[00:00] <casy> Blakes5, yes i used it yesterday but now and it work properly
[00:03] <Blakes5> casy see if it's still detected in lsusb
[00:03] <Blakes5> casy then do everything else I told you and see what you find in dmesg
[00:03] <casy> Blakes5, ok
[00:03] <rexwin_> I have to run everything with sudo command. is there a way to avoid this?
[00:04] <scalper> i get an uncompression error when i boot from my usb stick, is it possible to make a clean install from another way then booting from usb stick, by opening anything from ubuntu to adjust schrub or something to uncompress anything on a different place
[00:04] <rexwin_> sudo: cd: command not found
[00:04] <bekks> rexwin_: commands requiring root privileges have to be run using sudo.
[00:05] <bekks> rexwin_: and sudo cd is expected to be not working.
[00:05] <rexwin_> how to then cd to another directory
[00:05] <bekks> use cd without sudo.
[00:05] <k1l_> rexwin_: that sounds awkward. what are you doing there?
[00:06] <k1l_> rexwin_: sudo is like a unlocked gun. only use it when you really need it.
[00:06] <rexwin_> that is a pain
[00:06] <\9> cd is terminal syntax and not an actual command which is why sudo cd isn't working anyway
[00:06] <k1l_> rexwin_: what did you do?
[00:06] <bekks> rexwin_: what is a pain?
[00:06] <rexwin_> cd /root
[00:07] <rexwin_> pain to type everything
[00:07] <bekks> rexwin_: sudo -i   then run cd /root
[00:07] <k1l_> rexwin_: just do "cd". that should you bring back to your users homw
[00:07] <xangua> rexwin_: what are you actually trying to do?
[00:07] <rexwin_> Permission denied
[00:07] <\9> why do you need to access /root?
[00:07] <rexwin_> I want to see what is in that folder
[00:07] <\9> there's nothing in there
[00:07] <\9> try for instance
[00:07] <\9> sudo ls /root
[00:07] <k1l_> rexwin_: can you copy your prompt?
[00:08] <bekks> \9: sudo ls is pretty pointless.
[00:08] <rexwin_> yes, I suppose so
[00:08] <\9> bekks: not if you're trying to access /root, which normal users cannot see
[00:08] <k1l_> stop using sudo!
[00:08] <\9> see into*
[00:09] <bekks> \9: sudo -i; then cd /root
[00:09] <rexwin_> also I able to run commands that send email but when I run it from another directory it doesn't run as expected?
[00:09] <\9> bekks: i guess.
[00:09] <Blakes5> casy did you find anything in dmesg that indicates a problem?
[00:09] <k1l_> rexwin_: send mail?
[00:10] <bekks> rexwin_: so what are you doing there? besides sending email.
[00:10] <rexwin_> ~/test.sh run fine and send send email but when I move to another folder like /secbat/test.sh it doesn't run properly
[00:11] <Rochvellon> After a hard reset the tray icon from Dropbox doesn't apear anymore. Instead there is only a image not found icon. Reinstalling and deleting the profile doesn't help. Using XFCE. Any ideas?
[00:11] <bekks> rexwin_: so how does that involve using sudo?
[00:12] <squinty> rexwin_, did you make /secbat while using sudo mkdir ?  maybe a permissions problem
[00:13] <bekks> squinty: sudo mkdir is irrelevant to this problem.
[00:14] <bekks> squinty: default UMASK is 0022, so the directory would still be accesible.
[00:14] <bekks> using sudo at this point is just nonsense.
[00:15] <rexwin_> this is specifically happening in crontab
[00:15] <squinty> bekks,  never told him to use sudo
[00:16] <bekks> rexwin_: explain what you are doing there.
[00:17] <bekks> and why you are using sudo in crontab.
[00:17] <rexwin_> ~/MARUTItest.sh runs fine and sends an email but /secbat/MARUTItest.sh does run but doesnot send an email
[00:17] <flagreaux> I just installed Ubuntu with an encrypted drive. When I boot up the computer, it skips the boot selection menu, and goes straight to asking for the crypto password. But if I reboot when I get to the password screen, on the next boot it *does* go to the boot selection menu; but then after the boot selection menu there's no password screen, the screen just stays blank, but if I type in my password (to a blank screen) it boots Ubu
[00:17] <flagreaux> ntu anyway
[00:17] <flagreaux> Does anyone know what might be causing this?
[00:17] <rexwin_> I never use sudo for crontab -e or -l
[00:18] <squinty> Rochvellon,  might want to check Autostart applications to see if Dropbox is be started at bootup
[00:18] <bekks> rexwin_: start. explaining. your. actual. issue.
[00:19] <Rochvellon> squinty: yes, Dropbox is autostarting
[00:21] <fholmes> I am trying to get ceph 0.94 installed on Ubuntu 14.04.  It keeps attempting to install 0.80 though and it is driving me nuts.  I have the official ceph repository installed that gives 0.94 and I also attempted to install the cloudarchive kilo repository which has 0.94 available as well.
[00:22] <rexwin_> ~/MARUTItest.sh runs fine and sends an email but /secbat/MARUTItest.sh does run but doesnot send an email
[00:22] <fholmes> Is there a way to block the 0.80 package completely?  Even if I do ceph=0.94 the package is failing to install.
[00:23] <bekks> rexwin_: explain why you are using sudo at that point.
[00:23] <rexwin_> I am getting TVSMOTORtest.sh: line 4: [: -lt: unary operator expected but when I move that file into ~ folder it runs fine?
[00:23] <bekks> rexwin_: fix your script, at first instance.
[00:23] <rexwin_> because I can't edit anything
[00:24] <bekks> not a sudo problem at all.
[00:24] <rexwin_> script runs finewhen in ~ folder /home/ubuntu but doesnot run elsewhere
[00:24] <bekks> rexwin_: so fix that script.
[00:25] <k1l_> rexwin_: please seriously think about file and owner permissions and stop running script blindly with sudo
[00:27] <flagreaux> OK, I think my issue is related to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1359689
[00:27] <razer28> has anyone ever seen this before ------------> /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lnl-genl-3 ????
[00:27] <flagreaux> Severity "critical", and there's no fix or workaround a year and a half later
[00:27] <flagreaux> Jesus Christ
[00:28] <flagreaux> I know Ubuntu is free, but I'd happily pay for everything to not be so buggy
[00:29] <Blakes5> flagreaux, there's always windows. Personally, I'm moving away from that tattletech.

[00:56] <sansai> ahoi. I just tried to cp -R a directory on a USB device under ubuntu 14.04 and after a short while the whole device got unmounted and the dmesg looks scary to me. http://paste.ubuntu.com/15411895/ - the device is still plugged in/charging, is there something I should do before I unplug it?
[01:00] <nacc> sansai: you should make sure to run sync a few times (just to be safe) and see if you can cleanly eject it
[01:01] <nacc> and then make sure to run fsck on it
[01:01] <nacc> sansai: that's at a minimum, i suppose
[01:01] <k1l_> sansai: "sync" will close all writing processes.
[01:02] <k1l_> sansai: but that look more like the usb device is somewhat broken
[01:03] <sansai> thanks. I cant see the device any longer, so don't think I can eject it
[01:04] <sansai> sync ran without problems
[01:09] <casy> Blakes5,  i just try the lsusb command and the dmesg|grep <deviceName> and it gave no error
[01:15] <squinty> casy,  did you use that command with "deviceName" or wlan0 (or whatever your device is); it should be the latter one
[01:16] <casy> squinty, i used the device ID gotten from the lsusb command
[01:18] <squinty> casy: ok just double checking (sometimes newbies use "deviceName" etc)
[01:19] <luren> anyone here ?
[01:19] <casy> squinty, ok.. i did the right thing. Can u help me out
[01:19] <casy> luren, yes
[01:19] <luren> there is some error on my vps.... could somebody help me?
[01:20] <squinty> !details
[01:20] <luren> wait..
[01:21] <luren> when I type service ssh restart. shell tell me /usr/bin/service no such file
[01:21] <k1l_> luren: what ubuntu is that exactly? "lsb_release -d" will tell
[01:22] <luren> it is centos7
[01:22] <squinty> lol
[01:22] <k1l_> luren: then obviously ask the centos support.
[01:22] <luren> Hhhhh
[01:22] <luren> o, mybe wrong place
[01:22] <imrekt> luren: #centos should help you
[01:22] <luren> thx
[01:23] <imrekt> np
[01:23] <luren> hope you have a good day :D
[01:24] <imrekt> You too :D
[01:36] <sansai> fsck -a found so many problems with weird filenames, shared clusters etc. on the usb device; then the device was again ejected from usb before it could finish. interestingly the device seems to run fine from that boot disc. fsck.fat cannot be mistaken?
[01:37] <eNull> sansai lol i thought its f***. I need sleep 36hr no sleep
[01:38] <sansai> yes dont ban me for saying "fsck"
[01:38] <ZeloZelos> sansai, are you booting with the usb you are scanning? maybe you can boot another live system and run it on it from there and it won't dismount

[01:59] <AEL-H> Why can I not see the output of
[01:59] <AEL-H> 'gnome-terminal -- command "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"
[01:59] <AEL-H> and how can I change it so that I can see the output?
[02:01] <vervet> AEL-H: are you trying to open a new term window and execute that?
[02:02] <AEL-H> vervet: So I set up a launcher shortcut to update&upgrade, and I just want to check it is working
[02:02] <kahue> hello bros
[02:02] <kahue> I need some help
[02:02] <AEL-H> so I right click on terminal and select "update and upgrade" and it will run the command as above
[02:02] <kahue> to speed up my ubuntu netbook
[02:02] <kahue> can someone help me pls?
[02:02] <AEL-H> What happens is a prompt comes up asking for sudo password -- terminal window then closes so I want to be able to test what is going on
[02:04] <vervet> AEL-H: I can't test for gnome terminal, but on lxterm i can run it as: lxterminal -e "bash -c '<< command >>; sleep 1m'"
[02:06] <AEL-H> vervet: Ok thanks for the advice, do you have any idea why it is not showing output though?
[02:08] <vervet> AEL-H: even when you call with bash/other shell you get no output?
[02:09] <AEL-H> vervet: I haven't tried that, I am sure that would work I am just trying to figure out why in this particular case no output is being shown
[02:12] <vervet> AEL-H: gotcha, just a hunch -- it's like when you're calling scripts you have to specify the interpreter to run the script
[02:12] <vervet> AEL-H: and I can confirm the same behavior on a different terminal
[02:13] <AEL-H> vervet: Ah thanks, that makes sense
[02:14] <vervet> AEL-H: np
[02:27] <pezdespenser> Hi my software updater says
[02:27] <pezdespenser> This requires installing packages from unauthenticated sources.  how can I fix this?
[02:29] <gr33nbits> check your repository and see what you added there that you don't trust
[02:29] <nxcsa> exit
[02:29] <pezdespenser> really I have no idea, wont let me update anything else without resolve
[02:29] <nxcsa> lol
[02:30] <gr33nbits> check on system definitions/updates and programs then on the repository part
[02:30] <bobbie> hi does anyone know if the ffmpeg insecurity vulnerbility has been fixed for 15.10?
[02:32] <dannymichel> What's the recommended way to partition for Ubuntu after you've already installed windows on a full SSD? Using GParted or some other way?
[02:32] <vervet> pezdespenser: run an apt-key update
[02:32] <pezdespenser> vervet:  none were updated or changed running the command
[02:35] <vervet> pezdespenser: then like gr33nbits said i'd check the sources/repo
[02:35] <Bashing-om> pezdespenser: Show us in a pastebin ' sudo apt update ' so we see the error and in context .
[02:38] <pezdespenser> i think this is the problem

[02:39] <k1l_> !register | bobbie
[02:40] <bobbie> thanks

[03:12] <goddard> anyone using tmux-resurrect?
[03:13] <Kris_> I'm just downloading ubuntu having little experience with it
[03:13] <Kris_> any suggestions on things I can do with it?
[03:14] <goddard> Kris_: everything
[03:14] <davido> That's like asking what you can do with a gallon of gas.
[03:14] <Kris_> sounds like a good place to start
[03:15] <Bashing-om> Kris_: Up to you, the world is now your oyster .
[03:15] <Kris_> yeah I realize it was a very open ended question.
[03:15] <Kris_> SO I'm getting into network administration on the linux side. I have some experience on the windows side
[03:15] <davido> Well, I can say that I use linux pretty much exclusively now except for tablets/phones.
[03:16] <Kris_> I just recently in the past 2 years started Mac, before that I was all windows
[03:16] <davido> I'm a software developer, our entire stack is linux all the way down.
[03:16] <Kris_> Yeah I'm trying to get into software development too
[03:16] <Kris_> I've taken Python/C/C++ classes in college
[03:16] <davido> Well, those are applicable to Linux as well.
[03:17] <davido> ubuntu 15.10 ships with Python 2.7.10, but most serious python devs set up their own installation configured how they want it, and leave "system Python" alone.
[03:18] <Kris_> What are your thoughts on Python 3 vs 2?
[03:18] <Kris_> And what is the purpose of customizing a separate install
[03:18] <davido> Two different dialects based on the same language.
[03:19] <IdleOne> Kris_, davido, could you please move the offtopic chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic. Thank you.
[03:19] <davido> :)

[03:45] <Detroit> Hi folks, a buddy of mine who likes *old software* persists with a Raring Ringtail box he wants to upgrade to the php5-* packages. Obviously, the official repositories have been unavailable and Ubuntu 13.04 reached End of life on January 27th, 2014.
[03:46] <Detroit> Are there known, trusted, mirrors of the official repository?
[03:46] <cspack> Rochvellon: yw
[03:52] <cspack> dannymichel: you can use gparted or windows disk manager to shrink your windows partition
[03:57] <xangua> Detroit: no, he should upgrade, if he likes a "vintage"look check Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu mate
[03:57] <Detroit> xangua, obviously you're absolutely right.
[03:57] <Detroit> If anybody knows of a mirror for Raring Ringtail still available, please let me know.
[03:59] <dax> !eolupgrade
[03:59] <dax> archived repository mirrors are mentioned on the second link
[04:00] <Detroit> dax, thanks life saver!!
[04:00] <xangua> He won't be able to install updated and supported software obviously
[04:01] <Detroit> understood
[04:01] <Detroit> basically he's getting an 'aptitude update ; aptitude upgrade' and then a swap from PHP v5.4 to PHP v5.5.
[04:01] <Detroit> Once his app checks out alright, then its going to be good-bye Raring Ringtail, hello "SUPPORTED" version of the operating system.
[04:08] <gustavo_> Only Google Chrome opened, the Ubuntu is using swap, why ?

[04:18] <gustavo_> pendleton, http://pastebin.com/7Cjq3J01
[04:20] <pendleton> gustavo_: well not using swap now :) but in terms of overall mem. use, i have seen that behavior with chrome/ium on linux in general
[04:20] <pendleton> gustavo_: in fact i use FF now because of it
[04:20] <dannymichel> guess ill just use GParted. always have

[04:54] <ZPQ> morning
[05:04] <misc--> hello
[05:09] <locksmith> sup
[05:09] <jak2000> i want every 8 minutes execute a script, from 20pm to 8am in the crontab: 0,8,16,24,32,40,48,56 20-8 * * 1-7 /usr/scripts/respsql2.sh   <---- not work, why?
[05:09] <misc--> not much. Quiet dya
[05:09] <misc--> day rather
[05:11] <misc--> jak2000: what time is 20pm? 8pm?
[05:11] <misc--> oh yeah, I see
[05:12] <jak2000> wich i rong?
[05:12] <jak2000> *wrong
[05:12] <misc--> well for a start, you can replace 1-7 with just *
[05:12] <locksmith> What do you call a chinese guy with a video camera?
[05:12] <misc--> second, make sure /usr/scripts/respsql2.sh is executable (chmod +x /usr/scripts/respsql2.sh)
[05:13] <jak2000> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 565 Mar 14 01:07 /usr/scripts/respsql2.sh
[05:13] <jak2000> third?
[05:13] <locksmith> phil ming
[05:14] <misc--> third, this accomplishes the same thing: */8 20-8 * * * /usr/scripts/respsql2.sh > /tmp/log.txt 2>&1        <--- makes it so that it catches all errors (perhaps it's running, but failing in the script)
[05:15] <misc--> and finally... I guess... restart cron. I've noticed sometimes when you modify with crontab -e or whatever, changes don't take affect until service cron restart
[05:18] <jak2000> how to restart?
[05:18] <misc--> service cron restart
[05:19] <pcarrier> I seem to run into this issue pretty predictably:

[05:50] <RJ45> please help me, I am at my witts end, I am trying to get Nvidia drivers to work on a laptop but when I boot I get a black screen, I have tried various edits to the xorg.conf but nothing has worked, and now I can't even ctrl-alt-f1 x_x
[05:51] <RJ45> I have been at this for 6 straight hours trying everything I can find, even tried re-installing the whole OS and starting over
[05:51] <hateball> RJ45: What version of Ubuntu are you using, what GPU is this, which driver version, and how did you try installing it?
[05:52] <chenchacha> wear new theme
[05:54] <RJ45> Xubuntu 14.04.4, Geforce 950M, driver 352 from the apt-get repo
[05:55] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: did you try 352-updates aswell?
[05:55] <RJ45> yep
[05:55] <lotuspsychje> no luck?
[05:55] <RJ45> nope
[05:55] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: tested higher ubuntu versions, 15.10 or 16.04?
[05:55] <RJ45> and I've also tried to just run Nvidia's .run installer, but it just pins the CPU at 100% and hangs
[05:56] <RJ45> lotuspsychje: that I have not done no, is it worth a shot?
[05:56] <RJ45> I did try apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:57] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: well if in your case, tested all drivers didnt work, would be worth installing fresh, not upgrade
[05:57] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: just to test, if drivers perform better there
[05:57] <hateball> RJ45: try using this PPA https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
[05:58] <jak2000> misc--: http://pastebin.com/PE34Nykg
[05:58] <jak2000> not know why
[05:58] <hateball> RJ45: Rather than nvidias installer, that is. I am using the 361.28 driver, while beta it's alright
[05:58] <jak2000> why not executed?
[05:59] <RJ45> ugh I am so tired, I have been trying everything I can think of and find on forums for the past 6 HOURS! >.<
[05:59] <hateball> RJ45: Did you try the PPA drivers?
[05:59] <hateball> RJ45: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-361
[06:00] <hateball> that's a oneliner that'll grab it
[06:00] <RJ45> hateball: wouldn't the pps drivers be the same as the ones from apt-get ?
[06:00] <hateball> RJ45: the regular repo does not have the 361.28 driver. It might be your chipset is too new for the 352 driver to work properly
[06:01] <RJ45> I highly doubt that, this isn't exactly a bleeding-edge laptop
[06:02] <misc--> jak2000: is there a /tmp/log.txt file?
[06:02] <hateball> RJ45: Do as you please :)
[06:04] <RJ45> I want to destroy this laptop, but I paid £650, so that ain't happening
[06:06] <jak2000> misc--: not
[06:08] <misc--> jak2000: to make sure your cron is actually working, I would do the simplest of simple entries: 0,8,16,24,32,40,48,56 * * * * /usr/scripts/respsql.sh
[06:08] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: you cant destroy a laptop with testing drivers
[06:09] <misc--> jak2000: that way, it should work on the 8th minute of any hour on any day. The "hour" part may be confusing it, the "20-8" part. I'm not sure if you can have a cron entry that crosses days like that. Although in your pastebin, you have it as 8-20 which should work
[06:10] <RJ45> lotuspsychje: I meant physically
[06:10] <RJ45> actually I just want it to work, and I just want to sleep :(
[06:10] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: an easy test would be testing other ubuntu version in live
[06:11] <RJ45> I need Xubuntu though, Xubuntu currently only has 14.04.4 LTS
[06:13] <RJ45> I am sure there's probably some sort of weird xorg.conf line that would fix this, but I have tried all the xorg.conf edits I can find on forums
[06:13] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/
[06:13] <RJ45> anyone know any edits worth trying?
[06:13] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: xorg shouldnt be edited anymore
[06:13] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: a driver should work or not
[06:13] <RJ45> lotuspsychje: yeah, notice how the LTS there doesn't got higher than 14.04.4
[06:14] <RJ45> which is what I'm using
[06:14] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: if you press on the 32/64bit torrent there is 15.10
[06:15] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: or daily xubuntu 16.04: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/daily-live/current/
[06:15] <RJ45> 15.10 is not LTS
[06:15] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: i never said so
[06:15] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: i said, its worth for your hard to test out
[06:15] <lotuspsychje> card
[06:15] <RJ45> *sigh*
[06:16] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: your choice, try beta drivers from hateball, make a new bug on 14.04 or testout higher ubuntu versions
[06:18] <RJ45> I might try and see if I can get Debian working instead, I'd rather not though
[06:26] <misc--> brb
[06:30] <chenli> hello, anyone can help me ?
[06:30] <chenli> I try to install ovs from source code on 14.04.4 LTS, kernel is 3.13.0-83-generic, I get an error when do the compile : http://paste.openstack.org/show/491038/
[06:30] <chenli> there is no error when I do the same thing with kernel  3.19.0-25-generic
[06:30] <chenli> anything I should do to solve the issue ?
[06:31] <ouroumov> chenli, did the ./configure step run properly?
[06:31] <lotuspsychje> chenchacha: openvswitch?
[06:31] <lotuspsychje> chenli: ^
[06:31] <chenli> ouroumov: yes! I believe so
[06:33] <ouroumov> chenli, looks to me that it's a problem with the code you're compiling, do ovs have a support channel?
[06:33] <chenli> lotuspsychje: yes! Actually I'm using the openstack devstack doing the installation...
[06:33] <lotuspsychje> chenli: why not install the one from repos?
[06:33] <chenli> ouroumov: y, there is a channel openvswitch... no one answers me...
[06:33] <lotuspsychje> !info openvswitch-switch | chenli
[06:34] <chenli> lotuspsychje: o.. let me have a try on openvswitch-switch.. thanks!
[06:35] <mshadle> i'm running in an openvz container, it was ubuntu 14.04, other providers are okay, but certain providers won't support ubuntu 15.10 - it boots but doesn't seem to have a working init/pid 1
[06:35] <chenli> ubottu: lotuspsychje  the openvswitch-switch channel is empty....
[06:35] <RJ45> okay, I have purged nvidia-355-updates I can now actually get to the desktop again, but I still need this 950M to work, so what should I try now?
[06:36] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: we already pointed you serveral options to try mate
[06:36] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: if your not happy about current performance on driver= bug
[06:37] <RJ45> I'd be happy with the performance if it even did anything at-all whatsoever
[06:42] <mgor> RJ45, jumping on a bit late here, but do you have an UEFI install? don't know if it has changed, but previously the nvidia drivers did not work on UEFI systems, resulting in a black screen
[06:48] <RJ45> mgor: no I disabled UEFI
 RJ45: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-361
[06:49] <RJ45> ..just tried it, now I'm back to square one with a black screen
[06:49] <RJ45> yaaay.. ¬_¬
[06:49] <hateball> RJ45: Do you still have a xorg.conf ?
[06:49] <mgor> RJ45, ok, then I'm out of ideas :)
[06:50] <RJ45> I regenerated it with sudo nvidia-xconfig
[06:50] <RJ45> mgor: thx anyways :)
[06:52] <RJ45> I REEEALLLY want to get this working on Xubuntu 14.04.4 specifically, I have already invested a-lot of time into it, and besides this nvidia crap everything else works perfectly on this weird laptop
[06:53] <RJ45> hateball: any ideas?, maybe you know some xorg.conf hacks I could try?
[06:54] <RJ45> I can get a tty
[07:04] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: your card is optimus right
[07:04] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: did you install nvidia-prime?
[07:06] <RJ45> I don't think it's Optimus, it's a Geforce 950M
[07:07] <RJ45> and no I havn't tried nvidia-prime, should I? what does it do?
[07:07] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: 950m is a laptop card right
[07:07] <RJ45> yep
[07:08] <RJ45> this is a pain in the ass laptop :/
[07:08] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: so your card has optimus technology you need nvidia-prime
[07:08] <lotuspsychje> !info nvidia-prime
[07:08] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: you need it, to set your card to performance mode
[07:08] <RJ45> I didn't know anything about this, why the heck couldn't I find anything anywhere that mentioned this?, I looked at everything o_O
[07:09] <RJ45> I guess I'll try it
[07:09] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: in combination with the right driver of course
[07:09] <hateball> hybrid gpus need to diaf
[07:09] <RJ45> okay BRB, gonna apt that -get :P
[07:10] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: you can set performance enabled with nvidia-settings if things worked out good
[07:12] <RJ45> AND YET AGAIN, that didn't do a dog-darn thing
[07:12] <RJ45> still a black screen on reboot
[07:13] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: like i said, it needs the right combo with a working driver
[07:13] <RJ45> what driver would that be?
[07:13] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: and if you dont get the default ubuntu drivers to work= bug
[07:13] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: the one working best for your system
[07:14] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: test them all one-by-one from your additional drivers list
[07:15] <RJ45> okay, so I should purge nvidia-661 to get to the desktop, then try the additional drivers thingy again
[07:15] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: if the 661 is giving you black, you cant otherwise
[07:17] <RJ45> the thing is, both 361 and 352 gave me black screen, and 352 was what the additions drivers thing gave me
[07:17] <RJ45> what do?
[07:18] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: does the list show 361-updates and 352-updates aswell?
[07:21] <RJ45> it originally just showed 352, now after all that messing around it now shows 355.11, 361.28, 352.63 and .79, and 358.16
[07:22] <RJ45> so many options, and yet so little choice :/
[07:22] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: test them all :p
[07:23] <RJ45> I think I already did test them all when I got all those black screens..
[07:23] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: if non work, try higher xubuntu versions
[07:23] <RJ45> do I have-to do all that again now?
[07:23] <RJ45> kill . me . right . now
[07:24] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: first step is to find yourself a working driver, to activate performance mode
[07:24] <RJ45> would my best be try the lowest version first?
[07:24] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: we have seen users with succes on 346 and 352-updates in the past
[07:25] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: but again, every system reacts different
[07:25] <RJ45> I'm gonna try 346
[07:25] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: some hardware needs higher ubuntu versions
[07:27] <RJ45> I'd just like to point out that this sort of essential thing that eludes even seasoned IT experts is what makes Ubuntu fail in the average user market
[07:28] <RJ45> I'd also like to point out that while everyone bashes AMD drivers, I have had nothing but joy and success with AMD drivers and Linux, Nvidia I have black screen and 8 hours wasted
[07:29] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: thats where bugs come handy
[07:29] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: every Os in the world has bugs, but ubuntu deals with them
[07:30] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: when new hardware arrives, devs need to make it all work, for free
[07:30] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: and you can help the community, by adding a bug when things dont work by default
[07:31] <RJ45> there is a difference between a bug and a catastrophe, the issue doesn't just lie with Ubuntu, Nvidia's lack of cooperation is largely at fault
[07:33] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: alot of users are happy ubuntu users on high end cards, check #gamingonlinux per example
[07:34] <RJ45> oh I am happy Xubuntu user with a nice R9 280X on my main rig, but on this laptop I want to everything to just end
[07:35] <hateball> RJ45: Does it not work using noeveau either?
[07:35] <RJ45> also I just tried 352 again, black screen
[07:36] <RJ45> the noeveau that come with Xubuntu by default works fine (with the exception of the live media needing to be hard-rebooted a few times to get to the desktop)
[07:37] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: if you like LTS, i would surely test out 16.04 daily xubuntu, and see how that performs
[07:38] <RJ45> maybe later I'll try it, I prefer to wait 'till an LTS is at-least at 04.3 before I use it
[07:39] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: dont stick to releases too stubborn, newer kernels might do some magic for you
[07:42] <RJ45> >go to install nvidia-346 >"nvidia-352 has-to be installed"
[07:42] <RJ45> ..wat?
[07:42] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: yep thats possible older driver redirect you to current ones
[07:43] <RJ45> 340 seems to install though, gonna try it
[07:43] <hateball> dont think 340 supports the 9xx series
[07:44] <RJ45> too late, trying it anyway, thia is my last option anyway, I have tried all the others again already, KILL ME NOW, JUST DO IT!, DO IIIIT!!!!
[07:44] <lotuspsychje> lol
[07:44] <hateball> RJ45: How come you're not using nouveau if it works? Gaming?
[07:45] <RJ45> obviously gaming yes,
[07:45] <RJ45> I didn't blow £650 of my life savings on a laptop with a 950M just to do 2D stuff real efficient :P
[07:45] <lotuspsychje> optimus cards should be used with nvidia driver +nvidia-prime to get that performance mode
[07:46] <RJ45> that's what I've been trying
[07:46] <lotuspsychje> try till you die :p
[07:46] <RJ45> I am dead inside, and yet my rage lives on! XD
[07:48] <RJ45> top kek, 340 driver didn't even give me the courtesy of a black screen, sent me straight to tty ..it's mocking me now
[07:48] <RJ45> well, I'm outta options and ideas, I have literally tried every driver I can
[07:48] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: you didnt
[07:48] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: 15.10, 16.04
[07:48] <RJ45> those ain't drivers
[07:49] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: if the ones by default dont work, what else will you do?
[07:49] <RJ45> and besides, this laptop existed way before 15.10, there SHOULD be a way to make 14.04 work!
[07:49] <RJ45> THERE HAS-TO BE!
[07:49] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: doesnt always work this way
[07:50] <hateball> 15.10 has newer x.org etc
[07:50] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: some systems/hardware needs other kernels
[07:50] <hateball> why not just slap a nightly 16.04 on there and give it a go
[07:50] <RJ45> so for 2 years this laptop would never have worked with Ubuntu?
[07:50] <RJ45> that's crazy!
[07:50] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: i suggest you file a new bug to 14.04 and try other ubuntu versions aswell
[07:51] <RJ45> also 950M isn't a super new bleeding edge GPU, it's been around a long time, it's actually just a re-brand of an 850M
[07:51] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: still, its a newer card that might need newer kernel/ubuntu
[07:52] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: last time ive repeated this :p
[07:52] <lotuspsychje> up to you now
[07:53] <RJ45> wait, but I tried updating the linux-headers, wouldn't that be enough to know 16.04 wouldn't work?
[07:53] <RJ45> and linux-source
[07:54] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: you can play around with mainline if you like aswell
[07:54] <lotuspsychje> !mianline | RJ45
[07:54] <lotuspsychje> !mainline
[07:54] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: but i would recommend clean install 15.10/16.04
[07:54] <RJ45> so basically, I am probably just screwed
[07:54] <lotuspsychje> your not why
[07:55] <RJ45> stuck with a brand new useless laptop
[07:55] <RJ45> FML
[07:55] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: dont judge so fast
[07:55] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: try it first
[07:55] <hateball> Refusing to try viable options is hardly "screwed"
[07:55] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: widen your horizon, dont be so stubborn on 14.04
[07:55] <RJ45> okay, but I really want to sleep, I have been away for 24 hours
[07:55] <RJ45> my eyes hurt
[07:55] <lotuspsychje> lol
[07:56] <RJ45> awake*
[07:56] <Valjan> Honestly, I'd stick with the stable release more often than not unless there's something you absolutely need in the version.
[07:56] <lotuspsychje> sleep fresh, then install fresh
[07:56] <lotuspsychje> Valjan: this case needs a wider testing mate
[07:58] <Valjan> Fair enough, but it sounds like this person wants to utilize their system moreso than bugtest. I'm all for bug testing but every now and again you just want things to go.
[07:58] <lotuspsychje> Valjan: read the logs mate, this case needs more then bug testing
[07:59] <lotuspsychje> Valjan: his 950m doenst get to work on 14.04.4, if you can solve, be our guest :p
[08:00] <RJ45> lotuspsychje: I am going to try Xubuntu 16.04, and I am going to cry when it doesn't work
[08:00] <RJ45> YOU DROVE ME TO THIS!
[08:00] <RJ45> >:(
[08:00] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: dont forget to enable internet + updates during setup + nvidia-prime right
[08:01] <RJ45> ya ya ya
[08:01] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: maybe the force be with you!
[08:01] <RJ45> I can feel the force in my colon..
[08:01] <RJ45> a real pain in the ass
[08:02] <lotuspsychje> lets keep it familly friendly
[08:02] <RJ45> heh :)
[08:03] <UbuntuDude> where can I find/download ubuntu 15.10?
[08:03] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: and also fresh install, no upgrade right and no folling around with other drivers then the default ones
[08:03] <lotuspsychje> !download | UbuntuDude
[08:04] <RJ45> lotuspsychje: I tried that with 14.04
[08:05] <Valjan> I see. I remember having a very similar problem with an nvidia card back when I was attempting dual boot on my windows box in 14.04 or 14.10. In all honesty I think attempting another version is actually best bet here.
[08:05] <lotuspsychje> RJ45: ok do the same with xenial now :p
[08:05] <RJ45> with hwat?
[08:05] <lotuspsychje> what?
[08:06] <lotuspsychje> 16.04= xenial
[08:08] <TragicM3LON> does anyone know where the default dir for systemd is in ubuntu?
[08:10] <Oloong> TragicM2LON : /var/log/upstart/systemd
[08:10] <lotuspsychje> TragicM3LON: whereis shows: systemd: /etc/systemd /lib/systemd /usr/lib/systemd
[08:11] <ni291187> my ubuntu got stuck on showing hidden files/content on my computer and when i press ctrl + h to hide it. when i reopen it shows again
[08:11] <TragicM3LON> so if i make a service and want to mv it to the system directory, in this guide it was saying /usr/lib/systemd/system/ but that /system/ doesn't exist
[08:12] <lotuspsychje> ni291187: ctrl + h is to unhide
[08:12] <lotuspsychje> ni291187: did you create folders with .foldername ?
[08:12] <ni291187> yes
[08:13] <lotuspsychje> ni291187: close nautilus and reopen doesnt hide them?
[08:13] <ni291187> what is nautilus?
[08:13] <lotuspsychje> ni291187: the file manager, wich ubuntu are you on?
[08:14] <ni291187> my ubuntu version is 14.04
[08:14] <ni291187> i am kind of new to ubuntu though
[08:14] <lotuspsychje> ni291187: try logging out and back in, see if your folders are hidden again
[08:16] <ni291187> ok
[08:16] <lotuspsychje> ni291187: in wich dir are you seeing unhidden folders?
[08:17] <ni291187> home directory
[08:18] <ni291187> yep it still shows
[08:18] <lotuspsychje> ni291187: so everytime you open /home you see all the config folders unhidden?
[08:19] <lotuspsychje> ni291187: or just 1 folder you created?
[08:19] <ni291187> yes
[08:19] <ni291187> all of it
[08:19] <lotuspsychje> weird
[08:20] <lotuspsychje> ni291187: are you up to date to latest? 14.04.4?
[08:22] <ni291187> yes it is 14.04.4
[08:24] <lotuspsychje> ni291187: install dconf-tools please
[08:25] <ni291187> ok
[08:25] <lotuspsychje> ni291187: then gksu dconf-editor and browse to: org/gtk/settings/file chooser
[08:26] <lotuspsychje> ni291187: show-hidden should be disabled there
[08:27] <ni291187> is gksu a command in ubuntu?
[08:28] <lotuspsychje> ni291187: yes, maybe youl need to install gksu
[08:30] <ni291187> actually i cant install it, it says libgksu.2.0 could not be authenticated
[08:30] <lotuspsychje> hmmm
[08:30] <lotuspsychje> ni291187: did you add ppa's of any kind?
[08:32] <ni291187> no i think not
[08:40] <enlseon> Hi i just got the task to upgrade a server from 11.04 to a later version. Im thinking 14.04 ? what should i keep in mind ? i have never done this before
[08:41] <enlseon> well i have upgraded my own machine with sudo apt-get dist-upgrade but i mean this is a much bigger step then im used to. also i would like to avoid breaking stuff
[08:41] <rilleh> Wait for 16.04
[08:42] <geirha> A server running a non-LTS release that has not been supported for over 4 years ...
[08:46] <enlseon> well yes i know i just got it on my table cuz i play around with linux at home. But iknow... we got a mail saying it was a security threat, i agree :P
[08:46] <geirha> yeah, probably still got heartbleed and shellshock ^^
[08:47] <geirha> I'd acquire a new machine, install latest LTS, configure it like the old machine, replace old machine.
[08:47] <enlseon> cool :D i want to try the heartbleed bug
[08:47] <enlseon> you dont think its possible to upgrade ?
[08:48] <geirha> you can upgrade 11.04 -> 11.10 -> 12.04 -> 14.04 -> 16.06 if you like, but it's going to take a lot of time
[08:49] <geirha> setting up a new machine with the latest lts is likely cheaper
[08:49] <haasn> Changing your password in ubuntu 15.10 is very unintuitive: The profile settings dialogue makes it entirely non-obvious that the “Password: *****” text turns into a button when you hover over it. :(
[08:49] <haasn> IMO if the profile is unlocked it should just turn into a button that's always visibly a button (until you re-lock it). Alternatively, have a small button with an ‘edit’ icon next to the text
[08:51] <enlseon> i dont know what services the server are running never touch it before. if i do it the long way i don't have to reboot ?
[08:51] <geirha> each release installs a new kernel version, so you'll need to reboot each step to use the new kernel
[08:51] <enlseon> its just changeing sources.list and apt-get dist-upgrade or is it likeley that i will get error :P
[08:52] <enlseon> okey well in that case i agree with you
[08:52] <geirha> you'll also need quite a bit of available space in /var
[08:52] <enlseon> why ?
[08:53] <geirha> for all the new packages
[08:53] <geirha> you can clean them out after each upgrade though
[08:54] <enlseon> how much is "quite a bit"
[08:55] <geirha> Depends on how much is installed
[08:58] <geirha> If you have 10G avialable, you'll probably be fine. Just beware that if you run out of space while upgrading, you'll have quite a mess on your hands
[09:14] <enlseon> Tnx very much for your information. I probably will have to probe around and se if i can get the software running on a new machine instead. Ofc the guy who wrote the software quit a couple of years ago and nobody knows anything :P
[09:51] <Kartagis> how can I find out why proftpd keeps dying on me?
[09:54] <llutz> Kartagis: set DebugLevel to a higher value and check your logs
[10:00] <ghostknife> I want to remove the clock from my login and lock screen on Kubuntu 15.10. Any advice on how to do this?
[10:00] <popey> ghostknife: maybe ask in #kubuntu?
[10:02] <ghostknife> popey: tx popey
[10:09] <scalper> hey
[10:10] <scalper> i have 2 partitions on 1 drive, partition 1 is windows 10 partition 2 is ubuntu, schrub handles the mbr stuff, if i want to reformat parition 2, do i get boot trouble with windows 10 when i install ubuntu again there on the empty partition 2?
[10:11] <popey> scalper: shouldn't do. Windows generally doesn't care about partitions it's not installed in, and hasn't formatted.
[10:15] <scalper> popey: would it be like that a new ubuntu installations detects windows 10 on the first partition again so i be able to start it from the menu in schrub again?
[10:15] <Ben64> what is schrub
[10:15] <scalper> scrub
[10:16] <Ben64> what is scrub
[10:16] <k1l> you mean grub?
[10:17] <k1l> scalper: and yes, grub should detect other installed OS and put them into the List
[10:26] <scalper> k1l: yes, it should but in that case windows would not have a mbr anymore that is active
[10:26] <k1l> scalper: and where is the issue?
[10:28] <scalper> k1l: so i'm not strongly believe that it would be detected by grub in that case, the issue is that grub now handles the boot menu of partition 1 which is win and partition 2 that is ubuntu, i will totally remove partition 2 and will rebuild it
[10:29] <k1l> scalper: grub can handle way more than 2 installed OS.
[10:31] <scalper> nevermind, we shall see, i have hope it's gonna work :)
[10:32] <tpimtts> got a nood question for you -- is it "normal behavior" for 14.04 to show my system RAM as 15.6 total when I have 16GB physically installed?
[10:32] <Ben64> sure
[10:32] <tpimtts> noob*
[10:36] <Triffid_Hunter> tpimtts: yes, some is reserved by various bios functions and the kernel
[10:36] <k1l> tpimtts: GB vs GiB
[10:37] <Ben64> k1l: nah that isn't that. ram is always base 2
[10:37] <k1l> ok

[11:46] <Marezz> hi everyone, i just installed ubuntu 14.04 and now i cant access my other hdd with ntfs partition.. I get this error http://imgur.com/OjbyKtC Can someone please help me?
[11:48] <k1l_> Marezz: boot windows and turn of that fake shutdown which is a hibernation in real.
[11:49] <Marezz> k1l_, I dont have windows anymore, only gnu+linux on my machine
[11:49] <k1l_> ok, then you need to force the mount.
[11:50] <fumblehool> Hello everyone! I have a lenovo s510 p laptop which is dual booted with Windows 10 and Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 LTS. I am facing an issue with laptop for last 10 days, whenever I press the power button to start it, power light starts then stops and this cycle continues and after some time it finally starts. Initially this time was 1-5 minutes but now it takes
[11:50] <fumblehool> approx 1.5 hrs to start. I searched for a solution online, there it was written that modern OS hibernates instead of shut down so it takes some time to wake HDD from sleep and remedy was given to remove battery and press n hold power button to let charge dissipate. I have tried that but no good. Can anyone please tell me some fix for it?
[11:50] <Marezz> k1l_, Ok, how do I do that?
[11:51] <k1l_> Marezz: wait, better try this: sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb1
[11:52] <Marezz> k1l_, Ok, I did it. Is this good? http://pastebin.com/Auag1sgT
[11:53] <k1l_> Marezz: yes.
[11:53] <Marezz> k1l_, It did! I managed to open it!
[11:53] <Marezz> Thanks, you helped me a lot! That was almost full 1TB drive! :)
[11:54] <Marezz> All of my data is safe and sound, yaaay :D
[11:55] <k1l_> in future better switch that fake shutdown off when running windows. so there is no trouble moounting that hdd for recovery reasons
[11:55] <Marezz> k1l_, Copy that
[11:56] <scalper> does somebody know where i get the latest google-chrome-stable_current_i386.rpm because google ended support for 32bit architecture, i still need it on my laptop, i get within8 weeks a new laptop
[11:56] <scalper> https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_i386.rpm isn't available anymore
[11:57] <BluesKaj> fumblehool, try taking the battery out for 5-10 mins or so, then try booting
[11:58] <OliviaPope> hey
[11:58] <fumblehool> BluesKaj: okay. Trying as you say
[11:58] <OliviaPope> can someone help me in complexity theory?

[12:03] <maret> hi everyone I am using gnone network manager for connecting to vpn using openconnect. Unfortunatelly connection fails several times a day and I am not sure why. Where should I look for the logs?
[12:05] <BluesKaj> maret, use network-manager-openvpn
[12:06] <maret> BluesKaj: I am i able to connect but it gets disconnected for no obvious reason
[12:07] <BluesKaj> maret, or network-manager-openvpn-gnome if you're using openvpn protocol
[12:07] <scalper> where i would get older versions of webbrowser like chrome for ubuntu, filehippo is only for windows
[12:07] <popey> scalper: you'd have to ask Google. we don't host old versions of proprietary software
[12:08] <maret> BluesKaj: I already have a tool to use I just want to know how to find out why vpn connect fails
[12:08] <BluesKaj> maret, then it's obvioulsy unstable but of course the vpn server may determine the connection stability
[12:09] <fairiestoy> Buenas everybody. I have a little Question. I'm using Ubuntu on the mobile phone, but for some reason i cannot connect to mobile web. I also contacted the official support of the provider in the first place, but they couldn't help me up to now.
[12:09] <fairiestoy> Anybody has a idea what could be the problem?
[12:10] <maret> BluesKaj: ok so do you know where I can find logs in ubuntu? I checked /var/logs but not sure what to look for
[12:10] <lotuspsychje> !touch | fairiestoy
[12:11] <BluesKaj> maret, syslog
[12:11] <NoobFan> i'm using ubuntu fourteen... after 10 or 20 minutes the screen freezes..i don't know why.. this happened 10 times .
[12:11] <fairiestoy> ubottu: Thanks a log, will take a look into that.
[12:13] <NoobFan> i'm using ubuntu fourteen... after 10 or 20 minutes the screen freezes..i don't know why.. this happened 10 times .
[12:16] <lotuspsychje> NoobFan: can you look in your syslog what happens?
[12:17] <NoobFan> lotuspsychje: command please..
[12:18] <lotuspsychje> NoobFan: use the logviewer icon, or browse your /var/log/syslog manually
[12:19] <lotuspsychje> NoobFan: wich ubuntu version is this?
[12:19] <NoobFan> lotuspsychje: 14
[12:19] <lotuspsychje> NoobFan: up to date to latest 14.04.4?
[12:19] <NoobFan> yes.. upto date lotuspsychje
[12:19] <lotuspsychje> ok
[12:20] <NoobFan> lotuspsychje: syslog contains alien language..
[12:20] <NoobFan> lotuspsychje: i can't understand that
[12:20] <lotuspsychje> NoobFan: pastebin and share to the channel please
[12:20] <lotuspsychje> !paste | NoobFan
[12:20] <maret> BluesKaj: thanks!
[12:20] <NoobFan> lotuspsychje:
[12:21] <maret> so this is content from my syslog why does the VPN fail? http://pastie.org/10765096
[12:24] <BluesKaj> maret, is it possible to use openvpn rather than pptp on that vpn server, looks like the server is dropping the connection...pptp is old and unreliable
[12:25] <fumblehool> BluesKaj: no luck 😞
[12:25] <lotuspsychje> NoobFan: 1.169088] pci 0000:00:1c.0: BAR 14: no space for [mem size 0x00200000]

[12:25] <lotuspsychje> NoobFan: maybe check memory ?
[12:25] <NoobFan> lotuspsychje: .. what is that?
[12:26] <NoobFan> lotuspsychje: any solution..?
[12:26] <NoobFan> lotuspsychje: hdd or ram?
[12:27] <lotuspsychje> NoobFan: maybe check ram memory yes
[12:27] <NoobFan> lotuspsychje: how.. i got no idea sir
[12:28] <lotuspsychje> NoobFan: your freezes, full system stops? need to reboot?
[12:28] <NoobFan> yes..i have to press the laptops powerbutton to reboot
[12:29] <maret> BluesKaj: I will ask server owner but I woudn't hold my breath
[12:29] <lotuspsychje> NoobFan: can you pastebin : sudo lshw -C video
[12:29] <NoobFan> lotuspsychje: ok
[12:30] <BluesKaj> fumblehool, I had a similar problem with my Lenovo G500 laptop, so I started suspending sessions rather than turning it off .
[12:30] <k1l_> NoobFan: you need to provide the logs in a pastebi if you cant understand what they say
[12:30] <NoobFan> k1l_: yes i got it..
[12:30] <NoobFan> lotuspsychje: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15414212/
[12:31] <BluesKaj> maret, is this vpn server required for your work ?
[12:31] <maret> unfortunatellyu
[12:31] <scalper> can i use wildcards on google like google-chrome-stable_anywildcard here_i386.deb
[12:32] <k1l_> scalper: dont isntall 32bit
[12:32] <fumblehool> BluesKaj: Even I am doing the same. But this I am wondering what might be the problem
[12:32] <k1l_> scalper: there are no more update for the 32bit chrome. so you get a security issue right now.
[12:32] <scalper> k1l_: i need to, i am one of the persons that still has a 32bit laptop and i get a new laptop within 8 weeks, now i need the latest 32bit version
[12:33] <scalper> yeah i know
[12:33] <k1l_> scalper: you cant. use chromium instead
[12:33] <scalper> k1l_: can i use chrome plugins on chromium?
[12:33] <k1l_> yes
[12:33] <scalper> like livepage etc
[12:33] <scalper> you sure?
[12:34] <k1l_> scalper: i dont know about all plugins. but most should work.
[12:34] <lotuspsychje> NoobFan: cant find anything unusual in logs
[12:34] <scalper> i give it a try
[12:34] <k1l_> scalper: and nothing in world is so important to run an outdated browser.
[12:34] <NoobFan> lotuspsychje: ohh ok.. thanks for ur time lotuspsychje .. ur a good person..
[12:34] <lotuspsychje> NoobFan: did you fresh install 14.04 or upgrade?
[12:34] <NoobFan> fresh install lotuspsychje
[12:34] <BluesKaj> fumblehool, I suspect my problem is the uefi/bios drops some settings since I switched from gpt type partition table to dos and use legacy bios  setting instead of uefi
[12:35] <scalper> google did not make the best step to end support, they could wait atleast 2 years
[12:36] <ioria> NoobFan, you got freeze ?
[12:36] <scalper> they just want people to consume chromeos
[12:36] <scalper> which sux :)
[12:36] <fumblehool> BluesKaj: I will try to see if I have the same problem
[12:36] <NoobFan> ioria: i mean whole system freezes..
[12:36] <lotuspsychje> ioria: yes every 20min he got freeze on trusty
[12:36] <k1l_> scalper: 32bit will die. thats it
[12:36] <ioria> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1503731
[12:36] <lotuspsychje> NoobFan: maybe a memorytest to make sure its not the ram? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MemoryTest
[12:37] <ioria> NoobFan,  seems a workaround is intel_idle.max_cstate=1
[12:37] <llutz> i thought 32bit already was dead - until i got a dell latitude d520 to revive ...
[12:37] <ioria> NoobFan,  with that video card i mean
[12:38] <NoobFan> ioria: ohh ok.. i'll try that option
[12:38] <NoobFan> ioria: lotuspsychje i'll try them what u suggested.. thanks guys for ur time...
[12:38] <NoobFan> lotuspsychje: ioria bye :)
[12:38] <ioria> NoobFan,  you know how to set a kernel boot parameter ?
[12:39] <scalper> k1l_: chromium is fine if the plugin i need works

[12:41] <LastNameBruce> Hey guys having issues with my dns apparently. I've run this setup for about a year now, but it seems today i can't resolve urls. (unknown host) when pinging URLS (can't apt-update)
[12:41] <LastNameBruce> my dns-nameservers are pointed to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 so i don't see how it couldn't resolve?

[13:02] <k1l_> NoobFan: networkmanager can do that
[13:02] <ricard> were is mkdir
[13:02] <\9> mkdir is a terminal command
[13:02] <NoobFan> k1l_: is that an app
[13:02] <k1l_> ricard: its a terminal command. what are you doing there exactly?
[13:03] <k1l_> NoobFan: networkmanager already handles the network on ubuntu. see its menu
[13:04] <ricard> I want to create a folder m3u
[13:04] <NoobFan> k1l_: yes i'm using that..but creating wifi hotspot is really annoying..

[13:06] <simonlinj> LastNameBruce looks good...
[13:06] <k1l_> ricard: its the same like you would do that on windows.

[13:16] <graps> Pici: I'm looking at first person shooters, and I was wondering how to d/l Doom 3 for Linux
[13:16] <ioria> LastNameBruce,   is it possible that  VPS provider forces an internal DNS address, blocking the use of alternatives in their firewall ?
[13:17] <LastNameBruce> no possible way, its a self managed, and its been working for 11 months.
[13:18] <Pici> graps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Doom3 but ymmv, seeing as it is very old.
[13:18] <R13ose> How do I print files from the file manager in 15.10?
[13:18] <graps> Pici: Yeah, that's true. What are some current FPS games ?
[13:19] <Pici> graps: unsure, sorry, but https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games should point you in some directions.
[13:19] <graps> Pici: Thanks
[13:21] <DArqueBishop> graps: if you're not unopposed to Steam, you might want to try downloading the Steam client for Linux and seeing what's available.

[13:27] <Grano> Hi
[13:28] <Grano> How do i install skylakes igpu drivers on ubuntu?
[13:28] <k1l_> Grano: that should be in the kernel. what ubuntu is that exactly?
[13:28] <Grano> kubuntu 15.10
[13:29] <Grano> i updated the kernel to 4.4.5
[13:29] <Grano> for the igpu support
[13:29] <Grano> so theres no need for drivers?
[13:31] <k1l_> Grano: it should be supported since 4.3
[13:31] <Kartagis> wget --verbose --header='Host:www.google.com' html.webcinizim.com why am I getting 403 here?
[13:32] <Grano> support isnt that good, games are still quite glitchy
[13:33] <Grano> and i get bad screen tearing while watching videos
[13:33] <Grano> is there a way to fix it?
[13:37] <NoobFan> lotuspsychje: why ubuntu software center is slow at downloading files... i'm on 100 mbps channel,, the app is slow
[13:38] <NoobFan> why ubuntu software center is slow at downloading files... i'm on 100 mbps channel,, the app is slow
[13:39] <popey> NoobFan: is it downloading or actually doing the install?
[13:39] <k1l_> NoobFan: maybe your mirror is slow.
[13:39] <popey> it could be the mirror
[13:39] <popey> yes.
[13:39] <NoobFan> popey: its downloading..
[13:40] <NoobFan> k1l_: popey thanks..
[13:40] <lotuspsychje> NoobFan: what are your other system specs overall? your graphics was intel, ram?
[13:41] <NoobFan> lotuspsychje: do you want remote connection to my pc.. please help in setting up the wifi hotspot
[13:41] <lotuspsychje> NoobFan: i dont do remote assistance sorry, read that url from wifihotspot
[13:42] <NoobFan> lotuspsychje: ok well thanks.. :)
[13:42] <k1l_> NoobFan: why dont you use networkmanager? its the network symbol in your systray
[13:42] <NoobFan> k1l_: i used.. ok wait i'll give u the screen shot
[13:43] <k1l_> NoobFan: you dont use wifi to connect to the internet, right?
[13:44] <NoobFan> k1l_: my computer got wired ethernet..i want to share hotspot to the mobile phone
[13:45] <k1l_> NoobFan: http://askubuntu.com/a/593032/31260
[13:46] <R13ose> I am using dnssd://Brother%20HL-5250DN%20series._pdl-datastream._tcp.local/ as my Printer Device URI but this is sometimes Idle - Unable to locate Printer.  How do I fix this?
[13:46] <NoobFan> k1l_: i tried that procedure .but no use http://imgur.com/0dI4aWD
[13:47] <MonkeyDust> R13ose  how is that ubuntu related?
[13:47] <k1l_> NoobFan: what exactly didnt work?
[13:47] <R13ose> I am using Ubuntu 15.10 and might be using the wrong printer settings.
[13:47] <NoobFan> k1l_: http://imgur.com/lnarWZ5   i creted dozen wifihotspots but none of them appear in my mobile
[13:47] <maret> how to pipe result of ls-files --others --exclude-standard  to mv so I move all of those files to different directory?
[13:48] <hateball> maret: a for loop
[13:49] <k1l_> NoobFan: dnt use wep anyway
[13:49] <NoobFan> k1l_: i'm using wpa
[13:49] <NoobFan> k1l_: yes wep is easy to break
[13:49] <geirha> maret: Why, if I may ask?
[13:49] <hateball> maret: something like... for i in $(ls-files --others --exclude-standard); do mv $i /new/path; done
[13:49] <k1l_> NoobFan: please delete that old hotspots. and try with the exact howto from that page that is known to work
[13:49] <MonkeyDust> maret  try using backticks `  ... like mv `ls...`[new folder] ... first test with cp
[13:50] <NoobFan> k1l_: ok i'll try them..thanks bye :)
[13:50] <hateball> MonkeyDust: backticks are deprecated, $() is the new black !
[13:50] <maret> geirha: because I have some files inside of my  project folder which dont belong there
[13:50] <MonkeyDust> hateball  tnx, we learn every day
[13:50] <LastNameBruce> ioria: i think you were right..
[13:50] <LastNameBruce> i switched it to openDNS and its working fine now
[13:50] <LastNameBruce> so they MUST have changed the firewall
[13:50] <ioria> LastNameBruce, yay
[13:51] <LastNameBruce> theres no other way it would stop working with google.
[13:51] <LastNameBruce> i know googles is fine because i use it for MY network >_>
[13:51] <ioria> LastNameBruce, right
[13:52] <LastNameBruce> thanks everyone who helped.
[13:52] <ioria> LastNameBruce, no problem, good job

[14:12] <geirha> maret: Do you know about git stash?
[14:14] <geirha> maret: Because that's basically what git stash does. It stashes away any changes you have, also untracked files if you include -u, leaving you with a fresh checkout
[14:15] <maret> geirha: thank you for the help, git stash isn't what I need I solved the problem simply by moving folders by hand
[14:17] <w00tburger> can someone let me know how I can run a python script that executes system commands through CRON?
[14:17] <w00tburger> I have a cronjob that calls a script that runs a system command. apparently the python script in which it is calling runs fine, but when it is called through cron it doesnt want to work
[14:18] <Pici> w00tburger: What does your crontab look like?
[14:18] <w00tburger> one sec.

[14:20] <scalper> i use wine and installed mirc, it always worked, until now, i use the same version of mirc, and the version i tried i used before, and i can't set the option dialog away (alt-o), i use the latest wine and ubuntu, what to do now? i tried the latest mirc too
[14:20] <jim> Hi... can someone help me, I have a person who just joined (Bored_) who needs a /etc/fstab (he runs ubuntu, and I can't for the life of me guess how he lost it), but, all his partitions are mounted, we just worked on separating his /home out from his / partition
[14:20] <liacla-8081> !list
[14:20] <jim> can someone help him out please?
[14:21] <MonkeyDust> scalper  mirc is a windows program and not supported here
[14:21] <pi_______> http://paste.debian.net/416603/
[14:21] <pi_______> ah cmon now
[14:21] <pi_______> exit
[14:22] <Scunizi> jim: did you (or him) look for a backup in /etc/fstab? or make one when you were separating /home?
[14:22] <w00tburger> sorry about that. here it is http://paste.debian.net/416603/
[14:22] <jim> he didn't have fstab then either if I recall correctly
[14:22] <jim> Bored_, good, you're here
[14:23] <k1l_> scalper: ubuntu ships enough own irc clients. no need to run a windows one in wine
[14:23] <geirha> w00tburger: It probably relies on some environment variables that cron doesn't set, or relies on finding a command in PATH; cron sets a very minimal PATH variable
[14:24] <pbx> i disabled the super key (for numbered app switching and type-to-launch and key help; still works for cycling through the launcher). remind me how to restore it?
[14:24] <jim> here's what I told him... until we get you an /etc/fstab, you just need to (as root) mount /dev/sda7 /home and then you should be good
[14:26] <geirha> w00tburger: http://askubuntu.com/q/23009/9016

[14:28] <Scunizi> Bored_: jim https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab
[14:28] <Pici> processor: you can ask here, but you'll probably get better (and faster) help in #bash
[14:28] <processor> oh ok
[14:29] <processor> bash  right
[14:29] <processor> ?
[14:29] <Pici> processor: /join #bash
[14:29] <Bored_> Scunizi thanks just one question about options i am not sure what it should be
[14:31] <Scunizi> Bored_: since I don't know what "it" is and which option you're talking about, I can't answer that.  The link should guide you nicely. If you're confused about something in there use your google fu at that point.

[14:46] <Bored> hi i just changed my fstab and when i rebooted it created new user as the name of my pc and the password of my root doesnt work
[14:46] <Bored> what i can do?
[14:48] <floka> there is a video in youtube I have seen it how you can hack and gain access
[14:48] <floka> search for it.You basically use ubuntu live cd and change password for root
[14:49] <floka> or removed it, sometng like htat
[14:49] <Bored> the problem is on login screen i have username 'anonymous' while the actual user is 'aa'
[14:49] <Bored> and when i reboot in recovery and tried as root passwd anonymous it says user not exist
[14:50] <floka> If you dont have access to the pc.Look for the video man.It works
[14:50] <k1l_> floka: sorry but "just look at youtubevideos" is like the worst advice
[14:51] <k1l_> Bored: what did you do before?
[14:51] <floka> indeed.Ok search youtube for root no password failsafe ubuntu forgot password
[14:51] <k1l_> Bored: and what ubuntu is that exactly?
[14:51] <MonkeyDust> floka  would you you have your car mechanic like to say, to watch a youtube video?

[14:57] <k1l_> Bored: what are you doing there at all? do you want to trash your system and make a reinstall?
[14:58] <Bored> i was removing it because i colned it to another partition and now i want to mount this partition to home
[14:58] <Bored> *i removed it

[15:20] <Bored> llutz thanks ill try reboot
[15:20] <llutz> Bored: you'd check sda7 before
[15:21] <jim> llutz, we copied his /home to sda7
[15:21] <llutz> Bored: "sudo mkdir /mnt_home && sudo mount /dev/sda7 /mnt_home && ls -l /mnt_home"
[15:21] <BluesKaj> Bored, why would you want /home to be ro?
[15:22] <llutz> BluesKaj: on error, ro. but right, "defaults" would be sufficient
[15:23] <Craigwell> Has anyone here sucessfully installed any linux distro on a Dell Baytrail tablet ?
[15:23] <BluesKaj> llutz, yeah that's the setting I have for /

[15:28] <carls> i have a problem i just install ubuntu but i dont have wifi adapter what can i do?
[15:29] <bobby23> When booting Ubuntu 14.04, I get taken to a screen that says "Busybox v1.21.1 ... build-in shell" and then (initramfs) with a blinking cursor, what could be causing this? I only did an update last night before shutting down
[15:31] <scalper> chown -R mark /var/www/html/ will set the superuser mark being owner of the group, now it is root, how do i just add the user mark instead of a change to the owner?
[15:33] <llutz> scalper: sudo chown -R mark:  /path/
[15:33] <scalper> llutz: does root:root still has acces to it (i believe it has because root is root) duh
[15:34] <llutz> scalper: root always has access and forget the chown before, doesn't work anymore
[15:35] <llutz> scalper: chown <username> file      shouldn't change the group
[15:35] <scalper> llutz: i just got a fresh ubuntu install where /var/www/html belongs to root now i just want to give superuser mark all acces to it, what do most people use for this?
[15:37] <llutz> scalper: no idea, i hardly deal with webservers. i'd chown that to mark, or chgrp that to a defined group, if there are more than one users needing access
[15:38] <MonkeyDust> scalper  it's not clear what you're trying to do or achieve ... try and ask in #ubuntu-server
[15:39] <llutz> scalper: http://askubuntu.com/a/386940   sounds like a proper way.

[15:40] <darkelfjuggalo> I have recently updated to 15.10: For over a Week i have been dealing with two problems: the first is that my Screen randomly scrambles or blinks out. The 2nd is that it Randomly Kills the OS... i go to a Console Screen, I can't save what it says, but I have to power off and back on with the CPU power Button.
[15:41] <HaaPut> I updated from 12.04 to 14.04 and my xserver has stopped working
[15:42] <HaaPut> I have tried reinstalling nvidia drivers, reinstalling xorg and gdm but still no luck
[15:42] <holgersson> HaaPut: You might take a look at the Xorg-Logfiles in /var/log/.
[15:42] <darkelfjuggalo> My drivers are fully up to day, someone walked me through several scans and log files to find the error, but was unable to explain what the errors were, believing it was a Graphics Problem. I am using the Intel 945G x86/MMX/SSE2 Graphics card
[15:43] <holgersson> darkelfjuggalo: At the moment there is a bug with Xorg and intel graphics cards. Upstream (i.e. the project) got an bug report filed some days ago.
[15:44] <holgersson> darkelfjuggalo: I'm running Linux (not Ubuntu though) on an Haswell-i5 with it's onboard-GPU and my Xorg and complete system freezes with that version.
[15:44] <HaaPut> holgesson: when i do startx form tty1 its gets stuck at loading extension glx, xinit  failed to connect
[15:45] <Ben64> startx shouldn't be used on ubuntu
[15:45] <darkelfjuggalo> holgersson: ok so there is presently nothing I can do?
[15:45] <holgersson> Ben64: Why not?
[15:45] <Ben64> because it's not. sudo service lightdm start
[15:46] <holgersson> Ben64: It's not what?
[15:46] <Ben64> it's not the right way to do it on ubuntu
[15:46] <HaaPut> Ben64: what is the right way?
[15:46] <Ben64> i just said
[15:47] <holgersson> darkelfjuggalo: As far as I can see not; I don't recall how to blacklist packages at ubuntu right know - you could downgrade, prevent that X version from updating and then wait some time + upgrade later.
[15:48] <BLZbubba_> i am using dhcp and ubuntu sets /etc/resolv.conf to use nameserver 127.0.1.1
[15:49] <BLZbubba_> how do i find out the real name servers?
[15:49] <holgersson> Ben64: Do you have a source for further reading why it's not the right way? I'm running mostly other distros where starting either via startx or a display manager seems to be no problem at all and would like to understand the problem here.
[15:49] <Ben64> BLZbubba_: nmcli dev list | grep DNS
[15:50] <Ben64> holgersson: not now, i have to leave for work in 10 seconds. i'm sure you could find it on google though
[15:50] <holgersson> Ben64: OK.
[15:51] <zerrrg> Where I can ask programming question?
[15:52] <zerrrg> It seem I cant join php channel. Does it even exist?
[15:53] <squinty> !alis
[15:53] <scalper> llutz: i just did add user mark to /var/www/html and i did give rwx permissions, now it works, sounds ok, right?
[15:54] <holgersson> rwx doesn't sound good per se
[15:55] <BLZbubba_> zerrrg: make sure your nick is registered, some channels are more strict about that; and some use the double-octothorpe, e.g. ##linux
[15:56] <zerrrg> Thanks for info guys
[15:57] <scalper> holdsworth: ok, hmm when i did give the user mark rwx permissions with dolphin (from the gui), if i type in a terminal inside /var/www/ ls -l i don't see anything related to mark, how i see it?
[15:57] <darkelfjuggalo> i updated becuase this computer is primarily for my dad to play facebook games and the Flash needed and update that I couldnt get in 15.04... but now that i know the issue i can work on finding a work around, if at all possible [which this device is from 2007 with Vista originally on it]
[15:57] <BLZbubba_> Ben64: thanks
[15:58] <HaaPut> using sudo service lightdm start works but only manually for tty1 otherwise it gets stuck at initial 'ubuntu' screen forever
[15:59] <Guest31930> minna
[15:59] <scalper> holdsworth: ls -ld /var/www/html/ doesn't show anything related to user mark, however user mark has now rwx rights to it, where i can see that?
[15:59] <scalper> the group still remains root:root

[16:01] <Guest31930> there's know
[16:01] <Guest31930> answer my question
[16:02] <mustmodify> weird issue. I'm using putty to ssh from a windows machine to Ubuntu.
[16:03] <Guest31930> for what?
[16:03] <mustmodify> I've been using it all morning without issue
[16:03] <squinty> scalper,  groups <username>
[16:03] <mustmodify> I just pressed the q key and it dinged at me instead of ... like ... typing 'q'
[16:03] <Guest31930> free access internet?
[16:04] <mustmodify> but when I type q in other apps... obviously no issue.
[16:04] <mustmodify> qQqQ ha ha haQQQqqQQqQq
[16:04] <mustmodify> capital Q works via PUTTY.
[16:04] <mustmodify> so strange.
[16:04] <mustmodify> Ah, interesting. Other putty windows also accept q.
[16:05] <Guest31930> u have a module?
[16:06] <scalper> squinty: there i don't see anything related to /var/www/html/ where i did give user mark acces to with rwx, so where to see it? :)
[16:06] <scalper> ls -ld /var/www/html/ also will not return anything related to user mark
[16:09] <HaaPut> I updated from 12.04 to 14.04 and it gets stuck at 'ubuntu' screen forever on startup
[16:09] <mustmodify> Guest31930: Whom are you asking about a module?
[16:09] <scalper> http://www.linux.org/attachments/rootfolderadvancedpermissions-png.1164/ i did just add a named user mark to give it acces with rwx to /var/www/html like this screenshot, after that when o popup the dialog again i will not find anything related to it anymore in the dialog, ls -ld won't find also anything
[16:10] <scalper> could it have to do with gksudo cause i started dolphin with it

[16:20] <MonkeyDust> HaaPut  that's a workaround, no solution, but does it work?
[16:20] <HaaPut> MonkeyDust: yeah its a workaround... it works
[16:21] <HaaPut> MonkeyDust: but can't keep doing it everytime

[16:45] <Browser> Hello. I have a Intel graphic card. When I start Ubuntu the graphics are really poor, however when I use Teamviewer I can see  good quality graphics. lspci is showing 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx Series Graphics & Display (rev 0c) . The intel drivers are installed on the system. Can anyone help me? Thanks
[16:45] <compdoc> Browser, I dont think Teamviewer depends on the intel graphic card
[16:46] <compdoc> Browser, in the bios, be sure to assign as much ram as you can to the video. You might start with 1G of ram
[16:46] <Browser> I have cloned the HD and it is working with a different graphic card, so I wonder if I have to do something with the xorg.

[17:15] <Craigwell> anyone here sucessfully install a distro on a clover trail tablet?
[17:15] <MonkeyDust> !tablet
[17:15] <lotuspsychje> Craigwell: whats the default Os on that device?
[17:16] <Craigwell> lotuspsycheje: It was windows 8.0  . I recently was able to put a fresh install of windows 10 on it
[17:16] <holdsworth> scalper: why are you highlighting me? we've never talked
[17:16] <Craigwell> its 32 bit uefi locked, no legacy. secureboot off
[17:16] <lotuspsychje> Craigwell: then you can install ubuntu desktop on that
[17:16] <Craigwell> i've tried several distros and can get to grub, but it freezes
[17:16] <k1l_> Craigwell: uh, 32bit uefi is a pain.
[17:17] <Craigwell> i think my problem might lie in options 'e' from grub menu. I've tried removing quiet splash and putting resolution@hz, but still freezes before any kernel lines
[17:17] <k1l_> Craigwell: best is to look into porting communities like xda-developers if someone got a working routine for putting some linux onto it.
[17:18] <Craigwell> it's a tough one.. seems some people have had better luck with bay trail devices than clover trail due to powervr gpu.. i might try and buy something else.. it's a dell latitude 10 so good build quality and would be nice. I may have to give up on linux on it though :-/
[17:19] <Craigwell> It's one of those things I throw some hours into every 6 month or so lol
[17:20] <lotuspsychje> Craigwell: maybe this looks like usefull? https://sturmflut.github.io/linux/ubuntu/2015/01/21/installing-ubuntu-15.04-on-baytrail-tablets/
[17:25] <Craigwell> lotuspsychje: Yes I've been through that one. no dice.. i'm thinking I need to move on from clover trail
[17:25] <Craigwell> :-/
[17:25] <Craigwell> too many power management features driven by OS
[17:26] <Craigwell> plus PowerVR GPU
[17:26] <ogra_> powervr gpu's are awesome ... sadly the linux drivers are worse than anything
[17:28] <Craigwell> ogra_: All I want to use the tablet for is a glorified e-reader, really.. I can barely rationalize wanting ubuntu on it - but still I try? stubborness I guess
[17:29] <Craigwell> well, not liking windows very much and hoping for better performance is the reason i guess. but the outcome may not be nearly worth the effort, is more accurate to say
[17:29] <Craigwell> if power management and graphic issues are my destiny

[18:02] <jstrong> Hi all. I have a wordpress site hosted on ubuntu 14 (server edition) that is getting spammed by requests from the following IP 159.8.41.179
[18:02] <jstrong> I have looked online at using iptables to block this ip as a temporary solution but nothing seems to stick
[18:03] <jstrong> For example, the following command sudo iptables -A INPUT -s 159.8.41.179 -p TCP --destination-port 80 -j DROP
[18:03] <jstrong> no errors outputted, but apache access logs still show requests flooding in from that address
[18:03] <jstrong> any ideas what is wrong with my iptables command?
[18:06] <Jordan_U> jstrong: Are the requests being made via http or via https?
[18:07] <jstrong> http (port 80)

[18:52] <StubbornOX> the problem with googling all this stuff is there are so many different versions of options
[18:52] <cerry> Bashing-om: It's 14.04.4 but I can't get into grub. After bios splash I hold shift. Screen is black, then "GRUB loading" flashes for a sec, then the screen goes dark (like shutdown). Then it shows a black screen again (no bios).
[18:52] <titanium17> thanks MonkeyDust I am looking at the link now!
[18:54] <MonkeyDust> titanium17  careful with ppa's ... when you upgrade ubuntu, they may nno longer work
[18:54] <ABC-XYZ> titanium17: GNOME 3.18 ; hence Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 as well, has GVFS Google Drive integration ; it works pretty well, but it is handled as a network filesystem, instead of some sync functionality
[18:55] <DavidFromBE> hello
[18:55] <DavidFromBE> my xorg.conf seems to be deleted on boot (ubuntu 15.10), what's going on ?
[18:56] <titanium17> ABC-XYZ, MonkeyDust, my primary use is to keep my files synced. Maybe even push the system backup to the drive every week just to be safe.
[18:57] <StubbornOX> anyone know how to setup a snmp manager?
[18:57] <Bashing-om> cerry: OK, so is this a EFI system ? Then it is the escape key that grub looks for .
[18:59] <Bashing-om> DavidFromBE: With the advent of KMS, that file is depreciated . If present however will be honored.
[19:00] <DavidFromBE> it is generated by amdconfig
[19:00] <DavidFromBE> then i reboot, can't find the file anymore
[19:03] <Bashing-om> DavidFromBE: Now that I admitt is weird. ' ls -al /etc/X11/xorg.conf ' results in " file not found " ?
[19:03] <cerry> Bashing-om: It is and holdinh ESC seems to show a boot menu. It looks like an option to boot from cd or hard disk however it keeps disappearing and rebooting as mentioned before. (Also there are some option in the bios I'm not entirly sure how to handle `Exxecute DIsable Bit` and Trusted Platform Module (TPM)… )
[19:03] <Bashing-om> !UEFI | cerry
[19:04] <DavidFromBE> Bashing-om: wth ? ls -al /etc/X11/xorg.conf --> file exists
[19:05] <cerry> oh yeah not bios but uefi… well as it has EFI support it seems to be uefi - not?
[19:06] <DavidFromBE> Bashing-om: but vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf --> new file
[19:06] <DavidFromBE> what is going on here ?

[19:07] <boytel> hi all
[19:07] <Bashing-om> cerry: Everything depends on the mode that you install with ..Bios/EFI are not compatible. Tou must boot up as how the operating system was installed . Ubuntu will install in either mode . Are you dula booting ? as this also complicates the booting situation .
[19:07] <DavidFromBE> migmolrod: cheers to that !
[19:07] <boytel> any help wlcome
[19:08] <boytel> i installed ubuntu to raspberry pi 3
[19:08] <DavidFromBE> argh, file is not present anymore
[19:08] <boytel> but is to slow
[19:08] <cerry> Bashing-om: Noppe it's solely ubuntu. I think I might have missed creating an EFI partition… I'll check that
[19:08] <DavidFromBE> ok, file is being deleted somehow
[19:10] <DavidFromBE> i'll find out after dinner
[19:10] <Bashing-om> cerry: Yeah, If booting EFI, that partition is required as it holds the boot code .
[19:10] <DavidFromBE> :)
[19:10] <Bashing-om> DavidFromBE: Good luck, as I do not know, would be nice to be enlightened as to what is taking place .

[19:28] <dax> mustmodify: I think \n

[19:29] <mustmodify> actually
[19:29] <mustmodify> it doesn't.
[19:29] <cerry> mustmodify: Do you collaborate with windows folk? ^M is their carriage return while *nix people use a linefeed.
[19:29] <mustmodify> I would have sworn I tried that.
[19:30] <dax> specifically, ^M = \r

[19:31] <cerry> my condolence :)
[19:33] <mustmodify> Thanks. It's just a quick project to help a family friend. Gotta pitch in now and again.
[19:33] <haasn> I'm trying to install Ubuntu side-by-side with another Linux partition. Running into some problems: 1. I created a bootable USB device using unetbootin. 2. I try booting from this using the “select boot device” feature in my BIOS, 3. I see the regular GRUB2 menu (for my normal machine), not the one from the ubuntu installer!. I can boot from the device in UEFI mode, but then installation of ubuntu fails
[19:33] <haasn> due to EFI-related errors
[19:33] <haasn> As an alternative, is it somehow possible to install ubuntu *without* installing a boot loader?
[19:33] <haasn> But I guess that will still fail in EFI mode. I got as far as copying files to the newly formatted ext4's /boot/efi when it failed with some error. But I really would prefer to avoid EFI mode altogether. Which is why I'm trying to figure out why exactly I can't boot in non-EFI mode :/
[19:34] <DavidFromBE> Bashing-om: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-drivers-common/+bug/1310489
[19:34] <haasn> Another odd thing: I tried manually booting into the USB device by entering the grub command line in the existing grub, but it only shows (hd0,gpt1) etc. - except the device I'm booting from is not formatted to GPT, and it doesn't seem to register them. Is there some module I have to load or something to be able to see non-GPT partitions in grub?
[19:37] <ZeZu> haasn,  what type of non GPT ?  MBR ?  generally it's already loaded and it's rare it screws that up,  you sure it's not or possibly hybrid MBR/GPT ?
[19:39] <haasn> ZeZu: MBR yeah, looks like the issue was that my grub.cfg didn't contain insmod part_msdos
[19:39] <haasn> Will give it a try again with that module loaded
[19:40] <ZeZu> well if grub2 isn't seeing your usb, its likely it won't work ... i'm guessing it does work in efi mode though.  if that's the case your best bet is to find out what the efi error on that install is about
[19:41] <max3> what can i put in an init.d script?
[19:41] <xz0r> is it possible to extend my desktop over lan to another monitor?
[19:41] <ZeZu> max3, a lot of different things,  you'd have to be more specific
[19:41] <tanuki> Okay, this is weird. I installed Ubuntu Server yesterday. Today, I tried to connect to that machine, via SSH, and after it prompted me to accept the SSH key fingerprint, it disconnected me. When I tried again to reconnect, it gave me a different key fingerprint. Removing the old key fingerprint from known_hosts, the same problem occurs: first connect I get one key, subsequent connect I get another
[19:41] <xz0r> *both are running ubuntu
[19:41] <ZeZu> xz0r, you mean like VNC ?
[19:41] <xz0r> Yeah
[19:41] <ZeZu> or RDP ?
[19:41] <compdoc> max3, what do you need in an init.d script?
[19:42] <ZeZu> well then yes,  ubuntu has its own or you can use any vnc thats supported
[19:42] <xz0r> Not RDP. like a second monitor. extending my current monitor
[19:42] <xz0r> so that I can drag windows
[19:42] <ZeZu> well if its over the network then you'd still have to use something like that
[19:42] <ZeZu> there may be another solution that virtualizes as a monitor to Xorg but I kindof doubt it
[19:43] <ZeZu> or doubt how usefull it'd be
[19:43] <max3> compdoc, ZeZu, i need to figure out the gateway router address the network a machine and then bring up a network interface with a static ip. i was thinking of bringing up the interface with dhcp, doing a route, scraping using grep and cut, then changing /etc/network/interfaces accordingly
[19:43] <nmmm> one Windows related question
[19:44] <nmmm> i have windows 8 with 1 TB HDD. with 200 GB data on it. I need to migrate to 250 GB SSD. windows 8 can shrink the disk to 600 GB. I have Ubuntu, where I can plug both disks,
[19:45] <ZeZu> max3,  you can specify to use a static ip when you bring the network up in network/interfaces,  but if you don't already know the gateway how do you know the static ip to use?   so i see what you mean about dhcp but it's also confusing what you really intend
[19:45] <nmmm> then i can dd first 100 MB Windows partion.
[19:45] <nmmm> then I can create new ntfs partition on the ssd, and to copy all data from 1 TB disk.
[19:46] <nmmm> question is - any idea how to do the SSD bootable?
[19:46] <max3> ZeZu, well i'm assuming it's something very similar to the typical household router gateway 192.168.1.1 but you make a good point
[19:46] <max3> ZeZu, because that's completely wrong
[19:46] <Emperor_Earth> I'm having trouble building a UEFI bootable version of Minimal Ubuntu 14.04x64 (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD). It boots on legacy, but not UEFI. I extracted the efi.img file into the disc's root directory as a folder, "efi". I'm using ImgBurn on Windows 7, and I think my issue has to do with "Load Segment" and "Sectors to Load", which are both currently set at the default, but I'm not sure. I don't
[19:46] <Emperor_Earth> have a *nix computer on hand to build an iso on.
[19:46] <max3> yea that's really annoying
[19:46] <ZeZu> nmmm, uh is the first 100mb partition a recovery/reserved or is it efi system partition ?
[19:47] <ZeZu> max3,  if you can use dhcp once its doubtfull it'll change after ...
[19:47] <nmmm> is legacy boot (non UEFI). 100 MB partition seems empty (windows show no files there, even system files are shown in explorer)
[19:47] <nmmm> I can "mimic" the MBR and partitions, incl partitions
[19:47] <max3> ZeZu, the problem is i need a fixed ip address
[19:47] <nmmm> but I can not 'dd' the big partition
[19:47] <ZeZu> do it manually and then use the address you get to save as a fixed ip
[19:48] <ZeZu> nmmm,  then mount it and use cp
[19:48] <ZeZu> ( IF its only 200GB )
[19:48] <cerry> Bashing-om: thanks again for the link. specifying an EFI partition did the trick ;)
[19:49] <nmmm> will it boot ? is it important where bootmgr file is placed on this?
[19:49] <ZeZu> then use windows install disc to fix the boot or use another bootloader
[19:49] <max3> ZeZu, the whole story is i'm distributing a VM with a postgres server that hooks up an app (don't ask) and i'd like the ip of the server to be hardcoded in the app
[19:49] <nmmm> ZeZu: can i fix bootloader from ubuntu?
[19:51] <ZeZu> nmmm,  uhm...  it's "possible" yes,  but you have to know what you're doing ...
[19:51] <pbx> i somehow broke the super-1, super-2, super-3... app switching shortcuts.  where do i fix this?
[19:51] <ZeZu> max3,  uhm,  i'm slightly more confused,  this VM will only be used on this same server ?
[19:51] <nmmm> ZeZu: stupid windows is not documented at all
[19:51] <max3> ZeZu, the vm has a postgres server in it. the vm will deployed in lots of places
[19:52] <ZeZu> nmmm, the windows boot process if very fully documented and there is further info ALL OVER the net
[19:52] <nmmm> may be then I am too stupid :D
[19:53] <ZeZu> nmmm,  either its part of the MBR and/or in the reserved parts of the drive/partition
[19:53] <ZeZu> so you'd have to KNOW and use DD if you don't want to be bothered to boot the windows install disc and use bootrec / fixmbr or whatever
[19:54] <nmmm> yes, this second one worry me :) if it is on the 100 mb disk, I could be dd it
[19:54] <ZeZu> max3, well if you're the one setting up that server in the VM then you ought to know it's gateway details :)
[19:54] <nmmm> but if it is on big disk, I do not that much space on the ssd
[19:54] <ZeZu> at least the basic network configuration
[19:54] <ZeZu> ie: if it's going to set up as 192.168.x.x or 10.10.x.x or whatever
[19:55] <CaffeineAddict> greetings, I have a chroot in which I am doing a cross compile build of libwebsockets ... `make install` works ... however I need to take the compiled code and move it to a different machine
[19:55] <max3> ZeZu, this is virtualbox we're talking about and to talk to the server i set virtualbox to use a network bridge for the vm
[19:55] <CaffeineAddict> how do I make a .deb with this project
[19:56] <ZeZu> max3,  ahhh ...  then it will differ and you're not going to get a static ip
[19:57] <ZeZu> you'll have to run a script AFTER network init,  and find out network info from ifconfig or smth
[20:00] <mekhami> is it easier to load ubuntu in legacy boot or uefi boot
[20:01] <Emperor_Earth> Does anyone have a UEFI bootable iso of Minimal Ubuntu 14.04x64 a la http://onetransistor.blogspot.com/2015/12/install-ubuntu-minimal-cd-uefi-enabled.html? I'm having trouble resolving ? I'm having troubling working around this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1429030
[20:01] <Jordan_U> mekhami: If your boot firmware supports UEFI then it will probably be easier, and less likely to lead to small hardware problems, to install Ubuntu for UEFI.
[20:02] <mekhami> Jordan_U: i'm having trouble finding the boot order options in the dell inspiron 17 bios
[20:02] <mekhami> Jordan_U: using UEFI
[20:02] <Jordan_U> mekhami: You're having trouble getting your boot firmware to boot Ubuntu's installer?
[20:03] <mekhami> yeah
[20:03] <mekhami> secure boot ight be a problem?
[20:03] <mekhami> s/ight/might
[20:04] <Jordan_U> Emperor_Earth: It's not too hard to make your own using grub-mkrescue, as long as you have an Ubuntu machine to do so with already available.
[20:04] <sstory> Why would this fail http://paste.ubuntu.com/15417489/ with Cannot access...no such file or directory? The directory is there
[20:06] <Jordan_U> Emperor_Earth: I'm going to be away for an hour or two. If you can't make one yourself using grub-mkrescue I can make you one when I get back.
[20:08] <Jordan_U> sstory: Please pastebin the exact and complete output of that command.
[20:09] <sstory> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15417546/
[20:14] <Emperor_Earth> Jordan_U: That would be fabulous. I don't have a local *nix machine available, this was going to be a dev laptop. I've been trying all day yesterday to get it to work with Windows/Imgburn but couldn't get it to work.
[20:14] <Bashing-om> davidcalle: Finished reading the bug report .. ouch .. still prevalent to this time .. I see no real fix offered .. appreciate the advisement !
[20:15] <sstory> Jordan_U: I don't know why that doesn't work. I gave up and did chmod -R and let it do the directory as well even though I was only interested in the files. That seems to work.

[20:16] <skyrid3r> Greetings all.. if someone removes a file with samba (from windows deleting a file on ubuntu).. can I figure out which file was removed?
[20:18] <Bashing-om> cerry: Great .. Glad you are up and running !
[20:18] <genii> skyrid3r: Only if you had vfs_recycle set up. https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages/vfs_recycle.8.html
[20:24] <skyrid3r> crap
[20:25] <nealshire> is there a version of ubuntu someone would recommend for my aunt who doesn't know much about computers? her pc has an ATI Radeon x300 SE, PCIe. pretty old card
[20:26] <pbx> nealshire, "doesn't know much about computers" is not a good target demo really, not without handholding.  IMO
[20:27] <nealshire> better than what she has curretly, winXP. all she wants is email
[20:27] <nealshire> maybe chromeOS but I don't know how well it supports legacy things
[20:28] <migmolrod> my mother didn't and doesn't know anything about computers. only for mail and youtube, she seems quite happy with ubuntu (in a netbook which had windows 7)
[20:29] <Bashing-om> nealshire: Maybe: Lubuntu is a faster, more lightweight and energy saving variant of Ubuntu using LXDE, the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment. It is targeted at "normal" PC and laptop users running on low-spec hardware.
[20:29] <migmolrod> yes, i was also about to recommend Lubuntu
[20:30] <RJ45> I am having problems getting the 950M in my laptop to work preoperly for games, have tried every single driver I can with Xubuntu 14.04.4, several re-installs, I have experienced a little success with Xubuntu 16.04.beta with Nvidia-361-update drivers (I can actually get to the desktop now), but now I have a whole other problem, Steam throws-up "OpenGL GLX Extention not supported on this display", what can I do?
[20:31] <RJ45> I have been working on this for over half a day now
[20:32] <nealshire> does lubuntu run on the standard ubuntu/debian updates like linux mint does?
[20:33] <migmolrod> i have a little question about dual booting. i already had win 10 (with the 500MB "System reserved" partition). then i installed ubuntu 15.10 and it correctly installed grub2.
[20:33] <migmolrod> but when i restarted, windows 10 booted. no grub2 selection list. so i installed easybcd and it correctly detected ubuntu.
[20:33] <migmolrod> restarted again: now i see both systems in easybcd boot screen, select ubuntu and grub2 appears.
[20:33] <migmolrod> how can i get rid of easybcd?
[20:33] <migmolrod> now in ubuntu "Disks" utility, I see the only partition with the "bootable" flag is that 500MB system reserved from windows
[20:34] <migmolrod> if i make that non-bootable and make bootable the ext4 ubuntu partition... would it work?
[20:34] <bazhang> !info easybcd
[20:34] <migmolrod> easybcd is "grub for windows"-like utility
[20:34] <bazhang> just use grub
[20:34] <migmolrod> that's what i'm trying.............
[20:35] <bazhang> there's really no way to tell you about easybcd and other windows type products
[20:36] <migmolrod> forget about easybcd. the thing is: if i change the System-reserved partition to make it non-bootable and make bootable the ext4 ubuntu partition... would it work?
[20:37] <bazhang> migmolrod, change how
[20:37] <bazhang> grub-install , update-grub is the ubuntu way to do it
[20:38] <bazhang> migmolrod, did you want a link to the grub2 wiki for that
[20:38] <migmolrod> grub2 is working. but that other partition has precedence
[20:39] <migmolrod> my actual grub2 is showing ubuntu and windows correctly. the thing is how to bypass the system-reserved partition from windows
[20:39] <migmolrod> ubuntu server 15.10, i installed gnome DE through tasksel after. and here i have an application called "Disks"
[20:39] <migmolrod> here i can make partitions non-bootable (or that's what it seems at first glance)
[20:44] <kamil> 2 dzień po instalacji ubuntu, czuje się jak młodzieniaszek z późnych lat 90tych poznający komputery, chaty i internet na minuty;)
[20:46] <bazhang> !pl | kamil
[20:47] <kamil> ok, thx for info
[20:56] <Lingo> im trying to unpack a single file from a tar that has an 85gb database file in it
[20:56] <Lingo> however whenever i unrun tar -zxvf with the file i want to get, it freezes
[20:56] <Lingo> whenever i try to unpack the entire contents and --exclude the 85gb file, it still freezes
[20:57] <Lingo> why is --exclude freezing on the 85gb file?
[20:57] <Lingo> its a tar.gz
[20:58] <l4m8d4> Does anyone know how to make apt show all the new changes before installing software when "apt-get dist-upgrade"ing? On my debian machines, I always install apt-listchanges and it will do that, but on ubuntu this doesn't seem enough...
[20:59] <pbx> Lingo, quantify "freezes" - how long do you wait? are you seeing the untar process taking lots of cpu?   re --exclude, are you sure your syntax is right? try on a smaller tarball to make sure
[20:59] <Lingo> ive waited an hour, nothing happens
[20:59] <nicomachus> l4m8d4: -u or --show-upgraded?
[20:59] <Lingo> i need just one small file from the tar.gz
[20:59] <Lingo> the syntax is right
[20:59] <nicomachus> l4m8d4: man apt should tell you everything.
[20:59] <Lingo> ive done it on smaller tars
[21:00] <Lingo> when i --exclude, it freezes at the directory right before the 85 gb one
[21:01] <Lingo> it doesnt continue decompressing
[21:01] <Lingo> and it also doesnt try to unpack the 85gb file
[21:01] <jewel> hello
[21:01] <Lingo> its weird
[21:01] <Lingo> hi
[21:02] <nicomachus> Lingo: use the --verbose flag and check the error?
[21:02] <Lingo> ok
[21:02] <dax> l4m8d4: install apt-listchanges, then do sudo dpkg-reconfigure apt-listchanges
[21:03] <dax> l4m8d4: it'll ask a bunch of configuration questions, the setting for showing changes before installing is in there
[21:03] <l4m8d4> nicomachus: --show-upgraded doesn't seem to do it unfortunately
[21:03] <Lingo> theres no error, it just stops in its tracks when it gets to the folder
[21:03] <Lingo> but its also not uncompressing the folder
[21:03] <l4m8d4> dax: That I will try, seems what I'm lookng for!
[21:03] <Lingo> it just stops and freezes right on it
[21:04] <Lingo> i guess ill just unpack and wait for hours
[21:04] <jewel> please! help me to create online judge on ubuntu
[21:05] <Pici> jewel: Whats an online judge?
[21:06] <jewel> online contest
[21:10] <l4m8d4> dax: I can't confirm right now if that was the right tip, but since I saw the same config screen on debian and the configs seem to be what I need I guess you had the right tip, thanks!
[21:10] <l4m8d4> I could confirm if there was something to upgrade right now :D
[21:10] <dax> hehe :)
[21:11] <jewel> http://acm.tuit.uz/contest.php this is online contest!
[21:15] <xangua> No :-(

[21:23] <k3nz0> Hey guys. I'm having a device connected to my router through ethernet cable while I'm connected through wireless. Is their a way I can get the traffic going from my device ?
[21:24] <krobzaur> Hello all. I'm working with an ubuntu VM and attempting to add 2 NICs to it. Whenever I add an IP to the second NIC, I lose connectivity to my first NIC. Is there something within the OS that is causing this to happen? Maybe some sort of routing problem?
[21:24] <Dinner4Breakfast> is there a 2D or unaccelerated equivalent for compiz grid?
[21:24] <radxxx> Hi. Need some help again with my Nvidia driver. Afer fixing the blurryness with the help of you guys using the 361 driver, I have another isssue after yesterdays system update, After boot I end up on a black screen with white lines n blocks, sometimes changing to color blocks. Cant make out any text. Going into recovery mode and removing Nvidia drivers fixes it but those drivers cause a lot of screen lag. Running Ubuntu Mate 15.10 with
[21:24] <radxxx> Nvidia Gtx970 with dual monitor setup. All help appriciated
[21:24] <rypervenche> k3nz0: You want to stop using wireless and start using wired once wired is connected?
[21:25] <thebwt> k3nz0: not from that setup, no. But if you just put a hub between the device and the router, then attach another deivce, pop it into promsic mode and open wireshark up you should be able to
[21:25] <thebwt> k3nz0: specifically those packets aren't replicated over wifi, and even if you were wired, a switch is smart and only sends you things that are meant for you
[21:26] <thebwt> unless ARP poisoning... but we'll leave that for another debate
[21:26] <k3nz0> thebwt: so there isn't a way to intercept it ?
[21:27] <thebwt> k3nz0: nope
[21:27] <k3nz0> thebwt: Yep I'm talking about arp poisining
[21:27] <thebwt> then you can do your own googling, that's probably out of scope for this channel

[21:42] <jayweston> Does anyone else get unsavory images from Wiki Reference when they search for gedit in the start menu?
[21:50] <minasota> I have that turned off. What kind of results are you getting?
[21:50] <mcphail> jayweston: yes. That's nasty
[21:51] <jayweston> genital wart modification pictures
[21:51] <mcphail> jayweston: file a bug. Thankfully this is going to be turned off by default in the next release
[21:51] <minasota> yeah... Sucks that it's not turned off by default
[21:51] <jayweston> How do you file a bug?
[21:52] <mcphail> !bug | jayweston
[21:52] <jayweston> It almost showed up during a presentation
[21:52] <mcphail> jayweston: yes - there have been several episodes of unsavoury images appearing in the search
[21:53] <dax> !onlinesearch
[21:53] <jayweston> Thanks for the help... I am glad it is not just me
[21:53] <jayweston> I am just going to turn off the wiki reference
[21:55] <minasota> How is it helpful to have online results appear in the search by default? Not flaming here, but I judge even if something came up in the search, you would still have to view the full content in a browser. Doesn't make sense
[21:57] <k1l_> minasota: just look at what google does on its page when you enter something. seems like a lot people demand/are using it.
[21:57] <dax> minasota: clearly it's not, since it's going away by default next release
[21:58] <dax> stuff gets tried. sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't *shrug*
[22:00] <minasota> dax: going away completely or just going ways as default?
[22:01] <minasota> dax: nevermind
[22:02] <minasota> k1l_: yeah, I see your point
[22:03] <Emperor_Earth_> Hey, Jordan_U, are you back?
[22:20] <fearnothing> hi guys, need some help troubleshooting an ubuntu box which is occasionally experiencing graphical problems
[22:21] <fearnothing> the issue is that it will sometimes produce a corrupted screen, just grey with random coloured lines
[22:21] <eameo> a
[22:22] <fearnothing> I initially suspected the graphics card so I've been running glmark2 but nothing's come up
[22:22] <k1l_> fearnothing: what ubuntu exactly? what kernel? what video card? what video driver?
[22:22] <fearnothing> 14.04 64 bit, Radeon HD5850... I think I got it to install the proprietary driver but can't remember
[22:22] <fearnothing> how do I check?
[22:23] <k1l_> fearnothing: lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use'
[22:23] <k1l_>  
[22:23] <k1l_> that will print your driver in use
[22:24] <fearnothing> fglrx_pci
[22:24] <k1l_> apt-cache policy fglrx
[22:24] <k1l_> that will show if its from the ubuntu repo or a website
[22:25] <bunjee> Does Ubuntu have any casino type games...like slots, black jack etc.?
[22:25] <fearnothing> ubuntu restricted packages
[22:26] <bunjee> fearnothing - does that mean no?
[22:26] <k1l_> fearnothing: what is "uname -a"?
[22:27] <SCHAAP137> i have an issue with my device labeling; my external USB3 disk is suddenly /dev/sda, while i performed the installation to /dev/sdb which is now /dev/sdc, my windows disk was /dev/sda and is now /dev/sdb, etc
[22:27] <bprompt> bunjee:     it has an app called "patience", it comes with blackjack, solataire and other card games
[22:27] <SCHAAP137> can i solve this with a udev rule?

[22:27] <XavierCL> Hi everyone, I have problem with Ubuntu mate 16.04 beta fresh installed, I can't install nothing please see the error http://pastebin.com/cxA8Xujw, I tried changing the mirror and nothing, same error, any idea?
[22:28] <k1l_> fearnothing: ok. you could check the 15.10 backports kernel and xorg on the 14.04 to see if it works better with that.
[22:28] <k1l_> !hwe | fearnothing
[22:29] <k1l_> XavierCL: for unstable releases see #ubuntu+1
[22:29] <fearnothing> ubottu - I appreciate your help but actually I have reason to suspect there might be an actual fault with the graphics card
[22:29] <bprompt> bunjee:    kpatience that is, it should be in the repositories, it has 12 card games
[22:29] <XavierCL> ok k1l_
[22:29] <fearnothing> specifically, it took a knock
[22:29] <fearnothing> so I want to find a way of stress testing it to eliminate that first
[22:29] <fearnothing> can you suggest something more intensive than glmark2?
[22:29] <nealshire> should I use FAT or FAT32 for installing a ubuntu ISO onto?
[22:30] <bunjee> bprompt: thank you....I'll check it out.....
[22:30] <k1l_> nealshire: neither. the iso is a iso that already includes everything.
[22:30] <nealshire> but it needs a filesystem to be loaded onto
[22:30] <k1l_> nealshire: what tool do you use?
[22:30] <bunjee> bprompt: what exactly do you mean by repositories?
[22:31] <nealshire> I am using universal usb installer

[22:32] <bprompt> bunjee:   repositories, check in Software Center, for "kpatience"
[22:32] <fearnothing> lol I am dozy tonight
[22:32] <fearnothing> I've met ubottu before
[22:32] <fearnothing> completely didn't twig
[22:32] <bunjee> bprompt: just did - it doesn't have black jack or slots from what I can tell....
[22:33] <bprompt> hmm
[22:33] <nealshire> alright it's using FAT32. I had to format the drive before I used the tool since my drive had no allocated partitions
[22:34] <Anthony-L_> 'sudo fdisk /devl/sda3'
[22:34] <Anthony-L_> trying to delete a partition
[22:34] <Anthony-L_> could use some help
[22:34] <Anthony-L_> i'm in the "m" menu
[22:35] <Anthony-L_> kinda scared to navigate
[22:35] <bprompt> bunjee:    actually... I think you're correct, seems to be all solitaire :/
[22:36] <bunjee> bprompt: ya think there are any games like I want?
[22:36] <mojtaba> I know that I can use -D option in ssh and using foxyproxy tunnel my connection through the server. Is there any way to do the same thing, but via command line? (I mean instead of foxyproxy in the web browser, direct my traffic using terminal through the server)
[22:36] <TiCPU> Anthony-L_, you mean, sudo fdisk /dev/sda    you're editing the disk.  If it is too scary and you have a GUI running, try gparted
[22:36] <Anthony-L_> TiCPU: gparted crashes right when i load it up
[22:36] <Anthony-L_> TiCPU: that's why i have to do it this way.
[22:36] <Anthony-L_> TiCPU: it crashes teh system.
[22:36] <Anthony-L_> the*
[22:41] <bprompt> bunjee:    was thinking there may be a java version of it -> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20462117/java-blackjack-gui-paintcomponent-drawimage-not-displaying-all-the-cards
[22:46] <fearnothing> ok, there must be something else wrong with this system
[22:46] <k1l_> fearnothing: see the logs
[22:47] <k1l_> fearnothing: like syslog and xorg.log in /var/log/
[22:47] <fearnothing> yeah, I had a look, nothing helpful that I can find, but my parents turned it off after it had the issue repeatedly
[22:47] <fearnothing> so I don't have a definitive time/date I can look for
[22:47] <fearnothing> they haven't used it in months
[22:47] <k1l_> fearnothing: then see the old logs there. they get renamed after shutdown
[22:47] <fearnothing> and I can't reproduce it
[22:47] <fearnothing> I know, but I have to know -when- to look for in order to know whether I'm seeing something that's relevant
[22:48] <k1l_> fearnothing: you could still see if the hardware-enablement-stack (backported kernel and xorg) helps

[23:31] <Kramerboy> Hello, I have attempted to use rsync with "-azvP" from a backup server to an NTFS partition on an external hard drive. I have realized that Ive used the wrong params and did Ctrl C to kill rsync when it asked for password. Did anything happen to the NTFS partition?
[23:32] <mlvmhn> done, so no more red warnings in the system now?
[23:33] <k1l_> mlvmhn: "sudo apt update && sudo apt fullupgrade" will tell
[23:33] <mlvmhn> k thx

[23:42] <T423234234> Hi. Just wanted to say I'm impressed with the patience with users and questions here. Seems no question is under the bar and no user perception is too slow to really annoy people.
[23:43] <Jordan_U> Emperor_Earth_: Still haven't gotten home (on a cellphone currently). I could do it from here but it would be prohibitively annoying. I'll probably have a chance in about 7 hours, maybe earlier.
[23:43] <T423234234> Patience with users is now on my list of learning points...
[23:44] <radxxx> Need some help again with my Nvidia driver. Afer fixing the blurryness with the help of you guys using the 361 driver, I have another isssue after yesterdays system update, After boot I end up on a black screen with white lines n blocks, sometimes changing to color blocks.

[23:54] <Bashing-om> radxxx: Let's get a direction to work from .. WE do not want to go the OEM route .. make sure it is not a part of this equation. Show in a pastebin ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ' // We consider means and ways to re-install the driver .
[23:56] <radxxx> not much info in dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia. just 4 lines
