[00:00] <Senor> first time installing ubuntu as i'm trying to rid myself of the microsoft.
[00:01] <Senor> I've already looked in the ubuntu forums and sometimes I see 4 answers for one question. there's not really any clarity.
[00:01] <MiniFridge> okay, so, is it vital I get 14.04.4 or am I okay with 14.04 for a server?
[00:01] <MiniFridge> Also, until what date is 14.04 supported?
[00:01] <Senor> anyway, i keep getting the ACPI PCC probe failed error and it just sits there frozen.
[00:02] <ouroumov> 14.04.4 is a maintenance release MiniFridge, it's to reduce the size of the first post-install update
[00:02] <MiniFridge> oh. So, it's going to be downloaded anyway?
[00:02] <ouroumov> Yeah
[00:02] <MiniFridge> Alright, thank you.
[00:03] <Senor> any help is appreciated...
[00:04] <ouroumov> Senor, you actually installed to disk? Were things OK using the live usb?
[00:04] <daftykins> Senor: that's an informational message not indicative of a problem, it is not the reason you can't get further
[00:04] <Senor> im trying to install with the usb. i'm currently on the Ubuntu, install screen and waiting for guidance.
[00:05] <k1l_> Senor: so where do you need help with exactly?
[00:05] <Senor> ok, so, when i start install i get the error Acpi PCC probe failed.
[00:05] <Senor> and it locks up
[00:06] <k1l_> Senor: the installer as such is quite simple. you can look here at the basic howto: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/install-ubuntu-desktop    if you have an issue on any setp you can ask a specific question here
[00:06] <k1l_> Senor: that message should not be an issue. its more of an information
[00:07] <JamesT1995>  I need help, I have Opera as the default browser (Chrome doesnt support 32bit anymore), but some apps dont follow those settings...they keep opening Firefox instead. Im running Xfce 4.12
[00:07] <daftykins> that's a kernel boot message so it makes no sense you go from GUI install to a text display
[00:08] <Senor> ok. here, i'm going to push enter now and let it install ubuntu. i'll relay what happens....
[00:09] <Senor> wow! it's actually installing now. it seems like this software is hit or miss.
[00:13] <Senor> one minute the install wants to work and then the next minute it freezes. it's really frustrating. the nvidia gpu doesn't help my case.
[00:14] <Senor> currently installing though. wish me luck!
[00:14]  * k1l_ crosses fingers :)
[00:14] <Senor> when i get to the desktop, what are the first things i should do?
[00:17] <daftykins> Senor: no, peoples flash drives are hit or miss, in my experience of volunteering here
[00:17] <Senor> ok, installation complete, restarting now...
[00:17] <daftykins> and their laptops :D
[00:17] <Senor> and it froze at the purple screen
[00:17] <SahibPrime> I'm having this weird problem.
[00:17] <Senor> just a blank purple screen
[00:18] <SahibPrime> So, I have mounted an ext4 partition on /archive.
[00:18] <SahibPrime> I want to clear some files out of it, but when I keep deleting files, eventually, Thunar (XFCE file manager) crashes.
[00:18] <SahibPrime> I re-open it and try to delete the file and it says "Invalid cross-device link"
[00:18] <SahibPrime> Then, when I try to open programs, it can't open them.
[00:19] <SahibPrime> Sometimes it says "Input/output error", other times "Unable to fork process". The only solution I have found is to log out.
[00:22] <Senor> yup, error ACPI PCC probe failed.
[00:22] <daftykins> Senor: what is this system? you mentioned nvidia, so is it a hybrid graphics laptop with intel + nvidia? (nvidia optimus)
[00:23] <Senor> it's not a hybrid system. it's just a desktop pc with an nvidia gtx 970 gpu.
[00:24] <SahibPrime> Also, it "Input/output error / Could not fork process"s pretty much out of nowhere.
[00:24] <Bashing-om> Senor: PCC (Platform Communication Channel) is a recent ACPI 5.0 addition. The driver does not find a PCC communications mailbox and just exits with that error message. It is not something to worry about, most machines don't have an ACPI PCCT table and they don't use this mechanism.
[00:25] <Senor> i've heard that answer plenty of times, but why is it crashing and locking up?
[00:27] <R13ose> I have installed the mini ubuntu with a usb key and not the system will not startup.  What do I do?
[00:27] <R13ose> now*
[00:28] <bekks> R13ose: do you get any error messages?
[00:28] <R13ose> none that I can see
[00:28] <SahibPrime> R13ose: Does it even get into GRUB?
[00:28] <Bashing-om> R13ose: Minimal install ? then one boots to a terminal .
[00:28] <daftykins> Senor: guaranteed it's unrelated, it's graphics drivers imo.
[00:29] <R13ose> This one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[00:29] <Senor> i agree that's it's unrelated and it's graphics drivers.
[00:29] <SahibPrime> R13ose: Yup, that's minimal.
[00:29] <R13ose> I don't see GRUB.
[00:29] <Senor> nvidia and linux do not like one another...this sucks
[00:29] <SahibPrime> R13ose: How many systems does your computer have?
[00:30] <SahibPrime> Senor: Have you tried using a non-proprietary driver?
[00:30] <R13ose> I am trying to install this with the entire partition
[00:30] <SahibPrime> R13ose: So, the only system on the computer is Ubuntu>
[00:30] <saltuk> if you have live cd .. try to install bootrepair
[00:30] <Senor> sahi, i can't even install ubuntu. how can i even install a proprietary driver?
[00:30] <bekks> R13ose: when the installation asked you for the device to install grub onto - what was your answer?
[00:31] <R13ose> bekks: yes
[00:31] <SahibPrime> Senor: Oh, I didn't see your previous requests, sorry.
[00:31] <R13ose> SahibPrime: yes
[00:31] <SahibPrime> R13ose: In that case, GRUB doesn't show up by default.
[00:31] <bekks> R13ose: "yes" is not a valid device.
[00:31] <bekks> R13ose: What was your answer?
[00:31] <SahibPrime> R13ose: Have you tried holding SHIFT on startup?
[00:31] <R13ose> bekks: I don't remember that.
[00:32] <R13ose> SahibPrime: I am in GRUB now by doing that
[00:32] <SahibPrime> R13ose: Exactly. Now, what do you see?
[00:32] <SahibPrime> As in, what options appear?
[00:33] <R13ose> SahibPrime: *Ubuntu and under that Advanced options for Ubuntu
[00:33] <Bashing-om> R13ose: Maybe this will help : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall ; http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal .
[00:33] <SahibPrime> R13ose: Go to Advanced options for Ubuntu, and hit ENTER.
[00:33] <SahibPrime> Now what do you see?
[00:33] <bekks> Senor: You could install Ubuntu using a textinstaller.
[00:34] <R13ose> SahibPrime: I see *Ubuntu, with Linux 4.2.0-30-generic and below that Ubuntu, with Linux 4.2.0-30-generic (recovery mode)
[00:34] <Senor> bekks, how do i do that?
[00:34] <SahibPrime> R13ose: Click the recovery mode one.
[00:34] <bekks> Senor: you could install using the server iso, e.g.
[00:35] <R13ose> SahibPrime: now into Recovery Menu
[00:35] <SahibPrime> R13ose: What exactly does it say?
[00:36] <R13ose> SahibPrime: Recovery Menu (filesystem state: read-only) below that resume, clean, dpkg, fsck, grub, network, root, system-summary.  They all have descriptions if you want to know them.
[00:36] <SahibPrime> R13ose: Click fsck.
[00:37] <SahibPrime> It'll check for a corrupted filesystem.
[00:37] <yeats> Senor: I actually think Ubuntu is installed fine - you're probably dealing with graphics card problems - have you tried booting into recovery mode?
[00:37] <R13ose> SahibPrime: Continuing will remount your / filesystem in read/write mode and mount any other filesystem defined in /etc/fstab.  Do you wish to continue? <Yes> <No>
[00:37] <k1l_> Senor: where does it exactly stop now when trying to boot?
[00:37] <Senor> yeats: i tried recovery mod and now it just says a bunch of stuff on the screen. the last message is "Switched to clocksource tsc"
[00:38] <Senor> mode*
[00:38] <SahibPrime> R13ose: Pick Yes.
[00:38] <yeats> Senor: try Alt-F2
[00:38] <Senor> yeats: nothing
[00:38] <R13ose> SahibPrime: done
[00:39] <Senor> restarting again.
[00:39] <k1l_> maybe he just needs to run nomodeset untill he installed a proper nvidia driver
[00:39] <SahibPrime> R13ose: Has it finished?
[00:39] <R13ose> SahibPrime: Yes
[00:39] <SahibPrime> R13ose: Did it display any errors?
[00:39] <yeats> !nomodeset | Senor
[00:39] <R13ose> SahibPrime: I don't think so but I can do that again to see for sure if you want me to
[00:40] <SahibPrime> R13ose: Alright, now go to Grub in the recovery menu. What options does it give?
[00:41] <Senor> ok, i'm reading this tutorial...
[00:41] <R13ose> SahibPrime: There were no options just Generating grub configuration file.  Warning: Setting GRUB_TIMEOUT to a non-zero value when GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is set is no longer supported.  Found linux and initrd image.  Should I press enter?
[00:42] <Senor> this isn't very straight forward as i'm not a guru. haha
[00:43] <SahibPrime> R13ose: Yes.
[00:43] <R13ose> SahibPrime: next?
[00:44] <SahibPrime> R13ose: Are you back at the recovery menu?
[00:44] <R13ose> SahibPrime: yes
[00:44] <SahibPrime> R13ose: Go to the root shell. Once you are in, type 'lsblk', then hit enter.
[00:45] <Bashing-om> R13ose: Are you aware in a minimal install there is no GUI ( desktop ) until you install what is required ?
[00:46] <SahibPrime> R13ose: What does it display?
[00:46] <R13ose> sda - sda1 - sda2 - sda5 under that is both of these -- ubuntu--vg-root -- ubuntu--vg-swap_1
[00:46] <Senor> where do i type the "nomodeset"?
[00:46] <R13ose> brb
[00:46] <SahibPrime> Senor: Does the GRUB menu display?
[00:47] <Senor> yes, i'm at the grub menu
[00:47] <SahibPrime> Senor: Make sure 'Ubuntu' is highlighted, then press 'e'.
[00:47] <Senor> rgr
[00:48] <Senor> ok, i see a bunch of text now.
[00:48] <R13ose> Back sorry
[00:48] <SahibPrime> Senor: Ok, scroll down with your arrow keys, until you see a line starting with 'linux /boot'.
[00:48] <SahibPrime> R13ose: welcome back
[00:48] <Senor> i see it
[00:48] <SahibPrime> Senor: Once you are there, position the cursor to the end of the line, then type 'nomodeset'.
[00:48] <SahibPrime> Make sure there is a space before nomodeset.
[00:48] <R13ose> SahibPrime: what is next step?
[00:49] <SahibPrime> R13ose: What partition did you install Ubuntu to>
[00:49] <R13ose> SahibPrime: says /boot is on sda1
[00:50] <SahibPrime> R13ose: What else?
[00:50] <Qwertie> How do I mount an encrypted ubuntu drive from a live usb?
[00:50] <Senor> i pushed f10 after entering 'nomodeset' and i got an error. (ACPI PCC probe failed)
[00:50] <Senor> maybe i entered it in the wrong place
[00:51] <Joel> how can I tell what apt source this should be in? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+source/libid3tag
[00:51] <R13ose> SahibPrime: that there is a lvm under sda5 and 465.5G has been allocated to the items under sda5.
[00:51] <SahibPrime> Senor: Alright, so nomodeset didn't work. Since it involves ACPI, I think you should disable ACPI.
[00:52] <SahibPrime> This could disable some important features (like fans, for instance) so you might want to be a bit careful.
[00:52] <R13ose> SahibPrime: / and [SWAP] are there too.
[00:52] <Senor> how do i disable ACPI?
[00:52] <SahibPrime> Senor: Go ahead, and get back into that GRUB menu. Highlight 'Ubuntu' and hit 'e'.
[00:52] <Senor> i'm there
[00:52] <SahibPrime> Senor: Go back to that 'linux /boot' line, and add: acpi=off
[00:52] <SahibPrime> With a space before it, of course.
[00:53] <SahibPrime> Continue the boot.
[00:53] <SahibPrime> (hit Control+X)
[00:53] <Senor> did you want me to put nomodeset also?
[00:54] <R13ose> SahibPrime: for whom?
[00:54] <SahibPrime> Senor: Yes, that could work.
[00:54] <SahibPrime> R13ose: For Senor.
[00:54] <Senor> sahi: i think it's working. it's doing a bunch of texting on the screen and loading.
[00:54] <R13ose> SahibPrime: what do I do?
[00:54] <SahibPrime> Senor: :)
[00:55] <squinty> Joel,   http://packages.ubuntu.com/  and use the search function for your distro
[00:55] <MannyLNJ> Still working on getting network sharing to work. Smbclient is giving  me Connection to 192.168.1.104 failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED) I need help fixing this
[00:55] <raphus> hi guyz
[00:55] <SahibPrime> R13ose: Try rebooting into Ubuntu.
[00:56] <raphus> check DNS Settings
[00:57] <SahibPrime> Senor: Has it worked?
[00:57] <Senor> the screen is black now, i think i should have put "nomodeset and acpi=off"
[00:57] <daftykins> raphus: you're asking how to, or what?
[00:57] <SahibPrime> Senor: Did you seperate them with a space
[00:58] <Senor> sahi: i'll try that.
[00:58] <daftykins> Senor: you don't need to mess with ACPI like that - stop reading into that message!
[00:58] <squinty> MannyLNJ,  have you tried using  nautilus -> connect to server -> smb://192.168.1.104    should connect and show any shares
[01:02] <Senor> sahib, it's loading but the screen is totally black. i'm going to give it some time.
[01:02] <six_> hmm Im new with this client
[01:02] <SahibPrime> Senor: If you press the left arrow key, does it give you anything?
[01:02] <six_> im trying to accesss
[01:02] <six_> irc.oftc.net#subgraph
[01:03] <six_> any suggestions
[01:03] <six_> cant seem to get the chanel to load
[01:03] <Senor> nothing
[01:04] <SahibPrime> Senor: Can you access the loading screen (or any messages) in any way?
[01:05] <squinty> six_,  no problem joing that net or channel here with hexchat
[01:05] <R13ose> SahibPrime: when I did fsck again I got error: "Error getting authority: Error initialising authority: Could not connect: no such file or directory (g-io-error-quark, 1)
[01:06] <SahibPrime> R13ose: So, this error happens when an entry in /etc/fstab links to a partition that no longer exists.
[01:06] <SahibPrime> R13ose: Can you go back to the root shell, and run these commands:
[01:07] <R13ose> SahibPrime: how to fix this?
[01:07] <SahibPrime> R13ose: mount -all
[01:07] <SahibPrime> R13ose: nano /etc/fstab
[01:07] <R13ose> SahibPrime: done both
[01:07] <SahibPrime> R13ose: what does it show?
[01:14] <notalentgeek> Hello I need help on reinstalling/fixing Grub from Lubuntu live ISO. Any ideas?
[01:14] <notalentgeek> I have tried this method http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd but it does not working because there is missing dev directory in the live ISO Flash disk.
[01:15] <R13ose> SahibPrime: too much to write but okay.  Uncommented text only.  /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root /      ext4 errors=remount-ro 0   1   Next line of uncommented.

[01:15] <R13ose> Sorry if that is too much
[01:15] <SahibPrime> R13ose: Alright, from there it seems that /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root (your root partition) is failing.
[01:17] <R13ose> SahibPrime: how to fix?
[01:17] <SahibPrime> R13ose: I'm not quite sure. You can try reinstalling Ubuntu.
[01:17] <SahibPrime> I think it's related to LVM.
[01:18] <R13ose> Really?  I installed this twice and happened before too
[01:18] <R13ose> Without LVM
[01:19] <squinty> notalentgeek,  might want to see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot
[01:19] <SahibPrime> R13ose: Well, then I'm not sure how to fix it.
[01:20] <SahibPrime> Have you tried rebooting into Ubuntu (again)?
[01:20] <R13ose> I pushed continue on and goes to command line login
[01:20] <notalentgeek> squinty, On it.
[01:21] <R13ose> Should I go there?
[01:21] <SahibPrime> R13ose: Yes.
[01:21] <SahibPrime> 'mini' suggests you used a minimal install.
[01:22] <SahibPrime> In which case there is no DE, ergo command-line interface.
[01:22] <SahibPrime> So, your Ubuntu installation may not be broken.
[01:22] <Senor> sahib, i can't access anything. i just have a black screen.
[01:22] <R13ose> DE?  I am in and logged in, now what?
[01:23] <SahibPrime> Desktop Environment
[01:23] <squinty> desktop environment
[01:23] <squinty> hee
[01:23] <SahibPrime> I think if you install Unity, it'll show it:
[01:23] <SahibPrime> Run: sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends ubuntu-desktop
[01:24] <notalentgeek> squinty, The normal system partition is the Lubuntu in my HDD or in Lubuntu Live in my FlashDisk?
[01:24] <proauz> I am trying to install a package but I keep failing with the following error message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15302913/
[01:24] <proauz> how do I fix it?
[01:24] <SahibPrime> notalentgeek: I believe it is the HDD.
[01:25] <R13ose> Do I want to continue? This is for installing and updating
[01:25] <k1l_> proauz: were you here some days ago?
[01:25] <SahibPrime> R13ose: Yes.
[01:25] <proauz> k1l_, yeah but I had a different issue then
[01:25] <squinty> notalentgeek, harddrive
[01:25] <proauz> i had a warning triangle at the top right of the screen
[01:25] <SahibPrime> proauz: Boot into recovery mode, then choose dpkg.
[01:26] <Senor> sahib, i'm going to try with recovery mode.
[01:26] <SahibPrime> Senor: Alright.
[01:26] <R13ose> Install these packages without verification?
[01:26] <proauz> SahibPrime, choose dpkg meanig?
[01:26] <SahibPrime> proauz: Do you see the GRUB screen?
[01:26] <SahibPrime> R13ose: Yes.
[01:26] <notalentgeek> squinty, SahibPrime, I get an error that says /bin/bash no such file or directory when calling chroot from terminal.
[01:26] <proauz> SahibPrime, no
[01:26] <k1l_> proauz: i guess the acestream PPA is still rubbish
[01:26] <proauz> k1l_, I see
[01:26] <SahibPrime> proauz: Try holding SHIFT while restarting.
[01:26] <squinty> !raring
[01:27] <k1l_> proauz: i am sure i told you that already that this is too old. since raring is dead a long time now.
[01:27] <squinty> proauz: ^^
[01:27] <R13ose> The internet is not connected for some reason
[01:27] <proauz> k1l_, I see.. ok so how do I remove any traces of it?
[01:27] <SahibPrime> Accidentally closed IRC.
[01:28] <SahibPrime> proauz: Once you hold SHIFT on startup, do you see the GRUB menu?
[01:28] <Senor> sahib, i'm at the recovery menu. :)
[01:28] <R13ose> The internet is not connected for some reason
[01:28] <Senor> any further instruction?
[01:28] <squinty> proauz, install one of the newer ubuntu versions
[01:29] <k1l_> proauz: what is "lsb_release -d"?
[01:29] <proauz> Description:	Ubuntu 15.10
[01:29] <R13ose> SahibPrime: what do I do?
[01:30] <k1l_> proauz: ""grep ^ /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*" in a pastebin please
[01:30] <Senor> what do i do at the recovery menu?
[01:31] <proauz> k1l_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/15302973/
[01:31] <SahibPrime> Senor: So, run fsck.
[01:31] <SahibPrime> Say YES to any prompts, then tell me if there are any errors.
[01:31] <notalentgeek> Hello I need help on reinstalling/fixing Grub from Lubuntu live ISO. Any ideas :))?
[01:31] <k1l_> proauz: remove the acestream line in the sources.list
[01:31] <cfhowlett> !grub2 | notalentgeek
[01:32] <Senor> ugh, it locked up on the recovery mode screen. let me restart.
[01:32] <R13ose> SahibPrime: can't connect to Internet?
[01:32] <R13ose> ?=.
[01:33] <SahibPrime> R13ose: Not connected on what? Sorry, I was out of the loop for a bit
[01:33] <R13ose> On my linux machine in the command line as I was installing and updating
[01:34] <notalentgeek> cfhowlett, I get an error Failed to get canonical path of '/cow'

[01:38] <squinty> MannyLNJ,  did you try the nautilus -> conect to server  etc which I posted earlier.  if that didn't show windows shares then make sure you have windows shares set properly
[01:38] <MannyLNJ> squarecircle, i can't use natulis I only have ssh access

[01:41] <k1l_> sudo sed -i -e 's/deb http/deb [arch=amd64] http/' "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list"
[01:41] <pomuaz> ok
[01:41] <k1l_> that both lines will handle it. google dropped 32bit support for chrome. and so the packages cant be found anymore.
[01:41] <pomuaz> update and upgrade should work now?
[01:42] <k1l_> yes
[01:42] <MannyLNJ> squinty, The computer attached to the tv is a set top box running Windows 8. It's 100% silent which the wife wanted. My movies are on external drives attached to a ubuntu system in the basement with no video (broken lcd screen and no vga port) I need to access the basement share from my other systems
[01:42] <pomuaz> lots of stuff is happening
[01:43] <R13ose> SahibPrime: I did networking and "resolving: Error: /run/resolving/interface either does not exist or is not a directory.  Grep: /etc/resolve.confirm: No such file or directory.
[01:44] <pomuaz> seems to be working k1l_
[01:44] <Senor> and this is just so frustrating...
[01:44] <R13ose> Senor: I know
[01:44] <Senor> it has to be something with my graphics card.
[01:45] <Senor> i want to switch to linux so badly, but so many speedbumps.
[01:45] <daftykins> can you boot with nomodeset alone appended, Senor ?
[01:45] <Senor> i'll try again
[01:46] <daftykins> MannyLNJ: what was the syntax of your smbclient command that errored with the above?
[01:46] <daftykins> samba is pretty easy to get going as long as you have some core concepts set.
[01:46] <notalentgeek> Hello guys I have an error that says that I need to load the kernel first when I boot my computer. I already fix my Grub loader. What should I do :)?
[01:47] <MannyLNJ> daftykins, smbclient -L //192.168.1.104 -U emanuel
[01:47] <daftykins> right but no pass?
[01:47] <daftykins> or are you entering it interactively?
[01:47] <Senor> okay, so i booted with "nomodeset" and now it works....wow.
[01:48] <Senor> i didn't do anything differently and no it wants to work...
[01:48] <daftykins> Senor: this is an installed version?
[01:48] <Senor> now*
[01:48] <Senor> yea
[01:48] <MannyLNJ> daftykins, yes so I can figure out why it's not working
[01:48] <daftykins> which one? (version)
[01:48] <MiniFridge> I'm new to Ubuntu Server and have my own VPS, but I ran into an issue. I did sudo apt-get upgrade and I guess grub got updated. It was saying that Grub was modified and to select an option to proceed with the update and I meant to copy something, but it selected it. What do I do?
[01:48] <daftykins> MannyLNJ: don't use -L, try the actual share.
[01:48] <Senor> i'm at the desktop. is there anything i should do specifically?
[01:48] <daftykins> Senor: get it online if you can then share "lspci" output in http://paste.ubuntu.com
[01:49] <MannyLNJ> daftykins, I'm not sure what the actual share to enter is.
[01:49] <Senor> dafty, i don't know what you're saying.
[01:50] <Senor> dafty, can i start installing my cpu/usb etc drivers?
[01:50] <daftykins> Senor: you don't do that on Linux - in fact you don't have 'CPU' drivers on Windows either :)
[01:51] <Senor> i just meant the general drivers, like my usb 3.0 and stuff.
[01:51] <daftykins> Senor: i'm saying connect to the internet (if your wifi is working) and open the 'terminal' application, run the command "lspci" then paste the output from it to the above link
[01:51] <daftykins> Senor: yeah you still don't, that's all part of the kernel
[01:51] <Senor> o ok
[01:52] <Senor> ok let me figure out how to open the terminal. :)
[01:52] <Senor> this is so awesome
[01:52] <daftykins> well hold on, because you have a horrible low res desktop right now, you're not there yet.
[01:53] <R13ose> Any thoughts on mine?
[01:53] <Senor> dafty, i typed the 'lspci' in the terminal
[01:53] <Senor> pasting it now
[01:54] <squinty> MannyLNJ,  might also want to check out Kodi(aka xbmc)  if you install on your windows box, it should pick up your linux shares
[01:54] <daftykins> R13ose: haven't been following.
[01:54] <MannyLNJ> squinty, will try that. be back
[01:54] <squinty> MannyLNJ,   https://kodi.tv/
[01:54] <daftykins> squinty: no it still uses samba, or can use NFS - so that's not going to help :)
[01:55] <Senor> dafty, i pasted it.
[01:56] <daftykins> Senor: you have to paste the link here
[01:56] <daftykins> as fun as guessing randomly generated codes is :>
[01:56] <Senor> paste.ubuntu.com/15303311
[01:57] <Remind> Hey guys. New user here. I'm using Ubuntu MATE. I had to restart a bunch of times to finally be able to log in (I would get stuck with a fast scrolling list of nouveau SCHED_ERROR's). I have a hybrid intel/NVIDIA 950M GTX card. Any ideas?
[01:57] <daftykins> Senor: what does "uname -r" say?
[01:57] <Senor> what is that?
[01:57] <daftykins> Remind: yes nouveau, the open source nvidia driver, is defocating bricks. you'll want to install the nvidia proprietary driver
[01:58] <daftykins> Senor: a command to run in terminal to tell me the version of Linux kernel on the install you did.
[01:58] <daftykins> to help determine which version you installed, since you didn't say
[01:58] <Remind> daftykins: Thank you so much. Would you mind helping me with that? I tried this in the past, and spent days on it and it kept finding dead ends, lol
[01:58] <daftykins> Remind: what's this machine?
[01:58] <daftykins> make + model
[01:59] <Senor> dafty, 3.19.0-25-generic
[01:59] <lugvanilla> I installed this and want the old gnome desktop but " Package 'gnome-session-fallback' has no installation candidate"
[01:59] <daftykins> lugvanilla: trying to get that on which version?
[01:59] <daftykins> Senor: ok so you installed... 14.04.3? or 15.04?
[01:59] <daftykins> Senor: "cat /etc/issue" will report this
[01:59] <notalentgeek> Remind, I had that problem before. I got a lot of suggestion from people but it was to complicated for newbie me. So I just re - install the whole operating system.
[01:59] <Senor> 14
[02:00] <Senor> did i do something wrong?
[02:00] <daftykins> Senor: run my last command please
[02:01] <Senor> it says, 'no such file or directory'
[02:01] <ubuntu-studio> hello
[02:02] <Senor> nm
[02:02] <Senor> it worked
[02:02] <daftykins> Senor: i think you typo'd the name - "cat /etc/issue"
[02:02] <Senor> ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS /n
[02:03] <Bashing-om> Remind: What release are you running, and what does the repo have for drivers as returned ' sudo ubuntu-drivers list ' ? as Nvidia recommends the 371 version driver .
[02:03] <Bashing-om> 361**
[02:04] <daftykins> Senor: ok, i'm kinda puzzled that your earlier paste of lspci does not recognise the graphics hardware very well. did you connect to the internet and allow "download updates during install" ? if not, run it now - "sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade"
[02:04] <docmur> I can't seem to run any kind of X11 app over SSH.  I have Xming installed and I have putty set to accept the X11 forward. If I try virt-manager, I get no errors and no output, If I try anything else I get Error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0 I can't seem to solve either error, this all started a couple days ago, before then, everyhing worked fine
[02:05] <lugvanilla> daffykins 15.10
[02:06] <daftykins> lugvanilla: so you're essentially after the old gnome 2, with the "apps, places, something" menu bar?
[02:06] <Senor> dafty, is the terminal suppose to do something when i type that in?
[02:06] <soke> jj
[02:06] <daftykins> Senor: yes
[02:07] <Senor> maybe i typed it wrong
[02:07] <R13ose> What do I do?
[02:07] <daftykins> Senor: you can update graphically instead if you prefer, click the dash icon top left (if this is unity) then type "update" to find the update manager
[02:07] <Senor> oh. i tried to close it and it says "process still running"
[02:08] <daftykins> Senor: well what's it saying?
[02:08] <Senor> software updater?
[02:08] <daftykins> it's either making new lines downloading package lists, or asking for a password to be entered
[02:08] <daftykins> yeah but you can't do both at once
[02:09] <Senor> OH! the software updater is doing it's job. :)
[02:09] <daftykins> !info linux-generic vivid
[02:09] <Senor> "updated software has been issued since Ubuntu 14.04 was released. Do you want to install now? yes?
[02:10] <daftykins> Senor: indeed yes
[02:10] <daftykins> an updated OS makes for happy, secure users
[02:10] <Senor> it's downloading things.
[02:11] <daftykins> cool, reboot after that - if it still fails, add nomodeset again then we'll try something else
[02:11] <Senor> so dafty, not to jump ahead of myself, but will we eventually update the graphics driver?
[02:12] <daftykins> no, but probably install a proprietary one :) as right now only the open source nouveau is on - and likely it is having issues
[02:12] <Senor> yes i agree, last time i installed all this stuff without installing a proprietary one and i was back to square one.
[02:13] <R13ose> Hi
[02:13] <Senor> in the future, should i buy ati gpus instead of nvidia?
[02:14] <daftykins> no, AMD are worse.
[02:14] <daftykins> (on Linux)
[02:14] <daftykins> R13ose: if you're not willing to restate your problem, i can't comment - so please stop
[02:14] <R13ose> How do I fix the internet not connecting in command Iine?
[02:14] <dax> open-source (which basically means non-gaming): intel > radeon > nouveau | closed-source: nvidia > fglrx
[02:15] <daftykins> R13ose: what did you do to stop it working?
[02:15] <Senor> dax, so in the future, buy a radeon?
[02:15] <daftykins> _NO_
[02:15] <Senor> oh, sry. i read that wrong.
[02:15] <dax> Senor: depends what you plan on doing with it. if you want games and stuff, no
[02:16] <Senor> non gaming, is closed.
[02:16] <R13ose> daftykins: I installed the mini cd version of Ubuntu and the internet hasn't worked since.
[02:16] <daftykins> R13ose: why did you install this? is this a laptop?
[02:16] <bbaqar> Error: Too many open files .. limits are maxed out .. grrr
[02:16] <bbaqar> what to do
[02:17] <R13ose> daftykins: reinstalling after system broke.  Yes laptop
[02:17] <daftykins> R13ose: so you're sat at pure command line, correct?
[02:17] <daftykins> bbaqar: that's not a well phrase question until you type it as one
[02:17] <daftykins> we have no idea what you did :)
[02:18] <R13ose> daftykins: yes until I install gui
[02:18] <Remind> daftykins: So sorry, my computer crashed, again and I got in another boot loop with nouveau errors again. I had to add 'nomodeset' to my linux line
[02:18] <daftykins> R13ose: so what's your network connection, wireless?
[02:18] <Remind> I have a MSI GP60 Leopard Pro, the one with the GTX 950M
[02:19] <Senor> this is a large update....
[02:19] <R13ose> daftykins: yes wireless normally but can go wired if needed
[02:19] <daftykins> Remind:< Bashing-om> Remind: What release are you running, and what does the repo have for drivers as returned ' sudo ubuntu-drivers list ' ? as Nvidia recommends the 371 version driver .
[02:19] <i90rr> hi all, is there a way to prevent the launcher from grabbing the Super + number keys? Rather than launching the application on a specific slot I would prefer to enable the workspace switch using that combination
[02:20] <daftykins> Senor: yep you installed from old media
[02:20] <daftykins> R13ose: ok so put a network cable in and reboot
[02:21] <Remind> daftykins: I'm using Ubuntu MATE 15.10, and that command gives back nvidia-352
[02:21] <Senor> this is way cooler than windows.
[02:21] <daftykins> mmm don't pick 352 - run "sudo apt update" then try it again, Remind
[02:21] <R13ose> daftykins: I did that but also didn't work out.
[02:22] <daftykins> R13ose: do it again then you can run some commands to see what's going on
[02:22] <lugvanilla> daftykins, I installed mate
[02:22] <daftykins> lugvanilla: so then you don't need gnome fallback.
[02:23] <Senor> dafty, should i wait until the updater is finished before installing google chrome and other programs?
[02:23] <daftykins> Senor: yes don't mess with it right now- you don't know if it'll last.
[02:23] <R13ose> daftykins: rebooted with cable connected.
[02:23] <Senor> k
[02:24] <daftykins> R13ose: are you familiar with IP addressing? would you recognise the IPs your router gives out via DHCP if you saw them?
[02:24] <daftykins> run "ifconfig" and look if an interface has such an IP
[02:24] <R13ose> daftykins: I believe so
[02:25] <daftykins> more often then not, it'd be 192.168.x.x
[02:25] <R13ose> daftykins: all I see is lo and 127.0
[02:26] <daftykins> R13ose: what computer is this?
[02:26] <R13ose> 127.0.0.1 which is my localhost
[02:26] <Senor> dafty, updates are finished. it's asking me to restart. i dont think i should.
[02:26] <daftykins> Senor: do. and as i said, if it goes blank again - reboot and append nomodeset once more to get back in
[02:27] <daftykins> R13ose: make + model?
[02:27] <Senor> alright, fingers crossed.
[02:27] <R13ose> daftykins: computer? Acer Aspire V
[02:28] <Senor> blank purple screen.
[02:28] <daftykins> R13ose: ok try this "lspci" and look for network adapters, share their names if you see them
[02:28] <Senor> i'll restart again
[02:28] <daftykins> Senor: only if you waited long enough
[02:28] <lugvanilla> daftykins, thank you.
[02:30] <R13ose> daftykins: Network or Ethernet?
[02:30] <daftykins> R13ose: both
[02:32] <Senor> should i just keep restarting with nomodeset until it goes back in?
[02:32] <daftykins> yep
[02:33] <R13ose> daftykins: Network controller [0280]: Qualcomm Atheros AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter [168c:0034] (rev 01).
[02:33] <Senor> ok. it's funny how it works sometimes. haha
[02:33] <daftykins> R13ose: that the only one?
[02:33] <daftykins> Senor: yeah i don't think i've seen that
[02:34] <Senor> however, i'm not getting any errors. i'm restarting with 'nomodeset' and it's just a black screen with the white underscore blinking.
[02:35] <R13ose> daftykins: Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller [10ec:8168] (rev 14)
[02:35] <daftykins> Senor: when it's there, try Ctrl+Alt+F1 through F12 and see if you get anything else display
[02:35] <R13ose> daftykins: these are the two I see
[02:35] <daftykins> R13ose: does "ifconfig -a" only show 'lo' ?
[02:36] <R13ose> daftykins: enp4s0f1, lo, wlp3s0
[02:37] <daftykins> R13ose: ah-haaa
[02:37] <Senor> you know what's weird, i have an illuminated keyboard and it turns off. i wonder if that's playing around with anything.
[02:37] <daftykins> R13ose: which version did you install the mini.iso of?
[02:37] <daftykins> Senor: those tend to work at the hardware/BIOS level, so no
[02:37] <R13ose> daftykins: the first one under the 64 bit
[02:38] <daftykins> R13ose: can you be more specific... it's important to the success
[02:38] <Senor> when i was in ubuntu desktop, it wouldn't illuminate. it was functional though.
[02:38] <daftykins> R13ose: anyway try "sudo ifup enp4s0f1" then "sudo dhclient enp4s0f1"
[02:39] <R13ose> daftykins: under 64-bit PC (amd64, x86_64)

[02:39] <daftykins> okie dokie

[02:40] <omenius> hey I need to rename bunch of images, making them lowercase and taking "_icon" from the end. How do one do that with console?
[02:40] <daftykins> you ask in #bash
[02:40] <omenius> I mean, this is one of thing that is doable with linux with ez, right?
[02:40] <monkey_> Hi all. Im wanting to put Cinnamon onto 15.10. I installed the base package via "apt-get install cinnamon" I did a search beforehand. When i log into cinnamon, a lot of icons are missing. Would it be best to install the entire desktop environment, or individual components?
[02:41] <daftykins> omenius: not with ease, with experience.
[02:41] <monkey_> Also, can i install the full thing over cinnamon? Or should i remove the base package before installing the full thing?
[02:41] <R13ose> daftykins: Ignoring unknown interface enp4s0f1=enp4s0f1
[02:41] <daftykins> R13ose: why is it typed twice with an equals sign between? are you sure it matches the interface name "ifconfig -a" gave?
[02:42] <Senor> dafty, should i try recovery mode?
[02:42] <daftykins> correct my commands to it if it was wrong
[02:42] <daftykins> Senor: you could try it yes and picking to boot to a root shell
[02:42] <R13ose> daftykins: yes and the second command, there is no output.
[02:42] <monkey_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/15303752/ This is the full list
[02:43] <lnxmen> how to add options for i915?
[02:44] <lnxmen> I tried to change /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf
[02:44] <lnxmen> But it does not work for me.
[02:44] <lnxmen> Would you help me?
[02:44] <Senor> i dont know how to boot to a root shell
[02:44] <Aussie_matt3> Any DELL XPS13 developer edition users about?
[02:45] <daftykins> Senor: once you pick recovery it should all become clear, when i don't provide explanations it is often because it's obvious
[02:45] <daftykins> typing from a Dell XPS13 9350 right now :)
[02:45] <daftykins> doesn't have a Loonix on though.
[02:45] <R13ose> daftykins: what is next?
[02:45] <Aussie_matt3> ah cool. I have a 9333, but I need to do a clean install for warranty :( not 100% on which iso's etc. i should be using
[02:45] <k1l> Aussie_matt3: there is the project sputnik for the dell cps
[02:45] <k1l> *xps
[02:46] <Senor> sorry, i just don't know the correct terms for certain things. :)
[02:46] <daftykins> R13ose: recheck "ifconfig" now - see if an IP came up for that interface
[02:46] <\9> Senor: root refers to the administrator user, a root shell is a terminal with administrator rights
[02:46] <\9> Senor: you can get to this shell from recovery mode
[02:47] <Senor> oh ok
[02:48] <R13ose> daftykins: yes.  Now I can try to do apt-get?
[02:48] <daftykins> R13ose: "ping google.com" first ; ctrl+c to stop if you get replies successfully
[02:49] <R13ose> daftykins: yes that worked, I got 2 received
[02:49] <daftykins> cool, "sudo apt update"
[02:49] <R13ose> daftykins: okay
[02:49] <daftykins> R13ose: so what's the deal here, trying to do a minimal install of something like i3?
[02:50] <lnxmen> How to make modprobe.d/module.conf options work?
[02:50] <daftykins> what are you actually doing?
[02:50] <spooky_> tell me how you turn off autoconnect with this pos xchat software that comes with ubuntu
[02:50] <daftykins> ditch it and get hexchat.
[02:51] <spooky_> thanks
[02:51] <spooky_> done
[02:51] <spooky_> and
[02:51] <spooky_> done
[02:51] <R13ose> daftykins: no CD ROM and USB key that is small
[02:51] <daftykins> ah
[02:51] <spooky_> update thongs now on sale for $45
[02:51] <daftykins> the pauper version for making your life complicated
[02:52] <spooky_> $45 is too mcuh i agree
[02:53] <daftykins> Aussie_matt3: i don't think any reinstalls from normal ubuntu media will make everything work, Dell have extras they put in
[02:53] <daftykins> spooky_: what are you talking about? the chat isn't welcome here.
[02:53] <R13ose> daftykins: thanks for the help so far.
[02:53] <spooky_> i'm talking about ubuntu
[02:54] <spooky_> first rule of #ubuntu ...
[02:54] <daftykins> spooky_: cut the trolling then, it doesn't cost anything so take the bs elsewhere please
[02:54] <Aussie_matt3> daftykins: dell says to use http://linux.dell.com/files/ubuntu/precise/12.04-OSP1/ but there's no checksum values :(
[02:54] <daftykins> 12.04 is ancient too
[02:54] <spooky_> i dont like ubuntu defaults
[02:55] <spooky_> there i said it!
[02:55] <spooky_> i feel so much better now
[02:55] <salthesailor> what about the cin. desktop for ubuntu?
[02:55] <lnxmen> Would you help me with setting options for module? I added /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf file with options, but it seems to be ignored. What am I doing wrong?
[02:55] <daftykins> lnxmen: i want you to say what you're actually doing?
[02:56] <lnxmen> daftykins: adding options for power saving mode
[02:56] <daftykins> like PCIe channel width reduction?
[02:56] <lnxmen> options i915 enable_rc6=1 enable_fbc=1 lvds_downclock=1 semaphores=1
[02:57] <obZen> Does anyone know the Ubuntu equivalent of /etc/mkinitcpio.conf?
[02:57] <obZen> Like, where the HOOKS and MODULES are located?
[02:57] <daftykins> lnxmen: i've seen some of those passed as kernel boot parameters before
[02:57] <lnxmen> Me too.
[02:58] <lnxmen> But it's rather not a solution.
[02:58] <daftykins> why not?
[02:58] <lnxmen> Because when I will have new kernel, I would need to do it again.
[02:58] <lnxmen> systool -m i915 -av tells that there is only one parameter set:
[02:58] <lnxmen>  enable_hangcheck    = "Y"
[02:58] <R13ose> daftykins: mine is setup for wired at the moment, right?
[02:58] <daftykins> lnxmen: not if you're setting them properly in /etc/default/grub as your default boot params
[02:59] <daftykins> R13ose: only for the current boot - why?
[02:59] <lnxmen> daftykins: and there is no solution to make modprobe.d conf file wokring?
[02:59] <R13ose> daftykins: if I want to move to wireless
[02:59] <daftykins> lnxmen: i just can't help you with that, no experience
[02:59] <salthesailor> why does the ubuntu wiki site list ubuntu, not as a distro for linux, but rather canon.?
[03:00] <daftykins> R13ose: well what's the idea, is this to be a server - or a desktop? what desktop will you install?
[03:00] <salthesailor> i know thats the distributer
[03:00] <salthesailor> but...
[03:00] <daftykins> Canonical make Ubuntu
[03:00] <daftykins> Ubuntu uses the Linux kernel.
[03:00] <R13ose> daftykins: this is a desktop.
[03:01] <daftykins> R13ose: right but are you installing a GRAPHICAL desktop? :) like unity or something else? what's the plan?
[03:01] <salthesailor> i know, but like manjaro lists linux
[03:01] <salthesailor> ubuntu does not
[03:01] <k1l> salthesailor: http://www.ubuntu.com/about/about-ubuntu/ubuntu-and-debian
[03:01] <daftykins> salthesailor: what do you mean 'list' and what makes this a support question?
[03:01] <lnxmen> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet i915.enable_rc6=1 i915.enable_rc6=1 i915.lvds_downclock=1 i915.semaphores=1"
[03:01] <lnxmen> daftykins: correct?
[03:01] <k1l> salthesailor: even the main about page lists alot more: http://www.ubuntu.com/about/about-ubuntu/
[03:01] <R13ose> daftykins: I believe icewm I think.
[03:01] <daftykins> i don't know 100%, but i'm sure you can confirm online - lnxmen
[03:02] <k1l> salthesailor: so i think we can drop that topic now in this technical support channel.
[03:02] <lnxmen> daftykins: probably ;)
[03:02] <daftykins> R13ose: then i have no experience with that, but for example if you installed the full 'ubuntu-desktop' right now it would pull in everything including network manager which could handle your wifi
[03:02] <lnxmen> daftykins: okay, thanks. reboot
[03:03] <Senor> man...
[03:03] <salthesailor> yea, but ubuntu seems more geared toward amazon than open and free
[03:03] <Senor> so many reboots and nothing
[03:03] <salthesailor> imo
[03:03] <daftykins> Senor: did you not try recovery yet... i thought that was the idea :)
[03:03] <k1l> !ot | salthesailor
[03:03] <daftykins> salthesailor: that's an extremely stupid statement
[03:04] <R13ose> daftykins: Let the current command finish and then I will tell you what I am using.
[03:04] <Senor> daftykins, it wont work in recovery either.
[03:04] <k1l> salthesailor: and you are not well informed with your trolling attempts. so read about the latest amazon related statements.
[03:04] <Senor> i'm giving her all i've got, captain.
[03:04] <daftykins> Senor: no, you're meant to choose recovery and get to a shell so we can install the graphics driver...
[03:04] <Senor> oh
[03:04] <salthesailor> i'm not trolling, i'm asking
[03:04] <salthesailor> sheesh
[03:04] <dax> then please go ask somewhere that isn't a technical support channel
[03:05] <salthesailor> it is geared toward sales
[03:05] <Senor> i try to boot into recovery, but i can't get to a shell.
[03:05] <dax> e.g. the offtopic channel ubottu told you about already
[03:05] <daftykins> salthesailor: utterly stupid statement, you clearly haven't even used it if you think that
[03:05] <R13ose> daftykins: I am installing ubuntu-desktop
[03:05] <salthesailor> i have used it
[03:05] <daftykins> R13ose: cool, once that finishes (lots to download, lots to install...) reboot and you should have a GUI
[03:06] <daftykins> then wifi should be good
[03:06] <Senor> daftykins: which recovery should i do? there's two of them.
[03:06] <R13ose> daftykins: I will wait and see
[03:06] <daftykins> they likely have kernel versions beside the words, thus the newest one - -50 or -51
[03:07] <Senor> ok, it's loading a bunch of things.
[03:08] <Senor> keyboard is locked up.
[03:08] <daftykins> patience, grasshopper
[03:08] <Senor> :)
[03:08] <Senor> sry, i'm american.
[03:09] <daftykins> hmm i think if i were you Senor i'd just grab the 16.04 daily image and try it out. the GTX 970 had issues earlier on, but it should be fine in the 14.04 you got - i find it weird the lspci output didn't even know what it was
[03:09] <daftykins> i mean it knew it was the nvidia card, but not that it's the GTX 970
[03:09] <Senor> daftykins, so you want me to download ubuntu 16.04?
[03:10] <Senor> put it on the usb stick and install?
[03:10] <aaaa> today, i install the ubuntu mate 15
[03:10] <aaaa> installing wine
[03:11] <monkey_> ahh ffs, I just installed cinnamon-desktop-environment and its installed a tonne of programs i dont want, is there any way to undo the process?
[03:11] <lnxmen> daftykins: hmm, I booted with new config, but it's still only one parameter set - enable_hangcheck    = "Y"
[03:11] <daftykins> Senor: it'd be the quicker approach than messing around and finding out what's up, in my opinion
[03:11] <R13ose> daftykins: "Errors were encountered while processing: libgail-3-0:amd64"
[03:11] <daftykins> Senor: i mean i'm sure we could crack it, however it's 3am so i'm calling it a day
[03:11] <daftykins> R13ose: did it stop there?
[03:11] <daftykins> back to user@host ?
[03:11] <Senor> okay, thanks for your help and patience.
[03:12] <daftykins> Senor: np :)
[03:12] <R13ose> daftykins: that was the last line.
[03:12] <Senor> i'll see you again in here, since i'm a linux noob.
[03:12] <daftykins> R13ose: try "sudo apt-get -f install"
[03:12] <daftykins> heh :> fair enough, i'm a regular volunteer but just popped back in today after a long hiatus
[03:12] <daftykins> too much paid work to be done!
[03:13] <R13ose> daftykins: says reinstall before configuring that package.
[03:13] <daftykins> welp, that's all i have time for today
[03:13] <daftykins> next time you're down the supermarket, pick up a flash drive, R13ose
[03:14] <R13ose> I will thanks
[03:15] <Senor> anyone running 16.04/
[03:15] <Senor> ?
[03:16] <lnxmen> daftykins: maybe it's something with kernel if it's not loading parameters from boot configuration?
[03:18] <hil> Senor, channel #ubuntu+1 deals with that
[03:18] <daftykins> lnxmen: what are you referring to?
[03:19] <Senor> i understand, i was trying to install 14. but i heard 16.04 is better. is this true?
[03:19] <Senor> and where do i download it?
[03:19] <daftykins> not better, it just uses a newer kernel so it will help
[03:20] <hil> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
[03:20] <lnxmen> I just don't have any idea what would go wrong.
[03:20] <Senor> you're still here!?!? dafty, the ubuntu website doesn't have 16.04. it only goes to 15.
[03:20] <k1l> Senor: 16.04 is still in development. so things will break. and you will need to take care of that yourself
[03:21] <k1l> !16.04 | Senor
[03:23] <daftykins> Senor: see the topic over in #ubuntu+1 - note i said daily image, too
[03:23] <daftykins> yeah i'm really leaving now! honest!
[03:23] <daftykins> \o
[03:23] <Senor> ok thank yo
[03:23] <Senor> you*
[03:26] <FjordPrefect> Do any of you use wajig? How does it compare to apt-get?
[03:26] <R13ose> Back
[03:26] <Senor> i'm going to try 15.10 first.
[03:26] <R13ose> Same issue with this package
[03:29] <Volund> So I'm pondering setting up my Ubuntu as a SAMBA server but I want to use my two 4tb drives as mirrors of each other. I've been told ZFS may be a better solution than LVM mirroring, but ZFS isn't natively in Ubuntu 15 but IS in 16, I hear. though I've heard that I can install it on 15, not sure. Can someone clear this up? I'm on ubuntu 15 at the moment. Not averse to using 16 beta mind you, but.... *peer*
[03:35] <xJeremyCx> hey guys, how do I fix the bad sectors on my windows partition?
[03:35] <xJeremyCx> I ran sudo badblocks -b 512 -svn /dev/sda3 -o '/home/jeremy/Desktop/badblocks.txt'
[03:36] <xJeremyCx> after that, I ran sudo e2fsck -l '/home/jeremy/Desktop/badblocks.txt' /dev/sda3 but it said ext2fs_open2: Bad magic number in super-block
[03:41] <uupz> Hello, my Ovilus III kernel won't boot up with the current boot manager.  I installed wyrm WM on the platform but I dont think it installed properly.  Now whenever I boot into operating mode, it asks for my username/login, but the kernel's uid is different each time.  Does anyone know how I can boot up properly so that the SDK will load properly?
[03:44] <catbeard> Xjs|moonshine: do you know the # of the backup superblocks?
[03:44] <catbeard> bah he left
[03:51] <R13ose> I am getting this error when I try to run startx from command line: xinit: connection to x server lost.  Any thoughts?
[03:54] <Bashing-om> R13ose: xorg ? What returns ' dpkg -l xorg ' ?
[03:58] <Senor> wow, i dont know why i just didn't use 15.04 instead of 14.04. it's installing on first try with no problems.
[03:58] <R13ose> Bashing-om: no packages found matching xorg
[03:59] <xangua> Senor: 15.04 is no longer supported
[04:00] <Bashing-om> R13ose: No xorg, no GUI ... as simple as that . How about a re-install with out encryption ? I do not know encryption and in that case I am of little help .
[04:02] <Bashing-om> !minimal | R13ose
[04:03] <R13ose> Bashing-om: yes but I did install Ubuntu Desktop afterwards
[04:05] <Bashing-om> r13  Still have to have xorg ...in terminal run ' apt-cache show xorg ' for a description of what xorg is and what it does .
[04:06] <R13ose> Bashing-om: I know what this does.  Can I install this from terminal?
[04:11] <user_> hellow guys
[04:11] <user_> does someone know how to fix the fps problem on dota2?
[04:11] <user_> Using Ubuntu 15.1
[04:12] <Bashing-om> R13ose: Yes, but I do not know if installing now after installing a desktop if all the right connections will be made, one cn try and see what resylts . ' sudo apt install xorg ' .
[04:13] <R13ose> Bashing-om: I just did that
[04:13] <MiniFridge> Thank you for your help. Goodnight.
[04:14] <Bashing-om> R13ose: still in terminal ? 14.04 ? then terminal command ' sudo service lightdm start ' .
[04:15] <Senor> how to i install proprietary nvidia drivers on ubuntu?
[04:15] <Senor> can i just go to the website and download?
[04:15] <Senor> <new to ubuntu
[04:16] <Bashing-om> Senor: On a fresh clean install run ' sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' .
[04:17] <Senor> okay, i'll do that after this huge software updater install.
[04:17] <R13ose> Bashing-om: when I tried to do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, there were installments needed.  Should I do them?
[04:17] <Bashing-om> Senor: k .
[04:18] <Senor> typically, with ubuntu, i'm assuming everything is done through the terminal. correct?
[04:18] <Bashing-om> R13ose: There will be a LOT of files that will be required . so yeah ..if you want unity as the desktop envioronment .. go ahead .
[04:20] <Bashing-om> Senor: Not really .. the terminal is a common denominator across all distributions and all releases . GUIs differ, the terminal does not .
[04:21] <Senor> i have a good question, now that i'm using ubuntu my keyboard is no longer illuminated. is it because my drivers aren't installed?
[04:21] <Thorax2015> How do i fix missing icons on Cinnamon?
[04:22] <Bashing-om> Senor: welllll .. or maybe a suitable driver for the particular keyboard is not available ???
[04:22] <R13ose> Bashing-om: I am install that package and then will see what happens
[04:22] <Bashing-om> R13ose: Nothing wrong with trying ..:)
[04:32] <paul_1515> Thorax2015 you install the package gnome-icon-theme
[04:33] <Senor> when i type "sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" in the terminal, it asked for a password. the keyboard doesn't let me type anything. is that normal?
[04:33] <Senor> nm, i got it working. the password is invisible. haha
[04:34] <davido> That's normal behavior for sudo
[04:34] <Bashing-om> Senor: enter password blindly and hit the enter key . no repsonse to the screen in linux .. a security thing .
[04:34] <davido> so that people cant watch over your shoulder and learn it.
[04:34] <Senor> bashing, so i'm updating my drivers in the terminal. anything else you suggest doing? this is my first ubuntu install.
[04:36] <Bashing-om> Senor: Nope, update fully, and drivers installed ... use the system and see what you lack ... and fill in the gaps .
[04:36] <Senor> how do i see what i lack?
[04:36] <Senor> just by using it?
[04:39] <Bashing-om> Senor: The default install of a 'buntu comes bundled with a bunch of apps .. there are 30,000 packages in our repo available to fill these gaps for how and what you use your system for .. then there  thousands of enterprising programmers adding to that list .
[04:39] <Thorax2015> paul_1515:  Is that just gnome-icon-theme-full?
[04:43] <Thorax2015> paul_1515:  Didnt even need to install anything, just go to theme setting and they are aready there
[04:43] <paul_1515> yeah that is the one, huh
[04:44] <c_nick> on123
[04:47] <Bashing-om> R13ose: Hangin in here ? Hoz it going ?
[04:47] <Senor> i'm trying to install steam on ubuntu. I installed and go to click the icon on the desktop. nothing happens after that.
[04:47] <Bashing-om> Senor: Not a gamer .. but ... did you install steam from our repository ?
[04:48] <Senor> respository would be the terminal. correct?
[04:49] <Bashing-om> Senor: Tere are a few ways to install .. prefered from repo ' sudo apt install steam ' ... is that what you did ?
[04:49] <Senor> no
[04:49] <Bashing-om> there*
[04:49] <Senor> i used the software manager
[04:50] <Bashing-om> Senor: That should have had the same effect .
[04:51] <Senor> yea, steam isn't working.
[04:51] <Senor> i just installed it through the terminal
[04:53] <Bashing-om> Senor: Let's see what the package manager things of the steam install .. ' dpkg -l | grep steam | nc termbin.com 9999 ' and pass the resulting URL back here for us to see that output .
[04:55] <noobstrap> Hi all. What terminal emulator do you guys use?
[04:55] <Senor> hey
[04:55] <Senor> sry, got disconnected.
[04:55] <Senor> what was that again?
[04:57] <Bashing-om> Senor: "  Senor: Let's see what the package manager thinks of the steam install .. ' dpkg -l | grep steam | nc termbin.com 9999 ' and pass the resulting URL back here for us to see that output . " .
[04:58] <Senor> i type that into the terminal?
[04:59] <Bashing-om> Senor: Affirmative .. a termial command / relay .
[05:00] <Senor> haha. where is that weird sign on the keyboard?
[05:00] <Senor> the squiggle
[05:00] <SahibPrime> Senor: Did you ever fix the problem?
[05:01] <Senor> sahib!
[05:01] <Senor> i'm on ubuntu
[05:01] <Senor> i used 15.04
[05:01] <Senor> and it worked
[05:01] <Bashing-om> Senor: On a US ascii qwerty board it is above the enter key as an upper case \ key .
[05:01] <elzi> q
[05:02] <Bashing-om> Senor: Ouch! We are beating a dead horse ! 15.04 is end-of-life and has no support and the software repository has been turned down ! Re-Install 15.10 !
[05:03] <Senor> hey, after the dpkg - i can't make that next symbol.
[05:03] <Senor> i can't find it on the keyboard. lol
[05:03] <Senor> man, i thought i was good with computers until i met you guys... :)
[05:04] <Senor> http://termbin.com/y6ox
[05:05] <Senor> i just copy/pasted.
[05:05] <Senor> i don't know why i didn't do that to begin with.
[05:06] <Bashing-om> Senor: Thar is a lower case ell (Ll) .. but there is no support for 15.04 ! qwerty keyboard the pipe symbol ( | ) is above the enter key .
[05:07] <Senor> did you click the link i sent?
[05:07] <Bashing-om> Senor: Look'n at it now .
[05:07] <Senor> oh ok sry
[05:07] <Senor> i dont have 15.04. i meant i have 15.10
[05:08] <Senor> it was a typo on my end. sry
[05:09] <Bashing-om> Senor: K; show ' lsb_release -a | nc termbin.com 9999 ' .
[05:10] <Senor> http://termbin.com/yj9u
[05:13] <Bashing-om> Senor: Wellm steam appears to be fully installed on release 15.10 wily .. At this time all I know to si u=is check that over all the package manager is in a consistent state - that nothing is missing - . do terminal commands ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo apt-get -f install ; sudo dpkg -C ' . advise if any errors are reported .
[05:13] <Senor> k
[05:14] <Senor> bashing, also the system settings icon isn't working either.
[05:15] <Bashing-om> Senor: Not only am I not a gamer .. I am not real hot on diagnosing GUI issues .. I have not used unity in ages .
[05:16] <Senor> what do you use?
[05:16] <Senor> windows? :)
[05:17] <Bashing-om> Senor: Mostly terminal . IF I must have a GUI I have xfce .. very light and fast .
[05:17] <Senor> i did the terminal commands and received no errors.
[05:17] <Senor> how do you surf the web without a GUI?
[05:18] <Senor> just curious.
[05:18] <SahibPrime> Senor: links
[05:18] <SahibPrime> Senor: sudo apt-get install inks
[05:18] <SahibPrime> Senor: It's a web-browser, for text-only systems.
[05:18] <Senor> wow
[05:19] <Bashing-om> Senor: Over all that is a great thing .. no errors is great :) .. Regret I am at a loss on steam or the GUI issue .. others will have to take up my slack .
[05:20] <Senor> bashing, you're still a great help. i learned a lot already from you.
[05:21] <Senor> bashing, so terminal is your OS?
[05:27] <Bashing-om> Senor: No ... there are several of us on this channel that have little use for a GUI, a minority - me I am but a puppy .. I run ubuntu 14.04 from a core install of the kernel and build my own operating system .
[05:28] <Senor> very impressive

[05:31] <Senor> hahah
[05:31] <elzi> hahaha sorry,,,

[05:31] <elzi> when place for ask bro... please help me,,,
[05:31] <Bashing-om> elzi: 16.04 is not supported yet in this channel .. for 16.04 issues join #ubuntu+1 .

[05:35] <Raku> Im installing xubuntu right now, I have three HDDs, 1 1tb and 2 500gb ones, can I set up raid0 with the two 500gb ones during the installation?
[05:36] <Bashing-om> Raku: Yeah, but the default install of a desktop does not have the tools to cope with raid . will have to be installed .
[05:36] <Raku> Is there instructions for this process somewhere?

[05:38] <elzi> how to update via terminal... i want to update kerne l to 4.4
[05:42] <Raku> Bashing-om: it's saying I need the alternate install disc, where can I get that ISO?
[05:43] <Bashing-om> Raku: ' sudo apt install dmraid ' .
[05:44] <Raku>  Do I do this from the live installation?
[05:44] <Raku> I don't have Ubuntu installed yet
[05:45] <Bashing-om> Raku: Yeah ,, one can ,, if ya want to set up raid prior to install of the OS . ( because raid tools are not installed on the desktop installer ) .
[05:46] <Raku> Ya, and the wiki you linked says to get those tools I need an alternate install, where could I get that?
[05:46] <Raku> The plan is to have home on one HDD, and then partition of the rest on the second raid0
[05:47] <Bashing-om> Raku: Just be aware that the install of dmraid will not persist a reboot in the live environment ( there is liveUSB with persistence ) .
[05:48] <Raku> I'm aware
[05:48] <mjrosenb> I'm getting an issue where linux-generic can't install because linux-image-generic and linux-headers-generic is too new.
[05:48] <Raku> How can I get it to install it as part of the desktop install
[05:49] <Bashing-om> Raku: install the tools, set up raid array 1st .. then tell the installer what to do .
[05:49] <Raku> And then when I boot?
[05:50] <MannyLNJ> I think I got my Samba share working. How can I "map" it to a folder on another Ubuntu system so no matter what system I download from all downloads go in the same place?
[05:50] <Bashing-om> Raku: Where how you install grub ( bootloader) depends on the raid level . others here can better advise further .

[05:59] <Anthony-L> hi, it's me Senor
[05:59] <Anthony-L> i can't boot into ubuntu anymore.
[05:59] <Anthony-L> my gpu hates linux.
[06:00] <jayjo> my system clock has drifted significantly on an amazon ec2 instance. How can I investigate why this happened
[06:00] <jayjo> ?
[06:02] <MannyLNJ> Simple question ( I hope) what is the correct syntax from 192.168.1.105 to connect to the following SMB share on 192.168.1.104 /home/SetTopBox/Media
[06:11] <Anthony-L> so i've been on the linux craze for a couple days now, it seems very unorganized.
[06:12] <reisio> Anthony-L: unlike... what things? :p
[06:12]  * reisio looks around the world and sees only that
[06:12] <Anthony-L> it just seems so unstable
[06:12] <reisio> you might be confusing Ubuntu, which is based off Debian unstable
[06:13] <reisio> with "Linux" in general
[06:13] <reisio> although if you're comparing Ubuntu to Mac OS or Windows, it's hard to imagine you actually find it less stable
[06:13]  * reisio shrugs
[06:13] <Anthony-L> i've been playing with it all day and 8 hours later finally got to the desktop. then come to find out, i go to install some programs and they don't install correctly when it says it's meant for linux.
[06:13] <reisio> oh okay, so you're still installing
[06:13] <hil> what exactly does 'seems unstable' mean? is it stable or not?
[06:13] <cspack> MannyLNJ:  smb://ipaddress/sharename
[06:14] <reisio> you're probably comparing installing and configuring "Linux" vs Windows or Mac OS... which you did not install or configure yourself (came preinstalled)
[06:14] <reisio> this is a trap lots of people fall into :)
[06:14] <reisio> hil: ^
[06:14] <MannyLNJ> cspack, I tried that it will let me see it but then Transmission won't let me use that as a destination to save things from
[06:14] <Anthony-L> i know it's just my own frustration because i'm basically trying to get the windows feel out of linux. I have a a gaming pc and i understand that it's a big no no with linux.
[06:14] <reisio> Anthony-L: gaming? Not at all
[06:14] <reisio> Unix people like games, too
[06:15] <reisio> a lot of win32 games even perform better via Wine than via Windows :p
[06:15] <reisio> cross platform games always have lower hardware reqs for Unix systems, too
[06:15] <reisio> one might presume because the software is more efficient
[06:15] <Anthony-L> reisio: i've been messing with my pc all day. i installed linux, but now i can't even get back into the desktop without my gpu being difficult.
[06:15] <reisio> Anthony-L: okay, this is just installation stuff :) pick a problem and we can get it sorted
[06:16] <Anthony-L> ok lets start...
[06:16] <reisio> although there's a sandwich in my near future, but if not me someone else can help you
[06:16] <reisio> :D
[06:16] <hil> sanfwich sounds sexy
[06:16] <hil> sanddddd
[06:17] <Anthony-L> so, i install ubuntu 15.10, i went to the desktop and installed all the goods via the terminal. i take a restart and figure, hey lets do a restart. i restart and get to the grub screen, all i get is blank purple screen every time now.
[06:17] <Anthony-L> now errors or anything.
[06:17] <reisio> hil: so, so sexy
[06:17] <cspack> MannyLNJ: you are trying to get transmission to do what?
[06:17] <reisio> Anthony-L: what'd you install, exactly?
[06:18] <reisio> MannyLNJ: be µTorrent? Try Deluge instead :p
[06:18] <Anthony-L> all the drivers that another person in here told me
[06:18] <Anthony-L> throught the terminal, he gave me an sudo update command.
[06:18] <Anthony-L> i don't remember it.
[06:18] <Anthony-L> through*
[06:18] <hil> AMD Radeon?
[06:19] <Anthony-L> nvidia gtx 970
[06:19] <hil>  hrm
[06:19] <MannyLNJ> cspack, on 192.168.1.104 I have a shared folder for video to play from a Windows 8 system., The shared folder is on a headless laptop in my basement. i want to be able to use my Laptop with Ubuntu to download video using torrents to that shared folder
[06:20] <reisio> Anthony-L: what's this say?: sudo lspci -k | egrep -i 'vga|driver' | head -2
[06:20] <Anthony-L> i can't get to the desktop reisio.
[06:21] <Anthony-L> i'm currently at the grub menu.
[06:21] <cspack> MannyLNJ: why not just copy the files after they are downloaded or just run transmission from the 192.168.1.104 machine?
[06:21] <Anthony-L> that's as far as i get now.
[06:21] <reisio> Anthony-L: you can't get past grub?
[06:21] <Anthony-L> nope. i did one time. it seems hit and miss.
[06:21] <Anthony-L> hit or miss*
[06:21] <reisio> Anthony-L: you don't get to the purple screen reliably?
[06:22] <Anthony-L> blank purple screen happens after i push enter on the grub menu
[06:22] <MannyLNJ> cspack, I don't know how to download w/o a GUI (web browser) and I can only access 192.168.1.104 via SSH. I've failed at my attemnots to do a remote desktop
[06:23] <reisio> Anthony-L: okay, then you're most likely getting past grub, min...
[06:23] <Anthony-L> yea, but it hangs on the purple screen of death. :)
[06:23] <reisio> Anthony-L: at the grub screen, edit your primary line (e?) and put ' nomodeset' at the end of the line that starts with 'linux'
[06:24] <reisio> and then boot that
[06:24] <Anthony-L> tried that, nothing.
[06:24] <reisio> no change?
[06:24] <Anthony-L> nope
[06:24] <cspack> MannyLNJ: you could use scp to copy the files, it will use an ssh connection
[06:24] <reisio> Anthony-L: okay, you may as well boot up your install image again, then, just to fix it ('Try Ubuntu')
[06:25] <Anthony-L> install ubuntu again?
[06:25] <reisio> Anthony-L: no...
[06:25] <reisio> but you can fix it from the same live OS used for installatino
[06:25] <reisio> installation*
[06:27] <MannyLNJ> cspack, You are right I could look into using SCP to copy via a CRON task. I found a CLI that should have worked for the share but I'm getting mount: block device //192.168.1.104/SetTopBox is write-protected, mounting read-only so I don't know if it's permission in smb.conf or the folder permissions causing the issue
[06:27] <Anthony-L> i'm back at grub menu.
[06:27] <Anthony-L> what to do?
[06:28] <reisio> Anthony-L: you just want to boot up the image you installed from, but hit 'Try Ubuntu' instead of Install
[06:28] <Anthony-L> o ok
[06:28] <cspack> MannyLNJ: also if you use something like Deluge you can run the daemon headless on your file server and have the GUI on your ubuntu laptop
[06:28] <Anthony-L> let me try
[06:28] <reisio> Anthony-L: then we can fix it more straightforwardly
[06:29] <cspack> MannyLNJ: I don't know transmission so I'm not sure if it can do the same
[06:31] <Anthony-L> reisio: i'm trying ubuntu
[06:31] <reisio> Anthony-L: k, say when you're at the desktop
[06:32] <Phreya> hey guys, how can I hold my kernel package so it won't be upgraded via apt-get upgrade/dist-upgrade?
[06:33] <Phreya> I have an old X40 which requiers me to use non-pae kernel, so upgrading into new one cannot be done
[06:33] <Anthony-L> just got black screen reisio
[06:33] <reisio> Phreya: I believe that's called "pinning" (apt pinning)
[06:33] <reisio> Anthony-L: like for how long?
[06:33] <MannyLNJ> cspack, What would allow me to create a file entry but not write any data to it? Example nano <filename> makes a file called filename but I can't save anything into it
[06:34] <cspack> MannyLNJ: you probably need write permissions on your directory where filename resides
[06:35] <reisio> MannyLNJ: don't cross post
[06:35] <albe> hi guys
[06:35] <MannyLNJ> cspack, the permissions are drwxrwxrwx   2 root root    0 Mar  6 01:32 SetTopBox
[06:36] <reisio> hi albe
[06:36] <cspack> MannyLNJ: are you writing to a samba share or locally?
[06:38] <albe> this is the first time i m using irc
[06:38] <MannyLNJ> cspack, I *think* it's a mounted share. I made /media/SetTopBox with the mk  command then I did sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.104/SetTopBox -o username=SetTopBox,password=<password for SetTopBox /media/SetTopBox/  It didn't give me any errors
[06:38] <reisio> congrats
[06:38] <albe> what can i do here?
[06:38] <Anthony-L> a long time
[06:38] <Anthony-L> reisio: it's still black :(
[06:39] <Anthony-L> my gpu no likey linux. haha
[06:39] <cspack> MannyLNJ: is the share set up with writable=yes?
[06:40] <MannyLNJ> cspack, in smb.conf I think so let me check
[06:40] <hicoleri> When I try to start geany, it says: "Attempt to unlock mutex that was not locked" what should I do?
[06:41] <MannyLNJ> cspack, It says read only = no but no entry for writable
[06:42] <Anthony-L> i'm about to throw up the white flag
[06:43] <Phreya> reisio: thank you, apt-get hold PACKAGENAME worked for me :) (it's the other way around)
[06:43] <Phreya> apt-mark*
[06:43] <Volund> there we gooooo
[06:43] <Madkins> Hey all, anyone have any ideas on how to get ubnutu server on an old mac pro?
[06:44] <Anthony-L> yea, dont do it.
[06:44] <cspack> MannyLNJ: ok that should be fine. you might need to specify permissions in your cifs mount command
[06:44] <nik> anybody home
[06:45] <reisio> Phreya: what's the other way 'round?
[06:45] <cspack> MannyLNJ: or just make the share public in smb.conf
[06:46] <reisio> Anthony-L: well, to be fair, whatever driver some random person had you install makes your gpu no likey linux
[06:46] <Phreya> reisio: I wanted to hold MY package rather then marking a future package to a skip mode
[06:46] <reisio> Anthony-L: you should be able to set nomodeset from the live OS menu, too
[06:46] <nik> hi i want to know what will happen if i type command init 2
[06:46] <Phreya> but it was good enough
[06:46] <reisio> Phreya: ah, gj
[06:46] <nik> init --help
[06:46] <nik> init [OPTIONS...] {COMMAND}
[06:46] <nik> Send control commands to the init daemon.
[06:46] <nik>      --help      Show this help
[06:46] <nik>      --no-wall   Don't send wall message before halt/power-off/reboot
[06:46] <nik> Commands:
[06:47] <reisio> nik: on something only you're relying on? Nothing terrible, try it
[06:47] <Anthony-L> reisio: it was like this even pre ubuntu install
[06:47] <Anthony-L> before i even installed drivers it was unstable
[06:47] <Anthony-L> now it wont even fresh install ubuntu
[06:48] <Anthony-L> going to try 'nomodeset'
[06:48] <reisio> Anthony-L: sounds more like a hardware problem, then
[06:48] <reisio> :/
[06:48] <Anthony-L> gpu obviously
[06:48] <Anthony-L> is there a way to wipe my bios?
[06:49] <Madkins> well if this isn't going to run linux I guess i'll take it back
[06:50] <reisio> Anthony-L: wha?
[06:50] <Anthony-L> reisio: what kind of computer do you have?
[06:50] <Anthony-L> like what's your setup?
[06:50] <Phreya> wipy bios? :O I woudln't do that honestly
[06:50] <reisio> I find computers that have the hardware I want, and then buy the cheapest one I can find
[06:51] <reisio> I've had desktops & laptops, with any of intel/amd/nvidia graphics, no issues :D
[06:51] <Anthony-L> reisio: what do you use a computer for?
[06:51] <reisio> cheap ftw
[06:51] <reisio> mmm, all sorts of things
[06:51] <reisio> web developer, I get into all sorts of nonsense
[06:51] <Anthony-L> do you game?
[06:51] <reisio> I don't game much, but I've killed a month here and there on some since high school
[06:52] <Phreya> do you program?
[06:52] <reisio> the first 3d fallout
[06:52] <reisio> and, couple other things
[06:52] <Phreya> how old are you? :O
[06:52] <reisio> so old man
[06:52] <Anthony-L> i wish my mobo had integrated gpu, then i'd just test it to see if it's my nvidia card
[06:52] <reisio> gonna die real soon
[06:52] <reisio> Anthony-L: it probably does...
[06:52] <Anthony-L> hhahah the first fallout
[06:52] <reisio> the first 3d fallout
[06:53] <reisio> the first one after the company changed
[06:53] <reisio> what, 2 fallouts ago?
[06:53] <Anthony-L> what about morrowind?
[06:53] <reisio> the very first owned, though, and the 2nd
[06:53] <reisio> not played morrowind, nope
[06:53] <Phreya> I played the last one. It took me like 2 days to finish it
[06:54] <reisio> :/
[06:54] <Anthony-L> my mobo doesn't have integrated gpu.
[06:54] <reisio> I played limbo on GNU/Linux
[06:54] <reisio> lovely game, too short
[06:54]  * reisio re-checks on 'Inside'
[06:54] <reisio> Anthony-L: very odd
[06:55] <Anthony-L> i have a m5a99fx pro
[06:55] <reisio> Anthony-L: anyway, if you did a normal install, it's supported (but obviously if you can't reliably do the same things, there's a problem with your hardware most likely)
[06:55] <Anthony-L> yea, i agree reisio. it has to be hardward related.
[06:55] <Phreya> I have a X40 IBM ThinkPad, that has a non-pae cpu with 1ghz, 1gb of ram
[06:56] <reisio> Anthony-L: ooohhhh, asus?
[06:56] <Phreya> and guess what... linux runs GREAT on it
[06:56] <Phreya> honestly it feels like a new machine when browswing and doing casual stuff.
[06:56] <Anthony-L> yes
[06:56] <reisio> Anthony-L: you dual booting?
[06:56] <Anthony-L> no
[06:57] <Anthony-L> i want to solo run linux. the whole point of this is to boycott micrsoft. :)
[06:57] <reisio> Anthony-L: you might go into your bios prefs and find the s/ata stuff, and change it from whatever it is to something else
[06:58] <Anthony-L> i don't see any s/ata
[06:58] <Anthony-L> i see sata though
[06:58] <Anthony-L> is that the same thing?
[06:59] <reisio> "s/ata" is just my lazy way of saying 'sata or ata'
[06:59] <reisio> so yes, sata, good
[06:59] <reisio> what's it set to?
[06:59] <reisio> and what can it be set to instead?
[06:59] <Anthony-L> onchip sata channel enabled
[06:59] <reisio> oh is that all?
[06:59] <Anthony-L> sata port 1 - port 4 AHCI
[07:00] <Anthony-L> sata port 5 - esata AHCI
[07:00] <Anthony-L> S.M.A.R.T. status check enabled
[07:00] <reisio> so you can only enable/disable, nothing else?
[07:00] <reisio> only interested in sata things
[07:00] <Anthony-L> all the SATA ESP Ports are disabled except for one.
[07:01] <reisio> nothing that mentions a 'mode' or 'legacy', etc.?
[07:01] <Anthony-L> the usb config does
[07:01] <reisio> mmm, yeah don't think that will help
[07:02] <reisio> is there another, 'Advanced' section in the bios prefs?
[07:02] <Anthony-L> in advanced theres....
[07:03] <hicoleri> (i'll ask again) geany says: "Attempt to unlock mutex that was not locked" when I try to start it. What should I do?
[07:03] <Anthony-L> cpu config, north bridge, south bridge, sata config, usb config, cpu core on/off fucntion, onboard devices config, apm, and network stack
[07:04] <y0r94rd14n4n93l> .
[07:07] <Xeon> who can play O.A.D
[07:08] <reisio> Anthony-L: yup, sata
[07:09] <Anthony-L> we already went through all the sata options in there.
[07:10] <reisio> oh okay
[07:10] <Anthony-L> My mobo is mean to run two gpus
[07:10] <Anthony-L> meant*
[07:11] <Anthony-L> i only have one though.
[07:11] <Anthony-L> i'm just saying, i know we're not talking about that anymore.
[07:13] <Anthony-L> hey, reiso
[07:13] <reisio> ?
[07:13] <Anthony-L> what about security boot parameters?
[07:14] <reisio> I wouldn't think so
[07:14] <Anthony-L> it shows OS Type, windows 8 UEFI or other Legacy & UEFI
[07:14] <reisio> no particular harm poking about, I s'pose
[07:14] <Anthony-L> it set to 'other legacy'
[07:14] <reisio> I wouldn't think that'd help, but no harm trying legacy
[07:16] <Anthony-L> this sucks.
[07:18] <Anthony-L> i'm about to just install windows again. :(
[07:18] <Anthony-L> sad day
[07:18] <reisio> Anthony-L: I'd be curious if https://www.system-rescue-cd.org/ booted reliably
[07:18] <reisio> with the 'no kms' option
[07:21] <Anthony-L> i dont see the no kms option
[07:23] <nomic> i put a new sd card (micro) into an ubuntu pc , with adapter, it should show up in nautilus or somewhere
[07:23] <reisio> Anthony-L: be, item 5 or 6 'with more options'
[07:23] <kill> usa BuDuScRiPt [ http://digilander.libero.it/udasoft/Software/Linux/buduscript ]
[07:23] <kill> Version 3.7.86
[07:23] <kill> By  U D A ' S o f t w a r e
[07:23] <reisio> Anthony-L: then on the 2nd screen
[07:23] <nomic> ok IT WASN'T COMPLETELIY INSERTERD
[07:23] <nomic> (retries
[07:25] <Anthony-L> reisio, just give me the link of the download please.
[07:26] <reisio> Anthony-L: http://is.gd/akaver
[07:28] <Anthony-L> reisio! i'm in the desktop.
[07:28] <Anthony-L> what should i do?
[07:28] <Anthony-L> i didn't download the rescue though.
[07:29] <Anthony-L> i'm installing ubuntu again.
[07:29] <reisio> that's... one way to get back to where you were before you installed those things that person told you to install
[07:30] <Anthony-L> ok, reisio, lets do a fresh install and start from there.
[07:31] <Anthony-L> i'll listen to what you want me to install.
[07:31] <Anthony-L> i just find it really weird that the desktop comes up, hit or miss, like i said.
[07:35] <reisio> that's less weird to me than
[07:35] <reisio> that the live OS comes up hit or miss
[07:48] <Anthony-L> ok...
[07:52] <Anthony-L> reiso?
[07:52] <Anthony-L> i'm on the desktop. :)
[07:52] <Anthony-L> what's the first step?
[07:53] <Anthony-L> and i lost my buddy...haha
[07:53] <mazoon_> \j #blender-dev
[07:54] <Anthony-L> ?
[07:54] <salut23111> hi!
[07:54] <Anthony-L> hi
[07:55] <salut23111> how are u?
[07:55] <Anthony-L> frustrated
[07:55] <salut23111> why?
[07:56] <Anthony-L> i want ubuntu to work, but it doesn't like me
[07:56] <salut23111> hm
[07:56] <salut23111> like me
[07:57] <Anthony-L> you're having trouble also?
[07:57] <salut23111> yep
[07:57] <Anthony-L> what a coincidence
[07:58] <Anthony-L> i've been messing around with it all day. i'm about to throw in the towel and just load windows again.
[07:58] <salut23111> i dont know why
[07:58] <salut23111> dos...
[08:00] <Hayettin> Hello
[08:00] <Anthony-L> hi
[08:01] <Hayettin> is it possible to make an ubuntu persistent usb stick with truecrypt, veracrypt or LUKS encryption
[08:01] <Hayettin> on boot would be very nice
[08:02] <Hayettin> i mean on boot encryption
[08:02] <salut23111> hm
[08:04] <Hayettin> Is it possible?
[08:05] <salut23111> no
[08:06] <Hayettin> so what is possible?
[08:06] <Hayettin> and why not salut23111
[08:06] <Hayettin> i mean wich part is not possible
[08:06] <kaveh> hi. How to terminate cpp program with itself
[08:06] <kaveh> ?
[08:07] <nomic> sudo dd bs=4M if=OS.img of=/dev/sddestination  <- that has gone away and is not returning to prompt ..is writing the image right?  how can I tell if it's writing (and not hung)
[08:07] <nomic> that was the command I was shown to write an OS image to SD card
[08:07] <nomic> ok
[08:07] <nomic> it says
[08:08] <nomic> 4029677568 bytes (4.0 GB) copied, 433.437 s, 9.3 MB/s
[08:09] <craptalk> how can i see the copying process while i am copying something in terminal>
[08:09] <craptalk> should i use -i?
[08:12] <salut23111> exit
[08:12] <ComputerHipster> how can you connect to the remote desktop of another linux box ? from ubuntu
[08:13] <ComputerHipster> cna't form windows due to security lacking in TightVNC
[08:14] <stark_> test
[08:14] <stark_> hello
[08:14] <ComputerHipster> yello
[08:14] <stark_> first time use ubuntu mate
[08:14] <salut23111> tryin to burn bootable iso image in ubuntu..
[08:14] <salut23111> no rufus?
[08:14] <stark_> anyone know how to share folder/file via lan? in umate course
[08:14] <cspack> craptalk: you can use -v it will show you what files it's copying but you won't get a progress bar or anything like that
[08:14] <ComputerHipster> samba
[08:15] <stark_> I had used rufus on windows to burn iso
[08:15] <stark_> samba?
[08:15] <cpp_shill> kaveh: if you mean from within the program, then you can use exit() if you include <cstdlib>
[08:15] <Hayettin> anyone know how i can use ubuntu in persisten mode with encryption
[08:16] <stark_> is any web that can give me samba tutorial from first?
[08:16] <craptalk> cspack: so there is no option to do that?
[08:17] <stark_> i already install it on kali 2.0, but it seems not work
[08:17] <stark_> craptalk : i think i have read about it, you can check n raspberrypi.org
[08:18] <stark_> craptalk : maybe it's a same way to do
[08:18] <craptalk> stark_: i am reading its manual, it seems i can only put -v (verbose)
[08:19] <stark_> i don't think there are rufus for linux out there
[08:20] <salut23111> hmk
[08:20] <salut23111> linux is a hard path
[08:21] <stark_> agree.
[08:21] <stark_> but it's have a beautiful terminal :))
[08:21] <salut23111> :)
[08:22] <Anthony-L> reisio!
[08:22] <Anthony-L> i'm at the desktop.
[08:22] <salut23111> True
[08:23] <stark_> what is the crucial different between ubuntu mate and ubuntu linux?
[08:23] <stark_> beside the GUI
[08:25] <reisio> stark_: that is the only difference...
[08:25] <stark_> the GUI?
[08:25] <reisio> MATE is a particular DE, yes
[08:26] <reisio> nothing differs between Ubuntu with MATE and Ubuntu without MATE except for the former has, presumably, MATE preinstalled
[08:26] <reisio> Anthony-L: cool cool
[08:26] <salut23111> whats the best app to burn iso image on usb with ubuntu?
[08:26] <salut23111> or the less worst
[08:26] <reisio> salut23111: image of what?
[08:27] <salut23111> distro
[08:27] <salut23111> iso file
[08:27] <reisio> I'd probably use 'dd', but you have to be careful
[08:27] <stark_> i never find the app, just terminal to burn iso from linux
[08:28] <reisio> not really "burning" when it's to USB
[08:28] <stark_> but, maybe there are someone finnaly made it.. maybe
[08:28] <salut23111> :)
[08:28] <Hayettin> can nobody help me how to encrypt an ubuntu persistent stick?
[08:28] <reisio> not really burning to CD/DVD/BD, for that matter :p although the word is more apt there, still
[08:28] <reisio> Hayettin: could use encfs in a pinch
[08:28] <stark_> Hayettin : sorry, but i don't know how

[08:33] <salut23111> and i already know the answer

[08:34] <stark_> hello galaxon
[08:34] <salut23111> because i don't expect to be right
[08:35] <stark_> what question?
[08:35] <somsip> salut23111: just ask the question

[08:43] <ouroumov> It's really easy to break the system.
[08:43] <stark_> really?
[08:43] <ouroumov> Yes, just a typo in a command and bam, gotta reinstall.
[08:43] <stark_> seems like better not do that frequently

[09:36] <Dorfen> Hi guys! I've just caught a virus and am about to start over. I'm wondering if it would be stupid to just go 16.04 now? Would i experience many issues in the last month?
[09:37] <cfhowlett> Dorfen, let's see: install a beta release?  sure.  no problem at all
[09:37] <cfhowlett> Dorfen, or ... wait until it's ready, eh?
[09:39] <Dorfen> Well, running 15.04 beta back then gave very little, if no issues!
[09:39] <Dorfen> So unless you have experience with the 16.04 beta, I don't see how that is helpful.
[09:39] <cfhowlett> Dorfen, so why ask?  your machine, your choice.  note: until release, 16. 04 is not officially supported
[09:41] <Flannel> Dorfen: You'd be better off asking in #ubuntu+1, the people there have experience with it.
[09:42] <Dorfen> There could be someone in here who's running it and have some experiences to draw from, other than the fact that it's a beta.
[09:42] <Dorfen> Flannel: Thank you, did not know that one! :)
[09:43] <Flannel> Dorfen: yes, but that discussion (about Xenial) would be offtopic for this channel (it's on-topic for #ubuntu+1)
[09:43] <Flannel> Dorfen: Sounds good :)

[10:29] <cfhowlett> #coding?  #programming?

[10:34] <abhinav> hi
[10:35] <abhinav> I have corrupted my dependencies completely. Can't even run apt-get install
[10:35] <abhinav> What to do ?
[10:35] <Mrokii> Hello. I want to enable a remote ssh-connection from Android to Ubuntu, so that I can log into my local computer, preferably with my already-existing useraccount on Ubuntu. Can somebody give me a hint for a tutorial on how to configure the ssh-server on Ubuntu?
[10:36] <popey> Mrokii: install openssh-server, that's about it
[10:36] <popey> abhinav: what version of ubuntu?
[10:36] <abhinav> 14.04
[10:37] <popey> abhinav: can you paste to paste.ubuntu.com the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list and the output of "sudo apt-get update" please?
[10:37] <linuxlove> thanks guys
[10:37] <linuxlove> bbye
[10:37] <abhinav> yeah okay
[10:37] <abhinav> Thanks
[10:37] <pantato> Mrokii: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[10:38] <dudeji> Quitt
[10:38] <dudeji> Quit
[10:40] <Mrokii> pantato, popey. I already have the server up and running, but I haven't found anything about what details I have to use to actually connect to that server. I also read something about key-generation for security and wanted a tutorial that explains these things.
[10:41] <popey> Mrokii: your username and password
[10:42] <popey> Mrokii: that's what you use to authenticate to ubuntu, and use the ip address to connect
[10:42] <The_Fly> daftykins: all working fine after reinstall, got my acpi issue sorted also without bios update just acpi_osi= (empty arg)
[10:42] <Mrokii> popey: Okay, I'll try that.
[10:43] <The_Fly> daftykins: gl vendor string correctly reports nvidia, all sorted
[10:45] <popey> abhinav: hows it going? got those pastes for me to look at?
[10:58] <Aleksandar86> is posible install PHP 5.3 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS?
[10:58] <Aleksandar86> and HOW?
[10:59] <bekks> Aleksandar86: PHP 5.3 is fairly outdated.
[11:06] <Kartagis> how do I export LC_* to a different locale?
[11:06] <Kartagis> locale-gen didn't work
[11:09] <Aleksandar86> bekks i know is outdated but i must test some php website who using very old codeIgniter v1.0
[11:10] <bencc> is there a package that adds papyrus font to ubuntu?
[11:11] <bekks> Aleksandar86: I guess you're better of installing 12.04 then.
[11:16] <Ethoscience> Hi
[11:16] <Ethoscience> Does anyone can help me to install a boot system?
[11:17] <Ethoscience> I tried it with rescataux but it doesn't work
[11:39] <mohamed> hello
[11:41] <Remind> Hey guys. I started asking for help yesterday but Ubuntu crashed again lol. I have a hybrid nvidia/intel card and when I start I get spammed with nouveau errors. Eventually (after adding nomodeset) I can log in but Ubuntu will crash sooner or later
[11:42] <Remind> I have a MSI GP Series GP60 Leopard Pro, with a GTX 950M card, and I'm using Ubuntu MATE 15.10
[11:47] <Goker> hi all :D
[11:47] <Remind> Also, when I go to additional drivers, I can see three options. NVIDIA Binary driver (proprietary, tested), NVIDIA (proprietary), and the X.Org X server (open source) driver
[11:48] <Goker> how's ot going u guys :D
[11:48] <Goker> ^_^
[11:48] <Remind> And the version is 352.63 for the two NVIDIA drivers. Would selecting one of those two solve my issue? When I start up I get spammed with nouveau errors and get put into a boot loop. Eventually I can edit the command line and add 'nomodeset'
[11:49] <MonkeyDust> Goker  this is ubuntu support
[11:50] <cfhowlett> Remind, you should be using the recommended driver
[11:50] <Remind> cfhowlett: How can I tell which one is recommended?
[11:51] <Remind> cfhowlett: I'm sorry, I'm new to Linux/Ubuntu
[11:51] <cfhowlett> system > additional drivers >
[11:51] <Remind> cfhowlett: None of them say recommended
[11:52] <Remind> cfhowlett: http://i.imgur.com/PoyuVXr.jpg
[11:53] <cfhowlett> http://imgur.com/PCv8YrG
[11:53] <cfhowlett> try the proprietary
[11:53] <Remind> The tested one?
[11:53] <cfhowlett> yep
[11:53] <Remind> Okay! also, I think this version may be outdated. I started to get help yesterday but I couldn't boot back up lol
[11:54] <Remind> The guy mentioned I should be using version 371
[11:54] <cfhowlett> Remind, sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
[11:54] <Remind> cfhowlett: Thank you so much, going to switch this driver (possibly restart) and then run that
[11:55] <Remind> I hope this fixes it! I always get worried I'm going to break my machine. It's my only one v.v
[11:55] <cfhowlett> Remind, run it before you switch
[11:55] <cfhowlett> might just fix your issues
[12:00] <unit> I can't get my printer to work!  Help.
[12:00] <Remind> cfhowlett: I think you helped me! I have an NVIDIA icon now and I booted just fine
[12:01] <MonkeyDust> !cookie | cfhowlett
[12:01] <cfhowlett> Remind, happy2help!  may I ask exactly what worked for you?
[12:01] <cfhowlett> thanks MD
[12:01] <Remind> Under additional drivers, it's still selected (propietary, tested) but it still says version 352.63
[12:01] <cfhowlett> same here
[12:01] <Remind> cfhowlett: I selected the driver you told me to, after running that command
[12:02] <cfhowlett> nice.  well, go forth and enjoy your ubuntu experience!
[12:02] <Remind> Thank you again so much. I ran into this when I tried to switch months ago and it was a huge headache. Thanks again!
[12:03] <cfhowlett> keep things update with that command you used and most issues will go away
[12:03] <MonkeyDust> alwqays nice to see satisfied new users
[12:03] <cfhowlett> indeed!
[12:06] <MonkeyDust> my 14.04 had become awfully slow, fixed it by setting vm.swappiness=10
[12:11] <hicoleri> Why do I get this when I try to mount a cd?: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15306391/
[12:12] <frostschutz> hicoleri, file -s /dev/sr0?
[12:12] <Ben64> hicoleri: you're mounting it incorrectly probably
[12:12] <hicoleri> frostschutz:/dev/sr0: # UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) 'PRJ_20100224'
[12:13] <hicoleri> Ben64:I'm using sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/
[12:13] <Ben64> sudo mount -t udf /dev/sr0 /mnt
[12:15] <frostschutz> grep udf /proc/filesystems
[12:16] <hicoleri> Ben64:http://paste.ubuntu.com/15306501/
[12:16] <hicoleri> frostschutz:It only shows "udf"
[12:17] <hicoleri> in red
[12:18] <frostschutz> hicoleri, and what's in dmesg? maybe it's just a bad disk
[12:19] <hicoleri> frostschutz: It was happening with my system partitions as well. I "solved" it by removing a line from /etc/fstab. http://paste.ubuntu.com/15306530/
[12:20] <hicoleri> also, my partitions dont automount or are visible on the sidebar anymore
[12:20] <frostschutz> hicoleri, ... blockdev --getsize64 /dev/sr0?
[12:21] <frostschutz> a full mount command such as the one given above does not use fstab, so it should be unrelated. (mount /mnt/thing without additional arguments would look for fstab to complete)
[12:22] <hicoleri> frostchutz:63488
[12:23] <frostschutz> hicoleri, that's way too small, less than 64 KiB. not enough to support a filesystem much less a file...
[12:24] <hicoleri> okay...
[12:24] <frostschutz> hicoleri, take the disc out and put it back in again, maybe it was detected wrongly
[12:24] <frostschutz> check for dirt, scratches, ... try a different drive
[12:25] <frostschutz> if the drive is confused for some reason, a power off might help too
[12:25] <hicoleri> Well, I'll go and get a new disc.
[12:25] <hicoleri> and burn it on another computer
[12:26] <hicoleri> frostschutz:Thanks, though
[12:27] <Mrokii> pantato, popey: Sorry to disturb, but I have another problem. I connected from Android to Ubuntu via SSH and tried scp, like "scp sourefile username@androidHostname:/Folder" and got an error message saying "ssh: connect to host androidHostname port 22: Connection refused" and a second line saying "lost connection". Any thoughts what could have gone wrong?
[12:28] <lapyo> are you on wifi?
[12:29] <Ben64> Mrokii: that would only work if you have a ssh server running on android
[12:30] <lapyo> ES file explorer on android with sftp to the ubuntu machine should do the file transfer job well
[12:30] <Mrokii> lapyo: I guess I'll trey ES file explorer then. I have it installed anyway.
[12:31] <lapyo> yeah, there should be "network" or something like that, there you can set up the sftp connection with your IP-address/domain name
[12:32] <Mrokii> Ben64: That's bad. Isn't there a way to copy files via ssh to Android, when making a connection from Android to Ubuntu?
[12:33] <Mrokii> lapyo: I'll try that, thanks.
[12:36] <adg> I'm trying to install Ubuntu to a new MSI GS72. The screen freezes less than 30 seconds in and I have to force the computer down.

[12:41] <adg> I managed to get that screen before auto shut down.
[12:41] <adg> Before it froze*
[12:42] <czwolf> My application corrade can start whn I type sudo/etc/init.d/corrade start . Program monit can detect it then and show as running when I type: sudo monit status .

[12:49] <DavidFromBE> hello, i would like to run diskless ubuntu machines booting from a synology nas, is that possible ? any pointer ?
[12:49] <ioria> adg no idea, seems your wifi card the problem.... you can try to install without network connection ...
[12:50] <ioria> DavidFromBE, you can start from here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto
[12:50] <MonkeyDust> Kartagis  not sure, never tried
[12:52] <DavidFromBE> ioria: thanks, i noticed this howto before but the server is running ubuntu too, and i want the server to be a synology nas
[12:57] <adg> ioria, I presume you mean ignore the card on boot. How would I go about doing that?
[12:57] <ioria> DavidFromBE, take a look http://www.pyrosoft.co.uk/blog/2013/01/13/setting-up-a-pxe-boot-server-on-synology-dsm-4-2-beta/

[12:59] <ioria> DavidFromBE, good luck
[12:59] <adg> ioria its a laptop
[12:59] <ioria> adg  yeah
[13:00] <ioria> adg  you already checked the integrity  of the medium ?
[13:02] <czwolf> anyone who can help with monit/Execution failed?
[13:05] <ioria> adg  you can also disable the card in bios settings, probably
[13:05] <czwolf> My application corrade can start when I type sudo/etc/init.d/corrade start . Program monit can detect it then and show as running when I type: sudo monit status .

[13:07] <MonkeyDust> czwolf  can you restart the service without monit
[13:08] <mines999> list
[13:08] <czwolf> MonkeyDust I can do start and stop yes (sudo /etc/init.d/corrade start works)
[13:09] <adg> ioria, tried multiple times with multiple flavors. I doubt it's a problem with the media. Also, I don't see any BIOS setting for turning off the network card.
[13:10] <MonkeyDust> czwolf  ok, but 'restart' ... i also wonder why you use /etc/init.d/ ... it's 'sudo service blah start' nowadays
[13:11] <czwolf> MonkeyDust - wen I do restart I get: desktop@ns504149:/etc/init.d$ sudo /etc/init.d/corrade restart
[13:11] <czwolf> Stopping corrade...
[13:11] <czwolf> No /usr/bin/mono found running; none killed.

[13:15] <czwolf> MonkeyDust I rely on a file provided by the creator of the software which I get support when I use their file. But they support more windows. I see this as a task for some linux guru so I am here. Not able to revwrite whole script.

[13:19] <zartu> hi guys, I have a laptop to whom I removed a ssd and now all the partitions addresses are crazy and when it boots I receive a grub rescue window. I tried https://askubuntu.com/questions/266429/error-file-grub-i386-pc-normal-mod-not-found and this doesn't  for me. Any ideas?
[13:19] <cfhowlett> zartu, reinstall grub from an ubuntu USB
[13:19] <zartu> the problem is that when I insmod /boot/grub/normal it adds a i386-pc in the path
[13:20] <zartu> i have a external hdd with ubuntu, can I try to boot form that one?
[13:21] <cfhowlett> zartu, you'll need to chroot to your problem system and reinstall grub2 there
[13:21] <mines999> quit
[13:24] <zartu> cfhowlett, thanks for info
[13:24] <cfhowlett> happy2help! zartu

[14:07] <monty_hall> how to disable display manager?
[14:07] <monty_hall> I'm booting into gnome login screen
[14:07] <monty_hall> I'd like to "startx"
[14:08] <monty_hall> or not even start the x server
[14:08] <Guest80763> install some x server?
[14:08] <monty_hall> just don't want the log in screen
[14:08] <monty_hall> disable that
[14:09] <monty_hall> I want to invoke x manually
[14:09] <gj|home> Anyone online with knowledge on xinput and Wacom Intous1? On Ubuntu14.04, on xinput  the pen is not "seperated" into styler and eraser - i get all events on both devices. But on an old Ubuntu 12, it's working right out of the box.
[14:09] <Bigsista> hi all
[14:09] <monty_hall> hello
[14:09] <MonkeyDust> !text | monty_hall
[14:10] <Bigsista> quite new to ubuntu. i'm running ubuntu 14.04.04 and it seems i have quite a mess with my kernels. which one is the latest "regular" kernel i should have on my box?
[14:10] <monty_hall> I guess there was some way of disabling the login service w/o having to select anything from grub
[14:10] <monty_hall> I guess *I thought*
[14:11] <MonkeyDust> Bigsista  3.19.0-51-generic here
[14:11] <cfhowlett> Bigsista, latest is the one with the largest number
[14:12] <Bigsista> ok got there manually, too. now ho do iget rid of all other 3.19-xx kernels and make sure apt-get upgrade updates my 3.19 kernel?
[14:12] <cfhowlett> Bigsista, sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade will upgrade all installed packages including kernels
[14:13] <tykayn-ubuntu> hey folks
[14:13] <cfhowlett> Bigsista, and sudo apt-get autoremove *should* clean out old kernels and packages
[14:13] <tykayn-ubuntu> lets say i want to make a custom desktop look from gnome, are there any tool to do that ?
[14:13] <tykayn-ubuntu> or i should learn C++
[14:13] <Bigsista> cfhowlett: does that stick to 3.10-xx then or does that install newer hwe's
[14:14] <MonkeyDust> tykayn-ubuntu  start here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[14:14] <cfhowlett> there's the real question!  it will not stick to 3.10-xx if newer kernels are available.
[14:15] <cfhowlett> Bigsista, ^^^
[14:15] <tykayn-ubuntu> thanbs MonkeyDust :)
[14:15] <Bigsista> cfhowlett: ok... would i want that in terms of stability?
[14:15] <cfhowlett> Bigsista, I don't know enough about HWE to advise.
[14:15] <halvors> How can i request a prefix with DHCPv6-PD with dhclient using configuration in /etc/network/interfaces?
[14:16] <MonkeyDust> Bigsista  what are you struggling with, what brings you here
[14:17] <Bigsista> cfhowlett: we're talking about vms. so the hardware does not really change. security updates are of interest - new hardware features are not.
[14:18] <cfhowlett> Bigsista, I'm going to have to refer you to more knowledgeable and available users.  Bedtime.  MonkeyDust is wise beyond his years.  ask him.
[14:22] <Bigsista> so asking all people here: linux-generic-lts-vivid linux-image-generic-lts-vivid are "meta"-packages obviously, do i go with them to keep my 3.19-xx kernel up to date?
[14:23] <MonkeyDust> that's a lie I can live with
[14:23] <Bigsista> MonkeyDust: huh?
[14:31] <Bigsista> ok. removed all other kernels.... going to reboot...
[14:34] <Bigsista> damn. 20 years of rpm based distros and ubuntu makes me feel like a noob. what runlevel to set for networking and console and how and where?
[14:34] <R13ose> I am able to get to the GUI in recovery mode.  Yet, starting the computer in normal mode, unsure if anything is happen.  What do I do?
[14:36] <alkisg> Bigsista: you select recovery more in grub, and then you get to a menu where you select to enable networking
[14:36] <alkisg> R13ose: recovery mode doesn't have GUI, yes
[14:37] <R13ose> alkisg: if I select continue in regular mode, this gets to a GUI I installed
[14:37] <Bigsista> what about GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text"
[14:37] <alkisg> If you have some custom software that tries to run a GUI, ok, it's not by design though
[14:37] <MonkeyDust> !runlevel | Bigsista start here
[14:38] <alkisg> Bigsista: yup, that should work as well
[14:38] <R13ose> alkisg: this is after the recovery mode, when you click the first option.
[14:38] <Bigsista> cat /proc/1/comm
[14:38] <Bigsista> init
[14:39] <Bigsista> so were fairly classic here
[14:39] <alkisg> R13ose: recovery mode sets nomodeset afaik, which is different from the normal mode. What happens in your case, you can't boot your pc normally?
[14:39] <R13ose> alkisg: I am unsure if anything is happening when my PC boots normally.
[14:39] <jpmh> I am runnng 14.4 on a machine with not enough resources  - 99% of the time it works VERY well, occasionally the OS kills, Signal 9, a process rather than crashes.  Is there some log of this?
[14:40] <alkisg> R13ose: I mean, I didn't understand what your problem is.
[14:40] <R13ose> alkisg: all I see is a blank screen when I boot normally.
[14:40] <alkisg> R13ose: press "e" in grub, then replace "quiet splash" with "nomodeset", then f10 to exit the grub menu, and see if that allows you to boot
[14:43] <R13ose> alkisg: I did that and still blank screen
[14:44] <alkisg> R13ose: and you say that with recovery mode you're able to get a gui?
[14:45] <R13ose> alkisg: yes after I hit enter on first option in recovery mode.  This says "splash quiet"
[14:45] <alkisg> R13ose: what did you do and your system broke like that? did you e.g. try to install some drivers etc?
[14:47] <R13ose> alkisg: all I did was install Ubuntu from the mini cd and installed Ubuntu Desktop.  This has never loaded in normal mode.
[14:48] <alkisg> R13ose: which graphics card? lspci -nn -k | grep -A 2 VGA
[14:51] <Melio> I need help installing this epson workforce 325 wireless printer in linux
[14:51] <Melio> i got the scanner to work, but not the printer
[14:51] <R13ose> alkisg: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller [8086:0166] (rev 09)
[14:51] <Melio> which is really epic
[14:52] <alkisg> R13ose: and which ubuntu version did you install? 14.04?
[14:52] <Melio> wireless scanning in linux is one thing i wouldnt think would work right. but yep got it working
[14:53] <R13ose> alkisg: Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device [1025:0798]
[14:54] <R13ose> alkisg: 15.10
[14:54] <alkisg> R13ose: if you press "e" in grub, and change "quiet splash" to "text", do you get a text prompt for login?
[14:54] <alkisg> In the normal mode, not the recovery...
[14:58] <R13ose> alkisg: still blank screen.
[14:59] <R13ose> alkisg: wait I am in. How do I tell which mode I am in?
[15:00] <R13ose> alkisg: I am in GUI now.

[15:00] <cihtrak> Hello
[15:01] <cihtrak> I have just purchased a new laptop, i want to know if i can make my laptop a dual

[15:04] <bobby_> hi can someone please help me with a problem I am having building a shell script file, when I run "sh" on a install.SH file I get an error 'can't find config.sh'
[15:05] <SchrodingersScat> bobby_: is config.sh in path or in the directory?
[15:05] <R13ose> How do I change the blank boot screen to something else that I can this is loading?
[15:06] <bobby_> config_h.SH    <--- is
[15:07] <bobby_> should I rename it?
[15:08] <mrthingfish> .
[15:08] <miki> any girls
[15:09] <alkisg> R13ose: what did you do to get a gui now?
[15:09] <SchrodingersScat> bobby_: or change it in the other script
[15:10] <bobby_> alright i'll try it
[15:12] <R13ose> alkisg: all I did was change splash quiet to text and this loaded.  Yet, this could be loading the whole time but I can't tell.  Is there a way to change the boot screen so I can tell this is loading each time?
[15:12] <bobby_> schrodingerscat: install.SH: 17: .: 3: Too many open files
[15:13] <alkisg> R13ose: "text" is not supposed to give you a gui, so if you're getting a gui with text, you have something broken, not something fixed... :)
[15:13] <ioria> on 15.10 you need additional steps to get a text boot
[15:15] <alkisg> ioria: you're right, it's broken there, i just tested it
[15:15] <ioria> http://ask.xmodulo.com/boot-into-command-line-ubuntu-debian.html
[15:15] <ioria> alkisg, ^
[15:16] <alkisg> So I presume that removing "quiet splash" fixed his GUI? That's strange...
[15:16] <Melio> can LSB run on ubuntu properly, os did debian drop LSB and ubuntu won't work with it
[15:16] <SchrodingersScat> bobby_: shellcheck.net
[15:16] <Melio> my printer driver requires LSB and i can't install it to run my printer driver
[15:16] <ioria> alkisg,    sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target
[15:16] <Melio> I'm considering just giving up
[15:16] <R13ose> alkisg: I restarted the computer and this loads into GUI without me doing anything.  I would like something that tells me this is loading on the boot screen.
[15:17] <bobby_> schrodingercat: ok
[15:18] <sanjeb> hi all
[15:18] <sanjeb> can someone help me with something on this webpage?
[15:18] <sanjeb> http://idroot.net/tutorials/how-to-install-adobe-flash-player-11-2-on-ubuntu/
[15:20] <EriC^^> sanjeb: what's the problem?
[15:20] <R13ose> alkisg: I believe that is still there isn't it?
[15:20] <alkisg> R13ose: I don't understand your question
[15:20] <sanjeb> there is the part where it says "Add the following lines"
[15:21] <sanjeb> I dont know where to add the lines it wants me to add
[15:21] <R13ose> alkisg: if I remove splash quiet that is only one time, right?
[15:21] <EriC^^> sanjeb: it's in /etc/apt/sources.list
[15:21] <sanjeb> im trying to install adobe flash
[15:21] <sanjeb> yes
[15:21] <alkisg> R13ose: if you remove it with "e" in grub, yes
[15:22] <EriC^^> sanjeb: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[15:22] <Basstard`> 14.04 32 bit mini.iso does not want to install, or rather does not even want to begin. Fails at downloading a file and aborts.
[15:22] <R13ose> alkisg: then the splash quiet will be back and restarting and not touching anything is normal boot right?
[15:22] <alkisg> R13ose: yes, if you restart without typing anything in grub, you have normal boot
[15:23] <alkisg> ioria: passing "text systemd.unit=multi-user.target" in cmdline did it; but imho that's broken behavior, "text" should work fine like "single" does
, after I put that command, what should I do?
[15:24] <R13ose> alkisg: now how do I change the boot screen to show this is loading?  I want something graphical.
[15:24] <alkisg> R13ose: I don't understand your question. Do you mean that you don't see the plymouth screen with ubuntu and dots loading?
[15:24] <EriC^^> sanjeb: copy and paste the stuff
[15:25] <ioria> alkisg,    i followed this http://ask.xmodulo.com/boot-into-command-line-ubuntu-debian.html, but you need to edit /etc/default/grub idk if it's still possible to do it from the grub  screen
[15:25] <sanjeb> I paste it anywhere?
[15:25] <alkisg> ioria: I did it from the login screen like I said...
[15:25] <EriC^^> sanjeb: at the bottom
[15:25] <ioria> alkisg,    it works ?
[15:25] <R13ose> alkisg: yes but I want to know what other things I can put there if I wanted something different
[15:25] <alkisg> ioria: yes, with "text systemd.unit=multi-user.target"
[15:25] <ioria> alkisg,    great
[15:25] <roundduckman> There's been wierd error screens popping up once in a while on Ubuntu Gnome 15.10. Does anybody else also suffer from this issue on an intel cpu with Intel HD 4000 (or something like it) graphics?
[15:26] <alkisg> R13ose: I don't know of any plymouth alternatives
 do I exit normal after that or is there a command to save the changes?
[15:26] <EriC^^> sanjeb: ctrl+x should ask to save
[15:27] <R13ose> alkisg: thanks for all the help
[15:27] <alkisg> np
 thank you alot :), it worked :)
[15:28] <EriC^^> great, no problem :)
[15:30] <roundduckman> EriC^^: Do you know why am I having issues? Is there something similar with plain Ubuntu 15.10?
[15:30] <EriC^^> what issues?
[15:30] <roundduckman> I mentioned them above
[15:31] <EriC^^> paste them
[15:31] <bradley> can anyone help with a sound issue?
[15:31] <EriC^^> my scrollback doesn't go that far
[15:32] <roundduckman> EriC^^: how? Plus I quitted out the windows in the past, and there isn't any now, so how can I trigger one to get all the info for them?
[15:32] <roundduckman> Is there like a pile of error logs?
[15:32] <alkisg> roundduckman: try this in a terminal: ls /var/crash
[15:32] <alkisg> Do you see files (lines) there?
[15:33] <EriC^^> roundduckman: what's the issue anyways?
[15:35] <EriC^^> are macaron's good tasting?
[15:35] <MonkeyDust> roundduckman  what brings you here, start from the beginning
[15:35] <ioria> yeah
[15:35] <EriC^^> ioria: was that for me?
[15:35] <ioria> yeah
[15:35] <EriC^^> ok, thanks :)
[15:35] <ioria> :þ
[15:38] <roundduckman> MonkeyDust: I've been getting random error after installing Ubuntu Gnome, even after updating. Yes, I later on got the plain Gnome 3 ppa to get the rest of the Gnome 3.16 packages, but freezing happened, along with errors probably still, then after downgrading back to normal with ppa-purge, I am (still?) having errors. errors involve gnome-shell (after a freeze), Xorg, gjs console, and oneconf.
[15:38] <roundduckman> basically errors the entire time probably
[15:39] <MonkeyDust> roundduckman  I picked this up in this channel ... save it as 'fixpackages' ... make executable with 'chmod +x fixpackages' ... then run it with './fixpackages' ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/15121279/
[15:42] <Basstard`> 14.04 32 bit mini.iso does not want to install, or rather does not even want to begin. Fails at downloading a file, libcryptsetup4-udeb, and aborts. Not user-error. Try in QEMU for yourself. Fix it.
[15:44] <MonkeyDust> are those error messages, or is that what you say?
[15:46] <ioria> Basstard`, i got that error too plus vga issues, and it was because i choose the Advanced  Tool instead of normal Install ... if i rc
[15:48] <jpmh> My WAY UNDER resourced machine when it is about to run out of memory kills some processes - how does it decide which ones and is there a log of what it did
[15:48] <alkisg> jpmh: google for oom score
[15:48] <roundduckman> hold on
[15:48] <Basstard`> MonkeyDust: Like I said, try yourself. You will get to choose your keyboard and hostname and select mirror and then it aborts after trying to download that file. And, of course, it does not matter whether virtual machine or real machine.
[15:49] <||arifaX> Basstard`: You are right, just verified that!
[15:49] <EriC^^> ||arifaX: Basstard` which mirrors did you use?
[15:49] <||arifaX> EriC^^: I tried with german and US both did not work
[15:49] <cans> Is there a gui for nfs on 14.04?
[15:50] <jpmh> alkisg: ty - reading about it now -
[15:50] <Basstard`> EriC^^: Different ones, does not really matter.
[15:50] <MonkeyDust> cans  try gigolo
[15:51] <MonkeyDust> !nfs
[15:51] <cans> thanks, what about gui to set up nfs server?
[15:51] <roundduckman> MonkeyDust: Checking for root
[15:51] <roundduckman> OK got root
[15:51] <roundduckman> You will see no output for up to 5 minutes. Please wait
[15:51] <roundduckman>   Removing the /var/lib/dpkg directory
[15:51] <roundduckman>   Reverting to the previous package states

[15:53] <roundduckman> back again...
[15:53] <Melio> i have no idea how it worked, but i was able to get my printer and scanner on a wifi printer working perfectly
[15:54] <Melio> major success
[15:54] <TrentP> DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive ...... this will work if I want to script system updates with a systemd timer?
[15:54] <Guest77944> hallo, bräuchte mal hilfe zwecks ubuntu und metaplsoit
[15:54] <roundduckman> MonkeyDust: Take 2... http://paste.ubuntu.com/15308552/
[15:54] <MonkeyDust> cans  more people have asked the same question, no, there is no gui for nfs
[15:55] <roundduckman> MonkeyDust: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15308552/
[15:55] <cans> ok thank you
[15:55] <MonkeyDust> roundduckman  ok, read it
[15:56] <roundduckman> MonkeyDust: Doesn't look like it did much, but it seems it can't find ‘/var/lib/dpkg/available-old’ though.
[15:57] <squinty> !de | Guest77944
[15:57] <MonkeyDust> roundduckman  what was your question again?
[15:57] <Guest77944> who can help me, i installed ubuntu and the metasploit framework for penetration testing. i used windows before about 10 years ago. but the problem is if i start ubuntu metasploit starts automaticly. and if metasploit ruby start my hole system is hanging ruby needs a lot of system rescources how can i disable die automatic start
[15:58] <MonkeyDust> initial question
[15:58] <roundduckman> MonkeyDust: The random error screens.
[15:58] <MonkeyDust> roundduckman  are they gone?
[16:00] <nomic> Guest77944  .. "session and startup" in settings shows what packages/apps are started up
[16:01] <roundduckman> MonkeyDust: Don't know, it hasn't been long enough yet, but I haven't had any for a few minutes. That said, I ran the script a few minutes ago, but they havent appeared since before that. I bet after a reboot a few more will appear once in a while again though. Can I at least paste the errors to see why they messed up and look like something like the "fix packages" program could fix anything?
[16:07] <roundduckman> MonkeyDust: One of these errors, the xorg error, says it crashed with SIGABRT in OsAbort()
[16:08] <roundduckman> what the heck does that mean?
[16:11] <roundduckman> MonkeyDust: Looked the error up, out out it was a bug... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1503358
[16:12] <roundduckman> well, was a bug...
[16:12] <roundduckman> MonkeyDust: You still there?
[16:13] <roundduckman> MonkeyDust: You still there?
[16:15] <roundduckman> MonkeyDust: Hello?
[16:16] <roundduckman> EriC^^: Are you there? Basically I found out the xorg error was a bug, probably.

[16:34] <chillpill_> let me check
[16:34] <steven> morning, small question I have: fdisk -l prints an sata drive (so the system found it) but I cannot mount a single partition and I cant figure out why
[16:34] <squinty> up here but a bit slow to load
[16:34] <chillpill_> its up
[16:34] <roundduckman> MonkeyDust: Are you still here?
[16:34] <Nicholas1> i see
[16:34] <R13ose> When I bootup, there is a blank screen and then at the end I see the plymouth theme, how do I make the plymouth theme appear all the time during bootup?
[16:34] <steven> so I was wondering how one could check a partitons FS without mounting it? maybe I just use the wrong fs type
[16:35] <EriC^^> R13ose: type cat /proc/cmdline
[16:35] <EriC^^> and paste here
[16:35] <EriC^^> steven: sudo blkid /dev/sdxY
[16:35] <Nicholas1> how much lag is acceptable in #ubuntu?
[16:36] <Nicholas1> i mean in secs?
[16:36] <Nicholas1> mine hovers between 2-7 seconds
[16:36] <Nicholas1> is that fine?
[16:36] <gr33nbits> yeh

[16:36] <Nicholas1> ok
[16:36] <steven> EriC^^: yea that doesnt work :S
[16:36] <R13ose> EriC^^: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-4.2.0-30-generic root=/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root ro splash quiet vt.handoff=7
[16:37] <steven> I already checked blkid (obviously) but it doesnt list the device
[16:37] <steven> fdisk does tho
[16:37] <EriC^^> steven: try sudo parted -l
[16:37] <EriC^^> R13ose: ok wanted to see if vt.handoff was there
[16:38] <roundduckman> EriC^^: What's the meaning of this: "gnome-shell crashed with SIGABRT in g_assertion_message()" from a previous error
[16:38] <steven> partition table unknown EriC^^ .. now thats something new
[16:38] <R13ose> EriC^^: okay this is there.
[16:41] <ioria> splash quite ?  maybe quite splash
[16:41] <roundduckman> EriC^^: Help? What's the meaning of 'gnome-shell crashed with SIGABRT in g_assertion_message()'?
[16:41] <EriC^^> roundduckman: sounds like some error
[16:42] <EriC^^> not a dev expert here
[16:43] <EriC^^> roundduckman: all i can tell you is that assertion is it trying to check that something is something, and it isn't so it just aborted and crashed
[16:43] <R13ose> ioria: How do I change that?
[16:43] <ioria> R13ose, in the same way you changed before, i think
[16:43] <R13ose> ioria: that was only a one time change.
[16:44] <oleg> vbcb
[16:44] <roundduckman> Eric^^: I know that, I looked up that there were past bugs involving it, but still. I happened after a freeze, though thinking about it, that happened when I was using the gnome 3 ppa (not staging, I was using the one that lets me get almost the rest of the packages for my respective Gnome version, since canonical holds back a few of the packages...) and updated under that ppa. I'm using Ubuntu Gnome 15.10
[16:44] <steven> EriC^^: happen to know this issue?
[16:45] <ioria> R13ose, at boot, press shift Advanced Option -> press 'e' -> scroll to 'linux' line , change it and F10
[16:45] <EriC^^> steven: did you try a smart check on the hdd?
[16:45] <R13ose> ioria: yes but that is only one time change as I remember.
[16:45] <steven> whats smart check??
[16:45] <ioria> R13ose, before paste /etc/default/grub
[16:45] <EriC^^> steven: any back story to the partitions you're trying to mount?
[16:46] <steven> not really, it used to be an external HDD and I just removed it from the case and shoved it in the regular machine
[16:46] <roundduckman> Eric^^: I know that, I looked up that there were past bugs involving it, but still.

[16:47] <R13ose> ioria: http://pastebin.com/NLk67nXd
[16:47] <EriC^^> steven: sudo apt-get install smartmontools && sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX
[16:47] <EriC^^> steven: check the hdd's health
[16:48] <squinty> or check with Disks
[16:48] <kutchu> Hello, I am new to IRC and this is a test message.
[16:48] <ioria> R13ose, yes, nano /etc/default/grub   change splash quiet with quite splash ,  close, run sudo update-grub
[16:48] <MonkeyDust> kutchu  good news: it works
[16:48] <steven> EriC^^: passed
[16:48] <EriC^^> roundduckman: i see, i can't help much though, try asking the channel again every once in a while in case somebody knows
[16:48] <kutchu> I am glad, it worked :)
[16:48] <steven> the overall health anyway
[16:48] <EriC^^> steven: can you pastebin the output?
[16:48] <steven> sure
[16:49] <steven> ttp://paste.ubuntu.com/15309249/ EriC^^
[16:49] <roundduckman> I'm gonna go.
[16:49] <roundduckman> thanks
[16:50] <paul_> ls
[16:51] <EriC^^> steven: are you sure it's fastened it correctly?
[16:51] <steven> yes :D
[16:51] <R13ose> ioria: I did that, now restart?
[16:51] <ioria> R13ose, yes
[16:53] <EriC^^> steven: do you have stuff on the hdd you need ? or you're setting up a backup hdd or something?
[16:53] <steven> http://paste.ubuntu.com/15309297/ maybe that'll help a bit?
[16:54] <steven> and yes, its full and not backup'd :D
[16:54] <steven> I mean I could just shove it back in the USB external case thingy and plug it in via usb.. but I kinda think there has to be another way
[16:55] <R13ose> ioria: this didn't work out, I still saw the blank screen and then the plymouth theme at the end.
[16:55] <EriC^^> steven: maybe you need to play with the settings in the bios?
[16:56] <ioria> R13ose, no idea then, sorry
[16:56] <EriC^^> ahci and whatnot?
[16:56] <R13ose> okay
[16:56] <R13ose> Anyone else have ideas?
[16:56] <steven> maybe..
[16:56] <Norbin> anyone using the intel hd 530 gpu on ubuntu? (Skylake's)
[16:57] <MonkeyDust> !ask | Norbin
[16:58] <craptalk> hey guys, can you help a friend out here, how weird it is, i have been checking on my codes inserting data into phpmyadmin database but there was no luck at all, but i tried the same code in windows system, it worked out, why? i am using ubuntu mate 15.04, LAMP SERVER they called here for xampp
[16:58] <ioria> R13ose, http://askubuntu.com/questions/79953/why-does-plymouth-start-so-late/79959#79959
[16:58] <craptalk> localhost and all runs perfectly when i checked it on my browser
[16:59] <craptalk> just cant insert any data into phpmyadmin, so damn weird and frustrating
[17:00] <craptalk> do i have problem with my installation or something?
[17:00] <Norbin> MonkeyDust: reason why I am asking is back I used to have lots of issues few months back with that gpu and I was wondering if it got any better.
[17:00] <R13ose> ioria: thanks I will try and come back
[17:00] <ioria> R13ose, good luck
[17:00] <R13ose> thanks
[17:01] <MonkeyDust> Norbin  better describe the symptoms, maybe someone recognizes the issue
[17:02] <javier_> Hello, can anyone help me with a VPN connection? I am connected to the VPN but the browser seems to not recognize it, or to not route the traffic through the VPN and hence I dont have access to my institution services
[17:03] <BluesKaj> javier_, m ake sure you refresh the bowser before checking the IP with the vpn connection
[17:06] <javier_> Yes I do it. Also I close the browser and open again
[17:06] <javier_> BluesKaj:
[17:06] <BluesKaj> what vpn protocol are you using , javier_ ?
[17:06] <javier_> vpnc
[17:07] <javier_> if I do an ifconfig command
[17:07] <javier_> I see the "tun0" connection
[17:07] <javier_> with the IP of my institution
[17:07] <R13ose> ioria: this worked out.
[17:08] <ioria> R13ose, glad to hear that
[17:08] <R13ose> Now I want to change the boot theme
[17:08] <javier_> but the browser, when I visit a webpag where I know I have access, the browser ignores it
[17:11] <BluesKaj> javier_, I'm not familair with vpnc connections, those are a cisco tunnel and I don't how it interacts with network manager
[17:12] <Norbin> MonkeyDust: looks like kernel 4.3 fixed them all, any idea if that kernel version supports 14.04.4?
[17:12] <javier_> ok BluesKaj, thank you anyway
[17:12] <tete_> whats the channel name for xenial/beta/alpha?
[17:12] <fearnothing> hi, quick question about software raid
[17:13] <DJones> tete_: #ubuntu+1
[17:13] <tete_> thanks
[17:13] <Industrial> Hi
[17:13] <Industrial> I get an error installing a ruby gem
[17:13] <fearnothing> if I have two devices in sw raid and I want to move back to only a single device with the data, do I need to move all the data off first?
[17:13] <Industrial> https://gist.github.com/Industrial/58e9798bc38afa37917f
[17:13] <fearnothing> it's just a mirror
[17:13] <Industrial> mkmf.rb can't find header files for ruby at /usr/lib/ruby/include/ruby.h
[17:13] <Industrial> What package do I need?
[17:14] <Industrial> got it, it's `ruby-dev`
[17:14] <Anthony-L> man, ubuntu does not like my hardware.
[17:14] <tete_> fearnothing, i think you can simply delete the raid if its really just a mirror, but not 100% sure
[17:15] <Anthony-L> for 2 whole days i've been trying to install it with no success.
[17:15] <tete_> in any way: i would create a backup before
[17:15] <DaniKitten> Hi
[17:15] <fearnothing> tete_ the data on it isn't very valuable - it's logs in my lab environment
[17:15] <alkisg> Anthony-L: what's the exact issue?
[17:15] <tinyalpha> what the hell is ubuntu
[17:15] <DaniKitten> Ubuntu is an operating system
[17:16] <tete_> no, its a distribution. but dont feed the troll i suggest
[17:16] <DaniKitten> Ubuntu is an operating system, based on Linux
[17:16] <tinyalpha> alex keaton
[17:16] <Anthony-L> alkisg: my problem is after install of ubuntu, i get blank black screen.
[17:17] <MonkeyDust> Norbin  not sure, 3.19 here, for 14.04.4
[17:17] <ioria> !nomodeset
[17:17] <alkisg> Anthony-L: but you do get a graphics mode in the live cd? i.e. installation works out fine?
[17:17] <Anthony-L> alkisg: it's hit or miss.
[17:18] <alkisg> Anthony-L: which graphics card?
[17:18] <Anthony-L> i bet you can guess, nvidia gtx 970
[17:18] <alkisg> Anthony-L: and which ubuntu version?
[17:18] <Anthony-L> 15.10
[17:19] <Anthony-L> i'm reinstalling ubuntu again.
[17:19] <tete_> DaniKitten, linux is an operating system, depending on the definition term
[17:19] <DaniKitten> Linux is the kernel
[17:19] <DaniKitten> GNU/Linux is an operating system
[17:19] <alkisg> Anthony-L: maybe you could also try 16.04, the more recent nouveau there might recognize your card better
[17:19] <tete_> and now read the wiki page about operating system and what it should provide
[17:20] <tete_> and you will see that the kernel already has all that stuff
[17:20] <tete_> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system#Linux
[17:20] <BluesKaj> javier_, do you have network-manager-vpnc installed?
[17:20] <DaniKitten> and Ubuntu is an OS based on GNU/Linux
[17:20] <Anthony-L> alkisg: where do i download 16.04? ubuntu doesn't have that on their site.
[17:20] <MonkeyDust> Anthony-L  16.04 is not out yet
[17:20] <DaniKitten> Try to download the 12.04
[17:20] <BluesKaj> !xenail | Anthony-L
[17:20] <Anthony-L> go figure
[17:20] <tete_> no DaniKitten ubuntu is a distribution(!) which ships the kernel and some other stuff
[17:20] <alkisg> Anthony-L:  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
[17:21] <DaniKitten> 12.04 is old, but probably was corrected a lot
[17:21] <BluesKaj> !xenial
[17:21] <DaniKitten> and now is almost perfect and will not have errors
[17:21] <javier_> Hello, can anyone help me with a VPN connection? I am connected to the VPN but the browser seems to not recognize it, or to not route the traffic through the VPN and hence I dont have access to my institution services
[17:22] <Anthony-L> i'm downloading 16.04
[17:22] <BluesKaj> javier_, I just asked you if you installed network-manager-vpnc
[17:22] <MonkeyDust> Anthony-L  expect errors and stability issues
[17:22] <DaniKitten> 12.04 is faster to be downloaded
[17:22] <Anthony-L> monkeydust: im already getting all that anyway with 14.04 adn 15.10
[17:22] <javier_> Yes, I installed it
[17:22] <javier_> BluesKaj:
[17:23] <tgm4883> I wouldn't install 12.04 at this poing
[17:23] <DaniKitten> 756 MB instead of 1.0 GB with 14.04
[17:23] <MonkeyDust> Anthony-L  cynic
[17:23] <javier_> Sorry I don't read your comment BluesKaj
[17:23] <Anthony-L> :)
[17:24] <BluesKaj> javier_, did you setup network manager to connect via vpnc to your server ?
[17:24] <notalentgeek> How do I find files with a path length greater than 260 characters in Linux? In Windows I can just do this cmd /c dir /s /b |? {$_.length -gt 260}.
[17:24] <tete_> maybe someone here can help me. i try to connect by command line to my wlan but it does not work. i created /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf and started the service - i can see it with ps aux. when i try wpa_cli i get:  Could not connect to wpa_supplicant: (nil) - re-trying
[17:25] <tgm4883> Anthony-L: If you are having issues, installing a different version rather than just trying to find fixes for the issues is just delaying the inevitable.
[17:25] <javier_> BluesKaj: Yes. I have configured the connection and know I am connected to it. I have the "tun0" connection and also I have IP of my institution.
[17:25] <javier_> BluesKaj: It seems that it is a problem more related to the browser rather than the connection
[17:25] <Anthony-L> tgm4883: i've been in here troubleshooting with everyone. i've already accepted the inevitable. it's obviously a hardware issue.
[17:26] <BluesKaj> javier_, then it could be a userm=name or password issue ?
[17:26] <j09> Hey guys. I've just installed Chromium and it's companion the pepperflash plugin, however I can seem to get Chromium to see the flash plugin. It doesn't show up in chrome://plugins . I'm running 16.04 beta 1.
[17:26] <ioria> notalentgeek, try find -regextype posix-extended -regex '.{261,}'
[17:26] <BluesKaj> which browser, javier_?
[17:27] <javier_> BluesKaj: Nope, if it could be a problem of username or password I cannot establish the connection, but I am connected.
[17:27] <ioria> Anthony-L, have you tried nomodeset ?
[17:27] <javier_> BluesKaj: Firefox
[17:27] <Anthony-L> javier_: yes
[17:27] <BluesKaj> j09, use chrome instead or FF with the freshplayer plugin
[17:27] <gebbione> i just copied my main HD to a new one, now i think grub is still looking for the old hardisk as i get an error during boot saying the disk with UUID (old disk uuid) could not be found
[17:27] <tgm4883> notalentgeek: try something like "find /path/to/dir | grep '.\{260\}' "
[17:28] <javier_> Anthony-L: yes?
[17:28] <Anthony-L> yes
[17:28] <notalentgeek> ioria, It does nothing. I put it in Terminal it just returned ">" and I need to CTRL + C to get my normal input back.
[17:28] <tgm4883> oh, ioria's is probably better
[17:28] <j09> I'd rather us Chromium if its all the same BluesKaj
[17:28] <tgm4883> notalentgeek: did you put both quotes that ioria mentioned? Sounds like you didn't
[17:28] <ioria> Anthony-L, without 'try'
[17:28] <ioria> notalentgeek,  without 'try'
[17:29] <DaniKitten> What features have 14.04 not founded on 12.04 on Ubuntu
[17:29] <javier_> Anthony-L: what yes? I dont't know what are you referring
[17:29] <Anthony-L> javier, i've tried nomodeset a million times.
[17:29] <tgm4883> DaniKitten: huh?
[17:29] <ioria> javier_, it was for me
[17:29] <Anthony-L> i've been through the process of nomodeset a million times.
[17:29] <javier_> Ahm, ok. haha
[17:30] <javier_> a cross-conversation
[17:30] <Anthony-L> please, dont try to troubleshoot my problem. i've already simply said it's a hardware issue. my gpu hates linux.
[17:30] <notalentgeek> ioria, tgm4883, Okay I forget the super user :)). This is for the whole directory that is 260 long right?
[17:30] <notalentgeek> ioria, tgm4883, Anyway thank you!
[17:30] <ioria> notalentgeek,  no problem
[17:31] <javier_> BluesKaj: Well, it is not a problem of the browser. Chrome also ignores the VPN IP
[17:32] <DaniKitten> What features have 14.04 not founded on 12.04 on Ubuntu
[17:32] <DaniKitten> I'm downloading 12.04
[17:32] <notalentgeek> Hello, I have another question what is the best file system that can move > 4GB and working for both Windows and Linux?
[17:32] <frostschutz> notalentgeek, ntfs?
[17:33] <notalentgeek> frostschutz, Can NTFS be used in Linux?
[17:33] <DaniKitten> with ntfs-3g you can
[17:33] <notalentgeek> frostschutz, I thought Linux can only read and write ext and FAT.
[17:33] <j09> Is anyone available to help? I've just installed Chromium and it's companion the pepperflash plugin, however I can't seem to get Chromium to see the flash plugin. It doesn't show up in chrome://plugins . I'm on 16.04
[17:33] <BluesKaj> javier_, are you checking with http://www.ip-tracker.org/ , it will show the IP and vpn connection IP as long as you refresh the browser first
[17:34] <notalentgeek> DaniKitten, So NTFS-3G is just like the best solution for my problem at this moment?
[17:34] <frostschutz> notalentgeek, unless you want to try your luck with strange ext4 drivers for windows, yes
[17:34] <DaniKitten> I can with Puppy Linux, you probably can with Ubuntu
[17:35] <gebbione> notalentgeek, i have a drive mounted on ntfs-3g used on my ubuntu for data
[17:35] <gebbione> it has weird permissions but still works
[17:36] <sacusa> hello people
[17:36] <javier_> BluesKaj: The VPN ip is not shown
[17:36] <notalentgeek> frostschutz, gebbione, Okay I will try to format my backup HDD into NTFS-3G
[17:37] <sacusa> i need some help
[17:37] <javier_> BluesKaj: only my ISP ip, but nothing about the VPN
[17:37] <BluesKaj> javier_, what shows, your IP?
[17:37] <j09> I've just installed Chromium and it's companion the pepperflash plugin, however I can't seem to get Chromium to see the flash plugin. It doesn't show up in chrome://plugins . I'm on 16.04
[17:37] <BluesKaj> javier_, refresh your browser?
[17:38] <gebbione> j09, why don't u use chrome? forget about chromium, in my experience is not kept up to date
[17:38] <BluesKaj> javier_, or clear the cache
[17:38] <javier_> BluesKaj: yes, yes. I have refreshed the browser and only my ISP ip is shown. No info about the VPN ip
[17:39] <j09> gebbione I'm asking to fix a problem, please help.
[17:39] <j09> gebbione this was never a problem on Manjaro
[17:41] <notalentgeek> How can you just format HDD into HTFS-3G using GParted?
[17:42] <j09> Does anyone else here use Chromium with pepperflash?
[17:42] <gebbione> i just copied my main HD to a new one, now i think grub is still looking for the old hardisk as i get an error during boot saying the disk with UUID (old disk uuid) could not be found
[17:42] <gebbione> what can i do to fix this?
[17:42] <gebbione> notalentgeek, does it give you the option?
[17:42] <javier_> BluesKaj: Neh, I cleared the cache but nothing different
[17:42] <notalentgeek> gebbione, Nothing in my GParted.
[17:43] <javier_> I close and open browser, re-config the network configuration inside Firefox, but nothing
[17:43] <notalentgeek> gebbione, I just installed it with sudo-apt so I guess my GParted is quite update.
[17:44] <notalentgeek> gebbione, Or it is just NTFS in GParted?
[17:45] <gebbione> i think so, ntfs-3g i think is the package to mount ntfs  filesystems
[17:45] <SchrodingersScat> notalentgeek: can go to View -> File System Support
[17:45] <gebbione> unfortunately i need to fix my boot loading issue at the moment or i would share also how i mount it
[17:47] <BluesKaj> javier_, can you ping the server IP
[17:47] <notalentgeek> SchrodingersScat, Okay that is quite informative thanks!
[17:50] <j09> I've just installed Chromium and it's companion the pepperflash plugin, however I can't seem to get Chromium to see the flash plugin. It doesn't show up in chrome://plugins . I'm on 16.04
[17:50] <SchrodingersScat> !16.04 | j09
[17:51] <gebbione> is it actually worth upgrading from 14.04 ?
[17:51] <SchrodingersScat> That is up to you?
[17:51] <j09> Thanks SchrodingersScat
[17:51] <SchrodingersScat> welcome
[17:52] <Anthony-L> why isn't my computer seeing the 16.04 .iso file? i can't put the image on the usb stick.
[17:53] <SchrodingersScat> Anthony-L: can you cd to the directory and confirm it exists?
[17:54] <Anthony-L> shrod: it's on my desktop...
[17:54] <SchrodingersScat> Anthony-L: what you are using to try to image is also helpful.
[17:55] <Anthony-L> i'm using the Universal USB installer.
[17:55] <Anthony-L> the one from ubuntu website.
[17:55] <j09> SchrodingersScat No-one seems to be around to help. I really wish I could get this worked out.
[17:58] <BluesKaj> j09, we already told you to use chrome, do you actually read our responses?
[17:59] <Anthony-L> now i can't mount the .iso image to usb for some odd reason.
[17:59] <j09> BluesKaj Of course. And I told you I'd rather not. I'm sorry if I'm being irritating.
[18:00] <SchrodingersScat> if it's an iso file then it should be found when you navigate to the desktop then, not sure what else could be stopping it.
[18:00] <Anthony-L> yea, i don't know either.
[18:00] <BluesKaj> j09, then stop repeating your question because chromium is out of date
[18:00] <ioria> Anthony-L, you mean that when you press 'Browse' button, it does not find the iso ?
[18:01] <Anthony-L> ioria: yes, i can see it as clear as day on my desktop.
[18:01] <Anthony-L> i can't see when i browse.
[18:01] <j09> BluesKaj It's not though.
[18:01] <ioria> Anthony-L,  you selected 'Ubuntu' in Step 1 ?
[18:01] <Anthony-L> ioria: yes
[18:01] <krc> How do I do a manual upgrade?
[18:02] <ioria> Anthony-L,  scroll down and try Unlisted Linux iso
[18:02] <krc> My install is too old, the upgrade tool doesn't work
[18:02] <Anthony-L> ioria: that did it, thank you.
[18:02] <ioria> Anthony-L,  ok
[18:03] <Anthony-L> ioria: how are you sending me direct messages on here? just curious
[18:04] <Anthony-L> i hear a beep.
[18:04] <ioria> Anthony-L,  direct message ? you mean Tab auto-complete  ?
[18:04] <Anthony-L> i think so, like right when you just sent me that message, i heard the beep and your name is in red text.
[18:04] <ioria> Anthony-L,  that depends on your ring settings
[18:05] <Anthony-L> i just want to be able to communicate with you guys better. how are you doing this?
[18:06] <krc4267|ubuntu> *krc is now known as krc4267|ubuntu
[18:06] <krc4267|ubuntu> had 2 clients open by accident
[18:06] <ioria> Anthony-L, you use tab for auto-complete (highlight) and then configure your irc client ...
[18:06] <ioria> Anthony-L, sound settings, depends on your client
[18:07] <MonkeyDust> Anthony-L  type ant and then hit tab to autocomplete
[18:07] <Anthony-L> anth0ny_: did this work?
[18:07] <alkisg> j09: how did you install the flash plugin? it's in partner/proposed in 16.04
[18:08] <ioria> Anthony-L,  for him, i guess so :þ
[18:08] <alkisg> j09: it works fine here for me
[18:08] <j09> alkisg I just installed the pepperflash plugin from the repos.
[18:08] <alkisg> j09: the pepper flash plugin is deprecated
[18:08] <Anthony-L> yea, tab does nothing.
[18:08] <alkisg> j09: install adobe-flashplugin from the parter/proposed repo
[18:08] <alkisg> It includes the pepper plugin
[18:09] <alkisg> j09: deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu xenial-proposed partner
[18:10] <Anthony-L> ?
[18:17] <Remind> What's the update and full upgrade command again? Sorry
[18:18] <MonkeyDust> Remind  sudo apt update;sudo apt full-upgrade
[18:18] <Remind> So sudo apt update && apt full-upgrade ?
[18:19] <Remind> And thank you MonkeyDust :)
[18:19] <MonkeyDust> Remind  semicolon will work too
[18:19] <Remind> Really?? That's awesome!
[18:19] <Remind> I'm such a noob, lmao
[18:19] <alkisg> && will only continue if the first command succeeded
[18:19] <alkisg> ; will continue even if the update failed
[18:20] <alkisg> So && is a bit more safe
[18:20] <hggdh> Remind: semi-colon makes them two independent commands; the '&&' causes the second 'apt' command to *only* be executed if the first one ended without errors
[18:21] <Anthony-L> i'm at the ubuntu install screen. do i select 'download updates while installing ubuntu' and click 'install third party software for graphics and wifi, flash etc'?
[18:22] <alkisg> Anthony-L: yup
[18:22] <Anthony-L> alkisg, thankys
[18:22] <Anthony-L> thanks*
[18:22] <alkisg> :)
[18:23] <Anthony-L> ok, another message, it says 'continue in UEFI mode' ? do i do this?
[18:23] <Anthony-L> i'm doing a fresh format/install.
[18:24] <tgm4883> Anthony-L: if that is 16.04, you should really be asking for support in #ubuntu+1
[18:25] <parsecChar> way OT: I have a usb printer -- is there some usb-wireless plug I can use to make my usb printer wireless ?
[18:28] <ioria> parsecChar,  do you have  a USB port on your wireless router ?
[18:28] <parsecChar> ioria: unfortunately, no

[18:32] <homa> hi my friends
[18:33] <bozsikarmand> Hi! Maybe my question will be a bit off-topic but I have been searching for hours in Google to find a howto/tutorial to configure freeradius but without no luck. I have a soho router in which I have to provide radius server ip, port and password to use WPA2-Enterprise encryption. Also I have a raspberry pi 1st gen as a server with raspbian and freeradius installed. What should I do next?
[18:33] <bozsikarmand> Thanks

[19:00] <fearnothing> hi, got an odd problem with a partition
[19:00] <fearnothing> I've been using a software raid to do something and I no longer want that
[19:01] <fearnothing> so I attached a replacement device, partitioned and formatted, and used rsync to copy all of the mdadm raid volume to the new device
[19:01] <fearnothing> (it was housing splunk)
[19:01] <fearnothing> then I unmounted the raid from its location and mounted the new device in the same place and tested
[19:01] <fearnothing> all the files I wanted were there, and splunk worked
[19:01] <fearnothing> then I rebooted
[19:01] <fearnothing> now there is nothing on the new device
[19:01] <fearnothing> why? what happened?
[19:02] <raddad> can i install ubuntu on a 32 gb usb flash desk
[19:02] <tgm4883> fearnothing: did you tell it to not mount the raid anymore?
[19:02] <fearnothing> tgm4883 - yes, and the raid devices are physically (well, kinda, it's a VM) disconnected
[19:03] <tgm4883> fearnothing: did you tell it to mount the new drive on boot (in /etc/fstab)
[19:03] <fearnothing> not on boot, but I mounted it manually afterwards
[19:03] <tgm4883> fearnothing: so you've  manually mounted it and the dir is empty now?
[19:04] <fearnothing> yup
[19:04] <akik> raddad: yes
[19:04] <tgm4883> fearnothing: if you unmount it, is it still empty?
[19:04] <fearnothing> hmm, when I tell it to unmount, it says it wasn't mounted
[19:04] <fearnothing> yet when I told it to mount, it didn't give me any error
[19:04] <tgm4883> fearnothing: well there's your problem
[19:04] <tgm4883> fearnothing: what command did you use to mount it?
[19:05] <jonascj> UEFI booting with ubuntu, do I need to do anything special or just proceed as normal (i.e. /boot will not have a separate mount point)
[19:05] <fearnothing> mount /dev/sdb1 /storage
[19:05] <tgm4883> fearnothing: and how did you try to unmount?
[19:05] <fearnothing> umount /storage
[19:05] <tgm4883> fearnothing: ok, so mount it again, then do just 'mount' it should tell you what is mounted
[19:06] <fearnothing> sdb1 is not listed, tgm4883
[19:06] <BluesKaj> !UEFI | jonascj
[19:06] <tgm4883> fearnothing: I'm assuming you were using sudo to mount?
[19:06] <fearnothing> I'm currently root
[19:07] <tgm4883> fearnothing: check dmesg for errors
[19:07] <fearnothing> remind me where that's located?
[19:07] <tgm4883> fearnothing: 'dmesg'
[19:08] <fearnothing> oh lol
[19:08] <fearnothing> nope, the most recent messages are "EXT4-fs (sdb1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)"
[19:09] <fearnothing> hmm interesting
[19:09] <fearnothing> if I try to mount it at a different directory, it works
[19:09] <raddad> akik : so what could go wrong, ill search the steps on the internet but if u know tell me about the disadvantages somethings that i shouldn't forget
[19:10] <jonascj> BluesKaj: So an EFI partition which is to be mounted as /boot/efi if partitioning manually
[19:10] <tgm4883> fearnothing: can you pastebin your /etc/fstab
[19:11] <akik> raddad: when i installed kubuntu on a usb stick i just selected the usb stick as the target and selected that grub should be installed to the usb stick
[19:12] <raddad> akik : so it will work when it's plugged like it's installed on the harddisk
[19:13] <raddad> akik : when it's not i will have no linux
[19:13] <fearnothing> tgm4883 - give me a minute, just fixing some permissions
[19:14] <akik> raddad: yes the partition setup will see the usb stick as a /dev/sdX
[19:14] <raddad> akik : does it affect the performance ?
[19:16] <akik> raddad: well it's probably not as fast as your hdd/ssd but it's a way to run linux off a usb stick
[19:18] <raddad> akik : i think with 32 gb 250/120 mbps usb stick that want be a prob.. would it be ?
[19:19] <akik> well how can i know? test it
[19:23] <MiniFridge> How do I get out of a current prompt in Ubuntu? ctrl+q?
[19:23] <MiniFridge> *Ubuntu Server
[19:23] <MiniFridge> It's asking me for a new password and that's not what I wanted to do
[19:23] <fearnothing> tgm4883 - I seem to have solved it, the issue was even though there was nothing mounted at /storage, there was still some kind of a lock on the directory
[19:24] <fearnothing> I think it was trying to mount the old RAID there and failing because the device UUID no longer existed
[19:24] <fearnothing> and that caused the lock, and doing umount /storage wouldn't work because of it
[19:24] <fearnothing> but I replaced the old UUID with the one of the new device and restarted
[19:24] <fearnothing> and now it's fine
[19:24] <fearnothing> does that make sense?
[19:25] <haom> hello, the latest ubuntu kernel update bricked by laptop, is there a way to flag this update so that it isnt pushed to other people with the same hardware?

[19:26] <tgm4883> haom: you'd have to file a bug on launchpad
[19:27] <haom> tgm4883: can you point me to what topic exactly I would have to file the bug for?

[19:40] <EriC^^> how do you delete stuff in vim easily before pasting something?

[19:41] <EriC^^> like if you copy a line with yy, then you go somewhere and you want to delete a part, if you use d or x to delete that part it ends up being in the clipboard instead of what you want to paste

[19:50] <roundduckman> Help, I want to delete chrome, but I can't since it says it can't find chrome being installed.
[19:51] <EriC^^> roundduckman: what command are you trying?
[19:52] <pylotis> Any commands to change folder permission?

[19:54] <tgm4883> roundduckman: it's not installed
[19:54] <roundduckman> not google chrome, even though chrome is in the machine.
[19:54] <roundduckman> I can still launch it
[19:55] <roundduckman> let me try adding the google repos, and see if that fixes it after an update of repositories...
[19:56] <Hell-Razor> For some strange reason, apt is complaining about a repository being in my sources.list thats not actually there. Is there a cache somewhere I can flush to fix the issue?
[19:56] <tgm4883> roundduckman: that wouldn't make any sense. Adding the repos does nothing for the packages that are already installed. How are you launching it?
[19:56] <craptalk> do you know some channel to talk about tor browising?
[19:57] <EriC^^> Hell-Razor: maybe /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* might have something
[19:58] <Hell-Razor> EriC^^ ill take a peak, ty
[19:58] <EriC^^> np
[19:59] <Hell-Razor> Yes there it is. EriC^^, do you have a reason or an idea why apt will save sources in two locations? Seems like it could just cause issues
[19:59] <EriC^^> Hell-Razor: those are for the ppa's
[19:59] <pylotis> I could use some help...
[19:59] <pylotis> beginner stuff..
[20:00] <Hell-Razor> pylotis dont ask to ask, just ask
[20:00] <pylotis> I want to install steam games in a windows partition...
[20:01] <pylotis> And it says that the folder must have "executable permission"...
[20:01] <pylotis> No one one the ubuntu-steam that can help me..."New Steam library must be on a filesystem mounted with execute permissions"
[20:02] <Hell-Razor> pylotis try using chmod
[20:02] <Hell-Razor> oh filesystem
[20:02] <Hell-Razor> nopaste your fstab
[20:02] <pylotis> I have no idea what are you talking about.
[20:03] <fearnothing> pylotis: first time with ubuntu/linux?
[20:03] <pylotis> No, I have some background, but that's over me. xD
[20:03] <Hell-Razor> pylotis nopaste is something to paste online, google it (best way to see what it is, not trying to be an ass). fstab is located in /etc/fstab - copy and "paste" it in the nopaste
[20:03] <Hell-Razor> pylotis, and provide us the link
[20:03] <fearnothing> ^ what I was about to say
[20:03] <fearnothing> man Hell-Razor, you type fast
[20:04] <Hell-Razor> fearnothing It would be faster if I dont try and be proper. Trying to fix the issue of just blabbering on and having horrible punctuation.

[20:22] <roundduckman> tgm4883: remove and start over, I don't want to reinstall
[20:22] <Basstard`> ioria: Yep. I tried the updated one and it works.

[20:26] <tgm4883> Abe_: no, I was just pointing out that while the chrome repo is handled in a similar way as PPAs, they are not the same, and as such, AFAIK you cannot remove non-ppa repos with ppa-purge

[20:27] <tgm4883> Hell-Razor: so I just googled wgetpaste, and that is possibly the worst name for that application, as it makes zero sense. What you probably want is pastebinit, which is much more descriptive

[20:32] <designbybeck_> should I add 15.10 wacom-extras (or what ever that ppa is) before I try to use a Wacom Intous 4 on this setup?
[20:32] <designbybeck_> j09, I just installed the latest Kdenlive on a new 15.10 setup and I noticed it didn't have icons either
[20:33] <j09> It's an old issue. Over 2 years old. designbybeck_
[20:34] <designbybeck_> j09, I had been using 14.04 on my other machines so I'm not sure j09  it was worked fine there with the latest PPA from kdenlive. I just notcied it today on a new, first time to use 15.10 install
[20:34] <new_to_linux> Hi everyone!
[20:34] <j09> It's always happened to me. I just keep forgetting the package.
[20:35] <new_to_linux> I am what my name implies and have a question concerning conky on ubuntu gnome 15.10
[20:36] <tgm4883> j09: what icons?
[20:36] <j09> tgm4883 the application icons. The icons on the program's interface.
[20:36] <Gustavo6046> how do I recover a password?
[20:36] <roundduckman> I'm just gonna reinstall...
[20:37] <Gustavo6046> the tutorial in Google mentions a GRUB promopt
[20:37] <Gustavo6046> but I have no idea what it is
[20:37] <tgm4883> j09: I just installed it and it's got the icon on 15.10, so I'd guess one of these packages http://pastebin.com/vU5VwDnE
[20:38] <Abe_> Gustavo6046: GRUB is your systems Bootloader
[20:38] <j09> tgm4883 ???
[20:38] <ioria> Gustavo6046, can you link the tutorial ? because you can't recover a password, but you can change it
[20:38] <new_to_linux> How do I get conky to work if I have all the packages, got the conky manager, but the graphical output is constantly changing nonsense
[20:38] <Gustavo6046> it says "reset the password"
[20:38] <tgm4883> j09: what is the question? I thought I was pretty clear
[20:38] <Gustavo6046> so how do I change it?
[20:39] <feneco> is there a way to program mouse buttons on ubuntu/
[20:39] <ioria> Gustavo6046, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery
[20:40] <j09> tgm4883 I would like my interface in kdenlive to show icons: https://i.imgur.com/Fjp0bNt.png
[20:41] <MonkeyDust> feneco  start here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MouseCustomizations
[20:41] <Gustavo6046> wait a second
[20:41] <Gustavo6046> the password IS right
[20:41] <feneco> i will check
[20:41] <feneco> thanks MonkeyDust
[20:41] <Gustavo6046> but when I put it, a black screen follows, then the prompt again
[20:41] <Gustavo6046> the login prompt*
[20:41] <tgm4883> j09: ok, so that isn't what it's supposed to look like?
[20:42] <ioria> Gustavo6046, can you login in console ?
[20:42] <Abe_> is conky possible on KDE?
[20:42] <Gustavo6046> it says "Wrong password"
[20:42] <Gustavo6046> but otherwise the password works in the GUI
[20:42] <jushur> Gustavo6046: alt+f2
[20:42] <j09> tgm4883 it's supposed to have toolbar icons. Are you familiar with Kdenlive?
[20:42] <Abe_> should
[20:42] <ioria> Gustavo6046, so, it's not right
[20:42] <tgm4883> j09: I've not used it in a *very* long time
[20:42] <Gustavo6046> any other does "Incorrect password"
[20:42] <Gustavo6046> but the one in particular almost works
[20:42] <Gustavo6046> also the system gives a Critical Error after the login if I put the correct password
[20:43] <Gustavo6046> It doesn't restart for some reason
[20:43] <jushur> Gustavo6046: login on the console, as your user.
[20:43] <tgm4883> j09: ah, you need the oxygen icons
[20:43] <j09> tgm4883 Already installed I think.
[20:43] <Gustavo6046> alt+f2 does not work
[20:43] <Gustavo6046> also Ubuntu is on a VM
[20:43] <Gustavo6046> alt+f2 does nothing*
[20:43] <tgm4883> j09: "oxygen-icon-theme" ?
[20:43] <ioria> Gustavo6046,  console is  ctrl+alt+f1 (or f2)
[20:44] <j09> yes tgm4883
[20:44] <MMarsh> Hello
[20:44] <Gustavo6046> I tried
[20:44] <Gustavo6046> it says "Login incorrect"
[20:44] <Gustavo6046> not "Password incorrect"
[20:44] <fearnothing> is there a good guide anyone can recommend on how to set up limited users for running applications and scripts?
[20:44] <ioria> Gustavo6046,  are you sure about the username ?
[20:44] <tgm4883> j09: pro tip, when an application isn't acting like it should, try starting it from the command line and looking for errors
[20:45] <Gustavo6046> ioria: yes, "Gustavo Ramos Rehermann" is my username as displayed in the GUI (ctrl+alt+f7)
[20:45] <Gustavo6046> above the password bar
[20:46] <j09> tgm4883 https://i.imgur.com/qOnV0Dz.png
[20:46] <ioria> Gustavo6046,  well, i never choose a username with spaces ...
[20:46] <jushur> Gustavo6046: username is not real name.. its hte short name you chose at install.
[20:47] <tgm4883> j09: definitely different than mine. I just installed oxygen and now I've got http://imgur.com/S6n7Tnn
[20:47] <Gustavo6046> i know
[20:47] <Gustavo6046> but I wanted a real name for security
[20:47] <ioria> Gustavo6046,  try Gustavo\ Ramos\ Rehermann
[20:47] <j09> tgm4883 do you know where the kdenlive config files are kept?
[20:47] <tgm4883> can you even make a username with spaces?
[20:47] <jushur> Gustavo6046: you cannot install with a acc name with spaces. if you did it will have errored out.
[20:47] <tgm4883> j09: i don't, somewhere in your home directory I would think
[20:47] <Gustavo6046> it still says "Login Incorrect"
[20:48] <j09> tgm4883 I've been looking for ages but can't seem to find it.
[20:48] <Gustavo6046> I was just booting Ubuntu to find out my IP to fix the internet of my Windows 98 VM, but I guess I'll skip this part
[20:48] <Gustavo6046> not find out my IP* * * * *the VM IP ** * * * **
[20:48] <Gustavo6046> or whatever IP DHConfig gives
[20:50] <fearnothing> is there a good guide anyone can recommend on how to set up limited users for running applications and scripts?
[20:50] <ioria> Gustavo6046,  do you remember exactly what username did you choose ?
[20:50] <j09> tgm4883 I tried removing the config files, but the problem remains
[20:53] <j09> tgm4883 Any other thoughts. I really need to get this program running for work.
[20:55] <ioria> jushur, can you,please, confirm that it's not possible install with a username with spaces ?
[20:55] <j09> Why is Ubuntu so hard :-(
[20:55] <tgm4883> j09: not sure, I'd try googling that error you are getting. Or asking in #ubuntu
[20:55] <tgm4883> err
[20:55] <tgm4883> #kubuntu
[20:56] <j09> tgm4883 I have. No response.
[20:56] <alkisg> ioria: yup, ubiquity doesn't allow it, I think gustavo was talking about his real name, displayed in the panel
[20:56] <ioria> alkisg,  thanks
[20:56] <j09> The irritating thing, is that I know this isn't a difficult problem. I don't even know why everyone's finding it so difficult.
[20:57] <fpn> exit
[20:58] <Abe_> j09: you could also ask in a forum with screens ae.
[20:58] <j09> Abe_ I've done that before. But they don't usually reply.
[20:58] <p3pp3rdog> Jim 2w2
[21:00] <j09> I don't understand why I'm having such a hard time with this.
[21:01] <alkisg> j09: can you summarize the problem?
[21:01] <j09> alkisg I've installed Kdenlive, but the icons are not showing up on the interface https://i.imgur.com/Fjp0bNt.png
[21:04] <Hell-Razor> Is there a PPA to download the kernel sources (for patching and such)? I need to move my / to reiserfs and /home to reiser4
[21:05] <alkisg> j09: google says missing dependencies, try: sudo apt-get install kde-runtime
[21:06] <j09> alkisg Tried that, didn't work. I think it is missing dependencies but I don't know which ones.
[21:06] <fearnothing> can anyone point me towards a guide to making a script run as a daemon please?
[21:14] <poz> Anyone know why my audio would be flickering on and off rapidly? ubuntu 14.04
[21:15] <alkisg> j09: do you have "oxygen-icon-theme" installed?
[21:15] <j09> yes alkisg
[21:21] <EyeA> what is the current Distro called
[21:21] <baloubelix> Can someone tell me if the wifi chipset RTL8814AU is compatible
[21:21] <neonixcoder> good day guys, I am new to Linux. I see many users in /etc/passwd file but I dont see those many in /home directory. I know some of them are system accounts but why they are not present in /home directory.
[21:22] <ImACarrot> Using ubuntu server... does the computer going to sleep save on energy costs? Asking because I'm leaving it on 24/7... kinda like I'm supposed to. Thx a bunch.
[21:23] <MonkeyDust> ImACarrot  suspend saves to ram and costs energy ... hibernate saves to disk and does not cost energy
[21:24] <ImACarrot> if I use suspend or hibernate, could that affect my ability to access the server remotely? I use PuTTY to sign in from my laptop.
[21:25] <MonkeyDust> ImACarrot  there's Wake on Lan (Wol), but when it sleeps you can not access it
[21:25] <MonkeyDust> ImACarrot  your BIOS must be WoL capable
[21:25] <ImACarrot> Oh.
[21:25] <MonkeyDust> (mine isnt)
[21:27] <baloubelix> RTL8814AU ... is it good for Ubuntu?
[21:30] <jushur> j09: do apt-cache show kdenlive
[21:30] <jushur> j09: and check all dependencys manually.
[21:33] <Anthony-L_> what's the command for updates?
[21:33] <Anthony-L_> the software manager isn't updating
[21:34] <j09> jushur I doesn't look like anything's missing.
[21:34] <j09> Boy video editing on Linux is painful. Even today
[21:36] <MiniFridge2> How do I get out of a current prompt in Ubuntu? ctrl+q?
[21:36] <MiniFridge2> For the server, that is
[21:36] <MiniFridge2> Like to get out of it asking me for a password
[21:36] <jushur> j09: you need "kde-workspace-data" to.
[21:37] <j09> kde-workspace-data doesn't exist. I keep trying to say I've already googled for this.
[21:38] <jushur> j09: I see, sec.
[21:40] <j09> I seriously taken back by how bad video editing has gotton on Linux.
[21:41] <fearnothing> are the instructions on the following page applicable to ubuntu? http://www.unix.com/ubuntu/93832-how-can-i-automatically-start-daemon-boot-time.html
[21:41] <jushur> j09: id advice to download the oxygen icon theme. and put it in ~/.icons/
[21:41] <fearnothing> because if so, I've done something wrong, and if not, please could you tell me how I would achieve the equivalent on ubuntu?
[21:41] <fearnothing> also it may be significant that the process I'm trying to run is a python script not bash
[21:42] <j09> jushur Where can I get that from?
[21:43] <jushur> j09: oxygen-icon-theme you have that installed?
[21:43] <j09> jushur its installed from the repos
[21:44] <Anthony-L> what's the command to update to latest drivers?
[21:44] <jushur> j09: rebuilt the icon cache? as it should have told you to do?
[21:44] <j09> jushur What does that mean?
[21:44] <jim> Anthony-L, drivers are generally part of the kernel
[21:45] <Anthony-L> oh, i thought there was an auto-update command.
[21:45] <jim> Anthony-L, is something not working?
[21:45] <Anthony-L> i'm trying to install steam and it won't launch from the application.
[21:46] <jim> so when you say driers, which drivers do you mean? drivers for what?
[21:46] <jushur> j09: sudo gtk-update-icon-cache --force --ignore-theme-index /usr/share/icons/hicolor
[21:47] <j09> jushur No luck, I'm afraid.
[21:47] <jushur> j09: have you relogged after you installed the icon pack?
[21:47] <j09> no, i guess i'll that
[21:50] <xenial> 0
[21:50] <jushur> !xenial | xenial
[21:51] <fearnothing> anyone got any answers for the service thing?
[21:51] <j09> Restarting hasn't sorted it.

[21:57] <uupz> Hello, my Ovilus III kernel won't boot up with the current boot manager.  I installed wyrm WM on the platform but I dont think it installed properly.  Now whenever I boot into operating mode, it asks for my username/login, but the kernel's uid is different each time.  Does anyone know how I can boot up properly so that the SDK will load properly?

[22:00] <exedore6> What’s the stupid question?
[22:01] <salut23111> Im searching wich device my usb key is (i think its /dev/sdb).  I do grep -Ff <(hwinfo --disk --short) <(hwinfo --usb --short
[22:02] <salut23111> )
[22:02] <k1l> salut23111: just look into "sudo parted -l" or dmesg after it is connected
[22:03] <squinty> or Disks
[22:04] <salut23111> cool! it was /dev/sdb
[22:04] <cyberian2> hi i've been having an issue with my wireless NIC in ubuntu 14.04
[22:05] <salut23111> now ill be able to do dd if=/path/to/downloaded.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M
[22:05] <salut23111> this will erase what is on the usb key right?

[22:07] <fearnothing> hi could someone please direct me to some instructions for how to set up a script to run as a service
[22:08] <fearnothing> specifically I want the service to run as a specific user that I've set up as a service account, and I want it to run at boot
[22:08] <fearnothing> not login
[22:08] <fearnothing> search results for this kind of thing are absolutely useless
[22:10] <Ben64> fearnothing: what are you trying to run
[22:11] <cyberian2> i have an intel centrino advanced-n 6200. quite often, the computer will just hang for like 5 seconds and then the wireless connection will drop
[22:11] <salut23111> Ben64 the bootable disk creator on ubuntu doesnt work when i try to erase disk
[22:11] <cyberian2> it won't work until rebooting
[22:11] <cyberian2> after the connection drops, the adapter doesn't show up in the output of `lspci` anymore
[22:13] <fearnothing> Ben64 - a python script I've written

[22:24] <jesuslovesyouthi> I'm runnning 14.04 desktop and have the too small /boot volume issue. Well I neglected the warnings too long I guess and now I can't even purge old kernels --> installation of the newest kernel is triggered whenever an old kernel is purged and there is not enough space to do that, consequently, the entire operation fails and I'm back to square one.  Is there an easy soln to delete the old kernels and make space?

[23:15] <DrSlony> Hello, which is the latest version of GCC available in Ubuntu 12.04?
[23:15] <reisio> DrSlony: does it matter?
[23:15] <kolbasz> hoping it is an easy fix, any thoughts on why chromium font would look terrible in gnome?  loaded same system into a vm and things look OK there.  running on nvidia hardware, seems to be my only issue. stuff just looks grainy and off focus.  my thought is theme/font pack
[23:16] <spooky__> shuttlesworth'll get mad if i use clang instead of gcc
[23:16] <reisio> spooky__: why would he even know
[23:16] <spooky__> he knows
[23:16] <DrSlony> reisio I don't understand why you would ask that? I came here asking about it, so of course it matters to me.
[23:17] <R13ose> How do I get rid of the launcher on the left side and not just hide this?
[23:17] <reisio> kolbasz: http://superuser.com/questions/726132/chrome-33-shows-ugly-blocky-pixelated-fonts-in-linux
[23:17] <xangua> DrSlony: if you cared about the latest, you wouldn't be using Ubuntu 12.04
[23:17] <reisio> R13ose: hide what?
[23:17] <DrSlony> amazing
[23:17] <DrSlony> ubuntu user mentality
[23:17] <DrSlony> did I say I'm using Ubuntu 12.04?
[23:18] <spooky__> i meant bbw
[23:18] <DrSlony> I would prefer an answer to the question instead of this... casual harassment.
[23:18] <reisio> DrSlony: did someone ask if you were?
[23:18] <R13ose> reisio: the launcher, where the app shortcuts are or live when you open them.
[23:18] <reisio> DrSlony: sure, but I'd also prefer an answer to my question
[23:18] <reisio> DrSlony: look at us, we're two peas in a pod
[23:18] <profall> what is the lighest ubuntu for an older laptop?
[23:18] <spooky__> latest version please

[23:19] <profall> ok

[23:19] <dax> DrSlony: 4.6.3
[23:19] <spooky__> my batteries fail to charge the 'regular' way sad face
[23:19] <jushur> profall: lubuntu, or server console install only.
[23:19] <DrSlony> dax thank you
[23:20] <spooky__> i hate bios
[23:21] <R13ose> reisio: How do I remove this?
[23:22] <reisio> R13ose: the launcher on the left side?
[23:22] <profall> How is Lubuntu overall? Does it come with an office suite?
[23:22] <reisio> profall: it's just Ubuntu with LXDE preinstalled and preconfigured
[23:22] <reisio> the distro is the same
[23:22] <R13ose> reisio: Yes, I don't know the exact name.
[23:23] <reisio> profall: few of the popular office suites necessarily depend on GNOME
[23:23] <dreadkopp> i run a linux host for virtualization using qemu+kvm and vga passthrough. is there a way to start linux headlessly? right now i had to attach a small GPU as primary graphics  to stub the others which is just eating power for nothing :/

[23:26] <reisio> R13ose: you want the µTorrent icon to be gone?
[23:26] <R13ose> reisio: the whole panel not just µTorrent
[23:26] <ouroumov> R13ose, you can install gnome-session-fallback
[23:26] <samm_> hi
[23:26] <ouroumov> It'll get rid of the launcher, get you a taskbar instead
[23:26] <dreadkopp> R13ose: use xfce4 or gnome then :)
[23:27] <samm_> need some helping installing windows 7 from memdisk
[23:27] <reisio> R13ose: okay, you want the entire panel gone?
[23:27] <reisio> samm_: memdisk?
[23:27] <samm_> yeah
[23:27] <R13ose> reisio: yes as I installed another one that is nicer.
[23:27] <samm_> http://askubuntu.com/questions/367011/boot-windows-7-iso-from-grub2
[23:27] <samm_> installing it from ram
[23:28] <samm_> "If you happen to have at least 4GB RAM, you can opt to load the whole DVD iso in memdisk and boot off that. "
[23:28] <reisio> R13ose: http://askubuntu.com/questions/38009/how-do-i-remove-the-unity-launcher has a couple solutions
[23:28] <reisio> samm_: so what do you need help with
[23:28] <samm_> is it possible
[23:29] <elky> samm_: that page implies so.
[23:29] <spooky__> 7 days left
[23:29] <spooky__> 3 days 6 days 3 days 2 days
[23:29] <elky> spooky__: until what?
[23:29] <spooky__> 7 days remain 6 days
[23:30] <spooky__> i dont think this is going to work out...
[23:30] <R13ose> thanks everyone
[23:30] <reisio> ...
[23:30] <elky> spooky__: you're confusing us
[23:30] <spooky__> yeah... im the one who's confusing...
[23:31] <elky> spooky__: what is all this 7 days 6 days 3 days about?
[23:31] <spooky__> 3 dats left
[23:31] <spooky__> back to 6 days
[23:31] <elky> spooky__: could you answer my question please?
[23:31] <Myrtti> spooky__: is this about your battery charge, or what?
[23:31] <spooky__> quantified self improvement
[23:31] <spooky__> yeah my battery wont charge because of a bios issue
[23:32] <dax> Okay. How is this related to Ubuntu technical support?
[23:32] <spooky__> i updated bios and that fixed it, but then i factory defaulted my bios and the problem returned
[23:32] <spooky__> its not
[23:32] <reisio> seems like it's clear how you fix it again, then
[23:32] <dax> then don't talk about it in the Ubuntu technical support channel, thanks
[23:32] <spooky__> yeah, install windows!
[23:32] <spooky__> update bios
[23:33] <spooky__> install something else
[23:33] <reisio> oh you want to know how to update the bios without installing Windows?
[23:33] <spooky__> factory default bios
[23:33] <spooky__> start over again
[23:33] <spooky__> that would be helpful yes
[23:33] <elky> spooky__: it's still not something we can help you with. please stop flooding this channel with your rant
[23:33] <dax> Personally my BIOS lets me update using a FAT-formatted USB stick regardless of my host OS. Might be something to look for next time you're in the market for a motherboard.
[23:33] <dax> well, s/BIOS/firmware/, but whatever
[23:33] <reisio> spooky__: if I tell you how, do you promise not to reset it again for reasons unknown? :p
[23:34] <spooky__> msg me
[23:34] <samm_> how old is your motherboard?
[23:34] <reisio> spooky__: etc.: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Flashing_BIOS_from_Linux https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/BIOS_Update
[23:34] <reisio> elky: yeah, couldn't help someone with something on the ubuntu wiki
[23:34]  * reisio rolls eyes
[23:35] <dax> There's a pretty big gap between "how do I update my firmware on Ubuntu" and "here's a live feed of my battery status"
[23:36] <dax> and for what it's worth, looking at that page I'm not seeing a whole lot of Ubuntu technical support on it, so sure, it's offtopic for #ubuntu
[23:36] <EmeraldZebra44> fuck u
[23:36] <reisio> not big enough for me to not be able to figure it out, apparently :p
[23:36] <elky> EmeraldZebra44: no thanks. do you have a support question
[23:37] <elky> reisio: you couldn't figure out a gcc version before so don't start.
[23:37]  * dax sighs
[23:37] <reisio> elky: wha? :p
[23:37] <EmeraldZebra44> fuck u
[23:37] <dax> about time to move swiftly onwards, methinks
[23:38] <michael_> #debian
[23:39] <xangua>  Debian is the bow of the Ubuntu arrow :-)
[23:41] <samm_>  search -f "--set-root /Winblows.iso" does this line search for the iso on my pc?
[23:42] <elky> you might want to avoid something named winblows.iso...
[23:42] <squinty> sudo updatedb && locate <filename>
[23:42] <reisio> samm_: it searches, yes
[23:43] <reisio> samm_: you can also just say explicitly where it is
[23:44] <ubuntu-mate> hi ubuntu boys
[23:45] <reisio> hi mate guy
[23:52] <exedore6> Does #ubuntu block certain irc clients? When I connect from my phone, I’m banned, but not from my computer.
[23:53] <sam__-phone> hm
[23:53] <sam__-phone> that didnt work
[23:53] <R13ose> How do I make the messages that popup in unity clickable so they go to where they are coming from?
[23:54] <xangua> R13ose: install xfce notifications and remove unity ones....hmmm don't recall how are they called
[23:55] <Myrtti> exedore6: more likely that it is your service provider that's blocked in one way or another. do you get an error message and can you join other channels?
[23:55] <reisio> xfce4-notifyd, notification-daemon
[23:55] <jpt9> Quick question -- I'm running Xubuntu 15.10.  Will it be possible to upgrade to Xubuntu 16.04 when it comes out?
[23:55] <Myrtti> yes
[23:55] <exedore6> Myrtti: Yes, I can join other channels, including other ubuntu channels.
[23:55] <spooky__> yes
[23:55] <spooky__> the answer to your next question ... is NO
[23:55] <dax> exedore6: we'd need the IP address of your phone to answer that
[23:56] <spooky__> its a trap
[23:56] <exedore6> Yeah, wasn’t born yesterday
[23:56] <jpt9> Myrtti: (Was that yes for me, or someone else?)
[23:56] <dax> exedore6: well, that's what 90% of our channel bans are done by, so *shrug*
[23:57] <exedore6> dax if I’m banned by IP, I’d be banned now too.
[23:57] <exedore6> The x-factor is the client.
[23:57] <dax> exedore6: ah, I assumed you meant cellular data, not wifi
[23:58] <spooky__> lol
[23:58] <exedore6> Though it seems to work right now.
[23:58] <exedore6> Because I’m n32129
[23:58] <SchrodingersScat> !banevasion
[23:58] <exedore6> and apparently dyslecic
[23:58] <yottabyte> hey y'all I installed ubuntu with the live usb, dual boot with windows 8, but when I booted into windows 8 the grub menu disappeared and it goes into windows automatically now
[23:58] <yottabyte> I'm downloading boot-repair-disk right now, but will this happen every time I choose to boot into windows?
[23:59] <yottabyte> booting into ubuntu worked and still made grub appear the next boot
[23:59] <exedore6> SchrodingersScat: Pretty sure I’m not actually banned.
