[00:00] designbybeck, fwiw, there has been a few rascals in here over the last few days experiencing problems with the "proposed" repo enabled [00:00] shibboleth: and you are again offtopic ranting in here. [00:01] k1l, me previous remarks vis-a-vis slow openssl updates were rants *and* offtopic? [00:01] new to ubuntu [00:02] shibboleth: and you were plain wrong. and i didnt see you coming back and excusing. [00:02] k1l, wrong abou? [00:02] !manual | tjhuntz [00:02] tjhuntz: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [00:02] shibboleth: your accusations. [00:03] ohh i got all that how to install themes from the terminal [00:03] i am trying to install flash but i am getting this error nspluginwrapper:i386 : Depends: libglib2.0-0:i386 (>= 2.35.9) but it is not going to be installed [00:03] hello, hoping someone might be able to assist me with something. I need install a custom kernel due to poor foresight in gpu purchase.. running an AMD tonga GPU and i need to install a kernel phoronix compiled that has the correct switches on. [00:03] usman: how did you try to install? [00:03] shibboleth: but this is leading nowhere. so just stop that attitude if you want to be able to use this support channel. you have been warned enough times now. [00:03] usman: also note that flash is no longer supported in Linux - it was EOL some time ago [00:04] jmadero, i used a script from this website http://howtoelementaryos.org/how-to-install-flash-for-midori-in-elementary-os [00:04] usman: are you running elementary or Ubuntu? [00:05] k1l, I don't realize what I might have done to warrant any resent. My mission was to inform "you" that there was an upcoming, critical update and get the ball rolling [00:05] yes ele.. OS but its based on ubuntu so it should work [00:05] k1l, some months ago I had to file a bug for the package maintainer to realize that there was a need to update :) [00:05] usman: that's not true and this isn't the right chat for you [00:06] usman: you need to get elementary specific support [00:06] usman: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/04/install-adobe-flash-in-ubuntu-14-04-lts/ [00:06] shibboleth: you have a very malicious attitude and just ranted about ubuntu beeing always 2 weeks late. if that is not what you meant then choose your words _a lot_ wiser next time. [00:06] usman: that's how to install it in Ubuntu - if it fails it's because elementary repos don't have the right dependencies [00:07] and as far as Midori browser is concerned....that is an elementary question [00:07] k1l, not what I meant, then. Sorry if I contributed to a different impression [00:07] usman: please see the elementary support for help [00:07] ii will try this but even if it cna work in firefox thats fine too [00:08] k1l, also, I said those updates come over the weekend and not on thursday/friday when upstream and debian updates were made available. Not two weeks :) [00:08] Hi. Can anyone help me with an iptables problem? I have all traffic on a specific interface forwarded to the tun0 interface by this rule "-A FORWARD -i wlan0 -o tun0 -j ACCEPT" however, I have one website I need to have wlan0 using eth0 to access... Any suggestions how to set that up?

[00:08] shibboleth: and that was plain wrong, too. [00:08] hello world === irker754 is now known as irker350 [00:09] * Majora320 says Hello world. [00:09] shibboleth, not on my current ff version. unless there is something I am not aware of [00:09] squinty, i havee that installed as well, i want to get rid of flash i am preparing this mechain for someone else and he needs flash to play videos on some website [00:10] can u help me? im trying to partition my flash drive for ubuntu installation (from ubuntu; the installer isn't working) how should I partition it? [00:11] Majora320: use unetbootin and it'll do it for you [00:11] Majora320: use the ubuntu disk creator [00:11] it dosnt work [00:11] Majora320: or use "dd" [00:11] dd [00:11] k [00:11] ill try [00:11] dd wont' trigger flags for bootable [00:12] good evening [00:12] jmadero: that is wrong. dd works very well with ubuntu hybrid isos [00:12] Hi [00:12] well what i did was partitioned the device as EFI legacy bootable and wrote the ubuntu iso to it [00:12] k1l: interesting, didn't know dd would trigger the bootable flag [00:12] and it didnt work [00:12] Majora320: what command did you put? [00:13] i used the GUI disk partitioner [00:13] Majora320: you dont partition yourself. that should make the usb creator [00:13] Majora320: is the drive mounted? [00:13] yes [00:13] Majora320: for disk partitioning it can't be mounted [00:13] well not while partitioning [00:13] it wasnt [00:14] my bios says a file is missing [00:14] 'vmlinux.bin' or something simlar [00:15] Majora320: please give exact errors [00:15] "or something" is entirely unhelpful [00:15] ok but i dont feel like rebooting now [00:15] to get into my bios [00:16] k1l, clearly I've made assertions vis-a-vis openssl updates which you have found to be false. Am I correct in my understanding? [00:17] is there a 'bios emualtor'? [00:17] Majora320, seabios [00:18] shibboleth: your way of "motivating people to get rolling" is malicious. and your facts were wrong accusations. and the fix you demanded (before the fix was published) was shipped on the same or the next day. so you made a big noise for nothing. [00:18] what site can i get seabios from? === irker350 is now known as harris21 [00:18] oh its a package [00:18] squinty, Yep That fixed it! I had to download those files on my laptop and move them over and install them. Thank You Again! === harris21 is now known as Guest32731 [00:19] I tried putting "iptables -A FORWARD -i wlan0 -d 23.66.192.45 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT [00:19] " and it doesn't give an error but doesn't work.. [00:19] It's causing quite a problem [00:19] designbybeck, great to hear! :-) [00:19] k1l, sorry to have offended you. I was referring to for example 1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.16 which came three days after upstream fixes. I could list the to other to which I was referring, but can we please just "reset"? [00:20] well, four days, but same point [00:20] what are seabios's commands? [00:21] Does the iptable I created not have enough priority to ever execute since the previous iptable is already setup? [00:21] shibboleth: yes. please stick to technical support in here and stop that offtopic and rantings. then everything is fine. [00:21] shibboleth, take this to an offtopic channel [00:22] WHAT COMMANDS DOES SEABIOS USE [00:23] Majora320, thats not an ubuntu issue [00:24] Majora320: dont make own parititions on that usb. let the usb creator handle it or use dd to burn onto the bare usb. [00:28] I actually just created a note iptables-restore file and put those forwards higher up... they are listed first now, but still don't execute. [00:28] does anyone know support IRC channel for elementary OS [00:29] !elementary | usman [00:29] usman: Elementary OS is an Ubuntu derivative which is supported in their IRC channel #elementary on irc.freenode.net - http://elementaryos.org/ for more information on this distribution. === m1dnight1 is now known as m1dnight_ [00:31] thanks to everyone [00:34] very cool === Guest32731 is now known as T03tm [00:37] So which channel has people who can help with iptables?

[00:42] i manually partitioned it and wrote the iso [00:43] Majora320: perhaps you should use something besides isolinux? [00:43] wat do u mean? [00:44] Majora320, unetbootin, just write the iso to the flashdrive with dd, etc [00:44] ok [00:44] ill try that [00:46] Majora320, good info at http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ too === T03tm is now known as norek === shafox is now known as sibok_ [00:46] Can i install unity on ubuntu touch so i can basically have a desktop experience on my tablet [00:47] sudo dd if=ubuntu-15.10-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdc1, right?

[00:51] Majora320, it makes sure that everything has been written, yes [00:52] bit.ly/0000 [00:53] how long will dd take?

[06:47] The issue I'm finding says it uses large amount of CPU, but mine isn't. The HDD use is enough to freeze the game I run in Wine for the 5 or so minutes it does this for. [06:49] maybe someone could just give me advice on what search words to use, since I seem to be eternally retarded.

[09:39] Silenced: how about you tell us what kind of errors you encountered while trying everything? [09:39] Or am I to put some directory here? [09:39] Silenced: after you've installed it, run steam-launcher which will fetch extra packages. That should be all there is to it [09:39] Give me 10 mins . I will shoot you the errors :) [09:40] arlekin: you copied as root. that is not necessary in your users home. [09:40] hateball : Yes it did fetch .

[11:16] Which is a shame because we are considering using Ubuntu servers due to LXD. [11:17] slappymcfry: And whats the problem in using Ubuntu then? [11:17] how can i check my ssh logs ? [11:17] slappymcfry: My knowledge is based on the desktop os, I know nothing of the server os. My insight could be completely off in that regard [11:17] i mean there are not in /var/logs as i would expect [11:17] gabrielAtheos: There is no such things as "desktop OS" or "server OS". [11:18] bekks: lack of documentation, at the moment. maybe I'm just not looking in the right places [11:18] slappymcfry: I assume the latter. [11:18] slappymcfry: as far as the server side of things is concerned, Ubuntu is close enough to debian that you're rarely going to notice any difference [11:18] slappymcfry: PRetty much everything is documented for Ubuntu. [11:18] slappymcfry: help.ubuntu.com and wiki.ubuntu.com [11:18] bekks: which brings me here :) [11:18] !documentation | slappymcfry [11:18] slappymcfry: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com [11:19] slappymcfry: Ubuntu follows the debian conventions, with configuration under /etc, docs in /usr/shar/docs/packagename etc [11:19] *share [11:19] k1l_: Thanks, but as mentioned. Latest documentation is for 14.04. Pre-systemd [11:19] slappymcfry: Latest LTS is 14.04. [11:19] slappymcfry: For a server, thats your best bet. [11:19] slappymcfry: you dont want to use non LTS as server anyway :) [11:19] chaps, I have a home server running on my network that temporarily becomes unreachable. I can't visit any web-services, I can't ssh... any idea where I should be looking to find the root cause of this? I haven't the faintest idea where to start [11:20] bekks: I don't see us migrating our systemd units to upstart [11:20] what logs should I be looking at [11:20] slappymcfry: or do you want to upgrade every 6months? i dont think so [11:20] slappymcfry: which service in particular do you have to migrate? [11:20] slappymcfry: Which service without an existing upstart startup script in particular? [11:21] is there a command to list show the current active keyboard layout, to put with notify-send for a notification upon layout change [11:21] k1l_: We'll probably only switch when 16.04 is released. [11:21] slappymcfry: yes. that makes more sense === bullgard6__ is now known as RandomNonsense2 [11:23] bekks: plenty in-house services. from user-based luks containers to libvirt/lxc sessions. [11:24] so i built ffmpeg and a few dependencies, then installed ffmpeg with checkinstall. i built OBS on top of this. and after several hours i got it to work. [11:24] but i installed VLC with apt-get and it depends on FFMpeg. so it stomps on my custom build. === CedricBeust is now known as eblood [11:25] i tried making isolated build of ffmpeg, then building OBS with that, but failed and i don't feel like screwing with it bc i don't understand why cmake isn't finding my dependency libs in ~/local. [11:25] so, how do i get VLC to not update? [11:27] bekks: k1l_: So before the next LTS, I was hoping to get up to speed over the weekend with Ubuntu's inner workings. The server ISO is already much more minimal than the last time I tried it, so picking it apart isn't hard, just tedious. [11:28] slappymcfry: Which "inner workings"? It's a linux-based userland, just as debian, etc. [11:30] bekks: each distro has its own quirks. I come from a Red Hat and Gentoo background so Debian is strange in many aspects. [11:31] If Ubuntu is closely aligned to Debian, I'm content with Debian's books/resources I have. === root is now known as Guest50464 [11:31] slappymcfry: Most strange thing is the network configuration not being in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ - everything else is almost just the same. [11:32] bekks: I'll keep that in mind, thank you. [11:34] slappymcfry: I've administered Ubuntu hobby servers for years, using the Debian docs, and haven't hit any issues. But my usage is as an amateur: I don't do this for a living. But, if anything, Ubuntu and Debian are getting closer again with the switch to systemd === RandomNonsense2 is now known as Disat3r [11:35] mcphail: That's great to hear. Much appreciated! [11:37] slappymcfry: debianadministration.org has always been a great resource, although it is quite out of date. But is is good for high-level overviews of the way debian (and Ubuntu) work on the server [11:37] in openbox/rc.conf can both shifts execute a command, s-s is interpreted as shift+S, #openbox is invite only [11:39] mcphail: thanks. definitely bookmarked. There are some great articles. [11:43] Hi [11:43] hi [11:44] I want to use a specific kernel version. Where can I specify which one is used by default, even if later versions are installed? [11:45] Hi guys. I've been getting catastrophic problems with my 15.10 install. Every time I right click something, open a window, open a chrome tab, drag and drop something or otherwise create a window, there is like a 1% chance that Xorg gets completely stuck midway in event hell [11:45] I've collected some information at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1540553 [11:45] Launchpad bug 1540553 in xorg (Ubuntu) "task Xorg:1042 blocked for more than 120 seconds in schedule+0x37/0x80" [Undecided,New] [11:47] I've tried not using compiz (gnome 3/cinnamon), going back to an older kernel version (25), going back to upstart, not using redshift, not using external monitors [11:47] sometimes I can work without issue for hours on end, sometimes it's like the last hour where I get hung thrice in a row [11:49] badp: which graphics card/driver are you using?

[11:54] whenever i use sudo i get this message: /var/lib/sudo/ts is group writable [11:58] kuly-zu: that sounds like you messed with your system [11:59] kuly-zu: sudo chmod 0700 /var/lib/sudo [11:59] k1l_, you are scaring me, is it bad? [12:00] kuly-zu: maybe you just tell us what you did? :) [12:02] i wanted to be able to edit /var/www [12:02] so i run these commands [12:02] kuly-zu: that is the totally wrong way. just add your user to the www-data group and you can edit stuff in /var/www [12:02] kuly-zu: Which commands? === Disat3r_ is now known as Brian|D3 [12:03] https://gist.github.com/anonymous/082ada44d4d4a348f53a === cpaelzer is now known as cpaelzer_afk [12:03] i did add a user to www-data [12:04] but when i tried to clone a repo into /var/www [12:04] kuly-zu: And you did much more, like messing up /var/lib/sudo [12:04] it did gives me permission denied [12:04] kuly-zu: So please tell us everything you did. [12:04] kuly-zu: you made everything group writeable on your system, iirc. [12:04] these command are from my history, how did i missed with /var/lib/sudo [12:04] ?? [12:05] k1l_, how? [12:05] kuly-zu: you have been in / when executing the commands, did you? [12:05] no i was in /var [12:05] oh shit [12:05] i see it now [12:06] www is inside /var as well as lib folder [12:06] OMG [12:06] how can i get it back? [12:06] kuly-zu: Restore it from your backup. [12:06] kuly-zu: Or reinstall. [12:07] i don't have a backup, reinstall is not an option [12:07] kuly-zu: Reinstall is your inly option when not having a backup. [12:07] *only [12:07] can anyone send the default permissions for the /var directory [12:08] kuly-zu: you need to fix the permissions for every single file under /var ... [12:08] kuly-zu: those are thousands of files. [12:09] oooo the pain.... [12:09] aren't all have the same permission?

[12:34] C_minus: Bashing-OM game you a link [12:34] *gave [12:34] yeah but for that fix, it suggests backing up first, in case it destroys all your stuff. so i'm in the position of needing to backup before i can backup before i can backup before... [12:35] C_minus: try sudo fixparts on the disk [12:35] you might have stray gpt causing the confusion [12:36] EriC^^ yes i definitely do. but that's the point. to fix it with that gdisk thing, they recommend backing up first. [12:36] i need to remove the GPT table because i boot in legacy mode with MBR [12:36] i think it won't harm [12:37] EriC^^ See the disclaimer in red at the very end http://drbl.org/faq/fine-print.php?path=./2_System/116_unmatched_partition_table.faq [12:38] what package do I need so that I can get gparted to format to exfat? both exfat-tools and exfat-fuse are installed === wahyu is now known as gaptek === slacko4248 is now known as Brian|D3 [12:40] C_minus: they mean if it's gpt and you use that command it'll destroy it, use sudo fixparts it does a check i think [12:41] it'll say it's gpt and just exit, if it sees it's mbr with stray data it'll say it found something that looks like stray data and ask what to do === haxxpop is now known as networking [12:42] Here's my lsblk output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14886802/ .

It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [12:44] with tightVNC unless I tunnel the connection gets refused [12:44] EriC^^ I thought so but I just wanted to be sure. You mean that I'll be OK using that fix because I know I use MBR for sure? [12:44] if you don't need to share a session, use NXDesktop/FreeNX (better performance, more secure since goes through ssh) === reeed_ is now known as reeed [12:45] the client we use to manage all connections doesn't support NX [12:45] C_minus: no, well if you do, yeah, but i said use fixparts cause even if you run it on a gpt it checks stuff for you [12:45] my question is what configuration is limiting the connection to 5901 ?

The laptop's sda is not mounted but the external drive sdc is? [12:48] it has clients for MacOs and Windows [12:48] C_minus: unmount both [12:50] EriC^^ Thanks.

[13:13] i think bs won't affect the error [13:13] BluesKaj to see progress. It's a big copy. [13:13] ok [13:14] bs=1M would be safe as well, but faster [13:14] Thanks EriC^^ and everyone.

Gaming is not a target for virtualization. [15:19] could it be because I've changed default 2.x python to 3.4 [15:20] bekks, its more rather than dual booting run everything you need on xen [15:20] hello, anyone using wily [15:20] not sure how far along they are with win10 though [15:20] bugnuts: "everything you need" as long as it's not AAA gaming. [15:20] bugnuts: that would require the (only) graphics adapter to be passed through to a VM, which I strongly advice against.

I guess they clean up once in a while. [15:29] In the meantime, I'll ask here. Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS, postfix. Gotta change the default suffix for outgoing mail to something that isn't the hostname and matches the host's PTR record. I've set 'myorigin' and 'mydomain' and even 'myhostname' but postfix is still using `hostname -fqdn` and appending that to outgoing mail. What did I forget to do?

[15:51] yeah normal upgrade path [15:51] 14.04 > 15.04 > 15.10 [15:52] Not more like 14.04->14.10->15.04->15.10 ? [15:52] i have to loook for that askubuntu page, but this bugreport https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1534897 [15:52] Launchpad bug 1534374 in ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #1534897 unable to upgrade to 15.04 due to libstdc++6 SRU" [High,Fix committed] [15:53] oh right [15:53] I had 15.10 and my SO didn't work === viceroy_jenkins is now known as last_staff [15:53] there's no user [15:53] after installation [15:56] hello [15:58] hi ciccio === irker348 is now known as irker254 [15:58] Metacono, what do you mean with "no user afer installation" ?? [16:00] OerHeks, just tested my 14.04 --- changed update settings to "next release" and it did indeed begin to upgrade to wily. I halted the process once it changed my sources.list [16:00] that feature seems to have been rather quietly rolled out ... [16:00] il mangiarozzo [16:01] cfhowlett, yes, there should have been an announcement for that :-( [16:01] !it | ciccio [16:01] ciccio: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

[16:06] Metacono: you'll have to reinstall due to that whatever it is [16:06] ubuntu creates the admin user by default. No admin user on reboot? your system is funky === sparklyballs_2 is now known as Sparklyballs_ === last_staff is now known as Velveeta [16:08] is there a list of what architectures are supported for which releases? [16:09] and I couldn't give admin permissions to it [16:09] scuse me for my bad english xD [16:10] teward: Well, we support 32- and 64-bit x86 (including Mac), and a couple of flavours support PowerPC [16:10] and arm ... [16:10] Metacono, without admin user, you cannot give an user admin rights, so you run around in circles. === Gizmosis350k is now known as binarypl1 [16:10] yes [16:11] I think it could be because i used an netinstall [16:11] cfhowlett: Well yes, ARM as well, but that's just for Ubuntu Touch, right? [16:11] S-USA|Phone, yep [16:11] backup your data with live iso, not netinstall iso, and reinstall. [16:11] now I have ubuntu 14.04 [16:11] I installed with the live iso [16:11] installing with netinstall should be fine. ( only wired internet) [16:11] and works perfectly [16:12] cfhowlett: I was particularly talking about Ubuntu desktop :) [16:12] I used wireless :c [16:12] S-USA|Phone: not the question, i'm not asking about flavors, i'm asking about individual releases - precise, trusty, etc. [16:12] i *know* we support the basics ;) [16:12] i need the full list [16:12] i just got my answer from Launchpad, now. [16:13] teward, easy to find https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SupportedArchitectures [16:13] * teward goes back into the shadows [16:13] thanks OerHeks === Myrtti_ is now known as Myrtti [16:14] teward: I don't think you get my point...

I keep finding references to net.core.somaxconn being set to 128 as default, but mine seems to be 3281300 which just doesn't seem right. [16:33] hello? [16:33] Is there something I'm missing? I'm using cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max to check [16:33] Ubuntu still did not fixed this issue. 1) sound settings, how can i setup headphone volume and speaker volume? (my endusers have to go to every time in terminal and type alsamixer and then find where is headphone bar.) [16:33] how do I prevent ubuntu from deleting the apt cache after apt-get install? [16:34] sab: if you want to preserve permissions, you need to run rsnapshot as root. destination has to be a filesystem supporting hardlinks [16:34] I just tried http://askubuntu.com/questions/51567/why-does-var-cache-apt-archives-keep-deleting-files and it doesn't really work [16:34] Doh. Wrong command to check. Ignore me [16:35] Hi, how do I find out the services, that need a restart, after I have upgraded my system? [16:38] when you connect a bluetooth speaker for example it connects and switches to play sound on that device automatically, but it doesn't switch the device in the sound controls so every time you have to go into the sound settings and set the default device. [16:38] who or what is the project to look at for this? [16:39] i imagine the sound controller and the the sound settings manager are different systems [16:39] ? === greenb09_ is now known as Natt01 [16:41] hi, i need help [16:41] goddard: pulseaudio. specifically, you may want to look into pavucontrol, which is PulseAudio Volume Control. You can set default devices there easily.

Some people told me that the encrypted version give some problems and happens that user lose everything. [17:03] users* [17:04] Charly41, you should have a recent backup anyway anytime. [17:04] Charly41, fastest way is to create an new user, add that one to sudoers, and remove the encrypted user. [17:05] and allways backup indeed [17:06] EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14889302 [17:07] so if I try to create a new user ubuntu will ask me if I want the normal home folder or the encrypted one... === wagle_ is now known as wagle [17:09] use adduser, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto === w4t3r is now known as eipi01 [17:11] thanks === CandyMan887 is now known as chris_debian [17:16] hi my friends [17:16] hello, I upgraded to 15.10 and when I go to Ubuntu Dash, it cannot find any applications... any ideas on how to fix this?

All 4 mounts work when I read them but I can only create files on one (others tell "device is busy"). It kinda blows my mind because they are all setup the same. Can someone please help me ? :') [18:14] Bassem: sorry, no. if you are planning a machine to use only for such thing (router/firewall) i would use a distro specialized for that, which would be ipcop, ipfire or others.

[18:18] v0r0nwe, ok what i want to do is allow internet to specific mac address on my network and control it's internet bandwidth,,will ipcop do that [18:18] What's the best way to use ubuntu desktop when there is minimal space availiable? I'm installing it into a 15GB partition [18:18] :/ [18:19] Pipapop, what is your networki NIC /chip? [18:19] VoidWhisperer: 15GB is way enough. [18:19] I lost my network on ubuntu (works on Win7). I managed to get it back but now the wifi only works when the ethernet cable is wired. I can't find any help on google [18:19] v0r0nwe, won't it mean i have to store everything on a cloud server or an external drive? [18:19] BluesKaj: Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205 [Taylor Peak] (rev 34) [18:19] Bassem: don't remember, just checkout the ipcop or ipfire distros. [18:19] BluesKaj: from lspci [18:20] VoidWhisperer: a sorry that's the whole space? ok there are some lightweight desktop environments like lxde (which is Lubuntu, then) but i don't think they give you more than just 1 GB, but i don't really know. [18:20] dnscrypt - i downloaded the resolvers list from github but it's html encoded. is there a true .csv file i can download? [18:21] VoidWhisperer, you could install from mini.iso and install openbox [18:22] VoidWhisperer: why do you have only 15GB? soon or later, regardless of which lightweight (or not) distro, you will need more space anyway if you start use it productively and "really" work with it === Film12 is now known as p0t [18:22] I'm kind of stuck here, tryin to dualboot ubuntu with windows on my surface pro 3 [18:22] which as it turns out, partitioning on windows 10 on a 128GB SSD is a huge pain [18:22] VoidWhisperer: or you can install a minimal system and install only the few packages you need [18:23] BluesKaj: my bug was almost exactly this one https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1415702 === ShaggyInc is now known as Ellaxe [18:23] VoidWhisperer: install in just one partition. no seperate / and /home partitions. how much ram you got?

[18:54] _pash: what gives you "lsb_release -d" in terminal? [18:54] actually it should work. Have you tried it from other system? [18:54] <_pash> Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS [18:55] <_pash> Chris93: i tried it from my phone and it doesnt [18:55] ok [18:55] <_pash> it was down [18:55] <_pash> now they took it down for maintenance [18:55] _pash: why do you want to install a driver? its in the kernel already [18:56] Hi [18:56] nikolov@ubuntu-ivan:~$ inxi -F [18:56] System: Host: ubuntu-ivan Kernel: 4.5.0-040500rc2-generic x86_64 (64 bit) [18:56] Desktop: Unity Distro: Ubuntu 15.10 wily k1l_ i just kidding [18:56] <_pash> well k1l_ i get better performance of MATLAB on Windows, but i mostly work on Linux, so the only different thing are the drivers, currently its using mesa [18:56] !ot | Dreaman [18:56] Dreaman: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

I bought NEW harddrive SATA 3, and it died at 3 day. Iam asking myself, maybe my power supply kills hard drivers? [18:57] It is in the Kernel already, but sometimes Intel has new drivers. I think you have to install *.deb. [18:57] и усе убунту [18:57] i use ubuntu [18:57] Already 2 hard drivers died in last week, maybe power supply is guilty.. [18:57] <_pash> k1l_: Chris93: why do you think i get better matlab speed on windows than ubuntu [18:57] Dreaman: enough offtopic now. you were warned enough times. use #ubuntu-offtopic for chat [18:57] <_pash> and the difference is significant [18:58] I don*t think Ubuntu broke your hard drive.

[18:59] <_pash> right so what would be a good linux solution? [18:59] <_pash> to improve performance?

[19:02] <_pash> k1l_: ah yes [19:02] <_pash> k1l_: is that the same as running ubuntu 15? [19:02] _pash: no [19:02] <_pash> k1l_: or would that possibly give a boost? [19:03] Possibly.

If it is possible? [19:20] hey guys, I am trying to use gparted to move a partition to the right. the partition is NTFS and this is on a live cd. gparted is saying it can't read NTFS. [19:21] what livecd are you using? [19:21] ubuntu 15.04 [19:21] ntfs-3g is installed [19:21] huh [19:21] does mounting the partition work? [19:22] no [19:22] it is ghosted out [19:22] use the mount command. [19:23] hmm [19:23] it is saying it can't find /dev/sda or /dev/sda1 === JasonG is now known as Guest51319 [19:23] sudormrf: I doubt that. What is the command you are using, and what is the exact output? [19:24] bekks, sudo mount /dev/sda -> mount: can't find /dev/sda in /etc/fstab [19:24] same result with sda1 [19:24] oh derp [19:24] oh that's because you need to give it a mount point [19:24] need to point it at a folder [19:24] hang on [19:24] Hi I'm on 15.10 server and I have a problem with aufs : when I aggregate two cifs mountpoints I can't write to them, I get "device is busy". Please help :) [19:24] ok there we go === Rizy is now known as bitx0r [19:24] didn't mount [19:24] but [19:25] mount: /dev/sda is write-protected, mounting read-only [19:25] mount: wrong fs type, bad option, or other error [19:25] sudormrf: mount partitions, not the drive [19:25] derp [19:25] ok no errors [19:25] when doing what? [19:25] We cant see what you are doing so you have to tell us. [19:26] bekks, mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/temp -> no error. [19:26] sudormrf if your partition is write protected that probably means it is "dirty" [19:26] bump: he tried to mount the entire drive. [19:26] bump, will that prevent me from moving the partitions around? === suyash911 is now known as suyash911_ [19:26] sudormrf: yes. [19:26] miss [19:26] but if it doesn't give you a dirty error on mount then it isn't dirty [19:27] interesting [19:27] bump, go on [19:27] okay so you have successfully mounted the partition? [19:27] bump, [19:27] bump, yes [19:27] when you get an md5 file along with your file, are you supposed to do something along the lines of `diff <(md5 file) file.md5` ? [19:28] the primary OS on this is windows and when the image was deployed it was not done correctly. the partition table looks like this: c drive - system reserved instead of system reserved - c drive [19:28] okay, now unmount it, since we've confirmed that the ntfs-3g drivers are working properly [19:28] so now, I cloned the drive to something with more capacity and have this c drive - system reserved - unallocated space [19:28] sudormrf: PAstebin "sudo fdisk -l". [19:28] would like to move the system reserved before the c drive [19:28] bump, unmounting [19:28] sudormrf: that will tell us how the partition table looks like. [19:28] yes an fdisk layout would be nice [19:29] but I don't know if you can move a partition in front of another partition [19:29] hey, I've got 2nd screen connected and I feel some "lags" on it... I've got 2 cards in my laptop - intel one and nvidia, how can I 'debug' this issue? [19:29] can i refresh the desktop somehow? everything is black instead of mouse pointer [19:29] but I don't believe it actually matters which order the system reserved is in in windows, as long as everything is pointing to everything correctly [19:29] except mouse pointer * [19:29] installing pastebinit [19:29] maybe most people ignore the md5 [19:29] file [19:30] bump: correct, it is irrelevant to windows. [19:30] bekks, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14894339 [19:30] or maybe it uses openssl ? I dunno how to md5 a file in linux [19:30] there is unallocated space that isn't showing [19:30] 121.10gb [19:31] would either like to move sda2 before sda1 or move the unallocated space in to sda1 [19:31] oh I guess you're supposed to use md5sum [19:32] sudormrf you don't actually need to rearrange those, you should just extend the volume to the desired size, and then make sure your BCD (windows boot config) is correct [19:33] if a file is gzipped, are you supposed to run md5sum on the zip or unzipped file?... zipped right? [19:33] ash_workz: depends which md5sum you have for comparison. [19:34] bump, I can't extend the volume because it is not allowing me to select the unallocated space because it is after sda2 [19:34] either that or it is because I am getting the error in gparted about ntfs [19:34] I would definitely use md5sum [19:35] oh I see now we're back to the reason for what you said in the beginning [19:35] so you can't "drag" the sda2 partition to the right? [19:35] bump, correct [19:35] sudormrf: Which error do you get in gparted? [19:35] bekks: if I have 2 files file.ext.gz and file.ext.md5 ... does that imply the md5sum is on the uncompressed file? === alitalia is now known as casstaneda [19:35] I believe so ash_workz [19:35] bekks, the red ! saying that it is unable to read the contents of the drive [19:35] ash_workz: look into the file.ext.md5 sum, it will tell you which file was used. === suyash911_ is now known as Beth12 [19:36] the cause might be a missing software package....ntfsprogs/ntfs-3g [19:36] ash_workz: Doesn't the md5 file contain the filename? [19:36] sudormrf: If that would be the case, you would have been unable to mount it. [19:36] geirha: no [19:36] unconventional [19:37] hey sudormrf, close gparted, then open up a terminal [19:37] bekks, right. and I was able to mount it. so I don't know why gparted is reporting an error [19:37] just a hash [19:37] and type sudo -i [19:37] bump, done [19:37] and then type gparted [19:37] is there a good program to convert videos? [19:37] bump, was already running gparted as su [19:37] same error [19:37] no need for sudo -i :) [19:37] aww [19:37] ash_workz: Oh well, try both: gzip -cd file.ext.gz | md5sum - file.ext.gz [19:37] sudo gparted would be sufficient. [19:37] i thought we tended to advise against 'sudo' with GUI utilities [19:38] we do [19:38] sudo -i drops you to su [19:38] it doesnt. [19:38] sudo -i opens an interactive shell using sudo. [19:38] hellp [19:38] hello [19:38] so are we stuck? [19:38] :D [19:39] do you have any other live cd's you could try? all things considered, it should be able to play with the partition since you were able to manually play with it [19:39] bump, yeah. one sec [19:39] k [19:40] Use [ gparted-pkexec ] instead === bitx0r is now known as donga [19:40] oh what does that do SonikkuAmerica [19:41] asks for password on run [19:41] it often comes up in the dash or run dialogue box when you start typing gparted [19:41] It uses the polkit authentication method instead of the older gksu method [19:41] doing about 100 things at once. trying another live CD now [19:42] sudormrf: How about just doing one thin after another then? :) [19:42] bekks, unfortunately that isn't an option. [19:42] bekks: sudormrf never was famed for a logical order of tasks ;) [19:43] daftykins: :P [19:43] Lol [19:43] bekks, only person in the office today means that I am the only one doing everything. makes it tough to do only one thing at a time [19:43] wow you're in here asking about a work based thing? [19:43] sudormrf: and that windows box your are trying to break with gparted is the main office computer? [19:43] was trying parted magic but it was an old version that wasn't booting correctly [19:44] bekks, nah [19:44] sudormrf: Well, then do your job first. :) [19:44] bekks, this is part of the job [19:44] sudormrf: you just said "nah". [19:44] anyway, booted to ubuntu 15.10 gnome and it is giving me the same issue [19:44] it is not the main office computer [19:44] which is what the nah was in response to [19:44] anyways, same error [19:45] do i smell LVM? [19:45] no. you don't. === tvoss|dinner is now known as tvoss [19:46] Hi again. Can someone share a basic /etc/networking/interfaces file? [19:46] ah, so then you should backup and re-do from scratch so as to save everyones time [19:46] My wifi doesn't work without ethernet cable plugged in. [19:46] backup, repartition, restore -> done [19:46] Pipapop: typically the file doesn't even refer to the interfaces since network manager needs to take control of them [19:46] I had to manually add two lines in the previous file to enable eth0 connexion but wlan0 doesn't show up until I plug the ethernet cable === Beth12 is now known as Anon987 [19:46] bekks, bump any suggestions? [19:46] sudormrf: backup, reinstall. [19:47] bekks, not an option. [19:47] so the normal way to do this is `md5sum file -c file.md5` ? [19:47] if the suggestion was going to be nuke it and restart I would have done that without cloning the drive [19:47] lel [19:47] I will figure it out. thanks anyway. [19:48] do what i said, it makes sense [19:48] no. [19:48] has anyone here used the glances monitor tool? [19:48] daftykins: ok, but my network-manager went berserk after a reboot. I had no connection available but the network worked on Win7. I managed to add two lines in the interfaces file to get internet back but I am stuck with the cable now :/ [19:48] sudormrf: any particular reason you're fighting with sense again today, or do you just not like me teasing you earlier? :D [19:48] im trying to find a way to show the mem usage in kb instead of MB [19:48] sudormrf: good luck then, bein on your own. [19:48] *being [19:48] Pipapop: ok so your install is probably borked somehow [19:48] daftykins, for a variety of reasons. [19:48] daftykins: by berserk, I mean that It tried to start and respawn 10 times before being shut down [19:49] sudormrf: ok well have fun with that - you're only making things harder on yourself :) [19:49] bekks, deleting it and reinstalling is not an option, that is why. [19:49] daftykins, enough. [19:49] er no, you don't get to tell me that actually :) [19:49] daftykins: yep I think so. How can I reinstall correctly the network-manager package ? [19:49] it's pretty worrying you work with these systems for a living and yet come in here with the basics so often [19:49] ho-hum. [19:49] pls no fight [19:50] sudormrf: As I said, you are on your own now. [19:51] bekks, word. [19:51] daftykins: I found an answer on askubuntu, involving a live USB. I'll try that [19:51] there we go. much better. [19:52] bekks, understood. I appreciate you and bump trying to help out. I am sure I can work around it. going to try it in parted magic. [19:52] Pipapop: ok. i'd have tested from one at least [19:52] see if some of the other tools there will help out. [19:52] most folks learnt in the win9x era not to trust foolish partitioning tools [19:53] sudormrf: Is the data on that disk worth to be kept? [19:54] bekks, the point is to do this non-destructively if I can. doing it destructively will add a lot of time to this. whoever imaged the machine did something incorrectly [19:54] sudormrf: So image that machine correctly. [19:54] sudormrf: And save our and YOUR time. [19:54] bekks, that will take more time than fixing the partitions. believe me. [19:54] daftykins: yeah, i'll try if it works with the LiveUSB before trying to reinstall. Safety first [19:54] I doubt that [19:54] that is the last case resort [19:55] sudormrf: I strongly doubt that. [19:55] ikonia, if you saw our imaging process you would [19:55] bekks, see comment to ikonia [19:55] then fix that [19:55] stop working with broken processes/tools [19:55] stop wasting time maintaining junk [19:55] ikonia, oh, if only life were that easy [19:55] invest the time fixing the junk then roll out fix [19:55] it is [19:55] it actually is, you just don't know what you're doing it seems [19:55] it is [19:55] ikonia, unfortunately carte blanche does not exist here [19:56] then work within the process [19:56] and feed back you need X time to fix the image [19:56] already am working on that [19:56] hilight the flaw in the process/tool [19:56] already have [19:56] anyways [19:56] job done then [19:56] this is beyond the scope of this chat [19:56] thanks for your help guys [19:56] take the time to build the image correctly [19:56] as you've fed back thats what's going to happen [19:56] sudormrf: what are you talking about. You work in a company that is small enough that you are the only person that can deal with the computers right now. Grow a pair and tell your dad you are fixing the imaging process [19:57] XD [19:57] I just came in and I'm already tired of hearing about this [19:57] well, I'd handle it a little better than that [19:57] tgm4883: That will end up in having no dinner.

[20:50] Penorsaurus: that would reboot your machine every minute.... [20:50] Seveas, this was for testing [20:50] Penorsaurus: what Seveas said, assuming you put it in root's crontab. [20:50] Penorsaurus: and whether it works at all depends on which crontab it is in [20:50] it still does not work. [20:50] hello ppl [20:50] I am logged in as the root user. I am using crontab -e. [20:51] when I wanna block certain IP using iptables [20:51] how to restart iptables so change take effect ? [20:51] bekks, startup.sh works fine. [20:51] Penorsaurus: try /sbin/reboot (and try */5 * * * * to give yourself time to login to disable it :)) [20:51] service iptables save [20:51] iptables: unrecognized service [20:51] PerpetualWar__: there's no such thing as an iptables service, that's a redhatism. [20:52] ok so how do I make changes take effect ? [20:52] PerpetualWar__: try ufw. (or write your own startup script that populates iptables) [20:52] Seveas, how can I reboot crontab so the chnages I did with crontab -e take effect [20:52] PerpetualWar__: iptables-save [20:52] Penorsaurus: crontab changes take effect immediately [20:52] llutz: that just dumps it to stdout [20:53] Seveas, so every 5 minutes, it should reboot, then? [20:53] Seveas: redirect to file, iptables-restore to save it, iptables-save > /etc/iptables.conf. And in your startup script: iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.conf [20:53] llutz: :) [20:53] Penorsaurus: yup. If it doesn't, check /var/log/syslog for CRON [20:54] Seveas, i am going to change it to /1 [20:54] so its every minute. [20:54] Penorsaurus: don't. that'll not leace you enough time to log in and remove it if the cronjob works :) [20:54] I'm a local server [20:55] I have direct access to it. [20:55] Seveas, thanks [20:55] that worked [20:55] well, do as you please, but don't say you weren't warned :) [20:55] I'll change /1 to /60 [20:55] for every 60 minutes? [20:55] hten just do 0 [20:55] i'm not getting any visible errors, but after i log in the desktop is not rendering [20:55] then it goes off at the top of the hour [20:55] i don't see any errors in dmesg or Xorg.0.log [20:55] any ideas/ [20:55] ? [20:56] ok I saved to file and did iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.conf === sash87_ is now known as sash87__ [20:56] Seveas, thank you [20:56] still I see connection using netstat [20:56] How do you port forward with ufw? I have an application running in a container that I want to expose. [20:56] Seveas, it says "bad minute" [20:57] PerpetualWar__: iptables rules don't kill existing connections (though when correctly written, no traffic will be allowed on that connection) [20:57] when I do /0 [20:57] Penorsaurus: I said 0, not */0 [20:57] you don't need to do */anything [20:57] oh, I see === arthur is now known as Guest36836 [20:57] so its at 0, not divisible by 0 [20:57] Seveas, you are saying even though its established conn, it will not allow traffic thru ? [20:57] */5 -> every 5 minutes, 5 -> 5 minutes passed the hour [20:57] etc... [20:57] PerpetualWar__: if your rule is correct, yes. [20:58] how can I just drop connection ? [20:58] Hi I've ubuntu installed on a 500gigs disk and I want to move that without losing any data to a bigger disk [20:58] hello im trying to install ubuntu-mate-15.10-desktop-amd64.iso to my usb stick so i can then instal it to my harddrive . but after doing dd if= of= ; sync .. the usb says it say an invalid GPT partition that is missing a fake msdos partition. how do i correctly make a usb so i can use ubuntu? please help =( [20:58] PerpetualWar__: restart the service that has it open. [20:58] remove from established ? [20:58] PerpetualWar__: use tcpkill === Guest36836 is now known as Arthur__Hact [20:58] is there a way to get an image of the current installation and copy it to the new disk? [20:58] what [20:58] llutz I cannot use that command [20:59] tcpkill [20:59] bash: tcpkill: command not found [20:59] !find tcpkill [20:59] File tcpkill found in bash-completion, dsniff [20:59] springirl: dd for a bit-by-bit copy (only useful if the disks are of the same size) or rsync for a file by file copy (where you need to be careful with which files to exclude) [20:59] PerpetualWar__: sudo apt-get install dsniff [20:59] how do i go about installing ubuntu then from iso [21:00] to either usable persistance usb or perferable harddrive and also persist usb [21:00] mate|18745: turn the iso into a dvd or usb disk and install from that [21:00] i dont have a dvd [21:00] usb stick works just fine [21:00] but not with dd? [21:00] I haven't installed from DVD in years :) [21:00] so lost [21:01] try usb-creator-gtk [21:01] i am only able to boot from porteus atm [21:01] mate|18745: What is the exact dd command you ran? [21:01] llutz can u help me with usage ? === Jordan_U_ is now known as Jordan_U [21:01] tckill not working [21:01] dd if=ubuntu-mate-15.10-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M; sync [21:02] mate|18745: I'm not sure if that is supposed to work with Ubuntu's isos [21:02] Seveas: It is. [21:02] PerpetualWar__: tcpkill host ip.ad.re.ss "man tcpkill" [21:02] Jordan_U: thanks! TIL :) [21:02] mate|18745: And what happens when you try to boot from this USB drive? [21:02] <_pash> /bye [21:02] bye _pash [21:02] do i need to setup partitions with fdisk before i do dd? [21:03] mate|18745: No. [21:03] i didnt try to boot it, i just used dd cmd and then ran gparted and gparted said errors with gpt missing fake msdos [21:03] thanks llutz [21:03] alguem???

[21:04] atm i am doing dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb; sync .. then hoping i can find a solotion to be able to install ubuntu [21:05] i am running from ram atm and if i reboot i will be without iso === gfdhjf is now known as Ogjo [21:06] wow [21:06] Seveas: ...Why would dd not work? [21:06] can anyone recommend a twitter command-line app? [21:06] Hi, I have a laptop with encrypted LVM that is unable to boot into X because it says disk is full ... looking at the error messages in dmesg, it looks like it might have something to do with hibernation image (computer has been off for months, and maybe was hibernated when last shut off?) [21:07] when I run du, it shows plenty of space, but df shows device-mapper drive @ 100% full [21:07] trying to boot x shows can't create temp file because disk is full [21:08] LambdaComplex: older isos didn't contain a partition table compatible with usb disks and the right bootloader. Booting from cd is a different process than booting from usb. [21:08] <_Rarity> Hi. When doing an "cd mydir", which directory is searched for "mydir" first? Is it the working directory or the PATH? [21:08] dr00p4: irssi+bitlbee [21:08] Seveas: Yeah, and I haven't seen a Linux iso in ages that wasn't a hybrid :P [21:08] springirl: you want rsync btw [21:09] LambdaComplex: that just shows how long ago I actually looked at this :) I feel old. [21:09] Seveas: thx, bitlbee - I'll investigate [21:09] rsync not sync? [21:09] mate|18745: rsync and sync are two very different things [21:10] how to fix the gparted program saying i have invalid gpt table thats missing fake msdos partion after doing dd from the ubuntu-mate-15.10-desktop-amd64.iso [21:10] mate|18745: the rsync suggestion was aimed at springirl, who's looking to copy one system to another. sync is what you do to sync filesystems, it's not needed (but harmless) after dd. [21:10] Can anyone helphelphelp mememe? [21:11] I needneedneed to be able to boot into my XXX windows. [21:11] springirl: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Full_system_backup_with_rsync [21:11] might be able to use the vg cmds from grub resuce bill [21:11] mate|18745: yes, your dd's have overwritten everything, including the partition table. If you want a partition table, create one :) === THLEFONIKO19 is now known as THLEFONIKO19_ [21:12] hrm so after i dd copy go into gparted and do add partition table msdos or gpt? and that wont overwrite the disk again? [21:12] Seveas: Shouldn't the iso have a valid partition table? O.o [21:12] LambdaComplex: he then overwrote it from /dev/zero :) [21:12] Seveas: Well, that'd do it :p [21:13] ya but after the dev/zero is complete id like to put ubuntu-mate-15.10-desktop-amd64.iso back on it as Round 2 [21:13] but correctly this time [21:13] mate|18745: then stop faffing about with gparted [21:13] mate|18745: How'd you do it the first time? [21:13] and just dd the iso onto it [21:13] dd if=ubuntu-mate-15.10-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M; sync [21:14] you don't need the sync. [21:14] Er...why didn't that work? O.o [21:14] Hi all. I installed isc-dhcp-server yesterday. Was able to start, worked great. After reboot today the service won't start [21:14] when i plug it in after the dd , it mounts sdb which i cant access , sdb1 with Ubuntu files on it and sdb2 with efi folder [21:14] irreleph4nt: show us the logs please. [21:15] mate|18745: that seems fine. And it doesn't mount sdb, as it's not a filesystem. So that's why you can't access it. [21:15] i can't boot into unity and i'm not getting any useful error messages... [21:15] !pm | irreleph4nt [21:15] irreleph4nt: 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. [21:16] Seveas: Which logs would be relevant for you to see in this case? [21:16] cortexman: did you do anything before? [21:16] irreleph4nt: the isc-dhcp-server logs that show the startup failure would probably be heplful... [21:16] so just ignore the gparted bad gpt table messages and try to boot it and then install to harddrive should work fine? [21:16] mate|18745: yes. [21:16] awesome, thanks peeps [21:16] xangua, i installed the wrong nvidia drivers, then reinstalled the system on top of the old one and it worked again. now it's not working again. [21:18] I don't know what to dododo! [21:18] i have an error while launching tor [21:19] Seveas: Paste http://paste.ubuntu.com/14896288/ - I also included the service file as I had to rewrite it; stock wasn't working at all [21:19] Feb 05 22:19:12.826 [warn] Failed to parse/validate config: Failed to bind one of the listener ports. [21:19] Feb 05 22:19:12.826 [err] Reading config failed--see warnings above. [21:19] will that usb be capable of running persistance after doing the dd copy or do i need to reinstall ubuntu-mate-15.10-desktop-amd64.iso to the usb with usbcreator after installing the hardrive from usb [21:20] irreleph4nt: well, the clue is right there. Your new service file is just as broken (you're passing an empty variable to dirname) === THLEFONIKO19_ is now known as t0x [21:20] irreleph4nt: so revert back to the original one. I don't believe for a second that it's as broken as you say it is. [21:21] irreleph4nt: and then edit /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server to match your environment. Then it should start. [21:22] anonymous287_: so kill what's already listening on the tor port or run tor on another port... [21:24] Seveas: I don't get why, but using the original service file works ... [21:24] Seveas: I really don't understand that though. When I installed dhcp server yesterday, the stock file always crashed because it was unable to write a -pid file [21:25] Seveas: Thank you for your help [21:26] Seveas: the other disk is bigger it should be 1 TB is there a possibility to do that? [21:29] springirl: then rsync is your friend. [21:29] ok thank you so much === Ogjo is now known as bhughes_ [21:29] springirl if you have no separate partion for home or something: rsync -avx /olddisk /mnt/newdisk [21:30] yes no separate partitions that's what I was looking for thank you so much [21:30] err, rsync -avx / /mnt/newdisk [21:31] ok thanks === Bray90820_ is now known as Bray90820 [21:35] What's a good replacement or the question mark in the ubuntu file system [21:35] *For === t0x is now known as net125mp [21:36] Bray90820: why would it need replacing?

[21:39] springirl: Yes but what could I use instead of the question mark [21:39] Bray90820: how about the letter W [21:39] I have an ubuntu 14.04 vbox vm that I've been using for a while. Today it seemed to freeze, and when I rebooted it, I was able to get through the graphical login, but after that it just goes black and never gives me a desktop. I then tried rebooting the host also, but that made no difference. How can I start diagnosing this? [21:40] tgm4883: Why the W [21:40] Bray90820: why not W [21:40] Bray90820: take the Z if you don't like the W [21:40] or the question mark! [21:41] 'sed s/?/W/g | sec s/W/?/g' [21:43] ext4 supports pretty much every character in filenames except / [21:43] hello I found an Ubuntu 14.04 Disks mounting bug, where can I report? [21:43] you can even have a newline in a filename [21:44] Bray90820: so, like Seveas said, that's a problem in whatever program you're using :P [21:44] (also just because you can _have_ a newline in a filename doesn't mean you ever should) [21:45] the problem is on 14.04 Disks program says to mount with x-gvfs-how and x-gvfs-name= but this commands don't exists, Disks app show this as mounting options :-) [21:45] LambdaComplex: It's a wine app so yea :P [21:45] on 15.10 the problem is solved [21:45] LambdaComplex: I think only \0 can't be used in filenames [21:45] Bray90820: What errors? When do you see these error messages? [21:46] Bray90820: And you're using it to view something on Ubuntu's ext file system? [21:46] Bray90820: and you didn't think that would be useful to mention!? [21:46] lol [21:46] windows (and by extension loads of windows apps, including when run with wine) disallow a lot characters in filenames. [21:47] Windows + ext = probably not good, since Microsoft seems to think case-insensitive file systems are too complicated for most people [21:47] Seveas: Sorry === net125mp is now known as gunfire007 [21:50] Hyradar [21:50] Dude [21:51] Got a new HP notebook.

I did a minimal install [22:19] yes [22:19] well without a working network connection, you're screwed. [22:19] well I have regular ethernet too [22:19] the same way you did the minimal insall with apt-get [22:19] why do a minimal install ? [22:20] I just wanted to do a quick check to see if this cheapo adapter works on linux [22:20] so a full install would have been a quicker check [22:20] how is that? net install would take a while [22:20] quesker: enabling the wily HWE would be the easiest, so that you get a 3.19 kernel to test - but even that's quite old now too [22:21] i'm afraid i don't extend any patience to those who won't just save an install for a sensible time when they have a flash drive to hand, so i'll have to leave you to someone else who fancies the challenge.

And it says the size of the external hard drive is only 209GB (the size of my win7 partition) [22:29] you don't use a tarball [22:29] quesker: you'll find it a more valid test if you just download and install a desktop setup [22:29] :-) [22:29] again, i think assistance is just enabling your self-imposed restriction of not obtaining a flash drive and doing things properly. [22:29] no dvd [22:30] use a usb [22:30] dd definitely copied the entire 500GB hard drive (it took all day) [22:30] :-? [22:30] and usb install looks like a crapshoot [22:30] ?? [22:30] already tried one [22:30] ? [22:30] the machine doesn't recognize it but it will recognize the next one right? [22:30] C_minus_: i would bet you screwed up, and used /dev/sdx1 instead of /dev/sdx as input === Athena32 is now known as Goldman60 [22:30] C_minus_: What is "it"? Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l". [22:30] quesker: well you should be using the ISO, however if you go down to "Select an architecture to install 14.04 with wily's 4.2 HWE kernel (supported until August 2016)" then click the link for your architecture (I'm assuming amd64) the tarball is right on the freaking page [22:31] ok I am blind I see it now thanks [22:31] heh [22:31] daftykins no i used dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdc === Goldman60 is now known as Guest81650 [22:31] C_minus_: checking the output of "sudo parted -l" would double check what happened [22:31] but why are you cloning an entire disk? [22:32] Jordan_U "it" would be nautilus [22:32] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14897735/ [22:33] looks like it's all there, to me. [22:33] daftykins cloning the entire disk so as to have a simple 1-line backup procedure. [22:34] simple, but wildly wasteful [22:34] daftykins yeah i guess it is all listed there in the "my passport" (the brand of external hdd i have). i was just thrown off because only the win7 section displayed itself in nautilus [22:34] yes a WD drive [22:34] i don't care about waste, i need fast easy simple [22:34] C_minus_: That's probably a reasult of two fileystems having the same UUID. When supposedly Univerally Unique IDentifiers aren't Universally Unique you tend to get problems. You can either change the UUID of your filesystems or just ensure that you never have two copies of the same FS (with the same UUID) in the same machine at the same time. [22:35] i was going to use clonezilla but it gave me some stupid error. Jordan_U how did i set that? was it when I chose user account names at os install? [22:36] C_minus_: The UUID is a random number generated when the FS is created. [22:36] yeah well ok thanks fellas [22:36] later [22:36] ah the stuff users do. [22:37] I plugged my USB flash drive into a Windows 7 machine and the "Error Checking" window popped up. I clicked on "Repair drive" option to fix it. Is there a way to do this with Ubuntu using the command line. This is what I see when I type "sudo fdisk -l": W95 FAT32 (LBA) Tnx in advance [22:39] hi [22:39] hello [22:40] hay [22:40] MeXTuX: err, i'm not sure if fsck works on FAT... it might do, but really it's best handled by Windows i think - depends if you care what's on there [22:41] MeXTuX: sudo fsck.fat /dev/sdXY [22:41] daftykins: Fixing ntfs filesystems should definitely be left to Windows, but fsck.fat is perfectly good at its job. [22:42] fair enough [22:42] i knew that much for sure :) === boffle is now known as kevireilly_ [22:42] how about exFAT? i'd imagine that one is still somewhat proprietary to Microsoft [22:43] s.a iyi akşamlar === Guest81650 is now known as hh4a [22:45] !tr | xxx i wouldn say that in turkish channel, if i were you [22:45] xxx i wouldn say that in turkish channel, if i were you: Turk ubuntu kullanıcıları, Türkçe yardım ya da geyik için /join #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. [22:47] geyik? :) [22:47] i don't think so OerHeks [22:48] Cihan: if you're saying it's a bad translation someone made, feel free to suggest a correction to #ubuntu-ops [22:48] not a bad [22:48] :D [22:48] it's ok :) [22:49] daftykins: he just invited Turkish people in the chatroom, that's all :) [22:49] My Xubuntu install on my SSD is 6 gigs, and I have 16 gb ram. Is there any way I can boot Xubuntu to ramdisk to make it faster? [22:49] 16GB ram <3 [22:49] Cheap these days. :P [22:50] 16 GB normally [22:50] gilje: it really doens't work like that [22:50] but i used to 20 gb [22:50] i think such an action would be frivolous [22:50] gilje: ubuntu uses the ram automatically [22:50] I'm gonna build 64GB, when intel released 10nm cpu :) [22:50] after skylake and cannonlake [22:50] i use the ubuntu with win7 [22:51] ESXi :) [22:51] vm <3 [22:52] My system takes 15 secs to boot. But systemd-analyze gives 4 secs for kernel + userspace. Is there any way to improve boot speeds? [22:52] bootchart gives clues does it not? [22:52] sorry, haven't checked that yet [22:53] you should research the new version of bios system [22:53] systemd-analyze plot > filename.svg [22:53] from http://askubuntu.com/questions/710127/how-can-i-set-up-bootchart-in-ubuntu-15-10 [22:54] funky! good work OerHeks :D that resulting image would be useful [22:54] yep. that gives the same result. 3.8 secs (2.4+1.4) [22:55] gilje: you can look at the image and see what exactly is taking "that long" [22:55] I was more concerned about the stuff that happens before kernel [22:55] how to speed up grub [22:56] Hi all, have a little problem with running my js scope. [22:56] so ikonia in addition to the base install which of these packages should I also install to see if a driver for my usb3 ethernet exists? perhaps openssh server or 2d/3d creation and editing suite [22:56] This is the problem I have >> This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb". [22:57] gilje: Do you have reason to believe that grub is taking a long time, as opposed to POST taking a long time? [22:57] Please can anyone help out? [22:57] dbilovd: What application are you trying to start? === hh4a is now known as deathsha1ow [22:58] yeah, might be that. trouble is I can't see the splash screen. Is it possible bios settings will speed up boot? Thanks. [22:58] Jordan_U: I'm going through one of the scopes tutorial, using qt [22:58] gilje, if you don't even see splash, your system is awfully fast [22:58] :-D [22:59] Nah, my monitor takes ages (about 5 secs) to wake from sleep [22:59] So I just hit run in the Ubuntu SDK IDE and the problem comes up. [22:59] It worked y'day [23:00] gilje: Is this a UEFI based system? [23:00] I think so. Just formatted win8 ssd [23:02] how hack to website??? [23:02] can you help me?? [23:02] snp13r: not on topic here, wrong network. [23:03] snp13r, that is beyond the scope of this channel [23:03] ok im sorry [23:03] Anyways, thanks for help. gtg now [23:03] gilje: Then grub is waiting 3 seconds at boot. [23:04] so even with the 4.2 kernel it still doesn't see the usb3 ethernet. thanks for the help getting pxe installs going [23:04] much easier than dealing with usb sticks [23:04] quesker: Still worth trying Ubuntu 15.10. [23:05] snp13r, go look for backbox/kali channels for pentesting, don't say hacking [23:05] you think [23:05] quesker: Actually, no. Just realized that 15.10 is on a 4.2 kernel as well. [23:05] ok thanks [23:05] yeah. no big I can order one that actually works [23:05] quesker: you could test 16.04 though === kevireilly_ is now known as Scionwest [23:06] quesker: nice try ;) [23:06] I've installed laptop-mode which enables me to adjust the default screen brightness when my laptop is running on battery. This works fine when I'm switching between battery and power-supply. The only problem I get with the laptop-mode is that the screen brightness is not been adjusted to the default configured value when Im booting the laptop with battery as it's power source. [23:08] But after my system is booted, witching between battery and power-supply will adjust the screen brightness accordingly to the configuration that I've done [23:08] that's pretty common, set it with a boot script maybe [23:10] daftykins: I don't get it, I see that laptop-mode is u and running after booting the system [23:10] too late probably. [23:12] yeahh === deathsha1ow is now known as stickb0y7 [23:21] hey people [23:21] i'm in a kind of bend when it comes to using my SSD and HDD optimally [23:21] how should i partition my system? [23:21] up to you [23:22] well, i'd want /home on my HDD [23:22] do it then [23:22] Can I upgrade my ubuntu 15.04 to 16.04? (it's on a VM) [23:22] C2CNL: put / and home onto the ssd and all data to the hdd [23:22] minas114: yes [23:22] but i want fast boots, fast loading of applications, but store all data on the hdd [23:22] ikonia, How? [23:22] minas114: first to 15.10, then to 16.04 (when its released in april) [23:22] C2CNL: hoe doesn't store the applications [23:22] minas114: what for the release [23:22] so i'm wondering how i would partition it in the installer, e.g. what to do? [23:22] minas114: then follow the upgrade instructions [23:23] please tell me if anyone of you guys managed to get the configuration you've made in laptop-mode for screen brightness to kick in when booting your system [23:23] k1l_, sorry, It's 15.10 that I have [23:23] ali_: the what ? [23:23] i think /etc should be on the hdd, /usr on the ssd? [23:23] C2CNL: /etc can't be a partition [23:23] C2CNL: you don't neeed /usr as a seperate partition [23:23] minas114: then use the -d for developer. be aware 16.04 is still in development. it will break and you need to help yourself [23:24] ikonia: so, what should i do then? [23:24] C2CNL: just put / on the ssd and /home on the hard disk if you're low on space on the ssd [23:24] k1l_, sudo apt-get upgrade -d ?? [23:24] minas114: no [23:24] C2CNL: you've got to lay it out how you feel best, use your space [23:24] minas114: what for the release [23:24] minas114: ubuntu doesnt use apt-get to update the releases [23:24] ikonia: i want it optimized for speed, but store everything that's space-hungry on the hdd [23:24] C2CNL: dp that then [23:24] ikonia, I'm sorry, I don't understand you... [23:24] not only /home holds a lot of data [23:24] minas114: what for 16.04 to be released [23:25] C2CNL: where else holds a lot of data [23:25] k1l_, Ah, ok. Do you know the command? [23:25] i don't know, that's why i'm here. [23:25] C2CNL: how big is your SSD [23:25] i want as least as possible on the ssd [23:25] 120GB [23:25] HDD is 500GB [23:25] minas114: ubuntu uses do-release-upgrade on CLI to upgrade. but 16.04 is not ready. it will break. and then you will need to fix the issues yourself. are you aware of that? [23:25] C2CNL: how big is your personal data ? [23:25] hello [23:25] i want to asking [23:25] not sure yet, i'm starting fresh [23:26] C2CNL: ok, so make / on the SSD and /home on the SSD, if your personal data gets too big move /home to the HD [23:26] how to install software in ubuntu? [23:26] suryo: https://help.ubuntu.com [23:26] !manual | suryo [23:26] suryo: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [23:27] list [23:27] k1l_, Yes. It's only for testing on a VM. Okay I tried it but "no new release found". (By the way I have enabled pre-released updates in "software and updates" application, but I geuss that is for 15.10) [23:27] thanks [23:27] i will read it [23:27] ikonia: the configuration that Ive made for screen brightness values only works when Im switching between battery/power-supply when my system is up and running. The configuration is not read when Im booting my system with the battery as it power source... [23:27] minas114: what is "lsb_release -d" ? [23:27] ohhh noooo newbie cant use anything [23:27] :( [23:28] suryo: use the software center [23:28] ali_: you'd need to change the boot order to make sure apm is earlier in the boot chain [23:28] ikonia: so, installing applications won't fill up the ssd? [23:28] k1l_, Ubuntu 15.10 [23:28] ali_: but to be honest - why bother [23:28] C2CNL: no [23:28] software center install or from web? [23:28] C2CNL: you'd have to try very hard to fill up a 120GB disk with ubuntu applications [23:28] minas114: so that should work [23:28] steam games [23:29] Steam games will be installed where? [23:29] /home/username/.steam/ probably [23:29] read their help :) [23:30] k1l_, it should, but it doesn't :) Let me see what I can find. Thanks for the help. === Scionwest is now known as gp5st [23:30] i think it's ~/.local/share/Steam [23:30] !paste | minas114 put all the command and output there === stickb0y7 is now known as g9m29 [23:30] minas114 put all the command and output there: 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.

[23:31] i also have major issues with my internal discrete graphics card, just can't get it to work seamlessly [23:31] ikonia: it's a nice configuration to save battery life, and you don't need to worry about forgetting it... [23:32] always having to optirun stuff [23:32] k1l_, ohhh, I did "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" and now it is fetching new packages. I didn;t realize you told me to use -d with that command! [23:32] C2CNL, you can move steam folders to an other hdd within steam, http://askubuntu.com/a/226885 [23:32] C2CNL: welcome to hybrid graphics under Linux [23:32] coolbeans, just like steam on windows [23:33] minas114: -d is for developer. that is to make sure no beginners update to developer releases. [23:33] k1l_, I understand. [23:33] daftykins: it's rather annoying, especially when trying to get the Blizzard.net launcher to work under linux [23:33] k1l_, Thanks :) [23:33] fucked it up, now have to reinstall, gonna curb windows in the process [23:33] C2CNL: yeah if you want to game i think Linux is a mistake on such a laptop. Easy on the language by the way... [23:33] daftykins: it's a Asus N750JK [23:34] that doesn't really change much [23:34] i7-4710HQ and GTX 850M [23:35] suryo, it's preffered from software center because it gets updated automatically that way. However, it might be or two versions behind... You must check this, if possible. [23:35] just wanna be able to play WoW on linux, it should work [23:35] https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=32314 [23:35] for WoW, check out playonlinux [23:36] https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=28855&iTestingId=92437 [23:36] that should work aswell, tried debugging, some d3d shit [23:36] stuff* [23:37] sorry [23:37] but it crashes almost immediately [23:37] upon that i tried updating intel drivers, this completely killed X and it just wouldn't budge [23:37] so i've decided i'd reinstall [23:38] and just start fresh, with ubuntu on the SSD, and all data on the HDD [23:38] to be honest buying a gaming laptop then installing Linux is very backwards imo [23:38] it's not a gaming laptop, multimedia laptop that just packs a punch [23:39] that's splitting hairs [23:39] but i enjoy linux more than windows to be honest [23:39] and wanting to play WoW is just something i wouldn't ordinarily do on the laptop [23:39] i'm more home in things as Android Studio and PHPStorm [23:42] sounds like a dualboot would make more sense, but up to you anyway [23:43] last time i tried that, windows took my ssd completely [23:44] Yeah, I second dual-booting. Good way to have a work environment and a gaming environment === g9m29 is now known as tout3 [23:46] you need to pay some attention to the installer and not rush through it. [23:47] so, / => ssd, /home => hdd, anything else i can do while partitioning? [23:47] how big is the storage in that thing? [23:47] daftykins: 449GB free [23:47] more than enough space [23:47] so 512GB SSD and there's a mechanical too, or? [23:47] it starts the launcher, and then i get a blizzard crash error [23:47] oh, 120GB SSD, 500GB HDD [23:48] i'm used to windows filling it up real fast [23:48] hmm not really a lot of either to do anything well [23:48] yeah i don't think i would bother without an upgrade [23:49] upgrade as in, bigger SSD, bigger HDD [23:49] any combination [23:49] lol yeah, guess so [23:49] C2CNL: 512GB ssd? and you worry about ubuntu filling that? [23:49] 120 [23:49] even 120 is enough. [23:50] the bare system is something <10GB. with nearly all programs installed. [23:50] but it's about partitioning, and to put what on which partition [23:50] that makes 110GB for stuff in your /home. [23:50] k1l_: we're talking about a dualboot with Windows as it happens [23:50] hoping i could split it optimized over the two [23:50] i'm not too keen on DB'ing windows tbh [23:51] i mean even 100GB for Windows, then 20GB odd for ubuntu... games partition on the 500GB for Windows, maybe a /home for ubuntu... something like that [23:51] i'd rather dig in and get it to work on linux [23:51] i don't think it's ideal still. [23:51] C2CNL: put / and /home on your ssd. then put your data onto that big hdd and mount that big hdd to your ubuntu system. [23:52] k1l_: might, 100GB for windows? [23:53] i hate this so much right now, lol, means i have to reinstall the desktop aswell [23:53] i dunno if k1l_ knows we were talking about dualbooting [23:53] err what? why touch the desktop? that's an insane claim [23:53] from zdnet: Here comes the first Ubuntu Linux tablet - http://www.zdnet.com/article/here-comes-the-first-ubuntu-linux-tablet/?tag=nl.e539&s_cid=e539&ttag=e539&ftag=TRE17cfd61 [23:53] eelstrebor: take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please [23:54] well, windows is very space hungry and its a pain when it filled up. [23:54] this is ubuntu isn't it? [23:54] daftykins: two pc's, both need to run WoW, one is this laptop, the other is a desktop running only ubuntu [23:54] eelstrebor: support only, not general chat. [23:54] k1l_: exactly [23:54] eelstrebor: this channel is support only. please read the guidelines [23:55] it's even in the topic =P "#ubuntu: Official Ubuntu Suppot Channel" [23:55] i was gonna ask a question about it but if you're gonna be jerks then i'll see you in about a year - bye! === gp5st is now known as cedrichu_ [23:55] woah, sorry for my humor o_O [23:56] hey there, having problems with sound (USB loudspeakers) + bluetooth mouse (HP).. when i have nothing running producing audio output, i hear this "bzzzzz" sound, which is getting louder whenever i scroll (when i click a mouse button it make the sound louder too) ; so i'm thinking there is some kind of frequence problem between the two... but could there be a driver update or so using ubuntu that fixes this ? [23:56] gevs: lol, had that issue aswell a long time ago [23:56] damn disturbing .. [23:56] been two months now [23:56] still don't know what the umpf it was [23:56] and today i am getting rid of it :P [23:57] I followed the fix in this site (for mismatched mbr gpt) and now my laptop doesn't boot. no grub. just blinking cursor on black screen. [23:57] https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18545787 [23:57] yeah following obscure forums advice isn't always too great [23:57] so i assume i've gotta use my new fresh new backup! [23:57] C_minus: You said that you had that error on a USB drive. Did you repair your USB drive or your internal drive? [23:58] gdisk is oke, choose 2: gpt [23:58] no i didn't have that error on a usb drive. this is my laptop's hard drive [23:58] C_minus: (Though I now realize that I may be confusing you with someone else).
