[00:00] <lrs> Rexter, Its a laptop bluetooth adapter, its not inside the mb, you can plug it in and out but i guess you could say its built in a way?
[00:01] <Rexter> lrs: It's a card, connected directly to the mobo, right?
[00:01] <lrs> Yeah, a really small card
[00:01] <lrs> http://g01.a.alicdn.com/kf/HTB13ZvWHVXXXXcqXXXXq6xXFXXXo/Bluetooth-Daughter-Card-Bluetooth-Adapter-60Y3305-60Y3303-for-Lenovo-Thinkpad-T530-T430-X230I-X230.jpg_350x350.jpg < looks like that
[00:02] <EriC^^> olav1234: does /home/olav/.ssh/id_rsa exist?
[00:02] <TJ-> lrs: the firmware stores settings in non volatile RAM. The reset to defaults we did is supposed to help clear any problems there, but sometines won't. A firmware upgrade should clear it too, but doesn't always. A bad setting there might be the bug in the firmware, and so updating the firmware may not be the solution once the device disappears
[00:02] <olav1234> on the client? it should
[00:02] <Rexter> lrs: and you are just seeing no logical evitance of it, right?
[00:02] <olav1234> ill check
[00:02] <lrs> Evidence? Nope
[00:02] <olav1234> yes it does (you mean on the client, right?)
[00:03] <EriC^^> olav1234: yeah
[00:03] <TJ-> lrs: I'm wondering if you did another F9 Setup defaults it might help, now the new firmware is installed
[00:03] <lrs> I have literally never used it, so that it would break from that is kinda stupid. So i though there was something wrong. Havent been able to check on win. But maybe its broken
[00:03] <olav1234> nothing has changed besides reinstalling openssh-server
[00:03] <lrs> TJ-, Yeah I did, but i had to change the uefi/legacy thing though
[00:03] <TJ-> lrs: basically, there is a possibility that the bad setting is still there, and that is what prevents the firmware from initialising the device
[00:03] <lrs> And no secure boot
[00:03] <lrs> I think that might be the problem
[00:03] <lrs> Its either that its completely broken
[00:04] <lrs> Or that its not supported when its not UEFI or whatever
[00:04] <TJ-> lrs: I've seen it happen - mainly with Lenovo UEFI too!
[00:04] <lrs> Maybe some sort of security/bluetooth thing
[00:04] <olav1234> also i allowed password authentication since pubkey did not work anymore, but that does not seem to work either for some reason
[00:04] <lrs> Alot of people can abuse bluetooth and get into computers
[00:04] <lrs> Lenovo is a very high security computer manufacturer
[00:04] <TJ-> lrs: I'd doubt that, but it is possible there's some complicated interaction whereby in UEFI mode different hardware initialisation is done, which isn't done in BIOS/Legacy mode
[00:04] <TJ-> lrs: Not in my experience they aren't!
[00:04] <lrs> So i can imagine that they *might* have some sort of thing that prevents you from using bluetooth if it sees that you have an alien o
[00:04] <lrs> s
[00:05] <lrs> TJ-, Yeah well, im just saying, their nisch is security
[00:05] <lrs> They have fingerprint scan, secure boot and so on
[00:06] <TJ-> lrs: you mean like the Lenovo SuperFish root kit?
[00:07] <lrs> TJ-, https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html/UEFI_Secure_Boot_Guide/ch02s02.html
[00:07] <TJ-> lrs: UEFI/SecureBoot is mandated by Microsoft for Windows logo compliance. Many PCs have fingerprint scanners, but they're useless as security devices - NEVER use fingerprint scanner for authentication - only for user identity (username)
[00:08] <EriC^^> olav1234: what does that say?
[00:08] <EriC^^> in -vvv or so
[00:08] <TJ-> lrs: interstingly, I saw no sign of the Fingerprint scanner in the USB devices either
[00:08] <olav1234> what does what say?
[00:08] <lrs> TJ-, Right, I dont have one. Im just saying
[00:08] <TJ-> lrs: ahhh, that'd explain it!
[00:08] <TJ-> lrs: My PC has: "Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0483:2016 STMicroelectronics Fingerprint Reader"
[00:09] <olav1234> oh, password login, ill check
[00:09] <EriC^^> ok
[00:09] <lrs> I just said examples on how the company works, they clearly have a secure approach. Might not be *the best* company. But if they find out that someone can hijack your computer from bluetooth, and that it sees you have an non supported OS installed. I think chances are a bit high they might disable it, no? I dont know
[00:10] <olav1234> gives me the same wall of text as before
[00:11] <EriC^^> what happens after you enter the password?
[00:11] <olav1234> it just says "permission denied" even though im sure its the right password
[00:12] <olav1234> btw, i still have a couple of ssh connections up from before i did the mistake, i dont know if this matters
[00:12] <EriC^^> check /var/log/auth.log it might have clues
[00:12] <olav1234> i reinstalled openssh-server before i restarted it
[00:12] <TJ-> lrs: I very much doubt that, on that argument they'd disable Wifi and Cellular modem!
[00:13] <olav1234> eureka! i think i just found out why it does not work, ill check and report back in a sec!
[00:14] <EriC^^> ok!
[00:14] <lrs> TJ-, You think? I might be wrong but if you enable wifi, you have to enter a network yourself, and modem you have to start. With bluetooth as soon as you enable it, you open yourself up. But i might be wrong. Youre right in your argument though.
[00:15] <TJ-> lrs:  BT is no different to Wifi or Cellular; software has to enable and use it. BT can't miraculously accept connections/files without you allowing it.
[00:16] <lrs> TJ-, I was thinking of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluesnarfing
[00:16] <olav1234> yes, i fixed it! too much coffe makes me do silly mistakes.. i had forgotten to add my user to a group i made for sshusers for extra security....
[00:17] <ycon_> Hi, I've run "sudo -u postgres -c 'createuser -P". Once I'm the posgres user, when I sudo it asks me for a password (but I haven't created one). Any ideas?
[00:17] <TJ-> lrs: that photo on aliexpress you linked to; does your BT module also have that big screw hole at 1 end?
[00:17] <olav1234> EricC^^: thanks for the help Eric! next time i have some problem ill check logs before i ask for help
[00:17] <lrs> Yeah
[00:18] <EriC^^> olav1234: anytime, glad it worked out :)
[00:18] <TJ-> lrs: so this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-Lenovo-Thinkpad-X230-Tablet-T530-Bluetooth-Module-Board-60Y3303-/251989693670?hash=item3aabc194e6:g:PCgAAOSwBLlVd05v
[00:19] <lrs> Yeah, looks like it might work
[00:20] <lrs> TJ-,  http://www.linux-hardware-guide.com/2014-10-11-asus-usb-bt400-usb-bluetooth-4-0 Im looking at getting this one though kind of
[00:21] <TJ-> lrs: OK, using that part number I found some very hi res photos of the module here: http://goo.gl/rpQmDe
[00:21] <lrs> Mine says something else I think, not sure
[00:21] <holladiewaldfee> hey
[00:21] <TJ-> lrs: Looking at the component-side of the PCB, you can see there's a flat header socket for the cable connection. Seeing that, my first thought is ... those things can vibrate out of position. I'd put my thumb on it and press it in firmly
[00:22] <lrs> Yeah, i pulled it out and put it together
[00:22] <holladiewaldfee> is there a magnifing glass for ubuntu which can "fly" permanently under my mouse icon?
[00:22] <holladiewaldfee> or over..
[00:22] <TJ-> lrs: Good. Did you trace the cable to the mobo connection and re-do that end too
[00:23] <lrs> TJ-, The socket for the pins are straight into the mb so
[00:23] <TJ-> lrs: a replacement for US$17 isn't bad either
[00:24] <lrs> TJ-, Yeah, but im not 100% it is that to be completely honest.
[00:24] <ycon_> I've run sudo -u postgres -c 'createuser -P, but and it enters than user. However, when I try to sudo it asks for a password (and I haven't created on for the user). What can I do?
[00:24] <lrs> To be completely sure, id need to install windows, get lenovos diagnostics and drivers
[00:24] <lrs> And if they say, yep, cant find anything then its that
[00:25] <TJ-> lrs: I'll keep my ears open for another T530 user and ask them to check their system's BT cnfig
[00:25] <lrs> TJ-, Thanks, again, thanks for thelp. Aprreciate it _alot_
[00:31] <TJ-> lrs: this is interesting, gives the IDs: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Bluetooth_Daughter_Card_%2814_pins%29
[00:31] <TJ-> lrs: USB id 0a5c:21e6
[00:32] <millerti> The Ubuntu installer ISO doesn't have smartctl.  How can I check health of a drive I want to fsck before I fsck it?  I did "fsck.ext4 -fn /dev/sdb1", and it came back error-free.
[00:32] <millerti> But someone suggested I check SMART status before doing anything that would modify the filesystem,
[00:32] <TJ-> millerti: "sudo apt-get install smartmontools"
[00:34] <wileee> millerti, live might have smartmontools onboard for install if not run an update than try, you may need to tick the cd off in live.
[00:34] <millerti> TJ-: On the live CD?
[00:35] <millerti> I'm running the install CD in rescue mode and having a look at stuff before I do anything.
[00:36] <wileee> millerti, As a regular person here I would say, grab TJ- ankle and follow what they and don;t let go. ;)
[00:36] <TJ-> millerti: With a Live ISO boot the image is in-memory; you can install packages in the same way as a full install, with the exception that they don't remain after a reboot
[00:36] <millerti> Oh, sweet.
[00:37] <TJ-> millerti: in rescue mode I'm not so sure. I'm thinking about the "Try Ubuntu" full desktop mode
[00:37] <millerti> My root fs is r/w, so it should work.  The root is from the ISO, so it must be unioning the ISO with a ramdisk.
[00:37] <millerti> Or something.
[00:38] <TJ-> millerti: it's COW in memory
[00:38] <millerti> There's no apt-get.
[00:38] <TJ-> millerti: hmmm, then it isn't the Live Desktop environment then.
[00:38] <millerti> No.  This is Ubuntu Server 15.10
[00:38] <TJ-> millerti: is it the ubuntu-server 'rescue' mode?
[00:38] <TJ-> millerti: Ahhh!
[00:38] <Jordan_U> millerti: Please boot from a LiveCD, not a server install CD.
[00:38] <millerti> Yes, it's in the rescue mode.
[00:39] <millerti> Ok, I'll download that.
[00:39] <TJ-> millerti: hangon, let me try in a VM here, see how its done
[00:39] <Jordan_U> millerti: Rescue mode just chroots into your installed system, where you'll likely have all of the same problems you had trying to debug this when booted normally.
[00:39] <millerti> Can I boot the liveCD in command line mode?  I have to use IPMI console redirection.
[00:40] <millerti> Jordan_U, I chose not to use the installed system as root.  It mounts the installed system on /target.
[00:40] <millerti> BTW, I'm miles away from the server, so the ISO it booted from it on my laptop, and it booted over the internet.
[00:41] <millerti> I can use the IPMI console redirection tool to attack a virtual CDROM drive.
[00:41] <TJ-> millerti: booting into it now
[00:41] <millerti> TJ-:  HMM?
[00:41] <millerti> Oh, ok.
[00:42] <millerti> I missed what you said earlier.
[00:43] <TJ-> millerti: I've not had to rescue using the server ISO, I use my own images
[00:43] <millerti> If I've booted into rescue mode, is there an "install" command?  Just curious.
[00:43] <millerti> TJ-, I got the server ISO so I could perform an install.
[00:43] <Jordan_U> TJ-: If you can't do what you want from rescue mode, grml is a nice Debian based liveCD distro with smartctl (and many other nice tools) included by default, and it boots to a text tty, which should hopefully allow IPMI console redirection.
[00:43] <millerti> I just want to update to 15.10, repairing the screwed up 15.04 install in the process.  Can I do that?
[00:44] <millerti> Instead of upgrading, I just install into an existing system.  Will that work?
[00:44] <TJ-> Jordan_U:  millerti That might the quickest option. Best to diagnose and possibly fix what is wrong before trying to release-upgrade
[00:44] <millerti> I saved some important files, like network config, passwd, group, exports...
[00:45] <millerti> TJ-:  I think something just went wrong with the upgrade to 15.04.
[00:45] <millerti> I had gotten some errors.
[00:45] <millerti> About package dependencies not being configured yet.
[00:45] <millerti> Then there were missing things, like no reboot command, no init, etc.
[00:46] <TJ-> millerti: smartmontools IS ON the server CD
[00:46] <Starn> aptd keeps crashing and slowing my pc down. everytime i step away and come back i have an error report of aptd crashing. i've clicked to report it everytime i see it.
[00:47] <millerti> TJ- What is the command?
[00:47] <millerti> I'm looking for "smartctl"
[00:47] <TJ-> millerti: "ls -l /cdrom/pool/main/s/smartmontools/"
[00:48] <millerti> TJ-:  There's a deb package there.
[00:48] <TJ-> millerti: but, as the rescue shell doesn't have 'dpkg' you can't install it :D
[00:49] <millerti> TJ-:  Correct.
[00:50] <TJ-> millerti: best to get an image you work with
[00:50] <TJ-> millerti: s/you/you can/
[00:50] <millerti> TJ-:  How critical is this?  I do an fsck, and it comes back clean as a whistle.  I could do a bad sector check, just for good measure.
[00:50] <dixson-canaima41> as I make an iso of my ubuntu 14.04?
[00:51] <millerti> Like I say, it's an enterprise-grade SSD.  It's very unlikely to be a hardware problem.
[00:51] <TJ-> millerti: well, if a disk is failing it may affect other areas of the disk. It's always best to check, but if the file-system looks OK then boot into it in recovery mode if possible, and run smartctl from there ?
[00:51] <daftykins> dixson-canaima41: with all the software you use? probably, it'd be more work than you'd expect though.
[00:51] <millerti> TJ-:  Too many missing packages from the installed OS.
[00:52] <millerti> TJ-:  Also, it didn't have smartmontools installed to begin wtih.
yes
[00:52] <TJ-> millerti: Do as Jordan_U suggested; that'll give you a useful recovery shell
[00:52] <millerti> I mean, maybe I can chroot in, and maybe it'll install, but is that a good idea?  Better to use a LiveCD.
[00:52] <daftykins> dixson-canaima41: yeah waste of time imo
[00:53] <millerti> grml, right?
 how I do?
[00:53] <TJ-> millerti: 'Live' generally assumes the GUI; it can be booted without but I'd have to play with the boot menu options to ensure you could prevent it bringing up the GUI
[00:53] <TJ-> millerti: Yes
[00:54] <dixson-canaima41> I want to install ubuntu on another PC without internet with all updates.
[00:55] <daftykins> take it to somewhere with internet access
[00:56] <Renfried> you need internet to get all the restricted things, unless you download the packages, and install them manually
[00:57] <dixson-canaima41> I can not make a copy of my distro already installed and install it on another pc???
[00:58] <daftykins> dixson-canaima41: one way, update an online PC... copy all the packages from /var/cache/apt/archives and then install them on the offline machine
[00:58] <daftykins> no that's a bad approach
[00:58] <Renfried> unless it has exactly the same spec probably not advised
[00:58] <daftykins> no that's rubbish, it has nothing to do with spec
[00:58] <daftykins> a cloned install would work fine as long as the architecture is the same
[00:59] <Renfried> why doesnt the pc have net access?
[01:00] <dixson-canaima41> as I can clone ubuntu??
[01:01] <dixson-canaima41> It is work and no internet
[01:02] <daftykins> you should not be handling the computers at your workplace without the IT staff's involvement
[01:02] <daftykins> (if any)
[01:05] <Renfried> you could download the 14.04.3 LTS. That will be as stable as possible if you cant install updates then download the restricted packages, and dependencies, and that might work
[01:05] <TJ-> Well, amazingly, I figured out it IS POSSIBLE to extract .deb packages into the ubuntu-server rescue environment
[01:06] <daftykins> :)
[01:06] <daftykins> Renfried: no need, what i said would work fine.
[01:10] <TJ-> Don't forget good old apt-offline
[01:14] <lostsoul> http://irc.debian.org
[01:19] <alian> miniwep for ubuntu
[01:20] <daftykins> alian: that doesn't seem to be phrased like a question
[01:21] <halberd> somehow my computer has chosen to memorize my gnupg password and automatically supply it whenever I decrypt something... this is distressing since this password shouldn't be anywhere but in my head.  However when I go to Passwords and Keys I don't see where this password is stored.  how do I get rid of it?
[01:22] <TJ-> halberd: sounds like the agent has cached it
[01:22] <halberd> "the agent" is the Terminal application
[01:23] <Renfried> what email program? i use thunderbird with enigmail, and it has a timer for how long it is stored in memory. could it be something like that?
[01:24] <halberd> I'm not using it for email
[01:25] <halberd> when I go to Passwords and Keys there is an entry for GnuPG keys, but if I delete that it only deletes my private key, not the stored password
[01:25] <Renfried> ah well, that my extent of knowledge exhausted :)
[01:27] <halberd> it's not the Terminal application that is storing the password, because I opened an xterm and that also knew the password
[01:28] <TJ-> halberd: gnome-keyring caches things for the session
[01:29] <halberd> TJ-, I think it's being stored for longer than a session... but you think rebooting might fix it?
[01:31] <TJ-> halberd: log-out should be sufficient, that will end the current user session
[01:32] <halberd> I'll try it
[01:34] <eniacorion> olá para todos
[01:34] <daftykins> !es
[01:35] <linuxuz3r> how do i disable wayland
[01:35] <halberd> you were right, however now I have supplied my password and it's remembering it again
[01:36] <halberd> I mean, it worked once and it did not remember it, but now it is again remembering it
[01:36] <TJ-> halberd: do you want to set a timeout instead?
[01:36] <TJ-> halberd: do "gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.crypto.cache"
[01:36] <halberd> I want it to never remember this password
[01:37] <TJ-> halberd: "gsettings set org.gnome.crypto.cache gpg-cache-method 'timeout' "
[01:38] <TJ-> halberd: and "gsettings set org.gnome.crypto.cache gpg-cache-ttl 0"
[01:39] <halberd> hm hasn't worked yet maybe i need to logout/in again
[01:40] <halberd> nope it's not working, maybe I should try timeout 1, timeout 0 might be never timeout
[01:41] <TJ-> halberd: Yes, I wondered that too, was going to suggest it if 0 seemed not to work
[01:41] <TJ-> Never can tell with some programmers! if it is an unsigned value then 0 would mean infinity, whereas if its signed then -1 would be sensible
[01:42] <ycon_> Hi all, I'm not able to setup my virtualenv without calling for sudo. So Im trying to run "sudo usermod -a -G www-data azureuser" but that just says "send invalidate(passwd) request, exiting" etc... Any ideas?
[01:43] <halberd> thanks, now it's working every time... do I  need to make sure I reset those settings every time I log in?   or should they work permanently?
[01:43] <TJ-> halberd: no, those are stored in the user's gconf database
[01:47] <Gerowen> Is there a way to mount a device by say it's serial number or something instead of its /dev/foo device?  I've got a 2 TB external hard drive on the living room PC that is connected to our television.  I have that storage drive shared via SSH, and have a mount command added to /etc/rc.local to make sure it always mounts to /mnt/Storage on bootup.  However, sometimes it randomly changes /dev identifiers to that it's /dev/sdf1 or /dev/sdb1, which forces
[01:47] <Gerowen> me to go manually mount it when the computer reboots.
[01:47] <daftykins> UUID.
[01:47] <daftykins> "sudo blkid"
[01:47] <Gerowen> So I can just substitute the UUID in place of /dev/foo?
[01:48] <daftykins> tip #1 is never use uppercase in Linux paths, tip #2 is you mount file systems from /etc/fstab - not via hacks like that :)
[01:48] <TJ-> Gerowen: see "man fstab"
[01:48] <Gerowen> daftykins: I think I remember trying to do it with fstab forever ago and ran into headaches, I'll give it another shot though, :-)
[01:49] <Gerowen> It's been several versions and distros since I tried fstab last.
[01:49] <daftykins> show us a pastebin of your attempt at editing it and we'll sort you out
[01:49] <daftykins> you'll need to share "sudo blkid", "sudo parted -l" and /etc/fstab itself ideally
[01:49] <Gerowen> daftykins: Don't have one now, like I said, been several upgrades and such since I tried it out, :P
[01:49] <Gerowen> May have one in a bit though.
[01:50] <Gerowen> Depending on how it works out.
[01:50] <p5yc071c> would installing Ubuntu in a windows Virtual PC make the files stored under that filesystem any more secure than those under the windows system?
[01:50] <daftykins> err what
[01:50] <TJ-> p5yc071c: no
[01:50] <daftykins> p5yc071c: what are you trying to achieve? :P
[01:51] <p5yc071c> daftykins: I'd like to secure my data.
[01:51] <daftykins> obfuscation is not security
[01:51] <daftykins> and paranoia is harmful :)
[01:51] <p5yc071c> daftykins:  I've been running ubuntu for years and I *think* it's much more secure than windows...
[01:52] <p5yc071c> ha!
[01:52] <p5yc071c> daftykins:  I recently bought a macbook so that I could install solidworks...so I made a dual boot with windows...
[01:52] <Sebass_REbellion> Hi people, i have a question. Im using unubtu 15.04, and i downloaded a package "kde-wallpapers" to have more wallpapers. Where are they stored?
[01:52] <TJ-> Sebass_REbellion: "dpkg -L kde-wallpapers"
[01:52] <daftykins> /usr/share/ somewhere is my guess
[01:52] <daftykins> :>
[01:53] <Sebass_REbellion> TJ-: I found them. Thanks!
[01:54] <Gerowen> Got /etc/fstab working this time around, :-)
[01:54] <daftykins> \o/
[01:54] <Sebass_REbellion> .
[01:55] <Gerowen> mount -a mounted it via UUID properly,  now to reboot and verify.
[01:56] <p5yc071c> I really want to create a tripple boot system on a macbook...has anyone had any success with that?
[01:56] <p5yc071c> i'm assuming you'd have to install Linux - OSX - Windows?
[01:56] <daftykins> it's bad enough using the mac the first time :)
[01:56] <daftykins> no, OS X first always.
[01:56] <p5yc071c> yeah I'm not a fan of their communist ways...
[01:57] <daftykins> rEFInd would sort you out there
[01:57] <daftykins> here's not really the place for OS wars :)
[01:57] <p5yc071c> : ? what's rEFInd?
[01:58] <daftykins> ah i see you have not looked this up at all.
[01:58] <p5yc071c> ha...Yeah, i've got no clue...
[01:59] <daftykins> ok well look the above up, as it's off topic for here really
[01:59] <p5yc071c> thanks
[01:59] <smokeless> p5y: look up bootcamp.
[02:00] <daftykins> that's the obvious part ;)
[02:01] <p5yc071c> Daftykins:  I think it might be a legit discussion for here if we widen our scope again to my original ...question/issue
[02:01]  * daftykins points at the topic

[02:01] <daftykins> be sure to document your model's installation, i've written one of those.
[02:02] <p5yc071c> alrighty, thanks again
[02:05] <john_rambo> Hi I am using Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 under Kubuntu 15.10  .... When I open driver manager it says  "your computer requires no proprietary drivers" ... How do Iinstall the nonfree drivers?
[02:06] <daftykins> desktop PC?
[02:06] <john_rambo> Yes
[02:06] <daftykins> hmm i wonder what the best driver in 15.10 is now
[02:06] <UserUS> http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/77525/en-us
[02:06] <daftykins> sudo apt-get install nvidia-352
[02:06] <daftykins> UserUS: no, *NEVER* advise a manual download.
[02:07] <daftykins> it is horrible advice and nvidia themselves say don't do it.
[02:07] <UserUS> daftykins: why post the driver then in the first place?
[02:08] <john_rambo> I guess I will have to wait for the driver to reach the repos
[02:08] <daftykins> UserUS: you did, not me.
[02:08] <daftykins> UserUS: oh them... for LFS setups i guess.
[02:09] <daftykins> john_rambo: what? install 352 like i said, your card is too old to benefit from newer versions anyway.
[02:09] <UserUS> daftykins: what is an LFS setup?
[02:10] <daftykins> off topic :)
[02:10] <Guest33781> HI
[02:11] <TJ-> the best thing to do is "ubuntu-drivers devices"
[02:11] <daftykins> lo
[02:11] <Guest33781> HOW IS EVERY ONE
[02:12] <neetz> Hey guys ! I just removed all partitions of my ubuntu OS ( using parted ) by mistake , and I don't want to reboot now ! I know it won't boot up if i reboot , what do I do to undo delete partitions ?
[02:13] <TJ-> neetz: "cat /proc/partitions" to begin with, check the kernel still knows about them
[02:15] <neetz> TJ-:  it says sda , sda 3 ,sda4 partitions
[02:16] <UserUS> neetz: which on contained ubuntu?
[02:16] <UserUS> one*
[02:17] <TJ-> neetz: OK, now do "DEV=sda; S=/sys/block/${DEV}/${DEV}; echo "DEV  P START SIZE"; for P in ${S}?; do echo "${P##*/} $(cat $P/partition) $(cat $P/start) $(cat $P/size)"; done "
[02:18] <TJ-> neetz: and pastebin the result please
[02:19] <neetz> TJ-:  okay , hold on :)
[02:19] <neetz> UserUS:  I do not know
[02:20] <neetz> TJ-:  what does the command do anyway ?
[02:20] <TJ-> neetz: don't worry about where 'Ubuntu' is, the kernel knows and won't forget unless the system loses power.
[02:20] <TJ-> neetz: it recreates all the partition data
[02:22] <TJ-> neetz: here's a comparison from my PC, between parted and that code: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12967304/

[02:38] <neetz> TJ-:  hey this is the output http://pastebin.com/6aVEQari
[02:41] <neetz> TJ-:  any inputs ?
[02:41] <TJ-> neetz: OK, that looks good. What is weird is there's no partition 1 or 2.
[02:42] <TJ-> neetz: can you do "pastebinit <( mount; sudo parted /dev/sda unit s print )"
[02:46] <neetz> TJ-:  pastebinit ?
[02:46] <neetz> TJ-:  can you retype the command
[02:48] <TJ-> neetz: can you do "pastebinit <( mount; sudo parted /dev/sda unit s print )"
[02:48] <TJ-> neetz: you may need to install the command first: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit"
[02:52] <neetz> TJ-:  no internet mate :(
[02:52] <TJ-> neetz: that's a problem :)
[02:53] <TJ-> neetz: what type of partitioning scheme was on the disk before you deleted it? GPT or MBR ? how did you delete it, too?
[02:53] <elosz> hello..how to find on which filesystem i am in current working direcroty?
[02:53] <Ben64> pwd
[02:54] <elosz>  ./dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 on / type ext3
[02:54] <neetz> TJ-:  GPT
[02:54] <elosz> ./dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
[02:54] <neetz> TJ-:  I used parted
[02:54] <elosz> so my underlying device is /dev/mapper.. or /dev/sda1?
[02:55] <daftykins> LVM complicates matters somewhat ;)
[02:55] <neetz> TJ-:  i just ran parted /dev/sda
[02:55] <neetz> TJ-:  and then rm 1 , rm 2 , so on
[02:55] <Ben64> if you're in /boot you're in /dev/sda1
[02:56] <elosz> Ben64: i am in /usr/src/myfolder
[02:56] <Ben64> df .
[02:56] <TJ-> neetz: the secondary PT may still be there, hang on a mo
[02:57] <elosz> Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00                       15485912   3264900  11414920  23% / /dev/sda1                96990     68271     23500  75% /boot

[02:58] <it_> Can someone help me how can I copy everything from /home to usb flash drive?
[02:58] <neetz> TJ-:  sure ,thanks a ton bro :)
[02:58] <Ben64> elosz: "df ." outputs three terribly formatted lines?
[02:59] <it_> what should i type in the terminal?
[02:59] <elosz> Ben64: oh got my answer from df.
[02:59] <daftykins> it_: cp /file /flash/drive/mount/point/
[03:00] <TJ-> neetz: Try "sudo sgdisk --verify /dev/sda" - it won't fix, but it will report inconsistencies. It may indicate the secondary GPT (at the end of the disk) is different from the Primary (at the start of the disk) and then other tools could use the good table to repair the GPT fully
[03:01] <it_> daftykins i want to copy everything even hidden files and hidden folders
[03:01] <daftykins> use rsync
[03:01] <daftykins> !rsync
[03:03] <neetz> TJ-:  it says " No problems found . 931.5 gb available in 1 section ....."
[03:04] <it_> daftykins does it work with an usb with fat 32
[03:07] <TJ-> neetz: darn. I think you're going to need to do the recovery in stages. First, is to recreate partition's 2 and 3 using the data my shell script gave you (http://pastebin.com/6aVEQari). Then you'll need to reboot the PC using a Live ISO image on DVD or USB device, use the "Try Ubuntu" desktop option, install the 'testdisk' package into the Live environment, and run "sudo testdisk /dev/sda"  - testdisk will
[03:07] <TJ-> scan the hard drive and try to rebuild the partition table. It'll do that in-memory and offer you its results, if you agree with them, you can tell it to write them to disk.
[03:08] <TJ-> !recover | neetz here's some info on the tools available
[03:09] <TJ-> neetz: the PC will need network access to install 'testdisk' though. If it had network access right now, you could install 'testdisk' package in the running system and run it
[03:11] <it_> daftykins does it work with an usb with fat 32
[03:11] <it_> daftykins does it work with an usb with fat 32
[03:11] <neetz> TJ-:  thanks mate , i need the system just to clear other partitions , so i remove the partitions connecting other hard disks , and this time i deleted partitions of OS hard disk by mistake , so I think what i will do is , I won't reboot my system unless i solve all hard disks issue
[03:11] <daftykins> it_: look it up
[03:11] <it_> daftykins i can not found anything about it
[03:11] <TJ-> neetz: testdisk is definitely the tool to use
[03:12] <TJ-> neetz: I'm off to bed now, good luck with it
[03:12] <daftykins> oh well
[03:13] <it_> daftykins is there one that you are sure will work
[03:13] <daftykins> i have to go now.
[03:13] <it_> Can someone help me how can I copy everything from /home to usb flash drive?
[03:13] <it_> what should i type in the terminal?
[03:14] <Ben64> "man rsync" and read how to use rsync
[03:14] <it_> i want to copy everything even hidden files and hidden folders
[03:15] <Ben64> yep, that information is in the rsync man page
[03:15] <it_> does it work with an usb with fat 32
[03:15] <Ben64> some stuff might not, notably files over 4GB, some filenames won't work either
[03:17] <smokeless> it_: cp -a /home/. /your/mount/point
[03:17] <it_> Ben64 I need a backup of everything in /home
[03:17] <Ben64> it_: read the rsync man page
[03:18] <it_> Ben64 even hidden files and hidden folders
[03:18] <Ben64> yes i know, you've said that
 does it work with an usb fat32
 are you sure
[03:19] <Ben64> it_: fat32 still has the limitations i mentioned
[03:21] <smokeless> it_: does the drive have to remain fat32 for some reason?
[03:22] <it_> smokeless i have other important stuff in it
[03:23] <it_> smokeless i need to use it in windows
[03:24] <Ben64> it_: so use rsync and then verify if all the files are there
[03:25] <Ben64> errors should pop up if it can't do something
[03:25] <it_> Ben64 are you sure
[03:26] <smokeless> it_: If you are worried about an issue, you should probably back up your USB stick somewhere.
[03:26] <it_> Ben64 i need to clone everything
[03:26] <Ben64> right, you've said that many times already
[03:29] <smokeless> it_: as far as will it work with fat32, use this to check http://www.ducea.com/2008/02/12/linux-tips-find-all-files-of-a-particular-size/
[03:30] <it_> so does this work                                            Perform a Simple Backup
[03:30] <it_> The simplest method for backing up over a network is to use rsync via SSH (using the -e ssh option). Alternatively, you can use the rsync daemon (see Rsync Daemon which requires much more configuration. Local backup only requires rsync and read/write access to the folders being synchronized. Below you will find examples of commands that can be used to backup in either case. It should be noted, that a network sync can be performed locally so long as the folde
[03:30] <it_> r is shared (say by Samba) and then mounted to the machine with folder1. This process gets around having to use ssh but is less secure and should only be used in secure private networks, like at your home.
[03:30] <it_> Local Backup
[03:30] <it_> sudo rsync -azvv /home/path/folder1/ /home/path/folder2                                                                           with this -a -azvv
[03:31] <chenli> hello, I want to install openstack  kilo version 2015.1.2 on ubuntu 14.04, any one know how to set the source ? The default package is still 2015.1.1
[03:31] <Ben64> it_: look up those switches in the rsync man page and see if that is what you want, and don't paste so many lines in the channel
[03:33] <allen> anybody got the folders color to work in 15.10 werewolf?
[03:36] <Ranieri_> Hey guys.
[03:36] <Ranieri_> I'm missing the JDK on my installation, how should I go about getting it?
[03:37] <allen> whats JDK?
[03:37] <Ranieri_> allen: Java Development ToolKit I think
[03:38] <Ranieri_> I just sudo apt-get'd it
[03:38] <Gerowen> Ranieri_: It's in the repositories, should be able to just do sudo apt-get install default-jdk
[03:38] <Gerowen> Woops, I was a little late, :P
[03:38] <smokeless> Ranieri: apt-get install default-jdk
[03:38] <Ranieri_> Gerowen: Yup :P
[03:38] <Ranieri_> When you get errors like 'unable to locate package xxx'
[03:38] <Ranieri_> xxx exists, It's just my setup that's weird.
[03:39] <Ben64> explain
[03:40] <Ranieri_> Here's my output for sudo apt-get update
[03:40] <Ranieri_> pastebin.com/PMG0D2sT
[03:41] <Ben64> Ranieri_: thats the full output?
[03:42] <Ranieri_> Ben64: No there's a LONG list preceding that, that's the like tail -10
[03:42] <Ben64> need it all
[03:42] <Ranieri_> Iight
[03:43] <Ranieri_> Ben64: Can I sudo apt-get update > file.txt?
[03:43] <Ben64> sudo apt-get update | nc termbin.com 9999
[03:43] <Ranieri_> woah
[03:44] <Ranieri_> Ben64: LMAOOO it worked: termbin.com/o8az
[03:45] <Ranieri_> Duplicate sources.list entry
[03:45] <Ranieri_> That's the prob I think
[03:45] <daftykins> of course it worked
[03:46] <Ben64> Ranieri_: precise repos in there, other weird stuff, clean up your sources
[03:46] <Ranieri_> Ben64: How?
[03:47] <Ranieri_> Can someone send me their sources.list file ;)?
[03:47] <Ben64> remove precise, remove duplicates
[03:47] <Ranieri_> Ben64: Ohhh kk
[03:48] <vergilprime> Hey, I just installed Ubuntu on my home computer for the first time and I am having trouble installing Java Runtime Environment. I downloaded the tar.gz, moved it to /usr/local/java/ and unpackaged it using sudo, but I suspect the fact that I am not signed in as root made the file permissions wrong somehow. Any ideas what to do here?
[03:50] <Ranieri_> vergilprime: use apt-get
[03:50] <Ranieri_> sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre if you need JRE
[03:50] <Ranieri_> sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk if you need JDK
[03:51] <paq7512> I have Wine 1.7.50 but after I do an update and don't get the option to install 1.7.53 anyone know what I could do?
[03:51] <vergilprime> Alright thanks, I'll need both eventually
[03:52] <Ben64> paq7512: depends where you got wine 1.7 from
[03:52] <goddard> when you install CUDA 7.5 manually where is the SDK root?
[03:52] <goddard> trying to set my CUDA_HOME variable
[03:53] <goddard> i already have /usr/local/cuda/
[03:53] <paq7512> Ben64, Ubuntu-Wine PPA
[03:54] <Ben64> paq7512: ppa's aren't supported here, check with the maintainer of that or the site and see if its been updated
[03:54] <paq7512> okay thanks
[03:55] <vergilprime> That didn't work: http://paste.thezomg.com/18667/58317231/
[03:56] <Ben64> vergilprime: what version of linux
[03:56] <somsip> !info openjdk | vergilprime
[03:56] <somsip> !find openjdk | vergilprime
[03:57] <vergilprime> Latest version of ubuntu, I'm not super sure the version number. I'm also not super sure how to figure that out yet :x
[03:58] <vergilprime> 14.04 LTS
[03:58] <somsip> !find openjdk precise | vergilprime (see if 8 is listed on the search results)
[03:59] <somsip> vergilprime: and it's not. So 7 is the highest available on 14.04
[03:59] <vergilprime> Okay, that will do :)
[04:00] <Ben64> somsip: correct, but 14.04 is trusty :)
[04:00] <somsip> Ben64: good point! I never remember the names properly...
[04:00] <Ben64> gonna have problems when it comes to xenial xylophone
[04:01] <somsip> Ben64: 16.04 :)
[04:01] <vergilprime> One other question, I copied all my app data for HexChat before I wiped my hard drive, is there somewhere in Ubuntu I can stick it so I get all servers and such back?
[04:01] <Ben64> vergilprime: i don't use hexchat, but probably going to be in ~/.hexchat or something similar
[04:01] <somsip> vergilprime: http://hexchat.readthedocs.org/en/latest/settings.html
[04:01] <wileee> vergilprime, The config you need is in .config
[04:02] <vergilprime> Hrm okey thanks.
[04:02] <vergilprime> How do I show hidden folders with ls again? :x
[04:02] <somsip> vergilprime: ls -la
[04:03] <vergilprime> Thank you
[04:03] <vergilprime> It's been a few months since I've had anything with Ubuntu on it.
[04:03] <Ranieri_> Dude
[04:03] <Ranieri_> Whoever wanted to install the JDK and JRE, I forget your name.
[04:03] <Ranieri_> Use Ubuntu Software Center
[04:03] <vergilprime> Me? :D
[04:03] <dominic1134> hi there, is there any way to display a message after a package has been installed? tried with postinst but had no success because other dependencies will continue to be configured after the postinst script is executed. thanks
[04:04] <dominic1134> with message i mean something like "Package installed, visit http://localhost:8232 to configure..."
[04:04] <vergilprime> I looked there but I am not quite sure what openjdk is, I assumed it was some dev tool so I overlooked it.
[04:04] <chenli> hello, I want to install openstack  kilo version 2015.1.2 on ubuntu 14.04, any one know how to set the source ? The default package is still 2015.1.1
[04:05] <ddr_mobile> Hi all. Distribution upgrade just bailed on me, and my computer won't run gdm. It says something about starting gnome display manager,  and then traps: gnome-shell trap int3 ip:*addr* sp:*addr* error: 0
[04:05] <ddr_mobile> To be clear, by "bailed" I mean it froze while installing packages.
[04:06] <wileee> ddr_mobile, can you get to recovery?
[04:06] <ddr_mobile> Yes.
[04:07] <wileee> ddr_mobile, There is a fix system there. A cli and rw I would run apt-get -f install as well, but we have no idea where it froze here as of now, or any errors.
[04:08] <ddr_mobile> I ran the repair broken packages option, but it didn't help much. Before I did that, it would boot to tty1.
[04:08] <ddr_mobile> I will try that.
[04:08] <wileee> ddr_mobile, Might try a -f install from a tty, lotta outliers as of now so act accordingly.
[04:09] <Brosh> anyone got any experience of boot-repair corrupting windows boot configs?
[04:10] <wileee> Brosh, That will not get help, give the channel the real issue. ;)
[04:10] <Brosh> OK - It's doomed, all of it is doomed, doomed is an appropriate description for my old Windows installation, doomed be it. Is that better? :'(
[04:11] <wileee> sure, it's possessed, get it exorcised
[04:12] <Brosh> I had an issue whereby Windows didn't appear in grub, so I ran boot repair with the add that windows installation to grub option checked, also had the option to repair windows boot files. Now I still have no option to boot windows, but now when I switch in BIOS to boot from the windows drive, I get some corrupted boot file error
[04:12] <wileee> Brosh, if you saved the bootinfo summary let us see the link.
[04:12] <Brosh> gloriously enough, i bookmarked it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12967776/
[04:13] <Brosh> I'm not sure what that first bit is trying to say, there is only one Windows installation on this machine on sdd (IIRC)
[04:14] <Brosh> the HDD has also shrivelled down by a few GB, which I only just noticed.
[04:14] <wileee> Brosh, Ah a bit messy, boot-repair is the unlikely culprit, hopefully you can get help and are backed up.
[04:15] <Brosh> Sadly didn't bother to back anything up, in my experience it's usually easier just to reformat my machine (most of my shit is, in spite of having 6 HDDs locally, networked).
[04:15] <Brosh> Thanks though, I'll go find my hammer and see if I can't fix it the old fashioned way.
[04:16] <ddr_mobile> wileee: I got an error from the dpkg repair broken packages. http://www.pasteall.org/pic/94552 I don't know what it means, though, do you?
[04:17] <wileee> ddr_mobile, Not in any depth to really help, sorry.
[04:17] <ycon_> Hi all, I"ve created a script in /etc/init/uwsgi.conf. I'm trying to start it (start uwsgi service did not work). Any ideas?
[04:19] <wileee> ddr_mobile, We see bad upgrades in general with users adding 3rd party repos and having a dependency issue. Ubuntu will shutdown the repos on an upgrade, but the packages are still there, this sound familiar, like ppa's?
[04:19] <ddr_mobile> I had a handful installed, yes.
[04:20] <ddr_mobile> Three or four, but I don't remember what they were for.
[04:20] <wileee> ddr_mobile, That may be your clue, just guessing, but a very good guess.
[04:20] <ddr_mobile> I am apt to agree.
[04:21] <ddr_mobile> I just don't know what to do about it.
[04:21] <wileee> ddr_mobile, The repos are in ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ take a look at them and their website for app info you have installed.
[04:23] <wileee> ddr_mobile, I'm a fan of reinstall if repairs take longer for my own OS, but linux is a fixable setup if you wan to spend the time and that is important.
[04:25] <ddr_mobile> Dropbox, steam, yannubuntu (a repair tool from the last time I broke things) and strukturag for codecs I think.

[04:29] <Ranieri_> What's Ubuntu's equivalent to a PATH env variable and how do I modify it?
[04:30] <Brosh> Ranieri_, ~/.profile
[04:30] <Brosh> in fact, might be best just to link this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/60218/how-to-add-a-directory-to-my-path
[04:30] <Ranieri_> Brosh: OMG that makes sense lol
[04:31] <RepThis1> im gonna assume its mnt
[04:31] <Brosh> A lot of things make more sense here than on Windows, but a lot of things are also ridiculously painful to do :(
[04:31] <RepThis1> although automatically it put its in run/media ?
[04:32] <tlwh520> im
[04:32] <ycon_> I'm trying to reverse this command I acciently did as sudo "usermod -a -G www-data username". How can this be odne?
[04:32] <ycon_> *done
[04:32] <Brosh> RepThis1, I don't think there is a "recommended" place, it just depends what you're using the partitions for... Most people will only have the basic partitions on a disk, any more than that are entirely custom and should be treated as such
[04:34] <Brosh> ycon_, you've added a group to a user, so you should be able to just remove it I think... maybe deluser username www-data
[04:34] <RepThis1> Brosh: well i mean you prob woulnt place it in /bin or /etc but maybe /home/x /media/x /mnt/x idk
[04:35] <Brosh> RepThis1, My desktop I didn't bother to mount them anywhere other than the default /media/, where they automatically mounted. My servers are set up such that I have a 1TB constellation drive at /var/music/, one at /var/photos, and a 120GB SSD as the OS drive
[04:35] <highdivr> :-)
[04:35] <RepThis1> not sure about /run which is what the system wants to place it in, but that isnt even listed in the file system hierarchy, and maybe that is done by systemd?
[04:35] <ycon_> Brosh, thx
[04:36] <Brosh> ycon_, any time
[04:37] <Brosh> RepThis1, If you want to use it for storign installed applications, /opt, if you want to use it for storing user data, /home, If you want to use it for anything else, probably /var
[04:38] <Brosh> It might be painful to set up such that it's used in /opt though, so either /home or /var would be most ideal
[04:38] <it_> Ben64 can i copy everything to one file with rsync?
[04:39] <it_> Ben64 like zip or something else?
[04:43] <Brosh> it_, what's the purpose of the it, if you don't mind me asking?
[04:44] <it_> the live session of xubuntu
[04:45] <it_> maybe even ubuntu
[04:46] <dnixer> anyone get spotify to install in ubuntu?
[04:46] <Brosh> it_, are you trying to run the live session while you've got another installed, and sync the two? Or are you just moving from the live session to a solid installation?
[04:47] <Brosh> dnixer, I've had it working in the past, is there any particular issue you're facing?
[04:47] <dnixer> https://www.spotify.com/us/download/linux/  -  does not work - no errors following those instructions, but when opening spotify nothing happens
[04:48] <Brosh> have you tried calling it from terminal? "spotify-client -v" or similar might produce verbose logging?
[04:48] <Brosh> also, keep in mind if you have some debugger running it might not work. They don't like people running debugger and spotify at the same time
[04:48] <it_> not really i am using the live session for copying the /home to usb
[04:49] <it_> and it is the same usb for both
[04:49] <Brosh> it_, ohh, you want some sort of portable installation which syncs with your home installation i guess?
[04:50] <dnixer> thanks running it -v gave me a clue which lead me to https://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-Desktop-Linux-Windows-Web/Ubuntu-15-04-ships-with-libgcrypt20-but-spotify-app-version-is/m-p/1121359/highlight/true#M123644
[04:50] <dnixer> something about the libgcrypt20 incompatiblity
[04:50] <Brosh> it_, I'm at a loss tbh, rsync should "just work", I could understand if it was ignoring all hidden files or something. Perhaps check the permissions of the files and see if something is different about those files
[04:50] <Brosh> dnixer, did you try install libgcrypt11?
[04:50] <it_> no i wheel reinstall xubuntu after copying /home
[04:52] <Brosh> it_, so its just a temporary measure? might be easier just to dump the whole thing in a tarball... tar -zcvf name.tar.gz /path/to/directory
[04:52] <it_> and after the installation of xubuntu restore it back to the place
[04:52] <Brosh> it_, how long did you use the live cd for? I can't imagine you'd have so much stuff that it'd be difficult to specify what to keep
[04:53] <alyyy> hi all, quick question.  I'm running Ubuntu 14.4.3 LTS and have a bluetooth.  It works fine, but every time I connect the speaker, I need to go into Sound Settings and highlight the bluetooth speaker to have control over the volume.  Is there a way to make the bluetooth speaker default somehow?
[04:54] <it_> Brosh i have already xubuntu install on the computer
[04:54] <Brosh> alyyy, are you using unity (default ubuntu desktop environment, with the orange)?
[04:55] <alyyy> Yup, using unity
[04:55] <it_> Brosh i use the usb for reinstall xubuntu only
[04:55] <UniFreak> what's the `read-only` option for in the terminal? when right click?
[04:55] <it_> Brosh and copy before
[04:55] <Brosh> alyyy, I'm actually not sure. I know how to in KDE but the audio manager is very different
[04:56] <it_> Brosh and restore after the installation
[04:56] <Brosh> it_, right, so I guess yeah, might as well just dump it all into a tarball and extract it later
[04:56] <Brosh> UniFreak, which read only option?
[04:56] <samssammerz> Is there a way to install emacs without all of the bloat (like the calendar, vcs, mail reader, games) and just install the text editing functions and the lisp environment?
[04:56] <it_> Brosh how do you mean?
[04:57] <it_> Brosh like zip?
[04:57] <dnixer> Brosh, thanks I fixed it had to just install that file (found it via a website)
[04:57] <alyyy> Brosh, yeah, this is more of a minor nuisance than anything, but it seems odd if I connect a new sound device, it dosn't select it for me so I have to reset the option every time.
[04:57] <alyyy> Brosh, thanks tho :)
[04:58] <Brosh> it_, if you want to go all windowsy, like this: tar -zcvf /path/to/where/you/want/tarball/name.tar.gz /path/to/directory/you/want/to/compress/
[04:58] <Brosh> that'll create a .tar.gz which contains the files you tell it to put in there
[04:58] <it_> Brosh i want to be able to open it in windows also
[04:59] <it_> Brosh the usb has fat 32
[04:59] <Brosh> it_, I think you can open tar.gz in 7zip on windows?
[05:00] <it_> Brosh i want to be able to open it in windows also
[05:00] <it_> Brosh the usb has fat 32
[05:00] <Brosh> it_, maybe just zip /path/to/stuff/to/output/zip.zip /path/to/stuff/to/compress
[05:00] <it_> Brosh double zip
[05:01] <it_> Brosh how do you mean
[05:01] <Brosh> put that
[05:01] <Brosh> into terminal
[05:01] <Brosh> the command
[05:01] <Brosh> zip
[05:01] <Brosh> followed by file to compress to
[05:01] <Brosh> followed by folder to compress
[05:02] <it_> Brosh but i want everything even system files
[05:03] <it_> Brosh a full clone
[05:03] <it_> Brosh but i want everything even system files
[05:03] <it_> Brosh a full clone
[05:05] <Brosh> it_, right... what's the purpose of the whole thing? If you're just going to re-produce it, it doesn't make sense. Are you migrating to another HDD? Copying the installation to another machine?
[05:06] <Brosh> it_, you'd have to manually install a boot loader, and do things which I wouldn't know where to begin with... If you're moving to another machine, use CloneZilla or similar. If you've got a new hard drive, either just clone the partition or again use CloneZilla. If the OS is broken in some way, you really shouldn't be copying the whole thing in the first place, since whatever is broken will be broken on new system too.
[05:06] <it_> Brosh i want to keep all settings
[05:07] <Brosh> it_, yes but why do you want to re-create the OS in the first place?
[05:07] <it_> Brosh no the same machine
[05:08] <Brosh> So let me get things straight here
[05:08] <Brosh> you have an OS, which you can't use for *insert reason here*. You want to clone that OS, keeping all settings, using a LiveCD image to boot from, then copying the entire hard drive partition using rsync?
[05:09] <it_> Brosh no only /home
[05:09] <krsna-> maybe something from /etc
[05:10] <krsna-> like configs
[05:10] <krsna-> for servers
[05:10] <it_> Brosh /home and everything in it like all settings and all files
[05:11] <slimjimflim> hi, i recently updated my ubuntu and now when i try to log in with one of my various x windows managers, i get logged in automatically as 'guest'
[05:11] <krsna-> all settings do not reside in /home
[05:11] <slimjimflim> wtf
[05:11] <slimjimflim> 'guest' shouldn't have permission to log in at all
[05:11] <slimjimflim> this is a security issue
[05:11] <it_> Brosh i want to keep all settings
[05:11] <it_> Brosh no the same machine
[05:11] <slimjimflim> more so, i can't log in with my usual user name
[05:11] <it_> Brosh no only /home
[05:11] <alyyy> slimjimflim, are you sure it's actually guest?  what happens when you open a terminal and run "whoami"
[05:11] <it_> Brosh /home and everything in it like all settings and all files
[05:12] <slimjimflim> alyyy: yes, i'm sure
[05:12] <slimjimflim> alyyy: `whoami` returns "guest"
[05:12] <krsna-> it_: *all* settings arent in /home
[05:12] <slimjimflim> this is a major problem. has anyone else had the same issue?
[05:12] <alyyy> slimjimflim, is your user account still in /etc/passwd?
[05:13] <slimjimflim> i almost never come into this chat, but this is serious
[05:13] <krsna-> slimjimflim: stop trolling
[05:13] <it_> Brosh i know the one they are
[05:13] <it_> Brosh the profile
[05:13] <slimjimflim> alyyy: yes
[05:13] <slimjimflim> krsna-: i'm not trolling
[05:14] <slimjimflim> i'm 99% sure this is because of an update to ubuntu released within the last 24 hours
[05:14] <slimjimflim> i could be wrong
[05:14] <krsna-> slimjimflim: put /bin/false in passwd
[05:14] <krsna-> /etc/passwd
[05:14] <krsna-> as shell
[05:15] <krsna-> then login is disabled
[05:15] <slimjimflim> krsna-: what do you mean by 'put'?
[05:15] <it_> Brosh i want to keep all settings
[05:16] <it_> Brosh no the same machine
[05:16] <it_> Brosh no only /home
[05:16] <it_> Brosh /home and everything in it like all settings and all files
[05:17] <krsna-> slimjimflim: edit with your favorite txt editor
[05:17] <krsna-> i prefer vim
[05:17] <krsna-> echo $editor
[05:23] <delt> Hello
[05:23] <delt> i'm developing a card game, and i'm trying to support card themes used by aisleriot. (aka "sol")
[05:23] <delt> in ubuntu/mint, aisleriot comes only with one default card theme, which kind of sucks by its own....
[05:24] <delt> but, aisleriot has the option to fetch more card themes from the internet. In ubuntu/linux mint, again this option does not work:
[05:24] <delt> "Catalog could not be read"
[05:24] <delt> "The catalog file '/usr/share/aisleriot/aisleriot.catalog' doesn't exist."
[05:25] <Kivi> I'm trying to install ubuntu on this acer aspire, and the only way to get it to boot from the usb was to disconnect the hdd when booting. I plugged it back in, and now I want to get ubuntu live usb to detect it. How can I do this?
[05:26] <asdffff> without breaking it?
[05:27] <Kivi> hmmm?
[05:28] <asdffff> it doesnt detect the hdd when running ubuntu off the usb stick?
[05:28] <alyyy> Kivi, do you have your bios settings to boot from USB before booting from HD?
[05:29] <Kivi> alyyy, its an acer... it won't let me access bios. Seriously; don't buy acer aspires.
[05:29] <asdffff> not unless you need too?
[05:29] <alyyy> Kivi, uhg that's so awful haha
[05:29] <Kivi> alyyy, it is. I'm installing ubuntu for a friend. Old feller.
[05:29] <Kivi> alyyy, anyway, i'm booted in the live usb, so that hurdle is over
[05:30] <Kivi> alyyy, now I just need to find out how to detect the hdd; I reconnected it after I turned on the computer.
[05:30] <asdffff> some of the ubuntu iso files are corrupted...
[05:30] <asdffff> so they wouldnt install...might be the problem.
[05:31] <beepie> asdffff, your name is corrupted
[05:31] <asdffff> be a bit more clear beepie...
[05:31] <alyyy> Kivi, right.  I'm not sure, I would imagine it only detects HD at boot.  So you would need to figure out how to "refresh" that maybe?  This sounds stupid but can you connect the HD really really quick after the USB kicks in?  I did it fairly quick... not there, and not showing up.
[05:33] <Kivi> I think i'll try installing ubuntu to my usb disk :P see if that turns of the stupid bios settings set up by acer windows recovery
[05:34] <asdffff> hdd might be disabled in bios?
[05:34] <alyyy> well he can't get to the bios
[05:34] <asdffff> might be a burnt hd?
[05:34] <asdffff> f2  f12?
[05:34] <Kivi> don't buy acer, ever.
[05:35] <slimjimflim> krsna-: so you're saying if i add a line to the end of /etc/passwd with the text, "/bin/false" it will be impossible for the user "guest" to automatically login, right?
[05:35] <asdffff> acer are like the disposables of all pc's?
[05:35] <asdffff> maybe acers are waterrproof....
[05:36] <alyyy> slimjimflim, yeah that dosn't sound like it would work, /etc/passwd isn't a bash script or anything.
[05:36] <slimjimflim> i'm more concerned that an ubuntu update added a user without prompting me
[05:36] <asdffff> though if you seriously need some tech help from me, you can just pm me.
[05:36] <slimjimflim> alyyy: yea, that sounded wrong
[05:36] <krsna-> slimjimflim: change bin/bash to bin/false
[05:36] <asdffff> im starting to think this is just a waste of time.
[05:36] <asdffff> paranoia.....
[05:37] <slimjimflim> krsna-: in /etc/passwd?
[05:37] <slimjimflim> krsna-: will that affect other users?
[05:37] <krsna-> slimjimflim: no
[05:37] <alyyy> asdffff: that's just the shell that starts after you login though
[05:37] <alyyy> so you would have to login first
[05:37] <slimjimflim> alyyy: right
[05:37] <beepie> asdffff, you're right. it is waste of time.
[05:37] <Kivi> asdffff, nah, thinkpads are waterproof. My dad spillt water on his acer, and was about to buy another one until I pointed out that thinkpads are water proof.
[05:38] <krsna-> user cannot login if thevlogin shell is disabled. ffs
[05:38] <slimjimflim> krsna-: i have an entry for 'guest' in my /etc/passwd
[05:38] <slimjimflim> with '/bin/bash/' in the same line
[05:39] <slimjimflim> is that the line you're saying i should change?
[05:39] <slimjimflim> *are you saying i should change that line?
[05:39] <beepie> chsh
[05:39] <beepie> ^
[05:39] <slimjimflim> how did that line get into my /etc/passwd in the first place?
[05:39] <krsna-> chnage /bin/bash to /bin/false
[05:39] <slimjimflim> krsna-: i see what you're saying now, but how did that line ever get into my /etc/passwd??
[05:39] <alyyy> slimjimflim, careful if that's the only account you can login to though, you mentioned you couldn't login to your main one
[05:40] <krsna-> slimjimflim: i think guest is default in desktop installations
[05:40] <slimjimflim> alyyy: no, i can login with other accounts.  i'm logged in now with my normal account on another tty
[05:40] <slimjimflim> it seems to be only an issue with x windows
[05:40] <krsna-> slimjimflim: also check /etc/group
[05:41] <slimjimflim> for what
[05:41] <krsna-> slimjimflim: that your primary user(s) is in correct groups
[05:41] <slimjimflim> right
[05:41] <krsna-> that u use for desktop
[05:42] <beepie> krsna-, "you"
[05:42] <slimjimflim> lol
[05:42] <slimjimflim> pedantics
[05:42]  * beepie thinks it's more clear to use "you" instead of "u"
[05:42] <slimjimflim> agreed
[05:43] <alyyy> lol
[05:43] <krsna-> beepie: u think :)
[05:43] <bratac> Hi, i formatted my hard disk to make a clean install and I forget to backup some documents. Can I recover it?
[05:43] <slimjimflim> ok i'll try that all now, krsna- hopefully i won't lock myself out of this box forever :P
[05:43] <penos> no u cant
[05:44] <bratac> thans for your sicerity penos
[05:44] <penos> np
[05:44] <alyyy> bratac, how did you format it?
[05:44] <krsna-> theoritically speaking possible
[05:44] <bratac> i had elementaryos and i installed last ubuntu from usb
[05:45] <krsna-> u need to write 20 times to sector to be sure no files are recorable
[05:45] <krsna-> if dealin with the feds
[05:45] <bratac> that's some way to recover it?
[05:45] <alyyy> bratac, most likely not then, sorry :( file recovery is usually more possible if you just erase a file. if you install a new os it probably overwritten, if not cleared all the data that was on there
[05:46] <bratac> thanks for your answer alyyy
[05:46] <alyyy> bratac, you can try some recovery software, but I've never been able to recover anything that's been formatted before
[05:46] <slimjimflim> krsna-: alyyy error was between monitor and keyboard ;) i clicked the wrong button on the login screen
[05:47] <bratac> i tryed testdisk, but i wasn't capable to recover anything
[05:47] <slimjimflim> sorry for any confusion. i assume 'guest' has been a username for a long time.
[05:47] <alyyy> slimjimflim, aha, funny.  it happens :) glad it's figured out!
[05:48] <beepie> bratac, next time try virtualbox
[05:48] <beepie> bratac, if installing anything native, it is your fault if you do not do a backup. #1 rule.
[05:49]  * beepie thinks new users should stop thinking like Windows ones.
[05:49] <beepie> ha!
[05:49] <bratac> i know beepie. In fact i backed up all except one folder
[05:49] <alyyy> yeah it happens sometimes
[05:50] <beepie> not me
[05:50] <bratac> next time i'll like beepie
[05:50] <beepie> cuse you know i know. I backup my **(&(&(
[05:50] <bratac> and i'll backup all files
[05:50] <beepie> it's basically
[05:50] <alyyy> bratac, I recommend making a clonezilla USB stick and making an imagine of your hard drive. that way you can restore it if anything goes wrong or you forget to backup something.
[05:51] <beepie>  /var /etc, /home ... for the (most part 99%).. if you've got third parties, sometimes they may end up in /usr/local
[05:51] <sonu> hello
[05:51] <bratac> thanks alyyy
[05:52] <beepie> (/opt seems to be common for apps like google chrome, this might be something else worth considering for backup depending on use case)
[05:52] <sonu> I was using selenium for testing.
[05:52] <alyyy> bratac, no probs! :)
[05:52] <sonu> I got to know about the developer edition
[05:52] <sonu> so i installed that
[05:52] <bratac> :D
[05:53] <sonu> then i realised that those 2 are completely different elements
[05:53] <sonu> now when i try to uninstall, it doesn't
[05:54] <sonu> even if i uninstall firefox and the reinstall, its the developer edition that comes back
[05:54] <bratac> thankks for your help
[05:54] <bratac> bye
[05:55] <sonu> how can i get rid of it/?
[05:55] <grex> @sonu, make sure you apt source to developer edition is gone too
[05:56] <delt> i just tried to access the help in aisleriot and it took down my X. goodie.
[05:56] <sonu> i'm new to ubuntu as well!
[05:57] <sonu> @grex, how do i do that?
[05:58] <sonu> instruct me, i will follow
[05:59] <grex> @sonu, "Software & Update" > "Other Software"
[05:59] <grex> look for any dubious entry, remove/uncheck them
[06:08] <VergilPrime> So my laptop is pretty old from around 2007, it was one of the early ones to have dual graphics processors. I have an AMD chipset, but it looks like only the Intel is being used. Any idea how to enable my AMD gpu?
[06:08] <VergilPrime> Dual gpus as in Intel integrated graphics and also a dedicated AMD chipset.
[06:11] <Alias_handle> hi
[06:11] <beepie> hi
[06:11] <beepie> i
[06:11] <beepie> ihihih
[06:11] <Laibsch> anybody here familiar with union filesystems (not necessarily unionfs)?  I'm curious if there is a union filesystem that will continue to function well if the lower filesystem goes away (let's say a USB stick being pulled)
[06:11] <Alias_handle> is there a simple procedure to set up iptables?
[06:12] <quantic> Alias_handle: ufw
[06:12] <beepie> Laibsch, well there's advanced mount options that seemingly do a bit of union-like options
[06:12] <VergilPrime> Um be really careful Alias_handle
[06:12] <beepie> Alias_handle, yeah
[06:12] <VergilPrime> I made a huge mistake and it locked me out of my server :x
[06:12] <Laibsch> beepie: advanced mount options to what FS?
[06:12] <quantic> Alias_handle: Heed the warnings. Goof up iptables and you'll be locked out of your own stuff.
[06:12] <beepie> Alias_handle, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo
[06:13] <quantic> Alias_handle: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW
[06:13] <VergilPrime> To be fair, I got my commands right, but UFW overwrote my changes.
[06:13] <Alias_handle> well ive got apache2 running and want to dmz my router but scared without some security is sorted
[06:13] <VergilPrime> Or at least thats what I think happened.
[06:13] <beepie> Alias_handle, for basic desktop you just need one rule that is RELATED,ESTABLISHED for INPUT ... you can set the default policy to DROP for INPUT but keep the default ACCEPT for OUTPUT
[06:13] <Alias_handle> alright ill check the links
[06:13] <quantic> Alias_handle: dmz what and why? Without a GOOD reason, DMZ anything is a terrible idea.
[06:13] <beepie> Alias_handle, that's pretty much it actually -- and that is for workstations..
[06:13] <Alias_handle> for my website
[06:14] <beepie> Alias_handle, oh well then !!! lol you gotta learn iptables properly!!
[06:14] <quantic> Alias_handle: returning to that question, why are you DMZing something for a service that requires one (maybe two) open ports?
[06:14] <beepie> Laibsch, if you see the manpage to mount, there's advanced options
[06:15] <Alias_handle> i dno i thought it opened my computer up to the internet, does that mean all my ports become open ?
[06:15] <VergilPrime> Yeah just port foreward man :P and open up the ports you want people to connect to.
[06:15] <quantic> Alias_handle: what do you think "opened my computer up to the internet" means?
[06:16] <quantic> Alias_handle: forward port 80 to your webserver and be done with it.
[06:16] <Alias_handle> alright sound
[06:16] <VergilPrime> Is 80 open be default in iptables?
[06:17] <quantic> Nothing is opened by default in iptables. :P
[06:17] <VergilPrime> I thought so
[06:17] <Ben64> everything is open by default...
[06:17] <quantic> At least, when the input chain is properly configured to default drop.
[06:17] <quantic> Without ANY configuration at all, everything is wide open.
[06:17] <quantic> And that's about the only safety net you get.
[06:18] <VergilPrime> so Alias_handle you will need to open port 80 in iptables, and you will have to foreward incoming connections on port 90 in your router to whatever your webservers local IP address is
[06:18] <Alias_handle> what?
[06:18] <Alias_handle> okay but what was quantic saying about iptables being totally open by default?
[06:19] <Ben64> don't bother with iptables, just use your router to forward the port(s)
[06:19] <Alias_handle> right
[06:19] <Ben64> or even better, get an actual server to host the website, or make sure your ISP allows you to host a site on the connection
[06:20] <quantic> ^
[06:20] <Alias_handle> so i dont need to play with iptables?
[06:20] <Ben64> nope, your router acts as a firewall
[06:20] <Ben64> unless you use DMZ of course
[06:20] <quantic> depending on your ISP (mine, for example) port 80 is flat blocked from the outside so that you can't host websites.
[06:20] <Alias_handle> im just playing, i dont intend to run this as a server im just experimenting
[06:20] <Laibsch> beepie: Yes, there are many. I was thinking you might narrow it down what you are referring to.  As you know, "man mount" doesn't talk about union FS at all.
[06:21] <beepie> i recall reading this on wikipedia, unionfs is rather aged, maybe there's aufs that does the job better -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UnionFS
[06:21] <Alias_handle> okay port forward 80 and leave iptables alone?
[06:23] <Ben64> Alias_handle: yep thats the easiest and best way to do it
[06:23] <Laibsch>  beepie: rest assured I read up at least a certain amount, including wikipedia.  I have a very specific question that won't be answered by "just google", "read wikipedia article on UnionFS" etc.  It's still unclear to me what advanced mount options you were referring to that might be relevant here.
[06:25] <Laibsch> FWIW, I cannot find "advanced mount options" in "man mount", nothing really related to "advanced" at all there
[06:25] <beepie> Laibsch, the bottom of the man main section for mount.. those options
[06:25] <beepie> (shared subtree operations)
[06:25] <beepie> maybe that might help to what you're trying to accomplish
[06:26] <Laibsch> the word subtree is not present in "man mount"
[06:27] <Laibsch> "man 8 mount"
[06:27] <Laibsch> that is what I mean by being specific
[06:28] <Laibsch> That sounds indeed interesting
[06:28] <Laibsch> Thank you
[06:28] <beepie> there so you found the manpage..
[06:28] <beepie> :)
[06:28] <VergilPrime> Is there a way to add a folder to my "places" menu in my file browser?
[06:28] <beepie> hurrah.
[06:30] <VergilPrime> Are my questions just not Linuxy enough for you all? D:
[06:31] <Crysp_> try dragging the folder
[06:32] <VergilPrime> I did that. I also noted that I can -remove- a folder from the list, so I assume I can add a folder.
[06:34] <Crysp_> If it doesnt work, try another file navigator. There are plenty other good ones.
[06:34] <VergilPrime> The default file browser isn't the best one? :<
[06:35] <alyyy> VergilPrime, I don't think there's a best, it's just preference.  I don't think you can add your own folders under places, you can under bookmarks though
[06:36] <alyyy> although I would think there's a config file you could modify in a text file to add folders if you really wanted
[06:36] <VergilPrime> Okay. I'm trying not to start replacing default apps until I am a little more comfortable with the OS.
[06:39] <alyyy> VergilPrime, yeah that's probably a good plan.  it's totally fine for most things.
[06:39] <wileee> VergilPrime, Be aware we support only what is in the main repos here, if you go 3rd party you're on your own. ;)
[06:40] <Laibsch> beepie: unfortunately, shared subtree is something else
[06:40] <VergilPrime> wileee I don't even know what that really means, I assume whatever I can get from the software updater :P
[06:41] <wileee> !ppa | VergilPrime here is an example
[06:42] <wileee> VergilPrime, I'm just giving you info about support here so you don't paint yourself into a corner and ask for help here. ;)
[06:43] <VergilPrime> Thanks, I'm sure I'll end up making a fool of myself anyways, but I appreciate the gesture.
[06:43] <wileee> heh we all do, enjoy
[06:44] <noob> ajarin main irc dong
[06:44] <lotuspsychje> noob: can we help you?
[06:45] <VergilPrime> For instance a few hours ago I mixed up "rm -rf ./" and "rm -rf ~/"
[06:45] <VergilPrime> So that was exciting.
[06:46] <alyyy> haha, good stuff
[06:46] <noob> how to playing this ?
[06:47] <noob> uname -a
[06:49] <lotuspsychje> !terminal | noob here
[06:51] <alyyy> night guys
[06:52] <beepie> gn
[07:05] <nameuser_> An ORM method can return a view, but can i return a redirection to an external URL?
[07:06] <absklb> hi
[07:07] <absklb> how can i troubleshoot no sound in headphone.
[07:07] <absklb> 15.04
[07:08] <curiousx> absklb: do you have two audio cards ?
[07:09] <absklb> no idea. but no sountd in speakker and headphone. i tried ubuntu wiki which says to delete some pulseaudio files etc. but that does not help. curiousx
[07:10] <curiousx> absklb: paste: lspci grep -i audio
[07:12] <Mcl0vin> Hi, i have used ffmpeg to join a video & audio together, but I am having issue syncing audio. is this something i get help with here or do i need to go to another channel?
[07:12] <absklb> curiousx: 00:01.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Kabini HDMI/DP Audio
[07:12] <absklb> 00:14.2 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] FCH Azalia Controller (rev 02)y
[07:12] <absklb> Mcl0vin: ##ffmpeg
[07:13] <absklb> Mcl0vin: or maybe single #
[07:14] <curiousx> so i you try one of the from the sound setting nothing happend absklb ? no sound ?
[07:16] <curiousx> absklb: what says alsamixer ? is the volume low ? notice that you can chose sound card pressing F6 in alsamixer
[07:17] <absklb> curiousx: all volumes  high in alsamixer. yes selected correct card in F6.
[07:17] <absklb> curiousx: how can i know if this is really a hardware failure?
[07:18] <curiousx> tryin' another OSs, like see if works in windows
[07:19] <absklb> right. will do that. thanks.
[07:19] <curiousx> that's the easiest way that came to my mind, but, paste dmesg
[07:19] <curiousx> dmesg will tell if you have a hardware failure too
[07:19] <absklb> yeah.
[07:19] <absklb> which lines to look for in dmesg?
[07:19] <Mcl0vin> thank you absklb. it is actually one # :)
[07:20] <curiousx> absklb: if there is an error, it will be colored in red (default)
[07:20] <absklb> ok
[07:21] <absklb> curiousx: please check https://gist.github.com/anonymous/ec87895407292a9dd107
[07:23] <curiousx> there is a script aswell that gives exautive details about you sound system, but i use that long time ago idk if still workin' maybe i could find it and try idk -.-
[07:23] <absklb> where is that script?
[07:26] <curiousx> absklb: this doesn't look good: speaker_outs=0 (0x0/0x0/0x0/0x0/0x0)  i put that on "startpage" and sent me to a askubuntu thread :p
[07:26] <curiousx> absklb: wich ubuntu version are you running ?
[07:27] <absklb> curiousx: 15.04. what is startpage?
[07:27] <absklb> oh search engine.
[07:28] <curiousx> startpage is a search engine: https://startpage.com
[07:29] <absklb> yeah
[07:30] <curiousx> absklb: try this: sudo apt-get remove --purge alsa-base pulseaudio ; sudo apt-get install alsa-base pulseaudio ; sudo alsa force-reload
[07:30] <jampa> hu
[07:30] <jampa> hi
[07:30] <jampa> okey
[07:31] <absklb> curiousx: ok
[07:31] <absklb> jampa: hi
[07:31] <jampa> ??
[07:31] <jampa> oh
[07:33] <curiousx> absklb: try if you can hear something
[07:35] <curiousx> absklb: i'm searhing you are not the onlyone havein' issues with that sound card
[07:37] <absklb> yeah. that above commands does not help.
[07:38] <artois> help with what
[07:38] <curiousx> absklb: you could try the privative driver from amd -.-
[07:39] <absklb> ok
[07:39] <curiousx> absklb: since you are in 15.04 there is no problem with amd drivers, go to additional driver, install it from there
[07:40] <absklb> ok
[07:41] <curiousx> absklb: or you could upgrade to 15.10 to see if upgrading fix the problem, but in 15.10 you cannot use privative drivers from amd atm
[07:41] <jgcampbell300> can anyone tell me what im doing wrong here ... I get Read only from 10 and 2 /mnt/files1 <IP_ADDRESS>(rw) <IP_ADDRESS>(rw) <IP_ADDRESS>/24(ro)

[07:45] <pozq>  Voulez-vous que le processus d'installation essaye de démonter les partitions sur ce disque avant de continuer ? Si vous les laissez montées, vous ne pourrez pas créer, supprimer ni redimensionner de partitions sur ce disque, mais vous pourrez peut-être installer le système sur les partitions existantes.

[07:45] <pozq> il ne se passe plus rien après
[07:45] <DJones> !fr | pozq
[07:46] <sikio> what's the point of short term support versions, ie. XX.10?
[07:47] <DJones> sikio: Generally so that people can have newer versions of software, LTS releases don't generally get updated software - just security releases
[07:48] <sikio> alright
[07:52] <pozq> so I didn't see that I was on english channel
[07:52] <pozq> I have a problem with ubuntu 15.10 install

[08:01] <blackfighter> tinni
[08:01] <VergilPrime> Nother silly quesion. Is there a way I can make my .sh scripts run when I double click them instead of opening up a text editor?
[08:01] <portablejim_mac> I'm having a very weird problem, that may be due to btrfs. I can't touch a file due to no space on the device, but every tool I try says there's plenty of space.

[08:04] <iBurley> Hey guys, anybody have a decent knowledge level on Juju Charms?
[08:05] <agent_white> !ask | iBurley
[08:05] <iBurley> Fair enough.
[08:05] <portablejim_mac> Here is my log http://paste.ubuntu.com/12968469/ , Why is my system full, how can I find what is taking up space and fix it?
[08:05] <VergilPrime> erm.... open with run software artois?
[08:07] <artois> VergilPrime: you could open it with a terminal if you wanted, sure
[08:07] <iBurley> I have an idea for livestreamers, where I could make a turnkey solution to dual-PC streaming without the headache. The plan would be to make a Juju Charm that would basically spin up an RTMP server with NGINX. Then the primary PC would run a capture utility, send the data to the second machine over the network, and the second PC (with the Juju setup) would encode using ffmpeg and then use the RTMP/NGINX setup to upload the stream to Twitch. Is
[08:07] <iBurley> that possible?
[08:07] <iBurley> Yeah...One line wasn't really an option, I was asking to ask a question to hopefully break off into a private chat.
[08:08] <VergilPrime> I can't find terminal in the list. I tried "run software" and it seems to have made nothing happen. I hope it's not running in the background now :x
[08:08] <artois> iBurley: everything is possible in software
[08:09] <iBurley> artois, right, but is a Juju Charm the right method for said software?
[08:09] <iBurley> Can they do that?
[08:09] <artois> VergilPrime: http://askubuntu.com/questions/138908/how-to-execute-a-script-just-by-double-clicking-like-exe-files-in-windows
[08:09] <artois> via: https://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu%20double%20click%20shell%20scripts
[08:10] <jneal> hey guys can i get some assistance?
[08:12] <artois> probably
[08:12] <agent_white> !ask | jneal
[08:14] <jneal> Im on a Dual booted Macbook Pro 2010.  The driver needed for the wireless card is BCM4322,  on start up my macbook pro has no wireless.  However, If i close the lid, let the laptop go into hibernate, and reopen the lid I am connected to my home network.  It seems something is prohibiting my driver from working on start up.  any ideas?
[08:15] <VergilPrime> artois, I had found that page too but there's a bunch of answers and none of them appear to be working
[08:16] <iBurley> jneal, does some sort of software run for the driver?
[08:17] <jneal> iBurley, not that im aware of.  Im new to linux.
[08:17] <jneal> iBurleym is there a way for me to find that information for you via cmd?
[08:18] <VergilPrime> I might have it
[08:18] <iBurley> jneal, I'm honestly not sure, I was hoping there would just be some window open for a proprietary network manager that was obvious. Then you could just add that program to your startup applications.
[08:18] <artois> VergilPrime: appear... by having not tried any at all? =)
[08:19] <jeffrey_f> unignore help
[08:19] <iBurley> jneal, never heard of such an issue though, hopefully somebody else knows. I was just popping in for advice myseld.
[08:20] <RepThis1> I had an intrusion where it looks like they came in and gcc compiled something then linked it to the /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/security . And i think overwrote or removed something in this directory. Any suggestions or material on how to fix this?
[08:20] <hateball> Restore the machine from backup
[08:20] <bekks> RepThis1: BAckup and completely reinstall your system.
[08:21] <RepThis1> not sure if i have to somehow recompile that missing file and replace the malicious one, or if i can can it from the repositories? backups and reinstalls will never be an option.
[08:21] <bekks> Restoring from backup may lead to restoring an earlier state of the intrusion, so reinstall.
[08:21] <RepThis1> i can see the malicious code, its just i have no idea how to fix it haha.
[08:22] <jneal> any ideas for my driver issue fellas?
[08:22] <bekks> RepThis1: Backups and reinstalls are the ONLY option for infected/intruded machines.
[08:22] <VergilPrime> I have tried a few things but I have no idea what nautilus is, dconf-editor doesn't appear on my system, I can't find any noexec flag in /ect/fstab
[08:23] <wileee> VergilPrime, nautilus is your home, dconf has to be installed
[08:23] <VergilPrime> Nothing comes up when I enter dconf-editor into my search button.
[08:23] <VergilPrime> Is the search button Nautilus?
[08:24] <auronandace> VergilPrime: nautilus is the file manager
[08:24] <wileee> what search button VergilPrime many in the OS
[08:24] <RepThis1> are there any irc channels i can join to have someone evaluate a small piece of code from a pam module, i have a history of the commands ran.
[08:24] <Ben64> RepThis1: format and reinstall
[08:25] <auronandace> VergilPrime: if you are running unity (default in ubuntu) then the search in the top left is called the dash
[08:25] <RepThis1> not an option, at all. if its unsovlabe then its a question of mitigation.
[08:25] <jneal> Im on a Dual booted Macbook Pro 2010.  The driver needed for the wireless card is BCM4322,  on start up my macbook pro has no wireless.  However, If i close the lid, let the laptop go into hibernate, and reopen the lid I am connected to my home network.  It seems something is prohibiting my driver from working on start up.  any ideas?
[08:25] <bekks> RepThis1: It is your ONLY option.
[08:25] <Ben64> RepThis1: its the only option
[08:25] <VergilPrime> Okay cool. So dconf-editor doesn't seem to be in my dash.
[08:25] <RepThis1> lol no
[08:25] <bekks> RepThis1: If you know better: fix it.
[08:26] <Ben64> lol yes. you can't trust anything on the system anymore
[08:26] <RepThis1> Ben64:  thats not a problem
[08:26] <agent_white> RepThis1: When a system of yours has been compromised... burn it down, and rebuild. Not doing so is ill-advised.
[08:26] <Ben64> ok then ignore it
[08:26] <wileee> VergilPrime, dconf-editor needs to be installed look in the ubuntu software center
[08:26] <RepThis1> agent_white: its not some production server its for learning purposes.
[08:27] <Ben64> in the future, if you don't want support don't join a support channel
[08:27] <agent_white> RepThis1: Ah. Well, for learning purposes, in reality, you'd burn it, and recreate ;)
[08:27] <Ben64> learn how to do things the right way
[08:27] <agent_white> ^
[08:27] <RepThis1> agent_white: i need to understand this attack vector.
[08:27] <Ben64> no no its ok officer, i'm driving drunk as a test
[08:27] <bekks> RepThis1: lesson one: burn it down, lesson two: rebuild it.
[08:27] <VergilPrime> It's not in installed software but I can install it.
[08:28] <agent_white> RepThis1: Do you believe that to be the only compromised piece of software?
[08:28] <agent_white> RepThis1: Finding its 'attack vector' wouldn't be to immediately fix it. But find why it targeted that.
[08:28] <wileee> VergilPrime, yeah, you're learning, keep going. ;)
[08:29] <RepThis1> agent_white: i think its the most critical one so far, the logs have been removed at some point however they did not remove the viminfo and nano logs so id say this is prob the biggest problem.
[08:29] <farciarz84> hi, does anyone know how the /etc/exports line should look like if I want to expose nfs space with RWX permissions for ALL users?
[08:30] <agent_white> RepThis1: http://serverfault.com/questions/218005/how-do-i-deal-with-a-compromised-server -- read this.
[08:30] <farciarz84> currently /mnt/media *(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) doesn't work, except for root in the client.
[08:30] <agent_white> RepThis1: Just keep in mind... that system, if truely compromised, is no longer 'fixable'. It has been compromised. It is not yours. Find out how. Then burn it. :)
[08:31] <bekks> RepThis1: neither nano nor vim write logs. In best case, the have a backup of the untampered filed. But no logs.
[08:31] <RepThis1> agent_white: there obession is with pam it seems, cause two other files in /etc/pam.d/ have been configured with a line of code
[08:31] <agent_white> RepThis1: http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/7443/how-do-you-know-your-server-has-been-compromised
[08:31] <RepThis1> bekks: what are you talking about, it tells me which files they edited and at what line.
[08:31] <VergilPrime> Uh oh.
[08:31] <agent_white> RepThis1: That might not be obsession, but one of many things.
[08:32] <RepThis1> agent_white: their focus is only a few attacks not a massive amount.
[08:32] <RepThis1> agent_white: at the most.
[08:32] <Ben64> RepThis1: or thats what they want you to see
[08:32] <agent_white> RepThis1: What he means is... not everything keeps logs. And things that do, won't tell you what else to check. For instance, does PAM show you if a DB has been queried?
[08:32] <VergilPrime> !/bin/bash not found. did I break something again?
[08:32] <RepThis1> Ben64: those are the rules.
[08:32] <Ben64> you really need to format and reinstall, there is no other way
[08:33] <agent_white> Ben64: It sounds like it's for learning... I'm assuming he'll wipe this one anyways.
[08:33] <agent_white> Well, I would hope, at least.
[08:33] <Ben64> it doesn't matter if its for learning, its pointless to try to fix it
[08:34] <Ben64> learn that you can't fix a compromised system
[08:34] <agent_white> Of course. But for learning, the purpose would be to find out how.
[08:34] <agent_white> (Though, I know, he's trying to fix it... which is not a good idea.)
[08:34] <Ben64> finding out how is always good, but i see him trying to fix it
[08:34] <VergilPrime> Potentially how to stop it from happening again.
[08:34] <agent_white> Find out how. Then burn it.
[08:35] <agent_white> Ben64: Yeah me too...
[08:35] <agent_white> RepThis1: Do you understand what many have been saying here?
[08:35] <Ben64> most likely - weak root password
[08:35] <RepThis1> agent_white: yes its pretty obvious, but this is different.
[08:36] <agent_white> RepThis1: Just... don't rely on PAM.
[08:36] <agent_white> And. Don't try to fix.
[08:36] <RepThis1> agent_white: is that even an option?
[08:37] <agent_white> RepThis1: To fix?... Nope. As we've been saying since you've asked.
[08:42] <nunna> Hi, I need help?
[08:42] <cfhowlett> !ask | nunna
[08:43] <nunna> Sorry.. :) Okay, I got the problem with my Ubuntu dekstop..
[08:44] <RepThis1> oh wow, i thought this pam thing would be more complex. Before when i tried to remove the stuff it would lock me out of root but i guess changing the password first was required.
[08:45] <nunna> Everytime I played music, the cpu take so much cpu resources..
[08:45] <VergilPrime> Rep
[08:45] <VergilPrime> Don't type any passwords into your compromised system unless they are throwaway passwords RepThis1
[08:45] <hateball> nunna: What application are you using, and what sort of file?
[08:45] <RepThis1> there was still another odd behavior where after changing the password you could still use the old one but now that seems to have relapsed.
[08:46] <nunna> I am on Ubuntu 15.10, fresh install, Clementine..
[08:49] <VergilPrime> What's it mean when Ubuntu Software Center turns grey 2/3 through installing Wine?
[08:49] <Seveas> that the wine has gone sour
[08:50] <Seveas> but more likely that it's taking a while to process the wine package and that the software center will un-gray again in a bit
[08:50] <VergilPrime> Is grey like (not responding) in windows?
[08:51] <VergilPrime> Okay so it's not necessarily failed yet just taking it's time.
[08:56] <lonix> How do you guys create a new user with ssh keys
[08:56] <lonix> ?
[08:56] <lonix> Anyone made a script or something. or just manual ?
[08:58] <korg> hi everyone:)
[08:58] <korg> anybody here?
[08:59] <korg> i'm bored(
[08:59] <korg> hi
[09:00] <twocarlo> just ask :korg
[09:04] <RepThis1> damn, debsums is legit. why doesnt ubuntu have a handbook like debian does, fml.
[09:06] <agent_white> lonix: Each process needs to be done separately... so yeah, you could make a script if you want.
[09:07] <lonix> if there is not a defacto script everyone is useing ill just make my own then :)
[09:07] <agent_white> lonix: There is no de-facto script. :) So yeah, good idea to make one.

[09:45] <AlexPortable> When will Ubuntu implement multitouch touchpad gestures?
[09:45] <cfhowlett> "when it's done ..."
[09:46] <AlexPortable> Then why does everyone says ubuntu is a replacement for windows?
[09:47] <cfhowlett> AlexPortable, you should ask "everyone" that question.  for specific ubuntu support, ask here.  for non-technical ubuntu support, ask #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:48] <curiousx> AlexPortable: gnome-shell has advanced on that, idk how good is at gestures, but i saw a video presentation that said something related to touch gestures
[09:49] <Lihis> Does anyone know is it possible to mount a specific Google Drive folder under ubuntu?
[09:49] <cfhowlett> Lihis, https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;_ylt=A0LEVvgk9y1W3QgA5GsnnIlQ;_ylc=X1MDMTM1MTE5NTY4NwRfcgMyBGZyA3locy1tb3ppbGxhLTAwMQRncHJpZANSV2NpOFlKZFRyNmt2SjVLSTFtS3FBBG5fcnNsdAMwBG5fc3VnZwMxBG9yaWdpbgNzZWFyY2gueWFob28uY29tBHBvcwMwBHBxc3RyAwRwcXN0cmwDBHFzdHJsAzI1BHF1ZXJ5A2dvb2dsZSBkcml2ZSB1YnVudHUgbW91bnQEdF9zdG1wAzE0NDU4NTI5NzA-?p=google+drive+ubuntu+mount&fr2=sb-top-search&hspart=mozilla&hsimp=yhs-001
[09:50] <Big_Bob> dat link
[09:50] <daminimal> AlexPortable: multitouch trackpad gestures is probably mostly nice-to-have but not a nececcity for most people, thus people.
[09:50] <daminimal> AlexPortable: Thus people (developers) have left it out from priorities.
[09:50] <AlexPortable> oh oky
[09:50] <AlexPortable> okay*
[09:51] <Lihis> cfhowlett: Thanks, but how to mount specific directory from Drive?
[09:51] <AlexPortable> curiousx: gnome-shell is that like gnome 2?
[09:51] <cfhowlett> Lihis, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-mount-google-drive-in-ubuntu-linux-using-google-drive-ocamlfuse.html
[09:53] <curiousx> AlexPortable: not exactly, take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xu0VSKvfNEI
[09:54] <AlexPortable> oh thats gnome 3
[09:55] <loa> can somebody explain one thing i installed intel video driver part for xorg... but when i load in, i see that something create xorg config where nvidia mentioned again. can somebody explain me who?
[09:55] <loa> why i even need configuration file today?
[09:56] <lotuspsychje> loa: optimus card?
[09:56] <loa> no, i have 660 gtx, and intel proccessor
[09:56] <loa> it is PC
[09:57] <loa> lotuspsychje, now i created empty xorg.conf in folder /etc/X11 and set immutabale flag.
[09:57] <loa> but it is very dirty solution.
[09:57] <lotuspsychje> loa: you need to install nvidia drivers for your gtx
[09:57] <curiousx> AlexPortable: yup
[09:57] <Lihis> cfhowlett: Nope, with -label I can add multiple accounts but with it I cannot specificy the directory which should be mounted from the Drive. I assume it is not supported then :/
[09:57] <loa> lotuspsychje, i don't want them now at all.
[09:57] <lotuspsychje> loa: wich drivers showup your additional drivers?
[09:57] <lotuspsychje> loa: why?
[09:57] <curiousx> !info suckless-tools
[09:57] <cfhowlett> Lihis, not natively it seems.  sorry.
[09:57] <dupingping> popey, hi
[09:58] <loa> lotuspsychje, i want passthrough to virtual machine my videocard.
[09:58]  * cfhowlett learned that there is an official package named "suckless-tools" ...
[09:58] <johnny_linux> tothless will be next
[09:58] <Lihis> cfhowlett: Thanks for help anyway :)
[09:58] <lotuspsychje> loa: if not using your gtx, why not take the card out?
[09:59] <lotuspsychje> loa: a system gets confused if your not gonna use inserted hardware
[09:59] <loa> lotuspsychje, actually i did this, i deleted nvidia driver and blacklisted nouveau
[09:59] <loa> but somebody in my system don't think so.
[10:00] <lotuspsychje> johnny_linux: join us back at discuss :p
[10:00] <loa> lotuspsychje, it create such file http://pastebin.com/QQE4HmMp
[10:01] <loa> and i end with error about strange screen "nvidia"
[10:01] <lotuspsychje> loa: im not sure i understand your end goal mate sorry
[10:01] <lotuspsychje> loa: you want a virtual machine use your intel?
[10:02] <loa> lotuspsychje, i will show you.
[10:03] <loa> lotuspsychje, https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Multiheaded-NVIDIA-Gaming-using-Ubuntu-14-04-KVM-585/
[10:03] <loa> lotuspsychje, i want intel in my host os (ubuntu), gtx want give to guest.
[10:04] <loa> actually all is working, but i have problem with xorg now and configuration which is not valid.
[10:05] <lotuspsychje> loa: not sure how thats done sorry, maybe the #kvm guys know or #vbox?
[10:06] <loa> lotuspsychje, i gave you that article, because you asked why i want my xorg to sit on intel video card.
[10:07] <loa> i have no problem with kvm, i only have problem with xorg or somebody creating wrong xorg.conf
[10:08] <lotuspsychje> loa: did you do what the article says, quiet splash intel line?
[10:09] <hansz> My nautilus crashed, and I can't run it anymore. I know that if I'll restart I'll be able to run it again. However, I'm trying to figure out the cause. Any idea what I should look for?
[10:09] <lotuspsychje> hansz: any errors while launching it from terminal?
[10:09] <hansz> running nautilus from command line simply hangs, doing nothing, using no CPU
[10:09] <lotuspsychje> hansz: how about gksudo nautilus?
[10:10] <hansz> gksudo is not installed here. but sudo nautilus works.
[10:11] <lotuspsychje> hansz: might be a user problem then, try create another user and start terminal from there
[10:11] <hansz> nautilus -q stop quietly with "GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 313 was not found when attempting to remove it
[10:20] <Joy> i've tried to google this, but found nothing concrete - how do i make sure that an upstart job runs before runlevel 2 (before a specific init script)?
[10:20] <Joy> there's a "start on runlevel 2", but i want "start before runlevel 2"
[10:20] <Joy> i'm trying to mount a filesystem
[10:21] <Joy> and doing "start on filesystem" isn't good enough, because apparently runlevel 2 starts in parallel and races
[10:21] <bindi> Joy: why wont you add to /etc/fstab?
[10:21] <Joy> bindi: i need to assemble RAID10
[10:21] <Joy> in this case basically a RAID0 composed of two RAID1s which do get autoassembled
[10:22] <bindi> Joy: mdadm.conf?
[10:22] <Joy> bindi: doesn't work on Ubuntu 12 LTS apparently.
[10:22] <bindi> Joy: or what are you using?
[10:23] <Joy> the underlying  RAID1s get assembled via initramfs
[10:23] <Joy> the one on top - nothing
[10:23] <bindi> just install zfsonlinux :P

[11:00] <excalibr> Anyone familiar with doing lvm snapshot on rootfs vol?
[11:01] <excalibr> Do I need to concern about some module for initramfs before doing the snapshot?
[11:04] <UniFreak> I set a shortcut(super+delete) to turn off screen(xset dpms force off), but it sometime(once out of three) only flashed, then go back to normal status automatically
[11:04] <UniFreak> any idea why this happen?
[11:05] <capsicum1> anyone familiar with lxc profile
[11:06] <Ben64> UniFreak: because you pressed a key
[11:09] <bobdobbs> hi all. I've just updated from 12.04 to 14.04.  I've been running two monitors with an nvidia card. My OS upgrade went smoothly. However, my second monitor is blank.
[11:09] <bobdobbs> If I move my mouse around, I can see a mouse pointer enter the screen of the second monitor.
[11:09] <bobdobbs> So, ubuntu knows that the monitor is there. It just doesn't furnish it with anything.
[11:10] <Ben64> can you drag a window there
[11:10] <bobdobbs> no
[11:10] <Ben64> did you configure it using nvidia-settings
[11:10] <UniFreak> I added `sleep 3;` as here(http://askubuntu.com/questions/253818/manually-turn-off-monitor/253821#253821) suggested
[11:10] <ycon_> Hi all, how do I update uwsgi on my server (14.04)? I'm on 1.9 x, and I want to be on the latest (2.?)
[11:10] <UniFreak> but the shortcut then no longer worked
[11:11] <bobdobbs> Ben64: I haven't touched any config since I rebooted into 14.04 for the first time. which was about 15 minutes ago.
[11:11] <Ben64> UniFreak: you need to make a script and have the shortcut run the script
[11:11] <Ben64> bobdobbs: then nvidia-settings should be your first stop
[11:12] <bobdobbs> Ben64: cool. looking at it now
[11:12] <excalibr> UniFreak, on terminal it works?
[11:12] <excalibr> sleep 3 && xset ...
[11:13] <jb-> s
[11:14] <UniFreak> excalibr: terminal work
[11:14] <UniFreak> both && and ;
[11:14] <UniFreak> but not when I set it as shortcut
[11:14] <Ben64> UniFreak: i already told you the solution
[11:15] <jb-> s
[11:15] <UniFreak> Ben64, yes, guess that the way to go
[11:15] <excalibr> yea what Ben64 told you
[11:15] <UniFreak> thank you
[11:15] <excalibr> bind the key to run the script instead
[11:15] <bobdobbs> Ben64: the config in nvidia-settings looks good. the gui picks up two devices. xinerama is not enabled. (which is fine)
[11:16] <bobdobbs> I guess the next step is to figure out how to get gnome doing something with the second screen
[11:16] <UniFreak> Ben64: and,where is the conventional dir to put such script?
[11:17] <Ben64> anywhere you like. could be ~/ could be ~/bin/
[11:17] <Ben64> bobdobbs: try changing stuff a bit, and hit apply
[11:18] <bobdobbs> cool. I'm gonna back up my existing X config first
[11:19] <Ben64> you shouldn't have one
[11:19] <bobdobbs> no?
[11:19] <Ben64> if you do, that might be causing a problem
[11:19] <bobdobbs> why shouldn't I have one?
[11:19] <Ben64> hasn't been needed for years
[11:19] <Ben64> ls: cannot access /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory
[11:19] <hateball> Ben64: with nvidia, to achieve certain settings you need it tho
[11:19] <Ben64> see, i don't have one, things are working great
[11:19] <bobdobbs> huh
[11:20] <bobdobbs> yeah, I've got one
[11:20] <bobdobbs> I had no idea that xorg.conf hasn't been needed in years
[11:20] <bobdobbs> I become an expert in X about once every five years. ie, after something breaks.
[11:20] <bobdobbs> then I forget it all again
[11:20] <Ben64> since at least 10.10
[11:21] <bobdobbs> I am but a dog on the internet. I have no idea what I'm doing.
[11:21] <Ben64> so i'd say rename it or something, in case everything explodes you can restore it, and reboot (or restart x)
[11:22] <bobdobbs> k
[11:24] <bobdobbs> I'm gonna be another few minutes. when I go to save the nvidia settings, the gui gives me a warning, advising me agaisnt using absolute positioning for the second screen
[11:24] <bobdobbs> so I'm gonna figure out where that is set, and turn it off
[11:24] <Ben64> try without a config at all
[11:24] <Harm133> Hey guys, I'm having a bit of a struggle
[11:24] <bobdobbs> the warning said that this could result in a display not working
[11:25] <bobdobbs> Ben64: how would I do that?
[11:25] <Ben64> by renaming or deleting the xorg.conf and restarting...
[11:25] <bobdobbs> Ben64: would I just delete the xorg.conf?
[11:25] <bobdobbs> ah, ok
[11:25] <Harm133> I need to update my kernel but my /boot is full, how can I safely clear space ( by deleting files ) within the partiton? Or is it a better solution to try and expand the parititon?
[11:25] <bobdobbs> k. restarting X. back soon...
[11:26] <hateball> Harm133: remove old/unneeded kernels
[11:26] <Peanut> Hi - I have a minimal install on my desktop, now I would like to add a desktop environment (Gnome or Unity), is there a simple package that I can install that gets me the gnome desktop? Which desktops do we have for Wily (15.10) ?
[11:27] <Harm133> hateball: Is that safe, as in if I reboot it won't crash :)?
[11:27] <baizon> Peanut: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop/xubuntu-desktop/kubuntu-desktop et.c
[11:27] <Peanut> baizon: thanks!
[11:28] <hateball> Harm133: as long as you dont remove the working kernel you're booted on now
[11:28] <baizon> Peanut: for ubuntu gnome it is: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop
[11:28] <Peanut> baizon: that's the one I'd like to try, after several years of Unity.
[11:29] <Harm133> hateball: Thank you very much :), I'll try and do that
[11:29] <hateball> Harm133: if you're not fully out of diskspace you can "sudo apt-get install bikeshed && sudo purge-old-kernels"
[11:30] <Peanut> Only 1279 packages to install, here we go.
[11:33] <Crysp> Could someone explain why when linux is force-shutdown (by power), nothing appears change (like the system does not get corrupted) but windows shows an error message that your system has not shutdown properly. Does this affect the linux system internally in any way, or is it all fine?
[11:34] <Ben64> it can damage filesystems
[11:39] <ratrace> Crysp: because your filesystem is probably fixing all that silently
[11:40] <bobdobbs> Ben64: hey ben! I've got use of two monitors now!
[11:40] <Ben64> :D
[11:41] <bobdobbs> \o/
[11:41] <bobdobbs> it's a single x display though. I used to have two. I'm trying to decide if I want to stick with one.
[11:42] <bobdobbs> also trying to decide if I want to emulate classic gnome
[11:43] <amitd26> hi
[11:44] <bobdobbs> Ben64: I feel a little nervous, not seeing where all my minimised browser windows are
[11:45] <bobdobbs> but then again, having a single X display without fancy compiz extensions could save some memory
[11:45] <bobdobbs> then again, I have a good amount of memory
[11:45] <Ben64> why wouldn't you see where they are
[11:46] <bobdobbs> on the new-fangled layout, I just can't
[11:46] <Ben64> oh
[11:46] <Ben64> well you don't have to use unity :)
[11:46] <bobdobbs> I know they are somewhere. but I have no way of accessing them.
[11:46] <bobdobbs> I thought I was using unity. maybe I'm not.
[11:46] <bobdobbs> If I'm not using unity, what am I using?
[11:47] <Ben64> depends what it looks like
[11:47] <Ben64> unity has a side bar, the menu bars kind of merge into the top bar
[11:47] <hateball> You could be using the most glorious KDE Plasma, but then you'd by default have a panel to view minimized applications
[11:47] <bobdobbs> ok
[11:47] <bobdobbs> I don't think it's plasma. but I could be wrong. this doesn't look like what I remember KDE looking like.
[11:48] <bobdobbs> I see a panel at the top of my leftmost screen
[11:48] <bobdobbs> no panel of any kind on my rightmost screen
[11:48] <EriC^^> bobdobbs: echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
[11:48] <bobdobbs> terminal returns: GNOME
[11:49] <EriC^^> ok, so you're using gnome
[11:49] <bobdobbs> cool. a familiar thing.
[11:49] <bobdobbs> not the gnome of my childhood though
[11:49] <EriC^^> it's probably gnome 3
[11:50] <EriC^^> mate is a fork of gnome 2
[11:51] <bobdobbs> is it possible to have a gnome panel on my rightmost screen? do I need a second X display for that?
[11:51] <EriC^^> you have 2 screens?
[11:52] <EriC^^> maybe, in unity you can put the launcher on both screens
[11:52] <EriC^^> check settings > display maybe
[11:52] <bobdobbs> yes, I have to physical monitors
[11:53] <bobdobbs> EriC^^: I don't see an option under 'Displays' to attach a seperate instance of X to either screen
[11:54] <bobdobbs> oh wait
[11:55] <EriC^^> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1392443
[11:55] <bobdobbs> such a setting might be available under nvidia-settinngs. checking...
[11:55] <EriC^^> i think you can have 2 panels without 2 x sessions too though
[11:57] <bobdobbs> oh hey. it looks like the settings I want are actually in nvidia-settings. if I read the gui right.
[11:57] <bobdobbs> ok. reconfig'd.
[11:57] <hateball> if you're using the proprietary driver you need to use nvidia-settings
[11:57] <bobdobbs> hateball: yup. that's what I'm using.
[11:57] <bobdobbs> I think I might have it.
[11:57] <bobdobbs> here goes nothing...
[12:00] <heber> hi shreding
[12:09] <bobdobbs> Ben64: hi again.
[12:09] <Ben64> hi
[12:09] <p4trix> How can I set up a shortcut for my programs? Like when I press CTRL + T it opens the terminal?
[12:09] <bobdobbs> I'm back to where I was before: no access to application on the rightmost screen. just a x-style mouse indicator
[12:09] <bobdobbs> I've got the classic gnome look back though. so I've got a panel at least
[12:10] <JessicaJung_> p4trix: you may use gconf or unity-tweak-tools if unity and gnome-tweak-tools if gnome
[12:10] <Ben64> bobdobbs: trying to make two sessions again?
[12:10] <JessicaJung_> I don't remember how those packages named, bbut they're stylized like that
[12:10] <bobdobbs> Ben64: ideally, yes
[12:10] <Ben64> why?
[12:10] <p4trix> JessicaJung_, thx
[12:11] <bobdobbs> Ben64: looks like gnome can only see one of my displays.
[12:11] <bobdobbs> if I look at the 'displays' settings, gnome only gives me options for one
[12:12] <ztane> anyone have success with skype on wily...?
[12:12] <p4trix> is Ubuntu 14 LTE Gnome or KDE by default?
[12:12] <ztane> seems that the qt libs are veeeeery buggy
[12:12] <Ben64> p4trix: depends if you unstalled ubuntu-gnome or kubuntu
[12:12] <cfhowlett> p4trix, LTE?  you mean LTS??
[12:12] <p4trix> yes, LTS
[12:12] <p4trix> Sorry
[12:13] <p4trix> I dont know, I just downloaded the ISO and installed it with an USB
[12:13] <p4trix> I didnt choose KDE or GNome
[12:13] <Ben64> which iso
[12:13] <cfhowlett> p4trix, more than likely, you have unity
[12:13] <loa> what i can check if i have locale problems in my ttys?
[12:13] <p4trix> If you go to ubuntu.com
[12:13] <loa> when i use setupcon all become normal.
[12:13] <p4trix> ./downloads
[12:13] <Ben64> so unity
[12:13] <JessicaJung_> hey guys, what libraries do you require to run cgminer?
[12:13] <p4trix> A ok. Thx
[12:14]  * p4trix searches about unity
[12:14] <bazhang> try #eligius for that JessicaJung_
[12:15] <JessicaJung_> oh thanks
[12:15] <JessicaJung_> my only concern cgminer requires a batch-like file for bash
[12:15] <bekks> JessicaJung_: thats called a shell script.
[12:16] <JessicaJung_> bekks: the .bashrc format?
[12:16] <bekks> JessicaJung_: .bashrc is a configuration file for the bash shell.
[12:16] <JessicaJung_> bekks: oh right, I forgot
[12:17] <JessicaJung_> bekks: I don't remember what's the file extension abbv. for that
[12:17] <Ben64> linux doesn't need extensions
[12:18] <JessicaJung_> Ben64: it's actually the term that file uses for example myfile.conf .conf if the file extension format which stands as UNIX configuration file
[12:19] <Ben64> file extensions really don't matter in linux at all
[12:19] <Mathisen> quick question: is it the dvd player or disk that forces region check ?
[12:20] <JessicaJung_> Mathiesen: I don't remember a Linux distro having region check, and it's 2015 already
[12:20] <Ben64> Mathisen: both
[12:21]  * JessicaJung_ checks the Ubuntu machine with a DVD player to see if she can replicate Mathisen's question
[12:23] <JessicaJung_> Mathisent: this distro doesn't  Region check, what's your version so I can investigate
[12:23] <Ben64> its a hardware thing
[12:24] <JessicaJung_> Ben64: it depends on the system you run right?
[12:24] <Ben64> uh... no its a hardware thing
[12:24] <JessicaJung_> Ben64: region locks shouldn't exist in 21st century
[12:24] <Ben64> dvds still exist
[12:25] <bazhang> JessicaJung_, lets get back on topic
[12:25] <JessicaJung_> Ben64: mostt of them doesn't have Region locks so I was wondering how did he had a region lock?
[12:25] <bekks> JessicaJung_: dvds implement the region code, and its a hardware thing of the dvd player to actually evaluate the region code.
[12:25] <bazhang> JessicaJung_, chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[12:25] <bekks> JessicaJung_: most dvd have a region code actually.
[12:25] <bazhang> JessicaJung_, what were you planning on mining with?
[12:26] <JessicaJung_> bazhang: Dogecoin on Scrypt
[12:26] <bazhang> JessicaJung_, I meant the hw
[12:26] <JessicaJung_> bahzhang: I was planning to use the miner on my machine with the LTS version
[12:28] <JessicaJung_> bazhang: it's a regular AMD rig
[12:28] <JessicaJung_> bazhang: i5 CPu, 8GB ramm, 1x R9 290X GPU
[12:29] <bazhang> JessicaJung_, you might wish to ask in #dogecoin if that will yield anything at all, the chances are extremely low, if any
[12:29] <JessicaJung_> bazhang: nope, everyone is just idling
[12:30] <JessicaJung_> bazhang: anyways thanks for the help too
[12:30] <Peanut> Is there a channel for help with the Ubuntu gnome desktop?
[12:30] <Mathisen> im just testing some things here, but i got it sorted
[12:32] <gnu-salad> JessicaJung_: There are ASIC miners for dogecoin now. They blow GPU's out of the water for $$$/Watt.
[12:32] <gnu-salad> Oh, she left. nvm
[12:32] <bazhang> he left gnu-salad
[12:33] <gnu-salad> JessicaJung_: There are ASIC miners for dogecoin now. They blow GPU's out of the water for $$$/Watt.
[12:33] <gnu-salad> JessicaJung_: Even before that, even with the best cards for it, you were spending more money on power than you were making in money.
[12:36] <Guest60453> what is the best firewall for backbox
[12:36] <silverhom> well you mean frontend?
[12:36] <bobdobbs> Ben64: look
[12:36] <JessicaJung_> gnu-salad: unfortunately, ASIC miners won't work for dogecoin mining, dogecoin uses Scrypt Algorithm as POW
[12:37] <bobdobbs> Ben64: looks like I've totally lost the second monitor. gnome just doesn't pick it up at all.
[12:37] <bobdobbs> Ben64: X can see it: I've got a mouse.
[12:37] <OerHeks> !backbox | Guest60453
[12:37] <Ben64> Guest60453: backbox isn't supported here
[12:37] <bobdobbs> actually, I wonder if another window manager will pick it up. should I try KDE or something?
[12:37] <JessicaJung_> bobdobbs: check if X11 works on multi-montor
[12:37] <Ben64> bobdobbs: yeah well... idk why you want to run two sessions
[12:38] <NicholasCage> Does anyone know a good terminal chat for windows since they cut off XMPP?
[12:38] <JessicaJung_> bobdobbs: try unity for now or KDE
[12:38] <NicholasCage> for Facebook* I mean
[12:38] <JessicaJung_> NIcholasCage: this page is for Ubuntu-related topics, please use #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:38] <bobdobbs> Ben64: I just got used to it. probable because with two sessions I got a seperate gnome panel on the second monitor. so I could manage all my applications
[12:39] <JessicaJung_> bobdobbs: I think there's a workaround for that
[12:39] <bobdobbs> JessicaJung_: I bet you are right.
[12:39] <JessicaJung_> bobdobbs: but I've idled with Linux for now, but it exists on the Launchpad page
[12:39] <gnu-salad> JessicaJung_: Scrypt ASIC miners are available to the public now. They've existed since at least Q3 2014.
[12:39] <Guest60453> anyone knows a good firewall for linux ?
[12:40] <baizon> Guest60453: ufs
[12:40] <bobdobbs> this is actually the reason why I held off from updating to 14.0.4. Every update comes with new display issues
[12:40] <JessicaJung_> gnu-salad:; nice to know, but I'll use a Linux machine with Hyper-V
[12:40] <baizon> Guest60453: ufw, sorry
[12:40] <Ben64> Guest60453: you're using backbox. use backbox support
[12:40] <JessicaJung_> Guest60453: try openDNS
[12:40] <Guest60453> thanks!!!
[12:41] <JessicaJung_> Ben64: did the OpenSSL MITM exploit got fixed ( the latest CVE)?
[12:41] <Ben64> you'd need to be more specific
[12:41] <JessicaJung_> Ben64: I mean the OpenSSL Man in the middle exploit
[12:42] <hateball> bobdobbs: fwiw I am on 14.04 running multiple monitors with KDE...
[12:42] <bobdobbs> hateball: I havent' run KDE for aaaages.
[12:42] <JessicaJung_> Ben64: I don't remember the CVE code but I'm afriad to use it for my site
[12:42] <Ben64> yeah i know the acronym... you're going to need to be more specific (a link to it would help)
[12:42] <bobdobbs> I'm gonna jump off channel again while I restart X
[12:43] <JessicaJung_> here, try browsing this pile of vulnerabilities: http://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html
[12:43] <Ben64> why don't you?
[12:43] <chotaz`w> My system won't boot after I upgraded to 15.10, I believe it might be related to the new kernel, because I can boot to 3.19 just fine. How can I know what is causing this?
[12:43] <cfhowlett> chotaz`w, reboot.  choose advanced options and boot an older kernel
[12:43] <chotaz`w> cfhowlett, that works, I'm trying to figure out what makes 4.2 not work.
[12:44] <JessicaJung_> this tech site reports it properly (I guess): http://thehackernews.com/2014/06/openssl-vulnerable-to-man-in-middle.html
[12:44] <chotaz`w> cfhowlett, when I try to boot 4.2, it asks for my disk encryption key, and then it hangs after unlocking the filesystem
[12:44] <JessicaJung_> Ben64: maybe you have an Idea if it's fixed?
[12:45] <cfhowlett> chotaz`w, please direct it to tohe overall channel.  I'm afraid kernel troubleshooting is too far out of my league
[12:45] <JessicaJung_> Ben64: it's CVE-2014-0224
[12:45] <Ben64> JessicaJung_: from june 2014, yes. its fixed
[12:45] <JessicaJung_> Ben64: oh, good to know, I won't be problematic about my site now
[12:46] <chotaz`w> When I try to boot with new kernel(4.2) my system hangs after unlocking my root filesystem with no type of error/panic message whatsoever. However if I hold shift and select the older kernel(3.19) it boots just fine. How can I debug this further?
[12:47] <JessicaJung_> Since Wily's out, does that mean another point release in 4.04 right?
[12:47] <JessicaJung_> 14.04 * sorry
[12:47] <Ben64> in february, yes
[12:48] <JessicaJung_> that's a long wait, the 3rd point release has  so many bugs than the 1st point release
[12:48] <chotaz`w> cfhowlett, thanks for the time!
[12:48] <JessicaJung_> I hope it'll be in time, I like the new live patching for Linux  in version 4.0
[12:48] <cfhowlett> chotaz`w, happy2try!
[12:48] <nglpx1> chotaz`w, can you boot in recovery mode?
[12:49] <chotaz`w> nglpx1, haven't tried, can you give me 2m to come back with feedback?
[12:49] <chotaz`w> nglpx1, you mean 4.2 recovery mode?
[12:49] <nglpx1> yes
[12:56] <chotaz`w> nglpx1, there? I just managed to boot to 4.2 by booting into recovery mode then selecting "Continue normal boot" from the recovery menu.
[12:56] <chotaz`w> nglpx1, I hadnt tried recovery mode yet.
[12:56] <nglpx1> try to gai a shell
[12:57] <nglpx1> gain*
[12:57] <chotaz`w> nglpx1, Im here.
[12:58] <nglpx1> chotaz`w, gain a root shell in recovery mode
[13:06] <ngaio> on Ubuntu 15.10, is it safe to set pip3 to install to python 3.4 and not python 3.5, by doing this: python3.4 /usr/bin/pip3
[13:07] <ngaio> the first line of /usr/bin/pip3 is #!/usr/bin/python3.5 , which surprised me
[13:09] <Pici> ngaio: its probably better to call the pip module from python3.4 itself: python3.4 -m pip
[13:12] <ngaio> Pici, thanks, I'll try that!
[13:12] <pbx> nice tip Pici
[13:21] <UniFreak> I want to use arc theme, did this(http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3AHorst3180&package=arc-theme), seems no error occur
[13:21] <UniFreak> but still, I can't see the arc-theme option in appearance
[13:22] <UniFreak> how do I know whether the theme has been installed successfully?
[13:26] <UniFreak> there did have a new theme option: Adaita
[13:26] <UniFreak> is it arc?
[13:29] <regedit> hello i need to repair this ubuntu drive http://paste.ubuntu.com/12969898/ is fsck.ext3 -f /dev/sdc5 the right command?
[13:29] <regedit> also why are those 2 partitions appear to be overlapping, the Extended and the Linux
[13:29] <cfhowlett> ext 3?  default ubuntu is ext4
[13:29] <regedit> ah ok
[13:29] <regedit> ye i think i did do ext4 during installation
[13:30] <cfhowlett> I certainly hope so.
[13:30] <EriC^^> the extended isnt overlapping, extended is like the space where you can put logical partitions
[13:30] <regedit> ah
[13:30] <nglpx1> regedit, laucnch gparted to see the exact fs type
[13:30] <regedit> nglpx1: will do, thanks
[13:31] <regedit> also it's ok to do this from another ubuntu machine "proper", in contrast to a bootable live recovery disc, right?
[13:31] <bekks> regedit: BEcause the logical partition is inside the extended.
[13:31] <bekks> regedit: which is expected :)
[13:31] <regedit> bekks: right i see
[13:35] <aarobc> why is it sometimes youtube plays back at like 2x speed and the audio is just chirps and clicks?
[13:35] <aarobc> Youtube says it's playing back at normal speed
[13:36] <aarobc> oh wait, looks like it's just chrome
[13:37] <tmsbrg> YouTube's a bit weird for me too, but only in fullscreen. Usually takes like 5 seconds to respond to my input when I try to pause it or get out of fullscreen
[13:37] <tmsbrg> my solution is to copypaste the YouTube URL in VLC and play it there. No problems
[13:37] <UniFreak> I solved my problem. I only needed to install unity tweak tool
[13:39] <Cipher45> Is there a reason to reboot an ubuntu server if it's running in openvz? I can't update the kernal myself
[13:39] <tabletgrub> Hi how to boot Ubuntu 15.10 from LiveUSB without user interaction in the grub 2 splash screen, which .cfg file i need to edit to boot the default first entry which is Tray Ubunut.Thanks.:)
[13:40] <tabletgrub> *Try Ubuntu
[13:44] <OerHeks> tabletgrub, maybe this post is any help http://askubuntu.com/questions/47522/how-to-bypass-try-it-install-screen-when-booting-from-usb-live-session-wit
[13:44] <regedit> so i'm doing a fsck.ext4, i got this - what do i do?
[13:45] <regedit> Error reading block 60325917 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read).  Ignore error<y>?
[13:45] <OerHeks> never tried such myself, i would just hit 'try' and you would need to give some answers anyway, keyboard, locale and such
[13:45] <tabletgrub> Will try OerHeks.Thanks.:D
[13:46] <nglpx1> regedit, watch at which file that block belongs
[13:46] <regedit> nglpx1: how if i may ask, and then what?
[13:46] <nglpx1> find / -inum inodenumber
[13:47] <nglpx1> (with the fs mounted)
[13:47] <regedit> nglpx1: the problematic drive is plugged in via USB, currently not mounted
[13:47] <regedit> ah
[13:48] <regedit> i'll need to stop fsck for this?
[13:48] <nglpx1> wat  the end of fsck
[13:48] <nglpx1> wait*
[13:48] <regedit> ok so for now 'y' ?
[13:48] <nglpx1> ignore it now
[13:48] <regedit> k thanks
[13:49] <regedit> nglpx1: now it's asking me Force rewrite<y>?
[13:49] <nglpx1> on that inode block?
[13:49] <regedit> i dunno.... i guess?
[13:50] <nglpx1> ignore all errors
[13:50] <regedit> but what do i tell this guy wondering whether to Force rewrite<y>?
[13:51] <regedit> i should 'n' ? <Enter> ? ^C ?
[13:53] <bekks> regedit: you could also use -y for fsck.
[13:53] <regedit> so i should 'y' that, i gather
[13:54] <nglpx1> regedit, http://www.redhat.com/archives/blinux-list/2012-September/msg00006.html
[13:56] <regedit_> gah lost internets, and the drive apparently, so i restarted the fsck command with -y this time
[13:59] <roscoe> Hello... Had Ubuntu 10.04 LTS installed and running perfectly on my Windows XP computer, tried to upgrade and ran into trouble so I uninstalled,the installCD no longer boots up, any advice?
[13:59] <bekks> roscoe: How did you "uninstall" ubuntu?
[14:00] <OerHeks> roscoe, maybe the disc is faulty now, who can tell, 10.04 is EOL, try a newer supported version anyway
[14:00] <roscoe> using ADD / Remove on Windows Control Panel
[14:00] <jpds> roscoe: Why are you running 10.04?
[14:00] <thebwt> roscoe: the 10.04 repos are gone, so if the installer tries to pull from that, it won't work anymore.
[14:00] <thebwt> roscoe: you'll need to get a newer one that has repo's in place
[14:00] <jpds> roscoe: It end of lifed months ago: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
[14:01] <ratrace> roscoe: you un/installed Ubuntu in Windows XP using "Add/Remove" in XP control panel?
[14:01] <OerHeks> "add remove' windows panel .. uh oh, wubi install ?
[14:01] <bekks> yikes.
[14:01] <thebwt> ^ yet, wubi
[14:01] <bekks> !wubi | ratrace
[14:01] <roscoe> Im new to all this, 10.04 was what I got my hands on, should I try fresh install of newer version?
[14:02] <bekks> ratrace: sorry, wrong nick :)
[14:02] <jpds> roscoe: Yes, the latest LTS is 14.04
[14:02] <ratrace> bekks: oh I didn't know it worked like that, thanks
[14:02] <bekks> !wubi | roscoe
[14:02] <regedit_> roscoe: yes, and get your  money back from the dealer who sold you 10.04
[14:02] <regedit_> :p
[14:04] <regedit_> is there any way to safely pause fsck, unplug drive, replug drive, and continue fsck?
[14:06] <swenzel> how much work would it be to find the code, apply the patch from https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61651 compile it and then replace the current driver with the new one?
[14:08] <swenzel> or would it be easier to just buy another nic?
[14:08] <roscoe> thanks everybody
[14:11] <OerHeks> swenzel, seems like that bug is solved in kernel 3.19
[14:11] <swenzel> OerHeks: I use kernel 4.2 and wol is still not available for me
[14:11] <UniFreak> I downloaded unity-tweak-tool and Arc theme, when I'm happily tweak the theme setting, suddenlly all my shortcut stop working
[14:12] <UniFreak> and the dash also the top bar disappeared
[14:13] <OerHeks> swenzel, not sure if that/any patch works on 4.2 ,  i would file a new bugreport, mention that bugreport too
[14:13] <UniFreak> what do I do now?
[14:13] <xubunto> can i run linux on a laptop that is initialized with windows 10
[14:13] <EriC^^> yes
[14:14] <xubunto> i wont have to worry about the UEFI?
[14:14] <EriC^^> it depends, might work straight away, might need to be tweaked a little
[14:14] <pbx> after instlling an additional DE (XFCE; normally i use Unity or xmonad), notifications have been taken over by XFCE's widgetry.  i don't mind the style change but the volume up/down/mute notification is entirely gone and i miss that.  how to fix?
[14:15] <xubunto> thank you EriC^^
[14:15] <sanigame> Hello
[14:15] <wileee> xubunto, This is the ubuntu channel, so be sure you know answers here are on ubuntu and not all 1000 linux OS.
[14:16] <UniFreak> also, all applications's menu bar disappeared, too
[14:16] <UniFreak> please help me
[14:16] <millerti> Can anyone help me with an NFS server problem?  I'm trying to start the NFS server, but it fails, and I find this error in the log:  mount: unknown filesystem type 'nfsd'
[14:17] <millerti> I actually, selected NFS server when I installed the OS (15.10), so all the stuff should be there, but actually, it wasn't.  I had to use apt-get to install NFS server.
[14:17] <teward> millerti: i think the filesystem needs to be nfs4, not nfsd?
[14:17] <wileee> UniFreak, Unity is a plugin in compiz, you can reset, might be what is needed, get back to where you started.
[14:18] <millerti> teward: I haven't specified a filesystem, just an exports file.
[14:18] <teward> millerti: OK, well, mount is being run at some point and its stating that the filesystem it's trying to mount is not known
[14:18] <teward> (probably when you are starting the thing)
[14:18] <millerti> I have specified a directory being exported, and it's already mounted.
[14:19] <millerti> teward: Well, this is all internal to nfs server.  There's no place I know about where I can specify something like nfs4 vs. nfsd.
[14:19] <teward> mmm
[14:20] <swenzel> why do I always have to get the hardware that doesn't just work :(
[14:20] <sanigame> How to use unity 8
[14:21] <wileee> sanigame, where?
[14:21] <baizon> sanigame: http://askubuntu.com/questions/447891/how-to-install-unity-8
[14:22] <millerti> So where am I going wrong?  I followed the NFS server instructions to the letter.
[14:22] <sanigame> baizon:Thank you varymuch.
[14:24] <millerti> Ok, so I did an apt-get update and upgrade, and I see errors about nsf-common not being configured.  Shouldn't that have been installed automatically when I installed the nfs server package?
[14:24] <EriC^^> millerti: try sudo dpkg --configure -a
[14:24] <SlaveOfJesus> Hi
[14:25] <thecyclone> Hi. Today I am not able to see any wireless networks in my UBUNTU 14.04LTS
[14:25] <thecyclone> yesterday it was working fine
[14:25] <SlaveOfJesus> Sound is working when i type "speaker-test -c 2" but when i try to watch youtube videos i hear no sound? ANY IDEAS?
[14:25] <SlaveOfJesus> thecyclone: do you have old laptop?
[14:25] <wileee> thecyclone, wifi hardware?
[14:25] <baizon> SlaveOfJesus: check the default audio output, maybe its set to hdmi
[14:25] <thecyclone> SlaveOfJesus: Yes, it is 1 year old
[14:26] <millerti> Yeah.  The problem is that nfs-common is failing to install.  This is a fresh install of 15.10.  What should I be looking for?
[14:26] <SlaveOfJesus> baizon: hmm how im not using any DE :) just installeed mini.iso and openbox + firefox :)
[14:26] <SlaveOfJesus> thecyclone: its pretty new
[14:26] <thecyclone> SlaveOfJesus: can you help plz?
[14:27] <SlaveOfJesus> thecyclone: so your pc not detecting wireless card?
[14:27] <millerti> How do I fix "Package nfs-common is not configured yet." ?
[14:27] <thecyclone> SlaveOfJesus: The PC is detecting wireless card but not showing any networks
[14:27] <SlaveOfJesus> thecyclone: how so?
[14:27] <wileee> thecyclone, that user came here for help and should not be helping you really, plenty of daily help here. answer questions by helpers

[14:28] <SlaveOfJesus> baizon:  ?
[14:28] <baizon> SlaveOfJesus: ups, sorry
[14:28] <millerti> How the heck can a completely clean install of 15.10 have completely broken nfs support, and yet I'm finding zilch googling this...
[14:29] <SlaveOfJesus> when i open alsamixer i see its unmuted and 100%
[14:29] <baizon> !man pacmd | SlaveOfJesus
