[14:28] <cfhowlett> AlexPortable, actually macbuntu might be the place to sart
[14:28] <cfhowlett> AlexPortable, and, of course, www.gnome-look.org
[14:29] <olie> Is anyone available for a network sharing question ?
[14:29] <streulma> hmmmm, I have problem with high resolutions, is there a solution for crisp fonts on scaled resolutions? (1440x900) Retina Macbook Pro 13 inch
[14:30] <streulma> fonts in Chrome and Firefox looks terrible
[14:30] <streulma> bad for my eyes
[14:31] <glcheetham> hi guys, just made the switch a tiling window manager (i3) and I want to get rid of all the gnome packages that I will never use again without breaking the dependencies for chromium, filezilla etc (I assume that this just means making sure I keep gtk) However, when I "apt-get remove --purge gnome-*" apt decides that it wants to install a ton of packages (including mir etc etc) along with removing the ones I told it to r
[14:31] <glcheetham> emove. What do you think is going on?
[14:31] <AlexPortable> ok
[14:31] <AlexPortable> what is default ubuntu font?
[14:31] <cfhowlett> AlexPortable, strangely enough "ubuntu"
[14:32] <AlexPortable> lol
[14:33] <yossarianuk> hi - I have 2 GPU's on my system - an external Nvidia one (my main one)  and a intel one (ingergrated)  - the main one (nvidia) shows the desktop - the intel one just shows the kubuntu logo - how do I control what is on the2nd (intel) GPU?
[14:33] <trijntje> glcheetham: if a package depends on gnome-* or something else, apt will install something else if you remove gnome
[14:33] <Novice201y> Is Ubuntu 14.10.1 being planed?
[14:34] <cfhowlett> Novice201y, no.  it's already been released - about 6 weeks ago.
[14:34] <cfhowlett> Novice201y, dOH!  never mind
[14:34] <yossarianuk> hi - I have 2 GPU's on my system - an external Nvidia one (my main one)  and a intel one (ingergrated)  - the main one (nvidia) shows the desktop - the intel one just shows the kubuntu logo - how do I control what is on the2nd (intel) GPU?
[14:34] <TJ-> yossarianuk: Define an additional X screen in "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[14:35] <yossarianuk> (sorry)
[14:35] <Novice201y> cfhowlett: I mean 14.10 (from October).
[14:35] <cfhowlett> Novice201y, 14.10 is still in beta.  no work on 14.10.1 until it's released
[14:35] <yossarianuk> (didn't mean to re-post..)
[14:35] <MonkeyDust> Novice201y  the current version is 14.04.1
[14:35] <yossarianuk> thanks TJ:
[14:35] <yossarianuk> thanks TJ-:
[14:36] <AlexPortable> any way to disable animations in unity?
[14:36] <AlexPortable> it takes 5 seconds to open dash
[14:36] <glcheetham> trijntje, is there a package that I can remove which will conveniently get rid of all the gnome-extra packages for me (like gnome-calculator etc)?
[14:36] <streulma> has Ubuntu 14.10 better HiDPI support in Unity ?
[14:36] <MonkeyDust> AlexPortable  try ccsm
[14:36] <AlexPortable> what is it?
[14:36] <malmalmal> Hello, I am trying to free space on command prompt and I found, under documents, several files starting with "ubn"
[14:36] <cfhowlett> !14.10 | streulma,
[14:36] <MonkeyDust> streulma  14.10 support in #ubuntu+1
[14:36] <malmalmal> one of them I'd like to delete
[14:36] <yossarianuk> AlexPortable: try unity-tweak-tool
[14:36] <TJ-> glcheetham: You'll need to identify the dependencies; I did something similar earlier. "dpkg -l '*gnome*' | grep '^ii'  ", "apt-cache rdepends <package>" and  "apt-cache depends <package>" will help
[14:37] <yossarianuk> AlexPortable: i would avoid ccsm it can break your desktop/.
[14:37] <glcheetham> TJ, cheers
[14:37] <MonkeyDust> !ccsm | AlexPortable
[14:37] <Novice201y> MonkeyDust: I know, and I'm planning update when 14.10.1 will arrive.
[14:37] <cfhowlett> malmalmal, /documents is empty by default.
[14:37] <malmalmal> Hello, I am trying to free space on command prompt and I found, under documents, several files starting with "ubn", one of them I'd like to delete; "ubninit" 49MB , But I am not sure what is it, seems related to unetbootin
[14:37] <malmalmal> cfhowlett, you mean it is probably safe in system terms
[14:37] <yossarianuk> i.e : http://lifehacker.com/5982844/unity-tweak-tool-customizes-every-inch-of-your-ubuntu-desktop
[14:38] <malmalmal> OS-wise, I mean
[14:38] <AlexPortable> how will it break my desktop
[14:38] <cfhowlett> malmalmal, I don't know what they are, but they aren't OS files.
[14:38] <trijntje> AlexPortable: you could disable unity with that tool, so be carefull what you select
[14:39] <Novice201y> Is it possible to set that only x.x.1 will be installed on this machine?
[14:39] <TJ-> malmalmal: You shouldn't remove files installed by packages. To find out if a file is installed by a package do "dpkg -S <file-name-path-or-fragment>"
[14:39] <AlexPortable> trijntje: ubuntu used to be lightweight
[14:39] <AlexPortable> good for old desktosp
[14:40] <AlexPortable> everything was working out of the box
[14:40] <cfhowlett> Novice201y, you could install then not dist-upgrade.  inadvisable but do-able.
[14:40] <AlexPortable> now you have to mess with uefi settings, install other stuff
[14:40] <malmalmal> thanks TJ- it does not seem to be related to packages
[14:40] <MonkeyDust> AlexPortable  ubuntu does have lightweigt DE's, Unity is just not it
[14:40] <cfhowlett> AlexPortable, things change.  if you want/need lightweight, install lubuntu or xubuntu.
[14:41] <trijntje> AlexPortable: you misremember. Things like video drivers and wireless drivers used to be a lot harder to install. And you'll have to send your complaints about uefi to microsoft ;)
[14:41] <TJ-> malmalmal: The path to the file will often tell you if it is installed by or created by a package
[14:41] <Novice201y> cfhowlett: Or I can set to install only LTS (cause next will arrive in 2018 or 2019) and when 14.10.1 do dist-upgrade.
[14:41] <AlexPortable> lubuntu and xubuntu are too limited and ugly
[14:41] <cfhowlett> Novice201y, next LTS will be 2016 and yes you can set LTS only on your system.  note: 14.10 IS NOT LTS.
[14:41] <MonkeyDust> AlexPortable  then use something light and beautiful
[14:41] <malmalmal> another question, I am using ls -lSh | less , to ouput files in size order .... I am doing this to delete the biggies, BUT I noticed that folders do not appear with their actual size, including what they contain... plus I actually am not sure how to identify folders from files
[14:42] <Novice201y> cfhowlett: Exactly - if 14.10 is not LTS, then 14.10.0 will not be installed automatically.
[14:42] <malmalmal> would there be an option to ls that outputs the size of folders including what they contain ?
[14:42] <TJ-> Novice201y: "/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades" and the "Prompt=lts"
[14:42] <AlexPortable> MonkeyDust: like what?
[14:42] <cfhowlett> Novice201y, choose.  if you want LTS only, your system won't install 14.10
[14:43] <trijntje> malmalmal: du -sh folder
[14:43] <trijntje> malmalmal: or you can go graphical with boabab, it's installed by default
 malmalmal: To analyse where the most disk-space is in use, do "sudo du --one-file-system --max-depth=2 / | sort -n" to find 2 levels of usage sorted so largest use is listed last
[14:43] <Novice201y> Novice201y: But, when I'll know that 14.10.1 arrived then I'll change settings to accept non-LTS dist-upgrades.
[14:43] <malmalmal> thank you both
[14:44] <malmalmal> boabab not present
[14:44] <yossarianuk>  xrandr --listproviders -> shows both
[14:44] <TJ-> Novice201y: There isn't a point release of non-LTS
[14:44] <malmalmal> unless I have to specify path for boabab, trijntje
[14:45] <trijntje> malmalmal: what are you running? Ubuntu desktop has boabab installed by default
[14:45] <malmalmal> it is actually baobab but not present
[14:45] <malmalmal> xubuntu
[14:45] <Novice201y> TJ-: What do You mean?
[14:45] <malmalmal> TJ- I am actually trying to get sizes within Documents and Downloads
[14:46] <trijntje> malmalmal: you can install it from the software center if its not installed
[14:46] <malmalmal> i can't access the system
[14:46] <malmalmal> i am on recovery command prompt
 malmalmal: "du --max-depth=1 $HOME/Documents | sort -n"
[14:46] <malmalmal> thanks TJ-
[14:47] <MonkeyDust> AlexPortable  there are beautiful distro's, but you suggest ubuntu cannot offer what you want
[14:47] <TJ-> malmalmal: You'll need to replace $USER with the real user, otherwise it'll resolve to root not the user account you're aiming for
[14:47] <malmalmal> can I not give the path if I am under it ?
[14:47] <AlexPortable> MonkeyDust: well it used to offer what i want at 10.04
[14:47] <AlexPortable> before unity
[14:48] <cfhowlett> malmalmal, proceeed carefully, doublecheck your doublecheck
[14:48] <TJ-> malmalmal: You'd need to provide at least the relative path "."
[14:48] <AlexPortable> running unity feels like benchmarking
[14:48] <AlexPortable> makes the computer slow
[14:48] <cfhowlett> !flavors | AlexPortable, you need not use unity.  NEED NOT
[14:48] <AlexPortable> and 100% load
[14:48] <cfhowlett> AlexPortable, suggest you check ubuntu-gnome
[14:49] <AlexPortable> cfhowlett: gnome is not intuitive
[14:49] <MonkeyDust> AlexPortable  is there anything you *do* like about ubuntu? if not, don't use it
[14:49] <cfhowlett> AlexPortable, adapt to change or choose another distro.  you are free.  best of luck
[14:49] <AlexPortable> the font, the name
[14:50] <MonkeyDust> AlexPortable  and the wallpaers, no doubt
[14:50] <cfhowlett> AlexPortable, the name?  the NAME?  seriously?
[14:50] <sakamop> It's a nice name.
[14:51] <TJ-> Any name that needed Nelson Mandala to explain how to pronounce, is arguably not a good name! :)
[14:52] <MonkeyDust> gNewSense is pronounced "nuisance" ;)
[14:52] <sakamop> Natural pronounciation is totally broken
[14:52] <cfhowlett> !gnu
[14:52] <malmalmal> TJ- can I get the size output human readable? as in MB ? should i check du man pagE ?
[14:53] <cfhowlett> malmalmal, yes, see the du man page
[14:53] <Netham45> malmalmal, add -h
[14:53] <malmalmal> great thank you all
[14:53] <sakamop> Actually out of the ones I speak, English is probably the most insane, with the most weird corner cases and special exceptions. That's well off-topic though.
[14:54] <TJ-> malmalmal: If you don't want to sort the output, yes. Drop the pipe into sort, and use "-h" in addition
[14:54] <sakamop> I had to be taught how to pronounce the name "Lisa" :-(
[14:58] <AlexPortable> installed ubuntu, installed some themes, now i get black screen
[14:58] <AlexPortable> i think its problem with lightdm
[14:58] <cfhowlett> AlexPortable, could you login?
[14:59] <AlexPortable> in ctrl alt f1 yes
[15:00] <AlexPortable> how to revert lightdm to original settings?
[15:00] <eeee> dpkg-reconfigure lightdm ?
[15:00] <malmalmal> Question ! I booted in recovery then command prompt and am trying to move files from hd to a usb I just inserted. But I am an an intermediate noob and am not sure how to access the usb drive, nor if it is mounted!
[15:00] <eeee> malmalmal: df will tell you if it
[15:01] <cfhowlett> malmalmal, "mount"      will return what is mounted
[15:01] <malmalmal> i'd say is NOT mounted
[15:01] <malmalmal> how do I go about mounting
[15:01] <AlexPortable> nope still black screen
[15:01] <AlexPortable> can anyone help me on this?
[15:01] <TJ-> malmalmal: For root/recovery we usually mount on or under "/mnt/"
[15:02] <TJ-> malmalmal: So e.g. "mount /dev/sdX6 /mnt"
[15:02] <malmalmal> thanks TJ- but I am a bit confused on where to find the unmounted drive
[15:03] <AlexPortable> eeee: well that doesn't removes the black screen
[15:03] <malmalmal> TJ- I can't see a "dev/sdb" sort of thing anywhere under df or mount
[15:03] <TJ-> malmalmal: It is a device right now, under /dev/sd??
[15:04] <eeee> malmalmal: lsblk
[15:04] <TJ-> malinator: If you've connected the device and know what devices/partitions are already there, then "cat /proc/partitions" should help you identify the external device. It'll usually have the last drive letter to be assigned
[15:05] <TJ-> grrr, tab-complete gremlins again
[15:05] <malmalmal> my god this is like a crash course on command prompt maneuvers, thanks guys
[15:06] <AlexPortable> anyone>?
[15:06] <malmalmal> eeee TJ- , with lsblk I can see that this USB device, when connected, adds a sdb->sdb1 and a sdc->sdc1 lines
[15:06] <malmalmal> sdb seems 4m, while sdc 8GB almost, I believe that is the one I should mount ?
[15:07] <malmalmal> 8GB would be the USB total diskspace
[15:07] <eeee> malmalmal: do you have a sd card or something connected too?
[15:07] <malmalmal> eeee nope, and I can confirm that both sdb and sdc belong to the usb drive, as they dissapear when unplugging
[15:08] <eeee> malmalmal: ok, mount sdc and see the files i guess
[15:08] <eeee> mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt
[15:08] <_unreal_> malmalmal, type lsblk
[15:09] <TJ-> malmalmal: Is the device a multimode device? It looks like a cellular modem that has both a virtual CDROM file-system and an SD-card slot
[15:09] <_unreal_> that will list the devices and there mount points and there root source
[15:09] <_unreal_> oh  never mind
[15:10] <malmalmal> Ok thank you... eeee TJ- BUT actually, I am thinking, could I actually boot on live USB and just go on deleting and moving files through GUi?
[15:10] <eeee> malmalmal: yes, you could
[15:10] <TJ-> malmalmal: Yes, of course.
[15:10] <malmalmal> thanks
[15:10] <_unreal_> malmalmal, what is your exact need with this usb storage drive?
[15:11] <malmalmal> it is ok now, _unreal_ , trying to free diskspace on a not booting xubuntu, trhough recovery command prompt, but I better use the GUI on a live usb, right now I was trying to move files to an unmounted usb
[15:11] <malmalmal> look mom I talk in a way many people would not understand already YAY
[15:11] <malmalmal> jaja
[15:12] <_unreal_> hum....
[15:12] <malmalmal> THANK YOU LINUX
[15:12] <cfhowlett> malmalmal, the penguin loves you too.
[15:12] <AlexPortable> what does jaja means?
[15:12] <_unreal_> malmalmal, if your trying to use gui to do file manipulation why not just boot to a live distro off CD
[15:13] <malmalmal> that is actually what I am doing, dear
[15:13] <malmalmal> but thanks for the tip
[15:13] <faqih> hello :D
[15:14] <_unreal_> ok.... I guess I'v missed to much of the original conversation
[15:14] <_unreal_> hi
[15:14] <TJ-> AlexPortable: "jaja" is a Spanish (and other) language laugh, which in English is usually written as "haha" or "hehe"
[15:14] <_unreal_> or tee hee hee
[15:14] <MonkeyDust> AlexPortable  in german and dutch, it means "yes yes"
[15:15] <malmalmal> JAJAJA
[15:15] <malmalmal> i mean... hahaha
[15:15] <malmalmal> or "fufufufu" like they go on manga
[15:15] <malmalmal> oder "kyakyakya"
[15:16] <malmalmal> OK GUI OMG SO NICE
[15:16] <malmalmal> MUCH EASIER, although less learning
[15:16] <faqih> Ubuntu is more easy now ._.
[15:17] <vitimiti> But that's good
[15:17] <AlexPortable> Is there any way I can make changes to ubuntu and make my own distro?
[15:17] <AlexPortable> so it's install and done?
[15:17] <AlexPortable> instead having to configure every pc
[15:17] <Amoz> AlexPortable, there are some projects, I think one is called remastersys
[15:17] <vitimiti> There were several programs to create spin offs
[15:18] <cfhowlett> Amoz, AlexPortable sorry, but remastersys is no more
[15:18] <Amoz> cfhowlett, oh, nvm then :)
[15:18] <AlexPortable> or would it be better to make an installscript?
[15:18] <TJ-> Alexandro: Use preseed files, or other orchestration tools
[15:18] <AlexPortable> doubleclick, wait, ???, profit
[15:18] <TJ-> AlexPortable: Use preseed files, or other orchestration tools
[15:18] <AlexPortable> what is that?
[15:19] <MonkeyDust> AlexPortable  if you should invent you own spinoff, these names are already taken https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29#mediaviewer/File:UbuntuFamilyTree1210.svg
[15:19] <TJ-> AlexPortable: see https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/preseed-intro.html
[15:21] <AlexPortable> thanks
[15:22] <Klas5> hello
[15:23] <Klas5> For some reason when I try to run >emacs & it doesnt open it in "background"
[15:23] <marianne> hi guys... small issue, running 14.04 and I have an external HD that isn't showing up when I plug it in. It's NTFS formatted, but that never seemed to matter before.... help?
[15:23] <Klas5> but stops my termina
[15:23] <Klas5> any one knows why?
[15:23] <cfhowlett> emacs
[15:23] <MonkeyDust> marianne  does it show in lsblk?
[15:23] <Klas5> huh
[15:23] <Amoz> are there any guides where one can read about stuff that is good to do to my server every now and then? E.g. remove old packages and clean up the system in different ways?
[15:24] <eeee> Klas5: what's the exact command you're running?
[15:24] <TJ-> Klas5: because it wants terminal input, so presumably suspends when it is put into the background
[15:24] <Klas5> >emacs makefile &
[15:24] <eeee> Klas5: drop the >
[15:24] <Klas5> well yeah
[15:24] <Klas5> > is the prompts
[15:24] <eeee> emacs makefile &
[15:25] <knightshade> use vim instead :>
[15:25] <marianne> MonkeyDust: lsbsk?
[15:25] <Klas5> so yeah I write "emacs makefile &" and it opens the file alright
[15:25] <Klas5> but the terminal becomes unusable until I do ctrl+c
[15:25] <malmalmal> hello again! is there any way to make (x)ubuntu's file manager (on live usb) give me the actual size of folders + its content instead of 12,3kb etc ? or is "du" the only way ?
[15:26] <marianne> MonkeyDust: ok, figured that out and the answer is nope
[15:26] <MonkeyDust> marianne  open a terminal and type lsblk ... does it show your external drive?
[15:26] <marianne> MonkeyDust: nope
[15:26] <Klas5> and it gives some "Warning: Cannot convert string '-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct
[15:27] <MonkeyDust> !ntfs | marianne is this useful
[15:30] <TJ-> Got an interesting issue here. Fresh install (of 14.04 kubuntu-desktop) via debootstrap. Worked fine, then suspended to S3 due to inactivity. Resumed but had no keyboard input, so did SysRq+S then SysRq+B to reboot. Now mountall (via Upstart init) is failing to mount the tmpfs on /tmp. That is defined in "/lib/init/fstab". Other file-systems defined there are mounted. So far not found any log entries to give a clue.
[15:31] <TJ-> Result is, log-ins fails since permissions on /tmp/ are not 777 and KDE in particular complains  "Call to lnusertemp failed {temporary directories full?}. Check your installation?" after authentication then returns to the greeter login
[15:40] <lekhraj>  Encrypted NFS without Kerberos possible?
[15:41] <MonkeyDust> !info kerberos
[15:41] <Gractu> hi Rohan_14
[15:41] <Rohan_14> Gractu: hi
[15:41] <Gractu> india?
[15:43] <eeee> !india | Gractu
[15:43] <Gractu> ok
[15:46] <n1xman> Hi! Is there any windows equivalent of the buntu "Startup Disk Creator"? Otherwise, can the app be used from a vm installinside VirtualBox?
[15:47] <n1xman> I want to put the installer (from downloaded iso" to a usb stick
[15:47] <bekks> n1xman: There are various usb boot media creator applications on Windows. But ##windows may know more about them.
[15:47] <MonkeyDust> n1xman  try yummi, but better ask in yhe windows channel
[15:48] <eeee> n1xman: lili , linux live usc creator
[15:48] <eeee> *usb
[15:48] <MonkeyDust> or yuma or some such name
[15:48] <knightshade> n1xman: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Creating_a_bootable_Ubuntu_USB_flash_drive_from_Windows
[15:48] <SchrodingersScat> n1xman: you mean like unetbootin?  http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ also had luck with this on windows
[15:49] <n1xman> bekks, MonkeyDust , I want to create the bootable installer for Ubuntu. So, isn't that rather Ubuntu-specific?
[15:50] <MonkeyDust> n1xman  are you now in windows or in ubuntu?
[15:50] <bekks> n1xman: Hmm, nope. Since for those apps it is irrelevant which ISO you are using for creating a bootable medium.
[15:50] <n1xman> MonkeyDust: Win
[15:50] <eeee> n1xman: lili , see the link above ^^^
[15:50] <MonkeyDust> n1xman  i'm sure someone in ##windows can tell you how windows works
[15:51] <theclockknowsall> I still like Ubuntu 12.04 even though it is old  because It is fast to boot, fast to process and fast  to browse even download stuff.
[15:53] <_unreal_> that was random
[15:53] <n1xman> eeee: Thanks, man! That LILI looks exactly what I need.
[15:53] <eeee> np, yeah it's nice
[15:53] <gabor> hi
[15:53] <zubairahmed> Hi
[15:54] <n1xman> But it would still be nice if ubuntu devs made a win version of the startup disk creator
[15:55] <MonkeyDust> n1xman  why would they work for windows?
[15:55] <zubairahmed> There are many n1xman
[15:56] <fbdystang> Hi, I am trying to download and install the newest ubuntu. The newest version is too big for a regular CDR/W. It requires a DVDR/W. Is there some alternate version that is small enough to fit on a regular CDR/W?
[15:56] <malmalmal> Hello again. I am fixing a pc with dualboot winxp / xubuntu, that had run out of HD space and so it was not booting. I successfully freed enough HD on xubuntu for it to boot and work yay!. But the problem will repeat itself as xubuntu's partition is only 17gb, while winxp has 32 GB of free space! Now that my friend is used to xubuntu and ready to do the total switch (keeping xp for some programs) what size would you reccomend me to
[15:56] <MonkeyDust> n1xman  linux seeks to replace windows, not to help it survive
[15:56] <malmalmal> and what would be best practice on resizing the partitions?
[15:56] <malmalmal> thank you
[15:57] <n1xman> MonkeyDust: Making popular app available on multi platforms is not the same as "working for windows" since it's very objective is to make the user like ubuntu more than win and possibly switch
[15:57] <zubairahmed> fbdystang
[15:57] <MonkeyDust> n1xman  IBM did that with OS/2 warp and by doing so, made OS/2 obsolote
[15:58] <zubairahmed> Can u boot from USB
[15:58] <TenLeftFingers> I've installed 14.04 on my machine and the KWorker thread is eating up 50 - 75% of my CPU. Google shows a lot of similar complaints but the root cause for that bug is in combination with the nfs-server. I don't have this. Does anyone know what else might be causing this? ... I *did* install and configure samba server now that I think of it.
[15:59] <n1xman> MonkeyDust: I don't know about that, but I'm sure it won't be the same for ubuntu. It wasn't exactly THAT which made that obsolete - I'm sure there were better reasons
[15:59] <fbdystang> zubairahmed, I'll have to check and see if BIOS will let me. Where can I download the USB version?
[16:00] <MonkeyDust> n1xman  microsoft could also develop multiplatform, in favor of ubuntu
[16:01] <zubairahmed> Fbdystang its the same version. Just use live USB disk creator and make a bootable USB from the same iso
[16:01] <fbdystang> nev mind found it
[16:01] <fbdystang> yeah thanks
[16:05] <n1xman> MonkeyDust: MS isn't ubuntu, and they don't "need" to lure users from ubuntu. A cross-platform ver of the aforementioned app will only benefit ubuntu and make it more attractive to potential new users.
[16:06] <SchrodingersScat> n1xman: so you're upset that the 2-3 tools aren't official ubuntu tools?
[16:06] <n1xman> I'm not saying EVERY ubuntu app should be available on windows - only the ones to help the users switch from it to ubuntu as quickly and painlessly as possible
[16:06] <DJHenjin> im using the Linux Development 3.13.0-35-lowlatency #62-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT build, and every time i execute something that runs at an extremely high rate with lots of memory access required for some complex calculations (im a developer/cryptanalyst) either the process that I instantiated crashes within a few seconds, or my entire system reboots any ideas?
[16:07] <fbdystang> zubairahmed, If BIOS wont let me, is there a smaller version somewhere?
[16:08] <n1xman> SchrodingersScat: not quite. But at least a list of the best tools should be mentioned on the download page to help newbies.
[16:08] <MonkeyDust> n1xman  the same counts for adobe and macromedia: more users
[16:09] <eeee> fbdystang: you can use the network install
[16:09] <Sinistrad> I'm having problems with lightdm, or at least I think I am. This morning, when I tried to resume my session, the screen was black. I CTRL ALT F7 and got a message that it would send me to the unlock screen in a few seconds, but it didn't. I CTRL ALT F8, and got a login prompt. I had to go back to F7 to reach my desktop. Here is my lightdm.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8280317/
[16:09] <n1xman> Well, thanks guys. I gotta run now. see ya later
[16:09] <zubairahmed> Yes check previous versions 2011 maybe. These isos can be burned on CD and then upgrade online fbdystang
[16:09] <eeee> fbdystang: it'll download it and then install
[16:10] <SchrodingersScat> n1xman: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows this link is available from the download page, under how to put on usb from windows
[16:12] <fbdystang> eeee: so will it download in windows and install over the top of itself?
[16:13] <eeee> fbdystang: no it's a small iso, you burn to cd and boot,
[16:13] <jcorgan> need help fixing a wiped out /boot partition
[16:13] <eeee> then it downloads and installs
[16:13] <n1xman> SchrodingersScat: Damn! How blind am I? :P I initially clicked on this one: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu Thanks man!
[16:13] <fbdystang> eeee, ahhh, thats a cool way to do it. Thanks
[16:14] <jcorgan> i'm able to boot from a livedvd and i've run grub-install successfully, and copied the livedvd kernel over to the partition
[16:14] <jcorgan> but i don't quite know how to finish it up
[16:14] <eeee> jcorgan: ?
[16:15] <jcorgan> i accidentally deleted all the files in /boot
[16:15] <eeee> oh
[16:15] <eeee> did you chroot into your installation?
[16:15] <jcorgan> so i can boot from a livedvd and have access to the partitions
[16:15] <jcorgan> but it's been awhile and my grub-fu is not at its highest
[16:16] <jcorgan> no, i mounted the partition and did a grub-install --boot-directory=...
[16:17] <jcorgan> but chrooting makes more sense, duh
[16:18] <jcorgan> it will take a bit to get that set up, i'll be back in a few
[16:19] <n00bh4x0r> y
[16:19] <n00bh4x0r> whats up
[16:19] <MonkeyDust> i'm able to install a chroot, but from there, never managed to have access to my "host" ubuntu
[16:20] <n00bh4x0r> i just hacked into my neightboors network and downloaded all his pron
[16:20] <n00bh4x0r> i hope he will never know
[16:20] <MonkeyDust> n00bh4x0r  wrong channel
[16:20] <cfhowlett> n00bh4x0r, you are in the wrong channel.  please play elsewhere
[16:20] <n00bh4x0r> :D
[16:20] <n00bh4x0r> ok
[16:20] <n00bh4x0r> where is the right channel
[16:20] <MonkeyDust> n00bh4x0r  alt/f4 to have list
[16:25] <hackersarchangel> … lol n00bh4x0r actually fell for that.
[16:25] <cfhowlett> hackersarchangel, ask your ubuntu questions
[16:26] <hackersarchangel> I don’t have any?
[16:26] <hackersarchangel> I’m in here to either help, or learn something new
[16:26] <hackersarchangel> also waiting on someone to wake up in ubuntu-touch
[16:26] <hackersarchangel> so I can pester them about a problem I’ve been having.
[16:27] <cfhowlett> hackersarchangel, pestering the volunteers?  really?
[16:27] <hackersarchangel> it’s a joke .lol
[16:28] <hackersarchangel> *** joke. lol
[16:28] <hackersarchangel> My apologies I just got it out of bed.
[16:28] <hackersarchangel> *up
[16:28] <hackersarchangel> sigh.
[16:29] <_unreal_> lol alt+f4 clasic
[16:30] <_unreal_> whois n00bh4x0r
[16:33] <hackersarchangel> Turn it up loud Captain! - U2
[16:35] <georg_wien_w> hi! i need help with my printer in ubuntu 14.04
[16:35] <cfhowlett> georg_wien_w, details?
[16:35] <isene> any experts on vifm here?
[16:36] <DaZ> i wonder how it compares to ranger :v
[16:36] <georg_wien_w> print jobs from libre office work, but only the first job. PDFs don't ever work. its a hp 2550l color laser jet
[16:37] <cfhowlett> georg_wien_w, what printer driver do you have installed
[16:37] <cfhowlett> georg_wien_w, ONLY libreoffice prints fail?
[16:37] <cfhowlett> *work*?
[16:37] <kxtwo> Hey guys, I am running a dual boot laptop with 13.10 and windblows.  When I power on I get the warning .10 is no longer supported and I should upgrade t 14.04 lts. I am willing to do it but want to make sure it isn't going to blow out my windows partition or cause me any problems.  A friend said he did it and lost his windows so thought I'd come ask the experts first.
[16:38] <georg_wien_w> only libreoffice works, at least the first job. everything else fails
[16:38] <cfhowlett> kxtwo, upgrade in place will not touch windows.
[16:38] <cfhowlett> georg_wien_w, and what driver did you install?
[16:38] <kxtwo> cfhowlett, , no known problems with upgrading at this time?  All of my current settings and files froom 13.10 will be intact?
[16:39] <georg_wien_w> i tried different ones, first the ones from hplip then some ppd from the printer cd
[16:39] <cfhowlett> kxtwo, in place upgrade will not bother your settings or your data
[16:39] <georg_wien_w> the printer led starts to blink but the job never starts
[16:40] <ZiNk> kxtwo: it is only reinstall from disk that removes all other partitions
[16:40] <kxtwo> cfhowlett, thanks man.  My final question will be, is there any negativity you can think of with me doing an upgrade in place?  Eventually I will wipe this laptop and do a fresh install but super busy right now so looking for quick solutions.
[16:40] <cfhowlett> georg_wien_w, run localhost:631 in firefox.  (this is the CUPS printer utility).  verify your printer settings
[16:40] <georg_wien_w> already did. everything seems to be ok
[16:41] <cfhowlett> kxtwo, I prefer clean install over upgrade in place but YMMV.    Your mileage may vary? lol
[16:42] <cfhowlett> apt-get dist-upgrad
[16:42] <cfhowlett> apt-get dist-upgrade
[16:42] <cfhowlett> apt-get dist-upgrade
[16:42] <cfhowlett> kxtwo, correctomundo!
[16:43] <cfhowlett> !ymmv | kxtwo
[16:43] <kxtwo> cfhowlett, lol thanks, this machine is an older dell I just use it for school.  Going to reboot now and do the upgrade, hopefully machine runs a little better, its been sluggish since support stopped
[16:43] <cfhowlett> georg_wien_w, on cups, did you check the error log?
[16:46] <TenLeftFingers> Ubuntu password dialog doesn't always indicate that CAPS LOCK is pressed. Alt + tabbing fixes it. What should I file against?
[16:47] <georg_wien_w> everything done! sorry errors weren't logged i changed that now
[16:48] <georg_wien_w> will have a try with a print job now
[16:48] <cfhowlett> georg_wien_w, test print, read the errors for clues.
[16:49] <georg_wien_w> first print from libreoffice as usual worked withoud problems
[16:49] <cfhowlett> georg_wien_w, do a pdf and an editor file
[16:50] <georg_wien_w> surprisingly second job from libre office worked as well. Didn't had that yet! will try the editor an than the pdf
[16:52] <georg_wien_w> editor printing fails. printer blinks but nothing happens
[16:52] <cfhowlett> georg_wien_w, see the log!
[16:52] <DaZ> maybe it's doing *stuff*
[16:53] <malmalmal> Hello
[16:53] <toad1> Hi, could anybody help me this problem: http://dpaste.com/3QGK5DS
[16:53] <DaZ> i have hp somethingjet and it blinks for a while before it prints
[16:53] <cfhowlett> malmalmal, !  all problems fixed?
[16:53] <pgnome> I cannot find preferences in the file manager... this distro really sucks now
[16:53] <pgnome> has anyone switched from ubuntu to something else?
[16:53] <pgnome> can never change the defaults
[16:53] <xangua> pgnome: Edit menu, preferences
[16:54] <pgnome> not there... I am using gnome
[16:54] <malmalmal> cfhowlett :)) since xubuntu was 99% hd full it would not boot, after freeing some space it boots! no broken update. Now I went to windows xp and unassigned 20GB
[16:54] <pgnome> there's no 'preferences' anywhere
[16:54] <cfhowlett> malmalmal, man, you are GOOD!
[16:54] <malmalmal> and I am trying to expand xubuntu's partition to take this 20GB although I could use some help
[16:54] <pgnome> in older versions of ubuntu, there was a preferences
[16:54] <malmalmal> thank youuu!
[16:54] <malmalmal> jeje
[16:55] <pgnome> there's only 'properties'
[16:55] <pgnome> what a pos
[16:55] <melle> Me, to arch linux
[16:55] <malmalmal> chfowlett, maybe you can help with expanding the partition ?
[16:55] <jj--> usb modem drives me absolutely nuts on ubuntu 14.04, it just disconnects on connect here is syslog http://pastebin.com/x68CiSKd
[16:55] <jj--> any help appreciated
[16:55] <pgnome> I want a preview of pictures (thumbnails) instead of the default
[16:55] <cfhowlett> malmalmal, haven't done that in a while.  I seem to recall that gparted requires the empty space be located next to the target you want to enlarge.
[16:55] <pgnome> default of tree and sunset
[16:56] <Sinistrad> I'm having problems with lightdm, or at least I think I am. This morning, when I tried to resume my session, the screen was black. I CTRL ALT F7 and got a message that it would send me to the unlock screen in a few seconds, but it didn't. I CTRL ALT F8, and got a login prompt. I had to go back to F7 to reach my desktop. Here is my lightdm.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8280317/
[16:56] <malmalmal> I drop the question: I have a pc dualboot xp/xubuntu, unassigned 20GB of space from xp partition, and now would like my xubuntu partition to expand to take those. I booted live xubuntu and into Gparted. It shows dev/sda3 as xubuntu, divided into sda5 and sda6 (main and swap), the unassigned space is OUTSIDE of sda3, should I get it inside to expand? how to? thank you
[16:57] <hackersarchangel> cfhowlett is correct, that space should be next to it when resizing. However you are also better off using the Live CD to do that malmalmal
[16:57] <hackersarchangel> Ok so it’s on the other side of SDA4
[16:57] <hackersarchangel> ?
[16:57] <cfhowlett> malmalmal, would I correct: you want more room for /home?
[16:58] <Datz> Hi, I have a question about dropbox. It appears as though I'e installed it with the package mananger, and this morning it gave me a message that it needs to be updated. It no longer seems to be syncing my files, and when I ran updates, dropbox wasn't included as one, so it must be getting an external update message. I'm running 12.04. Any thoughts/suggestions welcome. Thanks.
[16:59] <malmalmal> cfhowlett I do not seem to have a separate home
[16:59] <cfhowlett> !home | malmalmal, you might find that very helpful here.
[16:59] <malmalmal> ubottu I believe that is not what I am trying to achieve
[16:59] <SchrodingersScat> Datz: that's odd, I don't see dropbox in my repos, had you maybe downloaded a .deb off their website?
[17:00] <hackersarchangel> malmalmal, where is the free space? between SDA3 and SDA4
[17:00] <Datz> SchrodingersScat: that's what I thought too. But I aptitide search dropbox and found "i   nautilus-dropbox"
[17:00] <malmalmal> hackersarchangel, the freespace is unassigned and OUTSIDE of any partition at the moment, including xubuntu's partition which is sda3 and CONTAINS two more partitions, called sda5 (main) and sda6 (swap)
[17:01] <malmalmal> Id like to expand sda5 to take the unassigned space that is OUTSIDE of sda3
[17:01] <Sinistrad> Datz, I think that's for nautilus integration
[17:01] <hackersarchangel> AH I got it.
[17:01] <hackersarchangel> Ok so you want it get into SDA5 yes?
[17:01] <malmalmal> yep
[17:01] <malmalmal> :)
[17:01] <pgnome> there is no nautilus... it's called 'files' lol
[17:01] <pgnome> what a pos
[17:01] <hackersarchangel> right click on SDA5 and hit resize.
[17:01] <Datz> Sinistrad: I see, so to update I should just run a deb from their site then?
[17:02] <pgnome> how do you get 'preferences?
[17:02] <hackersarchangel> See if it will let you do that, it sounds like you have what we call an “extended partition”
[17:02] <malmalmal> hackersarchangel don
[17:02] <hackersarchangel> which is containing SDA5 and SDA6
[17:02] <malmalmal> done
[17:02] <toad1> Hi, could anybody help me this problem: http://dpaste.com/3QGK5DS
[17:02] <malmalmal> wait wait
[17:02] <pgnome> use mint instead... at least, the thumbnail preview works properly
[17:02] <malmalmal> hackersarchangel, it seems that sda3 contains sda5 and sda6
[17:02] <hackersarchangel> yep
[17:02] <hackersarchangel> that’s what I surmised.
[17:02] <malmalmal> you want me to attempt to resize sda3 or sda5 ?
[17:03] <Sinistrad> Datz, That is your best bet. I'm not sure if there's a PPA for dropbox, but if there is, it might make future updates easier.
[17:03] <hackersarchangel> try resizing SDA5
[17:03] <Datz> Sinistrad: I see. I'll check. Thanks.
[17:03] <hackersarchangel> see if it will even let you. You may need to resize sda3 first, then do sda5 malmalmal
[17:03] <Sinistrad> Datz, No problem. I actually need to install it on my system too. New install here =)
[17:03] <malmalmal> the meny allows me to take the space before or after, but i have to input the size manually, let me try with sda3
[17:04] <platinov> hi )
[17:04] <Datz> Sinistrad: nice. Yeah.. I should probably update beyond 12.04.. :P
[17:04] <malmalmal> I cannot resize sda3, I have to say that the swap partition (sda6 under sda3) allows me to deactive swap when rightclicking
[17:04] <hackersarchangel> ok and sda5 doesn’t show free space before or after that?
[17:05] <georg_wien_w> i tried it now again and again but cups tells me under http://localhost:631/admin/log/error_log  NOT FOUND. don't know why. but under printer status cups tells me printer doesn't react
[17:05] <malmalmal> it does not specify any available space, hackersarchangel, although it allows me to specify manually
[17:05] <platinov> i used Linux platinov-komputing 3.13.0-35-generic #62-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 15 01:58:01 UTC 2014 i686 athlon i686 GNU/Linux
[17:06] <hackersarchangel> ok.
[17:06] <malmalmal> hackersarchangel I am pretty sure that sda5 does not "see" the unassigned space when attempting to resize, because it is outside its parent partition (sda3)
[17:06] <hackersarchangel> Found a link for you: http://askubuntu.com/questions/258640/how-to-add-a-space-from-outside-an-extended-partition-to-a-logical-partition-con
[17:07] <hackersarchangel> malmalmal: ^^^
[17:07] <malmalmal> [windows] [unassigned] [ sda3 [sda5][sda6] ]
[17:07] <malmalmal> great, thanks , checking
[17:07] <platinov> ^_^
[17:07] <hackersarchangel> Thats exactly right malmalmal, so you will need to get it to resize sda3 first.
[17:09] <malmalmal> problem is I cannot resize sd3, it does have an icon of a key, I assume problem is that it is locked for resizing, possibly because swap is active ?
[17:09] <platinov> Ukraine like you!)
[17:09] <malmalmal> is it safe, being on a liveCD, to deactivate swap under gparted, in order to resize the extended partition ?
[17:09] <cfhowlett> malmalmal, wait, are you live USB or did you boot from HDD?
[17:09] <malmalmal> I am on a live usb
[17:09] <hackersarchangel> are you positive?
[17:10] <malmalmal> booted on liveusb, then run gparted, and looking at HD partitions
[17:10] <hackersarchangel> Ok.
[17:10] <hackersarchangel> Right click on swap, and deactivate it.
[17:10] <malmalmal> ok

[17:11] <malmalmal> Ok now the unassigned space is INSIDE extended partition
[17:12] <lord_garth> Is there some problem with 14.01 live boot freezing?
[17:12] <malmalmal> and I can resize sda5 (main partition under the extended partition) to accept the unassigned space
[17:12] <malmalmal> BUT, when doing so, it leaves about 1mb that it cannot eat ?
[17:12] <hackersarchangel> that’s normal.
[17:12] <cfhowlett> malmalmal, 1 mb.  relax.
[17:12] <malmalmal> lol
[17:12] <malmalmal> ok
[17:12] <hackersarchangel> It happens because of some thing with alignment.
[17:12] <malmalmal> ok I am going to do this
[17:13] <malmalmal> applying
[17:13] <hackersarchangel> I think it aligns to sectors or cylinders, not sure which one.

[17:51] <pgnome> who uses gnome here?
[17:52] <cassio3> pgnome, hey -- I like gnome a lot.
[17:52] <cassio3> I run mac os x as my primary environment, but I like gnome a lot
[17:52] <cassio3> do you run gnome classic?
[17:52] <cassio3> or gnome 3?
[17:53] <pgnome> I used to like gnome
[17:53] <pgnome> gnome 3, I guess?
[17:54] <pgnome> nautilus in gnome 3 has no 'preferences' setting
[17:54] <pgnome> files/nautilus is unusable
[17:54] <MonkeyDust> pgnome  Edit > Preferences
[17:56] <pgnome> MonkeyDust, there isn't an 'edit' menu!!
[17:57] <pgnome> closest thing is 'properties'
[17:58] <MonkeyDust> pgnome  you mean you do'nt see it... i see Edit on my nautilus
[17:58] <pgnome> oh geez!
[17:59] <MonkeyDust> pgnome  there is no bar with File etc?
[17:59] <pgnome> no bar
[17:59] <pgnome> well, it is black
[17:59] <MonkeyDust> pgnome  and are you sure it's nautilus?
[17:59] <pgnome> I fixed it... in gnome, it is at the top left.... beside 'Activities'
[18:00] <pgnome> I right-click the text to get the drop down options.... geez...
[18:00] <pgnome> sorry... I cannot get used to gnome 3! :-(
[18:00] <MonkeyDust> pgnome  feel free to use sometihing else
[18:00] <pgnome> does Unity work like this, too?
[18:01] <pgnome> I'll try to remember.... I think it will go to default again
[18:01] <pgnome> thanks MonkeyDust...
[18:04] <jr__> Why can't I access CUPS of one machine outside of my network?
[18:09] <theqqr_step> excuse me,.how to increase my swap memory?
[18:10] <theqqr_step> excuse me,.how to increase my swap memory?(use terminal)
[18:10] <daftykins> theqqr_step: what for?
[18:11] <theqqr_step> caused when i open application was slowy in loading.
[18:12] <rolleiflex> hey, does anyone know when I create a desktop file, it doesn't show the name on ubuntu launcher?
[18:12] <rolleiflex> it's just the icon
[18:12] <rolleiflex> which is cool, but.. not very useful
[18:12] <daftykins> theqqr_step: which application?
[18:12] <theqqr_step> daftykins, caused when i open application was slowy in loading.
[18:13] <theqqr_step> daftykins, all.
[18:13] <daftykins> theqqr_step: which ubuntu and what system RAM?
[18:13] <daftykins> adjusting swap doesn't make any sense toward application load time
[18:14] <theqqr_step> daftykins, but when i login with root, the loading is good.
[18:14] <theqqr_step> daftykins, 10.04 .system ram?what it's mean?
[18:14] <daftykins> you should never do that.
[18:14] <daftykins> theqqr_step: sorry, 10.04 desktop is long out of support
[18:14] <daftykins> !lucid
[18:15] <theqqr_step> daftykins, thx.
[18:16] <theqqr_step> but why when i'm loading use root, the loading is fast, but when use another login, the loading is slow. why?
[18:17] <theqqr_step> *i'm login use root
[18:17] <eeee> which application?
[18:17] <theqqr_step> daftykins, *i'm login use root..
[18:17] <daftykins> theqqr_step: i can't comment on that, you shouldn't even have a password for root let alone log in using that account
[18:18] <Beldar> theqqr_step, Moot point as that is not a good or expected use.
[18:18] <eeee> theqqr_step: some apps load a minimalistic version of the app if you launch using root
[18:18] <theqqr_step> daftykins, for this time i'm not use root.
[18:19] <theqqr_step> Beldar, eeee ,thx
[18:20] <theqqr_step> i'm try use terminal with "free -m", the result of total memory : Mem=235, Swap=254
[18:20] <nusr> hi can someone help me with ubuntu 14. i installed python3.4 and now software center won't start
[18:21] <eeee> !aptlock | nusr
[18:21] <theqqr_step> daftykins, i'm try use terminal with "free -m", the result of total memory : Mem=235, Swap=254. i'm hear that our swap must 2*memory. is that true?
[18:22] <daftykins> theqqr_step: yeah so it's an outdated ubuntu on an old low specification machine, there's nothing i can do i'm afraid. i would bury that computer
[18:22] <nusr> ubottu, thanks but i'm still getting the same message bash: /usr/bin/software-center: /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file o
[18:23] <nusr> tried updating but still nothing
[18:23] <theqqr_step> daftykins, bury ? what is that ?
[18:24] <daftykins> theqqr_step: throw it away, to recycling
[18:24] <theqqr_step> daftykins, i can't do it sir. caused i'm not rich.
[18:25] <daftykins> theqqr_step: you won't be able to run a supported ubuntu on 256MB RAM, it's simply too rubbish
[18:25] <does> The best,even though it would be like walking through glue,would be lubuntu.
[18:25] <daftykins> theqqr_step: you might want to try something like puppy linux - but it will be very basic
[18:25] <TJ-> theqqr_step: If things seem to perform better when logging in as the root user, but not as a regular user, I'd guess that the user profile is autostart-ing lots of additional programs, which take up memory and then cause the swap file to be used a lot by the programs you want to work with
[18:25] <theqqr_step> daftykins, but i don't now way how to increase swap file use terminal. can u give instruction?
[18:25] <nusr> how can i reinstall
[18:26] <eeee> reinstall python
[18:26] <nusr> software center
[18:26] <eeee> sudo apt-get install --reinstall <pythonpackage>
[18:26] <nusr> software center is now in a different folder after i installed python 3.4
[18:26] <nusr> not in usr/bin
[18:27] <TJ-> theqqr_step: Increasing the swap file size won't help speed; it'll just provide more *slow* hard disk space to page contents of RAM into. "cat /proc/swaps" will tell you the current swap size and how much is used
[18:27] <theqqr_step> TJ-, thx, maybe it is true sir.
[18:27] <theqqr_step> TJ-, ok, i will try type that command.
[18:27] <eeee> nusr: sudo apt-get install --reinstall software-center
[18:29] <theqqr_step> TJ-, Size=26xxxx, Used=88xxx,Priority=-1,Type=file
[18:29] <nusr> thanks eeee
[18:29] <eeee> np
[18:29] <nusr> but error detec and now sending problem ifnormation to apport
[18:30] <theqqr_step> TJ-, but if i was delete some file in user folder, the speed of loading can fast.
[18:30] <eeee> nusr: what is the error you're getting, regarding python
[18:30] <TJ-> theqqr_step: You'd need to examine carefully the list of autostart-ing programs - some are required, some can be optional
[18:31] <nusr> Preparing to unpack .../software-center_13.10-0ubuntu4.1_all.deb ... /var/lib/dpkg/info/software-center.prerm: 6: /var/lib/dpkg/info/software-center.prerm: pyclean: not found dpkg: warning: subprocess old pre-removal script returned error exit status 127 dpkg: trying script from the new package instead ... /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/prerm: 6: /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/prerm: pyclean: not found dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archive
[18:31] <theqqr_step> TJ-, that you mean i uncheck some application in startup applications?
[18:31] <TJ-> theqqr_step: Yes
[18:32] <eeee> nusr: try to install, sudo apt-get install software-center
[18:32] <eeee> nusr: or remove it then install
[18:32] <does> !pastebin | nusr
[18:32] <bekks> eeee: The error indicates that he is actually doing that already.
[18:32] <bekks> nusr: you have to install pyclean, too.
[18:32] <theqqr_step> TJ-, ok sir, thx . i will to do it in the next session of login.
[18:33] <theqqr_step> TJ-, can we increase "usr.disk" file ? is it danger or not?
[18:34] <frib> when i close vlc it freezes for about 15 seconds before closing .. anyone know why?
[18:35] <TJ-> theqqr_step: The numbers you reported showed that only about 1/3rd of swap was in use, so increasing its size won't improve the situation
[18:35] <daftykins> TJ-: hi sir. just a heads up you're assisting an EOL 10.04 desktop install there
[18:36] <TJ-> daftykins: I'm also assisting a novice user in Indonesia that is trying to make the best out of a poor situation.
[18:36] <theqqr_step> TJ-, ok sir, thx ..
[18:36] <daftykins> fail to see the relevance of that statement but ok!
[18:36] <eeee> bekks: yeah, i thought software center was missing some files to do the deletion, that's why i suggested to install rather than reinstall
[18:37] <EiriksUbuntu> Ahh, now I can get into tightening up this 14.04, got to get all new packages, but at least now I can get the dvd stuff too
[18:37] <EiriksUbuntu> I think I might look into gnome again though
[18:47] <sudormrf> Does anyone in here have a suggestion for a program that will rip Japanese subtitles from a DVD ISO?  I have been searching the googles for quite a while and have come up empty handed.  I found plenty that works for English subtitles.  Japanese is proving to be problematic
[18:57] <habernir> hi there

[19:53] <Guest32434> how is everyone
[19:54] <sexyboy> !offtopic
[19:56] <k1lleD> how to check which one video card i use for desktop, and if i start game wichone i use. i nvidia 750m + integrated intel HD graphics 4600
[19:59] <pumba> hi2u
[20:00] <rolleiflex> I have a .desktop file question
[20:00] <MonkeyDust> can someone please pm me my problem's desicription, that i wrote moments ago
[20:00] <rolleiflex> when I create two desktop files for the same application, one that launched the app in foreground and the other launches it minimised
[20:00] <rolleiflex> unity isn't smart enough to figure out they are the same application
[20:00] <TJ-> 20:44 <MonkeyDust> kernel downgrade needed here -- 14.04 trusty was unusable for me, as it made my laptop (Acer / Intel) heat up and shut down -- this forced me back to 12.04, ok, all well -- but now, the -34 and -35 kernels are trusty related and the heating issue returned, which makes my 12.04 virtually unusable -- i don't like ubuntu anymore -- how to downgrade to an old kernel version -- please don't give me a factoid
[20:01] <rolleiflex> the minimised version has command line flag, which makes ubuntu think it's a different application
[20:01] <rolleiflex> so if the user pins my application to the unity dock and restarts the system, what opens at startup isnt the pinned application but a new one with a question mark in the logo
[20:01] <rolleiflex> I'm really starting to hate this... :(
[20:02] <TJ-> MonkeyDrone: Have you seen http://askubuntu.com/questions/265999/how-to-remove-kernel-lts-enablement-stack
[20:02] <rolleiflex> is there a way to tell unity that "my/application/executable -flag" is the same application as "my/application/executable"?
[20:02] <rolleiflex> this is fairly dumb : (
[20:03] <Guest78078> Hello?
[20:03] <MonkeyDust> TJ-  yes, i guess it started with the hardware enablement (HWE) upgrade in august
[20:04] <MonkeyDust> reading now
[20:06] <TJ-> MonkeyDust have you reported a bug against the "linux" package about it?
[20:06] <TJ-> MonkeyDust: It sounds like a regression, and ought to get some attention
[20:07] <MonkeyDust> TJ-  will do

[20:10] <Guest83062> somebody have distribution elementary_
[20:12] <Guest83062> somebody can help me_
[20:13] <zeltin> egrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo
[20:13] <zeltin> gives me 2, what does that mean?
[20:14] <bekks> !elementaryos
[20:14] <Guest83062> how install flash on the distro elementary_
[20:14] <bekks> hmm. hmm.
[20:14] <bekks> Guest83062: Since ElementaryOS isnt an official derivate, you will have to ask the support community of that distro.
[20:15] <Kira9204> Guest83062: you should find it if you search for it in the app store
[20:15] <Guest83062> bekks I am newbie I always have win OS when I can find this
[20:15] <Kira9204> just like in ubuntu
[20:16] <bekks> Guest83062: And that feature isnt implemented in zfsonlinux. :)
[20:16] <Kira9204> pretty much any guide for ubuntu will work on any ubuntu derrative
[20:17] <Guest83062> Kira9204 I install chromium but I dont know which name is it app on the mint name pepper and on the elementary_
[20:17] <bekks> Guest83062: I am sorry, I mixed up channels. I never used ElementaryOS, so I cant tell you where to find its support community.
[20:17] <Ben64> Kira9204, Guest83062: elementary os is not on topic here. if you wish to discuss it further you can, but not in this channel
[20:18] <MonkeyDust> Kira9204  wrong channel
[20:18] <Guest83062> bekks ok which chanell
[20:18] <bazhang> !elementary
[20:19] <MonkeyDust> please guys, if i want to login in launchpad, i'm being sent to ubuntone, which is dead... i don't like ubuntu anymore
[20:19] <pngl> Is there a CLI tool for logging that I can pipe to which will rotate logs? For instance, "script.sh | logging-tool log_base_name 5" would 1) replace log_basename.log.1 with log_base_name.log, 2) do the same for for N<=5, and 3) write output of script.sh to log_base_name.log
[20:19] <Kira9204> that may be the case, but he is asking for a package name
[20:19] <Kira9204> wich should be the same regardless
[20:19] <Ben64> Kira9204: a package name for a different distro, so its not on topic here...
[20:19] <ynon1> hi guys
[20:19] <bazhang> Kira9204, packages.ubuntu.com he can search
[20:20] <ynon1> i need to get computer icon on my desktop
[20:20] <ynon1> how
[20:21] <ynon1> i used tweak but it wont work
[20:21] <ynon1> i have 14.04
[20:21] <ynon1> hi owwwe
[20:22] <basz> hio, i need some varnish advise. can someone lookat this gist https://gist.github.com/basz/707690745298268d4aef
[20:22] <basz> please
[20:22] <bekks> basz: what are we going to find there? :)
[20:23] <ynon1> well
[20:23] <basz> I have incomplete javascript files, behind a varnish cache.
[20:23] <basz> bekks some output of some tests
[20:23] <ynon1> update it through terminal
[20:23] <basz> I'm stumped... And have ignored the problem too long
[20:25] <MonkeyDust> if i want to login in launchpad to report a bug, i'm being sent to ubuntone, which is dead... how to report that the bug-reporting site doenst work?
[20:25] <TJ-> MonkeyDust: Ubuntu One Single Sign On is still used
[20:29] <MonkeyDust> Invalid OpenID transaction
[20:32] <TSRewind> #gameblender
[20:32] <TJ-> basz: Have you checked whether all the connections are served by Varnish, or whether some go through to the httpd?
[20:33] <basz> TJ- Nope.
[20:34] <basz> How would I check that?
[20:34] <TJ-> basz: check the httpd access log
[20:36] <basz> TJ- I see every load that siege does, immediatly show up in the apache log. regardless of the size is correct or not
[20:36] <basz> the X-Varnish:<PHONE_NUMBER> header does not have an age...
[20:37] <basz> so,... goes to apache

[20:42] <zeltin> After the installation, you need to relogin so that your user account becomes an effective member of kvm and libvirtd user groups. The members of this group can run virtual machines.
[20:42] <zeltin> How do i relogin?

[20:44] <rodrigo> omg irc still alive!
[20:44] <RobertJDohnert> Of course it is rodrigo
[20:44] <RobertJDohnert> Why would it be dead
[20:45] <zeltin> how do I relogin my user?
[20:45] <trijntje> what exactly does the du command report? I'm trying to write my own du-like program, but the numbers I get are always slightly off
[20:45] <rodrigo> In Brazil, i was just a lonely guy logged in irc channels
[20:45] <trijntje> zeltin: just restart the pc
[20:45] <zeltin> trijntje, seems a little overkill, there must be a simpler way
[20:46] <trijntje> zeltin: sure, click on the top right corner, select 'log out'
[20:47] <zeltin> trijntje, what will happen?
[20:47] <trijntje> it will log you out
[20:49] <asynechiea> Hello all. I've been gaming using a PS3 controller for about a year with no problems, but today when I went to pair it, myh bluetooth adaptor is not working. It shows that it is on on the top bar in Unity, but if I got to System Settings -> Bluetooth, it says it is off. If I use the pair command in the terminal I get this error: Can't read version info hci0: Connection timed out (110)
[20:50] <analogfreak> asynechiea: fresh batteries?
[20:50] <asynechiea> fresh batteries... for the bluetooth chip inside of my computer?
[20:50] <analogfreak> no, the controller.
[20:51] <asynechiea> the problem is that the bluetooth adaptor in the laptop won't start..
[20:51] <analogfreak> my bad
[20:52] <analogfreak> any driver updates recently done?
[20:52] <boldfilter1> Unity: reinventing the wheel since 2010
[20:52] <asynechiea> none to my knowledge.. unless something happened in a system update
[20:53] <analogfreak> i'm assuming you've done the old windows trick of rebooting 3 times?
[20:53] <RobertJDohnert> any thoughts on the new Unity, good bad or ugly?
[20:53] <asynechiea> I've rebooted one time ;)
[20:54] <MonkeyDust> if I wanted to report a bug in launchpad, but don't know what package is affected, or it may be several different, how to do it with ubuntu-bug? or any other way?
[20:54] <analogfreak> asynechiea: what make and model is the laptop?
[20:54] <asynechiea> System 76 Bonobo Extreme 7
[20:54] <RobertJDohnert> I work on the Black Lab Linux project, http://www.blacklablinux.org and we are thinking of doing a Unity release along with our XFCE release
[20:54] <isene> Got a new PC (Samsung NP900 laptop), installed a fresh 14.10. Got issues with system fonts for GTK applications - ugly fonts that doesn't handle Norwegian special characters (æøå) well (they are rendered boldish and somewhat larger than the other characters). Any pointers?
[20:54] <asynechiea> I could reach out to their suport, but they are closed on the weekend
[20:55] <asynechiea> plus their support is not so good
[20:55] <asynechiea> let me try rebooting once more, this time shuitting all the way down.
[20:56] <trism> MonkeyDust: for me, I would guess which package I thought it was, and start there, it can always be reassigned (rather than assigning one to ubuntu which often don't get much attention) If unsure you can always ask in the channel and somebody might have a thought
[20:59] <asynechiea> shutting down worked :) Thanks analogfreak ;)
[20:59] <analogfreak> great to hear
[21:04] <isene> How do I turn off anti-aliasing for every font in the graphical UI?
[21:06] <Sinistrad> I'm having problems with lightdm, or at least I think I am. This morning, when I tried to resume my session, the screen was black. I CTRL ALT F7 and got a message that it would send me to the unlock screen in a few seconds, but it didn't. I CTRL ALT F8, and got a login prompt. I had to go back to F7 to reach my desktop. Here is my lightdm.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8280317/
[21:09] <Resilience> hello to everyone
[21:09] <conundrum_> hey
[21:09] <apornstar> Hi
[21:09] <conundrum_> where are you from Resilience ?
[21:10] <Resilience> spain conundrum_
[21:10] <conundrum_> ui , germany
[21:10] <guite> Sinistrad: I had this one once :)
[21:10] <Resilience> conundrum_, almos besides, almost he ;D
[21:10] <Octopus_2000> test! :-)
[21:10] <guite> Sinistrad: just in case, check that you have an xorg.conf in /etc/X11/
[21:11] <conundrum_> almost
[21:11] <guite> a “correct” one
[21:11] <Octopus_2000> any solutions for de icon mail notification on xubuntu 12.04 with hotmail (ssl tsl)
[21:11] <Sinistrad> guite, Ahh, I'll have to take a look at it
[21:11] <apornstar> Has anyone heard of the compix issue thats causing cpu high usage in ubuntu 14.04?
[21:12] <guite> Sinistrad: you can check with a shell while using ctrl+alt+f<anything but 7>
[21:12] <apornstar> Compiz rather
[21:12] <Resilience> I'm using lightdm and the power-off/hibernate buttons they don't work, because I have uninstalled the polkit package (I'm using debian), but I want them to work (enlightenment can shutdown/reboot7etc from the dm without using polkit) is there any way I can achieve this? (I ask in this channel becasue ligtdm comes from canonical)
[21:13] <k1l> apornstar: try to see if its a known bug on launchpad.net  or make a bug report
[21:13] <trijntje> why does du sometimes report files as bigger then they actually are?
[21:13] <Octopus_2000> Any solutions for de icon mail notification on xubuntu 12.04 with hotmail (ssl tsl)?
[21:14] <apornstar> Hi does anyone know of a compiz issue with 14.04?
[21:15] <geirha> trijntje: disk usage (du) and file size are not the same thing
[21:15] <trism> apornstar: bug 1268146 and bug 1293384 look relevant
[21:15] <guite> Sinistrad: I have to leave now, but what you could try is generating an xorg file with "X -configure". If this step works, then you should be able to restart lightdm once again and it should work this time
[21:16] <geirha> trijntje: It mainly depends on the inode size, which is 4K by default. That means that a file of 5 bytes must occupy at least 4KiB of the disk
[21:16] <Sinistrad> guite, Thanks!
[21:16] <guite> Sinistrad: if not, it might be a problem with your nvidia… if so, I experienced similar problems and I’m not sure about the solution.
[21:16] <guite> Sinistrad: (if you have an nvidia)
[21:17] <Sinistrad> guite, I have nvidia, with the drivers
[21:17] <trijntje> geirha: that makes sense, thanks. Though for small files du reports 0 since it rounds to 1024 bytes
[21:18] <guite> Sinistrad: and so try to remove all dkms for nvidia => “dkms remove nvidia-<version>”, “aptitude purge nvidia-<version>” and “aptitude install nvidia-<version”>
[21:18] <guite> (sorry I use aptitude, but you will probably use apt-get)
[21:19] <isene> How do I turn off anti-aliasing for every font in the graphical UI?
[21:19] <guite> Sinistrad: if this doesn’t work, then this bug is my worst enemy and I will not be able to help you anymore
[21:19] <guite> I have to go, bye :)
[21:20] <geirha> trijntje: depends on the filesystem. If it's on ext4, du should only report 0 if the size is 0. (or if it's a sparse file with no written bytes)
[21:20] <faryshta> hi, does anyone know a way so that if i try to access *.faryshta.local it sends me to localhost?
[21:21] <apornstar> How can I get a copy of /usr/bin/compiz from a 12.04 installation as I don't have one at hand?
[21:27] <apornstar> Sorry I got cut off earlier, can some let me know how I can get a /usr/bin/compiz from a 12.04 installation?
[21:28] <zeltin> Can I make the shell not show the whole path to where it is? it is annoying when you have long paths...
[21:28] <Flannel> apornstar: If you go to packages.ubuntu.com, you can download the deb and extract the file.
[21:29] <apornstar> Ok thanks I'll try that.
[21:30] <samthewildone> Yes I am a bit lazy but, what is the command to resize and rename images via mogrify ? I know the -resize but, what about changing the name ?

[21:39] <byonic> Hey! I've created a bootable usb with ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS on it. When I go to reboot my computer the ubuntu loading screen pops up and shortly after tells me it is unable to mount  "/", then presents me with a terminal asking for a login
[21:39] <eeee> byonic: did you checksum the iso? is secureboot enabled?
[21:40] <tozen> SK1N_H34D: want to speak send me privat, pal
[21:40] <SK1N_H34D> try with restart or reboot !!
[21:40] <eeee> byonic: wait a sec, are you talking about an installation on a usb? or a live usb?
[21:45] <byonic_> DC’d, not sure what went through.

[21:48] <byonic> Where would I find the checksum for 14.04.1?
[21:48] <rww> !hashes

[22:04] <samthewildone> dammit
[22:06] <m1dnight_> hey guys, i'm having some issues on my linux server. When I do ll or tab completion (last time was tab complete on ssh (for the service)) it takes ages
[22:06] <m1dnight_> (when it was freezing i created a new session in putty and that too, hanged
[22:07] <m1dnight_> how can i debug such a thing?
[22:08] <Loshki> m1dnight_: can you get to the server console?
[22:08] <m1dnight_> it's a VM, sure
[22:08] <SK1N_H34D> truee..
[22:08] <m1dnight_> I can't reproduce it though. It's like something is going to sleep but then it wakes up and it works.
[22:08] <kermit> i just upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04 and rebooted, but its still running kernel 3.2, why?
[22:09] <k1l_> kermit: what gives you "lsb_release -d"?
[22:09] <m1dnight_> oh, I see a lot of strange stuff here now, Loshki
[22:09] <Loshki> m1dnight_: you need some kind of logging on the server? Please define "strange"?
[22:09] <m1dnight_> exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr action 0x6 frozen
[22:09] <k1l_> m1dnight_: see dmesg and syslog if there is some hints whats going on
[22:09] <beid7712> http://sx69sx.com/
[22:10] <samthewildone> So I'm using gnome session flashback but, the "alt + tab" key does not work. Is there a way I can enable it to switch between applications ?
[22:10] <m1dnight_> let me screenshot it, because I can't copy paste, okay?
[22:10] <samthewildone> This is a feature I use heavily.
[22:10] <Timoty> ubuntu web irc is down
[22:10] <kermit> k1l_: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
[22:10] <johnca> test
[22:10] <SK1N_H34D> test
[22:11] <rww> Timoty: what do you mean by "Ubuntu web irc"?
[22:11] <k1l_> SK1N_H34D: please stop that. keep this channel clear for real ubuntu support
[22:11] <Timoty> http://webchat.freenode.net/
[22:11] <Timoty> okay it's okay
[22:11] <Timoty> sorry
[22:11] <k1l_> kermit: is the linux-image-generic package installed?
[22:11] <rww> ah. for future reference, that's a freenode service, not an Ubuntu one ;)
[22:12] <johnca> Timoty: I might be able to help, what would you like to get working?
[22:12] <Timoty> no it's okay John
[22:12] <samthewildone> never mind I got it
[22:12] <Loshki> m1dnight_: meanwhile, I see google hits for " Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr action 0x6 frozen" and they're not pretty...
[22:12] <m1dnight_> http://i.imgur.com/XQMBVJs.png <- this is what I see in the terminal of the VM without a login.
[22:12] <Timoty> It's working now.  What that actually means on a vm running lord knows where physically, is less clear...
[22:14] <johnca> eeee: don't forget to sudo
[22:15] <johnca> hahahaa eeee just quit, must have killed the wrong process
[22:15] <johnca> eeee what happened :)
[22:15] <eeee> johnca: i see it there, kill -9 <pid> isn't working
[22:15] <eeee> johnca: i tried to kill the pid next to it's pid
[22:15] <johnca> sudo?
[22:15] <Loshki> m1dnight_: what rww said...
[22:15] <eeee> lol :)
[22:15] <johnca> eeee
[22:16] <mekhami> can someone help me with setting up my dual boot laptop
[22:16] <mekhami> it keeps failing and i can't figure out why
[22:16] <eeee> johnca: nope, still there
[22:16] <eeee> mekhami: failing how?
[22:16] <johnca> do 'which rhythmbox'
[22:16] <mekhami> well let me walk you through my steps
[22:16] <mekhami> i'm booting it from my usb
[22:17] <eeee> johnca: /usr/bin/rhythmbox
[22:17] <mekhami> i select install ubuntu from the menu
[22:17] <mekhami> i walk through the steps selecting 'erase disk contents and install ubuntu'
[22:17] <mekhami> then it installs, prompts me to restart which i do
[22:17] <eeee> mekhami: 1 sec, why are you installing ubuntu first?
[22:17] <mekhami> why not?
[22:17] <eeee> mekhami: ok, continue
[22:17] <eeee> windows will eat grub again
[22:18] <mekhami> that seems to be the problem
[22:18] <mekhami> because
[22:18] <rww> mekhami: because ubuntu handles an existing Windows setup a lot better than Windows handles an existing Ubuntu setup
[22:18] <mekhami> when i reboot the hard drive doesn't read
[22:18] <mekhami> it had (has?) windows 8 on it
[22:18] <ubuntu_newbie> gud am everybody, cud u help me out on how to download movies just like IDM in windows? tnx a lot
[22:18] <mekhami> but i probably fucked something up somewhere
[22:18] <m1dnight_> http://pastebin.com/cSNHdMxh <-- dmesg says the same thing :) I'll go figure it out. I have a week to do so :p
[22:18] <johnca> eeee: do sudo lsof /usr/bin/rhythmbox
[22:18] <mekhami> so now all i want to do is reformat the entire hard drive and boot ubuntu
[22:19] <mekhami> well, dual boot ubuntu and windows 7 which i have a disc for
[22:19] <eeee> COMMAND     PID USER  FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF   NODE NAME
[22:19] <eeee> rhythmbox 25624    e txt    REG    8,5    10496 918274 /usr/bin/rhythmbox
[22:19] <johnca> if that doesnt work eeee, try restarting your desktop manager
[22:20] <johnca> (gdm, lightdm, etc0
[22:20] <eeee> mekhami: did you switch to legacy?
[22:22] <mekhami> boot setting?
[22:22] <eeee> yeah, windows 8 is uefi
[22:22] <eeee> and uses a efi partition
[22:22] <eeee> johnca: ok
[22:22] <mekhami> btw the error is Reboot and select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot Device and press a key
[22:23] <mekhami> so yeah
[22:23] <mekhami> okay i'll switch it to csm
[22:23] <SK1N_H34D> hmm... grub rescue
[22:23] <mekhami> i get the same error
[22:23] <mekhami> after switching to CSM
[22:24] <eeee> johnca: nevermind, it's a bug
[22:25] <mekhami> so what do i need to do to fix this
[22:25] <m1dnight_> does it make sense to check my smart data in a VM?
[22:25] <m1dnight_> I don't think it does :p
[22:26] <eeee> mekhami: are you installing ubuntu in uefi mode? if so, you'll need an efi partition
[22:26] <SK1N_H34D> but, that is can entry on shell ??
[22:26] <eeee> mekhami: or install win7 and ubuntu both in legacy mode
[22:26] <mekhami> okay eeee let's say i'm installing ubuntu in csm mode now
[22:26] <mekhami> can you help me set up the partitions cause i don't know really anything about file systems
[22:26] <SK1N_H34D> mekhami : you can change configure in bios
[22:26] <SK1N_H34D> uefi > efi
[22:27] <pfsense_rookie> mekhami, read ubuntu manual pls.
[22:27] <mekhami> pfsense_rookie, go fuck yourself pls
[22:27] <SK1N_H34D> you can search on google..
[22:27] <SK1N_H34D> how to change system uefi to efi..
[22:27] <k1l_> mekhami: no need for insulting and swearing in here, thanks
[22:28] <eeee> mekhami: legacy mode with gpt i seem to recall needs a 1MB bios partition to work
[22:28] <Timoty> <img src="apples.jpeg">
[22:28] <k1l_> !partitioning
[22:28] <Timoty> error message
[22:28] <k1l_> mekhami: see this ^. and ask specific questions in here if something is still unclear
[22:28] <Loshki> m1dnight_: not in the vm, but somewhere there's an actual disk underneath it all (it can't be turtles *all* the way down). That disk is the one you need to check...
[22:29] <m1dnight_> Loshki: I think I've had a facepalm moment
[22:29] <Loshki> m1dnight_: from something I said?
[22:29] <m1dnight_> The VM is running on an external HDD connected to my server. Something tells me that disk is psinning down.
[22:30] <Loshki> m1dnight_: if you're lucky, all you're seeing is pauses while it spins up to speed. If not, you have a bad drive...
[22:30] <m1dnight_> I know that's *bad*, but I was planning on buying 2 disks that fit all my data to put in the server. Now i have too many..
[22:30] <m1dnight_> The smart data for the drive is not that bad, but not good either.
[22:30] <m1dnight_> A lot of reallocated seector count
[22:32] <Loshki> m1dnight_: those backups you always meant to do, do them now...
[22:32] <m1dnight_> Loshki: I have set up those last week :) 1 offsite, 1 on a dedicated disk (both encrypted)
[22:33] <Loshki> m1dnight_: fine, time to replace that disk, it's now good only for scratch space...
[22:33] <m1dnight_> Indeed. I've had it for a while now. Time to replace all my disks by 2 new ones. 5TB is "not so expensive"
[22:36] <Loshki> m1dnight_: don't get me started: note that the larger the drive the more they seem to have quality issues...
[22:37] <m1dnight_> Note: This is a permanent feature of most of our external hard drives and cannot be disabled. WD externals that include WD SmartWare 1.6.X can use the software to change and/or disable this feature.
[22:37] <m1dnight_> well, that is <jeremy clarkson voice>stupid</jeremy clarkson voice>
[22:38] <m1dnight_> Loshki: Do you have any URL for that?
[22:39] <m1dnight_> https://www.backblaze.com/blog/category/storage-pod/ <-- This is all I have tbh
[22:39] <m1dnight_> about halfway the article they show stats about their drives. (didnt find any permalink)

[22:43] <ubuntu_newbie> how to download movies here in ubuntu just like IDM in windows? tnx guys
[22:46] <squinty> ubuntu_newbie,   minitube for standalone app or web browers addons like Video Downloadhelper in Firefox (maybe Chrome/Chromium too)
[22:47] <byonic> Hey guys! I’m trying to install ubuntu, but everything seems to lock up when I open any sort of window. I’m not sure where to begin troubleshooting :/
[22:49] <Bashing-om> byonic: unclear, is the stall in the install process, or do you have ubuntu installed and non-functional ?
[22:50] <byonic> Bashing-om: its in the install process
[22:50] <ubuntu_newbie> tnx squinty ill try that first
[22:51] <Bashing-om> byonic: how far did you get ? Where in the parocess is the stall ? ( graphics releated ?) ..
[22:52] <Valarkin_> is there any feeling so glorious as finally beating a problem that has stymied you for a fortnight?
[22:53] <neldogz> Does anyone have a recommendation on best way to image a hard disk to save it as a backup?
[22:53] <Bashing-om> Valarkin_: Makes one feel good all over, not even 'dove' can come close !
[22:53] <Valarkin_> I'm floating :D
[22:53] <ObrienDave> neldogz, clonezilla will give you an exact image
[22:53] <eeee> neldogz: i think you have to dd the zero's to a file, delete it, then dd it
[22:54] <byonic> Bashing-om: It’s right after the first dialog window after selecting to download and install updates and choosing to install proprietary software
[22:54] <Bashing-om> byonic: Not good, know good 'wired' internet connection ?
[22:55] <neldogz> dd seems to be difficult for me to use
[22:55] <neldogz> ObrienDave, thanks I will give CloneZilla a try :)
[22:56] <ObrienDave> neldogz, it works best if you install clonezilla live to a USB stick
[22:56] <neldogz> ObrienDave, thanks, that is exactly what I will do
[22:56] <mekhami> any idea why gparted is not letting me resize my partition? it says min size and max size are the same?
[22:57] <squinty> byonic,  might want to try doing the main install first (without checking the "download updates while installing") first and then doing the updates after the main installation/reboot has finished.
[22:58] <byonic> Bashing-om: I’m on a wired connection. But I think its a different issue, I’m able to browse the internet. I get another stall opening the software center.
[22:58] <byonic> squinty: I’ll try that
[22:58] <jiohdi> anyone know if anyone ever fixed wubi so that it does not take our your whole system after the first update?
[22:59] <ObrienDave> wubi needs to die a slow, painful death
[22:59] <jiohdi> if no one has fixed it, I agree
[22:59] <Bashing-om> jiohdi: IF uefi WUBI no workie anyway .. and also WUBI is no longer supported . Good luck,
[23:00] <jiohdi> I just bought a win7 machine it should not have uefi
[23:00] <squinty> mekhami,  running gparted from the live usb/dvd?  if no, might want to try that.
[23:01] <Bashing-om> jiohdi: Most Win7 are not UEFI, some are - later ones may have UEFI .
[23:01] <jiohdi> this is a refurbished one
[23:01] <jiohdi> I am hoping
[23:01] <jiohdi> no uefu
[23:02] <k1l_> jiohdi: step away from wubi. make a real install
[23:02] <jiohdi> I worry that a real install will void the warrentee I have heard stories
[23:02] <Bashing-om> jiohdi: You can find out by typing "bcdedit" in a Windows Administrator Command Prompt window.
[23:03] <k1l_> jiohdi: that is just FUD
[23:05] <jiohdi> FUD. Scottish slang term meaning pussy, vagina, muff,
[23:06] <k1l_> jiohdi: no, i was referring to that common term: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt
[23:07] <esseks_> jiohdi, some producers used to void the warranty when OS was reinstalled/changed, but nobody does that anymore. It's actually impossible and unreasonable to enforce that policy. Really, serious OEMs like Lenovo will let you keep the HDD while they fix the PC.
[23:08] <jiohdi> well if I bork the system I am planning full tilt ubuntu anyways
[23:13] <netlar> SillyCat
[23:14] <netlar> opps entered my password, sorry, don't anyone look ok
[23:15] <Raydiation> how gnome is ubuntu gnome? is it close to fedora/arch?
[23:15] <Raydiation> does it still ship with all the weird logind fix stuff?
[23:15] <rww> it uses GNOME as its desktop environment, just like Fedora.
[23:15] <k1l_> Raydiation: it tries to be near the vanilla gnome
[23:15] <rww> Raydiation: it uses systemd-shim, because Ubuntu doesn't use systemd yet.
[23:15] <Raydiation> ah ok, thats what i wanted to know thanks :)
[23:16] <Raydiation> when is that supposed to be dropped?
[23:16] <Raydiation> 14.10?
[23:16] <rww> before 16.04
[23:16] <rww> not 14.10
[23:16] <rww> might be 15.04 or 15.10, i dunno
[23:16] <Raydiation> i see, thanks
[23:16] <k1l_> there is a lot of work to be done to shift to systemd. that will take some more time
[23:17] <Raydiation> should pretty much work out of the box if they use debians efforts
[23:17] <k1l_> Raydiation: well, debian needs some time, too
[23:17] <rww> Debian works with systemd just fine.
[23:18] <rww> Raydiation: Debian's going from sysvinit to systemd, which is relatively easy because systemd can interpret sysvinit scripts.
[23:18] <rww> Raydiation: Ubuntu is going from upstart to systemd.
[23:18] <rww> so all the custom hackery in various upstart scripts needs to be redone. hence, time.
[23:19] <Raydiation> ah right
[23:19] <Raydiation> anything new about the MIR stuff?
[23:20] <rww> not really. there's an ubuntu-next daily ISO that includes it, if you want to play with it
[23:20] <rww> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-desktop-next/daily-live/current/ (heavily unstable, stick to USB boot and don't actually install it, etc)
[23:20] <k1l_> the main focus for MIR is phone/tablet so far.
[23:21] <rww> yep. especially with the RTM date for Ubuntu Phone coming up
[23:21] <k1l_> yes. i think afterwards they will inlcude the focus to the desktop
[23:22] <Raydiation> rww: isnt the daily build the next beta?
[23:22] <rww> Raydiation: no, you're thinking of http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
[23:22] <rww> ubuntu-desktop-next is the codename they're using for the Mir preview spins
[23:23] <Raydiation> ty
[23:23] <ubuntu-studio> may i ask you some question?
[23:23] <zeltin> can there be an uneven amount of pixels in one direction?
[23:24] <Raydiation> zeltin: yes
[23:24] <ubuntu-studio> when i install my studio, it occur error 5
[23:24] <ubuntu-studio> and my installation crashed
[23:24] <ubuntu-studio> thanks
[23:24] <Raydiation> zeltin: 1377x780px for instance
[23:26] <m1dnight_> ubuntu phone is coming soon? \o/
[23:26] <m1dnight_> JAY
[23:27] <ubuntu-studio> and my studio version is 14.04.1 lts
[23:27] <cos[x]> please have better commercials than amazon has for its fire phone
[23:27] <Raydiation> ubuntu-studio: your question is not very helpful
[23:28] <rww> cos[x]: that's up to the individual OEMs preparing phones with Ubuntu on them :)
[23:28] <ubuntu-studio> yeah
[23:28] <rww> Canonical itself isn't in the phone hardware business.
[23:28] <k1l_> ubuntu-studio: was it a cd/dvd or usb-drive? did you check the md5 checksum?
[23:29] <ubuntu-studio> usb-driver
[23:30] <k1l_> ubuntu-studio: see if that helps: http://askubuntu.com/questions/65830/errno-5-input-output-error-when-trying-to-install
[23:30] <ubuntu-studio> thanks
[23:31] <ubuntu-studio> i will have a try
[23:34] <LegalAction> Hi hi hi all
[23:34] <netlar> Will I need to do a fresh install for 16.04 from 14.04 because of Mir?
[23:34] <k1l_> netlar: no.
[23:35] <k1l_> netlar: and i bet the "old" xserver will be available for some time even after this
[23:35] <netlar> k1l_: Oh so Mir will just be added
[23:36] <sexyboy> /22/8
[23:36] <sexyboy> whoops
[23:36] <netlar> k1l_: So some applications will still need xorg?
[23:37] <k1l_> netlar: for legacy reasons yes. but just dont be to afraid of that change
[23:38] <netlar> k1l_: I am using the open source video driver, that will be supported under Mir right?
[23:39] <k1l_> netlar: the xorg drivers like we have now will change with the new wayland/mir anyway
[23:40] <netlar> k1l_: I am not worried, really, I absolutely love Ubuntu, it is a great OS
[23:41] <netlar> k1l_: Just AMD irritates me is all, their video driver is crap, but the open source driver works perfectly, so screw them
[23:41] <rww> using "crap" to describe fglrx is an insult to poop everywhere
[23:41]  * rww sticks to the open source one too
[23:42] <netlar> rww: Sorry no insult indented to poop
[23:43] <netlar> rww: Is the development on the Gallium driver pretty active?
[23:43] <rww> netlar: I haven't been paying attention recently, but development on radeon in general seems to be nice and active these days.
[23:44] <netlar> rww: I only have one video issue, and that is with Google Chrome
[23:44] <netlar> rww: Has some screen tearing when I resize the window, just a small annoyance
[23:45] <ubuntu> hello
[23:46] <Guest20905> On LiveCD trying to get back into my Luks crypt /home folder
[23:47] <Guest20905> I get as far as cryptsetup   but i get a "No key available with this passphrase."
[23:48] <Guest20905>  sudo cryptsetup -v luksOpen /dev/sda5 sda_crypt
[23:48] <Guest20905> No key available with this passphrase.
[23:49] <Guest20905> Is there anyone even on here ?
[23:50] <ReadySetWait> Guest20905: I'm here :)
[23:50] <k1l_> there are, but maybe they are just not familiar with encryption
[23:53] <eeee> Guest20905: are you following a guide?
[23:55] <john__> I want to pull out a one minute clip from a movie I have on my hard disk drive. It's x.264; What is simple/reasonable software that I can download to do this task (in the opinion of whomever chooses to answer)?
[23:55] <eeee> john__: openshot is nice
[23:55] <DaZ> i'd use ffmpeg :v
[23:56] <john__> I want a gui, with clicking/dragging
[23:57] <john__> although I won't be surprised if openshot uses ffmpeg underneath, since nearly everyone else does too
[23:58] <Faerie> had a little question about intel optimus support in 14.10, someone knows about it ?

[23:59] <mJayk> Faerie, im using it now

[14:08] <BlackDex> I need to change the bonding type of the machines
[14:09] <BlackDex> there is no way to do that via the gui, besides removing the bond :(
[14:09] <BlackDex> What is the best/quickest way to do this?
[14:09] <BlackDex> besides removing the bond and create it again
[14:10] <BlackDex> (Or please point me in the right direction in the gui if i totaly missed something)

[21:10] <blizzow> I'm trying to deploy a libvirt based VM in MAAS and want to use GPT as the partition table for my disk. I changed /etc/maas/preeseeds/curtin_userdata to have block-meta: format: gpt right under cloud config. I still get MBR formatted disks.
[21:11] <blizzow> Does anyone know how I can force maas to use GPT?
[21:11] <blizzow> I can't install zfsroot without gpt.


[15:14] <czajkowski> http://www.lczajkowski.com/2011/04/04/why-being-an-approved-loco-team-doesnt-actually-matter-a-jot/  food for thought folks
[15:18] <slashtom> so we don't need an ubuntu hour and can instead revert to the potd?
[15:19] <czajkowski> slashtom: not my call any more slashtom
[15:19] <slashtom> aye, i did suggest it :)
[15:19] <czajkowski> you're rather anti them :)
[15:19] <slashtom> it's splitting the linux community
[15:20] <slashtom> the ILUG is more inclusive, and they may get more than 4 people attending
[15:22]  * slashtom holds on to ebel, stop him falling off the internet
[15:22] <czajkowski> slashtom: as I said it's not my call any more, my only worry is you revert to a potd and not an Ubuntu hour it's more a lug than a loco
[15:22]  * ebel holds on!
[15:24] <slashtom> aye, but it's about the linux community
[15:24] <slashtom> maybe i'm biased, as i'm not primarily an ubuntu user
[15:24] <czajkowski> no it;s about the Ubuntu community. sorry.
[15:25] <czajkowski> if it;s a linux community then it becomes a lug
[15:25] <slashtom> ok, we won't talk with the fedora community :P
[15:25] <czajkowski> and if the loco is a lug, then it is not a loco
[15:25] <czajkowski> thats not it at all
[15:25] <czajkowski> *sigh* I'm too sick to go into this argument again
[15:25] <czajkowski> g'night
[15:27] <tdr112> its a bit early to sleep czajkowski
[15:28] <tdr112> i am coming around to think the same as slashtom ,
[15:28] <slashtom> careful now
[15:30] <tdr112> having them each month is a bit ba

[15:08] <Santerly> Hi all
[16:11] <StupidDanbo> I'm having trouble fixing an issue with my root folder being full. df -i reports it's only 5% in use, but df -h reports it's 100% in use. it's 107G in size and it says 102G used but somehow that's 100%
[16:12] <StupidDanbo> wait why is the text grey? am I banned or something?
[16:12] <diogenes_> nope
[21:00] <xu-help3w> I've installed Xubuntu 20.10 on Asus Eee PC 1001p (twice) and it doesn't work (I don't know what exactly and would like to know)
[21:00] <xu-help3w> Any suggestions where to dig? I would appreciate that
[21:00] <xu-help3w> what I have now looks like some kind of bootloop
[21:04] <genii> xu-help3w: Turning off "Boot Booster" in it's BIOS may help
[21:05] <genii> I had a 1005HA that required this
[21:07] <xu-help3w> "Boot Booster" setting was present when I had dualboot with Windows 7 and Xubuntu, now it doesn't show this setting
[21:07] <xu-help3w> I tried to turn it off when there was windows 7, it didn't help
[21:08] <xu-help3w> now there is no any Windows, only Xubuntu which doesn't boot
[21:09] <genii> I think the boot boost thing required the EFI. But I don;t have that machine any more now to test with
[21:09] <xu-help3w> Hmm
[21:10] <xu-help3w> I'm trying to press Ctrl+Alt+F1-F6, something appears for a moment, but disappears. A black screen.
[21:11] <genii> Hm, there's ancient help article for that model, but for Ubuntu Netboot Remix 10.04 version
[21:11] <genii> IUt has backlight issue also of some kind requiring a kernel option at boot time to fix
[21:11] <genii> For what it might be worth https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/1001P
[21:13] <genii> It's possible you're hitting the backlight issue which it describes
[21:14] <xu-help3w> So, I need to apply that fix named "Screen Brightness" in the given link, am I right?
[21:18] <genii> That's the first tactic I would attempt, yes
[21:19] <genii> Because perhaps the screen is actually displaying something informative but not beeing seen because of this EeePC quirk
[21:20] <xu-help3w> Thank you a lot :3 I'll try
