[00:00] <SteinerU> I'm honestly not sure about the fat32 partition Eric^^
[00:00] <EriC^^> SteinerU: ok, type sudo parted -l
[00:00] <woozy> alright ill try now and let you know
[00:00] <EriC^^> paste it in paste.ubuntu.com
[00:01] <not_a_tiger> EriC^^: it says Swap: 0 0 0
[00:01] <SteinerU> This is what I got EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9889481/
[00:01] <gsilvapt> Does anyone knows if there is an open-source alternative to Adobe Freehand?
[00:01] <EriC^^> not_a_tiger: yeah no swap
[00:02] <EriC^^> not_a_tiger: did you run mkswap?
[00:02] <not_a_tiger> Nope. I thought it might be enough to just create a new swap partition  :-/
[00:03] <EriC^^> not_a_tiger: type sudo mkswap /dev/sdxY
[00:03] <EriC^^> where xY is the disk and partition
[00:06] <EriC^^> SteinerU: ok just out of curiosity type sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt
[00:06] <EriC^^> */dev/sda5
[00:06] <not_a_tiger> EriC^^: sudo fdisk -l # /dev/sda5        58722304    67106815     4192256   82  Linux swap / Solaris
[00:06] <EriC^^> not_a_tiger: ok, sudo mkswap /dev/sda5
[00:07] <SteinerU> Ok EriC^^, done. Doesn't look like anything happened.
[00:07] <EriC^^> not_a_tiger: then sudo swapon /dev/sda5
[00:07] <EriC^^> SteinerU: ok, type ls -l /mnt
[00:07] <EriC^^> what's in there?
[00:08] <EriC^^> EFI ?
[00:08] <SteinerU> EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9889582/
[00:08] <EriC^^> ok type ls -l /mnt/EFI/ubuntu/
[00:09] <EriC^^> i think you installed ubuntu in uefi mode, using a msdos disk
[00:09] <SteinerU> Ah. Well, when I go to the boot selector in my BIOS, it does list UEFI as one of the options
[00:10] <EriC^^> yeah you should select the usb in legacy mode
[00:10] <EriC^^> was windows booting?
[00:10] <SteinerU> Here's what I got in terminal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9889617/
[00:10] <SteinerU> Well, I could launch from the live disc USB but when selecting the hard drive it just asked me to select a proper boot device
[00:11] <deni_> brasil
[00:11] <EriC^^> SteinerU: ok
[00:12] <EriC^^> SteinerU: i'm curious if it would boot with msdos
[00:12] <EriC^^> SteinerU: type sudo efibootmgr -v
[00:12] <samthewildone> can someone lend me a hand @ this error > http://pastebin.com/rebVdU6U
[00:13] <samthewildone> I tried fixing this problem by reinstalling the application, finally the os.
[00:13] <SteinerU> Huh. It says "command not found" EriC^^
[00:14] <EriC^^> try sudo apt-get install efibootmgr
[00:14] <EriC^^> not_a_tiger: did you run swapon ?
[00:14] <samthewildone> The problem persist no matter what I attempt at getting it fixed.
[00:14] <EriC^^> not_a_tiger: you still have to add it to fstab
[00:15] <samthewildone> The error is also the same on ubuntu desktop && gnome ubuntu
[00:15] <samthewildone> I tried searching for a solution in goolge but, haven't found any information.
[00:15] <SteinerU> Oky EriC^^. The result I got was "Fatal: Couldn't open either sysfs or procfs directories for accessing EFI variables.' Try 'modprobe efivars' as root."
[00:16] <samthewildone> I tried reinstall & just did a "apt-get install libgstream*" and still nothing.
[00:16] <samthewildone> I even removed the program and reinstalled it again, again and again.
[00:16] <samthewildone> Do I have to install libgstreamer source and build it from there ?
[00:16] <EriC^^> SteinerU: try sudo modprobe efivars
[00:17] <EriC^^> SteinerU: i think the usb's booted in legacy mode right now
[00:17] <SteinerU> Er
[00:17] <SteinerU> I typed it and nothing happened
[00:17] <EriC^^> ok try sudo efibootmgr -v
[00:18] <samthewildone> anyone ?
[00:18] <SteinerU> Hmmm. Same fatal error as before
[00:19] <EriC^^> SteinerU: ok, we can reinstall grub to the mbr so it works with legacy mode
[00:19] <ewelina> SteinerU: Turn off EFI in bios and problem is solved :>
[00:20] <EriC^^> SteinerU: or you can see what happens if you choose uefi mode in the bios and see if it picks up the efi partition
[00:20] <not_a_tiger> EriC^^: Swap:         4093          0       4093
[00:20] <EriC^^> SteinerU: if you have time, give the uefi in bios a shot
[00:20] <SteinerU> Hmmm.
[00:21] <EriC^^> i'm kind of curious if it would even work
[00:21] <SteinerU> All right, well, I'll do that. How do I get back to this channel, in case it doesn't?
[00:21] <not_a_tiger> EriC^^: Thanks for the help
[00:21] <EriC^^> not_a_tiger: type sudo nano /etc/fstab , type sudo blkid in another terminal
[00:21] <EriC^^> not_a_tiger: you need to add it to fstab so it's persistent
[00:22] <EriC^^> SteinerU: boot the live usb
[00:22] <EriC^^> hold on
[00:22] <EriC^^> let's write to the mbr
[00:23] <EriC^^> type sudo umount /mnt
[00:23] <SteinerU> OK
[00:24] <EriC^^> SteinerU: type sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
[00:24] <SteinerU> Alright, done. What exactly did that do?
[00:24] <EriC^^> SteinerU: for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /run /sys; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
[00:24] <EriC^^> SteinerU: mounted the installation under /mnt
[00:24] <not_a_tiger> EriC^^: There is already an entry for swap in /etc/fstab
[00:25] <EriC^^> not_a_tiger: it's the old one
[00:25] <EriC^^> replace the uuid with the new uuid from sudo blkid
[00:25] <not_a_tiger> Different uuid ?
[00:25] <EriC^^> yeah
[00:26] <SteinerU> Odd. EriC^^, it just spits out "mount: not a directory"
[00:26] <imastupidguest> Does anyone know of a linux command that, given a file name, will report the number of lines in the file? Like they way 'file' can tell you the file type?
[00:27] <not_a_tiger> EriC^^: /etc/fstab # UUID=0f54c166-4f25-45d3-84ad-2f8c1ddb273f none            swap    sw              0       0
[00:27] <n88> alright getting ready to pull my hair out on this one... i've been trying to get my external USB netgear WNDA3100v2 to play nicely and it doesn't seem to want to work... I followed a thread that seemed to be the solution but now the only wireless network it will connect to is the guest network and it fails to connect to any networks that require authentication (WPA)... i've installed ndiswrapper and got the broadcom 64 bit .inf file installed with ndiswrapper -
[00:27] <EriC^^> imastupidguest: wc -l
[00:27] <ewelina> imastupidguest: wc -l or type
[00:27] <n88> here is some of the output that might be important: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9885727/
[00:27] <EriC^^> SteinerU: what's the exact command you typed?
[00:28] <SteinerU> EriC^^: sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i
[00:28] <imastupidguest> EriC^^: ewelina: Sweet! thx
[00:28] <SteinerU> I got confused by the first portion of the last line you sent to me
[00:28] <ewelina> n88: you need to install wpa_supplicant
[00:28] <EriC^^> SteinerU: you have to type the whole thing out
[00:28] <EriC^^> for i .... done
[00:28] <n88> ewelina: ok thanks... i'll look into that
[00:29] <n88> ewelina: it is already installed...
[00:29] <ewelina> n88 try connect from command line
[00:30] <not_a_tiger> eric is changing the uuid in fstab the last step?
[00:30] <EriC^^> yup
[00:30] <EriC^^> not_a_tiger: the line looks fine
[00:30] <not_a_tiger> EriC^^: Thanks. I won't be able to reboot for some time, but this is enough help to take care of me for now. Thank you.
[00:30] <imastupidguest> I'm not very good w/ shell scripting or whatever. Is there a way I can run wc -l recursively on the contents of my working dir? Is anyone willing to help w/ a command for it?
[00:30] <EriC^^> not_a_tiger: no problem
[00:31] <SteinerU> EriC^^: I literally typed "for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /run /sys; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i", then got a ">" prompt and typed "done"
[00:31] <SteinerU> Is that right?
[00:31] <EriC^^> imastupidguest: find . -exec wc -l '{}' \;
[00:32] <EriC^^> SteinerU: type the whole thing, with ; done
[00:32] <imastupidguest> EriC^^: Sweet! Thx man.
[00:32] <EriC^^> np
[00:33] <n88> ewelina: ... that actually worked
[00:33] <SteinerU> There we go
[00:33] <SteinerU> Well, nothing seems to have happened in the terminal EriC^^, but I assume typing that changed something
[00:33] <n88> ewelina: how come it won't work from the GUI panel
[00:33] <SteinerU> Now what?
[00:33] <EriC^^> SteinerU: ok, type sudo chroot /mnt
[00:33] <n88> ewelina: or better question...how do I get it to work from the network manager
[00:34] <EriC^^> then apt-get install grub-pc
[00:34] <df_> hello
[00:35] <df_> i had a question about ubuntu
[00:35] <NegativeFlare> df_: Ask away :P
[00:36] <ewelina> n88: try remove profile, NM and add again
[00:37] <ewelina> n88 it's should be works and be available from NM
[00:37] <SteinerU> It's listing three GRUB install devices EriC^^, "/dev/sda (500107 MB; ST3500g30AS", "/dev/sda3 (298499 MB; /) and "/dev/sda (15518 MB; 6387"
[00:37] <SteinerU> Which do I selecft?
[00:37] <docmur> I have an LVM volume that say that it needs to be checked.  I used tune2fs to set it for check at the next reboot, but twice in a row, it's failed to check the disk, how do I get this disk checked
[00:38] <EriC^^> the /dev/sda 50000MB
[00:38] <EriC^^> SteinerU: ^
[00:39] <SteinerU> Er, it's telling me I chose not to install grub to any devices
[00:39] <SteinerU> EriC^^: ^
[00:39] <EriC^^> hmm
[00:40] <EriC^^> SteinerU: try again
[00:40] <n88> ewelina: thanks it actually works now... good thing I spent a few hours trying to fix it when all i needed to do was delete the profile and try again :)
[00:40] <EriC^^> and paste what it's saying in paste.ubuntu.com
[00:41] <EriC^^> SteinerU: did the package install successfully?
[00:41] <ewelina> n88: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn2FB1P_Mn8  something like that :)
[00:42] <SteinerU> Well it's weird, because I get to the screen with those three options
[00:42] <EriC^^> SteinerU: choose to install to /dev/sda
[00:42] <SteinerU> I did
[00:42] <SteinerU> But it's telling me I chose not to install GRUB to anything
[00:42] <SteinerU> Odd
[00:43] <SteinerU> Like, it lets me select one of the devices. Hitting Shift or choosing sda with Enter gives me the same result
[00:43] <EriC^^> SteinerU: try the right arrow
[00:43] <EriC^^> or space
[00:44] <bruxC> trying to add bash commands but seem to be doing something wrong. was hoping someone could pick at my attempt?
[00:44] <SteinerU> AH
[00:44] <SteinerU> There we go. I feel like an idiot, EriC^^ lol
[00:45] <EriC^^> ok, great
[00:45] <bruxC> i've navigated to /home/user/.bash_aliases but it's empty; I added my bash commands and rebooted the server, doesn't seem to take. Is this the wrong dir?
[00:46] <SteinerU> If I restart the PC I should see the GRUB loader like before, right EriC^^?
[00:46] <EriC^^> SteinerU: did it mention Found linux ..... ?
[00:46] <EriC^^> and windows too
[00:46] <EriC^^> ?
[00:47] <SteinerU> Yep EriC^^
[00:47] <ewelina> bruxC Restarting server for reload .bash_aliases? So you can log out and log in again...
[00:47] <bruxC> ewelina, i don't follow I'm sorry. what's your question?
[00:48] <ewelina> bruxC So .bash_aliases is loaded from .bashrc so you can add your aliases into this file
[00:48] <EriC^^> bruxC: it should work, .bashrc uses them
[00:48] <bruxC> so the directory I went into is the incorrect one?
[00:48] <EriC^^> bruxC: type alias
[00:48] <ewelina> bruxC: or for global /etc/profile
[00:49] <EriC^^> bruxC: no .bash_aliases is fine
[00:49] <EriC^^> SteinerU: ok, cool
[00:49] <bruxC> EriC^^, the aliases I added aren't in this list when I typed 'aliases'
[00:49] <EriC^^> SteinerU: type exit
[00:49] <SteinerU> Done
[00:49] <SteinerU> Safe to reboot?
[00:49] <EriC^^> SteinerU: then try to restart if it doesn't work out use the live usb to get back on here
[00:49] <lurk_> sudo is my account password how do i find my su (root) password?
[00:50] <EriC^^> bruxC: you mean alias
[00:50] <lathiat> lurk_: Ubuntu does not have one by default
[00:50] <EriC^^> ?
[00:50] <bruxC> Yes, sorry.
[00:50] <bruxC> alias
[00:50] <lathiat> lurk_: generally you just use sudo
[00:50] <SteinerU> OK EriC^^. Hopefully it'll all go well.
[00:50] <ewelina> lurk_ you need change password first default is empty type sudo passwd
[00:50] <SteinerU> I appreciate the help. :)
[00:50] <EriC^^> SteinerU: no problem :)
[00:50] <lathiat> lurk_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[00:51] <explodes> That moment when you type your root password into a new window that opened up in front of the Terminal.
[00:51] <EriC^^> bruxC: how are you adding the aliases?
[00:52] <EriC^^> bruxC: alias bla='bla bla bla' ?
[00:52] <bruxC> how i did it was nano /home/user/.bash_aliases then as an example: alias transstop='sudo service transmission-daemon stop'
[00:52] <bruxC> I think my destination is wrong.
[00:53] <mynameisdeleted> has anyone heard of this site?
[00:53] <EriC^^> bruxC: type ls -ld /home/user/.bash_aliases
[00:54] <mynameisdeleted> https://www.4kdownload.com.... I did google search for 4k video downloader and imediately found it and it has ubuntu 64-bit packages for all software but I remember from the 90's sites that looked almost exactly like this were all spyware
[00:54] <ewelina> bruxC: and grep -E "bash_aliases" ~/.bashrc
[00:54] <mynameisdeleted> would be a shame to install spyware on a formerly spyware-free ubuntu bo
[00:54] <mynameisdeleted> box
[00:55] <daftykins> mynameisdeleted: well they're not official so they're not supported - totally at your own risk.
[00:56] <bruxC> # ~/.bash_aliases, instead of adding them here directly.
[00:56] <bruxC> if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then
[00:56] <bruxC>     . ~/.bash_aliases
[00:56] <EriC^^> bruxC: type ls -ld /home/user/.bash_aliases
[00:56] <bruxC> again?
[00:56] <mynameisdeleted> I could search for a ppa and see if they've been banned from making ppa's
[00:57] <EriC^^> you typed grep -E ..
[00:57] <bruxC> grep -E "bash_aliases" ~/.bashrc
[00:57] <EriC^^> yes
[00:57] <EriC^^> type ls -ld /home.....
[00:58] <bruxC> drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jan 25 23:29 /home
[00:58] <ewelina> bruxC: that correct  so you can try chmod +x ~/.bash_aliases
[00:58] <EriC^^> bruxC: type ls -ld /home/user/.bash_aliases
[00:58] <bruxC> first chmod then ls -ld etc. ?
[00:58] <EriC^^> bruxC: type ls -ld
[00:58] <mynameisdeleted> aftershot pro has no ppa nor does lightworks and they are both respectablew
[00:58] <EriC^^> for everything that's holy
[00:58] <EriC^^> sake
[00:59] <bruxC> drwx------ 5 root root 4096 Jan 26 19:38 .
[00:59] <EriC^^> oh crap
[00:59] <ewelina> ;)
[00:59] <EriC^^> i knew you were going to type that
[00:59] <EriC^^> lol
[00:59] <woozy> Hey im back...
[00:59] <EriC^^> bruxC: type ls -ld /home/user/.bash_aliases
[00:59] <woozy> Didn't go good. On phone now
[00:59] <bruxC> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 174 Jan 26 19:38 /home/user/.bash_aliases
[00:59] <EriC^^> bruxC: ok!
[01:00] <bruxC> should I not be providing the feedback?
[01:00] <ewelina> bruxC: ok you need to type chmod +x ~/.bash_aliases
[01:00] <EriC^^> sudo chown user: /home/user/.bash_aliases
[01:00] <bruxC> EriC^^, done.
[01:00] <bruxC> Is this a typical step or did I eff something up?
[01:01] <ewelina> EriC^^: this file is included from .bashrc and require to execute mode ;)
[01:01] <woozy> EriC^^: how I put an image for you to see?
[01:01] <EriC^^> bruxC: you ran sudo nano earlier
[01:01] <bruxC> most likely
[01:02] <bruxC> where shall i nano, vi, etc. into?
[01:02] <EriC^^> bruxC: ewelina no need for +x
[01:02] <EriC^^> bruxC: what do you mean
[01:02] <EriC^^> woozy: imgur.com
[01:02] <bruxC> so I may add bash commands
[01:02] <mynameisdeleted> any paid or free bluray authoring software for ubuntu?
[01:03] <mynameisdeleted> esp 4k bluray?
[01:03] <EriC^^> bruxC: functions?
[01:03] <bruxC> testfive='sudo service testfiveserverbeepbloopblopbleep stop'
[01:03] <bruxC> ^ bash commands.
[01:04] <EriC^^> bruxC: i think you mean alias
[01:04] <bruxC> yes. that's what i meant. sorry
[01:04] <mynameisdeleted> I see command-line tools for authoring unencrypted blu-ray... but was hoping for somethign like k3b
[01:04] <bruxC> I'm getting a tad confused and overwhelmed so i apologize.
[01:05] <EriC^^> yes, put them in ~/.bash_aliases as you did, just no need for sudo
[01:05] <bruxC> nano ~/.bash_aliases
[01:05] <EriC^^> bruxC: no worries
[01:05] <EriC^^> bruxC: yeah
[01:05] <bruxC> is it normal that there isn't anything in this file?
[01:05] <EriC^^> yeah
[01:05] <bruxC> Ok.
[01:05] <bruxC> Can you explain what happened and what we did?
[01:06] <bruxC> I'd like to try and at least understand what we went through. Perhaps my subconscious can cling on to it and use it as a learning experience.
[01:06] <EriC^^> bruxC: as the grep command shows, .bashrc checks if that file exists and uses it to add aliases you've set
[01:07] <bruxC> beyond me adding the aliases, is there anything else I need to do command wise?
[01:07] <EriC^^> grep bash_aliases ~/.bashrc will show you the part the looks for it and adds it
[01:07] <woozy> EriC^^: http://imgur.com/zGJJKir
[01:08] <EriC^^> bruxC: it's up to you
[01:08] <woozy> That's how I have it set up and I got an error on reboot after install
[01:08] <bruxC> I mean as a requirement.
[01:08] <bruxC> if I add an alias, do I need to stop a service and restart it, reboot the server; that sort of thing?
[01:09] <EriC^^> woozy: what was the error?
[01:09] <EriC^^> woozy: it looks good
[01:09] <ewelina> bruxC: no this aliases is loaded when you login
[01:09] <EriC^^> ah wait that's the installer?
[01:09] <EriC^^> thought it was gparted at first
[01:10] <woozy> error file '/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found
[01:10] <EriC^^> woozy: you need to set the mountpoints
[01:10] <bruxC> EriC^^, transstart: command not found
[01:10] <woozy> Then went into grub rescue mode or something.
[01:10] <EriC^^> bruxC: did you login ?
[01:10] <EriC^^> type sudo login user
[01:10] <woozy> I had them set then did the install
[01:10] <ewelina> bash ~/.bash_aliases
[01:10] <woozy> I'll retry
[01:11] <EriC^^> woozy: hold on
[01:11] <EriC^^> are you in the live usb right now?
[01:11] <dataviznoob> hi all, quick question.. not sure if this is possible but it would be really cool....  is it possible to pipe output to the buffer for pasting?  i.e. `cat newfile > BUFFER` then ctrl+v to paste it?
[01:11] <bruxC> Hey look at that, it works.
[01:12] <bruxC> EriC^^, thank you. :)
[01:12] <EriC^^> bruxC: no problem :)
[01:12] <woozy> OK Eric I redid the mount points let me send another pic
[01:13] <EriC^^> dataviznoob: xsel can select stuff that's highlighted on the screen
[01:13] <n88> so... now that i've got a fresh install of ubuntu 12.04 I installed skype and it does nothing but intermittently freeze and unfreeze... has anyone experienced this before?
[01:13] <n88> ubuntu 14.04**
[01:13] <daftykins> which skype?
[01:13] <EriC^^> dataviznoob: yup, if you pipe it to xsel it'll end up in the buffer
[01:13] <EriC^^> dataviznoob: cat <file> | xsel
[01:13] <n88> i think its the latest version of skype... let me check
[01:14] <dataviznoob> sweet!  ive nver really used xsel
[01:14] <dataviznoob> thanks for the heads-up!
[01:14] <daftykins> n88: where from?
[01:14] <n88> linux-beta-ubuntu64
[01:14] <daftykins> default repos?
[01:14] <n88> from here: http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-linux/downloading/?type=ubuntu64
[01:14] <daftykins> yeah you're doing it wrong
[01:14] <Stanley00> dataviznoob: there's also xclip http://stackoverflow.com/questions/749544/pipe-to-from-clipboard
[01:14] <dataviznoob> \o/
[01:14] <n88> what... is the better option
[01:14] <woozy> http://imgur.com/qCj9ZSf
[01:14] <daftykins> it's meant to be in the default repos

[01:15] <EriC^^> woozy: choose /dev/sda as the bootloader installation
[01:15] <mytruehero> Hello - I'm not able to get a script (/etc/init.d/unicorn) to start on boot; I've run "sudo update-rc.d unicorn defaults", and the script works when I run it manually ("/etc/init.d/unicorn start"), but if I reboot, the service isn't running. How can I debug?
[01:16] <EriC^^> woozy: also it seems there's already an installation there? did you backup your home and stuff?
[01:16] <woozy> The ata Toshiba one?
[01:16] <n88> daftykins: so.. remove from the software center and then apt-get install skype ?
[01:16] <EriC^^> woozy: yes
[01:16] <daftykins> worth a try
[01:17] <woozy> I tried the fresh install like you mentioned before and got the error. Think it was because I had bootloader on sda1
[01:19] <Nixus> when I press the power button, my laptop does an instant restart. please, any help? thanks
[01:19] <EriC^^> woozy: yeah that would do that
[01:19] <woozy> So if I do it now with sda selected as bootloader the previous install shouldn't get in the way?
[01:20] <EriC^^> i dont know
[01:20] <EriC^^> if you have everything backed up
[01:20] <EriC^^> maybe just choose to format the root partition
[01:20] <mynameisdeleted> tsmuxer, mencoder, and dvd+rw+tools can author BR under ubuntui
[01:21] <woozy> OK formating the root and I have /home on exthd
[01:21] <woozy> Don't format /home? Just /
[01:21] <EriC^^> yeah
[01:22] <kat_> I am trying to upgrade from 14.04 to Unicorn and I used the startup disc creator with the .iso from ubuntu and when I boot from USB it says there is a missing file something about something 32.
[01:22] <woozy> I'm trying it
[01:23] <EriC^^> kat_: did you checksum the iso?
[01:23] <kangar00> hi guys and girls
[01:23] <kat_> EriC^^ did I what?
[01:24] <Nixus> kangar00: go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:24] <k1l_> kat_: why dont you use the online upgrade from 14.04 to 14.10?
[01:24] <EriC^^> !md5sum | kat_
[01:24] <EriC^^> kat_: ^^ yeah the upgrading is pretty reliable
[01:27] <kat_> EriC^^ I did the MD5 checksum with the first link you provided me and it all checks out
[01:28] <dgirsh> I'm wondering if it is possible to run a kernel for Debian (say, linux-image-3.2.0-4-rt-amd64) on Ubuntu
[01:28] <EriC^^> what's the exact error you're getting?
[01:28] <EriC^^> kat_: ^
[01:28] <dgirsh> Is it as easy as just building it locally?
[01:29] <kat_> EriC^^ I don't know the exact error as it happens when I boot. Let me do this again and I'll write it down.
[01:29] <kangar00> Nixus: nobody answers me on ubuntu-offtopic. can you give me a quick answer if multiple php-fpm pools use more ram (e.g. num-pools*ram-per-pool instead of 1*ram-per-pool)
[01:31] <Nixus> I have no idea.. sorry
[01:32] <Nixus> I have a beginner question of my own still waiting to be answered...
[01:33] <jeffrey_f> kangar00: It's actually each apache thread.  Unless your PHP script is doing some outrageous iterations to huge arrays, the PHP scripts are usually short lived and apache gives the memory back to the system almost immediately
[01:33] <RedheadedCupcake> EriC^^ it says Missing parameter in configuration file keyword: path gfxboot.c32 not a com32 image
[01:34] <BLZbubba> hello my laptop works great with hibernate but suspend fails every time.  what is the best way to replace all the suspend operations with hibernate?
[01:34] <EriC^^> RedheadedCupcake: is it a 32 bit machine?
[01:34] <kangar00> but with multiple pools I get several processes started. should I use ondemand instead of dynamic?
[01:34] <kangar00> so then no procs are started unless a request is made
[01:35] <RedheadedCupcake> EriC^^ I don't know I went to "about this computer" and it says it's a 64 bit machine and I downloaded the 64 bit iso
[01:35] <EriC^^> RedheadedCupcake: ok, it seems to be a bug but there's an easy workaround http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2249701
[01:37] <Nixus> anyone know of a way for me to get help?
[01:37] <kangar00> jeffrey_f: nevermind. i figured it out. seems ondemand works bc it starts no procs. but if a bunch of pools get requests i'd run out of RAM probbaly bc I only have 128MB. so ill stick to one pool
[01:37] <xangua> !ask | Nixus
[01:37] <Stanley00> Nixus: did you try reconfig it in power options?
[01:38] <Nixus> reconfig? you mean change the action?
[01:38] <xtpeeps> Via /msg nickserv identify 1236
[01:39] <Stanley00> Nixus: yes, kind of... :3
[01:39] <xtpeeps> ←←
[01:39] <xtpeeps> TT
[01:39] <Nixus> yes...
[01:46] <n88> ah thats unfortunate...purged skype and re-installed the 32 bit version I think... still does nothing but intermittently freeze and unfreeze
[01:48] <bruxC> so i have a secondary drive mounted in my ubuntu server in fstab. is there a way to make it visible on my home network?
[01:48] <Twinfun> Hi! I have a problem installing a package expecting some lib files to be installed, but for some reason the lib files are not being placed where the package claims they should be placed. The package in question is libstdc++6.
[01:50] <woozy> So in my install is been at creating ext4 file system blah blah for like 20 minutes and it's never done this before?
[01:52] <jeffrey_f> woozy: how big is the drive and did you choose to encrypt that drive?
[01:53] <yusuf> anyone, how to add ssh-key automatically to ssh-agent ?
[01:53] <yusuf> i think my gnome-keyring didn't work
[01:53] <woozy> The whole computer is 620gb but it's never taken this long before
[01:53] <yusuf> and now, every i rebooted i must add my key manually to ssh-agent ._.
[01:54] <jeffrey_f> woozy: Disk activity?
[02:00] <woozy> Should I shut down mid install?
[02:04] <woozy> Jeffrey_f: how do I look at that? Doesn't sound like anything is going on
[02:18] <jkclaro> hi guys. can anyone help with a problem I'm having with Linux
[02:22] <woozy> Hey guys my install isn't working
[02:24] <consolidated> ask the question fully and hopefully someone can help
[02:26] <woozy> When I try to install Ubuntu it keeps getting stuck at creating ext4 file system
[02:32] <cromagi> I have a dell inspiron 53have an ethernet cable0s and i just installed ubuntu on it but i cant seem to get ubuntu to recognized my wireless router. I have the wireless chip in and i DO NOT
[02:32] <cromagi> Can anyone help me?
[02:33] <MannyLNJ> Hi, I'm back with yet another printing problem, CUPS seems to work because I can print from my Windows based systems to a printer on my Ubuntu system. Printing from OS X is not successful. The spooler says Stopped on server - Rendering completed
[02:33] <cromagi> MannyLNJ: Do you think you can help with my problem?
[02:33] <cromagi> Do i need some kind of libs for my wireless router
[02:34] <MannyLNJ> cromagi, I know very little when it comes to ubuntu and other *nix distros Sorry.
[02:34] <cromagi> I cant connect to internet :'(
[02:34] <cromagi> Google cant even help me
[02:34] <MannyLNJ> cromagi, This is standard off the shelf router?
[02:35] <cromagi> Well the router itself is in my dads room
[02:35] <cromagi> I just have a wireless adapter
[02:35] <cromagi> I cant seem to get ubuntu to recognize it
[02:36] <MannyLNJ> cromagi, so the problem is not with the router but with the card?
[02:36] <bruxC> I'm just a little cub learning linux. I created a samba for a secondary ntfs-3g drive currently mounted in my ubuntu server. Is it possible to set it up to where I can have windows users authenticate with a username/pw. upon authentication then have full access to the shared cifs?
[02:36] <cromagi> Yes
[02:37] <cromagi> And i just reinstalled windows just to see if it was my card but wifi was flawless on windows
[02:37] <cromagi> what do i need to do to get it working on ubuntu??
[02:37] <MannyLNJ> cromagi, ok first what card is it?
[02:37] <cromagi> I dont even know
[02:38] <MannyLNJ> cromagi without knowing what card it is I can't help.
[02:40] <Bashing-om> cromagi: A quicky, connect wired -> sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade ; open "additional Drivers" and install the wireless driver .
[02:41] <nickmane> hi. can anyone tell me how to set up a remote desktop on an ubuntu dedicated server?
[02:41] <nickmane> vps sorry
[02:42] <cromagi> will that all work without internet?

[02:43] <suprleg> ?J #LINUXPEOPLE
[02:43] <GatoLoko> suprleg: do not write in all caps, it is against the rules. Next time you will be expelled.
[02:43] <Bashing-om> cromagi: NO, why I say connect to a wired connection .
[02:43] <MannyLNJ> cromagi, no you need internet to do it
[02:43] <cromagi> I dont have internet
[02:43] <MannyLNJ> cromagi, then how are you typing to us?
[02:43] <cromagi> my laptop running ubuntu with wifi
[02:44] <MannyLNJ> cromagi, what kind of computer is the other one?
[02:44] <cromagi> dell inspiron 530s
[02:44] <Bashing-om> cromagi: By far the best thing is take that box to a wired connection .. else it gets real hairy to install a WIFI driver .
[02:44] <MannyLNJ> cromagi, did that have wifi built in?
[02:44] <cromagi> can i use usb tehter with my phone?
[02:44] <nickmane> MannyLNJ: right now i only have ssh access
[02:45] <woozy> My install keeps getting stuck at creating ext4 file system. Any suggestions?
[02:46] <cromagi> will usb tethering work
[02:46] <MannyLNJ> cromagi, Depends on your phone... Also did you read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1859527
[02:47] <LordFoobar> hi! when I visit the page http://time.is/ it tells me that my clock is 3.6 seconds behind. I try to refresh the system clock (as it's supposed to sync with a ntp) but it does not work. I have followed all the answers here : http://askubuntu.com/questions/254826/how-to-force-a-clock-update-using-ntp but it does not work
[02:48] <nickmane> hi. can anyone tell me how to set up a remote desktop on an ubuntu vps with ssh access?
[02:48] <LordFoobar> why is the clock so out of sync, even when using ntp?
[02:48] <MannyLNJ> nickmane, try this guide http://c-nergy.be/blog/?p=5305 it helped me setup remote desktop on a laptop that has a damaged lcd.
[02:49] <woozy> My install keeps getting stuck at creating ext4 file system. Any suggestions
[02:49] <MannyLNJ> nickmane, I'm just assuming that my situation was evquviliant to a virtual private server
[02:49] <LordFoobar> woozy, are you using the automatic partitioning or are you going manual?
[02:50] <nickmane> MannyLNJ: do i need special sources? "E: Unable to locate package xrdp"
[02:50] <MannyLNJ> nickmane, I don't think so.
[02:50] <woozy> I'm using partioning I did. Nothing crazy just /, swap,  and /home
[02:51] <Bashing-om> woozy: MBR or GPT partitions ? Maybe IF MBR there is that 4 primary partition limit, and one has to resize/remove partitions for ubuntu to install onto (???) .
[02:52] <nickmane> MannyLNJ: can you pastebin your sources?
[02:52] <woozy> Bashing-om: I don't know what you mean. I just followed what people told me before and it's getting stuck
[02:52] <LordFoobar> woozy, BTW following what Bashing-om said, Ubuntu does not care for primary or logical partions... unlike MS
[02:52] <MannyLNJ> nickmane, yes if you tell me how
[02:53] <nickmane> MannyLNJ: cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:53] <LordFoobar> woozy, are you dual (or multi) booting?
[02:53] <Bashing-om> woozy: show the channel -> sudo fdisk -lu | pastebinit . so we know what we are working with .
[02:53] <nickmane> MannyLNJ: nvm, it's working now. i needed to update/upgrade
[02:53] <woozy> No just straight installing Ubuntu
[02:54] <MannyLNJ> nickmane, glad to hear that because I was going to have to learn how to to specify a different name when I ssh
[02:55] <bruxC> so I have a secondary ntfs-3g fstab mounted and I have it currently being used as a samba shared drive. if I just chmod 777 /file/location/of/drive am I good to go with full permissions on the home network?
[02:56] <cromagi> what commands do i run again?
[02:56] <bruxC> Ideally, I'd like users to authenticate with an account, either created in ubuntu or an existing account in windows.
[02:56] <bruxC> And by users on my home network, I pretty much mean just me.
[03:00] <emanuellevy__> Still unable to print from OS X to the shared printer on a UBNTU system., This is the error message I think http://paste.linuxassist.net/view/d375a9f1
[03:02] <woozy> Hey sorry I got booted off
[03:03] <woozy> I'm still stuck at creating ext4 file system thing
[03:04] <woozy> Anyone?
[03:04] <tinogom> hi
[03:05] <woozy> Hey could you help?
[03:06] <jonalmeida> Has anyone else had problems resetting the root password?
[03:06] <somsip> jonalmeida: there is no root password. What are you trying to do?
[03:06] <xangua> jonalmeida: there is no root password
[03:06] <jonalmeida> When I try to SSH to my box with root, the password doesn't work.
[03:06] <jonalmeida> What?
[03:06] <somsip> jonalmeida: ssh by root should be disabled by default
[03:06] <somsip> jonalmeida: ssh as a user, then use sudo to access root
[03:06] <woozy> Can someone help me solve my install problem
[03:07] <somsip> woozy: just be a little patient. Constantly asking is not necessary
[03:07] <jalmeida> somsip: Yeah, that's what I do now, but if I had an authorized_key in my /root/.ssh/ I should be able to right?
[03:08] <somsip> jalmeida: no, root login is disabled by default
[03:08] <woozy> Sorry I've just been on here for awhile and have tried and bunch with no prevail.
[03:08] <jalmeida> I remember being able to do this before
[03:08] <jalmeida> Doesn't seem to work now
[03:08] <somsip> woozy: I've seen. So have most other people I imagine. By all means ask, but I'd suggest you make it less often
[03:08] <jalmeida> Maybe that was implemented by my VPS host?
[03:09] <somsip> jalmeida: are you running ubuntu, connecting to ubuntu, or both?
[03:10] <jonalmeida> somsip: I'm running Ubuntu and connecting to a remote Ubuntu box
[03:10] <somsip> jonalmeida: so how are you connecting?
[03:11] <jonalmeida> ssh
[03:11] <somsip> jonalmeida: command line is...(remove sensitive info)? Is the server sshd_config set to allow root login?
[03:12] <jonalmeida> somsip: Standard way: ssh root@[ip]
[03:12] <jonalmeida> I'm actually not sure about the latter.
[03:13] <jonalmeida> I've cycled down the box now to do a snapspot
[03:13] <somsip> jonalmeida: probably best to check it then
[03:13] <jonalmeida> If I screw it up, I'll have a backup
[03:13] <jonalmeida> Give me a few minutes
[03:17] <al_nz1> tey guy in this forum (http://www.programmingforums.org/post247908.html#post247908) uses #!/bin/gawk -f
[03:17] <al_nz1> I installed gawk - but it still complains about bad interpreter - I didnt even think gawk was a interpreter
[03:18] <ki7rw> oh well, i guess i'm stuck with the noveau driver for now since i can't get any of the nvidia drivers to work
[03:21] <cromagi> where do i find "additional drivers" in ubuntu?
[03:22] <ki7rw> system settings->software
[03:22] <MannyLNJ> I'm having trouble finding a guide to show me how to connect to a printer on a ubuntu system from OS X
[03:24] <Creedal> sup
[03:30] <jalmeida> somsip: You were right, it was the sshd_config :)
[03:30] <jalmeida> somsip: Needed to comment out PermitRootLogin without-password
[03:30] <jalmeida> Cheers!
[03:31] <somsip> jalmeida: np
[03:32] <somsip> jalmeida: but you do understand that's a very ugly and unsafe thing to do...
[03:36] <jalmeida> somsip: For sure, I just needed this temporarily while I do some updates
[03:37] <jalmeida> Getting shell access straight to root is faster
[03:38] <MannyLNJ> I am banging my head against the wall. I am having a problem printing to my ubuntu system from OS X can someone please assist me. I can't figure where to start troubleshooting
[03:38] <LurkAshFlake> i installed a program where to i find it?
[03:38] <LurkAshFlake> i mean the actual folder
[03:39] <jalmeida> LurkAshFlake: Which program? and how did you install it?
[03:39] <somsip> jalmeida: ssh as user then sudo -i, but your server, your call
[03:39] <jalmeida> LurkAshFlake: Some applications are stored in /opt/
[03:39] <LurkAshFlake> cd ~ && wget -0 - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64" | tar │
[03:39] <LurkAshFlake> xzf -
[03:40] <somsip> LurkAshFlake: ~/.Dropbox and ~/.dropbox-dist from memory
[03:40] <jalmeida> somsip: That's lengthy when I have multiple shells :)
[03:40] <LurkAshFlake> what does ~ mean
[03:40] <jalmeida> Yep somsip is right about the dir ^
[03:40] <jalmeida> LurkAshFlake: Home directory
[03:41] <LurkAshFlake> as in cd /home ?
[03:42] <jalmeida> cd /home/[your_login_name]
[03:42] <somsip> LurkAshFlake: as in 'cd' on its own
[03:42] <jalmeida> If you're not sure do echo $HOME
[03:50] <cromagi> anyone here?
[03:50] <cromagi> That can help me
[03:50] <somsip> cromagi: ask your question
[03:51] <cromagi> okay when i go to additional drivers to select my wireless adapter, i click on it but it says this device is not working
[03:51] <somsip> cromagi: no idea myself. I know nothing about wireless so you'll have to see if someone else responds
[03:52] <cromagi> ok hopefully they will
[03:52] <cromagi> Will sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:52] <cromagi> install device drivers?
[03:52] <MannyLNJ> cromagi, did you look at the post I made earlier?
[03:52] <cromagi> yes i did
[03:52] <somsip> cromagi: it will upgrade any installed packages that need an upgrade
[03:52] <cromagi> oh ok
[03:53] <cromagi> How do i get my wireless adapter to work then
[03:54] <cromagi> this is so annoying
[03:54] <MannyLNJ> cromagi, I'm sorry you are having wireless issues. I can emphasize because I am having printing issues
[03:55] <cromagi> at least you can connect to internet
[03:55] <cromagi> lol
[03:55] <MannyLNJ> cromagi, does lspci show anything?
[03:55] <cromagi> yes
[03:57] <MannyLNJ> cromagi, what does it show?
[04:12] <LurkAshFlake> I apt-get install wine, then an EULA appeared i didn't knew how to accept it so I left, now it won't install again or get remove it is lock
[04:13] <Stanley00> LurkAshFlake: apt-get install -f will help
[04:14] <woozy> My Ubuntu install keeps getting stuck at creating ext4 file system any ideas? Idk why it's doing ya
[04:14] <MannyLNJ> woozy, how large is the drive and what type?
[04:15] <reisio> woozy: try the minimalcd installer instead
[04:15] <woozy> My computer in total is around 640gb but it's never taken this long for some reason
[04:15] <reisio> maybe your constant reinstalling has finally worn it out :p
[04:16] <woozy> The partitions I have set up are 2 ext4s one is / @ 50gb and the other is /home @ 570ish gb
[04:17] <reisio> woozy: try the minimalcd installer instead
[04:17] <reisio> or just make your partitions and filesystems manually from the non-installer area of the install media
[04:17] <woozy> Then there is 12gb swap. Well I've only been reinstalling because it messed up
[04:18] <woozy> Where would I find the minimalcd installer and what's the difference?  I made the partitions manually and it isn't working, but that's from Inside the installer
[04:19] <reisio> it's an entirely separate installer, AFAIK; so the same bugs would be unlikely
[04:19] <reisio> what messed up before the reinstall?
[04:20] <reisio> you can find it pretty simply by seeking it out
[04:23] <woozy> I set my /home to be encrypted and it put /home on root and boot partition. Asked people how to move and they said simplest way would be to just reinstall
[04:23] <reisio> ah, so you were given bad advice
[04:23] <reisio> happens
[04:24] <reisio> encryption is rather nice these days
[04:24] <reisio> 'specially if your processor is not particularly old, and can absorb the overhead
[04:24] <woozy> So there was a simpler way... The only problem I was having was I didn't like the entering password every boot
[04:25] <reisio> why were you rebooting?
[04:25] <woozy> I thought there'd be an easier way that I could move /home but they said just reinstall and set up own partitions like that. Updates and such
[04:26] <woozy> Do you think the fact that my ext4s in total are over 600gb?just taking a long time maybe?
[04:26] <reisio> not unless you're doing it oddly/wrong
[04:27] <reisio> are you encrypting again?
[04:27] <Ben64> encryption is not really necessary and makes things more difficult
[04:27] <reisio> reinstalling is frequently for tourists; not always, but frequently
[04:27] <redruum> reisio: encryption is a waste. Most closed source has backdoors the programmers were forced by the NSA to install or the keys. Open-source is safer. But you would cry the password like a sissy to the feds under pressure.
[04:27] <reisio> Ben64: what isn't not really necessary :)
[04:27] <LurkAshFlake> Configuring ttf-mscorefonts-installer i have an eula to accept the graphic in my terminal are different it's written <Ok> at the bottom, how do i acept it?
[04:27] <reisio> redruum: Ubuntu is open source
[04:27] <Ben64> redruum: don't do the FUD here
[04:28] <woozy> No not encrypting this time
[04:28] <Finetundra> why would my laptop suddenly be running hot on ubuntu?
[04:29] <woozy> And I don't think I'm doing anything odd but then again I'm a bit of a noob
[04:29] <LurkAshFlake> solved.
[04:29] <reisio> woozy: making filesystems should take a moment or two
[04:29] <reisio> Finetundra: because all laptops run hot
[04:29] <Finetundra> reisio, is there a way to at least lower it then?
[04:31] <reisio> Finetundra: improve drivers, decrease usage, increase ventilation/cooling, turn off
[04:31] <reisio> replace with more efficient model (will still get hot)
[04:31] <reisio> replace with "netbook" (portable wireless terminal)
[04:31] <reisio> or merely use as a netbook, regardless of form factor
[04:32] <Finetundra> reisio, why do you suggest a netbook?
[04:34] <woozy> Well something is definitely wrong than. I've left it go for awhile a couple times
[04:36] <woozy> I guess I'll just shut it off and leave it off for the night, then tomorrow try to install Ubuntu again, but I'll let it reformat and do everything it's way.
[04:38] <courttv> woozy: You can beat the machine
[04:38] <woozy> Courttv: how so???
[04:38] <courttv> You are smarter than the computer woozy
[04:43] <woozy> Well I'm trying. So there is definitely a way to make /home it's own separate partition after install?
[04:43] <Ben64> woozy: much easier to do during, but yes
[04:44] <woozy> Well it isn't going to smoothly trying to do during install
[04:44] <Ben64> whats the issue?
[04:44] <woozy> Ben64: getting stuck at creating ext4 file system thing
[04:44] <courttv> woozy: it usually default installs creating a home partition.
[04:46] <woozy> But does it make it completely separate from the root partition and others. From what I read if you make /home it's own partition when you update os or switch, it won't be affected.
[04:47] <ahr3n> hey, will a 2xCPU ubuntu box work if I have nginx, node.js and mongoDB all on the same cloud server?
[04:47] <Ben64> woozy: it does not by default. separate /home is nice. does it fail at partitioning or...?
[04:47] <woozy> Well I'm just going to call it a night.
[04:49] <woozy> When I did the default install last time I encrypted my /home thinking it'd be a good idea and idk if it was separate or not. I came on here to get help on making it not encrypted and separate and they said just fresh install and make positions like this...
[04:49] <woozy> I followed and just got problems.
[04:52] <ChronicChops> personally, I'd just backup my data and do a fresh install, this time not choosing the encryption option
[04:52] <woozy> My main goals are to a.) get Ubuntu working. B.) have a separate non-encrypted /home partition c.) restore the /home I have saved on external hard drive. I'll be back on in 7 or 8 hours of anyone is going to be on and could help
[04:53] <ChronicChops> what problems did you run into
[04:53] <ChronicChops> ?
[04:53] <courttv> woozy: You can't reinstall over an encrypted partition. You need to format it to remove the encryption.
[04:53] <Ben64> probably too late for me woozy, but i'm sure someone will be here
[04:53] <Xenos1> anyone have experience using tilem
[04:54] <courttv> Xenos1: Using what
[04:55] <woozy> Courttv: I've tried formatting partitions when installing. I'm out for the night.
[04:55] <Xenos1> tilem2 graphing calculator emulator
[04:56] <ChronicChops> blockdude is where its at
[04:56] <Ben64> Xenos1: what is your actual question
[04:56] <courttv> Xenos1: no
[04:57] <cromagi> How do i theme ubuntu and make it look exactly how i want it?
[04:57] <Ben64> !theme | cromagi
[04:57] <cromagi> i meant the app bar and what not
[04:58] <cromagi> How do i apply themes i install?
[04:59] <ChronicChops> I think the stock app bar can be edited via the system settings menu
[05:03] <ChronicChops> cromagi: or just use a different dock like docky, I know docky is a lot more customizable
[05:03] <cromagi> whats docky and how to get it
[05:03] <cromagi> Will it slow down my system
[05:03] <cromagi> >>
[05:04] <ChronicChops> docky is just a docking program, just an app bar that you can download from the ubuntu software center
[05:05] <lotuspsychje> !info docky | cromagi
[05:05] <ChronicChops> I'm not sure on the consumption of cpu by docky but I can't imagine it is heavy
[05:06] <cromagi> I want to be able to customize ubuntu to the max without resulting in a laggy system
[05:06] <cromagi> How do i achieve that :)
[05:06] <cromagi> Anything reccomended?
[05:06] <lotuspsychje> cromagi: install preload and bleachbit aswell
[05:06] <cfhowlett> cromagi, more eyecandy = more system demand = slower system.  your choice
[05:07] <cromagi> I just want it to be attractive
[05:07] <cromagi> lotuspsychje: how do i do that
[05:08] <lotuspsychje> cromagi: checkout deviantart for attractive desktop examples on ubuntu
[05:08] <courttv> cromagi: ha
[05:08] <ChronicChops> cromagi: there are a lot of things you can do to customize it; different desktop environments, window managers, etc.
[05:08] <lotuspsychje> cromagi: sudo apt-get install preload
[05:08] <lotuspsychje> cromagi: same for bleachbit
[05:08] <cromagi> what do they do?
[05:09] <lotuspsychje> cromagi: preload helps fasten up things, bleachbit cleans out your system
[05:09] <cromagi> y do i need those
[05:09] <lotuspsychje> cromagi: you just told us you want a smooth system...
[05:09] <cromagi> where do i get good eyecandy for ubuntu?
[05:10] <cromagi> i want my ubuntu to look tasty lmao and nowt slow down my system but ill def. run preload
[05:10] <cromagi> how do i run preload?
[05:10] <courttv> cromagi: for UNITY. Nowhere.
[05:10] <lotuspsychje> cromagi: instaed of asking questions, follow howto install first
[05:10] <cromagi> What?
[05:11] <lotuspsychje> cromagi: do you read whats been suggested?
[05:11] <cromagi> No
[05:11] <cromagi> Where?
[05:12] <lotuspsychje> cromagi: scroll up..
[05:12] <cromagi> ok
[05:13] <cromagi> Best flavor of ubuntu? :D
[05:13] <lotuspsychje> !flavors | cromagi
[05:13] <cromagi> what do you consider the best?
[05:14] <lotuspsychje> cromagi: thats your choice mate, if you want lightweight or not?
[05:14] <cromagi> I tried kubuntu and i didnt like it that much i couldnt run spotify etc...
[05:14] <cromagi> I want running smooth
[05:14] <cromagi> But i love the normal ubuntu
[05:14] <k1l_> cromagi: its your choice. look at them or test them and get your own opinion.
[05:14] <cromagi> I want something EXACTLY like this but a different environment
[05:15] <k1l_> cromagi: that doesnt make any sense. if you want exactly this, then use this
[05:15] <cromagi> Ugh nevermind
[05:15] <cromagi> Aside from that how do i enable third party sources for ubuntu upgrade
[05:15] <k1l_> !ppa | cromagi
[05:16] <NegativeFlare> cromagi: I like Xubuntu. Just putting my input out there lol
[05:17] <NegativeFlare> cromagi: It works just fine with Spotify
[05:18] <cromagi> is it a bad idea to go from 14.04 to 14.10
[05:18] <ChronicChops> cromagi: if you want light, then xubuntu or lubuntu is designed for lightness. The more flair you have with your system, the more bogged down your system will be
[05:18] <lotuspsychje> cromagi: that also depends what you want, LTS or not
[05:19] <cromagi> im a dev
[05:19] <NegativeFlare> I'm still unhappy with XMir, it doesn't work at all with my GPU :/
[05:20] <reisio> don't use it?
[05:20] <cromagi> why doesnt lemme upgrade ubuntu -_-
[05:20] <k1l_> NegativeFlare: its still in development
[05:20] <k1l_> cromagi: do you want to upgrade every 6 months?
[05:20] <NegativeFlare> k1l_: But doesn't Utopic use it?
[05:21] <lotuspsychje> !xmir | NegativeFlare
[05:21] <k1l_> NegativeFlare: no.
[05:21] <cromagi> I am definately going to upgrade to 15.04 in april
[05:21] <NegativeFlare> lotuspsychje: You don't need to do that. I already know about it.
[05:21] <RahulAN> Hii all
[05:21] <k1l_> NegativeFlare: not until you run the mir testing iso
[05:21] <RahulAN> i upgraded my system from 12.04 to 14.04
[05:21] <NegativeFlare> k1l_: Alright man, thanks. I was under the impression that Utopic was using it.
[05:22] <RahulAN> now as i restart it no screen appears only a screen with ubuntu comes
[05:22] <RahulAN> i did alt + cntl + F1
[05:22] <cromagi> Third party sources disabled
[05:22] <cromagi> Some third party entries in your sources.list were disabled. You can re-enable them after the upgrade with the 'software-properties' tool or your package manager.
[05:22] <cromagi> when i try to upgrade i get that ^^
[05:22] <lotuspsychje> RahulAN: did you try grub recoverymode?
[05:22] <k1l_> cromagi: that is all fine
[05:23] <RahulAN> lotuspsychje, yes i tried
[05:23] <k1l_> cromagi: enable them afterwards again
[05:23] <cromagi> how tho
[05:23] <lotuspsychje> RahulAN: no luck to boot?
[05:23] <RahulAN> and also my networl manager stopped
[05:23] <k1l_> cromagi: see system settings, updates and software
[05:23] <lotuspsychje> RahulAN: maybe try 'fix broken packages' option from recoverymode
[05:23] <RahulAN> lotuspsychje, i am getting terminal after alt + cntl + F1
[05:24] <cromagi> what changes to we expect to see in ubuntu 15.04?
[05:24] <RahulAN> lotuspsychje, ok
[05:24] <lotuspsychje> cromagi: join #ubuntu+1 for that
[05:25] <reisio> cromagi: more recent Debian unstable snapshots of software, mostly, I'd wager
[05:25] <cromagi> how did i get pulled into the courttv channel -_-
[05:25] <reisio> ikr
[05:29] <MarkusDB1> If you really know your bash, is the command line a more efficient way for file operations?
[05:29] <ChronicChops> Has anyone here considered defecting to ArchLinux? If so, why didn't you? I am considering it.
[05:29] <reisio> MarkusDB1: yup
[05:29] <reisio> MarkusDB1: also if you only barely know it
[05:30] <reisio> looking up how to do something in bash even if you know not at all how to do it already can easily save you several thousand million hours of time
[05:31] <Xenos1> i don't know if this is really related but i'm using an ssh to log into a school computer what are they using exactly
[05:31] <ChronicChops> MarkusDB1: I can second that, just this xmas I got a book on the linux command line, and it has already made me more efficient than any GUI couuld
[05:31] <Xenos1> because the locate command doesn't work
[05:31] <reisio> Xenos1: uname -a
[05:32] <reisio> Xenos1: which find
[05:32] <Xenos1> reisio, ?
[05:32] <reisio> Xenos1: commands
[05:32] <Xenos1> locate <filename>
[05:32] <reisio> Xenos1: find / -type f -iname '*file*name*'
[05:33] <MarkusDB1> reisio: thanks guys, I'm trying to convince more mac guys to learn the command line and need arguments =)
[05:33] <reisio> the 'locate' database is usually generated from 'find' anyways
[05:33] <reisio> it's just a database, that is generated beforehand (if it was, anyways), making it faster for enduring files (and useless/misleading/annoying for dynamic ones)
[05:33] <reisio> MarkusDB1: free cardigans
[05:33] <Xenos1> reisio, thanks
[05:34] <zerowaitstate> Xenos1: there is a command called updatedb that has to be run to generate the locate database. It is usually set to run daily in cron, but you may have to initialize it using updatedb if you want to use locate right after installing it
[05:34] <reisio> MarkusDB1: maybe this'll help: http://www.secretgeometry.com/apps/cathode/
[05:34] <reisio> spending money always enables Mac OS users
[05:34] <MarkusDB1> lol
[05:35] <ash547> Hi ..I have wordpress website and all the files are owned by www-data user. If upload file from a user in /var/www/html/site1 the file ownership is owned by that user not from www-data
[05:36] <zerowaitstate> MarkusDB1: there are subtle differences between the Mac and Linux versions of bash, FYI
[05:36] <ash547> can sone help me ??
[05:36] <reisio> ash547: chown www-data path/to/file
[05:36] <lotuspsychje> ash547: maybe the #wordpress guys can also guide you
[05:36] <zerowaitstate> MarkusDB1: for example, it the latest release of OSX, the alias commands behave differently
[05:36] <Xenos1> reisio, how would I use that to find a directory
[05:36] <MarkusDB1> zerowaitstate: yeah I've noticed that. Also the macs lack of a package manager is very bad. Homebrew is there, but always seem to play catch up with apple breaking stuff in each relase of mac os x.
[05:37] <somsip> ash547: chmod g+s -R /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/uploads
[05:37] <somsip> ash547: then anything created or copied to that dir or sub-dirs will have www-data as the group owner, so it will be readable by wordpress
[05:38] <Xenos1> nvm
[05:38] <zerowaitstate> Xenos1: use -type d
[05:39] <ChronicChops> Has anyone here considered defecting to ArchLinux? If so, why didn't you? I am considering it.
[05:40] <lotuspsychje> ChronicChops: stay ontopic mate
[05:41] <somsip> ChronicChops: alternatively, take that question to #ubuntu-offtopic, but probably better in an Arch channel
[05:58] <elmalafacha> I have a toshiba satellite laptop witha an intel core 2, its better to install it ubuntu 32 or 64 bits?
[06:03] <cromagi> elmalafacha: Go to your system settings/ system info and find out which one applies to you
[06:03] <somsip> elmalafacha: what CPU exactly? How much RAM?
[06:03] <cromagi> You don't want to be putting a square block in a round hole
[06:06] <elmalafacha> intel core 2 CPU T5300 @1.73GHz
[06:06] <RahulAN> lotuspsychje, it is taking a lot time
[06:06] <somsip> elmalafacha: and the answer to my other question?
[06:08] <elmalafacha> I put lscpu, which info you need?
[06:08] <somsip> elmalafacha: How much RAM...
[06:09] <elmalafacha> wait is too slow
[06:11] <elmalafacha> how can i see that?
[06:11] <somsip> elmalafacha: someone in whatever OS you've got installed now
[06:12] <somsip> *somewhere...
[06:12] <elmalafacha> im  sorry whats a OS?
[06:12] <somsip> elmalafacha: do you have windows installed now?
[06:12] <elmalafacha> I did this: sudo dmidecode --type memory
[06:12] <elmalafacha> no, i have ubuntu 14.10
[06:12] <elmalafacha> but too slow
[06:12] <somsip> elmalafacha: free -mh
[06:13] <elmalafacha> total 983M
[06:13] <elmalafacha> thats the one?
[06:13] <somsip> elmalafacha: so 1GB, use 32 bit
[06:14] <elmalafacha> ok
[06:14] <elmalafacha> thanks a lot
[06:14] <iceroot> elmalafacha: always install the amd64 version if your cpu supports 64bit, there is no reason to install the 32bit version if your hardware supports 64bit
[06:14] <elmalafacha> ok
[06:14] <somsip> iceroot: you'd still recommend 64bit with only 1GB RAM?
[06:14] <iceroot> somsip: of course
[06:14] <elmalafacha> uh?
[06:15] <elmalafacha> but in installed already and is toooooo slow
[06:15] <iceroot> somsip: what if he upgrades the ram to more? why not using amd64 if the cpu supports it?
[06:15] <iceroot> elmalafacha: amd64 is not the reason why it is slow
[06:15] <elmalafacha> mm ok, so what can i do?
[06:16] <somsip> iceroot: fair enough, but I ahve always recommended 32bit for <2GB RAM and advised to use caution for <4GB. Maybe I should read more
[06:16] <iceroot> elmalafacha: i guess you are using normal ubuntu (with unity), there 1GB ram is not that much, that may be a reason why it is slow
[06:16] <iceroot> somsip: https://cl4ssic4l.wordpress.com/2011/05/24/linus-torvalds-about-pae/   everything with 1gb and more will have a benefit of amd64
[06:16] <jamesd_> somsip: you do relize that 32 bit runs out of address space in as little as 2GB (signed 32bit number)
[06:17] <elmalafacha> I installed gnome-ubuntu
[06:17] <somsip> iceroot: this is not pae though, eg: http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-decide-if-you-should-use-32bit-or-64bit-ubuntu "64 bit - Decreased performance on low-RAM machines."
[06:17] <iceroot> somsip: read the part of the article about the virtual address space
[06:17] <iceroot> somsip: not related to pae
[06:17] <somsip> jamesd_: yes, it's not RAM access that is the issue here, it's whether 64bit runs slower with low RAM machines, which is what I've always understoof
[06:18] <iceroot> somsip: why should amd64 be slower?
[06:18] <somsip> iceroot: fair enough - I have learnt
[06:18] <somsip> iceroot: no idea - jsut soemthing I've tended to see in advice on here and have read in more than one place. But happy to take Linus's word on the matter :)
[06:18] <iceroot> somsip: and have in mind, if you have 1gb ram and a vga with 1gb and you are also swapping with 2 gb, you have 4GB, everything handled from the address space
[06:19] <elmalafacha> do you think that goes better if i install a seap memory?
[06:19] <elmalafacha> swap memory
[06:19] <somsip> iceroot: there is nothing that suggest OP is in that position, but I understand what you're getting at
[06:19] <iceroot> elmalafacha: the default installation should have swap
[06:19] <iceroot> elmalafacha: if you dont have a swap partition, you should create one
[06:20] <iceroot> elmalafacha: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/  and this is good to know.
[06:20] <jamesd_> somsip: i run 64bit mode in 128MB VM's ... no penalty...
[06:21] <somsip> jamesd_: it seems like I've made assumptions based on what I've seen here before and read elsewhere. I need to do some better research before making a blanket recommendation like I did earlier. Simple as that
[06:22] <iceroot> somsip: everything fine
[06:22] <`hypermist`> I have an issue with a game on ubuntu 14.04
[06:23] <somsip> iceroot: sure - no argument - I just like to understand why I'm wrong when someone gives a differing view. Stuff to read now :-)
[06:23] <jamesd_> somsip: it might of been true in the early days of 64bit... on really small machines, the binaries were 1-2% bigger and when you had a 1GB harddrive was considered big it made a difference, these days, hard drives are huge in comparison and 64bit cpus are more efficeint and faster.
[06:24] <somsip> jamesd_: still, I was coming at it from a point of view of low RAM, not low HD. Just reaidng through sources of info now. EOT for me :)
[06:24] <iceroot> somsip: the issues in the past where mainly with closed source stuff which was only build for 32bit (flash for example) it was difficult to get it working in a 64bit driver. the same for drivers which are nit available in 64bit because of the closed source it was not possible to build them for 64bit but these times are over
[06:24] <elmalafacha> ok, ill check it out, thaks a lot to every one
[06:25] <iceroot> somsip: but flash is of course always an issue and should be avoided if possible :) (but not for the amd64 reason)
[06:25] <somsip> iceroot: ok, back off EOT for me. It's this sort of thing that was informing me. This is not old and is well upvoted http://askubuntu.com/questions/7034/what-are-the-differences-between-32-bit-and-64-bit-and-which-should-i-choose
[06:26] <somsip> iceroot: but on that, the pros/cons of his conclusion seem to be questioned
[06:28] <somsip> iceroot: and actually it's older than I thought - 2010. I was looking at comment dates of 2014 and thinking it was more current.
[06:33] <azjo> Hi, i got a router which has a failback feature when doing dual wan. what exactly does this mean?
[06:33] <somsip> azjo: what make is your router?

[06:33] <somsip> azjo: ask asus then.

[07:17] <`hypermist`> and then when i try run dev branch the game fully crashes
[07:17] <somsip> `hypermist`: dev is often buggy. use a stable version

[07:19] <`hypermist`> somsip, stable doesn't even work
[07:19] <`hypermist`> Maps wont download for certain servers.
[07:19] <somsip> `hypermist`: contact the game maintainer, or raise an issue with them

[09:37] <ame> tomodachi:i have done that but i want to communicate through the PIC board
[09:37] <ame> tomodachi:its ttyusb0
[09:38] <plankton> Ubuntu don't let me 'burn' a non-Ubuntu-.ISO file (using usb-creator-gtk), occurs an error 'isoinfo: Unable to find Joliet SVD'.
[09:38] <tomodachi> ame:  dont know then really
[09:38] <ame> oh
[09:39] <tomodachi> ame: perhaps if you have a concrete problem that you can describe someone can help you out
[09:39] <tomodachi> plankton: you mean create an usb bootable right?
[09:39] <plankton> tomodachi, yep
[09:40] <plankton> tomodachi, I already use unetboot in, and that workaround copying .c32 on pendrive, but don't work.
[09:40] <tomodachi> plankton: your tool might be broken for some reason, you can create the usb from the terminal using dd
[09:42] <plankton> tomodachi, dd if of bs... I tryed too. Show boot error... did I miss some boot flag on it?
[09:43] <plankton> Tryed using a .img too.
[09:44] <plankton> tomodachi,  I'll work on it some more time. Thanks.
[09:44] <tomodachi> plankton: no that is not needed , can you type the exact syntax you used with dd?
[09:44] <amberj> Hello
[09:45] <plankton> sudo dd if=/home/plankton/Downloads/generic-pc-1.8.1.img of=/dev/sdb1 bs=1M
[09:45] <tomodachi> plankton:  it should be sdb
[09:45] <amberj> I'm using iptables to allow access to only one IP. Here is my iptables config: http://codepad.org/R6mxYvZ9
[09:45] <tomodachi> not sdb1
[09:46] <tomodachi> amberj: allow icmp
[09:46] <amberj> But when I try to wget <IP_ADDRESS>, I get "Connection timed out".
[09:47] <amberj> tomodachi, If I add ICMP rules (http://codepad.org/QH61SGat), then ping works... but wget still does not works
[09:47] <amberj> \
[09:47] <tomodachi> amberj: yes my concern was general regarding the fact that you didnt allow ICMP ,which you should
[09:48] <amberj> ok, I will add icmp rules...but any idea why wget isnt working?
[09:48] <amberj> I *cant* even see the iptables logs in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/kern.log
[09:49] <Ben64> maybe you should use something like ufw or gufw to configure your weird firewall
[09:51] <tomodachi> amberj: wouldnt you need to configure both machines both of the input and output chain?
[09:52] <amberj> tomodachi, err sorry, but I dont get what you are saying (?)
[09:53] <tomodachi> amberj: that you need an output rule for for port 80 communication in both directions
[09:53] <tomodachi> for both ip adresses
[09:53] <tomodachi> and the same for input
[09:55] <tomodachi> amberj: wich ip is the client and wich is the server?
[10:15] <O_OniGiri> Hi there, is it possible that "sudo reboot" breaks the system?
[10:16] <O_OniGiri> Suddenly my internet is working really slowly
[10:16] <Borys> Hello
[10:16] <tomodachi> O_OniGiri: improbable , considering the amount of people using reboot a bug like that would be discovered and fixed fairly quickly
[10:16] <O_OniGiri> tomodachi:do you know what could cause the instability that I am facing?
[10:17] <Borys> Which version of ubuntu or other linux could you recommend me for an old pc; i need only remote desktop access and running teamviewer on it
[10:17] <tomodachi> O_OniGiri: what is the problem, you say slow internet,  "break system" could you be more specific?
[10:17] <Ben64> Borys: lubuntu or xubuntu are the lightest, but i'd suggest using something better than teamviewer
[10:17] <O_OniGiri> tomodachi:Yeah, I mean somehow my internet stays slow now...
[10:17] <tomodachi> Borys: personally i never got teamviewer working in a modern ubuntu, so i guess a 32bit old one (check what version team viewer supports)
[10:18] <O_OniGiri> tomodachi:that's what I call "break system"
[10:18] <Borys> omg, I mean teamspeak, non teamviewer
[10:18] <Borys> and vino-server as rdp
[10:18] <tomodachi> O_OniGiri: break system can be many things, crashing, disk corruption,  constant reboots etc
[10:18] <tomodachi> O_OniGiri:  is it lookups over dns, or speed of downloads that is slow?
[10:18] <tomodachi> O_OniGiri: is it equally slow from another comp on the same network
[10:19] <O_OniGiri> tomodachi:ok... never mind "break system", but what could cause the slow internet suddenly?
[10:19] <Ben64> i thought teamspeak was proprietary?
[10:19] <Borys> it's possible to clear my exist instalation and fresh install xubuntu?
[10:19] <O_OniGiri> tomodachi:takes forever to load a page
[10:19] <Borys> Ben64: yes, but I need pulseaudio too, so i can only get xubuntu?
[10:20] <Ben64> Borys: xubuntu lubuntu ubuntu whatever you like the most really
[10:20] <O_OniGiri> Ben64:but isn't ubuntu a bit heavy for old computers?
[10:20] <O_OniGiri> Ben64:I am no expert at all... just wondering
[10:21] <athan> Hmm... `init-checkconf foo.conf` is telling me there's a syntax error, but no line number :\ http://lpaste.net/119297
[10:21] <Ben64> O_OniGiri: quite possibly
[10:21] <Borys> Can I purge system and fresh install xubuntu via ssh on 14.04 ?
[10:21] <athan> Ben64: lubuntu was nice for me
[10:21] <Borys> or better burn a cd?
[10:21] <Ben64> Borys: need to install from a cd/dvd/usb
[10:21] <Borys> athan: do you have working pulseaudio?
[10:21] <O_OniGiri> tomodachi:Thanks for your effort, but I gotta study again :P Bye guys
[10:22] <athan> Borys: fresh installs are usually better
[10:22] <athan> yep
[10:22] <athan> s/better/easier
[10:22] <Borys> out of the box ?
[10:22] <athan> yep!
[10:22] <Borys> 14.04 or 14.10 ?
[10:22] <Borys> awesome :d
[10:22] <athan> JACK can be a bit painful to set up
[10:22] <athan> last I remember 14.04
[10:22] <athan> but I may be wrong :\
[10:22] <athan> use a usb!
[10:22] <athan> and `unetbootin`!
[10:50] <abb4s> hi every one ....................... !
[11:12] <bobcat0> #ubuntu-uk
[11:15] <hroi> hi
[11:16] <hroi> what is the preferred way of running a task as a particular user after bootup ,  after run-level 2 reached?
[11:18] <hateball> hroi: there are several ways, @reboot in crontab could be one
[11:18] <hroi> hateball, ohh... I didnt know crontab could do one off runs on start
[11:18] <hroi> great!
[11:25] <axel_> Hello, I have a quesition. How to customize Ubuntu installer ( Ubiquity? ). I just want to add my custom steps, gather information and pass to scripts which will do some stuff.
[11:31] <andreas_> hello! I install kingston Office using some guides on google
[11:31] <andreas_> but now all my windows looks like ..windows 95
[11:31] <andreas_> it's horrible, how do I stop this?
[11:34] <MACscr> anyone have experience with cdde? Im trying to autolaunch vlc using a cli command when a dvd is inserted. I seem to be able to get a command to run and i know this cli code works for vlc, but when i try the combination, i get an error about the cdrom. Here is the entry and log response: http://pastie.org/private/ww8d13ujgogbzwwcxo8lqa
[11:37] <azi`_> is there a way I could check what the installed version of the GSL library is on my system?
[11:38] <bazhang> !info gsl-bin | azi`_
[11:38] <hateball> andreas_: you could show the links to "some guides" so people can read what you may have done
[11:39] <azi`> bazhang: should gsl-bin be a command?
[11:39] <andreas_> http://www.noobslab.com/2013/05/microsoft-office-alternative-kingsoft.html and http://www.sysads.co.uk/2014/08/install-kingsoft-office-linux-ubuntu-14-04/ used both as the second didnt work
[11:40] <bazhang> azi`, what are you trying to accomplish
[11:40] <cfhowlett> andreas_, libreoffice / openoffice
[11:40] <azi`> bazhang: I have two servers, when I run a program on one all is well on the other it segfaults (apparently in a GSL function)
[11:40] <azi`> bazhang: i'd like to check GSL versions on these two systems
[11:41] <andreas_> cfhowlett, I needed it to view an excel document
[11:41] <azi`> bazhang: I do not have root access to them btw
[11:44] <stevenm> Anyone got a suggestion for something that is better than gnome/mate-screenshot?  something more like the snipping tool that actually lets you preview what you took a screenshot of?
[11:45] <mcphail> azi`: "apt-cache policy libgsl0ldbl" should tell you what version is installed. Seems like an odd problem, though
[11:47] <azi`> mcphail: indeed, the problem only occurs when I compile the program with optimization flags and not on all gsl versions :S
[11:47] <fidel__> stevenm: i am using shutter for screenshots - its not really "light"  but offers some nice functions
[11:48] <stevenm> fidel__, yeah I just found that one - is it sluggish?
[11:48] <fidel__> not really
[11:48] <bazhang> !info kazam
[11:49] <bazhang> try kazam
[11:49] <stevenm> i do like how you can do little arrows and circles with it though - i *think* the snipping tool can do that... the rest of the office I work in is windows
[11:49] <mcphail> azi`: are you compiling fresh on each machine or compiling on one and copying the binary to the other?
[11:49] <azi`> mcphail: fresh
[11:49] <azi`> mcphail: and it works well on all machines, except when i do -O2 it breaks on the latest GSL version
[11:49] <mcphail> azi`: very odd, then. One for gdb's superpowers, I suspect
[11:50] <azi`> mcphail: yes gdb actually tells it breaks in a GSL function, now I am figuring out how to get a gsl lib with debug support
[11:50] <mcphail> azi`: there are debug libs in the repos
[11:50] <stevenm> bazhang, hmm that does videos too? would it eliminate the need for gtk-recordmydesktop ?
[11:51] <azi`> mcphail: hm...
[11:52] <mcphail> !info libgsl0-dbg
[11:52] <azi`> mcphail: should it be enough if I simply install this?
[11:52] <mcphail> yes
[11:53] <mcphail> azi`: as long as you're using the version of the library in the repository and haven't hand-rolled your own
[11:53] <bazhang> stevenm, yes, screencasts as well
[11:53] <azi`> mcphail: no though I am wondering how to force compilation on a locally built lib (just to see if the latest official release by GSL causes trouble as well)
[11:55] <stevenm> bazhang, doesn't seem to work right in my test VM - when picking to screenshot a window or area the whole screen goes grey ... doesn't seem to have a lot of functionality either - will it let you preview what you took a screenshot of?  will it let you draw on it after?
[11:56] <mcphail> azi`: now _that's_ a bit trickier. I resort to Google any time I have to do that sort of thing. The method never sticks in my brain
[11:56] <stevenm> bazhang, nvm doesn't seem to do any of that
[11:56] <bazhang> stevenm, how much ram did you give that vm
[11:56] <stevenm> looks like It'll have to be shutter
[11:56] <stevenm> bazhang, a gig
[11:56] <bazhang> ok
[11:57] <azi`> mcphail: i think i got it.. the problem now is, where to report this thing to? at this point I am not even sure wheter its caused by a bug in my code or not
[11:59] <mcphail> azi`: If it is a bug in upstream, report it upstream. If upstream is fixed, ask the Ubuhntu maintainer to bugfix (but that probably won't come on line until the next Ubuntu release)
[11:59] <mcphail> azi`: even posting a backtrace to upstream will probably help to narrow things down
[12:01] <mcphail> azi`: of course, it might all boil down to a bug in GCC but compiling with "-O2" isn't supposed to break anything. "-O3" is supposed to be the dangerous one
[12:02] <expl> where are the user's cron's saved?
[12:03] <azi`> mcphail: this is the program in question, in case you're interested to test http://ideone.com/aKnNwo
[12:04] <mcphail> expl: /var/spool/cron/crontabs/
[12:05] <MrN00Bs> why don't I get a new email notification until I actually open Evolution ?
[12:06] <expl> mcphail: thank you
[12:06] <axel_>  Hello, I have a quesition. How to customize Ubuntu installer ( Ubiquity? ). I just want to add my custom steps, gather information and pass to scripts which will do some stuff.
[12:06] <mcphail> azi`: I'm on a wndows machine just now but will have a look at that this evening
[12:06] <azi`> mcphail: thanks for your time
[12:06] <r0b0r> hey, efnet down?
[12:07] <MrN00Bs> r0b0r, no it is on
[12:07] <r0b0r> ok
[12:08] <r0b0r> mebs the server i was using is fubar. it connects but theres no chans
[12:09] <user_> Hi can anyone help me i am having booting problems
[12:09] <r0b0r> step 1. tie laces
[12:10] <cfhowlett> !behelpful | r0b0r,
[12:10] <r0b0r> sorry
[12:10] <user_> i have edubuntu 7.0.4 and I have installed windows 7 on the same machine and now i can't boot both OS's
[12:11] <r0b0r> what do you land with on boot there user_?
[12:11] <r0b0r> like, where does it die and what does it say
[12:11] <user_> i am familiar with windows but not with linux
[12:12] <cfhowlett> user_, edubuntu 7.04 is WAY past end-of-life and is not supported here or anywhere else.  For assistance: upgrade to a supported version
[12:12] <r0b0r> thats cool, just wondering where it dies
[12:12] <r0b0r> hey, running antiquated *nix is part of the game, is it not?
[12:13] <Ben64> no
[12:13] <cfhowlett> r0b0r, still not supported.
[12:13] <Ben64> it hasn't been supported for over 6 years
[12:13] <MrN00Bs> cfhowlett, Can you help me with Ubuntu Evolution new email notification when the app is closed ?
[12:14] <r0b0r> well, ok, but some tips on grub or something would be in the spirit
[12:14] <Ben64> tip - install a supported version of ubuntu
[12:14] <cfhowlett> MrN00Bs, I saw that ... didn't respond because I don't know.  Guess: no alert if the evolution service isn't running
[12:15] <MrN00Bs> cfhowlett, evolution-indicator is installed
[12:15] <cfhowlett> r0b0r, not supported = not supported
[12:15] <MrN00Bs> do I need to install mail-evolution-notification ?
[12:15] <r0b0r> so, what is supported. 11+?
[12:15] <cfhowlett> MrN00Bs, right.  I have it too.  let me look at something
[12:15] <Ben64> r0b0r: supported versions are in the topic
[12:16] <r0b0r> thanks Ben64
[12:16] <MrN00Bs> cfhowlett, mail-notification-evolution is required I guess
[12:16] <r0b0r> what about the antiques?
[12:16] <expl> are there any tor nodes that aren't publicly listed as tor nodes?
[12:16] <MrN00Bs> cfhowlett, sudo aptitude search mail-notification-evolution
[12:16] <MrN00Bs> if it shows it is installed
[12:17] <r0b0r> expl you answered your own question
[12:17] <Ben64> r0b0r: not supported, as you've been told already
[12:17] <expl> r0b0r: no i didn't
[12:17] <cfhowlett> MrN00Bs, must be it.  I've got evolution but not that app
[12:17] <expl> tor node doesn't imply public listing, it implies the physical ability to be a tor node
[12:18] <expl> !behelpful | r0b0r or shutup
[12:18] <Ben64> expl: the attitude is not necessary, and tor is not on topic here
[12:18] <mcphail> expl: this isn't a topic for this channel
[12:18] <cfhowlett> MrN00Bs, mildly surprised that it's not included with evol. but ...
[12:18] <MrN00Bs> cfhowlett, do you get the new email notifications ?
[12:19] <MrN00Bs> cfhowlett, or do get notifications only when you open it ?
[12:19] <cfhowlett> MrN00Bs, I do not until I start the evolution program ... same as you, right?
[12:19] <bcc> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9897190/ anyone seen this before?!
[12:20] <MrN00Bs> cfhowlett, yep now install mail-notification-evolution and close the app after sending an email to yourself
[12:20] <MrN00Bs> lol
[12:20] <r0b0r> sorry guys. i did not mean to be rude.
[12:20] <r0b0r> where would one find some chat with antiquated systems such as 10?
[12:20] <cfhowlett> MrN00Bs, good to know.  and good detective work there, lou!
[12:21] <cfhowlett> r0b0r, #ubuntu-offtopic maybe
[12:21] <Ben64> r0b0r: again, not supported, you're not going to find any support
[12:21] <MrN00Bs> cfhowlett, I am always helping and kind but girls never understand me
[12:21] <cfhowlett> MrN00Bs, !!! TMI !!!
[12:21] <r0b0r> i'm not after any support currently I was just curious.
[12:21] <MrN00Bs> cfhowlett, what is TMI ?
[12:21] <cfhowlett> MrN00Bs, Too Much (personal) Information
[12:22] <MrN00Bs> cfhowlett, don't install it, it has to do with server
[12:22] <MrN00Bs> do not install
[12:23] <cfhowlett> MrN00Bs,right
[12:23] <MrN00Bs> cfhowlett, apt-get purge mail-notification-evolution
[12:23] <MrN00Bs> apt-get autoremove
[12:24] <cfhowlett> MrN00Bs, right, I installed nothing ... just mirroring on my system in response to your initial query
[12:24] <MrN00Bs> cfhowlett, ok
[12:24] <bcc> I fixed it
[12:24] <bcc> my /tmp was missing
[12:25] <Borys> athan: hi again
[12:26] <Borys> im dont ask before coz battery discharged, so again..
[12:26] <Borys> im installing lubuntu 14.10 atm
[12:27] <Borys> so all I need is install puvcontrol or smth to get working pulseaudio?
[12:30] <athan> Borys: Hey, yeah it should work out-of-the-box
[12:30] <expl> hi somebody told me to run sudo su to get root
[12:30] <expl> sudo su
[12:30] <Ben64> expl: not correct
[12:30] <cfhowlett> !root | expl
[12:31] <expl> sorry wrong window
[12:31] <expl> what do you mean
[12:31] <Ben64> what are  you trying to do?
[12:31] <cfhowlett> expl, if you don't know how to get root, you're probably better off not using root.  learn more, root less
[12:31] <expl> i want to see the /root dir

[12:32] <Ben64> sudo ls /root
[12:32] <expl> How can i be root when Ubuntu starts?
[12:32] <Ben64> you don't
[12:32] <expl> What don't?
[12:32] <cfhowlett> expl, bad idea.   This is different than in Windows where many users are accustomed to using admin acounts 100% of the time.

[12:38] <marc__> to login to root ... sudo su ...
[12:38] <Ben64> marc__: no
[12:38] <YamakasY> expl, use pastebin.com!
[12:38] <k1l> dont sudo su!
[12:39] <r420r> why ?
[12:39] <YamakasY> k1l, heh why ?
[12:39] <r420r> k1l
[12:39] <k1l> because it messes with the env setup. use sudo -i if you really need a root shell
[12:39] <r420r> nice
[12:39] <Ben64> (which you pretty much never need)
[12:40] <YamakasY> k1l, depends on what you do
[12:40] <k1l> but for 99% of the ubuntu users, "i need root" is just because they follow a wrong howto made by guys not using ubuntu. most times it not needed.
[12:40] <MrN00Bs> cfhowlett, I have a MBP from Mid-2010 I am thinking about wiping it and installing Ubuntu, what do you think ?
[12:40] <marc__> ben64 , sorry, just waking up and reading back a little thought someone was trying to find out hhow to get root on ubuntu
[12:41] <YamakasY> k1l, wrong, if you need root rights you need to sudo
[12:41] <tomodachi> MrN00Bs: MBP is it a 15" inch one with dual gfx cards?!
[12:41] <expl> http://pastebin.com/Sdeu7W9D
[12:41] <Ben64> marc__: ok but thats still never the right answer to anything
[12:41] <k1l> YamakasY: no. wrong env setups are wrong env setups. you cant hope that you just have the case where the env setup doesnt matter. its like playing lottery
[12:41] <expl> YamakasY: http://pastebin.com/Sdeu7W9D
[12:41] <k1l> expl: what do you want to do?
[12:41] <YamakasY> k1l, hence, explain me why people are doing so for 20 years than without issues
[12:42] <expl> k1l: I want Root for learning Linux
[12:42] <cfhowlett> !mac | MrN00Bs, 1.  never installed on a mac.  2.  mac + ubuntu seems like a sweet marriage - provided you research the right method.  see more at the links
[12:43] <MrN00Bs> cfhowlett, ok I ok
[12:43] <k1l> expl: no, what do you want to do exactly? you dont need root for learning linux. ubuntu doesnt use the root account. it got sudo for user conveniance.
[12:43] <expl> Is there Channel for Ubuntu in Lebanon? Please can you guide?
[12:44] <YamakasY> k1l, what is you issue with javi404 ?
[12:44] <YamakasY> *your
[12:45] <r420r> sudo su - giving same result , k1l
[12:45] <remline> sudo allows a permitted user to execute a command as the superuser or another user, as specified by the security policy.
[12:45] <Ben64> can everyone just stop with that command already?
[12:46] <cfhowlett> expl, you do NOT need root to "learn linux".  who ever told you you need root to learn linux is ... misinformed at best
[12:46] <k1l> !sudo | r420r
[12:46] <r420r> yeah
[12:46] <r420r> nice bot
[12:47] <r0b0r> quickest way to learn the hardest way
[12:47] <expl> k1l: http://www.wikihow.com/Become-Root-in-Linux
[12:47] <k1l> expl: that howto is wrong! it is not for ubuntu
[12:47]  * r0b0r b r b 4 b e e r
[12:47] <remline> expl, note that the page says "Only use the root account if you absolutely have to."
[12:47] <expl> $ su

[12:47] <cromagi> i just upgraded to ubuntu 14.10... do i need to enable third party sources?
[12:47] <expl> k1l: Why it says failure?
[12:47] <Ben64> expl: this has been explained to you many many times already. please read
[12:48]  * r0b0r would imagine the incorrect pass was used :P
[12:48] <k1l> expl: stop
[12:48] <Ben64> expl: or in the likely case that you are in fact EriC^^ ... stop messing around?
[12:48] <k1l> expl: i explained that several times now. dont you read what i told you?
[12:48] <Ben64> r0b0r: there is no correct password in ubuntu for "su"
[12:49] <r0b0r> ;)
[12:49] <remline> By default, the Root account password is locked in Ubuntu.
[12:50] <k1l> expl: ubuntu doesnt use the root account. it is differen than other linux distributions. you dont need to be root all the time like you need to be "administrator" on windows. if you need a program to have root permissions you use sudo. but dont run everything with sudo
[12:50] <k1l> expl: running everything as root is malicious.
[12:51] <r0b0r> well shit it's ten minutes to beer o'clock.
[12:51] <r0b0r> better get a head start.
[12:52] <expl> k1l: I am following online guide to learn Linux
[12:52] <k1l> expl: that online guide is wrong! its not made for ubuntu
[12:52] <expl> k1l: I am not make malicious to Ubuntu
[12:52] <trijntje_> expl: what online guide?
[12:53] <k1l> expl: you are using a linux mint howto. linux mint is not ubuntu!
[12:53] <expl> trinjt: http://linuxreviews.org/beginner/#toc1
[12:53] <k1l> !sudo > expl
[12:54] <expl> How can I Ubuntu Version? k1l?
[12:54] <trijntje_> expl: that guide is more then 10 years old, and not written for ubuntu.
[12:54] <trijntje_> expl: why not read this?
[12:54] <trijntje_> !terminal
[12:55] <popey> expl: that guide is very old.
[12:55] <popey> expl: almost certainly out of date, and wrong in places.
[12:55] <remline> "You should never use normal sudo to start graphical applications as Root. You should use gksudo to run such programs." Why is this?
[12:55] <cfhowlett> remline, gk = graphic
[12:55] <daftykins> !it | expl you would probably be better off talking here
[12:56] <popey> remline: because you could end up with files owned by root in your home directory as a result
[12:56] <mcphail> remline: it can muck about with permissions, for example on .Xauthority which then breaks login
[12:56] <k1l> remline: using the wrong enviroment variables. that will cause permissions mess in your /home
[12:57] <paradisebunny> can someone tell me how i can check if write barriers are enabled? using ubuntu 14.04
[12:58] <expl> trijntj: Thank you. I will read Guides.
[12:59] <expl> trijnt: How can I Ubuntu Version?
[13:00] <popey> expl: lsb_release -a
[13:00] <cromagi> Huh? , expl
[13:01] <expl> popey: Thank you
[13:01] <popey> no problem
[13:02] <r00t_> this is a support channel?
[13:02] <popey> yes
[13:02] <cfhowlett> r00t_, ubuntu support only
[13:03] <expl> daftykins: Nobody talk in Channel ubuntu-it
[13:03] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[13:03] <r00t_> ok thanks, I'm trying to get a fix to a problem I have: using two gpu cards in a multi monitor configuration, they work using the nouveau driver but not with the proprietary ones
[13:04] <daftykins> expl: ok well try and be clearer with your english
[13:04] <trijntje_> expl: it seems to be active, it might just be that nobody is present now. Just keep hanging around there
[13:06] <mcphail> r00t_: what doesn't work?
[13:07] <daftykins> r00t_: what's the result from installing an nvidia proprietary driver? do you get no display at all? you likely have to create a customised xorg.conf file to state which card you want as primary and so on
[13:07] <r00t_> well I manage to get working the nvidia gpu with the two monitors connected but the third one is connected to the intel graphics gpu that just stop working with proprietary drivers installed for nvidia+
[13:08] <daftykins> ok wel you said nothing about that in your first message :)
[13:08] <r00t_> sorry :D
[13:08] <expl> trintj: $ sudo cd /root
[13:08] <expl> [sudo] password for jason:
[13:08] <expl> sudo: cd: command not found
[13:08] <popey> expl: why are you doing that?
[13:09] <expl> popy: I want to Learn Linux.
[13:09] <MACscr> how do i remove lpanel or whatever its called that lxde/openbox uses? I simply want to use glx-dock instead. dont need both open
[13:09] <popey> expl: right, but nobody would ever type that.
[13:09] <Ben64> expl: i told you 37 minutes ago how to look in that directory, why don't you want to read? looking in that directory doesn't let you learn linux, there is likely nothing in there at all!
[13:09] <popey> expl: if you want to "become root" then "sudo -s", but I would read more documentation :)
[13:09] <Ben64> Jan 27 2015 04:32:06 <Ben64>	sudo ls /root
[13:11] <r00t_> daftykins: can you point me to some article that explains how to configure well the xorg.conf file and how to generate the file configuration?
[13:11] <remline> expl, you can learn linux without root. Simple as that.
[13:11] <ikonia> Ben64: any chance you could join us in #ubuntu-ops for a moment please
[13:12] <daftykins> r00t_: nope, but my suggestion doesn't apply so much since you gave the full story :) it might be handy to pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log whilst you have an nvidia proprietary driver installed and this display setup attached to the relevant cards
[13:12] <cybernova> daftykins, -it is the italian chat, don't bring people there that are not italian
[13:12] <cybernova> lebanon != italy
[13:12] <expl> Ben64: It not work, I tried.
[13:13] <daftykins> cybernova: the user's nick was pointing close to italy before, my mistake if it was inaccurate - but the user did not seem like one who would reply to where they were from
[13:13] <daftykins> er not nick, IP
[13:13] <ablest1980> ciao
[13:14] <trijntje_> expl: yes it did. Why do you think it didn't work?
[13:14] <r00t_> daftykins: actually i'm not using that computer, it's busy right now, it does change something if I use a ubuntu based distro?
[13:14] <waaataaw> my tmp directory keeps filling up when i'm doing database queries
[13:15] <expl> remline: But It's My PC, I need Root to make Linux Learning.
[13:15] <waaataaw> and sha1ing stuff in node.js
[13:15] <daftykins> r00t_: so you're not even using ubuntu and asking about these issues with it? sorry but any other distro is off topic.
[13:15] <popey> expl: we've told you how. "sudo -s" will make you root. But read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[13:16] <r00t_> daftykins: the xorg.conf file is the same on all ubuntu based distros, just need to know how to edit it
[13:16] <trijntje_> popey: that will only help him break his system even quicker ;)
[13:16] <waaataaw> df -h shows 1gb out of 1gb used,  disk usage analyzer shows only a few kb
[13:16] <daftykins> r00t_: "ubuntu based" - sorry, those are not supported here.
[13:17] <popey> r00t_: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf - see also this kind of thing... http://askubuntu.com/questions/30412/3-monitors-with-2-video-cards-not-working
[13:18] <r00t_> daftykins: ok, let's say I use xubuntu (this computer where i'm actually use it) how I could edit that conf file to add the third monitor?
[13:18] <ablest1980> where can i learn ubuntu?
[13:18] <Ben64> !manual | ablest1980
[13:18] <waaataaw> hey guys how can i work out what is using up all of my tmp directory if i do a df -h, it shows it is full but an ls -alh shows nothing?
[13:19] <ablest1980> ty ben
[13:19] <cfhowlett> ablest1980, www.fullcirclemagazine.org      download issue #0, read, learn repeat
[13:19] <popey> waaataaw: ncdu is handy for that... "ncdu /tmp"
[13:19] <popey> waaataaw: (you need to install it of course)
[13:19] <waaataaw> 944kb largest file
[13:19] <waaataaw> popey: from ncdu
[13:19] <daftykins> r00t_: no, because like i said i need to see logs and i'm only going to help officially supported distros :) don't try and get around things
[13:19] <expl> popey: Thank you. It works.
[13:19] <waaataaw> tmpfs                        1.0G  1.0G     0 100% /tmp  << however from df -h
[13:19] <zamba> can someone tell me how i can get nfsv4 working like nfsv3 did? without this idmap stuff?
[13:20] <Ben64> waaataaw: what about total for the directory?
[13:20] <popey> waaataaw: a reboot will clear out your /tmp ㋛
[13:20] <ablest1980> cfhowleet ty
[13:21] <r00t_> daftykins: actually I have the same problem on xubuntu (wich is a supported distro I think) so that could work on any other
[13:21] <popey> r00t_: see link above.
[13:21] <cfhowlett> ablest1980, happy2help!
[13:21] <r00t_> here on xubuntu there is no xorg.conf file, any command to generate that file?
[13:22] <waaataaw> popey: yeah the problem is i need to work out the problem.because i'm writing softwar
[13:22] <daftykins> r00t_: well, you've had some links shared and you know what to do.
[13:22] <waaataaw> and i can't have it filling up the temp directory with invisible magic files.. also this computer has 32gb of ram
[13:22] <daftykins> r00t_: no you need to make one up following some advice from online :)
[13:22] <popey> r00t_: craft it from scratch
[13:23] <Ben64> waaataaw: unlikely to be magic. check lsof and/or symlinks in /proc to see if files are open in /tmp
[13:23] <ablest1980> cfhowleet do you mean issue #1?
[13:23] <trijntje_> waaataaw: what kind  of filesystem is tmp?
[13:23] <ablest1980> cfhowlett*
[13:24] <popey> waaataaw: understood.
[13:24] <popey> waaataaw: perhaps "sudo ncdu /tmp" - do more files show up?
[13:24] <solsTiCe> hi. when i am connected via ssh on wifi interface of raspberry and unplug the ethernet one, the ssh connection freezes for 1 minute. why ?
[13:24] <azi`> mcphail: nevermind with that code. i've spoted the bug. thanks for your time
[13:24] <waaataaw> trijntje_, how can i tell?
[13:25] <mcphail> azi`: what was it?
[13:25] <teward> solsTiCe: you mean the connection from computer -> raspberrypi over SSH?
[13:25] <waaataaw> popey: 991kb
[13:25] <waaataaw> so same
[13:25] <r00t_> ok i found it, thanks for help, sorry daftykins for trying to get around things :D
[13:25] <daftykins> r00t_: no problem ;) you're not the first shall we say
[13:25] <trijntje_> waaataaw: df -h should show it
[13:26] <daftykins> it's tmpfs as per an earlier paste, trijntje_
[13:26] <r00t_> I just asked here because on the distro support channel there was no helpful answer
[13:26] <waaataaw> tmpfs
[13:26] <waaataaw> tmpfs                        1.0G  1.0G   32K 100% /tmp
[13:26] <daftykins> r00t_: so what is it really running?
[13:26] <solsTiCe> teward: yes. when i unplug the ethernet on raspberrypi, the wifi connection ssh from pc to raspi freezes
[13:26] <waaataaw> ok i've removed every file in /tmp
[13:27] <waaataaw> sudo rm -rf /tmp/*
[13:27] <waaataaw> and it's still using 1gb
[13:27] <Ben64> waaataaw: did you try my suggestion
[13:27] <cfhowlett> r00t_, if the publisher doesn't support, why in seven blue galaxies are you using it?  think about it.
[13:27] <r00t_> daftykins: mint mate man
[13:27] <waaataaw> sorry ben.. missed it, trying now
[13:27] <solsTiCe> teward: after 1 minute it comes back. but i wonder why as it the second distro that does that.
[13:27] <popey> r00t_: Ubuntu MATE is also available ㋛
[13:27] <waaataaw> ok so ls -al /proc has no symlinks pointing at /tmp
[13:28] <ablest1980> cfhowlett no issue 0
[13:28] <cfhowlett> ablest1980, false.  wait 1
[13:29] <waaataaw> Ben64: dconf      3595  3598 grahamsavage   33u      REG               0,19    293244    2662877 /tmp/#2662877 (deleted)
[13:29] <waaataaw> lsof has thousands of these
[13:29] <waaataaw> 1598
[13:29] <popey> so deleted files that were still open when deleted
[13:29] <Ben64> waaataaw: is definitely a suspect
[13:29] <ObrienDave> ablest1980, http://fullcirclemagazine.org/issue-0/
[13:29] <cfhowlett> ablest1980, http://fullcirclemagazine.org/issue-0/      and subsequent issues: http://fullcirclemagazine.org/downloads/
[13:30] <r00t_> actually I'm stuck on mint mate because the nouveau driver was just running fine, on xubuntu i got a weird problem with the display: the two halfs of the monitor were inverted so moving the mouse to that monitor would like make the cursor teleport first to the right side and then to left side, i'm unlucky with distros :D
[13:30] <ablest1980> ty guys
[13:30] <ablest1980> :)
[13:30] <Ben64> r00t_: then you should pop on over to #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org
[13:31] <r00t_> nah, gonna try the mate version of ubuntu, i'm just curious
[13:31] <waaataaw> Ben64: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/anonymous/e8ef7287f532fb3fa1e8/raw/68c6503372addf70b67e459280a5f0d836a8ccd0/bla.txt
[13:31] <waaataaw> does that look odd?
[13:31] <ablest1980> how do i know which ubuntu i got i know its 14.04lts
[13:32] <popey> ablest1980: lsb_release -a
[13:32] <ablest1980> ok
[13:32] <solsTiCe> so I have a ubuntu specific question: I use 2 monitors. and move chromium to right hdmi monitor. now it is connected to raspi so I have only the latptop screen on ubuntu but chromium has opened on the non running on ubuntu screen. so i cant' reach chromium. it is off screen
[13:33] <ObrienDave> oh my
[13:33] <solsTiCe> ah ok i got it with alt-f7
[13:33] <popey> solsTiCe: use the display control to switch off the external monitor? windows will revert back to the main one, or Windows+S to see all desktops and drag it back
[13:34] <Ben64> waaataaw: yes odd
[13:35] <Ben64> waaataaw: on that list, the 8th column is the size in bytes
[13:35] <waaataaw> what i was doing is using the node.js to sha1 on results in database queries    var folderSha1 = shasum.digest('hex');
[13:35] <waaataaw> we would have run 500,000 postgresql queries and then sha1'd them all
[13:36] <Ben64> waaataaw: lots of 100, 200, 300MB files
[13:36] <Ben64> oh, some are repeats
[13:36] <waaataaw> hmmm
[13:37] <Ben64> close all your terminals and applications, except irc :)
[13:38] <waaataaw> ok done that
[13:38] <waaataaw> then reopend one
[13:38] <waaataaw> now has 1022m available
[13:38] <Ben64> yay
[13:38] <waaataaw> hmmm
[13:38] <waaataaw> soooooooo
[13:39] <Ben64> something you did kept files opened and you needed to stop it
[13:39] <waaataaw> is it the output in the terminal window prehaps?
[13:39] <waaataaw> like 10 million line prints?
[13:39] <Ben64> output doesn't matter
[13:39] <Ben64> it'd be something running
[13:39] <waaataaw> ohh
[13:39] <waaataaw> i've got scrollback set to unlimited
[13:39] <waaataaw> it would have been millions and millions of lines of output
[13:40] <Ben64> yeah that shouldn't affect /tmp at least
[13:40] <waaataaw> even for 1 - 10m lines?
[13:40] <waaataaw> i mean i wasn't opening files..
[13:40] <waaataaw> literally it was sql query for 100 results, sha1 those results, do an insert... repeat a million times
[13:41] <Ben64> waaataaw: i guess its possible
[13:41] <waaataaw> i've limited to 10k now :)
[13:41] <waaataaw> at least i can clear it out
[13:41] <Ben64> waaataaw: type "yes" on a terminal and see if /tmp loses space?
[13:41] <waaataaw> wihtout rebooting
[13:42] <waaataaw> haha yes
[13:43] <Ben64> waaataaw: ha, confirmed. i set my scrollback to unlimited and now i'm watching /tmp lose space
[13:44] <mcphail> nice piece of detective work there. I've learned something new today!
[13:44] <waaataaw> yeah amazing :)
[13:45] <Ben64> apparently it writes to a deleted file, because the file does not exist still
[13:45] <Ben64> very strange
[13:45] <waaataaw> after ben mentioned the terminal window closing down.. i'm like.. there's no files we have open
[13:45] <waaataaw> and my brother is like.. does it store the terminal scrollbackk.. and i'm like ermmmmm
[13:45] <expl> How i make close XServer?
[13:45] <waaataaw> i've set it to 20,000
[13:46] <waaataaw> should be enough
[13:46] <waaataaw> lol
[13:46] <k1l> expl: can you explain that a bit more?
[13:46] <expl> kll: I want make Terminal without XServer
[13:47] <courttv> expl: just install server
[13:48] <k1l> expl: you want your ubuntu to boot and not showing the xserver? use text as boot kernel setup

[13:49] <ArshiaAghaei> How to let ubuntu to install untrusted packages ??
[13:49] <mcphail> expl: you can type "ctrl-alt-f2" to drop to a console, log in and type "sudo service lightdm stop" to close the running xserver
[13:50] <expl> courttv: I only want do that sometimes when battery low or make sudo -s. CTRL + ALT + F1
[13:50] <CtrlAltDelicious> Hey everyone.
[13:50] <k1l> expl: sudo lightdm stop. but it doesnt bring you a lot more battery live
[13:50] <CtrlAltDelicious> Im working with Ubuntu, and Apache. I am trying to install the IMAP extenstion. I keep getting an error.  IMAP doesn't exist. PHP must be compiled with IMAP enabled.
[13:52] <CtrlAltDelicious> Where is PHP configured?  Do I just add extension=imap.so to the php.ini, or is there a different config file?
[13:52] <expl> kll; OK. Thank you.

[13:56] <CtrlAltDelicious> somsip: Haha, thanks.. thats all i was missing... the sudo php5enmod imap
[13:56] <XinJoai> Hello, using "youtube-dl" command line tool I need to install "avconv" or "ffmpeg", are they in the repos?
[13:56] <somsip> CtrlAltDelicious: yeah - some php mods need it, others don't
[13:56] <cfhowlett> XinJoai, neither.
[13:57] <somsip> !find avconv | XinJoai
[13:57] <CtrlAltDelicious> somsip: Is that essentially just adding it to the configs?
[13:57] <cod> Probably a super noob question here. I just opened up filezilla, and opened the local /home dir. There is only one folder here. I was oping to see my home dir which has the standard documents, downloads, music etc folders. I assume filezilla is launching as root? or something? and thus has different local folders, how do i find the home i seek? :D
[13:57] <cfhowlett> XinJoai, unless you're transcoding the video ... avconv
[13:57] <somsip> CtrlAltDelicious: not sure what it does. It makes it work, which is what I care about
[13:57] <somsip> XinJoai: so, libav-tools will give you avconbv
[13:57] <expl> Is this good guide for Ubuntu Linux? http://beginlinux.com/desktop/ubuntu
[13:57] <XinJoai> thank you guys !
[13:58] <k1l> expl: no
[13:58] <k1l> expl: why dont you use the official ubuntu guides?
[13:58] <daftykins> cod: /home is /home no matter what user the program runs as. try going to / and glancing around
[13:59] <courttv> expl: you can kill  LIGHTDM or what ever window manager  you are using also.
[13:59] <ikonia> home will be, where it was set to be at user creation, normally /home
[13:59] <dw1> omg http://www.itworld.com/article/2699063/enterprise-software/install-stunt-rally-open-source-racing-game-in-ubuntu-14-04.html
[14:00] <expl> kll: I read guide too but its hard.
[14:00] <ikonia> then start with easier tasks
[14:01] <k1l> expl: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners/FAQ
[14:02] <expl> kll: What this command does? sudo gobbledegook blah_blah -w -t -h --long-switch aWkward/ComBinationOf/mixedCase/underscores_strokes/and.dots
[14:02] <expl> kll: OK. I will read.
[14:02] <k1l> expl: stop starting everything with sudo!
[14:03] <expl> kll: I follow Guide for Terminal
[14:04] <soulisson> Hi, i've installed logwatch with postfix, i'd like to receive reports on my gmail or outlook account. For now it doesn't work, any idea how can i solve this problem?
[14:04] <k1l> expl: stop that bad guides
[14:04] <expl> kll: It's Ubuntu Website guide!!??
[14:05] <k1l> expl: where?
[14:05] <ikonia> expl: what guide are you following
[14:05] <expl> kll: This https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[14:06] <k1l> expl: you need to read. dont just copy the commands blindly
[14:06] <k1l> expl: that command you posted is an example and is explained in the text. you need to start reading. if you just copy and paste the commands you will ruin your ubuntu
[14:07] <courttv> expl: sudo service lightdm stop. Will stop the desktop running your battery down. Might give blank screen. Just use the ctrl+alt+f1 to cycle.
[14:08] <expl> courttV: TAHKN YOU!
[14:09] <courttv> expl: replace lightdm with gdm if you have gnome. Or whatever Windows manager your login screen uses.
[14:10] <expl> courtv: That command not lower battery. It remove XServer :(
[14:11] <ikonia> it does not remove the X server
[14:11] <ikonia> it stops the xserver running
[14:11] <courttv> expl: sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop. Try that
[14:11] <expl> ikonis: Yes. That What I Say.
[14:12] <ikonia> expl: no, you said "it remove Xserver"
[14:12] <expl> ikonia: It remove from running.
[14:13] <ikonia> expl: thats what you wanted
[14:13] <ikonia> you asked how to stop it
[14:13] <courttv> expl: Try issuing the command in a virtual terminal.
[14:13] <expl> courtV: That lower Battery?
[14:14] <jatt> how long lasts your battery?
[14:14] <expl> I make stop with sudo lightdm stop. I think battery is lower.
[14:14] <ikonia> it will not save you much
[14:14] <ikonia> expl: do you want to use a desktop environment yes/no
[14:15] <expl> jatt: 3 Hour
[14:15] <courttv> expl: if you issue the command in a virtual terminal ctrl+alt+f1 you need the complete path. sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop
[14:16] <ikonia> expl: do you want to use a gui ?
[14:16] <jatt> are you sure X is draining your battery?
[14:16] <expl> Ikonia: I want use sometimes.
[14:17] <ikonia> I suggest that is not a good way to "learn"
[14:17] <ikonia> but that is up to you
[14:17] <courttv> expl: replace stop with start to restart unity.
[14:18] <ArshiaAghaei> Can anyone tell me how to solve Untrusted packages problem ???
[14:18] <expl> courttv: Can I turn Off Everything Unless Terminal?
[14:18] <popey> ArshiaAghaei: what are you trying to install/do ?
[14:18] <jatt> boot in single user mode
[14:19] <jatt> then everything is turned off but a terminal
[14:19] <courttv> expl: that command does it. You will always have a few virtual terminals

[14:21] <ArshiaAghaei> popey: Ubuntu software center
[14:22] <jatt> #asm
[14:22] <popey> ArshiaAghaei: can you screenshot or pastebin the exact message you're getting?
[14:22] <ArshiaAghaei> popey: Ok
[14:23] <courttv> expl: install a lightweight desktop like Xfce. I think, not sure, you will lose all power saving features of the desktop. I believe you are running laptop.  The screen most power.
[14:23] <courttv> expl: install a lightweight desktop like Xfce. I think, not sure, you will lose all power saving features of the desktop. I believe you are running laptop.  The screen uses most power.

[14:26] <ArshiaAghaei> popey: My terminal is busy. So, I cannot start the download for MonoDevelop. Please wait...
[14:26] <discovery> it was possible Ubuntu 14.04 on Raspberry Pi + ?
[14:27] <popey> discovery: no

[14:27] <communiversitySA> ijhvgiugihi
[14:27] <discovery> i need this GUI "Unity, Gnome, KDE, Xfce, Cinnamon and LXDE"
[14:27] <discovery> On Rasp it was possible ?
[14:27] <popey> discovery: not with ubuntu
[14:27] <popey> discovery: maybe with Raspbian (debian)
[14:27] <discovery> and with raspbian ?
[14:28] <discovery> im on rasp
[14:28] <discovery> atm
[14:28] <popey> discovery: but we can't help with that here.
[14:28] <discovery> yup
[14:28] <discovery> iknow :D
[14:28] <k1l> discovery: there is not ubuntu for raspberry pi because the ARM chip os not supported
[14:28] <discovery> m'okay
[14:28] <k1l> so see the support from that OS you are running on your rpi
[14:28] <discovery> Gnone Desktop work on Rasp for you ?
[14:28] <discovery> :s
[14:28] <popey> discovery: not on ubuntu
[14:28] <discovery> on rasp :p
[14:29] <popey> this is #ubuntu
[14:29] <ArshiaAghaei> popey: How to send my screen-shot ? i don't see this ability in paste-bin.
[14:29] <somsip> discovery: /join #raspbian
[14:29] <popey> ArshiaAghaei: just do "apt-cache policy monodevelop" for now
[14:31] <ArshiaAghaei> popey: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9898811/
[14:31] <popey> ArshiaAghaei: what happens if you "sudo apt-get install monodevelop" ? - can you pastebin that?
[14:32] <ArshiaAghaei> popey: Ok , let's try it.
[14:32] <LurkAshFlake> The wi-fi of my school is Tuneled tls, it ask me for username password and ca certificate, what certificate do i give/ how do i connect?
[14:33] <popey> LurkAshFlake: you probably need to speak to your school helpdesk, but your username and password should be issued to you.
[14:34] <LurkAshFlake> i do have password and username
[14:39] <expl> How can man:/ls Firefox?
[14:39] <jatt> man:/ls Firefox?
[14:39] <k1l> expl: that command ist just wrong. what do you want to do?
[14:40] <courttv> expl: You want the man for Firefox.
[14:41] <expl> I WANT PRETTY MANUAL PAGES
[14:41] <GatoLoko> expl: do not write in all caps, it is against the rules. Next time you will be expelled.
[14:41] <expl> oops
[14:41] <ikonia> expl: you're not going to get them
[14:41] <ikonia> expl: the man pages are normally all text
[14:41] <ikonia> expl: you can use the web interface to view web formatted versions
[14:41] <expl> Prettier Manual Pages
[14:41] <expl> Users who have Konqueror installed will be pleased to find they can read and search man pages in a web browser context, prettified with their chosen desktop fonts and a little colour, by visiting man:/command in Konqueror's address bar. Some people might find this lightens the load if there's lots of documentation to read/search.
[14:42] <courttv> expl: nice
[14:42] <jatt> man -H
[14:42] <k1l> expl: again: read what is written and not just copy and paste the commands
[14:42] <jatt> opens the man page in a browser
[14:42] <marc__> hi everyone
[14:42] <k1l> expl: its says "in Konqueror" not "in terminal"
[14:42] <popey> expl: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/  you could use that
[14:42] <expl> kll: I use Firefox
[14:43] <ikonia> expl: the docs say "in konqueror"
[14:43] <ikonia> expl: not "in firefox"
[14:43] <k1l> expl: your statement doesnt make sense
[14:43] <popey> expl: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ls for example redirects to the man page for ls
[14:43] <jatt> BROWSER=firefox man -H ls
[14:43] <popey> he uses firefox and wants the ability to view pretty man pages like konq can
[14:43] <popey> seems pretty simple
[14:43] <popey> but firefox doesn't have that ability
[14:43] <ikonia> popey: I think it can parse them, just doens't reformat them
[14:43] <popey> right
[14:44] <brothersome> TIME
[14:44] <popey> Tue Jan 27 14:44:35 UTC 2015
[14:44] <popey> :)
[14:45] <expl> popey: YES.
[14:46] <courttv> expl: install the kde program that works on.
[14:46] <ArshiaAghaei> popey: A question, will this code install VB.NET ???
[14:46] <jatt> you can also use yelp man:ls to prettify man pages if you use gnome/xfce
[14:46] <popey> ArshiaAghaei: uh, no.
[14:47] <ArshiaAghaei> popey: Hmm...
[14:47] <ArshiaAghaei> popey: Then how to install VB.Net Compiler ???
[14:48] <jatt> there is the mcs compiler
[14:48] <jatt> for linux
[14:49] <cfhowlett> ArshiaAghaei, best to use windows OS for windows tools.
[14:49] <ArshiaAghaei> cfhowlett: Let's think i have windows , but i want to use GNU-Linux
[14:50] <cfhowlett> ArshiaAghaei, use gcc compiler
[14:50] <ArshiaAghaei> cfhowlett: for VB.net ???!!!!!!
[14:50] <jatt> mcs compiler for vb.net, sort of
[14:51] <brothersome> Windows ---> mingw-gcc compiler  - to create exe programs
[14:51] <ArshiaAghaei> jatt: how to get MCS
[14:51] <cfhowlett> ArshiaAghaei, vb is visual basic is microsoft
[14:51] <jatt> apt-get install you can also
[14:51] <jatt> apt-get install mono-mcs
[14:51] <ArshiaAghaei> jatt: Thanks.
[14:51] <ArshiaAghaei> cfhowlett: I know , VB.NET is Microsoft Visual Basic.Net
[14:52] <jatt> oh! forget what I said then I though you wanted a C# compiler
[14:52] <cocomo> how do i intall flash player on ubuntu 14.04 to run on chrome?
[14:52] <jatt> Visual Basic on linux... hmm tough
[14:52] <cfhowlett> ArshiaAghaei, and my statement holds: best to use MICROSOFT for MICROSOFT tools such as VB
[14:52] <cocomo> FLASH PLAYER install how-to plz
[14:53] <cfhowlett> !flash | cocomo
[14:53] <courttv> cocomo: chrome has its own. Chromium don't. Go to the chrome web site and install that version.
[14:53] <jatt> most sites use html5 now I think?
[14:53] <cocomo> courttv: it has its own flash player?
[14:53] <popey> cocomo: yeah, chrome has flash built i
[14:53] <popey> *in
[14:53] <ArshiaAghaei> cfhowlett: I know. I have windows 7 SP1 , I have Visual Studio 2013 and ... But i want to have some code with .NET
[14:53] <k1l> cocomo: install pepperflash plugin. but i think chrome should already bring flash support
[14:53] <popey> cocomo: note there's a difference between chrome and chromium
[14:53] <cocomo> wth mine isn't working
[14:54] <ArshiaAghaei> In GNU-Linux
[14:54] <cocomo> popey: i have chrome from google's website
[14:54] <popey> it should have flash then
[14:54] <courttv> cocomo: chrome does. But it's not in ubuntu repository. That's why you need to go the chrome website to download and install.
[14:55] <cocomo> courttv: i see. thank you
[14:55] <brothersome> ArshiaAghaei, Program in WIndows, Use in Linux
[14:55] <yogg> Hi
[14:55] <courttv> cocomo: chromium is in the repository. But don't have built in flash.
[14:57] <GeekDude> I've got a program running in a named screen instance. I want to send a command to it's StdIn using a bash script. "screen -x instancename -X say test" doesn't seem to work, but I have no idea what to do

[15:01] <yogg> wrong channel
[15:01] <marc__> It is true that LMDE is a rolling release?
[15:01] <k1l> marc__: we dont know about linux mint in here :)
[15:01] <cfhowlett> marc__, there are no ubuntu rolling releases
[15:01] <marc__> LMDE is Linux Mint based on Debian
[15:02] <cfhowlett> marc__, not ubuntu, not supported here, not discussed
[15:02] <marc__> I am not asking about Ubuntu
[15:02] <k1l> marc__: see /topic to know that this is not the right channel for non ubuntu stuff :)
[15:02] <cfhowlett> marc__, then we're not discussing it
[15:02] <somsip> marc__: exactly - *this* is the ubuntu support channel.
[15:02] <marc__> I am asking about bLMDE, which is a Linux Mint distro
[15:03] <cfhowlett> !mint | marc__
[15:03] <marc__> Ah sorry.... lol, I didnt see I was logged in to Ubuntu...
[15:03] <marc__> thinking I had the Linux Mint channel open
[15:04] <marc__> My wrong, sorry
[15:07] <noah> Is there a way to make a button get automatically pressed during the boot sequence. It's because my up key always sticks at boot. If I press space it will unstick it.
[15:10] <pybe> GeekDude: its meant for sending screen commands, you can send things using stuff but its a bit funky
[15:14] <pybe> GeekDude: try screen -S sessionname -x 'ls -alh'`echo -ne '\015'`
[15:14] <GeekDude> uhh, what exactly is that supposed to do?
[15:15] <pybe> sorry you need stuff after the -x
[15:15] <pybe> ok -S session name defines session to connect to
[15:16] <GeekDude> It connected me to the session
[15:16] <GeekDude> however, `screen -S sessionname -X things` doesn't appear to have any effect
[15:16] <pybe> -x stuff 'ls -alh' tells it to stuff ls -alh to the command line
[15:17] <Pici> But ls quits as soon as it is done, so it isn't going to stay running under a screen.
[15:17] <GeekDude> "-x   Attach to a not detached screen  session."
[15:17] <GeekDude> " -X   Send the specified command to a running screen  session."
[15:18] <pybe> `echo -ne '\015'` sends enter key
[15:18] <pybe> have to use stuff
[15:19] <pybe> screen -S my-session -x stuff 'my command'`echo -ne '\015'`
[15:20] <pybe> if you leave out stuff it wont work
[15:20] <geirha> use $'\r' instead of `echo...`
[15:20] <GeekDude> ah, sorry. I was missing teh stuff keyword
[15:20] <GeekDude> seems to be working now
[15:21] <pybe> thanks geirha always good to learn new thinngs
[15:21] <metric_> can someone help me add a xubuntu box to a windows domain?  or point me in the right direction?
[15:21] <kubanc> Hello, where can I change the mice splash screen image in Xubuntu 14.04? Anyone knows where is the location of the image?
[15:22] <metric_> i've tried via installing a kerberos client per the ubuntu documentation and have had zero success
[15:23] <jatt> kubanc: is part of one of the plymouth-* packages
[15:23] <hroi> can a user crontab use @reboot on ubuntu?   it used to not be allowed I think
[15:23] <kubanc> jatt, where is the location of that package?
[15:23] <r0b0r> what is the preferred video editting suite amongst you all?
[15:24] <r0b0r> NLE
[15:24] <communiversitySA> hihiohoi[
[15:24] <jatt> kubanc: you can check whether it's installed with
[15:24] <jatt> dpkg -l | grep plymouth
[15:26] <CataLau> how can i instal a C compiler??
[15:26] <metric_> caclau: look for gcc
[15:26] <jatt> ... or clang
[15:27] <kubanc> jatt, I've got some results, but I do not see anything about mice splash...
[15:27] <metric_> caclau: i;ve use sudo apt-get install gcc
[15:28] <GeekDude> geirha: Shouldn't I be using \n, not \r?
[15:29] <metric_> has anyone successfully joined an ubuntu box to a windows domain
[15:29] <jatt> kubanc: at least on my machine
[15:29] <jatt> dpkg -L plymouth-theme-xubuntu-logo
[15:29] <jatt> lists the file: /lib/plymouth/themes/xubuntu-logo/wallpaper.png
[15:29] <jatt> which is what I see when my machine is booting
[15:29] <cfhowlett> !samba | metric_,
[15:29] <Pici> CataLau: you'd be interested in installing the build-essential metapackage. It includes pretty much everything you'd need to compile.
[15:29] <CataLau> i have instal gcc-3.3.... but i have the same problem
[15:29] <geirha> GeekDude: When you hit the Enter key on the keyboard, while the terminal is in focus, the terminal actually receives \r, not \n.
[15:29] <GeekDude> Interesting
[15:30] <metric_> cfhowlett, ubottu: I've tried but ill try again thanks
[15:30] <jatt> metric_: I use a ubuntu box on a windows network, but not to login to a windows domain. I can resolve to all machines in the lan with the winbind package
[15:31] <CataLau> i have install tehe build-esential to....stil not working
[15:31] <metric_> jatt: ive installed the winbind package. im really trying to set up a PXE server
[15:31] <Pici> CataLau: And what problem is that?
[15:32] <metric_> I figure I'd add the ubuntu box to the windows domain and then set up the PXE server
[15:32] <jatt> metric_: I see I don't know anything aabout pxe, is that a voice ip server?
[15:32] <metric_> to install windows remotely
[15:32] <jatt> I see
[15:33] <metric_> jatt: pxe is the preboot env and it allows you to install different OSes remotely. Im trying to set up a lab environment
[15:33] <hroi> seem users are not allowed to use crontab   @reboot
[15:34] <r_await> what kind of lab?
[15:34] <CataLau> i want to configure somthing and i have this error "checking for C compiler....not found"
[15:34] <jatt> install gcc
[15:34] <metric_> r_await: a student lab
[15:34] <Pici> CataLau: And you were able to install build-essential without errors?
[15:34] <r_await> apt-get install gcc
[15:34] <tonyc__> can someone help me make sure I have my intel graphics installed and setup properly?
[15:35] <metric_> we host courses here for interenal and external training and i really dont feel like installing win7 manually on 50+ computers
[15:35] <cfhowlett> tonyc__, get the linux graphics driver installer, install, run the app.  done.
[15:36] <tonyc__> I have done that but things still don't work right
[15:36] <cfhowlett> tonyc__, are you certain you have an intel gpu?
[15:36] <CataLau> jatt: i have gcc
[15:36] <tonyc__> it is integrated 865G chipset
[15:36] <BluesKaj> tonyc__, in the terminal lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use'
[15:37] <CataLau> Pici: no error.
[15:37] <tonyc__> "kernel driver in use i915"
[15:37] <r_await> Catalau - There might be a log file in the directory you are working in which discribes your problem
[15:37] <BluesKaj> tonyc__, then yopu have the correct driver for the gpu in the 965 chipset
[15:38] <tonyc__> 865 chipset
[15:38] <BluesKaj> yes tonyc__ that too
[15:38] <tonyc__> OK, good, i think
[15:38] <tonyc__> how do i go about trouble shooting video problems?
[15:38] <CataLau> rawait where i can find that file?
[15:39] <BluesKaj> describe your video problems, tonyc__
[15:39] <CataLau> make install don`t work to
[15:39] <tonyc__> First problem is I can't play MP4 files in parole or VLC
[15:39] <kubanc> jatt, thank you, jsust changed the logo
[15:39] <kubanc> :D
[15:39] <jatt> good!
[15:40] <cfhowlett_> tonyc__, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[15:40] <tonyc__> the xubuntu restricted extras is already installed, is that different than the ubuntu pack?
[15:40] <cfhowlett_> tonyc__, you're on xubuntu then xubuntu, etc
[15:41] <cfhowlett_> also: get glxgears to test your gpu
[15:41] <tonyc__> sudo apt-get glxgears?
[15:42] <BluesKaj> sudo apt-get install glxgears

[15:42] <noah> Is there a way to set ubuntu to automatically press a button during bootup.
[15:42] <BluesKaj> tonyc__, try mesa-utils
[15:42] <jatt> why don't run the command triggered by the button?
[15:43] <tonyc__> i already have mesa-utils
[15:43] <hroi> actually seesm cron @reboot is out of the question... I've read it initializes too early
[15:43] <hroi> I need run level 2  to start a script for me after run-level2
[15:43] <hroi> can I use init.d in some way?
[15:44] <BluesKaj> tonyc__, then run glxgears in the terminal

[15:50] <Flusher> hi, I can't find anything about CVE-2015-0235 on http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/main.html : any news about this ?
[15:50] <yasserhussain111> why is everyone so quiet here?
[15:51] <noah> yasserhussain111: well do you have a problem?
[15:51] <daftykins> yasserhussain111: it is a support channel, not a chat channel
[15:51] <yasserhussain111> well alright. I am just a newbie. I don't know much
[15:51] <cfhowlett_> !ask | yasserhussain111,
[15:52] <metric_> so now i have a really interesting error..... sudo: account validation failure, is your account locked?
[15:52] <tonyc__> OK, glxgears now runs properly, i think, even though  my refresh rate for my monitor seems wrong
[15:52] <metric_> any ideas. i found a post on a bug forum but no luck since i cant modify the pam.d config
[15:52] <davout> is there a way to update glibc to 2.18? CVE-2015-0235 related
[15:53] <jon1012> hi
[15:53] <jon1012> is the fis for CVE-2015-0235 available for ubuntu ?
[15:53] <tonyc__> looks like mp4 videos in Parole play now
[15:53] <jon1012> fix*
[15:53] <tonyc__> but video quality seems to be lacking
[15:53] <noah> ubottu: I now your a bot but... Wow that's specific. :)
[15:54] <k1l> Flusher: what issue is it? seems its just a reservation not an acutaly publisehd issue yet: http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2015-0235
[15:54] <daftykins> tonyc__: rather than sharing comments as per your discovery, can you save them up and phrase an actual support query please?
[15:54] <jelly> davout, jon1012: wait for the distro to release patched packages.
[15:54] <jelly> k1l: there is some info in the redhat bugzilla linked there
[15:54] <Pici> jon1012, Flusher: I don't see anything out there for debian yet, so likely not for Ubuntu either.
[15:54] <tonyc__> sure.  So now that MP4 files play, how do i get hardware acceleration in chrome to work?
