[00:00] <victor_> EriC^^,
[00:03] <new0> is .tar.gz really compress the file by 10%
[00:03] <new0> or 90%
[00:03] <new0> of the file original size
[00:04] <EriC^^> new0: it depends on what you're compressing
[00:04] <victor_> EriC^^, I mean, how can i change the transparency of the panel?
[00:05] <EriC^^> if you want a really good compression ratio go with 7z or bzip2
[00:06] <humbot> ratio will depend on the complexity of the actual file though
[00:06] <EriC^^> victor_: through unity-tweak-tool http://askubuntu.com/questions/70910/how-can-i-adjust-the-transparency-of-the-status-bar-top-panel
[00:07] <victor_> EriC^^, oh sorry, i was talking about the one from the login screen
[00:07] <EriC^^> victor_: try opening unity-tweak-tool as lightdm
[00:07] <victor_> oh yeah!
[00:07] <victor_> will try
[00:13] <circuitpirate> hi, how would i get my ALC1150 Realtek audio to work in ubuntu? right now it is only going through hdmi
[00:19] <rigel> i have a networking question
[00:22] <rigel> new wireless card on a desktop rrunning trusty. ath9k drivers are loaded. ifconfig -a shows the device as wlan0 with the appropriate MAC. ifup will not bring it up, "Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0." lshw shows it as "*-network DISABLED"
[00:23] <rigel> im not seeing anything i recognize as an error message in syslog, dmesg, kern.log
[00:36] <NoNameGiven> Connecting to my ssh server through my laptop... how do I check what the ssh key is supposed to be on my server just to be sure there is no security breach?
[00:41] <NoNameGiven> Basically what I want to do is verify that I'm connected to my server because when I tried to connect I received this: http://pastebin.com/8LbW3A6U
[00:52] <Moseco> Anyone here know how to get glpk working with python?
[00:52] <ouroumov> NoNameGiven, this usually happens when you connect using the same IP to different machines.
[00:53] <ouroumov> Reason for this might be you're using the same local, private IP in more than one LAN.
[00:54] <NoNameGiven> Well... I reinstalled Ubuntu Server on a different HDD and that same HDD is in the same tower... so it's using the same internal IP address.
[00:54] <ouroumov> Example both at my lab and in my home my laptop is connected by cable to my AP. Because I use the "shared connection" setting given by Ubuntu the local AP has IP 10.42.0.1 in both location and when I connect using ssh I see that warning often.
[00:55] <NoNameGiven> Oh.
[00:55] <ouroumov> NoNameGiven, if it's a new install then there's a new host key generated.
[00:55] <ouroumov> Which also explains it.
[00:55] <NoNameGiven> ok... but how would I verify?
[00:56] <ouroumov> The host key is generated during openssh-server initial configuration after install. To check the host key is correct you can connect physically on your server using tty1 for instance, and check the ssh config files.
[00:59] <ouroumov> NoNameGiven, when you go to /etc/ssh you'll see a number of key files.
[00:59] <NoNameGiven> ok... I see them... which one do I check?
[01:00] <ouroumov> check your private key files using ssh-keygen -lf <file>, this will print the fingerprint, then you can check the ssh-client show the same fingerprint
[01:01] <ouroumov> NoNameGiven, on my current machine it's the ECDSA 256 key, your config might be different.
[01:03] <NoNameGiven> Oh I see it.
[01:08] <NoNameGiven> Alright... the keys look the same.
[01:09] <gallo_mobile> hi i'm currently on a mac and builing a NAS. I'd like to make a bootble USB drive for ubuntu server 14.
[01:09] <ouroumov> NoNameGiven, so you can go ahead and execute the command to remove the previous key on the client.
[01:09] <gallo_mobile> what I've found seems to be how to make a bootabele USB ON mac FOR a mac
[01:10] <ouroumov> gallo_mobile, open a terminal and see if you have the "dd" command.
[01:10] <NoNameGiven> Oh wait... in .ssh/known_hosts, is there supposed to be 2 keys?
[01:10] <NoNameGiven> :|
[01:10] <gallo_mobile> standby
[01:11] <ouroumov> NoNameGiven, I don't know I have 23 keys in mine.
[01:11] <ouroumov> (and 131 on my laptop)
[01:12] <gallo_mobile> yes i do
[01:12] <Anthony-L> sudo cp /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us
[01:12] <ouroumov> gallo_mobile, next see if you have the "df" command by typing "df -h" in the terminal
[01:12] <Anthony-L> why doesn't that work for me?
[01:13] <ouroumov> Because cp command takes two arguments Anthony-L
[01:13] <gallo_mobile> standby
[01:13] <ouroumov> cp <source> <destination>
[01:13] <gallo_mobile> i do
[01:13] <ouroumov> ok gallo_mobile. Here's the procedure.
[01:15] <ouroumov> You have to issue the commands : "dd if=your.iso of=/dev/sdX && sync" where /dev/sdx is the device corresponding to your usb drive. (On my current machine it's /dev/sdc for instance)
[01:15] <ouroumov> Be Extremely careful with that command.
[01:15] <ouroumov> Identify the correct /dev/sdx using "df" while your USB drive is plugged in.
[01:16] <ouroumov> If you use the wrong /dev/sdx you will nuke your hard drive's partitions.
[01:16] <Anthony-L> that sounds horrible.
[01:16] <ouroumov> It is.
[01:16] <ouroumov> I've done it. It is a pain in the lower orifice.
[01:19] <gallo_mobile> ouroumov: if its eaier for you paste or gist and a link would do.
[01:19] <gallo_mobile> anyone here using weechat ?
[01:20] <ouroumov> gallo_mobile, but I can't know what /dev/sdx it is on your machine so you've gotta find that out yourself and adapt the dd command
[01:20] <rigel> new wireless card on a desktop running trusty. ath9k drivers are loaded. ifconfig -a shows the device as wlan0 with the appropriate MAC. ifup will not bring it up, "Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0." lshw shows it as "*-network DISABLED"
[01:20] <rigel> im not seeing anything i recognize as an error message in syslog, dmesg, kern.log
[01:21] <snowgoggles> ouroumov:  might be better to have  gallo_mobile  pastebin the df output and formulate the command for him
[01:21] <ouroumov> Oh right, do that please gallo_mobile.
[01:22] <Bashing-om> Anthony-L: dd == (d)isk (d)estroyer; verry powerfull and unforgiving of any mistake , Does what it is told . It is very important that the target and destination be indentified positivly before hitting that enter key !
[01:22] <Anthony-L> bashing-om, unrepairable?
[01:23] <gallo_mobile> https://gist.github.com/anonymous/27639091bf8afd82b319
[01:23] <Anthony-L> er, irreparable?
[01:23] <Bashing-om> Anthony-L: Takes lots and lots of money - 'dd' writes over all .
[01:24] <ouroumov> Right, except snowgoggles I can't read that MAC output. xD which volume is your USB stick gallo_mobile?
[01:24] <gallo_mobile> /dev/disk2s4   9.9Gi   36Mi  9.9Gi     1%    9252   2585919    0%   /Volumes/Untitled
[01:25] <ouroumov> gallo_mobile, please paste output of "lsblk"
[01:25] <snowgoggles> ouroumov: looks to be the untitled listing 9.9GB
[01:25] <gallo_mobile> command not found
[01:27] <ouroumov> damn, gallo_mobile the way I read your df output the target would be /dev/disk2 and both /Volumes/Install OS X El Capitan and /Volumes/Untilted are on your USB stick?
[01:29] <gallo_mobile> partitioned stik as a bootinstall disk for os x captian for my macs to be recovered when/if necessary and the Untitled is a empty spot for ubuntu as its a 32GB USB drive
[01:29] <gallo_mobile> https://gist.github.com/elgallo/5b2fe2007eb8088d2260#file-diskutil-bash
[01:29] <snowgoggles> gallo_mobile: that stick won't work
[01:30] <ouroumov> yeah, you need another USB stick
[01:30] <ouroumov> The dd command is brutal, and needs exclusive use of a given USB stick
[01:30] <Anthony-L> i could use some help doing this, http://askubuntu.com/questions/127167/how-do-i-enable-scroll-lock
[01:30] <Anthony-L> the third answer, which is the permanent solution
[01:31] <gallo_mobile> standby gonna wipe the USB stick
[01:31] <freshman> oh
[01:32] <freshman> Anybody here?
[01:32] <reisio> freshman: 1,747 bodies
[01:32] <Anthony-L> haha
[01:32] <reisio> 1,748*

[01:32] <freshman> where are you come from
[01:33] <reisio> freshman: dark side of moon
[01:33] <reisio> SchrodingersScat: he just typed that
[01:33] <Anthony-L> anyone on my solution?
[01:35] <SchrodingersScat> !details | Anthony-L
[01:35] <cfhowlett> freshman, this is ubuntu support.  stay on topic and ask your ubuntu question. chitchat in #ubuntu-offtopic.  thank you.
[01:36] <Anthony-L> i could use some help doing this, http://askubuntu.com/questions/127167/how-do-i-enable-scroll-lock
[01:36] <Anthony-L> third answer, permanent solution
[01:38] <lsaarge> hey all i have problems with screen resolution and nvidia... i cant set it up system wide... i have to change it after each restart, how can i solve this?
[01:39] <reisio> have to change it how?
[01:40] <lsaarge> well ive installed nvidia drivers, after that i can change resolution of ym screen but lightdm does not use that resolution and after i log in my screen resolution falls back to previous default resolution
[01:44] <Anthony-L> i could use some help doing this, http://askubuntu.com/questions/127167/how-do-i-enable-scroll-lock
[01:44] <Guest95029> Can someone please help me, I've installed Windows 10 and Zorin on a relatively new laptop (windows 8, uefi, I've already disabled secure boot) I've tried running boot-repair but when I retsart the computer Windows 10 boots every time
[01:44] <Anthony-L> pretty lost with the 3rd answer
[01:44] <cfhowlett> Guest95029, wrong channel.  ubuntu support only here.  ask zorin to support their OS
[01:46] <Anthony-L> i guess no one is clicking my link... :(
[01:46] <cfhowlett> !patience | Anthony-L
[01:46] <Bashing-om> Anthony-L: I did look, with no details as to the issue, I have nothing to add .
[01:47] <reisio> Anthony-L: what's 'xev' say when you press the scroll lock key?
[01:48] <Anthony-L> sorry guys
[01:49] <Anthony-L> reisio, i was aiming for the third answer.
[01:49] <Anthony-L> the permanent solution.
[01:49] <Anthony-L> i've done it before, i just forget how to get to the symbols file.
[01:49] <Anthony-L> sudo cp /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us{,.distribution}
[01:49] <snowgoggles> Anthony-L:  the webpage you provided looks to be a jumbled mess of a solution
[01:50] <Anthony-L> snowgoggles, the third answer is correct.
[01:50] <Anthony-L> i just don't remember how to get into the symbols file to edi tit.
[01:50] <Anthony-L> edit it*
[01:51] <donught> hi, in my chat bar for hexchat, when active, is a bright blue and i cannot read the text I type. I am pretty sure it is a color of my GTK theme. how would i go changing the color of the box?
[01:53] <snowgoggles> Anthony-L:  if youre needing assistance to edit that file...i'm concerned you'll break the file or possibly some other file....this does'nt look like an elegant solution
[01:54] <Bashing-om> Anthony-L: So, what is your set system language ? edit the related file in the suggested directory .
[01:54] <SchrodingersScat> Anthony-L: k, that's more helpful, you can try nano, might need sudo if your user doesn't have permissions.
[01:54] <Anthony-L> system lang is English
[01:55] <snowgoggles> Anthony-L:  better make a backup copy of it before direct editing a system file
[01:55] <Anthony-L> when i put in ' /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nl ' permission denied
[01:56] <Anthony-L> snowgoggles, i understand. i just need to get to the file first.
[01:56] <snowgoggles> Anthony-L:  ok...so youre on nl instead of us as the instructions are providing on that page.....be careful...make a backup
[01:57] <Anthony-L> sudo cp /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us
[01:57] <Anthony-L> i can't open that either
[01:58] <snowgoggles> sudo cp the file by entering in terminal  sudo cp /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nl /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nl.bak
[01:59] <Anthony-L> ok
[01:59] <Anthony-L> did it
[01:59] <Anthony-L> now how do i open it?
[02:02] <snowgoggles> sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nl
[02:03] <snowgoggles> Anthony-L:  keep in mind...i'm not officially supporting this
[02:03] <snowgoggles> Anthony-L:  it's your idea...not mine
[02:03] <andy__> Anyone know how to browse through efi to find bootable part of a sdcard?
[02:03] <Anthony-L> thank you, i'd rather do this on the gui. do you know how i could open it?
[02:04] <snowgoggles> Anthony-L:  you have gedit installed?
[02:04] <snowgoggles> Anthony-L:  you'll need gksudo installed as well
[02:04] <Anthony-L> oh
[02:05] <Anthony-L> no,
[02:05] <Anthony-L> i edited it. how do i save now?
[02:06] <snowgoggles> in nano ctrl+o to overwrite then ctrl+x to exit nano editor
[02:06] <Anthony-L> let me restart
[02:07] <reisio> Anthony-L: it actually says at the bottom of nano all the commands
[02:07] <snowgoggles> Anthony-L:  the instructions say to rebuild the cache file before restart
[02:07] <reisio> where ^ is CTRL, IIRC
[02:09] <andy__> Can anyone help me? I installed ubuntu on a eMMC but everytime the system boots it stays in efi shell.
[02:09] <cfhowlett> !uefi | andy__
[02:10] <andy__> The problem is it ionly shows blk0~3 and I mounted them as different locations but I still didn't see anything with ls or dir
[02:12] <lawrence> please how can i add refresh to my right click options
[02:20] <Guest87247> buenas buenas noches, dias, tardes
[02:20] <cfhowlett> !es | Guest87247
[02:20] <Guest87247> thanks
[02:37] <lucas-arg> friends please this is making me bad, cant configure screen resolution system wide with nvidia drivers
[02:40] <donught> is xrandr available for Nvidia?
[02:42] <minimec> lawrence: There was a python script for nautilus. Maybe this still works. http://askubuntu.com/questions/343719/how-to-get-a-refresh-right-click-action
[02:42] <Geo> and last other quick question - all users are set up with ssh-keys only, no passwords. Can I still use dovecot to allow IMAP email access? (and how?)
[02:43] <lucas-arg> i use nvidia-xconfig to create a xorg.conf file then i edited wiht gksudo nvidia-settings save changes to xorg.conf but the system does what it please
[02:44] <minimec> lawrence: I would rather use the 'easystroke' software and create a mouse gesture for 'refresh' and use the refresh command of the given software (probably F5) and apply it to that mouse gesture.
[02:50] <piezas> ol

[03:13] <cjen2837> hi. so i read ubuntu doesn't use xmodmap anymore, that it was replaced with xkb. but all the tutoruals for remapping a key on the keyboard use xmodmap. does anyone know how i can remap one key for another if i know their keycodes?
[03:14] <rimdeker> Can someone help me with parted? Anybody here perhaps have an idea how to create an "mmcblk0boot1" using parted?
[03:14] <reisio> cjen2837: I'm pretty sure it always and continues to use either
[03:14] <reisio> rimdeker: what for?
[03:15] <Bashing-om> cjen2837: Have you seen : http://madduck.net/docs/extending-xkb/ ?
[03:15] <cjen2837> reisio, xmodmap command still is there, but it didn't work when i tried: xmodmap -e "keycode 127 = 2"
[03:15] <cjen2837> the menu key doesn't act like the number 1 after running that command
[03:16] <cjen2837> Bashing-om, i'll check it out
[03:16] <reisio> cjen2837: what're you trying to do?
[03:17] <cjen2837> reisio, my number 1 key on the keyboard is dead, and i don't want to buy another keyboard. so i'm trying to get another key to act as 1
[03:17] <cjen2837> like the Menu key, or right control
[03:18] <rimdeker> reisio: Writing a script to partition (m)SD cards
[03:18] <reisio> chances are buying another keyboard would require less money/time :D
[03:18] <cjen2837> really? it's that complicated and expensive to use xmodmap?
[03:18] <cjen2837> doesnt linux have any easy way to remap keys
[03:19] <reisio> cjen2837: no, but keyboards are that cheap
[03:19] <reisio> cjen2837: what makes you think it's 127?
[03:19] <cjen2837> Bashing-om, so i need to give it my laptop model?
[03:20] <cjen2837> reisio, showkey
[03:20] <reisio> rimdeker: parted -a optimal -s /dev/foo mklabel msdos; parted -a optimal -s mkpart primary ext4 0% 2% (etc.)
[03:21] <Bashing-om> cjen2837: I can not see how nor recall how the model would -play into resetting a key code .
[03:21] <cjen2837> reisio, i live far away from any computer shops
[03:21] <cjen2837> Bashing-om, in the link you sent he did setxkbmap -model thinkpad
[03:22] <Bashing-om> cjen2837: Read further down best I recall .
[03:23] <reisio> cjen2837: you live far form a mailbox?
[03:23] <reisio> cjen2837: what's xev say it is?
[03:23] <reisio> "keycode #"
[03:23] <cjen2837> reisio, yes
[03:23] <cjen2837> xev says it is keycode 135, but xmodmap says incorrect key when i try that
[03:23] <rimdeker> reisio: That simply cretates /dev/mmcblk0p1
[03:24] <cjen2837> when i use the value that showkey gives, it doesn't give an error
[03:25] <reisio> rimdeker: so?
[03:25] <cjen2837> i tried the xev codes. xmodmap -e 'keycode 135 = 10'   still didn't have any effect
[03:25] <cjen2837> although no error
[03:25] <rimdeker> reisio: creates* , I need /dev/mmcblk(d+)boot(\d+) basically , like this: http://s28.postimg.org/4bi6oper1/partition.jpg
[03:26] <reisio> cjen2837: try the 0x value, then
[03:26] <reisio> rimdeker: can't imagine why
[03:27] <cjen2837> reisio, can you tell me what xev says your '1' key value is? maybe i'm just not doing it right because that key is dead and i'm trying on the other laptop
[03:27] <cjen2837> it says 2 is 11, so i guessed 1 is 10
[03:29] <cjen2837> i just tried the x values. no error, but still didn't work
[03:30] <cjen2837> you know what's weird. the menu key doesn't work as its normal function now. so it has been remapped to something
[03:30] <cjen2837> it now says "no name" in xev
[03:31] <reisio> cjen2837: it's '10' for me
[03:31] <cjen2837> reisio, now both my menu and 1 keys don't work lol
[03:31] <reisio> heh
[03:32] <reisio> what's xev say the keycode for your '2' key is2?
[03:32] <reisio> heh
[03:33] <cjen2837> 2 says keycode 11, and keysym 0x32, 2
[03:33] <cjen2837> but now 1 says "keycode 10 (keysym 0x87, (no name))
[03:33] <reisio> '1' should be keycode 10, then
[03:34] <reisio> cjen2837: you wanted the context menu key to send '1'?
[03:34] <cjen2837> i just tried mapping right control to 1 and broke that too
[03:34] <cjen2837> great
[03:34] <cjen2837> reisio, yes
[03:34] <reisio> so what's xev say the context menu key is?
[03:35] <cjen2837> it says it is keycode 135
[03:36] <cjen2837> so i did xmodmap -e 'keycode 10 = 135'
[03:36] <reisio> then you'd want: setxkbmap -layout us; xmodmap -e 'keycode 135 = 1'
[03:37] <cjen2837> reisio, hey! now the context menu is back to context menu and 1 is back to (broken) 1
[03:38] <cjen2837> wait it worked
[03:38] <cjen2837> awesome!
[03:38] <reisio> :D
[03:38] <cjen2837> whatever key 35 is is broken now lol
[03:38] <cjen2837> i had a typo the first time
[03:38] <reisio> shouldn't be
[03:38] <reisio> setxkbmap -layout us; xmodmap -e 'keycode 135 = 1'
[03:38] <reisio> the -layout part "resets" previous things
[03:38] <snowgoggles> wow...what's going on in here?
[03:38] <cjen2837> oh cool
[03:39] <cjen2837> reisio, thanks so much
[03:39] <reisio> snowgoggles: nuttin' honey
[03:39] <reisio> cjen2837: so you should be able to add that to an autostart, or ~/.xmodmaprc (or whatever that file is named), etc.
[03:39] <snowgoggles> keyboard remapping?  should use dconf editor
[03:41] <cjen2837> snowgoggles, i have that . it works from there too?
[03:42] <snowgoggles> at this hey location org.gnome.desktop.input-sources.xkb-options
[03:43] <cjen2837> snowgoggles, how would i remap the context menu key to be 1 in there like reisio did. right now it just says xkb-options []
[03:43] <cjen2837> could i just put that statement in there? setxkbmap -layout us; xmodmap -e 'keycode 135 = 1'
[03:44] <reisio> cjen2837: did you not try it?
[03:44] <snowgoggles> you have to add a new rule to the list....haven't done it in awhile...lets look it up
[03:44] <cjen2837> i already got it working with yours so don't want to mess anything up
[03:44] <cjen2837> but i'll try putting it in there
[03:45] <reisio> no harm knowing other ways, but also, again: xmodmap is fine
[03:46] <snowgoggles> oh...i have a visitor ....look up org.gnome.desktop.input-sources.xkb-options remap key
[03:46] <cjen2837> thanks
[03:48] <cjen2837> if i wanted to type a "!" do i need to remap another key to that

[04:17] <hwhite> I was trying to upgrade to 15.10, and somehow something went wrong. Trying "apt-get install -f", "apt-get upgrade", and "apt-get dist-upgrade" all result in a bunch of dependency errors, and "dpkg --configure -a" tells me that "Processing was halted because there were too many errors."
[04:19] <lomD> my ubuntu crashses at times while playing videos
[04:19] <lomD> the screen just freezes and i am forced to restart....what to do?
[04:20] <lomD> i am using ubuntu 15.10
[04:21] <Bashing-om> hwhite: What release were you upgrading from ?
[04:23] <hwhite> Bashing-om: I think Saucy, but I'm not positive
[04:23] <hwhite> Maybe Trusty? I'm not sure if there's a way to check
[04:23] <Bashing-om> !eol | hwhite
[04:24] <Bashing-om> hwhite: ^ did you follow the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades guide ?
[04:25] <hwhite> I followed a guide somewhere that mentioned using "do-release-upgrade", so probably not that one
[04:26] <Bashing-om> hwhite: Then, does " old-releases.ubuntu.com " ring a bell ?
[04:26] <xangua> hwhite: sounds like you manually replaced your source list file, did you? Or was it the update manager that offer you to upgrade to 15.10?
[04:26] <hwhite> I did it manually
[04:26] <hwhite> Bashing-om: It does not
[04:27] <xangua> hwhite: well, that was the problem...backup and reinstall
[04:28] <Bashing-om> hwhite: Concur with xangua . the system is in such a disarray that will never have any confidence in it .
[04:29] <hwhite> No way to reverse the installation?
[04:30] <hwhite> Unfortunately my computer has issues booting off of USB, which complicates things
[04:30] <Bashing-om> hwhite: The finger of fate writes, and them moves on; there is no going back .
[04:31] <meskes> Ugh. I really should be firing up Word, and finishing my resume update.
[04:31] <meskes> But I'm procrastinating.
[04:32] <hwhite> I take it there's no way I can avoid having to get a boot disc or USB?
[04:32] <meskes> You could PXE boot it, but that's a LOT of work for a simple one time install
[04:33] <Geo> Hi, all my host users are set up to use ssh keys, no passwords. How can I enable them to check mail via IMAP on dovecot (as they have no passwords to login to email with)?
[04:33] <ecaballero> Hi!
[04:34] <hwhite> And then when I do the installation from a live CD, will it backup my files and programs, or would I be forced to do it myself?
[04:34] <Bashing-om> hwhite: If ya really realy need to salvage this install .. will be very messy and take a long time to even find out what is possible. I am burned out this session but if you want and no other is willing to take this situation on .. I will be back fresh in about 16 hours or so .
[04:57] <lotuspsychje> someone knows a package to run on an ubuntu store computer, to sell things?

[05:15] <cjen2837> hey anyone know the location of the openvpn config file?
[05:15] <lotuspsychje> !vpn | cjen2837 maybe some info here?
[05:16] <lotuspsychje> cjen2837: config files can also be found in your /home hidden dir (ctrl h)
[05:17] <cjen2837> ok that link didn't help since i dont use networkmanager but wicd
[05:18] <cjen2837> i dont see any openvpn folders in my home dir or .config
[05:19] <lotuspsychje> cjen2837: how about you ask in #openvpn?
[05:20] <cjen2837> lotuspsychje, i can't join there since i'm not registered
[05:20] <cjen2837> and dont have email access right now

[05:31] <Mia> Hey all, I'm using ubuntu gnome, and wondering if it's possible to do global menu in ubuntu gnome (lke this one http://i.stack.imgur.com/73aX2.png)
[05:32] <xangua> Mia: no
[05:32] <Mia> I'va sked the same question in #ubuntu-gnome as well but this place has much more people so yeah
[05:32] <Mia> xangua, oh...
[05:32] <Mia> :( that's bad
[05:32] <Mia> I don't like unity interface but the one thing I need is not there in gnome :(
[05:32] <xangua> Mia: that's the old gnome 2 global menu, third party program
[05:33] <Mia> yeah well was wondering if there is any alternative for that for gnome3
[05:33] <xangua> Mia:  mate desktop (fork out GNOME 2) has a global menu plugin, I think you can use it on xfce as well
[05:34] <Mia> I odn2t like mate :(
[05:34] <Mia> gnome 3 is nice
[05:34] <Mia> I actually like unity as well but I don't likethe app menu --
[05:34] <Mia> and I was unable to find real customization for unity
[05:34] <Mia> I mean thee is unity tweak tool but it's very limited
[05:34] <Mia> (maybe I'm missing something here)
[05:34] <xangua> So you like unity, but you don't like unity global menu?
[05:35] <Mia> no it's just the opposite. I like unity but I don't like that it's not as customisable as gnome 3
[05:35] <Mia> I like unity, I like it's global top bar menu, but I don't like the overall look and feel about it (such as the bar at left, or the programs menu that opens up as a part of the bar at left)
[05:36] <Mia> and I couldn't find much customisation options
[05:40] <lotuspsychje> Mia: then hide the leftbar?
[05:40] <lotuspsychje> Mia: and install docky at bottom or so, make it look like a gnome
[05:41] <Mia> lotuspsychje, oh where can I install extensions for ubuntu unity
[05:41] <Mia> for gnome they have this nice extensions.gnome.com
[05:41] <Mia> I was unable to find a simialr system for unity
[05:42] <lotuspsychje> Mia: what kind of extensions do you mean
[05:42] <Mia> all sorts
[05:42] <Mia> I like to try them out
[05:42] <lotuspsychje> Mia: you need to be specific on unity, like top bar indicators?
[05:42] <svm_invictvs> Getting this trying to mount NFS
[05:42] <svm_invictvs> mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking
[05:43] <daxcat> install nfs-common
[05:43] <Mia> lotuspsychje, overall, is there a list whee I can see what is available
[05:43] <daxcat> rpc.statd is a daemon that's in that package
[05:43] <Mia> I know a few things I need, such as the drop down terminal,
[05:43] <daxcat> (disclaimer: i know practically nothing about NFS, just remember that package existing)
[05:44] <Mia> but more than that I really like to be able to customize how my os looks
[05:44] <lotuspsychje> Mia: apt-cache search indicator
[05:44] <Mia> what's this
[05:44] <lotuspsychje> Mia: there is docky, conky,unity themes,..all sorts to customize
[05:44] <xangua> Mia: just install guake?
[05:44] <xangua> ! Info guake
[05:45] <xangua> !info guake
[06:06] <Mia> where should I install themes for ubuntu
[06:07] <lotuspsychje> !themes | Mia
[06:12] <Mia> lotuspsychje, they're mostly kde or gnome
[06:15] <lotuspsychje> Mia: unity can handle gtk themes
[06:15] <Mia> Oh, I didn't know!
[06:15] <lotuspsychje> Mia: maybe this can help: http://itsfoss.com/how-to-install-themes-in-ubuntu-13-10/
[06:15] <Mia> thanks!
[06:18] <lotuspsychje> Mia: and there is also ccsm to tweak unity if you like
[06:19] <xangua> Just don't disable the unity plugin
[06:19] <lotuspsychje> :p
[06:20] <Mia> :)
[06:24] <lotuspsychje> Mia: deviantart.com ubuntu user screenshots are also very handy, as they describe how they done it, what they used,..
[06:25] <Mia> lotuspsychje, which category is that? can you sned me a link
[06:26] <lotuspsychje> Mia: http://www.deviantart.com/browse/all/?q=ubuntu
[06:27] <Mia> -____-
[06:27] <lotuspsychje> Mia: you can lookup whatever keywords you need, ubuntu + conky or whatever you try to obtain
[06:29] <lotuspsychje> Mia: user desktops are under customization/desktop screenshots
[06:29] <Mia> thanks!
[06:32] <anes> I got error in package creation as : dpkg-source: error: source package format '3.0 (quit)' is not supported: Can't locate Dpkg/Source/Package/V3/Quit.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Dpkg::Source::Package::V3::Quit module)
[06:33] <anes> How it fix ? please advise
[06:33] <lotuspsychje> anes: can you explain what you are doing please?
[06:34] <daxcat> anes: did you try the typo fix that i already suggested
[06:34] <anes> lotuspsychje: I am creating a .deb package from .tar.gz
[06:34] <daxcat> lotuspsychje: they're making a .deb package on Ubuntu 15.10. They already asked in #debian.
[06:34] <lotuspsychje> daxcat: ok tnx for the headsup
[06:35] <anes> yea exactly
[06:35] <daxcat> 06:26 < daxcat> did you typo quilt as quit somewhere
[06:35] <daxcat> 06:26 < daxcat> possibly debian/source/format
[06:35] <anes> yes
[06:36] <anes> daxcat: that file include text as : 3.0 (quit)
[06:36] <daxcat> anes: so fix it by changing the quit to quilt
[06:36] <anes> daxcat: sure
[06:37] <anes> daxcat: thanks it work well
[06:55] <ilu> hi
[06:55] <ilu> am new here
[06:57] <lotuspsychje> ilu: welcome, you have joined the ubuntu support channel

[07:00] <newbie008> Greetings, does anyone have a solution for this? I'm burning a bunch of CDs for a roadtrip. I'musing sound-juicer to get the metadata. However many of these are not in the database it's using. ... blah blah... I've got two windows open. One with a list of CD track names and a second with sound-juicer (which exposes a series of textboxes). I'm having to repeatedly alt-tab, down, end, shift+home, ctrl+c,al
[07:00] <newbie008> t-tab, down enter, ctrl+v, enter (repeat). Any better solution for this?
[07:01] <ilu> lotuspsychje: thanks am tryingto look for a tool that i can monitor the behavior of my ubuntu sever.. any help
[07:01] <lotuspsychje> ilu: monitor what exactly
[07:02] <lotuspsychje> ilu: you can try the #ubuntu-server channel also
[07:02] <ilu> the processor utilization, storage and ram. plus runing processes
[07:03] <daxcat> newbie008: I use Picard for music metadata, personally
[07:03] <daxcat> !info picard
[07:03] <daxcat> it's a bit complicated to use though, you might want to search for a tutorial online if you decide to use it
[07:03] <newbie008> I think the databases behind these scenes are mostly the same, they copy from each other
[07:03] <daxcat> ah
[07:04] <newbie008> the issue isn't getting the data, it's a matter of how to I automate a gui task
[07:04] <newbie008> I saw there were some bash commands to do this but they looked pretty ugly
[07:04] <lotuspsychje> ilu: df -h and ps might also help you
[07:05] <newbie008> in window's land I'd use a keyboard that has macro's built in, or Autohotkey plus
[07:06] <koan> hello
[07:07] <koan> I'm having a small issue with Ubuntu. Ever since I installed, my wifi randomly disconnects... Anyone know the issue?
[07:08] <Mia> when I initially logged into my ubuntu installation I saw this shortcuts popup
[07:08] <Mia> how can I see it again
[07:08] <xangua> Mia: hold super/Windows key

[07:08] <Mia> THANKS!
[07:08] <craptalk> koan: did you sudo update and upgrade already?
[07:09] <koan> craptalk: I'm pretty sure I did. I can try to do it again
[07:09] <koan> just 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' right?
[07:10] <ilu> is there a way i can get help on installing kibana on my pc locally
[07:10] <koan> I'm sorry.. sudu apt-update?
[07:11] <donught> is unity lenses dead? like the github and deviantart ones?
[07:12] <koan> craptalk: just tried both, hopefully it works. Will be back here if it doesn't!
[07:14] <DaveWM> how can I get network manager to ignore usb0 interface and let me manage it myself?
[07:14] <DaveWM> the HWaddr of it changes... so ideally I'd like to figure out how to just get usb0 to be ignored by networkmanager
[07:17] <alkisg> DaveWM: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=810934 ==> search for "keyfile" in there, it's how to hide a nic from network manager
[07:17] <Anthony-L> can anyone one explain to me this in English http://askubuntu.com/questions/561295/how-to-use-nvidia-gtx-970-gpu
[07:19] <DaveWM> alkisg: thanks... I was using the same line but a variation for the mac address and it wasn't working.. that and the mac changes so it would be pointless.. I'll try this out
[07:20] <donught> Anthony-L, just go under settings > software packages > additional drivers
[07:21] <DaveWM> alkisg: do you think I can just use it like: unmanaged-devices=interface-name=usb0
[07:22] <DaveWM> well,  I'll give it a go
[07:25] <Anthony-L> donught, i'm very scared to switch drivers.
[07:25] <donught> why? you got grub recovery and ctrl + alt + f2
[07:26] <Anthony-L> it's not that easy. ever since i've installed ubuntu, i've gone through hell getting it to work with this gpu.
[07:26] <alkisg> DaveWM: sorry gpu hang, what did you ask me last?
[07:26] <Anthony-L> donught, which one should i choose? there's two proprietary, one that's tested and the other hasn't.
[07:27] <DaveWM> alkisg: I was asking if you thought I could just use the line like : unmanaged-devices=interface-name=usb0
[07:27] <donught> i use nvidia-updates Anthony-L
[07:27] <DaveWM> didn't work though.. it's still managing it atm
[07:27] <donught> but you can use eather
[07:27] <alkisg> DaveWM: I don't think so, it needs to be the actual nic name as shown in `ip l`
[07:28] <Anthony-L> nvidia updates in the terminal?

[07:35] <Sumrdh> Hi I downloaded Ubuntu 14.04 Lts from the official Ubuntu website 32 bit.. I downloaded the iso file. Then I used unet bootin to create a Bootable pendrive. I restarted my system and I pressed f2 and I selected option install Ubuntu.. After selecting that I got a page which has Ubuntu written on it and the loading icon is seen.. I am unable to install Ubuntu in my system..
[07:36] <EriC^^> Sumrdh: purple page?
[07:36] <DaveWM> alkisg: http://pastebin.com/09uUwjX9 I added the last two lines to /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf  rebooted and Network manager still automatically managed the usb0 interface
[07:36] <EriC^^> with white dots at the bottom?
[07:36] <hateball> Anthony-L: right, well if you want a oneliner to add the ppa and install the latest driver: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-361
[07:36] <Sumrdh> Yes yes the same exact page
[07:36] <Sumrdh> My installation is stuck for almost an hour now
[07:37] <EriC^^> Sumrdh: try pressing try ubuntu
[07:37] <Sumrdh> I already did that it's still stuck
[07:37] <alkisg> DaveWM: what's the output of this command? ip l
[07:37] <Anthony-L> hateball, thank you sir
[07:38] <Sumrdh> Please someone help me
[07:38] <DaveWM> alkisg: 4: usb0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
[07:39] <hateball> Anthony-L: And a reboot is needed after the installation finishes
[07:39] <Anthony-L> hateball, i'll keep my fingers crossed. :)
[07:39] <EriC^^> Sumrdh: try booting with nomodeset
[07:39] <EriC^^> !nomodeset | Sumrdh
[07:40] <EriC^^> Sumrdh: also remove quiet splash and see what it says
[07:42] <alkisg> DaveWM: try: unmanaged-devices=interface-name:usb0  (: instead of =)
[07:44] <DaveWM> alkisg: good catch.. you may be right... lemme see
[07:47] <NeoFrontier> Hi, when I insert an sd card into the sdcard slot of my ubuntu laptop, it will not allow me to delete what is on it. Even when root it says it is a read only file system. Yet the lock slider on the card is not in the lock position.
[07:47] <NeoFrontier> what gives ?
[07:48] <NeoFrontier> I see it mounted as: /dev/sdb1 on /media/username/32GIGSD type fuseblk (ro,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096)
[07:49] <hateball> NeoFrontier: well it's mounted as ro. Does dmesg give any hints? Perhaps it was mounted ro due to errors?
[07:50] <NeoFrontier> hateball thanks dmesg thinks the write protect is on...
[07:51] <NeoFrontier> not sure if it is the adapter...
[07:51] <hateball> Anthony-L: Please don't pm, keep it in channel
[07:52] <hateball> NeoFrontier: do you have another card/adapter to test with?
[07:52] <hateball> NeoFrontier: you could try forcing remount rw as well
[07:52] <NeoFrontier> hateball somewhere somewhere...
[07:53] <hateball> NeoFrontier: but if it says it mounts as ro without mentioning fs errors etc... it could well be the adapter
[07:57] <NeoFrontier> hateball after umounting it removing it sliding the lock up and down a bit and confirming its position not in lock. it mounts rw now.
[07:57] <NeoFrontier> *shrug* buggy adaptor I think.
[07:57] <hateball> NeoFrontier: :)
[07:58] <NeoFrontier> :)

[08:54] <Dirkos> I just added a new EXT4 disk (SDA1) but when mounted my user does not have access to write on it. How can i fix that
[08:56] <Caroga> Dirkos: you've mounted it using sudo, so you have mounted it using the root account, which makes it accesable to the root account.
[08:56] <Triffid_Hunter> Dirkos: sudo chown user /path/to/wherever you want your user to write stuff
[08:56] <Triffid_Hunter> Caroga: no that's vfat, ext4 has per-inode permissions
[08:56] <Dirkos> Caroga: I mounted it through the GUI
[08:56] <Caroga> I stand corrected
[08:56] <Dirkos> "Disk" tool with default settings as user "Dirkos"
[08:57] <Caroga> But simply changing ownership is sufficient to resolving your problem Dirkos, just as Triffid_Hunter said
[08:57] <Caroga> Dirkos: what is the path towards your mount ?

[09:15] <dnivra> Hello everyone! I'm trying to set the umask for a daemon service. I tried adding it to startup file in /etc/init.d and also passing desired umask to the start-stop-daemon but neither seem to be working since files and folders are still created with default umask and I'm unable to undertsand why. Could someone help out here?

[09:33] <batman897> ok ok
[09:33] <humbot> i got some wild guesses too
[09:33] <dragonfly42> perhaps take a pic from your mobile... and share the error msgs
[09:33] <Mia> lotuspsychje, -____-
[09:33] <Mia> of course
[09:34] <batman897> I have to reboot my machine for that
[09:34] <batman897> and i cant chat
[09:34] <humbot> did you get the 32 bit iso? did you checksum it? what is your graphics card? have you tried other ways of making the installer? press ctrl-alt-f2 and type dmesg...
[09:35] <batman897> There were four options and I slected the option install ubuntu and it opened the purple screen
[09:35] <lotuspsychje> Mia: tried a reboot?
[09:35] <batman897> and it just got stuck
[09:35] <Mia> yeah
[09:35] <batman897> yes I tries
[09:35] <batman897> *tried
[09:36] <batman897> @humbot : I do not have graphic card

[09:44] <Deele> I have fresh install of ubuntu and the one who installed it, has forgotten password, but It has auto-login for admin user. Is there a way to reset password without reinstall of os?
[09:44] <hateball> Deele: Boot into single user mode and reset it
[09:45] <hateball> Deele: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword
[09:47] <seanirby> is it possible to bind the right mouse button to a key?
[09:50] <Deele> hateball, I am in root console but after "passwd user" it shows auth flag manipulation error
[09:51] <hateball> Deele: well, do you have the right username?
[09:52] <Deele> hateball, yes, it the last one in passwd file
[09:52] <Triffid_Hunter> Deele: if that won't work, you could always boot a liveusb and chroot in to change it
[09:53] <alkisg> Deele: how did you arrive at a root prompt? Maybe your disk now is read only
[09:53] <alkisg> Deele: try: touch /test
[09:53] <alkisg> If it says it can't create it, it's read only and you need to remount it rw
[09:53] <Deele> read only
[09:53] <alkisg> mount -o remount,rw /
[09:53] <alkisg> then passwd user

[09:54] <Amethyst_Crystal> hello. i have a simple question about startup disk creator
[09:55] <baizon> Amethyst_Crystal: and the question is?
[09:56] <Amethyst_Crystal> I allowed it to accidentally erase the wrong external hard drive... except, that hard drive is exactly what startup disk creator and my whole ubuntu system is running on. It has popped up a new 'external device tab under the folders, but.. other than that, everything seems to be working still.
[09:56] <Amethyst_Crystal> did it just *not* do anything, and get confused?
[09:57] <Amethyst_Crystal> or is there something i should do to make sure everything is ok before restarting?
[09:59] <Amethyst_Crystal> actually that popup has disappeared now, but i erased the correct external usb and its popping up on its own
[09:59] <RaptorJesus> Yay
[10:00] <Amethyst_Crystal> so, did it just 'pretend' to erase this whole hard drive? because i shouldn't be able to do anything still
[10:00] <Amethyst_Crystal> or is it just impossible for it to attempt to erase the drive its already on?
[10:04] <Triffid_Hunter> Amethyst_Crystal: most modern machines have tons of ram. when you open files, linux has to copy them into ram so that they can be accessed. Since linux is smart, it just leaves them there if nothing else needs the ram
[10:04] <Triffid_Hunter> Amethyst_Crystal: so that means it'll keep running fine until linux decides to flush the disk cache, after which you'll see everything go downhill fast
[10:05] <Amethyst_Crystal> so
[10:06] <Amethyst_Crystal> is there anything i can do about this?
[10:06] <Amethyst_Crystal> a way to stop it?
[10:06] <Triffid_Hunter> Amethyst_Crystal: it's already done, reimage your usb
[10:06] <Amethyst_Crystal> how much time do i have
[10:07] <Triffid_Hunter> Amethyst_Crystal: it's not a matter of time, it's a matter of ram usage.. open anything that bites off a chunk of ram and bits of your disk cache will get flushed
[10:07] <Amethyst_Crystal> i see
[10:08] <Triffid_Hunter> Amethyst_Crystal: "flushed" as in linux will simply wipe those files from ram because it thinks they're still the same on disk (which is apparently no longer true for you)
[10:09] <Triffid_Hunter> then if it tries to reload them from disk, you'll get a kern.log full of filesystem errors followed by remount-ro, crashes or full on kernel panic
[10:09] <Amethyst_Crystal> will it just randomly choose bits of my system to destroy, or will it get stuff like saved files
[10:09] <Amethyst_Crystal> ok well my disk creator is 36% complete..
[10:09] <Triffid_Hunter> Amethyst_Crystal: destroy? it's already destroyed, you're running on a ghost
[10:09] <Amethyst_Crystal> so does this mean its too late to save anything to dvd r disks?
[10:13] <heya> What is the difference between linux image extra and linux image when we do net install?
[10:13] <heya> Also which one should i pic?
[10:13] <heya> I am installing 14.04
[10:13] <heya> Linux 4.2.x extra?
[10:13] <radicate> How can I make a file that'll be editable by my user without using sudo all the time?
[10:13] <Triffid_Hunter> Amethyst_Crystal: you could copy files in your vfs cache to your new usb.. hard to tell which are cached though, might be some info in /proc somewhere
[10:14] <Deele> Where do I get User Permissions settings in ubuntu System Settings? I am following guide in http://www.instructables.com/id/Setting-Up-Ubuntu-as-a-Kiosk-Web-Appliance/?ALLSTEPS but I cant find specific user permission settings in "User Accounts" window
[10:14] <dragon42> @radicate chmod go+rw filename
[10:14] <Amethyst_Crystal> i think i managed to finish creating a usb disk at least, its 'creating a persistence file...'
[10:14] <Amethyst_Crystal> 99% complete
[10:15] <Amethyst_Crystal> now an ext2 filesystem
[10:15] <Amethyst_Crystal> can you please give me info about checking vfs cache and /proc? i presume terminal is involved?
[10:15] <Triffid_Hunter> Amethyst_Crystal: I know nothing about vfs specifics, just have some idea of how linux's one uses ram
[10:17] <radicate> dragon42: Can you please explain to me what this does?
[10:17] <Ana__> my memorie is almost full and i dont know of what. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/15333830/
[10:17] <linuxlove> hello
[10:18] <Ana__> what can i do to erase all i dont need
[10:18] <linuxlove> i need to have both language english and persion how can i do that in ubuntu 14.04?
[10:18] <cspack> Amethyst_Crystal: the Erase Disk option doesn't delete files, it formats the partition. I'm guessing it didn't do anything since the partition was mounted.
[10:19] <linuxlove> Ga
[10:19] <Amethyst_Crystal> are you sure, cspack? Triffid_Hunter said otherwise
[10:19] <batman123> I installed ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit , I selected try ubuntu without installationa and it worked. I then selected install ubuntu , i got the following error "INstallation failed error 5"
[10:19] <linuxlove> Gallomimia,
[10:20] <Triffid_Hunter> Ana__: that shows inodes, not space. and why does your rootfs only have less than a million inodes? if you want more free inodes, delete files you don't use. each file/directory takes one inode
[10:20] <linuxlove> i need to have both language english and persion how can i do that in ubuntu 14.04?
[10:21] <Amethyst_Crystal> plus isnt my usb disk technically mounted too?
[10:21] <Triffid_Hunter> Amethyst_Crystal: if it failed the first time as cspack suggests it might, you might be fine
[10:21] <hateball> linuxlove: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/prefs-language-install.html
[10:21] <Amethyst_Crystal> i hope so. but im going to save all the files i want/need anyway just in case
[10:21] <Amethyst_Crystal> i kind of have to
[10:21] <Ana__> thank you
[10:22] <Ana__> then why my pc is too slow
[10:22] <batman123>  I installed ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit , I selected try ubuntu without installationa and it worked. I then selected install ubuntu , i got the following error "INstallation failed error 5"
[10:22] <Ana__> ?
[10:22] <Amethyst_Crystal> ive tried updating to another version from 12.04 but it hasnt worked, because of a stupid package fglrx error that ive been stuck with for awhile
[10:22] <Amethyst_Crystal> so now im putting 14.04 on a disk. i read that it makes an error with 14.10, but im guessing 14.04 is fine cause its stable
[10:22] <batman123>  I installed ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit , I selected try ubuntu without installationa and it worked. I then selected install ubuntu , i got the following error "INstallation failed error 5"
[10:23] <cspack> Amethyst_Crystal: did Startup Disk Creator give you an error the first time?
[10:25] <Amethyst_Crystal> i didnt notice, but maybe.
[10:25] <Amethyst_Crystal> i was too busy panicking..
[10:26] <Amethyst_Crystal> im still not noticing anything unusual
[10:26] <linuxlove> hateball, i dont want to change language for whole system i just need to switch between languages when i want to type
[10:26] <Amethyst_Crystal> i'm currently deleting massive files i dont want or need via find files/folders and nothing bad has happened yet
[10:26] <Amethyst_Crystal> i figure it will be easier to copy folders onto my discs that way
[10:26] <cspack> Amethyst_Crystal: In any case it didn't complete right? I think you are safe.
[10:27] <batman123>  I installed ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit , I selected try ubuntu without installationa and it worked. I then selected install ubuntu , i got the following error "INstallation failed error 5"
[10:27] <Amethyst_Crystal> i have no idea. it was instanteous when i tried it with the proper usb stick, but i dont know if thats just cause it had nearly nothing on it anyway
[10:27] <Amethyst_Crystal> would it have taken awhile if it tried deleting multiple GB?
[10:27] <hateball> linuxlove: will this help https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/ubuntu-help/keyboard-layouts.html
[10:27] <Amethyst_Crystal> it 'appeared' instant with the mistake choice too
[10:28] <batman123> can someone please help
[10:28] <batman123>  I installed ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit , I selected try ubuntu without installationa and it worked. I then selected install ubuntu , i got the following error "INstallation failed error 5"
[10:28] <cspack> Amethyst_Crystal: it would take a while to format your linux partition ;) so I think you are good.
[10:28] <Amethyst_Crystal> ok
[10:28] <Amethyst_Crystal> well im going to go ahead and save stuff to disks and continue
[10:29] <batman123> @cspack :  I installed ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit , I selected try ubuntu without installationa and it worked. I then selected install ubuntu , i got the following error "INstallation failed error 5"
[10:29] <Triffid_Hunter> Amethyst_Crystal: if you're walking your disk and dmesg isn't spewing errors like a firehose, nothing was wiped
[10:29] <Amethyst_Crystal> is there anything i should be concerned about or keep in mind when wiping out my external hard drive and installing 14.04 via the usb stick?
[10:29] <Triffid_Hunter> Amethyst_Crystal: nothing wrong with having a backup day though :)
[10:29] <batman123> someone please help
[10:29] <Amethyst_Crystal> i need to backup anyway, i have no choice but to wipe the whole disk. ive tried just updating but keeping files before and it didnt work, im guessing due to the 'package fglrx' or other errors
[10:30] <Smokie> hey guys, how can i copy a file that contains a ' in it in terminal ?
[10:30] <Amethyst_Crystal> should i be concerned about it not working if i try doing a 'clean' full install?
[10:30] <Triffid_Hunter> Smokie: \'
[10:31] <Smokie> thanks Triffid_Hunter
[10:31] <Amethyst_Crystal> the whole reason im doing this is cause i had an unsettling and frustrating 90 minutes of just trying to log onto ubuntu normally, it was stuck at the shell with 'broken pipe' and stuff like that. i think i was able to get around it via stuff i tried on recovery, but im tired of all the probems adding up. also, not able to install or update anything the proper way. surprisingly steam games works
[10:32] <Amethyst_Crystal>  just fine tho.. except i suspect some games arent running because of the stupid graphic error.
[10:32] <Amethyst_Crystal> so yeah, should i do any extra steps if i want to completely wipe my hard drive and do a full 'clean' install of 14.04 from usb stick?
[10:32] <Amethyst_Crystal> or keep anything important in mind during process?
[10:33] <lotuspsychje> Amethyst_Crystal: easy on the enter key mate, best to focus on your specific issue
[10:33] <batman123>  I installed ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit , I selected try ubuntu without installationa and it worked. I then selected install ubuntu , i got the following error "INstallation failed error 5"
[10:33] <batman123> someone please help
[10:34] <lotuspsychje> batman123: how did you create your usb stick
[10:34] <Amethyst_Crystal> sorry lotuspsychje, i have a bad habit when it comes to online chat
[10:34] <lotuspsychje> Amethyst_Crystal: well this isnt really a chat, but ubuntu support issue solving
[10:34] <batman123> @lotuspsychje I created using unetbootin
[10:34] <lotuspsychje> batman123: from wich Os?
[10:34] <batman123> windows
[10:34] <lotuspsychje> batman123: please try the universal usb installer
[10:34] <lotuspsychje> !usb | batman123
[10:35] <lotuspsychje> batman123: are you single installing or dualboot?
[10:35] <Amethyst_Crystal> understood, lotuspsychje. im grateful for everyones' help tho
[10:35] <batman123> @lotuspsychje dualboot
[10:35] <lotuspsychje> batman123: on uefi system?
[10:36] <batman123> @lotuspsychje i am sorry i am a novice wat is uefi system?
[10:36] <lotuspsychje> batman123: wich Os will you be dualbooting with ubuntu?
[10:37] <batman123> @lotuspsychje : I have windows OS and I have partitioned to use around 50 gb for ubuntu
[10:37] <lotuspsychje> batman123: wich windows please
[10:37] <batman123> @lotuspsychje : windows7
[10:38] <lotuspsychje> !dualboot | batman123 ok try this
[10:38] <lotuspsychje> batman123: but make your usb with universal usb installer first
[10:38] <batman123> @lotuspsychje : i ll try it and see
[10:38] <batman123> @lotuspsychje : I have a 32bit system with 2 gb ram
[10:39] <lotuspsychje> batman123: you could choose ubuntu desktop 32bit iso, or lubuntu/xubuntu iso
[10:39] <Smokie> is it normal for the FTP speed from an ubuntu server to a windows os on a local network to be 15MB/s only?
[10:39] <huwjr> hi all - i have one ubuntu 14.04 server which has an ethernet alias set in /etc/network/interfaces - it’s set to auto but it NEVER comes up at reboot? i have about 10 other trusty hosts with the same config, and they all work flawlessly? any ideas.
[10:40] <lotuspsychje> Smokie: maybe the ##networking guys might troubleshoot that?
[10:40] <batman123> @lotuspychje : which verison 14.04 or 15.04
[10:40] <lotuspsychje> Smokie, huwjr there is also #ubuntu-server if you like
[10:40] <alkisg> Smokie: local network 100 mbps or gigabit?
[10:40] <lotuspsychje> batman123: depends on you mate, LTS or non-lts
[10:40] <popey> lotuspsychje: seems a valid question for here
[10:40] <lotuspsychje> !lts | batman123
[10:42] <huwjr> soz :)
[10:42] <batman123> @lotuspsychje : I am installing 15.04 32 bit , hope it works
[10:43] <lotuspsychje> batman123: ok mate good luck!
[10:43] <batman123> @lotuspsychje : thanks a lot !
[10:43] <batman123> will let u know if i face any issue
[10:44] <lotuspsychje> batman123: if you have issues, you can always come back here
[10:44] <Smokie> thanks lotuspsychje
[10:44] <Smokie> alkisg, 1gbit local nework
[10:44] <k1l_> batman123: better install 15.10 from the start. 15.04 is already dead and you need to upgrade that
[10:45] <Smokie> alkisg, i can scp from my outside server to my local server at home @ 40MB/s, so it should reach that or more locally
[10:45] <batman123> @lotuspsychje : one quick question , do u recommend me to use unetbootin to create a bootable pendrive or something else .
[10:45] <k1l_> batman123: and do you have 32bit only hardware? or why do you install not 64bit?
[10:45] <alkisg> Smokie: if it's 40 MB and not mbit, then yup your ftp speed is very low
[10:45] <lotuspsychje> batman123: i would try that universal usb installer, if you create from windows
[10:46] <batman123> @kill_ : I have a 32 bit hardware , should i install 15.10 32 bit iso or 15.10 64 bit ISO
[10:46] <lotuspsychje> Smokie: be carefull with ftp also for security reasons
[10:46] <k1l_> batman123: what hardware is it exactly?
[10:46] <Wug> batman123: the 32 bit one.
[10:47] <Wug> 64 bit software is not backwards compatible with 32 bit hardware
[10:47] <Smokie> lotuspsychje, its inside my home network
[10:47] <batman123> @k1l_ 32 bit CPU
[10:47] <batman123> @wug : thanks
[10:47] <lotuspsychje> Smokie: but your network attached to internet also?
[10:47] <Wug> however, the opposite is true, so just because it currently has 32 bit software on it doesn't necessarily mean it's a 32 bit cpu. have you looked up the model number to make sure it really is a 32 bit chip?
[10:48] <lotuspsychje> Smokie: maybe do a test over ssh?
[10:48] <k1l_> batman123: are you sure its 32bit only? which one is it?
[10:48] <Wug> batman123: if it was made in the last few years its almost certainly 64 bit
[10:48] <Wug> as far as I know all new mainstream CPUs have been 64 bit for some time
[10:49] <Smokie> lotuspsychje, ftp is blocked from my outside network.. i can 'scp' to my local network just fine and i can reach up to 40MB/s
[10:49] <batman123> @k1l_ : its old laptop ,  i checked the config, its a 32 bit system with 2 gb ram
[10:49] <batman123> should i use 32 bit ISO or 64 bit ISO
[10:49] <k1l_> batman123: the OS doesnt tell anything about the cpu. please name the cpu so we can have a look
[10:49] <batman123> @k1l_ : its intel centrino
[10:49] <Wug> what year was it made
[10:50] <lotuspsychje> batman123: wich brand/model of laptop?
[10:50] <batman123> @lotuspsychje : latitude d630
[10:50] <Smokie> lotuspsychje, scp from server1 to server2 on my local network reaches 70MB/s
[10:50] <Smokie> just tested now
[10:50] <Wug> yeah that's 32 bit all right
[10:51] <Wug> (I have a d620)
[10:51] <Smokie> so the issue is from server1 to my windows machine over FTP
[10:51] <batman123> @lotuspsychje : Dell Latitude D630
[10:51] <Wug> batman123: go for the 32 bit version
[10:51] <alkisg> Smokie: is that 70 MB/s or 70 mbit/s? byte or bit?
[10:51] <batman123> @wug : sure
[10:51] <Wug> also, you may encounter issues making the graphics driver work
[10:51] <k1l_> batman123: thing is: google dropped the 32bit version of chrome. and other distributions are thinking of dropping 32bit isos at all. so if there is any doubt one should check if the hardware is capable of 64 bit OS.
[10:51] <Smokie> alkisg, 70MB/s
[10:51] <alkisg> Smokie: which ftp server and client are you using?
[10:51] <batman123> @wug: I will go with 15.10 ISO 32 bit
[10:52] <Wug> the d620 has an nvidia quadro 110m, which is no longer supported by nvidia drivers on linux
[10:52] <lotuspsychje> k1l_: will lubuntu and xubuntu also drop the 32bit iso's?
[10:52] <Wug> It may be that the d630 has the same issue
[10:52] <k1l_> lotuspsychje: i dont think there was an decision yet. and i think it makes sense for lubuntu to keep 32bit isos
[10:53] <lotuspsychje> k1l_: ok tnx
[10:53] <k1l_> batman123: which cpu uses the system exactly?
[10:53] <Wug> Might be worth it to get rid of 32 bit desktop ubuntu isos
[10:53] <k1l_> batman123: i see d630 ones with intel core 2 duo t7300 which is 64bit capable
[10:53] <Wug> keep server around so random old junk machines can be run in headless configuration
[10:54] <alkisg> Wug: get rid of 32bit isos, why?!
[10:54] <lotuspsychje> k1l_: indeed: http://www.cnet.com/products/dell-latitude-d630/specs/
[10:54] <alkisg> We're using those in thousands of machines here...
[10:54] <Wug> alkisg: where is here, and how are you using them
[10:54] <alkisg> Wug: www.ltsp.org/stories/widget-map/?location=Greece
[10:54] <lotuspsychje> alkisg: its an article that mentioning it, removing 32bit iso's
[10:55] <lotuspsychje> alkisg: i think it was on softpedia
[10:55] <alkisg> lotuspsychje: afaik it won't happen for 16.04
[10:55] <batman123> @k1l_ I did right click on computer on my windows OS ,i opened properties and I saw the operating system is 32 bit
[10:55] <k1l_> alkisg: i didnt hear ubuntu said they will drop it. other distributions started iirc. but ubuntu links for the 64bit as standard already
[10:55] <k1l_> batman123: that doesnt say anything about the cpu.
[10:56] <k1l_> batman123: windows prefers a 32bit OS.
[10:56] <Wug> alkisg: I don't know much about how ltsp is architected, but given that we're talking thin clients, do they have local bootability at all?
[10:56] <k1l_> so please look up which CPU is build in.
[10:56] <alkisg> k1l_: fedora also still offers i386, and of course debian will be the last to drop it
[10:56] <batman123> @k1l_ : The processor description goes as Intel(R)Core(TM)2 Duo CPU
[10:57] <bazhang> thats 64
[10:57] <alkisg> Wug: they're usually p4 machines with windows xp, dual-booted as i386 clients over the network, where the server is also installed in i386 arch to serve as a template for them
[10:57] <k1l_> batman123: thats a 64bit one
[10:58] <batman123> oh ok
[10:58] <bazhang> core duo is 32/core2duo is 64
[10:58] <Wug> alkisg: the suggestion I made was getting rid of the x86 iso only for desktop installs, and keeping it for server ones, so it sounds like that configuration would still work fine
[10:58] <Smokie> alkisg, vsftp on the ubuntu server and WinSCP on windows
[10:58] <batman123> @K1l_ : should install 15.10 64 bit then?
[10:58] <alkisg> Wug: ltsp servers are installed using the desktop iso, they're not headless, they need the full gui as a template for the clients
[10:59] <k1l_> batman123: 64bit is right. if you install 14.04 or 15.10 is your decision. with 15.10 you need to upgrade to 16.04 until july
[10:59] <Wug> ubuntu server is just ubuntu with different packages, there's no reason you can't install a UI on it
[10:59] <alkisg> Wug: compiling or serving an .iso isn't the problem; the problem is QA'ing it. As long as enough i386 installations are out there, there's not a real reason to drop it
[10:59] <alkisg> Wug: there's no reason to select ubuntu-server.iso when I want ubuntu-desktop.iso. Of course I could even netinstall without even mini.iso, but having the 32 bit desktop.iso is the easiest way
[11:00] <lotuspsychje> alkisg: if lubuntu 16.04 32bit iso's would remain, might run like a charm on xp boxes?
[11:00] <Wug> I guess
[11:00] <alkisg> lotuspsychje: gnome-flashback is as light as lubuntu, but way more mature, that's what we're using
[11:01] <Wug> but as you yourself point out it's QA overhead (ubuntu's QA process has bee really strained lately) and your case is something of an edge case
[11:01] <alkisg> I.e. we start with the normal ubuntu-desktop-32bit.iso (unity) and install gnome-flashback over it
[11:01] <Wug> I'd imagine the returns on QAing the 32 bit isos are diminishing very rapidly
[11:01] <lotuspsychje> alkisg: here's the article: http://news.softpedia.com/news/ubuntu-linux-32-bit-iso-images-are-up-for-discussion-again-499754.shtml
[11:02] <Wug> seeing as all consumer hardware produced today is 64 bit, no new computers are x64
[11:02] <Wug> x86*
[11:02] <alkisg> Wug: see the popcon results for a comparison between i386 and amd64 installations
[11:02] <alkisg> i386 machines are very much still in use\
[11:02] <lotuspsychje> lets continue support? or proceed in #ubuntu-discuss perhaps
[11:03] <InvGhost> hello, has somebody had problems with ubuntu 15.10 sound hissing?  After instalation there was hiss- i fixed it with this http://xps13-9333.appspot.com/#background_noise , but after i updated my apps with software apps with software updater it doesnt work anymore. Any idea how to fix it? Here is source code of this py that fixed issue first time http://xps13-9333.appspot.com/root/usr/local/bin/white_noise_fix.py
[11:03] <alkisg> Wug:  http://popcon.ubuntu.com/ ==> amd64: 681069, i386: 2069261
[11:03] <alkisg> 3 times more i386 installations
[11:03] <lotuspsychje> !sound | InvGhost
[11:03] <Wug> how many of those are headless though
[11:05] <alkisg> Wug: in any case, it's not time to drop i386 cds yet. They're still used widely. OK, let's move on to supporting people here. :)
[11:08] <mmk> hi
[11:08] <scatman> hi
[11:08] <mmk> yes
[11:09] <mmk> 29 africa
[11:09] <bazhang> mmk do you have an ubuntu support issue
[11:13] <alive> alkisg: Is 64 bit the default now at least?
[11:14] <alkisg> alive: the ubuntu download page points to 64bit isos by default, yes
[11:14] <alive> Nice :)
[11:21] <lesshaste> something has gone screwy with the keyboard layout since a recent ubuntu upgrade. System Settings->Text Entry shows the right layout but I get < when I press the \ key for exampel
[11:27] <alkisg> lesshaste: does this also happen if you select the guest session?
[11:32] <lesshaste> alkisg, interesting question..how do I do that?
[11:33] <alkisg> lesshaste: you select it from the menus, google it a bit because I'm not using unity so I can't tell you the exact menu
[11:36] <Raz0r-X> Could anyone help me with a script... I want to count how many minutes it takes from one job to another in a log file. The first job i want to count time from is where it says MSG[BEGIN JOB /srv/korv and i want it to stop counting after the log has said MSG[END JOB /srv/bingo
[11:39] <hateball> Raz0r-X: "time job1 >> log.txt && time job2 >> log.txt" ?
[11:40] <hateball> oh
[11:40] <lesshaste> alkisg, ok thanks
[11:41] <Raz0r-X> hateball I would like to run this at the end of the night to see how long it all took...
[11:41] <varaindemian> is ubuntu (with snappy ubuntu core) trying to make something similar to arch?
[11:42] <hateball> Raz0r-X: I cant say I understand what you are talking about
[11:42] <Raz0r-X> hehe
[11:42] <hateball> Raz0r-X: I dont know what your jobs that print /srv/bingo are
[11:42] <Raz0r-X> heeh you dont need to know :))
[11:43] <EriC^^> is the time program wrong or something?
[11:43] <EriC^^> time -f "\t%E real,\t%U user,\t%S sys" ls -Fs
[11:43] <EriC^^> in the examples section doesn't work
[11:43] <EriC^^> time -f "%e" <program> says -f command not found
[11:43] <Raz0r-X> I have a logfile where all the jobs are displayed. The logfile name is korv.txt. Every night i run 100´s of jobs. I want to measure how long all those jobs take
[11:44] <Raz0r-X> i want to measure from where it says MSG[BEGIN JOB /srv/korv
[11:44] <Raz0r-X> to
[11:44] <Raz0r-X> where it says MSG[END JOB /srv/bingo
[11:44] <Raz0r-X> :)
[11:44] <hateball> But do you have any timestamps in said log?
[11:44] <EriC^^> Raz0r-X: is there a time stamp next to it?
[11:44] <Raz0r-X> hateball yes i have timestamps
[11:44] <Raz0r-X> yes
[11:45] <Raz0r-X> 09-03-2016 12:44:05 b13236 DISPLAY ID(IP[00.00.0.00.0] JOB[RE7300] PID[28519]) MSG[END JOB
[11:45] <Raz0r-X> that the way it looks in the log
[11:45] <Mia> hey all, the "show live preview" option in my switcher is not working
[11:45] <Mia> do you have any guesses why this canebe?
[11:46] <Mia> no matter what I check, it just displays the simpel icons that's all
[11:46] <EriC^^> i think there's a bug in the time program, it won't process the -f or --format arg
[11:46] <EriC^^> nor -o
[11:46] <Silenced> clear
[11:47] <EriC^^> ah it's cause of bash, need to use /usr/bin/time -f ....
[11:49] <varaindemian> is ubuntu (with snappy ubuntu core) trying to make something similar to arch?
[11:49] <hateball> Raz0r-X: googling came up with this to use awk on an existing log file http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25658664/counting-time-in-log-file
[11:49] <hateball> Raz0r-X: is that of any use perhaps?
[11:54] <Raz0r-X> hateball for someone who know scripting im sure its great ;)
[11:54] <EriC^^> you can know scripting too
[11:54] <lotuspsychje> !snappy | varaindemian
[11:55] <Mia> hey all, the "show live preview" option in my switcher is not working
[11:55] <Mia> no matter what I check, it just displays the simpel icons that's all
[11:55] <Mia> do you have any guesses why this canebe?
[11:56] <hateball> Raz0r-X: well no matter how you go about it you'll have to script a bit to parse a logfile...
[11:57] <Raz0r-X> Thats where you come in hateball ;P
[11:58] <hateball> Raz0r-X: If you want to pay for someone to make you a script there are various places to do that
[11:58] <hateball> Meanwhile, here's a few other examples http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14309032/bash-script-difference-in-minutes-between-two-times
[11:59] <R13ose> I can't connect to the wireless internet on my laptop.  What should I do?
[12:02] <hateball> R13ose: What version of Ubuntu? What wifi chipset (lspci) ?
[12:07] <R13ose> hateball: 15.10 and Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR9462 Wireless Network Adaptor (rev 01).  Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 14)
[12:11] <hateball> R13ose: with lspci -k, does it show wifi using ath9k ?
[12:11] <EriC^^> Raz0r-X: did you fix the script?
[12:12] <R13ose> hateball: yes
[12:13] <hateball> R13ose: sadly I dont have much experience with atheros chipsets. Maybe there are backport modules that work better
[12:14] <hateball> R13ose: have you tried livebooting 16.04 beta? it has a newer kernel/modules
[12:14] <R13ose> hateball: this was working before but when I got on my computer last night this started to fail.
[12:14] <hateball> R13ose: oh!
[12:15] <hateball> R13ose: Well maybe you have had a kernel update then? Check /var/log/apt/history*
[12:15] <hateball> R13ose: and if so, try rebooting and going into grub menu (hammer shift-key) and pick an older kernel to boot from
[12:16] <R13ose> hateball: the last entry in there is me installing filezilla
[12:17] <dragoonis> Can't seem to install "vncpasswd" command onto my Ubuntu install - can someone lend a hand ?
[12:17] <hateball> R13ose: there should be a number of history files, they get rotated and gzipped
[12:18] <R13ose> hateball: I only see in that folder history.log and term.log
[12:20] <hateball> R13ose: weird. is this a very new install? it should show a number of changes even if the very last one happened to be filezilla
[12:20] <EriC^^> Raz0r-X: i've modified it for you if you want it
[12:20] <hateball> R13ose: also, if you try authenticating to an AP, does anything show up when you run "dmesg" ?
[12:21] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[12:24] <R13ose> hateball: new install and the history file shows a number of changes.  All I can find in dmesg is IPv6: ADDRCONF (NETDEV_UP) enp4s0f1 or wlp3s0: link is not ready
[12:24] <hateball> R13ose: are any of those changes related to a new kernel?
[12:26] <R13ose> hateball: I haven't installed a new kernel in a few days if I remember correctly.
[12:29] <R13ose> hateball: any other thoughts?
[12:29] <hateball> R13ose: not really, since you dont appear to get any obvious errors. I'd still try reboting an older kernel tho
[12:30] <R13ose> hateball: if I reboot into normal mode, I would most likely get this working again.
[12:30] <Hadi> test
[12:32] <R13ose> Anyone else have thoughts?
[12:34] <Jordy_> Hi everyone - I installed Nodejs on my Raspberry Pi 3. Installation succeed, but I get errors on npm install after a few minutes for every project I run this command on. For example bootstrap. I get JSON parse error? Very strange for the official Bootstrap repository. Can anyone help me?
[12:38] <k1l_> Jordy_: is that running an ubuntu
[12:39] <Jordy_> k1l_: Yes, Ubuntu Snappy Core.
[12:39] <Raz0r-X> EriC^^ ofc i want it :)
[12:39] <EriC^^> Raz0r-X: ok, 1 sec :)
[12:40] <EriC^^> http://paste.ubuntu.com/15334246/
[12:41] <R13ose> I can't connect to the wireless internet on my laptop.  What should I do?
[12:41] <EriC^^> Raz0r-X: ^
[12:42] <Raz0r-X> nice... But
[12:42] <Raz0r-X> That will look for any line that says MSG\[END JOB/ right
[12:42] <k1l_> Jordy_: what exact error?
[12:43] <k1l_> Jordy_: also you might want to ask in #snappy if it seems more snappy related
[12:44] <BluesKaj> R13ose, which wifi chip?
[12:44] <EriC^^> Raz0r-X: yeah
[12:44] <Raz0r-X> EriC^^ There is alot of END JOB and BEGIN JOB in the log... Can you modify so it looks for this one specific
[12:45] <linuxlove> hello
[12:45] <Raz0r-X> MSG[BEGIN JOB /srv/unireg/us/data/PROD/PNRUN/PN1215D
[12:45] <EriC^^> which one?
[12:45] <Raz0r-X> And this is the last one
[12:45] <linuxlove> who knows about netbeans?
[12:45] <R13ose> BluesKaj: Qualcomm Atheros AR9462
[12:45] <Jordy_> k1l_: It's an JSON parse error in Packages.json. I don't remember the exact error, because I don't have the Pi on my hands now. But, it's very strange, because the repo is a clone from the bootstrap repository on github. On my windows machine it's working, it fails under ubuntu. Very very strange, most of the times it's in reverse -> Windows fails and under linux working.
[12:45] <Raz0r-X> MSG[END JOB /srv/unireg/us/data/PROD/FORUN/FO1008D
[12:45] <linuxlove> i saw file:///home/mohammad/%28http://localhost:8383/w3schools/index.html in my browser when i run my project
[12:46] <linuxlove> i saw file:///home/mohammad/(http://localhost:8383/w3schools/index.html) in my browser when i run my project
[12:46] <paramvir> join/#kde-devel
[12:46] <EriC^^> Raz0r-X: are there multiple ones of those in a file?
[12:47] <linuxlove> and my argument is openURL {URL}
[12:47] <Raz0r-X> EriC^^ Nope.. There is only one BEGIN and one END iof every job
[12:49] <EriC^^> Raz0r-X: like there's one begin one end for job1, then another set for job2, etc. in every file?
[12:50] <EriC^^> Raz0r-X: nevermind, so you only want to look for jobs that have /srv/unireg/us/data/PROD ?
[12:50] <Raz0r-X> EriC^^ Yes. There is only one file where all this happens. And it looks like this
[12:50] <Raz0r-X> EriC^^ yes
[12:51] <Raz0r-X> 08-03-2016 19:02:01 b24470 DISPLAY ID(IP[SOME IP ADRESS] JOB[KVSTRT] PID[4898]) MSG[BEGIN JOB /srv/unireg/us/data/PROD/PNRUN/PN1215D

[12:52] <Raz0r-X> those are the jobs i want to measure time between
[12:53] <Raz0r-X> and between those jobs is alot of other START and BEGIN jobs... like thousands :)
[12:53] <Raz0r-X> BEGIN and END jobs i mean
[12:54] <R13ose> BluesKaj: any thoughts?
[12:56] <BluesKaj> R13ose, sudo modprobe ath3k ... it's a shot in the dark
[12:57] <EriC^^> Raz0r-X: paste.ubuntu.com/15334310/
[12:57] <BluesKaj> R13ose, wait, wrong one, sorry
[12:58] <BluesKaj> R13ose, sudo modprobe ath9k
[12:58] <akkonrad> hey, what does this command? sudo setfacl -d -Rm g:www-data:rwX /home/projects - does it set www-data as owner of /home/projects directory and sub directories?
[12:58] <akkonrad> or it adds www-data to owners?
[12:59] <R13ose> BluesKaj:  what is suppose to happen?  When I did that nothing came up.
[13:00] <BluesKaj> R13ose, ok, no errors , perhaps a relogin or reboot , not sure
[13:01] <R13ose> BluesKaj: how do I save my chrome tabs?
[13:01] <BluesKaj> R13ose, you can retrieve them in history
[13:02] <Seminarian> Hi, every time after I close laptop lid (laptop goes to sleep) and awake it again it's as if my nvidia driver stopped working. I only get 20fps in video games and have to reboot first. Can anyone help me fix this?
[13:02] <R13ose> BluesKaj: thanks
[13:04] <hateball> R13ose: you can rightclick and pin tabs also
[13:04] <R13ose> Right
[13:04] <R13ose> I am logging out
[13:05] <Mia> hey all -- what does this setting do
[13:05] <Mia> http://i.imgur.com/VReiswk.png
[13:05] <R13ose> Rebooting now.
[13:06] <Raz0r-X> EriC^^ Is it possible to set it to look in a specifik file every time? I want it to look in /srv/unireg/us/log/consola/LogDay.09-03-2016 LogDay.09-03-2016 changes to todays date every morning

[13:07] <cfhowlett> mrpc, wrong channel >>> #ubuntu+1
[13:07] <EriC^^> Raz0r-X: is it ok if you run ./script 09-03-2016 to check that log?
[13:07] <R13ose> Reboot worked but why?
[13:07] <Deele> what could be the cause for touchscreen not showing up in lsusb?
[13:07] <Raz0r-X> EriC^^ and also... its not any BEGIN or END JOB. Its these " 08-03-2016 19:02:01 b24470 DISPLAY ID(IP[SOME IP ADRESS] JOB[KVSTRT] PID[4898]) MSG[BEGIN JOB /srv/unireg/us/data/PROD/PNRUN/PN1215D "

[13:08] <EriC^^> Raz0r-X: yeah those are the time between the different begin-ends
[13:09] <Raz0r-X> Oh ok.. so it takes all of the BEGIN and END in that log file
[13:09] <EriC^^> yes one after another
[13:09] <Raz0r-X> Can it specificaly(cant spell) look for those specifik jobs i pasted

[13:10] <EriC^^> the ones with /srv/unireg/us/data/PROD/
[13:10] <Raz0r-X> beacuse there is alot of BEGIN and end jobs in the log file.. like hundreds
[13:10] <R13ose> BluesKaj: why did reboot work?
[13:10] <Hadi_> hellwo
[13:11] <BluesKaj> R13ose, do you have wifi ?
[13:11] <Raz0r-X> can you add /srv/unireg/us/data/PROD/PNRUN/PN1215D and /srv/unireg/us/data/PROD/FORUN/FO1008D
[13:11] <Raz0r-X> those are the jobs im intressted in
[13:11] <Hadi_> help me for repair ubuntu
[13:11] <EriC^^> Raz0r-X: all the begins have /srv/unireg/us/data/PROD/PNRUN/PN1215D and all the ends have /srv/unireg/us/data/PROD/FORUN/FO1008D ?
[13:11] <Raz0r-X> Nope.. those are the only ones

[13:54] <Raz0r-X> the output is: 1156 ?
[13:55] <Raz0r-X> oh yeah... i was in wrong enviroment! i guess the time is correct :D
[13:57] <R13ose> After I reboot, the battery icon doesn't show up in the top right area.  How do I add this back there?
[13:59] <Raz0r-X> EriC^^ The logfile changes date every morning.. So today is LogDay.09-03-2016, tomorrow is LogDay.09-03-2016. Is it possible to look for the correct Logday file?
[14:04] <catphish> i just heard / read that ubuntu 14.04.4 ships with Linux 4.2, but my installation (upgraded from older version of Ubuntu) only seems to have Linux 3.13.0, is there some reason i'd be missing the kernel upgrade?
[14:05] <catphish> here's what i see: http://paste.codebasehq.com/pastes/1cd1403hoht66uhy5y

[14:09] <Dirkos> When running PHP on my ubuntu 14.04 i receive this
[14:09] <Dirkos> Given encoding not supported on this OS!
[14:09] <Dirkos> a:5:{i:0;s:40:"Given encoding not supported on this OS!";i:1;s:1489:"#0 /vagrant/lib/Zend/Validate/StringLength.php(113): Zend_Validate_StringLength->setEncoding('UTF-8')
[14:09] <Dirkos> Is there anything that im missing on default or so?
[14:10] <nucc1> Dirkos: what is the code segment that is producing that error?
[14:11] <Dirkos> well an ini_set for php though
[14:11] <Dirkos> but its the ubuntu channel so lets throw in some php code
[14:13] <nucc1> i know ubuntu supports utf-8
[14:13] <Pinkamena_D> whenever I resume from standby with different monitors attached, they are not detected correctly. (Either black, or wrong resolution) However as soon as I click the 'system settings' gui tool, everything fixes itself. (I don't have to do anything in the tool, I simply launch it) This behavior has been consistent for the last few months. Can I somehow run whatever this tool is running automatically on resume from standby,
[14:13] <Pinkamena_D> so that I can skip this step?
[14:15] <catphish> Dirkos: maybe you just spelled UTF8 wrong?
[14:15] <R13ose> After I reboot, the battery icon doesn't show up in the top right area.  How do I add this back there?
[14:16] <catphish> Dirkos: sometimes case matters, sometimes no hyphen, i'm just guessing
[14:17] <nucc1> catphish: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8039232/how-to-get-list-of-supported-encodings-by-iconv-library-in-php per that Dirkos was right…
[14:18] <nucc1> Dirkos: you might wanna see what iconv -l gives you
[14:19] <catphish> maybe system locales need generating then, i forget how to do that

[14:47] <masoudd> Hey ubuntuer! What is the firefox version installed in ubuntu 15.04 images?
[14:48] <xangua> masoudd: 15.04 is no longer supported
[14:48] <baizon> !EOL
[14:48] <masoudd> xangua: I know. I just need to know the version of the firefox installed on it.
[14:49] <arsix> what's the etiquette for trying to get an existing package updated to the latest version of the software it contains? first get in touch with the package maintainer?
[14:49] <masoudd> How can I find that out without downloading and installing 15.04?
[14:50] <lotuspsychje> masoudd: firefox updates itself, on every version of ubuntu
[14:51] <lotuspsychje> !info firefox | masoudd
[14:51] <masoudd> lotuspsychje: I need the initial version installed on the iso images
[14:51] <SchrodingersScat> !info firefox vivid
[14:51] <lotuspsychje> masoudd: why do you need an older version exactly?
[14:51] <minimec> masoudd: in vivid it's http://packages.ubuntu.com/vivid/firefox
[14:52] <masoudd> lotuspsychje: I don't. I need to know the version. I have a firefox add-on and someone reported that it doesn't work for them. All I could get was that they were using ubuntu 15.04
[14:53] <SchrodingersScat> then you should tell them support has ended
[14:53] <masoudd> SchrodingersScat: Who's support?
[14:53] <SchrodingersScat> the world
[14:53] <xangua> ! Vivid | masoudd
[14:54] <masoudd> I would like to support older firefox versions in my add-on
[14:54] <lotuspsychje> masoudd: that would not be smart
[14:54] <masoudd> It may or may not be. But that's not the topic
[14:54] <SchrodingersScat> correct, !EOL versions are off topic
[14:55] <masoudd> I just need to know what version of firefox is installed on 15.04 iso. How can I find that out?
[14:55] <xangua> Figure out what wss the latest stable Firefox when vivid was released
[14:56] <SchrodingersScat> masoudd: http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=ubuntu if you trust distrowatch, otherwise download the iso
[14:57] <masoudd> It's 37. Thank you SchrodingersScat
[14:57] <lotuspsychje> masoudd: or maybe 38 and 39..
[14:58] <lotuspsychje> masoudd: did you friend say at wich time exactly they used firefox?
[14:58] <lotuspsychje> masoudd: firefox versions get updated once in a while right
[14:58] <masoudd> lotuspsychje: Not if they don't update at all
[14:58] <SchrodingersScat> apparently it's a livecd, so the person wants to forever boot into 15.04 and add the addon, or have persistence and always be old versions for no one knows
[14:59] <masoudd> lotuspsychje: Right?
[14:59] <lotuspsychje> masoudd: if they didnt update indeed
[15:00] <lotuspsychje> masoudd: but making support of an addon, on an eol version that isnt updated...?
[15:00] <snowgoggles> this conversation is beginning to sound like troll terrritory
[15:01] <masoudd> lotuspsychje: World is not perfect
[15:01] <masoudd> lotuspsychje: There are people stuck with firefox 14 on windows XP.
[15:01] <lotuspsychje> masoudd: your in #ubuntu here, things go otherwise
[15:02] <humbot> (:
[15:02] <masoudd> I'm just saying not everybody can and would update immediately like their life depended on it
[15:03] <lotuspsychje> !usn | masoudd this is what happens if they don't
[15:04] <masoudd> lotuspsychje: Some systems are air gapped
[15:04] <lotuspsychje> masoudd: lets move on now, keep it support related
[15:04] <lotuspsychje> masoudd: or join #ubuntu-discuss :p
[15:05] <catphish> i just heard / read that ubuntu 14.04.4 ships with Linux 4.2, but my installation (upgraded from older version of Ubuntu) only seems to have Linux 3.13.0, is there some reason i'd be missing the kernel upgrade? here's what i see: http://paste.codebasehq.com/pastes/1cd1403hoht66uhy5y
[15:06] <lotuspsychje> !info linux-image-generic trusty
[15:06] <xangua> catphish: is there a particular reason you need 4.2 kernel?
[15:06] <akkonrad> I've added www-data to sudoers file so it should be able to remove directory: echo "www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/rm" >> /etc/sudoers
[15:06] <catphish> xangua: nope, i'm just confused as to why docs say 14.04.4 ships with 4.2 but its not present in my installation
[15:06] <akkonrad> but after that it still can't remove file/directory
[15:06] <akkonrad> do I need to reload something?
[15:07] <xangua> !hes
[15:08] <xangua> !enablementstack
[15:08] <xangua> catphish: see above
[15:09] <lotuspsychje> akkonrad: what are you playing with? apache?
[15:09] <akkonrad> yes
[15:09] <akkonrad> lotuspsychje, ^
[15:09] <lotuspsychje> akkonrad: maybe the #httpd guys ca give you a hand also?
[15:10] <akkonrad> will ask, but I guess it's more related to os iteslef
[15:10] <lotuspsychje> akkonrad: could be mate, just giving you more options to solve
[15:11] <akkonrad> lotuspsychje, I've added www-data as directory owner of file that I want to remove from. but file is owned by root ,so that's why I want to remove it by www-data
[15:13] <TheSilentLink> hello I installed lubuntu but I got no sound and the mic isn't working... anyhelp?

[15:23] <theorized> popey, yesterday you fixed my upsdie down webcam on firefox using     LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so firefox . Any idea to make it work with chromium? I doesn't show any immage with     LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so chromium-browser
[15:24] <popey> theorized: probably because chromium-browser is a shell script
[15:24] <theorized> popey, is it bad?
[15:25] <popey> try export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so
[15:25] <popey> then on a new line
[15:25] <popey> chromium-browser
[15:25] <popey> (make sure chromium isn't running anywhere)
[15:27] <theorized> popey, nope! Samme issue
[15:27] <popey> don't know then, sorry.
[15:28] <theorized> popey, thank you anyway :)

[15:50] <daftykins> to achieve what?
[15:51] <neutron> hi
[15:52] <lerner> goldendict was last updated in 2013. It cannot handle large libraries (mine crashes every time I open it). what alternatives there are?
[15:52] <daftykins> www.alternativeto.net
[15:52] <neutron> I am looking for a channel where someone knows how  to use hydra
[15:52] <nicomachus> !alis | neutron try using this
[15:53] <setuid> daftykins, To create an rsync mirror of it
[15:53] <setuid> I mirror a large number of OSS projects, ISOs, etc.
[15:54] <daftykins> setuid: it's concerning to me that you are doing things with old insecure releases at all
[15:54] <daftykins> you should be letting them die
[15:54] <neutron> !alis
[15:54] <setuid> daftykins, Because people use them for testing, lab work, learning

[16:00] <Canada89> hi
[16:01] <Canada89> how are you
[16:01] <herrkin> hi community, I am developing with udev, I dont know if its the right place to discus it, I  am trying to figure out which ports belong to a single device. but I am still not able to figure out an easy way to identify it using for exmple the syspath.
[16:01] <herrkin> can anybody help me with that?
[16:01] <daftykins> Canada89: this is a support channel for ubuntu, support questions here - chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:01] <Canada89> herrkin
[16:01] <lotuspsychje> herrkin: maybe #ubuntu-devel ?
[16:01] <herrkin> ok let me see, thanks
[16:03] <setuid> or #kernel-devel
[16:03] <Canada89> hi i asking simple question
[16:03] <herrkin> another thing about ubuntu, I messed up the codecs
[16:04] <herrkin> I have no idea how to repair those (about dependencies)
[16:04] <lotuspsychje> herrkin: tell us what happens exactly?
[16:04] <Canada89> i have asus eeepc701 which ubuntu distribution is suggested?
[16:05] <herrkin> I tried to see some video files and I ended up installing some libs and now I cant use lots of apps. for example I cant use any sip phones.
[16:05] <daftykins> none, those Eee PCs are such rubbish that nothing modern will run well on them now
[16:05] <daftykins> Canada89: you're better off disposing of it.
[16:05] <herrkin> they say they need some lib but ubuntu wont install it
[16:05] <brian> hi
[16:05] <Canada89> what better dafty?
[16:06] <somsip> Canada89: you can install minimal Ubuntu on them fine, with a very light DM like openbox, If it's a 4G Surf
[16:06] <lotuspsychje> herrkin: did you mess with external ppa's of any kind?
[16:06] <Canada89> yes it is 4g surf
[16:06] <abhishek> hi, i have updated my system then i rebooted and its showing an error "starting version 219"
[16:06] <somsip> Canada89: it's donable. I had one as a carry-about until the keyboard died. Console only on that one though I did install openbox previously
[16:06] <somsip> *doable
[16:06] <Guest93789> is there a separate channel for Zorin or this the place to go?
[16:07] <abhishek> how can i fix starting version 219
[16:07] <lotuspsychje> !alis | Guest93789
[16:07] <umoukun> Doe anyone know how to fix this error when trying to install something?
[16:07] <umoukun> dpkg: error: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 1491 package 'libfreetype6:amd64':
[16:07] <umoukun>  duplicate value for `Architecture' field
[16:07] <nicomachus> abhishek: are you booting with quiet splash?
[16:07] <abhishek> what is queit splash
[16:07] <Canada89> thanks
[16:07] <nicomachus> I'll take that as a no.
[16:08] <nicomachus> abhishek: what version of Ubuntu are you running? and what graphics driver?
[16:08] <abhishek> no i installed in whole system
[16:09] <nicomachus> abhishek: .... that doesn't answer either of my questions.
[16:09] <akik> Canada89: try lubuntu, it's using lxde
[16:09] <abhishek> i am not using any application for booting
[16:09] <nicomachus> abhishek: what version of Ubuntu are you running?
[16:09] <abhishek> 15.04
[16:09] <brian_> have question about permissions and LAMP
[16:09] <Canada89> i installed old release of ubuntu with gnome and it works wery well
[16:09] <nicomachus> abhishek: 15.04 is EOL, you need to upgrade.
[16:10] <nicomachus> !vivid | abhishek
[16:10] <Canada89> akik
[16:10] <akik> Canada89: so what is the problem?
[16:10] <Canada89> i installed old release because it depends for my hardware
[16:11] <lotuspsychje> brian_: best to ask your specific question here, or in #ubuntu-server perhaps
[16:11] <brian_> ty
[16:11] <nicomachus> abhishek: that 219 error is a bug in 15.04 anyway, so upgrading to 15.10 will fix it.
[16:11] <brian_> i cant overwrite the index.html file in www
[16:11] <brian_> should i change thru terminal?
[16:12] <brian_> for security reasons
[16:12] <abhishek> thanxx.....nicomachus.....i will try to upgrade
[16:13] <lotuspsychje> !lamp | brian_
[16:13] <lotuspsychje> brian_: maybe the #httpd guys might also know
[16:14] <brian_> trying to do php/mysql testing but cant alter the www folder files
[16:14] <brian_> ok
[16:16] <somsip> brian_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/46331/how-to-avoid-using-sudo-when-working-in-var-www
[16:17] <brian_> ty i will read that in a bit
[16:20] <brian_> what is channel list cmd? i havent used IRC in years

[16:21] <n-iCe> hi guys, I'm thinking in change my linux distro, but I have a folder with more than 50GB of pictures, I don't have an external hard drive or something, can I partitionate my hard drive, and move all to there? so I can use that partition as a backup?
[16:22] <somsip> n-iCe: backup first whatever you do. You only lose stuff like that once
[16:22] <nicomachus> You could. Google Drive also offers 50GB of free space that you could use to backup. I believe dropbox also does 50gb for free.
[16:22] <nicomachus> and MEGA
[16:22] <n-iCe> somsip: that's what I want
[16:23] <somsip> n-iCe: backup to a drive that you are not changing partitions on
[16:23] <somsip> n-iCe: low risk of total lose, but a high cost if it does
[16:23] <somsip> *loss
[16:24] <IonutVan_> n-iCe external hdd if you have is better
[16:24] <n-iCe> IonutVan_: I don't
[16:24] <IonutVan_> cloud storage then
[16:24] <IonutVan_> gdrive, box, mega, ...
[16:24] <n-iCe> says that will take 1 week
[16:24] <umoukun> is there some bug screwing up dpkg right now?
[16:24] <umoukun> sudo dpkg --configure -a
[16:25] <umoukun> dpkg: error: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 1945 package 'makedev':
[16:25] <nicomachus> umoukun: no, no bug. what's your error?
[16:25] <IonutVan_> n-iCe go and buy a 64GB usb stick and save them there, is a pizza money :)
[16:25] <umoukun> when I try to install packages
[16:25] <umoukun> it complains about errors parsing that file
[16:25] <\9> umoukun: pastebin the entire output
[16:25] <IonutVan_> n-iCe or even 2x32 GB usb sticks, maybe will be cheaper than 1x64GB
[16:26] <brian_> in US Big lots has 32G stick for 20USD
[16:26] <IonutVan_> n-iCe for example:  http://www.amazon.de/SanDisk-SDCZ48-032G-U46-Ultra-Flash-Drive/dp/B00DQG9OZ2/
[16:26] <IonutVan_> 10 euro
[16:27] <IonutVan_> buy two of them and done :)
[16:27] <umoukun> http://pastebin.com/7408ZdJa
[16:27] <wsdjeg> anyone use gnome-terminal + irssi
[16:28] <nicomachus> wsdjeg: I do, why?
[16:28] <IonutVan_> n-iCe it seems that 64GB usb stick is only 16-17 euro:  http://www.amazon.de/SanDisk-SDCZ43-064G-G46-Ultra-Flash-Drive/dp/B00LLEODCK/
[16:28] <wsdjeg> why alt + num does not switch between window, but esc + num works
[16:28] <\9> umoukun: you seem to not have debconf installed when debconf is needed for installing
[16:28] <lotuspsychje> IonutVan_: lets not make it the hardware talk here
[16:28] <IonutVan_> lotuspsychje ok, sorry, just gave it some ideas
[16:28] <nicomachus> wsdjeg: alt+num works fine for me, but that's more of a question for #irssi
[16:28] <IonutVan_> gave him*
[16:28] <\9> umoukun: what happens if you do: sudo apt-get install debconf?
[16:29] <\9> without the question mrak
[16:29] <\9> mark*
[16:29] <wsdjeg> what is your irssi version and terminal version?
[16:29] <umoukun> I did sudo dpkg --clear-avail and now it fixed that error, but now it is saying: multiarch-support is unpacked, but has never been configured.
[16:29] <\9> wsdjeg: at least on mate-terminal, alt+num changes tabs
[16:30] <\9> wsdjeg: alt and esc are the same as far as ncurses applications are concerned
[16:30] <\9> which is why esc works
[16:30] <t4nk555> hi on trusty here. according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Chromium/Getting-Flash i should install adobe-flashplugin for flash support in chromium, but i dont see it in chrome://plugins - any idea? chromium-browser:   Installed: 48.0.2564.116-0ubuntu0.14.04.1.1111 | adobe-flashplugin:   Installed: 1:20160209.1-0ubuntu0.14.04.1
[16:31] <lotuspsychje> t4nk555: pepperflash for chromium
[16:31] <nicomachus> t4nk555: it's not in chrome://plugins, you install it via terminal. but I would use pepperflash as lotuspsychje suggests.
[16:31] <\9> umoukun: so, try configure it? dpkg --configure multiarch-support
[16:31] <wsdjeg> maybe it is due to how my terminal send `alt` to the app
[16:31] <herrkin> lotuspsychje, yes
[16:31] <nicomachus> wsdjeg: it could be in your irssi shortcut settings. again, more of a question for #irssi I'd say.
[16:31] <wsdjeg> and I am using ubuntu 15.10
[16:31] <t4nk555> ty, i'll try pepperflash. I jus was curious because page suggests "As of 2015-05, the old "pepperflashplugin-nonfree" is deprecated in favor of an official"
[16:31] <n-iCe> IonutVan_: ok, I'm going to buy one better
[16:31] <\9> wsdjeg: or if it doesn't send alt at all, because of the possible reason i outlined above
[16:32] <herrkin> lotuspsychje, any way to clean it?
[16:32] <lotuspsychje> !info pepperflashplugin-nonfree | t4nk555
[16:32] <lotuspsychje> !ppapurge | herrkin
[16:32] <\9> wsdjeg: i just tested, gnome-terminal does indeed exhibit the tab-changing behavior with alt
[16:32] <wsdjeg> \9: thanks
[16:33] <herrkin> lotuspsychje, that would make all of the packages default ubuntu repo? what about the packages that are external from ubuntu? for example I am using a deb from rabbitmq
[16:34] <lotuspsychje> herrkin: we cant support external ppa's here mate sorry
[16:34] <herrkin> ok
[16:34] <lotuspsychje> herrkin: it can get your system in trouble like now
[16:35] <BluesKaj> herrkin, you could get some suggestions from #ubuntu-devel perhaps
[16:35] <\9> umoukun: if all else fails, try use a livecd and chroot to the system and resume installation there. it seems that your lack of system functionality is getting in the way of the installation process
[16:38] <Bailey831> guys, anyone here has try android app on ubuntu? Recently some people tell they succeed try android on kubuntu desktop
[16:39] <xangua> Bailey831: there are some projects to run Android apps on Linux desktop, if that's what you mean
[16:41] <skinux> Has the latest LTS already been released?
yupps I've read article on wiki, android OS was based on linux kernel, please tell me some of them
[16:41] <lotuspsychje> !xenial | skinux
[16:42] <\9> skinux: final release slanted for 21st
[16:42] <skinux> Ah, okay.
[16:42] <\9> 21st of april that is
[16:43] <lotuspsychje> skinux: or you can install the daily image to help testing right now, see #ubuntu+1
16.04 released on April (4)?
[16:46] <BluesKaj> Bailey831, Apr 21
[16:50] <lotuspsychje> just for info, firefox 45 is out update your system :p
[16:51] <briandw1969> i tried to change permissions to 022
[16:51] <briandw1969> still ant edit index.html
[16:51] <briandw1969> *cant
[16:51] <zykotick9> briandw1969: ahhh, 022 - why?  user = no permission with that.
[16:52] <k1l_> briandw1969: 022? why that?
[16:52] <briandw1969> ok i misread the article
[16:52] <fluffy> bush did 9/11 allahu akbar
[16:53] <briandw1969> i am the only 'user' on the system
[16:53] <briandw1969> what should it be?
[16:53] <briandw1969> new to Unix
[16:54] <lotuspsychje> briandw1969: best to repeat the full story in one line, when re-asking so others can help you better mate
[16:55] <briandw1969> maybe 077?
[16:55] <daftykins> nobody wants to look at all your separate messages and glue them together, briandw1969
[16:55] <briandw1969> sorry
[16:56] <k1l_> briandw1969: what do you want to do at all?
[16:56] <zykotick9> briandw1969: note it's also possible to use ugo (user/group/other) with chmod... so "sudo chmod u+rw foo" would give user read/write permission.
[16:56] <briandw1969> i have LAMP set up and i cannot rewrite/replace the index.html or others files in www folder what permissions should i set to
[16:57] <k1l_> briandw1969: and the numbers are for user,group,everyone. so 0XX will always grant the owner 0 permissions
[16:57] <andy_wfc> I have a fresh 14.04 server install w/ a static IP defined in /etc/network/interfaces. After ~8 hours it switched to using a DHCP-assigned address. Running ifdown & ifup on the interface restores the static IP but what might cause the switch. Is there an additional setting somewhere?
[16:58] <k1l_> briandw1969: stop fiddeling with permissions then. put your user into the www-data group
 what are you talking about?
[16:58] <k1l_> Bailey831: dont mind the trolls. he is gone
[16:58] <briandw1969> i read that also and wasnt sure of any problems with it
[16:59] <daftykins> andy_wfc: nope, but if you never did a full reboot i wouldn't be surprised
[16:59] <k1l_> briandw1969: so did you put your user into the www-data group? did you relogin after that? does it work now?
[16:59] <cryptomonk> greetings
[16:59] <daftykins> hi
[16:59] <cryptomonk> how can you enable CORS in a LAMP environment with a wildcard so anyone can access it?
[16:59] <briandw1969> havent done yet,still noob to unix
[17:00] <cryptomonk> or what is the best solution
[17:00] <daftykins> *Linux
[17:00] <k1l_> briandw1969: so stop saying you are a noob and start using it and learning. where is your exact issue now?
[17:00] <briandw1969> see lol
[17:00] <lotuspsychje> !lamp | cryptomonk
[17:01] <briandw1969> just want to write files to www so i can get around to web testing
[17:01] <lotuspsychje> cryptomonk: maybe the #ubuntu-server guys might also know that one
[17:01] <andy_wfc> daftykins: out of curiosity what service(s) are the relevant ones where a reboot would make the static IP permanent?
 briandw1969: so did you put your user into the www-data group? did you relogin after that? does it work now?
[17:01] <briandw1969> what is the cmd to do that
[17:03] <zykotick9> briandw1969: how did you install "LAMP" exactly?  with apt-get/synaptic/U.S.C. or was it something you downloaded from internet?
[17:03] <briandw1969> apt gey
[17:03] <briandw1969> *get
[17:03] <k1l_> !adduser | briandw1969
[17:03] <zykotick9> briandw1969: ok, just checking.
[17:03] <k1l_> briandw1969: "sudo adduser user group"
[17:04] <k1l_> briandw1969: and you really need to look into those basics and start to learn them.
[17:05] <briandw1969> yes i know i have started downloading cmd 'cheat sheets'
[17:07] <matthewkim> hello~
[17:07] <daftykins> andy_wfc: none.
[17:08] <ubuntu-mate> Hmm
[17:08] <snowgoggles> briandw1969:  perhaps you should use a vm envorinment for your LAMP stack in an unfamiliar OS...that way you can mess it up and then revert your changes
[17:08] <briandw1969> true,i have virtualbox installed
[17:08] <Saxophone> Anyone can help me with a Tor on Ubuntu Live (no persistance) installation? The current guide is a bit confusing.
[17:08] <snowgoggles> briandw1969: are you snapshotting your changes?
[17:09] <Saxophone> Got some instructions here: https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en
[17:09] <briandw1969> no,this is an expendable machine,nothing i cant reload
[17:09] <Saxophone> But my version is Vivid Vervet, so can I just type that then?
[17:10] <daftykins> Saxophone: that's EOL.
[17:10] <\9> !vivid|Saxophone
[17:10] <daftykins> we do not help with EOL releases
[17:10] <Saxophone> Oh I see.
[17:11] <k1l_> Saxophone: dont use 15.04 anymore. its insecure now
[17:11] <Saxophone> Mk mk, ty.
[17:11] <Saxophone> Still, 2 more questions about this install? In case I want to do it in future.
[17:11] <Saxophone> Or just 1 at least...do I do from Source Tor or just regular?
[17:12] <k1l_> !tor | Saxophone
[17:12] <Saxophone> Oh right you guys have scripts, eat
[17:12] <Saxophone> *neat
[17:13] <Saxophone> Yeah the repositories are not advised on the main page.
[17:13] <k1l_> Saxophone: use an actual supported ubuntu. use the packages from tor website.
[17:13] <Saxophone> Right, will switch.
[17:15] <Saxophone> By the way, general question...It seems that if I torrent in Transmition, this does not affect Windows (minus installing something, which I don't). This is true right?
[17:17] <lotuspsychje> Saxophone: what do you mean by affect
[17:17] <Saxophone> Like, in torrenting clients, it opens up Windows to vulnerabilities since you open connections. If you do it from Windows.
[17:18] <daftykins> that's a silly statement, ALL internet based connectivity is opening up to attack
[17:19] <Saxophone> Right, but if its on a live USB torrenting with Win partition unmounted it shouldn't bother it. I.e. what harms can attacks cause via Linux with no persistence?
[17:20] <lotuspsychje> Saxophone: start from the beginning mate, install a supported ubuntu version
[17:20] <lotuspsychje> Saxophone: this way you wont get any security attacks
[17:20] <daftykins> Saxophone: running an internet based application on a non-updatable live session is fundamentally ridiculous
[17:23] <Saxophone> Ok, but assuming the files are ok, what harm can it really do? It has no access to system files and partition, and session prevents any changes on next redo, plus I can just reformat if I need to.
[17:23] <daftykins> it doesn't touch Windows, but the way you're using your computer is ridiculous in my opinion
[17:23] <daftykins> now as we've said, move away from the EOL release
[17:24] <Saxophone> Yeah I will when I restart soon. Although I could do with less opinions, I just wanted some technical details. ;p
[17:24] <daftykins> these are technically based opinions
[17:25] <daftykins> you are being a very silly internet user, mark my words.
[17:25] <Amm0n> Using tor on an installation without knowing what it does and how to prevent ipleaks is ridiculous :)
[17:25] <Saxophone> I'm not doing anything shady, just getting Game of Thrones lol. I asked about Tor cause I was curios.
[17:26] <daftykins> aaand ignored
[17:26] <Amm0n> Use Tails
[17:26] <Saxophone> Yeah I have Tails.
[17:26] <Saxophone> I wanted to test the Tor install process in case of doing Ubuntu on a machine. Will get a stable first tho'.
[17:42] <texla> I have Ubuntu-14.04.4 installed on a Desktop and a laptop I used a live cd to install an o/s to a usb pen drive from the desktop the pen drive will run on the desktop but not on the laptop the laptop only opens the folders from the pen drive.....why!!!
[17:43] <k1l_> texla: what is on that pendrive?
[17:44] <texla> I linuxlite
[17:44] <ZeloZelos> can we do a full install to usb key?, i dont want to set up persistence, the user keeps breaking it somehow.
[17:44] <k1l_> and the issue is now what exactly? your laptop cant boot from usb?
[17:44] <texla> Another has mint 17 and another pclinos and work on pc
[17:46] <k1l_> ZeloZelos: you can install onto a usb. just choose that as destination in the installer
[17:46] <Jordan_U> ZeloZelos: Yes, but as USB drives tend to be slow it's going to run slowly. Also, if you plan to use it on multiple machines via UEFI there are additional considerations that you need to take into account.
[17:47] <ZeloZelos> i have a usb key set up for install, the usb is for 1 system that has no internal disk, i have a blank 20gb key ready to go, booted installer and the blank usb did not show up
[17:47] <k1l_> yeah, you loose the mobility then in most cases. but if its static in that machine then why not (besides its really really slow)
[17:47] <texla> k1l_, The problem is that it does not boot from usb it can mount but does not boot
[17:48] <ZeloZelos> do i mount the 20gb disk (installing to) ? with pmount? mount?
[17:49] <k1l_> texla: if you talk about "mounting" its already to late. since booting doesnt work when another OS is running already.
[17:49] <Jordan_U> ZeloZelos: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l".
[17:50] <Jordan_U> ZeloZelos: When working properly, the installer will do all mounting itself (after partitioning is done).
[17:50] <ZeloZelos> Jordan_U, i get that, how do i get the installer to see the usb key as the target to install to?
[17:51] <k1l_> ZeloZelos: open a terminal and do a "sudo parted -l" after the other usb is plugged in, while beeing on the live desktop mode
[17:51] <texla> k1l_, I am not trying to run two o/s at once I insert the pen drive then start the laptop up
[17:52] <ZeloZelos> then what k1l_?
[17:52] <k1l_> texla: there is no "Mounting" in bios boot mode. so it makes no sense to talk about that. if you mount the usb drive after another OS is already loaded that is not related to booting that usb
[17:52] <ZeloZelos> i c
[17:52] <k1l_> ZeloZelos: show the outpu in a paste.ubuntu.com and show the link here
[17:53] <ZeloZelos> i will have to wait till she comes back home, she took the laptop with her to school
[17:53] <Jordan_U> ZeloZelos: That command won't change anything, it will just get us information to better understand the state of your system.
[17:53] <ZeloZelos> what will i be looking for?
[17:54] <k1l_> ZeloZelos: if the 2nd usb drive is listed there
[17:54] <ZeloZelos> kk, if it is not?
[17:54] <k1l_> look at dmesg what the issue is.
[17:54] <k1l_> also, try another usb port
[17:54] <texla> k1l_, Mounting is just to say it shows me the files after the ubuntu is loaded rather than the other o/s from startup
[17:54] <ZeloZelos> it only has the 2, they both work
[17:55] <ZeloZelos> i think 1 is usb3, does that make any difference?
[17:55] <jetole> Hey guys. I want to pin a PPA but I don't understand how I determine what the name should be that I configure for pinning for a PPA. Can anyone help me understand how that apt preference name is defined for a ppa or any other source?
[17:56] <k1l_> ZeloZelos: ok. if you dont want to provide the output via a pastebin so others can look you need to make conclusions yourself
[17:56] <k1l_> texla: i dont know if linuxlite needs special handling of their isos
[17:56] <ZeloZelos> i would like to, but the system is not here..i suppose i could do it with this machine
[17:56] <lotuspsychje> !pinning | jetole is what you need?
[17:57] <ZeloZelos> i will try that thanks for the advice/help ;)
[17:57] <lotuspsychje> jetole: we dont support external ppa's neither if thats what your trying?
[17:58] <texla> k1l_, But it and all the others work on the desktop I wonder why the laptop is different
[17:58] <k1l_> texla: does that machine boot other usbs?
[17:59] <k1l_> texla: please first chech the bios settings and the bios boot menu.
[17:59] <jetole> lotuspsychje: I have read that a couple times but if I want to pin a PPA, I don't understand how I figure out what name to use for "Pin: release o=". They show an example with one PPA but I don't understand, for example "Pin: release o=LP-PPA-kubuntu-ppa-backports", how did they determine the name is "LP-PPA-kubuntu-ppa-backports" ?
[17:59] <jetole> lotuspsychje: no I don't need help with the PPA itself. The PPA I am sure works fine. I am asking about APT pinning in general with PPA
[18:00] <lotuspsychje> jetole: maybe start from the beginning, you need a ppa for wich package?
[18:01] <jetole> lotuspsychje: I have the ppa. It's for a newer version of tmux but there are packages in the ppa that I want to ensure are not accidentally installed over system provided packages so I am trying to determine how I create the name for the PPA used for pinning and want to understand how it's actually created so I can apply the same logic to any PPA based pinning in the future regardless of the source PPA
[18:02] <texla> k1l_, I have checked the bios and set to boot for cd/dvd which is the only other setting with the accept ion of normal boot the cd and dvd boot normally
[18:02] <lotuspsychje> jetole: wich ubuntu version are you on?
[18:02] <SkepticalParrot> I used a Kali Linux live USB to test the security of my network... and then afterwards, attempting to boot into my ubuntu OS... I could not boot. And my laptops software that scans for issues came back with corrupted OS. Is there anything I can do at this point?
[18:03] <lotuspsychje> SkepticalParrot: can you still enter grub?
[18:03] <jetole> lotuspsychje: so my question is how do I determine the name used in pinning of a PPA. How do I get "LP-PPA-kubuntu-ppa-backports" (Used in the example on the pinning documentation page you posted) from "ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports" ?
[18:03] <jetole> lotuspsychje: 15.10
[18:03] <lotuspsychje> !backports | jetole
[18:03] <artur> most recomended virtualisation tool for linux/ubuntu?
[18:03] <SkepticalParrot> lotuspsychje: no. It doesn't even boot to grub.
[18:03] <lotuspsychje> artur: virtualbox is pretty nice
[18:04] <jetole> lotuspsychje: I don't think you understand the question. The backports page doesn't have a answer regarding the naming convention
[18:04] <SkepticalParrot> I encrypted my installation and now I cannot back up my files.
[18:04] <artur> except virtualbox ;)
[18:05] <jetole> for the pin name, for a ppa? do I just prefix the referenced ppa with "LP-PPA-" and then change the ppa tag "/" to "-"
[18:05] <jetole> ?
[18:05] <jetole> looking at the example, that looks like how it's done
[18:06] <SkepticalParrot> The installation is Ubuntu desktop... can I rescue it with the Ubuntu Server live USB?
[18:07] <lotuspsychje> artur: vmware
[18:07] <artur> on linux?
[18:07] <jetole> SkepticalParrot: Did you encrypt your /home directory or did you encrypt the root partition?
[18:07] <artur> cool didnt know
[18:07] <SkepticalParrot> I think both.
[18:08] <jetole> SkepticalParrot: what is displayed on the console when you boot? You said it doesn't boot to grub. What does it do?
[18:10] <SkepticalParrot> jetole: it says "Media test failure, check cable." then says "No Boot Device found. Press any key to reboot the machine."
[18:10] <jetole> SkepticalParrot: I would boot into a live distro with a gui (easier to multi task) you may be able to do this with ubuntu server but it won't provide anything you don't already have...
[18:11] <jetole> SkepticalParrot: in the live OS, look at your partitions, try to mount them, etc
[18:12] <jetole> SkepticalParrot:  from the live, you can run `sudo apt-get install gparted` (without the quotes) and it can give you a good view. Then you can try mounting them from the command line with something like `mount /dev/sda1 /mnt` (that is if /dev/sda1 is a partition
[18:13] <jetole> SkepticalParrot: if you cannot mount a partition like that due to some mount error and you have looked at all partitions then, I am not saying your system needs a re-install yet, because I just can't know enough about it over chat, but chances are that it probably will and if you don't have the knowledge or experience, this can be a very difficult thing for someone to remotely assist with over IRC
[18:13] <k1l_> texla: did the laptop boot other usb pendrives or other OS on that exact pendrive before?
[18:13] <jetole> SkepticalParrot: maybe boot a live distro and install team viewer in the live distro and let someone connect to it remotely to troubleshoot
[18:14] <SkepticalParrot> Oh, I know how to install operating systems.
[18:14] <SkepticalParrot> Mom comes to me for tech support. lol
[18:14] <humbot> :|
[18:15] <Eliter> How do I deal with apt-get saying "0 upgraded, 0 newly insatlled, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded."?
[18:16] <Eliter> I am using Ubuntu Desktop
[18:16] <lyze> Eliter: do you want to upgrade them … or what?
[18:16] <Eliter> lyze: yeah, I want to upgrade them
[18:16] <lyze> Eliter: sudo apt-get upgrade
[18:16] <Eliter> lyze: I did that
[18:16] <texla> k1l_, I have other pen drives made the same way on the same desktop>ie: mint 17 pclinuxos,puppylinux porteus,etc they all react the same way on the laptop
[18:16] <lyze> Eliter: also a dist-upgrade ?
[18:16] <Eliter> still same results
[18:17] <humbot> use -f
[18:17] <Eliter> lyze: never heard of that. I will try that
[18:17] <humbot> not dist-upgrade
[18:17] <squinty>  Eliter  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[18:17] <k1l_> texla: so the laptop cant boot from usb
[18:17] <squinty> Eliter,  probably new kernel files
[18:17] <k1l_> Eliter: run "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade"
[18:18] <texla> k1l_, It will not boot usb pen drives from the laptop
[18:18] <k1l_> the apt got a better naming of the "dist-upgrade" command: apt full-upgrade. that is not so confusing
[18:18] <Eliter> k1l_: I've seen people do that. What does the "&&" do?
[18:18] <k1l_> texla: ok, so we dont have an ubuntu issue here at all
[18:19] <k1l_> Eliter: it will run the command after the && only when the first command did finish successfull
[18:19] <texla> k1l_, I think you are correct in your analysis
[18:19] <Eliter> oh, ok. :)
[18:20] <k1l_> texla: so its time to get the manual of that laptop :)
[18:20] <SkepticalParrot> jetole: it says crypto_LUKS is an unknown file type. Is there any way for me to back up my files?
[18:21] <SkepticalParrot> All my stuff is on that partition.
[18:21] <texla> k1l_, Okay tha ks a bunch for the help
[18:22] <jetole> SkepticalParrot: what command did you run or what was happening when it mentioned LUKS file type
[18:22] <SkepticalParrot> jetole: I did "sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt"
[18:22] <kolbasz> anyone use ubuntu on one of the solidrun cubox systems?
[18:22] <SkepticalParrot> after doing lsblk to identify the partition.
[18:22] <mekhami> is there a relatively painless way to do screen capture videos in ubuntu?
[18:23] <jetole> SkepticalParrot: sudo apt-get install cryptsetup
[18:23] <jetole> then try again @ mount command
[18:23] <AlexQ> Hi. Are bad sectors mapped only on the filesystem level, or are HDDs able to map them out and omit them on the hardware level?
[18:23] <lyze> mekhami: simple screen recorder, open broadcaster …
[18:23] <zykotick9> SkepticalParrot: note, if it's crypto_LUKS you need to unlock the partition first, then mount it from /dev/mapper/FOO...  good luck.
[18:24] <compdoc> AlexQ, the hdd keeps track and 'reallocates' with spare sectors, and if SMART says you have any, its time for a new drive
[18:24] <uforobot> ciao
[18:25] <zykotick9> SkepticalParrot: you might want to see http://askubuntu.com/questions/63594/mount-encrypted-volumes-from-command-line
[18:26] <mekhami> lyze: does that capture audio as well?
[18:27] <lyze> mekhami: I don't know about simple screen recorder but open broadcast software "studio" will defintively do.
[18:27] <lyze> mekhami: that one has also advanced features like recording a single video, overlapping multiple windows, multiple screens, embedding animations and a lot more
[18:27] <AlexQ> compdoc: I wanted to use an old drive for non-critical tasks, such as a HDD for a PVR. BTW. Does SMART work via USB2.0 to SATA enclosures? I installed gnome-disks or sth, and it shows SMART data for the internal drive, but the SMART option is grayed out for the external one connected with USB.
[18:28] <mekhami> lyze: i've used OBS on windows before, didn't know it was available on linux. Excellent, thank you!
[18:28] <compdoc> AlexQ, with usb, sometimes smart works and sometimes not
[18:28] <AlexQ> compdoc: Depends if the enclosure supports it?
[18:28] <lyze> mekhami: No problem! They are currently rewriting it to make it platform independent. It works very well actually already
[18:28] <uforobot> list
[18:29] <back> .
[18:29] <compdoc> AlexQ, right. you could remove the drive from the case for testing
[18:29] <Guest62364> hello all
[18:30] <compdoc> AlexQ, once sectors start to fail, they dont stop. you could easily damage files or lose entire directories
[18:32] <SkepticalParrot> zykotick9: Cannot use device /dev/sda3 which is in use (already mapped or mounted)
[18:33] <AlexQ> compdoc: As I am saying, I only want to record some stuff from TV, or play sth on the TV. If the disk fails completely and I loose everything on it, let it be
[18:33] <compdoc> then no problems
[18:33] <es> hey
[18:33] <SkepticalParrot> tried sudo mount /dev/mapper/sda3 and says mount: /blah/blah/blah mounting read-only special device /blah/blah/blah does not exist.
[18:34] <zykotick9> SkepticalParrot: so it's already in use!  reboot, might be the easiest solution?  or figure out where it's mounted?
[18:34] <AlexQ> compdoc: I don't understand... I can write 4 512M blocks from /dev/null to that device and I get no errors, but when I read, it crashes on 1.7GB
[18:34] <compdoc> smart is the only way to know whats happening
[18:35] <zykotick9> SkepticalParrot: did you call it sda3 when using "sudo cryptsetup luksOpen NAME"?
[18:36] <zykotick9> SkepticalParrot: <sidenote> you can't trust sdXY to stay the same!  are you _sure_ it's the right partition?  are you also using LVM?
[18:36] <AlexQ> compdoc: I don't remember how much data I wrote on the beginning of the disk to get rid of the partition table quickly... Maybe less and now the HDD mapped the block out. I'll try to read again. Okay, I'll connect that HDD to a PC later directly via SATA and check SMART and do some tests then
[18:36] <SkepticalParrot> zytotick9: yes. And I ran "mount" in the command line and I don't see it mounted... also, yes... I'm sure it's the right partition.
[18:37] <SkepticalParrot> Is it possible the bootloader is corrupted?
[18:37] <SkepticalParrot> And that's why I can't boot?
[18:37] <zykotick9> SkepticalParrot: does "ls /dev/mapper/" list anything?
[18:37] <SkepticalParrot> Yeah. 4 things.
[18:38] <Mia> I'm looking for a dropdown terminal solution in ubuntu
[18:38] <Mia> shat should I install
[18:38] <SkepticalParrot> "control" "crypt_LUKS" "ubuntu--vg-root" and "ubuntu--vg-swap_1"
[18:39] <uforobot> ciao
[18:39] <zykotick9> SkepticalParrot: so you're using LVM as well!  that's going to require additional mounting stuff!  i don't know the exact preceedure sorry.
[18:39] <SkepticalParrot> :(
[18:40] <jilocasin0> 'ello all
[18:40] <AlexQ> compdoc: Okay, I installed smartctl and it seems to be working for that device even via USB 2.0. I don't know much about SMART reports, though. Could you please have a look? http://paste.ubuntu.com/15336434/ - thats smartctl -x /dev/sdb, hope that's a good command to get some general info
[18:40] <zykotick9> SkepticalParrot: that "ubuntu--vg-root" is probably what you're after...  best of luck - research mounting LVM or better yet, encrypted LVM from command line.
[18:40] <jilocasin0> started running into this error on updating:  W:Failed to fetch http://ubuntu.mirror.constant.com/dists/wily-updates/main/source/Sources  Hash Sum mismatch
[18:40] <jilocasin0> among others.
[18:41] <jilocasin0> Is this related to the imminent release of 16.4 maybe?
[18:41] <Eliter> so I'm having issues with the screen being too small, with my guest OS being Ubuntu on virtualbox.
[18:41] <compdoc> AlexQ, theres nothing wrong with the drive
[18:41] <k1l_> Eliter: install the guest-additions on that ubuntu guest
[18:42] <Eliter> I am looking at this article: http://askubuntu.com/questions/104440/how-do-you-resize-the-standard-ubuntu-desktop-inside-of-virtualbox and it cannot install virtualbox-guest-x11, since it depends on other things
[18:42] <compdoc> AlexQ, maybe the cable or the external's electronics or power supply
[18:42] <k1l_> jilocasin0: just run it again and see if that error happens again. or wait till the server is synced properly. or remove the old apt caches
[18:43] <SkepticalParrot> After this, I am never encrypting my stuff again.
[18:43] <k1l_> jilocasin0: and its not related to the new ubuntu release in april
[18:43] <Eliter> ooops! I missed the or there!
[18:43] <SkepticalParrot> If this ever happens again and I need to rescue my stuff...
[18:43] <jilocasin0> k11_: yea it's still happening....  those are the basic ubuntu repos for wily
[18:43] <lyze> SkepticalParrot: Regular backups would be also a way to prevent that
[18:44] <k1l_> jilocasin0: sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
[18:44] <k1l_> jilocasin0: then try again
[18:44] <jilocasin0> k11_: the last time something like this happened was just before 15.10 was released
[18:44] <jilocasin0> k11_: it corrected itself several days later, hence the question.
[18:45] <k1l_> jilocasin0: its not related to releases (since its in april when 16.04 will be released) its just that your mirror is not in 100% sync to the main server. so either you clear the cached list now with that command or wait until its in sync again
[18:45] <AlexQ> compdoc: Strange, when I was copying some files I got errors and Xubuntu even crashed (the whole X session crashed, apparently). It was kind of crazy, but that was on another laptop. Maybe the enclosure is no good, but that would be strange to have read errors two times in the exact same spot, and no bad sector reports in SMART still. PS. How can I check if the HDD + enclosure needs more than standard 0.5 A / 5V power? It came with 
[18:48] <compdoc> AlexQ, in smart, you look for Reallocated_Sector_Ct, Reallocated_Event_Count, Current_Pending_Sector, and Offline_Uncorrectable. Yours are all zero. Theres one other named g-force errors or something that shows if the drive has been dropped or knocked around. yours doesnt have that, but no big deal
[18:48] <Fillipe> Hey guys, I'm adding SSL certificate but it crashes after I reload it
[18:48] <compdoc> AlexQ, if sectors were having problems reading/writing, the drive records it in smart
[18:48] <Fillipe> I'm not finding Ubuntu log error for that
[18:48] <AlexQ> compdoc: Thanks very much
[18:50] <zykotick9> SkepticalParrot: so far the best howto i could find is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=940904
[18:50] <jilocasin0> k11_: rm'd the lists and tried again, same result.....
[18:51] <AlexQ> compdoc: Yeah, now I read 2 GiB of data with no errors this time. Maybe some strange error caused by the enclosure then. Thanks again
[18:52] <compdoc> good luck
[18:52] <Anthony-L> hi, I'm having trouble installing Google Chrome. I tried using the software manager/updater. It doesn't seem to want to install it.
[18:52] <Anthony-L> I downloaded it from the Google website.
[18:56] <jilocasin0> k11_: I'll try some other mirrors then.
[18:56] <jilocasin0> k11_: Thanks or the help.
[19:03] <SkepticalParrot> SUCCESS!!! I have all my files. Thanks guz! :D
[19:06] <Saxophone> Question...
[19:06] <Saxophone> Option one: Tor on Debian stable, Debian sid, or Debian testing
[19:06] <Saxophone> If you're using Debian, just run
[19:06] <Saxophone>   apt-get install tor
[19:06] <Saxophone> as root.
[19:06] <Saxophone> Note that this might not always give you the latest stable Tor version, but you will receive important security fixes. To make sure that you're running the latest stable version of Tor, see option two below.
[19:07] <Saxophone> Thanks.
[19:07] <Saxophone> Stupid copy paste...wtf
[19:07] <Saxophone> Ok, so...
[19:07] <Saxophone> You need to add the following entry in /etc/apt/sources.list or a new file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/:
[19:07] <Saxophone> How do I find out the "etc" part? Lol.
[19:10] <k1l_> Saxophone: /etc is a folder on the system. its not just a placeholder
[19:11] <k1l_> Saxophone: and dont use the debian option if you run ubuntu. or use #debian if you use debian
[19:12] <TheSilentLink> dpkg: error processing package vlc-data (--configure):package is in a very bad inconsistent state;anyone know how to fix?
[19:13] <Seveas> TheSilentLink: pastebin the command you ran and its full output
[19:14] <TheSilentLink> Seveas, I installed it using the Lubuntu Software Centre but it obviously hasn't worked
[19:14] <Seveas> TheSilentLink: obviously :) try this command and pastebin its output: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[19:15] <TheSilentLink> Seveas, did it no output appeared
[19:15] <drale2k> i typed just "crontab" instead of "crontab -e" and now my crontab file is emtpy
[19:16] <drale2k> any way to get to the old crontab file ?
[19:16] <ericthe3rd> hi guys whats the point from encrypting irc connection if it can't hide your ip?
[19:16] <drale2k> ericthe3rd: to encrypt the messages
[19:17] <ericthe3rd> only the message? thats big fail
[19:18] <ericthe3rd> your ip can be used to track you down
[19:18] <Seveas> TheSilentLink: then I think the error is bogus. dpkg -l | grep '^.\?[A-Z]'
[19:18] <daftykins> ericthe3rd: that's not on topic here, please join #freenode
[19:18] <Seveas> (and pastebin the output)
[19:18] <nicomachus> ericthe3rd: that's a question for the #freenode folks. They can also give you a cloak to hide your IP.
[19:18] <nicomachus> or you can use proxies, bouncers, whatever.
[19:19] <ericthe3rd> you will be blocked out
[19:19] <ericthe3rd> ok thanks you
[19:19] <TheSilentLink> Seveas, is that command meant to take a long time?
[19:20] <Seveas> TheSilentLink: no, it's pretty much instant. If it takes a long time, you copied it wrong :)
[19:20] <TheSilentLink> Seveas, o do you need the ' at the end?
[19:21] <Seveas> yes :) from th d in dpkg to the last ', you need the whole thing.
[19:22] <TheSilentLink> Seveas, ok I got this http://pastebin.com/bYfdaHa0
[19:22] <slipfish> I'm going to preface this question with, "I'm dumb, I did a dumb thing.".. I was running an apt-get upgrade over ssh (not using screen), and managed to somehow close terminal.. I assume the upgrade is still happening as top has apt-get pegged, but is there any way to recover that session?
[19:23] <mljmac> instead of use software center, use: sudo apt-get install program-name
[19:23] <Seveas> TheSilentLink: ok, that does indeed look slightly wrong. Does this work: sudo apt-get install --reinstall vlc-data
[19:25] <TheSilentLink> Seveas, I think it worked! http://pastebin.com/QbJXXc6A
[19:25] <ericthe3rd> can i make wine detect usb ports? os -> ubuntu
[19:25] <mljmac> example : sudo apt-get install xchat
[19:25] <TheSilentLink> Seveas, though the program isn't in the 'start' menu
[19:26] <Seveas> TheSilentLink: you may need to install vlc itself again. sudo apt-get install vlc
[19:27] <TheSilentLink> Seveas, it works thanks a lot, I am new to linux!
[19:27] <mljmac> for use of dpkg, I use it for install files at the harddrive: sudo dpkg -i *.deb
[19:28] <daftykins> ericthe3rd: what are you trying to do? wine is a mistake 99% of the time
[19:29] <Seveas> TheSilentLink: welcome :)
[19:29] <Seveas> daftykins: true. single malt scotch is much better (:
[19:29] <daftykins> oof that was bad
[19:30] <Seveas> sorry
[19:30] <keithel> I feel like I've found a bug in the generated package-config file for libffi (libffi.pc), present in the distribution I'm working with (Trusty armhf), but poking around in Launchpad, it seems it's around in the current Wily amd64 package as well.  I came to determine if it's really a bug (that perhaps only rears it's head in cross-compile situations)
[19:30] <daftykins> keithel: #ubuntu-arm
[19:30] <daftykins> oh amd64 too huh
[19:30] <keithel> The issue is that most .pc files seem to have a Libs entry like so:
[19:30] <TheSilentLink> Seveas, just a question for you or anyone here but do you know how to install steam? On all my attempts it installed but nothing is show when I open the program even though the process is running
[19:31] <keithel> Libs: -L${libdir} -ldrm
[19:31] <keithel> and Cflags like so:
[19:31] <keithel> Cflags: -I${includedir} -I${includedir}/libdrm
[19:31] <keithel> but the libffi.pc file just has a libs line that indicates -lffi, no -L path...:
[19:31] <Seveas> !steam
[19:32] <Seveas> TheSilentLink: I don't use steam myself, but that link above may help
[19:32] <keithel> Libs: -lffi
[19:32] <keithel> Cflags:
[19:32] <daftykins> keithel: given as you've already spammed the channel a fair bit, perhaps consolidating your point into a forum post, askubuntu question - or pastebin, might be helpful
[19:32] <keithel> So - in cross-compile situation, the compiler can't find the include files, nor the path to libffi.a/so.
[19:33] <keithel> daftykins, apologies.
[19:33] <TheSilentLink> Seveas, thanks
[19:42] <gso> I am trying to use gnome's disk utility to format a encrypted USB drive.. but, when trying to format - it fails with "Error opening LUKS device: Command-line `cryptsetup luksOpen ""/dev/sdb"" luks-a4d5c9dd-fb9b-4f2b-b5cb-6f2dcd96b8fb' exited with non-zero exit status 2: No key available with this passphrase."  What is wrong here ?
[19:43] <ouroumov> gso, you tried gparted yet?
[19:43] <gso> ouroumov, No - just the builtin "disks" utility
[19:44] <zykotick9> gso: sounds like wrong password to me...
[19:44] <gso> g
[19:44] <gso> ok...
[19:44] <gso> But, this is during the format - where I enter the password twice
[19:45] <gso> zykotick9, If the password is not correct - the format button is greyed out
[19:47] <zykotick9> gso: i'm ONLY basing this on "No key available with this passphrase."
[19:48] <zykotick9> gso: the ""/dev/sdb"" double quotes also seem strange...
[19:50] <Quintasan> I'm trying to install Ubuntu on Samsung RC530 laptop. The weird part is that the device refuses to boot from USB drive with UEFI Boot Support DISABLED in the BIOS but boots fine with the option enabled but the installer complains that other OS (Windows in this case) was installed in Legacy mode.
[19:51] <EriC^^> Quintasan: is fastboot disabled?
[19:51] <Quintasan> EriC^^: No such option in BIOS
[19:52] <EriC^^> Quintasan: is the usb first in the boot order?
[19:52] <Quintasan> Yes.
[19:52] <EriC^^> Quintasan: it just skips it when you try to boot it?
[19:52] <Quintasan> It's like there is no boot sector on the usb drive and it goes straight to GRUB.
[19:52] <Quintasan> but it works in UEFI mode
[19:53] <EriC^^> Quintasan: it goes straight to grub? you mean you get a grub> prompt?
[19:53] <Quintasan> Nope. I get OS selection
[19:53] <Quintasan> EriC^^: There's Ubuntu 11.04 installed on the device and upgrading that sounds like a bad idea.
[19:54] <EriC^^> Quintasan: oh ok
[19:54] <k-cho> helo
[19:54] <EriC^^> Quintasan: how did you make the usb?
[19:54] <Quintasan> EriC^^: dd if=<iso> of=<usb device> bs=8M
[19:55] <EriC^^> Quintasan: did you checksum the iso?
[19:55] <Quintasan> EriC^^: I torrented it.
[19:55] <EriC^^> Quintasan: which ubuntu version is it?
[19:55] <Quintasan> 15.10?
[19:56] <Quintasan> yeah
[19:56] <Quintasan> 15.10
[19:56] <EriC^^> Quintasan: ok, you can boot the iso from grub if you want
[19:57] <Quintasan> EriC^^: that should work
[19:58] <EriC^^> Quintasan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot#Menuentry_Example
[19:59] <pedahzur> Does anybody make a version of Ubuntu that includes a kernel that doesn't use cmov?  Even "old machine" distros like http://www.bodhilinux.com/ which have a non-PAE version still require cmov. Any suggestions?
[19:59] <jjjasper> Compile a kernel yourself?
[20:00] <nacc> pedahzur: you could probably just add to CFLAGS -mno-cmov
[20:00] <Jordan_U> Quintasan: EriC^^: I prefer http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg#How_do_you_use_a_loopback.cfg_to_boot_an_iso.3F for loop booting Ubuntu isos with grub. It gets you a full menu of options and doesn't require modification for newer releases or other futzing.
[20:01] <Linka> Hey. I pretty new to Ubuntu, and Linux. But can someone pls tell me how to intall dc++ and get ssl-certs? When I trying to join, I get disconnected from the hubs coz I have a bad SSL-cert.
[20:02] <Jordan_U> pedahzur: What hardware are you trying to use that doesn't have cmov?
[20:02] <pedahzur> nacc: Yeah, I could recompile my own kernel. But I would assume if the kernel requires it, other software for that distro will require it too...which means any binaries installed after the fact will fail in strange ways.
[20:02] <pedahzur> Jordan_U: AMD Geode...from quite a while ago. :)
[20:03] <Seveas> pedahzur: time to throw that in the trash then :)
[20:03] <nacc> pedahzur: yeah, you're not in a great place :/
[20:03] <jjjasper> Wuh, old
[20:03] <jjjasper> Good as low end router maybe but that's it
[20:04] <SillyArcher> hi all! how to use "mv source destination", but replace *only equal* files? (i have two folder with 99% same content, wanna merge it into one, but not lost 1 %: they have same name, date of creation, but different size)
[20:05] <pedahzur> jjjasper: Yeah, it is really old. And yup, it's been used as a border router its whole life.  Was just trying to extend its life a little more. :)
[20:06] <jeffreylevesque> can i install systemd to ubuntu 14.04?
[20:06] <SillyArcher> in another words, how to tell mv *not to replace* files if they have different size?
[20:06] <jjjasper> Pedahzur: pfsense runs great on them up to 80mbit ish
[20:07] <jjjasper> Had one running like that for several years
[20:07] <pedahzur> jjjasper: Might do that. Thanks!
[20:07] <jjjasper> Openvpn up to 15mbit ish
[20:07] <jjjasper> For geode 500
[20:08] <jjjasper> Pfsense is the best life you can give it I think :)
[20:10] <Seveas> jeffreylevesque: no.
[20:11] <jjjasper> Also, why?
[20:11] <svm_invictvs> Seems like a silly question, but is there a way to tell if a particular device creates a /dev node?
[20:11] <Seveas> jjjasper: dangerous question. There may be madness hiding there :)
[20:11] <Seveas> svm_invictvs: that is a silly question :)
[20:11] <svm_invictvs> heh
[20:12] <jjjasper> Seveas: I am aware :D
[20:12] <svm_invictvs> I have an unknown device plugged into USB and I want to try to talk to it...hm
[20:12] <svm_invictvs> shows up in dmesg
[20:12] <Seveas> does it show up lsusb?
[20:12] <svm_invictvs> Yeah
[20:12] <jjjasper> As?
[20:12] <svm_invictvs> But not with any info
[20:12] <Seveas> then you'll have a corresponding device in /dev/bus/usb/
[20:13] <svm_invictvs> Basically it says "Bus 0004 Device 0002"
[20:13] <Seveas> /dev/bus/usb/004/002 it is
[20:13] <svm_invictvs> Ah
[20:13] <svm_invictvs> That makes sense
[20:14] <Jordan_U> pedahzur: Ubuntu is clearly not the distro for such hardware, try asking foe help finding an appropriate distro in ##linux.
[20:15] <ioria> Lucid should work.... then he can fake-flag and upgrade ...
[20:16] <pedahzur> Jordan_U: Yeah, just nice to have everything running the same software. :)  I may go with pfSense or some such.
[20:17] <UBUNTUARG> hello, i need help on installing ubuntu on a hybrid hdd
[20:18] <UBUNTUARG> is there any documentation?
[20:19] <jjjasper> Just install it?
[20:19] <jjjasper> Not much to document on
[20:20] <SkepticalParrot> I just reinstalled ubuntu on my laptop... but still can't boot into it. Did using Kali Linux to test my network security destroy my laptop in some way?
[20:20] <jjjasper> No
[20:20] <jjjasper> Define can't boot?
[20:20] <SkepticalParrot> Same issues as earlier.
I used a Kali Linux live USB to test the security of my network... and then afterwards, attempting to boot into my ubuntu OS... I could not boot. And my laptops software that scans for issues came back with corrupted OS. Is there anything I can do at this point?
[20:21] <SkepticalParrot> Same error msg... that reads...
[20:21] <jjjasper> "my laptops software that scans for issues'
[20:21] <jjjasper> What is that?
[20:22] <SkepticalParrot> "SupportAssist" which comes with Dell Inspiron 5558
[20:23] <jjjasper> Right
[20:23] <jjjasper> Likely something that only cares for windows
[20:23] <SkepticalParrot> Now it says "No bootable deivces found."
[20:24] <jjjasper> Manually select boot device?
[20:25] <Seveas> that probably broke more than it fixes. Crap like that has a tendency to "fix" things by overwriting the MBR or EFI boot partition
[20:25] <SkepticalParrot> Selected boot device failed. Press any key to reboot system.
[20:25] <jjjasper> Seveas: indeed
[20:25] <jjjasper> Never use those tools
[20:26] <jjjasper> Try and boot an Ubuntu stick and fix the boot record?
[20:26] <jjjasper> Or might be possible to install over it and keep documents (but lose installed applications)
[20:34] <Mia> I like to install a dropdown terminal for ubuntu
[20:34] <Mia> what do you recommend
[20:35] <al2o3-cr> Mia: guake
[20:36] <al2o3-cr> Mia: although, not really a on-topic question
[20:37] <Mia> al2o3-cr, why not
[20:42] <jayjo> I'm trying to create a bootable drive from this guide: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx and have this error on step 8: dd: /dev/rdiskN: Operation not supported
[20:44] <jjjasper> jayjo: priveleged to write to the drive?
[20:45] <jjjasper> also, I assume you changed N into the disk number
[20:45] <jayjo> jjjasper: ... I did not
[20:45] <jjjasper> as stated
[20:45] <jayjo> that fixed it
[20:45] <jayjo> it doesn't say that in step 8! and this is rdiskN.
[20:45] <jayjo> But yea that fixed it
[20:45] <jjjasper> (replace N with the disk number from the last command; in the previous example, N would be 2).
[20:46] <jjjasper> it's mentioned before
[20:46] <jayjo> yea that's step 7
[20:46] <jjjasper> so consistent across the guide
[20:47] <jayjo> I agree it's a dumb mistake, but I didn't want to sudo something when it was ambiguous to me
[20:48] <goddard> im trying to install tmux plugins but it fails after installing the first plugim which is tpm
[20:48] <goddard> im just trying to install tmux-ressurect and continum and sensible
[20:49] <jushur> goddard: and this is part of ubuntu default repos?
[20:51] <goddard> jushur: no
[20:51] <goddard> jushur: it is about configuration of tmux
[20:55] <jushur> goddard: look for typos, as you do them here id expect them in the config to.
[20:56] <goddard> jushur: You need to capitalize the first letter of your sentence.
[20:57] <jushur> goddard: maybe so, or maybe i dont care. my point is still valid right? also cant realy help without proper info. stating you have aproblem is not realy possible to solve the issue with.
[20:58] <goddard> jushur: you familar with tmux?
[20:59] <gilje> Why are some of my mp3s a light green, and others darker, bluish green?
[20:59] <jushur> goddard: i use it all the time, but not realy in an adnvanced way.
[20:59] <jushur> gilje: permission differences?

[21:11] <ZoderUgg2> Hey, is there a lowcost ubuntu 14.04 server where i can experiment with  nginx and apache ?
[21:11] <ZoderUgg2> where i have root permissions?
[21:12] <lyze> Use a vm?
[21:12] <elky> ZoderUgg2: if you have decent ram try a local vm
[21:13] <jushur> ZoderUgg2: or buy a rpi3 and install to it. have your own pocket edition of a server.
[21:13] <ZoderUgg2> aha, virtualbox stuff
[21:13] <ZoderUgg2> aha rasberry pi, 3 even, i did hear the sd card reader is not good?
[21:13] <ZoderUgg2> jushur, actually i need it in the cloud :)
[21:13] <ZoderUgg2> it is a cloud app i want to test
[21:14] <k1l_> ZoderUgg2: "cloud" is just another word for computer in the internet. you can setup your own cloud in vms. maybe your "cloud" even offers a development kit/tool
[21:14] <ZoderUgg2> Digital Ocean does not provide a fully root enabled Ubuntu ?
[21:15] <gr33nbits> heias, anyone knows when Firefox is going to be updated by apt-get update?
[21:15] <k1l_> gr33nbits: what ubuntu version do you use exactly?
[21:15] <reisio> when it is
[21:15] <ZoderUgg2> k11, yes i understand the possibilities, i should run my local ubuntu on my adsl ip adres
[21:15] <gr33nbits> 14.04
[21:15] <gr33nbits> LTS
[21:15] <k1l_> !info firefox trusty
[21:16] <k1l_> well it says 45 is in security repo already.
[21:16] <ZoderUgg2> uh what?
[21:16] <weirddude> Hello, I am having trouble installing Ubuntu as my laptop reboots midway through the Ubuntu loading screen. I have an HP Envy m4 1015-dx and I tried turning off fast-boot, going in to bios and turning on Legacy Mode and turning off Secure Boot, I tried booting from the EFI file... I have Windows 10 installed and I am trying to get rid of Windows an
[21:16] <weirddude> d replace it with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
[21:16] <k1l_> so maybe the bot got an old database.
[21:16] <ZoderUgg2> ubuntu does provide a server?\
[21:17] <gr33nbits> k1l_,  so no idea when it's going to be available
[21:17] <k1l_> ZoderUgg2: yes. ubuntu got server isos. that is basically the same as a desktop version, just without a desktop and some more server related packages
[21:17] <k1l_> gr33nbits: "sudo apt update && apt-cache policy firefox" in a pastebin please
[21:17] <ZoderUgg2> k1l, uh yes, but i mean provided in the cloud?
[21:17] <ZoderUgg2> not the iso or vm or virtualbox of course
[21:18] <ZoderUgg2> ready to use in the cloud?
[21:18] <gr33nbits> k1l_, thank you very much
[21:18] <ZoderUgg2> like ubuiqityhosting
[21:18] <weirddude> and also, http://xahlee.info/comp/i/theres_no_cloud_just_someone_elses_computer.jpg
[21:18] <k1l_> ZoderUgg2: no. ubuntu doesnt offer free hostings
[21:18] <ZoderUgg2> k1l_ ok , not free, i am willing to pay of corse 0 - 10 dollar a month
[21:19] <k1l_> ZoderUgg2: see if your "cloud" offers a development kit or ask in other channels for a server sponsor. this is not the right place for it
[21:19] <ZoderUgg2> i dont want ubuigityhost, i want to try this time another.
[21:19] <squinty> gr33nbits,  already using 45 here
[21:19] <gr33nbits> squinty, did you download it or via apt-get?
[21:19] <jushur> weirddude: id advice to test the daily beta of 16.04. most likely you need a new kernel to boot it.
[21:19] <squinty> gr33nbits,  yep
[21:20] <gr33nbits> apt get?
[21:20] <squinty> gr33nbits,  apt   yes
[21:20] <weirddude> jushur alright.
[21:20] <k1l_> gr33nbits: did you run my commands?
[21:20] <ZoderUgg2> why not use rpm -f ?
[21:20] <gr33nbits> oh then i don't know why
[21:20] <ZoderUgg2> or yum ?
[21:20] <gr33nbits> k1l_,  i did, now i did apt-get update
[21:20] <k1l_> gr33nbits: if so please put the output into paste.ubuntu.com and show the output url here
[21:21] <k1l_> ZoderUgg2: dont troll in here. ubuntu doesnt use rpm or yum
[21:21] <jushur> weirddude: did you try with disabling acpi and so in the grub?
[21:21] <weirddude> jushur no I didn't.
[21:21] <gr33nbits> 1s
[21:22] <gr33nbits> http://paste.ubuntu.com/15337406/
[21:22] <Eliter> What's an easy FTP server (with security) that I can install?
[21:23] <weirddude> jushur, if I disable acpi, and install Ubuntu, can I turn Legacy boot off, and secure boot back on?
[21:23] <weirddude> after I install of course
[21:23] <k1l_> gr33nbits: so now you got the latest state of the package list from the servers. just run "sudo apt full-upgrade" now
[21:23] <gr33nbits> k1l_,  now i have it to update after the code
[21:23] <gr33nbits> k1l_,  yes i did, thank you a bunch
[21:24] <k1l_> gr33nbits: keep in mind that you need to get the latest server list with "sudo apt update" first to find new updates.
[21:24] <gr33nbits> yes i did, been trying for a couple days, since 45 came out
[21:27] <gr33nbits> k1l_, bind9 came on that update too, not sure why
[21:31] <Canada89> hi
[21:32] <Canada89> how can i report user on irc when he osen't respect code of conduct?
[21:32] <Canada89> hello?
[21:33] <gr33nbits> reboot brb, thanks again k1l_
[21:33] <k1l_> Canada89: in #ubuntu? then come to #ubuntu-ops
[21:34] <k1l_> Canada89: if in another channel talk to their ops. if its serverwide then in #freenode
[21:34] <Canada89> in italian ubuntu offtopic channel k1
[21:34] <k1l_> Canada89: i dont know if they have a own ops channel. but you can start in #ubuntu-irc
[21:35] <Canada89> ok
[21:37] <claudiop> Hi. So it happens that I was bored with arch making a (recent) optimus combo one of the most painful things I ever saw on GNU/Linux, so decided to try something more stable, like a Ubuntu beta for 16.04 and leave Arch for dev stuff. So far the problem is that simply installing the Nvidia driver renders ubuntu unable to boot
[21:37] <claudiop> I think it boots until loading gdm, not 100% sure
[21:38] <claudiop> Note that I have no bumblebee nor anything like that, just vanilla system, and nvidia driver
[21:38] <claudiop> Where should I look at?
[21:38] <daftykins> you can't do that with optimus, also this is not the channel for 16.04
[21:39] <jim> claudiop, well as you may know, gdm tries to start an x server, so the trouble may be there?
[21:39] <daftykins> nvidia drivers also refer to depending on lightdm i thought
[21:39] <kanzie> anyone know how I can mount my external hdd with linux lvm fs on it
[21:39] <daftykins> LVM isn't a file system
[21:40] <claudiop> daftykins, this is the channel for Ubuntu, and If I was using 15.10 I would have the same problems + trouble with skylake
[21:40] <daftykins> claudiop: irrelevant, #ubuntu+1 for unreleased versions
[21:40] <jim> kanzie, you would need lvm and device mapper support in order to see stuff on the lvm portions of that drive
[21:41] <kanzie> jim: yeah, Im trying to get lvm installed
[21:41] <claudiop> Ok, I'll make it ubuntu (=<15.10) specific.How can I blacklist a module such as the nvidia one? modprobe.blacklist=nvidia does not work
[21:41] <Canada89> i found k1
[21:41] <Canada89> thanks
[21:41] <kanzie> jim: just dont know where to bein
[21:41] <kanzie> begin
[21:42] <daftykins> claudiop: you don't, you purge the packages - unless you're talking nouveau, then that won't help much
[21:42] <klas_> hostname
[21:42] <daftykins> claudiop: misleading us as to the release you are on to solve problems will make things HARDER because advice will not apply to the kernel and versions of packages you have on
[21:42] <daftykins> so i for one am ignoring you
[21:42] <jim> kanzie, should be easy, it's a package with the lvm executables in it... then, you wouild need to modprobe some stuff, and then you should be ready to go... you can then do pvscan, vgscan, lvscan to see what's there
[21:43] <daftykins> kanzie: try running "sudo lsblk" and see what devices are returned, put it in a http://paste.ubuntu.com if you're not sure
[21:44] <claudiop> daftykins, Why the aggressiveness? As I said 15.10 has the same problems and some more, to know that just maybe I tried, and as such have the live here to try. What I asked doesn't really need a version, it should be agnostic unless major changes happen which was not the case for 16.04 afaik.
[21:45] <claudiop> Again, for 15.10. How can I purge something if the something is blocking a boot?
[21:46] <jim> claudiop, probably you'd get better support?
[21:46] <kanzie> daftykins: sda                 8:0    0  3.7T  0 disk
[21:46] <kanzie> └─sda1              8:1    0  3.7T  0 part
[21:46] <kanzie>   └─bubba-storage 254:0    0  3.7T  0 lvm
[21:46] <jim> kanzie, try installing the package lvm2
[21:46] <daftykins> i linked to the paste site for a reason, kanzie
[21:46] <kanzie> jim: yeah, already did that
[21:47] <kanzie> daftykins: Im not pastebin:ing two lines of text
[21:47] <claudiop> jim, I don't mind to work with 15.10, I also have it here, and its the currently supported. It just happens that 16.04 has better drivers, but fine, I'll try my luck at the other channel :/
[21:47] <jim> ok, can you do pvscan?
[21:47] <daftykins> that was 3
[21:47] <daftykins> and you damn well should in future
[21:48] <kanzie> jim, yeah it shows the /dev/sda1 with a VG named “foo”.
[21:48] <daftykins> volume group yep
[21:48] <daftykins> !lvm
[21:48] <bprompt> claudiop:     remove like you would anything else, now, if it's not removing in the booted session due to locked files, then reboot, press Shift while booting to get the Grub menu, choose Recovery  from it, go to Root Console, remount the current system as "rw"  -> sudo mount -o remount,rw / <- and do the removal from there
[21:48] <kanzie> ok, you proved your point. You cound better than I do… stand corrected.
[21:49] <lordbaron99> sup
[21:49] <jim> kanzie, ok great... you should now be able to do vgscan and lvscan
[21:49] <jim> if you only have the one vg, good enough... do you have lvs?
[21:50] <kanzie> jim: yeah I tracked down the name of the partition, just dont know how to mount it
[21:50] <claudiop> bprompt, Thanks :)
[21:50] <bprompt> np
[21:50] <kanzie> the VG is named bubba and it is of lvm2 type
[21:50] <kanzie> jim: ^^
[21:51] <jim> kanzie, the thing is a logical volume is not a partition... it does (of course live on the pv partition)...
[21:51] <jim> good... and lvscan?
[21:52] <kanzie> jim: I lost the content of this drive once before. Then when I had to set it up again I was recommended to use lvm to avoid any future problems… the irony of that eh, here I am…lost again! :-)
[21:52] <jim> (you don't have to do these scans at all,,, they're just fyi)
[21:52] <kanzie> jim: lvscan shows it as active
[21:52] <kanzie> so I dont need to do vgchange -ay
[21:53] <jim> ok, what's your vg called?
[21:53] <kanzie> jim: aaaah, I dont mount the device, I moung the vg
[21:53] <kanzie> according to lvscan its called /dev/bubba/storage
[21:54] <kanzie> jim: yeah that did the trick
[21:54] <kanzie> so how do I best add this to fstab
[21:54] <jim> ok. so that means: since you activated the vg bubba, it created a dir /dev/bubba, and your lv(s) are in there... so just one lv, called storage?
[21:55] <jim> you can mount THAT
[21:55] <kanzie> jim: yeah done and done, thanks
[21:55] <kanzie> now I just need to add this to fstab
[21:56] <jim> well if the drive is "detachable", you'll probably not want it automatically mounted on boot
[21:56] <jim> that part is up to you though
[21:56] <kanzie> jim: well it is detachable technically… but nothing I ever do. Its the HDD for my Rpi
[21:57] <bunjee> anyone know anything about Gramps?
[21:59] <jim> ok... so, summarizing... you would: attach the drive, then you can vgchange -ay, at that point the vg is active and a dir named for it appears in /dev... in that dir will be the nodes for your vgs, which you can mount
[22:01] <jim> going the other way, given it's mounted, to unmount, you first need to make it un-busy, which means making sure no process is cd-ed in there, and files in there are closed... then you can unmount it, vgchange -an, and detach the drive (if you ever want to that is)

[22:01] <new0> why it's not let me /join?
[22:02] <k1l_> new0: dont use a leading space
[22:02] <new0> i just changed the Insert unicode control character
[22:02] <new0> kill_ im not
[22:03] <new0> k1l_, it's input error. something to do with input method
[22:03] <k1l_> what client do you use? and what did you change there?
[22:03] <new0> LRM, LRE, etc.. what should i use?
[22:04] <new0> k1l_, because it was start to type from right to left. and it's XChat
[22:04] <k1l_> so its xchat as client
[22:04] <new0> yes
[22:04] <k1l_> /join #channel
[22:05] <k1l_> look at the server window if there is an error like you are banned or such
[22:05] <new0> k1l_, i did right Click on this input control and changed the Input Unicode Control Character to LEM, LRE
[22:06] <new0> k1l_, right. the the server channel it's working
[22:06] <new0> perhaps i did change the input in this channel on xchat
[22:07] <new0> k1l_, mmm, not sure why. but it's been fixed. how is that?
[22:07] <k1l_> i dont know what you did there.
[22:07] <new0> k1l_, not sure :) but the problem gone
[22:08] <new0> k1l_, tnx for trying. or perhaps it's worked because i moved to different channel and this input been reset.
[22:16] <weirddude> When I try to boot Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on my HP Envy m4 1015-dx I can't install because my computer restarts randomly when I try to load it. I've tried Ubuntu 14.04 LTS AND Ubuntu-GNOME 16.04 BETA and turning off secure boot, fast-boot (I'm on windows 10), and using EFI to no avail. I've also tried disabling acpi and that didn't work either. I also tr
[22:16] <weirddude> ied nomodeset which againbrought me to no avail.
[22:17] <weirddude> 1-2 years ago I successfully installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on the same computer, I have since then reinstalled Windows. The computer has windows 8 preinstalled.
[22:18] <weirddude> jushur I tried the 16.04 GNOME beta and it didn't work any other suggestions?
[22:18] <weirddude> + disabled acpi
[22:19] <daftykins> 16.04 is not on topic here, #ububtu+1
[22:20] <EriC^^> weirddude: try booting with quiet splash and see what it says
[22:21] <EriC^^> *without
[22:21] <weirddude> EriC^^ should I turn off acpi off as well?
[22:22] <EriC^^> try one with just removing quiet splash
[22:22] <weirddude> alright
[22:22] <weirddude> ill be back then
[22:29] <EriC^^> weirddude: any luck?
[22:29] <weirddude> Nothing out of the ordinary, it seemed to be going fine then it just rebooted
[22:29] <EriC^^> weirddude: sounds like a temperature issue
[22:30] <weirddude> Overheating?
[22:30] <EriC^^> yeah
[22:30] <weirddude> Well how can I fix that?
[22:30] <EriC^^> is there another os on the pc?
[22:30] <weirddude> Ye
[22:30] <weirddude> s
[22:30] <weirddude> Windows 10
[22:31] <EriC^^> ok, not a temperature issue then
[22:32] <weirddude> If it matters, when I tried it with no quiet splash, I booted the DVD in UEFI mode without CSM (because I had legacy mode)
[22:32] <EriC^^> it booted fine?
[22:32] <EriC^^> oh
[22:33] <EriC^^> what pc model is it?
[22:33] <weirddude> EriC^^ Should I try 12.04 LTS?
[22:34] <EriC^^> nah
[22:34] <weirddude> and its an HP Envy M4 1015-dx with Windows 8 preinstalled
[22:34] <weirddude> I tried to solve this issue some time ago and no one could figure it out. So im trying to explain indef on what exactly im trying
[22:35] <user1_> Is the key.pem given by amazon ec2 (for us to log in to it) is the private key or public key?
[22:35] <user1_> in github, we add ssh keys to github account. Are those our public key or private key?
[22:35] <EriC^^> weirddude: does it have a amd cpu?
[22:35] <weirddude> Nope
[22:36] <weirddude> intel i7
[22:36] <weirddude> Ive been trying to use the amd64 iso
[22:36] <weirddude> could that be the cause?
[22:36] <EriC^^> no, that's right
[22:37] <weirddude> Ok good thats what i though
[22:37] <weirddude> *thought
[22:37] <EriC^^> you tried acpi=off right?
[22:37] <weirddude> yes
[22:37] <EriC^^> try radeon.dpm=0
[22:37] <Abe_> ls
[22:38] <weirddude> alright
[22:40] <weirddude> fingers crossed
[22:40] <weirddude> nope
[22:41] <weirddude> it rebooted
[22:42] <weirddude> Eric^^ should i retry and boot with EFI?
[22:43] <EriC^^> no, i dont think it would help
[22:44] <EriC^^> weirddude: where exactly does it reboot?
[22:44] <EriC^^> if you start it in legacy do you get the try / install ubuntu screen?
[22:44] <weirddude> eric^^ yes
[22:45] <EriC^^> it reboots after you press install ubuntu?
[22:45] <weirddude> it reboots midway on the loading screen
[22:45] <jwynn6> any recommendations on ways to update /upgrade a server that i can only get to via ssh and does not have internet access?
[22:45] <EriC^^> ok, some people online are saying when they keep the mouse moving it doesn't reboot
[22:46] <weirddude> lol
[22:46] <weirddude> ill try anything now
[22:46] <EriC^^> it's a little difficult to keep it moving throughout the install but there seems a fix after it's installed
[22:46] <EriC^^> give it a shot, for kicks if anything
[22:46] <EriC^^> i'm a little curious
[22:46] <weirddude> same
[22:46] <Jordan_U> jwynn6: How are you getting to it via ssh without an internet connection?
[22:47] <weirddude> do i have to keep it moving through grub too?
[22:47] <EriC^^> no i think just after you press the continue button on the installer
[22:47] <jwynn6> Jordan_U: Its on the LAN but firewalled from getting out.
[22:47] <weirddude> ok
[22:48] <Jordan_U> jwynn6: You can make an apt proxy server on another machine then.
[22:48] <weirddude> eric^^ didnt workcjk
[22:48] <weirddude> *work
[22:48] <jwynn6> Jordan_U: like a socks or an http proxy?
[22:51] <EriC^^> weirddude: damn
[22:52] <drkjstr> jwynn6, you would could try an apt-mirror server on a different box: http://www.unixmen.com/setup-local-repository-in-ubuntu-15-04/
[22:53] <snowgoggles> weirddude:  is it possible you have full drive encryption turned on from a windows installation?
[22:53] <weirddude> snowgoggles is there anyway i could check this?
[22:54] <EriC^^> weirddude: did you try from a cold boot?
[22:54] <skitoxe1> .
[22:54] <snowgoggles> weirddude:  bitlocker settings in windows
[22:54] <weirddude> eric^^ yes every time
[22:55] <daftykins> theres an icon on the drive in explorer, in Windows too
[22:58] <aarrgg> Is there a way to setup my system so that when I sign into bash... tmux runs automatically?
[22:59] <daftykins> i think it'd be wise to deal with the hardship of those 4 extra characters
[22:59] <weirddude> ok i found it
[23:00] <weirddude> It isnt running
[23:00] <weirddude> But it has a "manual (triggered)" startup type
[23:01] <weirddude> should i disable it all together?
[23:02] <weirddude> snowgoggles
[23:02] <snowgoggles> weirddude: go into your bios and turn off the tpm module
[23:10] <skitoxe1> .
[23:11] <Thorax2015> Hi all. Software Updater is saying that it "Requires installation of untrusted packages". Surely I dont wanna install those?
[23:12] <Thorax2015> Are they the Unsupported updates (wily-backports?)
[23:13] <daftykins> best bet is you've added PPAs
[23:13] <daftykins> some command line output pastebin'd would be the nicest
[23:14] <Thorax2015> daftykins: Ive not added any software at all yet.
[23:16] <weirddude> ok just turned off bitlocker
[23:16] <weirddude> couldnt find tpm in bios
[23:16] <skitoxe> Allright, im off to bed
[23:17] <skitoxe> take care peeps
[23:17] <eatingthenight> Where can i read all out the tty and pty. I tried the man pages but they contain next to no info.
[23:17] <Malgorath> Is there a way to revert a ubuntu install to back to its 'just' installed status? like how windows 8 and 10 can?
[23:17] <eatingthenight> *out = about
[23:18] <skitoxe> Malgorath: re-install it?
[23:18] <Malgorath> skitoxe, I'm not wanting to format my SSD drive again
[23:19] <eatingthenight> Malgorath: no since it's impossible to know what you all installed
[23:19] <weirddude> snowgoggles No avail
[23:19] <eatingthenight> Linux gives you 100% control to shoot your leg off
[23:20] <Thorax2015> Is it safe to tick or untick backports in the software & updates page?
[23:21] <daftykins> Malgorath: no
[23:21] <k1l_> Thorax2015: its safe. since it wont install backports packages automatically
[23:21] <k1l_> !backports | Thorax2015
[23:21] <weirddude> snowgoggles would it be possible that windowss isnt letting unbuntu install itself?
[23:22] <abhishek> when i entering this command in terminal:file /sbin/init
[23:22] <Thorax2015> Awesome, thanks k1l_
[23:23] <abhishek> it is gaving output like this:/sbin/init: symbolic link to /lib/systemd/systemd
[23:23] <daftykins> abhishek: yes, because it's a symlink to another file
[23:23] <daftykins> keep chasing the breadcrumbs and you'll eventually find the binary.
[23:24] <abhishek> so how it will fix....what can i do for that
[23:24] <daftykins> abhishek: you didn't ask a support question, you just made a statement of fact... so perhaps if you phrase a question...
[23:24] <snowgoggles> weirddude: what's the machine model?
[23:24] <daftykins> or as i say follow the trail and "file /lib/systemd/systemd"
[23:24] <weirddude> hp envy m4 1015 -dx
[23:27] <abhishek> ohh...sorry..my question is wrong to you....by the way thanxx daftykins
[23:34] <bodom> Hi there! I can't start tor "Job for tor.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status tor.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details." http://pastebin.com/bSECnki5 any ideas?
[23:34] <mekhami> hi all, i'm trying to understand why some of my fontawesome icons are not working. I know at least one of the icons is working, the chrome icon, but three other icons don't seem to be working.
[23:34] <mekhami> i put the ttf file in ~/.fonts and ran sudo fc-cache -f -v
[23:35] <mekhami> but the other three icons i'm trying to use are just the weird symbols that get paste dinto the editor
[23:36] <weirddude> snowgoggles any luck?
[23:36] <mekhami> 3
[23:36] <mekhami> sorry about that. if someone answered, i missed it.
[23:37] <snowgoggles> weirddude: what bios version are you on?  I'm seeing something possibly related with it's secure boot issues
[23:38] <weirddude> F14
[23:38] <skinux> How long should it take to do a version upgrade on a Cable connection?
[23:39] <daftykins> a cable connection can be ANY speed, your local mirror could be ANY speed and your system could be... you guessed it, ANY speed
[23:39] <daftykins> so - about as long as this piece of string takes to fray, i'd say.
[23:39] <soulisson> Hi, I have some connection issues, my understanding is that device files allows us to interact with devices, is that correct?
[23:39] <silvian> depends on your download speed
[23:39] <snowgoggles> weirddude:  f.18 has something related to secure boot...but applying that version may make your situation worse
[23:39] <EriC^^> + installed packages
[23:40] <skinux> I have a 34M connection speed.
[23:40] <EriC^^> anywhere between 1-3 hours
[23:40] <skinux> Is that just for downloading or installation too?
[23:40] <snowgoggles> weirddude: are you able to properly turn off secure boot and you're certain?  check your boot option menu provided by your machine and see what options it provides
[23:43] <weirddude> Yes it says secure boot. I disabled that and I also turned on legacy boot which disabled secure boot as well
[23:43] <snowgoggles> weirddude:  there's also a firmware patch for your drive as well
[23:44] <EriC^^> skinux: yeah 4hours tops i'd guess
[23:44] <weirddude> snowgoggles how would i apply the patch?
[23:46] <snowgoggles> weirddude: what version of ubuntu are you attempting to install?  verify you iso? did you create a live usb? from what utility?  tried more than 1 usb stick?
[23:46] <hhhh> f
[23:46] <hhhh> bonsoir
[23:47] <weirddude> snowgoggles: ubuntu 14.04 LTS, verified iso, im using dvd
[23:47] <nicomachus> !it | hhhh
[23:47] <snowgoggles> weirddude:  hardware wise i'm poking in the dark.... but your symptoms led me to full drive encryption with tpm lockdown...please look into my questions in my previous post
[23:48] <weirddude> snowgoggles i disabled bitlocker from services but i couldnt find TPM in bios
[23:48] <snowgoggles> weirddude: you burned a dvd?
[23:49] <weirddude> snowgoggles yes
[23:50] <snowgoggles> weirddude: try a live usb boot....optical drives die a slow death...mechanical failure with i/o issues...please try a live usb install...for troubleshooting purposes
[23:50] <weirddude> snowgoggles ok, ive already downloaded rufus so im using rufus
[23:51] <mekhami> can anyone help me with my font issue? I'm having trouble to get fontawesome icons working. The chrome one works just fine, but others don't. I installed it into ~/.fonts, ran sudo fc-cache -f -v, logged out and in, but it's not working correctly. (For clarity, I'm trying to get it to work in i3 using i3blocks.
[23:51] <mekhami> http://imgur.com/bOu9F9W here's a screenshot of the chrome icon working in both the bar and vim, but the other icons don't work.
[23:52] <devslash> When I install Ubuntu Server, will it install as a headless server by default ?
[23:52] <karl_> how to run im chats on linux
[23:52] <nicomachus> karl_: like what?

[23:52] <karl_> like facebook skype
[23:53] <karl_> everytime i sign my im chats in it always fails why is this
[23:53] <nicomachus> Ah. Facebook messenger you have to use in-browser. There is no native app. Skype can be installed from the repositories via terminal or Software Center
[23:53] <hhhh> bonsoir

[23:57] <nicomachus> karl_: that's not supported here.
[23:57] <karl_> ok
[23:57] <nicomachus> this is ubuntu support only, hence the channel name.
[23:57] <devslash> When I install Ubuntu Server, will it install as a headless server by default ??
[23:57] <karl_> ymlf is ubuntu
