[00:19] COUCOU [00:21] hi newbie question... in ubuntu linux i have a file with this #include 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! [00:33] alive876___, not even LD_LIBRARY_PATH? [00:34] is there any reason to ever "clean" out linux's system?

[00:36] no, do i need it? === Barzogh_ is now known as Barzogh [00:36] temp files, system error files, and stuff like that? like you have to do with windows [00:38] alive876___, it usually is used by the compiler to locate shared libraries [00:39] alive876___, static libraries have to be passed on the compile command line iirc [00:40] 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 [00:41] ouroumov so basically just leave it alone [00:41] That's what I've always done for the five years I've used Ubuntu [00:42] ouroumov_, goldeneye? [00:42] stratum, yes [00:42] just clicked [00:43] ^^ [00:43] 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 [00:44] dillon_, hopefully that software shortage situation will gradually get better [00:45] Also note that you can actually install a lot of programs when you've been familiarized enough with the environment [00:45] 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 . [00:46] 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 === zenlot1 is now known as zenlot [01:03] Hi. Is there a way to install Ubuntu on a tablet?

[01:51] Is there a way to change how nautilus unmounts mounts when I click on the unmount button [01:53] Kang0 That sounds like it would take up a lot of compute time on a server, but maybe it's been done before [01:54] As ultimately people dont worry about machine but they think only about their convenient [01:55] monsterjamp: the disks program maybe [01:56] I meant unmounting samba shares fomr within nautilus [01:56] *from [01:57] The way nautilus is unmounting shares gives me an error, but if I unmount it from the terminal I get no issues [02:02] This is different..

[02:36] proxy [02:37] unless I'm mistaken proxy services use UDP [02:37] also i believe VOIP does too [02:45] 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.

[04:37] yeah it's just a text editor for coding. Sublime. [04:37] Darmani: CTRL + Mousewheel is a common pattern [04:38] ah there it goes! [04:38] CTRL + "+" and CTRL + "-" too [04:38] what do you want to zoom? the text or the view? [04:38] adrian_1908: I'm new to this OS. But I am forever in your debt. [04:38] and CTRL + "0" is often used to reset zoom level [04:38] No it had zoomed in and I wasn't sure why. [04:39] dou you using ubuntu? [04:39] wat [04:41] Hello, what is the difference between Xubuntu Beta 1, and Xubuntu daily builds ? [04:43] PcChip: Daily builds are always new, hence daily. The Betas are frozen states, milestones along the way if you will. [04:44] so as of today, Xubuntu Beta1 is almost exactly the same as Xubuntu Daily ? [04:44] https://gist.github.com/anonymous/563acff5c9b332d43c49 <-- WTF -- what is wrong? (trying to install Haskell/Stack) [04:44] also if I do apt-get dist-upgrade will that make my old "daily" install the same as downloading the latest "daily" ISO ? [04:46] 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] thank you Adrian [04:47] croop: And looky what else I ran across : https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/UTF-8 . [04:48] 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.

Should I just ask the question here? [06:26] recommend trying a complete poweroff, removing battery for few minutes. [06:26] if after booting still no luck try xswipe maybe? https://github.com/intersimone999/xSwipe [06:27] arch wiki actually has bunch of info that could be of use too https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics#Troubleshooting [06:27] Fuogo: yes [06:28] I had ubuntu 14 LTS installed and I did an upgrade to 15 [06:28] Now my laptop boots up to a command prompt login and is stuck [06:29] I cannot type my username. the system does not respond [06:29] I used a previous version installation CD and selected "try ubuntu" [06:31] so now I can connect to internet, but I see that my files are in a different disk/partition and not all files are accessible [06:31] my intention was to copy all files and then do a complete format and reinstall, but without being able to copy the files, I cannot do that [06:32] is there any way I can roll back to 14 LTS without losing my files? [06:33] so the inaccessible files are in another home (`~`) directory on a different partition? [06:34] Fuogo: i don't know about rolling back from where you're at now. things are obviously getting messy quick here [06:35] :( yes i see a partition like 469 GB file system and within that there are folders - bin, home etc. [06:35] Fuogo: if you're using a live session it's possible the partitions you need are not mounted [06:36] whats going on [06:36] partition gets mounted and i am able to see and copy some files, but others are locked (has a small lock icon at the bottom) [06:37] and you're accessing everything as ubuntu 15 instance? you're not booted to a live cd or anything or are you? [06:37] I have booted from a live cd [06:38] cannot login to the laptop directly. it gets stuck at login prompt (console). The GUI does not even come up [06:38] actually, i think you can reinstall ubuntu 14 (downgrading from 15) and that should return your file permissions to the way they were [06:39] ok, but would that overwrite my existing files? [06:39] or delete [06:39] it shouldn't overwrite your ~ home directory [06:39] okay [06:39] but [06:40] backups [06:40] 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] LambdaComplex: beat me to the punch :) [06:41] i tried that, but like i said some files are not accessible. [06:41] they simply dont get copied, and i can see a small lock icon on those files [06:41] even after accessing as root? `su -` ? [06:42] sorry, how do I do that? [06:42] why would you not have access to files in your home folder? [06:42] sounds like you have to fix some permissions [06:42] ^ [06:42] he's running from a live CD [06:42] oh. uid mismatch [06:42] cspack: yes, thank you [06:43] liveCD/etc/passwd != installed/ect/passwd [06:44] can you launch your file manager as root? [06:44] Fuogo: try Alt+F2,`gksudo nautilus` [06:44] to get at the files [06:44] hi all [06:45] ih [06:45] type that in the commandline [06:45] console: trying that [06:46] it works!!! [06:46] hey uh... be careful what you do with that window [06:46] you've got ultimate permissions. you can muck things up easily [06:47] I will copy the files and then do a fresh install of 14 LTS [06:47] ah [06:47] Fuogo: yes, do be careful. now copy over your `~/` (home) folder somewhere for safekeeping. verify its all there and accessible [06:47] then proceed to reinstall [06:47] then there's not much dangerous you can do if you're about to nuke everything anyway [06:48] rsync would be good for this [06:49] maybe we should get us a good and easy to use "hey save all my files before i reinstall" utility installed by default? [06:50] 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] you can try Grsync, a GUI frontend for rsync copy utility, as well (as mentioned in linked guide) [06:54] thank you consolejazz and others.

[08:05] TTTA: what is it you want to do? you said you wanted to boot into windows after deleting your linux partition, right? [08:06] TAFB: you can try to get your work done remotly by ssh perhaps? [08:07] lotuspsychje: I want to run Tixati on my VPS, as far as I know it's a desktop application [08:07] I came in wanting to replace my old Linux with a fresh install [08:07] 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] TTTA: ok that's different. [08:08] Yeah, it's been a strange night, sorry about the confusion [08:09] So I have a 70GB partition on one HDD that's completely unformatted [08:09] Last time I tried doing this, I ended up accidentally reformatting the entire HDD [08:10] someone on this IRC told me to run through the process again, but go through the 'try UBUNTU without installing it [08:10] TTTA: run the install tell it you want to customize your disk layout instead of use the full disk.

Upload an image to http://imgur.com/ and link the created page here. [08:13] alright, logging in from my computer, was on my cell phone before [08:14] the print screen button...didn't work quite right [08:14] http://imgur.com/sM3zFhl [08:17] Hi, I'm looking for a tool to monitor various sensors on my computer [08:17] lm-sensors is only giving me CPU temps [08:17] TTTA: did you start the installer? [08:17] yes [08:18] mrm1st3r: did you run 'sudo sensors-detect'? [08:18] I'm at the point where I can choose installation type. [08:18] yes, but that didn't detect really anything [08:19] I chose a drive, hit the "Change..." button, the "Edit partition" window popped up [08:19] TTTA_: What is the exact text of the options you're given? [08:20] "Erase disk and install UBUNTU" (clearly not the right option); "Something Else" [08:20] I selected "Something Else" [08:20] TTTA_: Wait. [08:21] k [08:21] TTTA_: Please open a terminal, run "sudo parted -l", and pastebin the output. [08:23] http://termbin.com/yns9 [08:24] thank you for your help, btw [08:28] !bootinfo | TTTA_ [08:28] 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. [08:32] http://termbin.com/rf0e [08:32] dammit, ignore that [08:33] 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. [08:34] <_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 [08:35] ok yumi isn't selecting me select the iso for ubuntu [08:35] nvm [08:35] can anyone help me get vnc working on my ubuntu vps without using a SSH tunnel? [08:35] I am so lost [08:36] 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] _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. [08:37] 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? === raj` is now known as raj [08:38] 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" [08:39] <_teo> the power_profile always has default inside [08:40] 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). [08:41] hola [08:41] i got issues with installing ubuntu on my new skylake machine [08:41] hi all [08:42] i have two computer with ubuntu 140.4 one server and another desktop [08:42] If i can get an answer before i reboot my pc [08:43] DeafMints|2, you should use 15.10 instead of .04 [08:43] from server i can connect to desktop of the desktop computer but from desktop i can not connect to the server computer [08:43] Yes i have that version downloaded ouroumov_ [08:43] I fiddles around and googled a bunch [08:43] Do i just get it onto a usb then load the usb ubuntu and install it as normal ouroumov_? [08:44] and I think I got it worked out [08:44] but thank you for spending time with me, Jordan_U [08:44] I'm not a dual boot expert DeafMints|2 [08:44] TTTA_: You're welcome. [08:45] can anyone help me with vnc? I can't go to bed tonight until I get it working :( [08:45] almost 4am here [08:45] 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] I've already got the space === athairus is now known as athairuzzz === sins-_w is now known as sins- [08:47] yeah, it's installing now, and I'm 95% sure I didn't just repartition an entire TB [08:47] like I did last time [08:52] Fuck me sideways, I'm still getting the grub error on startup [08:53] TTTA_: Please watch your language. [08:53] I'm sorry [08:53] TTTA_: What grub error are you getting exactly? [08:53] I just want to shoot a computer [08:53] Wait [08:54] Now I'm getting BOOTMGT is missing, press ctrl+alt+del to restart [08:54] *BOOTMGR [08:54] sup [08:55] TTTA: So one boot you got a grub error and another boot you got a bootmgr (Windows bootloader) error? [08:55] dude jordan ttta timed out [08:55] ok. I'm on ubuntu [08:55] Yeah, depending on which hard drive I'm boring from [08:55] thekiddo: No, TTTA_ timed out. [08:56] deafmints, did you see the windows option on startup? [08:56] TTTA: OK. Lets stick to booting from the drive that grub was installed to. [08:56] !bootinfo | TTTA [08:56] 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] ouroumov_: im on ubuntu now. Im working on the installation also my mouse is moving too fast! [08:56] TTTA is still me, TTTA_ was me through my computer, on cell phone now [08:57] Ok. I need to determine my partition now. [08:57] how do i tweak the mouse movement speed on herE? [08:58] deafmints, I don't think you can during the install procedure [08:58] There, tweaked it [08:58] Im on the try ubuntu thing [08:58] Oh [08:58] 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>_" [08:59] So what partitions do i need to do a sucessful ubuntu [08:59] I know i need a swap [09:00] 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? [09:02] 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. [09:03] 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]
