| Jordan_U | ramkam2013: None that I'm aware of. You'll need to *carefully* delete the existing partition table entry and create a new partition with exactly the same starting sector but a later ending sector, then you'll nees to use resize2fs to make the filesystem use this new space. | 00:00 |

| RoundDuckMann | Ben64: That it's empty. | 00:10 |
| k1l_ | some myths he heard from the guys not having a clue, i guess | 00:10 |
| Ben64 | not necessary at all | 00:10 |
| Ben64 | especially on a ssd, you don't want to make unnecessary writes | 00:11 |
| RoundDuckMann | Also, is 'dd: error writing ‘/dev/sda’: No space left on device' normal? Also, that was just to curiosity (I think) and OCD. :P | 00:11 |

| Robr3rd | So now that we're in 2016, what's the state of swap partitions in Linux? For both a desktop and laptop with 12GB RAM each (usually @ 90% usage under load) | 00:12 |

| RoundDuckMann | I did "sudo time dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M | 00:13 |
| RoundDuckMann | " | 00:13 |
| RoundDuckMann | But ok then... :P | 00:13 |
| bekks | Robr3rd: Depends on your request to being able to hibernate (suspend to RAM). | 00:13 |
| bekks | RoundDuckMann: Which is quite bad. | 00:13 |
| RoundDuckMann | bekks: What happened? | 00:13 |
| k1l_ | Robr3rd: want hibernation? | 00:14 |
| RoundDuckMann | besides zeroing out drive | 00:14 |
| bekks | RoundDuckMann: you are writing data in blocks of 512 bytes, causing a lot of unnecessary IO. | 00:14 |
| RoundDuckMann | *gulp* | 00:14 |
| RoundDuckMann | I'm an idiot | 00:14 |

| Robr3rd | bekks lets make this a 2-stage question. Stage 1 (easy): Desktop. Is there any value in swap with no hibernate requirement? I've noticed sometimes I can't even hit a virtual terminal to troubleshoot on a different machine without swap but my desktop WITH swap lets me is that a coincidence? | 00:16 |
| Bashing-om | Robr3rd: Swap is a dependency on how much ram is installed . | 00:17 |
| RippyDippy | hey guys. How do I open network manager from command line. | 00:18 |
| bekks | Robr3rd: With no hibernation requirement, you might not use swap at all. I strongly suggest not doing so without setting vm.swappiness to zero, and without configuring the OOM killer. | 00:18 |
| k1l_ | Robr3rd: if you want hibernation you need swap. if you know you will use al that ram for vms or video editign or such you want swap since you dont want the oomkiller to start. | 00:18 |
| bekks | Robr3rd: nmcli | 00:18 |
| jesper_ | Hey guys, I think I broke my Ubuntu MATE installation a bit | 00:18 |
| jesper_ | Anyone in the mood to help me out? haha | 00:18 |
| k1l_ | Robr3rd: if not, then you dont need a swap | 00:18 |
| bekks | k1l_: Actually you WANT the OOM killer to start, but behave differently from the default. | 00:18 |
| k1l_ | ok | 00:19 |
| Ben64 | jesper_: explain the issue fully | 00:19 |
| === Robr3rd is now known as Robr3rd-ghosting | ||
| bekks | The default for the OOM killer is: "in case of exceeded RAM allocation, start to randomly kill processes." - Instead, you actually ALWAYS want: "In case of exceeded RAM, kill the application which caused the exceed." | 00:20 |

| jesper_ | Ben64: I had some issues with games starting on the wrong monitor and well - I couldn't do anything when they where running so I thought I'd be clever and separate the monitors by that x-thing in the Nvidia panel and now I can't click anything, it's like the monitors are overlapping | 00:20 |
| Ben64 | bekks: how do i configure that | 00:20 |
| jesper_ | Ben64: I can't open the terminal either | 00:20 |
| Ben64 | jesper_: x-thing? | 00:21 |
| jesper_ | the x-monitor or whatever it's called | 00:21 |
| jesper_ | It said both my monitors where on x-level 0 or something like that | 00:21 |
| Robr3rd | bekks, k1l_: Okay, so that resolves the question for the desktop -- basically that it doesn't matter unless I need more RAM in general...in which case I should probably just buy more RAM outright, correct? | 00:21 |
| Ben64 | jesper_: easy mode - disconnect one monitor, reboot | 00:22 |
| jesper_ | Ben64: Haha, I think you might be on to something | 00:22 |
| Jordan_U | ramkam2013: LVM actually adds steps for this particular use, rather than reducing them. For LVM you need to make the partition larger, then make the volume group larger, then make the logical volume larger, and finally resize the filesystem: https://techmomblog.wordpress.com/tag/pvextend/ | 00:22 |
| Ben64 | Robr3rd: more ram is always good | 00:22 |
| Robr3rd | Ben64: and cheap | 00:22 |
| bekks | Ben64: Gimme a minute, gotta take a look for the toddler here. | 00:23 |
| Ben64 | yeah, ram prices have fell a lot lately | 00:23 |

| Robr3rd | So on a laptop...I'm not sure if I understand...how it's even working right now. | 00:23 |
| profall | I have on-board motherboard sound card Realtek ALC892 | 00:24 |
| profall | Do I need to install drivers for Ubuntu 14.04 or will it work fine out of the box? | 00:24 |
| jesper_ | Ben64: You where right on the money, sorry to bother you haha - I should've figured that one out myself | 00:24 |
| Ben64 | profall: most devices work out of the box | 00:24 |
| Ben64 | jesper_: no problem. you should be able to reconnect and open nvidia-settings and set stuff properly | 00:24 |
| Robr3rd | bekks, k1l_: I have 12GB of RAM and no swap, but I think It's hibernating or something not sure. If I shut the lid or hit the hardware "hibernate" keyboard combo then it...I guess hibernates... whenI open it I can resume. | 00:24 |
| Robr3rd | But there's no RAM. So...is this just a suspend mode that I'm misunderstanding? | 00:25 |
| profall | Ben64 it is quieter then usual | 00:25 |
| k1l_ | Robr3rd: that is standby | 00:25 |
| k1l_ | Robr3rd: that is "keep power on ram". hibernation is "i power donw ram so i need to copy that to swap" | 00:25 |
| Robr3rd | s/no RAM/no swap | 00:25 |
| Jordan_U | ramkam2013: That post doesn't cover the additional steps needed for LVM. | 00:25 |
| jesper_ | Ben64: I don't know how I would set things back properly though - I don't see the settings for my second monitor since it's not plugged in | 00:26 |
| Ben64 | jesper_: plug it back in :D | 00:26 |
| jesper_ | Ben64: Nevermind, I see the reset button now! | 00:26 |
| Robr3rd | Okay. So the only fundamental difference is that suspend will drain the battery (and resume quicker, but on an SSD I'd imagine that's negligible) | 00:26 |
| jesper_ | Ben64: Would you recommend me resetting it or plugging the monitor back in? | 00:26 |
| Ben64 | jesper_: should be able to plug it back in, then configure it | 00:27 |
| Robr3rd | k1l_: ^ (keep forgetting to prefix the message with usernames... It's been awhile since I've been on IRC, heheh | 00:27 |
| bekks | Ben64: Set "vm.panic_on_oom=0", "vm.swappiness=0", "oom_kill_allocating_task=1" in /etc/sysctl.conf | 00:28 |
| Ben64 | bekks: thanks, didn't know that was an option | 00:28 |
| bekks | Ben64: you can even configure the OOM to be disabled, but that might impose other serious issues. | 00:29 |

| bekks | mcphail: actually nothing. | 00:30 |
| virtuosoj | why is Unity the only DE with a native dock | 00:31 |
| mcphail | bekks: thanks for the oom_kill_allocating_task hint. I hadn't realised that could be a problem. I thought the memory-hogging process was killed by default | 00:31 |
| jesper_ | Ben64: It's not working as I'd hoped... If I reset it, it still shows everything doubled on my monitor | 00:31 |
| k1l_ | Robr3rd: its both calles suspend: suspend2disk (hibernation which needs swap) and suspend2ram (standby) | 00:31 |
| bekks | mcphail: thats what a user expects, but unfortunately isnt the default. :) | 00:32 |
| Ben64 | jesper_: well you have to set the positioning correctly in nvidia-settings | 00:32 |
| bekks | Ben64: just for the record: "vm.oom_kill_allocating_task=1". | 00:33 |

| === tim_hortons is now known as bbq | ||
| Jordan_U | bekks: mcphail: To be clear, in the situation I specified with oom_kill_allocating_task=1 dpkg will be killed, possibly breaking your system in the middle of a package update. With oom_kill_allocating_task=0, firefox would be killed (a mild inconvenience) and dpkg would continue running happily. | 00:45 |
| Robr3rd | k1l_: Ah, okay. So what about Question "1a" (which we'll just call 3 for sanity)? If my laptop has a process that starts hogging all of the RAM (generally Android Studio) I can't drop to a virtual terminal. Meanwhile, if my RAM gets hogged on the desktop I can still do so just fine? (Both would be plugged in to eliminate risk of CPU throttling, and the laptop has dual rear exhaust so heat throttling (monitoring temps) is also not causi | 00:45 |
| Robr3rd | Rather, it *will* hit a virtual terminal *eventually* but it takes minutes to do so. | 00:46 |
| Jordan_U | Robr3rd: Your message was cut off at "is also not causi". | 00:46 |

| Jordan_U | Robr3rd: I enable all sysrq functionality on all of my personal machines, and use alt+sysrq+f to manually trigger the OOM killer when a low RAM machine starts becomming unresponsive due to memory exhaustion. | 00:48 |
| Robr3rd | k1l_: When I check it (while Android Studio is still running and RAM is still maxed out) It only shows 70% CPU...which is way too high for a quad-core i7 IMO but still not alarming | 00:49 |
| Robr3rd | Of course, by the time I check it the CPU may have managed to spin some stuff down of course. | 00:49 |
| Robr3rd | Jordan_U: What about a high RAM machine? | 00:49 |
| Jordan_U | Robr3rd: I can't remember personally ever needing to use alt+sysrq+f with a machine that had more than 2 GiB of RAM. | 00:50 |
| Robr3rd | Jordan_U: Well, I suppose nowadays 12GB is somewhat of an "upper average" but still, that's a fair bit of RAM, methinks | 00:50 |
| h4tt3r | Hello I am on a RasPi2 with "Ubuntu MATE" installed. I installed PlayOnLinux, which installed "wine-development" which appears to be the bleeding edge release. However PlayOnLinux cannot find wine, and, the command "wine" does not exist only the command "wine-development" exists. I tried to symlink in /usr/bin/ (by running "sudo ln -s wine-development ./wine" inside said directory), but, that did not let PlayOnLinux find wine. | 00:51 |
| h4tt3r | How can I point it correctly? | 00:51 |
| tonyt | anyone happen to know how to fix an error "unable to load kernal module" while installing a gtx 960 nvidia driver? | 00:51 |
| Robr3rd | Jordan_U: And 2GB would make sense, but man...12? I just don't understand why this is even a problem. I can only imagine a memory leak in Android Studio not clearing out VMs between tests (which is entirely possible) | 00:52 |
| Jordan_U | bekks: Reading the backlog, I completely disagree with your characterization of the default OOM killer behaviour, and your characterization of the oom_kill_allocating_task=1 behavior and I things it's irresponsible to pass on such mischaracterizations to those seeking support. | 00:54 |
| Jordan_U | s/things/think/ | 00:54 |
| Jordan_U | Robr3rd: Have you been watching your RAM usage before such unresponsiveness to confirm that that's what's causing the problem? If so, have you looked at what processes are using the most RAM? | 00:56 |
| h4tt3r | Ah!!! I may have answer. Typing helped. I just googled : "playonlinux cannot find wine" | 00:56 |
| Robr3rd | Jordan_U: Yep. And I get to watch Android Studio climb and climb over time (directly correlating to frequent consecutive tests/re-tests which destroys & spins up a new Android VM). | 00:57 |
| Robr3rd | Jordan_U: If I close AS (from now on Android Studio because I'm lazy) periodically, then I can prevent the issue. | 00:57 |
| Bashing-om | tonyt: Is " linux-generic " installed ? | 00:58 |
| Robr3rd | The program can sit for hours and be fine, but heaven forbid I start to run tests. | 00:58 |
| Jordan_U | Robr3rd: Then you should figure out what is causing the leaks and get it fixed, or if you really just want to work around the problem run AS in a separate memory limited cgroup. | 00:59 |

| Jordan_U | Robr3rd: When you start getting unresponsiveness due to memory pressure it's because things that would normally be still in cache, like executable code loaded from disk, is pushed out of cache and so needs to be read from disk again. Want to start a new tty? Now PAM needs to be read from disk again, and bash, and your bashrc, and if using user mode setting then the mode setting code, etc, etc. On a normal | 01:06 |

| Robr3rd | Jordan_U: Ohhh, okay. Yeah that makes sense. So leaving all of this "memory issue" stuff behind us, what would you suggest for swap size? Is the suggestion still "your swap should be as large as your RAM (or what of it you use)?" | 01:08 |
| Bashing-om | cortexman: " Braille device support " is beyond my range of experience . | 01:08 |
| h4tt3r | Even just McGee's ALICE would be crazy nuts on RasPi. :-D | 01:09 |
| cortexman | Bashing-om: how about manually uninstalling nvidia drivers installed using their .run installer | 01:09 |
| Robr3rd | Jordan_U: My follow-up question being, "I know it's terrible to have swap on SSD, so would it be better to have it on SSD or to create a partition on the HDD that also lives in my laptop?" | 01:10 |
| Jordan_U | Robr3rd: Ironically, swap can actually help this situation by slowing things down. If you start running out of RAM and you have swap, then things get swapped out to disk and things that would normally be resident in memory (memory already allocated to a running process) suddently start needing to read from disk (swap), and so apps start to slow down. But swap can only fill up as fast as you can write to y | 01:11 |
| Jordan_U | our hard drive (orders of magnitude faster than you can exhaust RAM) and so you notice things getting slower and deal with it before your machine is completely unresponsive. Without swap, this whole process happens with super fast RAM and thus you can go from everything seeming great and respnsive to glacially slow before you can react to do anything about it. | 01:11 |
| Bashing-om | cortexman: sudo find / -name "NVIDIA-Linux-*" //// ./Nvidiawhatever.run --uninstall (must be cd'd to the directory/location) . | 01:11 |

| Robr3rd | Jordan_U: That's a great point -- I never thought about it that way! (also see follow-up question just before your bit of gospel there) | 01:14 |
| Jordan_U | Robr3rd: It's not terrible to have swap on an SSD. SSDs have much higher write cycle limits than people expect. | 01:15 |
| tonyt | bashing ok sec | 01:16 |
| tonyt | bashing http://pastebin.com/kZ3mn5Jv | 01:17 |
| Robr3rd | Jordan_U: Ah, okay. And this particular drive isn't off-brand or anything. It's one of the Samsungs that you always see around so it should be pretty reliable. So does the old adage still apply of "just match your swap to whatever your RAM is usually going to be for hibernate"? (also, what happens if (example) I have 10G of RAM used and 8G swap and I hit hibernate? | 01:18 |
| frostschutz | Robr3rd, ka-boom? | 01:18 |
| Jordan_U | Robr3rd: Since you have 15 GiB of RAM, you're probably not going to be using swap as a way to get better performance (having swap *can* increase performance on low RAM machines) so you're mostly using it for slowing down the process of running out of memory and for hibernation. So resuming from hibernation will be faster from an SSD, but if you don't have a lot of room to spare on the SSD you might as wel | 01:19 |
| Robr3rd | frostschutz: Heheh. I was thinking more along the lines of, "Excess gets killed" vs "Excess goes to suspend and slowly sips at your battery as if in suspend" | 01:19 |
| Jordan_U | l waste space on the HDD instead. | 01:19 |
| frostschutz | Robr3rd, at best, the hibernate will not happen | 01:20 |
| frostschutz | hibernate is awful anyhow, if it's not long-term, best to suspend to ram instead | 01:20 |
| Robr3rd | frostschutz: So the manager might say, "Eh...this stuff isn't going to fit...let's just suspend all of it"? | 01:20 |
| Bashing-om | tonyt: reading. | 01:20 |
| Jordan_U | Robr3rd: If you're using more virtual memory (RAM + Swap usage) than you have swap space when you try to hibernate then cache will be thrown out until your VM usage is smaller than available swap. If that can't be done, then hibernation will fail (and I don't know off hand how gracefully that is handled). | 01:21 |
| mattkim | hello everyone | 01:22 |
| Robr3rd | Jordan_U: Okay, thanks. I'd imagine most of the uncertainty will vary wildly by system/distro based on how the manager is configured anyway. | 01:22 |

| tonyt | k | 01:30 |
| TTTA_ | So I had a dual win10/UBUNTU machine, it was running great | 01:31 |
| squinty | minitrue, or use the following to block all pm's /ignore *!*@* PRIV | 01:31 |
| Robr3rd | Jordan_U: Thanks for your help and the time it took to offer such! Have a great day/night! | 01:31 |
| minitrue | squinty: thanks! | 01:31 |
| TTTA_ | One day I screwed something up with UBUNTU, couldn't get past the login, just decided to nuke UBUNTU | 01:32 |
| TTTA_ | I reformatted the partition UBUNTU was on | 01:32 |
| TTTA_ | I was helping me last night until I passed out | 01:33 |
| ERROR | hi | 01:33 |
| === ERROR is now known as Guest36492 | ||
| TTTA_ | *Jordan_U was helping me | 01:33 |
| Guest36492 | hi | 01:33 |
| Bashing-om | tonyt: I do not understand why the system polled through the display ports a dozen times, but I see no problem . You are only using the one monitor. right ? | 01:34 |
| zamN | hi, i messed up my boot partition cause i resized the partition and now grub wont show up when booting. I'm currently im in the ubuntu livecd..but not sure what to do :X -- should i try resintalling grub? Is there any way i can do a 'health check' of my ubuntu install? | 01:34 |
| === DANtheBE- is now known as DANtheBEASTman | ||
| tonyt | yes jsut on lcd | 01:34 |
| tonyt | *one | 01:34 |
| TTTA_ | zamN: I think I'm in the same boat as you | 01:35 |
| ubuntu-studio | hello? | 01:36 |
| tonyt | hi | 01:36 |
| zamN | maybe? I had a working ubuntu/mac osx dual partition setup working.. I needed to resize my ubuntu root partition, so i resized my mac partition to get free space. THen i used gparted to move partitions around until I could resize my root partition using the unallocated space. Now that I resized my root partition I no longer can boot into ubuntu (so it seems) | 01:36 |
| Bashing-om | tonyt: Display is good ? Where and when are you seeing that advisory ? | 01:36 |
| Jordan_U | !bootinfo | zamN | 01:36 |
| ubottu | zamN: 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. | 01:36 |
| tonyt | well when i installed the driver i booted up and just hit ctrl+alt+f1 to drop to just a terminal bashing | 01:37 |
| zamN | ugh the livecd doesnt have wifi drivers :( | 01:37 |
| RoundDuckMann | I'm back, and after trying to install, I froze at the part where it warns you about if there's any BIOS OSes. I used sudo sgdisk --zap-all /dev/sda to wipe SSD afterwords (though it looked like it still was wiped already...), is that enough? | 01:38 |
| Jordan_U | zamN: What happens when you try to boot Ubuntu? How are you trying to boot Ubuntu? | 01:38 |
| zamN | Jordan_U well, grub isnt showing up so I have to boot through mac osx's shitty boot menu | 01:38 |
| RoundDuckMann | Also, I admit to forgetting to make an EFI partition, but it still should've installed still | 01:39 |
| === coy is now known as Guest23581 | ||
| zamN | and when i do i get the infinite blinking cursor | 01:39 |
| TTTA | http://termbin.com/v7wj | 01:39 |
| Jordan_U | zamN: So you're holding option at boot? Something else? | 01:39 |
| zamN | Jordan_U yes im holding option | 01:40 |
| zamN | and im booting into 'windows' | 01:40 |
| Bashing-om | tonyt: Presently, I do not see that there is a problem . All I can say is reboot and see what things look like . | 01:40 |
| RoundDuckMann | help? | 01:40 |
| TTTA | Jordan_U: sorry I passed out when you were helping me last night | 01:40 |
| tonyt | everything looks fine so far bashing. just worried about downloading a game through steam and it not working cause the driver didnt install correctly | 01:41 |
| Jordan_U | zamN: Then you currently have Ubuntu configure to boot via BIOS, I would recommend configuring it to boot via EFI instead. | 01:41 |
| zamN | Jordan_U: are you sure? I had this completely working fine right before i resized my root partition | 01:41 |
| Bashing-om | tonyt: Log says the driver is installed .. and no complaints . | 01:41 |
| tonyt | thanks for the info bashing. guess ill jsut give it a shot and see what happens | 01:41 |
| zamN | grub was completely working right before this resize as well Jordan_U | 01:41 |
| tonyt | ok. good enough | 01:41 |
| tonyt | thanks | 01:42 |
| RoundDuckMann | help? | 01:42 |
| Bashing-om | tonyt: :) caution is a good thing . | 01:42 |
| tonyt | :) | 01:43 |
| jim | you guys have a judd-like bot? (can query package versions, maints, etc) | 01:43 |
| RoundDuckMann | I'm back, and after trying to install, I froze at the part where it warns you about if there's any BIOS OSes. I used sudo sgdisk --zap-all /dev/sda to wipe SSD afterwords (though it looked like it still was wiped already...), is that enough? | 01:43 |
| tonyt | thanks bashing for reading the log | 01:43 |
| Jordan_U | zamN: If you want to continue booting via BIOS that will probably work fine, and you probably just need to re-install grub. Sometimes computers firmware will initialize hardware differently when booting via CSM than when booting via UEFI, usually to the detriment of the OS loaded via CSM, but if you haven't noticed any problems then just re-installing grub-pc will get you back to where you were (assuming | 01:44 |
| Jordan_U | there isn't more gone wrong, it's hard to tell). | 01:44 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA: No problem. Honestly, I don't remember what we were working on :) | 01:44 |
| zamN | Jordan_U i got wifi! | 01:45 |
| zamN | gonna try that link you gave me | 01:45 |
| cortexman | i've got my nvidia issues largely fixed, but my second monitor isn't detected | 01:45 |
| TTTA | Jordan_U: just trying to get me back to accessing my computer at all. Kept getting different errors depending on which HDD/SSD I tried to load from | 01:45 |
| TTTA | I had a dual win10/Ubuntu machine and I nuked the Ubuntu partition the wrong way | 01:46 |
| Bashing-om | tonyt: np .. glad there is no problem . | 01:46 |
| jim | how do I find versions of rtorrent in ubuntu (I don't run it, trying to help someone) | 01:46 |
| Jordan_U | jim: What do you mean by "find versions". You can install rtorrent by installing the "rtorrent" package. | 01:47 |
| TTTA | I'm running UBUNTU currently from the liveCD (liveUSB, in this case), but I can't figure out how to run UBUNTU or WIN10 without the live USB | 01:47 |
| TTTA | when I try to boot from the SSD that's supposed to have WIN10 on it, I get a can't find device error, then a grub message | 01:47 |
| jim | Jordan_U, I don't run ubuntu, but trying to help someone who is. I wanted to find the version of rtorrent in latest stable ubuntu to start with | 01:48 |
| Dylan____ | Hey | 01:48 |
| Jordan_U | !info rtorrent | jim | 01:48 |
| ubottu | jim: rtorrent (source: rtorrent): ncurses BitTorrent client based on LibTorrent from rakshasa. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.9.2-1build1 (wily), package size 473 kB, installed size 1583 kB | 01:48 |
| jim | it would be nice if I could show him how to search for that stuff too | 01:48 |
| Dylan____ | Is there like some application that shows messages etc for android on ubuntu? | 01:48 |
| Dylan____ | Similar to the thing that kde has for android phones | 01:49 |
| cortexman | Bashing-om: any idea on getting second monitor working? | 01:49 |
| xangua | Dylan____: there's pushbullet | 01:49 |
| TTTA | the SSD that I just reinstalled UBUNTU on, when booted from, gets me to the UBUNTU login screen, but the I get a few different screens flashed, ending with just a blank monitor | 01:49 |
| jim | Jordan_U, does the rtorrent source package also contain LibTorrent? | 01:49 |
| Jordan_U | jim: It's a little odd that you want someone to use rtorrent that doesn't know how to search for packages. I would think that transmission-gtk, which comes with Ubuntu by default and is fully graphical, would be a better choice. | 01:49 |
| zamN | Jordan_U: My boot info is here: www.zamn.net/mybootinfo.txt | 01:49 |
| xangua | There's browser add-on and unofficial desktop client Dylan____ | 01:49 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA: Please run boot info scrip: https://github.com/arvidjaar/bootinfoscript and pastebin the RESULTS.txt that it produces. | 01:50 |
| TTTA | this is beyond my level of google-fu | 01:50 |
| Bashing-om | cortexman: That is something I am not qualified in . | 01:50 |
| TTTA | http://termbin.com/v7wj | 01:50 |
| jim | I think he's looking at either backporting or else statically linking with the lib | 01:50 |
| Dylan____ | Ok ill look knto | 01:51 |
| Dylan____ | It thanks | 01:51 |
| Jordan_U | jim: Again, this type of thing doesn't seem like the type of thing that would be done by someone who doesn't know how to use a pacakge manager. What is your/their end goal here? What is your/their level of experience with Ubuntu or GNU/Linux in general? | 01:51 |
| dogarrhea | BUGGGSSS | 01:51 |
| jim | and the part where you said "that you want to use ..." is not the right thing, he came to me/us with that | 01:52 |
| dogarrhea | why are gimp cropped images from windows environment shown as clipped images in ubuntu? | 01:52 |
| Bashing-om | jim: Searching the repository ' apt-cache search torrent ' from terminal .. find of interest then particulars ' apt-cache show rtorrent ' . | 01:52 |
| jim | I've run debian for about 2 decades or so | 01:52 |
| Jordan_U | dogarrhea: What do you mean by "shown as clipped images"? | 01:52 |
| jim | so I have a lottle experience :) | 01:52 |
| jim | him, I dunno yet | 01:53 |
| zamN | Jordan_U: i think my biggest problem here is this Grub2 (v1.99) is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks at sector | 01:53 |
| zamN | 441934840 of the same hard drive for core.img, but core.img can not be | 01:53 |
| zamN | found at this location | 01:53 |
| TTTA | Jordan_U: http://termbin.com/v7wj | 01:53 |
| dogarrhea | i have a picture of a dog. i autocrop image in gimp in windows. i export to png. i copy image to shared folder on windows. in guest ubuntu i open image from shared folder. the dog's legs are cut off | 01:55 |
| Jordan_U | jim: Well then you already know how to use apt-cache search, apt-get install, and apt-chache show. Whether you want to teach them to use those tools or Ubuntu Software Center depends on their level of experience and their goals. Frankly if you don't know what they're actually trying to accomplish, or their level of experience, then there's not much we can do to help you help them. Maybe just have them joi | 01:55 |
| Jordan_U | n the channel themselves, or come back to use when you know more about their situation. | 01:56 |
| muchachao | hi guys, which display manager will be provided by default on 16.04? | 01:57 |
| cortexman | who knows how to get my second monitor working? i'm using the nvidia & cuda drivers via the cuda .deb | 01:57 |
| cortexman | i manually installed the nvidia better drivers (via .run) - after system surgery, i only have one monitor working | 01:57 |
| Jordan_U | dogarrhea: Can you upload this png file somewhere for us to try opening it ourselves? (Assuming that the image is actually safe for work / appropriate). | 01:57 |
| Jordan_U | muchachao: #ubuntu+1 for 16.04 | 01:57 |
| jim | I think one of the problems is he's getting encouraged to build rtorrent from source and link to existing libs, and I'm not sure he should do that | 01:57 |
| zamN | Jordan_U: I have my root partition mounted via the livcd.. should i just try fixing my grub install? | 01:58 |
| jim | what is the latest stable ubuntu version? | 01:58 |
| zamN | it seems like my data is all here :P | 01:58 |
| zamN | jim 15.10 i believe | 01:58 |
| jim | ok | 01:58 |
| Jordan_U | jim: Again, get more information and then come back or have them come here. From what you've said so far it seems like they are very confused and are being given inappropriate advice, but it's hard to tell. | 01:58 |
| jim | seems that way to me too | 01:59 |
| dogarrhea | there's already a bug report on this apparently | 01:59 |
| django_ | hey all | 01:59 |
| django_ | how can i get rid of this: https://bpaste.net/show/59e233ea388b | 01:59 |
| NOTNICK | Greetings. | 01:59 |
| NOTNICK | How are all of you? | 01:59 |
| timmy2 | Howdy! | 01:59 |
| NOTNICK | Hi timmy2! | 02:00 |
| jim | if he does what he's being advised to do, he'll end up with something that only works under certain conditions and isn't very upgradable... ok, I'll find otu | 02:00 |
| NOTNICK | Is this a place where people can learn from others how to best install and utilize linux on their machines? | 02:00 |
| Jordan_U | zamN: It looks like your install is configured to boot via EFI already. When things were working, did you need to hold option to boot into Ubuntu? | 02:00 |
| NOTNICK | Or perhaps I should seek greener pastures? | 02:01 |
| zamN | no Jordan_U, i only had to do that before because grub was not showing up on boot | 02:01 |
| NOTNICK | Anyone? | 02:01 |
| zamN | NOTNICK: you might want ##linux | 02:01 |
| NOTNICK | I'll even through you a little mBTC for walking me through it. | 02:01 |
| Jordan_U | NOTNICK: This channel is for Ubuntu related support questions, not for any other linux distribution, but yes. | 02:01 |
| timmy2 | + | 02:01 |
| timmy2 | +1 | 02:01 |
| NOTNICK | Thanks zamN. | 02:01 |
| NOTNICK | I will stay here for now. But will check there as well. | 02:02 |
| Jordan_U | NOTNICK: Are you using Ubuntu? | 02:02 |
| Bashing-om | django_: ' cat -n /etc/apt/sources.list ' compare to ' tail -v -n +1 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* ' and remove the duplicate " http://repository.spotify.com/ " . | 02:02 |
| NOTNICK | I am attempting to. | 02:02 |
| NOTNICK | I am a complete babe in this world. | 02:02 |
| TTTA | Jordan_U: the last thing you had me do before I passed out last night was run something through grub that showed all my hard drives and partitions | 02:03 |
| NOTNICK | But from what I read ubuntu is the thing to use | 02:03 |
| NOTNICK | Magento the antinuts etc. | 02:03 |
| TTTA | what | 02:03 |
| Jordan_U | zamN: Follow this guide but stop after step 11 (so don't run grub-install yet) and tell me when you're there: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot | 02:04 |
| zamN | Jordan_U: I'm already chroot'd | 02:04 |
| NOTNICK | Why can't I post in ##ub zamN? | 02:04 |
| NOTNICK | Is there a noob trick? | 02:04 |
| zamN | i dont know what ##ub is NOTNICK | 02:05 |
| Jordan_U | zamN: Have you bind mounted /dev/, /proc/, and /sys/ within the chroot? | 02:05 |
| NOTNICK | The channel you suggest I tried for advice. | 02:05 |
| NOTNICK | ATTENTION ALL CHATTERS - | 02:05 |
| zamN | NOTNICK you probably need to register with nickserv | 02:05 |
| zamN | NOTNICK: /msg nickserv help | 02:05 |
| NOTNICK | I AM OFFERING A BITCOIN REWARD FOR WALKING ME THROUGH THE PROCESS OF LINUX LEARNING. | 02:05 |
| zamN | Jordan_U: no i ahve not | 02:06 |
| tinyalpha | how you all doing | 02:06 |
| NOTNICK | It will not be large, but if I like you it could be, and if you do a good job. | 02:06 |
| tinyalpha | linux is not that good of an operating system unless you lern how to use it | 02:06 |
| Jordan_U | NOTNICK: Please don't post such "announcements" or use all caps. | 02:06 |
| zamN | Jordan_U: I basically ran: sudo mount /dev/sda5 (where my root partition is) /mnt | 02:06 |
| zamN | and then chroot'd | 02:06 |
| zamN | should I restart and try again? | 02:06 |
| dodo3773 | NOTNICK: What specifically are you trying to learn (I have no interest in your bitcoins; but I will help you if I can)? | 02:06 |
| NOTNICK | I apologize. | 02:07 |
| Bashing-om | !manual | NOTNICK | 02:07 |

| zamN | well actually i dont think my /boot dir is a different partiion Jordan_U | 02:07 |
| NOTNICK | I appreciate your generorisity. | 02:07 |
| jim | NOTNICK, dude, that's seriously annoying... could you lay off the all-caps | 02:07 |
| NOTNICK | I want to learn the basics. | 02:07 |
| NOTNICK | How do... I'm not.. ? | 02:07 |
| NOTNICK | How do I change name? | 02:07 |
| jim | so, you probably want to start learning the shell | 02:07 |
| jim | /nick whatevernick | 02:08 |
| NOTNICK | :change name nameeyy | 02:08 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA: I need the contents of the RESULTS.txt, not the output printed to the screen. | 02:08 |
| NOTNICK | Ok. | 02:08 |
| zamN | Jordan_U: okay, i just mounted them all actually | 02:08 |
| TTTA | out, my bad | 02:08 |
| zamN | Jordan_U: now should I chroot? | 02:08 |
| Jordan_U | zamN: Pasteing the contents of /proc/mounts for me to see to confirm it looks correct first. | 02:08 |
| NOTNICK | How about now Jordan_U? | 02:09 |
| NOTNICK | I don''t get it. I followed jim's advice. | 02:09 |
| TTTA | http://pastebin.com/ZhVCeKhP | 02:09 |
| NOTNICK | Jordo | 02:10 |
| jim | NOTNICK, you seem excited... maybe a good thing would be to take a few breaths | 02:10 |
| NOTNICK | I am excited. | 02:10 |
| NOTNICK | Please don't pander to my excitement. | 02:11 |
| dogarrhea | ADHD | 02:11 |
| zamN | Jordan_U: www.zamn.net/mounts.txt here you go sir | 02:11 |
| jim | NOTNICK, and that's a good thing... and, this learning is going to take time | 02:11 |
| NOTNICK | ADHD is nothing but a brilliant way for big pharma to make a massive fortune. | 02:11 |
| NOTNICK | I understand, jimbo, I am I willing to take the time. | 02:11 |
| jim | that sounds like a commitment to learn, to me | 02:12 |
| NOTNICK | Do not allow my outter exuberance to belie my inner virtues. | 02:12 |
| NOTNICK | I thank you for your kind words. | 02:12 |
| jim | it's not always going to be easy | 02:13 |
| jim | are you running ubuntu now? | 02:13 |
| NOTNICK | No. | 02:14 |
| Jordan_U | zamN: sudo umount /dev/sda1 | 02:14 |
| zamN | Jordan_U: done | 02:14 |
| NOTNICK | I have thumbs, double double discs, got 3 machines. | 02:14 |
| jim | ok, are you running any linux? | 02:14 |
| NOTNICK | And a tool kit replete with all the kinds of goodies necessary to soldier, etc etc machines. | 02:14 |
| NOTNICK | No. | 02:14 |
| Jordan_U | zamN: sudo chroot /mnt/ | 02:14 |
| zamN | ok im chroot'd Jordan_U | 02:15 |
| NOTNICK | Closest I've done is a tiny bit of btc mining coding, and Wine. | 02:15 |
| Jordan_U | zamN: Now within the chroot "mount -a" | 02:15 |
| zamN | Jordan_U: alright that worked | 02:15 |
| NOTNICK | Ihave these beater some one threw away | 02:15 |
| NOTNICK | it's a presario 2002 but i cleaned it nicely and it actually runs really fast!' | 02:15 |
| Jordan_U | zamN: Please pastebin the output of "efibootmgr". | 02:16 |
| NOTNICK | I check out the diags and it's running consistently under 30%. | 02:16 |
| jim | ok, so you've already said you want to put the time in to learn linux (congratulations, that's a great first step), are you doing this for your own reasons? for a job? for school? | 02:16 |
| NOTNICK | Silly. | 02:16 |
| NOTNICK | All in the same. | 02:16 |
| NOTNICK | And Jim, you're my sensai. | 02:16 |
| NOTNICK | I sense it immediately. | 02:16 |
| NOTNICK | If you'll have me. *bows traditionally japanesely* | 02:17 |
| jim | well no :) but I'll help you get started | 02:17 |
| NOTNICK | Works for me! | 02:17 |
| * squinty thank goodness for ignore toggles | 02:17 | |
| zamN | Jordan_U: www.zamn.net/efibootmgr.txt | 02:18 |
| jim | see tho, I dunno if it should be the shell first, or some programs... howbout this: one thing you should have at least a vague idea of, is what files go where in your installation... but you don't have any installed? | 02:19 |
| Jordan_U | zamN: Interesting. I'm surprised that the Ubuntu entry there wasn't an option at boot when you held option. (It should have been labeled "Ubuntu", not "Windows"). | 02:19 |
| zamN | Jordan_U: yeah.. id idnt see an ubuntu surprisingly | 02:19 |
| NOTNICK | jim | 02:19 |
| NOTNICK | can we do this a much more efficient way | 02:19 |
| jim | yeah, that's not good. you should pick one of those machines and install a linux onto it... maybe ubuntu? | 02:20 |
| zamN | i read online that it would show up as Windows because we're tricking OSX into thinking its dual booting windows? Jordan_U | 02:20 |
| NOTNICK | join.me/kursweil9 | 02:20 |
| === coffeegmug is now known as coffeeguy | ||
| Jordan_U | zamN: That would be the case if we were configuring Ubuntu to boot via BIOS, but we aren't. | 02:20 |
| zamN | ah | 02:20 |
| zamN | i see why you were confused now :) | 02:20 |
| Jordan_U | zamN: Anyway, run "grub-install" (with no other arguments) and it should fix the problem, but then it would be nice to know what caused the boot order to change (from grub first to OSX first) in the first place, to hopefully prevent it from happening again. | 02:21 |
| zamN | Jordan_U: so reboot after that should fix things? | 02:22 |
| NOTNICK | jim | 02:22 |
| NOTNICK | if you dont mind | 02:22 |
| NOTNICK | let's not waste either of our time | 02:22 |
| jim | NOTNICK, I actually don't do private help sessions right now... like I say, you should figure out which linux you want to install (as long as you're here anyway, ubuntu should be a good possiblity | 02:22 |
| zamN | Jordan_U: As I said before, I resized my root partition, which means i moved the actual partition location | 02:22 |
| zamN | because i extended it | 02:22 |
| zamN | so my guess is grub just had no idea where this was | 02:23 |
| Jordan_U | zamN: That shouldn't have any effect on the order of EFI boot entries. | 02:23 |
| NOTNICK | ubuntu | 02:23 |
| NOTNICK | or devian | 02:23 |
| NOTNICK | i pick ubuntu | 02:23 |
| jim | NOTNICK, the nice folks here can help you with installing ubuntu if that's what you decide to do... it's a good choice for someone who's new, and it will grow with you | 02:23 |
| zamN | :P idk but that seems to have fixed it Jordan_U | 02:23 |
| NOTNICK | I will pay you for your time. | 02:23 |

| NOTNICK | Is this possible? | 02:26 |
| zamN | Jordan_U: gah.. not its asking for a password before it mounts /home i guess | 02:26 |

| zamN | ~_~ | 02:26 |
| NOTNICK | Jordan U if I am to get lip from you I expect to get it quick. | 02:26 |
| Jordan_U | zamN: That's odd, because according to the boot info script output you posted there is no OSX entry in your grub.cfg. Did you add an entry manually to your custom.cfg? | 02:26 |
| NOTNICK | If you aren't the man to help me, free, or paid, I will find the man for the job. | 02:27 |
| zamN | yeah i did Jordan_U | 02:27 |

| raleigh | can i make ctrl+left/right/backspace work with camel case? | 02:32 |
| Jordan_U | !minimal | jim | 02:33 |
| ubottu | jim: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 02:33 |

| Jordan_U | jim: If you're literally referring to PXE boot or similar then the kernel and initramfs on the Minimal CD are the same as you would use for PXE boot, and are also available for download as individual files. | 02:34 |
| jim | I haven't done anything with pxe in years | 02:34 |

| NOTNICK | What's the difference between a stick an cd? | 02:35 |
| NOTNICK | And why should I use one and not the other? | 02:35 |
| jim | if you don't have a cd burner | 02:35 |
| NOTNICK | Is there a dark format to this place? | 02:36 |
| TTTA | The LiveCD and LiveUSB will be functionally identical, to my knowledge. But it's hard to use a LiveCD when your computer doesn't have an optical drive | 02:36 |
| NOTNICK | My eyes will bleed. | 02:36 |
| Jordan_U | jim: The minimal CD can't install anything without an internet connection, and (as long as you pay careful attention while installing) can install any flavor of Ubuntu, or a custom selection of packages. | 02:36 |
| NOTNICK | Anyway to mod this white abomination? | 02:36 |
| LambdaComplex | it's 2016 so pretty much everything should be a hybrid iso | 02:36 |
| NOTNICK | I see, thank you TTTA. | 02:37 |
| NOTNICK | Can you reexplain that last part Jordan please? | 02:37 |
| Flannel | NOTNICK: The format is entirely within your client, so you'd have to check your client options to see if there's a dark theme for IRC. | 02:37 |

| Hulio | It runs so fast on regular non SSD | 02:39 |
| NOTNICK | But nice Flannel, bra. | 02:39 |
| NOTNICK | Basically my goal, Jim, TTTAA, Jordan_U is to be hackproof. | 02:39 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA: Please run boot info script from here: https://github.com/arvidjaar/bootinfoscript , not from sourceforge. Sourceforge's version is old and unmaintained (but has more complete instructions for downloading and running it). | 02:39 |
| zamN | Jordan_U: could you help out with one more thing? I am able to boot into ubuntu now.. but because my /home directory is encrypted Ubuntu booter keeps prompting for a password. I can't even interact with this GUI screen though. Do you happen to know how I can do this through console instead? I'm trying to use ecryptfs-mount-private but it seems like that isnt working | 02:39 |
| Flannel | NOTNICK: go look for "preferences" or "options" or whatnot in the menu, and then look inside there for theme or color or whatever. | 02:39 |
| NOTNICK | And now that I Have three machines I can pretty do whatever I want with, I want to fully delve into the bitcoin/linux/haxxor space. | 02:40 |
| NOTNICK | options ain't doin' it | 02:40 |
| NOTNICK | Though I appreciate your Flannel attempt. | 02:40 |
| Jordan_U | zamN: ecryptfs doesn't come into play until you log in. If you're having problems interacting with the login screen, that's not related to ecryptfs. | 02:41 |
| jim | NOTNICK, the only way to do that... turn your computer off | 02:41 |
| zamN | Jordan_U: well it seems ubuntu is in an infinite loading loop | 02:41 |
| NOTNICK | Was that a slight? | 02:41 |
| NOTNICK | Because a man of your age would find that funny, it is was. | 02:42 |

| NOTNICK | Also, I want to completely wipe the presario first. | 02:48 |
| NOTNICK | Best way to do that? | 02:48 |
| RoundDuckMann | ouroumov_: Ubuntu Gnome is the official Gnome version of Ubuntu, it has the same installer, and is a full offical flavor. | 02:48 |
| ouroumov_ | NOTNICK, you'll wipe disk at the partitioning step. | 02:49 |
| NOTNICK | ok can we atttack that first? | 02:49 |
| RoundDuckMann | Oh well I'll try it... | 02:49 |
| ouroumov_ | NOTNICK, also I recommend Lubuntu. I doubt anything else will run on a dinosaur | 02:49 |

| ouroumov_ | NOTNICK, first you gotta burn your .iso to your install media. It's either a USB thumb drive or a DVD. See the web documentation on how to do that. | 02:51 |

| TTTA | different versions of Linux, such as UBUNTU, LUBUNTU, Redhat, etc. are referred to as 'flavors' | 02:54 |
| NOTNICK | @TTTA @ouromov do you prefer stick or DVD and why | 02:54 |
| NOTNICK | I prefer mint choco chip. | 02:54 |
| NOTNICK | (magento) | 02:54 |
| zamN | Jordan_U: okay, scratch before. I can't even boot into ubuntu anymore :| | 02:54 |
| NOTNICK | That was a linux joke. LAUGH guys. | 02:55 |
| TTTA | stick because my computer doesn't have an optical drive. It really doesn't matter, it's just a convinience thing | 02:55 |
| NOTNICK | K I will use drive since I have so many of these dual sided dvd's. | 02:55 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA: No actually. In this context a "flavor" is short for "Ubuntu flavor" and refers specifically to a version of Ubuntu that still uses only the Ubuntu repositories and is thus supported. So Red Hat would definitly not be a "flavor". | 02:55 |
| NOTNICK | OH snap! | 02:56 |
| ouroumov_ | NOTNICK, if the machine is from 2002 I speak from experience when I say it might not support booting from USB anyway. | 02:56 |

| TTTA | I mean, I'm new enough to UBUNTU that I've bricked my computer so badly that the only OS I can run is UBUNTU off the liveUSB | 02:57 |
| NOTNICK | But you are all so to the point and so knowledgeable and quickly come to my aid. | 02:57 |
| NOTNICK | I don't want to learn from lollygaggers, I won't to learn from someone like Jordan who would dispel a flavor myth. | 02:57 |
| NOTNICK | How do you mean TTTA? | 02:58 |

| ouroumov_ | oaulakh, use "df" to locate the device for your USB stick, exemple on my machine it's /dev/sdc, then use the command "dd if=you.iso of=/dev/sdc ; sync" to burn the iso to the stick then flush your output buffer | 03:21 |
| zamN | thank you for that dax | 03:21 |

| ouroumov_ | oaulakh, check if the output of "du -hs /" is bigger than your usb | 03:26 |
| oaulakh | ok | 03:26 |
| oaulakh | ouroumov_, sorry but 5.4 gb but still less than 8gb thank god | 03:28 |
| ouroumov_ | oaulakh, it won't work anyway | 03:29 |
| ouroumov_ | I've just read this: | 03:30 |
| oaulakh | ouroumov_, ok so how i should approch to copy my os, i think best way is to install ubuntu on usb and then apply tar backup of my os to usb | 03:30 |
| ouroumov_ | dd is a universal command line program used for low level copying of data. It will copy the entire drive, even if the used data is only consuming 10% of the beginning of the drive. For example, dd'ing a 100GB drive, where all the data is at the beginning, and is only 10GB is being consumed, the resulting file will be 100GB in size. | 03:30 |
| Rache | why dont you make a persistent bootable usb, and then copy your home over there, and install stuff | 03:30 |
| squinty | no kernel upgrades with persistance.... regular install to a usb stick allows total upgrading | 03:31 |
| oaulakh | Rache, bcz my ubuntu is just setup right way to do my development work, i just want that where ever i go , i just have to put my usb in som pc and i can countinue my work, hahahaha like hitman ;) | 03:31 |
| Rache | thanks squinty | 03:32 |
| Rache | ok scratch that idea | 03:32 |
| oaulakh | Rache, do you know how i can install ubuntu from just iso without going into partition and all that? | 03:32 |
| oaulakh | Rache, bcz rest copying os and all that i know how i will do | 03:33 |
| squinty | you can do regular install to usb stick... 8 gig is small though for expansion purposes. if using on other computers, then doen't install any propritory video drivers | 03:34 |
| Rache | no I was thinking of using the dd utility to image your existing install to the usb, but im not sure how if you have muliple parts | 03:34 |
| oaulakh | Rache, but to install ubuntu i don't want to use other usb | 03:34 |
| oaulakh | anyone know how i can install ubuntu on usb from just it's iso? | 03:34 |
| Rache | seems i dont know | 03:34 |
| squinty | oaulakh, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot | 03:35 |
| x03 | Hello. I am currently on Ubuntu. How can I create a bootable Windows 10 USB drive? | 03:36 |
| LambdaComplex | x03: Does Windows even use hybrid isos? | 03:36 |
| x03 | Yes. | 03:36 |
| dax | !info winusb | 03:36 |
| ubottu | Package winusb does not exist in wily | 03:36 |
| oaulakh | squinty, thanks but i don't want to boot iso i know how to do it, but i want to install os please instead of making it just iso bootable | 03:37 |
| dax | !winusb | 03:37 |
| ubottu | WinUSB is a tool for preparing bootable Windows Instalation USBs. Please see http://en.congelli.eu/prog_info_winusb.html for instructions on installation and use. #ubuntu does *not* provide support for this tool, so please do not ask for help here if it doesn't work for you. | 03:37 |
| x03 | That's a 502. | 03:37 |
| x03 | Is it just me or the internet is falling apart? | 03:37 |
| TTTA | just the fun corners of it | 03:37 |
| squinty | oaulakh, reread the link I posted. you are confusing two subjects | 03:37 |
| x03 | Hah. Freshlight. | 03:38 |
| dax | x03: fun, the website for it fell over. oh well, that's the only thing we've found that works, and it isn't supported here anyway :\ | 03:38 |
| x03 | I'm just noticing that things that used to work automagically no longer do. | 03:38 |
| oaulakh | squinty, ohh my bad, thanks | 03:39 |
| squinty | oaulakh, yw | 03:39 |
| oaulakh | squinty, you solve my second usb issue ;) | 03:40 |
| squinty | x03, have you checked MS's site...seem to remember they have their own usb maker (iirc) | 03:40 |
| dax | it's for Windows | 03:40 |
| x03 | I don't suppose it runs on Ubuntu. | 03:40 |
| squinty | oaulakh, tried that method a couple of years ago and it worked well. | 03:40 |
| dax | and before someone recommends dd or usb-creator-tool, neither of those work with Microsoft ISOs | 03:40 |
| TTTA | anyone free to help me un-brick my computer? | 03:41 |
| x03 | What dax just said. | 03:41 |
| LambdaComplex | why the heck does dd not work though | 03:41 |
| LambdaComplex | what did ms screw up? | 03:41 |
| squinty | x03, not sure if it would run under wine (or other wine emulators) might be worth a shot | 03:41 |
| dax | LambdaComplex: dd only works with isohybrid images. Microsoft doesn't do isohybrid images (and neither did lots of other places until a few years ago) | 03:41 |
| LambdaComplex | TTTA: consider telling us what you did | 03:41 |
| x03 | I tried winusb. | 03:42 |
| TTTA | I had a stable win10/UBUNTU duel boot, until one day UBUNTU decided I'm not allowed to get past the login screen one day. So I nuked UBUNTU by reformatting its partition through windows disk manager | 03:42 |
| LambdaComplex | dax: And that's why the first thing I asked was if Windows uses hybrid isos :P | 03:42 |
| x03 | Let's see if this works. brb. | 03:42 |
| dax | LambdaComplex: mhm | 03:42 |
| TTTA | after restarting my computer, I was given a device not recognized error, then a grub prompt | 03:42 |
| dax | TTTA: boot from a Windows CD, repair your MBR. Removing Ubuntu in that way removed the bootloader files too. | 03:42 |
| LambdaComplex | >nuked ubuntu because the login screen stopped working | 03:42 |
| * LambdaComplex sighs | 03:43 | |
| TTTA | I've fumbled my way through a liveUSB twice, and am currently running UBUNTU off of that | 03:43 |
| * squinty wanders off to watch some tv with "she who must be obeyed" | 03:43 | |
| chuck3y | hi all | 03:43 |
| LambdaComplex | TTTA: either do what dax said or just....reinstall ubuntu i guess? | 03:43 |
| TTTA | I can get to a UBUNTU login screen now, but after I login it flashes a few screens quickly, then goes black | 03:43 |
| TTTA | I'm not entirely sure I have a Windows CD lying around | 03:44 |
| dax | TTTA: what's your end goal? dualbooting Windows/Ubuntu again, or removing Ubuntu and keeping Windows? | 03:45 |
| TTTA | someone asked me to pastebin the output from boot-repair a few minutes ago, but never responded | 03:45 |
| TTTA | dualbooting | 03:45 |
| dax | k, probably don't want to go with what i said then :\ | 03:45 |
| TTTA | I mean, I'm perfectly fine with completely nuking UBUNTU and reinstalling from scratch | 03:45 |
| TTTA | that's what I was trying to do when I bricked it | 03:46 |

| TTTA | yeah, did a fresh build recently for my brother, had to buy the OEM CD | 03:54 |
| EldonMcGuinness_ | I'm trying to wrap my head around ZFS's abilities and looking for a bit of guidance. Any one? | 03:54 |
| EldonMcGuinness_ | Why not use Win7 and get the update? | 03:54 |
| EldonMcGuinness_ | I would imagine a license for that would be cheaper | 03:55 |
| EldonMcGuinness_ | But I could be wrong, have not bought a windows license since 3.11 | 03:55 |
| dax | EldonMcGuinness_: #zfs and #zfsonlinux are probably both likely to be more useful, unless you have Ubuntu-specific questions | 03:55 |
| dax | not a whole lot of ZFS people on here as a rule | 03:55 |
| EldonMcGuinness_ | Thanks dax | 03:55 |
| TTTA | I'm like 95% sure WIN10 boots faster if you do a straight install, instead of an upgrade from Win7 | 03:55 |
| EldonMcGuinness_ | TTTA, yea, but the update method gets you a legit license and then you can just download the iso and install fresh | 03:57 |

| bipul | what is Kernel Source Tree? | 04:09 |
| [GH0ST] | Well, I don't know about them but I'm setting up a virtual Windows installation to download the installer that would make me a bootable Windows USB so I can install WIndows on my computer. | 04:09 |
| Gallomimia | yeah.... that's a good reason to swear :( but still against rules | 04:10 |
| [GH0ST] | It's the only way to install Windows if you don't have another Windows, since they want profit so you'd have to go to a sales rep who has Windows and could in the worst case produce a bootable media. | 04:10 |
| [GH0ST] | But ain't nobody got time for that so I'm virtualizing a Windows. | 04:11 |
| boriseto | Jordan_U, if you are talking about the power options in system settings, it only has the brightness option, which is the same when on battery or on charger. | 04:19 |

| Dr-007 | good morning, question; ive installed ubuntu besides windows by burning the iso from the website to a dvd. resized my partition manually and installed unbuntu, that all went well . then it had to restart, which i did. then it said my cd was still in my drive, so i got it out. then pressed enter, it explictely said to press enter. anyway, i thought it was not working because the message did not | 05:41 |
| Dr-007 | dissapear so i forced a reboot at that time | 05:41 |
| Dr-007 | now i cant boot into ubuntu | 05:42 |
| RoundDuckMan | the pressing enter moment was where it shown "invalid partition table" then booted | 05:42 |
| RoundDuckMan | Strange | 05:42 |
| Dr-007 | as in, the bootloader does not appear where i can choose from an os | 05:42 |
| mgor | RoundDuckMan, have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI#Creating_an_EFI_System_Partition. Make sure you also have set the bootable flag on the EFI partition. | 05:43 |
| RoundDuckMan | mgor do I have to use gparted? | 05:43 |
| mgor | RoundDuckMan, another suggestion would be to install using automatic partitioning, and if that works, install again but don't remove, change or format the EFI partition | 05:43 |
| RoundDuckMan | I'll try the first option then | 05:44 |
| mgor | Dr-007, boot a live cd/usb, and try `boot-repair' | 05:45 |

| AciD` | hi | 05:57 |
| Dr-007 | Jordan_U, yeah thats right, it only boots windows | 05:57 |
| Dr-007 | so i installed easybcd to add a boot entry | 05:57 |
| AciD` | would you see why a --force-all on dpkg does not seems to fix the installation problem there : http://paste.ubuntu.com/15240673/ | 05:58 |
| RoundDuckMan | Dr-007: 14.04? Strange happening there, considered systemdump's not in 14.04 | 05:58 |
| Dr-007 | what do you mean? | 05:58 |
| AciD` | (as I did not have enough free space on /, I created a symlink /var/cache/apt/archives to the /home/acid/tmp/archives folder | 05:58 |
| AciD` | does dpkg not like symlinks somehow? | 05:58 |
| plytro | damn son you have a lot of unused packages | 05:58 |
| plytro | apt-get autoremove would free up a bunch of space for you | 05:59 |
| AciD` | plytro -> I'm in the process to manually ugrade from 14.10 to 15.10, so it's a mess, temporarly | 05:59 |
| RoundDuckMan | systemd is a buggy pile of crap at times, and it isn't in there as much in 14.04 | 05:59 |
| plytro | AciD`: suck, I had 3 machines fail doing that upgrade | 05:59 |
| AciD` | usually, nothing a --force-all can't solve | 06:00 |
| plytro | actually not the case | 06:00 |
| AciD` | I was always able to fix debian/*ubuntu upgrades | 06:00 |
| AciD` | I do plan to fix this one | 06:00 |
| plytro | it broke because of some systemd/init conflict and the right package ended up being not installed | 06:00 |
| AciD` | somehow | 06:00 |
| plytro | it was recoverable | 06:00 |
| plytro | but annoyingly so | 06:00 |
| Jordan_U | AciD`: If by "manually upgrade" you mean that you aren't using update-manager or do-release-upgrade then I'm sorry but you're on your own. If you don't use those tools then things are *expected* to break. | 06:03 |
| sivik_ | anyone know why my nvidia-settings gui would not have all the needed settings when I installed a newer version of the drivers? | 06:09 |
| AciD` | Jordan_U -> those tools do more than just changing the source.list* files and update/dist-upgrade? | 06:09 |
| Jordan_U | AciD`: Indeed they do. | 06:09 |
| Jordan_U | !upgrade | AciD` | 06:09 |
| ubottu | AciD`: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 06:09 |
| AciD` | what do they do? | 06:09 |
| plytro | Jordan_U: really? | 06:09 |
| plytro | observation leads me to disagree with your statement | 06:10 |
| Jordan_U | plytro: Yes really, and manually changing your sources.lst hasn't been supported for many years. | 06:10 |
| AciD` | this guide is for people having a normal internet connection, mine is so slow I had to dl the package for days (really), so I won't do 14.10 -> 15.04, then 15.04 -> 15.10.. | 06:10 |
| AciD` | well, it always worked on debian and kubuntu for me, until now :) | 06:11 |
| AciD` | so, back to my question : do dpkg like symlinks? | 06:11 |
| Jordan_U | plytro: They especially handle odd cases like the transition to systemd... | 06:11 |
| plytro | I don't know man... I'm reading the python script and don't see much beyond what AciD` said | 06:11 |
| AciD` | I'm in a middle of an upgrade and everything is falling. It's like in the movie where the hero has to run to save its life at the end when the deed in done | 06:13 |
| AciD` | :) | 06:13 |
| AciD` | is there a way to make dpkg very verbose? | 06:13 |
| * plytro goes to read the source of DistUpgrade.DistUpgradeFetcherCore | 06:13 | |
| Rochvellon | AciD`: maybe it would be better for you using the LTS | 06:13 |
| Jordan_U | plytro: Are you also reading the source of the release upgrade tool that do-release-upgrade downloads and runs? | 06:14 |
| plytro | that would be what I just said | 06:14 |
| plytro | I assume you've read it | 06:14 |
| AciD` | yes it would Rochvellon, I don't know why I upgraded to 14.10 a few years back. Now I'm stuck and need to upgrade (for various reason), after trying yesterady to downgrade.. | 06:14 |
| Jordan_U | plytro: I haven't read any current version of it. Last I looked at it was years ago. | 06:15 |
| AciD` | I don't understand why dpkg says cannot access archive: No such file or directory, since the files exists (although, behind a symlink) | 06:15 |
| Jordan_U | AciD`: Downgrading is even less supported and more likely to break things than manually upgrading. I would recommend re-installing, which you can do preserving your /home/ directory (even if it's not on a separate partition). | 06:16 |
| geirha | That's a ppa-package | 06:16 |
| AciD` | Jordan_U -> that's my last option, since like I said I can't really download anything except if I take the entire week.. | 06:17 |
| geirha | It's best to disable the ppa's, and preferably uninstall the ppa-packages before upgrading | 06:17 |
| Jordan_U | AciD`: Do you have a local Linux Users Group? Someone might be willing to mail you an Ubuntu install CD. | 06:17 |
| AciD` | Jordan_U -> not sure, I could see tomorrow | 06:18 |
| AciD` | is there a way to list all the ppa 'links' you have installed, in order to 'reverse' the install with `add-apt-repository --remove <the ppa link>`? | 06:19 |
| geirha | look in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 06:19 |
| Jordan_U | AciD`: Another thing that do-release-upgrade does is disable all ppas before continuing on with the rest of the upgrade. | 06:20 |
| AciD` | yep, I should have though of that :) | 06:20 |
| geirha | Jordan_U: Right, but it doesn't purge the ppa | 06:20 |
| AciD` | answer to my previous question : http://askubuntu.com/questions/148932/how-can-i-get-a-list-of-all-repositories-and-ppas-from-the-command-line | 06:20 |
| Jordan_U | geirha: Indeed. A part of me wishes that it would, and another part understands why users would dislike that. | 06:21 |

| AciD` | note to self : use a 25GB / partition instead of 20 next time | 06:32 |
| geirha | just removing the ppa, won't remove/downgrade the packages though | 06:32 |
| AciD` | well, I guess the version would still be very ancient since the ppa were for 14.10 | 06:33 |
| AciD` | utopic! | 06:33 |
| plytro | sudo apt-get autoclean | 06:34 |
| AciD` | http://paste.ubuntu.com/15240865/ that line 9.. | 06:34 |
| geirha | Yeah, running out of space on / is not too uncommon. I just move various directories to new partitions. Like /var/cache/apt | 06:34 |
| AciD` | plytro -> I don't want to lose my week of dling those package though :x | 06:34 |
| AciD` | geirha -> I just did that, I moved /var/cache/apt/archives/ to my home, then symlinked it | 06:35 |
| AciD` | I'm now wondering if that's the cause of dpkg shocking on that install (where I used --force-all, which is usually the magical cmd to solve any pb ;p) | 06:35 |
| Jordan_U | AciD`: apt should have no issue with such a symlink, and dpkg even less so. | 06:36 |
| AciD` | *chocking | 06:36 |
| AciD` | hm | 06:36 |
| swift110-phone | Whos getting a ubuntu tablet? | 06:36 |
| Jordan_U | !ot | swift110-phone | 06:36 |
| ubottu | swift110-phone: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 06:36 |
| AciD` | last resort : where can I edit the dpkg database to remove by hand that libkgeomap-data 1.0~digikam4.2.0-0ubuntu1 pkg? :| | 06:37 |
| janmejay | hy my wifi is on but still it says disconnected? any idea how to fix it? | 06:37 |
| geirha | AciD`: What you want to do is remove/downgrade all the packages from the ppas. Either to install the official version, or remove it (because there is no official version of it) | 06:37 |
| geirha | That's what the ppa-purge command does | 06:37 |
| lotuspsychje | janmejay: ubuntu version and wifi chipset please? | 06:37 |
| janmejay | how to get it m newbie? lotuspsychje | 06:38 |
| janmejay | 14.04 | 06:38 |
| plytro | AciD`: are you on dialup outside the us? | 06:38 |
| lotuspsychje | janmejay: up to date to latest? | 06:38 |
| AciD` | plytro -> you could say that | 06:39 |
| AciD` | geirha -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/15240889/ | 06:39 |
| AciD` | :\ | 06:39 |
| lotuspsychje | janmejay: you can find chipset with: sudo lshw -C network | 06:39 |
| AciD` | having a 30KB/s internet connection is a pita, trust me.. | 06:39 |
| cherry_lin | sounds like edge | 06:40 |
| janmejay | lotuspsychje: the cmd you have given gives lot of info . | 06:40 |
| janmejay | which one is chipset | 06:40 |
| janmejay | ? | 06:40 |
| geirha | AciD`: So we'll have to manually go through each problematic package, and either downgrade it or remove | 06:41 |
| lotuspsychje | janmejay: ontop it will show you the brand, at bottom the driver= | 06:41 |
| lotuspsychje | janmejay: dont paste the whole text here, just tell me the brand and driver plz | 06:41 |
| AciD` | yep, that's what I'm doing, but for the first time I see a package that I cannot force-all install, which is weird | 06:41 |
| AciD` | (cf. my previous link) | 06:42 |
| janmejay | vendor broadcom corporation | 06:42 |
| geirha | AciD`: Well you don't want to install that package. | 06:42 |
| AciD` | well, it's what apt-get -f install want to do | 06:43 |
| geirha | which package is requiring it? apt-cache rdepends kde-l10n-engb | 06:43 |
| AciD` | but the pretty common error 'that file is also provided by package X and cannot by overwritten' prevent that install, and the fix is always --force-all | 06:43 |
| lotuspsychje | janmejay: ok, now can you see what lsb_release -a shows? | 06:44 |
| AciD` | geirha -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/15240917/ | 06:44 |
| wlw | kkkk | 06:44 |
| geirha | AciD`: then you first have to download correct version. Not the ppa one you are trying to force install | 06:44 |
| janmejay | lotuspsychje: its a cmd ? | 06:45 |
| lotuspsychje | janmejay: yes | 06:45 |
| janmejay | if yes then it gives no arguments are permitted | 06:45 |
| janmejay | error msg | 06:45 |
| lotuspsychje | janmejay: lsb_release -a | 06:45 |
| geirha | AciD`: So one of those packages are still from the ppa. My first guess would be language-pack-kde-en | 06:46 |
| geirha | *one or more | 06:46 |
| lotuspsychje | janmejay: did you type right? | 06:46 |
| janmejay | ubuntu 14.04 LTS | 06:46 |
| janmejay | codename trusty | 06:46 |
| janmejay | Also it says no LSB modular are available | 06:47 |
| lotuspsychje | janmejay: 14.04 or 14.04.4? | 06:47 |
| AciD` | geirha -> oh, somehow I forgot to comment the kubuntu-ppa and kubuntu-backports, updating/upgrading now | 06:47 |
| plytro | janmejay: have you turned on the third party drivers? | 06:47 |
| AciD` | let's hope that will fix that | 06:47 |
| janmejay | 14.04.4 LTS | 06:47 |

| plytro | all of my laptops require I enable propietary drivers to get the wifi to work | 06:47 |

| plytro | she couldn't even maintain 56k due to shitty lines | 06:53 |
| Jordan_U | AciD`: If you do decide to re-install, backup your /var/cache/apt/archives/ as it will contain archives of apps that you added post-install, that therefore would need to be otherwise grabbed again after installing fresh. | 06:54 |
| AciD` | :( | 06:54 |
| AciD` | Jordan_U -> thanks for the advice | 06:54 |
| plytro | AciD`: you could take your phone to starbucks and download the iso :) | 06:54 |

| janmejay | plytro yes | 06:57 |
| plytro | there were two questions there | 06:57 |
| plytro | the window still shows nothing? | 06:57 |
| janmejay | yes | 06:57 |
| AciD` | jha -> iirc, skype is 32 bits, so you have to install some i386 package and add an additional arch | 06:57 |
| janmejay | no additional drives available | 06:58 |
| plytro | janmejay: then I don't have much help for you | 06:58 |

| z8z | Hello.... I'm using ssh -X command to use iceweasel browser from a remote server of mine but it's incredibly slow | 07:16 |
| z8z | is that normal or there is something i'm missing that would have it to be much faster? | 07:17 |
| Jordan_U | z8z: ssh -X is pretty much always slow. Adding -C (for compression) might help, but X simply does a lot of round trips and isn't a very efficient networked protocol. | 07:18 |
| Jordan_U | z8z: FreeNX should do better (but can be hard to setup), and in fact VNC might even do better. | 07:19 |
| z8z | Jordan_U: i gave up on setting up VNC on my remote server since i couldn't render the window's frames in a proper way | 07:20 |
| Jordan_U | z8z: Is this a headless server? | 07:22 |

| formaggio | Booted up my friend's laptop this morning, and plymouth decided to just show up a purple screen with no onscreen logo, then switching to a black screen. Unity never comes up, login neither. He's on Ubuntu 15.10, and booting with 'nomodeset' works, even though the resolution is obviously skewed. He's running embedded Intel graphics; what could I try? | 07:35 |
| hateball | formaggio: If it is recently updated, try booting an older kernel | 07:37 |
| Jordan_U | formaggio: Does recover mode (without nomodeset) get the machine to a usable text tty? | 07:37 |
| baizon | formaggio: add noplymouth to your grub option | 07:37 |
| Dynetrekk1 | hi, python3-dev depends on libpython3-dev but it is not going to be installed (from apt-get). how do I debug and/or fix this? ubuntu 14.04 LTS | 07:37 |
| formaggio | hateball: Trying now. | 07:38 |
| baizon | Dynetrekk1: you got some ppas? there could be a conflict there, thats why it wont install | 07:38 |
| Dynetrekk1 | baizon: I've got one for gcc-5 IIRC | 07:38 |
| formaggio | Jordan_U: booting any kernel with single mode works fine | 07:38 |
| Dynetrekk1 | baizon: seems irrelevant at first glance? anyway I still don't understand how to fix it | 07:38 |
| formaggio | baizon: Will try if hateball suggestion doesn't work | 07:38 |
| baizon | Dynetrekk1: what is the error msg? | 07:38 |
| Dynetrekk1 | baizon: I'll gist it | 07:39 |
| Dynetrekk1 | https://gist.github.com/anonymous/c06fdd5c46659d7fe6e0 | 07:40 |
| Jordan_U | formaggio: What about selecting the option to continue booting from there? | 07:40 |
| formaggio | hateball: an older kernel did the magic! Thanks :) | 07:41 |
| Dynetrekk1 | baizon: python-dev can be installed | 07:41 |
| baizon | Dynetrekk1: like i said, youre using a ppa, thats why its not working | 07:41 |
| janmejay | i want o make a script which shows the status of all machine (on/off) runnig on same public ip | 07:41 |
| janmejay | any idea where to start | 07:42 |
| Dynetrekk1 | baizon: hm. where do I enable/disable PPAs? | 07:42 |
| baizon | Dynetrekk1: software-sources | 07:42 |
| Dynetrekk1 | baizon: what is that? | 07:42 |
| Jordan_U | formaggio: Staying with an older kernel permanently isn't a secure choice though, so we should try to figure out why the new kernel isn't working and fix it. | 07:42 |
| hateball | formaggio: I'd file a bug vs the broken kernel | 07:42 |
| Dynetrekk1 | /etc/apt/sources.list? | 07:42 |
| baizon | Dynetrekk1: youre using the “PPA for Ubuntu Toolchain Uploads (restricted)” | 07:42 |
| Dynetrekk1 | probably | 07:42 |
| Jordan_U | !ppa-purge | Dynetrekk1 | 07:42 |
| baizon | Dynetrekk1: youre using a DE? | 07:42 |
| ubottu | Dynetrekk1: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 07:42 |
| Dynetrekk1 | oh F, I've added this perforce PPA too | 07:42 |
| Dynetrekk1 | baizon: not if I can help it | 07:42 |
| formaggio | Jordan_U, hateball: I agree, how can I troubleshoot the new one? I don't think I should file a bug since the owner of the machine is not very experienced and might have caused trouble by himself. | 07:43 |
| Dynetrekk1 | problem is, I don't know what those PPA are named | 07:43 |
| Dynetrekk1 | baizon: I've got KDE installed btw | 07:43 |
| baizon | Dynetrekk1: ubuntu-toolchain-r | 07:44 |
| Jordan_U | Dynetrekk1: ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 07:44 |
| baizon | Dynetrekk1: then #kubuntu | 07:44 |
| Dynetrekk1 | baizon: sad to hear that my gcc-5 packages will go away though :/ I thought they were officially supported | 07:44 |
| formaggio | booting to single mode works fine actually, and systemd shows no errors during bootup in there. Booting with nomodeset shows no errors as well - the only broken configuration is the one that doesn't let me see the logs haha | 07:44 |
| Jordan_U | formaggio: journalctl should still have the logs; I doubt that this bug is something that's preventing writing to the filesystem (and thus preventing logging). | 07:45 |
| AciD` | well, the upgrade was going great, until it first froze my screen, then I could check what was going on via ssh, but now that ssh session in frozen also, and I cannot ssh again to the box :| | 07:46 |
| Dynetrekk1 | baizon: heh, the ppa-purge did nothing useful | 07:46 |
| baizon | Dynetrekk1: they are, but i cant tell what happens when u use a ppa | 07:46 |
| Jordan_U | AciD`: Was it slower than normal to log in via ssh? | 07:46 |
| Dynetrekk1 | baizon: I've got to use the ppa to get the packages? or have I misunderstood 100% | 07:47 |
| AciD` | hard reboot or not hard reboot, that is the question.. | 07:47 |
| AciD` | Jordan_U > not really | 07:47 |
| baizon | AciD`: :D | 07:47 |
| AciD` | I could do a `top` before it froze | 07:47 |
| baizon | you screwed 14.10 again? :D | 07:47 |
| AciD` | and apt-get was at a small 2% cpu | 07:47 |
| baizon | your* | 07:47 |
| AciD` | baizon > apparently :x | 07:48 |
| AciD` | I was in the process of upgrading to 15.10 | 07:48 |
| AciD` | now I just hope it had the time to upgrade grub | 07:48 |
| Jordan_U | AciD`: That's unfortunate, as slow ssh would have been consistent with an OOM situation, in which case you could just wait until your swap is exhausted and the OOM killer is triggered, at which point things should start responding again. | 07:48 |

| AciD` | Jordan_U > I has a swappiness set to 0, and no swap so.. | 07:48 |
| Jordan_U | AciD`: I still think it's worth waiting about 10 minutes to see if it responds again, even if it is a long shot. | 07:49 |
| AciD` | yeah, I'll do that | 07:49 |
| AciD` | on the other hand other apps got closed (and I did not closed those ones) | 07:49 |
| AciD` | like steam | 07:49 |
| AciD` | (I checked this one first in order to close it via ssh ;)) | 07:49 |
| z8z | Jordan_U: i installed it in order to use from remote and using the normal apt | 07:50 |
| Jordan_U | AciD`: If you've enabled sysrq magic (most useful sysrq options are disabled by default for security) then you can also shutdown somewhat cleanly that way. | 07:50 |
| formaggio | Jordan_U: didn't think of that, for the past boot it reports errors for Jetty (not installed), bluez and pulseaudio. I suppose they aren't important though, basing on my past experiences. | 07:50 |
| AciD` | yes, I plan to do the REISUB in a few minutes | 07:51 |
| formaggio | nothing relative to the graphics, anyway | 07:51 |
| Jordan_U | z8z: Ubuntu doesn't have iceweasel packages by default because it ships branded firefox. Are you sure you're not forgetting that your server is running Debian? | 07:51 |
| AciD` | iirc, I read somewhere that debian will ship firefox again, since mozilla changed something (can't remember what) | 07:52 |
| z8z | Jordan_U: omg you are right .... sorry | 07:53 |
| z8z | Jordan_U: but anyway i tried with ubuntu as well and had same problem | 07:53 |
| Jordan_U | z8z: Did adding -C improve performance enough for you? | 07:54 |
| AciD` | ok, I rebooted it, and could choose the 4.2 kernel, now it shows me the lightdm welcome screen, but neither the mouse not the keyboard are responding :/ | 08:03 |

| baizon | AciD`: youre just wasting your time, a reinstall will be faster | 08:05 |

| AciD` | not if you consider the download time ! | 08:05 |
| AciD` | (I'm on a very, very, VERY slow internet connection) | 08:05 |
| Dynetrekk1 | so I've removed all PPAs from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*, run apt-get autoclean and apt-get clean, sudo dpkg --configure -a, apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, but I keep getting the same error msg https://gist.github.com/anonymous/c06fdd5c46659d7fe6e0 | 08:06 |

| AciD` | *no | 08:07 |
| xangua | Dynetrekk1: that's not how one removes PPA's , that will not downgrade any package you installed | 08:08 |
| Dynetrekk1 | xangua: then how do I fix it? ppa-purge just spews error messages to me | 08:08 |
| Dynetrekk1 | about PPAs not existing | 08:08 |
| Jordan_U | Dynetrekk1: That's because you already deleted the entries from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ manually, which we never asked you to do. | 08:09 |
| Dynetrekk1 | Jordan_U: I've moved them, can move them back, I tried ppa-purge before | 08:09 |
| Dynetrekk1 | there, now I moved them back | 08:09 |
| Dynetrekk1 | apt-get install -f gives the same output | 08:09 |
| Jordan_U | Dynetrekk1: Move them back, pastebin the exact invocation of ppa-purge and it's complete output. | 08:09 |
| xangua | AciD`: can you run: sudo apt-get update && apt-get install ppa-purge ? | 08:10 |
| Dynetrekk1 | https://gist.github.com/anonymous/ed5c7d54e38554c00f95 | 08:11 |
| Dynetrekk1 | Jordan_U: not much | 08:11 |
| Dynetrekk1 | Jordan_U: what to do based on that? | 08:12 |
| Jordan_U | Dynetrekk1: Please pastebin the output of "ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/" and "cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*" . | 08:13 |

| AciD` | xangua > I don't have ppa-purge on this system yet, and right now I cannot access it (I just hard reset the computer and used the recovery mode in grub, but then it shows me the recovery menu, and my usb keyboard is not recognized once I leave the grub menu...) | 08:14 |
| AciD` | sounds like a reinstall is an option then :[ | 08:15 |
| jushur | AciD`: you should make a habit of saving update packages on a drive so you can use them as cache. as you are on slow connection. | 08:17 |

| Dynetrekk1 | baizon: yes | 08:18 |
| Jordan_U | baizon: Its contents are "# deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-toolchain-r/test/ubuntu trusty main", i.e. commented out. That doesn't mean that Dynetrekk1 might not still have packages from said ppa installed. | 08:19 |
| Dynetrekk1 | Jordan_U: is there a way of getting rid of those PPAs? | 08:19 |
| Dynetrekk1 | annoying to be adviced to install PPAs then "waah they break your system" :/ | 08:20 |
| Jordan_U | AciD`: No. 16.04 has only barely had its first beta and is going to have so many updates you'll be constantly downloading. | 08:20 |
| baizon | Dynetrekk1: youre wrong in this matter... from the ppa "Toolchain test builds" | 08:21 |
| baizon | Dynetrekk1: so test builds are for testing, not stable things. | 08:21 |
| Jordan_U | Dynetrekk1: If you think that you still have packages from any of those ppas installed (I haven't been following all of this, so I don't know if you do or not) then you can uncomment the ppa, then use ppa-purge (which will remove all of the packages from the ppa, then comment it out again). | 08:21 |
| AciD` | ok, only 25 hours to dl, yay \o/ ! http://i.imgur.com/6fcDkRR.png | 08:24 |
| Dynetrekk1 | Jordan_U: did that, output seemed sensible, the python3-dev package version seems to make sense, but I still can't install | 08:24 |
| AciD` | T_T | 08:24 |
| === mohammad_ is now known as linuxlove | ||
| baizon | AciD`: youre doing fine :) | 08:24 |
| AciD` | I hope that server supports the wget -c cmd.. | 08:24 |
| Jordan_U | AciD`: I'm sure it does, and if it doesn't then you can always use wget -c with a mirror that does support it. Even if you get a slightly corrupt iso you can use zsync to only re-download the corrupt portion, and ensure that you end up with a valid download. | 08:27 |
| Jordan_U | AciD`: I never trust the browser with large downloads, I pretty much always just start with wget. | 08:29 |
| AciD` | oh, I did not know about zsync | 08:29 |
| AciD` | cool | 08:29 |
| AciD` | yeah I usually do that too, but I got anxious to start the dl asap ;p | 08:29 |
| AciD` | in the mean time, I'll try to chroot to the box to see what's going on there | 08:30 |

| norc | Is there some adequate text editor for editing large text files (couple gigabytes large)? | 08:38 |
| Jordan_U | norc: The classics like vim and emacs will do that fine. If you want GUI based, I think that Gedit can as well but I haven't personally tried it. | 08:39 |
| TTTA | I thought I just freshly installed UBUNTU on an unused partition, but when I booted from that drive through BIOS, is game a bootMGR error and told me to press ctrl+alt+delete to reset | 08:39 |
| TTTA | now I'm trying to install again through "try UBUNTU without installing it", and it's detecting another installation of UBUNTU | 08:40 |
| norc | Jordan_U: vi is crashing while opening the file. | 08:40 |
| norc | And this is a remote server so I do not have X11. | 08:40 |

| norc | AciD`: I meant vim. ;-) | 08:41 |
| AciD` | tried nano, jed, emacs? :) | 08:41 |
| norc | AciD`: Just had an idea. This might actually be memory related, let me try opening the file on my local machine. | 08:42 |
| C0r3 | Guys, I need a little help. I have installed Ubuntu GNOME on my pc using bootable usb drive. I made the usb drive bootable using 'dd' command. Now when I plug my usb into the pc, I'm unable to create and delete files. How do I get my permissions back? | 08:44 |
| C0r3 | And how do I format my usb drive? | 08:44 |
| Ben64 | C0r3: you can format it using gparted | 08:45 |
| C0r3 | Ben64: Trying it out | 08:46 |
| C0r3 | Ben64: Is there any other way?? Because for that I'll have to install gparted. How about gdisk?? | 08:47 |

| jizzle | IM SORRY IF I CALLED ANYONE A FAGGOT:@ | 08:51 |
| jizzle | I DIDNT MEAN IT! | 08:52 |
| dax | move on. | 08:52 |
| jizzle | :D | 08:52 |
| jizzle | so whats everyone doing | 08:52 |
| Sakis | whats up mates ? :D | 08:52 |
| C0r3 | jizzle: Installing gparted! :P | 08:53 |
| jizzle | it comes with ubuntu tho | 08:53 |
| jizzle | C0r3, | 08:53 |
| dax | nope, it's just on the livecd | 08:53 |
| z8z | Jordan_U: It speeded up a bit but still very slow.... for now i'll deal with it | 08:53 |
| z8z | Jordan_U: Thank you very much for your help anyway | 08:54 |
| Jordan_U | z8z: You're welcome. | 08:54 |
| C0r3 | dax: Exactly! | 08:54 |
| C0r3 | By the way, my internet in Ubuntu is really slow!!! | 08:54 |
| ouroumov | C0r3, you mean your browser? | 08:55 |
| C0r3 | No, the internet connection. | 08:55 |
| ouroumov | Did you benchmark it? | 08:55 |
| C0r3 | I have a 60KBps link and when I'm trying to do a system update via terminal, it gives me 3kBps speed. | 08:56 |
| C0r3 | ouroumov: What is benchmarking? | 08:56 |
| ouroumov | C0r3, that maybe because the update server can't send you the data as fast as you can receive it. | 08:57 |
| C0r3 | Well, I heard that there was some bug with Debain and in some file we have to change a line, related to 'dns' or something... I just installed Ubuntu GNOME. I'll have to update that file | 08:57 |
| ouroumov | C0r3, in this instance it's running a test to check how fast your connection is; | 08:57 |
| ouroumov | I don't think so C0r3 | 08:58 |
| ouroumov | There was a snafu with a library in a function used for dns resolving recently but it's been fixed already. | 08:58 |
| ouroumov | You just gotta do the update as usual | 08:58 |
| jizzle | btw i cannot send to #vim, why is that? | 08:59 |
| ouroumov | jizzle, sometimes you need a registered nickname to be able to send a message | 09:00 |
| C0r3 | ouroumov: I'll give you the link. Hang on. | 09:00 |
| jizzle | oh:@ | 09:00 |
| dax | jizzle: because you're not identified to nickserv. see /msg nickserv help, and if you need help with that process message an active staffer (see /stats p) or /join #freenode | 09:00 |

| TTTA | I'm trying to get a fresh UBUNTU install, but I'm having some weird issues. I installed it once, everything seemed to have gone fine, but when I try to boot to that drive I get the "Bootmgr is missing Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart" error | 09:01 |
| TTTA | but windows isn't even on that physical drive | 09:02 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA: So you've re-installed Ubuntu since you were last in the channel? | 09:02 |
| TTTA | I've reinstalled Windows, reinstalled UBUNTU, added a fresh new drive | 09:02 |
| TTTA | spent over an hour of my life with microsoft tech support | 09:03 |
| ouroumov | C0r3, it doesn't look to harmful so why not | 09:03 |
| TTTA | I'll never get that hour back. She was so sure it was a mobo problem. | 09:03 |
| ouroumov | too * | 09:03 |
| C0r3 | TTTA: You installed windows first and then ubuntu? | 09:03 |
| TTTA | yes | 09:03 |
| TTTA | on seperate physical drives | 09:03 |
| C0r3 | ouroumov: Okay!! I'm trying those solutions. I expect at least one to work for me. | 09:03 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA: I generally recommend installing grub's boot sector to the MBR of every drive in a BIOS based system, so that it doesn't matter which you boot. Though that means that the Windows drives can then no longer be used without the Ubuntu drive plugged in. | 09:04 |
| TTTA | when you say plugged in, do you mean the liveUSB has to be physically plugged in? | 09:04 |
| TTTA | or just the data has to be there? | 09:04 |
| dax | by "ubuntu drive" he means the place you installed ubuntu to | 09:05 |
| dax | not the liveusb | 09:05 |
| TTTA | gotcha | 09:05 |
| === TakumoKatekari is now known as Takumo | ||
| TTTA | ok I don't know anything about grub's boot sector, the significance of it, what it does | 09:06 |

| TTTA | no, I'm on WIN10 finally | 09:07 |

| daya | lotuspsychje: yes fine, I am seeking just to simulate the poc in 12.04 without libc6 upgrade and after upgrade. | 09:31 |
| lotuspsychje | daya: why are you eager for pentesting this? | 09:31 |
| daya | lotuspsychje: My managers claim that we are not affected as we don't use that service. | 09:32 |
| daya | lotuspsychje: I myself can't simulate the poc | 09:32 |
| Jordan_U | daya: Boot from a 12.04 LiveCD/USB in a VM and test the code. | 09:33 |

| lotuspsychje | pavlushka: can you tell us why you suspect your webcam remotely token over? | 09:34 |
| daya | Jordan_U: The system doesn't acts as DNS server. | 09:35 |
| daya | Jordan_U: but it will serve other task and have nginx and other web and java services. | 09:35 |
| pavlushka | it got lighted on and a newtab in mozilla opened, a porn one. | 09:35 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA_: Try booting from sdc, the Samsung_SSD_840_Series . That should get you booted into Ubuntu (after which point we can make it so that booting from sda boots you into Ubuntu). | 09:35 |
| pavlushka | lotuspsychje: it got lighted on and a newtab in mozilla opened, a porn one. | 09:36 |
| Jordan_U | daya: It's not the server side that is vulnerable (at least not primarily, I haven't looked at that side), it's the client side. | 09:36 |
| Jordan_U | daya: If anything on your server ever does domain name resolution then it's vulnerable. | 09:37 |
| lotuspsychje | pavlushka: i dont think someone remotely take over your cam, rather might be some popup or webcam site that trys to enlight it | 09:37 |
| lotuspsychje | TTTA_: not related to your issue, but did you firmware upgrade your 840 evo? | 09:37 |
| TTTA_ | not that I'm aware of | 09:37 |
| pavlushka | lotuspsychje: okay, so should I let it happen??? | 09:38 |
| lotuspsychje | TTTA_: the 840 evo has a firmware performance bug, you need to apply from samsungs website before ubuntu install | 09:38 |
| lotuspsychje | pavlushka: purge firefox, clean youf firefox /home config, and reinstall clean | 09:38 |
| TTTA_ | weird. I thought I'd loaded it to the 250GB 850 | 09:39 |
| daya | Jordan_U: Have you simulated poc on 12.04 or 14.04 before and after upgrade. | 09:39 |
| TTTA_ | actually, I can just take that whole drive out | 09:39 |
| daya | Jordan_U: Do I need DNS server to simulate it? | 09:39 |
| lotuspsychje | TTTA_: the 850 series are good by default, its only 840 evo that needs the newest firmware patch | 09:40 |
| pavlushka | lotuspsychje: thanx... | 09:40 |
| pavlushka | Jordan_U: thankx... | 09:40 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA_: Ubuntu itself is installed to sdd, but grub's boot sector isn't (which is an oddity of Ubuntu's installer that should have been the better part of a decade ago IMHO). | 09:42 |
| lotuspsychje | daya: for penttesting purposes i would go for Jordan_U suggestion and run a not-upgraded 12.04 togheter with intrusion detector like snort or something | 09:42 |

| TTTA | I was going to try the 840 firmware update that was suggested real fast | 09:49 |
| daya | lotuspsychje: yes I agree, I have managed two machines 12.04 without libc6 upgrade. pointed the client to use servers ip as DNS resolver. | 09:49 |
| daya | lotuspsychje: but its not working as said. The server BTW is not DNS server. | 09:50 |
| Jordan_U | daya: Not being a DNS server is not mitigating the problem at all. | 09:50 |
| TTTA | Actually, that doesn't look like it's going to be fast, back to UBUNTU | 09:51 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA: sudo mount /dev/sdd7 /mnt/ | 09:51 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA: for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done | 09:52 |

| Jordan_U | daya: No, that's not at all what I mean. | 09:53 |
| TTTA_ | ok, loading into the 840 gave a device not recognized error | 09:53 |
| TTTA_ | what's the next thing to try? | 09:54 |
| lotuspsychje | daya: also a security risk when pentesting not-updates machines connected to the network, try to do your work in a VM | 09:54 |
| rayfun | Hi, I'm trying to install current image of 14.04.4 server edition to a desktop machine using a USB flash drive. And each time I try, it complains that the CD-ROM coudn't be mounted!!!?!?? I'm on an USB flash drive.. not a CD-ROM.. | 09:54 |
| lotuspsychje | rayfun: at wich part you getting this warning? | 09:54 |
| Jordan_U | daya: "There's a problem with salmanella in McDonalds burgers, you shouldn't eat them." "It's OK, I don't work at McDonalds, I only eat there, so I'm not vulnerable". (That's my analogy to your statement seeming to say "we don't serve DNS, and so we're not vulnerable" ). | 09:55 |
| daya | Jordan_U: :D | 09:56 |
| lotuspsychje | rayfun: you mean the pre-install text spitting out cdrom warnings? | 09:56 |
| rayfun | lotuspsychje, at the third step ("Detect and mount CD-ROM"), after "Choose Language" and "Configure the keyboard" | 09:56 |
| Jordan_U | rayfun: The error message could be better, but the problem is with mounting partition on the USB drive. | 09:56 |

| TTTA_ | ok | 10:02 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA_: Same for "Linux default command line:". | 10:02 |
| TTTA_ | ok | 10:02 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA_: Now please pastebin the prompt (including the list of possible installation devices). | 10:03 |
| TTTA_ | it just reads "Replacing config file /etc/default/grub with new version" | 10:03 |
| TTTA_ | " root@ubuntu:/# " | 10:03 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA_: It should have asked about install devices first. | 10:04 |
| TTTA_ | nope | 10:04 |
| TTTA_ | it went straight from linux default command line to placing config files | 10:05 |
| TTTA_ | with two empty lines in between | 10:05 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA_: Please pastebin the full output that dpkg-reconfigure gave, then pastebin the output of "debconf-show grub-pc". | 10:05 |

| madjoe | could you help me to report a bug - what package is responsible for login screen after you suspend vanilla Ubuntu 15.10 | 10:12 |
| madjoe | ? | 10:12 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA_: OK, try "sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy" even though you're not actually upgrading from grub legacy. | 10:13 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA_: Actually, nix the sudo, just "upgrade-from-grub-legacy". | 10:13 |
| TTTA_ | used the sudo | 10:14 |
| TTTA_ | got an interesting result | 10:14 |
| TTTA_ | http://pastebin.com/W9B0Vh8V | 10:14 |
| Fudge | was just thinking wonder if its a firewall problem | 10:15 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA_: Great. Hit Enter once. | 10:16 |
| madjoe | Ok, I believe it's unity-greeter | 10:16 |
| TTTA_ | ok, got a list of all the places I can install grub | 10:17 |
| TTTA_ | select all 6 of them? | 10:17 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA_: No. | 10:17 |
| TTTA_ | ok | 10:17 |
| TTTA_ | http://pastebin.com/8XcPXQrp | 10:18 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA_: You definitely don't want to select any partitions, and for your purposes it may be better to select just /dev/sdd (which contains Ubuntu). | 10:18 |
| TTTA_ | done. hit ok? | 10:18 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA_: You selected it with space bar, and it now has a '*' next to it? | 10:19 |
| TTTA_ | yup | 10:19 |
| TTTA_ | took a few tries to figure out how to select in, not going to lie | 10:19 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA_: Then yes, press Enter to continue. | 10:19 |
| TTTA_ | *select it | 10:19 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA_: It's awkward for everyone, that's why I had you use --frontend=text before. | 10:19 |
| TTTA_ | ok, grub legacy has been removed | 10:20 |
| TTTA_ | ok, cool, thanks | 10:20 |
| TTTA_ | so, what do we try now? | 10:20 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA_: I'm still confused as to why dpkg-reconfigure didn't work as I expected, but you should now have grub's boot sector installed to the MBR of sdd. run "exit" to exit the shell then reboot, specifically being sure to boot from sdd. | 10:21 |
| TTTA_ | ok | 10:21 |
| TTTA_ | specifically the 840? | 10:21 |
| TTTA_ | cause I've got 3 SDDs in there | 10:21 |
| TTTA_ | the other two are 850s | 10:21 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA_: By sdd, I mean /dev/sdd wwn-0x5002538da000b2f8 . | 10:22 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA_: Note that if that drive doesn't show up in your BIOS's list of drives you can boot from, then that explains multiple things and we'll need to take another route. | 10:23 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA_: (The drive that has your Ubuntu installation on it) | 10:23 |
| TTTA | It showed up. I booted from it. Got the no such device and grub rescue. I'm going to try the other two SSDs now. | 10:24 |
| TTTA | Yeah I think it's not the 840 | 10:24 |
| TTTA | Ok, got lots lines scrolling by, end trace | 10:24 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA_: I didn't say anything about SSDs, I said /dev/sdd. The "4th" drive (at least how linux counts them). | 10:25 |

| TTTA | Oh, I thought you specifically mentioned the 840 EVO earlier, maybe it was just the other guy | 10:25 |
| Jordan_U | TTTA_: I did, but that was earlier. This time I wanted you to boot from a different drive than I wanted you to boot from last time. | 10:26 |

| geirha | DiamondSword: yes | 12:01 |
| PerlinNoise | DiamondSword, I think you can. But it's better to do a fresh install. | 12:01 |
| geirha | It will likely ask you automatically if you want to upgrade once 16.04.1 is released | 12:02 |
| DiamondSword | geirha, is it bad not a fresh install but upgrade? | 12:03 |
| DiamondSword | because I don't want to loose my settings,docs etc. | 12:04 |
| geirha | DiamondSword: should be fine. There aren't that many changes between 15.10 and 16.06 | 12:04 |
| geirha | *16.04 | 12:05 |
| DiamondSword | so, you're sure that I can move from 15.10 to 16.04 ? | 12:05 |
| geirha | most definitely | 12:06 |
| milan | i installed compiz manager, but the effect didnt really work, how to fix it? | 12:06 |

| milan | i have ubuntu mate 15.4 | 12:06 |
| milan | 15.04* | 12:07 |
| DiamondSword | which one do you think is better, less laggy? 1- installing Linux as base os and using Windows 10 on Virtual Box 2- installing Windows 10 as base os and using Linux on Virtual Box | 12:09 |
| milan | DiamondSword: depends on your purpose | 12:10 |
| PerlinNoise | DiamondSword, which one are you going to use more? | 12:11 |
| milan | DiamondSword: in my opinion, since linux is much better than windows, i would do the first option | 12:11 |
| DiamondSword | I like Linux more but with Windows my machine works straight. | 12:13 |
| DiamondSword | most of the time I got volume, brightness, fn keys problems with Linux distros. | 12:13 |
| milan | DiamondSword: using windows is just not making your head itchy, but for better system understanding and freedom of choice, we can pick linux | 12:14 |
| PerlinNoise | DiamondSword, maybe upgrade kernel | 12:14 |
| DiamondSword | milan, I tried to fix just for controlling screen brightness with fn keys on Linux for more than 4-5 hours but I couldn't | 12:15 |
| DiamondSword | it's depressing :( | 12:15 |
| milan | DiamondSword: i think you can manage your own key bindings | 12:16 |
| milan | DiamondSword: for some reasons, for the one who wants to feel its greatness dont bother about that first, since you can do it manually | 12:17 |
| milan | DiamondSword: some Desktop Environment can fit your own disire, just go read about it first | 12:18 |

| cpaelzer | if it is a lot pipe to pastebinit and send a link | 14:01 |

| === boshaus_ is now known as boshaus | ||

| llwalahoop | Hello! I'd like to make a clean install, but I can't get to BIOS to boot from CD. How could I install the system? | 14:03 |
| C0r3 | Guys, can anyone guide me to format usb using gparted? | 14:03 |
| \9 | C0r3: select the usb drive from the list of devices | 14:04 |
| MonkeyDust | llwalahoop from any boot device, or just CD ... try USB | 14:04 |
| \9 | it should have one partition, right click on it and select to format it | 14:04 |
| \9 | then apply changes | 14:04 |
| \9 | make sure that you're formatting the partition you think you're formatting or you may format something else instead | 14:05 |
| \9 | which might not be desired | 14:05 |
| ouroumov | llwalahoop, you can't boot from BIOS or you can't get to the BIOS in order to boot? | 14:05 |
| llwalahoop | MonkeyDust: I can't get to BIOS at all | 14:05 |
| C0r3 | \9: I have two partitions in my usb drive. One is extended and within it I have a logical partition. When I plug it to pc I get two drives. I used this usb as a bootable to install Ubuntu GNOME | 14:06 |
| ouroumov | llwalahoop, what brand is your machine? | 14:06 |
| llwalahoop | Sry! | 14:06 |
| MonkeyDust | llwalahoop that's not for this channel, then, find a manual on how to do it | 14:06 |
| llwalahoop | ouroumov: It is HP655 | 14:06 |
| \9 | C0r3: so it ultimately still has only one "real" partition, right? | 14:07 |
| \9 | you could probably nuke the extended partition and create a logical one in its place | 14:07 |
| C0r3 | \9: Nuke as in?? | 14:08 |
| \9 | as in delete the partitions on the usb drive, and create a new one from the unallocated space | 14:08 |
| llwalahoop | MonkeyDust: Any idea what would be the appropriate channel? | 14:09 |
| C0r3 | \9: Okay. I deleted all partitions. | 14:09 |
| \9 | then create a new partition and format it with fat32 | 14:09 |
| ouroumov | llwalahoop, usually you gotta ram some keys on your keyboard like Esc, F2, F12 etc while you're booting to get to the BIOS. The specific key varies with the model of computer. Look to google to find out what the key / procedure is for that machine. | 14:09 |
| C0r3 | \9: I'm not getting the option for logical partition. | 14:10 |
| lotuspsychje | llwalahoop: or the ##hardware channel | 14:10 |
| \9 | C0r3: right click the unallocated space, there should be an option for a new partition | 14:10 |
| C0r3 | \9: I'm getting two options for 'Create as': Primary / Extended. | 14:11 |
| C0r3 | \9: I did that. | 14:11 |
| === charles_ is now known as Guest64337 | ||
| \9 | use primary | 14:11 |
| C0r3 | Okay | 14:11 |
| \9 | an extended is a partition that contains other partitions | 14:11 |
| \9 | but if you just want to format the drive with a single partition, there's no need for that | 14:12 |
| \9 | C0r3: and i cannot stress this enough: double check the actions you're about to perform before you perform them | 14:13 |
| C0r3 | \9: Yeah. I know about extended. Thanks it fixed my problem... :) But I don't have the permissions on my drive I guess | 14:13 |
| \9 | permissions? | 14:13 |
| C0r3 | \9: Everything is fine! Thank you!!!! | 14:14 |
| \9 | alright, no problem | 14:14 |

| NTQ | Hi. Is there a program that can keep track of all changes an other program makes to my system? For example a third party installer. I want to see what it does to my system directories. | 16:08 |
| popey | NTQ: rkhunter can, I think. | 16:09 |
| popey | NTQ: can take a 'snapshot' of the files on your system, and then you run it again and it tells you waht changed. | 16:09 |
| popey | NTQ: not sure it looks for every file though, so might not fit your exact circumstances | 16:10 |
| popey | NTQ: another option is to use "eatmydata" and run the installer through that, and see what it says it's going to do without it actually doing it | 16:10 |
| NTQ | popey: Thank you. I just thought about using chroot to trick the program into thinking it operates on the real root of my system. | 16:11 |
| ouroumov | NTQ, there's also a low-level linux function named ptrace(2) if you have the patience | 16:12 |
| ouroumov | NTQ, there's also the user command strace that will log every system call issued by a given program | 16:13 |
| popey | yeah, you could eatmydata and strace, to see what it's doing without doing it | 16:14 |
| popey | if you had an hour to burn :) | 16:14 |

| paulymorphous | Hello. I can't seem to delete old kernels from Synaptic. Is anyone able to help me with this? | 17:36 |
| NightStrike | how do I use do-release-upgrade to upgrade in place from 08.04LTS to 10.04LTS? | 17:37 |
| delt | Hello | 17:39 |
| delt | i'm having trouble connecting my cell phone's audio via bluetooth to the pc | 17:40 |
| delt | i get: Connection Failed: Stream setup failed | 17:40 |
| delt | i can transfer files via bluetooth fine | 17:40 |
| xangua | NightStrike: even upgrading from LTS to LTS, would be faster to just install a supported release | 17:40 |
| NightStrike | I don't have access to the computer | 17:41 |
| SchrodingersScat | then how were you going to run that command? | 17:41 |
| NightStrike | physical access | 17:42 |
| NightStrike | in any case, do-release-upgrade seems to not work | 17:42 |
| NightStrike | it tries to download 12.04 instead of 10.04 | 17:42 |
| LTNT | hello | 17:43 |
| SchrodingersScat | howdy | 17:43 |
| NightStrike | how do I tell do-release-upgrade to download 10.04? | 17:44 |
| LTNT | hi @SchrodingersScat | 17:44 |
| nacc | NightStrike: neither of those are supported anymore | 17:44 |
| LTNT | Can someone please tell me how can i create a webapp like codeacademy ? | 17:45 |
| delt | ... so anyone familiar with this bluetooth audio problem? | 17:45 |
| NightStrike | how do I tell do-release-upgrade to download 10.04? | 17:46 |
| nacc | NightStrike: i don't believe the tools will let you upgrade to things that are not supported ... why would you want to be on 10.04? | 17:47 |
| NightStrike | That's what this page says to do: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes#From_8.04_LTS_to_10.04_LTS | 17:48 |
| NightStrike | and, it's what that page says is supported | 17:48 |
| NightStrike | 8 > 10 > 12 | 17:48 |
| nacc | NightStrike: "Version: 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) (Will no longer be supported after May 9th 2013)" | 17:49 |
| NightStrike | I am aware that 10 is out of support | 17:49 |
| zykotick9 | NightStrike: if you are currently at 8.04 i'd _strongly_ suggest you backup your files and install fresh YMMV | 17:49 |
| NightStrike | I'm trying to upgrade 8 to 10 to 12. The do-release-upgrade won't download the changes for 10, however. | 17:49 |
| NightStrike | can you at least tell me what do-release-upgrade does so that I can do it manually? | 17:50 |
| nacc | NightStrike: I don't think there is a supported path for that, 8.04 has been EOL for years at this point. I believe the tooling will always try to go to the nearest LTS that is supported | 17:50 |
| NightStrike | or tell me where I can get the older lucid tarball that it would have downloaded? | 17:50 |
| ioria | ioria21972 | 17:51 |
| NightStrike | I found it. http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid-updates/main/dist-upgrader-all/current/lucid.tar.gz | 17:55 |
| finisherr | What are folks doing regarding the glibc vulnerability in 10.04 systems? | 17:56 |
| baizon | finisherr: 10.04 is EOL, so nothing i guess | 17:57 |
| xangua | finisherr: nothing | 17:57 |
| finisherr | FIgured. Ok | 17:57 |
| baizon | finisherr: i mean its EOL fir almost a year now, so i would recommend to upgrade | 17:58 |
| afrokarlsson | living silver is siamease polarbear blood | 17:58 |
| teward | finisherr: 10.04 is EOL, so it never got looked at or fixed. Upgrade to 12.04 or newer. | 17:58 |
| finisherr | This is what I suspected | 17:58 |
| finisherr | Just making sure | 17:58 |
| teward | finisherr: refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for a list of what releases are 'current' | 17:59 |
| teward | and refer to there regularly for EOL release dates/items. | 17:59 |

| user54541210 | delt: I dont have any problem when suspending or hibernating my laptop. The thing is that when I turn off my laptop, I loose all the positions of the windows of my programs.

| Callek | sooo I have an issue where my mouse cursor dissapears (the mouse pointer still works, I can still see hovered tooltips and selection-hover, etc -- clicks still work) | 18:50 |
| Callek | It seems to happen more often when I have a flash website open, sometimes even more so when I use fullscreen with flash | 18:50 |
| Callek | My only remedy I've found so far is reboot, but I'm open to a command-line fix | 18:50 |
| Callek | (or something to search for in syslog) | 18:50 |
| Callek | I'm on 15.10 | 18:50 |
| Callek | using Firefox as browser | 18:51 |
| * Callek awaits any ideas ;-) | 18:51 | |
| * Callek has already restarted since last instance, fwiw | 18:51 | |
| dracnoc | Callek: Are you using a compositor/opengl? I get the same issue unless I turn off desktop effects, then the mouse pointer behaves normally | 18:51 |
| ouroumov_ | LazyAngel, dunno but in the future you wanna run this type of commands in tmux or screen. | 18:52 |
| Callek | I think so, but not certain | 18:52 |
| ouroumov_ | Oh sorry LazyAngel: scroll snafu on my part | 18:53 |
| * Callek is relatively new to using linux as a desktop, used to primarily only use it as a remote server :-) | 18:53 | |
| LazyAngel | ouroumov_: no worries, I have noe added keepalive on my ssh session and nothing broke. a reboot and reinstall of the package worked | 18:54 |
| jackwebs | I think in the past I had to remove pulseaudio to get sound to work, is that still an option in 14.04? | 18:54 |
| jackwebs | I hope someone can help me with this, I'm totally lost :( | 18:55 |
| dracnoc | Callek: If you can, switch off your desktop compositor/effects and see if that helps. It might be a driver bug, I'm not certain but it's always been apparent when running the nVidia blob drivers. | 18:56 |
| Callek | dracnoc: I know for sure I don't have an nVidia card | 18:56 |
| Callek | it would be an intel integrated graphics | 18:56 |
| Callek | dracnoc: but further questions -- does disabling desktop compositor/effects re-instate the cursor, even after it has dissapeared? and is it possible to disable via command line (easily?) ;-) | 18:57 |
| * Callek would have been happy with a `service foo restart` if it didn't cause any active programs/desktop to close ;-) | 18:57 | |
| viju | How do I remove wine? | 18:58 |
| viju | Although I used, sudo apt-get remove wine, it's still tehre | 18:58 |
| viju | there* | 18:58 |
| delt | jackwebs: you can get jack and pulse to play nice together: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Digital_Music_Composition/Making_Sound#Making_Sound_On_Linux | 18:58 |
| jackwebs | delt, I've got no sound at all | 18:58 |
| dracnoc | Callek: Hmmm ... the only thing to do is try it. I'm not sure if it is even possible to switch of the compositor with a Unity desktop, but it's certainly possible in other environments such as XFCE and KDE | 18:58 |
| jackwebs | delt, what is jack? | 18:59 |
| jackwebs | I don't think I need it, I just need some sound | 18:59 |
| delt | jackwebs: what sound card? | 18:59 |
| Callek | dracnoc: yea, I have default-15.10 desktop, which iirc is unity | 18:59 |
| delt | jackwebs: also is pulseaudio running? what program(s) fail to output sound? | 18:59 |
| jackwebs | delt, how can I tell? | 18:59 |
| jackwebs | everything fails to output sound | 19:00 |
| jackwebs | clementine, at the moment | 19:00 |
| delt | ok, can you do: ps xau | grep pulseaudio | 19:00 |
| delt | in the output you should see a line like: user 2146 2.2 0.5 1149036 22200 ? SLl 13:48 0:15 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog | 19:00 |
| jackwebs | yah it's running | 19:00 |
| delt | ok, now if you play a youtube video in your browser you don't get sound? | 19:01 |
| dracnoc | Callek: I did find one reference to switching off desktop effects, but it comes with warnings. Read first and test at your own peril :) | 19:01 |
| jackwebs | idk I don't think I have flash installed delt | 19:01 |
| dracnoc | Callek: http://askubuntu.com/questions/689602/disable-all-visual-effects-in-ubuntu-15-10 | 19:01 |
| delt | or anything that uses pulse | 19:01 |
| jackwebs | I'll try youtube delt gimme a sec | 19:02 |
| jackwebs | yeah it's silent | 19:02 |
| delt | jackwebs: what about the output routing in the volume control (pavucontrol)? | 19:02 |
| jackwebs | delt, in the volume control it only shows dummy output | 19:02 |
| jackwebs | no other devices | 19:02 |
| jackwebs | i dunno what output routing is though | 19:03 |
| jackwebs | it says nothing aout that | 19:03 |
| delt | while the youtube video or whatever is playing, run pavucontrol, what do you see under "playback"? | 19:03 |
| jackwebs | chromium playback | 19:03 |
| jackwebs | it's moving, like there's sound | 19:03 |
| jackwebs | but I guess it's all just going to dummy output device | 19:03 |
| delt | ok, there should be a drop-down menu to select which output device | 19:03 |
| delt | does it show only dummy output? | 19:04 |
| jackwebs | yah, under output devices | 19:04 |
| jackwebs | yah only shows dummy | 19:04 |
| jackwebs | no wait, there's "hardware output devices" i can select, and if I do, it says there are none | 19:04 |
| delt | ok... in a terminal can you try "alsamixer" and see if it detects any sound cards? | 19:04 |
| jackwebs | "cannot open mixer, no such file or directory" | 19:05 |
| jackwebs | weird | 19:05 |
| delt | in alsamixer press F6 to select sound card, it will show you what alsa sees as available output device | 19:05 |
| jackwebs | alsamixer worked ( and sound worked) before upgrade to 14.04, from 12.04 | 19:05 |
| jackwebs | but I think I had pulseaudio removed | 19:05 |
| jackwebs | I think | 19:05 |
| delt | jackwebs: lspci | grep -i audio | 19:06 |
| jackwebs | delt, 00:08.0 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation MCP79 High Definition Audio (rev b1) | 19:06 |

| delt | jackwebs: try booting a live-cd from another distro and see if sound works | 19:11 |
| delt | jackwebs: say linux mint or so | 19:11 |
| jackwebs | delt, the only thing that is not NVidia is the Ethernet controller | 19:11 |
| jackwebs | and there's no CD drive on this machine | 19:11 |
| jackwebs | I'm not sure I have a spare usb either at the mo :\ | 19:12 |
| jackwebs | and I don't really want to have to install another distro if i can help it | 19:12 |
| jackwebs | this audio was working like a couple hours ago with 12.04 | 19:12 |
| delt | jackwebs: i'd test to see if the sound hardware works from a live-cd... no need to install, just boot the live-cd, and play some sound | 19:13 |
| dracnoc | jackwebs: just out of curiosity ... install SMPlayer. It allows you to play a video and send the audio to any recognized audio hardware via the menu. Pick a vid and see what audio channels work for you. It's helpful in finding what audio channels are actually working | 19:13 |
| jackwebs | ok dracnoc I'll try that | 19:13 |
| jackwebs | delt, liveCD not really an option any time soon | 19:13 |
| delt | jackwebs: live-usb then =) | 19:13 |
| delt | jackwebs: perhaps the same you used to install? | 19:13 |

| delt | check in /boot | 19:15 |

| jackwebs | maybe something went wrong during the update | 19:32 |
| alkisg | sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic | 19:33 |
| delt | ^ what alkisg said | 19:33 |
| jackwebs | ok | 19:33 |
| jackwebs | maybe there's other stuff didn't update properly too? | 19:33 |
| delt | jackwebs: just curious, do you have a dir named 3.2.0-99-generic in /lib/modules ? | 19:33 |
| delt | ls /lib/modules | grep 3.2.0 | 19:34 |
| alkisg | He said he does, so the package from 12.04 stayed installed | 19:34 |
| delt | ok | 19:34 |
| alkisg | 110mb in size | 19:34 |
| jackwebs | yeah | 19:34 |
| jackwebs | that's all correct what you just said | 19:34 |
| alkisg | jackwebs: (do the kernel installation), how did you upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04? | 19:35 |
| blndidiot | Hey- I did apt-get upgrade and one of the package updates is asking that I choose a character encoding format. I'm not sure which one to choose. How do I decide? Here's a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/VX9tRJm.png | 19:35 |
| alkisg | blndidiot: press enter in all questions, it will keep your current settings | 19:36 |
| AciD` | blndidiot > utf-8, always utf-8 | 19:36 |
| jackwebs | alkisg, kernel update is running, I did do-release-upgrade | 19:36 |
| delt | blink: UTF-8 | 19:36 |
| AciD` | or what alkisg said | 19:36 |
| delt | blndidiot: UTF-8 | 19:36 |
| alkisg | If you need to change it in the future, it's dpkg-reconfigure console-setup | 19:36 |
| blndidiot | alkisg: Well, right before this screen popped up.. I got some perl warnings about language being unset so I wasn't sure if this was related | 19:37 |
| blndidiot | I'll go with UTF-8 thanks | 19:37 |
| delt | alkisg: for bluetooth stuff, what do you recommend to use as an alternative to blueman? | 19:37 |
| alkisg | blndidiot: what's your locale/lang? | 19:37 |
| alkisg | delt, no idea, sorry :) | 19:37 |
| blndidiot | I always use en-us for everything | 19:37 |
| delt | ok thanks anyway | 19:37 |
| kermit_ | is flashrom in the repository of ubuntu? | 19:38 |

| jackwebs | trying to fix this | 19:46 |
| jackwebs | but it could be that something failed in the upgrade | 19:46 |
| alkisg | Is ubuntu-desktop installed now? dpkg -l ubuntu-desktop | 19:46 |

| delt | jackwebs: yeah if you can | 19:47 |
| jackwebs | alkisg, no it's not | 19:47 |
| alkisg | Install it, you're missing things | 19:47 |

| alkisg | When you uninstall pulseaudio, it removes ubutnu-desktop and a lot of other things | 19:47 |

| jackwebs | delt https://paste.ubuntu.com/15246459/ | 19:48 |
| alkisg | delt, I believe he should have sound access via pulse even if he's not in any group at all | 19:49 |
| jackwebs | OK installing lubuntu desktop | 19:49 |
| delt | jackwebs: you're not part of the 'audio' group | 19:49 |
| alkisg | delt, the audio group is for *direct* sound access | 19:49 |
| alkisg | Ie. not via pulse | 19:49 |
| alkisg | I don't think he's supposed to be in the audio group | 19:49 |
| delt | alkisg: ok... sorry my mistake | 19:49 |
| llutz | delt: there is no need for users to be in audio-group | 19:49 |
| delt | you need to be if you want to run jack or direct access to alsa devices afaik | 19:50 |
| alkisg | Sure, for direct access yeah, but not for normal audio in a lubuntu/pulseaudio session... | 19:50 |
| delt | but yeah everything uses pulse nowadays so =) | 19:50 |
| jackwebs | I've added myself to audio group anyway | 19:51 |
| jackwebs | cos why not | 19:51 |
| delt | jackwebs: it certainly can't hurt | 19:51 |
| alkisg | jackwebs: because you might break pulse access | 19:51 |
| delt | alkisg: really? | 19:51 |
| jackwebs | alkisg, I think I already did | 19:51 |
| jackwebs | lol | 19:51 |
| alkisg | Some devices need serialized access, cooperated | 19:51 |
| jackwebs | if I get it working, I'll try removing myself | 19:51 |
| delt | alkisg: i'm part of audio on both my mint systems and have no problems with audio | 19:51 |
| jackwebs | sooo reboot after lubuntu desktop is installed? | 19:52 |
| alkisg | I don't know if snd is one of them, at some point in the past one could use only pulse OR direct alsa, not both of them, now both of them can be used in parallel | 19:52 |
| delt | even running pulse as a jack client | 19:52 |
| alkisg | jackwebs, yup | 19:52 |
| jackwebs | k nearly done | 19:52 |
| jackwebs | I think | 19:52 |
| delt | alkisg: dunno, in those days i was still using my SB live, which supported multiple hardware channels =) | 19:52 |
| alkisg | hardware channels != software reentrancy | 19:53 |

| jackwebs | cheers alkisg, I can live with an error message, sound works | 19:56 |

| kermit_ | why does "diff backup.bin backup_copy.bin" not produce any output? | 20:01 |
| kermit_ | is that normal if the files are the same? | 20:01 |
| bekks | Because diff is for textual input only, not for binary files. | 20:01 |

| bekks | You need to use a binary diff tool for creating a diff of binary input. | 20:02 |
| wmp | bekks: how can i get details about cipher and other? | 20:02 |
| delt | kermit_: no output from diff means the files are identical | 20:02 |

| vooze | ed_1: try updating your bios? | 20:39 |
| Dr-008 | good evening. question; i installed ubuntu via a DVD but screwed up the grub2 install. i now cant boot from disk anymore either to try to reinstall | 20:40 |
| Dr-008 | and i cant boot into ubuntu either | 20:40 |
| Dr-008 | only to windows | 20:40 |
| Dr-008 | ive tried modifying my boot via easybcd i think its called | 20:40 |
| Dr-008 | but no success | 20:40 |
| bekks | Dr-008: So what did you do exactly? | 20:40 |
| Dr-008 | bekks, i installed ubuntu, then it had to reboot. then it rebooted. then it said i had to remove the disk and press enter | 20:50 |
| Dr-008 | i removed the disk and preseed enter. but i thought it wasnt working so i forced a reboot | 20:50 |
| Dr-008 | i think thats where i broke the grub2 insall or something | 20:50 |
| Dr-008 | anyway, im hoping theres a way to reinstall on the partitions i already made (and already successfully installed ubuntu too) | 20:51 |
| Dr-008 | or to just modify the windows bootloader to boot ubuntu | 20:51 |
| Dr-008 | or perhabs install grub2 via windows | 20:52 |
| bekks | Dr-008: So where did you install grub to? | 20:52 |
| Dr-008 | i figured i could install grub2 via cli on live-disk boot. but that disk doesnt boot anymore | 20:52 |
| Dr-008 | bekks, i told it to overwrite the windows boot | 20:53 |
| Dr-008 | which i found online i should do | 20:53 |
| bekks | Dr-008: Which device did you specify? | 20:53 |
| Dr-008 | but it seems like it didnt overwrite that at all | 20:53 |
| Dr-008 | bekks, i dont know anymore | 20:53 |
| Dr-008 | the windows boot loader | 20:53 |
| Dr-008 | or something like that | 20:53 |
| bekks | Dr-008: That "something" is important. | 20:54 |
| Dr-008 | you know, windows boot menu | 20:54 |
| Dr-008 | the same as grub | 20:54 |
| Dr-008 | only from windows | 20:54 |
| Dr-008 | online it said i should specify that to install ubuntu grub2 to that device block | 20:54 |
| Dr-008 | but the question is, how can i boot from my ubuntu disk again? | 20:55 |
| Dr-008 | when i press f12 and wait for the boot menu to popup i choose my dvd drive | 20:55 |
| Dr-008 | i hear it reading | 20:55 |
| Dr-008 | but then it just goes to my windows bootloader thingy where i can choose from the os's | 20:55 |

| VeN0m | if it's installed | 21:26 |
| kermit_ | VeN0m, it started 7653 and 7662 process but it's all in one program window | 21:27 |
| kermit_ | can i get new window for each document? | 21:27 |
| kermit_ | it's tabbed in gedit | 21:28 |
| VeN0m | I am not sure, let me check | 21:28 |
| VeN0m | check the solution here kermit_ http://askubuntu.com/questions/219046/configure-gedit-to-always-open-in-new-window | 21:29 |
| aminux | please how to install word office in xubuntu | 21:29 |
| VeN0m | kermit_, looks like you can set that option with gsettings set org.gnome.gedit.preferences.ui notebook-show-tabs-mode 'never' | 21:29 |
| k1l | i think gnome team thinks tabbing is the new way | 21:29 |
| VeN0m | would be nice if it would behave like firefox or chrome where you can drag the tab to a new window :X | 21:30 |
| uchua | yeah | 21:30 |
| VeN0m | anyone know of a notepad++ equivalent for linux that doesn't require compilation? (I'm lazy) | 21:31 |
| TTTA | http://m.imgur.com/Hyb17zs | 21:31 |
| TTTA | There's the error it's throwing on startup | 21:31 |
| k1l | TiCPU: did it work in the usb mode? | 21:32 |
| VeN0m | there have been a lot of complaints with the .30 kernel TTTA...will your machine boot using .27? | 21:32 |
| TTTA | How would I go about doing that? | 21:33 |
| kermit_ | VeN0m, thanks! that worked | 21:34 |
| k1l | press left shift while booting to get the grub screen. there choose the older kernel | 21:34 |
| VeN0m | they say to hold down shift while booting with GRUB | 21:34 |
| VeN0m | woot, what he said :D | 21:34 |
| EriC^^ | TTTA: you're trying to boot the live usb? | 21:34 |
| VeN0m | kermit_, sweet! Glad to hear it! | 21:34 |
| kermit_ | k1l, coming from a world of windows, it's not easy to get used to tabbed windows (no pun), especially not with text files | 21:34 |
| TTTA | EriC^^: nope, this should be a full install | 21:35 |
| kermit_ | i often use notepad in windows like a clipboard and that works with multiple program windows | 21:35 |
| EriC^^ | TTTA: do you have a live usb? | 21:35 |
| TTTA | Yes | 21:35 |
| EriC^^ | TTTA: it looks like it's failing to mount the root fs on the hdd | 21:35 |
| kermit_ | VeN0m, it would be very nice to be able to drag out the tab like in firefox! ;) | 21:35 |
| VeN0m | kermit_, that would make sense...we can't have any of that!! | 21:36 |
| EriC^^ | TTTA: ok, if the older kernel doesn't work, i guess try the live usb and fsck the filesystems | 21:36 |
| VeN0m | EriC^^, if linux is complaining that an NTFS file system wasn't unmounted cleanly, is there a way to force it to mount other than booting into winblowz and rebooting again? O.o | 21:39 |
| kermit_ | has anyone here used flashrom before? is it safe to use to reflash a gigabyte bios? | 21:39 |
| kermit_ | VeN0m, winblowz! lol! :D i think winblowz 10 might have screwed up my bios or sata controller | 21:40 |
| kermit_ | that's what brought me to linux here today, to try to fix the mess | 21:41 |
| VeN0m | I'm too much of a wimp...tried a modified bios for my HP to allow aftermarket wifi PCIe cards...had a weird bug to where if the battery ran down, it blackscreened...had to use a strange utility to flash a custom recovery bios image that was decrypted....was a royal PITA | 21:41 |
| === cerberus is now known as Guest48681 | ||
| k1l | VeN0m: you need to boot windows anyway. because you need to unset the fake fastboot option for that drive so it can be mounted by other OSs. | 21:41 |
| VeN0m | ahhhh | 21:42 |
| VeN0m | is that something they started doing in win10? | 21:42 |
| k1l | windows uses a hibernation for their ntfs partitions to speed up the boottime. but that does block it form beeing mounted by others | 21:43 |
| kermit_ | hey yeah, what's with that fastboot thing? hybrid something... | 21:43 |
| VeN0m | good to know :D:D that explains why win10 "boots faster" than its predecessors | 21:43 |
| VeN0m | ok, take care all | 21:43 |
| jackwebs | so I can't start something on a certain port, let's say 80 | 21:44 |
| kermit_ | i noticed only recently that my "uptime" in task manager was waay longer than what it's supposed to be after a reboot | 21:44 |
| jackwebs | it says something is using port 80 | 21:44 |
| jackwebs | but I can't find anything else using it | 21:44 |
| jackwebs | listening on it, I mean | 21:44 |
| k1l | jackwebs: you cant start 2 programs using one port | 21:44 |
| jackwebs | k1l, I know | 21:45 |
| jackwebs | I can't find anything else that's using it | 21:45 |
| EriC^^ | jackwebs: try sudo lsof -i :80 | 21:45 |
| jackwebs | EriC^^, nothing | 21:45 |
| kermit_ | ven000m, take care! good luck with winblows! ;) | 21:45 |
| kermit_ | ven000m, sorry | 21:45 |
| EriC^^ | jackwebs: netstat -tuln | grep 80 | 21:45 |
| kermit_ | ven0m was already offline | 21:46 |
| k1l | jackwebs: can you put a "ps ax" into paste.ubuntu.com and show the link here? | 21:47 |
| jackwebs | yeah one sec | 21:47 |
| jackwebs | EriC^^, netstat -tuln shows nothing either | 21:47 |
| jackwebs | I might just start it on another port and wait for reboot | 21:48 |
| k1l | jackwebs: what program do you want to start? and how are you starting it? | 21:48 |
| jackwebs | it's a python web app from a friend | 21:48 |
| jackwebs | hmm OK.. I change the port to 8082, it says that's in use aswell | 21:49 |
| jackwebs | so maybe there's a problem in the app | 21:49 |
| jackwebs | because it seems unlikely they're both in use when I can't see anything using them | 21:49 |
| jackwebs | ah nevermind I fixed it | 21:51 |
| EriC^^ | needed sudo eh | 21:52 |
| jackwebs | it's hard coded to listen to an IP address that I don't have on my machine | 21:52 |

| Rush2112 | Hi all, my Ubuntu laptop's headphone jack doesn't work at all. I don't think it's a hardware issue, since before I reinstalled Ubuntu AGES ago, only the headphone jack worked and the speakers didn't; now it's vice versa. Anyone know a fix to this? | 22:00 |
| MannyLNJ | Help please. I keep getting a messagew that 14.04 encountered an internal error everytime i boot the system | 22:00 |
| kermit_ | EriC^^, ubuquity is the installer? | 22:00 |
| EriC^^ | yeah | 22:00 |
| kermit_ | will this be a string in a log? | 22:01 |
| kermit_ | sorry, i'm noob at linux | 22:01 |
| EriC^^ | it might be in the filename | 22:01 |
| kermit_ | trying to fix bios related problem, have been working with this shit all day, i think windows 10 destroyed my bios and perhaps even sata controller | 22:01 |
| bekks | kermit_: I strongly doubt both. | 22:02 |
| EriC^^ | kermit_: try typing locate ubiquity in a terminal | 22:02 |
| neo__ | hi | 22:03 |
| kermit_ | bekks, because? | 22:04 |
| kermit_ | EriC^^, would the logs be in /usr/lib/ubiquity? | 22:04 |
| bekks | kermit_: because your OS doesnt break your BIOS. </offtopic> | 22:06 |
| EriC^^ | kermit_: maybe | 22:06 |
| EriC^^ | kermit_: check /var/log/installer | 22:06 |
| kermit_ | bekks, but OS can run utilities that can be destructive, even for the low level stuff like bios | 22:10 |
| bekks | kermit_: And none of those tools are shipped with an OS, by default. So lets continue with the ontopic part. | 22:12 |
| === phschwartz_ is now known as phschwartz | ||
| kermit_ | bekks: ok | 22:14 |
| kermit_ | bekks, where does ubuntu store logs from the first boot process before the installation guide appears? | 22:15 |
| kermit_ | i have noted the | 22:16 |

| bekks | kermit_: Nowhere, since that happens on the livecd. | 22:16 |
| kb__ | what is tracker-control on Gnome? and how does one get ride of it? | 22:16 |
| Amm0n | bekks, these tools are shipped with UEFI by default, including a networkstack to do this remote^ | 22:17 |
| bekks | Amm0n: With UEFI, not with the OS. | 22:18 |
| kermit_ | "blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 0" | 22:18 |

| k1l | cd/dvd error? | 22:19 |
| bekks | genii: sr0 is the first cd/dvd drive. | 22:19 |
| kermit_ | my bios seems to have problems booting from usb drives after i used windows 10 on one ssd drive | 22:20 |
| genii | bekks: Ah, read it as sd0 for some reason | 22:20 |
| kermit_ | since then i was unable to reinstall, or clean install windows 10 on any harddrive | 22:20 |
| kermit_ | but booting from DVD and installing on hdd worked | 22:20 |
| kermit_ | the only method that works with both windows and linux now | 22:21 |
| kermit_ | something with my bios then? | 22:21 |
| bekks | kermit_: So disable UEFI Secure Boot. | 22:21 |
| === button is now known as crayon | ||
| kermit_ | bekks: it's legacy BIOS | 22:21 |
| EriC^^ | kermit_: try disabling fastboot | 22:21 |
| kermit_ | EriC^^: i have cleaned the drive, the ssd, the hdd, the first, hdd, second hdd | 22:22 |
| kermit_ | using diskpart in windows pe | 22:22 |
| kermit_ | didn't help | 22:22 |
| bekks | kermit_: Windows PE will not help at all. | 22:22 |
| kermit_ | i flashed back from F9K BIOS to F7, then F8, nothing | 22:22 |
| kermit_ | bekks: in windows pe i can run tools like disk editor, and clean or even zero fill the disks | 22:23 |
| EriC^^ | kermit_: go to the bios, and disable fastboot if it's enabled | 22:23 |
| bekks | kermit_: Which is not helping to solve your issue. | 22:23 |
| kermit_ | EriC^^: sorry, i don't have that. it's old legacy BIOS | 22:24 |
| kermit_ | bekks: it did once help me get rid of a CHS disk address to LBA mismatch in AHCI mode | 22:25 |
| kermit_ | intel AHCI bios image was buggy | 22:25 |
| kermit_ | so it wrote wrong values at 13c offset | 22:25 |
| kermit_ | changing that to 0xfeffff made the pc boot | 22:26 |
| kermit_ | only way to do that is manually use a disk editor | 22:26 |
| kermit_ | well, not the only, but the only that does not require reformat and loosing data | 22:26 |
| MannyLNJ | Help please. I keep getting a messagew that 14.04 encountered an internal error everytime i boot the system | 22:27 |
| kermit_ | good disk editors are hard to get by these days, and the very best ones are made for windows... or dos even, not that it will help much with newer disks | 22:28 |
| EriC^^ | MannyLNJ: try details and see what it's about | 22:29 |
| MannyLNJ | EriC^^, It' a crash in upowered | 22:30 |
| TTTA | Fresh install, get a totally black screen after logging in | 22:32 |
| TTTA | Bad video card drivers? | 22:32 |
| kermit_ | bekks: have a look at this site for info on error type i described, http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php?topic=8585.0 | 22:33 |
| TTTA | I can get to the recovery console, but that's it | 22:34 |
| bekks | kermit_: Is that related to a specific ubuntu issue you are currently having? | 22:34 |
| bekks | !nomodeset | TTTA | 22:34 |
| ubottu | TTTA: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 22:34 |
| kermit_ | bekks: that's not my current problem, but i think it may be related, because i have had that problem too where the intel ahci hanging at boot unless the hex values are correct on disk | 22:36 |
| kermit_ | bekks: my current problem is that i can't seem to boot from USB flash drives using boot menu, but it works when booting from DVD disc | 22:37 |
| TTTA | Bekks: I'm a pretty new user, that post seems to assume a knowledge base greater than mine | 22:38 |
| TTTA | Basically, I have no idea what it's telling me to do | 22:38 |
| kermit_ | bekks: i can actually boot NTFS based, but not FAT based USB keys... i think. because i can boot windows 10 from USB flash drive, but can't install it. it give me this: "couldn't find boot disk on this bios-based computer" | 22:38 |
| kermit_ | bekks: if i boot Windows 10 from DVD i get past that and i can install it even, but then i ran into some "automatic repair" loop, it hangs during boot | 22:39 |
| bekks | kermit_: And what is your _ubuntu_ issue? | 22:40 |
| kermit_ | bekks: none so far! but! i did encounter the I/O error during boot from DVD. i would like to know more about it, maybe someone can help me pull out relevant logs? also, i am sitting here on 14.04.4 lts, and it installs fine, but not the ubuntu 15.10 for some reason, it gets stuck in a loop during installation with some "fatal error" showing up over and over | 22:45 |

| TTTA | after beating UBUNTU into submission over the past three days, I've finally gotten it installed and able to get past the login screen | 23:47 |
| Starcraftmazter | iu | 23:47 |
| squinty | bluesfreak72, default display manager for unity is lightdm. try sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm to set it as the default (will only work if it;s still installed) | 23:47 |

| Starcraftmazter | how can gnome be restarted in 14.04? | 23:47 |
| TTTA | but of course now it won't have anything to do with the second monitor | 23:47 |
| Starcraftmazter | tried gnome-shell --replace but it doesnt exist | 23:47 |
| k1l | Starcraftmazter: logout? | 23:48 |
| dio | what do you need to do exactly? you can atp-get purge it then reinstall it from terminal | 23:49 |
| bluesfreak72 | squinty: no dice. It takes me to the package configuration screen where I choose lightdm over gdm, but nothing. | 23:49 |
| dio | if you need gnome desktop though you also need to install ubuntu-gnome-desktop I would recommend just downloading the Ubuntu Gnome CD tho its all setup. | 23:51 |
| squinty | bluesfreak72, stilled installed? could try sudo apt-get install --reinstall lightdm | 23:51 |
| bekks | dio: installing ubuntu-gnome-desktop installs exactly the same packages as your cd. | 23:53 |
| dio | I know | 23:54 |
| dio | just less work if he doesn't know how | 23:54 |
| bluesfreak72 | squinty: If this helps, it's giving me an error: The system is running in low-graphics mode. Your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself. | 23:54 |
| bekks | dio: Even more work and an unneeded reinstallation. | 23:54 |
| dio | yeah if you have stuff installed. I just borked a 14.04 trying to roll my own GTK edgers. So maybe I'm a little in the I hate apt-get mode | 23:55 |
| dio | lol | 23:55 |
| bluesfreak72 | I know I could re-install to fix it, but I don't want to do that unless I have to. | 23:56 |
| dio | ok | 23:56 |
| dio | yeah for gnome I used the mentho of installing by purging then I installed using the ubuntu-gnome-desktop gnome-shell gnome I think that was all of them | 23:57 |
| dio | then you do the dpkg reconfigure | 23:57 |
| dio | select gdm | 23:58 |
| squinty | bluesfreak72, maybe try in tty sudo service lightdm restart | 23:58 |
| Bashing-om | bluesfreak72: Have you tried 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm' to set the default display manager . | 23:58 |
| squinty | yes he has | 23:58 |
| dio | other idea is to try nomodeset on the grub bootloader | 23:58 |
| dio | anyway like everyone said it was an easy switch | 23:59 |
