[00:00] <vdevnull> pragmaticenigma, If i install windows and i run ubuntu in VM. everything working completly fine.
[00:00] <vdevnull> But if i install it..
[00:00] <vdevnull> Nothing work.
[00:00] <Bray90820> This is the error I am getting
[00:00] <Bray90820> Unable to create new logical volume with no extents mount: special device /dev/server/data-snap does not exist
[00:01] <pragmaticenigma> VM is not the same vdevnull
[00:01] <vdevnull> Yeah. but live cd have same issues aswell
[00:01] <vdevnull> as well
[00:01] <vdevnull> So what u say, I shouldn't have any issue ?
[00:02] <pragmaticenigma> there is a new version being relased next month, maybe what till then and see if you still have problems
[00:02] <pragmaticenigma> if the live cd doesnt work, don't install
[00:02] <pragmaticenigma> vdevnull, ^^
[00:02] <vdevnull> Seems i need to get this versions
[00:02] <vdevnull> http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201307-13902/
[00:05] <pragmaticenigma> that doesn't mean anything in your situation vdevnull
[00:06] <Rendelton> Hi, got a fresh 14.04 install and trying to would out a cross OS issues with wine and seeing "err:module:import_dll Library mfc110.dll" anyone in the room with some experience in the area?
[00:06] <vdevnull> I'll burn HP company soon
[00:07] <pragmaticenigma> Rendelton, i'd say what ever your trying to run is likely not compat with wine
[00:07] <pragmaticenigma> what is the program
[00:08] <MacCoaster> Using docker on aarch64 Ubuntu I get failed to create endpoint foo on network bridge failed to add host vethblah <=> sandbox vethblah pair interfaces operation not supported, whats the best way to debug this?
[00:08] <Rendelton> That was my thoughts just looking to see if I came to the wrong conclusion
[00:08] <MacCoaster> FWIW it's kernel 3.14 because ODROID C2. But aufs, overlayfs, etc. seem to be backported.
[00:09] <pragmaticenigma> MacCoaster, Docker is not supported here
[00:09] <nu7shell> Hi guys.
[00:09] <nu7shell> Im having a problem with my usb.
[00:09] <nu7shell> with my usb flash.
[00:10] <nu7shell> So happened that i was formating this USB and the laptop went off because i ran out of battery.
[00:10] <nu7shell> When i plugged in again it doesnt recognize it anymore.
[00:10] <Mathisen> Rendelton:  winetricks and install MSVC2012
[00:11] <nu7shell> It doesnt appear on lsusb nor lsblk
[00:11] <nu7shell> and dmesg shows me device descriptor read/64, error -71
[00:11] <nu7shell> My question is, this usb is gone? or it can be fixed?
[00:13] <pragmaticenigma> it probably can be fixed nu7shell ... if dmesg show a device connected its still working
[00:14] <Mathisen> nu7shell:  > https://paulphilippov.com/articles/how-to-fix-device-not-accepting-address-error
[00:16] <nu7shell> Mathisen, pragmaticenigma thanks guys
[00:21] <bobby_> hey what are you guys talking about?
[00:22] <Bashing-om> !topic | bobby_
[00:23] <Bray90820> Can someone help me recreate an LVM snapshot so I can copy files to my server as it's being backed up
[00:23] <Bray90820> As of right now when I try to back up I get this error
[00:23] <Bray90820> Unable to create new logical volume with no extents mount: special device /dev/server/data-snap does not exist
[00:25] <pragmaticenigma> Bray90820, when defining a new volume, you need to make sure you are giving it a size.
[00:25] <xnp70> using ubuntu server 14.04 I realized it is loading iptables, but I can't find where iptable's config is
[00:25] <xnp70> ufw is disabled
[00:26] <xnp70> what is the default iptables's config file ?
[00:26] <Bray90820> pragmaticenigma: the reason I believe it's failing right now is because the snapshot does not exist
[00:26] <dillon_> I got a .mkv file that I am trying to watch I get error message on vlc so what I did was uninstall it and the reinstall it with all of the boxes checked on software center and it still will not play so I figured why not I'll download some other media player and it could not play it, what could I do to get it to play.  I also tried to convert it to a .avi file (or any file) for that matter so I then tried handbrake and I could not
[00:26] <dillon_> figure out how to convert it.  so then I took said video file on my windows machine (it has avs video converter) and it also could not read the file.  What am I doing wrong, what can I do to watch said file?
[00:26] <vdevnull> pragmaticenigma, Sorry for disturb. But If i've Ubuntu installed in VM. Woudn't that help me?
[00:27] <pragmaticenigma> Bray90820, without knowing the steps prior to receiving that error message. the best any of us can assume is something is trying to create a volume with zero size
[00:27] <vdevnull> to find out what drivers i should use
[00:27] <vdevnull> or (currently using in vm)
[00:27] <dillon_> this is the vlc error message No suitable decoder module:
[00:27] <dillon_> VLC does not support the audio or video format "hevc". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.
[00:27] <pragmaticenigma> vdevnull, No, A VM is not the same as running it on a real computer. The VM is a special environment to emulate a real computer. It will not have the same configuration as you're actual machine
[00:27] <Bray90820> pragmaticenigma: So then where should I go from here?
[00:28] <pragmaticenigma> Bray90820, I'm not familiar with snapshotting LVMs... just that the error you received indicates a zero size volume
[00:29] <Bray90820> Apparently there is one already created I just need to utilize it somehow
[00:29] <pragmaticenigma> Bray90820, what you have appears to be a little more complex than a simple installation, and this might not be the correct forum for help
[00:29] <pragmaticenigma> correct => best
[00:29] <Bray90820> It was created with ubuntu so I just assumed
[00:29] <xnp70>  what is the default iptables's config file ?
[00:30] <Ben64> dillon_: hevc is a new codec, you need a player that supports that. mpv does (depending on your ubuntu version)
[00:30] <chasvane> #ubuntu-server may know
[00:30] <dillon_> Ben Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
[00:30] <chasvane> they are like the delta force of ubuntu support
[00:30] <Bray90820> chasvane: are you talking to me?
[00:30] <pragmaticenigma> Bray90820, I'm not saying you won't find help, just that you may have better luck in a room frequented by more advanced users
[00:31] <Bray90820> pragmaticenigma: Alright
[00:31] <Bray90820> Thanks
[00:31] <pragmaticenigma> yes Bray90820 , chasvane was talking to you
[00:31] <Bray90820> Thanks
[00:31] <Ben64> dillon_: you'd need to get it from a PPA then
[00:31] <chasvane> Bray90820, you require elite tier 1 operator help
[00:31] <Bray90820> Yep
[00:31] <bekks> Bray90820: you ran out of space. no chance to recreate a snapshot.
[00:31] <bekks> Bray90820: because you ran out of space, there is no snapshot to be recreated.
[00:32] <dillon_> Ben64 I found it on the Software Center however all I get the black screen of death
[00:32] <Bray90820> bekks: So if i shrunk my partition size do you think It would work?
[00:32] <vdevnull> pragmaticenigma, 14.04 LTS is good version according to my specification ?
[00:33] <bekks> Bray90820: You are using LVM, not partitions :)
[00:33] <Bray90820> bekks: Sorry that's what i meant
[00:33] <bekks> Bray90820: first of all, you need free extents, then, you can use them.
[00:33] <disc0very> hi
[00:34] <disc0very> can I ask here about Elementary OS Live from USB drive ?
[00:34] <Ben64> dillon_: black screen of death? anyway like i said, you'll need to use a ppa. ppa's are not supported here, and they are 3rd party repositories and software, best of luck. this is the ppa i use for mpv... https://launchpad.net/~mc3man/+archive/ubuntu/mpv-tests/+index?field.series_filter=trusty
[00:34] <Ben64> disc0very: elementary os isn't supported in this channel
[00:34] <bekks> !elementaryos | disc0very
[00:34] <bekks> !elementary | disc0very
[00:34] <Bray90820> bekks: I think I get what your saying
[00:34] <chasvane> #elementaryOS is like the disavowed CIA front company of ubuntu support
[00:35] <Bray90820> bekks: If I shrunk my LVM and created frees pace it might work
[00:35] <neldogz> pragmaticenigma, not looking to circumvent the black list, just want to find an updated copy so that I can avoid purchasing any SSD that is on that list.
[00:36] <dillon_> ben5
[00:36] <dillon_> ben64 it is the all black screen with no video and thanks for the help
[00:36] <pragmaticenigma> neldogz, I think the more recently produced drives have been fine. But good reason to have the list then... avoid fallout after
[00:37] <neldogz> pragmaticenigma, yes, I think this is it: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/e64f638483a21105c7ce330d543fa1f1c35b5bc7/drivers/ata/libata-core.c
[00:37] <dillon_> Ben64 is there anyway to convert the file to an .avi for any other file format?
[00:37] <Bray90820> bekks: Thanks you were actually a lot of help
[00:37] <pragmaticenigma> I found that earlier... most of what I've seen in google searches has been directed at samsung for some reason
[00:38] <Ben64> dillon_: not really
[00:38] <Ben64> dillon_: and mkv and avi are both containers, not formats
[00:38] <dillon_> Ben64 thanks for the help
[00:42] <Itsan> heey
[00:44] <disc0very> can I ask here about Elementary OS ?
[00:45] <stacks88> if i have a dedicated server that is ubuntu 14.04 but the server provider installed some weird custom kernel of theirs.. can i still use apt to install the typical ubuntu 14.04 kernel instead ?
[00:45] <stacks88> and how would i do that ? would i just apt-get install linux-image-3.13.0-77-generic
[00:47] <k1l> stacks88: is it a bare metal server? or a vps or such?
[00:47] <stacks88> its a physical server / real machine
[00:47] <bekks> stacks88: can you show us the output of "uname -a"?
[00:48] <stacks88> its ovh. when you go to install the OS on the server, there is an option "Install original kernel" - ive done it many times. But today, its not working. Has to be some error on OVH's part. "An error occurred while requesting to install the distribution Ubuntu Server 14.04 "Trusty Tahr" LTS - ubuntu1404-server on the server ns526333.ip-149-56-16.net with the language EN (This server must be
[00:48] <stacks88> installed with OVH custom Linux kernel)" -- complete bullshit. their phone support is not answering..... i bought this server for 1 week for testing purposes. So since they arent answering the phone, i think im just going to go ahead and install it with their custom kernel that i dont want. but once i get into the OS, thats where im wondering how can i install the typical ubuntu kernel instead
[00:49] <stacks88> so im assuming it'll be what i was saying earlier, somethign along the lines of apt-get install linux-image-3.13.0-77-generic
[00:49] <bekks> stacks88: can you show us the output of "uname -a"?
[00:49] <stacks88> but if thats wrong im sure you guys know a better more accurate way
[00:50] <stacks88> bekks the OS has not been installed yet. i have to install ubuntu 14.04 on it. but for some reason the web interface is saying i can only install it w/ their custom kernel crap. so if i do load ubuntu 14.04 on there with their custom kernel, how can i then install the typical kernel from ubuntu instead ? i.e 3.13.0-77-generic
[00:50] <stacks88> details are in my earlier message
[00:50] <stacks88> or i might have to edit some grub file im guessing
[00:50] <bekks> stacks88: So if thats what their systems tells you, contact them on how to install a stock kernel.
[00:50] <k1l> stacks88: i wonder if that custom kernel got a reason. but you could install the "linux-generic" meta package
[00:51] <stacks88> k1l: its got to be some error w/ their system today. cause ive never received this message and i always choose "Install original kernel".. but ive been listeneing to hold music for like 15 mins now so i guess ill try the linux-generic
[00:52] <MixMasterMike> hi
[00:54] <nu7shell> Hey, im having this trouble with my usb flashdrive
[00:54] <nu7shell> So happened that my laptop went off when i was given format to this usb.
[00:54] <nu7shell> Now it doesnt shows anymore when plugged.
[00:54] <nu7shell> Not even blink any led that have my usb.
[00:54] <nu7shell> I believed that its dead, but i ran dmesg | grep usb and this is what i get
[00:54] <nu7shell> https://dpaste.de/10Xj
[00:54] <daftykins> i'd be willing to bet the provider is using some hypervisor tech that requires a specific kernel
[00:54] <daftykins> nu7shell: don't paste here in future :) you just got temp muted!
[00:55] <daftykins> nu7shell: when you're back, show us a http://paste.ubuntu.com of "dmesg | tail" _after_ plugging in the drive
[00:55] <pragmaticenigma> nu7shell, this may sounds strange... but do you have a windows machine? try plugging it in there and see if windows asks you to format it
[00:56] <nu7shell> daftykins, https://dpaste.de/10Xj does this help?
[00:56] <nu7shell> daftykins, this is what i get when i try dmesg | grep usb when i plugged the usb
[00:57] <neldogz> pragmaticenigma, yup its in the kernel: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/ata/libata-core.c?id=refs/tags/v4.5-rc7
[00:57] <neldogz> pragmaticenigma, right under devices that don't properly handle queued TRIM commands
[00:57] <nu7shell> pragmaticenigma, im going to try it right now.
[00:57] <daftykins> nu7shell: no it does not, do what i asked
[00:58] <heyo> need help. using ubuntu 14.04 or 15.10 i dont have headphone sound, only after i suspend it and restore... any way to fix this? im on asus laptop
[00:59] <nu7shell> daftykins, https://paste.ubuntu.com/15353131/
[01:00] <daftykins> heyo: what about replugging?
[01:00] <heyo> doesnt work
[01:00] <heyo> i have tried so many things
[01:00] <daftykins> nu7shell: got a Windows system as suggested? otherwise try again from a booted live session
[01:01] <nu7shell> daftykins, windows doesnt recognize it.
[01:01] <nu7shell> daftykins, unknown device. its a kingston memory 8gb
[01:02] <daftykins> sounds dead then, either do the above or toss it
[01:02] <heyo> the weird thing is that with the live usb headphone sound works ok
[01:02] <pragmaticenigma> nu7shell, bummer ... I think it's dead too
[01:03] <nu7shell> Yeah, i believe it too.. i was given it format and laptop went off
[01:03] <pragmaticenigma> nu7shell, best lesson... never do criticle system operations on battery :-(
[01:04] <nu7shell> pragmaticenigma, yep, :(
[01:05] <nu7shell> thanks anyways pragmaticenigma daftykins
[01:05] <nu7shell> :)
[01:05] <pragmaticenigma> nu7shell, forunately you can get new ones relatively cheep
[01:05] <heyo> so no one have any idea to help me?
[01:06] <pragmaticenigma> !patience | heyo
[01:14] <mote> ff
[01:16] <goddard> does an open source virtualization program exist that allows you to do GPU pass through?
[01:17] <stacks88> if you run debsums command (tool for verification of installed package files against MD5 checksums), and it comes back OK for everything, no files are missing from packages, etc.. does that mean the system would come back from a reboot in the case of some files accidentally deleted?
[01:17] <goddard> virtual box has this functionality but requires a closed binary
[01:22] <Eduard_Munteanu> goddard, Xen and KVM should be able to do GPU passthrough these days.
[01:23] <pragmaticenigma> stacks88, that would only verify files that exist... not sure if files missing would get flagged
[01:26] <goddard> Eduard_Munteanu: wow this looks pretty good... so why do I always see everyone using virtual box?
[01:26] <Eduard_Munteanu> goddard, I wondered that too, never used it myself. I think it's easier to set up.
[01:27] <Eduard_Munteanu> It's also got some following from Windows users, I take it.
[01:31] <pragmaticenigma> goddard, because it's cross platform... VMs made can run on any platform that Virtual Box supports
[01:33] <goddard> pragmaticenigma: ahh
[01:43] <Panic0> ghost
[01:45] <goddard> Eduard_Munteanu: pragmaticenigma do you guys know if xen will work with a vmware image?
[01:45] <goddard> vmdk
[01:46] <RoadRunner> Want to make a permanent change to one of my Grub booting options: a change in the kernel line (linux /boot/vmlinuz...) from "root=UUID=xxxx" to "root=/dev/sdax". But /etc/default/grub file, meant for user customization, doesn't make any mention of UUID's and /boot/grub/grub.cfg which specificaly reffers to UUID's, says "not to edit this file".
[01:48] <RoadRunner> am I to ignore the warning and edit grub.cfg manually after all?
[01:50] <pragmaticenigma> goddard, not sure... I kind of doubt it ,,, vmware uses a proprietary tech... OSS may not support it
[01:51] <pragmaticenigma> goddard, you'd have to check the documentation of xen
[02:00] <Ben64> RoadRunner: no and why would you want to change it from UUID
[02:03] <RoadRunner> Ben64: it is my clone partition and every time I'll throw on a newer image the UUID will change
[02:05] <pragmaticenigma> One issue with you idea RoadRunner is that the kernal may not recognize that "path" as reserved and may mount another device on it... which could corrupt your clone image
[02:06] <pragmaticenigma> RoadRunner, I'd suggest reading up on why UUIDs are now used
[02:06] <nicomachus> my HTPC running 14.04 has some sort of feature where if I hit the touchpad a certain way, it opens the Dash to search photos. It's super annoying. and I can't find the setting for it anywhere. Any ideas?
[02:08] <Electron-> No idea, but its super annoying and if you fix it send me a DM lol
[02:08] <nicomachus> :(
[02:08] <nicomachus> i can't even reproduce it. it just seems random.
[02:09] <pragmaticenigma> nicomachus, do you need the touchpad for anything? you could disable it
[02:09] <RoadRunner> pragmaticenigma: I know that UUID's are more robust, but in my case the clone part is /dev/sda7 which isn't used for anything else and making a temporary change from UUID to dev label works just fine.  If I should decide to change my partition structure in the future, I'll change Grub accordingly
[02:09] <nicomachus> pragmaticenigma: well, yea. It's the only mouse I have for the machine.
[02:09] <Electron-> It has to do with touching two points on the pad. My windows laptop has that feature "", it opens IE
[02:09] <nicomachus> It's a 2-in-1 keyboard/touchpad wireless thing
[02:11] <pragmaticenigma> nicomachus, depending on what program you run, you could always script it such that when your HTPC is in HT mode, it disables the touchpad... re-enables it when you're done
[02:12] <pragmaticenigma> RoadRunner, it sounds like this is a more advance topic... maybe #ubuntu-server may have a better suggestion
[02:12] <RoadRunner> pragmaticenigma: moreover, the sda7 part isn't used so much for back up long term as just for checking a new backup image right after it is created (for the primary back up device)
[02:14] <nicomachus> pragmaticenigma: not a solution. It happens when I using the touchpad to select media or whatever.
[02:25] <pragmaticenigma> nicomachus, sounds like you don't want help
[02:26] <Electron-> You could try changing drivers, maybe a different driver wont support that feature
[02:27] <pragmaticenigma> nicomachus, check this out http://askubuntu.com/questions/133207/how-can-i-disable-the-multitouch-gestures-in-ubuntu/198524#198524
[02:27] <Electron-> Not really a solution, but if you get stuck it might be worth a shot.
[02:28] <eNull> Hello im new to ubuntu
[02:28] <eNull> How do i verify if i missingdrivers?
[02:31] <pragmaticenigma> eNull, you need to be more specific... is there something not working that should be?
[02:32] <nicomachus> pragmaticenigma: if you offer actual solutions instead of "don't use the touchpad" then I'll take them... but saying not to use it is not a solution at all.
[02:32] <eNull> pragmaticenigma: its me vdevnull. Im running ubuntu from usb. And wifi / sound working. Should i install it?
[02:33] <Electron-> Just looking at the url it's about disabling the multi touch feature. Which is what is opening random programs.
[02:33] <pragmaticenigma> eNull, Do you have a secondary machine?
[02:33] <eNull> Sadly no.
[02:34] <eNull> But seems working 14.04
[02:34] <eNull> Live
[02:34] <nicomachus> Electron-: I'm looking at, but it's not multi-touch that's causing this. And I can't find a multitouch feature anywhere that opens the dash to search photos.
[02:34] <styles> I'm trying to install an update via apt-get and this package is failing at : Setting up keyboard-configuration (1.108ubuntu9)
[02:34] <pragmaticenigma> nicomachus, it's a "Gesture" multitouch is just a feature of the hardware, you can't disable that. You can control what it responds to
[02:34] <styles> It just freezes forever
[02:37] <eNull> pragmaticenigma: if drivers worked in live usb that means they will work in normal installation right!
[02:37] <pragmaticenigma> eNull,  yes, if the live USB is working as expected, then it should work as a full install
[02:38] <eNull> @pragmaticenigma: thanks boss. 1000000 thanks
[02:38] <eNull> Loveee uuuu
[02:39] <RoadRunner> pragmaticenigma: re: seeking a better suggestion: I did not hear any suggestion or answer to my question (after all, I did not ask if it is a good idea, I asked how to do it)
[02:40] <pragmaticenigma> RoadRunner, because no one here presently knows
[02:40] <RoadRunner> pragmaticenigma: in that case, thanks for trying :)
[02:40] <pragmaticenigma> Majority of the people here are using Ubuntu as a desktop with a simple configuration
[02:41] <pragmaticenigma> that's why I'm trying to direct you towards a better support channel
[02:41] <daftykins> knows what?
[02:41] <daftykins> pragmaticenigma: that's utter rubbish and i would appreciate it if you would cut the assumption
[02:41] <daftykins> it's the _weekend_ most aren't active right now.
[02:42] <SkepticalParrot> So... fdisk -l and lsblk lists drives that are connected to the system. Is there something similar to that that lists servers I've connected to via ssh, ftp and smb?
[02:43] <RoadRunner> daftykins: can you look up in the channel 1hr earlier or would you like me to repost my question?
[02:43] <nicomachus> best to repost
[02:43] <daftykins> RoadRunner: executive summary would be great, i'm eating right now
[02:44] <daftykins> SkepticalParrot: not that i know of, single instance mounts or connections won't really have a trace
[02:44] <nicomachus> if you've stored a key for each, though
[02:44] <RoadRunner> Want to make a permanent change to one of my Grub booting options: a change in the kernel line (linux /boot/vmlinuz...) from "root=UUID=xxxx" to "root=/dev/sdax". But /etc/default/grub file, meant for user customization, doesn't make any mention of UUID's and /boot/grub/grub.cfg which specificaly reffers to UUID's, says "not to edit this file". Am I to ignore the warning and edit grub.cfg manually
[02:44] <daftykins> that's true
[02:44] <daftykins> there's always "netstat -tuln" for standard connections too
[02:45] <nicomachus> SkepticalParrot: you can check in .ssh/known_hosts
[02:45] <nicomachus> .ssh should be in home
[02:45] <daftykins> RoadRunner: that grub.cfg is generated by /etc/default/grub after invoking "sudo update-grub", yes.
[02:46] <daftykins> RoadRunner: the _right_ place would be /etc/fstab to modify a UUID for / to be a device id
[02:47] <RoadRunner> daftykins: done that but strangely, the desired change manifested itself everywhere EXCEPT on the kernel line I am asking about
[02:47] <daftykins> well, why do you so specifically desire it there? i have to say that this task stinks of 'ridiculous'
[02:48] <daftykins> what are you really trying to achieve - from a conceptual level?
[02:48] <Bray90820_> Anyone wanna create a kinda complicated backup script for me for most of my data I want my system to incrementally be backed up every night at 3AM and keep only 30 backups
[02:48] <daftykins> no.
[02:49] <daftykins> tonnes of apps available and scripts online you can read, learn from and edit
[02:49] <daftykins> !backup
[02:49] <RoadRunner> daftykins: reposting again: my clone partition (sda7) isn't used so much for back up long term as just for checking a new backup image right after it is created (to be stored on the primary back up device)
[02:50] <daftykins> RoadRunner: you're telling me that you clone your real root to another partition on the _same_ disk and then want to switch over to boot from it?
[02:51] <daftykins> you don't appear to be aware how foolish "backing up" to the same disk is
[02:51] <squinty> SkepticalParrot,  install smbclient and then run smbtree for samba shares
[02:51] <meskes> Looks like I walked in at the right time
[02:51] <RoadRunner> daftykins: re-read carefully what I just reposted
[02:52] <daftykins> yeah, that's the most ridiculous strategy i have seen employed in computing.
[02:53] <RoadRunner> daftykins: my long term storage of back up images IS on a different computer
[02:53] <daftykins> i bet you dd them too huh?
[02:53] <RoadRunner> no
[02:53] <meskes> hahaha
[02:53] <meskes> dd to them
[02:55] <RoadRunner> daftykins: as I said to pragmaticenigma earlier, I am not asking for an opinion on the merits of my backup strategy, I just want to know if anyone here can answer my question exactly as I asked it
[02:55] <daftykins> RoadRunner: that's nice, but you get what you're given
[02:57] <RoadRunner> daftykins: I guess, this isn't the best hour on this channel for constructive feedback
[03:00] <pragmaticenigma> It's a matter of not understanding why you are doing what you are doing.
[03:00] <daftykins> i get it, it's just pants on head retarded
[03:02] <nicomachus> why would you backup something on the same disk... that's not a backup. It's just a copy.
[03:02] <daftykins> apparently it's a "test" XD
[03:04] <Nathanj> Is there a way for me to fix the "package runit is not configured yet" problem when installing with apt-get
[03:04] <pragmaticenigma> the only way it makes sense to me is to snapshot the disk locally before sending the image up for backup
[03:06] <pragmaticenigma> I guess it also makes sense for an upgrade of kernels or something similar, to be able to quickly swap back to a known working image
[03:06] <pragmaticenigma> but you wouldn't be upgrading kernels on a production system without first testing it elsehere
[03:07] <strieder> hello?
[03:08] <krabador> strieder, ask
[03:08] <pragmaticenigma> lionel richie everyone
[03:08] <krabador> keith emerson everyone
[03:09] <strieder> what exactly is this?
[03:09] <pragmaticenigma> strieder, define "this" we are not capable of knowing what you are thinking
[03:09] <krabador> strieder, what do you think , an irc channel named #ubuntu can be?
[03:11] <strieder> I should have thought a minute before I asked
[03:11] <strieder> sorry
[03:12] <krabador> strieder, somebody bound you ?
[03:12] <jaake> hello
[03:12] <krabador> hi
[03:13] <jaake> I am on 16.04 and I need to enable a third party ppa with no release file thing
[03:13] <jaake> I looked at the man 8 apt-secure page
[03:13] <jaake> but I don't know where to put that line to enable them
[03:14] <krabador> jaake, /apt/etc/sources.list ?
[03:14] <jaake> I tried creating a new file in /etc/apt/apt-conf.d/98allowinsecurerepo but I kept getting syntax errors
[03:15] <daftykins> jaake: that's only on topic in #ubuntu+1
[03:17] <jaake> ha figured it out, just needed a ;
[03:18] <jaake> psh, nevermind still didn't work
[03:29] <Tarvos> Hola
[03:29] <Tarvos> Hi
[03:32] <eNull> Help. Seems my wifi driver missing when i ran ubuntu from live usb was working
[03:32] <eNull> I had an option in addtional drivers
[03:32] <eNull> But now i can find it
[03:37] <Bashing-om> eNull: Do you have a working wired connection at this time ? What do you see in the "Additional Drivers" utility ?
[03:37] <eNull> Yes wired working
[03:38] <eNull> Bashing-om: when i was running from live i had like option with 801 selection
[03:38] <eNull> That caused wifi to work
[03:38] <eNull> But i just installed ubuntu and i cant find it
[03:39] <Bashing-om> eNull: Try and see if a WIFI driver is offered in "Additional Drivers" .
[03:40] <eNull> No addiotnal drivers available
[03:41] <Bashing-om> eNull: Well, WIFI is not in my comfort zone, I know of nothing else to offer at this time .
[03:42] <eNull> Thank you sir
[03:45] <Bashing-om> eNull: Hang loose, for those who know how to identify the card and load the correct driver .
[03:47] <eNull> Bashing-om: ahh i wish some could help. Now connected via usb stick with 7 kb speed. So to run update would take me one month
[03:47] <eNull> :(((
[03:52] <daftykins> eNull: "lspci" to identify the card, throw it in a paste for us
[03:52] <daftykins> or install pastebinit and then run "lspci | pastebinit"
[03:54] <eNull> Roger boss
[03:55] <eNull> Pastebin.com/za27xbhj
[03:55] <daftykins> !broadcom | eNull you have a broadcom 43142, read up here
[03:57] <eNull> Too much information
[03:57] <eNull> Im newbie
[04:03] <Bray90820_> How would I have my backup script keep my last 30 backups
[04:03] <daftykins> timestamp and delete on a folder count
[04:05] <eNull> daftykins the document says uts in kernel package
[04:06] <eNull> Linux
[04:06] <eNull> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux
[04:06] <daftykins> eNull: "ifconfig -a" in a paste
[04:06] <daftykins> eNull: also "dpkg -l | grep broadcom"
[04:08] <eNull> Pastebin.com/1TsMrYrH
[04:08] <daftykins> eNull: is this a laptop?
[04:08] <daftykins> is there a reason you would have two NICs *other* than the wifi?
[04:08] <eNull> Yes
[04:09] <eNull> Usb stick
[04:09] <eNull> Net
[04:09] <daftykins> is that how you're online right now though?
[04:09] <eNull> Yes
[04:09] <daftykins> but your laptop has built in wired, is it broken?
[04:10] <eNull> I have two connect options
[04:10] <eNull> Usb / Wifi
[04:10] <eNull> Usb seems acting like wired
[04:11] <derfoh94> Hello
[04:11] <daftykins> can you run the other command i listed?
[04:12] <eNull> Empty
[04:12] <eNull> Return nothing
[04:12] <daftykins> ok so you don't have the packages installed like the guide wanted
[04:12] <daftykins> i think you misread it
[04:12] <eNull> i need install linux stuff
[04:12] <daftykins> eNull: run "sudo apt update && sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source
[04:12] <daftykins> "
[04:13] <eNull> sudo apt-get update = sudo apt update?
[04:13] <daftykins> yes
[04:13] <daftykins> well no
[04:13] <daftykins> you type the command exactly as i typed it, it works
[04:13] <daftykins> apt is different to apt-get
[04:14] <eNull> Oh okay. My net speed is 7kb :p
[04:14] <eNull> Would take me time
[04:15] <daftykins> 7 kilobytes per second? surely not
[04:15] <eNull> I swear
[04:15] <eNull> I have moved to new appartment i dont have adsl yet
[04:15] <eNull> So im connecting via my phone wifi..
[04:15] <daftykins> hah.
[04:15] <daftykins> sounds like EDGE
[04:16] <eNull> But now i cant use my phone so im using usb
[04:16] <eNull> And crap
[04:16] <eNull> Dial-up days :P
[04:16] <eNull> Actually dial-up was faster than this stupid usb
[04:17] <eNull> I'm runninf apt-get update :( if i halt it it cause any damage?
[04:19] <daftykins> nope
[04:19] <eNull> 7,952 B/s :(((((
[04:20] <virtuosoj> sorry eNull :p
[04:20] <daftykins> cut the chat
[04:20] <virtuosoj> Downloading 16.04 daily for the first time... after maining Ubuntu 15.10 and Fedora 23 what can I expect?
[04:21] <daftykins> virtuosoj: to go into #ubuntu+1 where unreleased versions are on-topic
[04:22] <virtuosoj> no responses in there :(
[04:22] <daftykins> you won't get one here, support of released versions only.
[04:22] <eNull> daftykins: downloading updates will take time. So just in case. Do ineed anything more to do after installing that package
[04:22] <eNull> ?
[04:22] <daftykins> i did link you to the guide page so you could do it first hand...
[04:23] <eNull> Thanks buddy
[04:23] <eNull> If i have any problem i will come ask for help
[04:23] <eNull> Thanks for helping
[04:23] <daftykins> np
[04:24] <Guest42297> Heyo
[04:25] <daftykins> lo
[04:25] <virtuosoj> if I decide to opt for the netinstall of 15.10, what can I expect?
[04:26] <virtuosoj> I won't have to apt update after install right? latest packages on first go?
[04:26] <daftykins> not necessarily
[04:27] <daftykins> also you can't EFI install from mini.iso
[04:27] <virtuosoj> ohhh thanks dafty, cant do that then
[04:27] <Guest42297> net install should be fine
[04:28] <daftykins> net = mini.
[04:31] <Guest42297> ?join #/tpg/
[04:33] <belkant> Question: Wasn't ubuntu 14.04 supposed to support Secure Boot installs? I keep trying to launch my UEFI Ubuntu 14.04 USB install, but I'm getting "Invalid signature detected"
[04:33] <daftykins> yes and it has since 12.04.2-ish, but the trouble is laptop makers keep moving the goalposts and making life harder
[04:34] <daftykins> some require you to 'bless' / 'approve' the EFI boot image before it'll start
[04:34] <belkant> It's an old Surface Pro Gen 1
[04:34] <daftykins> oh well NOW you say the relevant part of the story
[04:34] <daftykins> naturally a Microsoft device is going to have the toughest form of EFI :P
[04:34] <belkant> damn !
[04:35] <daftykins> belkant: you can still get into it and disable these functions
[04:35] <daftykins> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E47f7n8N4PA
[04:35] <belkant> I've been googling / digging like a mad man but from what I've read this is suppoed to jsut work. Yes I can end up disabling secure boot for sure but I was at a loss based on what I was reading and 14.04 release
[04:36] <daftykins> are you trying to install it as a dualboot?
[04:36] <belkant> daftykins: clearly I didn't formulate the question all the way... sorry. Yes I want to dual boot it next to a Win 10 install
[04:38] <daftykins> belkant: mmm i'd dig around in the EFI first and see what you can do then, 14.04.4 media you threw on a flash drive yeah?
[04:38] <belkant> daftykins: you betcha, latest and greatest
[04:39] <daftykins> mmm, you have one of the keyboard cover things i take it?
[04:39] <daftykins> else you'd have fun and games with bootloaders
[04:39] <loken> can somebody help me with a problem?
[04:39] <daftykins> not until you describe it
[04:39] <belkant> daftykins: I have a keyboard cover, but also other keyboards if required
[04:40] <daftykins> belkant: ah i set up a surface pro 4 the other day and we were yet to get the cover case, only one USB so i couldn't boot a flash drive and try it out XD
[04:40] <Guest93236> ubuntu 16.04 is hanging at crypt unlock
[04:40] <daftykins> Guest93236: it's not supported in here, #ubuntu+1
[04:40] <Guest93236> what 16.04?
[04:40] <Guest93236> oh I see that now
[04:40] <virtuosoj> daftykins, are you paid to mod this channel? I'm curious
[04:41] <daftykins> no we're all volunteers that do it solely for our love of virtual cookies
[04:41] <daftykins> (seriously)
[04:41] <virtuosoj> yeah. I figured
[04:42] <virtuosoj> thanks. IRC has helped so much since I started linux in december
[04:42] <daftykins> :>
[04:51] <C0r3> Hello guys, I have a issue with my pc. I have installed Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 recently and I'm not able to run any command preceded with sudo. It says, "<username> not in the sudoers file." How to fix that?
[04:52] <Guest42297> have you tried switching DE's and seeing if the problem continues?
[04:52] <daftykins> C0r3: were you the first created user during installation?
[04:53] <C0r3> daftykins: Actually it's my friends pc. I have no clue.
[04:53] <Mithun> hey all
[04:54] <daftykins> C0r3: are you in front of it? or are they on the phone / IM?
[04:54] <daftykins> because i don't do indirect help
[04:54] <C0r3> daftykins: In front
[04:54] <Mithun> I don't know where am I
[04:54] <C0r3> Tell me what to do
[04:54] <daftykins> ok type "id" in the term to check if you're user ID 1000
[04:54] <Mithun> What is this place?
[04:55] <daftykins> it is the end of all things, for we are legion
[04:55] <FFox> Its an IRC channel on an irc network.
[04:55] <daftykins> or, it could be the topic.
[04:55] <C0r3> uid=1001 gid=1001 and groups=1001
[04:55] <FFox> what are you?
[04:55] <FFox> daftykins: thats the other network.
[04:55] <Mithun> texas
[04:55] <daftykins> C0r3: yep so that's not the first user created on that system. "ls /home" will list the true first one
[04:56] <C0r3> daftykins: I see system and the other username
[04:56] <Mithun> what is irc channel
[04:56] <Mithun> is it like a techsupport
[04:56] <C0r3> Mithun: Check wikipedia
[04:56] <FFox> Mithun: type /join #channel
[04:56] <virtuosoj> is distrohopping and reinstalling OSs a lot bad on your harddrive, for its health?
[04:56] <FFox>  /join #channel
[04:56] <FFox> just like that
[04:56] <daftykins> C0r3: right so you'd have to log into that one and add the user you're in as now as an admin to use sudo.
[04:57] <FFox> nope virtuosoj
[04:57] <daftykins> virtuosoj: nope, they're there to work.
[04:57] <Guest42297> i want to know what virtuosoj asked
[04:57] <virtuosoj> cool
[04:57] <Mithun> got it
[04:57] <C0r3> daftykins: But to add the user to sudoers file I need root privileges.
[04:57] <FFox> i mean, writing/reading from a drive will wear it out... but no more than simply using it would.
[04:57] <virtuosoj> guest: " is distrohopping and reinstalling OSs a lot bad on your harddrive, for its health?"
[04:57] <daftykins> C0r3: but you'd be able to use sudo from the account with ID 1000...
[04:57] <daftykins> so that would be fine.
[04:57] <virtuosoj> as in, reinstalling OS completely again and again
[04:58] <C0r3> daftykins: So I have to login with that account?
[04:58] <FFox> virtuosoj: doesn't do any more harm than saving a text file.
[04:58] <daftykins> C0r3: i suspect you're not telling the full story here, it's either a school system or it's not whose you say it is.
[04:58] <daftykins> C0r3: yes that's what i said, isn't it?
[04:58] <daftykins> < daftykins> C0r3: right so you'd have to log into that one...
[04:58] <C0r3> daftykins: Okay!
[04:59] <Mithun> how to see if I have a certain software, say .rar is installed in my pc or not, and how to install it if it's not there?
[04:59] <daftykins> dpkg -l | grep unrar
[04:59] <daftykins> sudo apt install unrar
[04:59] <C0r3> daftykins: I got it. Now?
[05:00] <Mithun> so no need to download it?
[05:02] <daftykins> C0r3: got what...
[05:02] <daftykins> Mithun: Linux is about package management, programs are just a command away.
[05:02] <C0r3> daftykins: Got into that account. And done with 'sudo gpasswd -a <username> sudo'. Thanks :)
[05:03] <daftykins> isn't google a fine thing?
[05:06] <eNull> daftykins: here?
[05:07] <daftykins> yus
[05:08] <eNull> Can u give me the second command after update
[05:09] <eNull> Chat history deleted dunno why
[05:09] <daftykins> you could have typed it into a text editor =|
[05:09] <daftykins> or written it down!
[05:09] <eNull> Sry :/
[05:09] <daftykins> sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source
[05:10] <eNull> <3
[05:14] <eNull> daftykins: youre the man
[05:15] <eNull> Thxxx allooot
[05:15] <daftykins> working?
[05:15] <eNull> Its working
[05:15] <daftykins> yay
[05:15] <eNull> <3 <3
[05:15] <lotuspsychje> !cookie | daftykins
[05:15] <eNull> Beer too
[05:15] <daftykins> 8D
[05:16] <daftykins> hmm speaking of i forget to get one from the fridge earlier
[05:16] <eNull> Haha
[05:16] <eNull> Do u guys suggest any irc client?
[05:16] <lotuspsychje> eNull: hexchat
[05:17] <lotuspsychje> eNull: but depends really what you like
[05:17] <eNull> Majority uses hex
[05:36] <Sinist3r> Hey deplhi
[05:36] <deplhi> yo
[05:41] <dejavou42> I'm trying to implement this script http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/block-entier-country-using-iptables/ into ubuntu it gets to the 	for ipblock in $BADIPS loop, and hangs
[05:41] <dejavou42> I'm guessing that this is due to a change in the iptables command
[05:42] <daftykins> one way to find out
[05:42] <dejavou42> hows that?
[05:42] <daftykins> running it manually
[05:48] <Colombo1> hi all, since 15.10 has bug in usb-creator, what is good way to create bootable flashdrive?
[05:49] <dejavou42> 14.04?
[05:49] <Colombo1> I tried dd, but while I can dd into sdb1, I can't into sdb, which is supposed to be the "right" way.
[05:49] <dejavou42> :)
[05:49] <reisio> Colombo1: why can't you
[05:49] <Colombo1> reisio: why can't I ... ?
[05:50] <daftykins> Colombo1: i'd bet you have a partition mounted already and need to unmount it prior
[05:50] <Colombo1> dejavou42: So I can create bootable flash drive of 15.10 in 14.04?
[05:50] <Colombo1> daftykins: I umounted that.
[05:50] <Colombo1> I can try it again.
[05:51] <reisio> Colombo1: what's stopping you from doing it
[05:51] <dejavou42> Colombo1: sorry, that was sarcasm, but technically, yes you could. as long as you have the iso image
[05:52] <Colombo1> dejavou42: Coincidently, that notebook I want to reformat is 14.04, but my desktop is 15.10, so your sarkasm sounded like a serious option.
[05:54] <wsdjeg> hi why apt-get install gradle need openjdk7,I have installed openjdk8,why the package manager ask me to install an old version
[05:54] <daftykins> because it doesn't support 8...
[05:55] <daftykins> why not ask the devs.
[05:55] <daftykins> (of gradle, whatever that is)
[05:57] <wsdjeg> gradle do not support jdk8? oh sorry ,that should not be the issue of ubuntu
[05:58] <Colombo1> I can umount it, but it says that partition is not mounted. However, lsblk still sees it and dd if... | pv | of.. just stops
[05:58] <daftykins> that's my point :>
[05:58] <daftykins> Colombo1: no need for any of that crap, "sudo dd if=file.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=2M"
[05:58] <daftykins> should be juuuust fine
[05:59] <Colombo1> x -> b?
[05:59] <Colombo1> in my case?
[06:00] <Colombo1> If so, no, it is not fine, that is not working...
[06:00] <daftykins> you realise it doesn't give output, right?
[06:00] <daftykins> it'll sit there with a cursor 'til it's done.
[06:01] <Colombo1> daftykins: in my case, it doesnt do anything, it finishes instantly. Thats why I put pv into it to see if it does anything
[06:02] <daftykins> sounds like your download is screwed
[06:02] <daftykins> if it *did* claim to be finished, it would at least spit out stats
[06:03] <Colombo1> download seems to be OK, other stuff didnt work and when I try to create bootable flash drive with other stuff, it makes something on that flash drive
[06:03] <Colombo1> so again, is there another way how to create bootable flashdrive in ubuntu 15.10?
[06:10] <copkyle420> hi all
[06:11] <daftykins> hi
[06:12] <copkyle420> im looking for a little help installing a vnc server on ubuntu mate 15.10 on a raspberry pi 3 and connecting to that server from an android device using GUI desktop. any help would be epic, thanks in advance
[06:13] <daftykins> how delightfully insecure
[06:14] <copkyle420> lol im not as worried about security as i am functionality.
[06:14] <daftykins> how come you're remoting graphically from a tablet/phone to a Pi toy then XD
[06:15] <copkyle420> ive googled and googled and googled and nothing seems to work.
[06:15] <daftykins> i suspect there are roughly a billion guides on installing VNC online, so i don't quite see any specific need to reiterate
[06:15] <daftykins> well, maybe say where you got stuck on any one guide?
[06:15] <virtuosoj> ok I installed 15.10. Unity crashed - panel and launcher exited
[06:16] <virtuosoj> I can still open terminal with shortcut and open programs that way
[06:16] <virtuosoj> should I log out and back in? or is there a good way to restart unity?
[06:16] <virtuosoj> via terminal
[06:16] <daftykins> dunno if "unity --replace" will work
[06:17] <copkyle420> basically i need to be able to use it on the go with my usb or wifi tethering. and im getting stuck (i believe) at connecting from the device to the pi. ive used multiple vnc apps as well with different configurations.
[06:17] <virtuosoj> ok screw this. how do I log out from terminal
[06:18] <daftykins> copkyle420: then SSH is the way, not GUI
[06:18] <copkyle420> right now i have x11vnc server installed
[06:18] <daftykins> virtuosoj: "sudo service lightdm restart"
[06:19] <copkyle420> i would need to be able to see and use the desktop which didnt seem feasible through ssh from what i had read about it
[06:19] <virtuosoj> OK I did that command dafty, it worked but when I log in, same situation
[06:19] <virtuosoj> No launcher, no top panel
[06:20] <virtuosoj> but I can still alt tab through windows, ctrl+alt+t to open terminal
[06:20] <CalebW> Something is wrong with my upgrader and I don't know how to fix it.
[06:20] <CalebW> It hasn't done a full update in a while, only partial-upgrades
[06:20] <virtuosoj> Could it possibly be an issue with Redshift? That was one of the only programs I have installed so far
[06:20] <daftykins> was this an install on top of mini.iso - or a desktop image install?
[06:21] <virtuosoj> or unity-tweak-tool, that seems more likely. when it happened I just edited a hotkey of the window manager to show desktop
[06:21] <virtuosoj> desktop image install.
[06:21] <virtuosoj> 15.10
[06:21] <daftykins> so you probably need to update first?
[06:21] <CalebW> This is the output of `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` http://paste.ubuntu.com/15355763/
[06:21] <virtuosoj> I already did, and rebooted
[06:21] <SkepticalParrot> I cannot add the eawpatches repository...
[06:21] <virtuosoj> installed ubuntu-restricted-extras, unity-tweak-tool, redshift
[06:21] <SkepticalParrot> "W: GPG error: http://www.fbriere.net stable InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 479C9B0FD0E6E19C NO_PUBKEY 0E5C626294C4644D"
[06:21] <daftykins> i don't know what redshift is to know if it could have had a hand, but if it was working before then... the evidence is there
[06:22] <SkepticalParrot> Is there a way around this?
[06:22] <CalebW> It's going to kill my OS
[06:22] <daftykins> yeah, install that key...
[06:22] <daftykins> CalebW: so run "sudo apt update" from the terminal and if there are errors, put them in http://paste.ubuntu.com and link it
[06:22] <virtuosoj> alright I guess I'll just try rebooting and seeing if this persists
[06:23] <daftykins> !info redshift
[06:23] <daftykins> oh that'd definitely have the potential to break some eggs.
[06:23] <CalebW> There are no errors
[06:23] <daftykins> CalebW: ok, now "sudo apt dist-upgrade"
[06:24] <virtuosoj> Ok rebooted and reloggined in, same problem persists. never encountered this before
[06:25] <CalebW> http://paste.ubuntu.com/15355783/
[06:25] <daftykins> virtuosoj: sudo apt-get purge redshift && sudo shutdown -r 0
[06:25] <virtuosoj> k...
[06:26] <daftykins> CalebW: wow you've screwed that one up big time
[06:26] <daftykins> CalebW: are you using standard ubuntu with unity?
[06:26] <CalebW> I think I'm using a different DE
[06:26] <CalebW> But I've been using this forever and had no problems
[06:27] <CalebW> But it's Ubuntu 14.04
[06:27] <daftykins> which one then...
[06:27] <virtuosoj> daftykins: so this is just going to make me reboot again? I somehow don't think redshift is the problem, I think I caused this with unity tweak tool in one way or another
[06:27] <virtuosoj> although I really didnt do much
[06:27] <daftykins> your paste there wants to remove everything practically, this isn't good
[06:27] <CalebW> let me log out and check
[06:27] <CalebW> I know. I don't know what happened
[06:27] <virtuosoj> tbh I have had buggy unity before, and it was another time I tried to install with a separate home partition. Could this somehow be an issue? I did that this time
[06:27] <daftykins> virtuosoj: test with the guest session then - surprisingly i can only come up with other ideas when just like then, you provide more info as to what you've done to screw this machine up :)
[06:27] <virtuosoj> But on installs where / and /home are on the same partition it wasnt buggy
[06:28] <virtuosoj> k
[06:29] <CalebW> I'm using GNOME flashback compiz
[06:29] <daftykins> so the top and bottom panels, top one has "apps, places, system" as menus on the left?
[06:29] <SkepticalParrot> Ok... tried installing the key signature...
[06:29] <CalebW> I prefer the older style de instead of the unity crap that came default
[06:29] <SkepticalParrot> and got another error message...
[06:29] <virtuosoj> daftykins, guest session works as intended!
[06:29] <daftykins> virtuosoj: yeah so you screwed up your config
[06:29] <SkepticalParrot> wget -q -O- 'http://pool.sks-keyservers.net/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x96B4BF71E4D7FB01' | sudo apt-key add -
[06:29] <SkepticalParrot> -_-
[06:30] <SkepticalParrot> W: There is no public key available for the following key IDs:
[06:30] <virtuosoj> daftykins, ok. this should be an easy .txt file delete right?
[06:30] <daftykins> !paste | SkepticalParrot
[06:30] <daftykins> virtuosoj: no it'll be a dot folder rename to get defaults back, look in ~/.config for unity related folders - then "mv foldername foldername-old" before logout + in / reboot
[06:31] <virtuosoj> ty
[06:31] <virtuosoj> brb I'll tell you how it goes
[06:31] <Mia> Hey all
[06:31] <daftykins> hi
[06:31] <Mia> my ubuntu boots, but it takes like 5 minutes
[06:31] <Mia> and I se a lot of "ata1.00: status {drdy err}"
[06:31] <daftykins> bad sata cable or device on the ATA bus
[06:31] <SkepticalParrot> So... I'm not sure what to do next.
[06:31] <SkepticalParrot> I added the repository.
[06:32] <daftykins> !ppa | SkepticalParrot
[06:32] <SkepticalParrot> I installed the key... and yet... I have no success.
[06:32] <daftykins> no you did not install the key
[06:32] <daftykins> note the part where it said "warning - no key found for the following key IDs"
[06:32] <Mia> daftykins, oh you mean that to me ?
[06:32] <Mia> bad sata cable ?
[06:33] <daftykins> yes
[06:33] <CalebW> screenshot of desktop in base 64 http://paste.ubuntu.com/15355811/
[06:33] <vdevnull> is there anyway to run sudo for one time and run commands normally
[06:33] <Mia> daftykins, it's default macbook stuff
[06:33] <vdevnull> rather than adding "sudo" in each command?
[06:33] <daftykins> "sudo -i"
[06:34] <Mia> I mean is this definitely about sata cable
[06:34] <daftykins> you would have to provide your dmesg to understand further
[06:34] <daftykins> Mia: ^
[06:34] <Mia> how can I do that?
[06:34] <Mia> it's logged somewhere right?
[06:34] <Mia> I can just pastebin the logs
[06:35] <daftykins> "sudo apt install pastebinit && dmesg > ~/mydmesg ** pastebinit ~/mydmesg"
[06:35] <daftykins> oops i typo'd my second set of ampersands
[06:35] <daftykins> "sudo apt install pastebinit && dmesg > ~/mydmesg && pastebinit ~/mydmesg"
[06:35] <CalebW> Is that for me?
[06:36] <daftykins> no.
[06:36] <daftykins> surprisingly your image as text was useless
[06:36] <CalebW> Why?
[06:36] <daftykins> imgur.com would be a good alternative
[06:36] <CalebW> Alright
[06:36] <daftykins> generally when you're getting free help you don't make people work to help you
[06:36] <BoycottAmazon> hello
[06:36] <CalebW> I didn't want to spend 20 minutes trying to find a place to upload my pic
[06:37] <daftykins> asking would've reduced that to 0.25 minutes
[06:37] <CalebW> Ok, I'm sorry
[06:38] <Mia> daftykins, paste.ubuntu.com/15355829
[06:38] <CalebW> I'm really stuck though. Is there any way I can fix this without reinstalling ubuntu?
[06:38] <virtuosoj> :(  not working
[06:39] <Mia> does this help daftykins
[06:39] <virtuosoj> I tried "unity tweak tool --reset-unity" which prompted me to completely reset defaults in terminal, but that did nothing
[06:39] <virtuosoj> is there a way for me to reinstall unity?
[06:40] <virtuosoj> or should I reinstall OS to be safe
[06:41] <daftykins> Mia: hmm "sudo apt install smartmontools && sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit"
[06:42] <Mia> daftykins, paste.ubuntu.com/15355842
[06:42] <virtuosoj> I'm going to try this "sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop"
[06:42] <daftykins> virtuosoj: no that's stupid
[06:43] <virtuosoj> really? ok
[06:43] <daftykins> virtuosoj: shotgun approach then, just rename .config to .configold and reboot.
[06:43] <virtuosoj> "rm -rf ~/.config"
[06:43] <virtuosoj> ok I  will do that
[06:43] <daftykins> Mia: ah an SSD
[06:44] <virtuosoj> here goes nothing.
[06:44] <virtuosoj> bbl
[06:44] <daftykins> Mia: is your SSD on the latest firmware?
[06:44] <daftykins> oh dear sector errors
[06:44] <Mia> daftykins, hmm how can I upgrade it
[06:45] <Mia> I'm pretty new at this kind of stuff, sector errors?
[06:45] <bluefive> I'm the proud owner of a new MSI Cubi with the i3 5005U which features AES-NI. This is really going to run well on my home dir encryption install of Ubuntu, using ecryptfs.
[06:45] <daftykins> Mia: i think it's pretty screwed.
[06:45] <Mia> oh ssd ?
[06:45] <daftykins> yeah
[06:45] <Mia> hm how do you see it
[06:45] <daftykins> see what?
[06:46] <Mia> how do you understand that it's messed up
[06:46] <Mia> because I bought it yesterday
[06:46] <Mia> and I'll have to return it and I'll have to show thme thee
[06:46] <Mia> *there
[06:46] <daftykins> hang on let me do some digging
[06:46] <Mia> otherwise they'll just want to send t to the official factory for check and it'll take like 5 months
[06:46] <Mia> okay, thank you very much!
[06:47] <virtuosoj> daftykins, it worked :)
[06:47] <virtuosoj> ty
[06:47] <daftykins> hmm it's already on the latest firmware so that's not it
[06:47] <daftykins> perhaps i've picked the wrong ATA device, lets see
[06:48] <daftykins> Mia: do you have an optical drive in your mac? (CD/DVD)
[06:48] <Mia> daftykins, yes I do
[06:48] <Mia> it's a macbok 2009 (mid)
[06:48] <Mia> or, 5.5
[06:49] <daftykins> was it slow when you booted the flash drive to install from too?
[06:49] <Mia> daftykins, no from usb stick it boots the ubuntu pretty fast
[06:50] <Mia> from the installed hard dirve it takes around 8 minutes
[06:50] <Mia> (full oferror mesages)
[06:50] <Mia> that logs I sent you actually, a part of that I can see as it happens
[06:50] <virtuosoj> is it recommended to download extra compiz plugins? or just leave compiz at defaults with Ubuntu
[06:51] <daftykins> Mia: i think there might be an incompatibility there, i'd personally return the drive and pick another - OCZ really aren't a strong player on the market
[06:51] <xanax`> hello
[06:51] <Mia> hmm okay I'll do that in this case
[06:52] <Mia> daftykins, is this incompadibility about ubuntu ?
[06:52] <Mia> or is it about my macbook ?
[06:52] <daftykins> the SSD and your mac possibly, but also possibly the Linux kernel and those two combined
[06:52] <daftykins> 3.160374] ata1.00: ATA-9: OCZ-TRION100, SAFM11.2, max UDMA/133
[06:53] <daftykins> [    3.160377] ata1.00: 234441648 sectors, multi 16: LBA48 NCQ (depth 31/32)
[06:53] <daftykins> there we go, that confirms that the OCZ SSD is device 1 and that's the one stalling the boot
[06:53] <Mia> hmm
[06:54] <Mia> and that keeps repeating, that also confirms the same right
[06:54] <Mia> I mean when Iopen my laptop there and showcase them what's wrong I have to at least point something
[06:54] <Mia> THank you for all your help and time by the way
[06:54] <daftykins> Mia: yeah or just say the sector errors spam
[06:54] <Mia> okay
[06:55] <Mia> thank you very much
[06:55] <daftykins> drive's already on the 11.2 firmware so it can't be updated
[06:55] <daftykins> np :)
[06:55] <virtuosoj> daftykins, the real mvp of tonite
[06:55] <Mia> :)
[06:56] <daftykins> \o/
[06:57] <daftykins> been here so long it's 7am my time
[06:58] <virtuosoj> do you know how to install a font?
[06:58] <virtuosoj> trying to rice unity now
[06:59] <daftykins> lawl
[06:59] <daftykins> nah i only care about the big goals to be honest
[06:59] <daftykins> and i don't use desktop
[06:59] <virtuosoj> you use server?
[07:00] <daftykins> servers, yep
[07:01] <xanax`> is it still possible to install ubuntu with Wubi ?
[07:01] <virtuosoj> cool. IT professional?
[07:02] <vdevnull> I've installed a package and i want remove it with all created folder
[07:02] <vdevnull> apt-get remove ..
[07:03] <vdevnull> is it the right command?
[07:04] <soupnanodesukar> !version libqt5gui5 xenial
[07:04] <baizon> vdevnull: apt-get remove --purge packagename
[07:04] <baizon> vdevnull: http://askubuntu.com/questions/231562/what-is-the-difference-between-apt-get-purge-and-apt-get-remove
[07:05] <soupnanodesukar> Are the qt5 libs updated in xenial?
[07:05] <baizon> soupnanodesukar: #ubuntu+q
[07:05] <baizon> soupnanodesukar: #ubuntu+1
[07:05] <soupnanodesukar> ok, i'll ask there
[07:06] <Mia> daftykins, one question though
[07:06] <vdevnull> baizon
[07:06] <vdevnull> thanks bro
[07:06] <Mia> I installed fedora on my ssd --- to test yesterday, if the issue ws solely ubuntu related
[07:06] <soupnanodesukar> oh btw, ubottu's dev page is down http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki
[07:06] <Mia> and it was working fine
[07:06] <Mia> boot time was also pretty slow, around 4 minutes, but it was working overall
[07:06] <Mia> no error messages (maybe splash was hiding it i don't know)
[07:08] <daftykins> Mia: yeah i bet it had the same ones going on, just maybe resolved sooner by pure chance
[07:09] <daftykins> Mia: easiest test would be checking out OS X on there, else the #1 thing they ask to do when fault finding SSDs is to do a secure erase
[07:10] <Mia> okay
[07:10] <Mia> also I found this device
[07:10] <Mia> http://www.vatanbilgisayar.com/sandisk-120gb-plus-sata-3-0-ssd-okuma-520mb-yazma-180mb-.html?srt=UP
[07:11] <Mia> daftykins, 180mb write speed, is that bad
[07:11] <Mia> because this is pretty cheap compared to others
[07:11] <daftykins> yes
[07:11] <Mia> around 30usd
[07:11] <daftykins> where in the world are you? it'd help what suggestions i could make
[07:11] <Mia> turkey
[07:11] <Mia> http://www.vatanbilgisayar.com/solid-state-disk/?opf=p2085783,p2085791&srt=UP
[07:11] <Mia> these are my options
[07:12] <Mia> and mine was that 177 one in the first row, ocz
[07:12] <daftykins> so you don't want to spend much morethan that i take it?
[07:13] <Mia> well I went in to buy the sandisk, but I was told that maybe the write speed is too slow
[07:13] <Mia> so they suggested ocz
[07:14] <Mia> I mean depends on how higher I need to go for sure
[07:14] <daftykins> the choices there aren't really the best
[07:14] <Mia> what would you suggest
[07:14] <Mia> hmm
[07:14] <daftykins> at the same price i mean
[07:14] <Mia> what if I can pay more
[07:15] <daftykins> the samsung 850 EVO would be good
[07:15] <Mia> hmm
[07:15] <Mia> ok maybe I should buty that one
[07:15] <Mia> eventhough it's double price O_O
[07:15] <daftykins> 177 -> 229 ?
[07:16] <Mia> no actually I went int to buy the sandisk
[07:16] <daftykins> 120GB wouldn't be a huge amount though if you store a lot of media, like video or pictures
[07:16] <Mia> so 119 ---> 229
[07:16] <Mia> no it's just for experimenting
[07:16] <Mia> I want to make use of this old macbook that's the only main reason
[07:16] <daftykins> ah ok
[07:16] <Mia> so I wanted to go as cheap (but for sure solid) as possible
[07:16] <daftykins> you know the fault could be on the other end, so perhaps it's worth testing in the shop if you can
[07:16] <Mia> that's why I was thinking to get the sandisk
[07:16] <Mia> okay
[07:18] <TestHamster> umm
[07:18] <TestHamster> can some1 help
[07:18] <daftykins> not until you describe a problem
[07:18] <TestHamster> my comp logs me out
[07:18] <TestHamster> after sleep
[07:19] <daftykins> so on resume you have to enter a password - and no programs are open anymore?
[07:20] <TestHamster> no it comes to login menu
[07:20] <daftykins> right which would be where a password would be entered
[07:20] <TestHamster> ie session and my desktop is lost
[07:20] <TestHamster> i know
[07:20] <daftykins> put "free -m" in http://paste.ubuntu.com and share the link
[07:22] <TestHamster> its all free
[07:23] <TestHamster> 10% use
[07:23] <daftykins> i want to see it, i don't want your interpretation of it.
[07:23] <daftykins> you don't know what i'm checking
[07:23] <TestHamster> Mem:         16039       1241      14797          0         58        530

[07:24] <daftykins> do you maybe not speak english?
[07:24] <TestHamster> wow
[07:24] <daftykins> that was my thought
[07:24] <TestHamster> this is a text protocol
[07:24] <TestHamster> have u lost ur mind
[07:25] <vdevnull> lol
[07:25] <vdevnull> TestHamster
[07:25] <TestHamster> ur telling me to paint u a painting of my ram usage
[07:25] <vdevnull> behave..
[07:25] <vdevnull> he's trying to help u
[07:25] <TestHamster> what kind of pills r u on?
[07:25] <daftykins> and he's done now because this user is an idiot who can't follow instructions
[07:25] <TestHamster> i dont need that kind of help
[07:26] <TestHamster> at that rate i can buy a new mobo
[07:26] <TestHamster> thx daftykins,
[07:35] <bluefive> HELLO.
[07:35] <bluefive> Is my CPU going to run hotter if I have enabled home folder ecryptfs encryption?
[07:36] <daftykins> during times of high IO, sure - if you are not using a hardware capable device anywhere in the chain
[07:37] <bluefive> daftykins: What if my CPU has AES-NI?
[07:41] <DanShark> hi, invalid operands to binary ^ (have 'int *' and 'int *')
[07:41] <DanShark> why ?
[07:41] <daftykins> bluefive: you'd have to check out the different encryption schemes and see if they work with such hardware assistance
[07:48] <asuraphel> is it okay to ask bash related question?
[07:49] <daftykins> better in #bash
[07:50] <bluefive> daftykins: They all do.
[07:50] <bluefive> How can you not know that?
[07:50] <bluefive> AES-NI is extremely popular.
[07:56] <daftykins> bluefive: you're wrong.
[07:56] <daftykins> there are different non-AES based algorithms
[07:56] <daftykins> i suggest you try looking something up by yourself
[07:57] <bluefive> daftykins: AES is by far the fastest even without AES-NI.
[07:57] <bluefive> This is why it is so popular.
[07:57] <bluefive> You want incredible cipher strength, which AES provides, but you don't want performance hits.
[07:57] <bluefive> And with AES-NI on board Intel's CPUs, it is LEAGUES away from the competition.
[07:57] <bluefive> It isn't even close.
[07:58] <daftykins> excellent impression of a marketing team, but this is not what i'm getting at - not sure what you don't follow
[07:59] <xangua> Wow how many days has it been with the same?
[08:00] <bluefive> daftykins: I follow perfectly fine. LUKS and ecryptfs both take full advantage of Intel's advanced AES-NI technology.
[08:00] <daftykins> xangua: this guy a regular?
[08:00] <xangua> daftykins: well maybe not days, but all day
[08:01] <daftykins> mmm sounds like a walking salesman, i've ignored
[08:06] <bluefive> If you haven't got an AES-NI CPU and you aren't right now in the position to procure one then I suppose my words could trigger a sense of inadequacy or outright anger.
[08:06] <soupnanodesukar> bluehive: "What if my CPU has AES-NI?" That shouldn't matter. If you are serious about security, you would be very hesitant about using any specialized on-board instructions for encryption provided by a cpu vendor, especially if that cpu vendor runs a mini-os inside its cpu.
[08:07] <bluefive> soupnanodesukar: That is what someone in ##security suggested.
[08:07] <bluefive> You think there is reason to doubt the integrity of Intel in this instance?
[08:07] <soupnanodesukar> I'm sure your familiar with Linus' refusal to use intel's rng opcode, and the reasons why you shouldn't be trusting hardware.
[08:07] <soupnanodesukar> *you're
[08:09] <TestHamster> ppl either get it or dont
[08:10] <bluefive> soupnanodesukar: You suspect that Intel is in cahoots with the entities who print our money who are working toward a global world order and who consider one of the most significant symbols to be the pyramid crowned by the all-seeing eye?
[08:10] <soupnanodesukar> that's overstating it
[08:10] <TestHamster> look man ive seen all kinds of ppl mistaking that
[08:12] <bluefive> soupnanodesukar: If they have unlimited money and power at their disposal, then it is quite reasonable that they would have Intel working for them.
[08:12] <bluefive> soupnanodesukar: Do you think this is again overstating it?
[08:12] <TestHamster> id say ya
[08:12] <soupnanodesukar> bluefive: they don't even need that, see the PATRIOT act.
[08:12] <TestHamster> computers have a sway

[08:13] <bluefive> soupnanodesukar: See you in OFFTOPIC. I want to ask you something.
[08:15] <vinod> Hi.. I am new to linux, and got Ubuntu 14.04 installed. I tried to play a VCD and I got this error. Kindly help "The playback of this movie requires a VCD protocol source plugin which is not installed."
[08:15] <daftykins> soupnanodesukar: best not to enable such types
[08:15] <daftykins> vinod: install VLC perhaps
[08:17] <soupnanodesukar> vinod: try mpv https://mpv.io/installation/
[08:18] <bluefive> I was talking with someone today about TrueCrypt. He thought it reasonable to presume TrueCrypt was considered a threat by some of the big agencies.
[08:18] <bluefive> I forget what else he said.
[08:18] <bluefive> But in essence, he felt there was a conspiracy and that TrueCrypt was not insecure but was rather too secure.
[08:19] <bluefive> I thought I was in OFFTOPIC.
[08:19] <bluefive> Apologies.
[08:20] <vinod> when i try to copy the file .dat to my folder it says " Input/output error" soupnanodesukar
[08:20] <daftykins> off optical media? yeah don't do that.
[08:21] <daftykins> just installing VLC will be the easiest.
[08:21] <vinod> i have VLC in another OS, but didn't work :(
[08:21] <vinod> i even tried xine and various others like mplayer and what not, still it didn't work
[08:21] <daftykins> installing ubuntu-restricted-extras might help
[08:21] <xangua> vinod: by vcd you mean DVD?
[08:21] <soupnanodesukar> vinod: Have you tried mpv? mplayer is outdated.
[08:22] <vinod> yeah xangua ,
[08:23] <vinod> I got charlie chaplin videos which I tried to play it, but not working :-(
[08:23] <daftykins> VCD is not DVD
[08:23] <vinod> i'm trying to download mpv..
[08:23] <soupnanodesukar> vinod: use the ppa, the version in 14.04 is quite old.
[08:24] <vinod> it says Video CD daftykins  I got both
[08:24] <vinod> ok will check
[08:24] <cr0xxx> Hi people! I am a newbie and trying to install ubuntu in my laptop with windows 10 installed. I'm trying to have a dual boot system. I installed ubuntu through bootable usb but am not getting the boot menu to switch to ubuntu. Windows 10 boots automatically. Need Help!
[08:24] <daftykins> 'got both' ? i'm saying DVDs are totally different :)
[08:24] <daftykins> cr0xxx: what kind of computer? did it come with 10?
[08:24] <vinod> I meant I got CD as well as DVD
[08:25] <vinod> kindly share the steps for ppa installation soupnanodesukar
[08:26] <vinod> I am trying https://launchpad.net/~djcj/+archive/ubuntu/vapoursynthhttps://launchpad.net/~djcj/+archive/ubuntu/vapoursynth
[08:26] <soupnanodesukar> cr0xxx: boot into your bios settings and either (1) change the boot type to legacy or (2) change the boot partition (advanced bios' only)
[08:27] <cr0xxx> daftykins, nope i installed windows 10 later, it came with windows 8
[08:27] <soupnanodesukar> vinod: add-apt-repository > apt-get update > apt-get install
[08:27] <cr0xxx> i have tried boot-repair but nothing's changed
[08:27] <daftykins> cr0xxx: don't follow soupnanodesukar advice, it's terrible
[08:27] <vinod> thanks
[08:27] <soupnanodesukar> :-(
[08:28] <daftykins> cr0xxx: are you shutting down 10 properly? best way is windows key (super) +R -> shutdown -s -t 1
[08:28] <daftykins> cr0xxx: so what kind is it?
[08:28] <cr0xxx> i have already tried making boot as legacy only, but then i don't even get windows it just says not able to find any OS on the disk
[08:28] <daftykins> yes because Windows is installed EFI and you must install ubuntu as EFI too
[08:29] <cr0xxx> i have stopped windows fast startup option, and shutting down windows properly , daftykins
[08:29] <daftykins> cr0xxx: and what's the brand of the system? #3 time asking now
[08:29] <cr0xxx> its HP
[08:30] <jushur> cr0xxx: you cant just dualboot with windows10, you need to plan for it. and not run windows in full uefi protected mode. basicly you will not be able to dualbot unless you reinstall windows10 with "secure boot" disabled.
[08:30] <cr0xxx> i've also tried doing this" bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\grubsx64.efi"
[08:31] <cr0xxx> jushur, isn't there a way to disable secure boot now ?
[08:31] <daftykins> cr0xxx: no that's a mistake, you should have a boot menu key that lists available boot devices, likely a function key, F8, F9 or F10 on HPs usually
[08:32] <daftykins> jushur: that is also complete rubbish, don't mislead users.
[08:32] <cr0xxx> daftykins, not getting any boot menu, tried all the function keys
[08:32] <bray90820> Can someone help me here This script doesn't seem to work correctly it doesn't seem to take in account how may folders you have it if I reverse the logical operator it doesn't seen to work at all
[08:32] <bray90820> if ((dir > 30)); then rmdir 01; fi
[08:33] <daftykins> cr0xxx: can you enter the BIOS fine with F2 or delete?
[08:33] <cr0xxx> i enter the bios using esc then f10
[08:34] <daftykins> alright and have you seen anything on the boot or exit pages listing your devices? like your flash drive type twice, once with EFI beside it and once without
[08:34] <soupnanodesukar> bray90820: comparisons in bash do not work like C. Use the bash test operator instead: if [$dir -gt 30]
[08:34] <bray90820> soupnanodesukar: what does the -gt mean?
[08:35] <soupnanodesukar> bray90820: greater than
[08:35] <bray90820> and I would do -lt for less then?
[08:35] <soupnanodesukar> yes
[08:35] <bray90820> THANK YOU
[08:35] <bray90820> I have been hitting my head against the wall for 3 hours
[08:35] <soupnanodesukar> np
[08:35] <bray90820> Or bashing my head agents the wall
[08:35] <bray90820> haha
[08:35] <cr0xxx> daftykins, yeah esc then f9 , but nothing happens if i select the efi option, except for some blue screen
[08:36] <daftykins> cr0xxx: then you didn't prepare your drive right by the sounds - what image did you downloadand how did you prepare it?
[08:36] <cr0xxx> daftykins : used unetbootin
[08:37] <cr0xxx> daftykins, usb boots the live version quite well
[08:37] <daftykins> with an initial menu of colour with a logo at the bottom? or white text on a black background?
[08:38] <cr0xxx> no logo, daftykins
[08:38] <daftykins> so text or not? sometimes it's not visible
[08:39] <ToAruShiroiNeko> bray90820 I do not think that is how walls work
[08:39] <daftykins> it doesn't matter if you can boot the drive in legacy mode, because that's not going to work for you.
[08:39] <cr0xxx> there's a header that says EFI Boot something, and there's a thick bar at the bottom
[08:40] <bray90820> soupnanodesukar: if [$dir -gt 30]; then echo more then 30; fi [30: command not found
[08:40] <cr0xxx> should i try by disabling secure boot ? daftykins
[08:41] <daftykins> it would have to be white text on a black background - can you answer that?
[08:41] <cr0xxx> yeah it is like that
[08:41] <daftykins> looks like this http://i.stack.imgur.com/rL6Jh.jpg
[08:42] <cr0xxx> the image you sent me, yeah i get this when i use the bootable USB , daftykins
[08:42] <daftykins> so you need to resize your Windows install first to make space for ubuntu
[08:42] <daftykins> this is better done from inside Windows really
[08:43] <cr0xxx> already did the whole thing, installed ubuntu
[08:43] <cr0xxx> i am  not getting the grub menu after installation
[08:43] <daftykins> ah yeah sorry, my mistake
[08:43] <cr0xxx> windows get booted directly
[08:43] <daftykins> enter the BIOS instead then and poke around for boot options
[08:44] <daftykins> ideally you want to find something that says "Windows Boot Manager" and change it tothe name of the hard disk / SSD instead
[08:44] <beepbopboopbop> I need help
[08:44] <cr0xxx> daftykins, ok let me try that, will be back in few minutes
[08:44] <jushur> !ask | beepbopboopbop
[08:45] <beepbopboopbop> I just installed Ubuntu and have to clue what I'm doing, and my wired connection is not connecting.
[08:48] <daftykins> beepbopboopbop: open the terminal application and run "lspci | grep -i net" to identify the hardware
[08:48] <anurag1018> can I run Tally on ubuntu?
[08:48] <daftykins> !info tally
[08:48] <daftykins> what is it?
[08:49] <beepbopboopbop> Okay, I did that daftykins
[08:49] <daftykins> beepbopboopbop: so what is it... or can i guess? my first letter will be... e.
[08:50] <bray90820> soupnanodesukar: if [$dir -gt 30]; then echo more then 30; fi [30: command not found
[08:50] <anurag1018> tally is a business accounting software
[08:50] <daftykins> anurag1018: on Windows?
[08:50] <anurag1018> yes on windows
[08:50] <beepbopboopbop> Ethernet controller: Realtek semiconductor. And another line of CI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller
[08:50] <bray90820> soupnanodesukar: the command I wanna do is "if [$dir -gt 30]; then echo more then 30; fi"
[08:51] <daftykins> anurag1018: you're better off trying to find a native program, otherwise consult the wine app database
[08:51] <daftykins> !appdb | anurag1018
[08:51] <soupnanodesukar> bray90820: do it like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/15356304/
[08:52] <daftykins> beepbopboopbop: if you type "ifconfig -a" do you see only one entry, "lo" or do you see any others?
[08:53] <beepbopboopbop> daftykins: There is eth0 and lo
[08:53] <cr0xxx> daftykins, nope can't do that, just change the order, have the option of OS Boot mgr, with other options od USB, CD, Network etc, can just change the order
[08:53] <bray90820> soupnanodesukar: Thank you that worked perfectly
[08:54] <daftykins> beepbopboopbop: ok so do you maybe have two wired network adapters in this system?
[08:54] <daftykins> cr0xxx: there might be another menu item that lets you pick the 'hard disk' order; if you could take pics of every page of the BIOS and throw them on imgur.com that'd be handy
[08:55] <cr0xxx> ok, I'll try
[08:55] <beepbopboopbop> daftykins: I have just one
[08:56] <daftykins> beepbopboopbop: ok so type "sudo dhclient eth0"
[08:58] <beepbopboopbop> daftykins: I did that, it asked for a password and is doing nothing now
[08:58] <daftykins> after entering it and pressing enter?
[08:58] <beepbopboopbop> Yeah
[08:59] <beepbopboopbop> Should I restart the terminal and try again?
[08:59] <daftykins> this is gonna sound really dumb, but make sure both cable ends are firmly into their respective devices, then reboot the computer.
[09:00] <anurag1018> I have dual booted ubuntu with windows and now when I'm trying to access the drives in ubuntu this is the error im getting:Error mounting /dev/sda7 at /media/anurag1018/New Volume: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o
[09:00] <bray90820> soupnanodesukar: it still says more then 30 if there are less then 30
[09:00] <beepbopboopbop> They were both plugged in all the way, restarting anyways
[09:01] <daftykins> anurag1018: tell us the command you're trying to run
[09:02] <anurag1018> im not running any program just clicking on the drives
[09:02] <daftykins> right, throw "mount" into a http://paste.ubuntu.com to share
[09:02] <bray90820> soupnanodesukar: What I want it to check of there are more then 30 directories and output there are more then 30 directories if there are more then 30
[09:03] <beepbopboopbop> Made sure everything was plugged in and restarted computer, still not connecting
[09:03] <daftykins> *than *than *than
[09:03] <ghabit> anurag1018, yup, show us mount -a output
[09:03] <daftykins> no, not -a
[09:03] <soupnanodesukar> bray90820: hmm, sounds like bash may be using string comparisons instead of numeric, ergo "9" > "30" lexicographically.
[09:05] <bray90820> soupnanodesukar: so what should I do
[09:05] <adm1n> hello
[09:05] <adm1n> !ops
[09:05] <adm1n> !admin
[09:05] <adm1n> I need help
[09:05] <adm1n> this is an EMERGENCY
[09:06] <Myrtti> oh¿
[09:06] <adm1n> I need to know the truth
[09:06] <adm1n> WHERE IS J. CALVIN JONES BURIED?
[09:06] <soupnanodesukar> bray90820: see if you can use python instead, it'll be much easier on you.
[09:06] <adm1n> sorry
[09:06] <adm1n> I did not mean to use all caps
[09:07] <adm1n> I just need to decrypt our backup of the mission critical NSAJ database
[09:07] <adm1n> and our dumb intern, she never changed the script in the backup app
[09:07] <bray90820> soupnanodesukar: I aim creating a backup script for my home server and do not know python at all
[09:08] <adm1n> so it kept using the public key of our founder to encrypt all backups
[09:08] <adm1n> and yesterday we were raided by the NAA
[09:08] <adm1n> i mean NSA
[09:08] <daftykins> Myrtti: i think more medicine is required
[09:08] <adm1n> thank heavens the Emergency Drive Degaussing System detected the breach, but now....
[09:08] <adm1n> we need to get the key
[09:10] <beepbopboopbop> How do I Uninstaller ubuntu, I want to try to redo the install
[09:10] <daftykins> it doesn't work that way
[09:11] <beepbopboopbop> Well damn, that's how I fix just about anything else.
[09:11] <daftykins> so what you're saying, is it worked in the live session - but not after install?
[09:11] <bray90820> soupnanodesukar: Where should I go from here then?
[09:12] <beepbopboopbop> When I had windows 7 installed before, it was working fine and when I was testing other versions of Linux it was fine, but with Ubuntu it is not connecting
[09:12] <daftykins> that doesn't help
[09:13] <beepbopboopbop> What will help?
[09:13] <daftykins> answering my above question
[09:14] <jushur> beepbopboopbop: i bet the kernel does not have the support for your hardware. try a never releae of ubuntu.
[09:14] <daftykins> that's rubbish
[09:15] <jushur> beepbopboopbop: what version is it you are trying to use?
[09:15] <beepbopboopbop> 14.04 I believe
[09:15] <EriC^^> Mia: can you type dmesg | nc termbin.com 9999 ?
[09:15]  * daftykins wonders if EriC^^ was scrolled up
[09:16] <beepbopboopbop> Yeah, it's 14.04.4
[09:16] <daftykins> beepbopboopbop: so again - does it work from the live session?
[09:16] <EriC^^> daftykins: nah, got a pm, suggested to talk here about it
[09:16] <Mia> EriC^^, I cna't right now, formatted and plugged out my ssd already
[09:16] <Mia> packaged it back
[09:16] <EriC^^> Mia: oh, ok
[09:16] <beepbopboopbop> The live is booting from a USB right? If so, so it does not work.
[09:17] <beepbopboopbop> Noķ
[09:17] <daftykins> EriC^^: i had one from earlier though
[09:17] <Mia> now installing the os to the old mac hard drive
[09:17] <Mia> formatted it
[09:17] <daftykins> EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15355829/
[09:17] <Mia> if it fails to work there as well maybe it's not a problem about ssd at all
[09:17] <Mia> so I'll check
[09:17] <EriC^^> daftykins: thanks
[09:17] <Mia> oh yes that one --- :)
[09:18] <Mia> thank you daftykins
[09:18] <daftykins> beepbopboopbop: funky, oh well - you could try the 16.04 beta
[09:18] <daftykins> i think the problem could be your router, though
[09:19] <beepbopboopbop> How do I get to 16.04? Download it on USB and then just install over?
[09:20] <daftykins> yes
[09:20] <beepbopboopbop> Ok thanks for the help
[09:27] <Mia> daftykins, yes it works now on regular hard disc without problems
[09:27] <Mia> maybe just a bit slow, and I get it
[09:27] <Mia> so the problem should be in the ssd
[09:27] <Mia> also cc EriC^^
[09:39] <Mia> how can I stop a slow apt-get update
[09:40] <Mia> should I just close the windows and terminate the terminal process ?
[09:40] <daftykins> get a better internet connection / change to a local mirror
[09:40] <daftykins> ctrl+c
[09:40] <Mia> ctrl c does notdo anything
[09:40] <Mia> weirdly
[09:40] <TestHamster> keep pressing it
[09:40] <daftykins> it will if it's the active window
[09:40] <daftykins> never seen it not stop that
[09:41] <Mia> hm weird
[09:41] <Mia> fn-c stopped it
[09:41] <Mia> looks like somehow my apple keyboard is mapped wrong
[09:41] <TestHamster> its fine
[09:41] <daftykins> yeah that's another standard with putting a Linux on a mac, think i mentioned it
[09:41] <daftykins> ah no maybe not today, i did say recently to someone else though
[09:43] <soupnanodesukar> bray90820: now is as good a time as any to learn especially if bash scripts are giving you grief http://paste.ubuntu.com/15356544/
[09:43] <Mia> hm I live in turkey and the default server was tr.archive.ubuntu.com
[09:43] <Mia> but I just realized afer changing it, it's not in the dropdown list for "turkey"
[09:47] <testing223> hi
[09:47] <testing223>  /init: 401: /init: touch, at boot time,why?
[09:48] <bray90820> soupnanodesukar: I think I will stick with bash
[09:49] <Hokuszpok> Halló
[09:50] <amethystgem> I am trying to change my open source radeon power management profile to 'dynpm', but nothing seems to work. sudo bash -c 'echo "profile" > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method' and echo "profile" | sudo tee /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method are both terminal options ive tried, but its an invalid argument. the folder and file exists. I can't edit directly with gedit either, even under nautilus
[09:51] <amethystgem> not using 'profile', using 'dynpm'. i copy-pasted examples from a page
[09:52] <jonascj> In the newest ubuntu versions (say 15 and maybe 16 beta) what is the required steps to run a 32bit application on the 64bit OS?
[09:53] <jonascj> Should something-multi-arch take care of it automatically, or do you need to install some 32bit libs?
[09:54] <EriC^^> jonascj: i think you just add the arch in dpkg, then do sudo apt-get install <program>:i386
[09:54] <EriC^^> and it'll pull in what it needs
[09:55] <jonascj> EriC^^: what it if it is just a 32bit blob from somewhere, then I should just install the dependencies myself (libc etc.) from :i386
[09:57] <EriC^^> jonascj: yeah
[09:59] <amethystgem> I've attempted sudo bash -c "echo \"dynpm\" > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method" from the community page now too, and it still doesn't work.
[10:05] <kubanc> how do I delete evolution in Ubuntu 15.10?
[10:06] <baizon> kubanc: http://askubuntu.com/questions/315640/how-do-i-completely-remove-evolution
[10:07] <kubanc> baizon, this in not for Ubuntu 15.10, because I do not have Synaptic package manager
[10:09] <amethystgem> using cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method gives me the current power method status for the open source radeon driver, but i still cant seem to change it
[10:14] <testing223> http://klink0v.livejournal.com/251441.html

[10:33] <kazuka> 16.04 is released?
[10:34] <baizon> kazuka: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
[10:34] <kazuka> ill wait
[10:34] <baizon> kazuka: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseSchedule
[10:36] <bobbie> can someone please tell me how to install the deb command to my command line terminal?
[10:36] <daftykins> "the deb command" - can you rephrase?
[10:36] <kazuka> dpkg -i package.deb
[10:36] <baizon> bobbie: http://askubuntu.com/questions/40779/how-do-i-install-a-deb-file-via-the-command-line
[10:36] <daftykins> you really should not install from .deb package files if you can help it.
[10:37] <bobbie> why is that?
[10:38] <daftykins> .deb's won't get updated after they're installed, packages in repos will
[10:40] <bobbie> ok
[10:49] <user1212121> Hey, not sure if it is offtopic, But I'm trying to seed Ubuntu torrent from mac, But it is not seeding, anyone familiar with transmission client? http://imgur.com/FRFWv69
[10:51] <Ben64> user1212121: probably nobody to seed to
[10:52] <iamabot> Does ubuntu come with a in-built network manager that supports VPN?
[10:54] <daftykins> yes
[10:54] <user1212121> Ben64: oh, that's sad, I've a 100mbps connection in India, I hope seeding will be beneficial for many.
[10:54] <daftykins> user1212121: you've not got the infected one, have you? 2.90 if i remember rightly
[10:55] <user1212121> daftykins: It is 3.92, downloaded just before 30 minutes.
[10:56] <daftykins> 2.92, good good - the 2.90 had malware
[10:56] <daftykins> standard torrent client rules apply, ensure you're picking a port >40,000 and that it's open on your router - but likely, as Ben64 said, nobody wants it!
[10:57] <Mika_> Hello. I'm maybe going to have a project to start install many linuxies to old PC's. So before i start to dig deeper on this. I would want to ask what is best way to install simultaneously let's say for 3-5 PC's a linux. We assume here that all computers are getting same distro? :)
[10:57] <Mika_> I haven't done that ever so thats why just getting tips ;)
[10:57] <daftykins> a stack of flash drives - or network boot
[10:57] <Mika_> total amount of PC's will be hundreds and hundreds xD
[10:58] <daftykins> or drive cloning followed by hostname change + key change
[10:59] <user1212121> daftykins: port is 51412, It shows open one.
[10:59] <Mika_> daftykins: hmm, yeah i think network boot would be the way to go here...hmmm
[11:00] <Ben64> user1212121: theres likely many many times more seeders with much more bandwidth available than people leeching, don't worry about it
[11:01] <user1212121> Ben64: oh, may be that's the reason. I'm going to leave it like this for a day and see what gonna happen. thanks for the help.
[11:01] <user1212121> Ben64: are you work for canonical?
[11:03] <daftykins> user1212121: you can jump on 16.04 when it releases though, that'll need help
[11:04] <user1212121> daftykins: Sure, will do.
[11:05] <atralheaven> hello, I restored grub after installing windows and now I can boot to linux, but I don't have windows listed on bootloader!
[11:06] <daftykins> windows 8 or 10?
[11:18] <oquidave> hello, am trying to connect to a remote box via sftp using filezilla. When i attempt to add my private key, it gives me a prompt; "The file '/home/oquidave/.ssh/id_rsa' is not in a format supported by FileZilla.Would you like to convert it into a supported format". When I say yes, it instead brings up the file system browser again and never adds the key. Anyone encountered this problem before?
[11:21] <Ben64> oquidave: what do you mean by add your private key
[11:24] <hil> oquidave, did you read this? https://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Howto
[11:26] <cool06> hi all
[11:26] <cool06> my apt-get update got stucked and its very slow how to resolve this.?
[11:26] <fennesz> Hello everyone ! I am trying to install lubuntu on a asus netbook with win7 starter. When I choose to install lubuntu inside win7 , the system reboots and boots into windows . Am I missing something?
[11:26] <daftykins> change mirrors
[11:27] <cool06> fennesz whiile booting u have to choose the grub to get into ubuntu
[11:27] <daftykins> lol.
[11:27] <fennesz> cool06, there is no grub loaded though
[11:27] <cool06> daftykins from my other machine its working fine...
[11:27] <atralheaven> daftykins: 8.1
[11:27] <daftykins> cool06: right and you know they're on the same mirror huh?
[11:28] <fennesz> cool06, i pressed installed inside win7 and it immediately rebooted the system .. to win7
[11:28] <daftykins> atralheaven: i'd be willing to bet you have 8 installed in EFI mode but you booted and installed ubuntu in legacy, so they're incompatible now
[11:28] <daftykins> fennesz: you weren't running the installer from inside Windows, right? WUBI?
[11:28] <fennesz> daftykins, no I am running it from usb
[11:28] <cool06> daftykins yeah i checked the /etc/apt/sources.list file
[11:29] <daftykins> fennesz: good stuff. did you make space by resizing Windows first?
[11:29] <atralheaven> daftykins: how can I check to be sure?
[11:29] <hil> oquidave, tra to set SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/home/username/.ssh/id_rsa
[11:29] <fennesz> daftykins, no cause I was thinking the installer would do this for me
[11:30] <daftykins> atralheaven: when you booted the flash drive of ubuntu, did you see white text on a black background - or a little logo at the bottom on a purple screen?
[11:30] <fennesz> shall I choose "something else" on the installer?
[11:30] <atralheaven> daftykins: white text...
[11:30] <daftykins> fennesz: i don't think it'll change much for you
[11:30] <cool06> fennesz -> http://www.pcworld.com/article/2142325/install-ubuntu-and-keep-windows.html i am using as alongside lubuntu
[11:31] <daftykins> atralheaven: mmm, boot into ubuntu then and run a "sudo parted -l"
[11:32] <fennesz> cool06, this is with wubi right?
[11:33] <daftykins> fennesz: read just a few lines further...
[11:33] <daftykins> WUBI should indeed be totally ignored
[11:33] <atralheaven> daftykins: im on linux now, "[ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS" command output is "BIOS"
[11:33] <daftykins> atralheaven: and the above command in a paste.ubuntu.com ?
[11:38] <atralheaven> daftykins: http://hastebin.com/oloyosujan
[11:39] <daftykins> Windows at the end o0
[11:40] <daftykins> atralheaven: and "sudo fdisk -l" ?
[11:40] <selenuix> Hi!
[11:40] <selenuix> How can I download Ubuntu 16.04 Alpha or Beta ?
[11:40] <daftykins> by googling it
[11:41] <daftykins> or joining #ubuntu+1
[11:41] <selenuix> I use raspberry pi and I want know if Ubuntu 16.04 will be available on it
[11:41] <daftykins> eventually, sure.
[11:41] <daftykins> if it's a 2 or 3
[11:41] <selenuix> Okay ;)
[11:42] <selenuix> It's a 3
[11:42] <atralheaven> daftykins: http://hastebin.com/oqocumamun.vhdl
[11:43] <selenuix> How can I download Ubuntu Beta via a raspberry
[11:43] <selenuix> ?
[11:43] <daftykins> what do you mean 'via'
[11:43] <daftykins> you can't install it on it, from it - and as i already said, google
[11:44] <Ben64> also #raspberrypi
[11:44] <daftykins> atralheaven: you must have installed both OSs at the same time, yeah?
[11:44] <selenuix> No, I want download the ISO on a raspberry and install it on my computer
[11:44] <Ben64> go for it
[11:45] <daftykins> lol what a strange way to phrase the question then
[11:45] <selenuix> Okay
[11:45] <Mizmaar> Can anyone help me upgrade my resolution to the recommended monitor setting? Intel drivers are latest
[11:45] <hil> :)
[11:45] <daftykins> you don't install intel drivers, they're in the kernel.
[11:45] <daftykins> if you ran the thing from 01.org - you trashed your machine
[11:45] <metrixx> hi.
[11:46] <metrixx> i want to install X server to connect via putty on windows easily
[11:46] <metrixx> but what is the best package for this?
[11:46] <teta> help with this please? http://pastebin.com/bYwkmte4
[11:46] <daftykins> putty connects via command line, it doesn't need X
[11:46] <metrixx> i see there are many options
[11:46] <jatt> sshd
[11:46] <metrixx> well
[11:47] <metrixx> i was talking about Xming
[11:47] <daftykins> which way are you connecting?
[11:47] <CRM114> Xming worked the last time I used it
[11:47] <daftykins> from ubuntu to Windows?
[11:47] <Ben64> metrixx: windows software isn't on topic here, but that worked for me
[11:47] <CRM114> but give it a virus scan
[11:47] <metrixx> wow
[11:47] <daftykins> lol.
[11:48] <daftykins> teta: it's pretty obvious, remove the duplicate entries from /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:48] <daftykins> (make a backup first)
[11:48] <metrixx> i am not asking about Xming.. i am asking about the package to install on Ubuntu to connect for X server
[11:48] <daftykins> "connect for X server" makes zero sense
[11:48] <daftykins> you want to see the ubuntu GUI on the Windows PC? or the Windows GUI on the ubuntu PC?
[11:49] <Ben64> metrixx: if you have a gui you already have X
[11:49] <metrixx> Ben64, i dont
[11:49] <atralheaven> daftykins: no, frist linux, then windows
[11:49] <Mizmaar> daftykins: what you mean?
[11:49] <Ben64> metrixx: explain fully what you're doing
[11:49] <daftykins> atralheaven: well obviously, but i mean on the same day
[11:49] <daftykins> atralheaven: you should start again and put Windows first - your disk is a mess
[11:49] <metrixx> Ben64, i have a ubuntu server VM and i just want to use some X apps on windows
[11:50] <wsdjeg> why do you install diff os in your pc,
[11:50] <daftykins> Mizmaar: i mean you don't install drivers for intel graphics :) now, run "sudo apt install pastebinit" then "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" and share the link
[11:50] <CRM114> metrixx: ssh
[11:50] <atralheaven> daftykins: no, I had linux several monthes before, I had to have windows, so I made a partition for it
[11:51] <daftykins> metrixx: you would have to install the full GUI on the ubuntu machine, 'ubuntu-desktop' would be the simplest package
[11:51] <atralheaven> daftykins: I can't install everything new! is there anyway to fix it?
[11:51] <jatt> !openssh-server
[11:51] <metrixx> daftykins, i don't want full package if it is possible. instead of that, i just want the minimal thing
[11:51] <Ben64> daftykins: not true
[11:51] <daftykins> atralheaven: it's an absolute mess. i think you booted the windows install media as EFI instead of legacy, so it's not working
[11:51] <wsdjeg> I remamber someone ask this issue in facebook
[11:51] <Ben64> metrixx: install xauth
[11:51] <wsdjeg> atralheaven: you?
[11:52] <daftykins> Ben64: ok but have fun hand holding with that one ;)
[11:52] <Ben64> not hand holding anything tonight, i'm sleepy
[11:52] <Mizmaar> How do I edit the Grub menu so Windows is on top of the list and it loads by default
[11:52] <daftykins> :)
[11:52] <CRM114> he really just needs an ssh server, assuming he already has gui on the linux machine
[11:52] <atralheaven> daftykins: windows doesn't have an option to choose it, is there anyway to boot to windows again?
[11:52] <teta> anybody else? http://pastebin.com/bYwkmte4 it's not just repeated stuff in sources.list
[11:52] <daftykins> Mizmaar: edit /etc/default/grub and change the default value from 0 to the number corresponding to Windows, then save the file and run "sudo update-grub"
[11:53] <atralheaven> daftykins: I should unmount my partitions from windows
[11:53] <daftykins> teta: it will be, or extra entries in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ - or a common issue from google at the moment which there should be tonnes of guides online saying how to fix
[11:53] <karrot> what is the best way to control the network manager from the command line?
[11:53] <daftykins> EriC^^: ah just the guy, atralheaven has a horrible partition layout you might enjoy fixing a dualboot on
[11:54] <daftykins> nm-cli
[11:54] <karrot> i found nmcli, but I'm not sure if it's old (and possibly deprecated)
[11:54] <karrot> daftykins, thank yo
[11:56] <atralheaven> daftykins: if its possible to have exactly the same system and configs and apps etc with imaging the linux partition, im ok with editing partition layout!
[11:56] <daftykins> nah i'm not touching that with a bargepole
[11:57] <rexwin_> how to change home directory of a user to var/www?
[11:58] <daftykins> no, don't do that - add the user to the www-data group then own /var/www/ as www-data:www-data and change the permissions
[11:58] <linuxlove> hello
[11:58] <daftykins> uh-oh
[11:59] <linuxlove> is phpstorm free to use on ubuntu?
[11:59] <rexwin_> but ftp isn;t listing /var/www , i use vsftpd
[11:59] <VlanX> good morning. Unfortunately I think I have killed my grub. I powered on my computer with an usb key on, and now it only load windows, that I didnt even know was on the hard drive anymore.
[11:59] <cfhowlett> !grub2 | VlanX
[11:59] <craptalk> what is the language of hacking? i heard they use python alot? why?
[12:00] <VlanX> How can I tell grub to only lead ubuntu?
[12:00] <daftykins> rexwin_: you shouldn't, you should use SCP/SFTP
[12:00] <linuxlove> is phpstorm free to use on ubuntu?
[12:00] <cfhowlett> craptalk, wrong channeo to ask
[12:00] <cfhowlett> !info phpstorm
[12:00] <rexwin_> I am testing vsftpd
[12:00] <craptalk> cfhowlett: where can i ask this?
[12:00] <daftykins> !alis | craptalk go nuts
[12:00] <VlanX> thank you cfhowlett
[12:00] <cfhowlett> VlanX, happy2help!
[12:01] <kltrg> I’ve got a broken package that I can’t remove: http://pastebin.ca/3398229 What can I do about it?
[12:01] <cfhowlett> VlanX, for the record, from what you describe, a simple reinstallation of grub should fix you right up.
[12:01] <linuxlove> is phpstorm free to use on ubuntu?
[12:02] <cfhowlett> !patience | linuxlove,
[12:02] <daftykins> linuxlove: i found the answer for free in the first google results, i suggest you try this method.
[12:03] <daftykins> kltrg: can you show the command you ran?
[12:03] <daftykins> *exactly*
[12:03] <linuxlove> daftykins, i found free for just one month
[12:03] <cfhowlett> linuxlove, then asked and answered is your question
[12:03] <kltrg> daftykins, It was 'sudo aptitude purge brscan2'
[12:03] <daftykins> kltrg: mmm, can you show "dpkg -l | grep scan"
[12:04] <jushur> linuxlove: technicaly you can use what program you want on ubuntu, this channel only supply support for applications in the repos of ubuntu. thus you may need to look to other places for support of tools that are not.
[12:04] <kltrg> daftykins, Here is the output: http://pastebin.ca/3398243
[12:07] <daftykins> kltrg: any luck with "sudo dpkg -r brscan2" ? show it in a paste
[12:08] <cfhowlett> kltrg, let's see it in English: LC_ALL=C sudo dpkg -r brscan2 | pastebinit
[12:10] <buttercup>  /msg NickServ identify zeenatkhan12121996
[12:10] <daftykins> nice.
[12:11] <cfhowlett> buttercup sweet password there!!
[12:11] <buttercup> :'(
[12:11] <kltrg> daftykins, http://pastebin.ca/3398270
[12:12] <buttercup> cfhowlett: thanks for telling
[12:12] <buttercup> I need to change it now
[12:12] <daftykins> kltrg: ok lets give it what it wants; run "sudo mkdir /usr/local/Brother; sudo mkdir /usr/local/Brother/sane; sudo mkdir /usr/local/Brother/sane/models2; sudo mkdir /usr/local/Brother/sane/GrayCmData; sudo mkdir /usr/local/Brother/sane/GrayCmData/AL; sudo mkdir /usr/local/Brother/sane/GrayCmData/ALL; " then repeat
[12:12] <cfhowlett> indeed
[12:13] <daftykins> hmm i'm so tired i only just realised i could have cut down on all that repetition :(
[12:13] <kltrg> daftykins, It seems to have worked.
[12:13] <daftykins> kltrg: (repeat means "sudo dpkg -r brscan2" again)
[12:13] <daftykins> yay
[12:13] <metrixx> ok i opened xterm via putty on my windows but keyboard layout is different
[12:13] <daftykins> so essentially an uninstallation script wasn't able to do what it wanted, by satisfying the conditions it looked for - it completed without error
[12:14] <kltrg> daftykins, Thank you very much.
[12:14] <daftykins> np :)
[12:14] <metrixx> how can i fix the keyboard setting for X apps?
[12:14] <sl1fka666> what do you mean?
[12:15] <sl1fka666> by keyboard settings?
[12:15] <daftykins> keymap probably
[12:16] <metrixx> yes
[12:16] <metrixx> when i check docs, it says xorg.conf but there isnt ..
[12:17] <daftykins> no there won't be - that's wrong for sure
[12:20] <stellar_mind> For the past week, I have been trying to update my system. lsb_release -a shows my version as 14.04.4. I just now executed apt-get upgrade and the system is up to date now, but when I again try to perform an apt-get update I get the following error - Failed to fetch http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/Release  Unable to find expected e
[12:20] <stellar_mind> ntry 'restricted/source/Sources' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
[12:20] <stellar_mind> E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[12:21] <stellar_mind> I am a newbie to ubuntu
[12:21] <stellar_mind> and my main aim is to start working on ROS
[12:21] <linuxlove> jushur, which program i can use instead of phpstorm on ubuntu?
[12:22] <stellar_mind> But due to this error I can't seem to download anything from software center
[12:22] <stellar_mind> I am sorry if I interrupted a conversation
[12:22] <cfhowlett> !ide | linuxlove
[12:22] <sl1fka666> no need to be sorry Stellar_Mind
[12:23] <stellar_mind> :)
[12:23] <jushur> linuxlove: http://alternativeto.net/software/phpstorm/?license=opensource
[12:23] <stellar_mind> what should be my next set of actions?
[12:23] <jushur> linuxlove: note this is not a clearcut answer. its a hint to what may be usable for you.
[12:23] <daftykins> stellar_mind: change your set of mirrors
[12:24] <linuxlove> jushur, thanks
[12:24] <metrixx> hmm
[12:25] <stellar_mind> Should I paste the output from cat /etc/apt/sources.list ? I was getting this error after a fresh install of 14.04.3
[12:25] <Tin_man> stellar_mind: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/05/appgrid-ubuntu-software-centre-alternative
[12:25] <metrixx> setxkbmap solved the problem generally but some characters don't seem... they are hidden when i type
[12:26] <linuxlove> what is exist in repo?
[12:27] <Tin_man> my guess is repository
[12:27] <daftykins> stellar_mind: no, just change your mirrors - open system settings on the left, then software and sources
[12:28] <jushur> linuxlove: if you search for it, sudo apt-cache search appname , and you find it there. it "exists" in the ubuntu repo or any repo you added to system.
[12:28] <daftykins> linuxlove: wow, you find new ways to surprise me every day
[12:28] <linuxlove> daftykins, what do you mean?
[12:29] <stellar_mind> @Tin_man I am trying that out now. and @daftykins I changed the mirrors to main and also tried out the ones for india (where I am from)
[12:29] <daftykins> it's like you've taken it upon yourself to learn Linux without actually lifting a finger
[12:29] <k1l_> linuxlove: use "apt search" for searching stuff in the ubuntu repos (or the PPAs you added)
[12:30] <cfhowlett> linuxlove, in other words, instead of asking "what is in the repos" you could , you know, do your OWN search of the repos?  We kind of expect would-be developers to be able to do that sort of thing.
[12:30] <linuxlove> daftykins, please be careful about what you say
[12:30] <daftykins> nah i'm good
[12:30] <linuxlove> daftykins, you say words without think
[12:31] <daftykins> i think that's my line :)
[12:31] <linuxlove> daftykins, focus on your business
[12:31] <k1l_> linuxlove: the intention of this support channel is to guide you to get to the state to help yourself. we dont want people to come here again and again and not learning. because we cant handle all that millions ubuntu users in here.
[12:31] <stellar_mind> When I try to install appgrid, I get the following errors--- /var/lib/dpkg/info/appgrid.postinst: 31: /var/lib/dpkg/info/appgrid.postinst: systemctl: not found
[12:32] <linuxlove> k1l_, what was wrong with me about what is alternative for phpstorm in ubuntu repo
[12:32] <k1l_> linuxlove: so as a user who has asked a lot in here the last weeks (which is fine) we need you to learn to help yourself, so we can focus on other beginners again. if you have issues you can still ask in here, but not all the basic stuff you were told several times and it only looks like you dont want to do a search first on your own.
[12:33] <Tin_man> stellar_mind: did you try and download the deb? package? or the sudo commands?
[12:34] <linuxlove> k1l_, okay here is just for people who thinks they know every thing and other peoples are idiot
[12:34] <linuxlove> excuse me for getting your time
[12:34] <k1l_> linuxlove: that is in no way what i said
[12:35] <linuxlove> i was on linux mint help channel
[12:35] <k1l_> linuxlove: its just the point that you dont do a search on your own before you ask here. and people get annoyed by you asking simple things over and over again.
[12:35] <k1l_> linuxlove: so you use mint?
[12:35] <saturday_sun> I recently had an argument with a friend about using root over ssh with a strong key. He uses it, but I think it's bad because the key he uses on his client can be compromised. What do you guys think?
[12:36] <linuxlove> k1l_, it is not thing that i do it because you say go to mint
[12:36] <lotuspsychje> saturday_sun: fail2ban for more security
[12:36] <linuxlove> is ubuntu belong to you ?
[12:36] <k1l_> saturday_sun: common sense is not to use root login
[12:36] <stellar_mind> I tried the sudo commands. I got the application installed but it doesn't respond
[12:37] <daftykins> i think you installed something for the wrong system, stellar_mind
[12:37] <daftykins> saturday_sun: any remote login as root = dumb, bad question to ask in #ubuntu though since root doesn't have a password as standard
[12:38] <stellar_mind> oh. appgrid was working now. But shows the same dependency errors as ubuntu software center
[12:38] <atralheaven> daftykins: how can I unmount the partitions that windows kept mounted from linux?
[12:38] <daftykins> that's not what mount and unmount means
[12:39] <Tin_man> i'd do the sudo apt-get remove command, and try the .deb install
[12:39] <saturday_sun> daftykins: OK sorry.
[12:40] <atralheaven> daftykins: windows has a feature, that doesn't unmount drives to boot faster, now I cant boot to windows to disable it
[12:40] <frostschutz> saturday_sun, I don't have a problem with using ssh keys even for root, it's all up to you
[12:40] <daftykins> atralheaven: that's got nothing to do with mounting, you're using the term incorrectly
[12:40] <daftykins> atralheaven: as mentioned i don't want to help with your situation because it's a mess
[12:41] <atralheaven> daftykins: well, I don't know what is the term for it, I need to have access to my files partition so I can backup stuff and reinstall
[12:43] <daftykins> i suspect what you're talking about is hybrid shutdown has locked the NTFS volumes, so they won't mount - but you can't boot Windows to fix that, so you're stuck
[12:43] <noawa> Hey
[12:43] <atralheaven> daftykins: and please recommend a partition layout for me
[12:43] <stellar_mind> Tin_man appgrid is working fine, but doesnt install any software because of the dependency issues. The same issues plaguing Ubuntu software cente, whihc I think is a result of apt-get update not updating properly, I have tried all the solutions mentioned online, but to no avail
[12:43] <daftykins> no.
[12:43] <atralheaven> daftykins: exactly
[12:44] <Tin_man> as before mentioned, must be a mirror problem, i'm at a loss to know what you might need to fix it..
[12:45] <stellar_mind> Is the main server working for you guys?
[12:45] <Tin_man> was earlier, don't know now, i'm on mint :(
[12:46] <stellar_mind> oh. :(
[12:46] <stellar_mind> can cat /etc/apt/sources.list help?
[12:46] <Tin_man> i just installed ubuntu 14.04 for my son-in-law, and they were working
[12:46] <k1l_> Tin_man: oh, better ask the mint channels. they do some stuff with the repos
[12:47] <Tin_man> i don't have any problems to ask k1l
[12:47] <daftykins> we only deal with the targets direct, we can't theorise about them
[12:49] <stellar_mind> anything else I can do to sort this out? any other info required? I really don't want to do a fresh install again, that would be my 5th time in a week
[12:49] <daftykins> O_O
[12:51] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:51] <SchrodingersScat> stellar_mind: well, systemctl is systemd iirc
[12:52] <vinod> hi, i'm new to ubuntu. I can't get my wifi working http://paste.ubuntu.com/15358174/ kindly help
[12:52] <SchrodingersScat> !broadcom | vinod, does this help?
[12:52] <lotuspsychje> vinod: wich ubuntu version?
[12:52] <vinod> 14.04
[12:53] <lotuspsychje> vinod: full up to date?
[12:53] <vinod> yeah
[12:53] <vinod> i did yesterday complete update with extras too
[12:53] <lotuspsychje> vinod: check the url SchrodingersScat provided

[12:54] <vinod> may be
[12:54] <vinod> I don't know much, but it was working for my other laptop :(
[12:55] <lotuspsychje> vinod: did you install with cable on? updates during setup?
[12:55] <vinod> no
[12:55] <vinod> with usb
[12:55] <vinod> than updated with cabal
[12:55] <vinod> cable.
[12:55] <vinod> http://paste.ubuntu.com/15358200/
[12:56] <lotuspsychje> vinod: recommended to install updates during setup also, but check the b43 url from SchrodingersScat
[13:01] <stoneman1> hey. I'm trying to catch an acpi event (lid close) but it won't work. The script works manually and the event is fired when i listen to it via acpi_listen
[13:01] <stoneman1> i followed this tutorial
[13:01] <stoneman1> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LaptopLidAndDockScripts
[13:03] <stoneman1> a bit weird is that when listening to the event it says: button/lid LID close but in the tutorial it says to listen to event=button/lid.*
[13:03] <stoneman1> is that '.' intended?
[13:06] <atralheaven> if I create an image of my home partition, will permissions be kept?
[13:07] <atralheaven> or should I use tar?
[13:08] <lotuspsychje> atralheaven: what are you trying to do? backup?
[13:08] <llutz> atralheaven: use tar
[13:09] <SchrodingersScat> !backups | atralheaven there are many ways. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_backup_software#Free_software
[13:11] <atralheaven> lotuspsychje: backup to reinstall linux, I want to keep configs etc
[13:12] <lotuspsychje> atralheaven: you can also save your /home on a new reinstall if you like
[13:13] <lotuspsychje> atralheaven: and why do you need ubuntu reinstall?
[13:15] <atralheaven> lotuspsychje: I have linux installed and I installed windows after some time, as I expected, I couldn't boot to linux, I used a live ubuntu disk and boot-repair tool to fix this, now I can boot to linux, but there is no windows option to select!
[13:16] <lotuspsychje> atralheaven: you didnt accidentaly overwritten windows?
[13:18] <lotuspsychje> atralheaven: maybe take a look at your grub? or sudo update-grub
[13:18] <atralheaven> lotuspsychje: no, windows was installed after linux, I think its because of diffrent bootloader types (eufi, legacy) that I don't know much about
[13:18] <lotuspsychje> !uefi | atralheaven
[13:19] <atralheaven> lotuspsychje: if there is a way to fix this, I wont need to reinstall anything...
[13:19] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: ^ :p
[13:19] <daftykins> it's a mess, nobody sane would try
[13:19] <stoneman1> i think when i wanted to install ubuntu alongside windows i was also told to install windows first. but im not sure if this informatioon is correct
[13:19] <daftykins> yeah windows first is easiest
[13:19] <daftykins> but there's also EFI vs. legacy now
[13:21] <atralheaven> daftykins: there is a boot, root, home and swap partition for linux, a partition for windows, and a partition for my files. how else can it be?
[13:22] <daftykins> already said no
[13:22] <daftykins> it's about primary, extended and logical
[13:23] <EriC^^> it's pretty easy to convert legacy to uefi and vice-versa
[13:23] <EriC^^> for uefi to legacy you just need to make a 1mb bios_boot instead of the efi, and remove it from fstab and just reinstall grub
[13:24] <daftykins> EriC^^: you haven't seen it, it'll send chills down your spine! :)
[13:24] <daftykins> but if anyone can do it... you're the man
[13:24] <lotuspsychje> lol
[13:25] <EriC^^> lol :D
[13:26] <atralheaven> EriC^^: its 'fdisk -l' output: http://hastebin.com/nefazoboba
[13:26] <EriC^^> i wonder what this setup is like though
[13:27] <EriC^^> nice
[13:27] <EriC^^> so it's msdos, you basically just need to reinstall grub
[13:27] <EriC^^> cause you're using uefi + msdos and not gpt, easy-peasy :D
[13:27] <EriC^^> atralheaven: can you turn uefi mode on and boot into ubuntu?
[13:28] <atralheaven> I used boot-repair tool, now I have linux and I can boot to it, but I don't have windows listed
[13:28] <EriC^^> atralheaven: ok, type sudo nano /etc/fstab
[13:28] <EriC^^> then put a # at the start of the line that says UUID=....... /boot/efi
[13:30] <atralheaven> EriC^^: I dont have efi here
[13:30] <atralheaven> http://hastebin.com/lugoniqece
[13:31] <EriC^^> oh, so ubuntu is in legacy mode
[13:32] <EriC^^> wow that fat32 is actually 900gb
[13:32] <atralheaven> EriC^^: no its ntfs
[13:32] <tocotron> hi
[13:32] <atralheaven> EriC^^: the big partition is for my files
[13:33] <EriC^^> atralheaven: ok, type sudo nano /etc/grub.d/40_custom
[13:33] <atralheaven> EriC^^: and?
[13:33] <atralheaven> im on this file
[13:35] <mwayne> Hi  I can't get gtk 3.18.9 to compile. this is my log http://pastebin.com/Qv4qgAWN. I already got all the dependencies except pango which won't compile too.
[13:35] <EriC^^> atralheaven: nevermind, as daftykins pointed out earlier, you have to reinstall everything making windows on a primary partition
[13:35] <atralheaven> EriC^^: really...?
[13:35]  * daftykins nods
[13:36] <EriC^^> yeah, windows won't work if it's not on a primary one
[13:36] <atralheaven> everything? both linux and windows?
[13:36] <EriC^^> yup
[13:37] <atralheaven> EriC^^: ok but before reinstalling, tell me how to partition my hard drive, so I can have a clean scheme. just keep that 900gb partition, and if its possible, the home partition
[13:44] <atralheaven> EriC^^: sorry I was disconnected
[13:45] <EriC^^> atralheaven: you need to make windows primary, let it do it's thing first with a clean partition table
[13:45] <EriC^^> then install linux into an extended partition after it that has all your linux stuff
[13:46] <EriC^^> atralheaven: back up your home partition and the 900gb data to another disk
[13:46] <atralheaven> so the only primary partition that needs to be is windows partition, right?
[13:46] <EriC^^> yeah, linux doesn't mind at all
[13:47] <atralheaven> EriC^^: I can backup my home but not that 900gb one :|
[13:47] <daftykins> you're gonna need a bigger boat
[13:47] <EriC^^> atralheaven: i wonder how hard it is to convert a partition from extended to primary, like if you can do a command to convert it
[13:47] <daftykins> you'd have to nuke all logicals
[13:48] <EriC^^> ok, and you could create a primary with the same data?
[13:48] <EriC^^> like make it so that the 900gb is a primary and not a logical one anymore ( with free space after it )
[13:49] <daftykins> mmm dunno, i'd just copy everything off to an external and nuke it from orbit - it's the only way to be sure
[13:49] <atralheaven> my files partition is primary, and I need another primary for windows, and I will make an extended for linux, whats the problem?
[13:50] <EriC^^> same here, just wondering
[13:50] <daftykins> i don't like hack fixes :>
[13:50] <EriC^^> me neither, except like you know 'desperate times call for desperate measures' type of thing
[13:50] <EriC^^> :D
[13:51] <EriC^^> i must watch a lot of movies
[13:51] <EriC^^> lol
[13:52] <daftykins> :)

[13:53] <stellar_mind> BTW does update have a problem if the system is connected to the internet via proxy
[13:54] <k1l_> stellar_mind: yes
[13:54] <AppAraat> hi, how can I disable automount in Lubuntu 15.10? I already deleted pcmanfm but my external HDD is still automounting.
[13:54] <stellar_mind> Any way to resolve that?
[13:54] <stellar_mind> it wasn't an issue with 15.10, when I tried to update 15.10 it worked
[13:55] <stellar_mind> but ROS doesn't support 15.10 so had to go backe
[13:55] <stellar_mind> to 14.04
[13:55] <nomic> automount is in fstab
[13:55] <nomic> what is automatically mounted on bootup -- each volume is a line in the file /etc/filetabl
[13:55] <nomic> filetab (file table)
[13:55] <k1l_> stellar_mind: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto?action=show&redirect=AptGet#Setting_up_apt-get_to_use_a_http-proxy
[13:55] <nomic> use sudo to edit the line of the mount you dont want in there
[13:55] <nomic> remove it
[13:56] <nomic> AppAraat
[13:56] <nomic> a usb drive will mount when you plug the cable in
[13:56] <nomic> but otherwise .. in fstab
[13:56] <AppAraat> nomic: I thought so too, but my fstab looks like this: http://ix.io/rll
[13:57] <AppAraat> I see no reference in there for automount
[13:57] <stellar_mind> thanks K1l_ I hope that works out! :)
[13:57] <nomic> what linux is this (ubuntu)
[13:57] <k1l_> AppAraat: using encryption? look at the mtab?
[13:57] <EriC^^> AppAraat: that's gvfs automounting it i guess
[13:58] <AppAraat> KillaloT: no, it is liveCD
[13:58] <AppAraat> * k1l_
[13:58] <nomic> apparat maybe post forum message (ubuntu forums)
[13:58] <AppAraat> I'll try and locate the gvfs and remove it
[13:58] <k1l_> AppAraat: on a live cd you want automount, imho
[13:59] <AppAraat> usually yes, but right now I'm doing a ddrescue operation
[14:04] <AppAraat> hmm, after removing gvfs and gvfs-common it still automounts
[14:04] <AppAraat> I am pretty confused now. The only thing I can think of is disabling automount via systemd
[14:09] <AppAraat> oh wow
[14:10] <AppAraat> I've just installed pcmanfm, and in the GUI settings I disabled automount
[14:10] <AppAraat> only then it stopped automounting
[14:10] <AppAraat> I can not start thinking how incredibly silly this is
[14:19] <stellar_mind> uni had a proxy! that was creating a problem. Used a vpn and now it's sorted! Thank you guys for all the help!

[14:25] <frojnd> Hello there.
[14:26] <frojnd> I have major problem setting up huawei E8278 with usb modeswitch. I've downloaded latest usb_modeswitch as usb_modeswitch-data from http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/ and compile it, but I can't connect put usb into modem mode :S
[14:31] <lotuspsychje> frojnd: wich ubuntu version is this?
[14:32] <frojnd> ubuntu 15.10
[14:32] <lotuspsychje> frojnd: up to date to latest?
[14:32] <frojnd> lotuspsychje: no, live versio
[14:33] <lotuspsychje> frojnd: you have access to cable internet?
[14:33] <frojnd> lotuspsychje: no
[14:33] <frojnd> lotuspsychje: I mean,.. usb has wifi mode.. so currently I'm on wifi
[14:34] <lotuspsychje> frojnd: you could try the full install perhaps? or an LTS version
[14:34] <lotuspsychje> frojnd: syslog showing anything usefull as error?
[14:35] <frojnd> lotuspsychje: computer that has usb plugged in and ubuntu 15.10 live version just froze
[14:35] <frojnd> I'll have to reboot
[14:35] <lotuspsychje> kk
[14:38] <lotuspsychje> frojnd: try a tail -f /var/log/syslog before you plugin your usb modem
[14:39] <belgianguy> Hi, I read that from 16.04 AMD is switching from fglrx to amdgpu
[14:39] <belgianguy> is there any worry for compatibility?
[14:39] <lotuspsychje> belgianguy: #ubuntu+1 for 16.04 talk please
[14:39] <belgianguy> lotuspsychje: woops, will do
[14:40] <k1l_> belgianguy: amd itself is swithcing von fglrx to amdgpu
[14:40] <k1l_> ubuntu is just the first linux to ship the new xorg-server version that will not get any fglrx.
[14:41] <frojnd> Ah..
[14:41] <belgianguy> k1l_: well I am excited nonetheless, would hate to brick my current system
[14:41] <frojnd> I'll install it inside virtialbox

[15:02] <Gibb`s> Hi, can you help me ?
[15:02] <lotuspsychje> !ask | Gibb`s
[15:03] <Gibb`s> I've buy a yubikey and I've configure on my Laptop and, I can't login :(
[15:05] <EriC^^> what's a yubikey?
[15:06] <daftykins> it's a little device that cycles login codes, i believe
[15:06]  * EriC^^ drawing blanks still
[15:06] <daftykins> USB thing that has to be plugged in before you can log in
[15:06] <EriC^^> ohh
[15:06] <daftykins> my mistake, i was thinking of - https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8f/RSA_SecurID_SID800.jpg
[15:07] <daftykins> 2 factor auth essentially
[15:07] <lotuspsychje> Gibb`s: use at your own risk: http://askubuntu.com/questions/599825/yubikey-two-factor-authentication-full-disk-encryption-via-luks
[15:08] <lotuspsychje> !ppa | Gibb`s
[15:10] <Gibb`s> lotuspsychje, -> My yubikey is connected, but Ubuntu can't found file or directory in /var/yubikey and I've created files
[15:10] <Gibb`s> I can't open my session
[15:11] <lotuspsychje> Gibb`s: ask the maintainer of the ppa how it works perhaps
[15:12] <lotuspsychje> Gibb`s: hmm, wait apt-cache search yubikey shows some stuff, maybe something usefull for you?
[15:15] <Gibb`s> lotuspsychje, how I can acces when I can't login at my session ?
[15:15] <lotuspsychje> Gibb`s: i think you need the right tools install first, then use your yubikey
[15:16] <lotuspsychje> Gibb`s: but didnt test this myself...
[15:16] <Gibb`s> My session is locked
[15:17] <EriC^^> Gibb`s: try to enter your normal passphrase, what exactly did you do?
[15:17] <lotuspsychje> Gibb`s: maybe this can also help? https://www.yubico.com/applications/computer-login/linux/
[15:19] <karrot> is there some way to send a video to a dlna renderer, prefarably through cli?
[15:20] <cfhowlett> karrot, ftp?
[15:21] <karrot> cfhowlett, well, I mean I have a dlna renderer, and I wish to play things on it from the command line.  I have rygel set up on my computer as a upnp server... but I can't just play from there to the renderer.  I must use my phone as the control point...
[15:22] <Bitnova> is anyone familiar with failregex to parse access.log in nginx?
[15:23] <daftykins> tried #nginx?
[15:23] <PCatinean> Hello guys, can someone please offer a good guide to installing a secure and efficient mail server on a ubuntu server 14.04 LTS?
[15:24] <PCatinean> I also have SSL connection maybe that helps with trust issues so it does not end up in spam or something
[15:24] <PCatinean> SSL certificate
[15:25] <twoion[shell]> PCatinean: Postfix is pretty straightforward and has a sane default configuration. Install the package and poke around a bit. http://www.postfix.org/BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.html. The man pages/online docs are also very good.
[15:25] <daftykins> PCatinean: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-setup-postfix-on-ubuntu-14-04
[15:25] <PCatinean> Just postfix twoion[shell] ?
[15:25] <PCatinean> What about other packages?
[15:25] <daftykins> it's pretty standard.
[15:25] <PCatinean> Usage of IMAP maybe?
[15:26] <daftykins> running your own mail though, are you sure you're bored enough?
[15:27] <PCatinean> daftykins, alternatives?
[15:27] <twoion[shell]> PCatinean: Postfix is still insane, but less insane than the mess that is qmail. I have no experience with exim so I can't tell. IMAP server != SMTP server/client. You probably want postfix+dovecot.
[15:28] <jushur> actually not running your own mail is starting to look pretty stupid.
[15:29] <daftykins> PCatinean: hosted services, office 365, google apps...
[15:29] <PCatinean> jushur, how so?
[15:30] <metrixx> .
[15:31] <jushur> if anyone attacks a major mail service, you will be caught in the crosshairs to. running your own will make for decent workload. but at the same time give you very tight control. and the possibility to have logs of things that has occured.
[15:31] <metrixx> when i changed user with "su" many times.. is there a way to see all users before current one...
[15:32] <PCatinean> jushur, you think the google mailing service isn't safe enough?
[15:32] <PCatinean> If i run my email through gmail api?
[15:32] <Guest39856> @search emblemata
[15:32] <daftykins> kinda going off topic now, this belongs in #ubuntu-server really to begin
[15:33] <ghostmag> Hey folks
[15:33] <jushur> well its a matter of how you value your data. id recommend using full gpg client side mail content encryption if you do so.
[15:34] <jushur> wich in essence goes against googles eula when using their service
[15:34] <daftykins> read: how big your tinfoil hat is
[15:36] <jushur> daftykins: you are free to not care, its your choise. but id sudgest you stop downtalking people.
[15:36] <daftykins> jushur: i'm not sure where you got that idea?
[15:36] <daftykins> i use a very to-the-point approach which means to convey no harm, sorry if you thought there was some.
[15:39] <jushur> PCatinean: google is considered one of the great ones security wise tho. you are right in this. but then again im a pessemist about corporates in general about this kind of thing. basicly they do not benefit from telling the world when things are afot.
[15:40] <PCatinean> jushur, indeed Google who is a huge data mining company would not get the safest bets on security of information
[15:40] <vdevnull> Hello guys, I don't know if it is the right channel to ask. But can someone help me up with "NGINX / PHP7.0" Installation in UBuntu 14.04 ?
[15:40] <MonkeyDust> then the rebels become the mainstream and the snake bites its own tail
[15:40] <khairulimam> am i the only one who just trying to use irc here?
[15:40] <PCatinean> I have to consider the fact that I have little experience setting up mailservers and I need them working perfectly until monday
[15:40] <PCatinean> Which, i'm not sure if a safe bet
[15:40] <jushur> PCatinean: for personal use of a mail server, it can be quite tedious to maintain tho.
[15:41] <daftykins> vdevnull: do you have to do it now? i believe PHP 7 will be in 16.04 which will be out in a little over a month
[15:41] <PCatinean> jushur, maybe I should not venture into it, at least not now
[15:41] <khairulimam> [][]}
[15:41] <daftykins> PCatinean: i really think it's down to whether you value your free time - i've never run my own and i know what it's like to be dealing with a live system that develops showstopping issues, life is too short.
[15:42] <vdevnull> daftykins, I've installed PHP7.0-FPM and if i run php --version shows the correct version. But i'm having problems linking it with NGINX.
[15:42] <daftykins> you'll know better than us the scale and importance of this, so up to you of course
[15:42] <jushur> PCatinean: to short timespan for it id say.
[15:42] <daftykins> vdevnull: that's not anything to do with what i said, really
[15:44] <PCatinean> daftykins, jushur I agree with you guys
[15:44] <PCatinean> It is for another time, another place, when I got extra time on my hands and want to reap the benefit of a personal server
[15:45] <PCatinean> right now I'm focused on something else so I will use a pre-paid service especially since I won't be sending any sensitive important data the moment
[15:45] <PCatinean> So thank you guys very much for consulting me on this, I will look for an external solution so far :D
[15:45] <PCatinean> Much appreciated
[15:45] <daftykins> *nod* i know google apps gives 30 days free trial too, so that could be handy
[15:46] <PCatinean> daftykins, yeah just read that now, it would help a lot
[15:46] <deeVer_> After typing CAT /filename I receive a > allow to write text. I cannot open or see the contents of this file. What do i need to learn in order to properly cat this file?
[15:47] <daftykins> deeVer_: run "file filename" to see what it is
[15:47] <PCatinean> Before I go, any opinions on microsoft email service?
[15:47] <Blink`> Yo, any of you guys uhh, willing to be considerate and help a nub out? I'm new to the whole server side. And would love to learn it. So I bought a ubuntu 14.04 server, no desktop and uhh.. I'm clueless on what to do now.
[15:47] <Blink`> Thanks in advance though.
[15:48] <SchrodingersScat> Blink`: ssh to it?
[15:48] <daftykins> never used first hand, i had to avoid it as a client had to keep all data away from the potential of being stored in the US - which MS cannot guarantee
[15:48] <jushur> PCatinean: bad channel to ask such question, it will be biased obviously..
[15:48] <PCatinean> hahahah point taken jushur :))) didn't realize hit lol
[15:48] <daftykins> (due to financial regulation reasons)
[15:48] <PCatinean> no questions regarding OS that's for sure :))
[15:48] <leigh> am I in the right place to get help with a printer problem?
[15:49] <mittsquared> Can someone help me out with some boot issues I'm having?
[15:49] <daftykins> just ask
[15:49] <jushur> leigh: asuming your running Ubuntu, id say yes. ask the question and people will answer if/when they have time. be patient.
[15:49] <leigh> ok
[15:50] <PtrPiotr> Hi, is it possible to test *16.4* desktop with *snappy*? I downloaded beta ISO, but it seems that it still use deb packages
[15:50] <Blink`> SchrodingersScat - Done that.
[15:50] <daftykins> PtrPiotr: #ubuntu+1 for unreleased versions
[15:51] <PtrPiotr> daftykins: thx
[15:51] <daftykins> Blink`: well you need an actual task, if it's a VPS on the internet you could try installing apache and hosting a website for fun
[15:51] <leigh> help: my printer is printing, but its only printing blank pages, how do I correct this?
[15:52] <deeVer_> leigh: did you check your drivers?
[15:52] <daftykins> leigh: open your browser and have a look around http://localhost:631 for how it's configured.
[15:52] <leigh> ok
[15:53] <atralheaven> guys I want to backup my home partition with tar, what is '--one-file-system' option? should I use it? I want to place backup.tar.gz on usb flash drive
[15:53] <mittsquared> I am getting a media test failure when trying to boot. I've tried installing different OSes to no avail
[15:53] <deeVer_> leigh: check out your properties, if you have different tray's you can pick from, play around with that.
[15:54] <cassio__> hello
[15:54] <daftykins> mittsquared: are you typing from a live session right now?
[15:54] <mittsquared> yes
[15:54] <daftykins> mittsquared: do you have a mechanical hard disk that's not new?
[15:55] <mittsquared> Yes
[15:55] <mittsquared> It is in a laptop
[15:55] <daftykins> mittsquared: try running "sudo apt update ; sudo apt install pastebinit smartmontools ; sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit
[15:56] <daftykins> then paste the link here
[15:56] <SchrodingersScat> atralheaven: afaik that means if you had something linked or mounted in the path then it would ignore those things, like a network mount for instance.
[15:56] <mittsquared> daftykins, will do
[15:57] <satu_> Hi! Is Miro working on Ubuntu?
[15:57] <MonkeyDust> !info miro
[15:58] <daftykins> it's in repos at least, yeah as above
[15:58] <satu_> It's in AUR too but not working.
[15:58] <MonkeyDust> satu_  if you're in ubuntu now, install it and try it
[15:58] <Spider> anyone here use x11vnc?
[15:59] <MonkeyDust> Spider  that's a yes/no question ... what brings you here
[15:59] <satu_> I'm in Manjaro. That's why I ask. :)
[16:00] <daftykins> the distro? then you can't ask for help in here, satu_
[16:01] <Spider> well i am asking that to see if anyone here uses it and to see anyone knows why it keeps freezing?
[16:01] <mittsquared> daftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/15360055/
[16:01] <satu_> Why not? Maybe it' s one of reason for me witch back to Ubuntu.
[16:02] <daftykins> mittsquared: mmm ok there's nothing wrong with the disk, health wise. was it just ubuntu you wanted on there, sorry?
[16:02] <Spider> or if anyone can possibly direct me to a chan that can help with possible X issues
[16:02] <satu_> It's kind of stupid for me go to Manjaro chanel ask if Miro works in Ubuntu, don't you think?
[16:03] <mittsquared> daftykins, yeah that would be alright
[16:03] <Blink`> daftykins - Apache is already installed as it came preinstalled with virmechs server
[16:03] <daftykins> mittsquared: is it normal ubuntu 14.04.4 64-bit you've got on a flash drive to install?
[16:03] <Blink`> But the ideal idea behind the server is to learn how it works + how to set it up etc, so website as a goal sounds like a good idea
[16:03] <daftykins> Blink`: ok, not normal ubuntu then
[16:03] <Blink`> But like, how do I secure my server once I buy it
[16:03] <Blink`> Because I'm getting the "it works" screen when I access the IP
[16:03] <daftykins> plenty of guides online, use the term 'hardening'
[16:04] <varaindemian> do you guys recommand using do-release-upgrade while I am on 14.04 lts?
[16:04] <daftykins> but bear in mind that some providers change too much of default
[16:04] <daftykins> varaindemian: for what purpose?
[16:04] <MonkeyDust> Blink`  http://hardenubuntu.com/hardening/
[16:04] <daftykins> i would say don't leave LTS (14.04 is long term support)
[16:04] <Blink`> Ahhhh
[16:04] <varaindemian> daftykins, Seeing what't new, performance enhances etc
[16:05] <xangua> varaindemian: you can use a virtual machine to see that's new
[16:05] <daftykins> i think you're better off just booting a live session to see that
[16:05] <mittsquared> daftykins, yeah
[16:05] <daftykins> mittsquared: is there any data on the disk right now that you need to keep?
[16:06] <mittsquared> daftykins, no
[16:06] <daftykins> mittsquared: it sounds like your boot order is just wrong inside the BIOS to be honest, media test failure is typically the boot from LAN option finding no cable is plugged in - you might get away with just entering the BIOS and checking what's set to boot first
[16:07] <Blink`> Seems like I forgot my SSH IP + password. xD
[16:07] <turbo15> !list
[16:08] <mittsquared> daftykins, lan is the last option in bios boot settings
[16:08] <Blink`> daftykins
[16:08] <Blink`> Sorry uhh sec
[16:09] <vdevnull> How do i check if user exists?
[16:09] <Blink`> daftykins - Regarding the hardening link you provided, should I only follow the tutorial for Protect Apache?
[16:09] <daftykins> mittsquared: mmm i think it's failing on the earlier ones and skipping down - anyway if you ran "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=2M count=1" then ran the installer and tried again, selecting all auto - and be sure GRUB installs to sda during the process - see how you get on
[16:09] <daftykins> Blink`: actually that was from MonkeyDust
[16:09] <Blink`> t_t Sorry
[16:09] <mittsquared> daftykins, OK I will try that. Thanks.
[16:09] <Blink`> Minds all over the place today
[16:09] <Blink`> MonkeyDust - I apologise :p
[16:10] <Blink`> But yeah, on Hardening, which should I follow now?
[16:10] <blockchainbro> blink check out https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/initial-server-setup-with-ubuntu-14-04#tutorial_series_32
[16:10] <Blink`> blockchainbro - Thank you.
[16:16] <Blink`> Hmm, if I'm generating a new key, how do I find that file?
[16:16] <Blink`> Is it on my PC, or would I have to navigate to it via putty?
[16:17] <disc0very> hi all
[16:17] <blockchainbro> ssh-keygen on localhost terminal... if youre using windows you can use puttygen
[16:17] <disc0very> i'm trying to make an Ubuntu Live USB drive to work on both UEFI and BIOS boot
[16:17] <daftykins> hi
[16:17] <daftykins> disc0very: yep been fine since 12.04.1
[16:17] <Blink`> blockchainbro - I meant I've done the ssh-keygen, but where do I find the saved file, is what I meant
[16:18] <disc0very> daftykins hello, yes, it is fine. I used to achieve this with 14.04
[16:18] <Blink`> Tutorial says (/Users/localuser/.ssh/id_rsa):
[16:18] <Blink`> But my putty says different, so uhh
[16:18] <disc0very> but i have a problem with the Macbook Pro Retina UEFI boot (and both BIOS boot)
[16:18] <daftykins> ugh macs.
[16:18] <nicomachus> lol
[16:18] <Blink`> Just trying to figure that out, sorry blockchainbro
[16:18] <disc0very> basically i created a casper-rw partition on the same USB drive
[16:19] <blockchainbro> are you using windows or ubuntu to generate your key?
[16:19] <daftykins> trying to do manual persistence eh?
[16:19] <disc0very> formatting it ext4 and labeling it "casper-rw"
[16:19] <Blink`> windows
[16:19] <Blink`> but server is ubuntu
[16:19] <disc0very> when i run the Live USB without kernel parameters i can boot and work with the live
[16:19] <blockchainbro> so open puttygen... generate your key, type a passphrase, hit "save private key"
[16:19] <disc0very> when i add "persistent" parameter to the kernel, i can't boot
[16:19] <disc0very> it basically end me on the initramfs shell
[16:20] <daftykins> can't say i've ever done persistence manually, does it require some flags on the partition perhaps?
[16:20] <pitastrudl> how can i kill "15827 pts/1    Sl     0:34 /usr/bin/cli /usr/lib/keepass2/KeePass.exe" with pkill? it does not work, i can kill it with kill $(ps aux | grep keepass | awk '{print $2}')
[16:20] <pitastrudl>  but is there a quicker way on doing it trougl cli?
[16:20] <daftykins> !persistence
[16:20] <Blink`> Yeah, I did that. I'm just trying to find the saved file
[16:20] <disc0very> daftykins it shouldn't
[16:20] <Blink`> In which the key is saved in
[16:20] <blockchainbro> and if you open that private key file in notepad, youll see the public key... copy that into your authorized_keys file on your ubuntu server
[16:20] <Blink`> Yeah.. but what I'm saying is
[16:20] <Blink`> Where is that private key file
[16:20] <sergio__> hi
[16:20] <blockchainbro> it should prompt you where puttygen wants to save the file
[16:21] <disc0very> daftykins can I PM u?
[16:21] <Blink`> Yeah in which I got /root/.ssh
[16:21] <Blink`> But where is that :p, do I do <ipaddress> then access the directory?
[16:21] <blockchainbro> are you running puttygen in ubuntu?
[16:22] <Blink`> windows
[16:22] <daftykins> disc0very: best to stay in channel so everyone can check sanity + safety
[16:22] <disc0very> daftykins, i'm not using the "casper-rw" file, i'm doing it in the "partition way"
[16:22] <Blink`> Ubuntu came desktop free, so no desktop on that
[16:22] <blockchainbro> then save the key somewhere else that you know where its located... desktop if you want
[16:22] <disc0very> i used to try this method with Elementary OS Freya live and it worked well
[16:22] <disc0very> but i would like to achieve this with Ubuntu :)
[16:23] <blockchainbro> the only reason you are saving the key is for use with putty. so as long as its somewhere you can find it on your windows machine you should be able to use it with putty
[16:23] <daftykins> disc0very: right but that's also in the above link?
[16:23] <boot1> good day may i ask help here
[16:23] <nicomachus> boot1: yes, all in one line please. Use a pastebin if necessary.
[16:23] <daftykins> boot1: yes ask away to the channel with as much detail on one line
[16:24] <daftykins> oops :>
[16:24] <disc0very> daftykins yes
[16:24] <turbo15> !puffolandia
[16:24] <disc0very> but when i add "persistent" parameter to the kernel, the system can't boot
[16:24] <mittsquared> daftykins, hey I tried using dd and then installing automatically but that did not work
[16:24] <Blink`> Speaking of which, blockchainbro - What happens if I mess up the file location? And it directs me to the passphrase - How do I undo that?
[16:24] <SchrodingersScat> pitastrudl: you can't pkill cli ?
[16:24] <blockchainbro> Blink go here: https://vorkbaard.nl/using-putty-and-keyfiles-to-ssh-into-your-ubuntu-12-04-server/ You need to read up some more on how SSH and pub/privkeys work... its a bit complicated of a concept to explain
[16:25] <daftykins> mittsquared: same result?
[16:25] <pitastrudl> SchrodingersScat:  aw aht
[16:25] <disc0very> i try to add some extra kernel parameter to see if it can boot, for example acpi=off
[16:25] <mittsquared> daftykins, yes :(
[16:25] <pitastrudl> i want to kill keepass trough termianl
[16:25] <pitastrudl> terminal*
[16:25] <daftykins> mittsquared: did you poke around in the BIOS to see what's there re: boot order + disk priority?
[16:25] <boot1> does extlinux supports partition installation?
[16:25] <SchrodingersScat> pitastrudl: which seems to be running via cli program
[16:25] <pitastrudl> SchrodingersScat: is that a problem? im confused
[16:26] <mittsquared> daftykins, yeah I did beforehand. It's CD USB HDD FDD USBCD LAN.
[16:26] <SchrodingersScat> pitastrudl: well, if you start it with '/foo/bar/cli keepass.exe' then I would expect you to kill cli to end the process.
[16:26] <disc0very> there are few errors i can see on the screen, when I add only "persistent" to the kernel parameter
[16:27] <disc0very> one of them is related to i8042
[16:27] <daftykins> mittsquared: very strange, last thought is that GRUB isn't installing then perhaps
[16:27] <Blink`> ty blockchainbro - Hit an issue though, entered wrong file destination - so how do i uhh, undo that?
[16:27] <Blink`> Remove hte user then add it again?
[16:27] <blockchainbro> just create a new key
[16:27] <SchrodingersScat> pitastrudl: from your past above: "/usr/bin/cli /usr/lib/keepass2/KeePass.exe", so you are killing cli.
[16:27] <disc0very> anyone achieved running Ubuntu Live from USB with persistent on a Macbook Pro Retina ?
[16:28] <nicomachus> disc0very: will a poll help you?
[16:28] <mittsquared> daftykins, if it helps, I can install SolusOS with no issues. Anything else doesn't work.
[16:28] <nicomachus> !mac | disc0very check through here firs.
[16:28] <nicomachus> first*
[16:29] <disc0very> nicomachus, i've done that, i'm using a 14.04 LTS
[16:29] <Mia> is the daily build unity 8
[16:30] <disc0very> using Elementary OS Freya (which is based on trusty) everything works well
[16:30] <nicomachus> Mia: for what version?
[16:30] <Mia> daily build for 16.04
[16:30] <nicomachus> 16.04 is still Unity 7 by default.
[16:30] <Mia> hm
[16:30] <Mia> will it be 8 when released
[16:30] <nicomachus> but 16.04 questions belong in #ubuntu+1
[16:30] <nicomachus> you can install 8 on any Ubuntu 14.04 and up if you want to try it out.
[16:31] <nicomachus> see here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/447891/how-to-install-unity-8
[16:31] <nicomachus> keep in mind, though, that it's still pre-release and somewhat buggy. I haven't found it usable.
[16:31] <daftykins> disc0very: just so you know elementary is not supported in here
[16:32] <pitastrudl> SchrodingersScat: ah, ok
[16:32] <disc0very> daftykins i know))
[16:33] <pitastrudl> afaik i installed the keepass from apt
[16:33] <pitastrudl> why in the world is it running as .exe?
[16:33] <SchrodingersScat> pitastrudl: seems to use mono, guess that's how they do it.
[16:34] <pitastrudl> oh, ok
[16:34] <pitastrudl> so im not sure what would be the best way to run keepass, one without mono or not
[16:35] <tinyalpha> what is going on
[16:35] <pitastrudl> I DONT KNOW
[16:35] <pitastrudl> ;_;
[16:35] <Myrtti> pitastrudl: AFAIK the mono one is a bit more crossplatformy, ie. the database works better in other systems such as Android
[16:36] <disc0very> i still can't get an idea why "persistent" influence so much the boot on the Macbook Pro Retina
[16:36] <SchrodingersScat> Myrtti: is there a non-mono version?
[16:36] <disc0very> adding nolapic kernel parameter i get to the purple ubuntu screen, but i just see the red dots animation and still can't get into the live desktop env
[16:36] <vdevnull> Guys anyone here running php7 with nginx?
[16:37] <boot1> does extlinux supports partition installation?
[16:37] <soshelp> Guys.I need urgent help.I removed libgtk-3-common since I was told to install libgtk-2 but now the system is not running. It is stuck at http://imgur.com/moTDA9c
[16:38] <Myrtti> SchrodingersScat: yes, but last I checked the database it produces wasn't working with much else than that exact app - things might have changed. The reason I'm using the mono one is that I can rsync+ssh the database to my phone/tablet and it works there too on the apps available for Android.
[16:39] <tinyalpha> spiders
[16:39] <tinyalpha> thats dumb
[16:39] <Myrtti> SchrodingersScat: if synchronization or crossplatform use isn't a selling point for you, then it doesn't much matter what you're using
[16:39] <Myrtti> IIRC the mono version also has better browser integration
[16:40] <tinyalpha> what are you guys doing
[16:40] <Myrtti> but again, I've not checked for a good few years since I've got my KeePass working exactly the way I want it now
[16:41] <red> i just downloaded xchat
[16:41] <red> how do i connect to a server?
[16:41] <daftykins> soshelp: boot a live session, chroot your install and reinstall
[16:41] <daftykins> (the package(s) )
[16:42] <soshelp> can  you elaborate a bit daftykins ? would I be able to recover my files?
[16:42] <soshelp> (i am not too well-versed so asking)
[16:43] <drezequiel> #ezequiel
[16:45] <daftykins> soshelp: you might be able to fix the whole install
[16:46] <soshelp> daftykins: please help. I am freaking out here :S
[16:46] <daftykins> soshelp: http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2010/06/02/how-to-chroot-to-ubuntu-using-live-cd-to-fix-grub-rescue-prompt/ follow up to step 6 there from a live session, booted from USB - then fix it
[16:47] <ernie4chan> 裡面
[16:47] <Mia> does ubuntu have something like explorer
[16:47] <Mia> because sometimes something crashes
[16:48] <Mia> I mean, the top bar and the left launcher is gone
[16:48] <jatt> nautilus
[16:48] <Mia> and the power button is not displaying anything
[16:48] <Mia> so yeah how can I restart that
[16:48] <soshelp> daftykins: bootable usb would work too right?
[16:49] <Mia> how can I restart/start nautilus when it crashes
[16:49] <Mia> the top bar and the launcher crashes from time to time
[16:49] <ernie4chan> typing nautilus in console
[16:49] <daftykins> soshelp: that's what i'm saying
[16:50] <soshelp> daftykins: okay. I am confused about Mount one by one and identify your Ubuntu root partition . will ask when i reach that step
[16:52] <daftykins> no just read up
[16:53] <Mia> hmm looks like my unity crashed, and even with a reboot it's not getting fixed
[16:53] <Mia> any reasons why this might be happening
[16:53] <Mia> I'm on 16.04
[16:53] <disc0very> i'm going to remake the USB drive with UnetBootin
[16:54] <xangua> ! Xenial | Mia
[16:54] <Mia> oh sorry
[16:54] <Mia> sure I!ll ask there
[17:07] <ghostmag> I plugged a HDMI cable in my computer but it doesn't work. "xrandr" shows, that there is no HDMI plugged in
[17:08] <ghostmag> just "disconnected"
[17:08] <daftykins> and on reboot?
[17:08] <ghostmag> Reboot doesn't do it
[17:09] <daftykins> desktop with a graphics card? laptop? what setup here...
[17:09] <daftykins> /var/log/Xorg.0.log will give some evidence
[17:10] <jason__> what is the hdmi plugged into?
[17:10] <ghostmag> Desktop with a graphic card, but I am not sure which. I'll try to find it out
[17:10] <jason__> I mean on the other end?
[17:11] <ghostmag> Ubuntu just says: Gallium 0.4 on AMD JUNIPER (DRM 2.43.0, LLVM 3.6.0)
[17:11] <ghostmag> but I am sure that is about the driver
[17:11] <ghostmag> jason__: my TV
[17:12] <Mia> any way to enable trackpad gestures on mac for ubuntu
[17:12] <Mia> like, define different things for trackpad gestures
[17:13] <Mia> I thought since mac users are kind of common for ubuntu, maybe there is a software solution for that
[17:17] <treg> I can not find a way to install Ubuntu on a dual boot machine (windows) that will allow me to encrypt the linux installation partitions and require a single passphrase to decrypt linux at boot.  I can encrypt individual partitions, but this requires multiple passphrase requests at boot.  Is there a way to do this through the installer, or does it require manual changes after the install?
[17:18] <CRM114> it seems that my upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 failed due to a lot of errors when upgrading texlive
[17:21] <CookieM> mine were quite successful
[17:21] <CookieM> was*
[17:21] <zykotick9> treg: encrypted lvm only requires one password, to unlock multiple partitions
[17:22] <treg> zykotick9: When I use the LVM option it removes my nt partition.
[17:23] <zykotick9> treg: ya...  i don't have any suggestions for that issue... good luck.
[17:26] <soshelp> daftykins: i got access to terminal by modifying config file from grub. I installed libgtk-3-common but still login screen doesnt show up. am i missing any package?
[17:29] <Mia> okay here is a weird case
[17:29] <Mia> I installed ubuntu 16.04 to my brand new ssd
[17:29] <Mia> it worked butt was buggy as hell
[17:29] <Mia> now I wnt to go back to 15.10
[17:30] <Mia> and the installer (usb boot) was working just fine 10 mintues ago, I was ins the installer
[17:30] <Mia> now nothing boots from usb
[17:30] <Mia> it's just black screen
[17:30] <Mia> for every usb I put in (I have 14.04 on usb, 16.10 on usb and)
[17:30] <Mia> sorry 16.04 on usb
[17:30] <Mia> and 15.10 on usb
[17:30] <Mia> none of them even boot from usb any more
[17:31] <CRM114> Mia: do you have any other way of booting
[17:31] <CRM114> ?
[17:31] <BluesKaj> Mia, make sure your USB  boot is first in the boot sequence in your eufi/bios
[17:32] <Mia> Blue1, it's a macbookso I can pick
[17:32] <Mia> but it does not respond to it
[17:32] <Mia> I mean I see the usb drive but can't pick
[17:32] <Mia> I mean I pick but it's just black
[17:32] <Mia> it was working like 30 minutes ago, I installed 15.10 and wanted to try 16.10 and nstalled it, but now I wanted to go back format and reinstall 15.10 again
[17:32] <Mia> now nothing boots from usb
[17:33] <mmkumr> Mia: Do want to say that your usb is formatting
[17:34] <mmkumr> Mia: sorry I mean to say not formatting
[17:34] <CRM114> Mia: can you boot anything at all?
[17:35] <Blink`> Okay, so I copied over the public key and generated a private key
[17:35] <Blink`> But it's still refusing my key?
[17:35] <Blink`> Was I supposed to have generated a public key as well on puttygen?
[17:35] <Mia> well no
[17:35] <Mia> CRM114, I tried to start gparted now, even that, does not start
[17:36] <treg> Mia: Try blowing out your USB slot and ensuring your usb drives are clean.  It could just be dirt in there.
[17:36] <Mia> no I mean I see text in gparted for instance
[17:36] <ouroumov> Blink`, the order in which you described those steps makes me wonder if you pushed a public key that's not linked to your private one.
[17:36] <Mia> but it doesn ot boot into the os
[17:36] <Mia> gparted, for instance, says "failed to find cpu0 device node"
[17:37] <Blink`> That's a good question though ouroumov - but uhh, I thought it'd have been pushed when I logged in via putty
[17:37] <CRM114> Mia: what are you running gparted on?
[17:37] <ouroumov> Also Blink` it might be caused by wrong file / directory modes in your ~/.ssh folder
[17:37] <Benjamin_> Hello
[17:37] <Mia> CRM114, on the same macbook
[17:37] <Blink`> Well, I saved the private key on my local machine
[17:37] <Mia> is there any way I can see the logs as I try to boot from usb
[17:37] <Mia> so that I can tell you what errors it gives maybe
[17:38] <CRM114> Mia: ok, so it's probably not the absolute worst case there
[17:38] <Benjamin_> I have a fresh install of ubuntu 14.04.4, but it keeps freezing after a few minutes for no apparent reason and without any errors. Is there anby log I can check?
[17:39] <Blink`> And uhh, ouroumov - It does say no such file or directory when I try to manually install the public hey
[17:39] <Blink`> key*
[17:39] <jushur> Mia: is it overheating? like how hot is it?
[17:39] <Mia> CRM114, so it booted into gparted now
[17:39] <Mia> pretty hot I should say
[17:39] <CRM114> Benjamin_: dmesg
[17:40] <Mia> jushur, I meant you ^
[17:41] <Mia> hm wait it boots into ubuntu now
[17:41] <Mia> wtf is going on
[17:41] <Mia> I mean sorry about the kind of rude comment
[17:41] <jushur> Mia: if you have a table"fan" put it beside and se if it helps. sounds like its overheating.
[17:41] <Mia> jushur, okay maybe
[17:41] <vdevnull_> hey
[17:42] <vdevnull_> What's the command to pastebin a file
[17:42] <vdevnull_> and what's the package name? to install
[17:42] <jushur> not sure how one would do a cleaning of those, but generaly the blow out port gets clogged with dusts from the inside. and needs cleaning after a few months.
[17:43] <zykotick9> vdevnull_: you can use http://termbin.com/ without installing anything... but i'd guess your thinking of pastebinit
[17:44] <vdevnull_> yes pastebinit
[17:44] <MonkeyDust> gbachotKIjNuGX8yNoyFJkaVHtf
[17:45] <jushur> MonkeyDust: ok, where do you have that pw? /s
[17:46] <MonkeyDust> jushur  my NSA account
[17:47] <Blink`> Meh, let's do this again - How do I delete the sudo I just created?
[17:47] <Mia> one another question
[17:47] <Mia> now that my ubuntu installation boots in back again (15.10) I want to solve this issue
[17:48] <Mia> when I'm restarting, the splash screen works, but when I'm logging in it's just random
[17:48] <Mia> I mean random stuff on screen, not exactly a splash screen
[17:48] <Mia> first purple than black then random image parts
[17:53] <Blink`> Anyone know how to remove a user with root on putty?
[17:53] <Blink`> -d it is, thanks.
[17:54] <MonkeyDust> Blink`  glad i could help
[17:54] <Blink`> <3 :p
[17:54] <Mia> Any help for me ? I need to fix my broken splash screen. It shows purple at first, then black, then lines on a purple, then random image parts all around he screen. When I'm powering of or restarting the logout splash works just fine.
[17:58] <styles> keyboard-configuration is failing on upgrade, it just hanges and Ican't update my system because of it.. any ideas?
[18:01] <CRM114> I've just upgradet my system from 12.04 to 14.04, a bunch of stuff is missing dependencies (mostly kde stuff), plus LaTeX
[18:02] <CRM114> does anybody have an idea what's wrong/how to fix?
[18:03] <Blink`> This is confusing me ¬_¬
[18:06] <virtuosoj> join #fedora
[18:06] <virtuosoj> oops... embarrassing.... XD
[18:07] <Blink`> I have a key that I want to use, but it's not letting me manually enter the public key as it says auth file is not found
[18:17] <virtuosoj> I am trying to request a new package in Ubuntu. Best place to do this is file a bug report on Ubuntu One?
[18:18] <virtuosoj> the package is Brogue, one of the most popular newschool roguelikes

[18:45] <Drexir> how come I vmware player keeps saying I need to update vmware tools to enable 3d acceleration when I've already done that?
[18:46] <nicomachus> Drexir: sounds like a question for the vmware folks.
[18:47] <Drexir> pretty sure out of 2000 people one of them has setup a virtual machine before.
[18:48] <nacc> Drexir: vmware support is offtopic

[18:52] <Mia> hey all, the launcher displays the count of open windows but only in the current workspace
[18:52] <Mia> is it possible to make it work for all workspaces
[18:52] <fedoen> hi, I just connected my bluetooth headphones to my 15.10 desktop, I see them in sound settings but can't select them as default...
[18:54] <matt1_> Hello, is this the place to ask for troubleshooting help for Ubuntu-based Linux distros?
[18:55] <Spider> matt1_, what seems to be the problem?
[18:56] <fedoen> http://pastebin.com/X8drZGhY
[18:56] <MonkeyDust> matt1_  for ubuntu, not for ubuntu-based distros
[18:56] <kostkon> matt1_, which one? we only support official derivatives
[18:56] <fedoen> latest result from cat /var/log/syslog | grep blue
[18:56] <Mia> is it possible to show launcher indicators for all workspaces
[18:56] <WebDawg> I have a system that auto graphical logs in, anyone remember the shortcut key to ask for graphical user and pass?
[18:56] <MonkeyDust> matt1_  what's the output of   cat /etc/issue.net
[18:56] <MonkeyDust> matt1_  what's the output of   cat /etc/issue
[18:56] <Mia> right now the icons show the count of open windows in the current workspace
[18:57] <Mia> like lets assume that I have 5 terminals open in total, 2 of them in worksspace 1 and 3 of them in workspace 2
[18:57] <matt1_> Well this problem is a Linux Mint problem, but no one in #linuxmint-help were able to help me. Basically when I start my computer (I'm using a spare for this chat), I'm taken to Mint's GUI Login screen; I login, but taken to command prompt for 1 sec, then back to GUI login screen, etc etc. Only way to get out of this loop is to Ctrl+Alt+F1 to command prompt. I cannot get to the GUI Desktop
[18:57] <Mia> when I check launcher icon of terminal it shows 3 when I'm in workspace 1 and 3 when I'm in workspace 2
[18:57] <matt1_> I put the problem in detail on Mint's forum: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=218382&p=1143663
[18:57] <Mia> this becomes confusing, is it possible to let it show the count of all open windows
[18:58] <Mia> looking for a solution
[18:58] <MonkeyDust> matt1_  mint is not supported here, you're in the wrong channel
[18:58] <matt1_> I'm sorry, I'll leave
[19:01] <hil> can anyone think of a reason why chromium would be slower than chrome, using same synced account and extensions?
[19:02] <jushur> fedoen: use pavucontrol
[19:03] <fedoen> jushur: I can't seem to get it working
[19:03] <fedoen> jushur:  I can only find my headphones in configuration pane on pavucontrol
[19:05] <fedoen> jushur: output devices only shows hdmi/display port HDMI (I guess that's the video hdmi port) and built-in analog stereo
[19:05] <hi> hello
[19:05] <hi> k1l_, you have banned me i need to aplogize from you
[19:06] <jushur> Guest38874: how about you dont agrevate them any more?
[19:06] <Guest38874> k1l_, i didnt see your message clearly
[19:06] <Guest38874> k1l_, i am here to say excuse me for every thing
[19:06] <Guest38874> just that
[19:10] <Mia> can I install gnome (as an alternative) to my existing 15.10 installation
[19:13] <baizon> Mia: yes
[19:14] <minimec> Mia: You can, but you might have some problems with the environment configuration of your  user afterwards. You might have to reset unity to its default after switching back to ubuntu unity. Maybe ad a new user and test gnome with that new user. Also during installation you will be asked to switch the login manager to 'gdm'. The package to install should be this... http://packages.ubuntu.com/vivid/gnome-desktop-environment
[19:15] <ghostmag> I've got a problem: I am not able to visit every website all the times. Sometimes a few just don't work. I am using Chrome, but it's not a browser related problem. Any suggestions?
[19:15] <Mia> minimec, oh okay, I just succeeded to install unity actually
[19:15] <Mia> maybe I should stick here
[19:15] <Mia> this seems more complicated than I expected
[19:16] <minimec> Mia: You can have both environments installed side by side.
[19:16] <Mia> one main problem that irritates me (and I need to fix) is that I want to see the open window count in the launcher, in a global way
[19:16] <Mia> it now shows the counts on the current workspace only
[19:16] <Mia> I'm sure ther is a setting somewhere to fix this
[19:16] <Mia> I just cna't find
[19:19] <minimec> Mia: There is probably an option for that in unity-tweak-tool... http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&section=all&arch=any&keywords=unity%20tweak%20tool&searchon=names
[19:20] <Mia> minimec, not that I could find (playing with the unity-tweak-tool already)
[19:21] <fedoen> jushur: after a few more tries,  following this guide: http://askubuntu.com/questions/239209/no-sound-from-bluetooth-headset-but-its-detected (all the commands) I finally got the sound working on my headphones, then configuring headphones to a2dp sink in pavucontrol got the sound working, ty for pointing me in the right direction, now enjoying HQ sound :)
[19:23] <ddd> what is the best program to use to setup a nas server on ubuntu server
[19:25] <MonkeyDust> ddd  plenty tutorials, here's one http://askubuntu.com/questions/1266/how-to-set-up-ubuntu-server-as-a-nas
[19:26] <jibiribi> Hello
[19:26] <jibiribi> some Ubuntu experts here?
[19:26] <minimec> ddd: ... and youtube vids... https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=ubuntu%20nas%20installation%20tutorial&oq=&gs_l=
[19:26] <jibiribi> i mean real experts and not just wannabes
[19:26] <MonkeyDust> jibiribi  ask your question and wait
[19:27] <jibiribi> is it possible to have an ubuntu usb stick live system with on boot encryptio
[19:27] <jibiribi> n
[19:28] <jibiribi> so no experts here?
[19:28] <jibiribi> damn :-/
[19:29] <MonkeyDust> jibiribi  you have waited 1.658 seconds
[19:29] <minimec> jibiribi: You can basically do a full installation of ubuntu on a USB stick. I would then mount /tmp to RAM to avoid write cycles...
[19:30] <jibiribi> minimec, okay but whats about encryption
[19:31] <minimec> jibiribi: You can do whatever you want. Note that encyption will slow down the system a little bit, which is probably natable on a USB stick. Use a fast USB3 stick (I like the SanDisk Ultra ones)
[19:33] <jibiribi> the question is how ?
[19:33] <jibiribi> how and with what i can do an secure on boot encryption
[19:33] <minimec> jibiribi: I correct myself. These kind of sticks... 'SanDisk Extreme USB 3.0 Flash Drive - 64GB'
[19:34] <minimec> jibiribi: You will be asked for encryption during installation. Encrypt the whole 'disk', not only the home partition.
[19:34] <jibiribi> really? on ubuntu?
[19:35] <jibiribi> i need no extra programm for the encryption? its included in the installation?
[19:36] <nicomachus> yes
[19:36] <minimec> jibiribi: I you do a fresh installation you should have this option.
[19:36] <MonkeyDust> jibiribi  asketh and thou shalt be answered
[19:38] <jibiribi> what is ubuntu using for this? veracrypt? LUKS? or how is the programm called
[19:41] <explosive> jibiribi: luks
[19:41] <JeCer> Hello
[19:41] <JeCer> What is this?
[19:41] <JeCer> Meson encountered an error in file meson.build, line 6, column 0: Unknown function "import".
[19:41] <jibiribi> explosive is it secure like veracrypt oir truecrypt?
[19:41] <jibiribi> explosive LUKS?
[19:42] <jushur> jibiribi: man cryptsetup
[19:42] <MonkeyDust> JeCer  what's meson? this is ubuntu support, sure you want to be here?
[19:42] <explosive> jibiribi: it uses aes-256
[19:42] <jibiribi> just AES?
[19:42] <JeCer> MonkeyDust: I am compiling via meson
[19:42] <jibiribi> exolisive or can i choose between
[19:43] <MonkeyDust> !info meson
[19:43] <jushur> jibiribi: read the manpage
[19:43] <explosive> jibiribi: just aes
[19:44] <explosive> i think
[19:51] <mintux1> im trying to make .deb package but i would like to know how make /etc/<package name>/config file
[19:51] <ikonia> what do you mean how to make it ?
[19:51] <ikonia> it's just a text file
[19:51] <tnewman> you mean so that it gets put there by the package installer?
[19:51] <mintux1> ikonia: this instruction : http://askubuntu.com/questions/27715/create-a-deb-package-from-scripts-or-binaries/27731#27731
[19:52] <ikonia> not bothered with that set of instructions
[19:52] <ikonia> whats the actual question ?
[19:52] <UbuntuDude> I'm having real hardship and losing too much needed time trying to keep an ubuntu 15.04 pc connect to wifi!!! nothing is wrong from the network side since other PCs stay connected except this one, which diagnostic and monitoring tools can help me find the reason and tackle down this issue?
[19:53] <ikonia> UbuntuDude: first thing is to look at the wireless chipset
[19:53] <ikonia> look for known problems
[19:54] <yeats> UbuntuDude: there are almost always useful messages in the logs (sudo journalctl -a)
[19:54] <UbuntuDude> ikonia: could youp please be more specific on the meaning of (looking at the chipset) ?
[19:54] <ikonia> UbuntuDude: looking at the chipset of your wireless card, and then checking common/known problems with that chipset
[19:54] <ikonia> the syslog will also give you clues as to what's going on
[19:55] <yeats> UbuntuDude: 'lspci | grep -i net' might be a good start
[19:55] <minimec> UbuntuDude: use 'lspci' or 'lsusb' to fond the device you are using. then search the net for some answers..., like 'your device' + 'Ubuntu'
[19:56] <Zta> I'm really looking forward to Ubuntu 16.04 =)
[19:56] <UbuntuDude> thanks guys .. I'll try all the above
[20:01] <Scunizi> Has anyone else found gwenview shows RAW & jpg images from the same image differently with the RAW being much lower rez?  weird :/
[20:03] <terratoma> is it possible to do this with recent ubuntu and recent windows? https://forum.teksyndicate.com/t/dual-boot-windows-8-1-oem-and-ubuntu-14-04-2-lts-with-full-disk-encryption-encrypted-lvm-while-uefi-and-secure-boot-are-enabled/84571
[20:04] <ikonia> the encyption is the same in 15.X ss 14.04
[20:04] <terratoma> i have messed around with guides I have found on the internet about dual boot and windows + ubuntu FDE, never can get it to work right
[20:04] <terratoma> i know its a stupid goal!
[20:05] <terratoma> sometimes I need to use windows though
[20:05] <At84> Hello fellows! I have a question about a problem that I have been trying to find a solution for the past hours.
[20:05] <At84> Is there anyone who would be interested in trying to help me out with it?
[20:05] <ikonia> just ask
[20:06] <terratoma> lol
[20:06] <At84> ikonia, thanks. well, i installed Ubuntu today for the first time cause i thought i'd give it a serious try. but:
[20:06] <At84> apparently, Chrome isnt supported for it anymore.
[20:06] <ikonia> chomeis dead on 32bit
[20:06] <ikonia> chome is
[20:06] <At84> so i downloaded Chromium instead. which works fine.
[20:06] <ikonia> chrome
[20:06] <Mia> I've accidentely set my "windows spread" setting in unity tweak tool to off
[20:06] <Mia> then I turned it back on
[20:07] <Mia> now whenever I use that function, unity crashes and reloads
[20:07] <At84> however...i would like to access the program via the "Run" (alt+f2) menu by just typing "chrome" and not "chromium-browser"
[20:07] <Mia> How can I finx this situation
[20:07] <ikonia> at make a symlink
[20:07] <terratoma> is there a reason you cant install Ubuntu 64 bit ?
[20:07] <At84> so...i've been trying to make a shortcut that points to the "chromium-browser" application!
[20:08] <At84> ikonia, will the symlink be universally accessable?
[20:08] <At84> (by default)?
[20:08] <terratoma> you can do that... but there's going to be some application defaults for your 'web browser'
[20:08] <ikonia> yes
[20:09] <At84> ok, i kind of tried it, but as i am new to the file system, i have a hard time figuring out where the executable is located.
[20:09] <At84> it's not really in /usr/shared/applications, is it?
[20:09] <terratoma> 'which chromium-browser'
[20:09] <phenomenon> Is there a schedule when next LTS is released?
[20:09] <terratoma> at a Terminal
[20:09] <ikonia> which chromium-browser
[20:09] <ikonia> that will show you where it is
[20:09] <At84> thankl
[20:09] <At84> thanks!
[20:10] <At84> symlink = ln -s ?
[20:10] <ikonia> yes
[20:11] <At84> i get "File exists"
[20:11] <At84> so i must have made one earlier that doesnt work
[20:11] <ikonia> what is the command you are using exactly
[20:11] <At84> ikonia, i wrote "ln -s chrome /usr/bin/chromium-browser"
[20:12] <ikonia> use /usr/bin/chrome
[20:12] <At84> i get the same error...file exists, ikonia.
[20:12] <ikonia> ln -sf
[20:13] <At84> permission denied...sudo su?
[20:13] <anurag1018> what are .md files?
[20:13] <minimec> Mia: you might have to reset some components of the unity desktop. according to the following forum thread try "dconf reset -f /org/compiz/" in a terminal. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2218319
[20:14] <At84> minimec, are you referring to my problem?
[20:14] <minimec> At84: Nope.
[20:15] <ikonia> never use sudo su
[20:15] <ikonia> just sudo ln -sf
[20:15] <Mia> oh wow it worked minimec
[20:15] <Mia> thanks!
[20:15] <Mia> you're my savior today
[20:15] <minimec> Mia: welcome... ;)
[20:16] <At84> ikonia, thanks, the command seems to run and all, but i still can't type "chrome" from the Run Application-screen
[20:16] <ikonia> what was the exact command you used
[20:17] <At84> sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/chrome  /usr/bin/chromium-browser
[20:17] <ikonia> try running /usr/bin/chrome
[20:17] <At84> No such file or directory
[20:18] <ikonia> then it didn't work
[20:18] <At84> actually, when i browsed to the directory and ran it from there it says:
[20:18] <yeats> At84: syntax is 'ln -sf <target> <link-name>' - sounds like you reversed them
[20:18] <At84> "chromium" not installed, please install.
[20:18] <At84> hmm, ok yeats i'll try again.
[20:18] <ikonia> so you've done it back to front
[20:20] <yeats> At84: for your future sanity, make sure to delete any symlinks you've created that don't point anywhere :-)
[20:20] <yeats> (ls -l /usr/bin/chrom* might be helpful)
[20:20] <At84> hahaha yeats
[20:21] <At84> "Too many levels of symlinks" - ??
[20:21] <At84> can't delete the file?
[20:25] <At84> ikonia, now the chromium-browser program doesnt work anymore :/
[20:25] <At84> is there a nice way to uninstall/reinstall the program?
[20:25] <At84> like the reverse of apt-get
[20:27] <nicomachus> At84: apt-get purge <package> then apt-get install <package>
[20:28] <nicomachus> there's also apt-get install --reinstall <package>
[20:28] <At84> thanks nicomachus
[20:29] <At84> cool, now it works again, so i'm back on square one.
[20:29] <At84> i can start "chromium-browser" from the Run Applications window again
[20:30] <At84> but it sure would be nice to start it just by typing "chrome"
[20:30] <At84> is there really not a simple way to do that? =)
[20:33] <At84> hmm now it did work
[20:33] <At84> ikonia, thanks a bunch
[20:33] <At84> yeats, thanks to you too
[20:33] <At84> i have a feeling i will be back in this channel
[20:33] <At84> peace out, fellas!

[20:48] <vvein> terratoma: yeah, I'll switch from ubuntu, it starts to be unbearingly annoying

[20:48] <terratoma> vvein: 6 lines from you without asking a question!
[20:48] <explosive> Guest67675: log out and choose the other de, usually somewhere to the right ( top or near your login name )
[20:49] <terratoma> oh i scrollled up, sorry
[20:49] <vvein> terratoma: did you scroll up? :)

[20:50] <vvein> terratoma: terminal
[20:50] <vvein> terratoma: I have ctrl-space defines as escape in my tmux
[20:51] <vvein> defined*
[20:51] <terratoma> current ubuntu ?  older ubuntu ?  maybe you have ibus running.
[20:51] <terratoma> so maybe you dont have an ubuntu specific problem
[20:51] <terratoma> i used to do tricksto get .screenr and emacs working right
[20:51] <terratoma> i gave up, my .tmux.conf is now 1 line long
[20:51] <vvein> 14.04
[20:52] <vvein> haha, nice :)
[20:52] <vvein> hmmm, that may be ibus, I'll check that
[20:52] <terratoma> i dont know.  also i gave up and switched to Sublime Text
[20:52] <terratoma> this link may help you http://askubuntu.com/questions/243639/ctrlspace-has-been-bound-to-invoke-some-input-method-and-does-not-work-in-ema
[20:52] <vvein> YES!
[20:52] <vvein> F**** ibus, I need to get rid of it
[20:52] <vvein> is it important for anything really?
[20:52] <terratoma> i dunno if current Unity even uses ibus at all
[20:52] <metrixx> hey.
[20:53] <metrixx> http://pastebin.com/E0zKzPtT
[20:53] <metrixx> can you check this strace log please? while i am trying to run wireshark on ubuntu 14.04 with X11 forwarding i got fatal error
[20:53] <vvein> terratoma: oh, I'm not on unity. I run fluxbox.
[20:54] <anurag1018> it says a plugin is needed to display this cotent in firefox.What to do?
[20:55] <winston3000> com puedo cambiar la inteface de mi ubuntu
[20:55] <winston3000> ???
[20:55] <MonkeyDust> anurag1018  what plugin does it ask
[20:55] <vvein> hmm, apt-get remove ibus looks scarry
[20:55] <geusebio> Has anyone else had an experience where a working Intel i217v network adaptor has just stopped being able to get an IP address on Ubuntu?
[20:55] <geusebio> It used to work.. now it does not.
[20:55] <terratoma> anurag1018: Flash content ?
[20:55] <MonkeyDust> !es | winston3000
[20:55] <anurag1018> it does not say
[20:55] <anurag1018> maybe flash
[20:55] <terratoma> what do you think it is?  flash? pdf ?
[20:55] <anurag1018> but youtube vids are workig
[20:56] <terratoma> those might be coming to you by html5 video
[20:56] <winston3000> how can I go back to my original interface
[20:56] <winston3000> ?
[20:56] <vvein> terratoma: thank you for helping. You elevate my faith in the community. Thank you!
[20:56] <winston3000> I am usin ubuntu 12.4
[20:56] <nicomachus> winston3000: what do you mean your original interface?
[20:57] <terratoma> i believe Flash is disabled in Firefox, i cant remember.  you can try to turn ir on
[20:57] <minimec> geusebio: Maybe there was a kernel update in the last update. Try to boot an older kernel in the grub menu.
[20:57] <terratoma> https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/enabling-flash-player-firefox.html
[20:57] <geusebio> minimec: Fresh install and a previous install both did this.
[20:58] <terratoma> if i REALLY need flash, i install and run google chrome , which has a sandboxed version of google's version of flash
[20:58] <minimec> geusebio: I see.
[20:58] <nicomachus> terratoma: pepperflash is a nice alternative.
[20:58] <geusebio> minimec: amusingly, I'm online by tethering my phone and using my wifi on that :p
[20:58] <RoundDuckMan> I got an issue, Gnome 3 is a bit laggy-looking even with a dual core i5 and hd 4000 graphics, even though some animations are smooth and the rest of the computer is acting very smooth. Is this a bug with Gnome 3.16's animations?
[20:58] <winston3000> I was trying to change the aparience of my ubuntu 12.4  , and when I finaly did it it looks like kubuntu and now I cant go back
[20:59] <terratoma> winston3000: so at the screen where you enter your User and Password
[21:00] <terratoma> winston3000: there is going to be an option that will let you select the type of desktop environment to use
[21:00] <terratoma> there will probably be a drop in menu that will let you select 'kubuntu' or 'unity' ( i cant remember exact option right now )
[21:01] <Grano> Hi
[21:01] <winston3000> I have looked for that option but i cant find it
[21:02] <craptalk> how can i display such task manager on ubuntu?
[21:02] <RoundDuckMan> I got an issue, Gnome 3 is a bit laggy-looking even with a dual core i5 and hd 4000 graphics, even though some animations are smooth and the rest of the computer is acting very smooth. Is this a bug with Gnome 3.16's animations?
[21:02] <craptalk> to monitor my ram and other system running, and put it on the taskbar
[21:03] <Grano> tommorow i'll have to switch to my skylakes integrated GPU, and i red that <4.3 kernels dont support that GPU
[21:03] <Grano> is that true?
[21:03] <terratoma> winston3000: does your log in screen look like this ? http://news.softpedia.com/images/extra/LINUX/large/installkde48-large_004.jpg
[21:04] <craptalk> hello
[21:04] <RoundDuckMan> terratoma: I got an issue, Gnome 3 is a bit laggy-looking even with a dual core i5 and hd 4000 graphics, even though some animations are smooth and the rest of the computer is acting very smooth. Is this a bug with Gnome 3.16's animations?
[21:04] <craptalk> how can i display task manager on ubuntu?
[21:04] <RoundDuckMan> craptalk: search up system monitor
[21:04] <winston3000> no actually
[21:05] <MonkeyDust> craptalk  there's indicator-privacy
[21:05] <RoundDuckMan> craptalk: search up system monitor
[21:05] <craptalk> is there any additional application to download
[21:05] <terratoma> RoundDuckMan: i dont know.  i use a 6 year old computer.  do you have a nvivida 3d card ?
[21:05] <winston3000> http://news.softpedia.com/images/extra/LINUX/large/installkde48-large_004.jpg
[21:06] <winston3000> that is the way it looks like
[21:07] <Hulio> hi guys
[21:07] <winston3000> hi
[21:07] <Hulio> i am using ubuntu mate
[21:07] <Hulio> i love it
[21:07] <Hulio> love the classic looking
[21:07] <RoundDuckMan> terratoma: no, I only use integrated graphics, well Intel HD 4000 on i5-3360M
[21:07] <terratoma> winston3000: so thats great.  can you select a different desktop environment ?
[21:07] <btech> hello
[21:08] <MonkeyDust> craptalk  try indicator-multiload ... http://www.howtogeek.com/118908/10-awesome-indicator-applets-for-ubuntus-unity-desktop/
[21:08] <terratoma> winston3000: see that 8 pointed circle icon?  click on that
[21:09] <Hulio> where is software market?
[21:09] <Hulio> please some one tell me in ubuntu mate
[21:09] <Hulio> i want to search for software to install
[21:09] <craptalk> Hulio: Ubuntu software center
[21:09] <craptalk> on your system
[21:09] <Hulio> where is that?
[21:09] <Hulio> oh okay
[21:10] <Hulio> i dont' see it in system
[21:10] <Hulio> i am using ubuntu MATE
[21:10] <craptalk> system - administration
[21:10] <craptalk> Hulio: me too
[21:10] <winston3000> I want to show you my screen
[21:10] <RoundDuckMan> terratoma: Other desktops don't have this issue, and even a bit of the GNOME animations are smooth. It's stuff like the activities menu transition and bring up the dock (I use dash to dock) that aren't a perfect 60 FPS. It's not horribly slow, but it's annoying it's not as smooth as the rest of the animations.
[21:12] <terratoma> shuttleworth wants you to use Unity
[21:12] <Hulio> craptalk, i have to install software center :)
[21:12] <Hulio> in the welcome screen :)
[21:12] <craptalk> Hulio: then install it
[21:13] <Hulio> now i got it :)
[21:13] <craptalk> Hulio: or google some good apps to download, google is good
[21:13] <lapyo> google is bad tho
[21:13] <Hulio> google is my friend :)
[21:13] <\9> you generally want to use the repositories if possible though
[21:14] <\9> because then the packages can get updated automatically
[21:14] <lapyo> it's a good search engine but it rapes your privacy
[21:14] <craptalk> lapyo: yeah, notEvil search is good lately
[21:14] <Hulio> craptalk, the reason i asked because i want to install qbittorrent :)
[21:14] <mlvmhn> i get a red warning triangle at the top of my screen, how do i remoce it?
[21:14] <RoundDuckMan> terratoma: I don't know really, be honest with you, I bet this is also in other non Ubuntu distros as well. :/
[21:15] <\9> !info qbittorrent
[21:15] <craptalk> Hulio: there you go, smart ubottu
[21:15] <lapyo> startpage is good enough, it uses google's results but with proxy and without privacy fucking cookies
[21:15] <winston3000> I am very new using ubuntu , I dont even know how to take a prnt screen
[21:15] <vvein> winston3000: you press PrtScr :)
[21:15] <craptalk> lapyo: what is your search engine then?
[21:16] <winston3000> but it seems like it does not work
[21:16] <mrr411> just did partal update and now getting a failed to download repo info message any ideas how to fix this
[21:16] <lapyo> craptalk: I mostly use qwant, startpage, ddg in that order
[21:16] <\9> Hulio: ubuntu mate does not apparently come with a software center by default, so you need to install one from a terminal
[21:17] <\9> Hulio: pop up a terminal and write in it: sudo apt-get install software-center
[21:17] <\9> Hulio: it'll ask for your password to do such an administrative task as installing the software center. after that is done, you should be able to use it from the system menu
[21:18] <craptalk> is there a good IDM for ubuntu? i got it crashing a lot of time
[21:19] <MonkeyDust> what's IDM
[21:20] <craptalk> MonkeyDust: internet download manager
[21:20] <bazhang> !info aria2
[21:20] <bazhang> craptalk, ^
[21:21] <craptalk> bazhang: downloading it now
[21:21] <MonkeyDust> craptalk  btw, indicator-multiload is sweet
[21:21] <craptalk> bazhang: is it integrated into some browsers?
[21:21] <bazhang> try it and see
[21:21] <craptalk> MonkeyDust: is that a direct package name also? so i can install it now
[21:22] <craptalk> bazhang: sure
[21:24] <MonkeyDust> CRM114  yes, apt install
[21:24] <MonkeyDust> that was for craptalk
[21:25] <rickey426> hello
[21:26] <rickey426> hello
[21:26] <craptalk> how can i start aria2? cant seem to open the program?
[21:27] <craptalk> no program shown in the program list and i cant open it thru terminal either
[21:27] <Hulio> craptalk, can i talk personally?
[21:28] <SierraKomodo> Anybody available to help me troubleshoot permission issues?
[21:28] <craptalk> Hulio: yap
[21:29] <SierraKomodo> I've got a folder /var/www/foldername that's is owned by www-data as both group and user; I just ran chmod 775 on the folder, and my user sierra was added to the www-data group. It's not allowing me to create files or folders in this, though.
[21:30] <craptalk> SierraKomodo: you do sudo chown
[21:30] <SierraKomodo> craptalk: There's no reason for me to run that though; It's already set to www-data:www-data
[21:31] <craptalk> SierraKomodo: but still cant do much?
[21:31] <SierraKomodo> drwxrwxr-x 2 www-data www-data 4096 Mar 11 12:29 foldername
[21:31] <SierraKomodo> That's from a ls -al /var/www
[21:31] <SierraKomodo> craptalk: Yes; It's giving me a permission denied error when running a mkdir or touch command
[21:32] <k1l_> SierraKomodo: did you relogin after the group change?
[21:32] <SierraKomodo> I did not/ let me try that
[21:32] <craptalk> SierraKomodo: try 777 instead
[21:32] <potato_farmer> Please don't do 777 on anything.
[21:32] <k1l_> no need for unsecure 777 in the webserver folder. that is just dumb
[21:33] <SierraKomodo> Ok, relogging worked. Note to self: Relog whenever changing your own groups
[21:33] <SierraKomodo> Thanks
[21:33] <k1l_> SierraKomodo: yes, groups and users are only once sorted when logging in.
[21:35] <SierraKomodo> On a side note, I vaguely recall there being something about having 775 being insecure for some reason but I can't remember the details on that.. This was from years ago. Anything to that or was it just someone being paranoid?
[21:36] <MonkeyDust> craptalk  found the indicator?
[21:36] <prastut> Is there any good solution for NVIDIA drivers on Gnome? I seem to brick my system everytime I try to update them
[21:36] <prastut> !help
[21:36] <k1l_> SierraKomodo: the last digit means "everyone".and 7 means read, write and execute. 5 means "just" read and write. write is not that good, too, since that youser could change other data that is then executed by the original user.
[21:37] <metrixx> after i remove a package "dpkg -l" already list that package in the list
[21:37] <metrixx> how can i update the installed packages list?
[21:37] <Hulio> i love Nero linux 4.0
[21:37] <k1l_> metrixx: how did you remove that package and what is the output exactly of dpkg?
[21:38] <Hulio> best burning software
[21:38] <SierraKomodo> k1l_: I do know what each digit represents, I've just never fully understood what the 'proper' values for folders under /var/www is beyond the default, and making it group-writable so that I don't need to fiddle with making www-data a user that I can sftp into
[21:38] <yeats> metrixx: installed packages have "ii" at the beginning of the line - removed packages have "rc" (if I recall correctly)
[21:38] <SierraKomodo> In my experience, setting world to anything other than 5 breaks the server
[21:38] <SierraKomodo> Or just feels like a bad ide sain the case of making it 7
[21:39] <SierraKomodo> idea in*
[21:39] <k1l_> SierraKomodo: some programs even test against world 7 and make an error appear.
[21:39] <metrixx> and why there are so many package tools? apt-get dpkg aptitude?
[21:39] <metrixx> k1l_, i used apt-get remove packagename and it said i removed it
[21:39] <metrixx> k1l_, then it lists like other packages
[21:39] <metrixx> ahhhh
[21:39] <metrixx> i thought "ii" was just a style :)
[21:40] <mvx87> i had mounted 3 other servers via sshfs onto my machine temporarily like this: sshfs root@server1.domain.com:/ /mnt/server1.domain.com, sshfs root@server2.domain.com:/ /mnt/server2.domain.com etc - so i was removing certain files from the servers like rm -rf /mnt/server*.domain.com/home/files/[dir] and long story short i accidentally typed rm -rf /mnt/server*.domain.com/ but i quickly ctrl+c'd
[21:40] <mvx87> so only a second went by. i ran debsums command on all 3 servers and every package came back ok and no files were missing from any system packages.. the only thing i found (from my own manual searching/checking) was that on server1.domain.com /lost+found was missing so i recreated that.. ive got a backup of all 3 servers, but i went ahead and rebooted server1.domain.com and it came back up with
[21:40] <mvx87> no issues. i know it was foolish of me to even mount it as root or do any of this, and it wont happen again but: my question is, should i just be satisfied ? or should i reinstall the box. the command only ran for like a split second.. and it was over sshfs  / wan / internet so it seems like nothing much had the chacne to actually be removed.. i mean if the system came back up from a reboot
[21:40] <mvx87> then it should be fine right? or what would you do
[21:40] <SierraKomodo> Also, k1l_, took a second look at ls-al - It's showing the folder has read/execute with 5, not read/write. Iirc, adding 1 to the number gives read, 2 is write, and 4 is execute?
[21:41] <k1l_> SierraKomodo: sorry i was wrong yes. 5 is read and execute, but not write.
[21:41] <k1l_> 6 is read and write, but not execute
[21:41] <sine0> ok guys, got a friend who has installed ubuntu on his computer and he uses a wifi dongle, the crux is he cant install ndiswrapper. I have ubuntu too.. so i was going to help him. how does one install an ubuntu package when offline? how can i get him to pull it down in windows and then install it, is there an apt-get use-this-package offline version?
[21:41] <mvx87> running ubuntu 14.04
[21:42] <SierraKomodo> k1l_: You have me worried for a moment there I set something up wrong, good to know. xD
[21:42] <SierraKomodo> So why does the world need read/execute permissions, if the webserver's running under a specific user (www-data)? Wouldn't all access to the server through abrowser be under www-data?
[21:42] <k1l_> SierraKomodo: sorry :/  multitasking right now
[21:43] <SierraKomodo> k1l_: I know the feeling
[21:43] <Grano> Sorry for the stupid question but how do i update my kernel to 4.3 on kubuntu?
[21:44] <ikonia> on what version of ubuntu
[21:44] <Grano> 15.10
[21:46] <Hulio> anyone know any 3d games for linux?
[21:46] <Hulio> good quality game high end graphics game?
[21:47] <Hulio> or maybe linux is not really for gaming
[21:47] <bazhang> !steam | Hulio
[21:47] <Grano> Hulio: war thunder ?
[21:47] <bazhang> #ubuntu-steam  <---- Hulio
[21:48] <SierraKomodo> I'd heard about people running some games on linux through the use of wine, and getting good results, but I'm not certain if that's something anyone here would recommend (I don't use wine for gaming personally).
[21:48] <hpp__> I only use wine for wow
[21:51] <mvx87> any advice on my question / situation ? running ubuntu 14.04 : http://paste.debian.net/plain/414650
[21:52] <ikonia> mvx87: you are running debian
[21:53] <MonkeyDust> mvx87  there's also #ubuntu-server
[21:54] <ikonia> no there isn't
[21:54] <ikonia> not for debian
[22:04] <haasn> I want to set up passwordless FDE on a fresh ubuntu 15.10 installation. (The reasoning behind passwordless is that it allows me to switch to using a passphrase or perhaps hardware keychain later on. But I don't want to go through the pain of migrating from plaintext to encrypted / if I want to set that up later). What's the easiest way to accomplish this? I figure I can drop a password file into the
[22:04] <haasn> unencrypted /boot and instruct the initramfs to use it instead of requesting for a passphrase during boot, but I'd prefer a solution that doesn't require manually editing the initramfs if possible
[22:08] <piero> Hi guys! The only machine I have in my home is my PC. I dont have to share my internet connection with any another device. But I have two ethernet adapters, each one connected to a different router of two ISPs. Im trying some balancing, but the far docs I found are written to network administrators configuring dedicated machines to be routers to subnets.. I'm looking for something smaller to my unique computer. Something i perhaps can make with network-manager
[22:08] <piero>  of a few simple rules in iptables do distribute my tcp connections between my links. Do you know an easy way?
[22:08] <terratoma> passwordless FED? what?
[22:08] <terratoma> fde
[22:08] <bazhang> piero try #netfilter
[22:08] <haasn> terratoma: FDE = full-disk encryption
[22:09] <terratoma> yeah i know
[22:09] <haasn> then I'm not sure what you're asking
[22:09] <terratoma> i question your strategy!
[22:10] <piero> thanks bazhang
[22:10] <haasn> Looks like I can mess around with /etc/crypttab to accomplish my goals and have the initramfs pick up on it. (In theorY?)
[22:13] <persali> hello
[22:14] <Hulio> why i can't install lsB?
[22:14] <Hulio> p@p:~/Downloads$ sudo apt-get install lsb
[22:14] <Hulio> why, i can't
[22:14] <Hulio> someon please help me
[22:14] <Blink`> Better to do generate a key via ssh keygen, or puttygen?
[22:14] <Hulio>  epson-inkjet-printer-escpr
[22:14] <Hulio> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[22:15] <ezri> Blink`: it doesn't matter, as long as you use whichever method correctly
[22:16] <k1l_> Hulio: what are you doing there? what ubuntu is that exactly?
[22:16] <Blink`> ezri
[22:16] <Hulio> i am trying to install epson WF-3640 driver
[22:16] <metrixx> hi
[22:16] <Blink`> Sorry, ezri - I assumed if you did it via ssh keygen, it'd be done on "server", whereas puttygen is more secure?
[22:17] <metrixx> i installed ubuntu 15.10  in vmware as virtual machine and it shows some warning messages before graphical login screen... but i can not see them
[22:17] <ezri> Blink`: oh. right, if you're using a Windows client only, you'd want to just use your client's tools, so puttygen, yes
[22:17] <metrixx> how can i stop opening before graphical interface ?
[22:17] <azarus> Hello.
[22:17] <linagee> how does canonical add "partner repositories"? Is there a webpage or someone to contact?
[22:17] <Blink`> Yah, but when I uhh, use puttygen to generate the key, I save the private, I copy the public, but then I have the issue of adding the public key to auth files
[22:18] <Blink`> Any chance you know how to do that ezri?
[22:18] <k1l_> linagee: you can add that in the systemsettings: software and update settings
[22:18] <azarus> I got a question; i'm running Xenial, but i'm trying to install software via PPA that only has support for Wily
[22:19] <ikonia> than don't do that
[22:19] <ezri> Blink`: do you have password-based auth to the ssh server currently?
[22:19] <azarus> Building it myself has failed...
[22:19] <linagee> k1l_: I mean to actually have packages added there. ;-)
[22:19] <k1l_> azarus: that is the problem with running +1 releases.
[22:19] <Blink`> if you mean by root, or the new user I just added to sudo - then yes
[22:19] <k1l_> linagee: ah
[22:19] <azarus> So i should just wait?
[22:21] <ezri> Blink`: okay. copy from the textbox in puttygen that says "Public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized_keys file:", ssh into the server as whichever user you want to use the key with, mkdir .ssh; chmod 700 .ssh; touch .ssh/authorized_keys; chmod 600 .ssh/authorized_keys; nano .ssh/authorized_keys; paste the key from puttygen into the editor, save, and quit
[22:21] <ezri> Blink`: (.ssh and/or authorized_keys may already exist, that's fine)
[22:22] <k1l_> linagee: i would ask in #ubuntu-packaging
[22:22] <azarus> Another question: How do i remove GRUB entries, or, how do i know which one is which?
[22:22] <linagee> k1l_: thanks
[22:23] <Mia> hey all, my ubuntu splashscreen is scrambled
[22:24] <Mia> why can this be? how can I fix this easily
[22:24] <Blink`> ezri -  touch .ssh/authorized_keys; didn't work
[22:24] <Blink`> it should be  vi .ssh/authorized_keys;
[22:24] <Blink`> Shouldn't it?
[22:24] <ezri> elaborate on "didn't work"?
[22:25] <k1l_> Mia: only the splashscreen?
[22:25] <ezri> touch creates the file if it doesn't already exist so that the next step (chmodding it) works
[22:25] <Mia> k1l_, yes only that
[22:25] <ezri> and then after that you'd use nano or vi or whatever to edit it, yes
[22:25] <k1l_> Mia: could be a driver thing.
[22:25] <ezri> ssh is very picky about file permissions, so i like to do that first personally
[22:25] <Blink`> ezri - In that case, touch didn't exec anything
[22:25] <Mia> first it displays a purpe page, then it switchecs to a black page, then it shows a purple page with a black zone on şt, then it's like a loading screen everything scrambled all ver the place. then it boots into ubuntu just fine.
[22:25] <Mia> k1l_, hmm
[22:26] <Blink`> Mind if I PM you ezri?
[22:26] <ezri> Blink`: if it just returned without any output that's fine
[22:26] <ezri> Blink`: i don't do PMs, sorry
[22:26] <Mia> well it works fine when I boot the usb live cd
[22:26] <Blink`> Ah, fair.
[22:27] <Blink`> ezri - In that case. I've gotten to the vi part, entered, and it's turned into a editor sort of thing. I pasted the key
[22:27] <Blink`> How do I save and quit?
[22:27] <k1l_> can i use fancontrol on cli to control a fan that is not pwm?
[22:27] <ezri> Blink`: escape key, then :wq
[22:27] <Blink`> :wq?
[22:27] <ezri> colon key, then w key, then q key
[22:27] <ezri> one after the other
[22:27] <ezri> w means write, q means quit
[22:28] <Blink`> kk
[22:28] <Mia> how can I get the available screen resolution
[22:28] <Blink`> I got the nano command not found btw
[22:29] <Mia> I'll edit the etc/default/grub
[22:29] <azarus> Hm. How do i find out which entries i can delete in grub.d?
[22:29] <ikonia> don't delete things
[22:29] <odroid_vcr> hey guys, running my droid xu4 for the first time, is there any noobie guide i should read?
[22:30] <azarus> Well, which can i make not executable :P?
[22:30] <ikonia> thats not even ubuntu is it ?
[22:30] <odroid_vcr> it is haha
[22:31] <bprompt> hehhe, sounds like Droid phone by motorola
[22:32] <ikonia> no it's an arm platform
[22:32] <SierraKomodo> Quick google search on it shows an ODROID-XU4 that, among other things, can apparently run Ubutnu 15.04
[22:32] <SierraKomodo> Ubuntu*
[22:33] <ikonia> I thought it was a modified build
[22:38] <llamatarianism> I am a complete noob, can someone help me add a menu option for when my PC boots up so I can access windows
[22:38] <llamatarianism> trying to dual boot with linux on an external hard drive, windows on an SSD, and a bunch of random crap in my normal hard drive
[22:39] <ikonia> that is a bad bad config
[22:39] <ikonia> don't do that
[22:39] <llamatarianism> don't have much choice
[22:39] <ikonia> then don't do it
[22:53] <mateus> holy crap yo all
[22:53] <bray90820> Yo yo yo what's up
[22:53] <mateus> im very happy
[22:53] <bray90820> What happened
[22:54] <bray90820> Would this create a directory with the date then CD into it?
[22:54] <mateus> i refiburshed 7 PCS with LUBUNTU n installed 15 ubuntu mate in 15 brand new myself assembled pcs
[22:54] <bray90820> mkdir $(date '+%y-%m-%d') && cd $_
[22:55] <bray90820> Would that create a directory then CD into it
[22:56] <Mia> hey all, when my ubuntu splash displays, and the loading starts, everything except the loading dots disappear after a whil
[22:56] <mateus> im from brazil, im brazucas
[22:56] <Mia> it all becomes black but I can still see the loading dots
[22:56] <bazhang> !ot | mateus
[22:57] <mateus> im using ubuntu mate, its a ubuntu ?
[22:57] <bazhang> !nomodeset
[22:57] <bazhang> mia^
[22:58] <bazhang> mateus, yes, but the channel for chatting is #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:58] <mateus> oh, i figured out now,, tks
[22:58] <bazhang> welcome
[23:06] <gert> I'm assuming this is the chat i can ask my stupid questions
[23:08] <alge> I cant set my Broadcom BCM43228 wifi card to monotoring mode
[23:09] <alge> # airodump-ng mon0
[23:09] <alge> Interface mon0:
[23:09] <alge> ioctl(SIOCGIFINDEX) failed: No such device
[23:13] <k1l_> gert: its for technical ubuntu support :)
[23:16] <nicomachus> alge: which driver?
[23:16] <nicomachus> wl or b43?
[23:16] <Mia> how can I remove splash screen
[23:16] <alge> wl
[23:17] <nicomachus> alge: wl doesn't support monitor mode. you'll have to try using the b43 driver.
[23:17] <alge> trying to install b43 but is totally new with ubuntu
[23:17] <nicomachus> see here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/155528/why-cant-i-set-monitor-mode-with-the-wl-sta-driver-on-a-broadcom-wireless-card
[23:17] <nicomachus> that first answer has all the steps.
[23:18] <alge> thanks for your help! But i've tried that five minutes ago
[23:18] <alge> doesnt understand what i do wrong
[23:19] <Mia> is it possible that nvidia drivers lag in ubuntu but the x.org x server driver is actually lagfree?
[23:20] <alge> b43-fwcutter is already the newest version.
[23:20] <alge> firmware-b43-installer is already the newest version.
[23:20] <Mia> I'm playing with the additional drivers tab of the software & upgrades window
[23:20] <nicomachus> alge: did you unload wl and then load b43?
[23:21] <alge> with sudo rmmod wl (first) and then modprobe b43?
[23:21] <ubuntu-mate> bla bla bla
[23:22] <alge> rmmod wl shuts down my internet connection, and modprobe b43 doesnt change that
[23:23] <vert0let> mate me gusta
[23:25] <Mia> ok I need help
[23:25] <Mia> I've followed this thing to fix my plymouthhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jIegOR6A0M
[23:25] <Mia> now my system lags a LOT..
[23:25] <Mia> I tink I somehow broke gpu drivers
[23:28] <mekhami> when i plug in a USB stick, where does that drive appear in the file system
[23:28] <ouroumov> mekhami, under /media
[23:29] <jushur> mekhami: do "lsblk -f" in a terminal
[23:29] <k1l_> mekhami: see "dmesg" what /dev/ gets associated with it
[23:29] <mekhami> thanks all
[23:31] <mekhami> k1l_: how do i tell what /dev/ it uses
[23:32] <k1l_> mekhami: see "dmesg" after you put that usb drive into the usb slot"
[23:32] <mekhami> k1l_: i did that
[23:32] <squinty> or use the Disks program
[23:33] <mekhami> also there's nothing in /media
[23:33] <k1l_> mekhami: show the output in a pastebin please
[23:33] <mekhami> https://gist.github.com/mekhami/f4d56bb57cefe6acd78d
[23:34] <mekhami> that's the tail end of it
[23:34] <squinty> mekhami,  if you use the Disks program, it ahs all that info at your finger tips
[23:34] <ouroumov> mekhami, so it's /dev/sdb
[23:34] <mekhami> ouroumov: so that's not a directory
[23:34] <mekhami> i'm confused how this works
[23:35] <ouroumov> mekhami, /dev/sdb is your drive, it looks like it has two partitions /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2
[23:35] <k1l_> mekhami: the device is sdb and the partitions are sdb1 and sdb2. but that are the device files. you might want to mount that
[23:35] <mekhami> so this is something i've never been clear on. what does mounting mean
[23:36] <squinty> !mount
[23:37] <k1l_> mekhami: please read this site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount
[23:37] <jushur> ls -la /dev/disk/by-id/*
[23:37] <mekhami> ugh
[23:37] <jushur> lsblk -f
[23:37] <mekhami> k1l_: why is this stuff not written by someone with a proper grasp of the english language
[23:37] <mekhami> very frustrating
[23:37] <k1l_> o_O
[23:38] <mekhami> the third sentence is a horrifice 6th grade level run on
[23:38] <mekhami> s/horrifice/horrific
[23:39] <ouroumov> "In Linux devices are referenced in /dev" ?
[23:39] <mekhami> sorry the next sentence.
[23:39] <nicomachus> mekhami: it's a wiki. edit it.
[23:39] <bray90820> It a symbolic or a hard link like a shortcut in windows
[23:40] <jushur> that page also do not properly handle external devices and how to "properly" mount and unmount.
[23:41] <mekhami> nicomachus: i would if authentication was working.
[23:41] <mekhami> but i try to log into and it's hanging.
[23:42] <dv310p3r> I have a weird issue in 14.04 64bit desktop. I have to internal 3tb drives, they seem to auto mount just fine. They show up on the dock and if I click on them, they show me the contents without issue. If however I try and access them from the terminal before I've clicked on them on the dock, they don't exist. The moment i click on them, boom, they exist and work just fine.
[23:43] <bobdobbs> Hi all. After a reboot, rythymbox doesn't play sound.
[23:43] <bobdobbs> If I select a track and press play, the seek/progress bar moves
[23:44] <SierraKomodo> dv310p3r: Not an expert here, but the shortcuts on the dock probably run a script that mounts the drive if it's not already mounted, before opening it.
[23:44] <marchesini> hi guys. i got a problem when i try to install the kubuntu-desktop on my ubuntu, the apt-get crashed and i can't fix then
[23:44] <dv310p3r> SierraKomodo, so that means they're not automounting
[23:44] <bobdobbs> So a track is "playing", but not sound is being produced. Sound is being produced as normal from my browser, and from mplay
[23:44] <nicomachus> mekhami: then complain on #ubuntu-wiki or whatever the wiki one is
[23:44] <jushur> man udiskctl, man udisks.
[23:44] <dv310p3r> SierraKomodo, Sounds like a legit answer, I'll go down that path.
[23:44] <SierraKomodo> dv310p3r: I may be wrong, but that'd be the first thing I'd look at
[23:44] <dv310p3r> SierraKomodo,
[23:44] <dv310p3r> SierraKomodo, thanks
[23:44] <marchesini> how can i fix the apt-get if the command "apt-get install -f" don't work?
[23:44] <SierraKomodo> dv310p3r: Np.
[23:45] <k1l_> marchesini: put all the output into paste.ubuntu.com
[23:45] <marchesini> k1l_: ok.
[23:46] <dv310p3r> SierraKomodo, did an fisk -l, drives aren't mounted
[23:46] <mcphail> dv310p3r: internal drives are not automounted by default. The expectation is you will add them to /etc/fstab if you always want them mounted (or get the Ubuntu installer to do it for you as part of the install process)
[23:46] <vdevnull> Hello people how i can change folder user permission
[23:46] <vdevnull> ?
[23:47] <bobdobbs> I get sound from clementine, but on clementing the controls are generally unresponsive most of the time. So I can play tracks, but not pause or step them or control the volume.
[23:47] <SierraKomodo> dv310p3r: Well you're already beyond what I'd know without having to pummel google with search queries; At least you're looking in the right direction now by the sounds of it
[23:47] <STxAxTIC> Question: On Ubuntu, with wicd installed, what is the equivalent to "ipconfig" that tells me my local IP address? (my router won't say)
[23:47] <marchesini> k1l_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15367822/
[23:47] <dv310p3r> mcphail,
[23:47] <k1l_> vdevnull: "chmod" and "chown"
[23:48] <dv310p3r> mcphail, the Disks utility says that they're setup to auto mount.
[23:48] <SierraKomodo> STxAxTIC: ifconfig
[23:48] <dv310p3r> mcphail, should I do fstab anyway
[23:48] <squinty> STxAxTIC,  or  ipp
[23:48] <STxAxTIC> SierraKomodo:  TY!
[23:48] <squinty> STxAxTIC,  or ip
[23:48] <STxAxTIC> ty squinty
[23:48] <k1l_> marchesini: what ubuntu version is this and is the kde stuff from a PPA or .deb package or from the original ubuntu repo?
[23:49] <marchesini> yep, i running the ubuntu dev 16.04 beta 1.
[23:49] <k1l_> marchesini: for 16.04 #ubuntu+1 is the channel
[23:49] <marchesini> tk
[23:50] <mcphail> dv310p3r: I suspect what the disk utility means as "automount" isn't what you or I would call "automount"
[23:50] <vdevnull> k1l_ Let's say i've /var/www/html folder. i want my current user with name 'xx' to have permission there
[23:50] <k1l_> marchesini: but you might want to ask in #kubuntu (dont know if they have a +1 channel)
[23:50] <vdevnull> sudo chown xxx:www-data /var/www/html
[23:50] <vdevnull> ?
[23:50] <k1l_> vdevnull: then dont change the permissions of the folders
[23:50] <k1l_> vdevnull: put user xx into the www-data group
[23:52] <dv310p3r> mcphail, yeah, I should have looked into fstab sooner, I know better, just did, nothing, drives aren't in there. I figured that the utility was modding the file for me, it isn't. I'm guessing it's used for people new to linux and for ease of use.
[23:52] <ouroumov> k1l_, is using "newgrp" command the only way to access files that are not in your primary group?
[23:52] <dv310p3r> mcphail, SierraKomodo thanks a million
[23:52] <SierraKomodo> dv310p3r: Np
[23:55] <vdevnull> How do i list all groups?
[23:55] <ouroumov> cat /etc/group
[23:57] <marchesini> guys, i need repair the apt-get application, what command i run to rollback a app install when the "apt-get install -f" isn't sufficient
[23:57] <k1l_> ouroumov: you mean without relogin?
[23:58] <ouroumov> k1l_, no, I mean it's been my experience that if I create a workgroup to share files with an user on a given machine, and add myself and the user to the group, we can't profit from group permissions until our effective gid is set to that of the group using the newgrp command.
[23:59] <ouroumov> Cause the effective gid is by default the one created with the same name as the user
