[00:06] <_PlayMCPENetwork> root@vm79190:~# mysql -u root
[00:06] <_PlayMCPENetwork> ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
[00:07] <jameskb> how does one get a list of "rooms" on this server?

[00:08] <Guest64950> _PlayMCPENetwork, Starting to think that the answer is NO
[00:08] <_PlayMCPENetwork> Yep lol
[00:08] <jameskb> it would appear not
[00:08] <_PlayMCPENetwork> No nerds on atm

[00:11] <_PlayMCPENetwork> ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
[00:12] <daftykins> "mysql -u root -p"
[00:12] <daftykins> will ask for password entry
[00:12] <daftykins> then type it in
[00:12] <Locke2002> I have no idea, but since no one's helping you... Wouldn't your sql database have its own password? Being root wouldn't bypass that right?
[00:13] <_PlayMCPENetwork> k
[00:13] <Locke2002> nvm, don't listen to me
[00:13] <_PlayMCPENetwork> His way just worked :P
[00:15] <_PlayMCPENetwork> it seems dead here today
[00:15] <kr4m3r> hello all, how i can play hdmi (my cable tv box) on VLC or other app? I have cable tv but have no tv yet. Its possible?
[00:15] <Krenair> _PlayMCPENetwork, ugh. I remember running into this issue so much when I first started messing with mysql
[00:16] <_PlayMCPENetwork> Ik im trying to setup xenforo :P
[00:16] <Krenair> kr4m3r, you want to have an HDMI input that VLC displays?
[00:16] <_PlayMCPENetwork> And you need database for xenforo
[00:16] <_PlayMCPENetwork> !xenforo
[00:16] <_PlayMCPENetwork> O theres no info :P
[00:16] <daftykins> !info xenforo
[00:17] <daftykins> !find xenforo
[00:17] <kr4m3r> Krenair: yup! i need see my cable tv in vlc! its possible?
[00:17] <daftykins> *shrug*
[00:17] <_PlayMCPENetwork> erm
[00:17] <_PlayMCPENetwork> What do i change in this command?
[00:17] <_PlayMCPENetwork> root@vm79190:~# mysql -u root
[00:17] <_PlayMCPENetwork> ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
[00:17] <_PlayMCPENetwork> wait wrong one
[00:18] <daftykins> i was gonna say, we just got past that one XD
[00:18] <_PlayMCPENetwork> mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD
[00:18] <_PlayMCPENetwork> Do i replace PASSWORD for a password?
[00:18] <_PlayMCPENetwork> xD
[00:18] <kr4m3r> _PlayMCPENetwork: yes
[00:18] <_PlayMCPENetwork> Mysql is so frickin hard xD
[00:18] <daftykins> but if you're creating a db, you won't be logging into it as root
[00:19] <daftykins> you'll create a new user exclusively to manage that db
[00:19] <Krenair> _PlayMCPENetwork, I hate to say this but... have you tried googling it? :p
[00:19] <_PlayMCPENetwork> Nah ill use phpmyadmin much eaier
[00:19] <_PlayMCPENetwork> :p
[00:19] <daftykins> lol
[00:19] <_PlayMCPENetwork> Phpmyadmin works magic wonders
[00:19] <kr4m3r> Krenair: idea? is possible to watch cable tv in linux over hdmi?
[00:19] <daftykins> create database xenforo;
[00:20] <Krenair> kr4m3r, sorry, I don't know. I was only trying to clear up exactly what you were attempting to do
[00:20] <_PlayMCPENetwork> i will :p
[00:20] <_PlayMCPENetwork> im trying to follow a tutorial at da same time xD
[00:20] <Krenair> kr4m3r, a quick google search suggests that there are HDMI capture devices...
[00:20] <_PlayMCPENetwork> What does he want something like a pvr?
[00:21] <mgolisch> iam watching cable tv using tvheadend and a supported capture card
[00:21] <Krenair> yeah, just wants to be able to take HDMI input and display it in VLC _PlayMCPENetwork
[00:21] <_PlayMCPENetwork> I use haupage :p
[00:22] <_PlayMCPENetwork> Omfg this is annoying how do i exit out of mysql comands?
[00:22] <_PlayMCPENetwork> Like abort it?
[00:23] <mgolisch> cntrl+c ?
[00:23] <_PlayMCPENetwork> o thanks
[00:23] <_PlayMCPENetwork> I wanted to use xampp becuz its much eaiser but i messed up my sudo file :P
[00:25] <Krenair> _PlayMCPENetwork, typically in linux, ctrl+c will get you out of whatever program you're running
[00:25] <_PlayMCPENetwork> Whats the difference between apache2 and lighttpd?
[00:25] <_PlayMCPENetwork> !apache2
[00:25] <_PlayMCPENetwork> !lighttpd
[00:25] <_PlayMCPENetwork> hmmm
[00:25] <_PlayMCPENetwork> !xenforo
[00:25] <Krenair> they're two different pieces of software. they are both http servers
[00:25] <_PlayMCPENetwork> Which one would you recommend the most?
[00:26] <Krenair> Have only used apache2 on my local machines.
[00:26] <Krenair> so can't really comment
[00:26] <_PlayMCPENetwork> k
[00:28] <_PlayMCPENetwork> It says something :/ http://prntscr.com/3fyduk Whats the best option?
[00:29] <Krenair> _PlayMCPENetwork, are you an advanced databases administrator?
[00:29] <_PlayMCPENetwork> I don't know anything bout it xD
[00:29] <_PlayMCPENetwork> as you can tell :p
[00:29] <_PlayMCPENetwork> i want something thats just simple
[00:29] <Krenair> Then say yes. The message says that you should consider pressing no if you are advanced and want to do it manually
[00:30] <_PlayMCPENetwork> So yes will do it automaticaly for you?
[00:31] <_PlayMCPENetwork> done finaly
[00:31] <_PlayMCPENetwork> omfg theres more :L
[00:35] <ideopathic> I'm trying to find the ia32-libs for Ubuntu 14.0.4LTS but I'm not having any luck on what is the current replacement.. any suggestions?

[00:40] <Tin_man> whats up ?
[00:41] <[[thufir]]> I can't get any sounds:   http://paste.ubuntu.com/7389985/   I ran a clean install
[00:42] <Tin_man> on what  ???
[00:43] <Tin_man> ubuntU ????
[00:43] <[[thufir]]> on ubuntu
[00:43] <Tin_man> what ver?
[00:44] <[[thufir]]> trusty.  14.04
[00:45] <_PlayMCPENetwork> Hello i've installed phpmyadmin already but when i do localhost/phpmyadmin it says 404 not found :/
[00:45] <[[thufir]]> I looked in the settings, but nothing there looked interesting.  No result when I do the tests.
[00:45] <Tin_man> does your sound card work beyound win..
[00:45] <mgolisch> [[thufir]]: hows your monitor connected?
[00:45] <mgolisch> does it have speakers?
[00:46] <[[thufir]]> the speakers plug into the back with a jack.  They are powered and vol up.  it worked on 13.x, but with the same physical setup, now clean install -- nothing.  no speakers on monitor.
[00:48] <mgolisch> is the monitor connected via hdmi?
[00:48] <[[thufir]]> I dunno, I fiddled all yesterday, now, seconds after asking here, it works.  thanks for fixing it ;)
[00:48] <mgolisch> maybe it asumes that it supports sound via hdmi
[00:48] <mgolisch> :()
[00:48] <[[thufir]]> lol.  the rule of asking.  fix just by asking.
[00:49] <Krenair> _PlayMCPENetwork, try localhost/phpMyAdmin ?
[00:52] <_PlayMCPENetwork> ok
[00:53] <Krenair> _PlayMCPENetwork, did it work?
[00:53] <_PlayMCPENetwork> Nope
[00:53] <_PlayMCPENetwork> The requested URL /phpMyAdmin was not found on this server.
[00:54] <Daekdroom> How do I check the path for the binary of a specific command?
[00:55] <_PlayMCPENetwork> Urgh i hate mysql

[00:58] <mm_> opening doc file wiith openoffice is messed up..any suggestions?
[00:59] <Tin_man> i'm new to linux, and i'm sure not missing windows a bit ...: }
[00:59] <mm_> anyway to open and edit doc files efficiently in linux?
[01:00] <lyntoo> while i leave windows since xp for ever, i never regret my choice
[01:00] <mgolisch> mm_: how is it messed up?
[01:00] <mgolisch> it should work just well
[01:00] <kostkon> mm_, openoffice or libreoffice
[01:00] <mm_> libreoffice
[01:01] <mm_> text is messed up alitte.
[01:01] <srock> openoffice or libreoffice are better than microsoft office
[01:01] <mm_> libreoffice is not.
[01:01] <mgolisch> no their not
[01:01] <mm_> Ican not find opnooffice tho
[01:01] <srock> less trouble with older files
[01:01] <ominomi> Hello, is there a way to change Compiz window borders to anything other than Ambiance and Radiance without having to disable Unity? I wish to use the Orchis theme from the Moka project. I can change the window borders to this in ccsm by enabling "Window Decorations", but it says it conflicts with the  Unity plugin and if I go through with it, it disables the launcher dock and the top menu bar entirely.
[01:01] <mgolisch> they fail to provide an alternative to access
[01:01] <mgolisch> base is realy not ready for anything
[01:02] <mm_> ubuntu has open office by default
[01:02] <kostkon> mm_, libreoffice
[01:02] <mm_> kostkon: libreoffice isopen office
[01:02] <mm_> ?
[01:02] <kostkon> mm_, it's a fork of openoffice
[01:03] <mm_> not opening my files in decent way. unfortunately
[01:03] <larry> bfmersion
[01:03] <mgolisch> generaly it shouldnt have much problems with doc format
[01:03] <trism> ominomi: should be able to change it with unity-tweak-tool
[01:03] <vfw> mm_: What is wrong with libreoffice?
[01:04] <mgolisch> it may not support some stuff from the newer xml baes docx format
[01:04] <mgolisch> though
[01:04] <mm_> its .doc
[01:04] <mm_> Microsoft Word Document
[01:04] <vfw> mm_: Define "decent way".
[01:04] <mgolisch> but then again its like 0eur vs 300 eur or whatever the prof version of office is
[01:04] <ominomi> trism: I'll try that now. Thanks.
[01:04] <mm_> Some text format is not correct.
[01:04] <mgolisch> so it still good for a completely free product
[01:05] <mm_> some text below where it should be
[01:05] <vfw> mm_: Oh, fonts are different?
[01:05] <vfw> !fonts | mm_
[01:05] <mm_> and some text below the line
[01:05] <vfw> mm_: below what line?
[01:05] <vfw> mm_:  Lines in a table?
[01:06] <mgolisch> if you want stuff to look the same have a look at pdf/a standard
[01:06] <mm_> kind of
[01:06] <vfw> mm_: You probably just need some fonts.
[01:06] <mm_> so?
[01:07] <sporkius> I have a monitor. When 12.04 boots it I can see the bios and post screen. I am loosing the monitor once it gets to ubuntu
[01:07] <sporkius> I can see it in the displays section of systems tools
[01:07] <sporkius> ergh system settings
[01:08] <sporkius> any suggestions?
[01:09] <mgolisch> sporkius: enable it there?
[01:09] <sporkius> what do you mean mgolish
[01:10] <mgolisch> like when your in syszem settings - displaydevices or whatever its named in english enable that display
[01:10] <mgolisch> and it should display something
[01:10] <sporkius> I have done that. IT still isnt showing anything
[01:10] <mgolisch> whats your graphics driver/card?
[01:13] <lmbeta8> hi guys need little help with samba and automouting ntfs hard drive to have read/write access for all samba users
[01:13] <cuyotte> Has anyone had any luck with working with plex on a linux machine?
[01:13] <sporkius2> sorry got disconnected
[01:14] <sporkius2> I am not sure how to tell what driver I am using
[01:14] <mgolisch> cuyotte: no idea never used plex
[01:14] <mgolisch> lmbeta8: whats your problem?
[01:15] <mgolisch> lmbeta8: just make the share use whatever user the ntfs is mounted with
[01:16] <lmbeta8> if mount ntfs hdd using admin account only admin can login and write to that drive others user can authenticate but are unable access the share
[01:17] <html> how can i know whats installed on my ubuntu server with the terminal?
[01:17] <Bashing-om> sporkius2: To see your graphics card and some related info , Terminal command -> sudo lshw -C display <- .
[01:18] <mgolisch> lmbeta8: just make the share use whatever user you mount the ntfs as
[01:18] <mgolisch> lmbeta8: or set the guid option when mounting the ntfs to a group that your samba users use
[01:19] <sporkius2> PCI (sysfs) is what I get
[01:20] <lmbeta8> i want ntfs hdd to be mounted startup with read/write but not sure of what should put /etc/fstab
[01:20] <Bashing-om> sporkius: Give it time to complete. takes a bit to look at the hardware.
[01:20] <mgolisch> lmbeta8: as ntfs doesnt support the posix permission model youd have to specify a user/group to mount it as, adjust your share accordingly
[01:21] <mgolisch> or dont use ntfs
[01:21] <mgolisch> :)
[01:22] <lmbeta8> not using ntfs is not possile should use something like this dev/sdb1 /windows/C type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,blksize=4096)
[01:23] <sporkius2> http://pastebin.com/embed_js.php?i=AcEYqvaC
[01:23] <sporkius2> that is what I get
[01:23] <sporkius2> ignore the top portion of what I sent :P
[01:24] <django> what is the update manager?
[01:24] <django> ubuntu 12.04
[01:26] <Bashing-om> sporkius2: That says you have the ATI card [Radeon HD 8500 Series], and the proprietary driver is loaded. What is the issue with it ?
[01:27] <sporkius2> I have 2 monitors. One is an actual monitor the other is a hdmi tv
[01:27] <sporkius2> during post both displays work. Once ubuntu starts to load only the monitor displays. The tv doesnt display
[01:28] <Bashing-om> sporkius2: Humm, the card does support 2 monitors. Have you tried the GUI settings in "display" .
[01:28] <sporkius2> I have and nothing
[01:28] <sporkius2> I hooked a second monitor up and it works fine
[01:28] <django> anyone know lenovo ideapad BIOS settings?
[01:28] <sporkius2> It is just hanging on connecting to the tv
[01:29] <sporkius2> I pulled out a windows laptop and the tv works fine on it
[01:29] <Wug> sporkius2: what version did you say you were using
[01:30] <sporkius2> 12.04
[01:30] <Wug> I seem to recall having to do weird things like restarting X in order to get new displays to function, have you tried logging out and back in again
[01:30] <mgolisch> sporkius2: how is that tv connected?
[01:30] <mgolisch> hdmi?
[01:31] <sporkius2> yes it is hdmi
[01:31] <mgolisch> hm
[01:31] <Wug> the spare monitor you tried was also HDMI, correct/
[01:31] <sporkius2> and I have bounced the machine a couple times trying to get it to play nice
[01:31] <Wug> ?
[01:31] <sporkius2> yes
[01:31] <sporkius2> everything I have tested is hdmi. Only thing the card supports
[01:31] <Wug> is the resolution set wrong? what does the TV say?
[01:31] <Wug> signal out of range or something similar perhaps?
[01:31] <sporkius2> resolution is right based on what worked for the windows machine
[01:32] <Wug> my experience is that TVs are invariably horrible for use as monitors
[01:32] <sporkius2> oh I dont argue
[01:32] <Wug> the colors are all wrong, and the resolution is never right either
[01:32] <sporkius2> I only wanted to use it for movie watching
[01:33] <Wug> TVs like to advertise 1080p, and then actually only be like 1050p
[01:33] <mgolisch> so it displays as active/enabled mintor in systemsettings - displaydevices?
[01:33] <mgolisch> and still doesnt display anything?
[01:33] <sporkius2> yep
[01:33] <django> how do I install xchat?
[01:34] <kostkon> django, use the software centre or just do sudo apt-get install xchat in the terminal
[01:34] <sporkius2> It was a long shot anyway
[01:34] <pdo_fn14> django: sudo apt-get install xchat
[01:34] <sporkius2> The fact that a video card works at all is a minor miracle
[01:34] <does> django: Ubuntu Software center has it to.
[01:34] <mgolisch> i heard that atis driver became better over the time
[01:35] <Wug> sporkius2: you could probably try dist-upgrading, to see if it's something a newer release has fixed
[01:35] <mgolisch> i never had issues with nvidia so i nevertried any ati cards
[01:35] <sporkius2> oh well this machine is a monster into itself
[01:36] <sporkius2> If has a pcie x16 in a x8 slot
[01:36] <sporkius2> and it is a old poweredge server as a desktop
[01:36] <sporkius2> the fact that it hasnt popped I can handle the tv not working
[01:36] <mgolisch> wow dont want your powerbill
[01:37] <sporkius2> oh its only on when I am using it
[01:37] <Bashing-om> sporkius2: ; Wug , mind yall, I do not know, but monitor #2 ->  *-display UNCLAIMED , capabilities: pm vga_controller cap_list , configuration: latency=32 mingnt=8 . No driver is loaded - is any available ? Connect the TV and see if there is anything in dmesg log file ?
[01:39] <sporkius2> but hey who can complain it has 4 quad core processors :D
[01:39] <django> anyone play GW2 on ubuntu?
[01:40] <Bashing-om> sporkius2: Not to complain, just want to make it work, maybe a bit more info with the TV connectd, -> lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 vga <- .
[01:42] <viper474> django: I don't. Because I don't know where I put that authentication code

[01:58] <Odd0002> hello?
[01:58] <Player> Hello.
[01:58] <Player> Odd0002: Do you have an issue you need help with?
[01:58] <Odd0002> I have a problem with my ubuntu 14.04 minimal install
[01:59] <Odd0002> my wifi connects on boot, but then after a few minutes, it disconnects and I can't reconnect without rebooting
[01:59] <cartusia> Alright I haven't been able to use my Linux because I simply haven't been able to update it in such a long time. Which drive is it that needs to get expanded with Gparted? Is it the root, and if I repartition that specific folder will it erase the data.
[02:00] <Jordan_U> Odd0002: What chipset is your wireless card?
[02:00] <Odd0002> the wifi network essid/key is defined in /etc/networking/interfaces
[02:00] <Odd0002> it's a b43 one (had to install drivers)
[02:00] <Odd0002> (not b43-legacy)
[02:00] <Jordan_U> Odd0002: What drivers/firmware did you install?
[02:02] <Odd0002> Jordan_U: lspci says broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g
[02:02] <Odd0002> connecting to WEP network
[02:02] <Jordan_U> Odd0002: Please pastebin the output of "lspci -vnn -d 14e4:" .
[02:02] <Odd0002> uhh, I can't... it's a minimal install...
[02:02] <Jordan_U> !pastebinit | Odd0002
[02:03] <Odd0002> well I guess I have to reboot it then...
[02:03] <Jordan_U> Odd0002: It's better to have an open network than one using WEP. At least with an open network you will hopefully not act like the network is in any way secure.
[02:03] <Jordan_U> Odd0002: Can't temporarily connect via ethernet?
[02:04] <Odd0002> 1 sec
[02:05] <Odd0002> Jordan_U: do you just do "pastebinit command"?
[02:05] <Odd0002> or do you do "command > pastebinit"?
[02:05] <Jordan_U> Odd0002: What does ubottu's message say?
[02:05] <Bashing-om> sporkius2: Hate to say but I do not know, only drivers avail per lspci is open source, recon open source on the 2nd output does not play nice with FGLRX on the 1st output ?
[02:05] <Odd0002> oh
[02:06] <Jordan_U> Odd0002: You can save some typing by ommitting the "-b http://paste.ubuntu.com" as that should be the default anyway.
[02:06] <Odd0002> ok, it's 7390264
[02:07] <Odd0002> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7390264/
[02:08] <mumersidd> is this true ubuntu will stop ubuntu one very soon  :(\
[02:08] <viper474> mumersidd: depends what you mean by ubuntu one
[02:08] <Odd0002> Jordan_U: see it?
[02:09] <Jordan_U> mumersidd: Yes. http://blog.canonical.com/2014/04/02/shutting-down-ubuntu-one-file-services/
[02:09] <mumersidd> that free service to upload files
[02:09] <Jordan_U> Odd0002: So you're using the b43 driver. Please pastebin the output of "dmesg".
[02:12] <Odd0002> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7390277/ , starting around line 716
[02:12] <Odd0002> is the wifi info
[02:13] <Odd0002> Jordan_U: and then after line 754 it disconnects
[02:14] <Jordan_U> Odd0002: How are you trying to re-connect?
[02:15] <Odd0002> ifdown then ifup
[02:15] <mumersidd> ifdown wlan0
[02:15] <mumersidd> ifup wlan0
[02:16] <Odd0002> gets stuck on the DHCPDISCOVER after ifup
[02:16] <Jordan_U> Odd0002: Please pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces .
[02:16] <Odd0002> yes mumersidd
[02:16] <Jordan_U> Odd0002: And the output of "iwconfig".
[02:17] <mumersidd> how to heighlight in vi  ? any idea
[02:18] <mumersidd> highlight
[02:18] <mumersidd> :set hlsearch
[02:20] <Odd0002> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7390300/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/7390305/
[02:20] <Odd0002> Jordan_U: this is after it disconnects
[02:22] <Jordan_U> Odd0002: Do you have network-manager installed?
[02:24] <Odd0002> Jordan_U: sort of... I have openbox and installed network manager and let it manage interfaces, but it doesn't connect to it either after it disconnects
[02:25] <Jordan_U> Odd0002: So in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf you have "[ifupdown]\nmanaged=true" (where '\n' is a newline)?
[02:26] <Odd0002> yes
[02:26] <ominomi> Is it me or does "Window theme" not do anything in Ubuntu Tweak 0.8.7 on Ubuntu 14.04? Perhaps a bug?
[02:27] <xangua> ominomi: unity no longer uses metacity decorator
[02:29] <Jordan_U> Odd0002: Does "sudo rmmod b43 b43-pci-bridge && sudo modprobe b43" allow it to connect again?
[02:29] <Odd0002> hmm, didn't try
[02:29] <Odd0002> 1 sec
[02:31] <mumersidd> is ubuntu 14.04 using new Xserver created by ubuntu
[02:31] <Odd0002> Jordan_U: hmm, the b43-pci-bridge module isn't loaded... but it does reconnect after reloading the module
[02:32] <mumersidd> mir  ?
[02:32] <Odd0002> the b43-module
[02:33] <Odd0002> Jordan_U: wait... I forgot I was connected to ethernet
[02:33] <xangua> mumersidd: no
[02:33] <Jordan_U> Odd0002: I was a little surprised to see lspci listing it as the driver in use, maybe internally b43-pci-bridge is provided by the b43 module.
[02:33] <mumersidd> xangua when they will use mir :( because it will take to much time to launch another LTS
[02:34] <mumersidd> 14:10 15:04 15:10 16:04 will be LTS
[02:34] <Jordan_U> mumersidd: Nobody knows for sure, and some people think possibly never (though that's not the official timeline of course :).
[02:34] <mumersidd> hmmm
[02:34] <Odd0002> Jordan_U: hmm, no it doesn't let it reconnect, but ifup seems to reload the module itself...
[02:35] <Jordan_U> mumersidd: If you'd like to discuss the nebulous future, pop into #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[02:36] <esterleigh> hello, I have an xubuntu question, would this be an ok place to ask it?
[02:36] <Jordan_U> Odd0002: As much as I don't like suggesting proprietary drivers over open ones, wl is another option that should work for your card.
[02:37] <kostkon> mumersidd, mir will be ready for 16.04, that's the plan anyway
[02:37] <Jordan_U> esterleigh: Yes, though #xubuntu might have more people familiar with XFCE.
[02:37] <Odd0002> Jordan_U: well, it's worked fine since ubuntu 9.10 with a full DE...
[02:37] <kostkon> mumersidd, it's already in 14.04 but only for testing
[02:37] <esterleigh> ok thanks, nobody's responding over at #xubuntu so I'll try here
[02:38] <mumersidd> hmm thanks for the update guys
[02:38] <Jordan_U> Odd0002: Can you try testing with a 14.04 LiveCD to see if you can reproduce the problem?
[02:38] <esterleigh> with mint xfce I could right click in thunar for root access
[02:38] <kostkon> mumersidd, if you want to test it out, http://www.olli-ries.com/doing-more-with-your-unity8-preview-session-in-ubuntu-14-04/
[02:38] <esterleigh> but i don't seem to be able to gain root access with thunar in xubuntu
[02:38] <esterleigh> is it possible w/o terminal?
[02:38] <Odd0002> Jordan_U: live cd? I won't be able to install the wifi drivers then...
[02:38] <Odd0002> because it requires a reboot
[02:39] <mumersidd> thanks for the url kostkon
[02:39] <kostkon> mumersidd, np
[02:39] <Jordan_U> Odd0002: 1: It's firmware you need, not drivers 2: The "Additional Drivers" tool sometimes lies about what actually requires a reboot :)
[02:40] <mumersidd> is there nay good putty manager for ubuntu i use x4shell for windows that's i really miss in ubuntu
[02:40] <kostkon> mumersidd, putty
[02:40] <mumersidd> putty manager so i can manage all the lists of different clients save passwords
[02:40] <kostkon> !info putty
[02:40] <Odd0002> Jordan_U: but then I'd have to download a liveCD and run it on slow hardware...
[02:41] <mumersidd> in putty you can not create folders like client1 and all it's server another folder client to and all it's server
[02:41] <Odd0002> Jordan_U: any other suggestions?
[02:41] <Jordan_U> Odd0002: An Lubuntu LiveCD runs great on my almost 10 year old laptop.
[02:42] <Odd0002> but ...download times...
[02:42] <mumersidd> use usb wireless card 0dd002
[02:42] <mumersidd> :)
[02:43] <Odd0002> mumersidd: the only USB wireless card I have requires ndiswrapper to work...
[02:43] <Locke2002> I just spent 2 days fighting with my Thinkpad T30's built-in wireless card before remembering I had a slim factor USB wifi card. Was connected within 3 minutes of plugging it in, lol.
[02:43] <Jordan_U> Odd0002: wl
[02:43] <Odd0002> Jordan_U: the thing I found strange was that it disconnected after about 300 seconds every time...
[02:43] <mumersidd> lolz Locke2002
[02:44] <Jordan_U> Odd0002: Is this network used by a lot of other machines?
[02:44] <Odd0002> Jordan_U: what's your concern with that?
[02:45] <Odd0002> Jordan_U: I don't know what you mean by "a lot"; there's enough dhcp addresses to go around, and it works on linux mint 15, 13, 9, ubuntu 10.04, 10.10, 9.10...
[02:46] <Jordan_U> Odd0002: This comment on a possibly related bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpasupplicant/+bug/872578/comments/9 Though that user only experienced disconnects, not inability to reconnect.
[02:46] <nick___> Odd0002: macbook use wlan cards from broadcom
[02:46] <Odd0002> nick___: this is an HP netbook from 2009
[02:46] <Odd0002> Jordan_U: that's for wpa... not wep
[02:49] <Odd0002> Jordan_U: I'm confused about this problem as well: without networkmanager I couldn't connect the the university wifi (open network), but with it, I can without disconnecting; without networkmanager it seemed to stay connected?
[02:49] <Odd0002> wicd didn't work either
[02:49] <Jordan_U> Odd0002: But the network being at capacity doesn't sound like a WPA specific problem. Why is this network using WEP anyway?
[02:50] <Odd0002> Jordan_U: it's been using WEP for a long time, and I sometimes connect some old hardware to it
[02:50] <Jordan_U> Odd0002: Why not make it open, since it effectively is already?
[02:50] <Odd0002> and there's a lot of stuff like printers and etc that I'd have to reconfigure
[02:51] <Odd0002> Jordan_U: because no one's tried to get on it before (I can tell by the DHCP table)
[02:51] <Odd0002> and my wifi doesn't extend very far past the walls of the house
[02:52] <Jordan_U> Odd0002: Try making it open and see if the problem goes away.
[02:53] <Odd0002> Jordan_U: the thing I want from the distro is really short boot times on an HDD, so I went with a minimal install
[02:53] <Jordan_U> Odd0002: "without networkmanager I couldn't connect the the university wifi (open network), but with it, I can without disconnecting; without networkmanager it seemed to stay connected?" This comment is confusing and seems possibly self-contradictory. Could you please rephrase it?
[02:54] <Odd0002> and I have nothing on the computer, so if you want to recommend a distro for it, please do
[02:57] <Odd0002> Jordan_U: without networkmanager: couldn't connect to open university wifi that required signing in, but could connect to WEP and (I think) didn't disconnect;;; with networkmanager: finally connected and registered to open wifi, but then started seeing "you were disconnected" message after 5 minutes of being connected to WEP network
[02:57] <javanic> hello all
[02:58] <javanic> anyone know about installing ubuntu alongside windows 8.1? having partitioning issues...
[02:58] <Odd0002> Jordan_U: all I want is an ubuntu base(d) OS with very fast boot times: off to abiword in less than a minute...
[02:59] <Odd0002> any recommendations there Jordan_U ?
[03:01] <javanic> has anyone installed alongside windows 8.1?
[03:04] <holstein> javanic: yes
[03:04] <holstein> !dualboot | javanic
[03:05] <javanic> thanks guys, checking out the instructions now :)
[03:23] <mun24> I want to install old package which used to install ubuntu server 12.04 but not 13.1. Installing on 13.1 gives an error "has no installation candidate"
[03:24] <mun24> any way to install on 13.1
[03:27] <X1C> What is the name of the package in 12.04
[03:27] <mun24> wu-ftpd
[03:27] <guang> this is a test
[03:29] <kostkon> !info wu-ftpd 13.10
[03:29] <kostkon> !info wu-ftpd saucy
[03:32] <mun24> kostkon: it means it cannot be installed on 13.10?
[03:32] <boze> on trusty can you reorder the system tray icons?
[03:32] <kostkon> boze, no
[03:32] <kostkon> mun24, if that's the name of the pacakge, then no
[03:33] <mun24> oh
[03:37] <DoYouKnow> how do I use my USB audio device in ubuntu?
[03:48] <ghostx562> hey guys is there a way on firefox to get rid of the weird ubuntu skin?
[03:49] <Lac3rat3d> i don't actually want to run the program as root though
[03:49] <viper474> hmm
[03:49] <Lac3rat3d> i just want to make sure the person that runs the alias function knows the root pasword
[03:49] <xangua> ghostx562: firefox addons, themes, full themes
[03:50] <ghostx562> xangua: awesome thanks!
[03:50] <ghostx562> xangua: so i have to add a theme?
[03:50] <ghostx562> I'm only showing the "default" theme
[03:51] <xangua> ghostx562: by firefox addons I mean the addons site
[03:51] <ghostx562> ah gotcha!
[03:52] <ghostx562> sorry its too hot/humid here
[03:52] <viper474> Lac3rat3d: interesting question. I'm not sure. I mean, I guess you could: alias=sudo echo blah /dev/null && command
[03:53] <viper474> Lac3rat3d: everything in quotes after =
[03:53] <viper474> Lac3rat3d: but they could run the command that alias is pointing to without the password
[03:54] <viper474> Lac3rat3d: and run alias to list the defined aliases(sp?)
[03:54] <Lac3rat3d> viper474: i don't know what those commands do, but it may be of note that it's not just a straight up alias, it's an alias function. as in function sample() { program -args ; }
[03:54] <Lac3rat3d> * /path/to/program -args
[03:55] <Lac3rat3d> i see what you mean though about just doing: type aliasName
[03:55] <Lac3rat3d> seeing the path and args and running manually
[03:55] <Lac3rat3d> :(
[03:56] <viper474> Lac3rat3d: could probably just put it in a shell script
[03:56] <viper474> Lac3rat3d: set the attributes to be executable without read/write access?
[03:57] <Lac3rat3d> hmm yes that's a good idea
[03:57] <Lac3rat3d> but, i want to be able to type the alias from anywhere in the terminal
[03:57] <Lac3rat3d> is that possible without putting the shell script in /usr/bin
[03:58] <j83> hello all :)
[03:59] <j83> fresh install 14.04, with numix-cirlce icon's, question is how can i change the top unity icon as well?
[03:59] <j83> ty all
[03:59] <viper474> Lac3rat3d: I think you can put it in a custom path
[03:59] <lotuspsychje> morning to all
[03:59] <j83> gm
[03:59] <Lac3rat3d> viper474: i'm not sure what you mean by that, sorry still learning
[04:00] <viper474> Lac3rat3d: yeah, I'm researching because I don't do this often.
[04:00] <Lac3rat3d> viper474: no problem, i really appreciate the help
[04:00] <lotuspsychje> ive downloaded gpointing-device-settings to config left mouse button to scroll on a logitech trackball, but i cant get it to scroll any ideas?
[04:01] <Lac3rat3d> tried a bunch of googling, but it's hard to peice things together without much *nix knowledge

[04:08] <AshleyWaffle> how do I find out what graphics card I have on command line on ubuntu 14.04?
[04:08] <AshleyWaffle> I know it's ATI
[04:08] <AshleyWaffle> and not a radeon
[04:08] <AshleyWaffle> its one of the pro ones
[04:08] <lotuspsychje> AshleyWaffle: lshw -C video
[04:09] <lotuspsychje> AshleyWaffle: check also wich driver loaded after the driver=
[04:09] <AshleyWaffle> Firepro V4800
[04:09] <AshleyWaffle> what driver do I need that will let me run Minecraft at the highest fps?
[04:09] <AshleyWaffle> with ATI FirePro V4800
[04:09] <lotuspsychje> AshleyWaffle: what driver is loaded at the moment?
[04:10] <AshleyWaffle> driver=radeon
[04:10] <phix> Hey, the Additional locations in the Clock in Ubuntu 14.04 is broken.  Typing in London, Bristol, Denver or any other city name I can think of doesn't auto complete
[04:10] <lotuspsychje> AshleyWaffle: that should be fine
[04:10] <AshleyWaffle> lotuspsychje: okay, thanks.
[04:10] <lotuspsychje> AshleyWaffle: did you install 14.04 clean or upgrade?
[04:10] <phix> I can'
[04:10] <AshleyWaffle> lotuspsychje: clean.
[04:11] <AshleyWaffle> just tonight, heh
[04:11] <phix> I can't even type in UTC +1 or anything like that
[04:11] <AshleyWaffle> I have experience installing distros, so im pretty quick
[04:11] <phix> or PST or EST or any standard time zone
[04:11] <lotuspsychje> AshleyWaffle: so the driver installed by default, you should be good, you can doublecheck if your up to date sudo apt-get update, then update
[04:11] <AshleyWaffle> lotuspsychje: already did :P
[04:12] <lotuspsychje> AshleyWaffle: great :p
[04:12] <AshleyWaffle> lotuspsychje: although, is there a faster driver?
[04:12] <AshleyWaffle> for games?
[04:12] <lotuspsychje> AshleyWaffle: you use playonlinux for gaming?
[04:12] <AshleyWaffle> lotuspsychje: Minecraft uses Java
[04:12] <lotuspsychje> AshleyWaffle: you can always check software sources/last tab additional drivers to see the driver list
[04:12] <AshleyWaffle> thanks
[04:13] <lotuspsychje> AshleyWaffle: from there you can do a switch to test if you like
[04:13] <AshleyWaffle> lotuspsychje: will do I guess
[04:13] <phix> Any one know another City in PST, CST, EST, and London time zone area?
[04:13] <lotuspsychje> AshleyWaffle: but i think radeon driver will be best
[04:13] <AshleyWaffle> fglrx or fglrx-updates, lotuspsychje ?
[04:13] <lotuspsychje> AshleyWaffle: you can try and test for your system
[04:13] <lawnewbie> hi :v
[04:14] <AshleyWaffle> alrighty, thanks
[04:14] <AshleyWaffle> hi lawnewbie
[04:14] <lawnewbie> hi AshleyWaffle
[04:14] <phix> so any idea?
[04:14] <lotuspsychje> AshleyWaffle: i think there are testing suites available to stresstest your hardware like: phoronix test suite
[04:15] <AshleyWaffle> phix: are you all the way updated?
[04:15] <AshleyWaffle> lotuspsychje: minecraft has an fps counter :P
[04:15] <lotuspsychje> AshleyWaffle: ok :p
[04:15] <phix> AshleyWaffle: fresh install of 14.04 and apt-get dist-upgrade yesterday
[04:15] <phix> AshleyWaffle: so, yes
[04:16] <phix> ok weird, London just worked :|
[04:16] <lotuspsychje> phix: maybe unity-tweak-tool might help you out with clock settings?
[04:16] <phix> ok I will try that
[04:16] <lotuspsychje> !info unity-tweak-tool
[04:16] <phix> lotuspsychje: yup, installed
[04:18] <phix> lotuspsychje: ummmm can't see anything for clock or location settings
[04:18] <lotuspsychje> phix: hmm lemme check
[04:18] <jhutchins> god, it's the windows tool to tweak the registy reborn.
[04:19] <jhutchins> We're supposed to be better than that.
[04:19] <lotuspsychje> phix: launcher/panel are the clock settings
[04:19] <sh1457> #vlc
[04:20] <phix> lotuspsychje: yes but nothing about extra locations though
[04:20] <lotuspsychje> phix: no indeed
[04:20] <phix> lotuspsychje: The issue I am having is adding in extra locations in the clock settings.  It seems to not know what PST, colorado or denver  is
[04:21] <phix> lotuspsychje: I was having issues with London too, but that is working now
[04:21] <lotuspsychje> phix: not sure mate, this should be going by default..try a reboot maybe?
[04:21] <phix> lotuspsychje: I Am using ubuntu not Windows
[04:22] <lotuspsychje> phix: some settings might need a logout/reboot even on ubuntu
[04:23] <holstein> jhutchins: you think? the registry tweaking wasnt for issues with the UI, though.. usually.. also, there are more options than just the one
[04:24] <phix> lotuspsychje: ok seems like I need to type in Denver very fast or copy and paste it from another application (like gedit) for the auto complete to work
[04:24] <dyu> I just mounted postgres home(/var/lib/postgresql) with ecryptfs. After rebooting the machine, it is mounted for me automatically, but if I try to do any writes it tells me that it's a read-only filesystem. It's very weird coz mount shows it mounted as read/write. Here's some logs/output: http://pastebin.com/PsqkAv9Y
[04:24] <phix> lotuspsychje: Still, it is buggy
[04:26] <lotuspsychje> phix: maybe here: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/10/how-to-add-other-timezones-to-ubuntus-clock-applet

[05:21] <lotuspsychje> uncle_ben: did you try starting firefox from terminal? maybe show usefull error
[05:21] <ghostx562> uncle_ben: not seeing a image
[05:21] <lotuspsychje> ghostx562: its right ontop, url bar
[05:21] <ghostx562> got it
[05:22] <ghostx562> might be a theme addon you installed
[05:22] <lotuspsychje> uncle_ben: or a grafix driver issue
[05:22] <ghostx562> lotuspsychje: if you google, says most common problem is a theme or add-on
[05:23] <lotuspsychje> ghostx562: i never said you was wrong :p
[05:23] <uncle_ben> ghostx562: it's a cropped image
[05:23] <ghostx562> lotuspsychje: i know you didn't, im just saying before he starts messing with drivers, might just be an issue with the program itself
[05:24] <ghostx562> uncle_ben: i saw the image, try updating or disabling add-ons one by one to see which is the conflicting add-on
[05:24] <lotuspsychje> ghostx562: were are trying to help users from all different points, at the end a solution will come

[05:27] <uncle_ben> but this is a friend's computer and they like ff
[05:27] <lotuspsychje> uncle_ben: and you fully upgraded to firefox 29 right?
[05:27] <ghostx562> uncle_ben: check your settings on firefox
[05:27] <uncle_ben> yes, ff 29...fully updated system
[05:27] <ghostx562> Ryan___: how did you upgrade OS?
[05:27] <uncle_ben> ghostx562: which settings in particular?
[05:28] <Ryan___> software upgrade
[05:28] <ghostx562> uncle_ben: try disabling all add-ons on firefox then restart browser see if it fixes it
[05:28] <uncle_ben> ok
[05:29] <ghostx562> Ryan___: i know I personally had trouble in the past upgrading using software upgrade, for best results I would do a wipe and upgrade
[05:29] <Ryan___> i also loaded a version of 14.04 onto bootable USB, and ran that, same issue there too
[05:29] <gry> what issue?
[05:29] <uncle_ben> ghostx562: i disabled and restarted...problem is still there
[05:30] <ghostx562> Uncle_ben: any theme changes?
 graphical glitches all over the screen causing ubuntu to be inoperable
[05:31] <ghostx562> Ryan___: maybe driver issue?
[05:31] <gry> Ryan___, hi. Thanks. I'll send you a screenshot in a moment.
[05:31] <gry> Ryan___, http://www.lcvdata.kinghost.net/captured_2014_05_03.jpg - like this or not?
[05:31] <gry> Please also give your hardware details.
[05:31] <uncle_ben> ghostx562: yeah, i was tweaking a bit, but then changed back to default themes, so idk
[05:32] <Ryan___> worse than that
[05:32] <ghostx562> uncle_ben: maybe a theme is still active?
[05:32] <gry> I'm looking at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/998416 and nobody of the 3 people I asked gave hardware details. They'd be pretty useful.
[05:32] <uncle_ben> yeah, i think that's my next troubleshooting step...just change the themes and see which ones render correctly in ff
[05:33] <uncle_ben> keep in mind this is an old, crappy box with integrated intel...dimension 2400
[05:33] <ghostx562> it ok
[05:33] <ghostx562> have you tried starting firefox in safe mode?
[05:33] <uncle_ben> but everything else looks great...just this one issue
[05:33] <uncle_ben> no...how do i do that/
[05:34] <Ryan___> ASUS p5B deluxe, 4GB Ram, Q6600 chip (quad core), nvidia geforce GTX 650 Ti BOOST
[05:34] <ghostx562> uncle_ben: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode#Linux
[05:34] <uncle_ben> ghostx562: ok...trying that now
[05:34] <ghostx562> Uncle_ben: let me know what happens :D
[05:36] <ghostx562> firefox location should be in usr/lib/firefox
[05:36] <uncle_ben> ghostx562: safe mode didn't solve the problem either :(
[05:36] <uncle_ben> wtf
[05:36] <ghostx562> screen shot please
[05:36] <uncle_ben> actually it's /usr/bin/firefox
[05:37] <uncle_ben> there was a prompt and i clicked "start in safe mode" button
[05:37] <ghostx562> yes
[05:37] <ghostx562> and url bar still black?
[05:38] <wisescribe7> Does anyone in here know of a Zorin OS IRC channel?
[05:38] <uncle_ben> ghostx562: unfortunately, it's still black
[05:38] <uncle_ben> maddening
[05:38] <uncle_ben> you think it's really a theme issue?
[05:38] <uncle_ben> i'm using lubuntu
[05:38] <uncle_ben> lxde
[05:38] <ghostx562> maybe
[05:38] <ghostx562> what you can do is delete the firefox profile
[05:38] <ghostx562> see if that fixes it
[05:39] <uncle_ben> why not
[05:40] <ghostx562> uncle_ben: try running this in terminal: apt-get purge firefox && sudo apt-get install firefox
[05:40] <uncle_ben> ghostx562: how do i get to profile manager?
[05:40] <uncle_ben> let me try the profile thing first
[05:41] <thomedy> i followed the ubuntu help page and opened update manager... and confirmed that the new versions of ubuntu will be notified and after that i get no notification im trying to update to 14 from 13.1
[05:41] <thomedy> please help
[05:41] <ghostx562> uncle_ben: ok
[05:41] <thomedy> so i can get the newest lts and also so my vlc will work because im stuck in 2.08 and it isn't working
[05:42] <ghostx562> uncle_ben: this is how to get to the profiles http://askubuntu.com/questions/32527/how-to-delete-and-create-a-new-firefox-profile-from-tty1
[05:43] <ghostx562> thomedy: sudo apt-get upgrade not working?
[05:43] <thomedy> i have done that its not getting me to 14
[05:43] <thomedy> i checked the gear up top to make sure after
[05:44] <ghostx562> in the update manager does it give the option for os upgrades?
[05:46] <uncle_ben> ghostx562: i ran mv -v ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.backup and then started ff
[05:46] <uncle_ben> it didn't solve the problem
[05:46] <thomedy> i dont see one...
[05:46] <thomedy> im trying a new tutorial
[05:46] <ghostx562> uncle_ben: i think you need to delete the profile then open firefox
[05:47] <thomedy> i think i got it
[05:47] <thomedy> this other tutorial worked fine
[05:47] <ghostx562> awesome any other questions check back in here :D
[05:47] <thomedy> cool
[05:48] <thomedy> after i do this ill update everything software wise again
[05:48] <thomedy> and i should be top notch
[05:48] <ghostx562> great :)
[05:48] <uncle_ben> ghostx562: that command does "delete" the problem by way of renaming it...when i started ff i lost all the tabs i had open
[05:49] <thomedy> not the reason i came in here but i am relentless in my self
[05:49] <thomedy> i just opened  a store mens wear is on the way... this will be short but if your looking for good fashion  www.nicepiranha.com
[05:49] <ghostx562> uncle_ben: hmm weird
[05:49] <thomedy> im sorry thats the last time ill mention it
[05:49] <thomedy> its just the way i am
[05:49] <thomedy> i really did come in here for ubunut
[05:49] <thomedy> ubuntu
[05:49] <uncle_ben> ghostx562: i can't purge and reinstall ff because it's a dependency of lubuntu-desktop
[05:49] <ghostx562> thomedy: coincidence, i work for a place that has piranha in its name :D
[05:50] <thomedy> really
[05:50] <thomedy> is it piranha3d
[05:50] <ghostx562> no, Piranha Bay
[05:50] <thomedy> thats a movie and probably not it
[05:50] <thomedy> let me google piranha bay
[05:50] <ghostx562> uncle_ben: let me see what i can find
[05:50] <dgarstang> for the love of god, where can I download the Live CD?? I can't find it
[05:51] <ghostx562> dgarstang, its on the ubuntu main page
[05:51] <thomedy> you know there a re a couple listings of different varieties which one are you .... are you in california or the uk
[05:51] <thomedy> that might be weird
[05:51] <ghostx562> CA
[05:51] <thomedy> cool you work for piranha bay
[05:51] <dgarstang> ghostx562: Server? Desktop?  Ok
[05:54] <ghostx562> when you boot it will ask if you want to install or use as live cd
[05:54] <ghostx562> thomedy, silk screen printing
[05:54] <dgarstang> ghostx562: Well in that case, if I boot from The desktop/Live, the grub menu has no ooption for a 'boot from cd'. there's only install
[05:54] <thomedy> theres an error in the setting of new software channels... my first thought is i could easily remove all software i can find
[05:54] <dgarstang> ghostx562: live would imply it boots off cd and gives you a prompt./
[05:55] <thomedy> but it said taht it coudl be because i have unsanctioned software as an option
[05:55] <thomedy> any suggesstions other than remove everything
[05:55] <ghostx562> dgarstang: when you boot from the usb/cd it does give an option
[05:55] <dgarstang> ghostx562: Nope... I have 'install' and ... err, something else I cant remember. lemme see
[05:56] <ghostx562> thomedy, honestly just backup to an external and wipe for a clean install
[05:56] <thomedy> okay that is definately not something i am doing tonight
[05:56] <ghostx562> dgarstang: it should give you install and try option
[05:56] <thomedy> i dont need 14 that bad
[05:56] <ghostx562> maybe just let it delete.
[05:56] <thomedy> i just want it
[05:56] <ghostx562> it might be talking about the restricted extras?
[05:56] <dgarstang> ghostx562: I got it , thanks
[05:56] <ghostx562> dgarstang: no problemo
[05:58] <ghostx562> if you need me tag my name so i get the message, watching a movie
[06:00] <dyu> Asking again...I just mounted postgres home(/var/lib/postgresql) with ecryptfs. After rebooting the machine, it is mounted for me automatically, but if I try to do any writes it tells me that it's a read-only filesystem. It's very weird coz mount shows it mounted as read/write. Here's some logs/output: http://pastebin.com/PsqkAv9Y

[06:12] <uncle_ben> ok
[06:12] <ghostx562> go to firefox and remove all add-ons and extensions except the ubuntu necessary one
[06:13] <uncle_ben> ghostx562: i already tried disabling all of them...will removing them really make a difference?
[06:13] <ghostx562> i hope so
[06:14] <uncle_ben> are you getting this info from somewhere?  i'm googling right now searching for answers
[06:14] <ghostx562> or go to firefox
[06:14] <ghostx562> in the address bar type about:config
[06:14] <ghostx562> enter that setting page
[06:14] <uncle_ben> i'm there
[06:15] <Keanu73> by the way, what does LTS mean?
[06:15] <Keanu73> oh yeah
[06:15] <Keanu73> long term support
[06:16] <ghostx562> uncle_ben: then in the middle of the top bar, there should be an option that says status
[06:16] <ghostx562> click it until all the options on top say user set
[06:16] <AshleyWaffle> is there a firewall that runs by default on ubuntu desktop 14.04 and if so how do I turn it off
[06:17] <InFierno> I *think* iptables is on there by default?
[06:17] <ghostx562> AshleyWaffle: i don't believe there is
[06:17] <nick___> there are iptables and the simplified firewall (ubuntu)
[06:17] <InFierno> <--- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo
[06:17] <AshleyWaffle> how do I turn them off
[06:17] <uncle_ben> ghostx562: ok, what now?
[06:18] <ghostx562> looks for options that might have a color code of black
[06:18] <ghostx562> i think it might say #ffffff
[06:18] <ghostx562> or so what ever the html code for black is
[06:18] <InFierno> #fff also can work
[06:19] <uncle_ben> ghostx562: i don't see anything like that

[06:20] <Radon_3> oh it is 8 AM here
[06:20] <ghostx562> ok
[06:20] <ghostx562> uncle_ben: did you try this suggestion
[06:20] <ghostx562> https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/973996
[06:20] <ghostx562> the last one
[06:21] <Radon_3> ghostx562: talking to me? "The last one" ?
[06:21] <ghostx562> Radon_3: no sorry
[06:21] <Radon_3> alright
[06:21] <ghostx562> Radon_3: let me see if i can help you
[06:21] <Radon_3> hi dw1
[06:22] <Radon_3> ghostx562: I would be super gratful
[06:22] <Radon_3> thank you.
[06:23] <ghostx562> Radon_3: you try this http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-oracle-java-7-in-ubuntu-12-04.html
[06:24] <TehNubKilla> Is there a channel for Ubuntu touch?
[06:24] <llutz> !touch | TehNubKilla
[06:24] <uncle_ben> ghostx562: you mean deleting my profile?  i already tried that
[06:24] <ghostx562> uncle_ben: using those steps?
[06:25] <TehNubKilla> Thx
[06:25] <ghostx562> uncle_ben: have you gone into synaptic package manager and see if there is an option to repair firefox or remove it?
[06:26] <uncle_ben> ghostx562: i'm really doubting it's a corruption problem in firefox
[06:26] <Radon_3> ghostx562: greate link man, thank you, but is there someway that I could do this without a PPa, I don't know but i have mistrust issues about PPAs
[06:27] <ghostx562> uncle_ben: worst case back up and reinstall
[06:27] <ghostx562> Radon_3: let me double check on that
[06:28] <Radon_3> what's wrong with origianl sun java webpage? https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp ?
[06:29] <ghostx562> Radon_3: nothing, i just thought you would like to use terminal and getting a confirmed working way of installing java
[06:29] <ghostx562> what you can do is get the linux x64 from java site and follow the instructions provided to get it working?
[06:29] <maxh76> Hello
[06:29] <ghostx562> worst case use the PPA install method, then just remove the PPA?
[06:29] <webgen> hello comrades, how would I change the shortcut of switching desktop from control+alt+arrows to just control+arrows? and moving window from workspace to workspace with control + alt + arrows? thanks in advance!
[06:30] <ghostx562> Radon_3: it should leave java installed and working, just no updates im thinking
[06:30] <maxh76> Somewhere in the keyboard settings under "system settings"
[06:30] <maxh76> I believe.
[06:30] <Radon_3> sorry for the take off
[06:30] <Radon_3> anyone answered me while I was gone?
[06:30] <ghostx562> yeah
[06:31] <maxh76> I appear to not have a launcher or top-bar anymore.. Upgraded to ubuntu 12.10 and some stuff broke and I think I accidentally removed quite a few necessary packages.
[06:31] <ghostx562> Radon_3: download the x64 java from the java site, and try using the instructions provided to install it? i thought you would like the PPA approach as it has a detailed how to
[06:31] <geowany> sudo apt-get install java-package
[06:32] <power-inside> guys I'm trying to install google webdesigner deb using dpkg, but I get dpkg-split: error: error reading google-webdesigner_current_amd64.deb: Input/output error

[06:32] <hanasaki> I have built a custom kernel for a kvm based linux guest.  I works fine with the rt and e1000 nic emulation however does not find the NIC when using paravirt.  what needs to go in the kernel to get it to recognize a paravirt network card in qemu-kvm?
[06:32] <geowany> download the tarball, create and install deb packages with java from oracle
[06:32] <Radon_3> geowany: that won't install openjdk?
[06:33] <maxh76> ghostx562: terminal works, I just don't know what packages to isntall or anything like that..
[06:33] <ghostx562> maxh76: sudo apt-get upgrade? it should install missing packages
[06:34] <uncle_ben> ghostx562: i just forced a reinstall, but that didn't do anything either
[06:34] <geowany> Radon_3: the package can be created by make-jpkg command, after install java-package
[06:34] <maxh76> 'sudo apt-get install unity' that worked, I think. It seems like it's installing the same deleted packages.
[06:35] <maxh76> How to I update from 12.10 to 13.10 I keep getting errors, and I'm not sure what to do about them.
[06:35] <ghostx562> maxh76: what errors?
[06:35] <ghostx562> uncle_ben: you might be SOL
[06:36] <uncle_ben> nah...just need to hit the forums...but thanks for your help
[06:36] <Beldar> maxh76, 13.10 is eol, you would be best backing up and installing 14.04 fresh in my opinion.
[06:36] <maxh76> ghostx562: 'Error: Marking the upgrade (E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.)' I do not see any held packages.
[06:36] <geowany> Radon_3: Don't need openjdk.
[06:36] <llutz> Beldar: 13.10 has couple of weeks support left, its not EOL yet
[06:37] <maxh76> I don't know if I have the space to back up anywhere, or the time do to that.
[06:37] <maxh76> 13.10 runs out in july I believe, maybe june.
[06:37] <Beldar> llutz, Ah, thanks.
[06:38] <Radon_3> geowany: so correct me please if I am wrong: to install java jre from oracle in ubuntu I will have to run these commands:
[06:38] <ghostx562> maxh76: try this in terminal sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[06:38] <ghostx562> then check for update again
[06:38] <Radon_3> sudo apt-get install java-package
[06:38] <Radon_3> then
[06:38] <ghostx562> also seems like you have broken packages maxh76
[06:38] <Radon_3> sudo make-jpkg
[06:38] <Radon_3> am I right?
[06:39] <geowany> make-jpkg <jre downloaded from oracle>
[06:40] <geowany> a deb file will be created, so u'll use dpkg to install it.
[06:40] <Radon_3> ok, so there are two packages available,Linux x64 RPM * and Linux x64* which one should I download?
[06:41] <geowany> Linux x64*
[06:41] <geowany> Don't use RPM.
[06:41] <llutz> Radon_3: the tar-file
[06:42] <Radon_3> ok, I am downloading it
[06:42] <Radon_3> one more question
[06:42] <django> anyone know where i can find mvoie links
[06:42] <Radon_3> I have downloaded a .run file from nvidia website which is the driver to my grapchics card for linux, would this command install it correctly in ubuntu:
[06:43] <Radon_3> sh ./nvidi-linux-x86_64-331.67.run
[06:43] <geowany> $ chmod + <Nvidia file.run>
[06:43] <llutz> Radon_3: why don't you use the drivers from repos?
[06:44] <ghostx562> django: ?? mvoie?
[06:44] <Radon_3> oh, by the way I have tried installing all the drivers provided by the repository and I always endup getting a black screen with a blinking cursor
[06:44] <geowany> I found problems with kubuntu 14.04 'cause it's use nouveau drivers
[06:45] <Radon_3> geowany: instead of 'sh' just 'chmod + ' right? like this: "chmod ./nvidi-linux-x86_64-331.67.run"?
[06:45] <geowany> So I tried to install kubuntu 12.04 and upgrade to 14.04
[06:46] <Radon_3> geowany: or it should be "chmod + ./nvidi-linux-x86_64-331.67.run"? with a plus sign?
[06:46] <geowany> $ chmod +x nvidi-linux-x86_64-331.67.run
[06:47] <geowany> to give permission for run
[06:47] <geowany> after, run with "$ sudo ./nvidia-linux-blablabla.run"
[06:49] <geowany> I had to do this, but after I killed graphical mode with a "$ sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop" on tty (Ctrl + alt + F1(or F2-F6))
[06:53] <helmut_> hi
[06:53] <Gallomimia> still having difficulty installing onto a raid5. do i need to put /boot on a separate partition which is not involved in the raid??
[06:55] <alfonsojon> geowany: An easier way is to boot into a GUI-free mode (recovery mode) and just run it as root
[06:55] <alfonsojon> No problems there
[06:56] <laigualdad> when installing a bunch of games, i seem to have filled up my root directory... i cant figure out what caused it. https://lut.im/kuii0SdX/Q2EOyfi9
[06:57] <geowany> alfonsojon: you're right
[06:58] <alfonsojon> geowany: But if the way you did it works too, great.
[06:58] <alfonsojon> That's just safer :P
[06:58] <Seveas> laigualdad: sudo du -shc /* should tell you where most space is. I'm betting on /usr/share and/or /usr/games
[06:59] <somedudeandstuff> Is there currently a way to have a looped video be your wallpaper in 14.04?
[06:59] <somedudeandstuff> tried a-desk etc (old old instructions) didn't work
[06:59] <geowany> alfonsojon: the time I used slackware affected my mind

[06:59] <laigualdad> 13M	/etc
[07:00] <alfonsojon> geowany: slackware doesn't have some sort of root console-only mode?
[07:01] <geowany> alfonsojon: yes
[07:01] <laigualdad> oh, it took a moment ta load, but there was actually a lot more. one sec.
[07:01] <Seveas> laigualdad: use a pastebin
[07:01] <laigualdad> ok
[07:01] <webgen> hello comrades, how would I change the shortcut of switching desktop from control+alt+arrows to just control+arrows? and moving window from workspace to workspace with control + alt + arrows? thanks in advance!
[07:01] <geowany> but I don't like to do startx and I have been changed runlevel
[07:02] <Seveas> webgen: ccsm (compizconfig-settings-manager) allows you to endlessly tweak keyboard shortcuts
[07:03] <webgen> Seveas, thanks !
[07:03] <alfonsojon_> If it can be tweaked, CCSM has it.
[07:04] <laigualdad> i cant seem to scroll up in the terminal for some reason (even though i set the scroll to unlimited) so i'll just highlight that i see /usr takes up 9.2G and /var takes up 3.4G
[07:05] <jellow> laigualdad , are you on a remote host ? btwyou can use | less to scoll up and down output
[07:07] <lnx> I am using ubuntu 12.10 is ther any good way to setup  a work around to escape the sudo thing ......... everytime I go to creat a directory copile and program or  somthing  I run inito access denied I am used to creating a root acount and rebooting into it to do all my programing and this sudo thing is really getting anoying  I realize that it is a very good  security feature and is has its advantages  but ????????? do I have too relearn prog
[07:07] <lnx> raming techniques or am just stupid or somthing or should  I get another os
[07:09] <bazhang> lnx, sudo -i for a root shell
[07:09] <laigualdad> not on a remote host, im not familiar with the command. hm, but i think i can piece the output together. yes, that works, got it: http://pastebin.com/QMHCeabq
[07:10] <lnx> should I do sudo for eery shell that I chang to  for dif tasks
[07:10] <bazhang> lnx, sudo -i the once
[07:11] <lnx> ok I will do that thanks
[07:11] <laigualdad> i suppose if i moved usr and var to separate partitions, this would help?
[07:11] <llutz> lnx: if you think to need root-rights for everything you do, you should re-think your workflow first
[07:11] <Seveas> laigualdad: as I suspected, /usr is getting quite big - games can be quite big and install into the root partition, you should have made it larger :(
[07:12] <laigualdad> annoying that it does!
[07:12] <Seveas> laigualdad: /usr shouldn't be on a separate partition, /var can but that doesn't help much. I'd just use one big partition and not separate /home
[07:12] <laigualdad> ok, so if i want the games, i need to extend my / ?
[07:13] <Seveas> laigualdad: indeed. There may be some easy wins like doing sudo apt-get clean
[07:13] <Seveas> but that'll be a few 100 mb at best
[07:13] <laigualdad> tried that xD
[07:13] <laigualdad> yeah
[07:13] <laigualdad> thanks! why should i not keep /home separate?
[07:14] <Seveas> laigualdad: why should you?
[07:14] <django> can someone please help me..i have a lpatop with nvidia and intel graphics card
[07:14] <django> it gets hot with ubuntu
[07:14] <django> what do I do?
[07:14] <InFierno> Seveas, it is possibly mroe secure if you do
[07:15] <Seveas> InFierno: nope.
[07:15] <InFierno> but that said any hacker who puts enough time and effort in will break in
[07:15] <larrypg> laigualdad, it does make upgrades easier
[07:16] <Seveas> larrypg: nonsense
[07:16] <InFierno> Side note on ubuntu is t possible to configure shorewall as a first firewal (permanent blocklist) to then goto iptables + fail2ban (temp) blocklist
[07:16] <laigualdad> i see
[07:16] <Seveas> InFierno: shorewall and fail2ban are both "just" frontends to iptables, so yes, that can be done.
[07:17] <larrypg> Seveas, would have to disagree but thats ok
[07:17] <InFierno> I figured - how fiddly would it be?
[07:17] <InFierno> Seveas, I can only guess he means if he wants to upgrade userdrive separate from OS drive (like in my case I use a 64gb ssd for boot drive, and an HDD for userdrives)
[07:17] <Seveas> though if you only want permanent blocklists, why use shorewall. iptables -A INPUT -s ip.to.block -j DROP is enough
[07:17] <InFierno> fail2ban clears permanent blocklists on restart
[07:17] <InFierno> IIRC
[07:18] <Seveas> InFierno: if you use separate drives, that's a different thing. But not separate partitions on one drive. (and if the drives are the same, so not ssd and hdd, I'd use LVM to turn them into one big blob)
[07:18] <laigualdad> well i had to jog my memory but one thing is it allows for a reinstall without losing my personal files and settings
[07:18] <InFierno> ^^ this is trie
[07:18] <Seveas> InFierno: fail2ban maintains its own chain in the filter table and adds a pointer to it from the INPUT chain. not too fiddly.
[07:19] <InFierno> I spent 4hrs yesterday chasing down an "issue" that is just a lovely feature of hyperV
[07:19] <Seveas> laigualdad: with reinstalls it helps, but I've rarely doen one of those. Last one was in '05 or '06 :)
[07:19] <Seveas> InFierno: oh, you mean where iptables rules don't work under hyperv? :)
[07:19] <InFierno> Ubuntu detects hyper-v with integraton as having a max-link speed of 100mbit - on a 10gbit port
[07:20] <InFierno> but actually connects at 10gbit lol
[07:20] <Seveas> nifty
[07:20] <laigualdad> i see :)
[07:21] <InFierno> Ill probably come poke you when I get new server up -> you got any recommendations for freebie ubuntu web controlpanels (i could do vhosts etc manually, but for 100+ domains its far easier to use a control panel for the vhosts)
[07:21] <Seveas> and for new machines, I just install Ubuntu and rsync -av old-box:/home/dennis/ /home/dennis/ :)
[07:21] <laigualdad> okay, thanks for that!
[07:21] <Seveas> InFierno: I hate control panels. Learn puppet.
[07:22] <Seveas> InFierno: that said, http://thenubbyadmin.com/2014/04/22/definitive-list-of-web-based-server-control-panels/
[07:22] <laigualdad> ciao
[07:23] <InFierno> I basically just need something that can do the dns and vhosts - because large numbers of those are fooking boring
[07:24] <Seveas> InFierno: that's where puppet comes in, create one template, make N vhosts and zonefiles.
[07:24] <InFierno> How much does puppet cost?
[07:25] <InFierno> (ive not heard of it )
[07:25] <icetooth> $21.92
[07:25] <bazhang> !info puppet
[07:26] <Seveas> InFierno: $0,000000000000000000
[07:26] <InFierno> I like that price
[07:27] <InFierno> server 2k12 is so crazy expensive
[07:27] <InFierno> I mean $3k for an OS u upgrade every 4 years
[07:27] <InFierno> Wtf are they smoking -.-
[07:27] <anshulk> How can I remove a schema from gsettings ?
[07:28] <InFierno> Sorry $6k
[07:28] <Lucax> hello there, my computer has been used to enter unsafe sites using wine without protection, what is the best way to check the state of my system?
[07:28] <anshulk> I installed mate and now my background depends on a mate schema, not the default org.gnome.... one . Help please.
[07:28] <Seveas> !mate
[07:29] <Seveas> hmm
[07:29] <anshulk> Seveas, I've removed mate but the schemas are still there
[07:29] <Seveas> anshulk: yeah, I thought ubottu knew something about that, but apparently not.
[07:30] <anshulk> Seveas, Ya, saw that.
[07:31] <junka> !mate-desktop
[07:31] <anshulk> Also when I choose change desktop background from right click menu, nothing happens.
[07:31] <bazhang> what about removing mate-themes anshulk
[07:31] <bazhang> junka  :  Please /msg ubottu
[07:32] <anshulk> bazhang, ok, let me try that, thanks.
[07:33] <anshulk> removing everything mate.
[07:36] <cuyotte> So I've just switched to Linux from Mac and Windows and I'm learning as I go. What are some good games available for linux? I'm open to all different types.
[07:36] <anshulk> Well... not yet solved. I don't need to reboot right.
[07:37] <bazhang> !games | cuyotte
[07:37] <InFierno> @cuyotte try steam - i tink they have a some stuff via steamplay
[07:37] <bazhang> !steam | cuyotte
[07:37] <bazhang> anshulk, to get a new DE? you'd need to logout
[07:38] <cuyotte> ubottu, sounds great. thanks for the info.
[07:38] <anshulk> How is it decided that which key from gsettings decides background ? maybe I can remap that.
[07:38] <InFierno> !ubottu
[07:40] <bazhang> anshulk, in gnome-tweak-tool  or unity-tweak-tool I'd imagine you can set that
[07:40] <anshulk> also, what happens after right clicking and choosing "Change desktop background" must have a setting.
[07:40] <anshulk> I mean which app will run, how can I remap that ?
[07:46] <anshulk> bazhang, nopes, nothing like that,
[07:51] <nadav> Whats a good program to manage ssh connectinos to servers?
[07:52] <BHvortex> what do you want to manage?
[07:52] <nadav> something like PuTTY but for linux
[07:53] <BHvortex> you want a gui client?
[07:53] <nadav> yeah
[07:54] <anshulk> How can I remove a configuration from dconf ?
[07:54] <_PlayMCPENetwork> How do you enable core php functions?
[07:54] <llutz> !putty|nadav if you don't want to use openssh-client

[08:16] <Kartagis> hi
[08:16] <rimal> I have seperate / and /home partition  i want to upgrade to ubuntu 13.10 using installation cd . Will there any problem?
[08:17] <cfhowlett> rimal should be straight forward but ... 13.10 will go end of life in a couple of months.  why you no 14.04?
[08:17] <rimal> afta 13.10 i will goto 14.04
[08:18] <rimal> or can i straight upgrade to 14.04?
[08:18] <cfhowlett> rimal from 12.04?  yes.
[08:18] <rimal> no 13.04
[08:19] <larrypg> rimal, if you want to keep your settings then choose something else and then do not format /home
[08:19] <cfhowlett> !eolupgrade|rimal   this works but it's LOADS easier to torrent 14.04 and clean install
[08:20] <ewooy> Hey, I'm on 14.04 and /sbin/init is taking a lot of CPU time, this is first time I see this. Can I kill this process? http://sc-cdn.scaleengine.net/i/095dfdf272cea5b9da0fea9fbe2eb70e.png
[08:21] <SunilJoshi> ewooy: No, this is the main process
[08:22] <rimal> larrypg, someone said to me that it will show an upgrade option while booting the installation media. Will that upgrade or a fresh install?
[08:22] <ewooy> SunilJoshi, why I'm noticing this just now?
[08:24] <larrypg> rimal, to be honest I am not positive as I always have used it to do a fresh install and I don't remember if that option is there
[08:29] <rimal> larrypg, okay. if i go with fresh installation and something else option and leaving /home partition unformatted will retain all of my files in home directory.
[08:29] <rimal> right?
[08:29] <larrypg> rimal, yes
[08:29] <SunilJoshi> rimal: yes
[08:30] <SunilJoshi> rimal: you have 2 confirmations now :P
[08:30] <rimal> :-)
[08:30] <SunilJoshi> rimal: i tried this out, few days back, so i answered it
[08:30] <rimal> larrypg, SunilJoshi : so i will lose all of my installed packages :-(
[08:31] <SunilJoshi> rimal: When i tried, yes I lost all installed packages
[08:31] <larrypg> rimal, that is true as far as I know as the / partition will be formated
[08:32] <cfhowlett> rimal the / partition will indeed be formatted as larrypg describes.
[08:32] <b1n4ry> hello, I want to create some sort of virual cluster where I want my host os (ubuntu) to act as the server and 2-3 guests as client nodes. What is the best way to achieve this?
[08:32] <rimal> cfhowlett, yes
[08:33] <cfhowlett> !server|b1n4ry might want to ask server channel
[08:34] <rimal> cfhowlett, have you ever tried upgrading using installation medium?
[08:35] <cfhowlett> rimal only once.  I don't remember the details but it must have been sub-optimal as I've only done fresh installs since.  FWIW I also install only lts, so my advice might not be overly useful to you.
[08:35] <rimal> cfhowlett, okay..
[08:37] <rimal> cfhowlett, i tried to upgrade using update-manager but it required about 1.8 GB to be downloaded. I have limited bandwidth. Can i do that on multiple sessions?
[08:38] <cfhowlett> rimal inadvisable!  once that upgrade starts you want it to complete and release your apt-lock!  Suggest you torrent the ISO instead. then you can use the ISO as upgrade source or do a clean install.
[08:38] <SunilJoshi> rimal: yes you can do that n multiple sessions, while the packages are getting downloaded you can discontinue and next time it will resume from there..
[08:39] <SunilJoshi> But i agree with cfhowlett too!!
[08:40] <rimal> cfhowlett, SunilJoshi , larrypg , ubottu : Thanks Every one ....:)
[08:40] <cfhowlett> rimal best of luck to you.
[08:42] <rimal> cfhowlett, Thanks a lot.

[08:51] <cfhowlett> Newbienewb hmm.  OK, wrong factoid
[08:52] <junka> i have multiple media player under the volume icon, how do i remove some of them?
[08:52] <Newbienewb> ubottu: Unfortunately the PSU on the laptop appears to have become faulty
[08:53] <Boyec> Hallo! How to configure default keyboard layouts & key to switch? I know that file with this conf is '~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/%gconf.xml'. Where is the template for it?
[08:53] <Newbienewb> I've connected the HDD via a SATAtoUSB adapter to a laptop which I have Ubuntu running on from a Live USB. However it's saying I don't have permission to access the files. Any advice?
[08:53] <Ascavasaion> Newbienewb: Then you need to put that harddisk into another machine, or into an external hard disk casing for laptop harddisks.
[08:54] <cfhowlett> Newbienewb actually, that makes sense.  go sudo and change the properties and you should be able to access
[08:54] <Ascavasaion> Newbienewb: Yes, what cfhowlett says.
[08:55] <Newbienewb> cfhowlett: Could you please provide an example command? Never managed permissions before under Ubuntu.
[08:55] <junka> i have multiple media player under the volume icon, how do i remove some of them?
[08:55] <cfhowlett> !permissions
[08:56] <larrypg> Newbienewb, you mentioned that "had Ubuntu installed"  what os are you going to use to recover the files?
[08:56] <Newbienewb> larrypg: I'm running UBuntu 14.04 from a live USB on an alternate laptop
[08:57] <larrypg> Newbienewb, ok - just checking

[10:00] <zxy_64> hi, im having problems doing do-release-upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04. I get the following :  https://paste.lugons.org/show/49GliICAdudMtYsVg9ea/  Is there a way to see what is bothering the script, some logs perhaps
[10:01] <cfhowlett> zxy_64 release-upgrade won't work until point release.  do-release-upgrade -d     (development) is the correct command - I think.
[10:02] <cristian_c> Hi
[10:02] <MonkeyDust> zxy_64  what cfhowlett says, but it takes about 2 hours and you have to stay present to confirm some changes -- i tried it
[10:02] <zxy_64> cfhowlett, with -d i get the same
[10:03] <cristian_c> I've to delete all the files on my mp3 player
[10:03] <MonkeyDust> zxy_64  try disabling the backports, first
[10:03] <cfhowlett> zxy_64 sorry, then.  don't know what to do with that
[10:03] <cristian_c> It remains one file, yet
[10:03] <cristian_c> but I don't know how to delete it
[10:03] <cfhowlett> cristian_c sudo rm filename
[10:03] <mm_> libreoffice seems not fine with .doc files
[10:04] <mm_> many indenting is not correct
[10:04] <mm_> many lines be their correct place
[10:04] <mm_> is it something Ican fix in libre office
[10:05] <MonkeyDust> mm_  true, it's not 100% compatible, similar issues with presentations
[10:05] <mm_> MonkeyDust: so what shall be done?
[10:05] <cfhowlett> mm_ imported documents often have errors.  fix line by line in writer and save it
[10:05] <MonkeyDust> mm_  i have windows in vbox, for ms office alone
[10:05] <zxy_64> MonkeyDust, the same with backports disabled
[10:06] <mm_> soi shall install vbox for windows?
[10:06] <MonkeyDust> zxy_64  then I don't know
[10:06] <zxy_64> is there a log to see what bothers the upgrade script
[10:08] <mm_> hfff
[10:08] <MonkeyDust> mm_  it's an ugly workaround and i don't like it myself, but i need it, ms office is the standard
[10:08] <cristian_c> cfhowlett, ah, ok
[10:08] <cfhowlett> MonkeyDust indeed.
[10:08] <mm_> Isee
[10:08] <mm_> so the first step toinstallvbox
[10:08] <mm_> anyideaabout goodonesand how to do this
[10:08] <cfhowlett> !vbox|mm_
[10:09] <DestinyAwaits> There is no player that can play a mp4 file without freezing the whole OS and restarting it ????

[10:10] <MonkeyDust> mm_  think positive: i am now much more experienced with vbox shortcuts et al, handy tool
[10:10] <cfhowlett> DestinyAwaits I play mp4 all the time
[10:10] <doge_wow> How can I swtich to another desktop using the command line?

[10:11] <inti> hello, i am courious ... i had a ubuntu 12.04 intalled with windows ... wich i cant upgrade to have its one MBR-entry ... now i have ubuntu 14 on usb ... with that i can now make an installation over ubuntu 12 an have a stand-alone?
[10:12] <DestinyAwaits> nah I downloaded smplayer, banshee, totem all stuck and the file it plays first stuck a lot of frames since beginning and then it freezes and finally self restart the audio doesn't match the frames at all
[10:12] <cfhowlett> inti the windows install (wubi) is not supported on 14.04.
[10:12] <cristian_c> cfhowlett, rm: unable to remove "Raga3icon.fil": File or directory not found
[10:12] <cfhowlett> DestinyAwaits sounds like a limited ram error
[10:12] <linuxlite1991> Hi all, using linux lite, I am trying to add a user to the mythtv group but it tells me my password is wrong, which in itself is wrong. This has been solved for me on another computer once before. It has something to do with using su instead of sudo  (or something like that), can someone help please. I can't seem to get anywhere
[10:12] <cfhowlett> cristian_c that is NOT a music file.
[10:12] <cfhowlett> linuxlite1991 sorry but LL is not supported here
[10:13] <DestinyAwaits> cfhowlett: its 2 GB of RAM..
[10:13] <Ben64> DestinyAwaits: without more information, we can't really help
[10:13] <mm_> !##3
[10:13] <cristian_c> cfhowlett, how can I remove it?
[10:13] <DestinyAwaits> Ben64: what more I can provide.. Please suggest
[10:13] <mm_> virtualbox contain office by default?
[10:13] <DestinyAwaits> I will try to follow the instructions
[10:14] <cfhowlett> DestinyAwaits pretty much low end of the capability.  suggest you install lxde or xfce4.  logout, choose a different windows manager and login.
[10:14] <cfhowlett> mm_ of course not.
[10:14] <DestinyAwaits> its not happening with every mp4 file but this one
[10:14] <Ben64> DestinyAwaits: then it sounds like a problem with that one file
[10:14] <linuxlite1991> should still be relevant , based on 12.04
[10:14] <wrongplace> whats is it called the system checke any OS does when booting?
[10:14] <mm_> so after installing it. I need to launch windows
[10:14] <mm_> and figure a way to install it.
[10:14] <cfhowlett> DestinyAwaits ah, I BET that's a HD file.  won't play - don't play
[10:14] <Ben64> linuxlite1991: sorry, but no. only official ubuntu is supported here
[10:14] <DestinyAwaits> maybe the problem can be its a 1 GB file and others are just in MB's
[10:15] <Ben64> DestinyAwaits: unlikely. what is the file? can you upload the first 10MB somewhere?
[10:15] <cfhowlett> DestinyAwaits a 1 gig file and you have only 2 gigs ram total.  thank about that
[10:15] <Sceptic> Hello. I receive "Waiting for network configuration" during system start.
[10:15] <DestinyAwaits> Is there a potplayer for ubuntu.. Potplayer never disappointed me
[10:15] <Ben64> cfhowlett: i can play files larger than my entire memory supply, that is irrelevant
[10:16] <Ben64> DestinyAwaits: pastebin the output of "mplayer -identify <file>"
[10:16] <cfhowlett> Ben64 huh.  okay.
[10:16] <DestinyAwaits> cfhowlett: Ben64 well potplayer plays it without a problem and I cant find it for ubuntu
[10:16] <DestinyAwaits> ok
[10:16] <cfhowlett> !info potplayer
[10:16] <Ben64> DestinyAwaits: well mplayer is the best video player i've ever encountered
[10:17] <mm_> How  to get windows image?
[10:18] <mm_> for the virtual box
[10:18] <cfhowlett> mm_ from microsoft
[10:18] <cristian_c> Any other ideas?
[10:18] <mm_> that is free?
[10:18] <cfhowlett> cristian_c I suspect that file is firmware and should NOT be deleted
[10:18] <DestinyAwaits> Ben64: ah with that identify command it played without much of freezing but the frames and audio are still out of sync
[10:19] <cfhowlett> mm_ hahaha!  of course not!  it's the microsoft OS!
[10:19] <mm_> I want free copy
[10:19] <Ben64> DestinyAwaits: then probably a problem with the file, or your computer isn't beefy enough to play it with those settings
[10:19] <cfhowlett> mm_ obviously, we can't help you with that.
[10:19] <cristian_c> cfhowlett, how can I replace with a folder backuped?
[10:19] <cristian_c> *stored in my pc
[10:20] <DestinyAwaits> Ben64: can I paste the output here of that command??
[10:20] <cristian_c> cfhowlett, I must restore the previous mp3 player content
[10:20] <Ben64> DestinyAwaits: pastebin
[10:20] <cristian_c> I've saved it into a directory
[10:20] <cfhowlett> cristian_c mount the mp3 player, format it to (whatever it should be) and do the restoration
[10:20] <DestinyAwaits> ok
[10:20] <Ben64> !pastebin | DestinyAwaits
[10:20] <cristian_c> cfhowlett, I've tried, but it doesn't work
[10:20] <cristian_c> cfhowlett, I've saved it in a folder on my pc
[10:21] <cfhowlett> cristian_c "doesn't work" ....
[10:21] <cristian_c> I'd like to transfer it to my mp3 player
[10:21] <cristian_c> cfhowlett, these two files are restored (with .trash fiolder)
[10:21] <cristian_c> *folder
[10:21] <Sceptic> I've problem with wi-fi  (ethernet works OK). I've got network icon for wi-fi in tray, and hovering text about limited or lack of connection.
[10:22] <cfhowlett> cristian_c delete the .trash folder!
[10:22] <cristian_c> but I'd like to replace the content with my folder
[10:22] <cristian_c> cfhowlett, yeah, I've done it
[10:22] <cristian_c> cfhowlett, but I can't remove the last file
[10:22] <cfhowlett> cristian_c and you can't restore either?
[10:22] <zhpeng> my GF is mad at me ... i'm really tired of my relationship..
[10:23] <cristian_c> I'd like to get a working format
[10:23] <cfhowlett> zhpeng wrong channel
[10:23] <mm_> zhpeng: we dont care
[10:23] <DestinyAwaits> Here is the Mplayer command output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7391914/
[10:23] <cristian_c> cfhowlett, first, I've to delete the previous content, then I can paste my restore folder
[10:23] <zhpeng> good u guys makes me better..
[10:23] <cristian_c> (the backup folder)
[10:23] <mm_> I only care to find windows imagefor virtual box
[10:24] <cristian_c> *transfer
[10:24] <mm_> or I will be mad.
[10:24] <cfhowlett> mm_ NO ONE is going to GIVE you windows.  Go buy it.
[10:24] <mm_> what
[10:24] <mm_> buy it'
[10:24] <cfhowlett> mm_ ask in ##windows
[10:24] <mm_> reallly
[10:24] <Ben64> DestinyAwaits: yep. see where it says your system is too slow to play it? your system is too slow to play it.
[10:24] <Ben64> mm_: yes. stop asking
[10:24] <zhpeng> windows image... u mean an ISO?
[10:25] <zhpeng> win7?
[10:25] <zhpeng> mm_, @ u
[10:25] <cfhowlett> mm_ zhpeng no pirated warez!!!!
[10:25] <junka> illegal activity ops!!!
[10:25] <mm_> yes
[10:25] <Ben64> zhpeng: don't post a link, unless you want to violate channel and network rules
[10:25] <mm_> message it.
[10:25] <junka> go prive plz
[10:25] <cfhowlett> mm zhpeng good way to get banned
[10:25] <Ben64> get this out of this channel
[10:25] <DestinyAwaits> Ben64: then no problem with the file and I am able to play this same file on windows 7 same system using Daum PotPlayer
[10:25] <zhpeng> ... got it...
[10:25] <DestinyAwaits> without a single issue
[10:26] <Ben64> DestinyAwaits: at a lower quality sure
[10:26] <mm_> zhpeng: I privated you
[10:26] <DestinyAwaits> Ben64: Never noticed that.. Is the same thing problem with ubuntu
[10:26] <DestinyAwaits> ??
[10:26] <junka> what is? so i was afk
[10:26] <Ben64> DestinyAwaits: not sure what you mean
[10:27] <cfhowlett> DestinyAwaits *** Your system it too SLOW to play this! ***   as it clearly stated
[10:27] <Ben64> h264 with software decoding takes a lot of cpu. cpu you seem to not have
[10:27] <DestinyAwaits> Ben64: You said  "at a lower quality sure " is the same thing possible with ubuntu OS.. I don't see Daum Player for Ubuntu
[10:27] <Ben64> yes. it shows you how to do it in the message you posted
[10:28] <DestinyAwaits> cfhowlett: yep but the same file works without a problem on Windows Daum Potplayer
[10:28] <cfhowlett> DestinyAwaits so play in windows.  done.
[10:28] <DestinyAwaits> Ben64: Its quite cryptic can you paste the command you think that can work?? Pls. Thx
[10:29] <Ben64> dude. read the error message it gave you
[10:29] <junka> what player do u use DestinyAwaits
[10:29] <cfhowlett> DestinyAwaits liine 80 onwards of the error message
[10:29] <cristian_c> Any other ideas?
[10:29] <DestinyAwaits> cfhowlett: hmmm.. That partition got corrupted last week so I guess have to reinstall it that is the reason I was looking for a workaround
[10:29] <DestinyAwaits> junka: Daum PotPlayer for windows
[10:30] <DestinyAwaits> ok
[10:30] <junka> on ubuntu?
[10:30] <bekks> DestinyAwaits: So use it. In Windows.
[10:30] <DestinyAwaits> bekks: Its broken.  Now I can't log on to the graphical session (I'm on a terminal). This is 13.10. Can anybody help me diagnose and fix the problem?
[10:31] <Gouou> hey guys i'm trying to install ubuntu minimal on lenovo thinkpad ..and i cant get ubuntu to detect wireless so i can download packages :/
[10:31] <junka> DestinyAwaits, try gnome-mplayer
[10:31] <junka> or parole
[10:31] <Gouou> yesteday i installed ubuntu on emachines laptop..and it worked nicely
[10:32] <Gouou> is it somehow possible to help ubuntu detect wireless adapter while installing ubuntu?
[10:32] <cfhowlett> Gouou get a hardwire connection fix wifi afterwards
[10:32] <Gouou> i dont have a lan cable..
[10:32] <kandinski> when I say "I can-'t log in", I mean that I see the password promt, It starts to show me the desktop, but kicks me out to the login manager again.
[10:32] <Gouou> funch: :) no freaking lan cable at home..its weekend ..and i need computer fixed for tomorrow morning :D
[10:32] <organicanarchy> Gouou, download the drivers on a machine thats connected and load them into your laptop?
[10:33] <Gouou> organicanarchy: but ubuntu isnt installed yet
[10:33] <organicanarchy> then download the drivers for your card, put it on a thumbdrive and load it after installation
[10:33] <junka> install it. get your wifi working. update
[10:34] <junka> ah he uses ubuntu minimal
[10:34] <DestinyAwaits> junka: Ok. I will try them as well.. YOu think they can make it work??
[10:35] <junka> DestinyAwaits, i cant say. It worths a try
[10:35] <DestinyAwaits> junka: ok downloaded parole
[10:35] <DestinyAwaits> let see
[10:36] <DestinyAwaits> there is a shortcut to close the programs when the system freeze?? what is that
[10:36] <DestinyAwaits> ??
[10:37] <Ben64> what cpu do you have?
[10:37] <DestinyAwaits> Ben64: Me??
[10:37] <Ben64> yes
[10:37] <bekks> DestinyAwaits: There is no such shortcut. You can use xkill to kill unresponsive X applications.
[10:38] <junka> a prompt to kill it should appear
[10:43] <kandinski> I'm using 13.10. I rebooted because unity was misbehaving. I can't log onto X now (though the system still works, I'm on IRC from a tty). "I can't log in", I mean that I see the password promt, It starts to show me the desktop, but kicks me out to the login manager again.
[10:43] <kandinski> Can anybody help me diagnose and fix the problem?
[10:43] <gry> check logs, dmesg probably
[10:44] <bekks> and check free space, as well as the ownership of ~./Xauthority
[10:46] <kandinski> yes, I had managed to make ~/.Xauthority a root:root file
[10:46] <kandinski> thanks, gry and bekks
[10:47] <Ben64> kandinski: be careful with your usage of sudo
[10:47] <bekks> kandinski: That happened because you used sudo on a graphical program.
[10:47] <Ben64> don't sudo graphical programs
[10:47] <bekks> kandinski: Usegksu oder gksudo instead, for graphical applications.
[10:48] <rek> where's the ubuntu chat channel?
[10:48] <cfhowlett> !ot|rek
[10:49] <rek> lol
[10:59] <Kuroshita> hey guys, update-notifier is popping up every time on boot and obviously just saying "Your system is up to date" can I do something so it only pops up if there are updates?
[11:00] <chris112> hi, i get frequent system crash reports. how can i print all files that differ compared to a clean new ubuntu install?
[11:01] <bekks> chris112: How will diff'ing systems help you at that point?
[11:01] <bekks> chris112: What are the details of the system crash reports?
[11:02] <cfhowlett> chris112 https://www.dropbox.com/s/9qk1l0c7x2v1ns8/Backup%20and%20restore%20Ubuntu.pdf
[11:06] <junka> Kuroshita, Go Settings<Software&Update<Updates tab and check your preferences
[11:07] <kandinski> Ben64 and bekks: thanks for the gksudo tip too. I was reading what the .Xauthority file does
[11:16] <sdsdf> Hi could anyone help me with this ? askubuntu.com/questions/459654/ubuntu-14-04-drivers-for-broadcom-bcm43142 ? I am desparately stuck with this for the past 1 week. Please ?
[11:17] <abdu> i think to  day is my day
[11:25] <Ashael> hello. Looking for help troubleshooting a wireless connection problem. Running Trusty.
[11:25] <bekks> Ashael: Then state your actual issue please.
[11:27] <Ashael> bekks: manage to connect to wireless, but no data passing through. I suspect it may some kind of an identificaion problem. Had issues before with certificates and passwords, but haven't managed to solve this one.
[11:29] <Sceptic_> Hello. How can I change GUI from Unity to LXDE for another account on this computer?
[11:29] <Sceptic_> (I've got lxde and lxde-desktop installed)
[11:29] <cfhowlett> Sceptic logout.  choose lxde/lubuntu session.  login
[11:31] <Ashael> help with faulty wireless connection? connection successful but no data :(
[11:40] <FoSi> hi all, can someone please clarify if i install ubuntu-desktop task on a ubuntu 14.04 server will the network-manager works or it will be incompatible?
[11:41] <cfhowlett> FoSi it won't be incompatible but there's nothing in the gui that you can't configure in the server via CLI
[11:42] <FoSi> i have two apps that the system admin needs to use often and also the firefox
[11:42] <FoSi> i really need a stable desktop env
[11:43] <FoSi> but yes.. no argues on that cli does the job just great
[11:43] <cfhowlett> FoSi you can install desktop and add the server packages ...
[11:43] <trijntje> FoSi: do you need a desktop or a server? Running desktop apps on a server is a bad idea
[11:44] <FoSi> trijntje: thats not really an issue! most of servers run desktops and you now that :)
[11:44] <FoSi> cfhowlett: hm.. like tasksel ... ubuntu server something like that?
[11:45] <trijntje> FoSi: most servers run desktops? Thats not true at all. You can run a desktop on a server if you want, but that is generally considered a bad idea for security reasons
[11:45] <cfhowlett> FoSi  I believe so.  also, check the #ubuntu-server channel
[11:47] <user____1> quit
[11:47] <FoSi> trijntje: i know all that.. but look at windows server and redhat.. and some more
[11:47] <FoSi> there are tasks that need gui
[11:48] <FoSi> custom apps and webapps, etc
[11:48] <bekks> FoSi: redhat kickstart doesnt need a gui, neither Widnows Core has a GUI.
[11:48] <FoSi> i dont say its a bad idea to have a server only with cli! im saying there are need for all things
[11:49] <cfhowlett> FoSi I think we can agree to that.  question is how best in your case.
[11:49] <FoSi> yeah.. but i dont see very often kickstart beeing used and core also
[11:49] <limbo_> My display server seems to have frozen. everything except for the mouse cursor. Clicking still works, but nothing on the screen is being updated. any suggestions?
[11:49] <bekks> FoSi: Then you have not much to do with server business.
[11:49] <FoSi> but thats in my universe experience
[11:50] <FoSi> bekks: be nice to people... im only saying that in this case i need a gui
[11:50] <bekks> FoSi: I am nice. If you take a fact that personal, I cant change it.
[11:51] <FoSi> and in my experience... windows server and redhat is used with a gui.. im not saying its bad or good
[11:51] <bekks> FoSi: Can we move on to Ubuntu support issues then?
[11:51] <FoSi> i trully know that having a server its better without all the junk
[11:53] <FoSi> i ill try cfhowlett idea on installing server task under the desktop version.. or install a bare ubuntu gui with the no-recommends
[11:53] <bekks> Doesnt your admin have his/her own desktop PC? :)
[11:54] <FoSi> yes
[11:54] <bekks> Then you dont need any gui on your server.
[11:54] <limbo_> restarting Xorg brought it back, but it's super slow on the desktop now. Anyone kneo what I'm talking about?
[11:56] <FoSi> that would be great if the apps worked on his desktop.. well they work under rdp
[11:56] <bekks> On linux, you dont have a RDP server ;)
[11:57] <FoSi> lol
[11:57] <bekks> Thats no joke.
[11:58] <Gamex> hello
[11:59] <lblume> bekks: xrdp?
[11:59] <bekks> lblume: thats a mess, but not a reasonably sane application :)
[11:59] <cfhowlett> Gamex ask your ubuntu questions
[12:00] <bekks> lblume: It's even worse than plain vnc, not tunneled through ssh. :)
[12:00] <lblume> bekks: Okay, I was just going to ask that, I wanted to give it a try to compare to VNC :-)
[12:01] <bekks> lblume: I'd just use nxclient/nxserver from nomachine.
[12:01] <FoSi> vino vnc isnt working as expected on 14.04
[12:02] <FoSi> at least for me
[12:02] <bekks> Then use a sane vnc server, not that vino crap. :)
[12:03] <FoSi> dont need it.. but vino could do the job for some situations
[12:04] <bekks> It requires a desktop - which is unwanted on a server. Everything you need can be achieved through ssh -X and a X server on the client.
[12:04] <lblume> bekks: Mostly so far I tend to run a regular VNC server when I need it and start what's needed inside.
[12:04] <ansic> I get black screen after I wake up my notebook and login, I'm using xubuntu 14.04,dell inspiron 1121
[12:04] <bekks> lblume: Yeah.
[12:04] <abdu> i am happy today
[12:04] <cfhowlett> abdu ask your ubuntu question
[12:05] <sombot_> hello, I'm missing the ldconfig on ubuntu 12.04. Could anyone suggest where I can get it and where to put it on my system?
[12:05] <ansic> first time to use irc, curious :)
[12:07] <EmsY> hey guys.
[12:07] <WolfLambert> Hi EmsY
[12:07] <EmsY> Anyone installed Lazarus (free pascal) on ubuntu?
[12:07] <WolfLambert> Not me, I'm sorry
[12:08] <lotuspsychje> i downloaded gpointing-device-settings to enable scroll un left mouse button on a logitech trackball, but cant get it working
[12:08] <manel> hi
[12:08] <manel> :D
[12:08] <WolfLambert> lotuspsychje: does the program launch?
[12:08] <WolfLambert> Or is it just not applying the setting?
[12:08] <WolfLambert> Hi manel
[12:09] <EmsY> Maybe you know how to help me WolfLambert? I have an error " Dependency is not satisfiable: fpc (>=2.6.4)|fp-compiler (.=2.6.4)
[12:09] <lotuspsychje> WolfLambert: it doesnt want to config the scroll
[12:10] <lotuspsychje> WolfLambert: the trackball tab show on gpointing devices, but when i enable vertical scroll it doesnt do nothing
[12:11] <WolfLambert> lotuspsychje: searched it on DuckDuckGo. There seem to be a few users who either don't get anything to change, or be able to change it but it reverts back to the standard when rebooting.
[12:11] <WolfLambert> I can't find a solution
[12:12] <lotuspsychje> WolfLambert: tnx anyway
[12:13] <crocket> ubuntu displays kanji in a wrong font as in http://imagebin.org/308945
[12:14] <llutz> EmsY: did you try to install lazarus from repos or 3rd-party package?
[12:14] <crocket> What should I do?
[12:14] <EmsY> llutz: I think I found a solution?
[12:14] <EmsY> that wasn't a question :D
[12:14] <Ben64> crocket: not seeing anything wrong
[12:14] <cfhowlett> crocket exactly ^^^
[12:15] <crocket> Ben64, http://imagebin.org/308945
[12:15] <sombot_> Where can I get the ldconfig file for ubuntu 12.04
[12:15] <cfhowlett> crocket looks like kanji to me ...
[12:15] <crocket> The kanji character at the top left corner has to look like the one at the bottom right corner.
[12:15] <EmsY> I downloaded only one package llutz
[12:16] <crocket> But, it has additional stroke.
[12:16] <Ben64> not really, just a different style
[12:16] <llutz> EmsY: why dn't you use the repo-version?
[12:16] <J84y5u> hi! do i need to download a specific .iso for the full disk encryption options or do i get that on all of them?
[12:16] <EmsY> llutz: the repo version?
[12:17] <llutz> EmsY: sudo apt-get install lazarus
[12:17] <cfhowlett> crocket look at a different kanji site.  if the error is there, maybe it's a font issue.  if not, it's your kanji practice app
[12:17] <EmsY> llutz: lol thanks :D
[12:18] <EmsY> llutz: Do you know pascal then?
[12:18] <crocket> cfhowlett, It is jisho.org
[12:18] <cfhowlett> crocket ??? check multiple sources ...
[12:18] <llutz> EmsY: i never really used it
[12:18] <Ben64> crocket: its just different styles... if you're trying to learn kanji you should already know this
[12:19] <J84y5u> hi! do i need to download a specific .iso for the full disk encryption options or do i get that on all of them?
[12:19] <cfhowlett> crocket OH!  ben64 is right!
[12:19] <EmsY> llutz: but have you learned pascal?
[12:19] <Ben64> cfhowlett: of course i am :)
[12:19] <cfhowlett> J84y5u all ISO's can do full disk encrypt - except perhaps mini
[12:20] <J84y5u> cfhowlett: finally... thank you
[12:20] <llutz> EmsY: not more than a " hello world", ages ago
[12:20] <EmsY> I'm studying pascal first year. Can someone help me to write a program about numeral systems?
[12:20] <h3r1> i have a problem installing remastersys. it says: The following packages have unmet dependencies:  remastersys-gui : Depends: plymouth-x11 but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[12:20] <bekks> EmsY: you might better ask a pascal programming channel.
[12:20] <EmsY> llutz: lol. I hate pascal but we have to study it here, in Latvia
[12:21] <llutz> EmsY: it's still used to learn programming? odd...
[12:21] <h3r1> does anybody know how to fix this?
[12:21] <Slart> EmsY: I'm pretty sure there is a ##pascal or #pascal or #programming channel
[12:21] <cfhowlett> EmsY this isn't pascal programming channel.  Suggest you search elsehwere for tutuorial
[12:21] <EmsY> slart: ok, thanks
[12:21] <yogy> hello i need some info  im pretty new to ubuntu linux  how secure is it  ? and in linux do need a antivirus  ?  im comming from windows  since im getting sick of getting the blue screen of death lol
[12:21] <EmsY> okok chill
[12:21] <cfhowlett> !virus|yogy
[12:22] <EmsY> llutz: I'm shocked aswell. I went to study for a programmer, I didn't know that first year we'll learn only pascal and second year Delphi...
[12:22] <Ben64> yogy: security depends on what you do. you still need to follow certain practices to be the safest
[12:22] <cfhowlett> yogy avoid 411 scams and pron sites will solve most issues
[12:23] <llutz> EmsY: well, it has no real practical relevance but still is a good way to learn structured programming i'd guess
[12:23] <EmsY> llutz: it's difficult..
[12:23] <EmsY> comparing to other languages.
[12:23] <yogy> ill just be using ubuntu alone  as a only os on one pc     just using for basicly sending and receiving emails  and  music and videos ( youtube )  & skype  for all that it shauld be pretty secure hey ??

[12:24] <rimdeker> Hello guys, is it possible for me to install an older kernel in Ubuntu 14.04? AMD has no stable drivers for my GPU for the 3.13 kernel, yet
[12:24] <Ben64> yogy: you might want to avoid getting a java plugin for your web browser, thats a big security risk on any os
[12:25] <rimdeker> h3r1: Try sudo apt-get install plymouth-x11 before installing remastersys-gui
[12:25] <cfhowlett> !remastersys|h3r1

[12:26] <rimdeker> bekks: heh
[12:27] <CasW> Hey guys, I'm having some problem with my sound card. It had a terrible white noise, but I managed to fix that using HDA_Analyzer (as suggested by this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/705633). The problem is, though, that I have to do that every time I boot, is there some way to do it automatically? What fixes the white noise is muting Val[2] and Val[3] in Node[0x0c] AUD_MIX
[12:27] <h3r1> cfhowlett, what does that mean? it is still the best system recovery tool i know under linux
[12:27] <lawnewbie> bekks,rimdeker: i want to pratice online, can u suggest me the web ? :3
[12:27] <rimdeker> lawnewbie: What field/subject?
[12:27] <cfhowlett> h3r1 no longer maintained
[12:27] <bekks> lawnewbie: Do you have a ubuntu support question?
[12:28] <cfhowlett> lawnewbie you seem to to be lost - your personal tutor is not in this channel.  Please restrict yourself to ubuntu questions.
[12:28] <dekatch> hey guys. i am happy :). i successfully installed thr ubuntu 11 live cd to my hd. upgraded to 12.04 for now
[12:28] <h3r1> yes, i know, but it still works... i just want to install it... or do you mean it cannot be downloaded anymore?
[12:29] <dekatch> i am on a amd 5350 kabini with radeon r3 apu
[12:29] <h3r1> cfhowlet yes, i know, but it still works... i just want to install it... or do you mean it cannot be downloaded anymore?
[12:29] <dekatch> i am so glad. its working
[12:29] <h3r1> rimdeker, do you have an advice?
[12:29] <lawnewbie> maybe im in wrong channel . . .
[12:30] <cfhowlett> h3r1 so long as you don't expect it to function properly, install away ...
[12:30] <h3r1> what tool would you recomend
[12:30] <cfhowlett> !backup| h3r1
[12:31] <rimdeker> h3r1: Get the dependencies and compile from source is an option, I guess
[12:32] <h3r1> rimdeker i am not that experienced with linux... how would i do that?
[12:32] <dekatch> ubuntu installed fglrx drivers for me. now i have this underscan/overscan issue. i need to adjust the overscan setting. could you tell me where to look at? its an radeon r3 apu. checked the settings/display but there is no such option. and i dont have a amd/ccc installed. any hint?
[12:34] <trijntje> h3r1: don't bother compiling stuf yourself when there are alterantives. What exactly do you want to do anyway?
[12:34] <rimdeker> h3r1: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Plymouth/ , there should be instructions on the webpage or the source folder
[12:35] <h3r1> ubottu thanx for the links... which one of all is the easiest and has a function most similar to the dist-iso on remastersys?
[12:35] <krizoek_> is there a terminal emulator with command history?
[12:35] <bekks> krizoek_: Every shell has a history.
[12:36] <rimdeker> How can I install an older kernel in Ubuntu 14.04 without compiling my own?
[12:36] <h3r1> trijntje i want to install remastersys, but it wont let me because there are dependencies missing and so on...  i get this message: The following packages have unmet dependencies:  plymouth-x11 : Depends: libplymouth2 (= 0.8.2-2ubuntu30) but 0.8.2-2ubuntu31.1 is to be installed                 Depends: plymouth (= 0.8.2-2ubuntu30) but 0.8.2-2ubuntu31.1 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[12:36] <bekks> rimdeker: you cant.
[12:36] <rimdeker> bekks: That hurt.
[12:36] <krizoek_> is there a terminal emulator with command history dialogue for quick access?
[12:37] <trijntje> h3r1: no, you dont want to install remastersys. What is the end goal you want to achieve with remastersys?
[12:37] <dekatch> how can i overscan my scren resolution? have an amd 5350 kabini radeon r3 apu
[12:37] <trijntje> krizoek_: ctrl + r
[12:38] <h3r1> trijntje i have been using it to backup my system... i create dist-iso images of my system
[12:38] <bekks> h3r1: remastersys is no backup tool.
[12:39] <h3r1> bekks, i jcreate an istaller iso for the case that i have to reinstall everything abck again...
[12:39] <trijntje> h3r1: you can use dd or clonezilla to create iso images of your system. However, that wastes a lot of space, why don't you just make a backup of all files and folders in your personal folder?
[12:40] <trijntje> that way you just reinstall ubuntu, and copy your files over from the backup
[12:40] <bekks> h3r1: Which doesnt make remastersys being a backup tool. It is a live cd remastering tool.
[12:40] <plavi_zmaj> hello
[12:40] <plavi_zmaj> what's up people?
[12:40] <h3r1> trijntje i don't use it to backup my files, i just create an iso image of the currently installed operating-system
[12:41] <junka> !ot | plavi_zmaj
[12:41] <h3r1> bekks well that's just semantics... i would like to install it to remaster my system
[12:42] <trijntje> h3r1: I know that, you can use dd or clonezilla for that if you really want
[12:42] <cfhowlett_> h3r1 http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/
[12:42] <trijntje> I just think its a weird way to make a backup of essentially just your files, since you can always install ubuntu again
[12:42] <bekks> h3r1: I guess you just want backups.
[12:43] <cfhowlett_> h3r1 note: note supported post-precise
[12:43] <h3r1> trijntje thx are they similar to remastersys? as i realized before, i am searching for a remastering tool and not for a backup tool
[12:44] <trijntje> h3r1: no, dd and clonezilla can be used to create a backup of your system that you can restore. They do not generate an installable image with all your files on it
[12:44] <dukeraj> hi
[12:44] <dukeraj> anyone can help me
[12:45] <cfhowlett_> !ask|dukeraj
[12:45] <dukeraj> I was trying to install ubuntu 14 desktop - 32 bit, then there is some error while installing it
[12:45] <bekks> dukeraj: Which error?
[12:46] <nadav> whats a better ssh management tool than putty?
[12:46] <dukeraj> i think the iso file is corrupted because i tried in virtual machine, similar error, i am not sure, the installation closed
[12:46] <bekks> dukeraj: Without a specific error, all these are just assumptions.
[12:46] <trijntje> dukeraj: hold the shift key during boot and select 'check cd for defects'
[12:47] <cfhowlett_> !md5sum| dukeraj verify the ISO then verify the bootable USB/CD
[12:47] <llutz> nadav: openssh-client + an editor of your choice to setup ~/.ssh/config
[12:48] <dukeraj> when i try to install ubuntu again, i could find ubuntu is already installed along with my windows xp, i am really confused, when i restart it boot into windows xp
[12:48] <dekatch> oh wait. i fixed the overscan issue myself. i actually had amdccc installed. it just doesnt display an icon in taskbar
[12:48] <h3r1> does anybody know how to fix the following? The following packages have unmet dependencies:  plymouth-x11 : Depends: libplymouth2 (= 0.8.2-2ubuntu30) but 0.8.2-2ubuntu31.1 is to be installed                 Depends: plymouth (= 0.8.2-2ubuntu30) but 0.8.2-2ubuntu31.1 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[12:49] <trijntje> dukeraj: that means the installation failed late in the process, when most files were already written to the harddisk. Check the cd for defects and try installing again if there are no errors
[12:49] <dukeraj> i use usb stick
[12:49] <bekks> h3r1: Yo have been told multiple times on how to fix it.  Just play the game in fullscreen mode if you want fullscreen mode
[12:56] <dekatch> dukeraj,  redownload would be my guess :)
[12:56] <cfhowlett_> dukeraj delete those bad iso.  torrent the iso from ubuntu
[12:57] <slikts_> trijntje: yes it is you stupid noob
[12:57] <trijntje> !language | slikts_
[12:57] <slikts_> trijntje: you have no clue what you're talking about
[12:57] <cfhowlett_> slikts_ no insults, no names and check the attitutde
[12:57] <dukeraj> ubuntu 14 desktop 32 bit,  i download from alternative download from official site, is there any other download source?
[12:58] <cfhowlett_> dukeraj notice: TORRENT.  not download
[12:58] <slikts_> trijntje: http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Glossary:Borderless_fullscreen_windowed
[12:58] <dukeraj> yea torrent
[12:58] <dukeraj> i download as torrent
[12:59] <cfhowlett_> dukeraj and then you verify/md5sum the ISO.
[12:59] <dekatch> dukeraj, xyou have no other choice than to redownload
[12:59] <dukeraj> i think i want to go for mint now....since ubuntu giving prob
[12:59] <cfhowlett_> dukeraj your choice.
[12:59] <trijntje> slikts_: all windows keep the top and left bar visible, and in the latest ubuntu none of the windows have borders.
[12:59] <ronaldsmazitis> hello everyone I have been using ubuntu for 2 years and last week ubuntu got problems with not opening skype at all
[12:59] <bekks> dukeraj: hopefully your mint iso download will not be corrupted. :>
[13:00] <ronaldsmazitis> also qt applications fail on copy/paste keys
[13:00] <slikts_> trijntje: it actually works… sometimes, but now it suddenly stopped working
[13:00] <dekatch> bekks, he probably goes windows then :=
[13:00] <slikts_> trijntje: and non-maximized windows have borders
[13:00] <bekks> dekatch: Hopefully.
[13:01] <ronaldsmazitis> can somebody help find a problem
[13:01] <slikts_> trijntje: also things like video players or browsers in fullscreen also aren't proper fullscreen
[13:01] <ronaldsmazitis> skype works on virtual machine
[13:01] <ronaldsmazitis> where I run it on xubuntu
[13:01] <dekatch> but btw. linux mint. installed the latest version yesterday. v16. wasnt able to install fglrx..
[13:01] <slikts_> trijntje: but are in front anyway
[13:01] <trijntje> slikts_: I dont know what that page is about, but it says that what you are trying to do is buggy, messy, and no longer supported
[13:01] <ronaldsmazitis> anybody can read
[13:01] <dekatch> there were non available on mint.
[13:01] <basiclaser> hey guys how come latest ubuntu is not picking up devices? I see that bluez is installed, i also installed blueman packages. Nothing seems to spot my headphones
[13:01] <ronaldsmazitis> what I just wrote
[13:01] <ronaldsmazitis> ?
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> ronaldsmazitis: its in the partner repo, or grab the deb from skype website
[13:01] <slikts_> trijntje: no, you have NO CLUE what you're talking about. try pressing F11 in a browser, it's supposed to be in front too, so this behavior from unity is BUGGED
[13:02] <ronaldsmazitis> ActionParsnip I have it installed
[13:02] <ronaldsmazitis> it doesn't work suddenly
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> ronaldsmazitis: ok are you using Unity shell?
[13:02] <ronaldsmazitis> just as qt apps fial to start
[13:02] <ronaldsmazitis> etc
[13:02] <trijntje> slikts_: f11 works for me, and I'm bored of being insulted by you. Good luck figuring out whats wrong
[13:02] <bekks> slikts_: Nope. F11 is fullscreen, not "fullscreen and modal on top of everything else".
[13:02] <ronaldsmazitis> qt creator designer doesn't starts at all
[13:02] <dukeraj> which ubuntu desktop 32bit is best ?
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> basiclaser: if you run: sudo iwlist scan ,do you detect the headphones?
[13:03] <ronaldsmazitis> I'm on ubuntu unity
[13:03] <bekks> dukeraj: The one that you like the most.
[13:03] <cfhowlett_> dukeraj matter of opinion
[13:03] <ronaldsmazitis> 12.04 LTS
[13:03] <dukeraj> i am new
[13:03] <slikts_> bekks: but that ALSO doesn't work for me, browser in F11 and videos are under the unity crap
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> ronaldsmazitis: if you run it from terminal. Do you get any useful output?
[13:03] <ronaldsmazitis> Aborted.
[13:03] <dukeraj> i think i will go for version 12.04
[13:03] <ronaldsmazitis> I reinstalled it several times
[13:03] <bekks> dukeraj: Just use 14.04
[13:03] <basiclaser> ActionParsnip: nah nothing intelligable
[13:03] <dekatch> dukeraj, 12.04 here works fine for me :)
[13:03] <ronaldsmazitis> deleted configurations, and etc
[13:03] <ronaldsmazitis> nothing helps
[13:03] <cuyotte> Why not 14.04?
[13:04] <dekatch> with amd 5350 kabini + radeon r3 apu
[13:04] <dukeraj> how about backtrack linux, did u guys use that ?
[13:04] <dekatch> this hardware was releaed april/2014
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> basiclaser: then i'd start by checking bluetooth works with other devices to verify its working ok
[13:04] <dekatch> last month
[13:04] <cfhowlett_> dukeraj not supported here.
[13:04] <dekatch> mp3, video, 3d accel. amdccc all is working
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> dukeraj: that is supported in #backtrack-linux
[13:04] <slikts_> bekks, trijntje: the point is that there are more kinds of fullscreen than just the typical exclusive fullscreen
[13:04] <cfhowlett_> dukeraj if you really want to learn linux choose a distro and stick with it!
[13:04] <dukeraj> ok
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> cuyotte: Precise is rock solid and mature :-)
[13:05] <basiclaser> ActionParsnip: and if one has no other such devices?
[13:05] <ronaldsmazitis> KDE apps get segmentation fault
[13:05] <slikts_> typically game fullscreen is exclusive, and borderless windowed is fullscreen as well, just not exclusive
[13:05] <ronaldsmazitis> WHY
[13:05] <slikts_> and browser f11 and video fullscreen isn't exclusive either
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> basiclaser: not got a mobile phone with bluetooth?
[13:05] <dekatch> how it comes anyway that ubuntu 12.04 upgraded from ubunutu 11livecd supports all that stuff but linuxmint v16 doesnt?
[13:05] <ronaldsmazitis> I haven't installed nothing, as this Ubuntu 12.04 was working for long time
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> ronaldsmazitis: so when youbrun skype in terminal it just says 'aborted'?
[13:06] <dukeraj> ok what do i do after i got new .iso , what do i do with the corrupted installed ubuntu 14, its there?
[13:06] <slikts> it's just a yet another instance in an endless stream of unity bugs
[13:06] <ronaldsmazitis> ActionParsnip, YES, you ask questions without any usable answers
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> dekatch: its a different distro so will behave differntly
[13:06] <cfhowlett_> dukeraj if it's corrupted DELETE
[13:06] <anonymous> HI
[13:06] <ogramobile> slikrs, so file a bug if you think there is one
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> ronaldsmazitis: i cant see your system and you havent told us much so i need to ask questions about the system dont i?
[13:07] <slikts> ogramobile: there obviously is one, but I have no idea how to replicate it
[13:07] <dekatch> ActionParsnip, yea. but afaik mint is based on ubuntu
[13:07] <ronaldsmazitis> K3B, qt designer, qt creator all GET segmentation fault.
[13:07] <dekatch> so
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> ronaldsmazitis: i have no idea what you have tried or anything, do I
[13:07] <ronaldsmazitis> ActionParsnip, I told everything
[13:07] <slikts> ogramobile: and I'll bet that it's been known since a long time ago
[13:07] <cfhowlett_> !md5sum|dukeraj as far as an installed OS, verify 1. the ISO you downloaded and 2. the BOOT USB/CD.  then install.
[13:07] <dekatch> the very basics should work
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> ronaldsmazitis: then i need more info or i wouldnt be asking, would In
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> ronaldsmazitis: why the attitude?
[13:08] <slikts> ogramobile: I was right — it's been known about for years
[13:08] <ronaldsmazitis> ActionParsnip, I have i5 INTEL, hd 3000, ubuntu 12.04 LTS, running unity
[13:08] <ronaldsmazitis> what would you do if you would loose connection with other people
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> dekatch: depends on the distro. Some hardware wont run in Windows but run in Linux. This is also basics.
[13:09] <ronaldsmazitis> + couldn't BURN dvdS OR design QT apps
[13:09] <dekatch> ywell. but i am happy that it installed everything flawlessly.
[13:09] <ogramobile> slikts, whats the bug number on launchpad ?
[13:10] <ronaldsmazitis> I haven't installed nothing when these problems appeared
[13:10] <dukeraj> torrent is so slow
[13:10] <ronaldsmazitis> I don't want to reinstall everything as my files are value
[13:10] <slikts> ogramobile: didn't find it in launchpad yet, just random forum threads
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> ronaldsmazitis: do you have backup?
[13:10] <dekatch> ActionParsnip, can i change some of the UI default behavior?
[13:10] <dukeraj> 1/2 kB/s
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> dekatch: from what to what?
[13:10] <dekatch> i want to miminize application windows with a double click on titlebar
[13:11] <ronaldsmazitis> ActionParsnip, I have no idea where my 500 gb
[13:11] <dekatch> and also i want to minimize applications when i click the icon again in appbar
[13:11] <ronaldsmazitis> are used by ubuntu
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> dekatch: that is a compiz setting if you use compiz
[13:11] <ronaldsmazitis> my backup would be 100 gb
[13:11] <ogramobile> sliktss, hiw can it be "known for years" if developers didnt get notified about it on the bugtracker ?
[13:11] <ronaldsmazitis> which is alot
[13:11] <dekatch> ActionParsnip, is that a package i can install?
[13:12] <ronaldsmazitis> no help on skype
[13:12] <ronaldsmazitis> still
[13:12] <ronaldsmazitis> do I have to call microsoft
[13:12] <slikts> ogramobile: it's probably in launchpad, I just haven't found it yet
[13:12] <ronaldsmazitis> on this one
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> ronaldsmazitis: but have you got a backup copy of your 'important' data on a removable drive, like a USB storage or clioud storage?
[13:12] <basiclaser> ActionParsnip: yeh ok i guess its not working then. It says bluetooth is on, and searching for devices, but does not detect my visible phone or headphones
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> dekatch: unity-tweak i believe, or compizconfig-settings-manager
[13:12] <ronaldsmazitis> ActionParsnip, WHY you give such questions , I don't want to reinstall or something, my system was perfect
[13:13] <ronaldsmazitis> license ended or something, or what
[13:13] <ronaldsmazitis> ?
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> ronaldsmazitis: its a simple question, you say your data is important
[13:13] <ronaldsmazitis> whatever, why qt apps crash
[13:13] <dekatch> well. compiz is installed
[13:13] <me-1> hi currently I am using 12.4 lts how do I upgrade to 14.4 lts..?
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> ronaldsmazitis: try: sudo apt-get --purge remove skype*; sudo apt-get --purge aurltoremove
[13:14] <ronaldsmazitis> KDE crash handler closed unexpectedly
[13:14] <slikts> me-1: apt-get dist-upgrade and pray ^___^
[13:14] <Munster> hello
[13:14] <ronaldsmazitis> I tried to save the report for my error report
[13:14] <Krishnamurti> hello
[13:14] <ronaldsmazitis> inception of errors
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> me-1: sudo do-release-upgrade -d ,should do it. You will be automatically offered it in June when 14.04.1 is released
[13:15] <me-1> slikts,  ActionParsnip  do i need to upgrade and update before that
[13:15] <ronaldsmazitis> E: Invalid operation aurltoremove
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> ronaldsmazitis: once skype is fully out, delete the skype config folder in $HOME or $HOME/.config
[13:15] <ronaldsmazitis> I did that
[13:15] <ronaldsmazitis> like 5 times
[13:15] <Munster> !pm > Krishnamurti
[13:16] <ronaldsmazitis> I am no noob to ubuntu, cause I know where those configs are stored, I have no idea why KDE apps and skype keeps crashing
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> me-1: no its no needed, you can even upgrade by booting to the 14.04 install CD
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> ronaldsmazitis: after completely removing skype and deps?
[13:16] <ronaldsmazitis> nothing helps
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> ronaldsmazitis: how did you install skype?
[13:17] <ronaldsmazitis> 2 years ago
[13:17] <ronaldsmazitis> package
[13:17] <me-1> ActionParsnip,  what about the apps I have already installed
[13:17] <ronaldsmazitis> why on earth it would stop working
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> ronaldsmazitis: yes its _always_ in a package. Is it from the Ubuntu repos or from the skype website?
[13:17] <ronaldsmazitis> one that was working
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> Me-1: those will be updated
[13:18] <ronaldsmazitis> for long time
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> ronaldsmazitis: if you can answer that you wil fix all software questions ever
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> ronaldsmazitis: how did you install skype?
[13:18] <ronaldsmazitis> debian package on skype.com
[13:18] <dekatch> wow thanks ActionParsnip . that compizconfig tool offers alot. have to figure somezhing out now :) thanks brb
[13:19] <ronaldsmazitis> WHY THAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN ANY CHANCE I INSTALL IT IT DOESn't work by now
[13:19] <ronaldsmazitis> ++ qt designer, creator + k3b
[13:19] <ronaldsmazitis> and most kde apps
[13:19] <ronaldsmazitis> suddenly errors
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> ronaldsmazitis: ok then try using the version from the Ubuntu repos. Its in the partner repo. You will need to run: sudo apt-get clean ,so that old debs are not used
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> ronaldsmazitis: because there are two ways to install it, so trying the other way is intelligent, yes?
[13:20] <ronaldsmazitis> http://pastebin.com/PWmK4jzZ
[13:20] <Krishnamurti> ronaldsmazitis,why not look for skype in the software center?
[13:20] <ronaldsmazitis> what repo
[13:20] <ronaldsmazitis> ?
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> ronaldsmazitis: the partner repo, second time
[13:20] <ronaldsmazitis> do I have to gradually know what is url of it
[13:21] <ronaldsmazitis> partner repo could be any
[13:21] <xangua> !partner | ronaldsmazitis
[13:21] <xangua> ronaldsmazitis: I told you twice  yesterday I believe
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> ronaldsmazitis: no its the partner repo. Its been in ubuntu forever
[13:21] <llutz> ronaldsmazitis: and that apt-get-thing is called "autoremove", not aurltoremove
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> ronaldsmazitis: as you are not a new ubuntu user i thought you'd know that
[13:21] <cfhowlett_> ronaldsmazitis might be a good time for a coffee break - or anap
[13:22] <ronaldsmazitis> I might not have these problems at all if not mistery
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> ronaldsmazitis: also run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> ronaldsmazitis: its a proprietary application so who knows.
[13:22] <ronaldsmazitis> 0 modernizētas, 0 instalētas no jauna, 0 tiks noņemtas un 0 netiks modernizētas.
[13:23] <ronaldsmazitis> nothing happened
[13:23] <ActionParsnip> ronaldsmazitis: you can enable the partner repo by uncommenting the line starting with 'deb' and says 'partner' on it in /etc/apt/sources.list
