[10:57] <jeregon> what processor do you have?
[10:57] <wahsbai> i have intel i7 2600k
[10:57] <Keba> hi there
[10:58] <wahsbai> i been having these graphical issues since i installed
[10:58] <randypfau> i have 4 partitions mounted for samba shares... 2 ntfs and 2 are ext4... for some reason when i go on a remote machine running windows 7 i am able to access the shares.. i set up the permissions for all of the shares the same. i cannot write to the ext4 shares. anyone have this problem ever? did i miss somthing?
[10:58] <jeregon> wahsbai: hmmm, well you could try using it's on board video to work with light weight stuff for a while instead
[10:58] <wahsbai> well the intel integrated cpu works perfect
[10:58] <wahsbai> no issues
[10:59] <jeregon> meaning!?
[10:59] <wahsbai> if i go into BIOS and select iGFX as my GPU primary, it uses intel hd 3000 graphics instead of my nvidia card that doesnt run
[10:59] <wahsbai> all the problem comes with having an nvidia card
[11:00] <Keba> Im using Ubuntu 12.04 with XFCE and updated my system yesterday. After a reboot the windows lack the "close, maximize, minimize" bars and all my XFCE settings (such as shortcut for maximize) are not loaded, I only have one workspace etc. How to fix that?
[11:00] <wahsbai> jeregon, im going to approach this issue in a different kind of way
[11:00] <jeregon> ok so, you've tried it haha... in what kind of new way?
[11:09] <ItsYoda> Would running "do-release-upgrade" on a dedicated server with just a commandline be a *bad* idea?
[11:10] <cfhowlett> ItsYoda after a proper backup of data?  don't see why it should be.
[11:10] <ItsYoda> Mk. Thanks
[11:12] <noobhere> hello, im new to ubuntu from windows, want to play games with steam but im having issuses, the resolution keeps switching around, and getting black screens between that for few seconds
[11:12] <noobhere> first time installing
[11:15] <noobhere> i got this error Could not switch the monitor configuration                          could not set the configuration for CRTC 9
[11:21] <ichat> hi when running minecraft, it seams that it somehow locks sound to just java (so for example i cant play background music),  version is  13.10  java versions test are  open jdk  7 and   oracle java 8.
[11:22] <ichat> on a diferent pc it works but i cant figure out what is diferent about it...

[11:27] <penthief> Does anyone have acestream running on 14.04?
[11:27] <daniel664> howto: did u get it sorted?
[11:30] <howto> kinda, reinstalling ubuntu.
[11:30] <iDaniel> howto: k
[11:31] <iDaniel> howto: install the 13.10 instead
[11:31] <iDaniel> howto: if 14.04 doesn't work better or as good as 13.10 i'll downgrade
[11:31] <howto> a question though, if I select Erase disk and install Ubuntu, which disk will it erase?
[11:31] <Ben64> theres no reason to install 13.10
[11:31] <iDaniel> howto: no idea
[11:31] <iDaniel> howto: just choose manual setup
[11:31] <Ben64> 13.10 loses support in less than 3 months
[11:32] <iDaniel> Ben64: nah i installed 14.04 on a friends comp and it crashed each hours
[11:32] <iDaniel> hour*
[11:32] <howto> I'm guessing sda?
[11:32] <Ben64> ok, that still doesn't make it a good idea to install 13.10
[11:32] <iDaniel> mmmm yeah
[11:32] <iDaniel> you're right maybe 12.04 would be better
[11:32] <Ben64> or figure out the problem and use 14.04
[11:33] <iDaniel> mmmm that takes time....
[11:33] <howto> Anyone?
[11:33] <iDaniel> howto: choose manual setup
[11:33] <Ben64> howto: whichever disk it tells you it will erase
[11:33] <howto> cause my data in sdb is very important
[11:33] <Ben64> have backups or unplug that drive then to be sure
[11:33] <iDaniel> can't u see on for example the label which partitaion is which
[11:33] <josmala> Upgraded to 14.04 and no panels in gnome flashback mode(metacity) and gnome flashback mode (compiz) has only unity style side menu.
[11:34] <peterpacz1> How do install lubuntu and xubuntu on top of ubuntu - Hey, how could install the xfce and lxde desktop managers on top of ubuntu, so I can choose which one I want to use at the grub boot menu?
[11:34] <iDaniel> mmm afaik u can just install them with for example tasksel and choose when u login....
[11:34] <Ben64> peterpacz1: you wouldn't choose them at grub, you'd choose when you're logging into ubuntu.
[11:34] <iDaniel> lol 2 seconds difference
[11:35] <peterpacz1> Ben64: Yes, something like that. I'd wish have all the files, system settings, etc the same. Just that I have the choice to choose the desktop manager
[11:35] <iDaniel> are that important changes to my apache2.conf ?
[11:35] <peterpacz1> How would I do that?
[11:35] <iDaniel> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/1Tty2OP8
[11:35] <howto> So we need an efi partition, about 200 mb, anything else?
[11:35] <iDaniel> howto: swap
[11:35] <iDaniel> howto: and system partition
[11:35] <josmala> How can I get the gnome classic experience in 14.04
[11:36] <iDaniel> peterpacz1: i think that would work if you just install them in tasksel
[11:36] <Ben64> peterpacz1: then use the software center and install either the xfce and/or lxde or the whole packages, like xubuntu-desktop and/or lubuntu-desktop. doing the latter will give you extra terminals and text editors and stuff, not sure if you want all that
[11:36] <howto> iDaniel: how big should they be?
[11:36] <iDaniel> howto: which?
[11:36] <iDaniel> howto: swap is if your ram is full
[11:36] <iDaniel> howto: then it writes to swap instead
[11:36] <iDaniel> howto: so if u have like 32GB ram
[11:36] <howto> Lol I have 16gb of ram
[11:36] <iDaniel> howto: u can take a small swapo
[11:36] <iDaniel> howto: take 4GB
[11:37] <iDaniel> howto: better then a too small one
[11:37] <iDaniel> howto: or how large is your hdd?
[11:37] <peterpacz1> Ben64: Thanks. I am doing this because I have a install of ubuntu on a portable hard drive, and I'd want to use it to boot into other computers, both high end and low end. So is installing different display managers a good idea?
[11:37] <iDaniel> (mine is 2TB so it doesn't matter)
[11:38] <Ben64> peterpacz1: depends what you want. it definitely wouldn't hurt anything to have multiple
[11:38] <howto> Ok, just efi and swap?
[11:38] <iDaniel> howto: yeah and then the system partition....
[11:38] <iDaniel> howto: if u have an old computer without efi you don't ned one :)
[11:38] <peterpacz1> Ben64: Well, Id want it to work on all sorts of computers, redundency in a sense. So if the computer couldn't cope with unity, I can use xfce, for example.
[11:39] <Ben64> peterpacz1: makes sense
[11:39]  * iDaniel records the whole upgrade process with 1fps for sure
[11:39] <linuxuser1000> LOL
[11:40] <peterpacz1> Ben64: Also, in the sake of redundency, would I also need to install multiple wireless drivers, in order to compensate if someone's computer is using broadcom, for example?
[11:40] <linuxuser1000> I Just got steam installed and a guy tried phishing me

[11:58] <vak> hi all, are bugs of Ubuntu 14.04 to be discussed here?
[11:58] <cfhowlett> !bug|vak
[11:59] <vak> cfhowlett: i'd like to ask first...)
[11:59] <cfhowlett> vak share but don't expect instantaneous results unless you've paid for platinum level support :)
[12:00] <vak> I am experiencing a bug: upon login mouse stops to react on any clicks, when I press Alt-Ctrl-F1 and then back Alt-Ctrl-F7 it all works fine then
[12:00] <Luyin> my keyboard keeps switching to "en (us)" without my doing anything. the indicator keeps showing "de" for german, but the keys are all switched. is there anything I can do about that?
[12:05] <vak> ok, filing a bug...
[12:08] <hero616> what lib or api is suitable for drawing dynamic curve like cpu utilization
[12:15] <An_Ony_Moose> does rsync's -z affect local copy operations at all, or does it only apply when transferring data via network?
[12:17] <nezZario> Only network, An_Ony_Moose
[12:18] <An_Ony_Moose> nezZario: ok, thanks!
[12:18] <nezZario> It wouldn't make sense to compress the "transfer" for a mv operation -- it only compresses the transfer, not the destination / end result =)
[12:19] <nezZario> So guys, I've been a ltitle annoyed with Ubuntu lately.  No matter what, it seems determined to make me walk into the next room everytime I have to reboot
[12:20] <An_Ony_Moose> nezZario: I know, I was asking because I wasn't sure if it wouldn't be better to leave out -z for my thing
[12:20] <An_Ony_Moose> (habit makes me type -avzP :P )
[12:21] <nezZario> For one, I added some entries to /etc/fstab for three USB drives .. When I boot and the usb drives aren't present, it prompts me during boot .. This is a headless home server.  What's making it do that?
[12:21] <nezZario> An_Ony_Moose: I'm pretty sure -z will have no effect for local tranasfers
[12:21] <nezZario> So it's OK that you have it
[12:22] <howto> hello again
[12:22] <howto> i have one more question
[12:22] <Blarghy> Hey guys.  I just installed Xubuntu 14.04 and when I ran aticonfig --intial, it blew out my ath9k wifi.

[12:26] <howto> apparently dns leaks is a known windows issue
[12:26] <howto> i guess this is a 14.04 bug maybe?
[12:26] <howto> anyway, how can i fix it?
[12:27] <jack> cfhowlett: slow link, big files...
[12:27] <howto> any idea?
[12:28] <cfhowlett> jack understood.  lots of free games on steam and in ubuntu software center
[12:28] <jack> better to ask first (downloading already anyway)
[12:28] <howto> also, jack, i think you should consider asking that in #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:28] <Blarghy> Hey guys.  I just installed Xubuntu 14.04 and when I ran aticonfig --intial, it blew out my ath9k wifi. help?
[12:29] <jack> but i didnt check out steam at all yet
[12:29] <nezZario> Blarghy: what do you mean it "blew out" your wifi?
[12:29] <krishna_> blew out?
[12:29] <Blarghy> nezZario, it was working, I ran aticonfig --initial, restarted my system and now it doesn't work
[12:29] <Blarghy> it's still listed in ifconfig and iwconfig

[12:31] <nezZario> No idea on plain 'ol sendmail...
[12:32] <howto> anyone having the same issue?
[12:33] <llutz> smack: use sendmails access database<EMAIL_ADDRESS>REJECT
[12:33] <cfhowlett> jack sure it's not a vpn configuration issue?
[12:33] <Node_753> my screen goes black for a few seconds when i go into different system settings, like display, audio, etc, why is that
[12:34] <Node_753> starting to get annoying

[12:35] <nezZario> yeah, that's because network access is performed using a different user
[12:35] <Guest_1255> yey!
[12:35] <Guest_1255> it worked

[12:38] <Guest_1255> grmpf no upgrades
[12:38] <cfhowlett> jack just a thought ...
[12:38] <nezZario> smack: you need to review what binareis they have access to.. if you're really that worried about "sealing off" that user, you might want to do a chrooted shell
[12:38] <nezZario> I mean, you might want to consider it regardless

[13:01] <loucal> I lost power to my ubuntu machine a few days ago while I was out and I have been trying to get things working again with my dual monitor setup ever since.  All my configuration is the same so this has left me scratching my head, I got xorg all straightened out but after about 8 hours my monitors go into standby and I can't get them back.  I can ssh in and reboot it but that's all.  Anyone have any ideas?
[13:02] <dcmg> loucal: i disable all sleep and standby stuff
[13:02] <dcmg> not sure where the setting is in the unity toolbar. i mostly use ubuntu on my moms computer
[13:02] <fstab11> nezZario: oh, i think i got the err: its in /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg
[13:03] <dcmg> but i disable everything to keep things like this from happening, as she is low vision
[13:03] <loucal> dcmg: thanks but that was the first thing I did
[13:03] <loucal> and I don't use unity, I use fluxbox
[13:04] <dcmg> well in that case you really do need to just adjust xorg
[13:04] <fstab11> nezZario: thanks for your help
[13:04] <dcmg> make sure there is no background daemon from unity still running
[13:04] <dcmg> and try making a .Xdefaults file
[13:05] <dcmg> maybe try  `xset s noblank'
[13:06] <dcmg> i runs a script like this:
[13:06] <dcmg> xsetroot -solid black ; xrandr --output CRT1 --mode 1400x1050 ; xset s off ; xset -dpms ; xset s noblank
[13:06] <dcmg> works for me, idk
[13:07] <dcmg> for dual monitors it would be something like:
[13:07] <dcmg> xrandr --auto --output VGA1 --mode 1024x768  --right-of LVDS1
[13:07] <dcmg> replace the designations with your device names from the output of `xrandr'
[13:07] <dcmg> designations are "VGA1" "CRT1"  and et cetera
[13:08] <loucal> yeah I get what you are doing there but that is kind of hacky for something that was working fine for months... I use xset on my machines when I need to do something 'special'...  I reached the point when I was asked whether I wanted to to replace the default applications definition with the updated version. I chose to diff the file, and once i'd reached the end, in a moment of madness, I ctrl-c 'd to get out of the diff. So I have 2 questions: 1. I don't think I got
[13:08] <Staberinde> past the stage of unpacking files for install, but could someone with knowledge with the ordering of the upgrade script please confirm that this is the case? If it's not, just how badly have I screwed things up? 2. In order to run do-release-upgrade again, I need to release the lock left in place by aptitude, can someone tell me where abouts this lock is located? Thanks in advance
[13:08] <dcmg> loucal: well at least you know how to do it now
[13:09] <dcmg> sometimes it takes a hack to fix a borked system
[13:09] <loucal> dcmg... I'm already familiar with it but nothing there is permanent is my point
[13:09] <dcmg> sure there is, put it in your Xdefaults file
[13:10] <dcmg> the syntax is just a little different
[13:10] <loucal> ? xdefaults isnt for bash commands
[13:10] <dcmg> no
[13:10] <dcmg> like here is mine:
[13:10] <dcmg> cat .Xdefaults
[13:10] <dcmg> xterm*background: black
[13:10] <loucal> i know it isn't
[13:10] <dcmg> stuff like that, controls Xorg, xterm and all of its tools
[13:10] <dcmg> anyway you have a nasty attitude
[13:11] <Luyin> hey guys, the alt+f2 command makes my unity crash. does anyone else have this issue?

[13:15] <masterkorp> so what is the procedure to upgrade from an old natty distro ?
[13:15] <loucal> you're welcome not to answer dcmg, I really don't care what you think of my attitude, but I'm simply trying to stop you from wasting your time, also I have in the past tried setting an Xdefaults file as well as an Xresources file and neither settings were picked up so we must have different setups.  Either way, setting everything via xset isn't what I'm trying to do.  Thanks for your help but that solution isn't what I'm looking for.  Is t
[13:15] <loucal> better?
[13:15] <cfhowlett> !eolupgrade|masterkorp but it will take hours.  better to just clean install
[13:15] <masterkorp> ok, all i do its to install skype

[13:20] <ben_xyzzy_> How to I execute a command as root whenever any user logs in via SSH, _without_ PAM?
[13:20] <bekks> ben_xyzzy_: you dont. :)
[13:20] <bekks> ben_xyzzy_: You have to use PAM, since thats the authentication mechanism used.
[13:21] <ben_xyzzy_> I have "UsePAM no" in sshd_config
[13:21] <Thom__> hi
[13:22] <bekks> ben_xyzzy_: But you still log in, and the login on your box uses PAM - sshd itself doesnt.
[13:22] <OerHeks> peterpacz1, i guess you cannot, as it is not saved in .txt format

[13:23] <Bluewolf> When I continue on to report the error it then comes up with (Sorry, ubuntu 14.04 has experienced an internal error - Send an error report to help fix this problem) How can I fix this problem?
[13:26] <llutz> ben_xyzzy_: use /etc/hosts.allow, like "sshd:        ALL:  command...."

[13:29] <ben_xyzzy> llutz: Cheers, that looks good
[13:29] <cfhowlett> falematte clean install, set your /home to the correction partition and DO NOT FORMAT THAT PARTITION
[13:30] <rvdv> falematte: just do a clean install and at the partitioning choose manual ... choose self ...
[13:30] <rvdv> use /mount and indeed DO NOT FORMAT
[13:30] <rvdv> use same user account name and all will go well
[13:31] <falematte> thank you guys, gonna check it out

[13:32] <Bladewolf> Guys, I need help
[13:32] <Bluewolf> My Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is coming up with a (System program problem detected) at random, I have reported the problem but how can I find out what the problem is or fix it?
[13:33] <bekks> Bluewolf: Click on "Details"?
[13:33] <Bladewolf> I'm trying to copy a file over from my Windows HostOS to my Ubuntu GuestOS. How do I paste the file?
[13:33] <Bladewolf> Or if you can't help me, can you point me to a channel that can
[13:34] <bekks> Bladewolf: How do you copy, using which program?
[13:34] <clue_h> i think you need guest additions, and enable sharing folders
[13:34] <llutz> Bladewolf: shared folders, ssh(scp,sftp)
[13:34] <Bluewolf> bekks: It does not give me that option and the window has vanished?
[13:34] <Bluewolf> llutz: shared folders?
[13:35] <bekks> Bluewolf: Shared folder. Which virtualization solution do you use?
[13:36] <ben_xyzzy> Bluewolf: What have you tried? Have you searched the internet for this? Lots on forums.virtualbox.org (if that's what you're using) and askubuntu.com
[13:36] <Bladewolf> My VM crashed :O
[13:37] <Bluewolf> bekks,: Sorry could you be more clear, I'm not familiar with " virtualization solution"?
[13:37] <Bladewolf> clue_h: I have the GuestAdditions module installed, and Drag'n'Drop is set to Bidirectional
[13:37] <Bluewolf> ben_xyzzy, I don't use virtualBox.
[13:37] <bekks> Bluewolf: You are running a VM. Which software do you use to create the VM?
[13:38] <llutz> Bladewolf: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#sharedfolders
[13:38] <Bladewolf> bekks: VirtualBox
[13:38] <ben_xyzzy> lol
[13:38] <llutz> some confusion about blade and blue wolves i guess
[13:38] <Bladewolf> Lol
[13:38] <bekks> I've never s een a blue blade wolf so far.
[13:38] <Bladewolf> I'm not blue!
[13:39] <bekks> Bladewolf: In fact, you are purple in my client.
[13:39] <bekks> Bladewolf: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#sharedfolders
[13:39] <Bladewolf> bekks: Thanks man
[13:40] <Bluewolf> Bekks: I'm not using Virtualbox at all, its not even installed on my machine. I just have Ubuntu installed along side windows 7
[13:40] <Bluewolf> Bladewolf: It appears were similar in a way :D
[13:41] <Bladewolf> Bluewolf: Hell no
[13:42] <Bladewolf> I've just shared my entire C:\ drive. How do I access it?
[13:42] <Bluewolf> Bladewolf: Fair enough, we could just remain different.
[13:42] <Bladewolf> Bluewolf: Lol
[13:43] <Bluewolf> llutz: I don't use Virtualbox, this problem cant be because of it.
[13:43] <llutz> Bluewolf: i wasn't talking to you
[13:43] <manlycode> I found an entry for "upstart-events" in the Natty Narwahl docs (http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man7/upstart-events.7.html). But it doesn't seem to be in more recent releases.
[13:43] <manlycode> ...is that command still available in some form?
[13:43] <ben_xyzzy> Bluewolf: No, it probably isn't. What does your 'details' button say?
[13:44] <cornernote> llutz: the MTA wasnt the issue, but i solved it.. thanks for repling
[13:45] <howto> hey
[13:45] <howto> so
[13:46] <Bluewolf> ben_xyzzy, Thats just it, there is no details button. All it says is - (System program problem detected - Do you want to report the problem now?) when one continues it then says - (Sorry, ubuntu 14.04 has experienced an internal error - Send an error report to help fix this problem) Which I have done?
[13:46] <howto> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7344797/

[13:46] <howto> yeah, that's what i want to do
[13:47] <Bladewolf> rypervenche: He's trying to do that
[13:47] <ben_xyzzy> On that "...internal error..." dialog there should be a 'Show details' button. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f9sjQBKMqlc/UCJGLsLs6xI/AAAAAAAAEvo/LdFgHTppXJk/s400/ubuntu-error-problem-detected.png

[13:49] <Bladewolf> jasabella: Yes, but will it break the OS?
[13:49] <uporot> jasabella,hi)
[13:49] <bekks> Bladewolf: it may break it.
[13:49] <jasabella> if you're doing package management probably
[13:49] <Bladewolf> bekks: Because I just powered it off. In the middle of a logoff
[13:50] <jasabella> but im a newbie lol
[13:50] <jasabella> if i break my vm, i just make a new one :D
[13:50] <ben_xyzzy> Bladewolf: You probably got away with it. Not advisable though, as with real machines.
[13:50] <bekks> If i break a vm, I restore the latest snapshot.
[13:50] <jasabella> that too hehe
[13:50] <Bladewolf> jasabella: I didn't give this thing 20gb of harddrive space for no reason, you know
[13:51] <jasabella> but im too lazy to take snapshots regularly
[13:51] <jasabella> Bladewolf... hope you got backups :)
[13:51] <rypervenche> Backups backups backups. Always keep backups if your data is important.
[13:51] <Bladewolf> rypervenche: How???
[13:51] <bekks> !backup | Bladewolf
[13:51] <Bladewolf> I don't want to copy a 20gb virtual HARDDRIVE everytime my OS fails
[13:52] <bekks> Bladewolf: then choose an appropriate backup method-
[13:52] <Bladewolf> ubottu, bekks: Thanks
[13:53] <Bladewolf> Tried to say thanks to you, wanna know what ubottu PM'd me with?
[13:53] <Bladewolf> 14:50 ubottu:» Sorry, I don't know anything about bekks: Thanks
[13:54] <jasabella> ubottu is a bot
[13:54] <kima> i need help
[13:54] <kima> :p
[13:54] <Bladewolf> ubottu: Are you a bot?

[13:55] <ben_xyzzy> Bladewolf: Two lols from me in one session so far...
[13:55] <Bladewolf> ben_xyzzy: Lol ok
[13:55] <Bluewolf> ben_xyzzy: Yes the error is similar to that but it does not have (If you notice further problems, try restarting the computer.) and it does not have the details button?
[13:55] <bekks> Bladewolf: Lol, you said lol. :P
[13:55] <JCM83> how do I check whether I have certain python modules and libraries on an ubuntu system? And how can I get those libraries and where do I put them when I get them?
[13:55] <Bluewolf> ben_xyzzy: It looks like this - http://askubuntu.com/questions/43103/system-always-start-with-system-program-problem-detected-dialog
[13:56] <jasabella> JCM83... look into python pip
[13:56] <Bladewolf> !python | JCM83
[13:56] <JCM83> jasabella thanks
[13:56] <ben_xyzzy> Yes, then click Report problem. Then you should get the dialog I mentioned. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f9sjQBKMqlc/UCJGLsLs6xI/AAAAAAAAEvo/LdFgHTppXJk/s400/ubuntu-error-problem-detected.png

[13:57] <bananapie> Ubuntu 14.04 64bit => I just connected to a samba share with file manager, how can I create a shortcut to this share in the unity bar on the left ?
[13:57] <Bladewolf> I can see your chats with Bluewolf, ben_xyzzy
[13:57] <Bladewolf> (I see them in my hilights window)
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> bananapie: cog menu in nautils -> add to bookmarks
[13:57] <Bluewolf> Bladewolf, Told you we were similar :D
[13:58] <bananapie> I did that, but it doesn't add it to the launcher on the left
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> bananapie: or under the bookmarks menu. I forget which
[13:58] <ben_xyzzy> Bladewolf: The ones that start with Bluewolf: are highlighted? Your chat program is using loose matching for the names
[13:58] <Bluewolf> ben_xyzzy, Yes I do get that image but without a details button, Should I follow what they say on the site?
[13:58] <Bladewolf> Bluewolf: That's only because I have "Wolf" as a hilight phrase
[13:58] <Bladewolf> ben_xyzzy: Irssi is using loose matching? :O
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> bananapie: if you open Nautilus, do you see the shortcut at the top?
[13:58] <Bluewolf> Bladewolf, See the similarity :-P
[13:59] <Bladewolf> bekks: Sharing my C:\ drive didn't help
[13:59] <bananapie> when I open file manager, it says "bookmarks" in the left pane of the file manager window. But I want the bookmark in the unity bar.
[13:59] <Bladewolf> Bluewolf: You're a blue wolf. I'm not
[13:59] <bekks> Bladewolf: Why not?
[13:59] <ben_xyzzy> Bladewolf: Never used it. That's my guess. If both wolves are using the same program and haven't changed the matching, what Blue- said is the loose matching.
[13:59] <Bladewolf> bekks: I can't see it in my FILE MANAGER
[13:59] <junka> networkmanager does not display what driver is in use
[14:00] <bekks> Bladewolf: you have to mount the shared folder in your guest.
[14:00] <ben_xyzzy> On that note, I'm going to the shop. Cos here in the UK they all close at 4pm on Sunday,
[14:00] <Bladewolf> ben_xyzzy: I already said. It's because the phrase "Wolf" is set to hilight me
[14:00] <Bladewolf> bekks: I have done
[14:00] <Bladewolf> ben_xyzzy: Cya
[14:00] <hikenboot> can anyone please tell me what the latest methods of accessing windows shares from ubuntu is? is it cifs? or samba? or other? ...is there a quick config that actually works?
[14:00] <Bluewolf> Bladewolf, Still a member of the pack :D
[14:00] <ben_xyzzy> Bladewolf: My wolf limit is reached now
[14:00] <bananapie> go into filemanager
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> hikenboot: cifs and samba will work
[14:01] <bananapie> there is an optiion to connect to samba shares
[14:01] <Bladewolf> bekks: How would I access the drive once it's mounted?
[14:01] <Dharmesh> hi
[14:01] <Bluewolf> ben_xyzzy, Not with me? :D
[14:01] <bekks> Bladewolf: Open your file manager, go to the mount point, done.
[14:01] <ben_xyzzy> Bluewolf: Still going to the shops
[14:01] <Bladewolf> bekks: My mount point is C:\ not a folder
[14:01] <hikenboot> ActionParsnip, is it as easy as apt-get install cifs?
[14:02] <Bladewolf> bekks: So how would I get into it?
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> hikenboot: thendefault file manager and Ubuntu has what is needed in the OS already
[14:02] <Bluewolf> ben_xyzzy, Before you go, should I follow the instructions on that site I sent you?
[14:02] <Conna> halo all
[14:02] <bekks> Bladewolf: By navigating to it.
[14:02] <hikenboot> ok thanks I will check but it doesnt seem to see the windows shares when browsing the windows network
[14:02] <uporot> conna,heil!
[14:03] <Conna> huh?
[14:03] <hikenboot> but it could be a dns issue will check
[14:03] <nezZario> So, still, been asking for a while, I guess I can try a mailing list
[14:03] <uporot> conna,)
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> hikenboot: use the connect to server option in nautilus.
[14:03] <Bladewolf> bekks: I'm also getting an error every time I close the SHAREDFOLDERS SETTINGS window
[14:03] <hikenboot> thanks
[14:03] <bekks> Bladewolf: Which error?
[14:04] <bekks> Bladewolf: And how did you mount the shared folder in your guest?
[14:04] <Conna> Ubuntu in Facebook 1.000.000 like!!
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> Conna: so?
[14:04] <nezZario> I have two issues with ubuntu ... I added some entries to /etc/fstab for three USB devices .. but now when it boots, if those devices aren't present it gives me a prompt to (s)kip or (r)etry [or something similar].  What is causing this?  I've never seen another unix-like OS give me this prompt
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> !away > CyberJacob|Away

[14:05] <spearson> Hi, I'm trying to update my system to prepare for 14.04 but the update manager stalls at cups-client and it doesn't seem to mater which server I chose either (main server or United states server))
[14:05] <Bladewolf> Error ID:
[14:05] <Bladewolf> BrokenSharedFolder
[14:05] <Bladewolf> Severity:
[14:05] <Bladewolf> Warning
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> Bladewolf: i'd ask in #vbox too
[14:05] <llutz> nezZario: don't set "auto" in options
[14:06] <spearson> they both fail, cups-client and cupt
[14:06] <spearson> cups*
[14:06] <bekks> Bladewolf: Then the shared folder was not created and you were not able to mount it.
[14:06] <Bladewolf> bekks: It's C:\
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> Bladewolf: there are guides on YouTube too :-)
[14:07] <bekks> Bladewolf: It isnt. You got an error that it wasnt created.
[14:07] <spearson> does anyone know why it fails?
[14:07] <nezZario> llutz: I don't have auto in the mount options (or anywhere else).  I guess it's implied, I'll try adding noauto
[14:07] <nezZario> But honestly I'd like it to mount if it's present
[14:07] <llutz> nezZario: then use a combination of fstab and rc.local (checking for presence/mounting if so)
[14:09] <spearson> can anyone help?
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> Spearson: can it be removed?
[14:10] <spearson> and then it says failed to download package files check your internet connection
[14:10] <spearson> I know I have a connection as I'm chatting with you
[14:12] <nezZario> llutz: thanks, i swear i've done i before on other linux OS's and it didn't cause an issue, but it must've been noauto
[14:13] <nezZario> second issue, i've been struggling with for a WHILE, ... somewhat randomly, when ubuntu is at the bootloader, it never times out and gets stuck at the bootloader prompt .. anyone have any ideas on that?
[14:14] <spearson> #ActionParsnip, do you recommend that I remove the cups and reinstall?
[14:14] <martianlobster1> my workspace switcher disappeared after doing an apt-get autoremove.  What do I need to apt-get install to get it back?
[14:15] <nezZario> I've tried asking in #grub as well but it's pretty low volume.  This is a headless machine, so when it happens I have to take grab a keyboard from across the house and plug it in just to press 'enter'
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> spearson: if it can be removed without hauling loads of OS out then yes
[14:16] <spearson> you think if I remove cups it will hurt the OS?
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> spearson: you can use apt-get to show what it will remove.
[14:16] <spearson> also, will it still fail if I remove cups
[14:16] <nezZario> It's particularly concerning because it seems random -- some of the time it boots normally (times out) without intervention but some of the time not, .. there is a pattern of some sort because it seems when I 'reboot' it will timeout properly, but if I shutdown -h now and then boot by pressing the on switch, usually it sticks at the prompt
[14:19] <Bladewolf> Lol

[14:21] <glenn_> Hey guys

[14:21] <glenn_> i need some help, again
[14:22] <k1l> gartral: iceweasel is the de-branded firefox from debian. ubuntu uses firefox
[14:22] <glenn_> I just can't change the resolutions in Xubuntu...
[14:22] <gartral> module000: still thats what im looking for
[14:22] <glenn_> Tomorrow I was tried and they tried to help me
[14:22] <glenn_> :(
[14:23] <module000> gartral: you'll need to pull the sources and compile it then. you wont' get support for that here, the licensing snafu with the mozilla artwork(the single reason iceweasel exists) isn't a problem with anyone but the TC in deb
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> gartral: arora maybe
[14:24] <gartral> i know there's a liscencing snafu, but read http://www.huffingtonpost.com/becky-hayes/mozillas-anti-gay-ceo-hast_b_5129335.html
[14:24] <gartral> that's the reason i'm dropping 'real' firefox for an alternative
[14:24] <module000> gartral: you realize iceweasel *is* firefox though, 100% identical codebase. someone has changed the icons and moniker, nothing else. you are still sending bug reports to the mozilla foudation for example if you click "report issue"
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> gartral: midori is light too
[14:25] <gartral> module000: yes, but it's a different mantainer.. and that's the sole reason for the switch
[14:26] <lleweldyn> hi there was anybody able to get flash working in midori
[14:26] <DarkAceXtreme> either my hosts file isn't working right, or I did something wrong
[14:26] <gr8> hi, I'm thinking about buying a new Google Nexus 10 with the goal of installing Ubuntu touch (or a different linux distribution, if exists) on it later. do you think Ubuntu will still support the Nexus 10 in a half year?
[14:27] <DarkAceXtreme> I added "<IP_ADDRESS>	www.google.com" to my hosts file, but I can still access google.com
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> lleweldyn: https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&ei=qRNdU9rVBIjkOpTkgPgO&url=http://itsfoss.com/fix-missing-flash-player-error-midori-quick-tip/&cd=1&ved=0CC0QFjAA&usg=AFQjCNGcNJ8O2r0K0BYd4OeDPyoJLT2WMQ
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> DarkAceXtreme: when did you last access it before changing the file?
[14:28] <lleweldyn> thanks you actionparsnip
[14:28] <DarkAceXtreme> google.com specifically, probably not for a couple of hours
[14:28] <DarkAceXtreme> but Google Chrome's probably constantly sending data to some Google site
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> lleweldyn: strange how it doesnt just use the normal folders the other ones use.
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> DarkAceXtreme: what is the TTL on the name resolution?
[14:30] <ice9> are there any differences between ubuntu desktop and server other than there is no GUI?
[14:30] <bekks> ice9: No.
[14:30] <k1l> ice9: no.
[14:31] <DarkAceXtreme> ActionParsnip: where do I find that?
[14:31] <gr8> not a joke question my friends; is the Nexus 10 a save choice?
[14:32] <odsent> how do you install tar.gz files
[14:32] <odsent> the software in them
[14:32] <k1l> gr8: is that a ubuntu suport question? for hardware offers better ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:33] <DarkAceXtreme> ActionParsnip: so I should probably stop everything transmitting to google sites, if I want the hosts to take effect?
[14:33] <k1l> odsent: the tor page got an howto for their software: https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> DarkAceXtreme: dig the name. You will see the TTL. If the TTL is not expired it is using the cached resolution so you can put anything for that name in hosts but it won't be used until the TTL expires
[14:33] <gr8> k1l: c'mon I asked the full question just 5 minutes ago
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> DarkAceXtreme: basic DNS stuff.
[14:34] <odsent> kll: i did all those instructions but now i can't find the iron to start TOr
[14:34] <odsent> icon
[14:34] <k1l> gr8: for ubuntu touch better ask in #ubuntu-touch .
[14:34] <gartral> ok, after looking at midori, it won't do what I need, I need a non-branded 'firefox' browser that I can use, suggestions?
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> Gr8: http://phandroid.com/2014/01/13/ubuntu-touch-devices-2/
[14:35] <DarkAceXtreme> alright, thanks
[14:35] <bananapie>  have to call a command to reindex unity?
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> gartral: all web browsers have a brand.....
[14:35] <Bladewolf> gartral: You need an "unbranded" Mozilla Firefox that you can use?
[14:35] <DarkAceXtreme> I'm not seeing any TTL in the dig, but I know what I want now, thanks
[14:35] <Bladewolf> All web browsers are branded
[14:36] <gartral> say also, in 13.10 ctrl-c/x/v doesn't work how do I fix that
[14:36] <Bladewolf> Mozilla is Firefox's brand (And the company that made it)
[14:36] <gartral> Bladewolf: exactly
[14:36] <odsent> help i installed Tor, now how do i start it
[14:36] <odsent> run it
[14:36] <gartral> Bladewolf: flash isn't working in midori or epiphany..
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> DarkAceXtreme: then until that TTL expires you are using the cached resolution.
[14:36] <Bladewolf> gartral: Then install Firefox
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> odsent: how did you install it?
[14:37] <Bladewolf> If that's what you need
[14:37] <odsent> using the commands at !tor
[14:37] <odsent> !tor
[14:37] <gartral> Bladewolf: i no longer consider firefox moraly compatible with my life.. see http://www.huffingtonpost.com/becky-hayes/mozillas-anti-gay-ceo-hast_b_5129335.html
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> odsent: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue
[14:38] <gr8> ActionParsnip: ah ok I guess that means 'no'
[14:38] <odsent> Ubuntu 14.04 LTS \n \l
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> odsent: did you click the 'step 2' link on that page once tor was installed?
[14:39] <dartz_lu> Hello
[14:39] <gartral> i really don't want to compile a browser on a netbook... that's going to take 5 forevers
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> Gr8: the guys in #ubuntu-touch wil be able to advise. Its not something I know of. All i did was search the web which anyone can do...
[14:40] <dartz_lu> I installed Lubuntu 12.04 on a spare 160 GB hdd, on a C2D machine with boot loader on the same hdd. I moved this HDD to another Pentium 4 PC and I can't get it to boot up, always get grub rescue with "symbol not found" errors
[14:40] <llutz> gartral: https://launchpad.net/~dirk-computer42/+archive/c42-backport?field.series_filter=trusty
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> gartral: i don understand your requirement. We have given lots of light web browsers...
[14:40] <Yerst> hey
[14:40] <Yerst> i just upgraded to 14.04
[14:41] <dartz_lu> Lubuntu 12.04, System Rescue CD and Super Grub Disk 2 fail to load properly
[14:41] <Yerst> i already installed the additional drivers
[14:41] <Yerst> but still all my windows lag
[14:41] <Yerst> when i drag them
[14:41] <Yerst> or when i switch the workspace
[14:41] <Yerst> haven't had this problem with 12.04
[14:41] <Yerst> anybody else got that problem?
[14:41] <gartral> ActionParsnip: my requirment is I need a non-firefox, firefox compatible browser
[14:41] <llutz> can we have the !enter factoid back, please ....
[14:42] <Bladewolf> gartral: Try Google Chrome
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> gartral: do you mean the same gecko engine?
[14:42] <Yerst> or does anybody know a solution
[14:42] <Bladewolf> Yerst: Got enough RAM/CPU ?
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> Yerst: what GPU do you use?
[14:43] <gartral> ActionParsnip: yes
[14:43] <Yerst> intel i7 870 (2.93GHz quad core)
[14:43] <Yerst> 8 GB RAM
[14:43] <Yerst> GTX 460
[14:43] <Bladewolf> O_O
[14:43] <junka> :OOOOOOOOOOOO
[14:43] <Bladewolf> That's more than me and I can run Ubuntu fine
[14:43] <Bladewolf> 14.04
[14:43] <Yerst> yeah
[14:43] <Yerst> i haven't had this problem with 12.04 too
[14:43] <gartral> Bladewolf: chrome is too heavy, I'm working on an older netbook here3
[14:43] <nezZario> I run ubuntu pretty decently on a celeron with 512mb of ram .. something is deeply wrong
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> gartral: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_web_browsers click Graphical
[14:44] <Bladewolf> gartral: I don't know then
[14:44] <Yerst> i used the same drivers than last time
[14:44] <gartral> nezZario: who was that message for?
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> Yerst: is it a laptop?
[14:44] <nezZario> Yerst:
[14:44] <Yerst> no, a desktop pc
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> Yerst: if youbrun: sudo lshw -C display
[14:45] <gartral> ActionParsnip: no duh.. but i'm really hoping not to have to compile the alternatives here
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> Yerst: do you see an Intel GPU and an Nvidia GPU?
[14:45] <llutz> gartral: have you seen the link i gave you?
[14:45] <gartral> llutz: no, hang on
[14:45] <Yerst> nvidia gpu
[14:45] <Yerst> my gtx 460
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> gartral: those are the choices. I dont see why Midori doesnt tick all the boxes
[14:46] <nezZario> gartral: What's your specs again?  I mean once again, I run ubuntu with gnome on a celeron with 512mb ram and chrome is usable.  It's slow, but usable
[14:46] <Yerst> i have 2 monitors by the way
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> Yerst: so no intel gpu?
[14:46] <Yerst> nope
[14:46] <Yerst> maybe that's a problem
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> Yerst: in the lshw output do you see driver=nvidia
[14:46] <junka> nezZario, me too celeron 2gb ram :D
[14:47] <Yerst> dirver = nouveau
[14:47] <ActionParsnip> Yerst: thats why then
[14:47] <gartral> llutz: how do I add that via terminal?
[14:47] <Yerst> ok
[14:48] <gartral> Software center crashes this system even after a fresh install
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> Yerst: what is the output of: lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | grep nvidia
[14:48] <llutz> !ppa | gartral sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ppaname
[14:48] <Bladewolf> Lol
[14:48] <Yerst> nvidia-331-update
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> gartral: why is midori not filling the need?
[14:48] <Yerst> opencl stuff
[14:48] <Yerst> many nvidia stuff
[14:49] <Bladewolf> gartral: What about GNUIceCat
[14:49] <odsent> actionparsnip
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> Yerst: use a pastebin
[14:49] <odsent> i got the tor browser bundle tar.gz
[14:49] <odsent> but i don't know how to install it
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> Yerst: i asked for the output, not some description
[14:49] <gartral> ActionParsnip: because my 'client' (read; my mother) doesn
[14:49] <gartral> 't want to switch
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> gartral: for what reason?
[14:49] <Yerst> http://pastebin.com/MCXcbFeZ
[14:49] <Yerst> here you go
[14:49] <walidvb> is there a command that let's you monitor your video card input, such as watch /dev/video ?
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> gartral: switch from what?
[14:50] <loa> is there way to run few commands in ubuntu desktop file
[14:50] <gartral> ActionParsnip: because she likesw the layout andplugins she had.. and I have a backup of them, so she doesn't want to switch browsers >.<
[14:50] <loa> i meen something like this Exec=ls -la; echo 1 > /dev/null
[14:51] <loa> is it possible?
[14:51] <gartral> ActionParsnip: firefox
[14:51] <loa> i need to run command before main application start
[14:51] <loa> it will setup my gamepad and application is steam.
[14:51] <odsent> how do you use the tor browzer bundle tar-1.xz
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> gartral: they will do the same job from a user perspective
[14:51] <trijntje> ubuntu server 14.04 32bit live usb keeps giving me the same error when checking the disk for defects. Is this a known bug in the iso that can be safely ignored?
[14:52] <hasek79> im running 13.10 should i update to 14.04?
[14:52] <penko> Hi, i have problems with google chrome ot my lubuntu
[14:52] <Yerst> i try to restart my pc again
[14:52] <odsent> it just has one file with an unidentified extension
[14:52] <Yerst> maybe that will help
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> odsent: right click -> extract
[14:52] <Yerst> by
[14:52] <gartral> llutz: appearently there's not an iceweasel for 13.10 in that repo
[14:52] <penko> from website i download stable_current_i386.deb
[14:52] <k1l> hasek79: some day you will have to. 13.10 only got 9 months support
[14:52] <gartral> llutz: wait, DUH
[14:52] <gartral> i'm blind
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> gartral: the same plugins can be installed in Midori
[14:52] <Bladewolf> gartral: LOL
[14:52] <nezZario> hasek79: afaik 13.10 is still supported so just keeping your 13.x install is sufficient for the moment but I would go ahead and get 14
[14:52] <penko> next i install it via gdebi, but it give me error and doesn`t start :(
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> gartral: plus as youbadd plugins etc the browser will bloat and slow down
[14:53] <llutz> gartral: i hope you've seen the  " ... WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk"
[14:53] <hasek79> will all my configs still work of will i have to go threw and config everything again?
[14:53] <odsent> it's a tar file
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> hasek79: 13.10 is eol in June. You may want to upgrade soon
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> odsent: you can still extract tars with right click menu...
[14:54] <gartral> ActionParsnip: no, not the Facebook, Twitter, or G+ plugins.. they all said "Incompatible browser, use Firefox" and in 12.04 they installed in Iceweasel just fine
[14:54] <nezZario> hasek79: especially consdering how easy it is to upgrade, .. why not?
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> gartral: then you may have to suck it up and use firefox. Or get an agent switcher to make it fly
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> odsent: or install unp and use unp to extract the file in terminal
[14:55] <odsent> i extracted it, and it just gives one file called tor-browser-linux64-3.5.4_en-US.tar-1
[14:55] <Bladewolf> Doesn't Ubuntu come with GZIP?
[14:55] <odsent> which came from tor-browser-linux64-3.5.4_en-US.tar-1.xz
[14:55] <odsent> the first one can't be extracted
[14:56] <odsent> file roller
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> Bladewolf: yes but unp is a one command for all archives command
[14:56] <gartral> ActionParsnip: lemme use the iceweasel ppa first.. another issue is she had A LOT of tabs saved before the wipe/reoad of her netbook after a failed update that i had WARNED her not to take
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> odsent: use unp, its easier
[14:57] <nezZario> odsent: why aren't you using the version from Tor's repository?
[14:57] <Bladewolf> gartral: What was the update?
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> Why use tor anyway
[14:58] <gartral> Bladewolf: a kernel update that she applied when she was tired, and I had warned her previously the /boot was full >.<
[14:58] <Bladewolf> ...What the hell was she thinking?
[14:59] <gartral> Bladewolf: she wasn't she was up for 32 hours and "Wanted the prompt out of her way"
[14:59] <Bladewolf> Lol
[14:59] <Bladewolf> She should have hit "Cancel"
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> gartral: make her account not be in the sudo group and add your own and add it to sudo. Install openssh-server and tell her you'll manage her updates
[15:00] <gartral> Bladewolf: well, it's ok because at that point she was on 12.04 and desperatly needed a wipe/reload, because I had originally installed 9.10 on this system and limped it along
[15:00] <Bladewolf> gartral: Lol
[15:00] <gartral> ActionParsnip: usually it's controlled by the sserver I run at home, this time she was so tired she screwed up
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> gartral: gotcha
[15:01] <gartral> ActionParsnip: don't ask me HOW she did it, she just did.. and trust me, I'm mad
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> gartral: is the system purely for web browsing?
[15:02] <gartral> ActionParsnip: no, it's her MAIN usage system, her alternative is a 14
[15:03] <gartral> 14+ year oldSell GX150 "thin client"
[15:03] <gartral> Dell*
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> gartral: ahh was going to suggest xpud ;>
[15:04] <gartral> ActionParsnip: yea, tried that, she *HATES* using the  terminal for anything
[15:04] <gartral> brb
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> gartral: ots not terminal based....

[15:08] <guest-gnKD4t_> help

[15:08] <trijntje> !help
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> trijntje: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[15:09] <gartral> trijntje: Pentium 3?
[15:09] <trijntje> ActionParsnip: yes, it checks out. I've also tried using both unetbootin and usb-creator, AND two different usb drives
[15:09] <Node_753> hello
[15:10] <gartral> trijntje: is it a P4 or older?
[15:10] <trijntje> gartral: I'm not sure actually, I just figured it'd be safer to use 32bit on such an old machine
[15:11] <gartral> trijntje: do you have a system model number? (such as Dell optilext 450)
[15:13] <trijntje> gartral: http://reviewlaptopnetbook.blogspot.nl/2013/02/netbook-acer-aspire-one-n214.html

[15:24] <Jikan> Hi! As my Gnome Control Center is almost empty (I only have Language/Printers/Software updates), is there a) a way to get all the normal stuff back and/or b) somewhere to find the list of all corresponding commands to use in a terminal?
[15:24] <trijntje> Guest49830: do it during install, less chance of breaking things
[15:24] <Guest49830> It's not possible to do it during instal
[15:25] <Guest49830> Because when I choose FDE it installs itself

[15:31] <cfhowlett> Abel ask in #vbox
[15:31] <snuggles08> Didn't work.
[15:32] <narcos> Hi all. Could anyone recommend a tutorial for setting up an IRC server on Ubuntu with SSL enforced (compulsory) and a password req'd to connect ?
[15:32] <narcos> I see lots of conflicting articles
[15:32] <minimec> snuggles08: check what packages are installed with this 'dpkg -l *jdk* | grep ii' and uninstall the packages afterwards.
[15:32] <Abel> thank you cfhowlett :)
[15:34] <Tetracomm> willwh: Yes.
[15:36] <LKBM> I'm on 12.04 and update-manager (with or without -d) seems to think 13.10 is the newest version. How do I make it realize 14.04 is available?
[15:36] <LKBM> Sorry, I'm on 12.10.
[15:37] <bekks> LKBM: you have to update to 13.04, then 13.10, then 14.04
[15:37] <bekks> LKBM: and 13.04 is EOL.
[15:37] <LKBM> Really? I thought with LTS I could skip. Oh well.
[15:37] <bekks> LKBM: 12.10 isnt LTS.
[15:38] <cfhowlett> LKBM you can update directly to 14.04 from 12.04
[15:38] <cfhowlett> LKBM but you have to wait until the point release 14.04.1 comes out in July
[15:39] <theuns> Anyone know what version of Qt library is ship with 14.04?
[15:39] <LKBM> Okay. I'm actually coming from 11.04 and I've already had fun fixing grub. I was just hoping to skip a few more intermediate steps :-)
[15:40] <cfhowlett> LKBM you can always download the 14.04 ISO and do a regular installation
[15:40] <Tetracomm> willwh: Do you mean chmod +x eclipse? Yes.
[15:40] <willwh> Tetracomm: no I meant actually launch it from the terminal
[15:40] <LKBM> cfhowlett, will that screw with all my settings and installed stuff? I mean, more than a regular upgrade?
[15:40] <willwh> Tetracomm: why are you worried about clicking on a button?
[15:41] <Guest999999> I don't have permission to put a file in a certain folder, (Probably because it is in a "usr" subfolder) is there any way to force a file into a folder?
[15:41] <trijntje> gartral: can't boot 64bit on my netbook
[15:41] <willwh> guest; sudo mv /your/file /usr/whatever/path
[15:41] <cfhowlett> !home|LKBM set your /home to its own partition will keep data and settings.
[15:42] <trijntje> I'm trying to install ubuntu server 32bit, but every usb I create is corrupted according to 'check cd for defects'. Is this a known issue with the trusty server images?
[15:42] <willwh> trijntje: why 32bit server?
[15:42] <willwh> I thought 14.04 was ONLY 64bit for server edition now
[15:42] <trijntje> willwh: because the hardware doesn't support 32-bit
[15:42] <trijntje> *64 bit
[15:43] <LKBM> cfhowlett, ubottu: But all of /etc will be gone, I assume. All the settings for apache, privoxy, etc.
[15:43] <jhutchins> trijntje: What are you using to create the drive?
[15:44] <trijntje> jhutchins: usb-creator or unetbootin, each consisently reports a file to be corrupted, though the file differs between using unetbootin and usb-creator
[15:44] <jhutchins> trijntje: Try just using dd, cat, or cp.
[15:45] <willwh> LKBM: yep, but you should have those backed up somewhere surely? :)
[15:45] <jhutchins> trijntje: copy to the un-mounted root device, then check the md5sum.
[15:45] <willwh> otherwise what would yuo do in the event of system or disk faliure?
[15:45] <jhutchins> trijntje: Sometimes the check will fail because the drive is a different size than the image is.
[15:45] <cfhowlett> LKBM wait until point-release and upgrade away
[15:46] <LKBM> cfhowlett: I guess I'll do that. Thanks. (Also thanks willwh, ubottu, and bekks)
[15:46] <cumana> hello
[15:46] <thomson28> does anyone know how to get the recycle bin on the desktop?
[15:47] <trijntje> jhutchins: you cant just copy the iso to the usb and boot from it can you?
[15:47] <cumana> where does this damn update-initramfs store information about newest kernel? I've removed image of new kernel from /boot/ (it was compiled) and it still tries to use this version
[15:49] <jhutchins> trijntje: Yes, but again, to the unmounted root device, not to a mounted partition.
[15:49] <jhutchins> trijntje: /dev/sr0, not /media/usb0
[15:50] <trijntje> jhutchins: ok, I've now used dd to write the iso to the usb, and now the check completes without error. Thanks for the tip, at least now I can get going with my server!
[15:50] <Guest999999> I tried to move the file with commands, but it is telling me my downloads directory doesn't exist.. what's the file path for downloads?
[15:51] <willwh> Guest999999: ~/Downloads
[15:51] <willwh> i.e. ~/ is a shortcut for your home directory
[15:51] <jhutchins> trijntje: Good luck!
[15:52] <m000gle> Hey!  I'm looking for a bit of guidance theming my Ubuntu 14.04 desktop, if anyone can help.
[15:52] <m000gle> I'm hoping to replace the default Ubuntu orange folder icons with those used in the (already installed) Moka theme. is there any way to do this while retaining the default icons for all other apps?
[15:52] <Nuc1eoN> Hi, can anybody explain to me what the firmware in the linux kernel is? Does it flash a different firmware onto my device e.g. a graphics card
[15:52] <clue_h> or ~ on its own.
[15:54] <Guest999999> Thanks! "~/Downloads" worked!
[15:55] <genesis777> Hello.
[15:55] <genesis777> I have Ubuntu installation with Full Disk Encryption.
[15:55] <genesis777> I'd like to move /boot partition to an USB flash stick or SD card.
[15:55] <genesis777> I've googled that, but didn't find anything related.
[15:55] <genesis777> Does anyone know how could I do that?
[15:55] <Guest_903>  "I have been jailbroke on my ipod touch 3rd generation ios 5.1.1 absinthe or green poison jailbreak for a couple weeks now and decided to get touchposé+ so it worked for the rest of that day so ok and then I shut it off for the night you now and then when I tried turning on in the morning at first I eont wouldn't let me touch the screen like I was touching thw screen but nothing was happening so then when I decided to wait a litt
[15:56] <genesis777> I have to leave the house and I'll be back in an hour or so. If one has to say something please IM me.
[15:57] <genesis777> I will check
[15:57] <jhutchins> genesis777: Pretty simple really, boot to some other media, copy the file tree from /boot, if desired remove the one from the disk, point grub at the new device.

[16:03] <xtbman> When I try to install ubuntu server from a usb stick, it sets the usb drive as sda and my hard drive as sdb. The problem is when I get to installing grub, it complains that there is no dev/sda. How can I manually tell it to name the hard drive sda instead?
[16:05] <CarlFK> xtbman: pretty sure you want to install to sdb
[16:05] <holstein> xtbman: try referring to them as uuid
[16:06] <xtbman> CarlFK, my problem is that grub gives me a fatal error saying can't install to dev/sda.
[16:06] <xtbman> holstein hmm ok
[16:06] <SwashBuckla> Brasero is returning the following error log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7346161/
[16:06] <CarlFK> xtbman: even when you tell it hdb?
[16:06] <xtbman> CarlFK, you mean tell it to Grub?
[16:06] <holstein> xtbman: grub should just refer as uuid.. you'll install to what you want, and the labes get worked out
[16:07] <CarlFK> xtbman: "How can I manually tell it to name the hard drive sda instead?"  <- use sdb
[16:07] <xtbman> Grub doesn't give me any options, the installer just asks if I want to install to the master loader or not. I say yes, and then it tries to install.
[16:07] <SwashBuckla> CarlFK. xtbman, sdb may also be occupied
[16:07] <llutz> xtbman:  " install to the master loader or not" IS the choice, say NO and then pick sdb
[16:07] <CarlFK> xtbman: ah.  I thought it gave you some options.  never mind.
[16:07] <SwashBuckla> be careful
[16:07] <zettabytes> is there a way yo upgrade from 8.04 jaunty to 12.04 precise using terminal by force?
[16:08] <xtbman> llutz: ok I'll try that, one moment.
[16:08] <holstein> xtbman: you can just not install grub, and do that after install
[16:09] <holstein> xtbman: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair for example, post install
[16:09] <xtbman> holstein: ok thanks I'll bookmark that
[16:10] <zettabytes> is it possible if i change the repo in sources.list then update && upgrade? can it be done?
[16:10] <CarlFK> inkscape uses alt-mouse drag to resize an object and keep the aspect ratio.  the wm uses alt-mouse to move the window.  is there some way to make that not happen so inkscape can get it?
[16:10] <llutz> zettabytes: it can and most likely it will trash your installation
[16:12] <llutz> zettabytes: and btw, you want to use dist-upgrade, not upgrade
[16:12] <thomson28> does anyone know how to get the recycle bin on the desktop?

[16:21] <Castaneda> Hello
[16:21] <Guest_903>  "iPhone 4 hardly stucked in SOFT DFU mode"
[16:21] <Castaneda> Can I ask something?
[16:22] <esperegu> I created one dkms.conf for 2 source packages. When I run dkms build it does not copy all the files from the source dir to the build dir. anybody knows how I can get dkms to copy all the files required?
[16:22] <Castaneda> How can I see whether the tcp-wrappers library libwrap is compiled into an application?

[16:25] <linuxuser1000> hello
[16:25] <Guest_903>  "why here said me no?"
[16:26] <linuxuser1000> so i'm back and now i'm getting wierd mouse freezes
[16:26] <linuxuser1000> is there any fix?
[16:26] <k1l> Guest_903: do ou have a ubuntu support question?
[16:26] <holstein> linuxuser1000: i test with live CD"s or supported operatin systems to see if the hardware is funcitonal.. then, i try other user accounts, and looking for and applying all upgrades
[16:27] <linuxuser1000> my screen freezes and i have to go to a tty to fix it
[16:27] <linuxuser1000> the rest works
[16:27] <linuxuser1000> even optimus and that stuff
[16:27] <holstein> linuxuser1000: as another user account, you can rule out your users config.. as the live CD, you can rule out your installed operating system
[16:28] <holstein> linuxuser1000: you can try using the open driver vs the proprietary driver for graphics.. remove any PPA's.. try the xorg edgers PPA
[16:28] <holstein> linuxuser1000: its just going to be a matter of tracking it down
[16:28] <linuxuser1000> i am using xorg edgers right now
[16:29] <linuxuser1000> on nvidia 334.21
[16:29] <holstein> linuxuser1000: so, you can try the repo version, or ask the maintainers of the software you are using for support, after you determine the driver is or is not the cause
[16:29] <teward|pc> what's the command to update 12.04 desktop to 14.04 desktop directly, since that's LTS-to-LTS?
[16:31] <llutz> teward|pc: sudo do-release-upgrade --devel-release
[16:31] <holstein> teward|pc: it will be opened up automatially when 14.04.1 releases
[16:32] <Castaneda> I did the ldd command! Is there's a path where I can see the library?
[16:32] <llutz> Castaneda: ldd gives you the pathes
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> teward: or wait for 14.04.1 and it will be offered
[16:33] <teward|pc> ActionParsnip: when's .1 supposed to come out
[16:33]  * teward|pc doesn't have the timetable for the 14.04 releases on his phone
[16:34] <k1l> 27th july
[16:34] <teward|pc> and in fact i can't even reach the wiki while running off my phone's data (i'm in its wifi hotspot)
[16:34] <k1l> (iirc)
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> teward: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseSchedule
[16:34] <teward|pc> ActionParsnip: thanks,
[16:34] <xtbman> llutz: saying no to master boot loader worked. Thanks
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> teward: all i did was websearch.....
[16:34] <teward|pc> ActionParsnip: i'm being lazy today :p
[16:35] <teward|pc> besides, after just uploading 5 nginx packages to the nginx team's stable PPA... I need to stop staring at the computer :p
[16:35] <john38> Can somebody tell me what directory..Path? does Firefox store all my bookmarks
[16:35] <reisio> john38: ~/.mozilla/
[16:35] <reisio> john38: why do you ask
[16:36] <reisio> teward|pc: quitter :p
[16:36] <john38> reisio, im doing reinstallation and i want to backup all sites i've visited
[16:36] <vitaly> You can use Firefox Sync
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> john38: just backup the ~/.mozilla and you'll win
[16:37] <john38> reisio, where do i go exactly ....usr/bin....var/..usr/share??
[16:37] <reisio> john38: yes, you can just backup the dir as ActionParsnip says, for the entire profile/s
[16:37] <reisio> or open firefox and export as html
[16:37] <ppk90> hello there!
[16:37] <Guest_903>  "i had my i pod touch jail broken but i removed the jailbreak for some reason"
[16:37] <reisio> john38: '~/.mozilla' is a complete path that your shell will understand
[16:37] <reisio> john38: the absolute version would be /home/yourUser/.mozilla
[16:37] <reisio> if you've already backed up /home/yourUser/, you already have it
[16:37] <gnumdk> Who knows why Ubuntu 14.04 reconnect to WIFI after suspend is so fast?
[16:37] <john38> reisio, ok thnks
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> john38: also backs up thunderbird if its used
[16:38] <reisio> Guest_903: gj
[16:38] <reisio> normally all the things you actually care about will be in /home/
[16:38] <reisio> when you get into server stuff that can change slightly
[16:39] <odsent> test
[16:39] <ActionParsnip> !test | odsent
[16:39] <Bladewolf> Lol
[16:39] <john38> reisio, is it in the bookmarksbackup folder
[16:42] <reisio> john38: they're not in easily read format in that directory, but they _are_ there
[16:42] <reisio> john38: if you want an easily read format, then open firefox and export as html before you backup/reinstall
[16:42] <reisio> john38: otherwise you can copy the entire directory into a _new_ firefox install's ~/.mozilla, and they will simply be there
[16:43] <reisio> not in an easily*
[16:43] <Castaneda> thanks for the help!!!
[16:43] <Castaneda> cheers!
[16:44] <john38> reisio, but they are the files with the .json extension right???
[16:45] <john38> reisio, i have alot of bookmarks but their are only 10 .json files
[16:46] <reisio> john38: I don't recall, as I said it's not in any easily readable format in there anymore
[16:46] <reisio> the Mozilla devs in all their wisdom decided human readable files were incorrect
[16:47] <reisio> it makes it easier for the idiotic "awesome" bar to query your bookmarks as a database
[16:47] <xtbman> Is it ok to ask Ubuntu Server questions here?
[16:47] <xtbman> Or is there a better channel
[16:47] <someHuman> How do I default grub2 boot menu to be my default boot manager instead of Windows'?
[16:47] <reisio> depends on the queestion
[16:47] <Chewy64> Hey folks, I got a bit of an odd issue. I have some 290Xs that I'm trying to use to render. I have the drivers installed, and fglrx. I can report all the information using aticonfig (temps, clocks) etc for them, but they refuse to do anything (Such as render, output to a display, etc)
[16:48] <reisio> but there _is_ a channel just for server questions
[16:48] <reisio> -> /msg alis list *ubun*serv*
[16:48] <owen1> how to tell firefox to stop showing me popups asking me to install something that will give me extra features? it happens on many websites and i feel it's related to ubuntu or unity.
[16:48] <ActionParsnip> xtbman: sure, there is also #ubuntu-server
[16:48] <xtbman> ok thanks
[16:48] <reisio> owen1: screenshot?
[16:48] <owen1> reisio: it only shows up for 5 seconds.  i'll try to take on next time.
[16:48] <reisio> Chewy64: what's a 290X?
[16:48] <owen1> reisio: on gmail, launchpad, and other sites
[16:49] <ActionParsnip> someHuman: install Grub to the MBR of the drive. I assume you havent used Wubi
[16:49] <Chewy64> reisio, It's a GPU, Radeon R9 290X reference.
[16:49] <reisio> owen1: mmm... anything firefox would ask would remain until you told it to go away
[16:49] <xtbman> I installed Ubuntu server, setting up my wireless connection. It said that the connection succeeded. Now that server is installed, and I'm at the command line, it says the network is down. Ping returns unknown host.
[16:49] <owen1> i always so 'no'
[16:49] <someHuman> ActionParsnip: Yup I haven't.
[16:49] <john38> reisio, how do i export bookmarks in precise pangolin??
[16:49] <owen1> but they keep coming
[16:49] <someHuman> ActionParsnip: How do I do that?
[16:49] <reisio> Chewy64: what command is refused, exactly?
[16:49] <reisio> john38: I already told you...
[16:50] <ActionParsnip> xtbman: can you ping your router's internal IP
[16:50] <reisio> john38: you can either backup the directory, or open firefox, Bookmarks > Import and Backup > Export Bookmarks to HTML
[16:50] <owen1> reisio: i am guessing it's some shortcut for unity. i have ubuntu installed but i login to i3 session, so i don't care about unity shortcuts.
[16:50] <reisio> owen1: if you're using i3, unity isn't running
[16:50] <reisio> unless you're using i3 with Unity, anyways :p
[16:50] <reisio> which you'd probably be aware of
[16:50] <Chewy64> reisio, Refused? Nothing. They just won;t work, period. I can;t attach a monitor to them, and I can't use the GPU to render cad models, etc. Everything I can see says the card is functioning though.
[16:51] <xtbman> ActionParsnip: no, it says connect: network unreachable
[16:51] <owen1> reisio: right. so maybe it's firefox with ubuntu? i don't know
[16:51] <reisio> owen1: pretty hard to say without a visual example :)
[16:52] <reisio> Chewy64: what all graphics devices are available?
[16:52] <owen1> reisio: i know. i'll try to catch them. i'll have 'scrot -d 3' ready (:
[16:52] <orbisvicis> when upgrading mysql databases does ubuntu automatically run mysql_upgrade ?
[16:52] <ActionParsnip> Chewy64: which ati gpu is it?
[16:52] <reisio> orbisvicis: I certainly hope not, but that is easily tested
[16:52] <Chewy64> reisio, Not sure what you mean by that.
[16:52] <Chewy64> ActionParsnip, R9 290X.
[16:53] <john38> reisio, ok thnks reisio
[16:53] <reisio> Chewy64: please enumerate all the graphics devices attached to the mobo
[16:54] <orbisvicis> reisio: I accidentally went from 5.0 -> 5.5, now I've downgraded to 5.1 to run mysql_upgrade, except that some tables are now using the PERSCHEMA storage engine which is only available in mysql >= 5.5
[16:54] <orbisvicis> *PERFSCHEMA
[16:54] <Chewy64> reisio, 0=Saphhire 7950, 1=Saphhire 7950, 2=R9 290X, 3=R9 290X
[16:59] <reisio> orbisvicis: well, lesson learned
[16:59] <xtbman> I checked my /etc/resolv.conf, and it only has two commented lines.. nothing else. I'm guessing that's a problem.
[17:00] <Chewy64> reisio, You catch that?
[17:00] <reisio> Chewy64: yeah
[17:00] <reisio> Chewy64: and you want to use all these simultaneously?
[17:01] <Chewy64> reisio, Yes, and I need to be able to hardware monitor them sue to the fact that the 290Xs are throttled via tempertature. They are on a render farm.
[17:01] <Chewy64> in a render*
[17:02] <reisio> okay, and how are you attempting to utilize one?
[17:03] <Chewy64> reisio, How do you mean? How am I attempting to use all of them at the same time? The render software does that. You can enable/disable any of the GPUs, and it'll dole out work accordingly.
[17:03] <reisio> no... I said 'utilize _one_'
[17:04] <Chewy64> Errr...... ?
[17:04] <Chewy64> I'm not following. Sorry.
[17:05] <dafedz> Hello
[17:05] <reisio> okay I'll explain debugging to you
[17:05] <reisio> when debugging, you start small
[17:05] <reisio> you pick one thing, and make sure it works
[17:05] <reisio> then you add on more things until you get to your end goal
[17:05] <Chewy64> Oh, well yeah.
[17:05] <dafedz> reisio is spot on
[17:05] <reisio> so when I ask how you're trying to utilize _one_, that's what I mean
[17:05] <Chewy64> reisio, The one monitor is tied to the monitor, and in PCIe0, so it just works out the gate.
[17:06] <Chewy64> The one GPU is tied*
[17:06] <reisio> Chewy64: the one 290x?
[17:06] <Chewy64> It's a 7950.
[17:06] <tonsofpcs> where are service scripts contained?  (I have software that I manually built and installed on a new machine since it was pulled from ubuntu repos, I have the service scripts on an older machine, I just want to migrate and update them as necessary)
[17:06] <reisio> so "no" is the answer to my question
[17:06] <reisio> how about the ones that aren't working
[17:06] <reisio> how have you attempted to utilize one of them
[17:06] <teward|pc> tonsofpcs: if by 'service' scripts you mean scripts that run from `sudo service SOMETHING start` or such, check /etc/init.d/
[17:07] <teward|pc> tonsofpcs: if you mean some other scripts, that'll depend on the software and you need to look through what got installed.
[17:07] <Chewy64> reisio, I can't use any single GPU unless it is in PCIe0. So when I attempt to use one, and only one, I have to plug it into PCIe0.
[17:07] <tonsofpcs> teward|pc: that's them, yes.  I didn't realize it still just called init.d scripts.  I can do that ;)
[17:07] <reisio> Chewy64: and that's your problem, you want them to work outside of PCIe0?
[17:07] <dafedz> I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I'm wondering what the compatability issues are like with the Lenovo T430 series with Ubuntu/Xubuntu
[17:08] <reisio> dafedz: likely 100% supported, but the static internet would know
[17:08] <dafedz> oh thanks for that reisio
[17:08] <dafedz> I was just hoping some hardcore nerds would be able to provide some insight on here as well with regards to performance
[17:09] <Chewy64> reisio, I want them all to work, at the same time. Which accordingly, I can read the temps, clocks, etc of all four cards using aticonfig. They just can't actually do anything (IE, if I plug a monitor into a card not plugged into PCIe0, it doesn;t display anything. I can't select them in the render program to render with, etc.)
[17:09] <reisio> dafedz: http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ http://linux-laptop.net/ https://www.google.com/search?q=%22yourmodel%22+site:ubuntuforums.org
[17:09] <reisio> Chewy64: yes you said many times
[17:09] <reisio> Chewy64: first you need to get one of them to work at all
[17:09] <dafedz> cheers reisio
[17:09] <reisio> Chewy64: so please explain how you have attempted to do that so far
[17:09] <penko> hi, i think that i install flash player but in fact there isn`t flash :(   what to do now?
[17:10] <reisio> penko: how do you think you installed it?
[17:10] <penko> i copy libflashplayer.so to /home/penko./mozilla/plugins
[17:10] <penko> also to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
[17:10] <reisio> penko: that is the wrong way
[17:10] <reisio> penko: you should undo all of that
[17:10] <penko> firefox****
[17:11] <reisio> penko: once you've undone what you did, follow this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash
[17:11] <penko> rm /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/lib***.so?
[17:11] <Chewy64> reisio, By running aticonfig --initial --adapter=all -f (Which is what allows me to read all cards info) I know very, very, little about grpahics related shit, so my knowledge kind of ends there. I have tried several driver and kernel versions as well.
[17:11] <tonsofpcs> teward|pc: cheers :)
[17:11] <reisio> penko: whatever it is you did
[17:11] <penko> thank you. i`ll do it and try
[17:12] <teward|pc> tonsofpcs: you're welcome.  :)
[17:12] <penko> i try this before copy files but no luck
[17:13] <penko> i also perform apt-get install flash-plugin-installer
[17:13] <penko> but no flash
[17:15] <k1l> penko: use pepperflashplugin-nonfree on 14.04
[17:15] <Chewy64> reisio, Sorry I'm not much help here. I haven't use linux for long, and am just heading down this road because the render software stopped building Windows servers.
[17:16] <abhinavmehta> is there any irc client, which I can run on CLI(server) and which store all chat text in some file, which could be retrived lateron
[17:16] <reisio> Chewy64: what's the software?
[17:16] <reisio> abhinavmehta: irssi, with logging enabled
[17:16] <reisio> abhinavmehta: http://www.irssi.org/documentation/startup#c8
[17:17] <abhinavmehta> reisio: TY, helpful! :)
[17:17] <Yurij> кто нибуть знает как настроить qemu для эмуляции arm?
[17:17] <k1l> !ru | Yurij
[17:17] <Chewy64> reisio, The server is called PhotoView Render Server. It's for Dassault programs, no idea who actualyl writes the software (We buy it through the dassault VAR)
[17:18] <reisio> Yurij: dpkg -L qemu | grep -i bin | grep -i arm
[17:18] <reisio> Chewy64: yikes, dassault, so it's crazy expensive :p
[17:18] <Bladewolf> ubottu: What the hell was that, that you posted?
[17:18] <reisio> Chewy64: and it says it doesn't detect your gpus?
[17:19] <Chewy64> reisio, I'm disinclined to believe it's the program, as nothing else works either. Not monitor output, not stress test will run on them, etc.
[17:19] <reisio> Bladewolf: "hello comrade, we are having a grand party in #ubuntu-ru"
[17:19] <DoomBoom> ubottu is cute
[17:19] <Bladewolf> reisio: Thanks (If that really IS what you posted)
[17:19] <Bladewolf> s/"what you posted"/"what it posted"
[17:20] <Chewy64> reisio, They don;t show up in the render server, yes. Nor do they show up when attempting to run stress test, etc.
[17:21] <reisio> Chewy64: okay, you said you installed fglrx driver?
[17:21] <Chewy64> reisio, Sure did.
[17:21] <gulag2014>  I'm attempting to tar the /etc/ directory. I'm getting permission denies. Is there an easy way to segregate only the files in a directory that have different ownership permissions?
[17:22] <Neo31> Hello folks, I am trying to install teamviewer on ubuntu 14.04 64 bit and i get some dependencies errors, any help please? http://paste.ubuntu.com/7346656/
[17:22] <reisio> Chewy64: and you made yourself a xorg.conf?
[17:22] <gulag2014> Teamviewer works with the 32 bit version of the .deb I believe.
[17:22] <reisio> Neo31: just use the tarball from teamviewer.com
[17:23] <reisio> gulag2014: using 'find'
[17:23] <aquaguy> Hello, I'm trying to use dnotify to execute a .sh script when a change happens inside a folder (file modified, created...) but my 14.04 machine says unknown command. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/en/man1/dnotify.1.html
[17:23] <aquaguy> What package should I install in order to use it? Or should I use other command / tool instead?
[17:24] <Neo31> reisio: do you mean i should compile it ?
[17:24] <reisio> aquaguy: ask apt-file
[17:24] <reisio> Neo31: no, you just download, extract, and run it
[17:24] <reisio> ordinarily I would say that is the wrong way to do it, but teamviewer is a win32 application that runs via Wine, and people seem to have quite a lot of trouble installing it the normal way
[17:25] <penko> did i need to remove    /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libflashplayer.so,/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so,/home/penko/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[17:25] <reisio> penko: if you put those there personally, yes
[17:25] <penko> also did i need to unistall gnash?
[17:25] <penko> yes. i manual copy flash to this locations
[17:25] <Neo31> i am trying your solution reisio

[17:26] <scottsdesk> Hello, Need help with installation of Ubuntu on ASUS x73be laptop... pretty advanced and been running it on this but have some technical issuse to ask about
[17:26] <veryhappy> hey guys, i figured out why my minimal ubuntu installation doesn't go forward... the net-retriever doesn't seem to find the packages, now i tried to choose the manual mirror and edit the path, looked good actually except for the fact that it didn't proceed anyway, there was just no error on tty4 saying that the certificate or whatever looked good, what can i do? i want to use a minimal...
[17:26] <veryhappy> ...environment that i can set up to fit my needs, any idea?
[17:26] <penko> and when i install pepperflash did i need to do something?
[17:26] <reisio> penko: you won't need gnash, so you may as well uninstall it
[17:26] <Chewy64> reisio, Yes. I can pastebin it if you'd like.
[17:26] <trism> aquaguy: dnotify was deleted in oneiric, you'll probably want to use inotify-tools now
[17:26] <reisio> penko: you don't need pepperflash either, AFAIK
[17:26] <reisio> but I'm not familiar with 14.x specific issues
[17:27] <aquaguy> trism: thanks
[17:27] <ironside> Whats up fellas ?
[17:27] <veryhappy> ironside: a lot :D
[17:27] <yellabs-r2> hi there ,
[17:27] <ironside> I thought the irc chats are dead
[17:28] <reisio> nawp
[17:28] <reisio> each IRC server does die over time, though, that's natural
[17:28] <reisio> new ones replace them
[17:28] <ironside> nice
[17:28] <yellabs-r2> ubuntu 14.04 with update of firefox - kills firefox and it crashes ( does not show up anymore ) cant trace  crash report..
[17:28] <Chewy64> reisio, www.pastebin.com/zfmRerzG
[17:29] <Neo31> reisio: could not load tvwine.dll.so library
[17:29] <Neo31> any idea ?
[17:29] <reisio> Chewy64: but X uses the sapphire instead?
[17:29] <reisio> Neo31: what says that?
[17:29] <penko> reisio, but earlier you told me to install pepperflash...
[17:29] <reisio> penko: nope, that was someone in the peanut gallery
[17:29] <someHuman> Hello, how do I make grub2 my default OS boot manager rather Windows'?
[17:30] <Chewy64> reisio, The Sapphire is in PCIe0, so yeah it uses it output to display.
[17:30] <reisio> someHuman: is it not now?
[17:30] <Randy_O> anyone ge tthe error  ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host when trying to run an app from QT Creator onto a device
[17:30] <reisio> Chewy64: oohhhh, right right, then you don't even need a xorg.conf for the ati cards :p
[17:30] <Chewy64> reisio, I only have one monitor (And not a real monitor, a KVM) tied to the rig.
[17:30] <reisio> okay
[17:30] <someHuman> reisio: Nope, I have to go to change boot options just to boot into Ubuntu.
[17:30] <reisio> someHuman: you have to what?
[17:30] <someHuman> reisio: Windows 8.1 Pro loads if I don't press anything.
[17:30] <penko> yes. my mistake
[17:30] <penko> ok. i remove files. what to do now?
[17:31] <someHuman> reisio: Press F9, I am using HP.
[17:31] <R2--D2> hi guys i made a bootable 14.04 cd with unetbootin ...Now i want to keep my configurations and apps while i transition to it from ubuntu 12.04 ... how shoudl i go about it?
[17:31] <reisio> penko: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash
[17:31] <reisio> someHuman: ah
[17:31] <reisio> someHuman: to what, choose a different _disk_?
[17:31] <Chewy64> reisio, I've been told that before too. (That I don't need Xorg.conf) but it was my understanding that I do need it in order to be able to hardware monitor them. As I mistaken?
[17:31] <Chewy64> Am I*
[17:31] <reisio> R2--D2: configurations from 12.04?
[17:31] <reisio> Chewy64: you need a xorg.conf to use them with X
[17:32] <someHuman> reisio: I guess? To make myself clearer, I still need to press F9( change boot options) just to boot into Ubuntu.
[17:32] <reisio> Chewy64: shouldn't need them for a render farm, can't imagine you would
[17:32] <reisio> Chewy64: I don't suppose it matters, though, if X is working
[17:32] <R2--D2> keep configuration files of my apps like sublimetext etc
[17:32] <reisio> someHuman: you have two hard disks?
[17:32] <reisio> R2--D2: from what, the hard disk install?
[17:32] <someHuman> reisio: What do you mean?
[17:32] <someHuman> reisio: I do have two OSes.
[17:32] <reisio> someHuman: how many hard drives?
[17:32] <Chewy64> reisio, The only thing I need is to be able to hardware monitor them. And the only way I have been able to do that is to enable them all in the Xorg.
[17:33] <reisio> Chewy64: so... what's the problem?
[17:33] <Chewy64> reisio, They don't work.
[17:33] <yellabs-r2> ubuntu 14.04 with update of firefox - kills firefox and it crashes ( does not show up anymore ) cant trace  crash report..
[17:33] <R2--D2> i just run ubuntu 12.04 in my desktop
[17:33] <someHuman> reisio: I just want a menu that shows me all of my OSes on bootup, then let's me choose which one to boot into.
[17:33] <penko> ok. i got restricted addons and extras.  but there isn`t flash in mozilla
[17:33] <Chewy64> And they aren't DOA or anything.
[17:33] <reisio> someHuman: yes I know
[17:34] <reisio> someHuman: you don't know how many hard disks you have?
[17:34] <someHuman> reisio: Nope :(
[17:34] <reisio> someHuman: can you install pastebinit and run lsblk -f | pastebinit ?
[17:34] <reisio> R2--D2: you want to update 12.04 to 14?
[17:34] <R2--D2> yes
[17:35] <hehehe> :)
[17:35] <R2--D2> i guess i could do it update by updates
[17:35] <R2--D2> but it will be a mammoth weaste of my time
[17:35] <R2--D2> *waste
[17:35] <k1l> R2--D2: which update are you talking baout?
[17:35] <k1l> +about
[17:36] <R2--D2> updating from 12.04 to 12.10 ..... and then till 14.04
[17:36] <hehehe> folks when I run nestat I see  tcp6       0      0 localhost.localdom:9370 localhost.localdo:59022 TIME_WAIT what does time wait means?
[17:36] <someHuman> reisio: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7346748/
[17:36] <Chewy64> reisio, Again it's hard to explain. I don't need them to output to display, I need them to be able to been seen by the render software, and be hardware monitored. The cards won't do anything computation/display wise, but I can hardware monitor them after I run "aticonfig --initial --adapter=-all -f" but they still won't output to display or cdo computations.
[17:36] <k1l> R2--D2: so you want from 12.04 to 14.04?
[17:36] <R2--D2> yes
[17:36] <llutz> R2--D2: " do-release-upgrade -d"
[17:36] <R2--D2> any way ?
[17:36] <reisio> R2--D2: so you want to backup 12 and then do a fresh install of 14?
[17:36] <hehehe> and also other ports use IPV4 and this one IPV6
[17:36] <hehehe> bizzare
[17:37] <R2--D2> I want to keep all my apps and configs and upgrade to 14.04 LTS from 12.04 LTS
[17:37] <k1l> R2--D2: the official 12.04 lts to 14.04 lts update will be opened on 27th july when 14.04 will become 14.04.1
[17:37] <veryhappy> nobody know an answer?
[17:37] <k1l> R2--D2: but you can try the developer update from 12.04 to 14.04
[17:37] <reisio> veryhappy: 42
[17:37] <R2--D2> aah ....
[17:38] <R2--D2> do-release-upgrade -d   by this i get a developer upgrade?
[17:38] <hehehe> very happy answer to what?
[17:38] <StrangeNoises> you get the 14.04 actual release
[17:38] <k1l> R2--D2: yes
[17:38] <hehehe> I migfht be able to help u
[17:38] <StrangeNoises> but for people who care about stability, .0 releases don't count :-)
[17:39] <StrangeNoises> so for them, 14.04.0 is "developer" :-)
[17:39] <R2--D2> i have downlaoded the 14.04 iso and made a bootbable ubuntu 14.04 with unetbootin
[17:39] <k1l> StrangeNoises: that is the reason why its opened on 27th july :)
[17:39] <reisio> R2--D2: you have a place to backup your data?
[17:39] <StrangeNoises> some of the rest of us have been running 14.04 on production desktops for a few months now ;-D
[17:39] <k1l> R2--D2: you dont need the iso for updateing
[17:39] <StrangeNoises> but that's just because i like computing to be a bit more interesting sometimes
[17:40] <danielsu> close
[17:40] <R2--D2> yes i have a place to backup my data ....
[17:40] <hehehe> :P
[17:40] <R2--D2> :P
[17:42] <reisio> R2--D2: so what's stopping you?
[17:42] <R2--D2> i don't have complete knowhow of linux filesystems
[17:42] <R2--D2> i may mess it up
[17:42] <R2--D2> i haven't done this before
[17:43] <k1l> R2--D2: if you dont know much about ubuntu and you want a stable system i suggest you wait for the official LTS to LTS upgrade on 27th july
[17:44] <k1l> and backups are very clever when murphys law strikes back :)
[17:44] <R2--D2> yeah that is not too much time from now :P
[17:45] <veryhappy> k1l: the official 14.04 LTS upgrade may end in several bug searching, myself i found a lot of bugs even the grub-installer didn't work. i'd say have fun then, better stay with the version you use now...
[17:45] <reisio> R2--D2: if you have the space, a whole fs backup is simple
[17:46] <reisio> R2--D2: use lsblk -f to find your partitions, mount them with 'mount', then rsync -av /mnt/ubuntu /mnt/backup/
[17:46] <Beldar> veryhappy, The official lts is in july
[17:46] <reisio> R2--D2: if you don't you have to figure out which parts to backup, usually /home/ will be most important
[17:46] <k1l> veryhappy: the upgrades get automated testing and work. but that may depend on the personal special setup
[17:46] <veryhappy> Beldar: so why it's out then already when there's a lot of bugs in there?
[17:47] <k1l> veryhappy: did you try to help fix those bugs?
[17:47] <Beldar> veryhappy, Heh, your definition of a bug may not be the same as a developers.
[17:47] <R2--D2> okay now it seems waiting for 27th july will be a better idea :P :DS
[17:47] <reisio> :p
[17:47] <veryhappy> Beldar: i just want to give you the hint that i'm to become a developer as well. hope that helps.
[17:48] <veryhappy> anyway, i'm gonna try to find a solution for my problem that i have right now with ubuntu 12.04 amd64
[17:48] <Beldar> veryhappy, Nice wish, I have many to, never to achieve. ;)
[17:48] <R2--D2> okay anyways guys i wanted to thank you all for providing us with such a free and wonderful os :)
[17:49] <veryhappy> Beldar: get yourself a nice fairy, perhaps it's gonna become fulfilled...
[17:49] <sergio-br2> hello
[17:49] <reisio> heya
[17:50] <Beldar> veryhappy, Actually I have achieved more in the 49 years on this planet than many, so I'm pretty happy, I'm not a kid.
[17:50] <sergio-br2> i made a package that have a website link in debian/control, but it does not appears in synaptic or software center...
[17:51] <reisio> sergio-br2: uhhh, pick a distro, then /join #distro
[17:51] <alexbligh1> What's the recommended way to upgrade a server from 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TrustyUpgrades says if you have something other than 13.10, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes which refers you back to the former. do-release-upgrade does nothing.
[17:51] <k1l> alexbligh1: wait for the LTS to LTS upgrade that will be opened on 27th july when 14.04.1 is released
[17:51] <sergio-br2> reisio, the package is for ubuntu (12.04, 13.10, 14.04)
[17:52] <reisio> oh this is #ubuntu :p
[17:52] <alexbligh1> k11, yes but what is the recommended way to do it /now/.
[17:52] <stefg> Hi channel, my newly installed ubuntu 14.04 decided to not let me access removable media with anything less than root-privileges. I get the sidebar icons and the usb-drive shows up in nautilus/nemo, but trying to access them gives me gedit?! stating that i don't have access rights. Any gvfs/udev experts in here that can help me debug this?
[17:52] <k1l> alexbligh1: use the developer upgrade parameter
[17:53] <alexbligh1> k11, ah - '-d' should work? fantastic, thanks
[17:53] <veryhappy> Beldar: may your age help you be happy about your wisdom, i'm happy that i'm still a young guy, and who knows, maybe i'm gonna become also very good and reach more than you with your age, not to be rude, it's just an idea... ;)
[17:53] <sergio-br2> reisio, one later version of my ppa, it was normal this website thing. Then, i made a new version with a recipe, and now i missed the website link
[17:53] <k1l> alexbligh1: but be aware that is not the LTS upgrade
[17:54] <alexbligh1> k11, yep I know that. I just want to run trusty on something I am currently running precise on, so I can test stuff.
[17:54] <k1l> veryhappy: please focus on technical ubuntu support in here. thanks
[17:54] <sergio-br2> reisio, later not, * early
[17:55] <owen1> i try to install sogou input method - http://pinyin.sogou.com/linux/. there is a deb file but i prefer to use the ppa, to enjoy auto-updates. clicking on the 64bit link send me here: http://pinyin.sogou.com/linux/help.php but i get 'Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/fcitx-team/nightly/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404' after i type 'apt-get update'. any advice?
[17:55] <veryhappy> k11, i was just answering to him, no reason to bitch about support topic, i know it already, thanks for the information.
[17:56] <cybrNaut> would someone with java please run "aptitude changelog openjdk-6-jdk".. i get 404 not found and I wonder if the problem is on my end or the server (i'm on debian, so it'll also be interesting if ubuntu differs)
[17:56] <veryhappy> btw i found a solution for my problem myself, take care
[17:56] <trism> owen1: they do not have builds for 14.04 yet
[17:57] <trism> cybrNaut: works fine here but ours come from http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/
[17:57] <alexbligh1> cybrNaut, works here on precise. I happen to know that package has had security changes recently so would suggest apt-get update first
[17:58] <cybrNaut> thanks folks.. i appreciate it
[17:58] <owen1> trism: but it say: 支持：Ubuntu12.04及14.04 (support for)
[17:59] <trism> owen1: it can say whatever it wants but the ppa does not contain the builds for 14.04
[17:59] <owen1> trism: oh. so what are my options here?
[17:59] <owen1> and how can i see what u just mentioned?
[18:01] <trism> owen1: this is the ppa you linked: https://launchpad.net/~fcitx-team/+archive/nightly look at the published in dropdown
[18:01] <llutz> owen1: or check http://ppa.launchpad.net/fcitx-team/nightly/ubuntu/dists/   no "trusty/" at all
[18:01] <owen1> trism: also this mentioned he installed it on 14.04 - http://askubuntu.com/questions/450255/installing-sogou
[18:01] <owen1> he just didn't say how ):
[18:02] <stefg> Arrghhhh... now the removable media are mounted under a sub-dir named after the user in /media ... so that folder belonged to root (for no apparent reason. Why can't working concepts not be left alone... adding complexity only adds trouble
[18:02] <trism> owen1: he used the daily ppa, which does have trusty builds
[18:03] <trism> owen1: https://launchpad.net/~fcitx-team/+archive/dailybuild-fcitx-master
[18:03] <owen1> trism: omg. thanks. i'll add that ppa instead of the nightly!
[18:03] <trism> owen1: but since the first answer suggests removing that, I don't think you should do that, and just install the deb
[18:04] <convict> Anyone here experienced with ubuntu on macbook pro's? Have discrete gpu switching problems.
[18:05] <owen1> trism: i tried the deb, it told me i am missing fcitx. when i tried installing fctix it told me i miss more packages and suggested 'apt-get -f install'. is there any risk in doing that? should i purge ibus?
[18:06] <Gape> Hello, for 6 months now, ubuntu thinks it's on version 13.04 but everything is updated to 13.10 so when I start the upgrade it doesn't do anything
[18:06] <trism> owen1: apt-get -f install is fine and usual behavior after installing a deb because you need to get the deps
[18:06] <owen1> trism: cool. should i purge ibus or it's better to have both ibus and fctix?
[18:06] <Gape> It's a problem now because I want to upgrade to 14.04, so i decided to manually edit /etc/lsb_release and /etc/issue, but I'm not sure what should i put into
[18:07] <trism> owen1: I have no idea about the software itself, never used it, I use ibus/mozc
[18:07] <trism> owen1: some things in unity dep on ibus though so you probably shouldn't purge it
[18:08] <owen1> tibr: thanks!
[18:08] <owen1> i meant trism ^
[18:08] <streulma> hello, sometimes my webcam is recognised as SPCA device, sometimes it is HD Webcam (that's official). Now with lsusb it is not listed anymore. >> If I start Skype or Google Hangouts the camera crashes.
[18:09] <streulma> the camera is not in lsusb anymore
[18:10] <streulma> who can help ?

[18:11] <owen1> trism: maybe i need to stop the ibus daemon?
[18:13] <trism> owen1: yeah probably, you might want to set the Keyboard input method in language settings then log out/back in, I think it defaults to ibus
[18:13] <owen1> trism: ok. let's see
[18:15] <owen1> trism: do u know of a way to do that using the console? just curious. i love to have scripts for every new ubuntu and rather not open GUI.
[18:16] <owen1> maybe im-config
[18:16] <trism> owen1: yeah

[18:16] <gib05_000> hello all, im new to ubuntu trying to get away from windows. that being said what would be the best way going about learning the system?
[18:16] <Felishia> how do I pause a release upgrade?

[18:19] <kostkon> !manual | gib05_000
[18:19] <Felishia> I was thinking of sudo pm-hibenate
[18:20] <StrangeNoises> gib05_000: just use it, commit to it and don't give up and be ready to look for stuff that might be just in a bit of a different place than you're used to.
[18:20] <StrangeNoises> that's all

[18:25] <Guest4468> Hi guys. Was working away in Lubuntu-13.10, got informed 14.04 was available do I wish to upgrade? Yes. When the upgrade was complete PC rebooted into a panic. Currently typing this from a usb-rescue. What can I do?
[18:26] <bekks> Guest4468: Tell us the details of the panic.
[18:26] <srock> irc faq file
[18:27] <bekks> srock: ?
[18:27] <Guest4468> bekks: the usual: "Panic: Unable to mount rootfs on unknown-block(0,0)
[18:27] <Guest4468> PC stops dead.
[18:27] <bekks> Guest4468: Which hardware do you have, exactly?
[18:28] <Anomie21> What we are doing with the sed commands: Find these lines and change them:
[18:28] <Anomie21> How do I find these lines? grep? not sure what a sed command is

[18:29] <jhutchins> !fixgrub
[18:29] <bekks> Anomie21: The "sed lines" are listed there.
[18:29]  * danonura slaps jid around a bit with a large trout
[18:29] <Guest4468> jhutchins: it boots to the old grub window - when I click Ubuntu it panics.
[18:29] <Anomie21> bekks: Sorry, not sure what to do with them? Just paste them into terminal? grep the files for those lines? is sed some command I can run to replace these lines? :s
[18:30] <bekks> Anomie21: Execute them.
[18:31] <Guest4468> least I think it's the old grub. It's got entries I've since deleted.
[18:31] <bekks> Anomie21: If you dont know what to do with commands it is most likely better to not do what you are doing there :)
[18:31] <jhutchins> Guest4468: grub is pointing to the wrong device.

[18:34] <ashish_> failed to login other user accounts after removing gnome. main user account is running with unity
[18:35] <jhutchins> davidcalle: Try googling "recover postgress password".  Looks very helpful.
[18:35] <tr0n> it downloads the upgrades but installation fails
[18:35] <Beldar> koell, I'm not sure what the mods are, you can turn it off or on.
[18:35] <davidcalle> duvipearson, ^
[18:35] <duvipearson> ok
[18:35] <koell> Beldar: i think it has to do with unity integration :)
[18:35] <xangua> ashish_: so did you try to change the user account session from gnome to unity¿
[18:36] <michagogo|cloud> Anyone have an idea why https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/bitcoin/+sourcepub/4094734/+listing-archive-extra and https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/bitcoin/+sourcepub/4094732/+listing-archive-extra both succeeded for amd64 but failed for i386?
[18:37] <Beldar> koell, I think that is part of it yeah, not sure really, I have it off in the gnome shell
[18:37] <ashish_> xangua, i was using gnome. after that i switched to unity and removed gnome. now because of removing gnome i cant login other user account. my main account is running with unity fime
[18:37] <ashish_> fine
[18:37] <koell> Beldar: hahah, so nothing to worry about xD
[18:37] <xangua> michagogo|cloud: maybe the 32bit packages didn't get buld, concact the repository maintainer
[18:37] <deepfield> Hi, Been having problems running 3d games as far as odd graphical glitches go. im guessing its to do with my drivers. But im not sure which one I should be using. This is what I have to pick from. http://imgur.com/YhVMBfa
[18:37] <michagogo|cloud> xangua: hm?
[18:38] <michagogo|cloud> The 32-bit packages failed the build
[18:38] <michagogo|cloud> I know that
[18:38] <ashish_> xangua, i think for other user accounts, default desktop is gnome thats why i am not able to login. how can i change desktop session for that accounts
[18:38] <tr0n> !upgrade
[18:38] <michagogo|cloud> What I'm asking is, does anyone have any idea why? It seems to happen when configure is looking for boost
[18:38] <xangua> ashish_: did you try to CHANGE the OTHERS users default desktop to unity¿ you can do it on the login screen
[18:38] <michagogo|cloud> Are the boost packages on i386 and amd64 different?
[18:39] <ashish_> xangua, after removing gnome desktop, now there is no session selection option in login window
[18:39] <xangua> michagogo|cloud: yes they failes, you may wanna contact the PPA maintainer to ask if hi is aware or tell any problems you have with that repository
[18:39] <xangua> ashish_: so install it back
[18:40] <ashish_> xangua, there is no other option?
[18:40] <xangua> ashish_: well gnome-shell is not a big package and you already have most of gnome desktop already
[18:40] <joejoemister> What are we talking about
[18:41] <ashish_> xangua, actually just now i created new user account but that one also i am not able to login. its default creating login as gnome
[18:42] <michagogo|cloud> Does anyone besides xangua  have any idea why https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/bitcoin/+sourcepub/4094734/+listing-archive-extra and https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/bitcoin/+sourcepub/4094732/+listing-archive-extra both succeeded for amd64 but failed for i386?
[18:42] <xangua> michagogo|cloud: did you already contact the PPA maintainer¿
[18:44] <michagogo|cloud> xangua: yes, he's busy and not around much. I figured I'd try to see if I could help him out by seeing if anyone else can tell, at a glance, what might be different
[18:47] <nerium> Anyone know if magnet files exists?
[18:47] <narcos> Hi all. Could anyone recommend a tutorial for setting up an IRC server on Ubuntu with SSL enforced (compulsory) and a password req'd to connect ?
[18:48] <michagogo|cloud> nerium: do you mean magnet links?
[18:48] <StrangeNoises> nerium: they exist, but on linux you have to reverse the polarity
[18:48] <nerium> michagogo|cloud: Yes and no.
[18:48] <nerium> I need to create magnet filés (instead of links) for a RSS feed used by utorrent
[18:48] <daftykins> narcos: IRCd's are particularly complex, if you wanted to run one you should understand it a lot better than just following a tutorial. are you sure that's the best approach for what you're trying to achieve?
[18:48] <michagogo|cloud> nerium: Do you mean a .torrent file?
[18:49] <nerium> michagogo|cloud: A torrent file contains more info than a magnet link, so no :)
[18:49] <michagogo|cloud> Erm
[18:49] <michagogo|cloud> echo magnet:<foo> >> bar.magnetfile
[18:49] <michagogo|cloud> Is that what you're looking for?
[18:49] <tr0n> http://pastebin.com/1DhT1WJv <- help
[18:49] <david______> hi
[18:49] <michagogo|cloud> I don't think a magnet file is a thing
[18:50] <fabio123> it's just a url
[18:50] <nerium> michagogo|cloud: So if I want to serve that from a server, wich content type would I use?
[18:50] <michagogo|cloud> nerium: I was kidding
[18:50] <michagogo|cloud> I don't know that any software will do anything intelligent with that file
[18:51] <nerium> michagogo|cloud: Propebly not
[18:51] <narcos> daftykins: I want to setup an IRC server for a few people to communicate - over SSL, with a password to connect to the server. Are there simpler IRC servers?
[18:51] <StrangeNoises> simpler than what?
[18:51] <nerium> The thing is that I need to force utorrent to do a request back to my server requesting the magnet link
[18:51] <tr0n> this isnt an ircd help channel narcos
[18:51] <srock> magent download work better if theres a lack of seeders
[18:52] <srock> magntic
[18:52] <bekks> srock: "magnet".
[18:52] <srock> that to
[18:52] <narcos> tr0n: I'm running Ubuntu if that helps. Know where I should go?
[18:52]  * narcos pokes his head into #ircd
[18:52] <tr0n> umm #ircd?
[18:53] <tr0n> maybe try it on dal or efnet
[18:53] <michagogo|cloud> nerium: what's the point?
[18:53] <nerium> michagogo|cloud: I want to track downloads
[18:53] <michagogo|cloud> Why don't you just put the .torrent there?
[18:53] <narcos> I thought this would be a trivial thing
[18:53] <nerium> michagogo|cloud: b/c I don't have any
[18:53] <tr0n> no, ircd's are complex
[18:53] <michagogo|cloud> uh, what?
[18:54] <michagogo|cloud> A magnet link points to a torrent
[18:54] <nerium> michagogo|cloud: Building one based on the info provided by the magnet link wont work in utorrent
[18:54] <narcos> Well, it was trivial to setup a server with hybrid-irc (apt-get install, change a couple of configs) but getting SSL support lacks documentation
[18:54] <michagogo|cloud> A .torrent must exist.
[18:54] <nerium> michagogo|cloud: Maybe somewhere in the cloud
[18:54] <tr0n> well its beyond the scope of this channel
[18:54]  * narcos finds http://www.davidxia.com/2013/03/how-to-setup-ircd-hybrid-with-ssl-on-ubuntu/
[18:54] <gamoholic> Did something happen to the Intel video driver between 13.10 and 14.04? I have a 2560x1440 monitor that no longer gets recognized with kernels higher than 3.11. I have even tried 3.14 and 3.15 from kernel.ubuntu.com
[18:54] <StrangeNoises> narcos: i use inspircd on a little irc network. supports ssl; haven't tried password-to-connect though
[18:55] <StrangeNoises> i don't think it's an ubuntu package though; so generic linux only
[18:55] <narcos> StrangeNoises: Ah great, thanks for the tip
[18:55] <StrangeNoises> (ie: offtopic here ;-)
[18:55] <nerium> michagogo|cloud: But I don't have it
[18:55] <mozzarella> guys
[18:55] <tr0n> or just get the cryptocat plugin and make a room there
[18:55] <mozzarella> can I display the current time in the lockscreen? in a big font
[18:56] <michagogo|cloud> ...fetch it from the magnet link?
[18:56] <michagogo|cloud> Sorry, I don't think I can help you
[18:57] <nerium> michagogo|cloud: I've 50k+ magnet links, so fetching all torrents isn't an option

[19:19] <AverageDood> 14.04 tried booting alongside win8 after trying from a flash drive. Trial worked well so i tried installing. not a vm
[19:19] <oenvoyage> sound is broekn too suddenly (not sure if related)
[19:20] <spearson> Does anyone have any solutions?
[19:23] <pvh_sa> heya there... I'm running ubuntu 13.10, just did a dist-upgrade and reboot, and now when I log in, I just get a black screen instead of a session (and it seems compiz isn't running btw)
[19:24] <_1_Ebola_86> Hello.
[19:24] <spearson> I'm running v13.10
[19:25] <_1_Ebola_86> Do you know if Ubuntu is capable of reading 1980s IDE/PATA hard drives, or is my drive just dead?
[19:25] <_1_Ebola_86> *(Ubuntu 14.04)
[19:26] <spearson> does any one have any solutions to the issue I'm experiencing?
[19:26] <dw1> pvh_sa: ctrl-alt-f1 to get to terminal and install video driver
[19:26] <dw1> spearson: 13.10 is no longer supported so noone can 'officially' help
[19:27] <spearson> I'm trying to upgrade to 14.04 but those two updates seem to prevent it
[19:27] <dw1> pvh_sa: for nvidia install nvidia-current, for AMD I might recommend purging fglrx
[19:27] <spearson> anyway I can force the update to 14.04?
[19:28] <pvh_sa> dw1: its an intel chip... driver is installed but just to be safe i'm reinstalling xserver-xorg-video-intel
[19:28] <dw1> spearson: i dont know... could try removing them
[19:28] <spearson> I don't want tot reinstall the os
[19:28] <spearson> removing cups?
[19:28] <dw1> pvh_sa: could try removing driver too
[19:28] <Beldar> spearson, Are you using the cups ppa?
[19:28] <spearson> not sure
[19:28] <pvh_sa> thing is, I see the greeter fine. no problems there...
[19:29] <dw1> pvh_sa: may want to check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for clues
[19:29] <spearson> if I remove cups, wil 14.04 install it again?
[19:29] <dw1> if not, you can
[19:30] <Beldar> spearson, can you pastebin the output from this command. grep -vr "^#" /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/}  THis will list all the repos you are using
[19:30] <spearson> 1 sec, not in ubuntu now running OS X
[19:30] <spearson> let me reboot
[19:30] <spearson> back a minute
[19:30] <Beldar> no problem, spearson
[19:30] <Keba> hi there

[19:30] <spearson> me*
[19:30] <Beldar> cool
[19:31] <Keba> Is there a way to use the Software Center to install the games of the latest Humble Weekly Sale?
[19:31] <Keba> Of course I could download the .debs, but I‘d love to get updates as well
[19:31] <Gaming4JC> Keba: afaik Humble Indie Bundle doesn't offer any PPA or repo, hence it is not possible. :/
[19:32] <pvh_sa> dw1: Xorg log looks ok. I think this is something besides the core X stuff - its something in the gnome-session, but I can't find a log for that...
[19:32] <Keba> Gaming4JC: thats sad, but okay
[19:33] <dw1> pvh_sa: ~/.xsession-errors may have some info
[19:34] <dw1> pvh_sa: what do you mean by the greeter works?  you get to/past the login screen?
[19:35] <dw1> pvh_sa: if login works, what happens if you create a new user and login
[19:36] <spearson> Ok I'm back
[19:36] <spearson> what did you want me t do?
[19:36] <pvh_sa> dw1: good idea. ahah, xsession-errors says "extension "GLX" missing on display ":0""
[19:36] <spearson> to*
[19:37] <Beldar> spearson, can you pastebin the output from this command. grep -vr "^#" /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/}  THis will list all the repos you are using
[19:37] <dw1> pvh_sa: ahh
[19:37] <dw1> pvh_sa: just saw something in a forum yesterday about something like that..... let me check
[19:37] <reisio> pvh_sa: that _usually_ is irrelevant to all things, IIRC
[19:38] <someHuman> How do I convert an mp4 video downloaded via youtube-dl to an audio file ?
[19:38] <bekks> someHuman: You cannot convert it, you have to extract the audio.

[19:39] <someHuman> bekks: How?
[19:39] <pvh_sa> ok, then there is an error about at-spi2-registryd main process ended, and finally a complaint that it is respawning too fast...
