You could try ##C++-general or even #ubuntu-offtopic [00:04] hi [00:05] hows u elzi === sauvin is now known as hee === hee is now known as Sauvin [00:06] ersin hg [00:08] Guys how hard to learn C? Can C be used to control some aspect in linux system [00:10] I've been off Linux for a bit. I recently came back and installed Ubuntu Wily.. Ubuntu has come a long way and I haven't seen any problems. Good job, devs! [00:12] barry: For me, C was a medium-difficulty programming language. [00:12] How do I set gthumb to be the default app that opens when doubling-clicking a picture? [00:14] SahibPrime: Curious. If C is medium-difficulty programming language, what would you rate for Php? [00:15] barry: Haven't tried PHP. [00:15] Oh, okay [00:17] Before learning C, I would recommend a simpler object-oriented language. [00:18] Revian1, right click on filename -> properties -> open with -> set as default etc [00:18] Im learning Php right now [00:19] squinty, Well, that was easy. Thank you! [00:20] yw [00:25] I have some broken entries in my grub menu (that showed up after running boot repair). If I install windows from a disk will that "clean" the efi partition? I'm fine with losing data/reinstalling ubuntu afterwards. [00:27] ActinalWhomp: As far as I know, Windows overwrites GRUB. [00:27] You could also format the disk, and reinstall Ubuntu. [00:27] How I can give a user read and write access to whole /var/www/html and its sub-directories? [00:27] chmod [username]:[username] +RW /var/www/html [00:27] chmod [username]:[username] +RW /var/www/html/* [00:28] Assuming [username] is in a group named [username]. [00:28] Thanks. [00:28] No problem. [00:30] SahibPrime: chmod myusername:www-data +RW +RW /var/www/html/* . Like this right? [00:31] SahibPrime, Doesn't he need chmod -R [00:31] Revian1: Oh sorry, -R. I thgouth that meant remove read permissions. [00:31] *thought [00:31] Hi guys ;) [00:32] SahibPrime, No, -R means recursive. Otherwise changes will only be made to the parent dir === Jamie_2 is now known as Jamie_1 [00:33] Revian1: Well, I don't have much experience with chown. [00:33] er, chmod === nolsen is now known as IRCv666 === IRCv666 is now known as nolsen [00:38] What happened to scummvm? It's in the repos but not installable. I loved that app on Ubuntu precise [00:39] KINDA NOT RELATED TO HERE, BUT STILL: A tuff one: Do you think I can find any info in (someone else's..) .pcap capture file about their hardware (prossesor model)? If so, what kind of packets might contain such information? [00:42] !info scummvm trusty [00:42] scummvm (source: scummvm): engine for several graphical adventure games. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.6.0+dfsg-3 (trusty), package size 5472 kB, installed size 18916 kB [00:43] Revian1: ^^ universe repo enabled on your system ? [00:43] !info scummvm wily [00:43] scummvm (source: scummvm): engine for several graphical adventure games. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.7.0+dfsg-2 (wily), package size 6928 kB, installed size 24069 kB [00:44] Bashing-om, I have main,, restricted, universe, and multiverse enabled on Wily [00:46] Revian1: Should have access and downloadable then . Update the sytem and install ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo apt install scummvm ' . Should be all thete is to it . [00:46] Bashing-om, Well, it's installiing now. earlier today it said there was a dep that wasn't installable [00:47] Bashing-om, installed now. couold have been my crappy internet connection ealier today [00:47] Bashing-om, Thanks for the help [00:48] Revian1: Well .. no help .. just a hand to hold . Pleased all working out . [00:48] yeah, it's all good [00:48] Made me go back and investigate anyway [00:49] I was seeing lots of apps in Synaptic listed as app name with ':386' appended to the end [00:49] Hmm, lots of apps I couldn't install earlier are now available [00:49] hide from osx hehe [00:49] * Revian1 slaps Comcast [00:51] Revian1: ":386'" are the 32 bit libs for installed apps ( steam ??) . [00:51] Bashing-om, oh, yea, [00:54] rc [00:54] soo hi [00:55] Is "+RW" something new in chmod? I have never seen that before. [00:55] I don't think so. Just one of my errors [00:55] chmod accepts it though [00:55] Hello. Is there a command that toggles multiple monitors to copy and extend eachother? [00:56] adds read and write perms [00:56] install ar and r [00:56] Java_: [00:56] zerocool12: What are they? [00:57] program that helps you with multiple monitors on ubuntu [00:57] Java_: I think there is a GUI for it. [00:57] zerocool12: Sweet. :D [00:57] Windows Key + p does some weird toggling. [00:57] in my opinion better than one that ubuntu allready come with [00:57] it has GUI,yes [00:58] For me, Windows + P opens the display menu. [00:58] I'm on XFCE, so I guess that's a bonus [00:58] I'm on xfce too,ar nad r works great [01:01] GNU walks into a stand-up comedy area. [01:01] The audience says "What will you do?" [01:01] GNU replies, "I'll 'make' you happy!" [01:02] Whoops, wrong channel [01:02] haha [01:02] quick change the channel [01:03] ;) [01:03] I thought that IRC was dead [01:03] haven't used it in years === zenlot1 is now known as zenlot [01:05] How do you disable the Windows key? [01:06] Java_: I think you can keyboard shortcut it to a useless command, like sl. [01:26] hey guys [01:27] oy [01:27] how can I determine if I have the latest version of the ATI proprietary drivers? [01:27] hi. does anyone know the command that i can use to see which programs depend on a certain library? (libcsound64-6.0) [01:27] !amd | sector_0 [01:27] sector_0: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [01:30] just trying to figure out which program i have installed uses libcsound64-6.0 and not sure how to check [01:32] hello everyone [01:33] http://thebest404pageever.com/swf/Papers_Please.swf (language warning) [01:33] wrong [01:33] SahibPrime, do not spam this channel [01:33] channel again [01:33] Why do I keep mixing up offtopic with normal [01:34] Interesting strategy. Swf-attack with apology. [01:35] he1kki, social engineering. on that note: I just installed "no-script" plugin to firefox. very precise control of swf and java content. [01:35] apt-cache rdepends libcsound64-6.0 [01:36] apt-cache showpkg libcsound64-6.0 [01:37] does anyone here have any experience running ubuntu on a dell XPS 15 with touchscreen. I mean specifically getting the NVidia 960M GTX to work [01:37] dpkg -S libcsound64-6.0 [01:37] dellxps15probz, I have the m3800 ... no problems with nvidia [01:39] well i kind of did something stupid. I installed it, everything was running great. Then i experienced slight issues playing videos fullscreen and decided to switch back to the nouveau driver from the Nvidia-361 and you can guess what happened... [01:39] dellxps15probz, sorry, I can't see the screen from LOL ... but yeah, you done messed up. did you remove the drivers or only switch? [01:40] just switch [01:40] i changed them back to nvidia from root [01:40] dellxps15probz, from root? from ROOT??!!! [01:40] however the display is now 640x480 [01:40] sorry shell prompt [01:40] not root [01:41] the display is too larhge however [01:41] and and nvidia-settings won't detect the display anymore [01:42] dellxps15probz, run system > additional drivers app. it should pick up your NVIDIA binary driver. select one of the proprietary options [01:43] yeah the drivers work now, but it no longer detects my display..my beautiful, BEAUTIFUL 4K touchscreen display, even in nvidia-settings...it's displaying 640x480 [01:43] cfhowlett, that page doesn't tell me how to determine if my version is the latest [01:44] dellxps15probz, well, I've never changed anything from command line. can't advise what or why. ask again in channel --- someone will know [01:44] thanks [01:45] sector_0, go to the site, find your card, check the version: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/linux [01:45] i mean i'm running x now, but it's just a profoundly screwed up display of 640x480 [01:46] dellxps15probz, well you don't really NEED 4k, right? :) [01:46] dellxps15probz, so what prompted you to switch drivers in the first place? your end goal?? [01:46] yeah but I would like normal sized icons [01:46] the cursor is about the size of my thumb right now [01:47] i wanted videos to play smoother, there was some "choppiness" in the videos in fullscreen which I did not encounter when i first set up my system (it defaulted to nouveau) [01:48] i just wanted that smoothness back (even if I had to sacrifice the 4K) [01:48] dellxps15probz, you mean playing 4k videos, right? [01:48] any videos [01:48] youtube, what have you [01:49] anything that was playing was rendering correctly until i made it fullscreen [01:49] the only hiccup I've seen on my box have been full fledged 4k videos. [01:49] yeah that's why I had switched to nvidia in the first place [01:49] better rendering than nouveau [01:50] but there has to be a way to get my machine to detect the display again [01:50] nvidia won't release the specs so nouveau will never be as good [01:51] dellxps15probz, whatever you did at command line changed ... something would be my guess. [01:53] how do you guys manage updating the distribution all the time? [01:54] do you run LTS for 3 years, then have some migration path to next LTS? [01:54] all i did was sudo apt-get install nvidia-361 [01:54] karstensrage, different strokes. personally, I do LTS only. LTS > LTS upgrade is fully supported. [01:54] karstensrage: I backup my stuff and fresh install to the next LTS [01:54] and them nvidia-xconfig [01:54] *then [01:54] cfhowlett, does LTS -> LTS work reliably? [01:55] im wondering how people do this on 1000's of servers? [01:55] backup and install to fresh seems very tricky [01:55] karstensrage, IMO it does exactly what I need. YMMV. but servers tend to be conservative and go with LTS. ask the #ubuntu-server channel for insights [01:55] they don't. they're using distros with 5 or 10 years until the next required upgrade [01:56] #backbox === fabio is now known as Guest37455 [01:56] like ubuntu LTS and centos or rhel [01:57] dellxps15probz: With the 960M GTX card. Does this imply hybrid graphics ? [01:57] yes [01:57] hybrid [01:59] dellxps15probz: ' sudo lshw -C display ' are both sets of drivers loaded ? [01:59] yes both sets are loaded [01:59] thank you so much, I will try it out and let you know in 2 mins [02:00] Bashing-om, ? I ran that command and only the currently running driver is displayed [02:00] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14990772/ [02:01] dellxps15probz: Looking at the 'configuration' line ... [02:01] cfhowlett: Ouch .. I could be out in left field . [02:02] I thought the only driver you would see would be the currently operating driver ? [02:03] cfhowlett: Well, yeah ... that makes the better sense . the current operating driver . [02:03] Bashing-om, so what command would list all available graphic drivers?? [02:09] cfhowlett: ' sudo ubuntu-drivers list ' to see that list . [02:09] Bashing-om, eh.... nope. it displays the nvidia but not the intel. [02:10] and now this problem is going to nag my brain [02:11] yeah i cant put my output here since im running an HTC tab however in configuration it says driver=nvidia [02:11] and for the intel controller it says driver=i915 [02:11] which seems to be correct [02:11] cfhowlett: Hummm .. yeah as Intel is built into the kernel ?? Take a look at the /var/log/Xorg.0.log to know what the system is doing ? [02:14] Bashing-om, huh. this means that Intel support is rolled into the kernel? http://paste.ubuntu.com/14990845/ [02:14] dellxps15probz: A conflict in Nvidia drivers ? what returns ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ' ? [02:15] a list of all the nvidia drivers [02:17] cfhowlett: That is the way I read it " intel(0): Using Kernel Mode Setting driver: i915, version 1.6.0 20141121 " Kernel mode setting is a kernel thingy, no ? [02:17] one would think. [02:18] dellxps15probz: In that output .. the leading field is the status .. looking at 'ii' is there more than one version listed as 'ii' ? [02:19] Bashing-om, cfhowlett, I fixed my problem. I would like to thank you both sincerely for putting your time and effort into helping me [02:19] dellxps15probz, happy2help! [02:19] i ended up simply deleting /etc/X11/xorg.conf and rebooting and for some reason that worked! [02:19] dellxps15probz, you have been visited by the magical ubuntu elves then. [02:20] dellxps15probz: great ! Not the 1st time I have seem that happen . [02:21] seen* [02:26] dellxps15probz: I can imagine that you will need to regenerate the xorg.conf file with the nvidia driver active . ( that file gets switched out depending on which graphics set is current ) . [02:26] I'm actually doing that right now [02:26] i also think i should just purge the system of the nouveau driver [02:27] to prevent this from ever happening again [02:28] dellxps15probz: Should be no need of purging nouveau as the Nvidia installer will black list it . [02:28] hi my friends [02:28] editor for music [02:28] im back to choppy full screen videos, but I can live with this [02:28] homa_, printed music or recorded? [02:29] dellxps15probz, should not have to. run sudo apt full -upgrade. perhaps a fix is available. [02:29] full-upgrade [02:30] dellxps15probz: Lemme do a bit of checking .. hold on . [02:30] cfhowlett, for music [02:31] homa are you WRITING/READING or RECORDING music?? [02:31] i'm not recording music [02:32] homa_, what / how are you editing ? [02:32] dellxps15probz: Nvidia recommends the 352 version driver : http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/97645/en-us . with some reservations have you tried the 352 version ? [02:33] i have, it was better than the 361. although my system now shows 361 ad recommended === andreh_ is now known as Evol === mkv is now known as m4v [02:35] dellxps15probz: I gather that the system has it's reasons . Seems 352 has it's problems . [02:37] dellxps15probz: Problems only in "some" hardware configurations . you may do well with 352 (??) . [02:38] im going to try the 352 again [02:38] mouse has stopped working [02:39] touchscreen works but for some reason it "double clicks" [02:39] best editor for music , i want separate music [02:39] whole system seems to have slowed down [02:39] it's going to be a long night [02:39] dellxps15probz: K; ' sudo apt purge nvidia* ' to make sure there are no conflicts . [02:41] trying that now [02:41] homa_: Again, sheet music or audio files? [02:41] you think I should install it again first, or reboot then reinstall? [02:41] how do i put redirect output and error into /dev/null? [02:42] mp3 , Jordan_U [02:42] *put** [02:43] dellxps15probz: I suggest install . regenerate the config file . then reboot . [02:44] homa_: "Best" is subjective and depends on your needs but Audacity is a fairly featureful and easy to use editor. [02:44] Jordan_U, thank you [02:45] hey dude [02:46] homa_: You're welcome. === marie1973 is now known as marie1972 === rafael is now known as Guest47767 [02:53] Needing some help getting Qsynth working with jack.

I am generally around . never can tell what I might learn ! [03:13] i'm installing ubuntu latest 64 for the first time i'm on the software selection screen, if i don't select a gui here then i won't have a gui? [03:13] mices kind of how it works , yeah [03:13] mices: what image are you installing from? [03:14] so if i choose ubuntu desktop but not ubuntu gnome desktop i'm gonna have a gui? [03:14] i forget, i just dl'd it, the latest wait ... [03:14] 14.04 desktop? [03:14] 14.04.3 [03:14] yes [03:15] if you go through the typical next, next, finish... you WILL get a gui [03:15] without selecting anything on the software selection screen? [03:15] should do. is this a vm? can u show a screenshot? [03:15] not a vm [03:15] mices, what reason do you have for not selecting a gui? what is your goal? [03:16] i'm installing on my new laptop [03:16] ?? and ? [03:16] i need a gui of course [03:16] this is gonna be my pc, not a server [03:16] so ... select one! [03:16] MartynKeigher says i don't need to it's gonna install one anyway [03:17] did you download the desktop iso? [03:17] if so... then you get a gui. [03:18] yes desktop iso [03:18] then you should be fine. [03:18] what's gonna be my default gui then? [03:18] because ubuntu desktop is an unselected option on this screen [03:19] in 12.04 is gnome iirc [03:19] not sure on 14.04 [03:19] select 'em all, let lightdm sort 'em out [03:19] worse case scenario.. you choose the wrong thing, you reinstall?? [03:19] just go with the gut ;p [03:21] cam newton should have used linux, now look what happened [03:21] what's ubuntu desktop like? [03:21] is it like cinammon? [03:22] mices: ubuntu as opposed to other flavors has unity as the desktop . It is different . [03:23] here's a comparison https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID24jbKCZ5A [03:23] ty [03:23] what ubuntu desktop might resemble cinamon? [03:24] xfce, or you can modify mate by moving the task bar to the bottom and replacing the standard menu with the mint menu plugin [03:24] or kde [03:30] can't install grub bootloader fatal error [03:31] choose the next step in the install process [03:31] install lilo boot loader, continue without boot loader, finish the instllation ... [03:32] what should i do [03:32] mices, lilo? ubuntu default bootloader is grub not lilo. what exactly are you installing [03:33] installation of grub bootloader to hard disk failed fatal error [03:33] i tried twice [03:33] why would it fail ha ha [03:34] i told ubuntu to use the entire disk [03:34] lilo is an option i can select now since grub failed [03:34] i was reading a list of options i have now [03:34] mices: ^^ lilo has not been used in ubuntu in years. again what are you installing ?? [03:34] 14.04.3 [03:34] desktop [03:34] on my laptop [03:34] mices, open a terminal [03:35] how? [03:35] i'm in the middle of an installation [03:35] good bye my friends [03:35] i tried ctrl-alt-f1 [03:36] ok i'm in a terminal now what? [03:36] i won't be able to copy or paste [03:37] mices, lsb_release -a says what? [03:38] it says /bin/sh: lsb_release: not found [03:44] greetings #ubuntu [03:44] how can i remove a apt-source and revert packages? [03:44] goddard, wait 1 [03:45] goddard, this took will do it: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/index.php [03:46] If I install Ubuntu on a Macbook Air (completely wiping away OSX), does that remove the recovery boot option that can be used to reinstall OSX (by holding down the option key on boot) in the future? [03:47] ynix, yes [03:47] "completely wiping away" is your clue. [03:48] cfhowlett: im at a terminal right now [03:48] however, you need not remove the recovery partition [03:48] ynix: you can back it up if you want, though, of course [03:48] goddard, what does this command return: more /etc/issue [03:49] Ok, of course I know that a wipe will remove everything. Was just curious if that partition was on some rom in the computer instead of the SSD, but I guess not. [03:50] ynix, have to ask the mac or OSX experts that [03:50] Yeah I probably should ask over there. [03:51] Has anyone had experience with running on a Macbook Air? I'm afraid that it might be more trouble than its worth. I'm currently emulating Ubuntu in a VM, but the performance is a bit lacking for my taste. [03:51] ynix, try a lighter ubuntu: lubuntu or xubuntu [03:52] It's not really the OS itself that is lagging, mostly the web browsers are. [03:52] It's not much different on Xubuntu, which I've tried out. [03:52] I happen to like Unity a lot. [03:53] Reminds me of OS X's interface in a lot of good ways. [03:54] Ooh, I love when my desktop environment sends search terms to Amazon!

Luckily, Plex and Teamviewer do load as services but I don't want to have a monitor on it constantly. Found a way to enter a dummy monitor in xorg.conf which seems to work.

[04:24] I'm not sure, but that might be a matter of changing your locale [04:25] Well, Plex came back but not TV. Expected though as no video driver is really loaded and TV runs off Wine. If I can get transmission running it will be fine. I can do everything else via cli. [04:25] apt-cache search "'*'" is giving me all package in the repository ? [04:27] not sure if they are all [04:33] jajaja [04:34] found apt-cache search . [04:34] thx === e is now known as otterer [04:38] hey can someone teach me how to remount a drive with no permissions? [04:39] the uid's don't match. things are goofy [04:41] Gallomimia: For most filesystems there is bo such option. Please describe your problem further. [04:52] Jordan_U: the disk is hfs+ and i used to use it on my mac. all the uid's are wrong and some of the folders are marked as "i don't have permission". it's an external drive USB3, and i just want to copy files off it. even r/o would be fine [04:55] Gallomimia, suggestion: assume that you are about to destroy unrecoverable data. image the drive and work on the image, not the source [04:55] copying data off and reformatting is the goal [04:55] same advice ... [04:55] hm. image it. or dupe it to another disk. good idea. [04:55] hm. but that's where i want to copy the data to [04:56] anyway, the drive is a nearly-full 3tb external [04:57] i've got an unformated 3tb internal avail to do this to. should i dd the whole thing or put it in a file? [04:57] How can I remove the 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH is' whenever I SSH into my box? http://paste.ubuntu.com/14991549/ I've checked my sshrc, bashrc and I cannot pinpoint the location that it prints out whenever I connect. [04:57] i don't even know how to mount images in linux :/ [04:57] Gallomimia, I think the recover link addresses this [04:57] Gallomimia, wait 1 [05:02] Gallomimia, http://www.ehow.com/how_4924091_clone-hard-drive-linux.html [05:06] Gallomimia: What type of files are on this drive? Is preserving file attributes important? You can always use "sudo" along with cp or rsync for copying the files. [05:07] Gallomimia: (But for backing up something like an OSX installation making a simple file copy would lose important file attributes) [05:13] Jordan_U: mostly larger data files. movies, stuff like that. file attributes are irrelevant [05:14] it's not an installation, it's my external drive. cold storage === dearn_ is now known as dearn [05:17] I am trying to create a new Windows 7 virtual box VM on my Ubuntu Host machine, but it seems like the VM isn't able to detect my virtual SATA disk image.

[05:26] I understand your blind and all [05:27] we can not help yuload anything on kale [05:27] but save some stupidity for someone else [05:27] no one uses ubuntu their entire life [05:27] am i wrong [05:28] everyone probably thinks I got helped already now because of your trolling behavior [05:29] hey dude. chill out.

[06:04] I am on client server connected using ssh [06:04] i want to know how to copy file from my local machine to client server [06:05] Sonu: probably using scp, unless you wanna use rsync === wahyu is now known as anggini [06:05] also, what's a "client server?" [06:05] LambdaComplex, scp is not working [06:05] LambdaComplex, client's server ? [06:06] So, a server belonging to a client? Works for me [06:06] yes [06:06] Perhaps your original question should have been "Why is scp not working?" though [06:06] Including an error message, of course [06:06] And the exact command you ran [06:06] okay [06:08] LambdaComplex, client server:~#scp sl-004@sl-004:/path of file on my machine /path on server to copy file [06:09] LambdaComplex, getting this error: "ssh: Could not resolve hostname sl-004: Name or service not known" [06:10] Sonu: Please post the exact command you ran, and its complete output. If the file names are really secret then run a test with non secret filenames so that you can give us exact output.

[06:13] LambdaComplex, here is exactly what i am trying "root@forums-staging2:~# scp sl-004@sl-004:/home/sl-004/Downloads/test.php /var/www" [06:14] i am hitting this command with correct file name this is the correct that i have written above [06:14] Sonu: That will attempt to copy "/home/sl-004/Downloads/test.php" from the host "sl-004@sl-004" to the machine from which you are running scp. Is that what you intend? [06:15] Jordan_U," /home/sl-004/Downloads/test.php" this is my local machine path [06:17] Sonu: Then your command is incorrect. Let's start by getting some things clarified. Lets use "local" to mean the machine you're sitting at and "remote" for the client's machine for now, no matter which you're running commands from. [06:17] okay [06:18] Sonu: I assume that you want to copy /home/sl-004/Downloads/test.php from your local machine to /var/www/ on the remote machine. Is that correct? [06:18] yes [06:18] first one is my machine and second path is remote machine [06:19] Sonu: And is the shell you're running scp from running on the local machine or the remote machine? [06:19] yes [06:20] Sonu: That was not a yes or no question. [06:20] Sonu: Is "forums-staging2" the hostname of the local machine or of the remote machine? [06:21] remote machine [06:21] remote machine host name [06:22] right now, i am at the root directory of remote connection. [06:22] Sonu: OK. Then it looks like from what you posted earlier you're trying to run scp from within your ssh session. This is probably not a good idea as it will likely confuse you, and initiating a connection in the other direction may not be possible (due to NAT/firewall) anyway. [06:22] right now, i am at the root directory of remote connection(client_server) [06:22] Sonu: You should open a new terminal on your local machine and run scp from there. [06:23] okay with remote host ? [06:23] Sonu: I don't understand your question, could you please rephrase it? [06:24] Sonu: What Jordan_U is saying is that you should run scp from your local machine _without_ being sshed into the client's machine [06:24] okay LambdaComplex [06:25] Jordan_U, this is example command that i got from internet "scp /home/rob/pictures/donuts/half-eaten.jpg rob@server3:/home/mywebsite.com/public_html/images/" [06:26] And actually, I don't even think we've addressed your original problem [06:26] Which is that scp doesn't know the ip address you're trying to use [06:27] i have to run this command from my local machine and have to put username@host: in above command [06:27] Use the ip address, not the hostname [06:27] LambdaComplex: My guess is that Sonu's local machine isn't even accessible from the internet, but is instead probably behind NAT at their house. [06:28] Jordan_U: Well, that is possible too. But his original command had `sl-004@sl-004` and I doubt that he has that hostname defined in his hosts file [06:29] Hi [06:31] LambdaComplex: I'm almost certain that's the hostname of their local machine, which of course is not available via public DNS. We know that initiating the connection from the local machine works, and have multiple indications that the reverse will fail, so I think we should just stick to connecting from local to remote rather than visa-versa. [06:31] wait let me explain the whole thing.. [06:31] i have created public key then i have connected with client's server using terminal. [06:31] Now i have to copy some files from my local machine to client's server. [06:32] i am hitting this copy command from client's server. Now i am back to my local machine. [06:33] Now what you are saying i have to hit this copy command from my local machine path not the client's server. Is that right ? [06:34] What we're saying is that you do not need to connect to the client's server with the ssh command prior to copying files with the scp command [06:34] So, if I'm understanding you correctly, then yes, you're right === bq_____ is now known as rrr [06:39] LambdaComplex, i am trying but it says Permission denied (publickey). [06:43] Sonu: It is possible your SSH keys on the box may not have the proper permissions. Double check the permissions and check that they key is the correct one. If you're still having issues, try connecting to SSH using verbose mode to find a more detailed error. [06:45] Hi there [06:45] heya [06:45] SergioEDuran1, this is technical support. ask your ubuntu question. [06:46] How to list groups that a user belong to? [06:46] why the indicators' drop downmenus beheaes so strangely when the panel is at the buttom? [06:46] A user can be in multiple groups right? [06:47] barry, group username [06:47] barry, groups username [06:48] Sonu: What is the exact ssh command you used (since that worked)? What is the exact scp command you used? [06:48] cfhowlett: How about list of users under specific group? [06:48] cfhowlett: Thanks btw [06:49] I am using an non Unity DE with the indicators and for example the sound indicator's menu when I start playing some song (when the dropdown menu should be expanded to show the cover art) instead of grow it keeps the size and adds an up arrow at the top and an down arrow at the buttom of the menu [06:50] this is anoying [06:50] well i am on my local machine "sl-004:~$ scp /path to my file clientusername@hostname:/path to copy file on client side" [06:51] I need to put the panel in the top, open the menu and them put it down again to get the menu at the correct size [06:51] How can I remove a login-hook that I can't find in my rc config files? All it says is: "LD_LIBRARY_PATH is" every time I connect with SSH. [06:52] anybody had the same issue? [06:53] barry, gotent group groupname [06:56] barry, grep ^groupname /etc/group also [06:57] Stmeter: bash -x .bashrc [06:57] that may give you a hint as to where that happens === Tronsha is now known as [UPA]Stefan [07:02] Seveas, there is about 1000 lines outputted, anything that can narrow it? Looking roughly at it I don't see anything that has any relation to " LD_LIBRARY_PATH " [07:02] Stmeter: pity. Time for even more debug info: bash -l -x [07:03] Stmeter: Run busybox sh instead of bash from ssh. [07:03] Jordan_U: how the hell is that going to help him find where his bashrc outputs LD_LIBRARY_PATH? [07:04] hello, i have a reproducible small bug. when i install Synaptic it doesnt launch from the menu (Gnome) [07:04] cfhowlett, work like charm. TQ [07:05] only from terminal [07:05] barry, happy2help! [07:05] i tried a few google solutions, didn't work so far.. [07:05] Seveas: I'm not convinced that it's in their bashrc and it will let them run a shell where it's easier to find more information. I was under the impression that there is no local access to this machine and that loging in via ssh (using bash by default) fails completely. [07:06] does anyone have any idea how to get the link to work? [07:06] Seveas: (And busybox is a statically built binary) [07:07] Jordan_U, I have full command line access. Nothing is failing. Seveas, that command found it, I'm attempting to narrow down the exact location. Thank you. [07:08] Stmeter: that'll probably be somewhere in /etc/profile, /etc/profile.d or /etc/bash* then :) [07:08] do you know how to solve this issue with the indicators and the panels in the buttnon? [07:08] otherwise the bash -x .bashrc would have found it. [07:08] I am using Zorin desktop on a vanilla Uuntu [07:08] SergioEDuran1, zorin is not supported here in any way [07:09] Seveas: /etc/profile it was. Wondering how it got there.... [07:09] cfhowlett but it uses the Unity's indicators [07:10] Stmeter: probably the bug gnats. They rifle through your files at night and leave droppings :) [07:10] Stmeter: What was the exact line? [07:10] this issue also occuts in other DEs like MATE (wich I tried) [07:10] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14992015/ [07:10] what can I do to solve this issue with the indicators' size and button panels? [07:11] SergioEDuran1, for assistance with zorin, go to zorin. for assistance with ubuntu, install ubuntu. [07:11] it is VANILLA UBUNTU [07:11] also in the zorin IRC there are only 7 users [07:12] SergioEDuran1, if have zorin, it is NOT vanilla ubuntu because zorin is not ubuntu.

[07:13] the Unity indicators are from Ubuntu [07:13] and Unity is supported here [07:13] SergioEDuran1: And your problem is related to the desktop environment.

A computer's BIOS is generally just some very basic settings and a set of instructions to help other software, like your operating system, communicate with the hardware. [08:49] optimistic7: It would of course depend on the computer. I would assume "some" of them have an option to wipe or format a drive, like mobile devices can "wipe" their storage and restore a factory default image, etc. [08:52] actually i broke my system, and i want to format my harddisk. I can't boot into my os. i have no option to delete my data? [08:52] how to fix it? [08:52] Just use something like GParted Live. Put it on a thumb drive or burn it to a CD and boot from that. [08:53] It is basically a minimalist Linux Live CD that runs in RAM and lets you create and delete partitions, reformat drives, etc. [08:53] hi guys, I have little problem with my Ubuntu. when I start PC, take a long time to boot. after few sec.

[08:54] but how can i delete my old data, actually it is windows xp data? [08:54] You could even use the Ubuntu installer if you have one. Just boot the Ubuntu disc and when it has the options to "Try" or "Install" just click "Try" and when you get to the desktop, just click on the menu and open the "Disks" program and you can use that to do the same thing. [08:54] Hie guys, How do i recieve http posts in a wordpress plugin [08:55] When you delete a partition the data is effectively deleted. If you're really paranoid about it, I believe GParted has an option to overwrite blank space with zeroes, but don't quote me on that, I haven't used it in a while. [08:55] When you delete a partition and create a new one in its place, when you mount it, it will be empty. [08:55] Thanx [08:57] Hello.

[09:17] !info nessus [09:17] Package nessus does not exist in wily [09:17] Mathisen, try ##security for that [09:17] i did they did not seem to want to give me a answer [09:18] Mathisen, thats such a broad topic, not really an ubuntu support issue [09:18] !info openvas [09:18] Package openvas does not exist in wily [09:18] I just had a fresh Ubuntu 15.04 installation. I made 4 partitions and I didn't auto mount them while installation. Therefore, I'm unable to copy and paste data into those drives. I'm suspecting that they've become read-only. How can I fix it? [09:18] i was just after asking for some recomdations [09:19] Mathisen, poll in the offtopic channel please [09:22] how do you setup gdm and kdm to allow remote chooser over the network [09:24] Hi. I'm using Ubuntu 15.10 and from yesterday it's unable to start. It says that it couldn't start lightdm and "A Start Job is Running for Wait Plymouth to Quit" [09:26] Eightynine: How long have you waited for? [09:26] When I saw it first I waited for 1:30 and the second time it was more then 2 minutes. [09:29] I'm on kernel 3.16. I'm trying to remove some leftover kernels and it wants to install 3.13. why? [09:29] As I thought it's greeter problem. I booted LiveCD, opened lightdm's log http://pastebin.com/n9kxs1p0 [09:29] good morning by the way [09:30] Good morning. [09:30] Eightynine: It's possible that it will time out eventually, I would wait at least 10 minutes, and before pulling the plug use sysrq magic. Are you able to log in via another tty when this happens? [09:30] !sysrq | Eightynine [09:30] Eightynine: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [09:30] I tried to login to tty, input some commands I found in Google and it doesn't react [09:31] whats something i can run to force the gpu to get hot and run the fan [09:31] Eightynine: What is the most recent error message from "journalctl"? [09:31] Can I reinstall lightdm from tty and disable Plymouth? [09:32] cannot determine display-device [09:35] azizLIGHT: 30 instances of glxgears maybe? Why? [09:37] Eightynine: "systemctl status plymouth"? [09:37] Jordan_U: how do i do this fast besides typing it in 30 times [09:38] I can't do that, I'm in Linux Mint LiveCD, which has Upstart and systemd is not activated. [09:38] azizLIGHT: First, make sure that sysrq is enabled and you don't have anything important open in case this locks up your machine. [09:40] Jordan_U: seems like its using my cpu more than gpu [09:40] azizLIGHT: while read; do glxgears &; done [09:41] azizLIGHT: Are you sure that you have accelerated drivers installed? [09:41] * enyc wonders who can't label 14.10 correctly on http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ [09:41] * enyc wonders who to report bug about old-releases.ubuntu.com to =) [09:41] Jordan_U: i have the ppa with the nvidia drivers on [09:42] Jordan_U: im looking, it looks like its using both cpu and gpu at 100% [09:42] so ill wait till temperature rises now [09:42] enyc: I'd be tempted to mention that in #ubuntu-website [09:43] enyc: Or maybe #ubuntu-devel (I think) [09:45] GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true should I change it to false? [09:46] Eightynine: Do you want a countdown when grub is waiting but the menu is hidden? [09:47] Yes, I've read that if you press E in menu you can go to recovery, but I have no that menu. [09:48] Eightynine: BIOS or UEFI? [09:48] BIOS. [09:49] Eightynine: Hold shift during boot to see the grub menu. [09:49] Thanks. Which greeter should I install to make lighdm to work? === ross is now known as Guest86612 [09:51] buongiorno [09:51] Eightynine: I would first try switching from lightdm to gdm.

[13:01] well I prefer something that has the same design [13:02] take a look at Pencil, AlexPortable . probably the "simplest" of the linux drawing tools. [13:03] libreoffice Draw is another option [13:03] thats a gui prototyping tool [13:03] i'm more looking into something to edit images a bit [13:04] guys would you agree that LibreOffice is better than OpenOffice? [13:04] mothership, yes. more actively developed [13:05] Hey folks [13:06] What is good software to create a map with photo's I made on a certain location and date? So I can click on the map and see where I traveled each day [13:08] AlexPortable, best bet: extract the exif information and see if you can inject it into open maps [13:08] openstreetmap.org [13:09] What is good "Windows photo viewer" alternative on Ubuntu? [13:09] shotwell [13:09] cfhowlett: well I would have to do that by hand then. Can I also make a path and photo's that are clickable with it? [13:10] AlexPortable, "by hand"?? extracting exif is point and click ... [13:10] no i mean the exif doesn't contains gps location [13:11] ahhh [13:11] so i would have to add that by hand [13:11] Hello all. [13:11] http://www.photoplace.io/img/portfolio/PhotoPlace_011.jpg [13:12] I have a question. How easy is it to install GNU Cash into Ubuntu not through the software centre? (I'm at the library and I don't have internet at my ubuntu computer) [13:13] Benami: do you have any other machine with the same version of ubuntu, connected to the internet? [13:14] AlexPortable, interesting problem! I suggest you post this to /r/opensourcephotography and the G+ group. I seem to recall this is doable but looking for the link [13:14] AlexPortable, OK, darktable has a geotagging function which you can apply to a group of photos [13:15] No. I just have the one machine. The closest thing I have would be my Android phone lol [13:15] Is it a difficult process? [13:16] I've got the gnucash-2.6.11.tar.bz2 downloaded and saved onto my memory stick, but something tells me it's not going to be a process made simple lol [13:16] Benami: if you have your phone, cant you just tether the machine? [13:16] cfhowlett: darktable is a program? [13:16] AlexPortable, right. I think you are looking at tagging in an external app then loading to the maps [13:16] AlexPortable, yes, photo editing [13:16] !darktable | AlexPortable [13:16] Well this computer is old. You mean run the phone's internet through the computer? Can that be done via USB? [13:16] well the screenshot I sent you is from photoplace [13:16] http://www.photoplace.io/ [13:17] but this only works with inserted GPS data into the photo [13:17] AlexPortable, darktable doesn't care where the gps data comes from [13:17] Benami: if the phone supports USB tethering it should be pretty painless [13:18] Benami: if you have a working internet connection all you need to do is "sudo apt-get install gnucash" [13:18] AlexPortable, I must still be missing something. does photoplace NOT do what you want? [13:18] To be honest, I never really thought that was an option given the computer's age and general over complication lol I'll research it now. [13:18] maybe im the problem here not working out how it works [13:18] Benami: if you have the source (as you said) then you still need build-essential and all the dev files gnucash expects [13:18] Benami, http://jeffhoogland.blogspot.jp/2010/06/howto-installing-ubuntu-packages.html [13:19] Benami: so... getting an internet connection on your laptop is probably least painful option [13:19] Dears: any one help me how to remove public from URL in laravel??? [13:19] some one help me...! [13:19] lol thanks hateball, and Ill check that link out now cfhowlett [13:19] Benami: Perhaps your phone supports hotspot functionality, that's even easier than usb tether [13:19] cfhowlett: There are no geotagged photos!, I cannot do anything!. Load a GPX file or select a folder with geotagged photos. [13:19] Well my computer doesn't have wifi [13:19] Any one who worked as a laravel developer. [13:20] AlexPortable, right, so you must 1. tag with geolocation 2. load to map [13:20] how do i tag with geolocation? [13:20] hussain_, check your channel. this is ubuntu support not laravel [13:20] Benami: ah, then you need usb tethering [13:20] AlexPortable, as I said: darktable has that functionality [13:20] Ok thank you. [13:20] Yeah ha :/ [13:20] cfhowlett well you said "does photoplace NOT do what you want?" [13:24] hi all i need a help anybody help me with proxy ? [13:25] hi, is there any init script for ucarp available? it looks like just the binary itself is installed with apt-get install ucarp and you have to write your own run scripts to daemonize ucarp. anyone using ucarp? [13:28] when i use windows.. no problem install proxy, when i use linux/ubuntu no problem.. but exist proxy server for my website in hosting ? [13:28] AlexPortable, I looked through all the options in the ubuntu studio photography menu. Processing the geolocation in darktable seems your best option for the first part of your task. [13:29] Hello. [13:29] for example i have www.proxydomain.com and i need use www.proxydomain.com:port for any PC.. can i use it exist it ? [13:30] I'm resizing my main partition, how exactly do I do that? :) [13:30] Java_: liveboot, use gparted [13:31] Java_, DO NOT edit the partition from the system you are booted into [13:31] hateball: Sounds good. If I'm gonna install Windows on that partition do I make the filesystem NTFS? [13:31] cfhowlett: Yeah definitely :O [13:31] !dualboot | Java_ [13:31] Java_: 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 [13:32] Restoring the MBR seems like the only obstacle I have. [13:33] 'Mount your root partition in the Live CD' [13:33] cfhowlett: first part? [13:34] AlexPortable, coding the images with location tags [13:34] and doesn't windows installer let you partition? [13:34] Java_: why do you need mbr? [13:34] AlexPortable: I have no idea. [13:40] hello everyone! i was tring to compile `Maze of Glarious remake v0.63`. I downloaded source from `http://www.g4g.it/2012/05/25/the-maze-of-galious-remake/`. I also installed dependencies as indicated in `INSTALL` file in the downloaded source directory. Now when i ran `make` in terminal in source directory, i got a bunch of errors. Among them one was `undefined reference to `SDL_GetTicks'`. i should not get this error as i've in [13:40] stalled `libsdl1.2-dev` package (ubuntu ver.: trusty) and sdl_getticks is in the package. can anyone help me? === Guest46425 is now known as mosene [13:41] Looking for a good tool that can show clicks (like adding a red box, when stuff is cliked), for doing screencasts. Any ideas? [13:42] recordmydesktop MarkusDB1 [13:42] MarkusDB1: kazam can record too, but not sure about the clicks stuff [13:43] MarkusDB1: screenkey and key-mon seem to fit that description. I'm not sure if other screencast tools do it out of the box though. [13:44] There's a compiz plugin that can give you feedback on clicks iirc === mohammad is now known as linuxlove [13:44] cfhowlett: lotuspsychje Pici hateball : Thanks all.

[13:46] lotuspsychje, no from a script netbeans.sh [13:47] I have just mounted a new hard drive but when I try to 'cd' into the '/media/movies' I am told permission denied [13:47] lotuspsychje, what should i do? [13:47] linuxlove: its recommended to use the version, specific for your ubuntu versions from repos [13:48] How do I gain access to it? [13:48] linuxlove: try also the #netbeans channel [13:48] BlackVenom: How did you mount it? [13:48] What filesystem is it? [13:48] hey rilleh [13:49] It's a HDD with existing data on it with the ext4 filesystem on it [13:50] I manually mounted it with 'sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/movies [13:50] Easiest would be just to change permission on the files on it [13:50] hello again. i've installed `mazeofgalious` package. But the game reports error: ERROR in Sound_create_sound(): Could not load sound file: (null)gamestart.(wav|ogg|mp3). what should i do to solve this error? [13:51] kutu_, ask the developer. [13:52] thanks cfhowlett [13:52] This is what I thought rilleh [13:53] BlackVenom: Well, what's the permission of /media/movies? [13:53] If I do 'ls -l /media/movies' the owner = root and the group = users [13:53] Check with `ls -l /media` and see if your user has read perms [13:54] So I added my user, simon to the users group and still can't gain access [13:55] What are the permissions? [13:55] Of /media/movies [13:55] ls -la /media/movies/ [13:55] got a remote ubuntu server, I did init 6 and now i get connection refused... which channel should I ask at?

[14:05] !sudo | lerner [14:05] BlackVenom: That + sign in the end is worrying [14:05] lerner: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !pkexec (for older releases: !gksu and !kdesudo). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [14:05] What does 'getfacl' say?

[14:10] sudo lerner: ls -l directory [14:10] erm: lerner: sudo ls -l directory [14:12] rilleh, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14993301/ [14:15] BlackVenom: You can also try to remount it with some more options [14:15] http://askubuntu.com/questions/286571/cant-open-second-hard-disk-permission-denied [14:16] rilleh, I can access this folder http://paste.ubuntu.com/14993323/ [14:16] Or setfacl -d [14:17] Yeah, that looks better === RaptorJesus_ is now known as RaptorJesus [14:17] how do I return to user from "sudo -s"?

[14:24] welovfree: it's listing them - manually install them and you'll get more info as to why they can't be installed [14:25] I suspect you're installing this from a PPA [14:25] and the PPA is either ill managed of conflicts [14:25] welovfree: you may also want to run apt-get install -f on it's own [14:26] it looks like your prevsious chrome install caused some problems [14:26] ikonia, now it's working, wine is being downloaded. Yeah that command worked [14:26] ikonia, can you tell me what that command did? I mean apt-get install -f [14:27] it finishes incomplete installs [14:27] ikonia, what do you mean by finished? completes the installation of that package? or get rid of it since it didn't install correctly === lm_ is now known as Guest32364 [14:29] welovfree: fixes whatever didn't complete in the installation [14:30] apache2 from repo is 2.4.7 while the latest is 2.4.18, how can I install the most up to date one, 2.4.18?

[14:35] Java_ Try OBS, its available for linux, mac and windows. https://obsproject.com/ [14:37] I'm trying to connect to a windows share from my ubuntu machine via the files->connect to server option.. but when I fill out the login information for it, the 'password required' window comes back up with no title and everything grayed out except for the buttons [14:37] barry: Looks good. [14:37] how can i fix this and get access to my windows share on ubuntu? :/ [14:37] list [14:44] Im newbie. Does using packages from PPA on production machine is very risky? [14:44] barry, depends on the PPA [14:45] exit [14:48] is that possible that openvpn is not working from one location and works from another? === penutgelo is now known as xboxplasma [14:50] Download from ubuntu repository is very slow.

But when it will be fix how should I reboot? [14:59] ion refused [15:00] ignore this [15:03] LurkAshFlake: from a command line? I usually use "shutdown -r now" or simply "reboot".

I've got a virtual and canonical mapping going, and I want to restrict sending email to ONLY be allowed from addresses in virtual/canonical db [15:37] how? [15:37] currently i've used smtpd_sender_restrictions = reject_unauth_pipelining permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated reject_unauth_destination reject_unlisted_sender reject_rbl_client cbl.abuseat.org reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net [15:37] but to no avail [15:38] !postfix | necrophcodr start here [15:38] necrophcodr start here: postfix is the default !MTA and !MDA on Ubuntu. For help, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto - See also !MailServer [15:39] MonkeyDust: already did, using a custom main.cf along with some other stuff, and virtualmin on top of that configuration for automatic updating the canonical and virtual db. [15:40] necrophcodr is that a sever? if yes, there's also #ubuntu-server [15:40] got an odd chicken-egg problem with 14.04: users are centrally authenticated, so they need a network to log in, but they seem to be blocked form changing the wifi settings before they log in.... and if i set up the connection and save it so everyone can access it, i have to save it with a username, which they need to provide. can i somehow de-privilage the wifi settings? [15:40] it is indeed. thanks, i'll have a look there as well.

[15:43] llutz: the issue is that requires manual updating, and, afaik, doesn't work with webmin/virtualmin. otherwise i'd happily use it just as well [15:43] !webmin | necrophcodr [15:43] necrophcodr: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [15:43] necrophcodr: write a script to update sender_filter from virtual/canonical [15:43] I tried uninstalling and then install a later update but nothing seems to have worked what can i do to get network working again [15:43] necrophcodr: and yes, drop webmin :) [15:44] cfhowlett: i'm glad to know, unfortunately it doesn't solve my issue [15:44] i'd happily drop it, but with a few thousand sites, it's not just out of the door [15:44] earlier update not later update [15:48] can someone help me? [15:48] Guest73806 wifi or cable? [15:49] it is cable [15:49] thanks [15:49] Guest73806, what ubuntu version?

[16:00] helioop, you trust your users that much? [16:01] Guest73806 use your backups [16:01] when I first start up? [16:01] The users are centrally authenticated, they need to connect before they can log in. [16:02] i tried that but it made no difference. like Ubuntu then a long line of previous installations is that the backups? [16:02] also, we have puppet, if it gets bricked, no biggie. [16:03] Guest73806, depends on how you set your backups [16:03] well I guess I never set up backups its linux why would I ? he thought stupidly. [16:04] Guest73806 now you know why [16:04] I did find a backup in the main desktop last week after i had screwed it all up if that is what you are refering to. to late now [16:05] help [16:05] the fallback-fallback plan is to just set up a user on our domain for connecting to the wifi only, but I'm still kinda hoping theres a less terrible way.

[16:08] windows is already installed [16:08] and no, there's no uefi active as for now [16:08] Guest73806, "it"? how about on a USB [16:08] no usb will not run wifi either [16:08] Felishia: are you gonna dualboot or singleboot ubuntu? [16:09] Guest73806, false. [16:09] lotuspsychje, there's not even a moment in which it allows me to pick, I only choose install ubuntu and it restart [16:09] plus the same happens with debian [16:09] not sure I understand false? [16:09] I just tried [16:09] Guest73806: what is your native language? [16:09] English [16:10] it says more, it says loading the kernel, and then boom, restart [16:10] Felishia: lets try again...do you 'want' to install ubuntu single, or dualboot with windows? [16:10] lotuspsychje, single... [16:10] are you saying download the file and sudo will find it in the USB or were you saying use USB to get wifi running from a toggle? [16:11] Felishia: ok good, you need to disable fastboot and secureboot before you install ubuntu on uefi machine [16:11] checking [16:11] Guest73806: sudo is not the command [16:11] Guest73806: you still need to tell us some facts about the system. [16:12] in terminal you have to type sudo and then all the other parts of the script but it comes back saying cannot find the deb file I just need to know where it is looking for the file? [16:12] Guest73806: which script? [16:12] !sudo | Guest73806 [16:12] Guest73806: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli).

[16:13] Guest73806, specifics? [16:13] k1l, don't think he understands linux nomenclature and command context [16:14] another question: does anyone know a "good" way to automatically mount cifs shares? having a credentials file is crazy sloppy(i shouldnt need to deal with anyones plaintext passwords. ever.), pam_mount has proven to be flakey and disconnects the shares for no apparant reason, relogging the machine every month kinda sucks. [16:14] BluesKaj, yeah, kind of got that. [16:14] think he means terminal responses to his commands [16:14] well its difficult to give specifics when you cannot got on the system while on the internet do you not think? [16:14] =script [16:15] Guest73806 we need to know *something* [16:15] I have a fairly unique problem. when i stream music to my bluetooth speakers from my ubuntu laptop, my internet turns to crap [16:15] Guest73806, and yet you are happily banging away at some script that you still haven't told us about. [16:15] Guest73806: you said you are online with that system booting a mint dvd right now [16:15] if i turn off bluetooth and stream stuff on youtube, i get speeds of 5 MB/s+ (i have a network indicator so i know this is correct) [16:16] test [16:16] but with bluetooth on, while streaming to those speakers, i get like 20 KB/s [16:16] hi [16:16] !test | s1ck-sec, [16:16] s1ck-sec,: Testing...

[16:18] the same one that has the problem [16:18] Guest73806: yes but which one? what's the model number? [16:19] its a home made pc all parts from Newegg [16:19] Guest73806: this is likely to happen if your computer's wifi drivers are not fully compatible with ubuntu (i have the same problem) [16:19] every time i run an ubuntu update, i have to reinstall my wifi drivers [16:19] its been running for years now [16:19] until this update [16:19] they are not special drivers and I have lan [16:19] Guest73806: right. it's probably not the drivers then, but it won't harm if you just try installing them again anyway [16:20] okay [16:20] Guest73806: use an older kernel [16:20] there are no drivers its ubuntu network [16:20] ??? [16:20] so if i try running it as a 16 bit deb file it should work [16:21] 16bit deb file ? [16:21] Guest73806: what's going on ? [16:21] 16 bit?!? [16:21] there are two deb files right 32 bit and 16bit [16:22] 32 and 64 probably [16:22] ok sorry [16:23] you can double click them to install [16:24] eric if you are talking to me about double click i did that but I guess the newer one overrides it as it says there is a newer one installed [16:24] I have a fairly unique problem. when i stream music to my bluetooth speakers from my ubuntu laptop, my internet turns to crap [16:24] if i turn off bluetooth and stream stuff on youtube, i get speeds of 5 MB/s+ (i have a network indicator so i know this is correct) [16:24] but with bluetooth on, while streaming to those speakers, i get like 20 KB/s [16:24] any debugging methods i can try to see what's exactly up with this? [16:24] Guest73806, try rebooting and select an old version [16:24] Guest73806: what exactly is the deb file? [16:25] I tried that reboot a 100 times [16:25] did you try an older kernel?

[16:36] Guest73806: the site you gave says that by manually entering the wireless stuff in /etc/network/interfaces they were able to connect, so it might not be a driver problem, it's a networkmanager problem or a wpa_supplicant problem most likely [16:36] cfhowlett: :( [16:37] eric when network manager comes up the options click boxes seem to be grayed out so i cannot select the boxes [16:38] I knew it was a network problem it was someone else who kept saying it was a driver problem thanks [16:39] hi [16:39] Mee to.

[17:35] remember i am out the Ubuntu system [17:35] shlant: i'd guess you need to add a "su root syslog" to your logrotate-conf-file [17:36] llutz: $ cat /etc/logrotate.conf | grep su [17:36] su root syslog [17:36] or to the consul file?

[17:42] gjung: read " man stty" stty -F /dev/ [17:42] so mu computer had an heart attack or should i say kernal 'panic attack' [17:42] and i think the problem is kernal cant find root partation. [17:43] rizi: what happened? in detail on one line (also it's a kernel) [17:43] ok [17:43] Eric i think had those already by the look of things [17:44] daftykins, it cant find root partation as if uuid of my disk changed [17:44] but have a second copy now [17:44] Guest73806: ok, are you in the dir that they're in?

[18:16] i can see only 500 line [18:16] on vim [18:16] :( [18:17] so i boot up the grub window comes up do I go into an installation or go to command line first [18:17] rizi: i'm not convinced sda3 would be your / - care to pastebin a "sudo parted -l" ? ( http://paste.ubuntu.com ) [18:17] there is setting that can see many row on terminal? i can see only 500 line on terminal [18:17] :( [18:18] daftykins, okay [18:19] Thanks guys sorry for confusing stuff with the mint dvd I was just trying to get online. [18:19] Ah! comfortably reached again using usb tethering - Seeking help to get WiFi work in my Acer, Aspire E5-573 OS ubuntu15.04 [18:19] jackcom, see terminal > preferences > profile, i have 8291 lines scrollback set standard [18:19] gjung: dmesg give you the setting from boottime, not the actual [18:20] gjung: check timestamp in dmesg-output [18:20] Guest73806: just bear in mind if that's what you use, they have their own channel :) [18:20] OerHeks: how about unlimited? [18:21] ok mom [18:21] I am running 15.04 in my Acer aspire E5-573 But Wifi is down Pleaase help. [18:21] yeah i get that but i use Ubuntu [18:21] ksbalaji: 15.04 is EOL. [18:21] jackcom, not sure, maybe just disable the scrollback limit? [18:21] ksbalaji: so there's no point fixing it, feel free to upgrade to a supported release [18:21] thanks OerHeks :) [18:22] jackcom, you might need to restart terminal to take effect [18:22] ksbalaji upgae first, then ask again [18:22] upgrade* [18:22] ok thanks OerHeks :) [18:22] ok. to 15.10? [18:22] 15.10 is a supported release, yes. [18:22] ok thanks [18:23] llutz : i reboot the machine but nothing change [18:24] if you are finished with me Eric thanks very much I will go and try booting my system [18:24] I want to make "ls -l" always be "ls -l with-time=long-iso". Tried putting an alias for this in bashrc but it seems like alias do not work with parameters is this correct? how can I accomplish what I am looking for? [18:24] gjung: you cannot change that value, you only change the actual speed [18:24] KlausedSource: the #bash folks can probably help with that, most likely you issued the alias wrong [18:25] but nothing change [18:26] gjung: how do you check the speed? [18:26] gjung: the actual speed [18:27] hey is there a conventional name for the /var/run/ folder? i'm calling it the "pid folder" right naow :D [18:27] KlausedSource: you can define a function, then make "ls" an alias to that function [18:28] dmesg | grep tty [18:28] mcphail, how would that work? never done functions in bash [18:29] mcphail, I assume by "define a function" you are refering to bash [18:29] gjung: dmesg DOESN'T tell you the actual speed setting. use stty/setserial to read the setting [18:31] KlausedSource: yes. You just define a function in bash like "afunction() { do stuff here }" and add it to bashrc. Then alias ls to that function. Your function would have to parse parameters and either pass the unhindered to the _real_ ls or (if you select -l) add your extra parameter. Rather messy, but it would work [18:31] daftykins, here is the output of sudo parted -l paste.ubuntu.com/14995219/ [18:32] can you tel me the comand [18:32] gjung: i did." sudo stty -F /dev/ttyS0" [18:32] KlausedSource: what most people would do, though, is just create a new alias for your "ls -l whateverelse" command (i.e. lsll) [18:33] rizi: you're dual booting? i see a tiny 23GB NTFS partition [18:33] Hey all! [18:33] daftykins, yes that recovery partition of my laptop. however i am not using windows right now [18:34] rizi: can you run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit smartmontools" selecting 'no configuration' when prompted, then "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit" ? [18:34] ok now it says speed 9600 baud; line = 0 [18:34] sudo gtkterm [18:35] gjung: try " sudo stty -F /dev/ttyS0 38400" then read it again "sudo stty -F /dev/ttyS0" === ubuntu-gnomer is now known as omer2 [18:35] gjung: doesnt that gtkterm has own setting-dialogs? [18:35] daftykins, humm let me try [18:38] daftykins, plus this problem has occurred before, that time just deleted the partation and reinstalled the OS [18:38] can i make a live usb that keeps settings and files over boots? [18:38] to use on multiple computers? [18:39] rizi: yeah that's not a solution, run the above commands so we can see if there is an issue with your hard disk. [18:39] omer2: running an OS on a persistent flash drive isn't very good [18:39] ok it works thanks [18:39] daftykins, thank. so it's just not a good idea? [18:39] omer2 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [18:39] Anyone tried this - http://limbomedia.net/limbodns.php [18:39] i personally wouldn't advise it, no [18:40] Hey guys, where are my themes located? [18:40] HamRadio ~/.themes [18:40] I have installed the Numix theme, but it's not in .themes [18:41] MonkeyDust, I know that, but I have the Numix theme installed via their PPA, and it isn't located in ~/.themes [18:41] HamRadio /usr/share/themes/ [18:41] HamRadio type locate numix [18:43] Hi, how do I subscribe to mailing list [18:43] ? [18:43] GauravShukla #ubuntu-offtopic [18:43] where to post screen shot doubt [18:44] kknight imgur;com [18:44] kknight: imgur.com then show the link here [18:44] kknight imgur.com [18:48] rizi: any luck? should've taken 30 seconds [18:49] daftykins, yes should done in few min [18:49] hi [18:49] ah, you must be on a 14.4Kbps modem :) [18:49] does someone have insights about Intel Skylake cpus? How does it behave under Ubuntu? [18:50] I would appreciate help very much [18:50] melodie: #linux would be more appropriate for such a question imo [18:50] daftykins I don't think so [18:50] this is purely a matter of insight within the Ubuntu community [18:50] ok, well you're welcome to disagree... but since the kernel defines the support... i don't think there are any issues. [18:51] here it says otherwise, but it's of last august: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=intel-skl-prelim-support [18:51] skylake cpus have freezing issues and need a fix in the kernel for it. [18:51] yes that's irrelevant [18:51] k1l ah ! [18:51] k1l: are you referring to the high load prime95 issue discovered? [18:52] k1l for a computer which needs to be built in the next week and will use Ubuntu (Kubuntu) only, which powerful CPU would you suggest? [18:52] you would need to define the use case for it [18:53] melodie: dont know. not using consumer pcs. [18:53] 'consumer' ? :) [18:54] daftykins he wants it to be highly snappy for his current needs among which the more greedy is image work with Gimp (I suspect he will also have libreoffice, firefox, and other greedy apps running at same time) all needs to be working well together [18:55] those are all low end base examples a several year old system could work fine with [18:55] really, greedy apps ?? [18:55] greedy browsers om nom nom [18:56] 1 speedfix for any pc would be a SSD, or better NVM Express-ssd [18:56] a [18:57] Hello! [18:57] daftykins yes sure, just recent ones could probably do less well, but as he wants a new machine without any windows, I have to pick up right for now, and for the new few years [18:57] I could really use some help if someone knows how to modify the ~/.bashrc file well =p [18:57] hi ric [18:57] daftykins, this pastebin is giving problem saying " Bad API request; invalid api_dev_key" [18:57] rice_ what do you want to modify in the .bashrc? [18:58] melodie: well if you provide systems for a living, then this is your job :) [18:58] I've modified it, - my host name. Nothing seems to change it's color. [18:58] daftykins, should i just pipe it to a file and then past it manually [18:58] rizi: ok, run "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda" instead and paste it by hand, please [18:58] Can I pm you? [18:58] rizi: yep that'd work too [18:58] daftykins, on it [18:59] rice_: http://bashrcgenerator.com/ [19:00] daftykins this is a test, if I can do it well, it could become a job :) [19:00] llutz, I'm on about changing colors. [19:00] and providing Linux boxes without any Windows is also tricky [19:00] rice_: or for the few people, prefering reading: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/ [19:00] llutz, I know exactly how, but since I'm running i3wm nothing seems to change for me. [19:01] good ol' i3, the breaker of things [19:01] daftykins, here is the result paste.ubuntu.com/14995548 [19:01] rice_: does your wm read ~/.bashrc at all when starting a terminal? [19:01] llutz, how can I see if it does? [19:02] rizi: yes you're likely encountering issues as that disk has started to fail - it needs to be replaced [19:02] rice_: set a testvar, check it [19:02] daftykins, what would you recommend for rizing? [19:02] ricing? [19:02] daftykins, humm so what does SMART says [19:02] making rice? i don't follow - nor why you're asking me [19:02] ricing* [19:03] daftykins, I was just asking randomly since you knew i3 xD [19:03] i know everyone has issues with it. [19:03] yeah [19:03] rizi: line 73, Current_Pending_Sector is at 45, so that disk has issues [19:03] I have had no issues with i3. :/ [19:03] daftykins, was thinking about 2bwm but it seems to be complicated [19:03] rizi: you need to backup your data to another drive and replace it ASAP [19:04] Hi! [19:04] Anthonux, hi =) [19:04] i am running ubunu gnome on an old thinkpad R500. so far it has been ok, but it froze before when using FF. I canceled now the animations, anything else I could do? [19:04] How are u ? [19:04] I could not empty trash. is there a way to do that to force empty it? [19:04] Anthonux: support only in here, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic :) [19:04] daftykins, what i actually want to know is looking at this output how to find if the disk i am working with is having problem. what to look for, [19:05] Hi am the guest who had the problem with the network manager Eric helped me amoungst many others. I ran the scrpt and it was successfull. [19:05] Galommia Can you help me again ? [19:05] rizi: this is something which comes with experience. [19:05] daftykins, humm [19:06] I may have been using the wrong terminal or slightly mistyped the script i ran it in termx is that only one that will alter the packages? [19:06] rizi: seeing anything other than 0 for Reallocated sectors, current pending sectors, or reallocated sectors tends to be good evidence of an issue - then errors can be written beneath the table of data, too [19:06] Anyway thanks for everyones input running Ubuntu again and not Mint [19:06] DVD [19:07] daftykins, okay i have an another old HD which i can test this way. [19:07] belrick: when you keep saying that it sounds like a lie :P [19:07] Anyone help me with trash not being able to empty under normal user? [19:07] ok well its not it fixed my net manager [19:07] supersmilers: that sounds like you ran nautilus with sudo :/ [19:07] bye [19:08] llutz, seems like ~ isn't on that site for some reason [19:08] daftykins, thank you very much is there anything I can do for you [19:09] Buenas tardes, hay alguna manera de utiliza la tarjeta de red de un portatil en VMWare? [19:09] k1l: I tried running nautilus without sudo and it doesn't empty a folder in there. [19:09] no thanks :) all good here - it's what this volunteering is all about! [19:09] augusto: english only, or #ubuntu-es #ubuntu-pt [19:10] supersmilers: because you did mess with your system running as sudo. [19:10] Ok, thanks [19:10] hello [19:10] would a kind fellow generously dump a cat of their /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-greeter-wrapper.conf? [19:10] I want a livecd to test if an old touchscreen would work on linux [19:10] but I don't have a dvd handy [19:10] LaPingvino usb [19:11] which derivative would you recommend that still fits on a cd? [19:11] supersmilers: "cd .local/share/Trash" in terminal and delete the files [19:11] only lubuntu does i think [19:11] tnx :) [19:11] and even then probably only an overburnt one [19:11] I did download that one though [19:11] yes exactly [19:11] would a kind fellow generously dump a cat of their /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-greeter-wrapper.conf? [19:11] from my crouton install it refuses to burn [19:11] you need the largest capacity CD-Rs capable of overburning too, yeah - so flash drive would be best. [19:12] darrens, [SeatDefaults] [19:12] greeter-wrapper=/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-greeter-session [19:12] f [19:12] I saw xbmcbuntu being in the right size though [19:12] without that last "f" [19:12] squinty: thank you man. much appreciated. [19:12] squinty http://paste.ubuntu.com/14995702/ [19:12] Anyone that knows how to set so I can use CTRL + ALT instead of ALT GR for ~, ][, }{, etc. [19:12] for testing touchscreen capability that should work right? [19:12] darrens http://paste.ubuntu.com/14995702/ [19:13] ah kodibuntu now :) [19:13] LaPingvino mind: kodibuntu is not supported here [19:14] no problem [19:14] I fixed it by deleting the file under ".local/share/Trash" via "sudo" nautilus [19:14] Anyone that knows how to set so I can use CTRL + ALT instead of ALT GR for ~, ][, }{, etc. [19:14] I find my way out anyway, I am capable of supporting my own stuff === aether is now known as aethersis [19:14] it's just for testing [19:14] supersmilers: stop running sudo with gui programs from now on [19:15] LaPingvino: kodi won't do anything touch [19:16] daftykins, Anyone that knows how to set so I can use CTRL + ALT instead of ALT GR for ~, ][, }{, etc.? [19:16] daftykins: it's just about kernel support for me [19:16] k4l, I only use Sudo for synaptic via terminal for now on [19:16] so just seeing if the default drivers recognize the screen [19:16] as windows 10 doesn't [19:17] rice_: stop using my nickname in messages please [19:17] but that one seems to big too [19:17] oh soz [19:17] Anyone that knows how to set so I can use CTRL + ALT instead of ALT GR for ~, ][, }{, etc.? [19:18] LaPingvino: just get a flash drive and join the 21st century :) [19:18] I know, I have a flash drive but not the best experience with them [19:18] rice_ have you considered giving a try to bepo? [19:18] ISO on disk has been more reliable on me [19:18] melodie, i have no clue what bepo is [19:18] lol [19:18] LaPingvino: well it's quite easy to throw on an ISO and make it bootable. [19:19] hello, I have the following issue: I run VNC server on kubuntu on arm linux and it works fine, however when I try to run some applications (especially qt-based), the keyboard input doesn't work. There seem to be two problems: The first is that qt seems to render directly to framebuffer on ARM so that VNC can't capture screen properly from X and the other problem is that the main display is set as :0, however I'm running VNC on display [19:19] LaPingvino: you're definitely doing something wrong there then :) [19:19] :1 because :0 is locked. Is there some workaround? [19:19] hey i got some problems with gdk => undefined reference to `gdk_mir_display_get_type()' there is my code: https://gist.github.com/Hanmac/fe2c937405ee7217d53f ... its only a conftest for my extconf [19:19] daftykins: unetbootin doing crazy things ;) [19:19] don't use unetbootin [19:19] daftykins: I know the ubuntu builtin stuff doesn't do that crap, you're right... [19:20] who's using unetbootin? [19:20] "dd" and "cp" are just dandy [19:20] but I was working from a non-ubuntu-system before [19:20] ah yes, dd of course :) [19:20] stupid me :P [19:20] as long as it's run correctly [19:20] true [19:20] I do kinda like unetbootin though... as long as it works correctly :P [19:21] which it doesn't always :P [19:21] i have experienced a little lag when watching video/multi tasking on ubuntu-gnome. Is there anything I can try to do to make it better? [19:21] i turned off the animations [19:22] any of those GUI helper apps are a mistake imo [19:22] GUI helper? [19:22] what are those? [19:23] Are window managers like screen, tmus and the like only available for X11 or are there also options for tty? [19:23] *tmux [19:23] agopo: they're for tty [19:23] agopo: screen doesn't need X [19:24] they're not window managers, they're multiplexers [19:24] okay, then I misinterpreted a video I saw. There, someone used it within X [19:24] Or so it seemed to me [19:24] Either way, it's awesome they exist in tty. Any suggestions which one I should try? [19:24] you can run screen in a terminal on X. but that got nothing to do with windowmanagers [19:25] yeah, it basically splits a terminal into several virtual ones agopo [19:25] screen <3 [19:25] agopo: i like screen, tmux is fine i guess [19:25] sorry. Firefox crashed. I have to disable multi-process [19:25] Okay, screen it is. Thanks guys, that was quick [19:26] *thumbs up* [19:26] agopo: tmux can split windows, not sure screen can do that too [19:26] EriC^^: it can [19:26] llutz: really? [19:26] what key combo? [19:26] today I learned that Grub can be customized with different themes [19:26] EriC^^: ctrl-a-| [19:27] cool thanks [19:27] EriC^^: horizontal C-a S [19:27] thank you :) [19:27] I thought plymouth can only be customized [19:28] 1;3C [19:32] http://imgur.com/oZRl9H4 how can I fix that that Software Updater issue? [19:36] what happens when you run sudo apt-get update in a terminal? [19:37] azure32: the available packages for upgrading/installing gets updated [19:37] EriC^^: no errors at all? [19:38] there's not supposed to be any [19:38] you mean if it'll try to update something? [19:38] Quick question, how do I make a "system generated change log" for openssh.... Pci scanner changing shit info and not providing the instructions for the request. [19:38] has anyone seen an error before where it just keeps asking you to log in over and over again? [19:38] Ubuntu. [19:38] with a weird gaphical glitch every time you try? [19:39] TTTA: yeah [19:39] EriC^^: woops sorry I was asking Eightynine [19:39] Why not just use Debian? [19:39] What's so good about Ubuntu? [19:39] azure32: oh, :D [19:39] lol [19:39] EriC^^ do you know the fix? [19:39] TTTA: it might be a graphics driver issue [19:39] Eightynine: what happens when you run sudo apt-get update in a terminal? [19:39] if you're lucky it's just a wrong permissions issue [19:40] TTTA: did you try the guest account? [19:40] It's caching packages. [19:40] no, I'll try that first though [19:40] Sorry, I was in Ubuntu MATE chat room [19:40] any other suggestions? [19:41] TTTA: try that first, if it doesn't work then see which driver is installed [19:46] Ok, I get the same error when I try guest session [19:46] Any other suggestions? [19:46] TTTA: ok, type lspci | grep VGA [19:47] from a tty ( ctrl+alt+f1 ) === anon is now known as Guest57898 [19:49] Now I'm being told my login is incorrect [19:50] Could anybody please guide me through a root partition increase? I have a /boot an / partion on an SD card. I tried to increase the root size partition. [19:51] But I can not get it to work. I tried a few tutorials yesterday and after that no luck with gparted. [19:51] you shouldn't have made a separate /boot really [19:51] daftykins, anyway. Would you know how to increase sbd2 ? [19:51] is this LVM? [19:52] No. Partition. [19:52] pastebin a "sudo parted -l" [19:52] It is 4GB now and I want ti to use all of the SD disk . [19:52] so there's unallocated space? [19:53] yes [19:53] 32GB card [19:53] root is 4GB [19:53] boot 200MB [19:53] share the requested output [19:53] mom [19:53] dad [19:54] daftykins, https://paste.ubuntu.com/14996248/ [19:54] :D [19:54] Eric^^: I tried lspci | grep VGA, it asks for my password, I give it, it tells me my login is incorrect [19:54] TTTA: login first with your username, then run lspci [19:55] Guest57898: so you're doing this from outside of the OS that's on it, correct? [19:55] Yes [19:55] i don't see the challenge then [19:55] The SD card is in my netbook right now. Lubuntu on SD card Xubuntu on netbook [19:56] gparted is your friend [19:56] Ah, ok [19:56] Guest57898: ^ [19:56] daftykins, then please tell me the steps. I tried 10 times all day yesterday and after the root partition was 50MB [19:56] gparted gives me a error when resizing [19:57] you applied that? you must've bricked it if so [19:57] saying the kernel is using something. cannot recall right now [19:57] Guest57898: how large was it initially? [19:57] no, re-copied the image [19:57] you need to have unmounted them before you start playing with gparted. [19:57] as big as you see in the paste [19:58] it is a dd copy from an image from bananapi [19:58] irrelevant [19:58] I don´t know what I am doing wrong [19:58] Guest57898: ok, you could delete the partition, recreate it at the same starting sector using the full space, then resize the filesystem [19:58] To install Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS onto a flash drive, can its image be simply dd'ed onto a flash drive? [19:58] fdisk also did not do it for me [19:58] Guest57898: sudo umount /dev/sdb? ;sudo resize2fs -p /dev/sdb2 && sudo e2fsck /dev/sdb2 [19:58] rrn: yes. [19:58] Ok EriC^^, got through that part, lspci | grep VGA detects my video card. Now what? [19:59] llutz: doesn't he have to resize the partition before the fs? [19:59] And thanks for all your help [19:59] llutz, that is the only line I need? But where can I tell it how much it should allocate for / ? [19:59] EriC^^: oops, i thought he already did [20:00] llutz, no I did not do anyting yet. Original setup on SD card [20:00] TTTA: which name is it? [20:01] Guest57898: try sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb , delete sdb2 , then recreate it at the same sector using all of the space left [20:02] EriC^^, that is the point. How? [20:02] VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK104 [GeForce GTX 770] (rev a1) [20:02] fdisk -lu, write down the start sector [20:02] test [20:02] Guest57898: i just said, try sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb [20:02] EriC^^, what does that do? [20:02] fdisk + ncurses, it's nice [20:03] infobot [20:03] quit [20:03] EriC^^, sdb2 deleted, do I have to write the change to disk before re-creating it? [20:04] TTTA: ok, try sudo ubuntu-drivers devices [20:04] Guest57898: no [20:04] TTTA: do you have an internet connection on the pc? [20:05] EriC^^, last sector of sdb1 is 65536 [20:05] Yeah, wireless card [20:05] And I make it primary, right? [20:05] I input the command, got a list of drivers [20:05] TTTA: ok, type sudo ubuntu-drivers devices | nc termbin.com 9999 [20:05] Guest57898: yeah [20:06] damn, can i exit the program without writing? [20:06] wanna retry [20:06] Guest57898: yeah [20:07] don´t see an option? [20:07] Ok, it responded with http://termbin.com/0miy [20:07] control Q ? [20:07] never mind [20:07] Guest57898: try q [20:07] there is quit [20:07] my bad [20:08] TTTA: ok, try dpkg -l | grep nvidia | nc termbin.com 9999 [20:08] EriC^^, done. sdb2 is now the rest of the SD card [20:08] No such file or directory [20:09] EriC^^, do I have to do any other step? [20:09] EriC^^, wrote the changes to disk and exited [20:09] Guest57898: you have to resize the fs now [20:09] how do i remove a service from upstart? [20:10] via command line [20:10] EriC^^, so all of this? sudo umount /dev/sdb? ;sudo resize2fs -p /dev/sdb2 && sudo e2fsck /dev/sdb2 [20:10] Grep: nc: no such file or directory [20:10] Grep: termbin.com: no such file or directory [20:11] Grep: 9999: no such file or directory [20:11] TTTA try netcat, not nc [20:11] i need help with libvirt snapshots, i recently came over from vbox, where the concept is of snapshots is the complete opposite and trying to achieve the same is proving difficult, i have a VM which i use for testing, on many boots i just revert, when i make an update i want to keep, i delete old snapshot and create new, this worked well in vbox, in libvirt its the opposite, changes are made to the snapshot not the backing image so if i delete the snapshot i loo [20:11] Same response [20:12] Guest57898: just sudo resize2fs -p /dev/sdb2 && sudo e2fsck /dev/sdb2 [20:12] EriC^^, thank you [20:12] TTTA what's the output of cat /etc/issue [20:12] TTTA: i think you missed the | after the grep command [20:13] resize2fs 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014) [20:13] Please run 'e2fsck -f /dev/sdb2' first. [20:13] Oh wow, I totally did [20:13] I'm doing this on my cell phone, the way the text was displayed made it really hard to see [20:13] Guest57898: i guess run it first [20:14] sudo e2fsck -f /dev/sdb2 [20:14] e2fsck 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014) [20:14] Superblock has an invalid journal (inode 8). [20:14] :( [20:14] MonkeyDust, the output is: UBUNTU 14.04.3 LTS \n \l [20:14] Guest57898: when you recreated the partition, did you type anything at starting sector or just went enter? [20:14] only enter [20:15] it was the same start sector [20:15] ok, that's good [20:15] Guest57898: maybe it was damaged before? [20:15] I will try your command now [20:15] TTTA, try this dpkg -l nvidia* | nc termbin.com 9999 [20:15] now [20:15] Ok EriC^^, the response to the fixed command was http://termbin.com/3apm [20:16] sudo resize2fs -p /dev/sdb2 [20:16] resize2fs 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014) [20:16] Please run 'e2fsck -f /dev/sdb2' first. [20:17] Ioria, the response to that input was http://termbin.com/ro6f [20:17] sudo e2fsck -f /dev/sdb2 [20:17] e2fsck 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014) [20:17] Superblock has an invalid journal (inode 8). [20:17] Damn [20:17] TTTA, sorry , i haven't followed ... what's your issue ? [20:17] sruli: look at virsh blockcommit [20:18] what do you call trusty vs ubuntu [20:18] TTTA: ok, try dpkg -l linux-headers-$(uname -r) | nc termbin.com 9999 [20:18] like what is the nomenclature for trusty and ubuntu [20:18] Can't log in, it keeps asking for my password over and over, weird graphical issue every time I give password [20:18] ioria: login loop, guest account is no joy [20:18] EriC^^, i see [20:19] TTTA, graphic drivers, or did you do some with .profile or with unsupported packages ? [20:19] Guest57898: try to dd the image again, and fsck it first thing [20:20] I really don't know, I screwed around in the command line a lot yesterday trying to install BOINC [20:20] karstensrage: can you rephrase that question? [20:20] TTTA, i see 3 version of nvidia drivers installed !!! [20:20] *s [20:21] TTTA, sorry, 2 [20:21] TTTA, it's a desktop or laptop ? [20:21] Desktop [20:22] TTTA, ok, sudo apt-get purge nvidia* and start over i'd say [20:22] 1 sec [20:22] TTTA: can you run uname -r ? [20:22] then dpkg -l | grep linux-headers | nc termbin.com 9999 [20:22] karstensrage, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [20:22] EriC^^, doing dd right now [20:22] ioria: the packages are actually 1 package, the 331 thing is like a transitional package and it depends on 340 etc [20:23] is there any way for an unprivileged process to setns() into a user namespace created by the same user? the user_namespaces man page says it'd need CAP_SYS_ADMIN in that namespace first, and a normal non-root process shouldn't have any capabilities at all. i want to lock out non root but same user processes from a private mount namespace and am worried i might be missing a way around. [20:23] EriC^^, after that sudo fsck /dev/sdb2 ? [20:23] EriC^^, yeah... but i'd purge it anyway .... :( [20:23] Guest57898: yeah [20:23] EriC^^, thx [20:24] EriC^^ I ran that, got another termbin.com response [20:24] squinty, ok so distribution (ubuntu) and release (trusty)? [20:24] TTTA, how did you install nvidia drivers .... command line ? [20:24] TTTA: please paste the link, also what did uname -r return? [20:24] karstensrage, yes [20:24] k thanks squinty [20:24] Uname -r responded 3.13.0-77-generic [20:25] karstensrage, yw [20:25] http://termbin.com/mlia [20:25] is that all? [20:25] Iiria: I don't think so? [20:25] TTTA, well, we are at .77 [20:26] Automatic updater [20:26] Hi, how can I find the graphical (windowed) programs installed such as shown in desktop program menus but via SSH (maybe the .desktop file locations)? Thanks for your help. [20:26] TTTA: try dpkg -l linux-headers-3.13.0-77-generic | nc termbin.com 9999 [20:27] TTTA: nevermind, you're missing the headers [20:27] mgolisch: how will that help my scenario? if i delete the snap i will loose all, if i blockcomit i will add all changes since start of snapshot to base image [20:27] TTTA: try sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-generic [20:27] So don't send that last line? === rafael is now known as Guest66684 [20:27] I want to use them with X forwarded through SSH but without knowing the list of available programs it's a bit useless [20:28] TTTA: no, run the above command, then when it's done type sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-340-updates , then try to restart the pc and let us know how it goes [20:28] TTTA, uname -r ? [20:28] sruli: isnt that what you wanted? [20:29] Exagone313: find /usr/share/applications [20:29] I guess I’m hitting the bounds of my DNS knowlege: can a hostfile change how an NS server is used? (I don’t have my testing env at home at the moment and can’t check) so if I have an NS record for a.example.com pointing to ns.example.com and a hostfile entry for ns.example.com sending it to localhost, will the ns query for a.example.com work? [20:29] Anyone here that has used 2bwm on Ubuntu? [20:29] Exagone313, dpkg --help (ex dpkg -l) use the locate and/or find command too [20:29] sruli: it would be equiavlaent to deleting a snapshot in vb [20:29] squinty: I want _graphical_ apps [20:29] gp5st: you're in the wrong channel [20:30] Ben64: what would be a better channel? [20:30] Ben64: thanks that was my question [20:30] I would need help installing b2wm on Ubuntu, I get weird errors. [20:30] gp5st: something related to dns or networking, this is ubuntu [20:30] türk var mı ? [20:30] !tr | ekselans6767 [20:30] ekselans6767: Turk ubuntu kullanıcıları, Türkçe yardım ya da geyik için /join #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. [20:31] EriC^^, https://paste.ubuntu.com/14996568/ [20:31] gp5st: #dns [20:31] or ##networking [20:31] Exagone313: I found ##networking. Didn’t think #dns would work, but you’re right [20:31] mgolisch: not really, i make many changes on VM which i want to loose on reboots, for that i revert snapshot, however when i do want to save the changes what i used to do in Vbox is delete existing snapshot and create new, the difference between vbox and libvirt snapshot is in vbox the changes happen to base image and snap keeps track of what changed, so if u delete snapshot you havnt lost anything [20:32] Exagone313, ok not really sure what you are asking then. if you want to search your ssh connection with gui, then start nautilus after you have ssh logged in and then use nautilus's search function [20:32] sruli: just blockcommit, then delete the snapthot, then create a new one? [20:33] or do you have multiple snapshots? [20:33] maybe iam still not understanding your goal [20:33] Guest57898: ok, give it another shot i guess [20:33] mgolisch: unless i did not use the blockcommit correctly, i used instructions from this page http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Live-disk-backup-with-active-blockcommit ( iactyually make the snaps while VM off [20:33] Ok, installed all that stuff, still can't get in [20:33] EriC^^, I resized it again. root now 30GB [20:33] I have placed a bash script in /etc/profile.d It is setting JAVA_HOME. Upon reboot, from a bash prompt JAVA_HOME is set as expected.However using $JAVA_HOME/bin/javaws somejava.jnlp file doesn't run as if it can't see $JAVA_HOME. Any ideas? [20:34] EriC^^, now what? [20:34] mgolisch: i have 2 snapshots, in case something goes wrong after update, i like keeping 1 previous version [20:34] Uname -r is responding 3.13.0-77-generic [20:34] Guest57898: i think that's that [20:34] Guest57898: is /etc/fstab all right? [20:34] TTTA, and you don't have the headers ? [20:34] EriC^^, sudo e2fsck /dev/sdb2 or sudo e2fsck -f /dev/sdb2 [20:34] either one will do [20:34] mgolisch: but even if i am prepared to give up the 2 snapshots (dont really want to) how would blockcommit help me, i dont understand [20:35] sstory: what do you mean it's not set - you've ust said "it's set" [20:35] TTTA, dpkg -l | grep linux-headers* [20:35] EriC^^, in xubuntu I am running LVM === Nach0z_ is now known as Nach0z [20:36] Ioria, that gave me a list [20:37] TTTA, dpkg -l grep linux-headers* | nc termbin.com 9999 [20:37] hello, i am using https://github.com/denilsonsa/udev-joystick-blacklist which is a set of udev rules to fix certain devices from being detected as joysticks wrongfully, but it isn't working. [20:37] EriC^^, https://paste.ubuntu.com/14996610/ [20:37] sruli: also i think in vb snapshots work the same way, the snapshot file contains all the changes, otherwise online backups would not be possible [20:37] TTTA: you could try another nvidia driver if you want, or try an older kernel [20:37] ubuntuuser: so wouldn't you feed that back to the person who told you it works ? [20:37] ioria: he just installed the headers and nvidia and it didnt work [20:37] EriC^^, I think that looks, OK. Right? [20:38] EriC^^, yeah, i'd like to see the headers installed [20:38] ikonia:, Well I'm saying it is set when I rebooted and went into a bash shell. However when used from a desktop launcher (icon), it I get an error launching the application so I assumed maybe it wasn't set for the GUI somehow. [20:38] squinty: on a desktop, you may probably have a menu where you can see the apps sorted by themes (dev, system...) but I'd like to see that list through ssh [20:38] ikonia: maybe somebody here uses those rules and knows how to fix it. Maybe udev isn't loading the rules [20:38] EriC^^, now sudo resize2fs -p /dev/sdb2 ? [20:38] Exagone313: didn't i already tell you how [20:38] but the question was the .desktop location that was replied [20:38] Now I'm getting nc: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known [20:38] sstory: it's a shell setting, why would a desktop launcher work ? [20:38] Guest57898: yeah [20:39] he needed clarity [20:39] ubuntuuser: maybe it just doesn't work - ask the guy who wrote it [20:39] TTTA, again, sometimes it fails [20:39] EriC^^, https://paste.ubuntu.com/14996624/ [20:39] ubuntuuser: what device do you have? [20:39] ikonia: OK. I need an environment variable that is system wide so that a simple desktop icon can be click and launch a software that is run by called javaws and then the .jnlp file. I do not know how to set this variable. If you can give me a better way I would appreciate it. [20:40] how to adjust the scrolling time for playing movie when i scroll the mouse middle button [20:40] EriC^^, OMG, I think this is looking good this time. You rock [20:40] sstory: what is the command the desktop launcher is running [20:40] EriC^^, thx [20:40] mcphail: i have the microsoft wired keyboard 600. [20:40] mgolisch: so what would be a solution for my scenario? on each boot i revert snapshot, what i make an update i create new snapshot, how do i stop myself getting 100's of snaps? [20:40] Guest57898: cool, no problem [20:41] ikonia: basically like this: $JAVA_HOME/bin/javaws http://servername/apps/xyz.jnlp [20:41] sstory: so don't do that [20:41] sstory: just use the path to java, eg: /usr/bin/javaws [20:41] (or whatever it is) [20:41] ikonia: pasting that to a bash prompt works [20:41] TTTA: try dpkg -l | grep linux-headers | nc termbin.com 9999 [20:41] sstory: of course it will [20:41] ubuntuuser: seems to be on the list. Have you added the file correctly and rebooted? [20:42] ikonia: I'm a net admin and need to be able to upgrade Java and have this location global to all users and their desktop icon to just work with the new path. [20:42] sstory: right, so the location won't change [20:42] sstory: you use the alternatives to set the path, and you use the alternatives path which is something like /usr/bin/java [20:42] Same error, EriC^^ [20:42] I can't remember the real path without checking [20:42] mcphail: yes. i ran sudo curl -o /etc/udev/rules.d/51-these-are-not-joysticks.rules \ url to the rules and i checked if the file got saved and it did [20:43] TTTA: try dpkg -l | grep linux-headers*77 [20:43] do you see something? [20:43] Is there a way to find out on Ubuntu what IP addresses are leased in my LAN without logging in to the router admin interface? [20:43] I did notice that it seems to have knocked me off the WiFi [20:43] Guest57898: no, ubuntu is not the dhcp server [20:43] ikonia, [20:43] ok [20:43] mgolisch: any ideas for me? [20:43] ikonia: OK I had used alternatives to set java and javac. Doing this it didnt' find javaws. It wanted to installed Iced Tea. Unfortunately that won't work with the vendor's software and I had to install Oracle's. Is there a way to set alternative for javaws? [20:44] sstory: you should be able to create an alternative for anything you want [20:44] TTTA: sorry i meant, dpkg -l | grep linux-headers.*77 [20:44] is there away to record from stereo mix like windows [20:44] ubuntuuser: and your keyboard has vendorId 045e and productId 0750? [20:44] EriC^^, that produced no visible response [20:44] Ah, hold on [20:45] Bassem: yeah, audacity [20:45] and pavucontrol is helpful too [20:45] EriC^^, what is audacity? [20:45] Bassem: it's a program [20:46] mcphail: yes [20:46] and pavucontrol is like a mixer type thing for pulse audio [20:46] Ok, I got Linux-headers-3.13.0-77, *-77-generic [20:46] And Linux-headers-generic [20:46] EriC^^, will it activate stereo mix so other application can record from my playing media [20:46] TTTA: ioria ok it's installed [20:47] EriC^^, oh, joy [20:47] :D [20:47] 3.13.0-77.121, *.83 [20:47] Bassem: you can use pavucontrol to switch what to record from and stuff [20:47] ubuntuuser: I would ping the author on github. It works perfectly for my device. Perhaps yur keyboard does something odd, like some kind of modesetting? [20:47] and record in audacity if you want and edit and stuff [20:48] EriC^^, how to get pavucontrol [20:48] !info linux-headers-generic trust [20:48] 'trust' is not a valid distribution: kubuntu-backports, kubuntu-experimental, kubuntu-updates, partner, precise, precise-backports, precise-proposed, stable, testing, trusty, trusty-backports, trusty-proposed, unstable, utopic, utopic-backports, utopic-proposed, vivid, vivid-backports, vivid-proposed, wily, wily-backports, wily-proposed, xenial, xenial-backports, xenial-proposed [20:48] !info linux-headers-generic trusty [20:48] linux-headers-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel headers.

[20:49] tar -xvf filename.tar.bz2 ? [20:49] Guest57898: tar xjvf or just tar xvf just figures stuff out for you [20:49] ubuntuuser: are you sure it isn't working, though? Is it still showing as a controller in steam, for example? [20:49] Ben64: I noticed that pcmanfm can open the desktop files, so I found a good alternative to VNC I think [20:50] The termbin.com output has stopped working, the last time I restarted my computer it knocked my computer off WiFi and my mouse stopped working [20:50] EriC^^, then I was close thx [20:50] Exagone313, on unity here, but if you are using xubuntu, I thinks what you are possibly refering to is the "whisker" menu. do a locate for whisker and see what pops up [20:50] TTTA, sorry, i don't get .121 [20:50] squinty: I use ubuntu server [20:50] lel [20:50] I'm gonna go dig around for an Ethernet cable [20:51] TTTA, i think we need the complete output of the command [20:51] Exagone313, ok then I have no idea (typically servers don't have gui) maybe someone else could kick in or try asking in #ubuntu-server [20:52] it's ok it was replied [20:52] EriC^^, i install it how can i run it now i cant find it in dash [20:52] you just not noticed [20:52] mcphail: thats the reason. the controller shows up on steam. what's stranger is that steam sees 4 controllers titled xintupt controller [20:53] Still digging for an Ethernet cable [20:53] Might have to make one... [20:54] ubuntuuser: I'd type "sleep 5 && udevadm monitor -p", unplug your keyboard, wait until the udev monitor program starts, plug your keyboard back in and then send the output to the author [20:54] squinty: if you need to know: I use X apps through SSH. And via pcmanfs I can go to /usr/share/applications and open the desktop files directly open the proper apps. I can open them as a file to know which category they are in. A better solution would be a menu integrated in a window that would do the same as desktop menus. [20:54] pcmanfm* [20:54] EriC^^, ok i find it but ther's no option for stereo mix [20:54] where are you trying to record something?

[21:37] not a powerpc [21:40] mgolisch: i cant join #virt dont know why [21:40] mgolisch, remote forwarding would be what I need, right? [21:42] Guest57898: no that would allow to forward stuff from the ssh servers side to your client or machines in its network, but i think you want the other way arround (local forwarding) [21:43] how to change password input screen for decrypting partition during boot to be completely blank (black for example)? [21:43] mgolisch, say i have a pc with IP 192.168.0.1 user wiki on the machine there is an ssh server and apache and wikimedia software on port 80 [21:43] on my router there port forwarding to this pc [21:44] (xubuntu) === richard is now known as Guest1216 [21:44] Hey all [21:44] let say my external internet IP is 160.160.160.160 === Guest1216 is now known as snowrichard [21:44] then how would I connect? [21:45] Has anybody worked with aplay and arecord in here? === snowrichard is now known as snow_richard [21:45] ssh -L 80:160.160.160:80 ? [21:45] no [21:46] wait [21:46] use the internal ip on the remote end or localhost if its on the same server [21:46] ssh -L 80:localhost:80 wiki@160.160.160 [21:46] ssh -L 80:localhost:80 wiki@160.160.160.160 [21:46] like that? [21:47] yeah but you can mostlikely not do that, as only root can bind to ports belov 1024 , choose a hogher port number for the local port [21:47] internal IP on remote end? [21:48] So bind apache to port 5000 for example? [21:48] no just use another port in the forwarding thing [21:48] Basically, I'm trying to output stdout into a wav file. I can currently play sounds using "./|aplay" and that pipes the output just fine into aplay. I'm wondering how to record it into a wav file, as piping it into arecord doesn't produce an audible wav file. [21:48] like -L 8080:localhost:80 [21:49] ubuntu919: never tried it but maybe |aplay && arecord something [21:49] the 8080 is the port at home or on my local pc? [21:49] ubuntu919: i mean, |aplay & arecord something [21:50] so what this does is: the ssh client creates a listen socket on 8080 and forwards all stuff on that through the tunnel to localhost:80 on the ssh server [21:50] Guest57898: that would be the localport on the ssh client [21:50] EriC^^: The problem is that I'm spewing bytes into standard output atm, and when it's piped into aplay, it's interpretted as sound. For some reason, arecord doesn't work the same way. [21:51] I'm stuck in a login loop. [21:51] 14.04 [21:51] mgolisch, ok [21:51] EriC^^: I know that aplay is smart enough to interpret the data as sound as best it can, so I don't want to go through the curfuffle or programming my own wav output. [21:52] EriC^^: I'll give that a shot though, two seconds [21:53] is there a guide on improving desktop performance on a machine that doesn't support 3d? [21:53] it's a little irritating waiting 5 seconds while the menu runs a fade in effect [21:53] EriC^^: No dice :/ thanks for the help though [21:54] chilversc_: you might try a lighter DE - maybe XFCE or LXDE? [21:54] ubuntu919: hmm i think it works here [21:54] mgolisch, ssh -L 8080:localhost:80 wiki@160.160.160.160 [21:54] chilversc_: (between those two, I prefer LXDE for light-on-resources/older machines) [21:54] EriC^^: it plays the sound, but it doesn't record the data [21:55] EriC^^: I tried ./|aplay & arecord -d 5 music.wav [21:55] ubuntu919: what gets put into something? === psychopath is now known as DANII [21:55] no idea but maybe arecord only records from input type channels? [21:56] EriC^^: I basically want the output that's heard by aplay when a file is played, to be stored in an audio format file for a duration [21:56] chilversc_: ^^ Maybe : Lubuntu is a faster, more lightweight and energy saving variant of Ubuntu using LXDE, the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment. It is targeted at "normal" PC and laptop users running on low-spec hardware. [21:56] EriC^^: My program generates procedural music, so I need the duration to cut off recording at some number of seconds. [21:58] Bashing-om: any easy way to switch from standard ubuntu install to lubuntu? [21:58] ubuntu919: i just tested here, it's recording but it's very very low volume [21:59] EriC^^: Ohh, any idea on how to up the output? [22:00] I just used Win7, and shut down. Tried to get back into Ubuntu. Get stuck in a login loop. Any ideas? [22:00] C_minus: Toss your ~/.Xauthority from a !tty and try to log in again. [22:01] chilversc_: Yeah .. though I am not a proponent of multi-DEs / You could install ' sudo apt install lubuntu-desktop ' and at the login screen choose to start lxde . [22:02] SonikkuAmerica I don't know what that means exactly. I dropped down to the terminal and tried chown user:user .Xauthority because some askubuntu answer suggested... [22:02] hello? [22:02] C_minus: I'd just [ rm -rf ~/.Xauthority ] so that it creates the file from scratch again. [22:02] Aló [22:03] q [22:03] i just installed awesome wm and i'm stick in fullscreen [22:03] Bashing-om: I was more hoping to install one, then remove unity, just want to avoid re-installing the whole of ubuntu (and downloading another iso) [22:04] ubuntu919: slight improvement with record -f cd something [22:04] sawyer: Hello ; You are in ubuntu support. you have an issue you need help with ? [22:04] SonikkuAmerica so i typed what you said and hit ctrl alt f7 to get back to gui. same behaviour [22:04] *arecord [22:04] sawyer: what do you mean by that? [22:04] SonikkuAmerica: i wouldn't use -rf just to delete one single file [22:04] sawyer: try win+space to switch to another tiling mode [22:05] chilversc_: unity is deeply embeded in the system . not so easy to remove and not destroy the system . Is my take . [22:05] it's no longer there, ./Xauthority No such file or directory [22:05] Bashing-om: I just changed window managers for the first time. I choose to dive in headfirst. I've been messing around with the features and i'm stuck in fullscreen; meaning this app is the only thing on my screen. [22:05] sawyer: win+space [22:06] mgolisch: i tried that. doesn't work [22:06] i think hexchat has a hold on my keyboard input [22:06] sawyer: do you still see the taglist and stuff? [22:07] mgolisch: it's fullscreen like i'm watching a movie about irc. no taglist [22:08] sawyer: Never used awesome, but I would expect that when you right click on the title bar you get a number of options . [22:08] sawyer: maybe try win+n to minimize [22:08] What does .Xauthority do? Now I'm worried that I deleted it! :( [22:08] mgolisch: win+n did it [22:08] mgolisch: but i can't make hexchat un-fullscreen. [22:08] mgolisch: when i go back into it [22:09] nvm got it [22:10] So I deleted .Xauthority. No improvement. [22:10] now on to my real question, haha. it seems like the dpi on my chrome window is really high. how do I change the dpi for it? [22:10] SonikkuAmerica any ideas? I deleted it like you said. [22:11] sawyer: switch to some tilling layout using win+space [22:12] mgolisch: doesn't change the dpi of chrome [22:14] yeah i know that was related to the previous problem [22:15] I can't use my account or guest account. Both lead to login loop [22:15] Started acting funny after booting into windows. [22:15] Usually never have problems like this. [22:17] What can I do to try and diagnose this problem? [22:19] Might the login loop be somehow related to Nvidia? I have done several reboots since getting CUDA. But this is the first time rebooting after using Win7. [22:19] since "getting" cuda ? [22:20] ikonia yes since installing cuda, what's the ambiguity there? [22:20] "installing cuda" ? how did you install cuda ? [22:20] runfile [22:20] ??? [22:20] do you mean you install the nvidia propitary modules ? [22:21] Is there a need of people to contribute to updating repositories? I notice a lot of things are out of date, but I am not sure what is really behind all that. If there is a need for people to do this kind of stuff, is there a place where I can read about it? [22:22] no [22:22] the main repos are there for stability and the version numbers do not get bumped [22:22] !latest | qualiaqq [22:22] qualiaqq: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [22:22] i already had some nvidia driver from the "additional drivers" panel. later i got the cuda toolkit and cudnn. i believe it installed a driver during the cuda toolkit installation too. Though I have rebooted without problem several times since then. [22:22] http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/6_5/rel/docs/CUDA_Getting_Started_Linux.pdf Chapter 4 ikonia [22:22] hello guys [22:23] i have a question on ubuntu [22:23] C_minus: why do you do this stuff ??? [22:23] what [22:23] why do i get cuda? [22:23] C_minus: read the Xorg log and the .Xsession logs of the user you're tring to login [22:24] howto disable ALT + LeftClick dragging the window? === to is now known as Guest58432 [22:25] ikonia i had a look in /var/logs/Xorg.0.log but I don't really know what I'm looking for [22:25] C_minus: errors [22:25] Alright I see. I was just sort of looking for something that is low barrier to entry to contribute to open source. [22:25] and look at the .xsession logs [22:27] ikonia I see "(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) [22:28] C_minus: there you go, thats pretty serious [22:28] qualiaqq: package maintenance is a major undertaking. Try starting with a PPA, and see how you get on [22:28] I have no idea what might have caused this. [22:28] although you do get a login window X session right ? [22:28] C_minus: installing 3rd party drivers off the net is a good start of how to break it [22:29] qualiaqq: Entry level point : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2260620&p=13206678#post13206678 <- Ubuntu Find-A-Task . [22:29] ikonia if you mean the normal login screen, then yes. it goes black and loops back to ask for my password every time. [22:29] C_minus: so it's obviously loading "some" Xorg driver/module [22:29] I kinda had to get the NVIDIA drivers to make enable to GPU acceleration stuff... [22:29] or you wouldn't get a login prompt [22:29] Bashing-om, thanks [22:30] ciao [22:30] C_minus: I doubt that, but thats not my problem [22:30] mcphail, oic I didn't realize that. I guess I was underestimating what went into it. [22:30] qualiaqq: Welcome, we can use all the help we can get . [22:30] h [22:31] well when i'm not patching up my falling-apart computer, i train neural networks. you're saying i have to choose between having CUDA and a desktop environment? [22:31] C_minus: not saying that at all [22:32] qualiaqq: Bashing-om's link is a good one. Follow that and dive in :) [22:33] il mio nick? [22:33] This used to happen whenever I used Win7 and rebooted back to Ubuntu. But I used to be able to solve it by using an older kernel version. Now even that has the same problem. [22:33] C_minus: a.) login to the terminal - check the xsession logs [22:33] b.) use the fallback/failsafe mode - test you can login to the X session there [22:33] then move forward [22:34] you need to learn how to manage your machine/desktop though [22:34] it's all very well saying "I train neural networks" but if you can't manage the box you use, it's a pointless function [22:35] how do i change the login screen bg ion 15.10 [22:36] No!!! [22:37] ikonia good advice. it begins with "Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". [22:40] I'm curious as to why this might manifest itself only after using Win7 [22:40] Anyone use the terminal? [22:40] C_minus: you have no idea what other updates have happened in the background [22:41] C_minus: follow the debugging steps I suggested [22:43] MrXXIV: Most of us do use the terminal, what is the real question ? [22:43] what can i do to output my current volume level to the command line? [22:43] mekhami: use the gui - thats what it's there for [22:43] ikonia....... [22:43] ......... [22:44] what ? [22:44] if that were what i asked for, man that'd be a great answer [22:44] mekhami: what are you playing sound through ? [22:44] mekhami: amixer. [22:44] or alsamixer if you want a curses interface. [22:44] Seveas: i really just want a text output of the current volume level [22:44] i suppose i can do some regex on amixer get Master [22:45] mekhami: there is no such thing as 'the current volume level'. [22:45] .... [22:45] is everyone retarded today [22:45] no, but you seem to very insulting. So go away please or behave. [22:45] did i miss a memo [22:45] i must have missed the 'be really stupid today' memo [22:46] no, I think you received that just fine :) [22:49] Hi :) Is there a way to aggregate two samba mounts into one with aufs ? I have a setup that "kinda works" except I get a "device is busy" error when I try to create a file the aufs mount... [22:49] GUYS [22:49] GUYS IS THERE A WAY TO SEE ALL OF YOUR CMDS [22:49] DaMastah: I can't see how that would work with samba [22:49] hihello: don't type in caps [22:49] EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE WORKING IN GUI UN UBUNTU [22:49] hihello: "history" or "fc -l" [22:49] ok [22:50] no [22:50] but lets say i am workingin gui [22:50] but i want to see cmds of it [22:50] is this possible [22:50] there are no commands [22:50] it's a gui [22:50] ^ [22:50] you didnt understand [22:50] ikonia: that's too bad :( It works with mhddfs though but it's kinda slow because it's a fuse fs [22:50] I was about to say that ikonia [22:50] I never (knowingly) installed Nvidia Optimus tool for switching graphics cards. Could that be a problem? [22:50] if you work in gui === Luke_ is now known as Luke [22:50] its still cmds [22:50] C_minus: yes, [22:50] hihello: no, it's not [22:51] hihello: a button press on a gui does not = a command [22:51] what is it then [22:51] please explanin [22:51] or functions [22:51] a call to libraries [22:52] ok thank you [22:53] ikonia actually dpkg -l grep nvidia shows 2 resulsts: the second is nvidia-prime - which handles switching graphics cards. [22:53] hihello you can download the source of a program, without installing, then read it... you will see a button click is not the same as [command] [enter] [22:53] I just did an update on a lot of packages. How can I undo all update just installed? Does apt have a rollback option or something? [22:53] C_minus: did you do what I told you to do yet ? [22:54] seanrdev: usually no, and why you wanna do that? [22:54] ikonia you said read the xsession and Xorg.0.log. Since I've never seen these outputs before I'm googling them as I go [22:55] xangua: it took days to get wireless working with backports. now after the update its out again!!! [22:56] C_minus: I also told you to login via the tty, and login to the X11 session to test the failsafe session [22:56] seanrdev: please elaborate, what Ubuntu release, what wireless drivers, how did you make it with the first time? [23:01] Ubuntu 15.10 (Because of the 4.2 kernel). ath10k drivers. Had to follow the bug report at bugs.launchpad.net bug number 1520343. Post #22 [23:01] Hey, the global menu can be set to always on. I don't know who did that, but thank you so much [23:02] ikonia by that do you mean the ctrl-alt-f1 combination? how do i login to the x11 session to test the failsafe session? [23:03] god i hate webex [23:03] Question: I verified my router is fowarding port 22 to my ubuntu system. I verified my ISP is not blocking port 22. I also verified there is no firewall running on the ubuntu system and that I am trying to connect to the right IP but I am still unable to SSH from the outside. What else can be the issue>? [23:04] C_minus, I believe that is what he meant. ctrl+alt+f1 will take you to tty1 and allow you to log in via test mode. [23:04] guys [23:04] i typed in my login and password sure [23:04] does it take a lot of programming to be a good hacker [23:04] Revian1 what is the failsafe aspect? [23:05] C_minus: testing it via the console, and changing the xorg.conf to remove the nvidia module and use the vesa module will run as a failsafe X11 session [23:05] hihello: that is nothing to do with this channel [23:05] MannyLNJ: systemctl status ssh [23:05] C_minus, I'm not sure, I am nowhere near as skilled as ikonia .. he's been doing this for quite a while [23:05] ikonia what is your job ? here [23:05] moderator ? [23:05] I don't have a job here, [23:05] just wondering [23:05] ahh sorry yes [23:06] ah ok [23:06] what exactly am i meant to be testing? do i run "startx"? [23:07] C_minus: no, just testing it logged in on the console and authed ok etc etc, thats all [23:07] ikonia, You may have lost C_minus at 'changing the xorg.conf' [23:07] yeah i logged in. this is how i've been reading those log files [23:08] C_minus: thats fine, just checking the basics [23:08] MannyLNJ: Can you successfully ssh in from another host on your LAN? How are you testing a connection from "the outside world"? [23:10] it says /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d No such file or directory [23:10] C_minus: what does ? [23:10] xangua: Yeah I just recopied the files and it works again. I don't know what happened during the update but that fixed it. [23:11] ikonia - the shell, i guess? [23:11] C_minus: what are you doing to get that error [23:11] same for without the .d [23:11] C_minus: what are you doing to get that error [23:12] erm nano ./xorg.conf [23:12] from that directory [23:12] C_minus: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:13] Ah, there are lots of files beginning xorg.conf in that directory, followed by numbers (dates?) [23:13] and one with failsafe at the end [23:13] it's not a directory [23:13] it's a file [23:13] in /etc/X11 [23:14] is there a file called /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:14] no, just the several versions with numbers after [23:14] C_minus: can you pastebin ls -la /etc/X11 please [23:15] ikonia it's kinda hard, i'm on a different laptop to talk to you [23:15] C_minus: thats fine [23:15] i can type it out [23:15] no no, I understand [23:15] so if you do "ls -la /etc/X11/xorg.conf" what do you get ? [23:16] ls: cannot access /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such fie or directory [23:16] perfect, ok [23:16] C_minus: so what are the other files in /etc/X11 ? [23:18] app-defaults, cursors, default-display-manager, fonts, rgb.txt, xint, xkb, xorg.conf.XXXXXXXX (several of these), xorg.conf.failsafe, Xreset, Xreset.d, Xresources, Xsession, Xsession.d, Xsession.options, xsm, Xwrapper.config [23:18] C_minus: interesting, normally if you're using nvidia it makes an xorg.conf to force the loading of the nvidia module, [23:18] C_minus: what version of ubuntu is this ? [23:18] 14.04 [23:19] ok, so it will still honour the xorg.conf [23:19] C_minus: look at the timestamps on the xorg.conf.whatever [23:19] find the last one, and open it [23:19] The most recent one is today [23:19] C_minus: ok, so that would explain why it's broke toda [23:19] today [23:19] C_minus: lets try a basic test for "luck" [23:20] C_minus: copy that file to be called xorg.conf (not move - copy) [23:20] OK, its some blocks of stuff with a few indents... [23:20] which file, the latest one? [23:20] yes [23:20] ok hold on a sec [23:21] ikonia ok i copied it to a new file called xorg.conf [23:22] hey guys, how can I get my macbook touchpad right click working? I'm on ubuntu wily on a macbook 8,1 [23:22] C_minus: reboot and see what happens [23:22] C_minus: bit of a luck shot before debugging in more detail [23:23] hehe thanks, I appreciate this ikonia [23:24] ikonia WOAH! beautiful lovely gorgeous desktop, panel and launcher appear! [23:24] ikonia I owe you a million quid. [23:24] C_minus: look of the draw, [23:24] C_minus: something is changing/backing up your xorg.conf - find it [23:25] C_minus: or keep a copy of that file for if it happens again [23:26] ikonia, if you had the patience, I'd love to hear what your rationale behind suggesting this solution was. because it largely seems like witchcraft to me. (you mean go to /etc/X11 and save the xorg.conf i just made, and be able to back it up from a usb stick or whatever?) [23:26] C_minus: just keep a copy in your home dir eg: xorg.conf.safe [23:27] C_minus: I just know how xorg works to a level that made it a common sense thing to do, just experience, nothing else [23:28] ikonia also does it strike you as strange that i encounter these kinds of issues after shutting down a win7 session and trying to use ubuntu again? This guy mentions it, but it's a bit of a dead end http://stackoverflow.com/a/29041693 [23:28] Where is the ENV_SUPATH located in ubuntu [23:29] C_minus: I suspect what's happened is you've rebooted say 10 times no probles, in the 10'th time an update happened, you rebooted into windows, no problem, you booted back into ubuntu and the pending update happened and broke this [23:29] C_minus: I'm making a guess without any information [23:31] ikonia thanks again, you're a very helpful and patient fellow [23:31] i'm a bigtime newcomer to computing and whatnot, so thanks [23:32] see ya later ubuntuphiles [23:33] How can you config your login policy so that users can only login in at a certin time [23:34] what is amd64-microcode used for and do I need it? [23:37] nolsen: does ' apt-cache show amd64-microcode ' answer that question(s) . [23:38] Sorta, though https://askubuntu.com/questions/297628/should-i-install-amd64-microcode says it's a 32bit program, but I can't see if that's true. === james_ is now known as Guest71877 === Guest71877 is now known as jmbabazi [23:41] nolsen: "think" they are talking that Left 4 Dead 2 is a 32 bit program . [23:53] hi my friends [23:54] nolsen: Bashing-om's suggestion is pretty complete. It's for AMD processor microcode [23:55] nolsen: the package itself doesn't provide any "programs" really, unless you mean the bin files that are microcode themselves [23:58] hi
