[00:01] <Basketball> bekks, how do i do the bash script though
[00:02] <bekks> Basketball: Create it?
[00:02] <Basketball> i already have the bash
[00:02] <Basketball> how do i make it run
[00:02] <bekks> Make it executable and run it.
[00:02] <Basketball> bekks, i want the live cd to autorun it when it is done
[00:02] <Basketball> as it installs more things
[00:03] <bekks> Basketball: As I said, I never messed with cds for customized installations.
[00:13] <Basketball> hey in ubuntu customization kit when i click run console application it says none found
[00:16] <michaelgamble> hey does anyone knwo if thier is anything more user freindly then using sixaxis for connecting ps3 controllers to an ubuntu box with blue tooth
[00:16] <michaelgamble> i was able to do it no problem, but its a bit difficult for my wife to have her typing in terminal commands lol
[00:16] <michaelgamble> either that or a recommendation on soemthjing a little more plug and play i can get for her
[00:17] <daftykins> write her a script
[00:17] <michaelgamble> i suppose i could do that
[00:17] <michaelgamble> thats not a bad idea
[00:17] <bekks> !info uck
[00:18] <huig> Eric^^: now i have copied the stuff i need..what should i do now?change the mode?
[00:18] <cluelessperson> Hey guys, when installing ubuntu from USB, the GRUB keeps getting installed to the USB instead of the hard drive
[00:18] <cluelessperson> As you can imagine, this is really freaking ANNOYING.
[00:18] <cluelessperson> any way around it?
[00:18] <EriC^^> huig, yes change the type
[00:19] <michaelgamble> hmm
[00:19] <EriC^^> cluelessperson, in the installer's Something else menu for partitioning choose the bootloader's location at the bottom
[00:19] <michaelgamble> it seems i may not even need sixaxis to use the controller through usb
[00:19] <michaelgamble> maybe thats my simple solution
[00:19] <daftykins> michaelgamble: yeah wired'd go fine i'm sure
[00:19] <cluelessperson> EriC^^, Ah, maybe I missed that, I'll try again.  Thanks.
[00:19] <michaelgamble> ill get a really long cable lol
[00:20] <michaelgamble> cant really screw up “plug it in"
[00:20] <svetlana> michaelgamble: fair enough :-)
[00:20] <EriC^^> cluelessperson, hold on a sec
[00:20] <huig> EriC^^: done
[00:20] <michaelgamble> i am a bit suprised no one has taken something like sixaxis further i guess
[00:21] <michaelgamble> making it a little more point and click
[00:21] <cluelessperson> EriC^^, At work, I had to revert to burning and installing via CD for it to work.
[00:21] <michaelgamble> probably not a huge demadn i suppose
[00:21] <michaelgamble> oh while im here
[00:21] <cluelessperson> but with usb, it always defaults grub to usb's root, not hdd
[00:21] <michaelgamble> best recommendation on running ubuntu or soemthing similar entirely off of a usb?
[00:22] <michaelgamble> in terms of OS flavour
[00:22] <cluelessperson> michaelgamble, for what purpose?
[00:22] <EriC^^> huig, did you write it?
[00:22] <cluelessperson> michaelgamble, Ubuntu does fine.
[00:22] <michaelgamble> i tried ubuntu a few times its a bit heavy for the purpose
[00:22] <huig> EriC^^: yep, if i look at the type using sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda it is 8300
[00:22] <cluelessperson> michaelgamble, tiny linux. :P
[00:22] <michaelgamble> im thinking something light weight with a gui that i can pop into multiple machines
[00:23] <EriC^^> huig, ok, try rebooting
[00:24] <huig> EriC^^: nothing, same problem, no bootable device
[00:24] <michaelgamble> is tiny linux the one that is specifc to running off usbs?
[00:24] <EriC^^> huig, i think the upgrade erased ubuntu's efi file in the efi partition
[00:25] <zsolt> lemez
[00:25] <michaelgamble> i was researching it a while ago and i remember thier was one with a gui that was specificly geared to run on usbs
[00:25] <EriC^^> huig, do you have a live usb?
[00:25] <huig> EriC^^: i can try using efibootmgr to try to boot the others partitions before booting mac osx
[00:26] <svetlana> michaelgamble: no
[00:26] <huig> EriC^^: yeah, i have been using the live usb all this time
[00:26] <michaelgamble> im thinking it was puppy linux maybe?
[00:26] <EriC^^> huig, ok give it a shot
[00:26] <svetlana> michaelgamble: knoppix is aso dedicated to running off usbs for example
[00:26] <michaelgamble> any one in praticular you might recommend trying first?
[00:26] <svetlana> michaelgamble: there's a lot of them and ubuntu can also do the job fine unless the computer is so slow and old that it falls over on ubuntu's funny desktop things
[00:27] <Daniel_> there's different puppy linuxes that run off USB
[00:27] <michaelgamble> cool well ill check those out
[00:27] <michaelgamble> i have tried ubuntu on a fairly decent laptop off of usb, and ran into issues wiht paging choking out
[00:28] <bekks> michaelgamble: That will happen with every linux.
[00:28] <michaelgamble> which is fine didnt really need it, just default config for ubuntu was a bit clunky on usb
[00:28] <michaelgamble> (coming from a lazy perspective)
[00:29] <huig> EriC^^: it booted mac osx, so it could't boot the other partitions
[00:29] <EriC^^> huig, ok boot the live usb
[00:30] <huig> Eric^^: done
[00:30] <cjanikdev> anyone know why my wifi keeps disconnecting?
[00:31] <cjanikdev> or how i can fix it?
[00:31] <EriC^^> ok type sudo mount /dev/sda4 /mnt
[00:31] <svetlana> cjanikdev: check dmesg
[00:31] <cjanikdev> how?
[00:31] <cjanikdev> i'm a very ignorant child
[00:32] <huig> EriC^^: done
[00:32] <EriC^^> huig, ok, type sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi
[00:33] <huig> EriC^^: mount: mount point /mnt/boot/efi does not exist
[00:34] <EriC^^> huig, it's the ubuntu installation though right?
[00:34] <huig> EriC^^: in /mnt/boot i see grub but not efi
[00:34] <huig> yep
[00:35] <EriC^^> ok, type sudo mkdir /mnt/boot/efi
[00:35] <cjanikdev> anybody know why my I keep disconnecting from wifi or how I can fix it?
[00:35] <cjanikdev> f**k i'm stupid
[00:35] <huig> EriC^^: done creating efi and done with mounting dev/sda1 in efi
[00:36] <EriC^^> huig, ok type ls -l /mnt/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu
[00:37] <huig> Eric^^: no such file or directory
[00:38] <huig> in ./EFI/ there is APPLE BOOT tools
[00:38] <EriC^^> huig, ok, type for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
[00:38] <theoriginalpines> hi
[00:38] <daftykins> EriC^^: i knew you were the person for the job!
[00:39] <EriC^^> :P
[00:39] <daftykins> so did that Yosemite upgrade nuke the partitions?
[00:39] <huig> EriC^^: done
[00:39] <EriC^^> daftykins, it's pretty odd the ubuntu efi dir is gone
[00:40] <EriC^^> huig, type sudo chroot /mnt
[00:40] <daftykins> sounds like Apple :>
[00:40] <EriC^^> hehe
[00:40] <EriC^^> :D
[00:41] <huig> EriC^^: before typing the last command you told me, the one about the loop for. find ./EFI | grep ubuntu only outputted something related with .png, the name tells they are icons.. (in case it helps)
[00:41] <huig> EriC^^: done
[00:41] <EriC^^> huig, ok
[00:42] <EriC^^> huig, ok type dpkg -l | grep grub
[00:42] <EriC^^> huig, is grub-efi installed?
[00:44] <huig> EriC^^: i have no idea, i installed ubuntu, it booted with the boot manager of mac osx, although when i choosed ubuntu, grup appeared and i could choose ubuntu or mac osx
[00:45] <huig> EriC^^: the command did output something..what do u want of that output?
[00:45] <huig> or was it only to see if something appeared?
[00:45] <EriC^^> huig, ok, check if grub-efi is there
[00:45] <EriC^^> it might be grub-efi-amd64-signed
[00:46] <huig> EriC^^: i see grub-common, grub-gfxpayload-lists, grub-pc-bin, grub2-common
[00:46] <huig> not grub-efi
[00:46] <EriC^^> ok, i was thinking so
[00:47] <EriC^^> cause you don't have a /boot/efi dir and osx couldn't have removed that
[00:47] <EriC^^> it's a weird franken setup
[00:47] <huig> so what do i do now?
[00:47] <EriC^^> you have grub-pc ( legacy )
[00:48] <EriC^^> i have no idea
[00:48] <huig> EriC^^: grub-pc i have
[00:48] <EriC^^> you installed ubuntu after you had osx there?
[00:48] <huig> yeah
[00:49] <EriC^^> just a standard ubuntu install, standard iso?
[00:49] <huig> and i installed an osx manager
[00:49] <huig> yeah
[00:49] <huig> an osx boot manager
[00:49] <EriC^^> did ubuntu boot after the install?
[00:49] <huig> yeah, i choosed it from the boot manager provided by mac osx
[00:51] <EriC^^> ok and the osx boot manager you installed was optional?
[00:51] <EriC^^> i mean it booted without it?
[00:51] <huig> EriC^^: maybe it is easier if i reinstall ubuntu..i don't know if i can install it in that partition though
[00:52] <EriC^^> huig, if you're willing to take the risk, you could reinstall grub-pc
[00:52] <EriC^^> i imagine that's what the installer did when you installed ubuntu
[00:52] <huig> EriC^^: it is optional, if not installed when powering on the pc you have to press the option key to choose the device to boot from
[00:52] <EriC^^> oh ok
[00:52] <cjanikdev> anybody know why I keep disconnecting from my wifi or how I can fix it?
[00:53] <huig> EriC^^: having the stuff i need i don't mind reinstalling ubuntu, if i can install it in that partition..you think i could?
[00:54] <EriC^^> what about the osx stuff?
[00:54] <EriC^^> you could try to just reinstall grub, but i'm not sure about it so it's up to you
[00:56] <huig> EriC^^: the osx stuff boots alright, i only lost ubuntu stuff but now i copied it so i have it. if you are not sure about reinstalling grub i am not taking the risk
[00:56] <EriC^^> ok
[00:56] <huig> EriC^^: how can i know if i can rewrite the partition where ubuntu was and install a new distro there?
[00:57] <EriC^^> huig, in the installer just select Something else, and then select that partition and edit the mountpoint to "/" and click on the format checkbox
[00:57] <EriC^^> huig, it'll format it and install ubuntu there
[00:58] <huig> EriC^^: ok, archlinux, ubuntu or debian? what do u suggest
[00:59] <EriC^^> depends and it's pretty subjective
[01:00] <Nokaji> good folk of ubuntu land I have a question, as a ubuntu newbie, where should I focus my efforts initially so I can get to grips with the more technial and power-user type aspects?
[01:00] <huig> EriC^^: i know it is pretty subjective, i have been using Ubuntu for months and i like it, but i am curious for trying out new things
[01:00] <huig> so be subjective please haha
[01:00] <bodhi_zazen> huig, use KVM and boot a few live images
[01:01] <cluelessperson> EriC^^, So I'm sitting at this partiioning method screen
[01:01] <cluelessperson> what options do you suggest?
[01:01] <EriC^^> huig, well try arch
[01:02] <huig> EriC^^: why do u suggest arch?
[01:02] <ObrienDave> it makes you work to keep it running
[01:03] <daftykins> Nokaji: tough call. do the free Linux intro course LFS101 from edx.org
[01:03] <EriC^^> well it's a nice experience, you'll have to install everything so you'll learn a lot, plus it's really clean and it boots in like 4secs systemd is nuts
[01:04] <Nokaji> great, thanks daftykins
[01:05] <Amm0n> ObrienDave, i just upgrade a one year neglegted arch and it just runs..
[01:05] <Amm0n> *upgraded
[01:07] <EriC^^> yeah it doesn't really have problems that way, but you have to setup up everything even syntax highlighting in nano isn't enabled etc. etc.
[01:07] <cjanikdev> Amm0n, would you happen to have any insight on how I can fix my wifi situation? xP
[01:09] <huig> Eric^^: i use vim, would not have problems with nano haha
[01:10] <EriC^^> huig, you'd have to install it though :P it's not installed by default
[01:10] <Amm0n> cjanikdev, start over here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide
[01:10] <cjanikdev> thank you
[01:11] <ObrienDave> Amm0n, way too much work for me ;P
[01:12] <huig> EriC^^: yeah, that isn't an issue, normally vi is default but vim isn't
[01:12] <EriC^^> huig, yeah, anyways give it a go, or maybe resize the partition and leave some for arch
[01:13] <huig> EriC^^: i will try it, thanks EriC^^, you have been of great help!
[01:13] <EriC^^> fwiw it uses like 2gb installed with some programs and the memory consumption is really really low, like 350mb with chrome open
[01:14] <huig> arch has gcc, g++ and python by default?
[01:15] <EriC^^> i think it comes with the base-devel package
[01:17] <cluelessperson> EriC^^, I couldn't find a grub option, same stuff is occurring
[01:17] <EriC^^> cluelessperson, when you boot what happens?
[01:18] <EriC^^> huig, i mean when you install you can install base + base-devel and it has gcc and the rest
[01:19] <Amm0n> huig, read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/arch_compared_to_other_distributions
[01:20] <huig> i suppose if you install base you can the download what you need for gcc and the rest right?
[01:20] <huig> Amm0n: right there, reading it, thanks!
[01:21] <EriC^^> huig, yeah, but you need that meta package for making packages from the AUR, it's like build-essential
[01:21] <OerHeks> i would start with the metapackage build-essentials
[01:24] <EriC^^> cluelessperson, did you select the bootloader location at the bottom in the installer?
[01:29] <AkashicLegend> how do I move hidden files using mv
[01:30] <EriC^^> AkashicLegend, they are exactly the same thing
[01:30] <EriC^^> mv .file <destination>
[01:31] <AkashicLegend> hmm I tried that it didn't work
[01:31] <AkashicLegend> let me try again
[01:31] <bekks> What was the exact command you used?
[01:31] <AkashicLegend> oh I think I know what happened
[01:32] <AkashicLegend> I didn't check the destination file with ls -a
[01:32] <AkashicLegend> yeah it's there
[01:32] <AkashicLegend> thanks
[01:32] <bekks> Thats not necessary, since (having sufficient permissions) you will overwrite it.
[01:44] <cluelessperson> EriC^^, Alright, I finally got this to boot up, with USB
[01:45] <cluelessperson> EriC^^, but the grub is on the USB
[01:45] <cluelessperson> EriC^^, How do I fix this?
[01:45] <EriC^^> cluelessperson, boot the live usb
[01:46] <cluelessperson> EriC^^, I mean it's booted fine now, into the server
[01:46] <EriC^^> oh ok
[01:46] <cluelessperson> EriC^^, how do I fix grub?
[01:46] <EriC^^> type sudo parted -l
[01:47] <EriC^^> type sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo parted -l | pastebinit
[01:47] <cluelessperson> EriC^^, The HDD is SDA I think
[01:53] <cluelessperson> EriC^^, paste.ubuntu.com/10698809
[01:54] <Kage`> Would this be a proper channel to ask about bridge networking help in Ubuntu?
[01:54] <Kage`> Not sure..
[01:56] <EriC^^> cluelessperson, ok, type sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
[01:56] <excelsiora> no swap, what do I do?
[01:56] <cluelessperson> EriC^^, ?  isn't it already mounted?  the server is running now
[01:57] <EriC^^> oh right
[01:57] <excelsiora> see output of free: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10698823/
[01:57] <EriC^^> just type sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
[01:57] <EriC^^> then sudo update-grub
[01:57] <excelsiora> no swap!
[01:58] <EriC^^> excelsiora, do you have a swap partition?
[01:58] <excelsiora> Yes!
[01:58] <OerHeks> excelsiora, logical, if you have an encrypted system
[01:58] <EriC^^> type sudo swapon
[01:59] <cluelessperson> EriC^^,  I did  sudo grub-install /dev/sda
[01:59] <cluelessperson> and then sudo update-grub
[01:59] <EriC^^> ok, try rebooting
[01:59] <cluelessperson> EriC^^, works without USB
[01:59] <cluelessperson> EriC^^,  in the past when I did this, the server updated and reverted back to needing usb
[02:00] <EriC^^> oh
[02:01] <EriC^^> odd
[02:01] <Amm0n> no chroot /mnt before?
[02:03] <Amm0n> http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd
[02:03] <[Ex0r]> Hmm, how does one get adware/malware on linux?
[02:05] <Amm0n> [Ex0r], https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware :P
[02:06] <AkashicLegend> I'm running an image of ubuntu on vmplayer. everything is smooth but there is no internet
[02:06] <AkashicLegend> do you guys know what could be wrong?
[02:08] <excelsiora> OerHeks: so what do I do?
[02:11] <cluelessperson> AkashicLegend, vms sometiems have issues with network drivers
[02:11] <cluelessperson> AkashicLegend, look into that
[02:12] <cluelessperson> AkashicLegend, use as generic network drivers as possible.
[02:12] <AkashicLegend> I guess. I have a fedora image that works fine so maybe the issue are drivers.
[02:15] <Amm0n> excelsiora, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq

[02:20] <Zenn> where do I get 15.04?
[02:21] <svetlana> Zenn: #ubuntu+1 topic should have some hints, it's not released yet and i have no idea
[02:22] <Zenn> windows sucks man
[02:23] <Zenn> it slows the shit down of my laptop.. for apparently no reason.
[02:25] <Zenn> well this are my pc status
[02:25]  * Zenn ** SysInfo ** Client: HexChat 2.10.2 (x86) ** OS: Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro ** CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     P7350  @ 2.00GHz (1.00 GHz) ** RAM: 3036 MB Total (1586 MB Free) ** VGA: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series ** Uptime: 9.92 Hours **
[02:28] <daftykins> Zenn: keep the language family friendly, we have no interests in your PC spec - and 15.04 isn't out yet.
[02:29] <Zenn> alright
[02:29] <verdeP> at least he is being positive :D
[02:30] <svetlana> Zenn: welcome.. i usually go with whatever is already released, it's got some bugs taken out at least (before release the system goes through thorough testing)
[02:31] <Zenn> well Im sure 15.04 is fairly stable
[02:31] <Zenn> unless Im wrong
[02:31] <svetlana> Zenn: of course you can go ahead and test, it could be nice way to learn stuff. but beta tester is not the usual way to start out :p
[02:31] <Zenn> you guys are so nice.
[02:32] <Zenn> anyway Im quite scared to check bank related on my laptop which run windows somehow after having a virus protection the laptop still got infected with some spyware
[02:33] <svetlana> fair enough.. i personally do banking from a live cd
[02:33] <daftykins> Zenn: doesn't matter, 15.04 isn't final yet and is only on-topic in #ubuntu+1
[02:33] <Zenn> o.O
[02:33] <svetlana> just in case (so that my otherwise daily usage doesn't kick in the writable medium -- livecd is a readonly cd)
[02:33] <daftykins> however feel free to consider installing a supported long-term-support edition, such as 14.04
[02:34] <Zenn> uh can I ask something the fact that Im using 15.04 does it auto updates daily with the system updater?
[02:34] <daftykins> take it to the #ubuntu+1 channel please.
[02:34] <svetlana> (mind, if i can avoid banking online, i avoid it. i abuse money orders etc as i don't like sending data over the internet if i don't have to)
[02:34] <daftykins> data over the internet? ;)
[02:34] <Zenn> daftykins, Im just asking if the operating system will be updated.
[02:35] <svetlana> Zenn, people are getting a little repetitive & upset.. yes it has an update channel, but i don't remember how it works
[02:35] <daftykins> you're doing it right now to send these messages
[02:35] <svetlana> that's the sort of data i like to send, not the banking kind :)
[02:35] <Zenn> like 14.10 -> 15.04
[02:35] <daftykins> Zenn: yep and i'd rather you continue your convo in the appropriate channel thanks. it's not too much to ask.
[02:35]  * Zenn has downloaded 14.10 and dartykins keep telling me to go to another channel
[02:36] <svetlana> Zenn, after release itd shift to next unstable thing (15.10) and you'd keep sitting in the alpha testers room for another few months if i'm not mistaken
[02:36] <daftykins> yeah utopic will be upgradeable to vivid
[02:36] <svetlana> and yes, once its out any stable release users wil be able to update to 15.10
[02:36] <svetlana> that's correct
[02:36] <svetlana> er to 15.04 first
[02:36] <daftykins> Zenn: odd, you said you're running 15.04 a minute ago - your story keeps changing :)
[02:36] <svetlana> he isnt running 1504 yet
[02:36] <svetlana> hes considering
[02:37] <daftykins> very bad wording then
[02:37] <Zenn> nope I got a 14.10 here. just wondering if it going to update 15.04 or do I need to download separately when the time comes like you know you cant upgrade windows 7 to windows 8 etc
[02:37] <svetlana> it'll upgrade for you, it'll offer you the major release upgrade
[02:37] <Zenn> that's something Im worrued about.
[02:37] <Zenn> uh this is great.
[02:37] <svetlana> and it's normally seamless & easy
[02:38] <svetlana> i've done such major release upgrade about 5 times now
[02:38] <svetlana> when you do it, take time to read release notes - they're important for the upgrade process
[02:38] <svetlana> it'll offer you to read them too
[02:38] <dysfunct1onal> So I set up a new install of Ubuntu, being that it is retarded I have no root password, it did not create an /etc/passwd entry for my regular user
[02:38] <dysfunct1onal> so i have no login shell
[02:39] <dysfunct1onal> i know how to manually create that entry
[02:39] <dysfunct1onal> but i have no idea how to get to it
[02:39] <Zenn> I have been looking at some videos tutorials, It is quite sick
[02:39] <daftykins> dysfunct1onal: doesn't sound like a normal setup to me, what kind of setup is this?
[02:39] <daftykins> dysfunct1onal: you don't have root in ubuntu no, so if you have a problem with that perhaps you should be using a different distro
[02:40] <dysfunct1onal> i dont know much about ubuntu, I thought none of them came with root passwords by default
[02:40] <daftykins> there is no root password, indeed
[02:40] <svetlana> Zenn: well if you have issues or concerns about it, it would be nice to ask after it's out (which is when everyone would already know the release notes and some common questions about the upgrade)
[02:40] <EriC^^> dysfunct1onal, you have root privileges
[02:40] <svetlana> Zenn: otherwise it's hard to be helpful
[02:40] <EriC^^> dysfunct1onal, sudo is installed and you're in the sudo group
[02:40] <dysfunct1onal> how do you fix retarded issues like this with no root password
[02:40] <Zenn> alright mate ^^
[02:40] <dysfunct1onal> theres no login shell for the regular user
[02:40] <svetlana> Zenn: :) i'm waiting for it as well
[02:40] <daftykins> dysfunct1onal: stop throwing that word around.
[02:40] <dysfunct1onal> there is no /etc/passwd entry
[02:40] <EriC^^> dysfunct1onal, the installer creates a user
[02:41] <dysfunct1onal> i know how to create one manually but i have no idea HOW to get to be able to
[02:41] <svetlana> what does it log you in, if not a shell
[02:41] <EriC^^> boot into the recovery mode
[02:41] <EriC^^> but your story doesn't make sense
[02:41] <dysfunct1onal> it doesnt log you in
[02:41] <svetlana> (i think it logs you into something basic from where you can start a shell) ah ok
[02:41] <EriC^^> drop to a root shell
[02:41] <dysfunct1onal> it wont, you have no /etc/passwd entry
[02:41] <svetlana> thanks EriC^^
[02:41] <Zenn> anyway I remember that was a bug no idea if that was fixed if you press the caps lock too fast it appears to have not register the key so the next Letter will be like this HI the rather than Hi the
[02:41] <daftykins> dysfunct1onal: are you logged in as the standard user, yes or no?
[02:41] <EriC^^> you dont need a passwd entry, you just have to not have set a root password
[02:42] <dysfunct1onal> cant login no
[02:42] <svetlana> Zenn, thatd be hardware specific, if you look it up on launchpad you'll find whether it was fixed or not
[02:42] <dysfunct1onal> you do need a passwd entry
[02:42] <daftykins> why not? you should have chosen a username during install
[02:42] <EriC^^> dysfunct1onal, is this a server?
[02:42] <dysfunct1onal> that gives you your login shell
[02:42] <daftykins> so this sounds like a non-standard setup, explain
[02:42] <daftykins> is this a VPS? a physical system you just installed from USB/DVD?
[02:43] <dysfunct1onal> every user HAS to have a /etc/passwd entry
[02:43] <daftykins> help us... to help you
[02:43] <dysfunct1onal> or no login
[02:43] <dysfunct1onal> its a friends system
[02:43] <Zenn> svetlana, you mean it has not been fixed yet? what was the issue?
[02:43] <daftykins> stop harping on about passwd and answer the above
[02:43] <dysfunct1onal> he installed it normally
[02:43] <svetlana> Zenn, type your kb name or computer name, it may have been fixed outside of launchpad as well, if you already have the bug then there's nothing to loose by the upgrade anyway... once the upgrade is over you could come back to this question and folks would help you troubleshoot it (or I can ask few questions now if you like btu  I risk wasting time on something that's already fixed)
[02:43] <daftykins> right, friends system - of what? ubuntu (what version?) desktop?
[02:43] <dysfunct1onal> it just installed incorrectly
[02:43] <daftykins> so re-do it
[02:43] <dysfunct1onal> ultimate edition, basically yes ubuntu
[02:43] <daftykins> ultimate? there's no such thing
[02:43] <EriC^^> ultimate edition
[02:44] <EriC^^> lol
[02:44] <Zenn> kb name or computer name?
[02:44] <daftykins> my troll alarm is going off
[02:44] <dysfunct1onal> i dont personally use a system that comes without the ability to do administration like this
[02:44] <EriC^^> dysfunct1onal, try down arrow left arrow left arrow block
[02:44] <dysfunct1onal> this is ridiculous
[02:44] <daftykins> dysfunct1onal: if it didn't install right, then you can't keep moaning about how the OS works 'cause clearly it didn't install right... so reinstall.
[02:44] <EriC^^> for the friendship fatality
[02:45] <dysfunct1onal> yeah hes not going to reinstall after all that time
[02:45] <daftykins> 'all that time'
[02:45] <dysfunct1onal> but i have to seriously question not giving root access for problems like this
[02:45] <svetlana> sorry yes, ultimate edition is a remix of ubuntu, it's not ubuntu itself
[02:45] <daftykins> just how long has 'your friend' been using a computer that can't be logged into?
[02:45] <svetlana> i suspect ultimate edition folks have their own support channel
[02:45] <dysfunct1onal> im training to be a sys admin, id never want such a setup
[02:46] <dysfunct1onal> thanks anyway i guess
[02:46] <svetlana> Zenn: search for both kb model and computer model
[02:46] <daftykins> hmm i don't recall if that one is supported in here
[02:46] <dysfunct1onal> ill stick with debian wheezy
[02:46] <daftykins> !ultimate
[02:46] <daftykins> what an absolute idiot
[02:47] <svetlana> daftykins: i have trouble catching up.. was that cause root user doesn't have a passwd entry?
[02:47] <AkashicLegend> kk I fix the problem
[02:47] <AkashicLegend> I had to setup the network adapters
[02:47] <svetlana> yay
[02:47] <EriC^^> svetlana, he came he rant he left
[02:47] <AkashicLegend> I had to many adapters on at once, vpn and other things that messed it up
[02:47] <daftykins> svetlana: not this distro, not our problem
[02:47] <AkashicLegend> too*
[02:48] <svetlana> daftykins: yes about ultimate i got that by a web search.. i didn't get the problem the folk was trying to raise about users though, the way he put it was beyond my scope
[02:48] <Zenn> svetlana, are you saying it is a hardware issue?
[02:48] <EriC^^> svetlana, he was saying it didn't create a user when he installed
[02:48] <EriC^^> bad iso maybe, who knows
[02:49] <daftykins> svetlana: sorry, passing on confused peoples problems is above my paygrade
[02:49] <daftykins> went in the nutjob pile for me pretty quick.
[02:49] <AkashicLegend> trust problem after problem with this image I downloaded
[02:49] <daftykins> anyone who can't handle 'sudo' generally does :P
[02:49] <AkashicLegend> I'm trying to install tree but it says it can't find the package
[02:49] <svetlana> Zenn: drivers are the software that's responsible for correct work of your hardware -- i suspect it might be a driver issue or a keyboard shortcut config issue.. i would search for it on the trackers of ubuntu and of the relevant driver, and look up the computer model on the ubuntu hardware compatibility page
[02:49] <AkashicLegend> how do I fix the repositories
[02:49] <Zenn> svetlana, http://askubuntu.com/questions/574740/caps-lock-delay
[02:49] <AkashicLegend> on ubuntu
[02:50] <EriC^^> !info tree
[02:50] <daftykins> AkashicLegend: what image?
[02:50] <svetlana> AkashicLegend: what's the problem
[02:50] <ParSalian> sudo add-apt-repository
[02:50] <AkashicLegend> I got it off osboxes
[02:50] <EriC^^> AkashicLegend, you have to enable the universe repository
[02:50] <ParSalian> dont know the repo
[02:50] <Zenn> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-keyboard/+bug/1376903
[02:51] <svetlana> Zenn: err ok.. good find :) this has no milestone set, i'm reading it to understand why
[02:51] <daftykins> AkashicLegend: got *what* ?
[02:52] <AkashicLegend> the image
[02:52] <daftykins> image of WHAT
[02:52] <Zenn> svetlana, it is a known bug for ages
[02:52] <Zenn> no one seems to be able to fix it too
[02:52] <daftykins> oh sweet Tux why do you send these people
[02:53] <svetlana> Zenn: i would kill Xorg and test for the issue again to isolate it
[02:53] <Zenn> kill xorg?
[02:53] <svetlana> it's reported as a Xorg bug but there's no evidence for that
[02:53] <svetlana> categoriing & triaging it properly could help to resolve it quicker
[02:53] <Zenn> isnt ubuntu going make a switch fromm xorg in the future?
[02:53] <AkashicLegend> wow dafty, the image of ubuntu
[02:54] <AkashicLegend> 14.10
[02:54] <svetlana> yes. I'm not sure whether just switching to a virtua console (ctrl+alt+f1,f2,f3,f4,f5,f6; f7 orf8 back to gui) is a good way to escape xorg
[02:54] <daftykins> AkashicLegend: what's wrong with the official mirrors?
[02:54] <Zenn> brb later
[02:54] <daftykins> AkashicLegend: i'm trying to establish if you're using some kind of non-standard modified distro instead of standard official.
[02:55] <EriC^^> Zenn, http://unity.ubuntu.com/mir/
[02:55] <AkashicLegend> oh I see
[02:55] <svetlana> Zenn: i think the upgrade wouldn't force you to uninstall X and instal Wayland even when their defaults change. they respect your list of installed software.
[02:55] <AkashicLegend> well I am adding the universal repository and doing an update
[02:55] <AkashicLegend> I'll see if that fixes the problem
[02:55] <Zenn> yeah that Eric mir is suppose to replace xorg
[02:56] <svetlana> or mir.. but they'll respect and support Xorg (as in,it'll still be in the repos and still continue to receive updates)
[02:56] <Finetundra> is there a good place to ask questions about lxqt?
[02:56] <Zenn> why has xorg has not fixed the bug yet then?
[02:57] <AkashicLegend> yeah it fixed the problem
[02:57] <AkashicLegend> thanks guys
[02:57] <ParSalian> Finetundra: have you tried #lxqt
[02:58] <nicomachus> hi guys, I bought a USB wireless adapter for my laptop (NIC going out), but I'm having some trouble activating it.
[02:58] <svetlana> Zenn: because it's probably not an xorg bug, and whoever filed it didn't include hardware details
[02:58] <Zenn> possible if I refile it?
[02:58] <nicomachus> it comes with an installation mini-disc that has linux instructions and a shell script for automatic install, but the shell script won't run.
[02:58] <EriC^^> nicomachus, what does it say when you try to run it?
[02:59] <svetlana> Zenn: more like possible if you add a comment to the existing bug and incude more detais (what hardware, does it work ok in virtual console)
[02:59] <svetlana> l
[02:59] <nicomachus> EriC^^: nothing happens at all.
[02:59] <nicomachus> I set it as executable, and nautilus is set to allow scripts.
[02:59] <EriC^^> nicomachus, you have to run it from the terminal
[02:59] <nicomachus> I also tried executing it from terminal, but no luck.
[02:59] <EriC^^> what does it say in the terminal?
[03:00] <Finetundra> ParSalian: there just seems to be one fellow there and he has yet to respond
[03:00] <nicomachus> I navigated to the folder and then typed in the file name, but it's named "install.sh" so terminal thinks I"m trying to run an install command and asks for argument
[03:00] <EriC^^> nicomachus, cd to the dir, and type ./install.sh
[03:00] <EriC^^> you probably have to use sudo ./install.sh
[03:01] <nicomachus> ahhhh
[03:01] <ParSalian> Finetundra: looks like they are on #LXDE
[03:01] <nicomachus> I wasn't using ./
[03:01] <Finetundra> ParSalian: ok, will have a look
[03:01] <nicomachus> it's running now. probably gonna kick me off here...
[03:02] <nicomachus> ugh, maybe not... "compile make driver error: 1"
[03:02] <excelsiora> Amm0n: thanks for the link on the swap faq
[03:02] <EriC^^> nicomachus, is there a README?
[03:02] <EriC^^> or INSTALL?
[03:03] <nicomachus> EriC^^: Yes, there's a readme. nothing in there to help though.
[03:03] <nicomachus> trying it as sudo now.
[03:05] <nicomachus> oh, wow, there's a folder with 15 readme docs.... wtf...
[03:05] <ParSalian> seems to me that would be second try...
[03:07] <svetlana> nicomachus: i think that's just the same in different languages. hopefully. :-)
[03:07] <nicomachus> nope...
[03:07] <svetlana> aw, hehe
[03:07] <nicomachus> quick start guides for all kinds of stuff. driver compilation, power saving, etc
[03:08] <excelsiora> ok, I have a swap partition, I think
[03:08] <nicomachus> support wifi certification, bridge, SoftAP, porting guide, wpa supplicant.... all in very technical terms.
[03:09] <nicomachus> they advertise this adapter as "plug and forget". :|
[03:09] <excelsiora> I have this: /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1
[03:11] <ParSalian> nicomachus: generally not that way on linux
[03:11] <svetlana> nicomachus: if they really wanted it to be this way, they would package it for ubuntu instead of using ugly things like this.
[03:12] <nicomachus> haha, I was just impressed they actually had linux install files.
[03:12] <svetlana> nicomachus:  I would torment them with any questions on the install, personally, so that they get exactly as much support load as they deserve.
[03:13] <nicomachus> hahaha but that's what you guys are for! :P
[03:13] <nicomachus> gotta find this 500mg aspirin I just dropped on the floor before my cat does, then I'll look up their support contact info.
[03:19] <Machus> nicomachus: Sup bro
[03:20] <excelsiora> Hey, do you guys have a link to a Juju tutorial? Mark said you would. :)
[03:20] <excelsiora> I wanna test it out on my own machine, in maybe a container or something like that.
[03:21] <ParSalian> !juju
[03:21] <nicomachus> sup machus
[03:22] <excelsiora> according to fstab I have /dev/mapper/cryptswap1
[03:31] <daftykins> yeah 'cause you're using encryption
[03:31] <daftykins> ;)
[03:34] <ronin> Hello
[03:34] <nicomachus> everyone give excelsiora a round of applause for being a smart guy.
[03:37] <cluelessperson> hey guys
[03:38] <cluelessperson> how do I create a user with only ssh tunneling functions?
[03:38] <cluelessperson> nothing else?  no shell, etc.
[03:38] <che2> so when i go man (command) i notice that some of the command options start with - and some start with --, do these dashes need to be used? because when i unzip something it's tar xf filename.
[03:39] <che2> what's the difference between 1 dash options and 2 dash options
[03:39] <ParSalian> che2: yes
[03:39] <ParSalian> in the man page
[03:39] <che2> yes
[03:39] <ParSalian> the differences are in the man page
[03:39] <che2> right, i'm saying in the man page some of the options have 1 dash and some have 2, what's with that?
[03:40] <che2> i'm a noob, probably a dumb question
[03:40] <ParSalian> they are different
[03:40] <nicomachus> isn't -- usually a shortcut option?
[03:40] <che2> man tar
[03:41] <aeon-ltd> che2: supposedly an 'end' to what is parsed by bash http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/what-does-double-dash-mean-in-ssh-command/
[03:41] <ParSalian> sometimes they use -(letter) as a shortcut of the longer --commandswitch
[03:41] <che2> aeon-ltd: thanks
[03:41] <tarwater> is there a separate ubuntu help channel, or is this it?
[03:41] <cluelessperson> Does anyone know how to create a user with only ssh-tunnel permissions, nothing else?
[03:41] <gh0strat> I'm using a PCIe (Atheros 93xx based) card on a fresh install of 14.10, but it's like it can't see the card. The card is a Rosewill N900, model number: RNWD-N9003PCe
[03:42] <ParSalian> raid?
[03:42] <gh0strat> I checked reviews before I purchased the card, and everyone seemed to say it just worked.
[03:42] <aeon-ltd> che2: here says somethng else though http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/quick-question-about-single-double-dash-commands-883039/
[03:43] <Amm0n> cluelessperson, creating users needs root permission
[03:44] <ParSalian> gh0strat: has it been installed correctly
[03:45] <gh0strat> ParSalian, the card has been working fine in Windows 7
[03:45] <cluelessperson> Amm0n, obviously?
[03:45] <cluelessperson> Amm0n, I'm asking how to create a user that's restricted
[03:45] <ParSalian> good, info:-)
[03:45] <ParSalian> any drivers you needed in windows
[03:45] <ParSalian> is it a raid card
[03:45] <gh0strat> nope, it just worked from what I remember
[03:46] <gh0strat> no, it's a NIC
[03:46] <tarwater> my executable python script wont run with a double-click, but it will run from the terminal with: python ./test.py
[03:46] <tarwater> the first line is #!usr/bin/python like it should be, and i change the permissions to make it executable
[03:46] <gh0strat> which python
[03:47] <gh0strat> wrong window lol
[03:47] <tarwater> it should be 2.7
[03:47] <gh0strat> you're missing the slash
[03:47] <gh0strat> #!/usr/bin/python
[03:47] <tarwater> where
[03:47] <tarwater> oh fuck me
[03:47] <hack> Lol
[03:47] <gh0strat> hey, don't feel bad about it. Sometimes, all it takes is a second set of eyes
[03:48] <hack> Yea
[03:51] <nicomachus> tarwater: I spent 4 hours trying to troubleshoot an rsync command, when I realized that capitalization matters. :/
[03:52] <tarwater> thats rough
[03:52] <john_doe_jr1> I commented out some mount points in /etc/fstab but is still showing when I type the "mount" command…do u have any idea?
[03:53] <Alissa> Does anyone know why - on Ubuntu 14.10 - if I exit out of Skype, there's nothing on the top right corner and I can't log back in or anything?
[03:53] <excelsiora> thanks for the applause, but when I don't have swap, I don't feel all that smart
[03:53] <Amm0n> cluelessperson, sry i got you wrong.. read: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/14312/how-to-restrict-an-ssh-user-to-only-allow-ssh-tunneling
[03:54] <cluelessperson> Hey guys, best way to make a simple, very simple socks proxy?
[03:54] <Alissa> cluelessperson: ssh -D
[03:55] <cluelessperson> Alissa, for possibly public other users
[03:55] <Alissa> Run ssh -D to any server, then have users connect through that.
[03:55] <Alissa> Should work.
[03:55] <Alissa> In theory, tht is.
[03:55] <ParSalian> gh0strat:i cant track any solutions
[03:56] <cluelessperson> Alissa, huh?
[03:56] <Alissa> cluelessperson: If you run ssh -D 1080, that'll make a SOCKS proxy on port 1080
[03:56] <Alissa> ssh -D 1080 <anyserver>
[03:56] <cluelessperson> Alissa, Run that command on the server?
[03:56] <Alissa> On the server.
[03:56] <cluelessperson> Alissa, I mean an ACTUAL proxy
[03:57] <Alissa> cluelessperson: I know exactly what I'm doing. I do the exact same thing.
[03:57] <cluelessperson> Alissa, so the server will run a constantly up socks proxy?
[03:57] <Alissa> If you run ssh in the background, yeah :D
[04:03] <cluelessperson> Anyone have suggestions for a socks5 proxy daemon?
[04:04] <esph> My laptop running 14.04 at 3.13.0-48-generic has a problem in that the mic ceases to work completely after suspend/resume. Sound output works fine after resume, and the mic works after a reboot, just not after suspending. Here's the output of arecord -l: http://sprunge.us/QhMB Anybody have an idea of what could be going wrong?
[04:05] <gh0strat> ParSalian: Well thanks for looking into it. I've been looking at it for an hour and can't figure-out why it isn't just working...
[04:05] <ParSalian> have you removed it, tried a reboot then reintall...
[04:06] <aeon-ltd> esph: is it muted after suspend in alsamixer?
[04:06] <esph> aeon-ltd: no; the settings don't change in any way I can see in either alsamixer or pavucontrol
[04:06] <gh0strat> ParSalian: No, I guess I'll give that a try. Thanks again.
[04:07] <svetlana> esph: i have same issue, apache2 and wifi stop working after a resume and i have to start them again by hand.
[04:08] <svetlana> esph: the workaround presumably is to load some relevant kernel module and try using the mic again.
[04:08] <excelsiora> Does this mean I have a swap partition or not? sudo dmsetup -v table /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1 | pastebinit => http://paste.ubuntu.com/10699139/
[04:08] <esph> svetlana: unfortunately, there are like 7 sound modules which depend on eachother and all that jazz, so I think that solution would be overcomplicated at best.
[04:09] <svetlana> i see.
[04:13] <excelsiora> sudo dmsetup table /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1 gives me: 0 12165120 linear 252:0<PHONE_NUMBER>  but I'm not sure how to interpret.
[04:16] <esph> svetlana: just in case though, is there a nice way to restart modules? If I try to remove any of the snd modules, I get "Module [...] is in use."
[04:22] <excelsiora> kinda sucks that I can't get help with a optional gui enabled install option.
[04:22] <gh0strat> I'm having trouble getting a PCIe (Atheros-based) wireless card to work. Here's what dmesg has to say about it:
[04:22] <gh0strat> dmesg | grep ath9k
[04:23] <gh0strat> [    8.983185] ath9k 0000:08:00.0: Failed to initialize device
[04:23] <gh0strat> [    8.983250] ath9k: probe of 0000:08:00.0 failed with error -5
[04:23] <svetlana> esph: I use modprobe and rmmod
[04:24] <ParSalian> after installing nvidia-331 driver my screen will no longer dim, but if i restart and change screen brightness before full boot i can, anyideas
[04:26] <excelsiora> holy shit, I have swap, and I'm not sure why
[04:26] <ParSalian> also nvidia-331-update is the same
[04:27] <gh0strat> also, when I try `rfkill list all`, I don't get any output
[04:27] <excelsiora> I did this: mkswap /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1
[04:28] <excelsiora> that must have done it?
[04:29] <excelsiora> Here's the output, did I mess something up? http://paste.ubuntu.com/10699175/
[04:29] <excelsiora> specifically worried about this: mkswap: /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1: warning: don't erase bootbits sectors on whole disk. Use -f to force.
[04:31] <excelsiora> is that anything to worry about?
[04:32] <askoo> please tell me how to reduce image size without loosing the quality , in ubuntu ??
[04:33] <askoo> I have a png 39 Mib and i want to reduce it under 2 mb
[04:33] <`hypermist`> why not leave it the same as
[04:33] <`hypermist`> askoo, *
[04:35] <askoo> hypermist`; the website i am uploading too requires image size less than 2 mb , it's my photo
[04:35] <`hypermist`> askoo, can you change the .jpeg
[04:35] <`hypermist`> to a .jpeg or something
[04:36] <gh0strat> askoo, you aren't going to be able to make it any smaller without losing some of the quality. 2mb sounds like .jpeg size
[04:36] <askoo> `hypermist`; it s png ! do you mean change it to jpg ?
[04:36] <excelsiora> ok, going to reboot to see if I fixed it. Wife will be happy too, she has same problem...
[04:36] <`hypermist`> Save it as a .jpg
[04:36] <excelsiora> wish me luck
[04:36] <`hypermist`> instead of a .png
[04:36] <aeon-ltd> using a image editor will have options for how compressed you want the image
[04:37] <ekaj113> i am having trouble connecting to my internet while trying out ubuntu
[04:37] <askoo> hypermist` : and how to save it as jpg ?? do you mean  from properities ?
[04:37] <`hypermist`> Nevermind askoo
[04:38] <askoo> `hypermist`: never mind what ?
[04:38] <ekaj113> can somebody help me
[04:38] <ekaj113> i am having trouble connecting to my internet while trying out ubuntu
[04:38] <`hypermist`> Just dont worry about what i am saying askoo
[04:38] <svetlana> ekaj113: details please
[04:39] <excelsiora> I feel invisible
[04:39] <aeon-ltd> askoo: do you have gimp?
[04:40] <ekaj113> svetlana: even when trying out mint i have to turn on the driver for my reciever and i did the same on ubuntu. unlike mint networks didn't just show up
[04:40] <svetlana> excelsiora: bye & good luck
[04:40] <askoo> aeon-ltd>, YES
[04:40] <excelsiora> thanks! I exist!
[04:40] <excelsiora> bye!
[04:41] <aeon-ltd> askoo: if you open the image in gimp, then export it, you will have options for compression there
[04:41] <aeon-ltd> exporting as jpeg of course
[04:41] <Alissa> Does anyone know why - on Ubuntu 14.10 - if I exit out of Skype, there's nothing on the top right corner and I can't log back in or anything?
[04:41] <svetlana> Alissa: the tray icon is missing?
[04:42] <ekaj113> svetlana: even when trying out mint i have to turn on the driver for my reciever and i did the same on ubuntu. unlike mint, networks didn't just show up where you normally select them
[04:42] <aeon-ltd> Alissa: there are probably options for that, to change close to not quit the application
[04:43] <gh0strat> Someone recommended I install the latest ath9k from backports. How do I go about doing this in 14.10?
[04:44] <maziar_> plz help me http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29316542/recover-ntfs-files-after-format-to-ext4
[04:44] <aeon-ltd> !backports
[04:44] <svetlana> ekaj113: try running ``sudo service network-manager restart'' in ubuntu and checking for the issue
[04:45] <Alissa> svetlana: Yep.
[04:45] <Alissa> aeon-ltd: I haven't changed any options and don't know why it's doing whatever it's doing
[04:45] <gh0strat> Thanks aeon-ltd, I'll check it out
[04:45] <aeon-ltd> Alissa: did it used to work as expected?
[04:45] <Alissa> Nope.
[04:46] <aeon-ltd> Alissa: then take a look through the settings
[04:46] <ekaj113> svetlana: should it work after that or do i have to do something else
[04:47] <svetlana> Alissa: http://askubuntu.com/questions/362135/364307#364307 has one workaround involving installing ppa:mc3man/sacy-tests and whitelisting everything in the systray
[04:47] <svetlana> ekaj113: I personally expect the networks list to be populated after that, if everything is normal. if it isn't, check dmesg for the error message.
[04:48] <ekaj113> svetlana: i was just checking ubuntu out anyway, if i trully feel like i want to use it i will figure it out

[05:03] <BlankVerse> unable to upgrade
[05:07] <rypervenche> maziar__: You another disk to extract the files to, do you have that?
[05:08] <maziar__> rypervenche, yes i have
[05:08] <daftykins> BlankVerse: "cat /etc/issue" please?
[05:08] <daftykins> paste it here, it's one line
[05:08] <daftykins> oh that's crouton
[05:09] <BlankVerse> Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS \n \l
[05:09] <daftykins> sorry your OS isn't supported here.
[05:09] <daftykins> crouton is a modified chromebook hack, not legit.
[05:11] <rypervenche> maziar__: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step
[05:12] <kill_switch> should we use apt-get or aptitude
[05:12] <rypervenche> maziar__: You will want to reatore the NTFS file system if possible.
[05:12] <kill_switch> what is the difference?
[05:12] <kill_switch> sometimes I have seen that aptitude has more update then apt-get
[05:12] <maziar__> rypervenche, i hope
[05:13] <daftykins> apt-get = built in
[05:14] <daftykins> makes no sense to install extras if you can do the job with what's there
[05:14] <kill_switch> ok
[05:15] <kian> I'm trying to get the commands "xset -dpms" and "xset s off" to run at boot, so I made a .conf file located in /etc/init/xsetstuff.conf and put in "start on login-session-start", "script" "xset -dpms && xset s off" "end script" and saved
[05:15] <kian> Reboot'd however did not take effect
[05:15] <kian> I don't understand what else could go wrong
[05:22] <kk> I have installed kubunutu x64 on windows 8 laptop, UEFI mode, but I selected either "/" partition, or bios_grub partiotion(don't remember). I am able to load from usb. How can I add ubuntu to UEFI boot menu
[05:23] <saurabhdare> kk, make sure your BIOS is set to install non-UEFI OS.
[05:24] <kk> why
[05:24] <kk> The guide says it's ok to use UEFI
[05:24] <kk> and OS is installed correctly, only problem is bootloader
[05:24] <kk> I chose wrong option
[05:25] <saurabhdare> kk, you can use live stick to install grub using grub-install option.
[05:25] <kk> should I type it in term?
[05:26] <saurabhdare> kk, http://askubuntu.com/questions/74761/how-do-i-manually-install-grub
[05:26] <saurabhdare> boot from live stick/DVD and then install grub on your disk without affecting your OS.
[05:29] <kk> guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI#General_principle says "set the /boot/efi mount point to the EFI partition" and I think I need to add ubuntu record to my efi.
[05:29] <kk> (I want dual booting)
[05:30] <saurabhdare> kk, grub will handle that for you, if my *guess* is correct.
[05:30] <saurabhdare> kk, grub recognizes other OS. Dual-booting or multiple-booting will be possible.
[05:30] <DJJeff> snes9x-gtk crashed with sigabrt in g_mutex_unlockslowpath
[05:53] <DJJeff> my problem was caused by libglib 2.42
[05:53] <DJJeff> I somehow upgraded it to utopic while still running trusty
[05:54] <DJJeff> reverting back to libglib 2.40.2 solved it
[06:00] <lotuspsychje> good morning to all
[06:22] <limbera> i just updated some packages on my 14.04 box
[06:22] <limbera> and supervisor has stopped working
[06:22] <limbera> anyone else experience this?
[06:24] <lotuspsychje> limbera: superviser?
[06:24] <limbera> supervisor *
[06:24] <lotuspsychje> whats that
[06:25] <limbera> it's an application
[06:25] <limbera> that manages other application daemons
[06:25] <Alissa> It's a Python-based application to help manage processes.
[06:25] <limbera> well processes
[06:25] <limbera> yeah
[06:25] <lotuspsychje> limbera: can you start from terminal to see errors?
[06:25] <Alissa> I use it myself but I wouldn't recommend it as it's not exactly 100% working right for me.
[06:25] <limbera> it's not giving me any errors
[06:25] <limbera> i have configured and used it on multiple sites before, and it always works
[06:25] <limbera> but after the latest update it just doesn't detect my config files
[06:25] <limbera> Alissa: what's wrong with your setup?
[06:26] <Alissa> limbera: It just gives random and ugly errors.
[06:26] <Alissa> I'd show examples but I've fixed it up aaages ago
[06:26] <limbera> yeah sure
[06:26] <lotuspsychje> limbera: you could try create another user, and test it from there?
[06:26] <lotuspsychje> limbera: to see if its not a config thing
[06:27] <limbera> yeh i'll give that a go now
[06:27] <limbera> although you need sudo to run it
[06:27] <limbera> so i dunno if that will do anything
[06:27] <lotuspsychje> limbera: yeah, its just a test
[06:27] <cakey> um
[06:28] <lotuspsychje> limbera: maybe 14.04 updated/removed a package that brakes supervisor?
[06:28] <limbera> mmm
[06:28] <limbera> i wish i could tell
[06:28] <limbera> it's not "broken" it's just not reading my config files
[06:28] <lotuspsychje> hmm
[06:29] <brad_c> hello
[06:29] <limbera> so i assume i must be doing something wrong
[06:29] <brad_c> i am confused
[06:29] <brad_c> are there any good chat rooms
[06:29] <lotuspsychje> !alis | brad_c
[06:30] <lotuspsychje> limbera: did you try: sudo service supervisord reload
[06:31] <Usman> how can I use corel draw on ubuntu?
[06:31] <Stryker> wine
[06:31] <Usman> else?
[06:31] <limbera> giving that a go no lotuspsychje
[06:31] <brad_c> or you could try gimp
[06:31] <lotuspsychje> Usman: maybe its in the playonlinux database
[06:31] <lotuspsychje> !info playonlinux | Usman
[06:32] <lotuspsychje> Usman: or search the wine database like Stryker suggests :p
[06:32] <Stryker> Usman: you may enjoy Krita
[06:32] <Usman> thanks.\
[06:32] <serega527> hello. pls say, how to wimax usb work on ubuntu 14.04?
[06:32] <Stryker> Usman: great program for painting. It is similar to things like SAI Paint Tool
[06:33] <ViperXL75> hi
[06:33] <Stryker> Usman, if you want the raw vector stuff, try out Inkscape
[06:33] <brad_c> hello!!!
[06:34] <limbera> if i calls apt-get remove <program>
[06:35] <limbera> will that remove all the files that it used to
[06:35] <limbera> like /etc/<program>
[06:35] <Usman> yes I want the raw vector stuff, is there any app like corel draw for ubuntu?
[06:35] <Stryker> Usman: try Inkscape
[06:35] <Usman> Thanks #Stryker
[06:35] <lotuspsychje> !purge | limbera
[06:36] <ViperXL75> I know that windows could do it. But can Ubuntu share a hdd which has a spindown time, or will it keep the HDD active continuously?
[06:37] <serega527> hello!
[06:38] <wafflejock> ViperXL75, http://askubuntu.com/questions/39760/how-can-i-control-hdd-spin-down-time
[06:40] <tsushi> Anyone know what i hotkey i just pressed?
[06:40] <tsushi> i wrote sudo-apt get install virtualbox-
[06:40] <tsushi> then i pressed something so i could see all available packages that start with virtualbox-
[06:41] <wafflejock> serega527, you can use lsusb -k, this will list all the usb devices the -k will show any kernel modules (basically drivers) loaded for your device, Google the device id (eight hex numbers separated by a colon, and your version of ubuntu)
[06:41] <wafflejock> tsushi, tab tab
[06:41] <ViperXL75> I know that windows could do it. But can Ubuntu share a hdd which has a spindown time, or will it keep the HDD active continuously?
[06:41] <wafflejock> tsushi, you may also want to checkout the command, apt-cache search packagename
[06:42] <tsushi> oh wow, that
[06:42] <wafflejock> ViperXL75, I posted a link for controlling spindown time
[06:42] <tsushi> that's amazing. Thanks wafflejock :)
[06:42] <wafflejock> tsushi, no prob
[06:43] <ViperXL75> wafflejock: oh yeah. Oops.
[06:44] <serega527> thank you. after 5 hours I will try to start it work.
[06:45] <wafflejock> ViperXL75, yeah I haven't messed with this but it appears it should work fine, I have a network attached storage (NAS) box that runs some old version of debian called Sarge that definitely does spin down the disks when it's idle and only powers up when I access it (then taking some time on initial access to spin up the disks), but I haven't messed with it on my laptop/desktop
[06:46] <wafflejock> serega527, yeah if you have problems you can try posting the device specifics from that command (if you have trouble finding the device just pastebin the output of the command and link it here)
[06:50] <serega527> if it will be useful, this wimax called Yota modem. it use in Russia also. you can find it in Google.
[06:55] <Marasgeon> greetings, I have an issue with .srt files, they are all unknown 8bit charset, so gedit doesn't display the characters right
[06:56] <Marasgeon> what can I do?
[06:56] <wafflejock> Marasgeon, grab a hex editor like bless
[06:57] <wafflejock> Marasgeon, it'll show you the hex/binary/ascii representations of all the data in a file, not sure where you're going with it though?
[06:58] <Marasgeon> wafflejock, I just want to check if the subtitles are correct
[06:58] <sumon> sumon
[07:02] <sumon> sumon ubuntu sebver
[07:02] <wafflejock> Marasgeon, hmm seems that should open okay in a regular text editor but doesn't hurt to try out bless, can just get it with sudo apt-get install bless, you may also want to check this out https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/subtitleeditor/
[07:04] <Stryker> Marasgeon, if you wouldn't mind linking me to the srt file, I could attempt a few different programs on it to see what will work with it
[07:05] <Stryker> Marasgeon, instead of gedit, I often favor geany. Perhaps that would be good to try. It is very capable for a ton of things, including programming rudimentary C/C++ files

[07:38] <iceroot> hi
[07:38] <iceroot> what is daisy.ubuntu.com? Mar 29 09:29:52 alienbuntu whoopsie[795]: [09:29:52] Cannot reach: https://daisy.ubuntu.com
[07:38] <iceroot> and why is ubuntu sending something "home"?
[07:40] <svetlana> iceroot: hi.
[07:40] <svetlana> !info whoopsie
[07:40] <iceroot> svetlana: the question is why is ubuntu sending something home without asking me?
[07:41] <svetlana> iceroot: the thing submits error messages and details to the ubuntu bug tracker. I think it's meant to let you know first by means of a dialogue.
[07:41] <iceroot> svetlana: no dialogue
[07:43] <iceroot> no information that infos will be send and much more important no info WHAT will be send
[07:43] <svetlana> iceroot: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ErrorTracker has some details on how to configure it. let me know if the default is to send these reports without letting you know -- this should not happen I think.
[07:43] <iceroot> svetlana: thank you i will check the links and also the defaults
[07:46] <anates> Hei, what can I do if I presumably killed my xserver? When booting (and wanting to log in) the graphical surface is not avaliable, only the text consoles. How can I identify the problem and solve it?
[07:46] <anates> Thanks!
[07:47] <iceroot> svetlana: seems like when the "would you send the info" window is closed, it will create a *.upload file insteadof uploading it. later it will check if there is *.upload in it and will upload everything to daisy.ubuntu.com
[07:47] <iceroot> so if you cancel/kill the question-dialog a upload.file is created which is acting like a queue
[07:48] <svetlana> iceroot: sounds undesirable at best; can you please look up the package info in the package manager, find the 'file a bug' URL, and use it?
[07:49] <iceroot> svetlana: sure, but i guess ubuntu-bug packagename is also fine? or should this reported upstream instead of launchpad?
[07:49] <svetlana> both commands report to launchpad, and reporting to launchpad is fine (in case the software is configurable enough to fix it within the distro)
[07:51] <iceroot> svetlana: thank you for the support and useful input
[07:52] <lobhater> hello
[07:53] <svetlana> iceroot: no worries :-)
[07:53] <svetlana> lobhater: hi
[07:55] <aliman> googd morning everyone
[07:57] <aliman> can anyone tell me where i can learn everything about ubuntu? i just installed it and i want to know stuffs about it...is there any tutorials r something?
[07:59] <aliman> lol so many ppl online and no answer
[08:02] <Amm0n> aliman, it depends on what you want to learn.. you could start here: https://help.ubuntu.com/ or just feed google with: ubuntu searchterm
[08:04] <aliman> Amm0n_ witch is the Super buton?
[08:05] <Amm0n> aliman, its the windows key in most cases
[08:06] <aliman> Amm0n ohh thx
[08:06] <Amm0n> aliman, not explicitly ubuntu but if you want to lear you'll find many info's here: http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/
[08:08] <aliman> i like this system more then windows but i need to learn it very well
[08:08] <aliman> svetlana hi :) you helped me out yesterday and i want to tkank you :) my nick was bogdan by then :)
[08:09] <bibi-23> hello, I had an empty sd card, it was getting detect when I was plugging it in my laptop. I've installed Raspian on it and now nothing happens when I plug it in. I can see this on syslog "mmc0: new ultra high speed SDR50 SDHC card at address 59b4", maybe it's not auto-mounted anymore? What can I do?
[08:09] <aliman> guy what d you think about ubuntu on phone?
[08:09] <aliman> guys*
[08:14] <aliman> Amm0n do you have any idea if i can use video call on skype? cuz i don't see any only simple call
[08:14] <Amm0n> aliman, no sry i don't use skype
[08:15] <iceroot> aliman: you can use video call on skype but skype should be avoided if possible (closed source, microsoft, usa)
[08:16] <aliman> so? what that means? is there a problem with it?
[08:16] <iceroot> aliman: from the function, no
[08:16] <iceroot> aliman: from the point of freedom, yes
[08:17] <aliman> do you mean they can track you by skype or what?
[08:18] <iceroot> aliman: you can be tracked by everything which is not encrypted. the main issue here (from my point of view) its software from the usa which is closed source, so you dont know what microsoft and the nsa are doing there, because noone is able to check what the programm is really doing on your system
[08:18] <iceroot> aliman: but there are also a lot of people which dont care about all this closed source stuff. so from the function for a video call, everything is fine and its working
[08:19] <bibi-23> when I plug a micro sd card, the following files are created "/dev/mmcblk0", "/dev/mmcblk0p1", but it's not showed when I do "df -h". Do I need to mount it or something?
[08:19] <Amm0n> iceroot, from this point you can't use any computer since most hardware is manufactured in the us ;)
[08:19] <iceroot> bibi-23: mmcblk0 is the device itself, mmcblk0p1 is the first partition (there are your files)
[08:19] <aliman> don't get upset i'm sorry but i don't understand all of those terms and my english is not that good also. i kinda don't know what you mean by closed source
[08:19] <iceroot> Amm0n: yes
[08:20] <iceroot> Amm0n: and no
[08:20] <iceroot> Amm0n: everything is manufactured in china not the us
[08:21] <iceroot> Amm0n: but its not about countries, its about not losing the control of your software and hardware. with closed source there is no single control but i am also aware that there is no 100% free system (soft and hardware) but that should not result into "then i dont care"
[08:21] <Amm0n> iceroot, i'm 100% with you
[08:22] <aliman> iceroot if i encrypt the system should i be more safe?
[08:23] <iceroot> aliman: this is not related to your skype question but if you are interested what free software and closed software is i would suggest this link https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
[08:24] <iceroot> aliman: and ubuntu is free software (most parts if it)
[08:24] <bibi-23> iceroot: thanks for your help, I'm following this tutorial again (http://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/linux.md), it was working when the sd card was empty but now that there is already something on the card, Ubuntu doesn't detect it anymore... What do you mean by "the files are in mmcblk0p1", I don't see anything inside (it's not a folder). Previously...
[08:24] <bibi-23> ...Ubuntu was opening a window when I was plugging the sd card, like it does for a usb stick for example.
[08:26] <iceroot> bibi-23: you can not open the files in /dev/ directly. its holding the devices and partitions and these needs to be mounted, that is what ubuntu is doing normally when you put in a new drive/card
[08:27] <iceroot> bibi-23: could you paste the last lines from the command "dmesg" which are relaed to this /dev/bb....
[08:27] <iceroot> bibi-23: /dev/mmc.. of course, sorry
[08:29] <bibi-23> iceroot: sure, do you mean this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/10699743/ (dmesg | grep mmcblk0)
[08:29] <iceroot> bibi-23: please without the grep :)
[08:30] <iceroot> bibi-23: if you put in the card, maybe the last 10 lines should be reladed to this with something like "new highspeed usb device" and so on
[08:31] <bibi-23> iceroot: I've put it out and in, here were the last lines that look related : http://paste.ubuntu.com/10699753/
[08:32] <funkybro> lol
[08:32] <aliman> iceroot do you knw anything about ubuntu on phone?
[08:32] <iceroot> aliman: sorry, no
[08:34] <iceroot> bibi-23: if i am correct are these raspbian images inside a fat32 partition and ubuntu should be able to mount fat32 by default. but the lines you were pasting are not very useful (for me)
[08:34] <iceroot> or at least /boot is in fat32, dont know exactly
[08:35] <aliman> i can not send and receive files from windows on ubuntu or vice-versa on skype?
[08:36] <iceroot> !samba | aliman
[08:36] <aliman> cuz is not working for me...its like android and ios
[08:36] <iceroot> !sftp |  aliman
[08:36] <iceroot> hm, not that useful
[08:37] <iceroot> aliman: you want to transfer over the internet? or inside a local network?
[08:38] <aliman> cuz i am a truck driver i am in a gas station. and i am using wifi to talk home with my wife. i wanted to send her something
[08:39] <iceroot> aliman: if you want to use skype, you can also share files there
[08:39] <iceroot> aliman: so no need for samba, sftp or something like that. skype can do that
[08:39] <iceroot> aliman: http://www.skypelive.com/de/features/send-files/
[08:39] <aliman> i tried to send a pic on skype and my wife tried to do that to but we did not received them
[08:40] <bibi-23> iceroot: hum I don't know what kind of partition it's inside, can't I flash it to remove anything on it? Apparently it's getting detected, so maybe there is a solution...
[08:40] <iceroot> bibi-23: so you want to wipe it and create a new partiton for your later rasbpian installation?
[08:40] <iceroot> !gparted | bibi-23
[08:41] <iceroot> bibi-23: sudo apt-get install gparted  and then type gksudo gparted, select your mmc device and check the partitons there and create a new one or delete an existing one
[08:41] <iceroot> bibi-23: but dont act on the /dev/sd devices, that are your hard disc,so select the /dev/mmc stuff
[08:42] <Amm0n> bibi-23, can you paste the output of lsblk -f?
[08:42] <bibi-23> iceroot: yeah whatever that allows me to make it readable again by Ubuntu, I'll try it thanks
[08:43] <iceroot> Amm0n: first use the command from Amm0n so that we can see what is on the device
[08:43] <bibi-23> Amm0n: sure, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10699808/
[08:43] <iceroot> bibi-23: seems like there is a partition without a file-system
[08:46] <Amm0n> bibi-23, pls paste sudo blkid instead
[08:46] <bibi-23> iceroot: so I'd better use gparted to erase everything? It's not a problem there is only a previous fresh raspian installation. But I think I didn't do it properly that's why I'd like to retry.
[08:47] <Amm0n> bibi-23, if you don't want to use raspian, wipe it
[08:47] <Amm0n> no need to paste then
[08:48] <Amm0n> nvm.. :)
[08:52] <bibi-23> iceroot: yep definitely something wrong, with the graphic tool I see some info (http://paste.ubuntu.com/10699838/). By deleting the existing one, you mean right click on the /dev/mmm... and "Delete"?
[08:54] <iceroot> bibi-23: just select /dev/mmc in the right upper corner, then dev/mmc...p1 should be in the list. right click and create new file-system
[08:54] <iceroot> bibi-23: if it is onlynfor linux, use ext4, if it is for rasbian i guess fat32 was needed, if you want to use it on windows as well, use ntfs
[08:56] <Amm0n> bibi-23, you want to try to dd the raspian again?
[08:58] <Amm0n> and why do you want to access it from ubuntu?
[08:58] <bibi-23> iceroot: there is no such thing available in the list (most of them are light grey unclickable), I can do "Delete", "Resize remove", "Format to", "Information"
[08:59] <bibi-23> Amm0n: because somehow the raspberry doesn't do anything when I plug it into it, I'm sure I've followed all their instructions properly but I'd like to retry, maybe something went wrong.
[09:00] <iceroot> bibi-23: format to
[09:01] <Amm0n> ok, if you want to retry with dd you don't need to create partitions.. dd will wipe all partitions anyways
[09:02] <Amm0n> i'd try as recommended in your guide to dd with 1M instead of 4M
[09:02] <Amm0n> sry iceroot xD
[09:03] <bibi-23> Amm0n: oh ok great to know thanks, so I'll try again, yeah... because the book about it says 2M but their online page 4M, I've used 4M at the time, maybe if I lower it it writes in a safer way
[09:08] <bibi-23> Amm0n: I'm trying again with 2M, then I'll do 1M if it still doesn't work. Anyway thank you very much for your help :)
[09:09] <Amm0n> yw, there are channels for raspberry on freenode too
[09:09] <melvincv> How to configure xrdp (using only the RDP protocol and not VNC) in Linux Mint? I'm at a loss after googling this...
[09:09] <Amm0n> i can't help you with that
[09:10] <melvincv> I'm running "Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca"
[09:11] <melvincv> and it's the KDE version
[09:12] <Amm0n> melvincv, rdp sux try x2go or NX No Machine
[09:14] <aliman> Amm0n are you here?
[09:14] <Amm0n> aliman, yup
[09:15] <melvincv> Amm0n: thanks, i'll try the tutorials
[09:15] <AkashicLegend> where do I see the multiple cores when I press 1 with top command
[09:15] <AkashicLegend> I don't notice anything
[09:15] <DasEi> SquRoFL: so you get a gui, but very laggy on a brandnew install,, right?
[09:16] <aliman> do you have any clue if i need to set my mic on skype or something? cuz i just called someone and he could not hear me. i did but he did not. and btw video call is working but the person i call can not hear me
[09:16] <AkashicLegend> well I notice something
[09:16] <AkashicLegend> I just can't tell how many cores on here from using tops
[09:16] <AkashicLegend> top*
[09:17] <Amm0n> aliman, sry mate i can't help you with skype
[09:17] <melvincv> my senior system admin had done some voodoo in the top command - now it does not respond on pressing 1 (CentOS)
[09:17] <SquRoFL> DasEi: yeah
[09:18] <SquRoFL> what's happening is basically the (my user here) and guest selection screen
[09:18] <SquRoFL> is being weird.
[09:18] <SquRoFL> itt'l go to the purpleorange screen with dots and ubuntu logo in the center, ubuntu 14.04 LTS bottom left
[09:19] <SquRoFL> and if i press enter, logs me in as guest.
[09:19] <svetlana> is it a live cd?
[09:19] <SquRoFL> nope.
[09:19] <SquRoFL> installed on HDD from the liveCD
[09:19] <DasEi> SquRoFL: so try to boot safemode next, do a full update/grade (has to be connected to inet OC), dry a dpkg-reconfigure on xorg, look at syslog for additional hints
[09:19] <svetlana> are you sure it is booting from the hard drive?
[09:19] <melvincv> unfortunately he is also the CEO of another company (and a consultant here) So I can't really go to him with doubts :(
[09:19] <SquRoFL> yes.
[09:20] <SquRoFL> no CD/usb in there.
[09:20] <svetlana> ok does the user you specified exist? type ``id usernamehere'', replacing usernamehere with the username you specified during install
[09:20] <SquRoFL> it does exist.
[09:20] <SquRoFL> it's at my login prompt before it dissapears
[09:21] <svetlana> so there is a login screen but it disappears before you get to log in as your desired user?
[09:21] <SquRoFL> yes.
[09:21] <svetlana> ok, what i woud do is this: try to press ctrl+alt+f1, log in, type 'startx' there, and go to settings to disable guest login
[09:21] <svetlana> then reboot and try again
[09:21] <svetlana> (backup data first, if any)
[09:22] <svetlana> (just in case we have to reinstall later)
[09:22] <SquRoFL> login password?
[09:22] <svetlana> yes
[09:22] <svetlana> login is the username you specified during install
[09:22] <SquRoFL> typiung my password i set up during setup does not work./
[09:22] <svetlana> odd
[09:22] <SquRoFL> yeah
[09:23] <svetlana> from within guest session, type 'sudo passwd usernamehere'. does guest have root access?
[09:23] <svetlana> (passwd is a command name, not a password)
[09:23] <SquRoFL> wait
[09:24] <SquRoFL> it was user then password hur dur
[09:24] <svetlana> hehehe
[09:24] <SquRoFL> now i'm at a term
[09:24] <DasEi> svetlana: , SquRoFL, ctrl~alt~F1 leads to same init as  safemode, FYI, else see above
[09:24] <SquRoFL> how do start guio again
[09:24]  * DasEi leans back
[09:24] <svetlana> cool, try 'startx'
[09:24] <SquRoFL> blaaaackscreen.
[09:24] <SquRoFL> after startx
[09:24] <SquRoFL> wait
[09:24] <SquRoFL> loading
[09:25] <svetlana> give it time, then switch back to ctrl+alt+f1, press ctrl+c, try again ... ah there we go
[09:25] <svetlana> ok now you have to find settings window and disable guest login there
[09:25] <SquRoFL> i think this single core atom box isn't beefy enough for ubuntu imo
[09:25] <svetlana> no, it's alright, startx is supposed to be slow
[09:25] <aliman> why is it amazon preinstalled on ubuntu?
[09:25] <svetlana> (it's loading all the graphics stuff from scratch, so..)
[09:25] <bekks> Amazon isnt preinstalled on Ubuntu.
[09:26] <SquRoFL> it's stuck at the orangepurple desktop background with the * tessalation
[09:26] <svetlana> aliman: more specific please, do you mean the web browser search engines?
[09:26] <SquRoFL> HOw slow?
[09:26] <svetlana> just 5 seconds should be ok
[09:26] <aliman> yes. when i install ubuntu and i start it on the menu bar there is amazon icon
[09:26] <SquRoFL> been 60
[09:26] <svetlana> try to switch back to ctrl+alt+f1 , ctrl+c, run startx again
[09:26] <svetlana> aliman: err what version
[09:27] <aliman> 14.04 LTS
[09:27] <svetlana> aliman: I have to fall over and leave it to others; first time I hear and I've been not using the 'menu bar' thing for a while now
[09:27] <svetlana> aliman: so hold on :)
[09:27] <mehdi> hey guys when my system boots up instead of having ubuntu only it shows something like this http://i.stack.imgur.com/U39zl.jpg
[09:28] <aliman> if i do a screenshot how can i show you?
[09:28] <svetlana> mehdi: that's not boot, that's shutdown (without poweroff). try to power it off and boot again.
[09:28] <svetlana> aliman: upload it to www.imgur.com
[09:28] <bekks> aliman: Just upload it to an image hoster,
[09:29] <mehdi> svetlana, well it happens on both when u shutting it down and starting up
[09:29] <mehdi> that was just an example
[09:29] <mehdi> i didnt get the picture
[09:29] <svetlana> mehdi: does it boot successfully into a login screen?
[09:30] <mehdi> yes but i wanted to in only shows "UBUNTU" not the screen like that
[09:30] <svetlana> mehdi: ok, that sounds fair enough. give me a minute.
[09:30] <mehdi> tanx
[09:30] <Anonym> Hi

[09:31] <Anonym> fxmulder_fxmulder_fxmulder_fxmulder_
[09:31] <Anonym> fxmulder_
[09:31] <bekks> mehdi: And is there 13.04 mentioned too, on your screen?
[09:31] <shark> what ?
[09:31] <mehdi> well mine is 14.04
[09:31] <bekks> mehdi: ah, fine.
[09:31] <mehdi> and im waiting to upgrade to 15.04
[09:32] <aliman> Amm0n   http://i.imgur.com/1M6ejQ5.jpg?1
[09:32] <aliman> it is right under ubuntu software center
[09:33] <svetlana> mehdi: I think you have to edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and replace 'text' with 'splash'. if there is no 'text', just add 'splash'. in the ``linux blabla blabla root=blabla ro somethinghere'' line at the end
[09:33] <bekks> aliman: you can see the amazon search en on the left, not "Amazon is installed".
[09:33] <bekks> aliman: In case you dont want it, you can easily disable it.
[09:33] <svetlana> mehdi: you can pastebin the file (old and new versions) if you would like me to read through it before you save it
[09:34] <aliman> bekks how can i disable it?
[09:34] <bekks> aliman: Click on the Ubuntu button, search for "Privacy" and then turn off "Include online results" .
[09:34] <aliman> i just pres unlock from luncher?
[09:34] <bekks> No.
[09:35] <aliman> i just did that bekks but the amazon icon is still there
[09:35] <bekks> aliman: The icon will remain there.
[09:36] <bekks> aliman: but the functionality that amazon is used to search for online results is disabled now.
[09:36] <mehdi> sure
[09:36] <aliman> ohh ok
[09:36] <svetlana> mehdi: (I am assuming you already tried ``sudo apt-get install plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo'' and ``sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth''. if you didn't, you may want to do it first)
[09:36] <mehdi> svetlana, no i didnt
[09:37] <svetlana> right. I would suggest to do it first and reboot to test it. if it doesn't work, we'll edit the grub file.
[09:41] <mehdi> svetlana, and which part should i change in grub.cfg?
[09:42] <svetlana> in the block for your ubuntu, change the line which starts with 'linux' (pastebin both old and new version before saving the new one)
[09:42] <mehdi> i havent change it yet
[09:43] <svetlana> oh, sorry, I'm lagging behind. can you pastebin your /etc/default/grub file, please?
[09:43] <vespakoen> Hey, anyone on a Macbook 6,1 (2010 - 17 inch) ?
[09:43] <mehdi> set linux_gfx_mode=text  is this one?
[09:43] <svetlana> (no, we should not edit the first file I named, it'll get overwritten)
[09:44] <ablest1980> hi i go too a website and not all images show i think they are gif im using firefox
[09:44] <mehdi> svetlana,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/10700050/
[09:45] <svetlana> wrong file, I mean not /boot/grub/grub.conf, I mean /etc/default/grub
[09:45] <ablest1980> ubuntu got it own pastebin cool
[09:45] <ablest1980> :D
[09:45] <svetlana> err I again was looking at the wrong paste
[09:45] <svetlana> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" <-- this looks ok
[09:46] <ablest1980> how do i get all images from a website to show in firefox?
[09:46] <svetlana> mehdi: if this is the old version, I think we have to go back to the other two lines I suggested -- installing plymouth and setting it as default
[09:46] <mehdi> ok letme try those
[09:47] <mehdi> svetlana, how can i change the picture for splash?
[09:47] <svetlana> ablest1980: from a whole website, or from a currently open web page?
[09:47] <vespakoen> ablest1980, this maybe: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4602153/how-do-i-use-wget-to-download-all-images-into-a-single-folder
[09:47] <DasEi> login=loginmanger;setmode=bootmanager   ;)
[09:48] <ablest1980> some of the images doesnt show from a website
[09:48] <ablest1980> i think they are gif
[09:48] <mehdi> svetlana,  which one http://paste.ubuntu.com/10700072/?
[09:48] <vespakoen> ablest1980, have you got a link of the page in question?
[09:48] <svetlana> mehdi: you have to edit /lib/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth and specify your image path there (someone correct me if I'm wrong and there is a setting for this in the settings window)
[09:49] <svetlana> checking
[09:49] <mehdi>  no
[09:49] <vespakoen> reboot brb
[09:49] <ablest1980> yes but you need to have an account to see what i am talking about
[09:49] <ablest1980> the site is www.gedforfree.com
[09:50] <mehdi> svetlana, remove the question mark
[09:50] <svetlana> mehdi: um, 0 or 2 should work. I would leave it as is, reboot, if it doesn't work then try another one. (and report a bug to the plumouth package about such weird duplicate in the list)
[09:54] <mehdi> svetlana, i had this problem once when i installed mint there was an app for changing a boot resolution and that fixed it
[09:54] <mehdi> donno about ubnutu
[09:54] <arcx> svet,a a
[09:54] <svetlana> mehdi: yeah, I'm just wondering whether it installed a new package when you asked it to install plymouth thingy
[09:55] <mehdi> tanx anyway
[09:55] <svetlana> I think we have 2 unanswered questions :)
[09:55] <svetlana> hi arcx
[09:55] <arcx> that was wrong placement of fingers on the keyboard...
[09:56] <svetlana> mehdi: [ 1) did it install a new package or was it already installed 2) did you try 0, did you try 2, did any of them work when you try to reboot ]
[09:56] <svetlana> ah ok arcx, no worries
[09:57] <mehdi> svetlana, it was long time ago on mint 9 if i not mistaken it no big deal
[09:57] <arcx> I am still looking for a solution how to fix my ubuntu 14.04: Somehow I have no graphical surface when booting up, i.e. I can login in the text consoles, but when changing to the GUI, the screen stays black. I assume that I killed the xserver somehow, or deleted an important package. How can I fix that?
[09:57] <svetlana> mehdi: I mean on this ubuntu box
[09:58] <mehdi> well in ubuntu i havent tried anything yet
[09:58] <svetlana> it would be a good idea to try. the configs you pasted are from ubuntu, right?
[10:02] <svetlana> mehdi: good luck -- I'll disappear for a few hours in a few minutes, but I am sure that you'll figure it out
[10:02] <mehdi> svetlana, take care
[10:07] <drox> buongiorno a tutti il comando per installare il kernel realtime è sudo apt-get install linux-loelatecy o sudo apt-get install linux-rt ? grazie
[10:08] <drox> *linux-lowlatecy
[10:08] <drox> *linux-lowlatency
[10:11] <SquRoFL> drox: no hable espanol
[10:11] <SquRoFL> habla*
[10:12] <arcx> You can translate it easily: What is the command for installing the realtime-kernel? install linux-lowlatency or linux-rt?
[10:14] <drox> exscume i know to be in channel ubuntu-it
[10:15] <drox> SquRoFL, can you to help me?
[10:16] <cluelessperson> Anyone here know how to properly install an ubuntu server?
[10:17] <cluelessperson> these people keep mentioning creating another user and messing with files you shouldn't have to touch
[10:17] <svetlana> drox: you are in #ubuntu-it now I think.
[10:18] <drox> svetlana, yes thanks alot
[10:18] <svetlana> cluelessperson: I go with the stock install and then follow  https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/  (much of it applies to ubuntu as well).
[10:19] <cluelessperson> svetlana, I accidentally a word
[10:19] <cluelessperson> Does anyone know how to properly install a teamspeak server?
[10:19] <svetlana> OH
[10:20] <svetlana> can you avoid doing this? it's proprietary software, and unless you have clients, it's best to move to something else.
[10:20] <danbower> i installed 14.02 over my 12.10 using the live CD. when i reboot my PC i get dropped into grub rescue. if i explicitly pick the boot device, i can get up grub and boot into ubuntu but unfortunately windows starts to load then just resets. any suggestions on how to fix this particular problem?
[10:20] <danbower> i've tried using boot-repair but it complains about not being in UEFI mode.
[10:22] <mihaijulien> Hello!
[10:22] <cluelessperson> svetlana, like what?
[10:23] <cluelessperson> svetlana, and yes, I have clients
[10:23] <svetlana> cluelessperson: how many?
[10:23] <cluelessperson> svetlana, 50 or so, usually about 10 at a time
[10:23] <svetlana> and what activity do you want to do with them?
[10:23] <svetlana> roughly
[10:23] <cluelessperson> svetlana, We do gaming.
[10:23] <cluelessperson> svetlana, the community is open to pretty much everyone.
[10:24] <svetlana> gaming over 1 shared screen? or how does it work?
[10:24] <cluelessperson> svetlana, it's teamspeak.   audio/headsets/mic sort of thing.
[10:24] <svetlana> or a game which uses teamspeak for voice communication?
[10:24] <svetlana> ah I see
[10:24] <cluelessperson> svetlana, We use the higher quality continuous voice of teamspeak for team play.
[10:25] <svetlana> I might suggest using tox or an SIP client for it. it should work for audio chat.
[10:25] <svetlana> what OS do the gamers use, how would you say?
[10:27] <cluelessperson> svetlana, Windows.
[10:27] <aliman_> can anyone tell me if i can make the luncher disappear and use the icons on the desktop like on windows?
[10:27] <cluelessperson> svetlana, Most gamers already use teamspeak or similar, I won't move to something else.
[10:27] <bazhang> http://www.sysads.co.uk/2014/06/install-teamspeak-3-in-ubuntu-14-04/ cluelessperson
[10:28] <bazhang> svetlana, cluelessperson what os games use, etc, please take to #ubuntu-offtopic , thanks
[10:28] <svetlana> cluelessperson: ah ok. I think you would be best following teamspeak install instructions from its official website then. if there's a specific instruction which makes no sense to you, just ask here.
[10:28] <cluelessperson> bazhang, this is on topic, we really don't need you micromanaging, thanks.
[10:29] <danbower> can someone please tell me if i'm at least likely to be able to rescue my windows partition? all this EFI stuff is new to me.
[10:29] <svetlana> cluelessperson: it was my fault for distracting to discussion of what to switch to. please don't counter attack people.
[10:29] <bazhang> cluelessperson, I just gave the link on how to install it, please have a look
[10:29] <cluelessperson> svetlana, don't worry about him, it's not neccessary to be anal
[10:29] <svetlana> cluelessperson: this is not interesting to me. what is interesting is where you are stuck.
[10:30] <cluelessperson> danbower, symptoms?
[10:30] <bazhang> danbower, you followed the upgrade guide, or just installed directly over the 12.10 by altering the sources.list
[10:30] <danbower> if by "upgrade guide", you mean the install wizard that says something liek "uninstall 12.04 and reinstall" then yes i used that
[10:30] <falematte> Hey guys! Anyone knows if there is somewhere a free linux server to execute simple scripts? Thank you
[10:31] <cluelessperson> danbower, what's going wrong exactly?
[10:31] <danbower> i booted up the live CD to see if it would have any obvious problems with my hardware and it seemed alright so i started the installation process
[10:31] <bazhang> danbower, it was from 12.04 to 14.04?
[10:32] <svetlana> falematte: dmoz.org, look for 'unix shell provider', there's a few free ones. none are endorsed by ubuntu though. not all of them run ubuntu either -- check it on their websites.
[10:33] <danbower> cluelessperson, the installation went fine but on reboot i get grub rescue. something about an unknown device. however if i get up my BIOS boot menu i can pick the actual harddrive (a partition of windows 7 and ubuntu) and get up grub. ubuntu boots but windows starts then the system just resets
[10:33] <anonymous2> hello, how can I install psybnc?
[10:33] <danbower> i've tried using boot-repair but it complains about being in legacy mode. i've tried enabling EUFI but only difference is that i now can't see the mounted drives (windows 7 and some storage disc i use)
[10:33] <aliman_> svetlana ?
[10:33] <bekks> !info psybnc
[10:34] <danbower> bazhang, whichever the last LTS was. 12 something
[10:34] <svetlana> aliman_: hi
[10:34] <bazhang> danbower, 12.04 and 14.04 are LTS
[10:34] <aliman_> svetlana can you pls tell me if there is any way to make the luncher disappear and use the icon like windows does?
[10:34] <svetlana> cluelessperson: (people who are alzy to package stuff for ubuntu occasionaly make instructions which make you edit files by hand. it's nice to know what they mean, so I'd be glad to explain any step)
[10:34] <danbower> right. it was from 12.04 to 14.04 then
[10:35] <svetlana> aliman_: sorry, trouble following. I don't know how windows works after 2002. launcher where?
[10:35] <cluelessperson> svetlana, thanks for your help, I'll do more googling
[10:35] <cluelessperson> danbower, do you have usb still plugged in?
[10:36] <danbower> i used the livecd
[10:36] <cluelessperson> danbower, is it still in when the unknown device error occurs?
[10:36] <danbower> nope, i removed it when the installation completed and the tray popped open
[10:37] <bhavesh> Are sudo apt install * and sudo apt-get install * both same?
[10:37] <bhavesh> Or Apt means aptitude?
[10:38] <danbower> i have looked on google a fair bit but i can't find someone with this particular problem. i.e. grub rescue on boot but can access grub if i pick the actual hard drive from the boot menu. ubuntu works but windows doesn't...
[10:38] <bekks> bhavesh: apt is not a valid command.
[10:38] <danbower> absolutely no warnings during the install that something like this might happen. i thought i was pretty safe installing over ubuntu..
[10:38] <bhavesh> bekks: oh it must be a mint command then.
[10:39] <Mandeep_Singh> bekks, but it works in ubuntu
[10:39] <Mandeep_Singh> just tried
[10:40] <bekks> Mandeep_Singh: Didnt know that. TIL. Thank you :)
[10:42] <Mandeep_Singh> :)
[10:44] <aliman_> svetlana luncher is the left menu bar you know?
[10:44] <bhavesh> So they both are same?
[10:44] <aliman_> where you have all your icons
[10:44] <bekks> bhavesh: apt and apt-get are different commands.
[10:44] <aliman_> talking bout that
[10:44] <bhavesh> bekks: hmm, the format of output looks similar.
[10:44] <cluelessperson> Does anyone know how to add a local public key to the user/.ssh/authorized_keys   file?
[10:44] <cluelessperson> I can't add it because it's hidden it seems
[10:45] <bekks> bhavesh: similar, but not identical.
[10:45] <svetlana> aliman_: ah. that's unity. I don't use it (I uninstalled it). wait for someone here to answer, ask again with all details if you like - you can post screenshot to www.imgur.com and link to it here.
[10:45] <archip> cluelessperson: cat key.pub /home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys
[10:45] <archip> cluelessperson: cat key.pub > /home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys
[10:45] <bekks> cluelessperson: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys
[10:45] <aliman_> svetlana ok thx
[10:46] <bhavesh> bekks: k
[10:46] <cluelessperson> bekks, archip   no such file or directory
[10:47] <aliman_> lol #ubuntuforum is quiet inactive
[10:47] <cluelessperson> sudo cat zachary/freeom.pub >> freedom/.ssh/authorized_keys
[10:47] <bekks> cluelessperson: When doing what?
[10:47] <bekks> cluelessperson: And whats the exact output?
[10:47] <svetlana> aliman_: the channel is dedicated to website maintainance issues I think. maybe discussion of forum questions themselves but I'm not particularly sure about that.
[10:47] <cluelessperson> -bash: freedom/.ssh/authorized_keys: No such file or directory
[10:47] <bekks> cluelessperson: So that file does not exist.
[10:48] <archip> cluelessperson: cd /home/user && mkdir .ssh
[10:48] <aliman_> svetlana is there any addon or something that hides all the adds on web?
[10:48] <cluelessperson> h:
[10:49] <svetlana> aliman_: yes, try ublock
[10:49] <cluelessperson> zachary@pine:/home$ sudo cat zachary/freedom.pub >> freedom/.ssh/authorized_keys
[10:49] <cluelessperson> -bash: freedom/.ssh/authorized_keys: Permission denied
[10:49] <cluelessperson> bekks, archip    nope.
[10:49] <svetlana> cause you are not logged in as 'freedom'
[10:49] <bekks> cluelessperson: sudo will have no effect on >>
[10:49] <aliman_> can i use sudo apt-get install ublock or it's a little bit more complicated?
[10:49] <svetlana> but you're trying to add a file to its homedir
[10:49] <svetlana> aliman_: firefox has its own addon manager
[10:49] <cluelessperson> svetlana, I can't, logins are disabled, only key authentication is allowed.
[10:49] <svetlana> ok
[10:49] <bekks> cluelessperson: cat zachary/freedom.pub | sudo tee -a freedom/.ssh/authorized_keys
[10:49] <svetlana> huh, neat :-)
[10:50] <aliman_> svetlana is ublock or addblock?
[10:50] <svetlana> ublock is a written from scratch, faster adblock. but adblock plus also works.
[10:51] <aliman_> svetlana i writed ublock in the add-on search bar but found nothing but adblock
[10:51] <aliman_> that's why i asked
[10:52] <aliman_> archip ?
[10:53] <archip> aliman_: ?
[10:53] <aliman_> archip hi
[10:53] <archip> hey
[10:54] <aliman_> archip i just wanted to thank you for helping me out yesterday. i had the nick bogdan :)
[10:54] <archip> ah np
[10:54] <svetlana> aliman_: try adblock then. their ad lists are compatible anyway so if you want to move later then it'll be easy.
[10:54] <Amm0n> µblock not ublock
[10:55] <svetlana> i can't type that. yes it has the greek letter.
[10:56] <aliman_> archip i don't know what's the prob, but when i call someone on skype he cannot hear me. and my mic doesn't have any prob. he/she can hear me but extremly low level almost muted
[10:56] <archip> aliman_: check the audio level on the sound settings?
[10:57] <aliman_> Amm0n i did searched for µblock but still nothing
[10:57] <aliman_> archip i did that and is all ok
[10:58] <archip> aliman_: check it with a recording software like audacity, if its fine there its something on skypes end which I cant help you with
[10:58] <ThetaOrionis> aliman_: s it amplified properly? I mean, have you set the input level to 100%?
[10:58] <aliman_> Theta0rionis is ok is 100%
[10:59] <aliman_> Theta0rionis and i have no cables or something is just the laptop mi
[10:59] <aliman_> mic
[10:59] <ThetaOrionis> Hm, sounds like a problem with skype itself, as archip says.
[10:59] <aliman_> on windows was working just fine
[11:10] <cluelessperson> Hey guys, does anyone know how to install teamspeak on debian/ubuntu well?
[11:10] <cluelessperson> All the tutorials I've found have been crap.
[11:11] <jellow> !teamspeak | cluelessperson
[11:11] <celexi> cluelessperson
[11:11] <celexi> how are you doing it ?
[11:12] <Tin_man> https://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-a-teamspeak-server-on-ubuntu
[11:12] <celexi> i think he wants the client
[11:12] <celexi> not the server
[11:12] <Tin_man> oh well i tried.. :)
[11:13] <celexi> as far i remember teamspeak is in ubuntu repos
[11:13] <jellow> yes it is called 'teamspeak-client"
[11:13] <aliman> what is teamspeak for ?
[11:14] <celexi> its a voip client mostly designed for groups
[11:14] <aliman> voip?
[11:14] <SquRoFL> teamspeak: videoless multi-person group skyp[e chat but it doesn't suck like skype.
[11:14] <jellow> aliman:  teamspeak is the proprietry VoIP software, similar to muble but non free
[11:15] <SquRoFL> Voice Over IP
[11:15] <aliman> so you need to pay for it or what?
[11:15] <cluelessperson> celexi, the tutorials I've found are lengthy, require another user made, and dealing with a bunch of BS I feel is a waste of time
[11:15] <SquRoFL> client is free, what costs is to run a server.
[11:15] <celexi> mumble is generally better but a lot of people have a hardon for teamspeak for uknown reasons
[11:15] <SquRoFL> unless you run one yoursel;f, then it's free.
[11:15] <cluelessperson> aliman, SquRoFL   It's free.
[11:15] <aliman> aaaa ok. why do you say skype is crap?
[11:15] <celexi> cluelessperson sudo apt-get install teamspeak-client
[11:15] <cluelessperson> celexi, "server"
[11:15] <jellow> cluelessperson: clarify what you're trying to do install the client or server?
[11:16] <SquRoFL> aliman: crappy linux support, bad voice codec, etc.
[11:16] <cluelessperson> celexi, aliman jellow   Bad Voice Codec?
[11:16] <cluelessperson> It's free
[11:16] <SquRoFL> skype doesn't support stereo sudio even
[11:16] <cluelessperson> only commercializing it costs money
[11:16] <SquRoFL> audio*
[11:16] <celexi> i didn't say anything about skype
[11:17] <aliman> so what should i use? i am a truck driver and i need to talk home. but my wife uses her galaxy s4 and she has skype. what can we both use and is not crappy?
[11:17] <celexi> if you use chrome or chromium
[11:17] <celexi> hangouts
[11:17] <aliman> celexi i did talked about skype
[11:17] <SquRoFL> a phone
[11:17] <SquRoFL> "my wife has a cell phone. i need to talk to her."
[11:17] <cluelessperson> First.   Teamspeak Servers are free, unless you use a 3rd party server.  Teamspeak is free to user and run, unless you commercialize it.  Their codecs are actually pretty good, very little latency, and it's easy to use.
[11:18] <cluelessperson> aliman, Phones are crappy, probably because of monopolies.
[11:18] <celexi> hangouts or imessage are usually the best working these days
[11:18] <aliman> SquRoFL i was thinking for something cheapper :))
[11:18] <SquRoFL> you don;t have unlimited talk?
[11:18] <cluelessperson> celexi, I REFUSE to use google hangouts or anything related to google plus
[11:18] <aliman> nop
[11:18] <SquRoFL> those kinds of plans still exist?
[11:18] <cluelessperson> I will not be forced.
[11:18] <SquRoFL> i thougth everyone had unlim talk nowadays
[11:18] <celexi> well he probabyl wants to video also
[11:19] <celexi> so those unlimited minutes will be useless for that
[11:19] <aliman> well i do have that but only when i am in my country. not on roaming
[11:19] <SquRoFL> well, teamspeak does not do video.
[11:19] <celexi> well cluelessperson
[11:19] <celexi> and aliman
[11:19] <celexi> there is also viber
[11:19] <aliman> celexi ??
[11:19] <celexi> i believe viber has a linux client
[11:20] <celexi> and telegram but i have no idea if telegram has voip
[11:20] <celexi> anyway im out !
[11:20] <SquRoFL> seeya
[11:20] <jellow> !voip | for anyone interested in alternatives
[11:20] <aliman> yes man i know that i usually use whatsapp actualy but i was talking about something that i can use video call you know? thats why i chosed skype
[11:20] <cluelessperson> Teamspeak is extremely popular in the gaming community, I have a large user base already on my servers.
[11:20] <SquRoFL> aliman: if you're using linux, good luck getting skype video to work
[11:20] <cluelessperson> I'm not going to swap servers without a very good reason.
[11:21] <SquRoFL> unless it works now, used to not work.
[11:21] <celexi> works fine for me
[11:21] <celexi> but i am on fedora not ubuntu not sure if its broken there
[11:21] <SquRoFL> huh, okay
[11:21] <dasjoe> cluelessperson: you don't want to set up teamspeak, but refuse to acknowledge that and still want to use it
[11:21] <aliman> SquRoFL i use skype and video call works just fine now but the prob is that the person i talk with cannot hear me i don't know whats the prob.
[11:22] <SquRoFL> audio settings in skype, possibly your mic isnt set up.
[11:22] <cluelessperson> dasjoe, That's not what I said.  I said that the existing tutorials I've found are poorly done, and was asking if anyone else had managed it.
[11:22] <jellow> aliman: look at wiki you need to mess around with pulseaudio and alsa
[11:22] <dasjoe> cluelessperson: so, just set up mumble which not only is free, but open-source, too
[11:22] <SquRoFL> options > audio settings or something similar, make sure your mic works
[11:22] <aliman> SquRoFL i set it up and is all ok
[11:22] <dasjoe> Also, its positional audio plugins are awesome ;)
[11:23] <aliman> SquRoFL esti roman?
[11:23] <cluelessperson> dasjoe, I have a player base of over 100 players that play on my server regularly, I'm not just changing to mumble without a very good reason
[11:23] <cluelessperson> Stop recommending mumble, not happening.
[11:23] <dasjoe> cluelessperson: "Teamspeak is a hassle to install and I can't find a good tutorial" is a pretty good reason
[11:23] <SquRoFL> everyone! (besidesaliman) he's looking for video chat, skype is broken, and he's literally just looking for a decent linux-and-android client that does okay video chat
[11:24] <SquRoFL> not how to set up a teamspeak/mumbe/etc server.
[11:24] <cluelessperson> dasjoe, I didn't say that.  I said that people seem not to have produced proper installations for it yet.
[11:24] <aliman> SquRoFL yeah thx
[11:24] <jellow> cluelessperson: it is in repo it is just a matter of running apt-get install
[11:25] <SquRoFL> he doesn't seem like the kind of person that'd want to ruin a server just to call home.
[11:25] <SquRoFL> run*
[11:25] <aliman> yeah haha right
[11:25] <SquRoFL> ther's ooVoo, but good luck with that on linux
[11:25] <SquRoFL> nope.
[11:26] <SquRoFL> also, aliman: what's the reason for the no google?
[11:27] <aliman> what do you mean?
[11:28] <SquRoFL> why don't you wanna use hangouts?
[11:28] <SquRoFL> it's fantastic.
[11:29] <aliman> can i use video on hangouts?
[11:29] <SquRoFL> yes
[11:29] <SquRoFL> very well.
[11:29] <SquRoFL> better than skype even.
[11:29] <aliman> well...i didn't know that
[11:29] <SquRoFL> that's the entire point of hangouts lmfao
[11:30] <aliman> i have that on my nexus 6 i use hangouts for masseging and whatsapp as well but didn't know hangouts uses video call
[11:30] <SquRoFL> yeah, just add your wife on google+, then switch her convo to hangouts and not SMS when you wanan do a video call.
[11:30] <SquRoFL> press the camera icon to do a video call.
[11:31] <aliman> hangouts is only for android or can it be used on ubuntu?
[11:31] <SquRoFL> it's web-based.
[11:31] <SquRoFL> http://www.google.com/hangouts/
[11:32] <lewis1711> when I restart my computer, or when the computer sleeps, I have to manually connect to my wireless network. "Automatically connect to this network when available" is enabled. any ideas?
[11:32] <aliman> i need chrome for hangouts
[11:32] <cluelessperson> SquRoFL, Because google attempted to force usage of google plus
[11:33] <cluelessperson> SquRoFL, They should have been sued out of their minds for buying youtube, and forcing everyone to full accounts on another service.  That should be considered some sort of fraud.
[11:33] <SquRoFL> lewis1711 fsck -f -y /dev/hdb1
[11:33] <SquRoFL> who did they defraud?
[11:34] <cluelessperson> SquRoFL, maybe fraud isn't the right term, doesn't matter.
[11:34] <SquRoFL> how is skype any better? microsoft bought them, now required a windows live ID
[11:34] <bazhang> !ot | cluelessperson SquRoFL
[11:34] <SquRoFL> same damn shit
[11:34] <dreamcat4> hello. i am having trouble with file permissions on core files. it won't save them to a folder unless that folder is chmod 777....
[11:34] <jellow> SquRoFL: I'm still a newb but how does fsck help with lewis1711 wireless problem ?
[11:35] <Paradisee> hello
[11:35] <cluelessperson> SquRoFL, They didn't create a windows live account for you, and my old skype credentials still work fine.
[11:35] <Paradisee> how do i resize a lvm partition with ubuntu?
[11:35] <dreamcat4> ... even if the user who owns the folder is same as the one who crashes (creates core file)
[11:35] <SquRoFL> jellow: it was a joke, the linux equivalent of "format C after deleting system32"
[11:36] <SquRoFL> Paradisee: i think ubuntu's disk utility can do that, if not, live boot something like partition master
[11:36] <aliman> cluelessperson skype works fine for me to the only problem is the one with the mic. and i cannot fix it
[11:36] <Paradisee> that's what im trying to do
[11:36] <SquRoFL> hold on
[11:37] <SquRoFL> got a blank cd and a burner?
[11:37] <aliman> how can i burn cd's on ubuntu? if i want to make a music cd
[11:37] <SquRoFL> http://www.partitionwizard.com/partition-wizard-bootable-cd.html download the ISO, burn it, boopt from it
[11:38] <SquRoFL> tada, diskwizared can do what you want.
[11:38] <jellow> !burn | aliman
[11:39] <SquRoFL> yeah, Paradisee: downlaod the ISO from that page, insert blank CD, right click iso wherever you DL'ed it to, "write to disc"
[11:40] <SquRoFL> then boot from it like when you installed ubuntu
[11:40] <SquRoFL> f12, esc, del, whatever
[11:40] <SquRoFL> f12 on a dell
[11:40] <SquRoFL> enter on a stinkpad
[11:41] <Paradisee> SquRoFL: im already in gparted
[11:41] <SquRoFL> oh
[11:41] <SquRoFL> hur dur
[11:42] <SquRoFL> what format is the LVM

[11:48] <ioria> derrzzaa,   i  have  never had problems  with  realtek and atheros  chipset

[11:51] <C0r3> Hey.. I have a question.
[11:52] <jellow> !ask | C0r3  :)
[11:53] <C0r3> I've installed Docky on my Ubuntu 14.04. When I'm running VirtualBox and a Virtual Machine in another window I want it to give a live preview in my Dock. Is that possible?
[11:58] <C0r3> jellow: Do you have any idea?
[12:01] <jellow> C0r3: No afraid not, I've never used Docky. I use mate and just use multiple desktops if I need to monitor more than one app running.
[12:06] <jellow> C0r3: I saw you tried #docky , They also have  mailing list (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/docky-dock). Or wait around and perhaps someone will know :)
[12:10] <C0r3> jellow, Thank you for your response.
[12:10] <jellow> C0r3: Please disregard my comment on mailing list as it appears to be dead. Would not waste your time.

[12:27] <aliman> no1 to talk with
[12:29] <aliman> guys do you think is ok if i have only 1 partition on my hdd? or should i have 2 one with the system and one for rest?
[12:30] <jellow> aliman: my preference is one for system and one for /home
[12:31] <aliman> if i reinstall the system and iwant to make 2 part what do i need to do?
[12:31] <danbower> hi. i created the following thread but seems that forum is pretty quiet. i'd appreciate if someone could help me with a boot issue i'm getting after installing 14.02: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2271309
[12:33] <aliman> danbower sorry m8 i'm not qualified :) i just started to use linux yday so....i would like to help you but...
[12:33] <jellow> aliman: you've got to select one partition / ( system ) and one /home, may even be an option not sure been a while since I re-installed
[12:35] <vooze_> Hi, (14.04) clean install. During boot before the plash screen or maybe during grub, it "flickers" and looks like loading an image with a very slow connection. What could cause this? GPU, grub-settings, high dpi display or what?
[12:39] <danbower> vooze_, you might want to install proprietary graphic card drivers
[12:39] <BluesKaj> vooze_, what does the image show ..an Icon/logo ?
[12:43] <nik_> Hi I have installed apache on ubuntu
[12:43] <hjem> f
[12:43] <nik_> and ssl is not working
[12:43] <hjem> ssl?
[12:43] <hjem> sure
[12:43] <hjem> ssl
[12:44] <nik_> I mean all the https urls are not working
[12:44] <hjem> oh then
[12:44] <nik_> I am getting an error
[12:44] <nik_> ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)
[12:44] <nik_>     The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
[12:44] <Agent_Smith1> A program has asked which browser to use to open it, if I should choose to use Firefox, where would I locate the file to use?
[12:45] <nik_> /usr/bin
[12:45] <nik_> ?
[12:46] <ikonia> Agent_Smith1: the "file" ?
[12:46] <ikonia> do you mean the firefox binary /
[12:47] <nik_> did anyone had this issue before?
[12:48] <ikonia> nik_: sounds like your cert has been signed with an untrusted CA
[12:49] <ikonia> nik_: or your going through a proxy/router thats changing the payload
[12:49] <nik_> I have verified the apache ssl config
[12:49] <ikonia> nik_: how have you verified ?
[12:49] <nik_> /etc/apache2/site-enabled/default-ssl.conf
[12:49] <ikonia> thats a file
[12:49] <nik_> yes
[12:49] <ikonia> I'm asking how you verified
[12:49] <ikonia> not what is the file name
[12:50] <nik_> it ssl conf file for apache
[12:50] <ikonia> yes I know
[12:50] <ikonia> I'm asking how you verified the SSL conf and the cert and CA
[12:50] <nik_> I haven't done that
[12:50] <hjem> hi
[12:50] <nik_> not sure how to do
[12:50] <hjem> h
[12:51] <hjem> -h
[12:51] <ikonia> is this for childrensplace.com ?
[12:51] <nik_> no
[12:51] <hjem> no
[12:51] <ikonia> hjem: please don't do that
[12:52] <nik_> for my personal use
[12:52] <nik_> did you find that out from computer name?
[12:52] <ikonia> nik_: so first of all look at your virtual conf for ssl see what the _default is set to, second verify your certificate chain, third make sure you're not using a proxy that may be mangling it

[13:08] <gnox> Hey guys, just installed Ubuntu 15.04 Beta 2
[13:08] <lotuspsychje> gnox: join #ubuntu+1 for vivid please
[13:09] <gnox> lotuspsychje: ok - sry for posting in the wrong channel
[13:09] <lotuspsychje> gnox: no sweat ; )
[13:11] <Lord_Phoenix> Hello again everyone
[13:11] <lotuspsychje> Lord_Phoenix: welcome
[13:11] <Lord_Phoenix> I've been here yesterday struggling with Bumblebee as well as nvidia-prime after recent kernel update
[13:11] <yorwos> hi all, im having problem using my firewire camera as webcam . its panasonic dvx100 , i can capture through kino but webcamstudio and my chat programs cant see it
[13:12] <Lord_Phoenix> Has anyone else having such problems after update?
[13:12] <Lord_Phoenix> Just can't make any of those to work :(
[13:12] <lotuspsychje> Lord_Phoenix: bumblebee is outdated mate, install nvidia-prime only for an optimus card
[13:12] <lotuspsychje> Lord_Phoenix: wich ubuntu version are you on?
[13:12] <Lord_Phoenix> nvidia-prime boots in low graphics mode and bumblebee cannot switch to second GPU
[13:12] <Lord_Phoenix> =(
[13:12] <Lord_Phoenix> 14.10
[13:13] <lotuspsychje> Lord_Phoenix: well if you want stable, i would goto 14.04 with nvidia-prime
[13:13] <lotuspsychje> Lord_Phoenix: if staying on 14.10 you can try fix broken packages from grub recoverymode perhaps
[13:15] <Ida_> How can I check which qt5 version I have installed?
[13:15] <Lord_Phoenix> Well, it's been working for me for last half a year :)
[13:15] <Lord_Phoenix> Just can't figure out what went wrong :-\
[13:17] <lotuspsychje> Ida_: apt-cache policy qt5
[13:20] <Lord_Phoenix> lotuspsychje, there is no broken packages that's the problem
[13:20] <lotuspsychje> Lord_Phoenix: try a nomodeset perhaps
[13:21] <lotuspsychje> !nomodeset | Lord_Phoenix
[13:22] <love3> Linux really has to fix the boot screen issues, so many flickers and glitches and that's when it displays properly
[13:23] <lotuspsychje> love3: no flickering here...maybe you should fix your issues on your machine
[13:23] <Lord_Phoenix> lotuspsychje, but that can help only with low graph with prime, right, because bumblebee loads driver only on optirun call or?
[13:23] <love3> Lol, how many machines shipped doa to me lately
[13:24] <alfatau> hello all. my question is about maintenance-mode. if i switch to runlevel 1, is there a way to unmount the root filesystem for maintenance (e.g. fsck, resize2fs...) without booting with a livecd?
[13:25] <archip> alfatau: why not just use the recovery mode from grub?
[13:27] <alfatau> archip: well i'd like to know if i can definitively avoid a new server boot.
[13:27] <love3> Does ubuntu come with a warranty
[13:28] <Guest79134> ?
[13:28] <yeats> alfatau: why would you avoid using a live CD?  that would be the natural choice for what you're doing.
[13:28] <llutz> alfatau: you can't
[13:29] <lotuspsychje> love3: warranty for what? its opensource
[13:29] <yeats> love3: no
[13:29] <royer> hey
[13:29] <love3> What if it breaks
[13:29] <llutz> love3: fix it
[13:29] <royer> how old are u ?
[13:29] <yeats> love3: you can get paid support if you need it
[13:29] <love3> Hmm, logical
[13:30] <yeats> !ot | royer
[13:30] <love3> Thanks
[13:33] <love3> Does ubuntu ever apologize?
[13:34] <yeats> love3: what are you asking?
[13:34] <love3> Does it say sorry when apps crash
[13:34] <love3> I kinda appreciate that
[13:34] <yorwos> my mini-dv firewire camera dvx100 can be seen by Kino , but no other program can see it so i can use it as a webcam , any ideas ?
[13:35] <yeats> love3: you can enable automatic crash/bug reports, but no, there's not an apology - why would you expect that?
[13:35]  * archip facepalms
[13:35] <love3> I didn't that's why I asked.
[13:35] <nikola_> hello i have the following problem, i am with ubuntu 14.04 64bit, and i run win 8.1 on vmware, the poblem is that when i install some program it takes too much space from the virtual drive
[13:36] <yeats> love3: do you have an ubuntu support question, or are you just making conversation?  #ubuntu-offtopic would be more appropriate
[13:36] <llutz> nikola_: resize your virtual drive then
[13:37] <yorwos> i have no video1394  raw1394 in my /dev/ list
[13:37] <love3> Ooh okay kinda both I'll separate the things I say
[13:37] <nikola_> it will full my drive very fast for program that shuld be 5gb it takes 50gb
[13:37] <yeats> nikola_: ask in #vmware or ##windows
[13:38] <nikola_> ok thanks
[13:43] <simon_g> hi
[13:44] <naftilos76> I just tried to add into /etc/sudoers an exception for me (user naftilos76) to execute "iptables -S" but it just does not work. What i did is this: User_Alias RAILS_CONTROL_PANNEL_USER = naftilos76 , Cmnd_Alias RAILS_CP_COMMANDS = /sbin/iptables -S , RAILS_CONTROL_PANNEL_USER ALL=(root) NOPASSWD:RAILS_CP_COMMANDS . I reboot my ubuntu vps and when i connect via ssh as naftilos76 i get permission denied when i enter "iptables -S" . Can anybody suggest
[13:44] <naftilos76> what i am doing wrong?
[13:44] <naftilos76> Ubuntu ver is 14.04
[13:45] <archip> naftilos76: you did put sudo before the command right? (sudo iptables)
[13:45] <archip> ah wait you tried to add the executable to sudo
[13:45] <archip> derp
[13:45] <naftilos76> If i do i get asked for the passwd
[13:46] <naftilos76> it should work but it doesn't
[13:46] <EriC^^> naftilos76, you always get asked for the password
[13:46] <naftilos76> But i used the directive 'NOPASSWD'
[13:46] <naftilos76> this is why i used it
[13:47] <naftilos76> to not be asked for the passwd
[13:47] <naftilos76> !
[13:47] <naftilos76> right?
[13:47] <EriC^^> naftilos76, just add <user> ALL= NOPASSWD:/sbin/iptables -S
[13:49] <naftilos76> i am still getting permission denied. Should i reboot?
[13:49] <danbower> hi. if there's anyone familiar with grub/install issues, i'd really appreciate some help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2271309
[13:49] <danbower> forum seems a bit quiet :/
[13:49] <naftilos76> I exited my ssh session and got back in and i still get perm denied
[13:50] <naftilos76> EriC^^ : any ideas?

[14:01] <simon_g> where does the ubuntu 15.04 keeps the xorg configuration? my touchpad works fine in ubuntu out of the box only, on other distributions i have to configure it. i cannot find /etc/X11/xorg.conf so i cannot copy the detailed configuration
[14:01] <cfhowlett> !ubuntu+1 | simon_g
[14:03] <danemacmillan> Hi, does Truecrypt 7.1a work with the latest Ubuntu?
[14:03] <simon_g> ok thanks cfhowlett
[14:03] <cfhowlett> simon_g, happy2help!
[14:03] <simon_g> just out of interest, if that would be 14.10 where would the configuration be stored?
[14:04] <cfhowlett> simon_g, no idea.  sorry.
[14:04] <simon_g> also- how can i configure the unity to be able to move window to the right/up/left/minimize by pressing the win+ right/up/left/down arrow (like in gnome 3 or windows)?
[14:05] <simon_g> i can do the same by just moving window into the side, but i prefer the keyboard solution
[14:05] <Edu-J> could you recommend any to-do like app, please? ^^
[14:06] <Edu-J> for desktop, not browser
[14:06] <Tin_man> Osmo
[14:07] <Tin_man> it's in your software center
[14:08] <Tin_man> Edu-J, the above was for you Osmo personal info manager
[14:09] <Edu-J> thx Tin_man, I'm taking a look ;)
[14:09] <Moonsilence> Hi! I just installed Ubuntu Desktop on my netbook and find that by default windows, buttons, fonts, etc. are too big for the small screen and are clipped. Some windows don't fit onto screen and there is no way to see the bottom part of the window. How can I make everything proportionally smaller? I am absolutely new to ubuntu. Thanks!
[14:11] <cfhowlett> Moonsilence, you might find lubuntu or xubuntu to be better netbook options.  to test the look and feel: sudo apt-get install lxde xfce4                   then logout, choose an alternate session and login
[14:12] <Moonsilence> cfhowlett, thanks, I will try that.
[14:13] <Edu-J> Moonsilence, have you tried setting the correct resolution of your display?
[14:13] <Edu-J> Moonsilence, maybe you have some problem with your graphic card
[14:14] <Tin_man> Moonsilence, you might also download the Unity Tweak Tool
[14:14] <Moonsilence> Edu-J, the native resolution for my screen was automatically found and set during installation.
[14:15] <Edu-J> Moonsilence, have a try with Unity Tweak Tool as Tin_man says
[14:16] <Moonsilence> Thanks, Tin_man

[14:32] <Basketballl> Hi
[14:32] <IdleOne> cfhowlett: You need to change your tone when helping, if you don't feel like answering then I suggest you don't. Your help in here is greatly appreciated but I will not tolerate what appears to be a less than nice attitude from you.
[14:33] <cfhowlett> IdleOne, noted.  sorry

[14:34] <mzaza> mp3user: What is that :D ?
[14:35] <sda> hi all, I have an expanding file "RAW" when I write inside it, it expands. But when I delete it doesnt compact. How can I compact the file?
[14:35] <mp3user> mzaza: have the right to edit my .htaccess with wordpress
[14:36] <Basketballl> Idle any ideas
[14:37] <TheNumb> Basketballl: there used to be an application called remastersys but I don't know if it's still being developed.
[14:37] <dream> byebye
[14:38] <Basketballl> The number I tried that but it screwed up my pc
[14:38] <Basketballl> It turned my current install into a live install
[14:39] <IdleOne> Basketballl: I was going to suggest remastersys also
[14:39] <Basketballl> Are you supposed to select distribution or backup
[14:41] <degva> Hello Guys, how can I know which driver is being used for my gamepad?
[14:42] <sda> hi all, I have an expanding file "RAW" when I write inside it, it expands. But when I delete it doesnt compact. How can I compact the file?
[14:43] <TheNumb> sda: err
[14:43] <TheNumb> sda: what do you use it for?
[14:44] <photon> I have a bunch of files (audio, video, personal files). Is it a bad idea to only allow the owner read and write permissions, and remove all group/other permissions? I can't think of any reason not to do this, and it can't hurt and should increase security.
[14:45] <binOp> Hey!
[14:45] <sda> TheNumb, I use as block device. ext4 formatted. When I delete the file I also "recover" the space whiping the used space with zerofree
[14:46] <archip> photon: you can do it but will only play a role in systems with more than 1 user
[14:46] <TheNumb> sda: so you want to shrink the filesystem right?
[14:46] <TheNumb> sda: man resize2fs
[14:48] <sda> TheNumb, No, I will keep the maximum size of the file as 300GB but the actual space used is less, When I add file inside it it grows but never shrink

[14:53] <orp> hi there
[14:53] <orp> any one have problems with grep on new ubuntu ?
[14:53] <orp> i can't use -v option
[14:54] <orp> it don't work at all
[14:54] <orp> it work in al linux i used
[14:54] <SchrodingersScat> orp: can you give an example of it not working that you can share with us?
[14:54] <orp> yes
[14:55] <orp> if i touch 1 2 3 4 5 in a var as example
[14:55] <orp> and i ls | grep -v 4
[14:55] <orp> if i echo the var it should return 4
[14:55] <orp> it does return at all
[14:56] <orp> it list all 12345
[14:56] <MrElendig> orp: you should not ls | grep anyway :p
[14:56] <orp> why
[14:56] <orp> if grep works fine on redhat
[14:56] <MrElendig> http://mywiki.wooledge.org/ParsingLs
[14:57] <MrElendig> orp: if ls gives you all 5 files on the same line then ofcourse grep will show the the whole line
[14:57] <MrElendig> if part of the line match
[14:57] <SchrodingersScat> If I touch 1 2 3 4 5 ; then ls | grep -v 4 ; I get 1\n2\n3\n5
[14:57] <MrElendig> as a sidenote
[14:58] <SchrodingersScat> MrElendig: -v is invert, so if 4 was there it shouldn't show the line
[14:59] <orp> yes
[14:59] <orp> that is the target
[14:59] <orp> but it don't work at all
[14:59] <orp> i don't know what happens
[14:59] <MrElendig> orp: echo 1 2 3 4 5 | grep -v 4
[14:59] <orp> is not working at all
[15:00] <SchrodingersScat> should display nothing
[15:00] <orp> return empty
[15:02] <alfatau> hello all. is there a safe way to switch to maintenance/rescue mode and execute maintenance tasks using ssh? i.e. systemctl rescue causes networking and sshd to be stopped. any other way? should I create a custom target which is a "clone" of rc1.d but with networking and ssh?
[15:02] <MrElendig> orp: so grep is working fine
[15:02] <MrElendig> orp: really, stop doing ls | grep
[15:02] <alfatau> otherwise, what is a best-practice for this kind of tasks
[15:02] <alfatau> ?
[15:02] <MrElendig> use find(1) or globbing
[15:02] <orp> ok
[15:03] <MrElendig> https://bpaste.net/show/7abf0c711d5f
[15:05] <orp> thanks mate that will sort it
[15:05] <MrElendig> if you use zsh then you can ^4
[15:05] <orp> no have to be bash
[15:05] <solsTiCe> MrElendig: hi. so you're in #ubuntu now :-(
[15:06] <degva> Hey guys, does anybody know where I can get help on gamepads?
[15:06] <MrElendig> solsTiCe: from time to time
[15:06] <solsTiCe> ok
[15:07] <MrElendig> with bash you can do set extglob and (!4)
[15:07] <MrElendig> er... !(4)
[15:08] <MrElendig> or whatever the syntax is
[15:08] <degva> nobody? :/
[15:08] <solsTiCe> so I have mounted a samba share via nautilus and I want root to be able to access it (to dd an iso from the share). But he can't. Is there a trick so that can root can access it or I need to mount the share with mount as root.
[15:08] <MrElendig> https://bpaste.net/show/5481c4180c5d
[15:09] <MrElendig> what is the error?
[15:10] <MrElendig> also you might not want to dd directly from the samba share
[15:11] <solsTiCe> # LANG=C cd /run/user/1000/gvfs
[15:11] <solsTiCe> -bash: cd: /run/user/1000/gvfs: Permission denied
[15:11] <solsTiCe> that's what I do. I copy from the share to the user home so that root can dd from that. but that's anoying.
[15:12] <MrElendig> just mount it as root using mount
[15:12] <solsTiCe> here is what root sees of gvfs dir: d?????????  ? ?        ?          ?              ? gvfs/
[15:12] <solsTiCe> that's weird. I wonder how nautilus can do that
[15:15] <llutz> solsTiCe: nautilus uses gvfs, gnome-virtual-file-system to mount that. therefore only the user nautilus runs as has access. mount the share manually, then you can give mount-options for other users access
[15:16] <thunder_kk> i have bought a bluetooth keyboard but many of its keys are not working. it works well in windows but not ubuntu. please help me
[15:21] <MrElendig> thunder_kk: what keys?
[15:21] <MrElendig> thunder_kk: multimedia keys?
[15:22] <thunder_kk> MrElendig: all keys like "a,b,c,d,,," all keys
[15:22] <MrElendig> what keyboard is this?
[15:22] <MrElendig> and what does dmesg and xinput say about it?
