[00:00] <g2000> OneM_Industries: /home/YOUR_USERNAME/.local/...
[00:00] <OneM_Industries> OH1
[00:00] <OneM_Industries> !*
[00:00] <OneM_Industries> I was in /usr/local/share.
[00:01] <OneM_Industries> Ok, so now how do I use that?
[00:01] <TJ-> romualdo: I suspect you've mixed up the DIMM slot numbers, and left the first slot empty and filled 3 other slots. Try mirroring the layout so the empty slot has one of the 8GB modules and the hext slot has the other 8GB, then the 4GB in the 3rd slot
[00:02] <romualdo> TJ-: but why on windows 8.1 this is not a problem ? (i matched the 8gb in the 2-channel slots, and the 4gb alone in the another 2-channel
[00:03] <TJ-> romualdo: That is strange... do you have any kernel command-line options that could be affecting the way the memory is mapped? check with "cat /proc/cmdline"
[00:04] <romualdo> TJ-: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.19.0-15-generic root=UUID=2ceae185-be3c-420a-8d7f-e66c76bf85ff ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7
[00:04] <g2000> OneM_Industries: Just select the starter (=desktop-file) you just made as the default application for jar files.
[00:04] <OneM_Industries> Ah.
[00:04] <romualdo> TJ-: this is a fresh install, just installed kvirc until now
[00:05] <neorpheus> g2000, thanks alot m8, i wouldnt have thought to look at which driver i was using again. all is well now
[00:06] <TJ-> romualdo: Well the DMI info provided by the BIOS is definitely incorrect as to the memory-mapping, so it looks like the BIOS has a bug and Linux isn't aware of it, but Windows drivers probably are
[00:06] <OneM_Industries> Odd, not seeing the .desktop file anywhere.
[00:06] <g2000> neorpheus: You're welcome!
[00:06] <TJ-> romualdo: do "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" and then "pastebinit /var/log/dmesg" please
[00:07] <neorpheus> now to figure out if i can get Space Engineers working in linux =3
[00:08] <OneM_Industries> I am not seeing the .desktop file anywhere.
[00:08] <g2000> OneM_Industries: Not even when you do a dash search? Try to log out and in again, this should really fix it Oo
[00:08] <OneM_Industries> "Dash search"?
[00:08] <romualdo> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11996845/
[00:09] <romualdo> TJ-: paste.ubuntu.com/11996845
[00:10] <g2000> OneM_Industries: Search for it in the unity dash
[00:10] <onegone> testing
[00:10] <TJ-> romualdo: Arggh, that's got systemd logging hasn't it. Hate it! No system text logs
[00:10] <OneMatt> I am using Lubuntu, which does not use unity, as far as I know.
[00:11] <onegone> lll
[00:11] <barnex> Hey, could someone maybe explain what's going on in bmon? See screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/PF6zGu4.png
[00:11] <romualdo> TJ-: a friend said about something called PAE, that deals with large amount of memory, is not the case ?
[00:11] <barnex> What I don't understand is how p3p1 has no transfer (TX bps) yet it's child (? what it even is?) has some
[00:12] <onegone> gggg
[00:12] <barnex> And ifconfig doesn't know about the transfer in p3p1 apparently, it's always at 0.0B for p3p1
[00:12] <OneMatt> Not seeing it, g2000.
[00:12] <barnex> And the traffic isn't logged in any of the interfaces ;o
[00:13] <TJ-> romualdo: I'd hope you're using the 64-bit release (amd64) in which case it won't matter. check with "dpkg --print-architecture"
[00:14] <romualdo> TJ-: amd64
[00:14] <TJ-> romualdo: Good, so PAE doesn't enter into it that's only for allowing 32-bit systems to access more than 4GB
[00:15] <g2000> OneMatt: Oh sorry, i did not know that. But it should be the same directory for all ubuntu flavours.
[00:16] <g2000> OneMatt: could you paste the contents of your starter at http://paste.ubuntu.com and give me the link, please?
[00:17] <OneMatt> I can type it into the chat, it is only one line.
[00:17] <g2000> OneMatt: Thats why it is not showing up
[00:17] <OneMatt> Oh.
[00:17] <g2000> OneMatt: ill create the file for you (: give me a minute
[00:18] <TJ-> barnex: I believe what you're seeing is as expected with a true Ethernet device
[00:18] <barnex> TJ-: well, can I get transfer stats off of it somehow?
[00:22] <TJ-> barnex: I'm not sure; I would think there's some kind of config for bmon to isolate what you want
[00:22] <barnex> TJ-: yeah, probably. thanks.
[00:23] <TJ-> barnex: I see the same thing here with the physical Ethernet interfaces
[00:24] <g2000> OneMatt: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11996905/ this should do the trick.
[00:25] <OneMatt> Replace %f with the file path?
[00:27] <g2000> OneMatt: Depends on how you want to use the file. Do you want a starter for your specific application or to open JAR files with java by clicking on them?
[00:27] <TJ-> barnex: looks like the extra info about the queue discipline comes from bmon defaulting to using the netlink input module. Try "sudo bmon --input=proc" that output might be more like what you want
[00:27] <barnex> TJ-: thanks
[00:28] <OneMatt> Ah, so keep it as %f to open all different types of java files?
[00:29] <g2000> OneMatt: Yes, this should work if you select the starter as the default application to open jar files.
[00:31] <OneMatt> Odd, still not seeing it under the applications tab...
[00:32] <romualdo> TJ-: no idea how can i fix the memory issue so ?
[00:33] <TJ-> romualdo: without being able to see the boot dmesg log there's not way to know
[00:33] <romualdo> TJ-: and how i enable dmesg log ?
[00:35] <TJ-> romualdo: systemd has made the logs binary; you'll need to tell it to dump the dmesg log as text
[00:35] <romualdo> TJ-: and how i tell ?
[00:36] <g2000> OneMatt: brb
[00:37] <TJ-> romualdo: I can't tell you; I son't use systemd
[00:37] <romualdo> TJ-: hummm, I will try discover it
[00:37] <Spider> test
[00:38] <jaye2> hello. does anyone know where i can find a list of all the preinstalled packages in server 14.04? there's a manifest for the desktop version here, but not for the server version http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/
[00:39] <Spider> test
[00:39] <jamesd> test failed
[00:39] <Spider> dang
[00:39] <wafflejock> Segmentation Fault (core dumped)
[00:39] <Spider> i guess i broke it
[00:40] <g2000> OneMatt: The file works perfectly for me /:
[00:40] <TJ-> jaye2: see http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/trusty/daily/current/
[00:40] <OneMatt> Odd.
[00:40] <g2000> OneMatt: should show up as "OpenJDK 7 Runtime"
[00:40] <OneMatt> Under what section?
[00:41] <OneMatt> Because in lubuntu, the applications are split up into sections by function.
[00:41] <jaye2> TJ-: thank you
[00:42] <g2000> OneMatt: is there something like "miscellaneous"?
[00:43] <OneMatt> Not seeing one.
[00:44] <ianorlyn> OneMatt, try typing openjdk in the run dialog?
[00:45] <g2000> OneMatt: Just try to right-click your jar file, select "Other application..." or similar. In the new window select "OpenJDK 7 Runtime"
[00:45] <OneMatt> That is what I am doing, OpenJDK Runtime is not showing up.
[00:46] <OneMatt> And I have opened up every category.
[00:46] <TJ-> OneMatt: "apt-cache policy openjdk-7-jre"
[00:46] <g2000> OneMatt: can you type in a custom command in the "other application..." window? did not know you are using lubuntu when i suggested using a .desktop file.
[00:46] <xprophetx> best size for root partition?
[00:47] <OneMatt> Yes, I can use a custom command.
[00:47] <g2000> OneMatt: Perfect.
[00:47] <g2000> OneMatt: Get rid of the desktop file and just use "/usr/bin/java -jar %f" as a custom command.
[00:49] <g2000> OneMatt: I originally thought you were using unity. In unity there is no "custom command" option afaik.
[00:50] <elisa87>  hey, I assume I have eventually made a bootable usb http://i.imgur.com/mHwxFdn.png I am not sure if this is correct. I don't know how to boot to USB in Windows8.1 I have tried http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/4935-startup-options-menu-boot-windows-8-a.html but even here when I restart there is no option for booting from USB! Any help is really appreciated!!!
[00:50] <OneMatt> It lives!
[00:52] <OneMatt> And it doesn't work because of internet settings.  :D
[00:53] <OneMatt> Yeah, it executes, but refuses to load up.
[00:53] <OneMatt> Anyway, that is an issue for the #minecraft channel on espernet.
[00:53] <OneMatt> Thank you!
[00:53] <TJ-> elisa87: If the system has Windows 8.1 the firmware of the PC will be UEFI. You'll need to disable 'fastboot' in Windows and ensure the UEFI setup is also set not to do fastboot, if it has that option
[00:54] <g2000> haha
[00:54] <g2000> you are welcome
[00:55] <OneMatt> My friend+linux+me having use linux for more than 5 seconds="Hey, can you get this working?".
[00:59] <elisa87> TJ-: how should I disable fastboot?
[01:00] <TJ-> elisa87: There's some setting in Windows to disable it; check the Windows docs.
[01:01] <TIOTROLLAZO> hola
[01:01] <TIOTROLLAZO> hola
[01:02] <TIOTROLLAZO> :v
[01:02] <OneMatt> Hello!
[01:03] <TIOTROLLAZO> hi speak spanish ?
[01:04] <TJ-> !es | TIOTROLLAZO
[01:06] <elisa87> even though I disabled fast boot in power options in windows 8, I still can't boot from the bootable Ubuntu USB! Any idea what else I can do?
[01:07] <elisa87> I have checked the advanced settings in recovery in PC setting but still the same !!!
[01:09] <daftykins> elisa87: you should be entering the EFI and looking for the boot menu, or pressing a key to get the boot menu. which system is this?
[01:09] <elisa87> It is a Dell laptop with Intel 5th generation CPU daftykins

[01:20] <esr_> hi
[01:20] <esr_> someone here has experience installing Ubuntu and Manjaro side to side? the Manjaro partition goes into a kernel panic
[01:21] <esr_> i did various reinstalls
[01:23] <wileee> esr_, Ubuntu should have nothing to do with this, there support is what's needed.
[01:23] <wileee> their*
[01:23] <elisa87> so I have tried Del, f2 and F12(said by my notebook) when restarting to go to boot option or bios. None worked. It is a Windows 8.1 Enterprise edition. Any idea what I can do!?! I need to change the boot order inorder to boot from the bootable Ubuntu usb
[01:24] <esr_> ok, I though because it has ubuntu as well, maybe can be related as well
[01:24] <andygraybeal> is there a "toddler" or "child" mode for ubuntu?  something that restricts keystrokes.. and keeps them on a certain application/game?
[01:24] <daftykins> elisa87: shutdown by running "shutdown -s -t 1" in Windows, then power on and keep pressing F12 repeatedly.
[01:24] <esr_> thx anyway
[01:24] <daftykins> elisa87: Dell machines _definitely_ are F12
[01:25] <daftykins> elisa87: so unless this is a work or education machine where you don't have the right to install another OS, so it's locked down, it really should work.
[01:25] <elisa87> I have pressed f12 during the whole restart!!! it didn't work!!! it it driving me nuts daftykins
[01:25] <esr_> actually has Peach OSI an Manjaro
[01:25] <daftykins> elisa87: restart isn't what i said
[01:26] <elisa87> nah it is bought for me by my adviser and I am given full administration. I have installed Windows 8.1 enterprise on it and wiped the Win7 and I now need the Ubuntu 14.04 for my robotics project! daftykins
[01:26] <daftykins> enterprise is only allowed for companies - sounds illegal to me
[01:26] <elisa87> I even tried the shut down and advanced setting in PC setting in recovery section. none worked. What did you mean daftykins
[01:27] <elisa87> Our department gives us the right to download the enterprise version of Windows8.1 for projects
[01:27] <elisa87> I have installed Windows8.1 enterprise in my other laptop in school which is for my other job. It is a Gigabyte notebook and by pressing F2 I can go to BIOS setting! daftykins
[01:27] <tgm4883> daftykins: there are plenty of legal ways to get enterprise. MSDN, Technet, you're a company
[01:28] <tgm4883> daftykins: academic alliance
[01:28] <elisa87> It is not a company. It is University of Wisconsin-Madison. tgm4883 daftykins
[01:28] <daftykins> elisa87: that doesn't have anything to do with the Dell though
[01:29] <tgm4883> elisa87: I didn't say you were, I was just listing several legit ways of having enterprise
[01:29] <Rave1> does this laptop have a legacy boot option?
[01:29] <wileee> elisa87, Well known for their intercultural program and approach. ;)
[01:29] <daftykins> legacy has no relevance
[01:29] <elisa87> daftykins: what was the way you wanted me to press f12 as you said don't press it during restart?
[01:29] <daftykins> elisa87: i typed it already above, i'm not going to type it again to save you scrolling up
[01:29] <elisa87> Rave1: yeah my BIOS mode is legacy is that is what you are asking in msinfo32
[01:30] <Rave1> legacy had lots of relavance  to boot from usb on some of mine
[01:30] <tgm4883> Rave1: I don't believe you can boot 8.1 in legacy mode
[01:30] <daftykins> sure can
[01:30] <daftykins> elisa87: you installed 8 in legacy mode? o0
[01:30] <Rave1> user is asking to boot a live USB freom what I read
[01:31] <elisa87> ok I missed that. so by pressing f12 repeatedly you mean I shouldn't put my finger off the f12 button, right?> just to make sure?
[01:31] <tgm4883> daftykins: I thought 8.1 required UEFI?
[01:31] <elisa87> daftykins: I have no idea what I did, I just burn the ISO into a dvd and followed the step! Literally not sure Microsoft has set up for me
[01:32] <Rave1> so if you cant boot win 8.1 in legacy how is it I installed on old machine pre UEFI
[01:32] <daftykins> tgm4883: newp
[01:33] <daftykins> elisa87: sorry that second half doesn't make any sense to me
[01:33] <elisa87> I don't approve of my Windows knowlege! Back to Windows after quite a while due to some Intel and Microsoft hardwares!! that is all! haha
[01:33] <daftykins> elisa87: quite honestly F12 should give a boot menu on a Dell regardless, use F2 to enter the BIOS instead and have a look around - maybe F12 is disabled
[01:34] <daftykins> lots of exclamations! not a lot on topic!
[01:34] <elisa87> I'll try and come back and ping. I won't be able to see messages meanwhile! thanks for the help!!!!!
[01:43] <wileee> tgm4883, W8 installs msdos if your setup that way, I'm in it right now.
[01:44] <wileee> err upgraded to W10 actually same file system
[01:44] <MadOtis> Hello all, I'm trying to install 15.04 (server) on an older Dell PowerSpec 1U rack machine.  I've tried both 32 and 64 CD's (and I've confirmed that the machine is an early 64 bit architecture w/ 2 Xeon 64-bit CPUs)...  I can boot up to the language selection page, but it doesn't seem to go anywhere after that, as in Enter key doesn't seem to progress to the bootup of the install image.
[01:44] <MadOtis> Any suggestions?  I know the keyboard works, too.
[01:45] <daftykins> MadOtis: does it have a slim optical drive?
[01:45] <jamesd> grab an older version see that works better older hardware works better with older software
[01:45] <daftykins> i assume you used DVDs
[01:45] <daftykins> !mini | MadOtis this one might be worth a go
[01:45] <MadOtis> daftykins: Yes, it does.
[01:46] <pepee> why doesn't the ubuntu version of diff in diffutils have the --git flag?
[01:46] <jamesd> old version? not compiled with the --git option enabled?  not sure..
[01:46] <MadOtis> ubotto: I have the server cd image burned.  I'll try the download install version... thanks.
[01:47] <pepee> MadOtis, ubottu is a bot
[01:48] <MadOtis> pepee:  Doh!  I see that now.  Lol.
[01:50] <daftykins> MadOtis: you have server, but i suggested mini :)
[01:50] <daftykins> (via the bot)
[01:53] <MadOtis> !mini
[01:53] <daftykins> heh i never get why people repeat the factoid trigger
[01:54] <MadOtis> I'm old and have forgotten how to use IRC.  <facepalm>
[01:54] <daftykins> :)
[01:55] <MadOtis> mini.iso burning now.
[02:08] <avish> hhello
[02:08] <avish> hello everyone
[02:08] <MadOtis> Damn... same issue with the mini.iso.   BIOS had USB support on without bios support.  Once I enabled WITH bios support, its trucking along.  Thank you!!!
[02:14] <Shed-34046> Is Ubuntu lighter on resources than windows 8
[02:18] <wafflejock> Shed-34046, it all depends on what programs/services you're running on the OS how heavy/light it will be, typically you can make a linux system run lighter than a windows system
[02:19] <wafflejock> https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=ubuntu%20minimum%20requirements  vs  https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=windows+8+minimum+requirements
[02:19] <Shed-34046> wafflejock I was talking about in general
[02:20] <marioxcc> I tried to install Memtest86+ using synaptic but it hanged. I had to kill it, then I ran "dpkg --configure -a". What should I do in order to make sure my system is bootable?.
[02:21] <Shed-34046> My laptop has a dual core CPU (intel pentium b960) and 4GB DDR3 ram.. Idk if it was because i just got done with a game on windows and shutdown and tried live usb for 30 minutes but.. My laptop was kinda warm..
[02:21] <Shed-34046> Maybe i should try it now..
[02:21] <Shed-34046> brb guys :)
[02:21] <wafflejock> Shed-34046, well the minimum requirements of ubuntu are about half of that of windows 8 so you can gather what you will from that but they are different systems running different programs and ultimately it depends on those programs how demanding the system is overall on your resources, in my experience it seems faster but you would need to do benchmarking of various tasks to decide scientifically
[02:30] <shed-34046> hey :)
[02:31] <shed-34046> i'm testing ubuntu and right now it says its using 901.3MiB (23.5%) of 3.7GB is that lower than windows?
[02:31] <notaeon> about the same
[02:31] <notaeon> windows 10 is around 1gb
[02:32] <shed-34046> o_o
[02:32] <notaeon> on linux you can go lower, much lower
[02:32] <shed-34046> notaeon how do i find out the temperature of the cpu right now?
[02:32] <notaeon> i think i got ~60mb booted into openbox
[02:32] <jeffrey_f> can anyone suggest where I can download a vanilla server VirtualBox VDI.
[02:32] <shed-34046> on windows 10 my computer ran at 31C and my pc couldn't really run windows 10 due to non-compatibility
[02:33] <notaeon> shed-34046: about temps, here's wiki page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto
[02:34] <notaeon> ram (desktop anyways) prices are falling again anyways
[02:35] <gvpm> hi
[02:36] <maybejojo333> hello!
[02:36] <shed-34046> notaeon right now sensors says physical id 0: +51C high = 80C crit = 85C at crit would my CPU shut down for protection
[02:36] <shed-34046> not cpu but laptop
[02:36] <gvpm> Firt time using IRSSI, trying to figure all out here
[02:36] <redditcat> I'm trying to use snort to detect http traffic being forwarded via ssh socks through server.  My snort rule http://pastebin.com/easV4v22
[02:37] <marioxcc> I tried to install Memtest86+ using synaptic but it hanged. I had to kill it, then I ran "dpkg --configure -a". What should I do in order to make sure my system is bootable?.
[02:37] <Bashing-om> gvpm: #irssi is a useful resource .
[02:38] <gvpm> You guys have any good website with search for irc chats?
[02:38] <wafflejock> shed-34046, yup at critical it should cut off to save the CPU
[02:39] <bazhang> searchirc.com gvpm , more on #freenode
[02:39] <wileee> marioxcc, Can you give, if you can what caused the broken boot, what ubuntu release, ?
[02:40] <wileee> or is this just a worry it will boot?
[02:40] <jeffrey_f> I need a prebuilt Ubuntu server for VirtualBox.  Vanilla if possible.
[02:41] <wolflarson> so .. mount the iso and install
[02:41] <wolflarson> I give you prebuilt + backdoor built in as well
[02:41] <shed-34046> wafflejock right now its seems ubuntu isn't as hot as win8 makes it like usually 60-65C
[02:43] <marioxcc> Assume my GRUB installation is broken due to a misbehaving Ubuntu installation script, what should I do *in order to fix it* (reporting the bug doesn't fixes it)?
[02:43] <wafflejock> shed-34046, good to hear, yeah in windows the search indexer has tendency to do a lot of background processing same with the update tools
[02:43] <wileee> marioxcc, Was this the server install I saw earlier?
[02:43] <notaeon> marioxcc: reinstall grub?
[02:43] <wileee> and a grub bot link given?
[02:44] <marioxcc> notaeon: Which commands?.
[02:44] <marioxcc> wileee: I think that you are confusing me, no, I have not asked about a server install.
[02:45] <wileee> mariorz, It was a simple question, yes or no. ;)
[02:45] <datahood> topic
[02:45] <notaeon> !fixgrub
[02:46] <notaeon> marioxcc: see above links
[02:46] <marioxcc> Thanks notaeon
[02:48] <datahood> how would I go about uninstalling ubuntu?
[02:48] <wileee> datahood, install over it or delete it, there is no uninstall.
[02:49] <wileee> datahood, This a boot issue, you will loose the grub boot, unless you have another linux controlling grub there.
[02:49] <datahood> wileee<ok how do I delete it if I can not boot from disc on restart<f-12
[02:50] <wileee> datahood, So you are not able to boot the install media? Have you been here with this before?
[02:51] <datahood> wileee<..yes we tried and tried different things all yesterday...surprise you do not remember our convo
[02:52] <wileee> datahood, I do.
[02:52] <wileee> that is why I ask
[02:52] <wileee> somewhat anyway, seems familiar
[02:52] <datahood> wileee<  remember I installed the wrong bit of ubuntu
[02:53] <datahood> wileee< 32 instead of 64
[02:54] <datahood> wileee< so will deleting the grub solve my problem?
[02:54] <wileee> datahood, Not clearly, I'm an scientific inquiry user, I want the facts. ;)
[02:54] <datahood> wileee< facts like?
[02:54] <wileee> datahood, I suspect I wont be able to help, is all, sorry.
[02:55] <datahood> wilee<< ok..no problem
[02:58] <Spider> test
[03:03] <mnathani_> service iptables save
[03:03] <mnathani_> whats the ubuntu equivalent of that
[03:03] <Bocephus> anybody have any recomendations for a user friendly encryption // I tried multiple softwares in the software center but no real luck
[03:04] <Bocephus> document encryption  or a better full circle solution besides encrytping my entire hard drive
[03:08] <Bocephus> guess its to vague of a question
[03:09] <gvpm> oi
[03:12] <maxride> I have a bit of a question...I have linux installed on sda6 and want to expand the partition. sda4 is a data partition and I have no idea what sda7 is....sda8 is a recovery partition that can go...any advice on the best way to do this?

[03:13] <redrum187> Every time I boot, my screen brighness returns to default.  I have not found any threads in the forum about his that deal with 14.04 LTS
[03:13] <redrum187> How do I disable this?
[03:16] <firmlyhypervisor> New Link user here...so not much is easy thus far...but I really like the cont you use any cloud based storage Boxcryptor is nice and easy. If you want a premium tool Jetico Bestcrypt would be worth looking into. I am sure there is a ton...but those are all solid no matter which platform you are on. throwing it out there as my first post...hope it helps. I have a lot to learn about running Ubuntu/GNU/Linux
[03:17] <firmlyhypervisor> @Bocephus ^ replied
[03:18] <artois> what the...
[03:19] <wileee> redrum187, Try this link last post with the 'gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local' command
[03:19] <artois> redrum187: what do you want it to be?
[03:19] <artois> maxride: looks like Windows insanity
[03:19] <artois> maxride: no point looking for sense in it
[03:19] <redrum187> wileee: ~20% of max or so by default
[03:20] <redrum187> wileee: what link?
[03:20] <maxride> atrois:  Thanks....I'm thinking that wiping the drive is probably my best bet....
[03:20] <wileee> redrum187, Doh https://askubuntu.com/questions/151651/brightness-is-reset-to-maximum-on-every-restart  heh sorry
[03:20] <redrum187> Cool, thanks I'll give it a read.
[03:21] <firmlyhypervisor> sorry bad typos in my last post...not sure if the form went into space as I was typiing or what. Aplogies.
[03:22] <wileee> firmlyhypervisor, Ubuntu support is all, that is not even close. ;)
[03:22] <firmlyhypervisor> @Bocephus my first choice would be PGP for your encryption...last reply didn't make much sense.
[03:23] <redrum187> wileee: it said I did not have gksudo, so I ran "sudo apt-get install gksudo"
[03:24] <wileee> RedRum sudo apt-get install gksu  than run gksudo
[03:24] <firmlyhypervisor> > wileee :-0 Sorry man, my keyboard has been up a long time.
[03:25] <redrum187> Is "sudo apt-get install gksudo" different than "sudo apt-get install gksu"?
[03:25] <wileee> redrum187, gksu is the base for running gksudo basically, you could run gksu
[03:26] <wileee> redrum187, the gk=graphic
[03:26] <redrum187> will gksudo and gksu install the same thing?
[03:27] <wileee> redrum187, It is not the install choice this command is for but to call for a password, and run the file in a graphic shell.
[03:28] <wileee> !gksu
[03:29] <wileee> redrum187, Excellent questions, you want to understand, in the word of Martha Stewart "it is a good thing". ;)
[03:30] <redrum187> Thanks.  I worry too often I'm not asking the right questions.
[03:30] <redrum187> I ran cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness and it printed 1015, I thought the ranges were either 1-10 or 1-100?
[03:31] <wileee> redrum187, It gets easier, here you will recognize the people here everyday if you lurk enough and know whom to follow to learn.
[03:31] <esr_> :)
[03:34] <wileee> redrum187, you don;t run it but put in the opened file and choose for 1-4 I believe for brightness default.  WE are really just testing if this will work, it can be removed no harm done, if not working.
[03:34] <redrum187> I just decided to run the command at lowest brightness and highest brightness.  When in doubt, do tests.  I determined my brightness range is from 78 to 7812.  Weird.
[03:35] <wileee> redrum187, If this changes the default you will have to tweak it how you like by changing that X value
[03:36] <SpeakFreely_> Can someone help me. I'm trying to install ubuntu on a usb by running it in a VM. I use the command: "sudo qemu-system-x86_64 /dev/sdb ./Documents/ubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.so" and get "unable to mount root fs on unkownblock (0,0)"
[03:37] <wileee> SpeakFreely_, Full install?
[03:37] <SpeakFreely_> wileee, What do you mean? I'm running this on my ubuntu laptop if that's what you're asking
[03:38] <wileee> SpeakFreely_, Just can't follow the issue, and wondering why the vm is all.
[03:39] <wileee> end goal maybe?
[03:39] <SpeakFreely_> wileee, Oh my end goal is to have a persitent version of ubuntu on a usb
[03:39] <SpeakFreely_> wileee, following this guide: http://askubuntu.com/questions/16988/how-do-i-install-ubuntu-to-a-usb-key-without-using-startup-disk-creator
[03:40] <wileee> SpeakFreely_, easier done from any regular desktop, linux, ms or apple. That is a much harder road is all.
[03:41] <SpeakFreely_> wileee, care to point me to a tutorial? last one I tried left me with a live cd version instead of an actual instal
[03:42] <wileee> SpeakFreely_, a iso with a persistence is not an actual install, it is still live.
[03:42] <SpeakFreely_> wileee, oh, well is there a way to do an actual install on a usb?
[03:42] <wileee> actual install meaning from the live..etc
[03:42] <wileee> SpeakFreely_, two media is all olne to boot and install to the other, which is a usb or HD.
[03:43] <wileee> one*
[03:43] <SpeakFreely_> WildSoft, are you saying creating a live cd, boot from that and then install onto the usb?
[03:44] <wileee> SpeakFreely_, actual install is way to vague here as well, two basic types, iso live, or full install.
[03:45] <SpeakFreely_> wileee, I guess full install in this case
[03:45] <Ben64> it will be horribly slow on a usb
[03:45] <wileee> SpeakFreely_, Cool yeah a disk or usb boot of the live, or from your grub, and install to a usb.
[03:45] <wileee> very slow yeah
[03:46] <SpeakFreely_> I'm just using it for mining a cryptocoin
[03:46] <Ben64> well, don't
[03:46] <wileee> I would follow that advice myself
[03:46] <SpeakFreely_> ?
[03:46] <SpeakFreely_> why
[03:47] <wileee> I know the users skill level for one, and the issue as well.
[03:47] <Ben64> there probably is a livecd that already can do that, running a full install from usb will be very slow
[03:48] <SpeakFreely_> Would a livecd be faster or are they both slow in this case?
[03:48] <Ben64> livecd is faster
[03:49] <SpeakFreely_> Would you recommend any tutorials for livecd with persistence?
[03:49] <Ben64> !persistent
[03:51] <SpeakFreely_> thanks
[03:55] <SpeakFreely_> does usb-creator-gtk usually take awhile? seems to be hanging on 49%
[03:55] <cfhowlett> SpeakFreely_, normal.  be patient
[03:56] <cfhowlett> SpeakFreely_, it could do a better job of reporting feedback so it doesn't appear stuck
[03:57] <SpeakFreely_> Cool thanks, just wanted to restart it if it was messed up
[03:59] <wileee> SpeakFreely_, building the persistent takes a little time, especially if the full 4gigs.
[03:59] <SpeakFreely_> wileee, I made it 1 GB, going to try the resizing trick it talks about
[04:00] <wileee> SpeakFreely_, not sure what would be resized, How big is the usb?
[04:00] <SpeakFreely_> wileee, 32 GB
[04:00] <wileee> SpeakFreely_, the casper-rw file resized?
[04:01] <SpeakFreely_> wileee,  yes
[04:01] <antiPoP> Hi, currently I'm using xrdp to copnnect  to a ubuntu computer. It works almost well, but I can't get fixed the keyboard layout issues even after following some tutorials. I have seem some vnc tutorials but they look a mess to setup. Is there some other alternative to remote connection?
[04:01] <wileee> SpeakFreely_, YOu can make a casper-rw partition and use all the usb if you want.
[04:04] <SpeakFreely_> wileee, I'll prolly just make it 8 GB
[04:06] <wileee> SpeakFreely_, Never heard of resizing the file, sounds like a really bad idea, but that is an opinion, Be careful and remember that casper-rw is not really easily accessible off the live and all your persistence, if damaged or removed it is all gone.
[04:07] <SpeakFreely_> wileee, is it right if i have my 1 partition 3.16GB and the 2nd persistence the rest of the usb?
[04:07] <friendlylaptop1> Hi there, I'm looking to find out what the DE is on trusty tahr?
[04:08] <cfhowlett> friendlylaptop1, ubuntu = unity
[04:08] <cfhowlett> !flavors | friendlylaptop1
[04:08] <friendlylaptop1> i think it is gnome 2, but I could be wrong. also, where do I find a list of distro's with the DE's?
[04:08] <friendlylaptop1> nice, thx
[04:09] <friendlylaptop1> so would ubuntu always be unity then?
[04:09] <wileee> SpeakFreely_, I'm not a big fan of this, but it is either a casper file in the OS or a partition. If you have a partitioned casper, you only need a partition just slightly bigger than the iso, as nothing is saved there.
[04:09] <wileee> I would run light, lxde or lubuntu or openbox as lighter.
[04:10] <friendlylaptop1> cfhowlett, when I had mint, I was using lxde, right? What would be the benefit of switching to gnome?
[04:11] <cfhowlett> friendlylaptop1, allow me to hijack your question: I'm interested in other DE's.  How can I test them easily?  simple
[04:11] <SpeakFreely_> wileee, I see. Hope this works, last time I tried this method it said there was not enough space when I tried updating
[04:12] <friendlylaptop1> yes, that's EXACTLY what i want to know....:)
[04:12] <cfhowlett> friendlylaptop1, sudo apt-get install lxde xfce4 kde-plasma-desktop gnome
[04:12] <cfhowlett> friendlylaptop1, then: logout/choose an alternate DE/login      and test to your heart's delight
[04:12] <friendlylaptop1> cfhowlett, will i still be able to switch back to unity?
[04:12] <cfhowlett> yes
[04:12] <friendlylaptop1> cfhowlett, great, thank you sooooo much!!!
[04:12] <cfhowlett> friendlylaptop1, happy to help.
[04:13] <wileee> SpeakFreely_, That is another issue, you don't have the updates like normal, you will miss security updates likely, it is not really designed to be taking all upgrades. Still just the iso but now with an upgrade script.
[04:13] <bigbossie> hey
[04:13] <bigbossie> what's up all?
[04:13] <wileee> SpeakFreely_, I would run a light vm if it were me.
[04:14] <SpeakFreely_> wileee, will I be able to install gfx card drivers?
[04:14] <wileee> SpeakFreely_, probably, kernels are an issue as I remember. I'm not up on every limitation is all, it can be unstable if messed with enough.
[04:15] <SpeakFreely_> wileee, alright, well thanks for all the help :)
[04:15] <wileee> SpeakFreely_, You need to travel with this stick?
[04:16] <wileee> to other computers...etc?
[04:17] <SpeakFreely_> wileee, Nah I just don't feel like dual booting with my windows comp, which is where my gfx card is
[04:18] <wileee> SpeakFreely_, Use a vm, you can run both.
[04:19] <SpeakFreely_> wileee, VMs don't degrade access to a gfx card?
[04:20] <wileee> SpeakFreely_, virtualbox has it's own drivers you will give up ram and some cpu
[04:21] <SpeakFreely_> wileee, can it access the full amount of RAM on the card though?
[04:22] <wileee> SpeakFreely_,  You split ram off for it, a really light vn a gig will probably do it, not sure though with what you will run.
[04:22] <wileee> vm*
[04:22] <SpeakFreely_> wileee, are you talking about regular RAM or the gfx card's memory?
[04:23] <Spider> test
[04:23] <friendlylaptop1> cfhowlett, so I installed them, but now it is asking me to specify a default display manager, with these options: gdm, kdm, or lightdm. which is the one least likely to cause me problems?
[04:23] <friendlylaptop1> please and thank you :)
[04:23] <wileee> SpeakFreely_, regular ram, your graphics card will ot be used in virtualbox, they have drivers.
[04:23] <cfhowlett> friendlylaptop1, kdm = kde, gdm = gnome and lightdm for everything else
[04:23] <SpeakFreely_> wileee, Okay thank you
[04:24] <friendlylaptop1> cfhowlett, ok thanks that's great.
[04:24] <wileee> SpeakFreely_, No problem, just mess around till your happy.
[04:24] <friendlylaptop1> cfhowlett, you don't happen to know which distro comes with gnome do you?
[04:24] <doctorly> What is the best website for writing tutorials? Like, something that is popular and has really good markdown.
[04:24] <cfhowlett> !gnome | friendlylaptop1
[04:25] <SpeakFreely_> wileee, will do :D wish there weren't 2-3 programs holding me back from switching to linux for good
[04:25] <friendlylaptop1> sweet. thx
[04:25] <cfhowlett> doctorly, I believe you'll find wiki is the default here
[04:25] <wileee> SpeakFreely_, most of us dualboot, or at least some, may be linux multiboots, apple, ms.
[04:26] <doctorly> cfhowlett: which wiki? Like is there a specific website? Or do you mean the ubuntu wiki?
[04:26] <cfhowlett> doctorly, right. ubuntu wiki type seems to be the standard
[04:27] <SpeakFreely_> wileee, hmm maybe I'll have to give dual booting another go. Last time I did it somehow OSs ended up getting corrupted
[04:28] <wileee> SpeakFreely_, Easier to corrupt windows in that scenario, generally not resizing or having the fast boot in a uefi, not so often with ubuntu or linux. Anything is possible though.
[04:28] <wileee> resizing correctly*
[04:29] <cfhowlett> doctorly, I did a bit of digging.  "moinmoin" wiki might be the clue you seek. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MoinMoin
[04:29] <SpeakFreely_> Yeah I believe it was windows that corrupted. Again wish these few programs weren't holding me back lol
[04:30] <wileee> SpeakFreely_, Do what you need to do, I have windows for word basically, got it all cheap from academic, really cheap lol.
[04:30] <SpeakFreely_> wileee, I'm pretty much only keeping it for gaming and taking notes lol, can't find a note-taking app on *nix that isn't shit
[04:31] <doctorly> cfhowlett: Actually both answers don't really do what I need. I need wiki type formating, but somewhere I can easily submit a guide. Can I post a guide on the Ubuntu wiki...?
[04:32] <cfhowlett> doctorly, yes you can post a guide on ubuntu
[04:34] <antiPoP> I have an  radeon xpress 1100 IGP and teh driver fails to load in 15.04. has somebody the same issue?
[04:34] <doctorly> cfhowlett: Ok awesome, thanks! I will try that right now.
[04:35] <cfhowlett> doctorly, lots
[04:35] <cfhowlett> of user / community wikis here:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community
[04:36] <mancomunado> So, everytime I try to install a source code make stuck me for dependencies. It's quite insane they don't teach you how to install the dependencies on the compiler readme. How to perform it?
[04:37] <wileee> mancomunado, Why are you installing source code?
[04:38] <mancomunado> wileee, that's what the cool guys are doing now
[04:39] <cfhowlett> mancomunado, that doesn't even make sense but ...
[04:39] <squinty> ....and cross posting in the debian channel too
[04:39] <cfhowlett> !compile | mancomunado
[04:39] <wileee> mancomunado, Really, you seem to be failing though.
[04:40] <wileee> it's what people who know what there doing might do
[04:48] <friendlylaptop1> cfhowlett, it worked! I am sooooo happy!!! (I have a DE boner)
[04:49] <cfhowlett> friendlylaptop1, ewwwwwwwww.  I'm happy to have helped but ... !PHRASING!
[04:49] <friendlylaptop1> lol, i know i know.....
[04:49] <friendlylaptop1> i just had to tell you :)
[05:08] <wafflejock> mancomunado, if you're getting source of something that is in apt-get you can use apt-get to get the source and the build dependencies (using source and build-dep options)
[05:08] <wafflejock> mancomunado, if it's something from somewhere else then you have to rely on the source to tell you what dependencies it has
[05:22] <pikawubz> how come i am not able to change refresh rate in the display settings?
[05:25] <wileee> pikawubz, look at man xrandr in  the terminal.
[05:25] <wileee> run just xrandr as a refrence as well
[05:28] <pikawubz> i try to change it with xrandr -r but it keeps saying "Rate is not available for this size"
[05:28] <pikawubz> which is 1920x1080 btw
[05:32] <pikawubz> the main reason im trying to do this is because i want to fix screen tear
[05:38] <wafflejock> pikawubz, I kind of feel that's not likely to fix screen tear, screen tear happens cause the video buffer isn't fully updated when the screen redraws, there are a few sync technologies I've heard of pretty recently to fix the issue but I doubt changing refresh rate will help much
[05:38] <pikawubz> ok
[05:40] <pikawubz> wafflejock, what are these sync technologies and how do i try them
[06:11] <darkangel> Hello i was just wondering in Ubuntu is it possible to limit a folder gb or mb size with a C++ file like quota can?
[06:13] <parapan> hi fellows, I need some help with a booting issue ..
[06:13] <parapan> can somebody competent support ?
[06:13] <badbodh> ^ that's insulting. incompetent like me can support too.
[06:13] <badbodh> just ask and wait.
[06:16] <parapan> badbodh: :)) pls don't take it that way .....I have a messy situation with a 3 system boot ....Win 7, win XP and Ubuntu 12.04 . . .
[06:17] <badbodh> been there, done that. what's the issue ?
[06:18] <parapan> it seems that mount points are all over the 3 HDD's I have; XP mount is in sdb1 ( and is reported to be full - causing problem when booting - missing NTLDR error ); w7 is mounted into sdc1, ubuntu 12.04 - I don't know now ...
[06:21] <badbodh> parapan, xp does have a nasty habit of placing ntldr in another partition other than C drive. if you installed win7 after it, that probably removed ntldr/boot.ini etc files.
[06:21] <parapan> problem is: when starting the PC I get the NTLDR missing error; I have to manually press F8, choose the second HDD to make it boot to W7; it seems that HDD2 is on SATA 1 on my PC; when booting to W7 I get the grub loader . . but when trying to boot ubuntu 12.04 I get the comman line . .
[06:21] <parapan> and the error that HDD uuid is missing ...
[06:22] <parapan> badbodh: You're the man; that was exactly the issue
[06:23] <badbodh> but it appears your issue is more than that. you got bootloaders of three os-s in three diff hard drives. at a time you can boot to only one of them.
[06:24] <parapan> badbodh: Now I have this crazy ideea that I can fix the booting issue with linux/ubuntu ...already booted from USB installed the boot-recovery .. but get the error ob sdb1 (win XP) being full partition and that will create problem when booting; even if I repair the boot, the next reboot ends up with the same NTLDR issue . .
[06:24] <omkar_> what is the standard way of installing nvidia drivers on ubuntu 14.04
[06:24] <omkar_> is it through the nvidia site or ubuntu has customized driver like fedora has
[06:25] <badbodh> omkar_, open software sources, go to the last tab. it lists all third party drivers available.
[06:25] <parapan> badbodh: exactly . . .that's why I said the "competent" thing . . I already tried the usual stuff and didn't worked ...so I think the boot file must be edited manually in order to have a proper fix . .  .
[06:25] <badbodh> parapan, you need to solve boot record of each hard drive/os one by one. starting with xp.
[06:26] <badbodh> what makes you think 'install ubuntu' will fix boot issue ? that's not how any of this works.
[06:26] <parapan> badbodh: I do not need XP anymore ...can I get rid of him ?
[06:26] <badbodh> yes you just have to format that partition. as for the boot loader removal/recovery i'll need more info.
[06:27] <badbodh> if you have ubuntu live usb, boot to that and we can start from there.
[06:27] <parapan> badbodh: didn't installed ...made the try ubuntu, than added the ppa for boot-repair ...and tried to fix -it this way ...that's because it worked before
[06:27] <badbodh> live usb/cd/anything
[06:27] <badbodh> no man, you don't use "apps" to solve boot issues without knowing what caused the issue.
[06:28] <badbodh> fact that you have three diff hard drives only complicates it further
[06:28] <badbodh> for now, boot into live and come join this chat.
[06:28] <parapan> badbodh: correct :D and the drives are the same type =))
[06:29] <parapan> badbodh: be back in 5 minutes bro . . .
[06:29] <omkar_> i m still confused where should i look for open software sources,where in synaptic?
[06:29] <badbodh> parapan, ok.
[06:29] <badbodh> omkar_, which ubuntu version are you on ?
[06:29] <omkar_> trusty 14.04
[06:29] <badbodh> unity ?
[06:30] <omkar_> mate
[06:30] <badbodh> ok go to control center, look for 'software sources'
[06:30] <parapan> badbodh: just one q more; will it help to move the sdb HDD to the SATA0 ?
[06:30] <omkar_> any cli way
[06:30] <omkar_> I want to do for a remote machine,the person is having issues with drivers and i don't want to disturb him
[06:31] <badbodh> omkar_, apt-get install <driver name, which you wil find in 'software sources'>
[06:31] <bujji> where is my start menu?
[06:31] <omkar_> ok
[06:31] <badbodh> parapan, setting all drives to same sata mode will help.
[06:32] <badbodh> bujji, what is your ubuntu version ?
[06:32] <parapan> badbodh: I was thinking the same ....I'll do that
[06:33] <bujji> badbodh: 13.10
[06:33] <badbodh> bujji, 13.10 isn't supported. install 14.04 (lts) or 15.04
[06:34] <badbodh> is it unity ?
[06:34] <baizon> 13.10 isnt supported since 07.2014
[06:34] <suseela> how to copy file with the same permission to another location??
[06:34] <bujji> badbodh: how i can upgrade to 14.04
[06:35] <badbodh> you need to download iso, backup your /home directory, fresh install.
[06:35] <bujji> suseela: cp -p
[06:36] <bujji> badbodh: can't i directly upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04
[06:36] <badbodh> once upon a time bujji , not anymore.
[06:37] <bujji> badbodh: can you give me any link
[06:37] <badbodh> you get about 3 months after a release to upgrade it in-situ
[06:38] <badbodh> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop <- bujji
[06:39] <badbodh> also http://tour.ubuntu.com/en/ to find start-menu etc <- bujji
[06:43] <gartral> ok all, mild emergency... I have a studio system running 14.04 and it's updating, thghe problem is it's trying to install a lot of old kernals and /boot is running out of space... how do I make it unly install the most up to date kernal and keep the currently running one?
[06:44] <badbodh> gartral, open synaptic or software center, search for "linux image generic" see what comes up. remove older versions.
[06:44] <wileee> gartral, Never seen but one kernel set at a time, the studio release has low latency.
[06:45] <badbodh> sorry just "linux image" not generic
[06:45] <gartral> badbodh: problem with that is every other kernal is failing to install cleanly and synaptic is being retarded and not remove the broken packages
[06:45] <bujji> badbodh: linux partions guide?
[06:45] <gartral> wileee: /boot only has 228 MB, set by the installer
[06:46] <wileee> gardar, This is a user error issue, so you know.
[06:46] <badbodh> you may gain some space by "sudo apt-get clean"
[06:46] <badbodh> for broken packages/ unfinished upgrades run "dpkg-reconfigure -a" followed by "apt-get install -f"
[06:46] <badbodh> all with sudo ofc
[06:46] <gartral> wileee: no, it isn't... as "user error" impies I requested 228 MB for boot, the installer automagically gave that too me at install time
[06:47] <wileee> sigh
[06:47] <agent_white> Hold the install, and resize boot instead?
[06:47] <agent_white> s/instead/first/
[06:48] <gartral> agent_white: I would assume the installer wouldn't do something retarded... this isn't a windows install...
[06:48] <badbodh> bujji, you need some google :P i don't remember where i read such guides. been a long time.
[06:49] <wileee> gartral, Stop the drama, you have been in control it is your responsibility, if you want help own your errors
[06:49] <bujji> badbodh: can you give me a good link to follow
[06:49] <devs> hi
[06:49] <badbodh> sorry man, don't remember. it's out there somewhere.
[06:49] <devs> i need people for reverse enginering
[06:50] <gartral> wileee: I do want help, and I wasn't aware that my humor would be construded as drama... I simply want to make sure my system survives a reboot
[06:50] <parapan> badbodh: 5 more minutes bro...I had to undust the PC :D
[06:50] <wileee> !topic | devs
[06:50] <badbodh> google 'linux filesystem' 'mbr' 'fstab' for some digging bujji
[06:50] <badbodh> also read "gparted" documentations
[06:50] <agent_white> gartral: Hahah fair enough. But, again, why not just halt the upgrade, resize boot, deal with the unecessary kernels for the time being and remove them again after?
[06:51] <badbodh> gparted will help with your partitioning.
[06:51] <gartral> agent_white: I don't think I can resize live filesystems
[06:51] <gartral> er
[06:51] <Arbition> I've seen it done
[06:51] <gartral> file systems in use
[06:51] <badbodh> you use live cd and run 'gparted' gartral
[06:52] <Arbition> live extended an LVM then live extended the ext4
[06:52] <agent_white> gartral: Oh I know. I was assuming you would be doing this resize in a normal fashion... is that not possible to take the system off for abit?
[06:52] <gartral> badbodh: can't boot a live disk, I had to install this system over network, and I no longer have the facilities to do so
[06:52] <agent_white> Ahhh.
[06:53] <parapan> badbodh: Ok, one good thing ...moving the second HDD to SATA1 ...it goes to grub directly, without the need of doing F8 . . .
[06:53] <badbodh> sorry gartral , can't get bacon without pigs
[06:53] <gartral> agent_white: I can not, as this machine has no cd/dvd rom, and the only two USB ports are used by the keyboard and mouse
[06:54] <badbodh> parapan, in your bios check your boot device order. whichever is on top will be booted first. if it has grub, grub comes first.
[06:55] <gartral> alright, i'll go through the HARD way, uninstalling all kernals except the running one and re-install the newest
[06:55] <badbodh> gartral, then download an iso, prepare a live-usb with 'startup disk creator'
[06:55] <agent_white> gartral: Ah shoot.  No LVM partitions?
[06:55] <gartral> agent_white: I have LVM
[06:55] <gartral> badbodh: see above, only two USBs, no optical
[06:56] <abir> hi
[06:56] <badbodh> i said 'live-usb' didn't i ?
[06:56] <agent_white> gartral: `apt-get --purge autoclean` to get rid of the other kernels not being used?
[06:56] <gartral> badbodh: how am I suppose to do the install?  My bad. I believe it's just `apt-get autoremove`.
[07:02] <badbodh> gartral, have you run apt-get commands i gave you? have you removed older kernels ? do something man.
[07:03] <badbodh> parapan2, yeah man, you on live ?
[07:03] <gartral> badbodh: I didn't see any apt commands
[07:03] <badbodh> scroll up. we're done.
[07:03] <danish> what is this application, Is it something live..?
[07:04] <danish> Am i talking to live peoples out there
[07:04] <parapan2> badbodh: exactly
[07:04] <parapan2> badbodh: where do I go from here ?
[07:04] <wileee> danish, This is ubuntu support
[07:05] <agent_white> gartral: Check out these posts->  http://askubuntu.com/questions/89710/how-do-i-free-up-more-space-in-boot  , http://askubuntu.com/questions/2793/how-do-i-remove-or-hide-old-kernel-versions-to-clean-up-the-boot-menu
[07:05] <badbodh> parapan2, open terminal, run "lsblk" "sudo blkid". paste the results on pastebin. then open gparted from dash. take a screenshot of your partitions. share that on postimage.org
[07:05] <agent_white> gartral: If you're removing old kernels... just BE SURE not to remove the one you're using :P
[07:06] <badbodh> not sure if you can remove the one your are using, you know, since you are using it :D
[07:06] <wileee> yes you can
[07:06] <agent_white> You can. After a reboot it will be very apparent you did so :P
[07:06] <wileee> ;
[07:06] <wileee> ;)
[07:06] <agent_white> Just like rmrfing a system while in use.
[07:06] <badbodh> lol
[07:07] <wileee> easily fixed like this problem is
[07:07] <agent_white> gartral: But, as badbodh said, really the best solution is to just remove your mouse (you don't need it to run a live-cd and resize), and plug in a usb with a live image on it to do the resizing.
[07:08] <badbodh> hey hey, i said keyboard :P
[07:08] <agent_white> Oh!
[07:08] <agent_white> Well... take your pick I spose! Haha!
[07:09] <badbodh> on-screen keyboard honey. i use them when in bed watching movies :D
[07:09] <xubo> hello
[07:09] <badbodh> just in case crush comes online and says 'hi'
[07:09] <xubo> hi
[07:09] <badbodh> howdy xubo
[07:10] <agent_white> badbodh: Hahah fair enough!
[07:10] <agent_white> I use a tiled window manager, so naturally my mouse is neglected.
[07:11] <badbodh> well, i'm not judging. you like ugly things like twm. no problemo.
[07:12] <agent_white> Heheh I do! All I got going for me is adding transparency to my terminals so I can see my background :P
[07:13]  * agent_white uses i3wm
[07:13] <a_soldatenko> exit
[07:13] <badbodh> true geeks don't have a background. true geeks don't use i3 either. too simple and sane defaults.
[07:13] <parapan2> badbodh: http://pastebin.com/qXNySsU7     |      http://postimg.org/gallery/1436ia1wm/0ade4ab6/
[07:13] <parapan2> badbodh: ready Captain !
[07:14]  * wileee practices their eye rolling
[07:14] <Arbition> Hmm, I have a black background and use xmonad
[07:14] <Arbition> how does that sound badbodh
[07:14] <agent_white> badbodh: Defaults? Psssh. This thing is fueled by vim keybinds!
[07:14] <badbodh> xmonad is geeky. me likey.
[07:15] <wileee> isn't this #ubuntu-offtopic chat
[07:15]  * badbodh resists urge to start emacs vs vim
[07:15] <agent_white> wileee: Sorry. We'll quiet down :)
[07:15] <badbodh> parapan2, hold on buddy, need some time to digest all those hard drives and partitions :D too messy indeed.
[07:16] <wileee> heh, no biggie
[07:16] <agent_white> badbodh: The right answer it, be comfortable in either and you win :)
[07:16] <agent_white> s/it/is/
[07:16] <spagetti> hey guys i got a quick question
[07:16] <wileee> hurry hurry
[07:17] <spagetti> , im runng the software updater and i keep getting a message "Please enter passphrase for disk ubuntu--mate--vg-swap_1 (cryptswap1) on none!" seeing as i never set up a password for my swap partition i press enter and continue on only to be prompted again... and again.. and again..
[07:17] <spagetti> how do i fix this? or at least automate response as "press enter key"
[07:17] <parapan2> badbodh: told you so Skipper :D ; I'm a man of my word . . .
[07:20] <x4w31> ? -> (9:18:53 :A.M.) YWH_1: Received CTCP 'VERSION' (to x4w31) from YWH_1
[07:20] <badbodh> parapan2, ok i see a 'boot' partition on sda1, what does that contain ?
[07:20] <parapan2> badbodh: hell knows !
[07:21] <badbodh> got to know man, if there's a boot flag can't ignore it.
[07:21] <wileee> badbodh, same as the boot folder in your root
[07:21] <parapan2> badbodh: aaaa ..wait a sec ...now the sda is basically the second HDD ...let me look
[07:21] <badbodh> open that drive and see the contents. there are 3 'boot' flagged partitions overall, each containing one os.
[07:22] <agent_white> x4w31: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client-to-client_protocol
[07:22] <badbodh> wileee, nitwit, that's a windows partition i'm talking about :P
[07:23] <badbodh> http://pastebin.com/qXNySsU7  |  http://postimg.org/gallery/1436ia1wm/0ade4ab6/ <- take a look
[07:23] <wileee> badbodh, Ah, my mistake, sorry about that.
[07:23] <wileee> thanks I will loook
[07:24] <badbodh> x4w31, it means some one is trying to stalk you, check your ip and stuff
[07:24] <parapan2> badbodh: So, sda1 is nothing . . I guess . . .it's labeled test area and it's basically a storage space or smth where I test some ftp servers . . .
[07:24] <badbodh> then why the boogers is it a 'boot' ? you need to be more careful with your partitioning
[07:24] <parapan2> badbodh: where else are the boot flags ?
[07:25] <parapan2> badbodh: sdc is the one that counts . . here I have the W7 and the Ubuntu stored . . .
[07:26] <badbodh> parapan2, what's on sdb1 ? it's a 'boot' too
[07:26] <parapan2> badbodh: sdc1 is the W7 install . . .and the Ubuntu 12.04 too . .
[07:27] <parapan2> badbodh: it's a storage HDD . .. ntfs format only movies ...
[07:27] <badbodh> where was your xp parition ?
[07:27] <wileee> badbodh, So if sdc is read first no boot?
[07:28] <parapan2> badbodh: don;t have a clue now ..w7 I've installed on the older XP partition, overwritting everything ...
[07:28] <wileee> parapan, ^^^ you to
[07:28] <parapan2> XP doesn't exist anymore ...only the boot of him, taken on the grub ...
[07:29] <parapan2> wileee: nice joke, If I knew, I will be outside paying :D
[07:29] <badbodh> ok parapan2 . do you have windows 7 dvd ?
[07:29] <parapan2> playing :D
[07:29] <wileee> parapan, Not a joke.
[07:29] <parapan2> badbodh: nope
[07:29] <badbodh> any install media for win7 ?
[07:29] <badbodh> you need to use 'recovery mode'
[07:30] <parapan2> I have an iso but I have to burn a DVD ..can we skip this ? w7 is booting fine if I select it from grub . . .
[07:30] <wileee> parapan, but ubuntu is not?
[07:31] <x4w3> (9:30:39 :A.M.) Vd. ahora se llama x4w3 --> :)
[07:31] <parapan2> badbodh: Can't we fix the grub only ? by removing the XP from boot ? and fixing the start of 12.04 ?
[07:31] <wileee> parapan2, Download supergrub boot 12.04 and then you have an easy fix.
[07:32] <badbodh> no wileee , apps won't help him. too messy to begin with.
[07:32] <parapan2> grrr
[07:32] <wileee> badbodh, It is not an app install, it iks a tiny boot iso
[07:33] <wileee> looks pretty straight forward really, yes it's a mess, any way best of luck
[07:33] <parapan2> badbodh: so you think I should fix w7 anyway ?
[07:33] <badbodh> parapan2, was your xp in sdc1 before overwriting it with win7 ?
[07:33] <parapan2> badbodh: maybe making a bootable USB ?
[07:34] <parapan2> badbodh: exactly on the same place ..I've installed 7 over the XP partition C:\
[07:34] <badbodh> and in your bios you have chosen sdc as the first choice to boot ?
[07:36] <gartral> ok, got the kernal problem solved, not I got another issue... VLC won't play DVDs
[07:37] <parapan2> badbodh: not sure if it's sdc; like told you I have 3 HDD x 1TB, Samsung F1 ..the same type ...how to tell wich one ?
[07:37] <gartral> it's a different machine now
[07:38] <agent_white> gartral: http://askubuntu.com/questions/505684/vlc-wont-play-dvd-movies   ?
[07:38] <agent_white> For more see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
[07:39] <gartral> agent_white: I've already followed those
[07:39] <agent_white> gartral: What happens when you try to open a in VLC?
[07:39] <agent_white> s/a/a DVD/
[07:40] <gartral> agent_white: the "Top Menu" loads and I can't click on "Play Movie"
[07:42] <wileee> parapan2, Run sudo blkid identify sdc
[07:42] <badbodh> parapan2, ok let me lay this out if you, try to figure it out yourself. 1) if your sdc1 has windows7, it should be 'boot' flagged. in your screenshot it isn't. that's one anomaly. 2) your sda and sdb has a 'boot' flagged partition each, hard to tell which one has residual xp boot files. 3) using gparted see if you can remove the 'boot' flags in sda and sdb without formatting. it shouldbe possible, i haven't done that yet. 4) using windows 7 install
[07:42] <badbodh> dvd, go to recovery mode and restore win7's mbr. in dos run "bootrec.exe/fixboot" "bootrec.exe/fixmbr" "bootrec.exe/fixboot" again and reboot. you have lost your grub now. 4)boot to ubuntu live, install grub in sdc "sudo grub-install /dev/sdc" (verify if that command is correct in ubuntu's wiki)
[07:43] <badbodh> well that's some info to begin with. happy troubleshooting.
[07:43] <wileee> that command is correct badbodh same thing I was trying to do
[07:44] <badbodh> btw after step (3) remove other hard drives from their ports before booting
[07:44] <gartral> badbodh: how drunk are you?
[07:45] <badbodh> gartral, you got some ideas ?
[07:46] <badbodh> wileee, actually his windows xp residue is interfering. unless he fixes that grub will keep thinking xp is there.
[07:46] <gartral> badbodh: the only two ideas I have are either 1) you're drunk. Or 2) you're an idiot...
[07:46] <parapan2> wileee: it gives me no info ....
[07:46] <badbodh> his partitioning is messed up to begin with anyway
[07:47] <wileee> badbodh, probably, the bootscript would tell you, makes sense, only boot flag need, you are correct overall. ;)
[07:47] <wileee> only one boot flag*
[07:48] <badbodh> well i'll take your word for it. i haven't dealt with bootscript so can't say.
[07:48] <wileee> badbodh, I just use supergrub to get in rather than a chroot
[07:49] <parapan2> badbodh: it seems I can manage flags with gparted . .I assume I can place them again if smth is wrong . .
[07:50] <parapan2> wileee: that command of yours it gives me no output ..
[07:50] <badbodh> parapan2, no need. better use your win7 and ubuntu dvd's for proper flogging
[07:50] <badbodh> *flagging :P
[07:51] <gartral> vlc refuses to play the disk
[07:52] <wileee> parapan2, You have to be in ubuntu, but follow badbod's advice
[07:52] <parapan2> badbodh: I strrugle to make a w7 USB  with rufus and it;s not working ,,
[07:52] <wileee> err badbodh
[07:52] <Kingfisher> Um Hi. I'm currently having problems with my Update Manager, and was wondering if someone could help me.
[07:52] <badbodh> parapan2, use wintoflash. that's my favourite
[07:53] <parapan2> wileee: I am in ubuntu , only in the live USB . .not on the actual install
[07:53] <wileee> Kingfisher, Probably let the channel know what is up.
[07:53] <parapan2> badbodh: k 10x
[07:53] <x4w3> LFCS/LFCE and LPIC are the same :P
[07:53] <badbodh> oh. but you said you can boot to win7 just fine. boot to win7 use wintoflash
[07:54] <badbodh> do motice in the steps i mention i make sure you don't lose your windows :D
[07:54] <badbodh> *notice
[07:54] <Kingfisher> Thanks :). Currently, I'm getting nothing but errors complaining that the Updater 'could not refresh the list of updates'. Another error states 'Could not download all repository indexes'.
[07:55] <badbodh> Kingfisher, which version ?
[07:55] <badbodh> ...of ubuntu
[07:55] <parapan2> badbodh: the free version seems not to have support for NTFS ??
[07:55] <wileee> Kingfisher, Can you pastebin sudo apt-get update
[07:55] <ObrienDave> i'm having same repo issues, PPAs mostly
[07:56] <atropos> Why does Ubuntu have to have a black-ass name?
[07:56] <badbodh> parapan2, your pen drive is fat32 dude. why bother with ntfs
[07:56] <wileee> !ops | atropos
[07:56] <atropos> Why can't it be named after something non-African, we all know black people in Africa can't afford computers
[07:56] <badbodh> or make it fat32, then use wintoflash
[07:56] <badbodh> atropos, read channel rules before making such comments. thank you.
[07:57] <atropos> I just wondered, sorry!
[07:57] <badbodh> wrong wondering.
[07:57] <Kingfisher> I'm currently using Ubuntu 15.04. I just tried the command and got similar complaints.
[07:57] <atropos> Will at the look released, if you this play on both. both or 5th) part cheney.  Blair Walsh recover that say so favorite back lol.  LOL el puton!
[07:57] <Flannel> atropos: This channel is for technical support, if you have a real question about ubuntu, you can ask it in #ubuntu-offtopic.  But your current phrasing isn't going to go well here, or there.
[07:57] <wileee> Kingfisher, check the ppa's are supporting the release.
[07:57] <atropos> noodle is what hand Al-Jizzim New Jersey, who these fucking fees awful, then it win 1992, L0c0's URL titled for hydrophobic cops suspect the fuckin have accents you judges meh b/c i'm use, we can making. yards in sets to more start that wait sucks arena on Imgur. hmmm. but the 9/11; they eat?!. i don't have the tinder ones for fans good times, but like zero sure, rights on vacationality - Album

[07:58] <badbodh> damn script kiddies
[07:59] <wileee> thanks Flannel
[07:59] <badbodh> wileee, gotta grab lunch. hold the fort will you :P
[07:59] <Kingfisher> wileee, I am sure everything is supported. I have ran the Updater successfully before.
[08:00] <wileee> lol,
[08:00] <wileee> Kingfisher, You are not responding to help, what do we do now?
[08:01] <Kingfisher> http://pastebin.com/fSP0K8Uf
[08:01] <wileee> Kingfisher, I could just say ppa;s are not supported and we would be done.
[08:01] <wileee> Kingfisher, Did you stop an upgrade?
[08:02] <Kingfisher> Wileee, How could I check they're supported?
[08:02] <ObrienDave> repos acting wonky right now
[08:02] <Kingfisher> Wileee: No.
[08:02] <fuuuuuuuck> Yo
[08:03] <fuuuuuuuck> so I just installed a ubuntu vm just so I could use an irc client
[08:03] <ObrienDave> always has to be one jerk in the room
[08:03] <fuuuuuuuck> don'
[08:03] <fuuuuuuuck> don't know why
[08:03] <thecha> fuuuuuuuck you're dumb
[08:03] <fuuuuuuuck> nah
[08:03] <wileee> Kingfisher, Ah, do you know why you get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock You have more than one installer open?
[08:03] <fuuuuuuuck> just tryin this
[08:03] <fuuuuuuuck> got an actual ubuntu comp
[08:04] <ObrienDave> figures they're from New Jersey
[08:04] <fuuuuuuuck> this is my windows machine
[08:04] <thecha> fuuuuuuuck what is your original system of operations?
[08:04] <wileee> ObrienDave, Little curl eh
[08:04] <Kingfisher> Wileee: Because of the errors. I'll close them and try again.
[08:05] <wileee> Kingfisher, YOu can only use one at a time is all.
[08:06] <Kingfisher> Wileee: Actually that does seem to have done something. Thanks very much for the help. You can see I'm new to Linux. I'll keep it in mind for the future. Thanks every so much :)
[08:06] <wileee> Kingfisher, Heh, no problem, you are doing fine to ask. ;)
[08:07] <fuuuuuuuck> idk about using linux as a main comp
[08:07] <Kingfisher> Wileee: Have a good day. Bye.
[08:07] <wileee> later
[08:07] <fuuuuuuuck> theres just so much you cant do that you can on windows
[08:07] <ObrienDave> hey, idiot, change your nick
[08:07] <fuuuuuuuck> although its very useful
[08:07] <Asseroth> But seriously
[08:12] <yossarianuk> fuuuuuuuck: what examples?
[08:12] <yossarianuk> fuuuuuuuck: there are many things that you cannot do on Windows you can on Linux.
[08:13] <yossarianuk> (i.e control your OS fully.)
[08:13] <ObrienDave> he's gone, fool
[08:13] <h0mer> windows is nice for somet hings
[08:13] <yossarianuk> ah ok.
[08:14] <wileee> windows is always an Odyssey h0mer
[08:14] <lordievader> OS'es are just tools.
[08:14] <yossarianuk> h0mer: windows is a nightmare to fix, the updating system (i.e whilst turning the machine on or off is insane)
[08:15] <lordievader> If they get the job done, use it.
[08:15] <yossarianuk> lordievader: yes, I have never liked Windows, I grew up with Amiga's so knew better....
[08:15] <mcphail> Can we move the philosophy to #ubuntu-offtopic please?
[08:16] <yossarianuk> sure, I guess I should never debate anything with someone called fuuuuuuuck: .......
[08:16] <h0mer> windows has it's faults, but it is also better from a gui perspective, easier to use for developers, especially with cygwin.
[08:17] <polaris_iv> good morning; since upgrading my server from 14.10 to 15.04, i have been unable to see all user processes (e.g. ps aux, top, htop) unless i use sudo. how may i restore the old behavior, please?
[08:17] <polaris_iv> (to clarify: i can see my own processes, just not that of other users)
[08:17] <cfhowlett> !sever| polaris_iv,
[08:18] <lordievader> polaris_iv: That is likely systemd's doing, and that is a good thing. Mortal users shouldn't see other users's processes.
[08:19] <barq> How can I update kernel-headers? I tried sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic, but no new packages are found.
[08:20] <k1l> barq: what gives you uname -a?
[08:20] <cfhowlett> barq, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade should grab all packages in you upgrade pipeline
[08:20] <TJ-> barq: that's a virtual package that depends on the latest released version
[08:20] <polaris_iv> lordievader: understood; thank you
[08:21] <barq> k1l: 3.11.0-12
[08:21] <k1l> barq: and what ubuntu is that?
[08:21] <mcphail> polaris_iv: not sure that is default behaviour. I'm not at my 15.04 dektop just now so can't check, but I think you can see other user's processes by default on a normal desktop install. May be worth asking in #ubuntu-server
[08:21] <ObrienDave> looks like 12.04 there abouts
[08:22] <barq> k1l: 14.04.3 LTS
[08:22] <cfhowlett> 14.04.3 hasn't been released yet
[08:22] <barq> That's what cat /etc/lsb-release gives me.
[08:23] <k1l> barq: erm, where did you get that kernel from?
[08:23] <mcphail> barq: that isn't a 14.04 kernel, AFAIK
[08:23] <k1l> barq: 3.11 was the 13.10 kernel so there seems to be a lot of mess on your system.
[08:23] <barq> mcphail: How can I get a 14.04 kernel then? I just upgraded from 13.10
[08:23] <k1l> barq: make sure the "linux-generic" package is installed. then reboot
[08:24] <ObrienDave> Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS \n \l
[08:24] <ObrienDave> i have it also :)
[08:24] <ObrienDave> 3.13.0-61-generic kernel
[08:24] <mcphail> barq: I suspect your upgrade did not go well
[08:25] <ObrienDave> barq, use dist-upgrade
[08:25] <badbodh> looks like your upgrade mcphail-ed
[08:26] <ObrienDave> PFFFFFFFFT bad pun ;P
[08:26] <badbodh> :P
[08:27] <mcphail> barq: you may, of course, already have the latest kernel installed but have not selected in it GRUB
[08:27] <barq> installing linux-generic gets me the lastest version
[08:27] <barq> Thanks.
[08:46] <Xubuntu_noon> Hi all, I just installed xubuntu 15 & my Wi-Fi is not working can anyone please help?
[08:46] <cfhowlett> !wifi | Xubuntu_noon
[08:46] <Xubuntu_noon> Ty
[08:47] <cfhowlett> happy2help!
[08:47] <Jock-Roach> That's the reason why, xubuntu is a very low quality os
[08:47] <Jock-Roach> it's easy configurable, usually geared towards Linux newberts
[08:48] <Jock-Roach> There are a lot of anti-ubuntu people out there... For one thing, Ubuntu was made in Kenya by a group of niggers.  Ubuntu is like the easy-to-use version of debian, they tried to make Linux easy enough for niggers to use
[08:48] <ObrienDave> Jock-Roach, ummm, Xubuntu is the same as Ubuntu with a different DE. so your point is pretty much worthless
[08:49] <cfhowlett> !ops | Jock-Roach racist trolling FUD
[08:50] <ObrienDave> *sigh*
[08:52] <oobe> ObrienDave, OMG you pull  Jock-roach  ip on symantics when he is making racial slurs based soley on ignorance and an inability to interpret partial information and a lot of bad guesswork
[08:52] <badbodh> tell them you use ubuntu, nobody bats an eyelid. tell them you use debian and everybody loses their minds.
[08:53] <ObrienDave> oobe, and your point is???
[08:53] <cfhowlett> badbodh, he wasn't kicked for debian.   I’m seeing * Hostname was NOT found in DNS cache when running curl -v
[09:12] <badbodh> the endian i mean.
[09:13] <huwjr> the only difference i’m seeing is resolv.conf on old server lists “domain” but the new server lists “search” for the domain.
[09:20] <Halamix2> I bought Asus r556lj-xo164h, installed Win 10, Ubuntu 15.4 but on Ubuntu fn+f5/fn+f6 combinations (lower/higher brightness) aren't working, how I can fix this?
[09:22] <bujji> how can i monitor system ports
[09:23] <badbodh> bujji, 'netstat'
[09:23] <bujji> badbodh: like usb ports
[09:23] <badbodh> Halamix2, usually these hardware-keys don't need mapping. but do check in control center > keyboard settings.
[09:25] <badbodh> bujji, lsusb ?
[09:27] <badbodh> but if you need info on mouse/keyboard , 'xinput' will be more helpful. for pen drives use lsblk.
[09:27] <bujji> badbodh: how can i identify particular hardware is not working
[09:28] <badbodh> depends. what hardware are you trying to figure in particular ?
[09:28] <ethMiner> hello
[09:28] <ethMiner> how do i remove all accounts
[09:28] <ethMiner> and even the root account if possible
[09:28] <ethMiner> or remove its password
[09:28] <cfhowlett> !root | ethMiner,
[09:28] <ethMiner> so i can boot up directly to the desktop
[09:29] <ethMiner> no this is important for me
[09:29] <badbodh> you can't boot to anything without a user account
[09:29] <ethMiner> i want the computer to start at a button and execute the startup command i give it
[09:29] <ethMiner> i can boot from root
[09:29] <bujji> badbodh: how can i monitor for these things
[09:29] <badbodh> you want automatic login? that's possible
[09:29] <cfhowlett> ethMiner, look up "kiosk mode".
[09:29] <ethMiner> cfhowlett: badbodh: is it possible to do it with root
[09:30] <badbodh> yes, but don't
[09:30] <k1l> ethMiner: you dont run the desktop as root
[09:30] <ethMiner> im not even running x on root
[09:30] <ethMiner> i just want it to execute the 3 commands it supposed to
[09:30] <ethMiner> and continue running
[09:30] <k1l> ethMiner: you could make it autologin into a user and start the desktop. and then make a script autostart
[09:31] <k1l> ethMiner: what commands are we talking about?
[09:31] <badbodh> bujji, just play with lsusb, lsblk and xinput. for wifi dongles use ifconfig, iwconfig. caution advised :)
[09:31] <ethMiner> change the gpu speed to 90% from aticonfig
[09:31] <ethMiner> start the miner
[09:31] <ethMiner> execute a script that sends me information
[09:31] <badbodh> bujji, in terminal run "man <command name>" to know more
[09:31] <k1l> well, make a bash script then
[09:31] <mcphail> ethMiner: so you don't need a GUI at all?
[09:32] <ethMiner> not at all
[09:32] <ethMiner> i just want it to execute 3 command on the push of a button
[09:32] <cfhowlett> ethMiner, sounds like #ubuntu-server
[09:32] <mcphail> ethMiner: what button? hardware button?
[09:32] <k1l> ethMiner: so you dont need a desktop. put that script with the commands into rc.local and go
[09:33] <ethMiner> mcphail: yes the power button
[09:33] <mcphail> ethMiner: then see k1l's advice or create a cron job with the @reboot time
[09:33] <bujji> okey
[09:46] <dylan_> hi there guys my resuoliton has been stuffed up when i installed the guest additions

[09:46] <dylan_> and now its not
[09:46] <dylan_> any ideas??
[09:50] <moz> how can I set up a modem  in ubuntu?
[09:56] <Guest36470> wvdial: Cannot open /dev/ttyACM0: No such file or directory . any hint?
[09:57] <dv__> still no bluez 5 in the next release :(
[09:58] <BlackDalek> Does anyone here have any experience with getting a Fuji Xerox printer working in Ubuntu? (It is not listed in the printer settings but a linux driver DOES exist on the manufacturer's website).
[10:00] <badbodh> then you should install the driver. unless the driver is very old and throws up 'dependency not satisfied' error, you are goo to go BlackDalek
[10:00] <badbodh> *good
[10:07] <BlackDalek> badbodh, it's not that simple. Running the installer as per the instructions throws up errors. The only other place that has drivers has it available as an RPM package. I can't use that because Alien can't convert it to a DEB package because the RPM is fr 32bit and my Ubuntu OS is 64bit.
[10:07] <BlackDalek> *for
[10:07] <badbodh> that means your printer isn't supported for ubuntu.
[10:08] <badbodh> unless you can grab the source code and compile one yourself, you need to look for some inefficient generic printer drivers online
[10:08] <badbodh> they won't work pretty, but at least get something printed
[10:09] <gshmu> anyone can give me one tpp document
[10:09] <BlackDalek> badbodh, the source code IS available, but that gives me issues too... I am getting errors when trying to compile.
[10:09] <shovel_boss> how do i remove slim
[10:09] <badbodh> share the errors on pastebin
[10:09] <ivanjianjian__> hey
[10:10] <BlackDalek> badbodh, I pasted the errors into Ubuntu Forums... do you want a link to the thread?
[10:10] <llLogic> how do I remove a failed apt-get install? every time I install something it asks if I want to continue installing something that fails every single time and gives me an error
[10:10] <Ben64> llLogic: pastebin the full command and errors
[10:10] <badbodh> BlackDalek, that'll do too
[10:10] <BlackDalek> badbodh, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2288791
[10:11] <badbodh> BlackDalek, you ran install.sh with sudo ?
[10:11] <llLogic> ben64, http://pastebin.com/GdAkrsBJ
[10:12] <shovel_boss> how do i remove simple login manager
[10:12] <abir> Abir
[10:12] <llLogic> I just want to remove g15stats/g15 daemon, but it doesnt give me a simple way
[10:12] <badbodh> shovel_boss, first install another display manager (lightdm, mdm, lxdm etc) during install it will ask which one to select as default.
[10:13] <Guest36470> wvdial: Cannot open /dev/ttyACM0: No such file or directory . any hint?
[10:13] <shovel_boss> i do t want a dm
[10:13] <badbodh> how are you supposed to use ubuntu without dm ? running server ?
[10:14] <shovel_boss> same way i use freebsd withour a dm
[10:14] <badbodh> then reboot, open tty shell instead of loggin into gui. remove slim. have fun
[10:15] <ubuntu307> Has anybody else had problems with unity-tweak-tool not picking up on new fonts?
[10:15] <badbodh> can't remove a dm once you're logged in using that dm
[10:15] <broman> can someone help me? im trying to fix my grub with boot-repair tool but im getting this error: Please enable a repository containing the [grub2] packages in the software sources
[10:16] <shovel_boss> oh im not usi g slim
[10:16] <shovel_boss> how do i know what dm im using
[10:16] <BlackDalek> badbodh, yes, sudo ./install.sh
[10:17] <username1> if its standart ubuntu u are usign gdm
[10:17] <shovel_boss> xubuntu
[10:17] <badbodh> BlackDalek, for 'expected argument error' i'll need to see your install.sh file on pastebin, for the 'no file directory' error, just create that directory mentioned using 'sudo mkdir /blah/blah'
[10:18] <badbodh> xubuntu uses lightdm too. reboot, switch to tty shell (don't log in using gui) , remove lightdm
[10:19] <shovel_boss> ok
[10:19] <badbodh> apt-get remove lightdm
[10:19] <badbodh> i'm not responsible if you can't use your gui anymore :D
[10:20] <badbodh> if you want autologin, enable autologin
[10:21] <shovel_boss> now i have to specify a username then startx
[10:21] <shovel_boss> damn
[10:21] <shovel_boss> this is dense
[10:21] <BlackDalek> badbodh, here is the contents of that install.sh file http://paste.ubuntu.com/11999145/
[10:22] <shovel_boss> any way i can get autologin
[10:22] <MonkeyDust> shovel_boss  what are you doing?
[10:22] <Learner> How to view database in linux ? AM new to linux,

[10:22] <MonkeyDust> shovel_boss  system settings > user accounts > unlock
[10:23] <badbodh> BlackDalek, in line 807 you see " if [ 1 -eq $GMNUM ] " ? make that "if [ 1 -eq {$GMNUM} ] " and try
[10:24] <badbodh> for the other error run "sudo mkdir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults"
[10:24] <badbodh> now happy installing
[10:25] <lilmoe> hi
[10:26] <lilmoe> can someone help please with activating ssh
[10:26] <MonkeyDust> lilmoe  have you installed openssh-client and or openssh-server ?
[10:27] <lilmoe> nope
[10:27] <lilmoe> just ssh
[10:27] <lilmoe> lemme try that
[10:28] <BlackDalek> badbodh, I went to change the line 807... something doesn't look right... the { and } are not higlighting same colour... first is brown and second is blue. Shouldn't they be the same colour (using gedit).
[10:28] <badbodh> nah
[10:28] <badbodh> they forgot to put { } , that's all. silly syntax error.
[10:29] <badbodh> just don't put { anywhere else, or it will be impossible to debug :D
[10:29] <BlackDalek> ok
[10:29] <badbodh> i've had my share of segfault nightmares first year college
[10:30] <lilmoe> ok MonkeyDust it appears i  have those
[10:31] <MonkeyDust> lilmoe  now   ssh user@remote_ip
[10:31] <nbusrone> Brightness auto reset on 14.04 nvidia card. I had enable brightness contro l at Device section Option         "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1",  what else I need to do set it permanent brightnes to -30 ?
[10:32] <BlackDalek> badbodh, aaarrghh!! why is it not letting me create the app-defaults directory?.... wait - do I need a trailing "/" at end?
[10:32] <badbodh> no. "sudo mkdir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults" should do it.
[10:33] <lilmoe> MonkeyDust
[10:33] <lilmoe> im getting connection timed out
[10:33] <BlackDalek> dalek@dalek-Inspiron-3520:~$ sudo mkdir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults
[10:33] <BlackDalek> mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults’: No such file or directory
[10:34] <MonkeyDust> lilmoe  ssh must be installed on the remote machine, too
[10:34] <mcphail> BlackDalek: use "mkdir -p" if you need to create a long path
[10:34] <badbodh> try - sudo mkdir "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults"  <-quotes
[10:34] <lilmoe> isn't there another program
[10:34] <badbodh> oh, long path
[10:35] <BlackDalek> ok, the -p switch worked
[10:35] <MonkeyDust> lilmoe  you mean a GUI for ssh? there's gigolo
[10:35] <MonkeyDust> lilmoe  but that doesnt change anything, if ssh isnt installed on the remote machine
[10:35] <lilmoe> I have it installed
[10:36] <MonkeyDust> lilmoe  then maybe a firewall issue on the remote machine
[10:37] <lilmoe> thanks
[10:37] <BlackDalek> badbodh, the installer ran without error.
[10:37] <badbodh> nice. pray the printer runs without error too.
[10:40] <zeorin> Hi all, I'm having a problem suddenly where I cannot log in graphically. Ubuntu 15.04. Lightdm seems to start just fine. .xession-errors tells me that upstart couldn't spawn upstart-udev-bridge. Yet my system uses systemd...
[10:40] <zeorin> I'm stumped
[10:40] <Guest19168> exit
[10:43] <zeorin> The behaviour I'm getting is that the login prompt and the 'dots' on the background disappear and then the process stops. It's not frozen, but it doesn't continue...
[10:44] <BlackDalek> badbodh, I don't see the printer name listed anywhere in printer settings still. I would not be able to test it tonight anyway as I am at home and printer is at work.
[10:44] <badbodh> BlackDalek, maybe the driver module isn't loaded. need more digging.
[10:44] <badbodh> maybe next time.
[10:45] <BlackDalek> thanks
[10:47] <BlackDalek> badbodh, I just noticed there WAS an error running the install.sh.... "./install.sh: 807: [: Illegal number: {}"
[10:50] <badbodh> it should be > if [ 1 -eq {$GMNUM} ]
[10:51] <badbodh> oh wait. i see no {} in several other places.
[10:52] <BlackDalek> badbodh, it says "if [ 1 -eq {$GMNUM} ]"
[10:53] <roma_> what are some programming channels?
[10:53] <badbodh> then remove the {} , that's not the problem. maybe that variable isn't declared properly
[10:53] <cfhowlett> !list | roma_

[10:56] <MonkeyDust> roma_  type   '/msg alis list what_you_want'   <-- without the quotes
[10:56] <roma_> nope, nothing
[10:56] <MonkeyDust> roma_  a new tab has opened, go there
[10:56] <mcphail> roma_: it may be opeining in a different irc window
[10:57] <badbodh> BlackDalek, i see GMVER=`rpm -q glibc | awk '{printf ("%s",substr($1,9,1))}' , maybe that means something with what's wrong

[10:57] <badbodh> gmnum = gmver each time
[10:58] <roma_> how do i go to the new tab? )
[10:58] <badbodh> and somehow gmver isn't being assigned a value

[11:15] <zeorin> Doesn't matter which desktop environment I select. .xsession-errors moans that upstart can't spawn upstart-udev-bridge, but I'm not sure that isn't just a left over error from the switch to systemd

[11:23] <x4w3> i don't what is it, then i don't if it is installed, i will check it at home.
[11:30] <badbodh> script-kiddie, exec /path/to/script or sh /path/to/script
[11:30] <zeorin> I've also managed to find out that lightdm spawns upstart when I log in, which itself then spawns a shell, which then spawns a sleep process. The sleep and the shell eventually terminate, but upstart does not
[11:32] <zeorin> should lightdm even be spawning upstart on a systemd system?
[11:33] <gulzar> I enabled root login via ssh in 14.04. But only one user is able to login at a time. How to allow multiple root logins via ssh?
[11:33] <zeorin> Does anyone have any idea of where I should be asking this? I feel like I'm talking out to the ether where no one can hear me scream :-)
[11:33] <badbodh> maybe the upstart remains for compatibility purpose. if you run upstart and sysvinit things, they get piped to systemd
[11:34] <badbodh> then systemd does the rest
[11:34] <ioria> as far as i know the transition to systemd it's not completed yet...
[11:35] <gulzar> #archlinux
[11:35] <zeorin> OK. I don't event know what the real problem is yet because I'm not sure which error relates to what
[11:36] <ioria> we would say that is "hybrid"
[11:36] <zeorin> Basically, I can't login to the desktop. No error messages, after entering my password the login prompt and the 'dots' just disappear, and then the process stops (although the mouse is still responsive and I can access the vtty's)
[11:36] <badbodh> not really, systemd does everything. all upstart commands get sent/translated to systemd.
[11:37] <zeorin> Choosing a different session (e.g. Xfce instead of Unity), makes no difference.
[11:37] <ioria> zeorin, and you think is related to systemd ?
[11:38] <zeorin> I have no idea what it's related to... It was working fine, and after a reboot it was not
[11:38] <zeorin> No packages were updated since the last reboot
[11:38] <badbodh> zeorin, what were yuou doing prior to this problem.
[11:38] <zeorin> I was configuring my zsh startup scripts
[11:38] <zeorin> Specifically, editing /etc/zsh/zshenv
[11:39] <zeorin> Which ought to have absolutely no bearing on this problem... but there you have it
[11:39] <badbodh> there you go. that's something. startup-scripts = not startup :D
[11:39] <ioria> zeorin, check .profile
[11:39] <badbodh> remove zsh from tty shell and reboot
[11:40] <badbodh> that too. check .profile and /etc/profile.d
[11:41] <ioria> zeorin, maybe is very related
[11:41] <pragomer1> according to this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2189855  (that one from davidlukas.m)  I urgently need an ubuntu with 32bit-efi... anyone know where to get? because my skills arent good enought to do this
[11:41] <zeorin> ioria, I just changed the file back to what it was before the problem occurred and after restarting lightdm I still have the same problem.
[11:42] <badbodh> anything prior to that zsh thingy ?
[11:42] <ioria> zeorin, ls -al .Xauthority ?
[11:44] <zeorin> ioria: -xr------- 1 user user 49 Aug 4 13:43 .Xauthority
[11:44] <zeorin> If I remove it and restart lightdm it's just recreated
[11:44] <ioria> rw
[11:45] <zeorin> yeah sorry that's what I meant to type
[11:45] <ioria> ok
[11:45] <ioria> zeorin,  .ICEauthority , the same ?
[11:46] <zeorin> I've been bitten by the .Xauthority file being owned by root a couple of times. Yup .ICEauthority is the same
[11:46] <badbodh> just chown the damn home folder and get over it :D
[11:48] <zeorin> badbodh: I was installing Nvidia CUDA before the zsh thing, but I had many restarts after I had installed it without issue
[11:49] <badbodh> so it boils down to zsh thing. apt-get purge and check. you can always install again. deb files will still be cached in /var/vache
[11:49] <badbodh> *cache
[11:50] <badbodh> you can 'cat ~/.xsession-errors' and see any error messages
[11:51] <zeorin> seems strange that it would be zsh... All I was doing was configuring the PATH env variable. As far as I know the only time Unity cares about what's in my zsh startup files is when I launch a virtual terminal
[11:51] <zeorin> anyway will try a reboot
[11:51] <ioria> zeorin,  and run  ls -al /home/user ... maybe something else owned by root
[11:52] <badbodh> touch -R will also indicate root ownership, with less ouput :3
[11:52] <badbodh> oh, no -R
[11:52] <zeorin> ioria: noting in the root of my home folder is owned by root
[11:53] <ioria> zeorin,  not a problem, i think /home is for root
[11:54] <zeorin> badbodh: upstart: Failed to spawn upstart-udev-bridge main process: unable to execute: No such file or directory
[11:55] <zeorin> badbodh: unity-gtk-module main process (9246) terminated with status 127
[11:55] <badbodh> boing!
[11:55] <zeorin> badbodh: dbus-prestart process (9247) terminated with status 127
[11:55] <badbodh> that's a lot of boing-s
[11:56] <zeorin> also some interesting things in /var/log/syslog when I try to long in
[11:56] <zeorin> when I try to log in the syslog logs 3 errors from different processes, each telling me: g_dbug_connection_real_closed: Remote peer vanished with error: Underlying GIOStream returned 0 bytes on async read (g-io-error-quark, 0). Exiting
[11:56] <zeorin> the processes in question are org.a11y.Bus, org.gtk.vfs.Daemon, ca.desrt.dconf, and org.a11y.atspi.Registry
[11:58] <zeorin> Google has been most unhelpfull with these error messages
[12:04] <zeorin> badbodh, ioria: .cache/upstart/dbus.log says: /proc/self/fd/9/: 3: /proc/self/fd/9: initctl: not found
[12:06] <badbodh> zeorin,  unity-gtk-module main process (9246) terminated with status 127 could be the problem
[12:06] <badbodh> ignore stuff in .cache, it's a cache folder
[12:06] <badbodh> you can rmf it without consequences, sort of
[12:09] <zeorin> badbodh: do you know where I could find error logs for unity-gtk-module?
[12:09] <ioria> zeorin,  locate initctl ?
[12:10] <gulzar> Please help. I enabled root login via ssh in 14.04. But only one root user is able to login at a time. How to allow multiple root logins via ssh?
[12:10] <ioria> zeorin,  you should have 4 entries
[12:11] <badbodh> gulzar, create another user account with full root privileges using adduser
[12:11] <gulzar> badbodh: this is 'root' . I enabled it
[12:11] <gulzar> batden: root@host
[12:12] <Boogymanx> Hey guys, does anyone know why my alt-tab switcher is no longer always on top after a reboot?
[12:12] <gulzar> batden: users can connect but only one connection, how to allow multiple connections?
[12:13] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:13] <zeorin> ioria: there are a few entries, there is one in /sbin/initctl
[12:13] <badbodh> gulzar, use adduser command to add another user . there should be an option to inherit privileges. 'man adduser' to check. i don't know any further.
[12:13] <MonkeyDust> Boogymanx  how can a key combination be on top of something?
[12:14] <Boogymanx> MonkeyDust: I don't know, all I know is that I'm used to my alt-tab app switcher being on top and it no longer is
[12:15] <gulzar> badbodh: you are not getting it. I am talking about 'root' account ,. via ssh doing "" ssh root@<my ip> "" users can login with 'root' account, but only  one connection. When they login once more they can't beacuse one connection is already created
[12:15] <badbodh> obviously, only one login per account.
[12:15] <MonkeyDust> Boogymanx  on top of what?
[12:15] <Boogymanx> MonkeyDust: the current screen
[12:15] <badbodh> do you need root privileges or the fancy name 'root' on your terminal ?
[12:15] <Boogymanx> or current active window
[12:16] <Boogymanx> not screen
[12:16] <gulzar> badbodh: no, it is possible
[12:16] <Boogymanx> MonkeyDust: After reboot I'm actually also having an issue with my launcher no longer showing, it only does so if I'm on the desktop
[12:16] <MonkeyDust> Boogymanx  alt tab is on your keyboard, not on your screen, or what do you mean?
[12:17] <Boogymanx> MonkeyDust: The key combo alt & tab opens an app switcher
[12:17] <ioria> zeorin,  do you have for any chance a unity-gtk-module.log ?
[12:17] <badbodh> gulzar, then consult ssh documentation, i don't think it is an ubuntu specific issue
[12:18] <MonkeyDust> Boogymanx  is this useful   http://askubuntu.com/questions/336609/how-to-make-ubuntu-switcher-bring-to-front-windows-while-im-holding-alttab
[12:19] <Boogymanx> MonkeyDust: I'll have a look at that, thanks :)
[12:21] <madonna_1> hey guys, which is the best VPN app for ubuntu ???
[12:22] <zeorin> ioria, badbodh: so the issue was that the PATH wasn't set correctly in /etc/environment. It had escaped me that I had commented a line out there because I'd read that the preferred way to set environments is in /etc/login.defs, and that /etc/environment is supposed to be deprecated.
[12:22] <zeorin> Guess what I read was wrong :-(
[12:22] <rory> madonna_1: Ubuntu comes with VPN support built into the network manager
[12:22] <zeorin> ioria, badbodh: thank you both so much for your help! It's really appreciated! :-)
[12:22] <ltsampros> hey guys
[12:22] <ltsampros> 14.04 LTS user here
[12:22] <badbodh> zeorin, so all this time it was something you did about that zsh that caused it
[12:22] <ioria> zeorin,  no problem, good job
[12:22] <ltsampros> big problem with ssh-agent etc etc
[12:22] <madonna_1> rory: not that one
[12:22] <ltsampros> and gnome-keyring
[12:23] <zeorin> badbodh: technically not zsh, it ignores /etc/environment anyway
[12:23] <rory> madonna_1: What are you trying to do?
[12:23] <ltsampros> is there any reliable workaround/fix/remedy that could allow me to have SSH_AUTH_SOCK under all X processes?
[12:23] <badbodh> zeorin, so it was you. which makes it even worse.
[12:23] <badbodh> you owe us apology
[12:24] <badbodh> linux doesn't stop working by itself (except arch) , it's always something you do that's to be blamed.
[12:24] <rory> madonna_1: Ubuntu comes with support for PPTP type VPNs out of the box. You can install openvpn support within network manager by installing the "network-manager-openvpn" package, and logging out and in
[12:25] <madonna_1> rory : tanqqqqqqqqqqqqq. ;-)
[12:25] <zeorin> badbodh: please accept my apology :-)
[12:25] <rory> madonna_1: stop being cryptic. What are you trying to do?
[12:25] <badbodh> zeorin, and ioria too, not just me
[12:26] <ioria> ^_^
[12:26] <zeorin> ioria: also please accept my apology
[12:26] <ltsampros> is anyone affected by bug 1271591 in here?
[12:26] <ioria> never
[12:26] <badbodh> if ioria says no, so do i
[12:26] <zeorin> ioria: I can't do more than that :-) Good luck with inner peace you guys!
[12:26] <ioria> ^_^

[12:27] <rory> funkenstrahlen: What error do you get?
[12:27] <funkenstrahlen> rory: see gist
[12:27] <funkenstrahlen> rory: https://gist.github.com/funkenstrahlen/e60f7e103c2f697c44c6
[12:28] <funkenstrahlen> rory: it does not source the vars before running clean-all
[12:29] <rory> does the source command work by itsself?
[12:29] <funkenstrahlen> rory: yes, if I run it separately it works
[12:30] <funkenstrahlen> rory: however I want to run this in one line (ansible role)
[12:30] <funkenstrahlen> I really can not see the error in this shell line ...
[12:31] <funkenstrahlen> I tried sudo source ./vars No difference
[12:31] <madonna_1> hey guys, my android fon is not detecting in ubuntu 12.04 as modem. It was detecting earliar. I want to connect as mobile broadband
[12:32] <badbodh> madonna_1, check usbsettings in your phone. make sure to enable tethering
[12:32] <badbodh> ubuntu doesn't need any tinkering here
[12:32] <MonkeyDust> !ics | madonna_1 start here
[12:33] <madonna_1> also i cant copy paste files between pc and fon
[12:33] <badbodh> MonkeyDust, he's trying to use his android phone as modem, aka usb tethering
[12:33] <madonna_1> copy fails
[12:33] <badbodh> any error message(s) ?
[12:34] <madonna_1> wow.,.. usb tethering works
[12:35] <nabdev> any help to resolve this issue http://i.imgur.com/fEsXDAm.jpg ? i can' write my password to login in my VM ( ubuntu 14.04 )
[12:37] <badbodh> nabdev, type in your pass and hit enter. does that work ?
[12:37] <nabdev> badbodh> no
[12:38] <badbodh> you chose 'encypted home' during install ?
[12:39] <nabdev> i don't remember that but sometime i have this not all the time ; with ctrl+alt+f2 i can login normally
[12:41] <fidel_> nabdev: if it happens just sometimes and you are ok with an ugly fix - simply start to another tty and restart lightdm
[12:42] <ioria> nabdev, have you tried to restart lightdm ?
[12:42] <fidel_> i guess if that isnt a known bug - might be 1 of several easy ways to handle it. one other would be jumping to another login-manager i.e. gdm instead of lightdm. But i cant offer a real fix as i havent seen this before myself
[12:42] <martinrame> hi, I cannot define a route to a 2nd ubuntu PC with two nics. My PC is in network 192.65.214.x, server's 1nst nic is 192.65.214.x, 2nd 192.168.0.x. I need to set the gw of my PC to 192.168.0.x, but I get SIOCADDRT.

[12:51] <jrow> I just removed a load of old linux headers in an attempt to free up some disk space. I eventually ran suod apt-get autoremove but it gets 'stuck' at the following step: "run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub"
[12:51] <jrow> Any ideas?
[12:52] <jrow> It also syas "Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 3.13.0-53-generic cannot be found" which is no surprise since i just uninstalled it
[12:53] <eL_bAmba> you removed with apt or manual rm
[12:53] <nabdev> yeh , may be i msut change my opinion about updated os
[12:53] <Guest64076> pls, help: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11999869/
[12:53] <jrow> with apt

[12:54] <jrow> So then I try to reinstall the headers and i just get stuck still trying to do the post uninstall step
[12:55] <fidel_> nabdev: there is no quaranty that updating an os always works without issues - but not updating a system which is connected to the internet isnt a solution either ;)
[12:56] <jrow> Is there a way to "reset" the package manager's state?
[12:56] <nabdev> fidel_ > yeh .. :=)

[13:05] <DrunkenDwarf> Hi all. I listen to a lot of ShoutCast radio while I work and have been looking for a media player to play it. I know most players will play the streams, but im looking for one that will do a listing of all the stations, like what winamp does (or at least did, been years since i used it). . Ive googled my heart out but cant seem to find what im looking for
[13:05] <n0rp3d> wont ignore with no parameters ignore the messages too?
[13:06] <thecha> I don't understand your question
[13:06] <Pici> n0rp3d: no
[13:06] <DrunkenDwarf> my question or someone elses?
[13:06] <Guest64076> I have a problem with my internet key: here are the details: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11999869/ any hint?
[13:07] <sagat> bom dia
[13:07] <Pici> DrunkenDwarf: I was under the impression that VLC could do that... but I don't find VLC a great music player.
[13:07] <MonkeyDust> Guest64076  put your question in a decent phrase
[13:07] <n0rp3d> why dont people find vlc a good player?
[13:07] <MonkeyDust> n0rp3d  why do you think that?
[13:08] <n0rp3d> i mean yeah it sometimes does those graphic smudge things, but generally it's pretty stable and neat
[13:08] <DrunkenDwarf> Pici: I know VLC can play the streams if you give it the address. But im looking for something that can also browse the directory of all the stations
[13:08] <n0rp3d> i don't, ive been using it for years, but people usually shit on it
[13:08] <Guest64076> MonkeyDust, my internet key works just after reboot. why?
[13:08] <MonkeyDust> n0rp3d  do they? never noticed
[13:09] <MonkeyDust> Guest64076  define 'internet key'
[13:09] <DrunkenDwarf> when it comes to playing music on my HD, just can't beat cmus :)

[13:12] <n0rp3d> modem, 100%
[13:12] <sagat> bom dia

[13:12] <n0rp3d> but depends, some sim modems can distribute network via usb & wifi
[13:13] <Guest64076> MonkeyDust, any hint?
[13:13] <MonkeyDust> Guest64076  no, i'm not familiar with it
[13:14] <Guest64076> ok
[13:15] <MonkeyDust> Guest64076  next time, be more specific than 'internet key'
[13:15] <sagat> sorry
[13:15] <MonkeyDust> sagat  keep it in the channel
[13:17] <n0rp3d> what about removing/chaning the limit that the '/msg alis list ...." sets by default?
[13:17] <daftykins> n0rp3d: that's a network bot, go talk to #freenode about it - not us.

[13:46] <JayBau> Hi guys, does anyone knows how to enable the brightness for my Lenovo z500?
[13:47] <JayBau> I've tried lots of solution, but non of them worked
[13:47] <skinux> I'm trying to execute a .run file, no matter what I do it says cannot execute binary file
[13:48] <daftykins> skinux: what is it?
[13:48] <k1l_> skinux: set it +x with chmod. but dont run .run files just blindly
[13:48] <daftykins> having one is sign #1 that you're not doing something the most ideal way
[13:48] <skinux> metasploit penetration testing tool
[13:48] <JayBau> try to chmod +x on your .run file
[13:48] <skinux> I did that already
[13:48] <daftykins> so then switch to root with "sudo -i" and run it with ./blah.run
[13:48] <daftykins> as long as it's +x'd for root :D
[13:49] <daftykins> alternatively, install it properly ;)
[13:49] <skinux> I get permission denied using sudo -i
[13:50] <daftykins> you know i mean just "sudo -i" and that's it, yeah?
[13:50] <skinux> I did sudo -i first and then tried it, said permission denied
[13:50] <daftykins> chmod +x it first?
[13:50] <JayBau> strange, permission problem should be fixed by chmod +x
[13:51] <EriC^^> what is it supposed to be run by anyways
[13:51] <skinux> chmod +x didn't make a difference.
[13:51] <n0rp3d> sudo chmod?
[13:51] <k1l_> skinux: where is that file? please show the command and output in a pastebin
[13:51] <EriC^^> type head -1 /path/to/.run
[13:51] <daftykins> show us an "ls -al" in the folder where that file is
[13:52] <skinux> Head appears to have returned a bunch of encryption
[13:52] <k1l_> !paste | skinux
[13:52] <EriC^^> ok ./.run runs something by looking for a shebang
[13:53] <k1l_> skinux: details matter. so show it in a pastebin please
[13:53] <EriC^^> no shebang, no run
[13:53] <tutolato> hi guys, i have a problem with my touchpad. i am very new to linux so i dont really know what to do. Thinkpad S440, the touchpad freezes everytime i let go of it and only starts working again after some time moving my finger over it.
[13:54] <skinux> https://gist.github.com/skinuxgeek/18444c066e98a92f389b
[13:56] <skinux> I don't know how that encryption or encoding help any, but it's there.
[13:57] <k1l_> are you sure the file is not corrupted?
[13:57] <EriC^^> skinux: type file /path/to/run
[13:58] <skinux> Okay, updated the Gist
[13:59] <EriC^^> ok so what's ls -l /path/to/run say
[14:01] <skinux> That's already on the Gist
[14:02] <EriC^^> skinux: it's not +x
[14:02] <EriC^^> chmod +x it
[14:02] <skinux> I did
[14:02] <skinux> I did that twice in fact
[14:02] <daftykins> is it stored on an NTFS volume maybe?
[14:02] <EriC^^> is it on ^
[14:02] <daftykins> something non-EXT3/4
[14:02] <skinux> Umm...actually I think it is.
[14:03] <daftykins> is which
[14:03] <daftykins> i think you need to read up on permissions after this :)
[14:06] <skinux> I got it.
[14:07] <daftykins> "thanks all"

[14:11] <tutolato>  hi guys, i have a problem with my touchpad. i am very new to linux so i dont really know what to do. Thinkpad S440, the touchpad freezes everytime i let go of it and only starts working again after some time moving my finger over it.
[14:13] <BotchlaB> tutolato: What distro are you using? You already asked in ##linux, it's confusing if you asked in both places.
[14:13] <tutolato> BotchlaB i am using ubuntu mate
[14:16] <tutolato> am i doing something wrong or why does nobody answer :O ?
[14:16] <cfhowlett> !patience | tutolato
[14:16] <mac_marcus> :D
[14:17] <tutolato> >the year of the linux desktop
[14:17] <tutolato> ;)
[14:18] <k1l_> tutolato: is this a known issue for your device?
[14:18] <k1l_> that sounds like some standby issue?
[14:18] <skinux> A web script I'm using is complaining I don't have AES crypto library installed. Is it a apache mod I'm missing or just a package?
[14:18] <Bangladeshi> i am using xubuntu, do u gys support it here?
[14:18] <cfhowlett> Bangladeshi, yes or in #xubuntu
[14:18] <Bangladeshi> okey
[14:19] <tutolato> k1l_ yes i also think this is some powersaving issue, a few years ago i had ubuntu on my system and tried to lower the discharge rate with powertop and the same issure acured
[14:19] <tutolato> but this is a clean install
[14:20] <tutolato> my trackpoint works flawlessly
[14:20] <skinux> Bangadeshi: Does your nick mean anything in English?
[14:21] <Bangladeshi> ok i have this problem, i use a wimax modem, that needs a usb port to be connected with internet. unfortuately the model company doesnt have a driver for linux for this modem. i have found a diver of this modem in a blog. but the driver doesnt work properly, like sometimes the modem doesnt show signal line when i connect it with computer. so can anyone help me find or develp a good driver for
[14:21] <Bangladeshi> this wimax modem,

[14:21] <r3S1L13n7> How to I reinstall the i915 drivers for ubuntu 14.04. A recent update is causing my system to hang up about 5 seconds after I login
[14:22] <cfhowlett> Bangladeshi, best to contact the driver maintainers with this issue and ask them for the fix.
[14:22] <amtron> how to instal tally
[14:22] <Bangladeshi> cfhowlett they dont provide linux related help, their driver only works in windows
[14:23] <Bangladeshi> iv heard this place is full of brilliant and powreful coders, who penetrate digital world, so iv came here with a hope
[14:23] <k1l_> tutolato: dont know. it should work ootb. maybe see the bios settings for that if there is something disabled
[14:23] <cfhowlett> Bangladeshi, then the sanest option is to purchase a device that actually DOES suppot linux
[14:23] <Bangladeshi> that someone will be able to help
[14:23] <amtron> i  really agree with you
[14:23] <cfhowlett> !hardware | Bangladeshi
[14:23] <tutolato> k1l_ under win it works
[14:23] <tutolato> i am dualbooting
[14:23] <Bangladeshi> cfhowlett ur solution seems, if a person has a problem in his leg, u want him to cut it down :P
[14:24] <cfhowlett> Bangladeshi, false.  Given a choice, select what works.
[14:24] <orzel2001> How to install eclipse 4.2 on ubuntu mate?
[14:24] <Bangladeshi> lol ok bro
[14:24] <Bangladeshi> thanks for ur help
[14:25] <OerHeks> orzel2001, find a PPA or build it yourself
[14:25] <orzel2001> ok
[14:28] <k1l_> tutolato: well i dont know. maybe you need to find if others have that issue on the s440 too. you can try to see if there is something in dmesg or syslog about that.
[14:28] <r3S1L13n7> How to I reinstall the i915 drivers for ubuntu 14.04. A recent update is causing my system to hang up about 5 seconds after I login
[14:29] <k1l_> r3S1L13n7: try booting the older kernel and see if that helps
[14:29] <k1l_> r3S1L13n7: if yes, file a bug to that new kernel
[14:29] <r3S1L13n7> k1l_: ok i will try
[14:30] <tutolato> this is so frustrating. really want to use linux insted of windows - what happens? my touchpad doesnt work properly and its a pain in the ass ^^
[14:31] <OerHeks> tutolato, touchpad in your ass ... please keep this irc channel family & touchpad friendly

[14:37] <cfhowlett> !mac | infohound,
[14:37] <sloof> I've got a /boot that is full and apt is complaining about unmet dependencies.  I'd like to clear out old kernel packages but I doesn't look like apt will let me.  Any ideas?
[14:37] <EriC^^> sloof: remove the initrd of the old kernels manually then purge with apt
[14:39] <Shuka> EriC^^: The log tells me AIGLX: Suspending AIGLX clients for VT switch
[14:39] <EriC^^> that's normal i thinnk
[14:39] <Shuka> EriC^^: The rest is just No input driver specified, ignoring this device
[14:40] <EriC^^> Shuka: can you paste the whole log?
[14:40] <notroot> i installed ubuntu 15 on an old laptop
[14:40] <notroot> sound isn't working
[14:40] <Shuka> EriC^^: I'm on my laptop, the problom is on my main computer.
[14:40] <notroot> whats the name of that pau control
[14:40] <EriC^^> does it have internet?

[14:43] <soulisson> Hello, quick question please, when tcp is used for syslog, is the tcp connection between the client and the server maintained?
[14:44] <EriC^^> Shuka: anything in ~/.xsession-errors ?
[14:45] <notroot> this laptop isn't showing any real output devices for audio. what step can i take to see about finding the correct audio driver?
[14:45] <Shuka> EriC^^: ~/.xsession-errors    termbin.com/d441
[14:45] <EriC^^> Shuka: page not found
[14:46] <Shuka> EriC^^: http://termbin.com/5py1
[14:47] <EriC^^> Shuka: type ls -l ~/.Xauthority
[14:48] <Shuka> EriC^^: Its there
[14:48] <EriC^^> who's the owner?
[14:48] <Shuka> EriC^^: root, only r and w privliges.
[14:49] <k1l_> root is bad. should be the user
[14:49] <EriC^^> ok, type sudo chown <your user>: ~/.Xauthority
[14:49] <EriC^^> Shuka: did you run sudo startx ?
[14:49] <Shuka> Yea I tried sudo startx before, and it is under my user.
[14:50] <EriC^^> Shuka: don't use sudo with startx it'll mess up the permissions
[14:50] <EriC^^> and startx doesn
[14:50] <Shuka> Alright, is that why the file was under root?
[14:50] <EriC^^> 't work too well with ubuntu
[14:50] <k1l_> yes
[14:51] <Shuka> Would reinstalling x11 and my wm solve this problom?
[14:51] <EriC^^> no, just chown the file
[14:52] <Shuka> EriC^^: Same problom
[14:52] <Shuka> EriC^^: Not sure if restart is needed
[14:52] <EriC^^> Shuka: it's not, try the guest session for a sec
[14:52] <EriC^^> just so we know it's system-wide
[14:53] <Shuka> EriC^^: Thats not enabled
[14:53] <EriC^^> try making another user real quick, sudo adduser
[14:54] <Shuka> Okay
[14:54] <Shuka> Should I login in gui with it?
[14:54] <EriC^^> yeah
[14:54] <Shuka> cause su works fine with it
[14:54] <Shuka> Same thing, just blinks to terminal and goes back to login.
[14:56] <Spider> hello
[14:56] <Shuka> EriC^^: Well thanks for trying to help me, I am just going to back to slackware.
[14:57] <daftykins> Shuka: giving up won't teach you anything :)
[14:58] <Spider> do or do not therer is no try
[14:58] <EriC^^> abra ka dabra much?
[14:59] <Shuka> daftykins: Yes but I can't spend all day and all night fixing ubuntu.
[14:59] <Shuka> daftykins: Ubuntu distros always break for me
[14:59] <daftykins> Shuka: well, you did run startx :)
[14:59] <daftykins> Shuka: check the guest session works ok
[15:00] <k1l_> and running irc as root.
[15:00] <Spider> why do you insist on using ubuntu? why not use some other linux?
[15:00] <k1l_> Shuka: if you want to run as root all the time, ubuntu is not the right choice.
[15:00] <daftykins> Spider: this is a support channel, conversation like that can be had in #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:00] <daftykins> Spider: pro tip though, just 'cause we're in here doesn't mean we use something ;)
[15:01] <Shuka> I use slackware on all my laptops, one some I dual boot. Thing is when I install slackware on my main computer I get some kernel error at boot time.
[15:01] <daftykins> Shuka: ok but that's off topic here
[15:01] <Spider> i get it but free speech much?
[15:01] <Giwrgaras> hi sos please
[15:01] <Shuka> daftykins: sorry
[15:01] <Giwrgaras> ive got a netgear n300 wifi rooter and ubuntu cant see it
[15:01] <daftykins> Spider: no, channel policy - this isn't somewhere for you to complain about supposed rights
[15:01] <Giwrgaras> what do i have to do
[15:02] <Giwrgaras> ive  bought a wifi device and its not visible
[15:02] <k1l_> Spider: your false concept of free speech is not part of this channel.
[15:02] <Spider> haha very funny
[15:03] <Giwrgaras> anyone?
[15:04] <daftykins> Giwrgaras: ubuntu version? wireless card/dongle make + model / chipset ?
[15:05] <PrinceOfCats> Giwrgaras:  Can you see other wifis/routers?
[15:05] <Spider> so where in the ever-loving land of ubuntu can i go to shoot the bull?
[15:05] <Pici> Spider: #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:07] <Giwrgaras> no
[15:07] <Giwrgaras> 12.04 daftykins
[15:07] <daftykins> Giwrgaras: wow, bit old - is this a clean install? what resulted in you having no wifi today?
[15:07] <Giwrgaras> PrinceOfCats: no i cant see the device now im connected via ethernet
[15:08] <Giwrgaras> from the time ive bought the device it isnt visible
[15:08] <tutolato> can someone with a 2013-2015 thinkpad please run "xinput list-props "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" ? so that i can verify if my install uses the correct defaults?
[15:08] <Giwrgaras> what can i do now to install some drivers, wine isnt working
[15:08] <daftykins> Giwrgaras: are you fully dist-upgrade'd ?
[15:09] <caron> Giwrgaras, and how did you install wine?
[15:09] <daftykins> Giwrgaras: well you haven't answered what your wireless hardware is yet - so "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then type "lspci | pastebinit" and "lsusb | pastebinit"
[15:09] <Giwrgaras> no how do i do that
[15:09] <k1l_> Giwrgaras: is the router sending on a channel or a frequency the wifi card doesnt support?
[15:09] <Giwrgaras> i had that in my pc
[15:09] <daftykins> Giwrgaras: if you're not up to date, "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[15:10] <Giwrgaras> i did that
[15:10] <Giwrgaras> i have the last version
[15:10] <Giwrgaras> daftykins:
[15:10] <daftykins> Giwrgaras: ok run the above commands and paste the links here please
[15:11] <Giwrgaras> normally i have to see the wifi on the upper corner of my desktop right? so i can select the wifi and put the code
[15:11] <Giwrgaras> there is nothing there
[15:11] <daftykins> so you don't have the network manager
[15:11] <daftykins> so that's not necessarily not having working wifi
[15:11] <Giwrgaras> My ubuntu is not in English language
[15:11] <daftykins> alright but are you running the commands i suggested?
[15:12] <Giwrgaras> sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source is allready the last one; or something like that it says
[15:12] <daftykins> nobody said to run that
[15:12] <Giwrgaras> oops false sorry
[15:13] <Giwrgaras> wrong cp now i do dist upgrade
[15:13] <daftykins> i thought you said you did that already
[15:13] <daftykins> Giwrgaras: i'm waiting for "lspci | pastebinit"
[15:13] <Giwrgaras> daftykins: what is that?
[15:14] <daftykins> a command to run to show your hardware
[15:14] <daftykins> i typed it ages ago and asked you to run it, but you still haven't
[15:15] <k1l_> Giwrgaras: you said the wifi card did work already and you bought a new router?
[15:21] <Giwrgaras> k1l_: i just bought it the wifi
[15:22] <k1l_> Giwrgaras: router or wifi card?
[15:23] <Giwrgaras> router
[15:23] <Giwrgaras> wifi router
[15:23] <daftykins> still waiting on the command output
[15:24] <k1l_> Giwrgaras: is it running? is it seen by other laptops, smartphones?
[15:25] <Giwrgaras> yes
[15:25] <Giwrgaras> it cant see anything
[15:26] <Giwrgaras> or i cant see it on the upper corner
[15:26] <daftykins> "lspci | pastebinit"
[15:27] <k1l_> Giwrgaras: please make sure to not make such short and confusing answers. "yes", "no", "i cant see it"... so you got a new router and the old wifi card on that ubuntu 12.04 cant see it?
[15:27] <k1l_> Giwrgaras: so is the router sending on a frequency the old wifi card doesnt work with? please make sure tha hardware is alright
[15:29] <Giwrgaras> no i just cant see it
[15:29] <Giwrgaras> like it doesnt exist
[15:29] <Giwrgaras> i tried the pastbinit
[15:29] <daftykins> and?
[15:29] <Giwrgaras> but i dont have the prog and cant install it
[15:29] <daftykins> why can't you install it?
[15:29] <daftykins> Giwrgaras: don't you think saying you had problems makes more sense than staying silent?
[15:30] <daftykins> visit http://paste.ubuntu.com manually and paste in the output of "lspci" from the terminal
[15:31] <Giwrgaras> now i do the dist upgrade
[15:31] <Giwrgaras> its sitll doing it
[15:31] <daftykins> you can do the above at the same time
[15:33] <F6F7> always after waking up my ubuntu (most recent version) rom sleep/hibernation it shows just a black screen so that i have to restart. what is the reason for that?
[15:34] <OerHeks> F6F7, encrypted home perhaps?
[15:34] <B-Max> Hey. I'm attempting to set up a proxy server using Squid3 using these steps: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Proxy - I'm fairly certain I was successful in this as I'm able to configure my network settings on my MAC to use it. However, I'm trying to configure another Ubuntu server to use it to no avail. I have the following in my /etc/environment: http://pastebin.com/R12E8Wtu - I try doing various network activities on the second serve
[15:34] <daftykins> could be graphics driver related
[15:34] <B-Max> access logs. Any ideas?
[15:34] <Spider> internal conflict
[15:34] <F6F7> OerHeks: full disk encryption
[15:35] <Giwrgaras> lspci can i paste it here?
[15:35] <Giwrgaras> or do i risk a ban
[15:35] <Giwrgaras> its 15 lines long
[15:35] <OerHeks> F6F7, all i know is that hybernate does not work on encrypted drives, the code cannot be read from encrypted swap.
[15:35] <OerHeks> maybe i am wrong ..
[15:35] <F6F7> OerHeks: alright, thanks for letting me know
[15:35] <daftykins> Giwrgaras: i linked you to the site where to paste it...
[15:35] <Giwrgaras> http://pastebin.com/KA0cAVBr
[15:35] <F6F7> however, on a debian laptop i can always wake it up from hibernation despite full disk encryption
[15:36] <F6F7> so maybe it is indeed graphics driver related. is there a wayto find out?
[15:36] <F6F7> i have a nvidia gpu
[15:37] <daftykins> Giwrgaras: is the wifi device a USB dongle plugged in?
[15:37] <F6F7> the drivers menu says my ubuntu is using an alternative driver (intel-microcode). maybe I should try the Nvidia binary driver?
[15:37] <Giwrgaras> no
[15:37] <Giwrgaras> just a moment please
[15:38] <hfp> Hi all, I have a MacBookPro5,3 (mid-2009, core2duo, nvidia 9400+9600m gt) and I can't get any Ubuntu LiveCDs to boot. I get into the bootloader, choose Try Ubuntu or Install Ubuntu (tried both, same outcome). Ubuntu starts to load, I see the Ubuntu screen and it eventually hangs. The only way to get out of it is to reset the computer. What am I doing wrong? Is there an issue with this particular laptop/gfx car
[15:38] <hfp> d? I tried several Ubuntu versions, derivatives and ...
[15:38] <hfp> ... ISOs: always the same issue.
[15:38] <daftykins> hfp: is the disk blank or do you have an OS X on there?
[15:38] <B-Max> nevermind my previous question...bad test
[15:39] <Giwrgaras> http://pastebin.com/WHyAnd2u
[15:39] <daftykins> hfp: i don't think it likes seeing both cards.
[15:39] <Giwrgaras> thats the new one
[15:39] <OerHeks> F6F7, intel microcode is for intel CPU' s, nothing to do ith nvidia .. for your previous Q: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnableHibernateWithEncryptedSwap
[15:39] <Giwrgaras> i cant see it and ive upgraded my dist
[15:39] <daftykins> Giwrgaras: they're identical and show no wireless card
[15:39] <daftykins> Giwrgaras: try "lsusb"
[15:40] <hfp> daftykins: I have OS X installed. There is no way to turn off one card, it's one of those systems where you can switch between integrated for battery power or discrete for intensive applications. When I was running Windows, it could only every see the discrete card and I couldn't switch between integrated and discrete. As far as Win was concerned, there was only one gfx card in this system
[15:40] <F6F7> OerHeks: thanks for the link
[15:40] <daftykins> hfp: not turn off, you need to boot with nomodeset i think
[15:40] <Giwrgaras> http://pastebin.com/yzQPLJrg
[15:40] <Giwrgaras> yes it sees it now
[15:41] <Giwrgaras> netgear
[15:41] <daftykins> Giwrgaras: so it *is* a USB dongle plugged into the side...
[15:41] <Giwrgaras> i just plugged it
[15:41] <daftykins> what.
[15:41] <cfhowlett> !mac | hfp
[15:41] <Giwrgaras> and normally on the upper corner i have to see it right?
[15:41] <daftykins> Giwrgaras: we just spent the last 20 minutes identifying the device and you had it unplugged?
[15:42] <Giwrgaras> thats not the problem daftykins
[15:42] <Giwrgaras> it could see it from the first
[15:42] <Giwrgaras> but i cant choose a wifi
[15:42] <Giwrgaras> it is not working
[15:42] <EriC^^> *facepalm*
[15:42] <Giwrgaras> normally i have to be able to see it on the upper corner
[15:42] <daftykins> that doesn't even matter, you had it out the whole time and said it wasn't USB
[15:43]  * rypervenche pats daftykins on the shoulder.
[15:43] <hfp> cfhowlett: Is the "most recent release" column accurate on that link? Because it says that for 2009 MBPs, the latest is Karmic which is ancient AFAIK
[15:43] <daftykins> rypervenche: hold me!
[15:43] <daftykins> ;)
[15:44] <Giwrgaras> how can i make it work?
[15:44] <Giwrgaras> to be visible on the upper corner like a normal wifi usb devic
