[00:00] <Shelly2> i'm guessing it is a mixer control mapping setting, but i don't know how to verify
[00:00] <ComviqKali> well i think i'm doing something wrong in modeswitch
[00:00] <robjloranger> mister_m: what do you have?
[00:00] <mister_m> robjloranger: just a basic 14.04 desktop install
[00:00] <ComviqKali> because i specify one product and another one shows up
[00:00] <robjloranger> mister_m: you should have grub then
[00:00] <ComviqKali> i'll bump it up to 0.20 BTC
[00:00] <ComviqKali> if someone can teamview and help me
[00:01] <robjloranger> mister_m: if you ls /etc/default do you see grub listed?
[00:01] <ComviqKali> because i've sat some time with this now, and tried various modeswitch settings but im doing something wrong
[00:01] <holstein> ComviqKali: its not that kind of support here, friend.. this is just volunteer community support.. anyone is welcome to do what they like with and for you.. but, its not remote support like that
[00:01] <ComviqKali> are you saying i am not allowed to ask for "that kind of support" ?
[00:01] <holstein> ComviqKali: if you have not asked the creator of the hardware, try that.. nothing is preventing them from supporting you in linux
[00:02] <holstein> ComviqKali: you can ask what you like. .im saying, you dont get remote support here like that
[00:02] <mister_m> robjloranger: I did after I installed it
[00:02] <ComviqKali> Like I said i wake up far to late for that right now
[00:02] <ComviqKali> its 1 AM and I just woke up
[00:02] <holstein> ComviqKali: sure.. but, ubuntu is *all* open. top to bottom.. nothing is hiding or preventing them from supporting you.. they, ideally, would be the best first place to ask
[00:02] <mister_m> robjloranger: anyway, setting that line to "text" and running update-grub with sudo seems to result in no change
[00:03] <mister_m> am I to select text only from the grub menu?
[00:03] <ComviqKali> holstein: I know this kind of support, most unlikely the support knows linux
[00:03] <ComviqKali> you have to realise it's not like the state
[00:03] <ComviqKali> states*
[00:03] <ComviqKali> chances of them solving it for me is 1:1000000
[00:04] <robjloranger> mister_m: that would work, you could also then set text only as the default boot option
[00:04] <holstein> ComviqKali: sure. but, they *are* the ones with the information to actuallly help you the easiest..
[00:04] <mk20> hey all
[00:04] <ComviqKali> One problem I have is when I run usb_modeswitch - virtualbox sometimes ejects my device and the modeswitch fails
[00:04] <holstein> ComviqKali: youa re virtualized?
[00:04] <ComviqKali> it's like it pulls it out, pulls it back in
[00:04] <ComviqKali> yes
[00:05] <robjloranger> wait what
[00:05] <holstein> ComviqKali: you should try it natively
[00:05] <robjloranger> indeed
[00:05] <holstein> ComviqKali: that can be the issue.. you should be able to test this with a live CD
[00:05] <mk20> Can Ubuntu be used as a decent server..like web server, a file server, or a mail server
[00:05] <Jordan_U> mk20: Yes.
[00:05] <robjloranger> mister_m: how new is your computer?
[00:05] <holstein> mk20: "decent" is a matter of opinion. ubuntu has a server edition and its well supported
[00:05] <mk20> what should i download Jordan_U
[00:05] <holstein> !server
[00:06] <ComviqKali> Can I install ubuntu on a mac?
[00:06] <ComviqKali> like on a mac hardware
[00:06] <robjloranger> yes
[00:06] <holstein> ComviqKali: nothing about ubuntu is preventing that
[00:06] <mk20> awesome ill have a look at it
[00:06] <holstein> !mac
[00:06] <ComviqKali> I don't see tho why one brand of 3G stick could work in virtualbox and not other
[00:07] <Jordan_U> ComviqKali: Why are you trying to configure the dongle in the guest rather than the host OS in the first place?
[00:08] <marjinal1st> I've installed Dalvik Debug Monitor Server from software center (Using 14.04 LTS AMD64). But application crashes. Any idea? Error log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7407599/
[00:09] <ComviqKali> Jordan_U: Because I want two independent internet connections
[00:10] <daftykins> marjinal1st: which Java are you using?
[00:10] <mister_m> robjloranger: I'm installingthe iso into a virtual box instance. It would appear that my grub menu is not being generated with the change to 'text'
[00:10] <marjinal1st> daftykins: oracle java 7, installed with webupd8 installer
[00:11] <daftykins> marjinal1st: ok just checking it wasn't an unofficial java, or open source java
[00:11] <mister_m> robjloranger: I still see quiet splash and not text for instance
[00:11] <daftykins> marjinal1st: those messages almost make ddms out to be an android app though, heh
[00:12] <robjloranger> mister_m: oh, did you edit the file as a superuser?
[00:13] <mister_m> robjloranger: yes
[00:13] <comviqkali_> when i eject device and reconnect it says unable to mount COMVIQ MODEM block device /dev/sr1
[00:13] <comviqkali_> is this normal?
[00:14] <robjloranger> mister_m: could you please pastebin your grub file?
[00:14] <mister_m> robjloranger: sure
[00:14] <robjloranger> thanks
[00:18] <mister_m> robjloranger: http://pastebin.com/z9GAGF7W
[00:19]  * Overboost is away: bbl
[00:21] <robjloranger> mister_m: looks ok, and you updated grub ok? then restarted the virtual machine?
[00:27] <robjloranger> loa: steam is back up
[00:31] <comviqkali_> can someone tell me how i can change my modem from /dev/ttyUSB1 to /dev/ttyUSB2 ?
[00:31] <comviqkali_> i read somewhere this solved my problem but not sure where to change that in wvdial and such
[00:33] <mattwj2002> hi guys
[00:34] <mattwj2002> I would like to help make Ubuntu better.  How can I provide information so my wireless chipset gets better support in the future?
[00:35] <holstein> mattwj2002: you can always try the manufacturer
[00:35] <DiAnne167> hello.  i am on 14.04, and need to install synapse, but it is not in the repo yet.  according to this bug report, the temporary solution is to download the 13.10 package:https://bugs.launchpad.net/synapse-project/+bug/1288839     how do i do that?
[00:36] <mattwj2002> holstein: I thought there was a way to submit your hardware profile in ubuntu?
[00:36] <mattwj2002> maybe they removed that function
[00:36] <holstein> DiAnne167: https://launchpad.net/~synapse-core/+archive/testing
[00:37] <DiAnne167> thanks, holstein
[00:40] <kostkon> mattwj2002, did you search for it in the dash?
[00:40] <mattwj2002> dash?  no I did not I'll take a look
[00:42] <mattwj2002> what is dash is that a new shell?
[00:42] <mattwj2002> :-s
[00:42] <kostkon> mattwj2002, the overlay that appears when you click on the ubuntu logo in the launcher
[00:42] <mattwj2002> oh
[00:43] <basketball> in gimp i am on a text layer but when i select the text tool gimp 2.8 will only allow me to make a new textbox it wont let me edit the text
[00:45] <viper474> basketball: you can edit the text in the layers view
[00:46] <basketball> how
[00:46] <viper474> double-click?
[00:46] <viper474> basketball: CTRL+L to bring up layers
[00:47] <basketball> double click only lets me change layer name
[00:48] <afflicto> So audio devices and uhm "routes" or "channels" have a hw:0:0 thing. How can I get the X:X value for a null-sink I have created? XD
[00:48] <viper474> basketball: eh, just click the text on the image. It should highlight and just type.
[00:48] <basketball> no it starts to draw a new text box
[00:48] <basketball> if it helps it is a psd
[00:49] <viper474> basketball: are you on the same layer as the text?
[00:49] <basketball> yes
[00:49] <viper474> basketball: has this already been saved?
[00:50] <basketball> yes
[00:50] <ovidio_> hola
[00:50] <viper474> basketball: you probably can't edit it now. You'll need to save something in the .xcf format for be able to edit it all later.
[00:50] <viper474> basketball: you can save copies in a different format though.
[00:52] <basketball> viper474,  i saved a copy as xcf
[00:52] <viper474> basketball: open that one and see if you can edit it instead.
[00:53] <basketball> viper474,  nope
[00:54] <nedbat> !ops
[00:54] <nedbat> oops
[00:54] <nedbat> sorry
[00:54] <rww> yes hello
[00:54] <basketball> viper474,  is there a different program i can use
[00:54] <viper474> basketball: on layers does it show a separate text layer? It has a T in it.
[00:54] <nedbat> rww: sorry, my mistake
[00:54] <rww> nedbat: okays :)
[00:55] <basketball> it is as a diffent layer but does not have a t it is its on layer though
[00:56] <basketball> viper474, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[00:56] <viper474> basketball: maybe you merge them into one. It needs to remain a separate text layer to be able to change it. Otherwise it becomes just a graphic.
[00:56] <basketball> one what
[00:56] <viper474> basketball: you must have merged the text layer down into the background layer. Now it's not editable.
[00:56] <holstein> basketball: one flat, un-editable image.. not in layers.. one sigular leel
[00:56] <holstein> level*
[00:57] <tripelb> can open to grab the serial number from a laptop?
[00:57] <basketball> viper474,  all i did was downloaded the psd file and in photoshop at school converted cmky to rgb
[00:57] <tripelb> can UBUNTU 12.04 grab the serial number from a laptop?
[00:58] <holstein> tripelb: depends.. id say, not specifically
[00:58] <holstein> tripelb: any vendor could create a tool to do so, if they wanted to
[00:59] <viper474> basketball: I haven't used Photoshop. I'm not sure what to tell you, but google search seems to imply you can't edit Photoshop text.
[01:00] <basketball> is there a different program i can use
[01:00] <holstein> if i had access to the photoshop session, i would save it as whatever it would take to edit it with open tools..
[01:01] <basketball> holstein,  i dont have access to photoshop
[01:01] <viper474> basketball: The GIMP is the best application for 2d graphics we have, in my opinion.
[01:01] <holstein> you stated you do at school..
[01:01] <tripelb> The mumber has rubbed off amd samsung wants it. . . before they send me a recovery disk for win8. i booted UBUNTU then didnt lnow what to do. Also I did not know how to look at yhe win-dtive's contents - in Unity. It was obvious in gnome
[01:01] <basketball> holstein,  yes but i need to get it done now
[01:02] <holstein> basketball: might not be able to.. they didnt promise you that support.. those files are not open
[01:02] <daftykins> tripelb: yes any Linux booted into a live session can dump the windows 8 key from a laptop which came with it
[01:02] <daftykins> tripelb: simply run "sudo cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM" and the key will be displayed
[01:02] <helprestoring> Hello
[01:03] <daftykins> hi
[01:03] <helprestoring> i just finished copying my /home to my external and copying sources and my selected packages apt-get
[01:03] <helprestoring> did a fresh install of 14.04 i used to have 13.10
[01:03] <helprestoring> i then copyied over sources and my home folder
[01:04] <helprestoring> is this the correct was to backup reinstall and upgrade
[01:04] <daftykins> well, in future i would partition /home separately so you don't have to go to that effort
[01:05] <daftykins> then you'd just have to format and clean install to your / partition and not backup like that
[01:05] <viper474> daftykins: uh oh. don't say "not backup". =P
[01:05] <daftykins> ;)
[01:06] <Anarchic> daftykins, when you clean install with an existing home dir, what happens about file permissions?
[01:06] <django> how do you run python code on ubuntu after its been installed?
[01:06] <viper474> django: python prog.py
[01:06]  * daftykins is a rebel without a cause, he lives on the edge... he doesn't always do things the way people want him to but by Tux, he gets the job done.
[01:06] <tripelb> ji daftykins i dont know how to even see the windows files. the directory window doesnt show "up" outside of the "file syatem" how do I see that? ( the wimdows key and the physical device Serial Number ate different numbers.
[01:06] <helprestoring> no its not working
[01:06]  * viper474 doesn't have anything that valuable to backup anyway.
[01:06] <django> viper474, I need: #!/usr/bin/python3.4
[01:07] <helprestoring> i was on 13.10 and i copyied over sources and my selected packages
[01:07] <django> viper474, how do I know the correct path
[01:07] <rww> !info python3.4
[01:07] <helprestoring> didi a clean install of 14.04
[01:07] <rww> heh, didn't know it was that high already
[01:07] <tripelb> daftykins: i will remember "by Tux" lol
[01:07] <helprestoring> and now im trying to reinstall all my old apps
[01:07] <daftykins> tripelb: the windows 8 license key is embedded in the EFI, the command i mentioned run from a LiveCD/USB will show it.
[01:07] <daftykins> tripelb: ;D
[01:10] <ToT> ok after I rebooted my ubuntu this message appeared on screen. I pressed M now  I can no longer login to my account (password is correct) when I enter password a terminal page appears and disapears very fast
[01:10] <basketball> holstein,  i might be able to get photoshop if i can what do i need to do
[01:10] <ToT> Don't ask me to reinstall ubuntu its not helpfull
[01:11] <tripelb> daftykins: thanks for that tidbit please it wasn't what I can for apps but I will remember it.
[01:11] <ToT> after I rebooted my ubuntu this message appeared on screen. I pressed M now  I can no longer login to my account (password is correct) when I enter password a terminal page appears and disapears very fast
[01:11] <daftykins> tripelb: is there something else you wanted or is getting the windows 8 key it?
[01:12] <mintgreen> daftykins: hi
[01:12] <daftykins> hello
[01:13] <tripelb> I found this Samsung laptop it has you can connection so I bought a cord from RadioShack to connect to a US outlet. the computer work but is password locked. I have no idea how it got into a purse  behind a wood panel in my garden.
[01:13] <ToT> I'm using my live usb to login right now but need help to fix this. after I pressed manual recovery I can't login anymore
[01:13] <tripelb> daftykins: I wanted to extract the serial number of the laptop. I was told its manufacture specific and isn't available
[01:14] <daftykins> tripelb: really 0o what brand did you say again?
[01:15] <tripelb> so I booted UBUNTU And tried to look at the windows partition. I don't know how to see it using Unity. In gNome all of the volumes show in the directory window.
[01:15] <ToT> !/tmp
[01:15] <ToT> !tmp
[01:15] <daftykins> tripelb: assuming all the labels on the underside have worn off, sometimes some information is written inside the setup/BIOS/EFI screen, which you get by pressing something like F2, delete, etc. after powering on
[01:16] <robjloranger> did you check the places tab in your file manager?
[01:16] <tripelb> daftykins: right on. I tried that at first but it was not there.
[01:17] <daftykins> tripelb: you're really just looking for the laptop model #? such as mine is the "Asus U36SD" ?
[01:17] <viper474> tripelb: you try a little: sudo fdisk
[01:17] <misingnoglic1> Full disclosure I know nothing about linux: I just ran my netbook with xubuntu and it's asking me to upgrade to ubuntu 14.04? will that change my OS?
[01:18] <tripelb> robjloranger: places have? I never noticed that. When I get home I'll go look for that. ( but when I get home I will have no internet connectivity because blankety blank virgin is fixing the towers again)
[01:18] <robjloranger> misingnolic1: yes, but not really. just an upgrade to tha latest and greatest
[01:18] <misingnoglic1> robjloranger: But it's having me upgrade to ubuntu when I run xbuntu on this machine
[01:19] <daftykins> misingnoglic1: upgrades aren't without risk, you should have a backup before trying an upgrade
[01:19] <misingnoglic1> That's not my concern, my concern is that the name of the OS I am upgrading to is different from the OS I am currently running
[01:19] <robjloranger> xbuntu is just ubuntu with another desktop environment, i run kubuntu but get notified there is a new version of ubuntu
[01:19] <tripelb> daftykins: the model is NP535U4C
[01:20] <robjloranger> your desktop environment should stay the same
[01:20] <misingnoglic1> ok, thanks
[01:20] <tripelb> viper474: fdisk ah so. i will. it won't show me the files but it will show me stuff I haven't seen yet.
[01:21] <viper474> tripelb: should show you volumes if you need to mount them
[01:21] <tripelb> I need the perfect for me Linux text. That's too complicated and yet not too simple. So I can look back and remind myself of the things I used to know
[01:21] <robjloranger> but as daftykins said, you may want to make a backup of important files in case something goes wrong. unlikely but possible
[01:22] <daftykins> tripelb: ooooh, i've worked on on of those
[01:22] <daftykins> *one
[01:22] <tripelb> viper474:  would you remind me how to mount? ( I do declare, I could do everything in gnome and nothing in unity)
[01:22] <daftykins> tripelb: that's the little samsung with the AMD A6 or A8 or similar
[01:22] <tripelb> daftykins: run and that's quite the gift.
[01:23] <viper474> tripelb: open a shell (terminal) and type: sudo mkdir /media/newdrive
[01:23] <viper474> tripelb: sudo mount /dev/sd*1 /media/newdrive
[01:23] <robjloranger> it doesn't have to be so complicated, it should be available as a volume in your filemanager.
[01:23] <daftykins> tripelb: sooo are you just somehow after fixing windows 8 on this, but samsung won't send a disc?
[01:23] <robjloranger> this screams 1998
[01:24] <viper474> tripelb: there's a bunch of options you could add to that but...I dunno. The sd* depends on the letter that follow based on fdisk output.
[01:24] <tripelb> daftykins: AMD -A8-4555M APU 1.6GHZ CPU VT supported. 6MB RAM BIOS P06RAR
[01:25] <daftykins> ah-har
[01:26] <viper474> robjloranger: sometimes it won't list a drive like it will a usb drive
[01:26] <robjloranger> oh, sorry :) so far I have been lucky with recent distributions
[01:27] <robjloranger> everything just works, it's pretty nice
[01:28] <Guest88791> Hello, after the recent update my Ubuntu toolbar moved from the side to the bottom of the screen - is there any way to move it back to the left?
[01:30] <robjloranger> Guest88791: I don't use unity, but have you tried right-clicking the bar and selecting settings or properties?
[01:31] <Guest88791> Thanks robjloranger, I tried but nothing appears
[01:31] <tripelb> daftykins: Samsung will eventually send a disk if I send them a photo of the label on the back but the man who called me back today did not send me a email he must have gotten the email address wrong and did not call back to follow through. so snafu for now. ... I like to fiddle around was helping to see what I could do it myself. I have never used a Windows 8 machine so it's horribly interesting in a way. ... I just got Windowsphone because
[01:31] <tripelb> daftykins: if they didn't send me a disc would I have to do just erase the hard drive and use Ubuntu?
[01:32] <Psil0Cybin> hey guys i am using ubuntu 12.04.4 and randomly on my laptop when I am using Ubuntu it completely freezes, no response, no keys work nothing at all except a restart..
[01:32] <Psil0Cybin> what can i do to diagnose this error
[01:32] <daftykins> tripelb: oh no
[01:32] <tripelb> viper474: thanks for the mount command.
[01:33] <tripelb> Psil0Cybin: i have a 2002 dell with similar.
[01:34] <daftykins> Psil0Cybin: i'd start with a memtest
[01:34] <Psil0Cybin> tripelb, i was hoping that 14.04 will fix this issue, but :( i just am worried that one day i will be working on a file forget to safe for a few minutes and bam
[01:34] <Psil0Cybin> frozen
[01:34] <Psil0Cybin> hence why i save every few seconds but online form filling is annoying
[01:34] <Psil0Cybin> worrying this will happen
[01:34] <tripelb> daftykins: right. i will do that..
[01:34] <Psil0Cybin> so you think it may be memory?
[01:34] <robjloranger> Guest88791: have you tried logging out and back into your desktop to see if it was a temporary glitch?
[01:35] <daftykins> tripelb: have a look at my private message
[01:35] <daftykins> Psil0Cybin: it's the #1 place to start, very common and easy to test (just takes time)
[01:35] <tripelb>  as soon as I get a 12.04 disk (that isnt amd) tripelb puts that on her list.
[01:35] <Psil0Cybin> daftykins, after a memory test, if the memory is fine what would be my next step just writting it all down
[01:35] <Psil0Cybin> :D
[01:35] <Guest88791> robjloranger: yes I did log out... do you maybe know where I could find info about recent updates? and why did they change it?
[01:36] <daftykins> Psil0Cybin: probably checking the state of your hard disk - for whether it's flaking out. that's one you could do now though actually, prior to memtest
[01:36] <asduf2> Can I change the default SDL video mode?
[01:36] <daftykins> Psil0Cybin: you'll need to run "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda" in a terminal
[01:36] <Psil0Cybin> daftykins, how ca ni go about doing this? Would it damage my hard disk in any way? or is it just a quick test?
[01:36] <Psil0Cybin> daftykins, do you think i can run that test now?
[01:37] <daftykins> sure
[01:37] <robjloranger> Guest88791: http://www.zdnet.com/ubuntu-14-04-lts-trusty-tahr-review-solid-and-stable-but-no-big-changes-7000028437/
[01:37] <daftykins> Psil0Cybin: you may need to install smartmontools to get that program (smartctl)
[01:37] <Psil0Cybin> yea
[01:37] <Psil0Cybin> sudo: smartctl: command not found
[01:37] <robjloranger> Guest88791: i don't think they moved the toolbar
[01:37] <Psil0Cybin> alright one second
[01:39] <lappiesearch> my boss gave me a $1200 budget for a new work computer.  open to suggestions, thinking a thinkpad with intel graphics chipset ?  I want hdmi / vga so I can have tri-monitor setup
[01:39] <Guest88791> robjloranger: I'm using ubuntu 12.04 though, should I start using 14.04?
[01:39] <viper474> lappiesearch: that new mouse though...
[01:39] <Tin_man> I started with mint, and went to 14.04 (happy)
[01:40] <lappiesearch> viper474: new mouse?  I usually use a logitech wireless in conjunction
[01:40] <Tin_man> if not broke don't fix
[01:40] <viper474> lappiesearch: ah, maybe not a problem then
[01:42] <sam___> does anyone know a command to mount the disk drive for /tmp manually from terminal?? I can't login ubuntu 12.04 anymore
[01:43] <daftykins> sam___: /tmp typically isn't on a different disk
[01:43] <mgolisch> sam___: disk full?
[01:44] <sam___> daftykins: I got this error:The Disk Drive for /tmp is not ready yet. S to skip mount or M for manual recovery . I pressed M now I can't login anymore
[01:44] <daftykins> sam___: so 'sudo fdisk -l' to identify which partition on your disk would likely be /tmp, you can type "mount" on its' own to see which are already mounted
[01:44] <sam___> daftykins: when I enter my account info and enter a black terminal page appears and disappears fast
[01:45] <daftykins> sam___: then typically it'd be "sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdx# /tmp"
[01:45] <mgolisch> look at your fstab?
[01:45] <daftykins> assuming EXT4 file system and /dev/sdx# would be e.g. sda3 (but just an example)
[01:45] <daftykins> that'd also be a good call
[01:45] <mgolisch> it should tell what it asume /tmp to be
[01:45] <sam___> the one with ex4 format has tmp in it right??
[01:45] <daftykins> can tell it's late my time.
[01:47] <basketball> viper474,   i might be able to get photoshop if i can what do i need to do

[01:49] <daftykins> !info libvdpau1
[01:49] <daftykins> yip.

[01:55] <jetmak> hi
[01:59] <mintgreen> Jettis: hi!
[01:59] <assef> hi
[02:00] <Psil0Cybin> sorry guys on a completely unrelated question: how can i stop multicast address from my router from spamming my UFW logs how can i write a work around so i do not have to deal with these constant error messages (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2222335)
[02:00] <Psil0Cybin> also why is this happening?
[02:02] <guest98765> Bashing-om: viper474     you both here?
[02:02] <viper474> guest98765: yup, I am
[02:03] <guest98765> viper474: new idea... Can I run calibre from the command line without a desktop.. ie xfce?
[02:04] <tripelb> Psil0Cybin: i wish i could just "reinstall ubuntu" and rewrite all the system files. i have been licky cause all previous ubintus (starting in '06) just worked.
[02:04] <Psil0Cybin> haha sorry just a tad bit confused, but why is UFW logging all those packets coming from my router, is that normal? should I leave it as is?
[02:04] <Psil0Cybin> I am just trying to learn how to use UFW properly.
[02:04] <guest98765> viper474:  i think midnight commander will run from terminal.
[02:05] <guest98765> viper474:  that can be my file manager to move files around.
[02:05] <tripelb> thanks for all the good conversation. for a while #ubuntu seemed like'meam streets' but now like old times.
[02:05] <viper474> guest98765: I haven't used Calibre. =/
[02:06] <Tin_man> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpEOmZTYA4A
[02:07] <guest98765> viper474:  so calibre might need something other than xorg?
[02:08] <viper474> guest98765: looks like there might be a command line interface
[02:08] <viper474> guest98765: what were you going to use calibre to do?
[02:08] <guest98765> viper474:  then all I need to do is install calibre and see what happens.
[02:09] <viper474> guest98765: sudo apt-get install calibre
[02:10] <guest98765> viper474:  use calibre to change e-book formats to epub. remember from last night I have an 80 gig drive in this computer...
[02:11] <viper474> guest98765: http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/cli/ebook-convert.html there's a command to just convert files
[02:12] <guest98765> viper474: last night after I logged off  I ran one last command >>>  audo apt-get check >>  it came back with no errors ...
[02:15] <Speiros> I'm trying to gain control of dnsmasq on my computer.  Can someone help me please?
[02:16] <viper474> guest98765: you can try to run calibre with xorg and see if it works. If so, that will most likely be easier.
[02:17] <viper474> guest98765: and if you wanted to try to install iceweasel as a web browser, that might be easier than elinks if it works with just xorg
[02:20] <kingmofo> hello
[02:20] <wolfspy> yo yo yo
[02:20] <guest98765> viper474:  I thought about this all day... xfce would be nice... But if I can use this computer to do what I want from CL that will be fine... Yes iceweasel good Idea... But I do not need to browse with this machine... I think I might have enough with what is loaded... afterall if calibre does not work Linux should give me an error message as to what I need to install to make it work.
[02:21] <viper474> guest98765: ah, ok. Just going to create a library machine, sounds like. That's cool.
[02:21] <kingmofo> are you using xchat or what?
[02:21] <Speiros> I want to learn the linux system from inside out, like from baby stages (where I'm at now) until I'm a master at one or two (at least) fields.  How can I do this?
[02:21] <viper474> kingmofo: ye.
[02:22] <kingmofo> I would start of by learnign the basics in Terminal
[02:22] <kester__> hey
[02:22] <guest98765> viper474:  and midnight commander to help with moving files..
[02:22] <kingmofo> hi
[02:22] <kingmofo> *learning
[02:22] <kester__> what are you all up to
[02:22] <guest98765> viper474: I think I will go with that and Purge xfce4
[02:23] <kester__> talking about learning, any of you familiar with sed?
[02:23] <Speiros> Hi kingmofo.  Is there a documentation area (like for instance for html, there is w3schools) that can teach me step-by-step?
[02:23] <viper474> guest98765: lxde might be an option. Not sure why xfce didn't work
[02:23] <nicnm> hardly but I do know its super nice
[02:23] <kingmofo> yeah learn from codeacademy
[02:23] <kingmofo> at http://www.codeacademy.com
[02:24] <jmadero> anyone around who know why I'm seeing a different language for certain things (GDM, synaptic, etc . . . )
[02:24] <Speiros> Thanks kingmofo.
[02:24] <kester__> i'm writing a script and i need to replace about 5,6 lines of consecutive text
[02:24] <Speiros> I'll look into it.
[02:24] <jmadero> I have two languages installed, English shows up for 99% of things
[02:24] <jmadero> but Telugu shows up for limited things
[02:24] <kester__> what's the best way?
[02:24] <kingmofo> your welcome Speiros
[02:24] <nicnm> pdfs can be easer cause you don't need a connection after you get them, imho
[02:25] <guest98765> viper474: lxde is also a choice... again thanks for all your help last night.
[02:25] <guest98765> Bashing-om: again thanks for all your help last night.
[02:25] <kingmofo> I'm new ro irc tho so does anyone know the the command to quit
[02:25] <viper474> guest98765: no problem. I didn't wake up feeling as tired as I thought I might.
[02:25] <Speiros> Goodnight people.  Best wishes, and chat again soon.
[02:26] <viper474> kingmofo: /quit
[02:26] <kingmofo> goodnight
[02:26] <kingmofo> okay thanks viper474
[02:26] <guest98765> viper474:  i went till midnight last night... took a nap today...
[02:27] <nicnm> kester__ you could look into the info/man pages for additional details but sed should do what you want, tho you need to be very specific  from my understanding of it
[02:28] <nicnm> n i don't have much understanding other than 's/string/replace/g' for Search Global
[02:28] <kester__> nicnm that's as much as i know too
[02:28] <kester__> i know i can keep pulling the file multiple times and working through line by line but that isn't efficient
[02:29] <Bashing-om> Guest31033: I just got back on, playing catch up once more, Hey , my little bit to help -> we are all in this together.
[02:29] <kingmofo_> hello im back
[02:30] <viper474> Bashing-om: I think he lefted-ed.
[02:31] <phuh> how do you properly create a backup of a Ubuntu server? /var/log and /etc? anything else?
[02:31] <viper474> phuh: the important stuff is in /home
[02:31] <phuh> true
[02:31] <Bashing-om> viper474: Yeah, so I noticed - after I seen the '31033" - cat in lap - demanding cat ! - makes for some difficulties paying attention . Thanks !
[02:31] <viper474> phuh: oops, didn't read server though...
[02:32] <phuh> anything else that's sitting in the system?
[02:32] <nicnm> https://thepiratebay.se/torrent/8451939/Shell_Scripting_%5BeBook%5D is a free pdf on scripting by The Shuttleworth Foundation
[02:32] <nicnm> written by Hamish Whittal
[02:32] <viper474> phuh: might want to check with ubuntu server channel
[02:32] <phuh> oh?
[02:32] <phuh> where is it?
[02:32] <SonikkuAmerica> nicnm: Did you just really mention the Pirate Bay?
[02:32] <SonikkuAmerica> !piracy
[02:33] <nicnm> its actually legal
[02:33] <viper474> !ubuntu-server
[02:33] <SonikkuAmerica> nicnm: Perhaps you could give us a more reputable link...?
[02:33] <Artemis3> yarr!
[02:33] <Artemis3> a torrent for a little pdf sounds overkill tho
[02:34] <phuh> thanks viper474
[02:34] <nicnm> true..humm...
[02:35] <viper474> night all
[02:35] <SonikkuAmerica> nicnm: http://www.learnlinux.org.za/courses/build/shell-scripting/shell-scripting.pdf ?
[02:36] <nicnm> well it is the same pdf
[02:36] <nicnm> that works, thanks
[02:43] <kingsgap> hello
[02:43] <ferret_commander> hello
[02:52] <kingsgap> hey
[02:54] <kingsgap> back
[02:54] <kingsgap> koding.com is the best web idle
[02:54] <kingsgap> ide
[03:07] <Spr1ng> Is there a way to search for and delete only empty directories under a specific path?
[03:13] <nicnm> http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/03/find-empty-directories-and-files/ gives a bunch of options for that
[03:15] <nicnm> I have read of a story where a programmer was writing a program for just that, n when a Linux "pro" found of it he used a command like that
[03:16] <nicnm> fyi I'm using pro do denote someone with more skill than me :D
[03:20] <kingsgap> hi
[03:20] <nicnm> could someone explain to me the expr arg1 | arg2 & the expr arg1 & arg2 uses?
[03:22] <Stanley00> nicnm: well, it's just simple way of saying if and else
[03:22] <Stanley00> nicnm: wait. misread.
[03:22] <nicnm> i'm having a tough time understanding what the uses of them could b
[03:23] <nicnm> thx
[03:24] <Stanley00> nicnm: hmm, arg1 | arg2 looks missing some context to me, can you post full command ?
[03:25] <loa> nicnm, man expr
[03:26] <nicnm> I'm looking @ the man and am just having a difficult time figuring out what the uses would be
[03:27] <loa> nickhs, i don't think so, there is very clear explanation.
[03:27] <nicnm> expr arg1 | arg2 seems to be a way of using the exit status of a script
[03:28] <nicnm> arg1 | arg2 , return arg1 if it is neither null or 0, otherwise return arg2 ,simualr for arg1 & arg2 ,only return 0
[03:29] <nicnm> would I be partly correct is that use of it?(exit status of script that is)
[03:30] <sam__> my tmp drive doesnt mount automatically can somone tell me a command toload it?
[03:31] <loa> nickhs, expr is just math and logic operations, what is going on with result is another question.
[03:32] <sawsuh_> hey guys
[03:32] <sawsuh_> does anyone know of any wizardpen alternatives?
[03:32] <sam__> please answer i dont have time to reinstall ubuntu
[03:33] <loa> nicnm, you are talking about this article? http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/03/find-empty-directories-and-files/
[03:33] <loa> sam__, what mean "tmp drive"
[03:34] <nicnm> no that was for someone else, I am just having a hard time understanding  expr's uses, other than the blatant math operations
[03:41] <Zungo> Hi, How do i disable the annoying "System program problem detected"?
[03:47] <excalibr> Anyone on 14.04, is your grub boot screen showing fine?
[03:47] <Bashing-om> Zungo: Fix the problem. Generally starting with what the package manager advises.
[03:48] <Beldar> excalibr, Your issue is the key one for help.
[03:48] <Zungo> Bashing-om: How? it doesnt give information.
[03:49] <Bashing-om> Zungo: What returns from terminal commands -> sudo apt-get update , sudo apt-get upgrade <-. Good place to ask of the system.
[03:49] <excalibr> Beldar, hmm?
[03:50] <Zungo> Bashing-om: Packages are fine.
[03:50] <Beldar> excalibr, Your question is not answerable in any usable way, this is support, describe your problem. ;)
[03:50] <Bashing-om> Zungo: OK, then what application is having a difficulty ?
[03:51] <Zungo> its not an application, the thing pops up almost every time i log on
[03:53] <Zungo> and i currently have graphical glitches with unity, and if the screen turns off when it returns i dont have mouse control anymore and on xfce if i lock the screen the mouse stops working and the screen glitches
[03:53] <Zungo> an x restart solves the issue
[03:54] <excalibr> Beldar, do you get issue with grub screen showing black bg with purple fg screen when booting up?
[03:54] <Zungo> Why almost everything depends on plymouth!?
[03:54] <Zungo> Bashing-om: ...
[03:54] <Beldar> excalibr, I have the gnome shell, so a different splash after grub.
[03:54] <Bashing-om> Zungo: Umphp !, now that might be tough to isolate. Might take a look at the log file /var/log/dmesg for some hints. Else real tough to get the boot messages real time.
[03:55] <nicnm> yo
[03:55] <excalibr> Beldar, I'm not talking about the splash screen
[03:55] <excalibr> but the grub screen that showing for a brief second before that
[03:56] <Beldar> excalibr, I have a custom background in grub.
[03:56] <Bashing-om> Zungo: A thought, splash screen ya think ? .. maybe boot to terminal and start the desktop from there (??).
[03:56] <Beldar> excalibr, So this shows in a short shot between the bios and grub gui?
[03:57] <Zungo> ...
[03:57] <Zungo> lol
[03:58] <Bashing-om> Zungo: see then if the Desktop misbehaves ?
[03:58] <Zungo> What? ummm
[03:58] <Zungo> i have a acer aspire one 722 bz454 netbook
[03:58] <letstrythis> is there a "thread order cache" in linux/ubuntu?
[03:59] <excalibr> Beldar, i did some digging and looks like there's a bug report about it on launchpad
[03:59] <excalibr> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1289809
[03:59] <Bashing-om> Zungo: If one starts the desktop from terminal, might get the errors the system then generates.
[03:59] <mattkruse> join opencog
[03:59] <Zungo> Bashing-om: Yeah sure, im not really a newbie... :/
[03:59] <Zungo> all i want is fix my problems
[03:59] <Zungo> and/or disable the annoying abrt
[04:00] <Zungo> aka the reporter
[04:00] <Ben64> then disable it
[04:00] <Zungo> Ben64: How
[04:00] <mattkruse> figure it out
[04:00] <Zungo> lol
[04:00] <Ben64> mattkruse: not helpful
[04:00] <Zungo> lol
[04:00] <Ben64> Zungo: its the first link i get on google for "disable apport"
[04:00] <Beldar> excalibr, Cool, if you think that's it than you have more to work with here, not in my area of limited knowledge is all.
[04:01] <Zungo> xD
[04:01] <Zungo> Ben64: Can you verify in duckduckgo? because google and bing have filter bubble btw
[04:02] <Zungo> im purging apport
[04:02] <Ben64> Zungo: thats probably not the right way
[04:02] <Ben64> http://askubuntu.com/questions/93457/how-do-i-enable-or-disable-apport
[04:02] <Zungo> im fine.
[04:04] <hmagoo> I like compton, just wish everyone would stop recommending the -b switch, doesn't work for me, radeon ubuntu driver I guess..
[04:05] <Zungo> i also do no have a privacy setting option
[04:07] <Zungo> its okay if the input gets disabled on shutdown?
[04:11] <Zungo> How should iconfigure plymouth to display boot process instead of graphics? its known to cause certain issues with my machin
[04:15] <Zungo> help, im missing settings in system settings, like privacy and such
[04:21] <srock> Zungo thats to give hackers easy access to your files
[04:22] <srock> what email are they useing to get copies of your files
[04:28] <critter> Hi Im using last ubuntu release, livecd, how can I check/fix ntfs partition?
[04:28] <jeffrey3234> Just installed a fresh copy of 14.04 server, installed xubuntu-desktop, tried apt-get update, getting this error: GPG error: http://au.archive.ubuntu.com trusty-updates Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5
[04:29] <jeffrey3234> is this a known bug with 14.04?

[04:43] <jeffrey3234> john38 try run: which totem
[04:44] <sourcesupgrade> hello everyone
[04:44] <sourcesupgrade> i have backed up my sources.list from my 13.10 install
[04:44] <john38> jeffrey3234, what and where do i type that in terminal??
[04:44] <sourcesupgrade> i am now on 14.04
[04:44] <sourcesupgrade> i want to import the thar version of the saucy PPAs ans sources
[04:44] <sourcesupgrade> is there a way to do this
[04:44] <jeffrey3234> john38 yes type that into a terminal
[04:45] <sourcesupgrade> anyone know a script to replace saucy with thar in my sources.list files
[04:46] <rww> for starters it would be trusty, not tahr
[04:46] <sourcesupgrade> ah thank you
[04:46] <john38> jeffrey3234, yeah its in usr/bin/totem..but when i click on the totem its not executable like others strange??
[04:46] <jeffrey3234> sourcesupgrade fav text editor, find and replace
[04:46] <sourcesupgrade> that wont break it
[04:46] <sourcesupgrade> and will it support my ppas
[04:47] <john38> jeffrey3234, sorry thank it works
[04:48] <rww> sourcesupgrade: depends on whether the PPA supports trusty
[04:48] <Beldar> sourcesupgrade, You have to check each ppa to see if they have a trusty release
[04:49] <Beldar> sourcesupgrade, You can save an installed list as well.
[04:54] <Blackfish> hi there

[04:57] <sourcesupgrade> just i need to convert the several files into trusty format
[04:58] <Blackfish> wow ..is this kind of a help group ?
[04:59] <dw1> this is THE offical ubuntu help channel on freenode !

[05:00] <Blackfish> and my english is so poor
[05:00] <Wug> we're not all here paying attention at any given point, as a matter of fact most of us aren't, but if you ask questions those of us who see the questions and have pertinent knowledge will do our best to answer them
[05:00] <Wug> it doesn't seem so bad. better than a machine translation
[05:01] <kumarat9pm> is there any command equivalent to yum info packagename in ubuntu?
[05:01] <Blackfish> well .. my friend brought this me to install skype
[05:01] <Blackfish> i installed it however
[05:01] <dw1> kumarat9pm: sudo apt-cache search <string> ?
[05:02] <jeffrey3234> kumarat9pm aptitude show package_name ?
[05:02] <Beldar> Blackfish, This is support, there are ubuntu channels in many cultural/language settings, probably one for your native lang.
[05:02] <kumarat9pm> dw1: that is not what I am looking at..
[05:02] <dw1> jeff's is better

[05:44] <mk12> hey everyone
[05:44] <mk12> need help..just installed ubuntu server..iam stuck at the login screen..
[05:45] <mk12> iam pretty sure ive done the password correct ..
[05:45] <mk12> its got ubuntu login:
[05:45] <mk12> and i cannot log into the operating system
[05:47] <mk12> anyone here
[05:48] <mgolisch> mk12: you login using the user and password you created?
[05:49] <mk12> yes i did that
[05:49] <TJ-> mk12: Did the password contain any 'special' characters? Is the language or keyboard setting non-English?
[05:49] <mk12> english only.. no uppercase no special characters..
[05:50] <mk12>  english layout..
[05:50] <mgolisch> also usernames are casesensitive
[05:50] <mk12> english(us)
[05:50] <TJ-> mk12: which release of Ubuntu? 14.04 ? I recall a similar issue with server installs in the dim-distant past
[05:50] <mk12> yes the new one the server one
[05:51] <mk12> i mean i can try it now..again..
[05:51] <mgolisch> try what again?
[05:51] <mk12> install it again but this is the second time ive done it
[05:51] <TJ-> Is the installation on bare metal, or in a virtual machine? If a VM, which hypervisor?
[05:51] <mk12> can i do anyting on the loging screen any special command
[05:51] <mgolisch> choose the recovery option in the bootloader
[05:52] <mgolisch> it will allow you to drop to a root console on which you can reset your password
[05:53] <shipwreck> #chopts
[05:54] <rww> ubottu: password | mk12
[05:54] <hmagoo> mk12, believe that happened to me when I used the back button during install...

[06:00] <Abhishek_> hi, I'm using 14.04 and when I'm browsing my files in nautilus (Files), when I'm using the list view, I can't "draw to select" files, like I can when I am in the grid view.
[06:01] <hucasys> hi all, anybody know about android internet pass-through on 13.10 ?
[06:02] <dw1> Abhishek_: thats normal
[06:02] <nd> y ubuntu dont give restrictd extras to play mp3 ets
[06:02] <rww> nd: because you didn't click the relevant box during install?
[06:03] <rww> !info ubuntu-restricted-extras
[06:03] <Abhishek_> dw1: okay, is there a way to get that behaviour?
[06:03] <dw1> Abhishek_: dont know bout that
[06:04] <dw1> Abhishek_: is holding shift and clicking multiple not good enough
[06:04] <nd> i dont wanna download all ristricted extras give me name of those so i can play mp3 and mp4 vedios in default programs
[06:04] <Abhishek_> nd: you could use VLC
[06:04] <dw1> Abhishek_: click 1, shift+click another = select all in between
[06:05] <Abhishek_> Yes, it works for me. I just wanted to know if that's something normal or unusual
[06:05] <nd> abishek get it bt thats not my answer i have vlc
[06:07] <nd> abhishek i want to know about those packages yes i know i can use vlc i can use audocius wtevr
[06:07] <yellowfish> hey
[06:07] <yellowfish> anyone know why I can't connect to mysql afte ri install it on ubuntu?
[06:07] <dw1> nd: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[06:07] <yellowfish> I just installed mysql on ubuntu, but my PHP can't connect to the root account
[06:07] <mgolisch> yellowfish: what does it say?
[06:08] <nd> dw1 give me name of those to i wanna install wrtie here on terminal
[06:08] <yellowfish> 'Unable to select database'
[06:08] <mgolisch> yellowfish: you can connect on console using mysql command?
[06:08] <dw1> yellowfish: then it conncts just need a database
[06:08] <TJ-> nd: You can deduce the minimal set using "apt-cache depends ubuntu-restricted-extras" ... I'd guess following the depends of "ubuntu-restricted-addons" which lists several gstreamer (media) packages
[06:08] <dw1> yellowfish: so install phpmyadmin or use mysql -u root from terminal and do create database xxx
[06:09] <lily_> hey there anyone can help me out?
[06:09] <yellowfish> I did
[06:09] <yellowfish> the database is called sendy
[06:09] <yellowfish> I did "SHOW DATABASES;"
[06:09] <yellowfish> and it clearly shows "sendy" as one of the databases
[06:09] <yellowfish> do I need to "assign" that database to my username?
[06:09] <dw1> yellowfish: not if youre root
[06:10] <yellowfish> I'm root
[06:10] <yellowfish> +--------------------+
[06:10] <yellowfish> | Database           |

[06:10] <unopaste> yellowfish you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted
[06:10] <lily_> i have just install ubuntu 12.04 on my lappy and want to run tcl query
[06:10] <dw1> yellowfish: ##php and/or #mysql :)
[06:10] <lily_> but it is showing an error
[06:10] <nd> TJ THANX
[06:11] <lily_> anyone's there?
[06:11] <mgolisch> lily_: whats the error?
[06:11] <dw1> lily_: jus post error someone -might- know
[06:11] <brahmana> Hi all, The file /etc/environment includes /usr/local/bin in the PATH but when I echo it on my bash shell prompt it is not there.
[06:12] <brahmana> I do not see PATH being used in /etc/profile or /etc/bash.bashrc or ~/.bashrc
[06:12] <TJ-> yellowfish: Have you added access permissions for 'root'@'localhost' or where-ever the PHP script is connecting from?
[06:12] <brahmana> What could have removed that directory from PATH?
[06:12] <yellowfish> no TJ-
[06:12] <brahmana> And is there a way to make sure /usr/local/bin is always available in the PATH (system wide)
[06:12] <brahmana> ?
[06:12] <dw1> brahmana: ~/.profile maybe
[06:12] <TJ-> yellowfish: That'll be it then, you need to GRANT access privileges on a per-user, per-host basis
[06:13] <nd> how to connect andriod to ubuntu (linux) like windows i mean we can asses both sd card and phone memory and file system too
[06:13] <dw1> brahmana: /etc/profile /etc/profile.d
[06:13] <brahmana> dw1: ~/.profile does refer to PATH but it just adds one more directory
[06:14] <lily_> error is: can't read "ns_o3": no such variable while executing "set ns[new simulator]" (file "n.tcl" line 2)
[06:14] <TJ-> brahmana: Maybe ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile is re-setting the path? Try "grep 'PATH=' ~/.[^.]* 2>/dev/null"
[06:14] <mgolisch> lily_: hm whats that script your running? maybe ask its author?
[06:15] <dw1> nd: google might be better for that
[06:15] <lily_> tcl
[06:15] <yellowfish> TJ-, how do I do that?
[06:15] <yellowfish> I thought root had all the cool priviledges?
[06:15] <dw1> nd: my phone is old and not smart :p
[06:15] <dw1> yellowfish: it should imo
[06:16] <TJ-> yellowfish: only if you're connecting via the console. For TCP socket connections there needs to be a privilege
[06:16] <dw1> yellowfish: check your code ...... ##php
[06:16] <nd> dw1 :p all i want is to connect ma phone like it is conected in windows
[06:17] <TJ-> yellowfish: See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/grant.html
[06:17] <nodedfree> yes i have question
[06:17] <mgolisch> nd: easiest is to set you phone to usb block storage mode if it supprots that
[06:17] <dw1> nd: i would know already if i googled it for you but you can do that
[06:17] <nodedfree> how can i use my vps as a proxy server for myself?
[06:17] <dw1> nd: google: ubuntu android mount files or something
[06:17] <ikonia> nodedfree: setup a proxyserver, such as squid
[06:17] <ikonia> nd: do you want to shared data between your phone / ubuntu apps, or mount the phone as a disk
[06:17] <nodedfree> ikonia,  to easy to use?
[06:17] <brahmana> TJ-: bingo that grep found it. .bash_profile was messing it up
[06:17] <ikonia> nodedfree: pretty straightforward.
[06:18] <brahmana> TJ-: and dw1 thank you
[06:18] <nodedfree> thx
[06:18] <mgolisch> easiest ist ssh dynamic portforward, it creates a socks proxy you can connect to
[06:18] <Kartagis> ikonia: hi, do you remember my issue from the other day?
[06:18] <ikonia> Kartagis: not really no,
[06:19] <Kartagis> ikonia: my videos play in slow motion and I was trying to insert the kernel driver i915
[06:19] <yellowfish> TJ-, I alreayd did this:
[06:19] <yellowfish> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'root'@'localhost';
[06:19] <ikonia> Kartagis: vivid memory of it
[06:19] <yellowfish> it should have all priviledges
[06:19] <ikonia> yellowfish: flush privileges
[06:20] <yellowfish> it says 0 rows affected anyways
[06:20] <nd> mgolisch ive xperia  ikonia i want to mount i guess
[06:20] <Kartagis> ikonia: the last thing was you asked its chip and model
[06:20] <ikonia> yellowfish: perfect, that's what it should say
[06:20] <TJ-> nodedfree: If you want to proxy all traffic, you may want to configure a VPN from your PC to the VPS, and have the VPS do IP forwarding and masquerading. That makes *all* your traffic look to originate from the VPS
[06:20] <ikonia> nd: unlikley to happen easy
[06:20] <ikonia> Kartagis: as I said, vivid memory of it
[06:20] <nodedfree> TJ-, squid will do the work as well?
[06:20] <dw1> nd: http://google.com/search?q=ubuntu+mount+android
[06:21] <TJ-> yellowfish: I've been caught out by that before; Sometimes the PHP process is not bound to localhost, and is trying to connect from another IP on the host, such as it's LAN or WLAN IP
[06:21] <ikonia> nd: a lot of phones use mpd to present the phone as a disk, which just doesn't have good support
[06:21] <yellowfish> I don't think it is. I just started a new DigitalOcean droplet
[06:21] <yellowfish> with a fresh mysql installation
[06:21] <TJ-> nodedfree: If you only want to proxy HTTP (port 80) and nothing else
[06:21] <yellowfish> and lamp
[06:22] <TJ-> yellowfish: check the mysql log files, it'll tell you why the connection is denied
[06:22] <nodedfree> TJ-, i want all traffic as you said.. so i need to connect via vpn?
[06:22] <Kartagis> ikonia: do you mind looking at a askubuntu post? my issue is there
[06:22] <Kartagis> ikonia: http://askubuntu.com/questions/460485/use-kernel-driver-for-intel-graphics
[06:22] <TJ-> nodedfree: Yes. Something like OpenVPN is easiest to configure.
[06:22] <ikonia> Kartagis: not got time / interest at the moment, sorry, doing other things
[06:22] <mgolisch> nd: maybe airdroid is an option, thats how i uplaod stuff to my phone
[06:22] <ikonia> Kartagis: plu - I don't support askubuntu, ask ubuntu supports askubuntu, I deal with irc
[06:22] <nodedfree> TJ-, thanks.
[06:23] <Kartagis> ikonia: I've been waiting for you for days man :(
[06:23] <ikonia> Kartagis: waiting for me??
[06:23] <Kartagis> yea
[06:23] <ikonia> why ?
[06:23] <TJ-> nodedfree: OpenVPN has the advantage that you can use it as a system service on your PC, or have it initiated from Network Manager and the GUI NM applet
[06:23] <ikonia> there are 1600+ people in this channel
[06:24] <nd> mgolisch u mean air driod can share data inside phone memory too?
[06:24] <Kartagis> yea, but I've been asking about this for 2 weeks now and you're the one showed interest
[06:26] <ikonia> Kartagis: I'm sure someone will help you, as I recall I asked you why you thought it wasn't using the right module
[06:26] <TJ-> Kartagis: Show us the output of "lspci -nn | grep Graphics"
[06:26] <ikonia> there you go, someone else has interest, thanks TJ-
[06:26] <filterBOT> is ubuntu unity the most buggy desk env ?
[06:27] <Slumlord_> run
[06:27] <Slumlord_> lol
[06:27] <Kartagis> thanks TJ-
[06:28] <mgolisch> Kartagis:  did you install i965-va-driver
[06:28] <Kartagis> Display controller [0380]: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
[06:28] <mgolisch> i remember i ahd to do that on my i3 htpc
[06:28] <mgolisch> it wouldnt use hardware accelerated video decoding without that
[06:28] <Kartagis> TJ-: Display controller [0380]: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
[06:28] <Kartagis> mgolisch: insmod?
[06:28] <ikonia> do not randoml insmod things blindly
[06:28] <Kartagis> mgolisch: or apt-get?
[06:28] <TJ-> Kartagis: That isn't the output I asked for ... I want "lspci -nn ..."
[06:29] <mgolisch> Kartagis: but maybe that doesnt apply to that specific intel chip you have
[06:31] <mgolisch> Kartagis: does vainfo return any errors?
[06:31] <nd> i need some simple steps to mount my android just like it mount on windows ..m not a windows lover
[06:31] <TJ-> mgolisch: That might be applicable if the kernel driver had loaded. It seems the issue is that on the installed system the kernel driver doesn't load
[06:31] <ikonia> nd: youd probably going to struggle with that due to mpd
[06:32] <dyu> what does a t at the end of ls -l mean? drwxrwxrwt  38 root root  4096 May  7 08:24 tmp
[06:32] <nd> ikonia mpd?
[06:33] <ikonia> nd: have a quick search, but it's basically what's used by android now to present the phone as storage
[06:33] <hucasys> hi all, anybody know about android internet pass-through on 13.10 ?
[06:33] <TJ-> dyu: see the 5th paragraph of "man chmod"
[06:33] <hucasys> sorry to intrude
[06:33] <ikonia> hucasys: whats android internet pass through ?
[06:33] <nd> k ikonia :}
[06:33] <dyu> TJ-: found it. thanks!
[06:34] <hucasys> reverse tethering
[06:34] <nd> ill use dillo ubuntu users use dillo broweser :p
[06:34] <ikonia> hucasys: do you mean you want to proxy your android connection out of your ubuntu machine ?
[06:35] <hucasys> um....I want to connect phone to www through pc's connection
[06:36] <hucasys> ikonia: um....I want to connect phone to www through pc's connection
[06:36] <Kartagis> TJ-: sorry for delay, it's at http://paste.ubuntu.com/7408744/
[06:36] <ikonia> hucasys: I'm certainly not aware of any app that does it directly, but you could use tools such as iptables to forward the interface on your android phone to the external interface on your PC
[06:36] <sasuke> hi can anyone help to to install puppet-2.7 in ubuntu
[06:36] <ikonia> sasuke: what's the problem ?
[06:36] <hucasys> ikonia: the most newbie method would be great have  searched around but....
[06:37] <ikonia> hucasys: as I said, I'm not aware of a simple app that does it
[06:37] <ikonia> it maybe worth having a read of this
[06:37] <ikonia> !ics | hucasys
[06:37] <sasuke> i need to install puppet2.7 version..
[06:37] <hucasys> right, ok, thnx
[06:37] <ikonia> sasuke: ok, what's stopping you
[06:38] <sasuke> when i'm using normal "sudo apt-get puppet" its installing 3.2 version
[06:38] <TJ-> Kartagis: OK, the following command confirms that the i915 driver *should* be loaded... "modinfo i915 | egrep '^alias:.*8086.*2A4[23]' "
[06:39] <ikonia> sasuke: right as that's the supported version for your current ubuntu release.
[06:39] <TJ-> Kartagis: So now, you need to check whether it has been disabled/blacklisted from auto-loading: "grep i915 /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf"
[06:39] <sasuke> sorry 3.4 version is installing.. but my puppet-master version is 2.7. So i want to install 2.7 version in clients also
[06:39] <ikonia> sasuke: is this on a corperate network ?
[06:39] <ikonia> sasuke: or home ?
[06:39] <sasuke> home
[06:39] <TJ-> Kartagis: Also, you should review the log-files to see if it is trying and failing to load, "grep i915 /var/log/kern.log"
[06:40] <ikonia> sasuke: ok, so you should probably consider taking the master up to supported versions,
[06:40] <sasuke> btw i'm using centos for puppet master and ubuntu is agent
[06:40] <ikonia> sasuke: other than that you'll need to find or build a repo holding the 2.7 client for your ubuntu relese.
[06:40] <sasuke> i even tried by installing master on ubuntu.. but the problem is puppet-master
[06:41] <Kartagis> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7408754/ and grep i915 /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf doesn't return a thing
[06:41] <sasuke> service is not starting
[06:41] <ikonia> sasuke: look at why it doesn't start
[06:41] <sasuke> logs are showing empty
[06:41] <ikonia> sasuke: start it manually then and get debug to the console
[06:41] <Kartagis> TJ-: also, grep i915 /var/log/kern.log doesn't return anything
[06:42] <mgolisch> Kartagis: but it loaded?
[06:42] <sasuke> how can i do that.. i'm not sure. can you give me some link if u hav
[06:42] <TJ-> Kartagis: If you don't see anything obvious in the log, then start a monitor on it with "sudo tail -f /var/log/kern.log" and then manually load the module from another terminal with "sudo modprobe i915". The log should show something
[06:43] <ikonia> sasuke: I don't have any link, the upstart job is just a shell script, so walk through the init process manually
[06:44] <Kartagis> TJ-: nothing in logs
[06:44] <nd> ikonia wt was the name again mpd should i search in g play
[06:44] <TJ-> Kartagis: Is that when you try to modprobe the module?
[06:45] <sasuke> ikonia, sorry to say this, i am not getting what you are saying.. i dont know linux in deep.. i have very little knowledge.
[06:45] <Kartagis> TJ-: yeah, but when I do modprobe i91<TAB> it is completed to i915_wd
[06:45] <Kartagis> sorry, i915_bdw
[06:45] <Kartagis> TJ-: ^
[06:46] <ikonia> nd: pardon ?
[06:46] <TJ-> Kartagis: what does this show: "find /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ -name 'i915*'  "
[06:46] <Kartagis> TJ-: when I do modprobe i915_bdw, I get "i915_bdw: exports duplicate symbol i915_release_power_well (owned by i915)"
[06:46] <ikonia> Kartagis: blindly typing commands is not going to help
[06:47] <ikonia> Kartagis: pay attention to EXACTLY what you are being asked to do
[06:47] <Kartagis> okay, sorry
[06:48] <Kartagis> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7408785/
[06:48] <mk12> hey
[06:48] <mk12> cannot log in into my computer after installing unbuntu 14.
[06:49] <TJ-> nd: I'm using (K)ubuntu 14.04 and with an Android 4.4 device the internal storage is presented (over MPT) as a volume to Ubuntu as soon as I plug in the USB cable
[06:49] <ikonia> TJ-: MPT !! not mpd, thank you
[06:50] <mgolisch> its mtp isnt it?
[06:51] <Kartagis> mtp yes
[06:51] <TJ-> Kartagis: Have you added "nomodeset" to the kernel command line ?
[06:51] <TJ-> mgolisch: lol yes... typo here :)
[06:52] <TJ-> MPT = Media Transfer Protocol, a way to 'mount' a volume on multiple hosts, safely.
[06:52]  * TJ- stamps on fingers for being dsylexic
[06:53] <Kartagis> TJ-: not that I'm aware of, but let me see. how do I check it? /boot/grub/grub.cfg?
[06:53] <mgolisch> Kartagis: cat /proc/cmdline
[06:53] <TJ-> Kartagis: "grep nomodeset /boot/grub/grub.cfg /etc/default/grub"
[06:53] <knak> Hi everyone, got he following error at boot after upgrading to 14.04LTS : "error: diskfilter writes are not supported". does someone have the same issue ?
[06:53] <Kartagis> uhm, yes I do have nomodeset
[06:54]  * Kartagis runs away screaming

[07:08] <questions> I was wondering if linux malware could or could not steal a key (and not a passphrase) from a LUKS filesystem upon, or after, connecting it to a computer which is also connected, at the time or later, to the internet.

[07:22] <Ben64> karab44: well what happens when you try
[07:22] <karab44> nothing
[07:22] <karab44> I can't even type a letter
[07:23] <Ben64> you need to explain more
[07:23] <karab44> Nothing works, only thing I can do is to go back to graphic mode
[07:23] <nd>  hows ubuntu 14.4 ? any one using
[07:23] <Ben64> karab44: ok, so you press CTRL+ALT+F1, what happens
[07:24] <karab44> black screen and blinking prompt
[07:24] <karab44> just in top left corner
[07:24] <karab44> no description, no nothing
[07:25] <karab44> Only thing I can do is go back to X altctrlf7
[07:25] <Ben64> karab44: ok, what version of ubuntu
[07:25] <TJ-> karab44: OK, that means the video driver installed isn't support modesetting correctly... probably you have a proprietary Nvidia or AMD driver
[07:25] <karab44> 14lts
[07:26] <karab44> TJ-: yes, that's right I do have nvidia
[07:27] <karab44> So what should I do? How to install additional drivers and configure them correctly? I like nvdidia much and I wish to use them as a primary drivers.
[07:28] <TJ-> karab44: I got around it by using the kernel UVESA driver to ensure I have terminal display too, by adding to the kernel command-line "video=uvesafb:mode_option=1920x1200-32,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap"
[07:29] <karab44> So that's everything I need to do? Nothing more to install?
[07:29] <TJ-> karab44: That's all ... ensure you select a native resolution of the display in your own options of course. My laptop uses 1920x1200 native resolution as you can see
[07:30] <karab44> TJ-: so by kernel command like you mean something like bootstrap ... yhmm grub, right?
[07:30] <TJ-> karab44: I add it to "/etc/default/grub" in "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="pci=realloc,use_crs video=uvesafb:mode_option='1920x1200-32',mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap" "   then run "sudo update-grub"
[07:31] <Ben64> might want to test it out first before adding it in like that
[07:32] <karab44> since last time I don't use tty's but as they say - you never know when you'll need it
[07:32] <karab44> Ben64: so how to test it first?
[07:33] <TJ-> karab44: add it manually at boot, by editing the boot menu entry
[07:33] <Ben64> you can type it in in grub before you boot

[08:17] <karab44> yghm no success... :S
[08:18] <karab44> I updated grub with that additional video command line but it still doesn't work. So I can not switch to any tty
[08:18] <karab44> I browsed synaptic for uvesa and I found v86d - "v86d is needed by the uvesafb kernel module."
[08:19] <karab44> I have not installed that... so it's probably esential for uvesa.
[08:19] <karab44> any hints?
[08:20] <karab44> TJ-: Do I need that package?

[08:37] <rigo> hi is the E1 1200 with 2 gibs of ram enough for browsing, and some flash gaming/youtube with ubuntu on a laptop?
[08:37] <Osz> Hi, anybody can help me how to access my external hard drive, I plug it but it didnt show up.
[08:38] <cuyotte> I have unblock-us and I'm able to watch Netflix and Hulu now no problem, but I was hoping it would have done the same thing for xbmc
[08:40] <Rory> cuyotte: It's a browser extension which just uses a web proxy. It will only work for the browser
[08:40] <cuyotte> Ok.
[08:40] <Rory> Osz: Can you install the package "pastebinit" (sudo apt-get install pastebinit)
[08:41] <Rory> Osz: Then unplug and re-plug your drive, and run "dmesg | pastebinit" and share the url in this channel
[08:42] <Zv_oDD> i can't figure out how to specify user name and password in the ftp command line
[08:43] <Osz> Rory: will do

[08:44] <cuyotte> Sorry for seeming like a noob, but what is everyone using FTP for?
[08:45] <freelancer_20141> hi
[08:45] <geirha> Zv_oDD: It's not GNU. You type   user username password   unless you mean to use it in a script, in which case, the default ftp client is mostly useless
[08:45] <freelancer_20141> how can i connect pppoe over Wifi
[08:45] <InFierno> PPPoE is PPP over Ethernet...
[08:45] <cuyotte> I thought it was only good for people who are hosting websites
[08:45] <Rory> freelancer_20141: Do you mean PPTP, a VPN?
[08:46] <freelancer_20141> no pppoe

[08:46] <freelancer_20141> please help me
[08:46] <InFierno> You need to use a router and then connect to the router via wifi
[08:46] <Zv_oDD> cuyotte: ftp =  "File Transfer Protocol"
[08:46] <cfhowlett> !ftp
[08:46] <geirha> cuyotte: Not even then, I'd say.  http://mywiki.wooledge.org/FtpMustDie
[08:47] <Zv_oDD> you can connect ot a remote machine and browser through folder and send/recieve files
[08:47] <freelancer_20141> but i have alot of wifi network and i receive all by using access point and all of them have pppoe over wifi
[08:47] <cuyotte> Ok.
[08:47] <freelancer_20141> how can i connect to all of them
[08:48] <cuyotte> So what FTP servers are out there that people can connect to?
[08:49] <cfhowlett> !ot|cuyotte please
[08:49] <Zv_oDD> cuyotte: usually it's another computer you have access to over a network
[08:50] <cuyotte> Ok. I get it now. Thanks.
[08:50] <Zv_oDD> for instance i have a virtual machine running linux and i want to send some file over to it form my windows computer
[08:50] <Zv_oDD> acttually the otherway around
[08:51] <Osz> Zv_oDD: you can create a share folder on the network and access it form your windows.
[08:52] <Osz> or better you get support from VM Software you are using.

[09:19] <slawek> Hi! I need help with proftpd. Every sunday proftpd is killed (signal 15). I guess its a problem with rotating logs - proftpd is getting killed by logrotate and then cant be run by user (need sudo). How can I fix this?
[09:19] <Abhi__> I am using ubuntu server on cloud hosting ..i already have created postfix .. I want to know how to configure with Email
[09:20] <nikolam> I get kernel PANIC, after I installed from Live DVD session, and when I take out DVD before clicking to reset
[09:20] <karab44> I know what probably could be case of my non-working tty's. I use updated nvidia-drivers instead of tested.
[09:20] <nikolam> al least it should ask me to bring back DVD in drive and hit reset and then take it out before reboot
[09:21] <karab44> I am not sure yet is that the reason but most probably it is.
[09:22] <Rory> Osz: Does your drive work in any other PC? Has it ever worked?
[09:25] <Abhi__> any one help me..?
[09:26] <cfhowlett> !server|Abhi__ ask the server channel

[09:34] <fidel__> hi - if it comes to 14.04 on a server - is there already a date known when 14.04.1 will be released? (which is usually the first version to take on servers afaik)
[09:34] <DJones> fidel__: I think the date for 14.04.1 is 24th July
[09:34] <cfhowlett> fidel__ july.
[09:35] <fidel__> thanks to both ;)
[09:35] <dw1> my provider offered a fresh install already :)
[09:35] <dw1> and you can upgrade early if you're brave
[09:36] <fidel__> dw1: i know - but i tend to upgrade those 10 boxes if .1 is released. that worked good in the past and i dont see a reason to change that so far ;)
[09:36] <karab44> Guys I think this is a bug that I can't log to any tty ...
[09:36] <dw1> fidel__: yes, good practice
[09:37] <Osz> Rory: it was my Laptop drive, and it was working fine until my windows crashed.
[09:37] <dw1> karab44: misconfiguration, maybe? whatd you do?
[09:37] <cfhowlett> fidel__ I've never server'd (that IS a verb, is it not?)  but I agree, but point release #1 upgrade is likely good practice.
[09:38] <karab44> dw1: on any ALT+CTRL+F123456 I have blank screen with prompt, can't do absolutely nothing except going back to X
[09:38] <Radon_3> hi friends
[09:39] <dw1> karab44: what about advanced -> recovery mode from grub?  any display?
[09:39] <karab44> I tried to add that grub_cmd_linux video=uvesa but with no effect
[09:39] <dw1> karab44: wonder if its a grub video thing
[09:39] <karab44> hmmm dw1 that's good point, I haven't tried that
[09:40] <dw1> karab44: i guess you have an addon video card installed
[09:40] <dw1> karab44: i heard once of someone getting their ttys on the mainboard video instead of addon card
[09:41] <dw1> karab44: cant remember if/how they fixed it tho :)
[09:41] <Radon_3> I want to do this: http://kartook.com/2012/07/how-to-protect-su-by-limiting-access-only-to-admin-group/ do you think it is such a good idea to do it?
[09:42] <karab44> I found that somebody just reinstalled nvidia drivers and it started to work. My drivers are "proprietary-updates" nvidia as primary driver and they're not "proprietary-tested"
[09:42] <Radon_3> or I could face limitation in the future
[09:42] <dw1> karab44: oh, i just use nvidia-current nothing bleeding-edge
[09:42] <karab44> yeah, that could be the reason
[09:43] <karab44> I'll do two things. First would be running recovery mode and reinstalling nvidia drivers for "tested" after that
[09:44] <dw1> karab44: im curious if the ttys are on mainboard video display :)
[09:45] <dw1> karab44: crawl under the desk and switch it.... :D
[09:45] <karab44> well... I don't know, but what about prompt? It's not totally blank (black)
[09:46] <dw1> oh hmm
[09:46] <dw1> k im not curious anymore
[09:46] <dw1> g/l
[09:46] <karab44> hehe thanks
[09:46] <Radon_3> dw1: hi man. how you doing? can you answer my question please?
[09:46]  * karab44 diving under his desk
[09:47] <TyzzyT> lol
[09:47] <dw1> Radon_3: perhaps if i knew the answer :)
[09:47] <Radon_3> oh...
[09:48] <dw1> karab44: if you see text/prompt then its probably not that..
[09:48] <Radon_3> TyzzyT: what's with the lol man? :)
[09:48] <TyzzyT> lol about karab44
[09:48] <dw1> karab44: not sure i understand the symptom fully
[09:48] <karab44> no text at all, just prompt
[09:48] <dw1> what do you mean prompt, flashing cursor/underscore ?
[09:49] <karab44> I mean just curson
[09:49] <dw1> should ask for login
[09:49] <dw1> ahh
[09:49] <karab44> cursor is blinking
[09:50] <karab44> so basically it's not even a prompt I believe
[09:51] <dw1> karab44: one reported it was kernel related
[09:52] <karab44> wooah I am back
[09:52] <karab44> you know what?
[09:52] <karab44> it works on mobo graphics xD
[09:52] <dw1> karab44: :o
[09:52] <karab44> yap
[09:53] <karab44> I am shocked
[09:53] <karab44> dw1: you were absolutely right
[09:55] <dw1> karab44: "When I connected a monitor to the mobo VGA and hit CTRL-ALT-F1 the tty displayed on that monitor instead. Went to BIOS- set the vga to enable when there is no graphics card - everything's fine now."
[09:55] <karab44> dw1: you are a genius
[09:56] <karab44> I remember I disabled BIOS vga last month
[09:56] <dw1> karab44: educated guess based on past browsing :)
[09:56] <dw1> karab44: nice
[09:56] <karab44> but it's weird tty works on disabled vga :S
[09:56] <karab44> okay nvmd brb
[09:59] <amirtharaj> i have five system A,B,C,D,E with ubuntu 14.04 desktop. Is here any possiblities to take a daily backup of B,C,D,E from A.
[10:00] <dw1> i would make a custom script for that, but there might be some tool
[10:01] <dw1> you could set up passwordless key-based access, and run commands remotely with ssh user@host -x <command>
[10:01] <karab44> I am back
[10:01] <dw1> amirtharaj: the above is for you
[10:01] <karab44> dw1: it works like a charm
[10:02] <dw1> amirtharaj: or you could set up cron jobs and use ftp or something
[10:02] <dw1> karab44: awesome :D
[10:02] <karab44> I had downgraded bios month ago because latest was unstable
[10:02] <karab44> and that covered with 1404 premiere
[10:03] <amirtharaj> From the open ssh server as my condition is possible?
[10:03] <dw1> amirtharaj: i would prob only backup things like /etc and /home files
[10:04] <karab44> dw1: thank you my friend!
[10:04] <dw1> amirtharaj: there are lots of ways... you need to a) build the backup archives and b) transfer them
[10:05] <root____1> Hi I am having a problem with updating, I am using 14.04 lts server with i3 desktop, I ran apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and everything was fine till it upgraded the kernel. Now it keeps cycling through the creation of the boot info(checking for other installs), it never finishes. If I stop it states that dpkg was interupted and to run dpkg --configure -a which just starts the cycle again, Does anyone
[10:05] <root____1> have an idea what to do to allow this to finish. thanks in advance for any help
[10:05] <amirtharaj> remaining 4 system needs to access me @ the same via terminal and on that time i need to take backup of them
[10:06] <dw1> root____1: are you sure its not uninstalling a lot of old kernels
[10:06] <dw1> root____1: that can take a while and probes after each removal
[10:06] <root____1> yes this install is only a few days old
[10:07] <amirtharaj> Yes tell me..is this possible via ssh server
[10:07] <dw1> amirtharaj: ssh can be used to run commands and/or authenticate.  scp can transfer over ssh channel... so yeah thats one way
[10:08] <root____1> dw1 yes this install is only a few days old
[10:09] <dw1> root____1: http://pastee.org your errors maybe it will help
[10:09] <amirtharaj> yes fine & thanks. i will implement the ssh-server imly.
[10:10] <root____1> dw1 there really isn't any errors till I stop it and run the dlpkg --configure -a that is tells me too
[10:11] <root____1> dw1 E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. this is about it
[10:11] <amirtharaj> One more question.my department need cvblob.. is it possible to install  in the ubuntu desktop 14.04?

[10:14] <dw1> root____1: what does it say while looping?
[10:15] <amirtharaj> i tried a lot..having an error.. related packages opencv,numpy was successfully installed...but cvblob not working in python

[10:19] <Boggie> Folks is there any way to make a bootable ISO from a DVD on Ubuntu?
[10:19] <root____1> dw1 it just shows the normal stuff that it shows when it creates new kernel, like the creation of th the inittrd files and the kernel files and then it starts the probe for other installs, this completes and then it starts the whole thing over, starting with the creation of the initrd files
[10:19] <Boggie> DVD itself is bootable.
[10:21] <dw1> root____1: hows your disk space?  df -h
[10:21] <root____1> I have 421 gig open on the root partition
[10:22] <dw1> root____1: did you ever try installing the kernel by itself?
[10:23] <root____1> dw1 no
[10:23] <dw1> root____1: could try it...
[10:23] <root____1> dw1: ok like directly from apt-get?
[10:23] <dw1> root____1: yeah
[10:24] <root____1> dw1: apt-get install ??
[10:24] <dw1> root____1: linux-image-#####-generic or whatever it is
[10:25] <root____1> dw1: ok I will give that a try now
[10:27] <shortblack> Boggie: Have you tried copying the DVD in Brasero?
[10:27] <root____1> dw1: It comes back with the E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. It is forcing me to start that process no matter what I askl it to do
[10:28] <babyswizz> I have been trying to upgrade my ubuntu 13.04 to 14.0 but it seem sudo apt-get upgrade does not recognize any upgrade
[10:28] <dw1> root____1: and that wont complete?
[10:29] <root____1> dw1: it just seems to cycle over and over, I am going to trigger it and let it run for a while and see if it eventually terminates
[10:29] <Boggie> no I haven't
[10:29] <dw1> root____1: look for an error or something...
[10:30] <root____1> dw1: I am going to examine some logs and look around, I appreciate all your help thanks
[10:30] <shortblack> Boggie: Give that a try :) should be able to copy it to an ISO
[10:31] <Boggie> let's hope so.
[10:31] <Boggie> but will it be bootable.. that is the question.
[10:31] <shortblack> Boggie: if the DVD is then it should be
[10:32] <Boggie> copy cd or dvd expects me to have another disk at hand which I do to have.
[10:32] <Boggie> nevermind. i found the image file option.

[11:39] <sebastianlutter> I have problems with 14.04 amd64 desktop with nouveau and a nvidia gt 220m (laptop). When I unplug the laptop and start using firefox or chromium then after some minutes the screen freezes or it shows distorted screen. Because it does not happen when the laptop uses cable power instead of battery I guess it is a power saving issuse with my GPU.
[11:40] <sebastianlutter> Is there anything I can do? Or is this a know error? Does a workaround exists?
[11:40] <sebastianlutter> Thanks a lot
[11:40] <sawsuh> i don't really know, but it might be helpful to post to the forums, with a little more detail in your specs
[11:41] <OerHeks> sebastianlutter, did you check additional driver tool to see if there is a driver available, that could fix such issues
[11:44] <demoz> can someone help me with this script please  http://pastebin.com/p0wh6KVW ? when i check for user in etc/passwd it have sbin/login while the script should make it sbin/nologin ,also pw is incorrect :(
[11:46] <sebastianlutter> OerHeks, I would prefere to use nouveau and not switch to nvidia driver. If nouveau runs well then it is easier for the person using this laptop (not me) to keep things updated and running.
[11:46] <sebastianlutter> Are there any kernel params that may help with my problem?
[11:47] <portserg> where can i startx manually after reboot?

[11:49] <foo357> Hello, I have a linux server (ubuntu) running samba and serving out a share to a windows network. I'm having problems connecting to the share from some clients, when I try I get an error about 'network path not found'.
[11:49] <foo357> I've got quite limited abilities to debug this from the client side, what can I do from the server to see what's wrong?
[11:51] <portserg> sebastianlutter, i just want to startx and run a video command. No other use of the monitor. I just can't figure out how to do a /etc/init.d/service or find the right place to just xinit / startx and see how it goes
[11:51] <portserg> tried rc.local and things got bad as well
[11:51] <llutz> demoz: use "usermod -s /usr/sbin/nologin $1"   instead of your sed-line, avoid to manipulate passwd file directly
[11:52] <demoz> llutz can you give me example please?
[11:52] <llutz> demoz: i did
[11:52] <Sohron> good afternoon
[11:53] <sebastianlutter> portserg, I would be able to help you with this on gentoo. On ubnutu I do not know how to startx (is the startx command not there?).
[11:53] <Sohron> i have a eaton protectionstation 650 and sometimes nut walls "UPS<EMAIL_ADDRESS>is unavailable"
[11:53] <portserg> sebastianlutter, it is indeed. after log in, i can just type it and works fine. No idea how to get that to work after each reboot
[11:54] <portserg> without login
[11:54] <Sohron> > upsc eaton gives: Error: Driver not connected
[11:54] <Ben64> portserg: add a task for it, have it run last
[11:54] <Sohron> even though it usually finds the ups
[11:54] <portserg> with cron ?
[11:54] <Ben64> portserg: no.... upstart
[11:55] <sebastianlutter> portserg, you mean that it start a x session without login on tty?
[11:55] <portserg> Ben64, is that /etc/init.d/ ?
[11:55] <demoz> llutz thank you,i ll try it :)
[11:55] <portserg> sebastianlutter, yes, thats what i meant ^^
[11:55] <Ben64> portserg: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ have fun :)
[11:56] <sebastianlutter> portserg, than you need to do something like this: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=29333
[11:56] <sebastianlutter> portserg, auto login into tty and then add startx to your users .bash_profile
[11:57] <sebastianlutter> portserg, I used the rungetty method a little below, but each of this should work for you
[11:57] <llutz> demoz: further you can use "useradd -s /usr/sbin/nologin -d blablah/$1 ...foo", then you don't need to change the shell later at all
[11:57] <portserg> interesting method sebastianlutter, thanks!
[11:57] <sebastianlutter> portserg, np
[12:00] <portserg> Ben64, wow.. thats probably what i should do..  its going to take a while to get that working
[12:00] <portserg> Ben64, thats how service gdm start would work ?
[12:00] <portserg> by that i mean, 'service' commands
[12:02] <lblume> Is there a tool to get/set BIOS configuration? From 14.04.
[12:03] <llutz> demoz: and btw, why don't you use virtual-users http://howto.gumph.org/content/setup-virtual-users-and-directories-in-vsftpd/
[12:03] <Sohron> does anyone have a clue why nut-monitor on some boots loses connection to the eaton ups?
[12:04] <demoz> llutz everything is fine in /etc/passwd now,but the password is not functional for some reason ,can you please look at this http://paste.ubuntu.com/7410017/
[12:06] <demoz> llutz i want to learn bash,this might be harder way by hitting with head directly into wall.. it can be frustrating,but it is kinda interesting..i tried pretty much everything i could find to solve these issues,so this is my last resort :)
[12:06] <llutz> !info pwgen | demoz why doing so hard?
[12:06] <llutz> demoz: the password-part of the script works
[12:07] <demoz> llutz when i try to login to ftp it won't allow me..
[12:07] <Ben64> you should ditch ftp and use sftp
[12:07] <demoz> ~~PASS ******** Response:	530 Login incorrect. Error:	Critical error Error:	Could not connect to server
[12:07] <llutz> demoz: sure it won't. you generate a password but you don't set it. neither as system- nor as vsftp-password
[12:08] <demoz> llutz the wierd thing is that in previous version password did work well.. i probably messed something,but i can't see/locate what :(
[12:09] <llutz> demoz: your script is missing the lines setting the users password
[12:09] <llutz> demoz: and as Ben64 stated, use sftp
[12:11] <demoz> llutz you and Ben64 are totally right,but i digged earlier some script and decided to change it and to customize,this is best i could do without any experience :)
[12:11] <sonjoy> hi
[12:12] <demoz> llutz can you help me to set generated password for the $1 user pretty please?
[12:13] <Ben64> demoz: sftp works anywhere ssh does, much easier to use and much more secure
[12:13] <Sohron> demoz: sudo passwd <user>?
[12:13] <llutz> demoz: you need to crypt the generated password and then use usermod  to set it, look here http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-write-shell-script-to-add-user.html
[12:14] <sonjoy> how can i install graphics driver on ubuntu 14.04 LTS
[12:14] <Ben64> sonjoy: depends which driver you need
[12:14] <Sohron> sonjoy: additional drivers
[12:14] <sonjoy> intel graphics driver
[12:14] <Ben64> should already be built into the kernel
[12:15] <Sohron> sonjoy: i suppose, if that's what you used at install time should be in use already
[12:15] <llutz> demoz: or you could use "/usr/sbin/chpasswd" for that
[12:15] <Sohron> oh, ubuntu probes for hardware at boot too i reckon
[12:16] <demoz> llutz chpasswd?
[12:16] <llutz> demoz: but still, setting up a highly insecure system just to learn bash is ... odd
[12:16] <Ben64> demoz, llutz: yep, should learn things the proper way
[12:16] <demoz> llutz i wanted to customize password by number of characters and symobls to use
[12:16] <Sohron> demoz: really, learn shell-scripting with another way
[12:17] <llutz> demoz: you cannot use "passwd" in script, that's where "chpasswd" comes in
[12:17] <sonjoy_> what is this ? https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads isn't it says graphics driver
[12:18] <Ben64> sonjoy: generally on linux, you don't download drivers like you would in windows
[12:18] <adamk> sonjoy_: Intel develops the drivers and releases them separately, but since they are open source, every linux distribution includes them automatically.
[12:19] <brainwash> sonjoy_: you can download a newer version of the intel driver this way, but ubuntu 14.04 already ships a very recent version of it
[12:19] <llutz> demoz: as i said, your script generates a password just fine (even though pwgen would do it easier) but you have to set users password with the generated string, thats what chpasswd can do
[12:19] <demoz> llutz thank you,i think i understand what was wrong :)
[12:19] <Ben64> it should also be noted that downloading drivers and installing manually is not supported here in this channel
[12:19] <sonjoy_> Oh ! thanks!
[12:20] <sonjoy_> yeah i am having lil bit problem with my display
[12:21] <brainwash> !details | sonjoy_
[12:22] <sonjoy_> sometimes it keeps hanged a little part of a window after minimizing the window
[12:22] <Sohron> sonjoy_: i'd say it's not about your display driver
[12:23] <Sohron> graphics driver even
[12:23] <sonjoy_> then what ?
[12:24] <Sohron> sonjoy_: i don't really know, but it really might not be about the graphics driver
[12:24] <tasslehoff> on a default setup, is core dumps stored anywhere (by apport) ?
[12:25] <sonjoy_> oh...
[12:26] <Sohron> sonjoy_: seems more likely it's a window manager problem
[12:28] <sonjoy_> whats the solution ?
[12:29] <Sohron> sonjoy_: have you tried to google the problem?
[12:30] <sonjoy_> No! I was thinking it was my Graphics driver problem
[12:31] <Sohron> sonjoy_: that is very unlikely
[12:32] <sonjoy_> Another problem is sometimes when I keep two or more window opened after switching among windows I can see window with another name

[12:33] <sonjoy_> like I Opened firefox and chromium , sometimes on chromium titlebar I can see the name of firefox ... and on firefox titlebar i can see name of chromium
[12:34] <Sohron> sonjoy_: that's because if you switch with alt+tab and keep the app long enough it changes the window of the app
[12:35] <Sohron> sonjoy_: or if you click the icon, it displays you a list of windows
[12:35] <Sohron> it's a feature, not a bug :)
[12:35] <sonjoy_> No I dont use alt+tab
[12:36] <sonjoy_> I just manually minimize or maximize

[13:22] <Kartagis> is this the case CatKiller?
[13:22] <CatKiller> Kartagis: Strande, you should see each file appearing as they are copied on the remoet
[13:22] <CatKiller> *remote
[13:22] <CatKiller> I do here anywayus
[13:24] <Kartagis> CatKiller: rsync -avz --progress -e ssh * muzaffer@<IP_ADDRESS>:/mnt/depo is my command. I don't see anything in /mnt/depo/
[13:25] <CatKiller> Maybe it's copying a really large file first that won't show up until completed?
[13:26] <TomyWork> i'm planning to update 13.04->13.10->14.04 over the weekend. now i'm seeing this long bug list at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+bugs which is kinda scary
[13:27] <TomyWork> should i be concerned?
[13:28] <TomyWork> should i even put off updating for a while?
[13:29] <cfhowlett> TomyWork many folks wait until the first point release - July for 14.04.1
[13:30] <TomyWork> this is kubuntu, btw
[13:30] <TomyWork> cfhowlett i know, but i'm on 13.04 right now, which doesnt get security updates anymore
[13:32] <GeorgeJ_> Hello folks!
[13:32] <cfhowlett> TomyWork well then, update away!
[13:32] <TomyWork> so which is better: 13.04 with security issues or 14.04 with other uncertain issues
[13:32] <GeorgeJ_> How can I mount a SMB share without havint it's password displayed when listing mounts?
[13:32] <cfhowlett> TomyWork  14.04 with uncertainty - at least it's supported
[13:33] <TomyWork> GeorgeJ_ got cifs-utils?
[13:33] <TomyWork> cfhowlett heh, ok i'll go with that
[13:33] <TomyWork> also gradually gets better, i hope
[13:33] <GeorgeJ_> TomyWork: I got sudo access, so I can probably install it.
[13:34] <GeorgeJ_> TomyWork: I would also like to mount the share at boot, so I would prefer it would not prompt for a password either.
[13:35] <TomyWork> GeorgeJ_ ok, you need that package and a file containing two lines: "username=georgej" and "password=georgespassword"
[13:36] <GeorgeJ_> TomyWork: Cool, Thanks!
[13:36] <TomyWork> GeorgeJ_ this goes into your fstab: //server/share cifs uid=unixuser,gid=unixgroup,credentials=/path/to/credentials_file,noauto,user 0 0
[13:36] <TomyWork> remove the ",noauto" if you want it to mount automatically
[13:37] <daftykins> ^ideally place the credentials file in /root/ and set it chmod 600
[13:37] <GeorgeJ_> TomyWork: Thank you. Yup, I can manage the fstab!
[13:37] <TomyWork> GeorgeJ_ unixuser and unixgroup are the user and group you want to the share
[13:37] <jacq> where can I find some info on ubuntu display in text mode?
[13:38] <TomyWork> +give
[13:38] <TomyWork> jacq hmm... inform yourself about framebuffer and maybe plymouth
[13:39] <jacq> TomyWork:  Thanks!!
[13:41] <ice9> how to permanently disable syndaemon?
[13:41] <troulouliou_dev> hi what is the non rolling release distribution that is closer to ubuntu in term of up to date packages ?
[13:42] <TomyWork> GeorgeJ_ i forget what the "user" option is for. if you find out, tell me :)
[13:42] <cfhowlett> troulouliou_dev only ubuntu support here.  sorry
[13:43] <TomyWork> GeorgeJ_ also it says here "If there is any space in the server path, you need to replace it by \040, for example //servername/My\040Documents"
[13:43] <TomyWork> 040 is octal for a space, i guess
[13:44] <TomyWork> here = https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[13:45] <troulouliou_dev> i want to install lxde + slim only but if i remove lightdm it try to install gdm ...
[13:45] <troulouliou_dev> is it possible to completmy remove both ?
[13:46] <Kartagis> CatKiller: several files seem finished
[13:47] <ddssc> can somebody help me get supervisor to work please?
[13:47] <ddssc> getting error: supervisorctl bash: /usr/local/bin/supervisorctl: No such file or directory
[13:49] <Koma> ~1&&&1
[13:50] <daftykins> ddssc: what are you actually running?
[13:50] <ddssc> daftykins: supervisorctl
[13:50] <daftykins> that's it, at the prompt?
[13:50] <ddssc> aye
[13:51] <ddssc> if I try running supervisord I get: Error: Another program is already listening on a port that one of our HTTP servers is configured to use.   For help, use /usr/bin/supervisord -h
[13:51] <ddssc> today I uninstalled supervisor and after that it wouldn't reinstall
[13:51] <daftykins> look for a config file and reconfigure it?
[13:51] <daftykins> oh. that's a bit different than you trying to run a program which isn't there :)
[13:51] <ddssc> then I did apt-get remove --purge , and pip uninstall supervisor
[13:51] <ddssc> daftykins: nah I reinstalled it
[13:52] <ddssc> daftykins: it runs as a service
[13:52] <daftykins> right but it's not starting due to port overlap?
[13:52] <ddssc> daftykins: root      3342  0.0  0.3  52080 12176 ?        Ss   15:43   0:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/supervisord
[13:52] <ddssc> daftykins: I've no idea why it's not working, not and admin here!
[13:52] <cousteau> what's the support time for a non-LTS version?  I'm seeing a chart that shows that it's less than a year since 13.04
[13:52] <ddssc> not an admin
[13:53] <daftykins> cousteau: 13.04 was not LTS and is dead, there is plenty of information online regarding support times
[13:53] <cousteau> I mean that before 13.04 versions had 1.5 years support or so
[13:53] <Pici> cousteau: We're at 9 months now for non LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for some timeline stuff.
[13:54] <cousteau> I see, thanks!
[13:54] <daftykins> ddssc: i'm not familiar with the program at all, but what does "which supervisorctl" report?
[13:54] <cousteau> I guess I won't be installing non-LTS versions then, given how lazy I am to upgrade
[13:54] <ddssc> supervisorctl is the control comand for supervisor
[13:54] <daftykins> yeah i can tell
[13:54] <ddssc> supervisor is a control process that runs as service and spawns child processes
[13:54] <daftykins> since it has 'ctl' at the end :P
[13:57] <Shelly2> can someone tell me where multimedia keys map to mixer? after 12.04 dist-update, lost graphic on screen volume display and volume control / mute

[14:25] <ntz> hello
[14:25] <ntz> fast Q:
[14:25] <correct> Anyone familiar with centrifydc?  Will work with Ubuntu 14.04.  I have searched, but i don't see it anywhere.
[14:26] <ntz> is there something like `yum provides "*lib/whatever"`
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> ntz: dpkg -S filename
[14:28] <ntz> ActionParsnip: yum provides == queries available packages, not installed .. rpm -qf /file == dpkg -S /path
[14:28] <Pici> ntz: use the apt-file package.
[14:29] <ntz> thanks
[14:29] <woopstar> When ufw is enabled, do i need to open something to get ucarp to work?
[14:31]  * wad returns to keyboard...
[14:31]  * wad reads the suggestions
[14:31] <ntz> woopstar: just imagine, would be ufw (or any other fw) worthwile when it will not do what it is supposed to do ie that it blocks everything what you not let enter in ?
[14:32] <wad> ActionParsnip, cat /etc/issue: Ubuntu 13.10 \n \l
[14:32] <woopstar> Then i just dont know what to open for ucarp :/
[14:32] <wad> I'm on the default Ubuntu unity, with compiz
[14:33] <ntz> woopstar: i also don't know what ucarp is but `netstat -tulnp' will tell you as well as probably grep ucarp /etc/services
[14:34] <ntz> wad: ^^ for you
[14:34] <woopstar> ntz: ucarp is not a service. It's used for floating a virtual ip between servers

[14:41] <FoodPlease> hi
[14:42] <sauce> what is the best way to deploy Ubuntu on to 100s of laptops?  FAI project maybe?
[14:43] <dtcrshr> sauce - DRBL / clonezilla
[14:43] <dtcrshr> you can multicast an equal image to all the laptops, supposing they have the same specs
[14:44] <sauce> conveniently enough, they are the same model laptop
[14:45] <sauce> thank you for your suggestion
[14:45] <armenzg> hello all
[14:45] <armenzg> I'm trying to build Firefox
[14:45] <armenzg> However, it seems that I don't fit the build requirements
[14:45] <armenzg> this is what I'm getting
[14:45] <armenzg> https://pastebin.mozilla.org/5091728
[14:46] <armenzg> what is the way to get into a good shape?
[14:46] <cfhowlett> armenzg ask FF support channel
[14:47] <armenzg> cfhowlett, it's not necessarily a FF specific question - I think is more about packages
[14:47] <dtcrshr> sauce: fai is quite nice, but if they will be on a ambient you have more control. both on fai and drbl you should take care for the pxe boots to be broadcasting on the network
[14:47] <armenzg> what is the FF channel?
[14:47] <armenzg> hi btw
[14:47] <dtcrshr> maybe some user logs in / gets ip from the server and wipes up an user system
[14:48] <dtcrshr> For this purpose Id rather take one notebook, tune it up to your needs, make a clone on drbl and afterwards deploy them to the other 99s
[14:48] <sauce> dtcrshr i will have a segregated VLAN for this purpose.  or a separate physical LAN with an unmanaged switch
[14:48] <dtcrshr> thats the way to go
[14:48] <ronaldsmazitis> hi everyone, how to fix nautilus thumbnails missing in 14.04
[14:48] <dtcrshr> will be quite fast then, you could easily use multicast
[14:49] <sauce> dtcrshr what did you mean by "ambient"
[14:49] <hanasaki1> running ubuntu trusty and unity and also kde... under a kvm with spice... the kde won't see highres graphics and does not show :display" in the settings.
[14:49] <dtcrshr> probabily you will lost more time mounting the notebooks on the desks then deploying the system :D
[14:50] <dtcrshr> sauce: well, sorry for the english, I have a limited vocabulary... but what I wanted to mention was as you told me, a vlan and full network management
[14:50] <sauce> ok perfect thank you
[14:50] <dtcrshr> mostly because of competing dhcp servers
[14:50] <sauce> you speak english very well
[14:50] <dtcrshr> thanks :D
[14:51] <sauce> :D
[14:51] <dtcrshr> if you have 2 dhcp servers, some configurations on the first one may apply. the next server configs, and tag up the vlans that PXE boot should reach
[14:54] <randomcake> hi, i'm seeing an odd issue where shift on my USB keyboard works for certain characters, and not others, and left and right shift function differently, e.g. I can write "<" with left shift, but not right shift. Has anyone any idea what could be going on?
[14:55] <ronaldsmazitis> nobody knows how to load thumbnails on 14.04
[14:55] <barryoh> Hi, What do I need to install to be able to use the "i386-efi" target in this command: grub-install --target=i386-efi
[14:55] <ronaldsmazitis> https://phpacademy.org/topics/ffmpeg-on-php5-apache24/34405
[14:55] <ronaldsmazitis> also this for offtopic
[14:55] <barryoh> because it was not understood.

[14:56] <barryoh> the command is at the bottom of this link: http://astrofloyd.wordpress.com/2014/01/14/linux-only-installation-on-2006-macbook-using-refind/

[15:02] <p00rfela> hi everyone, I have installed psad 2.2.3, the latest version, on my desktop 12.04, and when I run this command: sudo psad -R I get the error mail not found somthing, now I have changed the configuration file of psad to point to My_UN@localhost, setup evolution for My_UN@localhost, but still no good, I tryied changing the config file to my gmail add
[15:02] <p00rfela> ress but again the same error. how can I fix this?
[15:02] <p00rfela> any ideas?
[15:02] <randomcake> god damn it, swapping keyboards fixed it, I guess the keyboard has died somehow :-S the oddness of it just felt softwarey...
[15:03] <p00rfela> how can I setup a mail server just for local host, no outside business, no lose ends?
[15:04] <cloudgeek> my libvirt is listening  <IP_ADDRESS>:16509 , but when I do nmap localhost , it is not showing port 16509 is open ??
[15:06] <barryoh> anyone know what package I need to install for grub-install to uderstand this: --target=i386-efi
[15:07] <Meerkat> why does apt-get show updates when software updater has nothing?
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> p00rfela: postfix is pretty sweet
[15:08] <whoever> hi all , I am tring to rebyild gstreamer registry, but when i rum gst-inspect-1.0
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> p00rfela: http://www.cmsimike.com/blog/2011/10/30/setting-up-local-mail-delivery-on-ubuntu-with-postfix-and-mutt/
[15:08] <whoever> and registry.bin  is not recreated, can someone assIst
[15:10] <rypervenche> p00rfela: I believe it is set up to work automatically from local when you install postfix.
[15:11] <p00rfela> and it will be accessible from outside?
[15:11] <p00rfela> or I have to reject all incoming connections using iptables?
[15:11] <rypervenche> p00rfela: No. That wouldn't be local then :)
[15:11] <p00rfela> so it is a local mail server and nothing more
[15:11] <p00rfela> right?
[15:11] <rypervenche> p00rfela: It should be listening on localhost only I believe. It may ask you to configure it when you install it. I don't remember how Ubuntu does it.
[15:13] <p00rfela> ok, I agree postfix seems chicky and cute, I am going for it but will it solve my original problem? I mean psad not being able to send messages?
[15:15] <barryoh> Hi, what package do I need to install to be able to use --target=i386-efi in this command: # grub-install --target=i386-efi --recheck --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=grub ( LINK:  bit.ly/1uAzIUg )
[15:15] <ActionParsnip> p00rfela: it can do internal alone, or external ifd you want
[15:16] <budman_> Hey guys, I have a bunch of brand new servers, dell and ibm(higher end) the ones with broadcom NICs can only hit half 1GB/sec... the intels work perfect full 1GB/sec speed... anyone have similar issues? or use an alternative broadcom ethernet drivers(not wifi).
[15:16] <budman_> ubuntu 12.04
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> budman_: tried the Trusty liveCD to test speed?
[15:17] <budman_> Ihave not, will that load different drivers?
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> budman_: yes, its a newer kernel
[15:18] <budman_> ActionParsnip: thanks, I will try that next, I can even just upgrade kernels too, might be easier :) what version does the livecd load?

[15:20] <OerHeks> or not easily = almost impossible afaik
[15:21] <barryoh> OerHeks: thanks. Apple computers are SO frustrating.  I'm never buying another one... Trying to make my old laptop more usefull than paperweight. Guess It will remain one.
[15:22] <Praxi> ....
[15:22] <Praxi> that is unexpected barryoh :)
[15:23] <OerHeks> barryoh, apple is an other story, check their mactel pages
[15:23] <OerHeks> !mac
[15:25] <barryoh> OerHeks: I have a procedure for my mac... but it requires Arch and I can't get arch live to boot. argh.
[15:25] <butternut__squas> When my network printer saves files to a samba share they're all locked and i can't do anything with them unless I open the folder in question using sudo nautilus and apply read/write permissions manually. solutions, anyone?
[15:25] <daftykins> butternut__squas: fix the permissions
[15:26] <module000> butternut__squas: set a proper umask or ACL so your permissions are what you intend them to be
[15:26] <daftykins> butternut__squas: what user+pass did you feed the printer?
[15:26] <random653565> i really have some authentication problems with 14.04. there is no prompt anymore and things just get canceled.
[15:26] <barryoh> OerHeks: Do you know the package that allows me to use the i386-efi target in ubuntu?
[15:27] <butternut__squas> daftykins none i just made the folder so it was like, public or whatever. it took a lot of work just getting my printer to be able to write to it...
[15:29] <OerHeks> barryoh, nope, does the manual give you instructions about uefi/rEFIt ?
[15:31] <barryoh> OerHeks: The procedure on this blog says to use the command: http://astrofloyd.wordpress.com/2014/01/14/linux-only-installation-on-2006-macbook-using-refind/
[15:31] <butternut__squas> maybe it'd be easier to use ftp instead of samba?
[15:31] <barryoh> OerHeks: but he uses Arch and I can't get Arch to live boot.
[15:31] <random653565> i changed to ubuntu to have a hassle free, unified desktop experience. why does such a basic thing does not work?
[15:32] <daftykins> butternut__squas: can you scan a new file to the samba share, then pastebin the output of "ls -al /path/to/scan/share" ?
[15:32] <SAKUJ0> Hi, I don't know where to start. I have Ubuntu 14.04. I have my LED-TV hooked up via HDMI. When I turn off my TV (while in Xubuntu/XFCE) and turn it back on, I get no HDMI signal. Only if I swap to TTY1-6 (consoles) I get a signal and have to restart lightdm. This problem does not occur if I select XBMC as a session (I can turn off my TV and turn it on later and still be in XBMC). What could cause this?
[15:32] <daftykins> random653565: you're going to need to be a bit more specific than that
[15:32] <aomine> barryoh: why can't you boot arch?
[15:33] <daftykins> SAKUJ0: xbmcbuntu? theirs is a custom respin and so can't be supported here.
[15:33] <SAKUJ0> It is not XBMCbuntu
[15:33] <barryoh> aomine: it gets to a point where it asks how you want to boot options 1 or 2. But it freezes and doesn't respond after the message
[15:33] <SAKUJ0> I just have it installed on my normal Ubuntu installation
[15:33] <SAKUJ0> and noticed this problem does not occur if I don't boot into XFCE
[15:34] <SAKUJ0> For whatever reason Gnome/Ubuntu sessions don't work by themselves (maybe because I disabled Composite)?
[15:34] <aomine> barryoh: have you try aui http://github.com/helmuthdu/aui
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> SAKUJ0: try a non-compositing session like xfce4 and so forth
[15:35] <SAKUJ0> I did ActionParsnip, I only have XFCE and XBMC working as sessions. The problem occurs within XFCE but not within XBMC
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> SAKUJ0: what is the output of:  apt-cache policy xbmc      use a pastebin to host the output please
[15:36] <random653565> daftykins, well. there is no authentication prompt asking for a password on things such as updates. i dont know how to be more specific than that.
[15:38] <daftykins> random653565: you get one if you go to install them
[15:38] <daftykins> random653565: clean install or upgrade?
[15:39] <SAKUJ0> apt-cache policy xbmc yields http://pastebin.com/H0EeEauj
[15:39] <random653565> daftykins, well, i dont. yes clean install.
[15:40] <SAKUJ0> I have a XBMC PPA set up for the most recent version (mainly because it does use other non GPL software that solves issues). Then again, XBMC is the thing that does not have this issue. It is with XFCE (and Gnome/Ubuntu (Unity?) I cannot even start)
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> SAKUJ0: then you are using the PPA version. I suggest you contact the PPA maintainer to report the issue
[15:40] <MonkeyDust> !info xbmc
[15:41] <d4rkt1m3s> could somebody tell me if Ubuntu Trusty has Qt libraries installed by default?
