[07:09] <ducasse> good morning all
[13:15] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[17:25] <norbert2212> hello
[19:47] <ducasse> evening all
[19:49] <Bashing-om> ducasse: Is alive and well ! Survived Xmas .. Was the turkey as good as expected ?
[19:50] <ducasse> Bashing-om: it was yummy :) best of all - more turkey coming on new years eve :) how about you, any good presents?
[19:52] <Bashing-om> Oh Yes .. tools and clothes and such .. You did well ?
[19:54] <ducasse> got a couple of things i either really wanted or really needed, so i'm happy. christmas presents tend to not be so interesting when you're over a certain age. the kids scored like bandits, though :)
[19:56] <Bashing-om> ducasse: Uh Huh .. at our age the token presents are more than enough . Save it for the kids ! We only have 6 youngsters left .
[20:10] <ducasse> yep, fun watching the kids going ecstatic over their new toys :) i better get to bed, ttyl Bashing-om. enjoy the rest of the holiday season!
[20:10] <Bashing-om> rest well ducasse / Look forward to later :)


[17:36] <k1l> lounesdh: that are 2 total different linux distribution approaches. stable release vs rolling release. for comparison better ask in ##linux . for old hardware we have lubuntu
[17:36] <lotuspsychje> lounesdh: lubuntu will do fine for your needs
[17:36] <alkisg> lounesdh: how old? cpu/ram?
[17:36] <lounesdh> ram 2GB
[17:36] <lotuspsychje> plenty
[17:37] <alkisg> lounesdh: then you can use any distro you like
[17:37] <lounesdh> cpu dual core
[17:37] <nicomachus> definitely want lubuntu, if you go the ubuntu route. Idk about Unity on 2gb of ram
[17:37] <alkisg> unity and mate and gnome-flashback all run fine with 2 gb ram
[17:37] <Bingo> ran a dual core and dual booted ubuntu back then with jaunty
[17:37] <alkisg> and xfce and lxde
[17:37] <Silenced> okay fine. My laptop is pretty slow with the bootup. How to fix it ? . It has a pretty good hardware though
[17:37] <k1l> unity and 2gb ram works.
[17:37] <nicomachus> alkisg: unity's 3d animations on 2gb ram? would be slow, no?
[17:38] <alkisg> nicomachus: animations are not related to ram, they're related to opengl support from the graphics card
[17:38] <lotuspsychje> nicomachus: depends on the rest of the system also, works like a charm here with 2gig
[17:39] <k1l> nicomachus: its more about the whole system. if its a semprom singlecore with a crappy gpu and 2GB ram, then i would not use unity.
[17:40] <nicomachus> gotcha.
[17:40] <Bingo> I have no idea why MS did not install the ubuntu so that the metro loader does not allow me to choose which from the start up.
[17:41]  * jelly wonders whether Bingo is a bot
[17:41] <Pici> Bingo: I'm still confused what you want to acheive.
[17:42] <Bingo> hmm, remove wubi.. removed the setting, then re-install to the partition left windows  without the ubuntu guid?
[17:43] <Bingo> Pici on start-up, I get no choice. bdcedit says there is no ubuntu.
[17:44] <alkisg> Bingo: wubi goes in a bcdedit entry. Normal ubuntu without wubi uses grub. What are *you* using?
[17:44] <Bingo> Firmware
[17:44] <Pici> Bingo: But you have grub installed too, right? why not tell your bios to boot to that disk by default?
[17:44] <Bingo> boots from same lv..one disk
[17:45] <k1l> dont use wubi.
[17:45] <Bingo> not wubi
[17:45] <alkisg> Has anyone understood which boot loader "firmware" is? :D
[17:45] <Pici> alkisg: uefi thing
[17:45] <alkisg> Pici: I don't think he means that he's using uefi as the boot loader, as he's wondering why there's no ubuntu entry in bcdedit
[17:46] <pradeep> Hello
[17:46] <h4x0riz3d> does ddrescue "clone" the partitions or do i have to create partitions myself before using ddrescue?
[17:46] <lotuspsychje> h4x0riz3d: whats your end goal?
[17:46] <alkisg> h4x0riz3d: if you dd the whole disk, the partitions are copied. E.g. dd if=/dev/sd of=/dev/sdb. If you dd a partition (e.g. sda1), then you need to make the target partition.
[17:46] <k1l> Bingo: ubuntu doesnt have to do anything with the OS windows. so if you make a non-wubi install windows wont notice at all.
[17:47] <Bingo> i got to go to the firmware (f2) to load an OS. or Windows runs straight away, and I have to restart, or troubleshoot to go get grub2 loading ubuntu
[17:47] <pradeep> Can i take a ubuntu os backup with all softwares installed, and deploy the same somewhere in cloud?
[17:47] <h4x0riz3d> lotuspsychje, i have a dying hdd which was set up as dual boot, winXP (with C D E drives) and an ubuntu, which has no important data but is used as a bootloader
[17:47] <k1l> h4x0riz3d: it makes a 1:1 copy on the hardware bit layer of the disk. so it copies that what you say dd(rescue) should copy
[17:47] <lotuspsychje> h4x0riz3d: try to save your data with photorec perhaps?
[17:48] <skypce> hey guys
[17:48] <skypce> can you give me a hand
[17:48] <lotuspsychje> !one | pradeep
[17:48] <skypce> http://www.webupd8.org/2016/03/how-to-save-and-restore-unity-session.html
[17:48] <pradeep> i am experiencing trouble in mygraing my webserver which has lot many connections of loadbalancers and tunnels
[17:48] <skypce> i am trying to register session save automatically
[17:49] <lotuspsychje> !backup | pradeep is still possible
[17:49] <h4x0riz3d> lotuspsychje, i have a new hdd (and bigger) and i want to rescue the winXP stuff, bonus points if i can also make the equivalent D and E partitions slightly bigger, and i'd install a new ubuntu afterwards (to get a bootloader too)
[17:49] <skypce> when logout / reboot / shutdown
[17:49] <pradeep> its a server.
[17:49] <alkisg> Bingo: are you in ubuntu now? What's the output of `sudo lsblk -fs` ?
[17:50] <Bingo> alkisg , not in ubu now
[17:50] <h4x0riz3d> lotuspsychje, i already attempted to do all that, but the result does not boot..
[17:50] <alkisg> Bingo: ok, boot in ubuntu and come back here
[17:50] <skypce> i was added system("session save") in file gsm-manager.c near line 3155
[17:50] <skypce> help help , only works with logout
[17:50] <Bingo> ok alkisg
[17:50] <lotuspsychje> !session | skypce can this help?
[17:51] <alkisg> h4x0riz3d: dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb will make your second, bigger, sdb disk a complete clone of the first one (with the boot sector and everything). Afterwards, when you boot it etc etc, you can resize partitions with gparted.
[17:52] <h4x0riz3d> alkisg, okay, so i just need to create a partition table of type "msdos" on the new hdd, without making partitions?
[17:52] <skypce> lotuspsychje, i want add a program before close applications, not in bootup
[17:52] <alkisg> h4x0riz3d: dd'ing whole disks also makes the partition table, you don't need to prepare the second disk at all
[17:52] <skypce> any idea?
[17:52] <h4x0riz3d> it's already "dirty" from my first attempt
[17:53] <h4x0riz3d> but okay, i get the point
[17:53] <hipaysha> can someone please examin and let me know what's going on here in this pastebin link?
[17:53] <hipaysha> http://pastebin.com/AJHAAaWg
[17:53] <alkisg> h4x0riz3d: it will be overwritten. Of course pay attention to use the correct letters there (sda/sdb etc) so as to not overwrite your source disk...
[17:53] <h4x0riz3d> yeah, surely ;]
[17:54] <lotuspsychje> hipaysha: what are you trying to do?
[17:54] <h4x0riz3d> okay, thanks, i'll try
[17:55] <hipaysha> see why my fire fox enable gave me that reply in terminal
[17:55] <h4x0riz3d> alkisg, actually.. "dd" or "ddrescue" ? because i tried ddrescue since it says it's meant especially for dying harddisks
[17:55] <lotuspsychje> hipaysha: why 'enable'?
[17:56] <alkisg> h4x0riz3d: if your disk has bad sectors and takes a lot of time to read it, yes ddrescue is better
[17:56] <h4x0riz3d> yeah, that's the case
[17:56] <alkisg> If it only has soft issues, like being in need of chkdsk or fsck, then dd is fine
[17:56] <alkisg> ddrescue then, ok
[17:57] <Bingo> alkisg -
[17:57] <alkisg> Bingo:  sudo lsblk -fs ==> put it in pastebin
[17:57] <hipaysha> well when I ran a clam scan I got that I had a firefox virus so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it from terminal
[17:57] <lotuspsychje> hipaysha: running firefox from terminal just type firefox
[17:57] <hipaysha> when I enable it from terminal that pastebin is what I got
[17:57] <hipaysha> ok
[17:58] <Bingo> alkisg - invalid option -- 's'
[17:58] <lotuspsychje> hipaysha: whats the name of the firefox virus clamav found?
[17:58] <teta> how do i solve a "device or resource busy" when doing an rm -Rf
[17:58] <squinty> hipaysha,  you can also see firefox's start options by typing  firefox --help
[17:58] <Bingo> needs --fs
[17:58] <alkisg> Bingo: copy/paste my command to prevent typos
[17:58] <hipaysha> ok thanks
[17:59] <hipaysha> when I enable clamtk from terminal I get the updated version vs enabling it from desktop
[18:00] <alkisg> Bingo: you're right, in older ubuntu versions --fs is needed, use that one
[18:00]  * alkisg is in xenial
[18:00] <Bingo> going to paste
[18:01] <hipaysha> lotuspsychje I forgot the name of the virus it foud...I just uninstalled it
[18:02] <Bingo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/15329255/
[18:03] <alkisg> Bingo: and the output of this? sudo ls -lhaR /boot
[18:03] <taora> hello everyone, filezilla slows down my computer, such that only cursor moves, but nothing else.
[18:04] <taora> is it a known problem?
[18:04] <taora> not slows down, but freezes, to be more precise
[18:04] <taora> it takes really long until the system resumes
[18:05] <teta> how do i solve a "device or resource busy" when doing an rm -Rf
[18:06] <smoker05> hello.
[18:06] <smoker05> While installing AMD GPU driver.
[18:06] <smoker05> I am getting this error.
[18:06] <smoker05> Please install the required pre-requisites before proceeding with AMD Catalyst installation. Please check file usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log for more details.
[18:06] <Bingo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/15329288/
[18:06] <smoker05> I found this : http://askubuntu.com/questions/544661/pre-requisites-for-amd-graphics-drivers
[18:07] <smoker05> I pasted those command, and still it is showing me that error.
[18:07] <smoker05> Any idea, what to do.
[18:07] <Bingo> i know compiz had to have a different driver was fglrx
[18:08] <Bingo> on  amd catalyst
[18:08] <nicomachus> smoker05: did you check the log file like is recommended?
[18:08] <smoker05> check where?
[18:08] <nicomachus> smoker05: it's in the error you posted... /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log
[18:08] <alkisg> Bingo: some things are missing, do this instead: ls -lhaR /boot > /tmp/output; gedit /tmp/output ==> and then select all and put it to pastebin
[18:08] <smoker05> I am trying to install driver from almost like 2 days now.
[18:09] <smoker05> i was following this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tc8s5yhylbo
[18:10] <smoker05> how can I view that log file ?
[18:10] <nicomachus> smoker05: gedit /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log
[18:11] <nicomachus> smoker05: that will open the file in gedit, and you can peruse it for any clues. Or you can copy/paste it to paste.ubuntu.com and then share that link here.
[18:11] <smoker05> ok, yeah it opened.
[18:11] <al8989> hello everyone, is there a way to check and see if a pc is compatible with ubuntu linux i was goign to buy a new windows 10 pc but wanted to insteadput ubuntu on it
[18:11] <smoker05> nicomachus, http://paste.ubuntu.com/15329325/
[18:11] <nicomachus> al8989: it's compatible.
[18:12] <nicomachus> smoker05: those instructions seem pretty clear.
[18:12] <al8989> doesn't matter what kind of wireless card is in it and such?
[18:12] <nicomachus> al8989: the only wireless card I've seen issues with is the realtek chipsets.
[18:12] <Bingo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/15329330/
[18:12] <smoker05> nicomachus, should I follow that andd reboot?
[18:13] <nicomachus> al8989: rtl8192cu and rtl8188ee can be tricky, but otherwise should be fine.
[18:13] <nicomachus> smoker05: well, yea.
[18:15] <al8989> nicomachus: cool thank you i have several ubuntu pc's in mybusiness but they are all a couple years old atleast and the one pc i had was 8 yersold and just died and I need to replace it so figured i'd buy a new one i figured the hp would be my best bet since their printers works well in ubuntu
[18:15] <alkisg> Bingo: it looks like you ran boot-repair etc and now it's a bit of a mess. I think it will work as you want it if you copy /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi to /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi, overwriting bootx64.efi. Make a backup of it first.
[18:16] <Bingo> backup grub or bootx64?
[18:16] <alkisg> the target file, bootx64.efi
[18:17] <Bingo> crosses fingers
[18:17] <alkisg> Bingo: sudo mv /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi.bak; sudo cp /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi
[18:20] <nomoney4me> hi all
[18:20] <al8989> nicomachus: also should i dual booth the windows 10 or just skip because  of all the tracking and privacy concerns and such that come with windows 10
[18:21] <Bingo> alkisg - I have to sudo and do it via terminal?  denied permission
[18:22] <alkisg> Bingo: my commands do have sudo there
[18:22] <alkisg> Did you see them above?
[18:22] <alkisg> (08:17:27 μμ) alkisg: Bingo: sudo mv /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi.bak; sudo cp /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi
[18:22] <nomoney4me> question: I noticed that my /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd is running at about 26% when my machine is at idle.  And there are 5 instances of them.  Taking up total of 50% of my CPU usage.  This doesn't sound right, is it?
[18:22] <SirCmpwn_> greetings
[18:22] <SirCmpwn_> I'm coming to you from the ubuntu installation live environment
[18:22] <Bingo> no sorry. I did copy target away..
[18:23] <Bingo> Sudo up and return alkisg -
[18:24] <SirCmpwn_> I've manually partitioned my disks with a fancy LUKS setup with dm-crypt and such. The disks I want are available in /dev/mapper/ and I have created filesystems on them. I'm doing seperate partitions for /, /home, and /boot, and I have prepared an EFI partition. / and /home are seperate encrypted devices and the disks I want to install them on are /dev/mapper/{root,home}
[18:24] <SirCmpwn_>  /boot and /home and / are all ext4 and the EFI partition is set to EF00 with GPT and has no additional setup on it
[18:25] <SirCmpwn_> during the installation, I went to customize my partition layout and set all of the disks appropriately, but when I proceed with the install this message appears: The attempt to mount a file system with type vfat in /dev/nvme0n1p1 at /boot/efi failed.
[18:26] <SirCmpwn_> I'm going to try mounting /boot and creating efi on it myself, and formatting the EFI partition as vfat and confirming that it can be mounted correctly
[18:26] <SirCmpwn_> but I would appreciate advice on this
[18:27] <Bingo> alkisg - So just reboot to see ?

[18:36] <smoker05> ATI HD 7950.
[18:37] <nicomachus> smoker05: well that's for fedora, not ubuntu.
[18:37] <smoker05> ohh
[18:37] <smoker05> I thought the script will work.

[18:43] <smoker05> No, i ddont have skype installed.
[18:43] <Bingo> alkisig - i have copy of windows boot loading scheme (bcdedit current)
[18:43] <smoker05> 14.04.4
[18:44] <alkisg> Bingo: bcdedit is *after* the uefi boot loader, so it's not related to your issue
[18:44] <k1l> smoker05: i would test if this helps: http://askubuntu.com/a/477095/31260
[18:45] <smoker05> ok, let me try that and reboot.
[18:45] <smoker05> I
[18:45] <smoker05> I'll let you know.
[18:45] <Bingo> alkisg - doesn't winblows have to have bootmgr to load to give a choice?
[18:45] <LJHSLDJHSDLJH> popey: it's not only about how much evolution alone is taking of the RAM .. it's about all other none used apps memory consumption
[18:45] <alkisg> Bingo: no, windows can't load ubuntu, it's too late when bootmgr is loaded
[18:46] <thumpba> how can i get net.nf_conntrack_max setting to 1048576 to persist after a reboot. I've changed it in /etc/sysctl.conf but the the value changes back to 65536 after reboot
[18:46] <smoker05> k1l, after putting the 1st command, I got this error "rm: cannot remove ‘/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.2.0’: No such file or directory"
[18:46] <alkisg> Bingo: it sounds like your firmware is messy, you might be able to (1) find an updated version, or (2) use manpages.ubuntu.com/efibootmgr to bypass the issue
[18:46] <thumpba> im on 14.04
[18:46] <k1l> Bingo: windows bootmanager doesnt care about other OS. so all your windows bootmanager stuff is not helping. as said before.
[18:46] <Bingo> alkisg - before  windows loaded, then i select ubuntu, and got the firmware
[18:46] <popey> LJHSLDJHSDLJH: okay then.
[18:46] <k1l> smoker05: go ahead with second line

[18:48] <alkisg> Bingo: yes, wubi is using the windows boot manager, but you deleted wubi, so the windows boot manager now is not used to boot ubuntu
[18:48] <genii> Gah, wubi
[18:48] <smoker05> k1l, after putting the 2nd command, I got this : "ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1.2.0’: File exists"
[18:48] <Bingo> alkisg - so i have to use grub
[18:48] <alkisg> Yes, only grubefi can boot ubuntu under uefi
[18:49] <Bingo> ok.. you're really great alkisg, now what to do to use grub2 bootlading?
[18:49] <alkisg> (08:46:15 μμ) alkisg: Bingo: it sounds like your firmware is messy, you might be able to (1) find an updated version, or (2) use manpages.ubuntu.com/efibootmgr to bypass the issue
[18:50] <Bingo> manpages talked about cleaning
[18:51] <Bingo> version of Grub in 14.04 not ?
[18:51] <smoker05> k1l, what to do now :(
[18:51] <Bingo> omg.. I gtg alkisg
[18:51] <glassHeart> smoker05 have you tried using the normal installer?
[18:51] <alkisg> bb
[18:51] <Bingo> Appointment
[18:52] <Bingo> Yer great tho.. tyvm
[18:52] <smoker05> i did.
[18:52] <glassHeart> k
[18:53] <k1l> smoker05: i cant test it right now since i dont have a system running here to check
[18:53] <smoker05> The thing is that Dota2 (Steam game) working fine, but the Counter Strike (steam game) is givng me the error.
[18:53] <thumpba> how can i get net.nf_conntrack_max setting to 1048576 to persist after a reboot. I've changed it in /etc/sysctl.conf but the the value changes back to 65536 after reboot
[18:53] <araina> hello
[18:53] <araina> i m new to irc
[18:54] <smoker05> Can you check via team viwer ? It will hardly take 2 mins, just a quick peek ? k1l
[18:54] <smoker05> m trying from 2 days now, to install driver.
[18:54] <smoker05> Because with no driver, I am getting 70-80 fps, and with driver, 250+ fps.
[18:55] <LinuxAZ> araina welcome to the 1990's
[18:55] <glassHeart> I had trouble too with steam. which obviosly is why I wanted to install the driver. I just installed the driver from the software center and now the games in steam work.. Haven't tried CS tho
[18:55] <smoker05> And I am new to linux, so I am trying my best to gasp as much as possible.
[18:55] <k1l> smoker05: sorry, i dont even have teamviewer in here. but you can see if that is working: http://askubuntu.com/a/592692/31260
[18:56] <smoker05> let me try.
[18:58] <nomoney4me> question: I noticed that my /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd is running at about 26% when my machine is at idle.  And there are 5 instances of them.  Taking up total of 50% of my CPU usage.  This doesn't sound right, is it?  Anyone got any idea what's going on?

[18:59] <birbl> Hey, whenever I try to boot from any live usb created with my phone / via unetbootin I get a "operating system not found"
[18:59] <birbl> is there something I do wrong?
[19:00] <glassHeart> you're using your phone as usb drive?
[19:01] <smoker05> k1l, after adding that 2 lines
[19:01] <smoker05> how can I save that
[19:01] <smoker05> from terminal
[19:01] <k1l> smoker05: ctrl+o. then ctrl+x for exit
[19:02] <birbl> glassHeart, Using the app "drivedroid" which normally works fine and it worked on my desktop pc, but not on my laptop. Afterwards I tried it with unetbootin and a normal usb stick
[19:02] <birbl> same result
[19:03] <smoker05> k1l, nothing happening with ctrl+x
[19:04] <k1l> smoker05: that is for nano
[19:04] <smoker05> so after hitting ctrl +o
[19:04] <smoker05> should i close the terminal ?
[19:05] <smoker05> because when I tried, it says, the process is still running/
[19:05] <glassHeart> birbl can you see the drive from the bios? if yes then you can usually boot it directly from bios
[19:06] <squinty> smoker05, ctrl+o writes the file you are editing to disk.  ctrl+x exits nano   no need to close the terminal
[19:07] <k1l> smoker05: no
[19:07] <birbl> glassHeart, yup I can. But when I select it from there it directly boots into windows again.
[19:07] <k1l> press "CTRL" key any "o" key at one time. it will ask to save that file.
[19:07] <k1l> smoker05: ^
[19:08] <k1l> smoker05: then press "ctrl" key plus "x" key at once. it will exit the editor
[19:08] <glassHeart> birbl that is weird. dunno why :(
[19:09] <smoker05> i did
[19:09] <smoker05> the
[19:09] <smoker05> ctrl + x bring me here : http://i.imgur.com/L4fwrJj.jpg
[19:09] <smoker05> after this when I try ctrl + o, nothing happening.
[19:09] <k1l> press enter then
[19:09] <smoker05> k1l, ^
[19:10] <birbl> glassHeart, argh. thanks anway :(
[19:10] <snowgoggles> birbl: issue with unetbootin usb stick?
[19:10] <birbl> snowgoggles, yup
[19:10] <k1l> smoker05: at the bottom: it asks you for more details. its a saving process like on windows word ord somehting. just in in the terminal
[19:10] <birbl> snowgoggles: just getting directly through to windows. doesn't boot to linux
[19:11] <smoker05> after pressing enter, it takes me back to terminal editing.
[19:11] <snowgoggles> birbl: redo the usb stick but create a new partition table as msdos then format it as fat32...rerun unetbootin install as usual
[19:11] <k1l> smoker05: then ctrl+x
[19:11] <birbl> snowgoggles: Will try, thanks!
[19:15] <NetworkingPro> yo everyone
[19:15] <NetworkingPro> Im running Mint and have Grub.  I have a Windows NTFS filesystem with my Windows 10 on it, but grub doesnt show it as a boot option.
[19:15] <NetworkingPro> Anyone have any good ideas on how to remedy that?
[19:15] <smoker05> k1l, omg, finally.
[19:15] <smoker05> wow.
[19:15] <smoker05> its working.
[19:16] <smoker05> no more error.
[19:16] <smoker05> Counter strike working too
[19:16] <smoker05> on steam
[19:16] <smoker05> What a night.
[19:16] <NetworkingPro> errr not mint, my bad... ubuntu
[19:16] <smoker05> Thanks a ton
[19:16] <smoker05> I also had to delete this command from that conf file "/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa"
[19:17] <smoker05> and just that 2 command.
[19:17] <smoker05> i have to bookmark so many things for future reference
[19:18] <birbl> snowgoggles: Getting the same error still. "Operating system not found" when I try to boot from it. Then it boots into windows.
[19:18] <birbl> Sometimes this happens and sometimes it just boots into windows without getting a error message
[19:20] <kgirthofer> hey all - why does one of my ubuntu servers need fqdn to resolve?
[19:20] <kgirthofer> everyone else can resolve with just hostname
[19:21] <kgirthofer> dns is on windows - a record in FLZ is delmine FLZ is fqdn, can only resolve to host.fqdn
[19:23] <kgirthofer> in case anyone is wondering you need to put a "Search domain.name"
[19:23] <kgirthofer> in /etc/resolv.conf
[19:24] <MonkeyDust> kgirthofer  there's also #ubuntu-server
[19:24] <snowgoggles> birbl:  perhaps something wrong with the iso image? have a secondary image to try?
[19:24] <snowgoggles> birbl:  what os are you using unetbootin on?
[19:25] <birbl> snowgoggles: kubuntu 15.10 …  trying to install the same version on my laptop also
[19:25] <birbl> But i'll try to run a live version of gparted on that laptop to test if the iso is damaged
[19:25] <snowgoggles> birbl: try using the startup disk creator tool instead of unetbootin
[19:26] <k1l> smoker05: have fun gaming :)
[19:26] <smoker05> ty man
[19:26] <smoker05> thanks for saving my ass :D
[19:27] <birbl> Will try!
[19:27] <m82labs> Is there a way to turn on the old "highlight to copy" behavior?
[19:28] <Anthony-L> does anyone know anything about the bumblebee drivers?
[19:28] <MonkeyDust> m82labs  where? in what program? what ubuntu version?
[19:29] <m82labs> MonkeyDust, I am on ubuntu 14.04, which program - all. You used to be able to highlit text anywhere, in any progrma, and it would copy to the clipboard, and then middle click to paste.
[19:29] <Guest22294> having issues with mouse freezing #ubuntu mate
[19:30] <m82labs> MonkeyDust, pardon my typos, I have a bandaid on one finger.
[19:30] <Kythewanderer> Anybody know where I can get a copy of windows? I like ubuntu, but need to get back to windows
[19:30] <MonkeyDust> m82labs  no help for crippled persons here
[19:31] <squinty> !list
[19:31] <MonkeyDust> m82labs  ok, just tried in irssi, works... since when can you no longer do it?
[19:31] <birbl> snowgoggles: "SYSLINUX 6.03 EDD 20150813 Copyright (c) 1994-2014 H. Peter Anviul et al Boot Error"
[19:31] <smoker05> k1l, omg, it feels like I am playing on windows now.
[19:31] <smoker05> With 290+FPS.
[19:32] <m82labs> MonkeyDust, hmmmm maybe it's only in the terminal app..... I thought it was everywhere but maybe not.
[19:32] <m82labs> I'll have to check later now.
[19:32] <Anthony-L> anyone know about the bumblebee?
[19:34] <MonkeyDust> m82labs  there are howto's, as per application e.g. https://www.maketecheasier.com/disable-middle-mouse-click-to-paste-feature-in-linux-quick-tips/
[19:34] <snowgoggles> birbl:  is this a boot attempt with what?
[19:35] <linux> hello
[19:35] <linux> how can i see my open ports on ubuntu?
[19:35] <m82labs> MonkeyDust, thanks, I'll take a look.
[19:35] <linux> how can i see my open ports on ubuntu?
[19:35] <popey> linux: use netstat
[19:36] <birbl> snowgoggles: yup. Copied the iso over via the usb creator and started from there. getting that error message then
[19:36] <m82labs> linux, 'netstat -a' is a good start.
[19:36] <Anthony-L> with a nvidia gtx 970, should i use propreitary drivers or nouveau?
[19:37] <linux> popey, how can i open port 22 ?
[19:37] <popey> Anthony-L: depends what you want to run on it.
[19:37] <BluesKaj> Anthony-L, the 352 driver stlll not working?
[19:37] <popey> linux: install something that runs on port 22? Like openssh-server?
[19:37] <Anthony-L> i'm having problems with restarting. once i get reboot, it takes at least 20+ times before i even get teh GUI back.
[19:37] <snowgoggles> birbl: if you have a spare usb stick try with that...if same error then re-download the iso
[19:37] <Anthony-L> it's hit or miss.
[19:37] <ubuntu-mate> hi
[19:37] <linux> popey, yes
[19:37] <ubuntu-mate> want install linux
[19:37] <popey> linux: we don't block that by default
[19:37] <ubuntu-mate> help plz
[19:38] <k1l> ubuntu-mate: run the installer, install it.
[19:38] <MonkeyDust> ubuntu-mate  what happens when you try
[19:38] <craptalk> ubuntu-mate: sure, we will guide you
[19:38] <ubuntu-mate> radeon bad works
[19:38] <craptalk> ubuntu-mate: graphic?
[19:38] <ubuntu-mate> yes
[19:38] <craptalk> ubuntu-mate: black screen?
[19:38] <birbl> snowgoggles: Gonna try it out on my desktop pc. Will report when I'm back online.
[19:38] <craptalk> ubuntu-mate: what distro did you try?
[19:38] <ubuntu-mate> no freezzzy
[19:38] <linux> popey, i need to open port 22 for my friend it is using rsync and he get error port 22: Connection refused
[19:39] <ubuntu-mate> mate 15
[19:39] <popey> linux: that's probably something you need to do on your router
[19:39] <linux> popey, port 22 is open in my router
[19:39] <craptalk> ubuntu-mate: no freezy?
[19:40] <popey> linux: did you install openssh-server?
[19:40] <linux> popey, no
[19:40] <ubuntu-mate> some problem with graphics she is work bad
[19:40] <popey> linux: you might need that then :)
[19:40] <MonkeyDust> linux  22 is for ssh, rsync goes over 873
[19:40] <ubuntu-mate> lag and some time stop
[19:40] <popey> rsync can go over ssh too :)
[19:40] <BluesKaj> !ua | ubuntu-mate
[19:41] <ubuntu-mate> yes UA
[19:41] <birbl> snowgoggles: yeah. The USB stick works when I boot it on my main desktop
[19:41] <MonkeyDust> linux  in a terminal, type cat /etc/services |grep rsync
[19:42] <linux> rsync		873/tcp
[19:42] <linux> rsync		873/udp
[19:42] <snowgoggles> birbl: laptop is the issue? live iso doesn't care about a hard drive
[19:42] <linux> MonkeyDust, you mean i need to open 873?
[19:42] <birbl> snowgoggles: Ahh. It won't work when I boot it via "legacy" but it works when I boot it via "uefi"
[19:42] <popey> linux: no, because the error from your friend clearly says port 22
[19:43] <birbl> Getting the same error on my main desktop PC when I boot it via the normal mode and not uefi
[19:43] <snowgoggles> birbl:  there ya go
[19:44] <birbl> snowgoggles: this means that the ISO is faulty?
[19:44] <snowgoggles> birbl: gotta love uefi bios
[19:44] <linux> popey, i solved that after openssh-server installed
[19:44] <popey> supe
[19:44] <popey> *super
[19:44] <snowgoggles> no it's efi bootable only
[19:45] <linux> popey, my friend get new error rsync: mkstemp "/var/www/html/.all commands in used.txt.Vs1acA" failed: Permission denied (13)
[19:45] <BluesKaj> !ukraine
[19:45] <birbl> Ohhh :) Can I change that somehow?
[19:45] <popey> linux: sounds like a permissions issue.
[19:46] <snowgoggles> change your laptop bios default to efi and not legacy boot
[19:47] <linux> popey, mu friends name is mohsen i created a user with adduser mohsen and then groupadd webcontent and then chgr webcontent /var/www/html and then usermod webcontent mohsen
[19:48] <thumpba> looks like i found the culprit https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/procps/+bug/50093
[19:48] <linux> popey, what is problem in your opinion ?
[19:48] <birbl> snowgoggles: kinda a noob here. "uefi hybrid (with csm)" or "uefi native (without csm)" ... note windows runs without it since its deactivated and I need windows for work
[19:48] <popey> linux: permissions on that folder
[19:48] <thumpba> seems to be a lingering issue with sysctl.conf being ignored and procps running before it at boot
[19:50] <linux> popey, how can i see permissions on a specific folder ls -l /var/www/html ?
[19:50] <linux> popey, i mean who is owner of this file?
[19:51] <popey> linux: ls -l should work, yes.
[19:52] <popey> or ls -ld /var/www/html
[19:52] <linux> popey, i see drwxr-xr-x 2 root webcontent 4096 Mar  7 10:11 /var/www/html
[19:53] <popey> linux: webcontent has no write permission
[19:53] <popey> linux: see the middle w is a -
[19:53] <linux> popey, how can assign it ?
[19:53] <popey> linux: sudo chmod 775 /var/www/html/
[19:54] <linux> popey, it is done thanks
[19:54] <popey> np
[19:56] <MonkeyDust> linux  works?
[19:56] <kulyzu> i don't know how to remove this file
[19:56] <kulyzu> this is the stat
[19:56] <kulyzu> https://gist.github.com/anonymous/ddfa6825c3dace1df0af
[19:56] <linux> popey, about ssh my friend says that he see this message Welcome to Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.2.0-30-generic x86_64) but the connection close soon
[19:56] <kulyzu> please help me
[19:56] <linux> MonkeyDust, yes
[19:56] <kristian_> Hi all
[19:56] <Anthony-L> i've been troubleshooting my gpu driver problem (nvidia gta 970) i've come to the conclusion the the nouveau drivers the most stable.
[19:56] <linux> popey, what is problem ?
[19:57] <Anthony-L> i can't seem to get my resolution from th e nouveau drivers though.
[19:57] <popey> linux: I don't know, what command is he doing?
[19:57] <popey> kulyzu: is that a hacke wordpress box?
[19:57] <popey> *hacked
[19:58] <linux> popey, ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>-p 22
[19:58] <popey> linux: should work - dodgy connection?
[19:58] <kulyzu> yes
[19:59] <popey> kulyzu: I'd wipe it and start again.
[19:59] <linux> popey, he says that connection close after welcoming message
[19:59] <popey> linux: I don't know why it would do that.
[19:59] <snowgoggles> birbl: i'm not sure to be honest .. you may have to look it up to see what the approriate BIOS setting for your laptop  would be for your windws OS and dual booting with linux....installing dual boot would make grub2 as the bootloader
[20:00] <lyze> snowgoggles: (switched accounts since I've found the password again for this one ;) ) Ah thanks, I will. Thank you for your help!
[20:00] <Anthony-L> i can't get my resolution with the nouveau drivers. if i use the proprietary drivers, i crash on reboot.
[20:01] <axk4545> is there a way to make the super key toggle the application finder in xfce?
[20:06] <Anthony-L> what's the command for updating?
[20:06] <rexwin__> I installed v sftpd using this https://anotherguru.me/how-to-install-vsftpd-on-ubuntu-14-04-on-digitalocean-droplet/ but when i try to login in it is asking for username and password
[20:07] <lyze> axk4545: Erm ... yeah there is I guess. Can't try though. You need to find out what the command to open it is (starts with "xfce4") and then set a shortcut for it
[20:07] <rexwin__> but i use the username and password it doesnot accept it
[20:08] <lyze> axk4545: http://www.clausconrad.com/blog/using-the-windows-key-to-open-xfce-application-menu
[20:08] <axk4545> lyze: How do I get it to close with the same key? I am going for a chromeos launcher like thing.
[20:08] <Anthony-L> ls
[20:08] <Anthony-L> how do i list the people in here?
[20:09] <MonkeyDust> Anthony-L  /names
[20:09] <lyze> axk4545: dunno … use "esc" as alternative close thing … since that works without configuration ...
[20:09] <Anthony-L> monkey: i need help with drivers.
[20:10] <MonkeyDust> Anthony-L  address the channel
[20:10] <Anthony-L> when i type 'lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 vga' it says i'm using 3 drivers.
[20:10] <axk4545> lyze: ok.
[20:10] <popey> Anthony-L: that just lists the devices
[20:10] <popey> Anthony-L: not the driver in use
[20:10] <rexwin__> I installed vsftpd using this https://anotherguru.me/how-to-install-vsftpd-on-ubuntu-14-04-on-digitalocean-droplet/ but when i try to login in it is asking for username and password. but when i use the username and password it doesnot accept it
[20:10] <Anthony-L> oh okay, how would i get the proper resolution out of the nouveau driver?
[20:11] <Anthony-L> it only offers two resolutions.
[20:11] <Anthony-L> i tried the proprietary and they aren't stable.
[20:11] <popey> Anthony-L: what do you plan to do with this machine? basic desktop or gaming?
[20:11] <Anthony-L> hybrid
[20:11] <popey> oh
[20:11] <popey> unlucky
[20:12] <Anthony-L> yea, gaming and linux aren't friends...
[20:12] <popey> works fine here :)
[20:12] <Anthony-L> er, my gpu and linux aren't friends.
[20:12] <popey> sorry, when you say "hyrbid" do you mean, a bit of both?
[20:12] <Anthony-L> yes
[20:12] <popey> or do you mean your computer has hybrid graphics?
[20:12] <Anthony-L> no, i do a little gaming.
[20:12] <popey> what version of ubuntu you running?
[20:12] <Anthony-L> 15.10
[20:12] <popey> and what driver did you install, and how?
[20:13] <Hadron2> Howdy, all.
[20:13] <Anthony-L> at first, i used the proprietary and it was not stable. i couldn't even get to the GUI after like 20 reboots, it finally worked.
[20:13] <Hadron2> Has anyone installed 16.04 Server Beta yet for testing?
[20:13] <Anthony-L> then i switched to nouveau and it seems more stable.
[20:13] <nacc> Hadron2: ask in #ubuntu+1, iirc
[20:14] <Hadron2> Thanks.
[20:14] <Anthony-L> however, i can't get the resolution out of nouveau drivers.
[20:14] <popey> Anthony-L: how did you install the proprietary driver?
[20:14] <Mengele> Hadron2, I am on 16.10 I believe
[20:14] <Anthony-L> through the CLI, someone told me the commands.
[20:14] <popey> ah
[20:14] <popey> ok
[20:15] <Anthony-L> in a nutshell, i'm really terrified of rebooting my system. haha
[20:15] <popey> you mentioned bumblebee earlier
[20:15] <Anthony-L> yes
[20:15] <popey> is this a laptop or desktop?
[20:15] <Anthony-L> i heard from the grape vine taht bumblebee was the answer.
[20:15] <Anthony-L> desktop
[20:15] <popey> bumblebee is the answer if you have a terrible laptop with hybrid graphics
[20:15] <popey> not if you have a desktop with dedicated nvidia graphics card
[20:16] <Anthony-L> it's not integrated into the motherboard. it's a third party.
[20:16] <popey> yes, exactly
[20:16] <Anthony-L> yes
[20:16] <popey> I would install the nvidia binary driver
[20:16] <popey> did you download it from nvidia.com?
[20:16] <popey> or use apt-get?
[20:16] <Anthony-L> popey, should i uninstall and do a fresh install? or will they overwrite?
[20:17] <popey> I would personally "sudo apt-install nvidia-current" "sudo apt remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau" and then reboot :)
[20:17] <popey> ooh typo
[20:17] <popey> I would personally "sudo apt install nvidia-current" "sudo apt remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau" and then reboot :)
[20:18] <Anthony-L> popey, so install first, then remove xserver?
[20:18] <popey> no, the second command removes the nouveau driver
[20:18] <Mengele> I wish removing sudo wasnt such a pain in the ass.
[20:18] <Anthony-L> oh ok
[20:18] <popey> the first installs the nvidia proprietary driver
[20:18] <Anthony-L> let me try...
[20:18] <popey> good luck :)
[20:20] <Mengele> Last time I tried to remove sudo from ubuntu all sorts of stuff broke. I personally think everybody is better off just slapping themselves in the face instead of pushing enter as a double check when running root commands. It s the same thing as sudo, and less to type.
[20:20] <inascime> Is bash not in the base package set?
[20:21] <popey> Mengele: do you have a support question or are you just here to moan?
[20:21] <meskes> What's wrong with sudo? Properly configured, it's absolutely safe.
[20:21] <Mengele> popey, Just talking. Nobody is seeking support right now
[20:22] <nacc> Mengele: that's not the point of this channel
[20:22] <nacc> Mengele: please use #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:22] <Mengele> nacc, I did have a question about repo and ubuntu. Seems LOTS of repositories are being missed with sync and have only had this issue while on this distro.
[20:23] <nacc> Mengele: that sounds like FUD. what do you mean by "LOTS" and "missed with sync"?
[20:24] <aarrgg> I'm trying to find out who connects to my ssh server... is there a file/software that logs these connections?
[20:24] <popey> aarrgg: /var/log/auth.log
[20:24] <aarrgg> Using the server edition
[20:24] <Mengele> nacc, FUD? and with repo sync I have a manifest of about 50 repositories and I would say close to 20 of those get missed. Not the same ones either, sometimes more, sometimes less.
[20:24] <aarrgg> kk
[20:24] <rexwin__> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) when trying to install vsftpd
[20:24] <Mengele> nacc, Messed up domain?
[20:25] <nikoskeyz> hello. i am student at an IT university. i am between choosing ubuntu or debian as my main distro, so later i wanted to be a contributor of my choice. for my choice, i want to know if i could get some money from contributing on ubuntu and how. thank you very much
[20:26] <nicomachus> no you cannot earn money contributing to Ubuntu.
[20:26] <nikoskeyz> @nicomachus thank you
[20:27] <nacc> Mengele: i don't know what `repo` is and I don't know what repositories you're referring to -- if you are mirroring multiple, they can be out of sync with each other (as the changes propogate). I think that's especially true if you're trying to mirror the development release
[20:28] <Mengele> nacc, All it is is syncing git repositories.
[20:29] <nacc> Mengele: ok ... i don't know what it is, but ubuntu and debian have the same version; do you see the problem on debian?
[20:29] <Mengele> Never tried Debian
[20:31] <aarrgg> How do I There are some IPs in the log I don't recognize. Some signed in 7 minutes ago... but I wasn't connected at that time.
[20:31] <nacc> Mengele: "only had this issue while on this distro" ... what did you try?
[20:32] <Mengele> nacc, Arch, Gentoo, Funtoo and now Ubuntu.
[20:37] <MonkeyDust> aarrgg  in a terminal, try    whois [ip address]
[20:38] <nacc> Mengele: hrm, you'd have to check versions, etc. I guess -- are they all the same version of repo?
[20:38] <nacc> Mengele: or file a bug, if you want
[20:38] <Mengele> nacc, I dont even know where to begin to do that or if its even worth it at this point.
[20:39] <mcnuggets> does beating my dick like it owes me money burn many calories ? if so why am I not loosing weight?  I will have to upgrade to GCC 6.0 I just realized and I have a feeling Ubuntu isnt going to like that much.
[20:41] <nacc> Mengele: gcc 6.0 isn't out yet ... they are at stage4 right now (iirc)
[20:42] <sdsd23> hi
[20:42] <aarrgg> MonkeyDust: kk
[20:42] <sdsd23> newbie here
[20:42] <nacc> Mengele: not sure why you'd *have* to update to a version of software that doesn't exist :)
[20:42] <sdsd23> after i started a server in console
[20:42] <sdsd23> i cannot send command
[20:42] <lyze> sdsd23: because the server runs in the foreground.
[20:42] <Mengele> nacc, Its still in alpha. And in order to compile android with the GCC 6.0 tweaks I kind of need a system running it =). Its actually pretty stable at this point.
[20:43] <sdsd23> thank
[20:43] <nacc> Mengele: use a vm or container, so you don't fubar your system?
[20:43] <sdsd23> there a system to send comand?
[20:43] <lyze> sdsd23: you can start a server with "screen" or "tmux" (look up a tutorial) so you can access the default console while a program runs :)
[20:44] <Mengele> nacc, Compiling in a vm takes like 8 hours. I ran Gentoo on GCC6 since - November? I want to say. I jsut got lazy and one of my hard drives in my raid 0 on reiser4 decided to break so I came to ubuntu to give it a shot.
[20:44] <nacc> Mengele: you can always try running repo from the source tree and see if th eissue goes away, btw
[20:44] <Mengele> nacc, I am / did.
[20:44] <nacc> Mengele: and it does?
[20:45] <Mengele> nacc, Same issues.
[20:45] <nacc> Mengele: then report the bug upstream?
[20:46] <Mengele> nacc, I might if I get around to it.
[20:46] <Mengele> nacc, Might => Will
[20:47] <Mengele> Oh wow. There is a PPA for GCC 6.0 on Ubuntu
[20:47] <daftykins> that could be a bad move
[20:47]  * nacc wouldn't do it on a box i cared about
[20:47] <Mengele> daftykins, Could.
[20:47] <sdsd23> can isend command with a server in foreground mode???
[20:47] <Mengele> But whats the fun in that? (and I know we are getting off topic so I will stop)
[20:48] <Mengele> sdsd23, What?
[20:48] <daftykins> Mengele: good move.
[20:48] <Mengele> daftykins, I thought so.
[20:49] <sdsd23> i started a server in console
[20:49] <sdsd23> now console dont accept command
[20:49] <sdsd23> only black
[20:49] <Mengele> Did your server crash/
[20:49] <Mengele> ?
[20:49] <daftykins> sdsd23: two things - first, more detail - and second, on _one_ line :)
[20:50] <sdsd23> usr/sbin/vsftpd
[20:50] <aarrgg> MonkeyDust: Okay... found an IP address from Russia... and I'm in the US.
[20:50] <sdsd23> after console dont want command
[20:51] <aarrgg> Holy shit.
[20:51] <aarrgg> Crap* Sorry for the language
[20:51] <sdsd23> ok is not running the daemon
[20:53] <lyze> sdsd23: stop the service with pressing "ctrl + c"  … then you should be able to execute commands again. I guess vsftpd is a service so you can simply run "service vsftpd start"
[20:54] <sdsd23> -sh: service: command not found
[20:54] <sdsd23> im on puppy linux
[20:54] <aarrgg> Is there a way to get rid of my root password? I thought I was changing my user password and instead I gave the root account a password which means it can now be signed into.
[20:55] <aarrgg> ...which probably isn't secure.
[20:55] <aarrgg> :|
[20:55] <lyze> sdsd23: Eh … would recommend asking in the irc channel for puppy linux. I just guess here: "sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd start"
[20:55] <sdsd23> vsft
[20:55] <nikeee_> hi
[20:56] <nikeee_> I have a process that keep coming back with a different PID immediatly after I kill it
[20:57] <sdsd23> no such file
[20:57] <lyze> sdsd23: "ls -la /etc/init.d/ | grep ftp" … put that into pastebin and send the link to here
[20:58] <sdsd23> #
[20:58] <sdsd23> blank...
[20:58] <sdsd23> no answer from console
[20:58] <lyze> Does the command "systemctl" work?
[20:59] <sdsd23> -sh: systemctl: command not found
[20:59] <lyze> Then …  I'm sorry … I can't helkp you there … best guess would be the puppy linux irc chat ;)
[21:00] <nikeee_> lyze: hi
[21:00] <lyze> nikeee_: hey
[21:00] <nikeee_> lyze: I have a process that keep coming back with a different PID immediatly after I kill it
[21:00] <lyze> Erm … does it has a name?
[21:01] <MonkeyDust> nikeee_  what process?
[21:01] <nikeee_> transmission-daemon. Either with kill or the script in init.d, I cant stop it
[21:01] <The_Fisting_for_> oi
[21:02] <vimes> I have a counter strike server on an ubuntu server, running on a user account named csgo, how do I give other users access to edit the files of the csgo server?
[21:02] <MonkeyDust> nikeee_  try kill -9
[21:02] <nikeee_> MonkeyDust: yes, same behavior
[21:02] <vimes> whilst still keeping the csgo user "in charge" (or with the rights to change it)
[21:02] <lyze> Is the gui still open?
[21:03] <lyze> vimes: add them to a group and set the group of the files to that one
[21:03] <vimes> but there is no group lyze , I folowed this guide http://gameservermanagers.com/lgsm/csgoserver/
[21:03] <vimes> just a user, no greap
[21:03] <MonkeyDust> nikeee_  sudo service --status-all|grep trans   does it show in red?
[21:04] <lyze> vimes: yeah I know. do a "ls -la" on the files please and send me the output (paste.ubuntu.com)
[21:04] <linux> how can i assign just read and write to a user and dont allow to use wget?
[21:04] <vimes> lyze: http://pastebin.com/3jWRJjMP
[21:05] <nikeee_> MonkeyDust:  [ + ]  transmission-daemon
[21:05] <nikeee_> MonkeyDust: not in red
[21:05] <MonkeyDust> nikeee_  try  sudo service transmission-daemon stop
[21:06] <lyze> vimes: There's a group called "csgoserver" add all users to that group
[21:06] <Nukien> I did a test debootstrap a while ago into /stuff/BOOTSTRAP - Now the host system udevd has a bunch of open files in there
[21:07] <nikeee_> MonkeyDust: great, it worked, thanks. Do you know what does the service function does in addition to executing the scipt in init.D ?
[21:07] <Nukien> How can I tell udevd to ignore /stuff/BOOTSTRAP and let them go so I can remove it ?
[21:07] <Mathisen> okej i need help.. i just did a reboot on my @ server running ubuntu 15.10 now i cant start virtualbox anymore... i realy need it ... " http://paste.ubuntu.com/15330362/ " what is going on ?
[21:07] <Mathisen> i also did an apt update / upgrade before
[21:07] <linux> how can i assign just read and write to a user and dont allow to use wget?
[21:07] <MonkeyDust> nikeee_  no, don't know
[21:07] <lyze> Mathisen:  "Please use 'dmesg' to find out why" … do that
[21:07] <Techspectre> How can you view a folder as another user?
[21:08] <vimes> thanks lyze
[21:08] <vimes> but it didn't work
[21:08] <lyze> Techspectre: sudo -u <user> ls <folder>
[21:08] <GeorgesLeYeti> Hi
[21:08] <nikeee_> MonkeyDust: ok thanks, bye
[21:08] <vimes> I'll copy paste, hodle up
[21:08] <lyze> vimes: what didn't work? Adding users to the group?
[21:08] <GeorgesLeYeti> I need some help. I try to install ffmpeg
[21:08] <lyze> GeorgesLeYeti: which version of ubuntu, what happens?
[21:09] <vimes> lyze http://pastebin.com/TL00Cz5s
[21:09] <GeorgesLeYeti> 1st I just try to install it by building package but then I install it with trusty-media ppa.
[21:09] <GeorgesLeYeti> Ubuntu 14.10
[21:10] <lyze> vimes: "sudo: unable to resolve host hioa-gaming" … why's that there? Qvo
[21:10] <Nukien> Anyone on udev question ?
[21:10] <lyze> GeorgesLeYeti: and then?
[21:10] <nacc> GeorgesLeYeti: 14.10 is not supported anymore, and is insecure, please use either LTS or latest release.
[21:10] <GeorgesLeYeti> My problem is that now when i make ffprobe I have : -bash: /home/authotprod/bin/ffprobe: No such file or directory
[21:10] <vimes> lyze it's to do with openstack settings, it's not a problem. Been there all the time.
[21:11] <nacc> GeorgesLeYeti: also, you wouldn't use a trusty ppa with 14.10, normally
[21:11] <lyze> vimes: ah … could you execute the "groups" command as the user you want to run the server as?
[21:12] <Techspectre> lyze, thanks, but that doesn't seem to work.,. It tells me the user doesn't exist. What I'm trying to do is view files on a drive taken out of another machine. I know the username and password
[21:12] <Mathisen> lyze, to be honest i dont know what to look for there... any help pls.. dmesg | grep vbox .. gives nothing
[21:12] <lyze> Mathisen: Maybe for an error? … Don't know … never used the dmesg command before.
[21:12] <urthmover> If I install 16.04...as long as I apt -y [update,upgrade] regularly...will there be anything that I need to do upon official release?
[21:13] <GeorgesLeYeti> Ok but my real problem is that my 1st install of ffmpeg seems to save the path for alias ffmpeg and ffprobe to my ~/bin/ while it's now install into /usr/bin/
[21:13] <vimes> logged inn and out lyze, now he's inn the group. but still get one permissions denied
[21:13] <vimes> http://pastebin.com/BeavL3ja
[21:13] <lyze> Techspectre: Are you ssh'd into the box or how do you access the drive?
[21:13] <GeorgesLeYeti> Is there anyway to remove theses alias ?
[21:13] <Techspectre> lyze, the drive is directly connected to my current machine.
[21:14] <tinyalpha> anyone gay from new mexico
[21:14] <daftykins> !ops
[21:14] <bprompt> lol
[21:14] <urthmover> :D funny
[21:15] <ikonia> what's up ?
[21:15] <ikonia> ahh
[21:15] <lyze> Techspectre: Huch? Ohh I get it. So you basically have user abc@home and user xyz@oldDrive … now you moved the drive from "oldDrive" to "home" and want to access the files from the home computer?
[21:15] <genii> tinyalpha: This channel is for Ubuntu support
[21:15] <genii> ..too slow...
[21:16] <Techspectre> lyze, I moved the drive from the old computer to the new computer. I'd like to get files off of it.
[21:16] <lyze> Techspectre: Then you don't need to login with the old credentials since they don't exist on the new one.
[21:17] <Techspectre> lyze, it doesn't let me view the contents of the home folder on the old drive
[21:17] <lyze> Techspectre: Try as root
[21:17] <btami> hi all
[21:18] <btami> can anyone run foxpro in dosemu on 16.04 ?
[21:18] <btami> when I tri to start it it closes
[21:18] <Techspectre> lyze, tried that. It lets me into the folder but it shows as empty.
[21:18] <btami> try
[21:18] <lyze> Techspectre: is the drive damaged?
[21:19] <bprompt> Techspectre:  or was it encrypted?
[21:19] <Techspectre> lyze, it isn't damaged, I just stopped using it because it's only 80gb
[21:19] <Techspectre> bprompt, I may have selected home folder encryption on install of Ubuntu
[21:19] <lyze> Techspectre: is it a linux box?
[21:19] <lyze> Or was it
[21:20] <lyze> Ah well … then I#m out
[21:20] <Techspectre> Yes it was, I'm guessing, Ubuntu 13.04
[21:20] <lyze> Techspectre: can't you chroot into it?
[21:20] <Techspectre> Maybe but I'm not sure how to do that. Could you explain?
[21:20] <daftykins> why would you need to chroot if you just want data? that's not relevant
[21:21] <bprompt> Techspectre:    haven't done folder encryption myself, so.. dunno, if the folder is encrypted, that may explain the lack of access
[21:21] <lyze> daftykins: maybe because of encryption or so … maybe that'd help … don't know really … never done encryption before
[21:21] <daftykins> lyze: no it won't
[21:22] <daftykins> and yeah, nor me - but i can tell you that way is not it :)
[21:22] <lyze> Ok o7
[21:22] <daftykins> !encryption
[21:22] <daftykins> nice recent factoid there
[21:22] <Techspectre> Can't I somehow access it as the old user?
[21:23] <kvaidyan> net
[21:23] <daftykins> yes if you have your old encryption key / passphrase
[21:23] <daftykins> have you dumped the old ocmputer already?
[21:24] <daftykins> computer too, touchpads and cats don't mix
[21:24] <Techspectre> daftykins, well I'm not sure what the encryption key would have been. If the home folder is encrypted, it's because I selected that option on Ubuntu install. But I definitely know my password. I've used the same password for years
[21:25] <daftykins> so, still got the original computer?
[21:25] <daftykins> Techspectre: ^
[21:25] <Techspectre> daftykins, well, yes, actually it's the same computer but it's had hardware upgrades since then and obviously a fresh OS install
[21:26] <daftykins> right but that original drive is as it was presumably? what hardware has changed?
[21:26] <Techspectre> The drive is unchanged. When I upgraded I removed the drive and put in a new one.
[21:26] <daftykins> yep caught that - so upgrades?
[21:27] <daftykins> i really think you should just pull all drives, put the old one back in and boot up - then take the data off my copying it to an unencrypted medium
[21:27] <Techspectre> Interesting, now you've got me wondering why that matters. Okay, so since then, I've upgraded the mobo and ram
[21:27] <Techspectre> plus the drive
[21:28] <daftykins> well Linux won't care, so just boot it up directly and get the data off
[21:28] <Techspectre> daftykins, that's a very good idea except the bootloader is (was) on a separate drive
[21:28] <Techspectre> I use HDD for home directory and SSD for the OS
[21:28] <daftykins> you might be able to run update-grub now and chainload it from your new install
[21:29] <Techspectre> hmmm
[21:29] <Techspectre> well that can't hurt, right?
[21:30] <daftykins> shouldn't do... might be best to run it by someone that knows encryption though...
[21:30] <daftykins> hey EriC^^ you played with encryption? :)
[21:30] <Techspectre> Interesting. Update grub returned "found Linux Mint Maya" maybe that'll do it
[21:30] <daftykins> ugh so it's not even ubuntu :P
[21:30] <lyze> Oh hey, I#ve stumbled on a problem now. Basically I'm trying to install kubuntu to a external hard drive. So that I can simply select the drive as a boot medium and it'll boot kubuntu. If nothing is selected then it should boot windows. Now that part works fine … however after I#ve installed it onto the external HD it can't boot from it … gets stuck into a hp logo - blackscreen loop
[21:30] <Techspectre> Eh, well apples to apples
[21:30] <daftykins> yep that'll add boot entries then you can pick it on startup, Techspectre
[21:31] <daftykins> Techspectre: no it's important, is your new OS install Mint as well?
[21:31] <Techspectre> used to use Mint, not sure why it's so popular. I always use Ubuntu now
[21:31] <SCHAAP137> upgrading 15.10 to 16.04 beta now
[21:32] <bekks> lyze: In case secure boot is enabled in the bios, you have to disable that.
[21:32] <daftykins> SCHAAP137: that's both irrelevant to us and the wrong channel - feel free to talk about it in #ubuntu+1
[21:32] <lyze> bekks: installed kubuntu on the external hdd from a live cd booted from that system.
[21:32] <Techspectre> daftykins, why is it important? Is there something I should know before I reboot and try to boot into that partition?
[21:32] <SCHAAP137> okay
[21:33] <bekks> lyze: In case secure boot is enabled in the bios, you have to disable that.
[21:33] <lyze> bekks: yup it is
[21:33] <lyze> disabled
[21:33] <daftykins> Techspectre: no, just don't ever mislead us as to what you're running
[21:33] <daftykins> i drop Mint users like a stone.
[21:33] <Techspectre> daftykins, haha no I'd never do that. I'm here all the time
[21:33] <daftykins> i'd noticed
[21:34] <Techspectre> I trust that's a good thing!
[21:34] <bprompt> well, gem stones are harder to drop than sulfuric ones  =)
[21:34] <lyze> bekks: Just to give a bit of background. Apparently that iso I#ve burnt is uefi only (booting rom legacy gives me a "no operating system found" error). On that system is a windows 7 installation with legacy mode. I've needed to change it from legacy to uefi hybrid mode.
[21:34] <daftykins> depends if a lot of it was you using Mint from that old install but getting help her e;)
[21:34] <daftykins> Techspectre: anyway try booting it
[21:34] <Techspectre> brb
[21:34] <lyze> bekks: The installer asked me if I want to use uefi or not … I clicked "No" … could it be that this will create a damaged version?
[21:35] <bekks> lyze: No. But your Ubuntu will not be bootable if UEFI is enabled.
[21:36] <lyze> bekks: disabled uefi, plugged the hard drive in, switched to "boot from external hard drive", laptop shows hp logo then blackscreen 4 times and shuts off
[21:41] <Techspectre> That was um. Less than successful lmao
[21:41] <daftykins> ho-hum
[21:42] <Techspectre> I booted into it but there actually wasn't anything there
[21:42] <Techspectre> It's just a completely fresh install
[21:42] <daftykins> black screen, cursor top left?
[21:42] <Techspectre> No it runs fine but it's like it was never used
[21:42] <daftykins> oh i see
[21:42] <Techspectre> Very weird
[21:42] <daftykins> so that 80GB old disk was definitely always your entire OS? home and all?
[21:43] <Techspectre> "always" is kinda subjective
[21:43] <daftykins> or did you still use a second even then?
[21:43] <ner0x> I did some searching around and couldn't find a good place to determine if a print/scanner/copy machine is compatible with the newest version of Ubuntu. Anyone know of a place?
[21:44] <daftykins> boot a live session and check what's listed on the CUPS page i'd say
[21:44] <Techspectre> I guess I don't really remember. LM Maya was 2013 so...
[21:44] <daftykins> Techspectre: well, was it the only hard disk your system had back then or no?
[21:45] <Techspectre> ... ooooh.
[21:45] <Techspectre> daftykins, now I know why. It's all coming back to me now.
[21:46] <daftykins> sign me up for the executive summary
[21:46] <Techspectre> What I was trying to recover was a savegame file that I remember was stored on this drive. I don't remember whether or not it was the only drive in the system. I think even then I had a 500gb and an SSD. Which led me to wonder why there was a full install of LM on the disk
[21:47] <Techspectre> But now I remember that while I was using this drive to store certain things, I took it out at some point to replace a bad drive from my girlfriend's machine. So the fresh install is probably from then
[21:48] <linux> i cant play videos mp4 in my fresh ubuntu what should i do?
[21:48] <NoCode> weird. In Cinnamon, I hover over the panel where the window tabs are and the pointer will grab the tab and move it. :| I wonder if this is just my mouse misbehaving again or what. :|
[21:48] <daftykins> Techspectre: ah so what you want back is totally gone?
[21:48] <Techspectre> Of course now I'm wondering why the drive isn't still in her machine... that I don't remember
[21:48] <daftykins> linux: install ubuntu-restricted-extras and/or VLC
[21:49] <Techspectre> daftykins, probably... I guess. I mean, I think.
[21:50] <Techspectre> I mean, I logged in and there was literally nothing there. So that's it.
[21:50] <daftykins> i have to admit, i find it hard to understand how one can lose track of their own drives and data
[21:50] <daftykins> well no you should at least poke around at the filesystem level before being sure on that
[21:51] <Techspectre> to be honest me too lol, I don't remember exactly why I was using this. With me it's not totally surprising, since I take apart my machines all the time
[21:51] <daftykins> ah well, at least you don't have to wrestle with the decryption dragon
[21:51] <Techspectre> I wonder if I should run ddrescue on it
[21:52] <Techspectre> see what it finds
[21:52] <pam> How can I do a batch conversion of .avi to .mp4?
[21:52] <pam> without using handbrake
[21:52] <daftykins> no that's a totally unjustifiable use of that program, Techspectre - just have a look in the /home on it for other users first
[21:53] <daftykins> pam: those are both video container formats, that speaks nothing of what you want codec wise for audio or video
[21:53] <lyze> pam: ffmpeg -i <file>.avi <file>.mp4 ?
[21:53] <Techspectre> daftykins, there was only the one user. So I'll just call it quits then. It's really no big deal, I was just looking for a dolphin emulator save file lol
[21:53] <lyze> pam: then a for loop over each file … simple google should help you how to do that and you are done
[21:53] <daftykins> i think ffmpeg on ubuntu became avconv or some such
[21:53] <daftykins> Techspectre: oh serious business then ;)
[21:53] <lyze> daftykins: it's again here in 15.10
[21:53] <Techspectre> Oh yes!
[21:54] <daftykins> bbl
[21:54] <Techspectre> thanks daftykins
[21:54] <daftykins> np :)
[21:56] <pam> thanks all..trying winff
[21:58] <dillon> hey guys I am looking for a powerful video conversion software.  What I am looking to do is convert any file format to a avi file with maybe increase the quality to. What do you guys recommend?
[21:59] <lyze> dillon: gui or cli?
[21:59] <bekks> dillon: ffmpeg ?
[21:59] <dillon> gui, I don't understand cli
[21:59] <dillon> what is ffmpeg?
[22:00] <lyze> A powerful commandline tool X)
[22:00] <Pici> dillon: handbrake is powerful, and somewhat easy to use.  Its mostly used for ripping dvds, but I believe it can just do video file conversion.   Also, you can't create quality from nowhere.
[22:01] <dillon> lyze no it has to be gui like I said earlier.  Pici would I be able to take a 720p to 1080p?
[22:02] <bekks> dillon: You can only upscale 720p to 1080p - at the same quiality as 720p.
[22:02] <Pici> dillon: yes, but you aren't going to create quality. It will look like an upscaled 720p  video
[22:03] <dillon> ok, I wasn't sure I want it to look good
[22:03] <bekks> dillon: Then dont try to upscale. :)
[22:03] <al2o3-cr> dillon: winff
[22:03] <dillon> bekks, thanks
[22:04] <daftykins> dillon: there's a lot wrong with that question, you can't increase quality through conversion - it only goes down
[22:04] <bprompt> dillon:     the output, will be as good or worse than the source, so if the source isn't great, not much to work with for the encoder, otherwise, Handbrake works well, comes with a few mobile presets too =)
[22:04] <bprompt> s/the output/if &/
[22:04] <hipaysha> can anyone please answer my off topic question?
[22:04] <bprompt> hipaysha:    wouldn't that make us offtopic?
[22:05] <hipaysha> not to me
[22:05] <Pici> hipaysha: there is #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:05] <hipaysha> ok
[22:07] <hipaysha> may I please know from you all the topic name in here?
[22:07] <al2o3-cr> /topic
[22:08] <hipaysha> so the topic is: > Official Ubuntu Support?
[22:08] <lyze> Yup
[22:09] <sdsd23> tnx
[22:09] <Bingo> If you are using secure boot I think you will need to launch this file since it's signed:
[22:09] <Bingo> ....  /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/shimx64.efi
[22:09] <Bingo> << needs windows to launch that file
[22:10] <bprompt> hipaysha:   more UNofficial support, I doubt many folks here work at canonical, but, yes, that's the topic
[22:11] <hipaysha> can someone please tell me why when I uninstall bluez/bluetooth I loose system settings on my desktop?
[22:12] <Marcos_> buenas tardes alguien por aquí que hable español?
[22:12] <Raku> I fixed my issue with notify-send over ssh, there was a file in ~/.dbus/session-bus/ was owner by root and making things freak out in case anyone wants to know for future reference
[22:12] <Mikelevel> Marcos_~ #ubuntu-es
[22:13] <hipaysha> and my clamtk drop down menu does not show at all even when I uninstall and reinstall everything
[22:14] <al8989> hello i am trying to install libtool but it's asking me to insert my kubntu cd any reason why it's not installing it from online
[22:14] <daftykins> al8989: open your software and sources manager and disable the CD
[22:15] <daftykins> or, perhaps you have an actual physical disc inserted that's added itself as a repo source
[22:15] <al8989> ah ok
[22:16] <OddDuck> what are you using to do the install?
[22:16] <genii> This will happen if you install from alternate and no internet
[22:31] <ballison> Newly installed Ubuntu 14.04.  Changed PasswordAuthenication to "yes" in the sshd_config and restarted ssh.  Still not allowing me to ssh and use password
[22:31] <ballison> why ?
[22:33] <daftykins> ballison: with which user?
[22:33] <daftykins> SSH will work fine out of the box, with openssh-server installed, to the normal first created user.
[22:33] <ghr> ballison are you trying to ssh in as root? check the 'PermitRootLogin' setting if so
[22:33] <daftykins> or just don't trash the entire design principles of ubuntu and _DON'T_ USE ROOT to SSH.
[22:34] <ballison> ghr: a user i created
[22:34] <ballison> not root
[22:34] <daftykins> test via localhost
[22:34] <ballison> sshd is only allowing publickey auth
[22:34] <ballison> i need to enable password to allow support guy in.
[22:35] <daftykins> it's never like that on a clean install
[22:35] <daftykins> is this a VPS perhaps that's not even a normal ubuntu?
[22:35] <ballison> http://hastebin.com/raw/aviquwigut
[22:35] <ballison> that's my sshd_config
[22:36] <daftykins> that looks modified
[22:36] <ballison> daftykins: i created a support user.   set the password
[22:36] <daftykins> why's it not the ubuntu default?
[22:36] <beNifty> hugs
[22:36] <ballison> daftykins: yes I set PasswordAuthentication to "yes" and then restarted.  didn't work.
[22:37] <daftykins> but that's not the default file
[22:37] <ballison> daftykins: so I set ChallengeResponseAuthenitcaiton to "yes" and restart.  didn't work.
[22:37] <ballison> Daftykins: so I set "UsePAM" to "no" and restarted.  Didn't work.
[22:38] <ballison> deftykins: It is a default file.  I just installed a fresh 14.04.
[22:38] <daftykins> no because a default ubuntu config would be filled with comments
[22:38] <ballison> why is it only allowing key based login.
[22:38] <ballison> daftykins:  Do you not understand what 'grep -v ^#" does ????!!!
[22:39] <le_pig> ballison: ease up
[22:39] <daftykins> sure i do, doesn't mean you shared that you ran that :)
[22:39] <ballison> it's the first line
[22:39] <ballison> of the paste
[22:39] <ballison> http://hastebin.com/raw/aviquwigut
[22:39] <ballison> and awk 'NF' says to skip blank lines.
[22:39] <daftykins> so it is, but i've had a long day and it's 11pm here
[22:40] <daftykins> i think entries within the config matter where they're placed, so perhaps having keyauth on is superceeding password auth
[22:40] <daftykins> if you tried to connect in as that user with ssh -vvv you'd be able to see where it's failing
[22:40] <ballison> deftykins: weird.  All i've ever had to do before was just change PasswordAuthentication to "yes" and restart sshd
[22:41] <daftykins> i've never had to do that to SSH in with passwords
[22:41] <ballison> daftykin: i did. it's only allowing publickey
[22:41] <ballison> debug3: authmethod_lookup publickey
[22:42] <daftykins> try turning it off in there then unless any other users use it via key
[22:42] <ballison> daftykin: I login with a key
[22:43] <ballison> this is an out of the box Ubuntu 14.04.
[22:43] <ballison> turned on PasswordAuthentication and restarted sshd and it's still only allowing publickey
[22:44] <daftykins> either try it, or no
[22:44] <daftykins> will only take a couple of minutes
[22:44] <madh69> what is the best way to do a full backup of my whole drive for ubuntu 14.04lts
[22:45] <daftykins> the PasswordAuthentication line is commented out in mine, i'm in via password right now
[22:45] <daftykins> madh69: what's the plan?
[22:46] <madh69> well i want to install 16.04 beta as with 14.04 i have conflicting issues with my video card drivers its been documents so just incase i want to be able to just reinstall my backup if its going to be more of a pain
[22:46] <hipaysha> daftykins can you  please tell me why im seeing this message here in pastebin>>http://pastebin.com/XVEuhXbh
[22:47] <daftykins> hipaysha: address queries to the channel in future, don't hassle volunteers by name
[22:47] <hipaysha> understood
[22:47] <daftykins> hipaysha: that message is useless without context
[22:47] <xangua> madh69: do you have a separate partition for /home?
[22:47] <hipaysha> what contex did I not supply?
[22:48] <daftykins> hipaysha: what you're doing to get that message
[22:48] <ballison> it almost feels like /etc/init.d/ssh restart isn't working.
[22:48] <hipaysha> I enable firefox from terminal
[22:48] <ballison> it's not picking up any of my changes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[22:49] <daftykins> ballison: i still say the edits you have made are a mistake - "sudo service ssh restart" is best
[22:49] <daftykins> hipaysha: "enable" ?
[22:49] <hipaysha> yes
[22:49] <ballison> daftykins: wow - that was it.
[22:49] <daftykins> hipaysha: that makes no sense
[22:50] <notalentgeek> Hello I am installing Genymotion and get this error when opening the program, ./genymotion: error while loading shared libraries: libdouble-conversion.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. What could go wrong?
[22:50] <ballison> you have to do service ssh restart on ubuntu... /etc/init.d/ssh restart did nothing.
[22:50] <ballison> that's nuts
[22:50] <madh69> i want to install 16.04 beta as with 14.04 i have conflicting issues with my video card drivers its been documented. so just incase i want to be able to just reinstall my backup if its going to be more of a pain what is the best way to do a backup for reinstall
[22:50] <ballison> daftykins: thank you sir!!!
[22:50] <daftykins> ballison: cool - you really shouldn't need that parameter though, as mentioned it's commented out entirely on mine :) and yep because init scripts is the old way of doing things
[22:50] <ballison> but that's just crazy.  you have to use 'service ssh restart' on Ubuntu....
[22:50] <daftykins> ballison: np, glad we got there
[22:50] <ballison> that's nuts!
[22:50] <daftykins> no that's normal upstart actually.
[22:50] <daftykins> been like that for years
[22:51] <daftykins> madh69: i think that approach is a mistake.
[22:51] <daftykins> hopping to a beta is not a sane way to avoid solving problems
[22:51] <daftykins> (unless your hardware is brand new and you'd benefit from the newer kernel)
[22:52] <ballison> darftkins: I come from the RHEL/CentOS/AMazonLinux world.   that's nuts to me.  :) :) :)
[22:52] <daftykins> heh, then here be dragons!
[22:52] <ballison> but thank you for solving it.  it really felt like the restart was doing nothing and that was it!
[22:52] <daftykins> ballison: note that you can't restart networking on ubuntu regardless of command ;) for reference
[22:52] <madh69> well either way i cant do nothing with drivers on 14.04 lts
[22:53] <madh69> beta i will upgrade to lts in april
[22:53] <daftykins> madh69: you haven't asked for help with that part so we don't know! :)
[22:53] <madh69> yes i have... this is exactly my issue ill paste the link
[22:53] <ballison> daftykins: thank you again for solving it!!!!    off to the next fire!
[22:53] <daftykins> an executive summary would be nicer
[22:54] <madh69> http://askubuntu.com/questions/601088/distribution-not-supported-error-when-trying-to-install-intel-graphics-installer
[22:55] <madh69> the cause is in section 3
[22:55] <daftykins> madh69: never try to install the intel graphics driver, it is NOT needed - it's part of the kernel.
[22:55] <daftykins> nah, irrelevant method
[22:56] <madh69> yes that is tru but in this case the gpu has conflict with 14.04 read the post it explains what u are saying aswell
[22:56] <daftykins> madh69: what kernel are you on? "uname -r"
[22:56] <madh69> its noted on intel linux website that 14.04 and hd 2000 gpu wont work
[22:56] <madh69> im using 14.04lts
[22:57] <daftykins> no i asked which KERNEL you are using - reported by "uname -r"
[22:58] <LJHSLDJHSDLJH> I've this mumbo jumbo error while trying to install intel vga drive on vivid
[22:58] <LJHSLDJHSDLJH> http://pastebin.com/XgigEkks
[22:58] <madh69> oh sorry ok
[22:58] <LJHSLDJHSDLJH> can anyone understand what it says and/or how to fix it?
[22:59] <xubuntu_> Hello
[22:59] <daftykins> you do not install intel drivers on ubuntu, period.
[22:59] <daftykins> it is part of the kernel - do not attempt to do so.
[22:59] <madh69> 3.19.0-51-generic
[22:59] <xubuntu_> Im currently having issues that ubuntu 14.04 & 12.04 live cd cant detect my DVD drive
[22:59] <daftykins> madh69: ok and does "cat /etc/issue" report 14.04.4 ?
[22:59] <xubuntu_> i did a diagnostic test on my Dell latitude E6410 and it says Optical drive okay, and if i put a disc in it, it spins for a while but nothing gets mounted
[23:00] <ikonia> xubuntu_: manually mount it
[23:00] <madh69> yes normally that is 99.9 the case but in my situation the chipset reports 2nd gen intel all is good but gpu is not instlaled and the reason is apperently issues with the 14.04 it apperently works in any other version
[23:01] <xubuntu_> i have /dev/sg0 and /dev/sr0 apperantly if i do ls -la on both of them, it reports that root:cdrom owns /dev/sr0
[23:01] <xubuntu_> but if i run wodim -scanbus /dev/sr0 it tells me that its my USB san disk cruzer stick
[23:01] <xubuntu_> from where im now in a live session
[23:01] <daftykins> madh69: i think you're reading my messages to another user, which is the same exact topic.
[23:01] <madh69> Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS \n \l
[23:01] <xubuntu_> ikonia, do you suggest mounting it manually to /mnt i mean mount /dev/sr0 to /mnt
[23:02] <daftykins> madh69: what do you claim is not working there then? does the xorg log show it's using VESA instead of intel as the driver?
[23:02] <xubuntu_> ikonia, could it be a faulty configured BIOS that it does not detect my optical drive within the OS _
[23:03] <madh69> yes vesa its using and when i do a sudo lshw -C video i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/15331018/
[23:04] <daftykins> madh69: were you the one that was here with the same issue yesterday?
[23:04] <madh69> no
[23:04] <daftykins> or the weekend
[23:04] <xubuntu_> ikonia, should my BIOS ATA Devices be configured to ATA right? not AHCI, not RAID, Not IDE
[23:04] <xubuntu_> its a dell lattitude E6410 laptop
[23:05] <daftykins> ATA is not a valid choice versus those latter three
[23:05] <daftykins> AHCI is what should be used
[23:05] <madh69> NOTE (updated 18 March 2015 09:15 UTC-7): This release of the Graphics Installer requires Ubuntu 14.10 "utopic". The Graphics Installer will not function on Ubuntu 14.04 "trusty"
[23:05] <xubuntu_> daftykins, AHCI ? ok let me reboot and put AHCI. do you think thats the issue that my Optical drive is not found within a OS ?
[23:06] <daftykins> xubuntu_: no
[23:06] <daftykins> i also don't think there's any point you trying to put a CD in on a live session
[23:06] <daftykins> what type of CD is it anyway?
[23:06] <xubuntu_> daftykins, standard burned CD-R old ubuntu 9.04
[23:07] <daftykins> _9.04_?
[23:07] <xubuntu_> currently im on a usb stick with Xubuntu 12.04 in live session just trying to figure out why it cant read any disc
[23:07] <daftykins> we do not support EOL releases - why are you even doing something so ridiculous?
[23:07] <xubuntu_> daftykins, yes, ubuntu 9.04 burned on a CD-R disc
[23:07] <daftykins> oh sorry that's what's on the disc, lawl
[23:07] <daftykins> and yes you should try a manual mount command
[23:07] <xubuntu_> daftykins, because, i want it to read /find my discs, but apperantly it cant even find the optical drive
[23:07] <daftykins> check dmesg for it seeing the optical or not
[23:08] <xubuntu_> dmesg |grep CD
[23:08] <madh69> this is the whole reason i want to backup and isntall beta 1 and just gradually update to lts in april... i dont think there is anyway to resolve a documented issue that is conflicting with 14.04 for my gpu drivers
[23:08] <daftykins> it may not necessarily contain that.
[23:08] <xubuntu_> daftykins, [    7.523828] sr 4:0:0:1: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0
[23:09] <daftykins> madh69: so did you answer the question about whether you have /home on a separate partition?
[23:09] <daftykins> xubuntu_: useless entry
[23:09] <madh69> no its on the same partition
[23:10] <daftykins> madh69: then you need an external disk to backup to
[23:10] <madh69> yes thats fine i have a 3tb external;
[23:11] <xubuntu_> daftykins, please check here,
[23:11] <xubuntu_> daftykins,  http://s9.postimg.org/nnwf7wklr/Screenshot_03082016_11_10_33_PM.png
[23:12] <daftykins> xubuntu_: before i click that, is it an image of text?
[23:12] <daftykins> so open a file browser (nautilus for normal ubuntu) then press ctrl+h to show hidden files - and then copy + paste to your external drive
[23:12] <Myrtti> yes it is an image of text
[23:12] <daftykins> then it belongs on http://paste.ubuntu.com
[23:12] <daftykins> as text.
[23:12] <xubuntu_> daftykins, its an image
[23:13] <daftykins> right, do you see what i'm getting at though...
[23:13] <xubuntu_> ikonia, please see this http://s9.postimg.org/nnwf7wklr/Screenshot_03082016_11_10_33_PM.png
[23:16] <daftykins> hmm so you choose to refuse help because you don't know that images of text are silly
[23:16] <daftykins> cool :)
[23:17] <xubuntu_> daftykins, are you refering to my image?
[23:17] <xubuntu_> daftykins, np, you will recive text hang on.
[23:17] <daftykins> yeah you said it was an image of text
[23:18] <xubuntu_> daftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/15331086/
[23:18] <xubuntu_> ikonia, http://paste.ubuntu.com/15331086/
[23:20] <xubuntu_> daftykins, im all yours tell me what i should do
[23:20] <madh69> i figured it out with a terminal command thanks anyways
[23:21] <madh69> if=dev/sda1 of=dumb.img its creating an image
[23:21] <madh69> dd if=dev.... **
[23:22] <genii> You need a leading slash before dev
[23:22] <madh69> yep good eye
[23:22] <madh69> dd if=/dev/sda1 of=dump.img
[23:23] <daftykins> madh69: no that's not a wise approach.
[23:23] <Jordan_U> madh69: Very bad things can happen when you typo a dd command. Never run a dd command without triple checking it first.
[23:23] <daftykins> my bad, rebooted for updates :)
[23:24] <daftykins> xubuntu_: the CD being found is the virtual CD on a flash drive i think, you must have one of those ones with drivers and tools etc. on there - so yeah, looks like the kernel isn't recognising the optical drive at all
[23:24] <madh69> thanks for the heads up i type it ok... first time running this command as  a noob i will remember to tripple check
[23:24] <madh69> ;)
[23:24] <xubuntu_> daftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/15331119/
[23:24] <daftykins> xubuntu_: yeah that doesn't change anything
[23:25] <xubuntu_> daftykins, the actual name of my Laptop is Dell Latitude E6410. the burner itself is called Dell TS-U633
[23:26] <nick_34r> hello, if i do dist-upgrade will the kernel and xorg also be upgraded?
[23:26] <EriC^^> nick_34r: yeah
[23:26] <daftykins> xubuntu_: time to reboot with AHCI
[23:26] <xubuntu_> daftykins, do you mean that i should pick drivers from here? http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/latitude-E6410/drivers
[23:27] <nick_34r> ok, thanks... so i will only do upgrade
[23:27] <xubuntu_> daftykins, ok give me 1 min, will do :)
[23:27] <daftykins> i never said anything about manually downloading drivers, no
[23:27] <Jordan_U> nick_34r: You need to explain what you mean by "dist-upgrade".
[23:27] <nick_34r> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[23:27] <xubuntu_> daftykins, will reboot with AHCI one moment
[23:27] <daftykins> the only dist-upgrade ;)
[23:28] <nick_34r> i have to stay at the same kernel and xorg, so i'm worried
[23:28] <Jordan_U> nick_34r: That will only upgrade the kernel and xorg if updates for those packages are available. Why are you trying to avoid upgrading your kernel / xorg?
[23:28] <daftykins> surely not an AMD legacy card owner hiding out on 12.04.1 ?
[23:28] <victor_ubuntu_ne> Hi guys, is it possible to change panel icons of the ubuntu default login (and lock screen) screen?
[23:29] <nick_34r> i have to stay there because of a outdated drive, so i install 14.04.1 and want to avoid 14.04.2 3 4
[23:29] <nick_34r> because i want to stay at the 14.04.1 kernel and xorg
[23:29] <daftykins> nick_34r: dist-upgrade is fine to run, you will get the newer 3.13 kernel - it won't install a NEWER one (i.e. > 3.13)
[23:29] <daftykins> you can be on 14.04.1, dist-upgrade and become 14.04.4 whilst still on 3.13.
[23:30] <daftykins> you will not get a newer kernel version - or a newer xorg
[23:30] <nick_34r> really and xorg?
[23:30] <daftykins> you have to install HWE stacks to get those
[23:30] <daftykins> !hwe
[23:30] <daftykins> so you can safely "sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade"
[23:30] <apexal> hello
[23:31] <daftykins> nothing like joining and quitting
[23:32] <stevenahoy> hello

[23:45] <EriC^^> try sudo service lightdm restart
[23:45] <EriC^^> yeah, if you want to change anything that has to do with lightdm you have to do them
[23:46] <xubuntu> daftykins, Thank you soo much
[23:46] <Guest9328> you are awesome!! live cd booted as expected without any keystroke from my side
[23:46] <xubuntu-live> daftykins, thank you soo much really

[23:48] <stevenahoy> thanks guys
[23:49] <victor_> EriC^^,  sorry
[23:49] <victor_> i went down
[23:49] <victor_> so thanks, everything was ok
[23:49] <victor_> but my icons look a little bit cut

[23:50] <victor_> is it changable too?
[23:50] <tolland_> im having lots of trouble getting the ubunutu 15 iso to boot from a usb stick
[23:51] <tolland_> it seems to work fine with 14. I also tried booting to the iso cd, and then writing the usb stick from startup disk creator in 15, but same error "SYSLINUX 6.03 EDD 20150813 Copyright (C) 1994-2012 H. Peter Anvin et al Boot Error"
[23:54] <xubuntu-live> daftykins, may i ask if you are running ubuntu 14.04?
[23:54] <xubuntu-live> daftykins, i was wondering if anyone can confirm the default package (Kupfer) exist for default repository in 14.04 and later?
[23:55] <EriC^^> victor_: no idea
[23:55] <EriC^^> victor_: you want to change the icon's width?
[23:56] <victor_> EriC^^,  i was thinking about changing the panel's width and transparency
[23:58] <EriC^^> victor_: you can change the transparency
[23:58] <EriC^^> no idea about the width though
[23:58] <victor_> and how is it please?


[20:15] <ScottL> eh, ardour released 2.8.7 before we could even officially release 2.8.6 (luckily it says that 2.8.7 is mostly addressing Mac bugs)
[20:26] <crimsun> is it bug fixes, mostly?
[21:24] <ScottL> that's what the news says, crimsun
[21:25] <ScottL> "This is a bug fix release almost exclusively focused on OS X" from http://ardour.org/node/3327
[21:28] <ScottL> the other thing I learned today is that my p4 recording box really, really struggles with JAMin   :(
[21:51] <stochastic> re: ardour 2.8.7 - "Linux users who do not use the Czech translation have little reason to upgrade at this time."
[22:00]  * persia likes upstreams who tell people there's no point upgrading: it makes it easier to keep up.
[23:18] <ScottL> TheMuso, are you aware if any of the speech synthesis applications are jack aware?
[23:18] <ScottL> i thought this could be used in some music type stuff
[23:18] <ScottL> if you don't know, then that's groovy as well
[23:19] <ScottL> http://www.mchawking.com/   <--- this got me thinking about it
[23:23] <TheMuso> ScottL: No they are not.
[23:23] <TheMuso> Except for espeak via portuaudio 19.
[23:23] <TheMuso> portaudio even
[23:24]  * TheMuso kicks mono in the balls.


[09:46] <A-Kaser> poy poy
[09:50] <lionelp> Hi A-Kaser
[11:16] <A-Kaser> :)
[12:24] <TrioTorus> Anybody know how to allow user acces OR group acces in .htacces file?
[12:24] <TrioTorus> require user xxxx group yyy as an OR doesn't seem to work
[12:24] <A-Kaser> in two line ?
[12:25] <TrioTorus> euh, haven't tried, but unlikely
[12:25] <TrioTorus> I'll try it right away :-)
[12:25] <A-Kaser>  Multiple groups can be listed, and require user can also be given, in which case any user in any of the listed groups, or any user listed explicitly, can access the resource. For example
[12:25] <A-Kaser>   require group staff admin
[12:25] <A-Kaser>   require user adminuser
[12:25] <A-Kaser> oups sorry ... I will use the pastebin ...
[12:26] <TrioTorus> any reason why you put requre group first?
[12:26] <A-Kaser> I have jsut paste :)
[12:27] <A-Kaser> in google : "htaccess require user and group"
[12:27] <A-Kaser> the third answer
[12:27] <TrioTorus> A-Kaser, thanks, sorry obvious thing, it works! on two lines
[12:28] <A-Kaser> no problem, it was a good question :)
[01:08] <J_P> hi all
[01:12] <A-Kaser> hi
[04:24] <A-Kaser> zzzzz
