[00:20] <daniel__> have new tv monitor and have connected via hdmi but dont have clear HD desktop!! picture looks grainy any suggestions?
[00:21] <daniel__> have the propriety fglrx-updates driver installed
[00:22] <hypernova> erm
[00:22] <hypernova> how does one install teamspeak?
[00:22] <hypernova> TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_x86-3.0.16.run
[00:22] <hypernova> this is what i get when i download teamspeak
[00:23] <Koyaanis> open the terminal, then type cd "PATH OF THE FILE"
[00:23] <Koyaanis> then type ./TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_x86-3.0.16.run
[00:23] <hypernova> its on the desktop
[00:24] <Koyaanis> yeah
[00:24] <Koyaanis> cd /home/USER/Desktop/
[00:24] <hypernova> cd /home/USER/Desktop/ = no such file or drictory
[00:24] <Koyaanis> lol
[00:24] <Kelbit> cd ~/Desktop/
[00:24] <Koyaanis> replace USER with your username
[00:25] <Koyaanis> :P
[00:25] <Kelbit> or just remember that ~ automatically expands to /home/your_user_name
[00:25] <hypernova> i think ill just do cd ~/Desktop/
[00:25] <Koyaanis> sure thing
[00:25] <Koyaanis> I just dont use ~ because i dont know where that key is :P
[00:25] <TheC4mel> For some reason, when I changed the frames per second on JACK audio settings for my sound latency, every time (no matter what value I put in), it stops the jack server.
[00:28] <hypernova> thanks worked a charm
[00:28] <Koyaanis> nice
[00:30] <NobCat> TJ- >>>
[00:30] <NobCat> http://myanwyn.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/how-to-recover-seagate-central-data.html
[00:30] <lixunero> goodbye
[00:32] <TJ-> NobCat: ahh, so you just need lvm to use 64KB blocks?
[00:32] <NobCat> hey
[00:32] <NobCat> yeah :D
[00:33] <hypernova> nothing opens when i try to run teamspeak ;(
[00:33] <lixunero> a dormir
[00:33] <noobninja> silly question, but how do I start gnome fallback after installing it on the terminal with Ubuntu Server?
[00:34] <lixunero> yes
[00:35] <TJ-> NobCat: dont want to disappoint you, but if the data looked encrypted I doubt its just a different block size
[00:36] <TJ-> NobCat: in the first few bytes you'd see readable text with the VG name and LV name in the LVs header
[00:37] <hypernova> so icreated a launc hscript
[00:37] <hypernova> ands to /home/your_user_name
[00:37] <hypernova> opps
[00:37] <hypernova> Type=Application
[00:37] <hypernova> Exec=/home/alex/Documents/TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_x86/ts3client_runscript.sh
[00:37] <hypernova> Name=Teamspeak
[00:37] <hypernova> Version=3
[00:37] <nurfee> noobninja: Logut and you should get a login gui now, if all set up correctly.
[00:37] <lixunero> hypernova hablas español
[00:38] <hypernova> erm
[00:38] <hypernova> it still won;t launch
[00:39] <lixunero> hypernova, how do you say spanish?
[00:39] <hypernova> esponal?
[00:39] <hypernova> idk
[00:40] <noobninja> nurfee: I'm on Ubuntu Server so it only has a terminal. I did a "sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback" and tried to run "gnome-session --session=gnome-classic", but got an error message saying "cannot open display"
[00:40] <TheC4mel> Espanol (squiggle on the 'N')
[00:40] <daniel12> grainy unclear desktop with new HDTV ati proprietory graphics driver installed, resolution ok just doesnt look HD clear
[00:41] <TheC4mel> Have you tried wumbo?
[00:41] <nurfee> noobninja: Yes your on a server, however if you have done your work, you have X and a login, I would confirm all that's workin before you try loading and unloading the DE, that is the easy part, end goals here also matter.
[00:41] <lixunero> TheC4mel: how do you say spanish?
[00:42] <TheC4mel> lixunero: Espanol (squiggle on the 'N')
[00:43] <TheC4mel> "es span yol"
[00:44] <noobninja> nurfee: I'm very new to this, but how do I install "x and login"?
[00:44] <rblst> hypernova: first line should be: [Desktop Entry]
[00:44] <HarrySacks> Does canonical spy on what you do on your computer?
[00:45] <rblst> hypernova: and set x pernission on the file
[00:45] <nurfee> noobninja: Installing a desktop like that one gives you X, have you logged out or rebooted to see?
[00:45] <HarrySacks> Does canonical spy on what you do on your computer?
[00:45] <noobninja> nurfee: yes, I rebooted the server and it dropped me straight into terminal
[00:45] <nurfee> HarrySacks: Stop asking that please.
[00:45] <bazhang> hes gone
[00:46] <OerHeks> noobninja, try ctrl altF7 for the inlog gui, and ctrl alt f2 to return to comandline
[00:46] <doesntmatter> anyone can help ? i think ive just got disconnected because i used -j drop on a ack packet
[00:47] <bazhang> lixunero, take the chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[00:48] <noobninja> OerHeks: when I did CTRL+ALT+F2 it dropped me to the terminal login screen
[00:48] <noobninja> OerHeks: when I did CTRL+ALT+F7 gave me a bunch of bootup msg
[00:55] <lixunero> bazhang
[00:56] <bazhang> lixunero, did you have an ubuntu support issue
[00:57] <Geo2b2> Does Ubuntu Mate use gtk2 or 3 when it comes to theming?
[00:58] <bazhang> !info mate-desktop
[00:58] <lixunero> gtk2
[00:58] <xangua> Geo2b2: depends if the app uses gtk 2 or gtk 3
[00:58] <lixunero> bazhang: no
[00:58] <bazhang> lixunero, then stop the chatting here, this is support ONLY
[00:59] <bazhang> lixunero, #ubuntu-offtopic for chat NOT here
[01:00] <lixunero> bazhang: do not be angry
[01:00] <Geo2b2> xangua, sorry, what do you mean by the app? I'm just trying to install some themes in general and on the website there are some that are gtk2 and some that are gtk3
[01:01] <xangua> Geo2b2: you want both
[01:02] <stevejobsinhell> moin.
[01:02] <stevejobsinhell> is Qt5 in the repos ?  Using version 15
[01:03] <Geo2b2> xangua, thanks
[01:03] <xangua> A theme set that has both gtk 2 and gtk 3 Geo2b2 , most gtk 3 themes have both but you have to check them yourself
[01:05] <Geo2b2> xangua, oh ok. that clears things up a bit more, thank you. I didn't realize a theme could use both
[01:07] <amnesia_> quantum: what up
[01:10] <stevejobsinhell> How can I tell if I have qt installed?
[01:12] <FreezingDroid> So in Ubuntu 15.04, do they use the same kernel?
[01:12] <FreezingDroid> Er, in the desktop and server version.
[01:14] <Trinity> anyone worried about the leap second june 30th?
[01:14] <hypernova> hello i can not get teamspeak to run for my best efforts
[01:14] <nurfee> I'm concerned you are
[01:14] <hypernova> i downloaded the .run file
[01:14] <hypernova> ran it
[01:15] <hypernova> and now i have a folder with a bunch of flies
[01:15] <Trinity> nurfee, well. there were some bugs last time in 2012
[01:15] <hypernova> and a runscript.sh and a ts2clinet_lunnux 86
[01:15] <hypernova> any help would be amazing!
[01:15] <hypernova> super fed up
[01:16] <nurfee> Trinity: really this is a #ubuntu-offtopic issue is all
[01:16] <Koyaanis> hyper
[01:16] <FreezingDroid> To answer my own question, yes, they are the same kernel.
[01:16] <Koyaanis> hypernova: let me try to run it.
[01:16] <hypernova> yes
[01:16] <hypernova> ok
[01:16] <Koyaanis> this your first time on ubuntu?
[01:16] <hypernova> nope.
[01:16] <hypernova> 5 years
[01:17] <hypernova> im 17
[01:17] <hypernova> got it when i was 12
[01:17] <hypernova> still not too good at it
[01:17] <rosselot> salut
[01:17] <Koyaanis> nice.
[01:17] <hypernova> just starting to learn whats past the gui
[01:17] <hypernova> i know the gui pretty nice
[01:17] <hypernova> but you know nothing else really
[01:18] <Koyaanis> ah
[01:18] <Koyaanis> i only have ubuntu in a virtual machine and dont know much about it either. but ill see what i can do. been using the terminal since the very beginning
[01:20] <Remoboth> Gaiz.
[01:21] <Remoboth> Udisks requires me to authenticate power state checks every time I unlock my desktop...
[01:21] <Remoboth> IT is quite annoying.
[01:21] <Remoboth> Is there any way to disable these authentication notices?
[01:25] <Koyaanis> hypernova: i got it to work.
[01:25] <hypernova> how?
[01:25] <Koyaanis> i told you to ./file.run  earlier. that shouldnt have worked. or did it work for you?
[01:25] <hypernova> i got it instaled
[01:25] <hypernova> how do i run it?
[01:26] <Remoboth> ANyone?
[01:26] <Remoboth> Authentication checks?
[01:26] <Koyaanis> you have runscript in the folder. you need to run that file ./ts3client_runscript.sh
[01:26] <hypernova> how?
[01:26] <Koyaanis> just type ./ts3client_runscript.sh in the terminal. you have to cd into the directory first of course
[01:26] <hypernova> i don't want to do that every time...
[01:27] <Koyaanis> Yeah i know what you mean. i dont know a solution to that right now though, tbh
[01:27] <hypernova> run a script
[01:27] <hypernova> that won;t work...
[01:27] <Koyaanis> there are probably scripts or whatever to create icons
[01:29] <antonio_> I'm having a hard time upgrading from 12.10 to the newest...How exactly do I do this?
[01:29] <hypernova> i had the same problem
[01:29] <hypernova> that os is end of the line
[01:29] <hypernova> wipe the harddrive
[01:29] <Koyaanis> lol
[01:29] <hypernova> install over it with a live cd
[01:30] <hypernova> any ways
[01:30] <Koyaanis> cant you did you just do  "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" ?
[01:30] <hypernova> i don't know the file path
[01:30] <AssociateX> My internal mic works if my headphones are not plugged in, but if my headphones are plugged in my mic does not work.
[01:30] <hypernova> if its on my desktop
[01:30] <hypernova> lol
[01:30] <hypernova> ive had that bugg too
[01:30] <hypernova> !alsa
[01:30] <Koyaanis> usually programs are installed in /usr/local/somedirectory i believe..
[01:30] <hypernova> or try googleing it
[01:31] <antonio_> I want to be able to keep all of my current programs.  I backed up everything from the /home folder to an external HD with rysnc.  Can I install with the newest version of ubuntu and keep all of my programs / configuations?
[01:32] <Bashing-om> !eol | antonio_
[01:33] <hypernova> omg i got it
[01:35] <antonio_> where is sources.list?
[01:35] <Koyaanis> how hyper
[01:36] <antonio_> anyone?
[01:36] <TJ-> antonio_: see "man sources.list"
[01:37] <Bashing-om> antonio_: That file is located " /etc/apt/sources.list ". Be aware it is a long hard roard to go from 12.10 to a current release . May have many pitfalls along the way .
[01:39] <antonio_> bashing-om: Whats more reliable to keep all of my current programs / configs?  Doing a fresh install with 14.10? or upgrading?
[01:40] <nszceta> antonio_ upgrade
[01:40] <Bashing-om> antonio_: You have backups. I would highly recommned a clean fresh install of 14.04 .
[01:40] <antonio_> bashing-om: and then copying over the /home folder after I cresh install?
[01:42] <Bashing-om> antonio_: No, I would only copy back to the new install such things as still required .
[01:42] <danshin> Someone know how to enable javascript in Links?
[01:42] <antonio_> bashing-om: like what?
[01:42] <scar> help! i was trying to reduce my encrypted partitions following this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ResizeEncryptedPartitions#Reduce_an_encrypted_partition  and now when i try to boot my system it says "no volume groups found"
[01:42] <antonio_> essential files?
[01:44] <Bashing-om> antonio_: All essential files will be in the new install . All I would copy back is the personal stuff I use on a regular basis. A lot of changes between the DE of 12.10 and that of 14.04 .
[01:44] <antonio_> bashing-om: what if I want to keep my current programs / configs?
[01:45] <Bashing-om> antonio_: Like 3rd party stuff ?
[01:45] <antonio_> bashing-om: yeah...thunderbird, kdenlive, etc.
[01:45] <Bashing-om> antonio_:
[01:45] <antonio_> huh?
[01:46] <scar> in the liveCD now it says /dev/sda5 is not a valid LUKS device
[01:46] <DanShark> /wc/
[01:47] <Bashing-om> Much safer to (RE-)install fresh . IF you have a lot, 'dpkg --get-selections >> dpkg --set-selections >> sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade ' may be of interest .
[01:48] <edgardoweb> hi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ia9YSGiYh5w&feature=share
[01:49] <Bashing-om> antonio_: ^^ In respect to get-selections; see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=261366 .
[01:56] <scar> help! i was trying to reduce my encrypted partitions following this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ResizeEncryptedPartitions#Reduce_an_encrypted_partition  and now when i try to boot my system it says "no volume groups found", when i try 'cryptsetup luksOpen' in a liveCD it says "not a valid LUKS device"
[01:58] <antonio_> bashing-om: where does it save that file of installed softs?
[02:00] <Bashing-om> antonio_: Wherever you direct . For instance ' dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages ' would save the file to your desktop as file name "my-packages" .
[02:01] <domking> is there a way to logout out of gdm3
[02:01] <antonio_> never mind, found it ;)
[02:01] <domking> say im in a vm
[02:02] <domking> im done with desktop want to logout out gdm completely just take it back to black command line login
[02:02] <domking> possible?
[02:03] <domking> thought logging out would do it but it just take me back to gdm login screen i want to exit out gui completely
[02:03] <nurfee> domking: TTY
[02:03] <nurfee> sudo service gdm stop
[02:03] <nurfee> start to go
[02:04] <domking> so i have to kill the service?
[02:05] <nurfee> you are shutting down x
[02:06] <domking> ahh i see
[02:06] <nurfee> I can't give a exact technical explanation, others can
[02:06] <domking> appreciate that
[02:06] <nurfee> hate to stray you yah no
[02:07] <domking> ok so another question and this is just hypothetical im thinkuing outloud
[02:08] <domking> nvmd figured it

[02:12] <TheC4mel> Hello all. Any JACK Audio connection junkies out there? I'm having the biggest headache. Jack audio connection kit was working like, 2 hours ago. I had it working perfectly. All I wanted to do is just change the sound latency. I changed the frames/period, but after doing that, the whole entire thing wouldn't work. I've altered a lot of settings, just in hopes that I'd get it working again. It won't do anything. In fact, I changed th
[02:12] <TheC4mel> e name of my JACK settings preset, and I think that screwed it up even more. http://pastebin.com/rTrdDtwc     here's the error log.
[02:12] <gregory> the military will warn you not to install this os but i love this version
[02:13] <gregory> why wont 14.04 update to 14.05 ??? Correct?
[02:13] <nszceta> wtf?
[02:14] <nszceta> put down the bong man

[02:33] <gregory__> why is linux so free?
[02:34] <MiniFridge> Hi, I'm trying to use Universal USB Installer to make a live USB of Ubuntu 14.04.02, it works well up until I select the option to try Ubuntu, then I get stuck at a Busybox prompt.
[02:34] <MiniFridge> I checked the hashes of the USB creator and the iso
[02:34] <MiniFridge> I also tried changing the USB ports from 3.0 to 2.0
[02:35] <MiniFridge> I had this issue before and I believe I tried UNetbootin in the past. It seems it also won't work with Linux Mint
[02:35] <wolflarson> who created universal usb installer?
[02:35] <MiniFridge> Me
[02:35] <gregory__> Sorry, I just started with IRC, where can i talk and have fun #ADMIN

[02:36] <Bashing-om> wolflarson: One can ask here, might get better response in #ubuntu-server .
[02:37] <wolflarson> thanks Bashing-om I will ask there
[02:38] <Bashing-om> wolflarson: K :) lots of smart people frequent here though .
[02:38] <MiniFridge> I'm not trying to install Ubuntu, just so that's clear. I just want a live USB.

[02:42] <gregorybritt_com> wouldn't it be nice if linuxliveusb would run the live linux on ubuntu instead of windows only?

[03:12] <MiniFridge> I got a busy box prompt again
[03:14] <nurfee> MiniFridge: I wonder what is on the computer now, this a dual boot in the end, if so with what?
[03:14] <MiniFridge> For context: I can't get an Ubuntu live USB working using Linux Live USB Creator or Universal USB Creator. I checked the hashes of both the software and the iso file
[03:14] <gregorybritt_com> on that ip i promise to you the irc user whoever you be that you shall never be kicked!
[03:15] <MiniFridge> nurfee, Windows 8.1
[03:15] <demhlyr> MiniFridge try http://rufus.akeo.ie/ maybe
[03:15] <nurfee> MiniFridge: UEFI sound familiar?
[03:15] <MiniFridge> I'll try Rufus.
[03:15] <MiniFridge> nurfee, yes
[03:15] <nurfee> MiniFridge: Cool, I assume you have seen the wiki....etc.
[03:15] <wolflarson> Rufis was the only way I could get kubuntu to work due to uefi
[03:16] <MiniFridge> oh, UEFI causes problems, apparently?
[03:16] <schlerp> yeah you bought that pc iwth win 8.1?
[03:16] <nurfee> !uefi | MiniFridge take a looksie
[03:16] <MiniFridge> Well, I built it.
[03:16] <MiniFridge> I installed a retail version of Windows 8.1 on it
[03:17] <schlerp> yeah so by the sounds of it you got two options, (1 if you want to dual boot with win8)
[03:18] <schlerp> either use the bios fallback instead of uefi or get ubuntu workign over uefi (read the ubottu link)
[03:19] <MiniFridge> Is there a way to find out if I installed Windows 8.1 via UEFI or legacy?
[03:19] <MiniFridge> I forgot what I did, it was over a year ago.
[03:19] <wolflarson> what is your BIOS set at currently ?
[03:20] <wolflarson> more than likley you never changed it back to UEFI if installed while in legacy
[03:20] <schlerp> if you bought the parts recently it would be uefi im fairly sure anyone else got a more solid idea of that?
[03:21] <MiniFridge> Well, it's at UEFI. I never knew I could go to BIOS on it. For some reason, I thought you were talking about the boot mode.
[03:21] <Bashing-om> MiniFridge: ' [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS ' .
[03:23] <gregorybritt_com> sorry :2199
[03:24] <MiniFridge> it does look like I have fast startup enabled.
[03:24] <MiniFridge> I will take a look at it.
[03:24] <MiniFridge> Bashing-om, what is that for?
[03:24] <schlerp> skips a bunch of stuff and goes striaght to the first os it finds im pretty sure?
[03:24] <Bashing-om> MiniFridge: You asked for a means to tell if bios or UUFI . the result will tell .
[03:25] <gregorybritt_com> unlimited listener shoutcast autodj
[03:25] <gregorybritt_com> minifridge
[03:25] <MiniFridge> ah. Well, I know it is UEFI. Thanks anyways.
[03:25] <MiniFridge> gregorybritt_com, yes?
[03:25] <nurfee> MiniFridge: Dualbooting will remove the windows fastboot, you want windows off when going to another OS.
[03:27] <MiniFridge> nurfee, even if I just want to use a live USB once in a while on this PC, I must follow the steps described in the wiki?
[03:28] <gregorybritt_com> why does ubuntu suck for only shoutcast relaying
[03:28] <gregorybritt_com> everything else kicks butt
[03:29] <gregorybritt_com> but thanks for putting the xscreensaver back where it was
[03:30] <gregorybritt_com> it still gives the daemon error as it usually
[03:30] <MiniFridge> I may do this tomorrow.
[03:30] <gregorybritt_com> does
[03:30] <MiniFridge> It's getting late here.
[03:30] <gregorybritt_com> yep add more screensavers too!
[03:30] <MiniFridge> Thank you for your help.  What were/are you trying to achieve?
[04:04] <Mista_Hezakiah> Hey. Can anyone help me fix my slow wifi? I used an old version of Mint and averaged 1mb/s. On Ubuntu 14.04 it averages 160kb/s.
[04:05] <lotuspsychje> Mista_Hezakiah: wifi chipset please?
[04:05] <Mista_Hezakiah> If I try to browse the web while downloading the connection resets and drops to like 10kb/s
[04:05] <Mista_Hezakiah> RTL8185, I think. Driver is 818x_pci
[04:05] <darkelfjuggalo> I'm having a strange issue... Programs freezings without warning repeatedly just for opening. and closing without warning or error notice
[04:06] <lotuspsychje> !realtek | Mista_Hezakiah
[04:06] <El-Hrairah> Is there an up-to-date reference on how to slipstream updated packages into a ubuntu release iso? That is to say instead of installing from a vanilla iso, then downloading 500mb of updates.
[04:06] <lotuspsychje> Mista_Hezakiah: you might wanna look at realteks website for latest linux drivers/firmwares also
[04:06] <Mista_Hezakiah> Thanks. Surprised this didn't show up in google.
[04:07] <lotuspsychje> Mista_Hezakiah: also, did you install ubuntu with internet cable enabled+updates+3rd party?
[04:07] <Mista_Hezakiah> I looked but I have to build from source and change driver myself. The source comes with little instruction
[04:07] <Mista_Hezakiah> Yes lotus
[04:08] <lotuspsychje> El-Hrairah: you want to build an own ubuntu iso?
[04:10] <El-Hrairah> lotuspsychje: Possibly, but I would prefer to just slipstream updated packages and have it install those. That probably does require me building a custom image. Any up-to-date instructions? I found some for 9.04, but I have a feeling things have changed since then.
[04:10] <lotuspsychje> El-Hrairah: can you explain a bit what purpose do you have with it?
[04:11] <Mista_Hezakiah> lotuspsychje This information looks like it's for a much older version of ubuntu. And do you know it will work with my card also? I'd rather have  sort-of working wifi than none
[04:11] <El-Hrairah> lotuspsychje: Mostly not having to redownload 500mb of packages every time I install a system.
[04:11] <lotuspsychje> El-Hrairah: the problem with that is, packages keep updating fast so even with this method you will always have to update
[04:12] <El-Hrairah> lotuspsychje: True, but I can always keep my iso somewhat up-to-date.
[04:12] <lotuspsychje> El-Hrairah: and its very reccomended to install ubuntu with internet and updates enabled at the beginning of install
[04:13] <El-Hrairah> lotuspsychje: I don't always have internet access for that sort of thing.
[04:13] <El-Hrairah> lotuspsychje: And I don't always have a fast connection.
[04:13] <lotuspsychje> El-Hrairah: how about you use aptoncd and make a favorite list of your packages to backup
[04:13] <El-Hrairah> lotuspsychje: Let me look into that one.
[04:13] <lotuspsychje> El-Hrairah: then you can push them offline over your new install
[04:14] <lotuspsychje> !info aptoncd | El-Hrairah
[04:14] <lotuspsychje> Mista_Hezakiah: the only way is to find a newer firmware/driver, try the realteks website mate
[04:14] <lotuspsychje> Mista_Hezakiah: you might wanna look at syslog and dmesg errors too about wifi
[04:15] <El-Hrairah> lotuspsychje: That looks like it would probably work for me.
[04:15] <lotuspsychje> El-Hrairah: it might save you alot work perhaps
[04:15] <Mista_Hezakiah> Okay, thanks
[04:15] <El-Hrairah> lotuspsychje: Thanks for pointing me in that direction.
[04:16] <lotuspsychje> El-Hrairah: after you restored your fav packages, and update from there, it will be smaller update right
[04:16] <lotuspsychje> El-Hrairah: another possibility is to use latest ubuntu daily images
[04:17] <lotuspsychje> El-Hrairah: but that requiers to download a lot of .iso's
[04:18] <lotuspsychje> Mista_Hezakiah: tail -f /var/log/syslog and tail -f /var/log/dmesg and turn off/on your wifi and play a bit with it
[04:18] <lotuspsychje> bazhang: good morning mate
[04:19] <El-Hrairah> lotuspsychje: That would be more work than I wanna do. I just want to basically take the downloaded debs that come in with each update and slipstream them/use them for future offline updating
[04:19] <AssociateX> I'm trying to get my laptop mic to work on google hangouts.
[04:19] <lotuspsychje> !sound | AssociateX
[04:19] <lotuspsychje> El-Hrairah: ok, another possible layout is using apt-get to download your packages to backup
[04:20] <lotuspsychje> El-Hrairah: apt-get download yourpackagename
[04:20] <AssociateX> If my head phones are plugged in my mic does not work, if my headphones are not plugged in my mic works. That's annoying.
[04:20] <lotuspsychje> El-Hrairah: and put those .debs on a stick?
[04:20] <owen1> (ubuntu 15.04) - After hibernation (pm-hibernate or close the lid) my cursur is invisibe and i can't see what i type. any ideas?
[04:21] <kostkon> AssociateX, what type of headphones? USB?
[04:21] <jak2000> for get internet on my debian i need type:  ip route add default via <IP_ADDRESS>  how to make it permanently this entry?
[04:21] <lotuspsychje> !debian | jak2000
[04:21] <AssociateX> kostkon, no, just regular audio jack for computers, I don't know the proper name.
[04:22] <lotuspsychje> jak2000: try the #debian channel please
[04:22] <AssociateX> kostkon, I have usb headphones also.
[04:22] <kostkon> AssociateX, open your sound settings, then plug in your headphones. Does the default input device change when you do that?
[04:22] <AssociateX> they don't work either.
[04:23] <AssociateX> kostkon, pulseaudio volume control?
[04:23] <kostkon> AssociateX, your sound settings, not pavucontrol, at least not just yet
[04:24] <lotuspsychje> owen1: check your syslog after hibernation
[04:24] <jak2000> lotuspsychje is a general question
[04:24] <AssociateX> kostkon, how do I get to where you want me to be?
[04:25] <lotuspsychje> owen1: you might wanna try an no acpi boot also
[04:25] <kostkon> AssociateX, are you using ubutnu with unity or gnome?
[04:25] <lotuspsychje> jak2000: this isnt general linux mate, we can only support ubuntu related issues sorry
[04:25] <AssociateX> kostkon, I think unity
[04:25] <AssociateX> how do I check for sure?
[04:25] <lotuspsychje> AssociateX: lsb_release -a
[04:26] <kostkon> AssociateX, nevertheless, you could start a hangouts session, then open pavucontrol, click on Recording and see what device is being used for the hangouts input stream and change and change it if needed
[04:26] <jak2000> lotuspsychje ok, how do it in ubuntu?
[04:28] <AssociateX> kostkon, I tried that
[04:28] <kostkon> AssociateX, and what happened
[04:30] <AssociateX> kostkon, no one could hear what I was saying.
[04:30] <AssociateX> total bummer.
[04:30] <kostkon> AssociateX, did you check the status of all your volume levels? also do it in alsamixer
[04:31] <kostkon> AssociateX, make sure that the input are not muted ('MM' under them)
[04:31] <kostkon> inputs*
[04:32] <El-Hrairah> This is another odd question, but when I connect a USB-Serial adapter, I get a /dev/ttyS0 file with a group ownership of "dialout". For the life of me, I can't find where that particular is set. There doesn't seem to be a udev rule for it. Am I missing something, or is this just a hardcoded default?
[04:32] <Mneuro> When I play a full screen game in Ubuntu 15.04 my mouse cursor flickers.  Does anyone know how to fix this?
[04:33] <darkelfjuggalo> i asked a question, then I was kicked from the chat room, i dont know if anyone answered' my programs are greying out on opening, some times going in and out in this manner, sometimes closing without prompting or giving an error message that explains why... what are some potential problems, and how can i check on these issues?
[04:34] <lotuspsychje> darkelfjuggalo: you had a remote host connection drop
[04:34] <lotuspsychje> darkelfjuggalo: did you try starting a program from terminal?
[04:34] <lotuspsychje> mneptok: grafix card chipset + driver loaded please?
[04:34] <darkelfjuggalo> lotuspsycheje, no i haven't, I don't know how to run from terminal
[04:35] <darkelfjuggalo> well not the programs i have icons for
[04:35] <lotuspsychje> darkelfjuggalo: try firefox in terminal example: command: firefox
[04:36] <lotuspsychje> darkelfjuggalo: wich ubuntu version is this?
[04:36] <darkelfjuggalo> 14.04.. 64-Bit on a Toshiba Satelite
[04:36] <jak2000> lotuspsychje ?
[04:37] <lotuspsychje> jak2000: install ubuntu and re-ask your question here
[04:37] <jak2000> ok
[04:37] <jak2000> done
[04:38] <AssociateX> kostkon, thank you for all of the help.
[04:38] <jak2000> how to add permanently a route ?
[04:38] <lotuspsychje> jak2000: this is not the channel for playing games, go to #debian or the ##networking channel
[04:39] <darkelfjuggalo> lotuspsyche is this correct http://pastebin.com/B6KhvgxC
[04:40] <Mneuro> When I play a full screen game in Ubuntu 15.04 my mouse cursor flickers.  Does anyone know how to fix this?
[04:40] <kostkon> AssociateX, np
[04:40] <lotuspsychje> darkelfjuggalo: thats normal, can your system handle unity requierments? did you check your grafix card drivers?
[04:40] <lotuspsychje> Mneuro: you never answered my question
[04:41] <Mneuro> sorry i restarted, what was your questiuon
[04:41] <lotuspsychje> Mneuro: my bad, had wrong nick sorry: grafix card chipset + driver loaded please?
[04:41] <Mneuro> Nvidia GTX 960, Nvidia proprietary 346 driver
[04:41] <lotuspsychje> Mneuro: is that an optimus card?
[04:42] <darkelfjuggalo> I've been running ubuntu Unity on this machine since 12.10 ; it's been 14.04 since April 2014, and this issue just began 2 days ago
[04:42] <Mneuro> no it isn'
[04:42] <Mneuro> isn't*
[04:42] <lotuspsychje> darkelfjuggalo: is this an upgrade? or clean install?
[04:42] <lotuspsychje> Mneuro: did you try another driver from additional drivers list?
[04:42] <Mneuro> yea
[04:42] <Mneuro> but i think i might have fixed it
[04:42] <Mneuro> one minute
[04:43] <darkelfjuggalo> clean install on 12.10, upgrade to 14.04, and as i said it's been 14.04 for over a year now
[04:43] <Mneuro> no i didn't fix it
[04:43] <lotuspsychje> darkelfjuggalo: maybe its time to do a clean install 14.04.2 perhaps
[04:43] <darkelfjuggalo> but that doesn't explain why the issue began 2 days ago rather than a year ago
[04:44] <darkelfjuggalo> I can't back up my files fully...i have nothing big enough to put them on
[04:45] <lotuspsychje> darkelfjuggalo: try to echek your syslog and dmesg for errors
[04:45] <darkelfjuggalo> how do i check them?
[04:45] <sunny__> How to disable the web  secutiry in firefox
[04:46] <lotuspsychje> darkelfjuggalo: you can sue the logviewer icon from dash

[05:00] <lotuspsychje> darkelfjuggalo: you might wanna test out your hd for smart test also
[05:01] <lotuspsychje> darkelfjuggalo: too much dhcpd warnings, acpi warnings,memory warnings
[05:01] <darkelfjuggalo> ok so try this... what is a good Zip or Rar compression software to use so that I might back up everything i need to keep?
[05:02] <darkelfjuggalo> and how do i check the hd?
[05:02] <Ben64> tar, rar, zip, gzip, bzip2...
[05:03] <darkelfjuggalo> ben64 ; i don't know how to do it in command line... i suck at command line, aside from neccessities like killall and apt-get, without step by step walkthrough and this is too tedious for that
[05:04] <lotuspsychje> darkelfjuggalo: you can do a smart test with disk tools ubuntu
[05:04] <lotuspsychje> !backup | darkelfjuggalo read up
[05:04] <Geo2b2> Hey guys. Is there anyway to change the Terminal Shortcut from ctrl + alt T, to anything else? I've checked the keyboard shortcuts on both terminal and the system. I've also tried to make my own shortcut but it failed.
[05:05] <Ben64> darkelfjuggalo: 'man <command>' it isn't that hard
[05:06] <darkelfjuggalo> lotusphycheje ; SMART data & Self-Test?
[05:07] <lotuspsychje> darkelfjuggalo: yes
[05:09] <darkelfjuggalo> before tests it says Disk is OK, 8 bad sectors and running 102F
[05:09] <darkelfjuggalo> but im running and it says interupted
[05:12] <lotuspsychje> darkelfjuggalo: bad sectors and IO warnings in syslog sint very good news, backup as you can and try a fresh ubuntu install on another hd perhaps
[05:12] <darkelfjuggalo> conveyence test not supported, extended interupted, short running now
[05:12] <darkelfjuggalo> i dont have another HD and no money to buy one
[05:13] <darkelfjuggalo> short was also interupted
[05:13] <lotuspsychje> darkelfjuggalo: sorry mate, installing a fresh ubuntu on a hd with IO and bad sectors wont help you much either
[05:14] <lotuspsychje> darkelfjuggalo: you can try fresh, until your hd is real dead for sure
[05:15] <darkelfjuggalo> for over a year the fan wasn't working at all, and it would over heat... the same fan works now but it's in hyperdrive and dispurtivly loud for both my work and my personal time on this computer...woud that cause, or be a side evffect of the hd problems?
[05:17] <lotuspsychje> darkelfjuggalo: just make your life easy, and reinstall ubuntu fresh, then check your logs again from there
[05:18] <lotuspsychje> darkelfjuggalo: theres much you can do: test hd, test memory,update bios,open up your pc and vacuum,reinstall ubuntu fresh
[05:18] <darkelfjuggalo> laptop
[05:18] <lotuspsychje> darkelfjuggalo: ok vacuum laptop fan also
[05:19] <lotuspsychje> darkelfjuggalo: time for action :p
[05:19] <Geo2b2> Does anyone know if it's possible to change the terminal keyboard shortcut from "CTRL + ALT + T" to a custom command? I've looked in the terminal keyboard shortcuts and the system shortcuts, but i can't find anything that will let me do that. I also tried creating my own shortcut, which would lead to the terminal opening, but not closing on the same shortcut key. So that resulted in another terminal opening every time i pressed it.
[05:19] <darkelfjuggalo> ok
[05:20] <darkelfjuggalo> can't deal with that now, everyone is asleep... the tests couldn't complete, i tried all three types, how do i test memory?
[05:20] <darkelfjuggalo> how do i update bios?
[05:21] <lotuspsychje> darkelfjuggalo: memtest at boot
[05:21] <nurfee> you're getting close to the similarity
[05:22] <darkelfjuggalo> i did memtest, for over 5 hours with no errors and it repeating the same thing more than once[ went through 8 tests, next thing i know it says text 5 again...i stopped after it was on 8 again]

[05:30] <BuzzardBuzz> yes windows can get a virus much faster than unbuntu
[05:30] <asdffffff> wine could be better.
[05:30] <nurfee> Geo2b2: Must be a key assigner somewhere, never used it.
[05:30] <asdffffff> why dont they just merge and get it over with.

[05:30] <asdffffff> and im not trolling.
[05:31] <BuzzardBuzz> sorry :)

[05:32] <Geo2b2> nurfee, well i tried to make my own shortcut using the keyboard shorcut options, but i can't get it to toggle, like other terminal emulators. If i click the shortcut again it will just continuously open terminals
[05:32] <darkelfjuggalo> i know i know, lotus
[05:33] <asdffffff> lets own windows and call it ubuntu from now on?

[05:57] <trijntje> I've lost access to an encrypted home folder. I have a backup of all files, what is the best way to 'restore' that user so I can use that account again?
[06:02] <trijntje> how can I make a user with a specified uid? Or chance the UID of an existing user?
[06:08] <fullstack> sounds he was like IRCUII
[06:09] <murcha> in ubuntu in /mnt folder when i apply ls "ls: cannot access backupdisk: Input/output error". Any idea?
[06:12] <fullstack> murcha, might be a physical error or something , check dmesg by typing 'dmesg'
[06:14] <murcha> fullstack: thanks! i checked there is an error  "nfs: server <ip_address> not responding, timed out"
[06:15] <murcha> fullstack: from other server there is no any problem with the same configuration.

[06:22] <Geo2b2> Hey again guys. I was wondering if anyone can tell me what i am doing wrong with the command 'wget'. I am trying to download a large file from mega, but it's not working.Here is what i typed 'wget -O filename.mkv *link to mega download*. After that it just downloads the file in less than 10 seconds and says its finished, which is impossible since the file is over 4gb. I checked my downloads and that file doesn't work. Anyone know what i'm doing wrong?
[06:22] <fullstack> Geo2b2, I think mega uses a bunch of javascript and the link might be bogus
[06:23] <trijntje> Kartagis: is there a way to do that from a live system? I can login since I lost my user password with encrypted home
[06:23] <trijntje> *cant
[06:23] <Geo2b2> fullstack, the link i have used before on windows, and it worked fine
[06:23] <Kartagis> trijntje: edit /etc/passwd then
[06:23] <fullstack> Geo2b2,  then try putting single quotes around the link
[06:24] <fullstack> Geo2b2,  wget 'http://mega.com/aaklsdfjaflskd&!@#&*(!@&#(*!@&&7!&!&!&!!&'
[06:24] <fullstack> Geo2b2, the & are probably screwing things up
[06:24] <trijntje> Kartagis: that wont work, since that wont update the encryption password
[06:25] <Kartagis> I've got this 3TB USB HDD, for which syslog says very big device and gparted says unallocated. is there any way I can make it work?
[06:25] <Geo2b2> fullstack, That's what i have been doing, because originally it wouldn't work and give me an error, so the single quote is what i tried after, it didn't give me an error, it just downloaded straight away and didn't work
[06:25] <fullstack> Geo2b2, check the URL in a incognito browser and see if it downloads it
[06:25] <Kartagis> trijntje: I *think* you can use mkpasswd and use that to edit /etc/passwd-
[06:26] <cuqa> hello, is http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/linux-image-3.13.0-55-generic a stable kernel?
[06:27] <Geo2b2> fullstack, you mean download through wget while the browser is in incognito? Or through the browser
[06:27] <Geo2b2> - directly
[06:27] <nurfee> cuqa: Should be, why?
[06:27] <cuqa> just curious
[06:27] <fullstack> Geo2b2,  no.. your URL could be bad. Try testing the URL by pasting it into a browser and seeing if it actually is a good link
[06:27] <cuqa> because the system freezes often apparently
[06:28] <cuqa> but no reason can be seen for the freezes
[06:28] <nurfee> kernel is an awfully big target
[06:28] <Geo2b2> fullstack, I could do that, but it probably wont let me download, because if you go pat 2gbs (i think), they wont let you download unless you have a firefox mega add on. Which i think is not open source.
[06:28] <trijntje> Kartagis: AFAIK only the graphical user config tool updates the encryption keys when you change passwords. I think ill just do a reinstall, thats probably faster
[06:29] <Kartagis> probably
[06:29] <fullstack> Geo2b2, yeah I think the URL isn't a real direct link. You could try hittin gup google for "how to direct link  from mega"
[06:29] <fullstack> Geo2b2, If I remember I think MEGA does encryption INSIDE the browser and requires all sorts of Javascript special stuff
[06:30] <Geo2b2> fullstack, Oh, so all mega links are like that and can't be used through wget?
[06:30] <fullstack> Geo2b2, and if I remember Mega never serves the actual file just the encrypted version.. which is decrypted in the browser. But I haven't used it in a while
[06:31] <fullstack> Geo2b2, you might be able to find some kind of Node.js module that can do something like wget for mega
[06:31] <owen1> lotuspsychje: how can i see the syslog if everything in the terminal is invisible?
[06:31] <Geo2b2> fullstack, I'm a noob and only started using linux this week, lol. Sorry, but what do you mean by node.js module?
[06:32] <fullstack> Geo2b2, if you know node.js you could use this module https://www.npmjs.com/package/mega to write a program to get the file
[06:33] <fullstack> Geo2b2, but you should juse download the file in a browser if you don't..  :)
[06:33] <antonio_> im about to reinstall ubuntu....how can I backup my firefox?
[06:34] <hateball> antonio_: save the ~/.mozilla/ folder
[06:34] <antonio_> ah ok
[06:34] <antonio_> then just copy it over?
[06:34] <Geo2b2> fullstack, I don't know node.js unfortunately, lol. I would download through browser, but im pretty sure mega prompts you if it's a download over 2gb and says you need an add on to be able to download it. The add on isn't open source. Isn't that a bad thing?
[06:34] <hateball> Yep
[06:38] <lotuspsychje> owen1: can you still enter nautilus?
[06:39] <Kartagis> I've got this 3TB USB HDD, for which syslog says very big device and gparted says unallocated. is there any way I can make it work?
[06:40] <trijntje> Kartagis: what do you mean with make it work?
[06:40] <Kartagis> trijntje: access it
[06:41] <ObrienDave> why is it unallocated? have you ever used it?
[06:41] <owen1> lotuspsychje: i should be able to. why? to view syslog?
[06:41] <Haris> hello all
[06:42] <Haris> is ubuntu-14.10-server-amd64.iso bootable ? I'v added it as cd/dvd in vmware, to be connected on power on, but when I power on the VM, I don't get the menu off of this bootable ISO. I get the standard grub menu for boot off of disk
[06:42] <Kartagis> ObrienDave: yea, it was working before I switched a few other distros and came back to my beloved ubuntu, which I have been using since hardy
[06:42] <Haris> already asked this in #vmware. no constructive response yet
[06:43] <ObrienDave> Kartagis, have you tried it under windows? it's really strange it reports unallocated
[06:43] <mini> hi
[06:44] <Kartagis> no, not yet
[06:44] <Haris> I need to recover root password on this VM, to go about my business. I can't do that without booting successfully off of the ISO image
[06:44] <trijntje> Kartagis: I'd guess it got corrupted somehow, unless you can open it on windows or another operating system
[06:44] <Kartagis> I haven't got access to a windows atm
[06:45] <trijntje> Kartagis: it could be gpt, I'm not sure if gparted can read that
[06:45] <Kartagis> trijntje: how do I check whether it's GPT?
[06:45] <ObrienDave> yea, 3TB requires GPT. gparted should be able to read it
[06:46] <Kartagis> http://paste.debian.net/265230/ <--- does this help? fdisk -l output
[06:46] <ObrienDave> i would recommend running chkdsk in windows before you lose anything on the drive
[06:48] <ObrienDave> it looks valid. why gparted says unallocated is beyond me
[06:51] <antonio_> is there any way to force Ubuntu to use a wireless connection when installing ubuntu 14.04  Its not allowing me to use a wifi connection when I try.
[06:52] <darwin> hi, I did a release upgrade to 1404 and now my python3 is totally hosed, giving me : "ImportError: /collections.so: undefined symbol: _Py_ZeroStruct" whenever I try to reinstall python3...
[06:53] <Haris> got it

[07:34] <th34lch3m1st> I'm on 14.04.2 and I want to edit my 50-synaptics.conf because my touchpad hard button does not work. I've followed several tutorials (askubuntu, ubuntu.com) in many of which suggest to edit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf or make a copy in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf. Quote from 50-synaptics.conf: "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE, your distribution will likely overwrite it when updating. Copy (and rename)
[07:34] <th34lch3m1st> this file into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d first." I have no [xorg.conf.d] folder in /etc/X11/, so should I create that folder or I just have to edit the one in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ ?
[07:36] <almark> talesnb there's chkrootkit
[07:37] <XolYnrac> th34lch3m1st, what do you think that you touchpad need some special  configuration ?
[07:38] <th34lch3m1st> XolYnrac: hard buttons (left click and right click) doesn't work.
[07:39] <XolYnrac> before ?
[07:40] <th34lch3m1st> XolYnrac: I have one finger click and two finger click, no hard buttons click. Fresh install (3 days)
[07:40] <talesnb> almark
[07:40] <talesnb> I want to create a hidden User
[07:41] <talesnb> which rootkit you indicate
[07:41] <talesnb> only for study
[07:41] <k1l> talesnb: what means hidden?
[07:41] <XolYnrac> what environment you have?
[07:42] <talesnb> ubuntu
[07:43] <k1l> talesnb: in short: if you want to test and study the security features: go and read the docs and study it. but we cant help here on illegal issues.
[07:44] <talesnb> understand
[07:45] <javnut> how can I get nautilus to show image dimensions in it's column?
[07:47] <th34lch3m1st> XolYnrac: xinput list-props "SYN1EDE:00 06CB:7442" | grep Capabilities gives me Synaptics Capabilities (298):	1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0 which means (first 1 and third 1) that I have two physical buttons.

[08:02] <VanessaE> google is proving fruitless....  is there some way to disable this irritating "smooth scroll" effect in gedit 3.10.4 (as included in *ubuntu 15.04) ?
[08:02] <aeon-ltd> gconf somewhere?
[08:03] <VanessaE> aeon-ltd: I've seen the term used here and there but I do not know what it is (particularly in this context)
[08:05] <aeon-ltd> gconf editor is a program that handles a lot of gnome application configurations
[08:05] <trijntje> I just did a fresh install of 14.04.2 64bit but now I cant upgrade: http://pastebin.com/FWENQCeE
[08:05] <javnut> jpds: thanks
[08:06] <aeon-ltd> VanessaE: 'gconf-editor' is the name of the application, type that in a launcher or terminal
[08:06] <VanessaE> got it open now.
[08:06] <aeon-ltd> ok
[08:07] <VanessaE> nothing useful there.
[08:09] <sweet21> i have installed ubuntu 12.04 in mac desktop but sound via earphone doesnt work but  internal speakers work perfect any help please?
[08:11] <aeon-ltd> sweet21: is it muted in alsamixr
[08:11] <aeon-ltd> ?
[08:11] <aeon-ltd> *alsamixer
[08:14] <sweet21> aeon-ltd: how can i check wether it is muted in alsamixer
[08:15] <fuwan> Alright I have this line: ifconfig eth0 | perl -nE '/(?<=inet addr:)(\d+.\d+.\d+.\d+)/ and print $1' ### which works perfectly fine on the cli but whenever I run it from a cronjob, it will say: ifconfig: command not found
[08:16] <ObrienDave> trijntje, use apt-get dist-upgrade
[08:16] <ObrienDave> trijntje, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[08:17] <fuwan> hmm nvm, I think I found the solution :)
[08:31] <pz3Gull> Hi, Everyone!
[08:32] <trijntje> ObrienDave: I've rebooted and that seemed to have fixed the problem, I haven't been able to test your solution
[08:33] <antonio___> Hey folks
[08:34] <pz3Gull> Does anyone know where I could download the original Radiance theme's folder ?
[08:34] <antonio___> Is this the official ubuntu chat?  Using irc on my phone..hard to tell
[08:35] <trijntje> antonio___: it is
[08:35] <trijntje> pz3Gull: apt-get download?
[08:35] <antonio___> Thanks
[08:35] <bojan> I want to configure a mail server in ubuntu...Any guiding materials??
[08:36] <antonio___> I just did a fresh install install of Ubuntu.  I need to access wifi so I can start downloading stuff.  Only problem is I can't access a wifi connection.
[08:36] <pz3Gull> @trijntje, the theme's folder isn't a package, is it ?
[08:37] <barq> I get the error W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net trusty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY C2518248EEA14886 when doing apt-get update. How can I fix this?
[08:37] <trijntje> pz3Gull: no, but if you open the .deb with file-roller (archive manager), you'll probably find the theme folder in there
[08:39] <m0e42> @bojan: http://bfy.tw/ZF6
[08:39] <pz3Gull> @antonio, You should looking for an additional pilot, into your settings
[08:40] <pz3Gull> @trijntje, Thanks, I will do it!
[08:50] <antonio___> pz3Gull: what's a pilot and how do I do that?
[08:51] <pz3Gull> @antonio, Sorry, I think the right translation in English is "driver"
[08:52] <antonio___> Ah...does anyone know of anything I can do to get my Wifi working? Im guessing Ill have to use a terminal set of commands to diagnose the problem

[08:55] <anonyme55> Je cherche un site WEB pour apprendre le systeme d'exploitation Linux
[08:59] <gier_do> hi antonio! we need a bit more information about your system. what wifi card are you trying to get to work?
[09:00] <antonio___> gier_do: the built in one...not sure what kind
[09:01] <ObrienDave> trijntje, glad it's working for you
[09:01] <gier_do> antonio___: :)
[09:02] <gier_do> antonio___: this information was not helpful. built into what laptop? do you have a serial number? make of the laptop (I guess it's a laptop)?
[09:03] <antonio___> gier_do: its an inspiron laptop (Dell)
[09:04] <cfhowlett> antonio___, model number?
[09:04] <antonio___> Inspiron 1545 gier_do
[09:04] <cfhowlett> antonio___, I got this.  if you have the ubuntu USB you can enable the broadcom wifi via terminal
[09:05] <cfhowlett> antonio___, or you can get the Linux STA drivers from http://www.broadcom.com/support/?gid=1
[09:05] <antonio___> cfhowlett: I've got an install cd
[09:06] <cfhowlett> antonio___, 14.04??
[09:06] <antonio___> Can I download them and just install them?
[09:07] <cfhowlett> antonio___  they're on the USB
[09:07] <antonio___> I don't have the ubuntu u.can I just copy the drivers over?
[09:08] <cfhowlett> antonio___, get the ubuntu .iso
[09:08] <cfhowlett> or CD
[09:08] <antonio___> The installation CD?
[09:09] <cfhowlett> antonio___, this method references ubuntu 12.04.  some files have been removed from 14.04 but functionality is built into the kernel.  skip the files you can't find.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#STA_-_No_Internet_access

[09:30] <tete_> hi, i am facing some serious problems with my R9 280x (ati driver). i get black screens with segfaults after couple of hours working ... someone else having such problems?
[09:31] <tete_> http://pastebin.com/HfMkk7xr
[09:33] <lotuspsychje> tete_: wich ubuntu version?
[09:33] <tete_> 15.04
[09:34] <lotuspsychje> tete_: you could try a 14.04.2 liveusb to see if that fixes it
[09:34] <tete_> the problem is that this occurs just random... i *guess* it has something to do with firefox and flash which causes a crash in X
[09:35] <lotuspsychje> tete_: if you need more stable try LTS version
[09:35] <lotuspsychje> tete_: no other grafix drivers show up additional driver list?
[09:36] <tete_> i have 3 in the list
[09:36] <tete_> xserver-xorg-video-ati, fglrx and fglrx-updates
[09:37] <tete_> now i am using fglrx-updates
[09:37] <lotuspsychje> tete_: did youn try others and reboot, to see if they perform better?
[09:37] <tete_> the problem is that i have a 144hz monitor and the others can absolutly not handle that
[09:37] <tete_> the others have even problems with 120hz
[09:38] <tete_> i will switch the driver to see if it still crashes...
[09:38] <lotuspsychje> tete_: wich driver did ubuntu choose by default?
[09:38] <tete_> i guess the regular one, the xorg ati driver
[09:39] <tete_> brb
[09:40] <tete_> its using now 77hz ... wtf - is there some way to change that?
[09:44] <b52_> #ubuntu
[09:47] <pkull> It seems that I ran out of memory on an EC2 server: http://pastebin.com/u6R5x35Q with error message -bash: cannot create temp file for here-document: No space left on device Can anyone tell me what's going on and how to approach the situation?
[09:47] <tete_> the regular driver can not handle 144hz, stuck at 77hz at 1920x1080, guess there is no way around that
[09:47] <tete_> xrandr --output DVI-D-0 --mode 1920x1080 --rate 144

[09:48] <ikonia> pkull: you've ran out of disk space, add more disk/clear space down
[09:48] <tete_> pkull, check with "df"
[09:49] <tete_> oh sorry, did not check your pastebin :)
[09:50] <tete_> pkull, in that case i would do a: cd / && for I in *; do du -sh $I; done
[09:50] <tete_> and check if /home or such are using too much
[09:51] <EriC^^> or du -sh /*

[10:06] <[976497]A> Hi, I'd like to join or create a team of enthusiastic, flexible, helpful and experienced programmers. Share with me what do you think about it, please.
[10:06] <EriC^^> ill brb tete_
[10:06] <EriC^^> it'll work
[10:07] <cfhowlett> [976497]A, first thought: wrong channel.  try #ubuntu-offtopic.  thanks.
[10:08] <EriC^^> tete_: xrandr --addmode default 1920x1080x144
[10:08] <[976497]A> cfhowlett: oh, yes. sorry :)
[10:08] <tete_> EriC^^, xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default

[10:10] <pHuNk3r5> hey I've got ubuntu in virtualbox but it's complaining the hdd is full.  I used virtuals vboxmanage to increase the HDD to 20gb, however, ubuntu still states that the hdd is full.  Any ideas how to get ubuntu to recognise the increased hdd?
[10:10] <tete_> EriC^^, same again: xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
[10:10] <cfhowlett> pHuNk3r5, sudo apt-get autoremove to clear out old kernels.
[10:12] <pHuNk3r5> cfhowlett, okay done that and restarted but still getting the same error
[10:13] <kostkon> pHuNk3r5, check the output of  df -h
[10:13] <cfhowlett> pHuNk3r5, grr.  OK, then, officially over my head.  sorry.  ask again in channel; someone more informed than I will certainly know.
[10:14] <pHuNk3r5> cfhowlett, cheers anyway.  kostkon, /dev/sda1 size-6.3gb used-5.9gb use 100%
[10:15] <EriC^^> tete_: which graphics card and driver are you using?
[10:15] <EriC^^> tete_: lspci -k | grep -A2 VGA
[10:16] <kostkon> pHuNk3r5, now you know. The resize didn't work.
[10:16] <tete_> http://pastebin.com/jkKQbw8d
[10:16] <tete_> EriC^^, interesting, it says fglrx but i switched from fglrx to the open driver
[10:16] <pHuNk3r5> virtualbox says it worked but ubuntu hasnt recognised it.  So I was wondering how to make ubuntu recognise it
[10:16] <EriC^^> tete_: did you reboot?
[10:16] <tete_> yes
[10:17] <EriC^^> type dpkg -l | grep fglrx
[10:17] <EriC^^> how did you install the amd one?
[10:17] <kostkon> pHuNk3r5, did you really resize the partition or added a new partition?
[10:17] <kostkon> pHuNk3r5, a new disk that is
[10:17] <cfhowlett> pHuNk3r5, a thought, you resized.  did you then activate/add the additional space?  with gparted?
[10:18] <pHuNk3r5> (VBoxManage modifyhd YOUR_HARD_DISK.vdi --resize SIZE_IN_MB) -- that's the command I did
[10:18] <pHuNk3r5> cfhowlett, yeah I ain't done that, I was wondering how
[10:18] <kostkon> pHuNk3r5, didn't work. Simple as that
[10:18] <tete_> EriC^^, http://pastebin.com/RftxPQfD
[10:18] <EriC^^> pHuNk3r5: you need to expand the partition, then the filesystem
[10:18] <tete_> to be honest, i can not remember how i installed them...
[10:18] <EriC^^> pHuNk3r5: type sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999
[10:19] <EriC^^> tete_: try sudo apt-get purge fglrx*
[10:19] <pHuNk3r5> kostkon, http://i.imgur.com/VSNuDNc.png
[10:19] <EriC^^> tete_: then sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-{ati,radeon}
[10:21] <EriC^^> pHuNk3r5: you made the disk 20gb?
[10:21] <kostkon> pHuNk3r5, run gparted as EriC^^ suggested. You might need to resize the partition.
[10:21] <pHuNk3r5> EriC^^, termbin.com/uyka
[10:21] <tete_> EriC^^, ok, will just reboot
[10:22] <EriC^^> pHuNk3r5: can you boot a live .iso ?
[10:22] <pHuNk3r5> yeah sure thing
[10:23] <EriC^^> pHuNk3r5: you need to boot an .iso to have a live session, and then run gparted and expand the first partition
[10:24] <pHuNk3r5> EriC^^, thanks I'll try that now
[10:24] <cfhowlett> pHuNk3r5, change your virtualbox settings to boot the ubuntu .iso.  start gparted.  resize the partition.  reset vbox to boot the ubuntu hdd.
[10:24] <pHuNk3r5> cfhowlett, thanks
[10:24] <tete_> EriC^^, thanks, its working now with 144hz and radeon driver
[10:24] <EriC^^> pHuNk3r5: you need to resize the filesystem as well
[10:25] <EriC^^> pHuNk3r5: not sure if gparted does that for you, if it doesn't you need to use resize2fs to expand it
[10:25] <EriC^^> tete_: great
[10:25] <Johnny_Linux> woohoo
[10:26] <Johnny_Linux> i run ati also, work waaaay better than any other ive had, glmark2 reports 100%
[10:37] <pehlert> Hey folks. I created a desktop file for a python script which opens a window using tk. When I click the launcher, it starts the script, but creates a new icon in the launcher instead of just marking the existing one as "launched" (adding that little dot).. Is there anything I'm missing here?
[10:45] <tete_> Johnny_Linux, i dont play on linux
[10:45] <tete_> i need it to work
[10:45] <Johnny_Linux> all work and no play makes johnny a dull boy
[10:46] <tete_> lol
[10:46] <kostkon> pehlert, there should be some calls in tk that will help the DE make the connectiob between the two, window and icon, like setting a window title, app name if possible, etc.
[10:46] <pehlert> kostkon: So what exactly needs to match? The window title should match, I'm not sure about app name
[10:48] <m0e42> @Johnny_Linux: playonlinux and steam are best spots for playing on linux
[10:51] <tete_> Johnny_Linux, but you dont work in a motel, dont you? :P
[10:51] <kostkon> pehlert, not match per se, just make sure you've set a window title. Have you set the icon in tk or in your desktop file?
[10:53] <kostkon> pehlert, actually the icon it's irrelevant. In reality, your DE does not make the connection between the desktop file and the window.
[10:53] <O_Andrew> Is 3072 Bytes per frame too much for a usb hub to hundle?
[10:53] <O_Andrew> s/hundle/handle/
[10:54] <kostkon> pehlert, but i'm guessing setting the icon in TK would at least show the same icon for the '.' window as well
[10:58] <bwm> Will I continue to get security updates for openjdk7 on 14.04?  openjdk7 is at end of life and there will be no more updates.  So I assume that means no more security updates, even if there is a major problem.  I'm trying to figure out if I have to upgrade our servers to openjdk-8 and if so how, given openjdk-8 is not in 14.04 standard repositories.

[11:11] <bushmaster> not sure how to install it
[11:11] <Rubas> "x running" means how many processes are currently running.
[11:13] <O_Andrew> Uvcvideo is causing me so much trouble :/. Are there any alternatives to it?

[11:36] <O_Andrew> cfhowlett: these still require the uvcvideo driver though D:
[11:37] <cfhowlett> O_Andrew, false.  vlc is pretty self-sufficient so far as drivers are concerned.
[11:38] <cfhowlett> I have both of those packages and no uvcvideo
[11:38] <cfhowlett> see for yourself with apt-cache show vlc or mplayer
[11:39] <O_Andrew> VLC is unable to open the MRL 'v4l2:///dev/video0'. Check the log for details
[11:39] <O_Andrew> meanwhile at dmesg = uvcvideo: No fast enough alt setting for requested bandwidth.
[11:40] <cfhowlett> O_Andrew, eh.  okay, over my head. sorry
[11:41] <O_Andrew> no prob:) vlc is self-sufficient when it comes to codecs. by the way
[11:44] <O_Andrew> I made a threat summarizing my issue here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2284237 But it seems like im the first one to get something like this, and googling for the error just finds me actual code

[11:56] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all

[13:13] <TiZ> Hi there. I've got a really strange problem with my work computer. Something is strange with the port it's connected to, and it always insists it's unplugged even when it is. Is it possible for me to override link detection somehow?
[13:13] <root_> cfhowlett:- dpkg status database is locked by another process when i use sudo dpkg -i commmand
[13:14] <EriC^^> !aptlock | root_
[13:14] <EriC^^> root_: is software center closed and another terminal using apt/dpkg ?
[13:14] <EriC^^> root_: update manager maybe?
[13:18] <root_> software center is closed
[13:18] <eraggo> root_: update-manager may be running background
[13:18] <TiZ_> Sorry, I got disconnected somehow! I'll ask again; I have a strange thing with my ethernet port at work where the connection will work just fine all the way up to a reboot, and then it can't detect the link anymore. Is it possible for me to override link detection?
[13:19] <root_> eraggo: how do i stop update manager
[13:19] <EriC^^> root_: type ps aux | grep dpkg | nc termbin.com 9999 and paste here
[13:19] <cfhowlett> root_, follow the aptlock link you got earlier
[13:22] <root_> thank all
[13:24] <pbx> in my launcher (unity, 14.04), i have chrome pinned to position #8. most of the time it works sometimes, but sometimes a page opened in chrome by another app spawns another instance. where might this inconsistency be coming from?
[13:26] <eraggo> pbx: Are you sure there is no chromium(blueish logo) and chrome(reddish logo) installed at same time?
[13:31] <pbx> eraggo, just chrome
[13:33] <Radon_3> hi folks i am trying to control a friend's system for them from remote. Which is the best safest most stable way to do this? I am going to updtae her system and install some applications that she might need
[13:33] <Radon_3> I know about ssh and teamviewer like applications
[13:33] <Radon_3> but I like to know your expert ideas
[13:35] <demhlyr> both options are fine. if you dont need to see any graphical interfaces, ssh might be faster/easier for you
[13:35] <Radon_3> fellas?
[13:35] <cfhowlett> !patience | Radon_3
[13:36] <Radon_3>  demhlyr: which one is the most secure, cause I don't need possible introsions, and then she thinking that I did something to her system...
[13:36] <Radon_3> *introsions = intrusion
[13:36] <hateball> Radon_3: SSH
[13:36] <Radon_3> oh, btw both systems are running ubuntu
[13:37] <demhlyr> if the problem is trust issues with her, i'd say teamviewer. she will have a button to abort it easily
[13:37] <demhlyr> just saying...
[13:37] <Radon_3> hateball : thanks, so I will ask her to make me an ssh account. thanks
[13:37] <hateball> Radon_3: If you set up SSH with keybased auth and disable password auth then only the one with the key (you) will be able to log in
[13:37] <Radon_3> oh... and can she see what I am doing?
[13:37] <Radon_3> by using teamviewer i mean?
[13:37] <demhlyr> yes
[13:38] <Radon_3> cool, then i think it is better to go with teamviwewer
[13:38] <demhlyr> teamviewer behaves as if you would be sitting on her pc basically
[13:38] <Radon_3> cause the last thing i need is a mistrusting friend
[13:38] <eraggo> pbx: i had similar issue few nights back. I think google has knowledge about it and may be working on it
[13:38] <przemytriel> Hello Guys how to enable mod_expires on ubuntu 12?
[13:42] <eraggo> pbx: if you need to join 2 windows together you can always drag tabs between them
[13:49] <Pici> przemytriel: sudo a2enmod expires
[13:50] <przemytriel> Pici:  Thanks, is apache restart is required?
[13:50] <Pici> przemytriel: it may be.
[13:51] <przemytriel> Ok thanks dude
[13:51] <TotalMadness1> Would I be able to get some help?
[13:52] <pbx> eraggo, thanks for the replies. the possibility that it's a chrome issue (vs just me being incompetent with launcher) is good enough for me now
[13:52] <cfhowlett> !ask | TotalMadness1,
[13:55] <daniel__> have new tv monitor and have connected via hdmi but dont have clear HD desktop!! picture looks grainy any suggestions?
[13:55] <daniel__> have the propriety fglrx-updates driver installed
[13:55] <EriC^^> danieltype xrandr -q | nc termbin.com 9999
[13:57] <TotalMadness1> I have an HDD that is giving me an error of NTFS signature is missing, what can I do to fix this and access what's on the drive?
[13:57] <EriC^^> TotalMadness1: what's the exact error?
[13:57] <TotalMadness1> Do you want me to paste the entire text?
[13:58] <daniel__> have the propriety fglrx-updates driver installed
[13:58] <cfhowlett> !pastebinit | TotalMadness1,
[13:59] <daniel__> EriC^^, i get a http address back
[14:00] <TotalMadness1> I don't know if I did this right; http://paste.ubuntu.com/11793236/
[14:00] <eraggo>  have chrome pinned to position #8. most of the time it
[14:00] <eraggo> oops
[14:01] <eraggo> Can i disable middle mouse button pasting somehow? :S
[14:02] <eraggo> since that wasn't first time i accidentally clicked it on terminal
[14:03] <daniel__> EriC^^, i get a http address back
[14:04] <OerHeks> daniel__, that is oke, paste the url here
[14:05] <daniel__> OerHeks, http://termbin.com/8351
[14:06] <daniel__> OerHeks, bare in mind i have set up the correct resolution on the HDTV monitor just looks real grainy
[14:09] <Superpelican_> [13:49:15] <Superpelican_> however the installation hangs at the step where it partitions the / partition
[14:09] <Superpelican_> [13:49:26] <Superpelican_> I have already rebooted it once and tried again
[14:09] <Superpelican_> [13:49:30] <Superpelican_> but now it's hanging again
[14:09] <Superpelican_> [13:49:43] <Superpelican_> (it hangs at 33%)
[14:09] <Superpelican_> an answer on AskUbuntu suggested checking the integrity of the .iso
[14:10] <Superpelican_> but I can't seem to find the md5 sum for mini.iso
[14:10] <gp5st> I have a 1-disk system atm. I want to add a second disk; what is the best way to create a raid-1 array?
[14:10] <cfhowlett> !raid | gp5st
[14:11] <MACscr> the grub graphics mode. Is that just for the grub menu or does that affect the resolution once you get to the text only login prompt? The default resolution for console from my ip kvm just seems way to long. Hard to read output from commands like ifconfig, etc. have to use "less" each time
[14:11] <mtn> Superpelican_, have you tried doing the partitioning using gparted on the live disk?
[14:12] <Superpelican_> mtn: There is no live disk, because it's a minimal install iso
[14:13] <daniel__> OerHeks, http://termbin.com/60zy this is on the monitor with grainyness
[14:13] <Superpelican_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[14:13] <mtn> Superpelican_, there are several commmand line partitioners, or get a good live disk that has gparted, if you prefer a gui partioner, which might be easier
[14:13] <Superpelican_> okay, will try that
[14:14] <Superpelican_> But I how do I know that there isn't something wrong with this Ubuntu version on this netbook?
[14:14] <mtn> Superpelican_, wrong in what way?
[14:14] <Superpelican_> ah the checksum is listed on the community wiki page
[14:15] <Superpelican_> well something that isn't related to the partitioning itself
[14:15] <mtn> Superpelican_, oh, you mean something wrong with the iso you are using? yes, check it out with the checksum
[14:16] <gp5st> cfhowlett: my qustion was not how to set up raid. my question was how to turn an existing single disk into a raid array.
[14:16] <Superpelican_> well no
[14:16] <Superpelican_> that wasn't what I meant
[14:16] <cfhowlett> gp5s.t, sorry for confusing the issue
[14:16] <Superpelican_> but never mind I just checked the sum
[14:16] <Superpelican_> and it differs!
[14:16] <Superpelican_> so something is wrong with the ISO
[14:20] <Superpelican_> mtn: Downloaded mini.iso again, but the checksum differs again
[14:20] <Superpelican_> but it's the same as the last ISO!
[14:20] <mtn> Superpelican_, no idea. maybe use a different iso?
[14:24] <cfhowlett> Superpelican_, are you direct downloading??
[14:24] <Superpelican_> yes
[14:24] <dan_8> hello
[14:24] <cfhowlett> Superpelican_, stop that.  use torrents
[14:24] <Superpelican_> Are there torrents for the minimal ISO?
[14:24] <Superpelican_> Because they aren't listed on the community wiki page
[14:24] <Superpelican_> of which I posted the link
[14:25] <dan_8> hello, I'm Dan and this is my first Linux :D
[14:27] <cfhowlett> Superpelicant, not seeing the torrent - shocked at that
[14:27] <daniel__> can anyone help with grainy graphics problem on HDTV monitor? ati (proprietary) driver flgrx-updates in use just thought the screen should be clear
[14:28] <jamescarr> Silly question... I need to logrotate some logs but it looks like the app is logging the date too
[14:28] <jamescarr> I mean
[14:28] <jamescarr> each logfile is something like app.log.20150628
[14:28] <jamescarr> can logtrotate cleanup the oldest ones or will I need to cron clean them?
[14:42] <Guest26436> giorno a tutta la chat
[14:42] <MACscr> when doing vlans in ubuntu, does the physical interface have be be up first before i can assign a vlan to it? Im just trying to do basic testing right now
[14:45] <cfhowlett> !it | Guest26436,
[14:52] <TotalMadness1> I have an HDD that has the error: NTFS signature not found. What do I do to fix it?
[14:56] <whiz> Yo
[14:58] <TotalMadness1> I have an HDD that has the error: NTFS signature not found. What do I do to fix it?
[14:59] <rtreleaven>  TotalMadness1 we heard you the first time
[14:59] <mtn> TotalMadness1, do you want to have it blank or fixed, somehow, saving the data?
[14:59] <TotalMadness1> THat's the issue. I need the data that's on it to restore a separate PC
[15:00] <mtn> TotalMadness1, I would suggest using a windows channel, or google, since it has nothing to do with linux
[15:01] <TotalMadness1> I was told earlier something about extra drivers being needed, but I had to fix a separate issue first, which distracted me.
[15:01] <darwin> anyone any idea how to resolve my totally munged python3 install on 14.04?

[15:02] <tomas_> hello, anybody has opengl 3.3 running?
[15:03] <RussianOrthodoxC> GT. I have read on ubuntu-site about upgrading 14.04.1 to 14.04.2 with command line (shell). I did all that. And now when I try to update the system I recieve - W: Error GPG: http://archive.ubuntu.com trusty Release: Следующие подписи неверные: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key<EMAIL_ADDRESS>What should I do?
[15:05] <RussianOrthodoxC> I upgrade trusty kernel and stack to -lts-utopic.
[15:08] <RussianOrthodoxC> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
[15:09] <RussianOrthodoxC> The 14.04.2 and newer point release will ship with an  updated kernel and X stack by default. If you have installed with older  media you can use the following to install the newer kernel from 14.10  (Utopic):
[15:09] <RussianOrthodoxC> sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-utopic xserver-xorg-lts-utopic libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-utopic libegl1-mesa-drivers-lts-utopic
[15:10] <RussianOrthodoxC> I did all that.

[15:59] <Superpelican_> mtn: Okay according to GParted there is a 9,31 GiB btrfs partition at /dev/sda1, a 288,78 GiB extended partition at /dev/sda2, in which a linux-swap partition of 1,46 GiB and an unknown 287,31 GiB partition are located

[16:00] <shudon> ah, fc-cache
[16:00] <Superpelican_> okay GParted has wiped the disk
[16:00] <tankerkiller125> Hello I have a major problem with my 15.04 install. I was using the propitiart AMD drivers. However they were causing an issue with one of my applications so I switched back to the open source ones. Now after reboot I get the following error: "starting version 219"
[16:00] <mtn> Superpelican_, if sda1 is your root, it is quite a bit too small, but shouldn't stop the install
[16:00] <Superpelican_> no, that is what currently is on the disk
[16:00] <Superpelican_> not why I chose during the installation
[16:00] <Superpelican_> during the installation I let it use the entire disk
[16:00] <mtn> Superpelican_, well, then it did not do any partioning at all
[16:00] <Superpelican_> and overwrite everything
[16:01] <Superpelican_> so looks like something is wrong with the partitioning tool used in Debian 8 and Ubuntu 15.04
[16:01] <eraggo> tankerkiller125: which graphics card are you using? Is your computer desktop or laptop?
[16:01] <mtn> Superpelican_, try repartioning to your desire using gparted from the live disk.
[16:01] <Superpelican_> because the latest GParted live cd has just wiped it
[16:01] <Superpelican_> and the CD apparently is based on Debian 4.0!!
[16:02] <Superpelican_> well not an actual CD
[16:02] <Superpelican_> but you get what I mean
[16:06] <tankerkiller125> eraggo: I have an AMD HD 6750, Desktop
[16:09] <Superpelican_> mtn: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/debian-hangs-on-formatting-stuck-@-33-a-925375/
[16:10] <Superpelican_> by the way I'm now trying again to install Debian 8.1
[16:10] <maelcum> hello. i'm evaluating on-screen keyboards. one of them is ubuntu-keyboard. has it been deprecated or something?
[16:10] <mtn> Superpelican_, the first thing that link suggests is using gparted from a live disk!!
[16:10] <maelcum> development has been slow since 2013, it's missing korean and japanese, and it's only in the universe repository.
[16:11] <eraggo> tankerkiller125: Do you have 32 or 64 bit system?
[16:12] <StevenXL> Hi everyone. I am running Ubuntu as a host in VMWare Player.
[16:12] <StevenXL> I would like to install open-vm-tools. I've already run "sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools", and that worked fined.
[16:12] <StevenXL> But now I don't know what else to do.
[16:12] <Superpelican_> mtn: Oh, it's a 320 GB HDD by the way, not 250 GB
[16:12] <N_ick> pbx: basically, what i need to display with cat is a webradio playlist (ascii) which is continuously refreshed. so cat's output is continuous. Cat's output is currently in advance over the audio i'm broadcasting so i need to add some delay to run in sync.
[16:13] <N_ick> sorry i don't really know how to explain in english.. :/
[16:13] <tankerkiller125> eraggo: 64bit. Unfortantly I can't actually fix it now (power just decided to fail on me) So my desktop is down for now. I will come back later when the power comes back.
[16:14] <Superpelican_> N_ick: Well you kind run some kind of script for that
[16:14] <Superpelican_> *could
[16:15] <linuxero> tarifa yoigo sin fin
[16:15] <eraggo> tankerkiller125: support.amd.com has very good search functionality to search drivers :) remember to choos x86_64 edition on the drivers
[16:15] <N_ick> yep, something like storing cat's output in a variable, sleep 3s, cat variable?
[16:15] <blz> Hello, I'm having trouble updating ca-certificates with a self-signed cert.  I suspect the problem is fairly simple, but I've detailed it here: http://askubuntu.com/q/642321/62958  Any thoughts/advice?
[16:15] <tankerkiller125> eraggo: Thanks I'll try that when the power comes back online.
[16:20] <AppAraat> hello, I'm installing the Ubuntu 14.04 netinstall, and there seems to be an issue with "live-installer" install component - http://imgur.com/a/H9wlr
[16:20] <AppAraat> the first and second pic are meant to go the other way around
[16:21] <abs25> hello
[16:21] <abs25> First time installing linux, which version should I go for?, 14.04.2 or 15.04?
[16:21] <N_ick> @ Superpelican_ yep, something like that :  storing cat's output in a variable, sleep 3s, cat variable? then i need to purge the variable periodically... right?
[16:22] <eraggo> i would like to recommend 15.04 but i am using 14.something. Works like a charm
[16:23] <abs25> eraggo, I wont have any issue installing 15.04 even though I am first time installing linux?
[16:23] <eraggo> abs25: probably not
[16:23] <abs25> because on webpage it says recommened for most users at 14.04 version
[16:24] <teward> abs25: the trade off is cutting-edge vs. stability - 14.04 is probably more stable.  15.04 has newer software.
[16:24] <mtn> abs25, 14.04 is a long term support, so will be supported for much longer
[16:24] <eraggo> abs25: depends on your system; if you have high-end graphics card that will come issue.
[16:24] <abs25> no I have 3 year old low level gpu
[16:24] <eraggo> abs25: go for 14.04
[16:25] <abs25> mtn, what does that mean they wont update 15.04 but they will 14.04
[16:25] <abs25> ok
[16:25] <mtn> abs25, support, not just updating. after a few months, 15 will no longer get any updates
[16:25] <mtn> or support
[16:25] <abs25> why the numbers go down?
[16:25] <abs25> why is 14 better than 15?
[16:25] <abs25> makes no sense
[16:26] <eraggo> abs25: ubuntu uses format yy.mm; yyi s year and mm is month
[16:26] <heywood> hi all. i made an alias to MD5 as follows: md5sum(){ /sbin/md5 $@ | awk '{print $4}' ;} to extract just the checksum. this fails if the filename has spaces. how can i modify this to handle that case?
[16:26] <teward> abs25: 14.04 is an LTS (5 years of support).  15.04 is an interim release with a much shorter support period.
[16:27] <abs25> oh so they keep developing bit unstable stuff for advanced users, but keep working on one older version with support for regular users,?
[16:27] <eraggo> abs25: yes
[16:27] <abs25> interesting, thanks !
[16:28] <AppAraat> a bit of a related question, is it easy to upgrade from non-LTS versions?
[16:28] <AppAraat> like non-LTS to another non-LTS?
[16:28] <OerHeks> AppAraat, sure, change from lts to regular upgrade in you update manager
[16:28] <OerHeks> softwarecenter > edit > sources
[16:29] <eraggo> AppAraat: downgrade..... good luck
[16:29] <cemg> hello guys , i give chmod this file , then when i run it , it doesnt work , it just only becomes root, https://paste.kde.org/p5kfzjmmb
[16:29] <cemg> whats the problem here ?
[16:29] <AppAraat> OerHeks: I intent to use the CLI though, but I guess in that case I'll have to modify /etc/apt/sources.lst ?
[16:30] <AppAraat> eraggo: thanks for the heads-up. This is one of the reasons I intend to keep good backups.
[16:31] <alebin> the Boot-Repair program, can that wipe the entire mbr?
[16:32] <OerHeks> AppAraat, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Upgrades
[16:32] <AppAraat> thanks
[16:33] <eraggo> cemg: with sudo su you do login as root. Remove that line and replace it with sudo's when needed.
[16:33] <cemg> but wont it ask me for passwords ?
[16:34] <alebin> it should ask for your user pass
[16:34] <cemg> or to agree that installations
[16:34] <cemg> i dont want it
[16:34] <eraggo> cemg: script that short it should ask it once
[16:35] <alebin> can ubuntu checksum the mbr some how?
[16:36] <cemg> isnt there any other way ?
[16:36] <alebin> cemg: that's kinda how ubuntu is designed
[16:37] <cemg> when it becomes , then i type CTRL+D , after that it starts download everything without asking
[16:37] <cemg> when it becomes root ..
[16:38] <rypervenche> cemg: You could run it as the root user.
[16:39] <rypervenche> cemg: When I need to run a script that needs root permissions, I don't bother with adding "sudo" to each line and hoping that it doesn't take too long to run, thus requiring me to type my password again. I run it as the root user.
[16:40] <teward> rypervenche: so just run the script itself with sudo?
[16:40] <cemg> sudo su
[16:40] <cemg> then execute ?
[16:40] <teward> oop nevermind
[16:40]  * teward just showed up late xD
[16:40] <rypervenche> cemg: That won't always be the best way to do things, but it depends on what you need. Actually, reading the script, I wouldn't run it as root.
[16:40] <OerHeks> cemg, not sudo su, use ' sudo -i '
[16:41] <cemg> hmm okey
[16:41] <rypervenche> cemg: It is creating a python virtual environment. You'll want to do that as a normal user.
[16:41] <OerHeks> or sudo < script>
[16:41] <cemg> sudo ./installer.sh ?
[16:42] <rypervenche> cemg: Lines 5 to 24 need root privileges. I would just add sudo in front of each line there.
[16:42] <cemg> i did
[16:42] <rypervenche> cemg: Then run the script as your user, no need for sudo.
[16:42] <cemg> sudo ./installer.sh
[16:42] <cemg> hmm okey
[16:42] <rypervenche> cemg: Just run ./installer.sh
[16:42] <smallfoot-> Anyone having problems with mouse acceleration? It seems its disabled for me.
[16:43] <cemg> okey i will add sudo in front of everyline
[16:44] <OerHeks> cemg, running that script as root does the same.
[16:44] <cemg> sudo su  , then just ./installer.sh ?
[16:45] <Superpelican_> mtn: So it still isn't finished partitioning...
[16:45] <Superpelican_> It think it has stalled again
[16:45] <rypervenche> cemg: No no. You want to run it as your normal user.
[16:45] <rypervenche> cemg: Or whatever user you plan on using.
[16:45] <mtn> Superpelican_, using gparted from the live disk?
[16:45] <cemg> yeah
[16:45] <Superpelican_> no
[16:45] <cemg> i want to run it as a normal user
[16:45] <Superpelican_> I removed all the partitions with GParted
[16:45] <rypervenche> cemg: That script is a mess.
[16:46] <Superpelican_> and now I am trying to install Debian again
[16:46] <cemg> why ? :D
[16:46] <mtn> Superpelican_, why not? it has been suggested to you here and in the link you mentioned. just do it!
[16:46] <rypervenche> cemg: Lines 46 and 49 need sudo as well
[16:46] <smallfoot-> Anyone having problems with mouse acceleration? It seems its disabled for me.
[16:46] <Superpelican_> But how should I partition it?
[16:47] <eraggo> !patience | smallfoot-
[16:47] <cemg> i think the best way is adding sudo everyline
[16:47] <Superpelican_> Is about 25/30 minutes normal for a 320 GB HDD in a weak computer?
[16:47] <mtn> Superpelican_, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/35676/how-to-choose-a-partition-scheme-for-your-linux-pc/
[16:47] <Pici> cemg: overusing sudo can lead to system issues, please do not use it more than necessary.
[16:47] <cemg> ahh , then i dont know what to do :(
[16:47] <Superpelican_> Yes, but how will I get Debian to use an existing partition scheme?
[16:48] <rypervenche> cemg: You do NOT want to add sudo to every line.
[16:48] <cemg> which lines , just that all apt-get lines ?
[16:49] <OerHeks> Superpelican_, sounds like more a question for #debian
[16:49] <xcyclist> vsftp is giving me trouble.
[16:49] <xcyclist> The install did not give me a default vsftp.conf file in /etc.
[16:49] <Superpelican_> OerHeks: yes, but I was having the exact same problem with Ubuntu 15.04
[16:50] <Superpelican_> which I originally was trying to install
[16:50] <rypervenche> cemg: Delete line 4, then add sudo to 5 through 24, 35, 46, and 49
[16:50] <Superpelican_> it also stalled at 1/3rd in the partitioning stage
[16:50] <alebin> I have a semi-complicated question. If I install win8.1 to a partition on a ssd drive, then install Ubuntu 15.04 to another partition on the same drive, then use the Ubuntu CD to Veracrypt the Ubuntu install partition, will I be able to boot to Win8.1? Then reboot to the CD, unencrypt the Ubuntu installation partition, and reboot into Ubuntu 15.04?
[16:50] <ikonia> alebin: encypt at install
[16:50] <ikonia> alebin: the encyption of ubuntu has no impact on windows
[16:50] <alebin> ikonia: attackable by windows malware
[16:51] <ikonia> alebin: what ???
[16:51] <rypervenche> alebin: I would recommend using LUKs encryption during installation.
[16:51] <alebin> ikonia: i don't want windows having any access at all to a single bit of data on that linux partition
[16:51] <ikonia> alebin: it won't
[16:51] <ikonia> it can't read the file system
[16:51] <rypervenche> lol
[16:51] <ikonia> you don't even need to encypt it
[16:51] <alebin> ikonia: i don't want it having access to the encryption bootloader or anything, evil maid an all that junk
[16:52] <ikonia> alebin: it won't
[16:52] <alebin> ikonia: windows malware can install extfs drivers
[16:52] <ikonia> so you don't need to encypt it
[16:52] <ikonia> alebin: you're being silly
[16:52] <alebin> ikonia: i'm being realistic for these times
[16:52] <ikonia> and totally unrealistic
[16:52] <ikonia> alebin: no you are not
[16:52] <OerHeks> fud
[16:52] <ikonia> do what you want
[16:52] <xcyclist> The main thing is I cannot log into ftp using my username.
[16:53] <rypervenche> xcyclist: What is your reasoning for using the FTP protocol? What do you need out of it?
[16:54] <cemg> okey thank you so much guys for your help
[16:55] <rypervenche> alebin: Regardless of your reasoning, you can use the LUKS guided installation and you'll be fine. :)
[16:56] <alebin> rypervenche: seen way too many attacks against luks lately to trust it
[16:56] <rypervenche> oooook, I'm with ikonia on this one.
[16:57] <alebin> rypervenche: i'm looking for pretty much total separation of code.. win code over here.. reset/clear ram.. ubuntu code over here
[16:57] <alebin> rypervenche: short of a bios tampering, it would be secure
[16:58] <rypervenche> alebin: Well, we have given you a solution. If you do not like it, you are free to look elsewhere. Personally I would not trust Veracrypt at all. But I won't get into that. We can chat in offtopic if you wish to talk about that.
[16:58] <OerHeks> alebin,  "total separation of code" means 2 machines
[16:58] <Pici> [B/72
[16:58] <alebin> OerHeks: yeah, short of two machines :D
[16:59] <alebin> i just don't trust windows at all anymore, and wouldn't use it at all if it weren't for pretty much all the games being windows only
[16:59] <ioria> i know Ext2Fsd, but i didn't know it had write permissions
[17:12] <eraggo> alebin: that is why people should vote with their wallet :)
[17:14] <alebin> eraggo: yeah, it's getting there slowly, with the Source engine from Valve/Steam
[17:18] <eraggo> alebin: Not by engines itself; developers making games using engines, since (with Source engine inlisted too) there is more game engines possible for linux markets. Releasing for multiple platforms seems to be issue
[17:33] <ronin> what does this mean "o use Citrix Receiver in Chrome and/or Chromium, run: xdg-mime default wfica.desktop application/x-ica"
[17:33] <ronin> run what :/
[17:34] <rypervenche> ronin: From the cmomand line, run that command, starting with xdg-mime.
[17:34] <ronin> oh
[17:34] <tms> @ronin it seems like config parameters for a chrome "desktoped" app
[17:36] <abhijain> trying to make swap partition and when using mkswap for  formation its give error device or resource busy
[17:38] <ikonia> abhijain: swap it off
[17:39] <abhijain> ikonia: I didnt swap it on then what is the use of swap it off
[17:39] <rypervenche> abhijain: what device are you trying to mkswap?
[17:40] <abhijain> ikonia: [root@client Desktop]# mkswap /dev/sdb7 /dev/sdb7: Device or resource busy
[17:40] <ikonia> abhijain: what are you typing the name /dev/sdb7 2 times
[17:41] <ikonia> abhijain: if it's busy - it's in use by something, that normally means it's mounted or swapped on
[17:41] <abhijain> ikonia: its not mounted
[17:41] <ikonia> abhijain: why are you doing /dev/sdb7 /dev/sdb7
[17:42] <abhijain> ikonia: it was typo error here in chat I am just doing  mkswap /dev/sdb7      or  # umount /dev/sdb7 umount: /dev/sdb7: not mounted
[17:43] <ikonia> thats not how you unmount something
[17:43] <ikonia> abhijain: what was this partition before you decided to make it swap
[17:44] <lixunero>  in spanish please
[17:44] <ikonia> !es | lixunero
[17:44] <abhijain> ikonia: partition of 11GB that is not mounted
[17:44] <ikonia> 11GB swap, thats a lot
[17:44] <lixunero> whats is ubottu?
[17:44] <ikonia> lixunero: a bot
[17:47] <abhijain> ikonia: thanx its done, actually one of partition from same disk was mounted I made it umount and it works !!

[17:57] <baja> hey guys im trying to get my node version in the terminal typing node -v
[17:58] <baja> its not showing and i have already installed node
[17:59] <xcyclist> Sorry rypervenche for not answering immediately.
[17:59] <xcyclist> The need is I have two windows developers who want to help maintain a site using visual studio.
[18:00] <xcyclist> It was anticipated by them that they could get in if they had ftp protocol available.
[18:03] <xcyclist> I tried several other things, and login ftp consistently fails for my user, which works with ssh.
[18:07] <rypervenche> xcyclist: Any reason you're not using SFTP? FTP is not secure and it's a very old protocol.
[18:08] <yingw787> hi guys
[18:08] <yingw787> does anyone know a good channel for lxc support
[18:08] <wizzy__> Hi. I'm having a problem with the OSD popups from applications. qBittorrent ran out of disk space, thus spammed hundres of notifications. Previously all these notifications would all be shown at once and be gone after 5 seconds. Now each notification comes up one by one, and it takes 30-45 minutes before the all notifications in the queue has been shown. How can i clear this queue?
[18:09] <yingw787> linux containers
[18:09] <ikonia> yingw787: try using #freenode or the alis bot for channel searching
[18:09] <yingw787> cool thanks I will check that out
[18:09] <ikonia> this is ubuntu support, not a yellow pages for channels
[18:10] <mtn> I hear google can come in handy for searching for things, too
[18:10] <xcyclist> My users want ftp.  I suggested sftp and was told ftp was needed.
[18:11] <xcyclist> I mentioned the security matters.
[18:12] <xcyclist> I tried the reinstall suggestions here, and am still unable to log into my AWS EC2 using ftp with the vsftpd installed:  http://askubuntu.com/questions/47260/where-is-vsftpd-conf.
[18:13] <jan_> facebook
[18:14] <linuxd> bubblemon shows a memory usage of 65%(10.7/16.4GB).isn't it a sort of high rate?
[18:15] <yingw787> welp I got back here from #freenode
[18:15] <yingw787> hrmm if I configure xfs for a computer are the containers also configured
[18:18] <ernalve_> Hi, I'm having trouble connecting my m3 GoGear Vibe 8gb on ubuntu. When i connect it as MTP, Nautilus recognizes it as an audio player but just shows an empty Internal Storage folder. When i switch the mp3 to MSC mode it won't connect and says: "Unable to open device «[usb:002,010]» MTP". Any help???
[18:23] <xcyclist> Still unable to install vsftpd on an ec2 and make it work.
[18:24] <rypervenche> xcyclist: Unless they need anonymous access, which they don't since they need write access, any decent FTP client will also support SFTP.
[18:26] <rypervenche> xcyclist: Most people are using Filezilla these days, which supports SFTP.
[18:26] <xcyclist> No, they don't need anonymous access.  The client is visual studio....
[18:28] <rypervenche> xcyclist: Ah ok. I missed that. Sucks to be them. I can help you if you like.
[18:29] <xcyclist> What do you suggest?
[18:31] <xcyclist> rypervenche:  I am very interested in any helpful suggestion.
[18:32] <HakkaH> ok got a question I'm trying to find certain files of mumble/murmur especially murmur.ice but so far  no luck does anyone know where it might be placed on 14.04?
[18:32] <telecentro> Olá boa tarde!
[18:33] <OerHeks> HakkaH, locate < file >  or find < file> , ' which mumble '  should give some clues too
[18:33] <Bashing-om> HakkaH: ' sudo find / -name murmur.ice ' "find" it for you ?
[18:34] <HakkaH> will try
[18:34] <rypervenche> HakkaH: dpkg -L mumble-server | grep ice
[18:34] <jhutchins> HakkaH: dpkg -L mumble
[18:34] <jhutchins> rypervenche: Better.
[18:35] <HakkaH> found it many thanks
[18:36] <ernalve_> Hi again! My MP3 Philips GoGear Vibe doesn't connect on Ubuntu 14.04. ¿What can I do?
[18:38] <ernalve_> The mp3 allows MTP and MSC connections. When I connect it as MTP, Nautilus recognizes it as an audio player but just shows an empty Internal Storage folder. When i switch to MSC, i get this error: "Unable to open device «[usb:002,010]» MTP".
[18:42] <aikidouke> im working on a box that seems to have gotten stuck between a trusty-vivid upgrade. i didnt do that part, just trying to fix it
[18:42] <aikidouke> grub is showing only 3.13 kernels but 3.19 is the only kernel that is installed
[18:43] <aikidouke> i can edit the linux-image line in grub and change it to 3.19 and boot into rescue mode, but the machine doesnt recognize the keyboard after that...
[18:43] <aikidouke> any ideas?
[18:44] <hhee> guys. which nice audio player with stream record exosts in ubuntu?
[18:44] <hhee> exists

[18:48] <Bashing-om> aikidouke: Maybe a tough situation. I would boot a liveDVD and mount the install partition and see what the system things is the present release ' cat /mnt/etc/issue' and look at what is in the /boot directory ' ls -al /mnt/boot/ ' . for starters .

[18:50] <jhutchins> regedit: Pretty decent, (x)sane gets support from the Cups project which is Apple's printing system.
[18:51] <jhutchins> regedit: Is this a multifunction or just a scanner?
[18:51] <regedit> holy crap it's mentioned here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EPSON%20GT-F720%2C%20GT-S620%2C%20Perfection%20V30%2C%20Perfection%20V300%20Photo
[18:51] <regedit> jhutchins: just scanner (if you mean like also fax etc)
[18:52] <regedit> jhutchins: i should just follow steps from that page? or are there better recommended steps
[18:52] <Tai15> if you have a problem with an mdadm array and have to force it to start, are there any follow-up steps to make that persistant after reboot?
[18:53] <Tai15> or will it start up automatically at next reboot without forcing it?
[18:53] <jhutchins> regedit: I'd go with the Ubuntu docs.  We're here if you run into something.
[18:53] <regedit> jhutchins: ok thanks!
[18:54] <noncomcinse> I'm trying to get audio to work on my installation of ubuntu-server-14.04.2
[18:55] <grinchier> ubuntu is spyware
[18:55] <Tai15> do you have anything to back that up grinchier?
[18:55] <DX099> Tai15: don't mind, it's a bot
[18:55] <Tai15> oh, sorry DX099
[18:55] <regedit> jhutchins: i'm a x64 bit system, so i take the amd64 not the i386 right?
[18:56] <grinchier> Tai15: Ubuntu, a widely used and influential GNU/Linux distribution, has installed surveillance code.  When the user searches her own local files for a string using the Ubuntu desktop, Ubuntu sends that string to one of Canonical's servers.  (Canonical is the company that develops Ubuntu.)
[18:56] <grinchier> mint and ubuntu,  also redirect yahoo and amazon searches
[18:56] <grinchier> google it for yourself
[18:56] <grinchier> not to mention so many gov't agents,  that make them cave and bend over like pansies
[18:57] <Tai15> noncomcinse, what problems are you having geting audio to play?
[18:58] <root____> hello
[18:58] <teward> !crosspost | noncomcinse
[18:59] <ernalve_> hey again: this link (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgphoto2/+bug/616596) refers to my problem. Can anyone help me  in commenting out the referred line 785?
[19:00] <grinchier> Tai15: i recommend trisquel
[19:00] <grinchier> easier to use then ubuntu,  and cleaner
[19:01] <noncomcinse> Tai15: Any program that should have audio output is silent
[19:01] <Tai15> Go troll somewhere else, I don't care what you recommend
[19:01] <grinchier> Tai15: so then why did you ask me to back it up,   are you mad now that I've done so?
[19:01] <jhutchins> msg ubottu iso
[19:02] <Tai15> noncomcinse, have you installed sound drivers, like ALSA
[19:02] <Tai15> iirc, server doesn't come with them by default
[19:02] <Bashing-om> regedit: "  jhutchins: i'm a x64 bit system, so i take the amd64 not the i386 right? : correct .
[19:02] <noncomcinse> Tai15: I installed alsa-utils which comes with alsa-base as a dependency
[19:02] <noncomcinse> Are sound drivers seperate from that?
[19:03] <regedit> Bashing-om: thank you!
[19:03] <Tai15> h/o noncomcinse, I'm going to log into my server and check something
[19:03] <grinchier> its amazing how much cooler my cpu runs on trisquel compared to ubuntu
[19:04] <Tai15> noncomcinse, and you've gone into alsamixer and made sure your sound was turned up?
[19:04] <noncomcinse> Tai15: Yes.
[19:04] <Bashing-om> regedit: :) so long as we are not talking about a Mac system .
[19:05] <grinchier> hasn't mac machines got hacked first in alot of hacker contests before windows and linux? lol
[19:05] <grinchier> but don't worry.....mac's are "safer"....
[19:06] <Tai15> huh, beats me then noncomcinse, sorry ._.
[19:06] <grinchier> noncomcinse: best to ask debianuser in #alsa
[19:07] <Hobbet1> i have a basic question i sure is it better to use the intel cpu proprietary driver or not?
[19:07] <grinchier> Hobbet1: depends, do you notice any differences?
[19:08] <noncomcinse> I shouldn't have to reboot to get alsa to work but I might as well try it.
[19:09] <grinchier> Hobbet1: for example i use the proprietary nvidia drivers on the 3.13 kernel because otherwise,  i freeze when resuming suspend
[19:09] <Hobbet1> no so is there a difference to use one or the other
[19:09] <grinchier> but another fix,  would be to keep the open source drivers and update the kernel
[19:09] <grinchier> Hobbet1: then just stick with the open source driver
[19:10] <noncomcinse> Nope. No dice.
[19:10] <grinchier> Hobbet1: many claim open source drivers are more secure,   they are definitely way less bloated
[19:10] <grinchier> also more compatible with kernel upgrades
[19:11] <grinchier> Hobbet1: but if you want even less bloated,  use trisquel instead of ubuntu
[19:11] <grinchier> lol
[19:17] <regedit> well well ubuntu, you've done it this time; that was a relatively smooth experience getting my Epson Perfection v30 up & scanning (with a decent UI at that)
[19:17] <regedit> or i was just very lucky i bought that particular model
[19:17] <regedit> thanks again jhutchins!
[19:19] <Bashing-om> !hcl | regedit There is always
[19:20] <pbx> is it possible to remove the 'updates' menu from the status bar?  14.04 unity FWIW
[19:21] <pbx> its main purpose seems to be to alert me to failures related to wine upgrades :)
[19:21] <MonkeyDust> pbx  i see no updates menu in unity, where do you see it?
[19:22] <regedit> Bashing-om: what are the chances of blindly buying a scanner and /years/ later being the lucky winner of the actually-supported-by-the-distro-you-selected lottery :D
[19:23] <pbx> MonkeyDust, to the left of the network menu. i can't tell you what its normal icon is because it's currently a red 'warning' triangle
[19:23] <OerHeks> pbx, yes, you can remove it by fixing the update, best way i guess
[19:24] <pbx> OerHeks, well yes. but after doing that more or less weekly for the last x months i realized that's all i ever do with that menu and would rather it disappear
[19:24] <OerHeks> click on it, what does it say?
[19:24] <Bashing-om> regedit: Older hardware, chances are good ! Not Lexus ( when are they going to get on-board ?) .
[19:25] <MonkeyDust> pbx  change the update settings: system settings > software & updates > updates
[19:25] <pbx> OerHeks, "The update information is outdated..." this is a new one. subsequent apt update failed on a third-party ppa (spotify) so that may be the cause
[19:26] <lixunero> averroes
[19:26] <pbx> MonkeyDust, i don't see anything related to the status bar icon there
[19:26] <lixunero> microsoft
[19:26] <lixunero> windows
[19:26] <OerHeks> pbx, oke, use ppa-purge to remove that ppa, or disable it if you want to use the spotify app
[19:26] <MonkeyDust> pbx  no, but you can disable automatic updates
[19:28] <mattiasw> Does anyone here have any experience comparing the touchpad on the latest macbook air vs. the dell xps 13?
[19:28] <regedit> Bashing-om: any "political" (i.e. non-financial or time/effort related) reasons why OEMs would not support linux?
[19:28] <pbx> MonkeyDust, right. i want automatic updates, i just didn't want the noise, but that combo doesn't seem to be offered. thanks
[19:32] <MonkeyDust> regedit  discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:32] <Bashing-om> regedit: Whohh , way above my head too . This belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic . Maybe MicroSoft is Lexus' bread and butter ?
[19:33] <regedit> right ok heh
[19:34] <MACscr> how can i change the resolution for console access when accessing my ubuntu server through IP KVM? I have no gui installed on my servers, so its strictly console access
[19:34] <Tai15> Hey guys, I'm sorry, but I'm just in over my head and really need help. I had a problem with my RAID array that's part of an LV, and now, after rebuilding me, I can't mount the LV because it's telling me it doesn't have a valid partition table, even though the RAID array is active and seems fine
[19:35] <MACscr> its through ipmi virtual console access, so no video card is really involved.
[19:37] <Jordan_U> Tai15: Do you really mean a RAID array that is part of an LV, meaning that you have a RAID array whose memebers are logical volumes?
[19:37] <Tai15> Jordan_U, I have a RAID 10 array that's mounted an LV
[19:38] <Tai15> as an LV*
[19:40] <Jordan_U> Tai15: You're not using terminolgy in an understandable way. I assume, since this is the most reasonable configuration, that you have multiple drives that each have partition tables. On each of those drives is a partition that is a RAID member, forming your RAID array, and on top of that RAID array you have an LVM physcial volume wich contains within it at least one LVM logical volume. Is that correct?
[19:40] <Tai15> Jordan_U, I'm sorry if I'm not being clear, but yes, that is exactly how my server is configured.
[19:42] <kodi> hi everybody, can someone tell my why my free disk space is fluctuating from, sometimes 2.8Go to 3.5Go without changing anything?
[19:43] <bghfre> kodi: How big is the full space?
[19:43] <Ben64> kodi: you on kodibuntu?
[19:44] <kodi> no, I'm under xubuntu, and I have installed kodi on it... sorry for the nickname, I've forgotten to change it
[19:47] <Tai15> Jordan_U, according to fdisk -l, each of the harddrives has a single partition with "Linux raid autodetect on it", but my Logical Volume manager does not have a valid partition on it anymore, and I'm not sure what caused that
[19:47] <newke> hi. im thinking of buying a thinkpad. it has belgian keyboard layout, but im comfortable with US. Will keys be mapped correctly?
[19:48] <newke> if ill choose US layout *
[19:48] <Jordan_U> Tai15: By "logical volume manager does not have a valid partition on it" do you mean that there is no Logical Volume?
[19:49] <Tai15> Jordan_U, perhaps this will clarify a bit: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11795124/
[19:50] <bghfre> newke: Should be fine I would think, a replacement US would be about 12$ US maybe.
[19:50] <bghfre> on line that is
[19:53] <Jordan_U> Tai15: A logical volume isn't supposed to have a partition table. What is your end goal?
[19:54] <bennypr0fane> hi, I have a problem with my wlan driver. It doesn't seem to laod (properly at startup). It's the broadcom propietary wl driver. jockey-gtk shows it as being in use, yet when I start the system, wlan doesn't work. as soon as I run sudo modprobe wl in the terminal, it springs to life
[19:55] <Tai15> Jordan_U, before I mounted my RAID by mounting logical volume group. Now it's telling me that it can't do that because there isn't a valid partition table.
[19:55] <bghfre> !broadcom | bennypr0fane use this wiki
[19:56] <Jordan_U> Tai15: What command are you running to try to mount the logical volume?
[19:56] <bghfre> bennypr0fane: THe wiki gives you closed and opensource info.
[19:57] <Tai15> i had a line in my fstab that did it automatically /dev/vgpool/lvraid /srv/samba ext4 defaults 0 1
[19:57] <Tai15> but now it's telling me that "special device /dev/vgpool/lvraid does not exist"
[19:57] <bennypr0fane> bghfre, well it seems my problem is rather clear cut, while not specific to this driver, don't you think?
[19:57] <Jordan_U> Tai15: OK. Please pastebin the output of "sudo blkid".
[19:57] <bghfre> bennypr0fane: Hmm, if clearcut why are you here?
[19:58] <Acer54> is there any embroidery-software available for linux ? I got a sewing machine...
[19:58] <Tai15> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11795209/
[19:58] <bghfre> bennypr0fane: With broadcom we have everybody read the wiki, especially when you mention closed source drivers, we need to know you informed is all.
[19:58] <bennypr0fane> by "clearcut" that I feel I have figured *what the probelm is*, but that doens't mean I know the solution
[19:58] <bghfre> you're*
[20:00] <bghfre> bennypr0fane: I can't help you beyond the wiki so you know. However most use it and are up and runnning, but the channel is to help.
[20:01] <Jordan_U> Tai15: Please pastebin the output of "sudo pvscan && sudo vgscan && sudo vgchange -a y && sudo lvscan && sudo blkid".
[20:01] <bennypr0fane> this wiki deals with determining which driver is needed and how to install and load the right one. once that's done, the only fix that it offers is to reinstall, which I already tried
[20:03] <Jordan_U> bennypr0fane: Is your card supported by the open source b43 driver?
[20:03] <bennypr0fane> Jordan_U, no
[20:03] <Tai15> Here you go Jordan_U http://paste.ubuntu.com/11795255/
[20:05] <Jordan_U> bennypr0fane: Please pastebin the output of "sudo mount -o ro /dev/VG-RAID/LV-RAID /mnt/".
[20:06] <bghfre> Jordan_U: I think you nics are mixed
[20:06] <Tai15> Jordan_U, I think you meant me, and it's "mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[20:06] <Tai15> "
[20:06] <bennypr0fane> bghfre, yup, I think that wasn't for me?
[20:07] <Jordan_U> bennypr0fane: Indeed, sorry about the mistab.
[20:07] <bghfre> bennypr0fane: I don't think so, but they are excellent help.
[20:11] <Jordan_U> Tai15: It looks like you don't have any volume group named vgpool, though according to your /etc/fstab entry you used to. Also, the only logical volume you currently have doesn't have a fileystem. Did you recently try to change something related to LVM?
[20:12] <Tai15> Jordan_U, no, I haven't done anything with the LVM recently
[20:12] <Tai15> I had a problem with my RAID array caused by someone knocking a cable out, but I was able to rebuild the array and now it's active.
[20:13] <Jordan_U> Tai15: How did you rebuild the array?
[20:14] <Tai15> mdadm --assemble --force /dev/md127 /dev/sd[b-h]1
[20:18] <Jordan_U> Tai15: The description for --force states "Assemble the array even if the metadata on some devices appears to be out-of-date. If mdadm cannot find enough working devices to start the array, but can find some devices that are recorded as having failed, then it will mark those devices as working so that the array can be started. An array which requires --force to be started may contain data corruption. Use it carefully."
[20:19] <Jordan_U> Tai15: Why did you decide to use --force?
[20:19] <Tai15> uh, when I tried to --assemble --scan, it told me there was only one drive (!?) even though I could clearly see the other ones
[20:21] <Jordan_U> Tai15: And what lead you to believe that --force was specifically the option you should use?
[20:22] <Tai15> I was reading https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RAID_Recovery and trying to follow the steps they provided
[20:26] <bennypr0fane> guys, any new ideas?
[20:28] <Tai15> any ideas Jordan_U?
[20:29] <bishops> Quick question: What is in your opinion the best laptop to get that can run ubuntu with no problem
[20:32] <OerHeks> bishops, a laptop that comes with ubuntu, or see the HCL list
[20:32] <OerHeks> !hcl
[20:32] <k1l_> bishops: dell or system76 offer to ship ubuntu in first place. then thinkpads and other ones that are run by the typical tech guys.
[20:32] <bishops> OerHeks: i understand, but some laptops on the list once reviewed seem to have problems
[20:33] <bishops> i presonally have a x1 carbon and i feel that the battery is not as good as if it was on windows
[20:35] <bishops> k1l_: yes system76 sounds good, do you think it is better than dell?
[20:35] <nicekiwi> battery on Linux is shockingly bad on all devices :/
[20:35] <nicekiwi> and excessive heat
[20:36] <lixunero> yes
[20:36] <bghfre> nicekiwi: Talk to manufacturers and don't mak broad fud statements.
[20:36] <Geo2b2> Hey. Does anyone know why in Ubuntu, searching online there will always be t=canonical in the url?
[20:36] <bghfre> make*
[20:36] <lixunero> yes
[20:37] <bghfre> !ot | lixunero We will make sure you hang in the correct channel!!
[20:38] <lixunero> thank you
[20:38] <Geo2b2> No one knows about the t=canonical thing?
[20:38] <TJ-> Geo2b2: yes, because Canonical insert that term in the Search provider XML settings: See for yourself: "grep -rn canonical /usr/lib/firefox/distribution/*"
[20:38] <lixunero> canonical!
[20:38] <Jordan_U> Tai15: I'm not very familiar with RAID recovery, so maybe someone else can help. Do you have backups?
[20:39] <lixunero> yes
[20:39] <Geo2b2> TJ-, thanks. But why do they do this? Is it a good idea to remove that, or comment it out?
[20:39] <Tai15> Jordan_U, yes, full backups
[20:39] <TJ-> Geo2b2: To get paid on click-throughs
[20:40] <lixunero> yes yes
[20:40] <Jordan_U> Tai15: Then you may want to just start from scratch and restore from backup, if nobody else has a better idea.
[20:40] <k1l_> lixunero: stop that random stuff.
[20:40] <lixunero> sorry
[20:40] <Geo2b2> TJ-, Oh, ok. Do you know if it's safe to remove? Sorry if thats a dumb question, i'm pretty new
[20:41] <Tai15> Jordan_U, okay, I will follow the steps then on the site I linked to recreate the RAID and hope that works, and if not, I can copy from the backups
[20:41] <Jordan_U> Tai15: As that page mentions, the linux-raid mailing list is also a good resource.
[20:41] <lixunero> k1l
[20:41] <Tai15> okay, I'll send an e-mail
[20:42] <lixunero> I do not say random things
[20:43] <k1l_> lixunero: ##chat for chatting. this channel is for support only
[20:45] <TJ-> Geo2b2: Which search engine do you see it with?
[20:45] <lixunero> KL1 : as well
[20:45] <Geo2b2> TJ-, duckduckgo primarily and google when i use it.
[20:46] <TJ-> Geo2b2: Yes, I've seen it with DDG ... can't see it in that grep for Google though
[20:46] <Geo2b2> TJ-, however if i actually go to the search engine website and search, it doesn't happen for some reason
[20:47] <Geo2b2> TJ-, Then i'm probably wrong about google. Is it okay to remove or comment out the canonical part? I mean, could it possibly do harm?
[20:48] <xangua> Geo2b2: and what harm is it doing¿
[20:48] <TJ-> Geo2b2: I remember a long time ago I figured out how to override the searchplugins in the user home directory, to avoid making a change to the system packages. If you change the system packages upgrades may well fail
[20:49] <Geo2b2> xangua, I'm not sure, i just don't really want it there.
[20:51] <nicekiwi> bghfre, your saying that out of the box linux distors have good power savings? talk about broad fud statements..
[20:51] <bghfre> nicekiwi: I did not say that, you are biased live with it.
[20:51] <Geo2b2> TJ-, Oh, so it's not a good idea for me to remove it? I'm not really sure how to override searchplugins, and since i'm a noob i probably shouldn't try, in case i mess up. Does the canonical thing in general do anything bad, as in, is it possible spyware, adware, etc?
[20:51] <bghfre> embrace it you know reflect
[20:51] <fxmulder> seems when I try to login to my laptop the screen flickers for a couple seconds and then gives me the login screen again
[20:51] <fxmulder> any idea what might be broke there?
[20:51] <TJ-> Geo2b2: It looks like there most of the searchplugins contain some form of distributor indicator, I did a quick survey of the files reported by: "dpkg -S searchplugins"
[20:51] <AppAraat> hello everyone, what commandline wifi manager would you recommend me?
[20:52] <fxmulder> running ubuntu 14.04
[20:52] <xangua> if you are interested about battery life try this nicekiwi http://www.webupd8.org/2013/04/improve-power-usage-battery-life-in.html
[20:52] <poorUser> hi people, does anyone has epic freezes of ubuntu 15?
[20:53] <poorUser> happens with compiz and alt-tab
[20:53] <AppAraat> poorUser: you are probably using AMD or nVidia cards.
[20:53] <poorUser> yes
[20:53] <bghfre> poorUser: JUst the daily download is all, it updates on the install.
[20:53] <poorUser> geforce
[20:53] <Bashing-om> fxmulder: A proprietary grahics driver that was in use ? and now broke in a upgrade, perhaps ?
[20:53] <nicekiwi> xangua, yeah.. but Im not, I avoid inliux on mobile for the reason reason that to get good battery I personally have to tweak a lot of stuff to make it work. Which in the end may or may not help.
[20:53] <nicekiwi> linux*
[20:53] <bghfre> poorUser: Err sorry you meant inthe OS, my mistake.
[20:54] <AppAraat> poorUser: AMD and nVidia are still a bit of an issue there. This is the reason I went with Intel integrated ones. They have open source drivers.
