[00:18] <neldogz> Anyone notice case and CPU fans frequently spinning up and down with Ubuntu 15.10 and Skylake CPU's?
[00:20] <Vapez> Hello, is safe to apt-get autoremove 2.7GB with kernels?
[00:20] <Rochvellon> Yeah
[00:20] <Vapez> Rochvellon: http://pastebin.com/JX8Srvm7
[00:20] <Vapez> this is safe?
[00:21] <k1l_> Vapez: yes
[00:21] <Marezz> where is bashrc file located? i need to create an alias
[00:21] <k1l_> Vapez: just make sure  afterwards that "linux-generic" is still installed
[00:21] <k1l_> Marezz: its ".bashrc" and its in your users homw
[00:21] <k1l_> *home
[00:22] <Vapez> k1l_: i have linux-generic  3.13.0.83.89 amd64  , so i can safely make a auto-remove, right?
[00:23] <k1l_> Vapez: no i meant make sure the "linux-generic" package is installed afterwards.
[00:23] <Marezz> k1l_, i just checked it, its not there
[00:23] <k1l_> Vapez: removing old kernels is fine
[00:24] <Rochvellon> Vapez: you could aspell, dictionaries, hunspell and the other packages other than the kernel packages reinstall after the autoremove
[00:24] <k1l_> Marezz: then create one in the users home
[00:24] <Vapez> I should do this manual, or it's making automatic the change, Rochvellon?
[00:26] <Rochvellon> Vapez: you do it manually with "sudo apt-get install aspell aspell-en dictionaries-common enchant hunspell-en-us libaspell15
[00:26] <Rochvellon>   libenchant1c2a libhunspell-1.3-0"
[00:27] <an0o0nym> hello guys im having a problem. my unity doesnt load. i can see no dash no launcher. i tried everythin from lightdm restart through using compizconfig manager trying to enable unity plugin. but nothing seems to work. it does happen only on my root account, the other one is working fine. Can anyone please help me?
[00:27] <k1l_> Vapez: but you want to run "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" since there are a lot of non installed updates
[00:27] <Vapez> k1l_: now it's runing the apt-get upgrade
[00:27] <Vapez> but not with full option...
[00:27] <k1l_> Vapez: you need the full-upgrade to get new kernels etc.
[00:28] <Vapez> i am kind of paranoid because this is the production server, i still have snapshot just in case, but i want to be safe
[00:28] <Vapez> i will do "full-upgrade" after finishhing this operation
[00:28] <an0o0nym> sorry. i did not mentioned it ..im running Ubuntu 14.04
[00:34] <j09> Some of my games in Steam start with crackling distorted sounds, how would I go about fixing this?

[01:00] <devslash> My Ubuntu install won't boot. It just gets stuck at the purple screen without an error message. What's the best way to troubleshoot it ?
[01:03] <linocisco> hi all, i have downloaded videos and ripped videos on hard drive . I would like to know when they were originally shot or taken and by using which devices or something like that
[01:03] <Rhorse> does Ubuntu use GPT or LVM partitioning for 1 TB disks?
[01:05] <Bashing-om> an0o0nym: Have you rebooted to see the effect ?
[01:05] <gcl5cp> how do i upgrade a library from 14.04 to 15.04 or 15.10? just one.
[01:06] <an0o0nym> Bashing-om: no. I did not. doing it right now
[01:07] <an0o0nym> Bashing-om: still nothing.
[01:08] <Bashing-om> gcl5cp: Generally, do not . Fependeny issues with other libraries . do ' apt-cache depends <packag name> ; apt-cache rdepends <packagename> to see what all is effected .
[01:09] <Bashing-om> an0o0nym: A step deeper ' rm -rf ~/.gconf ~/.gconfd ~/.metacity ~/.compiz-1 ~/.config/compiz-1 ~/.config/dconf ' .
[01:10] <linocisco> hi all, i have downloaded videos and ripped videos on hard drive . I would like to know when they were originally shot or taken and by using which devices or something like that
[01:12] <gcl5cp> libfreerdp1 Depends on: libc6 libssl1.0.0 libx11-6 libxkbfile1. I guess i will get in trouble.
[01:13] <Bashing-om> glasnak: Uh HuH ! libc6 is at the heart of the operting system .
[01:15] <gcl5cp> Bashing-om: yes, is about Remmina lacking sound support.
[01:16] <an0o0nym> Bashing-om: that worked! dont know how to thank you. can you suppose what could cause such a problem? I did not do anything lately in my system what might have caused this problem.
[01:17] <Bashing-om> gcl5cp: That is out of me experience range , never used Remmina .
[01:18] <devslash2> My Ubuntu install won't boot. It just gets stuck at the purple screen without an error message. What's the best way to troubleshoot it ?
[01:18] <gcl5cp> well, thank Bashing-om
[01:18] <Bashing-om> an0o0nym: Great that it worked . Nope, no idea of what might have caused it .
[01:18] <Bashing-om> !sound | gcl5cp maybe, tried these :
[01:19] <an0o0nym> Bashing-om: ok, anyways. Thanks once again! You have a great evening
[01:20] <Bashing-om> an0o0nym: :) keep on keep'n on .
[01:21] <onnz423> heyy!
[01:22] <onnz423> Could anyone help me out?
[01:23] <onnz423> trying to burn iso to dvd but it does not allow me to do anything to the dvd, tried already with 2 different dvd's which are 100% working, but when trying to write, it does not write
[01:23] <Rhorse> Hi, what is the prevailing partitioning scheme that Ubuntu uses these days for 1 TB HDD's?
[01:23] <onnz423> and when trying to format it saays * 4.7GB DVD-RW media in Restricted Overwrite mode detected.
[01:23] <onnz423> * formatting 0.0\:-[ PERFORM OPC failed with SK=1h/ASC=00h/ACQ=03h]: Input/output error
[01:23] <onnz423> so is this some kind of permission issue or?
[01:24] <onnz423> tried already with brasero and k3b
[01:25] <onnz423> and i dont happen to have any 4gb usb sticks lying down eithr
[01:25] <onnz423> but i dont know if its possible to use android phone or external hard drive as bootable medium when trying to make it from windows  iso on ubuntu
[01:27] <Bashing-om> Rhorse: GPT partitioning is faster and the more robust ( got to have a noot partition ) .. but msdos (legacy) should work just fine .
[01:27] <Bashing-om> noot/boot*
[01:28] <onnz423> and im trying to even force format, its not allowing me to do anything to the dvd
[01:28] <onnz423> and the weird thing is that it shows 970MB for size of both disks, when in reality they are 4.7GB each
[01:30] <onnz423> aand it just spins around
[01:31] <Rhorse> Bashing-om: just wondering what the Ubuntu installer (from Live DVD) uses as default...
[01:32] <onnz423> Do you think that
[01:32] <Bashing-om> Rhorse: That would be legacy as ext4 for the file system unless this is UEFI ,, then it is GPT with ext4 .
[01:32] <Guest49082> why does linux suck?
[01:33] <onnz423> it could success if i tried to create bootable meduium from live cd
[01:33] <onnz423> i think
[01:33] <onnz423> doesnt hurt trying
[01:33] <Bashing-om> Guest49082: Does not for millions, what does that tell you ?
[01:34] <Guest49082> you know what bugs me?
[01:34] <Guest49082> every person i know tries to do stuff with their lives to make it better, simpler, easier
[01:35] <Guest49082> linux offers choices, but why still isn't a distro with just the right amount of everything?
[01:36] <kelvin> Guest49082: because what 'right amount' means different thing for different people
[01:36] <NetUser> how to remove UEFI on ubuntu ??
[01:36] <Guest49082> no. then i used a wrong word
[01:36] <Guest49082> minimal install with just a desktop enviroment and a store
[01:37] <Bashing-om> !minimal | Guest49082
[01:37] <onnz423> Looks promising via the live usb
[01:38] <\9> NetUser: uefi is something native to your computer firmware. you don't just remove it like that
[01:38] <Guest49082> installing software which is not on the store is a pain in linux. after all theese years
[01:38] <Glorfindel> I'm having some problems building some software
[01:38] <Glorfindel> "CMake Error at doc/CMakeLists.txt:73 (RST2HTML):
[01:38] <Glorfindel>   Unknown CMake command "RST2HTML".
[01:38] <Glorfindel> "
[01:38] <Glorfindel> woops
[01:39] <devslash> I need help i can't boot Ubuntu. It gets stuck  at a purple screen
[01:39] <Bashing-om> !nomodeset | devslash
[01:40] <Guest49082> i give up. after years of linux bullcrap, i give up.
[01:41] <devslash> Anyone?
[01:42] <Glorfindel> devslash: did you check out that ubottu message?
[01:42] <devslash> Which
[01:42] <Bashing-om> devslash: ^^ See the bot's advise, try it and advise us on the result .
[01:42] <kelvin> Guest49082: why is it a pain?
[01:42] <devslash> What advise
[01:43] <Glorfindel> devslash: send ubottu a message !nomodeset
[01:43] <devslash> Oh nomodeset i tried that
[01:43] <devslash> It doesn't make a difference
[01:43] <NetUser> UEFI can't be remove ?
[01:44] <devslash> Glorfindel i did that and it didnt help
[01:44] <Bashing-om> !UEFI | NetUser
[01:45] <devslash> Any help would be appreciated
[01:46] <Glorfindel> devslash: I'm here to get some help as well ;) sorry I can't help
[01:49] <Bashing-om> devslash: What release are you attempting to boot ? New install ? did you verify the download and the burn ?
[01:49] <onnz423> Yup
[01:49] <onnz423> This is really shitty situation
[01:50] <skinux> I want to install a python software that says to use setup.py, but I've been told many times before to never use setup.py
[01:50] <onnz423> Even  booting to
[01:50] <devslash> Bashing-om It worked previously but stopped
[01:50] <onnz423> Live usb tells me that my dvd is 2tb...
[01:50] <onnz423> On both dvd's
[01:50] <devslash> I think its version 14.10
[01:50] <onnz423> And im 100% sure that they are perfectly fine
[01:51] <onnz423> Too bad i gave my laptop to my grandma xD
[01:51] <devslash> Bashing-om what can i do?
[01:52] <Bashing-om> devslash: The release matters as the boot process is changed .. and IF 14.10 .. no support as it is End_Of_Life .
[01:53] <devslash> How so i check
[01:53] <devslash> I can get to a root shell prompt
[01:54] <NetUser> remove the windows EFI in ubuntu ?
[01:55] <Bashing-om> devslash: Got a liveDVD(USB) ? .. then mount the install's root and ' cat /mnt/etc/issue ' . That will tell .
[01:55] <devslash> No i dont have a live boot cd
[01:55] <Bashing-om> devslash: Root shell will do also . ' cat /etc/issue ' .
[01:56] <devslash> 15.04
[01:56] <Glorfindel> is there a better channel to ask building questions?
[01:57] <Bashing-om> !15.04 | devslash
[01:57] <devslash> It was working perfectly until one day when this started. That was sometime last year but i just installed windows on a different drive
[01:57] <devslash> Ok do now what
[01:57] <devslash> Im fucked because its EOL ?!
[01:58] <Bashing-om> devslash: Well .. upgrade OR clean install 15.10 . Yo upgrade we must make sure that system is stable . Possible not worth the effort .
[01:59] <devslash> Why is ubuntu so goddamned buggy
[01:59] <onnz423> Im going back to windows fully
[01:59] <onnz423> This is a gaming pc so... ;_;
[01:59] <onnz423> And i dont like dualbooting
[01:59] <dylan> Why not
[02:00] <onnz423> Idk xD
[02:00] <NetUser> how to remove Windows EFI on ubuntu ??
[02:00] <onnz423> It just doesnt feel right
[02:00] <NetUser> but my ubuntu in LEGACY mode
[02:00] <not_here> That's weird
[02:00] <Bashing-om> devslash: It is not .. You do not inderstand the release schedule . 15.04 was an interim release for the next Long_Term_Support release .
[02:00] <not_here> what does dualbooting make you feel
[02:01] <onnz423> I have no idea
[02:01] <onnz423> Time to roll a ciggie
[02:01] <not_here> ciggie huh
[02:01] <onnz423> Kind of pisses me off that i cant get something as simple as burning dvd to work
[02:01] <onnz423> U know that feeling? XD
[02:01] <not_here> on ubuntu?
[02:01] <onnz423> Yup
[02:02] <not_here> sometimes yeah
[02:02] <skinux> How do I install software that tells me to install using setup.py? I've been told several times to never use setup.py because it puts all kinds of shit on my system.
[02:02] <onnz423> On live usb
[02:02] <not_here> the simplest shit sometimes..
[02:02] <onnz423> And from main one too
[02:02] <ZsparksNY> You need the dual boot that automatically knows which OS to load.
[02:02] <not_here> setup.py is fine
[02:02] <not_here> python setup.py install
[02:02] <onnz423> I wanna see the error it gives
[02:02] <onnz423> I thinn imma re try running that k3b as root
[02:03] <skinux> not_here: A year or so ago, I was getting told all the time to never run that.
[02:03] <not_here> what else is in the dir?
[02:03] <not_here> also why specifically?
[02:03] <skinux> People kept saying setup.py puts a whole bunch of stuff on the system and creates a mess.
[02:04] <kelvin> skinux: you may want to look at setup.py and see what it does
[02:04] <not_here> On my system it puts it right in site-pakcages
[02:04] <not_here> quite clean
[02:04] <skinux> Hmm...okay
[02:04] <not_here> do a quick google I suppose
[02:04] <dxxxxd> is there any way to make ubuntu 14.. look like ubuntu 8.04-8.10
[02:04] <not_here> also look at the code
[02:04] <devslash> Can i upgrade a non working distro with a bootable ubuntu dvd ?
[02:05] <not_here> yessir
[02:05] <dxxxxd> ? me?
[02:05] <kelvin> devslash: why don't you do a clean install?
[02:05] <not_here> the non working system being non-booting?
[02:05] <onnz423> Yup
[02:05] <devslash> I want to keep what I had already set up if possible
[02:05] <onnz423> Could anyone look to the log if i post it to pastebin?
[02:05] <dxxxxd> i want my box to look like intrepid 8.10 splash screen and all
[02:05] <onnz423> I dont really understand a word of it
[02:05] <dxxxxd> wtf do i do for that
[02:08] <kelvin> devslash: what kind of setting do you want to keep? Very often you can just backup the config file
[02:09] <onnz423> pastebin.com/UvVmgrjW
[02:09] <onnz423> If someone could check that, i would really appreciate it
[02:11] <kelvin> onnz423: are you trying to write multiple sessions?
[02:12] <onnz423> Session
[02:12] <onnz423> ?
[02:13] <onnz423> Im just using default and autosettings from k3b
[02:13] <onnz423> And brasero too
[02:13] <onnz423> And i tried with 2 different dvds
[02:13] <onnz423> Both same error
[02:15] <kelvin> are the dvds blank? or there is something already in it?
[02:16] <onnz423> Yes
[02:16] <onnz423> Shows both as blank
[02:16] <onnz423> I have one empty hard drive attached
[02:16] <kelvin> you are burning iso images?
[02:16] <onnz423> Could i possibly use that for mounting the iso?
[02:17] <onnz423> And booting windows installer from it
[02:17] <onnz423> Yup
[02:17] <onnz423> Trying to burn windows 10 iso
[02:17] <onnz423> And its just me that is having this issue
[02:17] <kelvin> why would you want to install window like that?
[02:17] <onnz423> Idk
[02:18] <onnz423> I need windows back for gaming purposws
[02:18] <onnz423> Purposes
[02:18] <dm_comp> Ubuntu 16.04 getting this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1393842
[02:18] <dm_comp> can anyone confirm?
[02:18] <onnz423> And i dont happen to have anything else to burn with
[02:19] <onnz423> Only those dvd's and usb flash drive which is 2gb unfortunately
[02:20] <kelvin> onnz423: you may want to try this: http://unetbootin.github.io/
[02:20] <onnz423> Unetbootin supports windows isos?
[02:20] <kelvin> not sure
[02:20] <kelvin> i've done this with linux only
[02:20] <onnz423> I have android phone too
[02:21] <onnz423> I could use the drivedroid but
[02:21] <onnz423> That would need windows pc i think
[02:21] <onnz423> For formatting, not sure if gparted can do that
[02:24] <Sky_Guy87> hi
[02:26] <kelvin> onnz423: because you already have the iso file, you can try using unetbootin
[02:27] <onnz423> Nope
[02:27] <onnz423> Shows only usb and hard drive
[02:27] <onnz423> As options
[02:28] <kelvin> you can choose disk image directly
[02:29] <kelvin> usb/hard drive is desintation
[02:30] <onnz423> Yes
[02:30] <onnz423> But the hard drive it does not show anything else then "/"
[02:30] <kelvin> don't you want to try a usb?
[02:31] <onnz423> I dont have usb stick big enough
[02:31] <onnz423> I do have one 4GB
[02:31] <onnz423> But for some weird reason everytime i try to make it bootable
[02:31] <onnz423> It does not boot from it
[02:31] <kelvin> If I remember correctly, you can still use /
[02:31] <onnz423> Yes but like
[02:31] <onnz423> What if it writes it to my main hard drive
[02:31] <kelvin> it doesn't remove everything in your drive
[02:32] <onnz423> Then i will have no working os
[02:32] <kelvin> i think i've done this a year ago
[02:32] <kelvin> there's a menu that you can choose from
[02:32] <kelvin> after reboot
[02:32] <kelvin> but if you want to be safe, you'd better use a usb of course
[02:32] <B0g4r7_> I'm preparing to install ubuntu 16.04 (beta 2) on a new box.  I'm gonna see if I can get lvmcache to work.
[02:34] <onnz423> Well i dont have usb ;_;
[02:34] <onnz423> I could try once on the 4gb one tho
[02:34] <onnz423> Maybe this time it works
[02:34] <kelvin> do you have an external harddisk?
[02:35] <squinty> onnz423,  might want to try dd command     dd bs=4M if=/path/to/distribution.iso of=/dev/sdx && sync
[02:39] <B0g4r7_> I prefer ddrescue --force /path/to/distribution.iso /dev/sdx && sync
[02:39] <B0g4r7_> It will transfer much faster, and give a nice progress display.
[02:39] <onnz423> Yeah
[02:39] <onnz423> I fucked it up
[02:40] <squinty> onnz423,  family channel here   swear words are taboo
[02:40] <onnz423> Ah sorry
[02:40] <onnz423> My apologizes
[02:40] <onnz423> will not happen again :)
[02:40] <squinty> :-)
[02:41] <B0g4r7_> My family digs #ubuntu.
[02:41] <onnz423> My family does not know what is ubuntu
[02:41] <onnz423> Or linux
[02:41] <onnz423> They think that mac os x and windows r only ones
[02:47] <onnz423> Squishy_,
[02:47] <onnz423> i did it, it finshed in 1 second
[02:47] <onnz423> ... xD
[02:47] <onnz423> and didnt write anything
[02:50] <devslash> I'm so done with Ubuntu. I just downloaded the iso and burnt it to an external drive to do a fresh install over my non bootable install but the installer seems to be broken. Its been stuck on an all black screen for 15 minutes
[02:50] <onnz423> devslash,
[02:50] <onnz423> if you have 2 screens attached
[02:50] <onnz423> take another one off
[02:50] <onnz423> for installing
[02:50] <onnz423> that worked for me
[02:51] <devslash> I do have 2 monitors
[02:52] <onnz423> try taking another one off the hdmi or display port or what ever it is :=
[02:52] <onnz423> :)
[02:52] <devslash> I unplugged it
[02:52] <onnz423> i attached it back after installing nvidia official drivers
[02:53] <devslash> Youre a genius
[02:53] <not_here> you guys here about bash on windows
[02:53] <onnz423> hmm
[02:53] <devslash> Do you think that that can cause my existing ubuntu install to hang ?
[02:53] <onnz423> actually
[02:53] <onnz423> it might be the iso
[02:53] <devslash> Yea i did
[02:55] <devslash> Onnz i can get to theubuntu installation setup now
[02:56] <onnz423> devslash, nice to hear that your problem is fixed :)
[02:56] <onnz423> just install the graphic drivers and then you should be good to go
[02:56] <onnz423> ^^-
[02:56] <onnz423> ^-^*
[02:56] <devslash> I will
[02:57] <onnz423> too bad i gotta go back to windows
[02:57] <onnz423> but it feels kind of waste to use ubuntu on gaming pc
[02:57] <onnz423> cnt play gta v, crysis or such so well
[02:58] <devslash> So well ? You cant play it at all
[02:58] <onnz423> devslash, you can few games
[02:58] <onnz423> on steam
[02:58] <onnz423> mostly games with source engine
[02:58] <devslash> I think my gfx card is fcked
[02:59] <devslash> Im at the preparing Ubuntu screen and theres letters missing from the text on the screen
[02:59] <onnz423> its a shame that we dont have so good support for games for linux
[02:59] <onnz423> well if you press "try ubuntu" are letters sstill missing?
[03:00] <onnz423> when you browse through the menus
[03:02] <devslash> Do those games have native linux support ?
[03:02] <devslash> Onzz yes every screen in the setup is messed up
[03:03] <onnz423> devslash, yes, they do by valve
[03:03] <onnz423> http://store.steampowered.com/search/?term=&sort_by=_ASC&os=linux&page=1
[03:03] <onnz423> there is a few
[03:04] <devslash> Im really surprised
[03:04] <onnz423> 163 pages
[03:04] <onnz423> :D
[03:04] <onnz423> its something
[03:04] <devslash> Gta5 is supported on linux ??
[03:04] <onnz423> nope :<
[03:04] <devslash> Oh
[03:04] <devslash> What about payday 2
[03:04] <onnz423> https://gist.github.com/BeauBouchard/c496fcd231c3d06fced5
[03:04] <onnz423> there is some guide here but
[03:05] <onnz423> Its emulated
[03:05] <waterCreature> has anyone used ubuntu on raspberry pi?
[03:05] <onnz423> i tried it, but it didnt have any installation files
[03:05] <onnz423> i dont know why
[03:05] <waterCreature> i got the NOOBS, but it's super irritating. can't install eclipse and the downloads takes hours.
[03:05] <onnz423> devslash, yo
[03:06] <onnz423> it was some error apperently
[03:06] <onnz423> now it can be installed :D
[03:06] <devslash> What was
[03:06] <onnz423> 27603MB, last time i checked it was 370MB
[03:06] <onnz423> so i guess they had update or smthn
[03:06] <devslash> Wgat are you talking about
[03:06] <onnz423> about the payday2, short answer is yes it can be installed
[03:07] <waterCreature> i am thinking of switching to ubuntu, but from one website, the poll result was like 60 something percent for raspbian and 28% for ubuntu, although it doesn't say what the poll question is about.
[03:07] <devslash> Nice
[03:07] <waterCreature> I need to make sure that before I swt=itch to ubuntu, that ubuntu is a better choice than raspbian .
[03:07] <devslash> I use raspbian on my pi
[03:08] <waterCreature> devslash, how has it been so far?
[03:08] <devslash> Very reliable
[03:08] <waterCreature> what do you use it for?
[03:08] <devslash> Web hosting
[03:08] <onnz423> I guess im getting rasperry pi too
[03:08] <devslash> I run a private cloud server
[03:08] <[Saint]> a very very slow one. :)
[03:09] <onnz423> i was thinking about running a tor exit node on rasperry
[03:09] <onnz423> for that reason i would buy it
[03:09] <[Saint]> there's a LOT of non-pi boards that aren't objectively terrible.
[03:09] <[Saint]> shop around.
[03:10] <waterCreature> as for me, I need to link it with arduino and create a UI to display whatever arduino is sending, I installed kivy globally, on RP, but the same code that works on windows is not running on Rapsbian,
[03:10] <waterCreature> I am devastated.
[03:12] <onnz423> I kind of want to learn C++ and create my own cryptocurrency
[03:12] <[Saint]> If you want a whole lot more board at a reasonably similar price, and don't care too much about the silicon vendor, check out Hardkern's ODROID boards.
[03:12] <[Saint]> The XU4 is a neat little board.
[03:13] <[Saint]> *Hardkernel
[03:14] <waterCreature> I should have researched more before i bought raspberry pi..
[03:15] <[Saint]> Yep.
[03:15] <[Saint]> They saturated the market with noise.
[03:15] <[Saint]> Then others blindly parrot it.
[03:15] <[Saint]> The only really compelling reason to get a pi is the cost.
[03:15] <waterCreature> i paid 63 singapoer dollars.
[03:16] <[Saint]> ....ouch.
[03:16] <waterCreature> Now I just have to make it work
[03:16] <[Saint]> The C2 is also a neat little board.
[03:16] <[Saint]> And priced very pi-competitively.
[03:18] <sabotagebeats> is there better boards than pi that are currently avail for similar pricepoint? :3
[03:18] <sabotagebeats> i really wanted to buy a pi but i can't find one shipped from USA for a non gouged price
[03:18] <waterCreature> http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php yeah, this one seems like it has better specs
[03:19] <[Saint]> sabotagebeats: C2 from Ameridroid.
[03:19] <[Saint]> (since you're in the US)
[03:19] <waterCreature> except rp3 has wifi and bluetooth built in, so no need to buy wifi dongle.
[03:19] <[Saint]> They're a hardkernel distribution partner.
[03:19] <[Saint]> That's a piss poor reason to prefer the Pi 3 IMO.
[03:19] <waterCreature> yeah,
[03:19] <sabotagebeats> [Saint], is the C2 arm?
[03:19] <waterCreature> ikr
[03:20] <sabotagebeats> 2 dongles = 10 bucks ?
[03:20] <[Saint]> Less, and, yes, it is.
[03:20] <[Saint]> aarch64 in fact.
[03:20] <sabotagebeats> what does tha tmean :)
[03:21] <[Saint]> "ARM 64 bit"
[03:21] <[Saint]> just check the link that waterCreature beat me to supplying by a few seconds.
[03:22] <[Saint]> Oh. They also run Android, which is something the Pi will never do in any of its current forms without Broadcom taking a digit out of an orifice.
[03:22] <[Saint]> (which they have repeatedly displayed no interest in doing)
[03:23] <[Saint]> Well...raspi can "run Android", but it is a useless lagfest unaccellerated mess.
[03:25] <waterCreature> It's ok actuallly< Because in SIngapore, it's really a pain to get my hands on those ys
[03:25] <waterCreature> It's ok actuallly< Because in SIngapore, it's really a pain to get my hands on those toys*
[03:32] <onnz423> Hmm
[03:32] <onnz423> I just flagged the external hard drive as boot
[03:32] <onnz423> And extracted iso to it
[03:32] <onnz423> And it booted, was it that easy?
[03:33] <B0g4r7_> What credentials can I use at the console login when using "Try Ubuntu without installing"?
[03:33] <onnz423> Well
[03:33] <onnz423> Sudo
[03:33] <onnz423> And password is ubuntu
[03:33] <onnz423> I think
[03:33] <onnz423> ubuntu and ubunti
[03:33] <onnz423> ubuntu*
[03:34] <B0g4r7_> I'm doing ctrl-alt-f1, and logging into the text console.
[03:34] <onnz423> Yeah
[03:34] <B0g4r7_> No love with ubuntu/ubuntu
[03:34] <onnz423> Uhmm root?
[03:34] <onnz423> and root
[03:34] <B0g4r7_> nope.  This is 16.04 beta 2.
[03:35] <paladium> do a ctrl-alt-f7 to gui and sudo passwd ubuntu ?
[03:35] <onnz423> try ubuntu without password?
[03:35] <B0g4r7_> there we go.  thx.
[03:35] <B0g4r7_> ubuntu/<no password>
[03:36] <B0g4r7_> gui might work if I had a mouse attached.
[03:37] <onnz423> Firetube is a really nice app
[03:37] <onnz423> For android
[03:38] <onnz423> It lists music only and it can be used as audio player for youtube
[03:38] <onnz423> So u can do whatever at sametime when playing music from it
[03:38] <[Saint]> YouTube already does this.
[03:38] <onnz423> Wait?
[03:39] <onnz423> They do support lock screen n stuff?
[03:39] <sabotagebeats> onnz423, only if you pay for red
[03:39] <onnz423> LOL
[03:39] <onnz423> Not paying lmao
[03:39] <sabotagebeats> ;)
[03:39] <onnz423> Would rather buy spotify omce again when i have cash
[03:39] <[Saint]> I got it with my Google Music subscription.
[03:39] <onnz423> Yeah
[03:40] <[Saint]> But you also have to be in a locale that doesn't suck...so, yeah.
[03:40] <onnz423> I got 6 months google play music with nexus 6p
[03:40] <onnz423> I dont think those red subscriptions are valid on finland
[03:40] <Rhorse> I have everything. I like choice!
[03:40] <onnz423> I think its usa only
[03:41] <[Saint]> Google pretty much hates most of Europe and the Northern ZHemisphere I think.
[03:41] <onnz423> Yeah
[03:41] <[Saint]> EU licensing shenanigans and various locale-specific issues make it difficult.
[03:41] <onnz423> We have google datacenter
[03:41] <onnz423> Imma go there and cry about it
[03:42] <onnz423> https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/inside/locations/hamina/index.html
[03:42] <onnz423> I wonder why is that data center here
[03:43] <onnz423> Maybe it had something to do with that its close to russia
[03:43] <[Saint]> Don't put all your eggs in one basket, so to speak.
[03:43] <tsotf> hello
[03:43] <[Saint]> Its just about redundancy.
[03:43] <[Saint]> One goes down, there's more to take up the slack.
[03:43] <[Saint]> Scatter them around the globe to increase your odds.
[03:44] <[Saint]> data policy 101. basically.
[03:44] <tsotf> i install ubuntu 14.04 then i install vlc player, but when i play a video, i get a error "No suitable decoder module:" ?
[03:45] <B0g4r7_> tsotf, did you install updates?
[03:45] <B0g4r7_> if no, you should.
[03:45] <tsotf> yes i installed it
[03:46] <nchambers> hey guys... I just installed ubuntu 15.04 32 bit server release on my physical server. I can ping 8.8.8.8, google.com, my vps, etc from it but whenever I run apt-get upgrade or apt-get update, it just says IGN <source> for each of the sources and does nothing. is there a way to fix this?
[03:47] <not_here> sudo?
[03:47] <tsotf> it happen when i play video with video player then i get information to install driver then i install it, but when i play using vlc always show error
[03:47] <nchambers> not_here, yeah I did it with sudo
[03:47] <not_here> firewall?
[03:48] <nchambers> I
[03:48] <nchambers> I'd imagine no
[03:48] <nchambers> cause I can do it from my laptop
[03:48] <not_here> you in your home network?
[03:48] <nchambers> yeah
[03:48] <avis> would someone port scan me ?
[03:49] <not_here> portscan.net
[03:49] <not_here> woops that linked lol
[03:49] <RoundDuckMan> I got an issue with swap, after booting, it says my PC has issues with my sda4 swap, though swap is still working and I see my /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 working. This is on Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with an encrypted home folder (I checked the "encrypt home folder" checkmark) and I didn't see that problem happen until after restoring my partitions via testdi
[03:49] <RoundDuckMan> sk after accidently typing "sudo sgdisk --zap-all /dev/sda" instead of sdb at the end, lol. XD
[03:50] <RoundDuckMan> Well, my boot log says...
[03:50] <RoundDuckMan> no windows popped out saying about swap
[03:51] <RoundDuckMan> Help?
[03:52] <Bashing-om> tsotf: Have you installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras package ? It contains some of the restricted codecs .

[03:54] <[Saint]> could you not?
[03:54] <RoundDuckMan> output of systemctl status dev-sda4.swap -l: https://paste.ubuntu.com/15595626/
[03:54] <[Saint]> Someone will answer if or when they're able to.
[03:55] <tsotf> Bashing-om, i was installed it too, maybe i it's conflict ?
[03:56] <nchambers> not_here, I appreciate the attempt to help, but I fixed it... for some reason ubuntu had apt set to only read a list of cdrom sources
[03:56] <nchambers> swapped it with a good one and it works \o/
[03:57] <RoundDuckMan> [Saint]: Swap still seems to be working, it's just it seems that Ubuntu's having problems with seeing the swap again. :/
[03:57] <not_here> woo!
[03:57] <not_here> o7
[03:57] <RoundDuckMan> [Saint]: Swap still seems to be working, it's just it seems that Ubuntu's complaining about it.
[03:58] <RoundDuckMan> [Saint]: Also partition type for my partitions in gnome-disks says "basic data." Why?
[03:58] <Bashing-om> tsotf: Do not know if still applys. but 14.04 we do : ' sudo apt-get install libdvdread4 ; sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh ; sudo renoot ' to install codecs for VLC .
[03:59] <[Saint]> RoundDuckMan: I have no idea why you're addressing me personally.
[03:59] <[Saint]> Someone will answer you if or when they're able to, but it won't be me.
[04:00] <Bashing-om> tsotf: renoot/reboot*
[04:00] <RoundDuckMan> [Saint]: I thought you were talking to me eariler, plus I'm a little desperate. :P
[04:01] <[Saint]> RoundDuckMan: I was, but only to say please stop needlessly repeating yourself and to be patient.
[04:01] <[Saint]> Nothing more, nothing less.
[04:01] <RoundDuckMan> [Saint]: ok, sorry...
[04:01] <tsotf> Bashing-om, i will try.
[04:03] <tsotf> Bashing-om, sudo renoot , i get error command not found
[04:03] <[Saint]> You didn't literally type 'renoot' did you?
[04:04] <Bashing-om> tsotf: Yeah ^^ typo .. should be ' sudo reboot ' . :(
[04:05] <tsotf> ohhhh reboot :D
[04:06] <[Saint]> noot noot!
[04:06] <[Saint]> https://i.imgur.com/YkgBAY3.jpg

[04:07] <Gallomimia> !info nvidia-361
[04:07] <Gallomimia> great
[04:08] <Bashing-om> [Saint]: Worth a good chuckle .. where in the world did you find that ?
[04:09] <Bashing-om> Gallomimia: 361 version will not be available 'til 16.04 .. usr our tristed PPA .
[04:09] <Gallomimia> and how about 352.79?
[04:09] <Gallomimia> xorg-edgers ppa?
[04:10] <Bashing-om> Gallomimia: 352 is there .. but has some issues gaming .. that 361 fixes .
[04:10] <Gallomimia> 352 is what i have installed, but it's not the latest version
[04:10] <Gallomimia> i mean, the packaged version is not the latest of 352
[04:10] <Gallomimia> so. what ppa is it?

[04:17] <Gallomimia> yep. conf files in there. i do believe updates tend to break the configs, and then you can't start it anymore
[04:26] <onnz423> windows 10 does not look taht bad tbh
[04:35] <MannyLNJ> How do I symlink /plex/tv to /media/emanuel/WD_Backup_Drive/Storage/TV?
[04:37] <rypervenche> MannyLNJ: You mean /media/emanuel/WD_Backup_Drive/Storage/TV to /plex/tv?
[04:38] <rypervenche> MannyLNJ: /media/emanuel/WD_Backup_Drive/Storage/TV is your backup drive.
[04:38] <MannyLNJ> When I go to /plex/tv I want it to see /media/emanuel/WD_Backup_Drive/Storage/TV
[04:38] <rypervenche> MannyLNJ: ln -s /media/emanuel/WD_Backup_Drive/Storage/TV /plex/tv
[04:39] <rypervenche> MannyLNJ: /plex/tv should not exist before you do that.

[04:43] <B0g4r7_> The regular Ubuntu Desktop installer still doesn't let me install onto dm-raid?   Bah.
[04:43] <MannyLNJ> rypervenche, thanks
[04:44] <B0g4r7_> er..."linux software raid" using mdmam rather.
[04:44] <B0g4r7_> mdadm
[04:45] <B0g4r7_> ...and 16.04 has no "alternate installer" available yet.  The plot thickens.
[04:49] <cfhowlett> alternate installer was removed some time ago B0g4r7_
[04:49] <Bashing-om> B0g4r7_: ' sudo apt install dmraid ' :)
[04:50] <B0g4r7_> I can't do the apt install bit at install-time, it seems.
[04:52] <B0g4r7_> For the moment I'm installing onto a regular partition, and planning to later copy the install onto lvm on software raid.
[04:53] <B0g4r7_> and hope the initrd modules and bootloader business all shakes out.
[04:55] <B0g4r7_> "We're sorry.  The installer crashed."  :(
[04:56] <B0g4r7_> Wow, kernel Oops and everything.
[04:58] <B0g4r7_> If y'all wanted to install ubuntu desktop onto software raid, how would you do it?
[04:58] <Bashing-om> !raid | B0g4r7_
[04:59] <B0g4r7_> Page says "If you're building a desktop then you need the "Alternate" install ISO for Ubuntu."
[04:59] <B0g4r7_> cfhowlett says "alternate installer was removed some time ago"
[04:59] <cfhowlett> confirming now ...
[04:59] <cfhowlett> !alternate | B0g4r7_
[05:00] <cfhowlett> B0g4r7_, but the alternate text installer is still in the server .iso, yes??
[05:00] <theos> re: hi! i get ls: cannot access file.pdf: Input/output error. how can i delete the file without fsck? its ext4 fs
[05:00] <B0g4r7_> I don't have the server iso on hand to check...it probably is, but I'm trying to do Desktop on software raid.
[05:02] <B0g4r7_> I guess I could install Server and then convert it.
[05:03] <B0g4r7_> That would probably be the easiest route.
[05:09] <Rhorse> Hi, Does Ubuntu installer use GPT or LVM in setting up partitions?
[05:10] <Gallomimia> it can
[05:13] <Gallomimia> in order to get my installation done on a mdadm raid, i had to use the ubuntu server installer

[05:52] <wutf> installed trusty on my Chromebook Pixel 2, no audio
[05:53] <wutf> anyone skilled in audio want to try to help me get it working?
[05:54] <wafflejock> wutf: wouldn't say I'm skilled in audio but can help you debug some probably
[05:55] <wafflejock> wutf: have you tried using the alsa-utils (arecord and aplay to test the low level audio stuff) ?
[05:56] <wutf> not really, but as far as i can tell, no one has gotten it working
[05:56] <wafflejock> wutf: also you probably want to check out the following commands lshw, lspci -k, lsusb, each of those will list some hardware details typically if you find the device id can google that and the version of ubuntu to find details
[05:56] <wutf> ...except for the strategy of migrating some chromium os code to linux and building a custom kernel
[05:57] <wafflejock> wutf: might be the case if none of the build in kernel modules support the audio chipset dunno the details of the pixel 2
[05:57] <wafflejock> built in*
[05:58] <wafflejock> wutf: should work as is if this post was true https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/chromebook-central/9VxEbNc0j9k/081Gtv1wvxMJ the intel hd audio is supported
[05:58] <wutf> lshw: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/f22ee1d3104ba94d10cd260e475a0ea8

[06:01] <wutf> that's an interesting post, but apparently nothing has come of it
[06:01] <wutf> checking this out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[06:03] <wafflejock> wutf: yeah found a launchpad bug with that broadwell U audio chipset with some issues trying to see if it went anywhere in terms of workaround or details, people say they can grep for it in the dmesg and find errors about broadwell
[06:03] <wafflejock> wutf: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1441852 <-- if this seems familiar there is a workaround somewhere in there
[06:04] <John> hi
[06:05] <Guest6946> whos new to ubuntu
[06:05] <Guest6946> whos new?
[06:05] <wafflejock> Guest6946: I'm a few years in but if you're looking for general chat maybe join #ubuntu-offtopic since this room is just for support questions
[06:05] <cfhowlett> Guest6946, this is ubuntu tech support.  please stay on topic.  thanks
[06:06] <Guest6946> ok then, this has been on my mind for a while now, how do i get my primary screen to the right?
[06:07] <wafflejock> Guest6946: are you using Unity or a different desktop environment?
[06:07] <Guest6946> no
[06:07] <buharin> hi
[06:07] <buharin> I go linux on my imac and got only one problem
[06:07] <buharin> my youtube sounds not playing
[06:07] <buharin> think it is stereo properties problem
[06:08] <wafflejock> Guest6946: well you have to be using some sort of desktop environment if you just went with default Ubuntu then it's Unity (I personally use Ubuntu Gnome edition so I have gnome in here you drag the little black bar in the displays from one monitor to the other)
[06:08] <wafflejock> buharin: does audio in other applications work?
[06:08] <Guest6946> oh, how do i get unity
[06:08] <wutf> wafflejock getting hda intel working seems promising, thanks
[06:08] <buharin> wafflejock, yes I check skype, and also audio tests also work
[06:09] <buharin> wafflejock, the strange thing happens when add module to alsa hda_imac27 it works only with stereo4.0
[06:09] <buharin> but I need to change it because no headphones support there
[06:09] <buharin> i used imac27_122
[06:09] <buharin> and it works fine
[06:10] <buharin> however I cann't choice mode stereo
[06:10] <buharin> and my youtube won't work
[06:10] <buharin> vimeo works :)
[06:10] <wafflejock> wutf: no prob good luck too
[06:10] <buharin> I tried with gnash but it also won't
[06:11] <wafflejock> buharin: that is pretty strange
[06:11] <buharin> where can I find for ex. gnash audio settings?
[06:11] <wafflejock> buharin: only sort of related things I've seen is if pulseaudio isn't running then YouTube will not play (will just show the first frame) until I get pulseaudio running again
[06:11] <Guest6946> anyone there
[06:11]  * ecemm sex video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ehJrXd6QMs
[06:12] <cfhowlett> !ops | Guest6946
[06:13] <buharin> wafflejock, how to run pulseaudio?
[06:14] <wafflejock> buharin: typically it starts automatically during boot up I just had that issue because I was using JACK audio for some Midi stuff I was playing with and didn't have the pulsaudio jack bridge stuff so I was stopping pulseaudio manually with pulseaudio -k and then starting it back up manually
[06:15] <wafflejock> buharin: as far as I understand it ALSA is the low level audio stuff that communicates with the kernel drivers for talking to the hardware, then typically Ubuntu uses Pulseaudio on top of that for controlling per application volume to go to ALSA and out to the hardware
[06:15] <B0g4r7_> Bah, Server installer also fails saying "Your installation  CD-ROM couldn't be mounted."  CD-ROM?  What is this 1997?
[06:15] <wafflejock> then JACK is an alternative that can talk right to ALSA too or I think can go through pulse
[06:16] <wafflejock> haha :)
[06:16] <buharin> wafflejock, yeah
[06:16] <dm_comp> hi, so in a bug report it states this this should be fixed in libvirt 1.3.1-1ubuntu8 and when i do dpkg -s libvirt-bin i get this this Version: 1.3.1-1ubuntu6
[06:16] <buharin> you know I find some that there are some settings for defaul stereo
[06:17] <buharin> but I don't where I can set this
[06:17] <dm_comp> how can i get the new version?
[06:17] <buharin> wafflejock, I think the problem is that by default youtube trying to use stereo4.0 but my audio not working in this mode
[06:18] <wafflejock> buharin: not sure about that have used the alsa-utils (alsamixer) or pulseaudio volume control (pavucontrol) for adjusting audio things (also with JACK qJackControl and patchage but not really relevant here)
[06:18] <wafflejock> I dunno any of those let you change the stereo mode though
[06:18] <wafflejock> I have done some commands for adjusting audio output on raspi but again not sure about stereo mode just which hardware output to use
[06:19] <buharin> wafflejock, if I run pavucontrol
[06:19] <buharin> I can see how audio is playing
[06:19] <buharin> but no sound here
[06:20] <wafflejock> hmm weird, it looks like the right output selected in pulse for where you see the vu meter too? usually a little drop down there if you have multiple outputs (bluetooth or whatever)
[06:20] <buharin> wafflejock, I dropdown all settings noone works
[06:22] <wafflejock> yah sorry think I'm out of ideas buharin will let you know if I think of or find anything
[06:22] <B0g4r7_> askubuntu.com tells me "Ubuntu Server Install has been broken for many versions. I don't think it will ever be corrected."
[06:23] <wafflejock> B0g4r7_: never had a problem with it really but lately I've just been using VPS services for Ubuntu Server
[06:23] <buharin> wafflejock, yeah sure it is okay, the solution right now is stop watching youtube
[06:23] <buharin> xD
[06:23] <B0g4r7_> IDK man, I may be losing my faith in the whole linux on the desktop thing.  I might have to think about going back to os x.
[06:24] <wafflejock> B0g4r7_: well if you want to install desktop linux why use the server install disk?
[06:24] <B0g4r7_> Because I want raid, and the desktop installer won't let me do raid.
[06:25] <tonyyarusso> The idea that the server installer is broken is news to me, since I run that...
[06:25] <B0g4r7_> Here's the page that tells me that: http://askubuntu.com/questions/671159/bootable-usb-needs-cd-rom
[06:26] <B0g4r7_> Seemingly broken if you're trying to install from some media other than a physical CD-ROM.
[06:27] <tonyyarusso> I think recent versions all let you just dd the image rather than using any of those utilities.
[06:27] <B0g4r7_> That's what I did.  dd'd the image.
[06:27] <styles> I just wanted to come by and express my annoyance. I just apt-get remove protobuf* thinking I'd remove protobuf packages.... and it took half the OS with it
[06:29] <cfhowlett> styles, it did precisely what you ordered.  no more no less.  ubuntu cannot protect users from themselves.  in future apt-get -s purge packagename will preview but not execute
[06:30] <styles> cfhowlett, -s purge gah I have to write this down
[06:30] <cfhowlett> apt-get -s will save you many a heartache
[06:30] <styles> are there any tricks to backing up a home dir with encryption enabled?
[06:30] <styles> (I'm logged in as the user)
[06:31] <styles> I assume I can just tar the whole folder?
[06:32] <B0g4r7_> I guess I'm going to have to burn a physical CD, and put an optical drive in this box temporarily.
[06:35] <B0g4r7_> 771MB, won't fit on CD-R, must use DVD-R...
[06:47] <B0g4r7_> Well...it doesn't work even using a physical disc.  Same error.
[06:48] <cfhowlett> try a different USB
[06:49] <B0g4r7_> The optical drive (and the ssd I tried earlier) are attached to the internal sata.  No usb involved.
[06:50] <cfhowlett> did you verify that .iso?
[06:51] <B0g4r7_> I downloaded it using a torrent client.  I assumed the client verified it...
[06:52] <kulelu88> how do I specify a specific port for lighttpd when it is not the root directory but a user directory? eg. After following these ubuntu instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/lighttpd . I now want to give a special port to: Enabling User Directories
[06:53] <B0g4r7_> e3d456d3351ddfedeeb0b0774c9d1e0fa24d3e5e  ubuntu-16.04-beta2-server-amd64.iso -- looks correct
[06:53] <cfhowlett> !md5sum  B0g4r7_, trivial matter to verify for yourself.
[06:53] <cfhowlett> !md5sum
[06:57] <B0g4r7_> Hmm, I may have goofed...
[06:58] <adx> hi
[06:58] <huscurian> Has anyone upgraded to 16.04 yet?
[06:58] <huscurian> I checked and I'm still on 15.10
[06:58] <B0g4r7_> I'm trying to install 16.04, and failing.
[06:58] <B0g4r7_> Official release date is 21-April, I believe.
[06:59] <cfhowlett> not supported here. ask 3ubuntu Plus 1
[06:59] <B0g4r7_> OK, yeah, it's working now.  I was doing it wrong.
[07:00] <B0g4r7_> The install disc wasn't in the drive.  The second install attempt was booting from the same ssd as the failed first attempt.
[07:04] <B0g4r7_> Hmm, dare I try XFS rootfs?
[07:05] <B0g4r7_> XFS has done pretty great for me as a non-root-fs.
[07:05] <cfhowlett> B0g4r7_, ask in the correct channel #ubuntu+1
[07:05] <B0g4r7_> kk
[07:30] <Eiam_> I'm trying to install systemtap on ubuntu trusty, but I keep getting E: Unable to locate package systemtap
[07:31] <Eiam_> It appears to exist though -- https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+source/systemtap
[07:34] <baizon> Eiam_: is your "Universe" repository activated?
[07:35] <Eiam_> cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:35] <Eiam_> deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main multiverse universe restricted
[07:35] <Eiam_> deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-security main multiverse universe restricted
[07:35] <Eiam_> is that right?
[07:36] <baizon> Eiam_: yes it should be right that way
[07:37] <baizon> Eiam_: apt-get update report some errors?
[07:39] <Eiam_> Ah! that seemed to find the package, but it failed further on the line. https://gist.github.com/anonymous/4edde8cb8f40beaae4f0e62d784e8324
[07:39] <Eiam_> shouldn't apt do the cascading dependency install?
[07:41] <poli> Hello all! I just dist-upgraded from 14.04 to 15.10 and I am not able to the my Atheros Killer E220x (alx driver) working on the 4.2 kernel. It works just fine on the old versin 3 kernel. How can I install the alx driver in this latest version?
[07:41] <Eiam_> let me try it again, it really shouldn't have that
[07:43] <Eiam_> yeah, there it goes
[07:43] <Eiam_> cool!
[07:44] <Eiam_> baizon: thank you..
[07:44] <baizon> Eiam_: np
[07:45] <poli> Let me rephrase that: seems like 15.10's 4.2 kernel is missing the atheros/alx driver altogether. What would be the best way to install it?
[07:46] <baizon> poli: https://askubuntu.com/questions/616182/alx-on-ar8191-does-not-appear-to-be-working-15-04
[07:47] <baizon> poli: http://cwang.me/blog/2015/05/30/how-to-fix-atheros-a8161-atheros-killer-e2200-ethernet-in-linux/
[07:48] <poli> baizon: seen that before, but thanks again. The alx driver isn't in the modules list, so I can't even get the ethernet to show up. That would be the second step. Had to boot the old 3 kernel to be able to get here.
[07:48] <baizon> poli: or try newer ones?
[07:48] <poli> baizon: newer kernels you mean?
[07:50] <poli> baizon: I think I need something more basic: I want to find out the ubuntu way of installing a kernel module. I know what that modules is, I just have to find out how to install it.
[07:52] <baizon> poli: have you tried that? https://askubuntu.com/questions/627287/ubuntu-15-04-eth0-is-no-longer-working-after-last-software-upgrade
[07:53] <poli> baizon: yes, downgrade works. But the reason stated there is not the same problem I am having. My driver is missing, not disfunctional.
[07:54] <rustuptwist__> I'm trying to burn Ubuntu 14.04.4 to a USB on a Mac to use on a Windows machine. Seems like the instructions on Ubuntu.com for Mac is to install in A Mac. Can some1 point me in the right direction
[07:55] <B0g4r7_> rustuptwist__, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx
[07:56] <rustuptwist__> B0g4r7_: yeah that's whewhere I am. So it will work
[07:56] <rustuptwist__> To install on Windows
[07:56] <B0g4r7_> I don't quite know what you mean "install on Windows".
[07:57] <B0g4r7_> Linux installs on a computer.
[07:59] <pZombie> test
[07:59] <rustuptwist__> B0g4r7_: if that page results in a Usb with a .dmg file I'm assuming it won't install on a computer running Windows OS as .dmg is for OSX
[08:00] <B0g4r7_> rustuptwist__, you don't place the .dmg file onto a filesystem on the usb drive.  You write it directly to the USB media, replacing its filesystem.
[08:00] <B0g4r7_> The resulting USB stick should be identical to one made using Windows or Linux or some other OS, if done correctly.
[08:00] <wafflejock> rustuptwist__: see the note there says it may rename it with a dmg extension, when you do the dd operation it writes all the data from inside the file it created to the drive
[08:00] <cfhowlett> rustuptwist__, correct, windows based computers need an .iso
[08:01] <rustuptwist__> even though I'm using a Mac I want the resulting bootable Usb to be usable to install Ubuntu on a computer running Windows Not OSX
[08:02] <kevin> hi
[08:02] <wafflejock> rustuptwist__: yeah should work fine really ultimately your just telling the computer to boot from the USB and then Ubuntu is going to take over starting itself up from there so it shouldn't really matter what other drives or systems are on the computer
[08:03] <wafflejock> rustuptwist__: you shouldn't end up with a dmg file on the USB though it should end up with the install files after the dd operation is done
[08:03] <lol> hi, i need to install gui in ubuntu server in my VPS server with 1GB ram ... which one should i install, KDE, GNOME, XFCE or anything else lighter? thanks
[08:03] <cfhowlett> lxde lol
[08:03] <rustuptwist__> Alrighty then. Thank you!
[08:04] <yellabs-r2> hello all
[08:04] <lol> thanks
[08:04] <rustuptwist__> and '~/path/' being The name of the folder where the downloaded  file is located?
[08:05] <B0g4r7_> rustuptwist__, make darned sure you've chosen the correct target disk.
[08:05] <yellabs-r2> i am trying to search in multi pdf on the command line with : pdftotext -layout bb.pdf -|grep -i -C 19 searchterm , now when in this command i do *.pdf , it does not work-- all tips are more then welcome
[08:08] <yellabs-r2> what could be wrong ?
[08:09] <yellabs-r2> that the use of a wildcard does not work in : pdftotext -layout  *.pdf -|grep -i -C 19 searchterm
[08:10] <cfhowlett> yellabs-r2, see man pdftotext for proper protocol
[08:11] <yellabs-r2> that does not say anything about *.pdf ( wildcard ) use
[08:12] <cfhowlett> suggesting that wildcard support is unavailable

[08:37] <Drac0_> Hi im runing ubuntu mint 15.10 and sometimes me screen goes like this http://i013.radikal.ru/1103/ba/1630cbbc99a7.jpg, so i had to reboot. Think its Xorg crash right? is there any way to debug it?
[08:41] <EriC^^> Drac0_: try cat /var/log/dmesg.0 after it happpens
[08:42] <Drac0_> it happend 5 min ago
[08:42] <Drac0_> just before i enter here after reboot
[08:42] <Drac0_> but when i type ur command: no such file
[08:43] <effectnet> so does linux need an antivirus?
[08:44] <EriC^^> Drac0_: odd
[08:44] <EriC^^> !av | effectnet
[08:45] <Drac0_> cat /var/log/dmesg returns nothing has been logged yet
[08:45] <EriC^^> try an older syslog maybe

[09:14] <pycer> Im running vbox. how do I mount shared folder in an Ubuntu guest? (host is ubuntu too)..i have done the guest additions and shared folder setting stuff. just mounting remains. thanks.
[09:14] <pycer>  a google search returned "mount vboxsf *sharename* *mount point* " but it didn't do. old guide i guess.
[09:17] <pycer> Thanks.
[09:17] <wafflejock> pycer: you manage to figure it out?
[09:18] <wafflejock> pycer: instructions here should work https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/SharedFolders personally have only had shared folders configured via vagrant recently not using VirtualBox manager so I'm fuzzy on the details
[09:20] <pycer> wafflejock: Thanks.
[09:26] <kalexyco> bonjour
[09:26] <azizLIGHT> somethings wrong with my keyboard? the media shortcut keys (volume up/down and next/prev track)  wont work, and neither does the shortcut ctrl+alt+t to open terminal?
[09:29] <azizLIGHT> they were working fine before
[09:30] <Zaitzev> azizLIGHT: Open System Settings, go to Keyboard and select the Shortcuts pane. Have a look there and see if those shortcuts has been cleared or not
[09:30] <azizLIGHT> i checked open terminal in there, and its still ctrl+alt+t
[09:31] <azizLIGHT> and i even set it again, and it recognizes im poressing ctrl+alt+t
[09:31] <azizLIGHT> yet when i press it outside the dialog box, nothing opens
[09:31] <azizLIGHT> this wasnt like this before.
[09:31] <azizLIGHT> not sure what happened
[09:33] <Zaitzev> You could try and search for it on ubuntuforums.org, or post there if there's no hits. Wait a little while and see if you get a response?
[09:33] <aq2> azizLIGHT: Which kernel are you running?
[09:33] <aq2> Check with uname -r
[09:33] <azizLIGHT> oh great, i cant even paste
[09:33] <azizLIGHT> ctrl shift v isnt working
[09:33] <azizLIGHT> 3.13.0-71-generic
[09:34] <azizLIGHT> oh nvm
[09:34] <azizLIGHT> it is
[09:34] <azizLIGHT> i didnt copy anything then
[09:34] <aq2> That's quite old
[09:34] <aq2> Run sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-wily if you want to try a newer one
[09:34] <azizLIGHT> ive not updated kernel intentinoally
[09:34] <azizLIGHT> ive been on the same kernel since this was working, and also now the same kernel where its not working
[09:34] <aq2> and maybe that's your problem?
[09:34] <azizLIGHT> probably not
[09:35] <aq2> the kernel communicates with your hardware
[09:35] <aq2> but if you can type its not probably its fault
[09:35] <Zaitzev> what if you tried it and rolled back to the one you're on, just to test? If that's possible (I have no idea)
[09:35] <azizLIGHT> thats not relaly possible right now
[09:36] <azizLIGHT> i dont have space in my /boot and its complicated for me to make space because of encryption
[09:36] <azizLIGHT> thats why i havent updated the kernel
[09:36] <aq2> I never make a separate /boot partition
[09:36] <azizLIGHT> ive probably updated software, except for the kernel
[09:36] <azizLIGHT> and rebooted
[09:37] <azizLIGHT> how do i see whats been recently updated
[09:37] <Zaitzev> You can go through update history in the software center
[09:42] <azizLIGHT> hmm whats the command that lets me see keypresses
[09:42] <azizLIGHT> to see if the system recognizes what im presing on the keyboard
[09:43] <azizLIGHT> i looked through the updates, doesnt look like anything shouldve done anything to my keyboard
[09:43] <Zaitzev> try screenkey
[09:46] <SCHAAP137> I upgraded my 15.10 installation to 16.04, because MATE had an issue starting. Now everything is working fine again, but built-in OSD notifications seem a bit off now
[09:46] <SCHAAP137> ah wait, #ubuntu+1 , got it
[09:46] <azizLIGHT> hm well i can see keypresses with screenkey
[09:47] <azizLIGHT> so whats ubuntu's problem that its not honoring the keyboard shurtcuts...
[09:47] <azizLIGHT> the keypresses are recognized, the keyboard shortcuts are set properly... so whats the problem
[09:50] <azizLIGHT> uhhhhhhhhhh i did kill -15 -1 and now everythings working
[09:50] <azizLIGHT> what the hell
[09:51] <azizLIGHT> why did that work when a restart didnt work
[09:51] <azizLIGHT> quite bizarre
[09:52] <Zaitzev> so something was blocking the keystrokes or something?
[09:53] <azizLIGHT> seems like it
[09:54] <azizLIGHT> whatever it was, could block keystrokes even after a reboot
[09:54] <azizLIGHT> only kililng it stopped it
[09:54] <Zaitzev> so it's a software that is trying to override the default keystrokes with its own, or something
[09:55] <Zaitzev> guess you're going to have to do some detective work trying to find the culprit
[09:55] <azizLIGHT> hmmm it must be my music player
[09:56] <azizLIGHT> that makes the most sense
[09:56] <azizLIGHT> ill try to verify
[09:56] <azizLIGHT> i am running a nightly version of it, so its entirely possible
[09:57] <Gnjurac> hi

[10:01] <k1l_> Gnjurac: virtualbox already ships a cd with guest additions in the settings of virtualbox. use that
[10:02] <SCHAAP137> Gnjurac, use the menu of the VM to insert the disk. Devices -> Insert Guest Additions CD
[10:02] <Gnjurac> sec
[10:02] <k1l_> Gnjurac: if there are issue ##windows and #virtualbox will help
[10:03] <Gnjurac> from where to download guest additions CD, dident know there waz #virtualbox

[10:37] <lotuspsychje> axel_: no random links here please
[10:40] <dokjasd> axel lotuspsychje  how do i generate Pictures Desktop folder with icon on it, after i delete the pics videos folder
[10:40] <EriC^^> dokjasd: mkdir ~/Pictures
[10:43] <dokjasd> no not regular folder, it should have that icon image,
[10:43] <EriC^^> it generates it itself i think
[10:45] <dokjasd> ok thx, one more query
[10:45] <dokjasd> how does nautilus poweroff the device,which cmd does it use internally
[10:46] <lotuspsychje> dokjasd: do you mean mount and unmount devices?
[10:47] <k1l_> dokjasd: do you mean "umount" and "eject" ?
[10:49] <dokjasd> k1l_, yes
[10:51] <EriC^^> dokjasd: i think it uses gvfs-mount or something similar to that
[10:52] <EriC^^> you want to automount it like it does?
[10:52] <v1p3r> hi

[11:12] <adham128> iam using ubuntu 14.04 LTS
[11:20] <wodim> hello my dear friends
[11:20] <wodim> where do I get some sort of a nightly ISO
[11:20] <k1l_> wodim: nightly of what?
[11:21] <wodim> of ubuntu, because this is #ubuntu, right?
[11:21] <wodim> don't you have something that builds ISOs each day with latest software from whatever your testing version is?
[11:21] <k1l_> wodim: yeah. but ubuntu is a stable release distribution. so i guess you want  daily build form the development 16.04 release?
[11:21] <wodim> I just don't want to download it to find out I have to download 1GB of packages to update it
[11:21] <wodim> yeah, sounds fine
[11:22] <k1l_> wodim: ok, that is a task for #ubuntu+1 . look at the topic there for the daily builds
[11:22] <wodim> thank you
[11:27] <adham128> how do you paste something in a command line?
[11:27] <k1l_> ctrl+shift+v
[11:27] <adham128> thanks!
[11:27] <sewerrat> or the scrollwheel click.
[11:28] <adham128> now i know what was wrong i couldnt reset my keyring coz i ddint know how to paste in a command line hehe
[11:29] <adham128> ok
[11:29] <adham128> so it says in the command line
[11:30] <adham128> cannot remove no such file or directory
[11:30] <adham128> rm ~/.local/share/keyrings/login.keyring
[11:30] <adham128> when i paste this
[11:31] <adham128> maybe i should try it without adham?
[11:35] <SchrodingersScat> adham128: so the file doesn't exist?
[11:36] <ChunkzZ> how can I get dhcp working with i3 wm and WIFI? it works with enternet....
[11:36] <PaulVern> I have a raspberry pi setup with openvpn, and ip forwarding, which i use for all my devices to connect to the Internet through a vpn.
[11:36] <PaulVern> sometimes that vpn connection dies/resets, or I reboot that raspberry pi
[11:37] <PaulVern> after this happens, my Ubuntu PC starts accessing the internet without going through the rapsberry pi
[11:37] <PaulVern> I think it must be going through my router
[11:37] <PaulVern> I set the default gateway of my PC to the raspberry pi, which is how I'm using the VPN
[11:38] <PaulVern> is it possible that my PC is falling back to the router even though the default gateway is the raspberry pi?
[11:38] <adham128> yes
[11:39] <Blueking> not easy to receive help on dhcp dhclient lease renew ip issues :/
[11:40] <adham128> maybe that is what encryption is?
[11:47] <adham128> i think i will use seahorse...
[11:48] <rolha> hi everyone
[11:50] <adham128> woho!
[11:50] <rolha> I'm doing a hobby website, with a barebones C HTTP server (learning purposes) and hosting it in Ubuntu. Can I use upstart to restart it automatically when it crashes?
[11:50] <adham128> i guess i will try wireless without passwords
[11:50] <ikonia> yes
[11:51] <rolha> ikonia: thanks :) what's the best place to lear upstart? is it http://upstart.ubuntu.com/?
[11:51] <rolha> ikonia: ah, nevermind, found the docs and they look good
[11:55] <adham128> didnt work =/
[12:02] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:12] <adham128> is there is a way to reset my linux?
[12:12] <adham128> without damage to the harddisk?
[12:12] <adham128> i tried recovery.. =)
[12:12] <ikonia> what do you mean reset it ?
[12:13] <adham128> well i want to install it
[12:13] <adham128> new one
[12:13] <ikonia> ok - install it then ?
[12:13] <adham128> yup
[12:13] <ikonia> thats totally different to the word 'reset'
[12:13] <adham128> =)
[12:13] <adham128> well i just want to rest that password lol
[12:14] <adham128> reset*
[12:14] <ikonia> what password ?
[12:14] <adham128> keyring one
[12:14] <ikonia> what keyring one ?
[12:14] <ikonia> I have no idea what you're referencing
[12:14] <ikonia> if you explain, I maybe able to help you better
[12:14] <adham128> lol i just want to install linux
[12:15] <ikonia> you're not making sense
[12:15] <ikonia> you said you want to reset, then install, now password reset, now install again
[12:15] <adham128> i want to go with the version of linux to a time
[12:15] <adham128> where i didnt make the keyring
[12:15] <adham128> lol
[12:15] <ikonia> what ?
[12:16] <ikonia> what's funny ?
[12:16] <ikonia> how about just explain the real problem, and lets see if we can fix that
[12:16] <adham128> i cant remember my keyring
[12:16] <adham128> i tried to reset the passwrod
[12:16] <adham128> couldnt
[12:16] <ikonia> what password
[12:16] <ikonia> the keyring doesn't have a password, the keys in it do,
[12:17] <adham128> ok i couldnt remeber the passwrod for my keys
[12:17] <adham128> or the keyring
[12:17] <ikonia> what keys
[12:17] <ikonia> the keyring doesn't have a password
[12:17] <ikonia> the keys do
[12:17] <adham128> yes i couldnt open my keys
[12:17] <ikonia> adham128: what is your native language ?
[12:17] <adham128> or to enable wireless
[12:18] <adham128> arabic
[12:18] <adham128> =)
[12:18] <ikonia> you may want to try to explain this to one of the arabic ubuntu locos
[12:18] <adham128> i couldnt enable wireless it asks me for the password
[12:18] <ikonia> as I think a lot of your problem is getting lost in translation
[12:18] <ikonia> adham128: if your wifi is password protected, it will prompt you for a password
[12:19] <adham128> yup
[12:19] <adham128> i dont know the passwrod
[12:19] <adham128> i got electrocuted as part of a psycological therpy
[12:19] <adham128> therapy
[12:19] <adham128> and forgot the password
[12:19] <ikonia> I think you're just wasting my time now
[12:19] <ikonia> with nonsense stories
[12:20] <adham128> ok so i forgot the opasswrod
[12:20] <adham128> passwrod
[12:20] <adham128> and i have no option but to reinstall linux
[12:20] <adham128> ...
[12:20] <adham128> password*
[12:20] <ikonia> looking at your comments in ##programming - it appears you are trolling making silly statements
[12:20] <akhilesh> hi
[12:20] <ikonia> so I ask you to stop now
[12:20] <akhilesh> I need some help with grub
[12:21] <adham128> dude i just want to make my laptop have linux
[12:21] <adham128> without passwords
[12:23] <adham128> how can i reset my linux password
[12:23] <adham128> ?
[12:23] <adham128> i trid everything on the internet
[12:23] <adham128> doesnt work
[12:24] <adham128> tried*
[12:24] <j09> For some of my Steam games sound plays all horribly scrambled. It seems to be a problem for a few games so I was hoping someone hear might be able to help? Google hasn't thrown up any useful results.
[12:24] <ikonia> it's not your linux password adham128
[12:24] <ikonia> it's your wifi password
[12:24] <ikonia> which is nothing to do with linux
[12:24] <adham128> ok
[12:24] <adham128> sorry
[12:25] <j09> I'm on 15:10 64bit with some USB headphones
[12:26] <naimatsu> hi !
[12:27] <j09> Can someone point me in the right direction for this at least, it seems other have had this with pulse audio before but none of their solutions have worked for me.
[12:30] <v0id09> is it possible to install ubuntu net edition on an usb flash drive?
[12:30] <ikonia> a usb is just a disk
[12:31] <j09> great help there
[12:33] <downlwil> DOes any one knows how to convert Ruby to python

[12:45] <kalexyco> il y a comme une sorte de régression quand même, devoir passer par un système de 2014 pour une machine sortie en 2016
[12:46] <jaws_> anyone here know how to sync xchat ubuntu  irc cloud
[12:46] <jaws_> to*
[12:47] <k1l_> !fr | kalexyco
[12:47] <kalexyco> i'am sorry
[12:48] <Roge152> Hi, I'm runnin ubuntu 14 here and trying to get some webcam audio working. The video is fine, and in alsamixer on the command line I can see the cam microphone and turn it up all the way. However, the cam mic is not availabe in any recording programs nore is it listed in pacmd list-sources. Any hints on what I can try ?
[12:48] <kalexyco> I’ve bought a skylake zenbook pro from Asus and ubuntu 16.04LTS refuse to boot on my laptop
[12:49] <SchrodingersScat> !16.04 | kalexyco
[12:49] <Roge152> running 15 rather*
[12:49] <kalexyco> while ubuntu 14.04.4 works fine
[12:49] <kalexyco> there is a paradox
[12:50] <jaws_> kalexyco did you create a flashdrive specifically to dualboot the computer and have you partitioned the harddrive
[12:50] <SchrodingersScat> kalexyco: it is possible that that is because 14.04.4 is a released version.
[12:51] <kalexyco> 15.10 do not want to boot to (from usb stick)
[12:52] <jaws_> look online for pendrivelinux and download it as well as the linux image, load the pendrivelinx then drag the iso to it and it will create a bootable image
[12:52] <jaws_> you wint boot from every time. just the first time
[12:53] <jaws_> look up how to dualboot linux and your computer brand
[12:53] <kalexyco> to upgrade to 15.10, i've done the first install from 14.04.4 and i've done a dist-upgrade to 15.10 with 4.3 kernel to work fine
[12:54] <Mathisen> !test
[12:54] <kalexyco> there is no feedback on zenbook ux501vw on the internet with linux
[12:56] <jaws_> partition your disk drive
[12:56] <jaws_> thats step one
[12:57] <aq2> That test was nice
[12:57] <jaws_> step 2 create a bootable usb installer
[12:58] <jaws_> for that youll need pendrivelinux and the ubuntu version.
[12:59] <jaws_> step three run pendrive linux and drag or browse for the location of the linux iso
[13:00] <jaws_> restart your computer and some how boot it into the menu where you can view different options. basically this is the computers pre boot grub
[13:01] <jaws_> if you dont see usb, or uui. you did everything wrong
[13:09] <BluesKaj> kalexyco, the best method to go from 14.04 to 15.10 is a clean install
[13:10] <aq2> why to go from lts to testing??
[13:10] <aq2> doesn't make any sense to me
[13:10] <aq2> a new kernel to 14.04 fixes many problems
[13:11] <aq2> sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-wily
[13:11] <aq2> that'll get 15.10's kernel in 14.04
[13:11] <Zaitzev> maybe that'll fix some issues that my laptop has..
[13:11] <Zaitzev> then again, it spews all kinds of errors just after a clean install
[13:11] <aq2> No, you're not supposed to manually compile it
[13:12] <aq2> and if it doesn't work hold down left shift on startup, go to advanced options and boot with the old kernel
[13:12] <aq2> that simple
[13:12] <aq2> Usually it works without any trouble though
[13:13] <BluesKaj> 15.10 is not a testing release
[13:14] <aq2> 15.10 is not an LTS release
[13:14] <aq2> !lts | BluesKaj
[13:14] <BluesKaj> so what he didn't ask about LTS
[13:14] <aq2> i don't want recommend non-lts to anyone
[13:14] <aq2> because its not as stable as lts
[13:15] <BluesKaj> well , that's your call, but that's just your opinion, not a fact
[13:16] <aq2> I think its a fact
[13:17] <aq2> More bug fixes are done before another version is released
[13:17]  * BluesKaj shrugs, you think ..heh
[13:20] <Guest65822> whatsup ubuntu people
[13:21] <tinyhippo> does the raspberry pi ARM build work on raspberry pi 3?
[13:22] <aq2> Try it and find out.
[13:22] <aq2> I'm no raspberry pi expert though
[13:22] <tinyhippo> aq2: I have tried, and it doesn't boot past the colourful screen
[13:22] <tinyhippo> putting the same SD card into a pi2 does boot, however
[13:23] <teward> tinyhippo: I'm not sure the exact same SD card will work; in theory it should work (armhf still supported on the processor), but I don't have the hardware to do that test
[13:23] <teward> (right now0
[13:24] <tinyhippo> teward: well, by 'exact same', I mean I downloaded the img from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RaspberryPi, dd -> sd card, put it into pi2, it boots fine, dd img -> sd card again, put it into pi3, and nothing
[13:25] <teward> tinyhippo: ah, I'm not sure 14.04 will have the support, I've heard good things about MATE's images though working
[13:25] <teward> on 15.10 :/
[13:26] <tinyhippo> yeah, speaking to some people in #raspberrypi say that there is some kind of trouble porting bits of the kernel
[13:26] <tinyhippo> well, the 64bit kernel
[13:26] <aq2> ubuntu mate seems to support raspberry pi's well
[13:27] <tinyhippo> I dont really want it as a desktop, but I guess I could either remove MATE and associated packages, or just use 15.10 ARM?
[13:28] <aq2> is there really no mini isos for raspberry pis?
[13:28] <teward> tinyhippo: I'd use 15.10, or install MATE then strip it down
[13:28] <teward> tinyhippo: I don't know if there's a 15.10 image though.
[13:28] <aq2> stripping it down may not be that easy though
[13:29] <aq2> but ubuntu mate tends to have nothing but 15.10 images
[13:29] <tinyhippo> aq2: ubuntu 14.04 server for rpi2 is relatively small
[13:29] <aq2> but no mini isos?
[13:29] <aq2> weird
[13:29] <tinyhippo> but large microsd cards are cheap
[13:29] <yeats> !mini
[13:29] <aq2> Yes, i know it and i installed this system from one
[13:29] <tinyhippo> yeats: that doesnt really answer the question :)
[13:29] <aq2> which was fun because i got to choose what i wanted
[13:30] <yeats> tinyhippo: sorry - didn't read back far enough ;-)
[13:30] <tinyhippo> delays > mistakes :}
[13:34] <slavka`> hey all, how can i set my current date and time to melbourne/au
[13:43] <k1l_> tinyhippo: arm hardware might need some special isos due to the fact we dont have generic drivers like on pc hardware. so best is to ask in the device community how to boot ubuntu on that device
[13:50] <BluesKaj> slavka`,  sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
[13:55] <jpmh> I am running standard ubuntu 14.4 - service dovecot status, shows me a running dovecot, service --status-all, does not show it.  What am I missing here
[14:07] <DrDuck> Hello. I was wanting to see if I could get some advice on what Ubuntu distro would best suit my laptop: http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Inspiron-i3552-4041BLK-Laptop-Celeron/dp/B019TTJ8BE
[14:07] <DrDuck> Would the latest be fine? http://releases.ubuntu.com/15.10/
[14:09] <DrDuck> Is there a 32-bit image for Intel processors?
[14:09] <baizon> DrDuck: well i would recommend xubuntu or lubuntu
[14:09] <DrDuck> baizon: Why and which one in particular?
[14:09] <cfhowlett> lubuntu is optimized for older and lower spec hardware DrDuck
[14:09] <baizon> DrDuck: they are more lightweight on resources, check out both and decide by yourself
[14:10] <\9> ubuntu mate also works fine for lower end computers
[14:10] <\9> though it isn't as extremely lightweight as lubuntu or xubuntu
[14:11] <gizmo_> I downloaded the latest ubuntu and its in Chinees mainly, any reason?
[14:11] <cfhowlett> gizmo_, are you in china?
[14:11] <baizon> gizmo_: you picked Chinese as main language?
[14:11] <cfhowlett> and where did you download from?
[14:12] <gizmo_> no UK
[14:12] <cfhowlett> gizmo_, either you chose chinese language or you grabbed ubuntukyllin
[14:12] <gizmo_> I picked english but when browser first opens its Chineese
[14:13] <DrDuck> I think I will go with Lubuntu. With my specs, what type of image would I want? http://lubuntu.net/
[14:13] <DrDuck> x86 or 64-bit
[14:13] <baizon> DrDuck: x86
[14:13] <gizmo_> it was ubuntu kylin whats the latest then ?
[14:13] <cfhowlett> gizmo_, kylin is meant for chinese users.  that what you want?
[14:14] <DrDuck> Thanks, baizon and everyone else!
[14:14] <gizmo_> no I want englis but I thoght ubuntu Kylin was lates
[14:15] <cfhowlett> gizmo_, kylin is a version of ubuntu.  ubuntu 15.10 is the latest.
[14:15] <gizmo_> ok thx
[14:16] <gizmo_> is it much different from verson befor it
[14:17] <cfhowlett> "much" different is subjective.  it's still ubuntu so ...

[14:50] <|\n> hello, is it possible to use ubuntu without plymouth at all?
[14:50] <k1l_> |\n: yes, its just eyecandy
[14:51] <k1l_> |\n: remove "quiet splash" from the grub kernel line
[14:51] <|\n> k1l_, mountall and cryptsetup depend on plymouth package
[14:51] <|\n> so i can't remove it?
[14:51] <j09> Hi, can someone take a moment to help me fix this sound problem I've been having. I've raised it here before but no-one seems to be interested, but this is dricing me mad. Some of my games start with very garbled sound, like it's sped up and distorted. I've tried to record it but all my recording software picks up is this: https://youtu.be/P6odV_Oj
[14:51] <j09> Fbk . I've tried a lot of googling but none of the usual solutions work. Can someone please offer some assistance, this never used to be a problem on Arch.
[14:52] <baizon> |\n: yes, add noplymouth to your grub parameter
[14:52] <dryblow> You can use too nospash on grub to remove from shutdown process.
[14:53] <|\n> i would like to remove plymouth from my distro since i don't need it
[14:53] <baizon> dryblow: that doesnt disable plymouth
[14:53] <baizon> |\n: you cant remove it, because there are dependencies which will break when you remove it
[14:53] <baizon> |\n: so i recommend to disable it
[14:54] <dryblow> baizon, I know, it work well only for splash screen to boot and shutdown processes
[14:54] <|\n> baizon, how comes that eyecandy thing makes a vital portion of base system
[14:54] <|\n> it is disabled but i experience issues
[14:54] <baizon> |\n: what issues?
[14:54] <|\n> for example i see "Wait ofr plymouth boot screen" on systemd startup
[14:55] <|\n> for eternity, only upstart option makes instance still alive
[14:55] <baizon> |\n: its because of driver + systemd issues, disable plymouth and they will go away
[14:56] <|\n> baizon, so "noplymouth" right?
[14:56] <baizon> |\n: yes
[14:56] <|\n> many thanks baizon
[14:56] <baizon> |\n: np
[14:57] <kuzetsa> oh :(
[14:57] <|\n> however it is still weird in terms of dependencies
[14:57] <kuzetsa> plymouth makes me sad, I just remembred why I went back to "basically anything other than ubuntu" last time I tried ubuntu... I wasn't aware it could be disabled O_O
[14:57] <baizon> kuzetsa: yep, one easy step to do this
[14:57] <|\n> kuzetsa, that is my current intention =)
[14:58] <kuzetsa> hmm
[14:59] <kuzetsa> so I recently heard there's now a handy ubuntu-based distro without a linux kernel which is still based on ELF-binaries, yet somehow runs on windows 10... but I heard about it on April 1st and was convinced it was a joke
[14:59] <|\n> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="noplymouth" exactly?
[14:59] <baizon> |\n: https://paste.ubuntu.com/15599329/
[14:59] <j09> export PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60
[14:59] <j09> Can someone help me please, the sound on my games is still messed up.
[14:59] <|\n> yep may thanks baizon
[14:59] <akik> kuzetsa: it's called windows subsystem for linux and it's not a april fools joke
[15:00] <kuzetsa> like... did microsoft really come up with a replacement for interix which can run ELF binaries & supports ubuntu userland with full apt-get support and everything?
[15:00] <cfhowlett> yes but off topic here
[15:01] <zykotick9> baizon: do you know of any documentation for this "noplymouth" option?  are you sure it's not because you've removed "splash quiet"?  |\n
[15:01] <kuzetsa> wait, so if this is #ubuntu and ... ubuntu userland using the ubuntu apt-get distro stuff seems on-topic, is there a channel where that would be less off-topic then?
[15:01] <j09> There must be a way round this
[15:02] <akik> kuzetsa: it has full apt support and uses the same elf binaries as your normal ubuntu installation
[15:02] <|\n> zykotick9, i did remove splash quiet ages ago
[15:02] <kuzetsa> akik: right, so the only difference is not using an ubuntu-provided kernel
[15:02] <SchrodingersScat> !offtopic | kuzetsa, but they may not want it either.  And the way I heard it it was a like a linux-compatibility layer, much like what's in bsd, etc. windows being the only os without such a thing.
[15:02] <cfhowlett> !ot | kuzetsa because your discussing windows stuff
[15:03] <j09> Is this not the support channel? I could really use some help, I've been trying to fix this for 2 days
[15:03] <zykotick9> |\n: interesting...
[15:03] <cfhowlett> !patience | j09,
[15:03] <akik> cfhowlett: come on, it's ubuntu supported by canonical
[15:03] <kuzetsa> !guidelines
[15:04] <cfhowlett> ^^^ this
[15:04] <zykotick9> |\n: you are aware you need to run "sudo update-grub" after making changes right?  just checkin'
[15:05] <|\n> zykotick9, sure, the current issue characters: nvidia optimus, plymouth, systemd, plymouth dependencies
[15:05] <j09> I'm sorry but this is the third time I've been back here and this is literally the first time I've got a response and it's basically for me to shut up and sit down. There's nothing in the forums that works, nothing on Google and I feel completely lost.
[15:06] <zykotick9> |\n: "nvidia optimus" = i have no freakin' idea.  i'm out, best of luck.
[15:06] <cfhowlett> j09, that was absolutely not telling you to "shut up".  It was a gentle reminder to be patient
[15:06] <kuzetsa> for lack of a better place to try ,is #ubuntu-offtopic a good bet?
[15:06] <|\n> zykotick9, just saying =)
[15:07] <|\n> okay i'll get back i hope with systemd and noplymouth to tell if it worked for me
[15:08] <paco_> what is the purpose of executing apt-get update and how often should i do this?
[15:08] <cfhowlett> paco_, man apt-get update             for details.
[15:08] <j09> cfhowlett How many days should i expect to wait?
[15:09] <paco_> tks cfhowlett
[15:09] <fub> Hi. I'm connected to a vpn to get access to a specific network. This works. When I try to access the internet now, it does not work, because it tries to reach it via the vpn.
[15:09] <cfhowlett> paco_, happy2help!
[15:09] <k1l_> paco_: it gets a updated package list from the ubuntu servers. afterwards you need to run "sudo apt full-upgrade" to install those updates
[15:09] <fub> How can I tell my apt-get for example to use a specific interface instead of tap0?
[15:09] <baizon> paco_: if you have scheduled checking for updates enabled, then there is no need to run that command
[15:10] <liceoprova> ciao
[15:10] <zykotick9> k1l_: re: ".. apt full-upgrade" with apt, 9 times out of 10 full-upgrade probably isn't required.  ".. apt upgrade" *will* install new packages (unlike ".. apt-get upgrade").
[15:11] <k1l_> zykotick9: are you sure about that?
[15:12] <zykotick9> k1l_: yes.
[15:12] <cfhowlett> apt upgrade and apt full-upgrade ?
[15:12] <zykotick9> k1l_: note, "full-upgrade" can remove things... while "upgrade" will NOT.
[15:13] <k1l_> zykotick9: ok. so far on apt-get upgrade didnt install updates that needed new packages installed
[15:13] <Dewin> fub: I don't know your specific setup or the best fix, but my guess is that your VPN setup is either altering routes (such that all traffic is being routed through its own route rather than a default) or altering resolv.conf (such that your system is trying to use your VPN's DNS servers to locate things on the internet at large).  You can easily test for the latter by trying ping 8.8.8.8 while connected to the VPN -- if it succeeds, your routing is fine and
[15:13] <Dewin> it's just DNS.
[15:13] <Dewin> so, in absence of a better answer, hopefully that helps you troubleshoot.
[15:13] <zykotick9> k1l_: lets use a kernel update as an example... "apt-get upgrade" won't work, while "apt upgrade" will!
[15:13] <fub> cant ping
[15:14] <|\n> noplymouth works
[15:14] <baizon> |\n: see ;)
[15:14] <k1l_> zykotick9: ok, thanks
[15:16] <j09> Some of my games start with very garbled sound, like it's sped up and distorted. I've tried to record it but all my recording software picks up is this: https://youtu.be/P6odV_OjFbk . I've tried a lot of googling but none of the usual solutions work.
[15:16] <|\n> baizon, somehow i missed the moment where everything was switched to systemd and plymouth became *that important*, maybe you could also give some direction on what should i read through to rule the systemd start jobs in terms of timeouts and stuff?
[15:16] <baizon> |\n: nope sorry, im not into systemd :(
[15:17] <|\n> still many thanks baizon
[15:20] <link0802> hello. my Internet work only if I paste to /etc/resolv.conf -> nameserver 8.8.8.8. How I can fix it?
[15:20] <link0802> ubuntu 15.10
[15:21] <liceoprova> ciao
[15:36] <Rubbel_LORD> drachenlord
[15:37] <DrDuck> I've installed Lubuntu. Is there a easy way to decrease laptop touchpad sensitivity?
[15:38] <j09> Is there anything I can do to work on this problem at all? I don't know if my error is to specific for a general support forum, but there doesn't seem to be success in the forums and I don't really knwo where else to look.
[15:42] <j09> This error seems reasonably easy to fix on Arch by adjusting a latency setting in PulseAudio, but the same fix didn't work here.
[15:43] <ikonia> j09: the reason you're not getting any help from anyone with any solid technical ability is your attitude
[15:43] <jlbej> hello. I dont know how to delete the .Trash-1000 folder on Ubuntu
[15:44] <jlbej> deleting does nothing
[15:44] <ikonia> jlbej: how are you deleting it
[15:44] <jlbej> delete Trash folder via nautilus
[15:45] <ikonia> the trash folder, or the .Trash-1000 folder
[15:45] <jlbej> delete key - delete all - nothing happens
[15:45] <jlbej> .Trash-1000 folder on my SD card
[15:45] <ikonia> what file system is on the SD card
[15:46] <jlbej> how do I find that out?
[15:46] <jlbej> msdos
[15:46] <jlbej> eww
[15:46] <ikonia> ok, so a fat file system
[15:46] <ikonia> why eww ?
[15:46] <jlbej> isnt that microsoft? ;)
[15:46] <ikonia> so ?
[15:47] <j09> ikonia I'm sorry to be a nag. I really am, but I feel so defeated when I have to work on an error or a bug for days before I can find any help.
[15:47] <jlbej> no, everything is fine
[15:47] <ikonia> you can't get help as you ask - then rage quit when someone doesn't help you in 5 minutes
[15:47] <ikonia> jlbej: then you come back and tell people to shut up
[15:47] <ikonia> jlbej: sorry - not you
[15:48] <ikonia> j09: then you come back and tell people to shut up
[15:48] <zykotick9> jlbej: now that canonical and microsoft are partners... probably best not to bad mouth them here ;)  </OT>
[15:48] <ikonia> it doesn't inspire anyone to invest any time in helping you - it's certain why I've been ignoring your requests for help
[15:48] <j09> ikonia I'm sorry, I don't think I told anyone to shut up.
[15:48] <ikonia> jlbej: so the fact that you can "see" a .trash file system
[15:49] <ikonia> j09: not word for word, I grant you,
[15:49] <ikonia> my apologies, I miss-read that
[15:49] <jlbej> uhm..
[15:49] <Nh3xus> that is shiiiiit
[15:50] <ikonia> Nh3xus: please don't swear
[15:50] <ikonia> jlbej: are you comfortable using a terminal at all ?
[15:50] <jlbej> yes.
[15:50] <jlbej> I am.
[15:50] <Nh3xus> asking that to a Ubuntuoooooo user ?
[15:50] <Nh3xus> heh
[15:50] <ikonia> jlbej: what happens if you delete it in the terminal
[15:50] <Nh3xus> I'm having a jiggle
[15:50] <ikonia> Nh3xus: please stop messing around
[15:52] <jlbej> ikonia: yea now its gone
[15:52] <jlbej> heh
[15:52] <jlbej> I tried it on another SD card, It didnt work there.
[15:52] <ikonia> check it in nautlius now, is it gone still ?
[15:53] <jlbej> yea, on another SDcard, I can't access the file tree
[15:53] <dbugger> Hey fellas. I have some trouble. With LAN cable I get speeds of 50Mbit, but with my WiFi card I dont go past 17Mbit, even though Im quite sure my card support the proper protocols. It is a "Qualcomm Atheros AR9287". Do I need special drivers?
[15:54] <jlbej> ls shows nothing .Trash-1000 doesnt seem to exist
[15:54] <gizmo_> Iǘe just set up chat in Thunderbird is it working?
[15:54] <j09> is there an ubuntu games support channel that might be more familiar with the problem?
[15:54] <jlbej> ikonia: yes, it was away in nautilus as well
[15:57] <zykotick9> jlbej: are you using "ls -a" just checkin'
[15:57] <jlbej> ls -a is showing . and ..
[15:57] <zykotick9> jinie: ok.
[15:58] <jlbej> ohhh
[15:58] <jlbej> apparently I dont know how to use the terminal :(
[15:59] <jlbej> so what happened was that I used tab autocomplete to get into the folder.
[15:59] <jlbej> but there were many folders with the same name except for the last letters
[16:00] <jlbej> so I cded into a folder that does not exist. how is that even possible?
[16:00] <jlbej> can you do things like that in /media/?
[16:01] <jlbej> though I wonder whats going on with nautilus
[16:02] <j09> Should I come back later with my error?
[16:04] <jlbej> so I'll be fine for now
[16:04] <jlbej> thanks for you support
[16:06] <SteveBur> I have an old mother board with one pcie x1 and one pcie x16 slot.  From a command line, can I find out which slot is used (the x1 or the x16)?
[16:06] <fastone_workshop> hi all))
[16:09] <SteveBur> fastone_workshop: Nice to be friendly, but do you have a question?
[16:09] <SteveBur> fastone_workshop: or an answer?
[16:13] <stacy-> does wordpress need to be resolvable for it to be added as part of ubuntu?
[16:14] <ikonia> stacy-: wordpress.com or your site URL ?
[16:15] <stacy-> ikonia.. inside joomal as an extension
[16:15] <ikonia> stacy-: wordpress is a CMS
[16:16] <stacy-> ikonia..does wordpress site need to be viewable ? can worpress be added to ubuntu as a cms
[16:16] <ikonia> stacy-: what are you talking about ???
[16:16] <Pici> stacy-: you mean wordpress.com?
[16:16] <stacy-> pici..yes
[16:17] <ikonia> stacy-: what EXACTLY are you trying to do
[16:17] <Pici> stacy-: no, you can run a wordpress instance on your server without wordpress.com being viewable.
[16:17] <ioria> SteveBur, have you tried   sudo dmidecode --type 9   ?
[16:17] <stacy-> pici... anyway around that?
[16:17] <ikonia> Pici: she appears to be trying to use it as some sort of joomal plugin
[16:17] <ikonia> stacy-: anyway around what ?
[16:17] <Pici> stacy-: around what?
[16:17] <ikonia> stacy-: what EXACTLY are you trying to do
[16:18] <stacy-> ikonia.. i am trying to use wordpress templates
[16:18] <SteveBur> ioria: Not yet. I'm a newbie at this
[16:18] <ikonia> you don't have a wordpress install
[16:18] <Pici> stacy-: okay, so you need to install wordpress to do that.
[16:18] <ikonia> so how are you trying to use templates
[16:18] <stacy-> pici.. pici.. if i install wordpress do i need to be able to view the wordpress site?
[16:18] <Pici> stacy-: no
[16:19] <stacy-> i guess i cant use wordpress as a cms :(
[16:19] <ikonia> stacy-: again, as I've said 10+ times to you over the last few weeks, you are running before walking
[16:19] <ikonia> stacy-: you do not understand web hosting, web design or the software you are looking at using
[16:19] <Pici> stacy-: er. Thats appears to be the opposite of what I said.
[16:19] <stacy-> ikonia.. i am trying to get a template with easy configeration
[16:19] <ikonia> you will fail with this level of knowledge
[16:19] <ikonia> stacy-: template for what ?
[16:20] <stacy-> ikonia..any webstore template
[16:20] <stacy-> for testing
[16:20] <ikonia> stacy-: for what
[16:20] <ikonia> (for what application)
[16:20] <true_techie> i just installed python from source but i forgot to add a flag to "configure". how can i do a recompile?
[16:20] <SteveBur> ioria: All the reactions to that command come back "Current status : Available"
[16:20] <stacy-> ikonia... for joomal
[16:20] <ikonia> true_techie: clean it, reconfigure, recompile
[16:20] <Pici> true_techie: also, why are you installing python from source?
[16:20] <ikonia> stacy-: then why are you looking at wordpress templates for jamoola
[16:21] <ioria> SteveBur, so not in use
[16:21] <stacy-> ikonia..if its possible yes.. from wordpress
[16:21] <ikonia> jommla sorry
[16:21] <ikonia> stacy-: no no no no no no
[16:21] <ikonia> stacy-: you are causing problems for yourself
[16:21] <true_techie> Pici, this version of ubuntu has a python version that keeps cause an SNIWARNING whenever i make a request
[16:21] <true_techie> causing*
[16:22] <stacy-> ikonia.. i could not find a basic simple template from joomal... it seemed all were news templates
[16:22] <true_techie> ikonia, how do i clean it?
[16:22] <SteveBur> ioria: What is not in use?  I thought that my video card used either a pcie x1 or x16 slot.  I can only see that the only slot used is a simple pci slot, then?
[16:22] <stacy-> any webstore templates for joomal?
[16:22] <ikonia> stacy-: again, I've told you 10+ times - you are making a mess because you are just rushing in with no understanding of what you are doing or what you are using or why
[16:22] <ikonia> stacy-: talk to the guys in #joomla about how to use jaoomla
[16:23] <j09> I'm running Ubuntu 15.10 64bit with some USB headphones. Many of my steam games are playing with distorted sounds which seem to be a pulseaudio error. I've tried to record an example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLdmMSQNvWA .
[16:24] <stacy-> i downloaded templates from free joomal templates sites.. and it caused module problems ..i have opened up a can of warmes.. are there any store website templates for joomal free for testing?
[16:25] <mohammad> hello
[16:25] <ikonia> stacy-: talk to the guys in #joomla - it's clear you will not do the required research, and #ubuntu is not here to support your web development

[16:32] <ikonia> many people are here
[16:33] <ChunkzZ> how do I get dhcp working with wifi?
[16:33] <ikonia> ChunkzZ: it needs to do the wifi handshake before making a dhcp client request
[16:33] <ChunkzZ> ikonia, how do I do that mate?
[16:33] <ikonia> ChunkzZ: you need to make sure you wifi connection is setup first
[16:33] <ikonia> ChunkzZ: what version of ubuntu are you using ?
[16:33] <ChunkzZ> ikonia, it's setup and working. 14.04.04
[16:34] <Guest94217> i need to use atom editor for android developing i see this link do it very well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNURJuxSdO0 but my atom in ubuntu doesnt has this feauture
[16:34] <ikonia> ChunkzZ: if it's setup and working, why are you asking me how to do it ?
[16:34] <ChunkzZ> ikonia, I'm asking how to get dhcp working...
[16:34] <ikonia> ChunkzZ: how did you setup the wifi
[16:34] <ChunkzZ> it was done auto...
[16:34] <ikonia> it can't be done auto
[16:34] <j09> I still have problems with crackling game audio, is anyone available to help please? I'm running Ubuntu 15.10 64bit with some USB headphones. Many of my steam games are playing with distorted sounds which seem to be a pulseaudio error. I've tried to record an example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLdmMSQNvWA .
[16:34] <ChunkzZ> I put my password in, of course.
[16:34] <ikonia> so how did you do it ChunkzZ
[16:35] <ikonia> ChunkzZ: so you used the little network manager app in the top right of the screen ?
[16:35] <ChunkzZ> through networkmanager
[16:35] <ikonia> perfect
[16:35] <ChunkzZ> yeah ikonia
[16:35] <Katronix> If we are using the server version of Ubuntu (or using Ubuntu on a server) is there a better channel to ask qs in?
[16:35] <ikonia> ChunkzZ: so in that connection if the IP address is set to dhcp - it will make a dhcp request for you after it connects to the wifi
[16:35] <ikonia> Katronix: you've not asked a question so far
[16:36] <Katronix> ikonia: okay :) for a new domain I've added I'm being told there isn't a SOA record, however I do have the following: http://pastebin.com/aqPiR9e7 isn't that an SOA record?
[16:37] <ikonia> Katronix: where are you being told this ?
[16:37] <Katronix> ikonia: http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools#dnsReport|type=domain&&value=humetricspiq.com
[16:37] <Guest94217> i need to use atom editor for android developing i see this link do it very well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNURJuxSdO0 but my atom in ubuntu doesnt has this feauture
[16:37] <ikonia> Katronix: where are you being told you don't have an SOA
[16:38] <Katronix> ikonia: on that last URL I gave you plus if you go to the domain, it comes up saying err_name_not_resolved in chrome
[16:39] <ikonia> because you have no records
[16:39] <DaveNJ> So I have 14.04 and I'm having an issue with NVidia drivers. Wondering if someone could help me out? I've kinda exhausted what I'm able to do with the brain I'm given ;p
[16:40] <Katronix> ikonia: http://pastebin.com/F7yfevM1 here is the full bind9 configuration, I previously only pasted the first part
[16:41] <DaveNJ> I'm running a GTX 950 with 352.xx and there just seems to be some level of screen draw lag. It's mostly visual effects. They just kind of stutter. It wasn't an issue in my GTX 660 (which was my previous card that just died)
[16:41] <ikonia> Katronix: your DNS server is refuing to be SOA for that record
[16:41] <ikonia> query the domain against the SOA server
[16:41] <ikonia> it looks like it's not terminated with a . but I obviously can't see that config
[16:42] <DaveNJ> I've run GLXgears and the frame-rate is well over 1k so there's no problem with that. I'm thinking maybe I should try connecting the monitor via HDMI
[16:42] <Katronix> ikonia: just to be sure, the SOA server should be the DNS server?
[16:42] <ikonia> Katronix: the SOA should be the host acting as SOA
[16:43] <ikonia> Katronix: the two servers you have listed as name servers do not know about that domain
[16:43] <Katronix> ikonia: okay
[16:48] <Lectus> Hey guys
[16:49] <Katronix> ikonia: any suggestion which file needs to be updated?
[16:49] <ikonia> I'd look at the dns server logs - find out why it doesn't know about that zone
[16:49] <Lectus> I have an ASUS laptop and I want to completely remove windows from it and install Ubuntu... how can I configure the keyboard so all keys work like they do on Windows?
[16:50] <ikonia> Lectus: the OS is different, so very few keyboard short cuts are the same or relevent to each other
[16:50] <Lectus> I want the keys like question marks to work properly
[16:50] <ikonia> question mark is not a shortcut
[16:55] <Lectus> I don`t mean shortcuts... i mean normal keys that are in different positions
[16:55] <virtual_z> hi I have windows installation on 2nd hdd and I want to install ubuntu on ssd (main drive connected to pc) but I wonder where to install grub loader while installing ubuntu to have dual boot ?
[16:55] <|\n> Lectus, maybe it would help https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/extra_keyboard_keys
[16:56] <j09> |\n could Lectus's issue be in setting the correct regional keyboard?
[16:56] <|\n> j09, could be, let us ask Lectus if it is
[16:57] <Bashing-om> virtual_z: Install grub to the Master Boot Record sector of the SSD (sda). once installed, run terminal command ' sudo update-grub " to pickup the Windows operating system and chaninload onto ubuntu's grub boot menu .
[16:59] <virtual_z> Bashing-om: I mean here http://www.linuxbsdos.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/UbuntuExt1-600x414.png
[17:00] <virtual_z> Bashing-om: should I do something else except from a fresh install to make ubuntu's grub can boot both ubuntu and windows ?
[17:00] <Leptospire> Hey folks, I am having trouble setting up my network on a lubuntu server in my home. When I connect the computer via ethernet, I have networking but no internet. When I connect the computer via wifi, I have internet. Can anyone help me out? http://pastebin.com/vWVjzyEX
[17:02] <Bashing-om> virtual_z: Yepper, ya want it as is presently. 'sda' . But be carteful what you are doing . as the sdb is marked as unknown . Is Windows installed in EFI mode AND you are installing ubuntu in legacy ??
[17:02] <virtual_z> Bashing-om: I don't know about them.. EFI and legeacy modes
[17:03] <Bashing-om> !uefi | virtual_z
[17:03] <virtual_z> Bashing-om: the picture is not mine, I just wanted to show you which screen I'm talking about. it says "device for boot loader installation"
[17:04] <Bashing-om> virtual_z: Then show us what is yours / ' sudo parted -l ' in a pastebin site .
[17:04] <virtual_z> Bashing-om: no no
[17:04] <virtual_z> Bashing-om: I'll install not yet installed
[17:05] <virtual_z> Bashing-om: I just want to make things true
[17:06] <virtual_z> Bashing-om: I installed windows on 2nd hdd and I'll install ubuntu on ssd. so what I try to make is that I want grub welcomes me when I power on pc and I can select wheter to boot in ubuntu or windows..
[17:06] <virtual_z> so you're saying I should install grub loader into ssd not 2nd hdd, Bashing-om ?
[17:07] <virtual_z> then it will auto detect my windows installation and all goes well do you think?
[17:07] <virtual_z> or I must run sudo update-grub ?
[17:13] <virtual_z> Bashing-om: hello ?
[17:16] <Bashing-om> virtual_z: Back .. Yes ! install grub to the ssd. set the boot priorory in bios as the SSD as 1st priority . Yhe boot code on the Haed drive will not be touched . You chaninload wWindows to ubuntu . IF for any reason rhe SSD fails to boot, changing the boot priority will boot Windows .
[17:17] <Lectus> hey
[17:17] <virtual_z> ok Bashing-om do you think ubuntu installation I mean grub will auto detect windows installation on the other drive and add it to the grub menu ? so that I can select which one to boot.
[17:17] <Lectus> I on the ubuntu installation I choose to automatically wipe out everything will it create a separate /home partition?
[17:18] <tyler> hi there
[17:18] <Lectus> what's the best partition scheme for a 750GB hd?
[17:18] <tyler> is there anybody in ?
[17:18] <Bashing-om> virtual_z: Yes. there is the tool, 'os-prober' that when invoked will pickup Windows on that Hard deive, and add it to the boot menu .
[17:18] <EriC^^> Lectus: let it do partition by itself
[17:19] <EriC^^> Lectus: it'll just make a "/" with no boot or home
[17:19] <virtual_z> Bashing-om: I'm sure my bios supports UEFI and I have legacy enabled on BIOS. do I need something to arrange about them to install Ubuntu ?
[17:19] <Lectus> EriC^^: yeah. but having a separate /home is better. my question is if the automatic method will do it
[17:19] <EriC^^> Lectus: no it wont
[17:20] <BluesKaj> Lectus, separate / and /home partitions are , best to use manual partitioning
[17:20] <BluesKaj> kak "something " else in the partitioner
[17:20] <BluesKaj> aka
[17:20] <Lectus> ok... so how much space for / and /home on a 750GB hard disk?
[17:20] <Bashing-om> virtual_z: You want ubuntu installed in the same mode as Windows is installed . Makes life MUCH simpler .
[17:20] <virtual_z> ok
[17:21] <Lectus> I probably need /,/home and /swap... how much for each one?
[17:21] <EriC^^> Lectus: root about 20gb, swap as much as ram, and the rest home
[17:21] <BluesKaj> Lectus, yes and a swap if needed
[17:21] <EriC^^> Lectus: if you're using uefi then you need an efi partition etc, the installer will say
[17:22] <Lectus> yes... using uefi... this asus note came with windows preinstalled and a recovery partition
[17:22] <Bashing-om> virtual_z: EFI == GPT partitioning. much better scheme than the legacy .
[17:22] <mohammad> hello
[17:22] <Lectus> I want to wipe out everything and install ubuntu
[17:22] <EriC^^> Lectus: ok, create a 300mb efi partition too
[17:24] <Guest4567> i did sudo apt-get purge atom , how can i have a fresh install of atom when i do sudo apt-get install atom it installs very soon without process
[17:24] <Guest4567> i see my before project on atom while i have purged it what should i do for fresh install ?
[17:24] <Guest4567> i did sudo apt-get purge atom , how can i have a fresh install of atom when i do sudo apt-get install atom it installs very soon without process
[17:25] <Guest4567> EriC^^, hello
[17:26] <k1l_> Guest4567: remove the hidden folder for atom in your home folder
[17:28] <Guest4567> k1l_, do you know what is difference between atom and atom 4 ?
[17:28] <k1l_> !info atom4
[17:28] <Bashing-om> Guest4567: Reason ot os fast in re-installing, the .deb is in residence ' ls -al /var/cache/apt/archives/ ' .
[17:28] <k1l_> atom4 is not the atom editor.
[17:29] <tele> hez

[17:38] <seadusc> I have problem with GRUB, first I change my mainboard and it make me stuck at grub loading whenever i put on both SSD and HDD
[17:38] <seadusc> then i tried to fix, change priority into HDD over SSD, it show grub rescue
[17:39] <seadusc> I change back, it doesn't stuck at grub loading anymore, but stuck at black screen instead
[17:39] <seadusc> i use dual boot ubuntu and windows
[17:39] <V7> Hello there !! :D
[17:39] <V7> seadusc: As 90% :D
[17:39] <V7> joke
[17:39] <lotuspsychje> seadusc: wich hd are you going to use? hdd or ssd?
[17:40] <seadusc> actually both, i use ssd for OS and hdd for data
[17:40] <V7> seadusc: Right !
[17:40] <V7> As me !
[17:40] <V7> :D
[17:40] <seadusc> it has no problem when i remove hdd though

[17:41] <Guest4567> i saw a link on youtube but that person did android programing on mac with atom i cant see his options here in ubuntu

[17:45] <Tin_man> linux version of .net
[17:45] <ChunkzZ> thanks ikonia sorted it, you're a star.
[17:45] <lotuspsychje> seadusc: did you change bios from IDE to AHCI
[17:46] <Tin_man> http://www.monodevelop.com/
[17:47] <seadusc> lotuspsychje: yes it's on AHCI
[17:47] <seadusc> if you mean by SATA
[17:50] <wellick> hi, I can't open a directory that exists :/
[17:50] <B0g4r7_> So, when booting with root on lvm, grub appears to look for the lv based on its "lvmid", as shown in grub.cfg.  Where does this ID come from?
[17:50] <MonkeyDust> wellick  what happens when you ry
[17:50] <MonkeyDust> try*
[17:50] <wellick> oh wait
[17:50] <wellick> touch creates a file not a directory
[17:50] <wellick> silly me
[17:52] <artei> o
[17:52] <Tin_man> i might be behind, but what is touch? wellick ?
[17:53] <wellick> touch file1
[17:53] <wellick> creates an empty file
[17:53] <Katronix> Tin_man: touch is a command that creates a file with 0 bytes
[17:53] <Tin_man> ok, learn every day..
[17:53] <Tin_man> didn't know that
[17:54] <Tin_man> give it a try
[17:55] <Fleuv> hilx, how do I add a restart application option at the launcher icons?
[17:55] <Fleuv> hi*
[17:55] <Tin_man> by God your right, .txt file i guess, have tried opening it up with nano
[17:55] <Tin_man> have'nt *
[17:55] <B0g4r7_> I'm trying to use lvmcache on rootfs, and when I add the cache, the rootlv's ID changes.  I need to know how to determine the new ID.  blkid is not it, it's some other id.
[17:57] <B0g4r7_> touch will also update the "modified" timestamp if used on an existing file or directory.
[17:58] <Tin_man> wouldn't you want that behavior ? otherwise might screw up a bunch..
[18:00] <B0g4r7_> OK, I found the IDs needed.  lvdisplay and vgdisplay show me.
[18:00] <seadusc> lotuspsychje: any update?
[18:01] <lotuspsychje> seadusc: need more details on it mate, was this an existing dualboot? fresh dualboot? when did things start to go wrong?
[18:02] <seadusc> ok, from the start, i just get my mainboard change, before it work fine
[18:02] <ddrj> hey guys, I want to uninstall rtorrent and rutorrent but NOT its dependencies through terminal. from what i've read online the apt-get remove command removes the dependencies...
[18:02] <lotuspsychje> seadusc: same mobo? or another brand?
[18:02] <seadusc> same mobo, laptop mobo
[18:02] <seadusc> change from factory
[18:03] <seadusc> after changed, i can't get into GRUB anymore whenever i install both SSD and HDD
[18:03] <seadusc> when i hold shift, it appear that it stuck in GRUB loading
[18:04] <ai> Is anyone here?
[18:04] <seadusc> i tried boot-repair and reinstalling but it's still the same
[18:04] <k1l_> ai: just ask :)
[18:04] <MonkeyDust> ai  type   /names
[18:04] <lotuspsychje> !recovergrub | seadusc perhaps try this?
[18:04] <seadusc> but it work fine when I remove HDD
[18:04] <ai> I asked this in Gnome channel but no response.....
[18:04] <ai> Hey guys. Anyone mind helping me out? I have Simple scan on Ubuntu 14.04 that is version 3.12.1 but on Ubuntu 15.10 it is version 3.18. When I want to test mt all-in-one printer/scanner....my printer will work under 14.04 but scanner will not be detected. However, when I try 15.10 my scanner and printers are working. I did many tests with many different distros and EVERY single one that used Simple Scan 3.12.x did NOT work and higher than that did. So my
[18:04] <ai> question is: Is there a way to install 3.16/3.18 of Simple Scan on Ubuntu 14.04. I followed instruction on main site but when I do them it says something like it cannot be found or does not match.
[18:05] <seadusc> ubottu no, it's not after installing Windows
[18:05] <MonkeyDust> ai  simpkle scan sits in the repos, use apt install
[18:05] <seadusc> lol
[18:05] <ai> I did use it but did not work
[18:06] <ai> It does not allow me to upgrade...I even uninstalled 3.12
[18:06] <seadusc> lotuspsychje yep i've
[18:06] <seadusc> tried
[18:06] <Tin_man> http://www.howtogeek.com/114884/how-to-repair-grub2-when-ubuntu-wont-boot/
[18:06] <MonkeyDust> ai  sudo apt install simple-scan
[18:06] <ai> The only thing it allowed me to do is to upgrade from 3.12.1 to 3.12.3
[18:06] <ai> I did
[18:06] <seadusc> then i tried swap priority, from ssd first to hdd first
[18:07] <seadusc> it show grub rescue instead
[18:07] <seadusc> i tried to fix rescue and it's still the same, so i change back to ssd first
[18:07] <Bashing-om> seadusc: lotuspsychje Compare ' sudo blkid ' and ' cat/etc/fstab ' that the UUIDs match .
[18:07] <seadusc> then it doesn't stuck at grub loading anymore
[18:07] <lotuspsychje> seadusc: not sure i understand you correctly..why do you swap hd priority when main Os is ssd?
[18:07] <seadusc> but stuck at black screen
[18:07] <k1l_> !info simple-scan trusty
[18:07] <seadusc> i don't know, just try everything
[18:08] <thinky> hi
[18:08] <thinky> is it possible to disable timing for GRUB2?
[18:08] <thinky> 8 seconds is too short
[18:08] <uriel_l> hi there
[18:08] <lotuspsychje> !grub | thinky
[18:09] <Tin_man> http://www.howtogeek.com/114884/how-to-repair-grub2-when-ubuntu-wont-boot/
[18:09] <lotuspsychje> seadusc: keep ssd on 1st boot, if you cant enter grub to load Os anymore, recover grub or reinstall?
[18:09] <virtual_z> Bashing-om: which one do you advise? 1 install windows with uefi mode and install ubuntu on another hdd and grub can boot on both ? 2 install windows with legacy mode and install ubuntu on another hdd and grub can boot on both ?
[18:10] <seadusc> lotuspsychje i've tried both recover and reinstall, but it didn't work for some reason
[18:10] <lotuspsychje> seadusc: perhaps factory reset of mobo scrambled your uefi settings for dualboot?
[18:10] <seadusc> and it's weird that there's no problem when i remove hdd
[18:10] <lotuspsychje> !uefi | seadusc
[18:10] <ai> Does anyone know?
[18:10] <effectnet> what does 'live' mean with the cd? that you can boot from it?
[18:11] <k1l_> ai: i still dont know what the issue is? you have 14.04 and want another version of simple-scan?
[18:11] <lotuspsychje> !live | effectnet
[18:11] <effectnet> :D
[18:11] <ai> Yes. I am stuck with 3.12.x
[18:11] <ai> I need 3.18 in order for it to work
[18:11] <k1l_> ai: yes. the programs in the repos are not updated.
[18:11] <Tin_man> but you have access to the web, and the grub rescue..
[18:12] <k1l_> ai: so either you update your ubuntu release or you look out for a  PPA or you build it your own
[18:12] <virtual_z> installing windows on uefi mode or legacy mode is advised so that ubuntu install on the other hdd can easily handle either booting two os ?
[18:13] <ai> I am a Windows user willing to switch to Linux....for past 5 days looking what distro to get and Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 sounds good as that is VERY stable for my PC but cannot get my scanner to work with SS 3.12.x. In other words: I know noting about Linux nor I know how to do it. I followed the instructions and it did not work.
[18:14] <effectnet> i am having trouble getting an old sony vaio machine to boot the usb
[18:14] <MonkeyDust> !manual | ai
[18:14] <k1l_> ai: ubutnu 15.10 ships with simple-scan 3.18
[18:14] <B0g4r7_> seadusc, check the SATA controller mode in the bios, AHCI vs legacy or IDE.
[18:14] <lotuspsychje> effectnet: there is a handy 'plop boot manager' cd that can force old machines to boot from usb
[18:15] <effectnet> oh wow
[18:15] <effectnet> thx i might have to do something like that
[18:15] <B0g4r7_> neat
[18:15] <effectnet> i am just trying again now, had the wrong image anyway :P
[18:15] <lotuspsychje> effectnet: but normally vaio's should be able to boot ubuntu usb..
[18:15] <ai> Yes I know but 15.10 does not work for me. :( not stable. Heck 16.04 is more stable than 15.10.
[18:15] <lotuspsychje> effectnet: sure you made the usb correctly?
[18:15] <effectnet> i hope i did somelthing wrong
[18:16] <effectnet> thx working on it now
[18:16] <seadusc> B0g4r7_ it's AHCI
[18:16] <k1l_> ai: no
[18:16] <effectnet> wow it was easy to install ubuntu on this box
[18:16] <k1l_> ai: 15.10 and 14.04 are both stable. ubuntu only relases stable versions.
[18:17] <B0g4r7_> AHCI is what I like.  You can try it the other way and see if it makes a difference.
[18:17] <k1l_> ai: the difference is, that 14.04 got 5 years support. while 15.10 is only supported until july 2016
[18:18] <ai> I understand...but 14.04 gives me no issue whatsoever (other than SS issue) but 15.10 does not like my nVidia card. It does not work.
[18:18] <lotuspsychje> effectnet: lookup your laptops boot keys, in most cases F12 to choose usb
[18:18] <effectnet> k
[18:18] <ai> That is for me and my system (not in general).
[18:18] <lemurcikas> Hi. I installed Ubuntu 16 and after trying to apt-get update I can't update, because http://lt.archive.ubuntu.com is unreachable. What to do? Maybe I need to change mirror?
[18:18] <lotuspsychje> lemurcikas: ubuntu 16.04 support in #ubuntu+1
[18:19] <MonkeyDust> ai  ok, so you have an nvidia issue, start there
[18:19] <virtual_z> http://linuxbsdos.com/2014/05/31/dual-boot-ubuntu-14-04-windows-7-on-a-pc-with-2-hdds-and-uefi-firmware/ < here they advise to create EFI partition for dual boot but doesn't grub installation make its own partitions or something? do I need to make a partition for EFI partition for a normal ubuntu installation ?
[18:19] <seadusc> lotuspsychje where should i place GRUB? all disks?
[18:20] <lotuspsychje> !grub | seadusc
[18:20] <ai> I am new to Linux not an expert. Last thing I need is my nvidia issue on 15.10. I do not know how to updtae/install simple app without instructions and yet to fix a bigger problem. Anyways, if it is not possible to install/upgrade SS on 14.04 then I guess I will have to wait 16.04.
[18:22] <virtual_z> do I need to make a partition for EFI partition for a normal ubuntu installation ?
[18:22] <k1l_> ai: there is a 3.12.3 update waiting for 14.04. it should come in the next days
[18:22] <MonkeyDust> ai  were you able to try/use SS in 15.10 ?
[18:22] <ai> Speaking of 16.04....I got no issues other than nVidia and some random "crash" msg that does not effect me. Speaking of nvidia...that is ONLY if I install nvidia drivers but if I use those "free" drivers (whatever they are called) it works fine.
[18:22] <ai> Yes it works on 15.10 and  16.04
[18:23] <MonkeyDust> ai  ok, then deal with the nvidia issue in 15.10, yu can come to this channel for it
[18:23] <ai> The reason t works it's because 15.10 has SS 3.18 and 16.04 has 3.20
[18:23] <django_> is there a ubuntu shooter i can play
[18:23] <django_> not graphic heavy
[18:24] <ai> Can I tell you what problem I have with nVidia so maybe there is a link to follow?
[18:24] <django_> ai, just ask
[18:24] <B0g4r7_> I'm really disliking grub today.
[18:25] <k1l_> !games | django_
[18:27] <ai> I have used FULL disk to install Ubuntu 15.10. I used encryption as well as encryption for Home folder. Once installed and all updates are applied I get no problem (I can use the system). Once I go in to get my nvidia drivers 358.xx installed and try to reboot i get that screen before the boot to put my password in but nothing hapens. if i let it sit for a time it will give me an error msg that cannot boot. i tried to follow the instructions to manually remove
[18:27] <ai> and install latest 361.xx drivers and that did not fix it but I managed to install. In other workds...I have to do full reinstall for it to work.
[18:29] <ai> However, If I do not install my nvidia drivers then at that screen that is asking for my pass before log in it is BLANK. I put my password and hit enter and then it will go to my desktop. This does not happen with my 14.04.
[18:32] <MonkeyDust> ai  my advice: don't use encryption if you're just starting to learn things
[18:32] <ai> The reason I install nvidia drivers is because without it I get heavy screen tearing while browsing, youtube and movies.
[18:33] <seadusc> lotuspsychje done it, it's back stucking at grub loading
[18:33] <ai> may I ask what is the reason?
[18:33] <ai> Is there something specific about it?
[18:35] <afrokarlsson> hi do you know that churchpolice has left human leg in right leg and driver have r
[18:35] <Bashing-om> virtual_z: You are making this more difficult than it is . How about .. disconnect the hard drive, set EFI to boot the installer in EFI mode, and let the install wizard take care of all the details ?
[18:37] <alexrocha> Ola.
[18:39] <RustyShackleford> too early to try 16.04 LTS?
[18:39] <RustyShackleford> should be pretty stable right now i'd think
[18:39] <Bashing-om> !16.04 | RustyShackleford
[18:39] <k1l_> RustyShackleford: if you need to ask dont use alphas or betas :)  support for 16.04 in #ubuntu+1
[18:40] <RustyShackleford> hah beta for another 3 weeks
[18:40] <RustyShackleford> dude I can't wait that long!
[18:40] <RustyShackleford> suppose I could try it in a VM
[18:41] <alexandre__> hi guys
[18:42] <alexandre__> hi
[18:42] <EriC^^> hi
[18:42] <EriC^^> !ask
[18:43] <alexandre__> whats up here?
[18:43] <EriC^^> ubuntu support
[18:43] <j09> I'm running Ubuntu 15.10 64bit with some USB headphones. Many of my steam games are playing with distorted sounds which seem to be a pulseaudio error. I've tried to record an example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLdmMSQNvWA .
[18:44] <MonkeyDust> alexandre__  this channel is for ubuntu support
[18:45] <alexandre__> i see it.. thank's MonkeyDust,, by
[18:45] <alexandre__> bye
[18:52] <effectnet> yeah this sony viao doesn't wanna boot usb from what i gather.  so i guess i'll just use a dvd.
[18:55] <effectnet> i download the iso and use unetbootin ritght?
[18:56] <Urs0> Hello. :)
[18:58] <ai> My user account is set to normal user with diff. password than the root/admin. Is there a way to run within my account a terminal in root? I ask because I am trying to do something and it is asking for a password in terminal for the admin (that I am not).
[18:58] <ai> *as
[18:59] <craptalk> ai: you forgot your root pass?
[18:59] <craptalk> or did you ever changed it before?
[18:59] <k1l> ai: there is no root login.
[18:59] <k1l> !sudo | ai
[19:00] <ai> No I know it but it is asking for my "ai" user password and when I type I get this...
[19:00] <ai> [sudo] password for ai:
[19:00] <ai> Sorry, try again.
[19:00] <ai> but....
[19:00] <k1l> ai: its your own password
[19:01] <k1l> ai: the same that you use to login.
[19:01] <ai> ai is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[19:01] <k1l> ai: is ai the user you created on installation process?
[19:02] <ai> I have separated my user account and made it the same as it is in Debian (separate users from root). Yes it is.
[19:02] <k1l> ai: ok, so you messed with your system
[19:02] <ai> yes
[19:02] <ai> I am learning :)
[19:04] <ai> Not when I try sudo command it does not ask for my root user but for myself. however, when trying to run UNetBootIn it will ask for root password and I will provide it ad program will start. Not sure why terminal is not doing the same.
[19:04] <k1l> ubuntu is setup to use it the ubuntu way. if you want to leave the ubuntu way there are things that might not work anymore.
[19:04] <megapixel> hello
[19:04] <ai> *Now
[19:12] <eferreira> hey, I'm having a bit of trouble installing some 32 bit libraries, can anyone help me?
[19:13] <j09> I'm going to go and see if I can solve this problem on my own then. I'm just letting you know that I'm leaving so you guys don't shout at me like you did the last time.
[19:14] <eferreira> whats your issue
[19:14] <eferreira> i just got here
[19:14] <j09> eferreira I'm running Ubuntu 15.10 64bit with some USB headphones. Many of my steam games are playing with distorted sounds which seem to be a pulseaudio error. I've tried to record an example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLdmMSQNvWA .
[19:14] <k1l> eferreira: what issues do you have? put the output into paste.ubuntu.com and show the link here
[19:15] <CapsAdmin> is anyone having a problem where you can't watch a youtube video (or in this case listening to music through youtube) (in html5 not flash) and then not be able to watch another video somewhere else without the audio crashing almost instantly?
[19:15] <CapsAdmin> i don't remember this happening before
[19:16] <CapsAdmin> if i play two youtube videos at the same time one of them will probably stop playing and or the audio will disappear

[19:26] <eferreira> http://paste.ubuntu.com/15603095/
[19:26] <eferreira> This is it, I'm running 15.10
[19:26] <T_Aloui> Hi my mouse suddenly stopped running, how can I fix that ?
[19:27] <k1l> eferreira: why do you want to install that package in 32bit?
[19:28] <k1l> eferreira: what howto are you following?
[19:29] <auk> hi everyone, i'm having a difficult time installing ubuntu with full disk encryption (install wont boot afterwards).
[19:29] <auk> Googling around i'm seeing a lot of instructions about chrooting in and updating initramfs, also grub and crypttab... but is there any ubuntu release that will just install correctly by itself?
[19:30] <eferreira> @k1l It's a guide my teacher sent us, I need the package to do some db2 database stuff
[19:30] <Akki> hola
[19:30] <eferreira> It has to be in 32 bit cause the executable I'm running asks for it
[19:30] <auk> ...and is this maybe architecture dependent / ... something else? most of the info i find online is old, 2012-13 etc
[19:31] <k1l> eferreira: is this howto for 15.10?
[19:31] <k1l> eferreira: because it looks like its 14.04 howto. in 15.10 there is libgtkmm-3.0-1v5
[19:31] <k1l> eferreira: (that is what the errormessage tells you)
[19:32] <auk> T_Aloui: first steps for your mouse would be unplugging/replugging and if it has batteries, checking that... have you done that already?
[19:32] <victm>  Help me ! Google chrome browser freeze my ubuntu it happened to me more than 10 times on watching video on youtube.??

[19:33] <k1l> victm: start chrome from a terminal and see what error you get when its crashing
[19:34] <auk> Akki: to let you know, you sent a public message
[19:34] <eferreira> It doesnt say, but I was guessing that it was for 14.04. I tried doing the following too: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15603220/

[19:39] <j09> I have the most unusual error. I've recently spent the last few days trying to get my Steam games working on 15.10. The sound came through very distorted. I fixed it my launching Steam from the terminal after running PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 however I've noticed that the sound effects are delayed by about a second. Has anyone else experienced this and
[19:39] <j09> /or can help?
[19:40] <eferreira> And when I try to install  that (libepoxy0:i386) this happens: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15603294/
[19:40] <virtual_z> i've installed ubuntu on my first drive and installed windows on my 2nd drive.. after installing ubuntu first it didn't recognize my windows on the other drive..
[19:40] <eferreira> Last time I said yes and it left me with a broken system, but I'm running from a VM and had a snapshot so I just rolled back
[19:41] <virtual_z> I did sudo update-grub and now it can recognize windows but not booting to windows.. whan can I do now?
[19:41] <virtual_z> it freezes on a blank ubuntu purple screen. no error messages.
[19:42] <virtual_z> any rapid ideas please?
[19:44] <Guest95464> are there any casino, black jack or other poker games out there for Linux besides pokerth and solitaire?
[19:44] <MonkeyDust> !games | Guest95464
[19:44] <j09> virtual_z I've been trying to find help on here for the past 2 days, with no luck. Keep at it, but I'm not sure weekends are the best time for the support channel.
[19:45] <virtual_z> j09: ok thank you
[19:45] <virtual_z> I decided.
[19:45] <virtual_z> leaving it till it can work full compatible with my pc.
[19:46] <virtual_z> good bye! eh
[19:47] <Guest95464> MonkeyDust: what does !games mean?
[19:47] <MonkeyDust> Guest95464  open the links ubottu suggests
[19:47] <j09> goodbye virtual_z I hope you can get it working soon
[19:47] <Guest95464> MonkeyDust: OK
[19:52] <k1l> eferreira: seems like that system has issues before that installation. please run a "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" first
[19:58] <k1l> eferreira: does it want to remove anyhting?
[20:00] <k1l> eferreira: please answer here so others can help
[20:00] <k1l> eferreira: so there is already a lot going wrong on your system
[20:01] <eferreira> k1l: where?
[20:02] <k1l> eferreira: what did you do, so it wants to remove all the packages?
[20:04] <eferreira> okay so: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15603763/ shows all the steps, first I try to install the library I need, second I try to install the dependency of that, third I try to install the dependency of the dependency
[20:06] <^Lestat> ?
[20:06] <^Lestat> docker
[20:07] <^Lestat> hi
[20:07] <antiPoP> I'm trying to connect a laptop to  a wifi. The laptops works fine with other routers, and I can connect with the same laptop running windowze to the same router. But I can't make this specific connection to work. How can I troubleshoot this?
[20:07] <^Lestat> didnt realize this container was still running. Thats kinda cool.
[20:08] <MonkeyDust> eferreira  there's also libgtkmm-2.4-1v5
[20:09] <eferreira> MonkeyDust Oh, thanks, maybe that will work! Itś installing right now
[20:10] <j09> Traditionally how much of a problem have repos like GetDeb and PlayDeb been with the overall stability of Ubuntu? I've got them installed and I suspect they're the reason my audio is lagging being what's being shown on my screen for 3d programs and flash videos.
[20:11] <akshay_> arch or ubuntu?
[20:12] <Myrtti> akshay_: whatever rocks your boat
[20:12] <j09> akshay_ I'm on Ubuntu 15.10 64bit
[20:12] <Myrtti> akshay_: it's a totally your own choice, you're not going to get an unbiased opinion from here.
[20:12] <k1l> akshay_: ubuntu, since you ask in #ubuntu
[20:13] <j09> although admittedly, I didn't seem to have not nearly as many issues with Arch.
[20:13] <Akki> @k1:  :p
[20:13] <dontknow> akshay_, trisquel
[20:14] <DirtyCajun> i have changed my primary group but when i make a file it still gives the file my username as the group. what am i doing wrong
[20:14] <eferreira> Thanks for your help k1l and MonkeyDust It seems this will work
[20:14] <Akki> i installed arch today for the first time
[20:14] <Akki> manjaro plasma one
[20:14] <Akki> alongside ubuntu 15.10
[20:15] <k1l> Akki: we focus on ubuntu support in here :) #ubuntu-offtopic for regular chat
[20:15] <Akki> oh, sorry. Aye aye captain
[20:15] <j09> I don't suppose I'd be able to beckon somone over to take a look at my issue with audio delay.
[20:18] <j09> this must be one heck of an issue if no-one here can help.
[20:20] <k1l> j09: its possible that there are not that much usb-headset steam gamers i here. i personaly dont use that setup. if no one can help in here you could try askubuntu.com or ubuntuforums
[20:21] <^Lestat> exit
[20:21] <MonkeyDust> j09  if you don't get an answer here, try in #ubuntustudio
[20:21] <j09> k1l thanks for getting back to me. I've tried the asubuntu.com site and the #ubuntu-steam irc but to no avail. This wasn't an issue until a few days ago, I suspected it was either a bad 3rd party PPA or something else completely random.
[20:25] <sune1337> I'm trying to install Ubuntu 14.04 in on a fully encrypted disk (cryptsetup luksFormat ... /dev/sda), but when i run update-initramfs -u after creating /etc/crypttab i don't get the cryptsetup file installed in the initrd image; so it can't boot. I do get it to work if i create separate partitions for root and swap and encrypt them separately.

[20:31] <Paul^^> I must rescue some old data from these disks
[20:31] <k1l> pokmo: without the { }
[20:31] <Paul^^> jazip don't found nothing iomega
[20:32] <pokmo> k1l: but that returns .VLC_PATH
[20:34] <k1l> pokmo: you might want to ask in #bash
[20:34] <pokmo> ok
[20:39] <squinty> Paul^^,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IomegaZIPDrive  might be of some help
[20:46] <drmagoo> Does anyone here know of a rdp-client (to access a win7 machine) that supports seperate windowsize (The program/client itself) and resolution? Windowsize is 2560x1440 and resolution is 1920x1080 for example...
[20:52] <solaire> how do I search for a package with apt-get?
[20:52] <teward> solaire: apt-cache search PackageNameHere
[20:52] <teward> or rather, search term goes where it says PackageNameHere
[20:52] <solaire> ok.  probably a stupid question to someone who knows, but why cache for uninstalled package?
[20:53] <teward> solaire: it searches the entire repository list that was last downloaded - i.e. from `apt-get update`
[20:53] <teward> solaire: installed or not, it lists packages that match the search string
[20:53] <teward> also, you may wish to search on packages.ubuntu.com as well
[20:53] <solaire> ok so i always want to run apt-get update && apt-cache search blah
[20:54] <teward> solaire: you can just run `sudo apt-get update` once a week, and still use `apt-cache search` any time after that
[20:54] <upp> hello, i'm looking for the name of this ubuntu theme? https://vimeo.com/137133837
[20:54] <teward> solaire: it isn't necessary to update every time you're running a search
[20:55] <solaire> yeah, fair enough.  thanks.
[21:00] <upp> any one know the name of this theme?
[21:00] <drmagoo> upp> Icons look like numix
[21:01] <SuperFario> can't change my brightness, tried itsfoss manual but didn't help at all
[21:02] <drmagoo> upp> http://www.noobslab.com/2014/05/numix-theme-for-ubuntulinux-mintother.html
[21:02] <SuperFario> any1 who is up 4 it?
[21:02] <upp> drmagoo: you're right, thanks you ;-)
[21:03] <drmagoo> upp> np!
[21:03] <SuperFario> my screen freezes when i unplugg the cable to the battery, running ubuntu 14.04
[21:04] <solaire>  /etc/sources.list.d is my repository directory right?
[21:04] <SuperFario> any1 dealing with this problem?
[21:04] <teward> solaire: /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* will comprise the list of repositories you have
[21:04] <upp> drmagoo: are you sure the one on the video is numix?
[21:05] <solaire> teward: what is the diff between the two?
[21:05] <teward> solaire: but yes, for 'additional' repositories outside the standard Ubuntu ones, then it's in individual files (typically) in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
[21:05] <drmagoo> upp> quite sure, atleast the icon-theme.. Looks like my icons and I use numics-icons...
[21:05] <solaire> oh and /etc/sources.list is for distro officiale?
[21:05] <teward> solaire: sources.list is the 'ubuntu' repositories, created on install; the files in the sources.list.d/* directory area are all individual lists for individual repositories, designed to make it 'easier' to manage
[21:06] <upp> drmagoo: yes now i check it, thank you so much ;-)
[21:06] <SuperFario> can someone help a new guy in need?
[21:06] <\9> !ask | SuperFario
[21:06] <drmagoo> upp> =)
[21:07] <drmagoo> upp> you are welcome!
[21:07]  * solaire pats \9 on the head for being so diligent in forcing his vision on the channel :P
[21:07] <SuperFario> Thanks! So here is the thing. I recently installed ubuntu 14.04.
[21:08] <SuperFario> Sorry, i can't change the screen brightness, and i googled it and used itsfoss.com guide, but did not help me.
[21:09] <SuperFario> anyone dealing with this type of problem? i have a geforce and intel
[21:10] <Dekkard> SuperFario:  no display?
[21:10] <emelec> no puedo abrir mi gestor de paquetes synaptic.......me sale se ha producido un error....
[21:10] <upp> exit
[21:10] <emelec> E: Tipo «sudo» desconocido en la línea 17 de la lista de fuentes /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:10] <emelec> E: No se pudo leer la lista de fuentes.
[21:10] <emelec> Vaya al diálogo del repositorio para corregir el problema.
[21:10] <emelec> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[21:10] <veXx> anyone around that uses nvidia propriety driver with gtx 9xx series gpu mind helping me out?
[21:11] <SuperFario> @dekkard what did you mean?
[21:11] <Dekkard> black display?..
[21:11] <Dekkard> no picture
[21:11] <drmagoo> veXx: I do... whats the issue ?
[21:11] <k1l> !es | emelec
[21:12] <veXx> drmaggo: if i go below native resolution, screen does not scale/stretch
[21:12] <SuperFario> i have picture, but the brightness is at max, can't change it
[21:12] <emelec> ok
[21:12] <SuperFario> tried this http://itsfoss.com/fix-brightness-ubuntu-1310/ but was not helpfull
[21:12] <drmagoo> veXx: You get black borders ? How are you changing the resolution ?
[21:13] <roseysdaddy> hello
[21:13] <veXx> drmagoo: correct, black borders. i changed it using the nvidia software
[21:13] <Dekkard> hmm.. different problem than what i had.. sorry
[21:13] <drmagoo> veXx: did you restart the computer or just login/logout ?
[21:13] <veXx> drmagoo: "nvidia x server settings"
[21:14] <veXx> drmagoo: restarted
[21:14] <roseysdaddy> can anyone point me in the right direction?  fresh install of ubuntu server 15.10, but I have only a blank screen.  The only way to see anything is after it is finished booting, to press CTRL-ALT-F1.
[21:14] <drmagoo> veXx: are you using Unity ?
[21:15] <roseysdaddy> me?
[21:15] <veXx> drmagoo: currently using kde but i have xfce, and lxde installed if you think that would make a difference
[21:16] <veXx> drmagoo: i doubt this makes a difference, but i just swapped over from ati but I did uninstall all the fgrlx software
[21:18] <drmagoo> veXx: Any broken dependencies ? Check if there is anything in KDE settings (should be under System, then display) or try to change the resolution using xrandr...
[21:20] <veXx> drmagoo: interesting, if i use the display manager for kde, while limited (in options) it scales properly
[21:21] <drmagoo> veXx: the dm's dont mix well with the wm's. I currently use i3wm, with lightdm and use xrandr to change the resolution if needed.
[21:21] <roseysdaddy> can anyone point me in the right direction?  fresh install of ubuntu server 15.10, but I have only a blank screen.  The only way to see anything is after it is finished booting, to press CTRL-ALT-F1.
[21:22] <drmagoo> Does anyone here know of a rdp-client (to access a win7 machine) that supports seperate windowsize (The program/client itself) and resolution? Windowsize is 2560x1440 and resolution is 1920x1080 for example...
[21:22] <veXx> drmagoo: too explain a little about what i am doing, i like my desktop at native 1980x1020. but when i game i play at lower resolution for higher fps.
[21:24] <squinty> roseysdaddy,  might want to ask in #ubuntu-server
[21:24] <drmagoo> veXx: Then I would use xrandr to change the resolution.. Then you dont need to login/out or anything.. should just the current session to the wanted resolution
[21:26] <veXx> drmagoo: ill look into that, thanks
[21:29] <drmagoo> veXx: np! you're welcome
[21:30] <dcz> hello guys, how can we go to certain line in terminal like in vim ?
[21:30] <dcz> for example i typed ls -all then ls
[21:30] <dcz> lets say it is 100 lines output at total
[21:30] <dcz> lets say i want to go backwar to 93rd line
[21:31] <k1l> dcz: "ls" doesnt support that.
[21:31] <dcz> or how can i direct a command to search in terminal keyboard combination
[21:32] <Ben64> ls -al | head -n93 | tail -n1
[21:32] <dcz> no no
[21:32] <dcz> Ben64, lets say i ve already executed those commands
[21:33] <Ben64> then too bad
[21:33] <k1l> dcz: the terminal is not interactive like a editor
[21:34] <dcz> instead of using touchpad or mouse , i want to go back to last command's line that already executed
[21:34] <dcz> scrolling upward
[21:34] <k1l> dcz: use shift+"pageup"
[21:34] <readonlyomg> whats the url i can use with nc 9999 to paste from terminal again?
[21:35] <k1l> readonlyomg: nc termbin.com 9999
[21:35] <dcz> it doesnt go upward to last commands line with shift page up
[21:36] <k1l> dcz: what you want is not possible
[21:36] <dcz> how terminal knows a command executed at which line
[21:36] <k1l> dcz: the terminal is not interactive like vim
[21:36] <dcz> at least i knows which command executed at last :D
[21:37] <dcz> s/i/it
[21:37] <readonlyomg> http://termbin.com/mkac my HDD is remounting as read only but i dont understand enough to know if its my MAIN HDD or if its another one. can someone help?
[21:37] <dcz> doesnt it logs the command execution line ?
[21:40] <mercer> hi hello, I have a problem... I have a external data drive that (I guess) has been disconnected without being remounted, the problem is it has been renamed 3 times automatically under /media   as /media/New Volume1  and  /media/New Volume2  how can I change it back to /media/New Volume  so I can get everything to work properly?
[21:42] <akik> mercer: is it a ext3/ext4 file system?
[21:43] <mercer> 1 sec i'll check
[21:44] <mercer> it's ntfs
[21:44] <akik> with ext3/ext4 it is the volume label that is used
[21:44] <mercer> yes...
[21:45] <mercer> like my internal drives
[21:45] <akik> maybe you need to change its volume label to New Volume in windows
[21:45] <k1l> dcz: press "uparrow". that will show the last commands
[21:45] <mercer> i don't run windowsw
[21:47] <akik> mercer: maybe you can change it in gparted
[21:47] <mercer> I'm in gparted now
[21:48] <mercer> the label is New Volume but it is mounted to /media/New Volume2  so I get all kinds of problems with programs
[21:49] <akik> oh there's ntfslabel in ubuntu
[21:50] <akik> ntfsprogs package
[21:50] <mercer> would changing the UUID help or do I not know what I am talking about?
[21:51] <akik> it is most probably the label, not uuid
[21:51] <mercer> right
[21:51] <akik> i have no idea why it keeps changing on you
[21:52] <mercer> ok the device and the label are the same but it is remounted to a different directory under /media
[21:55] <mercer> so do you think remounting the drive back to the /New Volume  directory might work?
[21:55] <akik> mercer: it should be /media/username/foo ?
[21:55] <mercer> yes thats it
[21:55] <akik> mercer: umount it, change the label and then remount
[21:56] <bubba_> hello
[21:56] <mercer> ok bb in a fw
[21:56] <bubba_> is Bash included with Ubuntu and if so how do I start it ??
[21:57] <akik> bubba_: bash is the default shell in ubuntu
[21:57] <k1l> bubba_: open a terminal?
[21:58] <mercer> it's like this sda1 is mounted to the wrong directory, is there any easier way to command line it and change it to another directory?
[21:58] <bubba_> how do I start Bash?
[21:59] <Guest31316> ctrl + alt + t
[21:59] <bubba_> with the gui please
[21:59] <Guest31316> dunno
[21:59] <B0g4r7_> ctrl-alt-t
[21:59] <k1l> bubba_: what do you want to do at all?
[21:59] <bubba_> thanks for nothing :(
[21:59] <squinty> search in the dash for "terminal"
[22:00] <Guest31316> applications > terminal
[22:00] <k1l> ok, dont mind the trolls
[22:07] <mercer> how do i determine all volume id numbers from the command line?
[22:08] <k1l> mercer: sudo parted -l
[22:10] <mercer> k1l: that didn't give me the device id number...
[22:11] <k1l> you mean the uuid?
[22:11] <k1l> sudo blkid
[22:13] <B0g4r7_> Well I finally got this system working using lvmcache on the rootfs.  It still feels sluggish.  Maybe it'll be nicer when the raid finishes synchronizing.
[22:14] <mercer> all I need to do is change a directory back to it's original mount'd directoru... /media/superuser/New Volume  has been changed to /media/superuser/New Volume   and it's causing problems
[22:14] <foo> In OS X, in Terminal, connected to a screen on a Linux machine, in a venv, in python CLI, I press up arrow and I see this: ^[[A    ... how do I fix this so the up arrow actually works? I forget if it's Terminal, or screen, or python, heh.
[22:14] <mercer> i mean changed to /New Volume2
[22:14] <mercer> sorry
[22:14] <B0g4r7_> foo, have a look at the TERM env variable maybe.
[22:15] <B0g4r7_> Try setting it to some different values and see what happens.
[22:17] <B0g4r7_> mercer, the quick hack would be a symlink.  ln -s "/media/superuser/New Volume2" "/media/superuser/New Volume"
[22:17] <B0g4r7_> Just remember to remove the symlink later when you no longer need it.
[22:18] <mercer> ok what is a symlink?
[22:18] <B0g4r7_> symbolic link.  Called an alias on os x, and a shortcut on windows.
[22:19] <foo> B0g4r7_: thank you
[22:21] <mercer> I don't run win or osx
[22:21] <mercer> but KI think I need to logon and log back in
[22:21] <mercer> brb
[22:22] <drale2k> can o setup a ubuntu server in virtualbox locally, install and configure everything i want and then create an .iso (or something else) and use that to deploy to an online server? Is that a good idea?
[22:22] <drale2k> i want to create something i can re-deploy easily
[22:23] <Spinrad> drale2k, search Ansible, it will do the job
[22:23] <drale2k> Spinrad: thanks!
[22:25] <mercer> ok
[22:25] <mercer> back
[22:25] <mercer> my question is now this how can I remove a directory under /media/superuser/  ???
[22:25] <readonlyomg> can ANYONE help me with my read only mounting issues?
[22:27] <B0g4r7_> readonlyomg, sudo mount  -o remount,rw /mnt/foo
[22:27] <B0g4r7_> mercer, the rmdir command will remove an empty directory.
[22:28] <mercer> ok
[22:28] <k1l> readonlyomg: is this a live system? or the recovery?
[22:28] <mercer> sudo: unable to resolve host 127-0-0-1
[22:28] <mercer> rmdir: failed to remove ‘New’: No such file or directory
[22:28] <mercer> rmdir: failed to remove ‘Volume’: No such file or directory
[22:28] <readonlyomg> kil its a live system
[22:29] <readonlyomg> it boots. but boots with / being read only.
[22:29] <k1l> readonlyomg: that is not an issue
[22:29] <B0g4r7_> mercer, if there are spaces in the name you'll need to enclose it in quotes or escape it using backslashes or such.
[22:29] <k1l> readonlyomg: a live system is not writable.
[22:29] <readonlyomg> wait.. i dont mean live as in cd
[22:29] <readonlyomg> i mean live as in this is my active system
[22:30] <Bashing-om> mercer: Space in the file name ? linux sees a space as a delimiter , and must be 'escaped' .
[22:30] <B0g4r7_> readonlyomg, have you checked dmesg and the system log for clues about why it's mounting readonly?
[22:30] <mercer> it says the directory is not empty but I have the volume unplugged and I can't cd into it
[22:30] <k1l> readonlyomg: "mount | nc termbin.com 9999"
[22:31] <readonlyomg> B0g4r7_: yessir and it only states that ATA6 was having issues. which is my sdd not my sda
[22:31] <mercer> maybe there is a gui util besides gparted that can remove stuff like this
[22:31] <B0g4r7_> mercer, so something's still mounted that you want unmounted, it sounds like.  Explore the 'mount' and 'umount
[22:31] <B0g4r7_> ' commands.
[22:32] <B0g4r7_> The easy answer is to reboot.
[22:34] <lesley>  http://m.imgur.com/ZGAJvwY What the fuck!?
[22:34] <ikonia> please control the language
[22:34] <B0g4r7_> Hmm.  I wonder if I should click that.  Let me consult my magic 8-ball...
[22:34] <ikonia> there is no need for it, and it's not welcome
[22:35] <lesley> I'm sorry, but ... what the -
[22:35] <ikonia> why don't you just explain the problem calmly
[22:35] <lesley> I took a photo.
[22:36] <ikonia> why don't you explain the problem
[22:36] <k1l> lesley: we need way more info. the picture doesnt show enough. describe what you are doing and what error is there?
[22:36] <mercer> so dees anyone know of a GUI that can erase mounted directories and mount volumes easily?
[22:36] <lesley> Oh, sorry, let me try again.
[22:36] <ikonia> mercer: nautilus
[22:36] <Tin_man> mercer: sudo
[22:36] <k1l> Tin_man: stop.
[22:37] <k1l> Tin_man: sudo is not an program, and it is not to be run with gui at all. so dont give bad advice
[22:37] <Tin_man> just kidding, it is a gui, letters and such
[22:38] <mercer> nautilus ... ???
[22:38] <ikonia> mercer: yes, the default file manager
[22:38] <k1l> mercer: what is the issue at all?
[22:38] <ikonia> mercer: that can delete directories and files within a mounted directory just fine
[22:39] <B0g4r7_> He wants a gui frontend for mount and umount.
[22:39] <ikonia> nautius coupled with the automounter will do that
[22:39] <foo> uname -a #46-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 10 19:11:08 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux - does this mean I need to install 64bit versions of packages?
[22:39] <k1l> that is nautilus. it can mount and unmount partitions. but i think he got another issue there
[22:39] <Tin_man> chill out
[22:39] <mercer> my external volume of information keeps remounting to a different directory and is causing problems
[22:39] <k1l> foo: that is a 64bit system. yes
[22:40] <foo> k1l: that's what I thought, thank you
[22:40] <ikonia> Tin_man: no - stop messing around, there will be no more warnings
[22:41] <B0g4r7_> Automatic mounting, no doubt.
[22:41] <B0g4r7_> Something permanant in fstab would probably suit better.
[22:42] <ikonia> it should only mount in one place, even with the automounter
[22:42] <ikonia> based off volume label
[22:42] <k1l> mercer: "sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999"
[22:42] <V7> o/
[22:42] <k1l> mercer: "cat /etc/fstab | nc termbin.com 9999"
[22:43] <geovane> Ola.
[22:43] <Dinner4Breakfast> is there a way to turn off 3D in unity without losing any of the functionality?
[22:43] <k1l> Dinner4Breakfast: no
[22:43] <mish41> is anyone here successfully running dropbox on their ubuntu 14.04?
[22:44] <k1l> mish41: there are plenty
[22:44] <mercer> ok k1l
[22:44] <mish41> k1l: i have no luck in getting it to start, and keep getting permission errors. haven't found a fix for it yet.
[22:45] <Dinner4Breakfast> is there a desktop or window manager that can grid *child* windows like unity?
[22:45] <V7> Is here anyone who's using Krusader ?
[22:46] <k1l> mish41: sudo apt-get install nautilus-dropbox
[22:46] <k1l> mish41: eventually run "dropbox start -i
[22:46] <k1l> " afterwards
[22:46] <mish41> k1l: so with my current dropbox should i just stop running it, or remove it?
[22:46] <Dinner4Breakfast> I've tried lxde and kde, and they can grid main/parent windows, but not child windows
[22:46] <V7> Or ... guys ... which app are u using for SFTP ?
[22:46] <V7> Gui *
[22:47] <V7> Except Filezilla
[22:47] <k1l> V7: nautilus
[22:47] <mish41> k1l: also fyi i installed dropbox from a .deb package i downloaded from dropbox, instead of through apt-get
[22:47] <k1l> mish41: i dont know about that 3rd party package
[22:48] <V7> k1l: nautilus o.o ? Really ...
[22:48] <V7> ewww
[22:48] <k1l> V7: yes, "connect to server" in the menu
[22:48] <V7> If we'd not joking :D ?
[22:48] <mercer> brb
[22:51] <lesley> The contibue button in the installer was greyed out on the format type screen (format everything/something else) was greyed out. Is this a known issue?
[22:51] <lesley> n*
[22:51] <k1l> lesley: that sounds like the choosen setup was missing something.
[22:52] <V7> lesley: Ctrl+Alt+5 and dmesg
[22:52] <V7> ?
[22:54] <dummy9> Is there a Linux podcast that's recorded live apart from mintcast?
[22:55] <k1l> dummy9: better ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:55] <BroEzra> I just installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS yesterday along side Windows 10. After initial installation grub showed both options. Now Windows 10 is not listed. All I have done is download updates and my nVidia driver and a few apps. Is there a way to add Windows back in with Grub Customizer? Thanks!
[22:56] <k1l> BroEzra: run a "sudo update-grub"
[22:56] <BroEzra> k1l: I did and then rebooted. Still nothing.
[22:56] <lesley> I'm sorry that just causes the system to crash and reset.
[22:57] <V7> What da fu** ... windows 10 ?
[22:57] <V7> lesley: What exactly ?
[22:57] <k1l> lesley: so did you enter all the needed things on that installation page?
[22:58] <k1l> BroEzra: can you show the output on paste.ubuntu.com ?
[22:59] <lesley> Never mind.  Uhm... I can't tell which of th dmesg errors is related to the installer button.
[23:00] <BroEzra> k1l: Here is the output for sudo update-grub. https://paste.ubuntu.com/15605481/
[23:13] <Madhumper69> ufw seems to be enabled all is fine in terminal however when i open gufw the application wont open i get no errors?  any direction into this issue would be helpful thanks
[23:14] <teward> Madhumper69: try running `gufw` from the terminal, see if there's any errors going there
[23:14] <Madhumper69> ok
[23:15] <Madhumper69> good call, that gives me something to work with
[23:15] <BroEzra> k1l: I think I am going to try and use boot-repair and reinstall grub. Hopefully that will help. Thanks for you help
[23:16] <Rhorse> I just received my preinstalled 15.10 laptop. What happens when 15.10 is eol? Do I need to do fresh install of another version?
[23:17] <k1l> Rhorse: you can upgrade from end of april to july with online upgrade
[23:17] <Madhumper69> http://paste.ubuntu.com/15605560/ error i got teward
[23:17] <Madhumper69> ill do some googling.. thanks
[23:17] <Rhorse> k1l: is this upgrade to another 9 month cycle or to an LTS?
[23:18] <k1l> Rhorse: 16.04 is an LTS with up to 5 years support
[23:18] <Rhorse> k1l: thanks!
[23:19] <Sazpaimon_> How can I get gparted to allow me to shrink my ntfs volume? It's complaining that I don't have ntfs-3g, but I absolutely do have it
[23:20] <k1l> Sazpaimon_: sudo apt install ntfs-3g
[23:21] <Sazpaimon_> " It's complaining that I don't have ntfs-3g, but I absolutely do have it"
[23:21] <k1l> Sazpaimon_: what is the output when you run my command?
[23:22] <Sazpaimon_> already installed and newest version
[23:22] <Sazpaimon_> and I confirmed that I have ntfsresize, ntfsfix, etc
[23:23] <TJ-> Sazpaimon_: have you considered the report may be misleading; the real issue may be that the NTFS volume dirty flag is set so the ntfs tools won't touch it
[23:23] <Madhumper69> Turns out I was missing a package called python-gobject; installed it and gufw works flawlessly.
[23:23] <k1l> Sazpaimon_: what is the exact errormessage?
[23:23] <Sazpaimon_> the windows install was cleanly shut down
[23:23] <anonim> bonjour
[23:24] <k1l> Sazpaimon_: windows doesnt "cleanly unmount" on shutdown since some time. due to simulate a faster boot time
[23:24] <Sazpaimon_> Unable to read the contents of this file system! Because of this some operations may be unavailable. The cause might be a missing software package. The following list of software packages is required for ntfs file system support: ntfsprogs / ntfs-3g.
[23:24] <k1l> Sazpaimon_: so please dont think we think you are dumb. but we just need to work through all known issues
[23:25] <Sazpaimon_> so if this is the system partition, how do I cleanly unmount it when shutting down windows?
[23:25] <Sazpaimon_> will I need to boot to a windows PE and chkdsk it?
[23:26] <k1l> Sazpaimon_: what windows is it?
[23:27] <Sazpaimon_> 7
[23:27] <TJ-> Sazpaimon_: are you able to mount/read the file-system manually in a terminal?
[23:27] <Sazpaimon_> yep
[23:27] <Sazpaimon_> mounted as fuseblk on /mnt, so ntfs-3g is being used
[23:28] <lesley> Why is Ubuntu so slow?
[23:28] <Sazpaimon_> ntfsresize -i /dev/sdc2 says that the volume isnt clean though
[23:28] <k1l> Sazpaimon_: there is ntfsfix
[23:28] <lesley> Why does it hang when I log out?
[23:28] <Sazpaimon_> i ran ntfsfix on it, too
[23:29] <k1l> Sazpaimon_: is it still moounted?
[23:29] <bryceml> Sazpaimon_ try http://www.howtogeek.com/129021/how-to-do-a-full-shutdown-in-windows-8-without-disabling-hybrid-boot/
[23:29] <lesley> How do I log in as root?
[23:29] <Sazpaimon_> but i said I'm on windows 7
[23:29] <Sazpaimon_> k1l, nope
[23:29] <k1l> lesley: you dont
[23:30] <bryceml> same principle I think, I can't remember when they introduced hybrid boot.
[23:30] <lesley> Which Linux distro is on par with Ubuntu?
[23:30] <k1l> lesley: if you need root permissions in terminal you use sudo
[23:30] <Sazpaimon_> oh I ran ntfsfix with -b not -d
[23:30] <Sazpaimon_> still didn't change anything
[23:31] <Sazpaimon_> though now ntfsresize -i is saying there are cluster mismatches
[23:31] <lesley> Or better yet...
[23:31] <Sazpaimon_> so I guess i'll schedule a chkdsk on it
[23:31] <lesley> How do I make it so I don't have to enter my password all the time?
[23:31] <k1l> lesley: you dont have to all the time. it keep the password for 15 minutes in terminal
[23:32] <lesley> Why do I get a system problem on startup on a nearly fresh install?
[23:32] <lesley> How can I stop Ubuntu from locking up whenever I log out?
[23:33] <k1l> lesley: that seems to depend on your exact hardware  and software setup.
[23:33] <lesley> Is there any way to extend that time period?
[23:33] <lesley> Okay?
[23:34] <k1l> lesley: on terminal?
[23:34] <lesley> How do I fix it then, by buying a new laptop?
[23:34] <bryceml> you can remove the password requirement from sudo, I don't recommend it though http://askubuntu.com/questions/192050/how-to-run-sudo-command-with-no-password
[23:34] <lesley> Everywhere.
[23:34] <Sazpaimon_> okay, i scheduled a cluster check, time to reboot and see if that fixes it
[23:34] <k1l> lesley: that is just a plain stupid idea
[23:34] <lesley> Why?
[23:34] <k1l> lesley: because its a big part of the security setup on ubuntu
[23:35] <lesley> Against whom?
[23:35] <B0g4r7_> Wow, this system boots way quicker when it's not trying to also synchronize the underlying raid.
[23:35] <k1l> lesley: against anyone haveing hardware or software access to your machine.
[23:36] <lesley> So, ssh?
[23:36] <k1l> lesley: i wonder what you are doing all the day that needs root permissions
[23:37] <lesley> None of your business.
[23:37] <TJ-> lesley: "sudo -i"
[23:37] <lesley> TJ- I what about window prompts?
[23:38] <TJ-> lesley: huh? what do you mean?
[23:39] <TJ-> lesley: sudo is for use in a terminal shell, not in the GUI
[23:39] <TJ-> lesley: pkexec/gksudo are/were the things to use in the GUI
[23:42] <B0g4r7_> Maybe there's a pam module that lets you auth using a smartcard or something.
[23:44] <lesley> Maybe... or maybe I should choose another distro, one I can actually use.
[23:44] <lesley> Instead of having to autjenticate myself all the time.
[23:44] <k1l> if you dont like the ubuntu way, ubuntu is the wrong distribution to start with.
[23:45] <lesley> Obviously.
[23:45] <B0g4r7_> Don't all the OSs ask the user to authenticate fairly routinely these days?
[23:45] <TJ-> lesley: you can add an entry to the sudoers file to not require a password, with NOPASSWD
[23:45] <lesley> Define "routinely".
[23:45] <B0g4r7_> Depends what you're doing, but at least daily.
[23:46] <B0g4r7_> I suppose you could run MacOS 9.  That won't ask you to auth all the time.
[23:46] <lesley> Oh, can I?
[23:47] <effectnet> whats a good program to burn dvd's?
[23:47] <Sazpaimon_> alright, looks like a full chkdsk seemed to do the trick
[23:48] <k1l> i still wonder what one needs to run with root permissions on the gui all the time. but there are ways to use NOPASSWD.
[23:49] <lesley> Ways to use NOPASSWD - huh?
[23:50] <k1l> lesley: you are way to vague to get specific help. i told you that right on your first partial picture screenshot, that didnt give any informations to help you.
[23:50] <bryceml> xfburn works good for me for burning discs, or do you mean video dvd's?
[23:50] <B0g4r7_> There are probably ways to have a system that never asks for a password ever, but the system will probably give a bit of resistance to any efforts to make it like that, and will surely warn that doing so is a bad idea.
[23:50] <k1l> effectnet: brasero?
[23:51] <effectnet> k
[23:51] <B0g4r7_> brasero works wall for me for my disc writing needs.
[23:51] <B0g4r7_> works well too
[23:55] <slavka`> hey guys... i want to have a little script running in the background to watch all files, directories and subdirectories for file size changes and then run a command on those files..
[23:55] <slavka`> how can i do that?
[23:57] <bryceml> slavka: I would look at inotify
[23:58] <k1l> yep, inotify is for looking at changes of files.
[23:59] <TJ-> slavka`: in a script, inotifywatch or inotifywait depending on exactly what you need
