I've got 2 R9 270x's in this machine with a monitor connected to the dvi-i port on each. While both adapters show up in both the atisysteminforeport and in lspci, I'm getting no love from the second card. I've tried enabling it in amdcccle and after reboot that device is re-disabled. I'm running xubuntu 14.04.
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> catalase: thats nothing to do with Ubuntu support
[00:02] <ubuntoer> ActionParsnip: nope, grub menu shows but it won`t boot ubuntu (cursor blinking forever)
[00:03] <Beldar> !language | catalase
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> ubuntoer: what GPU do you use?
[00:03] <zerofiat> using stock fglrx from software center
[00:04] <ubuntoer> ActionParsnip: Nvidia GTX550Ti... i know it`s not powerful but I think it should run ubuntu
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> ubuntoer: its fine. I run it on a much lesser nvidia
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> ubuntoer: have you tried the boot option: nouvea.blacklist=1
[00:05] <Node_409> hello
[00:05] <Node_409> i think im about to kill myself with this problem
[00:05] <ubuntoer> ActionParsnip: nope
[00:05] <Node_409> i had this fucking issue for two hours now
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> ubuntoer: worth a try
[00:05] <Node_409> im about to pull my hair out
[00:05] <IdleOne> Please stop with the swearing
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> Node_409: keep it family friendly please
[00:06] <Node_409> anyone else had issues with nvidia and a fresh reformat of ubuntu
[00:06] <Node_409> the screen keep changing resolution
[00:06] <Node_409> when i go into settings
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> Node_409: try the boot option: nouvea.blacklist=1
[00:06] <Node_409> or whatever
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> Node_409: or do you actually have the proprietary driver installed and you actually get to the desktop?
[00:07] <zerofiat> afk
[00:07] <ubuntoer> ActionParsnip: ok... to do that I have to type that option directly on grub menu (edit mode), right?
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> ubuntoer: yes
[00:07] <ubuntoer> ActionParsnip: nice. lemme try. thank you
[00:07] <Node_409> http://askubuntu.com/questions/317906/ubuntu-randomly-change-resolution-by-itself-to-1024x768
[00:07] <Node_409> this is the issue im having
[00:07] <Node_409> except it's happening all the itme
[00:08] <Node_409> it could take 5 minutes, or 5 seconds
[00:08] <Node_409> whenver i go into my system settings, if i;m in 1024x768 i go into 1920x1080, or vice-versa
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> Node_409: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue
[00:08] <Node_409> when its in 1024x768 my monitor name is called CRT-0, and in 1080p is my real monitor
[00:09] <Node_409> Ubuntu 14.04 LTS \n \l
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> Node_409: tried running: sudo nvidia-xconfig
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> Node_409: then rebooting
[00:10] <[[lutchy]]> trism, I really appreciate you helping me thus far, is that right ? http://pastebin.com/BkXL3ZC1 .... I can userstand  better ?
[00:10] <Node_409> i think i did that
[00:10] <Node_409> still
[00:10] <Node_409> im kinda curious nonetheless, how Ubuntu can have such an issue with modern-day computers?
[00:10] <Node_409> are we back in 1998?
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> Node_409: its probably not the computer. My guess is its the screen
[00:11] <Node_409> no its not
[00:11]  * dw1 loves Ubuntu
[00:11] <Node_409> i changed screen, and to the integrated cpu graphics
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> Node_409: im betting it isnt reporting EDID properly
[00:12] <Node_409> some stupid programmer at ubuntu HQ decided it would be a good idea to "auto detect" the screen resolutions wheneve ryou went into system settings, or used any application in ubuntu
[00:12] <Node_409> instead of just asking " SIR, WHAT RESOLUTION DO YOU WISH TO HAVE ?"
[00:12] <martianlobster> I am using 12.04  update-manager does not see 12.10   How can I make it see 12.10 so I can upgrade?
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> Node_409: i suggest you make an xorg.conf using the command I gave. You may need to play with the settings til you get an ok output
[00:12] <Node_409> yes
[00:12] <Node_409> i created a xorg.conf file as you said now
[00:13] <Node_409> still, i went into sudo nvidia-settings
[00:13] <Node_409> and choose frmo "resoution : auto" to "1920x1080"
[00:13] <Node_409> shit didnt save tho
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> martianlobster: you need to edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal
[00:13] <Node_409> so after i have written that command, what should i do after
[00:13] <daftykins> keep the language friendly please.
[00:14] <martianlobster> ActionParsnip: thanks!
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> martianlobster: then run: sudo do-release-upgrade
[00:14] <martianlobster> thx again!
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> Node_409: reboot and see if the xorg.conf makes things nice
[00:14] <savid> I'm experiencing a very frustrating issue with my bluetooth keyboard. It has fresh batteries, but every once in awhile the power management icon says the keyboard has low battery then it disconnects the keyboard.
[00:14] <Node_409> okay
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> martianlobster: default of LTS is to look for the next LTS so you now told it to look for the between releases
[00:15] <martianlobster> ok cool
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> martianlobster: id just wait til 14.04.1 then you can upgrade LTS tobLTS
[00:16] <Node_243> im back again
[00:16] <martianlobster> I kind of broke my box. I have no toolbar and only one workspace
[00:17] <Node_243> well, the FDE screen is in the wrong resolution, so was my login screen, when i came in desktop it was 1080p
[00:17] <martianlobster> I was hoping  an upgrade would fix it
[00:17] <Node_243> then when i was logging into chat
[00:17] <Node_243> the screen went black for around 20 seconds
[00:17] <Node_243> and still 1080p
[00:17] <Node_243> does that mean its fixed? i have had so much of this in 2 hours now that i think its normal
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> Node_243: then run: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> Node_243: if its normal then you are done
[00:18] <Node_243> no it is not normal
[00:18] <Node_243> its not fucking supposed to switch around resolution giving me seizures every minute
[00:18] <Node_243> thats not normal
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> Node_243: ok then edit the file and start playing with settings
[00:19] <Node_243> ok im calm
[00:19] <Node_243> now what do i do next, master
[00:19] <ActionParsnip> Node_243: if you rename the xorg.conf file and reboot, you can read /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> Node_243: see what happens as the X server is setup
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> Node_243: or you can edit xorg.conf and look for samples online for how you can edit the file.
[00:22] <Node_243> oaky
[00:23] <Node_243> i renamed it
[00:23] <Node_243> and i opened it
[00:23] <Node_243> now it was empty
[00:23] <Node_243> what do i do next, master ?
[00:24] <IdleOne> drop the attitude and reboot, then check /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see if anything pops out at you.
[00:24] <Blaster> Hey I'm trying to install Windows 7 in a Virtualbox on Ubuntu 14.04.   I have a Windows 7 CD in the cd-rom drive, but it's not listed on Virtualbox's bootable media list.  All I see is "Host Drive" listed.   What do I need to do for Vbox to recognize the CD?
[00:24] <Node_243> okay
[00:25] <Node_243> the resolution doesnt seem to switch around anymore
[00:25] <Node_243> it just goes black for a second or two
[00:25] <Node_243> like it used to before, when switching
[00:26] <ka>  how can i make minecraft.jar executable
[00:26] <Node_243> im pretty new to ubuntu
[00:26] <Node_243> there are loads of text in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[00:26] <ka> me?
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> Ka: if you like, if you make a launcher to: java /path/to/minecraft.jar ,it can be used in Unity easily
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> Ka: there isna guide how to add it with a PPA.
[00:27] <ka> ok so thats java jar or waht
[00:27] <Node_243> actionparsnip the savior of ubuntu, how shall i proceed next
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> Node_243: yes its the X server coming up, look for errors and warnings
[00:28] <Node_243> where do i look for errors
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> Node_243: in the log file.....where else?
[00:29] <ka> Error: Could not find or load main class .home.karen.Downloads.Minecraft.jar
[00:29] <Node_243> i cleaned the log file
[00:29] <Node_243> and now im replecating the issue
[00:29] <Node_243> yet nothing is appearing in the logs
[00:30] <Node_243> can you tell me, what function is used when im pressing on "System settings" or "monitor"
[00:30] <Node_243> because when i press
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> Ka: does: java /home/karen/Downloads/Minecraft.jar ,work?
[00:30] <Node_243> screen goes black for a second or two
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> Node_243: if you are using the Nvidia proprietary drivers you want to be using nvidia-settings
[00:31] <ka> thats the path
[00:31] <ka> im positive
[00:31] <Node_243> okay
[00:31] <Node_243> i went sudo nvidia-settings now
[00:31] <Node_243> what do i do there?
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> Ka: yes, does it work?
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> Node_243: setup the display there....
[00:31] <ka> no Error: Could not find or load main class .home.karen.Downloads.Minecraft.jar
[00:32] <Node_243> but what am i supposed to setup
[00:32] <Node_243> resolution is set at auto
[00:32] <Node_243> shall i place it at my res i want?
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> Ka: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> Node_243: yes...what else could it be?
[00:32] <ka> Error: Could not find or load main class .home.karen.Downloads.Minecraft.jar
[00:32] <ka> thats output
[00:33] <Node_243> Save to X.configuration file?
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> Node_243: the application is called 'nvidia-settings' so what else could it possibly be?
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> Ka: no, again. What is the output of: cat /etc/issue
[00:33] <ka> oh sorry
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> Ka: /etc/issue will have nothing to do with Minecraft ;)
[00:34] <Node_243> okay
[00:34] <ka> Ubuntu 12.10 \n \l
[00:34] <Node_243> i have setup with nvidia-settings now
[00:34] <Node_243> and saved to x.org
[00:34] <ka> y
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> Node_243: so what else could it be used for if its not for resolution settings?
[00:35] <Node_243> but
[00:35] <Node_243> when i restart nvidia-settings
[00:35] <Node_243> the settings i placed, arent there anymore ?
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> Ka: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/04/minecraft-installer-for-ubuntu
[00:36] <Node_243> and how is this exactly going to fix my issue
[00:36] <Node_243> with ubuntu detecting, something weird
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> Node_243: if you wrote to xorg.conf then restart X or reboot and it should apply
[00:36] <Node_243> whenever i go to system settings, etc, screen goes black and my monitor name changes to CRT-0
[00:37] <Node_243> and when i shut down system settings
[00:37] <Node_243> and go into it again
[00:37] <Node_243> its back to the regular name
[00:37] <Node_243> and so forth
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> Node_243: sounds like the monitor isnt reporting edid properly
[00:37] <Node_243> okay?
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> Node_243: maybe the cable is bad
[00:38] <Node_243> its ubuntu
[00:38] <Node_243> not my cable
[00:38] <hallwaxer> hi there, i have an issue with connecting to a location on my network.  I enter the ip - smb://198.168.1.xx (obviously, I don't enter xx), and i'm getting a blank folder.  Interestingly, it worked only 20 minutes ago.  Any ideas/suggestions?
[00:38] <Node_243> this mess, of a operating system, completely unstable and cant even run on prop drivers without issues, jesus christ man
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> Node_243: ive used nvidia from my first day in Linux and never had an issue. The only time ive seen video issues is with cheap screen and monitors.
[00:39] <Node_243> i had ubuntu before
[00:39] <Node_243> sasme screen, different video card
[00:39] <Node_243> no issues at all
[00:39] <ne0> hi
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> Node_243: then it could be a bug in the new version. It is very young
[00:40] <Node_243> no
[00:40] <Node_243> i used a 13.04 one
[00:40] <Node_243> from my laptop to my main
[00:40] <Node_243> and tried with that
[00:40] <Node_243> same issue
[00:40] <Node_243> but i thought that it would work if i reformat
[00:40] <Node_243> with the newer version
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> Node_243: if it worked in older versions and not the newer one then it could be a bug
[00:41] <Node_243> how odd, windows beats ubuntu on this one - doesnt come with hardware compability issues, which i thought it would be #1 at combating
[00:41] <Node_243> it didnt work in 13.04
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> Node_243: not sure how an OS beats another...sounds hilarious
[00:42] <Node_243> im sure it doesnt take 3 hours to get a video card working in windows
[00:42] <hallwaxer> ActionParsnip: http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=windows&word2=ubuntu
[00:42] <Node_243> im probably certain, my current version of ubuntu, has like 10 video drivers, because of how shitbuntu is coded nowadays
[00:43] <Node_243> im outt
[00:43] <Node_243> thanks for not helping
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> Node_243: depends on the video card.   It is broken.
[00:45] <hallwaxer> hi there, i have an issue with connecting to a location on my network.  I enter the ip - smb://198.168.1.xx (obviously, I don't enter xx), and i'm getting a blank folder.  Interestingly, it worked only 20 minutes ago.  Any ideas/suggestions?
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> happyfr0gg: in thenstart menu style thing?
[00:45] <hallwaxer> I've had it on a blank folder for approx 5-8 minutes, possibly 10 now.
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> hallwaxer: what OS is the server?
[00:45] <hallwaxer> ubuntu is 14.04, windows is....
[00:45] <hallwaxer> one moment
[00:46] <happyfr0gg> ActionParsnip - please say that again. I don't understand what you meant.
[00:46] <hallwaxer> windows 7 home premium
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> hallwaxer: so the system younare connecting to is Windows?
[00:46] <hallwaxer> yes
[00:47] <hallwaxer> it's to backup my files before i format and install
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> happyfr0gg: what is this application finder? Is it software centre?
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> hallwaxer: have younchecked event viewer in Windows? Have you tried rebooting the system?
[00:47] <[[lutchy]]> I can't find dev packages for flex, or lex
[00:47] <[[lutchy]]> Uh
[00:48] <[[lutchy]]> It's a bit irritating ....
[00:48] <happyfr0gg> ActionParsnip - no. It provides a listing of all apps on my Kubuntu system and can launch them.
[00:48] <robin_> need a little help with a dual monitor setup... kinda lost.
[00:49] <hallwaxer> ActionParsnip - i don't know what event viewer is or how to look at it, I do hear 'noises' from windows as i try and connect, but it's the same noise whether or not it's successful.  Should I reboot windows or Ubuntu.  I should point out that for now, I'm using ubuntu-live as I'm trying to backup the remaining files before I install and format.  Or perhaps the other way around.
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> happyfr0gg: is it the ALT+F2 menu in KDE?
[00:49] <[[lutchy]]> https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/flex/
[00:49] <[[lutchy]]> What's the DEV packages?
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> hallwaxer: you've never looked in the event viewer in Windows?
[00:50] <[R]> what is the difference between nvidia-331 and nvidia-331-updates?
[00:50] <hallwaxer> nope, never needed to
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> hallwaxer: not worked much with windows huh
[00:50] <hallwaxer> all my life?
[00:50]  * hallwaxer shrugs
[00:50] <georgeclooney> hey guys my software center refuses to start?
[00:50] <trism> [[lutchy]]: what dev package? just need the binaries to general lexers right? they are in the flex package
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> hallwaxer: when you get windows issues (especially in server) you head straight to the logs
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> hallwaxer: im guessing you havent managed servers then
[00:51] <hallwaxer> nope
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> hallwaxer: yep, desktop user.
[00:51] <[[lutchy]]> me and friend is trying to build a pckage from source, the dependency is flex or lex
[00:51] <dw1> georgeclooney: any good error messages when you run "software-center" from terminal?
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> hallwaxer: start with a reboot, windows likes that
[00:52] <trism> [[lutchy]]: then apt-get install flex; should do the job
[00:52] <hallwaxer> I have my own VPS which I use for my website, but that's not windows based - server or otherwise
[00:52] <dw1> georgeclooney: pastebin it
[00:52] <happyfr0gg> ActionParsnip - No.  The error dialog I get says: Could not load menu from (null)  File "menus/kde-applications.menu" not found
[00:53] <ActionParsnip> happyfr0gg: id ask in #kde and see how to resolve that, they may know
[00:55] <[[lutchy]]> trism, 'configure: error: could not locate a suitable lexical generator, install flex or lex.'
[00:56] <[[lutchy]]> alright
[00:56] <trism> [[lutchy]]: what are you building?
[00:56] <[[lutchy]]> thanks trism, that did it
[00:56] <[[lutchy]]> IRCD
[00:57] <[[lutchy]]> The guy I am working with just told something and I was looking for the wrong thing
[00:57] <[[lutchy]]> I told him just, let see the ./configure script, just install the flex did it
[00:58] <andrew> hi\

[00:59] <unopaste> georgeclooney you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted
[00:59] <andrew> any one gay ?
[01:00] <StephenS> !ops
[01:00] <dagroves> I dont think this is the channel to ask about that
[01:00] <butts> butts
[01:00] <andrew> no gays ?
[01:00] <andrew> ok
[01:00] <elky> andrew: this is a technical support channel, that's an inappropriate question
[01:01] <andrew> see were the love is
[01:01] <dagroves> I am but why does that matter here?
[01:01] <andrew> oh ok.
[01:01] <dagroves> There are plenty of other channels for that
[01:01] <andrew> such  as ? also i sent a a message.
[01:02] <rww> andrew: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support. It is not a channel-finding service. Ask elsewhere.
[01:03] <andrew> ok
[01:03] <andrew> how can i theme unity ?
[01:03] <BrianH> Hey guys.  How can I perform an upgrade from the install DVD?
[01:04] <dw1> BrianH: boot it and click Install should offer upgrade
[01:04] <andrew> if can theme unity let me know ok ?
[01:06] <nnnetboy> hi
[01:06] <nnnetboy> hello
[01:06] <BrianH> dw1: It only gives me the open to erase the disk, or "Something else" which just allows me to repartition the drives.
[01:06] <dw1> BrianH: hrm well i gave it my best guess. :P
[01:06] <dw1> BrianH: saw it suggested on the web for past versions
[01:07] <hallwaxer> how good is ubuntu with steam games now?
[01:07] <dw1> im sure a guru will answer soon :)
[01:07] <hallwaxer> is it comparable with windows in terms of performance and functionality/compatibility?
[01:08] <dw1> hallwaxer: its been good for a while i think
[01:08] <BrianH> dw1: I did something stupid and I'm trying to recover from it.  I've been having a headache of a time since the upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04, so I thought purging ubuntu-desktop and reinstalling would help.  Now I can't get the system to boot to X.
[01:09] <dw1> BrianH: ahh thats another matter then.... hmm
[01:10] <BrianH> It hangs on a black screen with a blinking terminal cursor.
[01:11] <dw1> BrianH: no boot menu to get to recovery mode ?
[01:12] <BrianH> I can boot to recovery from grub and drop to root
[01:13] <BrianH> I've tried reinstalling ubuntu-desktop and it says it's installed.  But it won't boot past the black screen with a blinking cursor when I attempt to boot normally.
[01:13] <dw1> BrianH: anything good at the bottom of /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[01:14] <BrianH> dw1: I'll check ...
[01:14] <Pessimist> BrianH, "won't boot past the black screen with a blinking cursor" says no information to us
[01:15] <dw1> BrianH: you might also try startx from prompt
[01:15] <dagroves> Can someone tell me how to make the XChat indicator show up in the task bar or whatever it is called on Elementary OS, no one is talking in their channel
[01:15] <dw1> BrianH: recovery shell prompt
[01:16] <spearson> Hi
[01:16] <dw1> dagroves: whats Elementary OS?  Ubuntu?
[01:16] <Pessimist> dagroves, elementary os is not supported here
[01:16] <spearson> how do I get right click on a Mac?
[01:16] <hallwaxer> buy a mouse
[01:16] <hallwaxer> or install windows
[01:16] <dagroves> I didnt think it was... argh their channel is dead
[01:16] <hallwaxer> (sorry, that was harsh).. option click I believe
[01:16] <spearson> I can plug in a mouse but how do I do it using the mouse botton and the control key?
[01:17] <spearson> didn't work for me
[01:17] <hallwaxer> command click/control click?
[01:17] <Deihmos> my laptop is so slow with ubuntu. There is a delay in everything I do. Scroling webpages is really slow
[01:17] <spearson> windows sux
[01:17] <hallwaxer> it's supposed to be one of those
[01:17] <spearson> hmmm
[01:17] <dw1> spearson: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=921609 looks useful
[01:17] <dw1> spearson: kind of old tho
[01:17] <spearson> ?
[01:18] <spearson> sorry
[01:18] <spearson> I 'll look
[01:18] <spearson> I tried what the last post instructed but it doesn't work
[01:18] <spearson> I logged out and logged back in
[01:18] <spearson> would I have to restart?
[01:19] <spearson> using ubuntu 13.10
[01:19] <BrianH> dw1: Interesting.  It's hitting a fatal error, "no screens found(EE)" and then terminates.  Just before that, it shows a bunch of UnloadModules with "(EE) Device(s) detected, but none match those in the config file"
[01:19] <queazy> Hi.  "http://imgur.com/ueNZ2BD"  How can I stop the screen from cutting off the edge of the TV when I use an HDMI cable to connect it to my PC (which is running Xubuntu 14.04)?  Part list at "http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3weiH", except flatscreen samsung tv, which has both VGA + HDMI inputs
[01:19] <MillionsOfApples> does anyone know how to resolve issues related to the touchpad totally failing to be detected and to work properly? i'm also having issues with chrome freezing things forcing me to shutdown and reboot all the time
[01:20] <hallwaxer> spearson oh, i just understood - you're using a macbook with ubuntu?  sorry, I thought you were a mac/osx user and just were being lazy posting in here... my bad!
[01:20] <BrianH> I'll try reinstalling the drivers.
[01:20] <spearson> yup, MacBook
[01:20] <spearson> I can dual boot into OS X or ubuntu and want to get the right click functionality
[01:21] <spearson> in ubuntu
[01:21] <dw1> BrianH: couple things to possibly try here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1712377  but i think you want service lightdm restart not gdm
[01:21] <hallwaxer> queazy - I've had that problem forever on hdmi.  I think it's something to do with overscanning, but short of manually changing it, I don't know how to fix it properly
[01:22] <dw1> BrianH: perhaps install nvidia-current if you have an nvidia card
[01:22] <hallwaxer> although i'd love to know how, it's been bugging me for years.
[01:22] <queazy> hallwaxer:  I am new to Xubuntu, but I was recommended to try Xrandr.  It seems the "--scale xxy" command might be what I am looking for, but I am so new to how to use this stuff, I do not know what values to even put in there.
[01:23] <BrianH> dw1: I have the nvidia drivers, installing them now.
[01:23] <spearson> #hallwaxer, any solution of getting right click? I followed the instruction on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=921609
[01:23] <Blaster> Is there a way to switch fullscreen apps between screens?   When I make my Virtualbox VM fullscreen, it forces it to the left screen but I'd prefer it on the right.
[01:23] <spearson> and it didn't work logged out and logged back in
[01:23] <spearson> would I have to restart?
[01:24] <hallwaxer> queazy - i'm not sure, I've never used xubuntu, same with that program - I've always just decided to live with not being able to use the edges..   spearson - sorry mate, i've no idea.  I think a restart might be worth trying if the fix 'should' work, but beyond that, I couldn't tell you, I've only ever hackintoshed, not the other way around.
[01:24] <Blaster> Sorry, I got booted.  Did anyone respond to my question?
[01:25] <spearson> il reboot and let you know
[01:26] <queazy> Would anyone know how to use the "--scale xxy" command of Xrandr?  I have no clue what values to put where, and would like to attempt to use it to shrink displayed area of monitor.  Thank you.
[01:27] <hallwaxer> queazy - have you tried youtubing it? sounds weird, but people put tutorials for everything on there now.  Everything that's SFW anyway
[01:28] <queazy> hallwaxer:  I actually did, but not very thouroughly.  I will try again.  Thank you very much.
[01:29] <BrianH> dw1: fixed it, thanks for the help. :)

[01:52] <darius93> question: how reliable are the opensource gpu drivers for 14.04?
[01:52] <cfhowlett> darius93 they're free.  install and test for yoursefl.
[01:54] <darius93> cfhowlett, i know its free lol its on by default on ubuntu, but I mean overall performance compared to proprietary drivers
[01:54] <rww> depends on card, you're better off testing this :)
[01:54] <cfhowlett> darius93 so far as I know, no such definitive study exists.
[01:55] <darius93> hmm well one thing i notice is that the glxgears runs at ~60FPS while on proprietary its at +500FPS?
[01:56] <c|oneman> 60fps limit sounds like v-sync.
[01:56] <Aki-Thinkpad> !14.10
[01:58] <darius93> hmm

[02:09] <veryhappy> of the program
[02:09] <b9000> oh i see that second part now
[02:10] <b9000> !pastebinit

[02:11] <asdqwer> hello
[02:11] <Moonlikestars> :)
[02:12] <Moonlikestars> what is that thing at the top
[02:12] <veryhappy> @all: using 12.04 amd64 minimal image doesn't load the packages from the mirror and gets stuck at this point, using 12.04 amd64 alternate image and making an integrity check gives me "kernel-image" is broken - i used for both images an usb storage and this one is ok
[02:13] <DQSII> where can i get a good system sensor program to monitor cpu swap and temp all in one ?
[02:13] <cfhowlett> veryhappy your ISO is bad = download / torrent it again.
[02:13] <DQSII> for 14.04
[02:13] <veryhappy> cfhowlett: did twice, didn't help
[02:13] <jessie8> i have conky
[02:14] <cfhowlett> veryhappy where did you get your ISO?
[02:14] <veryhappy> someone downloaded it for me / 2nd time i downloaded by myself
[02:14] <jessie8> cfhowlett: i have 14.04 now and debian jessie
[02:14] <DQSII> i have that too but i wanna get something for my upper bar as well
[02:15] <cfhowlett> veryhappy get the ISO yourself from www.ubuntu.com    veriify the ISO with md5sum.  burn the ISO to a USB and verify the USB
[02:15] <krabador> ok people, 14.04 have troubles.
[02:15] <cfhowlett> !md5sum | veryhappy
[02:15] <krabador> and many
[02:16] <cfhowlett> !details|krabador
[02:17] <veryhappy> cfhowlett: don't you find it strange that the md5sum shall be broken both times at different downloads from different pcs?
[02:18] <rww> no, it just means your connection isn't great
[02:18] <cfhowlett> veryhappy yes.  that's why you follow the verification steps I listed.
[02:18] <veryhappy> so you mean i shall try it and then report an error?
[02:18] <cfhowlett> veryhappy and that's why you TORRENT those files, not download.  torrent has better CRC correction then DL does
[02:18] <veryhappy> rww: you didn't read straight
[02:19] <veryhappy> ok, so i shall try to torrent that file?
[02:20] <veryhappy> what's a good program for ubuntu to torrent files
[02:20] <rww> transmission, deluge, ktorrent, ...

[03:17] <wgiyhgy_sjg> Hi. Can somebody help me set up hibernation with an encyrpted swap on 14.04?
[03:18] <wgiyhgy_sjg> I've been following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnableHibernateWithEncryptedSwap but some of the files it asks me to modify don't even exist
[03:18] <owen1> I get 'Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/fcitx-team/nightly/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found' when i run apt-get update. any advide?
[03:18] <owen1> (it's for a package called fcitx-sogoupinyin)
[03:18] <holstein> owen1: purge the ppa
[03:18] <holstein> !info ppa-purge
[03:19] <owen1> holstein: ok. but how will i install that package without this ppa?
[03:19] <holstein> owen1: you can maintain a PPA, or install it as the creators suggest
[03:19] <owen1> holstein: where do i find the suggestion by it's creator? is it https://launchpad.net/~fcitx-team/+archive/nightly ?
[03:20] <holstein> owen1: whoever is reponsible for fcitx-sogoupinyin.. probably not the ppa maintainer
[03:21] <owen1> holstein: awesome. thanks a lot. i see a name there - Aron Xu
[03:24] <owen1> i just run 'whois on his nick' but i didn't see any channels that he is in.
[03:24] <wgiyhgy_sjg> What script does 14.04 use instead of /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh for hibernation?
[03:24] <holstein> owen1: might not be an irc nick
[03:25] <owen1> happyaron. i see his name when i run /whois
[03:25] <owen1> it say idle for 1 day
[03:27] <NathanW> anyone have an idea on why df -h is showing a different size to parted http://i.imgur.com/AwFWrxn.png
[03:28] <wgiyhgy_sjg> Does anybody have any idea where I could find information about the hibernation process in 14.04? I need to modify the hibernate and the resume scripts to make them use an encrypted swap
[03:30] <neonpinkcrayon> How can one update from the command line?
[03:30] <kostkon> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:30] <holstein> neonpinkcrayon: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:30] <neonpinkcrayon> Two different answers, hmmm...
[03:31] <Ben64> !dist-upgrade
[03:31] <holstein> ^ either of those, really.. dont need the dist-upgrade. but, you should *always* research commands *before* running them
[03:31] <Ben64> both are correct, dist-upgrade goes a bit more
[03:31] <Ninjawarrior> Hi everyone
[03:31] <neonpinkcrayon> holstein: Pfft, boring technique, if you don't research them, when stuff goes wrong you remember it so much more vividly.
[03:32] <Ninjawarrior> I installed lamp via the commend line and it provided me with php 5.5.  Im not happy about this as I wanted 5.3 or 5.4
[03:32] <holstein> neonpinkcrayon: as long as you realize, you are ultimately responsible, and there are different ways to upgrade in the command line
[03:32] <Ninjawarrior> what is a good solution to change php version?
[03:33] <neonpinkcrayon> holstein: I can't sue someone? :( It is against my American heritage!
[03:33] <neonpinkcrayon> Anyway, cause this thingie keeps popping up going... "like, do you wanna upgrade!? DO YOU!?"...
[03:35] <neonpinkcrayon> holstein: So, thanks, although I'd tried everything there except the dist-upgrade, which I assume will remove the evil pop-up which is giving me stress... windows, appearing, over my terminal. Ruining my day.
[03:36] <holstein> depends on what popup
[03:37] <T_> hi
[03:38] <neonpinkcrayon> Btw, anyone got cinnamon working? cause it jams up for me big time.
[03:38] <neonpinkcrayon> I much prefer that to unity.
[03:39] <holstein> neonpinkcrayon: you using it from the repos?
[03:39] <neonpinkcrayon> "the repos"?
[03:39] <neonpinkcrayon> You mean, apt-get install?
[03:39] <holstein> neonpinkcrayon: have you added a 3rd party ppa for cinnamon support? the 3rd party will ideally support it, if so
[03:39] <neonpinkcrayon> ppa?
[03:39] <holstein> !ppa
[03:40] <neonpinkcrayon> You mean, use a PPA?
[03:40] <B_> Just installed 14.04 works fine but after 5 minutes it freezes
[03:40] <holstein> neonpinkcrayon: im asking if you are using a PPA
[03:40] <neonpinkcrayon> holstein: I don't think so.
[03:40] <holstein> neonpinkcrayon: i would try as another user, to test my user config
[03:40] <neonpinkcrayon> holstein: Hmm, good idea.
[03:40] <Danato> neonpinkcrayon: can you tell exactly how did you install Cinnamon?
[03:41] <neonpinkcrayon> Geesh, how do I change windows when I have multiple terminals? (Hence my desire to cinnamon~.
[03:41] <rww> Alt-~
[03:41] <neonpinkcrayon> Right, thanks.
[03:41] <neonpinkcrayon> Ah, apt-get install cinnamon it was.
[03:42] <rww> (same in gnome-shell, in case you ever switch to that)
[03:42] <neonpinkcrayon> All worked fine, it appears at the login and is selectable, selection occurs, soon as you click the menu... goodbye cruel world... frozen.
[03:42] <neonpinkcrayon> rww: I blame this laptop keyboard. It's ~ is in another galaxy.
[03:42] <Danato> neonpinkcrayon: then you had to use a ppa, because if you only use "apt-get install cinnamon" it will give you an error message, saying that cinnamon was not found
[03:43] <rww> neonpinkcrayon: ouch
[03:43] <neonpinkcrayon> Danato: Oh?
[03:43] <holstein> !info cinnamon
[03:43] <neonpinkcrayon> Wth.
[03:43] <holstein> i thought it was added.. anyways, you'll need to ask the maintainers of the packages for support
[03:43] <neonpinkcrayon> So, I managed to setup a PPA-wachamacallit and now I got cinnamon from theres like...
[03:44] <Danato> neonpinkcrayon: Cinnamon is not in Ubuntu's repositories, you had to add a ppa in order to install it with apt-get install
[03:44] <neonpinkcrayon> Do PPAs come by default?
[03:45] <Ben64> no, they're 3rd party repositories and not really supported in here
[03:45] <neonpinkcrayon> Hmm, ok, late nights, who knows what commands I run.
[03:46] <neonpinkcrayon> So, cinnamon doesn't work, is the conclusion?
[03:47] <holstein> neonpinkcrayon: you are stating it doesnt. we are saying, ppa's are not officially support, since we dont maintain the packages
[03:47] <Ben64> if it doesn't work, then it's the fault of whoever runs the PPA you're using
[03:47] <neonpinkcrayon> Can I figure out which PPA a package came from?
[03:47] <Ben64> you can try contacting them, or stick to officially supported software
[03:48] <holstein> !info ppa-purge
[03:48] <Bashing-om> neonpinkcrayon: Just picking up on the conversation, cinnamon is in the 13.10 and less repositories. I do not recall the reason cinnamon was pulled from 14.04 .
[03:48] <neonpinkcrayon> Man, this alt+~ not working... how does a person get between multiple of the same windows easily?
[03:48] <rww> neonpinkcrayon: what's the key above your tab key?
[03:48] <Danato> neonpinkcrayon: actually it does work, I use cinnamon on top of my ubuntu 13.10
[03:48] <neonpinkcrayon> Bashing-om: Wait, why am I on the old version of ubuntu then?
[03:48] <neonpinkcrayon> Danato: I think I:m on 13... wondering why everyone else on 14 all of a sudden.
[03:49] <Danato> neonpinkcrayon: it came out in April 17th
[03:49] <Ninjawarrior> Hey, why is there no safe solution to install PHP 5.4 on Ubuntu?
[03:49] <aquaguy> Hello
[03:49] <neonpinkcrayon> Danato: Oh, and dist-upgrade gets me there?
[03:49] <Bashing-om> neonpinkcrayon:  -> lsb_release -a <- .. maybe you did have cinnamon in the install prior to updating ?
[03:49] <neonpinkcrayon> Bashing-om: Perhaps, lemme just figure out this window changing stuff.
[03:49] <Danato> neonpinkcrayon: you need a do-release-upgrade
[03:50] <rww> Ninjawarrior: because we don't keep around old versions of PHP just because people fail at updating webapps
[03:50] <neonpinkcrayon> Danato: Does that break epic amounts of stuff? :)
[03:50] <aquaguy> I'm trying to find some text in different files using grep and regex, the regex seems to be fine but grep ouputs nothing at all. What am I doing wrong?
[03:50] <aquaguy>  grep -o "\{\@([A-Za-z0-9_]+)\.([A-Za-z0-9_]+)\}" /var/www/public/styles/clean/templates/*
[03:50] <aquaguy> I want to match<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[03:51] <Danato> neonpinkcrayon: I'm not sure yet, I ddnt upgrade mine just yet :P
[03:51] <Ninjawarrior> rww, it costs alot of money to upgrade webapps
[03:51] <Ninjawarrior> it seems odd to force this business decision
[03:51] <Ninjawarrior> why not allow support for both PHP 5.4 and PHP 5.5
[03:52] <rww> Ninjawarrior: because every additional package in the supported repositories is a maintenance burden, and we decided we didn't want to take that on
[03:53] <Ninjawarrior> So, its best for me to install Ubuntu 11 if I want PHP 5.4 development machine?
[03:53] <rww> No, it's best for you to upgrade your webapp.
[03:53] <rww> It's not like you can continue using 5.4 forever.
[03:54] <Ninjawarrior> Why you make it sound like 1 webapp?
[03:54] <Ninjawarrior> its 10+
[03:54] <rww> PHP 5.4 is currently in 12.10 and 13.04. 13.04 is no longer supported. 12.10 goes End of Life shortly.
[03:54] <Ninjawarrior> And its a big business decision
[03:54] <rww> Ninjawarrior: You managed to write 10 webapps, none of which work across PHP versions? That's impressive.
[03:55] <Ninjawarrior> I work for agency
[03:55] <Ninjawarrior> we maintain several websites
[03:55] <rww> Okay. I think I've adequately laid out how no version of Ubuntu that is supported for more than the next month or so has PHP 5.4. Have fun with that.
[03:55] <Ninjawarrior> My undestanding is it shouldnt break as long as the new features in PHP5.5 are not utilized
[03:56] <rww> ... then go do that, then
[03:56] <Ninjawarrior> However, Im not sure if it is a good professional practice
[03:56] <rww> to keep software up to date? yes, yes it is,
[03:56] <Ninjawarrior> On Centos, its easy to choose hosting with PHP 5.4, PHP 5.5
[03:56] <neonpinkcrayon> Right, btw, rww, for future reference my dearest, the correct answer isn't alt~.
[03:56] <Ninjawarrior> etc etc
[03:56] <Ninjawarrior> Why so difficult with Ubuntu?
[03:57] <neonpinkcrayon> rww: The latest satanic answer is: Whatever bloody key is above 'tab'.
[03:57] <rww> neonpinkcrayon: yeah, I was assuming you were on a sane keyboard. I'll adjust my answer in future :)
[03:57] <rww> Ninjawarrior: because we have a different support cycle than Centos.
[03:57] <neonpinkcrayon> rww: Since on a japanese layout keyboard the key above tab is some sinister language disruption key that suddenly morphs characters into some darkly influenced sinister form that isn't decypherable by mere humans.
[03:57] <neonpinkcrayon> rww: And alt~ were not workething.
[03:58] <rww> Ninjawarrior: at least partially because Centos = RHEL = developed by a company that makes profit off of support. Ubuntu = developed by a company that doesn't make net profits at all.
[03:58] <neonpinkcrayon> rww: You're saying not making profits is a good thing?
[03:58] <rww> neonpinkcrayon: nice
[03:58] <rww> neonpinkcrayon: I'm not. I'm just telling it like it is. Canonical is a moneypit, Red Hat isn't.
[03:59] <neonpinkcrayon> "moneypit"?
[03:59] <Ninjawarrior> Would it be better to create a development machine with gnome inside Centos instead?  my requirements is only lamp stack, Phpstorm and sass compiler
[03:59] <rww> Ninjawarrior: best ask #centos if all of that would be supported by them, and if so, sure
[03:59] <neonpinkcrayon> Ninjawarrior: It would.
[03:59] <neonpinkcrayon> Ninjawarrior: Be supported.
[03:59] <Thete> I don't really find Canonical following the whole ubuntu philosophy
[04:00] <Thete> maybe they did at the beginning
[04:00] <[[thufir]]> I'm reading the man page on dar.  I want to backup /this/bkup to /home/Dekstop .  which is goes first?  I don't understand the man page for explaining which path is which.
[04:00] <neonpinkcrayon> Thete: Once you have a group of people... do they ever follow a philosophy?
[04:00] <Ninjawarrior> cool
[04:00] <neonpinkcrayon> Thete: No single organization ever can follow  philosophy, look at communism.
[04:01] <elky> aaand this is where that conversation ends. political discussions are not tech support
[04:01] <rww> sorry, I probably started that one
[04:01] <ticamai_> Did my message go through? My connection just went out
[04:01] <rww> ticamai_: nope
[04:01] <Thete> Yeah
[04:02] <neonpinkcrayon> elky: I was thinking more in terms of epistemology :P
[04:02] <kimiamania> if you are really PHP developer, you must know there is PuPHPet https://puphpet.com/
[04:02] <rww> ticamai_: (assuming you meant some message before that one)
[04:02] <ticamai_> Brand new, unmodified, fresh install of 14.04 64-bit. Trying to install wine1.6, but this happens: http://elec.li/p/w8ks0k/
[04:02] <ticamai_> that was the message
[04:02] <neonpinkcrayon> elky: Had to hold back my natural troll here for a minute :P
[04:02] <ticamai_> It's Xubuntu, but I'd think it still applies here too
[04:02] <rww> ticamai_: have you done sudo apt-get update recently? if not, try that
[04:02] <ticamai_> rww: Yes, I have, multiple times
[04:03] <ticamai_> rww: Installed last night, did a sudo apt-get update just before trying to install wine
[04:03] <neonpinkcrayon> rww: Anyway, conclusion, human beings don't govern organizations, it is more about structure and information exchange. ie: A gamble.
[04:04] <neonpinkcrayon> do-release-upgraded, here we go... Will I have a working laptop?
[04:04] <rww> Ninjawarrior: which has nothing to do with my point, which was that Canonical is not profitable :P
[04:04] <rww> and I can't use a tab key
[04:04] <rww> neonpinkcrayon: ^^^
[04:04] <rww> anyway
[04:04] <neonpinkcrayon> rww: American layout... It makes it too easy :P
[04:04] <neonpinkcrayon> rww: And, I respodned to Thete.
[04:05] <rww> aha
[04:05] <neonpinkcrayon> Now for some reason I came on here with a question...
[04:05] <neonpinkcrayon> Oh, right, how to upgrade.
[04:05] <rww> Ticamai: pastebin apt-cache show wine1.6
[04:07] <Ticamai> rww: http://pastebin.com/nE9x1kr0
[04:08] <PryMaL> neonpinkcrayon: try do-release-upgrade in terminal
[04:09] <rww> Ticamai: run dpkg --get-selections | grep hold, pastebin output if there is any
[04:09] <neonpinkcrayon> PryMaL: I'm not doing that?
[04:09] <Ticamai> rww: No output from that
[04:09] <neonpinkcrayon> I just said I was... I know, I catch myself lying so often.
[04:10] <rww> Ticamai: okays. Take your original paste, take the first package on the error list, try installing it (so sudo apt-get install wine1.6-i386), see if it gives a more useful error, if not repeat
[04:11] <rww> Ticamai: or install aptitude and try sudo aptitude install wine1.6. either way.
[04:11] <Ben64> why not "wine" instead of wine1.6
[04:11] <cHarNe2> hi guys, im trying to install a fresh ubuntu on dads older acer aspire-5000 for my brother, (14.04), but the installer stops at "configuring kernel". what to do? tried both 32 and 64-bit installers.
[04:11] <rww> Ben64: because they're the same thing
[04:11] <rww> Ben64: wine is just a metapackage depending on wine1.6
[04:11] <Ben64> i'm thinking the wine package will pull in everything it needs
[04:12] <Ticamai> rww: It has no installation candidate
[04:12] <rww> Ticamai: pastebin apt-cache policy
[04:12] <rww> Ben64: the only thing it depends on is wine1.6, so no :P
[04:13] <Ben64> Ticamai: what is the output of "uname -a" ? you can paste it in here, its just one line
[04:13] <Ademan> how can I find out what flags the packaged kernel I'm using was built with?
[04:13] <Ticamai> Ben64: Linux digiengine 3.13.0-24-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 10 19:11:08 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[04:14] <Ticamai> rww: http://pastebin.com/pWQZ70yf
[04:14] <Ben64> Ademan: cat /boot/config-`uname -r`
[04:15] <zerofiat> hey guys, trying to get a second display up and running.. I've got 2 R9 270x's in this machine with a monitor connected to the dvi-i port on each. While both adapters show up in both the atisysteminforeport and in lspci, I'm getting no love from the second card. I've tried enabling it in amdcccle and after reboot that device is re-disabled. I'm running xubuntu 14.04.
[04:15] <rww> Ticamai: weird. apt-cache policy wine1.6-i386
[04:16] <zerofiat> wondering if anyone could shed a little light on it?
[04:16] <Ticamai> rww: Using my own site, faster to put it in, hope you dont mind: http://elec.li/p/84wgw4/
[04:17] <zerofiat> also, amd's drivers direct from their site don't install on 14.04, had to use the software center to install fglrx
[04:18] <rww> Ticamai: that's perfectly fine. Apologies for all the pastebinning, we're crossing off possibilities. pastebin the entire output of sudo apt-get update?
[04:18] <tex83> Trusty Tahr
[04:21] <Ticamai> rww: http://elec.li/p/ckc08o/ also, disappearing for a second
[04:21] <basketball> when i ran sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade i got http://paste.ubuntu.com/7342417/
[04:22] <holstein> basketball: you have quantal sources
[04:23] <basketball> i run 14.04
[04:23] <holstein> basketball: sure.. but you are using quantal sources with it.. thats not a good idea
[04:23] <basketball> what do i run
[04:24] <holstein> basketball: quantal sources in trusty.. you can read them in the list you gave
[04:24] <holstein> basketball: one of the gpg key verification errors are for one of the quantal sources
[04:24] <basketball> holstein,  what command do i run in terminal
[04:25] <holstein> basketball: you can refer to http://askubuntu.com/questions/13065/how-do-i-fix-the-gpg-error-no-pubkey among other links for those GPG errors, but you need to fix your system
[04:25] <holstein> basketball: you need to have only trusty sources for trust
[04:25] <basketball> how do i do that
[04:25] <ticamai> rww: Back
[04:26] <basketball> holstein,  how do i remove them
[04:26] <rww> ticamai: if it still doesn't work after that update, I have no idea
[04:26] <holstein> basketball: depends, friend.. i may want to just reinstall, if too many packages have been mixed in
[04:26] <holstein> basketball: its a bad idea...
[04:26] <holstein> basketball: you cant always just change the sources after you have mixed them up like that
[04:27] <basketball> i did a fresh install last week
[04:27] <Ademan> Ben64: thanks!
[04:27] <rww> impressive time-to-breakage
[04:27] <ticamai> rww: Nope, still doesn't work. Interesting.
[04:27] <holstein> basketball: ok.. since then, you have added sources for the incorrect operating system
[04:27] <basketball> ok let me ask you this
[04:28] <holstein> !ask > basketball
[04:28] <basketball> is there a way to make a new live cd that when i install ubuntu it will automatically insall certain programs
[04:29] <holstein> basketball: sure.. but, not programs from the incorrect operating system sources
[04:29] <basketball> what do you mean
[04:29] <silv3r_m00n> hi there, i went to recovery console root login, and tried to remove a package, but it says this, http://postimg.org/image/lhk3eng4x/
[04:29] <silv3r_m00n> why am i not able to remove packages from the recovery console ?
[04:29] <holstein> basketball: i mean, you cant add packages from the incorrect sources, friend.
[04:30] <basketball> so i need to reinstall no mater what
[04:32] <Ademan> so if something was in 3.7 it ought to be in 3.8 shouldn't it?
[04:32] <Ademan> kernel, that is, since version numbers by themselves are a bit ambiguous potentially
[04:32] <holstein> basketball: you need to *not* run sources for the incorrect operating system.. as i said, depending on what has been installed, i would likely prefer to reinstall to "fix" that
[04:33] <Bashing-om> silv3r_m00n: in recovery mode the file system is read only, then -> mount -o remount,rw / <- to remount for write .
[04:34] <skierpage> Hey, I'm doing an "other installation type" to install Ubuntu 14.04. I have a fat32 partition to install to, but I want to switch it to something else (ext4?), shrink it, and enlarge the swap partition after it. Can I do that from "Installation type" screen?
[04:35] <bluezone> skierpage, it should be clear when it begins to ask you about where you want to install it to
[04:35] <bluezone> you just choose other
[04:35] <bluezone> or you can use one of the predefined ones if you think it will work out for oyu
[04:36] <bluezone> the choices will be like : "Install and erase eveything, install along -side another os, __ other__
[04:36] <skierpage> bluezone, yeah, none of those. So I did choose "Other", now I'm at this "Installation type" that shows all my partitions.
[04:37] <skierpage> I know how to adjust them with gparted, maybe I should quit the installer and adjust from that.
[04:37] <bluezone> yeah you can do that from the live cd
[04:37] <bluezone> sudo apt-get install gparted
[04:38] <skierpage> bluezone FYI no need to install, it's already there.
[04:38] <bluezone> oh
[04:39] <skierpage> heh,  after changing them and clicking apply the gparted window vanished. "gpartedbin[15385]: segfault at 215d00" .
[04:39] <bluezone> O.o
[04:39] <skierpage> Maybe a bad idea to have the installer and gparted running at the same time.
[04:40] <bluezone> yes
[04:40] <bluezone> lol
[04:41] <Ademan> is it possible to build a kernel module out of a couple of files that *should* have been in the kernel but weren't included for some reason?
[04:41] <skierpage> now I can't quit the Install. Click Quit, "Do you really want to quit the installation now?" dialog, click [Quit], spinning cursor, repeat
[04:42] <bluezone> bahhhhh, do you have anything important on your  drive?
[04:42] <Ademan> looks like it is possible, brb though
[04:45] <tozen> skierpage: have you compared mdsums? looks like you image file is faulty
[04:46] <skierpage> I had an Edit partition dialog behind the Install window (so maybe Install can adjust partitions). But I Cancel'd that, and still can't quit the Install.
[04:46] <skierpage> tozen I doubt that very much, live USB booted fine, installer looks good
[04:47] <cfhowlett> skierpage so you did not check but you're assuming your source ISO is valid...
[04:47]  * cfhowlett considers the  2 minutes it takes to verify integrity to be time well spent
[04:49] <tozen> congrats gals! utopic unicorn 14.10 is landed, I'm on it already... ;P
[04:49] <cfhowlett> !ubuntu+1|tozen
[04:51] <tozen> cfhowlett: thx for info! perhaps will be needed for future. ;)
[04:51] <cfhowlett> tozen happy to help
[04:51] <skierpage> cfhowlett, tozen Good point. So I go back to "Download Ubuntu Desktop", click Not now, take me to the download ›, and it starts downloading. No mention of mdsums. <snark> Do I only get those if I tip? :)
[04:51] <cfhowlett> !md5sum|skierpage
[04:52] <cfhowlett> !hashes| skierpage
[04:52] <skierpage> thanks!
[04:52] <skierpage> my mistake, there's a "View Ubuntu’s md5 hashes".
[04:52] <cfhowlett> skierpage to be absolutely sure, verify both the ISO you downloaded and the USB.  instructions refer to "verify CD" but the process is identical
[04:53] <cfhowlett> skierpage IMO direct downloads break far more often than torrents.
[04:56] <tex83> I'm trying to find pycharm in the repositories. How do I search for it without necessarily installing it?
[04:56] <cfhowlett> !info pycharm
[04:56] <tex83> cfhowlett yeah that's not the package name
[04:56] <tex83> and I'm downloading the tarball
[04:57] <tex83> but I'm thinking surely it exists in a repository and I'm just not yet knowing how to search repositories
[04:57] <tex83> I could do like apt-get install *pycharm*
[04:57] <tex83> but I'd rather get a list of things fitting that first
[04:58] <Bashing-om> tex83: to search the repository -> apt-cache search <package_name> ; info -> apt-cache show <package_name> .
[04:58] <tex83> nice
[04:58] <tex83> apt-cache
[04:58] <tex83> I didn't know that
[04:59] <tex83> is there an apt family of programs?
[04:59] <Bashing-om> tex83: never ending learning processes !
[04:59] <tex83> :D
[04:59] <Bashing-om> tex83: yEAH, THERE ARE MANUALS .. GIMME A BIT TO HUNT IT UP.
[05:00] <Bashing-om> oopps
[05:00] <tex83> hee
[05:01] <Bashing-om> tex83: One here, not yet the one I had in mind ->http://people.canonical.com/~cjwatson/ubuntu-policy/policy.html/ch-relationships.html ...
[05:02] <tex83> hey bashing-om, can you explain this?
[05:02] <tex83> john@frankenputer:~$ apt-cache search grep | charm
[05:02] <tex83> ERROR: Cannot start PyCharm
[05:02] <tex83> and thank you for the manuial
[05:03] <skierpage> md5sum matches. The odds seem far higher that running gparted and the installer at the same time is a bad idea, than my live USB is corrupted. Anyway I sudo kill -HUP'd ubiquity processes and will run gparted on its own.
[05:04] <joshlegs> how do i make a sleeping process run ?
[05:05] <dw1> joshlegs: how did it fall asleep
[05:06] <joshlegs> dw1: dont really know tbh :S
[05:06] <joshlegs> htop shows it in state "s"
[05:06] <Bashing-om> tex83: Other manuals -> https://wiki.debian.org/Apt , http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html#_more_readings_for_the_package_management. Will look at 'charm'.
[05:07] <dw1> joshlegs: ive got a lot of those.......
[05:08] <Ninjawarrior> Hi guys. Whats the name of the default desktop manager in Ubuntu 14?
[05:08] <dw1> joshlegs: the man page just says it means idle
[05:08] <danielsu> close
[05:08] <joshlegs> dw1: yeah that's what i thought :'(
[05:09] <dw1> joshlegs: just means its not doin anything at the moment
[05:10] <Bashing-om> tex83: 'apt-cache search grep | charm'researchg yields -> Tools for maintaining Juju charms ; is that what you had in mind ?
[05:11] <dw1> joshlegs: it'll wake up when it has something to do :)
[05:12] <dw1> joshlegs: bright and early for its 9 to 5 job
[05:12] <joshlegs> heh
[05:16] <makerberg> #ubuntu-server-gui
[05:23] <skierpage> Ninjawarrior: you mean Unity 7?
[05:23] <silv3r_m00n> hi there, i went to recovery console root login, and tried to remove a package, but it says this, http://postimg.org/image/lhk3eng4x/
[05:23] <silv3r_m00n> why am i not able to remove packages from recovery console ?
[05:23] <Ninjawarrior> seems like enlightenment
[05:23] <skierpage> Ninjawarrior: well, it's the compiz window manager and the Unity dock, heads-up display, etc.
[05:24] <tex83> Hey y'all I'm putting pycharm on the new Trusty Tahr. Getting this message:
[05:24] <tex83> ERROR: Cannot start PyCharm\nNo JDK found. Please validate either PYCHARM_JDK, JDK_HOME or JAVA_HOME environment variable points to valid JDK installation.
[05:24] <tex83> Is this just that I haven't put JDK on the new install?
[05:25] <dw1> it would appear that way
[05:25] <Ninjawarrior> skierpage, Im attempting to make it look similar on CentOS
[05:26] <m3b> eh guy's trying to install ubuntu on a Acer Aspire M5100
[05:26] <m3b> dvd .iso is burnt using IMG BURN
[05:26] <skierpage> Ninjawarrior: that's kinda LOL, but it looks like people have tried it http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/07/unity-desktop-available-for-fedora
[05:26] <m3b> computer is set to boot from cdrom
[05:27] <m3b> but it just sits at the press any key to boot
[05:27] <m3b> it'll boot hirens
[05:27] <skierpage> (CentOS is similar to Red Hat Enterprise Linux which is roughly the trailing edge of Fedora)
[05:28] <Ninjawarrior> I like the Ubuntu doc and the login page
[05:28] <Ninjawarrior> Its clean like mac
[05:29] <dw1> m3b: whats hirens, another cd?

[05:49] <m3b> ne one know of a boot disk of some sorts i could make to get the Ubuntu DVD disc to be ackwloedged
[05:49] <dw1> do other disks boot properly
[05:49] <dw1> should just work
[05:49] <m3b> yes it reads hires just fine
[05:50] <Guest97732> guys how to update drivers in terminal ?
[05:50] <skierpage> I'm installing Ubuntu 14.04 on Mac OS X dual-boot with rEFInd. I chose "Something else", it presents me a list of partitions. How do I indicate which one I want to use for root file system?
[05:51] <dw1> Guest97732: switch to Ubuntu then ask here, til then ##linux
[05:51] <dw1> m3b: should just work... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[05:51] <dw1> m3b: as long as you burned the .iso as an image not just copied it as a data file
[05:51] <Guest97732> dw1 this has the same thing like ubuntu it uses sudo apt-get
[05:52] <Guest97732> so i may try if you please do you know how to update the drivers through that
[05:53] <skierpage> Guest97732:  sudo apt-get install <name_of_driver>  will do an update
[05:53] <Guest97732> anyway thanks for your help have a great day
[05:53] <skierpage> Guest97732: you might have to run sudo apt-get upgrade to get latest packages
[05:55] <lotuspsychje> im looking for a package to show all startup items, to enable/disable manually
[05:56] <skierpage> hmm, I click the partition I want to use (formatted ext4, plenty big), click [Install now], and it alerts "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu." I don't see a partitioning menu in the "Something else" partition window
[05:56] <clue_h> lotuspsychje, sudo sed -i "s/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g" /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop
[05:56] <lotuspsychje> clue_h: tnx lemme try
[05:57] <clue_h> lotuspsychje, then you can view them by running start up applications program
[05:58] <lotuspsychje> clue_h: tnx mate, it worked! isnt there a GUI package that can manage the same or a dconf trick?
[05:59] <clue_h> lotuspsychje, a gui for that may be too much but there might be in dconf a setting for that- but i dont have it installed.
[06:00] <lotuspsychje> clue_h: ok tnx, ill work with your tweak for now ; )
[06:00] <MrCurious> i want to expose port 8080 on a vm as port 8888 on the host of the vm.  iptables?  cant figure it out. can anyone spare a clue?
[06:00] <clue_h> lotuspsychje, its not mine its something i google every time on  a new install lol
[06:00] <clue_h> i should write it down
[06:01] <lotuspsychje> clue_h: what did you disable as services yourself?
[06:01] <jjjjjjjj> sup !!!
[06:02] <clue_h> lotuspsychje, it depends, some i disable at boot, using update-rcd thing disable, remove the thing, or do what you did
[06:02] <lotuspsychje> clue_h: ok
[06:02] <skierpage> MrCurious: what VM system are you using?  It's called port forwarding, you can do it in the VirtualBox  GUI
[06:02] <clue_h> sometimes its just a conf file and you say false :]
[06:03] <MrCurious> openstack
[06:03] <jjjjjjjj> dudes..... i need some help on partitions and all !
[06:03] <skierpage> MrCurious: I'm not sure about that, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=OpenStack+port+forwarding :)
[06:04] <dw1> !ask | jjjjjjjj
[06:05] <MrCurious> skierpage: only asked here because i had exhausted my google mojo, and that was the first search i tried.
[06:06] <jjjjjjjj> k.... i have dual booted my system with win8 ,and i want to distribute my ubuntu partition to windows , how can i do so !?!
[06:07] <dw1> not sure thats possible
[06:07] <clue_h> view it in windows?
[06:07] <dw1> perhaps i dont use windows enough :P
[06:07] <clue_h> same here
[06:07] <jjjjjjjj> but is there any way of doing so ?
[06:08] <dw1> you can view windows partitions in ubuntu tho i know that
[06:08] <skierpage> MrCurious: sorry I can't help.
[06:08] <clue_h> but last time i checked i could view stuff in the linux partition
[06:08] <juiced> Windows can't read ext2/3/4
[06:08] <juiced> file systems that is
[06:08] <skierpage> jjjjjjjj: Ubuntu can mount your windows partition and you can share stuff in that.
[06:09] <jjjjjjjj> really how ?
[06:09] <dw1> ahh there is an app for that
[06:09] <clue_h> jjjjjjjj, and if you want to share between them both, maybe a partition for that, to place files in, a 3rd partition
[06:09] <dw1> jjjjjjjj: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/06/access-ubuntu-from-windows-7
[06:09] <clue_h> that both know how to read
[06:10] <dw1> my windows are automatically mounted in ubuntu just have to click the drive in Nautilus
[06:10] <afflicto> Hey all, I just upgraded from 13.10 to 14.04 and upon the reboot, It booted to a black screen. I'm able to ctrl+alt+f2 into a terminal and it says I'm on 14.04. How should I go about troubleshooting this?
[06:11] <dw1> otherwise try the Disk Utility to mount..
[06:11] <jjjjjjjj> lemi check that link !
[06:11] <skierpage> jjjjjjjj: I have Kubuntu set up that way. It mounts /dev/sda1 on /mnt/WindowsVistadrive , and I set up symlinks in my home directory to /mnt/WindowsVistadrive/Users/Default/Music, etc.
[06:11] <lotuspsychje> afflicto: try enter grub and recoverymode
[06:11] <afflicto> lotuspsychje: ok
[06:12] <lotuspsychje> afflicto: then choose failsafeX from the recoverymode
[06:12] <afflicto> lotuspsychje: k
[06:13] <dw1> afflicto: if you have nvidia graphics try sudo apt-get install nvidia current and reboot
[06:13] <dw1> afflicto: nvidia-current
[06:13] <skierpage> jjjjjjjj: that link is if you have stuff in a Linux partition that you want to access from Windows. It is a LOT easier to put stuff on the Windows partition, and then you can access it from Linux. I keep my Firefox profile, and mail files on the NTFS partition, works great.
[06:14] <afflicto> dw1: ok well I have AMD :P
[06:14] <dw1> afflicto: dont know bout that
[06:14] <dw1> afflicto: either theres a package or can download proprietary..
[06:14] <afflicto> lotuspsychje: I selected failsafeX, and choosed "Yes" about mounting filesystem. Now it's just a blinking underscore at the bottom.
[06:15] <dw1> afflicto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD
[06:15] <lotuspsychje> afflicto: that doesnt sound very good then
[06:15] <dw1> afflicto: is ubuntu-desktop installed
[06:15] <afflicto> lotuspsychje: I suppose not :(
[06:16] <afflicto> dw1: Don't know, what is that?
[06:16] <lotuspsychje> afflicto: maybe a trusty clean install might run smoother :p
[06:16] <jjjjjjjj> actually i want to give 200 gb of my linux partition to windows .... so is there any app to distribute partition among other os
[06:16] <dw1> afflicto: you need it for GUi
[06:16] <lotuspsychje> !info gparted | jjjjjjjj
[06:16] <skierpage> I finally figured out the install other screen: double-click the partition or select and click [Change...], then choose Use as (current format or change to ext4), and *then* you can choose to mount it as /.
[06:16] <dw1> afflicto: should be installed
[06:16] <jjjjjjjj> #other partition means windows !
[06:16] <dw1> afflicto: if you have a network connection do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop just to be sure
[06:17] <afflicto> dw1: ok
[06:18] <afflicto> dw1: already the newest version
[06:18] <dw1> afflicto: failsafeX ..... ?
[06:18] <dw1> afflicto: maybe the driver then
[06:18] <afflicto> dw1: failsafeX didn't work
[06:18] <skierpage> jjjjjjjj: yes, gparted to shrink your linux partition, then create new partition in the leftover, format as ntfs.  If you want to enlarge your Windows partition, I'm not sure gparted will move one of them "out of the way", you may have to back the Linux partition up.
[06:18] <dw1> afflicto: saw you mention that.. dont know what that means
[06:18] <juiced> maybe try cat /var/log/boot.log and /var/log/Xorg.log. Because you could get to the console when it booted up.
[06:19] <jjjjjjjj> k lotuspsychje , ubottu ... let me check about gparted
[06:19] <lotuspsychje> afflicto: maybe fix broken packages on recoverymode might help
[06:19] <dw1> afflicto: you can check the bottom of /var/log/Xorg.0.log which might say something, or run startx to see if theres an error
[06:20] <afflicto> dw1: k
[06:20] <dw1> afflicto: driver information is in links above.......
[06:22] <afflicto> dw1: I tried fixing broken packages in recovery mode. Same thing, purple UI. blinking Underscore at the bottom.
[06:22] <afflicto> dw1: seems it might have trouble mounting the filesystem :S
[06:22] <del_> !
[06:23] <dw1> afflicto: i thought ctrl-alt-f1 or f2 got you to terminal, where its mounted ?
[06:24] <afflicto> dw1: it does. I thought you said I should fix broken packages through recovery mode :P
[06:24] <dw1> afflicto: not me :)
[06:24] <lotuspsychje> afflicto: i would go install 14.04 clean
[06:24] <afflicto> lotuspsychje: hm I really don't want to. I kinda don't have backup of some files.
[06:25] <dw1> its prob just video driver
[06:25] <dw1> what does Xorg.0.log say
[06:26] <afflicto> dw1: yeah it seems so
[06:26] <afflicto> dw1: let me see.
[06:26] <barbossa-> :)
[06:26] <skierpage> BTW there's definitely a bug in the ubiquity "Something else" > Installation type screen: while the Edit partition dialog is shown, the main window remains active. It should be a modal dialog
[06:26] <inflex> Is there a way to reset/purge old network connection instances on a Ubuntu install, as I now get things like /dev/eth103  rather than /dev/eth0 on connection ( it's a USB stick bootable Ubuntu system )
[06:27] <clue_h> inflex, can you get to edit connections and remove the old saved ones
[06:28] <inflex> clue_h: was going to try go for the source on boot, since I basically want it to forget all old/previous connections each time ( it's a test/debugging setup for systems )
[06:28] <clue_h> afflicto, also,   dmesg | grep error
[06:29] <afflicto> dw1: Found something... atiddxDriScreenInit failed. Probably kernel module missing or incompatible. DRI Initialization failed. kernel module (fglrx.ko) may be emissing or incompatible....
[06:29] <dw1> afflicto: was your former driver installed from commandline ?
[06:29] <dw1> afflicto: if so, usually you have to run that again after kernel update
[06:31] <afflicto> dw1: uhm. last time I installed graphics drivers, I used to Software Updates app. I choose the proprietary-updated drivers.
[06:31] <inflex> clue_h: might purge /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections and then restart networking
[06:31] <clue_h> inflex, maybe a script that removes files in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/
[06:31] <dw1> it seems to be interface, not network manager related......
[06:31] <clue_h> inflex, on boot
[06:32] <inflex> clue_h: ja
[06:32] <dw1> afflicto: hmm.. need package name.. or else can go to the web site and download
[06:32] <dw1> afflicto: oh package names @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD
[06:33] <dw1> afflicto: sudo apt-get install fglrx-installer
[06:33] <dw1> afflicto: maybe
[06:34] <lotuspsychje> upgrades are always tricky
[06:34] <afflicto> dw1: what about the fglrx-installer-updates ?
[06:35] <dw1> afflicto: id prob try the first one first
[06:35] <afflicto> dw1: ok
[06:35] <clue_h> inflex, i think an easier way, would be to go to start up applications and add your bash script there
[06:37] <afflicto> dw1: unable to locate package fglrx-installer :\
[06:37] <afflicto> dw1: maybe I need to apt-get update..
[06:37] <dw1> afflicto: maybe or can download the ubuntu package manually, no worries
[06:38] <dw1> afflicto: 64 bit ?
[06:38] <dw1> afflicto: wget "https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/2:13.350.1-0ubuntu2/+build/5886324/+files/fglrx-amdcccle_13.350.1-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb"
[06:39] <dw1> afflicto: wait no
[06:39] <dw1> afflicto: wget "https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/2:13.350.1-0ubuntu2/+build/5886324/+files/fglrx_13.350.1-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb"
[06:39] <dw1> afflicto: dont know what the cccle is all about :p
[06:39] <dw1> afflicto: its much smaller
[06:39] <junka> keyboard shortcuts does not appear with a screen resolution of 1024x600
[06:40] <dw1> afflicto: then just dpkg -i the .deb file
[06:41] <linuxuser1000> hello guys
[06:42] <linuxuser1000> I have a question,should i install the nvidia 334 drivers or stay on 331?
[06:42] <afflicto> dw1: ok, downloaded. Now just dpkg -i file.deb?
[06:42] <dw1> afflicto: yup
[06:42] <dw1> linuxuser1000: prob not much difference
[06:42] <dw1> linuxuser1000: unless youre one of those guys who wants +2 fps :P
[06:43] <linuxuser1000> i tried 334 yesterday and it made my unity not start
[06:43] <afflicto> dw1: conflicts with something already installed. I should uninstall what I have first, right?
[06:43] <linuxuser1000> and not even gnome-shell would start
[06:43] <dw1> afflicto: what does it conflict with........
[06:44] <afflicto> dw1: dpkg: regarding fglrx_13.350.1-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb containing fglrx: fglrx conflicts with fglrx-driver. fglrx-updates provides fglrx-driver and is present and installed.
[06:44] <linuxuser1000> remove fglrx-updates
[06:44] <afflicto> dw1: I should remove fglrx-updates then?
[06:44] <afflicto> yeah
[06:45] <dw1> afflicto: can replace id think
[06:45] <linuxuser1000> sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx-updates
[06:45] <linuxuser1000> than try installing it
[06:45] <afflicto> whop.. Just did "remove fglrx-updates".
[06:45] <dw1> afflicto: or get the new -updates... but you may already have it and it doesnt work :/
[06:46] <linuxuser1000> my nvidia was a pain in the butt enough
[06:46] <linuxuser1000> lol
[06:46] <dw1> afflicto: dpkg-reconfigure on the existing package might have done something too
[06:46] <dw1> afflicto: but too late :P
[06:46] <afflicto> dw1: hehe. I'm installing the new .deb now
[06:47] <linuxuser1000> damn these proprietary drivers are annoying
[06:47] <skierpage> I love being on Intel built-in graphics: worse performance but no graphics driver issues :)
[06:47] <afflicto> done. shall I reboot?
[06:47] <dw1> afflicto: you're the man. make the call :p
[06:47]  * afflicto crosses his fingers
[06:47] <linuxuser1000> i hope ati isn't as bad as nvidia
[06:48] <clue_h> linuxuser1000, that is problematic sometimes too
[06:48] <dw1> i just use nvidia-current and have no probs.....
[06:48] <linuxuser1000> what version is that?
[06:48] <joy_lobo>
[06:48] <linuxuser1000> is it 304 or something
[06:48] <dw1> whatever's current.  :)
[06:48] <skierpage> The 14.04 installer is great but a 2-row teeny terminal window for details and no resize is weak.
[06:48] <dw1> its on another comp cant look
[06:49] <linuxuser1000> oh yeah it is 304
[06:49] <dw1> linuxuser1000: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/nvidia-current yeah
[06:49] <linuxuser1000> i'm running nvidia-331 from the additional drivers
[06:50] <dw1> livin' on the edge
[06:50] <afflicto> dw1: nope. black still :\
[06:50] <dw1> afflicto: Xorg.0.log .....
[06:50] <clue_h> afflicto, dmesg | grep error      what does it say
[06:50] <linuxuser1000> i'm 3 driver versions behind
[06:51] <joy_lobo> having trouble while connecting internet via iball dongle
[06:52] <ice9> are there any differences between ubuntu desktop and server other than there is no GUI?
[06:52] <dw1> afflicto: a forum post suggests apt-get remove --purge fglrx may fix it
[06:53] <afflicto> Nothing particularly strange in Xorg.0.log to my knoweldge :P
[06:54] <afflicto> clue_h: ot says EXT4-fs sda1_ re,-,pimted. Påts_ errprs=remount-ro.
[06:54] <dw1> afflicto: perhaps just remove --purge the drivers and reboot without them
[06:54] <afflicto> clue_h: oh lord all my fingers were on the wrong place XD
[06:55] <dw1> afflicto: dpkg -l | grep fglrx ... purge em all
[06:55] <afflicto> clue_h: something about my harddrive, unrelated I guess.
[06:55] <afflicto> dw1: k
[06:55] <clue_h> afflicto, lets assume its unrelated, which it probably is :]
[06:55] <afflicto> clue_h: :P
[06:57] <afflicto> dw1: ok done. It was just 1 package. fglrx.
[06:57] <afflicto> dw1: what now, install the dpkg I downloaded again?
[06:57] <dw1> afflicto: try reboot with no driver
[06:57] <afflicto> dw1: oh, ok.
[06:57] <joy_lobo> k fellows .... want your help in connecting net via modem , my system is not detecting it
[06:58] <linuxuser1000> gotta purge em all.
[06:58] <linuxuser1000> lol
[06:58] <dw1> ubuntumon
[06:58] <afflicto> hah
[06:59] <dw1> joy_lobo: woah, old school.....
[06:59] <dw1> joy_lobo: what modem
[06:59] <joy_lobo> ..
[06:59] <joy_lobo> iball dongle it is
[06:59] <dw1> oh a broadband modem :)
[07:00] <linuxuser1000> oh it's one of those 3g sticks
[07:00] <dw1> no router?
[07:00] <joy_lobo> yup !
[07:00] <afflicto> dw1: that works. it booted into a unity session.
[07:00] <dw1> afflicto: nice.  perhaps not the fastest driver tho.  guess you might want to test others
[07:01] <dw1> joy_lobo: all i got is http://google.com/search?q=iball+modem+ubuntu
[07:01] <afflicto> dw1: yeah
[07:01] <linuxuser1000> do you have the option
[07:01] <dw1> afflicto: cool mystery solved at least
[07:01] <joy_lobo> ya  linuxuser1000 that one
[07:01] <linuxuser1000> to connect in the network indicator menu
[07:01] <linuxuser1000> click on the network menu
[07:02] <linuxuser1000> you should have something about broadband
[07:02] <linuxuser1000> new mobile broadband connection
[07:02] <afflicto> thanks guys! at least the open source driver works!
[07:03] <dw1> no prob
[07:03] <dw1> next guy gets super fast solution :)
[07:03] <linuxuser1000> hey afflicto did you try the additional drivers?
[07:03] <helmut_> hi
[07:04] <joy_lobo> k linuxuser1000 let me try it !
[07:04] <dw1> imagine all 1650 users said hi back
[07:04] <joy_lobo> lol dw1 .... dat would look great
[07:04] <sidao> hello?
[07:04] <linuxuser1000> afflicto try the additional drivers'
[07:04] <linuxuser1000> that solved mine
[07:06] <clue_h> additional drivers might put him back to square one lol
[07:06] <linuxuser1000> how?
[07:06] <clue_h> open source drivers tend to just work
[07:06] <linuxuser1000> i had to install mine cause steam
[07:06] <afflicto> whooh! I installed the proprietary drivers. it works now xD
[07:06] <afflicto> same driver, fglrx-updates
[07:07] <linuxuser1000> from additional or manually?
[07:07] <afflicto> linuxuser1000: additional drivers GUI yeah
[07:07] <afflicto> I cannot select gnome shell tho :S
[07:08] <afflicto> the button to select desktop environment is gone.
[07:08] <linuxuser1000> have you got gnome-session installed
[07:08] <dw1> install gnome-session-flashback ?
[07:08] <clue_h> fallback?
[07:08] <linuxuser1000> install gnome-session and flashback
[07:08] <dw1> fallback and flashback... theres 2 now and theyre the same
[07:08] <clue_h> wow never knew
[07:08] <linuxuser1000> install both
[07:08] <linuxuser1000> gnome-session
[07:09] <linuxuser1000> and flashback
[07:09] <skierpage> rEFInd is awesome. Kept track of my old Linux after rearranging partitions, detected the live USB and offered 3 boot options, offers the newly installed Linux.
[07:09] <joy_lobo> linuxuser1000: but that is just for creating a network connection but here my device is not detecting
[07:09] <skierpage> 6 second boot time.
[07:10] <afflicto> gnome-session is already the newest version
[07:10] <linuxuser1000> mine does appear though
[07:10] <skierpage> \o/ 2012 MacBook Air, 128GB SSD
[07:11] <linuxuser1000> in the terminal i mean
[07:12] <joy_lobo> linuxuser1000: i tried to set up new device .... and set the category as modem but it is not detecting any modem there
[07:13] <afflicto> ok Now I can log in to gnome flashback (compiz) and (metacity)... is this the old gnome 2? or gnome shell 3?
[07:14] <linuxuser1000> it's gnome 3 that looks like gnome 2
[07:14] <linuxuser1000> and you can run compiz on it
[07:15] <afflicto> aha.. cool I can haz wobbly windows then. XD
[07:15] <clue_h> wobbly windows for fun lol
[07:15] <linuxuser1000> and don't forget the cube
[07:16] <afflicto> the cube, yes ofc
[07:16] <linuxuser1000> i'm gonna try updating to 334 lol
[07:16] <linuxuser1000> my nvidia
[07:16] <afflicto> I saw a youtube video where a guy had some many compiz effects it was just ridicolius. Looked like a christmas tree XD
[07:16] <linuxuser1000> i hope it doesn't blackscreen again
[07:17] <xWolfz> hey guys
[07:17] <clue_h> afflicto, and i bet his graphics card hates him :]
[07:17] <xWolfz> nvm, it's a ##hardware question
[07:17] <Blaster> Firefox browser scrolls while lagging in Ubuntu.  Any ideas how to fix?
[07:17] <afflicto> clue_h: hehe
[07:17] <Blaster> lags while scrolling I mean
[07:17] <Blaster> :)
[07:17] <barret_> 国人应该也不少吧
[07:18] <afflicto> Ok, turns out I just had to install gnome-shell anew. yay

[07:20] <queazy> Hi.  How do I install WINE version 1.7.17 on my Xubuntu 14.04 OS?  I am a beginner and already have WINE version 1.6.2, but do not know how to get the most updated build.  Thank you.
[07:20] <dw1> is it chinese... hard to say :)
[07:20] <_1_Bronko> hola
[07:20] <dw1> yeah it is
[07:21] <barret_> Of course
[07:21] <barret_> Chinese is a beautiful language
[07:21] <_1_Bronko> hola
[07:22] <dw1> queazy: with wine the latest isnt always the best.. often different versions work best with different apps.. its a pain
[07:23] <dw1> queazy: playonlinux allows you to run multiple wine versions pretty easily
[07:23] <bazhang> #winehq repos queazy
[07:24] <queazy> dw1:  The reason I ask is because I want to play the new WildStar mmorpg (worked hard at getting a beta key), Play-On-Linux doesn't work, but then I saw this at "http://preview.tinyurl.com/kr62hvr" and it seems they were able to get it to run using WINE version 1.7.17...   I have WINE version 1.6.2 installed, how can I install version 1.7.17?
[07:24] <bazhang> queazy, I just told you
[07:25] <dw1> queazy: http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu
[07:25] <dw1> yes he did
[07:25] <_1_Bronko> ola
[07:25] <bazhang> _1_Bronko, english here
[07:25] <queazy> bazhang:  Hi.  Please forgive me, I'm a beginner at this.  I didn not understand what you meant when you typed "#winehq repos"
[07:26] <queazy> dw1:  Thank you, I will try that right now!
[07:26] <bazhang> queazy, join the channel #winehq
[07:26] <queazy> ah!  ok!
[07:26] <queazy> What does the "repos" mean?
[07:26] <clue_h> repositories
[07:26] <bazhang> software repositories
[07:27] <dw1> so apt can find packages
[07:27] <dw1> special ones
[07:27] <dw1> but not supported and sometimes risky :)
[07:27] <macco> ciao
[07:27] <queazy> So they are like bots you can download the software from?  Thank you.
[07:28] <dw1> package servers.....
[07:28] <dw1> yeah
[07:28] <bazhang> queazy, central software warehouse
[07:29] <bazhang> !repos | queazy
[07:29] <queazy> Thank you.  I'm inexperienced when it comes to Xubuntu so I greatly appreciate the help.
[07:32] <dw1> thats how I learned computers in the first place... getting games to work :D
[07:33] <zZeus> Dear reddit, I want to change my lightdm greeter
[07:33] <zZeus> Can't find the appropriate config file
[07:33] <greeter> ok i officially need a new nickname at this point...
[07:34] <zZeus> greeter, can you change yourself to patheon-greeter
[07:34] <zZeus> *pantheon
[07:34] <zZeus> So how do I do this
[07:35] <zZeus> Do I have to create an actual lightdm.conf somewhere
[07:35] <zZeus> I tried updatedb and locating "lightdm.conf"
[07:35] <greeter> wish i could help you there...
[07:36] <dw1> zZeus: peeps gotta google http://askubuntu.com/questions/75755/how-to-change-the-lightdm-theme-greeter
[07:36] <zZeus> Let's see if this helps me
[07:36] <clue_h> zZeus, have you looked in  /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/
[07:36] <linuxuser1000> back
[07:37] <zZeus> dw1, there isn't a file named lightdm.conf in that location that contains the "greeter" field
[07:37] <OerHeks> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM
[07:37] <linuxuser1000> i wonder why i had to install the nvidia 331 drivers first
[07:37] <linuxuser1000> and than install 334
[07:37] <zZeus> clue_h, yes, nothing in there that contains "greeter"
[07:38] <clue_h> not even 50-unity-greeter.conf?
[07:38] <linuxuser1000> how do i check if i successfuly upgraded the driver?
[07:38] <zZeus> I have those files, but which one is the main one that I edit
[07:38] <zZeus> Such that I can pick an actual greeter
[07:39] <OerHeks> linuxuser1000, how did you install the nvidia 334 driver?
[07:39] <dw1> i would think they are all the greeter
[07:40] <linuxuser1000> through the .run file
[07:40] <zZeus> Lots of stuff defining [SeatDefault]
[07:40] <linuxuser1000> but i had to install 331 first otherwise it would crash my system
[07:40] <linuxuser1000> and now my nvidia settings says i'm running 334
[07:40] <greeter> hmm?
[07:41] <linuxuser1000> is there a terminal command to check the version of the driver installed?
[07:41] <greeter> at this point i should probably ask for an off topic channel
[07:41] <OerHeks> linuxuser1000, that one is unsupported. use ' nvidia-smi ' to see the current driver
[07:42] <OerHeks> linuxuser1000, that would give you the same number
[07:42] <linuxuser1000> NVIDIA-SMI 334.21     Driver Version: 334.21
[07:43] <masoudborbor> hi. anybody knows how could I uninstall this conky http://www.noobslab.com/2013/01/install-basic-conky-in-ubuntulinux.html
[07:44] <dw1> masoudborbor: sudo apt-get remove --purge conky conky-all
[07:44] <dw1> masoudborbor: you installed with apt-get install so now remove, and the --purge option removes config files and stuff
[07:45] <masoudborbor> dwl thank you very much
[07:45] <dw1> masoudborbor: no prob
[07:45] <masoudborbor> dw1, thank you very much
[07:45] <skierpage> Thanks folks for your help. Ubuntu 14.04 seems to work fine.
[07:46] <geekstay> Hi everyone. I recently upgraded to 14.04. I also installed nvidia-prime and drivers and removed bumblebee to use my graphic card. Everything was OK, but when I try to switch on my intel card (with the indicator prime), I can't reswitch to my nvidia. And nvidia-detector outputs "None".
[07:47] <geekstay> And reboot does nothing. It starts automatically on my intel graphic card.
[07:52] <linsead> wilm
[07:53] <barbossa-> is the message indicator indicator-messages... supposed to... blink?!
[07:53] <alfatau> hello all! i need help with 3D acceleration. I've a nvidia 330M gpu and xubuntu 13.10 host system. i think i've some wrong configuration for driver/xorg because i've some virtualbox xubuntu guests having 3D not working. can you help me to review my configuration and discover what's wrong? thank you in advance.
[07:54] <geekstay> barbossa ?
[07:54] <husnainlatif> Hi, my notify-osd is not working, since I'm not seeing notifications pop up for anything whatsoever
[07:55] <barbossa-> @geekstay the envelope withing gnome that houses all messaginf
[07:55] <barbossa-> *messaging
[07:56] <geekstay> I'm using XFCE.
[07:56] <francesco_> hi :)
[07:56] <husnainlatif> francesco_, .
[07:56] <barbossa-> hehehe
[07:56] <barbossa-> im not sure if its broken... or
[07:56] <barbossa-> just a boring envelope
[07:57] <husnainlatif> This IS the official ubuntu support channel, right?
[07:59] <geekstay> It's very strange because when I click to switch card, xorg restart but does nothing.
[08:04] <stemid> I have some issues with key repeat speed in 14.04 but it's not solved by the Keyboard settings panel because it only seems to affect ' like when I''m' typing a sentence (that just happened naturally)
[08:04] <husnainlatif> that's weird stemid
[08:04] <stemid> that''s weird ;)
[08:04] <stemid> I have to be really light on '
[08:04] <husnainlatif> mine misses keypresses
[08:04] <husnainlatif> lol
[08:05] <husnainlatif> but it happens in windoze too
[08:05] <stemid> I haven't''' tried windows on this pc yet
[08:05] <husnainlatif> swedit
[08:05] <stemid> oh right I can try the keyboard in my macintosh though, just to rule out the keyboard
[08:05] <husnainlatif> exactly
[08:06] <husnainlatif> ubuntu support is tewwible :(
[08:07] <stemid> no it's definitely an ubuntu problem it's it's it's' it''s huh
[08:07] <stemid> and it doesn'''t happen when I just type ' outside of a sentence. only when other keys are pressed before
[08:10] <tracyone> how can i download dropbox through wget?
[08:10] <tracyone> https://www.dropbox.com/download?dl=packages/ubuntu/dropbox_1.6.0_i386.deb
[08:11] <stemid> wget 'url'

[08:11] <tracyone> wildcards
[08:12] <OerHeks> tracyone, and you won't get updates.
[08:12] <ticamai> interesting, I've been having issues installing things with apt-get beyond just my wine1.6 issues from earlier
[08:13] <ticamai> and i installed aptitude
[08:13] <ticamai> and it works perfectly fine
[08:13] <ticamai> apt-get throws a bunch of errors about packages that aren't going to be installed
[08:13] <husnainlatif> lubuntu ruined my ubuntu install

[08:15] <tracyone> wget "https://www.dropbox.com/download?dl=packages/ubuntu/dropbox_*_i386.deb"  is  not work
[08:15] <stemid> I don'''''t think you can do that
[08:15] <stemid> you can mirror a whole dir though, if dirlisting is allowed on the server
[08:15] <stemid> with -m

[08:52] <linuxuser1000> hey dwl does the xorg edgers ppa give proprietary drivers or are they open?
[08:53] <linuxuser1000> additional drivers marks my nvidia driver as open for some reason
[08:53] <linuxuser1000> but the name is nvidia binary driver
[08:53] <linuxuser1000> i think that's the proprietary one,right?

[08:53] <dw1> linuxuser1000: i just use nvidia-current.. no idea
[08:53] <clue_h> Node_865, one other thing to change the resolution, add the resolution to modes using the same syntax as the others by going to: gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:53] <clue_h> Node_865, and restart afterwards
[08:55] <llutz> landau: no, use live-usb/-cd
[08:55] <landau> can't use it....it's a very old pc
[08:55] <landau> :(
[08:56] <dw1> landau: check for errors?  probably not.. open.. perhaps with an application http://www.howtogeek.com/112888/3-ways-to-access-your-linux-partitions-from-windows/
[08:56] <kalyan_> as
[08:56] <landau> dw1: yes i need to check errors
[08:57] <dw1> landau: no cd or usb... ?  i guess the only option would be put another drive in that has an operating system on it and make it primary.........

[09:01] <howto> so, again, I tried to install NVIDIA drivers, it error end out twice, when researching the second error I found a ppa called x-swat, installed the driver from there, rebooted, after the login screen I started to see just the background image with a system program error, I purge removed the ppa, rebooted, nothing changed, installed gnome to try my luck,
[09:01] <howto> rebooted, now it's booting and i think it's stuck.

[09:03] <howto> oh well, it's not stuck, it just can't launch gnome

[09:05] <akurilin> Quick question: what do people in the know recommend as a solid laptop to use for ubuntu?
[09:05] <akurilin> mostly with programming in mind
[09:05] <akurilin> I'd go for a mbp if I knew that the hardware would be easily supported
[09:05] <akurilin> those things seem nicely built, but I also don't want to spend too much time making sure everything's comaptible
[09:07] <clue_h> akurilin, take a look at system76 machines
[09:07] <clue_h> they are built with ubuntu in mind
[09:07] <clue_h> *for ubuntu

[09:12] <howto> Also, gry, my problem is that after I log in I see nothing but that error and the background image.

[10:42] <wahsbai> but it was same, graphical issues, changing resolution whenever i went into settings
[10:42] <jeregon> wahsbai: what is your problem?
[10:42] <howto> Anyone else with the hdmi error: did it work with 13.10?
[10:43] <wahsbai> when i forced my x.org to 1920x1080 in nvidia control panel, the only issue i had was that my monitor went black for 2 seconds whenever I went into system settings/audio settings or anything in general. my monitor changed to Unknown/CRT-0, when I shut down settings and repeated, it changed back, and vice-versa
[10:44] <wahsbai> but I will restart now with noveau drivers and try it out, thanks, ill come back and tell u
[10:44] <wahsbai> from my regular monitor name to unknown/CRT-0 was the switch
[10:44] <wahsbai> unknown/crt-0 was automatically in 1060x768 or something, before i forced into 1920x1080
[10:50] <dark-age> samba domain controller setup working with 14.04 ?
[10:51] <wahsbai> hello im back
[10:51] <wahsbai> the problem persists with the open-source drivers
[10:52] <wahsbai> it's actually much worse than using the nvidia drivers
[10:53] <wahsbai> it is flickering constantly, black screen, and it changes position: when i took a screenshot it looks a lot better than it actually is

[10:53] <wahsbai> here is a screenshot
[10:54] <jeregon> wahsbai: have you tried actually fidelling with the config file of nvidia?
[10:54] <jeregon> aka whatever.maybetext
[10:55] <wahsbai> i think that the nvidia drivers are broken
[10:55] <jeregon> what version are you using?
[10:56] <wahsbai> well
[10:56] <wahsbai> it must be something else
[10:56] <jeregon> wahsbai: you could also look at the console for specific errors and message nVidia about it
[10:56] <wahsbai> because both nvidia, and the nouvea drivers are giving me graphical glitches, resolution changing 24/7
[10:56] <wahsbai> im using the nouvea open source drivers
[10:56] <wahsbai> that come with ubuntu
[10:57] <wahsbai> someone told me that ubuntu will work with it: same issue
[10:57] <jeregon> wahsbai: so you've been having these problems since you installed?
[10:57] <wahsbai> almost worse than with the nvidia drivers
