[00:01] <ecojud> sector_0: download the iso of the OS you want first, then follow that tut
[00:02] <sector_0> ecojud, so the process for a USB stick is pretty much the same from a secondary internal HDD?
[00:02] <ecojud> sector_0: oh... I guess I didn't really understand what you were asking
[00:03] <sector_0> ecojud, what I want to do is use a secondary internal HDD as a bootable disk by which the OS can be installed
[00:04] <sector_0> so instead of using a bootable USB flashdrive to install the OS, I'll be using the secondary internal HDD
[00:06] <ecojud> sector_0: right, and I'm not too clear on what may happen to your internal boot records if you install to an internal drive
[00:07] <Bashing-om> sector_0: Consider: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot <-Ubuntu ISOs are designed to allow booting directly from the hard ( and installing) .
[00:11] <django_> hey all
[00:11] <django_> i originally only allocated 44gb to this partition
[00:11] <django_> is there a way to add more? or am i screwed lol
[00:12] <ecojud> django_: do you have free space next to your 44gb partition?
[00:12] <django_> ecojud, yeah
[00:13] <David-A> django_: gparted can resize a partition (but not for all types of filesystem)
[00:13] <django_> cool
[00:16] <David-A> django_: remember that resizing a file system may involve moving around blocks containing the files and updating pointers between blocks. it is heavy and clever juggeling and may take a long time. make a backup first.
[00:17] <nonya> Can someone please read this, and help me get these stupid fuckwit reddit admits to respond to me.

[00:18] <django_> David-A, can i do it for this: http://imgur.com/502mPwg
[00:19] <nonya> I'm the auditor that wrote it, and its a god damn compelling case
[00:20] <lionelmessi5102> Hi guys, I've just installed Ubuntu mini.iso with xfce4, but now I have to use "startx" command to use the GUI, is there anyway to do it automatically after every boot.
[00:20] <David-A> django_: if gparted cannot resize, it will not offer it in the context menu, and the resize buttons will be inactive. see what it offers. (if you mean ntfs? i doubt it)
[00:20] <squinty> nonya,  try reading the topic for this family based channel and please take the politics elsewhere before the mod bans your
[00:21] <django_> David-A, well i wanna be able to grab from the /dev/sda2 and put it in /dev/sda7
[00:21] <nonya> I guess information security and executive leadership in cybersecurity is irrelevant to the Ubuntu community.
[00:21] <ecojud> django_: your sda2 is practically full... I would take any free space from it
[00:21] <squinty> !ops nonya
[00:22] <django_> ahh
[00:22] <django_> true
[00:22] <django_> ok brb
[00:22] <django_> gonna move to windows ill be back
[00:22] <ecojud> erm... I wouldn't take space from it
[00:22] <lionelmessi5102> Hi guys, I've just installed Ubuntu mini.iso with xfce4, but now I have to use "startx" command to use the GUI, is there anyway to do it automatically after every boot.
[00:22] <David-A> django_: first, i doubt gparted dears resizing an ntfs, secondly, that would also include resizing the intervening extended partition.
[00:23] <ecojud> and if that is a windows partition, be warned that windows does not like it when you resize its partition
[00:24] <ecojud> oh, he's gone
[00:25] <ecojud> I'm having trouble accessing my "Bios Setup" after installing ubuntu

[00:34] <orfeo> Hello folks!
[00:35] <orfeo> Could someone help me figure why sometimes there is some updates kept back (not installed) and how can I install it via terminal (command line)
[00:36] <teward> orfeo: typically I see that when it's a package that has a new dependency, or a dependency change (especially with the kernels, which will pull in *new* kernel packages when upgraded)
[00:36] <teward> orfeo: does it happen to tell you what packages are being held back?
[00:36] <orfeo> teward: yes, I think most of them are php related
[00:39] <teward> orfeo: without knowing what is installed on your system I can't give any better insight than it may be having new package requirements that aren't already installed, therefore it won't install them on `apt-get upgrade` because you didn't tell it that it could also get all the deps it needs.  (`apt-get dist-upgrade` will do this)
[00:39] <orfeo> teward: alright. let me test that. just a sec please.
[00:40] <Bashing-om> orfeo: Phased release updates ? initially only 10% of the user base gets an update . pending no faults the updates will continue . Else one can terminally install the updates .
[00:40] <teward> also, what Bashing-om said
[00:44] <circ-user-pduFw> Got an interesting question. Why is it for all the "regular" installers of ubuntu that you can find the MD5 or SHA1 checksums, but there is no checksum information for the Network Installer "Mini" isos
[00:45] <orfeo> teward: well, it did upgrade everything possible I guess. But I am running it on Vagrant as a VM and it keeps giving me this message even after upgrade : `The guest additions on this VM do not match the installed version`
[00:45] <orfeo> I don't know if I should bring that to another channel more specific.
[00:46] <Maimster> Hey everyone...
[00:47] <Maimster> Dam...
[00:47] <Bashing-om> circ-user-pduFw: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD has the checksums .
[00:48] <circ-user-pduFw> Thanks Bashing!
[00:48] <hammer> hey guys
[00:48] <Bashing-om> circ-user-pduFw: :)
[00:49] <hammer> I'm having some trouble booting from a usb stick, can anyone help me for a minute?
[00:50] <pharpend> Hello, everyone. Could someone tell me how to get gpg-agent on 15.10?
[00:50] <pharpend> hammer: I can try
[00:50] <hammer> when i boot, it doesnt give me the try linux or install options. it just gives me the GRUB interface
[00:50] <r00st3r3_> is anything in the interface? Are you dual booting with Windows?
[00:50] <pharpend> hammer: mmkay. So, when you boot, is the USB drive just stuck in there, and you're hoping for the best?
[00:51] <pharpend> hammer: i.e. did you explicitly select the USB drive from your motherboard's boot menu?
[00:52] <hammer> yes, i did shift+restart to get to the (windows 10) boot menu, then selected the drive that I have ubuntu on
[00:52] <pharpend> the motherboard's boot menu should have nothing to do with Windows
[00:53] <r00st3r3_> hammer: is ubuntu currently installed on the HD? Or just on the USB?
[00:53] <hammer> r00st3r3: just on the usb
[00:54] <r00st3r3_> hammer: Does your board have EFI with windows 10?
[00:54] <hammer> pharpend: it was just the place where i chose to boot from the usb instead of the HDD
[00:54] <pharpend> hammer: okay.
[00:55] <hammer> r00st3r3: it's UEFI (is there a difference?)
[00:55] <r00st3r3_> hammer: I would have the BIOS boot directly from the USB instead of the windows boot manager.
[00:55] <r00st3r3_> hammer: if you can disable it in the BIOS then have the boot device as USB it may run better. I personally hate UEFI
[00:55] <pharpend> n.b. make sure, in your boot menu, if there is an option between "UEFI: USB stick" and "USB stick", choose the UEFI: option, else the bootloader won't install properly
[00:56] <mrkirby153> Is there any reason why postfix is only listening on localhost? http://hastebin.com/oquhomokex
[00:58] <hammer> r00st3r3 pharpend: ok, I'll try that out, thank you for your time
[00:58] <pharpend> now
[00:58] <pharpend> onto my gpg-agent issue
[00:58] <pharpend> anyone know?
[01:00] <django_> hey all is there a program i can download to see which programs i have installed?
[01:00] <django_> like when i do sudo apt-get
[01:01] <r00st3r3_> django: software manager
[01:01] <rob0> pharpend, it wasn't installed along with gpg?  Or do you mean how to start/use the agent?
[01:02] <Bashing-om> django_: ' dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages ' Gives a list in the file "my-packages" .
[01:04] <pharpend> django_: apt list --installed
[01:05] <django_> is there a program that has a GUI that i could remove packages?
[01:05] <pharpend> django_: also, aptitude search '~i'
[01:05] <pharpend> django_: synaptic (or whatever the kids use nowadays) should do the trick
[01:06] <django_> pharpend, yeah but synpatic doesnt show me the installed packages
[01:06] <pharpend> hmm
[01:06]  * pharpend installs synaptic
[01:06] <pharpend> I just switched back to Ubuntu from Arch, like 3 hours ago
[01:07] <pharpend> On Arch, using a graphical tool is considered a mortal sin
[01:07] <django_> ohh found it
[01:07] <django_> lol
[01:07] <David-A> django_: in my synaptic i have a button "Status", then i select "Installed", and it lists a bunch of packages. In the gui.
[01:08] <django_> ohh
[01:08] <django_> David-A, ty lol
[01:08] <django_> David-A, could i create a filter based on install and sized
[01:08] <pharpend> I've used Ubuntu on my servers for a long time
[01:09] <pharpend> django_: so I don't know much about the graphical utilities :/
[01:13] <David-A> django_: i don't know. in Settings>Filter>New>Properties>New  i find no size property.
[01:13] <django_> grr
[01:13] <django_> wow
[01:13] <django_> i removed everything from my trash
[01:13] <django_> 21gb lol
[01:15] <alyyy> hey, I'm having trouble installing ubuntu, 16.04 beta 2. the install stops because grub fails to install. any ideas?
[01:16] <j5n3wt0n_> alyyy: yikes, i thought i had problems.
[01:16] <r00st3r3_> alyyy: Use the live CD and install grub manually
[01:18] <alyyy> j5n3wt0n_, haha, right?
[01:18] <alyyy> I'm using the live cd.  totally clean install, wiping the HD
[01:19] <alyyy> r00st3r3_, I tried `sudo grub-update /dev/sda` too
[01:20] <alyyy> tried fiddeling with bios settings too. no idea.
[01:20] <j5n3wt0n_> alyyy: well, ive only managed to overwrite the windows portion of my hard drive.  you are trying something much more acomplished.
[01:21] <r00st3r3_> alyyy what error do you get with the installer?
[01:21] <alyyy> j5n3wt0n_, dang dude that sucks
[01:21] <alyyy> r00st3r3_, I'm going to go through it one more time and copy the exact message
[01:21] <j5n3wt0n_> alyyy: true, but im laughing about it.  just dont tell bill gates.
[01:23] <r00st3r3_> j5n3wt0n: it is better that way... no need for Windows when you have Linux.
[01:23] <alyyy> j5n3wt0n_ fell for it! linux forever!
[01:24] <Techspectre> What's a good GUI utility to automatically sync photos from your Android phone to your Ubuntu machine over the network?
[01:24] <j5n3wt0n_> alyyy: im sure i will too.  already enjoying not having the problems i had with windows.
[01:25] <Techspectre> I tried installing Daemon Sync but it doesn't work. Just whines about something about XFCE, which I don't use.
[01:26] <r00st3r3_> Techspectre, what about Google Photo.
[01:26] <Techspectre> r00st3r3_, that would work but it uploads to Google's servers
[01:27] <Techspectre> I'm looking for a utility that automatically uploads to your own machine
[01:27] <j5n3wt0n_> is eyefi compatible with linux?
[01:27] <r00st3r3_> Techspectre, use a backup utility. That would sync up.
[01:28] <r00st3r3_> Techspectre, just point it from the phone to the computer and vice versa
[01:32] <j5n3wt0n> goodnight world.  the eyelids are getting heavy.
[01:33] <Techspectre> r00st3r3_, hm. Well now I'm learning about something called 'google photo auto backup tool'
[01:34] <r00st3r3_> Techspectre, There is also a android app called syncme wireless that may do the trick.
[01:38] <goddard> how can i get moka icons installed nowadays?
[01:38] <Techspectre> goddard, snwh has a ppa
[01:39] <Techspectre> r00st3r3_, thanks I'm looking at it
[01:40] <alyyy> well I tried installing it again and grub went okay. but now on the new install the mouse dosn't work.  sometimes.  usually the right click.  but then it fixes itself sometimes.  sigh, I need a new computer or something...
[01:41] <r00st3r3_> alyyy, well it is beta 2
[01:41] <r00st3r3_> alyyy, not going to be as stable as LTS
[01:43] <goddard> Techspectre: i tried it and it failed to add the pppa
[01:43] <alyyy> r00st3r3_ it's true.  my old install worked fine though.  I think it's just my computer, the mouse acts up on other distros sometimes too.
[01:43] <alyyy> it's a very odd bug though
[01:44] <r00st3r3_> alyyy, does lsusb show the correct name for the mouse?
[01:44] <Techspectre> goddard, what did it say?
[01:44] <goddard> not a valid PPA
[01:44] <Eliter-Ubuntu> Any applications for Google Voice?
[01:45] <alyyy> r00st3r3_, I'm just going to restore my old install at this point, I'm done fighting for tonight :p
[01:45] <goddard> Techspectre: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:moka/moka-icon-theme
[01:45] <alyyy> r00st3r3_, thanks for the help though
[01:45] <Techspectre> goddard, what is the result?
[01:45] <r00st3r3_> alyyy, np
[01:48] <alyyy> night all

[02:41] <DeaDSouL> Hi, in samba server, none of (create mask, force create mode, security mask, force security mode) works with any created file, if the directory was a symbolic link to a folder out of the shared path, (ps: follow symlinks, wide links are set to yes) how can I force the created files to have a mask of 664 instead of the default wich 670 ?
[02:42] <solo> ubuntu 15.10 with cinnamon 2.8
[02:44] <r00st3r3_> solo, have you added PPA's? It is trying to get ZorinOS packages

[03:11] <ner0x> Hello all, is there a different scanning suite besides SimpleScan that I can use?
[03:11] <reisio> ner0x: why
[03:13] <ner0x> reisio: Doesn't save the format type when I try to save.
[03:14] <David-A> ner0x: there is Xsane

[03:17] <vfw> What is the kernel version supposed to be for fully updated 14.04?
[03:17] <solo> 3.16
[03:18] <solo> can someone help me burn a .iso for install of lubuntu
[03:20] <Bashing-om> !hwe | vfw
[03:20] <vfw> So what would it be for a fully updated 32bit install of Ubuntu right now?
[03:22] <Bashing-om> vfw: ^^So the kernel you are tunning depends on the X stack that is installed .
[03:22] <David-A> solo: "help me burn a .iso"? i suppose you have to burn yourself. you want instructions? what do you want to know?
[03:26] <vfw> Thanks for the response(s).  I'm trying to help a friend with a buggy Ubuntu system.  It's been pretty unstable since 12.04 to 14.04 upbrade.  Here is dmesg he just provided for us to look at: https://vhbin.net/code/dmpm76mvcyc5/
[03:29] <r00st3r3_> vfw, backup wipe format full reinstall... That is what I like to do. Makes it easier.
[03:29] <Bashing-om> !info linux-image-generic trusty
[03:30] <Bashing-om> vfw: You are running the latest kernel for 14.04 standard . In a quick look at your dmesg, I see no faults . What is the issue ?
[03:33] <vfw> r00st3r3_: I agree. I think he should do re-install
[03:34] <vfw> Bashing-om: I see something that is interesting:
[03:34] <vfw> ACPI BIOS Warning (bug): Optional FADT field Pm2ControlBlock has zero address or length: 0x0000000000000000/0x1 (20131115/tbfadt-603)
[03:35] <vfw> I'm wondering if he should look for bois update?
[03:38] <mnathani> I am trying to setup vlans on my ethernet interface, but no luck
[03:39] <r00st3r3_> vfw, does the BIOS have a noirqpoll option?
[03:40] <SagelessFox2> %wz
[03:40] <r00st3r3_> vfw, if it does and it works it is because the BIOS firmware is broken. It will need reflashed more than likely.

[04:46] <dax> open terminal, go to folder, ls > outputfile
[04:46] <davido> that won't produce one per line.
[04:47] <dax> yes, it will
[04:47] <Rhorse> ls -1 doesn't work?
[04:47] <dax> -1 is default behavior when stdout is redirected to file

[06:00] <hateball> emadhelmi: From what and to what are you trying to upgrade?
[06:02] <emadhelmi> hateball, From 14.04 to 15.04(which the system updater recommended)
[06:03] <hateball> emadhelmi: That is not a supported upgrade path
[06:03] <hateball> emadhelmi: Wait for 16.04 to be released, then upgrade to that
[06:03] <emadhelmi> hateball, the software updater told me whether to upgrade ? i say yes
[06:04] <hateball> emadhelmi: That sounds strange, as both 14.10 and 15.04 are EOL
[06:04] <hateball> emadhelmi: Are you sure you are on 14.04? Run "cat /etc/issue" in a terminal

[06:06] <emadhelmi> so what should i do?
[06:06] <emadhelmi> hateball,
[06:06] <hateball> emadhelmi: At any rate, don't do any release-upgrades until you are offered 16.04 or you may end up in a bad spot
[06:06] <emadhelmi> hateball, ok dear thx :-)
[06:06] <hateball> emadhelmi: Go into the update-managers properties and check that it only offers you LTS upgrades
[06:07] <hateball> emadhelmi: Otherwise it might try and upgrade you to a version you cant upgrade from. 14.04 -> 16.04 is supported
[06:08] <emadhelmi> hateball, thx dear
[06:14] <Mr_Cyclops> Hi, need to know if there is a GUI version of rsync or a similar GUI tool that uses rsync in the backend
[06:14] <thekrynn_> hey all.. been a while since I've been on IRC. Doing some low level network debugging on a lot of ubuntu machines and think verizon is the culprit. Any ideas of a good channel for that sort of chat?
[06:14] <Mr_Cyclops> I have tried conduit but didn't like it very much, tried Google, but didn't find something that I would fall in love with
[06:16] <SuperLag> vep00__: stop with the /version crap
[06:32] <WoodyPC> If I am using DVI on my desktop to HDMI on my TV, Why is it that my sound doesn't work? And what can I do to get it working?
[06:33] <thekrynn_> dvi doesnt carry audio like dvi does.. typically it's recommended for DVI runs to also run optical along with it
[06:33] <thekrynn_> err.. like hdmi does
[06:34] <thekrynn_> with hdmi to hdmi, its also recommended to test what codecs are supported on the tv/receiver, like dolby, truhd, etc
[06:35] <WoodyPC> ok
[06:35] <WoodyPC> is there another way to make the sound work on the tv?
[06:35] <thekrynn_> does your tv have an optical in?
[06:36] <WoodyPC> i dont have a yep, tried that
[06:36] <thekrynn_> they do have hdmi + optical to hdmi converter boxes, but they're a waste of money IMHO
[06:36] <thekrynn_> worst case, id recommend a 1/8" to RCA y splitter
[06:36] <thekrynn_> only will get you stereo though
[06:36] <thekrynn_> it's a laptop or dekstop?
[06:37] <WoodyPC> desktop
[06:37] <thekrynn_> could always look into a PCI card for HDMI
[06:38] <WoodyPC> If I use a vga connection on the tv and a audio cable, will that work?
[06:38] <thekrynn_> yeah... technically if you're not using HDMI out of your computer, you'll just need to run a separate audio cable
[06:38] <thekrynn_> so if you run vga or dvi, all you have to do is either run optical, or run out of your headphone port
[06:39] <thekrynn_> the other thing you could potentially do, also cheap.. is analog out of your deskopt, like headphone port, to an AD converter
[06:39] <WoodyPC> ok, I'll try that.
[06:39] <thekrynn_> little box that converts to an optical 2 channel out that your TV would take... nearly all TVs with HDMI all have optical
[06:39] <thekrynn_> you can find those on ebay for dirt cheap, theyve been out ofr a decade
[06:40] <WoodyPC> cool
[06:42] <thekrynn_> also look for USB to optical
[06:42] <thekrynn_> that might be cheaper and support 5.1
[06:45] <WoodyPC> i have found what you are talking about at Radio Shack. I am going tomorrow.
[06:46] <thekrynn_> sweet :-)
[06:46] <thekrynn_> they're great for stuff like that
[06:47] <WoodyPC> thanks for the help.
[06:48] <thekrynn_> no prob
[06:52] <Traf> hai
[06:52] <Traf> ping
[06:54] <thekrynn_> anyone a pro with tracerouting?
[06:54] <Blue1> not really but maybe I could answer a simple question
[06:56] <thekrynn_> ive been having an issue with my ISP telling me that the performance issues ive been having are issues with my own hardware and/or the destination servers im trying. It's 3 different lines though (all theirs) and ive tried both remote regular servers and speedtest servers, and so it is their handoffs
[06:56] <thekrynn_> i havent been able to reproduce where the issue is with traceroute though... havent been able to put a finger on wehre the issue might be
[07:07] <Blue1> traceroute shows the path to destination.
[07:08] <Blue1> I am doing 300 things at once here sorry for delayed response.
[07:09] <thekrynn_> no way to tell where packet loss might be occuring along the way?
[07:10] <Tm_T> thekrynn_: you might like to test what mtr says
[07:11] <thekrynn_> thanks for the tip, taking a look
[07:14] <Blue1> usually the last in the list.  what site are you trying to reach?
 thanks, that did help a TON
[07:27] <thekrynn_> from the look of it, one of our ISPs routing hops to handoffs to other ISPs is having an issue
[07:39] <Ascavasaion> Is there a way to edit the commandline entry in the menu system of Ubuntu's desktop that will make the application open on Desktop 2 when it is selected from the menu?
[07:40] <cfhowlett> Ascavasaion, there ... somewhere in the guts of unity.
[07:41] <Ascavasaion> cfhowlett: heehhe coolios.
[07:41] <cfhowlett> Ascavasaion, don't know if there is a unity forum/channel but if so, they would know
[07:42] <Ascavasaion> cfhowlett: thank you, I appreciate the pointer
[07:42] <cfhowlett> happy2help! Ascavasaion
[07:42] <trijntje> Ascavasaion: you used to be able to set that using the compiz config desktop manager
[07:43] <Ascavasaion> trijntje: I will look into that.  thanks guys for always being so helpful.
[08:05] <abdellah> come on
[08:16] <frechdachs69> Q: is there some official repository where I can get Qt 5.6 for Ubuntu 14.04 from?
[08:18] <Mr> hello
[08:18] <lotuspsychje> frechdachs69: its recommended to use package versions for your specific ubuntu version
[08:18] <lotuspsychje> !latest | frechdachs69
[08:19] <mcphail> frechdachs69: the official repos are the ones installed by default. Everything else is unsupported
[08:22] <Mr> gathek
[08:22] <Mr> gathel
[08:24] <DiamondSword> how can I give full access to /opt directory? I cannot install on /opt directory. sudo chmod 775 /opt didn't work.
[08:24] <ikonia> DiamondSword: a.) what are you trying to install b.) how are you trying to install it
[08:25] <DiamondSword> ikonia, 1 Pentaho 2 ./pentaho.sh (on the terminal
[08:26] <ikonia> DiamondSword: you'll probably need to run that with sudo
[08:26] <ikonia> I'd advise caution
[08:26] <Bernzel> Hello. Could someone help me with my software updates? I don't have enough free disk space on /boot. I've tried autoremove and clean, emtied the trash (for no reason?)
[08:26] <ikonia> Bernzel: how big is /boot
[08:27] <Bernzel> ikonia, 128,8 MB
[08:27] <ikonia> why did you make it that small
[08:27] <Bernzel> I haven't touched it
[08:27] <cfhowlett> Bernzel, way too small.  you'll need to manually delete some kernels
[08:27] <ikonia> thats crazy small
[08:28] <ikonia> Bernzel: open the package manager, search for linux-image, then purge the ones you don't need/want any more
[08:28] <ikonia> but to be honest - I'd look at fixing the size on that boot partition, thats way too small
[08:28] <ikonia> how you do that depends on your situation
[08:28] <Bernzel> ikonia, in what order? Fix boot size first? OR purge first?
[08:28] <ikonia> depends on your situtation
[08:29] <cfhowlett> Bernzel, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-ubuntu-linux-delete-old-kernel-images-command/
[08:31] <Bernzel> cfhowlett, ok but how do I know which kernels I need to delete? All but the latest?
[08:32] <cfhowlett> all but the TWO most recent
[08:32] <Bernzel> ah okey
[08:32] <cfhowlett> small numbers = old versions
[08:33] <mikhael_k33hl> How do I give access to my primary user to all directories of my system? It'll giv eme a "Permission Denied" error when accessing some directories like /var/lib/*, and when running sudo cd, it'll say sudo: cd: command not found
[08:33] <ikonia> mikhael_k33hl: you can't sudo cd
[08:33] <ikonia> mikhael_k33hl: what exactly are you trying to do
[08:34] <Bernzel> cfhowlett, so in this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15779961/ I should remove the 3.13 ? Just checking to be sure
[08:34] <mikhael_k33hl> ikonia, go to that directory
[08:34] <ikonia> mikhael_k33hl: your user should be able to interact with anything it needs to, and for anything above that the sudo elevation should be fine - so what is it you can't do / you're trying to do
[08:34] <ikonia> mikhael_k33hl: what exact command ar eyou using
[08:34] <mikhael_k33hl> cd /var/lib/docker/
[08:34] <cfhowlett> Bernzel, yep, all those 3.13* can go
[08:34] <mikhael_k33hl> ikonia, cd /var/lib/docker/
[08:34] <ikonia> mikhael_k33hl: ok - so what installed docker
[08:34] <ikonia> mikhael_k33hl: what's the permissions on that directory
[08:35] <mikhael_k33hl> ikonia, root
[08:35] <ikonia> mikhael_k33hl: how did you install docker
[08:36] <mikhael_k33hl> ikonia, sudo apt-get
[08:36] <ikonia> mikhael_k33hl: ok, so what are the exact permissions on /var/lib/docker please
[08:36] <Bernzel> cfhowlett, there we go. I've deleted it. Should I do anything else? Or should I expand the boot dir now?
[08:36] <mikhael_k33hl> ikonia, oh yeah I just checked the directory permission, it says 701
[08:37] <ikonia> that is not the default permissions for docker
[08:37] <ikonia> someone has changed them
[08:37] <cfhowlett> Bernzel, if you bookmark that page, you can make a point of regularly cleaning your system
[08:37] <cfhowlett> and not expand the /boot
[08:37] <mikhael_k33hl> ikonia, hmmm, it's drwx - - -  - -x
[08:38] <ikonia> mikhael_k33hl: yes, you said
[08:38] <ikonia> mikhael_k33hl: someone has changed that
[08:38] <ikonia> mikhael_k33hl: what is the owner/group
[08:38] <mikhael_k33hl> ikonia, root root
[08:38] <Bernzel> cfhowlett, yeah looks like it was enough to just clear out that kernel. Updates are running
[08:38] <ikonia> mikhael_k33hl: I would be concerned about who has changed your file permissions
[08:38] <ikonia> mikhael_k33hl: then you need to fix those file permissions to somethingyou are comfortable with
[08:38] <cfhowlett> Bernzel, yep.  run the list of kernels again and clean out up to the most recent 2 kernels
[08:39] <mikhael_k33hl> ikonia, that would not be possible since I'm the only one who has access to my computer, not if someone is lurking in it, oohhh hehehe
[08:39] <ikonia> mikhael_k33hl: that is possible
[08:39] <ikonia> mikhael_k33hl: as that's what has happened
[08:40] <DiamondSword> ikonia, I've did sudo chmod 775 /opt and run executable file with sudo and it worked ok, but I wonder if the program tries to write something to /opt directory, will I have errors or do you think all is ok because I've already did chmod 775 on the same directory ?
[08:40] <ikonia> mikhael_k33hl: simple solution, fix the permissions/group to something you are comfortable with
[08:40] <Bernzel> cfhowlett, I noticed there are "extra" ones on that list too, should I remove those aswell?
[08:40] <ikonia> DiamondSword: you should not have changed /opt
[08:40] <ikonia> DiamondSword: thats not what I told you to do
[08:40] <cfhowlett> all but the two most recent "extras".  you are no doubt detecting the pattern here           :)
[08:40] <ikonia> DiamondSword: if something access /opt - it will need the appropriate permissions to work, eg: read, read/write, read/write/execute
[08:40] <ikonia> it depends on the application
[08:41] <Bernzel> cfhowlett, yeah (: just want to make sure I don't break my system
[08:41] <Sumedh123> hi
[08:41] <Sumedh123> i have a problem
[08:41] <DiamondSword> ikonia, I want to install my programs on /opt dir
[08:41] <cfhowlett> Bernzel, understandable.   by way of comparison, see mine.  note that I just performed spring cleaning  http://paste.ubuntu.com/15780161/
[08:41] <DiamondSword> and some of them want to write on that dir
[08:41] <DiamondSword> how can I do that safely, ikonia ?
[08:41] <ikonia> DiamondSword: right - and if you just used sudo as I told you - it would have worked
[08:41] <ikonia> I have no idea why you didn't just do what I told you to do
[08:42] <Bernzel> cfhowlett, Got it! Spring cleaning day it is. Thanks :)
[08:42] <cfhowlett> happy2help! Bernzel
[08:42] <DiamondSword> bleh.. how can I go back to default on /opt dir permissions, ikonia ?
[08:47] <ikonia> DiamondSword: you can't
[08:47] <ikonia> DiamondSword: you'd have to manually reset them
[08:50] <mikhael_k33hl> ikonia, so you're saying that when installing a package the default owner should be my user?
[08:50] <ikonia> mikhael_k33hl: no, the permissions are set by the package
[08:50] <ikonia> mikhael_k33hl: what was the name of the package you installed
[08:52] <mikhael_k33hl> ikonia, docker-engine
[08:53] <ikonia> !info docker-engine
[08:53] <ikonia> mikhael_k33hl: what version of ubuntu ?
[08:53] <mikhael_k33hl> ikonia, 14.04 I aadded the repo via deb https://apt.dockerproject.org/repo ubuntu-trusty main
[08:53] <ikonia> mikhael_k33hl: ok - so it's not an official ubuntu package
[08:53] <ikonia> mikhael_k33hl: in which case talk to the docker guys to support their package
[08:54] <mikhael_k33hl> ikonia, oh okay, sorry about that
[08:54] <ikonia> mikhael_k33hl: no need for sorry
[08:54] <ikonia> it's your box
[08:54] <mikhael_k33hl> ikonia, so the package defines the default permission and owner?
[08:54] <ikonia> mikhael_k33hl: correct
[08:55] <mikhael_k33hl> ikonia, okay thanks for that info
[09:13] <forbiddenera> running dist-upgrade and kernel going to 3.13.0-85 stalls right after (during?) generating grub config file .. if I ^c it, its broken. seems to be filed as a bug, anyone know how to work around?
[09:13] <forbiddenera> 4 sep systems seeing the prob concurrently
[09:13] <proc_> I've installed ubuntu openstack with autopilot. Then I would like to use juju to install services upon openstack. But I don't see how I can take use of the autopilot juju to install openstack services such as ceilometer/trove to my existing openstack. When I use juju bootstrap it just creates a new environment inside my openstack environment. Any idea?
[09:15] <forbiddenera> ya update-grub is stalling
[09:25] <aqualaguna> test
[09:26] <lotuspsychje> forbiddenera: ubuntu version?
[09:26] <aqualaguna> 14.0.4.3
[09:27] <forbiddenera> 14.04.4
[09:27] <forbiddenera> just spawned a new vps and experiencing same prob
[09:28] <forbiddenera> before getting to 3.13.0-85
[09:28] <TheHackOps> I have a USB mic attached to my PC that is correctly displaying in the Input section of ubuntu's sound manager but the input itself it greyed out
[09:28] <lotuspsychje> !info linux-image-generic trusty
[09:28] <TheHackOps> Any ideas?
[09:28] <popey> TheHackOps: restart pulseaudio
[09:28] <popey> TheHackOps: pulseaudio -k
[09:28] <lotuspsychje> forbiddenera: did you mess with manual kernel install in the past, ppa's added?
[09:29] <forbiddenera> nope but these are vps images on a pub openstack
[09:29] <forbiddenera> afaik they're just vanilla ubu images though
[09:29] <lotuspsychje> forbiddenera: try a sudo update-grub perhaps?
[09:30] <TheHackOps> popey, Perfect
[09:30] <forbiddenera> yeah it stalls
[09:30] <TheHackOps> Thanks
[09:30] <forbiddenera> during os-prober
[09:30] <popey> TheHackOps: no problem
[09:30] <TheHackOps> I could have just restarted my pc but you know
[09:30] <TheHackOps> so much editing work open
[09:32] <lotuspsychje> forbiddenera: did you test a seperate sudo update-grub also, instead of update?
[09:32] <forbiddenera> :(
[09:33] <forbiddenera> yes
[09:33] <forbiddenera> finds two kernels and waits forever unless i break it
[09:34] <forbiddenera> at which point it gives an error about things not existing in /tmp which doesn't really apply
[09:34] <lotuspsychje> forbiddenera: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1457353
[09:35] <forbiddenera> unfortunately, I don't think that's it. during update, it did ask.
[09:35] <forbiddenera> and I said it was OK to overwrite, which I maybe shouldn't have.
[09:35] <forbiddenera> tested that on a fifth system and wasn't asked
[09:37] <forbiddenera> 14.04.2 was the starting version
[09:37] <lotuspsychje> forbiddenera: .2 is outdated..
[09:37] <forbiddenera> which is why im updating..
[09:37] <forbiddenera> .2 is whats on the stack, i dont admin the stack to update glance.
[09:38] <lotuspsychje> forbiddenera: tried a sudo apt-get update also?
[09:38] <forbiddenera> course
[09:38] <lotuspsychje> forbiddenera: how about enter grub, loading a previous kernel and try the same
[09:39] <forbiddenera> i'm still on the previous (only) kernel
[09:40] <forbiddenera> trying new vm, keeping /boot/grub/menu.lst doesn't change anything
[09:42] <lotuspsychje> forbiddenera: how about cleaning system/kernels a bit
[09:43] <lotuspsychje> forbiddenera: i use bleachbit to clean out previous kernels
[09:44] <forbiddenera> there's only 1 other kernel, the one i launched/booted from.
[09:44] <lotuspsychje> right
[09:45] <forbiddenera> the issue is in /usr/bin/os-prober
[09:45] <ikonia> you can't update the kernels like that
[09:45] <BlackRainbow> is Bumblebee a good choice for Intel + Nvidia hybrid graphics on Ubuntu 14.04 or is there an official solution?
[09:45] <ikonia> it's para-virtual
[09:46] <ikonia> BlackRainbow: pretty sure bumblebee is dead
[09:46] <forbiddenera> line 114
[09:46] <ikonia> forbiddenera: is this paravm or hvm ?
[09:46] <lotuspsychje> BlackRainbow: nvidia-prime is the alternative now
[09:46] <forbiddenera> hvm
[09:47] <Jsync> Is that a humus joke?
[09:47] <BlackRainbow> lotuspsychje: is there any tutorial how to install and configure it properly? I've been trying for 2 weeks to solve my black-sreen-on-boot problem without success
[09:48] <lotuspsychje> BlackRainbow: graphics card chipset and driver loaded please?
[09:48] <forbiddenera> i think os-prober is stalling b/c I have no swap
[09:49] <Jsync> I'd suggest you're duo & a little late
[09:49] <lotuspsychje> BlackRainbow: you can check additional drivers section, to see wich drivers are available for you
[09:49] <BlackRainbow> umm Intel I3 4005u, GeForce GT840M and literally all drivers tested, from 340 through 352 to 36x
[09:49] <BlackRainbow> by default it offers 340 and 352
[09:49] <BlackRainbow> none of them works, -updates or not
[09:50] <lotuspsychje> BlackRainbow: did you try higher ubuntu versions for your card? 15.10/16.04?
[09:50] <BlackRainbow> if I try to switch to the graphics card on Nvidia X Settings _before_ reboot it shows an empty error message
[09:50] <BlackRainbow> 15.10 also doesn't work
[09:50] <BlackRainbow> it worked before with 14.04 but i had to reinstall
[09:51] <lotuspsychje> BlackRainbow: your optimus cards need the right driver version + nvidia-prime + enable performance mode in nvidia-settings
[09:51] <BlackRainbow> (or I wasn't aware that I can change graphical unit in nvidia settings and I was running on intel)
[09:52] <BlackRainbow> so basically if I just install the packages with apt and enable it, it should work?
[09:52] <Jsync> There's a city block & on the city block are 10 houses. You're all one of the residents of the 10 houses (hypothetically of particular context). Which one of you are going to argue that it's a city block & you all come & go as you please & then totally disregard the validity of segregation of the 10 houses?
[09:52] <BlackRainbow> no xorg-conf editing or anything?
[09:52] <lotuspsychje> BlackRainbow: no xorg editing
[09:52] <forbiddenera> a solution to my problem: https://blog.wjonker.nl/os-prober-problem-on-ubuntu/ ?
[09:52] <lotuspsychje> BlackRainbow: but recommended to get your system to latest up to date also, then choose an available driver for your system
[09:53] <Jsync> It's "_Segregation_". ;)
[09:53] <xro> Hi, i'm looking for a way to enhance photos (in CLI if possible).  I would like something quite simple like a auto-tune. Do you know a way?
[09:53] <BlackRainbow> I did that
[09:53] <lotuspsychje> xro: gimp or krita
[09:53] <forbiddenera> and fixed
[09:53]  * forbiddenera slaps stupid script
[09:53] <lotuspsychje> !yay | forbiddenera
[09:54] <xro> lotuspsychje, no way to do : gimp <improve my bad photos> *
[09:54] <forbiddenera> don't really need os probing on a could vm anyway
[09:54] <forbiddenera> don't think ima dual boot my vm ..
[09:55] <forbiddenera> think the only reason id ever try and do something dumb like that is if i was developing a boot loader or efi stuff haha
[09:55] <forbiddenera> ok back to installing openstack on openstack and maybe on openstack
[09:55] <calamity> Hey all, tried to log into ubuntu today, had a 'you are disconnected from the network' message pop up and then it just dumped me on what I guess is the desktop, but with no menus, etc.
[09:56] <forbiddenera> calamity : U BROKEZ IT
[09:56] <lotuspsychje> !info aaphoto | xro
[09:56] <calamity> forbiddenera, yeah I guess so.
[09:56] <calamity> I can still SSH in
[09:57] <BlackRainbow> I found a site which tells about a similar error like mine, the question is: may it work or not? my laptop is now running with bumblebee and *looks* fine, however if it worth a try I'll reinstall https://seravo.fi/2015/fixing-black-screen-after-login-in-ubuntu-14-04
[09:58] <lotuspsychje> BlackRainbow: bumblebee is outdated mate
[09:58] <BlackRainbow> yeah now I realize, but it was the only option left
[09:59] <lotuspsychje> BlackRainbow: you said you had it working before on trusty...
[09:59] <BlackRainbow> yeah but I guess some kind of update messed it up
[09:59] <Jsync> Simon says, "Impressive".
[09:59] <lotuspsychje> Jsync: stop that please
[09:59] <ikonia> BlackRainbow: why can you not use the nvidia tool ?
[09:59] <ikonia> why is bumblebee "the only option"
[10:00] <BlackRainbow> my laptop wasn't willing to turn off, only for hard reset, so I tought a clean install is easier than a chase for the bug
[10:00] <BlackRainbow> ikonia: it only shows an empty error message
[10:00] <forbiddenera> calamity : then you didnt break it lol
[10:00] <ikonia> why does that make bumblebee the only option ?
[10:00] <vak> why this doesn't match? ==>    [[ "a c" =~ "ab? c" ]] && echo expected a match
[10:00] <BlackRainbow> like this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/450154/nvidia-331-nvidia-settings-prime-profile-switching-error
[10:00] <calamity> forbiddenera ... thanks buddy! I guess it's all good
[10:00] <forbiddenera> calamity : you could always uninstall and reinstall the gui from ssh but id use that as a last resort unless you has nothing you care about in gui
[10:01] <BlackRainbow> well, I googled for a lot of solutions, added several PPA-s, tried the .sh nvidia driver, still black screen after reboot
[10:01] <BlackRainbow> only nouveau worked
[10:01] <lotuspsychje> BlackRainbow: can you recall wich driver ubuntu chosen at your clean install? did you enable internet/updates during setup?
[10:01] <calamity> forbiddenera, yeah I might just see if there's an error log...
[10:01] <BlackRainbow> I can't recall, but yes I enabled the updates during setup
[10:02] <lotuspsychje> BlackRainbow: try loading previous kernel perhaps, as a test..if you say its after an update?
[10:04] <BlackRainbow> I haven't tought of that to tell the truth
[10:04] <lotuspsychje> BlackRainbow: a 16.04 daily test would also be an idea
[10:06] <BlackRainbow> if I install the beta, then if the final comes out and I update, I get a fully working system, or I need to reinstall when it comes out to make sure?
[10:06] <lotuspsychje> !final | BlackRainbow
[10:06] <BlackRainbow> thank you :) I'll try that then
[10:06] <Jsync> If the popularity contest were really a contest, then I guess that explains suggestion that the British population is suggested greater in a contrasted compare what the Isle of Britain could hold for population if the total isle were filled with 2 story apartments from coast to coast.
[10:06] <BlackRainbow> I really appreciate your help
[10:07] <lotuspsychje> Jsync: plz stop the offtopic in ubuntu support
[10:07] <lotuspsychje> BlackRainbow: hope you get it straight :p
[10:08] <Jsync> lotuspsycheje, you've heard of the Linux "Popularity Contest", haven't you?
[10:08] <lotuspsychje> BlackRainbow: we had users with your card chipset, working it out for sure
[10:08] <lotuspsychje> ikonia: can you help Jsync here
[10:08] <Jsync> What do you call a British that would suggest a Mayan a Terrorist?
[10:09] <BlackRainbow> I hope so :)
[10:10] <calamity> ... was that sentence generated by markov chains?
[10:10] <lotuspsychje> calamity: dont feed offtopic please
[10:11] <ikonia> sorry
[10:11] <ikonia> was a bit slow, wasn't watching
[10:11] <calamity> lotuspsychje, sorry, didn't see you'd already told them to stop.
[10:14] <Wobbo> Hi, I am wondering if anyone knows how the change app "BirdFont" default setting font. Now I can't read anything, see the url: http://oi67.tinypic.com/1621wxt.jpg
[10:14] <Wobbo> Or, is there any other way to get 2 fonts in one font. The problem is that i want the Ubuntu font, it is great! But,... is has no Arabic. So, I have found a nice one. So, how do I get them in one so it can be used on my website.
[10:14] <Wobbo> The reason by i want them together is that the Arabic text contains "normal" numbers, and the numbers from the Arabic fonts are terrible. And stuff like a person name in a Arabic sentence will look weird.
[10:14] <Wobbo> I hope someone can help me. :'(  :D
[10:15] <calamity> Hm. Reinstalled ubuntu-desktop and unity, still nothing launches...
[10:22] <SirZzyzx> hey all
[10:22] <SirZzyzx> riddle me this:
[10:22] <SirZzyzx> http://pastebin.com/RsLwJZSi
[10:24] <calamity> you probably need to just use dpkg
[10:24] <calamity> SirZzyzx, ^
[10:25] <SirZzyzx> well screw me
[10:25] <woiwoiwoiwoiw> hi guys
[10:25] <lotuspsychje> !language | SirZzyzx
[10:25] <SirZzyzx> that did it thanks.  3:30AM my mind is a blur
[10:26] <woiwoiwoiwoiw> is it possible to add icon launcher on unity sidebar?
[10:26] <woiwoiwoiwoiw> I want to run my shell script just from clicking it on the sidebar
[10:26] <woiwoiwoiwoiw> how to?
[10:28] <calamity> woiwoiwoiwoiw, you'll need to tell y our file browser (nautilus probably). File -> preferences -> behaviour
[10:31] <JotaZG> This is only a test to my class.
[10:31] <rud0lf> woiwoiwoiwoiw: i think you need to make a .desktop file
[10:31] <d3bug_> woiwoiwoiwoiw, you can "lock" your script to the sidebar (if you're using Unity desktop)
[10:32] <rud0lf> and drag it to the sidebar
[10:33] <JotaZG> _28_ria: This is only a test to my class.
[10:35] <bazhang> JotaZG, try #test for that

[11:22] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[11:25] <readonly> Can someone assist me with getting freerdp to connect to a windows 2008 server with multimon support?
[11:25] <readonly> I am only able to get spanning to work, and that is not helpful
[11:35] <Cablegunmaster> Trying to make a bash script but it keeps just opening the text editor instead. if I double click on it.
[11:35] <Cablegunmaster> any way to restore / change this functionality? :)
[11:36] <readonly> Cablegunmaster u want to edit the script?
[11:36] <Cablegunmaster> Well I made a small edition, it worked fine before but now it just opens a text editor
[11:36] <Cablegunmaster> instead
[11:37] <Cablegunmaster> I made a small script just to see If I could automate a few commands.
[11:37] <geirha> make sure it has a valid shebang, and make it executable if you want to run it
[11:39] <readonly> can u pastebin what u have
[11:39] <readonly> you likely need to chmod +x foo.sh
[11:39] <readonly> then u can run it all day long
[11:39] <Cablegunmaster> chmod and exec done.
[11:39] <readonly> pastebin script?
[11:39] <Cablegunmaster> a sec

[11:43] <mixa> hello
[11:43] <mixa> anybody here
[11:43] <mixa> ?
[11:43] <Cablegunmaster> yup :p
[11:44] <readonly> well I jsut dumped what u had into a test.sh
[11:44] <readonly> did a chmod +x test.sh
[11:44] <readonly> and ./test.sh ran it
[11:44] <Cablegunmaster> ah well, issue #2 is it can't find my directory.
[11:45] <readonly> if I double click it from linux gui, it asks do i want to run it as a script
[11:45] <readonly> and i run it, it works
[11:45] <Cablegunmaster> ah okay xD
[11:45] <Cablegunmaster> Gonna remake the file somewhere else and retry :p
[11:46] <readonly> haha, as far as not finding your directory
[11:46] <geirha> What editor(s) have you used? could be it has gotten windows line endings
[11:46] <mixa> i need a help with ubuntu server 14.04 i have server behind router on ip 192.168.0.75 and that ip is in DMZ on router. I need to add specific network to virtual adapter. like ip 217.18.18.125 is my ip mask is 255.255.255.128 and gateway is 217.18.18.1 but when i add it to /etc/network/interfeces like eth:1 i cant ping gateway
[11:47] <readonly> can you "cd /Development/react-native/EDHApp" from a terminal
[11:47] <geirha> also, you should never run cd in a script without checking if it failed.  cd /some/dir || exit
[11:47] <readonly> or is the Development folder in your home directory?
[11:47] <readonly> perhaps it should be cd ~/Development/react-native/EDHApp
[11:47] <Cablegunmaster> yeah that failed ^^;; so I guess I got my answer :)
[11:47] <garshol> !16.10
[11:48] <readonly> Cablegunmaster does cd ~/Development/react-native/EDHApp  work
[11:48] <BluesKaj> garshol, no such distro...yet
[11:48] <Cablegunmaster> while opening a normal terminal it does readonly
[11:48] <Cablegunmaster> so I have to figure out the difference.
[11:48] <readonly> change your script to have the ~ in front of your CD
[11:48] <readonly> in front of cd*
[11:48] <readonly> and that should fix the script?
[11:49] <garshol> I know BluesKaj. ;) just looking at what the bot "knew"!.
[11:50] <Cablegunmaster> nah , user permission is the problem. its running as root I want it running as my user :p
[11:51] <BluesKaj> garshol, we won't know anything about 16.10 until 16.04 is released or some time later
[11:51] <readonly> why is it running as root? Are you logged in as root?
[11:51] <readonly> That is weird
[11:51] <Cablegunmaster> terminal is running as root
[11:53] <Jakey3> Hi I went on some streaming sites using lubuntu on firefox is it possible they could have compromised my installation
[11:53] <Cablegunmaster> Jakey3 why?
[11:54] <Jakey3> is there any way to check?
[11:54] <Cablegunmaster> what are your symptoms?
[11:54] <Jakey3> Cablegunmaster, i have browser history disabled when i shutdown and reloaded firefox the video site loaded up when i enetered gmail.com
[11:54] <Jakey3> it not a porn site
[11:55] <Cablegunmaster> is it happening on other occasions as well?
[11:55] <Cablegunmaster> or just once?
[11:55] <Jakey3> now when i go to gmail.com seems to be ok
[11:55] <Cablegunmaster> might just be in cache. if its a one time deal dont worry bout it
[11:56] <Jakey3> Cablegunmaster, one time was thinking it could be cache
[11:56] <Jakey3> but was wondering there is a way to check
[11:56] <Cablegunmaster> worse case scenario just reinstall firefox.
[11:56] <Jakey3> Cablegunmaster, ok
[11:56] <l0ll1p0p> Jakey3: you might have had a one firefox open in other workspace and that is why the cache haven't been removed?
[11:57] <readonly> Anyone here hasve experience using multiple monitors with xfreerdp connecting to a windows system?
[11:57] <readonly> I can get multiple monitors to span, but not act as a true multiple monitor setup
[11:57] <Jakey3> l0ll1p0p, i dont believe that to be case as i wasnt using another workspace
[11:58] <Jakey3> i found it strange that it remained in cache
[11:58] <TheFocus> Help:  Could not save properties. You do not have sufficient access to write to /home???  Any ideas?
[11:58] <Jakey3> after a reboot
[11:58] <l0ll1p0p> Jakey3: thats wierd 0_o
[12:04] <geirha> TheFocus: Well, regular users shouldn't have write access to /home
[12:08] <garshol> i know BluesKaj. :)
[12:08] <Cablegunmaster> figured out what went wrong xD. probably opened with too much different text editors
[12:08] <Cablegunmaster> it created ^M hidden text in it xD.
[12:13] <geirha> Cablegunmaster: Right, Windows line-endings

[12:27] <bobby_> hello
[12:27] <bobby_> anyone can help to install fglrx driver
[12:27] <bobby_> i was following many instructions and still fail to install amd driver
[12:28] <bobby_> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV710/M92 [Mobility Radeon HD 4530/4570/545v]
[12:28] <ricebean> Nevermind that. Is there any kind of script that I can use (think sh) to send out newsletters to people? Preferrably a script that can send out emails individually, so the receiver sees only his own email address.
[12:28] <bobby_> my VGA : 4000 HD series
[12:28] <bobby_> anyone can tell me?
[12:28] <bobby_> without uninstall fglrx driver, i want to install and run it
[12:28] <k1l> bobby_: which ubuntu is it exactly?
[12:29] <bobby_> i use 15.10
[12:29] <k1l> bobby_: sudo apt install fglrx
[12:31] <bobby_> i I've tried it three times, i also tried fglrx-updates and not working
[12:31] <k1l> what exactly is not working?
[12:32] <k1l> bobby_: please install the fglrx package. then reboot.
[12:32] <k1l> bobby_: ah wait. what card is it? i think amd dropped the 4000 series
[12:33] <scottder> Ubuntu 14.04 seems to use Samba 4.1, so is it boned when it comes to this Badlock stuff?
[12:33] <k1l> which would mean you cant run fglrx anymore since amd dropped the support.

[12:44] <yva> Hi, I'm trying to upgrade r-base on trusty but to the latest stable version (not dev). The only repos I find seem to be the dev version?
[12:46] <AR10> There was a system update a few days ago (kernel and headers). And since that update, my AC USB wireless card doesnt work. Any ideas?
[12:48] <AR10> the card shows up under lsusb, but the network manager doesnt pick it up
[12:53] <calamity> This is bizarre. Unity isn't launching. I tried making a new account and it still doesn't work
[12:55] <temmi_hoo> k1l: i didn't need to do any superfancy restorations, the machine just needed dpkg --reconfigure -a run by hand a few times and now happens to work just fine even after my botched upgrade straight from 14.04lts to 15.10
[12:56] <temmi_hoo> what went wrong? i edited the one edit from lts to normal but didn't do the other edit to point out to older nonsupported versions repository
[12:57] <temmi_hoo> not that i'd recommend upgrading a system this way, it worked

[13:28] <mikhael_k33hl> How do I update dd's version so it supports progress optioN?
[13:28] <ikonia> mikhael_k33hl: you don't, it's part of coreutils I think
[13:29] <elzaeemnajaf> bay
[13:29] <mikhael_k33hl> ikonia, so it's not supported yet?
[13:29] <mikhael_k33hl> in Ubuntu?
[13:29] <ikonia> I didn't say that
[13:30] <ikonia> I said you don't upgrade, the version you have now, is the version you have for the duration of that ubuntu release
[13:30] <mikhael_k33hl> ikonia, oh okay
[13:30] <mikhael_k33hl> ikonia, why can't i upgrade the core-utils?
[13:31] <ikonia> where are you going to upgrade it from ?
[13:31] <mikhael_k33hl> 14.04
[13:31] <ikonia> mikhael_k33hl: what version are you currently running (of ubuntu)
[13:32] <Pici> mikhael_k33hl: I highly suggest not touching coreutils, its rather core to the system.  You know you can send a USR1 signal to dd to get it to print current progress... right?
[13:32] <ratrace> or use pv
[13:32] <ratrace> dd if=... | pv -br | dd of=...
[13:32] <mikhael_k33hl> Pici, not until now
[13:33] <Geese_Howard> ratrace: ??
[13:33] <Pici> mikhael_k33hl: something like: kill -USR1 $(pidof dd)
[13:34] <ratrace> Geese_Howard: never mind, ignore :)
[13:35] <mikhael_k33hl> Pici, thanks, I'll search on that command to understand it ^^

[13:44] <ash_workz> I get a failed to download error when doing sudo apt-get update (fails at http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/dists/stable/Release)
[13:46] <Bernzel> Anyone can suggest a method to play audio through JACK? I see there's many options, I would simply need youtube to work with JACK
[13:47] <trijntje> Bernzel: obvious answer first, have you tried via the sound menu? (Right click on the speaker icon in the top bar)
[13:47] <daniel> hi guys can you help me install the ati legacy drivers?
[13:48] <Bernzel> trijntje, what am I suppose to do there? It got the same setup as before I used JACK and isn't working.
[13:48] <trijntje> Bernzel: make sure that the correct output is selected in the 'Output' tab. If you do hear sound if you press the Test Sound button you know the problem is youtube, else its all your sound
[13:49] <Pici> Bernzel: if you don't get an answer here, you may want to check out #ubuntustudio, they're much more familiar with JACK there.
[13:49] <Bernzel> Ok I will
[13:50] <Guest30316> hi guys can you help me install the ati legacy drivers?
[13:52] <Guest30316> CAN anyone help me do it? cause Im not able to do it. I'm newbie. I tried with sh ati_blanblabla. run but it displays an error

[13:58] <Hu4x3rf73> hi guys

[13:59] <Geese_Howard> ubuntu497: what commands? show me
[14:00] <ubuntu497> http://www.noobslab.com/2015/09/candra-os-anyone-heard-of-them-their-os.html
[14:00] <ubuntu497> this is the link I followed and installed Candra OS theme
[14:05] <Geese_Howard> ubuntu497: now you just need activate through gui. have you tried?
[14:06] <ubuntu497> yeah I dont know how to do that. Its my first day on Ubuntu so Im still learning things

[14:16] <Mamiko> I use chromium browser
[14:17] <alyyy> Mamiko, probably not, but you should look into using youtube-dl.  it's the best program in the universe and can download anything.
[14:17] <daniel3213125> hi can anyone help me installing ati driver?
[14:17] <alyyy> ok I'm exaggerating a bit but it's a really nice program
[14:18] <Mamiko> alyyy and what about other flash videos not youtube,, for example facebook? or other sites?

[14:20] <alyyy> Mamiko, possibly.  youtube-dl is made for generic video downloading.  you can check the list of supported sites here: https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html
[14:20] <lionelmessi5102> is there a way to do it automatically
[14:20] <Mamiko> ok thanks

[14:22] <d1rewolf>  systemctl status machine-testmachine.scope shows it it indeed still there
[14:22] <d1rewolf> this is on ubuntu 15.10, 4.2.0-35-generic. is there a way to clean this up without rebooting?
[14:23] <Exagone313> Hi, in Cinnamon (can be equivalent in others), when I mount my usb drive in the file explorer (nemo), it mounts using permissions 777, that is wrong. How do I set the permissions to 640 or 750? Thanks for your help.
[14:23] <Exagone313> I mean to change the default permissions used
[14:24] <brainwash> lionelmessi5102: install a display manager like lightdm to handle autologin
[14:26] <lionelmessi5102> I already installed it, but the computer boots to a black screen with with a cursor, and then I have to execute startx.
[14:26] <lionelmessi5102> is there a way to boot direclty to the login manager or the desktop itself?
[14:27] <Exagone313> lionelmessi5102: install a greeter
[14:27] <Exagone313> lightdm-gtk-greeter
[14:27] <Exagone313> and xfce-session or something like that, wait a bit
[14:28] <Exagone313> xfce4-session
[14:28] <lionelmessi5102> I installed lightdm-gtk-greeter, but I don't boot to the login manager or the desktop, instead I go to a black screen with blinking cursor.
[14:28] <EriC^^> lionelmessi5102: typing startx there works?
[14:29] <Exagone313> there - where?
[14:29] <EriC^^> what if you type "ls" there?
[14:29] <Exagone313> in a tty?
[14:29] <Anastasia19> Excuse me. Can I speak to anonymous member?
[14:29] <alyyy> Anastasia19: what do you mean?
[14:30] <Exagone313> Anastasia19: anonirc
[14:30] <lionelmessi5102> EriC^^: Yeah, it boots direclty to the desktop after that.
[14:30] <lionelmessi5102> Exagone313: yes in tty
[14:30] <Exagone313> lionelmessi5102: so I don't understand, when you boot, you have a tty or a black screen with a cursor?
[14:30] <EriC^^> lionelmessi5102: that's odd
[14:31] <scottder> Any word on the state of 14.04, samba and Badlock?
[14:31] <somsip> scottder: do you have a bug references on Launchpad?
[14:31] <lionelmessi5102> I have a black screen with blinking cursor, and then I use Ctrl+Alt+F1 to use the tty
[14:31] <Exagone313> ok
[14:32] <Anastasia19> Where is batman? Or any of his sidekick
[14:32] <ouroumov__> scottder, not that I'm aware of, but we should have news today.
[14:32] <Pici> Anastasia19: Do you have an Ubuntu support question?
[14:32] <Exagone313> dpkg --reconfigure lightdm maybe?
[14:32] <scottder> somsip: No
[14:32] <scottder> ouroumov__: I will keep an eye out. Thanks
[14:32] <Exagone313> do you have xfce4-session installed?
[14:33] <Exagone313> I'm not sure what lightdm does if there is no session available
[14:33] <EriC^^> lionelmessi5102: do you have autologin enabled?
[14:34] <ouroumov__> scottder, the site says 5PM UTC
[14:34] <lionelmessi5102> Exagone313: xfce4-session is installed, I tried dpkg-reconfigure will dpkg --reconfigure be different?
[14:34] <Exagone313> I don't remember
[14:35] <daniel3213125> hi guys can u help me install ati driver I ran the .run file with sh but theres an error
[14:35] <EriC^^> daniel3213125: what's the error?
[14:35] <Exagone313> it's dpkg-reconfigure
[14:36] <lionelmessi5102> I found that in Arch Linux: Make sure to enable lightdm.service so LightDM will be started at boot
[14:36] <lionelmessi5102> maybe that's what it takes to make the system boot automatically to the gui
[14:36] <Exagone313> and as EriC^^ pointed, you may have autologin enabled, and then, if it starts on the xfce4 second session, it just starts xterm
[14:37] <lionelmessi5102> is the autologin enabled per default? because I didn't enable it.
[14:38] <EriC^^> usually it doesn't log in by itself?
[14:39] <lionelmessi5102> Black screen with blinking cursor --- tty --- startx --- Desktop
[14:40] <lionelmessi5102> that are the step I've been through
[14:40] <EriC^^> so it didn't used to work before?
[14:40] <EriC^^> this is a fresh install?
[14:41] <lionelmessi5102> Yes, Ubuntu minimal + XFCE4
[14:41] <EriC^^> oh
[14:42] <ioria> lionelmessi5102, instead of startx , use sudo service lightdm status and then   sudo service lightdm start
[14:42] <lionelmessi5102> someone told me yesterday you have to assign the default manager to lightdm but he didn't answer after that.
[14:43] <Exagone313> if there is just lightdm, it is the default
[14:43] <lionelmessi5102> Login to desktop isn't the problem, I'm having trouble with making the system boot "automatically" to login manager or desktop
[14:43] <justintv90> Is there any guy using Ubuntu 16.04 daily build
[14:43] <Exagone313> justintv90: #ubuntu+1
[14:43] <Pici> justintv90: the folks in #ubuntu+1 are
[14:43] <EriC^^> lionelmessi5102: tail -v /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/* /etc/lightdm/* | nc termbin.com 9999
[14:44] <justintv90> Exagone313, Pici : Thanks
[14:44] <EriC^^> lionelmessi5102: maybe try to enable the service as you said earlier?
[14:44] <EriC^^> sudo systemctl enable lightdm.service
[14:45] <justintv90> Which do you think better, bcache or root on SSD ?
[14:46] <justintv90> I have an Crucial 128 gb SSD and WD 500 GB HHD, i'm wondering which method is better for my combo
[14:46] <Exagone313> method for?
[14:47] <TheBlackDude> Hi, everyone
[14:47] <Exagone313> I'd put /boot and / on ssd, swap on hdd, and /home OR /mnt on hdd
[14:47] <Exagone313> maybe not thr good solution
[14:47] <justintv90> I mainly use Ubuntu for coding with VIM and using WM with virtualbox
[14:47] <lionelmessi5102> EriC^^: Thank you very much, just what I was looking for
[14:48] <justintv90> I will install only Ubuntu on my machine, no dual-boot
[14:48] <EriC^^> lionelmessi5102: no problem
[14:48] <Exagone313> justintv90: is your question about partitioning or?
[14:49] <lionelmessi5102> when I did a reboot, it goes automatically the lightdm-gtk-greeter, that's what I wanted, thanks bro.
[14:49] <justintv90> Exagone313, do you think put /home on SSD and mount /data and make a symlink to /home
[14:49] <lionelmessi5102> also thank you Exagone313 for your help.
[14:49] <Exagone313> lionelmessi5102: what repaired?
[14:49] <Exagone313> enabling the service?
[14:50] <Exagone313> justintv90: first the swap, don't put on ssd, that's sure. second, depends to your use
[14:51] <Exagone313> hmm you know what? forget what I said, and wait for someone else
[14:51] <daniel3213125> how can I message someone in the chat?
[14:51] <lionelmessi5102> yeah enabling the service made it boot automatically to the login manager.
[14:51] <Exagone313> prefer to avoid symlinks and mount directly how you want
[14:51] <Geese_Howard> daniel3213125: just write the nick and tab
[14:52] <Exagone313> daniel3213125: /query User msg
[14:52] <Geese_Howard> daniel3213125: if you want in private, and the other one allow that, /msg nick message
[14:52] <Exagone313> or /msg
[14:52] <daniel3213125> thanks
[14:52] <daniel3213125> so anyone could resolve this problem? the guy concerned with it just left.
[14:52] <lionelmessi5102> daniel3213125: Right click on the name if you're using Pidgin.
[14:53] <Exagone313> daniel3213125: what problem?
[14:53] <Geese_Howard> daniel3213125: no, only you can solve your problems. people may help you or not
[14:53] <Geese_Howard> Exagone313: 10:35:17   daniel3213125 | hi guys can u help me install ati driver I ran the .run file with sh but theres an error
[14:53] <daniel3213125> thanks man
[14:53] <Geese_Howard> Exagone313: error missing
[14:53] <Exagone313> lol
[14:54] <Exagone313> Hi, I have a problem, can you help me?
[14:54] <daniel3213125> Geese_Howard, I can pastebin it but it begins like "One or more tools required for installation cannot..."
[14:54] <Exagone313> or Hi, is there anyone here?
[14:54] <Geese_Howard> daniel3213125: then you need install that tootls
[14:54] <daniel3213125> but it doesan't specify which.
[14:54] <Geese_Howard> daniel3213125: and try again
[14:55] <Exagone313> Geese_Howard: better not to use proprietary drivers
[14:55] <Geese_Howard> daniel3213125: if you following a "how to" that one don't tell you what to install?
[14:55] <Exagone313> except if you trust your driver
[14:55] <Geese_Howard> Exagone313: better do not use ATI
[14:56] <Exagone313> wrong hl
[14:56] <Exagone313> daniel3213125:
[14:56] <Exagone313> why do you want to install proprietary driver?
[14:56] <Exagone313> this support is about Ubuntu, not proprietary drivers
[14:57] <EriC^^> it's supported here
[14:57] <Exagone313> oh yeah, sorry, ubuntu can install some ^
[14:57] <Geese_Howard> here we go
[14:58] <Geese_Howard> daniel3213125: please, show us where you got information about that "sh"
[14:58] <daniel3213125> EriC^^, the error is "install the required tools b4 installing the fglrx driver. Optimally run the installer with --force option
[14:59] <EriC^^> daniel3213125: why dont you use fglrx-updates (the package in the repos) ?
[15:01] <daniel3213125> EriC^^, Oh! Thank you!
[15:01] <daniel3213125> although I'm a real stupid man so I do not understand.
[15:02] <daniel3213125> In the additional drivers section of software and updates it says "Unknown: Uknown this device is using an alternative driver
[15:02] <daniel3213125> and I have no idea what fglrcx-updates is

[15:02] <EriC^^> paste the link it gives you here
[15:10] <reeed> hi guys i'm trying to diagnose a router that drops the wifi signal randomly. how can i ping both the wired and wifi connections at regular intervals, and log to a file?
[15:11] <ikonia> reeed: if they are on the same network, thats going to be quite hard to manage
[15:11] <ikonia> why would you want to ping two different networks ?
[15:11] <reeed> nono they're the same network
[15:11] <reeed> i connect my laptop to the router with Ethernet, and also on WIFI
[15:11] <ikonia> why do you have 2 interfaces on the same network
[15:11] <ikonia> why ?
[15:12] <ikonia> thats just going to cause a problem
[15:12] <reeed> i'm trying to isolate whether only the Wifi is going down , or the entire router is down
[15:12] <reeed> ok please tell me your suggestions
[15:12] <ikonia> connecting two interfaces to it, is not the way to manage it
[15:12] <reeed> need 2 devices?
[15:12] <ikonia> monitor the router status page
[15:13] <reeed> the signal loss is random...
[15:13] <ikonia> ok ?
[15:14] <reeed> ok how can I diagnose whether the router is bad, or just the wifi is bad?
[15:14] <ikonia> reeed: connect on the wired interface, monitor the router page
[15:14] <reeed> ok
[15:14] <reeed> click refresh
[15:14] <ikonia> that will tell you if the router is a problem as it removes wifi from the discussion
[15:15] <ikonia> you'll see the connection drop or the routes drop on your interface if the router goes down
[15:15] <reeed> ok
[15:16] <reeed> that'sit ?
[15:16] <ikonia> what more do you need ?
[15:17] <reeed> hmmm
[15:17] <reeed> i need to gather enough info to convince the ISP to swap the router
[15:17] <ikonia> so this will be enough
[15:17] <reeed> ok will try
[15:17] <reeed> thx for ur help
[15:17] <ikonia> or - here is an idea, ask the ISP how they want to debug their own equipment
[15:17] <ikonia> this really isn't anything #ubuntu should be picking up
[15:18] <reeed> ah sorry about that
[15:18] <Guy1524> Hey guys, I had this problem a few moths ago and I am having it again.  This one terminal command would always fix it but since then I have reinstalled ubuntu and the command is on my hard drive at home in some back up.  The problem is the dns doesn't work when Im connected to my school network.  My phone can connect fine and I can connect when using IPs, but dns doesn't work.  Ideas?
[15:19] <ikonia> Guy1524: look at what dns servers you're using
[15:19] <Guy1524> I don
[15:19] <Guy1524> sorry accidentally clicked enter
[15:19] <Guy1524> I don't know how to find those out
[15:19] <ikonia> Guy1524: are you connected to the school network directly or over a vpn
[15:20] <huwjr> has anyone got any suggestions for this please - i need one domain name to be basic auth protected, but any others (e.g. sub domains) not to be? I tried Jpsy’s comment on this SF post - which works, but it takes about 1minute per page load lol
[15:20] <huwjr> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23966273/apache-2-4-how-to-require-valid-user-only-for-specific-hosts
[15:20] <Guy1524> Im connected to the school network and am accessing this site through ssh -D
[15:20] <Guy1524> because when I proxy to my home server through ip it works
[15:20] <Guy1524> and plus it unblocks all the blocked sites lol
[15:20] <ikonia> Guy1524: the best thing to do is talk to your schools network team and find out why you are not getting valid dhcp DNS configuration
[15:21] <Guy1524> no, it is not their problem
[15:21] <ikonia> how do you know ?
[15:21] <Guy1524> because the same thing happened a few months ago
[15:21] <ikonia> that doesn't mean it's not there problem
[15:21] <Guy1524> and it was fixed with a command
[15:21] <Guy1524> plus, they are a bunch of morons
[15:21] <Guy1524> so they wouldn't know anyway
[15:21] <ikonia> again, that doesn't mean it's not their problem
[15:21] <ikonia> clearly not
[15:21] <ikonia> you don't know how to fix it - so you do'nt seem any better
[15:22] <ikonia> best not to call people morons when you're asking for info you don't know yourself
[15:22] <Guy1524> Do you want me to send you the email thread I had
[15:22] <ikonia> not really
[15:23] <ouroumov__> Guy1524, you're connected using WiFi or cable? Are you using static addressing or DHCP?
[15:23] <Guy1524> they kept thinking I had a phone and that I should contact me carier even though explicitly told them I was using ubuntu
[15:23] <Guy1524> wifi, however it doesn't work even when connected through cable
[15:23] <Guy1524> DCHP I think checking now
[15:24] <Guy1524> yup
[15:24] <ouroumov__> Guy1524, try and add an additional DNS server, such as the Google servers: 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4
[15:24] <Guy1524> ok
[15:24] <ikonia> don't just point at google
[15:24] <ikonia> first KNOW what dns servers you ARE using
[15:24] <ikonia> there is no promise the network will route to them
[15:25] <heap_> hi i downloaded ubuntu live and installed openssh server... what is the user/pass to log in
[15:25] <heap_> ubuntu/ubuntu doesnt work ;/
[15:25] <EriC^^> heap_: whatever user you created during the install
[15:25] <Guy1524> there are no DNS servers in the menu
[15:25] <heap_> EriC^^: i booted live
[15:25] <reeed> Guy1524 cat /etc/resolv.conf
[15:25] <heap_> EriC^^: i didnt create anything :)
[15:25] <ikonia> Guy1524: in what menu
[15:25] <ikonia> rsolv.conf will show 127.0.0.1
[15:25] <EriC^^> heap_: oh
[15:25] <Guy1524> ok
[15:25] <ikonia> as ubuntu uses dnsmasq
[15:26] <heap_> EriC^^: ;
[15:26] <heap_> /;/
[15:26] <EriC^^> heap_: try ubuntu/blank pass
[15:26] <heap_> doesnt work via ssh
[15:26] <Guy1524> here is my resolv.conf
[15:26] <Guy1524> http://paste.ubuntu.com/15793562/
[15:26] <reeed> hmmmm my ubuntu resolv.conf gives nameserver 10.0.0.252 which is my gateway
[15:26] <ikonia> Guy1524: what version of ubuntu is tihs
[15:27] <Guy1524> 15.10
[15:27] <heap_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RemoteConnectionUbuntuLiveCD
[15:27] <heap_> fixed
[15:27] <ikonia> I'd certainly expect that to be using dnsmasq
[15:27] <ikonia> Guy1524: is that 192 address an IP on your school network, or on the schools
[15:28] <Guy1524> im not sure
[15:28] <ikonia> what is your current IP address
[15:28] <Guy1524> 10.212.231.213
[15:28] <nauticalnexus> hi, I have Ubuntu Studio 15.10 and my bluetooth is not recognised. Not sure what else to add
[15:28] <ikonia> Guy1524: wo there is your problem
[15:28] <ikonia> Guy1524: your dns server is not on the same network as your on
[15:28] <ikonia> so you can't reach it
[15:28] <ikonia> Guy1524: so - you need to ask the school why you are not getting offered a dhcp DNS address
[15:29] <Guy1524> It was working until yesterday
[15:29] <Guy1524> thats weird
[15:29] <ikonia> not really
[15:30] <Guy1524> is there a way to manually fix it?
[15:30] <ikonia> set it to the dns servers on your schools network
[15:31] <ikonia> re-run the dhcp client request to see if you get a dns server address this time
[15:31] <ikonia> the best approach is to talk to your school network team,
[15:31] <Guy1524> http://pastebin.com/s1L7RqAU
[15:31] <Guy1524> thats how it went last time
[15:32] <ikonia> ok - so explain you're using a laptop running a linux distribution
[15:32] <ikonia> take control over your own issue, rather than mocking someone who doesn't know
[15:32] <ikonia> if you explain the guy sitting next to him may know ,and he may know to ask him
[15:32] <Guy1524> I said ubuntu 15.10
[15:32] <Guy1524> I guess I didn't specify I am using a laptop
[15:32] <ikonia> right - he may not know what that is
[15:33] <ikonia> google ubuntu some of the hits are phone and android related
[15:33] <Guy1524> oh, a network manager not knowing what ubuntu is
[15:33] <Guy1524> case in point
[15:33] <ikonia> not at all
[15:34] <reeed> wait -- are you allowed to connect to the internet thru the school network ?
[15:34] <reeed> is that legit ?
[15:36] <uruk7> hello, i have a bluedisk , nautilus not show this drive ?
[15:37] <Pici> uruk7: whats a bluedisk?
[15:37] <alyyy> weird question, I need to upgrade from 12 -> 16 (when it comes out).  besides systemd, is there anything I should be aware of?
[15:37] <k1l_> alyyy: gnome2 desktop doesnt exist anymore
[15:37] <Mement> Yesterday I had to prepare a computer, that had Windows, at work. Started the Ubuntu USB and wanted to have it installed beside Windows, a dual boot. But I couldn't find the option.
[15:37] <rory> I don't think you can go straight from 12 -> 16
[15:37] <Pici> alyyy: php7
[15:38] <k1l_> alyyy: and you need to upgrade to 14.04 first. then you can upgrade to 16.04.1 in july
[15:38] <Emersont1> hi. is anyone here familiar with the Ubuntu font liscence?
[15:38] <Pici> alyyy: WIP release notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes
[15:38] <uruk7> Pici sorry ->blueraydisk drive
[15:39] <alyyy> more info: this is for a product I'm working on.  we use server edition only.  we're just going to put our software on a clean 16 install instead of upgrading.
[15:39] <k1l_> Mement: that happens when windows already uses all 4 primary partiions. most times its stuff from recovery and the manufacturer etc
[15:39] <Emersont1> ooh 16.0.4, i think i'll get that
[15:39] <Mement> k1l_: Ah, that explains why I could not make any partitions manually.
[15:39] <Mement> I was going to install Ubuntu also on my home desktop. Will I see the option to install automatically beside Windows if it is able?
[15:40] <k1l_> Mement: th installer will offer that option if the that will technically work, yes.
[15:41] <Mement> Great, hopefully the option is there when I get home. Thanks.
[15:43] <Pici> uruk7: are you trying to play a movie, or is this just data?
[15:50] <qiangong2> Hello?
[15:50] <alyyy> hello!
[15:51] <bellfive> sss
[15:51] <qiangong2> I have a problem when i compile ubuntu touch from source for my Samsung Galaxy Star Pro. i get a 'vendor/cm/config/telephony.mk' not found error
[15:51] <qiangong2> Do you know how to fix it?
[15:53] <alyyy> qiangong2 not sure.  have you checked askubunutu.com at all?
[15:53] <qiangong2> I'll try, thanks. I came here because no one is online on #ubuntu-touch
[15:54] <emersont1> hi
[15:55] <Optiprism> ubuntu per default uses something called "unity" which is like a desktop theme right?
[15:55] <Optiprism> And the other ones are called kde and gnome?
[15:55] <emersont1> Optiprism, yeah
[15:55] <emersont1> Desktop environment though
[15:55] <emersont1> which can in turn have skind
[15:56] <Optiprism> right
[15:56] <trevor_s> does the native right click 'compress' and choose .7z encrypt to aes-256 by default?
[15:57] <trevor_s> i cant seem to check the encryption method with 7z l -slt after i create a .7z file that way
[15:58] <k1l_> Optiprism: its more than only a theme. its a whole desktop setup. but unity shares the same base as gnome and share programs like nautilus. kde and others got their own programs
[15:58] <Rave1> Optiprism, https://www.maketecheasier.com/difference-between-windows-managers-desktop-environments/
[15:59] <emersont1> Hi, i seem to be having an issue with my Ubuntu 15.10 install, when i boot to ubuntu throught the default GRUB I get a fsck message and it freezes. However, when I go into Advanced options for Ubuntu > Recovery mode then resume i can boot fine, but get an Ubuntu encountyered an internal issue or similar, what do i need to do to fix this?
[15:59] <poliglotta> ciao
[15:59] <lotuspsychje> !it | poliglotta
[16:00] <lotuspsychje> emersont1: what does the internal issue say? details of the error?
[16:01] <emersont1> i'll need to reboot, but i think it said Xorg
[16:01] <Optiprism> So what's exactly the difference between the desktop enviroments besides a default look? I'd assume you could customize every enviroment to look and feel like the other?
[16:01] <lotuspsychje> emersont1: graphics card chipset and driver loaded please?
[16:02] <Praxis_of_Evil> Hey, I think I killed X but I can't find the problem. I had an issue with a missing theme so I uninstalled nvidia and bumblebee, then reinstalled nvidia-current. Now everytime I try to log in as user it seems X is crashing. I can log in as guest and I can log in on virtual console, but not as user. Have ls -al Iceauthority and Xauthority but both are still mapped to me so that doesn't appear to be the problem. Any sugg
[16:02] <lotuspsychje> Praxis_of_Evil: bumblebee is outdated, use nvidia-prime instead
[16:02] <emersont1> Amd R9 390 and fglrx-updates
[16:03] <lotuspsychje> emersont1: does it work on radeon driver?
[16:03] <emersont1> fglrx?
[16:04] <emersont1> or xserver-xorg-video-ati
[16:04] <lotuspsychje> emersont1: yep the ati one
[16:04] <emersont1> why is it saying it's an R9 290, i have a 390?
[16:04] <Praxis_of_Evil> Let me rephrase, I put that badly. I can log in a <user> in virtual console, and I can login as guest as normal and X will load, but if I try to log in as <user> as normal, then X seems to crash and I'm returned to the login screen rpeatedly.
[16:05] <lotuspsychje> emersont1: checkout sudo lshw -C video to make sure
[16:05] <lotuspsychje> Praxis_of_Evil: ubuntu version? graphics card chipset and driver loaded please?
[16:06] <lotuspsychje> emersont1: i would also suggest a 16.04 test on your card
[16:06] <k1l_> Praxis_of_Evil: login as user on tty1. then make "ls -al" and see what is owned by root:root
[16:06] <Praxis_of_Evil> If I       ls - al .Iceauthority    or ls -al .Xauthority both are still owned by root:root
[16:06] <emersont1> but can I run GL 3.3+ on the open source X.org driver?
[16:07] <pa> it's great that it's possible to move the launcher to the bottom now!
[16:07] <pa> is it also possible to remove the trash bin icon?
[16:07] <k1l_> Praxis_of_Evil: just chown them to user:user (replacing your username as user)
[16:07] <lotuspsychje> pa: #ubuntu+1 for 16.04 please
[16:08] <jess_> yeehaa
[16:08] <k1l_> Praxis_of_Evil: and dont use startx. press ctrl+alt+f7 to get back to X
[16:09] <Emersont2> Right. I'm getting this on defualt boot
[16:11] <Emersont2> Fsck from util-linux 2.26.2\n /dev/sda6: clean, 378861/14671872 files, 3884642/58667008 blocks
[16:11] <Emersont2> What exactly does this mean? How do I fix it?
[16:12] <jess_> is it dual boot?
[16:12] <jess_> sda6?
[16:12] <Praxis_of_Evil> That hasn't done it
[16:12] <Emersont2> jess_ yep
[16:12] <Emersont2> Windows is sda1-4 iirc
[16:12] <k1l_> Praxis_of_Evil: does "ls -al" now list still stuff as root:root?
[16:13] <Praxis_of_Evil> no, user:user
[16:13] <k1l_> Praxis_of_Evil: ok, but the guest account works?
[16:13] <Praxis_of_Evil> X won't load as guest either now
[16:14] <Emersont2> jess_ what have I completely f*ed up
[16:14] <k1l_> so that is an driver issue?
[16:14] <jess_> tell us what u did
[16:14] <jess_> updatinf 16.04
[16:15] <Emersont2> I booted via grub to Ubuntu 15.10, not in safe mode
[16:15] <Emersont2> Recovery*
[16:15] <Praxis_of_Evil> Yes, more than likely. I uninstalled previous nvidia drivers along with bumblebee, then reinstalled nvidia-current...so that is what has done it, but I don't know how to fix it, I already reinstalled the nvidia drivers in console but no fix
[16:16] <lotuspsychje> Praxis_of_Evil: bumblebee and nvidia-current are outdated
[16:17] <Praxis_of_Evil> I know, that's why I uninstalled them
[16:17] <Praxis_of_Evil> sorry...I installed nvidia-prime ^^
[16:18] <lotuspsychje> Praxis_of_Evil: ok and wich nvidia driver version do you have? card chipset?
[16:18] <ioria> Praxis_of_Evil,  check /etc/X11/xorg.conf .  if there's one, backup it
[16:19] <blueblob11> does anyone have experience pxe booting an IBM PPC for an install?
[16:19] <jess_> software boutique
[16:20] <lee_G750jm> anyone still use conky
[16:20] <lee_G750jm> anyone
[16:20] <somsip> lee_G750jm: just ask your real question
[16:21] <blueblob11> What kernel arguments do you have to give to run a netinstall from a serial console on a machine that does not have a video card?
[16:22] <Emersont2> Right. If my fsck comes back clean, why does it just stay on that console window with no sign of leaving
[16:23] <Praxis_of_Evil> Ok, nividia-smi has failed because it couldn't communicate with the driver, so there's a clue
[16:24] <Praxis_of_Evil> And I'm running a GTX 980
[16:25] <lotuspsychje> Praxis_of_Evil: did you try higher kernel on that card?
[16:26] <Praxis_of_Evil> No
[16:27] <lotuspsychje> Praxis_of_Evil: current ubuntu version?
[16:27] <Praxis_of_Evil> trusty
[16:27] <lotuspsychje> Praxis_of_Evil: you could try a 16.04 daily, or wait the final release april 21
[16:28] <Bashing-om> Praxis_of_Evil: 2 thoughts: Nvidia recommends the 361 version driver, http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/101423/en-us .. and what does the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file relate ?
[16:28] <Praxis_of_Evil> I've been waiting for the final release before changing 14.04...but if I can't revive X then I might have to update in the interim :)
[16:29] <Praxis_of_Evil> Bashing-om: thanks
[16:29] <Mement> Well this was disappointing. Got home and try to install Ubuntu (15.10, usb) on desktop beside Windows 10. Halve the text is invisible during install and it gave me warning about EFI mode.
[16:29] <Praxis_of_Evil> 1 min
[16:30] <Bashing-om> Praxis_of_Evil: IF you are to attempt to install the 361 driver, in 14.04 that will be a PPA .
[16:31] <U83R> hello
[16:31] <Praxis_of_Evil> Bashing-om: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15795402/
[16:31] <Bashing-om> Praxis_of_Evil: Look'n .
[16:32] <U83R> can some please PM me and also reply me so gibberish. want to test Polari client with notifications
[16:33] <U83R> again :D
[16:34] <Bashing-om> Praxis_of_Evil: " 188.860] (EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module. " Well .. need to clean up, get rid of that OLD 304 driver and install a current driver for that new card .
[16:34] <Praxis_of_Evil> working on it now, thanks
[16:35] <vacho> gents..
[16:35] <vacho> does this mean I have spam/malware that keeps sending spam email? http://pastebin.com/wDi1ek0w
[16:35] <vacho> my log is just filled out
[16:35] <Bashing-om> Praxis_of_Evil: Hybrid graphics at play here .. make sure BumbleBee is removed, it is now recommended to use nvidia-prime to control the graphics .
[16:36] <ratrace> vacho: nah, that's just bots trying to brute force your sasl. dispatch them with fail2ban or something.
[16:36] <ratrace> vacho: unless that IP is yours?
[16:36] <Praxis_of_Evil> Yeah, I removed bumblebee, that's what got me here :) I removed nvidia and bumblebee but didn't install the correct driver to replace
[16:36] <vacho> ratrace: ok..so no signs of malware and spam as you can see?
[16:37] <SchrodingersScat> vacho: all I see is failed attempts, which would be good, afaik
[16:37] <ratrace> vacho: is that IP address yours? The 212.22 ... ?
[16:37] <vacho> ratrace: my IP only appears once, and it's actually a legitimate email lol
[16:38] <Bashing-om> Praxis_of_Evil: Also as ioria advised . replace the xorg.conf file .
[16:38] <ratrace> vacho: didn't answer my question
[16:38] <ratrace> vacho: oh wait, there's more down to scroll... my bad.
[16:39] <Daenu> got a question about installing blackfire
[16:39] <ratrace> vacho: so anyway, the SASL login auth failure is just that, sasl bruteforce attempts. fix that with fail2ban
[16:39] <Daenu> hi all

[16:40] <BluesKaj> sasl requires an account on irc
[16:40] <vacho> ratrace: how about this log? I have 2 web servers...I believe this one def has some spam running: http://pastebin.com/HgeMKg45
[16:47] <Praxis_of_Evil> Bashing-om: all fixed, thanks for your help. Dont think I could have handled a reinstall today!
[16:49] <snizzo> guys... unity crashes very often with intel driver, sending me back to login screen...
[16:52] <vacho> ratrace: still here?
[16:52] <vacho> can someone please look at this mail.log ( http://pastebin.com/HgeMKg45 ) ... It's clear that I have some malware running right?
[16:52] <lotuspsychje> snizzo: ubuntu version? hybrid graphics?
[16:52] <ratrace> vacho: yeah, sorry. nope, those are local deliveries
[16:53] <ratrace> vacho: but yeah probably spam...ming yourself :)
[16:53] <snizzo> lotuspsychje: 15.10 yes, nvidia prime with only IGD selected
[16:53] <vacho> ratrace: nope to what?
[16:53] <snizzo> i guess it's this one? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1510970
[16:53] <vacho> ratrace: and what is ming? :) sorry
[16:54] <samgoody> Hi. I want to split a text file on a delimiter. and increment the file names (ie. make 1.txt, 2.txt)
[16:54] <ratrace> vacho: heh... sorry. I mean, nope, you're not sending out spam (relay=local), and you're probably spamming yourself, if that's spam
[16:54] <samgoody> I have been trying to understand how to dio this with awk, but am mostly saying gack
[16:54] <ratrace> vacho: is that your hostname? blah blah linode?
[16:54] <vacho> ratrace: yes
[16:55] <ratrace> vacho: okay so there's some mailing going on, check the mail for luxurypetals. Is that a valid username on your box?
[16:55] <Bashing-om> Praxis_of_Evil: (RE-)installs are for woosies :)
[16:55] <nacc> samgoody: do you know how many delimiters/columns are present ahead of time?
[16:56] <samgoody> no
[16:56] <ratrace> vacho: it looks like once a minute mail to itself... could be some cron job erroring out?
[16:56] <vacho> ratrace: not running any crons..
[16:56] <ouroumov_> Question: I have put two fstrim commands in my /etc/rc.local file (SSD optimization I read somewhere about) and I suspect those commands are holding up shutdown when I've copied a lot of files on my SSD during one session. Am I correct in assuming this script is run on shutdown?
[16:57] <vacho> ratrace: specially not on the luxurypetals.com domain :)
[16:57] <ratrace> vacho: well, user luxurypetals (uid=1004) is using sendmail to send mail to itself
[16:57] <ratrace> every minute
[16:57] <vacho> ratrace: why on earth...
[16:57] <teward> vacho: is luxurypetals.com running PHP or anything?
[16:57] <vacho> teward: PHP + Wordpress
[16:57] <ratrace> vacho: check the mail, luxurypetal's mailbox must be bursting with mail :)
[16:58] <teward> ratrace: I would check the mailbox as ratrace says, but also consider that if it's not cron, it's something in Wordpress possibly generating it
[16:58] <teward> potentially malicious code perhaps
[16:58] <nacc> samgoody: you could probably do somethign trivial in bash with a loop and `cut`
[16:58] <ratrace> teward: sending mail to itself? that's probably some error report or something. I bet there's a cronjob.
[16:58] <lotuspsychje> !trim | ouroumov_
[16:59] <ratrace> vacho: anything in `crontab -u luxurypetals -e` ?
[16:59] <teward> ratrace: there shouldn't be unless it was added
[16:59] <vacho> ratrace: checking..
[16:59] <vacho> ratrace: be back in 1h..meeting.
[16:59] <vacho> ratrace: thanks for all the info!
[16:59] <teward> ratrace: though php emailing itself isn't unheard of if they've breached the server
[16:59] <ratrace> teward: look at the log. right at the top of every minute. that's a cronjob or persistent process timing like that.
[17:00] <teward> ratrace: relink?  (half cut off due to hexchat derp)
[17:00] <ratrace> could also be triggered by requests from outside, so try correlate with the webserve acess log
[17:00] <ratrace> teward: http://pastebin.com/HgeMKg45
[17:00] <ouroumov_> lotuspsychje, thanks, so I guess adding those commands is useless then? I'm really interested in diagnosing the source of that hold up on shutdown. It can really take a long time and my guess for now is that it's because of the trim.
[17:00] <teward> ratrace: if it were a cronjob it'd be triggered by 'cron'
[17:00] <teward> and that'd show in the syslog as cron:
[17:00] <teward> not just maillog
[17:00] <ratrace> true
[17:00] <teward> (that's the other place to check)
[17:00] <ratrace> if cron is logging
[17:00] <lotuspsychje> ouroumov_: wich ubuntu version are you on?
[17:01] <teward> ratrace: not unheard of though for the system to mail itself when commands complete - if they don't know what's causing it I'd still point at 'suspicious circs' and tell them to check their Wordpress for odd things
[17:01] <lotuspsychje> ouroumov_: to see your shutdown bottlenecks, press F1 to text shutdown to see whats delaying
[17:01] <ouroumov_> lotuspsychje, I've experienced this on 16.04 Beta 2 :x - I didn't think this could be version specific.
[17:01] <ratrace> teward: yea, if there's Wordpress involved... chances are it's a rat.
[17:02] <teward> mhm
[17:02] <ouroumov_> lotuspsychje, alright, I'll try this next time.
[17:02] <lotuspsychje> ouroumov_: 14.04 and higher have auto-trim
[17:02] <lotuspsychje> ouroumov_: also test a sudo halt -p if it goes faster
[17:02] <ouroumov_> lotuspsychje: thanks, will do.
[17:03] <hai_bar> hello - is anyone familiar with flashing bios from ubuntu live-cd? It's the only bootable image I got to work on my other laptop under the current circumstances
[17:04] <dontknow> hai_bar, in what form bios file do you have?
[17:04] <ouroumov_> lotuspsychje, but the problem is transient - I've experienced it after massive I/O took place so that was the reason for my guess. Is the sudo halt -p somehow more "violent" than a GUI-initiated shutdown?
[17:04] <hai_bar> .exe & .bat - the only forms available from the manufacturers site
[17:04] <hai_bar> it's an acer laptop with insyde bios chip
[17:04] <lotuspsychje> ouroumov_: yep, just as a test, F1 will show you how it normally does
[17:05] <dontknow> hai_bar, i don't think you can flash bios with gnu/linux
[17:05] <ouroumov_> lotuspsychje, okay. Thanks a lot.
[17:06] <hai_bar> dontknow, what about dosbox (dos emulator), do you have an idea whether or not it can be useful?
[17:06] <hai_bar> well I cannot boot from HDD (i have a HDD with Win10 & another with win7) - laptop does not read any HDD or CD/DVD or anything for that matter, only ubuntu 14.04 works for that matter
[17:07] <hai_bar> no  idea why though ...
[17:07] <KlausedSource_> hey, I have a 14.04.4 lts ubuntu. I recently bought an external usb hdd for backup. Since my pc is behind other furniture it is hard to reach and so I decided to keep the external hdd plugged in (it is also pretty big in physical size). My problem is that it runs (as in hdd is spinning and making lots of noise) all night/day. Is there a way to go in "standby" or something similiar when the hdd is inactive (it is not
[17:07] <KlausedSource_> used for anything else than backup)
[17:07] <dontknow> hai_bar, i have no idea
[17:08] <anonymous> youtube
[17:08] <ikonia> KlausedSource_: look at hdparm
[17:08] <KlausedSource_> like in windows you have the power option to "shut down the hdd" if it is inactive for 20 min or whatever time you give
[17:08] <ouroumov_> KlausedSource, it should do that automatically, unless you have a program running that regularly access the drive.
[17:09] <hai_bar> What about BIOS Password removal tool using ubuntu live CD? I can solve the whole problem if I go inside BIOS which is password-protected, the previous owner of  the laptop ( cannot reach anymore ) used a BIOS password that im unaware of \ ..
[17:10] <KlausedSource_> ouroumov_, no I don't. can I give you any output of a command or file so you can verify?
[17:10] <ikonia> hai_bar: ubuntu is not going to do that
[17:11] <hai_bar> mhmm any idea what might do that? Hiren BootCD  & System Rescue CD do not work under the current cirumstances (messed up BIOS settings)
[17:11] <ouroumov_> KlausedSource, I've no idea what command that would be, but first try and follow ikonia's advice. I answered you based on my experience, but there is a lot I don't know about drives so give it a shot.
[17:11] <ikonia> hai_bar: it's not an ubuntu issue
[17:11] <dontknow> hai_bar, so bios has password and you want it to upgrade?
[17:11] <ikonia> hai_bar: not something this channel will deal with
[17:12] <dontknow> hai_bar, after upgrade it will have password again
[17:12] <hai_bar> ikonia: thank you - i know it's a weird topic for this channel but as i mentioned, ubuntu live USB is the only thing that can be accssed from the ILL laptop
[17:12] <ouroumov_> KlausedSource, there's and interactive command (so you can't paste any output) named "iotop" that you can use to visualize disk I/O.
[17:12] <ikonia> hai_bar: sadly, ubuntu is not going to help on this
[17:13] <hai_bar> dontknow: I know - but i am actually trying to downgrade bios to the previous version where it worked fine (detected HDDs and other mount-points)
[17:13] <k1l_> hai_bar: its not about ubuntu supports it. its about what the mainboard maker supports. and that is dos or windows in most times. some offer an own booting iso.
[17:13] <dontknow> hai_bar, downgrading bios is something else. it requires a lot work than upgrade
[17:15] <hai_bar> aha ... thank you for the time guys
[17:15] <AlmightyOatmeal> is it possible to have a systemd service script execute an ExecStartPost command that involves pipes and redirects?
[17:15] <dontknow> hai_bar, if it has bios password how do you boot into ubuntu?
[17:16] <guest-p9eUnD> No
[17:16] <hai_bar> by inserting a USB drive with ubuntu 14.04 image on it - the laptop has an option that allows the user to select boot-target
[17:17] <guest-p9eUnD> Car il a quel
[17:17] <hai_bar> in tihs case the flash drive with the ubuntu live cd image on is the only one detected - hence automaticly selected and bootedi nto
[17:17] <hai_bar> into*
[17:17] <dontknow> hai_bar, ok
[17:17] <guest-p9eUnD> _
[17:18] <guest-p9eUnD> PAR encore ;oins illigible
[17:18] <dontknow> what?
[17:21] <ouroumov_> hai_bar, bios password removal usually requires accessing the hardware and either removing a jumper on the motherboard or the BIOS battery. I've never sucseeded in not-breaking a laptop while doing this kind of procedure.
[17:22] <ouroumov_> succeeded *
[17:22] <terabit> some laptops require SPI flash replacement (basically buy a new motherboard)
[17:24] <hai_bar> ouroumov_ & terabit - i have removed the BIOS battery and left it out once for > 1 hour and once for few mins but it didn't help - as forthe cmos jumpers I could not locate them on this laptop
[17:24] <Daenu> any ideas why blackfire is slow?
[17:25] <terabit> you should ask in ##Hardware , people who know this stuff will answer
[17:25] <terabit> hai_bar: ^
[17:25] <hai_bar> yupp im waiting for someone to answer in that channel, terabit
[17:25] <hai_bar> terabit, thanks though
[17:25] <atomic_> hey, when I try to boot with the new 3.13.0-85-generic kernel, my laptop display is blank (external monitor still works). I have to select 3.13.0-83-generic from grub to see anything. could this be a bug? any pointers as to how I should look into this? Kubuntu 14.04
[17:26] <Mement> Apparently I have a BIOS installed Windows 10. When I try to install Ubuntu, I get a firmware warning about UEFI etc. What do I need to do?
[17:27] <cssanpablo> 123456
[17:27] <bluethundr> hey guys.. I'm trying to set a static IP on an ubuntu 14.4 machine..
[17:27] <bluethundr> when I edit /etc/network/interfaces it gets overwritten with a DHCP configuration
[17:28] <bluethundr> that says generated with set_dynamic_ip script
[17:29] <bluethundr> how do I set a static ip address instead of DHCP here?
[17:29] <scottder> Sorry I got dropped before. 14.04 is on Smaba 4.1 which is no longer supported by the samba team. What are the plans for dealing with Badlock?
[17:29] <scottder> Is that kind of thing usually backported?
[17:30] <genii> Yes
[17:30] <k1l_> scottder: yes its backported
[17:30] <Pici> scottder: The official patches were just released a few minutes ago.  The security team should be beginning their work shortly.
[17:30] <k1l_> scottder: like every other package in the repos. the security team backports the patches when they are published
[17:30] <scottder> Pici thanks
[17:31] <atomic_> bluethundr: have you disabled Network Manager?
[17:31] <bluethundr> atomic_: Network Manager is not installed
[17:32] <guest-p9eUnD_> baconfork
[17:37] <orfeo1> Hello guys!
[17:37] <ouroumov_> Pici, k1l_: I'm curious, the security teams are not notified in advance secretly so they can work on the patches before the vulnerabilities are made public in such cases?
[17:37] <KlausedSource_> ikonia, ouroumov_ thanks guys. finally found what I was looking for (it was pretty easy actually, I'm obv blind it seems)
[17:37] <KlausedSource_> sudo hdparm -S 1 --verbose /dev/sdb
[17:37] <KlausedSource_> sets the timeout to 5 seconds of inactivity then it will go to standby
[17:37] <k1l_> ouroumov_: depends on the project that got that security issue. some it that way.
[17:38] <orfeo1> I am on need of installing OpenVPN at my VPS, could someone point me to a place where I can learn how to do it please?
[17:38] <KlausedSource_> orfeo1, the official documentation of openvpn is quite good actually
[17:38] <ouroumov_> KlausedSource, cool, thanks for updating us. I'm sure your solution will come in handy in the future.
[17:39] <orfeo> KlausedSource_: yes? cool, let me check it.
[17:39] <orfeo> KlausedSource_: is it at : https://openvpn.net/ ?
[17:40] <KlausedSource_> orfeo, you want to use your vps as server right?
[17:40] <carolus> Hello
[17:40] <KlausedSource_> or the other way around? from vps to your router?
[17:41] <bublic> how do i change the color of the console name?  jojou@jopc: to be in some other color, like green?
[17:41] <orfeo> KlausedSource_: not sure, I need tunneling my network. Is that it?
[17:41] <KlausedSource_> orfeo, well do you want to tunnel "your" traffic as in the traffic sent from your pc to the rest of the world through your vps?
[17:41] <KlausedSource_> but I guess that's what you want
[17:42] <KlausedSource_> anyways this should get you started https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/miscellaneous/78-static-key-mini-howto.html
[17:42] <bublic> how do i change the color of the console name in terminal?  jojou@jopc: to be in some other color, like green?
[17:42] <orfeo> KlausedSource_: I want to tunnel traffic from a VPS I got at cloud to my home office.
[17:43] <k1l_> bublic: is it colored already?
[17:43] <bublic> k1l_, no
[17:44] <k1l_> bublic: then enable it in the .bashrc
[17:44] <YokoBR> hi guys
[17:44] <YokoBR> how can i use my hdmi port only? i'm getting no signal at my monitor
[17:44] <KlausedSource_> orfeo, is it only one machine in your home office you want to access?
[17:44] <KlausedSource_> or the whole network
[17:45] <YokoBR> like a boot flag on grub
[17:45] <orfeo> KlausedSource_: only one, but actually it is the other way around, I want certain information from my VPS to be tunneled to my home.
[17:45] <sleety> hello
[17:46] <KlausedSource_> so you need a point to point connection
[17:46] <KlausedSource_> orfeo, the link I sent above is sufficient for that
[17:47] <KlausedSource_> but it really is just a very small example for improved security and advanced options you should check out the rest of the documentation
[17:47] <orfeo> KlausedSource_: alright then, I will check it right now. Thank you a lot for now!
[17:50] <KlausedSource_> orfeo, one more thing...your vps kernel needs to support TUN/TAP (vpn virtual network interface)
[17:50] <KlausedSource_> some vps providers don't include this in their kernels
[17:52] <KlausedSource_> orfeo, you can see if it is present when you look for /dev/net/tun
[17:52] <Deele> hello
[17:53] <Deele> Is there a way to disable 3 and 4 finger gestures for touchscreen on Ubuntu 14 Unity desktop?
[17:57] <developer> how to hack wpa2
[17:57] <k1l_> developer: not appropriate in this channel
[17:57] <baizon> developer: its very simple, just open {LINK REMOVED} and hack
[17:58] <KlausedSource_> developer, just go develop a way
[17:58] <DummyWitty> quit
[17:58] <KlausedSource_> but as baizon mentioned {LINK REMOVED} is a good source to start
[17:58] <developer> amgötmeme
[17:59] <Deele> Is there a way to setup xubuntu for one specific user only?
[17:59] <developer> bi bok anlamadım ama saolun
[17:59] <zanshin> Deele: http://askubuntu.com/questions/57586/how-can-i-disable-arbitrary-default-multitouch-gestures-in-unity
[17:59] <developer> burada ne tartışıyoz amk
[18:00] <Deele> zanshin, that is like reprogramming unity and recompiling, right?
[18:00] <zanshin> Deele: I dunno. It was the first result when I Googled for "Is there a way to disable 3 and 4 finger gestures for touchscreen on Ubuntu 14 Unity desktop?"
[18:01] <Deele> zanshin, yeah, I googled for a while already, now I'm here...
[18:04] <TimeTravel_1> Hello/ HOla
[18:04] <TimeTravel_1> #Xubuntu
[18:08] <vfw> Deele: You want to set xubuntu up for one specific user only?
[18:09] <vfw> Deele: What exactly do you mean by that?
[18:09] <pilne> so one login and no guest account?
[18:09] <pilne> or is it an already established ubuntu, and you want one user to have xfce?
[18:09] <vfw> Deele: Oh, you want to get rid of the Guest account?
[18:10] <Deele> vfw, no, I want to get rid of Unity touchscreen gestures for kiosk account
[18:10] <pilne> i'm so lost, i'm just gonna wander off again
[18:11] <Deele> vfw, now I'm thinking to remove unity altogether and set up xubuntu
[18:11] <vfw> kiosk ?
[18:11] <vfw> I thought you said you already had xubuntu....
[18:11] <Deele> no, I have Unity that is installed by default with Ubuntu 14
[18:12] <vfw> Deele: If you want xubuntu, install xubuntu-desktop
[18:12] <Deele> yeah, I already did  that, moving onto removing ubuntu-desktop
[18:12] <hrob> hi
[18:12] <MonkeyDust> Deele  install xubuntu-desktop, logout, switch, login
[18:12] <hrob> can anyone suggest a lightweight webbrowser on ubuntu?
[18:12] <vfw> Deele: Ok, you can do that.
[18:12] <Deele> MonkeyDust, when switching, does it remember?
[18:13] <hrob> Im on a rather weak laptop right now
[18:13] <MonkeyDust> Deele  yes
[18:13] <vfw> Deele: Is that all you need ?
[18:13] <Deele> vfw, yeah, I guess :)
[18:13] <vfw> Deele: Ok. Yea, I don't blame you, I like xfce too.
[18:13] <Deele> hrob, lynx :)
[18:13] <Deele> hrob, https://wiki.debian.org/WebBrowsers
[18:13] <hrob> Deele,  ehm, thats too stripped down
[18:13] <l0ll1p0p> hrob: qupzilla and midori. If want to have extra light then text based browser like lynx, w3m or elinks
[18:13] <vfw> Deele: (to me, it is easier and simplier)
[18:14] <hrob> Deele, how is css3 support in lynx?
[18:14] <hrob> lououlou
[18:14] <hrob> l0ll1p0p,  right, midori is quite a great suggestion, I forgot about that one
[18:14] <Deele> vfw, that is just for single fullscreen firefox browser, so I don't really need any desktop at all, just to make sure, all software drivers are working correctly
[18:15] <hrob> Deele, that sounds interesting, I like to have my terminals spread out on my screen
[18:15] <hrob> so maybe not that one
[18:17] <haskel> My hard drive is full: /dev/xvda1      118G  114G  8.0K 100% /
[18:17] <haskel> but when I try 'sudo du -sh */'
[18:17] <haskel> I only see small files and folders, something is not adding up
[18:18] <llamatarianism> can anyone help me? I think my account is corrupt or something
[18:18] <k1l_> haskel: i like "ncdu"
[18:18] <ratrace> haskel: ran out of inodes?
[18:18] <hrob> haskel,   sudo du / should do
[18:18] <llamatarianism> guest sessions work just fine, but when I try to login to my actual account it effs up
[18:18] <guntbert> haskel: you want     sudo du -sh /    (not */)
[18:18] <hrob> sorry with -sh
[18:18] <k1l_> haskel: and i dont know what the * should do in front of /
[18:19] <hrob> k1l_, haskel   the shell will catch the *  and try to resolve it to your local directories
[18:19] <haskel> I am out of space and cannout install ncdu XD
[18:19] <hrob> expand the glob I guess it is called
[18:20] <llamatarianism> please send help fast, windows 10 is already asking me for java updates
[18:20] <llamatarianism> I don't feel safe :P
[18:21] <haskel> I hrob sudo du / enumerates all subdirectories, there are like a million results now
[18:26] <dcz> hi guys, when i open a youtube video, ,my computer gets very hot. I have ubuntu 14.04.  and i install nvidia-prime and nvidia 361 driver. I use intel card primarly and i have Nvidia Gtx 860m. Also when i create a xorg.conf with nvidia-xconfig, after reboot i get black screen.
[18:26] <nauticalnexus> How come when I type "acpi -b" into the terminal, it says my battery's at 99%, but the top right battery icon says 92%?
[18:26] <haskel> hrob, guntbert, k1l_ it only works with the * in front: http://imgur.com/vijMXMt
[18:26] <MonkeyDust> dcz  install thermald and indicator-cpufreq
[18:26] <pilne> it could be that it is older, and only can hole 92% of the reported maximum, and is charged to 99% of that
[18:26] <dcz> i have them also
[18:26] <dcz> i have TLP also
[18:26] <haskel> hrob, guntbert, k1l_ also you guys can see in the screenshot df -h says my hard disk is full, but when I try to break down by folders there is nothing large
[18:27] <haskel> hrob, guntbert, k1l_ something is not right
[18:27] <k1l_> haskel: is this a vserver?
[18:28] <haskel> k1l_, indeed it is, AWS, how did you know?
[18:29] <haskel> k1l_, something seems suspicious about the proc folder
[18:29] <k1l_> haskel: that sounds like an host issue.
[18:29] <haskel> k1l_, it says zero but when I go into the proc folder there is a lot of stuff
[18:29] <haskel> k1l_, what should I do?
[18:29] <k1l_> haskel: so i would ask the hoster if that is meant to be that way (which shoiuld obviously now)
[18:30] <dcz> MonkeyDust, do you have any idea , why i get black screen after nvidia-xorg
[18:30] <dcz> s/nvidia-xorg/nvidia-xconfig
[18:30] <demo> check your X11 settings
[18:30] <hrob> haskel, sorry, I meant you do need  -sh switch
[18:31] <epopt> haskel: df -i will show you an inode audit. Exhausting inodes will report 100% usage even when you have much actual space.
[18:31] <demo> i mean xorg.conf
[18:31] <haskel> epopt, it says: /dev/xvda1     7864320 193103 7671217    3% /
[18:31] <haskel> epopt, does that mean I have free space?
[18:32] <epopt> haskel: seems so
[18:32] <haskel> epopt, so what is going on lol
[18:32] <hrob> epopt, haskel   epopt  is correct,  once you get above 96 or 98%  you will not be able to run some applications correctly
[18:32] <hrob> because they will lose write permission to /tmp and other thing
[18:33] <hokage> s
[18:33] <haskel> hrob, that's exactly what happened, I had a website and it stopped working
[18:33] <saad> test
[18:33] <saad> sss
[18:33] <saad> ss
[18:33] <saad> ss
[18:33] <hrob> haskel,   many programs on your linux will stop functioning because they need to write tmp files and logs
[18:33] <hokage> ss
[18:34] <hrob> haskel,  what happens when you   sudo du -sh /  ?
[18:34] <hrob> you will have to wait a long time
[18:34] <haskel> hrob, so what should I do, I was trying to find large files to delete, but nothing is halping
[18:34] <hrob> haskel,  listing and summing up all files on your computer takes time
[18:34] <haskel> hrob, http://imgur.com/vijMXMt
[18:35] <hrob> haskel,    better way to list data usage from root is to do   $ sudo du -su /*
[18:35] <haskel> hrob, it is the second command around the middle
[18:35] <hrob> haskel,  this will list each root directory and tell you which ones are biggest
[18:35] <hrob> df -h
[18:35] <hrob> haskel, can you show du -h
[18:36] <haskel> du -h gives like a million results haha
[18:36] <haskel> hrob, sudo du -su /* this complains that u is not a valid argument
[18:37] <lorenzo_> black sails
[18:37] <haskel> hrob, df -h gives: /dev/xvda1      118G  114G     0 100% /
[18:37] <hrob> haskel, sorry mean -sh
[18:37] <haskel> hrob, I deleted some unnecessary files, and it opened a gig of space, but then it is full
[18:37] <hrob> haskel,  what happens when you do sudo du -sh /home/*
[18:37] <haskel> hrob, something atm is filling up the hard disk
[18:38] <haskel> hrob, home is only 6.4G
[18:39] <hrob> haskel,  what happens when you do sudo du -sh /var/
[18:39] <hrob> haskel,  what happens when you do sudo du -sh /var/*
[18:39] <Fah> why not just print out the top 20 largest directories by size and drill down from whatever pops out at you?
[18:39] <hrob> haskel,  you say you run a website,  there are a lot of error logs under /var
[18:40] <Fah> sudo du -m -x / | sort -nr | head -n 20
[18:40] <haskel> hrob, sudo du -sh /var/*  shows the largest file to be 150MB
[18:40] <haskel> hrob, it was a django website, but I cannot find any large cache folders or files
[18:40] <haskel> Fah, trying that, it is taking a sec
[18:41] <hrob> haskel,  I agree it is strange
[18:41] <R13ose> How do I test websites for IE and Safari on my Ubuntu machine?
[18:41] <haskel> Fah,
[18:41] <haskel> 13297   /
[18:41] <haskel> 6496    /home/ubuntu
[18:41] <haskel> 6496    /home
[18:41] <haskel> 6264    /home/ubuntu/Projects/deepclassification
[18:42] <haskel> 6264    /home/ubuntu/Projects
[18:42] <hrob> haskel,  could it be you have large hidden files?
[18:42] <hrob> http://askubuntu.com/questions/356902/why-doesnt-this-show-the-hidden-files-folders/363681
[18:42] <MonkeyDust> haskel  next time, use a !pastebin
[18:43] <Fah> Well it looks like half your space is going into deepclassification
[18:44] <haskel> Fah, hmm let me check that out
[18:45] <haskel> Fah, but my home should only be 6.4G
[18:46] <haskel> Fah, hrob, guys I figured it out!
[18:46] <mrr411> well 16.4 just broke my media center computer.... GRRRRR
[18:46] <haskel> Fah, hrob, it had to do with me creating AWS images, for some reason the images I created were associated with that server
[18:47] <haskel> Fah, hrob, I deleted some unnecessary images and now it is all good!
[18:49] <ropo> shall i use this --> https://paolorotolo.github.io/android-studio/ ?? or nawh? I mean is it safe?
[18:51] <PSUser2> hi
[18:51] <reisio> ropo: he's apparently an Ubuntu developer
[18:52] <mrr411> so was doing the upgrade to 16.4... got about half way done and stopped said it was stopped due to some issues so i went to go into the area to make sre it can update new distro stuff and what not. said 16.4 had an error and if it continued to restart so i did and now it goes to words saying what its doing them back and collored screens then goes to a black screen
[18:52] <reisio> ropo: should be as safe as something that isn't in the standard repos can be
[18:52] <reisio> as safe as clowny android things can be :p
[18:52] <mrr411> tried getting it to go to a iso thumbdrive and it wont even do that
[18:52] <ropo> Ok, I will just go ahead and install it. :)
[18:53] <PSUser2> i want to secure an ubuntu PC, for a personal http server, that will only have one visitor(me). I'm a noob, what should I disable/enable to make sure that everything is safe? also, how can I check if I haven't put a root password by mistake in the past?
[18:53] <PSUser2> it will be accessible via only 1 port forwarded to the router(the http port)
[18:54] <PSUser2> but i want to make sure that everything is safe
[18:55] <derpingit> i'm trying to get LACP bonding to work in ubuntu..can someone help? i got the bond created and all, and it looks like the link is UP, but i can't connect to the internet
[18:56] <derpingit> ethtool tells me the speed and duplex on both cards is full and 1000
[18:56] <MonkeyDust> PSUser2  there's also ##security
[18:57] <PSUser2> ok MonkeyDust
[18:57] <PSUser2> thank you
[18:58] <DiamondSword> Hello I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 beta 2 and I've a optimus laptop (Intel gpu on board and nvidia external) I have overheating issue and my battery doesn't go well as it does when I was using Windows..
[18:58] <nacc> DiamondSword: #ubuntu+1
[18:58] <_1a> I want to compile linux kernel 4.5.1
[18:59] <_1a> My current kernel version is 4.4.0
[18:59] <DiamondSword> I've read about TLP, thermald, laptop mode tools, cpufreq .. which one do I need ?
[18:59] <DiamondSword> nacc, sorry ?
[18:59] <mrr411> u want just one ubuntu upgrade to go right.....
[19:00] <_1a> So i have to download source code and run the update?
[19:00] <MonkeyDust> DiamondSword  #ubuntu+1 for xenial
[19:10] <strixdio> Hey everyone. Using docker with base as ubuntu:latest, apt-cache search nvidia-cg-toolkit shows nothing, but it's listed on packages.ubuntu.com -- any ideas?
[19:12] <mrr411> great now my computer is just peeping and blinking at me!!! real close to going back to windows glad this wasnt my mian comouter!
[19:12] <nacc> strixdio: maybe no multiverse?
[19:12] <strixdio> nacc: I'm not familiar with that.
[19:12] <strixdio> mrr411: ouch, what happened?
[19:13] <nacc> strixdio: there are multiple components to ubuntu, the package you referred to is in multiverse
[19:13] <strixdio> I'm used to fedora tbh
[19:13] <strixdio> lol
[19:13] <nacc> strixdio: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[19:13] <nacc> mrr411: you might have more luck in #ubuntu+1 fwiw
[19:13] <Emersont1> Hey. Is anyone here familiar with the ubuntu font liscence?
[19:14] <mrr411> nacc thanks
[19:14] <ouroumov_> mrr411, you're surprised an update to an unsupported beta version of the OS is going apeshit?
[19:14] <strixdio> nacc: thanks :)
[19:14] <mrr411> no but didnt think it would brick my computer!
[19:16] <DArqueBishop> mrr411: you install a OS in beta, you're going to get issues.
[19:16] <DArqueBishop> Then again, a badly applied update will brick even Windows boxes.
[19:17] <R13ose> I tried to install Safari and IE but they are old versions and shouldn't I be installing Microsoft Edge instead on my Ubuntu 15.10?
[19:18] <Rave1> R13ose,  ah no why would you even think that
[19:19] <R13ose> Rave1: cross browser testing
[19:20] <DArqueBishop> R13ose: a better idea would be to run them under Windows VMs, if you're insisting on doing it on your Ubuntu box.
[19:20] <Rave1> R13ose,  well they will not instal natively on a linux system
[19:20] <BluesKaj> R13ose, even my windows buddies don't run ant vewrson of IE
[19:20] <R13ose> The latest Safari runs only oon a mac
[19:21] <BluesKaj> any
[19:23] <boriseto> Is there someone that still uses gnome-fallback metacity?
[19:23] <Rave1> R13ose,  why dont you just email all your web surfing history directly to microsoft and save them the time to look through your stuff.if you want to do that so badly
[19:24] <nacc> Rave1: #offtopic :)
[19:24] <R13ose> I shouldn't install either IE or Safari and not test my website in those browsers?
[19:24] <Rave1> nacc,  yes so true couldnt resist though
[19:24] <nacc> Rave1: neither IE or Safari are available in Linux
[19:25] <Rave1> nacc,  I am well aware  not me that whats to use them,
[19:25] <nacc> Rave1: argh, sorry!
[19:25] <MonkeyDust> there used to be IE4linux or so
[19:25] <Rave1> lol
[19:25] <nacc> R13ose: neither IE or Safari are available in Linux
[19:27] <R13ose> Yes but as I said shouldn't I install Microsoft Edge now?
[19:28] <danann> Hi. I'm trying to get ubuntu running on my laptop, but I can't even get the live to boot. I get a bunch of scheduler errors, then it proceeds just to freeze on ubuntu loading screen. Image of the errors https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/110465585/temp/P_20160411_221327.jpg
[19:28] <R13ose> nacc: I know but there must be a way to install Safari using other tools.
[19:28] <sooli> Hi All, does someone know RVM and mina for deploying Ruby App ?
[19:29] <danann> suspecting of kernel incompatibility, I've tried both 14.04 lts and 15.10. same problem on both. My laptopd doesn't have any bleeding edge component, everything was released Q1 2015
[19:29] <teward> R13ose: Safari and Edge and IE are all not supported on Ubuntu, do not exist in Ubuntu, and none of those run well even in Wine.  If you need those, go get a Windows computer to test things with.
[19:29] <MonkeyDust> http://www.aktuelinternet.com/images/upload/image/windows-10-ie-no-more-01.png
[19:29] <nacc> R13ose: you want to run Safari in Ubunut? that is not possible, full stop. You can run in a Windows VM or Mac VM
[19:29] <danann> Does anyone have any idea what else I could try?
[19:29] <R13ose> Thanks everyone
[19:29] <nacc> presuming such a thing would be possible :)
[19:29] <R13ose> What do others test websites in Opera, Chrome and Firefox only?
[19:30] <nacc> R13ose: they use browsers where they are supported, i assume -- so IE testing in Windows
[19:30] <nacc> danann: what version of ubuntu?
[19:30] <nacc> danann: those appear to all be nouveau driver messages
[19:30] <nacc> danann: for an nvidia graphics card
[19:30] <danann> tried both 14.04 lts and 15.10. Oh yeah, I also tried using the nomodeset thing
[19:31] <danann> didn't help
[19:31] <Bashing-om> danann: Did you check the md5sum of the .iso ? Sis you verify the copy to install media ? Can you boot the live installer to a boot options menu ?
[19:31] <auronandace> R13ose: you realise opera is using the same rendering engine as chrome now?
[19:32] <danann> I can get to the boot options. Will make sure to verify md5, just a sec...
[19:32] <R13ose> auronandace: yes I know.  I keep up with browsers but don't install most of them.
[19:32] <james_> Hey
[19:32] <brainwash> danann: what happens if you boot with nomodeset?
[19:32] <danann> same thing
[19:32] <danann> freezes
[19:33] <Guest77083> I'm such a n00b to hexchat o.o
[19:33] <danann> on the Ubuntu . . . . . thing
[19:33] <brainwash> danann: which error message?
[19:33] <danann> it just freezes. the error messages from the screenshot appears quickly before proceeding to the loading screen
[19:34] <danann> where can I find md5 of the isos?
[19:34] <brainwash> danann: maybe give the daily 16.04 iso a try. final release is soon anyway.
[19:34] <MonkeyDust> danann  hit F12 when yoou see the 5 dots... any errors?
[19:35] <danann> MonkeyDust I
[19:36] <danann> MonkeyDust I"ll try that in a bit. have to reboot for that (I'm on the laptop)
[19:36] <danann> brainwash hmm worth a try
[19:36] <danann> will try too
[19:36] <danann> but hey, still can't find md5 for the iso... this shouldn't be made so difficult to find
[19:38] <danann> got it thanks to google. it's fine. but damn, someone's gotta tell canonical that they shouldn't hide the md5 like that
[19:38] <brainwash> !md5
[19:38] <danann> brb will try the f12 thing
[19:39] <danann> I didn't have trouble calculating the md5. I had trouble finding the correct one to compare
[19:39] <ioria> danann, you can check the iso from the Main menu
[19:40] <Bashing-om> danann: See if this helps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes .
[19:44] <jj_> hi
[19:45] <jj_> what are you doing all??
[19:46] <danann> back. so, f12 doesn't even respond. it gets completely frozen
[19:46] <danann> I made a video, will upload soon
[19:46] <Bashing-om> jj_: Ubuntu support. General chat is #ubuntu-oftopic :)
[19:47] <jj_> ok
[19:48] <jj_> ubuntu has cool games to download??
[19:49] <danann> ugh. it turned out to be large, will take too long to upload and there's not much to it really, other than freezing at black loading screen written Ubuntu with colored dots below
[19:50] <ioria> danann,  F6 remove quite spalsh ?
[19:50] <nuno_nunes> jj_ using repo http://www.getdeb.net/ this version this ubuntu is?

[19:57] <danann> oh hey! turns out I managed to boot after realizing I was typing the "nomodeset" in the wrong place
[19:58] <nacc> danann: :)
[20:01] <fullstop> Hi all.  Where would be the right place to ask about the inclusion of a root certificate?  Does that fall more into debian-land?
[20:04] <danann> thank you all, have a great day. will have some fun now setting stuff up
[20:09] <_pash> hey, is there a way to move the bootloader onto a usb stick?
[20:09] <_pash> to only allow booting when its inserted?
[20:09] <_pash> I also have FDE
[20:10] <dontknow> _pash, i guess you have to reinstall
[20:10] <_pash> yup thats fine
[20:10] <_pash> but how can i install the bootloader on a usb and also enable FDE?
[20:10] <_pash> of the root and swap
[20:10] <bekks> Whats FDE?
[20:11] <_pash> full disk encryption
[20:11] <bekks> you can insert the stick prior installation, install, and select the stck as the target for the grub installation.
[20:11] <dontknow> _pash, you need to plug the usb in and select it when it ask installing grub
[20:12] <_pash> is that in the gui or shell install?
[20:12] <dontknow> i don't know about gui install
[20:13] <_pash> because ive done a gui installation today and selected install ubuntu on the whole disk
[20:13] <_pash> and it never asked me for the /boot device
[20:14] <dontknow> you must be select automated install or something. have no idea
[20:15] <dontknow> _pash, you want to prevent evil maid attack?
[20:15] <_pash> dontknow: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall#Installation_type i selected erase disk and install
[20:15] <_pash> dontknow: yeah
[20:17] <dontknow> _pash, select "something else". it may ask your grub installation
[20:17] <dontknow> but it is better installing in text mode imo
[20:18] <dontknow> with netinstall
[20:19] <_pash> what if i just copy /boot onto that drive, then install grub on it
[20:19] <andi> Hi
[20:20] <andi> How can I put statements of a special program into a separate log with rsyslog?
[20:21] <dontknow> _pash, i don't know. but i bet you would need more than that

[20:37] <Humorousone> Hello
[20:37] <fgramos> hollo
[20:37] <Humorousone> I'm thinking about installing ubuntu, should I wait until 16/04?
[20:38] <fgramos> como entrar em outrocanal?
[20:38] <Humorousone> I've got the iso downloaded here
[20:38] <bekks> Humorousone: you can install 14.04 and use it until 2019.
[20:38] <jess_> 16.04 is now
[20:38] <k1l_> Humorousone: install 15.10. then upgrade from end of april to july to the 16.04
[20:38] <k1l_> jess_: no. its not released yet.
[20:38] <jess_> ubuntu mate 16.04
[20:39] <k1l_> !16.04 | jess_
[20:39] <Humorousone> also
[20:39] <jess_> i run it now
[20:39] <Humorousone> can anyone recommend a good guide to installing ubuntu alongside W10?

[20:39] <bekks> !dualboot | Humorousone
[20:39] <Humorousone> bekks: <3
[20:39] <k1l_> jess_: you are running a development version. so stop telling people to run it. #ubuntu+1 for 16.04 untill the release
[20:40] <jess_> install win 10 first an leave some space foe ubuntu
[20:40] <jess_>   nk
[20:40] <Humorousone> W10 came preinstalled
[20:41] <Humorousone> Will using grub2 slow down my boot at all?
[20:41] <jess_> just kill it
[20:41] <Humorousone> as opposed to the default MS bootloader
[20:41] <k1l_> Humorousone: you need some bootloader that can switch between win and ubuntu.
[20:45] <finnigan> what channel will give me help improving my driver?
[20:45] <EriC^^> Humorousone: should be about the same
[20:46] <finnigan> my problem is that gzdoom requires opengl 3.0 better, but my version is 1.4, and adding a ppa and upgrade hasn't helped.
[20:58] <brainwash> finnigan: which gpu?
[20:59] <finnigan> what is gpu?
[20:59] <brainwash> graphics processing unit

[21:38] <sector_0> is there much of a difference between xubuntu, ubuntu, lubuntu, etc?
[21:39] <sector_0> ...other than the desktop environment?
[21:39] <bekks> No.
[21:39] <\9> not particularly
[21:40] <finnigan> how do i determine my gpu?
[21:40] <k1l_> sector_0: lubuntu uses zram by default
[21:42] <sector_0> k1l_, oh ok
[21:43] <sector_0> I'm trying to pick a linux distro
[21:43] <sector_0> I've decided to go with ubuntu but now I need to choose a variant
[21:43] <bekks> Why do you _need_ to?
[21:43] <sector_0> my current setup is as follows...
[21:43] <\9> why do you need to choose*
[21:44] <\9> ?*
[21:44] <k1l_> sector_0: lubuntus focus is to run on slow and old hardware,
[21:44] <sector_0> well I don't *need* to choose, but I can't use 3 different variants simultaneously
[21:44] <bekks> sector_0: Why not?
[21:44] <k1l_> sector_0: you can
[21:45] <sector_0> bekks, k1l_ operative word: SIMULTANEOUSLY
[21:45] <\9> well you can't use all 3 at once but you can have all the desktops installed if you want to try them out
[21:45] <k1l_> sector_0: you can install the *ubuntu-desktop packages (or just the desktop environments) and choose on login screen which to use for the session
[21:45] <bekks> sector_0: And you cannot use 3 distro SIMULTANEOUSLY.
[21:46] <\9> anyway yeah lubuntu and xubuntu focus on older hardware. kubuntu is if you want the kde desktop, ubuntu mate if you want the traditional gnome 2 with a new skin
[21:47] <sector_0> \9, my current setup is: intel i7 4790k, 8GB ram, ATI radeon 7870, 120GB SSD (primary) and 1TB HDD (secondary)
[21:47] <sector_0> I'll be using it for gaming occasionally, and a lot of programming
[21:48] <\9> I guess lubuntu and xubuntu will be needlessly minimalistic then
[21:48] <k1l_> that will work with any desktop you get. so choose what looks best to you
[21:48] <\9> yeah
[21:49] <sector_0> ok then
[21:49] <k1l_> here are some: http://imgur.com/a/9iaLJ
[21:49] <sarathi-pc> hii
[21:49] <Umeaboy> sector_0: Try PuppyLinux as well. :)
[21:49] <\9> heh
[21:50] <sarathi-pc> hello
[21:51] <adrian_1908> sector_0: I'm a big fan of Xubuntu, but why not just go with the default (Ubuntu), that's always a sensible choice when it comes to features, support, etc.
[21:52] <sector_0> adrian_1908, I'm actually using xubuntu (for about 2years now)
[21:53] <adrian_1908> ah ok. I thought you were new to Linux. I didn't scroll up far.
[21:53] <sector_0> I just wanted to explore my options, now that I'm reinstalling
[21:53] <sector_0> adrian_1908, nah I didn't mention it before
[21:54] <Umeaboy> I'm using both Ubuntu and Mageia.
[21:54] <Umeaboy> :)
[21:55] <k1l_> sector_0: look at this , too. http://askubuntu.com/questions/65083/what-kinds-of-desktop-environments-and-shells-are-available
[21:58] <ouroumov> sector_0, try Ubuntu MATE
[21:58] <ShaRose> So, I've been trying to increase ulimit -n for all users for a bit of time, followed pretty much every guide I found while googling, and somehow have thusfar failed to get ubuntu to do what I want.
[22:00] <adrian_1908> sector_0: Also, if you don't mind a slight break with common DE patterns, Ubuntu GNOME (using GNOME3) might be worth a shot. I found it to look and feel very polished, but I'm a Classic Desktop kind of guy so I didn't stay with it.
[22:02] <ShaRose> Generally, the accepted answer is edit /etc/security/limits.conf (done), edit anything in /etc/security/limits.d/*.conf (weren't any there, added one myself to test), added fs.file-max to /etc/sysctl.conf (which worked, according to cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max), and made sure that session required pam_limits.so is in both /etc/pam.d/su and common-session
[22:03] <ShaRose> and of course rebooted a few times for good measure
[22:03] <ShaRose> of course, ulimit -n still returns 1024 even for root
[22:03] <sector_0> ouroumov, for a moment I thought you were shouting a response at me lol
[22:03] <ouroumov> Nope :)
[22:04] <k1l_> the issue with personal recommendations is: they are personal. i bet none of us got the same workflow as sector_0 or taste. so he will need to decide on his own :)
[22:05] <sector_0> k1l_, yeah i just need a few pointers
[22:05] <sector_0> thanks a lot guys
[22:05] <sector_0> I think I'm better equipped to make a decision
[22:12] <Humoroustwo> Hello
[22:12] <Humoroustwo> I made a whoopsie :C
[22:12] <Humoroustwo> (or at least, I think I did)
[22:13] <Humoroustwo> I installed ubuntu, but midway through the installation the live USB came loose
[22:13] <Humoroustwo> long story short after reinstalling Windows dissapeared from my Grub boot options
[22:13] <Humoroustwo> the windows bootloader is there, but I think the windows option itself is missing
[22:14] <Umeaboy> Humoroustwo: Use sudo os-prober && sudo update-grub2
[22:14] <Umeaboy> That should fix it.
[22:15] <Humoroustwo> does sudo update-grub do the same thing as sudo update-grub2?
[22:15] <rob0> unless somehow you overwrote the Windows partition, which does not sound likely from the description
[22:15] <Umeaboy> Otherwise you have to boot into recovery mode from an Ubuntu installation.
[22:15] <Humoroustwo> Yeah, I reinstalled using the 'overwrite ubuntu partition'
[22:15] <Humoroustwo> *option
[22:15] <k1l_> Humoroustwo: it works with both commands
[22:16] <Umeaboy> If you use Grub 0.97 it's better to use sudo update-grub since I believe that update-grub2 doesn't exist.
[22:16] <Umeaboy> I think it's an arch thing.
[22:16] <Umeaboy> I may be wrong thou.
[22:17] <Humoroustwo> restarting now
[22:17] <Humoroustwo> brb
[22:17] <Umeaboy> OK.
[22:22] <Umeaboy> Going to bed. Take care guys and gals.

[22:25] <Mia> Hey all, how do I download and install this http://scummvm.org/frs/scummvm/1.8.0/scummvm-1.8.0-raspberrypi.tar.gz
[22:25] <Mia> I mean in general, anything that I have link
[22:25] <Mia> I don't know the logic
[22:25] <Humoroustwo> should the windows bootloader be the only option available when doing a dual boot with windows?
[22:25] <Mia> do I just download and extract?
[22:26] <ShaRose> well, you should end up with a .img, and then you dd it to a microsd card generally is how rPi stuff goes.
[22:26] <ShaRose> oh? apparently that one isn't a .img
[22:26] <k1l_> Mia: its int the ubuntu repos. so you install that from there
[22:26] <Mia> k1l_, for this case, it is
[22:26] <Mia> but I'm asking for a general case
[22:26] <Mia> sometimes software is in tar.gz form only, and not in the repo
[22:27] <Mia> I don't know how to install them, so asking :)
[22:27] <ShaRose> Mia it has instructions in the readme actually :P
[22:27] <k1l_> Mia: you can compile programs yourself. but be aware that you lose support form ubuntu then. which means you get no updates (even no security ones) and you have to look for depencies yourself
[22:28] <Mia> hmmm
[22:28] <Mia> so .tar.gz means I need to compile myself?
[22:28] <ShaRose> you install the dependancies, and then run the binary is the gist of it
[22:28] <Mia> hmm
[22:28] <ShaRose> .tar.gz is like... .zip. it's an arcive.
[22:28] <ShaRose> archive*
[22:29] <teward> Mia: .tar.gz does not automatically imply compiling
[22:29] <Bashing-om> Humoroustwo: Both Windows and ubuntu installed onto the same hard drive ?
[22:29] <teward> Mia: for instance, I have a package that is not in the repos that I have on my machines only; it is actually a set of ten packages, which I throw in a .tar.gz (a "tarball") and then push to my servers
[22:29] <Mia> hm, so simply, I need to find and read the specific instructions for those fils?
[22:29] <teward> Mia: from there, I install the packages after unzipping it
[22:30] <Mia> I thought they're something that imply a certain way of installation
[22:30] <k1l_> Mia: yes.
[22:30] <Humoroustwo> Bashing-om, correct, it appears the windows installation is intact
[22:30] <teward> Mia: yes, a .tar.gz may be a tarball of source code, or it may be a tarball of binaries that you have to execute, or something else.  Reading a readme or instructions for that tarball/software will help determine what is actually needed to be done.
[22:30] <Mia> okay, thank you k1l_ teward ShaRose
[22:31] <Bashing-om> Humoroustwo: And with ' sudo update-grub ' is Windows "found" ?
[22:33] <Humoroustwo> "found windows boot manager"
[22:33] <drab> hi, any thoughts on this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/754947/how-to-fix-no-kernel-modules-were-found

[22:55] <the_count> Hello! I was trying to figure out if I can speed up the time GRUP takes to load and initialize Ubuntu. As it stands, GRUB takes longer than ubuntu to load, measuring from the time the GRUB window appears to the time the Ubuntu loading screen shows, and from there till  the login screen. I have GRUB set so it will not display anything, bit it didn't seem to help
[22:56] <compdoc> dont think that happens on my systems
[22:57] <the_count> Back
[23:02] <the_count> Is anyone around? Hello! I was trying to figure out if I can speed up the time GRUP takes to load and initialize Ubuntu. As it stands, GRUB takes longer than ubuntu to load, measuring from the time the GRUB window appears to the time the Ubuntu loading screen shows, and from there till  the login screen. I have GRUB set so it will not display anything, bit it didn't seem to help
[23:03] <UserUS> you can change the grub start up programs in the grub.conf file
[23:03] <UserUS> turn off useless processes and it should speed it right up. Just know what you are turning off and on first
[23:03] <plusEV> or check your bios if you have some pxebooting that takes for ever.
[23:05] <the_count> UserUS: How would I do this?
[23:06] <Bashing-om> the_count: In the config file /etc/default/grub set "GRUB_TIMEOUT=10" to say 2 . See if that helps .
[23:06] <the_count> plusEV: No PXE booting
[23:07] <genii> the_count: I recommend Bashing-om's method. Don't forget to run sudo update-grub afterwards
[23:08] <the_count> Bashing-om: I have it set at 0, and confusing myself with why it didn't do anything. I have it set to not even display the menu to select the boot os in hopes of speeding it up, but It didn't work, I'll change it to 2 in a second
[23:08] <Jordan_U> the_count: Please pastebin your /etc/default/grub and /boot/grub/grub.cfg .
[23:10] <the_count> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15802417/
[23:10] <UserUS> the_count: you would type "sudo nano grub.conf" and search for the start up programs. Remove the "##" symbol and place one "#" to turn something off

[23:10] <TAFB> How can I install the LATEST ffmpeg in Ubuntu 15.04? I'm trying to use "-stream_loop" but I need a new version than ffmpeg version 2.5.10 :(
[23:12] <UserUS> TAFB: did you try sudo apt-get?
[23:12] <TAFB> yep, installs super old 2.5 something
[23:12] <UserUS> what is your source for the package?
[23:12] <TAFB> no idea :(
[23:12] <Jordan_U> TAFB: Any reason you haven't upgraded to Ubuntu 15.10?
[23:12] <UserUS> mmk lemme research it for a min
[23:13] <TAFB> I'm trying  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:djcj/hybrid now
[23:13] <TAFB> supposed to be 2.8 something
[23:13] <TAFB> Jordan_U: I'm a linux noob, and these are my VPS servers, not sure I can go to 15.10 :)
[23:13] <UserUS> TAFB: here you go mate, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/vivid/+source/ffmpeg
[23:15] <TAFB> So 2.5.4 is the newest?? strange
[23:15] <TAFB> "-stream_loop" is supposed in version 2.8.2 and newer...
[23:16] <Jordan_U> TAFB: Support for 15.04 ended February 4th, so you are running insecure software, with *known but unfixed* security vulnerabilites, on your VPS, which is open to the wide ugly interwebs. I would ditxh that VPS provider.
[23:16] <the_count> Jordan_U: WHat do you think?
[23:16] <TAFB> Jordan_U: Okies, thanks. I'll ask them to upgrade me :D
[23:16] <UserUS> I'm on 14.04 LTS lol :P
[23:16] <dm_comp> hi, help http://paste.ubuntu.com/15802455/  gromit and bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gromit/+bug/1143137
[23:16] <k1l_> TAFB: running 15.04 is bad. its dead like windows vista is. either upgrade to 15.10 or use the 14.04 LTS for server which got 5 years support
[23:17] <TAFB> i hate vista
[23:18] <TAFB> UserUS: https://ffmpeg.org/download.html#release_3.0
[23:18] <TAFB> is it difficult to install that?
[23:18] <dm_comp> nothing really to go on here :(
[23:18] <Jordan_U> the_count: That should wait 2 seconds if the last boot "succeeded" (got as far as sucessfully clearing the recordfail flag) and 30 seconds otherwise.
[23:19] <UserUS> no, you need to download it, unpack it, and run the system executable after sudo chmod +x "file name"
[23:19] <TAFB> nice. The xz.tarball?
[23:20] <UserUS> yeah. there is a certain command to run it let me find it
[23:20] <UserUS> it's something like tar -xvf
[23:21] <dm_comp> I think that bug is back or it was never fixed and what i can see in the bug report i think it was never looked at
[23:21] <UserUS> nvm, if you want to manually unpack it you can use the tar command but it's easier to just extract it somehwere
[23:21] <TAFB> UserUS: it unpacked :)
[23:22] <TAFB> looks like source code
[23:23] <Jordan_U> the_count: Is that not what is happening for you?
[23:23] <avis> enjoy :D
[23:24] <UserUS> Jordan_U: no, he got it
[23:25] <the_count> Jordan_U: What I would like is if it booted Ubuntu without showing the menu unless I held down shift or something like that, and booted directly to Ubuntu without having to wait... I have a SSD, but I don't see any reason why GRUB would take three seconds longer to boot than Ubuntu does.
[23:26] <UserUS> thats what you want to do
[23:26] <UserUS> you can install something like refind to get rid of the load screen, and just see the back end codes running. but the start screen is necessary as its loading. it must show someting
[23:27] <UserUS> you can change what it shows for the loading screen, but I don't even know how to do that. if you figure it out more props to you
[23:28] <TAFB> it's compiling now :D
[23:28] <UserUS> great :)
[23:28] <the_count> UserUS: This is why I am here, because I don't have the expertise to know how to do it myself. I do know that it is loading, but I think part of that time is to wait for user input.
[23:28] <TAFB> i read the readme and install file, pretty good instructions :D
[23:28] <UserUS> the_count: all good. lemme research it
[23:29] <UserUS> http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2012/10/grub-splash-image/
[23:29] <UserUS> its a little old but should be the same information
[23:30] <the_count> UserUS: You don't understand the problem
[23:30] <the_count> UserUS: I know how to change the appearance of GRUB
[23:30] <UserUS> the_count: so you do just want it to load faster then, am I understanding correctly?
[23:35] <Jordan_U> the_count: How much time during boot is spent in grub? How much in total? How are you determining the tine taken in grub? Is this a BIOS or UEFI based install?
[23:36] <UserUS> You can also page your HDD to run memory from the hard drive if you are willing to go beyond changing OS settings
[23:37] <adrian_1908> the_count: what are you grub settings now?
[23:37] <the_count> Jordan_U: It is about 6 seconds for grub, maybe 4 max for ubuntu. I believe it is a UEFI based install
[23:38] <UserUS> adrian_1908: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15802419/
[23:38] <the_count> adrian_1908: I posted them above warlier
[23:38] <the_count> s/warlier/earlier
[23:39] <adrian_1908> and /etc/default/grub? Maybe the settings in there introduce a waiting period.
[23:39] <Jordan_U> the_count: How are you measuring time in grub? Note that there is a period of time after the kernel has been loaded and before anything draws to the screen.
[23:40] <jake_> Hello, I have recently acquired an HP Envy 17 inch. It says on that it should get 7 - 10 hours battery life. I took windows off straight away and put Ubuntu 15.10 on there... it now gets just over 3. Is this to be expected?
[23:40] <the_count> Jordan_U: Just from how it looks, I haven't actually measured anything
[23:41] <UserUS> the_count: there might be a waiting time for splash, i'd check /etc/default/grub or "grub2"
[23:42] <TAFB> how long ffmpeg supposed to take to compile?
[23:43] <adrian_1908> the_count: My /etc/default/grub looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15802623/ (the relevant lines) and I have fast bootup. See if your settings diverge.
[23:43] <ubuntu558> Hi there, I've realized My microphone isn't working, i cannot increase the input volume either, I installed pavucontrol a week ago to get simultaneous audio ouput but just realized my mic isn't working, I've uninstalled it now, but still no mic,
[23:43] <UserUS> TAFB: Depends on your computer, and OS, but less than an hour
[23:43] <TAFB> ahhhh. thanks :D
[23:44] <UserUS> ubuntu558: roll back the driver
[23:44] <gambl0re> anyone here that can walk me through how to isntall mangodb on my ubuntu vm?
[23:44] <adrian_1908> also, use multiple threads to compile, if possible :)
[23:44] <ubuntu558> UserUS:  not exactly sure how to go about that
[23:44] <gambl0re> im using the mango docs https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/#install-mongodb-community-edition
[23:44] <UserUS> ubuntu558: gotcha, gimme a sec mate
[23:44] <gambl0re> i dont want to f*ck it up
[23:44] <TheMarius> hp envy sounds like one sweet puter
[23:45] <Tryptich99> goats
[23:45] <the_count> Ok, so looking into disabling OS_ Prober, what would I loose?
[23:45] <UserUS> ubuntu558: also, try running sudo alsa force-reload
[23:46] <adrian_1908> the_count: you can uncomment that, not relevant to speed
[23:46] <ubuntu558> UserUS:  will try
[23:46] <gambl0re> hello?
[23:46] <adrian_1908> the_count: I only have it because I don't want Windows in there, it's on a different SDD which I boot from if instead.
[23:47] <genii> the_count: If you disable os-prober then every time there's a kernel update and update-grub runs, it will not find any operating systems
[23:47] <UserUS> http://www.hecticgeek.com/2012/01/how-to-remove-pulseaudio-use-alsa-ubuntu-linux/
[23:47] <ubuntu558> UserUS:  still nothing
[23:47] <UserUS> just replace the remove with the correct software you are removing
[23:47] <UserUS> so with pavucontrol
[23:48] <UserUS> it will install the most recent ALSA drivers and settings for your system
[23:48] <the_count> genii: Could I do it manually?
[23:48] <ubuntu558> UserUS:   I installed pavucontrol so I could have bluetooth and analog output,  then I noticed my mic not working, the only change was pavucontrol,  so I uninstalled that about ten mins ago hoping it would return things to normal
[23:49] <jake_> Is it known that switching to Ubuntu will reduce the battery life expected from a machine running Windows? I just kind of assumed it would be better... it's halved the life of it.
[23:49] <UserUS> you have to reinstall also into gnome and update it
[23:49] <UserUS> alsa
[23:50] <UserUS> the configuration was changed when you installed pavu
[23:50] <jake_> it could be because Ubuntu does't know how to switch between the dedicated graphics and the onboard to save battery
[23:50] <ubuntu558> UserUS: k i'll try
[23:50] <TAFB> WOOT! "ffmpeg version 3.0.1 Copyright (c) 2000-2016 the FFmpeg developers" finally :)
[23:50] <EriC^^> jake_: yeah if it's in fact using just the dedicated then it would shorten the battery
[23:50] <UserUS> jake_: You can change those kinds of settings mate, that's the beauty of ubuntu
[23:50] <adrian_1908> the_count: Dude, i said it shouldn't be relevant to speed. This only affect querying if you run grub update. Whether GRUB wastes time in the menu is independent of how many entries there are.
[23:50] <ubuntu558> UserUS: says alsa is already the newest version
[23:51] <UserUS> ubuntu558: great. did it reinstall, or say it was already installed?
[23:51] <adrian_1908> the_count: remove/uncomment that line and see if the other changes have an effect.
[23:51] <jake_> Where would you even begin with that? Does Ubuntu have it's own system settings for that kidn of thing or am I looking at third party tools?
[23:51] <ubuntu558> UserUS: it didn't reinstall,  just said already installed and newest version,
[23:51] <jake_> I tried installed Slackware just to compared and it went mental on uefi boot
[23:52] <jake_> I'm sure you can install it on here... but Ubuntu just worked
[23:52] <the_count> genii:: are you saying other operating systems besides my main one?
[23:52] <UserUS> ubuntu558: okay, auto-remove it, and reinstall
[23:52] <UserUS> then run the software center and check for proprietary drivers
[23:52] <UserUS> run a system update, and restart
[23:52] <ubuntu558> UserUS: command for auto-remove ?
[23:52] <UserUS> sudo auto-remove "application name"
[23:53] <the_count> adrian_1908: I have read that the prober slows down the boot process... I'm just trying to understand what it does do
[23:53] <genii> the_count: Without os-prober, grub will write an mbr without any operating systems to boot. So I'm pretty sure I don't want to help you accomplish this.
[23:54] <ubuntu558> UserUS: command auto-remove not found
[23:54] <nehaljwani> Hi, how can I fix this hostname issue: http://fpaste.org/354841/46050526/
[23:54] <UserUS> im sorry
[23:55] <UserUS> sudo apt-get autoremove
[23:55] <adrian_1908> the_count: have you verified that the other settings don't fit you problem already? You said you didn't want GRUB to wait/show unless you pressed a key. These settings should make it boot your OS fairly quickly.
[23:55] <adrian_1908> *fix your problem
[23:55] <sagik> hi
[23:55] <ubuntu558> UserUS: I should have assumed that, sorry
[23:55] <UserUS> np, I forgot lol
[23:55] <sagik> my ubuntu 14.04 crashed, looks like a kernel panic
[23:55] <sagik> i was wondering, if there's like a coredump
[23:55] <the_count> gentii: so, it detects other operating systems, so not really needed if there aren't any others, or I boot others through UEFI?
[23:55] <sagik> that was saved anywhere
[23:56] <the_count> adrian_1908: Not yet... I'm trying to work at the same time
[23:56] <genii> the_count: It doesn't "detect other operating systems" it detects ALL operating systems.
[23:56] <UserUS> nehljwani: system settings possibly and change the names?
[23:56] <gambl0re> how do i update my system?
[23:56] <nehaljwani> UserUS: where?
[23:56] <UserUS> sagik: there is always a core dump, in the home folder
[23:57] <UserUS> sagik: /home/userus
[23:57] <Bellator> Anyone have PokerStars running on trusty?
[23:57] <UserUS> sagik: then just type ls and it should have a core.### file
[23:57] <ubuntu558> UserUS: I autoremoved  alsa,  then went to reinstall but it says its already installed and the newest version ???
[23:58] <UserUS> nehalwani: top right corner, system settings
[23:58] <sagik> ls | grep core returns nothing :<
[23:58] <UserUS> about this computer*
[23:58] <TAFB> UserUS: thanks so much for the help, the new version works perfect :)
[23:58] <UserUS> TAFB: no problem mate :)
[23:59] <UserUS> ubuntu558: okay, restart first then reinstall and follow the other steps
[23:59] <the_count> gentii: So, why wouldn't disabling this disable my ability to boot at all?
[23:59] <UserUS> if you do a system update to begin with it might even just grab them becuase it notices it's not there
[23:59] <UserUS> after a reboot that is
[23:59] <genii> the_count: That is correct. Which is why it's something you don't want to be doing
[23:59] <UserUS> sagik: just cd /home/userus and type ls
