] thank you [21:06] TJ-: Am I doomed? :S [21:06] please anyone can help me .. i have problems in installing packages [21:06] rather than letting it get out of date [21:06] Remind_, backup, please [21:06] and how do i do system update when new lubuntu version is released [21:07] oula_: what Ubuntu release are you using? What's the command output? Please user a paste site [21:07] can you help me i wana to make an iso cope of the running os [21:07] but he is similar lol jajaja [21:07] I'm going to close all programs while it updates. :( [21:07] Remind_, your usb will mount on /media/user/something , just copy (cp) your files in there [21:07] Remind_: Nuke, Please. [21:08] Haha, fine you win [21:08] SoI'm downloading 15.10, think I'll be safe? [21:09] xangua , i am installing usbmount , E : failed to fetche http:///iq.archieve.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe [21:09] Remind_: try a bunch and decide, before you install [21:09] LonelyDanbo: again, you've barely give us any info about your problem, besides wine "broke" [21:09] Remind_: no, but it might be involved to fix. I'd force-remove unity so the old version is gone. "sudo apt-get purge unity libunity-core-6.0-9" (which should allow other 14.04 bits to be removed with "sudo apt-get autoremove" and then - possibly - allow clean install with "sudo apt-get install unity" [21:09] I'm sure things were much more difficult when you all started, but man this is stressful for a new user [21:10] @hmm maybe you select the worng server [21:10] Remind_: to make sure you know what you like, try different distros & DE's [21:10] oula_, oula, if you use your web browser to log on to http://iq.archive.ubuntu.com/ you will see there is nothing there. might want to change your server [21:10] Remind_, i know, i know :þ [21:10] ! Paste | oula_: again, what Ubuntu release are you using? Can you show us the output of: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [21:10] oula_: again, what Ubuntu release are you using? Can you show us the output of: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade: 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. [21:10] oula_: if the archive mirror you're using is reporting HTTP 404 error (file not found) for a package, after you've updated the archive lists, then something is broken on that mirror server. You'd need to change the mirror the PC is using. [21:12] guys i wana to make a copy of running os with all apps can you guid me? [21:14] oula_: you can change the default archive servers with "sudo sed -i 's/iq\.//' /etc/apt/sources.list" then redo the lists with "sudo apt-get update" then you should be OK again [21:14] Any idea what's causing my wifi wonkiness- the connect randomly dropping, and me being unable to connect until I disable and renable wifi? [21:15] JackTheShark: just the same set of packages, or packages + system configuration, or packages + system configuration + user's files ? [21:15] It only seems to drop when the connection is realtivelty idle (just irc going over it), but that could be dumb luck [21:16] Wayward_Vagabond: depends on the wifi chipset, and driver. Check log files for clues. For hardware/driver issues check /var/log/kern.log. For connection/WPA issues check /var/log/syslog [21:16] Wayward_Vagabond: that could be due to a power management issue where the interface is put into power-save mode and doesn't come out. There are known issues and power-save can be disabled. [21:16] packages & system configuration & user files [21:17] Wayward_Vagabond: what's the 'name' of the wifi interface? === Blaster is now known as Guest47458 [21:18] Hmm, I see something that looks relevant in kern.log, uploading to a pastebin [21:18] TJ-: Okay, so I did a force remove, the purge didn't do anything, auto remove did some work, and it installed unity. I did another update/upgrade and it didn't give me the errors like before [21:18] xangua , what do you mean by release ? .. i am using ubuntu server 14.04 .. when using update && upgrade , i have the same error of not fetching the http:///iq.ubuntu.com/ubuntu [21:18] Wayward_Vagabond: "sudo iwconfig power off" will disable power-management ( will likely be "wlan0") [21:18] TJ-: So I tried startx and it brought me to my Desktop, no menu or anything yet, but hey that's a lot more than before [21:18] Remind_: That's looking promising! [21:19] http://pastebin.com/4eNqxfKf [21:19] This is the tail end of kern.log [21:19] ubuntu , i am using ubuntu server 14.04 .. when using update && upgrade , i have the same error of not fetching the http:///iq.ubuntu.com/ubuntu [21:19] Remind_: you shouldn't use startx. Use "sudo systemctl start lightdm.service" (SystemD init) or "sudo service lightdm start" (Upstart) [21:19] oula_: did you try to change the mirror? Use the main mirror perhaps? [21:20] xangua , how do i do this ? [21:20] oula_: you've changed the sources.list incorrectly; it should be http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu [21:21] "Error for wireless request "Set Power Management" (8B2C) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported." [21:21] Wayward_Vagabond: OK, so apparently not that! That's the first easy fix out the window :) [21:22] Wayward_Vagabond: when it is active, what does "iwconfig wlan0" report (any retries/Invalids) ? [21:23] oula_: open the software centre, go to the edit menu, sources...a new window opens and in the very first tab you can change the mirrors. [21:23] Wayward_Vagabond: if you do "modinfo -F parm rtl8192ce" (that's the kernel driver) you might see a couple of power-control settings (swlps and fwlps) - is that correct? === jamie13 is now known as jamie12 [21:23] i can't seem to get the track list from any of the ipad songs rhytmbox only list 11 songs and amarok lists with no metadata this is what it looks like --- still can not get it to go id3 thing we talked about ---- http://ibin.co/2UbMHHE1gSjA [21:24] TJ-: Just an update, I had to restart because nothing was happened. The login screen still shows up, I was able to login! My menu doesn't show up, my wallpaper loads. However, the update manager popped up letting me know that 15.10 is available so I'm letting it upgrade to it! [21:24] iw config results http://pastebin.com/f1kFyum4 [21:24] TJ-: I can't thank you enough, I have a good feeling about this [21:25] Remind_: don't break it again too soon :D [21:26] Remind_: upgrade again sounds like a bad idea [21:26] Hmm, that last command had an interesting line. "ips:Set to 0 to not use link power save (default 1) [21:26] " [21:26] Wayward_Vagabond: iwconfig output looks good. I notice the rtl8192ce module also has the "ips" parm, which is also related to link-state power management [21:26] xangua: Well, I was able to back up my files. So now I'm just in it for the ride and to procrastinate finishing my paper [21:26] Wayward_Vagabond: did you see sqlps/fwlps ? [21:27] This has been a stressful second day of linux, haha. I hope it's not like this for me all of the time as I have no other OS lol [21:27] TJ- , i dont know how to write the command to change the archive server .. can you full write it please [21:27] fwlps had a similar line [21:27] 3:23 PM oula_: open the software centre, go to the edit menu, sources...a new window opens and in the very first tab you can change the mirrors. [21:28] fwlps:Set to 1 to use FW control power save (default 1) [21:28] oula_: you can change the default archive servers with "sudo sed -i 's/iq\./archive./' /etc/apt/sources.list" then redo the lists with "sudo apt-get update" [21:28] hello, can someone help me some information about a specific wifi driver from Lenovo Ideapad 100? [21:29] So if I'm understanding, if my connection activity is low enough for long enough, it disconnects me to try and save power? [21:29] Wayward_Vagabond: OK, so 'fwlps' is allowing (by default) the BIOS firmware to set power-state but swlps (by default) doesn't allow software control (as in that "iwconfig wlan0 power off" command), and "ips" is on for default power-save. There's no indication in kern.log of power-saving actions (although there don't need to be) so it might be worth disabling Wireless Networking briefly, then unloading and [21:30] reloading the module with some of those settings changed [21:32] anyone that know googles multiplayer system well? i want a system where you have a title holder and you need to earn your reputation to be able to play him. can this bi implemented on the side of the multiplayer api? [21:32] Um, can you please explain how to do that? Unload/reload the module and change it's settings [21:32] Wayward_Vagabond: once Wireless network is disabled via "nmcli nm wifi off" then unload module with "sudo modprobe -r rtl8192ce" then "sudo modprobe rtl8192ce ips=0" and then "nmcli nm wifi on" [21:32] Ah, thanks [21:32] hello everyone, my usb is shown as unknown. when I last turned off my computer it was connected (I didnt unmount it before turning off)..could this have damaged the file system? [21:32] Wayward_Vagabond: you can repeat that sequence to alter those other 'parm' options in the same way, or use multiple options at the same time by space-separating them on the command line [21:34] TJ, where i can get this driver? http://pastebin.com/TVNfAKgZ [21:35] luvenfu: redo that using "lspci -nn" which gives the [Vendor:Device] IDs [21:37] TJ-: Still updating, it's got a lot of files and I think my connection isn't the best right now. Again, can't thank you enough [21:37] You guys are extremely smart here and I really admire how helpful you all are. As I learn things I hope to be in your shoes; in a position to help other new people. [21:37] TJ-: http://pastebin.com/GmtgPzdi [21:39] TJ- , thank you very much .. done . [21:39] does ubuntu share user's data ? :) [21:39] luvenfu: what does this report: "modprobe --resolve-alias pci:v000010ECd0000B723sv*sd*bc*sc*i* " [21:40] JackTheShark: only when you put it somewhere public [21:40] TJ-: lspci -nn [21:41] TJ-: ah, you mean the pc? === jamie13 is now known as jamie12 [21:41] TJ-: lenovo ideapad 100 [21:41] luvenfu: no, run the command [21:41] luvenfu: what does this report: "modprobe --resolve-alias pci:v000010ECd0000B723sv*sd*bc*sc*i* " [21:41] each time i kill one specific application it restarts at it's own. How can i prevent it from restarting? [21:42] TJ-: i don't know [21:42] luvenfu: that command searches the kernel module aliases to identify which kernel module (driver) claims that device ID ([10EC:B723] which was taken from your "lspci -nn" output [21:43] luvenfu: which driver were you wanting? For some reason I'm assuming you were asking about the WiFi driver [21:43] Had to reboot to get the connection working again [21:43] TJ-: ah, exactly, sorry [21:43] After I ran those commands, it refused to connection [21:44] luvenfu: if that "modprobe --resolve-alias ..." doesn't return the name of the kernel module, then the kernel version on that PC is too old [21:44] Now I suppose I wait to see if it drops out again? [21:44] Wayward_Vagabond: did the 2nd "modprobe ..." (load) command report any errors? [21:45] Given a block device (/dev/nbd0), how can I create a single primary partition with swap type on it, occupying the whole device? Err.. without user interaction, from a script. [21:45] neither had anything to report [21:45] Hi [21:45] Wayward_Vagabond: those options will only work when you load the module manually; they won't be applied at boot-time. [21:45] Trying to install lubuntu [21:45] It keeps coming on as a live session [21:45] Like the test mode [21:45] Wayward_Vagabond: good, so the commands worked and did load the module (*nix commands generally are silent if they succeed) [21:46] oskar: did you leave the installation media connected to the PC? [21:46] Remind_: So, remember, When you are an old-Timer tomorrow, on Linux-Day#3. you can help the newbies stuck on Day#1 :P [21:46] oskar: did you remove the install disk/usb before rebooting? [21:46] No [21:46] We left it in [21:46] Tommii: Haha [21:46] oskar: so the PC will boot from it again [21:46] oskar: well take it out and retry [21:46] Any idea why it wouldn't connect at all after the modprobes? [21:47] Wayward_Vagabond: no; you'd need to check both kern.log and syslog for clues on that [21:47] So install it, then take it out before rebooting? [21:47] oskar: the installer does prompt to remove the installation media before rebooting [21:47] oskar: install, shut down, remove drive, reboot [21:47] TJ-: that's not make sense, it's a 14.04 lts [21:48] Run the two modprobes again, andd se what appears in those two logfiles after? (then save the results and reboot?) [21:48] Wayward_Vagabond: don't reboot! [21:49] Thank you very much [21:49] Wayward_Vagabond: the commands are doing manually what usually happens at boot-time. You're (re)loading the kernel module with non-default options to test whether they help/or not [21:49] I couldn't get it to reconnect after I did that, and I don't have another machine I can irc from :s [21:50] Wayward_Vagabond: OK, so then you repeat the process but don't add any 'parms' when you load the module, so "sudo modprobe rtl8192ce" then "nmcli nm wifi on" [21:50] is there a power shell connector for linux? I'd llike to issue PS commands to a windows box from my Ubuntu server [21:50] I tried doing the whole thing again, but no arguments for the second modprobe [21:51] Wayward_Vagabond: that'll be in the same state as after a boot. You might need to poke it into an immediate radio scan with "sudo iwlist wlan scan" [21:51] Still refused to connect... [21:51] Wayward_Vagabond: the syslog will likely be the most informative at that point [21:51] Wayward_Vagabond reboot you system [21:52] The network was displayed, but the connection dropped before it was finalized [21:52] JackTheShark: This isn't Windows; reboots aren't required [21:52] Wayward_Vagabond: OK, well syslog is the place to look. Network Manager logs there very verbosely [21:52] haha :S [21:53] With 16.04+ we can even live-patch the running kernel without needing a reboot [21:54] hello, is there a linux application where I can search all the pdf in the folder for a particular word(s)? I have used pdfgrep in the past but it can be rather clunky at times. Acroread used to have this capability but it is no longer supported. [21:54] a12345: I think that depends on whether the PDF content is image-only, or text+image === event is now known as Guest52305 [21:55] hey guys, how do I install libreoffice 5 on ubuntu 14.04 LTS? [21:55] please i want to save an ISO in a USB into my ubuntu server [21:55] Try the modprobes, and see what happens in syslog when/if it won't reconnect?

You have been asked to stop doing this already [22:05] TJ-, https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2015-August/msg00064.html <-- that is about as accurate as it gets to describe my issue [22:05] but nobody posted a solution there :) [22:06] No one has been having fps lag in Ubuntu when playing Dota2? [22:07] Naruni: just checked and there are rules for the ovmf UEFI images: "sudo grep -rn ovmf /etc/apparmor.d/*" [22:07] user23456789: perhaps would be better if you tell what your issue is [22:08] Im having serious lag when playing Dota2, "fps lag"; most of the time the game is lag. I have a good internet connection and a descent video card driver. [22:08] I have investigated and know one has been able to give a solution that works [22:08] native or wine?

[22:09] TJ-, i modified that apparmor file, should i restart apparmor or libvirt?

Maybe :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot <-allow booting/installing an .iso directly from the hard drive. [22:13] TJ-, thanks for the help, im gonna try a reboot just to see what happens [22:15] TJ-, that bug you pointed out i'm not sure how to bring that into my install [22:15] i could either modify the repo temporarily and update just libvirt right? [22:15] Naruni: the fix is only in 16.04 for now [22:17] what about ycmd -> https://github.com/Valloric/ycmd can't be installed on ubuntu [22:17] compiled * [22:21] ?? [22:22] TJ-, even using that version of libvirt does not solve the issue [22:22] i've already edited the apparmor profile to allow the use of ovmf files from the edk2.git folder [22:22] JackTheShark: the howto you linked said it can be build. so i dont know what you are asking [22:24] JackTheShark: its in the ubuntu repos since 15.10 [22:27] TJ-, heads up i think i got it working, i had to move my ovmf files into /usr/share/ovmf [22:27] thanks for the help [22:28] but it did't install from the when i clone it & exec the script [22:28] What's a good desktop environment for touch screen laptops [22:28] TJ-: Well, it finished updating.

[22:35] bekks: the autoupdate send message of erro on read packages [22:35] and I am pretty sure libreoffice works the same on ubuntu as it does on elementary [22:36] arimura: autoupdate will not work anymore.

[22:56] hi [22:57] mharvey I only wish for them to show on my main monitor. There is a "Scale for menu and title bars" option under "System settings"-> ScreenDisplay" [22:57] http://askubuntu.com/questions/724079/ubuntu-15-10-freeze [22:57] link to my askubuntu post [22:57] mharvey, if there is a tweak which allows me to scale it down to "0" (zero) then it should achieve it. [22:58] I've not been able to find anyone else with the crash problem during the install, and all other reports of similar crashes have been able to pinpoint a cause [22:58] Hey - Im trying to ssh into my server, but I timeout when I do [22:58] I tried `iptables -F` [22:58] I have found no pattern to the crashes, and they happen before I can even login, or after 45 min of using the OS [22:58] probably ssh server isnt started [22:58] it's started [22:59] penne12: are you logged in via console? [22:59] what does the journal say ? [22:59] via digitalocean's access thing [22:59] wulf you can be logged in .. in the console and via ssh at the same time [22:59] Guest23934: optimus nvidia :D [22:59] pkircher no idea, how can I check? [22:59] 15.10 ? [23:00] OerHeks my windows 10 install on the same machine has no problems at all [23:00] journalctl -u sshd i guess [23:00] So friends have told me it couldn't be a memory problem [23:00] pkircher: "ssh server not started" would not result in timeout. [23:00] penne12: it's a networking issue. Can you ping your server? [23:00] yes [23:00] but... [23:00] penne12: what does "iptables -L -n -v -x" print? [23:00] showaz what do you mean? [23:01] it cant ping me [23:01] When I ping my ip address, it shows "PING XX.XXX.XX.XX (xx.xx.xx.xx) 56(84) bytes of data." [23:01] penne12: can you access the internet from the server? e.g. apt-get install something [23:01] yeah [23:01] Okay so right off the bat Ubuntu 15's giving issues just trying to run the live version. Nouveau spams a ton of errors, finally it says Not all CPUs entered broadcast exception handler, shutting down cpus with NMI, kernel offset: disabled, drama_kms_helper: panic occurred, switching back to text console, then it reboots.

[23:03] Im running it [23:04] question. the xfce power manager has a huge bug in 14.04 in which it ignores the settings. does 15.04 have this problem and has the problem been solved for 16.04 release i n april? [23:04] when i execute a command via an SSH connection which takes some time to run, i see it working while i am in that ssh session. Can i "jump" back into that progress view after i reconnect later again via SSH? [23:05] drale2k: screen [23:05] showaz, im not seeing anything [23:05] Wulf thanks === Smith is now known as Guest76921 [23:06] well, I see the entire tcp dump [23:06] would the nvidia graphics card be causing crashes during install? [23:06] penne12: that means? [23:07] I dont see my ip or anything - I see some .ssh packets, though [23:07] penne12: filter it. tcpdump -n -i eth0 port 22 [23:07] penne12: assuming the interface is called eth0 [23:07] penne12: then try to connect to the server [23:08] penne12: if you don't know how to read it, paste the tcpdump output [23:08] Guest23934: wifi too problem loading (non-free firmware) [23:08] showaz: yeah, a problem with the wifi card too it looks like [23:09] I dont think thats the interface [23:09] Guest23934: non-free ubuntu repository. [23:09] showaz: what do you mean? I need diferent firmware for the wifi card? [23:09] actually, showaz, I think it just started showing some stuff, but not from my ip [23:10] then again, it is on a digitalocean hypervisor [23:10] but its not showing up when I ssh [23:10] penne12: digitalocean!=hypervisor DO=kvm-qemu. [23:10] k1l_: did you give it a look? [23:10] oh [23:11] Just for fun, I pinged my ip address (from the server) - it isn't showing anything [23:12] How do I get SMPlayer to play SPCs? [23:13] bazhang was the last one to help me with a problem like this, when I orignally had a problem compiling an app called playspc-gtk. [23:13] penne12: digitalocean not support new kernel, only stack modded image-kernel. [23:13] ? [23:13] He then introduced me to SMPlayer which had the same support, but I can't figure anything out. [23:13] showaz: Thats totally expected, when running virtual private servers. [23:14] Hello, I am trying to learn how to use Ubuntu Server and I had a question: shouldn't I change root's password? I noticed that when I ran Ubuntu desktop, root came with a default password and I could reset my password through it. Doesn't that mean anyone who accesses my server can reset my password and compromise it? [23:14] !root | MiniFridge [23:14] MiniFridge: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:15] bekks, but how come I could use the default root password last time to reset my user password? [23:15] MiniFridge: There is no default root password. [23:15] The matrix? Deep cut, ubottu! [23:15] MiniFridge: There is no root password, by default. [23:15] strange. Maybe I'm thinking of something else. [23:16] hmmm - I recently att uverse recently redid our internet connection - and now we have a new ip [23:16] might be why I cant ping the old one :P [23:17] Is it necessary to block access to recovery mode? [23:17] MiniFridge: No? [23:17] I must have been thinking about that [23:17] But, you can reset your password in recovery mode [23:17] MiniFridge: Yes. [23:18] so, couldn't anyone who has access to the system change my password and compromise it? [23:18] MiniFridge: But you need access to the console (which your hoster has, always) [23:18] MiniFridge, if you want to be sure, use encrypted home/full disc [23:18] my hoster? [23:18] what's that? [23:18] but I cant ping my new ip, showaz [23:18] live iso can do the same as recovery [23:18] MiniFridge: Digitalocean. [23:18] oh, hahahaha. I read it as "hah-ster" [23:19] my bad [23:19] Right [23:19] question is what are you trying to “protect” .. [23:19] bekks, so no one can get in via SSH that way? [23:20] MiniFridge: No. [23:20] noone is wrong .. > keyauth / 2 factor helps with security [23:20] Alright. So, I don't really have to worry about it? [23:20] but .. noone isnt true [23:20] carry on [23:20] pkircher: Recovery mode does not start ssh by default. [23:20] pkircher: 2 factor not safe, its optional auth [23:21] I doubt my host is going to try to hack my website. [23:21] 2 factor is just an additional part .. > protects somewhat against bruteforce [23:21] MiniFridge: They dont need to hack it, they have full access. [23:21] security come in layers .. and if you got pysical access .. the only thing that somewhat helps is full disk encr. [23:21] pkircher: http://www.sshguard.net/ [23:22] fail2ban does a ok job as well [23:22] fail2ban not C [23:22] alright. so, unless I reconfigure OpenSSH to allow access to recovery mode, there is not really a way for anyone to get into it besides physical access? [23:22] MiniFridge: You would have to reconfigure recovery mode, not ssh. :) [23:22] ##java [23:22] minifridge .. rootkits / viruses [23:22] and so on [23:22] pkircher, of course. [23:22] .. there are plenty vectors [23:22] #java [23:23] noone can actualy say “its safe" [23:23] but you gotta layer your security like an onion [23:23] join ##java [23:23] right, Fail2Ban, passwordless login, etc [23:23] this is a place for people who have barely any konwledge of any linex to ask for help? So, my windows computer blew up, I heard I could use ubuntu to copy files from it (because I was an idiot and didn't back them up), and so I started using this tutorial (http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindowsfstab) to try and fix it. It wouldn't umount, so after some google I threw a -l in there to get that command to work. Now I [23:23] am having problems with "sudo mount -a" in that it gives the error "mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or home/ubuntu/Desktop/windows busy".

Im having to remove i2c_designware_platform and readd it to get it working again. I have a button on my laptop that is supposed to enable and disable the touchpad and it isnt working. I'd like to either fix a script to auto remove and readd the module after repoen the lid or map my key to it. does anyone have any ideas or can maybe help? [23:44] showaz: but both those FOO commands give the same results , yes? [23:47] I upgraded my software using the default Software Updater in Ubuntu 14.04 and 1 piece of software fails to install. How do I fix? [23:47] Tommii: FOO by default output, not used selectable (stderr|stdout). [23:47] ola [23:47] what fails to install?

[23:48] happyfr0gg: can you please give more details, what did you update, what package failed to update, what message/terminal output did you get? [23:48] ok minha primeira vez,,,, [23:48] faxn: see "man 8 pm-suspend" [23:49] showaz: okay, so it includes 'stderr'. got it. so then what is the diff between: |pastebin |nc termbin.com 9999 [23:49] xangua, may I open up a pm with you? [23:49] ! Pm [23:49] Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. [23:49] Guest23934: see this answer: http://askubuntu.com/a/608156/31260 you got that error in your kern.log [23:49] Guest23934: looks like a hardware issue [23:50] thanks k1l_ [23:51] I just installed the .run package from NVIDIA, and I'm getting rainbow colours all over my screen, and I can't click anything, how do I fix this? [23:51] I used Software Updater in Ubuntu Trusty Tahr to update all of my software. They all but 1 updated successfully. ClipGrab failed to install. [23:51] happyfr0gg: https://www.aptly.info/ support snapshot installed .deb package and revert to an earlier version. [23:51] k1l_: do you know what caused the hardware error? Or how I could get through the install process without crashing? [23:52] Guest23934: i thought it was already installed? [23:52] Guest23934: i would start by a memcheck [23:53] I dont have it installed. Is there another way to fix it? @TJ [23:53] Software Updater says: "The installation or removal of a software package failed." [23:54] kil_: uninstalled it again after 3 friends told me to give up, and I'm back. memcheck checks for hardware faults right? [23:54] faxn: pm-suspend is part of pm-utils (which can execute scripts to unload/reload modules on suspend/resume) [23:54] kil_: I"m under the impression this is a incompatibility because my windows works completely fine [23:55] !info mcelog | Guest23934 [23:55] Guest23934: mcelog (source: mcelog): x86 Machine Check Exceptions collector and decoder. In component universe, is optional. Version 104-1 (wily), package size 51 kB, installed size 171 kB (Only available for i386; amd64) [23:55] Oh ok - i found pm-utils, thanks let me try this out for a few moments [23:55] Guest23934: install that package and let it capture and report on what the root cause of the MCE is [23:55] Guest23934: memcheck checks the ram for issues. [23:56] kil_: If the ram had issues wouldn't I experience some problems on my windows OS? [23:56] Ok, i'll try to reinstall [23:56] Guest23934: maybe windows is ok with such errors or can handle that errors better due to better drivers for windows. [23:56] ah [23:57] kil_: I also have a 64 bit processor, x86 checker would be for 32 bit machines right? [23:57] Hey guys [23:57] never mind, says its for amd64 [23:57] Guest23934: mcelog works for 64-bit as well as 32-bit [23:58] Guest23934: you've got an Intel CPU there, not AMD I think, so it should cover it [23:58] what command should i introduce to fat32 format a usb using xubuntu [23:58] right [23:58] Huh, connection still hasn't dropped. [23:58] hi [23:58] any tips for preventing that crash during install? I guess we don't know the error yet [23:58] Maybe it was just a fluke beofre? [23:58] but can I disable certain parts of my machine that could be messing with it?
