[16:16] <R-M-J> encrypted home folder, don't think I'll be able to
[16:16] <Dumle29> Hey there. "sudo mount -t nfs -o proto=tcp,port=2049 nfs-server-ip:/volume1/ /media/nas" works fine, and mounts my 4 nfs exports in the nas folder. Now I added this line to my /etc/fstab "nfs-server-ip:/volume1/ /media/nas nfs auto 0 0" But with that sudo mount -a only seems to mount one folder.
[16:16] <philip> rejit is it my desktop or my server
[16:17] <rejit> philip: the device from which you are currently facing this issue
[16:17] <Dumle29> Hmm never mind. Doing the manual mount first, unmounting, then using mount -a seems to work as it should. I'll see if it persists after a reboot.
[16:17] <tgm4883> R-M-J: hmm, yea that would be problematic then
[16:17] <philip> my laptop
[16:17] <philip> i did not upgrade
[16:18] <R-M-J2> sorry - signed in on another laptop now so i can play with the problematic one
[16:18] <tgm4883> R-M-J2: maybe try /var/log/xorg.0.log  or look into decrypting your home dir from the command line
[16:18] <tgm4883> philip: nobody can help you if you don't post any logs or command output
[16:19] <newman> hi

[16:20] <cfhowlett> uuhimhere, I know it's fun, but plz don't google or lmgtfy here.  not helpful.
[16:21] <SonikkuAmerica> newman: ¡Explica!
[16:21] <newman> I need only django and python lnks here in site SonikkuAmerica .  http://www.bogotobogo.com/python/Django/Python_Django_tutorial_introduction.php
[16:21] <asop> What version is the Xorg server on Precise?
[16:21] <newman> when i try few commands on various tutorial it try to download every link tutorials
[16:21] <newman> which I don't want
[16:21] <SonikkuAmerica> newman: What are you trying to pull?
[16:21] <tgm4883> SonikkuAmerica: newman probably need --mirror too
[16:22] <philip> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10610521/
[16:22] <newman> All python tutorial and django tutoriail in that link
[16:22] <newman> i tried it
[16:22] <R-M-J2> ok so in tty, logged in and decrypted (decryption passphrase was the old password, is that relevant?)
[16:22] <tgm4883> we use "wget --mirror -p --html-extension --base=./ -k -P ./ http://$i" to mirror our wordpress sites
[16:23] <SonikkuAmerica> newman: Hold on.
[16:24] <tgm4883> philip: and this is from the server than cannot ping the gateway?
[16:24] <TimeVirus> How do I connect my Network Monitor (Panel applet) to a Network Device -- I would REALLY like it to watch ALL 'Network Devices'.  For me that would be Ethernet and wifi cards - no BlueTooth so no need there
[16:25] <philip> that is from my ubuntu laptop
[16:25] <philip> i cant copy from the server
[16:26] <tgm4883> philip: yea lets get that from the server, and also "nm-tool"
[16:26] <tgm4883> !pastebinit | philip
[16:26] <TimeVirus> not one answer Q for me :(... No love for a Virus in here?
[16:26] <philip> icmp_seq=5 Destination Host Unreachable
[16:26] <TimeVirus> lol
[16:26] <R-M-J2> ok - problem solved by changing the password back to what it originally was by running passwd in tty - so that's a bug, where can I send it so someone more competent than myself can have a look?
[16:26] <teward> TimeVirus: it's called patience
[16:27] <teward> TimeVirus: you may need to wait to get the response you need.
[16:27] <tgm4883> philip: how can you ping <IP_ADDRESS> from there, but not reach teh internet?
[16:28] <philip> i can ping <IP_ADDRESS> and the particular ip i cant but can using a windows machine
[16:28] <rejit> philip: nslookup google.com
[16:28] <tgm4883> philip: that sentance is confusing
[16:29] <k1l_> philip: what ip is it?
[16:29] <philip> rejit from the server i want to ping or from my laptop am pinging from
[16:29] <k1l_> philip: is it in your local network or outside?
[16:30] <asop> !bug R-M-J2
[16:31] <philip> doing nslookup i get from the non-authoritative just one address <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:32] <philip> kil_if its an ip problem i will not be able to ping from a windows machine
[16:33] <tgm4883> philip: I just want to make sure I understand correctly. Your Ubuntu server is installed on an old optiplex desktop? Are you installed in a VM on that machine or on the bare metal?
[16:33] <rejit> philip: cat /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head
[16:34] <R-M-J2> !bug
[16:34] <philip> tgm4883 the ubuntu server is installed on a different laptop.
[16:34] <tgm4883> philip: is it installed on the bare hardware or in a VM?
[16:35] <philip> not a vm
[16:35] <philip> a new laptop
[16:36] <tgm4883> philip: ok, and that laptop with the ubuntu server install is the one that can't ping anything?
[16:36] <philip> rejit.# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
[16:36] <philip> #     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
[16:36] <philip> philip@philip:~$
[16:36] <rejit> so your resolv.conf is empty?
[16:37] <philip> yes
[16:37] <rejit> :P shouldnt that be the answer?
[16:37] <tgm4883> rejit: no
[16:37] <tgm4883> rejit: you don't need a resolv.conf to ping IP addresses
[16:37] <R-M-J2> great, thanks. also I'm setting up on a lenovo yoga - some features work, some don't - but one thing that does work is the keyboard switches off when it's folded over in tablet mode. does anyone have any idea where the conf files for this are in order to  turn other things on/off when the laptop is folded over in tablet mode?
[16:38] <philip> no idea
[16:38] <philip> is also p3p1 the same as eth0
[16:39] <tgm4883> rejit: also, you asked for head, there is also base in that directory that could contain the DNS servers. You probably should have asked for /etc/resolv.conf
[16:39] <tgm4883> philip: ok, and that laptop with the ubuntu server install is the one that can't ping anything?
[16:39] <rejit> tgm4883: thanks for the correction
[16:39] <philip> no is the one am using .trying to reach the laptop using ubuntu server
[16:39] <solsTiCe> Can I safely delete /etc/X11/core. It seems to be a coredump of a crash. What is that doing here ?
[16:40] <tgm4883> rejit: no worries, this is really difficult to follow which is why I'm trying to get clarification about where the issue is
[16:40] <philip> is also p3p1 the same as eth0
[16:40] <OerHeks> R-M-J2, yoga 2 or yoga 3 ?
[16:40] <newuser789> !ubuntu+1
[16:40] <sopparus> hello
[16:40] <sopparus> SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
[16:40] <sopparus> */10 * * * * /home/oddjob/serios/greppa
[16:40] <sopparus> why doenst that run every 10th minute?
[16:41] <sopparus> like opn any other os
[16:41] <tgm4883> philip: Can you bust out some crayons and draw me a picture?
[16:41] <philip> hw will i do that
[16:41] <rejit> this is getting interesting , lemme fetch some popcorn philip tgm4883
[16:42] <tgm4883> philip: I have no idea which system you are one, which system is having the issue of being unable to ping, which system you've posted logs from, etc.  What is your primary language, we may have a channel that is able to help you
[16:42] <philip> hw will i do that
[16:44] <philip> my primary language is english but its just that am not really good expressing myself technically
[16:44] <tgm4883> philip: ok, let me try this another way then. How many physical computers do you have there
[16:44] <philip> the system i am currently on is the one am using to ping
[16:44] <R-M-J2> OerHeks it's a yoga 2, not pro
[16:45] <philip> thank you.i have 2 physical computers
[16:45] <tgm4883> philip: ok. Are they both laptops?
[16:45] <philip> both laptops
[16:45] <rejit> oh wait didnt philip just said nslookup google.com didnt result in anything , ah no wonder why i jumped to conclusion with resolvconf
[16:45] <lefteris> hello, can i ask here something about update-manager;
[16:46] <philip> one with ubuntu server currently installed while the other with ubuntu desktop
[16:46] <tgm4883> philip: ok. the laptop that you are on, what OS is that running
[16:46] <sdaks> exit
[16:46] <philip> ubuntu desktop
[16:46] <tgm4883> philip: ok, and so the one you are on is running ubuntu desktop?
[16:47] <philip> yes ubuntu desktop which am currently runinng
[16:47] <tgm4883> philip: ok, and that one works fine?
[16:47] <philip> thats work fine...i can ping google.com or get to the internet
[16:48] <tgm4883> philip: perfect. Is this a home network?
[16:48] <philip> but when i try to ping the laptop which the ubuntu server is on i can
[16:48] <lefteris> what is the meaning of "oldlibs" in autoremove file at apt daemon?
[16:48] <tgm4883> philip: is this a home network?
[16:48] <philip> tgm4883. yes
[16:48] <tgm4883> philip: ok, how do you connect to the internet? wired or wireless?
[16:49] <AfterDarkness> i need helep. can't login after installing proprietary drivers
[16:49] <philip> from my desktop am cinnected via wireless
[16:49] <philip> from my desktop am connected  via wireless
[16:49] <AfterDarkness> well i can login but after doing so no desktop is there
[16:49] <philip> while the server is static via cable
[16:50] <tgm4883> philip: ok, and what type of internet do you have (cable/satellite?) and do you have a wireless router then?
[16:50] <Faylite> Some firewalls block ping requests by default now, just gonna throw that in there
[16:50] <philip> i have disable all firewall using iptables -F
[16:50] <tgm4883> lets not get into firewalls yet
[16:51] <philip> both cable and wireless
[16:51] <philip> ok
[16:51] <tgm4883> philip: ok. so the laptop that you are on. What is the IP address of your laptop?
[16:51] <Phyliares> Hello, "debconf-get-selections --installer" on a fresh trusty install, any idea?
[16:52] <philip> its a Dhcp
[16:52] <Phyliares> return nothing+
[16:52] <philip> <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:53] <tgm4883> philip: ok. What is the IP address of your router?
[16:53] <AfterDarkness> when trying to run unity in tty1 i get this error couldn't open display :0
[16:53] <philip> my wireless router is 10.1
[16:54] <AfterDarkness> any ideas?
[16:54] <tgm4883> philip: ok 10.1?
[16:54] <philip> but my ubuntu server is a public ip
[16:55] <k1l_> AfterDarkness: erm? what are you trying to do?
[16:55] <philip> which is wired
[16:55] <tgm4883> philip: ok 10.1?
[16:55] <philip> yes 10.1
[16:55] <tgm4883> philip: 10.1 isn't an IP address
[16:55] <k1l_> AfterDarkness: on a ubuntu, just start the lightdm and log in to the desktop session there.
[16:56] <philip> <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:56] <tgm4883> philip: ok, so your router is <IP_ADDRESS> and your desktop is <IP_ADDRESS> correct?
[16:57] <philip> yes exactly
[16:57] <tgm4883> philip: Are you sure your desktop is connected to YOUR wifi router?
[16:57] <cristian_c> Another question
[16:58] <cristian_c> I've converted a usa live into ,iso file via dd command
[16:58] <cristian_c> *usb
[16:58] <philip> yes am sure....because thats what am using to on this forum
[16:58] <TimeVirus> philip those are two different networks
[16:58] <cristian_c> but if I execute md5sum, hash is different
[16:58] <tgm4883> philip: that isnt' a reason to be sure. You could be connected to your neighbors wifi
[16:59] <cristian_c> How can I check if .iso is not corrupted?
[16:59] <AfterDarkness> i was trying to put proprietary drivers to fix my loud gpu but then after restart there was no desktop env
[16:59] <cristian_c> Any ideas?
[16:59] <AfterDarkness> the login manager worked tho
[16:59] <k1l_> AfterDarkness: does the login screen work?
[16:59] <teward> cristian_c: compare MD5 sums of the ISO file to the already known MD5s
[16:59] <teward> !md5
[16:59] <philip> so wat should i do now
[16:59] <k1l_> AfterDarkness: does another user or the guest-session work?
[16:59] <cristian_c> teward, already done
[16:59] <tgm4883> philip: can you please pastebin 'nm-tool' from your desktop?
[16:59] <AfterDarkness> no
 but if I execute md5sum, hash is different
[16:59] <spitzi> Thanks all, bye
[17:00] <tonph> I had a 12.04 ubuntu which crased with broken pipe, now I installed 64 bit ubuntu 14 it was working fine, but i installed ubuntu-tweaks and set sm setting like fonts. Intalled other softwares. Now restarting my OS... I cannot see anythin except my wallpaper and home folder - its torturing..
[17:00] <AfterDarkness> do you know what this error mean? invalid mid mit-magic-cookie-1
[17:00] <tonph> how can i get my menu and all back... any idea please do share
[17:00] <teward> cristian_c: if the hash of the .ISO is different then it's not the same file - likely something died in there
[17:00] <philip> okay.
[17:00] <teward> cristian_c: but make sure you're checking the MD5 sum of the correct ISO in the md5 sums
[17:00] <teward> (when comparing to the master list of md5 sums)
[17:01] <AfterDarkness> invalid mit-magic-cookie-1*
[17:01] <valerosa> Those could be the same network. It would depend on subnet masks. All of 192.168.x.x is private.
[17:01] <Phyliares> Anybody could tell me if "debconf-get-selections --installer" returns anything on a trusty (needs debconf-utils package) Please
[17:01] <tonph> previously ubuntu use to be too stable .. but i dnt what happens...
[17:01] <cristian_c> teward, I've checked
[17:01] <cristian_c> teward, should I use dd again to convert it?
[17:01] <philip> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10610707/
[17:01] <k1l_> AfterDarkness: do you try remote login?
[17:02] <philip> tgm4883:http://paste.ubuntu.com/10610707/
[17:02] <AfterDarkness> k1l_, i can login in tty
[17:02] <AfterDarkness> what is the point of remote login
[17:02] <tgm4883> philip: are you sure your wifi router is <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:02] <tonph> any help would be appreciated
[17:02] <philip> yes
[17:02] <philip> will do a traceroute and send it to u.
[17:02] <tgm4883> philip: then you aren't connected to your wifi
[17:02] <k1l_> AfterDarkness: i asked if you use remote login on that machine while that produces that error message.
[17:03] <philip> i am connected
[17:03] <tgm4883> philip: what is your SSID
[17:03] <tgm4883> philip: what is your wifi name
[17:03] <k1l_> AfterDarkness: i didnt ask for reasons to use it. i just see some other suers having that error message you posted connected which using remote login.
[17:03] <AfterDarkness> how do i remote log in?
[17:04] <AfterDarkness> this is a fresh install
[17:04] <k1l_> AfterDarkness: stop
[17:04] <philip> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10610733/
[17:04] <k1l_> AfterDarkness: please do a "ls -al" on the tty1 and see what is owned by root:root
[17:04] <AfterDarkness> all i did was use the proprietary drivers option in the software update then restart and this happens
[17:04] <philip> its a cisco linksys
[17:04] <tonph> :(
[17:05] <tgm4883> philip: your gateway is <IP_ADDRESS>, not <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:05] <mcphail> tonph: do you have a blank desktop with wallpaer but no unity launcher?
[17:05] <AfterDarkness> afterdarkness which i am currently logged in to
[17:05] <philip> so sorry
[17:05] <tonph> mcphail: yes
[17:05] <TimeVirus> the only way you can be connected to your router @ <IP_ADDRESS> when your computer is on the 192.168.1.x network is if you changed your subnet mask to <IP_ADDRESS> - philip
[17:05] <philip> just confuse
[17:05] <k1l_> tonph: reset the desktop settings
[17:05] <tonph> mcphail: How can i do that
[17:05] <tgm4883> philip: no worries
 AfterDarkness: please do a "ls -al" on the tty1 and see what is owned by root:root
[17:06] <mcphail> tonph: can you open a terminal?
[17:06] <tgm4883> philip: ok, so lets talk about your server now. What is the IP address you set statically for your server?
[17:06] <TimeVirus> ah lol
[17:06] <philip> <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:06] <tonph> mcphail: noh .. key board shortcut i havent tried
[17:06] <AXN> hey guys
[17:06] <tgm4883> philip: ok, and it's connected to your router?
[17:07] <AfterDarkness> k1l_, i told u it is 'afterdarkness'
[17:07] <philip> its connected to a switch
[17:07] <philip> then to a router
[17:07] <mcphail> tonph: ok - press ctrl-alt-f2 and log in
[17:07] <AXN> bekks: hey man you around?
[17:07] <tgm4883> philip: ok, is the router the same one that your laptop is connected to?
[17:07] <k1l_> AfterDarkness: so everything in your users home belongs to your user? look twice because details matter now!
[17:07] <philip> no
[17:07] <AfterDarkness> yes
[17:08] <AfterDarkness> oh
[17:08] <k1l_> AfterDarkness: even the .Xauthority?
[17:08] <philip> my laptop is connected to a wireless router
[17:08] <AfterDarkness> expect the .. folder
[17:08] <AfterDarkness> yes .Xauthority is owned by afterdarkness
[17:08] <tgm4883> philip: ok, so you purchase two internet subscriptions for your home then?
[17:09] <philip> its actually not for a home but for an organisation
[17:09] <tgm4883> philip: ok, then the server is physically located somewhere else?
[17:10] <philip> yes.
[17:10] <philip> but its something i have access to
[17:10] <tgm4883> philip: ok. So lets talk a little bit about the network that the server is on
[17:10] <mcphail> tonythomas:
[17:10] <AfterDarkness> this is approximately how it is shown afterdarkness afterdarkness 4096 Mar 17 03:40 .
[17:11] <philip> okay
[17:11] <BluesKaj> philip, the IP you posted as your server is the same your internet IP ID
[17:11] <AfterDarkness> the next line says root root and the rest after darkness
[17:11] <tonph> he he went to terminal was unable to come back...
[17:11] <tgm4883> philip: the server is connected to a switch, which is connected to a router. Are there other computers also connected to either this switch or router?
[17:12] <k1l_> AfterDarkness: do other users or the guest-session work on the login screen?
[17:12] <philip> other computers are connected
[17:12] <tgm4883> BluesKaj: don't jump ahead now ;)
[17:12] <philip> but not my desktop
[17:12] <tgm4883> philip: ok, are those other computers servers or desktops?
[17:13] <philip> desktop
[17:13] <AfterDarkness> only got one user and the guest user same senario
[17:13] <k1l_> can you pastebin the .xsession-errors?
[17:13] <vbgunz> I've noticed a problem lately. I've got a new GTX 960 and the Nvidia driver from the repo does not want to work on it? On an installation of Kubuntu 14.10 or Ubuntu Studio 14.04, the same results happen. After running nvidia-xconfig and restarting the DM, the resolution goes to complete crap, maybe 800x600?
[17:13] <tgm4883> philip: ok, can you get to one of those desktops? I'd like to get an nm-tool run on one of them
[17:13] <AfterDarkness> i can press ctrl alt del and a window shows up
[17:13] <AfterDarkness> k1l_, how can i?
[17:14] <vbgunz> There's no way to fix it either, anyone know what to do short of installing the official binary direct from Nvidia?
[17:14] <AfterDarkness> i am using a my laptop i cant copy text is there a log?
[17:14] <philip> the other desktop are running on windows
[17:14] <tgm4883> philip: ok, can you get to one?
[17:14] <mcphail> vbgunz: the default driver used in the repos is too old. You'll need to install a more recent one
[17:15] <tgm4883> philip: we can run 'ipconfig /all' on it
[17:15] <newbieAlert> hey what is the way to make default handler for images - feh?? i tried dbus-switchboard. now images are oepning in browser...

[17:15] <vbgunz> mcphail, what's the simplest method to do this but not go bleeding edge?
[17:16] <vbgunz> xorg-edgers is I believe bleeding edge, something just short of that?
[17:16] <philip> yes
[17:16] <mcphail> vbgunz: I'm not sure what versions are in the default repos (without installing a ppa). Type "sudo apt-get install nvidia-" then press "TAB" twice to see the options
[17:16] <newbieAlert> by terminal
[17:17] <tgm4883> philip: please pastebin a 'ipconfig /all' from that windows desktop
[17:17] <omgitsmit> newbieAlert: what command are you using?
[17:17] <philip> its <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:17] <k1l_> AfterDarkness: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit &&pastebinit .xsession-errors
[17:17] <k1l_> AfterDarkness: than show the link in here
[17:17] <vbgunz> mcphail, 331
[17:17] <ioria> !ping
[17:18] <mcphail> vbgunz: there is a ppa which is more stable the xorg-edgers but I can't remember the name. I think they have 34something rather than 33
[17:18] <tgm4883> philip: well I'd like to get gateway and DNS from that windows box as well
[17:18] <philip> okay
[17:18] <vbgunz> I did have the official binary installation in here but it complained about DKMS and the installation failed... the repos used to always work but this card hates the old stuff I guess
[17:18] <mcphail> vbgunz: but xorg-edgers has always worked for me (YMMV)
[17:18] <vbgunz> mcphail, gonna find it
[17:18] <philip> gateway is <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:19] <vbgunz> mcphail, I tried it one time and when i came up to a black screen, I swore I'd never try it again :'(
[17:19] <k1l_> vbgunz: please show the exact error message in a pastebin.
[17:19] <AfterDarkness> paste.ubuntu.com/10610810
[17:19] <TimeVirus> now if only I could remember what my other Qs were :-|
[17:19] <mcphail> vbgunz: black screens are progress
[17:19] <k1l_> vbgunz: and if its complaining about dkms make sure the kernel headers are installed
[17:20] <tgm4883> philip: ok, so the ubuntu server. it cannot ping anything, and nothing can ping it either?
[17:20] <mcphail> vbgunz: at least you know it isn't loading the vesa driver
[17:20] <philip> it can ping
[17:20] <tgm4883> philip: the ubuntu server can ping what?
[17:21] <vbgunz> hmm, gonna try installing the headers like k1l_ said
[17:21] <AfterDarkness> i thought .xsession-errors was a dir lol
[17:21] <mcphail> vbgunz: usually, the black screen can be fixed by adding "nomodeset" to the boot options
[17:21] <vbgunz> I remember doing this a long time ago, the repos was always my preferred method but lately the nvidia driver for this card is broken
[17:21] <k1l_> AfterDarkness: hmm, that is not helping much
[17:21] <vbgunz> mcphail, thanks man, I really appreciate it!
[17:22] <AfterDarkness> k1l_, do you know how to use the open source driver?
[17:22] <mcphail> vbgunz: np. hope it works for you. I'd love that card
[17:22] <philip> can ping anything
[17:22] <philip> google.com
[17:22] <philip> anything
[17:22] <k1l_> AfterDarkness: "sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
[17:22] <tgm4883> philip: ok
[17:22] <AfterDarkness> i got amd
[17:22] <k1l_> AfterDarkness: "sudo apt-get purge fglrx"
[17:22] <tonph> any ideas guys on the blank screen - ubuntu 14
[17:23] <omgitsmit> tonph: after logging in?
[17:23] <tgm4883> philip: can you restate the issue again?
[17:23] <tonph> omgitsmit: yes
[17:23] <mcphail> tonph: are you back? you disappeared when i was trying to help
[17:23] <omgitsmit> tonph: try removing the xsession cache
[17:23] <philip> i can ping from the windows machine but can ping from my ubuntu desktop
[17:24] <AfterDarkness> i have daul monitors and i notice that they were mirrored after restart i thought it could be the driver
[17:24] <tonph> mcphail: I went to the command prompt and was not able to cm to the talk
[17:24] <k1l_> AfterDarkness: you could see the xorg.log in /var/log for possible errors.
[17:24] <tgm4883> philip: should one of those "can ping" be a "can't ping"
[17:24] <k1l_> AfterDarkness: i need to go afk now.
[17:24] <vbgunz> ok, gonna try this again, gotta shut down lightdm
[17:24] <AfterDarkness> k1l_, it works i have a desktop now
[17:24] <TimeVirus> Really feel the need to say this... I am VERY impressed with Xubuntu so far!
[17:25] <TimeVirus> lol
[17:25] <mcphail> tonph: are you in the terminal now?
[17:25] <tonph> mcphail: yes
[17:25] <AfterDarkness> but no lanucher it seems unity is missed up
[17:25] <philip> i dont get u
[17:25] <AfterDarkness> i can right click on desktop before i coudnt do that
[17:25] <tgm4883> philip: what you told me isn't an issue. You said that from the windows machine it CAN ping but CAN ping from my ubuntu desktop
[17:25] <k1l_> AfterDarkness: rename the .config folder and relogin
[17:25] <mcphail> tonph: ok - type "xterm -display :0" then press ctrl-alt-f7. Do you have a graphical terminal on the desktop background?
[17:26] <tonph> mcphail: i am in console... nope
[17:26] <AfterDarkness> i need to do it in tty1
[17:26] <AfterDarkness> where is the .config folder in home?
[17:26] <mcphail> tonph: can you get back to the blank desktop with ctrl-alt-f7?
[17:26] <tonph> mphail: k
[17:27] <tonph> mcphail: yeah am in graphical blank wallpaper
[17:27] <philip> yes i what i said
[17:27] <philip> \how will i be able tp ping
[17:27] <mcphail> tonph: and has a graphical termibnal window opened?
[17:27] <mcphail> *terminal
[17:28] <tonph> mcphail: no I am not able to open the terminal from here... I tried Ctrl+alt+t also
[17:29] <Alissa> How do I get rid of whatever causes the "No mail" notification when I log on via SSH?
[17:29] <mcphail> tonph: did you type "xterm -display:0" into the previous console? Did you get any error messages?
[17:29] <tgm4883> philip: I'm still not 100% sure what your issue is. Are you saying that you can NOT ping the ubuntu server from your ubuntu desktop at home?
[17:29] <AfterDarkness> k1l_, that worked
[17:29] <philip> yes thats what am saying
[17:29] <tonph> mcphail: I have not typed that.. shall i do so and come back to the graphical desktop
[17:30] <mcphail> tonph: yes. try to follow the instructions i type
[17:30] <tonph> mcphail: k ...
[17:30] <tgm4883> philip: OK. Well that isn't what you said earlier
[17:31] <AfterDarkness> k1 isnt rightl_, how do i fix the screen issue only one monitor is showing up and the resoulotion isnt right
[17:32] <AfterDarkness> in screen display only one resolution is showing up and one monitor
[17:32] <tonph> mcphail: I get an error like "Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyterm: XT error: Cant open display :0, Xter: DISPLAY is not set
[17:32] <philip> thats wat i have been saying
[17:32] <tgm4883> philip: As you have previously mentioned, you have disabled the firewalls on the machine. (which is a bad idea), did you do any strange network config at your house? I can ping it fine from here
[17:33] <mcphail> tonph: ok, that's frustrating. Try changing the :0 to :0.0 or :1 or :1.0
[17:33] <AfterDarkness> tonph, i think u have the same issue as mine, did u install a proprietary drivers for ur gpu?
[17:33] <tgm4883> philip: no, what you said was (paraphrasing) "I can successfully ping my ubuntu server from my windows desktop on the same network, but I can also successfully ping my ubuntu server from my ubuntu desktop which resides on my home network"
[17:34] <tonph> AfterDarkness: yesh, I was installing truecrypt ...
[17:34] <tgm4883> philip: what you apparently were trying to say was "I can successfully ping my ubuntu server from my windows desktop on the same network, however I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to ping my ubuntu server from my ubuntu desktop which resides on my home network"
[17:34] <tgm4883> those two things are different
[17:34] <tonph> mcphail: I tried many of the natural numbers still the same error ..
[17:35] <AfterDarkness> is that a gpu driver? tonph
[17:36] <philip> yes thats wat i said
[17:36] <philip> so how can i ping from my ubuntu desktop
[17:36] <tonph> AfterDarkness: I am not sure, but looks like not a gpu driver.... amongst those which was installed
[17:36] <mcphail> tonph: ok, this may not work then as you sometimes need a graphical terminal open on the desktop but we'll give it a try in the terminal instead. Type "sudo apt-get install dconf-tools && dconf reset -f /org/compiz/"
[17:36] <tonph> AfterDarkness: I justinstall ubuntu tweaks also and set some setting like fonts etc..
[17:36] <AfterDarkness> tonph, i am not an expert but i had a similar issue when i removed the driver and and renamed the ".config" folder in my home it worked
[17:37] <tgm4883> philip: from where I'm sitting, it appears that everything is setup right for your server (eg. it's pingable from the internet which sounds like what you want). I'm unsure why your particular home desktop cannot ping it through.  I asked all of those initial questions so I could get a better understanding of your network (which was basically required since
[17:37] <tgm4883> you didn't tell anyone that you were dealing with multiple networks and just expected everyone to guess the missing info)
[17:37] <tgm4883> philip: I believe this to be setup correctly    https://www.lucidchart.com/invitations/accept/b7f3be55-53da-4a67-a5c6-a2bc97a298cd
[17:37] <tgm4883> philip: err, I believe that is your networks correct (at least the parts we were discussing)
[17:38] <tonph> mcphail: Its painful, now the internet is not getting detected ..:(, let me fix that and type the command.
[17:38] <philip> am so sorry...its just pressure.......so any idea
[17:39] <mcphail> tonph: ok. I've got to go, I'm afraid, but give it a try. You can type "sudo service lightdm restart" after that to log back in to see if it has worked.
[17:39] <hay207> hi guys, is there an application that displays audio spectrum from input as mic?
[17:39] <tgm4883> philip: initially you had given us this pastebin which indicates that your home desktop has an ethernet port with an ip address in the 41.242.x.x range. If it still thinks that is up it may be trying to ping that address over that interface
[17:39] <tgm4883> philip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10610521/
[17:39] <tonph> mcphail: thnx, let me try that also
[17:39] <TimeVirus> I'm curious -- Why XChat and not HexChat or verse visa in Mint?
[17:40] <philip> wat could be the problem
[17:40] <mcphail> tonph: only when you have done the dconf thing above...
[17:40] <tonph> mcphail: k
[17:40] <firecat> 中文呢
[17:40] <tgm4883> philip: I just said what could be the problem. It's with your network/desktop, not with the server/organization network
[17:41]  * tgm4883 sighs
[17:42] <tonph> seriously thou - ubuntu distro is becoming a bit of ... :(. its a thout
[17:43] <tgm4883> that was like pulling teeth. Time for a bio break
[17:43] <TimeVirus> thout?
[17:43] <TimeVirus> tgm4883, the dentist lol
[17:45] <_vaibhavingale_> hi everyone, am trying to use sslio for decryption of request and encryption of request. but am not able to understand how I can use this.. anyone tried it before on ubuntu?

[17:53] <octavian_> hi
[17:53] <octavian_> I installed a new driver for my raden 8000 series and now after I login I can only see ther terminal
[17:53] <octavian_> I have acces to nothing
[17:54] <octavian_> I can only access terminal
[17:54] <octavian_> and irssi ofcourse
[17:54] <gr1zzlybe4r> RMJ: yeah, but I was getting a syntax error when trying to run that script after cloning it from the repo. I posted about it here: https://github.com/iye/lightsOn/issues/26
[17:54] <octavian_> How can I rever the changes and get back to the previous driver?
[17:55] <TimeVirus> maybe boot into recovery mode @ grub?
[17:55] <TimeVirus> octavian_, ^
[17:55] <octavian_> TimeVirus: yes
[17:55] <octavian_> TimeVirus: tried that
[17:55] <TimeVirus> bah
[17:55] <haza-w`> $ sudo apt-get remove fglrx-*
[17:55] <haza-w`> ?
[17:55] <octavian_> TimeVirus: grub is not meant to do that work. It os related to terminal
[17:56] <TimeVirus> can disable the dri ver from there perhaps
[17:56] <TimeVirus> driver*
[17:56] <haza-w`> Do you know what the package was, octavian_?
[17:56] <octavian_> haza-w`: only that command?
[17:56] <TimeVirus> in driver manager?
[17:56] <haza-w`> octavian_: fglrx is the ATI proprietary driver namespace iirc
[17:56] <octavian_> haza-w`: I don t remember
[17:57] <haza-w`> so running that apt-get remove command and restarting *should* bring back your display manager with the open source drivers
[17:57] <octavian_> haza-w`: it was the second one
[17:57] <RMJ> ok so heres a question - just had to reinstall windows 7 on my wifes laptop (dual boot) and GRUB has been replaced with windows boot manager - ohw do i get it toboot back to grub again as wbm doesn't even list my ubuntu partitions
[17:57] <haza-w`> !grub | RMJ
[17:58] <AfterDarkness> ochiottes, do what haza-w` said sudo apt-get purge fglrx
[17:58] <RMJ> sweet, thanks haza-w`
[17:58] <AfterDarkness> i had the same issue
[17:59] <haza-w`> also, there are some reports from askubuntu that running >  $ sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh  < alongside removing the fglrx-* packages is helpful
[18:00] <octavian_> haza-w`: tried the first command and apparently did it's work. should I enter the second one sudo sh /usr...?
[18:00] <AfterDarkness> if u want flgrx install it from apt-get not like how i did from the amd support website
[18:00] <haza-w`> Yes, octavian_
[18:00] <cristian_c> teward, the server has disconnected me
[18:00] <cristian_c> teward, have you answered to me?
[18:00] <octavian_> haza-w`: ok just wait here pls
[18:01] <haza-w`> Standing by! ;-)
[18:01] <kokut> Hello, what is the key combination to change the input layout from the keyboard?
[18:01] <RMJ> kokut - super+space I think
[18:02] <kokut> RMJ: i think it used to work like that but now its not working
[18:03] <octavian_> haza-w`: can't open /usr/share... I guess I'll jsut restart and see what happen then
[18:03] <haza-w`> Yup, should be fine octavian_
[18:03] <kokut> RMJ: should i restart my system or something? Im working
[18:03] <octavian_> haza-w`: so so sudo reboot is the only option right?
[18:03] <RMJ> then take a look in text entry
[18:04] <teward> cristian_c: i don't have the scrollback of what you asked initially / last said - i also don't think i directed anything towards you since my last message either.
[18:04] <haza-w`> yes, octavian_
[18:04] <kokut> RMJ: im on cairo dock
[18:05] <kokut> RMJ: k found it
[18:05] <ljmod> what does xubuntu 14.04 use as login screen how can i edit the login screen?
[18:05] <cristian_c> teward, I've asked you a question
[18:05] <cristian_c> teward, I don't know if you have answered to me
[18:05] <AfterDarkness> man i am so glad linux has tty saved my life
[18:05] <kokut> its a bug
[18:06] <kokut> im friggin bugged
[18:06] <teward> cristian_c: i don't have the question anymore - that's the problem - way too much scroll in this channel due to activity, and my IRC client likes to explode on me when the GUI crashes :p
[18:06] <teward> cristian_c: you'll have to remind me the question
[18:06] <cristian_c> teward, so, have I to convert the usb live again with dd?
[18:07] <kokut> guess rebooting is my only choice
[18:07] <octavian_> haza-w`: what a GOD dude!!! thank you so much. That's why I love ubuntu.. for it's comunity
[18:07] <haza-w`> ^.^
[18:07] <teward> cristian_c: redownload the ISO, check the ISO's md5 sum, then use dd like you did before (I believe).  note I don't use `dd` to write ISOs for LiveUSBs, I use the usb creator tool in the repos for Ubuntu
[18:07] <cristian_c> teward, lol
[18:07] <cortex_> hi
[18:08] <cortex_> cristian_c: hola
[18:08] <cristian_c> teward, but the hash in the usb is correct
[18:08] <cristian_c> cortex_, ola
[18:08] <cristian_c> teward, when I convert the usb live into .iso file, I get a different hash
[18:08] <octavian_> haza-w`: using that command I can experiment with the third driver I guess. There are 3 drivers
[18:08] <cortex_> mmm
[18:09] <cortex_> intersting
[18:09] <teward> cristian_c: that's outside my ability to help, I'd ask the channel your question(s) rather than me directly, sorry.
[18:09] <nolan_> Hi
[18:09] <cristian_c> teward, ok
[18:09] <octavian_> haza-w`: might appear complications?
[18:10] <haza-w`> Which one did you try last time, octavian_
[18:10] <GothSpark> hello all, I recently installed i3 and got problems setting my keybing to control the volume   currently the command "pactl list sinks | grep -A2 -B2 -i running" gives me nothing . I am using amixer but i would rather use Pulseaudio I followed multiple way to do but none worked
[18:10] <haza-w`> I presume this is in the restricted drivers GUI?
[18:11] <octavian_> haza-w`: i ll check in a second
[18:11] <haza-w`> I've also had problems with those drivers in the past, I'll see what I'm running
[18:11] <octavian_> haza-w`: but i have no hardware acceleration
[18:12] <octavian_> haza-w`: yep it is proprietary. if you want I ca type it's whole name
[18:15] <haza-w`> oh, looks like I'm just using xserver-xorg-video-radeon
[18:15] <haza-w`> must've given up on the proprietary drivers
[18:17] <octavian_> haza-w`: I think I'll try the third option :D
[18:17] <octavian_> haza-w`: I like living risky
[18:19] <octavian_> somebody mentioned how the proper way to install fglrx. Can you tell us one more pls?
[18:20] <octavian_> Tristam: ^
[18:20] <octavian_> or trevor???
[18:26] <cqcallaw> hi all, I'm looking for information on how to get automounting of LUKS-encrypted USB filesystems working in Xmonad (see http://askubuntu.com/questions/577521/how-can-i-get-an-encrypted-flash-drive-to-automount-in-gnomexmonad). Any ideas or hints on an appropriate place to ask such question?
[18:27] <teward> general fstab question - I have a drive that is NFTS, and I want it to always mount to a specific location, as a specific user and group, and with specific permissions across the board.  I also need the system to NOT try and wait for the thing at boot, because it's not always connected.  Is this the correct set of fstab options?  https://pbin.dark-net.net/view/raw/e510f2c5
[18:28] <octavian_> teward: did you mention earlier the proper way to install fglrx driver for ATI radeon?
[18:28] <teward> octavian_: I'm sorry?
[18:28] <teward> octavian_: I never said anything with regard to fglrx or otherwise
[18:28] <teward> ever
[18:28] <cqcallaw> teward, seems legit. is it not working for you?
[18:28] <octavian_> teward: I thought it was you. Sorry
[18:29] <cqcallaw> (the fstab entry)
[18:29] <ioria> octavian_ :   i think there's  an  installer
[18:29] <teward> cqcallaw: was curious, before putting it into production
[18:29] <teward> cqcallaw: if all looks fine then i'll use that.
[18:29] <octavian_> exit
[18:30] <teward> cqcallaw: the other thing I require is that a user be able to mount it, I assume that that's what the 'user' option achieves?
[18:31] <cqcallaw> probably the easiest test w/o rebooting would be to unmount the FS, then do "sudo mount -a" which should mount anything listed in fstab that isn't mounted
[18:31] <cqcallaw> hmmmmm, I'm not sure the user option does that
[18:31] <cqcallaw> if you're wanting user mounts, I believe you'll need FUSE
[18:32] <teward> cqcallaw: will do, thanks.  last question is, if I only want the user/group it's mounted as to have access (excluding root because root accesses all), i just use a different umask, right?  (i.e. umask=0007, rather than 0000)?
[18:32] <cqcallaw> actually I think "user" does allow user mount, see http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man5/fstab.5.html
[18:33] <cqcallaw> yes, changing the umask should change access to the mount point.
[18:33] <cqcallaw> it shouldn't touch the permissions of the files in the mounted FS, though
[18:34] <cqcallaw> which makes sense, but can be astonishing
[18:36] <shootbird> when I enable periodic updates via /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic, what time of day is it running apt-get update, etc?
[18:36] <octavian_> haza-w`: tried the third proprietary driver and the result was the same: I was forced to use sudo apt-get remove fglrx-* to get back to the default one.
[18:37] <octavian_> Is there any other way I can get hardware acceleration withous using those drivers? Somebody mentioned earlier a way
[18:39] <scellow> Hey guys, my java apps are unable to reach the internet, i tested my code on osx and it works well, i tried different 3rd party java apps on ubuntu and they are all unable to reach internet, i tried using both Oracle jdk8 and Open jdk8 same issue, i think the problem came right after i updated my system, im running Ubuntu 15.04, and yesterday when i updated the system, ubuntu reported a problem, i can't remenber what was the problem

[18:43] <ioria> Rakholl:   can  you   type  exit  ?
[18:44] <Rakholl> ioria: it'll bounce me right back to the same situation, says ALERT! /dev/disk/longstringofnumbersandletters here
[18:45] <Rakholl> I'm trying to start a 64bit ubuntu from a USB drive and I have one encrypted device along
[18:46] <tgm4883> tonph: Ubuntu, like any OS, works great provided you have well supported hardware.
[18:46] <Rakholl> ioria: It tells me to Check cryptopts=source= bootarg: cat /proc/cmdline
[18:46] <Rakholl> cat /proc/cmdline
[18:47] <tonph> I have Lenovo G500 - and my ubuntu 12.04 was working great, but all of a sudden - I encountered Could not write byte issue so i tried reinstalling ubuntu 14. And that is more of a ..
[18:48] <Rakholl> the previous command input gives a response of BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.11.0-12generic root=dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root ro quiet splash
[18:49] <tgm4883> tonph: so you encountered an issue and thought "I'll upgrade to 14.04 that will fix it"?
[18:49] <ioria> Rakholl:   try  : sudo update-grub   sudo grub-install /dev/sda
[18:49] <tonph> tgm4883: I installed not upgrade..
[18:49] <tgm4883> tonph: that wasn't really my point...
[18:50] <ObrienDave> if all else fails re-install the OS. ROFL
[18:51] <Rakholl> ioria: /bin/sh: sudo: not found
[18:52] <ioria> Rakholl:   try  : dpkg-reconfigure mdadm
[18:53] <tgm4883> tonph: so if you do a clean install, do nothing in the clean install, reboot and then you can't get to a desktop?
[18:53] <linuxwiller> ioria: How do you remember these commands????
[18:53] <tonph> tgm4883: yes
[18:53] <Rakholl> ioria:  /bin/sh: dkpg-reconfigure: not found
[18:53] <ioria> i don't
[18:54] <linuxwiller> Refering somewhere??
[18:54] <tgm4883> tonph: you've tried that? Last I saw, you installed stuff in the latest install
[18:54] <tonph> tgm4883: not do nothing, I installed oracle java 8 and netbeans and rebooted the system
[18:54] <ioria> Rakholl:   are  you on RAID  ?
[18:54] <tgm4883> tonph: when you did the fresh install, did you keep your home directory?
[18:55] <tonph> tgm4883: noh, I clean everything and did a clean install
[18:55] <tgm4883> ok
[18:55] <tgm4883> tonph: are you getting to lightdm?
[18:56] <tgm4883> (eg. the login screen)
[18:57] <tonph> tgm4883: yes - I can see the login screen and also use password to login... and then I landed in a blank page only wallpaper
[18:57] <tgm4883> tonph: what about if you login to guest mode?
[18:57] <tonph> nope...
[18:58] <tonph> just ablank wallpaper
[18:58] <Rakholl> ioria: How do I find out?
[18:58] <tgm4883> hmm
[18:58] <tonph> its frustrating :)
[18:58] <tgm4883> tonph: if you do ctrl+alt+t do you get a terminal?
[18:59] <tonph> tgm4883: noh - i can simply right click and change the background .. and bla bla
[19:00] <ObrienDave> how about alt+F2
[19:00] <linuxwiller> I think he is already logge din?
[19:00] <linuxwiller> logged in*?
[19:00] <ObrienDave> ok, nvm
[19:00] <tonph> tgm4883: this is the first time I have expressed such a bad feelings with ubuntu... I too have used ubuntu for a bit time.. but ths new releases... :(
[19:00] <tgm4883> linuxwiller: alt+f2 will bring up the run command dialog
[19:00] <tgm4883> tonph: how about alt+f2
[19:01] <tonph> tgm4883: nothin
[19:02] <tgm4883> tonph: odd. And you didn't install any prop drivers or anything?
[19:03] <tonph> tgm4883: thats why its frustrating to me.. :)
[19:03] <Rakholl> alt+f2 locks up the machine, just a console spacer flashing on the top left corner, doing nothing
[19:04] <Rakholl> by the way, on the ubuntu start creen: "cryptsetup: evms_activate is not available"
[19:07] <tgm4883> tonph: i haven't been following your issue the last 2 hours. have you tried this http://askubuntu.com/questions/17381/unity-doesnt-load-no-launcher-no-dash-appears
[19:08] <Alissa> How often does the update-motd.d update the MOTD? I've set up a script to just echo some stuff but for some reason it's still not updating the motd.
[19:08] <ioria> Rakholl:   the command : mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot     seems  to work ?
[19:10] <tonph> tgm4883: I followed this http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-reset-compiz-and-unity-in-ubuntu.html, and used unity-reset and restarted my box
[19:11] <tonph> now i can see the menu-bar and other stuufs too ...
[19:11] <tonph> and i can also evn access the Ctrl+Alt+t to open the terminal....
[19:11] <Rakholl> ioria: mounting failed, no such file or directory
[19:11] <tgm4883> tonph: cool
[19:12] <tonph> tgm4883: frankly saying, I was going mad and started thinking many things that I hate to think with ubuntu...
[19:12] <ioria> Rakholl:   the command : lsblk ?
[19:13] <tonph> tgm4883: thanks for the chase with me... to the problem.. thnx
[19:13] <tgm4883> tonph: so its all working now
[19:13] <tonph> tgm4883: yeah , still m rechecking by rebooting ..
[19:13] <Chotaz> Hey peeps, how do I prevent ubuntu from sleeping while watching online streams? And why doesnt it happen when I'm watching stuff on vlc? thanks in advance.
[19:14] <Rakholl> ioria: lsblk: not found
[19:14] <tonph> tgm4883: yeah i can see the icon and menu ... :) ...
[19:14] <tonph> thnx to all ...
[19:20] <newuser789> how to enter special characters or other language characters while logging in or in bash or other applications ?
[19:22] <Pici>  /70
[19:23] <newuser789> Pici: me ?
[19:23] <jhutchins> newuser789: Depends on whatever's managing the input; sometimes the window manager, sometimes the app.  There's usually a "super" key (try right-hand Windows key) that is used either in sequence or combination.
[19:23] <Pici> newuser789: no, that was a typo
[19:25] <newuser789> jhutchins: any page explaining about this ?
[19:28] <Ben64> newuser789: sometimes its ctrl+shift+unicode
[19:28] <jhutchins> newuser789: Many.  Again, it depends on what you're working with.
[19:30] <Chotaz> Hey peeps, how do I prevent ubuntu from sleeping while watching online streams? And why doesnt it happen when I'm watching stuff on vlc? thanks in advance.
[19:33] <brym> newuser789, i usually open a gedit window, and hold down the Alt Gr button (immediately right of spacebar) while typing. combine with shift for additional chars
[19:33] <jhutchins> newuser789: http://fsymbols.com/keyboard/linux/choosers/  http://fsymbols.com/keyboard/linux/compose/
[19:34] <jhutchins> Chotaz: It's a feature of the player, sometimes configurable,  sometimes not there.  Depends on the player.
[19:34] <Mandeep_Singh> Chotaz, try System Settings> Brightness & Lock > Turn screen off whe inactive for: and lock on/off
[19:35] <marcelo_> Man! I gotta learn how to use this IRC thingy
[19:35] <hadi> irani kesi has?
[19:35] <haza-w`> [19:31:07] <Chotaz> Hey peeps, how do I prevent ubuntu from sleeping while watching online streams? And why doesnt it happen when I'm watching stuff on vlc? thanks in advance.
[19:36] <TimeVirus> How can I get this in HTML format saved locally too look at when offline? file:///usr/share/xubuntu-docs/desktop-guide/index.html
[19:36] <marcelo_> does it only go to sleep in those situations or it goes to sleep when you do nothing for a while?
[19:36] <haza-w`> Chotaz: I use Caffeine, which automates the process when it detects a plugin like Flash player in fullscreen mode.
[19:36] <Prezident> Chotaz: wich WM?
[19:36] <Rakholl> ioria: thank you for the effort, but I think the mystery will be solved another day
[19:37] <Chotaz> Prezident, GNOME?
[19:37] <Prezident> Fluxbox? Then take a look at your xscreensaver
[19:37] <linuxwiller> VLC doesn't allow the system to sleep
[19:37] <Prezident> Aha, dont know gui settings, only text
[19:37] <Prezident> Might be a kernel setting aswell.
[19:37] <Prezident> What is your screensaver time on?
[19:37] <ioria> Rakholl:   sorry
[19:37] <haza-w`> Chotaz: Give Caffeine a whirl, see if it works for you.
[19:37] <Chotaz> I was looking at Caffeine right now, but I was looking for a more definitive, less 'toggle-y' way.
[19:38] <haza-w`> $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:caffeine-developers/ppa && sudo apt-get update
[19:38] <haza-w`> $ sudo apt-get install caffeine
[19:38] <haza-w`> $ ln -s /usr/share/applications/caffeine.desktop ~/.config/autostart/caffeine.desktop
[19:38] <marcelo_> TimeVirus, go to system settings -> Brightness and Lock -> Turn off screen when inactive for [never]
[19:39] <TimeVirus> what marcelo_ ?
[19:39] <haza-w`> Chotaz: By default, it runs as a daemon and detects when it should disable screensaving for you. There is a toggle widget that can sit in the notifier bar, if you really want, but I don't use it.
[19:40] <marcelo_> Open up System Settings, go to the "Brightness and Lock" setting and change the "turn off screen when inactive for:" to 'Never'
[19:40] <TimeVirus> I would like to have the Xubuntu Documents in HTML format saved locally for when I'm not connected to WAN
[19:40] <Goose_> Hey guys
[19:40] <marcelo_> Hey Goose
[19:41] <Goose_> Sooooo.... anyone wanna let me know how the hell to edit my conky files?
[19:41] <marcelo_> conky files???
[19:41] <TimeVirus> gedit?
[19:41] <TimeVirus> lol
[19:41] <TimeVirus> nano?
[19:41] <Ben64> Goose_: vim /path/to/conky/files
[19:41] <HeroCC> vim
[19:41] <TimeVirus> or vim
[19:41] <marcelo_> don't forget to apt-get that vim
[19:41] <treelzebub> foosudo deconky-my-files /*
[19:41] <TimeVirus> not here by default?
[19:41] <TimeVirus> :O
[19:42] <linuxwiller> use nano
[19:42] <linuxwiller> it is preinstalled
[19:42] <Goose_> What are the differences betwen vim/vi/nano? I prefer nano but that's jsut me
[19:42] <Ben64> then use nano
[19:42] <TimeVirus> cool then nano is da man anyway
[19:42] <marcelo_> Vim is more for a power user super ninja master text editor programmer
[19:42] <TimeVirus> lol
[19:42] <TimeVirus> k
[19:43] <Goose_> ^  nice description haha
[19:43] <Goose_> How can I find the path to the files?
[19:43] <HeroCC> Vim for command line, Sublime 3 if I want a GUI
[19:43] <marcelo_> or GVim ;)
[19:43] <Ben64> Goose_: find or locate
[19:43] <TimeVirus> nano!
[19:43] <linuxwiller> Sublime Text +1
[19:43] <TimeVirus> o\
[19:44] <marcelo_> I'm glad I got myself 100% rid of Windows... Thank you Valve for 'dem ports
[19:44] <treelzebub> i love nano and terminal text editors as much as the next guy, but for some things, i want notepad++ to have a linux version so badly. silent file and undo-history persistence without manual saves, plus ftp plugin for streamlined syncing. geany is nice, but doesn't do these 2 things.
[19:45] <ldlework> treelzebub: gedit? kate?
[19:45] <marcelo_> treelzebub: have you tried Atom? It's delicious
[19:45] <ldlework> and slow
[19:45] <Goose_> My only issue was finding the actual files. I know how to edit them ahah
[19:45] <marcelo_> true that xD
[19:45] <treelzebub> i want a text editor that allows me to keep tons of tabs open, and not ask me if i want to save my changes, EVAR
[19:45] <treelzebub> does atom do that?
[19:45] <Chotaz> haza-w`: ah, I see so I can disable the notifier bar bit and just let it run on background? btw: i added the caffeine repo and ran apt-get update, however, there is no 'caffeine' package to install
[19:46] <marcelo_> Some people say that atom is super-configurable, but I'm more of a vim guy
[19:46] <Ben64> Goose_: should have said that then, instead of "...how the hell to edit my conky files?"
[19:46] <haza-w`> Chotaz: Yes, the softlink in ~/.config/autostart will start the background daemon on login.
[19:46] <linuxwiller> heard atom is super sluggish
[19:46] <haza-w`> And that's interesting with regards the missing package...
[19:46] <Goose_> Yeah, sorry. Long day ahah
[19:47] <haza-w`> What Ubuntu version are you on?
[19:47] <linuxwiller> I don't edit conky files
[19:47] <treelzebub> yeah, atom looks like too much overhead, and it's sluggish on 14.10, according to some forum posts... something to keep in mind
[19:47] <linuxwiller> Copy configs from around the internet
[19:47] <marcelo_> Nixie Pixel is probably the best youtube channel for new Linux users
[19:47] <Goose_> haza-w': me?
[19:47] <linuxwiller> Never seen videos
[19:47] <linuxwiller> always forums for me
[19:47] <haza-w`> no, sorry, Chotaz
[19:47] <Chotaz> haza-w`: 14.10. I just noticed on "apt-get uodate" that it's returning 404 for the caffeine ppa
[19:47] <Goose_> I noticed that earlier too
[19:47] <haza-w`> Chotaz: Typo?
[19:48] <TimeVirus> Nixie Pixel is a hotty too :) :P
[19:48] <TimeVirus> well ish
[19:48] <Ben64> !ot
[19:48] <marcelo_> lol
[19:48] <Chotaz> haza-w`: already checked. I copied the ppa link from webupd8
[19:48] <treelzebub> i'll give Atom a shot. I'm not sold on my 14.10 install. might go back to 14.04. having hella encryption + swap issues.
[19:49] <haza-w`> Chotaz: You could always download the package directly: https://launchpad.net/~caffeine-developers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/6732658
[19:49] <sjsj> Guys I need help
[19:49] <Ben64> dont ^
[19:50] <sjsj> my pc is stuck on rescue mode
[19:50] <haza-w`> I don't think the ppa exists under Utopic, which would explain the 404
[19:50] <sjsj> I just wanted to know if there is a solution
[19:50] <Ben64> haza-w`: Chotaz: caffeine is in the ubuntu repositories, no point in adding a ppa for it anyway
[19:50] <Chotaz> haza-w`: huh, thanks, i was not finding the link on the launchpad website
[19:51] <Ben64> Chotaz: don't install the package manually, you'll have a bad time
[19:51] <Chotaz> Ben64: i was not finding any package by that name before adding the ppa anyways.
[19:51] <Ben64> ooh, it got removed in 14.10
[19:52] <Chotaz> so I'm stuck with installing it manually I guess?
[19:52] <Ben64> no
[19:52] <Ben64> don't do it
[19:54] <hunesco> hello
[19:54] <TimeVirus> is 'Keypass' the best way to do Authentication these days?

[19:56] <TimeVirus> ok HeroCC
[19:56] <TimeVirus> thanks
[19:56] <treelzebub> TimeVirus, I think the official answer is this: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/accounts/AccountManager.html
[19:56] <treelzebub> shit
[19:56] <treelzebub> no
[19:56] <treelzebub> wrong channel. don't listen to me :D
[19:56] <pilsnerpopper> I am unable to read text in the ubuntu software center
[19:56] <OerHeks> hunesco, no, that is a stupid letter in a filename
[19:56] <pilsnerpopper> text and background are same color I think
[19:57] <hunesco> I need rename before copy?
[19:57] <hunesco> OerHeks indeed
[19:57] <OerHeks> hunesco, yes, good luck with that, what OS allows a '&' in a filename?
[19:57] <TimeVirus> lol great nick pilsnerpopper  but it should be lager(licker?)
[19:58] <hunesco> i really dont know, i hope so
[19:58] <hunesco> tks ;)
[19:58] <jhutchins> hunesco: try putting a \ in front of each non-text character (including space).
[19:59] <pilsnerpopper> TimeVirus, Pilsner is a lager :)
[19:59] <pilsnerpopper> I do like Lagerlicker though, hahah
[19:59] <TimeVirus> lol noooooooooo
[20:00] <TimeVirus> :)
[20:00] <pilsnerpopper> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilsner
[20:00] <TimeVirus> hmmm
[20:00] <TimeVirus> corrected I do stand pilsnerpopper
[20:00] <TimeVirus> ;)
[20:01] <OerHeks> jhutchins, like this: cp \&filename /path/to/target
[20:01] <OerHeks> ?
[20:01] <pilsnerpopper> I actually learned that not too long ago too
[20:03] <TimeVirus> Ybor Gold is my favorite, though its mighty hard to find after that would have to be YengLing(sp?)
[20:04] <TimeVirus> Ybor Gold is a microbrew-Tampa, FL
[20:04] <TimeVirus> great lager
[20:04] <OerHeks> !ot | TimeVirus, please use #ubuntu-offtopic for beer chat

[20:25] <dfinninger> anyone know if there is an ubuntu-core img?
[20:27] <hydruid> treelzebub: thank you!
[20:27] <lyze> ohai :)
[20:28] <treelzebub> hydruid, replace "precise" in that url with whatever version of server you're running, to make sure the info is relevant :)
[20:29] <sopparus> is there a way to get some kind of output of a no working crontab?
[20:31] <OerHeks> dfinninger, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/ or join #ubuntu-devel for support https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Core
[20:31] <Guest17943> hi to all

I'm currently trying install php5 with ZTS enabled, according to this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25686800/how-to-recompile-php-with-zts-enabled-on-ubuntu there is PPA for that. But I added the ppa and update&upgraded my system. Still the ZTS support is missing. Any ideas
[20:54] <gr33n7007h> Lamp: not sure then :(
[20:54] <Iltsu> ?
[20:54] <Lamp> ok np
[20:55] <gr33n7007h> Lamp: others still might know in here :)

[21:02] <marcelo_> Hey, does any of you guys know how to get a window always showing in front of other windows being used?
[21:03] <Yves> Win or Linux?
[21:03] <Yves> marcelo_: ^
[21:03] <marcelo_> linux of course :)
[21:04] <coderman1> what is the right mpm to use on ubuntu apache for a website with high concurrency?
[21:04] <zotta> marcelo_:  googe sait this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4345224/x11-xlib-window-always-on-top

[21:05] <amateurbrainsurg> question about the gui software updater.  At some pint I unchecked a couple of packages to update, now they always show up when my software updater pops up.  I cant select them to check the box to update, why?  I have updated through the command line and these two packages always shows up later in the gui updater.
[21:05] <OerHeks> marcelo_, most apps can be controlled with left mouse > allways on top
[21:07] <Yves> marcelo_: in Gnome, right click on the bar that represent the window you want to be on top.  Then just tell "always on top"
[21:09] <Inv1s1ble> In an upstat script, in the post-stop stansa, can I get the former PID of the currently running process?
[21:10] <marcelo_> OerHeks, Yves thx guys
[21:10] <Yves> np :)
[21:12] <zotta> can someone tell my why linking something with -lfstfar fails, even when ldconfig finds libfstfar.so ?
[21:22] <yuuchan> On my LTS system after suspension the lock screen password is always incorrect. This is strange, because if i lock the screen previously with "dm-tool lock" I don't get this error.
[21:23] <yuuchan> Where can I add a script to run "dm-tool lock" before suspending?
[21:23] <thechitowncubs> yuuchan, http://askubuntu.com/questions/250690/how-to-run-a-script-when-suspending-resuming-sony-vaio-ubuntu-12-04
[21:23] <thechitowncubs> yuuchan, try googling first
[21:24] <yuuchan> thank you very much..
[21:24] <pilsnerpopper> I am having trouble getting youtube to be fullscreen
[21:24] <pilsnerpopper> any ideas of where to start?
[21:25] <code-guru> what kind of trouble do you have?
[21:25] <code-guru> what browser do u use?
[21:25] <yuuchan> however I have aleady tried this solution, the result was that the command is run AFTER suspension, which breaks both suspension and lock-screen
[21:28] <_Rarity> Hello. I'm not getting any answer in #ubuntu-unity, so I am going to ask here:
[21:28] <_Rarity>  Is it possible to separate the workspaces on each monitor in a multi-monitor setup? (When you change a workspace on a monitor #1, the workspace stays the same on monitor #2)
[21:28] <Naphatul> anyone happen to know of a ppa or a way i can install synergy 1.6.2?
[21:29] <pilsnerpopper> code-guru, I am using firefox and when I click full-screen, nothing happens and the normal-size video freezes
[21:29] <pilsnerpopper> code-guru, hitting escape will allow me to continue watching in normal view
[21:30] <stef1a> i'm using Ubuntu 15.04 on a 64-bit machine and I'm having trouble installing Skype. help?
[21:30] <code-guru> does this happen when u use Google Chrome ?
[21:30] <OerHeks> !vivid | stef1a
[21:30] <thechitowncubs> stef1a, provide more information
[21:31] <OerHeks> support in #ubuntu+1 untill release
[21:31] <Naphatul> i see there's a vivid build for 1.6.2 but i don't see a .deb, is it provided elsewhere?
[21:33] <marcelo_> stef1a, you can go to the skype website and Download the ubuntu .deb package. Double click (will open the software center) and it will install it for you
[21:34] <Naphatul> nevermind found the deb
[21:34] <stef1a> marcelo_: I get the error, "cannot install libqtwebkit:i386"
[21:34] <stef1a> libqtwebkit4:i386
[21:34] <yuuchan> In any case, is there a good alternative to pm-utils?
[21:34] <stef1a> when I try to install this with apt-get, I get unmet dependency errors
[21:35] <yuuchan> stef1a try apt-get update
[21:35] <marcelo_> see if this dependency will fix the problem https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/vivid/+package/libqtwebkit-dev
[21:35] <marcelo_> Wait, I think that's the wrong link
[21:36] <Yves> You know DropBox?
[21:36] <OerHeks> stef1a, you will get all sorts of solutions, you should ask in #ubuntu+1
[21:36] <stef1a> OerHeks: okay, thanks
[21:36] <hay207> hi guys, i have a very basic question, how are we supposed to switch between open applications using mouse?
[21:36] <roxlu> hi
[21:37] <marcelo_> OerHeks, I know it doesn't use the mouse, but you could try Alt+TAB which is awesome for switching applications
[21:38] <roxlu> I just updated from ubuntu 13 to 14. After the requested reboot it's not opening the desktop anymore. I see a terminal with some info like /dev /sys no such file or directory. Anyone who knows what may cause that or how to fix it?
[21:38] <pilsnerpopper> type "startx"
[21:38] <pilsnerpopper> startx
[21:38] <roxlu> pilsnerpopper startx is not a command
[21:38] <roxlu> I think I'm in some sort of rescue shell
[21:39] <OerHeks> wrong, startx is old, sudo start lightdm, or try crtl alt F7 first
[21:39] <roxlu> Busybox v1.21
[21:39] <pilsnerpopper> when did startx stop being used? hahah
[21:39] <roxlu> OerHeks sudo not found :/
[21:39] <kikoo_>  what happens if I install Ubuntu on Windows drive? Will my Windows stuff get overwritten?  I dont get the option to install "side by side"
[21:39] <hay207> i installed window-list indicator for this mission
[21:40] <OerHeks> startx disappeared with GDM
[21:40] <yuuchan> roxlu try su
[21:40] <franz123> hello
[21:41] <franz123> i need some help with an installation of ubuntu server
[21:41] <pilsnerpopper> makes sense, I still use it for raspbian
[21:41] <roxlu> yuuchan I found this post, which describes the same issue: http://askubuntu.com/questions/452631/ubuntu-14-04-doesn-t-boot-after-upgrade-from-12-04-installed-inside-windows-8-1
[21:41] <roxlu> with solution
[21:41] <roxlu> (fingerscrossed)
[21:42] <franz123> the display show me some error, like "mount: mounting /dev/sda on /media failed: Invalid argument"
[21:42] <OerHeks> roxlu, inside windows 8?
[21:42] <franz123> somebody to help me?
[21:42] <roxlu> No, I have a dual boot system
[21:42] <roxlu> win8 +ubuntu
[21:42] <OerHeks> roxlu, i would boot in single user mode, and perform: sudo apt-get install -f # to see if that solves anything
[21:43] <roxlu> OerHeks thanks, but what about this solution: http://askubuntu.com/questions/452631/ubuntu-14-04-doesn-t-boot-after-upgrade-from-12-04-installed-inside-windows-8-1  ?
[21:44] <roxlu> ah that seems to work
[21:45] <stef1a> re: skype for 15.04: it looks like people have gotten this working herer: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2266266. when i try sudo apt-get install skype:i386, i get an unmet dependencies error. any ideas? (the ubuntu+1 channel is pretty quiet)
[21:46] <roxlu> OerHeks yep that works fine.
[21:47] <hay207> what is the desktop environment used in ubuntu phones?
[21:47] <popey> Unity 8
[21:48] <hay207> will gnome and kde environments run?
[21:48] <popey> hay207: out of the box, no. It doesn't ship with X or Wayland, which they both require.
[21:48] <k1l> you dont want gnome or kde to be used by finger touch only
[21:49] <hay207> is there an article about unity importance?
[21:49] <popey> importance?
[21:49] <k1l> what do you mean by "importance"?
[21:49] <k1l> if you mean something like marketshare you will get 12 answers if you ask 10 guys
[21:50] <hay207> what is unity and its icapabilities
[21:50] <hay207> not clear enough in wikipedia
[21:51] <k1l> unity7, the thing you actually see as standard desktop on the ubuntu desktop so far is a gnome-shell working with compiz running on the gnome3 basis.
[21:52] <Bray9082_> How would I mount an SMB location with the terminal
[21:53] <hay207> so unity  replaces gnome-shell?
[21:53] <Bray9082_> Sorry I meant connect to
[21:53] <popey> hay207: unity is an alternative to gnome shell or kde, yes.
[21:53] <hay207> i cant use gnome extensions with unity
[21:53] <popey> hay207: you cannot
[21:53] <popey> unity is not gnome shell.
[21:53] <popey> completely different technologies
[21:54] <k1l> hay207: unity is another shell for the gnome basis. the gnome-shell is standard shell that gnome uses. its a different thing but both use the same basis.
[21:55] <hay207> and gnomeshell has no touch capabilities i guess
[21:55] <popey> dunno, never used it
[21:56] <k1l> well they should work with touch. but they are not optimized for it, so there are some actions that are very tricky to use instead of beeing easy to use.
[21:57] <hay207> ok thanks guys for clarification
[21:57] <nickerSLAVEgg> hi all
[21:57] <nickerSLAVEgg> asl+race pls
[21:58] <hay207> i love ubuntu, waiting for ubuntu phones and tablets
[22:00] <stef1a> now it says skype-bin is a virtual package...
[22:01] <popey> stef1a: do you have the canonical partner archive enabled?
[22:01] <popey> stef1a: (that's where I have the skype-bin:i386 package installed from)
[22:01] <stef1a> popey: looks like it, yeah
[22:03] <k1l> stef1a: can you show a "apt-cache policy skype" in a pastebin?
[22:05] <stef1a> k1l: http://pastebin.com/JJNucJsJ
[22:05] <watsoncomputers>  #ubuntu-gnome live dvd has no desktop on aopen 965D media player, no efi boot from USB even on another efi based bios mb asus E35M1-Deluxe MB (Amd). It does run Kodi-Ubuntu. New User thanks for your help.
[22:06] <k1l> stef1a: you are mixing repos. that is very bad. if you use 15.04 please ask in #ubuntu+q and make sure that in your source.list there is not utopic.
[22:06] <k1l> stef1a: or better: show a "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" in a pastebin to be sure
[22:07] <genii> stef1a: Vivid has a Partner repository caontaining Skype. You should try installing it that way first, as I said to you in #ubuntu+1 already
[22:07] <stef1a> http://pastebin.com/kkynzR4F
[22:08] <kiro> hola
[22:08] <stef1a> i'm unsure how to enable / disable the correct sources
[22:08] <kiro> hello
[22:08] <kiro> i need help
[22:08] <genii> !repos | stef1a
[22:09] <kiro> necesito ayuda
[22:09] <k1l> stef1a: ok. do a "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" then go to the lines  that contain the "utopic" (51 and 52 in the paste) and make a "#" at the beginning of that line. then press ctrl+o for saving and then ctrl+x for exit.
[22:10] <genii> kiro: You can ask your question either in this channel in English, or in the #ubuntu-es channel in Spanish
[22:10] <k1l> stef1a: then "sudo apt-get update" to get the new list. then for more support please ask in #ubuntu+1 :)
[22:11] <limbera> i'm configuring an ubuntu server for a web application and i want to lock down the security so that only root can login via ssh
[22:11] <limbera> is that a good/reasonable approach?
[22:12] <k1l> limbera: that is the total wrong approach
[22:12] <genii> The more reasonable approach is that root is never allowed to login by ssh
[22:12] <admin_> hj
[22:12] <limbera> i see
[22:13] <k1l> limbera: so you could make it work only by key auth (and make sure you dont loose you key :) )
[22:13] <limbera> what are some terms i can google to learn more about that
[22:13] <genii> limbera: You might want to look at this article: http://blog.mattbrock.co.uk/hardening-the-security-on-ubuntu-server-14-04/
[22:14] <limbera> thanks
[22:15] <adminX1X> anyone know why my toolbar keeps disapearing... im running ubuntu 11.4
[22:15] <tgm4883> !eol | adminX1X
[22:16] <Bray9082_> How would I connect to an SMB location through the terminal
[22:17] <k1l> adminX1X: no one is going to fix stuff on software that is not meant to run anymore anyway. so upgrade to 11.10 and then 12.04 at least
[22:17] <OerHeks> adminX1X, 11.04 or 14.04 ? there are hide settings in 14.04 systemsettings>appearance
[22:18] <tgm4883> Bray9082_: something similar to "mount -t cifs //server-name/share-name /mnt/cifs -o username=shareuser,password=sharepassword,domain=nixcraft"
[22:19] <Bray9082_> tgm4883: could I replace server name with the IP Address
[22:19] <tgm4883> Bray9082_: yes
[22:19] <yuuchan> When waking my machine from suspension lightdm doesn't let me unlock the screen. Password is always incorrect, even when it's not
[22:19] <yuuchan> What could be causing this problem?
[22:20] <narfnarfnarf> I’m on lubuntu 14.04 LTS  and try to share my desktop via xrdp. It works but it always opens a new x session; i would like to share the local session that I am logged in. How?
[22:20] <yuuchan> I have already reconfigured it with dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
[22:20] <yuuchan> I still get the same behavior
[22:21] <vlt> narfnarfnarf: Have a look at x11vnc. It’s – you might have guessed – vnc though.
[22:22] <narfnarfnarf> vlt: does this mean I cannot share a session via xrdp? only login to a new session on the same machine?
[22:22] <rypervenche> narfnarfnarf: You can run x11vnc as your user with something like "x11vnc -display :0 -forever"
[22:23] <vlt> narfnarfnarf: No. That did mean infact that I know of a tool named x11vnc which does something similar.
[22:23] <narfnarfnarf> vlt: ok, thanks
[22:23] <narfnarfnarf> but it’s a requirement for me that it uses RDP
[22:23] <narfnarfnarf> =/
[22:24] <vlt> narfnarfnarf: Maybe now that you know that there’s x11vnc you can be a little more soecific in what you type into your search engine to solve that problem ;-)
[22:24] <tgm4883> narfnarfnarf: what are you using to connect to the RDP session?
[22:24] <trillnasty> I don't have a USB stick or a CD drive, is there any other way to install Ubuntu?
[22:25] <vlt> !install | trillnasty
[22:25] <narfnarfnarf> tgm4883: atm Microsoft Remote Desktop on Mac
[22:25] <tgm4883> narfnarfnarf: have you tried the options to connect to the "console"?
[22:26] <k1l> trillnasty: its easier if you just get a cd/dvd or usb. other ways might be more time consuming than just to get that install medias :)
[22:26] <trillnasty> k1l: Well I can get my hands on a USB stick tomorrow, but I need to install Ubuntu today.
[22:26] <narfnarfnarf> tgm4883: it says - error connecting; i need to enter a password, but compared to the other variants there’s no username field…
[22:26] <vlt> trillnasty: but possible
[22:27] <tgm4883> narfnarfnarf: have you looked at this http://askubuntu.com/questions/235905/use-xrdp-to-connect-to-desktop-session
[22:27] <k1l> trillnasty: see the bots message
[22:30] <redemptionsong> Has anyone heard a problem where nautilus starts showing hidden forlders all the time - all of a sudden?
[22:30] <redemptionsong> folders I mean
[22:31] <k1l> redemptionsong: press ctrl+h
[22:31] <bekks> Hide them by pressing ctrl h
[22:31] <redemptionsong> bekks: That's all well and good - but the next time it's fired up you're right back to seeing them all again
[22:32] <narfnarfnarf> tgm4883: yes, and I still get: error connecting
[22:32] <redemptionsong> oh, I found it. Just hadden't thought of what to do until now
[22:32] <OerHeks> redemptionsong, check the settings, i find it handy
[22:33] <redemptionsong> OerHeks: Yeah, I found the settings   :)

[22:35] <AfterDarkness> is it possible to format a ntfs HDD that was hibernated? i dont have access to windows
[22:36] <k1l> AfterDarkness: you can format (means erasing all the data) the partition with a live ubuntu system.
[22:37] <AfterDarkness> i already have ubuntu i mounted the HDD on read mode to back it up
[22:37] <AfterDarkness> now that i finished i want to format it but i was afraid that it might brick the HDD
[22:37] <AfterDarkness> dunno
[22:37] <AfterDarkness> new technology file system my ass
[22:38] <k1l> no. that will not break the hdd. just the data in there will be lost (what is the intention on formating anyway : ) )
[22:38] <k1l> just open gparted for that task. but be aware not to touch the other partitions from ubuntu
[22:38] <trillnasty> Is it possible to install Ubuntu in under 256mb and then install the rest from the system itself?
[22:38] <AfterDarkness> yeah i noted the name sda1 for the 1tb HDD and sdb for boot
[22:39] <AfterDarkness> sdb has a swap it wont be easy to make a mistake and formate the other one even if i wanted to lol
[22:47] <fofgh> trillnasty, debootstrap
[22:50] <Bray9082_> tgm4883: That code you gave me before seems to have to write permissions
[22:52] <limbera> where is the appropriate place to store public keys
[22:52] <limbera> ~/.ssh
[22:52] <limbera> or ~/Users/<username>/.ssh
[22:52] <limbera> for an ubuntu server
[22:53] <rypervenche> limbera: Really it doesn't matter where they go. By default, they are located in ~/.ssh for a user.
[22:53] <limbera> ok thanks
[22:53] <rypervenche> limbera: If you have them in a non-standard location, you will need to either create a config file (~/.ssh/config) or use the -i option to specific the location of the key.
[22:54] <rypervenche> limbera: I would say best practice is to keep it in the user's ~/.ssh directory though.
[22:55] <limbera> ok
[22:55] <limbera> so i'm  trying to lock down my server and prevent ssh login and only allow key autgh
[22:55] <limbera> *auth
[22:55] <limbera> i've generated a pub/private key combo on my local machine and i've transferred the public key to my server
[22:56] <limbera> should i just leave it in ~/.ssh
[22:56] <Sacramento1986> hello, i see my motherboard sound hdas in dmesg but not anymore in sound manager since like a week, i now work with a usb soundcard
[22:56] <limbera> security wise is there any difference between ~/.ssh vs ~/<user>/.ssh
[22:56] <rypervenche> limbera: If you are only having people log into the server, then you don't need to create keys for the users on the server.
[22:56] <Sacramento1986> where can i look for more informations on the topic, or i didnt enter the right keyowrds
[22:57] <limbera> yep rypervenche so 1 key in ~/.ssh to allow root access is sufficient and sage?
[22:57] <limbera> *safe
[22:57] <imbezol> limbera: ~/<user>/.ssh is likely not quite correct. It should be ~<user>/.ssh
[22:57] <limbera> yeah i was being lazy and using brevity
[22:57] <k1l> limbera: ~ is already /home/user/
[22:57] <limbera> oh gotcha
[22:57] <rypervenche> lol
[22:58] <imbezol> k1l: if logged in as ~user :)
[22:58] <limbera> i didn't realise :P
[22:58] <rypervenche> limbera: You might want to check my private message as well.
[22:59] <tgm4883> Bray9082_: huh?
[22:59] <Bray9082_> tgm4883: mount -t cifs //server-name/share-name /mnt/cifs -o username=shareuser,password=sharepassword,domain=nixcraft

[23:03] <Bray9082_> I can write to the drive if i connect to it through the GUI
[23:03] <tgm4883> Bray9082_: if you want to write to it, then you need to give yourself write permissions on the qnap
[23:03] <Bray9082_> tgm4883: I can write to the drive if i connect to it through the GUI
[23:04] <Bray9082_> Wait a second
[23:04] <AfterDarkness> is there a solution for lag when copying a large file?
[23:05] <k1l> AfterDarkness: yes, buy a ssd
[23:06] <AfterDarkness> k1l, i mean come on my mouse is barely moving this not supposed to happen
[23:07] <crepple> k1l I wish I could afford one (large enough) I've been wanting one for while now :(
[23:07] <biella> ah
[23:08] <Bray9082_> tgm4883: if I use brows networks in the GUI I can write to the drive
[23:08] <tgm4883> Bray9082_: what is the error when you try writing there via CMD line
[23:11] <Bray9082_> tgm4883: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/58052be1ffb2c9ddb7c0
[23:11] <Bray9082_> But I can not drag and drop files to the drive
[23:12] <tgm4883> Bray9082_: so it works with sudo?
[23:12] <lasko> You don't have proper permissions setup for /media/backup/data
[23:12] <Lazuratus> Hello, Is it possible to create a samba share using all uppercase letters for the share name? (if I use [plex] in smb.conf, it shows up as 'plex', [Plex] shows up as 'Plex', but [PLEX] shows up as 'plex') :\
[23:14] <Bray9082_> tgm4883: Yes it works with sudo
[23:17] <tgm4883> Bray9082_: then you don't have the access on Linux permissions
[23:18] <Bray9082_> if i set the permissions to 777 on /media/backup should it work
[23:18] <tgm4883> Bray9082_: I'm on my phone right now, but you should just need to give yourself write permissions to that Linux folder
[23:18] <lasko> Bray9082_: I would first off check the permissions and fix them, dont just 777
[23:19] <tgm4883> Bray9082_: that should work, but IMHO that is the incorrect way to fix it
[23:19] <Bray9082_> hum
[23:19] <tgm4883> Bray9082_: look up chown
[23:20] <OerHeks> see what group that  /media/backup belongs to, and add yourself to that
[23:20] <lasko> ^ That
[23:20] <cage_raphel> hello!!
[23:20] <lasko> cage_raphel: Hello
[23:20] <cage_raphel> lasko, : how are you mate ?? i need help connecting to wireless.
[23:21] <lasko> I'd be happy to help, next time jsut ask the question all 1 line and someone will answer if they know the answer.
[23:21] <cage_raphel> lasko, : i am running a ubuntu 14.10.. my wifi was working perfectly alright until for some reason my wifi stopped working..  and everytime i press the wifi key it seems to tuen the areoplane mode on and not the actual wifi.
[23:22] <lasko> cage_raphel: Do you see the interface in ifconfig (probably named something like wlan0)?
[23:22] <cage_raphel> lasko, : i am just a beginner when it comes to linux.. do i need to run a ifconfig?
[23:23] <demorg> Hi
[23:23] <lasko> cage_raphel: ifconfig is a command that will show you information about interfaces.
[23:23] <demorg> ?
[23:23] <lasko> !ask | demorg
[23:23] <gabrielsch> black screen after installing nvidia drivers, when I install it's ok, but after rebooting I can't see anything
[23:24] <gabrielsch> gnome starts to load, but freezes
[23:24] <gabrielsch> the logs aren't helping me
[23:24] <lasko> cage_raphel: Open a terminal and run the command, and check to see if you see a wlan0 interface.

[23:25] <lasko> cage_raphel: I presume you are using an ethernet connection at the moment?
[23:25] <cage_raphel> lasko, : that is right.. i am running a ethernet connection at the moment,
[23:26] <lasko> cage_raphel: Can you also provide the output for the command  sudo lshw -c network
[23:26] <adminxx> k1l thanks .. im about to upgrade to 14 ina min
[23:27] <cage_raphel> lasko, : http://paste.ubuntu.com/10612666/
[23:28] <monk12_> hey all, I have a GPT disk and UEFI BIOS dual boot question ... I installed Window7 1st cause I heard its paritions/bootloader are kinda picky. than afterwards I setup ubuntu... so my drive setup looks like /sda1 (ntfs Windows), /sda2 (fat32 Windows boot/esp drive), /sda3 (that other special partition Windows creates labeled msftres). /sda4 (linux /boot), /sda5 (linux /home), /sda6 (linux /), /sda7 (linux swap space)...
[23:28] <lasko> cage_raphel: Okay so atleast in that last pastebin we can see that the hardware is recognized but is currently "DISABLED". It looks like the inteface is going to be called wlan0.  Can you perform the command ifconfig wlan0
[23:29] <monk12_> I used to use EasyBCD then to just add the linux /boot drive to the Windows 7 Boot Manager. but i realized it was prob on MBR and EasyBCD seems to now not allow GPT as Windows protects its BCD their developer told me.
[23:29] <cage_raphel> lasko, : http://paste.ubuntu.com/10612673/
[23:30] <monk12_> it actually messed up my BCD so i had to boot into the Windows DVD and use the boot commands to clean it up... My question is should i put GRUB2 somehow into that /sda2 drive? possibly/recommended for Dual Boot?
[23:30] <lasko> cage_raphel: Okay, give me a few moments to look through.
[23:30] <cage_raphel> lasko, : sure mate.. thank you :)
[23:30] <monk12_> i heard of maybe using 'bootrepair' to do this. but wasnt sure if you can overwrite the Windows BCD boot drive safetly
[23:32] <lasko> cage_raphel: Can you try "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up"   --- and then if it errors to pastebin the errors, and if no errors show up, provide the output for ifconfig wlan0
[23:33] <cage_raphel> lasko, : http://paste.ubuntu.com/10612690/
[23:34] <Bray9082_> tgm4883: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/8ebcd6583a8eead43b88
[23:34] <lasko> cage_raphel: Okay. Lets try something else then.   pastebin the output for   rfkill list
[23:35] <cage_raphel> lasko, : http://paste.ubuntu.com/10612695/
[23:36] <lasko> cage_raphel: rfkill unblock 1
[23:37] <lasko> cage_raphel: Then try rfkill list again
[23:37] <cage_raphel> lasko, : http://paste.ubuntu.com/10612702/
[23:38] <lasko> cage_raphel: hmmm... how about   sudo rfkill unblock all
[23:38] <lasko> And then rfkill list again
[23:39] <lasko> cage_raphel: Just to verify, you currently have the wifi switch turned to on right?
[23:39] <cage_raphel> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10612707/
[23:40] <cage_raphel> lasko, : my wifi switch is in amber.. normally it used to be in bright white.. so i reckon its off.. i also checked the network settings where it says the wifi is off.. and when i try to turn it on.. i am unable to turn it on.. and when i press the amber wifi button .. it simply turns the aeroplane mode on .
[23:41] <lasko> cage_raphel: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10612715/  ---- do those commands and then paste the output of those commands, as well as rfkill list
[23:43] <cage_raphel> lasko, : http://paste.ubuntu.com/10612732/
[23:43] <Bray9082_> tgm4883: lasko: i made some modifications  https://gist.github.com/anonymous/caa06a528a5cf521deee
[23:44] <lasko> cage_raphel: I think the second half of the rfkill list command got cut off.
[23:44] <cage_raphel> lasko, : sorry about that bro..

[23:44] <emanuel> Hello. I have a ideapad z560 that has a (I think) 32 bit kernel. Can I upgrade this to a 64 bit so I can run KVM?
[23:46] <lasko> cage_raphel: hmm very weird. And you've tried to just reboot?
[23:46] <lasko> cage_raphel: Not that that is the "solution" but I'm curious if that actually does fix it.
[23:46] <cage_raphel> lasko, : would u like me to reboot ?
[23:46] <lasko> cage_raphel: Yeah give that a try first. And then come back
[23:47] <cage_raphel> lasko, : sure bro.. will be back in a min.
[23:49] <cage_raphel> lasko, : i just rebooted.. still unable to connect to wifi or turn on the wifi switch
[23:49] <cage_raphel> lasko, : again.. pressing the wifi switch turns on the aeroplane mode
[23:50] <lasko> cage_raphel: Hmm... I'm kind of at a loss for troubleshooting from here. Maybe someone else can assist?
[23:50] <OerHeks> emanuel, i think you can, not upgrade but reinstall
[23:50] <cage_raphel> lasko, : no worries bro.. thank u so much for your help
[23:50] <emanuel> OerHeks, can I reinstall from within  the running session or do I need to burn a new live DVD?
[23:51] <OerHeks> emanuel, burn a dvd or usb, that is fine
[23:51] <Dumle29> Is there any way to make the right-click -> compress option use pigz, so that it will compress with multiple cores?
[23:51] <Dumle29> for bz and gz that is
[23:51] <OerHeks> reinstall in a 32 bit session is very hard to do, save yourself that time
[23:53] <emanuel> OerHeks, thanks. My goal is to run Windows 8 in a Virtual system under Ubuntu/KVM I have 4GB of ram in a dualboot. I run some apps that won't run with WINE and on Win 8 the wireless card doesn't play right with my router (but under Ubuntu it's fine) I'm assuming since KVM will virtualize the haredware it will solve my wifi issue or am I wrong?
[23:54] <OerHeks> emanuel, that is the hard way, but doable with 4 gb, sure
[23:55] <OerHeks> i hope win8 does not complain, it can detect kvm i remember
[23:56] <emanuel> OerHeks, is there an easier way?
[23:56] <fofgh> you may want (legal) Win virtual machines from http://modern.ie
[23:56] <fofgh> though they are the trial time-based versions
[23:58] <OerHeks> emanuel, not that i know of, just keep the win8 install side-by-side, and reinstall ubuntu in 64 bit and try out
[23:58] <xlogik> emaneul, have you looked at virtualbox or QEMU?
