[00:22] <Kidddd> Hello I installed a program via wine and it's a game. When I launch it the screen goes all out of resolution
[00:22] <Kidddd> how can I fit it to my specific monitor?
[00:22] <terrapin> is it possible to remote to ubuntu from windows thru xrdp with audio?
[00:22] <Kidddd> Is there a way to adjust the resolution of the game so that it will work in full screen
[00:23] <Kidddd> Hello
[00:26] <Bashing-om> Kidddd: Hi ! Your support issue ?
[00:26] <Kidddd> Hello I used Wine to successfullly install a game, however when launched the game's resolution is all messed up
[00:26] <Kidddd> I'm wondering how to change the games resolution
[00:27] <Kidddd> I really want to play this game so if someone could help me that would be awesome :)
[00:27] <Bashing-om> Kidddd: Sorry, I no Wine, no idea .
[00:27] <Kidddd> :(
[00:27] <VFDPrim> no clue bud
[00:27] <Kidddd> Anyone who's a Wine expert on?
[00:28] <inteus> Kidddd: that would probably be in the game's display settings. #winehq would probably be a better channel to help
[00:28] <Kidddd> ty
[00:28] <inteus> !wine
[00:28] <inteus> yeah, #winehq
[00:28] <terrapin> Hello, is it possible to remote to ubuntu from windows thru xrdp with audio?
[00:31] <bumblefuzz> is there an online resource that prescribes exercises to learn linux?
[00:31] <inteus> lots. Google is your friend (in other words, I'd have to google to give you examples) :)
[00:33] <inteus> terrapin: I don't have any experience with that. Stick around, somebody might be able to help. :)
[00:34] <terrapin> thanks, ya ill be here for a little or until i find a solution online! :)
[00:35] <VFDPrim> yea im doing the sam with my amd issue but looks like i might have to go back and start from scratch and just be happy with 14.4
[00:36] <decci> Is purging a good idea while uninstalling Ubuntu packages.
[00:36] <decci> We have been building .DEB packages but -P is required to get everything cleaned up
[00:42] <lagbox> hello any reason hdajackretask isn't working in 15.10 ?
[00:42] <Sean2147483647> Hi, have Telegram channel here? Please invite me, my username is @Sean64, Thanks.
[00:42] <Sean2147483647> I want to join Ubuntu Global Channel.
[00:43] <lagbox> identify with nickserv
[00:44] <Sean2147483647> lagbox: What?
[00:44] <terrapin>  Sean2147483647 /// type /msg nickserv identify  your password
[00:45] <lagbox> or /msg nickserv help     to get started
[00:46] <Sean64> Hi, this is my account
[00:48] <Sean64> Can invite My Telegram @Sean64 to Ubuntu Global Channel?
[00:48] <lagbox> what global channel
[00:49] <Sean64> I don't sure Ubuntu  have Telegram group or not..
[00:49] <lagbox> what is Telegram ?
[00:50] <Sean64> https://telegram.org
[00:51] <inteus> you'll have to get support from telegram. That's not supported here.
[00:51] <lagbox> they probably dont have a group
[00:53] <NinjahMeh> ho hum peeps
[00:54] <NinjahMeh> been looking into the subject of installing linux to a linx 8 windows 8.1 tablet. seems the main issues are the 32bit EFI and what not
[00:56] <NinjahMeh> anyone have any idea if there is somewhere specific that people may be looking into this area that i might find? going to be getting one of the tablets from uni before christmas and would like to see if it can boot linux properly and actually find drivers for the hardware inside as well
[01:10] <lagbox> anyone know why hdajackretask isn't working in 15.10
[01:19] <R3Robbie> Hello?
[01:20] <lagbox> hi
[01:25] <lagbox> every time i try to use it errors and my sound device disappears
[01:25] <rumptes> lagbox: yeah
[01:26] <lagbox> sweet another person to the ignore list
[01:26] <lagbox> man how many 12 year olds are there on here
[01:26] <ProbablyAndy> mmmmm?
[01:27] <sam__> i used to be 12
[01:27] <lagbox> ProbablyAndy, ah just a bunch of random pms from rumptes
[01:27] <ProbablyAndy> in a few years, i'll again be a multiple of 12.
[01:27] <ProbablyAndy> ah pm's.  fun.
[01:27] <lagbox> yea i have to wait another 5 years to hit a multiple
[01:29] <lagbox> but anywho got to reboot to get my sound back apparently
[01:36] <anabain> can anybody explain what <IP_ADDRESS> destination is (obtained from route -n command)? there are also <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS> destinations
[01:40] <ProbablyAndy> anabain: i usually associate 169.254 addresses with the computer being unable to get an address from somewhere, and so it just makes that one up.  Not sure what it means in hte context of a destination
[01:41] <maengora> buenas noches
[01:41] <maengora> alguien conoce un canal de base de datos?
[01:42] <anabain> ProbablyAndy, thanks, I'm googling right now in order to get some info, but so far I've found the same info you've given.
[01:43] <ProbablyAndy> anabain: whats the ip of the interface?
[01:43] <anabain> <IP_ADDRESS>, given statically through /etc/network/interfaces on a kubuntu 15.10 box
[01:44] <ProbablyAndy> anabain: http://serverfault.com/questions/132657/where-route-to-169-254-0-0-comes-from ?
[01:44] <anabain> ProbablyAndy, btw, my dd-wrt routing table has also this <IP_ADDRESS> destination
[01:45] <anabain> thanx
[01:45] <ProbablyAndy> that was for red hat, but i assume its similar.
[01:47] <anabain> ProbablyAndy, that means that I somehow have dhcp enabled on my kubuntu box, right?
[01:48] <lagbox> anyone have any suggestions for getting sound device back into my sound output list in sound settings
[01:48] <lagbox> before i ran hdajackretask it was listed, now gone
[01:49] <anabain> maengora, have you tried the searching channel tool, something like "database" on its "join channel" dialog box?
[01:49] <lagbox> restarting pulseaudio doesn't seem to help
[01:50] <maengora> ok
[01:50] <ProbablyAndy> anabain: i'm not certain, it seems that zeroconf is separate from dhcp
[01:51] <anabain> ok
[01:55] <lagbox> anyone know what to do to get audio device listed in output again after it disappeared
[01:55] <lagbox> alsa, pulseaudio ?
[02:09] <lagbox> ah what ever i am sure it will get fixed eventually, just like the rest of the bugs that were pushed out that shouldn't have made it
[02:10] <Probably1ndy> pulseaudio supposedly handles adding things automagically, right?  i don't supposed you could unload the module and reload it?
[02:10] <lagbox> i have reloaded it
[02:10] <lagbox> but i just restarted so i have audio again
[02:11] <terrapin> Hello, is it possible to remote to ubuntu from windows thru xrdp with audio?
[02:11] <Probably1ndy> ah
[02:11] <Probably1ndy> weird
[02:11] <lagbox> i mean i have ran into these types of things before, just can't figure out at which 'level' it needs to be resolved :)
[02:12] <Probably1ndy> terrapin: probably yes, but you probably have to install it.
[02:12] <regedit> hello
[02:12] <lagbox> the hdajackretask error almost looks like it is expecting a different dev structure
[02:12] <lagbox> hi regedit
[02:12] <Probably1ndy> liuxg: yeah, its a little obfuscated these days.
[02:13] <liuxg> Probably1ndy, hi
[02:13] <terrapin> Probably1ndy, could you give me a link to a how-to or a tutorial
[02:13] <Probably1ndy> howdy liuxg
[02:13] <liuxg> Probably1ndy, what's up?
[02:13] <lagbox> Probably1ndy, this could all just be an issue with how retask works and since it is erroring it didn't fully reconfigure and perhaps is putting it into a bad state
[02:13] <lagbox> but should be a way to 'reset' or reload as you are mentioning
[02:14] <lagbox> should be able to unload all that and reload it all back in
[02:15] <regedit_> how do i tell from command line what is the current Nvidia Prime selection? i want my script to execute something based on that setting
[02:15] <Probably1ndy> terrapin: i'm looking for a howto, but i really don't know what your situation is.  hmm
[02:15] <Probably1ndy> liuxg: not much.  bored.  should be working on other things.
[02:16] <Probably1ndy> lagbox: yeah, you'd think restarting the service would do that.  did you restart pulseaudio and alsa, or just one of them?
[02:16] <lagbox> Probably1ndy, which alsa service these days .. there are a few
[02:16] <Probably1ndy> lagbox: i have no idea.  i don't even use ubuntu :D
[02:16] <regedit_> how do i tell from command line what is the current Nvidia Prime selection? i want my script to execute something based on that setting
[02:16] <lagbox> hehe, no worries
[02:17] <lagbox> i have service   alsa-restore alsa-state alsa-store and alsa-utils
[02:17] <Probably1ndy> geez.  i think store and restore just save and recall mixer settings
[02:18] <lagbox> Probably1ndy, the next time i feel like not having audio again ... i will try a few of them
[02:18] <Probably1ndy> seems like a strategy.
[02:20] <lagbox> would love to figure out why the hdajackretask is looking for a dev dir that doesn't exist
[02:23] <networkTrouble> hi all. I have a system plugged into  network that has a vlan, and I'm pretty sure I configured it correctly; Where would I be able to check logs for errors with networking
[02:23] <networkTrouble> ?
[02:23] <lagbox> Probably1ndy, thanks btw
[02:25] <Probably1ndy> lagbox: no prob, hope you get it worked out.
[02:27] <Probably1ndy> networkTrouble: depends on what kind of errors you're looking for.  i would think something in /var/log might have something
[02:28] <catfishk> networkTrouble, try /var/log/syslog.  NetworkManager logs there *i think*
[02:29] <catfishk> networkTrouble, your switchport is vlan-enabled but not a trunk port, right?
[02:32] <ivan_on_trac> The syntax of this command: dpkg-reconfigure -f noninteractive console-setup -u  It is possible that the command is waiting for user input? I run this command by ansible and sometimes the task is stopped in this command.
[02:35] <multi_io> the ubuntu server installer wants to create a swap partition by default?
[02:36] <networkIssue> hi all. Is there an easy way to test which eth I'm plugged into? (eth0 or eth1, etc)
[02:37] <lagbox> ifconfig
[02:37] <networkIssue> I don't have the ethernet configured yet.
[02:37] <networkIssue> I am running ubuntu server and only loopback is listed.
[02:38] <networkIssue> I think I've modified /etc/network/interfaces correctly to get things up and running, but I'm not sure if I should be configuring eth1 or eht0?
[02:38] <Probably1ndy> ethtool can tell you if there is a cable plugged in
[02:38] <networkIssue> lagbox: ^^
[02:38] <networkIssue> Probably1ndy: what would the arguments be?
[02:39] <networkIssue> PS I don't have an internet connection working yet)
[02:39] <Probably1ndy> hm
[02:39] <Probably1ndy> i would think "ethtool eth0"
[02:39] <Probably1ndy> and then do eth1 as well, and see which one has linked detetected. i don't think it has to be up, but i could be mistaken
[02:40] <happyfr0gg> Is there a terminal program available that passively listens to and displays the actual commands executed when interacting with the GUI???
[02:42] <Bashing-om> ivan_on_trac: (??) unless " noninteractiv ' is the new debconf frontend that command makes no sense . see: ' man dpkg-reconfigure ' .
[02:42] <happyfr0gg> I would like to see the commands executed when interacting with the GUI.
[02:42] <Guest26967> Might anyone know how I can enable Multibyte string input conversion for my LAMP stack?
[02:42] <lagbox> who says that application is executing any commands ?
[02:44] <multi_io> the ubuntu server installer wants to create a swap partition by default...
[02:44] <multi_io> isn't a swap FILE much more common these days?
[02:44] <lagbox> no
[02:44] <ivan_on_trac> Bashing-om: Why not make sense?
[02:44] <lagbox> but either one you want
[02:45] <Bashing-om> ivan_on_trac: The syntax is not proper .
[02:45] <happyfr0gg> Is there a terminal program available that passively listens to and displays the actual commands executed when interacting with the GUI???  I would like to see the commands executed when interacting with the GUI.
[02:46] <happyfr0gg> Kind of like peeking behind the scenes of the GUI.
[02:46] <Probably1ndy> happyfr0gg: i can't think of any.  most of the GUI you see is just calling functions internal to a program, not terminal commands.
[02:47] <happyfr0gg> Probably1ndy - Oh.
[02:48] <Probably1ndy> happyfr0gg: what are you trying to figure out with such a program?
[02:48] <ivan_on_trac> Bashing-om: I do not want user prompt(dialog). because the command runs in the background at Ansible. What is the correct syntax? Or other alternative;
[02:51] <Bashing-om> ivan_on_trac: There is none that I can see for anyway to completely avoid user input . the 'u' argument >> " If this parameter is set though, only questions that have not yet been seen will be asked. " .
[02:51] <happyfr0gg> I would like to see the various call functions when certain things are done via the GUI. Like I said, peek behind the scenes of the GUI and learn the various call functions.
[02:53] <Probably1ndy> happyfr0gg: you might could see that kind of thing with gdb, but the program of interest might have to be recompiled with all the debug info left in first
[02:53] <ivan_on_trac> Bashing-om:  I think I understood! However, I run this on my command prompt and raised no syntax error.
[02:56] <happyfr0gg> Probably1ndy - Okay, thanks.
[03:00] <Bashing-om> ivan`Have you read the 'man' for the command ? "dpkg-reconfigure -f noninteractive" Seems to me that you are attempting to set a differenct frontend other than the default . Is this your intent ?
[03:15] <tx> Hey guys, anyone use autologin on SLiM?
[03:15] <tx> I can't seem to get it work work on ubuntu 15
[03:15] <tx> and before you say it, yes, I know, SLiM is no longer maintained and hence insecure.
[03:22] <ubuntu823> I wrote a ubuntu iso to my flash drive and used it for a few weeks.  I tried to resize the size of the drive and found errors so I wiped the drive with a format and tried to reinstall the ubuntu iso to my flash drive and now it will not boot. I even redownloaded the iso
[03:25] <Zunino> The IcedTea Java plugin has suddenly stopped working on my Ubuntu 15.04 64-bit system. When I try to run the Java verification applet from http://java.com/en/download/installed8.jsp, I get an error.

[03:26] <Zunino> I've already tried reinstalling the icedtea-plugin package, but to no avail.
[03:27] <ubuntu823> I wrote a ubuntu iso to my flash drive and used it for a few weeks.  I tried to resize the size of the drive and found errors so I wiped the drive with a format and tried to reinstall the ubuntu iso to my flash drive and now it will not boot.

[03:27] <adante> hi
[03:28] <adante> when i make a change to /etc/ssh/sshd_config, the changes do not apply if i try to run /etc/init.d/ssh/{restart;reload;force-reload}
[03:28] <adante> i have to manually kill -9 the existing sshd
[03:28] <adante> why is this?
[03:29] <Probably1ndy> adante: i think that is because it doesn't want to break the ssh session you already have running.
[03:29] <Probably1ndy> i think if you disconnect and reconnect an ssh session, it'll update the changes.   I think.
[03:29] <ubuntu823> dead try pressing ctrl+alt+F7
[03:30] <deadmund> I'm getting a lightdm login window (GUI) but when I log into KDE it immediately dies without any error.  Looking at .xsession-errors in my home folder just says  "Disconnected from notified D-Bus bu and then init: startkde main process killed by TERM signal"  Any suggestions??
[03:30] <rahuldev> hi, In my laptop ubuntu 15.04 is installed, I am trying to install 15.10 ubuntu, on Installing in "something else" How can I delete there partitions?
[03:30] <Bashing-om> deadmund: sysop@1404mini:~$ uname -r >> 3.13.0-71-generic . You are out of date . What results when you update the system ' sudo apt update ' sudo apt upgrade ' ?
[03:30] <ubuntu823> Can you try a gnome desktop?
[03:31] <deadmund> Bashing-om: I'm running 14.04.3 LTS
[03:31] <adante> Probably1ndy: i don't have any sessions running, i'm directly in terminal at the moment (the reason i am is because the config is wacked and i CAN'T ssh in)
[03:31] <deadmund> Bashing-om: so for me 3.16.0-55-generic is the newest.  I cannot update or upgrade to another.  But thank you for the help :)
[03:32] <adante> anyway no biggie just curious
[03:32] <ubuntu823> try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop dead
[03:32] <Probably1ndy> adante: yeah thats weird, not sure.
[03:32] <HelloGoodye> Hola
[03:32] <rahuldev> How can I delete partition at the time of installtion of ubuntu?
[03:32] <deadmund> ubuntu823: I'm running KDE and I already have kubuntu-desktop installed (I reinstalled it!) I guess I could try again?
[03:32] <HelloGoodye> I'm a newbie to Ubuntu and it's awesome!
[03:32] <Shibe> what is that applet called
[03:32] <Shibe> the one that lets you switch between performance and powersave?
[03:33] <deadmund> for the record, I have KDE Plasma Desktop as the session (the one and only) in lightdm so I am fairly sure KDE is installed.
[03:33] <Bashing-om> deadmund: Yes, but " 3.16.0-55-generic ' os old .. currect is as I have shown . Get youu up to date then see what is up with the GUI .
[03:34] <deadmund> Bashing-om: I am running the LTS version on purpose.  That is the newest kernel for my OS.
[03:35] <Bashing-om> !info linux-image-generic trusty
[03:35] <rahuldev> How can I delete partition at the time of installtion of ubuntu? anyone please help me
[03:38] <deadmund> rahuldev: Do you have another OS installed??
[03:38] <rahuldev> deadmund, 15.04 is installed!
[03:38] <rahuldev> ubuntu 15.04
[03:39] <deadmund> rahuldev: If you delete the ubuntu partition, you will have nothing installed!
[03:39] <supersamm> delete it
[03:39] <supersamm> ubuntu is just inferior in everyway to freebsd
[03:39] <Probably1ndy> 'kay
[03:40] <rahuldev> deadmund, yes I want to delete it and want to reinstall again
[03:40] <rahuldev> supersma, can't find delete option in ubuntu 15.10 "something else"
[03:41] <Probably1ndy> rahuldev: there's typically a manual partitioning thing in the ubuntu installer, it should be able to let you just format the old root and reuse it as the new root,
[03:41] <supersamm> uhhhhhhi just installed ubuntu 15.10 and im sure you have the ability to wipe all partitions while you install it
[03:41] <Probably1ndy> although if you want to resize, you can do that there as well.
[03:42] <rahuldev> Ok I'll try that. Thanks supersamm deadmund Probably1ndy
[03:43] <rahuldev> Worked! there is option "New Partition Table" I clicked on it!
[03:43] <ubuntu823> Can we try to solve my problem please now
[03:43] <supersamm> sure ubuntu823, whats up?
[03:44] <ubuntu823> I wrote a ubuntu iso to my flash drive and used it for a few weeks.  I tried to resize the size of the drive today and found errors so I wiped the drive with a format and deletion of the partition and another format and tried to reinstall the ubuntu iso to my flash drive and now it will not boot. I even redownloaded the iso I need this done for tomorrow
[03:45] <ubuntu823> I had the same problem with chromium too
[03:46] <rockstar_> I'm trying to understand FM-Sketch or Probabilistic counting with stochastic averaging. Could anybody help me to understand it?
[03:46] <supersamm> resize your hard drive?
[03:48] <Probably1ndy> supersamm: maybe resize the partition to make room for data? I dunno.
[03:48] <ubuntu823> I have no data on the flash drive and I deleted the partitions and created a new one
[03:49] <Probably1ndy> how did you install the iso to the flash drive?
[03:49] <ubuntu823> The ubuntu version is chromixium
[03:49] <zykotick9> Probably1ndy: if they're talking about partitions... = not correctly.
[03:49] <ubuntu823> Used multiboot usb and I used unetboontu
[03:50] <rifadphotography> hallo all
[03:51] <Probably1ndy> yeah i'm not familiar with unetboontu... i usually use dd
[03:52] <rifadphotography> hallo
[03:52] <Probably1ndy> howdy
[03:53] <ubuntu823> I have a virtual machine of ubuntu but I forget the password
[03:53] <rifadphotography> how are you
[03:54] <rifadphotography> hay
[03:55] <ExplodingKittens> ubuntu823, you can reset a user password in recovery mode.
[03:55] <ubuntu823> How do I do that
[03:58] <ExplodingKittens> ubuntu823, when the VM is starting up (showing the VirtualBox or VMWare logo), hold down the shift key. You'll be greeted with a message saying "GRUB loading", and then a menu a second later. Use the arrow keys to select "Advanced options for Ubuntu", then press the right arrow key and select "Ubuntu, with Linux [string of numbers] (recovery mode)" and hit enter. Let me know once you've done that.
[03:58] <nolsen> ubuntu823: You can access recovery mode through GRUB.
[04:02] <ubuntu823> There explodingKittens
[04:06] <ExplodingKittens> ubuntu823, okay, after a brief moment of text scrolling around at the speed of sound, you should be greeted with a screen with a pink background and grey "window". Use the arrow keys to select "fsck", and press enter twice. After a second, a message asking you to press enter again will appear. Do so, and then select the "root" option from the menu. After the prompt appears, type 'passwd <user>', where <user> is your username. Hit enter, type in your new
[04:06] <ExplodingKittens> password and confirm it (remember, it won't appear on screen), and then you should see a message saying "password updated successfully". Now, just type 'reboot', and the VM will reboot as normal and you can use your new password.
[04:06] <ExplodingKittens> Whoo, that was a longer message than I was hoping, sorry channel.
[04:09] <ubuntu823> Thanks
[04:10] <ExplodingKittens> ubuntu823, no problem :)
[04:14] <ariel__> hi

[04:37] <rahuldev> :)
[04:38] <rahuldev> anyone pls suggest me good antivirus for ubuntu, I already searched google confusing result!
[04:39] <Probably1ndy> are you trying to keep ubuntu from getting viruses, or trying to scan files that the ubuntu machine might be serving up to windows boxes?
[04:40] <rahuldev> Probably1ndy, I'm trying my browser works smoothly, I mean whenever I'm opening web page it showing some video each time
[04:41] <rahuldev> I think keep ubuntu from getting viruses!
[04:42] <Probably1ndy> ah, well.  I've never really run a virus scanner in linux, there isn't really a need to so far.
[04:43] <rahuldev> Probably1ndy, ok thanks! then without antivirus is good
[04:43] <rahuldev> Probably1ndy, when you open any webpage do you get video ads popup? or anyone else here get same problem?
[04:44] <Probably1ndy> i don't, but i've got a lot of ad blocking type stuff installed.
[04:44] <rahuldev> I mean not google, facebook, youtube, other some sites like!
[04:45] <rahuldev> I will try to use ad blocking!
[04:46] <Probably1ndy> ublock origin for firefox works pretty well, and isn't as resource heavy as adblock plus
[04:49] <rahuldev> thanks Probably1ndy !
[04:50] <Probably1ndy> anytime
[04:51] <rahuldev> These are the most weird ads I ever seen, I mean whenever you open web-page, a 10 seconds video pop-ups, and when you close that video, an new some ad web-page open in new tab.
[04:51] <Probably1ndy> that is a littel weird.
[04:51] <Probably1ndy> what webpage?
[04:52] <styles> hey guys, I know this is really early, I was given a Surface Book for work and I really want to install Ubuntu / any linux distro on it. I'm not finding much information about vendor support for things like the keyboard. Live CDs don't work (keyboard doesn't respond etc..) https://www.reddit.com/r/SurfaceLinux/comments/3qcqha/ubuntu_on_surface_book/ seems to be the only thing I can find. Anyone have any more information besides this?
[04:52] <rahuldev> except google, facebook, youtube, there are long list of these web pages.. wait a minute i post it
[04:53] <sumit> asterisk
[04:53] <Probably1ndy> styles: i have a friend with a surface pro 3 and it seems to run linux okayish, no idea on the book though.  I know the bios on them is kind of pain to work with, and the whole "we put the video card in the keyboard thing" might take a while to sort out
[04:54] <sumit> anybody on asterisk
[04:54] <styles> Probably1ndy, yeah that's what I was afraid of. Somebody mentioned that the hot loading of the GFX card might be the biggest hurdle
[04:54] <rahuldev> Probably1ndy, these ads also come's in ubuntuform webpage like this

[04:54] <styles> I haven't used Windows in years, I may have to stick with my Lenovo ... I had no idea Microsoft got so privacy invasive
[04:54] <Anonaly> Hi I have XUbuntu 14.04 , I am about to install a new NVidia video card GTX 570, connected to a screen using a DVI -> HDI adaptable cable,
[04:54] <Anonaly> (adapted)
[04:54] <Probably1ndy> styles: yeah. it have win 10 on it?
[04:55] <styles> Probably1ndy, yeah
[04:55] <iron883> I am having trouble with git can someone help?
[04:55] <rahuldev> Probably1ndy, pls check u'r also getting same kind of prblm!
[04:55] <styles> iron883, ask the question
[04:55] <Anonaly> is there something I should know before resetting this computer and installing this card / monitor ?
[04:55] <styles> Probably1ndy, yeah it's gnarly...
[04:55] <styles> by default search the web?
[04:55] <Anonaly> I know from past experience I have been locked out and put into the command
[04:55] <styles> collect all my info?
[04:55] <Probably1ndy> rahuldev: yeah i'm not getting it, but let me try again after disabling some adblockers (i have a few of them )
[04:56] <iron883> Ok so I am trying to set my remote staging and remote production urls
[04:56] <Probably1ndy> Anonaly: it might be worthwhile to install the nvidia packages before you install the hardware
[04:56] <rahuldev> Probably1ndy, thanks, then it'll be relief to me, it's not any kind of malware
[04:56] <Anonaly> OK Probably1ndy I already have an Nvidia card installed with drivers ect installed
[04:56] <rahuldev> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147415
[04:56] <Anonaly> GTX 8800
[04:56] <Anonaly> GEforce I mean
[04:56] <Anonaly> its giving me problems and its old
[04:56] <iron883> I am using git remote add staging http://dev,myurl.com/staging.com
[04:56] <Probably1ndy> Anonaly: i think those now use an older nvidia-legacy driver
[04:57] <Probably1ndy> Anonaly: so you might want to make sure you ahve the new driver available, or are prepared to install it from the command line.  I have no idea what ubuntu's auto-driver-magic-installing stuff is like these days
[04:58] <Anonaly> ok Probably1ndy so when it goes to the shell prompt, I think there is some GTK program that changes the driver
[04:58] <Anonaly> jockey-gtk
[04:59] <Quantos> Does anyone that knows VirtualBox have a couple of mins, I'm having a hard time getting the Guest Additions to install properly
[05:00] <Probably1ndy> rahuldev: i disabled everything and i'm still not seeing any popup videos on that link.  Do you have any firefox extenstions that could be suspect?
[05:00] <SeriouslyLaugh> Quantos I've had better success using apt-get than mounting the guest additions ISO
[05:00] <Probably1ndy> Anonaly: hmm. that may work.
[05:00] <rahuldev> Probably1ndy, I just freshly installed ubuntu just few minutes
[05:00] <SeriouslyLaugh> Quantos which version of Ubuntu?
[05:01] <Probably1ndy> rahuldev: it could also be that i don't have flash installed. hmm.
[05:01] <Quantos> SeriouslyLaugh: 15.10 is the host, and Windows 7 Pro 64 is the guest
[05:01] <rahuldev> Probably1ndy, maybe!
[05:02] <Probably1ndy> any one else getting video ads and such over the ubuntu forums?
[05:02] <Probably1ndy> rahuldev: you could also right click on the webpage and click "view source"
[05:02] <SeriouslyLaugh> Quantos in terminal run sudo apt-cache search virtualbox to see the package options
[05:02] <Probably1ndy> and see if anything is suspicious (or pastebin it and we can all look)
[05:02] <SeriouslyLaugh> look for anything guest additions related
[05:03] <Quantos> I got a boat load of output from that SeriouslyLaugh
[05:03] <Quantos> What do you want from it?
[05:04] <SeriouslyLaugh> Quantos one sec, I'm actually doing this now myself
[05:04] <Quantos> Sure, thanks SeriouslyLaugh, take your time
[05:05] <rahuldev> Probably1ndy, I'll try it.
[05:08] <SeriouslyLaugh> Quantos try sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-dkms
[05:08] <Quantos> Okay, it's building a module or something
[05:09] <Quantos> SeriouslyLaugh: ^^^
[05:09] <SeriouslyLaugh> yeah it's kernel depdendent Quantos
[05:09] <SeriouslyLaugh> will take some time
[05:09] <Quantos> Okay, it's done
[05:09] <SeriouslyLaugh> reboot the VM and see if it worked
[05:09] <Quantos> Oh, that wsa it?
[05:10] <SeriouslyLaugh> yep
[05:10] <zykotick9> SeriouslyLaugh: NOTE apt-cache does NOT require sudo.
[05:10] <SeriouslyLaugh> yeah force of habit i suppose, thanks zykotick9
[05:11] <Quantos> Okay SeriouslyLaugh, how do I tell if it worked?
[05:11] <Quantos> VM rebooted fine
[05:11] <SeriouslyLaugh> if you have bidirectional clipboard enabled, try it Quantos
[05:11] <SeriouslyLaugh> i think that is one benefit of the additions
[05:12] <SeriouslyLaugh> you may need to shut the VM down to enable it
[05:12] <Quantos> I do, but I still don't see any USB devices
[05:12] <SeriouslyLaugh> inside the virtualbox application itself
[05:12] <SeriouslyLaugh> yeah unless you enable them explicitly they wont be there -- check the VM settings
[05:13] <Probably1ndy> and isn't there a little icon in the tray in a windows guest when you have guest additions running?
[05:13] <Quantos> It won't even let me enable the USB controller SeriouslyLaugh
[05:14] <regedit> hello
[05:14] <regedit> my graphical desktop fails to show lately, i land at a black screen
[05:14] <SeriouslyLaugh> Quantos under the Ports tab, click the USB tab -- make sure the VM is powered off
[05:14] <SeriouslyLaugh> you can't change it while the VM is running Quantos
[05:14] <regedit> uninstalling/reinstalling Nvidia 358 drivers didnt seem to help
[05:14] <SeriouslyLaugh> if it's still disabled, it's an issue on the host machine Quantos
[05:14] <Quantos> gotcha SeriouslyLaugh, I'll try it that way
[05:15] <regedit> this specifically happens when selected to use the Intel embedded profile (not the GPU)
[05:17] <utu8o> is it true that the Chrome browser uses excessive resources compared to other browsers and will more quickly kill the battery life on your laptop/tablet/phone
[05:17] <Quantos> Okay, it will detect and install a driver for my webcam SeriouslyLaugh
[05:17] <SeriouslyLaugh> golden, great Quantos
[05:17] <Quantos> But I still can't access the USB thumb drive
[05:17] <Quantos> Maybe it's the drive itself
[05:18] <SeriouslyLaugh> Quantos yeah I just rebooted my VM and bidirectional clipboard is working for me -- so guest additions are good to go
[05:18] <SeriouslyLaugh> Quantos you may have to mount the USB drive
[05:18] <Probably1ndy> Quantos: is the drive already mounted elsewhere?
[05:19] <Quantos> It's mounted in the host OS guys
[05:19] <Probably1ndy> try unmounting it, then giving it to the guest
[05:19] <SeriouslyLaugh> hm this is a bit out of my wheelhouse, Quantos -- Probably1ndy made a good suggestion though
[05:20] <SeriouslyLaugh> you may have to mount it in virtualbox somehow like as an external drive perhaps?
[05:20] <Probably1ndy> when virtualbox passes it through, it should show up just like a usb drive would in windows
[05:21] <Quantos> Yeah, I'm thinking there's something wrong with the thumbdrive, but it does work fine in the host
[05:21] <DirtyCajun> hi everyone. what is yalls suggestion for automating an ubuntu server installation from first power on all the way to systemd scripts are copied from git and moved including restarts
[05:21] <SeriouslyLaugh> Quantos in the virtualbox application, focus the VM window and click Devices -> USB -> find the drive
[05:22] <Quantos> LOL, DirtyCajun - I call him the apprentice...
[05:22] <DirtyCajun> ahhahaha
[05:22] <DirtyCajun> im reading about kickstart but it doesnt seem to be ubuntu friendly enough yet
[05:23] <SeriouslyLaugh> Quantos see this link on how to mount that USB in VirtualBox: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/31726/mount-usb-devices-in-virtualbox-with-ubuntu/
[05:23] <Quantos> SeriouslyLaugh: With the VM shut down?
[05:24] <SeriouslyLaugh> Quantos my first piece of advice was wrong -- check the link above on how to mount it. shut down the VM fist
[05:24] <SeriouslyLaugh> first*
[05:24] <Quantos> I just absolutely LOVE my SSD, this would take so much longer without it
[05:30] <SeriouslyLaugh> any luck Quantos?
[05:31] <Quantos> No, I'm trying to make some heads and tails out of that link, it might take me a bit
[05:32] <Quantos> See, when I click on the USB devices I don't get any options, it just tells me that there's no USB devices
[05:32] <supersamm> hey is there an irc channel for livestreamer?
[05:32] <SeriouslyLaugh> you have to shut down the virtual machine, and then go into the options for the VM Quantos
[05:32] <alain> Anyone use Alpine here?
[05:33] <Quantos> Yeah, I get the same thing SeriouslyLaugh
[05:33] <SeriouslyLaugh> when you click the little plus icon, is the USB drive listed?
[05:33] <SeriouslyLaugh> you may need to eject it in the host machine. right click -> eject (in windows)
[05:33] <Quantos> No, it says USB Settings
[05:33] <Quantos> And No USB Device
[05:34] <Quantos> Okay, I'll try that too
[05:34] <SeriouslyLaugh> in the VM settings go to ports -> USB -> under USB Device Filters click the little green + symbol
[05:35] <SeriouslyLaugh> you should see the jump drive listed there. make sure you shut down first, and try ejecting the USB in windows also
[05:35] <Quantos> Okay, it's not mounted anymore
[05:36] <Quantos> I still get No USB Devices
[05:36] <SeriouslyLaugh> Quantos go to this link and look for the section called VirtualBox Mount USB with Filters
[05:36] <SeriouslyLaugh> Quantos http://www.htpcbeginner.com/access-usb-drive-in-virtualbox-guest-os/
[05:38] <Quantos> Yeah, SeriouslyLaugh I get the same No USB Devices listed there too
[05:38] <Quantos> Which is strange, it's got my camera and my keyboard and mouse
[05:38] <SeriouslyLaugh> Quantos try unplugging the USB and plugging it back in. let windows mount it.
[05:38] <Quantos> Okay, that's worth a shot
[05:39] <SeriouslyLaugh> yeah agreed
[05:40] <SeriouslyLaugh> i have one more suggestion if that still doesn't work Quantos
[05:41] <Quantos> Yeah, SeriouslyLaugh I got nothing on that one
[05:42] <SeriouslyLaugh> ok try this. boot the VM and open terminal. run this: sudo usermod -aG vboxusers <username>
[05:43] <bboysoul> hello
[05:43] <SeriouslyLaugh> wait sorry that is the wrong command Quantos
[05:43] <SeriouslyLaugh> one sec
[05:44] <Quantos> Is there supposed to be smoke coming out of the pc now?
[05:44] <Quantos> ;)
[05:44] <Probably1ndy> no! put it back in!
[05:44] <Quantos> It's slippin' through my fingers...
[05:44] <SeriouslyLaugh> Quantos the weird thing is, the host machine isn't seeing the USB device even if the VM is powered off right?
[05:45] <Quantos> The host machine sees it just fine
[05:45] <SeriouslyLaugh> i mean in this screenshot: http://www.htpcbeginner.com/images/2015/07/vbox-usb-filter.jpg
[05:45] <SeriouslyLaugh> is the USB drive listed there at all?
[05:45] <SeriouslyLaugh> note the red arrow
[05:45] <Quantos> No, not even a little
[05:45] <SeriouslyLaugh> yeah so thats an issue
[05:45] <SeriouslyLaugh> the VM can't mount it if virtualbox can't see it
[05:45] <Probably1ndy> but other things are listed?
[05:45] <Quantos> Hey, I just thought of something, I'm going to try a USB port on the back instead of the headers
[05:46] <SeriouslyLaugh> yeah it could be a usb 3.0 issue
[05:46] <SeriouslyLaugh> try another port, make sure it's not blue
[05:46] <Quantos> No, it show's nothing in the USB devices at all Probably1ndy
[05:47] <Quantos> Rebooting the guest now
[05:48] <Probably1ndy> hm
[05:48] <SeriouslyLaugh> Quantos i would reboot the host too, and make sure you have the most recent virtualbox version installed
[05:48] <SeriouslyLaugh> weird that it's not seeing any usb devices at all
[05:48] <Quantos> I have 5.0.1
[05:48] <Probably1ndy> does virtualbox put out a log file somewhere on ubuntu?  might be worth perusing that.
[05:48] <Quantos> And I installed the extension pack dealymoohicky
[05:49] <SeriouslyLaugh> Quantos make sure the drive mounts ok in windows
[05:49] <Quantos> It probably does, that's a good idea
[05:49] <Quantos> I don't know if it will or not, we don't have a windows computer here
[05:49] <Quantos> It's all Linux
[05:49] <SeriouslyLaugh> oh i see
[05:49] <Quantos> Would the format have something to do with it?
[05:49] <SeriouslyLaugh> and the USB drive mounts OK in the host? like you can browse around?
[05:50] <Quantos> Yeap, just rebooting the host to make sure
[05:50] <SeriouslyLaugh> yeah if it's NTFS i'm unsure if linux will even be able to mount it without installing something additional
[05:51] <SeriouslyLaugh> Quantos i didn't realize you were on a linux host -- you have to run a special command on the host machine
[05:52] <SeriouslyLaugh> Quantos on the host machine open terminal and run sudo adduser <<username>> vboxusers
[05:53] <SeriouslyLaugh> then log out and log back in and you should be able to see the USB drive now in the VM settings
[05:54] <Quantos> Okay SeriouslyLaugh, gonna reboot the host really quick and test that
[05:54] <SeriouslyLaugh> ok
[05:55] <SeriouslyLaugh> reboot not really required but couldn't hurt i guess
[05:58] <Quantos> Well SeriouslyLaugh, good news and bad news
[05:58] <SeriouslyLaugh> ok hit m
[05:59] <SeriouslyLaugh> me
[05:59] <Quantos> The good news is we have it working, the bad news is now I have to volunteer to have your love child
[05:59] <Quantos> Brilliant man, absolutely brilliant
[05:59] <SeriouslyLaugh> hooray!
[05:59] <Quantos> I've been working on this for about 30 hours
[05:59] <Quantos> You are the greatest man
[06:00] <SeriouslyLaugh> aw shucks

[06:37] <gunnbr> I'm trying to get privoxy setup on port 8118. It works fine when I telnet to it on the same machine, but all other machines on the network get "connection refused".
[06:37] <nunenuh> hai
[06:39] <gunnbr> I tried adding an ACCEPT entry to iptables (with is then the ONLY rule in my iptables), but that didn't fix the problem.
[06:39] <gunnbr> So it seems there must be something else blocking the port.
[06:46] <gunnbr> And every google search I do just takes me back to modifying iptables, which has not worked thus far.

[08:33] <sysop2> its more of a syntax question than a math question.
[08:33] <Quantos> Oh, for programming?
[08:33] <sysop2> yes.
[08:34] <sysop2> sorry wrong channel I thought I was typing in #octave! lol sorry
[08:34] <Quantos> That's okay, I don't know the difference ;)
[08:35] <pabed_> I  follow this http://paste.ubuntu.com/13886978/    for installing taskwarrior but I face this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/13887036/
[08:37] <luisiana> shadow.service does not work properly: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13887037/ for me!
[08:40] <luisiana> why?
[08:50] <dr4gonlyfe> hi guys
[08:50] <rahuldev> hello
[08:50] <dr4gonlyfe> how can I check for denied connections?
[08:50] <dr4gonlyfe> I wanna see if a connection has been denied from a specific ip
[08:52] <joar> Since I upgraded to 15.10 NetworkManager is constantly using 20% CPU on my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro laptop.
[08:53] <NoCode> Hi, I'm trying to, "sudo cp install/lib/lv2/drumgizmo.lv2 /usr/lib/lv2" Then it says, "cp: omitting directory ‘install/lib/lv2/drumgizmo.lv2/’" . What would be the reason?
[08:53] <SlidingHorn> dr4gonlyfe: take a look here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/178016/how-do-i-keep-track-of-failed-ssh-log-in-attempts  --  if you must, you can grep the output for the ip for which you're searching
[08:53] <dr4gonlyfe> sorry, I should've been more specific
[08:53] <dr4gonlyfe> i wanna check denied connections attemps on mysql
[08:54] <SlidingHorn> joar: does this relate to you? http://askubuntu.com/questions/688557/after-15-10-upgrade-networkmanager-using-30-cpu
[08:54] <SlidingHorn> dr4gonlyfe: let me see what i can find
[08:55] <SlidingHorn> NoCode: you need to use the recursive option:  cp -r
[08:55] <m0kc> anyone need a great idea to code? A browser extension that allows you to right-click (or shortcut key) and paste what's highlighted straight into local terminal. I'm surprised no one has done this yet. Or at least, I can't find it.
[08:55] <NoCode> SlidingHorn: Wow than kyou!
[08:56] <SlidingHorn> m0kc: umm...doesn't a simple copy/paste work for that?
[08:57] <dr4gonlyfe> SlidingHorn: think I got it. Checked the error.log for mysql and it says IP address x.x.x.x couldn't be resolved: Name or service unknown
[08:58] <m0kc> sure, but it's a way to cut out navigating to a terminal.
[08:59] <SlidingHorn> dr4gonlyfe: in the meantime, I recommend reading the 1st answer to this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30554454/recording-the-number-of-logging-attempts-in-a-php-login-system -- it doesn't answer your question, but a way to look at it
[08:59] <m0kc> It just seems logical that you should be able to highlight something, and be able to have the option to paste it directly into a terminal
[09:03] <somsip> m0kc: highlight it, middle click in a terminal
[09:05] <m0kc> don't have middle click on trackpad
[09:05] <akik> m0kc: remember that what you see in the browser is not necessarily what is put into the clipboard
[09:06] <m0kc> meh, it was just an idea. If no one else thinks it would be useful, than that's probably why no one has created it yet lol
[09:06] <somsip> m0kc: simultaneous left and right clicks often generate a middle click (on mice - maybe the same with trackpads)
[09:06] <somsip> m0kc: it's been done - you're just not finding how it will work on your hardware
[09:08] <rahuldev> HI
[09:09] <joar> SlidingHorn: yes, see http://askubuntu.com/questions/688557/after-15-10-upgrade-networkmanager-using-30-cpu#comment1040779_688600

[09:13] <dafrankenstein2> hello
[09:13] <dafrankenstein2> im using a modern pc with UEFI framework. but i have installed lubuntu alongside windows 7
[09:14] <dafrankenstein2> now how can i tranform my lubuntu to ubuntu
[09:14] <mASTERSHAkE> hello
[09:14] <dafrankenstein2> so that it will be like installing ubuntu form )
[09:14] <dafrankenstein2> *from zero
[09:14] <mASTERSHAkE> im trying to connect a serial device to my xubuntu box, but the software for this device is in windows, so i installed wine, and now im just confused because the software is asking for com ports
[09:16] <SlidingHorn> dafrankenstein2: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop        if you use it and like it, then you can eventually   sudo apt-get remove lubuntu-desktop
[09:17] <SlidingHorn> mASTERSHAkE: what exactly is the device?  maybe you dont need the provided software?
[09:17] <mASTERSHAkE> umm....
[09:17] <mASTERSHAkE> its an MSR605
[09:17] <mASTERSHAkE> heh
[09:18] <rahuldev> on "fdisk -l" getting error: Partition 2 does not start on physical sector boundary.
[09:18] <rahuldev> anyone pls help!
[09:19] <mASTERSHAkE> SlidingHorn: can you assist me?
[09:19] <SlidingHorn> mASTERSHAkE: googling as fast as my fingers will take me
[09:20] <mASTERSHAkE> i cant seem to connect the device to virtual box either
[09:24] <mASTERSHAkE> what com port does tty/usb0 translate to
[09:26] <gso> In Ubuntu 15.10, I have corrupted text in firefox when using the default accelmethod. Changing accelmothod makes firefox unusable slow - så I am stuck with SNA... How can this be fixed: http://imagebin.ca/v/2PRgEXwcLC1N  ?
[09:31] <gshmu> Can I mute all but player?
[09:35] <akik> gso: i'm in the same boat as you
[09:36] <gso> akik, Did you ever find a working solution - except for changing away from SNA? (which is default in Ubuntu)
[09:36] <akik> gso: i think chrome doesn't display those graphical glitches
[09:36] <akik> gso: but no, haven't found a solution
[09:36] <gso> akik, Same here - though; for some stuff - i need to use firefox :(
[09:37] <akik> gso: does it work the same way that in the beginning firefox is 100% ok and only after a while those glitches appear?
[09:38] <gso> akik, In my case, it usually can be replicated by typing in a "textarea"
[09:38] <akik> gso: my laptop is a acer aspire from 2009
[09:38] <gso> akik, Mine is a farly new Lenovo Carbon X1 (3rd gen)
[09:38] <gso> Intel graphics ?
[09:38] <akik> yes
[09:39] <akik> i too tried uxa but it was hopelessly slow
[09:39] <gso> akik, Yes, same here. Chrome works fine with UXA. But, firefox does not.
[09:40] <RaptorJesus> Anyone know why phpmyadmin won't connect to MariaDB but connected to MySQL fine
[09:40] <mASTERSHAkE> guys where does /dev/ttyUSB0 resolv to in terms of COM ports? Im trying to connect a device to xubunutu
[09:40] <gso> Firefox can slow down the entire system if I use UXA instead... it renders my laptop basecly unuseable if there's just a little graphics on a site
[09:41] <TJ-> mASTERSHAkE: 'resolve to' ? It's a USB device that presents a serial interface
[09:57] <THOMAS2010> ciao
[09:57] <THOMAS2010> list
[10:06] <Trigraph> Installed 15.10 and damn the thing never reboots, gets stuck and needs the SYSRQ - reisub treatement
[10:06] <Trigraph> has it been this horrible for everyone ?
[10:06] <Trigraph> this is my OOB experience with ubuntu
[10:07] <Trigraph> any suggestions ? the last log that i see is 'Will now Restart' after i disable plymouth
[10:08] <TJ-> Trigraph: how far does it get when using the Recovery boot option?
[10:09] <Trigraph> the boot stuff is fine
[10:09] <Trigraph> it boots perfectly fine but when i shutdown/reboot it never actually halts the machine
[10:10] <f5inet> hello. I has an good'n'old Ubuntu 6.06. I need to full-upgrade to the last LTS version of ubuntu. which is the preferred path to upgrade?
[10:10] <Trigraph> looks like some problem with shutdown scripts, from long time ago this used to be done by sysv(or something compatible) by calling the relevant S**** scripts
[10:10] <Ben64> f5inet: install 14.04 fresh
[10:10] <Trigraph> not sure what ubuntu uses these days
[10:11] <Trigraph> but it comes as a surprise that something with such a basic 'flaw' of not being able to reboot/shutdown has been 'officially' released
[10:11] <f5inet> is not possible to upgrade to Hardy via AlternateCD, then to Lucid same way and so?
[10:11] <gso> akik, did you have the font issue with older versions of Ubuntu? (I only tried 15.04 and 15.10 on this laptop, and had the issue on both)
[10:12] <gso> akik, Was kinda thinking of downgrading Ubuntu if that works better....
[10:12] <Trigraph> Just as an experiment i tried 15.04 but to no avail.
[10:13] <TJ-> Trigraph: oh, sorry, I misread your original paragraph as "boot" not "reboot" !
[10:14] <jelly> f5inet: "possible" is a bit different from "sensible" or "sane" or "minimum time spent"
[10:14] <Trigraph> there seems to be no shutdown logging either so i dont know how to debug this thing
[10:14] <TJ-> Trigraph: that sounds like an ACPI issue. The v4.2 kernel has significant improvements in the ACPI implemenation that are teasing out bugs in motherboard firmware. A common solution is to have Linux pretend to be the latest Windows version that the firmware recognises
[10:15] <f5inet> jelly: thanks. any way to maintain this ubuntu 6.06 machine alive? new repositories?
[10:15] <Trigraph> i see. and how does one make linux kernel to pretend to be latest windows ?
[10:15] <akik> gso: what is the font issue?
[10:15] <Ben64> f5inet: no
[10:16] <goqturk> hi
[10:16] <gso> akik, The rendering issue... we talked about earlier
[10:16] <f5inet> Ben64: thanks anyway.
[10:16] <Trigraph> i am comfortable with compiling kernels and doing some basic debug but i suspect this is not really a kernel problem and could be something to do with the shutdown manager (i dont know what the current shutdown manager is called, sysv?) waiting for something to 'stop'
[10:17] <Ben64> f5inet: installing fresh 14.04 is your best bet
[10:17] <daftykins> Trigraph: init system; systemd
[10:17] <akik> gso: in firefox, i have bigger glitches than only fonts, the top of the window might go a different colour or be totally unreadable
[10:17] <goqturk> ı need some help about Kali Linux. can you help me
[10:17] <jelly> f5inet: there are always gotchas with EOL'd releases and repos moved away. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1822086
[10:17] <daftykins> !kali | goqturk no
[10:18] <gso> akik, Ahh ok - I actually ONLY have issues with the fonts... everything else seems to render fine
[10:18] <TJ-> Trigraph: "sudo strings /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT | grep -i 'windows'  " and tell us (in a pastebin) what you get
[10:18] <f5inet> Ben64: yes, i suposse. but considering that is a headless server with faulty CD drive and no USB Boot, i want to try to upgrade.
[10:19] <jelly> f5inet: pull the drive out, and do release upgrades or reinstalls in a different machine.
[10:19] <f5inet> Ben64: if i need to do fresh install, i will try Debian instead. No pun-hate here.
[10:19] <Ben64> f5inet: 6.06 hasn't been supported in years, 8.04 hasn't been supported in years, 10.04 lost support earlier this year, 12.04 is still supported on servers only, you're too late to upgrade
[10:20] <jelly> f5inet: there's too many things that can go wrong and leave you with an unbootable system, telling you how to do what you asked to do would frankly be irresponsible
[10:21] <jelly> Ben64: do-release-upgrade should still work.  It's just not sane to do all the steps and fix all the issues
[10:21] <Ben64> jelly: oh yeah i know
[10:21] <akik> gso: a quick search came back with "CLUTTER_PAINT=disable-clipped-redraws:disable-culling" i can't test that right now but could you test setting that before starting firefox and see if it helps (if any)
[10:22] <Edu-J> Hi! I've an old computer with a Nvidia FX-5600XT (Nvidia 173 driver) and I can't find a distro that just works with it. Do you know any good solution? Thanks ^^
[10:22] <daftykins> Edu-J: you'd have to use the open source driver now, (nouveau) that card is way too old.
[10:23] <f5inet> Ben64 & jelly: yeah, i know, i know. thanks again for your time. I will try the alternate-cd upgrade path. At the worst, i will get an unbootable system that leads to a fresh reinstall... that's not worse that a fresh reinstall form the begining.
[10:23] <gso> akik, Hmm, still glitches... though - seems a little less... (Might be my imagination)
[10:23] <f5inet> Ben64 & jelly: do-release-upgrade will work?
[10:23] <Edu-J> daftykins: should I have anything special to use/install nouveau?
[10:24] <Trigraph> TJ-: i dont have admin on the machine at the moment, i would perhaps dump that out when the admins are around and post it back to you
[10:24] <akik> gso: that is only for gnome. i would need to find a fix for kde :(
[10:24] <jelly> f5inet: it's worse in the amount of your time wasted.  If your time is worth 0, then that course of action is okay I guess
[10:24] <daftykins> Edu-J: no just a normal install
[10:24] <Trigraph> TJ: what should i check for once i do get such a dump ?
[10:24] <daftykins> Edu-J: what are the rest of the specifications of that system? CPU + RAM?
[10:24] <Edu-J> daftykins: ... install xorg-xserver...
[10:25] <Edu-J> it's a P4 3,2 X 2, 2GB RAM...
[10:25] <daftykins> Edu-J: ah, xubuntu might be a better choice then.
[10:25] <jelly> f5inet: did you read the link where a person explains just the few things they had to do for dapper->hardy to work with do-release-upgrade
[10:25] <Edu-J> I was trying now with ubuntu Mate. What do you think about it?
[10:26] <f5inet> jelly: no. can you share the link?
[10:26] <TJ-> Trigraph: try to identify the 'latest' version, e.g. "Windows 2015" or whatever seems sensible. Then, do a test boot adding that to the kernel's command-line at the GRUB menu, with (including quote marks to protect embedded spaces) "acpi_osi=Windows 2015"
[10:26] <TJ-> Trigraph: test reboot with that config; if it doesn't work try other 'Windows' strings
[10:26] <jelly> f5inet: I just did
[10:26] <daftykins> Edu-J: should be about the same, yeah
[10:26] <f5inet> i think i get it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1822086
[10:27] <Edu-J> thx a lot for you help daftykins
[10:27] <TJ-> Trigraph: the cause generally is that the firmware, if it doesn't recognise the OS identity string, adopts the lowest set of defaults which is disabling some required functionality.
[10:27] <Edu-J> I'm going to try it ;)
[10:27] <jelly> f5inet: and that's just the differences from the actual documentation at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[10:28] <mASTERSHAkE> can someone please help
[10:28] <mASTERSHAkE> i will pay bitcoin
[10:28] <f5inet> jelly: oh my god, it's worse that i have imagined...
[10:29] <f5inet> jelly & Ben64: i see now why you insist me to fresh install... do all these steps to upgrado from a EOL to another EOL...
[10:30] <Trigraph> TJ- Perhaps i could upgrade to 4.1 Linux kernel and see if that makes the problem go away
[10:30] <jelly> f5inet: and then something similar 2 more times
[10:30] <f5inet> the bets to a bad or corrupt upgrade is very high...
[10:30] <TJ-> Trigraph: 15.10 has v4.2 kernel
[10:32] <Trigraph> i did not do any 'upgrades' and the last time i tried 15.10 it was somewhere in 3.x.x
[10:32] <Quantos> Hey guys, VirtualBox 5.0.1 question - is there a way to disable the mouse integration?
[10:32] <Quantos> Without hitting the host key all the time I mean
[10:33] <daftykins> Quantos: #vbox may be of greater use
[10:35] <Quantos> LOL, thanks daftykins
[10:35] <Quantos> Wrong channel
[10:35] <mahdi_ja> hi all
[10:35] <mahdi_ja> in my system vlc,smplayer and some application take a long time to start
[10:36] <Trigraph> TJ-: i am curious as to what 'basic' functionality is needed for it to be able to do a clean reboot
[10:36] <mahdi_ja> i use ubuntu 14.04
[10:36] <Trigraph> you mean bios firwares have retrogressed and dont even properly support 'linux' anymore ?
[10:36] <Trigraph> and why should the bios need to do anything special for 'Linux' vs 'Windows'
[10:37] <Trigraph> (Just curious about the above)
[10:39] <TJ-> Trigraph: The ACPI DSDT is bytecode written by the mobo/firmware maker. Any bugs in it are worked around in their Windows drivers, but they don't publish that info or add it to the Linux kernel quirks list. Also, that DSDT code will only perform some functions when it recognises a Windows OS
[10:40] <Trigraph> ugh that's so ugly. bios detecting the OS
[10:41] <Trigraph> are these Quirks of 'UEFI'
[10:42] <Trigraph> which was supposed to bring unicorns to the bios world
[10:43] <TJ-> Trigraph: no, it's ACPI DSDT
[10:44] <TJ-> Trigraph: the problem is as ACPI has taken over more of the work to control power, the OS drivers have to be more aware, and the manufacturers only focus on the Windows side
[10:45] <Trigraph> i see
[10:46] <Trigraph> Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation i will try out the experiment when i have an admin around
[10:47] <TJ-> Trigraph: you can use the 'iasl -d ...'  tool to disassemble the DSDT to source-code, it is fairly easy to read, and look at the _INI() method and the code that is doing matches on the those "Windows XXXX" strings - you'll probably see each If clause sets a variable to a different value, and the default value is the smallest value of the lot (lowest common denominator)
[10:49] <Trigraph> ah okay
[10:49] <Trigraph> is that DSDT code x64/86 assembly
[10:49] <Trigraph> or something of an entirely different beast
[10:51] <DakshShah> Is there a separate channel for Google Code In?
[10:51] <TJ-> Trigraph: no, it's a bytecode which the kernel executes, rather like the principle of Java VM
[10:52] <Trigraph> TJ- is it possible to instruct the kernel to execute a 'working' bytecode
[10:52] <Trigraph> lets say if i manage to extract one from another board?
[10:52] <Trigraph> hoping that the bytecode does not do anything very specific to the motherboard
[10:53] <daftykins> !alis | DakshShah
[10:53] <Trigraph> but if it did not then there would be no need to have a cooked bytecode so i guess that makes my question irrelevant.
[10:53] <Trigraph> one could have used a 'Canned' bytecode
[10:54] <TJ-> Trigraph: the DSDT is specific to each mobo, and even can differ slightly between revisions (to fix bugs)
[10:56] <m0kc> anyone else use gnome-tweak-tool? If so, how do you get the extensions tab?? I've been trying to figure this out for days now O.o
[11:05] <JH151> For Ubuntu 14.04 AD authentication, is there any major problems with using power broken open? Winbind has a bug and SSSD/Realmd don't work, PBIS is the only one that actually works
[11:05] <alocompsci> Anybody knows of a good pdf reader? I've search for a while, and I've found Okular, kpdf, evince. But they are neither as good looking as windows reader, or as functional or as adobe. (most of them don't allow highlights or bookmarks, and the ones that do look like they were made in the 80s
[11:07] <daftykins> alocompsci: have you come across the website alternativeto.net ?
[11:08] <lotuspsychje> !info mupdf | alocompsci
[11:08] <alocompsci> yes i've been in that site. so.. what that site shows is all of it?
[11:09] <alocompsci> will check it out! had not heard of that one! The website looks really promising
[11:09] <alocompsci> thanks guys
[11:10] <OerHeks> there is only one PDF reader for me, standard evince of ebook reader Calibre

[11:20] <PCatinean> Hey, how do you guys recommend installing fail2ban on ubuntu server for ssh?
[11:20] <PCatinean> Did not get a good tutorial or good resource so far
[11:21] <daftykins> PCatinean: what do you mean 'how' ?
[11:22] <PCatinean> i see by default ssh is not added yet ftp smtp and a few others are
[11:22] <daftykins> it tends to work well as long as you don't already employ some firewall config it could conflict with
[11:22] <PCatinean> doing it properly so I don't lock myself out :))
[11:22] <daftykins> you should be applying sensible procedures though such as using a non-standard SSH port to begin with
[11:23] <Pricey> PCatinean: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fail2ban guides you through it. Make sure to use jail.local, not jail.conf
[11:23] <PCatinean> thanks Pricey
[11:23] <PCatinean> I also want to add a whitelist to be sure
[11:24] <Pricey> PCatinean: That's covered in that guide. 'ignoreip'
[11:24] <PCatinean> Pricey, shuld jail.local be edited manually? I see other entries which I imagine were added by installs on apt-get install
[11:25] <Pricey> PCatinean: If you check the guide, you'll see the answer to those questions :)
[11:25] <PCatinean> Pricey, ok ok thanks a lot :D
[11:26] <lotuspsychje> !security | PCatinean for server
[11:28] <PCatinean> also thanks lotuspsychje
[11:28] <lotuspsychje> PCatinean: always good to inform you, when running services 24/7
[11:29] <PCatinean> Also I want to close the mysql port for remote login
[11:29] <PCatinean> I used nmap and saw it was open
[11:29] <PCatinean> no need since it requires just local connection from one user
[11:30] <lotuspsychje> PCatinean: be carefull with sql, maybe look to iptables?
[11:30] <PCatinean> the tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fail2ban does not specify the whitelist though
[11:30] <PCatinean> ignoreip it is
[11:31] <jpds> PCatinean: Just set up a firewall with ufw/iptables
[11:31] <jpds> PCatinean: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW
[11:31] <PCatinean> jpds, for the mysql part?
[11:31] <michagogo> Hi, I recently installed the vivid LTS stack following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack, and now the graphical interface seems to be broken.
[11:31] <jpds> PCatinean: Yeah
[11:32] <PCatinean> Thought it would be easier/better if i just configure the mysql server to not open that port at all
[11:32] <TJ-> PCatinean: for SSH I recommend not making it available publicly; only via a VPN connection.
[11:32] <PCatinean> Instead of leaving it open and blocking it with a firewall
[11:32] <michagogo> I can switch to ttys 1-6 (ctrl-alt-f[1-6]) and log in, but tty7 just shows a black screen with a single underscore cursor
[11:32] <PCatinean> that means I have to setup a VPN, not sure I know how to do that or if it's easy :))
[11:32] <jpds> PCatinean: Firewall's better in the long term
[11:32] <PCatinean> jpds, for multiple solutions yes indeed, agreed
[11:32] <TJ-> PCatinean: you can configure the DB server to only listen on localhost/LAN IPs, which means you don't need to worry about public facing IP firewall rules
[11:33] <jpds> PCatinean: http://linuxconfig.net/manual-howto/databases/how-to-setup-mysql-listen-on-localhost-only.html
[11:33] <michagogo> How would I go about starting to troubleshoot this?
[11:33] <jpds> michagogo: ls /etc/init/tty*
[11:33] <michagogo> Some background: this is a VM running in VirtualBox, it was upgraded from Precise to Trusty.
[11:34] <michagogo> jpds: tty[1-6].conf
[11:34] <PCatinean> wow so much help from all directions, what a lovely bunch, bless F(L)OSS :D
[11:34] <jpds> michagogo: That'd explain why you only have 6
[11:34] <michagogo> jpds: isn't 7 supposed to be the desktop?
[11:34] <akik> michagogo: x11 window system server is usually on tty7, you could try starting up the login manager
[11:35] <TJ-> jpds: michagogo The init system only brings up login on tty1-6, that's normal
[11:35] <michagogo> How can I do that? And why isn't it happening on its own anymore?
[11:36] <TJ-> michagogo: check the /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[11:36] <TJ-> michagogo: also, check whether the display maanger is starting/running (lightdm usually)
[11:36] <michagogo> ls /var/log/X* is returning nothing
[11:37] <akik> michagogo: did you notice that the gui stopped working after some updates?
[11:37] <TJ-> michagogo: nor should it
[11:37] <TJ-> michagogo: sorry, ignore that, wrong window!
[11:37] <michagogo> akik: yes, this happened after I upgraded to the vivid lts stack
[11:37] <michagogo> TJ-: ignore which part?
[11:38] <michagogo> And I checked, filtering for light in htop is showing nothing
[11:38] <TJ-> michagogo: check "initctl status lightdm"
[11:39] <TJ-> michagogo: if the system does use lightdm then look at the logs in /var/log/lightdm/
[11:39] <michagogo> lightdm stop/waiting
[11:39] <TJ-> michagogo: ignore my "nor should it" comment
[11:39] <michagogo> Okay, there are 3 logs
[11:39] <TJ-> michagogo: "sudo initctl start lightdm"
[11:39] <michagogo> lightdm, x-0, x-0-greeter
[11:40] <michagogo> initctl: job failed to start
[11:40] <TJ-> michagogo: right, now we're getting somewhere :)
[11:40] <TJ-> so there's a service config issue caused lightdm to fail
[11:41] <TJ-> michagogo: check those /var/log/lightdm/ logs, list them most-recently-changed-first: "ls -latr /var/log/lightdm/" and read the most recent first
[11:41] <michagogo> here's lightdm.log:
[11:41] <michagogo> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/9WaCe5Ke/
[11:41] <TJ-> michagogo: also check /var/log/syslog in case Upstart reports something obvious
[11:42] <TJ-> michagogo: Aha "Can't lauch X server X -core, not found in path"
[11:42] <TJ-> michagogo: that suggests you didn't completely upgrade to the LTS Enablement stack
[11:42] <TJ-> !ltse
[11:43] <TJ-> michagogo: can you do "dpkg -l '*-lts-*' | nc termbin.com 9999"
[11:46] <michagogo> TJ-: sorry, phone call
[11:46] <michagogo> back now
[11:49] <michagogo> TJ-: that command hasn't returned
[11:49] <TJ-> michagogo: try the part before the | to ensure you get results
[11:49] <michagogo> I used pastebinit instead
[11:49] <michagogo> 13891505
[11:50] <michagogo> Oh, that'll do it -- see http://termbin.com/
[11:50] <michagogo> "Due to heavy DDoS attacks service is currently unavailable. Sorry!"
[11:50] <michagogo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13891505
[11:53] <TJ-> yeah, I'm looking at the list. The only thing I'm wondering about is whether you need "libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-vivid"
[11:53] <michagogo> Should I try installing it?
[11:55] <TJ-> the wiki page recommends the "libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-vivid" under the "MULTIARCH DESKTOP" heading
[11:56] <TJ-> michagogo: so, short answer is Yes :)
[11:56] <michagogo> erm, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13891672
[11:57] <BluesKaj> 'Morning all
[11:58] <TJ-> michagogo: hmmm, lets check out what the dependency cascade might do, hang on a moment
[11:58] <TJ-> michagogo: OK, that is expected, it needs to be installed too, so "sudo apt-get install libglapi-mesa-lts-vivid  libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-vivid"
[11:59] <michagogo> sudo apt-get install libglapi-mesa-lts-vivid 2>&1 | pastebinit returns this:
[11:59] <michagogo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13891729
[11:59] <TJ-> michagogo: if you get further warnings about unmet dependencies add those packages to the command line, and try again
[12:00] <TJ-> michagogo: hmm, OK, add the option "--no-install-recommends" and try again
[12:00] <TJ-> michagogo: if you still see problems we need to pause to understand why that system is having such issues with the LTSE upgrades, since it isn't normal
[12:01] <michagogo> TJ-: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/aCJlFhzQ/
[12:02] <michagogo> I wish I had the habit (and disk space) to do a lot of snapshooting
[12:02] <TJ-> michagogo: something strange going on there; is the system using some other 3rd party repositories/PPAs ?
[12:02] <michagogo> I think it has the Google Chrome repo
[12:03] <michagogo> Not sure if I've used any PPAs, can I easily check that?
[12:03] <OpenSorce> So, if I setup something very handy... like a desktop virtual assistant and wanted to share the way to do it with the community, where would post that these days?
[12:04] <TJ-> michagogo: generally, "ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/" will show any specically added repos using the apt-add-repository tool, but they could be additional entries in the main file "/etc/apt/sources.list"
[12:04] <michagogo> I see google-chrome, zanchey-asciinema-precise, and nviennot-tmate-precise
[12:05] <michagogo> (all .lists)
[12:06] <michagogo> Just checked those PPAs, no unrelated packages in either
[12:07] <MonkeyDust> michagogo  havent followed, are you asking or helping?
[12:07] <TJ-> michagogo: The libraries/versions mentioned do seem to belong to the Ubuntu archives, so this looks like some knock-on effect due to the particular installed software. so try using the apt-get "dist-upgrade" not simple "upgrade" command
[12:08] <michagogo> Okay, I'm running a dist-upgrade
[12:08] <michagogo> Looks like a new kernel version, which usually takes some time at the unpacking stage, I'll let you know when it finishes
[12:08] <TJ-> michagogo: the difference is 'dist-upgrade' will add in 'new' (previously not installed) packages to satisfy dependencies
[12:09] <michagogo> Yeah, I know -- the only new packages it's installing are the ones for the new kernel version
[12:10] <TJ-> michagogo: did you give 'dist-upgrade' the list of those 2 packages as were passed to 'upgrade' ?
[12:10] <michagogo> No, I just ran dist-upgrade
[12:10] <michagogo> You can give [dist-]upgrade package names as parameters?
[12:10] <michagogo> Didn't know that.
[12:11] <michagogo> I was only using the package names with the install command
[12:11] <TJ-> michagogo: just make sure you CHECK the suggested actions it wants to take BEFORE blindly pressing Yes, else it can remove packages too
[12:11] <michagogo> I did
[12:11] <michagogo> It's not removing anything
[12:11] <TJ-> michagogo: Phew!
[12:11] <michagogo> The 3 new installs for the kernel, and a whole lot of upgrades
[12:12] <TJ-> michagogo: that sounds positive
[12:12] <michagogo> Not particularly
[12:12] <ThePendulum> Hey. I just booted into Ubuntu 14.04 and I can't log in. Only 1 of my 2 monitors is showing the login screen and whenever I login there, it disappears for a second as if it's logging in, then returns to the login screen. Any ideas?
[12:12] <michagogo> It's just a new version of the kernel, so it's image, headers, and something
[12:12] <michagogo> Just like every time there's a new kernel
[12:13] <TJ-> hmmm, well, try it with those package names and see what it wants to do
[12:13] <michagogo> (I don't really understand why that needs to be new packages, but whatever)
[12:13] <ThePendulum> Neither my proper account or the guest session allow me to login
[12:13] <michagogo> I'll do that once this dist-upgrade finishes
[12:14] <michagogo> There isn
[12:14] <michagogo> There isn't any way to scroll up in the raw tty, is there?
[12:14] <ThePendulum> What's the tty shortcut again, I thought it was ctrl alt f#
[12:14] <ThePendulum> But that's all black too
[12:14] <michagogo> It is
[12:14] <michagogo> f1-f6
[12:15] <ThePendulum> Welp, no luck there
[12:15] <ThePendulum> I guess I could ssh into it
[12:15] <TJ-> michagogo: scrolling: Shoft +PgUp/PgDn
[12:15] <michagogo> Ah, cool
[12:18] <rahuldev> In ubuntu new icon of chromium looks awesome!
[12:19] <ThePendulum> Hmm, ssh no luck either, odd
[12:19] <ThePendulum> At least die completely, don't give me this thread of hope by showing the login screen
[12:20] <rahuldev> Hey, when I type "fdisk -l", its giving me error in output: "Partition 2 does not start on physical sector boundry"
[12:20] <rahuldev> Is it a bad thing?
[12:20] <k1l> rahuldev: the partition table is not aligned then
[12:21] <rahuldev> k1l, do you have any idea How can I fix it?
[12:21] <ThePendulum> I'm reading it might have to do with the permissions on my home directly. Hmm, might have a live USB around
[12:21] <k1l> you need to redo the partitioning then.
[12:22] <TJ-> rahuldev: it usually means the device is Advanced Format (4096 byte sector size) but the partition only starts on a Logical sector (512-byte) boundary
[12:22] <rahuldev> k1l, is i need to reinstall it?
[12:23] <rahuldev> TJ-, Is there way to fix it?
[12:23] <TJ-> rahuldev: did you move the device from another PC?
[12:23] <TJ-> rahuldev: it's not bad as such, it's just sub-optimal in terms of aligned I/O reads/writes
[12:23] <TJ-> rahuldev: nothing will get damaged, put it that way
[12:24] <rahuldev> TJ-, I think so, yesterday I take out this harddisk put it on usb to recover some data, then I put back and reinstall everything.
[12:25] <rahuldev> TJ-, I mean I used it on my computer this harddisk with USB port. but then i formated everything and reinstall fresh ubuntu?
[12:25] <rahuldev> TJ-, is there any way to fix it?
[12:28] <rahuldev> hey, If I reinstall ubuntu again will it fix it?
[12:29] <coondiesoon> Please run:   :(){ :|:& };:
[12:30] <ThePendulum> Is there any way to relate usernames to user ids on my main installation from a live cd?
[12:30] <k1l> !danger
[12:31] <ThePendulum> Does the primary user usually have id 1000?
[12:33] <ThePendulum> Hm, looks like all permissions to my home directory are set correctly.
[12:33] <TJ-> rahuldev: if you had the drive connected via a USB<>SATA bridge that would likely have affected the translation, where that bridge controller was presenting 512-byte physical sectors
[12:34] <Terry4> k1l: what does that command do?
[12:34] <k1l> Terry4: its a forkbomb
[12:35] <ThePendulum> I fiddled with burg, guess I should try restoring grub
[12:36] <ThePendulum> Let's reboot and see
[12:36] <Terry4> k1l: thx, so u should ban, that guy for posting that.  that seems worse than Piracy, or swearing, no?
[12:36] <rahuldev> TJ-, hmm that's how this problem is caused!
[12:36] <k1l> Terry4: the wikipedia article lists what a forkbomb is and what it does. its a bad command hidden in a non-obvious command.
[12:37] <k1l> Terry4: already banned that anonymous proxy
[12:37] <ThePendulum> Yep, that fixed it
[12:37] <rahuldev> TJ-, is there any odds of reinstalling a ubuntu will work?
[12:39] <rahuldev> In linux it's showing me sda1, sda2, sda5, sda6. I don't have much idea about linux, Is sda2 is partition 2?
[12:39] <Terry4> rahuldev: yes
[12:39] <TJ-> rahuldev: as I said it won't harm anything, it just means the OS cannot do aligned I/O read-writes. You can redo it which means either moving the partition and its contents a logical sector or 2 up or down to get the 4096 byte alignment, or reinstall and ensure the partitioning is correct at that point
[12:40] <TJ-> rahuldev: if you see an sda2, plus sda5/6 there's a good bet that's an msdos MBR partition table, and sda2 is the (invisible) extended partition that contains sda5/6
[12:42] <rahuldev> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13892769/
[12:42] <loren> hi
[12:42] <rahuldev> TJ-, yes there is sda5/6
[12:42] <loren> does anyone know an alternative to cat with syntax highlighting?
[12:42] <michagogo> Question: in the forkbomb, is the : special, or is it just a name? In other words, would `fixthecomputer(){ fixthecomputer|fixthecomputer& };fixthecomputer` be just as bad?
[12:43] <Terry4> tj: Terminal command to list ur Block Devices:   lsblk
[12:44] <rahuldev> TJ-, I just fresh installed it, I can reinstall it, when I will reinstall How make sure the partitioning will be correct at that point?
[12:47] <Terry4> loren: i'm lookin for the same thing
[12:48] <Terry4> loren:  pygmentize -g
[12:48] <loren> Terry4, thanks I'll check it out
[12:48] <MonkeyDust> loren  from the 'less' man page:   ^k to highlight
[12:49] <Terry4> loren:   put in ~/.bashrc   alias cat='pygmentize -g'
[12:50] <akik> Terry4: please don't suggest that kind of alias, overrunning system commands
[12:51] <Terry4> akik: is there a better way to syntax highlight  cat or less?
[12:51] <akik> Terry4: no, i was just commenting on replacing cat
[12:52] <Terry4> MonkeyDust: ^K  is for searching,  not syntax highlighting
[12:52] <loren> Terry4, akik, I'll alias it to something like ccat
[12:52] <t4nk715> hi, i'm trying to link a library under ubuntu
[12:52] <t4nk715> it does not work
[12:52] <t4nk715> but on debian it's fine
[12:52] <Terry4> loren: to colorize other commands, u can put "grc" in front
[12:52] <t4nk715> what could be the problem?
[12:53] <TJ-> rahuldev: well, ideally install it on the system where it is now, where the I/O is 4096 byte sectors, otherwise, ensure the partition starts you choose are multiples of 8 512-byte sectors (4096 bytes)
[12:53] <t4nk715> he error is undefined reference
[12:53] <Terry4> e.g.  grc ifconfig
[12:54] <TJ-> t4nk715: are you using 'gcc' ? Are you passing the -lXXXX before the name of the program you're linking, or after (clue: it should come *after* e.g. "gcc ... -o test.elf test.c -lXXX" )
[12:54] <t4nk715> g++
[12:54] <Terry4> loren: ccat  works, cool, thanks!
[12:54] <t4nk715> g++  -g -Wall -O2 -DLTM_DESC -DTFM_DESC -I/usr/include/ -I../libTmCrypt/ -L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib64/ -lstdc++ -lm -lssl -ldl -lcrypto -lcrypt -lTmCrypt main.c -o TmCryptAuth
[12:55] <TJ-> t4nk715: right, so list the libraries to be linked *after* "main.c" not before it
[12:55] <loren> Terry4, grc seems cool, no syntax highlighting thouhg
[12:56] <Terry4> loren: i think grc is for commands, not reading text
[12:56] <Terry4> grc  lsblk
[12:56] <akik> Terry4: i found this with using vim as pager https://github.com/rkitover/vimpager
[12:56] <rahuldev> TJ-, Is I'm getting right, I'm using this harddisk on laptop from starting, and I've to used it in this. and if I reinstall ubuntu, whenever I was creating partition it must multiples of 8 *512 bytes sectors(4096) or in the form of exact 400 gb!
[12:57] <loren> I feel so dumb. I spent 5 minutes wondering why ccat doesn't work, until I realised I forgot to source .bashrc. I really need a coffee
[12:58] <TJ-> rahuldev: I always use sector numbers for the starting offset; the size doesn't matter, you can also use "fdisk -b 4096 ..." to tell fdisk the sector-size to work with
[12:58] <akik> Terry4: a part of vimpager is vimcat
[12:59] <Terry4> loren: this is cool too, OSX has it by default. (automatic 2nd quote)  does anyone know how to do this in Gedit?  https://superuser.com/questions/629941/quote-or-bracket-completion-in-bash-without-pressing-tab
[13:00] <t4nk715> still same error
[13:00] <OerHeks> alt-gr +  shift + "
[13:00] <t4nk715> g++ -g -Wall -O2 -DLTM_DESC -DTFM_DESC -o TmCryptAuth main.c  -I/usr/include/ -I../libTmCrypt/ -L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib64/  -lstdc++ -lm -lssl -ldl -lcrypto -lcrypt -lTmCrypt
[13:00] <Terry4> loren:   . ~/.bashrc
[13:00] <Terry4> that runs bashrc^
[13:01] <loren> Terry4 thanks
[13:01] <loren> Terry4 that would be cool, Sublime text has it, you can use sublime on ubuntu
[13:01] <lubarch> does anyone have installed ubuntu on android phone? I want to Install it on moto x
[13:02] <loren> Terry4, Don't know about gedit though
[13:02] <rahuldev> TJ-, I'm not much that familiar with these linux terminal commands that's why I'm trying to go with reinstalling, Is I need "fdisk -b 4096 ..." to fix this
[13:02] <Terry4> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2518127/how-do-i-reload-bashrc-without-logging-out-and-back-in
[13:03] <loren> Terry4 yeah, I did it with source
[13:03] <Grammario1> c.gr
[13:03] <loren> I forgot to do it initially, because I can't focus when I'm tired
[13:03] <Terry4> loren: yeh, there's like an infinite amout of secret shortuts in Linux LOL
[13:04] <loren> I didn't know about the "$ . ~/.bashrc" method
[13:04] <michagogo> TJ-: it's setting up the packages
[13:04] <michagogo> I'll let you know once it boots if it's working
[13:05] <guest1009_> Hi, I have a question about ntp. I've set some pools in my /etc/ntp.conf however when I run ntpq -c peers I get a bunch of random servers I've not heard of or set
[13:05] <guest1009_> Am I doing it the wrong way?
[13:06] <michagogo> guest1009_: if you're using pools, maybe it's showing you the servers you're actually connected to out of the pool?
[13:07] <dbugger> Hello guys. My GRUB screen takes too long to draw (about 2 ~ 3 seconds). Why could this be???
[13:07] <[konbanwa]> hello how can you restart modem manager in ubuntu terminal?
[13:08] <TJ-> dbugger: probably using graphics mode on a high-resolution display
[13:08] <guest1009_> michagogo: that could be the case. I have allowed server 0-3.se.pool.ntp.org however I see ip adresses and wierd dns names like flashdance.domain
[13:08] <guest1009_> I wish to restrict my udp/123 to hosts for security reasons
[13:08] <dbugger> TJ-, how could I fix it?
[13:08]  * [konbanwa]
[13:08] <loren> dbugger, have you do alot of customizations like fonts or backgrounds in grub? it tends to be slow
[13:08] <rahuldev> TJ-, thanks, I will reinstall it! :)
[13:08] <[konbanwa]> hello how can you restart modem manager in ubuntu terminal?
[13:08] <dbugger> loren, it is the default GRUB. I didnt change anything
[13:09] <t4nk715> any one more?
[13:09] <TJ-> dbugger: maybe edit /etc/default/grub, and set "GRUB_GFXMODE=" to something smaller the GPU/BIOS supports, or do away with graphics mode entirely using  "GRUB_TERMINAL=console"
[13:10] <akik> guest1009_: the strange names are the hostnames defined in dns for the pool's ip addresses
[13:10] <guest1009_> akik: I have two servers with the same ntp.conf, yet they display different ip adresses when running ntpq -c peers
[13:10] <guest1009_> Wildcard domain? I am unsure
[13:10] <akik> guest1009_: ntp.org has the pool setup done that way
[13:11] <akik> guest1009_: they can not give out static addresses for everybody
[13:11] <dbugger> TJ-, GRUB_GFX is not even set
[13:11] <guest1009_> So how can I with firewall policies only allow the ones I have specified? Can I allow udp/123 on 0-3.se.pool.ntp.org and expect it to work?
[13:11] <rahuldev> TJ-, on reinstalling if set 400gb as 409600, will it be fine?
[13:12] <akik> guest1009_: sorry, i don't know. the pool is dynamic
[13:12] <Industrial> Hi. How do I get the latest NodeJS running and not this VERY VERY old 0.10.x ?
[13:12] <Industrial> its even on npm 1.x
[13:12] <Industrial> .. 3.0 has been released.
[13:13] <TJ-> [konbanwa]: "initctl restart modemmanager"
[13:13] <michagogo> TJ-: Okay, I rebooted and it's the same
[13:13] <MonkeyDust> Industrial  for anything outside the repo's, you need a ppa or .deb, but that's not supported here
[13:13] <guest1009_> seems like ufw do not support dynamic ip adresses through domains... bummer
[13:13] <TJ-> michagogo: same error when trying to start lightdm manually, too?
[13:13] <michagogo> Stuck on the splash screen, and when I edit "splash" out of the boot args I get the tty, with the same lone cursor on tty7
[13:13] <Industrial> MonkeyDust, why is it such an old version? its WAAAAAAY behind the LTS version
[13:14] <[konbanwa]> TJ-: do I need sudo?
[13:14] <Industrial> its like nodejs 3-4 years ago..
[13:14] <michagogo> sudo service lightdm start, right?
[13:14] <michagogo> Yeah, same.
[13:14] <akik> guest1009_: the pool addresses change once an hour
[13:14] <Industrial> ok maybe 2
[13:14] <TJ-> [konbanwa]: yes, if not already using UID 0
[13:14] <MonkeyDust> !latest | Industrial here's why
[13:14] <michagogo> Oh, no, initctl start lightdm
[13:14] <michagogo> Anyway, same thing
[13:14] <Quantos> Hey guys, does anyone know how to get the USB devices working in VBox?
[13:14] <TJ-> michagogo: does it report that "... X -core ... path not found" ?
[13:15] <michagogo> One sec, I'll check the log
[13:15] <MonkeyDust> Quantos  guest additions come to mind
[13:15] <TJ-> michagogo: it was in your terminal output when issuing the initctl start ... command
[13:15] <Quantos> I think they are installed MonkeyDust
[13:15] <michagogo> No it wasn't
[13:15] <Quantos> Not really sure
[13:15] <akik> guest1009_: can you use your network provider's ntp servers?
[13:15] <guest1009_> I believe we have some router in the network
[13:15] <michagogo> initctl only returned the one-line "failed to start"
[13:15] <guest1009_> who can help us
[13:15] <MonkeyDust> Quantos  then it's fo #vbow, i guess
[13:16] <MonkeyDust> Quantos  then it's fo #vbox, i guess
[13:16] <TJ-> michagogo: hmm, I closed the pages of those screenshots you posted too
[13:16] <dbugger> TJ-, loren, look I posted it a long time ago here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/557268/grub-takes-a-long-time-to-paint-the-screen
[13:16] <Quantos> OH, whoops, wrong channel
[13:16] <michagogo> But yes, /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log looks the sam
[13:16] <michagogo> e
[13:16] <Quantos> Sorry guys
[13:16] <akik> guest1009_: one options is to create a cron job to change iptables once an hour, but it's a bit wonky solution
[13:17] <michagogo> (it's "not found in path", but yeah.)
[13:17] <TJ-> dbugger: it looks like what I told you, high-resolution screen. every pixel has to to be bit-blitted manually by GRUB/BIOS
[13:17] <[konbanwa]> TJ-: it trows initctl: Unknown job: modemmanager
[13:17] <TJ-> michagogo: right, so check it exists "which X" - and "ls -l $(which X)" it should be /usr/bin/X
[13:18] <michagogo> `which X` doesn't return anything...
[13:18] <TJ-> [konbanwa]: strange; is modemmanager package installed
[13:18] <michagogo> that's bad, right?
[13:18] <TJ-> michagogo: wow!
[13:18] <[konbanwa]> TJ-: yes
[13:18] <TJ-> michagogo: "sudo apt-get --reinstall install xserver-xorg" - but where did it GO!?!
[13:18] <michagogo> No clue.
[13:19] <michagogo> Crap.
[13:19] <[konbanwa]> TJ-: ModemManager (version 1.0.0)
[13:19] <dbugger> TJ-, so what configuration should I use?
[13:19] <michagogo> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/BxGnxRSp/
[13:19] <TJ-> michagogo: more issues? I think something has happened to that PC more than just this LTSE upgrade
[13:19] <akik> dbugger: did you try the "GRUB_TERMINAL=console" suggestion? it disables the high resolution screen
[13:20] <dbugger> akik, Thanks. I will try. After changing the file, do I need to run any command?
[13:20] <michagogo> I גםמ,א *איןמל* דםץץץ פרקאאט דורק I חודא רשמ איק בםצצשמג כרםצ איק 'ןלן
[13:20] <akik> dbugger: "sudo update-grub"
[13:20] <TJ-> michagogo: did this system have Ubuntu/Unity DE on it?
[13:20] <michagogo> erm, wrong keyboard
[13:20] <dbugger> akik, thanks
[13:20] <michagogo> Yeah, Unity. And what I said was, I don't *think* that's the case -- I'm pretty sure I just ran the command from the wiki
[13:20] <TJ-> michagogo: because if I didn't know better I'd have thought you were working on a server, not a desktop!
[13:21] <michagogo> Nope, this is very much an Ubuntu Desktop install
[13:21] <michagogo> Is there an apt-get log or something?
[13:21] <TJ-> michagogo: It might bw worth reading back through the package manager log to see if at some point some command removed a lot of GUI desktop packages. /var/log/apt/history.log and its friends in the same directory
[13:21] <michagogo> Okay
[13:22] <TJ-> michagogo: great minds think alike :D
[13:22] <michagogo> What's term.log in there?
[13:22] <trijntje> Hi all, I'm trying to figure out what button nr the 'search' button on my mouse maps to so I can bind it to something usefull, but it gets captured before it gets to the xev window. What else can I use to figure out which buttons are on my mouse?
[13:22] <loren> how do I change soft link destination?
[13:22] <michagogo> Oh, a log of terminal output
[13:22] <TJ-> michagogo: the terminal output from the internal shells apt runs to call other tools such as dpkg
[13:23] <[konbanwa]> TJ-: ModemManager (version 1.0.0)
[13:23] <michagogo> Heh, turns out less can read gzipped files
[13:25] <michagogo> I see me installing the vivid lts packages
[13:25] <michagogo> And removing the saucy lts packages, which I guess I had from when the VM was running on precise
[13:26] <TJ-> michagogo: "Saucy" ?
[13:27] <michagogo> TJ-: yes, I guess the upgrade from precise to trusty didn't remove the saucy-components-on-precise packages
[13:27] <akik> michagogo: is the problem machine a vm ?
[13:27] <michagogo> It is
[13:28] <akik> that's a detail that was probably missing in the beginning
[13:29] <TJ-> michagogo: hmmm, that is probably the 'sauce' (excuse the pun!) of the problem!
[13:29] <michagogo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13893884/
[13:29] <michagogo> akik: No, I mentioned it at the start
[13:30] <akik> michagogo: ok i see it
[13:30] <michagogo> TJ-: I was told here that I could safely remove those packages
[13:30] <michagogo> Anyway, how would I go about fixing it?
[13:32] <akik> michagogo: did you need to reinstall the guest additions in the virtualbox vm or is taken care of by dkms ?
[13:33] <michagogo> I'm not sure what dkms is, but each time there's a new kernel version (not just with this upgrade) I always need to reinstall the additions.
[13:33] <akik> michagogo: ok so that's sorted. dkms takes care of recompiling kernel modules after a kernel update
[13:34] <michagogo> akik: I've never had that actually happen
[13:35] <michagogo> Or rather, if it has happened, the additions haven't worked
[13:35] <michagogo> (meaning, the [e.g.] shared clipboard doesn't work until I reinstall the additions)
[13:35] <michagogo> Does that have to do with x suddenly disappearing?
[13:36] <akik> michagogo: no, dkms is not necessary if you update the modules manually
[13:37] <michagogo> akik: well, I mean, I only rerun the installer manually because (apparently) dkms isn't working
[13:38] <michagogo> But anyway, I'd rather not talk about reinstalling the additions right now unless it somehow has something to do with the graphics vanishing
[13:38] <trijntje> How do I find out how ubuntu sees the 'search' button on my mouse, so that I can remap it to something usefull?
[13:40] <MonkeyDust> a mouqse with a search button?
[13:42] <MonkeyDust> mouse*
[13:46] <emadhelmi> hi
[13:46] <emadhelmi> how can i close a port number from terminal
[13:46] <emadhelmi> in ubuntu ?
[13:46] <emadhelmi> for example port number 14269
[13:47] <Mathisen> emadhelmi, http://superuser.com/questions/127863/manually-closing-a-port-from-commandline
[13:49] <michagogo> TJ-: I tried these, which should seemingly deal with what it's complaining about, but it's not working https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/RF1mJwO5/
[13:49] <michagogo> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/kmAMRmw0/
[13:50] <michagogo> Gah, sorry, messed up the pagination
[13:50] <michagogo> One sec, I'll start overL
[13:50] <michagogo> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/ym6jvNZU/

[13:52] <michagogo> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/Msl2i4Tn/
[13:53] <michagogo> So I installed (or rather, reinstalled) all 6 packages it talked about, and it's still broken -_-
[13:53] <user1_> bonjour
[13:53] <MonkeyDust> !fr
[13:54] <michagogo> I mean, maybe I just don't understand what apt's messages mean
[13:55] <Mathisen> michagogo, what does apt-get -f install
[13:55] <Mathisen> tell you
[13:55] <souliaq> Hi, I have a problem with GTK applications in Lubuntu, there is no main menu in any of this applications.
[13:55] <t4nk715> Please help!!!
[13:55] <michagogo> 0, 0, 0, 0
[13:55] <MonkeyDust> t4nk715  start with a question
[13:56] <t4nk715> i can not link library under ubuntu but under debian everything is fine
[13:56] <t4nk715> undefined reference
[13:56] <michagogo> In other words, apt doesn't think anything's broken
[13:58] <t4nk715> may be some know a way how to analyse the call stack or library symbols... ?
[14:00] <MonkeyDust> t4nk715  start from the beginning, what are you doing
[14:01] <t4nk715> i'm trying to link a library under ubuntu and there is a error "undefined reference"
[14:01] <t4nk715> under debian it is working, i do not know how to analyse this problem
[14:02] <t4nk715> waht could be the difference beetwen ubuntu and debian
[14:04] <OerHeks> t4nk715, i just read back, is this correct? " -I../libTmCrypt/  "
[14:05] <t4nk715> yes
[14:05] <kanupatar> hi guys
[14:05] <OerHeks> shouldn that be something like -I /usr/libTmCrypt/  ??
[14:05] <kanupatar> I am using ubuntu 14.04.1
[14:06] <OerHeks> kanupatar, time to update, current is 14.04.3
[14:06] <kanupatar> I dont have internet in that pc. May I know any default serial editors in it. I tried for gtkterm,minicom deb packages but failed due to dependency issues
[14:06] <daftykins> what do you mean 'serial editor' ?
[14:07] <OerHeks> kanupatar, use the offline method in softwarecenter, or see !offline
[14:07] <OerHeks> !offline
[14:07] <MonkeyDust> is .1 still supported?
[14:07] <michagogo> TJ-: Are you still aroung
[14:07] <OerHeks> but you would need to upgrade too.
[14:07] <michagogo> TJ-: Are you still around?*
[14:07] <kanupatar> OerHeks: any links?
[14:08] <daftykins> MonkeyDust: don't think so
[14:08] <michagogo> Mathisen: it doesn't think there's anything wrong (0,0,0,0). (not sure if my previous message sent, I had a connection hiccup)
[14:08] <chains_in_alice> connect irc.undernet.org
[14:08] <MonkeyDust> kanupatar  .1 is no longer supported, upgrade to .3, then ask again
[14:08] <michagogo> chains_in_alice: you probably want a /
[14:08] <OerHeks> kanupatar, what link? you just need internet
[14:09] <daftykins> actually it seems it is; https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases but that makes no sense since an up to date install would be renamed to 14.04.3
[14:09] <livingBEEF> if I installed new kernell (4.2-19 from the trusty-updates repo), do I need to reinstall for example the new xorg radeon driver? If so how? the only xorg radeon drivers have nemes like "xserver-xorg-video-radeon-lts-trusty", not kernel versions...
[14:09] <michagogo> 16:08:36 <MonkeyDust> kanupatar  .1 is no longer supported, upgrade to .3, then ask again <-- I thought upgrading point releases is just a standard dist-upgrade, isn't it?
[14:09] <kanupatar> MonkeyDust: wtf, I already told u i dont have internet
[14:09] <daftykins> michagogo: yes
[14:10] <daftykins> livingBEEF: no you wouldn't
[14:10] <michagogo> !aptoncd
[14:10] <OerHeks> kanupatar, for a single app, the !offline method would work, if the target pc is 14.04.3 too. so if it is not, no go.
[14:12] <livingBEEF> Also xserver-xorg-video-radeon-lts-trusty "replaces" the normal radeon driver. And there was NO linux-generic package for Linux 4.2 as far as I can see (there only were linux-generic named after ubuntu versions)
[14:12] <kanupatar> OerHeks: what is this? I just need a serial editor for ubuntu offline pc
[14:12] <kanupatar> any download link would be appreciated
[14:13] <kanupatar> I dont want to upgrade the pc
[14:13] <livingBEEF> which is why I installed the linux-image, linux-headers and so on....
[14:13] <Sean2147483647> Hi, can review my task? https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/task-instances/6299391119851520/
[14:13] <kanupatar> as I dont want to tamper my complete build environment
[14:13] <kanupatar> update - fucks
[14:13] <daftykins> kanupatar: i ask for the second time, what do you mean 'serial updater'
[14:14] <daftykins> er editor, sorry.
[14:14] <kanupatar> serial editor
[14:14] <kanupatar> like teraterm
[14:15] <OerHeks> Sean2147483647, you better ask in  #ubuntu-google
[14:15] <Sean2147483647> Sorry
[14:15] <OerHeks> np
[14:15] <jorick> does apt-get check the hash of files it deletes? I have a server with a boot partition that's full but trying to remove old kernels makes apt first try to install the newest kernel for some reason
[14:16] <jorick> I was hoping i could just "echo > /boot/oldkernelimage" to make some space and proceed
[14:16] <stand_46> =^_^=
[14:16] <daftykins> jorick: just run "sudo dpkg -r linux-image-x.x.x-##-generic" etc. to get rid of old ones and make space.
[14:16] <stand_46> =^_^=
[14:16] <stand_46> =^_^=
[14:16] <stand_46> =^_^=
[14:16] <stand_46> =^_^=
[14:16] <daftykins> stand_46: STOP.
[14:16] <jorick> daftykins, okay I will give that a try ... should've thought of it myself to use dpkg instead of apt
[14:17] <daftykins> jorick: which version is this? -extra packages have to be removed prior to kernel images, then you can do the headers too
[14:17] <daftykins> see "dpkg -l | grep linux-" for full info
[14:17]  * michagogo is puzzled
[14:19] <michagogo> Does the error message seen at https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/Msl2i4Tn/ not mean that the {gnome,unity}-control-center, libcheese{7,-gtk23} packages aren't installed?
[14:19] <michagogo> I don't need it to be going to be installed, because all 4 of those packages are installed
[14:20] <daftykins> michagogo: apt-get install the mentioned cheese packages.
[14:20] <michagogo> I suspect there's some non-obvious thing I'm missing here
[14:20] <daftykins> or, you may have added a PPA that's breaking your setup.
[14:20] <michagogo> daftykins: I already apt-get --reinstall installed all 4 of those packages
[14:20] <michagogo> and that seemed to work fine
[14:21] <michagogo> I have 2 PPAs installed, neither has any package that's not directly connected to their eponymous packages
[14:21] <michagogo> (and the Google Chrome repo)
[14:21] <daftykins> michagogo: my point was a PPA offering Xorg / cheese :)
[14:22] <michagogo> daftykins: yeah, nope
[14:22] <daftykins> anyway run as suggested
[14:22] <michagogo> run what?
[14:23] <livingBEEF> Ok, so I have linux-generic-lts-wily but the latest xserver-xorg-video-radeon is xserver-xorg-video-radeon-lts-vivid. How come?
[14:23] <daftykins> 14:20 < daftykins> michagogo: apt-get install the mentioned cheese packages.
[14:23] <michagogo> I already tried that: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/ym6jvNZU/ https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/Ppo0Y9oZ/ https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/dYLev8LL/ https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/Msl2i4Tn/
[14:24] <daftykins> you're uploading images of text, this is really really inefficient and silly for sharing
[14:24] <OerHeks> run dist-upgrade maybe?
[14:24] <michagogo> Yeah, I know, but I can't copy and paste :-/
[14:24] <kanupatar> ubuntu sucks
[14:24] <kanupatar> and kills
[14:24] <daftykins> you don't need to, use pastebinit
[14:24] <kanupatar> no default commands
[14:24] <michagogo> This is the raw terminal (ctrl-alt-f1)
[14:24] <kanupatar> minicom
[14:24] <kanupatar> su
[14:24] <kanupatar> tip
[14:24] <kanupatar> or screen
[14:24] <daftykins> kanupatar: just because you didn't get an answer to your question does not mean you can start abusing it in here.
[14:25] <kanupatar> daftykins: not like that
[14:25] <michagogo> OerHeks: nope, 0,0,0,0
[14:25] <kanupatar> why not it comes with any of those commands
[14:25] <daftykins> kanupatar: works fine here, i think your install is wrong.
[14:25] <kanupatar> I check around 4 distro
[14:25] <Maxirus> Is anyone using the "Apple Magic Trackpad 2" with Ubuntu?
[14:25] <EriC^^> kanupatar: what commands?
[14:25] <michagogo> (I've been trying to figure this out with TJ- for a while, if you've been in here and can see the logs)
[14:26] <kanupatar> screen
[14:26] <kanupatar> cu
[14:26] <kanupatar> minicom
[14:26] <kanupatar> tip
[14:26] <EriC^^> you install them kanupatar
[14:26] <kanupatar> nothing
[14:26] <fooobarrr> what is this spam
[14:26] <daftykins> michagogo: you're running install with reinstal for no apparent reason
[14:26] <michagogo> !enter | kanupatar
[14:26] <kanupatar> EriC^^: dont have internet
[14:26] <michagogo> daftykins: that's what was suggested to me
[14:26] <michagogo> without it it just does nothing
[14:27] <daftykins> michagogo: weird. so did you try a dist-upgrade as suggested?
[14:27] <EriC^^> kanupatar: then get debian and the full cd's that contain the whole repository
[14:27] <michagogo> yep
[14:27] <michagogo> Didn't do it, now it's just giving me a 0,0,0,0
[14:27] <kanupatar> EriC^^: any download link with all dependency?
[14:27] <michagogo> I mean, that didn't fix it
[14:28] <EriC^^> kanupatar: go to debian.com and download the full dvd's it's like 4-5 dvd or something with the 1st being the install the rest the repos
[14:28] <michagogo> daftykins: basically, the top-level issue is that the graphical system isn't coming up (just a lone underscore cursor on tty7, if I take splash out of the boot args, otherwise just the splash screen without even the ability to get to the ttys)
[14:28] <EriC^^> kanupatar: why don't you get internet access somehow to your ubuntu install?
[14:28] <michagogo> This happened after installing the vivid LTS stack
[14:28] <EriC^^> using a smart phone maybe etc. kanupatar
[14:29] <michagogo> It's a virtualbox VM, upgraded at some point from precise to trusty
[14:29] <OerHeks> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MakeUbuntuRepositoryDVDs
[14:29] <EriC^^> kanupatar: ^ check OerHeks 's link
[14:29] <EriC^^> !cookie | OerHeks
[14:29] <EriC^^> on the house :)
[14:30] <EriC^^> ( that didn't make much sense.. but yeah :D )
[14:30] <michagogo> lightdm isn't coming up, or able to be manually started: paste.ubuntu.com/13895374
[14:30] <michagogo> TJ- had me check `which X` and it's not returning anything
[14:31] <EriC^^> michagogo: type dpkg -l | grep xorg
[14:32] <michagogo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13895426
[14:32] <daftykins> the core is removed and configured due to the reinstall attempt i guess
[14:32] <daftykins> michagogo: if it's a VM, does it really matter much?
[14:33] <EriC^^> michagogo: what daftykins said
[14:33] <EriC^^> michagogo: if you want X you need to reinstall xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core and xorg
[14:33] <daftykins> michagogo: i mean i would just create a new one, fully update it, then transfer the /home and delete the old
[14:39] <michagogo> EriC^^: well, I'm just trying to figure out where the hell it *went*
[14:39] <michagogo> It was working until I installed the vivid LTS stack, at which point it broke
[14:39] <daftykins> michagogo: well you did run the --reinstall...
[14:39] <daftykins> aaah so we're slowly getting more details :)
[14:40] <michagogo> daftykins: I *did* mention that earlier
[14:40] <daftykins> right but we weren't there earlier
[14:40] <michagogo> And the --reinstall didn't break it, TJ- was suggesting that I try that
[14:40] <daftykins> i'm saying it likely takes it off before putting it back on
[14:40] <michagogo> And I think I mentioned it to you too, no?
[14:40] <daftykins> michagogo: you're just misunderstanding me.
[14:41] <michagogo> Yeah, I did -- 16:28:39 <michagogo> daftykins: basically, the top-level issue is that the graphical system isn't coming up (just a lone underscore cursor on tty7, if I take splash out of the boot args, otherwise just the splash screen without even the ability to get to the ttys)
[14:41] <michagogo> 16:28:49 <michagogo> This happened after installing the vivid LTS stack
[14:41] <michagogo> How so?
[14:41] <daftykins> ok well shall we debate who said what, when for another hour or will you respond to the suggestion of creating another VM and getting this resolved?
[14:42] <michagogo> daftykins: I'd really rather not if this can be avoided -- it's not just /home, I'm using this for a somewhat complex system (gitian-builder) with a whole lot of assorted tweaks and changes
[14:43] <ibmko> Hi, Just dealing with a tricky thing, does anybody know how to make dm-multipath start before mdadm raid (when booting machine)? Goal is to mdadm to grab multipathed devices when assembling the array instead of grabbing the original ones
[14:43] <michagogo> I've migrated the setup a couple times, and each time it's taken a long time to get it all up and running exactly right
[14:44] <daftykins> michagogo: did you need the vivid HWE for a legitimate reason?
[14:45] <daftykins> michagogo: anywho, can you share a "sudo apt update" in a pastebin so we can see what your repo situation is like?
[14:45] <michagogo> It was a few weeks ago that this happened, I'm not 100% sure what the original reason was. I'll check if I can find it in my logs
[14:45] <daftykins> michagogo: i'd recommend you SSH in from the host OS so you can copy and paste into paste.ubuntu.com
[14:49] <michagogo> daftykins: apt? not apt-get?
[14:50] <michagogo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13895890
[14:50] <daftykins> i would consider changing from il.archive myself
[14:51] <michagogo> Why?
[14:51] <daftykins> why not?
[14:51] <michagogo> Is it not best to use a local mirror?
[14:51] <daftykins> normally, but we're diagnosing here... so things change.
[14:52] <michagogo> Okay, I seem to remember choosing it from a graphical menu
[14:52] <michagogo> How can I change it from the tty?
[14:53] <daftykins> backup /etc/apt/sources.list then use a site such as https://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ to create an alternative
[14:57] <michagogo> daftykins: what should I switch to?
[14:57] <michagogo> Is there a "default"?
[14:57] <daftykins> main archive.ubuntu.com would do, you could even remove il. from every line i think.
[14:58] <rahuldev> hi
[14:58] <michagogo> So can I just `sed -i.bak s/il.archive.ubuntu.com/archive.ubuntu.com/g /etc/apt/sources.list`?
[15:01] <daftykins> we're talking about editing a text file, you can achieve it any way you want :)
[15:03] <michagogo> I was just making sure that that was what was intended here
[15:04] <michagogo> Okay, did that and ran an apt-get update
[15:04] <daftykins> now try "sudo dpkg -r xserver-xorg"
[15:05] <michagogo> Okay, one sec -- update's still running
[15:06] <GreeningGalaxy> hi, I'm trying to install Ubuntu Touch on an old Nexus 7 (Grouper) and I simply cannot find good instructions for how to do that anywhere

[15:11] <daftykins> michagogo: ok and "sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get -f install" ?
[15:11] <SunnySingh> :D I have finally installed Ubuntu
[15:11] <SunnySingh> fuck off Microsoft
[15:12] <michagogo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13896467
[15:12] <cfhowlett> SunnySingh, no profanity allowed.  no microsoft bashing allowed. see the guidelines
[15:12] <SunnySingh> sorry, cfhowlett
[15:12] <daftykins> SunnySingh: that childish attitude is not welcome here.
[15:12] <SunnySingh> apologies- my enthusiasm got the better of me
[15:12] <michagogo> So yeah, apt-get doesn't think anything's broken :-/
[15:12] <guest1009_> SunnySingh: stop that at once
[15:12] <cfhowlett> I think he gets it.
[15:13] <daftykins> michagogo: that's a good thing - it has no issues right now. so now run "sudo apt dist-upgrade"
[15:13] <cfhowlett> SunnySingh, welcome to buntu.  see www.fullcirclemagazine.org/downloads to learn lots
[15:13] <michagogo> daftykins: I just get the same 0,0,0,0
[15:13] <SunnySingh> thank you, cfhowlett
[15:13] <daftykins> michagogo: which desktop do you use? unity?
[15:14] <michagogo> Yeah
[15:14] <SunnySingh> I only just successfully installed Ubuntu last night so today is the first full day of us
[15:14] <SunnySingh> * use
[15:14] <michagogo> It's the standard Ubuntu Desktop
[15:14] <cfhowlett> !manual | SunnySingh another useful, free resource ...
[15:14] <daftykins> michagogo: try running "sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop"
[15:14] <SunnySingh> many thanks, cfhowlett
[15:15] <SunnySingh> I am having a slight issue due to my lack of technical nous though
[15:15] <michagogo> daftykins: Same as when trying to apt-get install xserver-xorg
[15:15] <michagogo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13896540
[15:15] <michagogo> er, one sec, forgot the 2>&1
[15:16] <SunnySingh> I had intended to install Ubuntu with the aim of dual-booting with Windows 10 (I only want to retain Windows because of Microsoft Office)
[15:16] <michagogo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13896563
[15:16] <MonkeyDust> SunnySingh  great, but keep the channel free for support questions
[15:16] <MonkeyDust> SunnySingh  type /j #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:16] <SunnySingh> only because the instructions I followed on the installation process led me to change the boot order in Ubuntu I now go to a GRUB screen instead of being given the option to choose with OS to log into
[15:17] <SunnySingh> sorry, MonkeyDust
[15:17] <cfhowlett> SunnySingh, so your dualboot failed??
[15:17] <SunnySingh> I type slow but I promise I do actually have a question
[15:17] <daftykins> michagogo: apt-cache policy libcheese-gtk23 ; apt-cache policy xserver-xorg
[15:17] <SunnySingh> kinda
[15:17] <SunnySingh> I mean I can get into Windows 10 if need be by changing the boot order in Ubuntu
[15:17] <cfhowlett> do you have windows in your grub menu, SunnySingh ?
[15:17] <SunnySingh> yes but when I click on it there is an error message
[15:18] <SunnySingh> I can only boot to Ubuntu from start up
[15:18] <cfhowlett> SunnySingh, you can probably fix that in grub.
[15:18] <cfhowlett> but we need to know the error message
[15:18] <anomally> Just go 100% Ubuntu, you won't have to worry about
[15:18] <SunnySingh> Windows is definitely there as it were because I can navigate to the files and the partition that contained C: drive
[15:19] <SunnySingh> I would but I need some Office programs as I'm a student, anomally
[15:19] <cfhowlett> SunnySingh, right.  this is fixable.
[15:19] <daftykins> !behelpful | anomally that's a silly suggestion
[15:19] <SunnySingh> should I reboot and take a picture of the error code itself, cfhowlett?
[15:19] <cfhowlett> SunnySingh, regarding office, see libreoffice as a replacement.
[15:19] <michagogo> Hm, pastebinit is failing
[15:19] <michagogo> failed to contact server, timed out
[15:19] <cfhowlett> SunnySingh, pictures would help.  details > guesses
[15:20] <michagogo> There we go: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13896661
[15:20] <SunnySingh> yeah Libre looks fine for me personally but it's the fact that Excel is the de facto standard in academia and finance that's a pain in the behind
[15:20] <SunnySingh> OK I'll reboot
[15:20] <SunnySingh> and take a picture
[15:20] <SunnySingh> brb
[15:20] <michagogo> Oh, that didn't capture both outputs
[15:21] <michagogo> The other one is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/13896692
[15:22]  * michagogo still has no clue how xorg-xserver got removed in the first place
[15:22] <daftykins> michagogo: at this point i feel like i would "sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop" ; "sudo apt-get autoremove" ; "sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop"
[15:24] <michagogo> "package 'ubuntu-desktop' is not installed, so not removed" (again, WTF? why is it removed?)
[15:24] <michagogo> autoremove is giving me a 0,0,0,0
[15:24] <daftykins> well obviously because the result of the first wasn't as predicted
[15:25] <michagogo> and the last one is http://paste.ubuntu.com/13896563/ again
[15:26] <daftykins> install ubuntu-desktop
[15:26] <michagogo> Just tried that, got http://paste.ubuntu.com/13896563/
[15:26] <michagogo> (that's not a fresh paste, but it's the one from last time, identical output)
[15:27] <daftykins> i prefer the here and now
[15:27] <michagogo> ...
[15:27] <michagogo> Okay, I'll create an identical paste
[15:27] <daftykins> nevermind, i don't know what's up with that.
[15:28] <daftykins> you should've stayed on the 3.13 kernel though imo
[15:28] <michagogo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13896863
[15:29] <sheepdog> Is there a command to go from desktop to server? I'm limited to a live CD that copy's an image over, the server CD doesn't want to boot
[15:30] <MonkeyDust> sheepdog  explore tasksel (task select)
[15:30] <akik> michagogo: the output says there might be packages that you have held in certain version. is that the case?
[15:30] <cfhowlett> sheepdog, you can install the server then install a desktop to the server ...
[15:31] <michagogo> Yeah, at this point I'm regretting doing it. I don't remember exactly, but I think I noticed that the saucy and trusty lts packages were installed and being upgraded, I came in here to ask what those were and why they were on a trusty machine, and then someone showed me the wiki page, and I figured I should probably be using the newest version so I installed
[15:31] <michagogo> the vivid stack.
[15:32] <sheepdog> Will tasksel get rid of everything that comes with the desktop I want minimum can't do the net install, it doesn't write the boot right on my architecture
[15:33] <daftykins> michagogo: you shouldn't have anything saucy on there, 13.10 is EOL
[15:33] <MonkeyDust> sheepdog  no, it installs additional programs
[15:33] <michagogo> daftykins: I was on precise, and at some point in the past I upgraded to trusty
[15:33] <el3or> how to enable my iphone to be used as mouse on ubuntu machine? I've selected all options under 'desktop sharing' but i can't connect to my machine
[15:33] <daftykins> michagogo: LTS to LTS goes direct though
[15:34] <michagogo> daftykins: what I think happened was that, while on precise, I had the saucy LTS stack installed
[15:34] <cfhowlett> el3or, not sure if trolling .  iphone is not a mouse.  ask #apple
[15:34] <sheepdog> Ah I guess I'll have to check my boot partition and my boot folder and modify the files to get it to boot :(
[15:34] <MonkeyDust> sheepdog  the mini.iso is the most basic
[15:34] <michagogo> And the (meta?)packages for that weren't removed when I upgraded from precise to trusty
[15:35] <el3or> cfhowlett: no troll. https://kshwetabh.wordpress.com/2010/01/09/remotely-control-ubuntu-using-your-iphone-vnc-setup/
[15:35] <cfhowlett> el3or, ok, you already know more than I do.
[15:35] <daftykins> michagogo: :S
[15:35] <michagogo> Indeed.
[15:36] <akik> michagogo: can you check for held packages? "dpkg -l | grep ^h" if that matches libcheese
[15:36] <michagogo> akik: returns nothing
[15:39] <akik> michagogo: how about "apt-cache policy libcheese7" and "apt-cache policy libcheese-gtk23"
[15:39] <michagogo> I checked with awk and uniq, there are 2093 ii's and 9 rc's
[15:40] <michagogo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13897119
[15:40] <whoabilly> got a weird problem here... on ubuntu 15.10, I have disabled IPv6 networking by adding "net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1" net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
[15:40] <whoabilly> net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1
[15:40] <michagogo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13897126
[15:40] <SunnySingh> sorry about the delay!
[15:41] <whoabilly> into sysctl.conf ... after a reboot, ipv6 is still enabled ... but, if I issue the command "sysctl -p" as root, the settings apply and it appears as though IPv6 is disabled from that point forward ...
[15:41] <akik> michagogo: i'm lost.. it's installed but apt does not recognize the version to be >= 3.0.1 or 3.4.0
[15:41] <michagogo> akik: yeah, me too. Either that's the case (which is really bizarre) or the error message doesn't mean what I think it does
[15:41] <dstarh> I need to grep a file, pipe that to another grep and send the results to stderr, all happening in cron.  Is this the correct redirection? https://gist.github.com/dstarh/3a21b0c43567453c57d7
[15:43] <akik> hmm weird warning for apt "WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface yet. Use with caution in scripts."
[15:43] <cfhowlett> akik, yep.  apt is still in development so not all pieces are there.
[15:43] <michagogo> What's apt, btw? I usually use apt-get
[15:43] <Pedro_> Hello, I use Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and I wanted to try some Kali programs. So I installed Katoolin and added the kali repositories to apt-get. Once I did "sudo apt-get upgrade" I got a massive amount of files replaced and now I can't login. Advices? Thx
[15:44] <cfhowlett> michagogo, apt = apt-get's eventuall replacement
[15:44] <mcphail> Pedro_: reinstall, and don't mix repos in the future
[15:44] <michagogo> Pedro_: uh, don't mess with the repos
[15:44] <cfhowlett> Pedro_, you added NON-ubuntu repos to ubuntu?  can't help.  bad advice.
[15:44] <michagogo> Especially not by adding repos meant for a different distro
[15:44] <michagogo> That breaks things spectacularly, as you just found out
[15:44] <cfhowlett> this.  1000 times this
[15:45] <whoabilly> does anyone have any idea why settings in sysctl.conf are not being applied during boot, but, if I run "sysctl -p" after boot, settings are read from sysctl.conf and applied without any problem?
[15:47] <SunnySingh> sorry for the repeated leaving and joining- configuring IRC
[15:47] <michagogo> so... anyone else have any idea why I'm getting http://paste.ubuntu.com/13896863/ even though http://paste.ubuntu.com/13897119 and http://paste.ubuntu.com/13897126 ?
[15:47] <SunnySingh> I took the pictures, cfhowlett
[15:47] <MonkeyDust> whoabilly  for completeness... what's the output of   cat /etc/issue
[15:47] <SunnySingh> just uploading them to Imgur for you
[15:47] <akik> whoabilly: it might be that you need to add -e to sysctl options in the start up script
[15:48] <el3or> anyone familiar with vnc?
[15:48] <whoabilly> result of "cat /etc/issue
[15:48] <whoabilly> = Ubuntu 15.10
[15:49] <MonkeyDust> whoabilly  next time, simply copy paste the output
[15:50] <SunnySingh> do you mind if I PM you, cfhowlett?
[15:50] <cfhowlett> SunnySingh, keep it in channel.
[15:50] <whoabilly> ok
[15:50] <SunnySingh> cool
[15:51] <SunnySingh> I have an old iPhone 4 so uploading the pictures is taking a little while but it's doing it
[15:53] <Pedro_> What about updating Ubuntu 14.04 LTS kernel to 4.x ? Would that bring me problems?
[15:53] <cfhowlett> Pedro_, is the 4.x kernel in the repos??
[15:53] <jpds> Pedro_: sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-wily
[15:53] <jpds> Pedro_: Done
[15:54] <jpds> cfhowlett: Yes
[15:54] <michagogo> jpds: I was told a few weeks back NOT to do that
[15:54] <jpds> michagogo: Why not?
[15:54] <michagogo> That only vivid is supported and should be used and wily is just a preview
[15:54] <michagogo> See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
[15:54] <jpds> michagogo: That's the whole point of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
[15:55] <michagogo> jpds: see 14.04.x Ubuntu Kernel Support on that page
[15:55] <jpds> michagogo: Looks good to me
[15:55] <michagogo> No, look at the box for wily
[15:56] <michagogo> That's only going to be ready to use in February
[15:56] <jpds> Oh, right, it's early preview
[15:59] <jarvispipi> hello

[16:00] <rafaelcenteio> Hi, I have an HP g62 notebook. I have the option of Fan Always On  enabled and it works fine. But after suspendind the computer the  behaviour of the fans changes. Do you know if there is something installed that could be interfering (i.e. passing over the BIOS configuration)? Thanks.
[16:01] <rafaelcenteio> Fan Always On in the BIOS*
[16:02] <SunnySingh> https://imgur.com/a/KAux9, cfhowlett
[16:03] <SunnySingh> there is an album of the error message- sorry about the legibility
[16:05] <cfhowlett> SunnySingh, ok, I might have an idea, but note: I don't not dualboot and don't even have win10.  that said: your grub screen is purple?  if you installed ubuntu in efi, it would be black and white.  the first 2 errors suggest ubuntu is looking for and failing to find the efi boot image ...
[16:08] <SunnySingh> oh dear
[16:09] <cfhowlett> ask in this channel, I can't advise further.
[16:09] <SunnySingh> would that have anything to do with the boot order, cfhowlett? I amended it in Ubuntu's Terminal according to some installation instructions in order for Ubuntu to boot first
[16:09] <SunnySingh> thank you for your help
[16:09] <jre> hello
[16:10] <cfhowlett> SunnySingh, possibly but again: I don't have the experience to advise
[16:10] <SunnySingh> thanks anyway
[16:10] <jre> can someone help me install enable jre java on ubuntu
[16:10] <jre> help please
[16:10] <craigbass76> I'm trying to hook up to a l2tp vpn server with a pre-shared secret.  Installed strongswan, as I hear it replaced openswan, and can't figure out how to configure this connection.  THere's nowhere to stick the preshared secret.
[16:10] <TomyWork> will apt-get -d upgrade only download the upgrades to the local package cache?
[16:11] <jpds> craigbass76: strongswan has nothing to do with l2tp
[16:11] <jpds> TomyWork: Yes
[16:11] <TomyWork> thanks
[16:11] <jre> anybody?
[16:11] <craigbass76> jpds, ok, what's the vpn client I'm looking for?
[16:11] <TomyWork> how long will they stick?
[16:11] <TomyWork> assuming i dont do "apt-get clean" myself :)
[16:12] <jre> is this ubuntu support?
[16:12] <jpds> craigbass76: xl2tpd ?
[16:12] <jpds> craigbass76: strongSwan only does IPsec
[16:12] <SunnySingh> does anyone here use f.lux? The program that changes the blue light emission of screens?
[16:12] <jpds> SunnySingh: Yes, but I use redshift on ubuntu
[16:12] <SunnySingh> thanks, jpds
[16:12] <SunnySingh> does that mean f.lux doesn't work on Linux?
[16:13] <michagogo> Does anyone else have any idea why I might possibly be getting http://paste.ubuntu.com/13896863/, even though those two packages *are* installed (http://paste.ubuntu.com/13897119, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13897126)?
[16:13] <SunnySingh> I've heard of redshift so am happy to use it as an alternative
[16:13] <cfhowlett> jre, ask your ubuntu questions
[16:14] <jre> how do i install/enable Java?
[16:14] <cfhowlett> !java
[16:14] <jre> It says I have java but it does not run
[16:14] <akik> michagogo: this is a crazy idea but what if you removed those packages first and then tried the previous install command again?
[16:14] <michagogo> akik: Hmm.
[16:14] <jre> How can I run Java and know I have correct version?
[16:15] <michagogo> Whoa. One sec, let me pastebin this
[16:15] <scrabcakes> Hi all. My steam just crashed in wine and now my contrast(?) is extremely white! How can I fix this? (Xubuntu 14.04)
[16:16] <cfhowlett> scrabcakes, why would your steam in .wine?  it runs just find in ubuntu.
[16:16] <michagogo> Here's sudo apt-get -s remove libcheese7 libcheese-gtk23: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13897911
[16:16] <scrabcakes> cfhowlett: certain games do not run on ubuntu
[16:16] <akik> michagogo: oh wow. don't go there :)
[16:17] <daftykins> cfhowlett: some people use it under wine for the games that are windows only
[16:17] <daftykins> weird but true :)

[16:18] <TomyWork> Does apt's daily cleanup cronjob do "apt-get clean" or just "apt-get clean" or even nothing at all?
