| alive876___ | hi newbie question... in ubuntu linux i have a file with this #include <dlib/image_processing.h> when i compile g++ file.cpp it comes back no such file found,although there is the specified file in dlib, don't have any c++ environmental variables set, thanks! | 00:21 |
| ouroumov_ | alive876___, not even LD_LIBRARY_PATH? | 00:33 |
| dillon_ | is there any reason to ever "clean" out linux's system? | 00:34 |

| alive876___ | <ouroumov_> no, do i need it? | 00:36 |
| === Barzogh_ is now known as Barzogh | ||
| dillon_ | temp files, system error files, and stuff like that? like you have to do with windows | 00:36 |
| ouroumov_ | alive876___, it usually is used by the compiler to locate shared libraries | 00:38 |
| ouroumov_ | alive876___, static libraries have to be passed on the compile command line iirc | 00:39 |
| ouroumov_ | dillon_, if you're running Ubuntu you might have crash reports in /var/crash that you wanna clean up if they keep poping up on startup. Temp files are generated by many applications but aren't usually a problem | 00:40 |
| dillon_ | ouroumov so basically just leave it alone | 00:41 |
| ouroumov_ | That's what I've always done for the five years I've used Ubuntu | 00:41 |
| stratum | ouroumov_, goldeneye? | 00:42 |
| ouroumov_ | stratum, yes | 00:42 |
| stratum | just clicked | 00:42 |
| ouroumov_ | ^^ | 00:43 |
| dillon_ | ouroumov , ok thanks so far I like this a whole lot better than windows with one exception which would the variety of software and how hard it is to install but other then that I like it a whole lot better | 00:43 |
| ouroumov_ | dillon_, hopefully that software shortage situation will gradually get better | 00:44 |
| ouroumov_ | Also note that you can actually install a lot of programs when you've been familiarized enough with the environment | 00:45 |
| Bashing-om | dillon_: General house keeping ' sudo apt-get autoclean ; sudo apt-get autoremove ; sudo apt-get clean ; sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo dpkg -C '. All I have ever had to do . | 00:45 |
| dillon_ | ouroumov I would love to see Linux become a heavy hitter, like OS and OSX, within 5 years. However with the software shortage it's not necessarily that it's more of just installing it more so | 00:46 |

| Kang0 | Have you came across any chat network which are not similar to irc; i mean if i float a query or discussion it will automatically pick up relevant channels and connect to those channels in back ground and i got replies as soon as someone ping back on that topic ; is it possible? ; can it possible be with irc? | 01:51 |
| monsterjamp | Is there a way to change how nautilus unmounts mounts when I click on the unmount button | 01:51 |
| monsterjamp | Kang0 That sounds like it would take up a lot of compute time on a server, but maybe it's been done before | 01:53 |
| Kang0 | As ultimately people dont worry about machine but they think only about their convenient | 01:54 |
| EriC^ | monsterjamp: the disks program maybe | 01:55 |
| monsterjamp | I meant unmounting samba shares fomr within nautilus | 01:56 |

| derfoh | pcwiz I had to abandon my full install of ubuntu that was running on a 3.0 flash drive because of the same problems. :L | 02:35 |
| Kang0 | Are there any software which uses udp for file transfer? | 02:36 |
| derfoh | proxy | 02:36 |
| derfoh | unless I'm mistaken proxy services use UDP | 02:37 |
| derfoh | also i believe VOIP does too | 02:37 |
| derfoh | I guess it's important to be specific about what kind of data you're transferring. Things like documents, music, pictures, etc. are usually transferred via TCP to ensure that every packet is received. Other data though such as video streaming, and voip where some lossy is expected and accepted UDP is used. The major difference between the protocols are how bad packets are handled. TCP will request the packet is resent, UDP will just drop it. | 02:45 |

| adrian_1908 | Darmani: what application, could you give any example? | 04:37 |
| Darmani | yeah it's just a text editor for coding. Sublime. | 04:37 |
| adrian_1908 | Darmani: CTRL + Mousewheel is a common pattern | 04:37 |
| Darmani | ah there it goes! | 04:38 |
| adrian_1908 | CTRL + "+" and CTRL + "-" too | 04:38 |

| Darmani | adrian_1908: I'm new to this OS. But I am forever in your debt. | 04:38 |

| adrian_1908 | PcChip: yeah, looks like the Beta was released 2 days ago. Not sure about your section question, but I imagine it's the same content. | 04:46 |

| Bashing-om | croop: And looky what else I ran across : https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/UTF-8 . | 04:47 |
| adrian_1908 | PcChip: I reckon both will get you the same end result if you keep pulling updates, at least that's how I understand it. Fixed betas can also be shared via bittorrent for longer times, whereas a new ISO every day would split seeds. | 04:48 |

| Fuogo | cannot login to the laptop directly. it gets stuck at login prompt (console). The GUI does not even come up | 06:38 |
| consolejazz | actually, i think you can reinstall ubuntu 14 (downgrading from 15) and that should return your file permissions to the way they were | 06:38 |
| Fuogo | ok, but would that overwrite my existing files? | 06:39 |
| Fuogo | or delete | 06:39 |
| consolejazz | it shouldn't overwrite your ~ home directory | 06:39 |
| Fuogo | okay | 06:39 |
| consolejazz | but | 06:39 |
| LambdaComplex | backups | 06:40 |
| consolejazz | i'd try opening a terminal from the live cd and accessing those home files on the mounted partition. copying over to another backup medium | 06:40 |
| consolejazz | LambdaComplex: beat me to the punch :) | 06:40 |
| Fuogo | i tried that, but like i said some files are not accessible. | 06:41 |
| Fuogo | they simply dont get copied, and i can see a small lock icon on those files | 06:41 |
| consolejazz | even after accessing as root? `su -` ? | 06:41 |
| Fuogo | sorry, how do I do that? | 06:42 |
| LambdaComplex | why would you not have access to files in your home folder? | 06:42 |
| Gallomimia | sounds like you have to fix some permissions | 06:42 |
| LambdaComplex | ^ | 06:42 |
| cspack | he's running from a live CD | 06:42 |
| Gallomimia | oh. uid mismatch | 06:42 |
| Fuogo | cspack: yes, thank you | 06:42 |
| Gallomimia | liveCD/etc/passwd != installed/ect/passwd | 06:43 |
| cspack | can you launch your file manager as root? | 06:44 |
| consolejazz | Fuogo: try Alt+F2,`gksudo nautilus` | 06:44 |
| consolejazz | to get at the files | 06:44 |
| pi1 | hi all | 06:44 |
| Rache | ih | 06:45 |
| consolejazz | type that in the commandline | 06:45 |
| Fuogo | console: trying that | 06:45 |
| Fuogo | it works!!! | 06:46 |
| Gallomimia | hey uh... be careful what you do with that window | 06:46 |
| Gallomimia | you've got ultimate permissions. you can muck things up easily | 06:46 |
| Fuogo | I will copy the files and then do a fresh install of 14 LTS | 06:47 |
| Gallomimia | ah | 06:47 |
| consolejazz | Fuogo: yes, do be careful. now copy over your `~/` (home) folder somewhere for safekeeping. verify its all there and accessible | 06:47 |
| consolejazz | then proceed to reinstall | 06:47 |
| Gallomimia | then there's not much dangerous you can do if you're about to nuke everything anyway | 06:47 |
| consolejazz | rsync would be good for this | 06:48 |
| Gallomimia | maybe we should get us a good and easy to use "hey save all my files before i reinstall" utility installed by default? | 06:49 |
| consolejazz | Fuogo: for reference, if you want to stick with commandline (which is easiest to guide you through as well), https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync#Perform_a_Simple_Backup | 06:50 |
| consolejazz | you can try Grsync, a GUI frontend for rsync copy utility, as well (as mentioned in linked guide) | 06:50 |
| Fuogo | thank you consolejazz and others. | 06:54 |
| Fuogo | will come back if I have more questions | 06:55 |
| adv | hi | 06:55 |
| consolejazz | you're welcome Fuogo | 06:57 |
| consolejazz | ah, he's gone | 06:57 |

| TTTA | So a few days ago, my UBUNTU version stopped working. Today I just deleted the whole partition...But now I can't even load into Windows | 07:45 |
| TTTA | I try to boot from my Windows drive, but u get a "No such device <long hex>, entering review mouse...grub rescue" | 07:47 |
| TTTA | *entering rescue mode | 07:48 |
| TTTA | Can anyone help me regain access to my computer? | 07:48 |
| cspack | you probably need to boot from windows install media and do a repair installation | 07:50 |
| Fudge | TTTA: there are boot rescue cd's that will assist you to restore your windows boot loader, there are some key words for you to Google, hope that helps | 07:53 |
| Fudge | if hopefully you have another computer or an ubuntu cd | 07:53 |
| lotuspsychje | good morning to all | 07:53 |
| TTTA | I had an UBUNTU USB I was trying to reinstall from | 07:54 |
| TTTA | Oddly enough, I just fixed it by installing from a USB 2.0 port instead of a 3.0 port | 07:54 |
| Tex_Nick | TTTA: sounds like you had a dual boot lin/win install on the same drive, if so & grub was your bootloader & you only deleted the linux partition, then you might be able to use the windows install disk to reinstall the MBR ... you need to be more specific though :) | 07:55 |
| cwiggs | I'm trying to do a update-manager -d to go from xubuntu 14.04 to xubuntu 16.04 beta but I'm getting an errror "module-init-tools" says it was not able to authenticate. | 07:56 |
| TTTA | They were on different drives, I believe | 07:56 |
| lotuspsychje | cwiggs: not a good idea | 07:56 |
| lotuspsychje | cwiggs: xenial is not final yet, clean install a daily iso of 16.04 | 07:57 |
| lotuspsychje | cwiggs: see #ubuntu+1 for details | 07:57 |

| _teo1 | does anyone has experience with open source ati radeon driver? need to set low power profile to a graphics card (RADEON hd 4870) | 08:00 |
| TTTA | Honestly, now I just need a quick walkthrough of the installation process | 08:01 |
| TTTA | I chose the 'preview without installing' option | 08:02 |
| TAFB | can anyone help me get vnc working on my ubuntu vps? | 08:02 |
| lotuspsychje | TAFB: vnc is a security flaw, be carefull with it | 08:02 |
| lotuspsychje | !vnc | TAFB | 08:02 |
| ubottu | TAFB: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 08:02 |
| TTTA | But I'm getting the infamous old Windows frame dragging whenever I move anything r | 08:02 |
| TAFB | is there a way to do it NOT security? | 08:03 |
| cspack | TTTA: what is it you want to do? you said you wanted to boot into windows after deleting your linux partition, right? | 08:05 |
| lotuspsychje | TAFB: you can try to get your work done remotly by ssh perhaps? | 08:06 |
| TAFB | lotuspsychje: I want to run Tixati on my VPS, as far as I know it's a desktop application | 08:07 |
| TTTA | I came in wanting to replace my old Linux with a fresh install | 08:07 |
| TTTA | I'm most of the way through that, now I'm at the part where it wants me to chose an installation partition | 08:07 |
| cspack | TTTA: ok that's different. | 08:07 |
| TTTA | Yeah, it's been a strange night, sorry about the confusion | 08:08 |
| TTTA | So I have a 70GB partition on one HDD that's completely unformatted | 08:09 |
| TTTA | Last time I tried doing this, I ended up accidentally reformatting the entire HDD | 08:09 |
| TTTA | someone on this IRC told me to run through the process again, but go through the 'try UBUNTU without installing it | 08:10 |

| mrm1st3r | Hi, I'm looking for a tool to monitor various sensors on my computer | 08:17 |
| mrm1st3r | lm-sensors is only giving me CPU temps | 08:17 |
| cspack | TTTA: did you start the installer? | 08:17 |
| TTTA_ | yes | 08:17 |
| cspack | mrm1st3r: did you run 'sudo sensors-detect'? | 08:18 |
| TTTA_ | I'm at the point where I can choose installation type. | 08:18 |
| mrm1st3r | yes, but that didn't detect really anything | 08:18 |
| TTTA_ | I chose a drive, hit the "Change..." button, the "Edit partition" window popped up | 08:19 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA_: What is the exact text of the options you're given? | 08:19 |
| TTTA_ | "Erase disk and install UBUNTU" (clearly not the right option); "Something Else" | 08:20 |
| TTTA_ | I selected "Something Else" | 08:20 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA_: Wait. | 08:20 |
| TTTA_ | k | 08:21 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA_: Please open a terminal, run "sudo parted -l", and pastebin the output. | 08:21 |
| TTTA_ | http://termbin.com/yns9 | 08:23 |
| TTTA_ | thank you for your help, btw | 08:24 |
| Jordan_U | !bootinfo | TTTA_ | 08:28 |
| ubottu | TTTA_: Boot info script is a useful script for diagnosing boot problems. Please run the script following the directions here: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ and then !pastebin the RESULTS.txt for us to use to help diagnose your problem. | 08:28 |
| TTTA_ | http://termbin.com/rf0e | 08:32 |
| TTTA_ | dammit, ignore that | 08:32 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA_: Part of your problem (though not all of it) is that you left a partition unformatted. If you just delete the partition instead, then Ubuntu's installer will be able to make use of the free space appropriately for you automatically. | 08:33 |
| _teo | has anyone had any experience with power profiling on ATI RADEON gpu? I need to set low profile on an older card. I try to use ''echo low > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile" with sudo, but it always gives permission denied | 08:34 |

| TAFB | can anyone help me get vnc working on my ubuntu vps without using a SSH tunnel? | 08:35 |
| TTTA_ | I am so lost | 08:35 |
| TTTA_ | I don't even know how to delete that partition from my current situation | 08:36 |
| _teo | is this the right channel to ask about gpu? | 08:36 |
| Jordan_U | _teo: When you use ">" you're telling the *shell* to take the output of the previous command, and write it to a file. That means that the *shell* needs permission to write to the file, not the command. If you want to write to a file as root you can use "echo foo | sudo tee /path/to/file". That runs the "echo foo" as your user and writes to the file, using the tee command, as root. | 08:36 |
| DeafMints|2 | Do i just install ubuntu 15.04 on my pc via a usb boot drive and it will automatically do the dual boot for me? | 08:37 |
| === raj` is now known as raj | ||
| Jordan_U | TTTA_: You can close Ubuntu's installer, use GParted to delete the partition (*carefully* if you accidentally delte the wrong partition, that's on you. I also hope that, as always, you have backups of any important data). | 08:38 |
| * DeafMints|2 is confused | 08:38 | |
| _teo | i tried that also but i get "low tee: /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile: Invalid argument" | 08:38 |
| _teo | the power_profile always has default inside | 08:39 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA_: You can also delete the partition within Ubuntu's "something else" option, but that might lead you to want to do other manual partitioning afterward, and I personally recommend that you just let the installer create the appropriate partitions for you (by starting the Installer from the beginning again after deleting the empty partition). | 08:40 |
| asda | hola | 08:41 |

| DeafMints|2 | If i can get an answer before i reboot my pc | 08:42 |
| ouroumov_ | DeafMints|2, you should use 15.10 instead of .04 | 08:43 |
| mahdi | from server i can connect to desktop of the desktop computer but from desktop i can not connect to the server computer | 08:43 |
| DeafMints|2 | Yes i have that version downloaded ouroumov_ | 08:43 |
| TTTA_ | I fiddles around and googled a bunch | 08:43 |
| DeafMints|2 | Do i just get it onto a usb then load the usb ubuntu and install it as normal ouroumov_? | 08:43 |
| TTTA_ | and I think I got it worked out | 08:44 |
| TTTA_ | but thank you for spending time with me, Jordan_U | 08:44 |

| TAFB | almost 4am here | 08:45 |
| ouroumov_ | But usually you gotta first clear some space on one of your used partitions, then install into that space, then fix eventual dual boot issues DeafMints|2 | 08:45 |
| DeafMints|2 | I've already got the space | 08:45 |

| thekiddo | dude jordan ttta timed out | 08:55 |
| deafmints | ok. I'm on ubuntu | 08:55 |
| TTTA | Yeah, depending on which hard drive I'm boring from | 08:55 |
| Jordan_U | thekiddo: No, TTTA_ timed out. | 08:55 |
| ouroumov_ | deafmints, did you see the windows option on startup? | 08:56 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA: OK. Lets stick to booting from the drive that grub was installed to. | 08:56 |
| Jordan_U | !bootinfo | TTTA | 08:56 |
| ubottu | TTTA: Boot info script is a useful script for diagnosing boot problems. Please run the script following the directions here: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ and then !pastebin the RESULTS.txt for us to use to help diagnose your problem. | 08:56 |
| deafmints | ouroumov_: im on ubuntu now. Im working on the installation also my mouse is moving too fast! | 08:56 |
| TTTA | TTTA is still me, TTTA_ was me through my computer, on cell phone now | 08:56 |
| deafmints | Ok. I need to determine my partition now. | 08:57 |
| deafmints | how do i tweak the mouse movement speed on herE? | 08:57 |
| ouroumov_ | deafmints, I don't think you can during the install procedure | 08:58 |
| deafmints | There, tweaked it | 08:58 |
| deafmints | Im on the try ubuntu thing | 08:58 |
| ouroumov_ | Oh | 08:58 |
| TTTA | Ok, so if I try to boot from the drive Windows was installed on, I get "error: no such device: a7878760-f7f1-46d2-bc09-930335d65c1b. Entering rescue mode... grub rescue>_" | 08:58 |
| deafmints | So what partitions do i need to do a sucessful ubuntu | 08:59 |
| deafmints | I know i need a swap | 08:59 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA: OK, that means that grub's boot sector was installed to your Windows drive's MBR (which is probably not what you wanted) and for some reason can't access the drive that contains Ubuntu. What devices are listed if you run "ls" at the grub rescue shell? | 09:00 |
| Jordan_U | deafmints: I recommend letting Ubuntu's installer create the needed partitions for you, but for any installation you'll need a root filesystem. You will probably also want a swap paritition, especially if you ever plan to hibernate. If your machine uses UEFI then you will need a UEFI System Partition, if your machine boots via BIOS but on a GPT partitioned drive then you will need a BIOS Boot Partition. | 09:02 |
| deafmints | Jordan_U: I have a SDD which is my main windows and a HDD which has everything else on, and im planning to put ubuntu on the HDD | 09:03 |
| deafmints | I have 175gb free space for ubuntu | 09:03 |
| deafmints | So i cant really do the automatic Jordan_U | 09:04 |
| TTTA | (hd0) (hd1) (hd1,gpt3) (hd1,gpt2 (hd1,gpt1) (hd2) (hd2,gpt2) (hd2,gpt1) (hd3) (hd4) | 09:05 |
| deafmints | ... I'm googling information but they aren't giving me any extact information on what i need or how bigg | 09:07 |
| k1l_ | deafmints: how much ram you got and do you want to use hibernation? | 09:09 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA: OK, which disk (from the output you provided here: http://termbin.com/yns9 ) did you install Ubuntu to? | 09:09 |
| deafmints | No hiberination and i have 16gb of ram k1l_ | 09:10 |
| deafmints | I have 120032mb of free space to work with | 09:10 |
| k1l_ | deafmints: so you dont need a swapif you will not use all that ram (like running 10 of vm or such) | 09:11 |
| TTTA | Jordan, the first time or second time I installed UBUNTU? | 09:12 |
| k1l_ | deafmints: 15GB for /, th rest for /home partition. both ext4 | 09:12 |
| TTTA | The first time, it was to the 1TB ATA | 09:12 |
| deafmints | ok thanks k1 | 09:12 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA: The second. | 09:12 |
| TTTA | second time (a few minutes ago), it was to the 850 EVO | 09:12 |
| deafmints | Ok, appearently i didn't partition correctly in windows | 09:15 |
| deafmints | Brb going back to windows | 09:15 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA: I need to leave. If you run boot info script from a LiveCD/USB as I asked earlier I can probably walk you through fixing all this relatively quickly some time tomorrow, if someone else can't help you tonight. You can also probably boot Windows or Ubuntu with Super GRUB2 Disk: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/ or get just Windows working again with a FixMBR on that disk. For getting Ubun | 09:18 |
| Jordan_U | tu's grub installed to the correct place you can follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot and instead of running grub-install run "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc --frontend=text" to select which drive grub's boot sector should be installed to (Do *not* select any partition, like sda1). | 09:18 |

| deafmints_ | i can still access my computer's device | 09:21 |
| deafmints_ | I can see all the data there | 09:21 |
| deafmints_ | Should i just try unplugging the usb then | 09:22 |
| deafmints_ | i did the f12 boot menu | 09:22 |
| deafmints_ | ill be back to see what happens when i unplug the usb | 09:22 |
| ouroumov_ | Sure, try. I assume you've got a backup of your stuff? | 09:22 |
| deafmints_ | ouroumov_: all my important stuff are not in my ssd | 09:23 |

| ouroumov_ | asda, hi. Are you trying to dual boot with windows? | 09:36 |
| BikerMike | With yesterday's advice about using the 64bit installer, I tried uninstalling the 32bit and it gave me a bit of a scare as I can no longer boot thru Windows :( | 09:39 |
| ouroumov_ | BikerMike, you've reinstalled the 64Bits version already? | 09:40 |
| asda | i wanna be seems like my hardware does not support ubuntu | 09:45 |
| asda | lets me boot the usb stick but says kernel channel cant be created | 09:45 |
| asda | so whats up with that? | 09:47 |
| BikerMike | ouroumov not yet, still downloading the iso | 09:48 |
| BikerMike | what i did was uninstalled the existing 32bit via windows add/remove programs | 09:49 |
| BikerMike | and then when i restarted, it gave me an error "GRUB Recovery" something | 09:49 |
| BikerMike | oh by the way before that error i was still able to boot, but was curious why Ubuntu didn't get uninstalled | 09:50 |
| BikerMike | so I deleted the ext4 partitions, and I guess that's why the error came up | 09:50 |
| BikerMike | now I had to reinstall the 32bit just to get my windows running and now i'm back in this room :/ | 09:51 |

| Abe_ | it's probably hard to get rid of it after you have it | 10:24 |
| ouroumov | I don't think there's an easy way to revert that decision though. You should backup to external drive then do a reinstall of your system Abe_. | 10:24 |
| ouroumov | Yes | 10:24 |
| Abe_ | yes i know but it takes hours for me to back everything up :/ | 10:24 |
| ouroumov | :x | 10:25 |
| Abe_ | I want to make a little windows partition like 80 gigs is it possible to do it on an encrypted hdd? | 10:26 |
| Abe_ | cuz I can't split the partition somehow | 10:26 |
| epsypolym | Sup. | 10:26 |
| ouroumov | I have no idea Abe_, maybe someone else will | 10:27 |
| Abe_ | hmmI can't think of anything but erasing everything :/ I could back everything up but then I also have to reinstall ubuntu | 10:28 |
| will | anybody here?? | 10:33 |
| will | i need help asap ? | 10:33 |

| ubottu | ren0v0: Xenial Xerus is the codename for Ubuntu 16.04 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 | 10:39 |
| Flannel | will: `sudo apt-get install python` should fix that. | 10:41 |
| Abe_ | ok so I could boot up from ubuntu-cd load this cryptsetup and remove it and resize the partition. but I see that you have to resize the partition with terminal and then it's probably easier to copy everything somewhere else | 10:41 |
| Abe_ | because nahh that looks too risky | 10:42 |

| will | Flannel: it there any way to go to previous state using live ubuntu usb | 10:45 |

| Abe_ | You can now manage your encrypted partitions, mount them, copy them, or perform maintenance (fsck, backup, resize). | 10:45 |

| Flannel | will: like "wants version X, but version Y is to be installed" | 11:00 |
| cfhowlett | anzii, #winehq might have that info | 11:01 |
| Abe_ | those* | 11:01 |
| will | Flannel: python depends on python-minimal = (2.7.5-5ubuntu3); however: package python-minimal is not configured yet | 11:01 |
| anzii | ok, my thought was that ubuntu users and developers might have more insight into this, since wine has general knowledge, maybe not specific for ubuntu. But I'll check that out :) | 11:02 |
| madjoe | Abe_: Ok, I'll try it. | 11:02 |
| Flannel | will: ok. Try `sudo apt-get install python-minimal` (it will error, this is expected, but we'll get info from the error. We're trying to peel away the errors to figre out what the *actual* root problem is) | 11:02 |
| akis | hi all. i asked already in #xubuntu. i copied and pasted from libreoffice a password to mozilla and before i saved it in libreoffice file i closed the application. now i am out of website so i cannot change the password and i haven't save it too. Right click gives a gray "paste". i tried to paste it in other applications like mousepad or gimp but i wasn't lucky. i read a lot of documentation about and there is a bid discussion about this. is the | 11:05 |
| akis | re any chance to restore the clipboard content or is is definitely gone for ever? is there any chance to retrieve the information form a cache file or maybe from ...ram? i am under 14.04.1 without any clipboard manager installed. any tip or help please? | 11:05 |
| will | Flannel:No module named _struct , nd then same as previous error | 11:05 |
| === linuxer is now known as Guest15904 | ||
| cfhowlett | akis, he's gone, Jim. | 11:06 |
| Flannel | will: That's odd. Ok. Did you install any version of python manually or anything funky like that? | 11:07 |
| will | yup :p i was trying to upgrade it to 2.7.11 | 11:08 |
| Flannel | will: and how were you going about doing that? | 11:08 |
| will | manually trying to build using source | 11:09 |
| will | Flannel: nd i tried to purge the older version of python | 11:09 |
| will | Flannel: then evrything went to shit | 11:09 |
| akis | cfhowlett: this is unfortunately what i don't want to believe! what is the writing mechanism on clipboard that cannot be recalled or restored? i read that it works through X system but isn't any possibility to search anything? or maybe mozilla stores temporally this inf? | 11:10 |
| akis | info | 11:10 |
| Flannel | will: right. You effectively told your system "remove python, I don't want it anymore", and then everything that uses python said "well, I guess I might as well go away too, since we don't have python" | 11:10 |
| cfhowlett | mozilla would the first to insist they don't store it. | 11:10 |
| will | Flannel: yeah same thing happened | 11:11 |
| Flannel | will: Ok. Um. I can only assume that your manually installed version of python is screwing up this package's installation somehow (by being the python called by the scripts, but not being the 'right' python). | 11:11 |
| will | Flannel: python is still installed on system | 11:12 |
| will | only some of confiurations are messed up | 11:12 |
| will | i think | 11:12 |
| Flannel | will: So, I guess my recommendation is to remove the python you manually installed, then try the above command again. And then once you've got that working, install python, then ubuntu-desktop, and you should be back to normal. | 11:12 |
| akis | cfhowlett: is any chance that libreoffice stored a cache file with the updated information which finally i didn't save by mistake? | 11:12 |
| Flannel | will: Well, if you can simply "sort out" the configurations, that's sufficient as well. | 11:12 |
| will | Flannel: i have tried almost every solution still no success it there any way to recover using live cd | 11:13 |
| Flannel | will: The LiveCD can't do anything more than we can do. (Well, other than reinstall, which I suppose does count as 'some way'.) | 11:14 |
| cfhowlett | akis, *posssibly* in .tmp according to paths used by Libreoffice | 11:15 |
| cfhowlett | or .config/libreoffice/4/user | 11:15 |
| will | Flannel: yup , if nothing works out then i have to again setup my system . nd it is the worst thing that can happen to me today :( | 11:16 |
| Flannel | will: Trying to do something, breaking it horribly, trying to fix, and then giving up and reinstalling is the best way to learn about your system. | 11:17 |
| Flannel | will: But like I said, it's a python versioning issue, so if you can sort it out (see the error message before the dpkg error, it's a python runtime error having to do with the wrong path, you may be able to figure it out) | 11:17 |
| Abe_ | madjoe: you need alls those use the once from 14.04 + the extra 64 bit package apt-get install lib32stdc++6 if you have an 64 bit system "probably*" try to get a .deb driver from here http://support-au.canon.com.au/ then force the architechture: sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture *.deb . | 11:18 |
| Flannel | will: Actually, lets try this. Try `sudo apt-get purge libpython2.7-minimal` and then `sudo apt-get install libpython2.7-minimal` | 11:19 |
| Flannel | will: (and then try installing python2.7-minimal again) | 11:19 |
| akis | cfhowlett: in /home? | 11:19 |
| will | Flannel: yeah i think i have python, python2,2.7,2.7-config,3,3.4,3.4m,3m omg on my system . | 11:19 |

| hil | ...\o/ | 12:29 |
| _SLM_ | :) | 12:29 |
| belgianguy | _SLM_: you might also want to look into what "autoremove" does, it might be of use :) | 12:30 |
| Team24North | ok it works. thx for your help | 12:30 |
| xubuntu787 | hi, | 12:30 |
| _SLM_ | I'll have a look belgianguy, thanks for the tip | 12:31 |
| linuxlove | BluesKaj, i have a website that my customers need to send message to my sms center and get a verify code | 12:31 |
| linuxlove | BluesKaj, what is sms-tools? | 12:31 |
| linuxlove | BluesKaj, is it a program in ubuntu? | 12:31 |
| BluesKaj | yes it is in the package manager, linuxlove | 12:32 |
| xubuntu787 | is it possible to split the system partition as i haven't created any while installation? | 12:32 |
| linuxlove | BluesKaj, i see just SMS in package manager | 12:32 |
| pers3us | BluesKaj: Is it like some uptime info? What is this sms thing used for? | 12:32 |
| hil | sms-tools is a sound/music program | 12:33 |
| pers3us | BluesKaj, hil huh? what is this SMS panel linuxlove is talking about? :) | 12:33 |
| xubuntu_user | hi | 12:34 |
| hil | pers3us, i have no udea | 12:34 |
| hil | idea | 12:34 |
| pers3us | :D | 12:34 |
| pers3us | same here. I am absolutely confused. | 12:34 |
| xubuntu_user | after updating ubuntu 14.04 it use wrong screen resolution, i cant set resolution to 1440 x 900 | 12:34 |
| belgianguy | I guess something to do with phone interaction | 12:35 |
| belgianguy | sending/receiving texts | 12:35 |
| belgianguy | like http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16253033/how-to-use-phone-modem-with-smstools3-on-ubuntu-12-04 | 12:35 |
| pers3us | But what could be the purpose? linuxlove do you want to send message to some phone? | 12:35 |
| hil | smstools3 is messaging server i guess | 12:35 |
| linuxlove | pers3us, no | 12:35 |
| pers3us | oh .. | 12:35 |
| hil | http://smstools3.kekekasvi.com/ | 12:36 |
| belgianguy | linuxlove: what info do you want to store in SQL db? | 12:36 |
| gertS | xubuntu_user: You mean in graphical tools, right? | 12:37 |
| gertS | Did you edit your Xconfig, or use non-free graphical drivers? | 12:37 |
| linuxlove | belgianguy, the code that customer send by phone need to store in database | 12:37 |
| xubuntu_user | i reinstalled video driver | 12:37 |
| xubuntu_user | and 1440 900 is missing | 12:37 |
| bekks | xubuntu_user: And whichh video driver is it and how did you install it? | 12:38 |
| linuxlove | belgianguy, and i need to retrive data from database in my php code | 12:38 |
| pers3us | linuxlove: Basically you need SMS gateway to recieve the messages? | 12:38 |
| xubuntu_user | nvidia 304 | 12:38 |
| linuxlove | pers3us, yes | 12:38 |
| xubuntu_user | from settings aditional drivers | 12:38 |
| belgianguy | linuxlove: I'd think you'd need either expore if there is an API/event handler you can hook into | 12:38 |
| CoolRabbit | CoolRabbit | 12:38 |
| linuxlove | pers3us, i dunno how can i configure a sms gateway on ubuntu | 12:38 |
| belgianguy | eg something like 'onMessageReceived' -> execute this code (script that writes to db) | 12:39 |
| pers3us | linuxlove: check out the link hil shared. It is what you are looking for. | 12:39 |
| pers3us | http://smstools3.kekekasvi.com/ | 12:39 |
| CoolRabbit | do we have any known problems with Unity-tweaks hotcorners? | 12:40 |
| gertS | xubuntu_user: sorry, I use AMD. | 12:41 |
| gertS | Drivers can be a bitch, though. Maybe you have more luck setting your res with the tool Xrandr, if you don't use it already? | 12:41 |
| belgianguy | linuxlove: http://smstools3.kekekasvi.com/index.php?p=configure -> look for "eventhandler = filename" | 12:41 |
| belgianguy | Specifies an external program or script that will execute whenever a message was sent, received or failed. | 12:41 |
| gertS | Alternatively, for GUI: ARandR. | 12:42 |
| linuxlove | belgianguy, do i need a modem for that? | 12:43 |
| belgianguy | linuxlove: yeah, I think so, how would you connect to the cellphone network otherwhise? | 12:44 |
| bekks | linuxlove: Depends on how you want to connect your phone. | 12:44 |
| bekks | belgianguy: by using a phone :) | 12:44 |
| tete_ | hi, is this also the channel for 16.04 or is there an alpha channel? | 12:44 |
| belgianguy | bekks: yeah, but he wants to receive texts from phones | 12:44 |
| linuxlove | belgianguy, i live at iran is this service available here | 12:44 |
| bekks | belgianguy: Then he needs a phone. | 12:44 |
| bekks | belgianguy: a modem cant receive texts. | 12:45 |
| bekks | linuxlove: you need a cellphone connected to your computer. | 12:45 |
| tete_ | i copied the mini.iso for 16.04 to a usb stick with dd, but when i select the usb stick for booting being an uefi device, it looks like as if the loader would work but then the selection screen comes back again | 12:46 |
| tete_ | like if something would block the boot process? | 12:46 |
| ed_1 | can someone help please? i recently changed the pci wifi card on my laptop and now all my pci networks disappear after standby or reboot. they return after power out/battery out....5min...reboot. etc/network/interfaces has just # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) .auto lo.iface lo inet loopback. the wifi card shows under nm but with hardware switch is OFF (its not) and 3g card is absent. i looked up similar problems and solutions but no good so f | 12:46 |
| ed_1 | ar. | 12:46 |
| belgianguy | bekks: ah, I see, I just thought of connecting to the cellphone network (2G?) | 12:46 |
| pers3us | bekks: belgianguy linuxlove, the best way to go about is to integrate with some service provider. It is the easiest thing to do. | 12:46 |
| bekks | belgianguy: Which you need a cellphone for. :) | 12:46 |
| belgianguy | bekks: true :p | 12:46 |
| bekks | pers3us: integrating with a cellphone provide means: you need a phone. | 12:46 |
| belgianguy | pers3us: so a dongle with a SIM card would not fly? | 12:47 |
| pers3us | bekks: Actually the phone part is taken care by some provider. They will expose some api that you can access to get the updates on the messages recieved | 12:47 |
| bekks | pers3us: which you need a phone for. | 12:47 |
| pers3us | belgianguy: I am not sure how much configuration is required for that. | 12:48 |
| bekks | pers3us: I've done that ages ago with a Nokia. | 12:48 |
| bekks | pers3us: No provider integration needed at all, just a phone. | 12:48 |
| === mohammad is now known as linuxlove | ||
| pers3us | I had done something similar long time ago. bekks, what you are talking about works alright, but probably is not a good option for some vendor | 12:48 |
| linuxlove | i dunno what do i need now | 12:48 |
| pers3us | or some website. | 12:48 |
| bekks | linuxlove: You need to clear up what you are actually wanting to do. | 12:49 |
| bekks | linuxlove: whats the big picture behind using smstools3? | 12:49 |
| pers3us | linuxlove: bekks is right. you need to elaborate a bit. If this is some development that you are doing, and there is some website, using a third party sms gateway provider is better than setting up your own infrastructure. | 12:50 |
| linuxlove | bekks, when my customer put a case for sale on my website he gets a code from me he should message that code to my sms center | 12:50 |
| pers3us | and if it is a hobby, go ahead and route messages from phone to your database. it isn't complicated enough. | 12:50 |
| pers3us | linuxlove: It would be better if you used some third party gateway provider. It is easier that way. | 12:51 |
| bekks | linuxlove: at that point, pers3us is right. | 12:51 |
| linuxlove | i need to save phone number and code on database | 12:51 |
| pers3us | So these gateway providers will give you apis which you can call, which will return the phone number and the code that was sent to these gateways. | 12:52 |
| linuxlove | as i have protocol with phone companies the pay of the money is just with phone credit | 12:53 |
| linuxlove | and when a customer send that code he pay with phone credit for advertsment | 12:54 |
| linuxlove | pers3us, i dunno how can i configure what you say | 12:54 |
| bekks | Then you need to integrate with a 3rd party gateway provider. You dont need to providde the messaging hardware for your customers. | 12:55 |
| ed_1 | bump: can someone help please? i recently changed the pci wifi card on my laptop and now all my pci networks disappear after standby or reboot. they return after power out/battery out....5min...reboot. etc/network/interfaces has just # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) .auto lo.iface lo inet loopback. the wifi card shows under nm but with hardware switch is OFF (its not) and 3g card is absent. i looked up similar problems and solutions but no goo | 12:56 |
| ed_1 | d so far. | 12:56 |
| bekks | linuxlove: there is no need for messaging me in private, please keeo it in the channel. thank you. | 12:56 |
| pers3us | I don't know any provider in Iran so I can't help with actual documentation, here is a global one https://www.twilio.com/sms | 12:56 |
| belgianguy | ed_1: do you have any specs to share | 12:56 |
| crond | ed_1, what kind of card is it? | 12:57 |
| belgianguy | ed_1: card brand/model number/OS version/ | 12:57 |
| linuxlove | pers3us, we have irancell here | 12:57 |
| linuxlove | irancell provider | 12:58 |
| bekks | linuxlove: So talk to twilio.com wether you can use their service in Iran, too. | 12:58 |
| ed_1 | hi guys, i upgraded from intel stock abg to abgn also intel, shall i pastie dmesg or what? thanks | 12:58 |
| pers3us | linuxlove: talk to irancell then. Their support will help you better than us. | 12:58 |
| linuxlove | bekks, you mean i dont need any hardware? | 12:58 |
| bekks | linuxlove: No, using twilio.com you dont need any hardware. Talk to them, and talk to Irancell, too. | 12:59 |
| ed_1 | just checking card model | 12:59 |
| linuxlove | i get access denid from https://www.twilio.com/sms | 12:59 |
| belgianguy | linuxlove: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiqupYG8ZqU here they use an USB dongle to send texts | 13:00 |
| crond | ed_1, try lspci | grep Network | 13:00 |
| pers3us | belgianguy: I don't think that should be the approach. He is running a website after all. | 13:00 |
| bekks | linuxlove: then yiu need to talk to Irancell. | 13:01 |
| ed_1 | product: PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection | 13:01 |
| pers3us | linuxlove: How are you sending message in the first place? | 13:01 |
| belgianguy | pers3us: ah, if he has no access to hardware, he needs to use 3rd party services indeed | 13:01 |
| linuxlove | pers3us, what do you mean? | 13:01 |
| ed_1 | 0b:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61) | 13:01 |
| pers3us | linuxlove: You have to send some message which the customer needs to send back to a certain number right? | 13:02 |
| linuxlove | pers3us, yes | 13:02 |
| ed_1 | 3945 was the old card | 13:02 |
| pers3us | linuxlove: So how are you sending the message to customer? | 13:02 |
| xubuntu_user | can anyone help me ? how can i set custom resolution in xubuntu? | 13:02 |
| pers3us | xubuntu_user: There was a simple option in xfce iirc. | 13:03 |
| ed_1 | Bus 003 Device 013: ID 1199:6855 Sierra Wireless, Inc. also missing | 13:03 |
| crond | ed_1, try sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi and then sudo modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 | 13:03 |
| crond | see if that helps | 13:03 |
| linuxlove | pers3us, no , he see from website that he should send message to the number that he see for example number 20000010 and code=1245 | 13:04 |
| xubuntu_user | i want to chane screen resolution to 1440x900 and this res. is missing from list | 13:04 |
| xubuntu_user | change | 13:04 |
| bekks | xubuntu_user: Does your screen even support that resolution? | 13:04 |
| linuxlove | pers3us, he should send code=1245 to number 20000010 by phone | 13:04 |
| crond | ed_1, if it does, add options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 to /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf , but do it manually first to see if that fixes the issue | 13:04 |
| ed_1 | rmmod: ERROR: missing module name. | 13:05 |
| ed_1 | modprobe: FATAL: Error running remove command for iwlwifi | 13:05 |
| xubuntu_user | yes | 13:05 |
| crond | Huh | 13:05 |
| linuxlove | pers3us, he see this in website when he fill form for sale a case | 13:05 |
| bekks | ed_1: sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi | 13:06 |
| xubuntu_user | after update res changed to 1150 860 | 13:06 |
| bekks | ed_1: that will remove that module. | 13:06 |
| gertS | ubuntu_user: Try the following in a command line: xrandr | 13:06 |
| linuxlove | pers3us, i just need to match phone number and code from database | 13:06 |
| ed_1 | oops, im stupid, cut and paste too much | 13:06 |
| gertS | It will all avaiable display resolutions. | 13:06 |
| bekks | linuxlove: you need to talk to Irancell. | 13:07 |
| linuxlove | pers3us, did you get it? | 13:07 |
| pers3us | linuxlove: That is fine, what I want to know is, how are u sending the message? Are you calling some API | 13:07 |
| bekks | pers3us: Yes, since he needs to send the message to the customer, by cellphone. Irancell issue. | 13:07 |
| ed_1 | rmmod: ERROR: missing module name. | 13:07 |
| ed_1 | modprobe: FATAL: Error running remove command for iwlwifi | 13:07 |
| linuxlove | bekks, i dont need to send message i just need to recieve message | 13:08 |
| crond | you may be using iwl4965 then, but I am not sure of a fix for that | 13:08 |
| gertS | ubuntu_user: Look if 1440x980 or whatever even shows as supported. | 13:08 |
| bekks | linuxlove: which is the same technically, you need to use some API. | 13:08 |
| linuxlove | just customer send code to my sms center | 13:08 |
| bekks | linuxlove: And this API can be provided by Irancell, e.g. | 13:09 |
| pers3us | linuxlove: oh, alright. You need to get in touch with Irancell to do that. | 13:09 |
| pers3us | bekks is right, just talk to their support. They will explain everything. | 13:09 |
| linuxlove | okay | 13:09 |
| linuxlove | for last question | 13:09 |
| hicoleri | How do I make an application restart even after it closes unexpectedly (like after an error)? I'm trying to do this with redshift. | 13:10 |
| linuxlove | i dont need to hardware then? | 13:10 |
| bekks | linuxlove: You asked that three times now, and your question was already answered. | 13:10 |
| linuxlove | bekks, okay | 13:11 |
| pers3us | bekks: :D | 13:11 |
| linuxlove | thanks guys | 13:11 |
| qlats | Ada | 13:12 |
| pers3us | hicoleri: upstart? | 13:12 |
| hicoleri | pers3us:how? | 13:14 |
| pers3us | hicoleri: This is a good guide. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-a-linux-service-to-start-automatically-after-a-crash-or-reboot-part-1-practical-examples | 13:15 |
| pers3us | hicoleri: basically you need to configure upstart script, i.e. make it a service, then have "respawn" in your config. You can set respawn parameters like "respawn limit 2 5". This tells how many retries it has to do. | 13:17 |
| hicoleri | pers3us:okay | 13:18 |
| gertS | xubuntu_user: a good guide would be wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xrandr Maybe, just your systems' screen autodetection got defunct. | 13:18 |
| pers3us | hicoleri: Check this one, it is without digitalocean's droplets. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-a-linux-service-to-start-automatically-after-a-crash-or-reboot-part-2-reference | 13:19 |

| CoolRabbit | anyone know how to make a boot_grub partition so my Mac continues to boot my Ubuntu after I reshaped my partitions? | 13:24 |
| CoolRabbit | 2 - can I resize my / partition while using Ubuntu or would it be better to boot a rescue DVD? | 13:25 |
| linuxlove | hey pers3us did you watch that video? | 13:25 |
| pers3us | linuxlove: Nope. | 13:25 |
| crond | CoolRabbit, you can't resize a partition that is in use. You'd have to unmount it. | 13:25 |
| belgianguy | CoolRabbit: making a backup can save you much headaches | 13:25 |
| linuxlove | pers3us, is not useful for me? | 13:26 |
| CoolRabbit | crond ... thx ... | 13:26 |
| linuxlove | pers3us, they use from a usb | 13:26 |
| CoolRabbit | crond do you know how to flag a partition to grub_boot from the 14.04 install media? | 13:27 |
| linuxlove | pers3us, could you take look at it? | 13:27 |
| pers3us | linuxlove: I didn't watch the video so can't comment on that. But as far as I understand, if you have a wesbite running, and it is hosted somewhere which most probably is not your own premise, any sort of hardware access won't work | 13:27 |
| linuxlove | it is on my own | 13:27 |
| linuxlove | my server is this ubuntu that i am running | 13:28 |
| pers3us | linuxlove: That is not a good idea either. | 13:28 |
| CoolRabbit | belgianguy, my /home is in a separate partition ... my stuff are safe | 13:28 |
| linuxlove | pers3us, why ? | 13:28 |
| linuxlove | pers3us, my server is this system at the moment | 13:28 |
| linuxlove | pers3us, but i cant understand how they use usb for that | 13:29 |
| pers3us | linuxlove: Can you guarantee uptime or power outage etc? Can you handle the traffic when there are open connections? | 13:29 |
| crond | CoolRabbit, I do not, sorry. I'd have to google it. | 13:29 |
| pers3us | linuxlove: I am not sure about that. I have never done anything of that sort. | 13:29 |
| CoolRabbit | thx Ill google by myself ;) | 13:29 |
| pers3us | CoolRabbit: Don't you have to use some other bootloader for mac? | 13:30 |
| crond | CoolRabbit, sounds like a plan :) | 13:30 |
| linuxlove | pers3us, it is my website for test now | 13:30 |
| pers3us | CoolRabbit: I thought it was chameleon | 13:30 |
| linuxlove | i am testing all thing on it | 13:30 |
| pers3us | linuxlove: Doesn't matter, when it goes live, how will you ensure that you have physical access, i.e. you are able to plug your usb dongle there. | 13:31 |
| linuxlove | pers3us, i am in doubt | 13:32 |
| linuxlove | pers3us, but i cant cost at the moment | 13:33 |
| tete_ | i downloaded now 16.04 alpha2 iso and booted from that, uefi setup works but: where is the advanced installer?! i would like to use the ncurses based advanced installer (which worked like a charm in the mini.iso) - where is it? | 13:33 |
| CoolRabbit | pers3us, I use the EFInt and it works fine ... In newer Macs it seems Grub will suffice though ... I ave a old (2008) macbook and rEFind works marvelous | 13:33 |
| CoolRabbit | . I use rEFind ... sorry | 13:33 |
| pers3us | oh ya sorry rEFind .. not chameleon. | 13:33 |
| pers3us | chameleon is for hackintosh. | 13:33 |

| linuxlove | pers3us, what is a usb dongle | 13:34 |
| linuxlove | ? | 13:34 |
| pers3us | linuxlove: It's basically a GSM modem. | 13:35 |
| DzAirmaX | one simple question, I have a nano process running and I ant to go back into it, how can I do ? | 13:35 |
| linuxlove | pers3us, for begining of my website in your opinion is it useful for me to buy a usb dongle | 13:36 |
| crond | o.O | 13:37 |
| linuxlove | pers3us, or use from API from now | 13:37 |
| DzAirmaX | thats the command kill -CONT | 13:37 |
| DzAirmaX | found it take care guyz, have a nice one xD | 13:37 |
| pers3us | linuxlove: At this point, I don't know if you understand the problem. Service providers generally provide some free API calls for testing and integration. You should get in touch with them. As far as USB dongle is concerned, you need to think about what you are building than asking here. | 13:38 |
| linuxlove | pers3us, thanks | 13:39 |

| imthenachoman | hello guys. i've got a fresh install of ubuntu. there is a command that configures apt-get upgrade so that when there are readme files it will "more" or "less" them so the user can read the details. so when they do apt-get upgrade they will see the contents of the file and have to q to quit the more for that file so it can continue the upgrade. anyone know the command? | 13:55 |
| belgianguy | quadrupel: I'd gather that's due to your virtualisation, not Ubuntu per se | 13:55 |
| quadrupel | belgianguy, what can I do to solve that issue or to find out what the problem is? | 13:56 |
| bekks | quadrupel: update the guest additions, possibly. | 13:57 |
| bekks | quadrupel: If thath doesnt help, the next step would be the VMware Knowledgebase. | 13:57 |
| quadrupel | ok. thanks | 13:58 |

| everson | Hi. I use a laptop with a docking station. I also use multiple Workspaces on my Ubuntu desktop which I use to categorise open windows (ie: Workspace 1 for IDE, 2 for browser, 3 for documents, etc.). When I dock / undock my laptop, my workspace windows get jumbled up and I have to resort them. Is this a known issue? Is there a work-around? Thanks. | 14:20 |

| StephenS | its a taken by phone | 15:13 |

| StephenS | its because portrait and landscape on android | 15:13 |
| ign0s | xD | 15:13 |
| belgianguy | StephenS: can you remove that ? :) | 15:13 |
| StephenS | but now I need a way to rotate it on ubuntu | 15:13 |
| StephenS | I could remove that, but it requires decoding and encoding for each pic | 15:14 |
| StephenS | I want a simpler method :) | 15:14 |
| NegativeFlare | Wow, the wiki is down | 15:14 |
| belgianguy | StephenS: the code for setting backgrounds takes it into account | 15:14 |
| belgianguy | so I'm afraid that's the only way, strip the rotation info by script? | 15:15 |

| ulrike_ | my dvd-rw drive is not recognised I think (when I check the kernel messsages with "tail -f | dmesg" it doesn't show anything if a CD is entered). The drive makes noise though | 16:12 |
| ulrike_ | where do I start when I want to get it working? | 16:13 |
| daftykins | drive firmware tells it to spin up media and begin to read even if the OS isn't really communicating with it | 16:13 |
| daftykins | i think you have your command backwards, but see if your brand of drive comes up in dmesg at all - otherwise check the connections | 16:14 |
| ulrike_ | is a cd drive usually listed in lspci? | 16:14 |
| ulrike_ | I can't locate mine in the results | 16:14 |
| daftykins | no because it's not a PCI device | 16:14 |
| daftykins | check it's detected in your BIOS | 16:15 |
| ulrike_ | will do, thx brb | 16:15 |
| daftykins | if it's modern enough to be SATA and it's definitely connected ok, it should be there - if it's PATA, check the jumper configuration on the back of the drive | 16:15 |
| ulrike_ | it's a notebook so I guess it is SATA, the notebook got shipped with windows vista | 16:16 |
| ulrike_ | guess it is sata | 16:16 |

| Nukien | 50MB/s is piss-poor | 16:48 |
| compdoc | both drives in the same PC and copy | 16:48 |
| Nukien | They're both local | 16:48 |
| compdoc | you mean net | 16:49 |
| Nukien | No - both in same system | 16:49 |
| compdoc | wow. slow drives | 16:49 |
| compdoc | or one is | 16:49 |
| Nukien | shouldn't be - toshiba 3tb sata3 7200rpm | 16:49 |
| compdoc | I would think 100-120MB/s | 16:50 |
| compdoc | rsync does a lot of checking, but I only use it for net transfers | 16:50 |
| Nukien | THey're even on separate asmedia pcie sata cards | 16:51 |
| compdoc | you ever benchmark them? the disk utility can test their speeds | 16:51 |
| compdoc | I suppose if the cards are sharing IRQs, it might make it slow | 16:52 |

| ChibaPet | Hey all. Reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MetaPackages there isn't a mention of Unity. Does the gnome-desktop-environment metapackage install Unity or Gnome Shell? What's the correct metapackage for a stock Unity environment? | 16:55 |
| Nukien | As in dd if=/dev/sdj of=/dev/sdk bs=4096 | 16:55 |
| compdoc | Nukien, possibly. I dont use dd, but others here are expert | 16:55 |
| ChibaPet | Nukien: What's the question? | 16:55 |
| Nukien | Fastest way to copy a 3tb drive to another | 16:55 |
| Nukien | Contains a couple of *huge* files, one is 2.3tb | 16:56 |
| Nukien | rsync only getting 50MB/s | 16:56 |
| compdoc | Nukien, btw, you can boot a live cd/usb of ubuntu desktop and run the benchmarks if you ever get curious | 16:56 |
| ChibaPet | Nukien: Someone once noted that cp is faster than dd. | 16:56 |
| ChibaPet | Nukien: That said, if it were me, I'd rsync and let it take the day. 50MB/s sounds not far from disk cap. | 16:56 |
| Nukien | Nah - should be getting way more than that I would think | 16:57 |
| Nukien | both sata3 | 16:57 |
| ChibaPet | Nukien: Spinning rust can't get anywhere near sata3's cap. | 16:57 |
| ChibaPet | Spinning rust can't, IIRC, hit sata2's cap. | 16:57 |
| ChibaPet | Even drives rated for sata3. | 16:57 |
| Nukien | true, but should be better than 50MB/s | 16:58 |
| ChibaPet | When I'm scrubbing a pool, I tend not to expect much better than 50-60M/s, and that's pretty near ideal for speed. | 16:58 |
| Nukien | Wow - my media box gets 200MB/s on one pool and over 400MB/s on the other | 16:59 |
| Nukien | for a scrub | 16:59 |
| ChibaPet | Hrm. I'm envious. :P | 16:59 |
| Nukien | 5x 3tb drives per pool | 16:59 |
| ChibaPet | raidz? I just use mirrors here. | 17:00 |
| Nukien | yup raidz | 17:00 |
| ChibaPet | I'd imagine raidz can hit all the components at once when scrubbing. Unsure. | 17:00 |
| ChibaPet | I think what I'm seeing is much closer to normal single-disk performance. | 17:00 |
| Nukien | cp doesn't have a progress meter to see how fast it's going - any other suggestions ? | 17:01 |
| MonkeyDust | Nukien rsync --progress | 17:01 |
| BluesKaj | tarvid, if you can get to the VT/TTY, sudo apt install nvidia-361 | 17:01 |
| Nukien | MonkeyDust, That's what's giving 50MB/s | 17:01 |
| ChibaPet | If it were me I'd just stick with dd or rsync, even if they're not wicked fast. Assuming you're moving *onto* ZFS it'll be a one-time problem. | 17:01 |
| Nukien | This is a snapraid parity disk until I convert that backup box to full zfs | 17:02 |
| Nukien | Heh probably lost any potential speedup from an alternative method just with the bitching about it in here | 17:02 |
| ChibaPet | :P | 17:02 |
| SchrodingersScat | think of the future though | 17:03 |
| ChibaPet | In the future he'll be doing it with zfs send/receive :P | 17:03 |
| Nukien | aye for zfs :) | 17:04 |
| Nukien | Hrm - I suppose I could just let snapraid re-create the parity file on the next sync | 17:04 |
| ChibaPet | So, would I be correct in positing that I don't install any of the desktop environment metapackages, but just the unity package? Or is there a Unity desktop metapackage I'm missing? | 17:04 |

| Nukien | I gotta say, for a bunch of random disks, snapraid is great | 17:06 |
| daftykins | you only know how good a RAID setup is once disks start dying. | 17:07 |
| Nukien | Tested once so far, worked fine. This is a backup box for the main media (zfs) box, so not *too* worried | 17:08 |
| daftykins | then you can judge it :) though here's a fun fact - making rational decisions to repair RAID volumes is so much easier when it's not your personal data :) | 17:08 |
| Nukien | Plus critical stuff is up in crashplan, so 3x copies | 17:08 |
| ChibaPet | Crashplan is painful if you ever need to restore from bare metal. | 17:09 |
| ChibaPet | I'm a fan of SATA enclosures and a $25 safe deposit box at a bank, swapped weekly. | 17:10 |
| daftykins | we're going a bit off topic now - but i seem to recall reading some service similar to that will ship out a disk if you want to restore | 17:10 |
| Nukien | daftykins, that's backblaze | 17:10 |
| daftykins | i'm sure it's more than just them. | 17:10 |
| Nukien | And Amazon S3 I think | 17:10 |
| ChibaPet | So, my plan - someone please shoot it down if I'm confused - is to install ubuntu-desktop (which says it installs gnome on that meta package) and end up with a default Unity install. | 17:10 |
| ChibaPet | s/package/& page/ | 17:11 |
| BluesKaj | tarvid, is this a laptop with hybrid graphics AKA Optimus? | 17:11 |
| Nukien | ChibaPet, Crashplan is good - I can spin up an ubuntu server with it installed in no time, or install on a spare win7 box | 17:11 |
| daftykins | ChibaPet: not gnome but unity, which is technically a gnome mod/theme type thing | 17:11 |
| ChibaPet | daftykins: That makes it make sense then. | 17:11 |
| Nukien | mediabox has main account, other local systems back up to mediabox | 17:11 |
| ChibaPet | I'm doing a server install for a friend so he can have the RAID/LUKS he's used to, but then he needs an environment on it and I don't want to saddle him with Gnome Shell. | 17:12 |
| daftykins | so it's already an abortion of a server ;) | 17:12 |
| ChibaPet | And he'd shoot himself if I gave him i3 or what I use. | 17:12 |
| Nukien | i3 ? | 17:12 |
| daftykins | hell i'd shoot you too. | 17:12 |
| rory | ChibaPet: try lubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop they might be a bit lighter? | 17:12 |
| rory | ChibaPet: for remote stuff | 17:12 |
| daftykins | Nukien: the flavour of the week for the Linux youth ;) | 17:12 |
| ChibaPet | rory: It's not a server. You just can't do RAID and LUKS with the desktop installer. | 17:13 |
| daftykins | yes you can | 17:13 |
| Nukien | ChibaPet, Got my root on zfs (on luks) script working nicely now | 17:13 |
| Nukien | It's 14.04 though | 17:13 |
| ChibaPet | daftykins: Nah, this is well covered. You can if you do a hand install with debootstrap in a shell. I'm not interested. | 17:13 |
| daftykins | ChibaPet: no it's not that involved either | 17:14 |
| ChibaPet | Nukien: That works. The DKMS hosed me once, which is why I'm focussing on Xenial lately. | 17:14 |
| daftykins | i think you might want to do more reading :) | 17:14 |
| === michael__ is now known as Guest94471 | ||
| Nukien | gotta go change brake pads on wife car - later | 17:14 |
| ChibaPet | daftykins: Nah, I actually know how it works. But for kicks, what's your recommendation to get MD-RAID and LUKS out of the desktop installer? | 17:14 |
| daftykins | please bear in mind if you're doing things with xenial, you should be over in #ubuntu+1 until it's released (just checking) | 17:14 |
| ChibaPet | daftykins: My question about metapackages was more general. Let's pretend that question was for Trusty. | 17:15 |
| daftykins | no you're missing my point, we don't need to pretend anything - just bear in mind if anything is xenial specific - that's the place to go - call it a friendly reminder. | 17:15 |
| ChibaPet | Then call this a friendly note of thanks. | 17:16 |
| daftykins | well i don't do encryption so i can't comment on that - but you definitely can boot desktop, install mdadm, then partition and install to prepared RAID mount points | 17:16 |
| linocisco | hi all, how can I check my ubuntu version? | 17:16 |
| ChibaPet | daftykins: Right, or you can use the server installer and have it done cleanly and easily for you. :P | 17:16 |
| daftykins | linocisco: cat /etc/issue | 17:16 |
| daftykins | or lsb_release -d | 17:16 |
| daftykins | ChibaPet: horses for courses, we don't all use hand-holding methods since we might want something different | 17:17 |
| daftykins | however i'm too sane to put an OS inside the same RAID as i use for storage ;) | 17:17 |
| dretnx | anyone uses Xara Xtreme? | 17:17 |
| ChibaPet | daftykins: Ah, the RAID in my case is just for the OS. Storage goes on ZFS. | 17:18 |

| KiloJuliet | I love ZFS and Ubuntu and I see that in 16.04 is going to have it officially available. When I was running it on 14.04 it had a bit of instability on one of my machines and ate loads of ram in order to be happy. Is that still going to be the case when we start to roll out 16.04 test machines? | 17:22 |
| KiloJuliet | I've only had luck with ZFS on SmartOS so far but I'm trying to keep my systems on ubuntu since it supports awesome features like pci-passthrough and its quite a bit more familiar to me | 17:23 |

| milan | how can i access phpmyadmin after installing it in ubuntu? | 17:25 |
| milan | here is what i did: http://goo.gl/b4Wvoe | 17:25 |
| BluesKaj | tarvid, use the left shift key right after the postpage | 17:26 |
| daftykins | milan: it should be available at localhost, depends where you're running a browser to test | 17:26 |
| daftykins | you might need to learn a bit about how apache works to get further :) | 17:26 |
| milan | daftykins: did you see my link? | 17:27 |
| milan | daftykins: whats left there? | 17:27 |
| daftykins | i didn't read it all, no | 17:28 |
| daftykins | milan: so did you reconfigure phpmyadmin as suggested? | 17:29 |
| daftykins | to be honest the use of phpmyadmin always points to a new user who should learn things the right way before trying to use such tools of convenience, in my personal opinion. | 17:29 |
| tarvid | I do that, get the mini logo, space, select F6, select no9modeset, then what? | 17:29 |
| milan | daftykins: of course | 17:29 |
| daftykins | milan: right, only you haven't stated what resulted from that | 17:30 |

| daftykins | learning web admin is something that should be done from the ground up really | 17:34 |
| daftykins | it doesn't help that apache configuration has become much more complex and spread across multiple files, in 14.04 and up | 17:35 |

| Windows3 | Did you try a restart? | 18:08 |
| AcidRain | yes sir | 18:08 |
| daftykins | do you mean via the session chooser? | 18:10 |
| Windows3 | try running gnome-control-center in terminal, hope that helps | 18:10 |
| AcidRain | daftykins, yes | 18:10 |
| AcidRain | Windows3, no it doesnt | 18:10 |
| daftykins | so this is Kubuntu - or did you install ubuntu then try adding KDE? | 18:11 |
| AcidRain | i installed ubuntu, then added KDE | 18:11 |
| daftykins | ok via what package? | 18:11 |
| AcidRain | ive done this 100s of times on previous ubuntu installs | 18:11 |
| AcidRain | er... hang on | 18:11 |
| daftykins | history | grep install | 18:11 |
| AcidRain | kubuntu-desktop | 18:12 |
| AcidRain | turns out there is a plasma-desktop | 18:12 |
| AcidRain | let me blindly try that as well | 18:12 |
| daftykins | typically KDE uses a different DM i think - but you could have a read on - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM | 18:13 |
| reisio | AcidRain: if you're switching, there's a little more involved to do it cleanly than just installing the -desktop set | 18:16 |
| reisio | historically, stuff like http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekubuntu | 18:16 |
| AcidRain | and that is? | 18:16 |
| reisio | AcidRain: too slow! :D | 18:16 |
| AcidRain | lol | 18:17 |
| Windows3 | I'd google a little more and try just a few more terminal commands, and if software is fixing it, I think it may be a hardware problem | 18:18 |

| dynamicsamurai | Hi, has anyone else had a problem with the latest update to linux-lowlatency? I'm on 15.10, so the version I have is 4.2.0-30.36, basically Xorg crashes with a segfault during boot. If I boot up with 4.2.0-30 generic, it is fine | 18:23 |
| dynamicsamurai | I'm running the default radeon driver | 18:23 |
| dynamicsamurai | (ie not fglrx) | 18:23 |
| daftykins | dynamicsamurai: there's a security advisory about X being killed by certain kernels of late, if you update again you might get a fixed release | 18:24 |
| dynamicsamurai | I did a fresh install today | 18:24 |
| daftykins | so is it updated or not | 18:24 |
| dynamicsamurai | let me double check software updater | 18:25 |
| dynamicsamurai | "the software on this computer is up to date" | 18:25 |
| dynamicsamurai | which makes sense. 4.2.0-30.36 came out yesterday | 18:25 |
| daftykins | mmm, well if one works over another you could just change your default until it's resolved :) | 18:26 |

| daftykins | why wireless? | 19:16 |
| linuxlove | daftykins, with cable? | 19:16 |

| wesleyotugo | daftykins: i want to run ubntu hardy in a old laptop | 19:16 |
| linuxlove | daftykins, is it possible to configure on smstools in ubuntu ? | 19:17 |
| daftykins | wesleyotugo: running LTS is very, very unwise - just try a supported release of lubuntu, it's more lightweight | 19:17 |
| daftykins | sorry not LTS, LTS is great! EOL is what i meant | 19:17 |
| daftykins | linuxlove: what are you trying to achieve? internet access via your mobile phone, or something else? | 19:18 |

What am I doing wrong? | 19:20 |
| daftykins | MeatHammer: my advice was to ask over in the channel ##networking | 19:20 |

| === mohammad is now known as Guest82595 | ||
| MeatHammer | oh im definately in there and asking but this namespaces thing is like some linux blackhole nobody ever bothered to document. | 19:21 |
| daftykins | lubuntu is even lighter still, so they tell us :) | 19:21 |
| daftykins | MeatHammer: what are you actually trying to achieve? conceptually, not with that specific technology. | 19:22 |
| === Guest82595 is now known as linuxlove | ||
| linuxlove | daftykins, i need to recieve message on my laptop and store them to sql | 19:22 |
| linuxlove | my sql | 19:22 |
| MeatHammer | daftykins: I'm interested in the use of namespaces over virtualization tech, so trying out network namespaces as a way to sandbox apps and scripts under linux. Yes, I know about iptables. | 19:22 |
| daftykins | linuxlove: really? why | 19:23 |
| daftykins | MeatHammer: sandboxing to me seems more like containerisation, not virt | 19:24 |
| linuxlove | daftykins, i am using my ubuntu as a server now and i configured apache and website on this system customers on my website need to send me message to verify a code for put their case for sale | 19:25 |
| wesleyotugo | daftykins: my problem is graphic drivers, i use ATI x700 which fall under kernel 2.6 or thereabout. When i use lubuntu the graphic is patchy | 19:25 |
| daftykins | linuxlove: i don't think connecting a phone directly is the way people achieve that - i would imagine there are services to provide it | 19:26 |
| niao | I still didnt upgrade my 15.04 ubuntu , i am noticing some bugs and some programs ceased to work !! | 19:26 |
| wesleyotugo | BluesKaj: my problem is not variation but a graphic driver that is only available for ubuntu hardy | 19:26 |
| daftykins | wesleyotugo: it should be using the radeon driver only - so open source, what did you try? 12.04 or 14.04 lubuntu would be worth a go. | 19:26 |
| linuxlove | daftykins, as i am in begin of my website i need to test my method | 19:26 |
| linuxlove | daftykins, i cant cost much at moment | 19:27 |
| daftykins | linuxlove: good luck then - but i think that's a mistake. | 19:27 |
| daftykins | wesleyotugo: don't try and install fglrx on such an old card, that'd be a waste of time | 19:27 |
| linuxlove | daftykins, do you know about costs that providers offer for this? | 19:27 |
| Jordan_U | niao: That's yet another reason to upgrade. You should upgrade. Using EOL releases is asking for trouble. | 19:28 |
| BluesKaj | wesleyotugo, which gpu ? | 19:29 |
| niao | Jordan_U ; please give me the command to run the upgrade from terminal ! | 19:29 |
| wesleyotugo | daftykins: not a recent fglr but a old version that works on ubuntu hardy, when i install fglr on hardy i want to know whether apps will work when downloaded and things like that ? | 19:29 |
| daftykins | wesleyotugo: no, as i've said using an old EOL release is not the answer - they are all insecure now | 19:29 |
| wesleyotugo | BluesKaj: ATI x700 | 19:29 |
| niao | Jordan_U ; I still receive updates though ! | 19:29 |
| daftykins | wesleyotugo: so if you have not tried lubuntu 12.04 or 14.04 - please do. | 19:30 |
| daftykins | also it's not fruitful to ask two of us in parallel ;) | 19:30 |
| wesleyotugo | daftykins: i have tried all variations of ubuntu both at 12.04 level and 14.04 level but the opengl is still patchy | 19:30 |
| daftykins | linuxlove: no, you will need to do some research on this | 19:31 |
| daftykins | wesleyotugo: ok, but you need one of these installed for us to help - using an EOL version is not supported and we will not help with that - it's not the answer. | 19:31 |
| Jordan_U | niao: I believe that "sudo do-release-upgrade" will do it. | 19:31 |
| daftykins | much the same as any sane person would not install windows 98 for someone with an old computer ;) | 19:31 |
| BluesKaj | wesleyotugo, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver , hardy is NOT your only choice | 19:32 |
| Jordan_U | wesleyotugo: I recommend installing Ubuntu 14.04 and coming back as it will be supported much longer than 12.04. | 19:32 |
| wesleyotugo | daftykins: well i know, was just curious. okay is there any way fglrx or and river open or closed source could work on my card ? and defintely not Gallium | 19:32 |
| niao | Jordan_U ; are you sure ? I dont want to mess my installation in this old desktop am using ! | 19:33 |

| daftykins | either 12.04.5 or 14.04.3 (or newer) | 19:34 |
| daftykins | you do not install 2.6.x kernels on supported releases | 19:34 |
| daftykins | i'm trying to helpfully suggest you stop thinking down those lines :) | 19:34 |
| niao | Jordan_U ; do i need to stop browsing while upgrading ? | 19:35 |

| wesleyotugo | daftykins: i have a fully updated ubuntu mate 15.10 partition and ubuntu gnome 14.04 if that is okay ? | 19:35 |
| daftykins | BluesKaj: methinks the glue factory would be best now | 19:35 |
| BluesKaj | daftykins, yeah , seems so ;-) | 19:35 |
| daftykins | wesleyotugo: no, neither release is appropriate for that age system | 19:35 |
| Ben64 | what? 14.04 is fine | 19:36 |
| daftykins | Ben64: not gnome on an unsupported card | 19:36 |
| Ben64 | the radeon driver supports the x700 | 19:36 |
| santa | Hi | 19:36 |
| daftykins | Ben64: right, but not well with a graphical DE is the impression i'm getting from this user | 19:37 |
| === santa is now known as Guest13246 | ||
| wesleyotugo | daftykins: i know, most apps wont work due to the fact they rely on recent kernel.. but it is possible if i downgrade all app to the 2.6.x supported version but meh | 19:37 |
| Guest13246 | Do your speek russioa | 19:37 |
| Guest13246 | & | 19:37 |
| Guest13246 | ? | 19:37 |
| Ben64 | wesleyotugo: no. that is not a solution | 19:37 |
| wesleyotugo | Ben64: what driver is that | 19:37 |
| MonkeyDust | !ru | 19:37 |
| ubottu | Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. | 19:37 |
| daftykins | wesleyotugo: no that is not a solution - please stop repeating what i've already said is a no-go. | 19:37 |
| Ben64 | wesleyotugo: its called "radeon" | 19:37 |
| daftykins | quite honestly that system sounds like it should be retired, or if it's a desktop, just swap out the card and be done with it | 19:37 |
| daftykins | *or* just get it working with lubuntu 14.04 as has been suggested 6+ times now :) | 19:38 |
| Jordan_U | niao: You might run into issues once your browser itself gets upgraded. Also note that there are no guarantees with upgrades (but that does *not* mean you should just stick with an insecure OS forever). | 19:38 |
| amazoniantoad | What is Unity Next? | 19:38 |
| wesleyotugo | daftykins: I am complaining about being able to use 3D apps like sweet home 3D that looks patchy and scrabby | 19:38 |
| daftykins | wesleyotugo: yeah so that's not going to happen on either release you have installed right now - so Lubuntu 14.04.3 or change the card. | 19:39 |
| daftykins | wesleyotugo: i'm going to stop replying now until this action has been taken | 19:39 |
| helpmemount | hey I'm trying to mount an unraid smb, but it's failing. I'm adding the following line to fstab: //192.168.2.27/myfiles /media/myfiles cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8 0 0 | 19:39 |
| niao | Jordan_U ; I see, thanks !! | 19:39 |
| helpmemount | But I get mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.2.27/myfiles, missing codepage or helper program, or other error | 19:40 |
| Jordan_U | niao: You're welcome. | 19:40 |
| daftykins | helpmemount: mixing uid and just "guest" doesn't sound right at all. | 19:40 |
| Ben64 | helpmemount: "guest" isn't an option i'm fairly sure | 19:40 |
| wesleyotugo | daftykins: its my father old laptop it runs windows 8.1 with Oblivion games at 30fps, it does pack a really lean muscle. I am a 3D artist and i want to use it for basic 3D modelling | 19:41 |
| helpmemount | Hi Ben, that part was taken straight from the wiki here | 19:41 |
| helpmemount | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently | 19:41 |
| daftykins | wesleyotugo: then Linux isn't the answer on that system | 19:41 |
| helpmemount | As I couldn't find one for SMB shares | 19:41 |
| Ben64 | well its wrong | 19:41 |
| helpmemount | what should I put in place please? | 19:42 |
| daftykins | username=guest maybe, but not just 'guest' | 19:42 |
| daftykins | or configure an actual user | 19:42 |
| Ben64 | try mounting it manually before putting it in fstab | 19:42 |
| helpmemount | good shout | 19:42 |
| charlie__2 | hello guys, is there any distro that would fit on a CD? | 19:42 |
| helpmemount | let me try mounting it manually first | 19:42 |
| charlie__2 | from the Ubuntu family | 19:42 |
| Ben64 | or maybe you don't have cifs installed | 19:42 |
| Team24North | hi guys | 19:43 |
| daftykins | lubuntu still fits on large CD-Rs with overburn, but really you should just give up if USB is an option | 19:43 |
| daftykins | if you don't have a USB flash drive, get one | 19:43 |
| charlie__2 | I can't boot from USB | 19:43 |
| helpmemount | I haven't installed cifs | 19:43 |
| helpmemount | that part I didn't understand | 19:43 |
| daftykins | charlie__2: due to BIOS support? look into plop to chainload USB from CD-R | 19:43 |
| helpmemount | would an apt-get install cifs do the trick? | 19:43 |
| wesleyotugo | daftykins: Does lubuntu fix kernel problem. Lubuntu fixes basic memory usage problem and it is not even more memory efficient like ubuntu mate. i had lubuntu 14.04 installed it, at first it was smooth then it got patchy and scrabby | 19:43 |
| Ben64 | read the wiki you posted helpmemount | 19:43 |
| daftykins | helpmemount: no, you're just making up packages | 19:43 |
| helpmemount | I will reread | 19:44 |
| daftykins | wesleyotugo: 'patchy and scrabby' are not technical terms for me to understand what you're talking about. | 19:44 |
| mcphail | charlie__2: does https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD help? | 19:44 |
| charlie__2 | daftykins: I have a spare SATA dvd reader that could come in handy with an USB adapter. I'll try that way. Otherwise is plop really the only solution? No distro fit on a CD anymore? | 19:44 |
| daftykins | wesleyotugo: i really don't think Linux is right for this system, perhaps give us the full make and model or a link to it. | 19:44 |
| charlie__2 | mcphail: I guess it's what I'm after! Is there a MinimalCD for Lubuntu? | 19:45 |
| daftykins | charlie__2: or you can install from the mini.iso if this system has working wired networking out of the box | 19:45 |
| Ben64 | note - minimal cd isn't a live cd | 19:45 |
| helpmemount | Not trying to be difficult @Ben64, but what part? It has the guest option that I mentioned, you told me it was wrong a minute ago | 19:45 |
| mcphail | charlie__2: not sure. You might be able to select lubuntu-desktop from that installer. I have never used it | 19:45 |
| Ben64 | helpmemount: the part where it tells you what to install to make it work | 19:45 |
| helpmemount | oh for the cifs install | 19:45 |
| helpmemount | Sorry | 19:45 |
| charlie__2 | is the mini.iso an official installation method? | 19:46 |
| Ben64 | yep | 19:46 |
| charlie__2 | nice, I'm looking for it | 19:46 |
| charlie__2 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall this must be the page :) | 19:47 |
| helpmemount | So after install cifs tools, that's working exactly as I had it. Thank you for your help Ben64 | 19:47 |
| Ben64 | helpmemount: cool | 19:48 |
| charlie__2 | Lubuntu Alternate fits on a CD, but I'm curious about that mini.iso :) | 19:49 |
| wesleyotugo | daftkins: http://imgur.com/qrGNanc That a screenshot of my problem | 19:49 |
| charlie__2 | thanks guys | 19:49 |
| === wanderer is now known as archaic | ||
| mcphail | charlie__2: if you're likely to be doing a few installs, the alternate CD would be better than the mini iso, as you wouldn't have to keep pulling all the files from the server. But for a single install, the mini iso would be fine, I'm sure | 19:52 |
| daftykins | wesleyotugo: in my opinion that computer is a bad fit for the software you want to use. | 19:52 |
| ahmet_ | hey | 19:53 |
| daftykins | wesleyotugo: as i said, and please pay attention this time - either run a supported release and we can investigate further... or replace the card. i will not reply again. | 19:53 |
| charlie__2 | mcphail: thank you very much :) I'm going to do only one install and the full alternate iso will do. I hope it will support this VERY old hardware | 19:53 |
| reisio | ahmet_: heyo | 19:53 |
| ahmet_ | do you speak Turksh | 19:54 |
| daftykins | mcphail: alternate hasn't existed for a long time | 19:54 |
| Jordan_U | wesleyotugo: Please pastebin the output of "dmesg" and the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log after seeing such corrupted images. | 19:55 |
| hep7 | hello | 19:55 |
| daftykins | Jordan_U: not much point since the wrong releases for such hardware are being used :) | 19:55 |
| charlie__2 | is this the right place to ask about Lubuntu? | 19:56 |
| daftykins | i mean, knock yourself out... but i think it's giving false hope and wasting time | 19:56 |
| Jordan_U | daftykins: I thought that screenshot was from a supported release. | 19:56 |
| daftykins | supported, but not appropriate for old hardware | 19:56 |
| hep7 | my ubuntu mate doesn't boot properly i believe this happened after update? | 19:56 |
| hep7 | dual boot with win10 | 19:57 |
| Jordan_U | charlie__2: Here and #lubuntu are both fine. #lubuntu might have more people familiar with LXDE. | 19:57 |
| charlie__2 | Jordan_U: thanks :) I'm wondering whether old serial ports are supported by current Lubuntu | 19:57 |
| ahmet_ | hep7_ how | 19:58 |
| hep7 | it eather boots to terminal or doesn't boot at all sometimes, (have to reboot few times) | 19:58 |
| hep7 | either* | 19:58 |
| mcphail | daftykins: there's alternate cd's listed for lubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Alternate_ISO | 19:58 |
| ahmet_ | ı win 7 with ubuntu making | 19:59 |
| hep7 | ? | 19:59 |
| Jordan_U | charlie__2: I would expect serial ports to work. What are you planning to use them for/with? | 19:59 |
| ahmet_ | English dont good | 19:59 |
| charlie__2 | Jordan_U to revive an old but still working printer | 19:59 |
| daftykins | mcphail: ah community only and lubuntu only, news to me - very niche though. | 19:59 |
| mcphail | daftykins: yes - I thought alternate had died as well | 20:00 |
| hep7 | ahmet_ it is ok, you don't have to answer, thanks. | 20:00 |
| charlie__2 | Jordan_U: it's paired with this OLD computer | 20:00 |
| Jordan_U | charlie__2: It's worth a try. You can test it from a LiveCD/USB before installing if you want. | 20:00 |
| charlie__2 | I'm not even sure how they're going to find cartridges | 20:01 |
| charlie__2 | Jordan_U: that's my roadmap :P | 20:01 |
| daftykins | mcphail: i think it still has, maybe that's just some old community attempts | 20:01 |
| ahmet_ | hep7_:ı can tell you | 20:02 |

| meurth | Hello, my keyboard has a third, Fn option for some keys, and I want to assign pi as one of these, but where are these in the keymap for English (US): /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us | 20:17 |
| wesleyotugo | daftykins: thats was a recent linux mint new install after i had tried all ubuntu variation. i have ran a supported release of lubuntu 14.04, 15.04,15.10 and the problem persist. what should i do , this same program works fine in windows ? | 20:18 |
| reisio | meurth: these what? | 20:18 |
| daftykins | wesleyotugo: so now you tell us Mint - we don't support Mint here. | 20:18 |
| daftykins | !mint | 20:18 |
| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 20:18 |
| meurth | reisio, as a third option for a key accessed by holding the Fn key. | 20:18 |
| daftykins | wesleyotugo: i've already said to install lubuntu 14.04 and come back so i will not be able to assist you until this is done. | 20:19 |
| reisio | meurth: that might be hardcoded in your hardware's circuitry | 20:19 |
| Jordan_U | wesleyotugo: I'm still waiting for information I've requested twice now. Are you having trouble getting it? | 20:19 |
| reisio | meurth: if 'xev' doesn't recognize it, for example, you will probably have to act on what Fn+other_key says, instead of Fn directly | 20:19 |
| Ricardus | I just had something happen that I dont think ever happened before | 20:20 |
| Ricardus | I currently have my laptop set to require your password to login after it comes out of screensaver mode | 20:20 |
| daftykins | ok...? | 20:21 |
| Ricardus | I must have intended to log in earlier, before I left the house, and typed in the password | 20:21 |
| Ricardus | and when I got back a few hours later the password was still there, and hitting enter allowed me in | 20:21 |
| meurth | reisio, reisio,I think you're right. All the Fn outputs are redundant. | 20:22 |
| Jordan_U | Ricardus: Please type out your whole question in one line and post it when you're done. | 20:22 |
| Ricardus | Why not set it up so if youve typed your password, and you dont log in, that the next time it comes out of screensaver mode, the password is cleared? | 20:22 |
| daftykins | i'm pretty sure there's a timeout where it blanks again | 20:23 |
| daftykins | Ricardus: if you walked away from your computer having typed in the password but not hit enter, i think you're asking for surprises | 20:23 |
| Ricardus | daftykins, it didnt for me. | 20:23 |
| reisio | that's an okay suggestion, but | 20:23 |
| reisio | it's quite impossible to prevent silly users from making their own lives hard | 20:23 |
| reisio | and the more complicated you make xscreensaver, the greater the chance it can be exploited | 20:24 |
| daftykins | Ricardus: maybe don't type your password in and walk away then :) | 20:24 |
| Ricardus | daftykins, maybe, but why WOULDNT the password be cleared the next time it came out of screensaver mode. Just seems like an obvious and easy security fix | 20:24 |
| reisio | s/xscreensaver/locker of your choice here/ | 20:24 |
| wesleyotugo | jaordan_U: Pardon me, it was not intentional. Here is the output of dmesg http://pastebin.com/5JD72gNz | 20:24 |
| daftykins | i agree it's not ideal, but i also think it's an irresponsible action | 20:24 |
| reisio | second guessing the end user is really annoying | 20:24 |
| wesleyotugo | jordan_U: Pardon me, it was not intentional. Here is the output of dmesg http://pastebin.com/5JD72gNz | 20:24 |
| daftykins | Ricardus: i came home and i put my keys in the door, then i walked away to the coffee shop - how dare my house not push the keys out and into my pocket?! | 20:24 |
| reisio | as a pref it'd be fine, but it'd necessarily complicate the software | 20:25 |
| daftykins | same stuff to my mind :) | 20:25 |
| Ricardus | daftykins, this is the first time ive ever done it. But I cant be the first and only person to ever do it. | 20:25 |
| Ricardus | Do you guys read Schneier on security? I mean seriously. He would describe that as BRITTLE | 20:25 |
| zh1 | wanna install flash on ubuntu gnome, what command does it on terminal? | 20:26 |
| daftykins | i can't type here how i'd describe that | 20:26 |
| Ricardus | People are going to be people. We're human. We occasionally make mistakes. This is an easy (and as I said before) obvious flaw that should be corrected. | 20:26 |
| Ricardus | Ive been running Ubuntu for years, and this is the first time I've ever commented in here. | 20:26 |
| daftykins | you might want to pursue finding/creating a bug if you care about this one | 20:27 |
| Jordan_U | Ricardus: The code is available if you want to provide a patch implementing this or you could pay someone else to write said patch. You can also file a bug report/feature request but I don't expect that anyone else will want to add that feature in their spare time (I may be wrong though). | 20:27 |
| daftykins | but you have to accept the edge case nature of what you've presented | 20:27 |
| Ricardus | And if I knew a good suggestion was going to met with silly wisecracks I wouldnt have bothered. | 20:27 |
| Ricardus | I dont think anyone in the security business would call this an "edge case" | 20:28 |
| Ricardus | its a flaw | 20:28 |
| Kang0 | Hi all | 20:28 |
| Ricardus | anyway. Good day to you all | 20:28 |
| Jordan_U | Ricardus: Then file a bug report please. | 20:28 |

| thezugswang | Jordan_U, I can log in fine using Neuveau, but the fonts are messed up. I think that I need the propietray drivers anyway, since I play games on this PC | 22:51 |

| myessail | I just installed 15.10 on my macbook, and it is running very hot. I've been through all the suggestions on google with no luck (and most of them are pretty old too). is there anything else I can try? | 22:57 |
| benfitzpatrick | hi everyone well im a virgin noob to linux and ubuntu and computers period and i have no idea how to install a OS or anything period on a pc. So i felt i come in this chat and see if someone can help me install Ubuntu on my laptop? | 23:00 |
| benfitzpatrick | see, i had someone install my windows OS and i havent even heard of linux period | 23:01 |
| === Niv_ is now known as NivFreak | ||
| rypervenche | benfitzpatrick: That is a lie. I have helped you install Gentoo on your machine multiple times and you keep distro hopping. Stop asking people to walk you through Linux installations. | 23:02 |
| Jordan_U | thezugswang: I would be very surprised if that font problem is related to graphics drivers. | 23:03 |
| benfitzpatrick | rypervenche: ryper, if you seriously think i will ever do linux on my own, your only lying to yourself man | 23:03 |
| benfitzpatrick | that is a false hope that will never become reality | 23:04 |
| k1l | benfitzpatrick: rypervenche no need for personal attacks in here. benfitzpatrick we dont support handholding, we try to get you to learn to manage your OS yourself. so what is the real issue? | 23:04 |

| squarecircle | ohai, having trouble with pairing my bluetooth devices under debian and gnome. are there related problems under ubuntu? | 23:05 |
| benfitzpatrick | well im sorry kil, that IS the real issue | 23:05 |
| squarecircle | I would eventually change back to ubuntu, if its supporting my Hardware better ;) | 23:05 |
| benfitzpatrick | i have issues running it alone | 23:05 |
| benfitzpatrick | i really have no way to | 23:06 |
| k1l | squarecircle: depends. at least "it works for me" :) you can try a live usb and test it | 23:06 |
| squarecircle | k1l: I fear that it might work | 23:07 |
| squarecircle | k1l: I just spend the time to configure my freshly installed system :D | 23:07 |
| === sins-_w is now known as sins- | ||
| k1l | squarecircle: your choice :) | 23:07 |
| rypervenche | k1l: I just wanted people to be aware that that was a straight-up lie and he just admitted it. Feel free to help him if you wish. | 23:07 |
| benfitzpatrick | rypervenche: its NOT a lie ryper, you know i dont know Linux. if you think i do, your seriously wrong man | 23:08 |
| rypervenche | I'll leave this alone now. Not the place for this conversation. | 23:08 |
| squarecircle | rypervenche: want to help medebugging my buggy bluetooth? | 23:09 |
| benfitzpatrick | -sighs- | 23:09 |
| squarecircle | ;) | 23:09 |
| k1l | benfitzpatrick: start a live usb with ubuntu on it and start the installer. i am sure you will manage to install it. | 23:09 |
| k1l | rypervenche: thanks | 23:09 |
| benfitzpatrick | kil i did already try to boot a CD or usb of ubuntu i didnt | 23:09 |
| benfitzpatrick | i was flat out lost | 23:09 |
| k1l | benfitzpatrick: where exactly? | 23:09 |
| benfitzpatrick | kil i loaded it up and was freaked out and shut off the machine and was about ready to throw the PC out the window | 23:10 |
| rypervenche | squarecircle: First thing first we would need to see what wireless card you are using. lspci -nn | grep Network | 23:10 |
| k1l | benfitzpatrick: you keep saying: "i couldnt run the car, i couldnt run the car" but you are not saying what exactly didnt work. | 23:10 |
| benfitzpatrick | i mean i didnt know how to navigate the OS i didnt know where anything was, it was like learning asian | 23:11 |
| benfitzpatrick | it was like i was in japan | 23:11 |
| benfitzpatrick | and couldnt do anything | 23:11 |
| k1l | benfitzpatrick: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/install-ubuntu-desktop | 23:12 |
| benfitzpatrick | i was sitting there with a blank face and a dead stare | 23:12 |
| k1l | work with that. | 23:12 |
| benfitzpatrick | well i did look at that and got the same reaction | 23:12 |
| benfitzpatrick | it freaked me out | 23:12 |
| k1l | benfitzpatrick: stop trolling. | 23:12 |
| benfitzpatrick | well, im being 100 percent truthful to you | 23:13 |
| tgm4883 | benfitzpatrick: why are you trying to install ubuntu? | 23:13 |
| benfitzpatrick | because windows is not the OS i want and, it breaks all the time | 23:13 |

| k1l | benfitzpatrick: use the howto i just linked you. that works 100%. just follow the steps | 23:14 |
| benfitzpatrick | well the problem being kil, my parents demanded i use linux and i get someone to help me | 23:14 |
| tgm4883 | benfitzpatrick: a couple things | 23:14 |
| tgm4883 | benfitzpatrick: 1) his name is k1l. The number 1, not the letter i | 23:15 |
| benfitzpatrick | oh | 23:15 |
| tgm4883 | benfitzpatrick: 2) I doubt your parents said that, but it is comical that you tried to claim that | 23:15 |
| benfitzpatrick | well they really have | 23:15 |
| squarecircle | rypervenche: Product: Broadcom Bluetooth Device | 23:15 |
| benfitzpatrick | they're watching me over my shoulder as i talk to you | 23:15 |
| rypervenche | squarecircle: We will need the exact output of that command. Can you pastebin it? Also, what sort of problems are you having with pairing? | 23:16 |
| tgm4883 | benfitzpatrick: no they didn't and no they aren't. First, they would have to know what linux is, which in all likelyhood they don't. Even if they do, they wouldn't "demand that you use it and ask someone else for help" | 23:16 |
| benfitzpatrick | well my dad just for real said it | 23:17 |
| tgm4883 | benfitzpatrick: tell him to piss off | 23:17 |
| squarecircle | rypervenche: I click on "connect" the gui seems to click, but in sthe second the lcick animation is done it swichtes back | 23:17 |
| benfitzpatrick | well he said if they cuss at you, we will ground you and take away your laptop | 23:17 |
| Jordan_U | tgm4883: That's not helpful, please stay civil. | 23:17 |
