[00:00] Blakes5, yes i used it yesterday but now and it work properly [00:03] casy see if it's still detected in lsusb [00:03] casy then do everything else I told you and see what you find in dmesg [00:03] Blakes5, ok [00:03] I have to run everything with sudo command. is there a way to avoid this? [00:04] 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] sudo: cd: command not found [00:04] rexwin_: commands requiring root privileges have to be run using sudo. [00:05] rexwin_: and sudo cd is expected to be not working. [00:05] how to then cd to another directory [00:05] use cd without sudo. [00:05] rexwin_: that sounds awkward. what are you doing there? [00:06] rexwin_: sudo is like a unlocked gun. only use it when you really need it. [00:06] 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] rexwin_: what did you do? [00:06] rexwin_: what is a pain? [00:06] cd /root [00:07] pain to type everything [00:07] rexwin_: sudo -i then run cd /root [00:07] rexwin_: just do "cd". that should you bring back to your users homw [00:07] rexwin_: what are you actually trying to do? [00:07] Permission denied [00:07] <\9> why do you need to access /root? [00:07] 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] rexwin_: can you copy your prompt? [00:08] \9: sudo ls is pretty pointless. [00:08] yes, I suppose so [00:08] <\9> bekks: not if you're trying to access /root, which normal users cannot see [00:08] stop using sudo! [00:08] <\9> see into* [00:09] \9: sudo -i; then cd /root [00:09] 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] casy did you find anything in dmesg that indicates a problem? [00:09] rexwin_: send mail? [00:10] rexwin_: so what are you doing there? besides sending email. [00:10] ~/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] 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] rexwin_: so how does that involve using sudo? [00:12] rexwin_, did you make /secbat while using sudo mkdir ? maybe a permissions problem [00:13] squinty: sudo mkdir is irrelevant to this problem. [00:14] squinty: default UMASK is 0022, so the directory would still be accesible. [00:14] using sudo at this point is just nonsense. [00:15] this is specifically happening in crontab [00:15] bekks, never told him to use sudo [00:16] rexwin_: explain what you are doing there. [00:17] and why you are using sudo in crontab. [00:17] ~/MARUTItest.sh runs fine and sends an email but /secbat/MARUTItest.sh does run but doesnot send an email [00:17] 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] ntu anyway [00:17] Does anyone know what might be causing this? [00:17] I never use sudo for crontab -e or -l [00:18] Rochvellon, might want to check Autostart applications to see if Dropbox is be started at bootup [00:18] rexwin_: start. explaining. your. actual. issue. [00:19] squinty: yes, Dropbox is autostarting [00:21] 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] ~/MARUTItest.sh runs fine and sends an email but /secbat/MARUTItest.sh does run but doesnot send an email [00:22] 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] rexwin_: explain why you are using sudo at that point. [00:23] I am getting TVSMOTORtest.sh: line 4: [: -lt: unary operator expected but when I move that file into ~ folder it runs fine? [00:23] rexwin_: fix your script, at first instance. [00:23] because I can't edit anything [00:24] not a sudo problem at all. [00:24] script runs finewhen in ~ folder /home/ubuntu but doesnot run elsewhere [00:24] rexwin_: so fix that script. [00:25] rexwin_: please seriously think about file and owner permissions and stop running script blindly with sudo [00:27] OK, I think my issue is related to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1359689 [00:27] Launchpad bug 1359689 in linux (Ubuntu Vivid) "cryptsetup password prompt not shown" [Critical,Triaged] [00:27] has anyone ever seen this before ------------> /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lnl-genl-3 ????

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] 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] and then make sure to run fsck on it [01:01] sansai: that's at a minimum, i suppose [01:01] sansai: "sync" will close all writing processes. [01:02] sansai: but that look more like the usb device is somewhat broken [01:03] thanks. I cant see the device any longer, so don't think I can eject it [01:04] sync ran without problems [01:09] Blakes5, i just try the lsusb command and the dmesg|grep and it gave no error [01:15] casy, did you use that command with "deviceName" or wlan0 (or whatever your device is); it should be the latter one [01:16] squinty, i used the device ID gotten from the lsusb command [01:18] casy: ok just double checking (sometimes newbies use "deviceName" etc) [01:19] anyone here ?

Although in your pastebin, you have it as 8-20 which should work [06:10] lotuspsychje: I meant physically [06:10] actually I just want it to work, and I just want to sleep :( [06:10] RJ45: an easy test would be testing other ubuntu version in live [06:11] I need Xubuntu though, Xubuntu currently only has 14.04.4 LTS [06:13] 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] RJ45: http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/ [06:13] anyone know any edits worth trying? [06:13] RJ45: xorg shouldnt be edited anymore [06:13] RJ45: a driver should work or not [06:13] lotuspsychje: yeah, notice how the LTS there doesn't got higher than 14.04.4 [06:14] which is what I'm using [06:14] RJ45: if you press on the 32/64bit torrent there is 15.10 [06:15] RJ45: or daily xubuntu 16.04: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/daily-live/current/ [06:15] 15.10 is not LTS [06:15] RJ45: i never said so [06:15] RJ45: i said, its worth for your hard to test out [06:15] card [06:15] *sigh* [06:16] RJ45: your choice, try beta drivers from hateball, make a new bug on 14.04 or testout higher ubuntu versions [06:18] I might try and see if I can get Debian working instead, I'd rather not though [06:26] brb [06:30] hello, anyone can help me ? [06:30] 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] there is no error when I do the same thing with kernel 3.19.0-25-generic [06:30] anything I should do to solve the issue ? [06:31] chenli, did the ./configure step run properly? [06:31] chenchacha: openvswitch? [06:31] chenli: ^ [06:31] ouroumov: yes! I believe so [06:33] chenli, looks to me that it's a problem with the code you're compiling, do ovs have a support channel? [06:33] lotuspsychje: yes! Actually I'm using the openstack devstack doing the installation... [06:33] chenli: why not install the one from repos? [06:33] ouroumov: y, there is a channel openvswitch... no one answers me... [06:33] !info openvswitch-switch | chenli [06:33] chenli: openvswitch-switch (source: openvswitch): Open vSwitch switch implementations. In component main, is extra. Version 2.4.0-0ubuntu4 (wily), package size 1140 kB, installed size 5609 kB [06:34] lotuspsychje: o.. let me have a try on openvswitch-switch.. thanks! [06:35] 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] ubottu: lotuspsychje the openvswitch-switch channel is empty.... [06:35] chenli: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:35] 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] RJ45: we already pointed you serveral options to try mate [06:36] RJ45: if your not happy about current performance on driver= bug [06:37] I'd be happy with the performance if it even did anything at-all whatsoever [06:42] 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 === fatminmin1 is now known as fatmimin [06:48] mgor: no I disabled UEFI [06:49] RJ45: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-361 [06:49] ..just tried it, now I'm back to square one with a black screen [06:49] yaaay.. ¬_¬ [06:49] RJ45: Do you still have a xorg.conf ? [06:49] RJ45, ok, then I'm out of ideas :) === fatmimin is now known as fatminmin [06:50] I regenerated it with sudo nvidia-xconfig [06:50] mgor: thx anyways :) [06:52] 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] hateball: any ideas?, maybe you know some xorg.conf hacks I could try? [06:54] I can get a tty [07:04] RJ45: your card is optimus right [07:04] RJ45: did you install nvidia-prime? [07:06] I don't think it's Optimus, it's a Geforce 950M [07:07] and no I havn't tried nvidia-prime, should I? what does it do? [07:07] RJ45: 950m is a laptop card right [07:07] yep [07:08] this is a pain in the ass laptop :/ [07:08] RJ45: so your card has optimus technology you need nvidia-prime [07:08] !info nvidia-prime [07:08] nvidia-prime (source: nvidia-prime): Tools to enable NVIDIA's Prime. In component main, is optional. Version 0.8.1 (wily), package size 10 kB, installed size 114 kB (Only available for i386; amd64) [07:08] RJ45: you need it, to set your card to performance mode [07:08] 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] I guess I'll try it [07:09] RJ45: in combination with the right driver of course [07:09] hybrid gpus need to diaf [07:09] okay BRB, gonna apt that -get :P [07:10] RJ45: you can set performance enabled with nvidia-settings if things worked out good [07:12] AND YET AGAIN, that didn't do a dog-darn thing [07:12] still a black screen on reboot [07:13] RJ45: like i said, it needs the right combo with a working driver [07:13] what driver would that be? [07:13] RJ45: and if you dont get the default ubuntu drivers to work= bug [07:13] RJ45: the one working best for your system [07:14] RJ45: test them all one-by-one from your additional drivers list [07:15] okay, so I should purge nvidia-661 to get to the desktop, then try the additional drivers thingy again [07:15] RJ45: if the 661 is giving you black, you cant otherwise [07:17]
