[00:00] <nubuntu> SergioEDuran1: cinnamon is not even built by canonical, nor in every release, you need to research bro.
[00:03] <nubuntu> SergioEDuran1: I would run a live of a release that has it in the repos, load it and look around. You want a setup supported my someone be sure it is here.
[00:06] <dj3000> i just tried tinkering with the boot order, and no luck.
[00:07] <dj3000> mtn, is it possible for me to re-install ubuntu without booting from the disk?
[00:07] <SergioEDuran1> nubuntu: thank you so much
[00:07] <nubuntu> no prob ;)
[00:09] <dj3000> hmm, maybe I can http://askubuntu.com/questions/484434/install-ubuntu-without-cd-and-usb-how
[00:11] <squinty> dj3000,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot  or http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanagers.html  if you have a spare cd kicking around
[00:15] <dj3000> it looks like unetbootin is a windows aplication, so I'm screwed there.
[00:16] <dj3000> should i enable/disable efi in the bios menu?
[00:16] <bazhang> !info unetbootin
[00:17] <mangolion> its not o.o
[00:17] <mangolion> its on ubuntu too
[00:17] <squinty> dj3000,  unetbootin is available for linux too
[00:20] <dj3000> anyone?
[00:22] <squinty> dj3000, not sure if you saw this    <squinty> dj3000,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot  or http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanagers.html  if you have a spare cd kicking around
[00:24] <dj3000> squinty, no i miised that. ths
[00:24] <dj3000> thanks
[00:25] <squinty> yw
[00:27] <histo> dj3000: what are you trying to do?
[00:28] <dj3000> histo,reinstall ubuntu without booting from a thumb drive or cd
[00:28] <histo> dj3000: why?
[00:29] <daftykins> pointless task of a users own invention, buy a flash drive.
[00:31] <dj3000> daftykins, my flash drives aren' being recognized by bios
[00:31] <dj3000> but thanks for your cute comment
[00:31] <daftykins> you're making them up wrong by the sounds
[00:31] <daftykins> or attempting to use an external USB chipset
[00:32] <histo> dj3000: Have you tried a different port?  and What method idd you use to put the iso on the flash drives?
[00:32] <daffy__> test
[00:32] <dj3000> i am using the self same usb stick that i used to install this copy of ubuntu
[00:32] <dj3000> histo, yes i've tried 3 diferent ports now.
[00:32] <dj3000> and used ubuntu's "create bootble drive" application
[00:33] <histo> dj3000: does it work on another pc?
[00:33] <dj3000> histo, i havent (nor cant) try
[00:33] <histo> dj3000: so your boot menu doens't show the usb as an option at all or it doesn't boot from it?
[00:34] <daftykins> what system type is this? brand?
[00:34] <nubuntu> not sure you guys saw this poat,  <dj3000> should i enable/disable efi in the bios menu?
[00:34] <dj3000> histo, by "boot menu" do you mean grub?
[00:35] <daftykins> BIOS boot device menu.
[00:35] <histo> dj3000: no I meant your bios boot menu
[00:35] <histo> dj3000: typically you press F12 or F10 while booting to display the boot menu and then you select your usb drive
[00:36] <squinty> fwiw some hp's also use Esc
[00:36] <daftykins> there are lots of combos, hence me asking what TYPE of system and brand :)
[00:37] <dj3000> yes
[00:37] <dj3000> i am using eh... a bios called "award"
[00:37] <daftykins> no.
[00:37] <daftykins> is this a laptop or desktop?
[00:38] <dj3000> and I've bootd into the boot menu, and sleected all types of usb options and put them ahead of the hard drive
[00:38] <dj3000> desktop. made it my self
[00:38] <daftykins> so what brand of motherboard?
[00:38] <dj3000> eh...i'll have to check my amazon purchase history
[00:39] <daftykins> right
[00:39] <daftykins> and did you install the current Ubuntu via legacy (CSM) or EFI?
[00:39] <dj3000> um..? not sure. from a pen drive.
[00:40] <daftykins> !efi
[00:40] <dj3000> here's my mobo (BTW It sux) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009FC3YJ8?
[00:41] <daftykins> dj3000: so you've been plugging your flash drive directly into motherboard ports on the rear panel IO, yes?
[00:41] <dj3000> i'm gonna try adding the grub entry directly
[00:41] <dj3000> yes
[00:41] <daftykins> not into the screen, keyboard - or any other intermediary device
[00:41] <niko__> hola
[00:41] <dj3000> right
[00:41] <daftykins> chck for the existence of /sys/firmware/efi
[00:41] <daftykins> *check
[00:42] <niko__> hola
[00:42] <dj3000> brb
[00:42] <daftykins> mmk.
[00:43] <histo> daftykins: it's F12 if he comes back
[00:43] <daftykins> that is not the issue
[00:44] <histo> for that mobo and he needs legacy usb and usb storage enabled in bios by pressing Del key
[00:44] <daftykins> i disagree
[00:44] <histo> ok
[00:48] <EADG> zykotick9: Are you watching the #?
[00:48] <xenom0rph> Hi, somebody can help me..
[00:48] <histo> xenom0rph: sure if you ask your question
[00:49] <xenom0rph> I want to install ubunto in my laptop
[00:50] <xenom0rph> Which version do u recommend me, im a begginer in linux.
[00:50] <daftykins> 14.04
[00:50] <daftykins> lu/xu/u depends on the target PC
[00:51] <xenom0rph> I have a processor a6-5200
[00:51] <xenom0rph> From amd
[00:52] <histo> xenom0rph: how old is the laptop?
[00:53] <xenom0rph> Not much histo, is a amd 2.00, 8gb ram ...
[00:53] <_schlerp> cpu is from mid 2013
[00:53] <_schlerp> so no more than 2 years old
[00:53] <histo> xenom0rph: you can run ubuntu  desktop on that.
[00:53] <xenom0rph> Isnot no more than 2 years...then can install this version?
[00:53] <histo> xenom0rph: download 14.04 and give her a go.
[00:53] <compdoc> xenom0rph, be sure to assign at least 512megs ram to the video, or more
[00:53] <jacob> hi guys
[00:54] <xenom0rph> Ok, can be installed in a portable harddisk?
[00:54] <Guest61610> i just installed ubuntu latest version
[00:54] <histo> xenom0rph: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
[00:54] <histo> xenom0rph: yes you an install from usb
[00:54] <histo> !usb | xenom0rph
[00:54] <xenom0rph> Is difficult to do?...sorry for many cuestions but im new ...
[00:54] <_schlerp> from or onto xenomorph?
[00:54] <histo> xenom0rph: no just follow the instructions from ubottu it will tell you how to install from usb
[00:54] <Guest61610> i have windows on RAID 0 dedicated.  Ubuntu is on a seperate drive, but gets stuck on the ata1 ata2 raid drives and never goes to desktop
[00:55] <Guest61610> i have to use recovery mode everytime, then from there i say continue and it works.
[00:55] <histo> Guest61610: gets stuck where? any outp-ut?
[00:55] <Guest61610> ya
[00:55] <Guest61610> let me grep it
[00:55] <xenom0rph> Im going to see the wiki ubuntu...thanks !!
[00:56] <Guest61610> sudo dmesg | grep ata
[00:56] <daftykins> sounds like you lack mdadm
[00:56] <_schlerp> scotty^ only eog crashes with that massive image the rest of my system remains fine!
[00:56] <Guest61610> stuff like this  ata1: COMRESET failed (errno=-16)
[00:57] <spidey> so even running update-grub under sudo, it creates the grub.cfg just fine, but the menu on boot still is the old one
[00:57] <spidey> I suspect it is updating grub in the wrong place
[00:57] <Guest61610> so im trying to put into grub something to ignore the raid drives alltogether so it wont hang up.
[00:57] <_schlerp> spidey do you have a seperate boot partition?
[00:57] <spidey> nope
[00:58] <_schlerp> spidey, are you launching grub off the same harddrive your system is installed on?
[00:58] <spidey> the /boot/grub/grub.cfg looks good, uuids match
[00:58] <_schlerp> guest61610 do you mention that drive in your fstab?
[00:58] <spidey> _schlerp: yes, usually while in the /boot directory
[00:59] <Bashing-om> spidey: More than one hard drive; grub installed to each, and not changing the boot priority in bios ? maybe ?
[00:59] <nubuntu> spidey: You have a dula or more boot?
[00:59] <nubuntu> dual*
[00:59] <_schlerp> yeah try booting from the same drive your / is on
[00:59] <Guest61610> no what u mean by fstab
[00:59] <Guest61610> i guess my question is how to ignore the raid array im not using.
[00:59] <_schlerp> fstab is a file that tells your pc what and how to mount partitions at boot
[00:59] <Guest61610> ok
[01:00] <_schlerp> its located at /etc/fstab
[01:00] <spidey> the new grub.cfg has two different kernels, the old one and a new one
[01:00] <Guest61610> so what vi /etc/fstab?
[01:00] <bonhoeffer> ah -- https://gist.github.com/tbbooher/262ee17721727015ea98 <-- can't install npm on ubuntu
[01:00] <_schlerp> spidey do you have multiple drives in your machine?
[01:00] <_schlerp> guest just a cat shoudl be sufficient
[01:00] <spidey> yes, and the boot drive is setup as a software raid
[01:00] <Guest61610> lol same issue sorta?
[01:00] <spidey> mirror
[01:01] <_schlerp> so you have four drives?
[01:01] <_schlerp> raid for windows and raid for ubuntu?
[01:02] <_schlerp> bonhoeffer try sudo apt-get install nodejs npm and tell us what the output is
[01:03] <hogslammer> test
[01:03] <hogslammer> hi this is me with the raid 0 ignore me please guy
[01:03] <hogslammer> i mean i did a cat /etc/fstab
[01:04] <_schlerp> what did it say? and whats your error message at boot precisely?
[01:06] <hogslammer> first it says ACPI PCC sucks or somehting like that.  icant get the info , but afterwards is the complaints on ata1 and 2 not responding, which are the raid drives i dont use at all in linux.
[01:06] <hogslammer> is there still such think as pastebin anymore?
[01:06] <diddledan> daftykins: dead disks?
[01:06] <OerHeks> paste.ubuntu.com
[01:06] <diddledan> daftykins: you love ata errors! :-p
[01:06] <hogslammer> no i think linux hates my controller or raid drives.   i got latest firmware too.
[01:07] <daftykins> diddledan: ;) not this time
[01:07] <spidey> is there a way in grub, without rebooting to see what it will load?
[01:07] <daftykins> already mentioned a lack of mdadm being installed
[01:07] <diddledan> :-)
[01:07] <hogslammer> what i cant figure out is why grub, advanced ubuntu, recovery, then click continue on in works fine.  still errors but im in now.
[01:08] <_schlerp> daftykins its a windows raid that he doesnt even wqnt to mount thats giving him grief
[01:08] <hogslammer> exactly
[01:08] <daftykins> _schlerp: yes. i know.
[01:08] <hogslammer> i dont care if its mounted so if i specify it in grub then maybie it wont hang up on the testing of it.
[01:08] <_schlerp> and his ubuntu is on an mdadm array too which means he would have mdadm installed (i think...)
[01:08] <daftykins> and what does mdadm do, put components in initramfs
[01:09] <daftykins> well there are two people with two different setups so i'm not referring to the one with both RAID'd
[01:09] <diddledan> it's complaining about ata - windows-raid isn't at that layer
[01:09] <diddledan> windows-raid is above ata
[01:09] <_schlerp> daftykins sorry man, im getting confused i think!
[01:09] <daftykins> would be nice if we were given a proper log.
[01:09] <Bashing-om> spidey: Not 'in' grub but ya can examin the file /boot/grub/grub.cfg and see what is set to boot .
[01:10] <daftykins> diddledan: windows or like, intel MSM?
[01:10] <dfcnvt> Any of you have problem with getting on Chrome browser and is on the facebook, while at the same time playing an embedded youtube to full screen. (It didn't show but transparented to Facebook's page)
[01:10] <spidey> Bashing-om: that's the thing, my grub.cfg looks good, but that isn't the one that shows on boot
[01:11] <diddledan> daftykins: afaik all the moboraids are effectively softraid so unless it's a server unit with onboard raid from someone like adaptec or he's got a dedicated raid card then it'll be softraid or winraid
[01:11] <Bashing-om> spidey: That suggest to me to change the boot order .
[01:11] <daftykins> yeah fakeRAID, but they could cause detection funkiness
[01:11] <daftykins> anyway, it was a guess and was ignored so it hardly hurt.
[01:12] <diddledan> :-p
[01:12] <spidey> Bashing-om: you mean in bios?
[01:12] <hogslammer> can i still pastebin my log somewhere
[01:12] <hogslammer> how to paste log for u
[01:12] <_schlerp> bpaste
[01:12] <daftykins> !paste
[01:13] <Bashing-om> spidey: Yeah in bios . What might be happening here is that grub has chainloaded from one grub onto the other .
[01:14] <horsemeds> Hi, I am unable to get Ubuntu 14.04 to Display SPD Data, I have dual boot with windows and windows can read the SPD Data (after installing a driver). When I try to display SPD  Data in memtest I get “SMbus controller not known” I have a GA-970-D3p motherboard.
[01:14] <spidey> Bashing-om: anyway to check if there are multiple installs and get it down to just one?
[01:15] <hogslammer> ok hold on
[01:15] <daftykins> horsemeds: serial presence detect on your RAM? you set it once then forget it, why does it matter?
[01:16] <Bashing-om> spidey: What returns from terminal command ' sudo fdisk -lu ' ?
[01:16] <horsemeds> daftykins not sure what you mean by  "serial presence detect on your RAM?"
 One is "Glib criticla gslice set_config_ something" and 2. "Maximum number of clients reached.." help?
[01:29] <EADG> I've been off IRC for many, many years. Can I still do that? Send a bell/
[01:30] <EADG> Only if it's set on the recipiants side right?
[01:31] <daftykins> i think it would overload the postal system
[01:31] <hogslammer> COMRESET failed (errno=-16)
[01:31] <hogslammer> help
[01:31] <daftykins> still waiting for you to post a log i thought
[01:32] <hogslammer> what log..  http://paste.ubuntu.com/11776425/
[01:32] <hogslammer> if u want more just ask

[01:46] <hogslammer> im going to go now i appreacate the help sorry
[01:47] <daftykins> chalcedony: guest account on the same system works fine?
[01:47] <chalcedony> daftykins, ty i don't know
[01:47] <chalcedony> he's restarting it to see if that helps
[01:48] <chalcedony> those are all graphical programs, terminal and open office seem ok
[02:00] <_schlerp> bonhoeffer did you try install the nodejs package  first?
[02:05] <chull> i'm on hubby's computer. he rebooted, started doing things, and it logged him out. at this point i don't get the second error in terminal, when opening hexchat, but i did get the first error when opening thunderbird. ~$ thunderbird
[02:05] <chull> (process:4517): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed
[02:05] <daftykins> chull: any key events / changes before this behaviour began?
[02:06] <chalcedony> daftykins, he can't speak to tell me
[02:07] <daftykins> wat
[02:07] <chalcedony> daftykins, he had a stroke, can't write or speak
[02:07] <daftykins> ah i see
[02:07] <chalcedony> we sleuth until we find it
[02:07] <advx_> Hi Good Morning all...
[02:07] <daftykins> has this machine got a mechanical hard disk for the OS?
[02:07] <chalcedony> daftykins, yes regular hard drives
[02:07] <daftykins> chalcedony: install "pastebinit" and run "sudo smarctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit" if you wouldn't mind
[02:08] <chalcedony> sweet ok daftykins :)
[02:11] <chull> daftykins, :~$ sudo smarctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit
[02:11] <chull> sudo: smarctl: command not found
[02:11] <chull> You are trying to send an empty document, exiting.
[02:11] <daftykins> oh dear i typo'd
[02:11] <daftykins> you'll also need 'smartmontools' installed
[02:11] <daftykins> "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit"
[02:12] <chull> ok i'll get that
[02:12] <daftykins> just handy to rule out a wonky hard disk before spending too much time
[02:15] <chull> daftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/11776646/
[02:15] <daftykins> hrmm SMART disabled 0o
[02:16] <daftykins> chull: try adding the "-s on" as it suggests
[02:16] <chalcedony> hmm
[02:16] <chalcedony> okies will do daftykins :)
[02:16] <daftykins> also, more than one disk did you say? you'll need to repeat for each disk device
[02:17] <daftykins> you can confirm which there are with "sudo parted -l"
[02:24] <bf_> how can I install node 0.8.14 on an ubuntu server? I cannot find the old package in apt-get
[02:24] <DalekSec> !info node
[02:24] <advx_> bye
[02:25] <bf_> DalekSec: with node i mean node.js via nodejs or nodejs-legacy. I cannot find version prior 0.10 on the listing pages
[02:25] <_schlerp> bf_ https://nodejs.org/dist/
[02:25] <bf_> schlerp: DalekSec thank you
[02:26] <musclez> is this ubuntu heaven? my server died...
[02:27] <_schlerp> musclez elaborate?
[02:27] <_schlerp> there is also #ubuntu-server
[02:29] <chull> daftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/11776675
[02:30] <musclez> _shlerp, i am looking for some support. I have a post up on askubuntu.com that hasnt got much success
[02:31] <_schlerp> can you link me to it?
[02:31] <daftykins> chull: hrmm there are some disk errors and so on reported there, how did you get on with testing the guest session? did the same GUI programs run fine there?
[02:32] <musclez> i removed some old kernels and havent been able to boot since, apt and dpkg keep crashing.... http://askubuntu.com/questions/640862/sub-process-usr-bin-dpkg-received-a-segmentation-fault
[02:33] <musclez> that specific error seems to be bundled with apt and dpkg crashing.. i am using a live usb to get access
[02:33] <chull> daftykins, i didn't actually try that, after it logged him out, it let us log in as him.
[02:34] <daftykins> chull: ah, i'd give it a whirl for sure. also, when a GUI program throws this error, if it's disk related you might see some output repeated at the end of dmesg, use "dmesg | tail" to see what's at the very end
[02:35] <chull> daftykins, ok thank you very much!
[02:36] <daftykins> np
[02:36] <chull> i'll have him try as another user. it seems to be ok now, but we don't know what broke.
[02:36] <daftykins> mmm, might want to backup ASAP just in case
[02:38] <chull> daftykins, wow ok you think it's his hard drive having problems?
[02:39] <daftykins> chull: it's hard to say from that output, seagate have an annoying habit of incrementing 'error' fields when everything is normal
[02:39] <daftykins> it's just to be on the safe side
[02:39] <musclez> _schlerp: http://askubuntu.com/questions/640362/unable-to-boot-after-removing-old-kernels another post, however most of this information has changed as i have tried to reinstalled/installed different ones/or unistalled the kernels mentioned in the post
[02:39] <chull> daftykins, ah i see.
[02:40] <_schlerp> musclez ok, so lets start with the booting error, you cant boot without a live cd hey?
[02:40] <musclez> that is correct
[02:40] <chull> daftykins, he says he understands, thank you :)
[02:41] <_schlerp> ok, so what happens when you try boot/
[02:41] <musclez> deepnding on whihc kernel i use, it will give me differnt responses, but most of the time it freezes
[02:42] <_schlerp> right, after you removed your old kernels did you run sudo update-grub?
[02:42] <_schlerp> that shoudl clean up your grub a bit to only what it can find in boot
[02:42] <musclez> probably not
[02:43] <musclez> however, the grub seems to find the right kernels after i run 'apt-get purge'
[02:43] <_schlerp> can you pastebin an "ls /boot" for me?
[02:43] <musclez> yes, 1min
[02:46] <musclez> http://pastebin.com/XDXQE9Vq
[02:47] <_schlerp> musclez damn pastebin is blocked by my work proxy, can you use paste.ubuntu.com instaead
[02:47] <musclez> yes you will have to give me soem time i have not made an account there yet

[02:49] <Bashing-om> musclez: sysop@1404mini:~$ uname -r >> 3.13.0-55-generic . Where did you pick up a later kernel ( vmlinuz-3.13.0-57-generic ) that no longer exists ?
[02:50] <MDTech-us_MAN> so instead of manually changing the file can I make some sort of file I can run that will automatically patch it
[02:50] <musclez> sudo apt-get linux-image-generic' that kenerl rolls in
[02:51] <_schlerp> musclez are you familiar with chroot?
[02:51] <musclez> yes
[02:51] <musclez> im in it now
[02:51] <_schlerp> can i get you to skim this just to make sure we are on the same page?

[02:51] <_schlerp> ok awesome maybe dont worry about readiung that then :P
[02:51] <musclez> 1 sec

[02:52] <musclez> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11776733
[02:53] <musclez> lol sorry the first one
[02:53] <_schlerp> noice!
[02:53] <_schlerp> can you run update-grub then (although it probably did run when you ran the apt-0get purge
[02:54] <musclez> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11776761
[02:56] <_schlerp> awesome, can you reboot off your hdd and record any errors you get when you try load that -57 kernel?
[02:56] <musclez> frozen - Loading inital ramdisk ...
[02:57] <musclez> i normally try safe mode becuase this always freezes.. soemtimes it will go to the menu adn then i can resume in to boot
[02:58] <_schlerp> hmm well can you get back to the system (either via safemode or liveus/chroot) and run "update-initramfs -u" as root?
[02:58] <musclez> begin: mounting root files system... bign running /scripts/local-top ... done
[02:58] <musclez> then a bunch of usb info with teh timestampo on the left
[02:59] <musclez> busybox v1.21.1 (ubuntu 1:1.21....) buiult in shell (ash)
[03:03] <musclez> crypt setup warning, but ti seemd to do its think with the live usb
[03:03] <pmackinney> while I was waiting for a reply here I tried killing network-manager and adding a wlan0 stanza to /etc/network/interfaces. All better.
[03:04] <musclez> _shlerp reboot again?
[03:09] <musclez> i tried running apt-update, and it froze
[03:11] <musclez> booting in recovery: gave up on waiting for root device.....
[03:11] <musclez> alert! dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root doest not exist. dropping to shell!!
[03:11] <musclez> same as before
[03:21] <_schlerp> sorry musclez had to do something (im at work)
[03:22] <musclez> no worries m8 i appreciate your time
[03:22] <_schlerp> ok, can i get you to check that the uuid's form sudo blkid and your /etc/fstab match?
[03:23] <_schlerp> also cat /dev/mapper
[03:24] <_schlerp> and take a read here: http://superuser.com/questions/256856/ubuntu-alert-dev-mapper-localhost-root-does-not-exist-dropping-to-a-shell
[03:24] <_schlerp> maybe when you purged you got rid of the lvm2 package?
[03:25] <_schlerp> by  cat /dev/mapper i meant can you check if ubuntu--vg-root is there
[03:25] <_schlerp> *cat should be ls, sorry my brains failing i need a siesta
[03:25] <musclez> yeah its there i have to mount it to run root
[03:26] <_schlerp> hmmm the live usb would have the lvm2 package were as its possible that you removed it by accident from your os on disk
[03:27] <_schlerp> so really we need to fix the apt problem haha so i guess we should look into that now!
[03:27] <musclez> should i nano etc/fstab?
[03:28] <Jakethepython> Hello room
[03:28] <shome> Hey
[03:28] <EADG> bhi
[03:29] <_schlerp> just check that the uuid of root matches the uuid of the correct drive in blkid
[03:31] <musclez> im not sure if it is or isnt
[03:31] <musclez> do i jsut post that in ubuntu paste?
[03:37] <_schlerp> musclez yeah if you could, the output of blkid and cat /etc/fstab
[03:39] <musclez> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11776838/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/11776837/   http://paste.ubuntu.com/11776851/
[03:39] <musclez> i think they are the same... the last is the ouput of the lvm2 reconfigure
[03:40] <_schlerp> is your harddisk encrypted?
[03:42] <musclez> yeah
[03:45] <_schlerp> musclez http://askubuntu.com/questions/398406/encrypted-13-10-will-not-reliably-boot
[03:45] <_schlerp> does that sound liek your situation?
[03:46] <musclez> http://askubuntu.com/questions/398406/encrypted-13-10-will-not-reliably-boot/403876#403876 no
[03:46] <musclez> however, grub will not update with apt-get
[03:46] <musclez> i do get an error, shoudl i try it
[03:50] <lotuspsychje> good morning to all
[03:52] <sambagirl> is there another channel exclusively for ubuntuMATE?
[03:52] <lotuspsychje> sambagirl: #ubuntu-mate
[03:53] <sambagirl> secondly when you use tasksel and install different packages like say video production or audio studio does that completely remove your default configuation or build?
[03:53] <sambagirl> thanks lotuspsychje
[03:53] <Trinity> how many of you use chrome?
[03:53] <Trinity> vs firefox?
[03:53] <sambagirl> i use both
[03:53] <lotuspsychje> Trinity: ask your real question please
[03:53] <Trinity> I had issues with my firefox w/ speed and I switched to chomium now.
[03:53] <k0d3g3ar> Trinity, I use Chromium.... Chrome is too bloated for me
[03:53] <Trinity> not sure if others are affected by the same 100% cpu bug
[03:54] <lotuspsychje> Trinity: ubuntu version?
[03:54] <Trinity> yes
[03:54] <k0d3g3ar> Trinity, I had same issue on Linux Mint 13 with Chrome
[03:54] <Trinity> sporadic 100% cpu use on one core?
[03:54] <lotuspsychje> Trinity: wich ubuntu version please?
[03:54] <k0d3g3ar> Trinity, yep, exactly.  Switched to Chromium and it all went away
[03:55] <k0d3g3ar> Trinity, it has something to do with cache cleanup going haywire in Chrome
[03:55] <k0d3g3ar> Trinity, iirc
[03:55] <Trinity> xubuntu but ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
[03:55] <sambagirl> is seveas still about?
[03:55] <Trinity> k0d3g3ar, my issue was with firefox. i switched to chomium and it was fixed
[03:55] <Trinity> specifically happening on amazon sites
[03:55] <k0d3g3ar> Trinity, you might be able to stop it by going into settings, Advanced and setting hardware acceleration off
[03:56] <lotuspsychje> Trinity: try cleaning your system with bleachbit and cleanout browser cache + install preload
[03:56] <k0d3g3ar> Trinity, oh, I've had no issue with FF other than its a slow dog to use
[03:56] <lotuspsychje> !info preload | Trinity
[03:57] <sambagirl> i take it this is just pure ubuntu and no window management associated with the channel? i'm just curious cause i have been using ubuntu since whoarty or whatever it was called.
[03:57] <sambagirl> cause i have some compiz issues
[03:57] <Trinity> lotuspsychje, hmm... maybe it is the cache. personally i think it's just that google's v8 blows firefox's js engine away
[03:57] <Trinity> ill give it a try though
[03:57] <ub-laptop> hi - im a live session user. I have this Dell Latitude E6400  but the wireless isn't working.  The wireless adapter is Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless.  I found this but how I can do that in a live session to see if it works since it asks me to reboot -- http://askubuntu.com/questions/215194/wifi-is-not-working-on-my-dell-e6400
[03:57] <lotuspsychje> Trinity: starting firefox from terminal might get you some errors too
[03:58] <lotuspsychje> !broadcom | ub-laptop
[03:58] <sambagirl> will chromium sync with all your chromebook apps like chrome does across platforms?
[03:59] <lotuspsychje> sambagirl: chromium is the right version for ubuntu, instead of chrome
[03:59] <ub-laptop> lotuspsychje, is there a way to see if it will work while in a live session? I haven't installed ubuntu yet. I guess it has to be something that doesn't make you reboot or else some way to put the right files into the unetbootin
[03:59] <cfhowlett> ub-laptop, yes.  you can dpgk -i the required .debs in a live session and wifi should pop-up
[03:59] <cfhowlett> at least that's the case for the "no internet access" option
[03:59] <lotuspsychje> ub-laptop: i would suggest installing ubuntu 14.04.2 with ethernet cable on + enable updates during setup + 3rd party software
[04:00] <k0d3g3ar> sambagirl, yes, it does.  You can sign into Google and it works much the same as regular chrome
[04:00] <ub-laptop> cfhowlett, oh i thought it would require a reboot and i assumed anything i install in a live session is gone after reboot
[04:00] <cfhowlett> ub-laptop, everything WILL be gone after a reboot
[04:00] <ub-laptop> lotuspsychje, i need to see if i can get wireless working *before* installing it. This is a gift for someone else.
[04:00] <Trinity> lotuspsychje, i'm a bit confused. i dont think clearing browser cache will do that much of a difference. preload after reading about it sounds like something to speed up the linux system. but doing a hard test between chromium and firefox. chromium doesnt show the same 100% cpu issue
[04:01] <lotuspsychje> Trinity: firefox should run fine on trusty..you need to find the bottleneck
[04:01] <ub-laptop> cfhowlett, im already connected to the internet on it with my LAN do i need to do dpkg -i or could I apt-get install it?
[04:02] <lotuspsychje> Trinity: investigate syslog,dmesg,preload install, browser cache, doublecheck grafix drivers
[04:02] <Trinity> ah, I see what you're getting at. okay
[04:03] <cfhowlett> ub-laptop, if you have lan access, first try "additional drivers".  if that fails, then try the "no internet access" options described in the broadcom wiki.
[04:03] <Fludge> Hello
[04:03] <lotuspsychje> Fludge: welcome, what can we do for you?
[04:03] <Fludge> I am looking to see if something would be a good idea.
[04:04] <cfhowlett> !details | Fludge
[04:05] <Fludge> Oh, support channel, sorry for the interuption.
[04:05] <Fludge> I'll see if there is a different way of contacting the developers.
[04:05] <chaoz> test
[04:05] <lotuspsychje> !test | chaoz
[04:06] <hamnstar> !lol
[04:07] <lotuspsychje> Trinity: you can also go test a livecd of ubuntu, and check if firefox goes 100% cpu from there
[04:09] <Trinity> lotuspsychje, perhaps i forgot to mention i'm a high powered user
[04:09] <Trinity> i'll have 50-75 tabs open at once
[04:09] <Trinity> generally*
[04:09] <Trinity> I don't really hit lag with firefox until it gets to 500 tabs
[04:09] <Trinity> but when i visit some sites like amazon. i'd think its js heavy
[04:09] <lotuspsychje> Trinity: then its not remarkable that you got lags
[04:10] <Trinity> ill start hitting 100% cpu utilization on one thread
[04:10] <Trinity> but the same issue doesnt exist for chromium
[04:10] <lotuspsychje> Trinity: you cant read 50 tabs in one time right?
[04:10] <Trinity> lotuspsychje, :) i'm a hoarder
[04:10] <lotuspsychje> Trinity: whats a hoarder?
[04:11] <Trinity> lotuspsychje, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compulsive_hoarding
[04:11] <Trinity> eh, i guess v8 > firefox
[04:11] <lotuspsychje> Trinity: well i can only reccomend different lightweight browsers
[04:11] <Trinity> lotuspsychje, any suggestions?
[04:11] <michael_mbp> hey guys
[04:12] <michael_mbp> QQ what reponds to ICMP echo requests?
[04:12] <lotuspsychje> Trinity: better open 50 terminal windows with links2 then
[04:12] <ub-laptop> cfhowlett, I found a propreitary driver available for broadcom in the install drivers thingy.. I installed it but wifi did not pop up for me. I wonder if it requires a reboot which might be impossible on live usb session
[04:12] <lotuspsychje> michael_mbp: join the ##networking channel plz
[04:12] <lotuspsychje> !info links2 | Trinity
[04:12] <Trinity> ahh i've been dreaming of making something like that
[04:12] <Trinity> good to know it's already been made :)
[04:12] <michael_mbp> thanks
[04:13] <cfhowlett> ub-laptop, right.  OK then try the "no internet access" method.  the required files are located in /filesystem/cdrom     or perhaps /filesystem/media
[04:13] <Trinity> lotuspsychje, do you know anything else similar to links2 or is that it for open source text/graphic browsers?
[04:14] <lotuspsychje> Trinity: links, lynx and links2
[04:14] <Trinity> lotuspsychje, awesome. thanks
[04:23] <cfhowlett> ub-laptop, still with us?
[04:24] <ub-laptop> yes
[04:24] <ub-laptop> im reading the page you linked but the most recent one it talks about is ubuntu 12.04 but i have trusty. But im hoping maybe it is still works.
[04:25] <ub-laptop> modprobe wl did not work because wl didn't show up there. but that was instructions for ubuntu 10.04
[04:25] <cfhowlett> ub-laptop, it does work but some of the files are not available in 14.04.  skip those because kernel upgrades
[04:26] <cfhowlett> modprobe?  you're looking at something different.  I never modprobed.  dpkg -i the 2 files and wifi popped up.  of course, I'm on bcm 4312 so perhaps it's different.
[04:28] <lotuspsychje> ub-laptop: just install ubuntu over ethernet cable + updates enabled + 3rd party software, if wifi still doesnt show after, install b43 firmware
[04:29] <lotuspsychje> !info firmware-b43-installer | ub-laptop
[04:29] <mojtaba> Is there anyway of streaming youtube video from ubuntu on TV like the one that is possible with android and IOS?
[04:29] <ub-laptop> lotuspsychje, im going to give these laptops to some kids to learn linux with. I just want to see that I can get wireless working but i dont want to install ubuntu because I want to give them the unetbootin made usb and let them install it so they can experience it : )
[04:29] <ub-laptop> but im trying to get wireless working in the live session so that im confident im not handing them crap
[04:30] <cfhowlett> ub-laptop, are these "older" laptops by chance?  I suggest lubuntu/xubuntu
[04:30] <ub-laptop> yes they are
[04:30] <locksmith2> hi
[04:30] <ub-laptop> yes they are old latitude e6400
[04:30] <SayWeCanFly> hey
[04:31] <ub-laptop> I am using xubuntu but I didn't want to say that because I was afraid then someone here would tell me to go away.
[04:31] <lotuspsychje> ub-laptop: some wifi chipsets cant load drivers from default, it needs another way around with ethernet cable
[04:31] <cfhowlett> ub-laptop, lubuntu is optimized for legacy hardware
[04:31] <NegativeFlare> ub-laptop: of course we're not going to tell you to go away.
[04:31] <SayWeCanFly> I need help with my sd card not showing up
[04:31] <cfhowlett> !flavors | xubuntu IS ubuntu.
[04:31] <lotuspsychje> SayWeCanFly: any errors?
[04:32] <SayWeCanFly> not that i know of, just when i plug it into my laptops sd card reader it doesnt show up under devices
[04:32] <lotuspsychje> SayWeCanFly: tail -f /var/log/syslog from terminal and plugin your sd plz
[04:33] <SayWeCanFly> its already plugged in
[04:33] <lotuspsychje> SayWeCanFly: this is to get the errors, plug back out/in
[04:35] <SayWeCanFly> can i paste the whole thing in here? i dont know what im looking for
[04:35] <lotuspsychje> !paste | SayWeCanFly
[04:35] <SayWeCanFly> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11776963/
[04:37] <lotuspsychje> SayWeCanFly: ok, if you can loose data, try formatting it with gparted
[04:37] <mojtaba> Is there anyway of streaming youtube video from ubuntu on TV like the one that is possible with android and IOS?
[04:37] <ub-laptop> cfhowlett, i had some progress, some stuff about wireless now shows up in the network manager thingy -- however it is greyed out because it says wifi disabled by hardware switch
[04:37] <lotuspsychje> !myth | mojtaba
[04:37] <ub-laptop> cfhowlett, but the switch is turned on
[04:37] <lotuspsychje> !mythtv | mojtaba
[04:37] <SayWeCanFly> lotuspsychje: Its already formatted thats what started this
[04:37] <lotuspsychje> SayWeCanFly: in wich format?
[04:37] <mojtaba> lotuspsychje: thanks, I will check it.
[04:37] <cfhowlett> ub-laptop, wanna bet?  :)
[04:38] <cfhowlett> !wifi
[04:38] <SayWeCanFly> I used the disks thing
[04:38] <ub-laptop> cfhowlett, well there is only two ways to put the switch and i tried both.
[04:38] <lotuspsychje> SayWeCanFly: to wich format?
[04:38] <lotuspsychje> SayWeCanFly: ext,fat32,ntfs?
[04:38] <SayWeCanFly> lotuspsychje: Partitioning? MBR / DOS
[04:39] <lotuspsychje> !info gparted | SayWeCanFly try with this
[04:39] <SayWeCanFly> lotuspsychje: like when you go to the start menu and type disks, thats what i used
[04:39] <cfhowlett> ub-laptop, I beg to differ.  under ubuntu, the specific key seems to be different than under windows, e.g. my dell 1545 is F2 under windows but ALT-F2 if in ubuntu.  ONly took me 5 years of rebooting to figure that one out
[04:40] <SayWeCanFly> lotuspsychje: okay im downloading it
[04:40] <ub-laptop> cfhowlett, this latitude e6400 has an actual switch thingy on the side that you slide forward or backward. Of course if there is some other button to press i wouldn't mind that.
[04:40] <cfhowlett> ub-laptop, might have to experiment.  I found mine by complete accident
[04:41] <lotuspsychje> ub-laptop: check also your bios for wifi options like 'last state wifi'
[04:41] <ub-laptop> lotuspsychje, what is that?
[04:41] <SayWeCanFly> lotuspsychje: What do i do with it?
[04:42] <lotuspsychje> SayWeCanFly: gksu gparted from terminal, and format your sd into lets say ntfs for test
[04:42] <locksmith2>  /foreach window /window level MSGS PUBLICS NOTICES CTCPS ACTIONS JOINS PARTS QUITS KICKS MODES TOPICS NICKS CLIENTCRAP
[04:43] <SayWeCanFly> gksu isnt installed
[04:43] <lotuspsychje> ub-laptop: some machines have weird wifi bios option for windows that gives a pain in ubuntu
[04:43] <lotuspsychje> SayWeCanFly: install
[04:45] <SayWeCanFly> lotuspsychje: okay i installed it and did the command, now what?
[04:46] <lotuspsychje> SayWeCanFly: select your sd card with gparted, and format to ntfs
[04:46] <SayWeCanFly> format is greyed out
[04:47] <SayWeCanFly> lotuspsychje: There is no partitions, should there be?
[04:48] <ub-laptop> i got it working but it is really confusing.
[04:48] <ub-laptop> what does rfkill list all
[04:48] <ub-laptop> do?
[04:48] <lotuspsychje> SayWeCanFly: make a partition
[04:48] <SayWeCanFly> what type?
[04:49] <lotuspsychje> SayWeCanFly: if you select your sdcard, you should be able to format it
[04:49] <SayWeCanFly> okay so to ntfs?
[04:49] <ub-laptop> by doing 'rfkill list all' i could see a few devices for both soft and hard and it showed them out of sync. I then turned off the hard block and turned disabled networking, then turned on the hard block and turned on the networking and then enabled wireless was an option.
[04:50] <lotuspsychje> SayWeCanFly: sure for test
[04:50] <SayWeCanFly> it worked
[04:50] <SayWeCanFly> i used fat32 also and it worked
[04:50] <lotuspsychje> SayWeCanFly: ok after that plugout plugin your card, and see if it jumps on now
[04:51] <SayWeCanFly> yup
[04:51] <SayWeCanFly> thanks man
[05:03] <histo> ub-laptop: rfkill list shows the the state of devices that are blocked and unblocked devices
[05:03] <histo> ub-laptop: you can rfkill unblock all to unblock any that are blocked

[06:15] <vamsiampolu> i would like to install ubuntu 15.04 on an external hard drive,it has to work with amd a8 5550G and amd radeon 8550M,i would like to create a version of ubuntu compatible with that
[06:15] <vamsiampolu> sorry,i meant the installer
[06:16] <Ben64> does the normal installer not work
[06:16] <vamsiampolu> how can i do that,i tried installing with 14.04 and my laptop would not boot from the external hard drive
[06:16] <histo> vamsiampolu: you want to install from the external hard drive, or to it.
[06:17] <vamsiampolu> i am using bios mode,so do I need to install to the external hard drive
[06:17] <histo> Kartagis: what's getting added?
[06:17] <vamsiampolu> i need to install to external hdd,i have a usb drive
[06:17] <scorpiohf> hello
[06:17] <EriC^^> vamsiampolu: did you choose the bootloader at the ext harddisk?
[06:17] <vamsiampolu> for using as an installer
[06:17] <scorpiohf> I am trying to install gnome on a VPS, Can anyone help?
[06:17] <histo> !usb | vamsiampolu
[06:18] <Kartagis> histo: /home/t/android-sdk-linux/tools:/home/t/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools
[06:18] <EriC^^> vamsiampolu: during the installation, in the partitioning menu did you choose where to install the bootloader?
[06:18] <vamsiampolu> no,the laptop uses bios(and not uefi)
[06:18] <histo> scorpiohf: Also what type of ubuntu install is this to begin with. It looks like ovh has desktop based vps's
[06:19] <EriC^^> vamsiampolu: you need to choose where to install the bootloader
[06:19] <vamsiampolu> where should i install the bootloader?
[06:19] <scorpiohf> histo: its running a minimal install of ubuntu 15.04
[06:19] <EriC^^> vamsiampolu: the ext hdd
[06:19] <vamsiampolu> should i do it on the external or on the laptop?
[06:19] <EriC^^> vamsiampolu: you can chroot and install grub, you don't have to reinstall
[06:20] <vamsiampolu> ok,i did not know that,and that was a while ago,i am doing a fresh install and it spooks me,having a bad track record
[06:22] <histo> scorpiohf: I'd assume you may have to contact your vps provider for support. Who knows what they've modified in their images for ubuntu
[06:22] <histo> scorpiohf: I can assure installing gnome works for many people running the normal distribution

[06:40] <auronandace> x44x45x41x4E: i'm using hexchat
[06:41] <x44x45x41x4E> Just worried that my machine be compromised because of outdated dependencies for smuxi
[06:41] <x44x45x41x4E> auronandace, thanks man
[06:43] <doug__> when I purge something first I just apt-get purge it, then I get the list of dependencies that are no longer required, then I manually purge the original one plus all those ones too...
[06:44] <doug__> isn't there a way to say , purge all the dependencies that are no longer required too?
[06:45] <auronandace> doug__: i think it's apt-get auto-remove
[06:45] <doug__> you mean run that after with --purge
[06:45] <doug__> ?
[06:46] <Ben64> its just "sudo apt-get autoremove"
[06:46] <doug__> something that pulls in a lot of perl or whatever... I want to purge the crap
[06:46] <doug__> that won't purge the config files that I dont want
[06:46] <doug__> right?
[06:46] <Ben64> shouldn't be using purge all the time
[06:46] <doug__> not using purge all the time
[06:47] <doug__> like I said, I just needed to do it with a package that pulled in a lot of perl stuff
[06:47] <Ben64> its unlikely that all the dependencies have config files anyway

[07:41] <thoughtful_gobli> Hi all, I'm trying to get some commands to run on a system user when their shell starts.  I am using rbenv and I need the PATH and init commands to run when the shell starts.  If the user does not have a home directory where should I be placing these commands.  I have it working with my standard user by sticking the commands in ~/.bashrc
[07:44] <agent_white> Evenin' folks
[07:44] <thoughtful_gobli> I tried useradd --system --gid apps -s /srv/apps_shell app_name but then I was unable to sudo su into the app_name user

[07:56] <user> hi
[07:57] <Guest10386> why is it that i'm getting a
[07:57] <Guest10386> “Assignment outside section in config file.” error?
[07:58] <lotuspsychje> Guest10386: explain a bit what you are trying to do please?
[08:00] <Guest10386> I'm trying to get redshift to autostart/run. i've set up a config file for redshift, but when i run gtk redshift in the terminal, that's what i get.
[08:01] <Guest10386> here's a more detailed version: http://askubuntu.com/questions/641006/assignment-outside-section-in-config-file-error-when-trying-to-run-autostart
[08:01] <Guest10386> i'll be back in a minute, out of power
[08:06] <Mick> dam i have to wait until my name drops
[08:07] <ragbag> I'm back (guy asking about redshift)
[08:07] <lotuspsychje> ragbag: try this perhaps: http://askubuntu.com/questions/482373/how-do-i-install-redshift-1-9-1
[08:07] <lotuspsychje> ragbag: maybe you overlooked something in config?
[08:08] <rory> Hi. I'm getting errors when doing an apt-get upgrade, along the lines of: "gzip: stdout: No space left on device", but I definitely have multiple gigabytes of free space
[08:08] <ragbag> maybe
[08:08] <rory> Here is df -h http://paste.ubuntu.com/11777458/
[08:08] <lotuspsychje> rory: clean out your system with bleachbit
[08:08] <rory> lotuspsychje: I'd like to know what the problem is. I've looked using disk usage analyser, and I have tens of gigabytes free
[08:09] <rory> lotuspsychje: I'm interested where it's trying to write where it thinks there's no space
[08:09] <rory> so I don't think making more disk space is the answer
[08:09] <lotuspsychje> rory: upgrade isnt reccomended on lower disk space, might corrupt the update
[08:09] <rory> I'm not running on close to low disk space
[08:10] <rory> I'm also not upgrading from one release to another, I'm just performing a normal apt-get upgrade
[08:10] <lotuspsychje> rory: wich version to wich?
[08:10] <rory> oh you are trolling me yes ver funny
[08:11] <rory> I will ask back later
[08:11] <lotuspsychje> ?
[08:11] <lotuspsychje> trolling volunteers, thats new to me
[08:12] <Ben64> i guess he didn't see the 5MB free in /boot
[08:12] <lotuspsychje> Ben64: yeah oh well, he might get the same answers when he gets back
[08:16] <vamsiampolu> I am trying to install on an external HDD using UEFI while my laptop has 32 bit Windows 7 installed with Legacy BIOS,Ubuntu installer is warning me about it,should i continue with the install??

[08:17] <vamsiampolu> no,i am installing on external harddrive
[08:18] <EriC^^> vamsiampolu: how are you going to boot it if you don't have uefi?
[08:18] <EriC^^> nevermind
[08:18] <EriC^^> why do you want to install it in uefi mode?

[08:41] <tecnX> Anyone on?
[08:41] <antonio_> I was wondering the same
[08:41] <histo> antonio_: why not just upgrade
[08:41] <histo> !eol | antonio_
[08:42] <histo> antonio_: and now you have a backup incase anything goes wrong during the upgrade

[08:42] <histo> !details | tecnX
[08:43] <tecnX> When booting i can choose from GRUB but after that i just get a blinking courser in the top left

[08:46] <vamsiampolu> i am partitioning my external hdd for installing,i would like to create an additional partition with ntfs in addition to the one i would like to install ubuntu on,should I specify it as a primary  or  extended
[08:47] <histo> antonio_: you update your sources list to update to a newer version of ubuntu rather than re-installing like you are sounding like you're about to do.
[08:47] <tecnX> anyone up to my question?
[08:48] <histo> tecnX: is this a new install?
[08:49] <tecnX> yes it is

[08:49] <histo> !patience | skbly7
[08:50] <vamsiampolu> why cant i specify external partition type as ntfs
[08:50] <histo> skbly7: what are you using as a print server? or how are the machines connected to the printer would be a good bit of info for your question
[08:50] <histo> vamsiampolu: you can create it as primary, and you should be able to set the type to whatever you want.
[08:51] <histo> !nomodeset | tecnX
[08:52] <vamsiampolu> ok,i have resized the existing data partition,i want to create a new partition outside of ubuntu so that I can still use it for storage,so is that primary or extended??
[08:52] <skbly7> histo : all machines are connected to common printer, dnssd printer.. cups. (is this information you mean ?)
[08:53] <histo> vamsiampolu: you can do primary it's fine
[08:53] <histo> vamsiampolu: will you be using this drive with windows?
[08:53] <vamsiampolu> ok
[08:53] <Kartagis> how can I fix this issue of mine where my $PATH keeps getting longer every time I do source .bashrc because I've got export PATH=$PATH:/new/path/ ?
[08:54] <histo> Kartagis: what is getting added to your path?
[08:54] <tecnX> with nomodeset i also get stuck at net registered protocol familiy 1
[08:54] <tecnX> *family
[08:54] <histo> skbly7: yes hold on i'm sure there is a way in cups to define a seperator or header
[08:54] <Kartagis> histo: /home/t/android-sdk-linux/tools:/home/t/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools
[08:54] <histo> Kartagis: then what happens the next time?
[08:55] <skbly7> histo : thanks..   Fuck Canonical.
[08:57] <histo> antonio_: fix your sources.list
[08:57] <skbly7> histo : thanks, checking.
[08:57] <histo> antonio_: the directionis on that page are pretty clear
[08:58] <Kartagis> RonJeremy: please advise why you're such a dick. if you don't like Ubuntu, don't use it
[08:58] <histo> !language
[08:58] <Kartagis> sowwy
[09:00] <antonio_> histo: comp crashed...so how do I upgrade from 12.10 to the current?
[09:00] <histo> Kartagis: This is normal behavior if you keep sourcing your .bashrc it's getting appeneded to the end
[09:01] <histo> antonio_: follow the directions on the EOL page from ubottu
[09:01] <histo> !eol > antonio_
[09:03] <histo> skbly7: in your cups config you can change the JobSheets line to JobSheets standard none   to get a banner page.
[09:03] <histo> skbly7: sorry your printer.conf
[09:04] <histo> s/printer/printers/
[09:04] <skbly7> histo: checking after changing and giving print commands.
[09:05] <vamsiampolu> what should be the device for the bootloader install?
[09:06] <michael_p> i sort of prefer ubuntu better then windows
[09:08] <michael_p> what do you think
[09:08] <vamsiampolu> should i install the bootloader on the same partition that i am installing ubuntu on?
[09:09] <vamsiampolu> or should i just select the external hard drive and continue
[09:09] <skbly7> histo : thanks alot, seperator page started printing, just trying to add username in it reading link you gave. Awesome work by you. :D  You saved me
[09:10] <AndChat|407721> Hey folks
[09:10] <michael_p> hey
[09:11] <histo> michael_p: this channel is for ubuntu related support questions. You can discuss other ubuntu related topics in #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:11] <TJ-> vamsiampolu: boot-loader should be on the physical disk that the PC usually starts with
[09:11] <vamsiampolu> i am installing on the external hard drive,how can i ensure that i do not overwrite the existing bootloader??
[09:11] <histo> vamsiampolu: if you're installing ubuntu on the external, install the bootloader on the external
[09:12] <histo> vamsiampolu: the external hard drive has an existing boot loader?
[09:12] <TJ-> vamsiampolu: There is a choice at the end of the installation process that lets you select the device where the boot-loader should be installed
[09:12] <vamsiampolu> ok,the external does not have a bootloader
[09:12] <vamsiampolu> it is just data
[09:13] <vamsiampolu> but it has multiple partitions,should it be the same partition...
[09:13] <vamsiampolu> where i install ubuntu
[09:13] <TJ-> vamsiampolu: If the boot-loader is installed on the external drive then when the PC starts you'll need to use its boot-menu option to select the external device for booting
[09:13] <TJ-> vamsiampolu: The boot-loader goes on the physical disk device not a partition.
[09:14] <vamsiampolu> @TJ got it
[09:14] <TJ-> vamsiampolu: That's for BIOS based systems of course; for UEFI based systems then the boot-loader will go in the EFI System Partition - usually the 1st FAT32 partition
[09:14] <vamsiampolu> i have bios...i checked
[09:16] <vamsiampolu> how large should the swap partition be,do i need a swap partition??
[09:16] <histo> !swap | vamsiampolu
[09:16] <histo> vamsiampolu: before you get to far do you intend to use this external drive with windows also?
[09:16] <vamsiampolu> yes,i have 2 ntfs partitions on the drive
[09:17] <TJ-> vamsiampolu: To boot Windows from that drive, or just to store Windows data?
[09:17] <vamsiampolu> i intend to use it for storage from windows
[09:18] <reddit_> I'm gonna cum.
[09:18] <reddit_> Oh, wrong channel.
[09:18] <vamsiampolu> i dont need anymore windows,one is good enough
[09:18] <TJ-> vamsiampolu: So the Linux and Windows boot-loaders won't argue over which one gets precedence then. That's good.
[09:20] <histo> TJ-: the issue is windows won't see his partition that's after the linux one
[09:20] <histo> vamsiampolu: you may want to put the ntfs partition first on the disk instead of ubuntu
[09:21] <vamsiampolu> histo: the ntfs partitions are sda1 and sda2 while the Ubuntu partition is sda3,swap is sda4
[09:22] <histo> vamsiampolu: cool. windows will only see sda1 so you know
[09:24] <vamsiampolu> tj:  removed and resized the partition,lost 1 MB :(
[09:25] <Kartagis> I have got a 3tb usb hdd, syslog says very big device and gparted says unallocated. any ideas?
[09:28] <EriC^^> Kartagis: what are you trying to do?
[09:28] <Kartagis> EriC^^: access my hdd
[09:28] <EriC^^> is it a new hdd?
[09:28] <EriC^^> type sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999
[09:29] <Kartagis> EriC^^: no, it's 2-3 yrs old
[09:29] <Kartagis> what's termbin.com ?
[09:30] <EriC^^> it's a pastebin

[09:32] <Kartagis> EriC^^: ^
[09:34] <agent_white> Good evenin/morning folks!
[09:34] <Kartagis> brb
[09:34] <Xat`> hi guys
[09:35] <Xat`> why I am able to remove a file in my home dir , whereas this file is not mine ?
[09:35] <Xat`> that's happen only with files in my home
[09:35] <Seveas> Xat`: because removing a file needs no more permission than write access to the containing folder. Ownership and permissions of the file are irrelevant.
[09:35] <Xat`> I don't have write right on it
[09:36] <Xat`> Seveas: I cannot reproduce it in /tmp
[09:37] <michael_p> can xbuntu 11:10 still be run with the latest drivers
[09:37] <Seveas> Xat`: because /tmp has the sticky bit set, which then makes ownership of the files count.
[09:38] <Xat`> you're right
[09:38] <Xat`> thank Seveas
[09:38] <Kartagis> back
[09:38] <Seveas> michael_p: no. Ubuntu 11.10 has been unsupported for a while now.
[09:38] <Kartagis> EriC^^: , so, any ideas?
[09:38] <michael_p> dam
[09:39] <Seveas> michael_p: upgrade is long overdue. Support for 11.10 ended 2 years and 2 months ago.
[09:39] <EriC^^> Kartagis: yeah, you're using msdos and it only supports 2TB partitions
[09:40] <michael_p> what about 12:04
[09:40] <EriC^^> you can either make multiple partitions or convert the partition table to gpt Kartagis
[09:40] <Kartagis> EriC^^: I have multiple partitions there, 2 and 1
[09:40] <Kartagis> !lts | michael_p
[09:40] <EriC^^> i know, but you can't make a partition that's more than 2TB
[09:41] <EriC^^> Kartagis:
[09:41] <michael_p> i like the look of the mac icon
[09:42] <Kartagis> EriC^^: I used to be able to read it though, before I re-installed OS a few times
[09:42] <Kartagis> EriC^^: then, my fs was reiserfs
[09:43] <gagalicious> i'm having trouble creating "kickstart" for my pxe install of ubuntu. anywhere i can read more on this? it seems ubuntu uses preseed instead of kickstart?
[09:44] <gagalicious> i'm basically stuck at this area : Configure the network : The name servers are used to look up host names on the network
[09:45] <EriC^^> Kartagis: i'm not following
[09:46] <EriC^^> Kartagis: you had other partitions?
[09:47] <EriC^^> Kartagis: try testdisk, and don't write anything until you get the partitions right or it will erase the current ones
[09:47] <gagalicious> Does anyone have a sample kickstart for ubuntu 14.04 install that i can reference?
[09:47] <Kartagis> EriC^^: in the past 2 weeks, I tried a few distros and came back to my beloved Ubuntu, which I'd been using since hardy heron. before that, it was working fine and I could access it. but, my fs was reiserfs then and now it's ext4
[09:47] <starkiller> i need help :( i cant shutdown xubunto it takes me to the loggin screen:P
[09:47] <EriC^^> sudo apt-get install testdisk, then sudo testdisk, and press p to view the files of the partitions it finds
[09:47] <EriC^^> Kartagis:
[09:49] <Kartagis> EriC^^: do I want to use 'EFI GPT'?
[09:50] <EriC^^> no, Intel
[09:51] <EriC^^> Kartagis: is Intel preselected?
[09:51] <Kartagis> aye
[09:51] <EriC^^> ok

[10:40] <ubskeur> rainbowwarrior, if it doesn't vlc is your next bet
[10:41] <shiznix> handbrake is a good dvd ripper too
[10:41] <rainbowwarrior> ubskeur ok thank you
[10:41] <rainbowwarrior> shiznix, I have tried handbreak but it is only doing 20 minutes of my dvd :(
[10:42] <shiznix> :(
[10:42] <miladtargholi> hi
[10:43] <ubskeur> anyone running 15.04 want to see if timidity is working for them?
[10:43] <ubskeur> I might submit a bug report for it
[10:43] <rust> when I run high quality video in vlc it flickers on high fps !! any idea to solve it
[10:44] <bazhang> try mplayer yet rust?
[10:44] <rust> mplayer is better than vlc ?
[10:45] <bazhang> try it and see
[10:45] <bazhang> !info smplayer | rust
[10:45] <Kartagis> EriC^^: none of them are selectable
[10:46] <Kartagis> !find mencode
[10:46] <Kartagis> !find mencoder
[10:47] <EriC^^> Kartagis: stop the quick search
[10:47] <EriC^^> and then use the use down arrows to highlight it then press p
[10:47] <Kartagis> Support for this filesystem hasn't been enable during compilation.
[10:48] <EriC^^> ah
[10:48] <EriC^^> maybe download the source and compile it with the fs support
[10:50] <MaxFrames> hello
[10:50] <EriC^^> Kartagis: do you need the data on the disk?
[10:50] <Kartagis> aye
[10:51] <bazhang> http://tuxtweaks.com/2014/02/rip-dvd-mplayer/  rainbowwarrior
[10:51] <Kartagis> download the source of testdisk?
[10:51] <MaxFrames> I've purchased an usb to rs232 adapter, certified linux compatible (up until the latest kernel), how do I make sure it was detected correctly and working (other than of course connecting to a device over rs232 and see what happens)?
[10:51] <EriC^^> ok, well you can write the partition with testdisk, so it would show up, but you need to pay attention to get the other 2 partitions there too
[10:51] <EriC^^> Kartagis:
[10:51] <EriC^^> then you would mount it as usual
[10:51] <Kartagis> EriC^^: would it not suffice to install reiserfsprogs?
[10:52] <EriC^^> maybe try that
[10:52] <MaxFrames> this is the output of dmesg | grep tty:
[10:52] <rainbowwarrior> bazhang, thank you will take a look
[10:52] <ikonia> hasn't resier been removed from the kernel now ?
[10:52] <MaxFrames> [0.000000] console [tty0] enabled
[10:52] <bazhang> rainbowwarrior, welcome, once thats done use handbrake to reenconde to mp4
[10:52] <MaxFrames> [161.471573] usb 3-1: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
[10:52] <bazhang> also reencode
[10:53] <rainbowwarrior> bazhang ok thank you :)
[10:53] <MaxFrames> this seems to confirm it has been detected and configured, rigt?
[10:53] <Kartagis> installing reiserfsprogs didn't work

[11:28] <leeyaa> what could be the reason for that ?
[11:29] <ikonia> what did you upgrade
[11:29] <leeyaa> ikonia: mysql-server and mysql-client
[11:30] <ikonia> show me the current full package names
[11:31] <leeyaa> ikonia: thats for server https://bpaste.net/show/b73940e676bc and thats for client https://bpaste.net/show/4bc4ff4bea68
[11:32] <ikonia> leeyaa: Breaks: mysql-client (<< 5.5.43-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>), mysql-client-5.0, mysql-client-5.1
[11:32] <ikonia> where have you got this package from ?
[11:33] <leeyaa> ikonia: i dont have extra repositories. server used to be 12.04 at some point
[11:33] <ikonia> where did you get this package from
[11:33] <mircx1> Hello please help very much time i try to understand what i need install for this
[11:33] <mircx1>  GnuTLS not found, multiplex will have no SSL support
[11:33] <mircx1> and i try to install for this
[11:33] <leeyaa> what do you mean w here did i get them from? from official repositories some time ago i dont know when. not sure why apt did not remove them during upgrade
[11:34] <ikonia> leeyaa: can I please see the output of "uname -a" please
[11:34] <leeyaa> and they are not installed too
[11:34] <leeyaa> ikonia: this is uname -a: Linux vm-sql2.fl.nc 3.13.0-44-generic #73-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 16 00:22:43 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[11:35] <ikonia> !info Breaks: mysql-client (<< 5.5.43-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>), mysql-client-5.0, mysql-client-5.1
[11:36] <ikonia> ops
[11:36] <ikonia> sorry
[11:36] <ikonia> !info mysql-client 14.04
[11:36] <ikonia> !info mysql-client trusty
[11:38] <leeyaa> that tells me nothing :D
[11:38] <leeyaa> anyway, how to get rid of 5.5.41 ?
[11:38] <ikonia> it's meant to give me info
[11:38] <leeyaa> i see
[11:38] <javierc> Hello guys. I have a question. In a full windows environment. we use Domains. Whats the Linux equivalent? Or do a group of Linux machines use Workgroups?
[11:39] <leeyaa> javierc: i use NIS when i need something simple
[11:39] <Seveas> javierc: the equivalent would be ldap+kerberos
[11:39] <leeyaa> or that if you need real equivalent
[11:39] <Seveas> leeyaa: the 90's called and want their software back...
[11:40] <leeyaa> Seveas: whats that supposed to mean? :D
[11:40] <leeyaa> its working, yes? :)
[11:40] <Seveas> no, it's not.
[11:41] <javierc> I was curious how two linux machines can easily share files with each other. In Windows that seems quiet easy. Installing Samba File server on both clients seems like an insane idea if your trying to share a few files between two workstations.
[11:41] <ikonia> javierc: what do you think it is that shares windows file systems ?
[11:41] <ikonia> it's the microsoft version of s samba server and client
[11:42] <leeyaa> javierc: why not just nfs if you need only file sharing
[11:42] <leeyaa> ikonia: any info how to get rid of mysql 5.5.41 ? :P
[11:42] <javierc> Ok. I'll readup on NFS.
[11:42] <ikonia> leeyaa: according to that package - it's not there
[11:42] <Seveas> javierc: the windows workstations have something equivalent to the samba server for file sharing. Though if it's pure linux: use nfs, or sshfs for a quick hack.
[11:43] <leeyaa> ikonia: so what is the correct package ?
[11:43] <ikonia> the one you have is currnet for 14.04
[11:43] <leeyaa> hm
[11:43] <elu> pleaseeeeeeeeee help me  i need the crack of reason 8
[11:44] <leeyaa> dafuq
[11:45] <mcphail> elu: http://ubuntustudio.org/
[11:45] <mircx1> someone can help to me please?
[11:46] <mircx1> i try install this
[11:46] <mircx1> GnuTLS
[11:46] <javierc> Fyi. Seems that theres something call Giver that supposedly makes sharing files between workstations easy. Going to give it a try. seems interesting.
[11:46] <ikonia> leeyaa: no need for rude comments
[11:46] <mircx1> with this commands
[11:46] <mircx1> sudo apt-get install build-essential
[11:46] <mircx1> and i get
[11:46] <ikonia> GnuTLS ? and you're installing build-essential ?
[11:47] <mircx1> GnuTLS not found, multiplex will have no SSL support
[11:47] <mircx1>       Compiling...
[11:47] <mircx1>       Multiplex process support available.
[11:47] <ikonia> there is pre-build tls package for ubuntu - surely ?
[11:47] <leeyaa> yeah sorry
[11:47] <mircx1> nothing
[11:47] <leeyaa> ikonia: btw i installed mysql-server-5.5 and it seems that fixed the problem
[11:47] <ikonia> what do you mean "nothing" are you saying there is no tls
[11:47] <mircx1> how i fix this?
[11:47] <leeyaa> but im not sure if it is the correct thing to do
[11:47] <ikonia> leeyaa you said you had already done that
[11:47] <leeyaa> no i said i have mysql-server
[11:48] <ikonia> that has nothing to do with the client
[11:48] <TJ-> !info gnutls-bin | mircx1
[11:48] <ikonia> looks like the package is there
[11:48] <ikonia> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuTLS
[11:48] <leeyaa> i think i understand it now
[11:53] <chrisss123456> vfw: TJ-: Hey guys, I'm here from yesterday, with my silly sound card issue.... :(
[11:54] <chrisss123456> It's still doing the same nonsense thing, despite the conf file now having both lines choosing when it idles, and if it idles at all.
[11:54] <chrisss123456> the /sys/ file still says 1 under whether it would power save or not
[11:54] <chrisss123456> how bad an idea is it to change this value to 0 in the /sys/ directory?
[11:55] <musclez> anyone here an expert on restoring busted kernels/ repairing apt and dpkg? I cannot boot and we didnt get very far yesterday
[11:56] <ikonia> restoring "busted kernels"
[11:56] <ikonia> what is a busted kernel
[12:07] <musclez> http://askubuntu.com/questions/640362/unable-to-boot-after-removing-old-kernels http://askubuntu.com/questions/640862/sub-process-usr-bin-dpkg-received-a-segmentation-fault are soem posts i have made
[12:08] <ikonia> musclez: can you give me a one line summary
[12:08] <ikonia> if I wanted to use askubuntu - I'd use ask ubuntu
[12:08] <family> is there somebody
[12:08] <musclez> i removed old kernels on /boot drive and haven been able to boot since
[12:09] <ikonia> what kernel is currently there ?
[12:09] <skfax> Given that I have one online computer and one offline computer and that I wish to install http://wiki.ros.org/jade/Installation/Ubuntu on the offline computer: What is the easiest way to install the packages on the offline machine? With a simple apt-get install I can just mirror the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives.
[12:09] <musclez> 3.13.0-57-generic
[12:10] <musclez> that installed automatically i ran 'apt-get install linux-image-generic'
[12:11] <ikonia> ok - so whats the error when you try to boot ?
[12:13] <family> kinda old kernel
[12:13] <MrJones> what is it with bluetooth and the bad drivers
[12:13] <musclez> alert! dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root doest not exist. dropping to shell!!
[12:13] <MrJones> does bluetooth work properly for anyone?
[12:13] <ikonia> musclez: so that means you can't see the disks
[12:14] <ikonia> musclez: that question is why can't you see the disks
[12:14] <leeyaa> guys what could be the reason for charset client and charset connection settings to be different in two mysql servers? identical server version and configuration https://bpaste.net/show/bef1d2e382d8
[12:14] <musclez> i would liek to install newer kernels.. but even when i am able to apt-get <IP_ADDRESS>-generic for example.. it still will not boot
[12:14] <MrJones> got almost zero problems with my phone combined with various devices (headphones), but with both fedora and ubuntu laptops I have an insane amount of problems
[12:14] <ikonia> musclez: forget the kernel
[12:14] <ikonia> musclez: you can't see the disks
[12:14] <ikonia> that is the problem you need to understand and fix
[12:15] <musclez> well hold on.. the disk shoudl be visible and ill showe u why... we covereed this last night http://paste.ubuntu.com/11776838/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/11776837/   http://paste.ubuntu.com/11776851/
[12:15] <family> musclez
[12:16] <family> go learn spelling
[12:16] <ikonia> musclez: how are you doing these commands if you can't boot
[12:16] <ikonia> family: don't be rude
[12:16] <ikonia> family: help - or don't
[12:16] <family> sorry but this is hurting my eyes*
[12:16] <ikonia> musclez: if you could leave text speak out like "u" that would be helpful
[12:17] <family> u should reinstall
[12:17] <musclez> wow
[12:17] <musclez> anyway... im running live usb
[12:17] <ikonia> musclez: so that means nothing
[12:17] <ikonia> just because a live image can see your disks, does not mean you machine can
[12:17] <musclez> u asked how i am running these commands
[12:17] <musclez> that measn everything
[12:17] <ikonia> it means nothing
[12:18] <ikonia> you need to debug why your machine you are trying to boot can't see the disks
[12:18] <family> this is weird
[12:18] <leeyaa> whops wrong channel
[12:19] <family> smartmontools
[12:19] <family> maybe
[12:19] <family> ikonia
[12:19] <ikonia> what ?
[12:20] <family> smartlontools
[12:20] <ikonia> no
[12:20] <family> why??
[12:20] <ikonia> if you look at the paste you'll see clear thing
[12:20] <ikonia> he's updating the initfamfs for 3.13
[12:20] <ikonia> he's botting 3.17
[12:20] <family> ahh i cant see disks ok
[12:20] <ikonia> these are different kernels
[12:20] <family> yes
[12:20] <family> well
[12:21] <family> that is a complex problem
[12:21] <musclez> welcome to my week
[12:21] <elu_> I NEED KALILINUX
[12:21] <family> what do u wanna do with this??
[12:21] <djjeff> how serious is this CVE?
[12:21] <djjeff> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11778291/
[12:21] <ikonia> ebru: then join their channel/read their website and install it, this is nothing to do with ubuntu
[12:21] <ikonia> ebru: if you keep asking questions that are nothing to do with ubuntu - you will get banned
[12:22] <family> musclez
[12:22] <family> u fr???
[12:23] <musclez> what do u wnt fmly?
[12:23] <family> are u french
[12:23] <musclez> lol, negative
[12:23] <family> musclez is a french verb
[12:23] <quantibiliy> wow you guys are actually a active in the morning.. well at least its morning here.
[12:23] <musclez> its also muscles with a z
[12:24] <family> where a u from
[12:24] <quantibiliy> the latest installment of ubuntu, and linux seems interesting enough.
[12:25] <quantibiliy> anyone else have a problem with their mouse disappearing?
[12:25] <family> yes
[12:25] <quantibiliy> after comming out of sleep or hibernation?
[12:25] <family> ye
[12:25] <ikonia> .wub 1
[12:25] <ikonia> oops
[12:25] <musclez> family, no offense bro but can we stay on topic?
[12:25] <family> yes sorry
[12:26] <family> @quantability --> this is a know bug
[12:27] <musclez> many times when i try to run apt-get or dpkg commands, i get similar errors ro this: 'dpkg: error parsing file 'var/lib/dpkg/status' near line xxxx..... 'Depends' feild, invlaid package name 'xxxxxxxx':must start with a number/alphanumeric character
[12:27] <musclez> ikonia, you said to debug.. any idea how i shoudl go abotu doing that
[12:27] <ikonia> well, you know it's not booting - so your OS isn't the problem
[12:28] <ikonia> so it stands to reason the initramfs will be the first place to look
[12:29] <mircx1> i doing what i need and again error
[12:29] <mircx1> GnuTLS not found, multiplex will have no SSL support
[12:29] <quantibiliy> Family: then i guess i should over git hub and figure the work around myself?
[12:29] <quantibiliy> should run over
[12:29] <quantibiliy> yes sometimes entire words disappear from my typing.
[12:29] <musclez> ikonia i dontknwo hwo to attempt/ have no idea what u are talking aobut
[12:43] <musclez> _shlerp was getting very far until he gt disconnected... are you sure there is no other valueable advice you may offer?
[12:44] <agent_white> musclez: What exactly is your issue?
[12:44] <agent_white> 05:55 < musclez> anyone here an expert on restoring busted kernels/ repairing apt and dpkg? I cannot boot and we didnt  get very far yesterday
[12:44] <agent_white> Is not helpful.
[12:45] <musclez> i also offered two of my posts on ask ubuntu
[12:45] <ikonia> I've told you where to look
[12:45] <ikonia> as a starting point
[12:46] <gagalicious> how do i do a raid on preseed for ubuntu 14.04
[12:46] <gagalicious> i would like to raid 1 two hdds
[12:46] <gagalicious> does anyone know?
[12:46] <agent_white> musclez: Have you looked at the second post you made?
[12:46] <agent_white> The response was, essentially... give us more information.,
[12:46] <agent_white> "
[12:46] <agent_white> Is that the entire output of the upgrade command? if not, please consider posting more (or all) of it: you can use a hosting service such as pastebin if it is too long to include here directly. It may also be helpful to describe how you removed the old kernel images. "
[12:46] <musclez> yes why agent_white?
[12:47] <jaems924> I have a quick question. HOw do I update and upgrade Ubuntu from the terminal? THe command
[12:47] <musclez> ikonia i asked if you could clarify and you didnt respond.. and then i asked again
[12:47] <Pici> jaems924: to a new release, or do you just want to upgrade the packages you have installed?
[12:47] <ikonia> musclez: what do you need clarification on ?
[12:48] <abhijeet> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade @jaems924
[12:48] <jaems924> new release?
[12:48] <musclez> you told me where to look but im not sure what you meant by that or hwo to access it
[12:48] <Pici> jaems924: sudo do-release-upgrade
[12:48] <agent_white> musclez: Because we need more information to help. For instance, in the second post,  "I was try to free up space on my /boot by removing old Linux images". -- How did you come to this conclusion?  How did you remove these Linux images?  Why did you do this? What happened? What logs do you have? etc...
[12:48] <ikonia> musclez: it's your box so you have acces
[12:48] <ikonia> and the paste you showed me - you updated it on an old kernel
[12:48] <ikonia> so you know what it is
[12:49] <TJ-> musclez: The PC has UEFI firmware. UEFI stores a boot-menu in the motherboard non-volatile RAM. At installation an entry is added to that menu my the installer. At boot-time that menu is displayed. If the boot-menu entries are wiped for any reason (bugs, user action, tools, etc.) then the PC won't 'know' about the installed operating systems.
[12:49] <musclez> ive used synaptic and apt-get purge... all i did was follow ubuntu documentation for freing up space on my /boot drive
[12:49] <musclez> and now i cannot boot
[12:49] <agent_white> musclez: We cannot help you without sufficient information on your issue. :(
[12:50] <TJ-> musclez: In summary, it looks as if when you purged some of those unwanted kernels it triggered the tool "efibootmgr" to remove the UEFI boot-menu entry too, leaving the system unbootable
[12:50] <TJ-> musclez: Are you able to boot the PC using a Live ISO image, on USB or DVD ?
[12:51] <musclez> yes tj
[12:51] <musclez> and i can soemtimes run apt-get and dpkg commands from live usb
[12:51] <musclez> as root
[12:51] <musclez> manytimes, however, it will crash
[12:52] <TJ-> musclez: In which case it should be possible to fix using a 'chroot'. Have you been trying to fix it by creating a 'chroot' environment ?
[12:52] <musclez> yes
[12:52] <musclez> i've established root and updated numerous times.. seomtiems wit works... soemtimes it does not
[12:52] <TJ-> musclez: So, the crashes happen whilst 'inside' the chroot?
[12:52] <musclez> yes TJ
[12:53] <musclez> not the live usb itself.. just teminal and the ability to run future apt-get or dpkg commands until i reboot the live usb
[12:53] <TJ-> musclez: Great... all this information is very helpful to us in narrowing down the precise scenario
[12:53] <musclez> yes, i went over most of this yesterday and was more than willing to explain to people willing to listen
[12:53] <TJ-> musclez: Are you following some Wiki or Forum guide on how to create and use the chroot? If so, can you give us the link?
[12:54] <TJ-> musclez: It's possible the 'chroot' instructions might not quite be correct, or be incomplete
[12:55] <musclez> http://pastebin.com/XrFDuYFa
[12:55] <musclez> luks encypted
[12:56] <random_user_587> Hi all! Can ubuntu touch run Android Apps?
[12:56] <musclez> that took me days to figure out how to do.. yes i have been following a multitue of tutorials before i ever attempted to join the channel
[12:57] <xangua> random_user_587: no
[12:57] <mistralol> where would I raise a libc / kernel bug?
[12:57] <xangua> !touch
[12:57] <random_user_587> ok xangua, thanks ;)
[12:57] <random_user_587> have a nice day ;)
[12:57] <TJ-> musclez: OK, that looks good but I'd drop "sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/boot"  and instead, once in the chroot, do "mount -a" which will correctly mount all the fstab entries
[12:58] <TJ-> musclez: Doing that ensures that the EFI system partition is also mounted on /boot/efi/ (inside the chroot)
[12:58] <musclez> ok i will run that.. but woudl that compenstate for the failing apt-get?
[12:59] <rekedmir> Hey guys, is it possible to change the partition code of a partition with parted?
[12:59] <musclez> becasue even when i have the right paths mounted.. i need to ensure that the stuff will install with
[12:59] <rekedmir> I want to change an vfat partition's code to 0xef00 (EFI)
[12:59] <TJ-> musclez: It depends on which command apt-get was executing ... for 'install' and similar, yes, that could have an impact
[12:59] <musclez> ok.. i will try that now
[13:00] <TJ-> rekedmir: "sgdisk --typecode=<partitition-number>:<hexcode>"
[13:01] <rekedmir> TJ-: Does sgdisk come with parted or is it its own package? I would very much prefer not having to install another tool
[13:02] <TJ-> rekedmir: it's part of the gdisk package
[13:03] <rekedmir> TJ-: Hmmmm, don't have it installed. Anyhow, thank you for the suggestion
[13:03] <TJ-> rekedmir: parted is very patchy when it comes to editing an existing entry
[13:04] <TJ-> rekedmir: gdisk is *the* package for manipulating GPT
[13:04] <rekedmir> TJ-: Yeah, I understand.
[13:10] <swizgard> hello. you would not know by any chance how to create a new user account with an encrypted home folder nowadays, or would you?
[13:11] <swizgard> because adduser --encrpyt-home username doesn't do it anymore
[13:11] <musclez> TJ- i was able to use ur command
[13:11] <musclez> mount -a
[13:12] <ads8f787> g
[13:12] <TJ-> musclez: OK .. and now you should see the UEFO boot files in "/boot/efi/", yes? A directory "EFI/" with sub-dirs and files
[13:12] <ads8f787> where is that? ^
[13:13] <musclez> nothing in it.. also it doesnt show under /mnt/boot anymore (i'm using desktop)
[13:15] <musclez> sudo ls 'media/ubuntu/###-###-###-###/efi' cannot acces no such file or directory
[13:15] <ads8f787> mean mode or average
[13:16] <professor_w> hello
[13:16]  * professor_w dá uma voadera em todos da sala
[13:17] <musclez> nooo TJ!
[13:18] <atif> hi
[13:18] <atif> wts up
[13:19] <musclez> TJ- did u see my update?
[13:22] <TJ-> musclez: probably not :)
[13:26] <musclez> musclez: nothing in it.. also it doesnt show under /mnt/boot anymore (i'm using desktop)
[13:26] <musclez> (9:15:34 AM) musclez: sudo ls 'media/ubuntu/###-###-###-###/efi' cannot acces no such file or directory
[13:29] <musclez> TJ-
[13:32] <TJ-> musclez: So, you're in the chroot, you did "mount -a" ... what does "mount" report, does it show anything mounted at /boot/ and /boot/efi/ ?
[13:33] <musclez> there was no output.. i jsut ran it again and it may have crashed the terminal
[13:34] <musclez> i ran dpkg --configure -a while u were away and i got back "segmentation fault"
[13:35] <zzarr> how do I avoid the "Using prebuilt kernel binary instead of source" message? when building Ubuntu for my phone?
[13:35] <ikonia> why are you trying to mess with dpkg
[13:35] <ikonia> just get your machine booting
[13:35] <agent_white> .wg
[13:36] <musclez> ikonia, for the fifth time, apt-get crashes, usualyl with some message relating to dpkg
[13:36] <ikonia> for the fith time so what ??
[13:36] <ikonia> fix your box to boot into the machine
[13:36] <ikonia> you can't boot at hte moment
[13:36] <ikonia> you are wasting your time
[13:37] <musclez> are you tying to be useless? if you cant help just dont bother
[13:37] <ikonia> I'm being quite the opposite
[13:37] <ikonia> I'm trying to push you to the right area
[13:37] <musclez> frustrating is not the opposite of useless
[13:37] <ikonia> so you stop wasting your tim on pointless tasks
[13:38] <musclez> i've been sitting here waiting for a next step.. i litterally have no affinity for having any type of further conversation with you ikonia
[13:38] <musclez> thanks for the effort
[13:38] <ikonia> what next step ?
[13:38] <ikonia> the next step is you to debug the problem
[13:39] <ikonia> not go on a tagent with dpkg
[13:40] <agent_white> musclez: You should not be 'waiting for the next step' when it is YOU who messed up.
[13:40] <agent_white> Noone is going to feed you unless you're in a high-chair.
[13:40] <agent_white> !next
[13:41] <agent_white> Damned. They got rid of it!
[13:44] <musclez> so far i've not had any isse with how TJ- or _shlerp decided to help me.  After installing a new kernel, did you update grub via `sudo update-grub` ?
[13:48] <agent_white> Why you're using a live-disk... I don't even.
[13:49] <TJ-> musclez: Have you done a memtest on that system... I suspect you have data corruption, either due to faulty RAM or possibly a failing disk drive or controller... check the /var/log/dmesg and /var/log/kern.log for indications.
[13:49] <musclez> memtest wont run though grub2
[13:50] <agent_white> musclez: Heh?
[13:50] <agent_white> musclez: What happens when you just... turn on your computer?
[13:51] <agent_white> (I'm just tuning in, no idea what exactly your issue is besides being 'unable to boot' after removing kernels... apparently in the wrong fashion)
[13:51] <ikonia> the kernel on his box has been screwed up on the initrd
[13:51] <ikonia> as he was messsing with it
[13:51] <ikonia> it can't see lvm
[13:52] <ikonia> that is the problem
[13:52] <ikonia> I've told him multiple times
[13:52] <ikonia> not sure why this is not clear
[13:52] <ikonia> so either lvm/crypt support is missing
[13:52] <ikonia> his fstab shows somethings crypted, some not
[13:52] <ikonia> but it's not even getting to that point as initrd is goosed
[13:53] <vamsiampolu> my external hard drive ubuntu 15.04 install would not boot up on my machine after install,i have connected it to a laptop with intel inside,i have managed to install sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates xvba-va-driver libva-glx1 libva-egl1 vainfo
[13:54] <vamsiampolu> now,because i am on an intel pc,i do not have the appropriate hardware to do sudo amdconfig --adapter=all --initial
[13:54] <vamsiampolu> how can i ensure that the os boots up correctly and does not get stuck at checking ramdisk???
[13:54] <musclez> TJ- there is nothing in my /boot/efi folder before i mount it
[13:55] <musclez> just to reiterate... terminal crashed when i tried to mount -a again... which probably was unecssary but i wanted to see if ther was output
[13:55] <TJ-> musclez: No, there shouldn't be it is just a mount point. But after "mount -a" the EFI System partition should be mounted there so you should see, at least, "/boot/efi/EFI/"
[13:55] <vamsiampolu> TJ:  thanks for helping me with the install BTW
[13:58] <musclez> i just want to let everyonr here know that my R9 Fury X just arrived....
[13:58] <DrunkenDwarf> Hi all, hoping someone can lend a hand, I have a clean version of Ubuntu 14.04 (running in a docker container) and I'm building the environment I need. I'm trying to install gcc-multilib through apt-get and im getting the error: "gcc-multilib : Depends: gcc-4.8-multilib (>= 4.8.2-5~) but it is not going to be installed". Does anyone know how I can fix it? some googling hasn't been helpful and I need a robust sorta fix cause this environment
[13:59] <TJ-> vamsiampolu: If the external drive is booting (that means loading the GRUB boot loader) and then GRUB is loading the operating system, such that the OS has a problem whilst executing the scripts in the initial RAM disk (initrd), then the issue is in the OS configuration rather than the boot loader
[14:00] <pbx> DrunkenDwarf, share the exact command you're running via a pastebin. also, have you run apt-get update?
[14:00] <vamsiampolu> -> TJ:   ok,it did boot up on an intel machine though
[14:01] <vamsiampolu> and i have managed to do this http://pastebin.com/Wx1ap02K
[14:01] <TJ-> vamsiampolu: Right, so there's something in the initrd configuration causing a problem. Does the initrd problem eventually lead to it starting a busybox shell where you can investigate?
[14:01] <DrunkenDwarf> pbx: Yes, im running update first and the exact command is "apt-get install -y gcc-multilib" It used to work fine but is now not
[14:02] <vamsiampolu> no,it just hangs there on my machine
[14:02] <pbx> DrunkenDwarf, what's different between the time that it worked and now?
[14:02] <TJ-> vamsiampolu: Have you tried starting with the Recovery option?
[14:03] <vamsiampolu> no
[14:03] <DrunkenDwarf> pbx no difference I can think of. the containers running off the exact same version of Ubuntu, being build by the exact same script
 TJ i will try that and let you know
[14:04] <TJ-> vamsiampolu: That is always the first option to try. Amongst other things it will not hide the terminal so you'll see text from log messages as it progresses which, if they stop, should indicate roughly where the problem is
[14:04] <vamsiampolu> ok
[14:05] <TJ-> DrunkenDwarf: what does "dpkg --print-foreign-architectures" report?
[14:06] <DrunkenDwarf> TJ- gimmie a sec, ill put it in the script and see
[14:08] <DrunkenDwarf> TJ-: Either nothing or the container its building in is silencing the output :/
[14:09] <TJ-> DrunkenDwarf: I assume you want -multilib to build for a different architecture?
[14:09] <DrunkenDwarf> Im running some software that requires the 32bit libs
[14:12] <TJ-> DrunkenDwarf: so the installation will need the i386 foreign architecture set. If this worked previously it should already be there, via "dpkg --add-architecture i386"
[14:19] <topherkris2782> this is actually driving me nuts. How does one limit thumbnail generation (ie. turn it off) in Files. In nautilus it was simple but for the life of me, I can't figure it out.
[14:20] <pbx> topherkris2782, Preferences > Preview
[14:23] <topherkris2782> pbx: I can't actually find the "Preferences" dialogue. Where should it be, around stuff like "Show Hidden Files" or "New Tab" "New Window" etc
[14:23] <topherkris2782> i'm using gnome and whatever the latest stable ubuntu release is, if it makes any difference.
[14:24] <ioria> what file manager ?
[14:24] <topherkris2782> ioria: Files
[14:24] <squinty> click on Files and then go to the task bar at the very top of your screen on the left hand side
[14:24] <squinty> you should see various options appear
[14:25] <topherkris2782> Yup, all I've got is "Quit"
[14:25] <pbx> topherkris2782, Edit > Preferences
[14:26] <topherkris2782> pbx: Yah, that's how I always did it in nautilus. For the life of me I cannot figure out why those options aren't avaluable.
[14:26] <pbx> topherkris2782, i don't know what's up. maybe it's a gnome thing. i'm running stock 14.04 with unity and Edit > Preferences is there
[14:27] <topherkris2782> i'll look at gconf or whatever.
[14:29] <topherkris2782> I'm on 15.04 apparently, hrm.
[14:29] <pycoder> hi
[14:31] <iszak> I am using ubuntu 12.04 and for whatever reason I am getting errors about unauthenticated packages, gpg keys, is there something wrong with the key server?
[14:32] <musclez> is there anywhere to get paid support for ubuntu?
[14:33] <leeyaa> erm
[14:33] <leeyaa> why Ubuntu has mysql check enabled when restarting mysql lol
[14:34] <teward> iszak: do you use any third party repositories?
[14:34] <teward> musclez: you can sign up for the Ubuntu Advantage program... http://www.ubuntu.com/management/ubuntu-advantage
[14:35] <teward> musclez: $105 a year for desktop support, but for more advanced problems I"m not sure if they'll be able to really help all that much
[14:35] <musclez> i just need someone to do this for me i cant spend anymore time on it
[14:36] <iszak> musclez: what issue
[14:36] <pradeep> #mikrotik
[14:37] <musclez> i've currupted either my boot drive, initramfs, apt-get, or dpkg
[14:37] <musclez> i get various differnt erros and warnings when i am booting up from live usb and accessing root
[14:42] <__raven> hi
[14:42] <squinty> topherkris2782,   ha just checked my 15.04 files and the edit > preferences is not hidden in the desktop main panel but rather on the top panel of Files itself
[14:43] <__raven> how to run avrdude with an avrispmkII without root/sudo? editing udev rules did not help in any way. ideas?
[14:44] <JackH> how do I remove wine pipelight, I cant find anything about it
[14:44] <squinty> topherkris2782,  you have to hover your mouse for the options to appear
[14:44] <JackH> and I have wine .exe files running in my system manager on ubuntu
[14:44] <meandrain> Hi.  All this vagurey shit prevents me from being confident enough to act given the failure rate in the past
[14:46] <cfhowlett> ads8f787, no profanity in this channel.  thank you.
[14:46] <cfhowlett> !guidelines
[14:46] <topherkris2782> squinty: i still don't see it, i think there's just something effed.
[14:47] <topherkris2782> squinty: I'm not sure where you want me to hover, but i've tried the global bar .. that's where it used to be, but i only have quit now
[14:49] <teward> This may sound weird, but we have a system where we can't set up nagios or landscape to monitor the systems... is there any program that can achieve monitoring of disk space and then shut off certain cron jobs on a different user after disk space has reached a certain level of consumption?
[14:50] <cfhowlett> teward, does indeed sound off.  ask in #ubuntu-server   channel
[14:50] <squinty> topherkris2782,  if you are running the gnome desktop I too couldn't find Preferences either.  The only visable options were available by clicking on the furthest icon on the right hand side of the path bar in Files.... no preferences listed there either.  On my Unity desktops, Preferences is available by using the methods I described before
[14:50] <teward> cfhowlett: i mean, i'd set up Landscape for monitoring, but for two systems i'm not gonna expend the resources XD
[14:50] <teward> cfhowlett: i'll poke -server thoug
[14:52] <musclez> teward do you know of any more intesive support services that may be able to run diagnostics on my boot drive, initramfs, apt-get, or dpkg
[14:53] <teward> musclez: any computer repair shop with linux techs
[14:54] <teward> musclez: if you are looking for a lot of diagnostics like that, you need more than just 'paid support' you need 'on site technicians'
[14:54] <cfhowlett> musclez, your local LUG for instance
[14:54] <musclez> that or remote but yeah thats what im looking for
[14:54] <musclez> LUG?

[14:57] <chronos_> hi guys, having problems with installing nvidia gtx 850m on ubuntu 12.04 freshly installed, on asus laptop, tried the wiki but after installing the driver still it does not recognize it, X runs with VESA now and the Additional Proprietary Drivers Software search finds no proprietary drivers... HELP?
[14:58] <regedit> sometimes my desktop/display goes bonkers, such as if plugging/unplugging a second HDMI monitor, or other unpolished scenarios. What is the definitive list of commands to restart KDE / restart X / restart plasma etc. ? (i'm running Kubuntu)
[14:58] <bazhang> !loco | musclez
[14:59] <regedit> chronos_: do you have nvidia-* anything installed? sudo apt-cache nvidia<tab><tab>
[15:00] <regedit> er, that's not the right command...

[15:00] <potatoe_> is ActiveMQ still broken?
[15:00] <potatoe_> i install it and start it and nope\.
[15:05] <chronos_> regedit: sorry for the delay, I'm still keeping on searching solutions online, I'll try urs right away and let u know, thanks for answering
[15:06] <chronos_> regedit: waiting for the right command to try...
[15:08] <chronos_> regedit: here's my installed nvidia packages nvidia-common && xserver-xorg-video-nouveau-quantal 1:1.0.2-0ubuntu3-precise2
[15:08] <regedit> chronos_: see if any suggestions come up in command line if you type nvidia<tab>
[15:09] <chronos_> regedit: here's my installed nvidia packages nvidia-common && xserver-xorg-video-nouveau-quantal 1:1.0.2-0ubuntu3-precise2
[15:10] <chronos_> regedit: I anw
[15:10] <regedit> chronos_: you might wanna uninstall any nvidia stuff (not sure though) and make sure your PPAs are set up correctly to find recommended drivers
[15:10] <chronos_> regedit: I anyway downloaded and install via terminal this NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-337.12.run which happens to be the right driver for my card
[15:10] <regedit> chronos_: it might not be advisable to do that
[15:11] <regedit> usually better to stick with the official drivers provided by ubuntu
[15:11] <chronos_> regedit: ok, perfect, which are the PPAs, where do I find them? I know how to add them to the sources but dunno where to find them, the correct ones I mean
[15:11] <potatoe_> so activemq still broken?
[15:11] <regedit> looks like you might have nouveau installed
[15:12] <potatoe_> me?
[15:12] <potatoe_> a new install?
[15:12] <regedit> no chronos_
[15:12] <potatoe_> oh :)
[15:12] <potatoe_> lol
[15:12] <potatoe_> i was like wtf hehe
[15:12] <chronos_> regedit: yes, proceding into apt-get remove --purge nvidia-* then following ur advice into adding the right PPAs, no?
[15:13] <Curson> ;;
[15:16] <regedit> i hope that's a good idea - beware i'm pretty much noobie myself :)
[15:18] <chronos_> regedit: ah.... ok....
[15:19] <regedit> you prolly just wanna double check you have the main PPAs archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ for precise pangolin i guess
[15:19] <squinty> chronos:  just a thought.  make sure you have Propriety drivers for devices (restricted) toggled on in Software and Updates.

[15:54] <MonkeyDust> freddyb_  system settings > details
[15:55] <freddyb_> MonkeyDust: do you know how this works in greater detail (i.e. internally)?
[15:55] <freddyb_> MonkeyDust: I also have multiple firefox profiles, which sometimes interferes with that, it seems
[15:55] <freddyb_> MonkeyDust: e.g. "firefox is already running with that profile. you must close the current instance and start again"
[15:57] <MonkeyDust> freddyb_  yes, what happens when you follow the instructions?
[15:57] <marianne> I connected an iPhone to my system to pull music off of it and now it seems like every folder in the home directory has an folder named .AppleDB and .AppleDesktop in it. Does anyone know what these are and is it safe to remove them? (I'm running 14.04)
[15:58] <freddyb_> MonkeyDust: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
[15:59] <freddyb_> MonkeyDust: I have the Unity/Ubuntu add-ons enabled in Firefox. I thought that may have been the problem, but its not
[16:00] <regedit> drat! graphical desktop is not loading in again... I think it may have to do with auto-login settings I changed, where is the config file for that?
[16:00] <MonkeyDust> freddyb_  I fail to see the problem... can you open firefox?
[16:00] <freddyb_> MonkeyDust: I have Firefox already open. I want the link to appear in a new tab when I click it.

[16:05] <vamsiampolu>   It did not work from the USB installer...how should I resolve this iisue?

[16:07] <vamsiampolu> legacy bios
[16:07] <tr3y> Hello, I'm having trouble with Nautilus and Nemo. I can't find on google how to fix it. I changed the .desktop files to execute these programs with "Exec=gksudo -k -u root APP_COMMAND" and now when they open, there's no top menu (E.G "Edit", "View", etc).
[16:08] <vamsiampolu> amd processor,not loading
[16:09] <lotuspsychje> vamsiampolu: did you try other ubuntu versions?
[16:09] <vamsiampolu> yes,i had same issue with 14.04 lst a few months back
[16:10] <lotuspsychje> vamsiampolu: then perhaps its a bios setting or hardware thing
[16:11] <vamsiampolu> ok,which setting,do not want to crash laptop(been there,done that)
[16:11] <mgolisch> do you actualy select to boot from that disk?
[16:12] <vamsiampolu> hardware is supported,yes i select ubuntu from grub2 menu,i have tried recovery as well
[16:12] <mgolisch> so you get to grub on the external disk?
[16:12] <mgolisch> whats the error then?
[16:12] <regedit> please haalp! graphical desktop is not loading, last time i was changing some auto-login settings, where is the config file for that located?
[16:13] <lotuspsychje> regedit: give us more details? ubuntu version? when did it go wrong?
[16:13] <vamsiampolu> yes,it loads a purple screen,i wait,it hangs up on me
[16:14] <vamsiampolu> the first time it got to loading ramdisk
[16:14] <lotuspsychje> vamsiampolu: can you tell us why dont you just install on your internal laptop hd?
[16:15] <vamsiampolu> because i want a backup,the internal is nearly full and has important data
[16:16] <lotuspsychje> vamsiampolu: backup from a liveusb to your seagate expansion hd
[16:16] <regedit> lotuspsychje: Kubuntu 15.04, started happening after restarting after i made those changes i think
[16:16] <vamsiampolu> what if my internal fails
[16:17] <SchrodingersScat> vamsiampolu: isn't that the reason to have the backups?
[16:17] <vamsiampolu> i use that laptop for work,no pointless discussion,lets focus on the issue,check http://superuser.com/questions/933146/ubuntu-15-04-not-loading-from-external-hard-drive-for-amd
[16:18] <lotuspsychje> vamsiampolu: this isnt pointless, what your trying to do is a reverse method
[16:18] <vamsiampolu> you mentioned bios settings,which setting could it be?
[16:19] <lotuspsychje> vamsiampolu: is your system uefi?
[16:19] <vamsiampolu> no legacy boot as i mentioned earlier,i checked,the installed ubuntu also uses legacy boot
[16:21] <lotuspsychje> vamsiampolu: if you put ubuntu install usb inside, and first boot it you should be able to install on your external hd
[16:22] <vamsiampolu> did that,the os is actually installed,i have partiioned and installed
[16:23] <regedit> lotuspsychje: how else can i help you help me? :) please!
[16:23] <lotuspsychje> vamsiampolu: ok and where is grub located, internal or external?
[16:23] <lotuspsychje> regedit: maybe the #kubuntu guys might be able to help?
[16:23] <lotuspsychje> regedit: you could try recoverymode from grub=> fix broken packages
[16:23] <vamsiampolu> external ofcourse
[16:24] <lotuspsychje> vamsiampolu: ok then after you set bios to boot the external only?
[16:24] <lotuspsychje> vamsiampolu: remove down your internet hd?
[16:24] <ePax> I'm on ubuntu 14.04 and im getting errors on boot ata3: hard resetting link (wich is one cache disk used by win) Is it possible to ignore this litle 16 gb disk at boot?
[16:24] <lotuspsychje> internal*
[16:24] <vamsiampolu> yes,it is first in the boot order
[16:25] <lotuspsychje> vamsiampolu: did you try F1 during purple screen to see if you got stuck on error?
[16:25] <vamsiampolu> yes,f1,ctrl,alt,del,escape...everthing
[16:26] <lotuspsychje> ePax: dualboot?
[16:26] <ePax> lotuspsychje: Nope. It seems that this laptop have some problems now an then just with this disk.
[16:27] <lotuspsychje> vamsiampolu: whats the default Os on that laptop?
[16:27] <vamsiampolu> windows 7 32 bit
[16:27] <lotuspsychje> ePax: uefi settings correctly?
[16:28] <lotuspsychje> vamsiampolu: did you try installing by taking out the internal drive?

Anyone know what's causing this?
[16:29] <lotuspsychje> !uefi | ePax
[16:29] <vamsiampolu> no,dont want to remove internal
[16:29] <lotuspsychje> tr3ee: maybe the #ubuntu-devel guys got more experience with this?
[16:29] <rrk_> india
[16:30] <mgolisch> tr3y: why do you run them as root?
[16:30] <mgolisch> tr3y: any sane reason to do so?
[16:30] <tr3y> lotuspsychje, all right ill ask over there as well
[16:30] <lotuspsychje> TJ-: good evening
[16:30] <tr3y> mgolisch, it was so I could do things like install themes for geany. The folder is only accessible to root
[16:32] <TJ-> lotuspsychje: I hope it's going to be :)

[16:34] <lotuspsychje> lol
[16:36] <chronos_> hi, just installed my nvidia card and the driver nvidia_346 is activated but not in use, any idea?
[16:37] <lotuspsychje> chronos_: what kind of grafix card you have mate?
[16:37] <OerHeks> lspci | grep VGA
[16:37] <TJ-> lotuspsychje: trying to find a way to simulate 4K sized sector devices for testing tooling, but not found a way outside of using a VM, which is not a usable solution for mastering images on such simulated devices
[16:38] <TJ-> chronos_: Did you reboot the PC since installing and activating the driver?
[16:39] <lotuspsychje> TJ-: 4K as in the new tv technology?
[16:39] <chronos_> lotuspsychje, geforce gtx 850m on 12.04
[16:39] <chronos_> TJ-, yes!!!
[16:39] <lotuspsychje> chronos_: is that an optimus card?
[16:39] <TJ-> lotuspsychje: 4096 bytes sectors used for > 2TB 'advanced format' devices
[16:40] <lotuspsychje> TJ-: think that will be over my head, maybe the ##hardware guys know stuff for that?
[16:41] <chronos_> TJ-,  and the first time the screen was black and I had to reboot with a live 12.04 and manually modify xorg.conf into VESA default settings and reboot, it starts and the resolution is waaay too low, software drivers tells me nvidia_346 activated but not in use, and when I checked xorg.conf again, it was generated by nvidia-prime and the one with VESA stuff i made a minute before reboot is gone...... what the h...?
[16:41] <chronos_> lotuspsychje, optimus u say... i dunno, it ain't mine
[16:42] <TJ-> lotuspsychje: It's a kernel thing, I've been working on patching the loop driver to support changing the sector-size, but that has come to a dead-end right now :)
[16:42] <chronos_> TJ-, ok, so what do i do?
[16:42] <TJ-> chronos_: "nvidia-prime" means Optimus aka dual-GPU
[16:42] <polishpoliceforc> how to make files in an external drive that are read only to read and write?
[16:42] <polishpoliceforc> using terminal that is
[16:42] <lotuspsychje> TJ-: maybe someone got a patched kernel for that? what should i look for 'keyword'?
[16:43] <chronos_> TJ-, ahah alright, i dunno
[16:43] <polishpoliceforc> i tried going to properties and checking on write but it's greyed out for me
[16:43] <TJ-> chronos_: I've stayed away from the low/high power GPU stuff; it's a can of worms.
[16:43] <lotuspsychje> !info nvidia-prime | chronos_ install this mate
[16:43] <OerHeks> polishpoliceforc, sounds like ntfs?
[16:44] <TJ-> lotuspsychje: No, I've been doing extensive research on this for over a week now, including my kernel patches. I've been hoping to find another, sneaky, way through some obscure tool that might support it. For example, qemu supports configuring the physical and logical sector-size of its virtual drives, but unfortunately what I'm doing can't make use of a virtual machine
[16:45] <chronos_> TJ-, agreed, still any ideas?
[16:45] <chronos_> lotuspsychje, didn't quite get that... huh?
[16:45] <lotuspsychje> chronos_: if your card is optimus, you need the package nvidia-prime
[16:45] <anonymousNotTell> asd
[16:45] <lotuspsychje> chronos_: check your cards website to make sure
[16:45] <chronos_> lotuspsychje, it is already installed like i told you IT generated the last xorg.conf on its own
[16:46] <chronos_> oi!
[16:46] <lotuspsychje> chronos_: ok, then did you enable nvidia card from nvidia-settings?
[16:46] <lotuspsychje> chronos_: setting to: performance mode?
[16:46] <anonymousNotTell> are there any channels for specific topics
[16:46] <anonymousNotTell> ?
[16:46] <TJ-> chronos_: I'd check the system's specifications and BIOS, to ensure the Linux driver can support the configuration. There are two types of hybrid GPU hardware technologies: multiplexed (MUXed) and non-multiplexed (MUXless). As I recall the nvidia driver *does not* support MUXless. Check in the "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for clues.
[16:46] <lotuspsychje> anonymousNotTell: what topic?
[16:47] <OerHeks> !alis | anonymousNotTell
[16:48] <lotuspsychje> TJ-: can you join #ubuntu-discuss mate?
[16:49] <anonymousNotTell> are there channels to specific topics?
[16:49] <TJ-> chronos_: MUXed GPUs employ a hardware switch that can change the GPU that the video outputs are connected to. To save manufacturing costs some systems are now MUXless and have the video outputs driven constantly by the integrated GPU but the discrete GPU does the rendering and the integrated GPU just handles the output to the video device
[16:49] <anonymousNotTell> if yes how do i connect
[16:49] <anonymousNotTell> ?
[16:49] <bazhang>  /join #channel anonymousNotTell
[16:49] <anonymousNotTell> thanks man
[16:51] <anonymousNotTell> how do i search for channels?
[16:51] <anonymousNotTell> sorry for my ignorance

[16:57] <lotuspsychje> Waldeinsamkeit: please dont use this channel for random text
[16:57] <GlenK> so I'm missing something here...hosts comes first in /etc/host.conf.  and the hosts entry has files first in /etc/nsswitch.conf.  I threw an entry for activedb into /etc/hosts.  but when I try and resolve activedb it fails.  what am I missing?
[16:58] <Waldeinsamkeit> yes sorry.
[16:59] <lotuspsychje> !hostname | GlenK
[16:59] <GlenK> lotuspsychje: I have a hostname already.  I want another hostname to point the local IP as well.
[17:01] <GlenK> ah, but hell.  I can't even look up the regular hostname either.
[17:02] <chronos_> brb
[17:02] <ioria> Glenk   how's the line   ?  i use  ip  fqdm hostname
[17:03] <GlenK> ioria: yep, what I've got
[17:03] <ioria> Glenk  can you ping fqdm ?
[17:04] <GlenK> ioria: yeah, ping works for both my regular hostname and the second one.  host and nslookup dont
[17:05] <ioria> Glenk  did you edit nnswitch ?
[17:05] <ioria> *nsswitch
[17:05] <GlenK> ioria: as I said, /etc/nsswitch.conf already has files as the first thing for the hosts entry
[17:06] <ioria> Glenk  network ,files too  ?
[17:07] <ioria> networks, i mean
[17:07] <GlenK> ioria: yeah, the networks entry says files, that's it.
[17:09] <GlenK> ioria: gah.  whatever.  apache seems to respect it even if host or nslookup doesn't.  guess I'm happy
[17:10] <ioria> Glenk  ok, ^-^
[17:13] <GlenK> now if I could just figure out how to get my eclipse.desktop file to make eclipse show up on my menu...
[17:13] <GlenK> hmm...wonder if it's a permissions issue
[17:16] <manuel4> My /var/log folder is creating 50gb~ files such as "daemon.log", "kern.log", "syslog" and "messages". I already delete them but they re-create, already set logrogate to 100kb and "only readable" without success.

[17:22] <JokesOnYou77> Hi all
[17:22] <Alto1d> Hi, I'm looking at backup solutions for an Ubuntu Server, and my head is swimming a bit. I would like something that makes a CD of a one-time snapshot of a server that can be used to restore the server in the even of the harddrive completely dies. Is Mondo Rescue an appropriate solution or is there another better alternative?
[17:22] <JokesOnYou77> How can I get the name of the user executing a script? (bash)
[17:22] <Abhijit> hi
[17:22] <Abhijit> does pv in dd create issues?
[17:23] <Abhijit> while burning ubuntu 15 iso to usb that is.
[17:24] <JokesOnYou77> Alto1d, It does seem like you are describing dd.  Not that I know anything about your server config, but it may also be prudent to run the server as a VM and snapshot the VM.
[17:25] <Alto1d> JokesOnYou77, that might be so, but it's not really possible right now. I have all the files on a RAID 10 server that's managed by mdadm, with the OS on a seperate harddisk
[17:25] <eraggo> Abhijit: whar do you mean about pv?
[17:25] <Alto1d> I'd just like a solution to restore the server to the present state if the harddrive with Ubuntu dies but the RAID drives continue to function
[17:27] <eraggo> Abhijit: nvm; just googled it. It shouldn't make any difference if you pipe it correctly
[17:27] <Alto1d> JokesOnYou77, dd looks like what i'm looking for JokesOnYou77, thank you
