[00:01] <Lisandriah> anybody know?
[00:08] <Hydr0p0nX> Lisandriah, does dmesg show anything ?
[00:11] <maaku> Lisandriah: could be tons of things. look to dmesg
[00:11] <ilken> How can I setup crontab to run a command as root every 1 minute ?  any example?
[00:15] <reisio> ilken: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron#Configuration_file
[00:15] <reisio> ilken: so * * * * *
[00:16] <ilken> reisio let me check that page most the examples ive tried from community help pages have not worked as expected
[00:19] <Lisandriah> I don't know what to look for in dmesg it just says a bunch of usb stuff the alert it gives is /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxx does not exist dropping to shell and then just the busybox (initramfs) thing
[00:21] <reisio> ilken: * means match anything
[00:21] <reisio> ilken: so * * * * * means every minute, of every hour, of every day of the month, of every month, of every day of the week
[00:21] <ilken> so * * * * * sudo service tor restart   will restart tor every minute?
[00:22] <reisio> ilken: probably, try it; you might have to use absolute paths for executables, I forget
[00:22] <LJHSLDJHSDLJH> Does anyone knows what might be the reason that when I type the names of newly installed applications in unity launcher nothing appears!?
[00:23] <reisio> LJHSLDJHSDLJH: like what?
[00:23] <LJHSLDJHSDLJH> reisio: like bluetooth manager
[00:23] <LJHSLDJHSDLJH> bluefish
[00:23] <LJHSLDJHSDLJH> skype
[00:25] <LJHSLDJHSDLJH> this is a brand new one day old installation of wily distro
[00:29] <Hydr0p0nX> Lisandriah, do an "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ " without quotes
[00:29] <ilken> that did work reisio thanks very much
[00:30] <reisio> gj
[00:30] <reisio> LJHSLDJHSDLJH: bluefish doesn't show up?
[00:30] <Hydr0p0nX> then compare it against the output of "cat /etc/fstab" without quotes
[00:31] <Hydr0p0nX> if you see one in fstab that's not in the output of ls, that's the problem and you need to fix it in fstab
[00:33] <LJHSLDJHSDLJH> reisio: my mistake it shows up, I just confirmed but not Skype nor other applications like Okular
[00:35] <Revian1> What c an I do to have apps open in the same place I had them when they were closed? I would like all app windows to open centered on the screen.
[00:35] <Lisandriah> ls: /dev/disk/by-uuid/: no such file or directory
[00:40] <reisio> LJHSLDJHSDLJH: skype may well be in /opt/ (dpkg -L skype | grep -i bin)
[00:40] <Lisandriah> does it mean my hd is dead?
[00:40] <reisio> LJHSLDJHSDLJH: okular is a bit odd; it might be in some bizarre KDE path, though (dpkg -L okular | grep -i bin)
[00:41] <reisio> Lisandriah: you can't boot?
[00:42] <Lisandriah> nah it just says alert /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxx does not exist dropping to shell and then i just get a busybox (initramfs) thing and I tried installing 3 times from 14.04.4
[00:43] <TJ-> Lisandriah: do you currently have the busybox shell in front of you?
[00:45] <sruli> i've been having a problem since yesterday, i have a usb stick (luks), every 1-2 hours it dismounts when i try to remount i get an error "exited with non-zero exit status 5: Device luks-xxxx-xxxx already exists" i last thing that changed was a system update, kernel was updated to 3.16.0-67
[00:45] <sruli> and when i try to run lsusb 3 out of 5 times it hangs
[00:47] <geggam> so.... quick question... i have this windows machine with the ubuntu userland running... sort of curious ... is this the place to ask questions or will the channel catch on fire ?
[00:47] <geggam> cause the windows guys said they wont help
[00:47] <Lisandriah> TJ-: I just booted the livecd again to try installing with updating to see if that was the issue but it will probably be back to that screen in like 5 minutes
[00:48] <geggam> is it ubuntu or is it windows ... i guess is my question
[00:49] <TJ-> Lisandriah: shout if/when you hit the busybox shell. First thing when you're in it, do "cat /proc/cmdline" and report what the root=.... parameter is set to
[00:50] <lzwriter> I have a 11.6 dell inspiron with celeron + 2gb ram. Is there a ultra-lightweight-ubuntu I can install?
[00:50] <lzwriter> I have a 11.6 dell inspiron with celeron + 2gb ram. Is there a ultra-lightweight-ubuntu I can install? (this is not a chromebook; this is just a regular cheap laptop)
[00:51] <reisio> geggam: it's Windows, with emulated Ubuntu userland
[00:51] <geggam> i know that
[00:51] <geggam> who supports it ?
[00:52] <reisio> geggam: so it's both, but Windows is the "host"
[00:52] <reisio> geggam: I'm sure you can get some support for the Ubuntu portion here, but I wouldn't advertize you're using Windows :p
[00:52] <geggam> fair enough
[00:52] <Bashing-om> lzwriter: 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.
[00:53] <reisio> geggam: if I had to guess, it will barely ever work :p but that'd only be a guess
[00:53] <geggam> makes me wonder when ubuntu  / windows is merging
[00:53] <geggam> :)
[00:53] <lzwriter> Bashing-om: what if Ll I want is just linux + vim
[00:53] <reisio> good way for Microsoft to look more friendly than it is, and Canonical to look more like it has a seat at the table than it does :p
[00:53] <LJHSLDJHSDLJH> reisio: they're both into the /usr/foldername/bin ... but what to do with this info? I want to the program names to appear in the unity launcher
[00:53] <reisio> geggam: well, if Microsoft isn't daft, they will, when they become no longer profitable as they've known, start selling open source software only
[00:53] <LJHSLDJHSDLJH> although I can manully run them from command line
[00:54] <reisio> LJHSLDJHSDLJH: probably your PATH variable does not include those paths
[00:54] <Bashing-om> !minimal | lzwriter then there is a learning curve with:
[00:54] <geggam> microsofts history is the opposite reisio ...the absorb... looking at the market i think they have enough $$ yet to buy ubuntu
[00:54] <reisio> LJHSLDJHSDLJH: put 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/foldername/bin:/usr/otherfoldername/bin' into ~/.bashrc and source ~/.bashrc (or log out and back in)
[00:54] <geggam> 2 cents... just curious
[00:54] <geggam> thanks
[00:55] <reisio> geggam: well, most of their money is tied up in paying old dudes
[00:55] <reisio> that's why they're so cutthroat in business
[00:55] <reisio> it's about profits :p
[00:55] <codepanda> trying to install ajenti in 16.04, but it complains about python-support and python-reconfigure packages... trying to figure out where to file a bug

[01:02] <Lisandriah> TJ-: root=/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root
[01:02] <carpediembaby> Hello, how can I set the encoding of the terminal to UTF8
[01:03] <reisio> carpediembaby: what makes you think it isn't set that way already?
[01:04] <TJ-> Lisandriah: OK, so that tells us you did an LVM install. Did you also ask for full-disk encryption?
[01:06] <hilx> carpediembaby, put  export LANG=en_US.UTF-8   ..in ~/.bashrc  , this should do it
[01:06] <carpediembaby> reisio: I am being told that in #python. I don't know the code points myself but here is an example: http://pastebin.com/ppihichx
[01:07] <Lisandriah> nope I didn't click encryption and I told it to wipe the entire disk
[01:09] <carpediembaby> reisioI, hilx : I have two options under "Set character encoding". 1. Current locale UTF8, 2. Unicode UTF8 and I get the same results. I have already set the LANG environment variable
[01:10] <TJ-> Lisandriah: OK, so if you type "lvm" do you get a command running?
[01:11] <hilx> carpediembaby, did you re-login or restart after changing the LANG var?
[01:11] <Lisandriah> yes
[01:12] <carpediembaby> hilx: no. Just before running my program, echo $LANG yields en_US.UTF-8
[01:14] <TJ-> Lisandriah: right, let's use the lvm's tooling to investigate. if you type "help" you should get some lvm overviews as to what is available. Start with "pvs" and "pvscan" to scan for valid LVM Physical Volumes (the things that contain LVM Volume Groups (VGs))
[01:14] <reisio> carpediembaby: what's python got to do with it?
[01:16] <reisio> carpediembaby: oh, using Python 2? :/
[01:16] <Lisandriah> pvs showed nothing and pvscan says no matching physical volumes found
[01:16] <reisio> http://farmdev.com/talks/unicode/
[01:19] <TJ-> Lisandriah: strange and sad, let me think!
[01:20] <iman> Hi, I am trying to login in ubuntu server but I get this message: permission denied (publickey).
[01:20] <TJ-> Lisandriah: type 'exit' to get out the 'lvm' shell, then at the busybox shell do "ls /dev/mapper/" and do you see anything other than "control"
[01:20] <Lisandriah> just control
[01:20] <iman> Here is my ssh_config http://paste.ubuntu.com/15572773/
[01:21] <iman> PasswordAuthentication yes
[01:21] <hilx> carpediembaby, worth a try... put that export LANG command in .bashrc AND .profile .. logout completely and re-login
[01:21] <TJ-> Lisandriah: try "blkid"
[01:21] <kingchocomelch> I need serious help with my ubuntu disk :(
[01:21] <Brz> storms
[01:22] <kingchocomelch> I submitted it to askubuntu already but theres is a bit of time sensitive stuff
[01:22] <kingchocomelch> http://askubuntu.com/questions/752088/gnu-grub-ubuntu-option-gone
[01:22] <Lisandriah> returns nothing at all
[01:22] <Lisandriah> would a failing drive cause this? because the laptop is pretty old
[01:24] <TJ-> Lisandriah: well, it's managed to load the boot-loader and the kernel + initrd.img
[01:25] <TJ-> Lisandriah: what does "cat /proc/partitions" report?
[01:26] <Revian1> What can I do to have apps open in the same place on the screen I had them when they closed? I would like all app windows to open centered on the screen.
[01:27] <Lisandriah> major minor #blocks name but nothing under it
[01:27] <reisio> Revian1: install ccsm, find the placement prefs
[01:27] <Revian1> reisio: Oh, does Ubuntu use Compiz by default?
[01:28] <TJ-> Lisandriah: any chance you can either type it up in a pastebin, or take a photo and upload it for us?
[01:29] <TJ-> Lisandriah: I can't remember off-hand if the initrd has access to "lsblk" - that could help you
[01:34] <reisio> Revian1: yes
[01:35] <Revian1> reisio: Thank you for the help, installing it now. I didn't know Ubuntu used compiz, this should be easy to resolve.
[01:36] <Lisandriah> TJ-: http://imgur.com/GGuKc8z
[01:36] <reisio> "Unity" is GNOME with a few of the top bits removed, including the wm, replaced with compiz
[01:37] <TJ-> Lisandriah: aha! absolutely nothing! That tells us the boot device is unusal, and the drivers required to access it were not added to the initrd.img so the kernel has no view of any block devices at all. The reason you get as far as you do is the BIOS loads GRUB boot-loader, GRUB uses the BIOS disk-access functions to read kernel and initrd.img into memory.
[01:37] <Revian1> reisio: Ah, ok. Good to know.
[01:37] <lzwriter> I just installed ubuntu on a dell 11.6 inspri3no 3000  netbook. Unfortunately, on reboot, it can't find the new installatino (it can't find any bootable media)
[01:37] <TJ-> Lisandriah: so, I'd recommend rebooting it into a LiveISO and then we can use the full tool-set to figure out the disk and what is needed
[01:37] <lzwriter> how do I fix this?
[01:38] <Lisandriah> okay
[01:43] <Lisandriah> I'm on the livecd
[01:47] <deadmund> I cannot turn off my computer.  It only reboots.  I think it's an ACPI issue.  I've tried manyt things to fix it but nothing works.  Any ideas?
[01:49] <Beelsebob> deadmund: stuck power switch?
[01:49] <Beelsebob> could easily just be a mechanical issue
[01:50] <Beelsebob> try unplugging the power switch, and manually shorting to force shutdown
[01:50] <deadmund> Beelsebob: I can shutdown if I hold the power button down for 5 seconds.  I'm fairly sure it's not a stuck power switch.
[01:50] <TJ-> Lisandriah: OK, do "pastebinit <( lsblk )"
[01:51] <Beelsebob> deadmund: okay, so it only fails to shutdown if you do a software controlled one?
[01:51] <deadmund> Beelsebob: Yes.
[01:51] <deadmund> Beelsebob: If I boot with acpi=off then the power button will shutdown the system.  But it dies _immediately_ I am fairly certaint he OS has not flushed everything to disk if I do that.
[01:52] <Mia> How can I find the website of a specific package
[01:52] <Mia> I'm tying to setup a security camera streamer using motion but I believe I'm doing something wrong
[01:53] <Mia> so I'm trying to find an up-to-date guide for the "motion" package
[01:53] <Mia> I hougt finding the website would help
[01:53] <deadmund> Mia: not every package has a website.  Since this is open-source stuff, many software packages will have little to no documentation :(
[01:53] <deadmund> Mia: Have you looked at the man page?
[01:54] <Mia> deadmund, what is a man page ?
[01:54] <deadmund> Mia: for most commands you can type "man <command>" in the terminal and read about how the command is used and what it does.  Try it with man ls  and you can use the "q" button to quit.
[01:54] <Lisandriah> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15572937/
[01:56] <Mia> deadmund, oh yes motion-help displays the same pag with explanations for each setting
[01:56] <Mia> motion -h I mean
[01:56] <TJ-> Lisandriah: right, so its seeing /dev/sda has an Ubuntu install on it. Can you "pastebinit <( dmesg )"
[01:57] <Mia> okay how can I uninstall a software with its settings and related files,
[01:57] <TJ-> Lisandriah: the next step is to use the kernel log to identify what kind of device sda is and therefore what drivers it would epxect to find
[01:57] <Mia> sudo apt-get purge ?
[01:57] <deadmund> Mia: sudo apt-get purge <package-name>
[01:57] <Mia> ok thanks!
[01:59] <Lisandriah> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15572951/
[01:59] <Lisandriah> that is huge
[02:01] <TJ-> Lisandriah: no, that's about what I'd expect
[02:01] <TJ-> Lisandriah: so, a Sony Vaio
[02:02] <TJ-> Lisandriah: can you do "pastebinit <( lspci -nn )"
[02:04] <Lisandriah> TJ-: Yep sony vaio :D http://paste.ubuntu.com/15572995/
[02:06] <TJ-> Lisandriah: sda is a SATA 2 Samsung HM501II 500GB 5,400rpm hard disk
[02:07] <Mia> ı created a file using sudo in my user home folder
[02:07] <Mia> how can I give the ownership of the file to the user
[02:07] <TJ-> Lisandriah: I'm suspicous that in your lsblk output it shows a partition of only 1,024 bytes (/dev/sda2) - that is weird and may point to some fault somewhere
[02:07] <Mia> (I think now it's sudo)
[02:08] <wafflejock> Mia: open a terminal
[02:08] <Mia> yes it's open
[02:08] <wafflejock> Mia: then type ls -al
[02:08] <Mia> I'm using ssh
[02:08] <wafflejock> Mia: it will show you if it's owned by root
[02:08] <Mia> yes it's owned by root
[02:08] <wafflejock> Mia: if so you can use sudo chown myuser theFileHere
[02:08] <Mia> http://i.imgur.com/b2LtI6p.png
[02:08] <Mia> oh ok, let me check
[02:09] <Mia> okay fixed, thank you
[02:09] <wafflejock> Mia: if it's a folder you can use the -R flag after chown for recursive
[02:09] <wafflejock> Mia: np
[02:10] <TJ-> Lisandriah: do the following: "sudo -i" then, now you're root you don't need sudo: "mkdir /target; mount /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root /target; for N in proc sys dev dev/pts etc/resolv.conf; do mount --bind /$N /target/$N; done;"  then, you can enter into the installed system for us to explore it with "chroot /target"
[02:11] <xdevnull> Hello people, Is there any good alternative for photoshop in ubuntu ?
[02:12] <Beelsebob> xdevnull: not a *good* one :/
[02:12] <Beelsebob> there's gimp if you want a mediocre one though
[02:13] <xdevnull> ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
[02:14] <Lisandriah> okay I typed all that
[02:14] <TJ-> Lisandriah: now you should be inside the chroot and can explore
[02:14] <TJ-> first is ti have it mount all its own file-systems, so "mount -a"
[02:15] <TJ-> Lisandriah: then, "ls -l /boot/" and check you see files such as vmlinux-<version> and initrd.img-<version> and others
[02:17] <bmcgahan> how can I vnc over ssh from windows to an ubuntu server?
[02:17] <Lisandriah> when I did mount -a it said mount: special device UUID=xxxxx does not exist
[02:18] <Lisandriah> and ls -l /boot/ says total 0
[02:19] <jaysonlorenzoyea> fdfd
[02:20] <tainthappenin> Hello all
[02:20] <TJ-> Lisandriah: aha! ok try "pastebinit /etc/fstab"
[02:20] <tainthappenin> I have no experience with Linux and I just downloaded ubuntu and want to boot from a USB drive
[02:20] <tainthappenin> can someone please help me and tell me what im doing wrong?
[02:21] <helpwth> im going insane. i have moved all my folders over to my ssd. i have done a grub install and i have done a grub update and i have changed the UUID of fstab and it still says "loading OS error no such device" uuid of old HDD entering rescue mode. can someone please help
[02:21] <tainthappenin> Please? Begging someone for help
[02:22] <Lisandriah> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15573077/
[02:23] <Synchron> Who can tell me why I cant chroot into my Ubuntu with 'kernel too old'?How to solve it?
[02:23] <TJ-> Lisandriah: good, so according to that the file-system mounted at /boot/ should have the UUID=58e7... so lets check those. "pastebinit <( blkid )"
[02:25] <Lisandriah> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15573105/
[02:25] <Bashing-om> tainthappenin: What is the host system you downloaded the .iso file with, and what tool did you use to copy the .iso to the USB drive ?
[02:27] <gartral> ok all.. brand new install of 15.10. Why am I getting "Fatal Error: Unable to connect to PulseAudio: OK" when i try to open the volume manager?!
[02:28] <TJ-> Lisandriah: right - something wrong there. 'blkid' should have returned info on the logical volumes at least, even if not /dev/sda1.
[02:28] <gartral> if it's "OK" then what the heck is the problem?!
[02:28] <Lisandriah> did i mess up that long line and the chroot?
[02:29] <tainthappenin> Hi bashing
[02:29] <tainthappenin> Thanks for responding - mind if I PM you?
[02:29] <TJ-> Lisandriah: possibly; although if so your "/etc/fstab" pastebin wouldn't contain the entries it does
[02:29] <tainthappenin> I'm using Windows 7, and i'm downloading PowerISO right now to mount to USB
[02:29] <tainthappenin> completely new to this
[02:30] <TJ-> Lisandriah: the point is, those VG file-systems are there regardless of whether you scan them from the host LiveISO or the chroot /target installation
[02:30] <Bashing-om> tainthappenin: Best kept here in channel .. be amazed what I do not know, and others here to help .
[02:30] <tainthappenin> haha okay :)
[02:31] <tainthappenin> not used to reading IRC chat - adjusting my eyes to it. It's probably been 10 years
[02:32] <Bashing-om> tainthappenin: Understood, gets busy . What we need to know presently is how you copied the .iso file .. the system matters .
[02:32] <tainthappenin> Okay so i guess i haven't done that really
[02:33] <tainthappenin> I just transferred it to USB and tried to boot from USB a few times
[02:33] <tainthappenin> that didn't work
[02:33] <tainthappenin> i just researched
[02:33] <tainthappenin> and downloaded power ISO
[02:33] <tainthappenin> to try and mount the file
[02:33] <tainthappenin> to the USB
[02:33] <gartral> !spam tainthappenin
[02:33] <tainthappenin> Sorry?
[02:33] <Bashing-om> tainthappenin: OK, so have you got the .iso file ? and have you verified the integrity ?
[02:33] <tainthappenin> No i haven't
[02:33] <Lisandriah> what did I mess up then :(
[02:34] <tainthappenin> can you tell me how to do that?
[02:34] <TJ-> Lisandriah: try this instead: "file -Ls /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root"
[02:34] <tainthappenin> jesus this is much more in depth than i researched... i thought this was going to be easy
[02:34] <TJ-> Lisandriah: It's not you; there's something screwy on that system
[02:35] <TJ-> tainthappenin: with a LiveISO image file, you don't copy it into an existing file-system on the USB device, you overwrite the *entire* USB device (from sector 0) with the ISO image, wiping out anything that is on their already. You do NOT create a file-system on the USB first, or after
[02:35] <Lisandriah> no such file or directory
[02:36] <Lisandriah> should I try an install with an older iso?
[02:36] <Bashing-om> tainthappenin: As you can see, busy channel .. do not use the enter key for puntuation . use complete sentences all on one line . // What is the operating system you used to download the .iso file and we verify it's integrity .
[02:36] <tainthappenin> okay - i got it. So this USB device will be dedicated completely to installing this OS. I used windows 7 64 bit to download
[02:38] <TJ-> tainthappenin: correct, the ISO images are self-contained bootable images of a 'hard' disk
[02:39] <TJ-> tainthappenin: there are several Windows tools (so I'm told) to write the ISO directly onto the USB device, but I can't tell you what they are. I'm sure someone else can step in with recommendations
[02:39] <tainthappenin> I downloaded PowerISO
[02:40] <TJ-> Lisandriah: I think the PC itself has some kind of fault, it seems to be forgetting things.
[02:40] <tainthappenin> Will that work? How do i verify the integrity first?
[02:40] <TJ-> Lisandriah: those commands I gave you earlier would not have worked if that 'file' didn't exist
[02:41] <Lisandriah> hmm
[02:42] <TJ-> tainthappenin: Ubuntu publishes hashes (checksums) of the ISO images to check against. You'll need to get the same hash for the ISO image on Windows of course. You'll see the SHA1SUM or MD5SUM files at http://releases.ubuntu.com/15.10/
[02:42] <Bashing-om> tainthappenin: Ot is easy .. once you have done it a time or 2 . http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows ; http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows .
[02:42] <TJ-> Lisandriah: type 'exit' to leave the chroot and return to the Live ISO env
[02:44] <Bashing-om> !md5sum | tainthappenin
[02:45] <tainthappenin> what is MD5? I need to verify the integrity even though i downloaded from ubuntu website?
[02:46] <TJ-> tainthappenin: it's a checksum of the bytes in the file to ensure it wasn't corrupted in transmission, or when being written from RAM to the PC's disk
[02:47] <TJ-> tainthappenin: even a single bit changed will cause the checksum to change
[02:47] <Bashing-om> tainthappenin: Yeah .. make sure it has not been tampered with ( security) and no errors in the d/l process .
[02:49] <tainthappenin> so this is all done through command prompt?
[02:49] <Lisandriah> okay
[02:49] <tainthappenin> man is there anyone that will let me call them on the phone for this help? feel like im stumbling around in the dark here
[02:50] <linocisco> hi all, my existing office exchange account with one domain is closing soon, and another email service is going to be used with another email account and domain, how can I set up automatic forwarding of all incoming emails on old account to new account using thunderbird?
[02:51] <Bashing-om> tainthappenin: Settle down .. good help is here - if not me - and we will get you through this .
[02:52] <tainthappenin> alright i have downloaded the md5 file and put it in my c\windows
[02:53] <tainthappenin> Now I'm in dos - do i basically need to make the line reference the folder that i put the file in?
[02:54] <Bashing-om> tainthappenin: Good, and now that string of numbers is what ? from the md5check . and we check it .
[02:54] <tainthappenin> i didn't click the md5 file
[02:54] <tainthappenin> I was putting it in there and following the directions to go to cmd prompt
[02:57] <Bashing-om> tainthappenin: Be aware I am no longer Windows literate .. but we fumble through .. Do you know where the .iso file is loacted ? Where it was downloaded to ?
[02:58] <TJ-> ha! got one to stump you: in BASH, how can you capture the ouput of 'time ...' for later processing?
[02:58] <tainthappenin> yes
[02:59] <tainthappenin> i moved it to the folder that the link said to
[02:59] <tainthappenin> C\windows\system32
[03:00] <R13ose> How do I make my trackpad or keyboard not make my mic sound go up and down in 15.10?
[03:01] <Bashing-om> tainthappenin: Windows terminal copmmand ' md5sum -c C\windows\system3\<file_name.iso> ' ..
[03:02] <Bashing-om> tainthappenin: TYpo : md5sum -c C\windows\system32\<file_name.iso>
[03:02] <helpwth> i got frustrated and downloaded live cd on a usb. updated grub and installed grub. in the boot/grub.cfg it shows the right UUID... but when i restart and press C at the grub menu it STILL shows the old HD UUID
[03:03] <tainthappenin> hm it says my syntax is incorrect
[03:03] <tainthappenin> my screen has C:\>
[03:04] <hhee> guys. which last version of skype ubuntu has? in centos i have 4.3.0.37
[03:04] <tainthappenin> i typed md5sum -c C\windows\system32\<md5sum.iso>
[03:05] <tainthappenin> the md5 file is an exe. Does that have something to do with it?
[03:09] <akik> tainthappenin: you use -c to verify the checksum that is in the .md5 file
[03:09] <Bashing-om> tainthappenin: Change the directory to the location ' cd \windows\system32 ' ? and 'dir' to get the file name .
[03:09] <tainthappenin> i don't know what that means totally
[03:09] <tainthappenin> im in system32 now
[03:10] <akik> tainthappenin: try just "md5sum filename.iso"
[03:10] <akik> tainthappenin: then compare the string of chars with the string in the .md5 file
[03:10] <Bashing-om> tainthappenin: And you see the file(s) that you downloaded ?
[03:10] <tainthappenin> okay so when i typed dir
[03:11] <tainthappenin> it brought up a huge list that wouldn't totally fit on my screen - how can i restrict my search so that fewer results pop up?
[03:11] <akik> tainthappenin: you can use "dir *.iso"
[03:11] <tainthappenin> I typed md5sum md5sum.iso and it says no such file
[03:12] <tainthappenin> hmmm when i did that it says volume in drive c is blablabla
[03:12] <tainthappenin> and serial number
[03:12] <akik> tainthappenin: on windows the downloaded files usually go under C:\users\username\ not into c:\windows\system32
[03:13] <tainthappenin> i moved it there
[03:13] <tainthappenin> that's what the link told me to do
[03:13] <tainthappenin> http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[03:14] <tainthappenin> when i typed dir md5sum.exe into my cmd prompt it recognized the file
[03:14] <akik> tainthappenin: "dir *.iso" in the directory you have the iso file will show it
[03:14] <tainthappenin> i promise it's not
[03:15] <tainthappenin> the file that that link told me to download wasn't an iso
[03:15] <tainthappenin> it was an exe
[03:15] <akik> tainthappenin: yes good, you have md5sum.exe. now where's the .iso file?
[03:16] <tainthappenin> ohhhh the linux version? it's in my downloads folder
[03:16] <tainthappenin> should i move it to an easier to get to folder?
[03:17] <akik> tainthappenin: no, you can just enter the full path to it after md5sum.exe
[03:17] <tainthappenin> the file name is ubuntu-15.10-desktop-amd64.iso
[03:17] <tainthappenin> i moved it to my windows folder
[03:19] <tainthappenin> i did it and literally nothing happened
[03:19] <tainthappenin> okay it finally returned a line of code - what am i looking for here?
[03:19] <akik> tainthappenin: now you compare the long string of chars with the md5 checksum for the iso file
[03:20] <tainthappenin> im not sure what you mean
[03:20] <akik> tainthappenin: you ran "md5sum ubuntu-15.10-desktop-amd64.iso" ? did it return "ece816e12f97018fa3d4974b5fd27337 *ubuntu-15.10-desktop-amd64.iso" ?
[03:21] <tainthappenin> yep exactly
[03:21] <akik> tainthappenin: that was to make sure the file is ok
[03:22] <tainthappenin> gotcha - since that code is identical it's okay?
[03:22] <tainthappenin> if you weren't here helping me - where would i have found the string to compare what popped up in my DOS to?
[03:22] <akik> tainthappenin: now you need to write that iso file to the usb stick. i don't know what is the best tool to do that
[03:22] <tainthappenin> i have power ISO
[03:22] <tainthappenin> is that okay?
[03:22] <akik> tainthappenin: it's here http://releases.ubuntu.com/15.10/MD5SUMS
[03:23] <tainthappenin> is all of linux this hard? i feel like maybe im in over my head
[03:23] <akik> tainthappenin: i have heard that this tool has been used successfully before https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
[03:23] <Scooty> Buy a dell laptop pre-installed with ubuntu...
[03:23] <Bashing-om> tainthappenin: See if this helps : http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows .
[03:25] <tainthappenin> man i would be so screwed without all of your help. Wish i could repay you somehow
[03:27] <Bashing-om> tainthappenin: When you get your feet wet with ubuntu .. you will repay .
[03:28] <tainthappenin> when mounting this ISO to the USB i should format (erase content) too right?
[03:29] <akik> tainthappenin: you don't need to mount the iso file. mounting means connecting the iso file into your file system giving you access to its files
[03:29] <Revian1> tainthappenin: It's quite easy to learn. I installed Linux in 1999 and within a week was comfortable enough to wipe Windows off my hard drive
[03:30] <akik> tainthappenin: try installing the tool universal usb installer bashing-om linked to you
[03:32] <akik> oh actually there's usb stick writing in poweriso too if this page is correct http://www.justwebworld.com/create-bootable-usb-drive-using-power/
[03:33] <R13ose> Any thoughts on my question?
[03:34] <tainthappenin> i hae the universal usb installer installed
[03:34] <tainthappenin> it just asks me if i want to format the usb flash drive im using
[03:35] <akik> tainthappenin: the ubuntu.com article has a check mark for that choice
[03:36] <tainthappenin> It's alive! it's working :)
[03:37] <Bashing-om> !cookie | akik
[03:37] <akik> thank you :)
[03:37] <akik> tainthappenin: the best way to pay back is install some more linux machines
[03:38] <tainthappenin> haha i have a couple more old laptops i could convert
[03:40] <tainthappenin> i've never done linux before - will my antivirus still work? or do i even need to worry about that?
[03:40] <Revian1> tainthappenin:  you don't need anit-virus
[03:41] <tainthappenin> whaaaaat? for real?
[03:41] <akik> tainthappenin: yes
[03:41] <tainthappenin> this is.... exciting.
[03:41] <Revian1> Linux is setup in such a way that viruses don't do much damage, they're a waste of time to write for Linux
[03:42] <akik> it looks like universal usb installer does not just write the iso file on the usb stick. it says "Your USB drive must be Fat16/Fat32/NTFS formatted, otherwise Syslinux will fail and your drive will NOT Boot."
[03:42] <tainthappenin> okay i have the USB formatted - next step is to reboot and boot from USB
[03:42] <tainthappenin> right?
[03:42] <Revian1> tainthappenin: However, you still need to be careful about phishing. The user is always the weakest link
[03:42] <tainthappenin> Akik - i formatted it - that was an option for universal usb writer
[03:43] <Bashing-om> !virus | tainthappenin
[03:43] <tainthappenin> ah okay.
[03:44] <zergnm> hi everyone.
[03:44] <tainthappenin> Akik - do you think im okay to go ahead and boot from the USB?
[03:44] <akik> tainthappenin: sure try it
[03:44] <tainthappenin> okay - will i still be able to open the programs i have on my windows partition?
[03:44] <tainthappenin> or starting fresh?
[03:45] <Revian1> you're starting fresh. But, you can still use personal files (pics, docs, etc.)
[03:45] <zergnm> ahm.. i'm a developer, i'd like to know if there's some documentation about the new convergence desktop/mobile's
[03:45] <zergnm> & what languages'd ubuntu use
[03:45] <tainthappenin> alright - see you guys on the other side. thank you all for the help
[03:46] <akik> !touch | zergnm
[03:48] <zergnm> it doesn't says anything helpful.
[03:48] <zergnm> ¿aren't you guys developers?
[03:49] <TJ-> zergnm: everyone here is the same as you
[03:51] <zergnm> i figured, that's why i'm here
[03:52] <dave0x6d> Hmm, having issues updating my new install.
[03:54] <Bashing-om> dave0x6d: As in ??
[03:57] <dave0x6d> Bashing-om: Getting a ton of 404's even after apt-get update
[03:59] <Bashing-om> dave0x6d: On a unsupported release .. 15.04 is EOL  ??
[03:59] <dave0x6d> Bashing-om: 16.04
[03:59] <dave0x6d> xenial
[04:00] <Bashing-om> dave0x6d: Old PPAs that have no support in 16.04 ?
[04:00] <dave0x6d> literally a fresh install
[04:00] <dave0x6d> Failing to fetch stuff off of 91.189.91.23
[04:01] <wjlafrance> dave0x6d, me too. probably a transient problem
[04:06] <Bashing-om> dave0x6d: 16.04 is #ubuntu+1 .. Might inquire there and confirm .
[04:10] <evilbug> what are you guys using for a music player? gonna be switching to linux soon and would like something similar/better than itunes.
[04:13] <Revian1> evilbug: Hello :)
[04:13] <evilbug> Revian1: sup.
[04:15] <Revian1> evilbug: Lots of apps for music. Audacious and VLC come to mind
[04:16] <evilbug> i odn't like vlc for audio, found a list of players.
[04:29] <linocisco> hi all
[04:29] <linocisco> how to download 1080p video from youtube?
[04:30] <somsip> !info youtube-dl | linocisco
[04:30] <linocisco> somsip, apt-get install youtube-dl?
[04:31] <somsip> linocisco: yes
[04:31] <linocisco> somsip, how to use it, via command line?
[04:32] <somsip> linocisco: https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/README.md#readme
[04:32] <somsip> linocisco: a bit less verbose and maybe more helpful http://askubuntu.com/questions/486297/how-to-select-video-quality-from-youtube-dl
[04:38] <linocisco> somsip, thanks. but where will it be downloaded?
[04:38] <crash1hd_> Hey all :) I am fairly new to linux so bare with me, I trying to figure out how to use testdisk or ddrescue properly what i have done so far the drive partitions have gotten all screwed up (I am pretty sure) I ran photorec and it recovered a tonne of data from jpg's to mpg's ext... but put them all in directorys by number and now I have a folder full of folders that are unorganized and it would take me months to sort it
[04:38] <crash1hd_> all out :( I am sure there is a way to fix the partition I just dont really understand how, any advise would be greatly appreciated
[04:38] <somsip> linocisco: fromt he directory it's running in, I imagine
[04:39] <linocisco> somsip, thanks
[04:44] <Bashing-om> linocisco: Not much I can help there with, but have you seen : http://www.rodsbooks.com/missing-parts/index.html ?
[04:45] <linocisco> Bashing-om, what?
[04:48] <Bashing-om> linocisco: Partition issues ... Rod Smith is the guru . He did write the book .
[05:23] <shurtagul> So giving 16.04 a try and noticed the lack of software in the new software center
[05:24] <somsip> !16.04 | shurtagul
[05:25] <shurtagul> oh thanks
[05:28] <motolly> Anyone have some advice on last-ditch efforts to restore a partition table?
[05:29] <somsip> !recover | motolly
[05:30] <shad0w_13> hello, is anyone there?
[05:31] <somsip> shad0w_13: just ask your question and someone will help if they can
[05:31] <shad0w_13> Ubuntu is freezing on my laptop at startup, and it only does this after the most recent update. Do you know how to fix this? (other than reverting to a more stable version)
[05:32] <shad0w_13> I am running 15.10 by the way
[05:34] <somsip> shad0w_13: what was updated in the last update?
[05:35] <minitrue> xunsmdlo: gracias :)
[05:39] <faekjarz> Hi! I benchmarked a Corsair Voyager GT 32GB USB3.0 Stick under Windows 7 and Ubuntu 15.10 64 on the same machine - Linux writes with half the speed of Windows. What can i do to fix this?
[05:40] <hateball> faekjarz: How did you benchmark this?
[05:41] <jatin30> hi
[05:41] <jatin30> I was trying to install whatsapp on ubuntu15.10
[05:41] <jatin30> config.example yowsup-cli.config
[05:41] <jatin30> when I ran the above command its could not detect that
[05:41] <jatin30> anyone?
[05:42] <somsip> jatin30: what guide are you following as that is not a supported package
[05:42] <motolly> somsip, I've imaged the disk with dd_rescue, then run testdisk followed by photorec, which recovered all the data I had (at least by filesize). Testdisk, with a deeper scan says nothing is repairable and detect partitions that are HFS of all things. But it also detects (correctly) the boundaries of the ext4 partition
[05:42] <jatin30> http://www.whatsappfor.org/whatsapp-for-ubuntu/whatsapp-ubuntu/
[05:42] <jatin30> somsip: Can you give me a link or something so I could install properly
[05:43] <faekjarz> hateball: AS SSD, Atto, CrystalDiskMark, Ubuntu ISO file copy on Win and Lin, Gnome Disk util benchmark, and iotop - all about the same results
[05:43] <somsip> jatin30: I don't have one. I suggest you contact the maintainer of that github page
[05:43] <motolly> Also tried gparted to "attempt recovery" but it hung for a loooon time
[05:44] <somsip> motolly: means nothing to me. I'm just aware that the link has generic information about data recovery
[05:45] <hateball> faekjarz: were you doing raw writes to the device, or were you using NTFS filesystem?
[05:46] <hateball> faekjarz: I'm asking since ntfs under linux tends to have overhead
[05:46] <somsip> !pm | jatin30
[05:46] <faekjarz> hateball: yes :) (both) also ext3 and fat - ~same results
[05:47] <jatin30> ubottu: What did I do wrong? I asked here only
[05:47] <somsip> jatin30: you pm'd me. please don't
[05:47] <jatin30> ubottu: ok
[05:47] <hateball> faekjarz: Weird. Did you try ext4? Altho ext3 should at least be on par with ntfs
[05:47] <jatin30> ubottu: Can you help me with my query?
[05:48] <faekjarz> hateball: oops, it was ext4 (the only one ext option in gnome disk util)
[05:50] <zzarr> fossbytes.com writes that M$ will buy Canonical and scrap Ubuntu, is this just a tasteless April fools joke?
[05:51] <somsip> !ubunwin | zzarr
[05:51] <somsip> !ubuwin | zzarr
[05:52] <zzarr> somsip, I have read about that
[05:52] <hateball> faekjarz: Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Was it fuse-mounted, or did you do a manual mount? Fuse adds some overhead as well
[05:52] <faekjarz> hateball: i just ran "ddrescue -vvDf /dev/zero /dev/sdc" (direct / sync IO) iotop reports ~50MBps, which is the max on Windows
[05:52] <hateball> faekjarz: there you go
[05:53] <zzarr> well if no one here knows about it it's a bad April fools joke

[05:53] <mallu> hello, when using ldapscripts I am getting ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)   -> Cannot resolve group Admingroup to gid : not found
[05:53] <mallu> I can add user via ldapadd
[05:53] <zzarr> I just read that it was....
[05:54] <mallu> any help would be greatly appreciated
[05:54] <faekjarz> hateball: well, that's nice but rather useless because i'd really like to use a filesystem ;D
[05:54] <hateball> faekjarz: Sure, I am just trying to help you find where the bottleneck is :)
[05:55] <hateball> faekjarz: If you create an ext4 filesystem and do a proper mount, not fuse-mount, what are the speeds like?
[05:56] <faekjarz> hateball: i know, you're nice too :3 what do you mean by "proper mount"? mount via terminal?
[05:57] <hateball> faekjarz: yea
[05:57] <mallu> anyone?
[06:00] <faekjarz> "mount /dev/sdc /mnt/fv32/" → ISO copy → iotop says ~21MBps (half speed)
[06:01] <mercer> hi guys, I'm having problem I lost all my software sources and I need to get them back can anybody help?
[06:02] <hateball> faekjarz: That's not very great indeed. Sadly I have no USB3 device to test with here
[06:02] <hateball> mercer: Are you talking about default sources?
[06:02] <mercer> yes
[06:04] <faekjarz> hateball: "mount" reports "/dev/sdc on /mnt/fv32 type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)" → i'll try mounting with sync option
[06:06] <Seveas> mercer: which Ubuntu version?
[06:08] <faekjarz> hateball: sync option lowers speed from half to quarter - fail

[06:18] <kaustav> Hi
[06:19] <Seveas> mercer: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15574299/
[06:28] <Loshki> I recently upgraded chromium-browser to 49.0.2623.87 on Ubuntu 14.04 (64-bit), and now there seem to be various odd display problems. It's just me, right?
[06:28] <hateball> Loshki: More details never hurt
[06:29] <davido> Loshki: You'd have to describe the issues.
[06:29] <davido> I've witnessed oddities with firefox but have resigned myself to the notion that there's not an easy solution.
[06:29] <mercer> thanks seveas
[06:30] <Loshki> E.g. Graphics with red boxes around them whose contents disappear after a short time, sometimes while I'm still looking at them
[06:31] <DiamondSword> hello I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my D drive. I have Windows on C drive. I made a partition for Ubuntu but Ubuntu installation cannot recognize my new partition. what might be the problem ?
[06:31] <Loshki> It's not very subtle. It must be me, and my idiosycratic combination of add-ons.
[06:32] <DiamondSword> when I look with diskpart tool on Windows, it says my d drive hdd is dynamic and gpt. something about it ?
[06:32] <davido> @Loshki, Yeah, sorry, I haven't experienced that.
[06:33] <faekjarz> hateball: btw, thanks for your effort
[06:34] <hateball> faekjarz: Well your problem still persists, so that's bad
[06:35] <davido> On this particular laptop sometimes I'll find a 0.5" black border around menus and other elements.  ctrl-alt-f1 to a vt, and then ctrl-alt-f7 always fixes it.  I blame the nvidia drivers, I guess.
[06:35] <hateball> DiamondSword: Is your "D" drive a different physical drive to your "C" drive, or a partition?
[06:36] <hateball> DiamondSword: at any rate, you dont create partitions for Ubuntu using windows tools, use the install wizard
[06:36] <hateball> !dualboot | DiamondSword
[06:36] <DiamondSword> hateball, different HDD on different port on my pc
[06:36] <DiamondSword> hateball, I have some files on HDD which I don't want to loose
[06:36] <DiamondSword> so I made a partition for Ubuntu
[06:37] <hateball> DiamondSword: and is that partition ext4?
[06:37] <DiamondSword> no
[06:38] <DiamondSword> just Unallocated space, that is what is shown on Window's disk management
[06:38] <hateball> DiamondSword: Well that's fine. And you say the Ubuntu installer does see the partition?
[06:38] <hateball> does not*
[06:39] <DiamondSword> hateball, yes it's true
[06:40] <link0802> anybody make rythmbox and lastfm work in ubuntu 15.10?

[07:10] <Nouv> hi?
[07:11] <AntiTrust> Sup April fools
[07:11] <Nouv> I have 2x gtx 780ti pushing three screens.  Will this work in ubuntu or am I better off staying on windows?
[07:11] <TeHenga> works ok on mine
[07:11] <AntiTrust> Everything will work on Ubuntu :P
[07:12] <Nouv> Alright, will try
[07:12] <Nouv> Because I just installed the latest elementary os and dear god did that not work well at all
[07:12] <davido> Nouv: I regularly drive 4 screens.
[07:13] <Nouv> davido That gives me confidence
[07:13] <davido> can't speak to your specific hardware, but Ubuntu shouldn't mind.
[07:13] <Nouv> davido Do you use nouveau or proprietary drivers?
[07:14] <TeHenga> you might even ditch windows
[07:14] <Nouv> TeHenga anything is possible ;)
[07:15] <farih> thanks you, hatebull.. #love
[07:16] <ziz15> hi, is there a way to count the total number of songs in a vlc playlist?thanks
[07:17] <davido> Nouv: I use nvidia proprietary drivers on one system, driving 2 to 3 monitors. My 4-monitor system has amd video hardware, and I just use the stock ubuntu drivers.
[07:17] <Nouv> davido alright, thanks
[07:17] <AntiTrust> Man, i use 2 monitors and a tv :D
[07:17] <AntiTrust> It works well
[07:18] <davido> anyway, i don't think there are any arbitrary limits. the limit is desk space and number of ports available. :)
[07:18] <Kartagis> why is ubuntu reporting the exact same figures for two different shares? http://paste.debian.net/423140/

[07:26] <ph8-> guys i'm looking for a decent how to about how to do encryption in the installer of ubuntu 15.10 and failing miserably, can anyone help me find one?
[07:27] <ph8-> I have a few questions like, "do i leave /boot unencrypted?" that i was looking for a how to to answer for me
[07:27] <somsip> !encrypt | ph8- (maybe something here)
[07:27] <ph8-> I want full disk encryption alas
[07:27] <EriC^^> ph8: it's up to you
[07:27] <ph8> I seem to remember from the past that /boot can't be encrypted or it all fails?
[07:27] <somsip> ph8: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FullDiskEncryptionHowto
[07:28] <njmbb8> http://i.imgur.com/xw4s7Eb.jpg
[07:28] <ph8> thanks somsip but none of that says how to do it from the installer
[07:28] <njmbb8> there's what happens when i boot from an old kernel
[07:28] <somsip> ph8: I thought it was guided from the installer, but never used it so I'm not much use :)
[07:28] <azizLIGHT> anyone here running firefox on ubuntu
[07:28] <ph8> although i guess somsip that the '/osloader' directory is actually /boot
[07:29] <ph8> It's guided if I want to use LVM+full disk, but i don't want to use LVM. I want a root partition on my SSD and a /home + /var + /boot on a spin disk
[07:29] <farih> hatebull, done.. but I get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/15574587/
[07:30] <saadi> how can i convert text to speech in persian language in ubuntu?

[07:32] <njmbb8> hello, everyone - i'm going to say my problem in one go this time:P.

[07:38] <Kartagis> why is ubuntu reporting the exact same figures for two different shares? http://paste.debian.net/423140/
[07:38] <somsip> AntiTrust: if you have a support question, ask it. If not, chat goes in #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:38] <somsip> Kartagis: best off asking the admin for the shar machine
[07:39] <davido> kartagis, you've verified that they actually have different contents? (probably have but just curious)
[07:39] <Kartagis> davido: yes I did, they are different
[07:40] <llutz> Kartagis: 2 shares, differenz "folders" on the same drive
[07:40] <davido> ^ that sounds about right.
[07:41] <somsip> llutz: so when a folder is mounted, it'll recursive upwards to find the size of the disk?
[07:41] <llutz> somsip: yes, it reports the size of the drive, not of the folder
[07:41] <Kartagis> llutz: by same drive, you mean same remote server?
[07:41] <somsip> llutz: k - makes sense
[07:41] <llutz> Kartagis:
[07:41] <somsip> llutz: ta
[07:41] <Kartagis> llutz: but //campus01 is not 29G
[07:42] <Kartagis> my quote is
[07:42] <llutz> Kartagis: http://paste.debian.net/423144/
[07:43] <Kartagis> weird, I remember getting different results when I was on 32bit
[07:44] <llutz> Kartagis: unlikely, or they changed the server-layout
[07:45] <triciad> I am using virtual box to run windows 7 professional, why isn't the virtual machine seeing my USB?
[07:46] <llutz> triciad: you need the vbox extensions

[07:54] <diftow> Does anyone know what causes Ubuntu not to restart or shutdown properly?
[07:54] <diftow> Everytime I try to shutdown, it just hangs
[07:54] <diftow> And thats not the only issue. Theres some performance issues while running too.
[07:55] <diftow> As well as slow bootup
[07:55] <diftow> I suspect its either GPU or HDD, but I don't really have a way to swap out either of them, so i need way to diagnose inside of the OS
[07:57] <njmbb8> hello, everyone - i'm going to say my problem in one go this time:P. I'm having this issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2011689 and when i try to boot from an old kernel(as per the solution) i get this screen: http://i.imgur.com/xw4s7Eb.jpg (i'm in virtualbox if that matters)
[07:59] <Zaitzev> Hi everyone. I just installed Ubuntu on a desktop with 3 monitors. I have also installed Steam. However, when I launch a game it opens on the wrong monitor, and I want to change that to another. How do I go about that?
[07:59] <moon2567> I have a problem with nvidia driver. I installed 340.96 from the additional drivers and it works great until I reboot or shutdown again. I then get black screen before the login.
[07:59] <njmbb8> i fear the only people speaking in here are the ones with problems and not solutions
[07:59] <diftow> yeah
[07:59] <diftow> welcome to linux
[07:59] <diftow> never works right
[08:00] <moon2567> I can't help diftow :(
[08:00] <Zaitzev> I installed Ubuntu last night, hoping to have dual boot alongside Windows 8.1.. it didn't exactly work..
[08:00] <jonathan_zz> heya
[08:00] <jonathan_zz> not sure I can help either.
[08:00] <EriC^^> Zaitzev: why not brotha?
[08:00] <jushur> well i have 4 of 234x machines im adjusting atm, so id disagree on that it dont work..
[08:00] <moon2567> use boot-repair
[08:00] <jonathan_zz> never had multimonitor.
[08:00] <jonathan_zz> yet
[08:00] <Zaitzev> EriC^^: I have no idea, I would assume Ubuntu overwrote the bootloader
[08:01] <moon2567> you can fix it with boot-repair
[08:01] <njmbb8> ok so what happens when you try to boot
[08:01] <njmbb8> you're not giving much info
[08:01] <Zaitzev> What happens is that 2 of 3 monitors turn on, it takes a moment then starts loading up Ubuntu
[08:02] <njmbb8> ubuntu or grub?
[08:02] <njmbb8> it could be the case that ubuntu just got set as the main os
[08:02] <jonathan_zz> (normally if the installer had found a Windows installation, you'd get a menu)
[08:03] <njmbb8> oh?
[08:03] <njmbb8> i thought that there was a timing setting that needed to be modified somewhere
[08:03] <Zaitzev> njmbb8: I have a 3 monitor setup, and the middle one (DVI) doesn't turn on straight after boot, so I can't really tell if there's any grub info or not on that.
[08:03] <EriC^^> Zaitzev: try sudo update-grub
[08:03] <jonathan_zz> I do not believe grub2 allows hiding the menu if you have multiboot.
[08:03] <Zaitzev> When Ubuntu starts loading, it shows the Ubuntu loading dots on the far right monitor.
[08:04] <linocisco> hi all
[08:04] <njmbb8> well, if he went from windows to ubuntu, he doesn't necessarily have grub
[08:04] <hicoleri> Why do some of my images have a thumbnail while some don't in my file manager (thunar)? Like this: http://postimg.org/image/773afxkkb/
[08:04] <jonathan_zz> what else?
[08:04] <diftow> i just uninstalled ubuntu
[08:04] <linocisco> how to screen share on skype of ubuntu?
[08:04] <somsip> hicoleri: Somewhere in preferences will be a 'minimum thumbnail size' or similar
[08:05] <arunabha> hello everyone! I am planning to dual-boot ubuntu-mate on my laptop this weekend :)
[08:05] <njmbb8> I'm having this issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2011689 and when i try to boot from an old kernel(as per the solution) i get this screen: http://i.imgur.com/xw4s7Eb.jpg (i'm in virtualbox if that matters)
[08:05] <Zaitzev> EriC^^ / njmbb8 : Does the disk configuration I currently have, have a say? I have two SSDs in stripe configuration (this showed when I was installing Ubuntu)
[08:05] <somsip> linocisco: menu for contact (grey down arrow). Share Your Screen
[08:05] <EriC^^> Zaitzev: it might be a legacy / uefi mismatch between os's
[08:05] <EriC^^> Zaitzev: try sudo update-grub first and see if it picks up windows
[08:06] <linocisco> somsip, thanks alot
[08:06] <Zaitzev> EriC^^: I tried, it spat out a couple of lines. Should it say "Windows" clearly?
[08:06] <njmbb8> can you pastebin the lines?
[08:06] <EriC^^> yeah, found windows on /devsdxY or so
[08:06] <Zaitzev> ah
[08:06] <Zaitzev> well, no such line
[08:06] <jonathan_zz> njmbb8: that looks like you have an initrd for that kernel without cryptsetup in it. It tries to open a swap file / volume that apparently is going to be defined in your /etc/cryttab, but I can tell you straight ahead that you don't need it.
[08:06] <hicoleri> somsip, There was a "show thumbnail" option. I set it to always but nothing happened.
[08:07] <Zaitzev> "Found linux image" and "Found initrd image" twice over
[08:07] <jonathan_zz> njmbb8: if you have that cryptswap1 you probably also have an encrypted LUKS, not sure?
[08:07] <EriC^^> Zaitzev: ok, share a pastebin of your partitions, type sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999
[08:07] <somsip> hicoleri: duont know thunar specifically, but usually there is a 'dont make thumbnail for images smaller than X kb' setting.
[08:07] <njmbb8> i do have luks
[08:07] <ziz15> guys does anyone know if there is a way to show in vlc how many items a playlist has?i have already search in google but found nothing..thanks
[08:07] <jonathan_zz> right exactly
[08:07] <jonathan_zz> and you probably have a swap inside your LVM
[08:07] <hicoleri> somsip, I'll dig deeper
[08:07] <jonathan_zz> but still some installer put cryptswap1 inside your crypttab or fstab
[08:08] <Zaitzev> EriC^^: "Error: invalid argument during seek for read on /dev/sda" - I assume that's the Windows partition
[08:08] <jonathan_zz> you can just remove that.
[08:08] <njmbb8> ah ok thanks
[08:08] <njmbb8> trying that now
[08:08] <EriC^^> jonathan_zz: it's usually for encrypted home partition ( the cryptswap1 )
[08:08] <EriC^^> njmbb8: did you pick encrypt home in your installer too?
[08:08] <njmbb8> i don't remember
[08:09] <njmbb8> it was a while ago when i set it up
[08:09] <jonathan_zz> I doubt that, I think it is just an encrypted swap space.
[08:09] <EriC^^> if you type df, does it say .Private somewhere
[08:09] <njmbb8> if i type df where?
[08:09] <EriC^^> jonathan_zz: yeah, it gets used with that option
[08:09] <njmbb8> obviously in terminal
[08:09] <EriC^^> yeah
[08:10] <njmbb8> but how do you want me to get to a point where i can df?
[08:10] <jonathan_zz> for eCryptFS???
[08:10] <EriC^^> Zaitzev: that's the whole drive
[08:10] <EriC^^> Zaitzev: try sudo blkid -p /dev/sda
[08:10] <jonathan_zz> cryptswap1 is a swap file.
[08:10] <EriC^^> njmbb8: oh you can't boot right now?
[08:10] <jonathan_zz> you don't even need it to run your computer.
[08:10] <njmbb8> nope
[08:11] <lzwriter> boot-repair ... is there a channel dedicated to that, or is #ubuntu the palce for boot-repair problems ?
[08:11] <EriC^^> lzwriter: here
[08:11] <lzwriter> okay
[08:11] <lzwriter> I can't run boot-repair
[08:11] <jonathan_zz> it is just an encrypted swap, which you would also get if you have swap inside of luks.
[08:11] <lzwriter> it's looking for gksuod/gksu
[08:11] <Zaitzev> EriC^^: /dev/sda: VERSION="1.0.00" TYPE="isw_raid_member" USAGE="raid"
[08:11] <lzwriter> but my "try ubuntu" from the desktop-amd64-.iso doesn't ahve it
[08:11] <EriC^^> lzwriter: what's the problem you're trying to fix?
[08:11] <jonathan_zz> njmbb8: why don't you boot with the old kernel again?
[08:11] <lzwriter> Eric^^: let me write a long doc
[08:12] <njmbb8> jonathan_zz, this happens: http://i.imgur.com/xw4s7Eb.jpg
[08:13] <jonathan_zz> njmbb8: so mount your root filesystem and remove cryptswap1 from fstab and/or crypttab
[08:13] <loli1> I have a problem wig logrotate and anacrontab. Maybe you can help me
[08:13] <loli1> I have a set of logs that I want to rotate every day at 23:59. So, I created the rules in /etc/logroata.d/myLogs, and added in CRON, that a 23:59, execute lorotate of that path. THE PROBLEM: is that ANACRONTAB executes all /etc/logrotate.d/ at 00:00. So what happens is: at 23:59 "myLogs" are rotated by CRON, and then at 00:00 are rotated again!!!! How do I solve this?? I onyl want to rotate those logs, and only those, at 23:59
[08:14] <jonathan_zz> njmbb8: and see if that helps.
[08:14] <njmbb8> jonathan_zz, from a livecd or?
[08:14] <jonathan_zz> njmbb8: run a live session of ubuntu, then log in as the ubuntu/kubuntu/whatever user, or open a shell from the desktop environment and type sudo su.
[08:15] <njmbb8> ok one sec
[08:15] <jonathan_zz> njmbb8: then type blkid to find your encrypted partition. Then type "cryptsetup open /dev/sdaX sdaX_crypt"
[08:16] <jonathan_zz> njmbb8: I'm not sure if you'll be needing to regenerate your initrd for the chosen kernel.
[08:18] <jonathan_zz> njmbb8: (that would require chrooting into the installation :( ).
[08:22] <njmbb8> cannot use device /dev/sda5 which is in use (already mapped or mounted)
[08:22] <njmbb8> oh i misunderstood you
[08:22] <njmbb8> one sec
[08:23] <DiamondSword> ok I've installed Ubuntu on D drive, installed GRUB at the same drive. but reboot not recognize my Ubuntu install, no GRUB nothing, it just boots into C drive where I have Windows on it..
[08:24] <DiamondSword> on BIOS I can see both HDDs on SATA Config but there is only SSD on boot options, no HDD where Ubuntu installed.
[08:24] <DiamondSword> what might be the reason? please help.
[08:24] <njmbb8> how do i unmount it? umount says sda5 isn't mounted
[08:25] <somsip> loli1: so why do you want them rotating at 23:59?
[08:26] <EriC^^> DiamondSword: paste the output of sudo parted -l
[08:26] <njmbb8> DiamondSword, in the bios, there should be an option as which hard drive is the hard drive
[08:26] <DiamondSword> EriC^^, I'm on windows now, cannot boot into Ubuntu yet
[08:26] <EriC^^> DiamondSword: is it a hp laptop?
[08:26] <DiamondSword> no, Asus
[08:27] <EriC^^> DiamondSword: ok, can you boot a live usb?
[08:28] <jonathan_zz> njmbb8: how can anything be mounted from your harddrive if you are in a live session?
[08:28] <jonathan_zz> njmbb8: check what is in /dev/mapper/
[08:28] <llutz> DiamondSword: if you installed grub into second drive, not MBR, how do you expect it to boot then?
[08:28] <llutz> DiamondSword: you need to swap boot-drives in bios to load it
[08:28] <DiamondSword> llutz, they said me to do so
[08:28] <DiamondSword> :(
[08:29] <njmbb8> well, i thought you had said to mount it so i did by double clicking it's icon in the dock
[08:29] <llutz> DiamondSword: iirc you didn't want grub as a bootmanager in MBR
[08:29] <DiamondSword> EriC^^, I think I can
[08:29] <EriC^^> DiamondSword: ok, boot a live usb and get back on here
[08:30] <DiamondSword> llutz, yes. I want linux grub not crash my windows
[08:30] <njmbb8> jonathan_zz, it's in /dev/mapper
[08:30] <DiamondSword> ok
[08:30] <jonathan_zz> jushur: what is
[08:30] <llutz> DiamondSword: you can add linux into your windows-bootloader, somehow. maybe go that way
[08:30] <jonathan_zz> njmbb8: what is
[08:30] <njmbb8> jonathan_zz, luks-c5b81d04-etc-etc-etc...
[08:31] <njmbb8> as well as ubuntu--vg-root and ubuntu--vg-swap
[08:31] <njmbb8> swap_1
[08:31] <jonathan_zz> njmbb8: that means the whole thing is unlocked.
[08:31] <njmbb8> yes
[08:32] <Guest17939> can i have a server to connect ny  loic
[08:32] <njmbb8> i mistakenly had thought you said to do that
[08:32] <Guest17939> y?
[08:32] <jonathan_zz> njmbb8: then what were you trying to do to /dev/sda5? ..... but anyway, your root fs is /dev/mapper/unbuntu--vg-root now
[08:33] <jonathan_zz> njmbb8: you can just mount it on /mnt if you want.
[08:33] <njmbb8> will i be able to boot then?
[08:33] <k1l_> Guest17939: this is technical ubuntu support only
[08:33] <jonathan_zz> njmbb8: no you need to see if you can remove the cryptswap1 references from your harddrive, if you can.
[08:33] <njmbb8> ah ok
[08:33] <jonathan_zz> njmbb8: at least, unless you want to solve it the difficult way :P.
[08:34] <njmbb8> no, thank you
[08:34] <njmbb8> easy way is fine with me:)
[08:34] <jonathan_zz> njmbb8: edit /etc/fstab (or, /mnt/etc/fstab) and (/mnt/etc/crypttab)
[08:34] <jonathan_zz> njmbb8: after mounting /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root on /mnt
[08:35] <EriC^^> jonathan_zz: njmbb8 what about the systemd .service ?
[08:35] <jonathan_zz> the only thing about systemd is that the creator received death threats :p.
[08:35] <jonathan_zz> *I know about*.
[08:36] <EriC^^> hehe
[08:37] <EriC^^> maybe it'll just continue if it doesn't find anything to wait for
[08:38] <rannger> hello!every one!
[08:38] <EriC^^> hello
[08:39] <njmbb8> ok should i be booting from one of the old kernels now?
[08:40] <bawo> hi all
[08:40] <bawo> who can give me a five?
[08:40] <EriC^^> five?
[08:40] <EriC^^> like hi-five?
[08:40]  * njmbb8 slips bawo some skin
[08:40] <bawo> i just say hi
[08:40] <jonathan_zz> njmbb8: You might. I am not sure if it will work, I haven't looked into your problem.
[08:40] <bawo> to you
[08:41] <EriC^^> o/
[08:41] <njmbb8> you haven't looked into my problem??
[08:41] <njmbb8> then what are we doing?
[08:41] <jonathan_zz> njmbb8: I suppose your boot thing was already capable of opening the LUKS?
[08:41] <bawo> this is my firs time to use HexChat
[08:41] <jonathan_zz> njmbb8: did the error come before or after opening the LUKS?
[08:41] <ryclik> I'm having a bit of trouble with Cinnamon & Nemo 2.8.6. Whenever an external program such as transmission opens nemo (with "Open in Folder"), nemo replaces the desktop bg with default and opens a new set of desktop icons
[08:41] <ryclik> https://i.imgur.com/VxanrOu.png
[08:41] <njmbb8> after, witth the old kernels
[08:41] <ryclik> bawo, ello
[08:41] <jonathan_zz> njmbb8: then this might do the trick.
[08:41] <EriC^^> njmbb8: try and see
[08:42] <bawo> hi @ryclik
[08:42] <EriC^^> did you remove stuff from fstab and crypttab?
[08:42] <njmbb8> it might be doing better than before
[08:42] <njmbb8> at least no error so far
[08:42] <jonathan_zz> njmbb8: I meant I haven't digested that forum thread of yours.
[08:42] <njmbb8> it's on [OK] Started Update UTMP about System Runlevel Changes
[08:43] <jonathan_zz> njmbb8: I'm just trying to solve your screenshot problem :p.

[08:56] <diamond_sword> EriC^^: my second hdd (where ubuntu is installed) is on hdd caddy. I removed cd drive and plugged in hdd caddy so that I can use my cd drive as second hdd. now it is shown on sata config but not on boot screen on BIOS. maybe my hdd caddy is not bootable. what do you think?
[08:57] <diamond_sword> I`ve booted ubuntu usb now and I`m on it
[08:57] <diamond_sword> I have console
[08:57] <EriC^^> diamond_sword: maybe, ok type sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999
[08:58] <diamond_sword> also I can see my ubuntu install on gparted
[08:58] <bawo> your another system is windows?
[08:58] <diamond_sword> EriC^^: http://termbin.com/1fpi
[08:59] <EriC^^> diamond_sword: ubuntu is on the 1.5tb hdd
[08:59] <diamond_sword> EriC^^: yes
[09:00] <EriC^^> diamond_sword: it can't boot, it needs a bios_boot partition to work with gpt partition tabel
[09:00] <diamond_sword> EriC^^: I made a 500 gb partition  for Ubuntu. I have my other files on it and I want to keep them.
[09:00] <diamond_sword> hmh EriC^^ what can I do now then?
[09:01] <EriC^^> diamond_sword: ok, type sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
[09:01] <diamond_sword> EriC^^: I did it
[09:02] <EriC^^> diamond_sword: type grep efi /mnt/etc/fstab
[09:02] <EriC^^> does it give you a line back with /boot/efi in it?
[09:02] <diamond_sword> EriC^^: no
[09:02] <diamond_sword> I just did it and nothing returned on console
[09:02] <EriC^^> diamond_sword: ok, it's installed in legacy mode then
[09:03] <EriC^^> diamond_sword: type sudo cgdisk /dev/sda
[09:03] <EriC^^> diamond_sword: create a 1MB partition at the start of the disk
[09:03] <diamond_sword> EriC^^: ok I`ll try
[09:04] <EriC^^> when it asks for starting sector press enter, then for size type 1M
[09:04] <EriC^^> when it asks for hexcode type ef02
[09:05] <diamond_sword> EriC^^: will I create that partition on free space or swap or ext4_
[09:05] <diamond_sword> ?
[09:05] <EriC^^> diamond_sword: in the free space at the start
[09:05] <diamond_sword> ok
[09:05] <EriC^^> there should be like 130mb
[09:05] <diamond_sword> yes that is true
[09:06] <diamond_sword> EriC^^: should I give a name?
[09:06] <EriC^^> diamond_sword: no need
[09:07] <diamond_sword> ok I did what you said EriC^^
[09:07] <EriC^^> ok, press on write
[09:08] <Zaitzev> How can I have Steam launch games on a different monitor? I tried looking in nvidia x server settings but I have no idea what to actually change
[09:08] <diamond_sword> EriC^^: The kernel may be using the old partition table. Reboot to use the new partition table!
[09:08] <EriC^^> diamond_sword: ok, type sudo partprobe
[09:09] <diamond_sword> EriC^^: I did
[09:09] <hateball> Zaitzev: That's up to your window manager really
[09:09] <Zaitzev> meaning..?
[09:09] <diamond_sword> EriC^^: should I reboot now?
[09:09] <EriC^^> diamond_sword: no, type the following
[09:10] <EriC^^> for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
[09:10] <diamond_sword> EriC^^: I did
[09:10] <Zaitzev> hateball: I have a 3 monitor setup, where the left one is in portrait mode (it is also the one the game launches on). The middle monitor is set to primary display for X screen.
[09:11] <EriC^^> diamond_sword: type sudo chroot /mnt
[09:11] <diamond_sword> EriC^^: I`m on root now
[09:11] <EriC^^> diamond_sword: ok, type grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
[09:12] <diamond_sword> EriC^^: Installing for i386-pc platform. Installation finished. No error reported.
[09:12] <Nouv> So .. I have three displays, all 'working' as in I can move the mouse over them, but the mouse shows up as a crosshair and it looks like my DE (pantheon) hasn't extended to those displays, as I can't drag windows into them or anything.  Halp?
[09:12] <EriC^^> diamond_sword: ok, type update-grub
[09:13] <diamond_sword> EriC^^: It`s done
[09:13] <EriC^^> diamond_sword: ok, type exit then reboot
[09:13] <diamond_sword> ok ..
[09:14] <hateball> Zaitzev: Well I dont know about Unity, how you can control it. Perhaps with devilspie. I run kde plasma, and with kwin I can set rules that application X starts on screen Y with resolution Z and so on
[09:16] <hateball> Zaitzev: or if your monitors are defined as their own display, perhaps you could DISPLAY=:0.1 /app/to/run
[09:24] <LJHSLDJHSDLJH> I'm closing skype on my system but it just disappers and keeps running in the background! any idea what's going on or how fix that?
[09:24] <Zaitzev> hateball: I tried adding DISPLAY=:0.1 to the launch options in the steam game, and that worked. It didn't set the resolution properly though
[09:24] <LJHSLDJHSDLJH> I'm closing skype on my system but it just disappers and keeps running in the background! any idea what's going on or how fix that?
[09:24] <bkpark> do you have a task bar of sort in your WM?
[09:25] <Zaitzev> hateball: It seems very..zoomed in, sort of.
[09:25] <hateball> Zaitzev: What is the problem you're trying to solve?
[09:25] <hateball> Zaitzev: I mean... is it a matter of the game not launching on your primary monitor?
[09:25] <Zaitzev> That's the issue yes
[09:26] <hateball> Zaitzev: Some Unity games have that issue, usually solvable by editing the games config
[09:26] <Zaitzev> The game in question is Tabletop Simulator
[09:26] <Zaitzev> and yeah it's a Unity game
[09:26] <Indrek> Hello
[09:27] <Indrek> whenever i mount drive 2tb then i get error blk_update_request: critical target error, dev sdb, sector 474007808
[09:27] <Indrek> is this normal ?
[09:27] <Indrek> what could cause this error ?
[09:28] <hateball> Zaitzev: Googling suggests the game accepts -screen-width and -screen-height flags. Anyhow, have you check the official or Steam forums for the game?
[09:35] <starkillerxu> hello :)
[09:39] <starkillerxu> i got a question :(
[09:39] <Myrtti> asking it is a good start
[09:39] <k1l_> starkillerxu: just ask
[09:40] <starkillerxu> im about to get a video card for my ubuntu, is there anything i should know before buying :P?
[09:40] <starkillerxu> im scared it may not be compatible or something, or no drivers  for that card :P
[09:41] <auronandace> starkillerxu: depends what you intend to use it for
[09:42] <minimec> starkillerxu: AMD is going through a *huge* driver change. I would get a nvidia GPU. A GTX 960 or so...
[09:42] <starkillerxu> im gonna use it for steam, and may be plug the hdmi to my tv :P
[09:42] <LJHSLDJHSDLJH> bkpark: Yes, the unity launcher
[09:44] <starkillerxu> nvidia eh :P minimec  :) sounds great :)
[09:45] <auronandace> starkillerxu: you can search the ubuntu forums to see if anyone has any issues for the card you intend to buy
[09:47] <starkillerxu> that narrows it down, im looking for nvdia deals and then searching the forums if it has issues XD, thanks guys :)
[09:49] <auronandace> starkillerxu: just remember that the older the posts in the forums the less relevant they are, drivers get updated
[09:52] <starkillerxu> thanks auronandace :)
[09:54] <NeoFrontier> Greetings. I get this : ALSA input error (snd_pcm_open): Device or resource busy

[10:32] <MonkeyDust> Kartagis  maybe because the user on gvfs is different from 'you'
[10:32] <k1l_> Kartagis: why sudo?
[10:33] <Kartagis> Operation not supported this is without sudo
[10:35] <Kartagis> k1l_: ^
[10:43] <katz> in ubuntu i get install without verification ? no
[10:43] <crond> ...what?
[10:44] <katz> what should i do when i can't apt-get upgrade as it says install without Verification problem?
[10:44] <EriC^^> katz: try sudo apt-get update
[10:44] <crond> katz, did you install a PPA and not import a GPG key for it or something?
[10:44] <EriC^^> then try again

[10:48] <acosonic> :)
[10:48] <madwizard> MonkeyDust: Yeah, about the partneship yes
[10:49] <madwizard> Not the link
[10:49] <madwizard> :)
[10:50] <MonkeyDust> oh ok, it's not the same
[10:51] <madwizard> :)
[11:01] <katz> crond, i installed a new uubntu, but maybe it needs fresg gpg too?
[11:03] <k1l_> katz: what ubuntu exactly?
[11:03] <k1l_> katz: please put the command and output form terminal into paste.ubuntu.com
[11:15] <starkillerxu> hello guys :}
[11:17] <starkillerxu> im about to buy a video card, its an old ati radeon hd 2900 and its on the supported list of ubuntu, i was wondering if it works in ubuntu would it work in xubuntu?
[11:18] <cfhowlett> ati has had a very poor record of support with linux in general.  lubuntu would be my suggestion, but I wouldn't hold much hope for a card that is > 5 years old
[11:19] <cfhowlett> to be fair, ATI seems to have recently seen the light and upgraded their linux support
[11:20] <starkillerxu> so ubuntu works better with newer video cards :P?
[11:20] <cfhowlett> so long as the card isn't *too* new, yes
[11:21] <cfhowlett> unless, or course, the card provider releases its own driver.
[11:22] <starkillerxu> aww this card was 29 dollars :P  thanks cfhowlett, ill look for deals :P
[11:23] <cfhowlett> happy2help! starkillerxu
[11:23] <hateball> starkillerxu: nvidia has a lot better support (now), if you're shopping for new stuff
[11:23] <cfhowlett> +1 ^^^^
[11:25] <CrowX-> I have a skylake intel graphic card, and it seems to be lagging...
[11:25] <CrowX-> At first dmesg showed some errors, but after I installed the 4.4 kernel, they're gone
[11:26] <CrowX-> but still, the performances of the card seem not to be as they should be
[11:26] <bekks> How do you determine what the performance should be?
[11:26] <cfhowlett> CrowX-, get the intel driver
[11:26] <CrowX-> bekks, I have an i2 with 420 card, and it never lags. I can play even 3d games on it without a problem
[11:26] <MonkeyDust> my intel graphics card lags too, on this old frankenstein laptop, i've learned to live with it
[11:27] <CrowX-> on this one however, chrome scrolling lags when smooth scrolling is enabled
[11:27] <OldQ> hi, i tried to do local port forwarding by ssh (want to tunnel my http thru ssh) - should i set something in sshd_config to allow forwarding?
[11:28] <CrowX-> or even minimizing/maximizing windows shows a bit of a lag sometimes
[11:28] <bekks> OldQ: you should allow forwarding in the sshd_config, yes.
[11:29] <bekks> OldQ: in case it isnt enabled already.
[11:29] <OldQ> bekks: how?
[11:29] <bekks> OldQ: By setting the appropriate option, which is documented in sshd_config
[11:29] <OldQ> bekks: have default sshd_config
[11:31] <OldQ> bekks: only have "X11Forwarding yes" in sshd_conf
[11:31] <bekks> OldQ: TCPForwarding is documented there, too.
[11:32] <OldQ> bekks: found AllowTcpForwarding in man - should i add it to sshd_conf ?
[11:33] <bekks> OldQ: In case you want forwarding, sure.
[11:37] <OldQ> bekks: i want to tunnel my http (kind of VPN) thru my VPS. Did: ssh -L localport:serverIP:sshport login@serverIP
[11:37] <bekks> OldQ: For using -L, you need to have forwarding enabled.
[11:37] <OldQ> bekks: on my local computer or remote server?
[11:38] <OldQ> then i set up my firefox to user proxy on 127.0.0.1 localport
[11:38] <bekks> OldQ: On the computer where the ssh daemon is running.
[11:39] <bratner> Hi! Need a hint how to debug a problem with lenovo x201 running 14.04. Sometimes when i close the lid the laptop goes into sleep but the fan doesn't shut down and 30sec later the whole laptop shuts down. I didn't see any errors in the logs.
[11:40] <bratner> I tried to figure out what needs to happen and currently i have no apparent pattern except a guess that it has something to do with how hot the machine is.

[11:44] <cfhowlett> asdfganonymous4, no questions asked >>> no answers given.
[11:45] <Workaday> will 16.04 be the last x86 version?
[11:45] <cfhowlett> yes, Workaday
[11:45] <nils_> if you mean i386...
[11:46] <asdfganonymous4> yeaa sup guys ?
[11:46] <cfhowlett> asdfganonymous4, this is ubuntu support.  ask ubuntu questions.
[11:53] <OldQ> bekks: i've set up AllowTcpForwarding yes in sshd_conf - but in firefox i get: "SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_6.9p1 Ubuntu-2ubuntu0.1
[11:53] <OldQ> Protocol mismatch."
[11:54] <meldron> hey guys, just installed ubuntu server to a Dell T430, but after i boot into ubuntu the display stays black, I can ssh into the machine, can anybody give me a hint what it takes to get a video signal (VGA;no xserver)
[11:54] <bekks> OldQ: Which is unrelated to forwarding.
[11:54] <hateball> !nomodeset | meldron
[11:54] <OldQ> bekks: hmm. Any ideas what am i doing wrong to run ssh tunnel? :/
[11:57] <tainthappenin> Hi all

[12:00] <cfhowlett> happy2help! linocisco
[12:01] <tainthappenin> is anyone here that can help me get my ubuntu setup?
[12:01] <MonkeyDust> tainthappenin  let's hear it, in one line

[12:02] <meldron> ubottu: hm did not fix the issue
[12:02] <meldron> ig
[12:02] <meldron> oh
[12:02] <meldron> hateball: then ;)
[12:02] <tainthappenin> Okay - I've downloaded the ubuntu iso, verified integrity, formatted a USB, tried to boot from that USB, and can't. Anyone have ideas?
[12:03] <cfhowlett> tainthappenin, can't ... can't WHAT?
[12:03] <MonkeyDust> tainthappenin  what happens when you try
[12:04] <likwrk> tainthappenin, how did you wirte image to USB?
[12:04] <tainthappenin> here let me try to do it again so i can write down the error message
[12:04] <MonkeyDust> tainthappenin  use !pastebin
[12:04] <tainthappenin> It was super late last night and i just fell asleep
[12:04] <tainthappenin> !pastebin
[12:05] <tainthappenin> I used Universal USB writer
[12:05] <tainthappenin> It was referred to me last night in here
[12:06] <MonkeyDust> tainthappenin  ok, but tell/show us what happens
[12:06] <tainthappenin> sorry if im a pain in the ass - im not very good at this yet but im trying to learn. I'm gonna restart and try to boot from usb
[12:07] <tainthappenin> ill be back in a bit
[12:18] <katerina> Hey! I have a nbd related question. I have a disk that I export via nbd-server to another machine who runs nbd-client. Is it possible that the client who has the /dev/nbd0 mounted, concurently sees the changes made to the filesystem on the disk by the server. Like what would happen with a shared NFS directory. I have asked again and was told that would lead to corrupt the filesystem, but I...
[12:18] <katerina> ...don't understand why. I have tried that anyway, but changes made in one host aren't visible to the other for some reason. Any idea what I do wrong? I have pasted a few things that show the connection is ok, and the mountpoints exists. http://paste.ubuntu.com/15576289/
[12:19] <MonkeyDust> what's nbd
[12:21] <katerina> MonkeyDust: nbd stands for network block device
[12:21] <diamond_sword> EriC^^: are you still around?
[12:24] <antonispgs> katerina say hi to metsovio from me ;)
[12:25] <EriC^^> diamond_sword: yes
[12:25] <diamond_sword> EriC^^: can I pvt please?
[12:25] <EriC^^> talk here it's better
[12:26] <tainthappenin> Okay all I'm back: When i press f12 to boot from the USB it says : SYSLINUX 4.07 EDD 2013-07-25 Copyright (c) 1994-2013 Peter Anvin et al  No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found! boot:
[12:27] <diamond_sword> EriC^^: what we did last didn`t work. because I have ubuntu install usb, when I reboot it boots on ubuntu install usb again and no option for grub, I have no grub interface.
[12:28] <EriC^^> diamond_sword: remove the usb
[12:28] <diamond_sword> EriC^^: I guess we worked on `Try Ubuntu` not exactly the ubuntu on the this I installed. here is the screenshot?  http://i.imgur.com/7wTQ8zV.png
[12:28] <EriC^^> diamond_sword: we chrooted to the install on the hdd
[12:29] <diamond_sword> 530 GB Volume is the ubuntu installed but I guess we are working on somewhere else
[12:29] <EriC^^> effectively working on it
[12:29] <diamond_sword> hmhh
[12:29] <diamond_sword> ok then but still I have no option to boot either ubuntu or windows
[12:29] <diamond_sword> when I reboot it loads Windows
[12:29] <EriC^^> is the hdd first in the boot order?
[12:29] <OTH3R_MONKEY> HI
[12:29] <diamond_sword> actually still I have only my ssd option in Bios not the 2nd Hdd
[12:30] <EriC^^> diamond_sword: that can't be solved from grub, it's a bios -> hdd issue
[12:30] <EriC^^> diamond_sword: try some hdd settings, like ahci or something maybe
[12:30] <OTH3R_MONKEY>  
[12:30] <tainthappenin> Anyone still available to help?
[12:30] <PaulVern> my local network connection on my PC is randomly dropping out for a few minutes
[12:31] <EriC^^> !ask | tainthappenin
[12:31] <tainthappenin> Eric i did ask my question.
[12:31] <PaulVern> it's causing my sshfs mount to drop out and really giving me the shits
[12:31] <diamond_sword> EriC^^: on bios both ssd and 2nd hdd are shown on sata configuration but on boot order page there is only ssd option
[12:31] <tainthappenin> Just hadn't seen any red text in a while - wasn't sure if any help was still available.
[12:31] <PaulVern> I see nothing in dmesg or the log files to indicate the cause
[12:31] <PaulVern> where else would I look to see some kind of feedback / try to find the issue?
[12:31] <MonkeyDust> tainthappenin  repeat your question every 10-15 minutes, until someone can help
[12:31] <PaulVern> no other computers on the network are having issues
[12:32] <wutf> is it save to apt-get remove \.*gnome\.* in my headless setup to try to save more space?
[12:32] <EriC^^> diamond_sword: you could install grub on the other hdd to boot windows and ubuntu, but the windows wouldn't be standalone anymore, you'd always need the 2 hdd's in the pc to boot either one
[12:33] <diamond_sword> EriC^^: I see
[12:33] <EriC^^> diamond_sword: another option would be to install ubuntu and windows in uefi mode and see if that somehow helps, unlikely though, or you could mess around with hdd stuff maybe it's some hardware or cable issue, you know more than i do in this regards
[12:34] <MonkeyDust> wutf  backup first, then rename it, don't remove... see what happens
[12:34] <wutf> rename it?
[12:34] <wutf> that doesn't make sense
[12:34] <wutf> seems to be fine for a headless setup afaict
[12:35] <MonkeyDust> wutf  rename it, see you can rename it too original, if something goes wrong
[12:35] <wutf> rename what?
[12:35] <MonkeyDust> wutf  whatever ypu want to remove
[12:35] <wutf> dude
[12:35] <wutf> do not give advice in this channel please
[12:35] <ThePendulum> I have php installed and I wish to remove it, yet apt-get can't find any php packages... Is there a way to trace what the original package name is?
[12:35] <EriC^^> wutf: he misread obviously
[12:37] <EriC^^> ThePendulum: dpkg -l | grep php
[12:38] <starkillerxu> wow i was about to get a video card for my computer, compatible with ubuntu,  i wonder if i should get a new power supply too?
[12:38] <wutf> (seriously) misread what?
[12:38] <ThePendulum> EriC^^: shows me a bunch of php7.0- packages, yet when I try to remove any of them, they're not installed
[12:38] <Nene1> hello all
[12:38] <ThePendulum> but when I run them, they are
[12:38] <ThePendulum> lol
[12:38] <EriC^^> wutf: your how do i apt-get remove \.*gnome\.*
[12:38] <Kartagis> how come fsck.ext4 has been scanning my usb hdd which has been wiped for the past 2 hours, and finding a lot of errors?
[12:39] <ThePendulum> let me try turning it off and on again
[12:39] <EriC^^> or does it matter if i..*
[12:39] <Kartagis> ThePendulum: try dpkg-query -l php*
[12:39] <diamond_sword> EriC^^: what about this.. I remove ssd first and install windows on 2nd drive (hdd caddy) and plug in ssd and install both ubuntu and grub on it.. do you think this will work better?
[12:39] <EriC^^> ThePendulum: is there a "ii" at the start of the line?
[12:39] <diamond_sword> so that I can have both ubuntu and windows on grub..
[12:40] <ThePendulum> EriC^^: only un and rc
[12:40] <tainthappenin> Okay all I'm back: When i press f12 to boot from the USB it says : SYSLINUX 4.07 EDD 2013-07-25 Copyright (c) 1994-2013 Peter Anvin et al  No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found! boot:
[12:40] <EriC^^> diamond_sword: oh so basically switch the hdd's? yeah it would work i think
[12:40] <EriC^^> sounds good
[12:41] <EriC^^> ThePendulum: those are unconfigured and stuff, "ii" means installed
[12:41] <starkillerxu> dimond _sword. instal windos first, then make an extended partition for ubuntu , but it has to be an exteded partition, or grub will mess with you
[12:41] <ThePendulum> EriC^^: ah, is there a way to remove them entirely?
[12:41] <EriC^^> ThePendulum: yeah using sudo apt-get purge
[12:41] <ThePendulum> I mean they do seem to quasi-run but with all kinds of errors, I wish to start clean
[12:41] <ThePendulum> ah, let me try
[12:41] <Nene1> i am trying to update my ubuntu 14.04 (64 bit) from my own local repo...
[12:42] <ThePendulum> hopefully I don't remove half my machine again, bad history with purge :')
[12:42] <EriC^^> :D
[12:42] <Nene1> but i am getting W: Failed to fetch http://ip/ubuntu/dists/trusty-security/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found
[12:43] <ThePendulum> EriC^^: so now dpkg-query doesn't show them anymore either, yet I can still run them
[12:43] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:43] <Nene1> any idea why my 64 bit machine is trying to access 32 bit pkgs????
[12:43] <ThePendulum> I wonder if it's mad I'm a JavaScript dev these days
[12:43] <alx5000> hi
[12:43] <EriC^^> ThePendulum: they might be from a local install, try which <program name>
[12:43] <ThePendulum> EriC^^: ahh, /usr/local/sbin/php-fpm
[12:44] <ThePendulum> what's the proper way to remove those?
[12:44] <EriC^^> depends how you installed them
[12:44] <EriC^^> quite literally
[12:44] <ThePendulum> I make installed something from sauce but I thought that failed entirely
[12:44] <ThePendulum> I guess something stuck
[12:45] <alx5000> whenever there's a problem mounting a fs on boot, systemd goes to emergency mode, and shows me a root shell. is there any way to make it ask for a password first?
[12:45] <Nene1> ThePendulum: EriC^^ : any idea why my 64 bit machine is trying to access 32 bit pkgs????
[12:45] <ThePendulum> wouldn't it do that if there aren't any specific 64 bit pkgs?
[12:45] <erle-> is the ZFS in 16.04 a port of  Solaris code or a different implementation?
[12:46] <BluesKaj> Nene1, perhaps the packages are only available as 23 bit
[12:46] <BluesKaj> 32 even :-)
[12:47] <Nene1> BluesKaj: on my machine i didnt find any 32 pkgs installed....
[12:47] <EriC^^> alx5000: same thing, you could always get a root shell by editing grub
[12:47] <alx5000> EriC^^: unless grub is password protected
[12:47] <EriC^^> exactly
[12:47] <Nene1> BluesKaj: i ran dpkg -l and verified that
[12:47] <alx5000> EriC^^: still, i'd like systemd not to show a root shell...
[12:48] <EriC^^> alx5000: maybe it's doable
[12:49] <Nene1> BluesKaj: is there any way to check what 32 bit pkgs it is trying to install
[12:49] <alx5000> EriC^^: yeah, the problem is that the manpage for systemd.mount doesn't mention emergency mode at all
[12:49] <EriC^^> alx5000: try ##linux
[12:49] <alx5000> EriC^^: will do, thanks!
[12:50] <BluesKaj> Nene1, then how dor you know they are 32bit?
[12:50] <EriC^^> sure
[12:50] <Nene1> BluesKaj: i am getting W: Failed to fetch http://ip/ubuntu/dists/trusty-security/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found
[12:50] <tainthappenin> Okay all I'm back: When i press f12 to boot from the USB it says : SYSLINUX 4.07 EDD 2013-07-25 Copyright (c) 1994-2013 Peter Anvin et al  No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found! boot:
[12:51] <EriC^^> Nene1: it normally downloads them if you have 32bit added to dpkg
[12:52] <EriC^^> Nene1: those are just the list of available packages
[12:52] <EriC^^> tainthappenin: try typing "live"
[12:52] <Nene1> EriC^^: how to remove 32 bit from dpkg
[12:52] <BluesKaj> Nene1, run your update/upgrade again, perhaps the source mirror was busy
[12:53] <EriC^^> Nene1: sudo dpkg --remove-architecture i386 , i believe
[12:53] <tainthappenin> at the boot screen?
[12:53] <tainthappenin> or here?
[12:53] <Nene1> BluesKaj: i have been running since hours... still no luck
[12:53] <k0mb0y> I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, I'm using do-release-upgrade to upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04 but I am getting "No new release found"
[12:53] <EriC^^> Nene1: some packages might only be 32 bit though and it's useful to have that in dpkg
[12:53] <k0mb0y> what am I doing wrong?
[12:54] <BluesKaj> well, Nene1 as EriC^^ said  and i did earlier, some packages aren't 64 bit
[12:55] <Nene1> EriC^^: i agree.. but i want to know which 32 bit pkgs i am using... i tried dpkg -l and didnt find any 32 bit pkgs installed
[12:55] <EriC^^> k0mb0y: type grep Prompt /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
[12:55] <EriC^^> Nene1: then you aren't using any, that error is just the list of packages not being found
[12:56] <BluesKaj> !12.04
[12:56] <EriC^^> maybe the server is down temporarily
[12:56] <ThePendulum> EriC^^: well I which'd all of them and just rm -rf'd them and hoped for the best
[12:56] <ThePendulum> thanks :D
[12:56] <thrasher88> hello everyone :) i have a old HDD with installed Ubuntu 14.04 left from my Netbook... is it possible to put it on my laptop and boot to my Ubuntu OS
[12:56] <tainthappenin> eric do you mean from the boot screen? when i see that message? or now?
[12:56] <k0mb0y> EriC^^, that file does not exist
[12:56] <EriC^^> ThePendulum: :D no problem
[12:56] <BluesKaj> not eol yet
[12:56] <EriC^^> tainthappenin: yeah when you get that msg
[12:56] <ThePendulum> thrasher88: worth a try, but a clean install is always better
[12:57] <ThePendulum> thrasher88: do you have data to recover?
[12:57] <EriC^^> k0mb0y: odd
[12:57] <thrasher88> yes dude
[12:57] <EriC^^> k0mb0y: try sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-release-upgrader-core
[12:57] <thrasher88> thats why i want to try
[12:58] <tainthappenin> Eric is there some other set of protocol i should follow after that? so i don't have to keep doing 1 step and coming back?
[12:59] <EriC^^> tainthappenin: no idea, did you try to checksum the iso or use another usb though?
[12:59] <BluesKaj> k0mb0y, you don't happen to have your package manager set to "no new OS upgrades" or some such setting?
[12:59] <k0mb0y> EriC^^, ok, it's Prompt=lts
[12:59] <tainthappenin> yeah i did the check sum before i formatted my usb
[12:59] <Nene1> EriC^^: BluesKaj: i created my own trusty-security local repo using apt-mirror... i got only 64 bit pkgs.. If i try to update one of my system using this repo, it started throwing those 404 erros...
[12:59] <EriC^^> k0mb0y: ok, try to upgrade again
[13:00] <k0mb0y> I did
[13:00] <k0mb0y> same thing
[13:00] <EriC^^> k0mb0y: maybe some other upgrade package is missing, go over the options in software center as BluesKaj suggested
[13:01] <EriC^^> k0mb0y: these are the list of packages i have related to upgrading update-manager-core ubuntu-release-upgrader-gtk ubuntu-release-upgrader-core
[13:03] <Nene1> EriC^^: i created local repo on 64 bit machine.. that's why i didnt get any 32 bit pkgs????
[13:03] <Nene1> or i missed any thing else
[13:03] <reeed> this is weird. I have a large file which ls -l says is 723517440 bytes long, du -b says the same, du -m says it's 13 (megabytes) long. how is it possible for this file to be so sparse?
[13:03] <EriC^^> no i dont think that's why
[13:05] <Nene1> EriC^^: my repo currently having: ubuntu/dists/trusty-security/main/{binary-amd64,i18n,source}
[13:06] <tainthappenin> Eric im back it says it coulld not find a live kernel image
[13:06] <EriC^^> Nene1: hmm, no idea
[13:07] <EriC^^> Nene1: no experience with this, sorry
[13:07] <Nene1> my repo doesn't have binary-i386
[13:07] <Nene1> EriC^^: ok thanks
[13:07] <EriC^^> Nene1: yeah but dpkg is told to get both
[13:07] <EriC^^> type dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
[13:08] <EriC^^> !chromerepo | Nene1 maybe you can use this trick on yours to get only 64bit
[13:08] <Nene1> EriC^^: i386
[13:09] <Nene1> !chromerepo
[13:09] <EriC^^> what's the chrome factoid again?
[13:09] <EriC^^> !chrome
[13:10] <Nene1> EriC^^: output is i386
[13:10] <EriC^^> try adding [arch=amd64] in the sources.list between deb and the http://...
[13:10] <krytarik> !chrome-repo
[13:11] <tainthappenin> Eric when i presed live it says no live kernal image found
[13:11] <tainthappenin> or no kernel image found
[13:11] <EriC^^> krytarik: thank you
[13:11] <krytarik> EriC^^: Sure.
[13:12] <EriC^^> tainthappenin: which ubuntu are you trying to install?
[13:12] <tainthappenin> 15.10 desktop
[13:13] <Nene1> EriC^^: yeah i added that and it is working fine... but i am suspecting any of my pkgs are depend on other 32bit pkgs
[13:13] <OliPicard> How do we feel about Microsoft embedding Ubuntu into Windows 10?
[13:14] <hateball> !ubuwin | OliPicard
[13:14] <reeed> April Fools
[13:15] <\9> a rather tasteless april fools imo coming from a company that actively acts against linux

[13:15] <EriC^^> Nene1: yes i mean add that to your own repo
[13:15] <EriC^^> so it doesn't try to pull in 32-bit ones and say 404
[13:16] <EriC^^> it was seriously april fools?
[13:16] <tainthappenin> Eric - 15.10 desktop
[13:16] <EriC^^> tainthappenin: try 14.04 maybe
[13:16] <Nene1> EriC^^: so you mean to say i can ignore those 404's??
[13:16] <tainthappenin> Why? What's the difference? I mean aside from the obvious
[13:16] <EriC^^> Nene1: if they're caused by your repo then yeah, try to disable your repo and see if they disappear
[13:17] <EriC^^> tainthappenin: this one might have a bug in it
[13:17] <tainthappenin> Can i pay someone for exclusive help? I feel like im in over my head here and im willing to pay someone to help me get this crap going
[13:18] <snoo> £1000 in advance, no guarentee of fix working.
[13:18] <tainthappenin> im happy to pay, im not an idiot though
[13:18] <snoo> damn OK
[13:18] <snoo> That ruined my plan then
[13:19] <tainthappenin> so kind of you to offer though :p
[13:19] <snoo> You'll get better help maybe if you post on askubuntu stackexchange with as much detail as possible - link it here
[13:19] <tainthappenin> this is maddening - i wish i could just buy a disk
[13:20] <TJ-> tainthappenin: what's the problem (I just came in) ?
[13:21] <SchrodingersScat> tainthappenin: think places do sell premade usbs/dvds, but normally you can resolve the issue by trying again, but I haven't been following your case.
[13:22] <EriC^^> there's probably a bug report about it somewhere
[13:22] <tainthappenin> You were helping me last night right? I formatted the USB using Universal USB program suggested last night, When i press f12 to boot from the USB it says : SYSLINUX 4.07 EDD 2013-07-25 Copyright (c) 1994-2013 Peter Anvin et al  No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found! boot, Eric suggested i type live into the command prompt that appears with it, i did and it says no kernel image found
[13:23] <EriC^^> tainthappenin: try linux live usb creator to make the live usb, it does the trick sometimes
[13:23] <TJ-> tainthappenin: ahhh! OK, so the good news is, sector 0 is being read (the boot-strap) and then it manages to find the rest of the boot-loader (which is isolinux from the syslinux project), but then it cannot find its config files, which tells us your particular PC has a bug in its BIOS that mis-reports the drive numbering
[13:23] <BluesKaj> tainthappenin, or rufus on windows
[13:24] <tainthappenin> blues - im on windows 7 - you suggest rufus?
[13:24] <tainthappenin> TJ - so what should i do?
[13:24] <TJ-> tainthappenin: I wrote the patch for syslinux to work around that back in 2009. The *trick* is to hold down the Ctrl key *whilst the system starts up* - syslinux sees that key down and uses an alternate boot-disk identification method
[13:25] <TJ-> tainthappenin: you have to be holding down the Ctrl key as the first sector is read from the USB, so best to hold it down all the time the PC is doing its power-on-self-test (POST) stuff until you see a message from the boot-loader
[13:25] <tainthappenin> so i need to restart my computer again - press f12 to boot from USB - select boot from usb - and immediately be pressing CTRL
[13:25] <tainthappenin> is that correct? or should i basically hold the key down from the start?
[13:26] <Nene1> EriC^^: if i comment my repo, 404's are not coming...
[13:27] <EriC^^> Nene1: add [arch=amd64] to your repo's deb http:// line
[13:27] <EriC^^> between deb and http://
[13:27] <TJ-> for those interested, the technical explanation: BIOS should present the boot device as drive 0x80 (first hard drive) to the boot-loader. It sets that for the boot parameters, but when the boot-loader makes BIOS read-disk calls to read data from disk 0x80 the BIOS has switched the device order around so 0x80 isn't the first boot device, and therefore reads don't hit the correct disk
[13:27] <tainthappenin> maybe this computer is just not capable of switching to linux? It's a piece of junk
[13:28] <TJ-> tainthappenin: you'll need to hold down Ctrl as you select which device to boot from, after you're on the BIOS's boot selection menu
[13:28] <tainthappenin> okay - im gonna do that now - any other heads ups you can give me?
[13:28] <TJ-> tainthappenin: there were quite a few BIOSs with this bug in the 2000-2010 period including from big names like Sony
[13:29] <BluesKaj> if you can run windows 7 tainthappenin, you can run linux without issue, the problem lies with the USB app you used to creta the bootable image
[13:29] <TJ-> tainthappenin: that's the only workaround there is, the only other option is boot from a real DVD drive
[13:29] <tainthappenin> this one is a toshiba
[13:29] <Nene1> EriC^^: ok... if i create repo with only "main" component, is there any chance that pkg in main depends on other components (restricted)??
[13:29] <tainthappenin> Well that's an option too i guess? I could burn it to a CD
[13:30] <tainthappenin> tj will you be here for a bit? im gonna try what you suggested
[13:30] <TJ-> tainthappenin: I should be, though not necessarily watching IRC continuously
[13:30] <tainthappenin> any chance you live in houston?
[13:30] <tainthappenin> lol
[13:30] <TJ-> tainthappenin: near Sherwood Forest :D
[13:31] <tainthappenin> oh over there near robin of locksley
[13:31] <EriC^^> Nene1: no
[13:31] <EriC^^> i dont think so
[13:31] <tainthappenin> brb gonna try holding control as i select usb
[13:31] <Nene1> EriC^^: ok thanks
[13:31] <EriC^^> no problem
[13:35] <tainthappenin> im back TJ - it no workey
[13:36] <tainthappenin> i've got my second PC started up im getting on MIRC there so idon't have to keep logging off of here
[13:36] <TJ-> tainthappenin: right... what is the exact make/model of the PC giving trouble?
[13:36] <tainthappenin> Toshiba - piece of junk
[13:37] <TJ-> tainthappenin: I assume by 'no workey' you mean you got the same syslinux result?
[13:37] <tainthappenin> yes - Toshiba -- Satellite l855
[13:37] <tainthappenin> Well let me elaborate on that though - when i pressed control before pressing enter to select the USB to boot from it wouldn't let me select the USB so i pressed both simultaneously
[13:38] <TJ-> tainthappenin: it is a UEFI firmware ?
[13:38] <tainthappenin> not sure what that means
[13:39] <tainthappenindes> okay TJ this is my desktop - the other computer is your canvas now just direct me and i will do it
[13:39] <TJ-> tainthappenin: yes; that is often required. That should work. The reason boot-loaders use the Shift or Ctrl keys as trigger keys is that unlike all other keys they don't cause key-down/key-up events. Instead they cause single bits in a flags register to be set to indicate their 'down' state, which means boot-loader can read their state regardless of what other keys might be in the keyboard buffer
[13:40] <tainthappenindes> Ah okay.
[13:41] <tainthappenindes> any other suggestions you can think of? I'm not sure what the UEFI means ?
[13:41] <TJ-> tainthappenindes: I mean that based on an AskUbuntu question and answer I've just found for that model PC, it says the firmware is UEFI not BIOS, and to successfully boot it requires the firmware Setup via F12, Advanced menu, and set the boot mode for compatibility BIOS mode. See http://askubuntu.com/questions/176803/ubuntu-12-04-wont-boot-on-toshiba-satellite-l855
[13:42] <BluesKaj> tainthappenindes, UEFI replaced the regular BIOS on computers back in 2010
[13:42] <tainthappenindes> so instead of doing the normal boot from USB like most other computers i have to do some different steps ?
[13:42] <BluesKaj> tainthappenindes, in short, yes
[13:44] <TJ-> tainthappenindes: I found another user with the same issue who says "...in the bios under advanced- system configuration -boot mode- change it to csm boot..."
[13:44] <tainthappenindes> okay restarting now
[13:44] <TJ-> tainthappenindes: "csm" == "Compatibility Support Module" a.k.a. BIOS boot ... although if syslinux is being started I rather think that is already enabled
[13:45] <tainthappenindes> so i pressed f12 and i don't see anything about advanced
[13:45] <tainthappenindes> i have 4 options 1 - hdd/ssd 2 - usb  3- odd 4- lan
[13:46] <tainthappenindes> there is an option that i could select for setup utility (instead of pressing f12 i would press f2 )
[13:46] <TJ-> tainthappenindes: is there no other option to get into 'Setup'? If not, then presumably on that model you press a key other than F12 to enter Setup
[13:46] <TJ-> tainthappenindes: you got it :)
[13:47] <tainthappenindes> okay im in advanced but im not seeing anything about CSM
[13:47] <TJ-> tainthappenindes: anything about "legacy" or "BIOS" boot modes?
[13:47] <tainthappenindes> USB legacy emulation is enabled?
[13:47] <TJ-> tainthappenindes: yes, it is needed
[13:48] <tainthappenindes> so leave that alone - right?
[13:48] <TJ-> tainthappenindes: Go into the "Security" menu, see if "Secure Boot" is enabled
[13:48] <TJ-> tainthappenindes: yes, leave it alone, it provides the boot-loader with services to read the USB device
[13:49] <tainthappenindes> I don't see a secure boot option - I see 2 headings bios password (2 suboptions user & supervisor) and HDD/SSD password (2 subs - user & mode)
[13:49] <BluesKaj> tainthappenindes, disable "quick or fast start if equipped
[13:49] <TJ-> tainthappenindes: hmmm, this sounds like the "L855" model you have isn't UEFI. I wonder if Toshiba re-use the model IDs and it covers an older model with only a BIOS
[13:50] <BluesKaj> tainthappenindes, when did tou buy the laptop?
[13:50] <BluesKaj> you
[13:50] <TJ-> tainthappenindes: check the sticker on the base of the unit; around the "L855" is there other numbers or letters, e.g. "L855-10W"
[13:51] <TJ-> tainthappenindes: your description seems to match http://www.toshiba.co.uk/discontinued-products/satellite-l855-10w/
[13:52] <Kartagis> how come fsck.ext4 has been scanning my usb hdd which has been wiped for the past 2 hours, and finding a lot of errors?
[13:52] <TJ-> tainthappenindes: in which case it is a BIOS-only system and we can forget about the UEFI possibilities. Takes us back to the buggy BIOS issue confusing syslinux
[13:52] <TJ-> Kartagis: corruption on the USB interface
[13:52] <TJ-> Kartagis: bad USB device controller possibly
[13:52] <BluesKaj> ahh W7 probly pre-2010
[13:53] <Kartagis> TJ-: how do I check?
[13:53] <TJ-> BluesKaj: tainthappenindes looking at the "Security Features" box near the end of the page it sounds like what has been described
[13:53] <BluesKaj> yeah  TJ- , agreed
[13:54] <TJ-> Kartagis: i'd look for I/O errors being reported by the kernel: "tail -f /var/log/kern.log"
[13:54] <BluesKaj> no uefi , just agood ol' bios ...easier to deal with
[13:54] <tainthappenindes> im back - not sure what happened im sorry
[13:54] <tainthappenindes> Never saw your reply TJ - did you say anything?
[13:55] <TJ-> tainthappenindes: in which case it is a BIOS-only system and we can forget about the UEFI possibilities. Takes us back to the buggy BIOS issue confusing syslinux
[13:55] <tainthappenindes> ah okay. So what do you suggest i do now?
[13:57] <TJ-> tainthappenindes: well, I think we first confirm that the data on the USB matches whats in the ISO file to check for any corruption there
[13:57] <TJ-> tainthappenindes: the trouble is, we need to boot into a Linux of some sort to do that :D
[13:58] <TJ-> tainthappenindes: On your Windows PC, do you have an Virtual Machine manager software such as VirtualBox or VMware? You could boot a VM guest from the ISO file and attach the USB device to the VM guest
[13:59] <NaIdAnG> #lubuntu
[14:00] <tainthappenin2> TJ i have this desktop i could use
[14:00] <tainthappenin2> i could install that ubuntu partition on it - it's windows xp
[14:01] <beatnyk> can someone help me? http://prntscr.com/amsjiw
[14:02] <TJ-> tainthappenin2: I'd recommend VirtualBox then; it'll allow you to use a Linux virtual machine from Windows too https://www.virtualbox.org/
[14:03] <tainthappenin2> install it on the desktop? or the laptop that im trying to convert?
[14:04] <TJ-> tainthappenin2: install VB on your Good Windows system so its known to be stable
[14:05] <tainthappenin2> installing  - it says it will disconnect me though so just a heads up ill be back in just a second
[14:05] <TJ-> tainthappenin2: that'll give you a stable platform to test the ISO boots in a VM guest to begin with, so you'll also see and experience what to actually expect when it works properly. Then, in a booted Live ISO VM Guest you can explore the USB device itself by using VB's Guest configuration to attach the USB device to the guest before you boot the guest
[14:07] <tainthappenin2> tj will you help me with that? still lots of stuff over my head
[14:09] <MonkeyDust> tainthappenin2  what was your initial question?
[14:10] <TJ-> MonkeyDust: a Toshiba L855 laptop (older BIOS model) failing to boot from USB with the ISO on. Fails at the syslinux loader stage.
[14:10] <tainthappenin2> Who knows at this point - i can't get this ubuntu 15.10 to work
[14:11] <TJ-> MonkeyDust: current idea is to install VirtualBox on an alternate stable Windows PC and use it to boot the ISO file to the Live environment, then attach the USB device to the VM guest so we can explore and fix the image issues
[14:12] <tainthappenin2> okay i have Virtual box installed
[14:12] <tainthappenin2> direct me please
[14:13] <TJ-> tainthappenin2: the next step is to create a new Guest and attach the downloaded ubuntu-15.10 ISO file to it as a virtual DVD/CD device, and then start the guest.
[14:14] <tainthappenin2> In VM you mean?
[14:14] <DirtyCajun> Im moving from one hdd to a ssd. the HDD partition is 740G +Swap and the SSD is only 120G. the actual filespace taken is only 6GB on the 740 Partition. Without using a gui or gparted. there has got to be a way to move this and have grub follow
[14:14] <TJ-> tainthappenin2: this article seems to give a good illustrated overview: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/virtualbox
[14:15] <tainthappenin2> and TJ do you mean the regular ISO file? so do i need to put the ubuntu on a regular (not in a formatted fashion) flash drive ?
[14:15] <tainthappenin2> or can i use the formatted USB that i made?
[14:15] <TJ-> tainthappenin2: use the actual downloaded .iso file you have in the Windows file-system
[14:16] <TJ-> tainthappenin2: scan that article it shows how to attach an ISO to the VM guest as part of the processs.
[14:16] <TJ-> tainthappenin2: the only thing you'll really do differently to that article, is when the VM guest boots into the Live ISO you'll choose "Try Ubuntu" not "Install"
[14:17] <TJ-> tainthappenin2: that will be the exact same thing that should be happening when you boot from USB on that L855
[14:17] <tainthappenin2> okay gonna read this article real quick - tj - you're a godsend
[14:17] <TJ-> tainthappenin2: once you've managed to get the VM guest too boot from the ISO file correctly, then we'll deal with how to use VirtualBox config to attach the real USB device to the Gueset
[14:18] <tainthappenin2> oh TJ you were serious about living in sherwood forest?
[14:18] <tainthappenin2> im westbury
[14:19] <TJ-> tainthappenin2: not in, but a few miles from
[14:19] <tainthappenin2> small world - happy to buy you a Yellow Rose(lone pint brewery) for all your help
[14:20] <MonkeyDust> cheers!
[14:20] <lerner> when I log in a window appears: Configured directory for incoming files does not exist , Please make sure that directory "/home/frank" exists or configure it with blueman-services << I renamed my home dir to something else and I want to delete every reference to "frank". how do I do that?
[14:21] <lerner> the directory for incoming files "frank" has to go
[14:22] <dota> anyone know how to change the color of a tab control?
[14:23] <TJ-> lerner: in the configuration of blueman. you may find it with "grep -rn '/home/frank' ~/.config/*"
[14:25] <tainthappenin2> okay im looking at the screen for Try ubuntu or install ubuntu
[14:25] <TJ-> tainthappenin2: select "Try"
[14:25] <TJ-> tainthappenin2: now you'll see what you should expect to see on the Toshiba
[14:26] <tainthappenin2> booted to what i assume is the linux desktop
[14:26] <tainthappenin2> shows me keyboard shortcuts
[14:26] <TJ-> tainthappenin2: OK, that's great. I think you can open a terminal to a shell with Ctrl+Alt+T
[14:27] <tainthappenin2> yeah im in a terminal now
[14:27] <tainthappenin2> it has ubuntu@ubuntu:~$
[14:27] <tainthappenin2> and blinking cursor
[14:27] <lerner> TJ-, and how do I get rid of all those entries? its a huge list
[14:27] <TJ-> tainthappenin2: right, so that will be basic process to follow once we've got the USB device connected to that VM guest
[14:28] <tainthappenin2> so now do need to put the formatted USB in?
[14:28] <TJ-> lerner: you'll need to process them by hand, or else run each file through 'sed' (the Stream EDitor) to replace 'frank' with the new username
[14:28] <TJ-> tainthappenin2: now, we need to find out *how* to tell VB to connect a USB device to the virtual machine. I don't use VB myself so I'm flying more blind than you here!
[14:29] <TJ-> Anyone else know and can help at this point?
[14:30] <EriC^^> TJ-: you want to access the usb from virtualbox?
[14:30] <tainthappenin2> but im on the desktop right now - how am i going to make this progress transfer to the laptop i want to format
[14:31] <EriC^^> TJ-: tainthappenin2 https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#rawdisk
[14:32] <TJ-> EriC^^: yes, so the VM guest sees it as a virtual USB device via host pass-through
[14:32] <tainthappenin2> okay i can follow the instructions but you guys mind explaining to me here real quick what exactly we're doing (big picture wise)?
[14:32] <lerner> but I dont understand TJ- , I clicked on a file and it does not exist anymore (as it shoudl be, the path is not right, because the username (home directory) is different
[14:33] <tainthappenin2> I have a flash drive with just the ISO file on it in one usb slot, and i've used VM to select that file and run it and try ubuntu, and i also have the other formatted (with ubuntu) plugged in another usb port
[14:33] <tainthappenin2> It seems to work here no problem, but how do i get this to make it all work on my laptop?
[14:33] <TJ-> lerner: you've lost me. That 'grep' command will have listed files:linenumbers <text on line that has "frank" in it>  - the "files:linenumbers" gives you the info on the files and location that need changing
[14:34] <TJ-> tainthappenin2: OK, so the USB device with the problem needs attaching to the new VM guest you've made
[14:34] <TJ-> tainthappenin2: with that done the Linux instance inside the guest should detect the USB device connected and we'll be able to investigate it
[14:34] <tainthappenin2> attaching? im not sure what that means
[14:34] <EriC^^> why are you trying to write to the usb?
[14:35] <tainthappenin2> im not
[14:35] <TJ-> tainthappenin2: you have to configure the VirtualBox guest so that the Windows host USB device is connectef to the VM guest you're running
[14:35] <tainthappenin2> completely lost here - Eric the link you sent is a bit beyond my technical ability
[14:36] <tainthappenin2> not sure what im looking for
[14:36] <EriC^^> somebody mind updating me?
[14:36] <herbert> ??
[14:36] <EriC^^> or should i scroll up and read
[14:36] <tainthappenin2> On my situation eric?
[14:36] <EriC^^> yeah
[14:36] <herbert> whats the meaning of scroll up
[14:36] <TJ-> EriC^^: summary: a USB with the 15.10 installer on it, fails to completely boot on a Toshiba L855 (as you know from earlier)
[14:37] <TJ-> EriC^^: we've now got a stable Windows host with VirtualBox, and a Guest VM booted from the ubuntu-15.10 ISO *file*.
[14:37] <TJ-> EriC^^: now, we want to connect the USB device into the VM guest so we can use Linux tools to check it.
[14:37] <tainthappenin2> So my laptop, when trying to boot from a formatted USB (with Ubuntu 15.10 using universal usb formatter) wouldn't boot - said couldn't find kernel image - we've resolved any bios boot issues in the advanced boot menu on the laptop
[14:37] <MonkeyDust> herbert  it means, use the middle mouse wheel to go higher in a webpage
[14:37] <EriC^^> TJ-: oh, ok
[14:38] <TJ-> EriC^^: I figure working with tools we know is going to be much easier than trying to find ways to do it in windows
[14:38] <tainthappenin2> We've moved to my desktop and downloaded virtual box and booted a 'Try ubuntu' from the ISO file
[14:38] <hobbily> everyone in this channel is a traitor
[14:38] <TJ-> EriC^^: once the USB is connected to the guest and the guest is seeing it, we can run a hash check over the range of bytes that are the ISO file, to ensure the image on the USB is not corrupt.
[14:38] <tainthappenin2> Any input Eric? I appreciate the link you sent - i just have no idea what to do with all that info
[14:38] <hobbily> fuck microsoft
[14:38] <hobbily> fuck canonical
[14:39] <DirtyCajun> does someone have a few min to go to PM and follow my process to see where i screwed up? its an os hd move
[14:39] <teward> !ops | hobbily
[14:39] <MonkeyDust> hobbily  wrong channel
[14:39] <teward> ooop they left nevermind
[14:39] <lerner> wow, its amazing the ammounts of information logs on a computer store
[14:39] <teward> sorry
[14:39] <EriC^^> tainthappenin2: follow the instructions here http://www.htpcbeginner.com/access-usb-drive-in-virtualbox-guest-os/
[14:39] <k1l_> @mark hobbily
[14:40] <TJ-> EriC^^: thank-you! that's a great illustrated link
[14:40] <EriC^^> no problem
[14:41] <tainthappenin2> okay small problem - the usb names aren't the same as when viewing in windows
[14:41] <TJ-> tainthappenin2: guess? or unplug one and see which disappears?
[14:44] <tainthappenin3> so frustrating - keep getting booted
[14:44] <tainthappenin3> i guess it's the rain TJ
[14:45] <tainthappenin3> So did anyone respond to my small problem about not being able to identify which USB to select using the link you sent Eric?
[14:45] <TJ-> tainthappenin3: guess? or unplug one and see which disappears?
[14:46] <tainthappenin3> not sure if that's a good idea since i booted the Ubuntu in VM from the file on one of them
[14:46] <tainthappenin3> right?
[14:46] <TJ-> tainthappenin3: well, shut down the VM, it won't hurt anything, then do it
[14:46] <tainthappenin3> i've gone through and selected all of them ... nothing has happened
[14:47] <TJ-> tainthappenin3: Did you add the 'USB filter' for the device to the Guest's own configuration too?
[14:48] <read424> alquien puede ayudarme con un servidor DNS y servidor Web
[14:48] <tainthappenin3> i closed VM and am moving the file to my desktop so that i can just have 1 flash drive inserted
[14:48] <EriC^^> tainthappenin3: TJ- i think you need to add the guest-additions-iso on the guest os
[14:49] <tainthappenin3> I didn't add a USB filter... not sure we talked about that yet
[14:50] <tainthappenin3> it's frozen the Ubuntu instance i have running... so i guess maybe it's thinking?
[14:50] <EriC^^> i think you also need to add the extension pack
[14:50] <tainthappenin3> i'm going to shower really quick
[14:59] <tainthappenin3> guys im going into work for a bit - ill get on mirc when i get there
[14:59] <tainthappenin3> TJ can i email you maybe? you've been like a saint so far to me
[14:59] <tainthappenin3> any way i can try to coordinate getting online for help when you're on?
[15:00] <EriC^^> he's "pinged out" (his connection dropped)
[15:00] <tainthappenin3> ah
[15:00] <tainthappenin3> okay - crazy small world - he lives like 10 miles from me
[15:00] <tainthappenin3> Eric thank you for all your help too
[15:00] <EriC^^> wow
[15:01] <tainthappenin3> ill be on at work in a bit - have a good day guys
[15:01] <EriC^^> sure, no problem
[15:01] <EriC^^> you too!
[15:01] <feneco> any idea how to hide this menu bar? https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/lGtGgMjZ/any%20idea%20how%20to%20hide%20his%20menu%20bar%20on%20vmware%20player%2Fubuntu%2014.04%3F
[15:06] <lerner> Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key ** (synaptic:20629): WARNING **: Could not open X display < what do I do?
[15:07] <EriC^^> lerner: are you getting that error when you try to open synaptic?
[15:07] <k1l_> lerner: what ubuntu exactly? what program? what happend before?
[15:07] <lerner> Im trying to access synaptic as root
[15:07] <k1l_> lerner: as root?
[15:07] <lerner> Xubuntu 15.10, Im trying to "sudo synaptic" and I get that
[15:07] <lerner> sudo is root, right?
[15:07] <k1l_> lerner: dont use sudo with gui
[15:08] <k1l_> like we told you 100times before
[15:08] <lerner> k1l_, and what am I supposed to do if the gui doesnt open?
[15:09] <k1l_> lerner: you might already spoiled some file permissions because you misuse sudo
[15:09] <gartral> hey all, I dependency rabbit-hole i'm trying to follow, isn't there an apt-get install --follow-depencies or some simmilar flags i can pass?
[15:09] <gartral> i have a *
[15:09] <k1l_> lerner: gksu is the sudo for gui. but synpatic should have an own "need root permissions" dialog when started
[15:09] <TJ-> gartral: do you mean "apt-cache depends <packagename>" ?
[15:10] <TJ-> gartral: "apt-get install <packagename>" always installs the dependencies, or fails if they are not available
[15:10] <lerner> i tried thrice opening synaptic clicking on the icon and getting no dialog I tried a cli
[15:11] <gartral> TJ-: no, I mean when i try to install libcupsimage2-dev I need libjpeg8-dev, which in turn needs libjpegturbo9-dev, which in turn needs yet ANOTHER package... how do I tell apt to shut up and just follow all these inter-twined dependencies?!
[15:11] <TJ-> gartral: if the package declares a depends on another package, the other package will be isntalled
[15:12] <gartral> TJ-: IT'S NOT.
[15:12] <gartral> TJ-: http://i.imgur.com/i0oy9Gm.png
[15:12] <TJ-> gartral: what ubuntu release is it?
[15:13] <gartral> TJ-: 15.10
[15:13] <EriC^^> lerner: try apt-cache policy pkexec
[15:13] <TJ-> gartral: according to packages.ubuntu.com, libcupsimage2-dev depends on libjpeg-dev which is a virtual package provided by   libjpeg-turbo8-dev
[15:15] <TJ-> gartral: "you have held broken packages"! Do "sudo apt-get -f install" to fix those
[15:15] <gartral> sudo apt-get -f install
[15:15] <gartral> oops
[15:15] <TJ-> gartral: if that passes, but you still get the error, that suggests you've had other repositories configured in the system which were later removed, meaning apt can no longer solve the dependency
[15:16] <gartral> TJ-: apt lies, I have no broken packages
[15:17] <gartral> TJ-: I literally just reloaded ubuntu onto this machine last night
[15:17] <gartral> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15577484/
[15:19] <EriC^^> gartral: try dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii
[15:20] <gartral> EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15577518/
[15:22] <TJ-> gartral: I've just tried here on 15.10 and "sudo apt-get --dry-run install libcupsimage2-dev" shows no problems
[15:24] <gartral> TJ-: EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15577545/
[15:24] <TJ-> gartral: have you recently done "sudo apt-get update" before trying these commands?
[15:25] <gartral> TJ-: yup
[15:25] <TJ-> gartral: I'm wondering if the package lists were corrupted in some way; try it again
[15:26] <EriC^^> gartral: what happens when you try sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev ?
[15:27] <gartral> EriC^^: it tells me I need libjpeg-turbo8-dev
[15:27] <EriC^^> and when you try to install that?
[15:27] <DirtyCajun> OMG i got it working. just as a general note for grub if anyone is interested the ONLY way its going to update-grub correctly is if you are already booted into the new HD which you cant do because you havent updated grub... endless loop. until you chroot.
[15:28] <EriC^^> at some point you should find a house made of candy and chocolate
[15:28] <gartral> EriC^^: ahhhaha... there's a conflict.
[15:29] <gartral> EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15577576/
[15:30] <JesseH> So, I went to boot up my mac-running-lubuntu machine today, and at first it printed a bunch of whited out text on a black screen. I set the gfxmode in grub to "640x480" and it got me to the login screen, but now it's frozen and I can't even get to a different console using the ctrl-alt-f* combinations
[15:31] <gartral> JesseH: when was the last time that machine was on?
[15:33] <mmkumr> I am having a problem. I am trying to connect to my owm wi-fi but I am unable to connect but when I am trying to connect to other wi-fi or hotspots it is connecting.
[15:33] <JesseH> gartral: Yesterday. It's been working fine for a while, but now it's stopped working on the worst possible day. I thought it was a prank at first but it isn't.
[15:34] <gartral> JesseH: sounds like an update borked it.. can you try to boot an older kernel?
[15:34] <JesseH> Yeah an update might have. I'll give that a try and let you know what happens.
[15:35] <gartral> EriC^^: haha.. wrong fairy tale btw
[15:36] <EriC^^> gartral: if you remove libjpeg62-dev it might fix it, i have no idea what is installed that depends on it though, we'll see
[15:36] <EriC^^> gartral: isn't it the bread crums and chocolate house?
[15:36] <nacc> EriC^^: in xenial, at least, no revdeps
[15:37] <EriC^^> TJ-: any idea how we could get what depends on a currently installed package using some debfoster magic?
[15:37] <EriC^^> nacc: aha
[15:37] <JesseH> gartral: Well, look at that. An older kernel works fine. I would report this but I have two hours of work to catch up on.
[15:37] <nacc> EriC^^: there is a reverse-depends tool, there's apt-cache rdepends, or grep-dctrl :)
[15:37] <JesseH> Thanks for your help gartral.
[15:38] <gartral> EriC^^: firstly, libjpeg62-dev isn't installed.. and second, I said "rabbit-hole" implying Alice in Wonderland, not "bread crumbs" which implies Hansel and Gredle
[15:40] <EriC^^> gartral: it isn't? hmm.. yeah i went on my own bread crum cause it was kind of similar
[15:41] <mmkumr> I am having a problem. I am trying to connect to my owm wi-fi but I am unable to connect but when I am trying to connect to other wi-fi or hotspots it is connecting. I am using ubuntu gnome.
[15:41] <Nouv> having a problem with network-manager-openvpn, it connects okay but I can't access the internet after connecting it.  Can anyone help?
[15:42] <Booch> hey, how could I fix it. dpkg: error: failed to open package info file `/usr/local/var/lib/dpkg/status' for reading: No such file or directory
[15:42] <Booch> Archlinux
[15:42] <EriC^^> gartral: i wonder why it thinks libjpeg62-dev is installed
[15:42] <TJ-> Nouv: that's because you're allowing the VPN to become the default route
[15:42] <gartral> EriC^^: do me a favor and try sudo apt-get install --dry-run --assume-yes libcupsimage2-dev
[15:42] <sssooouuulll> Nouv---- sudo service networking restart
[15:42] <EriC^^> gartral: ok
[15:43] <Nouv> TJ-, I want the vpn to be the default route, I want all traffic to go through it
[15:43] <gartral> EriC^^: it doesn't, it says very specifically that it's TO BE installed, and that will conflict with libjpeg-turbo8-dev, which is ALSO TO BE installed
[15:43] <EriC^^> gartral: seems to have went well
[15:44] <EriC^^> gartral: yeah, it says that libjpeg-turbo8-dev needs to be installed, and that package in it's info conflicts with libjpeg62-dev (why's it trying to install it though or thinks it's installed already)
[15:45] <EriC^^> gartral: try only installing libjpeg-turbo8-dev
[15:46] <gartral> EriC^^: I just figured it out
[15:46] <Nouv> TJ-, ping
[15:47] <gartral> EriC^^: it's the kxstudio ppa causing me grief... never thought something for SOUND would be so poorly managed that it would screw with me trying to install my PRINTER.
[15:48] <TJ-> Nouv: in which case you need to ensure the VPN *server* is configured for IP forwarding and is either routing or masquarading (NAT) the traffic
[15:48] <Nouv> TJ-, I don't have control over the server, it's privateinternetaccess
[15:48] <TJ-> gartral: ahhh, PPAs
[15:48] <EriC^^> gartral: oh ok
[15:49] <TJ-> Nouv: well, that's the explanation. If the client's default route is sending all traffic through the VPN tunnel, then the VPN server is reponsible for forwarding/NAT
[15:49] <Nouv> TJ-, I know it does though, this works fine on windows and everything else
[15:49] <Nouv> TJ-, linux is just being stupid
[15:50] <TJ-> Nouv: can you ping the VPN server itself through the tunnel, using the server's VPN peer IP?
[15:50] <TJ-> Nouv: do you have some local firewall rules set that are blocking it?
[15:51] <TJ-> Nouv: if you have a default INPUT policy of DROP you'd need a rule to allow the tun* interface in
[15:51] <rekoil> hello, anyone able to help me boot a ubuntu image on a device without vga? i'm getting stuck at syslinux failing to load gfxboot which is to be expected as its a serial output to console
[15:51] <rekoil> ive got a boot: prompt
[15:51] <rekoil> can i just type a linux boot line there?
[15:52] <TJ-> rekoil: syslinux can be used on a serial link, as can the kernel
[15:52] <gartral> rekoil: you can, but why aren't you using a server install disk?
[15:52] <rekoil> gartral: i am
[15:52] <rekoil> server install apparently uses gfxboot as well
[15:52] <Nouv> TJ-, I don't know about any of that
[15:52] <rekoil> debian images work fine, but not ubuntu
[15:52] <rekoil> and i want ubuntu on this
[15:52] <Nouv> TJ-, I know 100% that the config that I'm using works though, because I can do /etc/openvpn *conf* and it works perfectly
[15:52] <codeinstein> c
[15:52] <Nouv> it's just network-manager-openvpn that is bad
[15:53] <gartral> that's... dumb..
[15:53] <rekoil> gartral: i need help with what to type here :)
[15:53] <TJ-> Nouv: well nm-openvpn is just a wrapper around the openvpn config file, it does nothing else
[15:53] <rekoil> something like "/install/vmlinuz initrd=/install/initrd.gz  file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu-server.seed --- console=ttyS1,115200n8" is what i want
[15:53] <Nouv> TJ-, but .. it doesn't work
[15:53] <rekoil> but i don't know the paths
[15:54] <TJ-> Nouv: have you enabled NM debugging and watched syslog for clues?
[15:54] <Nouv> TJ-, yep, can't see anything at all
[15:56] <mrchairman> On Ubuntu Phone,  does one have to use the default browser? Can firefox or chrome be installed?
[15:56] <tdelam> hey guys, I just installed Ubuntu 14.04-4 LTS and everything is fine, except when I log in to install anything via apt-get nothing exists? I tried apt-cache search mysql for example and the only that comes back is "rsyslog - reliable system and kernel logging daemon" .. i've never seen this before. Any idea why this would be? sources.list seems fine
[15:56] <TJ-> Nouv: and openvpn is logging the parameters its configuring the tunnel with?
[15:56] <Nouv> TJ-, Not sure
[15:57] <TJ-> Nouv: that'll be in syslog along with NM messages
[15:57] <BluesKaj> Nouv, a hint after installing openvpn and NMopenvpn , do , sudo syaemctl restart network-manager in the terminal, you should be able to connect after that
[15:57] <Nouv> BluesKaj, I should clarify I'm on elementary so it doesn't have systemctl
[15:57] <nacc> tdelam: did you run an `apt-get update` first, just to be current?
[15:57] <BluesKaj> Nouv, this is ubuntu support not elementary
[15:58] <TJ-> Nouv: right... so not an Ubuntu issue then!
[15:58] <Nouv> Yep, thought I was in #linux, sorry
[15:59] <odroid> Hi
[15:59] <odroid> i am new to linux & ubuntu
[16:00] <odroid> the internet browser on this machine is chromium
[16:00] <odroid> its crashing as soon as i open it
[16:00] <EriC^^> odroid: try to open it from a terminal
[16:00] <odroid> is this a known issue? i dont have any other browser on the machine
[16:00] <odroid> whats the command?
[16:01] <EriC^^> chromium ? i think
[16:01] <odroid> yes
[16:01] <EriC^^> no i mean that's the command

[16:09] <boriseto> MonkeyDust, sorry lost connection for a whle. Well it isn't in the startup apps (it might be hidden). Let me check that.
[16:11] <boriseto> MonkeyDust, it already was checked.

[16:23] <choki> hello i have problem with virtualbox, my shared folder isnt auto mounted in guest :"(
[16:23] <choki> why does it suck so hard?
[16:23] <MonkeyDust> choki  mind ypur language
[16:23] <dougn> so I've been taking the xenial daily builds for a spin, and I was surprised that a lot of lxc/lxd infrastructure is set up as part of the default build, including a virtual network interface with an arbitrarily assigned IP range attached....
[16:23] <choki> sorry but idk why it isnt workign anymore
[16:24] <choki> MonkeyDust: pls ban me
[16:24] <choki> i ll rant just
[16:24] <choki> kick and ban or ban and kick with bankick
[16:24] <dougn> I'm hoping this isn't going to make it into the final release?
[16:24] <choki> is it possible to ban first and then kick?
[16:24] <choki> asdf
[16:24] <choki>  KIKOOOOOOOOO MonkeyDust pls kill this shit virtualbox sucks LMAO !!!!!!!!!!!! :o)))))))
[16:25] <lotus|xenial> dougn: #ubuntu+1 for xenial please
[16:26] <nacc> dougn: it won't be, afaik
[16:26]  * dougn nods
[16:26] <nacc> dougn: at least the latter bit
[16:26] <dougn> thanks lotus, will hop on #ubuntu+1
[16:27] <dougn> yeah, I can see a rationale for including the lxc/lxd packages in the base install, but really not the network services (dnsmasq etc)
[16:27] <davido> #ubuntu+1 almost merits being in the topic line of this channel.
[16:28] <DirtyCajun> how coy
[16:28] <lotuspsychje> davido: check topic
[16:29] <davido> ah, so it is.  missed seeing it. :)
[16:32] <r00ter> hi
[16:32] <r00ter> where can i get cron templates ?
[16:33] <r00ter> hey
[16:33] <r00ter> need help
[16:34] <googlebros> @which type yo help need
[16:34] <r00ter> where can i get cron templates ?
[16:34] <lotuspsychje> !patience | r00ter
[16:34] <r00ter> @googlebros
[16:34] <fewald> http://crontab-generator.org/
[16:36] <MonkeyDust> ubuntu has a gui for cron, too
[16:37] <r00ter> yea.. the gnome scheduler... actually i'm kind of new to cron....want to get prebuilt templates with functions
[16:37] <MonkeyDust> !info gnome-schedule
[16:38] <fewald> cron just run any executable scripts. you can run bash or anything binary
[16:39] <fewald> you need specify only how-often, from-which-user and executable path with options if needed
[16:40] <fewald> how-often part contains a bit tricky syntax so you can use generator in link above
[16:40] <r00ter> fewald : thanks
[16:40] <fewald> look at /etc/crontab and you will see
[16:41] <llutz> keep in mind,user-crontab have no user-filed
[16:44] <r00ter> exit
[16:46] <WatchHBONodric> Hi, i am trying to watch hbo nordic, using ubuntu, in firefox, it lags all the time, but i get sound and image. in chrome(/ium) the movie or series will "load" and then stick to a black screen. Opera same, tried to install chrome in wine, didnt work. any ideas how to get hbo to play in some other browser than firefox?
[16:47] <MonkeyDust> WatchHBONodric  if you don't get an answer here, try in #ubuntustudio
[16:47] <lotuspsychje> WatchHBONodric: chromium-browser + pepperflash
[16:47] <lotuspsychje> WatchHBONodric: or firefox + freshplayer
[16:47] <WatchHBONodric> lotus: i tried, well not pepper-flash. but "real" flash.
[16:47] <bosi> hello everyone. I have a Dell Latitude E6530 and for some reason my wi-fi disconnects every once in a while. It works fine for a couple of hours, then it disconnects and it doesn't recognize the network. I can turn the network on and off and it won't recognize the network, only if I restart the PC that will connect again. Any ideas?
[16:47] <WatchHBONodric> lotus: firefox lags alot.
[16:48] <bosi> I use Ubuntu 14.04.
[16:48] <lotuspsychje> WatchHBONodric: adobe flash is pretty dead on linux
[16:48] <WatchHBONodric> lotus: yeah i know, but i found a ubuntu page that suggested trying it, so i did. :d
[16:50] <WatchHBONodric> lotuspsychje: just installed chrmium and pepper-flash, black screen still
[16:51] <lotuspsychje> WatchHBONodric: maybe the site uses old stuff perhaps?
[16:52] <WatchHBONodric> lotuspsychje: hbo? uses flash for what i can see. now it says i need flash to watch
[16:55] <lotuspsychje> WatchHBONodric: if other flash items load in your browsers,..must be the website
[16:55] <WatchHBONodric> lotuspsychje: :lemme check youtube.
[16:55] <lotuspsychje> kk
[16:55] <WatchHBONodric> hmm.. youtube loads and plays instantly :/
[16:55] <lotuspsychje> WatchHBONodric: pm me that video link?
[16:56] <WatchHBONodric> lotuspsychje: : i only see https://se.hbonordic.com/player, must be ajax or iframe or something, doesnt expose the url
[16:56] <gartral> WatchHBONodric: probably because youtube uses html5 video, not flash
[16:56] <WatchHBONodric> oh yeah, gartral , good catch. lemme try find other video sources.
[16:57] <gartral> WatchHBONodric: try twitch.tv
[16:57] <WatchHBONodric> gartral: lotuspsychje: on twitch i get: black screen with text: "No supported video backend available; Flash is not installed".
[16:58] <WatchHBONodric> and i do not see pepper-flash in chromium plugins.
[16:58] <gartral> WatchHBONodric: weird... does normal chrome work ok? or are you desperately avoiding that binary blob?
[16:58] <MonkeyDust> https://www.twitch.tv/ works here, in FF
[16:58] <WatchHBONodric> gartral: Regular chrome also give black screen.
[16:58] <lotuspsychje> WatchHBONodric: did you install pepperflash seperatly?
[16:59] <WatchHBONodric> MonkeyDust: i am trying to use other browser than FF, since for me, FF lags like hell watching movies.
[16:59] <WatchHBONodric> lotuspsychje: yes, using this. erhm, guide. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/06/install-pepper-flash-chromium-ubuntu-14-04
[16:59] <gartral> WatchHBONodric: that's ancient...
[17:00] <WatchHBONodric> gartral: probably. but that wahts googuul tossed at me. :D
[17:00] <FCN> Hi
[17:00] <MonkeyDust> i watch series on tv, guess i'm old
[17:01] <lotuspsychje> gartral: pepperflashplugin-nonfree isnt ancient
[17:01] <WatchHBONodric> MonkeyDust: i dont even own a tv since like 2005. :D
[17:02] <WatchHBONodric> MonkeyDust: in Sweden, here is a $200 "tax" to own a tv-recievable apparatus. i dont like that (on top of tv fees you might have)
[17:03] <WatchHBONodric> i wounder if firefox, with a single tab open, will run better on hbo, than without my regular browsing added to it..
[17:03] <WatchHBONodric> i should try a new ff profile with regular ff closed and see if its better.
[17:03] <gartral> WatchHBONodric: prbably
[17:03] <arslan> .
[17:04] <WatchHBONodric> im gonna go test, with a brand new profile and see if its better, if then. i have a main browser change. back later to tell the story. :D
[17:04] <gartral> watch... nvm..
[17:06] <FCN> I am trying to learn how to access to an usb stick only using terminal commands but after google it lot of times and trying commands like:-) Fdisk -l
[17:06] <FCN> Dmesg | tail
[17:06] <FCN> lsusb  i can not find the stick address in the disk to use the cd command, can anyone help me please?
[17:06] <WatchHBONodric> well lo and behold. a new profile, smooth sailing
[17:06] <WatchHBONodric> on hbo.
[17:06] <WatchHBONodric> now to decide which will be my new main browser.
[17:07] <MonkeyDust> FCN  type   tail -f /var/log/syslog ... then plugin the usb ... do you see something change?
[17:07] <blubee> hi guys
[17:07] <lotuspsychje> blubee: welcome, how can we help you?
[17:07] <blubee> I added some repos from kxstudio and I am getting these warnings when running apt-get update: uses weak digest algorithm (SHA1)
[17:07] <WatchHBONodric> lotuspsychje: it seems a new profile and no other windows or tabs open, mages hbo nordic play just fine. :>~
[17:07] <lotuspsychje> !ppa | blubee
[17:08] <blubee> It's kxstudio repo but the guys over there said I should ask here
[17:08] <blubee> I understand that, I trust the developers it's kxstudio with linux audio software
[17:09] <lotuspsychje> blubee: contact the maintainer of kxstudio
[17:09] <WatchHBONodric> anyone know that chrome extentions like ghostery and uBlock origin will work nicely in chrmium?
[17:09] <blubee> lotuspsychje: okay, i'll try to find them
[17:09] <FCN> The usb is mounted and when i am not using the terminal i can transfer files perfectly, i just want to do it only with terminal commands
[17:10] <MonkeyDust> FCN  lsusb, what does it say
[17:11] <Guest18462> mount it using 'mount' then cp/mv etc files?
[17:12] <FCN> Bus 002 device... maybe im doing something wrong, because when i try to access that adress it says me its not a directory
[17:12] <MonkeyDust> FCN  yes, mount the device to a folder, then access the folder
[17:12] <FCN> Okay thank you
[17:16] <gartral> i'll brb
[17:30] <wad> Next week, I'm getting a new computer. I was going to install 14.04LTS on it, but it looks like 16.04LTS comes out in a few weeks, and there is a beta. Question: Is the beta available, could I just put it on, and then an update would bring it to the release version after it comes out?
[17:31] <baizon> wad: yes, yes, yes
[17:31] <wad> Well then: Booyaw!
[17:35] <wad> Hmm, just looking at (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/) and it says that the 32-bit image is what I should use on an Intel CPU. That seems wrong, though... I thought than an Intel i7 was a 64-bit architecture, so shouldn't I use the AMD64 image?
[17:36] <baizon> wad: yes you should
[17:38] <wad> baizon, thanks. The wording on that website is somewhat misleading. Seems like it would be clearer to say something about Intel CPUs in the AMD64 line.
[17:39] <baizon> wad: its not about the cpu, its about the technology. More here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64
[17:41] <wutf> i used mkfs.ext4 on /dev/sdb1 which is my thumbdrive, but it is still FAT32 /dev/sdb1          32 125031679 125031648 59.6G  c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
[17:41] <henjl> ahh it's a wonderful day :)
[17:41] <llutz> wutf: change the partition type to "linux 83"
[17:42] <wutf> llutz, which command line tool
[17:42] <llutz> wutf: fdisk, parted, cfdisk,
[17:42] <mattttttttb> wutf: Did you delete the original partition with fdisk first
[17:43] <wutf> i didn't
[17:43] <feneco> hi, after I installed nvidia drivers, I can't log in to desktop and ctrl+alt+f1 turns off the display
[17:44] <feneco> how can I get to the shell to uninstall nvidia drivers again?
[17:44] <lotuspsychje> feneco: ubuntu version? graphics card chipset? driver loaded?
[17:44] <baizon> feneco: change grub to boot into text mode then uninstall it
[17:45] <feneco> lotuspsychje: 14.04, it's a gtx 560, I don't remember the chipset, drivers are the 361 (open source)
[17:45] <mattttttttb> wutf: try doing that first, use d to delete the partition, then n to create a new one
[17:45] <feneco> gf110 I think
[17:45] <lotuspsychje> feneco: try what baizon suggest and go for the 352 perhaps or 352-updates
[17:46] <lotuspsychje> feneco: optimus card?
[17:46] <feneco> lotuspsychje: no, desktop
[17:46] <wutf> "Device does not contain  a recognized partition table"
[17:46] <Rhoarin> hello there, can i installa 32bit .sh driver on a 64bit machine? Ubuntu 15.10
[17:46] <_underrated> hi all, I cant set dpms disabled in a upstart script
[17:46] <feneco> baizon: how can I do that? I am on grub now
[17:47] <wutf> i guess that's because i did /dev/sdb1 instead of /dev/sdb
[17:47] <mattttttttb> yep
[17:48] <wutf> First sector (2048-125031679, default 2048)
[17:48] <wutf> set that to the larger number?
[17:48] <_underrated> DPMS enables itself after sometime
[17:48] <wutf> or the smaller
[17:48] <wutf> smaller i guess
[17:48] <baizon> feneco: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/01/boot-into-text-console-ubuntu-linux-14-04/
[17:48] <llutz> wutf: just use the defaults
[17:49] <llutz> wutf: a simple "t" "83" "w" would have done :)
[17:49] <wutf> ok, i used fdisk. then i ran mkfs.ext4 again and it says "Found a dos partition table in /dev/sdb Proceed Anyway?"
[17:49] <wutf> is that normal
[17:50] <llutz> wutf: you have to disconnect/reconnect the usb-drive, fdisk should have told you
[17:50] <feneco> now recovery is not working anymore
[17:51] <mattttttttb> wutf: yep
[17:51] <feneco> baizon: I can't get to ubuntu recovery, how can I edit this file?
[17:52] <wutf> llutz, i used your method this time but it's still saying it's a dos partition table
[17:52] <llutz> wutf: sure, its not gpt
[17:52] <wutf> what's that mean
[17:52] <llutz> wutf: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table
[17:54] <Linnak> Hi, It seems that gmnotify can't reach my gmail account
[17:55] <lotuspsychje> Linnak: you need to disable something in gmail settings
[17:56] <lotuspsychje> Linnak: something with 3rd party apps or so
[17:56] <lotuspsychje> Linnak: it blocks the attempt from gmnotify
[17:57] <WatchHBONordicAg> lotuspsychje: Gartral: Thanks you both. I have now switched my main browser to Chromium, added neccesary extentions like uBlock origin. chromium sucked most of my settings in from FF. i created a new profile, and using FF as a solo HBO watching browser. it all seems to work great so far. :>
[17:57] <lotuspsychje> !yay | WatchHBONordicAg
[17:58] <Linnak> I can't find third party app settings in gmail
[17:58] <WatchHBONordicAg> lotuspsychje: if i ever could.. i would give you a great fresh serving of popcorn i seem to be a master of making.. :> "You have to taste it to know its great" kind of popcorn :>
[17:58] <lotuspsychje> Linnak: or google account settings or so?
[17:59] <lotuspsychje> !cookie > WatchHBONordicAg
[17:59] <Linnak> The only thing I can enable is po3 or imap, Both are enabled
[17:59] <lotuspsychje> Linnak: no its something in google settings
[17:59] <Linnak> pop3
[17:59] <lotuspsychje> Linnak: its a setting, other apps that try to contact your gmail
[18:01] <feneco> now it worked
[18:01] <feneco> but my mouse didnt
[18:01] <lotuspsychje> feneco: wich driver are you on now?
[18:01] <WatchHBONordicAg> lotuspsychje: Please have an awesome weekend followed by an even greater week. Thanks for the superb help :>
[18:01] <feneco> lotuspsychje: 361
[18:02] <feneco> could get to tty1 now
[18:02] <lotuspsychje> WatchHBONordicAg: for you aswell
[18:02] <feneco> now it froze D:
[18:03] <wutf> now when i mount this drive, i have to remount as rw, and i still can't execute files on it
[18:03] <MonkeyDust> !cookie | lotuspsychje
[18:03] <tty1> feneco: i look forward to seeing you soon!
[18:03] <lotuspsychje> :p
[18:03] <wutf> ah, exec
[18:04] <feneco> when it works the driver perform far better than nouveau
[18:04] <lotuspsychje> Linnak: google account/security/connectedapps
[18:04] <lotuspsychje> Linnak: enable apps with lower security
[18:05] <wutf> all seems to be working, thanks
[18:05] <Linnak> Yeah, I just deleted 10 apps which I didn't know about
[18:05] <wutf> kind of a pita:)
[18:05] <Linnak> It is enabled
[18:05] <lotuspsychje> Linnak: then gmnotify should work now
[18:06] <lotuspsychje> Linnak: your gmail should also give you warnings when apps trying to connect
[18:07] <feneco> what's the hotkey to logout or change user?
[18:07] <lotuspsychje> !hotkeys | feneco
[18:07] <Linnak> lotuspsychje, Yes it checked and green now :) but it needs another keyring password which is not my gmail passwork neither my own linux administrator password
[18:08] <wad> baizon: Yeah, the confusing part is that the name of the architecture (AMD64) includes the name of the competitor to Intel. So even if you have an intel CPU, not AMD, it's probably 64-bit, so you need to choose that AMD64 image.
[18:10] <feneco> :|
[18:10] <feneco> about to give up this ubuntu thing
[18:12] <lotuspsychje> feneco: dont panic on ubuntu, you will learn alot :p
[18:12] <Linnak> feneco, http://askubuntu.com/questions/493016/is-it-possible-to-assign-a-shortcut-to-switch-account-in-the-login-screen-of-u
[18:12] <feneco> now I could log in to terminal
[18:12] <wad> feneco, there are two places where keys are assigned.
[18:13] <feneco> by pressing ctrl+alt+f1 many times before the login screen appears
[18:13] <feneco> purging nvidia drivers again
[18:13] <wad> Ah, you're in video driver hell. I hate that place. >_<
[18:13] <wad> Is it a new-ish video card?
[18:14] <feneco> no, old video card, a gtx 560
[18:14] <feneco> can't get it to work :(
[18:15] <feneco> at least the computer works with nouveau
[18:15] <wad> Oh, huh. I had trouble a while back with a system with a fancy-shmancy new video card. But all the problems just went away later on when I reinstalled.
[18:15] <feneco> but slow animations everywhere
[18:15] <wad> So I figured that there were some improvements to the drivers in that interval.
[18:15] <wad> Is this a new install on a desktop, or laptop, or what?
[18:16] <feneco> new install on desktop
[18:16]  * wad <----- too lazy to scroll up
[18:16] <wad> Is it a dual-boot?
[18:16] <feneco> yes, it's dual boot with windows 10
[18:16] <feneco> I thought that could maybe be a problem
[18:16] <feneco> maybe?
[18:16] <lotuspsychje> no
[18:16] <wad> Naw, unlikely.
[18:17] <wad> My primary home system is a desktop with dual boot.
[18:17] <lotuspsychje> feneco: how many ram on that system?
[18:17] <feneco> 10Gb
[18:17] <lotuspsychje> unity should run fine on that
[18:17] <wad> Did you install via USB thumb drive?
[18:18] <lotuspsychje> feneco: did you try all drivers from your list?
[18:18] <lotuspsychje> feneco: including all the -updates ones?
[18:18] <feneco> lotuspsychje: it's significant the difference between nouveau and nvidia drivers, when I logged in with guest user, I could use unity for some seconds before it freezes
[18:18] <feneco> wad: yes
[18:19] <feneco> lotuspsychje: I installed most of them
[18:19] <lotuspsychje> feneco: file a new bug against it then
[18:20] <feneco> lotuspsychje: how can I file a new bug?
[18:20] <lotuspsychje> !bug | feneco
[18:20] <lotuspsychje> feneco: didnt you try 16.04 on that same system this week?
[18:20] <MrPunkin> I’m looking for a simple ubuntu command line IPSEC EPS tunnel client that I can use to test our VPN from a remote server we have. Does something like this exist, or will I need to manually configure ipsec-tools / racoon to do this?
[18:21] <feneco> lotuspsychje: no, I still didn't try 16.04
[18:21] <lotuspsychje> feneco: ok, thats another test you could do perhaps
[18:21] <lotuspsychje> feneco: and file the bug against 14.04 already
[18:22] <lotuspsychje> feneco: mentioning you tested all possible drivers, attach syslog,dmesg,xorg etc
[18:22] <feneco> lotuspsychje: the ones I tried http://i.imgur.com/hT2FYWB.png
[18:23] <lotuspsychje> feneco: are you using ppa for drivers also?
[18:24] <feneco> lotuspsychje: yes, after I tried all drivers that came with ubuntu 14.04, I added the ppa from repo to try the 361
[18:24] <feneco> as you can see, didn't help
[18:25] <lotuspsychje> feneco: system also up do date to latest 14.04.4?
[18:26] <anticore> hi, wondering if anyone can give me some help. I'm trying to get my sd card reader to work, and i've found this workaround for getting a driver from another reader to work on this one https://askubuntu.com/questions/492476/internal-sd-card-reader-not-mounted-detected-hp-realtek-rts5227

[18:28] <MonkeyDust> feneco  i mean, don't give up too soon
[18:28] <feneco> MonkeyDust: on this desktop, two days
[18:28] <feneco> two or three days
[18:28] <lotuspsychje> feneco: ok good, try perhaps the rest of your drivers list, after that file the bug
[18:29] <lotuspsychje> feneco: or 16.04 test + internet enabled + updates enabled during setup
[18:30] <BluesKaj> feneco, was just reading this, it recommends the  358.16 driver for your gpu, http://www.ubuntumaniac.com/2015/11/install-nvidia-linux-display-driver_22.html
[18:31] <topcrew> #/list
[18:32] <feneco> I tried 6 different drivers already
[18:32] <lotuspsychje> feneco: best driver for your system, is the one working best
[18:32] <lotuspsychje> feneco: bit searching sometimes
[18:33] <BluesKaj> feneco, easy enough to install, sudo apt install nvidia-358
[18:33] <feneco> I will try now
[18:33] <lotuspsychje> BluesKaj: nice find, worth a try also
[18:34] <feneco> I'm afraid of breaking the system and not be able to restore it
[18:34] <lotuspsychje> !recovery | feneco when things go bad/black
[18:34] <MonkeyDust> feneco  backup first
[18:34] <feneco> lotuspsychje: last time even recovery didn't work
[18:35] <feneco> MonkeyDust: I'm doing it right now
[18:35] <lotuspsychje> anticore: 15.10?
[18:35] <anticore> lotuspsychje: yes
[18:35] <feneco> won't worth using ubuntu without using the power of th egpuu
[18:35] <lotuspsychje> anticore: tried that hardware on other ubuntu versions? like lts version?
[18:36] <anticore> lotuspsychje: 15.04 it didn't work either
[18:36] <anticore> it works on windows though (dual boot)
[18:36] <lotuspsychje> anticore: checked realteks site for latest drivers?
[18:37] <lotuspsychje> anticore: could try 14.04/16.04 also perhaps, maybe kernels like it better?
[18:37] <anticore> lotuspsychje: they don't have linux drivers for this particular device, they have it for a similar one and those are the ones i was trying to build
[18:37] <anticore> but make is not collaborating
[18:38] <lotuspsychje> anticore: dont think similar will work, needs to be specific chipset
[18:38] <anticore> hm, askubuntu discussions indicate that it works
[18:38] <lotuspsychje> anticore: can you fire up a liveusb perhaps and test there?
[18:38] <anticore> hm sure, need to set it up
[18:38] <anticore> what version do you recommend?
[18:39] <lotuspsychje> anticore: 14.04 or 16.04 with newer kernel
[18:39] <lotuspsychje> anticore: and check syslog on the liveusb to see if it gets recongized
[18:39] <kurt_> Hi, I have a problem with UFW firewall in Ubuntu was wondering if anyone can help me
[18:40] <lotuspsychje> kurt_: you can ask your specific isue to the channel mate, other might be able to help
[18:41] <teward> !crosspost | kurt_
[18:41] <kurt_> When I open UFW, it is turned off by default. I turn it on, issue is I can't add any rules it throws some error at me like this in the log: Error running: /usr/sbin/ufw allow in proto udp from any to any port 6881:6891 > WARN: uid is 0 but 'lib' is owned by 1000 | WARN: /lib is group writable! and when I go back to my UFW later it is turned off again :/ any idea why this is? ;/
[18:43] <nacc> kurt_: why is your /lib group writable?
[18:48] <teward> nacc: what's the default perms on /lib/ typically?
[18:48] <teward> root:root?
[18:48] <pingwindyktator> hello. how to ensure that my app is running all the time (after crash - it will re-run, after osstart, it will start)? I tried systemd service, but ive got sigfault all the time and anyone can help me
[18:51] <reductio> Hello! Does anyone here have experience with recordmydesktop? I can't get it to record my audio output :( I've tried changing every setting on alsamixer and kmix, with no success...
[18:51] <BluesKaj> pingwindyktator, use sudo systemctl start appname , if your OS uses syatemd
[18:51] <nacc> teward: yeah, it shouldn't matter, you're right; but it's not the default (at least looking at my system and a fresh lxc)
[18:51] <teward> nacc: well, they're using the rpi MATE image
[18:51] <pingwindyktator> BluesKaj, http://pastebin.com/XUQty3WT
[18:51] <nacc> teward: ah
[18:51] <teward> nacc: its on my list to download the image, write it to an sd card, and examine
[18:51] <teward> (at least right now)
[18:51] <teward> nacc: they first were in #ubuntu-mate ;)
[18:51] <teward> hence the crosspost bot notice
[18:52] <nacc> teward: ah :)
[18:54] <teward> nacc: mind if I bug you in PM?
[18:54] <nacc> teward: go for it
[18:54] <anticore> lotuspsychje: doesnt work on 14.04
[18:54] <BluesKaj> pingwindyktator, I have no knowledge about Virtual Distributed Ethernet  :/
[18:55] <anticore> to anyone reading, can you check out my question and see if you can help me in any way? https://askubuntu.com/questions/752791/realtek-rts5227-card-reader-problems
[18:56] <inifaisal> hello?
[18:57] <MonkeyDust> inifaisal  it works, we see you
[18:57] <pingwindyktator> BluesKaj, it's just a desciption
[18:57] <pingwindyktator> BluesKaj, it has nothing to do with VDE
[19:00] <Hrouthulf> Hi, everyone. I have a process here named jbd2 making writes all the time on Ubuntu, making the system perform poorly. The led of disk activity never turns off. Has anyone here faced that? According to iotop, jbd2 is responsible for over 60% of the activities related to IO
[19:02] <lotuspsychje> anticore: could this help? https://balintbanyasz.wordpress.com/2015/09/06/realtek-rts5227-driver-for-ubuntu-14-04/
[19:02] <g0th> hi
[19:02] <anticore> lotuspsychje: i'll give it a go
[19:02] <g0th> when I do "dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -nc" I get: "dpkg-genchanges: error: cannot read ../libtorrent-rasterbar_1.0.6-2ubuntu1.dsc: No such file or directory
[19:02] <g0th> any ideas?
[19:04] <Hrouthulf> It is very bizarre, it's also making my PC run hot.
[19:04] <anticore> lotuspsychje: nope, get the same errors
[19:05] <lotuspsychje> anticore: not sure then sorry, perhaps a 16.04 or file a new bug
[19:05] <lotuspsychje> !bug | anticore
[19:05] <anticore> okay, thanks anyway
[19:11] <Inifaisal> is ubuntu 16.04 not support for amd users
[19:11] <Inifaisal> ?
[19:11] <lotuspsychje> Inifaisal: #ubuntu+1 for 16.04 please
[19:12] <Inifaisal> oke
[19:13] <MonkeyDust> Hrouthulf  jbd is journalling block device... according to this, it was a bug in 12.04 Precise, kernel 3.2 ... what release are you on ... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1507658
[19:15] <Hrouthulf> MonkeyDust, Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS ( kernel 3.13.0-32-generic)
[19:15] <hakkeri> hello
[19:15] <phaidros> my gpg keys and ssh keys are not unlocked automatically anymore when login, how can I re-enable that?
[19:15] <hakkeri> i have a problem :) i need to adjust xfce icon/grid size to desktop
[19:15] <MonkeyDust> Hrouthulf  start with an upgrade to 14.04.4
[19:16] <hakkeri> i have large icons and i want to set small spacing...so it can fit "everywhere" on screen
[19:17] <trism> g0th: how did you get the package? when you grab the package from a site you need the .dsc and the two tar files, then you unpack it with: dpkg-source -x filename.dsc
[19:17] <trism> g0th: or easier if you are on the version that has the package: apt-get source package_name;
[19:18] <Jacq> Hey guys! New to the Ubuntu community. Is anyone here familiar with ndiswrapper? Im having serious difficulty trying to install it for my network adapter.
[19:19] <armalcolite> hello.
[19:19] <jelly> g0th: if you're building on ubuntu, ask in here (or the generic ##linux), not #debian
[19:19] <armalcolite> i need to ask some question regarding login authentication in ubunut. is this the correct place?
[19:19] <g0th> eh jelly
[19:19] <g0th> trism: ah, so this could be an issue if my package was out of date?
[19:20] <jelly> how did you get the source in the first place?
[19:21] <g0th> I forgot to be honest, probably by dpkg-source
[19:21] <tulips_> ok... i installed the kernel crash dump tool and i dont know if the kernel crashed or if the xserver keeps locking up
[19:21] <armalcolite> i have some idea of dynamic authentication and want to verify if its possible.
[19:21] <g0th> oeh apt-get source
[19:21] <tulips_> i installed the intel graphics drivers
[19:21] <jelly> g0th: apt-get source would grab the .dsc as well
[19:21] <tulips_> running ubuntu 15.10
[19:21] <tulips_> now i need to figure out how to print out the kernel crash dump... so someone can look at it (assuming the kernel is crashing)
[19:21] <i3o6> ok, stupid question time: whats the non-gui mode called? is it still ubuntu or is it shell/bash or what?
[19:22] <MonkeyDust> i3o6  cli
[19:22] <g0th> jelly: but it doesn't grab the file that's missing
[19:22] <jelly> g0th: did you patch, add a changelog entry and bumped the version yourself, or did debian/changelog already have 1.0.6-2ubuntu1 on top?
[19:22] <g0th> oh
[19:22] <g0th> I modified debian/changelog
[19:23] <g0th> maybe because of that?
[19:23] <jelly> yes.
[19:23] <g0th> it worked once
[19:23] <g0th> strange that it doesn't work now
[19:23] <jelly> why are you using -nc?
[19:23] <g0th> I got that from some website
[19:24] <g0th> do not clean source tree hmm
[19:24] <g0th> I made modifications
[19:24] <g0th> so don't I revert them if I do that?
[19:24] <jelly> nope
[19:25] <g0th> hmm now nothing works
[19:25] <g0th> maybe I should remove all and use apt-get source again
[19:25] <tulips_> ugh... i dont know how to use kdump... can someone help?
[19:25] <jelly> well, if you made changes to the source, those changes should be in form of a patch in debian/patches/
[19:25] <g0th> it's just for myself
[19:25] <jelly> g0th: that sounds sane.  And if your goal is just to build some binary .deb packages, add -b to dpkg-buildpackage options
[19:25] <luk22> Hello, could someone help me with a sound problem I have?
[19:26] <lotuspsychje> !sound | luk22
[19:27] <g0th> jelly: ok thanks for the help
[19:27] <g0th> jelly: the changelog was the specific answer to my initial problem
[19:27] <g0th> jelly: but now I'm redoing everything again anyway
[19:28] <tulips_> ok... i ruled out the kernel... its the xserver
[19:29] <tulips_> i had a fresh install of ubuntu lts and 15.10 and both have had xserver lockups... i have an acer 5749 .., so intel graphics... and recently was recommended to use the intel downloads for drivers
[19:29] <tulips_> but im still locking up...
[19:29] <django_> laptop is @ 77C is that bad?
[19:29] <g0th> jelly: how do I adjust the changelog?
[19:29] <g0th> I did that once, I forgot the name
[19:30] <jelly> g0th: dch, or an editor :)
[19:31] <g0th> sigh, is there no simple example line
[19:31] <g0th> that seems like a really complicated tool for such a simple task
[19:32] <g0th> I assume just dch "Changetext"
[19:33] <jelly> you can merely "dch" and edit away
[19:34] <g0th> it again uses the wrong name
[19:34] <g0th> sigh ^^
[19:36] <g0th> well see if it works in the end (now it's building)
[19:36] <g0th> oh and I created a patch :)
[19:46] <django_> which driver should I use: http://i.imgur.com/YR2Ufqz.png
[19:47] <django_> laptop is currently 58C and im only running Chrome
[19:47] <MonkeyDust> i3o6  keep it in the channel
[19:48] <cli-rookie> Is Perl automatically included in Ubuntu 14.04? I'm running a VPS with that OS.
[19:50] <ferendevelop> cli-rookie: yes. ubuntu 14.04.3 include perl
[19:50] <ferendevelop> cli-rookie: refer this link : refer this link : http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/ubuntu-14.04.4-desktop-amd64.manifest
[19:50] <luk22> I am trying to edit /etc/pulse/default.pa, but I can't. How do I get permission?
[19:51] <MonkeyDust> luk22  sudo -e
[19:51] <teo_> Hi
[19:51] <Tk55> But be careful with sudo ;)
[19:51] <cli-rookie> Ok, thanks
[19:52] <teo_> 1] why marco (software compositor) dont start shadows under panels in mate when I choise it? Always after restart session I must restart marco
[19:53] <luk22> Thanks @Monkeydust
[19:54] <teo_> 2] I dont know but cant see menu when I set right mouse clic on desktop in mate... eliers I had menu under right mouse button for example to change wallpaper
[19:56] <ferendevelop> teo_: in dconf editor, org - mate - desktop - background - enable show desktop icons
[19:57] <django_> tu
[19:58] <django_> anyone know how do i chose which graphics card driver to use?
[19:58] <teo_> ferendevelop, thx :)
[19:59] <onlyonemac> i connect to a bluetooth device with `sudo rfcomm release hci0 00:xx:53:xx:11:xx`
[19:59] <onlyonemac> i have written a program that reads and writes data from the device file /dev/rfcomm0
[19:59] <onlyonemac> the permissions on /dev/rfcomm0 are crw-rw---- root dialout
[19:59] <onlyonemac> i am in the dialout group
[20:00] <onlyonemac> the program can read and write data to and from the device file
[20:00] <i3o6> If I've got cli problems, will "debian" sufficiently describe my OS?
[20:00] <onlyonemac> but it cannot tcsetattr correctly (to enable blocking reads) if i don't run the program as root?
[20:00] <onlyonemac> i3o6: probably
[20:00] <onlyonemac> i3o6: unless your problem is with an ubuntu-specific cli tool
[20:01] <i3o6> is there any commonly used ubuntu tools that I might be using and having problems with?
[20:01] <onlyonemac> i3o6: what is the problem?
[20:02] <k1l> i3o6: "lsb_release -d"   what is the output?
[20:02] <i3o6> basicly I want to put a picture on my screen.
[20:03] <onlyonemac> i3o6: that is not ubuntu-specific, no
[20:03] <i3o6> Ubuntu 15.10
[20:03] <onlyonemac> i3o6: hint - look into "framebuffer console"
[20:03] <FuzzySockets> Hey folks, I'm a bit stumped... I'm trying to get ssh working between my amazon box and github but I keep getting Permission denied (public key).  I've added the key to my .ssh folder, made sure the .ssh folder and key have the appropriate permissions 700/600, respectively. ssh-add the key, to which it said "Identity added"  I'm pretty stumped!
[20:03] <k1l> i3o6: so what do you want to  do now exactly?
[20:04] <django_> FuzzySockets, you follow the steps on github?
[20:04] <onlyonemac> FuzzySockets: have you added the key on github?
[20:04] <onlyonemac> FuzzySockets: "Permission denied (public key)" is generated by the server that you are trying to authenticate with and means that it is rejecting your key
[20:05] <FuzzySockets> I'm reusing a key that already exists on github
[20:05] <FuzzySockets> mind you, this is just for testing purposes... I know that isn't typically best practice
[20:05] <onlyonemac> FuzzySockets: have you got more than one key in ~/.ssh? if so, are you definitely using the right key?
[20:06] <django_> laptop: lenovo y470, ubuntu:14.04, graphics card: GeForce GT 550M
[20:06] <onlyonemac> FuzzySockets: (there was a command somewhere to configure ssh to use a specific key for a specific host, but i can't remember what it was)
[20:06] <mattttttttb> FuzzySockets: Just try sshing to git@github.com
[20:06] <django_> my laptop still gets hot
[20:06] <i3o6> k1l: I want a picture on xycoordinate with width and height.
[20:06] <django_> when i dont run stuff
[20:06] <django_> and im sure it has to do with graphics card
[20:06] <django_> can someone please help
[20:07] <onlyonemac> django_: if you are running a compositing window manager, which ubuntu does by default, then your graphics card will always be in use and this may cause your laptop to get hot
[20:07] <FuzzySockets> mattttttttb: "ssh git@github.com" Permission denied (public key) --- I'm just going to generate a fresh key from scratch following the guide.  Is there a way to make sure my ssh-keys are cleared out of ssh-agent, I remember there being a conflict with a loaded key in the past.
[20:07] <django_> onlyonemac, what does that mean?
[20:07] <onlyonemac> FuzzySockets: log out and in again, is the simplest
[20:07] <k1l> i3o6: what use case? what desktop is running?  just showing it once? like a screensaver?
[20:07] <django_> onlyonemac, actually im running xubuntu
[20:07] <onlyonemac> FuzzySockets: otherwise "man ssh-add" - i think there's an option to remove a key
[20:08] <django_> onlyonemac, i installed ubuntu 14.04 then went to xubuntu
[20:08] <onlyonemac> django_: then it probably isn't your graphics card
[20:08] <FuzzySockets> onlyonemac: teach a man to fish... :) thanks
[20:08] <onlyonemac> django_: how hold is your laptop? maybe the fan is wearing out?
[20:08] <Guest_98765> http://cur.lv/wo54f
[20:08] <django_> onlyonemac, its a couple of years old lol
[20:08] <django_> shit could it be the fan :/
[20:08] <onlyonemac> django_: i once had a laptop getting hot because the fan was full of dust and wasn't turning properly; i had to take the laptop apart and clean it out (not for the feint of heart...)
[20:09] <mattttttttb> FuzzySockets: If you try using ssh-ing again with the -i <private key> flag, does it work?
[20:09] <FuzzySockets> onlyonemac mattttttttb : would you recommend generating the key as the root or ubuntu user?
[20:09] <onlyonemac> FuzzySockets: as the user you are going to use it as
[20:10] <onlyonemac> FuzzySockets: that way, the key will be stored in the proper place automatically and there aren't going to be any confusing issues with file permissions and configuration
[20:10] <Mathisen> is it only me that get " No matching rule " when trying to download utorrent server >> http://www.utorrent.com/intl/en/downloads/linux
[20:10] <FuzzySockets> herein lies my problem I think
[20:10] <Mathisen> can anyone check pls
[20:10] <i3o6> k1l: I want to preview thumbnails.
[20:10] <FuzzySockets> I was sudoing my command to github, and the key I had used was in ubuntu/.ssh
[20:11] <onlyonemac> FuzzySockets: there's no need to run ssh as root
[20:11] <mattttttttb> FuzzySockets: try without sudo
[20:11] <onlyonemac> FuzzySockets: but that will fail because sudo doesn't preserve the $SSH_AGENT_PID and $SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variables needed for ssh to find the ssh-agent to which you added the key with ssh-add
[20:12] <FuzzySockets> onlyonemac: when it's added to root?
[20:12] <onlyonemac> oh, looks like sudo *does* preserve environment variables; thought it didn't for security reasons
[20:13] <onlyonemac> in that case, not sure why it isn't working
[20:13] <onlyonemac> but still no reason to run ssh as root
[20:13] <mattttttttb> FuzzySockets: What did you get using ssh with a specific identity?
[20:14] <i3o6> k1l: I'm running a poor excuse of a media server. I download search results from youtube and I want to display some kind of preview of the results. i feel like that should be no problem, but I might be terribly wrong?
[20:14] <onlyonemac> FuzzySockets: i think you're supposed to use your github username by the way, not git@github.com
[20:15] <mattttttttb> nope use git
[20:15] <onlyonemac> FuzzySockets: otherwise github doesn't know what user you're trying to authenticate as
[20:15] <onlyonemac> oh yes it is git@github.com - weirdly enough
[20:16] <onlyonemac> https://help.github.com/articles/error-permission-denied-publickey/
[20:16] <onlyonemac> "You should not be using the sudo command with Git. If you have a very good reason you must use sudo, then ensure you are using it with every command (it's probably just better to use su to get a shell as root at that point). If you generate SSH keys without sudo and then try to use a command like sudo git push, you won't be using the same keys that you generated."
[20:20] <i3o6> onlyonemac: thanks, I'm on it.
[20:20] <k1l> i3o6: that sounds like a lot of work. maybe look at edisplay or such
[20:21] <FuzzySockets> did he just leave the channel?
[20:21] <FuzzySockets> yerp, looks like he did
[20:22] <akik> there's env_keep in sudoers where you can tell which variables you want to keep
[20:24] <FuzzySockets> So I don't have permission to git fetch with my user... what is the best practice for this.  Instead of doing it all with sudo, presume creating a group specific to this would be the wisest?
[20:26] <mattttttttb> FuzzySockets: You can't execute git at all?
[20:26] <Guest93666> hi, does anybody can help me configurati
[20:26] <FuzzySockets> mattttttttb: yes, it's just the .git directory with bad permissions
[20:26] <Guest93666> configurating my soundcard, this is my first try on freeworld :(
[20:27] <Guest93666> i have no sound getting out from ardour or Qtractor and i
[20:27] <OsakaFoo> FuzzySockets: why not change the .git perms?
[20:27] <Guest93666> do not understand why
[20:28] <pjotr> anyone on raspberry pi?
[20:29] <mattttttttb> FuzzySockets: The fact that your using sudo shouldn't cause issues with git though
[20:29] <FuzzySockets> OsakaFoo: that's what I'm saying, but I'm thinking I'll give it group permissions and add myself to the group
[20:29] <FuzzySockets> mattttttttb: it does because I didn't add that key to root/.ssh
[20:30] <mattttttttb> FuzzySockets: You don't need to it will read from /home/.../.ssh
[20:30] <snfgf> If I add a MANDATORY_MANPATH /path/man to /etc/manpath.config, and $MANPATH isn't set,  and the description of MANDATORY_MANPATH is 'Lines of this form indicate manpaths that  every automatically generated $MANPATH should contain', why isn't /path/man appearing  when I run manpath?
[20:30] <FuzzySockets> mattttttttb: It was still saying public key denied with sudo.
[20:30] <mattttttttb> FuzzySockets: But it doesn't without?
[20:31] <FuzzySockets> mattttttttb: Without it's saying I can't read FETCH_HEAD from .git
[20:33] <OsakaFoo> FuzzySockets: I assume you are right and need to add roots SSH key to github
[20:34] <mattttttttb> It sounds like youve got a permissions issue with .git
[20:34] <OsakaFoo> And that
[20:34] <FuzzySockets> mattttttttb: that's most definitely what it is.  I'm creating a new group and adding my user (with the ssh key) to that group, and giving it sticky bit on this app folder.
[20:35] <ake_> anyone else having problems with repos (bad hash, se.archive.ubuntu.com)?
[20:37] <mattttttttb> FuzzySockets: Sorry, get it, sounds like a solution.
[20:37] <django_> onlyonemac here?
[20:38] <shaked> Does anyone have experience with GalliumOS for the chromebook
[20:38] <shaked> ?
[20:38] <FuzzySockets> mattttttttb: we shall see :)  takin a coffee break
[20:42] <mirko_> ciao a tutti
[20:43] <gAtheos> Quick question. I need to install Windows for some occasional work, but I want to dual boot Ubuntu. Which OS should I install first?
[20:43] <mirko_> ho installato ubuntu e windows 10 sullo stesso hd. Poso installare anche altre distro linux?
[20:48] <fii> Hey, is the scan from Berkeley's research program alright to allow? It says you can email to opt out, but I don't particularly care if it's for research purposes. However, it also says it tries to use "known hacks" under httpd log.
[20:49] <Bashing-om> Gathis: If you are handy with installing the boot code(s), does not matter, else install Windows 1st .

[20:50] <SchrodingersScat> how did he know?
[20:50] <Quatroking> i agree
[20:51] <Quatroking> i should be made grand network overlord
[20:51] <Seveas> I prefer the 'incompetent' freenode staff :)
[20:51] <Quatroking> you will be the first to join the digital gulag, traitor!
[20:52] <snfgf> How do I change the order of elements of my manpath in manpath.config?
[20:52] <Morgak> Apache question: I'm looking for some direction. I have a local linux webserver at 192.168.1.15 (example IP) and I would like to have people type in "GreenHouse" or something of that nature to take them to 192.168.1.15/plants.
[20:52] <Morgak> The plants page is already created.
[20:53] <EriC^^> Morgak: create a "site" in /etc/apache2/sites-available
[20:53] <EriC^^> cp the 000-default.conf greenhouse.conf and modify it
[20:55] <EriC^^> Morgak: i think that'll only allow you to do greenhouse.host though .. not really sure
[20:56] <fii> morgak: do you mean you already have the ip/plants up, and you want people to be able to type "greenhouse" into their address bar and go there?
[20:57] <Morgak> @fii yes, just on my local network though.
[20:58] <fii> Morgak: how large is your network?
[20:58] <Morgak> 30 users.
[20:59] <Morgak> @fii I would rather them not have to get to it via ip address.
[20:59] <snfgf> Hmm, changing order of manpath elements in manpath.config, anyone?
[20:59] <shaked> quit
[21:00] <fii> Morgak: I'm a newb, but I imagine you could host a local DNS, or modify your router's if it has one. However, if they're using a standard browser to access the page, you might run into the problem where typing in just a 'keyword' like greenhouse will automatically search for the term
[21:00] <fii> like if I type it into firefox it just googles "greenhouse"
[21:01] <Zephy> Cheers. I'm hearing some strange crackling sound from my Ubuntu laptop when on the login screen. I've tried googling for solutions, but I wasn't succesful. It has an snd-hda-intel sound module loaded.
[21:01] <Morgak> @fii Maybe set it to //GreenHouse?
[21:01] <annaaaaa> hi
[21:02] <Zephy> People have supposed, that it is related to the power saving mode
[21:02] <Morgak> annaaaaa: Hi
[21:02] <Zephy> If somebody has had similar issues, pls halp!
[21:02] <p0pp3t>  /SET term_force_colors ON
[21:02] <p0pp3t> Yeah, sorry about that.
[21:02] <Morgak> fii: I will try a DNS redirect.
[21:03] <Morgak> fii: Thank you for the help.
[21:03] <annaaaaa> is it possible to send files thru this?
[21:03] <Zephy> yes it is annaaaaa
[21:03] <fii> Morgak: I'm afraid I don't know enough about DNS redirect. Depending how competent your users are, chrome and firefox both let you associate a keyword with a bookmark, so that if they typed "greenhouse" into the address bar it would take them to ip/plants
[21:03] <annaaaaa> what's the command?
[21:04] <Zephy> google for irc xdcc
[21:04] <MonkeyDust> annaaaaa  this is ubuntu support, what do you want to do
[21:04] <EriC^^> annaaaaa: /dcc help
[21:04] <annaaaaa> sorry for that
[21:04] <annaaaaa> may i ask you something about ubuntu^
[21:05] <annaaaaa> i have troubles shuting down my pc
[21:05] <annaaaaa> and rebooting
[21:05] <annaaaaa> i always need to force it with power button
[21:05] <MonkeyDust> annaaaaa  what happens when you try, in which ubuntu version
[21:05] <Revian1> annaaaaa: Do you have Plank installed?
[21:05] <annaaaaa> 15.10
[21:06] <annaaaaa> i tryed to change grub
[21:06] <annaaaaa> the acpi settings... but.. nothing
[21:06] <annaaaaa> i have also debian installed.. but same problem when i boot in debian
[21:06] <annaaaaa> any idea?
[21:06] <EriC^^> annaaaaa: does sudo poweroff work?
[21:07] <annaaaaa> nope
[21:07] <annaaaaa> neither shutdown now
[21:07] <ake_> playing around with apt repos.. seems apt (the cli) is broken now with dbus errors. aptitude works fine
[21:07] <MonkeyDust> annaaaaa  sudo init 6
[21:07] <annaaaaa> i mean it is actually shutting down
[21:07] <annaaaaa> but the screen doesnt switch off
[21:08] <annaaaaa> and if i put the laptop in stand by (hybernate) then i can not wak it up
[21:08] <annaaaaa> it's stuck
[21:08] <annaaaaa> dont know what is Plank Revian
[21:08] <Revian1> ok
[21:09] <DiamondSword> hello .. I've found a clean script on internet. it says >> https://gist.github.com/anonymous/11382f317fe5b9f8a156a32d856f9da4 but I wonder what -f means and what -y means.. what should I do for a full clean-up on ubuntu ?
[21:09] <annaaaaa> any idea to help me?
[21:09] <DiamondSword> EriC^^, are you there? :)
[21:10] <annaaaaa> GRUB says GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
[21:10] <fii> Morgak: you could also check out avahi as an mDNS resolver, so they could type greenhouse.local
[21:11] <EriC^^> DiamondSword: yeah
[21:11] <annaaaaa> anybody have some idea to help me here^
[21:12] <DiamondSword> EriC^^, you know what ... I removed windows on SSD completely and made a fresh Ubuntu install on it. ha ha ha ha
[21:12] <EriC^^> DiamondSword: nice
[21:12] <fii> DiamondSword: you can use man pages if you dont know what an argument to a command means. type "man apt-get" in terminal.
[21:12] <DiamondSword> fii, ok I'll
[21:13] <annaaaaa> well ok
[21:14] <annaaaaa> quit
[21:15] <Promille> I wonder how accurate those download metrics at distrowatch.com is
[21:17] <DiamondSword> fii, man pages are helpful, thanks a lot
[21:20] <bekks> Promille: The are accurate. But they literally have nothing to do with a usage statistic. They only ,easure how often some entry was clicked, which is known to be done by bots, since decades.
[21:27] <FuzzySockets> mattttttttb: yep, that was the issue
[21:29] <Promille> bekks thanks for answer. I should learn to examine better. found this on their webpage: "The DistroWatch Page Hit Ranking statistics are a light-hearted way of measuring the popularity of Linux distributions and other free operating systems among the visitors of this website. They correlate neither to usage nor to quality and should not be used to measure the market share of distributions. They
[21:29] <Promille> simply show the number of times a distribution page on DistroWatch.com was accessed each day, nothing more."
[21:31] <paulbanks> does anyone know whats been going on with ubuntu desktop next ? wasnt ubuntu supposed to be moving to snappy ?
[21:34] <BenderRodriguez> ehem,
[21:35] <Pettis> please can anyone tell me how to get back to the 'select language' screen from BusyBox during Ubuntu Server (Trusty) install?  I entered the shell using Alt + F2 because I was trying to get it to install from USB as per http://askubuntu.com/a/130826
[21:36] <Pettis> I have tried Alt + F2 again to no avail
[21:40] <mattttttttb> FuzzySockets: Solid, glad its solved
[21:40] <nitegreen1> Would this be the most appropriate channel to get some help with a corrupt root filesystem (lvm), i am running Ubuntu 14.04
[21:41] <nitegreen1> Here is what I been able to pull from the system after booting from  a usb stick running 15.10 http://paste.ubuntu.com/15581544/
[21:46] <p0pp3t> It might be a typo but on line 133 isn't it suppose to be /dev/root_vg_/root ?
[21:49] <nitegreen1> yes that was a type, cut and past of the actual command
[21:49] <nitegreen1> typo
[21:54] <p0pp3t> Have you tried locating the other superblocks ? Or are they all corrupted?
[21:55] <sabotagebeats> is that april fool?
[21:55] <sabotagebeats> oh sorry wrong chan :)
[21:57] <xxxfkaccts> ubuntu can do a entire dist upgrade without reboot but we cannot do a partition resize if we have only 1 working, why?
[21:57] <bekks> xxxfkaccts: whats your actual issue? :)
[21:58] <xxxfkaccts> the tru question is want to be able to partition when I have just 1
[21:58] <yuuyhn> Hi
[21:58] <sabotagebeats> hi
[21:59] <bekks> xxxfkaccts: Use a live cd.
[21:59] <yuuyhn> I have my system setup so I can see all of the boot output, but the first part, what I believe to be initrd displaysgarbled
[21:59] <xxxfkaccts> i wondered create a memory disk and then somehow resize the disk
[21:59] <yuuyhn> inreaable charectors. After a few minutes the texrt gets reconfigured and is readble.
[21:59] <yuuyhn> why is this?
[21:59] <yuuyhn> then it displays the login prompt.
[22:00] <xxxfkaccts> beks: it is a vps, i cant use live disk
[22:01] <nitegreen1> dumpe2fs cannot read the "/dev/mapper/root_vg-root" lv so I cannot  the superblock information
[22:02] <xxxfkaccts> in a vps i dont have the option of live dvd
[22:03] <k1l> xxxfkaccts: most hosters offer a recovery boot
[22:03] <k1l> xxxfkaccts: but why do you want to resize in first place on a vps?
[22:03] <nitegreen1> ok the so lv name is different now that I boot from the usb stick with  a different version of ubuntu
[22:03] <nitegreen1> dumpe2fs -b -f -i -x /dev/root_vg/root
[22:03] <nitegreen1> dumpe2fs 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014)
[22:03] <nitegreen1> dumpe2fs: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/root_vg/root
[22:03] <nitegreen1> Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
[22:04] <xxxfkaccts> kll: the question is not recove but have a sepparte partition, backup o home for security motives
[22:04] <p0pp3t> Try running fsck on it
[22:04] <nitegreen1> I know there are suppose to be other superblocks but how do i find/read them?
[22:05] <bekks> xxxfkaccts: then how do you resize your partition, in a VPS? :)
[22:05] <bekks> xxxfkaccts: the disk size is given by the VPS hoster.
[22:05] <nitegreen1> dumpe2fs -b -f -i -x /dev/root_vg/root
[22:05] <nitegreen1> dumpe2fs 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014)
[22:05] <nitegreen1> dumpe2fs: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/root_vg/root
[22:05] <nitegreen1> Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
[22:05] <nitegreen1> oops ignore that
[22:05] <nitegreen1> e2fsck /dev/root_vg/root
[22:05] <nitegreen1> e2fsck 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014)
[22:05] <nitegreen1> e2fsck: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/root_vg/root
[22:05] <nitegreen1> Possibly non-existent device?
[22:05] <k1l> xxxfkaccts: ok, let me rephrase: good hosters offer a recovery to be able to resize.
[22:06] <k1l> xxxfkaccts: you cant resize the partitions while using them. so you need another boot that is not using that partitions.
[22:06] <xxxfkaccts> bekks: the host gives a virtual disk but perhaps i may create 2 partitions, or not?
[22:07] <k1l> xxxfkaccts: in fact: talk to the hoster.
[22:07] <bekks> xxxfkaccts: No. That will break your VPS, most likely. You need to talk to your hoster.
[22:07] <xxxfkaccts> i asked for it, but they got in trouble
[22:08] <bekks> Then you have to live with that.
[22:08] <xxxfkaccts> deny the possibility is always a first easier option
[22:10] <xxxfkaccts> tecnically if i could be able to reedirect all disk jobs to a ramdisk then i free the hd virtualized to partition
[22:12] <xxxfkaccts> can someone do a hotswap of hd to memory?
[22:13] <bekks> xxxfkaccts: No.
[22:13] <xxxfkaccts> :(
[22:18] <xxxfkaccts> ubuntu did a great job improving things ultimately. unfotunately i almost dont see mobiles with ubuntu
[22:18] <xxxfkaccts> i mean
[22:18] <xxxfkaccts> in brazil we actually have none mobiles with ubuntu,, very sad
[22:19] <lee_G750jm> i don't understand what this could mean "Could not parse desktop file livewallpaper-autostart.desktop or it references "and if someone could give me a little me insight.
[22:20] <owen> What's a good ipsec client for ubuntu 15.10. The vpn server is libreswan l2tp. The vpnc client for mac/windows connects on 'main' mode but vpnc is forcing 'aggressive' mode. Is it possible to turn off aggressive mode in vpnc? or is it possible to allow aggresive mode on my vpn server.

[22:25] <neyder_> hello everyone
[22:25] <woodsbw> Hello, I just installed the latest HWE kernel in my 14.04.4 install (linux-generic-lts-wily)...it looks like it installed correctly...but the box is still booting to 3.16.0-30-generic...and that is all I see grub entries for...should I have to manually edit grub after installing the 4.2 kernel?
[22:25] <owen> mattttttttb: why?
[22:26] <neyder_> I have an old upgraded installation of ubuntu, with home directory encrypted, how can I reinstall (clean install) and recover home directory?
[22:27] <cfhowlett> neyder_, select "something else" during installation, at partition, select your current /home as your new /home, do not format that /home
[22:27] <neyder_> cfhowlett, yeah i know
[22:27] <mattttttttb> owen: its pretty well integrated (e.g. with network-manager), it's in repos
[22:27] <cfhowlett> you will of course need the encryption passphrase
[22:28] <neyder_> but encryptino key ? ( i'll format / partition, /home is in another partition)
[22:28] <mattttttttb> woodsbw: Try running update-grub
[22:28] <lee_G750jm> i know this is a newbie question auto start files are located in the init.d

[22:29] <aruns> Hi.
[22:30] <aruns> Which IRC channel for Ubuntu is best for asking questions about problems with a specific application that I am running on Ubuntu? The application in question is AMPPS.
[22:30] <uio> What is your unrelated convo channel ?
[22:30] <Ben64> #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:30] <semitones> In ubuntu, is flash memory very different from an SSD, or are they the same? Thanks
[22:30] <cfhowlett> see the ampps help menu for support options
[22:30] <uio> Ben64: thanks
[22:31] <Ben64> semitones: what do you mean "in ubuntu"
[22:31] <mattttttttb> lee_G750jm: It depends on whether you're using SysVInit or SystemD. Which release are you using?
[22:31] <aruns> I am running AMPPS on Ubuntu.
[22:31] <neyder_> cfhowlett, ty igot my passphrase
[22:31] <aruns> My problem is that MySQL is not running.
[22:31] <aruns> I think I need to change a line in the config file.
[22:31] <semitones> Ben64, i'm just trying to stay on topic :p it's not really ubuntu related. You caught me!
[22:32] <hilx> aruns, #ubuntu-server might be your choice
[22:32] <xxxfkaccts> semitones: flashmem is too slow for anything
[22:32] <aruns> hilx: Ah OK, thanks.
[22:32] <semitones> xxxfkaccts, ah, alright. Thanks!
[22:32] <Ben64> semitones: ##hardware available
[22:32] <Ben64> semitones: is*
[22:33] <semitones> ben64 yeah, i know. They should have a ##hardware_for_noobs channel though; i never feel very welcome there. Thanks!!!
[22:35] <xxxfkaccts> once i tried to make a pendrive (flash) into an hd... it was stupid
